Admiralty Circular
7 August 1869
As a general rule all ordinary passages and all cruizing under steam, except for special steam tactics, are to be performed at rates of speed between four and five knots.
No ship, unless ordered to be at a given port by a given date, or unless her safety would be endangered by observing this rule, is ever to steam when she has a fair wind capable of sending her at four or five knots, or when she has a foul wind, or when she has a foul wind sufficiently strong to prevent her carrying royals, unless when going in or out of harbour.
The maximum supply of coal is to be limited, and the best speed obtainable at that limitation is to be strictly enforced on all ordinary occasions, as follows :-
When ships have a fair wind and are using steam, the consumption of coal ought to be reduced.
When ever it is allowed, as it often is, to increase, the coal is being wastefully burnt.

All energy sources, and all industrial activity, carry a level of risk. And when you think about it, every activity in life, carries some risk. The key to responsible energy development, like any other, is to effectively manage that risk. With stringent environmental (Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Clean Stream Act, Act 13 etc.) and safety regulations (OSHA) in place at both the state and federal level, natural gas development in Pennsylvania is progressing in a safe and responsible manner.
Additionally, with recent improvements in technology over the past 10 years, and the discovery of shale resources from coast-to-coast, the United States has decades, and according to some estimations 100 years, worth of clean-burning natural gas.

The Main Causes of Extreme Itching.
Most people experience itching, which is very annoying. The constant itching may make one to scratch continuously, and the scratching may cause harm to your skin. The constant itching is called pruritus. To enable you to get the cause of itching, one is supposed to seek for medical investigation. It is not easy to identify the cause of the itching. The following areas should be considered as the potential aspects of itching.
Allergies is one of the common cause of the health issues. Persistent itching can result from allergies. To enable you get the cause of the major allergies you require to ask the doctor to do the allergy screening in your body. If no allergy is identified through allergy screening; you need to know that not all allergies that can be determined by the standard screening. For that reason you are supposed to ask the doctor to do the antihistamines on trail basis, as it will be helpful for you to know if you can see any changes. To determine the cause of itching one is required to go the diagnosis through treatment.
Dehydration is another major cause of itching. Drinking more water every day will be beneficial to you. The people who mostly suffer from itching are mostly required to ensure that they have taken more amount of water. Water is very important in the body as it enables flushing toxins from the body. When you have more toxin into your body; it may accumulate to cause the problems of itching. Taking a lot of water every day is a good way of treating the itching problem.
There are roundworms that live in the gut that is important for the digesting of food. The roundworms also help to keep your gut flora in good condition. When the roundworms spread in to the other parts of the body system it may lead to itching. There are health issues that may be caused by the roundworm it is thus crucial for you to understand them, One is not supposed to live with the parasite in your body. Therefore it important to make sure that you put away the roundworm from your body always to prevent the itching.
One may be undergoing some medication that can result to the itching problem. As an illustration, you may have a new medication; therefore when you start the itching problem you can therefore think it is the medication. While the side effects of itching exceed a month, it is thus necessary you to seek help from your doctor. Your problem can be identified if you visit a doctor.
Therefore if you identify the cause of the itching, you should thus be able to treat it appropriately. When you treat the itching, you will be able to have a comfortable life as you will not be stressed by the itching.

5 / 5 Stars
'Killerbowl' (162 pp) was published by Doubleday in hardback in September 1975; the cover art is by Steve Marcesi.
[A mass market paperback version was published in 1976 in the UK by Sphere Books.]
Author Gary K. Wolf (not to be confused with sf essayist Gary K. Wolfe) wrote several sf novels in the 1970s. His 1981 novel 'Who Censored Roger Rabbit ?' was the basis of the hit 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit ?
Blogging about sf and fantasy books published during the interval from 1968 – 1988 occasionally allows me to discover an overlooked, rare gem of a title, and 'Killerbowl' is one of these.
Although 'Killerbowl' came out the same year as the movie Rollerball, which also examined a near-future USA in which blood sport was a carefully crafted corporate tool for ensuring a compliant populace, 'Killerbowl' is not a derivation, but rather, a more satirical treatment of the themes of American sports, its superstars, TV coverage, and the viewing habits of 'Joe Six Pack'.
As 'Killerbowl' opens, its New Year's Day, 2010, and within an eight-block area of downtown Boston, the Street Football League's Super Bowl XXI is about to begin.
The city center has been temporarily evacuated, save for the two, 13-man teams of the San Francisco Prospectors and the New England Minutemen, the referees, and a small army of cameramen.
For the next 24 hours, the two teams will battle through the falling snow and freezing temperatures for the Championship of the SFL (the descendent of the NFL). In the SFL, violence is not only an expected part of the game, it's encouraged. The act of tackling an opposing player includes the use of long-bladed knives and blackjacks, and if a player is killed, there are no substitutions.
The populace watching Super Bowl XXI has been beaten down by decades of the Energy Crisis and attendant economic dislocation that started in the early 70s. With little hope for the future, the citizenry are content to consume bread and circuses, in the form of the SFL, handed out by the corporations and their political allies. With over 90% of the population of the USA tuning in to Super Bowl XXI, it's an unprecedented display of the International Broadcasting Company's dominance of American social and political life.
For aging veteran T. K. Mann, quarterback for the Prospectors, Super Bowl XXI is personal. His Minutemen counterpart, the arrogant, self-centered, sadistic Harv Matision, has risen to stardom based on publicly humiliating Mann and murdering Prospector players. For Mann, it's less about winning the game and more about exacting revenge on Matision.
But the IBC wants the highest rating possible, and to that end, the entire season has been rigged in favor of Matision and the Minutemen. Things aren't going to change just for the Super Bowl, either. For the IPC wants Matision and the Minutemen to win the game….and kill T. K. Mann in the process……………….
'Killerbowl' works very well as both a page-turning action novel and as a social satire, something that many sf novels try for, but rarely accomplish. Author Wolf uses a clear, declarative prose style – never a given for an sf novel published during the New Wave Era – to lend a documentary-like quality to the violent proceedings of the SFL season and the Super Bowl.
As well, the book is spot-on in terms of extrapolating the depressed, entropy-laden zeitgeist of the mid-70s forty years into the future: the 2010 version of the USA described in 'Killerbowl' is a very logical projection, given the state of the USA in 1975.
The major problem with 'Killerbowl' is that it's long out of print, and copies in good condition are quite pricey. If you can find an affordable copy in the shelves of your used bookstore, don't hesitate to pick this novel up !

Free Outdoor Pools
View Outdoor Pools for all Parks
Brooklyn Bridge Park Pop-Up Pool
NYC's outdoor pools have closed for the season. Outdoor pools will re-open for summer on June 27, 2019. Indoor pools are open year-round.
Location: Pier 2
Directions via Google Maps
Phone: (718) 222-9939
The Pop-Up Pool at Pier 2 was designed in 2012 to be open for five seasons. The pool includes a beach, deck concessions, showers, and restrooms, and is free and open to the public. The Pop-up Pool has different hours and rules than New York City's public pools.
Please visit Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pop-Up Pool page for more information.
Pool Details
Mini Pool
Dimensions: 50' x 30' x 3.5'
Pool Hours
Outdoor pool hours are from 11:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. daily, with a break for pool cleaning between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Early bird and night owl lap swim hours are also available at select sites. Outdoor pools (except mini pools) will close for the season on Sunday, September 9, 2018. Mini pools will close on Labor Day.
Know Before You Go
What to Bring
Make sure you have a sturdy combination lock when you head out to the pool. It will keep your valuables safe, and let you hit the water feeling more secure about your belongings.
What Not to Bring
You'll need to leave food, glass bottles, electronic devices, and newspapers at home. Unbound periodicals tend to blow around and create litter, food can be messy to clean up after, and there's too much water around to make sure your electronics stay safe. Just to be on the safe side, we also recommend leaving valuables like jewelry and credit cards at home.
What to Wear
You'll need to have a swimsuit to enter the pool area. We may choose to check men's shorts for a lining if we can't tell if they are wearing a bathing suit. Feel the need to cover up from the sun? Throw on a plain white shirt or white hat and you're set. We don't allow shirts with colors on them on the deck.
For the Kids
Thinking of bringing floaties? It's safer to leave them at home and just stay in the shallow end of the pool until everyone learns to swim. Want to venture deeper? Try some of our free swimming classes.
Babies or toddlers can put on swim diapers before they head into the water. While we may be able to find a place to park your stroller, we can't keep an eye on it for you, so bring it at your own risk.
Swim Programs
Learn to Swim
NYC Parks offers free swimming lessons for people of all ages throughout the summer.
Lap Swimming

Embattled presidential candidate Herman Cain 's personal lawyer, Lin Wood, said in an interview Tuesday that he believes his client is telling the truth that he did not have a 13-year-affair with an Atlanta woman named Ginger White.
Wood, who said that Cain has not made a decision yet about whether to stay in the race, said he doesn't expect his client to address the controversy again in public because there is nothing more to say beyond his denial. Instead, Wood expects Cain to focus on his schedule of campaign events and on making a decision about his political future, which Cain said he would do by the end of the week.
Wood has not ruled out advising Cain to take legal action against White, who, in an interview on the Atlanta Fox News affiliate Monday, alleged that she and Cain were in an intimate relationship for more than a decade.
"That's a decision that can be made down the road," Wood said. "I think the immediate consideration is to focus on his family and his campaign. There's no rush to take legal steps."
Wood said Cain met White at a conference, and they became friends. He questioned White's credibility and expressed frustration that, as a lawyer, he cannot interview her or subpoena records to show that she is not telling the truth. White, who said her relationship with Cain included trips to resorts and lavish gifts, offered no specific dates or other evidence of the alleged meetings.
"That's part of the problem," Wood said. "You don't have the ability to engage in that type of a discovery and investigative process when you're in a court of public opinion. If I were in a court of law I'd have the ability to exact specific information from her on cross- examination. I'd have the ability, through the power of discovery, to look for the documentation that would refute her claims."
Wood also raised doubts about the plausibility of White's account of the alleged affair because it would have spanned a period of time when Cain was battling stage four colon cancer — a fact that she did not mention in her interview.
Wood also said his suspicion is that White was motivated by money. She had asked Cain several times for help with her rent and car payments, and he obliged, Wood said.
Ultimately, Wood said, "the public will have to decide whether they believe Mr. Cain or Ms. White" — because he is not aware of any documentation that could definitively disprove the charge.
"If we're going to allow our system of justice or our political process to deteriorate to the point where an individual is deemed guilty by accusation, then that puts every public figure, political candidate and private individual at risk," Wood said. "If this derails his campaign, and I hope it does not, other candidates need to take notice. Because it will happen again. It's just a matter of time."

Evaluation of the Encouraging Better Practice in Aged Care (EBPAC) Initiative
Department of Social Services
Duration: September 2012 – May 2015
Download the final report
Fildes D, Westera A and Masso M, Gordon R, Grootemaat P, Williams K, Morris D, Kobel C and Samsa P (2015) Evaluation of the Encouraging Better Practice in Aged Care (EBPAC) Initiative: Final Report. Centre for Health Service Development, Australian Health Services Research Institute, University of Wollongong.
The Encouraging Better Practice in Aged Care (EBPAC) program was funded by the Australian Government over three rounds with the aim of encouraging the uptake of evidence-based practice in both the residential and community aged care sectors. This Round Three initiative is an extension of the former Encouraging Best Practice in Residential Aged Care (EBPRAC) Program (Rounds 1 and 2) which funded 13 projects focusing solely on residential aged care.
The EBPAC program consisted of eleven projects with the broad objective of achieving practice and evidence-based improvements for people receiving aged care services, staff providing those services, the aged care system and the broader community. The majority of projects were funded for a two and a half year period between June 2012 and December 2014. There were three broad groups of projects: leadership and organisational change; evidence translation in community care; and evidence translation in residential aged care.
What we did
Our evaluation resulted in a better understanding of what works in aged care, and what needs to be in place in order for innovations to succeed. The heterogeneous and dynamic nature of the aged care sector means there is no one simple formula to facilitating change in a consistent and coherent manner. The complex interaction between consumer, workforce, organisational and systemic factors will continue to pose challenges to the provision of evidence-based practice and will need to be explicitly addressed to ensure that the benefits of any future investments are realised. What is clear from the emerging research evidence, and the experience of the EBPAC program however, is that the development of resources and delivery of education alone will not lead to sustainable outcomes. We were also able to highlight the importance of stakeholder input and multi-level strategies to support implementation and sustainability.
What was clear from the overall program evaluation was the importance of any new initiative to be underpinned by the evidence regarding implementation. There is no doubt that the EBPAC program has built capacity amongst the many project leaders, team members and participants; developed and strengthened intra- and inter-sector partnerships; and, significantly, initiated and/or revived enthusiasm and commitment amongst those directly responsible for the day to day support and care of aged care clients. However, it is apparent that such sector development initiatives need to be coordinated across government and in partnership with stakeholder representatives to ensure the multiple perspectives are appropriately captured, optimise learnings and avoid duplication of effort. Also, any future sector development initiatives need to reflect contemporary evidence-based practice and utilise multi-level interventions if they are to succeed.
Collectively, the three rounds of EBPAC represented a significant investment to improve the delivery of evidence-based practice for aged care recipients whether they reside in a facility or in the community. Aged care workers were upskilled through their participation in training events such as workshops. Tools were developed to promote organisational uptake of the innovations and effort was made to align innovations with regulatory frameworks and strategic reforms.

If you're looking for action, the place to find it will be the 2014-2015 Mirvish subscription season.
Dancing newsboys and prancing drag queens, merry men and lustful academics, doomed mariners and malcontented boomers, even a guy who works in Barbra Streisand's basement. They'll all be on display in Toronto next season.
Pride of place goes to the Canadian premiere of Kinky Boots, the 2013 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, which opens in May 2015 with a Toronto-based cast belting out the songs of Cyndi Lauper and dispensing the zingers of Harvey Fierstein's book.
Based on the 2005 British film, it tells the story of an uptight young man who discovers who he is when he inherits his father's dying shoe business and revitalizes it by turning it into a niche manufacturer of boots for drag queens.
Another show with high dance energy is the smash hit Disney musical Newsies, a Tony winner for score and choreography, coming in July 2015.
This is also based on a movie, this one a 1992 tuner, also opened up for the stage by Fierstein. Set in New York City at the turn of the century, it places a strike by underpaid newsboys in the middle of the great newspaper wars and tells an inspiring story of fighting for what you believe in.
Idealism of another kind is behind Titanic the Musical, a new chamber revival of the 1997 show by Maury Yeston and Peter Stone, which won the Best Musical Tony that year. Released before James Cameron's epic film, it tells the story of the people on board the doomed luxury liner in 1912 and how the dreams of its designer, its captain and its owner all conflicted tragically to result in a horrible loss of life.
This new vision of the show by director Thom Southerland was a big hit in London last year and is headed for Broadway following its Toronto run, beginning this July.
Tom Stoppard's intellectual hurricane of a play, Arcadia, set simultaneously in two centuries and around a whole stageful of intellectual concepts, was a sold-out hit at the Shaw Festival last summer and will return with its director, Eda Holmes and its entire cast both intact, to the Royal Alexandra Theatre in November.
Dazzlingly witty, provocatively intellectual and yet somehow heartwarming, Arcadia manages to tap the best of all that Stoppard is capable of and the Shaw Festival company did it full justice.
Two more British imports, Our Country's Good and The Heart of Robin Hood, will grace the Royal Alex stage in September and December, respectively.
The first is a 25th anniversary revival of Timberlake Wertenbaker's award-winning play about the 734 convicts who were sent to colonize Australia in 1788. This production will be guided by its original director, Max Stafford-Clark.
The second is a musical commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company, which truly deserves that much abused adjective, "madcap." These Merry Men rob from the rich but keep it themselves, in a tuneful romp with a score by roots band Poor Old Shine.
There will also be a "mystery" musical filling the Princess of Wales Theatre in December, chosen from one of the hits now running on Broadway. Will it be the tuneful Beautiful: The Carole King Musical? The witty A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder? The hit revival of Cinderella, currently starring Carly Rae Jepsen? Wait and see.
Things are also bustling in the third Off-Mirvish season, with a Canadian production of last season's Tony Award winner for Best Play, Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike by Christopher Durang, filling the Panasonic Theatre with laughter in March 2015.
Rick Miller, the comic genius behind MacHomer and Bigger Than Jesus, brings us Boom, a one-man look at the crazy world of the baby boomers, January 2015 at the Panasonic.
And last, but surely not least, Jonathan Tolins' hilarious off-Broadway hit, Buyer & Cellar, will come to the Panasonic in November. What does a desperate out-of-work actor do in Los Angeles? He goes to work in the basement of Barbra Streisand's Malibu home. Don't ask. You have to be there.
There will also be bonus off-subscription productions of The Book of Mormon, Wicked, Jersey Boys, Return to Grace, The Lion King and Dinosaur Zoo Live.

Joe Manganiello, the insanely brawny actor who plays—to the eternal gratitude of gay men everywhere—the werewolf Alcide in True Blood, made perhaps his most sizable impression as Big Dick Richie in 2012's Magic Mike. But apparently Manganiello hadn't gotten enough of the world of male stripping after filming wrapped; as Vulture covered yesterday, the actor is making his directorial debut with a documentary on the subject titled La Bare.
Here's the possibly NSFW "red band" trailer for the documentary (it's actually pretty tame, nudity wise).
Manganiello explained his excitement for the project in a statement to Vulture:
With La Bare, I had somehow sailed my way into uncharted waters and stumbled upon an island not recorded on any map … the completely misunderstood world of male entertainment.
With Magic Mike, we scratched the surface, and with La Bare, I had the opportunity to plumb the depths of this strange and provocative world hidden in plain sight.
La Bare is slated to arrive in theaters on June 27, a perfect vérité snack to tide us over until the fantasy beef meal that Magic Mike XXL promises to serve in summer 2015.

Remaking of Sunsetting Instrument Without Significant Amendments
Class Order Relief for Business Introduction or Matching Services – Australian Securities and Investments Commission
On 29 March 2017, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) remade the Class Order (CO 02/273) without significant amendments.
The Class Order 02/273 provides conditional exemptions from the fundraising and debenture requirements in the Corporations Act 2001 (the Act) for persons involved in making or calling attention to offers of securities through a business introduction service. It intends to facilitate the growth of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by reducing the regulatory burden of small-scale fundraising and assist SMEs to locate potential investors.
Consistent with Government's best practice regulation requirements for sunsetting instruments, ASIC has assessed the Class Order 02/273 is operating effectively and efficiently. Therefore, a Regulation Impact Statement is not required for remaking this class order without significant amendments.

jeffnz: yes it is off topic and you are really only splitting hairs, a government 'wins' an election based on seats, it really doesn't matter if 2 million vote or 1 thats the law, like it or not.
Sure. But my point was that winning an election is not the same as voter endorsement of specific policy.

Well, it looks like I've finally gone over to the dark side, and started a blog of my very own.
I guess it was inevitable. I've never really been able to shake the writing bug that started back when I was a kid, and manifested itself fully while in University. Same goes for the fantasy / sci-fi artist wannabe side of me. Together, along with my introduction to gaming that served as the catalyst between the two all those years ago (lets see... it was either Gamma World the RPG or Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader back in the mid eighties), and I was condemned to be a miniature painting geek and blogger from an early age.
Well, at least I've got a modest set of credentials behind me. Nothing like some of my mini-geek heroes (many of whom have been blogging for quite some time already... check out the "Blogs of Interest" listed on the right side of my blog), but I used to write a regular column for a website / community forum called, "Portent" way back in the day. It was the first big site to publish all sorts of rumours and sneak peek pics regarding Games Workshop games and models back in the '90s.
It started off when I joined a team of professional painters under the banner of "Brushworks" that was loosely affiliated with Portent. I had worked for a local GW retail store for about two years prior to that, gotten myself fired from that job, and then went on to win a few minor painting awards (runner up Best Army in the Toronto GT, Best Army in Seattle, etc.). I did some photo coverage for the Toronto GT for a major online retailer called Newwave Games (the owner, David Doust, is one of the people behind Coolminiornot.com now). While all that was going on, I managed to join one of the pre-eminent painting studios of the time, Brushworks, whose ranks contained the likes of Jason Richards (multi Golden Demon award winner and fellow Canadian), Mike Butcher (multi Best Army GW Grand Tournament winner), David Dresch (American with 4 GDs), Leigh Carpenter (Aussie with 2 Slayer Swords and well over 20 GDs), Tom Schadle (American with 1 Slayer Sword and over 20 GDs), and Jeff Wilson (American with 3 Slayer Swords and around 20 GDs), and ended up painting for a living (not a great living, mind you, but it paid my half of the rent).
The rest of my memory from that time is a bit fuzzy, but I think I noticed that many of Portent's regular editorial columnists weren't all that productive with regular posts. My writing bug kicked in, and I approached the owner / moderator, Pete Closs, and pitched a few articles. A short time later, I was posting all sorts of gaming and modelling related musings on a weekly basis (much like a modern blog, only hosted by a major hub of a website). I had quite the following, and spent much of my time responding to emails, which I loved (as it was a nice break from all that painting).
In the end, Brushworks folded when the owner ditched the business (for understandable reasons that had nothing to do with BW), and while the rest of us valiantly tried to keep the whole thing afloat (including a great Yahoo group where we swapped ideas and critiques of each other's work, thus improving each other's skills immeasureably), it just lost too much focus and slowly split at the seams. Portent followed suit shortly, which opened an Internet void that sites like DakkaDakka and Warseer quickly filled, and I found myself no longer painting for a living, and no longer writing for fun.
After a yearlong stint in the film industry (as an assistant casting agent... and no, there were no couches involved...), I found myself looking for a new direction once again. My buddy Chad Lascelles was in a similar situation, having ridden out the big Internet bubble (when web developing businesses were going boom and bust on a near daily basis), and we were sitting on a small dock at a mutual friend's cabin, tossing back beers, talking about how we both loved painting miniatures so much. Somehow that led to us forming a professional painting studio called Sorcerer Studios, and I was back to painting for a living once again.
Sorcerer Studios was everything Brushworks wasn't... the only thing they had in common was a decent amount of success (we were booked solid, and ran with a 3-4 month waiting list for projects), and a good chunk of the same clients. Brushworks artists worked alone, and corresponded and collaborated on projects only by email and by courier. We were scattered all over the globe. In contrast, Sorcerer Studios was two artists, working on either end of a used dining table in a spare room that was completely converted over to a dedicated studio. We got to work at 9am, and worked straight through till 5pm each day, 5 days a week (minimum). We freely passed projects back and forth between the two of us, and collectively came up with time estimates and price quotes. We did our best to run the thing like a serious business, and it was. Only it was a ton of fun too.
During the 4 years that Sorcerer Studios ran for, I got to work on all sorts of amazing projects. From individual character models for role playing games, to massive armies (I nearly went nuts doing 130 Mordor Orcs for one client), to giant Forgeworld models and terrain (super heavy tanks, mammoths, greater daemons, titans, etc.), to pre-release models for fledgling miniature lines (like Dark Age and IK-Warmachine), I practically painted every model ever released during that time. And we did it to as high a standard as we could... if it couldn't at least fit in to a "Best Painted" award winning army, it wouldn't get shipped until it could.
In the end, the business was still going strong, but we couldn't. It completely burned us out (well, it burned ME out at least... Chad was a painting machine). There were also some real life issues that proved to be bigger than our business, and so it was time to move on.
In the years that followed, I dabbled a bit here and there, teaching the occasional painting class, writing the occasional painting article and review (many for my friend Zac Belado, who was getting a website called, "Tabletop Gaming News" off the ground), and half-heartedly following what was going on in the miniature painting world. Overall though, I had a hard time dredging up the motivation to paint much.
Then, at the beginning of 2012, I took some classes taught by the incomparable Mathieu Fontaine. Some local gamers (organized by my friend Jason "Doc" Dyer) had flown him out to Vancouver from his home province of Quebec, and I found myself challenged in ways I hadn't forseen. His painting style and techniques, heck, his whole approach to painting was completely different from what I had done before. His painting philosophy was different. His vision of painting was different. In fact, even his accent was different (for one thing, he never pronounces the letter "h"... ever).
The whole "European painting style" was something that Eavy-Metal style traditionalists like myself just didn't get, but now I had an inkling about how they did it. I would force myself to abandon my tried-and-true techniques, and get out of my comfort zone.
And it inspired me to seek out every technique, product, or approach out there that I hadn't tried out yet. The resources available to the aspiring master painter were endless, unlike when I had first started out. I would tackle new things with every model I touched from here on out, with varying levels of success. Some things I would happily incorporate into my painting arsenal, others I would modify to suit my own personal tastes. It won't be like the French artists, or the English ones. It won't be like quite like Jennifer Haley's style, or Matheiu's, or John Blanche's, or anyone elses. It will have elements of all the artists I admire, but it won't pass for one of their works. In the end, I suspect I'll end up with a style that's not entirely like anyone elses, but I hope it'll make ME happy, at least.
So why "Sable and Spray" as a blog title?
Those are the two tools that I use most often to get paint on to models. The finest miniature painting brushes are made of hair from the Kolinsky Sable (a kind of Siberian Mink). The other tool that's making waves in this hobby is the airbrush, which has been a staple in military and large figurine modelling for quite some time, but is a relative newcomer to our teeny tiny models. Between the two, I came up with the title, "Sable and Spray"... it sounded good at the time, anyway.
So welcome to Sable and Spray. Here you will read about my misadventures in miniature painting, my thoughts regarding it, and the people and styles I currently admire and try and live up to. As a father and working man (no longer employed painting minis, thankfully), my actual painting time is limited, but my thoughts on the subject are endless.
Please enjoy and comment.

Using 2nd Generation LED optical engines and Mitsubishi Electric unique LED technology, the new 70 Series LED Video Wall cubes from Mitsubishi Electric offer excellent durability, lower power consumption and outstanding image performance in commercial and industrial applications.
At the core of the Mitsubishi Electric LED display walls are 7 key design concepts known collectively as the Smart 7. These are:
Smart LED - With Mitsubishi's proprietary optical system, brightness and colour are optimised for maximum light output efficiency and natural colour reproduction. Three brightness modes are available (Bright, Normal and Eco) to give users flexibility when choosing the best setting for the wall cube environment and application.
Colour Space Control - Mitsubishi Electric's original digital Colour Space Control circuit (or digital colour balancing and blending circuit), compensates for colour and brightness discrepancies between display cubes in a given array. Uniquely, the Colour Space Control circuit can adjust gain for Red (R), Green (G) and Blue (B) values in each primary colour(R/G/B) as well as other mixed colours, giving consistent colour blending and brilliance uniformity over a multi-screen configuration.
Without Colour Space Control With Colour Space Control
Digital Gradation Circuit - Mitsubishi Electric's original Digital Gradation Circuit can elevate the brightness level at the edges of a screen, where brightness usually drops down, in order to ensure the optimum brightness distribution and uniformity in a multi configuration display wall.
Without Digital Gradation Circuit With Digital Gradation Circuit
Tailor Made Systems- The Mitsubishi Electric LED display wall cubes are completely customisable to match any requirement and are available in 50, 60, 67, 70", 72" and 80" sizes. Video cubes can be ordered in completed form or in individual modules, comprising of a choice between cabinet, engine & screen configuration. The displays also have 3 optional input board slots. The line up of available input boards caters for all types of video inputs and system types, from simple to complex.
Built-in Processor - The internal processing of the current series of LED series has been radically improved upon that of its predecessors (50 Series). With the optional input boards, users can display up to 4 windows of any size per cube as well as on the entire display wall (the Desktop).This increases up to 6 windows per video cube if there is no Desktop image. Free placement of multiple image windows is possible without using an external processor. Used in conjunction with Mitsubishi Electric's optional "D-Wall" software, the entire imaging system can be controlled from an intuitive, user-friendly graphical interface.
Dynamic Colour and Brightness Balancing - Each Mitsubishi Electric LED video cube comes equipped with 3 built-in sensors (one for each primary colour) and an embedded Dynamic Colour & Brightness Balancing system. These built-in sensors continually monitor the individual Red, Green and Blue outputs of each cube, sharing this data with its neighbours and adjusting performance automatically to maintain an extremely accurate colour balance over the entire display. This system maintains the image uniformity of multi display wall cubes configurations over long periods of operation without an external computer.
Front Access Models - With the Mitsubishi Electric LED display wall series, front-access versions are widely available in Full HD (70") and WUXGA (62", 72") resolutions, as well as 50, 60 and 67 sizes for both XGA and SXGA+ resolutions. The specially designed slide & lift screen structure and the self aired ventilation system allows all the installation and maintenance work to be done from the front. No additional space behind the display wall cube is necessary.
Lower Cost of Ownership - The expected lifetime of the LED light source in the LED displays is approximately 60,000 hours or more. The service life of other components such as the fan pack has been significantly increased as well. Unlike traditional models, these LED systems don't require lamps and colour wheels, eliminating these consumables for lower cost of ownership.
Highly Reliable Optical System - Mitsubishi Electric's innovative LED display wall engine utilises an optical system and chassis box designed entirely in-house. It is the core of the display wall cube and key to the cube's high reliability and picture quality.
Smart Switch - The Mitsubishi Electric LED Series features a Smart Switch function to deliver the signal redundancy necessary for mission critical applications that require 100% uptime. If a signal unexpectedly disappears, the display wall automatically switches an alternative signal into operation (either Port-to-Port or Board-to-Board) a few seconds after the no signal status is detected. This function makes it possible for the user to minimise down time in the event of a signal source failure.
With all these features and more, Mitsubishi Electric LED wall cubes are the ideal solution for any large wall screen application.Back to Top

These 6 pie charts are overkill, as was the collection of bar plots shared on Variance Explained. What do folks really want to know from the survey results? How much time data scientists spend on the various tasks. Can you glean that information from the pie charts? Not easily.
Instead, a single bar chart could be used to show the average number of hours per day that the respondents spend on various tasks.
dat <- data.frame(
v1 <- c(11, 19, 34, 23, 27, 43),
v2 <- c(32, 42, 29, 41, 47, 32),
v3 <- c(46, 31, 27, 29, 20, 20),
v4 <- c(12, 7, 10, 7, 6, 5),
row.names = c("Basic exploratory data analysis",
"Data cleaning", "Machine learning/statistics",
"Creating visualizations", "Presenting analysis",
names(dat) <-
c("< 1 a week", "1-4 a week", "1-3 a day", ">4 a day")
# convert the categories to approximate no. hours per day
hrsperday <- c(0.1, 0.4, 2.5, 6)
If, in fact, there is some interest in the variability among the respondents (not just the averages), then a stacked bar chart could be used. Centering the bars on the midline better illustrates which tasks were most common.
likert(dat[rev(order(totals)), ],
xlab="Survey respondents (%)",

The AAA Service Project began at the 2011 Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado with a donation of 500 backpacks to the Denver School System. Every year since - thanks to the generosity of our members - the AAA has partnered with a nonprofit organization in the city where the Annual Meeting is held.
This year, the AAA is taking a more global approach by partnering with ShelterBox. Continuing our tradition of giving to those who may otherwise go without, donations collected will be used to provide emergency shelter and lifesaving equipment to survivors of a disaster or humanitarian crisis worldwide. As the largest community of accountants in academia, we are delighted and proud to be able to make a difference in the lives of so many families!
ShelterBox is the premier international disaster relief charity that provides immediate emergency shelter and other lifesaving aid to survivors of disasters such as earthquakes, volcanos, floods, hurricanes, cyclones, tsunamis or humanitarian crisis.
ShelterBox aid is tailored to each disaster but typically includes tented shelter, thermal blankets and groundsheets, water purification equipment, solar lights, cooking utensils, a tool kit, mosquito nets and children's activity packs.
ShelterBox Response Team members are highly-trained civilian volunteers who deploy with the aid and ensure it is delivered to the survivors who need it most. They distribute aid on the ground, working closely with local organizations, government officials, and international aid agencies. ShelterBox aid is transported by any means available: truck, boat, camel, sled, or by hand.
ShelterBox has deployed in the United States after Hurricane Katrina, Superstorm Sandy and after tornadoes in the Midwest.
ShelterBox has responded to some of the largest humanitarian crises the modern world has ever known: Hurricane Matthew in Haiti in 2016, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the Syria crisis, and the biggest storm to ever make landfall – Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013.
ShelterBox will only distribute aid on the basis of need and within safe operating parameters. Due to the nature of disaster work, ShelterBox is unable to accept location-specific or time-specific donations.

Doris Day, a leading box office star of the mid-20th century who achieved indelible fame in big-screen bedroom farces, died on Monday, May 13. She was 97. In 2012, Times columnist Patt Morrison spoke with the beloved singer and actress.
Add it all up, and Doris Day's singular singing voice has spent more than 11 years on the Billboard charts. Her three dozen-plus films made millions of fans and dollars. And now, after nearly two decades of living below the radar in Carmel, Doris Day is back on the charts. "My Heart" is a baker's dozen of songs from the vaults, many produced by her late son, Terry Melcher, who worked with the Byrds and who co-wrote and sang "Happy Endings" on the CD, and sang a second song on it with his mother. The proceeds from "My Heart" go to the Doris Day Animal Foundation, which supports her work protecting animals (that's a rescue dog in the 1993 photo). For that, she's broken a long silence, with a little catch in her voice when she speaks of her departed loved ones -- and, now and again, with that unmistakable throaty Doris Day laugh.
You've been on the charts so often, and here you are again. Take that, Lady Gaga!
[She chuckles.] Lady Gaga!
It's a surprise to me, I can tell you that, but it's thrilling. I'm hearing from people all over the world. And I'm so happy that my son was able to do something with me.
What is it like hearing your two voices together?
I was sort of used to that. When we talked about songs, he would always play the piano. We would sing together, and I loved his singing.
He wasn't a person who pushed himself. I used to say to him, "You should be singing and really using your talents." He was just shy about it. He's so good.
I miss him terribly, and when we put out the recording, it was difficult for me to hear.
There are two animal-related songs on the CD. One of them, "Stewball," is an old folk song about a racehorse. And didn't you have one of your dogs, Biggest, in mind when you recorded "You Are So Beautiful"?
I did. He was something else -- such a darling, precious doggie.
I knew Cleveland Amory, the writer and animal activist, and so did you. He used to talk about you and your critters.
I have some horses on his property in Texas right now. [The Doris Day Horse Rescue and Adoption Center, for abused and neglected horses, is on the grounds of the Black Beauty Ranch that Amory founded.]
Do you remember when you first had dogs?
When I was able to make a film! When I was [singing] on the bandstand, traveling all the time, I couldn't. So the minute I started my first film, I had a dog. Then I had another one. Oh, I had so many.
If I'd find a dog, I'd try to find the owner, of course, but it was mine! I just can't live without them, I love them so much. I have cats too. People call me all the time and say, "We know of a couple of cats people don't care for," and I say, "Bring them!" That's it -- two words. I'm always open for that.
During the making of "The Man Who Knew Too Much," in Morocco, you told Alfred Hitchcock to treat the animals in the film better. And he did.
He did. On the film, all the animals, the way they were treated -- it was not nice. Everybody got told, and everything changed. We turned the whole thing around.
Your work has changed animals' lives. How have animals changed your life?
I couldn't be without them. I couldn't. It's hard to explain. They are so true, and I love that.
You know, it's just a few weeks [ago] that I lost three [dogs] in a week. It's so hard; they should live forever. It's terrible their lifeline is so short. They're so precious. They just go so soon. I have a feeling that you love them the way I do.
I do. I am very sorry to hear about your dogs. I keep all my dogs' ashes, and when it's my turn, we'll all be mixed in together.
That's very sweet. I have [mine] all buried right in [an] area all fenced off for them.
You're from Cincinnati, and on this CD is the song "Ohio" -- "Why oh why oh why oh did I ever leave Ohio?" Then you lived for years in Beverly Hills, and now Carmel. Why oh why oh why oh did you ever leave Beverly Hills?
I loved it there. It was so comfortable and the days were lovely, but then it started changing so much. I wanted to be in a small town.
When Terry and I started walking around, up and down the streets [in Carmel], we didn't see any dogs. I looked at him and said, "You know, this is not a dog town."
And that's when I decided to get involved with the hotel [the Cypress Inn in Carmel, where pets are now allowed]. We found out that the gentleman who owned it decided he would like to have a partner, and that's how I brought all the dogs in.
Do you miss anything about performing?
I really enjoyed films. And I was kind of homesick to think about doing some films. [But] I just got so involved with animals that I didn't. I loved it here, and my son was here, and I could have all the doggies I wanted, and cats, so it's better to be here than in L.A., I think.
You're associated with a lot of classic songs.
There were times when I wasn't too thrilled about the songs, but we had to do them because Columbia [Records] said, "You have to." But I was definite about doing the best that I could, and hav[ing] fun with it.
Would you name one you didn't like?
I lost those titles! I don't know where they went!
Do you sing to yourself?
Oh any time, and anywhere.
What do you sing?
Anything that I know. I knew just about every song there was, but I don't now.
"Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries" -- also on the CD -- is one you've been singing for more than 70 years.
When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang. We had to put a dance to a song, so I went to the 10-cent store one day and looked at all the sheet music.
It was all laid out, and I picked "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries." I asked the lady [working in the store] if she could play that for me; this little elderly lady played "da, da, da, da, da, doo, doo."
It was fast and I thought, "This is going to be nice for me to dance to." Everybody liked it, and it was done in a very fast tempo.
And then [years later] I put it the way it was supposed to be, soft and lovely. It was my favorite. It took me back to when I sang it as a little girl.
Your movies are still popular. Do you miss acting?
It was just a wonderful part of my life. I couldn't wait to get to work. Sometimes I think I should have stayed longer and I should have done more films. [But] I just got so involved with animals that I didn't.
You'd always be welcomed back.
As a grandma? [Day has one grandson.]
I certainly think so.
I could play grandmas.
I'm not an old lady, and yet I'm up there in years, but I don't feel like that at all.
Do you ever watch your movies?
I've been looking at my old films recently, now that you mention it.
Are you watching like a fan or an actress?
I watch them like I'm there. I never did that when I was making films -- I never saw them. I'm having a lot of fun seeing them now. I [analyze myself] and think, "Um hm, what am I going to do with this?" I laugh when I'm laughing in the scene. I laugh sitting in my chair watching.
If you could wave a wand, what would you wish the world to do for animals?
I would like for people to know they're part of the family -- and [for animals to have] the best life they could ever have.

We had a really nice Halloween. On Sunday we carved our pumpkin, and on Wednesday we trick-or-treated at about three houses and then headed to our church for a big carnival thing they were having there. It was extremely well done and amazing, and Jonah had a great time. I so wish I could share Little G's photos too. Just mark my words, he was adorable. Jonah was a fireman and G was his little dalmatian fire dog. But everyone kept saying what a cute cow he was. NOT A COW. I told him to wake up already and start barking.
Without further ado.
He smelled it, gagged, and then went to the other end of the deck until it was completely cleaned out.
Ahhhhh. That's better.
Matt cleans it out. I carve it. Marriage is all about compromise.
Maybe my favorite.
I love all three of my boys so much. I'm actually in Texas (Thurs-Sunday) for a girls' weekend. I'm happy to be here, getting a peaceful, fun, sweet time with my girls and Jesus, but I sure do miss them. Editing all these photos (and all of the ones with G and our whole family) didn't help. :)

FAO and UNAIDS: Working together to fight AIDS
The best way of checking the spread of HIV/AIDS worldwide is an approach that addresses the relationships between the medical aspects of the disease, its consequences for development and the socio-cultural factors that contribute to its transmission, said du Guerny. FAO and UNAIDS will undertake a series of joint activities, including integrated prevention programmes that will help spread information, especially to young men and women, about HIV vulnerability, risk reduction and sustainable rural development.
AIDS cripples agriculture and rural communities
FAO has focused on the crippling effects AIDS is having on agriculture and rural communities, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. There, nearly 23 million people, about 63 percent of the world's total, are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Labour-intensive farming systems with low levels of mechanization are particularly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, because of its high death rate among working-age people. In addition, those afflicted with AIDS become increasingly unable to carry out their usual farm work as the disease progresses.
In Africa, HIV is typically transmitted through heterosexual sex, so often both parents become infected. The burden of caring for the sick, which typically falls on women, means that less time is available for tending crops. Children may be taken out of school to help the family cope, thereby mortgaging their future and isolating these children and their families from useful AIDS information. Important farm tasks such as weeding and pest control are left undone, and fields become less productive. Farm families earn less and less income precisely at a time when they need it most.
Declining incomes can force members of farm families to look for work in cities, and this rural/urban migration helps fuel the spread of the disease. A vicious circle develops, as HIV/AIDS increases rural poverty, which in turn contributes to the transmission of HIV.
"What is starting to emerge is the potential indirect but very important role that agricultural policies and programmes can play in mitigating the effects of HIV/AIDS in rural communities, by alleviating rural poverty, empowering rural women and encouraging changes in migratory movements," points out du Guerny. "This is an area where FAO may be able to make a key contribution in the fight against AIDS while promoting food security."
A recently published FAO report, HIV/AIDS and the commercial agriculture sector of Kenya: Impact, vulnerability, susceptibility and coping strategies, shows that the disease is affecting not only small family farms but also large agricultural estates. Kenya's commercial agricultural sector is losing a significant number of skilled workers, and companies are spending increasing amounts of money on medical expenses and employee retraining.
'Youth against Hunger' highlights threat to young people
Half of the new cases of HIV infection strike people under the age of 25. This fact has serious implications for food security, as young people play an important role in agricultural production. This year's theme for World Food Day, 'Youth Against Hunger', is raising awareness about the threat AIDS poses to young people and how it can undermine global efforts to reduce hunger.
Mr William Seiders, Rural Youth Officer with the FAO Sustainable Development Department's Extension, Education, and Communication Service, says, "With training and support, young people can play an active part in reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS in their towns and villages. They can become tomorrow's community leaders in the struggle for rural development and the fight against hunger."

Gilad Atzmon was born in Israel in 1963 and had his musical training at the Rubin Academy of Music, Jerusalem (Composition and Jazz). As a multi-instrumentalist he plays Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxes, Clarinet and Flutes. His album Exile was the BBC jazz album of the year in 2003. He has been described by John Lewis on the Guardian as the "hardest-gigging man in British jazz". His albums, of which he has recorded nine to date, often explore political themes and the music of the Middle East.
Until 1994 he was a producer-arranger for various Israeli Dance & Rock Projects, performing in Europe and the USA playing ethnic music as well as R&R and Jazz.
Coming to the UK in 1994, Atzmon recovered an interest in playing the music of the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe that had been in the back of his mind for years. In 2000 he founded the Orient House Ensemble in London and started re-defining his own roots in the light of his emerging political awareness. Since then the Orient House Ensemble has toured all over the world. The Ensemble includes Eddie Hick on Drums, Yaron Stavi on Bass and Frank Harrison on piano & electronics.
Also, being a prolific writer, Atzmon's essays are widely published. His novels 'Guide to the perplexed' and 'My One And Only Love' have been translated into 24 languages.
Over the years Gilad Atzmon's music has moved more and more towards a cultural hybrid. As a bandleader and reed player he has been amazing his listeners with his powerful personal style that combines great bebop artistry and Middle-Eastern roots in a sophisticated, sometimes ironical manner. Influenced by Coltrane's powerful approach on the sax, Gilad's live performances are simply breathtaking and overwhelming.
Gilad's latest album 'In Loving Memory of America' was highly praised by the British music press. Here are just a few quotes:
"Atzmon's fluid lyricism is in full flow on songbook classics and worldly originals. But as sweet romance morphs to modernist uncertainty, the bittersweet balance and rich emotional palette equally impress." Financial Times ***** March 2009
As a member of the Blockheads, Gilad has also recorded and performed with Ian Dury, Robbie Williams, Sinead O'Connor and Paul McCartney. Gilad has also recorded with Robert Wyatt, the Water Boys and many others. In 2007 Gilad extended his role as a Producer, working with outstanding singer-songwriter Sarah Gillespie to produce her debut album released in September 2009.
In 2008-9 Gilad also produced the Brazilian percussion star Adriano Adewale. The multi ethnic Irish band Yurodny and is currently producing the UK legendary bass player Norman Watt-Roy's debut album.

The Cowboys are taking the week off from playing games, but there's no rest for the turnover that's been going on along the defensive line all season.
Dallas shuffled up the deck up front once again on Tuesday, signing defensive tackle Corvey Irvin and saying goodbye to defensive end Caesar Rayford. Irvin was one of several players who worked out for the Cowboys on Tuesday and impressed the team enough to earn a job.
Irvin was a third-round pick of the Panthers in 2009, but moved onto being a journeyman after playing just two games with Carolina. He spent time with the Jaguars in 2011 and played 12 games for the Buccaneers last season before spending training camp with the Bears this year. He didn't make the team and was out of work until Tuesday.
The Cowboys traded a conditional draft pick to Indianapolis to acquire Rayford, who flashed some strong pass rushing skills in the preseason. They never showed up in the regular season, however, and the former CFL player wasn't seeing much playing time even with the myriad injuries the Cowboys have had to deal with up front.

The powerful owl (Ninox strenua) is Australia's biggest owl species. It's big, with big claws.
|Meet Powl. Look at those claws!
When it looks at you it seems to be measuring you with its gaze, and I could swear it's wondering whether it could take you on. Can I eat it? it seems to ask.
Powl sees you.
Those owls are normally found in forests, yet Powl lives in a park neighbouring a bowling club. Powl lives alone and it is currently not known whether it's a boy or a girl. I like to refer to Powl as "she" (I can blame it on owl being a feminine word in my mother tongue). She might be a bit lonely, but she is probably not struggling for prey around this area.
|Powl with dinner. Can you spot the possum?
The lovely COG birders have introduced me to Powl and I have been visiting her every few days with hope of getting some decent images I could share with you. She is snoozing peacefully most of the time I see her and I've got lots of "bum" shots. She likes to tuck her head into the feathers and can be fairly tricky to spot when sitting completely still high up in the trees, between all the foliage and branches, but as with all bird photography patience and perseverance seems to be the key to success.
|She can be cute when she wants to. I bet that's how she lures the unsuspecting prey into the park.

Originally for women. Predominantly worn by men. Often worn by gangsters, superheroes and popstars. The fedora is now a style must for toddlers too! Check out how Kingsley, Mia and Alexa rock the fedora. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of fedoras and had Kingsley in them all summer. We even have a darker, fall appropriate fedora for him. As it's starting to get colder, we're starting to transition him to warmer hats (i.e. toques and trapper hats). I've also included some great winter hat options below to consider as it gets colder.
Kingsley normally wears Romeo's company toques in the winter (yes, he has a giant head and fits into his Dad's hats - LOL) but here are some really cute winter hat options:
