Decoding the Mantras of a Stellar Email Campaign
According to Forrester Research, the e-mail marketing industry will soar to $3.1 billion, up from $2.1 billion in 2015. 72% percent of consumers chose email when asked, "In which of the following ways, if any, would you prefer companies to communicate with you?" according to Marketing Sherpa.
But with great Power come great Responsibility; and the responsibility is getting your email reach the mailbox of your audience without falling into the clutches of Spam and ISP filters. So you cannot 'force' your campaign on any average Joe, for it will land into the spam folder moments past clicking the 'Send' Button and do damage to your reputation as a business.
After years of meditation, Monks from our Monastery finally have attained the answers to attain oneness with your email campaign.
Step-by-Step Guide to crafting the Perfect Email Campaign
Create your list
If you are into medical supplies, it is advisable to have a mailing list consisting of chemist rather than General physician. Hence conducting a research on who your target audience is a very vital and crucial step in planning an email campaign.
Stay Blacklisted / Get Whitelisted… Choice is yours
Unless your mailing list consists of only family members, you should have permission to send email promotion to anyone, or risk getting Blacklisted. There are many ways to do so, but common 2 types of methods are:
Ask the person to add your email to their known contacts.
Encourage them into joining your mailing list by showing the advantages of joining.
Buzzfeed makes use of empowering words such as "Settle" and "Less" to motivate people to join
Tumblr went the direct way of offering more content on subscribing.
Hola! No hablo ingles!!! – Writing International Emails
Talking to someone in their native language brings a sense of bonding with the client, but this effort can backfire if your message gets lost in translation. Also provide proper content according to the location, since sending your latest fur collection portfolio for someone living in Miami beach, FL is a strict no-brainer.
Create an intensive, exclusive incentive
Outside of work, Americans most commonly check their email while watching TV (70%), from bed (52%), on vacation (50%), while on the phone (43%), from the bathroom (42%) and even—most dangerously—while driving (18%), according to Adobe.
So unless your content has some meat there is a strong chance that your Click To Rate (CTR) can take a nose dive. Put some incentive that compels your clients to go through your mail and land on your landing page. In tunes to Benjamin Franklin famous words, "An email well read is an email well received." So make it count.
Handy motivates user to follow them on Twitter to stand a chance to win Prizes.
Innovation is the name of the game
We imagine a situation wherein you have a well extensive list of subscriber list. But what now? Send them the same set of information, 'lucrative' deals and you'll soon observe your mailing list thinning. Even Siri (for iPhone) has a personality, give your email one too. Your readers are human and they should connect with you.
"Email is not dead because people want to write to one another, using their email accounts, in more than 140-character bursts," – Neil Schwartzman, Executive Director, CAUCE
Here're some divine email marketing tips to approach a successful campaign:
Prepare a series of emails beginning with a Welcome Mail to make them feel at home.
A Thank You e-mail for a client who purchased some item from your e-commerce site.
Promotional e-mails, that keeps them in loop with upcoming updates.
A Re-engagement e-mail, in case they stopped opening your mails.
A survey mail, in case they wish to opt-out/unsubscribe.
Mailing frequency should be set such that your readers should anticipate your next mail and not get bombarded with your mails. Also your readers have an attention span, don't dump information on them. It's not what you send but how you present retains your mailing list and keeps them craving for new updates.
Craft your mail in such a way that you start with a bang and don't fizzle out. Make use of the Email subject and pre-header to deliver what you desire to say in a glimpse. There are many ways to do so:
Birchbox has a very innovative Welcome email which combines the intention of welcoming the new subscriber and provides an incentive to ensure loyalty.
Handy's innovative way to showcase their range in a single sentence brings smiles.
Dropbox's welcome mail for their product Paper.
Call-To-Action can be Creative-Tacky-Attractive
The Call-To-Action button or CTA in the mail is the actual Excalibur stuck in stone, not everyone can pull it off (pun intended). A CTA is the point where your marketing pitch turns into prospective sale – the true scale of how effective your campaign is.
Shapes play an important role in making a CTA button attention seeking. Play safe with a rectangular button if your tone of correspondence is professional, but avoid star-shaped or smiley patterns since they are perceived as too-casual.
Color your world: 85% of the subscribers make the purchase based on colors. For instance, Red color known to bring text and images to the foreground can be used for accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions – a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons. At the same time, Blue CTA is used to suggest precision when promoting high-tech products, and to promote products and services related to cleanliness, air and sky, water and sea.
Placement is also crucial when putting a CTA button in your mail. Keep it on top and it can be lost in the fold, place it at the bottom and it can be missed by the reader, place in the middle and it'll distract attention from main content. If your mail contains images then safe bet is to place it below the image since human brain registers images faster than text.
CAN-SPAM or Cannot Spam… that is the question
The CAN-SPAM (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing) Act of 2003 empowers recipients with the right to have a business stop emailing them, and outlines the penalties incurred for those who violate the law.
So Beware!!! For every single email that violates the CAN-SPAM Act, the FTC will fine you $16,000.
No one likes there mails mismistyped, mis-splet and mis-aligned
Mobile email will account for 15 to 70% of email opens, depending on your target audience, product and email type. (eMailmonday). Also, you get up to 3 seconds to catch someone's attention and if you do a good job of that, they will spend more time and read more.
Considering the above two facts, it is really important that your mail has gone through proper spell checking and no matter what email clients they use, your mail should be properly rendered across all devices – courtesy breakthrough tools like Litmus and Email on Acid. Our Monks provide beautiful e-mail templates thoroughly coded, with alt-text and fallback support, such that your mails never lose their sheen when opened.
Re-engage with patrons
According to a 2014 Forrester Research report, "One in five (19%) of consumers said they read every email newsletter they receive just to see if something's on offer". At the same time according to Marketing Sherpa 75% of email subscribers are inactive. So, there are a chances that you start out with a strong subscriber-base of 1000+; but your CTR can drop to a few hundred by the end of year (Hypothetically, we pray that it doesn't) and when it happens it's time to re-engage with your readers.
But, what forces subscribers to Disengage?
- Overload of information with overdose of emails
- Deceptive subject lines with no real value in the offer
- Confusing design without proper hierarchy
- Not optimized for mobile
- Repetitive or irrelevant content
- Prefer obtaining information from alternative source (Everyone's nightmare… Competition!!!)
- Change of circumstances like job, re-location, interest in the topic
A good way to know what hurdles you face and understand your subscriber, is to send a feedback form at regular intervals. It helps the reader feel important and get you honest responses.
Email Deliverability – Rubber ball bounces, your email shouldn't
Bounces aren't good for your email list, because of the negative impact on deliverability and the success of your email campaigns. If some addresses continually bounce (due to Mailbox Full or Auto Reply/Soft bounces), it may be time to either remove from your list, but allow the contact to be added again, or include them to Do Not Mail List will make sure that the contact can never be added again (in case of non-existent email address or Blocked Contact)
E-mail marketing campaign is a very powerful tool. Marketers consistently ranked email as the single most effective tactic for awareness, acquisition, conversion, and retention. – Gigaom Research.
Think like a gardener, a properly pruned list in form segments shall yield fruits later.
It's Black or white. Ask for mailing permissions to avoid Blacklisting.
Provide an incentive to attract newcomers
Pre-header and Clever Subject-line can help a lot.
Call-To-Action should actually call.
Take heed of CAN-SPAM rules.
Take time to correct mistakes now than loose a customer later.
Drop the drop rates. Research, Review and consult your list.

A fishing boat sailing off the coast of Korea's southernmost island of Jejudo caught fire and sank on Monday, leaving six people dead and one missing, according to Jeju Coast Guard.
According to Kim, the 37-year-old captain of the boat, the fire broke out around 4:55 a.m. while the vessel was sailing in waters 108 kilometers southwest of Jeju City.
The crew was rescued by fishing boats and a coast guard ship. The injured men were moved to a hospital in nearby Jeju City, but six -- all five of the Indonesians and a 45-year-old Korean sailor surnamed Kim -- died while being treated.
The boat sank around 7:15 a.m., just over two hours after the fire broke out.
Officials said they are searching the area for the missing sailor with the help of seven civilian fishing boats.
The coast guard explained that the sunken boat was more vulnerable to flames than aluminum vessels because it was made of fiber-reinforced plastic, a composite material known to be as strong as iron and lighter than aluminum.

Most smokers will agree that the Double Corona is the leading cigar in the Punch brand. Offering more body than the Churchill, the earthy/leathery/woody flavors develop in perfect balance throughout the multiple phases of this complex cigar. In the first phase, sweet notes of honey intersperse base flavors giving a very distinctive, never aggressive, tone. These flavors become more pronounced in the second phase and keep building in a powerful ascension toward a strong finish. This is a cigar for regular smokers and one that will become so much better with time in the humidor.
The Punch Double corona is ideal after a good lunch. It remains one of the top Double Coronas.
A full bodied cigar delivering a spicy but smooth smoke.

Baby Feet
For the untrained eye, there might be signs that your child has some developmental problems, which remains unseen at an early age.
If the issues are still on going as the child grows older, it will get more difficult to treat and will affect the child's quality of life.
So an early diagnostic through assessment is primordial.
Below are the 3 common feet deformations:
It occurs in approximately
one out of 1,000
and may pose an increased risk of developing hip dysplasia.
How to recognise it:
- Heel deviates laterally
- Sole deviates medially (Kidney shaped)
- Both feet are inverted (facing each other)
- Foot easily dorsiflexed
Out toeing
Most common neonatal foot deformity
More common in females
Easy to diagnose shortly after birth
How to recognise it:
- Foot has up and out appearance
- Toes can touch anterior tibia
- Limited plantar flexion (less than 90 degrees)
- Soles have banana shape
- Feet are facing away from each other
It occurs in one to two per 1,000 births
How to recognise it:
- Heel points downward while the front half of the foot turns inward
- Soles face each other
- Inability to dorsiflex
- Very tight heel cord
- Leg internal rotation

Kim and Phil Vaillancourt know firsthand how quick life can alter. Just 48 hrs after the Tonawanda, N.Y. couple in addition to their two children joyously celebrated the ceremony that finalized the adoption of three sisters they fostered for three years, Kim was identified as having a rare and aggressive sort of brain cancer.
The Vaillancourt's nightmare began Christmas day, when Kim, who had been 20 weeks pregnant that has a boy, experienced nausea as well as a headache that could not disappear completely.
'I would've just thought I had a headache as well as the flu and I could have laid during sex,' the 36-year-old mother told Associated Press (AP). But Kim, worried that will certainly keep food down was keeping the little one from having the nourishment he needed, chose to go to your hospital to get checked out. That decision saved her life.
MRI scans revealed the young mother had two tumors in her own brain: one about the frontal lobe and another dangerously near her brain stem. Kim underwent eight hours of surgery to get rid of the tumors then got what is the news that she had Grade 4 glioblastoma, a fast-growing, deadly brain cancer.
With treatment, lifespan expectancy of an person with Kim's diagnosis is roughly 14 months. Without treatment, life-span drops in order to six to eight months. With a payment date of April 25, Kim decide to postpone chemotherapy and radiation until following the baby ' named Wyatt Eli ' was given birth to.
'She can do what she will to save the child's life and provides it the healthiest life possible,' Phil Vaillancourt told AP.
For now, the blueprint is to have Kim undergo MRIs every fourteen days. Recent scans show she cancer-free, but glioblastoma tumors can reappear in eight to 12 weeks.
'As long as being the scans keep coming back 'clean,' we have been blessed with at a later date that selecting Wyatt can grow,' Kim told US Weekly. 'Wyatt afflicted me with a chance, and I am likely to give him the opportunity.'
As they approach Wyatt's birth, the Vaillancourts in addition to their children ' Ryan 12, Hailey 11, and newest family Kamila 10, Josie, 7 and Charlie 6 ' increasingly becoming support from other family, friends and faith.
'They're amazingly strong, their faith hasn't ever been stronger,' family friend Jenna Koch told ABC News. 'They're blessed every morning and have a beautiful family.'
And it really is her faith that keeps Kim going. 'We live by our faith. We trust in God completely,' Kim told US Weekly. 'I am protected in any event. I will return home with Jesus or I will be here with my hubby and kids.'

The Money Charity is today calling for new partners to secure the future of its flagship Student Moneymanual, our vital finance guide for young people.
Since 2010 the Moneymanual has been generously supported by Santander, but this partnership has now come to an end – meaning there's a unique opportunity to get involved with this essential product.
The Moneymanual reaches more than half a million current and prospective students every year, giving them the latest tips and tricks about managing their money. It's available in hard copy and as a PDF for free to schools, colleges, universities, and individuals – with a small charge to cover postage and packing for hard copies.
The 2014/15 Moneymanual alone has been distributed in over 155 student unions and universities, over 300 schools and colleges, and directly to over a thousand teachers.
But without a new backer, the charity will no longer be able to produce the Moneymanual.
The first year at university is a particularly important time to learn about money, as it's the first time most students will have had to manage their own money and take responsibility for their finances.
The Moneymanual can play a big part in making the transition to financial independence less daunting: as many as 62% of those who had thoroughly read the Moneymanual claimed to pay close attention to their finances. That compares to 47% of those who had read the Moneymanual only briefly, and 37% of those who had not seen it at all.
And even briefly reading the Moneymanual made students more likely to be satisfied with their financial situation than those who hadn't seen it.
Michelle Highman, Chief Executive of The Money Charity, said:
"This is a fantastic opportunity for a partner to reach students before or as they arrive at university, and to contribute to their wellbeing.
"The Moneymanual is a trusted guide that students find really valuable and that speaks their language – and it has a lot of credibility among the higher education sector. We've worked with organisations like UCAS, the National Union of Students, NASMA, and Unite Students to reach young people, and are very proud of the what the Moneymanual has achieved to date.
"We'd love to hear from anyone who cares about student wellbeing and wants to reach half a million students every year with a product they actually engage with."
If you'd like to support the Student Moneymanual in any way, contact Bushara Awan, Head of Young People Programmes, The Money Charity on 0207 062 8933 or email@example.com to find out more – or click here.

Higgins Announces Approval of Bill Authorizing Risk Assessment of Proposed Nuclear Waste Transport across the Peace Bridge
Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) announced the House of Representatives has approved H.R. 677 the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Intelligence and Information Sharing Act of 2017. The bill, introduced by Rep. Martha McSally, includes language included by Rep. Higgins requiring the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a risk assessment prior to the transport of nuclear materials including the Department of Energy's (DOE) planned transport of highly enriched liquid nuclear uranium across the Peace Bridge. A similar bill was approved last session but was not considered in the Senate.
Approval of the legislation comes as a ruling on a related court case is imminent. Last summer a coalition of organizations filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Energy seeking judgement related to the requirement of an Environmental Impact Statement prior to authorization of the shipment of highly enriched liquid nuclear waste. As a result the court directed and parties on both sides agreed no shipments would take place prior to a decision which is expected on or before February 15, 2017.
"We continue to fight for appropriate environmental and safety assessments as the Department of Energy plans, for the first time, to move this hazardous material through our community," said Higgins, who has repeatedly expressed concern and taken action following the DOE's announcement that it will proceed with the transport of waste from the Chalk River Research reactor in Ontario over the Peace Bridge, through Western New York and other states en route to the Savannah River site without conducting a full environmental review. A summary of some of Congressman Higgins' actions on this issue is below:
July 24, 2014: Congressman Says Further Investigation Necessary Before Nuclear Waste Crosses Peace Bridge, Warns of Mobile Chernobyl
May 20, 2015: Higgins Wins Approval For Amendment to Require a Risk Assessment Prior to Planned Transport of Liquid Uranium Across Border

|Director John Ford.
|Monument Valley from "The Searchers."
John Ford is the only director who has won four Best Director Academy Awards. His legacy, in which he is called variously one of the top three directors ever or, by Orson Welles, the best, is enviable, defies challenge and endures. It is said that regardless of where his westerns were set, he filmed them in Monument Valley. It is land that I will always associate with him, as though he gave it voice.
Any of us who make things - poems, stories, movies, art, meals - must secretly harbor at least a faint wish that some of our efforts live after us. My maternal grandmother was not an artist in a professional sense, yet it was her recipes for tamale pie and rice pudding that I wanted served at my wedding. My late cousin and I learned as girls to make her Cornish pasties. If my son can be lured away from his Mexican and Asian dishes, perhaps he can be the next pasty generation.
As I write this on Father's Day, I think of the body of work my father created and how it still breathes. A younger writer with whom he became friends has taken on the task, to which he seems most dedicated, of compiling Dad's biography, including decades of newspaper columns, magazine articles, children's books and, especially, books about car travel throughout California. The author has shared facts with me that I never knew. I can't say it is immortality, for who knows how long any of our species will be here on this warming planet (Werner Herzog is not optimistic), yet the words Dad wrote, the immeasurable time spent in research and interview, contributed to material with lasting value. He has become, in his way, part of California history, recounting and, by doing so, preserving.
He also left his three children with a model of caring deeply about California's ancient trees and desert lands, native people, about the precision of words. We lived and watched as he practiced his craft, utilized his gifts, established solid professional footing. It was not a democracy, our childhood home, and the wide shadow he cast likely left indelible marks. Still, we became soft in ways we had not witnessed, soft meaning willing to adapt, to surrender to what could not be changed. We learned to find and revere what spoke to our hearts, to do our best to see that certain values were honored, elevated. We know that unnameable parts of us, parts of which we have become fond, would not exist had our raising been different. Legacy is a shape-shifter, coyote one moment, spirit guide the next, variable as fog off the rocky coast of Big Sur. Through intention or chance, we leave our mark. Legacy means we remain.

White House
Can Pelosi keep Trump from delivering a State of the Union address? Yes and no
Intitially, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she wasn't disinviting President Donald Trump from delivering his State of the Union address — the California Democrat insisted she just wanted him to come another time, once the partial government shutdown has ended.
But on Wednesday, Trump declined her recommendation to postpone, saying it would be "so very sad for our Country if the State of the Union were not delivered on schedule, and very importantly, on location!"
Pelosi, in turn, officially rescinded the invitation until federal operations resume. The shutdown Wednesday reached its 33rd day with no obvious end in sight.
But can Pelosi actually prevent Trump from delivering his speech from the dais of the floor of the House of Representatives on Jan. 29 as originally planned? What procedural maneuvers are at her disposal to complicate his efforts?
Here's what Pelosi can and can't do.
Pelosi has the power to invite the president to deliver his address.
It all begins with an invitation. On the evening of Jan. 3, just hours after she was elected speaker, Pelosi sent Trump a letter inviting him to address "a joint session of Congress" on Jan. 29.
A joint session convenes when the House and Senate gather for any official event, typically for the purposes of hearing an address from a foreign dignitary, world leader or, in this case, the president of the United States. The joint session takes place in the House chamber, the larger of the two legislative bodies' meeting places.
Pelosi can prevent an agreement to meet in a joint session.
A joint session isn't an ad hoc event. Both the House and Senate must formally agree to the session by adopting a "concurrent resolution."
These resolutions are typically noncontroversial, often simply advanced by voice vote or what's called unanimous consent, meaning no one objects so the measure is agreed to.
Pelosi, as the speaker, can control whether this resolution comes up for a vote at all in the House — or, if it does, she can urge her members to vote "no." If there's no joint session of Congress, Trump can't come to the House floor to deliver his address. On Wednesday, Pelosi told Trump she did not intend to allow a vote on a concurrent resolution.
Pelosi can't stop Trump from coming to the Capitol anyway on January 29.
There are restrictions on who can walk onto the House floor. The privilege is reserved for current and former members of Congress, along with congressional staffers with specific credentials allowing them access. The president is also permitted to enter the House chamber at any time.
Pelosi can use House rules to silence Trump.
Whether Trump could just get up on the dais and start delivering his State of the Union address is another question. Nothing could physically stop Trump from speaking in the House chamber, but there is a strict set of rules governing what is allowed to take place on the floor and what would be subject to condemnation.
In order for someone to deliver formal remarks in the House of Representatives, the chamber must be "in session," which is at the discretion of the speaker.
Pelosi can make it difficult for C-SPAN to broadcast Trump's floor speech.
Ordinarily, C-SPAN is the only entity allowed to record House floor proceedings. But C-SPAN only has permission to operate when the House is officially in session. If the House isn't in session and Trump comes to the floor and begins speaking, there would be no way of broadcasting the address to a national audience. The chamber lights might not even be on for Trump to see his written speech.
Unless someone broke House rules. Someone could videotape Trump and carry it live on Facebook or Twitter. When Democrats, then in the minority, took over the House floor in a 24-hour "sit-in" in 2016 to protest gun violence, Democrats filmed their own floor speeches and C-SPAN chose to air that content. The same thing could happen in this scenario.
Then Pelosi would have to decide whether to move forward with a vote to formally rebuke of Trump.
Pelosi can't keep Trump from delivering his address elsewhere.
In her letter recommending an alternative date for Trump's State of the Union speech, Pelosi had suggested Trump submit his remarks "in writing" to Congress, which was once a common practice for presidents.
The address is required by the Article II, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution, but does not stipulate it must be given in the House of Representatives. It only says that the president "shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."
Written messages were commonplace until President Woodrow Wilson personally delivered his message in 1913. Since President Franklin Roosevelt's administration, which began in 1933, such appearances have "become a contemporary tradition," according to the Congressional Research Service.
Chances are slim that Trump would miss an opportunity to appear in front of an audience, however, so he'd be more likely to take his speech elsewhere if Pelosi blocks him from coming to the House floor.
He could request the TV news networks carry his address in prime time from the White House — a request that was granted last week so he could speak to Americans about the government shutdown and border security. Trump could also hold a campaign-style rally that evening, giving networks more discretion in deciding whether to give him the air time.
Pelosi can't keep Trump from addressing the Senate.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, an ally of the president, has suggested Senate Republican leaders invite Trump to deliver the State of the Union address in their chamber.
"This is the first time in history that the House would deny the president a forum of speaking. If she is going to do that, let's hold it in the Senate," Paul told Fox News.
If Senate Republican leaders went forward with this gambit — there's no indication it's under serious consideration — they might not be able to actually make it happen. Hosting Trump for a televised State of the Union address in the Senate would likely also require adoption of a resolution, and if Democrats all vote "no," the measure would not be able to overcome a filibuster.
There are 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents who typically vote with Democrats. That means Republicans would not be able to garner the 60 votes they need to proceed.

But Mum, my mobile is glued to my hand
Last month many of us, myself included, had children undergoing the transition to a more independent stage with the move to secondary school. Immediately I was struck, as I saw them en route to their new destinations, by the mobile phone in 99% of their hands. They are now confident internet users with more varied online habits. We appreciate how positive internet use is for them and how the mobile is their essential communication tool but we must still continue the Cybersafety dialogue with them.
My daughter has read and signed her 'school acceptable ICT use agreement' but I know that despite this if we don't keep talking about real life examples of mishaps (like afterschool, by the lockers, when she put me on speakerphone whilst I unknowingly said something soppy – only to hear a roar of laughter from her friends – soooo uncool) she is more than likely going to unwittingly slip up.
I know this because our children don't really see the link between their out of school digital behaviour and their in school computer use. In their minds it's two separate worlds (I am picturing a Venn diagram with no 'intersecting' circles.)
As parents and as educators we have to keep reminding them that wherever they are, whenever they use that mobile that's 'glued' to their hand they must behave responsibly. Stop. Think. Before you press send or speakerphone…

- Amish cedar chest crafted from solid Aromatic Red Cedar, finished on all four sides. Shown above with optional "Dovetail Joints"
- Capacity: 3.3 Cubic Feet of Storage
- Comes standard with a working lock & key. Additional options may be added below.
- Price Includes Shipping!
Product Info
I purchased this chest for my wife for Christmas and had the dovetail joints added as an extra feature. The craftsmanship was outstanding as was the communication. As my wife put it "this was the best present ever".
I was concerned about getting this in time for Christmas as was informed they would ship it on a certain date....well when that date arrived I has an email telling me IT SHIPPED. It arrived in plenty of time and I have to say it was packed extremely well.
I highly recommend this company! I ordered this chest as a wedding present for my baby sister. Naturally, I wasn't willing to settle for anything less than perfect. I can sincerely say that ALL of my needs and expectations were met (even beyond my highest standards). The service was impeccable and the quality of work is exquisite. I am extremely grateful.
I bought this chest on very short notice for a combination Christmas/Engagement gift for my son and daughter-in-law to be. Joshua was very helpful and responsive. The chest arrived in plenty of time for the holidays and it is absolutely beautiful! My son and his finacee love it and have already started to keep "special" gifts and other items in it. Truly a great gift!
I talked to Josh, and explained that we needed the chest on kinda short notice. He worked it out, and we had it by noon the day before we needed it. Our daughter was very surprised, and loved it. It was special to me for her to get one, because I got one when I graduated. The chest is beautiful, and Josh was so easy to work with. You want the joints, and the plate is an added plus! I have already recommened them to other families, and I will do business with them again.
Josh Stoltzfus & Team--born to bless. Just received the cedar chest. Thank you. Quality as expected, (why I chose your company) arrived in perfect condition. As an artisan myself, when I pick up a pencil, pen, or paint brush, so you do it with wood. I recognize and honor exellence in craftsmanship.
Dad passed away last year and the two of us being of same build, I received his collection of wool sweaters. Now the sweaters have the appropriate storage to keep them safe and also reflect the witness of our love for one another.
This is a beautiful chest that I ordered to store my Dad's WW2 memorabilia. Excellent craftsmanship! For a small chest, it is surprisingly roomy. I ordered it with dovetail joints and the interior shelf box. Everything I expected it to be and more!

When I have Moira try things on for size. She wore these for at least a half an hour, carefully holding them up, until she spilled water on them and let me take them off. Any suggestions that I could fix them for her so they would stay up on their own were met with resounding nos.

They are all finished and in the dryer now, waiting for summer.
It seems however, that my plans for kids clothing week may be ruined as I have a horrible sore throat/sneeze/achy/nauseous thing going on. I felt pretty bad when Walker took me out for my birthday, but I powered through. And today, I'm dead on my feet. Moira and I managed to make it through the day despite the 5:30am wake up call from her. I decided the only way to make it through was to say 'yes' as often as possible to her requests. Even with me trying there was an awful lot of no and later, but there was also singing and playing and cuddling and reading.
There were also a lot of tears from her, especially after 9:30 when she started getting really tired. I managed to keep her awake until about 12:30, but she was not happy. She stayed asleep for over an hour and a half before she woke up though, so I got a little bit of a nap.
Hopefully tomorrow I will fell better. There is a toddler story time series starting at our local library tomorrow. It is only 5 weeks long, and I know she'd love to go. It's been a long time since we went to story time. It seems unlikely that we will be able to make it though.

Acquisition of MGM by Sony completed
MUMBAI: MGM has announced that a consortium comprising Sony America, Providence Equity Partners, Texas Pacific Group, Comcast and DLJ Merchant Banking Partners has completed its acquisition of the company.
This transaction establishes MGM as one of the world's largest privately-held, independent motion picture, TV and home video companies, says a company release.
Last year, Sony scored with its $5 billion-bid for acquiring MGM. MGM and the consortium had announced in September 2004 that they had an agreement related to this acquisition. The agreement was adopted by MGM shareholders in December 2004. According to the agreement, stockholders of MGM will receive $12 in cash, without interest, for each MGM share held.
MGM president Dan Taylor said, "Today we begin an exciting chapter in the life of MGM. With our strong financial and strategic partners, we look forward to building on MGM's legacy and capitalising on emerging technologies and markets to provide consumers more opportunities to enjoy the world's largest modern library of films and TV programming."
MGM has also announced several key senior management appointments. Charles Cohen will serve as executive VP. Cohen had been executive VP of finance and corporate development at MGM since May 1997. Jim Packer will be executive VP television distribution. Packer had been executive VP, television distribution - North America since 2001.
MGM expects to benefit from operating agreements with Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE). SPE will assume certain distribution responsibilities for MGM's library of 4,000 films and 10,400 TV episodes through SPE's global distribution network, which currently distributes SPE's library of 3,500 films and 35,000 TV episodes.
MGM also expects to co-finance new films with SPE and co-produce some of these new projects. These films will be distributed and marketed by SPE. MGM will also develop new original TV programmes and is currently completing production on the ninth season of Stargate SG-1 and the second season of Stargate Atlantis, which will both premiere this summer. Sony Pictures Television will assume production management for certain MGM TV content.
In addition to the operating agreements with SPE, MGM also expects to benefit from distribution agreements with Comcast in the US. MGM content will be available on Comcast's video on demand platform and on new cable channels operated by Comcast and jointly owned by Comcast, SPE and the members of the consortium.
As far as theatrical releases are concerned The Amityville Horror releases on 15 April. Into the Blue, Romance and Cigarettes, The Woods, The Pink Panther and Art School Confidential will come out later this year.

Norm GuthartzSee other caravan reviews written by Norm Guthartz
Practical Caravan reviews the Lunar Clubman Saros Edition SE that now appeals more than ever, with an updated interior and a long list of aspirational kit
During the past 40 years, Lunar's Clubman range has established a loyal following among caravanners who want luxury, good kit levels and space without tipping the weight scales alarmingly. Practical Caravan's reviewers say that this four-berth may appeal to couples who want luxurious accommodation and anticipate occasional visitors staying over.
Those customers might be intrigued by a limited-edition Clubman that was launched at the NEC show in February to mark the range's 40th anniversary on the UK market. The new Saros shares the same profile given to the Clubmans in 2012, but smart decals incorporating the company's crest and a new treatment for the rear bumper separate it from the rest.
Fresh colours, a high-gloss locker finish and contemporary soft furnishings replace the more traditional Clubman interior, and the new panoramic rooflight running lengthways over the lounge will appeal to those who like to stargaze while staying cosy inside the caravan.
Pitching and setting up
Front and back panels are moulded ABS, with a chrome bezel insert for the rear light clusters and number plate, while side panels are one-piece aluminium sporting smart decals. All the service points are fitted on the Saros's offside, including the battery box. A services light will help with any nighttime changeovers.
On the nearside is a wet locker and exterior access to the space under the fixed bed, plus a mains socket and a barbecue point. The grabhandles are illuminated by LED lights and access to the heavy-duty corner steadies is good.
All locker doors have a high-gloss cream finish with neat chrome handles and a decorative strip, making it feel very contemporary. A green plastic trim just below the front lockers houses the radio/CD player.
The space is lit at night by LED corner lights, four corner spots, lighting above the lockers and around the rooflight, which can be dimmed via a digital control panel over the entrance door.
The parallel sofas are covered in a new fabric – Aqua Clean Plush – which can be wiped clean. This, say Practical Caravan's testers, makes the soft furnishings practical as well as comfortable, plus there are additional scatter cushions.
There's a centre chest of drawers with slide-out occasional table, and for main meal times a free-standing table is also supplied. A mains socket is by the offside front corner window and an alarm sensor is below the chest of drawers.
Access flaps below the front seat bases allow easy access to the bed box storage space. The Alde wet central heating system obviates the need for a blown-air unit, which would take up cupboard space.
The sink has a detachable drainer and a laminated cover to make the most of available worktop, which can be further extended with a lift-up flap. The kitchen is well-equipped with a Dometic fridge/freezer, a separate oven and grill and a four-burner dual-fuel hob.
The microwave is in the dresser opposite, at a sensible height below the eye-level cupboards. Here, too, is more worktop and storage, plus a mains socket and a TV point. Surprisingly, only one mains socket is fitted in the kitchen area.
A large cupboard beneath the worktop conceals the cutlery drawer, plus two slide-out metal baskets for groceries that can be stored at ambient temperatures.
The washroom has a mini Heki and, over the toilet, an opaque window giving both good natural light and ventilation. Lunar uses the Dometic ceramic-lined, electric-flush toilet, rather than the usual Thetford design found in many tourers.
A smart chrome radiator is ideal for drying towels, courtesy of the Alde heating system. The basin on the back wall has a cupboard below and a large mirror above. The cupboard and a small shelf fitted above the window are the only storage in this area.
The wardrobe is in the bedroom and has three drawers below the hanging space. The wardrobe door, drawer and locker fronts all have the same high-gloss cream finish, for a unified look throughout the interior.
As in the lounge, there is LED lighting above the roof lockers and a rooflight helps illuminate the area by day.
The front double bed is made up in the usual way with slats pulled from the centre chest. Sofa cushions are assembled to form a double bed measuring a respectable 2.11m x 1.67m. The sofas are too short to be used as twin beds by anyone other than young grandchildren.
There's space, too, beneath the aluminium-framed seats. This can be accessed either by lifting the lids or via flaps at the front of the seat boxes. The offside seat storage area is slightly compromised by the van's equipment.
Deep roof lockers in the lounge and bedroom offer excellent storage. The lockers in the front have removable shelving, offering more versatile stowage.
Practical Caravan's expert testers thought that hanging space in the wardrobe is good and the three drawers are useful for smalls and T-shirts. A cupboard below is ideal for shoe storage. There's also a vanity shelf adjacent to the wardrobe with a mirror above.
Plenty of eye-level cupboards, some with racking, above the kitchen and dresser will accommodate crockery and groceries, and the drinks cabinet is a nice touch. The drawer in the dresser will serve as a home for those things that tend to go missing.
Only the washroom lacks a decent amount of storage space, with a shallow cupboard beneath the handbasin.

The Lunar Clubman Saros Edition SE is a fresh take on a 40-year-old stalwart in the Lunar line-up. Its bright, modern interior is practical as well as comfortable. All the amenities that we are accustomed to in the Clubman range have been given a contemporary twist with new upholstery, new wall claddings and a great alternative to the sunroof idea, which doesn't reduce roof locker storage. Perhaps this model heralds a new design style for future Clubmans.
- Completely redesigned decor creates a contemporary ambience
- Excellent levels of lighting and a big variety of options
- Practical and well-equipped kitchen
- Spacious washroom with heated towel rail and separate shower
- Shortage of washroom storage
- Central rooflight could have been wider

Over 15 years ago, in 1993, the S&P Depositary Receipts (SPY) went up against a who's who of fund heavyweights; Fidelity Magellan, Legg Mason Partners Fundamental Value, MFS Growth Stock, Oppenheimer Equity, Putnam Investors, T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth and 57 others. It outperformed them all.
The S&P 500 SPDRs currently has a 15-year average annual return of 6.79 percent. Out of 3,260 mutual funds that have been around for 15 years or more, SPY outperformed 2,626. This places the SPY in the top performing 20 percent of funds for the last 15 years. What's SPY's secret? Consistency, diversification and low fees.
What you see is what you get. SPY will always contain the 500 stocks of the S&P 500. You don't have to wait for an outdated quarterly report before knowing what you own. You don't have to worry about your investment manager or investment strategy changing on you. And you don't have to worry about paying celebrity fund managers that tend to underperform their benchmark anyway. Why pay "Mercedes money if you don't get Mercedes performance?"
The S&P Depositary Receipts are the oldest but not the only broad market index ETFs. The Dow Jones Diamonds (DIA) tracks the Dow Jones which zeros in on only 30 blue chip companies. Other broader measures of domestic stocks offer more complete exposure. These benchmarks include the DJ Wilshire 5000 (TMW), the MSCI US Broad Market Index (VTI) and the Russell 3000 (IWV).
If you are a market timer, the above ETFs may not be your number one choice. If on the other hand you are a serious long-term investor there is no need to look further. Any of these fine ETFs will provide you broad, consistent market exposure at rock bottom prices. Since the 2008 tax-year is almost over, you should probably know that SPY performance ranking looks even better when considering the after-tax performance.

Emergency Care Benchmarking 2016 – Findings published/
The NHS Benchmarking Network is pleased to present the findings from the fifth phase of Network's national benchmarking project for Emergency Care services.
Emergency care is a complex service with many facets across the NHS. The emergency care system is under increasing pressure, with the need to optimise the urgent and emergency care system to work as safely, efficiently and effectively as possible. This project focuses on the provider perspective and reviews the provision of Accident and Emergency services (Type 1&2) as well as alternative community based services such as Walk In Centres, Urgent Care Centres and Minor Injuries Units (Type 3).
Although the sums of money invested in emergency care are highly material, there is limited national benchmarking information available on the service beyond profiling of access arrangements, waiting times, and demand levels. The Network project aims to supplement available national metrics with relevant data on service models, infrastructure, capacity, demand, workforce, finance and service quality.
58 Trusts and Health Boards (HBs) participated in this iteration, covering 60 Type 1&2 centres and 50 Type 3 departments. An Urgent Care report analysing the system from a commissioner perspective, which has received contributions from 61 commissioners, is also available to download on the NHS Benchmarking Network's website.
As well as a national report, good practice compendium, and online toolkit, available to all Network members, this year bespoke reports have been produced for all participants.
Highlights from 2015/16
- Results confirm ongoing demand pressure impacting Type 1 A&E services. Type 1 and 2 ED services have seen a 3% growth in attendances in the last 12 months.
- Departments are finding it increasingly difficult to meet the four-hour waiting target. In 2015/16, 13.6% of patients waited four hours or more in ED, compared with 10.3% in 2015.
- Average length of attendance has increased year on year, from 138 minutes in 2012 to 188 minutes in 2016.
- The amount of Consultant time deployed within ED has increased from 91 hours in 2015 to 98 hours this year.
- Staffing levels have improved in the last year, although additional use of bank and agency staff has been a notable element of this increased provision.
- The use of Type 3 services remains hugely variable across the NHS. Access to these services remains rapid, although utilisation and provision is mixed. These services continue to be nurse led and offer a broad range of ambulatory services.
Emergency care continues to be a priority area for members and the emergency care project will take place once more in 2017. The NHS Benchmarking Network would like to hear your views on the content of the 2017 benchmarking project.
Comments and suggestions for the project's process, content and outputs can be sent to:

MOHAN Foundation has formed a "Support Group" for Kidney Failure patients. This support group is open to kidney failure patients, kidney transplant patients, kidney donors, relatives of the patients or any individual who wishes to help kidney failure or transplant patients. The support group has conducted its meetings in Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai.
1. Acceptance: When a patient is diagnosed to have kidney failure, it is usually out of the blue and it comes as a shock to both the patients and their relatives. The support group will help out these patients to cope with the stress and give them a better understanding of the problem. Talking to patient who have gone through similar experience and agony is likely to help the patients in accepting the condition and to plan out the future course of action.
2. Time Factor: Doctors and nurses many a times are too busy to indulge in a detailed discussion with the patient about their conditions. When a patient for the first time hears about kidney failure they go numb with disbelief and go through a phase of denial. After hearing this devastating diagnosis they may hardly hear what the doctor has to say further. The support Group can help such patients by readily offering advice and solace.
3. Tall Claims & Quackery: Many newly diagnosed patients in our country land up with quacks making tall claims and most of the time loose out both financially and physically. They return to the practitioners in a worse condition after a few months. A support group would help in quelling the belief in these quacks and will be able to give the patients a more realistic view of their condition.
4. Finance: Kidney Failure cripples many patients financially. There are a few charitable and government funds available for such patients. The support group can help in guiding the patients to these institutions and help them in applying for these funds.
1. Planning for Surgery: A patient going for kidney transplant surgery needs some guidelines about hospital stay and what to expect. Support group can help in this planning.
2. Education on how to live with a Transplanted Kidney: A patient who has had kidney transplant needs to be adequately educated to keep a functioning graft. They have to take their drugs religiously. Support group can help in their education by distributing literature and by talking to the patients.
3. Drug education: Education of transplant patients is essential as many of these drugs cause side-effects. Support group can help in this education process.
4. Maintenance therapy: Drugs to prevent rejection of the graft for kidney transplant patients are expensive. Many patients stop their drugs abruptly and land up with renal failure. Patients can be counselled by the doctors and certain drugs like Cyclosporine (Neoral) can be stopped after a certain time. Support group can help in advising the patient to go back to their doctors and explain to them about their financial problem so that the doctor could change the medication.
1. Inadequate education: Many a donor has gone through social, emotional or family pressures to donate their organs. Very seldom has a donor regretted this donation if it is done to a loved one and done voluntarily. However there are many unrelated kidney donors. Many times these patients do not understand or not told about the risk of surgery however minimum it may be. The support group can help in their education.
2. Regular health check ups:Yearly check up is essential for kidney donors. A support group can help in creating awareness among the donors.
Seeing the suffering of a loved one is an agonising experience. Many a times one want to help but does not know how to contribute or do their bit. Then again there is an anxiety that if one family member has the disease would others also suffer the same fate. If dialysis is advised then one of the relatives has to constantly accompany the patient to the hospital. In many instances the full family life of a household can revolve around the suffering patient. Sometimes as much counselling of the relatives is necessary as the patients themselves. The support group will help the relatives to come to terms with the condition of their relatives.
Kidney failure patients need to take a lesson from those with HIV-AIDS and become activists if they wish that issues related to organ donation and transplantation be taken seriously by both the government and the public in India. Today the Indian transplant programme has no voice or locus standi in our country. A concerted effort is required. The passage of Transplantation of Human Organ Act by the Indian Government was meant to help the organ failure patients. In western countries annually over 50,000 transplants are done and 95% of the organs come from patients who are �Brain dead� or Cadavers. Live related kidney donation only forms a small part of the programme. In India almost three years have elapsed and we have barely managed to do just over 100 cadaver organ transplants. This also is only due to individual pursuits by a few dedicated doctors. The government has done nothing to spread the awareness of solid organ donation (like kidneys, heart, liver and pancreas). As a cohesive support group your voice of togetherness to alleviate the suffering of kidney failure patient is more likely to be heard both by the society and the Indian Government.
The support group will meet every month. During such meetings an interaction between members will be encouraged. Patients will be allowed to share their experiences and voice their insecurities and their problems. A small panel of invited people like doctors, psychiatrists, nurses and dietitians will try and help out by providing possible solutions.
A nominal yearly subscription will be charged to take care of administrative costs. Correspondence membership will also be open for people who are not ble to access the support group in person. Once in five years Membership Fee - Rs.500/- (Rupees Five Hundred only)
Literature on various aspects to help the Kidney Failure patients will be posted to all the members regularly. The Foundation currently has useful published literature on Kidney Transplantation in English, Tamil and Hindi for patients. Members will also receive a copy of the quarterly �Indian Transplant Newsletter�. The members will receive all material free of cost.

Why There Must Never Be a Speech and Assembly Tax
A historic level of activism and protest has been seen in our nation's streets and public parks over the past two years. These protests reflect the profound importance of our constitutional right to peaceful assembly: People come together, voice their dissent, and organize for change. The right to join with neighbors in protest is core to the First Amendment and critical to a healthy and vibrant democracy.
On Jan. 20, 2018, thousands of people gathered on Cambridge Common in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for the second Women's March. As in hundreds of other cities around the world, the Cambridge event was organized in protest of the Trump administration's attacks on the civil rights of women and other marginalized people. The event was peaceful, with a light police presence.
And yet, Cambridge event organizers were billed for thousands of dollars for police details and emergency medical services. They were also told to expect additional invoices for police from neighboring cities and towns and the local transit system.
Despite successfully completing the permitting process and paying permit application fees before the event, organizers were told less than two weeks before the event that they could be additionally charged for public safety services. That discussion happened after the organizers mentioned to police that there could be counter-protesters present at the event.
Charging rally organizers for public safety services as a condition for granting permits deters political participation — plain and simple. Most event organizers would think twice about coordinating a protest if they thought they might owe $4,000, like the Cambridge Women's March organizers ultimately owed. In fact, the Cambridge organizers flagged the bills to the ACLU for that very reason. They feared the impact of the city's practices on the exercise of free speech of all who seek permits for the Cambridge Common and other public parks.
The First Amendment and the free speech guarantee of the Massachusetts Constitution exist to prevent precisely this sort of chilling effect.
As the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Forsyth County, Georgia v. The Nationalist Movement in 1992, governmental charges for basic public safety services that are based on the anticipated reaction to expressive events in public parks are inconsistent with the First Amendment — and in this particular case, the free speech and assembly provisions of the Massachusetts Constitution. Since public safety services benefit not just event organizers, but also passersby or counter-protesters, charges for their cost are not a lawful fee but rather an unlawful tax on speech and assembly under Massachusetts law.
That is why the ACLU of Massachusetts recently filed a lawsuit against the city of Cambridge, challenging its policy and the Women's March charges. At a time when the federal government is inciting division and seeking to chill free speech, the voices of rally organizers and participants should be encouraged and applauded — not taxed.
From the Women's March to recent Families Belong Together rallies to the Occupy movement, peaceful assembly in public parks has been a proud part of this country's history and constitutional tradition. That's why we're fighting to say: Taxes on free speech and assembly is about as un-American as you can get.
Dr. Timothy Leary
That's Taxachusetts for you.

How is it "taxachusetts" when the rally organizers are the ones being charged? The alternative would be that the taxpayer foot the bill for the police presence. And nobody should be discouraged from exercising any speech for want of money; paying via taxes for basic law enforcement at a rally I don't support is a small price to ensure a society that guarantees free speech anywhere at any time.
- July 16, 2018
Kevin Fields
Yes, taxpayers should be footing the bill. the police forces there to serve the entire public, including the public that is protesting. You don't levy additional taxes on a group of people in exchange for their right to protest.

Dr. Timothy Leary
Are you from Boston Mr. Anonymous? Because if you are, you can take your response and stick it up your Back Bay.

This case is a great example of the difference between an American "constitutional rule of law" model of government versus a foreign style "authoritarian" model. In the American style model, presidents are legally restrained by the Judicial Branch courts, so if our system were working properly the costs would have been charged to Trump himself (for violating the law). In a foreign style authoritarian model, the president is above the law and the police would send the bills to the protesters. Chronology is important here, Trump violated the court ruling on constitutional rights, the protesters were on the right side of the law - why should they pay a dime since Trump instigated the protest? If Trump had followed the "constitutional rule of law" there would never had been a protest requiring police and government services.
- reply
- July 16, 2018
In a foreign authoritarian model, you wouldn't be able to hold a protest, period. And if you tried, you wouldn't be sent a bill, but sent to jail, or worse.
- July 17, 2018
Scott C
Trump is the one these protests are about. He's the one who should get the bill!
- reply
- July 16, 2018
Good article, but ending with a non-specific assertion of federal efforts to chill free speech is bad form. There is no "at a time when..." regarding free speech. It should be free for all, anytime, anywhere. Applies to nazis and skinheads equally to pascifists and feminists.
ACLU needs to defend free speech as an absolute and abandon their post-Charlottesville policy of conditional support of free speech.
- reply
- July 16, 2018
Bennett Wilson
Why did you pay this anonymously? This is exactly the sort of freedom to founders righteously sought. And this is what the ACLU has been fighting for for a hundred years to defend. I can only pray that the ACLU and the United States uphold that legacy.
- July 17, 2018
So who is to foot the bill for these protests if it isn't the organizers themselves? The taxpayers ithats who! Why should anyone pay for a protest especially when they agree with the cause? Making organizations pay for their protests isn't restricting free speech, they still get to protest but they have to pay the city for all the costs involved and that's only fair. The citizens of that community didn't ask for these people to protest. This is being done by people who have decided to raise Cain for issues that not everyone agrees with.

As Sky Atlantic subscribers will perhaps have already spotted, the brilliant In Treatment was back in session over the weekend. Now in its third series, it follows the working week of Dr Paul Weston – played superbly by Gabriel Byrne – as he welcomes a regular roster of patients whilst also taking to the therapist's couch himself.
But In Treatment isn't alone. In fact the schedules are filled with shrinks – perhaps no surprise when you consider the average TV character has to contend with everything from extra marital affairs and murders to alien invasion and inheriting super powers.
But who are tellyland's most memorable mental health practitioners? Join us on the couch as we pluck the six best shrinks from the small screen's troubled psyche. Have we missed your favourite therapist? Let us know in the comments section below.
Dr Jennifer Melfi – The Sopranos (1999 – 2007)
On a very basic level, psychiatrist to the Don Dr Jennifer Melfi began merely a plot device But she was also at the centre of everything that made HBO's mob masterpiece so memorable. Her struggle to come to terms with Tony Soprano was our struggle. Like us she was disgusted by what she knew of his day job, and yet still fascinated by it. She helped unravel Tony's mind for the viewerand humanised a monster, ushering in an age of complicated, morally ambiguous protagonists.
Dr Tobias Funke – Arrested Development
He may have lost his licence after trying to give CPR to a man who wasn't having a heart attack. But noggin noodler Funke was the first person to qualify as both an analyst and therapist with hilarious job title consequences.
Dr Niles Crane – Frasier (1993–2004)
The soothing voice of Seattle's airwaves may, to paraphrase Niles, have already been eminent when Frasier's younger brother was merely imminent. But the radio star exists on the fast-food end of the therapy scale, providing drive-thru fixes for listeners' airtime ailments, while Niles runs a highly successful practice and serves on the board of the American Psychiatric Association. Like his brother and so many other small screen therapists, Niles has more hang-ups than a bad telemarketer, which only goes to stoke the comedic fires of one of Frasier's funniest characters.
Dr Sidney Freedman – M*A*S*H (1972–1983)
The field surgeons of the 4,077th sutured the wounds of the soldiers ripped apart by shrapnel, shells and bullets while military psychologist Freedman tended to the mental scars suffered by those serving on the frontline. Freedman was something of a bit part character, but he was a crucial component in some of starkest scenes where he helped peel back the layers of our favourite characters and shine a spotlight on the psychological horrors of war.
Dr Paul Weston – In Treatment (2008–2010)
Based on the equally compelling Israeli series BeTipul, In Treatment is one of the smartest US shows of recent years. A great deal of weight is put on the shoulders of Gabriel Byrne who revels in his demanding role. He's the most human of characters, flawed, fascinating and forever trying to do right by those who visit his couch.
Warren's therapist – This Life (1996–1997)
This Life's often heard but never seen shrink was one of the first times a therapist had been used as a plot device on UK screens, and another way in which Amy Jenkins's twentysomething drama broke new ground for British broadcasting.
Honourable mentions
Deanna Troi – Star Trek The Next Generation
Perhaps the biggest drip amid a particularly leaky cabal of characters; psionic ship's counsellor Troi could often be found wandering around the bridge of the Enterprise wearing nothing but a confused expression and a skin-tight cat suit.
Dr Marvin Monroe – The Simpsons
Rumours of his demise may have been greatly exaggerated, but the man who tried, and failed to fix TV's most dysfunctional of families doesn't quite make the cut on our countdown of couch surfers.

Frederick, Colo., was incorporated in 1907 and began as a mining town. Today, this Denver metro area community has blossomed into a hub of commerce, industry and education, while still managing to retain a close-knit atmosphere that's sure to appeal to people considering homes for rent in the area.
Although Frederick has flourished since being established as a mining town more than a century ago, the locals haven't forgotten their mining heritage, as evidenced by the Miner's Memorial Museum in the Old Frederick Town Hall building and the annual Miners Day celebration, which features a parade, contests, fireworks and live music. For nature enthusiasts, Bulrush Wetland Park is the place to go, with its 47 acres of parkland, outdoor classroom and bird-watching opportunities, while golfers can try their luck at the Bella Rosa Golf Course.

some space movie
Have you heard that there is a movie called Star Trek that will be coming out soon? It is apparently based on a 60's TV show. Ok, I kid. Unless you grew up in a cave and currently do not own a computer/television (in which case you will most likely not be reading this) then you know full well what I'm talking about. This is a cover for the UK's May Esquire Magazine. I really like this design my Noma Bar.
