Selle Italia Flite Friction Free Flow Saddle
Considered a classic by Selle Italia itself, the Flite saddle line displays the brand's expertise at employing sleek, minimal aesthetics without neglecting subtle details that make your ride more comfortable. The Flite Friction Free Flow Saddle distinguishes itself from the rest of the line with its aggressively contoured nose and Flow pressure relief cutout along the middle, both of which promote comfort but also contribute to the saddle's impressively low weight. The combination of these qualities makes the Flite Friction Free Flow ideal for road racing, training, and even weight conscious cross country racing. The Flite Friction Free Flow sits atop titanium rails, which strike a balance between being weight and durability without the cost or torque wrench requirements of carbon. Atop the rails and cover, Selle Italia adds extra padding to this model, but in this case, extra is in comparison to Selle Italia's completely firm race saddles. That means the Flite Friction Free Flow a lightly padded model that doesn't veer anywhere near gel padded cruiser saddle trampolines. The saddle is wrapped in a Fibra Tex cover that provides a smooth, durable surface to protect the saddle from the elements and ensure it wears well over the miles. The contoured shape of the nose frees space to better accommodate pedaling legs, lessening the likelihood of chafing or irritation against your inner thighs on longer rides. Further addressing comfort, the cutout channel along the center of the saddle serves to both relieve pressure as well as promote healthy circulation whether you spend the majority of your ride in the drops or constantly move around.

African-Americans struggled in the face of discriminatory laws, particularly after the United States Supreme Court legalized racial segregation.
Despite the difficulties, blacks were opening businesses, gaining college degrees and making progress. W.E.B. Du Bois collected evidence to assess progress in the thirty-five years after slavery was abolished.
This photograph, of a horse-drawn carriage in front of a black-owned business, was part of his evidence.
The Library of Congress provides more detail about Mr. Du Bois, his study and the evidence he presented at the 1900 Paris Exposition:
Included in an award-winning exhibit at the Paris Exposition, this photograph--one of 500 - was part of the evidence collected under the direction of W. E. B. DuBois to illustrate the condition, education, and literature of African Americans at the turn of the twentieth century, only thirty-five years after the abolition of slavery.
In his own description of the exhibit, DuBois noted that by 1900 African Americans owned one million acres of land and paid taxes on twelve million dollars worth of property.
In addition to photographs about black-owned businesses like this one in Georgia, the exhibit included a number of images related to successful black businesses elsewhere. (See "The Booker T. Washington Era, Part 1: Education, Economic and Social Progress," included in African American Odyssey: A Quest for Full Citizenship, an online Library of Congress Exhibition.)
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said the following of Du Bois:
History cannot ignore W.E.B. DuBois because history has to reflect truth and Dr. DuBois was a tireless explorer and a gifted discoverer of social truths. His singular greatness lay in his quest for truth about his own people.
There were very few scholars who concerned themselves with honest study of the black man and he sought to fill this immense void. The degree to which he succeeded disclosed the great dimensions of the man. (Quoted on the back cover of The Wisdom of W.E.B. DuBois.)

Top Chef Season 6 contestant Mike Isabella's restaurant serves Mediterranean and Latin-inspired Italian cuisine. The menu frequently changes based on seasonal produce. Most dishes are tapas, or small plates style, with a few large plates here and there.
Jing and I may have just ordered the wrong things, but we didn't have the best experience here. Luckily we had just come from happy hour at Urbana, or we would have either left hungry, or spent a good amount of money on trying to get full.
On the ground level of the two-story restaurant, there are 2 separate bar areas and plenty of booth seating.
Smoked Beets w/ sheep's milk ricotta & pickled orange, $7: The bright colors of the beets was fun to look at, and the strong smoky flavor brought a great dynamic to the naturally sweet beets. Decent, but as I mentioned earlier, be prepared for the really tiny portion size.
Roasted Cauliflower w/ pecorino & mint, $7: A great dish, but really, something so easy to prepare at home. When I visit a restaurant, it's usually because I want to discover new flavors, be inspired by special twists on common foods, or enjoy something too complex or time-consuming to make myself. While pleasant, this dish fell into none of the categories above.
After skimming through Yelp and Foursquare tips for Graffiato, Jing and I decided to add in an order of flatbread with pepperoni sauce. It was mentioned over 100 times in Yelp reviews after all. This was incredibly disappointing. The flatbread did have a nice char to it, but it was severely lacking in flavor (I usually run from sodium, but in this situation, it would've been greatly welcome). The "pepperoni sauce" tasted like tomato marinara, and I'm not sure if it's prepared with pepperoni, or why it is named the way it is, but either way, it's misleading.

This pitcher is definitely John's, because there is his chop below the handle. I am thinking it is very early work. I don't have anything that looks like this and I have some pieces going back to the 80's that he and Bill Van Gilder made when they were working together. I am thinking this is perhaps from the 70's.

Efficacy of Bark and Leaf Extracts of Zizyphus rugosa Lam. Against Clinical Bacterial IsolatesAuthor(s): Vinayaka KS, Shravanakumar S, Roopashree AC, Sandeep Otari M, Praveen Kumar SV, Swathi D and Prashith Kekuda TR
In the present study, the phytoconstituents and antibacterial activity of methanol, chloroform and hexane extracts of bark and leaf of Zizyphus rugosa Lam. was investigated against two pathogens, namely Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, isolated fromclinical specimens were studied. Preliminary phytochemical tests showed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, steroids, saponins and flavonoids in methanol extract of leaves while terpenoids, alkaloids, steroids and saponins were detected in bark extract.All the solvent extracts exhibited antibacterial activity as revealed by zone of inhibition formed around the well. Among isolates subjected, marked inhibition of S. aureus was observed at lesser concentration than E. coli. The leaf extracts were found to inhibit test bacteria at low concentration than bark extracts. Overall, among extracts tested, methanol extract was found to be more potent than other extracts.Methanol and chloroform extracts of leaf and bark inhibited S. aureus at a concentration of 2.5mg/ml while hexane extract revealed MIC of 5mg/ml concentration. The antimicrobial activity of solvent extracts of leaf and bark of Z. rugosa might be possibly due to the presence of the phytoconstituents in the extracts. Since the study involved the clinical isolates, which are among most noted antibiotic resistant bacteria, the extracts could be useful in the treatment of the infections caused by these bacteria. Further experiments are to be conducted to isolate active principles from the extracts and to determine in vivo antibacterial efficacy of phytoconstituents against antibiotic resistant clinical pathogens.

Are you in the market for a new or used vehicle? With some simple planning, you can be on the way to a painless car-buying experience with National Police Credit Union's auto loan options!
1. Shop Around for the Best Auto Loan Deal and the Best Vehicle
Before you start searching for your next new or used car, it is a good idea to obtain an auto loan pre-approval from National Police Credit Union. If you are purchasing a new vehicle, National Police Credit Union can help with our "Write Your Own Ticket" program if you are purchasing a new vehicle. With "Write Your Own Ticket", you can apply and obtain approval for your auto loan before you go to the dealership. When you are ready to make your purchase, you "write your own ticket" using the check provided by the credit union.
Once your financing is secure, it is time to start doing your research - this may seem like the simplest advice of all, but many people do not exactly understand how to "comparison shop." If you are in a rush, you might miss a perfectly good deal just because you did not take the time to look both online and in person.
Researching a New Car
If you are looking for a new car, visiting dealerships is a great idea. They stock new cars all the time and are incentivized to quickly liquidate inventory. A great resource to begin your search is car.com. Also be sure to obtain personal reviews from friends and family who have vehicles similar to the ones in which you are interested.
Researching a Used Car
One way to start researching used cars is to patronize multiple dealerships to discuss your vehicle preferences in person. Bring a roster of "wish list" items and questions to each visit, so you do not forget specific information you would like to cover and remember to jot down information to order to keep a running list of options. Cars.com is also a fantastic tool for used cars. You can also easily compare vehicles online by looking for the type of car you seek, along with the specific features, mileage, and price points.
Resourceful websites include:
2. Save Big by Financing Your Purchase with a Credit Union Auto Loan from National Police Credit Union!

Talk to one of our lending representatives for more information on the many options available for you and your new vehicle.
4. Consider GAP Coverage for when Life Comes at You Fast
If you plan to finance your new purchase, you may wish to consider GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) coverage. GAP coverage eliminates the unpaid net loan/lease balance in the event that your car is stolen or totaled, which can save you thousands of dollars!
With good research and careful comparisons, your new or used vehicle can be a wise investment for many years to come. When you shop around for a great auto finance loan rate, that investment can be more affordable than ever!
In the event a vehicle is deemed a total loss, GAP Advantage provides those with GAP coverage a one-time $1,000 reimbursement towards the purchase of a new vehicle. The new vehicle must be financed with the credit union within 90 days of the total loss in order to qualify for the $1,000 payout. A GAP Advantage payout is applied towards the principal balance of the new loan.
*Rates subject to credit qualification and selected term. APR = Annual percentage rate.
**100% financing includes financing up to the purchase price or NADA guidebook valuation in addition to tax, title and license fees, extended warranties and GAP products.

adding new pages to a sitesculptor CMS
I have seen a few posts on this, whilst waiting for SiteSculptor upgrade solution from Webassist, here's a quick and easy way to add new pages to the sitesculptor CMS
(If you are squeamish around mysql and php, look away now)
In my case, I had a page called products.php already in the CMS, and I wanted to add productdetail.php
This is a 2 stage process, you need to add rows to a table in the database, and some php code to your page.
In order to add a new page to the CMS, you need to access the table pcms2_contents.
take a look at the table structure and find a some rows which relate to an existing page, preferably with the same editable regions as the page you wish to add. (image1)
Add a new row for each editable section you require, entering data in the ContentGroup, ContentRefID, ContentUserID, ContentPageName and ParentId fields. (Optionally, add content in the ContentValue field) (image 2).
Repeat this for all of the CMS regions you wish to add
The page should now appear in the CMS admin.
Now add some php to the page.
Wherever you wish the CMS content to appear, add the following line...
(this line relates to my productdetail page, content section.
<?php echo WA_getCMSContent($database_PowerCMSConnection, $PowerCMSConnection, 'Product Detail' , 'content'); ?>

Manufacturer's Selling Price – A Cheap Endorsement That Can Save You Big Money
Unique ID: 0d9d4181-1ed2-47b7-8e0e-eb45264bae03
The cost of any product differs from business to business. As a manufacturer, a great example of this is product stock that you hold for sale. The value of that stock lies not only in the cost of its parts, but in what you'll eventually sell it for – your profit.
But a standard property policy doesn't include that additional value. Even with a replacement cost policy you're going to receive only the cost to "replace" the stock (Note: Many policies will provide a selling price valuation for your finished stock that you have sold but haven't yet delivered). For finished stock that has not yet been sold, this can be a serious area of underinsurance because not only are you losing the true value of the damaged products, it could also take some time to replace those products.
Luckily there's an easy and low-cost solution; you can add a selling price endorsement to your property policy. This endorsement changes the payment you receive on damaged stock to equal the selling price rather than merely the cost to replace. Because of the drastic difference between these two prices – the price to replace vs. selling – all manufacturers and their insurance professionals should have a discussion about the necessity of this endorsement for their business.
Carriers may provide selling price coverage via a policy enhancement or add-on, but be careful that there's no sublimit (e.g. $ 25,000) that reduces what you can collect. The better option is to make sure you have a separate endorsement that applies to all stock and doesn't have a sublimit. The cost for such an endorsement is usually minimal and can often be negotiated for no-cost.
The selling price endorsement is a very simple addition, but not having it can cost you big. It's precisely these types of details that are elemental to your insurance program, and it's attention to these details that makes Assurance your go-to broker.

Chris Christie gets booed by fans after catching foul ball at Mets game
Chris Christie, the New Jersey governor who finds himself getting lambasted frequently, caught a foul ball at Tuesday night's New York Mets game. Like most things involving Chris Christie, it probably didn't end the way he was hoping.
It was a pretty slick move for Christie, catching the ball on a quick hop from his seat near home plate.If you're thinking that might have finally gotten Christie some props, the answer was … NOPE.
[Now's the time to sign up for Fantasy Football! Join for free]
Once the Citi Field fans saw who caught the ball, the boos were swift and loud. Here's a clip from the broadcast of the visiting St. Louis Cardinals, who would eventually beat the Mets 5-0:
Chris Christie caught a foul ball at Citi Field, then got heavily booed and dunked on by a dopey play-by-play guy pic.twitter.com/n2GpN0EEQd
— Chase Woodruff (@dcwoodruff) July 19, 2017
Nope, no love for Christie there. He's made himself a target for some people of New York and New Jersey, going back to the Bridgegate controversy and, more recently, when he closed a New Jersey beach only to be spotted hanging there himself.
The latter provided fodder for Cardinals play-by-play man Dan McLaughlin, who responded with this zinger:
"Nice to see him get from the beach here to the ballpark."
Usually when a fan catches a foul ball, it's cause for celebration. In Chris Christie's case, it was a reason to get owned. Twice. To Christie's credit, however, he gave the ball to a kid seated near him.

The inaugural Festival of Landscape Architecture in 2014 set an exciting new tone for the profession's annual get-together. In 2015 I attended the second festival, This Public Life, amid much speculation as to whether it could be as richly satisfying as the first. The creative directors – Cameron Bruhn, Claire Martin and Ricky Ricardo – are to be congratulated for crafting something different, yet equally wonderful. Over eleven days, with more than thirty events and installations, the idea of a "festival" was realized to its full potential.
Opening the festival's Research Summit at the University of Melbourne, Gini Lee set the intellectual frame for both the summit and the conference to follow, citing Alan Pert's notion that the rigour we bring to our work is more important than distinctions between design and research. Indeed, the presentations that followed over the next three days largely evaded such distinctions. Student work was showcased, including in the This Public Space design competition, with the winning project, Aftershock by Alex Prujean, Katie Nguyen and Michael Cook from Victoria University of Wellington, designing post-disaster resilience into the Wellington landscape. I question the separation of summit and conference, as the mixing of student and professional work is invaluable in creating conversation among people at all stages of their landscape architectural development.
After the summit, the festival officially opened in the "backyard" of the NGV International. We shared drinks in the balmy evening, with a great deal of energy and optimism in the air.
The next morning saw conference participants enter the sweeping, glass atrium-style theatre at Deakin Edge, by the Yarra River, along a springy turf carpet. Mark Frisby and Malcolm Turnbull opened the conference. Yes: that Malcolm Turnbull. As a video presentation by the Prime Minister was played on an enormous screen, the theatre fell silent. Mr Turnbull was actually greeting us, the landscape architects of Australia, telling us that our contribution is valued and committing his new minister for Cities and the Built Environment to working with us. Here was an opening to grasp the professional recognition we spent so much of the 2014 festival collectively pining for.
The conference was a veritable chocolate box of outstanding international speakers presenting design/research, informed by an impressive intellectual rigour and some refreshingly earthy sensibilities. Many threads emerged in the summit, notably from Ana Abram and Maj Plemenitas's argument that in the face of changing climate systems, designers should adopt the naturally occurring conditions of landscape change as tools and models for design. Stephen Perry similarly talked about digitally modelling the fractal self-similarity occurring in natural systems as a design tool, the principles of which conference keynote speakers Carmen Fiol-Costa and Andreu Arriola Madorell also applied across multiple scales of landscape forms. The underlying purpose of this work was the making of better landscapes to support human wellbeing. Natalie Jeremijenko took an exciting, new approach, proposing instead that design practice should be based on mutualism, giving equal priority to the wellbeing of the non-human. That is, all organisms within an ecosystem can benefit from a design input. She showered us with examples, including her wonderful strategies for creating "ooz" (zoo backwards), in which humans and animals share territory.
Issues of the civic naturally pervaded many of the presentations, and Jacky Bowring's talk, titled "Getting Emotional: Landscapes of Sadness and Loss," addressed this thread from a thought-provoking angle. She persuasively argued that rather than striving only to create places to make people happy, landscape architects should also facilitate the experiencing of emotions such as melancholy, sadness and loss. Mart í Franch Batllori similarly argued against a trend toward over-programming, proposing a quieter kind of design by subtraction. The delicate, sensitive projects he shared with us dealt with slow, deep time, and connections with the past that were both delightful and melancholy. His southern Catalonian salt garden, "in which the salt crystals are the flowers," was based on an understanding of both the history and the mechanics of the site as working saltpans in the twelfth century. This project manifested Bowring's "conditions for melancholy" in landscape: leavings, weathering and patina, intimate immensity.
Discussions ensued about love, longing and loss, with Cees van der Veeken asking, "Are we loving the natural world to death?" Contemplating these themes, I wondered: Are landscape architects at heart just environmental romantics? Do we long for the "nature" that we love, but feel we are losing? If only we could have asked the sparrows that periodically strolled into the venue to observe proceedings.
The conference was framed by the need "to better understand public life as an expression of our collective imagination." The conference keynote speakers were mostly international, creating a (no doubt unintended) sense of Australians playing second fiddle. Public life and great design are not exclusively to be found overseas, and nor is the Australian collective imagination confined to our two largest cities. I hope the rest of us will put up our hands to share our contributions to the scope and richness of Australian public landscape life in 2016.
Natalie Jeremijenko's final keynote speech circled us back to Abram and Plemenitas's opening talk, stating that "landscape architects are the intellectual leaders of the twenty-first century," as humanity's biggest challenge is to redesign our relationships with natural systems. Our imaginations inspired, we closed with drinks in the Melbourne dusk.

Fleshlight Girls Tera Patrick and Adriana Chechik now available
Posted: March 12, 2018
The two latest additions to the Fleshlight Girls Signature Collection, Tera Patrick Tease and Adriana Chechik Empress, are now available from Eropartner Distribution and Scala. Tera is not only well known as an adult film star, she is also the only woman to have appeared on the covers of Playboy and Penthouse simultaneously. She has also had a sex advice column in FHM, starred in instructional series School of Sex for Playboy TV, and written a memoir entitled Sinner Takes All.
Fleshlight's Tera Patrick Tease is an exact mould of Tera's most intimate parts and it is available in a realistic flesh tone colour with its own unique and exclusive multi-chamber texture. Each of the six chambers is filled with a different bump or cross-rib pattern, and a Lotus node is included in the third chamber of the insert.
Adriana Chechik [pictured] entered the adult film business at the age of 22 and she was named the 2017 Performer of the Year at the AVN awards. The Adriana Chechik Empress replicates her vagina and features multiple chambers of tight yet supple rings, pleasure nubs, and waves. Fleshlight describes this sensation is as "The same exhilarating rush that watching Chechik's outrageous adult scenes offers – the only difference is you can feel it."
Like all Fleshlight Girl Signature models, these latest launches are made of patented Superskin material for a realistic feel which is also easy to clean and styled like a torch for discretion. For more information visit www.eropartner.com, www.scala-nl.com, or www.fleshlight-international.eu

text: Guest Ireallylovehim Report post Posted July 30, 2017 Hi!I don't know if I am deeply inlove with my first cousin who is 1 year younger. Ever since we were little we've been in a sexual relationship but until now we're both virgin. When we are together at night we automatically start to make out even though our cousins were inside the same room and asleep. I am 23 now and he's 22. We tried to lose our virginity once but failed to do so because were both scared, then the next day I started throwing up. We were both stressed out because of it and when I learned I am not pregnant he promised to never touch me again. I got sad because of it, I don't know if I'm really inlove with my cousin or I am just sexually interested with him. I always want to hold his hand and always be near him. I don't even know if he feels the same way. I think this is wrong so maybe I need some advice if I should move on or anything or how to move on or continue with this feelings I have for him. Thank you in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The self-perception theory, developed by social psychologist Daryl Bem, is a theory of how self-knowledge unfolds. It assumes that internal states are inferences resulting from observation of one's behavior.
Understand how people get to know themselves is important because self knowledge is considered a basis which people use in the process of forming values, preferences and attitudes. Clear self knowledge helps people make decisions in daily life, whereas the absence of well-defined self knowledge can render an individual unable to make these decisions.
The self-perception theory consists of two basic claims. The first claim is that people develop their own attitudes, beliefs, and other internal states by observing their own behavior. For example, if an individual watches many soccer games they can conclude that they are interested in soccer.
The second claim suggests that the individual steps into the role of an outside observer and focuses on the external features of their behavior to determine their own inner characteristics when inner signals are weak or ambiguous. The core of the two claims is that people observe their behavior and the circumstances in which it occurs to ascertain their own beliefs and attitudes.
The self-perception theory has become considerably influential partially because it offers a simple explanation of how self-knowledge develops. Another reason why the self-perception theory has been gaining popularity is that it acts as a foil to the cognitive dissonance theory, the most famous psychological theory of how behavior shapes self-knowledge.
Cognitive dissonance theory, developed by Leon Festinger, assumes that if a person's behavior is changed, his or her thoughts and feelings will change to minimize the dissonance. Festinger believed that when people a confronted with a disharmony within themselves between two factors, they try to redress the balance by either changing the original thought, accepting the opposing thought, or getting rid of the behavior.
The self-perception theory differs from the cognitive dissonance theory in two aspects. Firstly, unlike cognitive dissonance theory, the self-perception theory does not consider that a change in self-knowledge requires some kind of stimulus such as the dissonance reduction. The only thing the self-perception theory requires for a change in self-knowledge to take place is people's willingness to infer their own attitudes and beliefs by observing their own behavior.
Secondly, the self-perception theory states that self-knowledge can be shaped by using one's own behavior when the internal cues of prior beliefs are weak. The cognitive dissonance theory, for its part, claims that people develop self-knowledge only when the internal cues of prior beliefs are clear and run counter of their behavior. Psychologists believe that both self-perception theory and cognitive dissonance theory can be applied to explain how self-knowledge changes under different conditions. The behavior in the self-perception theory that serves to adjust self-knowledge does not conflict with clear initial self-views, while the cognitive dissonance theory assumes that the behavior that contributes to a change in self-knowledge is inconsistent with prior beliefs.
The self-perception theory is able to provide an explanation of how people develop self-knowledge from behavior even when there is no inconsistency between prior beliefs and behavior. For instance, the self-perception theory can account for how people find out that they have an intrinsic liking for an activity that they did not previously enjoy, even when there are not obvious reasons to explain their behavior. Conversely, the self-perception theory can explain how people deduce that they are not intrinsically fond of an activity that they once enjoyed when there are obvious situational incentives that can explain their behavior.
The cognitive dissonance theory cannot explain this type of self-view development because the behavior in question does not conflict with the initial belief. The self-perception theory, on the other hand, can, because it does not assume that initial beliefs need to contradict behavior for people to form self-knowledge.
In addition, the self-perception theory comes into use in many marketing or persuasive techniques and helps explain the foot-in-the-door phenomenon, a compliance tactic according to which a person is more likely to agree to a large request if presented with a smaller request first. Furthermore, self perception processes are believed to be connected with topics such as interpersonal attraction and pain perception.
The self-perception theory is one of the most influential theories of how people develop self-knowledge because it can explain how people get to know themselves under a wide range of conditions.

Andy Murray takes to the court at the ATP World Tour Finals in London next week determined to round off his greatest year with one last title.
The 25-year-old has enjoyed a remarkable season, reaching the Wimbledon final, winning Olympic gold and then ending Britain's 76-year wait for a men's grand-slam singles champion with his US Open victory.Now he heads indoors for the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at the O2 Arena where he is hoping to take the crown at the season-ending finale for the first time.The world's top eight players have fought all season to secure one of the spots available through the world rankings.
The battle continues in London as they try to survive the round-robin group stage to reach the last four, and then the final on November 12, something Murray is particularly looking for to.'The thing that's rare about the World Tour Finals is that it's not open to everybody, it's only the top eight,' said Murray.'Having it in London, it's an unbelievable event. Because of Wimbledon, I'm fairly used to the pressure. You don't get too wrapped up in what's going on off the court, you focus on your job and don't watch too much TV and read the newspapers.''You just go about your business.'

07 June 2019
Minister for Sport Senator Richard Colbeck and Sport Australia CEO Kate Palmer have wished the Australian women's football team the best in their FIFA Women's World Cup campaign.
Minister Colbeck said the 23 players on the Matildas squad had consistently shown on and off the field that they would represent Australia proudly at the tournament in France, beginning with their opening match against Italy on 9 June.
"The Matildas are source of inspiration for Australians, and especially for young girls," Minister Colbeck said.
"Whether it's captain Sam Kerr celebrating goals with backflips, or the entire squad staying behind for hours after matches to sign autographs for fans, the Matildas have proven to be fine ambassadors for their sport and our country.
"They enter this tournament ranked sixth in the world and no doubt millions of Australians will be hoping our team can go well into the tournament and contend for the title.
"I commend the Matildas for all they've done to get to this point, especially the inspiration they provide to the thousands of young girls now taking up football.
"Our Government is a strong supporter of female sport and we will be cheering loudly and proudly as our girls take on the world."
Sport Australia CEO Kate Palmer also wished the Matildas the best, citing a study last year which said the Matildas had one of the strongest emotional connections with sport fans.
"That study was based on measures such as respect, pride, enjoyment and trust, something every team in every sport should aspire to," Ms Palmer said. "The Matildas have proven to be a benchmark team.
"The Matildas captured Australia's attention with an inspired performance to make the quarter-finals at the last World Cup, in 2015, and they've certainly held our attention since.
"A World Cup is a huge occasion, there's no doubt going to be many twists and turns throughout this tournament. We wish coach Ante Milicic and his squad the very best of luck."

Total Life Forever (May 10, 2010)
Transgressive (UK), Sub Pop (US)
Indie/Math Rock/Electronica
After spending the last two years in shelter following the monumental success of Antidotes, Oxford dropouts Foals emerged from the mystery shrouding their recent activity to announce Total Life Forever, produced by ex-Clor member Luke Smith in Gothenburg, Sweden, for UK release on May 10, 2010. Although album previews are limited, Spanish Sahara provides us with a surprisingly downbeat recording, drawing from trip-hop, post-rock and ambient music to display marked changes from the hyperactive guitar pop of Foals' universally well-received past. This track came out on Monday night, and although most have probably already heard this - it'd be a crime not to post such a strong return to the public eye.
No more posting from me probably until Monday, i'm off to Brighton for the weekend, this time not to see a gig - I'm missing the Antlers there tomorrow night!

Will it reach enough people in time?*
Decades of mainstream media censorship of the Billy Meier UFO case were shattered by the publication of a new Huffington Post interview with Michael Horn.
This follows the first major breakthrough, which occurred when a skeptical professor facilitated the first of two presentations in an American university, NAU, following previous attempts to present the information at ASU.
Then we unexpectedly popped up in a WikiLeaks release pertaining to the revelations about a covert intelligence agency.
Those who are new to the Meier case may wonder why all the intrigues and suppressive efforts against Meier – including 23 documented attempts on his life, the most recent in September 2015. The simple answer is that the truth is too threatening to the powers that be, the various religious, political, governmental, military, corporate, economic interests, etc.
The largest UFO organization, MUFON – which is also an intelligence agency asset – forced cancellation of a presentation in Kansas City. Make up a story about being "abducted by aliens" and get front page coverage. Tell the truth about the still ongoing contacts between Billy Meier and the Plejaren extraterrestrial human race – now spanning 75 years – and be prepared to be ignored, or attacked by every skeptic, and crazy know-it-all. Until now.
The Stakes Are High
We are a short time away from the presidential election and we already know what Billy Meier's point of view is about the two major candidates and what awaits America as a consequence of our own long-standing policies.
One of the first principles of the spiritual teaching is to see things exactly as they are. In these volatile times there is the temptation to instead see them as being either better or worse than they are. And there's the ever-increasing tendency towards escapism of every kind, from virtual reality to projecting all of one's hopes and dreams on the equally illusory tales spun by politicians, so-called leaders, religions and belief systems, etc.
It's often said that people don't change for the better until the pain is great enough. The wise among us will instead recognize the true state of affairs and choose to learn more about the way to live.
Hopefully this article in the Huffington Post will introduce many more people to the most important true story in all of human history and the key to our future survival…which is why they came here.
*NOTE: This article actually appeared – briefly – in the news section of the Huffington Post, on October 17, but was…removed because it was "too controversial". They agreed to re-post it today in this section.

Not the best start when you turn up at 5 to be met by a big ass que…then when you get it in its way too rammed by the time you get to room one- you've already elbowed 10 pairs of sunglasses of the numerous Italians… so checked out room 3 which was absolutely rockin…after an hour or so i braved it back to room 1- by this stage it had cleared up and so it began. All in all really good night here are a couple of highlights of his set/ or as close as i could get!
Humanoid -Stakker Humanoid (12″ original) zippy
Cool tune with heavy robot samples Beastie Boys Intergalactic in there, good crowd plaeser.
Laid Back – A white horse (re-edit) zippy
Awesome tune a personal highlight of the night,a different re-edit of this tune was played.
Playgroup- Behind the Wheel zippy
Ricardo played an edit of the original, Dave Gahan was on the vocals so it wasn't the playgroup remix. The version played had tonnes of groove and lots of perc, anyone have links, stick them up?
Work …work …work ….the manly version of lil louis french kiss.
Martinez- Le Cirkus zippy
Great tribal showing the great versatility Martinez productions offer.
Sanasol – Tambourine man zippy
BIG TUNE ALERT, wasn't played at Fabric but has been in his crate over the last couple of months. A summer re release may be on the cards for this one, its a bomb.

|This paper is part of a multiwavelength study aimed at using complementary photometric, polarimetric and spectroscopic data to achieve an understanding of the activity process in late-type stars. Here, we present the study of FR Cnc, a young, active and spotted star. We performed analysis of All Sky Automated Survey 3 (ASAS-3) data for the years 2002–08 and amended the value of the rotational period to be 0.826518 d. The amplitude of photometric variations decreased abruptly in the year 2005, while the mean brightness remained the same, which was interpreted as a quick redistribution of spots. BVRC and IC broad-band photometric calibration was performed for 166 stars in FR Cnc vicinity. The photometry at Terskol Observatory shows two brightening episodes, one of which occurred at the same phase as the flare of 2006 November 23. Polarimetric BVR observations indicate the probable presence of a supplementary source of polarization. We monitored FR Cnc spectroscopically during the years 2004–08.We concluded that the radial velocity changes cannot be explained by the binary nature of FR Cnc. We determined the spectral type of FR Cnc as K7V. Calculated galactic space-velocity components (U,V ,W) indicate that FR Cnc belongs to the young disc population and might also belong to the IC 2391 moving group. Based on Li I λ6707.8 measurement, we estimated the age of FR Cnc to be between 10 and 120 Myr. Doppler tomography was applied to create a starspot image of FR Cnc.We optimized the goodness of fit to the deconvolved profiles for axial inclination, equivalent width and v sin i, finding v sin i = 46.2 kms−1 and i = 55◦. We also generated a synthetic V -band light curve based on Doppler imaging that makes simultaneous use of spectroscopic and photometric data. This synthetic light curve displays the same morphology and amplitude as the observed one. The starspot distribution of FR Cnc is also of interest since it is one of the latest spectral types to have been imaged. No polar spot was detected on FR Cnc.

SMB SG 1 Energy efficiency and renewable resources
SMB (Standardization Management Board) approved the nomination of Jun-Young Choi, a Mechanical Engineer with a PhD from Yonsei Graduate School, Korea, as the Korean IEC NC (National Committee) alternate member to SMB SG (Strategic Group) 1 where he is replacing Jeha Kim. At present, Choi works for the Energy Technology Centre, Korea Testing Laboratory. In 2006, Choi was a guest researcher in the LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) of the US Department of Energy and Adjunct Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the Korea Polytechnic University.
Choi has an impressive track record of developing energy efficiency S&L (standards and labelling) programmes for household appliances and systems such as air conditioners, refrigerators and dishwashers, relevant performance testing equipment, energy efficiency standards and labelling programmes. His experience will be invaluable in the context of SMB SG 1, which deals specifically with energy efficiency and renewable resources.
SMB DMT (Directives Maintenance Team)
SMB approved the first extension to the term of office for Carlo Masetti of Italy as DMT (Directives Maintenance Team) member from 2012-01-01 to 2014-12-31.
Carlo Masetti is currently Director of Institutional and International Affairs at CEI (Comitato Elettrotecnico Italiano), the Italian Electrotechnical Committee. He is also Vice President ofCENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), a position he has held since June 2009.
Masetti has broad experience in European and International Standardization, having served in the past as Italian Permanent Delegate on the CENELEC Technical Board and as Italian Member in the IEC SMB. He has also been an alternate member of the SMB SG 1, so has an excellent understanding of energy efficiency and renewable energies. Masetti holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Rome and a Masters Degree from McGill University in Montreal.
The DMT is an advisory group to SMB and maintains the IEC Directives for technical work, particularly in respect of the need to ensure harmonization of the IEC, ISO and JTC (ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee) 1 processes. Directives are divided into two parts. The first lays down the procedure for technical work, i.e. how a TC (technical committee) or SC (subcommittee) is constituted, the responsibilities of the officers and how to go about developing an International Standard using the consensus principle. The second provides the rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards to ensure that, irrespective of the technical content, standards are drafted in as uniform a manner as is practicable. Working in the DMT requires considerable knowledge of the standardization process and members often have considerable previous experience, either as TC Officers or experts in a TC.
PC 118: Smart Grid user interface
SMB approved the nomination of Richard Schomberg as Chairman of PC (Project Committee) 118, set up in 2011 to develop International Standards relating to the Smart Grid user interface.
Receiver of the 2011 IEC Lord Kelvin Award, Schomberg has been Vice President Smart Energy Standards at EDF Group Corporate since 2011; previously he was Vice President – Research, North America, and from 2001 to 2009 was Vice President – Innovation Sourcing & Transfer.
As early as 2001, Schomberg "identified the disruptive opportunity of Smart Grids" and has been a key player in the IEC Smart Grid activities, leading the SG 3 (Strategic Group) Smart Grid.
The concept of PC 118, whose task is to develop Smart Grid user interface standards, represents a new approach in the IEC – although in the past there has been a JPC (Joint Product Committee) set up between ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and the IEC. SMB chooses to form a PC when there is a need to be able to deal with a specific task that is limited in scope but that does not fit into the work of any existing IEC TC. Compared to a TC, a PC has a simplified structure with no subdivision into WGs (Working Groups). PC 118's task is to concentrate on the exchange between the demand-side of smart equipment and the grid and the relevant power demand response.
SMB approved the nomination of Volker Hinrichsen as Chairman of IEC TC 37: Surge arresters, for the period 2012-01-01 to 2018-12-31.
In overvoltage situations such as lightning or switching surges, it is important to ensure that the supply of ultra-high, high, medium and low voltage electricity remains uninterrupted. TC 37 is responsible for the surge arresters and other SPD (surge protective devices) that protect electrical supply systems and installations.
Hinrichsen is an electrical engineer with degrees from Berlin Technical University. In 1989 he joined Siemens' Power Transmission and Distribution facilities in Berlin as a Technical Assistant and rose to the position of Director R&D of the Siemens Surge Arrester Division in 1992. In 2001 he joined the Technische Universität Darmstadt as full professor in high-voltage engineering. At present, he is head of the high-voltage laboratories (accredited for dielectric testing up to 800 kV system voltages) and is active in education, research and testing.
SMB approved the second extension of the term of office of Ton Clerkx as Chairman of TC 66: Safety of measuring, control and laboratory equipment, for the period 2012-02-01 to 2015-01-31.
In addition to being a representative of a TC whose work is essentially based on safety matters, Clerkx is also a member of ACOS (SMB Advisory Committee on Safety), in which he represents TC 66. In his daily work, Clerkx is faced with the safety, performance, dependability and repeatability needs of a great range of connectors and cables: industrial connectors, connectors for automated systems, components for the medical industry and renewable energy sectors, together with a broad variety of test and measurement accessories.
The market for equipment within the scope of TC 66 is growing. It is used in a wide range of industry and educational establishments and by users with very different levels of technical knowledge. Manufacturers therefore rely on the International Standards of TC 66 to ensure that their products are safe and demonstrably meet national safety regulations, while for users, the standards provide assurance.

The Poetic X, a musical rap group has associated itself to the call to donate blood by persuading many people to donate blood in their large numbers.
The Poetic X compose of two artists namely; Bilal and Ayo who have made it a duty to call on people to come and donate blood to the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital (EFSTH) in Banjul.
Visiting the hospital, it was observed by this reporter that people were coming in groups to donate blood to the hospital.
Speaking to Poetic X, they said this is not the first time for them to do this at the EFSTH because it is now a norm for them that before launching any of their albums, they have to give back to the society through participatory approach. They added that any time they make shows, they take certain percentage of the proceeds back to the society. According to them, they embarked on such an initiative in order to promote blood donation and raise awareness of people in the society about blood donation.
Speaking to Hospital officials, they all held that blood donation is very good because it is saving the lives of those in need of it especially those in maternity and will always be safe for those doing it. Blood donation according to them is very precious and that everyone is called on to do donate blood especially the young. They also expressed profound gratitude to Poetic X group for the wonderful services they have been doing in the country.
Speaking to some of the donors, they all held that it is a matter of utmost necessity that donating blood is ensuring the 'continuity' of people.
Modou Sanneh, one of the donors said he did the donation with feeling that "it is always better to save life". He added that the unavailability of blood in hospitals has cost many deaths in hospitals. He added that increasing the supply of blood in hospitals will help to reduce the death of many people.

Series: Bloomsbury Publishing
Shakespeare in London offers a lively and engaging new reading of some of Shakespeare's major work, informed by close attention to the language of his drama. The focus of the book is on Shakespeare's London, how it influenced his drama and how he represents it on stage. Taking readers on an imaginative journey through the city, the book moves both chronologically, from beginning to end of Shakespeare's dramatic career, and also geographically, traversing london from west to east.
Each chapter focuses on one play and one key locatio, drawing out the thematic connections between the place and the drama it underwrites. Plays discussed in detail include Hamlet, Richard II, The Merchant of Venice, The Tempest, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. Close textual readings accompany the wealth of contextual material, providing a fresh and exciting way into Shakespeare's work.
'Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies seem to take place everywhere but Elizabethan London: Athens, Elsinore, Ephesus, Rome, Troy, Venice, Verona. This engaging book shows, contrary to received tradition, how deeply Shakespeare's experience of life in London inspired the themes and scenes of plays purportedly set elsewhere.' Lena Cowen Orlin, Professor of English, Georgetown University, USA

In 1938 every actress from Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Joan Fontaine to Heddy Lemar all wanted to play the role of Scarlet O'Hara in David O. Zelnick's epic film "Gone With The Wind." Vivienne Leigh beat out the competition, as the British beauty landed the role that made her a true star and forever an icon. In 1949 it was 20th Century Fox's "All About Eve," which Bette Davis managed to garner just months after departing from her iconic spot at Warner Bros. Studios. But now the question burning on the minds of fans of the hit novel "Fifty Shades Of Grey" is, who should portray the sexy role of Christian? Highlight Hollywood says it's down to these three hunks; "True Blood's" Alexander Skarsgard, film star Ryan Gosling and "Vampire Diaries" stunner Ian Somerhalder. Who do you choose?
Alex Skarsgard has already declaired, "Where do I sign?" After the handsome swede found out about Christian's sex chamber in the upcoming film, he compared it to Eric's dungeon in Bon Temps. "He's got a sex chamber? My character has that on 'True Blood.' He's got his little dungeon," said sexy Alex. Adding, "I was born to play that part."
So, which guy is your choice?

AUGUSTA COUNTY, Va. (WHSV) — March is National Peanut Month, and to celebrate, the Virginia Peanut Board and the Virginia Peanut Growers Association are donating jars of peanut butter to Virginia food banks.
As part of their donation, the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank will receive over 1,400 jars of peanut butter to give to those in need.
Abena Foreman-Trice, director of communications for the food bank, said peanut butter is an important staple they provide because it is great source of protein and can last long on the shelf.
"It's a very important donation to the food bank," Foreman-Trice said, "because it's one of the items that we list as a most needed food item whenever we talk to the public about ways that they can make donations and ways that they can help the individuals and families that we serve."
Foreman-Trice said when it comes to helping families, peanut butter is an easy way to get children the protein they need.
After the holidays, Foreman-Trice said the food bank tends to see a decline in donations, and they hope National Peanut Month will bring awareness to the food bank's need.
"It goes pretty quickly and that's why we do need a steady supply coming in," Foreman-Trice said. "We think people seek peanut butter because frankly it's tasty and it's easy. It's an easy source of protein to take in."
In addition to National Peanut Month, the food bank is also celebrating National Nutrition Month, and they are looking to see more donations of canned fruits and vegetables.

<Insert whiny post about how mute system is ruining Dota 2>
General Feedback in a shellnut.
<add some "brilliant" "ideas" on how to "fix" something in it based on biased speculations about how the system works>
Also this.
Because the 100+1 threads about mute ban dont actually say anything about how pissed the community is about it, amirite? It's not like a "perfect" muting system would cause so many hate threads right?
A system of a "necessary evil" kind will always generate quite a good amount of hate. Without extensive statistics, no one can say if it's "too much hate" or "just about right amount".
I never claimed the muting system is perfect, just that I'm tired of seeing General Feedback full of the same old shit.
<insert reply describing how the system is flawed and open to abuse, while the usual way of muting individuals if you care to do, does not cause unintentional or unfair mute bans>
<insert counter-reply claiming the poster must have done something wrong to have been banned>
<claim innocence sharing a match ID that plainly shows the aforementioned person was being the bigger man, but was ganged up on by a group of friends who spent all of their efforts into harassing a solo-queued teammate, provoking an emotional response>
<ignore post concerning match ID, create this thread and repeat second reply to posters who also have the same complaints as the first reply>
This thread is just stupid.

Portfolio Update
The cobbler's kids have no shoes.
Always ironic, almost always true.
I don't know about you but I just get so in the weeds trying to create for clients that I forget to create for myself. I love what I do so much I can't imagine doing anything else. I love art. I love creating. I love problem-solving and consulting and advising clients on how to tell their stories well and how to market their brands… but then I completely ignore my own story and my own brand.
I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I'd venture to guess this is part of the struggle for the creative professional. A constant combat against the creative resistance that only gets more intense the closer to home you fight.
So the new site. Simple, clean and easy to update.
I purchased a theme from themeforest.com, wiped my server and started with a fresh install of WordPress. I scrapped all my previous portfolio work and have brought forth only my favorite projects. The work on the site is the best of my best. It represents the work I felt most alive creating and the kind of work I would love to continue creating. (It's also the work I could prep quickly for the web without having to re-download 1000 assets.)
Thanks for stopping in. Please contact me if you have questions about any of the projects here or if you find something broken or misspelled (I'm an artist, not a copywriter).

WASHINGTON — U.S. residents with green cards, parolees and some Canadians will have their fingerprints checked every time they re-enter the U.S. by air or sea.
The new security checks announced Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security are part of the so-called US-VISIT program, which requires border-crossing documents to include a digital photograph and two fingerprints. The program, which currently has 61 million people enrolled from countries except Canada and Mexico, is being slowly phased in.
"We have a lot more steps along the way," said Bob Mocny, acting director of the US-VISIT program.
Mocny estimates that the new requirement, which will take effect Aug. 28, will add 1 million to 1.5 million enrollees.
The purpose of the program is to make sure that their travel documents aren't forged and to screen out criminals.
Under US-VISIT, the U.S. government has caught 1,100 criminals at ports of entry, Mocny said.
There are between 8 million and 12 million legal permanent residents — or green-card holders — in the United States. But only a fraction of them travel outside of the country, Mocny said.
Canadians who cross the border to shop, visit or take a holiday won't need to enroll in the program, according to the proposed rule published in the Federal Register.
Canadians required to enroll — including nurses, agricultural workers, students and religious workers — will only have their fingerprints checked at land ports if a Customs and Border Protection official questions the validity of their documents, Mocny said.
Everyone who re-enters the U.S. through an airport or seaport will be checked, he said.
The program won't apply to Mexicans coming into the U.S. with a border crossing card.

Happy new year! It's 2015 and The Real World is still growing in your cable box like kudzu. Some things never change.
Episode 3 starts out with Jason streaking through the house. Nicole remarks that she has no desire to see his "anaconda." The other girls are also unimpressed.
By this point, the house has split into factions. Madison and Violetta have thrown their support to Sylvia in Bruno and Sylvia's falling out over each other's wandering eyes, and they go out on the town. Carla, another one of Bruno's interests is coming over with her friends, and they want no part of it.
The girls are drinking like Prohibition is about to start the following day. Violetta has an alter ego, Clarisse. Clarisse awakens and takes over Violetta's body after a few drinks. We all have a friend who turns into Clarisse. This is Clarisse.
Clarisse, Sylvia and Madison arrive back at the house so intoxicated that they are barely able to speak English. Just another mundane day at the Real World house. They have also lost their keys, which allows time for Bruno to whisk Carla away from Sylvia's prying eyes. Tony sacrifices himself to the dubious cause of furthering the Bruno/Carla mashup. He distracts Sylvia by occupying her lips, which upsets Madison. Then Clarisse kisses one of Carla's female friends.
Then Sylvia kisses Carla's friend.
Everyone else sits around and watches the show. Jason is all smiles while Madison seems more into her Pringles.
The next morning Clarisse is nowhere to be seen. Violetta has wrestled back control of her mind and body from Clarisse and she is not happy. The boys are teasing her about her cray cray from the previous night, and Violetta pops off at Jason.
Then the roommates go kayaking and on the car ride there, Jason blurts out that he is having a daughter with a woman with whom he has no emotional connection, but since he grew up without a father, he wants to be there for his daughter. This confession came out of nowhere and was probably prompted by a producer, because there has to be a back story for his skeletons. Who will it be? Baby mama? Mama? Daddy?
Tony also confesses to Madison that he has a girlfriend back home. It seems like Madison is better off with her Pringles.
Later that night the girls go out again, and the boys and Nicole go to a separate club. Madison makes out with a guy to get her mind off of Tony, and Bruno picks up another woman named Pamela. The girls arrive home sloshed to the point of no return – yet again. Violetta and Tony get into a screaming match, and the roommates realize that Violetta is someone who cannot be teased. Violetta tells us that she was bullied as a child and she will not take any bullshit from anyone.
Meanwhile Sylvia is so intoxicated she urinates in the confessional. Bruno sees the accident and wakes Violetta up to clean up the mess. Violetta is back in good spirits and thinks the situation is humorous and she and Bruno run around the house laughing.
To take their mind off the tension in the house Violetta, Madison and Sylvia go mud wrestling. Violetta and Madison get squashed like bugs by muscle women, but they are good sports and take the thumping in stride.
Back at the house, Bruno is with Pamela and they make out in the hot tub. Then Bruno follows her into the bathroom and it is implied that they have sex and it lasts only five minutes. Five minutes? Poor straight people. 🙁
Later Bruno tells Sylvia that he and Pamela smashed, and Sylvia puts in a brave face, but you know she secretly wants to smash his face.
Next week the first skeleton arrives. Break out the Pringles and enjoy the show, y'all

- Macomb's Annual Juneteenth Celebration
- Time: 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM
- Location:
Macomb's Historic Chandler Park; Rain locations:
-Jerk Shop Go
-Macomb Arts Center, east side, Macomb Downtown Square
- Description: All members of the campus and community are invited to attend this event celebrating freedom from slavery and oppression.
Featuring food, vendors, speakers, music, fun for the whole family, a professional & summer clothing drive/freecycle area, voter registration, and more!
Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States.
Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order.
However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Grangers regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.

Hay-on-Wye has its books festival, Edinburgh its arts and comedy on the fringe. And Buxton has Gilbert and Sullivan. For the last week and until 21 August, the slightly dowdy Derbyshire spa town will be ringing to the sounds of Victorian light opera.
You can make a little list – there'll none of 'em be missed: just about the whole canon – from a youth production of The Sorcerer, with a cast of teenagers, to the Belfast Light Operatic's Pirates of Penzance – will have played before the curtain comes down. Nearly 3,000 performers and an audience topping 20,000 are expected, spending upwards of £2m.
If performances are not enough there are talks and lectures, including one on Sullivan's music from Robin Wilson, just retired after years as a maths lecturer for the Open University, who was taught to love Gilbert and Sullivan by his father, Harold Wilson, the late prime minister.
"It's a very big occasion now," said Neil Smith, who with his father, Ian, has run the festival since it started 16 years ago. "If you say Buxton every G&S fan across the world knows about the festival. We get visitors from New Zealand and America and we're even exporting it – there was a first festival in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a month ago."
Sure enough, on the pavement outside Buxton's Edwardian opera house there is an excited buzz as the audience gathers, American accents mingling with British, South African and Scandinavian
"I just love the words," said Larry Baylor from San Jose, California, now on his fifth visit." I've loved it ever since my parents gave me a record when I was eight."
Most of the audience, in their cardigans and sensible shoes, are admittedly of a certain age, but not all. It's clearly a knowledgeable crowd, too – if a cast member inserts an "and" instead of a "but" into the text, they know it. Gilbert would have approved.
The liberettist famously didn't like his operas being tampered with, which meant they became pickled in aspic over the years as the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company jealously guarded its repertoire, relentlessly touring the country with increasingly threadbare productions until it folded in 1982 – leaving amateur companies to carry the flag of shows long out of copyright.
Fresher, innovative, professional productions have been tried since, and proved to be wildly popular. Jonathan Miller's version of The Mikado, updated to a 1930s grand hotel, has been a banker for the English National Opera for more than 20 years and Opera North's version of Ruddigore was a critically-acclaimed sell-out earlier this year.
"There is a certain amount of resentment among fans that Gilbert and Sullivan remain overlooked by the arts establishment: not quite grand opera and not quite musical theatre, although their plots and lyrics foreshadowed writers such as Cole Porter and Oscar Hammerstein.
Gilbert's satire is obviously part of the appeal, some of it surprisingly modern. The audience at Iolanthe (written in 1882) gasped with delight when it was announced that the hero, Strephon, was going into parliament as a Liberal Conservative.
Ian Bradley, a theologian at St Andrews University and expert on the pair, said their appeal was part nostalgia and part security. "It's a particularly male enthusiasm, a bit like being steam engine fanatics – sometimes the same people are both. That can lead to a siege mentality: middle-brow, middle class, a feeling that the cultural elite despise the operas, so supporters must protect them."
Ian Smith, a lifelong amateur performer, is worried that something quintessentially British is being lost now few schools mount productions and turn instead to Grease and High School Musical. "This is part of our heritage," he said. "You are more likely to understand Gilbert than Mr Shakespeare. This will teach you music, drama, heritage, history, team-work. G&S should be a compulsory part of the curriculum."
As part of their father and son mission, the Smiths offer support to schools by providing directors and musical accompanists. There are ambitious plans for a G&S discovery centre in Buxton, and of inviting foreign societies to London to perform the operas during the 2012 Olympics.
"Buxton's great fun," said Bradley. "I even had an American woman come up to me and say: 'I have had more pleasure from the festival than from either of my husbands.'"
