I like to cook, most of the time, but I have always been afraid of yeast.
I had pretty much disavowed the use of yeast, at least by me.
Then Texas Monthly Magazine came out and within its pages was a recipe for kolaches. Unusual. TM is not a cooking book.
I love kolaches. I had never seen a kolache until I moved down to this end of the state, a community of variety and charm.
I fell in love with kolaches at meetings of the board of trustees at College of the Mainland. One of my newspaper beats, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Not only was there usually something interesting going on, frequently something controversial, but there also were, at every meeting, kolaches.
Helen Foster was the secretary to the president and I always assumed, though I never asked, that it was she who ordered the meeting-time kolaches.
I don't know where she got them because I have not been able to locate any since — at least not south of Houston. And I am not going to drive to Houston just for kolaches, much as I enjoy them.
Then here came the recipe, and I decided I ought to at least try to make them.
At a church social I was talking about this brave decision when a fellow diner said I should call his wife, also named Cathy, to come help me.
I didn't call her, even in the throes of kolache creation.
I went to the store, bought dried apricots, as suggested, along with special bread flour and the mysterious little packets of yeast.
The first direction, for making the filling, called for the apricots to be soaked in boiling water for six hours. Six hours.
I mixed the yeast bowl of stuff. I mixed and heated the milk pan of stuff. I mixed the egg stuff. I mixed the crunchy stuff. I added up all the mixing time and all the resting and rising and figured out by the time I got all those things done, the apricots would be soft enough.
And sure enough, adding cups of flour and letting things rest, it all came together and I patted out and buttered and made indentions and scooped filling and sprinkled crunchies and there were kolaches, baked in two big sheet pans.
Not like the ones you buy. But not too bad.
However, once is enough.
Kolache, anyone?

We spent Tuesday in the Amazon rainforest.
We canoes out to a wildlife sanctuary, where we were greeted by playful squirrel
monkeys and rehabilitated woolly monkeys and Capuchin monkeys. Capuchin monkeys
are meant to be the most intelligent of the
We went on a short hike through the
rainforest. We saw Hairdresser bees (so called because they can't sting but
they swarm into your hair and pull on it), tiny poison arrow frogs, rubber trees
(locals make toy balls from it), Drago's Blood (the sap of the tree is used to
treat sore throats), Santo Maria Palm (boiled and used to treat bruises), palms
that are used for weaving and termite nests.
The forest around here was not the old
growth rainforest of the deep Amazon, but 25 year old secondary forest,
although there were some older iron wood trees that housed bromeliads.
After our walk we went back to the boat and drifted down the river in rubber tubes, watching eagles soar above us, river turtles basking and squirrel monkeys playing on the shore.
We had a swim in the pool after lunch, and
then visited a local tribal house where they gave us a demonstration of their
cooking, skill at the blow pipe and their pottery making (while the kids were
distracted playing with a rhinoceros beetle). The most famous craft of the
Amazon Indians was the creation of shrunken heads, which were made by cutting
off the heads of enemies, opening the scalp and removing the skull and other
bones by crushing them and withdrawing them. The flesh was then filled with hot
sand, sewn up, and coated with the juice of a local berry to preserve it. As
the skin dried and shrank, the head was reopened, a little sand was removed,
and it was resealed, keeping sure to preserve the features by reworking the
flesh into the sand. When it shrank to 1-2 inches it was finally smoke-cured.
Rather than shrunken heads we bought a small pottery bowl and a bottle of Drago's

Galilee Export was established in 2011 by farmers with a working history of 50 years under the auspices of the parent umbrella organization – Milouot cooperation. In light of changes which took place that year in the Israeli agriculture export structure, the Milouot growers decided to establish their own export company to market their fresh agricultural products (the western north part of the country) all over the world. As Galilee Export's "growers' organization" business structure meets the global trend of direct commercial connections between growers and the markets, it creates a mutual advantage for both customers and growers who see their vision come true.
The farmers at Galilee Export grow various agricultural crops such as Avocado, Persimmon (Sharon Fruit), Carrot, Grapefruit and easy peelers, Sweet Potato, Litchi / Lychee, Mango, Grapes, Pepper, Pomegranate and Medjool Date. Galilee Export owns one of the biggest packing houses in Israel for Avocado, Citrus, Litchi and other fruits. The packing house handles over 30,000 tons of fruit per year. About 70% of the production is for export, mainly to Europe. The agricultural products export company and packing house have been granted mandatory quality standards certifications and respectively comply with the required standards in various markets throughout Europe and Worldwide.
Galilee Export has attracted and recruited managers and sales marketing personnel, all highly skilled with many years of experience in both marketing and selling fresh agricultural produce, dealing with export markets in Europe, Russia, Japan, the United States and other countries. The company's minimum sales turnover forecast for 2012, the first year of operation, is $70 million, with an estimated 10% percent incremental growth YoY (year over year),with all products marketed under the Galilee Export brand label.

By Yessenia Soto, Rainforest Alliance
Between late 1518 and early 1519, the cacique Enriquillo, chief of the Jaragua district in the Dominican Republic, led a famous rebellion against the Spaniards. Enriquillo was a Taíno Indian who was educated and indoctrinated by the colonizers, but he confronted them to end the abuses they were committing against his people. The chief was joined by other indigenous peoples and together they went to Sierra de Bahoruco, a mountain range in the southwestern part of the island whose dense forests and terrain were a challenge for his adversaries. There they fought as rebels for more than a decade, turning the mountains into a war zone that the Spaniards never managed to conquer. A peace agreement was signed in 1533.
In addition to its rich history, Sierra de Bahoruco is now considered the most biologically important area in the country and one of the most important in the Caribbean. The mountains are home to the highest diversity of wild plants and animals on the island and they contain several ecosystems such as dry forests, broadleaf forests, and pine forests. Sierra de Bahoruco continues in Haiti as the Massif de la Selle and is part of the Massif de la Selle-Jaragua-Bahoruco-Enriquillo Bi-national Corridor.
In 1983, Sierra de Bahoruco National Park (SBNP) was created to protect 413 square miles (1,069 km2) of the mountains. Some 668 plant, 24 reptile, six amphibian, 112 bird, and 12 mammal species have been reported in the park. Unfortunately, some of these species are endangered or threatened due to the effects of climate change, increasing human pressures, and a lack of effective park management. Endemic and migratory birds found in the mountains, such as the bay-breasted cuckoo (Coccyzus rufigularis) and the migratory Bicknell's thrush (Catharus bicknelli), as well as the island's renowned endemic mammal, the Hispaniolan solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus), are all endangered.
The main human cause of environmental degradation near SBNP is illegal deforestation for agriculture and extraction for charcoal, mainly in areas outside the park and in the broadleaf forests of the mountains' southern slope.
"There are poor people who do this because they don't have farmland or job opportunities in the area, and there are also some commercial farms within the protected area. Another problem is the lack of clear park boundaries," says Jorge Brocca, director of the Sociedad Ornitológica de La Hispaniola (SOH Conservation), an organization that promotes the protection and conservation of biodiversity in the Dominican Republic and Haiti through research, education, training, and strengthening protected areas.
Besides habitat loss and further threatening a number of wildlife species, Brocca said that environmental services that are vital for humans are also at risk. The SBNP is a key area for carbon sequestration on the island, protecting water sources that supply water and hydroelectric energy to the population in the south, and generating local income from tourism, as Sierra Bahoruco is considered the premier site for bird-watching in the Dominican Republic.
In 2011, SOH Conservation decided to start a project to help conserve the park. With support from the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF), the American Bird Conservancy (ABC), Fundación Tropigás Natural, and the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources of the Dominican Republic, the organization is working to been able to reduce the incidence of major threats that affect the northern slope of SBNP.
SOH Conservation is working with the Ministry of Environment on improving the monitoring, control, surveillance, and management of the park. First, they installed gates at some of the park entrances, which are watched over by park rangers or military personnel. They also negotiated the hiring of more park rangers and the funds to properly equip them; they donated three motors, radio equipment, and several GPS units; and managed to have nearly the entire area guarded round-the-clock. SBNP now has 27 park rangers and administrative staff, and 50 Haitian and Dominican brigade members hired to support these and other tasks. SOH Conservation and the Ministry of Environment train all park personnel.
Thanks to these efforts, there is greater control of tourist movements and vehicle traffic on the international route that crosses the park, and some invaders have been identified and reprimanded.
In addition, SOH Conservation helped establish a successful partnership with Fundación Tropigás Natural, which now donates some of the gasoline the park rangers use at their checkpoints. "Before, these rangers had to cut trees for firewood. How could they ask the communities not to cut down trees when they were doing it themselves? Now they are leading by example," said Brocca.
Working closely with the communities near SBNP is one of the project's greatest achievements. "When we started, we went to ask the mayor of Duvergé for support, and he told us that we could count on him but he warned us that the community was not interested in 'that conservation stuff', said César Abrill Cáceres, SOH Conservation's on-site coordinator for the northern slope.
These communities are surrounded by the SBNP and other protected areas such as the Loma Charco Azul Biological Reserve, Lago Enriquillo National Park, and the Gran Sabana National Park, which is why they feel they don't have enough land for agriculture or other economic opportunities. Abrill says this is why they usually view parks as an obstacle to their welfare and rangers as "bad cops".
Over the years, with support from CEPF and ABC, SOH Conservation has held environmental education workshops in the local schools and had talks with youth groups, cooperatives, community associations, and local leaders to educate them about damage to the forest and motivate them to conserve its resources. As a result, a group of volunteers was formed that already has about 70 members, brigade members were trained for reforestation tasks and to support park rangers, and they have successfully held the "Festival de la Cúa" (Cuckoo Festival) for several years, largely organized by local youth and sponsored in part by small businesses.
To provide economic alternatives, the Puerto Escondido Guide Association was created with a group of 12 naturalist guides who will soon give tours in the park, and a business plan was prepared to develop and promote ecotourism in Sierra de Bahoruco. Communities and entrepreneurs are being trained to create coordinated, profitable, and sustainable tourism.
Together with Fundación Tropigás Natural and the Ministry of Environment, work is being done on a project to bring subsidized gas to about 4,000 families in the communities of Puerto Escondido, which will be key to reducing deforestation in the park. Further, a municipal conservation plan will soon be developed and there is a proposal to create a municipal conservation network. Abrill says that now it is the same mayor who is telling the story about their first encounter when he talks about the great progress made by these communities. They now believe that local communities are the park's best conservation asset.
SOH Conservation estimates that threats to the northern slope of SBNP have been reduced by 70%, but they still face many challenges. Brocca explains that key priorities are strengthening local governance, defining the park boundaries, and doing more work with private landowners to gain their respect, as well as to create and implement more sustainable economic alternatives for local communities.
In addition, four months ago they started work in the southern part of the park, and hope to replicate the successes they've achieved in the park's northern slope. A conservation committee was formed with local communities and governments of both the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and a nursery with fruit and timber trees was created for use in the reforestation and restoration of degraded lands inside and outside the protected area. The Ministry of Environment hired a brigade of Haitians and Dominicans for restoration work and to conduct monitoring and surveillance activities in this part of the park. They are also going to build two checkpoints for the park rangers.
"This a long-term project because we want to achieve long-term results", added Brocca. "More than a conservation project, this is now a conservation alliance between the public and private sectors and the civil society, all committed to save this key biodiversity area."

Illinois Wills and Trusts Lawyers
Wills and trusts are two of the most important tools in building an estate plan. While most people understand the purpose and function of a will, many people are not familiar with how trusts work. Wills and trusts are used for similar purposes, but they operate very differently. At the law firm of Mulyk Laho Law, LLC, our attorneys are knowledgeable about all aspects of estate planning including working with both wills and trusts. We also help clients modify wills and trusts as part of divorce proceedings.
Contact the Wills and Trusts Attorneys at Mulyk Laho Law, LLC at (630) 852-1100
A will is a legal document that specifies your wishes for your estate after your death. In it, you describe your assets, prescribe what will happen to those assets, appoint a guardian for minor children and dependants and assign an executor to make sure your wishes are carried out. If your will goes into probate, the court determines the validity of the will and administers the property of estate. In probate, part of the estate is lost to taxes and often attorney fees.
Understanding the Function of a Trust
A trust differs from a will in that property does not go through probate after your death. With a trust, your assets are transferred into the trust while you are alive. You retain control of the trust until your death. Upon your death, your heirs inherit whatever remains in your trust. You name a trustee to oversee the trust and follow the rules you have established. Trusts may help those with significant assets because their heirs can avoid probate and save on Federal taxes. At Mulyk Laho Law, LLC, we are experienced in managing both wills and trusts and can offer counsel on how to best structure your estate plan.
If you are in need of an attorney that concentrates in the area of family law, estate planning or any of our other practice areas, contact Mulyk Laho Law, LLC at (630) 852-1100 or by email to make an appointment for a consultation.

Forget the lack of movement on the scoreboard in this instance, and just focus on the reasons why it stayed that way.
Skaneateles and Oswego played to an anything-but-boring 0-0 tie Friday night in a Division II boys' hockey game in front of a big, enthusiastic crowd at Allyn Arena.
The top two teams in the league combined for 48 shots on goal, many coming from close range. Goaltenders Ethan Kupp (Skaneateles) and Chase Izyk (Oswego) worked hard for their shutouts.
"If you thought that game was boring you don't know anything about hockey," Lakers coach Mitch Major. "That was a highly anticipated event. Both teams showed up. A 0-0 game (between) the top two teams is very special."
Buccaneers coach Andy Rozak didn't mind returning home with one point instead of two.
"It was fun to be a part of," Rozak said. "It was an amazing crowd. It was intense, two good teams going at it. I thought both teams played well."
Rozak's team had the better of it to start. Kupp had to be sharp in a first period that Oswego held both a territorial, and shots (6-4) edge. Kupp backboned a 43-second stretch when the Bucs had a five-on-three power play.
Skaneateles found a better stride in the middle stanza. The Lakers outshot the visitors, 9-5, but still neither team could get on the board.
The third period was all Skaneateles. The hosts held a 12-4 edge in shots, and one of them hit the post, but again Izyk turned everything away, including a circus stop of a Jake Cooney shot just before regulation time expired.
The five-minute overtime didn't lack for excitement, either. Kupp was the first to stand out, as the Lakers senior stoned dangerous Oswego forward Justin Clark on a mini-breakaway. Clark was impressed, congratulating Kupp after the play.
Izyk had the post to thank a little later before twice turning aside close range shots.
"(Oswego) is such a hard team to finish off," Major said. "We gave it our best shot. We almost had them."
Kupp finished with 18 saves. It was his ninth shutout of the season. "Ethan has a come a long ways," Major said. "Big-time goalies make the big save when you need it and he did that. That's a big step for him.
Izyk stopped all 30 shots he faced. "He was on his game, too," Major said.
When the final buzzer sounded, Skaneateles maintained its two-point edge over the Bucs. The Lakers are 10-1-2 and Oswego is 9-1-2, but the Bucs hold the tiebreaker edge over Skaneateles, having defeated the Lakers, 5-3 back in December.
Still, neither coach is paying much attention to the regular season title race.
"That's not something we're thinking about," Rozak said. "We have a lot of work to do. We're just thinking about our next game."
"We just have to worry about our next game," Major said. "Wherever we end up. (that's where) we end up."
Skaneateles (13-1-3 overall) returns to the ice Wednesday to host Clinton at 7:30, all while paying attention to what happens with Oswego as it takes on two other main contenders, New Hartford and Auburn, next week.

I am not really surprised -- the riverboat cruises only have a capacity of 100-150 persons, which is a lot easier to sell than the big cruise ship with 2000 passengers. I would not be surprised if RSVP concentrates more on smaller ship cruises and lets Atlantis do the mega-ship cruises in the future.I hope not. I think it is very hard to generate enough revenue from a few 150 person sailings to support an operation of RSVP's size. I have to wonder if the entertainment in such a small venue would be up to standards they have set on larger vessels. A big part of the motivation for many is to belong to a mini-community of gay folks for a week - you would lose that sense of community on small ships.
RSVP seems to have focused on mid-size ships, almost exclusively Holland America Lines. With about 2000 gay-campers on board, I find this hits the mark for me - not too small to be boring, not too large to feel disconnected or lost.
It was clearly a mistake to book New Orleans for early February, way too cold to be of interest for a winter getaway. I hope with their marketing efforts they can fill the Eurodam to near capacity with the new itinerary. Each time I check, the list of available staterooms is shrinking.

Cellphone technology helped in murder probe
New London police used cellphone technology to apprehend Evan T. Holmes within hours of the shooting death of Jorge Rosa two years ago and later analyzed his phone calls and text messages for use in his prosecution.
Holmes, 22, is on trial in New London Superior Court for allegedly forcing his way into a third-floor apartment at 252 Montauk Ave. in New London on Nov. 12, 2011, and fatally shooting 25-year-old Jorge "Loco" Rosa in his bed. He has pleaded not guilty to home invasion, murder, felony murder, burglary and weapons charges.
On Friday, the fifth day of his trial, city police Detective Richard Curcuro testified that he contacted T-Mobile, the cellphone provider for Holmes and his alleged accomplice, Davion Smith, after Rosa's girlfriend identified them as the gunmen. Curcuro, tasked with helping locate the two suspects, said he provided their cellphone numbers to T-Mobile's law enforcement support staff and asked them to assist the police with "an exigent circumstance," or emergency.
The phone company notified police that Holmes' cellphone had "pinged" in the Old Saybrook area, and local police found Holmes' car at the Days Inn on Boston Post Road. Police arrested Holmes at gunpoint and took his companion, Shanice Sebastian, in for questioning. Police seized Sebastian's phone and later obtained a search-and-seizure warrant to extract the information it contained.
Detective Keith Crandall testified that he used a Universal Forensic Extraction Device, or UFED, which he said "basically sucks the information off your phone" and puts it into a file that can be used by police. Crandall said he was able to isolate Sebastian's phone activity for the 12-hour period before and after the 4 a.m. homicide.
Sebastian testified Thursday that Holmes picked her up at a friend's house about 4:30 a.m. and drove her to the Days Inn. The phone records indicated Sebastian exchanged phone calls and text messages with Holmes beginning at 4:31 a.m. At 9 a.m., she exchanged texts with a relative of Holmes', who told her, "Come home with Evan," Crandall testified. Sebastian responded "He's not going to go. He's scared (expletive)."
Also testifying Friday was Detective Frank Jarvis, who interviewed the young woman who was in bed with Rosa when he was killed. Jarvis said that about an hour after the shooting, Gabriela Gonzalez was crying and distressed when he began to question her at the police station. He said he did not immediately tell Gonzales that Rosa was dead because he needed to get information from her.
"I was under the impression that if I were to tell her he had died, emotionally she might just shut down," Jarvis testified.
Also Friday, Ryan Johnson, a friend of Rosa's, testified that he spent several hours with Rosa and Gonzalez, who picked him up in Norwich. Johnson said he returned with them to the Montauk Avenue apartment about 1 a.m., where he and Rosa smoked marijuana before Rosa and Gonzalez went to bed. Johnson said he arranged for a ride.
"I take it you were very high when you left the apartment?" defense attorney William T. Koch Jr. asked Johnson on cross-examination. "Yes," he responded.

I take Align once a day. It's OTC. I really think it helps. I do have a headache from the Apriso though and only excedrine kicks it. I know I should take tylenol but it's not doing the job.
On another note, I think I can stop the antibiotics now. The Align seems to have the right combo of pro-biotics.
Zanne, thanks for the info.
I just can't believe between the Apriso and the Align how much better I feel. I would say in the short time I'm taking both I'm about 50% better.
I ate something greasy yesterday expecting it to hurt me and it didn't.
I hope it's not mind over matter.

AMBULANCE workers are threatening strike action over concerns about the service.
Members of the Ambulance Service Union (ASU) have voted to notify Mersey Regional Ambulance Trust of their intent to hold a ballot for industrial action which could lead to a strike.
Union chiefs say their members saw no other alternative after managers ignored their concerns.
They now hope they can enter talks with the trust.
The concerns raised by ASU members are about:
. A new NHS pay structure - Agenda for Change - which will leave the longest serving out of pocket.
. A new system called Patient Centred Deployment, using new technology to predict where ambulances should be stationed to answer calls more efficiently. Staff claim it will see fewer ambulances on the road at times.
. Not being consulted over plans to request firefighters to attend emergency life-threatening calls - known as the co-responder scheme.
In addition, members of the ASU have taken a vote of no confidence in director of service Peter Tormey who is accused of taking decisions without properly consulting trade unions and the trust. Concern has also been raised about his management style.
ASU representative Steve Rice said: "We've written to the employer to inform them. We haven't had a response back yet.
"Our members are upset at what they see as putting a second rate service in its place."
More than 100 members of the ASU, which represents nearly 800 members of MRAT staff, met last Thursday to discuss their concerns. The call for industrial action came from the floor.
Meanwhile, the Fire Brigades Union has also voiced its opposition to the co-responder scheme and has written to management to say that members will not undertake coresponder duties.
A spokesman for MRAT said: " Today's news is disappointing but we remain committed to continuing discussions with the ASU and are confident of a successful outcome.
"We have no plans to cut services - far from it. Our modernisation programme is pushing forward investment in additional resources."

I've criticized the notion of an Article V Convention to rewrite the Constitution as an easy way for ALEC and other Legislature-buying corporate tyrants to trash the Bill of Rights and quash the government's ability to regulate the excesses of big business. Ken Santema alerts us that the School of Mines College Republicans (what?! you engineers and geologists have time for politics? your demanding profs may not be pleased) and the apparently Sioux Falls-based Restore Liberty Alliance are hosting Arizona State Senator Andy Biggs to talk about the dangers of holding an Article V Constitutional Convention. Senator Biggs speaks on the Mines campus in Rapid City tonight, then at the South Minnesota Hy-Vee (have the meatloaf!) in Sioux Falls Friday.
I don't know if Senator Biggs can can can—
—but he's surely con Con Con. His cleverly titled self-published book, The Con of the Con Con, argues against a Constitutional Convention out of fear that leftists would take it over and do more things counter to his conservative Mormon beliefs. Biggs shares the fiscal conservatism of the deficit hawks who want an Article V Convention to add a balanced budget amendment—an "accidental millionaire," Biggs in 2011 proposed ending Medicaid in Arizona, even though he conceded that "the health care system collapses" without socialized medicine—but Biggs says we can rein in the federal government without risking an open, Lefty-hijackable Constitutional Convention.
Biggs's book draws plenty of Teapot tempest:
From the title through the very last page, Andy denigrates and misrepresents his opposition (folks who would normally be his traditional conservative supporters), and offers non-sequiturs and straw arguments in order to disparage a tool which our Founders devised for reining in an out-of-control federal government: Article V of the US Constitution [Jeff Utsch and Barney Brenner, "Book Review of The Con of the Con Con by Arizona Senate President Andy Biggs," Western Free Press, 2015.06.15].
His hosts in Sioux Falls, the Restore Liberty Alliance, aren't exactly folks I'd want to run with. Their Facebook shares indicate they think Donald Trump is cleaning the political stables of manure, not simply spreading manure. The Restore Liberty Alliance also considers it important to read an essay that likens immigrants to "Third World Garbage" and asserts, "Since Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and Muslims will eventually become the predominant races in America, the chances of America remaining a Constitutional Republic are slim to none."
I don't want to have to wade through either side's muck. The only energy I will exert in the South Dakota Legislature on any call for an Article V Constitutional Convention will be to cry "Nay!" during roll call.

"Appointment Request"
About: Devon Access and Referral Team (DART) Devon Access and Referral Team (DART) Exeter EX1 1PQ
Posted by Tezzer (as ),
I received a letter with a unique booking code and password. I was told to ring the Devon Access and Referral Team (DART) and make my appointment for an Ophthalmology visit. I followed the instructions only to be told that they could not help me and that the Hospital needed to contact me direct.
What is the point of sending me a letter with all the admin and phone calls involved when clearly this would be of no use. I now await the hospital to contact me in two to six weeks and would like to bet that I hear nothing in that time.
Terrible service, total waste of time, and probably in the end I will need to go back to my GP and start again.
And I thought the NHS was improving.
Response from John Tovey, Business Manager, Devon Access & Referral Team 7 years ago
Dear Tezzer
Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback on your experience as it does help us in identifying areas to improve the service.
I am sure that this was a very frustrating experience for you and can understand why you felt that phoning DART was a waste of time as you have yet to receive an appointment.
Our main role at DART is to give patients advice on the choice of different hospitals available for your appointment, so that you can decide where you would like to go. Unfortunately, on some occasions the hospital chosen can be very busy and have no appointments available for us to offer. I suspect this is what has happened in your case. We are of course monitoring the extent to which this happens and working hard with all our local hospitals in Devon to try and minimise this problem.
Your referral would have been passed to the hospital you chose and they will be well aware of the need to find you an appointment. There should be absolutely no reason why you are not sent one, or any reason for you to go back to your GP in these circumstances. If you have not received an appointment within 4 weeks of phoning DART please do call our helpline and we will ensure that this is progressed so that you do not have to go back to your GP. You can contact us on 01626 883888 Mon-Fri 9am-5pm.
Once again, I apologise for the delay you have experienced and hope that your appointment arrives shortly.

Algeria Egyptinspired
February 12, 2011 by staff
Algeria Egyptinspired, Tunisia and Egypt people in Algeria have now taken to the streets despite a government ban on public demonstrations has been established since 1992.
On December 17, 2010, street vendor Tunisian Tarek el-Tayeb Mohamed Ben Bouazizi fire began to protest against the confiscation of his property repeated. It was the debt while trying to keep his small business afloat despite his property being confiscated on a regular basis.
His act was a catalyst that sparked street protests that saw the Tunisian people turn to protest against the autocratic government of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
Algerian battled riot police Saturday to pro-democracy demonstrators inspired by the popular uprising in Egypt, according to published reports.
Protesters stormed the center of Algiers, the capital; a day after demonstrations in Cairo Egypt forced the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak after 30 years of reign.
News reports said it was unclear how many people came to the event; organizers estimated that 10,000 were present when the government put the official turnout of 1,500.
The reports of arrests also varied in number from 400 to 1,000. Algerians took to the streets in January for five days to protest against high food prices.
In Egypt, the military leaders on Saturday pledged to abide by international treaties of the country, including its peace treaty with Israel, and adherence to peaceful transition elections.
(AFP) – Up to 2,000 Algerian demonstrators briefly forced a police line Saturday when they tried to call for March forbidden regime change one day after the fall of Fort Egyptian Hosni Mubarak.
The protesters, made to 800 by the police but is estimated at 2,000 by journalists on the scene, found themselves once again blocked by the security forces massed, who had surrounded the area, backed by armored vehicles.
There were scuffles with security forces and numerous arrests, well before the March called by the National Coordination for Change and Democracy (NCCD) had to begin at 11 am (1000 GMT), according to witnesses.
An AFP journalist saw two arrests, one of them a member of the opposition Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD), Othmane Maazouz.
Other journalists reported seeing several other arrests.
The protesters, including Bejadj Ali, a leader of the banned Front Islamique du hello, chanting "Free Algeria" in Arabic or "diet out!"
The President of the RCD, Said Sadi, told AFP by telephone that he was shocked that 90-year veteran human rights activist Ali Yahia Abdelnour had been manhandled by police.
He said police had violently dispersed a rally on Friday; people celebrate the downfall of President Mubarak and made 10 arrests.
"It was not even a protest. It was spontaneous. It was an explosion of joy," he said.
Early Saturday the authorities took drastic measures against the planned event with nearly 30,000 police officers deployed in the capital along the proposed route of March.
Anti-riot vehicles and water cannons were seen at the ready near the spot where she was to begin.
Police checkpoints on roads leading to the city following suicide attacks in 2007 have been strengthened and uniformed police patrolled the streets.
Traffic jams have started an hour earlier than usual, around 6:30 (0530 GMT), with drivers honking constantly nervous.

June 18, 2018 through July 27, 2018
What we offer at RMSP is so unique that some of our students have described it as "unreal". For six full weeks, you'll eat, breathe, sleep, and dream photography. Our classes are practical and hands-on; there's no dabbling in abstract theory or irrelevant course work. Unlike trying to teach yourself from books or online videos, our talented instructors will teach you, meet you where you are, and help you achieve your personal, creative vision.
At RMSP, you can count on learning more than you ever thought possible - about cameras, equipment, and crafting images - from some of the world's most thoughtful and dedicated instructors. What you might not realize is that an RMSP education is about more than just photography. Summer Intensive students frequently tell us that the program blew their expectations out of the water. That's because the SI experience isn't just about capturing the best images of your life — it's about undertaking the communal journey of becoming a photographer and forming the kinds of friendships that last a lifetime. Going to school can be intimidating, especially in an intensive art program. Not at RMSP. We are a supportive community that encourages you to take risks and try something new. We're not about competition here. We're about becoming part of a family, the kind where everyone pushes one another to grow, collaborate and succeed.
Diversity is the key to creativity and learning, which is why everyone is welcome at RMSP. One of the highlights of our Summer Intensive is meeting people of different ages, skill levels and backgrounds. Some students come to us out of high school because they're looking to build a photographic foundation. Others have entered retirement and are eager to finally pursue their passion. Some students have never picked up a camera until day one, while others are eager to expand their existing skill set. We've had students who are veterans, mid-career professionals seeking a change, and everything in between. Over 2500 students in the past 29 years have traveled to Missoula from all over the U.S., England, Scotland, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, the Bahamas, Poland, Thailand, and elsewhere. It's unconventional, and we repeatedly hear from our alums that this variety is what truly makes and shapes the program. One thing that all of our students do have in common is a sense that life can't wait — that it's time to get off the couch and explore your photography calling.

Course Descriptions
Photographic Studies
Photographic Studies begins with fundamentals. Learn how to use your DSLR and how shutter speeds, f-stops, ISO and color balance affect your images. With the basic skills under wraps, you'll experiment with different photographic genres, including landscape, macro, and photojournalism, and you'll learn about lenses, tripods, and the latest in camera technology. Then you'll head out on field shoots with RMSP instructors, where you'll get to tinker with your exciting new gear and understand how to make the most of your photographic toolkit.
Visual Studies
Visual Studies is all about perception. You'll explore the history and evolution of photography and learn about composition, story, perspective, and style. You'll grow adept at identifying the qualities of extraordinary images and engage in interactive critiques with your group. Most importantly, you'll pursue your own unique vision and discover how best to express it.
Lighting is elemental. Being a good photographer is all about mastering light in its variations and forms. This course teaches you everything you need to know, from the fundamentals of seeing light to understanding the differences between natural and artificial lighting. You'll learn how to maximize light, shoot in low light, and accentuate images with a flash. In no time, you'll understand how to create polished, captivating photos.
Output is a crucial skill for photographers. You'll learn how to get your photos from your hard drive to their next destination. Color management, inkjet printing from Adobe Lightroom, using a print lab, and an introduction to social media will prepare you to share your work with the world.
Image Editing
Image Editing is where we bring the magic of photography to life. Our instructors will teach you how to turn a good image into an exceptional one. Using the latest version of Adobe Lightroom, you'll learn how to crop, sharpen, vignette, remove lens distortion, make corrections, bring out detail in your shadows and highlights, and many additional skills. Through follow-along instruction and one-on-one lab time, you'll master techniques for capturing, processing, and maximizing every image. Last but not least, you'll learn proper storage and workflow techniques so that photo editing doesn't become a major time drain.
Summer Intensive Exit Competencies: What will SI graduates actually know?
Throughout six weeks, there is a lot of time for lectures, assignments, shoots, homework, fun, learning and community, but what specifically will you leave Summer Intensive knowing? Click below to see the Summer Intensive Exit Competencies for a list of what Summer Intensive students will have learned upon graduation. It must also be noted that this lists only the advanced topics. The basic skills a student needs to understand these advanced concepts will also be covered thoroughly.
Sheeron Salinas
2013 Summer Intensive Graduate
From: Norman, OK
Q: Why did you decide to attend SI?
A:I did an RMSP Weekend in Dallas in 2012. I went to that workshop because I felt like I wasn't meeting people who could give me what I needed to know for photography. I just felt like I was missing something. So I was on the web and came across RMSP, and I went down and met Eileen and Tony at the workshop in Dallas. I took away so much more in those two days than I had learned in five years (of going to photography groups with people who were faking it till they were making it). After that I went to the Intermediate workshop, and that was an amazing class. I decided I wanted to do the SI program. So in 2013, I went, and it was one of the best life experiences I've ever had – from the learning, to thinking outside the box, to meeting people in the same field.
Q: How did your summer at RMSP affect you?
A:It was one of the best summers ever. I took away so much. My photography hasn't taken off as much as I hoped, because I have a teenager, you know, and life doesn't work in a linear fashion. But I just added an office to my house, so I can work on my photography more. At RMSP, it's not about ego. The instructors really took the time to help me outside of class. Not all classes are like that. The instructors, the whole RMSP family, made Summer Intensive happen. They make you feel like you're part of something. It's not like, "Here let's just take your money and be done with it." It was more than that for me and for the classmates that I still keep in contact with. RMSP is fantastic; I just love them.
Q: What is something you learned at RMSP?
A:I learned that you have to take care of yourself before you take care of other people. Your photography, as with anything in life, has to be done with your perspective. It's based on your own experiences and how you see the world, because everyone has a different view of what the world looks like. I still struggle with comparing myself to other photographers. But you have to believe in yourself, and you have to pat yourself on the back for your own capabilities before you pat someone else's back. You have to believe in yourself first. I work on that every day. I'm not quite at a place with my photography that some people are, and I'm working on that in my own way and I'll get there in my own time. Comparing yourself to others is not going to help you.
Q: What did SI do for your photography skills?
A:Oh my gosh. The first thing being asked was, "What are you looking at?" Having someone say, "Before you even touch the shutter, what is it you're trying to express, what is it you're trying to capture, why are you taking this picture, what are you trying to convey?" For me that was a big deal. So now, when I take a picture, I really do have that in the back of my mind all the time. Whether it's a portrait or a landscape, I think, "What is it that I'm trying to capture, and why?"
Q: If you had to explain SI in one sentence, what would it be?
A:You always hear, oh it's impossible, the industry sucks. But there are also more images floating around now than ever, and people are paying for those images, so it's definitely doable. If you make a full-blown commitment, you will succeed. Those who don't succeed, it's because they're not fully committed. You can't expect to come to school and leave with a piece of paper that says you went to RMSP. Nobody cares. You can't lean on anything but your work. All the industry cares about is the fact that your work is great. People who show up thinking it's going to be some kind of a crutch, a certificate of completion – that's not how it works.
Intense, fast, fun, furious, lifelong friendship, education, photography. I made lifelong friends, was educated in the field that I love, and loved what I had to do. If I had to describe it I would say warm and fuzzy.
A Week in the Life
A student at SI will spend an average of eight-to-ten hours a day immersed in photography. A typical week will walk you through multiple genres and topics with expert instructors. Classes run from about 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Full days of instruction coupled with constructive assignments enable students to spend all six weeks fully engaged in photography.

Our historic Missoula campus sits at the heart of western Montana's creative arts scene, and at the confluence of three rivers and five valleys. We love it for the perfect balance it offers between outdoor pursuits and city life. There's no shortage of art galleries and studios within walking distance of RMSP. If you love music, the newly renovated Wilma Theater attracts top performers and artists. Missoula has an eclectic mix of restaurants, a thriving community of small businesses and nonprofits, its own celebrated coffee roasters and fun-loving residents who will make you feel instantly at home.
We're also surrounded by seven stunning wilderness areas. The western landscape is rich with history, from railroad-era buildings and architecture to picturesque ranches, old mining communities, ghost towns and forest service lookouts. The Lee Matcalf Wildlife Refuge and Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge are both easy day trips from town, and offer no shortage of opportunities to spot birds and other wildlife against the backdrop of spectacular mountain ranges. Oh, and did we mention that Glacier and Yellowstone national parks are both in our greater backyard?
There's an extraordinary quality to the light in Montana. The high altitude, long summer days, and rich palette of colors and textures make this one of the best "state-sized" studios in America. All in all, we're in an unbeatable location for the avid photographer. It's no wonder so many of our students come here to learn photography, and it's no wonder so many of them never want to leave.

In addition to teaching for RMSP, Marcy served the school as their Director of Education for seven years where she designed curriculum and coordinated classes for both our Career Training Program as well as our Workshops. As an artist, Marcy has exhibited nationally and her work has been featured in several publications over the years.

He is currently involved in an ongoing project called Art Music, which fuses the art of photography with live musical performance. His educational philosophy is fun, intuitive and full of creative persistence. No matter where you are in your photographic journey, Doug's balance of the aesthetic with the technical can help you further express your unique vision.

Toyota says it is well placed to withstand a barrage of competition in the mid-size class, with the latest Camry unveiled this week.
The car that has topped Australia's mid-size sales charts for the past 17 years will get a more powerful yet less thirsty new engine, as well as interior updates, dynamic refinement and a mild styling makeover when it arrives in Australian showrooms in November.
There is also a new model devised just for Australia. The Camry Atara will target private buyers with sharper styling and more standard inclusions and is likely to sit in the middle or upper end of the as-yet unannounced range.
The updated Camry arrives hot on the heels of the well-received Volkswagen Passat, while the Hyundai i45 has been revised to improve its ride and handling on Australian roads.
Ford's Mondeo has just had an efficient and powerful new ''EcoBoost'' engine added to its range, while Mazda is preparing to roll out its ''Sky'' suite of engines and gearboxes across the 6 range. Honda refreshed its Accord Euro model recently with styling tweaks and added equipment.
Last year the Camry - a perennial fleet favourite - captured more than 40 per cent of the mid-size market less than $60,000, with its next-nearest rival, the Mazda6, gaining just 12 per cent.
This year the Toyota claims almost one-third of sales in the segment (32.1 per cent to the end of July), having suffered significant supply issues in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March.
The executive director of sales and marketing for Toyota, Matt Callachor, says the Japanese manufacturer benchmarked the Camry widely when preparing the new model, which will be launched in dozens of countries around the world. ''The Mazda6, the Honda Accord, Hyundai, even the Chevrolet Malibu that currently doesn't sell in Australia, we looked at them all,'' he says.
''We didn't look to take steps in any specific area but we pretty much identified that we wanted to make improvements across the whole car.''
Toyota's present customers also had a role to play in the process, although Callachor maintains most were happy with the current model.
''Of course they want more power, less fuel consumption and better handling but the majority reported they were quite happy already,'' he says.
Toyota has kept a few aces up its sleeve, withholding crucial details including the interior design for its Australian-specified cars, as well as pricing and its revised model range. As has become the custom, these details will be trickle-fed to the media in the lead-up to the on-sale date in order to maximise coverage.
Callachor would not speculate on whether prices would rise with the arrival of the model but gave a strong hint.
''Price is one factor but it's value at the end of the day that matters to our customers and if they see good value in their purchase, then they're happy,'' he says.
The Atara model will include a more aggressive and distinctive face and will also be distinguished by twin rear exhausts that are visually arresting and also provide an extra 2kW of power, plus a more sporty exhaust note.
''We identified that we really wanted to compete more heavily in the private buyer market,'' Callachor says of a car whose base Altise model has been a fleet favourite.
''We felt we needed a better-looking vehicle with a higher level of specification.''

Why Bitcoin Price is GUARANTEED to Exceed $1000 by First Week of 2017
Why Bitcoin Price is GUARANTEED to Exceed $1000 by First Week of 2017
I know. I am not exactly going out on a limb here since Bitcoin is already trading at $975-980 USD at this time. Bitcoin is on a "bull-run" unseen since the rise and fall of Mt. Gox in November of 2013. The market dynamics are far different now, far less centralized around one exchange today, and Bitcoin market demand is much higher while Bitcoin supply is now much lower. Now, I have even more good news for Bitcoin investors. In fact, I have a guarantee!
When was the last time I wrote a guarantee into a headline, in my almost three years of writing Bitcoin news articles? That would be sometime around never. Today, I will make a prediction, a New Year's resolution, or a guarantee that Bitcoin's market value MUST exceed $1000 USD by the end of the first week of 2017. It is fait accompli, and I'm being pretty damn conservative here. I'll be shocked if the price isn't in excess of $1100 by January 10th, 2017. Here's why.
The answer is pretty simple and straight forward, and as usual, it revolves around China. China is by far the largest Bitcoin market in the world, controlling about 95% of the world's purchasing from fiat into Bitcoin. January 1st is the start of a new year, obviously. This also represents the start of a new annual $50,000 quota to convert the yuan into foreign exchange resets in China. Every year, you can take $50,000 worth of Yuan and invest it elsewhere. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where China loves to put their investment capital these days, or in the days to come.
In other words, come the first week of January, there will be the equivalent of a bank run throughout China, at least by the savvy investors, and they won't be looking to withdraw $50,000 to buy groceries. Chinese investors will be dumping Yuan to get Bitcoin and other valuable assets like Gold, Silver. Bitcoin's "bull run" should be expected to continue through at least the first couple of weeks of 2017, if not the entire month of January.
China's purchasing power consistently sets the global market price on Bitcoin, so a wise investor would continue to stock up, as their investment will continue to grow in 2017. Maybe this explains the run on BTC tin China taking place as we speak? Maybe Chinese investors are reading the tea leaves for 2017?
In any event, Bitcoin has made this a Merry Christmas for Bitcoin investors, and it seems destined to also create a Happy New Year for all of those wise enough to invest into what some are calling "The Future of Money." If you haven't begun investing in Bitcoin, make your New Year's Resolution to start now today, and take advantage of a great time to be a Bitcoin investor. I guarantee you will enjoy your investment returns in January of 2017

Everything is Every Thing by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz
A friend of mine lent me this book. He thought I would enjoy it because the poet and I have common interests: trivia, weird history, presidential history, weird presidential history. I did enjoy the book. She is a slam poet, and is known for her dramatic performances. I do think I am missing something by just reading some of the poems, but overall, the poems stand on their own. I keep a mental list of poetry books to give a person who is interested in poetry but isn't sure where to start. This is on my list because Aptowicz is not hard to understand, isn't stuffy (don't get me wrong, I also like stuffy poetry!), and isn't prose broken into stanzas. I don't have the book in front of me because I had to return it, so I can't talk about the line and stanza breaks. I do remember her titles were usually very long. Probably too long (something I am guilty of myself). My favorites in the book: Every Winter, Everyone Thinks My Boyfriend is Elvis Costello (second to last one on the page) Insults That Only Work if You Are a Presidential History Buff (Last one on the page) Choke

Post Edited (Sherrine) : 5/23/2009 4:49:29 PM (GMT-6)
We had a discussion a few months ago about wearing tiny heels and many said they had problem even wearing those. I had plantar faciitis sooo bad that I needed a wheelchair to get through an airport. I couldn't walk more than a block, at best. But then I tried the Birkenstocks and they took care of the problem. It wasn't instantly but now my feet are fine. I have given this advice to others. I have a friend that is a travel agent and she accompanies groups on trips all around the world. She was having the same problem with her feet so I told her about the Birkenstocks, she tried them, and now wears them all of the time. It took care of her plantar faciitis, too.
If I were you I would stick with your comfy shoes right now. Also, try to stop freaking out about it. Stress does make the pain of fibromyalgia a lot worse! Your feet will get better. If they still aren't improving, see your doctor and there are things they can do to help you. But, for me, I have found that I can be totally miserable with a problem but if I wait long enough it goes away! I hope you are feeling better soon.
Hi Ocean,
I know exactly what you are going thru with your feet. I have FM also and planter facitis as well. I do not have neuropathy but it feels like I do. The pain and horrible burning are constant. The one thing that has helped me besides stretching my feet, is vitamin Bcomplex.It needs to have B6-100mg inparticular. It has helped. I don't have any other answers but from reading the other replys I'll have to price the Birkenstocks and give them a try. I am really am soooooooo tired of all this. Good Luck to you.
