Spin dynamics in magnetic films patterned into dots and wires
- An experimental study of spin wave quantization in arrays of micron size magnetic Ni80Fe20 islands (dots and wires) by means of Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy is reported. Dipolar-dominated spin wave modes laterally quantized in a single island with quantized wavevector values determined by the size of the island are studied. In the case of wires the frequencies of the modes and the transferred wavevector interval, where each mode is observed, are calculated. The results of the calculations are in a good agreement with the experimental data. In the case of circular dots the frequencies of the lowest observed modes decrease with increasing distance between the dots, thus indicating an essential dynamic magnetic dipole interaction between the dots with small interdot distances.

A busy, busy day after a busy, busy weekend. I'm surprised I've read any comics but somehow I managed it. I've been reading Boom! Studios first Planet of the Apes series and the old Nightbreed comics from the 90's but more importantly I've been reading some new comics for New Comic Book Day.
This week has seen the release of several comics that I was looking forward to but didn't quite satisfy as hoped. They just missed the mark.
Anthology comics are a good thing and there aren't enough of them. Each month a different story with different protagonists; a one shot, done and dusted narrative. Unfortunately, in all-most all anthologies, there is at least one story that isn't as good, or doesn't grab you as much as the others. And Ice Cream Man #3 is like that for me. The artwork is as impressive as previous issues but the story just doesn't seem to go anywhere. With each page there is the promise of something exciting but the promise is never fulfilled. The story turns out to be nothing more than a hallucinogenic nightmare inspired by dodgy ice cream, at least that's all it appeared to be. There was none of the emotional drama or uncomfortable horror from the first two stories.
With that said, the beauty of anthologies is that next month is a new story, a new start.
Ice Cream Man #3 published by Image Comics. Written by W Maxwell Prince and art by Martin Morazzo.
Another title that wasn't as I expected this month was The Spider King #2. Published by IDW Publishing, The Spider King's mix of alien invasion and Viking adventure became more of a comedy in this second issue. The alien aspect is played for laughs on pretty much each level and feels in contrast to the tone of the first issue. I was expecting sword and shield version of Turf but I got a historical Mars Attacks. This is still a worthwhile read if this is the type of comic that you like but it does seem at odds with the set up last month. Maybe I need to revisit it to see if I misread it.
The Spider King #2 published by IDW, written by Josh Vann and illustrated by Simone D'Armini. Colours by Adrian Bloch
Dissonance #2 continues in the same vain as the first issue. A compelling narrative with magnificent settings and character design. An enjoyable read and I have nothing else to say about it at the moment.
What do I think about the new title form Boom! Studios, Lucy Dreaming? Why not check out my review on comiconverse.com (here) as I might just tell you.
And while you're there, check out the review for 30 Days of Night #4. This is turning into an outstanding comic. If Steve Niles pulls it all together at the end it will be good enough to rival the original; definitely better than some of the sequels in recent years. One of the most noteworthy aspects of the comic is Brad Simpson's colours. They make the comic by creating the atmosphere and characterising the cast. If you read this in digital, minimise it so that you can see multiple pages in one go and you'll see how wonderful the colouring is. With such a small view you lose all of the detail from the art and every bit of speech but you can still follow the action just by Simpson's colours. Check out my review here where I go on about the colouring some more.
30 Days of Night #1 published by IDW, written by Steve Niles, art by Piotr Kowalski and colours by Brad Simpson.
Last week, I completely forgot to mention Betrothed from Aftershock comics. It was a monumental error as the comic is shocking in all of the right ways and impressed me on a number of levels. I tried to make up for it by writing a little something about it (here) and you might still be able to get a copy from a shop. This week I will not miss out the release of Babyteeth #9. Personally I am waiting for the trade collection on this but if you are reading it monthly I'm sure you won't want to miss it. The series has been a hit so far and I can't wait for the 2nd trade. Pick up #9 to see what it's like and I'm sure you'll want to catch up with the rest. Written by Donny Cates and illustrated by Garry Brown.
My final mention for this week is Punks Not Dead #2. This is a wild, exotic comic brim full of supernatural goings on and teenage angst. The central story stays steady, eking out the dilemmas of haunting a teenager in a boring town however it is in the side story, with the UK's answer to the X-Files, where the humour and intrigue are. This is a well-paced, cheeky and often outlandish comic; worthy of the Punk Rock association.
Punks Not Dead #2 is part of IWD's Black Crown imprint and is written by David Barnett and illustrated by Martin Simmonds.
That is it for this week, apart from the slideshow below obviously.

Suffolk Park Skatepark 2 days ago
Was here yesterday. the layout was cool. its pretty fast actually but the concrete doesn't inspire confidence. Its cracked all over the place and there are lips in the concrete you gotta make sure you don't get wheels stuck in. If it was resurfaced with smooth concrete and the lips and broken bits got fixed it would be alot of fun. At the moment it would be great on a scooter though.

Oh but Gympie does have a better park now... Not even on skateboard.com.au yet. And it is oh sooo good.

I hate this skatepark. None of the Northern Virginia skateparks are creative or innovative, nor do they factor in the variances of age and skill level. Waste of time, effort and money.

I got hold of a local 'Guide Book & Directory' published by the 'Worcester Park & District Chamber Of Trade' back in November 1957.
I shall share with you some its many gems in due course, but it started me thinking about the future of Worcester Park's shops and what is being done to promote local traders in the face of ever-growing competition from the big shopping centres, the all-conquering supermarkets and so forth.
The Worcester Park & District Chamber of Trade was, I assumed, a defunct organisation - until I spotted in the window of Nationwide on Central Road a window sticker for the very same organisation. So what is it up to these days? Well, very little on the surface of things - a cursory web search reveals a mention of it in a Sutton Council list of local organisations in March 2007, but nothing else.
Then there is the Worcester Park Traders' Association. I only know that they exist because of the Christmas fair that appears in Central Road for one evening a year (passing by a good many Worcester Park residents thanks to scant local publicity for it). Aside from that, nothing - and again a web search for their activities proves fruitless (except for the Chairman appearing in a Surrey Comet news article about the Low Emissions Zone - an article inspired by a posting on this blog).
It would, therefore, appear, that there are two organisations in existence to act as a voice for Worcester Park traders.
So why are these voices never heard?
Blogging about Worcester Park has certainly opened my eyes to the variety of local independent shops that give Central Road its character and appeal, and without in any way being on an 'only shop locally' mission, I do now make a conscious effort to support the local traders every now and then, instead of enslaving myself to the corporate giants.
Besides, when there is a perfectly decent local butcher and greengrocer within yards of the entrance to Waitrose, a one minute walk to support your local independent traders isn't asking a huge amount.
Without wishing to blow my blogging trumpet too loudly, I know of a number of local establishments who have had people visit them and spend their hard-earned cash directly as a result of reading what myself or my commenters have written about them on this very blog.
If The Worcester Park Blog (with a reach of a few thousand people every month) can play a small role in drumming up support for local businesses, then imagine what a concerted and coordinated publicity effort from our silent friends at The Worcester Park Chamber Of Trade and The Worcester Park Traders' Association could do.
I have no doubt that they both do very valid work behind the scenes to represent the interests of local traders. Yet equally I have no doubt that if they were to stand up and shout loudly and proudly about the quality and variety of local businesses in Worcester Park and do something to promote the idea of shopping locally then this would give a much-needed boost to many of our local traders. It is, after all, these traders that are the lifeblood of Worcester Park.
I will continue to do what I can, in my own small way, to fly the flag for local traders in Worcester Park.
If only others would join me.
(P.S. I was going to e-mail both these organisations to give them their 'right to reply' to this blog piece in advance, but I couldn't find any contact details or web presence for them. Which really does prove my point.)

Picking The Perfect Pup
Buying a puppy is a wonderful experience that can bring joy and happiness into anyone's life. There are countless advantages of having a dog. For instance, simply petting your dog offers sensory stress relief and a sense of companionship. Going out and playing with your dog is also known to lessen the symptoms of depression, panic, and anxiety. Likewise, according to Web MD, research has shown that owning a pet can even lead to lowered blood pressure in the owner. What's more, dogs and puppies encourage stable daily routines, plenty of exercise, and endless laughter, boosting your immune system and over all sense of well being.
For first time dog owners there are a lot of big decisions and a lot to look for when buying a puppy. Questions such as where to buy puppies, how to buy a puppy, or which breed is ideal
How Your Vet Business Can Benefit From SEO
In the current Google Age a website for your business is essential, and this is true for almost any business including veterinary websites. An important part of veterinary marketing is taking advantage of the internet because your website serves as the "face" of your business. Chances are the first impression that a potential customer or client will get of your business is what they see on your website. This means that you need to have a quality website, but it also means that people need to actually find it.
One of the essential veterinary marketing secrets is to use search engine optimization. More than half of Americans use search engines when looking for a local product or service, and 42% of those that do click the t
Pets, Paws and Patients How To Reach Your Target Audience
As a veterinary hospital, you provide an invaluable service not only to people, but more importantly to their pets, by addressing their medical needs and even saving their lives. You have a pristine facility staffed by attentive, compassionate employees, yet your lobby is not as full as you'd like it to be. How do you go about marketing your services and attracting more clients?
It may be time to consider a company that specializes in veterinary marketing and creating a professional website for you and clients. Does a vet need a website? Absolutely. Nowadays, a potential client's first impression of your practice comes from a visit to your website. Without a website, you may be missing out. According to Pew Internet, 58% of people have researched a product or service online. In fact, 80% of peo

Hamilton Broadway Limited pocket watch
The Hamilton Broadway Limited pocket watch was the first pocket watch produced by the Hamilton Pocket Watch Co.
The Broadway Limited was first produced in 1893 and quickly gained popularity among employees of the US railroads due to its high level of timekeeping accuracy.
By 1923, just over half of Hamilton's pocket watch production comprised Railroad Grade watches, consisting of 17 jewels and 42-hour mainsprings.
The American Expeditionary Forces also embraced the timepiece, and adopted it as their official watch.
The watch was also employed by Admiral Byrd on his polar expeditions, as well as Auguste Picard on his pioneering balloon ascents in the 1930s.
The earliest examples can be extremely popular with collectors and change hands for four figures.

My favorite thing about the end of the year, or at least one of them, is going to holiday parties. Holiday parties are a great excuse for getting fancied up in cocktail dresses and wearing as many sparkles and sequins as your heart desires. One of the tough things about holiday parties are the fact that lots of cocktail dresses are likely to make you freeze your fancied up booty off with their minimal fabric. So what's a girl to do when she wants to rock that sexy strapless LBD but still keep warm? Put a turtleneck under that dress! Trust me, it's the cutest thing you never would have thought to try…but there are some rules to pulling it off and making it look chic.
How to Wear a Turtle Neck with a Cocktail Dress
Rule #1: Your LBD (or jumpsuit if that's more your style) need to be tailored and fit properly. There needs to be structure to the piece. This is not the time for your shift dresses. We're talking body hugging or at the very least, it needs to have a defined waist. This criss-cross tube dress is perfect because it's structured enough to look sleek, sturdy enough to stay put so you're not fussing with it all night, and got enough of it's own style that it's a unique piece you can wear over and over again.
Rule #2: Your turtleneck needs to be in a complimentary color. It doesn't have to be the same color but you don't want it to be so much of a contrast that it looks like you got dressed in the dark. Think neutral & universally complimentary colors: Black, White, Gray, Nude and because it's winter, Burgundy. The turtleneck should also be fitted to maintain a sleek look, nothing would ruin this look more than a saggy elbow after an hour in your long sleeve top. This turtleneck is definitely the one you want to go with.
Rule #3: Be prepared to dress it up with accessories. A statement necklace & bracelet along with some great booties or heels really take this outfit to that next level. The statement necklace on top of the turtleneck works perfectly to pull together the whole look and make sure everything comes off as intentional rather than "I'm just trying to stay warm."

This is one of those moments when the old adage, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade," applies.
It's easy to find fault with the Bush Administration's many failures. But anger at the many messes they have created won't bring needed change. Finding a way forward is a responsibility we all share.
Let me explain.
I've long criticized this administration's foreign policy, arguing that its trademarks have been that:
- they neglect a problem when they might have taken action to solve it;
- they let ideology trump reality when they have become engaged; and
- they "spin" when they have failed, or try to change the subject by moving on to another front.
We are seeing all of these trademarks and their consequences playing out this week in the crises in Israel-Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Pakistan.
Responding to so many crises at once can be a trying affair for even the most skilled of U.S. Administrations. And, given past performance, it is right to be concerned. But, at least in one of these crisis areas, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Bush Administration appears to be promoting a diplomatic initiative. Given seven years of neglect and/or blindness to Palestinian realities, and the lateness of the hour, chances for success may be slim. I'm not optimistic, but still want to be supportive of the effort.
I say this because the consequences of failure can only compound the devastation and trauma experienced by so many innocents.
It was the hubris of ideologues that brought on these crises. Neglect of diplomacy, a victor/vanquished mindset that placed emphasis on force over negotiations and reconciliation, and a failure to recognize the history and social realities in each of the countries in which they meddled – these have brought the region to where it is to today.
The Bush Administration's maddening response to the chaos created by their meddling was to label it "the birth pangs of a new Middle East." But to the tens of thousands who have paid the ultimate price, and the millions whose lives and fortunes have been crushed, it was something else.
Nothing good has come from this state of affairs, and prolonging it will only make matters worse.
There is justifiable pique throughout the Middle East, and a deep frustration in the U.S. But there is too much at stake to let pride, anger, spite, or ideology rule our responses.
I have been critical of the Administration's efforts in the lead-up to Annapolis. Given what is at stake, their performance has not equaled the seriousness of the moment. The meeting has been ill-prepared and is somewhat half-baked. Nevertheless, it is deserving of support on some level. The United Nations, the Arab League, the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and the European Union can each find a role to play, and have decided that the responsible thing to do would be to accept the challenge. If Israeli-Palestinian peace is required for regional movement on other issues as well as in its own right, and it is; and if Lebanese, Palestinian, Iraqi and Pakistani national reconciliation are needed, and they are – then efforts to address them must be pursued, by any and all who can play a role.
That is why I salute the Arabs who, despite their misgivings, will come to Annapolis next week. Some will come, simply to lend support to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Others will be there because, after pressing the U.S. to become engaged, they feel uncomfortable disengaging themselves. They will offer aid and political backing – both needed ingredients to success. The burden will then be on the U.S. to do, after Annapolis, what it failed to do before: to press Israel to deliver meaningful concessions in the interests of peace.
This effort may not perfect, but it is the lemons we have been given, and out of which we must make the best we can.
The lives of millions cannot wait fourteen months for the outcome of an unpredictable American electoral process. I learned a long time ago that believing "it had to get worse before it got better" only ever resulted in "it getting worse."
It would be indecent to hope for failure, and shameful to stand by and let it happen.

It turns out to be a kitchen knife selling scheme: after you pay about $150 for a demo set (that may be refundable) you are turned loose to sell these knife sets to your friends and family costing anywhere from $200-$2000 with a starting commission rate of 10%. Then you're supposed to ask them for the contact info of their friends and family and do the same. As reps are often misled about their job, they are also often misled abot the quality of the knives. You are hired as an independent contractor instead of an employee and that basically allows them to withhold pay for training, phone time, etc. There is a base pay per appt you don't sell at, as long as it is qualified by their standards (one-on-one done fully to someone over 25 with a job). They've admitted to fraud in settlements with the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (1999), Wisconsin Consumer Protection Dept (1994), and Arizona Attorney General (1992). Wisconsin surveyed 940 Vector Marketing recruits in 1992 and found that almost half either earned nothing or lost money working for Vector and they earned less than $3 a day on average selling cutlery for Vector
Many sites and newspaper articles have have called Vector out for their scam:

Now out is a new advert by Nokia that clearly and plainly shows just what the common user has failed to realize concerning apps in the Windows Phone store. Not only does it give new perspective to the growing and evolving Windows Phone, it also sheds new light on why so many are almost instantly turned away from the OS. Check it out below and be sure to share on all your social network sites!:
The new app reality. Nokia #Lumia has all the apps you need in the Windows Phone Store.
What more can be said? I don't know….How about trying a Windows Phone and removing those blinders that so many have concerning Microsoft? The reality is that most likely you have a distorted view on anything outside the "norm" when in actuality the normal will soon include Microsoft..

Women are considered to be more fragile than the opposite sex, and there are so many things that ladies have to do in order for them to ensure that they stay healthy and free from any diseases. Again, it is worth noting that these routines or regimens are different from what men need to do. For instance, when it comes to exercises, there are special workouts that are intended only for women. Some of which include leg raises and squat workouts among others.
Optimal women's health
So, when can you say that a woman is doing good? When can you consider a woman to be sound and healthy? First of all, she should be free from any types of ailments. Also, she must be eating the right type of food and taking in the right supplements. It would be good too if she is exercising on a daily basis.
In a nutshell, a woman is healthy if all the aspects (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) are taken into consideration. This means that even the most private parts, like the vagina and anus, are well taken care of.
Below are the important things that you should do to achieve optimal women's health;
Proper nutrition
Just like men, women need to ensure proper nutrition. Keep in mind though that the amount of vitamins and minerals that are required for ladies may be different from that of the guys. One of the most important minerals that ladies should supply their body with is iron. This is especially so when they are on their monthly period.
Furthermore, women are advised to eat oatmeal, apples, walnuts, beans, salmon, dark chocolate, and other food items that can help keep the body strong and healthy.
Feminine care
This is another aspect that all women should focus on. The vagina is quite sensitive, and various infections may occur if it is not cared for properly. What you need to do is make sure that this part of your body is clean at all times. Consume more fruits and vegetables so your vaginal muscles will remain firm and strong.
Medical help
If you have noticed that there is something wrong with your body, then you have to seek medical help right away. This will help detect diseases or ailments at their early stages and come up with the best treatment.


text: In this work studies of barrier height local values are presented. Distribution of the gate-oxide EBG(x, y) and semiconductor-oxide EBS(x, y) barrier height local values have been determined using the photoelectric measurement methods. Two methods were used to obtain the local values of the barrier heights: modified Powell-Berglund method and modified Fowler method. Both methods were modified in such a way as to allow determination of the EBG(x, y) and EBS(x, y) distribution over the gate area using a focused UV light beam of a small diameter d = 0.3 mm. Measurements have been made on a series of Al-SiO2-Si(n+) MOS structures with semitransparent (tAl = 35 nm) square aluminum gate (1 x 1 mm2). It has been found that the EBG(x, y) distribution has a characteristic dome-like shape, with highest values at the center of the gate, lower at the gate edges and still lower at gate corners. On the contrary, the EBS(x, y) distribution is of a random character. Also, in this paper, both barrier height measurements have been compared with the photoelectric effective contact potential difference fMS(x, y) measurements. These results show good agreement between distribution of the barrier heights EBG(x, y) and EBS(x, y) measurements and independently determined shape of the effective contact potential difference fMS(x, y) distribution.JO - Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences: Technical Sciences L1 - http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111741/PDF/%2854-4%29461.pdf L2 - http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111741 PY - 2006 IS - No 4 EP - 468 KW - barrier height KW - effective contact potential difference KW - MOS system A1 - Piskorski, K.

Talk:Sjach Dragonkin
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Wikified Notification[edit]
What needs to be wiki-fied? After looking at the article, it seems like I already have it wiki-fied, and no notification or notes anywhere about what exactly needs to be changed. Unless it's exactly pointed out, the moniker that it 'needs change' but offering no helpful links beyond what HAS already been modified (headers and the like), then it serves no purpose. If it's simply because it doesn't have a TOC, the article is short enough that there's no point for it to be there.
Again, more help then 'CHANGE IT' and no references would seriously help so that I can begin fixing it. :) --Sjach 21:08, 20 July 2013 (EDT)
- Thank you for asking. The more general Template:Cleanup is probably more to the purpose. At the moment, this article does not have references, is written in a style significantly more informal than is the standard here, and includes an extensive description section, also non-standard. From what I see therefore what needs changing is style rather than wiki format. -- Sine 23:42, 20 July 2013 (EDT)

Adventures with Hypnosis
In 1949, I had a real problem with a dental phobia. Four dentists had turned me down as a patient. I had two abscessed teeth and a mouthful of other cavities. My dental phobia was so bad that it had forced me to go to a hospital some years earlier in order to have three abscessed teeth removed while I was unconscious. I went to a dental convention where I found the recommended dentist who did hypnosis. He couldn't work on my teeth, but he said he thought he could help me.
So, at the lunch break, I went to his room with several other dentists, and he hypnotized me with a "standard" induction technique. Then, he taught me a psychological trick of relaxation. If I raised my left hand whenever I felt my right hand becoming a fist, indicating tension, the dentist would stop, and I would relax my right hand, and lower my left hand.) I didn't believe it would work, but I made an appointment with the last dentist who had turned me down and had recommended hypnosis. For the first few minutes, I kept raising my left hand, and he stopped immediately.
After that, I didn't need to raise my left hand much at all, and he worked fast. He pulled the two bad teeth, and drilled and filled a dozen more in one single hour and half session. I had Novocain for the bad ones, and didn't need it for the others. Both the dentist and I were amazed at this, and he asked if I were really twins To me, a 22-year-old engineering student, this was a genuine "miracle", and I started to learn all I could about this miracle cure. I read everything I could find, from the 1700's literature about Mesmer, Coue, etc, up to Erickson, Barber, etc. I became an electronic engineer, and pursued this as my major career, but my avocation continued to be hypnosis, and by extension, psychology. (Much of behavior psychology is similar to hypnosis). I used it professionally, taught it in a major university to doctors, and continued to learn about it. I performed some "shows", and considered a career as a stage hypnotist, but was more interested in using it for helping people, as it had helped me. In 1979, I left electronic engineering, and turned to psychology.
I went back and obtained a Doctorate in Psychology based on my education, life experience, and my doctoral dissertation. I became a successful Behaviorist Psychologist for years in private practice in Florida. I gradually converted to an Orthomolecular practice when I found that these types of therapies worked better than any "talk therapy", although talk therapy is sometimes useful as well. Hypnotic Relaxation During this many years of study, and later career as a psychologist, I realized that what that original dentist who hypnotized me had actually done. With hypnosis, he had simply given me a "new" conscious tool of relaxation. Using this simple tool, I could actually change something in my unconscious called a "phobia". It wasn't really a miracle, though I had thought so at the time. Adding this knowledge to my knowledge of Pavlovian "conditioning responses", I came up with what I called the Bate Relaxation Technique. This is very simple, yet it can be very powerful - much more powerful than most realize because of its simplicity. It starts with a general hypnotic induction technique of relaxing the body muscles, starting with the toes and going up to the scalp and face.
Then, in a state of muscle relaxation, ask the subject to visualize a very beautiful relaxing scene he/she is in. Describe the scene. Ask them to concentrate on how beautiful and very relaxing it is. Then, ask the subject to memorize the feelings of relaxation and concentration they are feeling at that time. Have them put these feelings into their memory like a photograph. Then, give them a post-hypnotic suggestion that they can now recall those feeling any time they simply count to three. End the session, and have the subject stand up, take a deep breath and simply count to three. It's simply amazing how the shoulders often slump 2-3 inches or some other muscles that the subject usually tenses from stress relax. I describe the "strange" feeling as sort of a "blah" feeling. (As subjects stand up from the session, their "normal" pattern of muscle stress takes effect, and the "instant" relaxation is definitely experienced.
) I then tell the subject that they now have the pattern, but it up to them to use it often, several times a day, even if not needed, for the next week or so. This will set this pattern into their unconscious as a "conditioned response". (Remember Pavlov's dog?) Now, they have the same tool I got from the original dentist, but it is much more enhanced and valuable. It instantly relieves stress of any kind. Driving a car a long distance is very stressful. My wife and I recently drove over 20 hours straight thru, with me driving about 14 of those hours. At 78 years old, that's not "usual". The secret - we both simply count to three every so often and are able to relax behind the wheel. Muscle tension is very tiring, and few are able to relax this muscle tension behind the wheel.

Caught in the act again
Errant driver seen refusing fare on Wednesday in Aundh fails to mend ways, is found repeating offence in Budhwar Peth next day; sensing police presence, some auto men turn good boys
Errant driver seen refusing fare on Wednesday in Aundh fails to mend ways, is found repeating offence in Budhwar Peth next day; sensing police presence, some auto men turn good boys
On Day 4 of the auto campaign, most of the drivers caught refusing passengers said that they had to fill up fuel and had to rush home for lunch. A few of them, aware of the police's presence, agreed to go anywhere the commuters wanted them to go. As many as eight drivers were booked yesterday for either refusing to ply passengers or for overcharging and refusing to go by meter.
Location: Shania Chowk, Bajiro Road, Sadashiv Peth
Time: 12 pm to 2 pm
Offenders caught: 5
Old habits die hard: Sarjerao Tanksale (in white Gandhi cap) is
booked by the traffic police after he was caught refusing passengers
once again at Budhwar Peth. Earlier, he was also booked in Aundh for
the same reason. Pic/Krunal Gosavi
For driver Sarjerao Taksale of vehicle no MH-12AR-6509 it was a case of old habits die hard, as he was found flouting rules for the second time on two consecutive days by the Faraskhana police in Budhwar Peth for refusing a passenger. His licence was confiscated. Just a day earlier, he had promised the MiD DAY team at Aundh that he would follow all rules and would refrain from troubling commuters. It happened that a passenger Sadhana Naik (45), her husband Shirish (50) and son Rohan (28) travelled in Taksale's auto from the PMC building to Shrinath Chowk, but Taksale left them two stops before the destination.
Taksale was also found talking on his mobile while ferrying passengers. At the Shanipar Chowk, the drivers were found refusing blatantly passengers as they refused to go to Vijay Theatre or Raviwar Peth. When rounded up, the drivers argued that they had to pick up children from a nearby school and were running out of time.
Location: SGS Mall and West End Cinema, Dr Ambedkar Road, Cantonment
Time: 5 pm to 7pm
Offenders caught: 3
Don't say never: Traffic police check papers of an auto driver at Shanipar

In the name of god, yes: Prashant Agarkar says passengers are like
God for him
At Cantonment the drivers were booked for the same offences as they refused to ply towards Sachapir Street in Camp from the West End Cinema bus stop but were willing to ply a longer distance to Poolgate, Hadapsar, Ruby Hall and Bund Garden area. Student harassed 25-year-old Yash Sharma, a student of acting in FTII, was forced to pay an extra Rs 20 near SGS Mall on Ambedkar Road. It was only when he pointed out the case to MiD DAY, the police booked the auto driver for overcharging. Sighting trouble most of the drivers in the area started cooperating with the commuters and the MiD DAY team.
Silver lining
There were some well-mannered drivers who agreed to ply commuters wherever they wanted. Ramchandra Javalkar (42) (MHQ 8288), Prashant Agarkar (35) (MH-12/PQ1222) and Sanjay Rakhpasare (32) (MWR K-3454) were the ones whose names were recorded in the good books. Javalkar also assisted 83-year-old Anant Shankar Karve and drove him to his home on Prabhat Road. "The two passengers in the auto did not object to it," he said. Agarkar said he was a religious man. "Passengers are like God for me and I never say no to anyone," said Agarkar. Rakhpasare said, "I feel ashamed of our colleagues who are uncooperative with the commuters."
As PMPML bus services are worst, I opt for auto rickshaws. Most of the time I have a bad experience with them also. Either they refuse to go or ask more money. I really wonder where we are going. There is no control on the auto rickshaw driver. The rickshaw drivers should show a little decency towards commuters who are above 50 or 60 year old.
Satish Kamat (55)
It is easy to come to Laxmi Road but most difficult to go out as I always face many problems with the auto drivers. They are always in a hurry and not ready to stop and talk to the ladies. Now I come on my own two-wheeler and park it in a nearby lane. I wish somebody would teach the auto drivers how to behave properly with commuters.
Anjali Joshi (38)
It is strange to pay different tariffs to go the same distance. I have been travelling from Shanipar to FC Road by paying different fares for the last two years. I am sure that many auto drivers are tampering with their meters and charging differently. Some of them even ask more than what the meter shows. Why does the RTO not keep a proper track on errant auto drivers?

Recently, as a special treat for our Guardian Nation members, USA Firearm Training had a sit-down interview and audience Q&A with Mike Hughes, or as he is affectionately referred to, Big Mike.
Mike was a contestant on the History Channel's Top Shot Season Three where he was a member of the Blue Team, but after making it to the final seven on his season, he joined the Green Team. Mike was originally eliminated during Week Nine, after losing an elimination challenge against Gary Quesenberry. However, after the resignation of Jake Zweig in the following episode, he was brought back to the competition where he eventually reached the Season 3 Finale eventually losing out to Dustin Ellermann.
Before that, Mike played college football at the University of Idaho and practiced law for over a decade.
He is also the founder and president of Next Level Training in Ferndale, Washington. a United States Practical Shooting Association competitive pistol shooter where he placed 7th at their Nationals competition, and the inventor of his own training pistol called the SIRT Pistol.
Mike is known for his absolute obsession with speed and accuracy born out of a love for fundamentals. He focuses on teaching the most important and critical aspects of handgun shooting. This is what led him to develop the SIRT which has become a top training tool at all levels of military, law enforcement, and private training organizations.
USA Firearm Training President Jacob Paulsen and Riley Bowman sat down with Mike to discuss his mindset for competitive and defensive shooting. Some of the discussed topics included…
- Bridging between Competitive and Defensive shooting. How to prepare for something you may never have to practice.
- What was the hardest shot to make on Top Shot?
- What is the 80/20 of grip?
- Is SIRT planning on making a compact version of its model?
- What's a day in the life of Mike Hughes like when training for an event?
- Not being afraid of failure in competitive shooting or overall training.

Popcorn and Wine Pairing Tips
To Make Wine Explode, Pair It With Popcorn
Popcorn may not be the first food pairing that comes to mind when drinking wine, but Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson thinks it's time to change that.
"Popcorn is great with wine," said Robinson, who discovered the pairing when she was first starting out at New York's International Wine Center.
"I went into the kitchen to microwave some popcorn, and there was a free bottle of Lindemans Bin 65 Chardonnay. It was my first 'Aha!' wine pairing moment." Here are some of Robinson's favorite wine-and-popcorn flavor combinations.
- Thyme popcorn or pesto popcorn with Napa Cabernet. Pesto will bring out the Cabernet's cedar notes, and is a great meat-free bridge to big red wines.
- Wasabi popcorn + Riesling. The wine counterbalances wasabi's heat.
- Paprika or hickory with Pinot Noir. Smoky elements complement the spice notes in a Pinot.
- Aged gouda popcorn with barrel-fermented Chardonnay. "Eating aged gouda with barrel-fermented Chardonnay is like eating unsweetened crème brûlée!"
Have you ever tried eating popcorn alongside a glass of vino?

All That Remains' Oli Herbert Cause Of Death Revealed
All That Remains' Oli Herbert cause of death and reason why a public memorial was canceled has been revealed by the guitarist's widow Beth. He died last month at the age of 44.
Beth Herbert shared the following, "Good morning everyone this is Beth. And indeed it IS a good morning; Toxicology results are back as is the official cause of my husband's death!
"Cause of death- Drowning; Toxicology- Oli was apparently self-treating for manic-depression that has run in his family for several generations. Anti-depressants were found in his system, as well as a sleep aid.
"The psych meds found in his system were the same ones that a close relative has been prescribed for a long time, so he knew what to hunt down for the 'treatment'.
"Seeing how he was not going (and wouldn't go) to a doctor to get diagnosed with the issue and was not being prescribed the medications and monitored on them, it explains his occasional erratic behavior here at home.
"As far as why the memorial was cancelled; concern for my personal safety and home due to numerous threats to both is the reason. If anybody knows where Oli was getting the psych meds, please call CT State Police, Troop C in Tolland, CT."

Congratulations! You are a finalist for a Beatrix Potter Award in the Community Business Award category.
…said the email. So that was nice, and to be honest, left me a bit teary with shock.
But there was no-one in the shop at the time of the fortuitous emither's arrival. Mr LVS had taken Small LVS swimming so wasn't answering his phone, and I was hopping around the place and hyperventilating slightly with excitement. So I did what anyone would do under the circumstances, and posted it on Facebook. Then I phoned my mum and had a real conversation without the obligatory social-media multiple exclamation marks. And then, in the time-honoured tradition of self-styled rustic-ish small shops everywhere, I wrote it with chalk pen on the window.
I have no idea what actually winning one of these awards might entail, neither have I any idea how we're going to manage to get to the award ceremony thingy when it's on mid-week during opening hours and will take most of the day. We'll have to either close for the day, or one of us goes Billy-No-Mates, and whoever stays behind will have to manage Small LVS in the shop all day (I'm sobbing at the thought).
Or we'll have take her along, which will be an LVS PR disaster but which might provide amusing blogging fodder, as she is rarely able to sit still and shut her gob for very long, especially when there are all these lovely grown-ups to show her various toys to and share all personal achievements and opinions with.
So Feb 8th is the auspicious date, and a big hurrah for Mrs Heelis.

A little history
During Budapest's modern era, the first Jewish people settled here in the late 18th century (the thriving medieval Jewish Quarter in Buda's Castle Hill was decimated in 1686, when the Imperial Army defeated the Ottomans). The Jewish Quarter became the area that's the inner part of Budapest's District 7 today. Budapest's rapid urbanization and economic development at the time presented plenty of business opportunities for Jews, drawing them in increasing numbers. Jews, in turn, further contributed to the city's progress.
By 1867, sooner than in most neighboring countries, Jews in Hungary gained civil and legal rights that were effectively the same as those of local Christians. As a result, the Jewish population continued to rise, so that by 1910, more than 23 percent of Budapest's population was Jewish (over 200,000 people). The Jewish Quarter, as it was known then, became a bustling neighborhood, teeming with retail stores, kosher restaurants, and three synagogues near one another.
The mutually beneficial relationship between Budapest Jews, most of whom were highly assimilated and thought of themselves as Hungarians, and Christian Hungarians began to deteriorate after WWI, and culminated in the tragic events of the Holocaust—in the winter of 1944, Nazis and Hungarian fascists turned the Jewish Quarter into a ghetto, where thousands died of famine and starvation. The ghetto's walls ran mainly along today's Rumbach, Király, Kertész, and Dohány Streets. In January of 1945, the Soviet army liberated the ghetto and saved its residents from deportation. (You can read more about Budapest's Jewish past and present.)
A period of deterioration and hardscrabble life followed during communism; residents moved out en masse or fled from Hungary, leaving the neighborhood in decay. Today, marks of Jewish life are rapidly disappearing from the area. Three beautiful synagogues, known as the "synagogue triangle," still stand as a reminder of the Jewish past, but each of their congregations are small. The Dohány Street Synagogue, by far the most famous and also the largest in Europe, still fills up during the High Holidays, but the orthodox synagogue in Kazinczy Street has less than a hundred members, and the Rumbach Street Synagogue is no longer functional. Three of Budapest's main Holocaust memorials are also here. Only a few glatt kosher restaurants remain, although Jewish-style places have started to appear, in part thanks to booming tourism.
The Jewish Quarter today
Today, the streets and dilapidated buildings of the old Jewish Quarter are home to a revitalized Hungarian culture, bristling with shops, bars, cafés, and restaurants. This neighborhood is also the cradle of ruin bars, these impossibly cool drinking joints that began to mushroom inside the vast courtyards of vacant pre-war buildings and have since taken Budapest by storm (the most famous, Szimpla Kert, is also here).
The Jewish Quarter, however, is gradually becoming a victim of its own success. Skyrocketing tourism is driving up prices and local residents away from the area, gradually stripping it of its essence. Nonetheless, it's still a fascinating neighborhood, you just need to navigate through the tourist-heavy streets with care. This primer is here to help.
While downtown may be the food mecca of Budapest with its Michelin-decorated restaurants, the Jewish Quarter is giving it a run for its money, especially with the diversity of its options. Consider this: within a few minutes of one another, you can have New Orleans-style jambalaya at Soul Food, kosher cholent at Hanna, Vietnamese bánh mì sandwich at Bánh Mì, barbecued meat at Bp BARbq, Japanese ramen at Komachi, and no-frills, old-school Hungarian food at Frici Papa and Kádár Étkezde.
In addition, several of Budapest's hottest restaurants are also inside the old Jewish Quarter, including Gettó Gulyás, serving simple-but-tasty Hungarian stew dishes, Mazel Tov, an updated ruin bar, DOBRUMBA, a chic Middle Eastern-themed restaurant, and the snug M. Restaurant. Know before you go that most customers at these places, as in others in the neighborhood, are tourists, because of the relatively high price points (still, they're lower than in Western Europe).
The Jewish Quarter's saturated bar scene can feel overwhelming at first, as almost every street is lined with attractive-looking drinking joints. Kisüzem, exuding bohemian vibes, managed to retain a mainly local clientele and serves a broad selection of premium rums from the top shelf. Nappali Kávéház plays in a similar league, except it's stronger on the whiskey front and usually less crowded. Központ and Telep are where Budapest's trendy hipsters hang out. In the outdooor season, you can enjoy low-priced drinks at Kőleves Kert under a canopy of trees. (Here's the full list of the best local bars in Budapest, many of which are in the Jewish Quarter.)
An interesting phenomenon is how throngs of local teenagers and college students, who've been priced out of the Jewish Quarter's bars, drink away happily for a fraction of the prices just a few blocks away at the dime a dozen bars along the Grand Boulevard (Erzsébet Körút). If you're curious, stop by 4es6os Wesselényi before you hit the Jewish Quarter.
Ruin bars have become a tourist attraction, and unfortunately their low-priced beers can bring out the worst of English stag party crews. Nonetheless, Szimpla Kert, despite throngs of camera-wielding tourists, is still the best ruin bar in Budapest and worth experiencing at least once.
When it comes to the world of craft coffee and drinks, I often find it difficult to choose from the individual providers because they can be so similar in terms of decor and offerings, so I usually just end up where the service is friendliest. With that in mind, my favorite specialty coffee in the Jewish Quarter is Dorado Café. Both Hops Beer Bar and Hopaholic have incredible arrays of craft beers and knowledgeable bartenders. If you're serious about your drink, be it a classic martini or a contemporary Penicillin cocktail, Boutiq Bar and Hotsy Totsy will not disappoint.
Gozsdu Udvar (Gozsdu Courtyard) consists of a long stretch of bars and restaurants right in the heart of the Jewish Quarter. Here too, you should proceed with caution as Gozsdu is another favored hangout of stag parties (Americans: bachelor parties), and it's the type of place where scantily clad hostesses and grouchy bouncers abound. A few exceptions, however, do exist. 2 Spaghi Pasta Bar serves up tasty traditional Italian pastas in a casual, takeout-type setting. Spíler delivers everything you would expect from a trendy bistro, and doing it without outrageously high prices. Sáo is the go-to Asian fusion restaurant for the city's fashionable crowd, and you can run into high-energy live music and dancing at Vicky Barcelona tapas bar.
Despite the crowded bar scene, the Jewish Quarter offers few options for feeling the beat. The most reliable electronic dance venue is Lärm, inside the enormous Fogasház ruin bar, where international DJs spin ear-splitting music inside a pitch-black dance hall. 4BRO Downtown/Aether is a posher space in Gozsdu; on the lower level they blast electronic music until the wee hours. A local, alternative crowd hangs out at Beat On The Brat, which occasionally hosts good parties with pop and indie tunes.
Klauzál Square offers the one and only green space in the Jewish Quarter. The refurbished, 19th century Klauzál Market Hall is still searching for its 21st-century purpose, but there are two low-priced eateries inside that are ideal for a quick lunch: Marika Lángos Sütője and Mangalica Mennyország. Despite the obvious gentrification that's sweeping the area, you can still find some old-time residents near the park, many of them Roma families, mixing with recently-arrived Millennials and tourists.
Beyond the Jewish Quarter and dominating the Grand Boulevard (Nagykörút) is the 1894 building of the New York Palace. This dramatic building is best known for the New York Café, located on the ground floor, a famous hangout of journalists and artists of yore. Today, instead of cigarette smoke and alcohol, tourists, sipping €7 cappuccinos and listening to live cabaret music, fill this ornate space complete with bronze statues and a frescoed ceiling.
The outer part of District 7 beyond the Grand Boulevard is the opposite of the old Jewish Quarter—a sleepy, residential neighborhood. Rózsák Square is lined with a Roman and a Greek Catholic church, a Serbian middle school, and a Lutheran dormitory, serving as a reminder of the city's oft-forgotten religious and ethnic diversity. For a journey back in time, grab lunch at Kívánság Étkezde (don't sleep on the mátrai borzaska here). If you have a more refined palate, it's worth trekking out to Olimpia, one of Budapest's best and most affordable tasting menu restaurant, specializing in modern Hungarian dishes.

6 Attributes of a Well-Groomed Business
Aspiring entrepreneurs are flooded with statistics and warnings: businesses that do start are starting smaller, are less healthy, and are far less likely to succeed than ever before. But these potential owners are also flooded with encouragement, words of inspiration from successful entrepreneurs, and support.
Starting a business is tough, but leaving a business requires just as much planning, timing, thought, and strategy. Well-groomed businesses position themselves to exit as successfully as they entered, and, hopefully, more so.
The goal of grooming a business is to increase its salability; in other words, you want to make it as attractive as possible to potential buyers. There are six attributes that these businesses tend to share. They have:
- Maximized profits and cash flow. Businesses have already taken steps to shore up their operations. Profits and cash flow have been maximized by any number of initiatives, including price increases, reduced waste, improved production techniques, improved customer relations, lower operating costs, etc.
- Remove owner's and other non-business expenses. A step in normalizing your financials, you have to remove the owner's compensation and factor in the cost of hiring a manager at market value to replace him/her. You also want to remove non-business expenses; for instance, if you've paid an investment advisor for consultation, you would deduct that expense.
- Cleaned up the balance sheet. A clean sheet indicates that you have no non-performing assets including bad customer accounts, slow turning inventory or obsolete fixed assets. This is a vital step in grooming your business.
- Determined if any further capital expenditures is warranted. While you want to minimize expenditures, you also want to make sure that your business remains operational. Are there any expenditures you need to make to ensure functionality and salability? Should you invest in product innovation or marketing? Are these actions going to provide the necessary ROI?
- Maximized sustainable sales levels. Buyers are looking for an upward trend in growth. Sustainably high or optimized sales levels indicate good health and reduce the risk to buyers.
- Secured long-term relationships with customers and suppliers. To increase attractiveness, and help edge that growth upwards, well-groomed businesses take the time to shore up supplier and customer relationships. Are agreements firm and contracts transferable? Can you extend them? Renegotiate? How can you develop exceptional customer service, loyalty and strong working ties with customers, vendors, suppliers, lenders, and others in the B2B community?
Another attribute that well-groomed businesses share is that they begin this process in advance. Whether it is one, two, or three years before a possible sell date, owners begin to position themselves advantageously. Not only is this to their benefit because you have a business to run, it is for the good of the future owners.

60-second interview with Professor Iain McNeish, Chair of the NCRI Gynaecological Clinical Studies Group
Professor Iain McNeish, Professor of Gynaecological Oncology at the Institute of Cancer Sciences, University of Glasgow and recently appointed Chair of the NCRI Gynaecological Clinical Studies Group (CSG), tells us about his career in cancer research so far, his new role as a CSG Chair and the challenges ahead.
How/why did you get in to science?
I realised that I wanted to be an oncologist whilst I was a very junior doctor working in a lung cancer team. I also realised then that I wanted to be an academic, so I undertook a PhD immediately after finishing my junior hospital jobs – my project involved developing novel gene therapies for ovarian cancer. At that point, I was hooked – I found ovarian cancer fascinating and I still do nearly 20 years later.
What have you been working on most recently?
The central theme of research in my lab is to understand the biology of ovarian cancer within the unique space where it grows, the peritoneal cavity. So, half of the team are working on viral therapies, in particular how viruses kill malignant cells and interact with the immune system in the peritoneal cavity. The others are looking at how ovarian cancer evolves within the peritoneal cavity as it relapses and becomes resistant to chemotherapy.
What are you most looking forward to in your new role as Chair of the NCRI Gynaecological CSG?
Helping to develop the next series of trials in gynaecological cancer – and through these trials, I hope, help to change practice for these cancers both within the UK and internationally.
What do you perceive to be the biggest challenges in gynaecological cancer research?
Gynaecological cancers are individually relatively rare, although collectively common. And we now realise that the subtypes are completely different from each other, especially in ovarian and endometrial cancers, and are likely to need their own trials. So, the biggest challenge will be ensuring that we are running scientifically relevant trials that can be opened in many centres and that we can recruit to.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Riding my bike, climbing hills, making ice cream (and then eating it!) and listening to music.
If you could choose one piece of art (film/play/book/music) that you love, what would it be?
The Ring by Richard Wagner

Blog by Steve Laug
I received a call from a fellow who lives nearby my house about working on some pipes for him. He happened to be packing them up to send to the US for repairs when he stumbled on the rebornpipes.com website. He stopped by with a box of pipes that he wanted to know if I could work on for him. Two were pretty straight forward – 1910 Calabash that needed a cleanup and a freehand that belonged to his dad that he wanted cleaned up so that he could send it back to him. The freehand was simple – buffing, touching up stain, cleaning the bowl and shank and removing tooth chatter and oxidation from the stem. I finished that one first and then moved on to this calabash. I have written about the calabash on a previous blog that can be found at the following link: (https://rebornpipes.com/2018/07/01/a-simple-restoration-of-a-1910-gourd-calabash/). The third pipe that he wanted me to work on was a different proposition – it was a Blowfish shaped pipe with the name Chimera etched on the underside of the shank. He did not like the stem and the way it looked on the shank. He was wondering if I could add some length to the shank and fit a different looking stem on it that better fit the shape and look of the pipe. I took photos of the pipe before I started working on it. I took a close up photo of the stamping on the shank. It is a brand that I don't know much about. It is not listed on Pipedia or Pipephils site. I wrote an email to the owner to see what he could tell me about the pipe. He wrote back as follows:
The blowfish "Vincent" was made by Tedd Weitzman in Atlanta around 2010. He started making pipes out of the shop of a local amateur maker and this was his first sellable one… "Chimera" would have been his marque, but he hadn't made a stamp yet, but as far as I know he never made another.The pipe had an interesting shape and worked with the grain very well. It seemed to have a clean and open draw. I took a few photos of the bowl from various angles to show the grain. Some of you may note that the shank end is not square and require that the saddle of the stem be cut at an angle. This will need to be addressed when I add the shank extension. I had an interesting faux horn (Lucite) shank extension here that I thought make an interesting contrast with the shape of the bowl. I also had a four sided, square vulcanite tapered stem that I thought would look good with the pipe. I laid out the pieces and took a photo of the proposed look of the pipe. I sent the photos to the owner and his response was to go with what I thought would look good. I was good to go on this one.I took the pipe apart and worked on the shank extension. I glued a threaded Delrin tenon in the shank end of the stem to join it to the shank of the pipe. The taper on the shank extension was not quite enough to make a smooth transition with the briar shank. I took it down with a Dremel and sanding drum and got it close. The rest of the fitting would have to be done by hand with files and sandpaper. The tenon would need to be cleaned up a bit but it was going to work nicely. I put the stem back together with the extension and took some photos. I put the stem and shank extension in place on the bowl and took some photos. You can see that the transition is getting close. I think the faux horn shank extension and new stem are going to look really good. It is quite unique looking as a whole. I like the longer shank and stem with the large blowfish shaped bowl. Once I had the transition sanded smooth with 220 grit sandpaper I polished it and the extension with micromesh sanding pads – wet sanding with 1500-2400 grit pads and dry sanding with 3200-4000 grit pads. I wiped the extension down after each pad with a damp cloth. Before I polished it with the 6000-12000 grit pads I stained the connection with an oak coloured stain pen to match the colour of the rest of the bowl. I finished by polishing the junction and the extension with the last three grits (6000-12000) of micromesh pads. I really like the look of the longer shank. The faux horn extension looks good with the rest of the pipe. I worked Before & After Restoration Balm deep into the briar on the smooth finish to clean, enliven and protect it. I wiped it off with a soft cloth. I buffed the bowl with a cotton cloth to polish it. It really began to have a deep shine in the briar. I took some photos of the bowl at this point to mark the progress in the restoration. The grain on the bowl is really beginning to stand out and will only do so more as the pipe is waxed. I set the bowl aside and began to work on the stem that I had chosen. It was an interesting four sided taper stem with a flare at the bottom where it joined the shank. The tenon was rough so it would need to be worked on. I funneled the airway in the stem to give it a good open flow. I sanded out the tooth chatter on the top and underside near the button. I sanded out the scratches in the tenon and the underside of the disk between the tenon and the stem. I used a folded piece of 220 grit sandpaper to do the shaping and smoothing work on the stem.I polished the stem with micromesh sanding pads – wet sanding with 1500-2400 grit pads and dry sanding with 3200-12000 grit pads. I wiped the stem down after each pad with Obsidian Oil and rubbed it into the surface. To finish the polishing I used Before & After Pipe Polish – both Fine and Extra Fine polishes. I gave it a final coat of Obsidian Oil and hand buffed it to a shine. This Chimera Blowfish has some really beautiful grain all around the bowl and shank. The grain really is quite stunning. The asymmetrical nature of the bowl and shank give it a really unique look. I can see why the original stem was a hard fit. The shank extension that has the look of faux horn looks really good in contrast between the briar and the stem. The panelled vulcanite stem is high quality and shined up well. I buffed the bowl and the stem with Blue Diamond polish to raise the shine on the briar and the vulcanite. I was careful to not buff the stamping and damage it. I gave the bowl and stem multiple coats of carnauba wax. I buffed the entire pipe with a clean buffing pad to raise the shine. I hand buffed it with a microfiber cloth to deepen the shine. The finished pipe is shown in the photos below. The dimensions of the pipe are: Length: 6 1/2 inches, Height: 2 inches, Outside Diameter: 1 3/4 inches, Diameter of the chamber: 3/4 inch. This blowfish feels great in the hand and its light weight give it the potential of being a clencher. I have one more repair to do for this pipeman and I will give him a call soon and I know that he is looking forward smoking these pipes. Thanks for walking through the restoration with me.

The band itself is based on the classic jazz big band instrumentation of saxes, trumpets and trombones and features the cream of the north of England's jazz scene. Abstract Orchestra's Madvillain Vol 1. explores the jazz, TV soundtrack and film score aspect of the original work, combining it with classic big band writing and a focus on improvisation. Rob Mitchell says of the record: 'Madvillainy' is a jazz album as much as it is a hip-hop album and I wanted to explore this reciprocal territory there has always been between jazz and hip-hop. 70's cop show soundtracks have always captured my interest and imagination, and I discovered so much amazing music through TV themes, Quincy Jones and Lalo Schifrin in particular. They explored sounds that were menacing, angular, dissonant, frantic and yet captivating. Arranging & scoring up Madvillain Vol 1. has allowed me to explore these sounds that I've always loved, yet keeping a strong hip-hop identity as the core of its sound."

Maine's jobless rate continues to drop, hitting 6.2 percent in December
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � Maine's unemployment rate dropped again in December to its lowest rate in five years.
The Maine Department of Labor said Tuesday that Maine's unemployment rate for December was 6.2 percent, down 1 percent from the same period a year ago. It's also lower than the November jobless rate of 6.4 percent.
Maine continues to beat the national average.
Gov. Paul LePage said, "More Mainers are remaining in the labor force seeking work, and they are finding it." He said part of the credit goes to the administration's efforts to cut red tape, streamline regulations and cut taxes.

Erich Von Daniken's exclusive interview. Know all the exciting news about the movie adaptation of the revolutionary book "Chariots of the Gods".
We've already told you about it in "Aliens will Return in 20 Years"
During the event, Von Däniken gave a two hour presentation detailing his view that thousands of years ago there was a 'war in heaven' and that ET could return within the next two decades.
"The ET's know about us because we are part of their DNA," he told the audience. "The Bible speaks of the daughters of men having intercourse with these visitors, and many worldwide myths and legends repeat the same story. These stories always say the ET's will return to us."
A exclusive Robert Perala interview for Contact in the Desert with Von Däniken discussing similar themes and more exciting details can be viewed below:
