The Festival acknowledges the current interest in Musical Theatre In 2011 we introduced a whole new range of classes allowing performers to showcase their talents across the three disciplines of Drama, Song and Dance. Now in our 9th year the section is going from strength to strength.
We hope that by providing a Festival platform for individuals and groups to have their work professionally adjudicated that we are addressing the increasing expectation of Examination Boards and Drama schools for all-round performers.
Equally, for those concerned with performance solely as a leisure activity, it is always useful to have some constructive advice on how to build and improve their skills.
Because we think that the performance itself is the most important aspect of any presentation we strongly recommend that entrants use only the minimum of props and a suggestion of costume.

Coverage of the presidential race is all but accosting those who watch the news, but what really matters in the long run is who is voting.
Kim Buchanan, Saline County Clerk, spent this week in area high schools seeing to it that young voters have a chance to register.
"It is your civic duty to vote," Buchanan said. "I wish everyone were registered to vote."
According to state statistics the number of actual voters to registered voters is just barley above the 50 percent mark. In the 2010 Illinois Governor Election of some 7,506,073 were registered to vote and only 3,792,770 turned out to vote, which is about a 51 percent turnout.
"The people need to vote, I am very passionate about this," Buchanan said.
The Saline County office holder is making sure that our young voters have a chance to register before the March primaries.
On Tuesday, Buchanan visited Carrier Mills-Stonefort High School and registered 12 new voters; Wednesday she visited Galatia with 21 new voters and Eldorado with 44; and Thursday, Harrisburg with 48 new registered voters.
Those who turned 18 before Nov. 8 are eligible to register and vote in the March primaries.
"I am excited about being able to vote for the presidential elections," said Alexa Burtis, student at Harrisburg High School. "My family is big into politics."
Burtis shared that she is a Republican and is in support of either Ben Carson or Donald Trump as the Republican candidate but will vote Republican either way.
"I think everyone should exercise their right to vote," Burtis said.
Those who are of eligible age to vote can go online at elections.il.gov or may make a visit to the County Clerk offices at the court house for more information. After four years of not voting your status becomes inactive.
Buchanan says that there are 16,000 registered voters in Saline County, both active and inactive.
Feb. 16 is the last day for early registration and after that a trip to the elections office is required to register and vote.

Motherless monkeys: UW-Madison to revive controversial primate experiments
In his 21 years at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's veterinary school, Eric Sandgren has seen a lot of controversies. But the UW's most prominent defender of animal research has never seen anything like this.
Sandgren is referring to the first experiment at UW-Madison in more than 30 years that will intentionally deprive newborn rhesus monkeys of their mothers, a practice designed to affect a primate's psychological well-being.

Exchange 2013 offers some amazing new Legal Hold capabilities over Exchange 2010. In Exchange 2010, legal hold was a binary switch (legal hold on or off) for a user. Exchange 2013 adds capabilities such as:
- Time based hold: Allows you to put items on hold for a specific period of time (e.g. 7 years)
- Query based hold: Allows you to put items on hold based upon a query
- A user can have multiple holds if they are involved in multiple cases.
For more information on Exchange In-place hold and the usage scenarios, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff637980(v=exchg.150).aspx
A question came up from a customer who has been using a 3rd party archiving solution, so they asked with the new Exchange online archiving and in-place hold mechanism, can you put only the online archive on hold.
In Exchange 2013, the in-place hold policies are at the mailbox level. The policies apply to both the inbox and the archive. In most scenarios, you want to retain message for a pre-determined length of time regardless of where they are stored.
The process to enable in-place hold are:
- Go to the Office 365 Exchange Admin Center.
- Login to your Office 365 portal (https://portal.microsoftonline.com)
- In the upper right, select Exchange under the Admin dropdown window.
- In the Exchange Admin Center, select "Compliance Management" item on the left.
- Select "in-place E-Discovery and Hold"
- Select "+" to create a new hold policy
- Give the policy a name and select "Next"
- Specify the mailboxes to put on hold. Please note that if you select all mailboxes, then you won't be able to enable a time-based hold in the web UI. This will need to be done in Powershell.
- The following screen enables the "query-based" aspects of the hold. You can specify what messages to put on hold.
- On the following screen, you can specify how long you want to hold the messages. This is the "time based" hold. Note, that initially this option was greyed out since I selected all mailboxes. I went back and selected a couple mailboxes and then this option became active.
- The system will create the hold and give you some statistics about the hold in the status window.

Prior to entering the infection prevention world, I worked for almost a decade in a laboratory where we tested water, soil, waste water, air, and food, among other things. My focus and expertise were in the Environmental Division where we dealt with contaminated sites (water and soil testing), drinking water analysis, etc. My least favorite project was measuring, weighing, filleting and dissecting >200 fish in order to test for dioxin and other chemicals of concern. It was stinky and after the first night, the 2 college students who were supposed to help never came back….
Having lived and worked through one of the worst outbreaks associated with drinking water and understanding the need to ensure we have quality water to drink, I am always curious when I come across an article that impacts drinking water, particularly if bottled water is included, as bottled water does not have the same level of testing requirements as tap water (at in Ontario, Canada). So it was interesting when I read a recent article by researchers out of Thailand looking at Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates from environmental samples.
S. maltophilia is an emerging global multidrug-resistant opportunistic bacterial pathogen that is being found both in healthcare facilities and the community. Similar to many emerging pathogens, it is of particular concern for immunocompromised individuals as this pathogen is associated with a significant mortality. S. maltophilia is an environmental bacterium found in aqueous habitats, including plants, animals, foods, and water sources that has the ability to cause infections in a range of organs and tissues but is most commonly associated with in respiratory tract infections.
The researchers found that of the 360 samples taken, the majority of the environmental isolates were found in sink drains, drinking water and tap water. Of particular interest was the frequency of positive samples found from bottled water, which the researchers speculate could have resulted due to poor management of hygiene during the production of the bottle water. They also found positive samples from the machine filtered water which also highlights the importance of ensuring there is a preventative maintenance and monitoring program in place for on-site filtered water production.
My interest for this was of course the contamination in bottled water. We've become accustomed to grabbing bottles of water and most incorrectly believe that bottled water is safer than tap water. In some countries, without a doubt this could be true. However, in other countries, very strict regulations are in place to ensure that municipal water is of the highest quality and safety. The dirty truth is that bottled water manufacturers do not have to conduct much in the way of testing to ensure their product is as safe as the water coming out of our taps.
As with any study looking at the environment, it is both interesting and scary to learn about new emerging pathogens we need to be on the lookout for and of course the surfaces and areas we need to be particularly vigilant with.
Jae kan mai na,
PS – that's see you later in Thai! Thanks Nuch (aka Big Sis)!

Future Fun
Congratulations onWired 8.01, which must be the most comprehensive compendium of human perversion gone wild ever written. Either that, or I'm volunteering for the first one-way expedition to Mars, just to be on the safe side. I'm amazed nobody spotted an obvious killer app in all that cloning and genetic-engineering stuff: Move over, celebrity skin - here comes vat-grown celebrity meat! "Yeah, I love Carmen Elektra too ... do you want breast or leg?"
Federico Heinz
A few years back you published a specialWired issue, Scenarios. I read it cover to cover, and I always wishedWired would publish another one. I just received the January 2000 issue, and, after reading a few articles, I must commend you. This is the return ofScenarios I had looked forward to.
Michael Crehan
Browsing through your initial issue of the millennium, I was drawn in by the article on Nick Pugh and his Xeno III ("Ground Xeno," Wired 8.01, page 106). Good stuff. But be wary - didn't we see this in the designs of a young Gerald Wiegert in the 1970s?
Being a car designer in Detroit, I'll be the first to admit that it's an old-boy network here, with politics aplenty. But I don't think überman Pugh is the catalyst for the Cougar, the Cadillac EVO, or the recent leaner forms in car styling. When the mid-1980s saw smoother, rounded forms, was there one person to call upon? Probably not. But after a while, cars all began to look the same (and, to a large degree, still do). I don't mean to down-play Nick's originality or purity, but at the same time, when things change, it's not always due to one source. Styling, after all, is often just fashion.
Chet Wisniewski
He Shoots, He Scores!
I want to voice my appreciation for all the coverage you give to the commercialization of space ("Who Needs NASA?" Wired 8.01, page 118). I keep hoping that an Internet billionaire will turn out to have astronomical dreams and finance one of the first pushes back into the heavens - instead of buying basketball teams!
Richard Stiennon
Some of the positive hype from the January issue reminded me of the 1950s, when Ford and GM had a touring cavalcade of cars of the future. Ford's model hovered and was to be guided by cables buried in the roadway. GM's was a turbine car that ran on anything, even peanut oil. Nick Pugh's Xeno III is very handsome, although not particularly cutting-edge or technologically advanced (witness the Chevy engine). More interesting is the hot-pod concept. Like Pugh, I anticipate the time when a shrug changes lanes and a thought turns on the radio.
Richard Garriott-Stejskal
Capital Punishment
I was distressed thatWired featured the likes of head-transplant neurosurgeon Robert White ("A Little Off the Top," Wired 8.01, page 194). Many reputable transplant surgeons have distanced themselves from White, in recognition of the view that some things just shouldn't be done.
White has tortured countless monkeys in the past to "perfect" his perverse craft. Tony Stark, in his bookKnife to the Heart, writes of one of White's experiments: "[The monkey] had woken up to discover its head attached to a body it did not recognize and over which it had no control. The poor beast was paralyzed from the neck down because it was impossible to join its spinal cord to the cord in the body of the donor. It couldn't even breathe unaided. From the monkey's perspective, it was perhaps fortunate that White didn't have the funds to take care of the animals for long. Once rejection took its toll and the monkeys' faces started to swell and bleed, they were killed. None lived longer than a week."
In my view, White is not a medical innovator - he is a monster. Hopefully he will fade into obscurity where he belongs, and we will look back on him as an aberration, an embarrassment to the legacy of the human species.

Proper Protocol
I am counsel to the US House Committee on Banking, where we have obvious interests in encryption. Thank you so much for the article on IPv6 ("Breaking Protocol," Wired 7.12, page 344). I have been having a devil of a time coming up with something that explains the technology - succinctly - to interested representatives. Your piece fills the bill very nicely. The sidebars on the bits are especially useful.
Dick Peterson
Oceans Apart
I find it unbelievable that some researchers are seriously advocating developing methods to squelch hurricanes by preventing the transfer of heat from the ocean to the air ("Activate Cloud Shield! Zap a Twister!"Wired 8.01, page 212). Surely they realize that an important function of these storms is to dissipate excess heat. Consistently preventing the oceans from transferring heat to the atmosphere would almost certainly lead to global alterations in ocean currents. This is the kind of action that contributes to extinction events through elimination of important nutrient-cycling currents and initiation of worldwide sea-level elevation, disrupting shallow-water ecologies, flooding low-elevation terrestrial environments (the Eastern seaboard, for one), and raising ocean temperatures beyond manageable limits for many organisms.
Is it really such a good idea to protect New Orleans from a storm at the risk of later sacrificing all of the East Coast?
Andrew Heffron
Open Door Policy
After reading "Newer York, New York" (Wired 8.01, page 88), I can't help wondering what the first Microsoft Outlook virus of 2016 will do. Will it poison my food? Perhaps it will manipulate the kitchen and burn my meals, or close the door on me - forever.
Meanwhile, could you please ask Michael McDonough or Bruce Sterling if there is a Linux (or Mac or Amiga or Palm OS or BeOS) housing project in my future? I would feel quite uneasy buying a 1.0-version Microsoft house and would like to know if I will be left out in the cold waiting for release 1.11 (or whatever they call the working version).
César Còrcoles
Circular Reasoning
Consider the premise of Frank Tipler's concept the Omega Point: He believes life is crawling to a finite point in history ("Deus ex Silico," Wired 8.01, page 218). But the mathematical concept of infinity will not allow such a future. For example, in order for the Omega Point to arrive, we must calculate pi to its final decimal place, which cannot be done. Sorry, Tipler, the simple circle denies your faith.

OK, so suppose you're on Twitter and you engage with a person who has an opposite opinion. Now let's say that this other person has thousands and thousands of followers -- not a few hundred, but TENS of THOUSANDS.
The person either replies to a tweet you sent out ... or they retweet something you sent them. Realize that when they do this, you now have a spotlight on your account. And all of their followers, most of whom may be trolls who have nothing to do but harass people, are suddenly paying attention to YOU.
This is where the "snowball effect" comes into play.
Once your tweet has been acknowledged by the person with thousands of followers, you're a sitting duck. You will start getting replies from all of THEIR followers, and in some cases, harassment. And if you have a web site or blog address listed in your Twitter bio, you may notice harassing comments on that site from those same Twitter trolls.
This happened to me this morning.
One thing I will say is that I never engage with a person like this UNLESS I am fully prepared for the consequences that I just outlined above. If you are having a bad day or feel like you can't take controversy, the best thing to do is to stay away from people like this on Twitter. However, if you feel that it's important to make a point and you're prepared for the onslaught, then engage -- but do so knowing that you will probably see "the snowball effect."
My best advice is not to interact with people that are obviously on there to troll. In the case this morning, I noticed that the person in question had held up a blogger for ridicule, and I chose to respond to defend the blogger. That said, I don't do this a lot.
Hope this little tip helps, and I'd like to know if any of the rest of you have ideas or suggestions for dealing with Twitter trolls that have been effective for you.

The disruptive challenge electric utilities face is like telephone companies faced years ago, as Edison Electric Institute recently pointed out. Circuit switching 20 years ago is like distributed solar power and the smart grid it needs now; this is what I described at the Georgia Public Service Commission meeting Tuesday 18 June 2013.
Hi, I'm John Quarterman, I'm from Lowndes County, down near the Florida line. These videos I've been taking are with Lowndes Area Knowledge Exchange and you'll find them on YouTube later.
Now I'd like to commend Georgia Power for helping fund our Industrial Authority down in Lowndes County to do a strategic plan. And in the focus groups they did with that, they discovered there's at least two things everybody wants: business, education, health care, the people in general: Continue reading

Monday Random Thoughts
- Now to remember to log into it more than once a year.
- It is @TheGrumpyElf in case you are interested.

- Back to goodies I got that I will not be able to throw away.
- I got the BoP red shirt.
- The white item that is BoP, interesting. I have to keep that don't I?
- Got a massive amount of greens that sell good for transmog.
- If you want to make a fortune run the last part of SM and sholo and sell the greens.
- Some of them go for 1000 each on my server and my server is not even a heavy transmog market.
- I got all but the boots from the hunter set from scholo.

- Awesome. (said like barney on how I met your mother)
- I got some 0.05% pattern drops too.

- It occurred to me that profession restrictions, while they do serve a purpose, are really annoying.
- I would love to have my main have all professions.
- I think that is the reason I don't have any more than one 85 on other servers outside of my main.
- I do not have the professions to support that 85, so it sucks to level another one just for professions.
- If I could learn everything on the one char, it would really help.
- I would have what I need, and I could level an alt for fun and not feel as if I have to because I need the support professions.
- Maybe they can create something called a legacy character where you can pick one character per server that is allowed to be your master craftsman and have every profession.
- Yeah, ain't happening. But an elf can dream.
- I got some really cool stuff from my runs. Even started to have a little fun with them.
- I wanted to see how many mobs I could get on me in scholo.
- I ran the entire instance and grabbed every mob there.
- The bosses are leashed, so you need to kill them as you are running, but the mobs don't seem to be.
- I pulled the entire instance back to the gates.
- Spun, disengaged, multi shot, saw the entire screen light up, and laughed my ass off.
- Then thought for a second... why can't I have AoE looting now?
- 14 gold + repair bill just for running around and letting them beat on me for the whole instance.
- And it was worth every penny even if I did not loot them all.
- It was fun.
- Have you ever seen over 250 bodies in one pile like that. It is awesome.
- How much do you want to make a bet for that when mists come out random tanks will try to do that?
- Fresh, just hit 90 tanks, trying to pull entire rooms.
- Thank god I am a hunter.
- Stay back, keep my finger over feign death, win.
- I did some lore reading this weekend as well and found out something I never knew.
- Or maybe I knew and forgot.
- Worgens are not from our planet.
- Does this mean there is another planet we can go to some day with some new lore and stuff?
- That would be awesome.
- They do not need to make an entire expansion about it, they could make it a patch.
- And make the worgen home world a zone like the molten front.
- Where it is just one big quest hub and teach us some worgen lore.
- It might be fun and interesting.
- It would at least be different.
- As long as they never turn warcraft into a scratch and sniff game.
- Could you imagine the smell of wet dog from all those worgen that just got out of the water?
- It would be unbearable.
- Not to mention I don't think I have ever seen a shower or a bathtub in all of azeroth.
- People must really stink.
- I don't know about anyone else but I can say certainty that none of my characters have ever taken a shower because I have never even seen one.
- Thank god we can not smell this game or I would never play.
- My characters only seem to go to the bathroom every five years or so too it seems because the bathrooms are few and far between too.
- And there is never any toilet paper.
- So never shake hands in warcraft either okay.
- For your own safety, and mine, I do not know where your hand has been.
- If swimming is the only time we clean ourselves that sort of explains why there are so few fish we can see swimming around.
- It also explains why there are so many sickly fish around the forsaken area.
- They are the rotting dead, they swim in that, if I were a fish I would be downright sickly too.
- Maybe the worgen world has bathrooms and showers and toilet paper.
- And maybe their tailors can make bigger bags.
- I want to go there now, get some bigger bags, and take a damn shower.
- Have a great day.

Still intent to comment on the exclusivity post, but want to write something wel-thought through - and was too busy farming SM (for 3 toons that can use the Boss drops).ReplyDelete
Besides Zone Drop BoE's, Scarlet Monastery holds semi-unique Recipe Drops for LW (still after the Comfortable Leather Hat Pattern), JW (nothing important), and BS (seem to be +/- done myself but several Shoulder Recipes) in the 125-225 range. Supposedly some are World Drops but afaik everybody always got them from SM, most notably the Chests in the first three wings. The same with the Broken Blade of Heroes, a super-rare drop.
The respawn-tactic in the SM GY doesn't work anymore, in the sense that post-Shattering the Rares seem to be entirely random (had triple Ironspine spawns which never happened before for example, same with double Champ and the Caster guy). The tactic I used was start with GY and check with it after each wing, then reset (all wings use a single reset).
Note that SM GY also has an abundance of (chances of) Grave Moss, and these nodes respawn over time. The prime use for it si to make Shadow Oil, which in turn can be used for pretty good Craftables (that have little use in levelling nowadays *sigh*)
Yeah the tux pants from Scholo ^-^. The Cadevrous Leather set looks the same as the Silver-Lined Cloth set, bTW.
Note that the Brazier Summonings for Dungeon Set Bosses currently still work, they do drop some nice mog-gear, too.
The Well-Read Achievement requires clicking on Books that are currently unique to Scholo.
Warriors beware, in the crypts there are mobs that can not be harmed by physical damage if they have 10% or so of their health left. On top of my head the trick to use is to run to another room that has a pool in it, this will reset them.
Going by WoWhead MoP, all of this will be gone, finito, when MoP hits - though some of it might return on the BMAH.Replies
I hate when they remove things that there is no reason to remove.Delete
I got that broken blade of heroes a while back, had never seen it before. I have been trying to sell it but no one has showed any interest, even at only 20 gold. So rare as it might be, it is sadly worthless. Might be worth something to someone once it is more then rare. Like gone.
I had fun playing in them. It had been so long since I was in scholo it took me two runs before I remembered the way around again. Heck, I remember doing that what felt like a million times. Has to have been at least three years since I had been there.

"I hate when they remove things that there is no reason to remove."Delete
This a thousand times.
If a certain type of content doesn't get played by a lot of people, instead of removing it, just don't add more of it?
The new SM will lead to less Dungeon options for levelling characters and such. If they'd any decency they'd add an entirely new levelling Dungeon (the Alterac area just screams for it, especially now that it is bereft of Quests).
*aargh!* Yeah, the problem with super-rares is that most people don't even know it exists so have no idea about it. Before Dailies, people had to go out into the world and farm Instances and such for gold, and these kind of things would crop up more often -resulting in (more of) a market, esp. with the slower levelling and all. During Vanilla, it was actually a pretty good blade. Do you per chance know where you got it from?
Houndmaster. A mage friend of mine was farming for something there and I was leveling a new druid and he asked me if I wanted to tag along. We both rolled greed, I ended up with it.Delete
I agree. There is too much removing of content in the game lately. They should leave it there. If people do it, they do it, if they don't, who cares, it is already coded and there, leave it there.
Bring back old naxx, old ZA, old ZG. All removed for what? No reason.
Now they are removing a crap ton more content with shared achievements effectively removing content.
For a game that is supposed to grow they spend a hell of a lot of time removing stuff.

We cant threaten them we just do it. And you dont have to go out of your way for someone who doesnt do it for you.Look, I've threatened and my wife has said go ahead. However, that's only until I actually do it. Then, when she finds out, she's going to feed me my f*cking lunch in the courts. It's like a go ahead and do it, I dare you type of thing. She says it but never intends for me to actually do it, she's calling my bluff. Yes, I know, it shouldn't be a bluff but the courts don't look kindly on the guy going out and getting some on the side in a family situation. Women, who the f*ck cares as the family courts would see it but the guy, he'd better toe her line. It's so messed up, believe me, I've been through it once.

Jean-Pierre (JP) Etcheberrigaray Vice President, Food & Beverage, IHG

The positives of Stanozolol
- Quality muscle growth
- Surprising strength growth
- No water retention
- Significant fat loss
- Increases the power of steroids used simultaneously
Our advice 2getmass.to
- We advise you to take samarin 140 to protect your liver.
- Do not take this product only because you because you want to lose muscle mass, always combine it with an anabolic steroids such as a testosterone or dianabol or anabol.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose and the cycle duration.
Information on Stanozolol
Winstrol is a popular brand name for the anabolic steroid stanozolol. This compound is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, The molecule is used since 1962 . Stanozolol provides quality muscle growth with an increase of the surprising strengthWithout water retention and a significant loss of fat. Its anabolic properties could even be comparable to Dianabol, but Winstrol has the advantage not to water retention. Stanozolol as Dianabol is an alpha-17 akylé structural form so that oral administration is also effective that the injectable form. In addition, stanozolol is not capable of converting into estrogen (so no water retention), an anti-estrogen is not necessary. It is the same for gynecomastia, even among the most sensitive individuals, stanozolol does not cause gynecomastia. Winstrol produces a water retention quality muscle without fear of excess subcutaneous, this makes it a steroid that is used mostly during cutting cycles, when water and fat retention are a major concern. It is also very popular among athletes in combination strength / speed sports such as track and field.
Oral use of stanozolol can also have a profound and positive impact on sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels. Indeed like all anabolic / androgenic steroids plasma binding proteins such as SHBG act to temporarily limit steroid hormones from performing their activities. Stanozolol in the oral form provides a greater percentage of unbound steroid hormones in the body, reinforcing an effective mechanism in which stanozolol increases the potency of the steroids used simultaneously.
Winstrol is often combined with other steroids depending on the desired result. With Testosterone, Dianabol or Anadrol the Winstrol will balance the cycle, giving a good anabolic effect with low overall estrogenic activity. The result is a significant gain in new muscle mass, with a minimized level of water and fat retention.
For the cutting stages Winstrol can be combined with a non-androgenic flavoring steroid such as Trenbolone or Halotestin. Such combinations contribute to an extremely defined muscle so much sought after among bodybuilders.
For the most sensitive or older Winstrol can be combined with Primobolan, Deca-Durabolin or Equipoise. In this case the results will be good with very low side effects.
As with all steroids in the structural form alpha-akylé 17 (eg dianabol), Winstrol on a long cycle and at a very high dosage above normal, can cause high stress to the liver. It is strongly recommended to use Legalon 70 140 or Samarin to protect the liver during treatment and continue this treatment at least 2 weeks bitter cure to totally cleanse the liver. It is also advisable to limit the treatment preferably between 6 and 8 weeks.
The usual dosage for men is 20 / 80 mg daily for tablets. Female athletes can also use stanozolol at doses of around 5-10mg daily.
We can note that the detection time of oral Stanozolol is only 3 weeks compared to 9 weeks for the injectable version.

The first quarter of The Prime Minister (1876), the fifth of Anthony Trollope's Palliser novels, had me worried for the first quarter or so. Was this one going to be merely ordinary?
Trollope had spent the first quarter of The Way We Live Now (1875), his previous novel, introducing characters – so many characters – and enough subplots that I wondered, at the three-quarters mark, how he was going to wrap them all up. But here, there are only two plots, two parallel stories.
One has Plantagenet Palliser, who Trollope introduced way back in The Small House of Allington (1864), become Prime Minister – see title – as head of a coalition government, a clever device because it completely strips politics of any relation to policy. The politics become as pure as possible. The only function of the Prime Minister is to remain Prime Minister. The only goal of politics is the continuation of politics. It is the perfect environment for Trollope's game of Fantasy Parliament, and suggests why this is one of the few great novels about politics and also why there are so few novels about politics that are any good at all.
The other plot is – why it's just a Victorian marriage plot! again! – charming, handsome, risk-loving, exotic Ferdinand Lopez wants to marry the lovely, incidentally wealthy Emily Wharton. His charm and other gifts mean his star is on the rise, but Emily's father is prejudiced, her family is against her, etc.
At about the quarter mark, the obstacles disappear, the couple marries, and the marriage plot turns into a plot about marriage, a bad marriage. Trollope, that enemy of suspense, openly declares the husband a con man:
Ferdinand Lopez was not an honest man or a good man. He was a self-seeking, intriguing adventurer, who did not know honesty from dishonesty when he saw them together. (Ch. 24, "The Marriage")
The marriage is much more interesting than the courtship. The main characters – Lopez, Emily, and her father – are much more interesting within the marriage story than the courtship story. The marriage story has the disadvantage of being quite unpleasant, a painful story. But it is interesting.
At the same time, the political story became less about politics and more personal, more about the psychological effects of the powerful role on the PM and his wife, one of Trollope's greatest characters. They're not so happy, either.
Nor is The Prime Minister especially funny.
Because the novel is well over 900 pages long, a quarter of the novel is a long stretch. I would guess that readers who have found other Trollope novels slow and repetitive will lose patience with this one. I wondered, around page 200, if I would have anything to say about this book.
He began to foresee that he had a bad time before him. (Ch. 9)
And he – Mr. Wharton, the father – does. But I did all right. A day or two more on The Prime Minister, then.

Another fun day with the home machines!
First... one okay shot of the Hairbender and then one really nice shot of it. Sweet, dried fruit, some beautiful high-toned aromatics and a super-beautiful sweet brown sugar chocolate finish. Honestly, while the shots out of this machine are not in the same league as what I can get out of a Mistral, they're close to what I was able to get from a bone-stock Linea.
Second... a double capp for Valerie. This was actually lovely. While I'm still finding it to be a serious challenge to get really high-quality milk with this machine - it's still possible with work to get satisfactory taste and texture.
Third... a switch over the the mighty Stumptown El Salvador CoE Las Nubitas. Honestly, this might well be my favorite single origin espresso of all time. And the second shot I pulled... just lovely. Top three shots of Las Nubitas ever. Not only the usual caramel roasted apple sweet fruit vanilla but with a finish rich in dutch processed cocoa. Wonderful.
And then some more ninja training time.
She is progressing well.
Her kung fu is strong.
Two of her shots of Las Nubitas were good and one was very good indeed.

Over the past semester, what did you find most interesting, and what was least interesting, about the course?
By Jimmy Lavorato
To me, the most interesting part of this class was analyzing my own media usage and comparing that with my peers. It was interesting to see how much of my life is driven by the media and how the internet is such a vital part of not just my education, but also my entertainment. Then we started to discuss rights to speech and privacy, where it became evident of just how much information of others is easily available on the internet. It's very fascinating to me how connected the world is and how by using the internet properly as a tool for information, you can make many connections about the current world. Another thing I enjoyed was looking outside of the US and learning about how they differ from us. The artifact project was a good way to explore different cultures, which is why I picked a topic that was outside of the US. I didn't really find any content less interesting because I was able to come up with my own media story analysis, I found that when I was able to search and identify media stories of my own that applied to the topic, I got a better understanding of it then if I was just given an example.

What are your favorite niche lines? What perfume houses would you recommend to someone who is new to fragrance?
Niche, artisanal, indie… These labels mean so much and so little, but let's imagine that they mean a small fragrance house with a limited distribution (and yes, even though L'Artisan is now sold at Sephora, it's still a niche fragrance house to me). I don't think that niche connotes quality any more than does a designer label, especially when you factor in the luxurious prices. I also have a gripe or two about the explosion of overpriced lines that make inflated claims while selling juices that were picked from a reject pile on a perfumer's desk. All of this aside, some of the most interesting launches today still take place in small houses, and I turn to niche when I want to find unusual compositions and memorable fragrances.
I credit Annick Goutal for making me want to explore the perfume world beyond the Macy's counter. Even though I never grew to like Gardenia Passion, the first fragrance I had sampled, its surprisingly free form floral and bold character made a strong impression on me. It was different and less formal than Lancôme Trésor I wore at the time, and it prompted me to search further. Before long I was enchanted by the delicate vignette of L'Artisan Parfumeur La Chasse Aux Papillons, the elegant beauty of Guerlain Après l'Ondée and the radiance of Shiseido Féminité du Bois. But Annick Goutal remains the fragrance house I recommend to friends who want to explore something beyond department store best sellers. The fragrances are approachable, playful and well-crafted, and the collection is varied enough for everyone to find something to their liking.

Politics and Gender in Ireland: The Quest for Political Agency
Available on backorder
Quick Overview
This book explores the relationship between women, the state and democratic politics in Ireland today. It highlights the conservatism of the political culture shared by all traditions on the island, and how this culture circumscribes women's political agency in Northern Ireland and Ireland. The book explores the opportunities and obstacles to women's participation and representation on each side of the border. The chapters take the view that public decision-making institutions and processes are subject to rules and practices that reinforce the gendered foundations of democratic politics. They document women's continuing quest for full participation and equal representation in these male-gendered arenas. The contributors focus on the marginalised experiences of women in modern politics in Ireland and detail their efforts to challenge the masculinized status quo. The book addresses the classical issues of citizenship, participation, representation and equal rights in a sustained analysis of the political systems on the island.
It also deals with modern issues – multiculturalism, peace-building, the male-gendered legislature and the unequal nature of women's citizenship in constitutional, institutional and policy contexts. The book is completed by a comprehensive appendix of all women elected to political office on the island from 1918-2013. This book was published as a special issue of Irish Political Studies.

Each spring, UCSD requires all MFA and PhD students to undergo an annual evaluation. The department and university's graduate division make sure we're making adequate progress toward our degree. This includes coursework, but also requires each student and advisor to reflect on progress in the last year, plus strengths and weaknesses. It's a formality and we can get away with writing very little of substance, but for me it's a great reminder to stop what I'm doing and reflect on the past year. What have I done well? What would I like to improve? How will I do so in the next year? This is a time to reflect on how I've developed as a researcher, teacher, thinker, and person.
From my progress report, May 2014, at the end of my first academic year in grad school:
I have engaged in a lot of implicit learning during my first year of graduate school. Undoubtedly, I've also learned a lot explicitly – the theoretical foundations for cognitive science, an overview of systems neuroscience, and how to program an experiment in Matlab are a few examples. Though more difficult to quantify and articulate, the knowledge I've learned implicitly may be what best characterizes the progress I've made this year.
I've had the opportunity to observe many successful cognitive scientists, ranging from grad students who are only one year ahead of me to tenured faculty and distinguished speakers. As a result of this exposure, I've not only learned more about the field, but have also gained a better understanding of what constitutes a good research question and solid research methods. I've also realized that collaboration and community are essential for conducting good research, and that sharing ideas with others, whether informally over lunch or more formally at a CRL [Center for Research on Language] talk, is beneficial to both sharer and listeners. I've learned when to ask for help and whom to approach with different types of questions. By doing this, the phrase "it takes a village" has taken on a new importance for me – the idea of doing research in a vat is nearly as unrealistic as expecting cognition to manifest from brain in one.
My research projects this year may best demonstrate the implicit learning I did. I only ran a few pilot studies, and I certainly have no significant findings to show for my work. However, I learned what working on a relatively nebulous (and intriguing) question entails. It includes defining a question, thinking creatively about how to investigate it, and doing exploratory work.
I wrote more, but I'll spare my loyal readers from what I aptly referred to in this progress report as "academic soul searching." I took a lot in that year, and it didn't feel like I put out nearly as much. In hindsight, I'm comfortable with that investment of time to deepen my understanding of the world I was joining. Grad school is really different from undergrad.
Here's how I summed up my first year in that same reflection: During my first year, I have recognized the importance of communities and communication for success in graduate school and academia. I still believe that communities and communication are some of the most important pillars in my grad school and professional career, so maybe all that implicit learning wasn't quite as implicit as I believed it to be.

Update: Claire has not forgotten me since I posted about her turning three months - I was really nervous that she would get more used to her day care provider but when I get home we have lots of cuddle time and I love that she lights up when I go to pick her up.
This past month has been really good, Claire still isn't sleeping as well as I would love but otherwise she is doing well. Thankfully she hasn't got the cold that seems to be going around and [knock on wood] neither have we. Who has time for a cold?! She traveled to Kansas, she has learned how to play the piano [ok its a little electronic one but she totally hits the keys on it] and she has upped her appetite quite a bit. Next weel we have her four month appt, time to get more shots :( and find out how much our little chunker weighs. I can def tell she is growing because my arms are getting tired much quicker :)
Looking forward to another month with our sweet baby girl, first trip is to SB this weekend - can't wait!

Mission Statement
The International Peace Information Service (IPIS vzw) is an independent research institute providing tailored information, analysis and capacity enhancement to support those actors who want to realize a vision of durable peace, sustainable development and the fulfillment of human rights.
Thoughout the years, IPIS has developed a geographic focus on sub-Saharan Africa and a thematic focus on natural resources, conflict motives of armed actors, business and human rights, and international arms transfers. Within this scope, IPIS strives to be a center of excellence on field based research.
In 1981, members of the Belgian peace movement founded the International Peace Information Service, known as IPIS. Within two years, IPIS gained the status of an officially accredited non-governmental organisation. The initiators believed in a very broad interpretation of the main themes of peace and security. This was expressed in a wide range of themes included in our library: democratisation, human rights, private sector actors, globalisation, development, political movements, etc.
After the Cold War, our attention shifted from Eastern and Central Europe to Sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, we gradually evolved from a documentation centre into an 'action research' institute. The emergence of a multitude of dirty and forgotten conflicts on the African continent, and the accompanying information deficit around these conflicts, urged us to go into the field to gather firsthand data on arms flows, conflict financing, the plundering of resources and the involvement of private sector corporations. Our field research in often dangerous war zones resulted in several groundbreaking reports which met international recognition by, among others, the UN Security Council, several governments and international campaign organisations. (To view a list of our previous assignments, see: Assignments 2000-2011.)
To create a more clearly distinct profile for our organisation towards stakeholders and interested audiences, research activities are structured into three core themes: arms trade, the exploitation of natural resources and corporate social responsibility in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to the arms trade and conflict related issues, we also devote much attention to post-conflict reconstruction, sustainable development, human rights and environmental issues.
Research method
The nature of IPIS' research stands midway between a journalistic and an academic approach. With journalism we share a strong focus on the factual, as opposed to the rather theoretical line of approach of academic research. However, IPIS goes deeper and more thoroughly into its themes of research than is usual within the journalistic profession. By doing so, we come near to investigative journalism and its digging extending to sources outside the public domain.
Our gathering of information is a permanent activity and is done through consulting sources on the internet, studying academic and journalistic publications, analysing confidential documents, fieldwork and interviews within an extensive network of contacts built up over many years. That data stream is processed by our researchers and forms the basis of the research projects that we carry out for external clients.
Depending on our clients' requirements, IPIS' output consists of publishable reports or dossiers that are only intended for the client. In the latter case, it can be, for instance, a dossier serving as the basis of an NGO campaign, or one for a public authority to map out its policy options.
The analyses we provide in our dossiers are always accompanied by workable recommendations that have been submitted for review by legal and technical experts and by policy makers. These recommendations are addressed to all the stakeholders involved in the research topic. Besides dossiers and reports, we also compile courses, training modules, and give workshops and lectures.
IPIS often deals with sensitive information and in handling this we pursue deontological principles such as reliability, critical sense, impartiality and check & double-check.
How IPIS uses your data
IPIS complies with European data protection laws (GDPR) and has a privacy policy to ensure you know exactly what information we have from you and what we do with it. Our policy came into effect on May 25, 2018.

well maybe you got me wrong. of course i can switch between replay, follow and free and between auto/manual. but if you don't spectate and press 1, 2 or 3 then the "view" changes. i want that to happen in spectator mode too. it worked fine back in tmn, but it doesn't work in any forever game anymore.Mystery Man wrote:Domi wrote:Smurfos wrote:well, i'm not stupid
and i'm not the only one with that problem.
Well guess what? Im not one of the people with the problem. I don't know what your doing wrong because it seems to work fine here and ive updated it. I click on replay button and it works here in spec mode.
i would be surprised if that worked for you because there are quite a lot people who can't get it working either.

Emergencies and disasters generally happen without much warning. While hurricanes and blizzards usually provide some chance to prepare, tornadoes, wildfires, and earthquakes seldom do. Civil disorders such as rioting and looting can occur quickly, too, and often the loss of lighting in a city is enough to set off lawless behavior. Most emergencies will be such that you will be able to remain in your home, but sometimes, it will be necessary to 'bug-out' as quickly as possible. Rather than having to run out with only the clothes on your back, take some time and effort to prepare a bug-out bag before you need it.
You will generally want food and water that will last for 3 days. As carrying a great deal of water is impractical, include a water filter straw or plastic water filter. Emergency rations are a good choice for food as they take up little space. A folding camp stove and a fire starter are also necessary, as are some simple utensils. A sleeping bag, should be fastened to the base of your backpack, and if possible a small tent. Emergency tents will also serve and try to carry a tarp as well, or at least emergency blankets.
A map is an essential and it would also be a good idea to have a small writing tablet and a pen or two in the bag. Make sure you know where emergency centers are and are familiar with routes that might be used for evacuation. Prescription medication, copies of the prescription, and medical records can go into the bag as well. A flashlight and a battery powered or crank radio should be included as well as some cash (the banks might not be open, and a widespread power outage means that the ATMs will not be working).
Warm clothing if the season is cold should be available. A roll of duct tape and a multitool will be helpful as well. Include a first aid kits to deal with any minor injuries. Personal protection can be provided by a handgun, taser, or pepper spray.
Having the best bug-out bag in the world will not mean too much if you try to leave and your car or truck fails you. Evacuating on foot is possible, but will be difficult, especially if there are children or older people in the family. Make sure that all fluids in the car are kept at the proper levels and keep an extra container of engine oil on hand. Check your tires periodically to make sure that they are properly inflated and that there is still enough tread on them to make a journey safely. It is recommended that at least 1/8 inch of tread be on the tire, if there is less, replace the tire. A spare pair of windshield wipers is also a good idea.
Remember, also, to keep at least half a tank of gas in the vehicle at all times. This will generally be sufficient to get you to a gas station, even if there is no gas available in your immediate area.

The tropical forest sound effects are always there.
Call Hunt Slonem at any time, and you'll hear them. Birds singing, whistling, squawking.
Then again, why not call them Louisiana sound effects? Stand on the banks of any bayou, and you can hear the same symphony of birds. Well, there may be different birds performing these symphonies; those in Slonem's spacious New York apartment are indeed tropical.
"I just returned from the opening of my exhibit in San Francisco, and I adopted another African gray parrot while I was there," he said.
He sighed.
"I have birds everywhere," he said.
This is OK, because the birds have and continue to serve as a major source of Slonem's inspiration. And paintings of these birds are featured in the exhibit Birds and Bayous, which opened Feb. 8 in the Gallery at the Manship Theatre in the Shaw Center for the Arts.
The show runs through Saturday, Feb. 23, and its presented by BankcorpSouth in cooperation with the Manship Theatre and Ann Connelly Fine Art. And the show, as indicated by the title, features a mixture of Slonem's paintings of his birds and the bayous of Louisiana, where he owns two plantation homes.
"There may be a few other paintings in the show, too," Slonem said. He spoke from his New York apartment a few days before the opening.
"A lot of the paintings in this show haven't been exhibited in years," he said. "It will be interesting to see them in the gallery."
Slonem traveled to Baton Rouge for the opening. Any trek to Louisiana is a trip home.
Slonem's work is known throughout the world. That's no exaggeration. Collectors and museums seek out his work. His pieces even hang in the Louisiana Governor's Mansion.
"I painted the image for the poster used for the governor's second inauguration last year," Slonem said.
So now there may be some people wondering about the connection between a world-renowned New York artist and Louisiana. The timeline is simple. Slonem earned his bachelor of arts degree from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1973. He later returned and purchased two historically important Louisiana plantations: Albania Plantation on Bayou Teche in St. Mary Parish and Lakeside Plantation in Batchelor.
Albania once was owned by the Delgado family that founded what would become the New Orleans Museum of Art. Lakeside once was owned by the Marquis de La Fayette, whose circle of friends included Thomas Jefferson and played a key role in the Louisiana Purchase.
Slonem is on a continuous commute between New York and his Louisiana home(s).
Home is a key word here, because Louisiana is as much his home as New York.
His paintings fill the plantation houses' walls, and Slonem opened Lakeside's doors to a committee appointed by BancorpSouth in preparation for this show.
The committee visited the house and chose paintings for the Baton Rouge exhibit, deciding upon a Louisiana theme.
Birds and bayous. The state is filled with them, and Slonem depicts them in his paintings. He recently showed a collection of bayou-inspired paintings at a solo exhibit at Chaisson Gallery in New Orleans, and he created a series of paintings inspired by his plantation homes and the state's bayous for the 2010 exhibit, Hunt Slonem: On the Bayou at the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum in Lafayette. Slonem also has been featured in solo shows at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum and the Alexandria Museum of Art.
"And my Lincoln paintings have been on exhibit at the Louisiana State Archives," he said. Abraham Lincoln has been another source of inspiration for the artist. But his birds and bayous are in the spotlight for now.
These works usually are large, and when standing in front of his birds, you can almost hear his feathered entourage somewhere in the background. "I'm always adopting new birds," he said. "The pets I adopt are homeless."
And they're irresistible. For any pet lover knows that one more is never too many, and Slonem definitely loves his birds.
As much as he loves Louisiana. "I'm always coming to Louisiana," he said. "And my plantations have been used for a lot of movies filmed there. Albania was used for 20 different scenes in All the King's Men, and Lakeside will be seen in the upcoming film, Beautiful Creatures, starring Jeremy Irons and Emma Thompson."
And in the midst of it all, Lee Jofa is creating fabric designs using Slonem's paintings for a series of furniture and interior pieces to be released next year.
His paintings also have been used for ties, among other items, sold through the newly established Hunt's Pet Shop.
"And there will be a book of my rabbit paintings released next year," he said.
But Baton Rougeans will be able to see his paintings this year. Just walk into the Shaw Center, pass the Manship Theatre and continue upstairs.
And there they are.
Slonem's colorful birds happily singing among Louisiana bayous.

Jerry Brown seems to have stepped in it, as Republicans at the municipal level in California continue to jump on board with the Sessions lawsuit eagerly:
More local governments in California are resisting the state's efforts to resist the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, and political experts see politics at play as Republicans try to fire up voters in a state where the GOP has grown weak.
Since the Jeff Sessions-led Department of Justice sued California last month over its so-called "sanctuary state" law limiting police collaboration with immigration agents, at least a dozen local governments have voted to either join or support the lawsuit or for resolutions opposing the state's position. Those include the Board of Supervisors in Orange County, which has more than 3 million people.
More action is coming this week, with leaders in the Orange County city of Los Alamitos scheduled to vote Monday on a proposal for a local law to exempt the community of 12,000 from the state law. On Tuesday, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors is meeting to consider joining the Trump administration lawsuit.
Immigration has been a hot topic across the country since President Donald Trump campaigned in 2016 on promises of tougher enforcement and a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. It has been a lightning rod issue in California far longer.
Some of the supervisors pushing the issue in Orange and San Diego counties are Republicans running for Congress and they may see this as a way to generate needed enthusiasm, said Louis DeSipio, a political science professor at the University of California, Irvine.
"The mobilization that could come from introducing immigration debates into county political races may be a critical element in a year like 2018 when Democrats will likely be more mobilized than Republicans," he said.

After an exhaustive 48 hours working with their basketball network across the globe, the Northern Star Resources Goldfields Giants have come up big with their replacement import with the signing of US recruit Patrick Burke.
At 201cm (6'7″) and 109kg, Burke agreed to terms over the weekend and is currently on his way to the Goldfields from Arlington, Texas and due to arrive on Tuesday afternoon.
The acquisition of Burke was helped through a similar source, former Rockingham Flames import Cooper Land who is now coaching in the US.
Land was instrumental in the Giants' signing of gun US recruit Jeylyn Sharpe in 2018 and his knowledge of Burke, along with the endorsement from Jeylyn Sharpe himself against his old college rival gave the Giants the confidence that Burke was the man they needed.
Burke graduated in 2018 from NCAA Division II school Dallas Baptist University, being named the Heartland Conference Player of the Year in 2018, having finished runner-up in the same award in 2017 to Sharpe.
He brings to the team inside scoring and rebounding amongst other things, with college averages of 14 points at 65% from the field and 6 rebounds, with almost half of that coming from the offensive end.
He was also named the winner of the nationally awarded 2018 Pete Maravich Award Recipient for Men's Basketball.
A prolific ice hockey player in high school and also at the collegiate level, he earned the nickname 'Moose' for his toughness on the ice and the court, which is something that Giants' fans will endear themselves to.
With his arrival this Tuesday, the Giants' hierarchy are hopeful that all his approvals and clearances will be in place so he is able to take to the court this weekend for their opening round road games against the Joondalup Wolves and the Kalamunda Eastern Suns.
Patrick Burke
Date Of Birth: 2nd January, 1996 (23 years old)
From: Arlington, Texas (USA)
Height: 201cm (6'7″)
Position: Forward/Centre
Giants Playing Number: To Be Confirmed
Recruited from: Dallas Baptist University (NCAA Division II)
Basketball Career

V: My First Impressions
There's almost nothing worse than having to get some real work done when a great show is on the tube. Last night I watched the first episode of V (re-imagined) while trying to build a dimensional modeling tutorial. My initial thoughts were Wow! I loved the opening scenes and the setup.
The show did a great job of laying out the main characters, their issues, and the initial path along the V road. Elizabeth Mitchell was great! I thought she was good in Lost and she's the perfect fit for this show.
The graphics (which get ever so cheaper to produce) were equally nice. A lot of the CG in TV shows today rival what was done in movies just 5 or 6 years ago.
And what I did not like. Too much, too fast. Yes, this is a re-imagining. But, there were just too many reveals in the first episode. Morris is Visitor. So is Elizabeth's partner. The Visitor's are really evil. They could have spread this out over a couple of episodes.
We'll see how things go over the next few weeks. Hopefully, this can turn into a long running show. I miss BSG 😦
