Clockwise: Evelyn "Champagne" King; D.Train; Vanity; and Chaz Jankel.
Do you remember where you were thirty years ago? The year was 1982, and I was having quite the year. I was finishing up college in Reading, Pennsylvania. In the fall, I moved to Louisville, Kentucky, to start an internship at The Actor's Theatre of Louisville, a prestigious regional theater. I was the intern for the shop, and was helping to build sets for the season. The next year, after returning home, I would be moving to New York City. So I decided to check out the top dance songs found on the Billboard magazine Hot Dance Club Play number one hits of 1982. While I was busy working at ATL, enjoying the work with Tech Director Tom, Master Carpenter Joel, and carpenter Sly, so there was no time for me to go out to any of the dance clubs. Hey, I didn't even have a car, and had to depend on the kindness of other for a ride. But Prince was certainly making his presence felt on the charts, since the #1 on the Dance Chart for the month of November was by the group Vanity 6, put together by the artist currently known as Prince. He also wrote the song, although the credit was given to lead singer Vanity. The song was Nasty Girl, and it was fantastic!
I moved to Louisville in September, and had a small furnished apartment to myself. My only source of music was an alarm clock/radio I brought with me, and I had more of a penchant to listening to rock, but rock was tough to find in Louisville. But I remember Love Comes Down from Pop radio, as the song made it into the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. But it was also #1 on the Dance charts for three straight weeks in September & October for the effervescent Evelyn "Champagne" King. Here is King singing the great song written by Kashif, whose star shone so bright in the 80s and 90s.
In the early part of 1982, I was trying to figure out what I would be doing once I was out of college. It was then I got together with my adviser, Lynn Morrow, and came up with the plan to take the internship at ATL before moving to New York. There I would be meeting up with Bill, who was also leaving Reading in the fall to attend grad school at Columbia. Yes, there was much on my mind, but I do remember that, for seven consecutive weeks, from February 20 to April, the #1 dance song in the charts was Chaz Jankel. With one of the more interesting packaging ploys, with a trio of "A" sides, Glad To Know You, 3,000,000 Synths, and Ai No Corrida, were topping the chart. Jankel was best known for his work with Ian Drury as part of the rock band Ian Drury and the Blockheads in the 1970s. It is said that Drury brought the rock, while Jankel brought the funk to give the band a distinctive sound. So here he is delivering his own groove in Ai No Corrida, a song he also wrote.
I have to admit, at the early part of 1982, I was going out to The Glass Door in Reading, Pennsylvania, the big gay club in town. I would go out with Bill and dance and play. This was a great time. We'd go out, meet up with Russel-Bob and others, and drink a bit too much, and dance a bit too hard. We'd head home a sweaty mess. And I do remember dancing to the final song in this post. For three weeks in a row, from the end of January until the middle of February, the #1 Dance song in the clubs was D. Train singing You're The One For Me. While D. Train was officially a duo mad up of James "D. Train" Williams and Hubert Eaves III, Williams was the face and voice of the group. The song first hit the charts in 1981, but came back the following year with a great dance remix.
Whew, might be time to go shower after all that dancing!

Developer Bruce Thompson ducked into the dimly lit hotel martini bar.
"This is where we work out our deals, in dark back rooms," he said Friday, sitting down on a sleek leather couch. "Everything you've heard is true."
It was the slightly defensive joke of a man who knows the rap against him but believes it's undeserved.
Yes, he's an aggressive businessman. Thompson, 61, won't apologize for that. "We go deer hunting with Uzis," he said. "We're in the game to win."
His company, Gold Key/PHR Hotels & Resorts, owns seven Oceanfront hotels and timeshare resorts – with an eighth under construction – and a handful of restaurants. His businesses are upscale, lavishly landscaped with flowers, sea grasses, palms and outdoor fire pits.
Yes, he's received city support for two projects – the 31st Street Hilton and a mixed-use project on Laskin Road – and is seeking $18 million for a third, and perhaps his most ambitious: the renovation of the historic Cavalier Hotel and surrounding properties. Thompson is expected to close on the $35.1 million deal by July 22.
His vision for the estimated $259 million project includes transforming the 1927 hotel into a "five-star" experience, with a spa, a wedding chapel and perhaps a celebrity chef. A public hearing on the city's contribution is scheduled Tuesday, with a City Council vote set July 2.
What Thompson says he doesn't understand is the outcry when he steps up for projects city officials say they want and on which they are willing to spend money.
"Everybody had the same information and opportunity to see the vision the city has," he said of The Cavalier deal. "So we did it, and what happens? I'm criticized."
Not far from the martini bar, guests at Thompson's privately financed Ocean Beach Club on 34th Street lounged around a shimmering pool on chairs with cushions as thick as mattresses. Kids frolicked in a shaded splash park.
Competitors might gripe, Thompson said, "But what am I supposed do? Not build projects like this?"
In the early 2000s, Thompson became a lightning rod for criticism when the city selected his plan for a Hilton hotel on 31st Street, an area used as a park.
Preservationists came out against the hotel, and 58 percent of voters supported a nonbinding referendum to keep the land a park – a path the City Council chose not to follow.
In 2003, Thompson struck a deal to build the hotel. The city put nearly $32 million into the $79 million project for a parking garage, park and land.
The Hilton has been a huge success, city officials say, generating about $3.5 million annually in city tax revenue, according to the most recent analysis. They say the Hilton was a catalyst for tourism development at the Oceanfront and proved Virginia Beach could attract tourists willing to spend more.
"His projects are a huge lift for the Oceanfront," said Steve Herbert, the city's chief development officer. "He's operating at the highest level of quality and design."
While Thompson's projects aren't the only reason, the average family income of Virginia Beach tourists has increased in the past five years, to $100,640 from $85,928, according to city surveys.
"He's upgraded the product," said Jim Ricketts, the city's tourism director. "He's had an impact. There's no question about it."
Some suspect Thompson is favored politically.
"He seems to have an inside track on a lot of things, that's for sure," said Kary Karageorge, part owner of an Oceanfront Hampton Inn. "But he does a lot of good. I give Bruce credit. Everything he does, he does first class."
Thompson and Gold Key have given more than $100,000 to local and state candidates in the past decade, including Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms and Norfolk Mayor Paul Fraim, according to the Virginia Public Access Project.
Some see Thompson's relationship with Virginia Beach's City Hall as productive.
"People think there's this backroom relationship between Bruce, the council, the mayor and the city manager," said Joe Taylor, president and CEO of Taylor's Do-It Center and longtime Oceanfront resident. "I think it's a great relationship that's a win-win whenever they get together on a project."
Part of Thompson's success is finding common ground with city officials on urban design principles, such as pedestrian-friendly streets, landscaping and open-air dining.
On Thursday, a gathering celebrated the opening of Thompson's newest venture, 31Ocean, a $72 million mixed-use project anchoring the redesign of the Laskin Road corridor to the Oceanfront. The city is spending about $40 million on the roads, including a traffic circle and utilities.
As usual, Thompson's design drew compliments.
"Nice colors," said Councilman Glenn Davis, who showed up for the event. "Bright and airy."
Thompson likes to think big.
But he notices small things, too.
While walking through Big Italy, his trio of connected restaurants on Atlantic Avenue, Thompson was pointing out how each restaurant has its own mood when he realized one, Cafe Amarino, was quiet.
"Where's the music?" he asked a staffer behind the gelato counter.
Music instantly started.
"Too loud," he said, making a gesture of quiet until it reached his preferred level.
Down the street at Catch 31, the restaurant attached to the Hilton, Thompson eyed a salad.
"That lettuce doesn't look very green, does it?" he said.
An empty table with dirty dishes caught his eye.
Latest News
"When you get a chance, get someone to bus those tables," he told a manager.
As for Thompson's newest venture, he said he visits The Cavalier site every day for inspiration. He plans to spend at least $40 million to renovate the old hotel. The goal, he said, is to make it a cross between The Inn at Little Washington in Northern Virginia and the historic Jefferson Hotel in Richmond.
While restoring The Cavalier, he'll probably tear down its newer companion hotel across Atlantic Avenue to have a clean slate to develop the prime Oceanfront property.
"It will rival anything in the mid-Atlantic," he said.

FS#4792 - Water: enhanced buoys

OK, I believe this has already been rejected before in the past, but before anyone directs this request straight to the bin I'd like to make a renewed plea for the inclusion of enhanced buoys (i.e. buoys as stations) in OTTD. This is one of the features I miss most from TTDP, and I firmly believe it would be of value here as well for the following reasons:
1) Docks can only be built on canals and rivers buy raising the adjacent land, which isn't ideal. Enhanced buoys would offer a better alternative, IMO.
2) Likewise, docks cannot be built on canals or rivers that are only one tile wide, which is an unnecessary and unrealistic restriction. Enhanced buoys would offer a way around this.
3) Enhanced buoys would allow cargo to be transfered from one ship to another while at sea. This is done in real life and would be useful in terms of gameplay, i.e. transfering cargo from a smaller ship to a larger ship.
4) With regards to industries I've heard it said that enhanced bouys simply aren't necessary as sea-based industries can be coded with a built-in dock, but I don't believe that's true! AFAIK a sea-based industry with build-in dock must also have a built-in heliport, which isn't ideal for something like fishing grounds (as in FIRS). Use of enhaced buoys would arguably be more realistic anyway.
5) It would allow OTTD to be compatible with older grfs like Michael Blunck's New Cargo. Sure, you can build a dock next to those fishing grounds by raising land in the middle of the sea, but that's expensive, ugly and unrealistic.
This task depends upon
Comment by andythenorth (andythenorth) - Friday, 25 August 2017, 10:48 GMT
I am +1 to this. The built-in dock/heliport has multiple problems, as per
FS#5682 and related tasks.

Have you seen that link at the top of some of the messages in your inbox? You know, "Having trouble viewing this message? Click here to read it in your browser."? That's called a Web Version URL, and it's how Email Service Providers like iContact work with common layout and style problems in inboxes.
Not every inbox renders HTML and CSS the same. You'd be surprised how different an email with background images, margins and padding, and borders can look if you're reading it in Outlook or Gmail or Yahoo or AOL.
We like Web Version URLs because they let your subscribers read your email in their browser as opposed to their inbox. The benefit is browsers are more robust than inboxes and they handle things like background images, custom spacing, and borders with ease.
Use a Web Version URL
- In Salesforce, click the iContact MessageBuilder tab or log in to iContact directly.
- If you clicked the iContact MessageBuilder tab, click the message you want to add the Web Version URL to; if you logged in to iContact directly, click Email > Messages, then click the message you want to add the Web Version URL to.
- Near the top of the email, type "Having trouble viewing this message? Click here to read it in your browser." Of course, you can change the text to anything you want.
- Highlight "Click here to see it in your browser", click the Text tab on the editor toolbar, then click the Link icon in the Format section.
- Change the Link Type to Merge Field, change the Field to Web Version URL, then click Ok.
If you're building your template outside of iContact and writing your own HTML, copy and paste the following into the top of your code inside the main container table:
|Note: Web Version URLs are dynamically-generated links and only work when you broadcast an iContact Send from Salesforce. If you want to see it in action, copy the template's HTML into Salesforce and send an iContact Send to a test Campaign.
If you'd like to know more about the HTML and CSS supported by the world's most common inboxes, then check out The Email Standards Project. It's a great resource we use in house for working with common inbox compatibility issues.

The Truth About Music: Play It Loud
"What's hot, what's not, and whats next in pop music"
Opinion: Lil Wayne Is The Most Overhyped Rap Artist Of All Time
Lil Wayne is the king of everything pop culture related these days. After his seminal album "Tha Carter II" the world has had a raging boner for all things Lil Wayne, and no amount of cultural, bedsheet tearing sex appears to mitigate that hard on, anytime soon. From relatively successful rapper, he went to megastar fame with his biggest hit "Lollipop" staying a number one for a mind-baffling amount of time.
The guy pretty much bleeds music; writing and recording a ridiculous number of songs over the past 15 years, and guesting on just about anyone except The Wiggles records.
He's been a multimillionaire since he could drive a car. He has like 10 kids, diamond studded teeth, and is worth more cash than Peyton Manning. He's been on everything from hardcore hip hop records, to lame pop songs where he obviously felt like buying a new house with the money a record company forked over just to have the goblin spit a few Caucasian pleasing rhymes for the radio hungry masses. This dude is inches away from being on a Mountain Dew can. People LOVE Lil Wayne, like seriously dorky people even love him. From scary looking dudes that look like they're the one's who killed Tupac, to bracefaced teenagers in Middle America suburbs who would shit their pants if they saw a black person in their white bread ultra secure gated communities, all of these people want to drink Lil Wayne's sweat.
He's that popular. Black, or white, he speaks a gibberish language to a slew of people that rest on every nuance and suggestion he might make. And as the smoke pours out of his mouth, or he flips out over the next exciting sporting tragedy (he's an impassioned sports fanatic), people will be be on hold, waiting for him to grant them access to The Next Big Thing. I mean come on, Lil Wayne gave the world Gucci Mane, and millions people think that dribble lipped convict is actually talented. If someone is capable of that much power, he's pretty much infallible.
The great debate about Lil Wayne is that newer scholars of the game of Hip Hop consider him the best, while the elder, and clearly correct opinion is shared that that dubious title belongs to one, Sean Carter, AKA Jay Z. We're not here to continue that discussion, because, it's clear that "Weezy" can rap has ass off. That's not an argument coming from anyone, that's a fact. The dude is a monster, a little weird looking one, but nonetheless, a extraordinarily talented midget. Weezy is not perfect. I have proof. One his new mix tape "Sorry 4 the wait" Lil Wayne attempts to drop a batch of forgettable tracks upon the heads of those minions of people so eager to run out and download, click and buy whatever it is that he's promoting, well except his rock record….no one bought that.
"Sorry 4 the wait" seems hamfisted, slap dash, a collection of songs with horrendously bland beats, and no fire. The feisty effort "No Ceilings" produced a few hits that actually made it onto the radio, and showed a side of Lil Wayne thought to have rotted away while locked up in jail. "Steady Mobbin" was an anthem. It was dangerous, tight and showed some serious chops while creating a shinobi sharp aptitude for making "fuck these bitches" seem like a plausible anthem while talking about a house so big he had 10 bathrooms to "shit all day".
"Sorry 4 the wait" has none of these things. It sounds like a weak imitator that so much litter the Hip Hop community, and had anyone else made an attempt at trying to sell this record, it would be sitting in the trunk of the owners car patiently sitting next to the spare tire, and can of fix a flat.
"Throwed off" features some hack named Gudda Gudda, and is pretty much the definition of a waste of space, and album filler. The beat is cheesy, and the aforementioned hack, is a terrible rapper. Whomever the favor was owed to let this cat rap on the mix tape, I hope that was some epic shit. Like, Hangover, life saving, tiger in the bathroom type stuff, cause man, this guy sounds like he's got a few lessons to get through before his middle school will allow him go on tour.
"Gucci Gucci" isn't even Lil Wayne's beat it belongs to that strange white chick, Kreayshawn (WTF kind of name is that?!) that raps about purses and shit. She also thinks she's cool because she refers to black people as "niggaz". Honey, that's cultural no no 101. You'll end up slapped you keep saying shit like that. Back to Lil Wayne, the original version is better. Sorry, but true. She talks about totally banal, moronic stuff, but that little chick can rap her ass off, and sounds better doing it, too. The hook about Lady Gaga just SUCKS.
(Side note: What the fuck is up with the lighters flicking before everything?)
Marvin's Room is pretty much the stupidest thing I've ever heard. And being a critic, I have heard some stupid songs. Who drives around listening to this? Really? Lil Wayne sounds like he's smiling the whole time he's rapping, just knowing some hick in the middle Arkahoma or wherever will be gobbling this up, knowing how stupid the track is. Again, we're back to the Pepsi can thing.
I understand the advantage of the mix tape is to showcase his ability to freestyle over a few currently popular tracks, and let the results lie where they may. In the case, of "Grove Street Party" the verdict is clearly in favor of it's originator Waka Flocka Flame. His delivery to the track is solid, and a certified club anthem, Lil Wayne's take on it just seems forced, and is ultimately uninteresting. Luckily for him, he was smart enough to tackle the year's most retarded one hit wonder "Racks". The song features a crew of dudes who rap while being autotuned, so in any case, NO ONE has any idea what the hell they're saying. They sound like if Pitbull had down syndrome, and mated with Will.I.Am. to get the desired effect of the vocal melody of that song, so, Weezy wins that round.
Finally, we end on "Sorry 4 the wait" he seriously tried to rap over the magnificent Adele's "Rolling in the Deep". Words cannot describe the audio turd that has made a colossal splash that could rival Hurricane Katrina. It's that awful. What's worse is someone, somewhere loves this. Really. Lil Wayne needs to step his game up, a display this soft only proves the original point of you can't compare the ear screwing audacity that is "Sorry 4 the wait" to anything in Jay Z's catalog, not even "Kingdom Come" and that record needs to be burned so it doesn't infect you with terrible.
Wayne, you're gonna lose them potential McDonald's ads, or whatever it is that you're cooking up next. People are listening, and the Internet is a powerful thing, my friend. I like my Big Mac's without the suck.

Make a Magnetic Poetry Set
What You Need
- Computer with Internet access, word processing program, and printer
- National Geographic Kids: Funny Fill-in-the-Blank Stories
- Wacky Web Tales: Parts of Speech Help
- How to Make a Magnetic Poetry Set
- Favorite books, magazines, and websites
- Scissors
- Dictionary, colored paper, laminating machine, and magnetic tape (optional)
Here's What To Do
If you want the child you are working with to make a magnetic poetry set that can stick to the refrigerator, you will need to get some magnetic tape, which is available at office and teaching supply stores.
|Visit National Geographic Kids: Funny Fill-in-the-Blank Stories with the child you are working with and choose some stories to complete. For help with the different parts of speech, visit Wacky Web Tales: Parts of Speech Help, which explains and gives examples for nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and exclamations.
|Go over How to Make a Magnetic Poetry Set and make a list of words following its instructions. As the sheet points out, you can use some favorite books, magazines, or websites to find words. If the child is having trouble figuring out what parts of speech the words are, you can use the Wacky Web Tales: Parts of Speech Help or suggest looking up the words in a dictionary.
|Print the words out, cut them into small rectangles, and if you choose, put them on the magnetic tape. If you want to complete the activity over a couple of sessions, you may print the different types of words on different colors of paper (for example, green paper for nouns, red paper for verbs, etc.) and have them laminated before sticking them to the magnetic tape.
Once you have the magnetic poetry set made, encourage the child to play with the words. Some things you might try include
More Ideas To Try
- Visit the Kids Area of the Magnetic Poetry site and let the child create an online magnetic poem. A link from this page shows examples created by other users.
- Encourage the child to add more words to the magnetic poetry set, including pronouns (for example, he, she, or us) and conjunctions (for example, cant or wont).
Parts of speech
The categories used in grammar to group different types of words, such as nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives.

School Achievement of Pupils from the Lower Strata in Public, Private Government-Dependent and Private Government-Independent Schools: A Cross-National Test of the Coleman-Hoffer Thesis
Corten, Rense; Dronkers, Jaap
Education Working Paper Archive
We consider the question whether pupils from the lower social strata perform better in private government-dependent schools than in public or private-independent schools, using the PISA 2000 data on European high schools. In the eighty's, Coleman and Hoffer (1987) found in the USA that the performance of these pupils was better at religious schools than at comparable public schools. Dronkers and Robert (2003) found in PISA-data for 19 comparable countries that private government-dependent schools are more effective then comparable public schools, also after controlled for characteristics of pupils and parents and the social composition of the school. The main explanation appeared to be a better school climate in private government-dependent schools. Private independent schools were less effective than comparable public schools, but only after controlling for the social composition of the school. As a follow-up we now investigate, again with the PISA-data of these 19 countries, whether this positive effect of private government-dependent schools differs between pupils from different strata. We use various indicators to measure social strata: social, cultural and economic. We expect that the thesis of Coleman & Hoffer does hold for private government-dependent schools, because in these 19 countries they are mostly religious schools, which have more opportunities to form functional communities and create social capital. But for private independent schools, which due to their commercial foundation are less often functional communities, this relation is not expected to hold. However, the results show that public and private schools have mostly the same effects for the same kind of pupils and thus mostly not favor one kind of pupils above another kind of pupils. But private government-dependent schools are slightly more effective for pupils with less cultural capital. However, private independent schools are also more effective for pupils from large families or low status families. (Contains 4 tables, 12 notes and a list of 25 Literature Resources .)

Quick and easy meal that can be prepped the night before and kept in the fridge overnight and plugged in first thing in the morning. I made this on Halloween, and we actually went out trick-or-treating before eating, so it ended up being in the crockpot for about 12 hours. Was still totally awesome.
Pot Roast (Crockpot)
2 lb. beef roast
1 medium onion sliced
2 medium carrots chunked
8 oz. mushrooms sliced
1 sweet red pepper diced
15 oz. diced canned tomato
1 tsp thyme leaves
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper
Add all veggies to bottom of crockpot. Lay beef ontop (no stovetop browning neccessary). Sprinkle salt on meat. Pour canned tomatoes over beef. Sprinkle the rest of the seasonings over the tomatoes.
Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8.

One of the jobs that I never wanted to do was to be a wedding photographer or videographer.
Too much pressure.
If you miss a moment, then it's gone forever.
I've even heard stories about weddings being recreated because the photos didn't come out.
So when I go to a wedding, I take photos for fun and share them.
At my cousins Ally and Joe's wedding, I was shooting video of the wedding ceremony with my Samsung Galaxy Camera. I was capturing some beautiful moments and then this happened:
Image: Ally and Joe, Married!
The perfect end to a fun ceremony.
This image is really one frame from the video I was shooting at the moment.
Some photographers use video to capture moments that they might have missed with a still camera.
When I was reviewing the video on my computer, I decided to share this as an image.
I was reviewing the video using Quicktime, so here's how I did it.
HOW TO SAVE A VIDEO FRAME AS AN IMAGE [Mac Version]
1. PAUSE video on frame I want to capture.
2. Take a screen shot by pressing [Command] [Shift] [3]
Image: Screen Shot
Note: The reason I take a screen shot is that when you try to capture the Quicktime window alone the 'player controls' are saved too and overlayed on top of the saved image.
3. Open the saved screen shot and CROP and SAVE with SKITCH, or another capture program.
4. UPLOAD to Flickr.
There are many other ways to do this.
One way would be to do it all on the Samsung Galaxy Camera.
1. PAUSE the video in the VIDEO PLAYER
Image: Paused image
2. Make the screen image Full SIZE.
3. CAPTURE the image from the screen.
Galaxy Camera: How do I take Screenshots on my Samsung Galaxy Camera?
Note: When swiping the screen to capture the image, a video control pops up, and that will have to be edited out.
Image: Samsung Galaxy Screen Shot
4. SHARE TO Flickr.
Photos taken with Samsung Galaxy Camera. Thanks @SamsungMobileUS for the review unit.
Samsung Galaxy Camera EK-GC100 8GB White, Android OS, v4.1 (Jelly Bean) 3G Unlocked HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 by Samsung from New Generation Products
Bonus for reading this far: Don't use a drone to take wedding photos.

Few people interested in photography don't know who Alex Webb is, so I'll keep this introduction brief.
He began working as a professional photojournalist in 1974, and joined Magnum Photos as an associate member in 1976, and a full member in 1979. He photographed extensively in the United States, the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and in Turkey. His photographs have appeared in such publications as The New York Times Magazine, Life, Geo, Stern, and National Geographic, and has published many books.
Rebecca Norris-Webb is an international photographer and poet.
Violet Isle is featured by Magnum In Motion, and showcases Alex's exploration of the streets of Cuba and Rebecca's discovery of unique and sometimes mysterious animals. While the photography styles of this husband-wife team is distinctly different, they decided decided to weave their images together to create a multi-layered portrait Cuba.
While you watch the audio slideshow, you'll see this combination of the two styles...the typical street scenes, color saturated with lots of shadows, reflections, sun-drenched walls...and more ethereally, many caged birds, a metaphor for Cubans. The soulful soundtrack is Silencio by the Buena Vista Social Club.
Would I have preferred to hear a soundtrack of ambient audio and music recorded in the streets of Havana instead? Yes, of course...no question about it. That being said, anything by the Buena Vista Social Club is great.

Everybody needs a little space. Space to do what ever it is that you do. Space away from the other things that you have to do. Space is not always that easy to come by however. I have mentioned the phrase "squatter potter" when describing myself on this ol' blog in the past...and it still fits pretty well. I am currently uprooted and spread all over this county it seems right now. I left Little Mahoning Creek Pottery in the winter to work at Stoke Hole Pottery which I left in March and have since been working out of a couple rubber maid tubs. I do need to get back out to LMCP and start firing the wood kilns with Nancy Smeltzer. Its been slow going due to our weather, (IUP)work, and gas prices. And also I have been holding out because I am possibly teaching beginning ceramics here at IUP...if my class makes that is. I need a few more students and it will fly for both sessions...keeping my fingers crossed. I was really hoping to use and abuse the school studio for the summer while I teach. So now I have some of my stuff in the back of my car, some stuff still over at Stoke Hole(sorry!), my wheel and other stuff at Nancy's and tubs of unfinished mugs and cups and other random pieces now on my front porch. They were all on my dining room table up until Easter, then I had to make room for our small feast. Honestly, its not a great feeling but I understand its temporary until all the cards fall where they may. If my class does not make I am hoping that Nancy will welcome me back and we can start cranking out some wood fired work. I would like to wood fire some new mugs and cups with Nance either way...
As for my new space...the one since Easter...its pretty comfy. Its not a space to throw work or really do any wet work but its a good space to finish stuff. Now that the temps have crossed over to steady 60's and once in a while a random 70's my 3 season front porch is back in season! Here's a couple pics of my "late spring decal and gold luster studio"...like I said, comfy. Its littered with a collection of pieces from friends and older, experimental things and wood fired keepers from me. The Buddha bunny slab piece on the top of this post was when I was starting to get into a more graphic ceramic practice...hippity hoppity karma is on its way. My goal is to finish these pieces and give them their final 018 firing within the next two weeks.
Finally, speaking of "space" I ran across a great little article titled "Forty-one Glorious Square Feet" by Jennifer Barbe in the back of a Ceramics Monthly. It appears in the November 2010 issue and documents the trials and tribulations of claiming a space to make work. She moved from one place to another and traded large studio space for virtually no studio space but learns to make it work for herself...flooding floor, encroaching domestic appliances and all. That's what it is about for me, I have to work and I will work where ever I have to. Believe me I have made work in odd places and trucked it around to farther away places to fire the pieces. I have faith that one day soon I will be able to have my stuff in one place and be able to almost roll out of bed and hit the studio for a while...but until then, I know how bad I want to make work...so I make it work.
How bad do you want to make work?

Tertiary orientation
Year 11 students take part in a three-day Careers Conference that includes visits to The University of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT and Swinburne University. The focus of the conference is to investigate the wide variety of tertiary options available to students.
A recruitment specialist guides students through the interview process that is a requirement for acceptance into various courses eg Medicine, Advertising and Fashion Design. Students have the option of attending a folio preparation workshop or a careers exploration workshop.
The Careers Conference enables students to:
- clarify the selection process eg whether selection is based purely on ATAR score or whether an interview is also part of the process
- learn more about university life, including the clubs and societies and support services available to students
- learn more about the strengths and specialties of the different universities and the degrees offered at each campus
- learn how to enhance the university experience (e.g. combining two degrees, gain industry experience through a work placement, study abroad or excel in an advanced program)
- understand the cost of getting a university degree or TAFE diploma
- find out about the range of tertiary providers and the courses available
- develop effective interview skills.

While preparing dinner for the four dogs this evening, I found myself pondering how the expression "dog's dinner" is often used to describe something that is a disordered mess, and how the expression did not apply in any way to the dog dinners that I was busily assembling. Indeed, dog meals have gotten so complicated at this point that I likely need to write a job aid on how to assemble each one.
Not only does each of the four meals consist of different ingredients and supplements, but there are also subtle differences between what comprises each dog's breakfast and dinner. In addition, Coco (my current foster) eats best when isolated in my bedroom, so my bedroom has now become his own private dining space. He barks for me when he is ready for me to check on his progress.
In contrast, my breakfast is typically a bowl of cold cereal accompanied by coffee, while dinner is likely something randomly inserted into a French roll and washed down with a can of soda.
Perhaps I should next ponder the expression "gone to the dogs"…


text: I enjoyed work shopping with Nathaniel because he focused a lot on characters. Knowing and building character is especially important to any piece of work that a writer will produce. He had innovative ideas and offered feedback useful in developing a story. If you don't know your characters then you can it really continue to build the story. I especially enjoyed the deconstruction of Rex from Toy Story. It was nice to expand upon ideas and create new ideas from the exercises the have. His workshops were encouraging and for overall into the idea of the Armagh project. This experience has encourage me to exercise the muscle that I have let fall to the wayside. Thanks Nathaniel and Armagh project!

Solid wood. Cabinets can be made from a number of different woods, and some woods can be stained to look like a more expensive material. A solid wood cabinet will be both durable and highly versatile; they can be painted or styled to fit any taste.
Veneer. Wood veneers are thin sheets of wood glued onto a plywood or particleboard base. They are less expensive than solid wood but can give the look of hardwood to the outside of the cabinet.
Framed. A framed cabinet will have wood around the face, framing the door and drawer, so if the door and drawer were removed, two holes would be left. The frame provides more strength, eliminating the need for a top panel.
Frameless. When the door and drawer are removed from the frameless cabinet, the homeowner is left with an open box. Because there is no frame, the doors are mounted on the cabinet's side walls. This style is popular in Europe.
Panel doors are made with a frame around the edges and built of four interlocking slats of wood and a larger section of wood serving as the middle. They can be styled with numerous details. Slab doors are plain and unframed, without raise or recess. Though essentially a one-piece design, slab doors may be constructed of pieces of stock lumber joined together. Both door styles can be used on any cabinet box to help you achieve a desired look.

Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), the insect vectors of Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) have been recorded from 30 of the 32 departments of Colombia, from the coast to 2000 m.a.s.l. (Molina et al. 2000). Over 20 species have been reported, of which Rhodnius prolixus (Stål) is the most frequently encountered in domestic habitats, representing 95.4% of domestic Triatominae collected, with house infestation rates above 20% in many municipalities (Corredor et al. 1990, Angulo et al. 1997). R. prolixus is also widespread in Venezuela where, in spite of extensive control campaigns since 1966, it continues to be the most important domestic vector of Chagas disease (Aché & Matos 2001, Feliciangeli et al. 2003).
Historical reconstruction, combined with biogeographical studies and available genetic comparisons, suggests thatR. prolixus may have been first domesticated in the savanna-like areas (llanos) of Venezuela, and subsequently spread by accidental human intervention (Dujardin et al. 1998, Schofield & Dujardin 1999, Zeledón 2004). In general however, populations of R. prolixus tend to show low levels of genetic or allozyme variability (Dujardin et al. 1998, Monteiro et al. 2000, 2003, Jaramillo et al. 2001), and the aim of the present study was to examine phenetic variability between Colombian and Venezuelan populations using antennal sensilla patterns, which have been shown to be informative characters in studies of population structuring in other species of Triatominae (Gracco & Catalá 2000, Catalá & Dujardin 2001, Carbajal et al. 2002).
Areas of study - Adults R. prolixus were collected from domestic habitats in six departments from three biogeographical regions of Colombia selected on the basis of previous reports and the national entomological survey (Angulo et al. 1997, Molina et al. 2000, Ministerio de Salud 2000). These represented the Andean zone (departments of Santander and Tolima), the Sierra Nevada (departments of Magdalena and Guajira), and the llanos (department of Arauca). R. prolixus was also collected from houses in the Venezuelan state of Barinas, which neighbours the department of Arauca (Fig. 1) and from where acute cases of Chagas disease have recently been reported (Añéz et al. 1999).
Santander and Tolima in the Andean zone west of the Cordillera are mountainous woodland regions with altitudes from 1000 to 5500 m.a.s.l. The average annual temperature in Santander is 18ºC, compared to 28ºC in Tolima. Magdalena and Guajira in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, mountain at the Caribbean coast in the North of Colombia, isolated from the rest of the Andean range, with a wide diversity of habitats. The lower slopes are used for agriculture, cattle-ranching and tourism and the upper slopes are inhabited by the indiginous Arhuaco and Kogi cultures. The llanos of Arauca and Barinas are part of an extensive savanna-like plain extending east of the Andes in Colombia and Venezuela. The climate is humid-tropical, with average temperatures of 22-28ºC and extensive woodlands with numerous stands of palm trees.
The majority of rural houses in the studied areas are of adobe or `bahareque' (woven stick and mud) with roofs of palm thatch or corrugated metal or fibre-cement sheets. R. prolixus was collected from infested houses during 2003-2005, by timed manual collection (using forceps and a torch to see into crevices in the house structure) (Table I). The collected insects were maintained live or placed into 70% ethanol for transportation to our laboratory. From each collection, adults were selected at random until at least 10 with complete antennae could be included from each of the departments. Magdalena and Guajira were taking as the same department and included in the same biogeographical regions (Fig. 1).
Analysis of antennal sensilla - Antennae were cut from the head using fine forceps, and stored in 70% ethanol prior to diaphanisation in 4% NaOH. After clearing, they were individually slide-mounted in glycerine and examined at 40´. Sensilla were classified according to Catalá and Schofield (1994), and counted along the entire length of the pedicel (P) and the two flagellar segments (F1 and F2). Only one antenna was examined from each specimen. Four sensilla types were used for analysis: BR, mechanoreceptive bristles, BA, basiconics, TH, thin walled trichoids, TK, thick-walled trichoids; these sensilla have showns to be significant in differentiating Triatominae populations (Catala & Dujardin 2001, Catalá et al. 2004, 2005).
A total of 53 insects (27 males and 26 females) was included in the analysis. For each population, mean sensilla density (±SD) was calculated for each segment (Table II). Logs of these variables were compared by ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis, with significance of differences estimated by Newman-Keuls with Bonferroni correction for continuity (Sokal & Rohlf 1997) using STATISTICA v6. Discriminant analysis were made between the five populations, and also between populations from the three biogeographical regions, using PADWIN v65 (http://www.mpl.ird.fr/morphometrics). Latitudinal variation, which has been observed in populations ofTriatoma dimidiata (Catalá et al. 2005), was also examined by linear correlation with TH and TK densities on the flagellar segments.
ANOVA between sexes showed no significant differences between sexes for any sensilla pattern in any of the departments studied (data not shown) so that subsequent analysis were made on groups of 10 (5 males and 5 females) or 11 insects (5 males and 6 females) for each department (Table II).
Univariate analysis showed significant differences in densities of pedicel mechanoreceptors (PBR) and flagellar chemoreceptors (F1BA, F1TK, F2TK, F1TH, F2TH), especially those of the first flagellar segment (F1) (Table III). Insects from the Andean region differed from those of the Sierra Nevada only in numbers of F2TH. However, insects from the llanos differed significantly from those of the Andes and those from la Sierra Nevada by densities of five receptor types (Table III).
Multivariate discriminant analysis using all variables except F2BA and F1BR (due to heteroscedascity) correctly reclassified 86% of all individuals to their respective department. The population from Magdalena-Guajira was 100% correctly reclassified, followed by those of Barinas (90%), Arauca (88%), Santander (80%), and Tolima (72%). Of the four discriminant functions obtained, the first two contributed 94% of the observed variation (63% for the first, and 31% for the second), and the two variables with highest contribution to variability were PBR and F1TH. Plotting individuals within the discriminant space defined by the first two discriminant functions revealed clear groupings according to biogeographical region (Fig. 2). Similar levels of significance were shown for the Mahalanobis distances between these biogeographical groupings, but with insignificant differences between those of Tolima-Santander or Arauca-Barinas; the Magdalena-Guajira population showed no significant grouping with either of these two.
Regression analysis of sensilla density on latitude showed significant increase in TH of the second flagellar segment in accordance with increasing north latitude (Fig. 3A) with a similar decrease in TK (Fig. 3B). However, no such correlation was found for other sensilla types or for TH and TK on the first flagellar segment (data not shown).
The lack of overt sexual dimorphism in Rhodnius, and the relatively simple sensilla patterns, for example shown by the absence of chemoreceptors on the pedicel has been suggested to relate to the abundance of these insects in stable habitats such as domestic environments and palm tree crowns (Schofield 1988, Catalá 1997, Carbajal de la Fuente 2002). As shown by Dujardin et al. (1999), Triatominae tend to show reduced sexual dimorphism in domestic populations, compared to those occupying silvatic habitats. In the case of R. prolixus, the high densities attained in domestic habitats (Rabinovich et al. 1995, Sandoval et al. 2000) presumably facilitate encounters between sexes, reducing any necessity for sexual dimorphism or for specific means of sexual identity.
Populations of Triatominae occupying similar biogeographical regions will presumably evolve similarly, so that their antennal sensilla patterns can be expected to show similar features (Catalá & Dujardin 2001, Carbajal & Catalá 2002, Jaramillo et al. 2002). In the present study, the high degree of correct reclassification of R. prolixuspopulations in accordance with their biogeographical origin supports the idea that sensilla patterns can act as specific indicators for particular populations. However, since all populations examined were taken from similar domestic habitats, the sensilla patterns appear to be reflecting biogeographic features or population isolation rather than characters associated with different habitats.
The analysis of sensilla patterns indicates clear differentiation between R. prolixus populations to the east (Arauca and Barinas) and west (Santander and Tolima) of the Andean Cordillera, as has also been indicated by comparative head morphometrics (Esteban et al. 2000). Populations from Magdalena-Guajira do not group directly with either the west or eastern forms, but appear to be more similar to the western forms in the sense that they are differentiated from the western forms only by the distribution of TH on the second flagellar segment (F2TH). These groupings lend support to the idea that the original forms of domestic R. prolixus developed to the east of the Andes, in the region of the llanos of Venezuela and Colombia, being subsequently spread westwards presumably by accidental human intervention along a route following the pass between the Sierra Nevada and the northern tip of the Andean Cordillera (Schofield & Dujardin 1999). The direction of this presumed dispersal is further supported by the fact that for all sensilla types on all segments (except for the F2TH of the Magdalena-Guajira populations); density is reduced from east to west.
The latitudinal variation in the number of F2TK and F2TH, reported for the first time by R. prolixus, was also observed in first flagellar segment in populations of T. dimidiata, and explained by the authors in relation to the greater housing capacity to Ecuador (Catalá et al. 2005)
If this interpretation is correct, that domestic R. prolixus has been dispersed westwards into Colombia presumably by accidental human intervention and that the Andean Cordillera remains as a biogeographical barrier between the eastern populations of the llanos and the western populations of the Magdalena valley, then this could suggest that control interventions would be more successful against the western populations, since these are no longer within the original biogeographical region of the species. There is evidence that R. prolixus populations in Central America were also carried there from a Venezuelan source (Dujardin et al. 1998, Zeledón 2004). By contrast, in the llanos of Venezuela and eastern Colombia which are characterized by extensive palm tree stands where silvatic forms of R. prolixus have been reported (Gamboa 1963) the biology of domestic R. prolixus may require additional studies to reorientate binational control interventions.

Information Notice No. 93-60, Supplement 1: Reporting Fuel Cycle and Materials Events to the NRC Operations Center
UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 October 20, 1994 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 93-60, SUPPLEMENT 1: REPORTING FUEL CYCLE AND MATERIALS EVENTS TO THE NRC OPERATIONS center Addressees All 10 CFR Part 70 fuel cycle licensees. Purpose The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is issuing this information notice to alert addressees to a recent revision of the form used by Headquarters Operations Officers (HOOs) who document safety-related fuel cycle events reported to the NRC Operations Center. It is expected that recipients will review the information for applicability to their facilities and consider actions, as appropriate, to ensure proper reporting. However, suggestions contained in this information notice are not NRC requirements; therefore, no specific action nor written response is required. Background On August 4, 1993, Information Notice 93-60, "Reporting Fuel Cycle and Materials Events to the NRC Operations Center," was issued. The information notice was issued to alert addressees to recent problems associated with reporting of safety-related events to the NRC Operations Center. Attached to the information notice was an example of the form used by HOOs to document safety-related event reports. This form was recently revised to better assist the HOOs in documenting reports regarding degraded criticality safety controls (ref. NRC Bulletin 91-01) at fuel cycle facilities and determining whether the immediate attention of the NRC technical staff is required. Discussion Subsequent to the issuance of Information Notice 93-60, the attached "Fuel Cycle and Materials Event Notification Worksheet" revision was developed to specifically indicate that licensees are expected to: (1) identify whether the report concerned a deficient criticality safety analysis or an event; (2) provide information describing the credible criticality accident pathways involved; (3) provide information describing the controlled-parameter(s) (mass, moderation, geometry, etc.) and control(s) (or controlled systems) established for the criticality accident pathways; (4) provide a description of the licensed material involved; and (5) describe the status of corrective actions taken to restore safety systems. 9410140257. IN 93-60, Supp. 1 October 20, 1994 Page 2 of 2 Fuel cycle licensees reporting events should be prepared to provide the following information for the affected controlled parameter(s) of each criticality accident pathway: 1. Describe the potential criticality pathway(s) involved. 2. Identify the controlled parameter(s). 3. Describe the nuclear criticality safety controls or control systems and the failure(s) or deficiencies that occurred. 4. Estimate the amount, enrichment, and form of licensed material involved, including process limits and what percent of the worst-case critical mass was reached. 5. Describe the status of corrective actions taken to restore safety systems, and when each was implemented. To save time and ensure accuracy in reporting an event, licensees may send an electronic facsimile of the completed form to the NRC Operations Center, whose fax number is (301) 816-5151. This information notice requires no specific action nor written response. If you have any questions about this notice, please call the technical contact listed below or the appropriate regional office. /s/'d by Elizabeth Q. Ten Eyck/for Robert F.
