Trouble shooting
With one snag reported by the pilot, the instructor will show how to identify the default component, by comparing the procedure described in the Trouble Shooting Manual and the experience of the aircraft. The list of the trouble shooting elements is function of the experience of the engineers in the class. The trouble shooting is performed for the following ATA chapters: 21, 22, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 36, 42, 45, 61, 73, 74, 75, 80.
In Aero Ground Training S.A.S, we wanted to focus to the assistance of the trouble shooting as we have experienced that most of the customers are weak and mainly use the TSM that is helpful but for basic trouble shooting. With our experienced instructors, the recurrent will make your team better to fix faster and surely the technical snags.

If you haven't already fallen for Elizabeth, what are you waiting for?
She has your best interest at heart and Join us: Help Elizabeth Warren win her Senate race!
Elizabeth Warren spoke out today about the unfair advantage she says big companies have over small businesses in America, a playing field she declared was uneven even before the current recession.
"The problems facing small businesses today go well beyond the bad economy," said Warren in a speech at the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce in Massachusetts.
Without the resources to hire lobbyists and lawyers to cozy up to Congress, small businesses don't get a fair shake in Washington, she said. "Regulations in the United States are rigged to work for the big guys," Warren said.
Washington isn't helping. Instead of working on how to create a better environment for small business, Washington spent its energy on saving Wall Street banks that were to big to fail. There's an old saying: 'we all do better when we all do better,' and nothing could be more true for small business. The decline in consumer spending, poor sales, and economic uncertainty have made it difficult for small businesses to thrive.

This is What Revision looks Like –
I glanced across my classroom today and this is what I saw. About five weeks ago, we started the Modes Project (a great idea from my APSI instructor Valerie Stevenson). This part, the writer's workshop, in which students meet in 'expert' groups to critique each other's papers was the part I dreaded most. Frankly, in my previous years teaching ninth graders, I'd felt like most group revision was not very helpful, that might students didn't know enough to truly help each other revise. At best, they were proofreading and editing. This year in this project, with my AP Lang students, I was pleasantly surprised.
I'd had my students read an essay in each of seven modes all centered around the same general topic of language. I then had them read two essays on any subject of their choice in each of those seven modes. For each of those they had to write a rhetorical précis, which is a highly structured four-sentence paragraph blending summary and analysis. Finally, the students had to choose a topic of their own and write an essay on the topic in each of the seven modes.
Our days have been filled with reading, writing précis, getting feedback, and writing essays. Today we are to the revision stage. As I watch my students work in these groups and eavesdrop on their conversations, I hear things like, "If you think metaphorically, you can take this paper from here (the speaker's hand is waist high) to up here" ( her hand is now over her head). Another group member agrees, "If you stomp through the woods long enough, you'll get a dead deer! Your paper is really about perseverance." This narrative essay from a deer hunter was being revised to more than he thought he had written.
I'd written the acronym RIP on the board just before my students began their group revision. "It stands for Rest in Peace," I said, as this was the first time in weeks they didn't have assigned homework or a deadline for my class hanging over their heads. We would be back in the groups the next few days in class. "It also reminds you to RIP those papers up," I said, reminding them of the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
We have created a safe community in these classes this semester. The students know and trust each other. They are highly motivated and want to succeed as well as see their peers do so. I suggested they think of themselves as doctors: diagnose the problem with these paper and cut out the diseased parts before they come to me for summative assessment. "You can even think of me as the coroner. You don't want your paper to be pronounced Dead on Arrival, so don't be shy, do for your peers what you want them to do for you—-tell them the truth and help them write their best essay in the mode you are an expert in.
As I watched and listened and heard them caring enough and trusting enough to tell the truth and receive the truth, I realized these revision groups are working a lot like what a friend of mine calls "a pit crew". Not exactly the NASCAR kind, though she does borrow the image from them. We all need a few people in our lives who are brave enough to tell us the truth, to help us be our best selves, to not let us get away with bad behaviors. We need people who push us farther than we want to go – for our own good, and who call out the bad and tell us to get rid of it. Like a pit crew in a NASCAR race, they make us perform more efficiently and become more capable of finishing the race we are called to run.
This is what is fun about teaching. My students become my teachers. Just watching and eavesdropping in class today reminded me to give thanks for those "pit crew" people in my life who love me enough to clean my windshield, change my tires, and keep me fueled for the race.

There's religious truth - and then there's politically opportune religious 'truth'
by- 11th April 2012
It is typical of the Archbishop of Canterbury to use a moment when the media floodlight is full on him to say something awkward.
Typically brave, controversial, and timely, that is.
Contrary to the myth surrounding his incumbency, he has managed to go on communicating presciently and meaningfully into the public square, whatever the obstacles he faces (and an amateurish media department has not been the least of them).
Far from being an incoherent geek always putting his foot in it, Rowan Williams understands the times and what will resonate.
And the fact that the BBC this week did not downplay his Easter sermon on the Resurrection is a sign that his intuition is right.
'The tide may be turning in how serious and liberal-minded commentators think about faith' he said.
In the full glare of his post-resignation publicity, he grasped this new moment of openness to go further and speak of Christianity's principal truth, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
And he did so in a way so winsome and culturally appropriate that only the most bone-headed atheist could fail to be struck by it.
'[N]o longer seen as a brainless and oppressive enemy, [religious faith] is recognized as a potential ally in challenging a model of human activity and social existence that increasingly feels insane, a model in which unlimited material growth and individual acquisition still seem to trump every other argument about social coherence, international justice and realism in the face of limited resources.'
Then, more significantly, he went on: 'Easter raises an extra question, uncomfortable and unavoidable: perhaps 'religion' is more useful than the passing generation of gurus thought; but is it true?
'Easter makes a claim not just about a potentially illuminating set of human activities but about an event in history and its relation to the action of God.
'Very simply . . . we are told that "God raised Jesus to life".'
This charity, set up to promote religious literacy in public life, believes that all the signs are that the thinking public are better able to hear the Christian message; to nuance the differences between faiths, and start to appreciate anew what each faith says of itself.
As our News Focus this week demonstrates, the watching world is beginning to be able to judge for itself what human beings do with the divine words they purport to espouse.
When Muslims as credible as al-Azhar's Abdel Muti al-Bayyoumi accuses the chief spokesman of the Muslim Brotherhood Mahmoud Ghozlan himself of using religion for political gain in a breathtaking reversal of a promise, Pontius Pilate's great question 'What is truth?' challenges the world family once more.
The very word 'truth' has had no cultural salience for a generation. Truth itself has been 'what's true for you' as the great theologian Lesslie Newbigin used to say. But that won't do any more.
'How do we know that [the Resurrection] is true?' asked Dr Williams.
'Not by some final knock-down would-be scientific proof, but by the way it works in us through the long story of a whole life and the longer story of the life of the community that believes it.'
For once the BBC seemed to be listening.
Their online report said: '[H]e said the ultimate test of Christianity was not whether it was beneficial to the human race, but whether the resurrection of Jesus Christ actually happened.
'He said that for Christians a vision of reconciled love between people "is there only because God raised Jesus" and that the answer was not in scientific proof, but by the way believers lived with and in their faith.'
Christianity is a vision of reconciled love, made possible by what God did, not by what the apostles invented, or what believers wish.
In the face of greedy bankers, European economic meltdown, political and journalistic corruption and Islamist war-mongering, the world, it seems, now is just perhaps beginning to rethink its need of this truer story.
Suddenly just maybe, we can hear it: that when we are at the end of our own resources, there is another power there and active for us.

Product Details
The sequel to Grass's controversial and successful book Peeling the Onion.
Once upon a time there was a father who, because he had grown old, called together his sons and daughters - four, five, six, eight in number - and finally convinced them, after long hesitation, to do as he wished. Now they are sitting around a table and begin to talk...'
In this delightful sequel to Peeling the Onion, Günter Grass writes in the voices of his eight children as they record memories of their childhoods, of growing up, of their father, who was always at work on a new book, always at the margins of their lives. Memories contradictory, critical, loving, accusatory - they piece together an intimate picture of this most public of men. To say nothing of Marie, Grass's assistant, a family friend of many years, perhaps even a lover, whose snapshots taken with an old-fashioned Agfa box camera provide the author with ideas for his work. But her images offer much more. They reveal a truth beyond the ordinary detail of life, depict the future, tell what might have been, grant the wishes in visual form of those photographed. The children speculate on the nature of this magic: was the enchanted camera a source of inspiration for their father? Did it represent the power of art itself? Was it the eye of God?
The Box is an inspired and daring work of fiction. In its candour, wit, and earthiness, it is Grass at his very best.
I was confused by this book, was it fiction or autobiography? Having never read any of Grass' books before, I wasn't sure if this was the style he wrote in or if I just didn't understand it.
The Box is the second instalment of Grass's books in this series, with it written in an unusual style of fictionalized conversations among his eight children, while centring on Grass's photographer, Marie, whose cheap Agfa "Box" camera captured not just what was visible, but what the children were wishing and dreading. The concept was very appealing and had the basis for a great book with scenes from the past and the distant future, including surreal cameos by the family members themselves. I am actually going to give this book another read to see if I can grasp the concept or perhaps see if I can find the first book in this series to see if reading that will clarify the second book.

TEMPE, Ariz. – A decade ago, when he was a Red Sox scout, Jerry Dipoto used to test the limits of his Internet browser every time he wanted to examine a player.
He needed six windows just to see all the statistics he wanted, plus a separate screen to watch actual video of said player hitting or pitching. Then Dipoto had to synthesize all that information and make a determination.
Now, the second-year Angels general manager needs just one window open on his computer, set to Bloomberg Sports — and no separate screens. Bloomberg Sports Pro 2.0 is an all-encompassing platform for player evaluation now used by the majority of MLB teams that incorporates years of pitch-by-pitch video, every sort of advanced statistic and thousands of scouting reports.
Dipoto used a hypothetical example to explain what it could do. In 2011, he said, Angels right-hander Jered Weaver's slider was nearly unhittable. If it suddenly wasn't in 2013, why?
The system won't necessarily answer that exactly, but it'll indicate real possibilities.
"I think that's the value of tracking these numbers," Dipoto said. "It allows you to recognize trends and eyeball where players are in their development."
Speaking at the SABR Analytics Conference in Phoenix for the second conscutive year, Dipoto cautioned against wholly disregarding old-fashioned scouting. He said he would always employ a cadre of scouts to balance things out.
"The essence of scouting is to take what you see and blend it with what you know," Dipoto said. "The live eye does mean something, and we can't create a system where we take that out of play."
Of course, another issue with baseball's growing sabermetric movement is that the players often don't follow or believe in advanced statistics. Dipoto said that presenting a factoid gleaned from analytics as simply a tip instead of a statistical guarantee is important.
And the beauty of the newest-available data, Dipoto said, lies in its interest to players. Evolving hot/cold zones, on-demand video of all previous matchups with that day's pitcher – they want to see all of it.
"Players will almost 100 percent look at that information," Dipoto said.
Thunder and rain forced the Angels to call their Friday game against Diamondbacks in the bottom of the third inning, but right-hander Joe Blanton was able to get his scheduled work in before the hail started to come down.
Blanton threw three quick innings, giving up two hits and one run, before exiting and finishing his day working out of the stretch in the bullpen.
"We got something accomplished," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Believe me, we milked about every pitch we could out of today."
Rain had been on and off for most of Friday morning. Six Angels regulars were scratched from the lineup when it became clear the field would be wet.
"Every year in spring training, there's always this one game that has terrible weather," said catcher Hank Conger, the only likely major-leaguer who stayed in the lineup. "I guess that was today."
The Angels sent down their top prospect after Friday's game, dropping Kaleb Cowart and four other young players down to minor-league camp.
Cowart, a 20-year-old third baseman, had been playing regularly at the major-league level and hitting fairly well. He finished 4-for-17 with two walks, a double and two RBI – plus two more hits and three RBI in an exhibition game against Italy.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Thursday that Cowart was "having a great camp," offensively and defensively.
"The way he goes about his business defensively, he's way ahead of what you would see from a lot of young third baseman," Scioscia said. "He's got an advanced understanding of the position."
The other players sent down were outfielder Randal Grichuk and infielders Taylor Lindsey, Eric Stamets and Alex Yarbrough.
Several Angels were planning on attending Friday night's game between Arizona State and Long Beach State in Tempe, but those plans were scrapped with the weather. Outfielder Kole Calhoun, an ASU alum, had put it together. … Scioscia said he wasn't concerned about Josh Hamilton's declining walk rate because the slugger's approach has proven to produce plenty of power. "You wouldn't ask Vlad Guerrero to go out there and try to draw more walks," Scioscia said. "Some parts of a player, the same thing that makes them terrific occasionally makes them vulnerable."

Monthly Income Investments: A Logical Move to Make Ends Meet
The average investor's thinking needs to change. We need to teach ourselves to buy the stock market using wise practice, not emotion. I treat my investment activities like a company. If a trade just isn't training as I had planned, I close against each other and begin the following.
An interactive mapping application on the city's website called 'Where's My House' allows users to type in the address of an property, and discover instantly whether or not this falls from the city boundary. If it does, it naturally qualifies for City Services. Not only will possible buyers be reassured that it will have the standard services, as furnished by town of Greenville, however they can discover multiple details about the area.
Renewable energy is ceaseless and several critics believe, the volume of renewable energy investment essential for producing the power is large. Many international companies are producing chunks of investment in energy, for experiencing a clean and brighter future. For the past number of decades global warming has aroused over a massive, across the globe and for that reason the icebergs have started to melt. Solar energy is the best solution, to handle the raising energy demand. The reports declared with the International Energy Agency, the solar technology can satiate one-fourth from the global energy demand. Public utilities around the world are producing solar technology investments, for assisting the new projects on this sector and also to result in the globe as being a clean place, within 2050.
Day 2: I contemplated not heading back for round two, but curious to determine how fast my estimation could be validated, I simply couldn't resist it. I walked inside class a couple of minutes late and then suffer glares from the professor. She quickly explained how she had visited boot-camp courses taught by (insert real estate property tycoon here), and HE would have charged her $50 to be late. I slowly removed my oversized sunglasses and sipped my coffee via a clenched-tooth smile. ""The first hour was another tease are the real deal information. Just as I started thinking I may actually start to learn something here, alas, get my money's worth, she starts telling us that to be able to ever make wise real estate property investments, we have to enroll in "Advanced Training." Advanced training' Then what is had I purchased' She then proceeded to read the various courses needed so that you can become a millionaire. I was flabbergasted when she wrote along the final figure based on how much this "Advanced Training" would cost us. $48,000. Yes, I said $48,000! This was for any 6-week online course plus a mentor. Once I realized no one would come out and commence talking about timeshares, I looked for Ashton Kutcher to pop out and reveal we were all being Punked. He never arrived.
To be more specific, standard fuels include the by-products of decayed and lifeless animals and vegetation. These constituents are actually traced back and were found in deep earth around 286 to 360 million years ago.

Today's mobile cameras mean that anyone may easily be filmed and exposed to a wider audience meanwhile conducting their daily work. Police officers belong to an occupation that most frequently have to encounter this development. As state representatives, entitled to make use of violence at work, they end up being held accountable by a variety of actors capturing police initiatives on film. Police authorities around the world therefore have started to use body-worn cameras, aiming to enhance trust and transparency, but also as a means to control their work environment. On the one hand, cameras are described as a tool ensuring legal security and public trust in the police, on the other hand cameras are also associated with concern for surveillance and integrity. We intend, in this recently started study, to investigate what consequences this technology have on individual officers organising their own practices, and on the management of patrols wearing these cameras. The study is guided by the following questions: 1) What opportunities and challenges do individual officers associate with the introduction of cameras in their practice? 2) In what way is the use of cameras managed by the organisation, what tensions do they have to address between the individual officer's practice, the management and the public? 3) What opportunities and challenges do the police associate with citizens using cameras to document the police? Theoretically the analysis draws on research on accountability, technological affordances and surveillance. Empirical material is planned to be collected through interviews, focus groups and document studies.

For some history on Chamilia and DGJ before we get to the nitty-gritty. Chamilia jewelry has been reinvented. Here at Distinctive Gold Jewelry, we are celebrating over 15 years as a representative of the brand. With such a long history it is no doubt that we have seen Chamilia beads come and go, beads that retire, and new beads that come out almost every 3 months. We have seen the bracelet bead business go from 'who is Chamilia' and 'what is a Pandora' to a frenzy 'must-have' jewelry piece of the year. Over 15 years ago Distinctive Gold in Frankfort, IL was given the opportunity and decision: Does Distinctive Gold Jewelry carry Pandora or Chamilia? Well after 15 years of great beads and beautiful unique jewelry, we are more than happy with our decision to carry Chamilia. From its beautiful design to being on Oprah's 100 favorite Things. So, why did we choose Chamilia over all the other brands.
This is a question we see all the time and like most things with jewelry there is a caveat, every jewelry piece is different. Like diamonds or engagement rings, every piece is different, and every piece has its own fit. So to this question the answer is: Yes, almost every Pandora bead fits on a Chamilia bracelet and almost every Chamilia bead fits on a Pandora bracelet. We have found that around "90%" of the time the beads are interchangeable. Every so often we find that a bead fits a bit tighter on the other brands bracelet, but the best way to find out is to bring in the bracelet to test it in-store.
If you are looking for Chamilia bracelets or Chamilia beads in the Frankfort area, be sure to stop in at Distinctive Gold Jewelry in Frankfort, IL and find the bead you are looking for. Get in touch with us by phone at 815-469-2929 and we will answer any of your questions you have on Chamilia.

Outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention: an analysis of the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society National Dataset
Project Overview
- This research involves assessing outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or 'stenting', a procedure where stents are placed within the heart to open up restricted or obstructed arteries to improve blood flow.
- As PCI practice and patient case-mix has changed dramatically over the last decade there is a need to understand the effect that these many changes have had on patient outcomes, so that opportunities to adapt and optimise practice are not missed.
Start: September 2014
End: August 2017
Funded by: Medical Research Council
Disease Area
Coronary Artery Disease, both acute and stable
Data Source
- The British Cardiovascular Intervention Society collects anonymised, patient-level information on every PCI performed in the UK for the purposes of audit and clinical research. Between 2006 and 2015 around one million procedures have been captured in this datset and these are available for analysis.
- Standard statistical methods such as survival and regression analyses are useful here but there is ample scope for novel statisical methods to be developed and used. For example, a risk-score decomposition method has been developed to determine the proportion of the overall change in mortality that can be attributed to, say, increases in average patient age or patients with diabetes.
Benefits and Outcomes
Understanding the drivers of mortality changes helps clinicians to identify aspects of procedural care that can be improved. Ultimately this work will feed into national clinical guidelines that inform best-practice.
A suite of related research outputs that inform and educate clinicians and patients regarding PCI practice over the last decade, and how this knowledge can be translated into improvements in patient care.
Early Findings
Mortality outcomes have improved after adjusting for patient case-mix. The improvements are associated primarily with changes in access site practice after the steady national adoption of trans-radial arterial access in favour of trans-femoral.

what was consumed: obviously, cupcakes!
i'm not a big fan of sweets. i once told christine that her friend (who bought her chocolates) didn't know her (ergo me) well because we would both appreciate a bag of good beef jerky any day over a box of fancy chocolates (haha). point is, i like to taste, but i hardly crave and only occasionally eat regular amounts. in fact, there are times when i'll think i'll want something sweet (e.g. fruity cocktail) only to not finish because it has, within the time frame of one drink, to become too sweet. but i digress (per usual).
despite my sort of adversion to sweet things, i have found myself trying a lot of cupcake places in and around the dc/metro area. and let me tell you, there are quite a few. i've written already about hello cupcake (my personal fav, thus far), but georgetown cupcake was probably the one that put these cupcake houses on the map (or maybe it was cake love. point is, georgetown cupcake was/is super popular).
so, last birthday, i came home to c&j wishing me a happy birthday with a box of georgetown cupcakes (thanks, kids! haha). we are korean (christine and me, anyway. jess is an honorary korean - haha) and in addition to seaweed soup (the traditional korean birthday food), cake has become almost a required component to celebrating birthdays in korea (shoot, cake is almost a required component to anything in korea these days). i have purchased cupcakes for christine's past 3 birthdays, so it was nice to be the recipient this time around.
now, while hello cupcake is my favorite, i will say that georgetown cupcake isn't all too far behind. their cakes are soft and moist, and their frosting is sweet, though not too sugary. they have a nice combination of flavors that make the small cake quite a lovely and delicate end to a meal or a snack in and of themselves. much like may other cupcake places, georgetown cupcakes offers a variety of different options. their red velvet cake is delicious - the cream cheese frosting has just a tad bit of sweetness and the cream cheesiness shines through. delicious! their lemon tart cupcake (or whatever it's called) is also yummy, though i prefer my lemon tart cupcake with a bit more lemony-ness and maybe a bit more tart (odd, i know, because i'm also less of a fan of sour things). it was actually this lemon tart cupcake that makes me like hello cupcake more (well, the lemon tart and the carrot cake and peanut butter/chocolate cupcakes, come to think of it - i guess that's quite a few). that and because hello cupcake is currently in a more convenient location (but now that i have a 4-wheeled vehicle, that may change - yeehaw!).
all you cupcake lovers out there! it would be a shame, no, a tragedy, for you not to make it out to georgetown cupcake. go, take a look, taste, and enjoy!

text: The King Of Swing 934 Report post Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Anyone seen Heavy Metal (1981)? What a psychedelic dose of action and fantasy that was. A series of short stories from vastly different settings all tied together by a central artefact. Each of the stories was awash with colour, bizarre creatures and characters, fair doses of female nudity and even the odd bit of shagging. Taarna: Warrior chick from the final scenes I thought this was absolutely brilliant, being a fan of other, more mainstream 80's fantasy animation works such as the Thundercats TV series, etc. It was just completely outside the box, and was almost entrancing, in that you find yourself amazed by the colours and settings but with absolutely zero idea of what is coming next. Does anything else even remotely close to this exist? I want more, NOW. Thought it was very hit and miss to be honest certainly worth at least one watch though. Only thing I can think of close to it is the excellent South Park episode Major Boobage which was inspired by Heavy Metal. EDIT Surprised it took you this long to see it though Heavy Metal is a very well known animated cult classic I believe.

A Pakistani religious leader has said that a husband is allowed to beat his wife lightly.
"If a woman does not fulfil her responsibilities in marriage first you advise her, if that doesn't work, then you consult her relatives. If that doesn't work then you desert her in bed. If all of this doesn't work, then light beating is allowed." The definition of marital responsibilities if she refuses to dress up for her husband; turns down demands of intercourse without any religious excuse or does not take a bath after intercourse or menstrual periods.
When asked to be precise at what light beating means he said it was with a handkerchief or hat, but not on her face.
The reason the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) in Pakistan came up with this shocking idea is because the Pakistan government just passed a law to allow women legal protection from domestic, psychological and sexual violence. Large amounts of the Pakistan population are now in uproar of the idea that women need a light beating to get them back into line. Social media has been using the hashtag trybeatingtmelightly:

Astrology of Caesarean section delivery.
Cesarean section astrology
A Caesarean section (often C-section, also other spellings) is a surgical procedure in which one or more incisions are made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. The first modern Caesarean section was performed by German gynecologist Ferdinand Adolf Kehrer in 1881.
A Caesarean section is often performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk. Some are also performed upon request without a medical reason to do so, which is a practice health authorities would like to reduce.
C-sections result in a small overall increase in bad outcomes in low risk pregnancies.The bad outcomes that occur with C-section differ from those that occur with vaginal delivery. Established guidelines recommend that caesarean sections not be used before 39 weeks without a medical indication to perform the surgery.
In many countries, caesarean section procedures are used more frequently than is necessary, and consequently governments and health organizations promote programs to reduce the use of caesarean section in favor of using vaginal delivery. The countries which report overuse of this procedure are not finding ways to decrease use of the procedure as much as they would like.

Responses to the Norwegian paper Bistandsaktuelt re the report on Sri Lanka of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Overall, do you think the report gives a fair assessment of the human rights and reconciliation situation on the ground?
The report is helpful in drawing attention to several matters that could be dealt with more efficiently, but it seems unfair in that it does not also record positive achievements during this period. Unfortunately it has to be seen in context and the problem is that the Office of the High Commissioner has been relentlessly critical of Sri Lanka in the past, including soon after the conclusion of the conflict when she tried to subvert a decision of the Council. This makes it difficult to take her complaints seriously, though I believe we should try, since she can also be helpful when her mind is off the political agenda set by some of her staff.
Unfortunately our Foreign Ministry has been so inept that it may now be difficult to distinguish between these Jekyll and Hyde elements in her character. Still, I think we should try, and register that some of the points she has made are valid. We have been slow in several matters, which I regret, though to be fair we are no slower than other countries in similar positions.
We were unfortunate in that she prepared her report before the LLRC Action Plan Task Force came under new management, which has been much more efficient than what was there before. Much has been achieved in the last month, especially with regard to the Lands question. But certainly we could do more, and I am sorry that government tends to react adversely to such reports without moving pro-actively on Reconciliation, as I have recommended through several reports to the President. Unfortunately his advisers who seem to have the impression that Reconciliation and Human Rights are only about explanations to the others have not encouraged him to move on these more practical recommendations too.
According to the report, the Sri Lankan government has not done enough to investigate allegations of human rights violations that occurred at the end of the war. It is also criticized for not doing more in the areas of reconciliation and the resumption of livelihood. What is your response to this?
We have done much more with regard to livelihood than other countries in similar situations, and that is why those who visit Sri Lanka are much more appreciative of our position. With regard to reconciliation, I think it is a pity that we rely so much on the trickle-down effect, and it is time Reconciliation also came under a Ministry that could devote due attention to this important matter.
With regard to human rights violations, I believe the LLRC did a good job, and it is a pity that those who have political agendas were critical of the LLRC report, since that has distracted us from concentrating on the few areas where the LLRC did find cases that required further investigation. The High Commissioner has made the matter worse by referring to the Darusman report, which has no official status here, and is a shoddy piece of work, as she must realize if she has any understanding of evidence as opposed to gossip.
However we should certainly investigate what the LLRC drawns attention to, and I believe this is being done by the army. I have not seen that report, but I would agree that it should be public, as should be the report of the Udalagama Commission to which she also refers, and government should make clear what action it proposes to take. We are told that some matters are now with the Attorney General, but information should be precise. Unfortunately, as we saw with the horrors of what the Americans did in Iraq, such matters are not dealt with transparently. Though two wrongs do not make a right, I would wish the High Commissioner were tougher with more flagrant abuse elsewhere, and also that the media and organizations that focus on us did more about those ongoing abuses. But when someone like Elie Wiezel justifies the death of a child when Osama bin Laden was killed, then one realizes that morality matters to very few people, so long as they can criticize those they want to criticize for other reasons.

(FortCollins-CO) I had to take a minute to calm myself down before I sat down to write this article. The people in Nugget management have me in complete bewilderment as to what they are trying to do with this team. I was hoping to have good news to report after the draft concerning any trades or new personnel, but instead the Nuggets decided to trade quite possibly the biggest sleeper in the draft! Now they are in worse shape then they were after they humbly allowed the Clippers to win in five and if that wasn't enough they still don't have a General Manager.
With the 49th pick in the 2006 NBA Draft the Denver Nuggets selected Leon Powe. Powe is a 6'8" power forward from University of California at Berkley who was featured as one of the top sleepers in the draft according to ESPN.com earlier this week. So naturally, since the Nuggets are notorious for blowing it on draft day, they traded their pick to Boston for another second round pick in next year's draft. If they were just going to trade whoever was around late in the second round it should be no surprise to anyone that they wouldn't have yet announced who the GM of this team is either. Anyone with a pulse could have just traded a guy like Powe to the Celtics and then had a coke and a smile. So, to recap this off season let me just remind everyone what the Nuggets have gotten accomplished; First, they (Being players and coaches) have publicly trashed each other's styles and characters in the media. Second, have not signed Carmelo Anthony to any kind of contract. Third, have not traded Kenyon Martin nor signed Nene. Fourth, have not addressed the blatant deficiency at shooting guard. And finally, and most frustrating, is they draft and trade a power forward that could be a big time talent at the same time as being a cheap back up plan in the probable event that Nene or Kenyon Martin do get traded before the start of preseason camp in October.
Is Stan Kroenke purposely trying to sabotage this franchise? I have to ask because this is certainly no way to run a basketball team that is supposed to be committed to getting better in hopes of one day winning the NBA championship (Or at least getting out of the first round).
There is no good news, no good buzz on the street, and certainly no sense being made at this point for the Nuggets. Oh, but just in case your wondering, Julius Hodge is doing fine despite being shot numerous times after an altercation at a night club earlier this year and not being able to contribute for the Nuggets in anyway, shape, or form last season.
If the Nuggets and their management do not get the ball rolling in the right direction soon it is not going to amount to much success in next year's campaign. Slipping into a cushy third seed isn't going to happen next year. This is a team that is ready to perish like a poor villager at the foot of the great volcano as it erupts destructively all over the country side. Anything, and I do mean ANYTHING, at this point not concerning Shawn Kemp or any other riffraff that has been plaguing this team since about the All-Star break would seem like a wish granted.

Joe Giudice Has More Than Jail Time To Worry About
With the sentencing of Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Joe and Teresa Giudice fast-approaching, the majority of the talk/speculation/commentary has been on whether or not the Giudices — one or both of them — will wind up in jail for their 40-some-odd charges. But, there's another issue Joe and Teresa may have to face come Sept. 23 when they learn their family's fate: Joe Giudice might be deported. To Italy. For real.
See, despite having lived in the United States since he was 1-year-old, Joe Giudice technically isn't a U.S. citizen; he's a legal U.S. immigrant, who's a citizen of Italy. And, apparently, when you break a law — or in Joe's case, allegedly several — you, in so many words, put your stay here in America in jeopardy. Immigration attorney Michael Wildes told E! News that if he's found guilty, Joe would first serve his time and then immigration could start the deportation process. "This is not a good position to be in. Joe's green card will not hold water," he explained. Wildes also added that it's "quite likely" that the RHONJ star will face the deportation process due to the Immigration and Nationality Act — but whether or not the government will go through with it is unclear.
It has to be a pretty terrifying thought that, on top of possibly going to jail for up to four years, Joe could also be removed from the country, taking him away from his family even longer. Teresa reportedly has been playing it cool, but this isn't something that should be taken lightly. How's this for a scary fact, Teresa: More than half of the people deported from the U.S. last year were removed from the country because of a criminal conviction, according to The Star-Ledger. Yikes. Might be time to get an immigration lawyer, also.

Oliver Miller entered a guilty plea on first-degree assault and weapons charges, stemming from a pistol-whipping incident. The Baltimore Sun reports: "Oliver J. Miller, 41, a former NBA player, pleaded guilty in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court to first-degree assault and carrying a handgun, allegations that stemmed from a family argument at a cookout in April. Deputy State's Attorney Thomas J. Fleckenstein said that Miller followed Jason Worley from the cookout, and was seen whacking Worley in the head and face with a handgun outside Worley's home before driving away. Worley suffered a concussion and other injuries, the prosecutor said, but the gun was not found. The maximum sentence would be more than 25 years, and Fleckenstein said he will seek jail time for Miller, who has no prior convictions. Judge Paul A. Hackner would allow Miller to withdraw his plea if he's inclined to sentence him to more than 18 months, Fleckenstein said. Sentencing is scheduled for December."

Dennis Lehane moved from Boston to Southern California "three years, nine months, and two days ago," he says, and the specificity of his answer gives him away. He knows it; he's not hiding anything. But he is feeling a bit unsettled. It's a brisk Friday afternoon in Santa Monica, and he has no obvious reason to be at loose ends: His 14th novel, Since We Fell, is due out any minute; he's working with David E. Kelley (Ally McBeal, Big Little Lies) on a ten-episode adaptation of Stephen King's 2014 novel Mr. Mercedes; he's got a vacation to Hawaii coming up, and he has nothing pressing he needs to finish. And yet that's the problem, or one of them. "I have a very hard time not working," he concedes, in a voice that bears a trace of Boston, where he was born and where nearly all his most-celebrated books, such as Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone, take place. "You don't want to be around me if I'm not working. I start to lose my identity fast."
Lehane, who's 51, is best known for his novels, but he's spent the past decade or so carving out a parallel career in film and television, starting in 2004, when he began writing for The Wire. Several of his novels have been adapted into features — Mystic River in 2003 by Clint Eastwood, Shutter Island by Martin Scorsese in 2010 — which is why Lehane came west in 2013, where he now pursues a bifurcated existence: a New Englander in California; an author seeking to balance the isolation of writing prose with the collaborative nature of TV. "I've been doing it so long, for 31 years, I don't know how to not," he says of writing fiction. "Scripts are all about advancing the narrative. But I need to just write a nice clean line now and then."
Lehane is talking about art, and he's talking about business, but he's also talking about finding a comfort zone. This is an ongoing theme in his life these days: the matter of expatriation, even exile. His school-age daughters are happy in the west. The work is plentiful and good. "If I go back, I give all that up." As for the restlessness, it has always been a part of what drives him, and a key factor in his fiction: "It's very hard for me to drill down on a character who's not an outsider. I don't function well with people who fit."
His work often centers on characters who are unsure of what they want or what they have, and Since We Fell features such a figure: a former investigative reporter named Rachel Childs. It moves from her childhood with a withholding mother, to her experience covering the 2010 Haiti earthquake, to her marriage to a mysterious man who has a talent for turning up where he should not. The novel sprang, he says, from a desire to "do a Hitchcock" — to tell a story where the danger is related to the personality of the main character, a mystery in which the risk is psychological and physical.
Since We Fell is a departure for Lehane — part thriller and part domestic drama, it's largely the saga of Rachel's complicated marital life. Perhaps not coincidentally, Lehane finds himself at a new imprint with a new editor. The book also benefited from what he calls "happy accident," the moment the narrative begins to assert itself. He cites the first 100 pages, which detail Rachel's early years. They were not part of the original draft but grew from a scene in which the character confronts the memory of her mother. "It was a great feeling, because I felt: I'm not writing for plot anymore. It's like my first drafts are base coat." Asked to elaborate, he breaks the process into two parts: plot and the interior narrative. "First, get why they read down. Then get why you write down."
For Lehane, this is an increasingly essential balance, between crime fiction and social narrative. "It was only after I finished Mystic River that I realized I was writing about the vanishing of a culture. It's like that great Tony Soprano line: 'I'm getting the feeling that I came in at the end.' That's what I was writing about — a group of people who felt they came in at the end." Now he wants to cast the net more widely to write about people he hasn't addressed. "The idea of the white male working-class crime story," he says, "I can't wrap my arms around it anymore."
There it is again, that uneasiness, that restlessness. The Red Sox are on TV, and Lehane checks the score, then tells a story about his father, who constantly "talked about going back to Ireland every day from the time he landed in Boston. The immigrant's lament." After his first flush of success, Lehane offered to buy his father a property in Ireland, only to be rebuffed. "Why the hell would I want that?" the older man said to him, as if complaining had been the point. "I worry," Lehane says with a chuckle, "that I'm that guy now."
Since We Fell will be published on May 9 by Ecco.

Music majors often find it hard to identify study abroad programs which will help advance their musical studies. As I study Church Music, it was slightly easier than looking for a performance program, but I still needed to find a school with a music program that was comparable to the one at my home college. I decided to come to Dublin because I would be immersed in Western Church music tradition, close enough to the UK to explore and experience more choral and church programs, and could be immersed in Irish culture. I knew Trinity had a music program, but of course it was hard not knowing what modules I would be able to enrol in until arriving at Trinity.

Loose Teeth, Shaky Tooth – Causes in Adults and Children
In children, loose and shaky teeth are commonly seen during normal childhood tooth loss when the primary or baby teeth make way for the permanent set of teeth. This starts around the age of 6 to 7 years and is usually complete by the age of 12 to 13. Children, with their sugary diet and active lifestyle, are more prone to tooth decay and trauma respectively.
Tooth decay, gum disease and trauma are the three most important causes of shaky, loose teeth in adults. Loose teeth in an adult is a sign of poor dental health and often the conditions leading to loose teeth are preventable. Taking proper care to ensure good oral hygiene is one of the most important steps which can help to save a tooth from becoming loose and eventually falling out.
Wire splints can be used to strengthen loose tooth by anchoring it to neighboring teeth. Some amount of tooth sensitivity is often seen after a tooth splinting procedure but it should settle with time.
Why do teeth become loose?
Healthy gums and bone hold the teeth firmly in place. The teeth are normally anchored securely in their sockets in the jaw bone. The periodontal membrane binds the root of the tooth to the jaw bone and also allows some amount of movement of the tooth within the bony socket.
With accumulation of excessive plaque there is inflammation of the gums, which pull away from the tooth. A pocket is formed that gets filled with more plaque. As the pocket gets deeper, the plaque hardens to form tartar, over which more plaque gets deposited. As the tartar moves down to the root of the tooth, it erodes the bone supporting the tooth and eventually succeeds in destroying it. With this support compromised, the tooth becomes loose and may either fall out or will need to be removed.
In case of tooth decay and dental cavities, the enamel, dentin, and finally the pulp are affected. The tooth becomes weak and may break easily and it may become loose in its socket. In addition, an infection can spread from the root of the tooth to the bones supporting the it.
Causes of Loose, Shaky Teeth
- Gum disease such as gingivitis and periodontitis
- Trench mouth
- Gum abscess
- Tooth decay and dental caries
- Misaligned teeth or malocclusion puts extra pressure on teeth that come together before all the other teeth.
- Bruxism – habitual grinding or clenching of teeth
- Dental abscess
- Normal childhood tooth loss
Dental Procedures
- Bone loss around dental implants seems to be a more common feature than previously thought. The more the number of implants, the greater the amount of supporting bone loss.
- Orthodontic treatment involving use of wires or braces often leads to loose teeth as a result of pressure due to these appliances.
- Accidental trauma or assault
- Injuries while undergoing dental procedures may lead to a loose tooth.
- Therapeutic related dental injuries, such as during endotracheal intubation has been reported in some cases.
Systemic Causes
- Osteoporosis in the extreme form may cause teeth to become loose but other signs of osteoporosis (decrease in bone density) such as brittle bones and frequent fractures will be more evident much earlier.
- Sjogren's syndrome is associated with early tooth loss.
- Chronic illness such as diabetes.
- Lowered immune status in AIDS or cancer.
Nutritional Causes
- Severe nutritional deficiencies
- Extreme malnutrition
- Scurvy – vitamin C deficiency
Other Causes
- Smoking and use of chewing tobacco predispose to gum disease and people with such habits are more likely to suffer from loosening of the teeth. Upon quitting smoking and stopping use of tobacco products, gum disease has been seen to improve significantly.
- Age-related. Periodontitis is the main cause of tooth loss in older people.
- Alveolar bone abscess
- Oral cavity cancer
- Jaw misalignment

ITEC Sports Massage Level 4 Certificate
You must hold a Level 3 qualification before taking this course. Please see below for details.
Qualification attained: ITEC Sports Massage Certificate, Level 4
Course duration: 14 contact days over a 9 month period
QCF Qualification No: QAN: 501/0942/X
Why study ITEC Sports Massage courses? What is QCF?
The Qualifications Credits Frameword (QCF) is a system devised by Ofqual (the UK government's appointed regulator for education and training) that enables you to compare courses from different providers, as each course will be based on the same syllabus and will cover an agreed set of learning outcomes. All ITEC courses conform to the QCF. Each course is assigned a "Level" which makes it comparable with other QCF registered courses of the same level from other providers.
Some widely available massage qualifications are not QCF registered, but their providers nevertheless allocate a "level" to their courses. This may be confusing, as they are not registered with Ofqual - something which may not be immediately apparent - and are therefore not easily comparable with other courses.
You can search for QCF registered courses at Ofqual's website HERE (click on the link and search for "sports massage") or ask the provider of a course you are considering to tell you the QCF Qualification Number.
ITEC qualifications ARE all registered with Ofqual and they DO conform to the QCF. They have the added advantage of being recognized in many other countries around the world. That's why we decided to teach ITEC courses at Accredited Massage Courses.
Sports Massage Level 4 at Accredited Massage Courses
Many students look for a "fast-track" option for Sports Massage, but at Level 4 that's not possible.
The format of this course enables students to attain their ITEC Sports Massage Level 4 Diploma in about 9 months. We have changed the delivery format recently to make it easier for working people to attend. It now involves 1 weekend per month for the first four months, then 4 revision days over the remaining time. At the end of the 9 months there are two more days for the mock and final exams.
You will find other colleges that claim to get you through this course in three months. While this course is not academically burdensome, the course is about you "growing" as a therapist. You need time to get used to the techniques you're learning, to practise them and to include them in your therapeutic repertoire. It's not feasible to do this in just 3 months. It no longer requires as much coursework as it used to (before the changes to the course that were introduced in 2015). There are now 10 case studies to carry out and there is no longer a requirement for the voluntary work that was once required. But time is required to consolidate all the knowledge that you acquire on the course.
The ITEC Sports Massage Level 4 Diploma is provides an excellent opportunity for the qualified Massage Therapist to further his or her knowldege of body therapy. During the course, students will learn special techniques that can be applied to a variety of common sporting injuries and conditions appropriate to Sport Massage and cover a wide range of topics relevant to sports and exercise, including:
- The changes that occur during exercise to the muscular system.
- The physiology of a muscle cell.
- The effects of stress on muscles during sport.
- The origin, insertion and action of a wide range of muscles.
- The changes that occur during exercise to the neurological system.
- The stresses and strains put on the spine and joints during sporting activities
- The possible causes and effects of a variety of diseases and disorders
- The principles of sports training
- The stages of the healing process and the possible treatments available.
- The use of preventative and rehabilitative training to reinforce massage treatments.
- Methods of consultation
- The selection of appropriate massage, according to the client's condition and needs.
- A knowledge of common sports injuries that can be treated after medical approval.
The first 8 contact days (4 weekends) are very practical and "hands-on". Students will be guided through the more theoretical aspects of the Sports Massage Syllabus, but will be expected to undertake much of the studying required in their own time. Contact days will be primarily practical.
The next 4 days are revision tutorials, during which students will go over everything they have been taught and apply it in practice.
The final 2 days are for the compulsory mock exam and the externally examined final exam.
The ITEC Sports Massage Level 4 Diploma course will allow successful students to joint the Sports Massage Association (SMA) with Full Membership.
Pre-requisite Qualifications
This is not an entry-level qualification, so students must hold a Level 3 qualification in massage before they can take this course. After changes that were made in 2015, students are required to have Sports Massage Level 3, but we accept people onto this course who hold either Massage Level 3 or Sports Massage Level 3.
This means that students who do not already hold Sports Massage Level 3 will have to take their Sports Massage Level 3 and Level 4 exams on the same day. It's not something to worry about. It just means there's a little more work to do towards the end of the course.
News dates for this course will be available soon. Please subscribe to our newsletter to be notified.

Luce's Third Annual "Culinary Clash"
Main image icon | Restaurant Interior by Rien van Rijthoven
Luce at the InterContinental® San Francisco announces its partnership with Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts, San Francisco for the third annual Culinary Clash, the school's largest cooking competition and scholarship effort. The competition invites students from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts to compete for a chance to cook with Michelin-star Chef Daniel Corey and have their menu featured at the restaurant. Students submit menus and corresponding recipes through February 2014, and three finalists will cook at Luce to showcase their menu on a designated night starting in March. Event judges include a panel of hotel executives, local personalities and food writers, as well as guests of the restaurant that evening.
All participating student finalists receive cash prizes for scholarships at their respective schools, and the winner of Luce's Culinary Clash competes in an Ultimate Culinary Clash competition with the InterContinental New York Times Square, InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile, InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta, and InterContinental San Juan in San Francisco on May 15, 2014. One property along with its executive chef and student chef will be named winner of the overall competition. The winning student will receive additional scholarship money.
"The Culinary Clash is always an enjoyable and rewarding experience for not only the student chefs but the judges, guests, and hotel and restaurant team," says Gail Gerber, Area Director of Sales and Marketing. "We are excited to continue to support the culinary community in San Francisco but also showcase the emerging talents of these student chefs year-after-year."
Submissions are judged on consistency with Luce's style, as well as the ability to execute the menu within a particular price point. Chef Corey narrows down and selects the top six students to participate in an on-campus culinary challenge. The top three winners of the on-campus challenge continue on to have their menu featured at Luce. The fourth, fifth, and sixth place winners serve as sous chefs to the competing student chefs, helping execute the appetizer, entrée, and dessert dishes for restaurant guests. The students will also be in charge of pairing wines with their dishes, working in tandem with Wine Steward John Wight.
A portion of proceeds from each menu sold during the three dinners will go to the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts Scholarship Fund. The three-course dinners are offered at $40 per person on the following dates, with one student featured each night: Sunday, March 9, 2014; Sunday, March 16, 2014; and Sunday, March 23, 2014. Wine pairing, tax and gratuity are not included.
Le Cordon Bleu finalists competing in Luce's Culinary Clash and the date their menu will be featured are as follows:
Sunday, March 9: Student Chef Ruhi Johar
New to the culinary scene, Ruhi Johar had never worked in the restaurant industry prior to starting school at Le Cordon Bleu. Born in the island country of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf, Johar has led a global life with Australian citizenship and experience living all over the world. With a background in IT, Johar pursued a culinary school education after realizing she found more joy from food than from her computer-heavy job. In addition to highly anticipating the Culinary Clash, Johar enjoys spending time with her daughter and husband at home in Pleasanton, California and collecting old cookbooks.
Sunday, March 16: Student Chef Austin Alexander
Austin Alexander may have started his restaurant career in the front of the house, but the Wildomar, California native was drawn to the back of the house where he was inspired to enroll in culinary school. At Le Cordon Bleu, Alexander loves the freedom to create his own dishes and work with his hands. With his favorite course being Contemporary Cuisine, it's no surprise that the Tiburon, California resident draws inspiration from Copenhagen's René Redzepi of Noma. While Alexander dreams of heading a Michelin star restaurant, he also enjoys tennis, camping, surfing, and fishing.
Sunday, March 23: Student Chef Ronak Nanda
Throughout his life, Ronak Nanda's culinary passion was influenced by the women in his life including his mother, grandmother, and aunt. The Mumbai, India native had a unique start to his industry career as a flight attendant for Jet Airways. After always wanting to go to culinary school, Nanda moved to San Francisco and enrolled in Le Cordon Bleu's Associate of Occupational Studies program in 2005 where he currently works on improving his skills and dreams of owning his own restaurant. In addition to his favorite patisserie and baking classes at school, Nanda enjoys running and is looking forward to cooking in the Luce kitchen.

I apologize for the delay in getting our first theme round up on the blog. I was preparing to get things wrapped up and then our neighbourhood had a power outage (snow load on power lines probably). So here I am, laptop in lap, at a nearby coffee house that has power (and more importantly wi-fi and heat).
Anyway, our first theme round is now up for viewing! This time it's 'Reconnaissance' and we have a record number of submissions (I think 53) for your viewing pleasure. So get your favourite beverage and settle in for a wonderful tour of all things sneaky, wily and observant.
One thing to note when viewing the gallery is that Blogger has a glitch dealing with large uploads, where when you advance to view the next submission it may skip one or two ahead. Yes, very aggravating and it's been an issue for years. Anyway, the way to get around it is to use the master submission list on the right sidebar to advance through the entries.
After you've enjoyed the gallery please take some time to consider all the entrants and vote for our favourites. There is no limit to the number you can vote for, so don't feel constrained. Next Sunday I'll announce the results of the voting and give out bonus points to the top three contenders.
Have fun!
Have fun!
Last week I picked up David Brown's 'General d' Armee' rules and realized that I haven't painted a Napoleonic figure (much less a unit) in an age. This is amazing as when I started my personal blog years ago that's ALL I painted. It's funny how things go in cycles.
So today's update is a British Exploring Officer serving in the Peninsula, circa 1810.
These chaps composed a group of intelligence officers that served Wellington during the Peninsular Wars as his 'Peninsula Corps of Guides'. Their primary function was to survey the countryside and make modern maps for strategic planning, but increasingly they were used to gather intelligence on French plans and movements.
The Exploring Officers refused to be considered as spies and so conducted their missions behind enemy lines wearing their full uniforms. They relied heavily on local partisans for local knowledge, guides and support. Since they were usually excellent horsemen, mounted on fast thoroughbreds, they had a good chance of evading French patrols using speed and evasion.
Colquhoun Grant (great name btw) was perhaps the most famous of Wellington's Exploring Officers. He provided sterling service throughout the wars and had many harrowing adventures in French territory (even posing as an American officer in Paris!). Wellington held him in trust so much that during the Waterloo campaign he essentially relied on Grant's reports on French movements to the exclusion of all other intelligence (which, as we know, almost led to disaster).
This figure is from Brigade Games, sculpted by Paul Hicks. I quite like the rider, with his wide brimmed sun hat and jaunty pose, but the mount provided was a little stiff and uninspiring. So I used a damaged horse I had from a spare Riders of Rohan boxed set (Thanks Byron!), feeling that it had a more animated pose. I had to shave off a few bits of offending tack and horse armour and then 'greenstuffed' a more period-specific saddle blanket, blanket roll and a sporty forelock to his noble head. The other issue with the poor brute was that it had one hoof missing - so I sunk the 'abbreviated' leg into a base of greenstuff, affixed both to the base and then masked the mess with some strategically placed groundwork.
Enjoy the Bonus Round everyone!

Stages Of The Harran Virus
Zach6699 posted a topic in General DiscussionsStage One: Patient is infected with virus, will soon experience mild seizures. Stage Two: Patients will turn into a viral, with slightly limited cognitive ability, while they retain their physical ability. Children develop strengthened vocal cords and turn into Screamers. Stage Three: Patient loses hair, and develops a form of Leprosy, as physical ability is significantly diminished, and they grow skin sores and/or tumors all over the body. No mental skills remain. Stage Four: At night the patient transforms into the penultimate stage of the virus, a volatile. They regain physical and some mental skills. Their jaw is split and they grow a weakness to UV rays, Natural or Artificial. Volatiles that consumed Dr. Zere's Bait Grow green blisters and become immune to UV light, but they are easily spooked.

The Latest: Trump 'celebrating' tax day in Minnesota
President Donald Trump is in Minnesota to highlight the $1.5 trillion package of corporate and individual tax cuts he signed into law in 2017
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Latest on President Donald Trump's trip to Minnesota (all times local):
2:20 p.m.
President Donald Trump says he's celebrating Tax Day.
Trump flew to Minnesota on Monday to highlight the $1.5 trillion package of corporate and individual tax cuts he signed into law in 2017. U.S. taxpayers across the country are rushing to meet a midnight Monday deadline for filing their income tax returns with the IRS.
A smattering of boos rose from the audience at a trucking company in the Minneapolis suburb of Burnsville after Trump said "today is Tax Day that we're celebrating."
Trump says incorrectly that he enacted the largest package of tax cuts in history. But the facts don't bear that out.
Trump's package considerably trails Ronald Reagan's 1981 tax cuts, Barack Obama's 2013 extension of George W. Bush's tax cuts, and others.
1:05 p.m.
President Donald Trump is spending America's tax filing day in Minnesota.
Trump arrived in Minneapolis on Monday and was headed to a trucking company in the suburb of Burnsville to host a roundtable discussion on the economy.
The president says the economy is doing well. He also says a package of corporate and individual tax cuts he signed into law in 2017 are "working very, very well."
Minnesota U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, said Sunday the tax cuts added trillions of dollars to the nation's debt and disproportionately helped the wealthy.
Trump's tax day visit also renews attention on his refusal to release his tax returns.
Trump narrowly lost Minnesota to Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016 but hopes to claim victory here in 2020.

Cape Town - Springbok team doctor, Dr Konrad von Hagen has confirmed that Oupa Mohoje will not be fit for the third Test match against France in Johannesburg on Saturday.
Mohoje left the field after a clash of heads early in the first half during the second Test in Durban. He was replaced by Jean-Luc du Preez.
Jesse Kriel, who missed the second Test is busy with the final phase of his return to play protocol and will be available for selection if he comes through the tests successfully.
The midfielder received a blow to the head in the first Test in Pretoria, which resulted in a weeklong layoff.
Van Hagen confirmed that those were the only injury worries at present.
"There are the usual bumps and bruises but that is to be expected after tough and very physical Test match," said Dr Von Hagen. "Other than that, the players are in good physical condition and in high spirits."
The Bok team to take on France in the final series encounter will be named on Thursday afternoon.
