This Week in Patristics Delayed...Again
The good news is that the school year is done and not only can I get back to regular TWP's, but I may even manage a few substantive posts of my own. Stay tuned!
Sunday, June 19, 2011
This Week in Patristics June 12th to 18th, 2011
Joe Heschmeyer on the Shameless Popery blog, in part of a post discussing why Protestants become Catholic, notes the historical Evangelical avoidance of the Church Fathers and the impact that the Fathers have on many Evangelicals. Interesting notes about the historical blindness of Evangelicals (clear to anyone who visits a Christian bookstore run by Evangelicals- very little history or even high end theology. It just doesn't sell), but one wonders what to do with the admittedly modest Evangelical Resourcement which has been going on for almost ten years.
Alin Suciu on his self-named blog discusses Coptic fragments of Isaiah of Sketis and a fragment of St. John Chrysothom's Homilies on Romans which gives the apocryphal names of the two thieves crucified with Jesus.
mjhoskin on the pocket scroll blog picks up a comment in the May 30th-June 4th TWP about next steps after introductions to patristics and discusses his recommendations. He also discusses the Roman Catholic ressourcement, beginning from the 1920s, and the monastic resourcement. Both give an excellent review of the scholarship which came out of these ressourcements.
Roger Pearse on his self-named blog discusses manuscripts at Rodosto which included a copy of Eusbeius' treatise against Porphyry with a follow-up discussion on the fate of these manuscripts and his concerns about the authenticity of these manuscripts, a reference to Theodoret in St. John of Damascus, and St. Ambrose's mentions of the cult of Mithras,
Kevin Edgecomb on the biblicalia blog discusses the importance of canonicity (here, the rule of faith) against the 'quest for the historical Jesus'.
Rod (of Alexandria) on the Political Jesus blog discusses
Cynthia on the per caritatem blog discusses St. Augustine's political activism as suggested by his letters in two parts (part one, part two). Thanks, Rod for pointing this one out!
That is all for this week. I hope you enjoyed the entries and keep them coming!
Sunday, June 12, 2011
This Week in Patristics June 5th-11th, 2011
David Bates on the Restless Pilgrim blog draws parallels between the death of Jesus and the martyrdom of Polycarp.
Alan Suciu on his self-named blog considers a new witness to St. Macarius of Egypt's Spiritual Homilies and more Coptic fragments of Ephrem Graecus.
Roger Pearse on his self-named blog lists the presentations on Eusebius of Caesarea from the last three years of SBL conferences.
Kevin Edgecomb on the biblicalia blog considers the rule of faith and canonicity from an Orthodox perspective.
Rod of Alexandria on the Political Jesus blog considers Elizabeth Johnson's book, The Quest for the Living God as akin to St. Athanasius' work. Since I haven't rad Elizabeth's Johnson's book, I'm not sure I get that, but when has that stopped me from posting.
That is it for this week. See you next week!
Monday, June 06, 2011
This Week in Patristics May 30-June 4th, 2011
Here is this week's TWP. Enjoy the entries!
Jimmy Atkin on his self-named blog directs us to a Facebook group for his book on the Fathers, Fathers Know Best. I haven't read the book, but it is good to see another introduction out there. It does make me wonder what the next step is, now that we have so many competant introductions. He asks how long it took for the Gospels to spread.
Nick Norelli on the Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth blog reviews a collection of essays edited by Bradley G. Green, The Shapers of Christian Orthodoxy. Engaging Early and Mediaeval Theologians
Charles Ellwood Jones on the Ancient World Online blog allerts us to EDENDA, a project for editing the Latin Church Fathers.
Kelly Gerald on the Bryn Mawr Classical Review blog reviews a collection of essays, edited by Immo Dunderburg, on Stoicism in Early Christianity.
Joel on the Unsettled Christianity blog nominates the Council of Nicaea as one of the ten Most Shameful Events in Christian History. Funny, I'm rather partial to that particular Council. Besides, when you think about the rest of the Councils, ecumenical and not, Nicaea was a walk in the park.
John Bugay on the Triablogue blog considers the early papacy in a series of rather polemical articles including linking the papacy to Roman Emperor worship, discussing the views of St Optatus on 'real substance' and the papacy, discussing how critical scholarship dismisses the idea of an early papacy. I didn't link to all the entries on this topic because many dealt with contemporary theology around the papacy. He, also, questions uncritical readings of the Fathers which deny that they disagreed and were sometimes wrong.
Bryan Cross on the Called to Communion blog considers St. Optatus' treatise against Donatists, arguing that the pre-Donatist church was one church united under the Bishop of Rome. Hence, Protestants are in a state of ecclesial deism as they continue their independence from the Pope.
That's it for now. See you next week!

Spring Fair!
- 29 Aug 2016
- By SPadmin
In just a few short weeks, our Spring Fair will be upon us and I'm certainly looking forward to a wonderful day of connection and community as our students enjoy the many and varied opportunities throughout the day. I thank our parent community in advance for your generosity and attendance on the day. Our P&F run this event as the single largest fundraiser in the schools calendar. This allows a further expansion of resources in the school, of which we may not be able to offer without this fundraising.
Our rides throughout the day are a highlight for our students. Can I encourage you to purchase your arm bands early through one of the following links: www.trybooking.com/MFXK
www.trybooking.com/214900 or by coming into the School Office and paying electronically. This allows the financial commitment of the day to be covered early, and for our organisers to make informed decisions about the day.
Booklets and order forms have gone home. Please do plan on being there and enjoying the great sense of community we are known for. Our parents are such an important part of our school community and we look forward to engaging with you throughout our Spring Fair.

Am I still a little?
by, 22-Jun-2014 at 04:44 (510 Views)
I was just wondering because I saw someone mention somewhere, i won't say names, that if you don't regress... you can't really consider yourself AB or a little. I identify most with being a little because I act well... little. I don't regress to a little state or anything of that nature at all. It's mostly because of disability reasons and stuff like that.
It just got me thinking and wondering if I really am a little or not. D: I mean I feel like I can adjust will to my little side a lot, yet I don't really have any need to regress in order to feel little. I just... am.

In response to my recent post regarding Nobel Prizes, a commenter suggested that comparing the number of winners of the Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research who had gone on to receive a Nobel Prize with the number of winners of the Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research who had done so would be one way to quantity any bias toward basic science in the Nobel Prizes. This seemed like a reasonable suggestion so I tallied the numbers for these categories.
Since 1960, 100 individuals have won or shared the Lasker Award in Clinical Medical Research. Of these 6 have gone on to receive Nobel Prizes (including Youyou Tu this year). 121 individual have won or shared the Lasker Award in Basic Medical Research over the same period. Of these 58 have gone on to win a Nobel! Needless to say, this is statistically significant with p < .00000000001.
This clearly reflects a bias favoring basic research although there are some additional factors affecting these numbers such as that approximately a third of the Lasker Basic Medical Research awardees have gone on to win Nobels in Chemistry rather than Physiology or Medicine. There may be more tomorrow morning.

TOKYO -- Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu scored a lightning year-end victory over his governing party's political bosses yesterday by suddenly giving them a Cabinet reshuffling they had long demanded but by doing it on virtually his own terms.
Japanese newspapers credited Mr. Kaifu with swiftly turning a brewing new political-money scandal into an unexpected chance to resist mounting demands by party bosses that he restore to power old faces that had been dirtied by the Recruit stock-for-favors affair of the preceding two years.
He also retained the holders of the key policy and political positions -- the foreign and finance ministers and the party secretary-general -- thereby assuring a continuity that he insisted was essential in increasingly difficult economic and diplomatic times, especially in political and economic relations with the United States and Europe.

Gold Diggers slot - Free Play - Game Review
Play Gold Diggers slot game for a chance to have fun, mine gold, and get rich. It's a very lucrative non-progressive game with five reels, thirty pay-lines, great graphics and bonus features.
Gold Diggers slot revolves around mining gold and has a catchy theme song to remind players of the Californian Gold Rush period. In this game, two brothers are making a living underground by digging for gold.
It has an interesting twist where the two brothers are after the affection of a stunning blonde girl who has her own gold digging mission. You task is to search for gold amidst the sweat and dynamite blasts to earn rewards.
You will see great animations in the game, including icicle droplets falling from rocks and miners jumping out in excitement when you hit a winning combination.
For the betting options, the game has coin values from 0.02 to 0.50. It's an affordable game for low betters as the maximum bet for all lines is €3 for each spin.
You would put 125 credits as the maximum bet value when playing with 5 credits on each line. You will earn the highest amount of 500 credits for each coin if you get 5 Bearded Miner symbols to land across the reels.
Symbols and Features:
The symbols include a pick ace, the famous oil barrel, dynamite, beaver, lantern, and mining cart with golden nuggets. The beautiful lady and the two brothers will appear on the reels as well.
For special features, the Gold Diggers slot has a lot including scatters and bonus plays. The bonus features are lucrative and will offer you some great payouts. They include a second-screen game and a click-me game.
The second-screen bonus will start when three advertisement symbols land on the reels. You will be taken to another screen to unveil credits which are hidden underneath three digging spots.
Lastly, if you get three or more dynamite symbols an explosion will occur and the symbols above will fall in place. The Gopher a Dick is the click-me bonus feature and it will start when three beaver symbols appear.

What Does Islam & Quran Says About Adultery Or Zina?
My son will likely be born in late-June 2009. In retrospect, the most effective time for I and his mother to have began saving for his faculty fund was in all probability in June 2006. Master Examination or Intermediate Exam requires a Grasp's diploma in from an accredited faculty with no experience required. This exposure started to reprogram my considering with reference to cash and what my potential actually was. Till that point, I never considered such a life because I had never seen it or experienced it. It's hard to create a taste for one thing you could have by no means seen or felt.
It's a tricky cycle to break as cocoa beans produced by slaves are hard to detect. As soon as the farmer gives his items to the intermediary to sell, the beans are taken to a warehouse and mixed with beans produced by paid employees. At this stage companies play the blame sport by stating they have no method of detecting which beans are from slave free farms. If we refuse to make use of all cocoa then farmers can be under extra strain which might result in extra cases of kid slavery.
Many pastry cooks research in France, home to a variety of the most nicely-identified pastry chefs in the world. Desserts are taken quite severely in French civilization, and the country is taken into account the capital of good pastries or les pâtisseries good. Some college students who're keen on being pastry cooks are motivated by the late Gaston Lenôtre and register in the school he based in Paris. He invented the concept of upscale bakeries which promote pastries, however resisted the idea of mass-producing desserts.

Digital projects are complex.
Digital projects, they come in all shapes and forms:
- Renewing your corporate website?
- Building a campaign micro-site?
- Bringing your web assets together through a migration?
- Integrating various of your systems?
- Working on a native app?
Although the context of these scenarios is very different, they have two main phases in common: planning & execution. And while opinions on this differ, we believe they're equally important. Also, you can't fix mistakes made in one phase in another.
You might be tired of hearing the phrase "fail to plan is planning a failure", but that doesn't make it less true. In digital project planning, we typically need to resolve two areas: project definition & project approach.
Project Definition
We help our clients to define their project by asking the following questions:
- What are the objectives of our project?
- Who is our target audience?
- What are the available resources?
- What are our messages, branding; content strategy & design principles that we need to take into account?
- What are the technical requirements will help us reach these objectives and will relate to our audience?
- What are the content requirements?
In order to speed up project definition, Smart Content can conduct stakeholder interviews, team workshops, user research, etc. Alternatively, we can also provide training and mentoring to the product owner to lead this phase.
Project Approach
Finding the right project approach should be decided in parallel with project definition. In a similar fashion as during definition, we provide consultancy and mentoring to help answer the following questions:
- What's our implementation plan?
- What project management methodology will we use?
- Who should be on our project team?
- What are the roles and responsibilities of each of the members?
- How and how often will we measure progress of the project?
Project Execution
With all the building blocks in place after the planning stage, it's time to start building. But surprise surprise... projects never get executed as planned on paper. There are always unknowns appearing throughout the process. In order for your project to progress according to plan, Smart provides help in the form of:
- Active day to day project management
- Project consultancy
- Vendor selection for design, development & hosting

United States Mens National Team Captain and Seattle Sounders FC forward Clint Dempsey was voted Major League Soccer Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) for Week 5 of the 2014 MLS season.
Seattle Sounders FC where trailing I-5 rival Portland Timbers 4-2 in the 85 minute when Dempsey collected a pass from league leading assist man Obafemi Martins and promptly slotted the ball in the back of the Portland Timbers net.
Dempsey accomplished his first-career MLS hat trick in the 87th minute when he converted a penalty kick to tie the game at 4-4, completing Seattle's comeback road draw in the opening match of the 2014 Cascadia Cup.
" Goals are good but what's more important is wins and points Dempsey said after Saturdays game with the Portland Timbers.
The award marks the first for a Seattle Sounders FC player this season and first since Obafemi Martins earned the honors in Week 29 of the 2013 MLS season.
Seattle Sounders FC visits FC Dallas on April 12. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. PT at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

Thom, you are funniest bloger on internet
Here's why:
"HP Launches TouchPad - for the Lucky Few
Anywho, pricing is looking pretty good: $499 for the 16GB model"
and than, next day, about iPad price:
"I bought the cheapest possible iPad 2 - 16GB, wifi, black, €479, plus the Smart Cover for €39. That's one heck of a _lot of money_"
can you explain this ???
... beside:
"Another thing you notice is just how fast and responsive the device really is. There's no lag, no waiting, no stuttering - everything is fluid and quick."
>>> C:\NGRTLNS.THM - welcome to POST PC world (never is too late ) ) ! ! ! <<<
did you USE first iPad? "I guess it takes a dual-core processor to really make iOS fly." - for first iPad is same: "everything is fluid and quick. "
so better grab Apple products as soon as possible otherwise "Future of Computing" will pass by you
Edited 2011-06-11 14:15 UTC
Sure. Looking at tablets, the sweet spot for the cheapest models seems to be 500. So, if a new tablet comes out, and it's priced at 500 - it's looking good. However, that doesn't change the fact that sweet spot or no, it's still one heck of a lot of money.
This really isn't rocket science.

Srinagar: Two suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba militants, allegedly involved in a grenade attack on a tourist cab in July, were killed and three security personnel, including two Army officers, injured in a fierce gun-battle in Pulwama district of South Kashmir on Friday, police said.
Seven civilians were also injured as security forces opened fire to chase away stone-pelting protestors while evacuating the injured colleagues from the gun-battle site, police said.
Deputy Inspector General of police, South Kashmir, Vijay Kumar said the encounter between militants and security forces took place at Asthan Mohalla near village Bubgam in Pulwama town, 32 km from here.
Police along with Rashtriya Rifles and CRPF launched a search operation after receiving information about the presence of militants in the area in the wee hours today, the officer said, adding, two hiding militants opened fire and were killed in the ensuing gun-battle lasting several hours.
He said an Army Major, a Captain and a policeman were injured in the encounter.
Kumar identified the slain militants as Imtiyaz Ahmed Teli alias "Fahadullah Kashmiri" and Mohammad Aamir Bhat alias "Khalid and Khursheed" and added that they were involved in the grenade attack on a tourist cab in Bijbehara on the Srinagar-Jammu national highway in which four women tourists were killed in July this year.
"As per initial investigation, Teli was also involved in a grenade attack at Narwal area of Jammu in November in which one person had died and five others were injured," he said.
Kumar said when the Army Major was being evacuated for treatment, a mob attacked the ambulance in Pulwama town by hurling stones.
"In the retaliatory action seven persons were injured," he said, adding, while six of the injured have been admitted in SMHS hospital, another was undergoing treatment at Bone and Joints Hospital here.
A policeman also received injuries after he was hit by a stone during the incident.

Printer-Friendly Version
Case #208-Douglas Hamel, Map 2 Lot 41-3, seeking Appeal From An Administrative Decision of the Building Inspector to Article III, Section L. subsection II for the expiration of a building permit.
Members Present: Edward Meehan, Chairman; Stephen MacCleery, ex-offico; Mark McIntosh, Vice Chairman; David Dobson; Tom Wainwright.
Mr. Hamel feels that the building permit process may be flawed as it puts the local person that wants to sell a lot at a disadvantage. The original ordinance, when passed, made sense at the time. Limitations were put on the building permit so buildings would be finished exteriorly within 18 months. Mr. Hamel went through his expense history pertaining to his property and permits.
Through the process of subdivision in 2003 and the approval for construction for the septic system in 2004, a building permit was obtained on 5/26/05. He doesn't want to build a house on this lot himself, but wants to be able to sell it with an acquired building permit. The permit is limited to 1 year but you can get an extension. All of his extensions have expired and the permit is no longer valid. He now has to wait until 2009 to get on the list for another permit. He does not feel that the building inspector made a mistake, just that the ordinance is flawed.
One buyer was interested in the lot but it didn't work out. The real estate market isn't what it used to be and he can't sell it fast enough. He can't sell it for what it's worth because it now doesn't have a building permit. He has already spent 1.5 years on the list to get a permit. The permit expired on 12/31/06.
Mr. Hamel feels that the way the ordinance is written there is no provision made for the person who just wants to sell a lot without a building permit.
The BOA pointed out that because of the growth ordinance there is a waiting period. Now he would have to wait another 2 years in order to get on the list again, but it has to be fair for all. Everyone else has to do the same thing.
Also, a permit is not necessary for the sale of the lot. There was a valid permit for 18 months which wasn't used.
Mr. Hamel would be able to ask for his impact fees back if the permit isn't reinstated.
According to the Building Regulations you have 6 months to start your project and then have 18 months to finish it.
The BOA has the power to authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variance from the terms of the zoning ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest, if, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the ordinance shall be observed and substantially justice done.
When an appeal is made to the BOA under this provision, the board must apply the strict letter of the law in exactly the same way that a building inspector must. It cannot alter the ordinance and map or waive any restrictions under the guise of interpreting the law.
An appeal cannot be granted if the BOA feels the building inspector made the correct decision, which it does.
Steve MacCleery moved to deny the Appeal From Administrative Decision of the Building Inspector to Article III, Section L. for Map 2 Lot 41-3 because the BOA feels the Building Inspector did not err in his interpretation of the Town of Chichester's Building Regulations reference #5. d. 1&2, and #6. Tom Wainwright seconded.
David Dobson – Yes
Mark McIntosh – Yes
Edward Meehan – Yes
Steve MacCleery – Yes
Tom Wainwright – Yes
Motion carries 5-0. Request is denied.
Respectfully submitted,

Barbara Kingsolver never disappoints, 'Pigs in Heaven' is no exception to this literary 'rule.' The novel is a essentially a sequel to the earlier 'The Bean Trees,' where a child is deposited on the front seat of a Taylor Greer's Volkswagen in Oklahoma, close to a Cherokee reservation, by a Native American who immediately disappears. Taylor essentially keeps driving until her car breaks down in 1000 kilometres away in Arizona.
Roll the lives on three years from 'The Bean Trees' and, at a visit to the Hoover Dam, the 'daughter' who Taylor names Turtle due to her grip, notices someone fall into a drainage channel. A man with learning disabilities is eventually rescued and mother and 'daughter' appear on 'Oprah' as a result. One of the viewers is a lawyer from the Cherokee Nation who notices a Native American daughter with a mother that appeared not to be. The lawyer starts to dig a little deeper and Taylor, worried that she might lose Turtle, flees. A poverty-stricken road trip with cheap motels and worse jobs ensues which eventually ends up back at the Native American reserve at Heaven, Oklahoma.
Don't expect a fast moving plot, it isn't Kingsolver's style – the narrative is subtle, thoughtful and thought-provoking; the real power of the writing lies in the warmth and depth of the characters, mostly women, women who have been left or have had to leave:
Women on their own run in Alice's family. This dawns on her with the unkindness of a heart attack and she sits up in bed to get a closer look at her thoughts, which have collected above her in the dark.
There are men, but they are flawed and almost incidental to the plot:
She married him two years ago for love, or so she thought, and he's a good enough man but a devotee of household silence. His idea of marriage is to spray WD-40 on anything that squeaks. … The quiet only subsides when Harland sleeps and his tonsils make up for lost time.
The final denouement is possibly a little contrived and leaves perhaps too many loose ends – it was probably deliberate, life doesn't always have tidy endings, novels shouldn't either. Perhaps part of the reasoning may have been leaving the door just slightly ajar, to allow the potential for developing the characters elsewhere.

'If we die, we die' Daredevil teens hang off speeding train in shock videos
A GIRL stripped down to her underwear as she risked her life hanging off a speeding train.
Jaw-dropping footage shows her in nothing but a bra, pants and trainers clinging to the moving locomotive.
It's just one of a number of nerve-racking stunts from an Aussie daredevil group calling itself the Sky High Idiots.
And they're defiant towards their critics, sharing critical articles on social media and insisting they're free to risk their lives.
"Our parents aren't really too thrilled about it but it's not going to stop us"Sky High Idiots
On Instagram they've posted multiple videos of members clinging to moving trains in the Australian city of Melbourne, Victoria.
It's illegal and as teenagers they face a $78 (£47) fine if caught – but the group posts videos taunting #catchusifyoucan.
It claims: "We've all accepted that everyone's going to die one day there's no reason to be concerned about it".
One group member talked to 9News after another video showed a teen riding the roof of a train in a tunnel.
"It's completely our decision and if we want to risk our lives doing that then it's what we're going to do," they said.
"(Our) parents aren't really too thrilled about it but it's not going to stop us."
The group, which obscures members' identities with masks, is now being investigated by police.
Aussie news site news.com.au reports that three teens have died in the last four years while riding the outside of the trains.

Harbourfront View of ICE Condo and Waterclub Condos
Here is a view from Harbourfront of the ICE Condo and the Waterclub Condos. ICE Condos being developed by Lanterra, is the tallest condo currently under construction in Southcore/Harbourfront Area. It is located next to the Air Canada Centre and Skydome, on the Bremner Entertainment Boulvard. The last stage of the project will be an Office Tower called 16 York currently in pre-sales at Cadillac Fairview.
The Harbourfront is also undergoing a major facelift, with new Streetcar tracks, new Streetcards, and a grand pedestrian focused street, that will bring Toronto Closer to the lake. This has long been a dream of city planners as the railway and Gardiner Expressway have long seperated the core of the downtown from the Lake Ontario Shore.
Cooling Housing Market Seen As Healthy for Toronto Condos
As sales have declined from the historic highs of 2011, which as I have repeated on this blog was a record year for home and condo sales. So there was likely to be some pull back this year, and of course the doomsayers will jump on this as the Apocalypse heading our way. Read More

LATEST MILESTONE A RESULT OF PAINSTAKING PREPARATION3 August 2017
Light rail construction has reached an exciting milestone with crews now occupying the last of the 31 work zones along the 12km route.
Work began in Zone 14 on Friday 28 July and to allow for construction, Chalmers Street is now closed to general traffic between Devonshire Street and Eddy Avenue, with traffic being diverted via Randle and Elizabeth Streets.
Occupying a new zone is no mean feat, with meticulous planning and thorough preparation work taking place behind the scenes well before the hoardings go up, Steve Issa, Sydney Coordination Office Executive Director Planning and Operations said.
"The first signs of construction in a zone are actually the culmination of many months of painstaking planning, investigation and engagement work by an expert team," he said.
"It's not a step we take lightly and our commitment to making this process as easy on the community as possible drives our thorough planning in the early stages."
Detailed site preparation work is carried out before the major installation stage can begin to ensure the whole process runs as smoothly as possible.
Depending on the location, this can include: substation construction, heritage investigations, vegetation work, excavation and ground stabilisation work, asphalting, relocating footpaths and pedestrian crossings, line marking, removing median strips, kerb and gutter work, sheet piling, traffic signal relocation and rail delivery.
"Every zone is different and presents its own unique challenges, so the type and scope of work needed can vary greatly from site to site," Mr Issa said.
"We also have a range of important factors to consider every time we carry out a piece of work, with the impact on the community and any potential flow-on effects at the top of our minds."
Utility investigations are also carried out before installation kicks off in a new zone to ensure crews are armed with as much information as possible about what might be located under the road and pavement surfaces.
Although these exhaustive investigations, including surveying, mapping, potholing and trenching, provide a detailed view of what lies beneath, at times re-design is needed once the road surface is removed, Mr Issa said.
"We always do our homework to ensure we're across all the available information before digging starts, but on occasion we have come up against unmarked utilities or incorrect diagrams," he said.
"These discoveries can be challenging and it means we have to go back and re-examine our planning for the area and make adjustments."
Safety is our top priority and installing temporary barriers, fencing and hoardings and lane closures is also vital for protecting the community and work crews.
Each zone has had unique features crews have had to work around prior to construction starting.
In Zone 14, which takes in Chalmers Street adjacent to Central Station, a huge amount of work has been carried out in the lead up to prepare for new major traffic arrangements in Surry Hills. This includes reconfiguration of the traffic islands, lane markings, signals and signage.
Elizabeth Street becomes a two-way road between Foveaux Street and Cooper Street, and Randle Street traffic has been reversed from southbound to northbound flow.
Pedestrians are urged to take extra care in the area, stay off phones and other devices while crossing and to only cross at pedestrian lights or zebra crossings.
A new campaign is also targeting pedestrians to ensure they are not complacent with their safety or the safety of others.
The campaign will include station announcements, footpath decals and geo-targeted mobile notifications pushed to pedestrians around the intersection to make sure they stop and look both ways before stepping out to cross the street.
Now that work is underway in all construction zones, the project continues to build momentum with almost 9 kilometres of track installed. This month also saw the arrival of the first of a brand new fleet of vehicles for the new light rail, with testing to begin along part of the track later this year.

dear friends: i had to delete the previous version of this post because something happened and it did not upload properly.
i have been on a bit of a blog hiatus. so here i am, attempting to squish two months into one post. do not be fooled: i have been keeping up with my challenges and am really excited to tell you about what i am doing for july!
may brought about some fun experiments. not only did i stop shampooing my hair for 6 weeks, i also made a slew of DIY products! my hair cleaning adventure did not last very long…..have you heard about the shampoo free method? you use 1 tbsp of baking soda to one cup of water for shampoo and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to one cup of water. i put both concoctions in spray bottles and kept them in the shower. they say that your hair will get use to not being shampooed, but mine totally didn't. it was greasy. i did have good hair days, but the bad ones made me miss having nice clean hair. i probably won't do that again!
i also found myself making my own deodorant, powdered laundry detergent, hand soap (fail!), fabric softner, and reusable dryer sheets. Except for the hand soap, I will definitely continue to make and use these!!!
my june challenge was a yoga challenge. my brother and i took a class together which was so fun! i also kick started my challenge by going to a yoga retreat with my friend carly. we had a blast! (yoga photo cred goes to www.jodygoodwinphotography.com). i really enjoyed going to the yoga studio a few times a week. i always left feeling so refreshed and energized!
and just because i love sharing what i'm doing in my kitchen, here are a few photos of some delicious treats that came out of my kitchen in may:
on a sidenote….my husband and i celebrated 5 years together on july 1st! i love this man!

memories of my hallucinogenic youth, part 1
Apparently the Swirlspice drink has the same effect as pot, because I'm listening to Pink Floyd.
I once listened to Shine on you Crazy Diamond for three hours straight. I sat on a beanbag chair - no, melted into the beanbag chair - at Mary Anne's house and stared into space that whole time. I think I had an out of body experience.
Perhaps my spirit was just sick of the song and decided to take off in search of a better music selection.
I wonder if it ever came back.

Celebrity chef and restaurateur Marc Murphy is on the front lines of an alarming New York economic trend.
Some of his food is prepared — more than 50 pounds at a time — expressly for the expanding ranks of New York's hungry.
In a seeming paradox, the more the official unemployment rate has dropped lately, the greater the rise in local hunger.
In July, New York City's unemployment rate held firm at 8.7 percent — down from 9.4 percent a year ago.
Yet the average demand for emergency food assistance, by one measure in New York, skyrocketed by 5 percent in the same period.
Clearly, as some experts have noted, the rate does not account for the many thousands of New Yorkers presumed to have left the work force, who have exhausted their benefits, or who can't make ends meet on lower paychecks.
"You can invite [skeptics] to a food pantry or two, and they'll see it immediately," said Murphy, owner of the popular Landmarc and Ditch Plains restaurants.
Murphy and other local restaurateurs are responding by donating mountains of food to charities like City Harvest for distribution to local food programs.
"There's no tax write-off for me," he said. "We're just helping them out."
City Harvest estimates that 3.7 million pounds of donated food annually is now coming directly from operators like Murphy. All told, City Harvest will collect some 30 million pounds of donated food this year, feeding more than 300,000 hungry New Yorkers weekly.
"It's the right thing to do," Murphy said of his efforts.

Just as a disclaimer: I have no intention of embracing 100 days of totally unprocessed food! However, the 100 Days of Real Food website has a wealth of great information, including the guidelines for a 10-day Real Food Challenge. We have houseguests right now, but after their departure, I plan to try the 10-day challenge, just to shake up our habits a bit and give me the extra kick in the pants to look for alternatives to the few highly processed foods that we eat.
This challenge adheres to most of the nutritional ideas that I think are most important; it's heavily based on the writings of Michael Pollan. Essentially, you eat what you can make yourself. If you buy convenience foods, you avoid the highly-processed ones and look for those that have few (and recognizable) ingredients. She emphasizes local foods, too, which I think is a nice ideal but not necessary for good health. If you can do it, great.
The best parts of the site, though, are the sections with recipes and meal plans and the list of "mini-pledges"–small steps you can take, either permanently or temporarily, to improve the healthfulness and sustainability of your diet. Check it out and get some ideas!
Finally, one last word about this: I think that it can be inspiring to read this kind of thing, but don't get discouraged if it's not totally for you. You don't have to embrace the whole set of rules to make your diet better. I know that we're very unlikely to give up flavored yogurt in this house, for example. It does have some sugar in it, but my kids love it and it's high in protein. We just buy the healthiest kind we can find and limit it to a cup a day. If there are things in your life you're not willing to give up, just find the ideas on the site that DO work for you.

Africa has Great Expectations from Rio+20, Says AfDB President
The outcome of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, or Rio+20, currently taking place in Rio de Janeiro, is centrally important for the future of Africa, said the president of the African Development Bank, Donald Kaberuka.
Speaking at a High Level Round Table on implementing the expected outcomes of Rio+20 on 20 June, Mr Kaberuka said: "I join African leaders who spoke before me in welcoming the outcome of this Summit."
He pointed out that: "Today, twenty years ago, a bold vision was spelt out and a clear road map agreed upon. Today, twenty years after, at a time of global economic stress, that agenda is now even more urgent than ever. And none have a bigger stake than the low income countries."
He went on to say that, while Africa has lately seen strong economic growth and a significant improvement in human development indicators, "the journey remains long in making a lasting dent on poverty. You will understand therefore why Africa's expectations in the Summit are high."
The sustainability of Africa's recent economic achievements, said Mr Kaberuka, was under threat from serious global economic crises. Therefore, he said, "the focus of this conference on the triple agenda of economic, social and ecological sustainability is central to our continent's future development strategy."
The AfDB will play its role in the process, said Mr Kaberuka. "On its part, the African Development Bank, within its mandate, and in the light of the outcome of this Summit will continue and deepen its role as financier, partner and advisor to African countries in fostering inclusive development which provides hope and opportunities for its people, and in particular, its youth."
He continued: "We will focus on sustainable energy solutions and infrastructure, food security, building resilience, national inclusive green growth and climate adaptation plans as well as valuation of natural capital."

Jeremy Clarkson is struck down with serious pneumonia.
Jeremy Clarkson 57 was enjoying the family vacations on the Spanish island when he suddenly got medically ill.
According to the representative for Clarkson's Amazon Prime show, "The Grand Tour" said in a written proclamation that Clarkson "was admitted to hospital on Friday morning during a family holiday in Spain."
He posted an Instagram picture showing tubes in his arm and his patient identity tag around his wrist with the slogan, "Not the sort of bangles I usually choose on holiday."
Jeremy Clarkson himself said that his illness seems to be a serious one, as he is presently in a wheelchair. It seems as though the adored petrol head will be out of charge for quite some time. At least Jezza hasn't lost his fabulous sense of humor, all the same.
However, the sources near to Jeremy Clarkson defined the health alarm as "serious", signifying he is dubious to be back to full strength for some weeks.
According to an insider: "Jeremy has never been too concerned with clean living but this has knocked him for six".
Though he's told friends not to expect to hear too much from him over the next few weeks which is very unlike him, and obviously his family are concerned".
"Inevitably people close to him are saying it's time to think about the way he looks after himself – cutting back on the booze and fags – but he's never been one to take that sort of guidance on board.
"This might be a turning point."
The Top Gear alumnus Richard Hammond was on the wings to the hospital in Switzerland. In June after colliding an electric super car in Switzerland. The car, which was being recorded for the newest series of The Grand Tour, rupture into blazes after Hammond escaped the remains. The announcer said he supposed he was going to die through the incident, during which he turn into aerial and worn-out after finishing the Hemberg Hill Climb in Switzerland.
He defined the experience as "like being in a tumble dryer full of bricks going down a hill".
Jeremy Clarkson was dismiss from the BBC's Top Gear in 2015 after hitting producer Oisin Tymon, in addition to calling him "lazy" and "Irish" in a curse fill exchange. However his coworkers Hammond and James May also resigned from show and joined Clarkson to Amazon Prime. Clarkson express regret to Mr Tymon for the "unprovoked physical and verbal attack".

Sammy Vs Capcom!?
Posted 14 September 2003 - 05:10 PM
They mention that a Guilty Gear Street Fighter (or other Capcom Characters) Are coming out
Also, they are devloping a 4 player Guilt Gear X game.
SNK Annouces that the new kof comes out in spring 2004 also.
What do you guys think.
Posted 15 September 2003 - 01:15 PM
I am a big SF fan and on any other cross over I would go with the Capcom side, but not in this case. The differences in gameplay is just so vast. I really don't see SF coming out on top this time.
The KOF on the new Atomiswave system will be nice...very nice....
I think the 4 player screen shots are from a test demo of what the atomiswave hardware can handle for the upcoming Sammy vs. Capcom project.

A few weeks ago Forbes released its World's Billionaire List. Most commentators have noted the increase in Chinese, Indian, and Russian presence on the list. This is not surprising. The three countries are some of the most economically robust countries in the world.
It is no wonder then that the global ruling class is reflecting these nations.
What does this mean for the global ruling class? As James Petras notes in his article "Meet the Global Ruling Class," this surge in billionaires has come with increasing polarization of the world's wealth. "The total wealth of this global ruling class," he writes, "grew 35 per cent year to year topping $3.5 trillion, while income levels for the lower 55 per cent of the world's 6-billion-strong population declined or stagnated. Put another way, one hundred millionth of the world's population (1/100,000,000) owns more than over 3 billion people." I'll repeat that in case you didn't get it: One hundred millionth of the world's population own more than 3 billion people. So much for the rising tide lifting all boats.
Petras also makes some important observations about
But perhaps most interesting is how
In both Latin America and Russia, the billionaires grabbed lucrative state assets under the aegis of orthodox neo-liberal regimes (Salinas-Zedillo regimes in Mexico, Collor-Cardoso in Brazil, Yeltsin in Russia) and consolidated and expanded under the rule of supposedly 'reformist' regimes (Putin in Russia, Lula in Brazil and Fox in Mexico). In the rest of Latin America (
Chile, Colombiaand ) the making of the billionaires resulted from the bloody military coups and regimes, which destroyed the socio-political movements and started the privatization process. This process was then even more energetically promoted by the subsequent electoral regimes of the right and 'center-left'. Argentina
What is repeatedly demonstrated in both
Russiaand Latin Americais that the key factor leading to the quantum leap in wealth from millionaires to billionaires was the vast privatization and subsequent de-nationalization of lucrative public enterprises.
It is no wonder Pierre-Joseph Proudhon said that "property is theft."

In recent posts, I presented data regarding the trends in the percentage of A0 applications among funded R01 grants, showed how the percentage of A0 applications varied between the NIH-wide population and a select group (members of a section of the National Academy of Sciences), and examined the variations in R01 success rates between different NIH Institutes and Centers. Here, I bring these threads together to look at how the percentage of A0 applications among R01 grants varies across NIH Institutes and Centers and then extend the analysis to see how these percentages varies across different universities and other institutions.
Curves showing the percentages of A0 applications among funded R01 grants for six NIH institutes are shown below:
The top two curves are from NIGMS and NEI, two institutes that have had relatively high R01 success rates. The curves lie above the NIH-wide curve. The other curves are for four large institutes with lower success rates.
The average percentages of A0 applications among funded R01 grants over the period from FY2001 to FY2013 for these institutes are compared with the average R01 success rates over this period are shown below:
|Average % A0s
|Ave Success Rate
These parameters are highly correlated with a correlation coefficient of 0.90. The slope of the line fit to these data is 0.54 ± 0.09. Thus, s a rule of thumb, the average success rate is approximately one half of the average percentage of A0 applications among funded R01 grants over this period.
These data are extended to all ICs with R01 success rates for individual fiscal years plotted versus he percentages of A0 applications among funded R01s for those years below:
As could be anticipated, there is more scatter in these data, given the factors that influence both parameters as well as the changes in policy over this period. Nonetheless, a correlation is observed with a correlation coefficient of approximately 0.4 and a best fit line with a similar slope.
The observation of this correlation suggested that the percentage of A0 applications among funded R01 grants could serve as a publicly available parameter to examine the experiences of average investigators at different extramural institutions. The average percentages of A0 applications among funded R01 grants for the period over the period from FY2001 to FY2014 were calculated for the 100 institutions that received the most NIH funding in FY2013. This distribution of these averages are shown below:
The distribution includes a number of institutions with relatively high percentages of A0 applications. These are labelled above. Examination reveals that these institutions consist largely of basic science-focused institutions with substantial hard money support for salaries including the prominent schools of Arts and Sciences or Engineering. This observation is supported by the fact that Princeton University (which is not in the top 100 institutions in terms of overall NIH funding) has a high percentage of A0 applications (62.2%).
Curves for individual institutions are compared below. These include the institution with higher percentage (Rockefeller), an institution with one of the highest percentage but not an outlier (UCSF), and application in the center of the distribution (University of Pennsylvania), and an institution at the bottom edge of the distribution (Wayne State University).
Based on the correlation with success rates, these data suggest that the average success rate for investigators at Rockefeller is approximately 50% higher than that for the NIH-wide average.

Thermal imaging has evolved into one of the most valuable diagnostic tools used for predictive maintenance (PM). Thermal imaging, also called thermography, is the production of non-contact infrared, or "heat" pictures from which temperature measurements can be made. By detecting anomalies often invisible to the naked eye, thermography allows corrective action before costly system failures occur.
Building Diagnostics
ThermaCAM can also provide useful data in building maintenance studies. Evaluation of built-up roofing systems for water leakage is a common application. Since water has a higher thermal mass than the rest of the roofing material it retains the heat longer and can be easily detected with a thermal imaging system at night after the rest of the roof has cooled.
ThermaCAM allows maintenance personnel to quickly locate and mark any wet areas for cost-effective repairs. Tremendous savings result when wet areas of a roof can be repaired rather than replacing the entire roof.
Other applications involving plant structures include issues related to heating and cooling the building. Building envelope studies can be conducted where heat losses can be detected and analysed. Steam generation and distribution systems can be monitored for clogged passages and open steam traps. Even underground steam lines can be viewed and many times leaks can be detected. Furnace condition monitoring is another common application. Refractory breakdown can be detected from the exterior of the furnace and tracked with a digital image database storage package.
Reporting and Analysing Inspection Results
Windows-based image analysis and reporting software integrated with modern IR cameras allow thermographers to create quick reports, make critical decisions and recommend repair action about the equipment and facilities inspected. Wizard-guided reporting software allows even occasional users to automatically generate both simple and complex reports. Another common feature of predictive maintenance software programs is the ability to embed IR images gathered by the inspection camera directly into Word and Excel files.
Additionally, FLIR Systems has developed numerous camera features specifically designed to automate the reporting process. Analysis functions, text, and voice comments can be digitally stored on removable data storage cards with camera images taken in the field, then automatically downloaded and embedded into result tables and report text.
Many ThermaCAM users report full payback of their camera investment within the first six months or less. Typically, the savings resulting from incorporating IR into a predictive maintenance program far outweigh the initial camera investment. When incorporated into predictive maintenance programs, ThermaCAM systems can literally save millions of dollars by locating problems in advance of failure. ThermaCAM is an easy-to-use, self-contained, rugged system designed to operate in harsh environments. Whether the application involves electrical equipment, mechanical systems, building diagnostics, or general maintenance, ThermaCAM will provide maintenance personnel with the accurate thermal information necessary to make critical decisions about equipment repair, replacement and efficient plant operations.
Return on Investment
Thermography has proven to be an invaluable resource combined with, or in place of, other forms of predictive maintenance. ThermaCAM systems locate problems well in advance of failure resulting in an immediate payback on investment and avoiding plant shutdowns. Studies have shown that dollar for dollar, investments in predictive maintenance and product quality programs yield immediate, positive returns to a plant's "bottom line".
Regular surveys of a steel mill's substations potentially save the company tens of thousands of dollars per year. A major steel company discovered a significant temperature rise in one of their 69 KV breakers. If this problem had gone undetected it could have cost the company $50,000 per hour in lost time due to shutdown because of the casters. Total loss of power to a mill is estimated to be over $250,000 an hour.
At a large public electric utility company, a routine thermographic survey indicated one of the output filter capacitors of a station battery charger was considerably cooler then the others. As a result, the capacitor in question was tested and found to have failed. Replacement of the failing capacitor avoided an outage, saving an estimated $500,000.
About Infrared Thermography
Thermal imaging, also called thermography, is the production of non-contact infrared or "heat" pictures from which temperature measurements can be made. Portable infrared cameras scan equipment and structures, then instantly convert the thermal images into pictures in a JPEG format for monitoring and analysis. Thermal imaging increases efficiency and maximizes safety in many industries and environments and is rapidly expanding into new markets.
About FLIR Systems
FLIR Systems is the world leader in the design and manufacturing of infrared cameras. The company has over 40 years of experience and more than 50,000 infrared cameras currently in use worldwide for applications including predictive maintenance, research & development, process monitoring, automation and many others. FLIR Systems has four manufacturing plants located in the USA and Sweden and operates direct sales offices in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, China, Japan and Australia. The company numbers over 1,300 dedicated infrared specialists, and serves international markets through a network of 60 regional offices providing sales and support functions.

Donald Trump intends to authorise the release of "classified" files relating to the assignation of 35th President John F. Kennedy, despite concerns from officials.
In a statement on Twitter, Trump revealed he will be allowing the "long blocked" documents to be opened for the first time.
Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 21, 2017
Trump caveated the decision as being "subject to the receipt of further information".
The move comes against the advice of federal bodies that have expressed concern at the release of the documents.
The National Security Council warned Trump to withhold a batch of files that could shed more light on the November 1963 assassination.
Legislation passed in 1992 led to the release of millions of papers, memos and other evidence relating to the shooting, carried out by Lee Harvey Oswald.
But a stumbling block presented itself with a final cache of documents, due to be revealed by October 26 this year.
As sitting president, only Trump has the power to override the Security Council's advice.

This grant award added to $14.9 million previously secured by Congressman Clyburn, and $3 million and $1 million contributed by the State and Orangeburg County respectively, will be enough to complete this $26 million phase of the I-95/U.S. Highway 301 improvement project. This project is crucial to the full utilization of the Jafza center, which is located in the Global Logistics Triangle bounded by I-95, Highway 301, and S.C. Highway 6.
"Today's TIGER grant is an early Christmas present for the State of South Carolina," Congressman Clyburn said. "This project will make a Continental Tire or Boeing aircraft type project possible for Orangeburg County and the I-95 corridor."
According to Orangeburg County's TIGER grant application, Jafza "center operators expect the full distribution center to generate more than 6,000 jobs regionally in an area which is, and has been for decades, one of the nation's most economically disadvantaged."
The center, when completed, will receive offloaded cargo from the Charleston and Savannah ports by train and trucks for distribution to its final destination.
"Orangeburg County is thrilled with today's announcement of the TIGER grant to enhance the I-95/US 301 interchange that will create an opportunity for significant economic development along an economically challenged area on the I-95 corridor," said Bill Clark, Orangeburg County Administrator. "I would like to thank Congressman James Clyburn, along with Senator Lindsey Graham and the other members of our Congressional Delegation for their work in assisting our local officials in making improvements to the needed infrastructure that will lead to job creation for the citizens in our County."
"This is a project I have been working on for more than a decade, and it is exciting to see it come together at a time when our rural communities along the I-95 corridor have been hit so hard by the economic downturn," Congressman Clyburn continued. "Today is truly a great day in Orangeburg County."
In addition to the long-term impact on the local economy, the construction of the access ramp and 301 extension is estimated to create 404 jobs from 2012 to 2016. Most of those jobs are expected to be created in Orangeburg County, which ranks eighth among the nation's poorest counties with a population greater than 65,000 based on 2008 data.

Despite my new Instant Pot mania, I don't make everything from scratch. I spend more time than necessary in the local supermarket perusing the frozen food cases because every week some new ready-made meal comes to market, each new brand or sub-brand more healthful and more innovative in its cooking technology than the last.
One item I buy a lot of is chicken pot pie and while Banquet, Stouffer's and Swanson along with the fancier Blake's have all graced my oven or microwave, a more local brand has almost cult status among chicken pot pie connoisseurs in New England and the East Coast, Willow Tree.
This family-run business was launched in Attleboro, Massachusetts, in 1954 with Chet Cekala's original recipe made with chickens from the family poultry and egg farm. Now, son Walter and grandsons Chris and Alex Cekala continue the tradition and have expanded on it with a whole line of chicken salads (the original came out for the first time in 1974) and dips (2011).
I've been through all of the pot pies which you can get in 8-ounce and 28-ounce sizes. They cook up well in both the oven and microwave. My M.O. for the individual size is to tip it upside down on the plate and scoop it all out so the upper crust is on the bottom. I then top it with sour cream. The gravy covers the crust and away I go, bite by bite. I like the white meat chicken pies the best - just pure white meat chicken and their gravy. I make my own sides.
It wasn't until last month that I had some of their newer chicken salad varieties, however. (Disclosure: They sent me some samples to try out). There are many deli cases all over the Seacoast that use their classic chicken salad and even many restaurants. I saw some copycat recipes for their classic online as well, so it does have a following. It's quite a simple recipe really, just white meat chicken, mayo and a mix of brown sugar, salt and spices. Now, their mixing the classic with cranberry and walnuts, Buffalo sauce or Sriracha, and they have one made with Aveyo, an avocado-based mayo which makes the salad lower in fats and calories.
What I had never had, though, were the chicken dips which include the Chicken Caesar dip with parmesan Caesar dressing, cream cheese and white meat chicken, and the Buffalo style with cheeses and Buffalo sauce. Those I went a little nuts with and made a few recipes with. You can make it simple and just heat them up like a spinach and artichoke dip and scoop up with your chips of choice or spread on crusty bread. I topped the Buffalo dip with some mozzarella and heated it under the broiler for a nice crust on top. I tried these recipes, too.
Caesar Chicken Dip Pizza
Serves 3-4
This is a variation on a recipe I found on the Willow Tree website. Theirs called for spinach and artichoke hearts, but I made it with a light red sauce and arugula because it's what I had in the house at the time.
Store bought pizza crust
Willow Tree Caesar Chicken Dip
1 c. chopped arugula
1/2 to 1 c. marinara sauce
Parmesan cheese
Spread red sauce on pizza crust, then spread Willow Tree Caesar Chicken Dip on top of the sauce. Top with parmesan cheese and arugula. Bake in oven according to crust directions.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Chicken Dip Chili

This chili recipe uses the Buffalo chicken dip which adds spice and texture.
1 container of Willow Tree Buffalo Style Chicken Dip
1/3 can each of pinto, black and kidney beans (standard 15.5oz can)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 can chopped tomatoes
4-5 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped chives
Mix together the Willow Tree Buffalo Style Chicken Dip, beans, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder and chopped tomatoes in a frying pan on medium heat. Warm until the edges begin to bubble and place in individual bowls, then top with sour cream and chopped chives.

Fraudsters targetting EHIC travellers- and why you need an EHIC
Copycat websites are still all the rage, and the latest trend is for shysters to set up websites to sell you a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) even though you can get them for absolutely nothing. But the reason this seems to be such a rich vein for the fraudsters is that it seems many people don't know that the cards are free.
According to our friends over at Which!!!, 20% of British adults, that's one in five, didn't know that EHIC cards are free for UK residents. They also found that almost one in 16 UK adults who'd been to Europe in the last five years had paid for an EHIC card.
The problem is, of course, that most search engines carry ads for third party websites at the top of search results pages. Copycat websites exploit this, and make themselves as official-looking as possible, so that you think you're on the proper site, when actually you are being taken for a mug.
Which!!! reckon that the two of the most prominent adverts for EHIC cards promoted via top search bot Google lead to copycat sites charging between £24 and £35 per card, instead of getting a free EHIC card from gov.uk/ehic.
But why do I need an EHIC?
Many people think that if they have travel insurance, they don't need an EHIC. This simply isn't true. An EHIC will enable you to access state-provided healthcare (NHS equivalent) in European Economic Area (EEA) countries, including Switzerland, at a reduced cost, or sometimes for free. For example, if you want to see a GP in France, say, you will have to pay a standard amount for the consultation; showing your EHIC card will reduce the amount you pay. If you need ongoing medical care, the EHIC card will cover your treatment until you return to the UK. Unlike many travel insurance policies, the EHIC will also cover treatment of pre-existing medical conditions and routine (i.e not planned birth) maternity care. The NHS has a specific country-by-country guide if you want to check a particular treatment in a certain country.
But while EHIC covers state medical services, it will not cover any private medical healthcare or costs, such as mountain rescue in ski resorts, being flown back to the UK (or, obviously, lost or stolen property), which is why you buy your travel insurance. Some insurers will allow you to reclaim any costs incurred abroad, such as those charged for seeing a GP as above, but some will only refund the EHIC-net cost and some now insist that you hold an EHIC, while others will waive any excess if you have used your EHIC. So being as it costs nothing but a few minutes of your time, you'd be a fool not to get one- and carry it with you when in Europe.

- Mr S.Another problem is, not so long ago if you googled : NHS EHIC Renewal top of the list comes the very official looking fraudsters web sites. One gave the instructions/directions " NHS WEB SITE > " " APPLY NOW ". people would follow those crystal clear instructions believing they were NOW in fact in the official NHS web site. After filling in the form with all your confidential information you was left with the impression the NHS was now charging for an EHIC. Once you received your e-mail receipt you would straight away realize that you had been scammed. It's my understanding thousands of other people did not even realize they had been cleverly scammed. The other problem is one of the web sites in question very cleverly hide who they were and they had past form for ripping off vulnerable people. The people behind this scam web site have thousands upon thousands of peoples confidential information such as full name, date of birth, address, national insurance numbers and national health numbers. This information is a treasure chest of information for fraudsters. It's now time for the National Health Service to make it a legal requirement that only the person or parent of the child the EHIC is to be issued to may apply. This would only require a tick in the box and would make it totally impossible for these scam web sites to operate. End Of Story, Problem Solved. It's my understanding that the authorities are presently focusing on these web sites.
- ArdbegMr Seymore, might you be referring to this mob? http://www.theanatomyofascam.wordpress.com
- Mr S.Ardbeg, EHIC_UK.org. They stopped scamming from that web site after being exposed and simply set up as www.ehic-applications.com & www.ukehic.com Trouble is, anyone can set up one of these web sites and then register with the ICO. With what we have learned it's no surprise that identity theft is so wide spread when any Tom, Dick and Harry can easily set up a web site that can request your personal details. It's all done on trust and the problem is some of these companies/people are dodgy. These web sites need to be urgently regulated, better still STOPPED.
