MYOD, Melbourne Young Onset Dementia Service
We are a group of neuropsychiatrists, neuropsychologists and other health professionals working in a large hospital.
We have developed a new health service to help young people with dementia (ages 20-60, many in their 30s and 40s). Dementia is associated with a progressive loss of memory and other intellectual functions that is serious enough to interfere with performing the tasks of daily life. Dementia can also causes changes in an individual's personality and behaviour. Common types of dementia are Alzheimer's disease and Fronto-temporal Dementia. Very few other resources are available to help young people with dementia and their families.
This group is different from older persons (over 65s) in their needs and types of disorders - we need to differentiate ourselves from services that deliver services to older groups. Our clients are young and independent.
We provide diagnostic work up, treatment but most importantly follow up with support and counselling for families. We run support groups for patients and families living with these conditions. We also provide information and education for patients and their families as well as other professional groups involved with these disorders.
Our group has many years experience delivering this sort of service. We have strong links to research, through another organisation - Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre.
The target audience is broad. There are two main groups we are targeting.
The first is people who would make a referral to our service. This would include other health professionals, including General Practitioners, Neurologists, Psychiatrists and Allied Health Professionals. They would refer to us to obtain an accurate diagnosis for a patient. They would also refer to us to get assistance with the treatment and management of young people with dementia. The branding will also serve to be the face of our service to Government and other agencies involved with these patients.
The second target audience is people with Young Onset Dementia and their families. We aim to support young people with dementia in the community and assist them in coming to terms with a condition that affects their ability to lead a full and independent life. We want to come across as professional, experienced, trustworthy, caring and supportive.
The word 'dementia' often has a negative stigma attached to it, so we want to try and minimise the stigma for these individuals and their families. Dementia is a very difficult diagnosis to give to a young person. Young people with memory, thinking and behavioural problems are often scared about what is happening to them. People are often unwilling to come and seek help as they are worried about the implications for their independence and their future.
We need a clearly differentiated professional logo.
This will be the "face" of our service, on letterhead and other stationary, act as a banner on websites and label any written material or audiovisual presentations we put together.
It needs to represent the following;
- We specialise in disorders of the brain or neurons
- We offer expert help and support to young people with brain disorders and their families
- We are professional, highly experienced, trustworthy and caring
- We are involved in research in this area
I have attached the MNC Logo

Battlefield 3, the long-awaited, mature-rated third installment in the popular EA series, hit shelves this week. On Xbox 360, the game ships with two discs, one containing a single-player campaign and the other containing a series of multiplayer maps. With the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is right around the corner, can Battlefield 3 stack up? Let's go to the scorecards.
The graphics
"[T]he graphics in Battlefield 3 set a new standard, even on consoles," writes Tom Price of GamePro. "The lighting is amazing, and the level of details and textures you see on characters is very impressive. But I didn't really need the constant water spots that were supposed to be on my goggles (I guess, I'm pretty sure I wasn't always wearing them) – they actually block a lot of the action."
The storyline
Battlefield 3, writes Ryan Fleming of Digital Trends, "boils down to the most generic of possible stories. It also borrows heavily from Call of Duty's campaigns over and over again. Despite the primary focus on the soldier, Sgt. Blackburne, who is being interrogated, the game shifts focus to a handful of other characters, just like CoD. It even has you chasing a Russian named Kaffarov, a name that even sounds like Makarov, one of the antagonists of the Modern Warfare series. An incident about half way through feels so extremely similar to one of the big moments in CoD 4: Modern Warfare that the big shock it's supposed to carry turns out not to be a shock at all."
The campaign, part 1
"From a battle set in the midst of a skyscraper-toppling geological event in Tehran to a mad dash through a stunningly recreated Paris en route to thwarting a nuclear explosion, there is no shortage of visual or psychological thrills," writes Chad Sapieha of the Globe and Mail, in Canada. "The globe-trotting narrative, which, similar to last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops, is presented as a series of flashbacks from the perspective of an American soldier under interrogation, takes us on terrifyingly realistic tank runs, taut sniper missions, and even a ride as a gunner in a jet in a truly marvelous sequence in which the player must frantically spin his or her avatar's head left and right to track tailing MiGs through the cockpit window while the pilot performs dizzying barrel rolls, dives, and steep climbs."
The campaign, part 2
It's a shame," writes Martin Gaston of Videogamer.com, "that DICE's concentrated attempt at storytelling – a 12-level single-player campaign – falls completely flat, demanding a poignancy and emotional engagement it simply does nothing to earn. It's a bolt-on campaign so obsessed with military maneuvers that you spend more time watching your marines preen and posture than actually fight in an engaging setup, with your comrades masking loading screens by barking their orders before kicking down doors. The attention to detail is nothing short of magnificent, but it's a real shame to see the player's role marginalized because of it."
The campaign, part 3
"Battlefield 3's campaign isn't just a straight line, it's tactically linear," writes Arthur Gies of Joystiq. "Firefights almost always unfold the same way. This is partly due to enemy AI that often seems stuck to a six foot leash from where they initially appear, but it goes deeper than that. For all the talk of destruction and immersion, Battlefield 3's campaign is a step backward from the manic calamity of Bad Company 2. There's no more blowing holes through walls to make an alternate route. Environmental destruction is cosmetic or scripted."
The multiplayer
The campaign is "a nice distraction, but what fans are really throwing down their $60 for is the multiplayer, which manages to marry modern FPS tropes (like the progressive unlocking of weapons and abilities) with the massive mixed-arms battles of previous Battlefield games," writes Ryan Winterhalter of 1UP.com. "Most maps are populated with an amazing assortment of helicopters, tanks, mobile anti-aircraft guns, and jets."
The multiplayer, part 2
"Nine maps are supplied on the disc, with almost all of them offering the wide, multi-faceted environments the Battlefield series has become famous for," writes Gaston of Videogamer.com. "Like the best multiplayer games," he adds, "Battlefield 3 sets a stage for you to create your own personal stories. You'll remember that time on Caspian Border when you and a friend accidentally stumbled onto a tank while driving a buggy, and won, or that bit when the squad got lucky and managed to gun down half the enemy team as they base jumped off Damavand Peak, and these individual stories will live on for months and years in conversations down the pub or when spending lazy weekend afternoons on message boards."
Co-op mode
"There are only six co-op stages though (compared to 23 in Modern Warfare 2) and they're only playable online, via a clumsy lobby system, not locally," writes Dan Whitehead of EuroGamer. "They're also heavily scripted, with enemies appearing in the same spots at the same points in every playthrough. That's not to say they don't have appeal, though. For one thing, vehicles get a look in during some co-op play, which gives them their own flavor. The second of the missions is helicopter-based, for example, with one player piloting and the other manning the guns as you provide air support to two marine units on the ground. When it works, it's fantastically good fun. When it doesn't, it's infuriating."
The last word
"Electronic Arts has, if not explicitly then at least implicitly, suggested that Battlefield 3 would surpass Call of Duty to become the world's pre-eminent military shooter," notes Sapieha of the Globe and Mail. "I don't think that will happen. It's online play is certainly a match for Activision's powerhouse franchise, and its distinct flavour will likely earn the game plenty of converts. However, its middling campaign keeps it from offering the kind of full package for which Call of Duty games are renowned."

Doggone Bite!
First blood was drawn in the 2011 general election campaign in the Dublin South constituency last week after an enthusiastic candidate had to be hospitalized after she got a nasty surprise when she called to one resident's doorstep.
People Before Profit member and United Left Alliance candidate Nicola Curry was leafleting for her launch meeting in Ballyogan when a dog took a chunk out of her middle finger as she was trying to put a leaflet through one letter box.
"It wasn't pleasant. I got quite a fright and one of my fingers is in quite a mess," said Curry.
"I was well taken care of in Loughlinstown Hospital though. I even got the chance to pass around a few leaflets in there, so it wasn't all in vain!
"All joking aside though, this is a bit of a warning to canvassers to be very careful when leafleting. This dog didn't make a sound, so I got no warning.
"I'd hate to see anyone else get this kind of fright so I'd like to just alert candidates and their canvassing teams to be careful."
Curry is a working mother from Ballyogan and has been active in local and national campaigns to protect the environment and defend the rights of ordinary working people.

Gold Thieves
Gardai (police) in south Meath are warning home owners of the increase in thefts of gold jewelry from houses, and believe that thieves may be selling stolen goods on to "cash for gold" stores.
They have also asked the cash for gold outlets to make sure they are aware of the origin of pieces that are being sold to them.
Garda authorities in Navan say they have already visited all the cash for gold outlets in the town and asked them to be conscious of the problem.
Superintendent Mick Devine said they had checked documentation and receipts in the stores and have warned the storekeepers they will be keeping a watchful eye on the situation.
In the Dunshaughlin area, Sergeant Paul Tennanty said there has been a noticeable increase in gold being stolen from houses. He says that other valuable items in homes are being left behind, and that the jewelry and gold are being specifically targeted.
The Garda warning comes in the wake of former Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern asking Gardai to investigate whether some businesses buying gold jewelry for cash are being run by organized crime gangs.
The move follows concerns that the exponential growth in cash for gold outlets, where gold is sold over the counter by people walking in off the streets, has made it easier for thieves to sell stolen property.
Ahern said it was clear there had been a "significant increase" in the number of cash-for-gold outlets across a large number of Irish towns and cities.
Senior Gardai expressed concern that the ease with which criminals can now sell gold jewelry and other items for high prices to legitimate businesses may be feeding the increase in burglaries taking place across the Republic.
While the informal sale or purchase of jewelry is not specifically regulated here, anybody who buys or sells items that they know to be stolen could be prosecuted, and on conviction would face up to 10 years in prison.

Lots of St. Patricks
Organizers of St. Patrick's Day activities in Kilrush are hoping that the day's festivities will be remembered for years to come.
In fact, if plans come to fruition, the town will earn a niche for itself in the Guinness World Records. Although the original St Patrick was at his peak in the fifth century, dozens of look-alikes are likely to swarm Kilrush on March 17.
Aspiring St. Patricks will have to make sure they are fairly fit, however, as they will be expected to run or walk five kilometers. Everyone who takes part will be issued with a costume. If sufficient people participate, they may help Kilrush to enter the record books.
All St. Patricks still standing after their exertions will be encouraged to take part in the parade, which will have Reeling back the Years as its theme.

Fianna Fit!
New Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin has banned breakfast fry-ups for his Fianna Fail team.
A new fatwa on frying pans has been introduced as the new leader ushers in a healthy eating regime.
The man who introduced the world's first smoking ban is calling time on smoky bacon, streaky rashers and sizzling sausages.
Staff at campaign headquarters have been gently advised that the comforting smell of the morning mixed grill is now politically incorrect -- henceforth, only political rivals may be grilled.
A senior party source disclosed the new pudding prohibition to the Evening Herald.
He indicated the stodgy stalwarts of the "full Irish" were being replaced with kiwi fruit. It's goodbye bangers, hello bananas as Breakfast Roll Man is banned.
A Fianna Fail staffer confirmed apples and oranges had replaced coffee and cigarettes as the fuel of choice for the new regime at the Grattan House campaign headquarters in Mount Street in Dublin.
A spokesman explained Martin was running a dynamic team which was operating seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
The spokesman said the new leader was "conscious of the need to keep staff working at the peak of their abilities for the duration of the campaign," and had "brought in a healthy food regime, ensuring that everyone working in the center has a balanced diet, rich in energy and protein."
For breakfast each morning the staff can choose from fresh fruit, muesli, porridge and high-fiber brown bread. Lunch consists of various salad and fruit options, while the evening meal includes chicken or fish dishes combined with pasta or rice.
One campaign worker said, "The staff have already been spending day, evening and night at the center, but many are already feeling the boost provided from this new health food regime.
"The bet going around the campaign center is who is going to lose the most weight during the course of the campaign."

Jail for Jean Theft
IT could cost almost £20,000 of public money to imprison a single mother who stole a £10 pair of jeans.
First-time offender Alison Hewitt broke down in tears last week in the dock at Londonderry Crown Court after she was sent to prison for three months for the offence.
The 27-year-old, who has a three-year-old daughter, was found guilty in December of stealing the jeans from the Supertramp store in Londonderry City Center in August 2009.
The Strabane woman turned up at court without an overnight bag or money because she expected to be ordered to complete community service.
Sentencing Hewitt, Judge Piers Grant, who said the young mother had every opportunity to admit her guilt but failed to do so, described the jeans theft as "mean, pre-meditated and brazen."
It costs £77,831 a year to house a prisoner in Northern Ireland, so it might cost taxpayers £19,457.75 to jail Hewitt for three months.
In the midst of growing condemnation at the sentence, Hewitt's jail term will be heard by the Court of Appeal. Her family, who did not know about her offense, described the sentence as "madness."
The chair of the assembly's justice committee, Lord Maurice Morrow, said there was no justification for Hewitt's crime, but he was shocked at her punishment.
"There is no doubt that a three month prison sentence is a severe punishment for a relatively minor crime, particularly given how leniently much more serious crimes have been treated in the past," he said.
Morrow has tabled assembly questions to Justice Minister David Ford to ask how many people have been sent to prison after stealing items of low value over the past five years.
The Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA said, "We need fairness, and therefore we need to establish if all those convicted of theft for items of less than £10 have received similar sentences.
Morrow said he was a "strong advocate" of jailing serious offenders, but added, "Even in a case where someone has chosen not to admit their guilt it does not justify handing out a particularly harsh sentence."

Already serving life, no more trials for Michigan's serial stabbing suspect
FLINT (AP) -- A man charged in a series of fatal stabbings in a Michigan city in 2010 will face no additional trials in the state unless his first murder conviction is overturned, a prosecutor said Friday, citing the high cost of bringing each case to court.
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said the decision was a practical one: Elias Abuelazam already is serving a life sentence without parole, and additional trials would cost "hundreds of thousands of dollars."
Abuelazam was convicted last spring of fatally stabbing a man after the Israeli native tricked him into believing he needed help with his car. Two more murder cases and six attempted murder cases were pending in Genesee County, 60 miles north of Detroit.
Those cases are now suspended. Leyton and assistant prosecutor Tamara Phillips will bring Abuelazam to trial again only if the Michigan appeals court or Supreme Court finds fault with the first murder conviction and upsets that guilty verdict.
People convicted in Michigan of first-degree murder are entitled to an appeal. Abuelazam's is in the early stages.
The agreement was signed by defense attorney Ed Zeineh and presented to a judge Friday. Abuelazam, who was transported from prison for the brief hearing, said he understood the deal.
"In the interests of justice, this is appropriate," Zeineh said in court.
Abuelazam, 36, was linked to 14 stabbings in and around Flint in summer 2010, although he was not charged in every incident. Five people died.

A petition from the campaign to
Dear Secretary Jewell and Director Ashe,
I am writing to urge that the Department of Interior's USFWS list the African lion as "Endangered Throughout its Range" under the Endangered Species Act.
Lions have disappeared from over 80% of their historic range, and their population declined by nearly 50% from just 1980 to 2002. The threats facing African lions today are numerous and reinforcing: habitat destruction and fragmentation, loss of traditional prey species, disease, and inevitable conflict with humans.
The United States can help to stop this marked decline by addressing unsustainable trophy hunting and commercial trade in lion parts. The United States is by far the world's largest importer of both commercially traded African lion parts and lion trophies. This trend is only increasing.
Protecting African lions under the U.S. Endangered Species Act would begin to curtail this trade and allow lions to recover.
Thank you for your consideration.
Endangered Species Coalition
This petition closed about 5 years ago

Once numbering over one million by some estimates, African lions now exist in a fraction of their former range and fewer than 35,000 remain in the wild.
African lions have been slipping away at an alarming rate--dropping by 50% in just 30 years--due to habitat loss, disease, loss of prey species, conflicts with humans, and unsustainable trophy hunting and trade in lion parts.
We could begin to address these threats by protecting African lions throughout their remaining range under the Endangered Species Act. The United States is the world's largest importer of lion "trophies." Protecting lions under the Endangered Species Act would put needed, strict limits on the import and sale of lion "trophies" and parts.
This crucial step towards saving African lions is a long time coming; lions are the only big cat that has yet to be granted Endangered Species Act protections.
Please ask the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect African lions under the Endangered Species Act.

Despite cellular service and navigational devices, SPOT was needed to initiate life flight for critically injured rider
March 3, 2009 – SPOT LLC today announced that the SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™ successfully notified emergency rescue authorities of a severely injured off-road motorcyclist in California's Mojave Desert. The man's condition became critical and despite cell phone service, friends at his side could not communicate their remote location to local authorities.
In January, David Cheney and friends had set off to enjoy a 100 mile motorcycle ride through the desert outside of Barstow, California. Thirty miles into the ride a fellow rider, and experienced desert racer, took a bad fall hitting his head. Some of the party rode on while others stayed behind to help.
On July 25, 2008 experienced outdoorsman Rejean Able, who was on a six week wilderness trek in Nunavik, located in the remote Ungava Peninsula of Northern Quebec, was rescued using his SPOT Satellite Messenger after a canoe accident left him stranded without supplies. As he was approaching a series of rapids, Mr. Able lost control of his canoe and capsized. Submerged with his feet caught under the seat of the canoe, he was able to free himself and swim to the embankment, but in the process lost his canoe and all off his supplies. He also lost his rifle which he had taken for protection against wolf packs known to be in the area.
Rescuers Locate Injured Man Using GPS Coordinates and Airlift Him to Nearby Hospital
September 23, 2008 – SPOT Rescue Alert (SRA): On August 22, 2008 experienced hiker and Canadian oil analyst Michael Ervin, set off to enjoy a backcountry wilderness trip to the base of Mount Assiniboine, one of the highest and most distinctive peaks in the Canadian Rockies outside of Banff. A bad fall under the weight of his forty-five pound backpack left Mr. Ervin with a ruptured quadriceps tendon to his knee, unable to put any weight on his leg and 10 kilometers from the nearest road with no cell phone coverage.
"I heard a loud snap from my leg and could see my knee cap hanging loose, lower than usual," said Michael Ervin, President of fuel-analysis firm MJ Ervin & Associates of Calgary. "I was experiencing shock and knew I was unable to walk. I needed real help and pressed the 9-1-1 button on my SPOT Satellite Messenger to notify emergency responders of my GPS location coordinates."
Snowmobile Accident Victim Rescued After SPOT Satellite Messenger Sends Distress Message and GPS Location; Wife Kept Informed and Updated on Rescue Progress
May 27, 2008 – SPOT Rescue Alert (SRA) Bill Hanson, a member of an experienced snowmobiling party out for some winter fun in the remote backcountry near Seward, Alaska, initiated a 9-1-1 rescue alert from his SPOT Satellite MessengerTM after two sleds collided head-on. Mr. Hanson's friend was badly injured as result of the collision between the two, 480 pound machines approximately 150 miles from Anchorage.
The group realized that the man needed immediate medical attention and due to the severity of his injuries, they could not transport him on their own. Twenty-five miles from the nearest road, deep in Nellie Juan Canyon and without phone or radio service, Mr. Hanson initiated a 9-1-1 rescue alert from his SPOT Satellite Messenger, a personal safety device that allows users to communicate from remote locations around the globe and initiate emergency response calls independently of cellular networks.
Capsized and Stranded Ocean Kayaker Rescued After Sending Distress Message and GPS Location Using SPOT Satellite Messenger
March 4, 2008 - SPOT Rescue Alert (SRA) Sea kayaker Derek Crook was rescued off of the west coast of Tasmania near the Pieman River after pressing the 9-1-1 button on his SPOT Satellite Messenger™. Crook, an experienced Canadian paddler, was attempting to circumnavigate Tasmania in a 36 day expedition when he was hit by rough seas near Conical Rocks and flung from his boat on a reef just off shore.

In China, the upcoming leadership transition and an apparently growing trend for violent, populist nationalism has many wondering what the future of the country will look like.
These worries are not lost on Chinese Weibo users. According to the Ministry of Tofu, after the weekend's anti-Japanese violence number of micro-bloggers compared the growing nationalism in China with the violence of the Boxer Rebellion at the turn of the 20th century, and even the rise of persecution of the Jewish in Nazi Germany.
While, thankfully, the comparison to the Nazi-era may be hyperbolic, a different comparison between China and Germany has been wheeled out several times in the last few years, although it goes a little further back.
Does 21st century China resemble the German Empire under Kaiser Wilhelm II?
On the surface, its easy to see the resemblance. First, there's economic factors — two fractured, agrarian countries racing through industrialization and urbanization to become economic giants. Then the political and geopolitical factors — unaccountable legacy leaderships with lingering territorial disputes that could turn into hotspots (the Balkans for Imperial Germany, islands in South and East China Sea for Modern China).
It's not a new comparison. In 1997, Robert Kagan was evaluating the comparison in the Weekly Standard, and a year before that article Fareed Zakria wrote in the New York Times:
What about China today? Certainly the regime in Beijing has characteristics that make it a difficult partner. The best analogy, though, is not to the Third Reich but to the Second. Like Germany in the late 19th century, China is also growing rapidly but uncertainly into a global system in which it feels it deserves more attention and honor. China's military is a powerful political player, as was the Prussian officer corps. Like Wilhelmine Germany, the Chinese regime is trying to hold onto political power even as it unleashes forces in society that make its control increasingly shaky.
How seriously should we really take the comparison, however? Reddit users have dug up a 2009 article in Asia Times from Dr. Sebastian Bruck that aimed to evaluate the comparison. The article concluded:
China and Wilhelmine Germany are odd inter-temporal twins. They share a similar domestic predicament but rather different international environments. In the case of Germany, increasing might combined with a lack of effective international deterrence and a nervous leadership meant war. In the case of China, domestic developments point toward potential conflict while the international environment calls for peace. In the years ahead, it will be up to the skillful individual leadership of Chinese and American policy-makers to tip the scales in the right direction.
In 2012, the balancing act inside China appears obvious. Many have noted that Chinese authorities seemed happy to allow anti-Japanese protests this weekend, apparently relieved to have the focus off the domestic problems and a painful leadership transition.

Serves 4
Olive oil
4 slices fresh pineapple, about 1/2-inch thick
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
1 ripe avocado, peeled and diced
Juice of 1 fresh lime
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
16 large sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
6 cups mixed greens or salad bowl or Boston lettuce
Lightly brush grill with olive oil.
Over high heat, grill pineapple slices about 3 minutes on each side, or until tender and golden brown; remove from grill. When cool enough to handle, cut away skin and hard center core; discard. Cut pineapple in small pieces.
Place mango, avocado and pineapple in a large bowl; toss with lime and lemon juices.
Remove the small crescent-shaped tough muscle from each sea scallop. Place scallops on the grill – threading scallops on a bamboo skewer can facilitate turning. Cook for about three minutes on each side.
Divide salad greens on 4 plates, top with fruits and juices and scallops. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.

PETALUMA — Petaluma police said an 11-year-old student at McKinley Elementary School is in critical condition after she ran into the side of a van Tuesday afternoon.
The girl, who is a Petaluma resident, and a friend ran across Ellis Street in front of the school around 2:52 p.m., Lt. Tim Lyons said.
The driver of the white Ford van tried to swerve to avoid hitting the girl, but she struck the side of the van and was run over, Lyons said. The other girl was not injured.
She was taken by ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and is in critical condition, Lyons said.
The van stopped, and there is no indication the male driver was speeding or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, Lyons said.
The girls were not in a marked crosswalk or under the supervision of a crossing guard, who was about 40 yards away, Lyons said.

Tips for Dinner Party Menus
March 14th 2011
When planning a dinner party, it's easy to feel overwhelmed about what you should serve. However, don't let this part of the process hinder your entertaining efforts. Keep these points in mind as you sit down to develop the menu for your next dinner party.
1) Consider the theme or the atmosphere you want to set. The menu sets the stage for the entire evening, based on the type of dishes you serve. You could aim for a traditional, home cooked meal that features classic comfort foods. You may choose to get adventurous and thrill your guests with edgy, contemporary cuisine. However, if your guests are known for having picky palates, it may not be a good idea to try to turn them into culinary connoisseurs over the course of a couple of hours.
2) Be aware of the season as it relates to the menu. If the weather is hot and muggy, heavy entrees and hot soups will not go over well. On the flip side, a cold gazpacho probably won't be as appetizing in the middle of winter. In addition, some seasons, such as fall and winter lend themselves to savory herbs and spices such as cinnamon and sage, while summer is a time to enjoy the abundance of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
3) Choose foods that match the mood of your party. As you plan, decide if the party should be a sit down event with multiple courses or an informal gathering with lots of finger foods. Another option that is always popular is the potluck dinner party, where the host provides one of two main entrees, and the guests are required to bring a side dish or dessert and a beverage.
Not only is this type of gathering a bit more economical for the host, but it also gives each guest a chance to share in the joy of being a host by cooking part of the meal.
4) Plan for children, if necessary. If there will be children in attendance, consider serving a separate, simplified menu that contains kid-friendly dishes.

A Bold Move in a Virtual Direction
I have to tell you I am very excited about a new program. The Southern California Genealogical Society, (SCGS) which hosts the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree each year, is going in a bold new direction. They have decided to supplement the Jamboree with what they are calling the Jamboree Extension Series.
The Jamboree Extension Series is a new program that provides webinars for FREE to genealogists. All you need to participate is access to the internet. The program will offer Jamboree-style seminars for up to 1000 attendees per session. The only catch is that only SCGS members will be able to access the archives to view a repeat of the program at a later date. So if you are not a member of SCGS you will have to be sure to catch the program live. The programs will be held the first Saturday and third Wednesday of each month and will run from March through December 2011.
Other organizations such as Ancestry.com and Legacy Family Tree have also offered genealogists free webinars. But this is the first time such an extensive offering is being presented and scheduled at regular intervals.
Webinars - What To Expect
A webinar is a seminar that is held over the internet. You log in through an email link onto the internet. During the presentation you will view a live slide presentation on your monitor and hear the presenter's voice, also live (so you need to make sure you have speakers). You will have the opportunity to send comments/questions via chat to the organizers/speaker. Sometimes as the end you can even ask questions with your voice using the audio function.
Why This is So Great
I am a strong supporter of webinars and virtual presentations. It is a great way to expand your genealogical knowledge without having to travel to a conference or seminar. It doesn't really take the place of an in-person conference but for those who aren't able to attend meetings it is a great alternative. I guess it sort of levels the genealogical education playing field a bit.
I am very happy to see the Southern California Genealogy Society provide this series and applaud them for being so forward thinking.
This also gives you the chance to hear my lovely Connecticut accent if you decide to tune in. Not only am I interested attending online webinars but I am also keen to present at them as well. Look for me on the schedule as a presenter on Saturday, April 2, 2011 at 10am PST / 1pm EST and Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 6pm PST / 9pm EST.
See you on the web!

I was so excited when I saw their notice yesterday. I registered for three sessions. Looking forward to my first one.ReplyDelete
Wow...it's great to see folks moving forward with this stuff. I know the SCGS is known for being fairly cutting edge, but I'm really hoping this does well so that it catches on. The more we open up educational opportunities to everyone, the better.ReplyDelete
I love the whole webinar idea. Great way to spread the love! I also loved that when I registered for the webinar it automatically allowed me to record the details onto my Outlook Calendar - very cool!ReplyDelete

Car Part World
Car Part World is a soon to be launched online national car part retailer.
Car Part World's aim is to take the hassle out of buying parts online, making it as simple and as straight forward as possible to buy the right part for your car.
With this in mind, Car Part World will be a hub site, with the parts sold through individual sites per part, e.g. Exhaust World, Brake Pad World, Wiper Blade World etc., avoiding the confusion of having just one site selling hundreds of different parts.
The target audience is the DIY motor mechanic. Their aim is to reduce their motoring costs by carrying out basic repairs and maintenance on their vehicles themselves, such as brake pad changes, oil change etc.
They will be looking for low prices, but won't be afraid of paying for quality and a brand they know and trust - they will also want to trust the business they buy their parts from. They are likely to be motoring enthusiasts by the very fact they are willing to have a go at working on their own car.
They may have a little knowledge, but will still be unsure of themselves and quickly dissuaded from making a purchase if they cannot clearly identify the part they are looking for.
The demographic is 66/34 male to female, with a predominant age range between 25 and 44.
As mentioned above, Car Part World is going to act as a hub to various component focused eCommerce sites, so we need a logo that is flexible.
The Car Part World logo will be the main company logo, but we will need to be able to adapt that logo easily to reflect the satellite sites, such as Brake Pad World, Coil Spring World, Wiper Blade World etc.
When the logo is adapted for these sites, it will need to still easily be recognisable as a Car Part World site, therefore fonts, layouts and image styles will need to be consistent, although actual images and colours can be varied to create some easy differentiation.
We have a preference for black and red in terms of colouring, however we are open to suggestions, so feel free to submit alternative designs. The text needs to be a bold and easily readable, with any imagery being equally bold and easily identifiable.
Creating brand recognition is going to be a key element for this site, so we need a distinctive logo that will allow Car Part World to be easily recognisable. The font should be clear but distinctive and the logo simple, but either element clearly identifiable as Car Part World.

Taylor Children's Community Choir
We are an educational institution that will begin offering children (Grades 3-6) a choir experience. There will be an emphasis on fun and discovery, but also on quality music and instruction, building on the success of our popular adult community choir. As one of the programs in a new educational initiative, the choir will be prominently featured in our promotional material.
We value service, growth and life-long learning. This design will represent a group of singers who share those values, and who are musically gifted, energetic and joyful.
This choir will be made up of children aged 8-12; girls and boys will be included. They will come from a wide metropolitan area, from different schools and churches and ethnic backgrounds, but we expect many of them will have an existing family connection to our institution (ie., a parent who is an alumnus or is in the adult community choir).
Many participants will come from local churches, and the choir will focus heavily on songs for Christmas and Easter (with concerts at the end of each semester), though this will be a community choir, open to the public (non-audition).
UPDATE: Please note that I have changed the color requirements -- full-color designs welcome, but design must also work as a 1-3 color design (for embroidery, hot-stamping, etc.).
Winning design must be submitted as a vector image (.eps, .ai, or .cdr), unlimited colors but must also work as a version with limited color (greyscale or 2-3 colors), and must be suitable for reproduction in print, online and on apparel (such as t-shirts for choir members).
The main element of the winning design should be the name of the choir; the lettering should have a fresh, modern feel (not too heavy, too flowery or too difficult to read), and certainly not childish. Submissions must be free of any copyright or third-party issues.
Our main institutional color is Pantone 661C, and we may opt to use our main wordmark ("TAYLOR") as part of this; depending on submissions received, we may decide to use our official wordmark ("TAYLOR") as part of the final logo, so you may submit a design that uses only the text "Children's Community Choir" if you wish.
See the TAYLOR wordmark here:

This guide will help update your version of the ALSA modules under Debian 4.0. This is useful for people who's sound is not currently working with their current version of ALSA. We will be covering the installation of the the latest stable drivers, the latest development and the CVS ALSA modules.
We will be using 'nano' as our text editor of choice but you can use whatever you wish.
While this guide is mainly focused to laptop users there isn't any difference for desktop users.
You should run a full update for your installation of Ubuntu to ensure you have all the latest packages installed.
Depending on your sound controller you will need to make the decision on which version of ALSA you will need to install. If you are not sure you should start with the stable drivers. If the stable drivers don't work you can then move on to the development driver and then if necessary move on to the CVS driver.
The stable drivers have received the most testing and are the recommended drivers to use if they support your sound controller. The development drivers haven't been tested as much as the stable ones have but still typically work well. The CVS drivers are up to date drivers with the latest developments however this means that this version have barely been tested so should only be used if absolutely necessary.
Here are the steps to installing the ALSA modules:
1. Download your chosen set of drivers from http://www.alsa-project.org for the stable and development drivers and from http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/ for the latest CVS drivers. In this guide we are going to use alsa-driver-1.0.15 as at the time of writing these are the latest stable drivers. You just need to substitute your driver version with the version used here. You only need to download the alsa-driver package, the other packages (alsa-lib, alsa-utils etc.) are not necessary.
2. Load up a terminal window if you are in the graphic interface.
3. Type in the following commands to install gcc and the kernel headers:
apt-get install build-essential module-assistant m-a update m-a prepare
4. Move to the /usr/src/ folder with:
cd /usr/src
5. Extract the contents of the file you downloaded with:
tar -xjvf /path/to/alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2
Remember to replace the "/path/to" in this command to the path of where your file is.
6. Move into the newly created folder with
cd alsa-driver-1.0.15
7. Run the configuration script with:
8. Now start the building process with:
This will take a while.
9. And finally we install these drivers with:
make install
10. Reboot your computer and the newer ALSA modules will be used.
Remember that you may need to adjust your volume settings.

Pride and Prejudice project
Researching items with an LGBT connection in our urban history and art collections.
Also in this section…?
Photograph by Ken Walker. Courtesy of April Ashley
Born in Liverpool in 1935, April Ashley MBE, a former Vogue model and actress was one of the first people in the world to undergo pioneering gender reassignment surgery. As one of the most famous transgender individuals and a tireless campaigner for transgender equality, she is an icon and inspiration to many.
In this former exhibition, for the first time, we explored April's very public story through her previously unseen private archive and investigated the wider impact of changing social and legal conditions for all trans* and lesbian, gay and bisexual people from 1935 to today.
Alongside this, members of the trans and gender diverse communities also shared their own remarkable life stories.
A collaborative project between the Museum of Liverpool and Homotopia - the international festival of queer arts and culture.
This exhibition was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. It was launched as a key part of Homotopia's 10th anniversary in 2013.

For years Rembrandt's paintings have been the subject of many exhibitions and publications and a specific focus of technical research, which has produced an extensive and wide-ranging body of information and documentation. This material is preserved in various museums, research institutes, archives and laboratories around the world. The documentation is generally difficult to access, still unavailable in digital form, and not yet organized as a coherent and interrelated body of material.
The Rembrandt Database is a sustainable repository of existing information and documentation that is made available in a technologically advanced way. This service does not aim to replace the study of original objects or consultation among colleagues, but rather to speed up and facilitate research.
For more information and to explore the database, view the website.
