Elizabeth Gage's Career Starts in the 1960s
The story of Elizabeth Gage's career dates back to the 1960s where she trained for six years as a goldsmith. She had always had an interest in jewelry and was especially taken with pieces worn by Catherine the Great. In 1968 she was commissioned to create a unique collection for the new Cartier catalogue. From there, she went on to receive numerous awards including the De Beers International Diamond Award, The Queens Award and the Lifetime Achievement award.
Some Say Art, Elizabeth Gage Says Beauty
Gage is commonly known as a remarkable artist who creates exquisite masterpieces using gemstones and precious metals. She is known for creating balance and form combined with color and harmony.
Antiques are Often an Inspiration to Elizabeth Gage
Antiques have always been a big part of Gage's creations. In 1990 she was asked by Lauren Bacall to create an enamel piece in the form of a camel and a Jaiper plaque, which she turned into a brooch. This antique original recently sold for four times its original price.
Elizabeth Gage's Creativity Knows No Boundaries
There is no telling where Gage's next pieces will take us. She continues to create using flowers, shells, the Knights Templar and other nature inspired shapes in her jewelry.

Church of 100 Walls
Religion is not, in essence, about dogma and rituals, but about a search for meaning. The Chapel of San Pedro Calungsod in Cebu, Philippines – nicknamed, for obvious reasons, The Church of 100 Walls – embodies the experience of this search through its very illegibility; its anti-form. With labyrinthine passages and multiple doors, the church is both a mystery and a source of enlightenment.

Today the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held in the Myriad Genetics case that human genes are not patent eligible subject matter, even when isolated from the human body. In this part of its ruling, the High Court reversed the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). However, the Supreme Court also affirmed the CAFC in part by agreeing that synthetically created composite DNA (cDNA) is patent eligible because it is not naturally occurring.
Myriad's genetic screening patents are directed to two genes known as BRCA1 and BRCA2 that can indicate whether a woman has an increased risk of developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer. In determining whether the discovery and use of these two genes constitutes patentable subject matter under Section 101 of the U.S. Patent Code, the Supreme Court has drawn a line between a naturally occurring product of nature (DNA), which it holds is un-patentable, and a composition of matter that is not naturally occurring (cDNA), which is patent eligible under Section 101. The Court took no position on whether Myriad's cDNA patent claims satisfied other sections of the Patent Code, such as Section 102 by being novel, or Section 103 by being nonobvious.
An amicus brief was filed by the United States advocating for the position taken today by the High Court. Over the years the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued patents for thousands of isolated genes, many of which can be used in other types of screening tests. Many of these patents may be found invalid after today's ruling.
While the Myriad decision will prevent the broadest aspects of genetic diagnostic testing (the isolated DNA itself) from being patented, other key aspects of these tests should remain patentable. Today's holding may well strike a suitable balance by allowing researchers to freely use the human genetic code to further advance medical care, while also providing companies the ability to protect their investments in specific applications of particular genes, such as with patent claims that cover specific diagnostic testing methods or alterations of the genetic code. However, the decision by the Supreme Court last year in Mayo v. Prometheus (see MedTech Brief of March 20, 2012) introduces additional challenges in covering such diagnostic testing with method claims that may be deemed to preempt a law of nature.

"Obviously not all conservatives are racists/bigots but all racists/bigots claim to be conservative"- Unknown
This isn't to belittle the writers, the entertainment wouldn't exist with out them, but it's a visual medium and we make our relationships with these characters and stories not because of the written words but because of the energy and personality of the actors we see on screen.
Palpatine apparently wasn't the only resurrection in the film.
The Correlian Corvette/Blockade Runner we see is actually supposed to be the same ship, Tantive IV, first seen in the original Star Wars (The one in Revenge of the Sith is supposed to be a different ship, hence it's differences), according to the Visual dictionary. Apparently instead of destroying it the Empire just had it in mothballs until some guy found it, restored it, and gave it to Leia as a new mobile HQ for the Resistance.
Got to wonder if Palpatine has all the Sith in his head, if Maul, Plageuis and Dooku-who he pretty much all betrayed-are in there. Obviously Vader isn't (although Palpatine did imitate his voice).
chrism227.wordpress.com Info and opinions on a variety of interests.
I know they are cannon, but I have no connection to them, I can easily just keep ignoring them. Palatine died in Return of the Jedi. Both characters are Mary Sues. As a trek fan, I call Micahel, Arc-Angel Michael, Rey is all demigod.The movies are canon. 100%. And how is Rey like Michael Burnham?
it was poorly written, I cringed when they kissed. I think Reylo had some potential but now it is worse than twilight. worse than anakin and padme.They are so different it's not funny. Particularly after this movie. Kylo and Rey have a special connection, it was explained in the movie, what they do regarding each other is peculiar to them.
the kiss was JJ Abrams making reylo cannon for their fan base, (you get the fan service stuff, critics are hating on) for a second and quickly shutting it out. its the only way to explain the bizarre quick death. Also why didn't rey just heal him again? some words would have helped. that kiss is more of a gag reel, than the actual film
the first shot of rey, we see her floating in the air. makes me wonder why Yoda never did that in attack of the clones, He used to use a floating sit.And where did Jedi fly in the movie?? Doesn't sound like you've seen the movie at all. Or Star Trek at all.
Rey Mary sue, can do what Yoda cant.
Disney is pretty much doing the same thing I.e picking concepts that aren't fucking stupid and are of use to the story being told.
"Obviously not all conservatives are racists/bigots but all racists/bigots claim to be conservative"- Unknown
Anakin wasn't mind controlling people, using telekinesis, and definitely not beating up Darth Maul. The only other Force Ability Anakin ever had (but it only made it to the book) was that he visions of the future. In his dreams he saw himself as a dark figure wielding some sort of fire sword.

There are female characters that could easily fit the cringeworthy "Mary Sue" (like Alice in the Resident Evil movies where the director is the star's husband) but Burnham is doesn't fit this and again I have no problem disproving this.
Luke was floating at the end of The Last Jedi. Rey was also doing something similar. Force users have always used the force to defy gravity to a limited extent, like the Emperor straight levitating on the Republic chairs in Revenge of the Sith or Luke force jumping out of the carbonite machine.
Now, the kiss was something that I didn't care for at all. I can't personally defend that.

If Disney/Marvel can do it with nearly two dozen movies then Disney/Lucus should at least be able to pull it off with 3.
Not saying I hated the new movies or anything... they're all at least fun. But a bit more consistency in the direction of things would have been nice.
"Obviously not all conservatives are racists/bigots but all racists/bigots claim to be conservative"- Unknown
Then you have TROS which made a mockery of the Force, inventing new powers that would seem overpowered even in an episode of Dragon Ball Z. Plus, the erasure of the Skywalker bloodline is frankly an affront to the source material that even Disney loyalists are balking at. So don't tell me that Disney is better, you're standing on a pile garbage and trying to tell me it's a mountain.

What were the symptoms of your clostridium difficile colitis? Submit Your Comment
I had Clostridium difficile colitis years ago after being treated for sinus infection. Thinking I had a virus, I didn't seek a diagnosis until it got so bad I couldn't go more than an hour without going to the bathroom. I was admitted to the hospital with a 104 fever. Once they diagnosed C. diff, I got better after the round of antibiotic. Two weeks later, it started all over again. Back to the internist I went. As he explained to me, there is about 30 feet of intestinal track and the infection could be anywhere within it. I had two more rounds of treatment before it completely stopped. I was also put on a low residue diet during treatment. I haven't had any issues since, although if I need antibiotics I tell the doctor before he prescribes just to give him a heads up.
I tested positive for Clostridium difficile back in January and since then tested negative 3 times which is good, but I still feel so sick not with the going to bathroom but just don't feel right. Some days are good some bad, I wonder if this is normal after testing negative. I also think I got an ulcer from all this ordeal. When I eat now I get crazy pains above the belly button to breast, and it keeps me up at night. Last night I thought I was having a heart attack, it was so bad so I went to emergency but they would only check to make sure it is not my heart, and said to see my family doctor. Sometimes I feel like going crazy and feel like I will never get better.
I was a pretty healthy person until this Clostridium difficile colitis got me. I exercise, eat healthy, and am not overweight. I slowly became bloated, had cramps, and was very tired. The pain was so bad I went to the emergency room (ER). I had a CT scan and told I was constipated. I told them about small odd bowel movements that were explosive. I asked if they could test my stool, they said they don't do that but a specialist could, and they insisted I was constipated. They put me on Miralax and a giant jug of liquid to drink every 30 minutes till I cleaned myself out. Of course this did nothing to help. Back to my doctor, I was sent to a gastrointestinal (GI) specialist, who could not see me for another 3 weeks! I begged and got in to see the GI specialist in a week, had the stool test finally, and was found positive for C. difficile. By researching I knew that was a huge possibility, I had the exact symptoms. I just finished a round of the standard antibiotics for C. difficile, Flagyl. I felt better towards the end of that treatment, just less bowel movements, and more energy. Now it is a week since I am off medications and I'm back to square one. My doctor recheck is still a week away. I have to beg to get in again sooner. No luck. Why does a person with all the classic symptoms of C. difficile go untested in an ER! Why don't physicians take this seriously! And why don't doctors do the FMT (fecal microbiota transplant) treatment as standard procedure to cure the patient! Another loud stomach noise, cramps, and bloated night of pain! Best of luck to you all that have this, always listen to your body, be your own advocate to stay well or get well.
I had Clostridium difficile colitis two months ago and took Flagyl and vancomycin. I did not take any antibiotics. The only medications I was on was Flomax. They said that would not cause it. It took me several hospital stays to get rid of it. Now it's back. I'm so upset to have to go through this again.
I am still fighting c. diff. I am really tired of the bloated stomach. I have heard that this is a tough infection to get rid of. I am on my second round of Flagyl for two weeks.

Partial Remission
Friday, May 20, 2011
Back to Big Texas
Wednesday, May 18, 2011
First (Re)Birthday
Close Call
Thursday, May 12, 2011
Diamond, Inc.
To use a boxing reference, I've been on the ropes for the past couple of weeks. I've been taking jabs to the head and the body, weaving and keeping my hands up to protect my face. The important part to note is that my gloves are still up. My body hasn't hit the ring floor. I just hope to hell that the final bell is damn close to ringing, as I have been through enough rounds.
I've had blips of coming back swinging, of standing strong on my own two feet again, but unfortunately they quickly pass. Most of the time on this clinical trial has been spent panting on my stool in the corner, wet towel on my head and water being squirted into my mouth between rounds – my coaches shouting motivational clichés at me.
My second cycle of the trial drugs, Panobinostat and Everolimus, began on April 29, though that doesn't really mean anything beyond written study protocol. I have been on the trial for 41 days total and my pills were held back for a total of 14 days due to my baby white blood cell (neutrophil) count being below 1,000 or because the side effects were just too much.
Since I've been home, I've received Neupogen shots twice, which has helped to bounce my counts back up within a day each time and gotten me back onto the drug calendar schedule. This has allowed me to be off the drugs for no more than four days at a time.
I'm proud to stay that my platelets and red blood cells, though low, have held on and I still have not had to receive any blood transfusions. Somehow my bone marrow is still working.
However, this clinical trial has not been a breeze by any means. Yes, I've escaped dreaded mouth sores and my hair isn't falling out, but the fatigue is tremendous. I have a very small energy tank and a very low appetite. My weight is down by 10 pounds since I started the trial April 1. There are tender areas on my rib and hipbones, red dry skin spots, and back aches – hence the boxing analogy. I'm pretty beat up.
But such is the world of cancer treatment. A big factor at play is how much past treatment I've received. Anyone's body would still be recovering from an autologous stem cell transplant, but I've been doing that and remaining consistently on treatment regiments since. Hence, the refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma world. All I can do is adapt. Prime example: looking at a plate full of food makes me nauseous and intimidated, so instead, I dump the entire thing into the blender. This morning's mix was a salad of spinach, strawberries, cantaloupe, and coconut water right to the brim of the blender. This way I can sip in all of the nutrients I need: far more than I'd ever be able to get down chewing and digesting.
Despite how frustrated I can get, I have been functioning remarkably well for what's predicted, I think. There are patients that are off of this trial for up to three weeks without taking the drugs while their bodies recover, so I have the time if I need it. These are such early phase drugs for treatment against HL that everyone is learning as we go. I take my job seriously to report symptoms and to push back when I know I'm not feeling right or when I need to take a break. I am used to taking chemotherapy that has regimens like 1 dose, three weeks off, but this is every day. Three days a week it is two pills a day. That pace gets exhausting and a few times now my body, mind and emotions have given out.
But with those breaks, I've bounced back up. I have been off the pills since Monday. My WBCs are in the toilet, neutrophils at 0.2 as of yesterday. After a very difficult weekend side effect-wise, I declined the Neupogen shot on Monday knowing full well that my body was still recovering from the one it received on Thursday, nevermind both the drugs. After no signs of natural recovery, I took it in the arm yesterday and hope that my counts will be high enough today to get back on the pills.
I take the Panobinostat in addition to the daily Everolimus on Fridays, Sundays, and Tuesdays, so those days are particularly hard for me. Last Sunday night was something awful – insomnia, stomachache, back ache, racing heart. Now I know not to take my pills at 10pm. Bad idea. This is all about experimentation. That's what a clinical trail is, right? What gets me through the tough moments is knowing that going through them will help other HL patients in the future. I am providing essential data to future cancer treatment development. That is a tremendous motivation and honor for me.
The most difficult part of all is the coordination that I have to do. I am now working with three institutions in three different states: Hartford Hospital, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and MD Anderson. I need to keep them all in harmony, up-to-date, informed and be conscious of their time and my time. It is an absolute truth that being a cancer patient is a full-time job and lately my company has grown tremendously – with it have my CEO responsibilities.
It's just like working with different clients. Every one has its own processes, protocols, care practices, opinions and egos. The key is for me to know how to approach each one to best accomplish what I am trying to do. But at the center of each institution is my care. I truly know that I have the best doctors and nurses wanting to do what is best for me at all times. I just wish I could get them all into one room for a weekly conference meeting to go over my case updates. But that won't happen. I am now doing my damn best to conduct this medical orchestra through e-mails, phone calls, voicemail after voicemail, faxes, secretaries, documentation and butt covering. It takes an obscene amount of patience and persistence.
So much of the decision making for my care is in my hands, which is empowering and scary as hell. As much as my medical teams care about me, I am not their only patient and they cannot remember every detail about my case nor are they thinking about it constantly, as I am. I am the only one who sees the big picture, knows the key players, and therefore can manage all of the logistics of painting that picture. Nothing happens in a vacuum so I am constantly conscious of how each puzzle piece relates to another. As Craig says, I'm currently everybody's patient and nobody's patient. I have to look out for myself.
I am incredibly fortunate that my voice is heard and that I am a very respected as CEO of this team. Frankly, I don't think that anyone else wants the job. At this point in treatment I know what I need to reach whatever goal it is I'm trying to tackle and my team has been more than happy to oblige and let me take the reigns. As always, I know my body best, but most recently I've been less shy about stepping into the leadership role to ensure my safety and survival. Never trust a fax (or a fart). And never assume, it makes an ass out of you and me.
That is not to say that I always do this with grace nor that the stress, frustration and anxiety does not become overwhelming. I have lost my shit more than once, but never to the medical teams … as much restrain as it has taken at times, that is not how I roll. "Kill them with kindness" is still my motto – extra kindness to the secretaries as they hold the power. It's my poor inner circle that takes the emotional release. If I did not have my family, friends and my husband to pull me out of my funks and get me back on my conductor's podium, this orchestra would have long ago tooted its last horn.
I have been extremely busy running my own business and staying on my feet in the ring. Though on my off time, I have had some wonderful moments and have been much more at peace in enjoying simple things. I've rejoiced at visits from beautiful friends. I've had some glorious naps. I'm back with Sammy The Dog for walks, cuddling and resting on the lawn in the sun together. I got to hold my newborn niece. We enjoyed a special mother's day with my and Craig's mom and grandmas. I'm back into a regular yoga practice. The Connecticut weather is something out of a child's drawing: perfect temperatures, a blue, blue sunny sky, and everything in glorious bloom. Soon, I will be too.
Next on my docket is to complete all of my pre-allo transplant testing for the fourth time. I head to Hartford for a Pulmonary Function Test today in addition to my bloodwork. One result gets faxed to New York. The other result gets faxed to Texas. Ill be there somewhere in the middle getting a needle in the arm then filling and emptying my lungs into a tube with all my might. I have to pass the test.
I'm currently double booked for a PET Scan in NYC next Thursday and one in Houston, Texas, next Monday to check the drug's progress and see if all systems are go for transplant. Currently I'm trying to smooth out that wrinkle … everyone wants me in their machine for their own – very legitimate – reasons. I'm working each angle, considering all the factors, and making my case (aka brownnosing) both oncologists. Welcome to Diamond, Inc., where customer service shines.

IMS EMEA Newsletter Issue 4 - January 2011
Addressing - no problem
Type B messaging makes the air transport world go round. And the first step towards using this universally useful capability is to obtain an IATA address - a unique seven-letter code that identifies your organisation whenever and wherever it is used within airline-related networks around the world.
The most usual way for a company to get into Type B messaging is to contract with a communications service provider like ARINC, which then applies for an address to the Air Transport Association (ATA) in the United States for a US customer or to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for everyone else. Both ARINC and its main competitor can do this for their customers. But by an accident of history
these codes are informally known as "SITA" addresses, and this has given rise to misunderstanding in certain parts of the world.
"There is a widespread belief in many markets - Russia, Eastern Europe, parts of the Middle East and Africa - that SITA is the only officially acceptable source for a new Type B messaging address," says Laura Petrozziello, aviation solutions sales and business manager for ARINC in EMEA. "We have even had existing customers in those regions try to cancel their contracts with us because they thought they had to do so to comply with national regulations."
She continues: "Though we succeeded in the end, it proved quite difficult to dissuade them. We had to do a lot of work to explain that there was an underlying international standard from IATA, that we complied with it in every way, and that they had a free choice between two suppliers to meet their Type B requirements."
Petrozziello's task is not made easier by the fact that sometimes the misconceptions are written down in black and white. "When Russian organisations, for instance, translate documents relating to this topic, they tend to use 'SITA' when what they really mean is 'IATA' or 'Type B,'" she says. "We hear this in customer feedback all the time."
The ARINC Type B messaging customer base continues to grow across the globe in response to the emergence of demand in the different regions as air transport infrastructure develops. "Africa is the coming continent," says Petrozziello, "and we are significantly increasing our efforts there. But it's the same old story: SITA is seen as the default, and when companies require messaging they don't look any further."
Fortunately, Petrozziello and her team have a trump card up their sleeves in the form of ARINC's IP compatible network. "Potential customers sometimes give us a list of locations they need to reach with their messages," she says. "Can we deliver to Saudi Arabia, to Ghana, to Thailand? We can always say yes, because as long as there's an Internet connection available to the customer, we can deliver. We are not tied to a legacy network to which the customer must be physically attached. We don't work that way - users can connect to ARINC and deliver their Type B messages around the world via the Internet as well."
As the air transport infrastructure continues its rapid advance in places like Russia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, demand for the common currency of communications - IATA Type B messaging - is rising steeply. "We want all these new entrants to understand that they have a genuine choice of provider," says Petrozziello. "What's more, at ARINC we have an infrastructure that is exceptionally flexible and capable of going wherever the Internet goes."

We've been quiet for the past few months because we've been busy on a number of projects. It's time to share some news about the latest developments on the DLL's publishing project, The Library of Digital Latin Texts.
Latin texts of all types, of all eras.
The Digital Latin Library (DLL) is a joint project of the Society for Classical Studies, the Medieval Academy of America, and the Renaissance Society of America. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Scholarly Communications Program funds the project, and the University of Oklahoma hosts it.
We use the word "library" to describe our project because that word's many meanings apply to what we're building: a library of texts and resources, a place where individuals and groups can study and collaborate on projects, a series of volumes published according to a uniform standard, and resources for digital applications.
This space is for highlighting Internet resources for Latinists. The spotlight is currently on LiLa: Linking Latin
The objective of LiLa (2018-2023) is to connect and ultimately exploit the wealth of linguistic resources and NLP tools for Latin created so far, in order to bridge the gap between raw language data, NLP and knowledge descriptions. Read more ….
Facilitating the finding and reading of all Latin texts.

Watch Dolly Parton's 'Coat of Many Colors' Trailer
Dolly Parton's story has already been an inspiration to so many, and now it's going to reach even more people with her new movie, Coat of Many Colors. The icon recently unveiled the official trailer for the film, which will air Dec. 10 on NBC.
Coat of Many Colors, the movie, will tell the story of Parton's childhood based on her song by the same name, which the singer notes is her favorite she's ever written. The trailer begins the story with Parton's large family in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, her mother expecting a new baby. When tragedy strikes and the family loses the baby, a wave of darkness sweeps over them, including 8-year-old Parton, who stops singing altogether. Her mother, played by Jennifer Nettles, takes the baby blanket she was creating out of fabric scraps for the baby and turns it into a coat for Parton, inspiring hope in the family once again.
The trailer alone is touching, so it's sure to be a heartwarming film, even if it does prompt a few tears here and there. Parton says the movie is the first in a set of three about her life, which she hopes will bring back the concept of television programs the whole family can watch together. The next one will be inspired by her song "Jolene."
"We want to create projects for NBC that are both fun and inspirational with a family audience in mind," Parton explained when the deal was announced.
Check out the full trailer above, but a fair warning: you might want to make sure you have a few tissues nearby (just in case).
Parton, as always, is keeping busy with several different endeavors, releasing an album of children's songs, dueting with artists like Don Henley and Jewel, not to mention overseeing her theme park, Dollywood.

Ergen: Comcast/TWC Approval Could Make DirecTV Merger More Palatable
Dish Network chairman Charlie Ergen said if the pending Comcast/Time Warner Cable merger passes regulatory muster, it could make it easier for a combination of the two largest satellite TV players, Dish and DirecTV.
"If you take the No. 1 and No. 4 [pay TV] providers and put them together, it's hard to see why you can't put No. 2 and No. 3 together," Ergen said on a conference call with analysts to discuss fourth quarter results. But the Dish chairman expressed some doubt that the Comcast/TWC deal would receive approval.
"This puts pressure on everybody that in a way is a bit unprecedented," Ergen said. "…Nothing I can see is positive about this. If you are a pay TV provider and your name is not Comcast or Time Warner Cable, I don't see anything positive."

Looks Who's Back by Timur Vermes (book review)
05/03/2016 § Leave a comment
Hitler is inexplicably catapulted through time into 2011 Berlin. Making fast-friends with a well-connected Kiosk owner, Hitler, presumed satirical method actor, lands himself his own TV spot.
Although sardonic quips are amusing, they would be none the poorer attributed to any cantankerous old man. The meta-satirical novel, even on a backdrop of Farage and Trump, doesn't pack enough punch to justify converting Adolf Hitler into a lovably grumpy archetypal grandpa. A distastefully disheartening encounter with a Jewish Grandmother compounds Vermes' failure to deliver a political point. Genuine YouTube clips of Donald Trump do the job nicely on their own, thanks.
"…my daddy used to say that death was the timing of the world's worst comedian and I think he was right"
The shock of the fall by Nathan Filer (book review)
07/02/2016 § Leave a comment
Matt is a sectioned schizophrenic, bound through hallucinations of his disabled brother to the accident that killed him. Matt's acerbic witticisms cleverly highlight bizarre judgements and nonsensical practices too commonly associated with mental illness. Yet, his poetic insights into his own otherness bring home how close to such an abyss anyone could stand, not realising they are about to fall. As more details of his brother Simon's death are gradually recalled, the reader is forced to consider Matt's own dilemma; to struggle out of the grip of insanity would mean killing of the perpetually innocent Simon, once and for all.
"Some madness doesn't act mad to begin with, sometimes it will knock politely at the door, and when you let it in, it'll simply sit in the corner without a fuss – and grow"
The Life of Pi by Yann Martel (book review)
16/05/2014 § Leave a comment
Piscine "Pi" Patel, the Indian son of a zoo-keeper, recounts a memoir that amounts to much more than floating across the Pacific with only a lifeboat and a cantankerous Bengal tiger. Drifting through the Life of Pi is a meditative, theological experience. Delicate storytelling brings waves of comedic happenstance as well as shocking revelations, which can be difficult to read. Martel successfully strikes a balance between adventure and allegory with a shrewd blend of fact, fiction and a few things in-between. Its messages are sufficiently refined and ambiguous to render the story an uplifting one for atheists and believers alike.
The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson (Book review)
27/04/2013 § 2 Comments
Centenarian Allan Karlsson flees his retirement home-imposed birthday celebrations and, through cantankerousness and folly, winds up on the slipper-cloven-shuffle from the authorities with a suitcase full of cash and a trail of corpses in his wake. This books reads like a bad impersonation of a funny story. The title tries too hard to achieve quirky literalism, and it's downhill from there. The result is a farcical yarn that trivialises murder and shoe-horns in ridiculously unlikely political figures; all without the laughs to back it up. With flaws that can't be blamed on translation, this novel is lucky to raise occasional wry smiles.
Mystery Man by Colin Bateman (Book Review)
19/12/2012 § Leave a comment
An acerbic hypochondriac and reluctant purveyor of crime fiction finds himself, compelled by the prospect of reward and glory, filling the shoes of a missing private detective. But what begins as a harmless hobby soon transcends into a dangerous murder investigation, with Nazi conspiracies a go-go (albeit suffused with the feminine wiles of self-appointed sidekick, Alison). This novel doubles up as a cynically hilarious parody and genuinely enthralling mystery. The 'mystery man' is fantastic to get to know as he begrudgingly overcomes his reticence, and Bateman's disclaimer about second edition revisions hints at a not-so-fictional basis for a sinister plot, veiled with humour.
600 Hours of Edward by Craig Lancaster (Book Review)
13/11/2012 § Leave a comment
Edward is a 39 year old Asperger's and OCD sufferer living alone in Montana. Coping with solitude and a fraught paternal relationship, Edward relies on his stringent routine of diligently recording seemingly benign data and religiously watching episodes of Dragnet. That is, until an unexpected friendship with a nine year old and enlightening foray into internet dating proves more therapeutic than even the most logical of psychiatrists. 600 hours is to Mysterious Incident what the Wilderness years were to Adrian Mole. It may be less enthralling and inventive, but spending 25 days with Edward is still heart-warmingly hilarious and enlightening.
Yes Man by Danny Wallace (Book Review)
28/09/2012 § Leave a comment
Danny, a recently dumped twenty-something, is in a funk. Prompted by the random words of a stranger, he decides to rid himself of perpetual nights in watching Eastenders by saying 'Yes' more. Specifically to everything, all the time. The results are comedic, bizarre and highly readable. Admittedly, the portrayals of Danny as both a naïve simpleton who believes internet scams, and also an astute philosopher able to mock his own idiocy are a little hard to reconcile. Despite this frustration, and its over-hyped 'profound' message, Yes Man is worth picking up for the Hypnodog encounter and 'lost glasses' incidents alone.

Two ferry workers sue, say work ruined their hearing
Two longtime ferry workers have sued the state, alleging they were exposed to unsafe noise levels that led to hearing loss while working in the engine rooms of different vessels.
George Greenwood, a chief engineer currently assigned to the Hyak, and Christopher Johnson, a relief chief engineer assigned to different ferries, have measurable hearing damage after working for Washington State Ferries for more than a decade, said their attorney, Rob Williamson.
Williamson said the lawsuits, filed last month in King County Superior Court, are part of a larger pattern of complaints alleging work-related hearing damage among ferry workers. He said he has filed 180 such lawsuits since 1998 against the state Department of Transportation, which runs the ferries.
While the state has improved its protection of workers' hearing, it hasn't been enough to protect everyone, Williamson said.
"Even when you do all that you can, this is such a noisy environment that people can get hurt," he said.
The workers most at risk are the engineers and oilers who work in the control and engine rooms. Williamson said the state begin mandating hearing exams for the workers several years ago, as a way to track hearing damage.
He said officials have improved the type of protection for workers -- ear plugs and muffs -- and now require them to wear the protection in certain places. He also said the agency has installed quieter engines on newer vessels and retrofitted older ones with sound-proofing insulation, engine shields and vestibules.
The agency's policy also requires it to regularly monitor noise levels for safety.
Despite those improvements, Williamson said it's "inevitable" that some people will suffer hearing loss. He also said workers say some boats are louder than others, including the Hyak, a mid-sized ferry that is using engines from the Spokane, a jumbo ferry.
"They were screaming loud," he said.
Marta Coursey, a spokeswoman for the ferry system, said the agency has a comprehensive hearing-conservation program that employees are required to follow.
"Employees have a clear role in observing safety rules and regulations in order to maintain their health and hearing," Coursey said in an e-mail.
"(Washington State Ferries) upholds the highest standards of safety for our employees as well as our customers, and we have a longstanding history of ensuring that our engine room employees safeguard their health including their hearing," she wrote.
Williamson said studies that look at noise levels and worker safety usually study thresholds for an eight-hour period. He said those studies shouldn't be applied to ferry workers, because they work 12-hour shifts.
He also said lab settings differ from real work environments, because they don't account for individual use, such as someone wearing glasses, or getting jostled on a boat.
"I'm personally not satisfied that we scientifically really know what's safe," he said.
He said most of his 180 complaints against the state were filed in the late 1990s or early 2000s, which he said is a sign that conditions have improved in recent years. He said the state mostly settled those cases, paying a total of $3 to $4 million to injured workers.

So my computer completely crapped out on me yesterday thanks to a Windows update. My computer restarted itself to install an update while I was getting lunch and when I came back it would freeze every time I started it up. After hours of trying different things, I tried deleting a bunch of stuff. I got rid of at least 40GB by deleting it or moving to my external drive and that did the trick. My computer also seems to be running a bit faster in general.

The installation, From Then On by Italian design duo Formafantasma, explored the passing of time and marked Established & Son's 10th anniversary with a series of four unique timepieces.
One piece was made up of two concentric discs of white Carrara marble. The central disc rotated to show the passing of an hour, with the veins of both discs aligning once in every cycle. Another featured a large pendulum, at the end of which was a small brush that polished a curved strip of brass as it swung. For the third piece, a pair of saxophones played every 15 minutes to celebrate the experience of daily life. The fourth timepiece was a circular fan that opened entirely over the course of five minutes and then snapped shut.
Maurizio Mussati, CEO of Established & Sons, says the British brand believed strongly in "unrestricted experimentation" and so had no hesitation in working with Formafantasma, "a design studio I greatly admire".
"This approach is embedded in our history and never fails in producing incredibly special, powerful pieces," he explained.
The installation took place at the Established & Sons showroom in Islington during London Design Festival, September 13 to 21.
Also on show was Vital Statistics, an installation curated by Mark Holmes, the company's co-founder and its first design director. Focusing on items launched at the 2014 Milan Furniture Fair, as well as recent classics, the display brought out the distinctive qualities of Established & Sons pieces by highlighting details such as dimensions and colour charts.
"It's been interesting looking at Established & Sons again and what it stands for," said Holmes.
"A decade on, the diversity within the collection is very much paralleled by the brand's distinct and singular position within the industry – its identity is as unique as the products it makes."

Just blocks from where we're sitting in Times Square, President-elect Donald J. Trump has been hosting a parade of potential cabinet appointees in the heavily fortified Trump Tower, also known as White House North. The daily drama is being punctuated and animated by Mr. Trump's provocative early morning tweets.
This week on The Run-Up, we devote our show to Mr. Trump's transition into the White House — one of the most unusual and unpredictable transitions in recent memory.
Michael Barbaro is finally taking some time off — he is on vacation this week at an undisclosed location. So I am taking over the microphone this week. I'm the chief national correspondent for The New York Times Magazine.
Joining me from Washington, where I'm normally based, are my colleagues Michael Shear and Julie Davis, two of our crack White House reporters, who are now in their own transition moment, from covering the Obama administration to covering the Trump administration. I'm also joined in New York by Charles Homans, the political editor at the magazine.
We start by talking about Mitt Romney's public pageant to be appointed secretary of state. Why would he be putting himself through this?
Mr. Shear says those who know Mr. Romney say he has "a sense of service, partly because of his Mormon faith but also a sense that he wants to serve the country,"
Given how fiercely Mr. Romney condemned Mr. Trump during the campaign — calling him a phony, a con man, a fraud — Mr. Shear is just as intrigued by the opposite question: not why Mr. Romney would put himself through this process, but why Mr. Trump would even offer him the job.
Ms. Davis has an answer, based on her reporting. "One of the things that we know that he said privately about Mitt Romney is that he seems like he's straight out of central casting for secretary of state, which, coming from Donald Trump, is the highest possible praise."
We discuss what's in store for Rudy Giuliani, whether Chris Christie is off the scene entirely, what to make of Kellyanne Conway's seemingly scripted "going rogue" moment and what, generally, we expect from a Trump presidency.
"I think the institution of the White House and the physical building has a huge impact on its occupants," Mr. Shear says. "It's possible that once they move into that building and once they start flying around on the plane and they're in the East Room, that some of the tradition, some of the things that normally happen that presidents do, will start happening. It will never be exactly like Obama — it shouldn't be, and it won't be — but I think it may be more normal than people think."
We also talk about Mr. Trump's tweets, and the question of how the media should cover them.
"I've been sort of mystified at the notion that we should somehow ignore what are by most accounts completely unrehearsed, un-poll-tested utterances from the mouth of the person who's about to become president of the United States," Ms. Davis says.
"We don't have to retweet them credulously — we shouldn't — we don't have to report them without any context or fact-check element — we shouldn't — but for the most part each one of these things is an important window into the way he's thinking, certainly the way he's communicating with 16 million of his followers, and it contributes to a portrait of him that, frankly, we don't have that many other primary sources to fill out."
"We're in the early stages of an unprecedented experiment," Mr. Homans adds. "We've never had this sort of window on any president before. There are a ton of fascinating implications of that, that we haven't sorted out. What does the steady stream of kidding-not-kidding utterances mean in terms of how we read more formal statements by Trump or by his administration? How does the rest of the world, in the event of a diplomatic incident, read official proclamations coming from the White House?
We end with a lightning-round question: Is Donald Trump having fun?

I think at every age people text and drive, but I do believe that the senior high school or beginning of post-secondary age range would be the worst. In that age, phones are usually a big part of individuals lives and combining that with them possibly being in the earlier years of driving may make them over confident in their abilities and underestimate the risk of texting and driving.
People these days just can't seem to put down their phones — even behind the wheel.
With distracted driving being the number one cause of accidents on Canadian roads today, equating to eight in 10 collisions, choosing to text and drive is a dangerous decision. The National Safety Council Survey reports that approximately 26 per cent of all car crashes involve the use of phones, including hands-free phone use.
While many activities that fall under the distracted category — using your phone and operating your GPS, for example — individuals texting and driving are up to eight times more likely to be involved in a crash than a non-distracted driver.
Some would say texting and driving is more common in teenagers and young drivers compared to other generations. As more rules and regulations have been put into place in regards to texting and driving, the question of which generation is most guilty remains unanswered.
Distracted driving is "the diversion of attention from driving, as a result of the driver focusing on a non-driving object, activity, event or person. This diversion reduces awareness, decision-making or performance leading to increased risk of driver error, near-crashes or crashes."
In 2017, a video was uploaded to YouTube that showed street cameras recording people texting and walking. This video was titled "you can't even text and walk" to show that if individuals are not able to text and walk at the same time, they should certainly not be able to text while driving. This video was created by the Western Cape Government in South Africa, with the hashtag #ItCanWait, to signify that sending one text can wait until you have arrived in order to potentially save you your life, as well as others.
In 2019, stiffer fines and consequences were set for distracted drivers in Ontario in order to minimize the ever-common crime. Drivers that are now stopped for using their handheld device in any regard, such as talking, texting, dialing or emailing, could be fined up to $1,000 dollars, which is nearly double the initial fine. Drivers convicted for a second time will be fined up to $2,000 and six demerit points as well as a seven-day driver's license suspension. Drivers with multiple convictions within five years could face a $3,000 fine, six demerit points and a 30-day license suspension.
Ontario is increasing these laws because of how critical texting and driving has become. In 2017, distracted driving caused the most accidents on Ontario roads and of these, 65 were fatal due to texting. The number of collisions and crashes from texting and driving has slowly been increasing over the years, but some remain skeptical that increased fines and penalties will get people to ditch their cell before they end up in one.
"I think that texting and driving is an issue because people are so focused on replying to text messages and not focused on the roads. People have become so dependent on their phones that they are unable to just drive without going on them," said Taylor Todd, a second year student in Nursing. "Unfortunately, I don't think an increase in fines is going to do anything for the public. I think that if people want to go on their phones or are addicted to them, they're going to do it anyway. Maybe once they get stopped, they'll realize but ultimately, if they want to answer that text, they're going to do it."
However, some are optimistic that the increased fines will encourage drivers to not text and drive.
"I think at every age people text and drive, but I do believe that the senior high school or beginning of post-secondary age range would be the worst. In that age, phones are usually a big part of individuals lives and combining that with them possibly being in the earlier years of driving may make them over confident in their abilities and underestimate the risk of texting and driving," said Brianna Warchol, a second year student in the Child Health program. "I think all people have the 'it won't happen to me' attitude. Even though we often know the real dangers of texting and driving we don't believe it'll happen to us or that we'd ever be involved in an incident because of it."
In Kingston, Ontario, Wiebke Wilkins and a group of staff and dedicated volunteers have taken a unique approach to raising awareness for the significance of the harmful act by starting the Stop Texting While Driving Campaign through Kingston: Partners for a Safe Community.
"At Kingston: Partners for a Safe Community, we take a multi-step approach to combat texting and driving, specifically for the months of May and June. During these months we run billboard ads, programs such as P.A.R.T.Y. and various injury preventions as well as set up stations at major intersections where we count people texting and driving," said Wilkins. "These initiatives are all beneficial for the community as they are able to raise awareness for the effect that texting and driving can have on us. Even with the increased fines and charges if you are caught, this is still a prominent issue in today's society and something that needs to be addressed."
Kingston: Partners for a Safe Community is a not-for-profit organization that has been running for the past 21 years, led by Wilkins, the president and co-founder. Their motto is "to make Kingston the safest city in the world to live, learn, play and work in." This organization seeks to focus on health and safety issues within the community of Kingston. Each year, a new initiative that could be taken within the community is acknowledged and addressed by the police, fire and paramedic departments. These initiatives are funded by the Ministry of Transportation.
As Wilkins stated, one of the several programs and events are held in order to raise awareness for the significance of texting and driving is the P.A.R.T.Y. program. Kingston: Partners for a Safe Community informs teachers of the program and they are able to sign their students up for the day. This program sees various injury preventions talks and presentations given by the fire, police and paramedic departments as well as the Ministry of Transportation. Students are also given a tour of the hospital, to the trauma unit and the morgue, in order to witness how patients would be treated after being hospitalized for distracted driving charges.
Texting and driving is something that can easily be avoided but with the ever present need for communication in today's society, it continues to be an issue. Some tips to avoid texting while driving include; turning off notifications, putting your phone on silent, putting the phone in the back seat of your car or in the glove box, having a passenger text or call for you and pulling over to answer the text if it is safe to do so.
"Texting and driving is still and likely always will be a problem with traffic safety. It is difficult to say if drivers' behaviours are changing. Enforcement is certainly on the rise, and so hopefully there will soon be a shift in decreasing the number of collisions as a result of distracted driving. We see offences made by all ages. We are a society that has shifted toward dependence on our phones and it becomes difficult for everyone to put the phone down especially with constant text communication," said Kevin Hoogendam, a Niagara Regional Police Officer. "Taking our eyes off the road for even just a quick read of that incoming text message takes our attention off the road for too long. Conditions can change suddenly and those few seconds can make a difference. Drivers need to create a plan to curb their behaviours and stick to it. That could be silencing the phone or keeping it out of reach.
According to Hoogendam, there's only so much that new laws and stricter traffic enforcement can do to prevent texting and driving.
"It all starts with our personal commitment to safety. If you know it's been a problem, address it now before you look back with regret," said Hoogendam.

No. 11 UCF, No. 24 Cincinnati collide in AAC showdown
NFL Draft Scout
The American Athletic Conference Championship Game may be two weeks away, but it's hard to imagine that game exceeding the buildup for Saturday's matchup in Orlando featuring undefeated Central Florida against once-beaten Cincinnati.
Kickoff for the nationally televised prime-time affair in Orlando's Spectrum Stadium is 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
The No. 11 Knights (9-0, 6-0 AAC) will put their 22-game winning streak on the line against what figures to be their toughest test yet in the Bearcats (9-1, 5-1), who have won three in a row since a 24-17 loss last month at Temple.
With UCF claiming a "national championship" after finishing the 2017 season 13-0 and clamoring for more recognition and higher ranking this year, the game has drawn considerable national attention. ESPN is bringing its cameras and UCF critic Kirk Herbstreit to Orlando for its weekly "College GameDay" show to kick off the day.
"Five years ago when I walked on campus, I didn't think this was something that could happen, but I'm glad that it did," senior offensive tackle Wyatt Miller said. "Like I said, we're fortunate to play in this game especially in front of this crowd.
"That's a milestone for this university. It's not only big for us, it's big for Cincinnati, it's big for this conference. It's huge. It shows the kind of football the American Conference plays. We're not some kind of small-time league. We are part of the big boys and we're going to show it Saturday night."
Knights coach Josh Heupel, who took over the program when Scott Frost left for Nebraska, isn't exactly downplaying the significance of the matchup, but he also is taking a cautionary approach. He calls all the hoopla "outside noise" and emphasizes maintaining focus.
"We like our program to be in a situation like this where each and every week the games get bigger because you're performing the right way," he said. "So we're going to embrace the opportunity and get our kids ready to play."
In his second season, Cincinnati's Luke Fickell is well aware of the effect the pregame atmosphere could have on his team. Fickell came to Cincinnati from Ohio State, where in 2011 he served as the interim head coach when Jim Tressel was forced to resign.
"First time a lot of guys have been on a big stage like this," he said. "We got to be able to control our emotions again and handle the situation and scene."
Fickell's Bearcats already have a 1,000-yard rusher in running back Michael Warren (1,082) and have a defense that has limited opponents to just over 277 yards per game in total offense, the sixth stingiest in the country. UCF has averaged 271.4 yards rushing alone. Quarterback McKenzie Milton has averaged better than 288 ypg passing.
"It starts with them up front," Heupel said of Cincy's defense. "I think their front four (ends Kimoni Fitz and Michael Pitts and tackles Cortez Broughton and Marquise Copeland) is as good as there is, so it's a great challenge for us in the run game to create movement and create space our backs, but in the pass game as well to be able to protect the quarterback."
Milton leads UCF"s high-octane, up-tempo offense (543 ypg, No. 3 nationally).
"I don't that I've really played against what is that they do, the tempo that they play at," Fickell said. "It's really quite unique. Obviously, you've got a great quarterback like McKenzie, and not just because he's a great runner, but his ability to manage at the pace that they go and make the decisions."
Almost lost in the buildup is what's at stake with the conference race. UCF will clinch the AAC's East Division with a victory. Cincinnati would still have to win its regular-season finale at home against East Carolina to secure a spot in the conference title game.
"There's going to be emotion in the ballgame," Heupel said. "It's going to be electric. But at the end of the day, it's still going to be 11 on 11."


text: Like the fashion of all modern decades (the 1960s dipped into the 1920s and hosted a folk music revival, the 1970s dipped into the 1930s, 1950s and 1960s) 1980's fashion in popular culture incorporated distinct trends from different eras. This helped form a cultivating movement of style. Tracy has helped to provide a source of 80's looks. The Punk look of the late 1970s was influential, rather as the late 1960s "hippies are cool" look had been in the 1970s. The most conservative, more masculine fashion look that was most indicative of the 1980s was the wide use of shoulder tamps (similar to those worn in ice hockey, but perhaps not quite so large or protective). While in the 1970s the silhouette of fashion tended to be characterized by close fitting clothes on top with wider ,looser clothes on the bottom, this trend completely reversed itself in the early 1980s as both men and women began to wear looser shirts and tight, close fitting pants. Men wore power suits (which they sometimes jogged in to work since they were stiff when they were bought) as a result of the greater tendency for people to display their wealth. Brand names became increasingly important in this decade, making Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein household names. In the United States, Madonna was titled the "Material Girl" and many teenage girls looked to her for fashion statements. The popular movie Flashdance (1983) made ripped sweatshirts well-known in the general public. The television shows Dallas and Dynasty also had a similar impact.

Crafting has had to take a back seat just lately – a new role at work involving more hours has seen to that. But a friend's daughter is off to Borneo for a month at the end of the week so I rustled up a quick card to wish her "bon voyage". She loves Borneo's orang utans and this card turned out pretty much exactly as I'd envisaged. I combined two free digital images into one; the orang utan started out hanging from a tree but a little bit of photo editing made it – I hope – seem as though he was waving from behind the suitcases.
I coloured both images with Promarkers, adding a little bit of shading with some cheap W H Smith colouring pencils. The greeting was a standard one in Craft Artist Professional.
I'm entering this into the challenge over at Stamping Sensations, where the theme is "Feature a Creature".
