Confessions of a So-Called Middle Child


text:
Having spent the best part of 15 years in Middle-earth filming six films, it's easy to see how Peter Jackson will be having a hard time saying goodbye to J.R.R. Tolkien's world of hobbits, dragons, elves, orcs and the magical world of Middle-earth. However it turns out that Jackson may be suffering to let go; harboring a 'never-say-never' complex, which is further testament of his reluctance so say good-bye to the franchise completely.
It's probably safe to say there seems to have been a dip in quality between the Hobbit movies and the Lord of the Rings films, and quite a few have attributed this with Jackson's decision to use far more digital effects this time round – as balance of practical effects where possible, and digital effects were done in an almost seamless manner in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Other critics have questioned the need to cover one book with three movies, and see it as more of a cash in, as opposed to anything story related. Needless to say, the Hobbit movies have had a fair share of criticism – including Jackson's decision to shoot at 52fps (frames per second), with people experiencing motion sickness and feeling queasy when the frame rate was initially introduced.
So, if you have been a fan of the Hobbit movies, then this is no doubt good news for you, however, if you have been more inclined to side with the critiques that Jackson has been over reliant on digital effects, and that the latest instalments have lost the heart and soul that the Lord of the Rings trilogy so prominently exuded, then you're probably not too enamoured with the news. You can check out the Honest trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and see what you think (…it pretty much gets it spot on).
Well, either way, Jackson isn't in any hurry to return back to the franchise any time soon, as he plans to spend some time making films based on his little New Zealand stories. Moreover, you can check out what what Jackson had to say in an interview with Variety on more Tolkien movies; and although Jackson doesn't have any concrete plans as of yet to return to Middle-earth, he certainly sounds open to the idea. Here is a quote from the Variety interview:
If I had to start tomorrow, I would say no, because I definitely would appreciate a break to clear my head and get my little New Zealand stories done, which is where my passion and my heart is heading now. But ask me in two or three years, and I'd probably say yes. It would be hard to see another filmmaker go into this world, because I certainly have an emotional ownership of it.
The other side of the proverbial coin is based on the conundrum that: what Jackson wants to do, is a whole lot different that what Jackson is allowed to do – as Jackson has already explained himself this summer. Tolkien may have sold the film rights to the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings in the 1960s, but the Tolkien estate retains the rights to his other works, which includes The Silmarillion.
Furthmore, the fact that the Tolkien estate is not a fan of Jackson's movies (…I understand why that might be the case with the Hobbit… but Lord of the Rings? …seriously?), it seems highly unlikely that they will be handing over the rights to Jackson or his company any time soon (if at all). Jackson already achnowledged this back in 2012, when he was quoted as saying: "I don't think The Silmarillion will go anywhere for quite a long time."
Check out the Honest trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug below and decide for yourself if it actually "rings" true:
So, as it stands, Middle-earth is outwith Jackson's reach at the moment; with his next development being a scaled down low-budget project about his native New Zealand. The project will be based on true stories which Jackson is currently adapting with his longtime partner Fran Walsh, and he says the films will be similar in tone to his 1994 film Heavenly Creatures.
Jackson has worked well with lower budget affairs in the past (it's how he started out of course), and if anything, his overblown adaptation of Lovely Bones could have had a better fate without the ridiculous budget – which didn't really add much to the film in terms of spectacle. It will be nice to see Jackson going back to working on a smaller budget, as his early work, such as Bad Taste and Braindead are gorefest classics.
Thusly, Jackson talks about a much needed change of pace for the time being: "We really feel a bigger urge now to not continue with another Hollywood blockbuster for a while, but to go back and tell some New Zealand stories." Perhaps he should have done this before venturing into the Hobbit as it may have instilled the sensibilities that were apparent in the Lord of the Rings; using practical effects wherever and whenever possible, and not over-stretching the story into three movies.
Are you a fan of the Hobbit? Have you been enjoying the movies as much as you enjoyed the Lord of the Rings trilogy? …are you too, going to feel sad saying goodbye to Middle-earth? Let us know your thoughts!

- The Creolization of Theory ed. by Françoise Lionnet and Shu-mei Shih
This volume examines the notion of "creolization," from its origins as a "historical process specific to particular colonial sites"(viii) to its later use as a more general theme, applicable to cultural mixing and hybridity throughout the world. As the editors point out, the term "creolization" illustrates many of the dilemmas faced in the production and general application of theory, which develops out of a specific context. "Creole" was first used in the Caribbean and Latin America to refer to settlers of Spanish origin born in the New World, before it came to designate the cultural mixing of the Caribbean. With Édouard Glissant, an author and philosopher from Martinique, the term took on a more general, almost universal dimension, since he describes "creolization" as a process, one that has occurred not only in the Caribbean, but elsewhere as well. For him, it refers to an intense mixing of cultures to establish new ones.
Accordingly, the authors of the volume define "creolization" both as an empirical, historical phenomenon that took place in the Caribbean as a result of the slave trade and colonization; and as a concept that describes a universal, dynamic process, one that has occurred or is occurring throughout the globe. In a passage quoted repeatedly in the volume, Glissant makes a key distinction between "créolité" and "créolisation": "créolité," best translated as "creoleness," refers to a state, while "créolisation" to a process. In other words, while "creoleness" is a way of describing a particular kind of identity, one centered in the French Caribbean and Indian Ocean, in the former French colonies of Réunion and Mauritius, "créolisation" is an ongoing series of actions or events. Lionnet and Shih are particularly interested in how "créolisation," as a broad historical process, has been appropriated—both explicitly and implicitly—by "French theory," especially with respect to the study of minority, colonial and postcolonial cultures. According to the editors, these scholars face the challenge of using theory, with its generalizing tendencies, to analyze concrete events and situations, without losing an engagement with politics. The editors' objective is twofold: first, to raise questions about the forms that theory can take with regard to postcolonial, ethnic and Francophone studies; second, to pose fundamental questions about the state of the academy, including the place of theory within it.
The lengthy introduction is in itself a significant theoretical essay about the relationship between theory and ethnic and postcolonial studies within the academy. It presents an extended reflection upon the interface [End Page 165] between theory and practice, and the notion of "creolization." Lionnet and Shih state as their goal to theorize relations between peoples, at a time when the death of theory is frequently announced. As they indicate, the rise of theory in the "global 1960s" often involved the reading of French thinkers in English by American intellectuals, who depoliticized it, largely ignoring the generative context of the Algerian War, as the radical writings of Césaire, Fanon and Khatibi were put into dialogue with Hegelian, Nietzschean, and Sartrean thought. Lionnet and Shih write that during this time period, interrelations between peoples and cultures were transformed by decolonization (of which they consider the Civil Rights movement to be a part), the Vietnam War, and the resulting critique of Western rationalism and civilization, events which led to the institutional formation of ethnic studies and Francophone studies in the U.S.
The volume is divided into three parts. The first part, "Creolizing Methodologies," comprises four chapters that consider the notion of creolization as a concept that prefigures the theoretical frameworks of postmodernism and postcolonial theory. In "Symptomatically Black: A Creolization of the Political," Barnor Hesse writes about the history of "creolization" in the New World (both as a term and a practice), and its relationship to politics. He emphasizes that what ties creolization to the political is the question of race, and explores the implications for Western liberal and radical democratic theories (including humanism), which "routinely...

By Tim Peterson
(Downey) Jayden Daniels racked up 518 yards of total offense and accounted for all eight touchdowns to lead Cajon to a 54-28 victory over Downey Saturday night in the CIF Division 4 Finals at Allen Layne Field.
Daniels rushed for 279 yards and four touchdowns including TD jaunts of 99 and 53 yards. He also threw four touchdown passes and had 239 yards through the air overall.
Twice Cajon went on 21-0 runs, the second of which put the game away in the third and into the fourth quarter. Downey battled throughout but was simply outmatched by a better team.
The Vikings led 14-7 in the first quarter and cut the lead to 34-28 early in the third but each time they were hit with a Cajon blitz.
Tre Noriega caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Daniels on Cajon's first possession for an early 7-0 lead. Downey countered with a pair of Baraq Ross touchdown runs of five and 11 yards to grab a 14-7 advantage. The second Ross TD run came after Cajon failed to convert a first down on its own 42 yard line.
Cajon then went on its first run. First Daniels capped a 65-yard march with a three-yard run. On the next possession, Daniels weaved his way through the Downey defense for a 55-yard score early in the second. Daniels connected with Noriega again – this time for a 29-yard touchdown.
The Cowboys then pinned Downey deep in its own territory on the ensuing kickoff. Two plays later Viking quarterback Kijjon Foots was intercepted by Jhevon Hill and Cajon had the ball at the Downey seven yard line. On the first play Jeremiah Martin was on the receiving end of a seven-yard Daniels TD strike and just like that it was 34-14 with 5:38 left in the first half.
Downey wasn't ready to go quietly into that good night however. Foots hit Chris Atkins on an 18-yard touchdown pass two minutes later to make it 34-21 at the half.
On Downey's first possession of the third quarter, the Vikings got right back in it. They drove 70 yards on five plays with Ross finishing it with a 15-yard run to cut the lead to six.
That was as close as the Vikes would get however as Cajon kicked it into high gear. A 43-yard touchdown pass from Daniels to Dejuan Moon made it a two score game. On the next series Downey pinned Cajon back at its own one-yard line only to see Daniels bust through the line and outrun the Viking secondary for a 99 yard TD sprint.
In the fourth quarter Daniels and the Cowboys put the game on ice as the junior quarterback got loose for a 55-yard run to glory.
Darren Jones had five catches for 68 yards to help Cajon's cause. But It was Daniels who was the Vikings' undoing. For Downey Ross finished with 160 yards and three touchdowns and Foots threw for 227 yards and a score. Atkins had six catches for 89 yards and a TD.
Cajon hasn't lost since September 8 and completed the championship season at 13-1. Downey, which was appearing in its third CIF title game in six years, finished the year at 11-3. The Vikes played well enough to beat most teams, but on this night this wasn't just another team, it was Cajon.

The Portrait is a short, short story where nothing is what it seems. It is the first script I have done–no, I take that back. I did one other one. It was an epic fail and a horrible, gruesome experience (mainly because I didn't know what I was doing and struggled against the structural change from standard prose). Now that I've learned a few things, the whole process was less traumatic. Hopefully, I have not become as delusional as I hope my character is.
By technicality, the story is explicit (but maybe in a PG-13 sort of way, in my opinion). Click the link below to read the story and feel free to leave a comment and/or feedback.

Types of Therapy Programs Available in Port Matilda Pennsylvania
Research studies on dependency treatment typically have categorized programs into numerous basic kinds or modalities. Therapy approaches and also specific programs continue to develop as well as diversify, as well as several programs today do not fit nicely into traditional drug adiction therapy classifications.
Most, however, begin with detoxification and clinically handled withdrawal, often thought about the first stage of treatment. Cleansing, the procedure whereby the body removes itself of drugs, is created to take care of the acute as well as possibly hazardous physical impacts of stopping substance abuse. As stated previously, cleansing alone does not attend to the mental, social, and also behavior problems related to addiction and also consequently does not normally generate long lasting behavior adjustments essential for recovery. Cleansing needs to thus be followed by a formal assessment and also referral to medication addiction therapy.
Due to the fact that it is typically come with by unpleasant and potentially fatal adverse effects coming from withdrawal, cleansing is usually managed with medicines provided by a medical professional in an inpatient or outpatient setup; consequently, it is described as "clinically managed withdrawal." Drugs are readily available to help in the withdrawal from opioids, benzodiazepines, alcohol, pure nicotine, barbiturates, and also other sedatives.

Muffled sketch of Cold War U.S. culture.
Ted Riley is a graduate student in English in an isolated Midwestern town. It's 1959, and the world seems to be on the cusp of dangerous changes, but in the small world of academia, the age's looming violence and paranoia seem muted and far away. Ted is affable, responsible and spectacularly average. Occasionally, he indulges in some vague, armchair anxiety, but he has neither the temperament nor the passion to sustain it for long. Even his concern about his mother's chronic illness is brief and restrained. The novel kicks into gear when Ted falls in love with Dori, a vibrant free spirit from California, and gets even more interesting when Ted falls into an awkward friendship with Andrew Kesler, a melancholy refugee from Eastern Europe who works in the library. Frederick (Accomplices, 2003, etc.) draws a sharp portrait of how Ted's essential decency acts as a balm for his troubled and complicated new friends, but when Ted attracts the attention of Sam Morrelli, a recruiter for a government agency, the novel tips into absurdity. Even Ted can't quite believe he's being asked to be a spy. The novel seems to promise that some explosive secret will be told, some plot uncovered, some personal truth discovered, but alas, it does not happen. In fact, the book is quite static. Sometimes this works nicely, and a claustrophobic atmosphere hovers like a fog, but finally, Ted is too slight a character to inhabit such an atmosphere. The minor characters manage to give the text some texture and dimension; if only the protagonist were not so empty.
Atmospheric and textured but lacking a payoff.

At the end of last year I spent £50 on a PAYG USB mobile broadband stick with T-Mobile. It's bad enough these sticks now cost under £30, but it appears T-Mobile has cut back on its tariffs. When I signed up you could surf for £2/day, £10 for a whole week, or £30 for a whole month without committing to anything longer. Now T-Mobile has quietly dropped the weekly and monthly tariffs, so if I want to use the internet during our week in Kent I'll have to pay £14 for the week instead of £10.
At no point has this change been advertised or reported – it's the fact I feel I purchased this stick under false pretences that winds me up.

Monday was a quiet day as we spent most of our time planning our Seoul trip. We did head out for lunch and dinner.
For lunch we went to Sinpo Woori (Always Happy) and dinner was at Garten which is a Soju and Hof restaurant. I also want to point out it said "Family Restaurant" on the sign, but it was mainly business men enjoying bottle after bottle of soju. There was even a drinking game built into the tables.
At lunch I tried something else new, bibimbap, which is a signature Korean dish. It is rice with different vegetables and it had a raw egg on top which cooks when you stir it. It is served in a stone bowl which is hot – this cooks the egg.
Amy had dok soup, one of her favorites! The soup she got could have fed an army. It was unexpectedly enormous! We also had mandu (Korean dumplings).
Bibimbap and dok soup
For dinner we made some new friends, and I use that term loosely. At the table next to us were two gentlemen, and the wife of one of them. They actually requested to take these pictures with us, we did not ask them.
The gentleman in the sparkle tie (one of my absolute favorite things about Korea, btw) asked Allison if she was a Russian. That's the polite way of asking if she is a working girl. We quickly told them we were American but he remained quite smitten with us anyway, despite the fact that his wife was sitting right next him. They shared their fruit platter with us, so we shared our quesadillas with them. This dinner was the hottest food I have had in Daejeon in seven months. Needless to say, I ate very little.
We also went to the grocery store today but Allison will write another blog about that later.

Hi, I want to add a round to a small Zope based web site. Therefor I would like to add a prev and a next button on each page. So it is possible to start on the first page and then move on to the next one by clicking on the next button. After some clicks on the next button I'm sure to have visited all pages. I want to realize this goal through adding an attribute named sequence (´seq´) to every DTML document that should be reached through the round. The value is a 4 digit number that defines the order in which the pages should appear. Then I've started to implement a method using DTML to generate the hyperlinks for prev/next. The strategy would be to determine the sequence number of the actual document. Afterwards all documents are searched and each id is compared to the actual one. The results should be saved in variables that could be used to set up the links after all documents have been processed. My problem is now how to store the intermediate results in variables. I'm able to define a variable (myseq), but I'm not able to change the value afterwards: <-------- snip <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('myseq', 7L)"> <dtml-if "_.has_key('seq')"> <dtml-call "myseq = seq"> <-- wrong!!!

Today I was on movie "Black Swan". An old man (sitting right of me in sweater with deers) all time was looking asquint on me and thinking: 'Hmmm how was it possible to let a ten-year-old girl into the cinema?!!!'.
Oh shitman, die!
Oh shitman, die!
The movie so liked me, that I called first cooking myself chocolate cake - 'Black Swan' name for
masturbating Natalie Portman. I loooove her leanness!
Good luck in cooking!

} News Corp. NWS, +0.63% , Telecom Italia in digital talks
Last Update:
ROME (AP) -- Telecom Italia and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. are near agreement on an Italian digital television platform, Italian newspapers reported Sunday.
Quoting unidentified sources, several papers, including financial daily Il Sole-24 Ore, said Telecom's new chief executive officer Franco Bernabe was likely to lower Telecom's participation in the planned venture to safeguard against high costs associated with it.
According to daily La Repubblica, Telecom, which now has a 100 percent stake in Stream digital television group, will keep a stake of only 15-20 percent. The rest, to be held by Murdoch's News Corp. (NWS) NWS, +0.63% and French broadcaster TF1, is not expected to be more than 49 percent, according to reports.
Papers said there were still doubts about which other Italian companies would side with Telecom in the new venture.
``It's inevitable that there will be two digital platforms, both with foreigners present,'' La Repubblica quoted Communications Ministry undersecretary Michele Lauria as saying, ``but Italian companies must have the majority.''
French pay-television network Canal Plus is also negotiating to reduce its stake in Italian ally Telepiu from 90 percent to 45 percent, so as to allow the entry of Italian state broadcaster RAI, cellular telephone consortium Wind and Banca Commerciale Italiana, according to reports.

Keep up the good job! I read your blog on a weekly base, mainly to get a quick show off what's happening in the vision market!

I enjoy your blog! It is one of the few machine vision blogs I can find (not tied to a corporate website).
As for monetizing the site ... doesn't bother me one bit. More power to you if you can make some money from your writing.
- February 15, 2013 at 11:21 AM
Monetize by doing product reviews (Just remember to state when it's paid review:)

- Alejandro Galindo said...
Hi, I always read your blog, even though I moved to the academic side it really helps me to be in touch to what's going on out there, what is people really using. As for monetizing I have no problem at all, actually I think it wouldn't even affect me since I read your posts through RSS. Even if I get to see your adds I think you should definitely do it, as long as they are just adds and it doesn't get mixed in the content. As for paid product reviews I'm against it! I want to see what's good not who has more money. Keep up with the great work.
- February 16, 2013 at 12:05 PM
Hi, Please do keep it up! I am sure there are quite a few, like me, who enjoy keeping up to date and getting an opinion in relatively short bites, but without interacting too much.
I wouldn't have any problem with discrete adverts along as they don't get in the way of the content.
- February 18, 2013 at 7:32 AM
As you mention yourself, Machine Vision is a small industry. Keep up the excellent work, and personally adverts would not be an issue for me

Microsoft has announced the first Xbox One update of 2018. In the next few hours, gamers in the Alpha pool will be able to download it.
The update brings changes to achievements, the ability to let friends know that you don't want to be disturbed and a new way to view game information. The changes to achievements are definitely cool. The fact that it'll let you know which achievements you're close to across all games that you own and allow you to track them in one list is useful.

Another day, another Tesco sign making crude suggestions for things to buy your loved one this Valentine's day.
Last week, an employee of placed a sign reading "Ideal for Valentine's" next to a shelf of whipped cream.
This time, in another branch, the sign has been placed next to... ahem... the cucumbers.
It may be crude, it may be immature, but it definitely brightened our day.

Ever been all set to spend a chunk of time scrapping, only to be met at your workspace by a horrible case of scrapper's block? You know – when it seems like all hope is lost as you stare at your piles of photos, papers and tools and come up with nothing?
Never fear. Simply use page layout sketches as inspiration to create your one-of-a-kind masterpiece or completely scraplift the whole layout (this is perfectly acceptable, and in fact highly encouraged). It's genius, really. Scraplifting is the bomb!
After a quick Pinterest search for "page layout sketches", we stumbled across these great, solid sketches and have created layouts based on them.
First up is this fresh, fun layout featuring papers from the Be Bold & Flourish Paper Pack. The 2-Way Corner Rounder nicely rounded off the 3″ x 10″ strips and opposing corners on the small squares (four 1″ squares were cut, then opposing corners were rouned and then assembled as shown) to create the flowers and the title was added using Black ABC/123 Stickers.
Our third layout to share is this fun, simple layout featuring yummy papers from the Vintage Paper Pack (ask your Advisor) and a title from the Tangerine, Plum and Then Some Slide-In Pack. Begin with 2-1/4″ x 6″ strips of various patterned paper (this is a great way to use up scraps). Next, trim some faux ribbons from solid-coloured paper scraps (cut an upside down "V" shape to form the banner end shape) and adhere them under a matted photo. Finally, hand-cut journalling strips from patterned paper or scraps of a slide-in card and adhere.
Have a look at this example – in this version the squares behind the photos have been swapped out for outlines cut from Shades of Pastel designer cardstock to create a window effect! (It's totally acceptable and fun to switch components out and make them your very own designs as you go). This page has also used a drop-shadow technique by layering lighter colour circles slightly offset over darker colour circles. This layout features papers from the Fresh Picks Paper Pack, Music Note Border Maker Cartridge, Watercolour Green ABC/123 Stickers and paper from the Shades of Pastel Designer Cardstock Pack.
Lastly, CM Advisor Sarah Fitzgerald created this bright layout featuring the Look on the Bright Side Paper Pack and Slide-In Pack. Layering trimmed scraps from the paper with trimmed components from Slide-In Cards, she's created a totally fun layout celebrating a special day!
Because we've seen just how much of a kickstart sketches like these can give a scrapper, we've created a board on Pinterest and loaded it up with great page layout inspiration. We hope these sketches give you wings!
Special thanks to North American CM Advisor Sarah Fitzgerald for your contributions to this post. You rock!

Before we get into all that, when I first saw this news, I assumed it had to be a joke, but apparently not. And given how much David Fincher's been a hired hand in his directing career, I guess it kind of makes sense.
It seems that Fincher, who in my book is in need of a winner after the sappy swill that was "Benjamin Button," is in final negotiations to direct "The Social Network," Columbia Pictures' upcoming movie about the creation of Facebook. Take that in for a sec, because it does just indeed seem quite ludicrous.
But the idea of a Facebook flick has a little more merit when you dig into it. The already-written script is by Aaron Sorkin, who before he became infatuated with the religious right was capable of producing some seriously witty stuff. It's based on the book "The Accidental Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich, and will be set at Harvard, where then-sophomore Mark Zuckerberg and his friends set up the social networking monster (yes, I'm on it, and it does prove to be at least a mild diversion.)
While I can't help but think this will be horribly dated if and when it ever gets made, and I can't fathom what beyond a truckload of cash would draw Fincher to it, something still has me holding out hope that it could be a lot of fun.
In much, much crazier directing news, it seems that Zhang Yimou, who last choreographed that simply insane opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympics and hasn't directed a feature flick since 2006's "Curse of the Golden Flower," is now shooting a Chinese remake of the Coen brothers' "Blood Simple."
No, I'm not making that up, and I'm not really sure I could. Called "San Qiang Pai An Jing Qi" - which roughly translates as "The Stunning Case of the Three Gun Shots" - the "thriller-comedy" is set to be released later this year.
Now, I normally rail against remakes as much or more than anyone, but something about a Chinese director actually bothering to take on the Coens' little film noir just makes me smile and laugh, and you can bet I'm gonna see it as soon as I can.
And finally, before we get to the Miyazaki goodness, if you think you're having a bad day at work, just be thankful your boss isn't this guy:
That, of course, is the great Ricky Gervais, and the picture comes from his blog, which you can read here. It's a shot from his upcoming movie, "Cemetery Junction," which will (huzzah!) see him working with Stephen Merchant once again and be about three young men who sell insurance in Reading in the 1970s. "The Office" meets "Mad Men"? I'm there.
But of course, before I got sidetracked, this was supposed to be all about the trailer for Hayao Miyazaki's "Ponyo," which just made its debut and in just a minute-and-a-half or so looks like a real stunner.
And man do we need it. I know I'm just an old curmudgeon standing in front of a thundering freight train, but I sorely miss the good old days of 2-D animation. It's gonna take a revolution to turn back the clock now, and with the voice talents of Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson and even a lesser Jonas and a lesser Cyrus, plus the power of Disney behind it, I'm hoping this shot from the master will play really wide when it opens Aug. 14 and gets things started.
Who really needs to see this, beyond me, of course, is Pixar's John Lasseter, who, before making the fool pronouncement that his company would from now on only make movies in 3-D, expressed a love and admiration for Miyazaki's work. Here's hoping he sees this flick and has at least a partial change of heart.
Anyways, as you can see from the trailer, this is Studio Ghibli animation at its best. That scene when Ponyo rides out of the sea on the backs of a school of fish is just fantastic, and has me thoroughly jazzed to see this as soon as possible. Enjoy, have a passable Wednesday, and if you have a chance, take a break to watch some of the U.S.A.-Spain Confederations Cup semifinal this afternoon on ESPN. Peace out.

Remember glorious 2-D animation? Miyazaki does, and it looks amazing

How We Work
All of our team members are industry trained in their chosen field, whether it's residential or commercial landscape design or construction. Artworks Landscape employs in-house designers and landscapers to ensure consistency in our delivery and service. We are able to offer a complete landscaping service – providing custom landscape design through to construction and maintenance.
After an initial phone conversation with one of our trained staff to discuss your requirements, we will arrange for one of our talented landscape designers to meet with you at your property for an on-site consultation. A typical on-site consultation can take one to two hours, depending on the scope and size of the work. At the on-site consultation, our landscape designer will walk with you through your space, get to know your environment and vision and discuss and trace out your ideas.
It is at this point we will answer any questions you might have regarding the process and outline the next steps – including what level of landscape design is required before construction can begin.
After an on-site consultation with one of our qualified landscape designers, we will discuss with you the best type of design plan required to meet your budget, specifications and requirements.
Artworks Landscape can produce design plans for all types of projects. Plans range from:
- General Sketch – Sometimes a simple design of your ideal landscape is all that is required. A general sketch will simply include a general layout of ideas and planting suggestions. Please note, a general sketch is not to scale and is purely a drafting of ideas and suggestions.
- Full-Scale Plan – Our most popular option, a full scale plan is a detailed and complete concept plan. A full scale plan generally includes a complete layout design, a planting and material guide along with a considered and structural plan.
- Planting Design – A planting design outlines the most suitable plants for your landscape – It will consider the best use of height and depth to create your garden while also recommending the most suitable plants for the condition of your landscape and environment.
- Construction Drawings – On request, Artworks can create full, to scale, construction drawings for contractors.
In order to get started on creating your new art work, we need a plan and a scope of work. This can be an existing sketch which you have developed or one of our custom landscape plans from the team at Artworks Landscape. From this plan and scope we can develop a comprehensive quote or estimate of the construction costs – including a budget for selected plants and materials.
We understand that landscape design and construction can be a considerable investment. We have several clients who choose to implement the construction phase of their landscape design in stages over a manageable period of time. Please speak to one of our expert team about the options available.
Once a plan, a scope of work and a budget have been agreed, we will meet with you to discuss timings, your expectations and delivery dates. The time required to implement landscape designs depends on the scale and size of the project and the design requirements.
To ensure consistency and a stress-free experience, each Artworks Landscape project is managed by an experienced project manager and site foreman. Your assigned project manager will work with you from the out-set – communicating with sub-contractors and liaising directly with you to ensure you are kept up to date and informed throughout the construction process. Your site foreman will remain on-site throughout the construction phase – ensuring the smooth-running of the build and will be on-hand for any of your on-site questions or issues.
We are dedicated to providing all our clients with a positive landscape design and construction experience. Our open and friendly team will work with you to construct your landscape with little disruption to your business or daily routine.
Contact us now to get your garden into shape.

Blog post No. 3,130: Allsorts
Sometimes when I'm drawing, there will be a theme, a thread or something, that goes through a few things. Lately, I've been thinking about liquorice allsorts. Just from an aesthetic point of view. I've been here before, briefly in 2014. Look:
And recently, I done a tweet about it, which ended up leading to some more drawing.
Bassetts and Lego should get together and make Liquorice Allsorts bricks. Obvs, a few kids would choke to death, but they'd look nice. pic.twitter.com/S3EMv1chvv
— Craig Robinson (@flipflopflying) September 24, 2016
I did this in SketchUp:
And then played around, doing the allsorts at a uniform square size, I put the idea of Lego and building something with the square pixelly allsorts together and did this, a liquorice allsorts Reichstag. Right click on it to see it full size.
Kinda feels like a I could work on this. Feels like this could be the first step towards a series. Needs a bit of work, but it's a start.

Minecraft Project Day 1
After writing about the fun I have had with Minecraft Pocket Edition (the iPad version) recently, I figured that a nice little addition to the daily blog would be to start a new game and play just one Minecraft day for every blog post. One Minecraft day is 20 minutes: ten minutes of day, ten minutes of night. Most of the time, I will be sleeping during the Minecraft night, and ten minutes isn't a whole lot of time to get stuff done, so there won't be monster blog posts every day; just a handful of screenshots and a few notes for each post. (This first one is a bit longer, just in case you're not familiar with the game.) You may well be rolling your eyes at this idea, but if you like Minecraft or have any interest in purchasing Minecraft, maybe it'll be vaguely interesting. On with the show!
Here we very much go. Tap tap tap:
And here's the world I've been dropped in. A spruce-y forest kinda place:
And here's me. I am female:
Punch tree, get wood:
Quickly use those wood blocks to make some wood planks and then use those planks to make a crafting table, a wooden axe, and a wooden pickaxe:
First things first, I need to find somewhere to shelter when night comes. Time to dig a hole. (Mining stone drops cobblestone, which you can see hovering down below. That will come in handy for making stronger tools):
Yep, this looks like a nice area. A lake next to a forest. Is this Minecraft or Sweden?
Hello, Mr Sheep. You will be dead very soon. I'm sorry about that but until I have some iron to craft some shears, the only way to get your wool (which I need to make a bed) is to kill you. Soz:
Sheep dead and gone, and floating in its place: one thing of wool (I need two more to make a bed) and one hunk of mutton. That will come in handy, too, to prevent death:
Sun's goin' down. Town to get back to my hole before the bad guys come out at night:
Nearly bedtime:
Inside my hole:
Yawn. I'm sleepy. Goodnight, y'all. (I wish it didn't have the Leave Bed button there, it'd be more aesthetically pleasing for this daily silliness):

Zero-Waste Living: New Fire Festival
It's no secret that modern society creates more waste than is necessary. In fact, many of us unconsciously contribute to creating waste by consuming more than we need on a daily basis. Single-use items such as paper napkins, disposable utensils, plastic packaging and Styrofoam containers are just some of the materials that advance the problem.

ROXANA, Del. � Victorville American wrapped up play in the Senior League World Series with a 10-0 loss that ended after six innings to Delaware District 3 on Saturday to finish fourth.
"These girls did an amazing job," manager Armando Felix said. "Being here and experiencing (the tournament) is something they will remember for the rest of their lives."
Delaware District 3 jumped on Victorville American with eight runs in the bottom of the first and it cruised from there. Pitcher Regan Green � who will be a high school junior and is verbally committed to Mississippi State � struck out 14� and limited VVALL to two hits.
Felix said he thought Green was the best pitcher competing at the Senior League Softball World Series or at the Big League Softball World Series, which was held at the same location.
Victorville American also lost to Delaware 10-1 in pool play. It lost in the semifinals on Friday to USA Central, which shut out Africa & Europe 5-1 for the championship on Saturday.
Victorville American went 3-1 in pool play and lost just four games over the course of winning the District 49, Section 8, District 3 and Western Regional tournaments.
Felix said he felt the time difference and the fact that they've been on the road so much the last two weeks finally caught up with his team at the end of the tournament.
During the world series, opposing teams traded pins and other souvenirs when they played and younger girls would come up and seek the different players' autographs before and after games.
"They were celebrities for a week," Felix said.
Regardless of how the world series ended, VVALL had an amazing run. It became the first District 49 Little League all-star softball to reach a divisional world series and is the first district team to make it thus far since a Big League Baseball team finished third in 1994.
Only two of the VVALL players will be too old to compete in the Senior League division next season, so there's a chance that the same group of girls could make another deep run in the all-star season.
"If the girls choose to, it's up them," Felix said. "It's their decision."

It wasn't 300£ for the five books... it was nearly 300£ for ONE book. I now have a greater appreciation of my daughter's growing manipulative skills where her mother's Shock And Awe tactics are likely to be deployed.
She graduated magnificently. My little angel looked utterly, utterly fabulous; long, long legs; long, long hair; discrete but smart clothes underneath her Ede & Ravenscroft. And I wasn't the only parent marvelling at their daughter's voice squealing with delight, "OMG it's like being at Hogwarts!"
"...At the college we were met by a wall of academic women: young ones and old ones and in-between ones, all gowned, some in their scarlet, and the gossip and chatter and disputation and anecdotes, and the smell and sight and sound of clever, focused, happy women which is the nearest we'll get to heaven on earth."

Although Betsy and Joe Doud didn't know anyone when they moved to Falmouth in 2002, they knew they wanted to spend their retirement years giving back.
That dedication will be celebrated at Falmouth Education Foundation's Winter Gala at the Coonamessett Inn on March 3.
"Betsy and Joe deeply believe in the importance of enriching the community for all, and they have lived that belief through their careers and in their retirement," said Ellen Barol, president of the Falmouth Education Foundation. "FEF is one of many organizations benefiting from the Douds' kindness and dedication, and we are very glad they agreed to be our 2018 honorees."
The Douds initially became involved in the local community by joining the Falmouth Newcomers Club. Betsy, a lifelong educator, led trips through the group's Lunch and Learn program to cultural institutions all over Cape Cod and Boston. Prior to the Douds' move to Falmouth, they lived briefly in Florida, where they volunteered in a large soup kitchen. A desire to continue those efforts brought Betsy to the Falmouth Service Center, where she signed up to be a volunteer during her first visit. She eventually began teaching a budget management course for clients seeking financial assistance
"Once a teacher, always a teacher, I suppose," she said. "My work at the service center dovetailed with my work at FEF. Although there is a large economic disparity in our culture, I strongly believe that gap can be reduced by a great education. Every child deserves that.
Empowering youngsters through education has been a lifelong passion for Mrs. Doud, who spent 20 years teaching English at an alternative high school in suburban Chicago.
Former FEF board chairman Margaret Hough Russell, who at the time served on the service center board, encouraged Mrs. Doud to offer her time to the recently formed educational nonprofit. FEF's mission to support outside-the-box teaching initiatives that were not funded within the school budget resonated with Mrs. Doud, who witnessed in her own career the effectiveness of unique teaching methods coupled with traditional classroom learning. She joined FEF and eventually became board chair.
"The school where I taught offered a full high school curriculum at night," she said. "Most of our students came from a struggling academic background and had been asked to leave high school under duress, although many of them ended up pursuing a college degree."
"It was a wonderful teaching experience for me,' she added.
As a single mother raising two children, Mrs. Doud hadn't entered a classroom for 20 years when she applied for the position. Before long, however, she was incorporating museum trips and other experiential learning into her syllabus in an effort to encourage new interests and potential career paths for her students.
"Many of these young people had never been to an art gallery before, so I would bring them to an evening exhibit where they would immerse themselves in the work and write a poem about it," she said. "The goal was to take them out of the classroom and into the world and combine it with an academic experience, which is exactly what FEF is doing."
Joe Doud also discovered the importance of providing a variety of opportunities for young people to enhance education through his role as director of parks and recreation in his native Iowa. Later, he oversaw the nationally-recognized park district in Northbrook, Illinois.
"We focused on things beyond sports and athletics,' he said. "We offered dance programs, community theater, trips to Chicago for museums and plays. I saw firsthand the value of allowing kids to spread their wings in relation to gaining knowledge."
In addition to supporting his wife's volunteer commitments in Falmouth, he has worked for the past decade in the emergency room at Falmouth Hospital, where he registers triage patients on Mondays, attempting to ease their anxiety and offer comfort. He is also a member of a men's networking group that meets each month at Talk of the Town Diner in North Falmouth.
Mr. Doud became emotional when reflecting on his wife's work with FEF over the past 12 years.
"I'm so proud of Betsy," he said. "She's extremely dedicated, and everything she has ever done has produced a result."
Mrs. Doud expressed her pride for how far FEF has come. Last spring, the organization awarded more than $107,000 in grants for the 2018-2018 school year, its largest amount ever.
"I'm grateful to live in a community that supports FEF's efforts and where we have teachers who are willing to take the time to pursue these grants," she said. "Because of FEF, we're able to help level the economic playing field so that every child in Falmouth has the same opportunities."
Falmouth Education Foundation Winter Gala
FEF's Winter Gala at the Coonamessett Inn, which regularly sells out, will feature a live and silent auction as well as dinner and dancing. The event will begin with cocktails at 6 PM. Tickets are $75. Call Meghan Buckley at 774-763-2347 for more information, or visit falmoutheducationfnd.org.

OpEd: Thank You, Your Honor! – Thorne-Begland Sworn In as First Gay General District Judge
March 2, 2013
Read More:
This piece ran originally on R. Gorsline's blog found here
I was a witness to history today.
Tracy Thorne-Begland was sworn in today as a Judge in the General District Court of the City of Richmond.
Soon such an event will not be historic. Indeed, the next judge sworn in who shares one particular characteristic with Tracy will not make history in the same way, He (or she)will simply be reported by the media as the second openly gay judge.
But on Friday, March 1, in the City Council Chambers several hundred people–judges, legislators, city council members, the Mayor, members of the bar, friends, and family–gathered to celebrate and watch history in the making.
There were a few firsts in the event itself, in addition to Tracy.
- The Hon. Bevil Dean, Clerk of the Circuit Court, told me that this was the first time ever that an investiture of a judge was held in the City Hall. Usually these affairs are held in a courtroom, but they are all too small. They had to move to accommodate the crowd!
- After Judge Thorne-Begland was sworn in and he shook hands with the judge who led him through the oath and shook hands with legislators who helped him gain the appointment–most notably Delegates Manoli Loupassi and Jennifer McClellan and Senator Donald McEachin–he turned and kissed Michael Thorne-Begland, his husband of 20 years. . . right square on the lips. Two men may have kissed in the council chambers before, but this time no officer of the court could rise to object nor could any police officer say a word. It was the sweetest of moments.
- And then the Hon. Tracy Thorne-Begland addressed the court and the audience. I doubt there have been many such occasions anywhere in the country–and I know there have been none in Virginia–in which the new judge spoke of "the elephant in the room," namely the fact that there were, and are, people who believe he is not qualified for such an office because he and Michael have been married (in their eyes) for 20 years and are raising two adorable children (who were present, and looking very proud of their dad).
There are so many advances these days for LGBT people, in our country and all around the world. Many people think they happen everywhere but Virginia.
Today, we advanced, too.
Of course, I thank God most of all for this, and Manoli and Jennifer and my dear friend Donald, and the managing partners of the five largest Richmond law firms who spoke up on his behalf, and the Circuit Judges who appointed Tracy to an interim term so some of the naysayers could see that all the negative fuss was wrong-headed and silly, and Tracy's mom (and Michael's too, who went to bat for her son-in-law) and a lot of other good people (I like to think that People of Faith for Equality in Virginia helped a little, too).
But the person I most thank is the judge himself.
He is a man of character and intelligence and determination and bravery. He was brave flying fighter planes and he is brave sticking his neck out to serve. He serves his country today just a importantly as he did flying in the skies to keep us safe.
And he knows that in order for change to happen, good people have to do things.
That reminds me of one other delicious moment. Michael quoted his children, whom he said talked about the controversy, as it ebbed and flowed over the past eight months. One time, looking at the newspaper talking about their dad, they said, "Gay lawyer, gay prosecutor, gay judge, blah, blah, blah, how boring!"
In case you did not know it, that is where we are headed. And we have the Hon. Tracy Thorne-Begland to thank for helping us get a step closer.
Thank you, Your Honor. And may God continue to bless you and your honorable court.
Rev. Dr. Robin H. Gorsline is President of People of Faith for Equality in Virginia, an interfaith organization of gay and straight clergy and lay people working for equality for LGBT Virginians. Read more of his thoughts on faith and spirituality on his personal blog.

We depend on a water heater day after day. Because they are often installed in the storage or basement, we don't think an excessive amount of about it until we would not have any scorching water or we discover water leaking on the floor. Many water heaters will last for a very long time because they have been given correct upkeep to extend their life. By extending the life of your water heater, you lower your expenses because you wouldn't have to buy a new one.
You will want to do a easy three-step program annually to maintain your tank at high condition. This program will solely take about 5 minutes to do and is straightforward to accomplish. You can be doing three things:
Change the temperature
Test the Aid Valve for temperature and pressure
Flush sediments from the bottom of the tank
Let's begin with Step No. 1: Changing the temperature
At the entrance of the water heater tank is a dial. It may be a knob on the gasoline valve or a thermostat on an electric heater.
Change the settings to about 60 degrees. If you preserve your water hotter than this temperature, you are losing energy and should cause your tank to overheat. Your scorching water heater will actually add cold water to the recent water if it is extremely high as a security measure.
The second step we're going to check is the temperature and pressure relief valve. This valve is critical to the correct operation of your water heater and is a security feature.
To test the valve, lift up the lever about half approach, let go, and let it snap back.
Hear for a gurgling sound. The valve is permitting water to be launched into the drain tube.
In case you did not hear anything, it may imply that the valve is bad and must be replaced.
The third and last step of sustaining your heater is to flush the sediment from the tank. This will assist forestall corrosion and rust from building up inside the tank. It's best to do a full flush however meaning you would need to shut down your storage tank and drain all the water inside. You'll be able to perform a smaller flush that can work. You can do this mini flush while the hot water heater continues to be running. Here's what to do:
On the bottom of the tank is a drain valve. You may hook up a hose and run it outside or put a bucket under the valve.
Your tank could have a handle on the drain or one that will need to be turned with a screw driver.
Turn the handle counter clockwise. Hot water will start draining from the tank.
When you have got drained a couple of gallons, flip the drain off by turning clockwise.
Warning: Be prepared for the water draining from the water heater to be hot. Make certain children should not round you when you do this and watch out that you are not burned.
Even with care, a water heater can have problems. Indicators that your water heater is having a problem are the following:
No sizzling water
Water leaking across the base of the heater
Low popping sound inside the tank
Rust colored water
Cool or cold water on the tap when the hot water is turned on
If you're skilled with replacing water Cartridge Heaters in Doha Qatar, you may change your heater or attempt to repair the world which may be broken. Your other option is to call a plumber. These are attainable problems that your water heater could also be having:
The heating ingredient could also be bad in case you get luke warm water when showering.
Check to see when you're having an issue with not having enough hot water. Is it within the morning or night when all the members of the family are showering? You could need a bigger tank or a change of schedules.
If you are experiencing rust colored water, you will have corrosion and rust inside of your tank or the anode rod is failing.
If you are hearing a low popping noise, it's boiling water inside of your tank. Sediment has built up in the backside of your tank and it is overheating.
If you happen to find that your heater is leaking, it's often the aid valve not working properly or your tank has rusted or corroded.
Retaining your hot water heater in good situation is important. You'll enjoy the benefits of having scorching water once you want it.
Chances are you'll need to add a "blanket" around your heater. This is a special blanket that can help to insulate your sizzling water heater and bring it to an insulated worth of R-16. Check the fittings on your heater to be sure they're dry and in good condition earlier than installing the blanket.

"Very satisfied! We had been using a pool company to open and close our pool for 10 years. We were very happy with their service, however, Z Pool Boy gives us a level of service and reliability that far surpasses any we have experienced." Dr. Anthony- Setauket
"Z POOL BOY is simply "Z BEST"! On-time courteous service and he really knows his stuff. Far and away, the finest pool service that I have ever had in 35 years of pool ownership." Bill- Wading River
We had our pool closed by Z Pool Boy and were extremely satisfied. the young man was
courteous and did a wonderful job. What my husband and i were really impressed with was
when we went into the shed all of our equipment was put away so neatly. we would like to
have a weekly service and our opening from Z Pool Boy. since we are new to long island
we used a few pool services but none compare to this one.
Thank you for the holiday greeting card.
Sandy (St James)
Couldn't have been more satisfied. Blows away the other 4 companies I have used over the years. Efficient, clean, friendly, professional, and priced great. Roger,at my pool closing put my pool cleaner, skimmers and floats away in my shed without me even asking or expecting it. i will never use anyone else.
Andy (Setauket)
As a new owner of my Home and Pool, and never having an in-ground pool, my husband and I were clueless where to start. Roger was there every step of the way and educated us how to maintain the pool.
Roger also was wonderful when it came time for us to go away on vacation. He came and maintained our pool while we were away. We enjoyed our vacation without worrying and we had a crystal clear pool when we returned. We are looking forward to working with Z Pool Boy this summer. Thank You Roger!
Marie & Bob (Smithtown)
I was very pleased with your pool service last summer. As you Roger, I have had various problems with my pool for many years. When I was unable to get my pool started because of air in the lines you knew exactly what to do and had the tool on hand to do it. You also saw that there was a broken flap and ordered the part and replaced it. After that I did not have any other problems with my pool. I also appreciate the fact that you are local and often in the neighborhood if a problem were to arise. I am excited about having you open my pool in the spring!

Anatomical Donation Program (ADP)
Students who are training in the healthcare professions must have a thorough understanding of the human body. Donation of an individual's remains to a medical school enables the students to learn human anatomy from the best of all teachers... the body itself.
Today, an increasing number of people are performing a valuable service by making arrangements to donate their bodies to medical science after their death.
Below are questions asked most frequently by those considering giving their bodies to the anatomical donation program at Mercer.
Who can enroll as a donor in the Anatomical Donor Program at Mercer University School of Medicine?
The Anatomical Donor Program at Mercer University School of Medicine is regulated by the Georgia Uniform Anatomical Gift Act and is currently accepting applications only from residents of the state of Georgia, due to geographical limitations.
How will my body be used?
The Anatomical Donor Program at Mercer University School of Medicine (MUSM) utilizes all donated human remains for teaching, training and instructional purposes. The majority of bodies are used for the teaching of anatomy (body structure) to MUSM medical students and other medical professionals. Other bodies are used by surgery interns and residents at the Navicent Health (formerly known as the Medical Center of Central Georgia) or Memorial University Medical Center, our affiliate hospitals, to review anatomy during their specialty training. A few bodies are used by physicians to solve biomedical problems or to develop new medical or surgical procedures.
Will it cost me anything?
Possibly. If you are within 50 miles of Macon at the time of your death, the costs for transportation, embalming and cremation will be covered by Mercer. If you are outside that 50 mile perimeter, the family or estate will be responsible for costs of transport to the Mercer University School of Medicine. To estimate the transport costs to be paid by your family or estate, multiply the distance from the location to Macon in miles by $2.25/ mile. An example of the current transport costs: Transport from Atlanta, GA for MUSM Anatomic Donors 100 miles @ $2.25/ mile = $225 Transport from Valdosta, GA for MUSM Anatomic Donors 150 miles @ $2.25/ mile = $340 Transport from Savannah, GA for MUSM Anatomic Donors 170 miles @ $2.25/ mile = $390 Even then, though, embalming and cremation will be paid by Mercer.
May my family have a memorial service for me if I donate my body to Mercer University?
Yes. However, since the donor's body must be delivered to the medical school as soon as possible after death, it is not possible to have traditional services. Thus, many donors and donor's families prefer to have a memorial service without the body, thereby celebrating the life and eulogizing the donor's spirit. With proper coordination with clergy or a funeral director, the family may arrange a memorial service at the expense of the family.
How may my family obtain the death certificate?
Your family or estate may obtain the death certificate from the contracted funeral home that does the embalming. To obtain the contact information for the funeral home, please contact the Anatomical Donation Program Director, Dr. Lee Anne Cope at 478-301-4007.
Should anyone else know about my decision to donate?
Yes. Several members of your family and your doctor should be aware of your decision to donate your remains.
Will my remains be returned from the School of Medicine?
All of the donations used at Mercer are cremated following their use. This may be up to 24 months after the death of the donor. Internment of cremated remains in the university plot or their return to the family will be according to the wishes of the donor as indicated in the ADP paperwork on file. If the family desires to make different arrangements for the disposition of the ashes, the expense of this must be provided by the donor's estate or the family.
Once a year, to honor the donors and recognize their selfless contributions to the Anatomical Donation Program, a memorial service is held. This service is conducted by the school's chaplains, faculty and selected medical students and may be attended by the donor's family and friends.
Do I need to have a "Will" to donate my remains?
No. Anatomical donations to Mercer occur by direct enrollment with us. The information packet contains all of the necessary forms and must be filled out completely and signed by the donor and notarized.
Enrollment into the Anatomical Donation Program must be at least 90 days prior to death.
Can I donate my organs to other agencies before I donate my body?
No... with one exception. You may donate your eyes to some organization other than Mercer.
Can anything prevent my donation?
Yes. Certain diseases or infections during your lifetime can prevent your donation. There are even certain height and weight restrictions. Information regarding these restrictions is contained in the Physician Information Packet. Ask your doctor to help you determine if you are medically suited to be an Anatomical Donor. However, even enrolled individuals are sometimes turned away for various reasons. Consequently, we require that you submit the "Alternative to Anatomical Donation" form in case your desire to donate is not a possibility when the time comes.
Can my family donate my remains without my consent?
No. Individuals must enroll themselves at least 90 days prior to death. The bequeathal form must be signed by the donor and witnessed by a Notary Public.
Who should be notified of my death?
At the time of death the physician, hospital or nearest relative should immediately call the Mercer University Police at (478) 301-2970 (24-7).
May friends and/or relatives make contributions to Mercer University School of Medicine in my memory?
Yes. Gifts are tax-deductible, should be made payable to the Anatomical Donation Memorial Fund, and be directed to the Anatomical Donation Program at the address below. Alternatively, gifts may be made through the Mercer University Website via the Alumni/Giving menu. When using the latter option please direct your gift to the Anatomical Donation Memorial Fund using the "Other" option and be sure to designate "In memory of (donor's name)" in the Comments section. Gifts will be acknowledged to the donor and to your family. Funds from such gifts will be used only for medical education.
How may I leave my body to Mercer University?
You may call (478) 301-4007, or you may write to: Dr. Lee Anne Cope, Anatomical Donation Program, c/o Division of Basic Medical Sciences, Mercer University School of Medicine, 1550 College Street, Box 173, Macon GA 31207.

Thank you for your interest in the Anatomical Donation Program. Your generous donation will benefit an entire class of MUSM graduates who will go out to serve rural Georgians and carry an anatomical education that you have directly contributed to.
