Gamers will be able to play as the vigilante Red Hood in a number of Batman: Arkham Knight DLC story missions when the game arrives in 2015, thanks to an exclusive pre-order bonus from GameStop. This new content is in addition to the Harley Quinn DLC and exclusive poster already on offer for GameStop customers that pre-order the game.
Red Hood was originally introduced as the leader of a criminal gang, but he became known as the Joker after coming into contact with toxic chemicals that disfigured him. The version of the character that we see here in Arkham Knight has more in common with Jason Todd, who was once Robin, then the villain Hush, before assuming the mantle of Red Hood.
As an antihero who fights for justice, Red Hood wants to cleanse Gotham City of corruption. The problem for Batman is, he does it by any means necessary, killing criminals (and anyone else who gets in his way) without a second thought.
The previous games in the Arkham series have seen their fair share of downloadable content, and it seems that Arkham Knight is no exception. We had a chance to play the game at this year's E3; take a look at our hands-on preview.
Batman: Arkham Knight will be released sometime in 2015 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

How to Rip DVDs to Galaxy S5/S6 Samsung Handset with HandBrake on PC/Mac?
Is it possible to copy/rip DVDs to Samsung Galaxy S5 that has new Eye Scanner technology and curved screen with HandBrake? Find the answer in the DVD to Galaxy S5 HandBrake tutorial here.
According to 2014 Mobile World Congress, Samsung unveiled release Galaxy S5 (following Galaxy S4) as the new flagship smartphone with 5.1" FHD Super AMOLED (1920 x 1080), 432 ppi display, and 142.0 x 72.5 x 8.1mm, 145g of dimension running Android 4.4.2 (Kitkat). And in 2015, Galaxy S6 comes out with 5.1-in display (1440 x 2560 pixels and 577 ppi).
But it is also a shame Galaxy S5 comes here without the rumored astonishing Eye Scanner (IRIS scanning) technology, and curved display similar to existing Galaxy Round, etc which none of Apple iPhones or other handsets does not have.
Will the freeware HandBrake supports ripping DVDs to Samsung new Galaxy S5, Galaxy Round, Note 3, Note 10.1 (2014 edition)? This answercan be found in the following text.
Play DVD on Galaxy S5/S6 May Sounds Crazy, but Do it with Samsung Galaxy S5 DVD Ripper
HandBrake is a free DVD and video decoding program app that is preset with "Android Mid" and "Android High" in the version lower than 0.9.9 and "Android" and "Android Tablet" profiles in HandBrake 0.9.9. Now, the up-to-date HandBrake 0.10.0 has been released. However, when trying to decrypting DVD to Samsung Galaxy S5/S6, users have to exert themselves to the utmost to make some adjustment on settings.
With ready-made Samsung Galaxy S series presets, WinX DVD Ripper Platinum should be reckoned among the best alternatives to HandBrake in ripping DVD for Samsung Galaxy S5's 5.1 inch display.

How to Copy DVD to Samsung Galaxy S5/S6 on PC/Mac

With no effort, you can have a digital file of the source DVD on your hard drive of Mac or PC, and transfer/sync the video to your Samsung gadget. The following guide is for your reference:

You can choose to output it in a format of AVI, MPEG4 or H.264 for playing on Galaxy S3/S4/S5.

|Salix (1)
The Arctic willow (Salix arctica) is a low-growing shrub, which grows flat along the ground and usually forms dense matted structures (3) (4). The Arctic willow is highly variable in its appearance and size, with leaf shape and growth known to differ extensively throughout its range (4).
The leaves of the Arctic willow are more or less oval-shaped (3), and have a smooth margin and a pointed tip (4) (5). They are green and glossy on the upperside and pale grey-green on the underside (3) (4) (5). The Arctic willow produces long, cylindrical, dense clusters of flowers, known as 'catkins', which contain either the male or female flower (2). These flowers have a brown or black bract at the base, which has straight hairs on the underside (2). The female catkins are hairy and are usually between one and eight centimetres in length (3) (5). The male catkins are smaller, only growing up to four centimetres in length (3). The catkins of both sexes grow from the sides of the stems, occasionally appearing to grow from the tip (3) (5).
The stems of the Arctic willow are glossy and free from hair and can vary in colouration between yellow-brown, grey-brown or red-brown (2). Young branches are also highly variable in colouration and can be yellow-brown, red-brown or violet (2), becoming browner over time (5). Young growth has a dense cover of white hair, which is gradually lost as the plant matures (5).
Some scientists recognise a number of subspecies of Arctic willow, although they are not universally accepted (3).
The Arctic willow is dioecious, with the male and female flowers located on separate plants (3). Flowering take place in June and July, with the fruits ripening in August (4). After dispersal, the seeds of the Arctic willow are dormant for 30 days until germination occurs (3).
As well as by seed dispersal, reproduction in the Arctic willow also takes place through vegetative root growth at various points along the stem (5). As a deciduous plant, the Arctic willow sheds its leaves at the end of the growing season (3).
The catkins of the Arctic willow may be much warmer than the surrounding air temperature. On calm, sunny days, female catkins may be up to 8.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the temperature of their surroundings and this difference in temperature speeds up pollen and seed growth, as well as attracting insects (3).
The Arctic willow has a symbiotic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, which enables the Arctic willow to take up nutrients into the root more efficiently (3).
The Arctic willow is eaten throughout its range by many different animals including muskox (Ovibos moschatus), Arctic hare (Lepus arcticus), ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), with the younger buds and leaves being particularly popular (2) (3) (7).
The Arctic willow is found in Arctic and alpine tundra and mountainous regions (4), where it grows in both acidic and calcareous soils (3) (6). The habitat of this adaptable plant varies greatly, including both dry and wet areas, which can be protected or exposed, and both acidic and alkaline soils (4). It is also found in meadows, fens, Sphagnum bogs and around the edges of pools and snowfields (2) (5). Throughout its range, the Arctic willow can be found up to elevations of 2,000 metres (2).
The Arctic willow can often be found living alongside other plant species such as the snow willow (Salix reticulata) (3).
The Arctic willow has yet to be is classified by the IUCN.
There are not known to be any specific conservation measures currently in place for the Arctic willow.

Photo of Diver and Goatfish Wins Underwater Photo Contest.
Whilst out in Egypt I entered an underwater photographic competition with the photo on the left and was lucky enough to be selected as the winner by the judges. I took it on the first dive of the trip at Erg Abu Ramada, when I found a large school of Yellow Tail Goatfish (Mulloidichthys vanicolensis ). I asked the model to swim through the school so I could capture the image above.

Shark Photography.
I have just returned back from a week helping on the Longimanus Project. Carcharhinus longumanus, the Oceanic White Tip Shark (left) is an Oceanic wanderer that has seen heavy declines in numbers over recent years due to long-lining and the increased demand for shark fins. The project is currently recording the numbers of sharks and their range by collecting photographs and identifying individuals ad their locations over time. The project has been running in the Red Sea for a number of years and has a database containing over 500 sharks that have been sighted during tis time. for more info on the project click here: Longimanus Project.
Photographic Technique:
For shooting sharks, and any other marine life for that matter, there are a number of rules that will greatly enhance the quality of your photos.
Firstly there is the light and colour drop off caused by the water. The density of the water causes the red part of the spectrum to be filtered out of light in the first 5 meters and as your depth increases the colours decrease until you are left with dark blues and eventually black. To counteract this colour drop off, you can either manually white balance your camera with the surrounding area or use strobes to "paint" the colour back into the picture.
The second rule of photography is to get close to the subject then get closer again :). This is because water contains particulate matter that gets between the lens and the subject and generally degrades the quality of the image. The other reason for this advice is that many photographers take the shot with too little of the subject in the frame.
To shoot the photo above I was using a canon 5D with a 17-40mm f4 L lens and a B+W -4 diopter to correct the distortion caused by the dome port.
As the shark was too far a way for the strobes to light it, I manually white balanced the camera using my hand, as there was no reef / white card available. Camera settings: Top shot: 1/125s
f7.1 ISO 250 @ 40mm.
I have included the second shot to illustrate how close these sharks get, Here he was about 2 feet from the front of the dome port and the shark was getting frisky, you can make out a divers legs behind as he struggles to get out of the water into the zodiac :) Sadly the whole encounter only lasted less than a minute and It was the only dive I was able to do as I managed somehow to get a very bad cold and fever for a couple of days, which, sadly, put an end to my diving.

Carta Si Ladies Italian Open
Marianne Skarpnord won the Italian Ladies Open, the final European event of the season. She beat Laura Davies of England in a 3 hole playoff to lift her second trophy of the season. Afterwards Marianne, her caddie and boyfriend Petter, and I went out to dinner to celebrate in style with... a McDonalds LOL. Sometimes you are too tired to bother waiting for table service at a restaurant, that was our excuse anyway.
The next golfing stop is Dubai in December. But before that I am off to Egypt to try and find and photograph Oceanic Whitetip sharks, Charcharinus longimanus. I'll keep you posted :)

Milan For a Week
The Carta-Si Ladies Italian Open preview started with a trip to Damiani, one of the most prestigious jewelers in Milan, whose clients range from George Clooney to Brad Pit. Diana Luna of Italy, Beatriz Recari of Spain and Christina Kim of the USA spent the morning trying on necklaces, earrings and rings and surprisingly enough, throughly enjoyed the experience. Left is a picture of Beatriz wearing a diamond necklace and earrings worth a combined total of £550,000. As you can imagine, it was not difficult getting the girls to smile for the shots.

Azza Wins in Madrid
Azahara Munoz of Spain took the Madrid Ladies Masters title in her first professional event. She was invited to the event by Double Match, the promotor of the Madrid Ladies Masters. She proved a popular winner with the local press and players alike, having known many of them from her glittering amateur career.
Congrats to Azza on her win, and I look forward to working with her next season.

Zach Zinn at the Cavity Club: A Human Wire Suspension Masterpiece - January 13, 2012
Zach Zinn at the Cavity Club: A Human Wire Suspension Masterpiece
January 13, 2012
An invitation to a new club. More like a burned-out house off of Texas Street. Set-up in the basement. Only Zach Zinn would play a gig like this. I walk in and am drowned in consecutive waves of thick incense and disturbing ambient sound. There are a few signs leading you through the house and down into the basement where there are about 30 people standing around – everyone looking like they are ready to run. Electric weird vibe. Dark anticipation. The odor of humans starting to worry. Across the room is a black plastic sheet. The occasional shudder as those working behind it move around. 15 minutes pass. A few people wander away. Then the ambient music stops and a girl comes out to pull the black plastic down from where it was nailed into the ceiling. And everyone has a hard time figuring out what exactly is it that they are seeing there on the other side.
At first, it looks like Zach Zinn is floating there in mid-air like some sort of absent magician's trick. But then, you see that he is suspended by a multitude of wires which are hooked into his body. Tiny rivulets of blood trickle over his skin. After an initial inward gasp, a collective murmuring of concern starts to rise in volume. Zach slowly raises and arm and plucks one of the strings. A deep bass note trembles through the room. The crowd shuts up. Then he plucks another string and another until each is resonating and rising through manipulated tonalities, fading over long moments, swirling like water down a drain, suddenly going quiet, always a distant thunder sounding. Zach twists in obvious pain to reach some of the strings. And it dawns on me that he has made himself into a human stringed instrument and he is playing an ambient adagio of his own pain. It is brilliant and disturbing and no one could stop watching and listening for the duration of the 45 minute performance.
It is a rare artist that is willing to endure such agony for their own creation. I bow down to Zach Zinn and his willingness to push the boundaries and show the world something that has not been witnessed before.

Another legal case is heading for the estate of Michael Jackson, this time from Wade Robson, a famed choreographer who alleges that he experienced "childhood sexual abuse" by the late pop icon.
Robson, who has worked with Britney Spears and appeared on So You Think You Can Dance, frequently visited MJ's Neverland Ranch from age 7 and 14. He filed a complaint on May 1 asking the judge in the Jackson Estate case to allow him to file a late creditor's claim to collect money from the estate.
On Wednesday, the MJ estate's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, refuted Robson's claims as "outrageous and pathetic." But the dancer's lawyer released a statement to Fuse calling Jackson a "monster" and "sexual predator." Read the full statement below.
"Michael Jackson was a monster and in their hearts every normal person knows it. Wade Robson, in addition to being one of the most talented people on the planet, is one of the kindest, most gentle, decent and introspective human beings one will ever meet. He is the loving father of a young son and happily married. Last year, on a career trajectory that was off the charts, he collapsed under the stress and sexual trauma of what had happened to him for seven years as a child.
He lived with the brain washing by a sexual predator until the burden of it all crushed him. 'If anyone ever finds out about what we did we will go to jail for the rest of our lives' and 'our lives will be ruined forever,' Michael would say to him. This kind of intimidation of a child by a sexual predator is tragically characteristic and effective, keeping them quiet about the abuse - often for a lifetime. The irony here is that we were the ones who filed under seal and still tried to keep it secret.
Amidst all the accusations of a financial motive, no amount of damages is even listed in our papers.There are significant legal issues involved in this case that have the potential to impact lives beyond just our client. But the Jackson money machine, in which everyone is indeed financially motivated, is at it once again to keep the truth from coming out. This time it won't work."

BRIDPORT — Bridport residents at their town meeting agreed to take steps to take the town clerk, treasurer and tax collector positions off future election ballots and instead allow the local selectboard to appoint people to those positions. This will allow qualified candidates to apply from outside of the town of Bridport.
BRIDPORT — Sometimes the best ideas come just before a breakdown.
You're at the end of your rope and you're either going to break down or break through.
Nancy Sunderland is one of the fortunate who broke through.
Sunderland, 37, is a native Vermonter who grew up in Essex Junction to French Canadian parents who had emigrated from Quebec.
Toward the end of high school, Sunderland reviewed her options and made a decision that surprised several people around her: She enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps.

BRIDPORT — Bridport residents at their town meeting next Tuesday will be asked to take the town clerk, treasurer and tax collector positions off future election ballots and instead allow the local selectboard to appoint people to those positions.
ADDISON COUNTY — Bridport and Cornwall will each welcome new elementary school principals this summer, and neither incoming leader will have a long way to travel to get to their respective jobs.
Addison Central Supervisory Union Superintendent Peter Burrows confirmed this week the appointments of Jennefer Eaton as principal of Bridport Central School, and Jennifer Kravitz as the new leader of Cornwall's Bingham Memorial School.
BRIDPORT — Members of Addison County's agricultural community are concerned about how they could be affected by the state's latest push to clean up Lake Champlain.
Gov. Peter Shumlin in his January inaugural address cited cleanup of the lake as one of his top priorities for the 2015-2016 biennium. He noted that farmers must play a key role in that effort, through water quality initiatives that are in part designed to reduce manure runoff into Lake Champlain. Manure is a leading source of phosphorous pollution in the lake.
ADDISON COUNTY — Last year, the Public Service Board approved 26 projects in Addison County larger than 15 kilowatts, the largest of which were a 2.2-megawatt array in Middlebury and a 2.0-megawatt array in Bridport.
As workers proceed with construction of these arrays, soon to be among the largest in the state, many Addison County residents are wondering who's making money from these large arrays. Landowners get revenue from leases, municipalities get tax revenue, construction firms get business — but how do investors in solar projects benefit?
BRIDPORT — Vermont State Police on Friday, Oct. 3, were looking for the owner of a horse that was struck and killed by a vehicle on Route 22A in Bridport. Late that day police reported that they had identified and notified the owner of the horse.
UPDATE: BRIDPORT — Vermont State Police earlier today were looking for the owner of a horse that was struck and killed by a vehicle on Route 22A in Bridport. Police have now found and notified the owners of the animal.
BRIDPORT — Local farmers and farm workers gathered at Bridport's Blue Spruce Farm in late July for a farm-safety training workshop that consisted of basic farm first aid training, a talk on power takeoff (PTO) safety, and a hands-on fire extinguisher exercise.
The two-and-a-half-hour workshop was sponsored by Co-Operative Insurance Companies in conjunction with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and University of Vermont Extension.
BRIDPORT — A solar orchard powering Middlebury's Woodchuck Hard Cider recently won two honors at a national solar show.??The 150kW Bridport project utilizing Vermont-made AllSun Trackers was a "Project of Distinction" finalist and won "Project of Distinction 2014 Fan Favorite" at the PV America event in Boston in June.?

Condolences on the loss of Sir Edmund Hillary. He was quite an icon among climbers and New Zealanders.
- CarlBrannen said...
In this neck of the woods, one can get a free internet connection by wifi at local libraries. This works even when the libraries are closed, if you're willing to hang around close enough to them.
- Kea said...
Thanks, Louise. Carl, we can get free access from a cinema, but only so long as the battery lasts, and its quite a distance from home. Moreover, I find screaming children a little distracting.
- CarlBrannen said...
Along the line of the screaming children thing, I'm considering getting myself one of those thingies that plays music and an earphone. I figure I could wear it when I want to think about things instead of talk to people who just want to past the time.
- Doug said...
Hi Kea, Have you considered a professional transition within physics to some type of bio-physics for gainful employment?
Londoner Paul Davies, "physicist and cosmologist by profession", now "also work[s] in astrobiology". He had a recent 8 page paper, 'Are Aliens among Us?' in Scientific American, December 2007.
He discusses the possible substitution of methane for water in cold. I wonder if he may overlook the possibility of H2S in hot such as Venus?
He also writes about chirality, levo in nucleic acids and dextro in sugars. I wonder if historical periodic Geomagnetic reversals could allow for viable levo sugars and dextro nucleic acids during such dramatic changes?
Physicist Gary A Glatzmaier UC-Santa Cruz has published in Nature, Science and Scientific American abbout such reversals.
There seem to be many opportunities for various scientists in the multi-disciplinary fields of biology. It may not be HEP, but knot theory is prominent in nucleic acids.

I watched tonight's episode of Real Time with Bill Maher and couldn't help to think why aren't all comedies as politically incorrect as this. Also, why is HBO the only network that has the guts to run politically incorrect shows?
When HBO is considered daring for showing this kind of content, you know there's a problem.
All things considered, do you really want to live in a world where comedy is afraid to be funny?
Well, this is what would happen if comedians, television shows, and writers were forced to conform to only using language that won't offend anyone.
This is already coming into effect all over the world, especially in America. Whenever someone tries to be funny by using politically incorrect words, some groups of people are offended. No one knows how to laugh anymore.
Then, people are forced to apologize for what they said. Everything is taken seriously and all laughter is policed.
If I want to laugh at jokes that sound discriminatory, I don't want to have to feel bad about it. I want people to be more open to a variety of comedy styles.
Political correctness will ruin dark comedy, mockumentaries, standup, and satire forever. If people continue in this direction, where all language is restricted, comedy will decline.
There will no longer be shows like, Summer Heights High, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, or even Family Guy.
For godsake, Chris Lilley is even being accused of being racist for using blackface. If you're offended by him pretending to be different characters, you need to change your priorities in life.
If people are offended by political incorrectness, they live in a bubble. There are worse things in the world than comedians being insensensitive. People need to learn how to laugh again.
The bottom line is that political correctness needs to come to a halt to save comedy from becoming as boring as Modern Family.
Just forget how 'offensive' some comedians are and laugh if you find them funny.
And don't get me started on why the Office UK is funnier than the U.S. version.

Budget Beautiful
Forgo the expense of purchasing a pricey headboard in favor of an equally dramatic, DIY wall treatment. Here, large Ginko leaves were stenciled onto the wall above the bed, creating a dramatic focal point. A large silk lantern above the bed plays in to the calming, Asian-inspired vibe of the wall treatment.

|work in progress: Who Were You, Who You Were 30 x 31.5 inches, archival stamp ink on paper
Two years ago I'd asked my dad if he could send me a few photo albums all the way from Wisconsin. I requested one album in particular which had an achromatic photo of my mom's sisters in creepy halloween masks which was probably taken in the late 50's or early 60's. My dad searched through endless photo albums and, distracted by the halloween request, instead sent me a few from my brother's childhood--which for the record included an amazing picture of my brother and his friends dressed as a gorilla, a Smurf, and Garfield--the latter two the kind with a hard plastic mask and shiny plastic bag for the costume. I laughed and scoffed (like a crappy teenager) at our game-of-telephone, but thought there might be something special in the mix-up.
I'm a sucker for the color ochre. All of my brother's childhood photos have a lovely patina of gold or sea green. Although we are nine years apart, there were a lot of overlaps in the things we did for fun since we grew up in the same tiny town, and looking through these photos made me smell and hear and taste all the things I remembered from my own. It mostly smells like grass and dirt and sun. Do you remember how your knees smelled when you were a kid?
Several of these photos were used as inspiration in 2014 in my series Your Shadow's Shadow. They feature my brother (who's very much alive and expecting a babe with my lovely sis-in-law) and our mom who died of cancer in 2010. They were so young and so alive in the photos. Both have the sweetest teeth-concealing smiles. Mischievous. It's so strange now, nearly six years later trying to re-materialize this woman. Who was she? Every relived memory I have of her degrades itself and disappears each time I recall--my new memory superimposing itself on the original, like the cancer that took over her brain and body. On top of this, there are so many missing stories. Who this person was before she had us kids, who she was when she was a kid herself, how did she personally navigate the gossip and smallness of Waubeka, Wisconsin?
I have vague ideas of the answers to these questions. She raised me, after all. I have so many traits and behaviors that I can see translating directly from her in myself. From the stories I remember, I can imagine how she felt after the nuns made her drink spoiled milk, and what she did when she discovered my brother's bio-dad was cheating on her, the cute story of how she and our dad met through their mutual mechanic, or how she'd go dancing at Wyler's on Saturday nights with her girlfriends. But for us, naturally self-centered kids, she had to emit such a gleaming, endlessly caring M-O-M; we can only wonder what these experiences were to her. These thoughts and actions simmering in her quiet, secret strength behind her kind and meek exterior. This woman who made us butter-heavy meals, had laugh-attacks with us, and dozed off on the couch while we played with her hair even though she woke up at 3am to build engines in a factory.
I reopened these albums again this year. This latest grid-based series is based on family photos, allowing me to excavate these wonderings in a superficial way, I suppose. I found a few of mom and I in my brother's album--I'm guessing this (above) is from 1989. I say superficial because I'm not going to find the answers to these questions here, but it's been interesting and reflective for me to re-draw photos from my own family. Maybe I'm a shit-head, but I always thought our family photos looked boring. They were recognizable, things I experienced in real life. When I go to Smut and flip through their suitcase of Instant Relatives, even the mundane looks exciting because I've never seen it before.
This drawing is allowing me to illuminate the mundane. Now that I don't have access to knowing our mom in real life, it's no longer mundane because people become stories when they die.
I began by scoring a grid into the paper using my etching needle. Using quarter-inch diamond stamps (hand carved from a polymer eraser--thanks to the lovely JJ from PDXCC for the tip!) as my only tools and four colors (CMYK) of archival stamp ink, I slowly and methodically tiptoe from the bottom to the top. Everything about this process is like a last-ditch effort to be a printmaker, but not.
It's been so fun to navigate through the color and to carefully try to make the most out of as few marks as possible. I can't go backwards once the stamp is down, just like with the typewriter. I like having the opportunity to make irrevocable mistakes, which is probably what led me to printmaking in the first place.
But am I painting? I'm stubbornly labeling myself as a printmaker/drawer; plus the methods I'm using are a departure from my typewriter drawings, so I really don't think so. It could be a monotype. It's definitely a drawing. I feel like it can't be a painting because painting is loose, and you can paint over it, and you can use an endless variety of tools--but there are endless ways to make prints and draw and maybe my lack of painting-knowledge is making me pigeon-hole what painting is. Hm.
In any case, I am super thrilled to be near completion with the first piece for my upcoming solo show: Who Were You, Who You Were on view at Café Lulu, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from April 15 - May 31, 2016. The opening reception will be held in conjunction with Bayview Gallery Night on Friday, April 15 from 5 - 9pm. So excited to share this work, in particular, back home.

It is three weeks ago now that we celebrated my 70th birthday. I want to share with you what my friend Daniel wrote for the occasion--my 31 year old friend. Many years ago now, I co-edited a book with John Preston called "Sister and Brother: Lesbians and Gay Men Talk about Their Lives Together." John died from AIDS before he saw the finished book which was not a success then back in 1995. Neither many lesbians or gay men bought the book, each I imagine thinking the other was other. I dedicate these words, Daniel's words about our life together, to the memory of John.
This is your birthday, so this is my love letter for you.
I first met Joan when I was writing my PhD at the University of Melbourne.
She had come from New York, a stranger to the city.
I too had come from far away and our connection was instant: two strange shapes that felt out of place but drawn together through our queer sense of the world.
Of course, I had first met Joan through her writing. Eve Sedgwick introduced me to Joan through the pages of "Epistemology of the Closet."
In this book, Sedgwick calls out Joan's name and the other courageous pro-sex survivors of the sex wars as pioneers. These writers, say Sedgwick, challenged feminist orthodoxies of the time which pitted lesbians and gay men against one another. For Sedgwick writing in 1990, these challenges themselves "led to a refreshed sense that lesbians and gay men share important though contested aspects of one another's histories, cultures, identities, politics and destinies." (37)
Although it may sound too grand to say in this public place, in the privacy of our relationship I know that I have been privileged to experience that sharing, that intersection and that mutual implication with Joan in a profound and personal way.
That sharing, that intersection, that mutual implication. When Joan would read my dissertation drafts she would always say, "why do you always write in threes?" From the start Joan could always read my rhythm. I want to say that it's kind of like that old Bette Midler song from "Beaches," I know you by heart, because our friendship is just about as camp and as dorky as that.
Ever since our first meeting at the restaurant when I went fumbling through your clothes looking for you lost ear-ring while the English Department sat around us lunching to our endless obsession with pyjama parties--we have fun. She makes me feel young again.
In our current writing project, we have been reflecting on intergenerational perspective on queer archiving. And perhaps it wasn't until I had been to New York to visit the ephemera files, the books, banners, posters, badges and spunky dyke volunteers who worked at the Herstory Archives that I really understood Joan's Australia. For Joan, those archives were her compass--here Joan has had a chance to look at life from different eyes, out of space, out of time. And at times this reorientation has been scary but it has let Joan see life from a wholly different side. Joan is often wont to say that I introduced her to the language of post-structuralism, to queer theory and Foucalt--but it has been an honour of my life to constantly bring Joan back to the fact that her work, as Sedgwick makes clear, has helped lay the foundations of queer studies today. As her friends we have all helped her reorient herself to her histories, to herself, in this new land. And I have seen how Joan's relationship with Di here in this beautiful home they have created has inspired Joan to paint life across a new canvas and to find new languages for her life in this vivid, different world.
And we are all here today because Joan has captured our hearts. The way her eyes glisten when she smiles, so full of such a celebration of life and its pleasures. The way her jaw changes position beneath her soft cheeks as she rails against war, oppression and violence. Joan is like a power source. Knowing her, we know how she organized all those lesbians across New York City to get the Archives happening. She can hustle and she can schmooze and she can carouse. And she can certainly make me swoon.
During my PhD years, Joan and Di did the bureaucratic dance of visas and immigration and when the bureaucrats weren't smiling on Joan's application to remain here I remember doing the gentlemanly thing and offering my hand. As it turns out, she turned me down, but she did it so tenderly.
In a world of managerial universities, Joan has been a true academic mentor. She has nurtured me and kept believing in me and it is only now that I have an academic job that I can look back on all those years of uncertainty with a real and deep appreciation for her love and encouragement. People all over the world can tell stories about how you have inspired and driven them and on behalf of all those people who can't be here today, I want to say thank you.
Joan is a friend in both the summer and the winter, embracing the pleasure and facing life's hardness. Through our more recent times in hospitals you have been a rock. Who knew that sudoku and the letters of Rosa Luxemburg could get you through the eye of the storm? Thank you Joan--you have a gift for making a path out of the debris.
When Joan prepares for a public speaking engagement, she will spend weeks collecting clippings and fragments from here and there to rustle through and read from. A narrative emerges from the constituent parts, so, to close, I have two:
from Walt Whitman's "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry"
"What it it then between us?
What is the count of scores or hundreds of years between us?
Whatever it is, it avails not--distance avails not, and place avails not,
I too lived, Brooklyn of ample hills was mine
I too walked the streets of Manhattan island, and bathed in the waters around it,
I too felt the curious abrupt questionings stir within me..."
Second, this is from a 1995 song by Chris Knox:
Seems like you and me are stuck together
Feels like we've never been apart
Seems like you are my skin of supple leather
Feels like your blood pumps through my heart
Seems like you and me are one another
Feels like we couldn't be un-joined
Seems like I am your sister, you're my brother
Feels like a phrase yet to be coined
Seems like I am to you a vital organ
Feels like you are to me the air
Seems like without your night I'd have no morning
Feels like you'll always want me there
It we should ever be untethered
If somehow we should end
If we could not go on together
Apart you'd be my good and trusting friend.
Happy Birthday, Joanie

Jackson Hospital Contracts with Numerous Insurance Companies
Jackson Hospital is now a provider for the Humana Medicare Advantage Plan as of April 1, 2014. According to Patient Financial Services Director, Sharon Dilmore, "Over 600 Jackson County citizens signed up with Humana this past enrollment season. We want our senior citizens to be in-network when they come to Jackson Hospital and not have to worry about the expense of traveling a great distance."
Another way that Jackson Hospital is trying to meet the needs of Jackson County citizens is by offering at least three preferred provider plans that may fit the medical insurance needs of small businesses in the area. "There have been many changes to health insurance options, and we want to help if at all possible," says Dilmore.
Jackson Hospital contracts with 31 different health insurance providers. For a complete list, go to: http://jacksonhosp.com/about us/accepted insurances.aspx.

I bought my first bike in almost 20 years on Memorial Day this year. I lusted after one for years, envisioning myself in Paris on a sassy little vintage cruiser, a wicker basket full of flowers and a baguette decorating my handlebars…very similar to the fantasy I have of cruising through Rome on a Vespa, actually. It didn't help that when we actually went to Paris, I saw chic French women on bikes everywhere.
In reality, I was afraid to pull the trigger on something so expensive when I wasn't sure what kind of use I would get out of it. I kept my eye on Craigslist, but the kind of bikes (well-made, safe, not from a big box store) my husband wanted me to get were still too expensive. I understood his reasons behind wanting me to pay more for a quality ride, but that didn't make my want-it-right-now self very happy at times. Cruisers go for a premium even used; the good ones get snapped up quickly, leaving only Wal-Mart Schwinns and Huffys. I didn't give up, though. I was determined that I would find the used bike of my dreams, so I set up some searches on my Craigslist iPhone app and checked them a couple times a week. My tenacity paid off when I spotted this bright-colored beauty…a sweet Electra Cruiser 1 for an equally sweet price.
Her name is Esmeralda. Since her purchase, she has lost the pannier baskets (not a good choice when her storage is upstairs!) gotten adjusted to my height, and awaits the end of the evil Texas summer before we can become true BFFs. We are in the middle of a long, horrible stretch of 100+ degree weather and it makes being outside truly miserable. I can't wait until the weather cools down a bit so I can enjoy being velo-mobile. I plan on outfitting her while we wait with a front quick release basket, a rear rack, and maybe some chrome fenders. We are also trying to figure out the best rig to fit Esme in/on my Honda Fit for drives to trails that are out of riding distance from our house. I can't use a normal trunk rack because of my spoiler and she needs some adjustments to fit in the back of the car.
Whenever get into something new, I start searching the Internet for blogs and forums that make me feel connected to other people with the same interest. I was thrilled to find many more blogs than I expected with a focus on girls riding the kind of bike I have while wearing fashionable clothes and having a great time. That is the kind of lady cyclist I want to be–stylish, laid back, and having fun. I'm never going to be a racer, serious road cyclist, or even a commuter (if we stay in Dallas, anyway), but I intend to enjoy my time on two wheels!

Active Rossendale Bike Workshop (Active Spaces)
Michael, 42, was diagnosed with a heart murmur as a child, underwent a heart bypass at 19 and later suffered a stroke. Stuck at home because he was too frightened to go out on his own in case something happened, Michael was feeling lonely and isolated.
Always interested in cycling, he thought he would give the workshop a go as a way to "get out of the house and meet new people".
He never thought after six weeks he'd actually have his own bike, be out cycling and feel so much better in such a short space of time.
Michael said: "When I first came along I really struggled. My heart rate shot up to 198 beats per minute. After six weeks of gentle training, I feel so much better. My heart rate during exercise has lowered to 120 beat per minute and I've lost 3kg in weight.
"I feel fitter and stronger and a lot more confident in going out and exercising by myself."
Michael's goal is to complete the Manchester to Blackpool charity bike ride for Christies.
Active Rossendale, a project to encourage the take up of gentle exercise, received £16,000 of match funding from Newground Together.
Some of this funding has been used to pay for the Bike Workshop on the Pennine Estate in Bacup. Other funding has been received from Lancashire County Council and CTC – the national cycling charity.
The six week course teaches basic bicycle maintenance. Participants are then introduced to Bikeability skills – cycling proficiency for the 21st century – to make sure they have the confidence to take to the road.
Michael, a tenant of Green Vale Homes, is just one of 30 people from the estate who have participated in the bike project since it was launched earlier this year.
The project is run by James Kenyon of Active Rossendale. James is overwhelmed by the interest of the people on the Pennine Estate and is particularly proud of Michael's achievements.
The bike project is delivered by Newground part of the Together Housing Group, which also includes Green Vale Homes.
Graham Marshall from Active Rossendale with residents from the Pennine Estate who are taking part in the bike workshop – Sarah Patient, Karren Walsh, Nicole Cullen, Barbara Devlin and Michael McCabe.

The Reebok Classic Leather and the classic work boot are two streetwear staples that hardly require an introduction. What does require an explanation is how well one translates into the other. At first glance, they would appear to be incompatible; the heavy, silhouette of the work boot doesn't seem like it would have much to offer the pleasant, rounded sleekness of the sneaker.
One of the major selling points of the Reebok Classic is that it is such an uncomplicated, and therefore, unfussy shoe. This also makes it rather adaptable. Switch out the normal black or white leather for tan, beef up the eyelets with metal, and add rope laces, and you have the rugged style of a boot with the comfort of the Reebok Classic.
If a size is not listed, it is sold out.

Male Leadership Academy
Day Treatment Overview
Don Bosco Hall in conjunction with the BKB Academy runs an intensive community-based supervision program. The Leadership Academy provides comprehensive education and treatment services to (50) adjudicated male youth between the ages of 12-17 years. The youth that are eligible for this program are between middle school and high school eligible students. The youth come from the Wayne County Juvenile Justice CMO system. The youth in the program have been assessed to be high risk community-based status youth.
Profile of Youth Served:
The majority of youth in this program have had prior histories of poor academic performance and social conduct issues within school settings. All of the youth have committed juvenile violations that have placed them under the supervision of the Wayne County Juvenile Justice System. The overall purpose of the Leadership Academy is to provide the youth with an intensive educational, social development and leadership program that will address their academic and behavioral deficiencies. The Leadership Academy also provides these young men with supportive, highly structured and therapeutic support activities that will promote positive changes and corrections to their anti-social behaviors. The program serves youth on probation youth, committed youth and post-released youth.
The overall goal of the Don Bosco Hall Male Leadership Academy is to provide community-based educational, leadership and support services to male delinquent youth and their families that will empower and strengthen the youth's ability to discontinue delinquent behavior.
Domains of Leadership Development:
Description of Core Services:
The Don Bosco Hall Male Leadership Academy will provide the youth with a variety of educational and support services. The youth will attend an intensive educational program during school days. The school operates between the hours of 8:00am - 3:30pm. The BKB Academy will provide the educational instruction. At the completion of the school day, the youth will participate in a variety of after-school recreational, cultural arts, career development, leadership training and tutorial services. The youth will be transported to and from the Center Monday - Saturday. The Academy will also provide community monitoring services for the youth during the evening hours and Sunday. Listed below are the types of services that will be provided within the Center.
Educational Instruction
Crisis Management
After School Services
Group Counseling
Family Counseling
Career Planning
Community Service Projects
Psychotherapeutic Services
Community Monitoring
Random Drug Screening/Counseling
Pre-Employment Training
Reintegration/Follow Up Services
Referral Services
At the completion of the school day, the youth will participate in an evening program.
The evening program activities will be conducted at the Don Bosco Hall Community Resource Center. The program youth will receive a light snack at the completion of the day program. The evening program will be conducted between the hours of 3pm - 7pm. After 7pm, the youth will then be transported to their place of residences (community home or residential treatment program). The youth will be monitored the remaining of the evening hours through community monitors.
The services within the evening program will consist of the youth enrolling in the various activities that are offered through the Don Bosco Hall Community Resource Center.
Eagle Program
The DBH Eagle Program is an intensive, short-term intervention program for adjudicated male-youth. The goal of the program is to assist young men and their families in successfully returning the youth home, if possible, or securing the most appropriate setting upon program completion. Residents of the program progress through a four-level system (Freshman to Senior) by demonstrating appropriate behavior, participating in therapy, and progressing through their Care Pathway. The level system in the Eagle Program is designed to assist residents in improving positive behavior, leadership skills, and responsibility.
The Level system is based on behavioral therapy and behavioral change. The program is designed to provide positive reinforcement for responsible behavior and natural consequences for negative behavior. Behavior management is primarily provided through positive reinforcement, programmatic consequence, and peer and staff confrontation and in severe cases, non-violent physical management. Preparing for the next placement outside of the Eagle Program depends entirely upon the youth. It is advised that youth recognize very early in their stay with us that he will be leaving. Everything that is done should be geared toward reaching that goal.
Over a 3-4 month period, we work with our program residents to help eliminate risky behavior patterns, and help them to develop their positive leadership skills. While in the Eagle Program, youth are encouraged to identify their main struggles and work to build new ways of interacting with others. This is accomplished through a positive leadership development model using educational, social and cultural components together with traditional therapy to promote leadership skills with the youth. This cutting edge leadership intervention model will help transform youth that have traditionally been viewed as deficits in their communities into positive assets in their homes, schools and neighborhoods. Upon graduating from the Eagle Program, youth may be referred to the DBH Male Leadership Academy (MLA) to continue their educational goals. From the Male Leadership Academy, youth will continue making progress toward graduation while residing at home.
"We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with young men from the community to help make positive changes in their lives. Our goal is to help eliminate the risk factors that led them to this point and to help them learn to utilize their strengths to become positive leaders in our community." - Charles D. Small
Mandatory components at all levels are:
To monitor a young man's progress and plan for his discharge, it is appropriate to observe the way one lives/treats others, problem solves, demonstrates leadership, and supports one another. Your young man should note throughout his stay in the Eagle Program that there are rewards and consequences he will choose to earn by the choices he makes. This lesson applies in life outside placement
Family participation in treatment also.
Negative drug screens
Successful/healthy visits
We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with young men from the community to help make positive changes in their lives. Our goal is to help eliminate the risk factors that led them to this point and to help them learn to utilize their strengths to become positive leaders in our community.
Don Bosco Hall - Eagle Program
Compliance with DBH rules
Participation in therapy
The trend within the County of Wayne has been to lessen the number of youth that are going into Residential Treatment Programs. There are increasingly more programs being designed and implemented to modify youth behavior while keeping youth within their home environment. Youth are now and more frequently being placed onto tethers, so that their whereabouts in terms of being in school or at home is traceable. There are Wrap around Programs where social workers are involved and checking in with the teens in both their home and school environments and there are more teens involved in Day Treatment programs, such as Don Bosco Hall's Male Leadership Academy and Don Bosco Hall's Eagle program. These programs provide youth with concentrated support with their education and social behavior. Although, we are finding that for some of these kids these new trends in programming are doable and successful, there are still a significant population of youth who are simply at a higher risk of entering into the juvenile justice system and then the criminal justice system . In these cases Don Bosco Hall's Residential Treatment Program is still the best and most viable solution for help and change.

Three steps to survive economic difficulty
Three steps to survive economic difficulty
At some point in our lives, we experienced economic hardship. The demands of daily living puts a toil in us, sometimes we just seem to just give up and sulk. Other times we are feeling inadequate specially when we cant even provide for our basic wants, that's the time we think of other solutions to the problems. It gets worst when we have a family to think about too. We cannot just sit down and worry, we need to do something. Worrying doesn't help us at all, it just caused depression and insecurity.
What we need to do:
1. Check your finances/Analyze the situation
Analyze what is happening to your finances. Take a serious look at the situation. Don't panic immediately because it will just add up to your worries and if you are worried you just tend to disregard the problem until they are piled up and you wake up one day with more debts and you are broke. Get your bank books, credit card, all the billings you can get (include the past billings) and analyze them.
Three steps to survive economic difficulty
Bank books - Savings
Check the withdrawals and the deposits. Are you short of cash? Is the cash inflow (the deposits) always negative comparing to the cash outflow (withdrawals). If this is the case , then look at the times when you have lots of withdrawals. That is why there is a need to keep all the receipts when you buy something, so that you can monitor your expenses well. The soonest time possible that you detect a negative cash outflow in your bank account, you need to find a solution.
Check on your debts and credit cards
Are you religiously paying your debts like car payments, house, insurance credit cards etc? Car, house, insurances are fixed payment except when there is an increase in the interest rate, that is why it is important that you read all the terms and conditions of all your contracts with the company you are indebted too because a rise in the interest rate makes you pay more. When you have a loan always think of the interest rates, whether they are fixed or not.
Utilities and basic consumption
Check your consumption on your utilities like electricity, water and food. After analyzing the trend of your bills pertaining to this, look at the necessary items that need to be eliminated or you just need to cut back a little on it.
2. Plan a budget: After checking your financial status and analyzing it, you need to plan a budget and stick to it. Consistency and determination is needed here, plus patience. Set a timetable and work on that plan. If you plan to eliminate debts in say twelve months, do it paying attention to the money which will be left for consumption. Even if you are paying debts it is advisable to also save. You might ask yourself, how can I save when I have many debts and I need to live also? That is why a careful planning is needed to accommodate these three things, savings, debt payments and consumption.
3. Ask the help of your family on the matter specially the spouse. Assign somebody to always check on the air-conditioning/heater unit. Live simply specially on foods, cut back on unhealthy foods like sweets/chocolates/ice cream. They are not nutritious anyway. Always enjoin every member of the family on the effort to save .
Yes it is possible living simply and still paying your debts. In the long run after overcoming your financial difficulty, you will smile and you are going to be proud of yourself. You will get there and in no time at all.
I agree with carolina muscle. Living simple is better living. We need to convey that to the young people of today. The days of the high roller are over. Things are getting tight for everyone. The sooner we all learn to cut corners the better. Thanks for putting this out there.
Good advice thanks for sharing
I've eliminated all but one of my credit cards--my Capital One as I know the importance of having at least one credit card (2 is the max, I believe). It helps to have one whenever I travel, like for renting cars, booking hotels, flights, etc. I also find that it is absolutely essential if you want to purchase things online. Thanks for all of the tips, Pretty! I appreciate it!
Living simple is living better! Great hub!

HONG KONG--(Marketwire - May 16, 2012) - Today, www.BrightonMarkets.com announced new reports highlighting GeoResources, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEOI) and Tidewater Inc. (NYSE: TDW). Gain market insight with full analysis and research downloads available at www.BrightonMarkets.com/index.php?coa=GEOI&cob=TDW.
Economic fundamentals leading into 2012 have set a generally positive pace with GDP growth likely to pick up through the coming year. However, there are several important caveats to note as the world economy continues to face headwinds and risks weigh to the downside. Positive outlooks are conditional on fiscal policy in payroll taxes and unemployment insurance benefits and upon the easing of the European debt situation. A repeat of volatility experience in 2011 is likely in 2012, as perceptions about the strength of the U.S. economy and the euro zone will vary over time as events unfold.
Despite the current situation, our team continues to identify high momentum situations with growth potential -- there remains strong opportunity within careful discretion.
Brighton Markets is releasing new coverage on GeoResources, Inc. for its current position within the basic materials industry. GeoResources, Inc. is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition and development of oil and gas reserves through an active and diversified program which includes purchases of reserves, re-engineering, development and exploration activities primarily focused in the Southwest, Gulf Coast and the Williston Basin areas of the United States.

The Student Assistance Program Goals and Objectives
The Student Assistance Program is a proactive rather than a reactive program designed to intervene with young individuals in need of support. It is based on the recognition that personal problems can debilitate a student's potential to achieve maximum performance in the learning environment and in life, and that professional intervention with students experiencing life-disrupting problems is usually late and sporadic.
The original design was modeled after Employee Assistance programs that operate in the industry. While remaining consistent with that concept the operating model has evolved to provide early intervention to students in a wide range of issues. These include substance abuse and chemical dependency, interpersonal skills, peer relationships, dysfunctional families, stress, and growth and adjustment. In addition, the program has become the vehicle whereby these issues are brought to various classrooms in an educational setting, and it has also emerged as the catalyst for structuring group counseling experiences for those students who have been identified as in need of this type of support.
Goals of the Student Assistance Program:
The operational goals of the Student Assistance Program are:
• To provide prevention and education services to all students, either in small groups,
workshops or other formats.
• To provide an intervention service for those students who are identified as having substance
abuse problems.
• To provide an intervention service for those students who are identified as having
difficulties dealing with stress, dysfunctional families, peers, and personal and school-
related adjustments.
• To provide short-term counseling for those students who are identified as being in need of
such service.
• To screen students for referrals to outside agencies.
• To provide educational and training services to the school, community in areas of substance
abuse issues, interpersonal skills, group counseling, and stress management.
• To train and counsel student clients in effective techniques for managing stress, substance
abuse issues, dysfunctional families, and peer relationships.
• To assist students in developing a positive self-concept.
• To train and counsel student clients in interpersonal skills.
• To organize and implement peer leadership groups; such as SADD, VKAT, VTLSP, and/or OVX

You needed 2 PCs and a standard $10 null modem. You didn't need Windows, although most people used it on the coding PC.
The need for two PCs was because of the debugging. Any time you hit a breakpoint in the debugger, it would stop the entire OS. Doing this made debugging multithreaded code MUCH easier. Also, putting the debugger on a seperate machine meant your code wasn't trashing the debugger as it ran. It was an expense, but, you didn't need anything fast for the 2nd machine. I just used my old 286 as the debugging machine.
GEOS wasn't hard to develop for at all. The APIs were VERY nice actually. The UI in particular was so much easier to develop for than any other UI toolkit. The myth of GEOS being hard to develop for was created by people who spent a lot of time learning MFC and didn't want to admit that it wasn't very good.
As for my basis of comparison there, I spent a summer trying to learn Windows coding with Visual C++ 1.0, not really making any progress. I then got the GEOS SDK, and within a few weeks impressed Geoworks enough to get an offer for an internship the following summer.
I'm still so spoiled by the ease of the GEOS APIs that I won't go near Win32/MFC.
