Airline Denies Off-Course Pilots Played Warcraft
EAGAN, MN - Northwest Airlines has denied two off-course pilots were playing the popular World of Warcraft computer game on their laptops. "Just another crazy Internet rumor," said Northwest spokesperson Gary De Sale. "Forget about it." However information leaked from a National Transportation Safety Board hearing the pilots attended indicated otherwise. According to an unnamed source, "The first officer was an Alliance Night Elf named Treequick, and the captain was a Horde Troll named Slobbercrush. They hated each other. They would carry maces and battle axes on the flight deck. I mean, the NTSB even had an email from Slobbercrush to management asking to be paid in Warcraft cyber gold. Trippy." De Sale refused comment on the allegations. "We'll stand by the NTSB report. Unless it says anything about World of Warcraft. Then it's untrue." (Photo: criticalgamers.com)

Established in 2005 and with over 25 restaurants across the UK, Pho serves traditional Vietnamese food in an informal and casual environment. It specialises in Vietnam's national dish, pho, a tasty and nutritious noodle soup. The menu also offers other authentically prepared Vietnamese dishes, coffees, beers and fruit juices.
On launch day and throughout the opening weekend (June 15-18) of Pho in Guildford, customers can enjoy 50% off food.
Stephen Wall, co-founder of Pho, said:
"We are really looking forward to opening our doors at Tunsgate Quarter. The newly remodelled centre is the ideal location for us in Guildford, and we are excited to introduce everyone to our healthy Vietnamese food later this spring."
Stephen and Juliette Wall set up Pho after travelling to Vietnam and being inspired by the culture and cuisine. They opened the first restaurant on St. John Street, Clerkenwell, London, in June 2005.

A couple of cases recently have brought to mind the occasional need for leaders to be more assertive in their relationships with some people in the business.
Leaders need to be more assertive? Are you kidding, I hear you say?
Not at all. It is very surprising how diffident leaders in business can be when it comes to dealing with even slightly difficult members of the team.
First things first. If the leader has an inclusive and collaborative relationship with senior members of the team which is always desirable, rather than any "top down" direction then that freedom can, from time to time, be abused or at least, tested.
If we give our people the freedom to express themselves, then we must expect occasionally for strange concepts and ideas to be expressed and sometimes forcefully.
Leaders need to lay down ground rules of behaviour which should be an integral part of the statement of values which underpin the whole of the ethos and culture of the business.
There is a fine line to be drawn between disagreement and outright mutiny. We should welcome some disagreement from time to time because that will engender debate whereas mutiny implies entrenched positions which are unacceptable.
The two cases in mind are different but the answer is much the same. In one case, the team member has started to express strong opinions about his role and responsibilities which are counter to the needs of the business and he is becoming a problem. Focus on specific activities is what is needed, not a radical change in his functions.
In the other case, a small department which to some extent has legacy issues, mutely and deliberately refuses to do as the leader directs and visibly does what they think is required and what they obviously prefer to do.
There comes a time when the leader has to exert or at least assert authority for the greater good of the business. This can often run counter to the innate instincts of the leader and can lead to that often feared situation - confrontation.
It really is curious how many outwardly strong and confident leaders are reluctant to confront difficult situations and difficult people. Not surprising therefore that some situations can run on and on and get out of hand.
At some stage a solution is essential and only the leader can make that decision. However, confrontation can be achieved in different ways primarily by assertiveness or by aggression.
My great friend and renowned speaker, Lynn Leahy, taught me long ago that there is a huge difference between being assertive and being aggressive.
Assertiveness assumes that instructions are given with respect to the feelings of the team member whereas an aggressive approach rides roughshod over anyone's feelings just to get the job done.
What is required in both these cases is assertiveness, a firmness of approach which permits no discussion but only a change in attitude and an acceptance on the part of the individual of the needs of the business.
It is called "biting the bullet" or "grasping the nettle" and is a necessary and hopefully seldom needed part of the armoury of the leader.
There comes a time, however, when it must be done and as Shakespeare said: "If t'were done, t'were better done quickly".

The Early Helladic Cargo Site at the Dokos island was found in 1975 by Peter Throckmorton.
In 1975 and 1977 HIMA undertook
two preliminary surveys at the site ynder the direction of George
From 1989 to 1992 the Institute conducted
the excavation of the site; more than 15,000 pottery sherds,
millstones and other artefacts have been raised and transporetd
to the Museum of Spetses for study and conservation.
The pottery from the Dokos cargo
site, which all appears to belong to a late phase of EH II, includes
all the basic EH II types known from numerous land sites as well
as various kinds of household utensils. We think, however, that
the range of shapes will prove to be even wider when the cleaning
and study of the thousands of sherds so far recovered have been
The commonest shapes are bowls, sauceboats,
basins, wide-mouthed jars with plastic bands, and amphoras; utensils
include "spit-supports, braziers, and baking trays.
An interesting feature of the pottery
so far studied from the 1989 and 1990 campaigns was the presence
of Cycladic elements; this confirms the initial impression formed
of the pottery at the time of the discovery of the cargo in 1975.
The three commonest shapes are bowls,
sauceboats and amphoras, which are represented by many dozens
of sherds; the first two are the commonest EH II types in southern
and central Greece and on the islands of the Saronic and Argolic
gulfs (for a good summary of EH II pottery, see Caskey 1960, 290-292,
fig. 1; 1968, 315, Lerna III).
In the course of reconnaissance dives
made in 1989 west of the main site two stone slabs were found,
each with a perforation near its edge.
The first (A144), which is roughly
triangular in shape, was at a depth of 34 m and some 33 m west
of point 8 on the perimeter of the wreck . It was lying relatively
close to the shore on a rocky bottom with patches of sand.
The second (A155), nearly circular
in shape, was found at a depth of 38 m, 46 m west of point 8 on
the wreck perimeter and 14 m southwest of the first slab and on
a similar bottom . When they were found, both slabs were wedged
among the rocks with their perforations uppermost and pointing
eastward in the direction of the wreck. Both slabs were photographed
in situ and their positions fixed by measuring their distances
from different points on the perimeter of the main site and from
each other.
Before they were raised, we tried
an experiment: ropes were fastened to the holes and two people
standing on the diving raft stationed over the middle of the site
attempted to haul in the slabs. We found that it took a great
effort by the two people just to shift the slabs from their position.
Next we tried to heave them up, and the two team members stationed
a boat directly over the two slabs and hauled first on one and
then on the other of the ropes. This time it required less exertion
to move the slabs, but still called for a considerable effort.
The initial observations made at
the time the slabs were found and the subsequent examination of
them after they were raised both suggest that they are in all
probability Early Age Bronze stone anchors and directly associated
with the Dokos underwater site.
All these facts, in addition to the
breaks and edge damage which are clear evidence of their repeated
use, rule out the likelihood that they were weights used by divers,
although Honor Frost does not exclude that possibility. Stones
used as diving weights are usually left on the bottom after the
dive, and in any case do not suffer the kind of wear and tear
that would cause this kind of damage.
2. Bearing in mind their distances
from the site of the cargo site and their positions to the west
of it, it is not unreasonable to suggest that they probably belonged
to the EH II ship. For if the vessel were anchored in approximately
the position of the present wreck site and were caught by a strong
westerly wind, which is the only one that seriously agitates the
sea in the little bay of Skindos, and if it then broke up on the
rocky shore and sank, its anchors would have been in just about
the same positions as our two: that is, approximately 40 metres
west of the bottom site and with the holes for the anchor ropes
orientated in its direction.
3. The number, size and especially
the weight of the anchors suggest that they belonged to a relatively
small vessel of perhaps 5 to 10 tons and 12 to 15 m in length.
This supersedes our earlier estimate of the vessel's size, which
was based on the relatively large cargo it seemed to have been
This estimate, of course, hangs on
the fact that only two rather small anchors have so far been found.
The excavation must first be completed and the surrounding area
thoroughly explored before we can say for sure whether or not
the ship carried more than two anchors and if so, whether they
were larger than these two. Much larger Bronze Age anchors have
been found in the eastern Mediterranean, and the ships there usually
carried a number of anchors, but even if we do not find any more
anchors at Dokos, this does not necessarily mean that our vessel
was a small one, because relatively nothing is in fact known about
EH ship types, sailing techniques or methods of anchoring. They
were probably long light craft propelled by oars, like those depicted
on the EH II "frying pans from Syros, the one on the
EH sherd from Orchomenos or the clay model from Palaikastro. Such
vessels could easily have been hauled up onto a beach or anchored
in some sheltered cove, with lines made fast to rocks ashore.
Also EH ships may not have possessed the necessary superstructures
and gear for heaving up the large heavy anchors that the Late
Bronze Age ships of the eastern Mediterranean carried.
The cataloguing, drawing and photographing
of the finds, as well as the classification of their features
and the tasks and problems connected with their conservation are
processed on our Apple Macintosh computer. The computer prints
out inventory cards containing all the above information, including
statistical data giving, for example, the frequency of each pottery
type, or the shapes of the querns and the total number of pots
in the Dokos cargo or cargos.
At the same time the treatment and
conservation of the finds by a team of conservationists continues
in the Spetsai Museum laboratory that the HIMA has organized and
equipped for this purpose.
On the basis of the results obtained
so far it seems that the great mass of Early Helladic II pottery
recovered from the underwater site at Myti Kommeni on Dokos was
part of the cargo of one or more EH ships that foundered, capsized
or jettisoned their load in this bay. The bay formed a natural
harbour, which would no doubt have always been the scene of much
activity and movement due to the settlement, possibly a trading
station, on the Myti Kommeni promontory during the Early Helladic
period (3rd millennium BC).
The large quantity of millstones
found on the main underwater site might well be part of the ship's
cargo and/or ballast.
Many of the small finds such as the
animal teeth, obsidian, spindle-whorl fragments and small pieces
of mudbrick that have been found on the sea bottom might well
have washed down from the EH settlement site on the shore and
should therefore be regarded as stray finds.
The picture of the underwater site
at Dokos is further clouded by the presence (although very limited)
among the EH pottery of plain and decorated Mycenaean sherds representing
the three main phases of the Mycenaean period: Late Helladic I,
II and III.
This Mycenaean material clearly came
from the large Mycenaean settlement on the headland, parts of
which have now been uncovered by the land excavation.
The projected 1992 campaign at Dokos, which will include a full-scale geological and geomorphological survey of the area, is expected to shed further light on the nature of the whole site.

Every email marketer, whether physician or small business owner, has had the same experience. After following all the best email practices they still aren't hearing back from those potential clients. There is a good chance the problem is those emails aren't reaching their intended recipients. That is why we want to help plastic surgeons with their email marketing to make sure it's delivered.
It is estimated that at least 20% of permission based emails are bounced, blocked, or returned to sender. There are some reasons for this that is difficult to avoid. Email servers sometimes become overloaded and return email for later attempts. Some Internet Service Providers have strict rules concerning unsolicited email. Unfortunately, Yahoo and Hotmail often interpret those rules in ways that land your solicited email up in the spam folder.
Ways to Make Sure that Email Gets Delivered
Develop a Good Online Reputation
When it comes to email marketing, reputation is everything. Suppose a patient leaves a comment on your web site with a complaint and you handle it poorly. One unhappy patient can then post negative comments about you on MD reviews sites, forums, tweets, Facebook, and a host of other places.
Before you know it, one negative has circulated to gain the appearance of a host of negatives. As a result a potential patient somewhere, sees those multiplied negatives and chooses to ignore your emails. With you being aware of this, you send them a new email and they report it as spam to their ISP.
TIP: What can you do? The first thing to do is to sign up for our free review tool. Most bad reviews can be overcome with a bit of work on your part. Actively engage prospects (especially those who have made negative comments) and ask what you can do better. The main thing is to be proactive about your online reputation.
Minimize Spam Complaints
There are many reasons email can be flagged as spam. Some of these include:
- Unrecognizable or misleading information in the from and subject line
- Frequency – too many emails in a short period of time
- No unsubscribe link
- Suspicious content: huge fonts, aggressive language, unprofessional tone
The main line of defense to being spammed is having a completely permission based email list. Also, be sure and clearly identify your practice and name; use a clear subject line, send relevant and well designed messages; and set clear expectations for how often emails will be sent. Never promise someone they will receive one email a month and send five a week!
Keep a Clean House
An email list filled with bad or closed email accounts will damage deliverability with many ISPs. Some may even block all emails from you. Here is a check list for cleaning up your email list:
- Remove all bounced accounts and all who request to be unsubscribed
- Identify and correct typos in your list
- Make sure there are no typos in domain names and extensions
- Contact list members if their information is outdated
Test, Test, Test
Always send a proof of every email to yourself and several other staff members. This "seed list" will uncover most of the problems mentioned above. HTML emails are great but can appear quite different when viewed by different email clients. Just as with your web site, emails should be tested with as many clients as possible (Outlook, Gmail, AOL, etc…).
Think of this as protecting your investment. Just as you have preventive maintenance done on your copier, spend a little time every month tuning up your email list. The difference will be well worth the time.

I dye my hair a lot of different colors, currently lilac. The reason I do this is because amongst my anxiety and worry and depression, I can sit there and think about what wonderful colors I can make my hair, and it gets my mind off things.
The world could use a little bit more color in it anyway.

The Wren Library was completed in 1695 under the Mastership of Isaac Barrow, who persuaded his friend Sir Christopher Wren to design it. The building work was carried out under the supervision of a local master mason, Robert Grumbold, who chose exterior stone with a pinkish tinge from a quarry in Rutland; the stone catches the evening sun quite beautifully.
The Library has exquisite classical proportions and maximises space and light having bookcases below window level. The first floor is decorated with limewood carving by Grinling Gibbons and furnished with a series of Roubiliac marble busts of College alumni, including naturalist John Ray and his friend Francis Willoughby, Richard Bentley, Francis Bacon and Sir Isaac Newton. At the far end of the library is a statue by Thorvaldsen of Lord Byron. This was originally intended for Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey, but was refused; Trinity was glad to accept it.
Manuscripts and printed books are kept in the Wren Library and there is also a modern library and reading room, which are not open to visitors. Some of the College's most notable manuscripts are displayed in the Wren Library, including an eighth century copy of the Epistles of St Paul, John Milton's shorter poems in his own handwriting and the original manuscript of Winnie-the-Pooh.
There is a virtual tour of the Wren Library Available Online

Yesterday was my one year anniversary of being diagnosed. The day before I got the amazing news that I am in remission.
This could mean that might be taken off meds all together and it is great! I am so happy that I cried in the doctors.
But for me it is sad news too. I remember making that call to Stephen and thinking to myself that everything was going to change. I am angry and upset that he couldn't last a year of the bad tl get me back to being in remission. I didn't even get operated on for Gods sakes!
I know in my heart that the crohns sparked the breakup and really I wasn't happy with him and I am worth so much more than he could or would ever give me. But I gave him all of me for him to treat me like I was faulty at the first hurdle. Yes I have crohns, does that mean that I should be just traded in? Add more stress and financial worry to someone already coping with their life being overhauled.
And to add to that, he did it on holiday with no support around me. And made me feel even more like crap by comparing me to the bitch of an ex.
I am so angry at myself for caring. I stopped for so long, but then I get these pangs of just being pissed at the baldy prick. How dare he finish it with me? Just when I needed him most.
More fool him though. I am worth so much more

Earth Day
So today is Earth Day. Mostly it's just an excuse for totalitarians to try to stamp down on industry. We've seen for years their attacks on coal, oil, gas, and really anything that pollutes.
Of course all of these things pollute, but not to the planet-fouling degree that they allege. And since all of these fuels are being burned in more efficient ways all the time, their pollution value is gradually declining.
Environmentalism is fueled by multiple groups. You've got the old style leftover commies that want to end American industry because they still think America is an oppressive capitalistic menace.
You've got the totalitarians that want to control all of business. They use EPA regulations and pollution standards to control business in fact, if not in form.
Then there are the "naturalists" who wish mankind never existed on earth. They inconceivably think that earth would be better off without man. They're a strange lot.
Then there are the well-meaning people that think they're doing something good. They've just been propagandized by the media. Basically they're just normal people who have been misled by others.
And so we have Earth Day. A 24 hour farce that comes about every year.

Words By Timothy Straw
Hybrid Theory came out in 2000 and frankly I hated it. What I mean to say is that I
assumed I hated it because I was a 20 year old punk living in Santa Barbara and listening to
nu-rap-whatever the hell-metal was out of the question. It was juvenile for high school kids, and I was so much better than that. I was also drinking daily and using whenever drug was around. I wasn't a drug addict person but, I was certainly a garbage pail. One night alone brought a handle of tequila, some speed, a little E, a bit of cocaine, a touch of opium and some pills. I know a few things about addiction.
I never actually listened to Linkin Park until I went on a few day binge with an old friend and he
bought their first record and regardless of my crap talking it was catchy. I waited till Meteora to really starting listening to them and I've consistently done so, despite the protestations of much cooler people.
I had the opportunity to see them at a KROQ almost acoustic Christmas where they played with AFIand a couple really crappy bands. POD for one was so awful the dude sitting next to me fell asleep.
We went outside and smoked through the Pennywise set. Offspring was amazing as always but, Linkin Park…and Chester's voice there isn't words to describe how powerful it is to see a band completely have a whole amphitheater at their beck and call. It was an almost spiritual experience and to this day they are in my top five all time favorite bands to have seen live.
I remember when Minutes to Midnight came out it's all I listened to, it's actually my favorite of theirs, and when I'm depressed its one of the records I put on. And now Chester is gone. He left and I understand. I understand how painful life can get. I know that when you're there, when you're ready to just fucking go and you're absolutely sure that everybody would be better without you, Sometimes you think that to continue living would actually be more selfish. That's what a lot of people don't understand about suicide. You can't intellectualize it. It doesn't make sense and you can't identify with that pain until you're in it, it's all emotion.
A tiredness that runs so deep the only thing to do is just to try to sleep. I don't condone suicide but, I understand it because I've been there. 2005 I drank my fill, swallowed my fill, called two ex's I was still in love with to say goodbye (they didn't answer or call me back.) I smoked my last cigarette and woke up three days later. I remember two things about those three days, which my mother told me my guardian angel is the angel of death and that I was never taken to a hospital. Obviously I lived but, for days after I wished I hadn't. When I got well again I was off drinking. I was unstoppable in my pursuit of death and I knew, without a single doubt in my heart that everybody I knew would benefit without me around. Eventually I got sober. Eventually I drank again. Eventually I was institutionalized. I live, it's not always easy. Depression is a son of a bitch that doesn't ever leave.
I understand Chester but, goddamn you. So many hearts have been broken mine included. I feel like I knew you in many respects, I guess maybe a lot of us do. I'm so sorry for your family. I hope the pain stopped but, I wish you could have found a way to live sober like I have. A way to make it through. I'm so sorry, bro.
"When my time comes forget the wrong that I've done help me leave behind some reasons to be missed. Don't resent me and when you're feeling empty keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest." Chester, Linkin Park empty keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest." Chester, Linkin Park.

By Michaela MacColl, 367 pages Grades 7 & Up
Seventeen year-old Liza's circumstances changed suddenly and for the worse. One day she was living a life of luxury in a fancy hotel with her parents and the next she is destitute, after her parents die in a carriage accident. Liza considers herself fortunate when she is hired to be the maid for the young princess (and soon to be queen), Victoria. She quickly finds herself caught up in the intrigue, with the previous maid mysteriously dismissed and the princess's mother and confidante trying to take away control from the soon to be queen.
Connections: For other tales of enterprising orphans from other eras, try reading Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Crispin: the Cross of Lead by Avi, and The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg by Rodman Philbrick. If none of those appeal, a subject search in our OPAC would reveal 190 books with the tracing of "orphan."

Alternative Provision
Alternative Provision is a specific support base for those students who struggle to maintain their place within the mainstream Academy setting, despite a range of interventions or due to a significant, serious one-off incident. This is predominantly a Key Sage 4 provision.
Nottingham Academy's in-house provision provides an appropriate, accessible and relevant curriculum for this group of students. The key focus is to ensure students follow an individualised pathway, to achieve success.
The ethos of the provision is "be the best you can be". This is recognised through all aspects of the curriculum, whether in the core subjects, vocational options or within the personal development and employability elements of the student's timetable.
The purpose of our in-house AP curriculum is to achieve academic success, with an emphasis on attaining GCSE English and Maths; alongside a range of vocational subjects which can be studied at level 1 or level 2. These include OCR National Sports, OCR Health and Social Care, V-Cert Food and Cookery and a range of other options. This is supported by a comprehensive PSHE/tutorial programme which aids the personal development of students, including the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
This year, an exciting partnership with 'Think Forward' also adds a new dimension to the AP offer. This programme aims to improve our students with regard to their work ready capabilities and will offer a range of work related and employability activities. Every student will have a regular 1:1 tutorial with a dedicated coach to assist their academic, social and emotional progress.
Curriculum Offer
GCSE Maths, GCSE English, GCSE Psychology, AQA PSHE, Employability Studies, Duke of Edinburgh Award, ELC Science, ELC History, 1:1 tutorial and Vocational Options:

- Music Technology
- Construction
- Catering
- Health and Social Care
During their time within us, students will always be encouraged to reflect on their actions and develop their ability to self-regulate, in order to improve their attainment, behaviour and attendance at Alternative Provision. This may mean a return to mainstream provision is an option if appropriate. We expect high levels of engagement, progress and achievement from our students. Students are supported through a range of opportunities, to build their self-confidence, self-esteem and leadership traits so that they leave with qualifications and skills that lead to positive post 16 destinations and ensure that the students are employable in the future. This approach requires individualised and intensive support, with a well-constructed behaviour support plan designed to provide positive behaviour, regular attendance and a sense of achievement.

Healthwatch: The Horsemen of Sasquatchery
Posted by: Loren Coleman on June 27th, 2008
Peter von Puttkamer's classic 1999 documentary, Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt for Bigfoot has brought into our everyday jargon a phrase well-known in today's hominology, "The Four Horsemen of Sasquatchery."
They weren't called the "Four Horsemen of Sasquatchery" because of the film. It is because of a drawing by my late friend Eric Devoreg. It first appeared on my wall…then on the cover of Ray Crowe's Western Bigfoot Society's newsletter a few years before the film. Eric was a student of Grover Krantz and became interested in Bigfoot because of his association with him. Sadly Eric died in his sleep at the very young age of 31 years old.
~ Larry Lund, Washington State Bigfoot researcher
The four individuals profiled in von Puttkamer's film are Rene Dahinden, John Green, Peter Bryne, and Grover Krantz.
They all earned that title in the documentary because of their pivotal roles in the early days of Sasquatch, and then Bigfoot research.
But the years move on and people die. Today, two have passed away – Krantz and Dahinden – and two remain left of the four horsemen.
Of the four, the majority, three – Dahinden, Green, and Bryne – had been members of the 1960 Pacific Northwest Bigfoot expedition (campfire scene below), bankrolled by Texas oil and beef millionaire Tom Slick.
Grover Krantz was the professor, and not seen really as a member of the "men's club" of Bigfoot hunters. Krantz got on television programs, like "In Search Of…," just as much as the others, ultimately, and had an impact on the field.
Some have always felt that the real "fourth horseman" should have been Bob Titmus, but such is the fraternity of Bigfooters that there is forever going to be debates about who is the most important among these male primates.
Today's reality is that the entire generation of those who were there, those who had been in British Columbia in the late 1950s, or at Bluff Creek in 1958, are growing old. Shock certainly was most recently felt when University of Washington professor emeritus of anthropology and friendly Bigfoot researcher Daris R. Swindler, 82, died suddenly in Spokane, Washington, on December 6, 2007.
Concern certainly is in the air when the word goes out that someone – especially one of the "Four Horsemen of Sasquatchery" – is ill. Of late, folks are mentioning that John Green, 81, the author of the definitive Bigfoot work Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us is sick and not able to get around much. Hopefully, John will get well soon.
John Green (right) interviews Albert Ostman about his Sasquatch encounter.
Additionally, an honorary "horseman" of the era, Al Hodgson, 84, is said to be having health issues. Al is a curator of the Bigfoot museum in the Humboldt County town of Willow Creek, California, just down the road from the site of the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film, Bluff Creek (in Del Norte County). Hodgson was for many years the owner and fixture at the Willow Creek General Store. His historic knowledge of Bigfoot events in the area may be unmatched. Indeed, he has lived in Willow Creek since 1933.
Hodgson (photo above) was the person to whom Roger Patterson first talked, outside of Gimlin, after the famed 1967 footage was taken.
In 1975, when I visited Willow Creek, I looked up Hodgson to discuss Bigfoot, after a couple years of hanging out in the Bay Area talking about the hairy guys with Jim McClarin, George Haas, Rene Dahinden, Archie Buckley, and others. It was important to check in with the pioneers and guardians of an era now long gone. Those were the days.
My sincere best wishes to Green and Hodgson, and quick recoveries to both of them.

Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world's leading cryptozoologists, some say "the" leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson's Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman's daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.

Tri an Mhi Trim Castle Duathlon Series Race 1
On Sunday last, the majestic Trim Castle provided the backdrop for the first in a two race duathlon series for host club Tri an Mhi. A cool but dry morning offered a gentle reminder that while it may indeed be Spring, it could well be a few more weeks before Mother Nature decides to show it as air temperature managed only 7 C for race start at 9:30am.
The run portions offered competitors an interesting mix of trail and grass surfaces over an undulating course before entering transition for the first time aside the impressive Trim Castle walls.
At the head of affairs, a group of three (Killian Heery, Richard Doyle, Michael Reilly) detached itself from the chasers with all three getting through transition without a hitch and swiftly away to continue their battle over the fast bike course.
Local man Kevin Gileece was a few seconds behind on the run but was unfortunate to suffer a non bike related mechanical. Taking second place last year in the same race, he was one of the favourites to take outright glory this time around. His glasses broke with the impact being that he was undecided about whether he would be capable of continuing or not. A helpful marshal offered her own glasses which he gladly accepted and so continued to race albeit with a delay of more than two minutes.
The women's race was also shaping up to be a closely fought affair. Bronagh Adams who took fourth place in race two of last year's series was showing the early pace by entering transition 23 seconds ahead of the Pulse pairing of LizAnne Barnwall and Laura Ward.
The bike course is flat for the first 8km before turning left onto a very gentle rise to Rathmolyon village. Another left turn onto some gentle downhill twists on a good road surface always generates plenty of speed for those willing to push on before heading back into Trim via Laracor junction.
When the Triathlon Ireland motorcycle marshals returned to race HQ, they highlighted a number of transgressions and so offender's race numbers were quickly written up on the penalty board.
Meanwhile, the second run was now well underway and definite gaps formed throughout the 99 entrants.
Entering the finishing straight, Killian Heery from Muckno triathlon club was well out on his own and striding confidently to break the tape in 54 minutes 51 seconds. Despite a quicker second run spilt, Richard Doyle had to settle for second place 33 seconds adrift with Michael Reilly over a minute further behind.
LizAnne Barnwall (Pulse Triathlon) maintained her pressure and in the end was rewarded with her effort by taking the win from Bronagh Adams by a sizeable margin of 98 seconds. Former professional cyclist Geraldine Gill from Bohermeen has been making good progress of late on the Duathlon scene. Her strong bike background and good race management paid off with a fine third place finish just 4 seconds back.
As touched on earlier, five competitors were issued with bike drafting penalties, two were issued with blocking penalties and two were issued with DQ's.
As host club, we compliment the race officials on a job well done throughout the day. We thank our volunteers, civil defence, Meath County Council and An Garda Siochana for ensuring that competitors can race in a safe environment.
See you all again on April 12th for the second race in the series.
Men - 1st Killian Heery 54mins 51sec, 2nd Richard Doyle 55mins 24sec, 3rd Michael Reilly 56min 38sec.
Women - 1st LizAnne Barnwall 62mins 51sec, 2nd Bronagh Adams 64mins 29sec, 3rd Geraldine Gill 64mins 33sec.

Organic & Natural Serums
Serums are skin boosters that enhance and compliment your skin care moisturisers. They are typically a light liquid blend of water-soluble ingredients and often include a small quantity of oils. An infusion of active ingredients that are determined by the product function is added to the serum base.
Serums are most often applied before a moisturiser in a layering process. With this application, it functions as a booster with added benefits. Serums may also serve as a light moisturiser when applied alone for oily, combination or normal skin or when used in humid climates.
How to use
Apply our organic serums morning and evening after cleansing, before moisturising. Serums have a small molecular structure that can penetrate deeply into skin and deliver a high concentration of active ingredients. This makes them excellent at targeting specific skincare concerns.
Beauty tips
For oily or combination skin best suited with a lighter application of the facial oil, mix 1 pump of Emerald Sun and 1 pump of the ISUN facial oil for your skin type. This will hydrate the skin and facilitate deeper penetration of the nutrient oil moisturiser leaving a radiant glow with no greasy feeling.
Phyto-Infusion Serum - Blend with 'Emerald Sun Hydrosol' for a super-light, sheer feeling (ideal for oily skin). Blend with a selected ISUN moisturising oil to create a lighter, creamy application of the oil that is more rapidly absorbed. Blend with Peptide Eye Cream to add regenerating benefits to the cream (or apply the serum around the eyes before applying the eye cream.)
Radiant Light - For best results, gently exfoliate skin first with ISUN Crystal Cleansing Exfoliant. Apply Radiant Light Serum and follow with the ISUN facial oil moisturiser for your skin type.
The collection
ISUN offers 5 distinctive natural serums, each with its own unique function to repair, brighten, balance and rejuvenate all skin types and concerns. Vegan plant stem cells, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic acid, CoQ10, antioxidants, peptides and algae are just some of the key active ingredients found in our serums.

In today's Guardian, several music critics write, sometimes very movingly, about the songs that can bring them to tears. It's a subject most of us can relate to, including me. Many songs have made me cry over the years; I've cried to Nick Drake, Tim Buckley, the Velvet Underground, REM, Palace, Bonnie Prince Billy, Mazzy Star, Johnny Cash, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Kristin Hersh, and countless others – indeed, there are few artistes who haven't made me bawl at some stage. But the ones that stick in my memory at the moment are the ones that got to me last year, just after an old friend who was just a few months older than me died very suddenly of what was either an aneurysm or a heart attack (the post mortem couldn't reach a conclusion). Everyone who knew him was stunned by his death, which didn't seem quite real, like all sudden deaths. A day or two after he died, I was trying and failing to work so I went for a walk in my local park, listening to Hot Chip's then recently-released album One Life Stand. And less than a minute into the third song, I found myself crying.
A pulsating dance song doesn't seem like the sort of thing to bring on sobs, but this song did. It was the lyrics, particularly this section: "Nothing is wasted, life is worth living…There is a day that is yours for embracing, everything's nothing, nothing is ours…"
I think what set me off was the "nothing is wasted" line, the idea that even if someone is gone there was a point to them being here, that their lives weren't wasted, that everything goes to nothingness in the end but that's okay. Anyway, tears started trickling down my cheeks as I walked along, but I didn't stop walking. As the synthy strings soared, I somehow felt uplifted as well as sad, as if all that was needed was just to keep marching along to the beat. The combination of the bittersweet lyrics and melancholy dance music was, it turned out, just what I needed.
It wasn't the only song that made me cry around that time. The day after my friend died I was listening to Charlotte Gainsbourg's IRM on the bus on my way in to meet fellow stunned and bereaved friends for a drink, and half the songs on it made me tear up. 'In The End"s sweetly sad melody combined with the words "who's to say it's all for the best in the end?" had me turning away from the person sitting next to me so he wouldn't see how red my eyes and nose were.
It says something about both those songs that when I was checking those Youtube links and listened to them again, they still both made me cry. And yet, in a weird way, like a lot of the songs that make you cry, they made me feel strangely better afterwards.
What about you? What songs bring you to tears?

Reggae artist Chronixx talked to ABQ-Live exclusively about his music, his recent collaboration with Adidas and his plans for the future, as he gets ready to take the stage at Sunshine Theater Wednesday April, 5th at 8pm.
Interview and story by Brenda Paiz
The 24-year-old Jamaican reggae singer, who comes from a musical family, got his start when he was about six years old. Having a father who was also in the reggae music scene, Chronixx says he feels very fortunate to have been exposed to more than just the music as a child.
"[Having a family with a musical background] exposed me to the process of making music…one of the first thing I experienced was the process of recording and writing music," he recalls. "I remember just going to the studio with my father and watching him make music: that was one of the greatest influences in terms of how I've chose to operate as a musician."
With a number of records already under his belt, Chronixx talks about his latest single "Majesty" and the message that he wants women to take from it.
"The song was meant to outline divinity of women in general. It's a love song that isn't just a 'romantic/intimate' love song, it's just a love song in general for the divinity of women," he says, "from the grandmother, to the mother, to the sister, to the daughter…every woman is majestic."
After briefly discussing the new music and upcoming album (no release date yet) Chronixx explains how an idea with a friend, blossomed into a collaboration with Adidas, as Chronixx was named the face of the 2017 Spezial collection. The collection which draws inspiration from Jamaican life, Adidas originals, and soccer (or futbol, as Chronixx and the rest of the world calls it,) is available in stores and online.
While discussing his accomplishments, Chronixx began to talk about his holistic views and lifestyle that stem from his Rastafarian beliefs.
"As a part of Rastafarian movement and community , you're automatically evolved into the philosophy and the beliefs of the teachings. And once you see yourself as a part of the earth and that the earth provides everything that you need for your nutrition, you make that change," he says. "Ever since I started to practice the teachings , that's where my diet and everything changed which was a few years ago."
Chronixx continues to talk about how Rastafarian practices have changed his life and freed his soul by correcting natural imbalances in his life. And as he aims to become more unified with the earth itself, his success has become more mainstream in the United States as well. Chronixx performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in February, which he says is such a great platform and had an amazing experience.
In addition to national television, Chronixx has recently been featured in Vogue, Self Magazine, GQ and CNBC. The future looks bright for this rising star, but for now he says he just wants to continue making music and living a wonderful life.
If you haven't checked out Chronixx yet, find him on Spotify/ Apple music or follow him on Instagram @chronixxmusic. See him live tomorrow night at Sunshine Theatre.

Pizza Delivery Adventures
Working in delivery, you are the often referred to as the "face of the business."
For example, in one of the jobs I currently hold, I deliver pizza.
There are normally two people working in the store for every driver also working.
The drivers handle most of the transactions with customers in store, at the front till.
We also obviously see all the customers in their homes too.
So when customers are judging the food and the service, it has a lot to do with the drivers.
There are certain expectations made of us by the international chain of pizza store I work for.
They tell us how to dress, how we can wear our hair, how our facial hair can be groomed, the number of piercing (ears or otherwise) we are allowed to have and countless other things. There are probably 20-25 things listed off in a handy graphic board posted in the staff bathroom.
But what about the customers.
We judge them too.
Here are the 5 Strangest Things that have happened to Me Delivering Pizzas
High school cheerleaders, dripping wet from a winter hot tub session, gave me their number instead of a tip.
Was in my low 30s at the time.
I even thought it was creepy.
Delivered pizza twice now to the same strip club.
The first time, it was for an actual stripper.
During the exchange of money for food, her breast popped out of her "shirt."
She didn't fix it, didn't even acknowledge that it happened.
I once got stuck backing out of a customers driveway during a snow storm.
The customer refused to allow me to use a shovel that was sitting on their porch, let alone help me get unstuck.
People think their walls are sound proof.
I can assure you they are not.
I hear arguments between couples about frivolous spending (like $30+ for a couple pizzas), parenting (you need to hold this &^&^%$&^%^ kid so I can pay for your ^&$%^()&()&() pizza) and other fun subjects.
And arguably, the funniest/strangest thing I ever saw/heard on delivery was this.
Customer: "Get this disgusting piece of %^%^& pizza out of here."
Me: "You're welcome to keep it and we will bring you a replacement."
Customer: " I don't even want it in my house."
Me: "Ok. I'll take it. Please phone the store and tell them how your pizza was supposed to be prepared."
Here's the background of that incident.
The customer ordered their food online, told us how to make it, chose the toppings and clearly messed it up themselves.
But to them it was our fault.
They asked for a pizza with double cheese on half, no cheese on the other half and pepperoni on the side with no cheese.
It actually did look disgusting.
But that it what they ordered for themselves, there was no lost in translation or description through out customer service people.
It was quite an ordeal to fix and when she phoned the store to try and fix it, she explained it wrong a second time and got a second pizza that was also made incorrectly before I finally cleared it up for the pizza makers.
It should have been double cheese and pepperoni on half and a plain cheese on the other half.
Seems pretty simple in hindsight.
Customer service can be a crazy job. Let's here your stories in the comments.

Avid traveler Jill Golden is the designer behind handmade jewelry line Flutter. Through her signature chain-wrapped and plated jewelry, Golden channels her past experience at Cartier and David Yurman into refined eclectic pieces that evoke the feel of her various destinations, from Morocco to Boulevard St. Germain in Paris. In 2012, Golden launched Isaro, a hand-woven beaded collection produced in conjunction with social enterprise Indego Africa.
When did you officially launch your own jewelry collection?
I was making jewelry as a side project and outlet for my creativity for years, but officially launched the collection for Spring 2009.
What was your first piece?
I launched with two collections. The Barcelona Collection, which is chain wrapped stones, inspired by the Gaudi mosaics– the Gracia bracelet is still one of my favorite designs. And the Greece collection–a series of ring and bangle sets with a studded motif.
How did the chunky spikey bracelets evolve into a delicate collection of hand woven Japanese beads?
My design aesthetic is constantly evolving, but it is always some combination of pretty and edgy, which is also a characteristic of the Isaro collection, which features edgy, spiky castings and the delicate bead weaving.
Can you tell us about your new line, Isaro?
I've had a bead loom since I was about 10 years old and have pulled it out many times over the years. Last year, I was creating these beautiful pieces, but knew that I could not handle production alone. I decided I wanted to do a Fair Trade production partnership and found the Social Enterprise Indego Africa while searching online. Beadweaving on a loom is not traditionally an African craft, but I knew they had a cooperative of artisans that would be up for the challenge of learning this new skill. We sent over the looms and training manuals, we ship in the Japanese glass beads, and the Ejo Hazaza Cooperative in Rwanda handles all of the beading production. The pieces are then finished in New York with Swarovski findings and brass castings.
Is there a charitable component? How much of the proceeds go overseas? What benefit is it providing to the people in Africa?
The women are paid a Fair Labor wage and I contribute to Indego Africa with each piece. All of Indego Africa's money goes back to the women in training and development. Here are two quotes from women in Ejo Hazaza that depict the benefits better than I can:
"I feel proud to know the bracelet I made is being worn by someone else proudly, far away."
"This partnership has really improved our lives because we are now able to buy the basic things we need."
Where did you stay on your recent visit to Rwanda? What were the accommodations like?
I was in Rwanda for almost two weeks and stayed in Kigali, the capital city. We stayed at a lovely hotel, Chez Lando, and while it wasn't luxurious, the rooms were very comfortable, the grounds were beautifully landscaped and the people were kind and attentive. We also spent two days at the Volcano National Park, one of the last places on earth where you can still visit the Mountain Gorillas –the same place Dian Fossey did her Gorillas in the Mist research. This was an incredible experience and one that I will never forget.
In what way did the trip impact you most?
I have been working virtually with the Indego Africa team in Kigali and the Artisans for the past year but nothing can compare to living a day in their lives. I was inspired by their strength and beauty and impressed by the work they do and the smiles on their faces with the conditions that challenge them. While their lives certainly have their challenges, the spirit of the Rwandan people is contagious. I felt so creative while I was there, my head was spinning with ideas and every time I look at my photographs I can conjure up their spirit.
Will your collection always have a charitable component moving forward?
For a long time I wanted to do something charitable but nothing felt true to my business and me until I found this partnership. I will continue to let that dictate the direction we go– staying true to the brand and not forcing something. It is very gratifying to know that in our own small way we are doing something good for others.
How do you see the collection evolving? What are you working on for next season to keep things fresh and original?
I just started working with textiles and I see that continuing. Spring/Summer is a time for bright graphic patterns and I love mixing different materials and styles in unexpected ways – that's all I can say for now!

Level design / 2d art, modelling, graphics
This is actually one of my (if not THE) favourite Half-Life experiences.
Some really minor flaws, like its a bit unstable (its a mod afterall), and the physics I dont feel contribute much to the experience (some of the gibs and ragdolls are actually a bit frustrating gameplay-wise)--but they´re superminor gripes next to what I have to deal with real AAA games.
VERY good job guys!
---huge plus for making the enemies properly creepy (i love the zombies here) and threatening, that felt super refreshing, these days its really rare to feel threatened in games.

Of course, Fieri — who counts NBA scout amongst his several talents — is not exactly known for getting a champion of healthful foods. Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) is a service Amazon delivers sellers that lets them store their items in Amazon's warehouses, and Amazon straight does the choosing, packing, shipping and customer service on these things. Each and every vegetarian with a critical really like of food, and indeed a lot of carnivores who can recognise a extremely great thing when they taste it, will discover this an indispensable addition to their cookery book collection. BM: Folks believed that vegetables have been better and that it wasn't essential to have meat in their diet. Not everyone wants to be a full-time vegetarian and the writer behind this clever, flexitarian" cookbook knows that.
It consists of over 50 enticing vegetarian recipes in a mixture of classic and modern food styles from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Orient and the Americas. But in 1995 a couple attending an antiquarian book fair in England came upon a copy of Lewando's cookbook. Rapid — most meals shouldn't take more than 30-40 minutes to prepare, since athletes are normally pretty busy. A extensive hardback cookbook with over 60 inspirational recipes and clear and accessible info about essential vegan components, you will discover concepts for tasty breakfasts, brunch suggestions and dinner ingredients such as rich pasta sauces, spicy burgers with sweet potato wedges and versatile pizzas.
With endorsements from former president Bill Clinton, Sir Paul McCartney, and Jay-Z, this is the fancy vegan cookbook folks will be speaking about for years. Lewando and her husband died for the duration of Planet War II, and it was assumed that all but a handful of household-owned and archival copies of her cookbook vanished along with most of European Jewry.
I have a ton of vegetarian cookbooks, and right here are some of my favorites: Vegetarian Planet, Didi Emmons The Millennium Cookbook, Eric Tucker (1 of the fancier ones) Vegetarian Cooking for Every person, Deborah Madison (has difficult AND simple) Consume A lot more Weigh Significantly less, Dean Ornish Verdura, Viana La Location (not veg particularly,but mostly) Vegetable Heaven, Mollie Katzen Recipes for an Ecological Kitchen, Lorna Sass.
A cookbook published in 1938 in Yiddish doesn't sound like a slam dunk to be a bestseller in 2015, and however that is precisely what happened. Rather than approaching vegetarianism from a dry, didactic standpoint, this main new book requires as its beginning point the principle that vegetarian cooking is a single of the most interesting, dynamic areas in food today and provides a collection of the really best recipes the world's different cuisines have to offer.

Piezo Controls and Software
Aerotech's A3200 distributed motion control platform allows control of up to 32 axes of piezo, servo, and stepper motor stages with no integration headaches, special communication protocols, or custom software. The powerful A3200 control package includes a host of features and diagnostic capabilities like single- or multi-axis Position Synchronized Output (PSO) for real-time event triggering, and advanced control features that improve tracking error and overall process throughput.
Because piezo stages are treated as just another axis in our control architecture, the end result is simple and less costly integration, higher-throughput systems, and a powerful controller in command of every element of the motion system.
The Ensemble QDe, Ensemble QL/QLe, and Ndrive QL/QLe allow you to easily network piezo drives with servo stages AND perform tightly coordinated motion with all of these axes.
Advanced Tuning Tools That Are Simple To Use
Our controllers have many advanced, yet easy-to-use, features and Aerotech's EasyTune® is just one of these. EasyTune is the most advanced autotuning tool available in a commercial motion controller. Entirely data-driven, the algorithm largely mimics the process followed by an experienced controls engineer. Many existing tuning techniques rely on basic model-fitting or "rules-of-thumb" that ignore machine resonances or nonlinear behavior, but EasyTune directly measures and compensates for these effects. It assumes no prior knowledge of the system properties, and begins with a system identification operation. It continues with the development of a baseline stabilizing controller followed by progressively more sophisticated compensation via loop-shaping procedures. The final controller has the highest bandwidth practical for that particular stage system.
Simply put, all you need to do is hit "Start" and then sit back and let EasyTune do all of the work for you.
Graphically Create Complex Trajectories With Ease
Creating and programming complex trajectories can be a daunting task. That is why we've created a simple and easy-to-use program called Motion Designer. Motion Designer, included with all Q-Series piezo drives, allows the user to create complete trajectories graphically in a very simple and intuitive manner. With plotting and analysis capabilities built-in, the Motion Designer application allows you to program and troubleshoot complex trajectories with lightning speed.
Trigger Events Based On Actual Stage Position
Using Aerotech's Position Synchronized Output (PSO), you can trigger external events, such as data acquisition, image capture, or laser firing, based on actual stage position. Many competitive controllers require event-based triggering in the time-domain or based on the commanded stage position. This requires very low-latency, high-accuracy timing as well as very good velocity tracking of the motion system. Using Aerotech's PSO, the external event is triggered off of the actual stage position based on a stored array or window. The end result is a much simpler integration and a more accurate process.
Whatever your application may be, our extensive experience and expertise developed over decades of studying state-of-the-art motion control is at your service. Contact one of our Application Engineers at any time to discuss how Aerotech can optimize your process.

Miss Angelina started her teaching career 17 years ago in Canada Water. Miss Angelina is delighted to announce that after all these years she will is returning to launch her very own dance studios, CANADA WATER STUDIOS. Miss Angelina and her husband, Julian are in the final stages of negotiating the purchase of a ground floor 3000 sq ft property only 100 yards from Canada Water underground/bus station.
Canada Water Studios will be fitted out with two air conditioned, fully sprung dance studios; a large mirrored dance studio approx 1200 sq ft and a smaller multi-purpose Pilates (Reformer) studio of around 500 sq ft, with the remainder of the space assigned to changing rooms, reception etc
Adult DANCE/FITNESS classes will run before and after work; mummy and baby classes; pre and post pregnancy classes and a range of fun weekend classes for the family in a variety of dance genres will all take place at the studios. Miss Angelina will also be running some exciting Dance Holiday Camps for Children which she hopes the Vacani children may benefit from, especially as there are direct trains running between Clapham Junction and Canada Water.
The new Studios will not impact Miss Angelina's commitment to her current classes at Vacani.
