Dear Editor,Ā
The Whistler Readers and Writers Festival has wrapped up for another year and what an incredible year it was.
Sold out performances for the opening night gala, most Saturday (Oct. 13) workshops and our newly introduced event, Wine, Books and Jazz on Saturday night. A near sell out audience for Pecha Kucha/spoken word night again this year and incredible accolades from visiting authors like Canadian icon Alistair Macleod, author Lawrence Hill and Scottish poet John Burnside, who all commented on the wonderful sense of community they felt in Whistler.
They could feel the ōdeep love and admirationö Whistler had for this literary festival in the mountains.Ā
We are so grateful for the support of: Writers Union of Canada, Canada Council for the Arts, British Columbia Arts Council, Whistler Public Library, Resort Municipality of Whistler, Fairmont Chateau Whistler (our hotel partner), Whistler Arts Council, Whistler Blackcomb Foundation, Armchair Books (the best bookstore in the world), Whistler Is Awesome, the Whistler Museum, Goodwin Studios, Access Copyright, PEN Canada, Squamish LilÆWat Cultural Center, Maxx Fish, Alta Bistro, Tourism Whistler, Pique Newsmagazine and The Question for their incredible coverage of the festival. Thank you so much for helping us put our best foot forward for our visiting guest authors and festival participants.
Our organizing team is made up of a small group of volunteers who are passionate about the literary arts. They give their time and energy to this festival every year because they know how important it is to have these homegrown events available right here in our community.
IÆd like to thank: Katherine Fawcett, Sara Leach, Mary MacDonald, Libby McKeever, Claire Piech, Sue Oakey, Dee Raffo, Nancy Routley, Stephen Vogler, Wendy Whelan, and Rebecca Wood Barrett. They keep me grounded and focused on what is important.
Finally, I would like to thank you for participating in our festival. We had just fewer than 600 attendees (a 39 per cent increase in attendance over last year), an incredible breakthrough for the little festival that could. We are here because of you and we will continue to strive to do our very best. Thank you again for your support.
See you all next year.
Stella L. Harvey
Founder and Director,
Whistler Readers and Writers Festival

Or is it Philly adds pap shmear to their J-Roll? What, icky? Sorry, friend. The Phils signed Jonathan Papelbon to a silly deal of sillier proportions. Maybe the Phils should move to the Santa Ynez Valley because their replacement of Madson is a sideways move.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Pat Burrell
The national budget isn't the only thing that's strained in DC, Ryan Zimmerman is headed to the DL with an ab strain. This was an injury that originally happened in Spring Training and now it looks like the ab has taken out a *pinkie to mouth* restraining order.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello, new readers. No, this isn't High Times dot com, but don't worry there's Doritos at the end of this post. Hey, don't skip ahead. You have to read the post first. Yes, the computer is talking to you. Aw, I'm just messing with you. The computer's not talking to you. You're just reading, silly! So, Bud Norris didn't come out of nowhere to be my new Razzpick du jour. Yesterday, he went six innings, giving up one run and K'd 4. In the not-too-decent past, I mentioned liking his upside. For our friends in Latin America, the caveat is his wildness. The love comes from the fact he has more Ks than innings. There's only ten other starters with more than 110 innings in the major leagues that can claim that. That's one starter for every finger. Unless Antonio Alfonseca is reading this. The wildness is still there, but he hasn't walked more than 3 batters in a game since April. I'd absolutely grab Norris for the last month if I needed Ks (who doesn't?) and some upside (of course you do). Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Chris Johnson – 4-for-6, 1 RBI in a 16th inning game that saw Roy Oswalt play left field and Tim Kurkjian's voice cracking at the sheer craziness of the game. Can you believe this game, fellas?!
Please, blog, may I have some more?For the Ministry of Silly Names, this is a great day. Finally, Coco Crisp gets his just deserts, or is it breakfast? Coco Crisp has had a problem with injuries in the past, constantly going snap, crackle, pop. Now I'm with Coco, as long as he doesn't move to TBS. His game was Baroque, now it's roCoco. He steals so many bases, it could be considered cereal. The amount of puns with Crisp is radicchio. Since August he's hitting .345 in August and has 15 steals in the last two months. You say tomato, I say SAGNOF. He's only owned in 32% of ESPN leagues and that's about 68% short of making sense. Dyslexic gang members aren't the only ones that should show Crisp some love. Anyway, here's some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Eric Young Jr.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chase Utley went 0-for-5 as he returned from the DL. My favorite advice by fantasy 'perts is when they tell you to get a returning superstar into your lineup. Do people often leave their 1st round picks on the DL when they're playing? Is this something I need to tell people? While you're at it, get Pujols in your lineups too. Oh, and put on some pants before you get arrested. Another returning middle infielder with an oh-fer yesterday was Dustin Pedroia. Scrappy Doo fought hard to come back early, so he might not be at his usual 110%, but at, say, 80% he's Dustin Pedro and that's enough for me. The last man to recover from the 2010 Middle Infieluenza Epidemic was Martin Prado, who actually had some hits with a 3-for-5, 2 RBIs night. [dur] Get them all in your lineup.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Matt Kemp doesn't seem like he cares. Well, about anything outside of protecting Rihanna's honor and piercings. I don't blame him. The GM questions his defense. The manager plays Jay Gibbons over him. Andre Ethier gets all the cool pink shirts. Manny was recently overheard saying, "What does a man have to do to get a cool pink shirt up in this mug?!" I contemplated not going with Kemp for this lead because it's past a lot of people's trade deadlines. If it's past your deadline, skip down to the Buy section, there will be plenty of schmohawks to grab off waivers. If it's not past your deadline, there's few top players whose value is lower than Matt Kemp right now. Kemp's owners right now are having flashbacks to last season when he was batting behind the pitcher. Torre's a Sciosciapath with Kemp, his owners know it. So, step one for value is achieved, Kemp's price tag is cheaper than his value. Could Kemp continue to suck on the suckhole for the rest of the year? I suppose, loyal Razzball reader. But he's also capable of a 7+ homer, 5+ steal month and there's not a lot of guys that can say that, especially at his current price. Anyway, here's more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Hisabobby Takafelicianell – No relation to Zoey Deschanel, if anyone was wondering. This shituation would be clearer if we only had some idea who setup K-Rod in the Family Lunge. Did Parnell help setup the in-law with a stomach punch or nipple twist? Did Feliciano come in with a left hook? Did R.A.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ted Williams hit a HR in his last AB. John Elway won his 2nd straight Super Bowl in his last start. Chipper Jones eschewed a standing ovation in favor of a reclining operation. Sometimes you don't appreciate greatness until it hits the DL. In between all the injuries, Chipper Jones has had one of the top 5 careers for a 3rd basemen in WAR (behind only Schmidt, Eddie Mathews, Boggs and Brett). Fairly well, Glass Chipper, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars while trying not to pull any ligaments. Omar Infante should now play every day for the rest of the year even after Prado returns. He's a solid average contributor and… Well… Uh… Yeah, average. That's it. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Freddie Freeman – Frank Wren says the injury to Chipper doesn't change Freeman's timetable. Glaus' inability to hit anything other than weak grounders to the shortstop could change that timetable though. Right now, I don't think we see Freeman until September. Stay tuned! Or not. Your choice.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Francisco Rodriguez was arrested for assaulting his father-in-law. That's going to make for awkward holidays. Or maybe they'll skip Christmas and celebrate Boxing Day. Fred Wilpon needs to put some rubber bands in his beard and get K-Rod and Tony "Shirtless" Bernazard into the squared circle. During the fight, Johan was seen comforting K-Rod's wife. Johan, "She was looking for the changeup, and I went with the heater." K-Rod will probably miss a few games while he responds to attorney emails. Oddly enough, K-Rod isn't the easiest guy to handcuff. His backups in no particular order: Bobby Parnell, who I believe is the little black kid from Role Models, isn't very good, Manny Acosta isn't much better, Elmer Dessens is the guy who sells fresh corn on the side of the road when you're driving through a rural town and Pedro Feliciano is related to Pedro Feliz, I think. Frankly, I'd avoid the whole Mets mess. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Miguel Montero – Was a part of a back-to-back-to-back-to-back homer job with Adam LaRoche, Mini Donkey and Stephen Drew as they did work on Bush. Hey, Googlers of back-to-back + Bush. Betcha this isn't the kind of fantasy site you were looking for, was it? And for those that found us by Googling Donkey + Bush –> I'm kinda skeeved.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Chase Utley was placed on the 15-day DL with a sprained thumb and he might need surgery. This injury opens up a big gaping hole in his owners' hearts that can only be filled with junk food and hardcore drugs. Utley may not have been playing his weight in pomade, but at least you had him out there. At night when you crawled into your Michelob-scented bedsheets, your head hit the pillow knowing that if nothing else Utley was healthy. Looks like you're going to have to dust off the "Sounds of the Ocean" CD you used to help you sleep when your wife left you. Phillies will turn to Wilson Valdez, Juan Catastrophe and Brian Bocock, whose surname is bad enough without me altering it. Hopefully your options are better. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Placido Polanco – Crapolanco also heads off to the DL. Too bad because he was leading David Wright in All-Star votes for 3rd base. Hold on, whaaaaa??? Oh. Wait, what? If his vote tally goes up while he's on the DL, I'm gonna suggest players can't vote for themselves.
Please, blog, may I have some more?.288/.378/.535 in A and AA. Pedro Almodovar! Wait, rechecking my notes. Pedro Alvarez! Last year, Robot Jones and The Dread Pirate Triple Lindy'd into the Pirates mucky-muck with a certain panache (Pretentious Word of the Day!). Next up, is The Smashbuckler, the Pirates future 3rd baseman. Argh, into the bilgewater you go, LaRoche! You landlubber! Finally, Robot Jones and The Dread Pirate have a decent teammatey. Okay, I'm shutting off my English to Pirate translator. Alvarez took some time in 2009 to get going again after a broken hamate bone slowed him in 2008. By the 2nd half of the year, Alvarez was hitting for average and power in Double-A. (A September Scouting the Unknown further broke down Pedro Alvarez minor league stats.) He's done more of the same in Triple-A this year. See no reason why he can't continue the same trajectory in the majors, assuming he hasn't had any lengthy conversations with Alex Gordon. Moderate power, less than moderate speed and decent average. After his call-up, let's say a line of Runs/15/RBIs/.270/3 in 350 ABs. In keepers, pursue aggressively. In redraft leagues, depends on your current corner infidel situation. Though I will say that if he hits out of the gate, his value will go sky high and then you can trade him for a piece more valuable than him. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Brandon Phillips – Walt Jocketty said Phillips's hammy won't require a DL stint. Phillips said, "I'd kinda like to hear what a doctor has to say."
Alfredo Simon – Was activated from the DL. Juan Schmoil said he'll ease Simon back into the closer role so if you have room, I would wait until Simon earns a save before cutting Hernandez. Though 'fredo can handle things! He's smart!
Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Institute for Comparative Literature and Society (ICLS) acts as an interdisciplinary institute bringing together faculty and students from different departments (a bit like the Harriman Institute), but it is not itself a department.
Undergraduate students at Columbia and Barnard may major in Comparative Literature using a Slavic language and literature to fulfill the course requirements in "a language other than English." (Note that Barnard and Columbia have different requirements for the Comparative Literature major, even though Columbia Comp. Lit. majors can take Barnard courses to fulfill their requirements and vice versa. Barnard students should check the major requirements listed at the Barnard Comparative Literature Department. Columbia undergraduates should check the major requirements listed at the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society.)
Graduate students studying Comparative Literature are housed in and affiliated with individual language departments. If you want to study Comp. Lit. with a focus in a Slavic literature at the graduate level, you should apply directly to the Slavic Department, clearly indicating your interest in ICLS on the Application. If accepted, you will complete an M.A. in the Slavic Department, then incorporate a concentration in Comparative Literature and Society into your program at the M.Phil. level. For more details, see the website of the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society (ICLS).
The Slavic Department houses a small Reading Room containing essential materials on Russian literature and culture in 713 Hamilton Hall. All faculty and graduate students are provided with keys to this room; materials are for use in the Reading Room only, and may be removed only briefly for photocopying. Students and faculty of the Slavic Department also have access to the outstanding Slavic holdings at Columbia and other New-York-area libraries. Taken together, the collections of Columbia and the New York Public Library offer the single largest concentration of Russian-language materials in the country.
The Russian, Eurasian & East European collections at Columbia University
Libraries contain, very roughly, about 750,000 volumes. This includes material
in all fields of knowledge from and about the region of the former Soviet Union
and its one-time communist satellites in Eastern Europe. In addition, the
Libraries provide access to a large number of electronic resources -- texts,
databases, bibliographies -- for the study of Russia, Eurasia and Eastern
Europe. Slavists at Columbia are fortunate to have on hand a specialist librarian, Jared Ingersoll,
who is available to assist both students and faculty in navigating the
wealth of resources related to Slavic, East European and Eurasian
Studies that are available both in the physical Columbia Libraries and
in the online databases and indices.
Depending on focus, Slavic specialists may also be interested in the holdings of the Union Theological Seminary and Jewish Theological Seminary libraries.

The Mauritius Commandby Patrick O'Brian
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Captain Jack Aubrey is ashore on half pay without a command--until Stephen Maturin arrives with secret orders for Aubrey to take a frigate to the Cape of Good Hope under a commodore's pennant, there to mount an expedition against the French-held islands of Mauritius and La Réunion. But the difficulties of carrying out his orders are compounded by two of his own captains--Lord Clonfert, a pleasure-seeking dilettante, and Captain Corbett, whose severity pushes his crew to the verge of mutiny.
Synopsis:"Jack's assignment: to capture the Indian Ocean islands of Réunion and Mauritius from the French. That campaign forms the narrative thread of this rollicking sea saga. But its substance is more beguiling still..."--Elizabeth Peer, Newsweek
About the AuthorPatrick O'Brian wrote many novels, including the extraordinarily popular Aubrey/Maturin series about the Royal Navy in the time of Nelson. He died in 2000.

Ben Bellows is an associate with the Population Council's Reproductive Health program. He is the program manager for the reproductive health vouchers project, which evaluates programs in East Africa and South Asia. Photo: © Richard Lord
There is growing interest in innovative "voucher and accreditation" strategies to pay for health services. We want to find out whether public health goals can be achieved through incentives to health care providers and patients.
All of the voucher programs the Population Council is assessing are aimed at increasing access to safe motherhood services for pregnancy, attended delivery, and postpartum care. Some countries also developed additional voucher services to target key public health needs. For example, the Uganda program offers STI treatment at private facilities, and the Kenya program distributes a family planning voucher and reimburses post-rape care at provincial hospitals.
People in many developing countries rely on basic health care services provided in underfunded government facilities, informal urban clinics, private shops in semi-urban trading centers, and the homes of paramedic aides in rural villages. Some of these providers are government medical staff. Others run a private practice, trying to meet the health care needs of patients who cannot afford to travel to district facilities for nominally free care.
In order to join voucher and accreditation programs, health care providers must meet high-quality standards. They diagnose and treat patients in exchange for a voucher that the client has received at low cost, or free. In most voucher programs, the provider is reimbursed at a negotiated rate that often reflects the cost of service provision and a reasonable profit. There is no typical clinic—some facilities may be a single consultation room lit by one bulb; other voucher facilities are high-level hospitals seeing patients with a wide range of health care needs. In every case, voucher programs expand the facility's revenue base by giving poor women access to services they would previously be unable to access.
Although voucher and accreditation pilot programs have been implemented in several countries over the past 15 years, little is known about their impact. With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and in collaboration with KfW, the German Development Bank, the Population Council is evaluating voucher programs in East Africa and South Asia, measuring changes in reproductive health behaviors, service use, and health status, especially among the poor. Our evaluations will generate much-needed evidence to help governments and partners decide whether to scale up these programs, include additional services, or support their transition to a different finance model.

Gold Panda Releases New EP; Hear it Now
- Words: Patric Fallon
Seemingly out of nowhere, the soft-spoken UK producer known as Gold Panda announced that you can buy his latest EP, called Trust, as well as stream the four-track record, today. Released via Ghostly and the artist's own Notown label, Gold Panda's new record arrives just over two years from his solid debut LP, Lucky Shiner, and a year or so from his contribution to K7!'s DJ-Kicks mix series. Speaking on his Trust EP, Gold Panda said, "The inspiration [for this record] was just getting away from computers/laptops, [which] made my arrangements a bit more free and natural, I think. Just jamming and looking out my window... I think these tracks and the tracks for the new album have more space, but don't feel empty." So, not only can you listen to the Trust EP over on Gold Panda's website, here, but you can also rest assured that Lucky Shiner's follow up is well on its way. And if that's not enough for you, don't miss the beatmaker when he makes a stop in your area on his upcoming world tour, the dates of which you can check out below.

The Guardian 13th June 2005
Dear Sir,
Polly Toynbee's offensive against the forthcoming legislation to outlaw incitement to religious hatred ("My right to offend a fool", 10 June 2005) clearly shows that she has not read the draft legislation.
Toynbee makes the erroneous claim that the legislation would have prevented the performance of the play Behzti. However, as Toynbee notes, Sikh and Jewish communities are already protected by race laws, and yet the play was still performed. The only change anticipated by the proposed legislation is the extension of the protection afforded by race laws to specific faith communities to other faith communities including those of no faith.
Toynbee further shows her haste for bombast over rationale by failing to appreciate that criticism of faiths per se will remain unimpeded by the new law. She would therefore be free to continue her diatribe against religion.
Hatred of another is a most distasteful state of being, and yet to defend the "right" to hate others on the grounds of their religion recalls some of the most distasteful episodes of our recent history.
Yours sincerely,
Tariq Hameed Media Committee Muslim Council of Britain

CustomerJody from Storrs Manfield CT
Turned the gas and the electricity off to the gas range. Took the two large screws out in the back of the range holding on the first pan. Have to look for them. Took off the single nut holding on the second pan. Used nut drive #10 to take off nuts. Be careful you do not lose them. Took off inoperative unit. Cut wires to unit. Stripped wires which connect to range. Put new unit on and tightened nuts with nutdriver. Spliced wires together and put on wire nuts securely. Taped them to the wires. Put the second pan back, then the first pan. Turned on gas and electricity to test.Worked fine. Found that the old unit was cracked and had a piece missing. Must use flashlight. Be safe.
CustomerChris from Elkins WV
Removing the drip pan and the bottom burner cover exposed the igniter, removing two screws retaining the bracket freed the old igniter. Removing the warming drawer allowed access to the control module to unplug the wiring on the ignitor. After making myself a diagram, I unplugged the wires and removed the malfunctioning igniter. Cutting the leads off the old igniter long enough to splice it on below the oven bottom with the enclosed wire nuts and attaching the new igniter (reusing the old insulation to protect the wire) took only minutes and reassembly was straightforward. New igniter: $60Repairman fee saved $150Being able to tell my wife "See,I told you I could fix it!" PRICELESS

Removed the broiler compartment door by depressing the slide stops inward and pulling the door off. Turned off the breaker to the oven. Used a nut driver to remove the old ignitor ( 2 screws ). Cut the wires off the old ignitor close to the porclin. Measured the new ignitor wires to match up with the old ignitor wires and cut them. Stripped 3/8 " off ends of newely cut wires of the ignitor and used the supplied wire nuts to secure them together. Replaced the new ignitor with the 2 screws. Turned on the oven and a cooking I went.

CustomerJeffrey from Mission Viejo CA
I removed the oven floor and subfloor. I detached the old ignighter leaving the wires still attached. I then attached the new ignighter and fed each of the two new wires down through the bottom of the oven floor following the same path of the old wires which were still attached. I attached the new wires one at a time to make sure I connected them to the right place. Then, I pulled out the old igniter. I then attached the oven floors and turned the oven on which now works. The tough part is pulling the oven out from the wall to disconnect the power and turn off the gas. I did not remove the oven door.

CustomerBrian from San Francisco CA
First I turned off the circuit breaker to the oven. Then, I removed the base of the oven (the oven floor) by easily removing two screws. I also removed the flame guard by removing a screw. That easily exposed the old oven igniter. I removed the two small screws that held that in place. The igniter is connected by two wires, which you'll have to snip. Snip those very close to the igniter (leave about an inch of wire on the igniter). Using a wire stripper, remove about 1/2 inch of the outer sheath of the existing wires. On the new igniter, snip the wires leaving about 2 inches still connected to the igniter. Using the wire stippers, remove about 1/2 inch of the outer sheath. Using the plastic wire caps that came with the new igniter, connect the wires from the oven to the corresponding wire on the new igniter. Screw the new igniter back in place. Replace the flame guard and oven floor. Turn on the circuit breaker and start cooking again!

CustomerClayton from Gulf Breeze FL
First unplugged the oven from the wall and then I removed the bottom floor of the oven by removing the two screws at the back. Then I removed the heat shield over the burner by remove the two screws at the front of the oven and removed the nut in the middle of the heat shield that was hold the shield to the burner. I removed the two screws on the flat oven igniter and cut the two wires on the igniter and pulled the two wires through the open in the bottom oven from the drawer opening. Mounted the new igniter and feed the two wire from the igniter through the open in the bottom of the oven, Stripped the two wires that I cut from the oven, twisted the new wires to the old, and put the wire nuts on. Last I put everything back together and baked dinner. Took ten about minutes and saved a thousand dollars because I was going to buy a new oven. Thanks, Partselect.

Unplugged the appl. I removed the bottom of the oven. Disconnected the two wires. Removed two screws that hold the element in place. Replaced it. And put everything back together. Since this element goes bad about every year an a half, I keep one on hand all the time.

1 - I unplugged the oven/ stove connection.2 - Removed 2 screws and lifted it out the floor of the oven.3 - Removed the nut holding down the flame guard and lifted it out. 4 - Removed 2 screes that held igniter in place.5 - cut the wires for igniter.6 - Stripped new wires with the nuts connector.7 - Installed new igniter with 2 screws.8 - Put it all back together step 3 & 2.9 - Plugged in the oven/stove connection.10 - Turn on the oven and works perfectly. 11 - My wife and daughter happy and ready to bake.
Time to do repair:1- 2 hours
CustomerMICHAEL from LIVONIA MI
See other posts.... they have the correct repair procedures.HIGHLY RECOMMEND removing the bottom drawer to access the space where splice will be made between new igniter wires and existing wires. This step is recommended in previous posts. I wasted a lot of time taking out unnecessary stuff in the oven compartment before I realized that the drawer compartment provided easy access for repair. Story of my life on just about all repairs.
Time to do repair:More than 2 hours
CustomerDenise from Clinton Township MI
I cut the wires from the old igniter near where it said to. I then connected the new wires to the old ones, put it back on, the way I remembered it being assembled, but still won't heat up. I tried to get an enlarged detail of where I was working on, but I couldn't enlarge it from your website. My friend, who knows about electricity, worked on it for several hours last pm(He's an electrician), but could not figure it out with the scamatic that was on the range, because he was not there when I disassembled it,
CustomerChris from Shunk PA
Removed the two screws, took out the old one and replaced the new one. It was very easy and the oven works great now. Thanks.

Country, 'Voice' Star Blake Shelton to Perform Free Concert at Whiskey River in Macon
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) - Fans of country music got a big surprise Friday. Artist Blake Shelton is playing a free concert in Macon! The news came following a tweet he sent earlier today, which made die- hard fans drop everything and head to the venue, Whisky River on Pio Nono Avenue.
The star is doing this free concert as part of a series that's been kept under wraps by his publicists. He apparently loves to surprise people. He's one of the four judges on 'The Voice' which premieres Monday on 41NBC.
Early Friday afternoon, he tweeted "That's it!!! I have got to do another free country music celebration. Macon, Georgia. YOU!!!! Whiskey River tonight!! Be there..." His wife, country star Miranda Lambert played here just last week with Dierks Bentley. According to his Twitter page, he played another free concert in Greenville, South Carolina Thursday night.
41NBC caught up with some of the first people in line at Whiskey River...who are some of Blake's self-proclaimed biggest fans.
"If you're not here you're missing out!," said second person in line Jenna Jones, who put an alert on her Twitter account for whenever Shelton Tweets anything. One woman we spoke with left work early just to get be the first in line.
41NBC also spoke with the owner of Whiskey River, Ernie Shepherd, who told us they are very excited about tonight's show. They've known about it for about a month, but t they had to keep tight-lipped about it until Friday. The concert is free--you just need cash for drinks and food.
The show starts at 8:30 and goes until 12:30. Doors open at 6.

PROTESTANT NONCONFORMITY. Footnotes
There were no dissenters in Kirtling in 1676 (fn. 62) but by c. 1690 a group of presbyterians had been receiving a fortnightly lecture and were reportedly willing to hire a Sunday preacher. (fn. 63) The later Baptist chapel traced its foundation to 1670, on uncertain grounds. (fn. 64) About 1709 there were eight dissenters, (fn. 65) apparently members of the large Independent congregation at Burwell. (fn. 66) The minister of the Isleham chapel, a paedobaptist serving a congregation still partly presbyterian, preached at Kirtling in 1758, and several Kirtling people attended the Isleham chapel in the early 1780s. (fn. 67)
By 1775 there was a meeting house on the south side of Kirtling green 100 m. west of the junction with the Street. It belonged to the wellto-do grocer Thomas Canham. (fn. 68) The congregation was Particular Baptist by 1825 (fn. 69) and never joined the Baptist Union. (fn. 70) A new chapel seating 200 was built on the site in 1847, under a long-serving resident pastor who claimed attendances of 120 and 170 at his morning and afternoon services on Census Sunday 1851. (fn. 71) The chapel apparently closed in the early 1920s (fn. 72) and was demolished.
The Primitive Methodists of the Wickhambrook (Suff.) circuit were active in Kirtling in 1866. (fn. 73) By 1874 they had built small red-brick chapels at Kirtling Green and Upend. (fn. 74) Upend was disused by 1953 and sold in 1956; (fn. 75) Kirtling held its last service in 1975. (fn. 76)

Soap, anyone?
Just wanted to pass on the fact that Macy's online (only) now has the following hard-milled bath soaps: Miss Dior and Coco by Chanel! They both smell great, and as someone who prefers the long-lasting nature of soaps, as opposed to body washes, which can "turn" and smell weird, I thought I'd pass this along. Too bad Sephora doesn't cary them. I've also gotten the Miss Dior from Nordstrom's online.
Scents similar to CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle?
My mom is absolutely in love with Chanel's Coco mademoiselle fragrance. I really want to buy it for her but the smallest size is over $60 and that is simply not something I can afford right now. So I was wondering if anyone has come across a fragrance that smells very similar to it? She is not someone who chases the most expensive brands, she is happy with simplicity.
Diptyque perfumes
I was recently introduced to Diptyque. As much as I love the overall concept of the brand, my local counter is extremely, they only have testers for 3-4 perfume and no SA either. If any of you has tried the brand before, please do share your favourite scent with me, so I will have a better idea next time I go visit the counter! Thank you so much everyone!
Nirvana Black or Lady million or Nirvana white or any other? Choosing perfume for girlfriend
Hey all, im trying to find a good perfume for my girlfriend. I was confused between Lady million and Nirvana Black/white. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Umm im not sure what details to give you guys so u can better decide but she really is mysterious and sensual and pretty and lives in BC (incase weather matters) and shes 20 years old. Can anyone suggest a perfume within 100 dollars or choose among the ones mentioned pleaseeee?
Tory Burch mini is in Rewards section

Perfume Parade!
Ok so the credit here goes to bombshell for starting the palette parade - I am just loving the idea of rotating a palette every week. Thanks girl!!! The same idea applies to my perfume stash as I looked and haven't touched some of them in quite some time. I have a rollerball drawer that some get pushed down to the bottom and never get love, so here is their chance! <3 So if you have a ton of scents and want to join in post your collection and put one up for starters! I am going to place mine beside my palette of the week so I will not cheat lol. I will post my list up in just a little bit. Weekends can be cheat days or you can do like I am and start in on my ever intimidating pile of sample vials.
What's your favourite perfume?
I've been looking to invest into a new perfume and am wondering what everyones favourite is!
kat von d saint perfume - disco'd?
I noticed that Kat von D's perfume "Saint" is not longer locatable online. Has it been discontinued?
Does perfume go bad?
I have way too many perfumes and I think the oldest is probably 6 years old. I still wear it from time to time but I wonder if perfume goes bad or expires. I keep them on a shelf in my closet away from direct sunlight and moisture. Have you ever had a perfume go bad on you? What's the oldest perfume you own?
Celebrity Fragrances
Do any of you have a strong reaction, either for or against, celebrity fragrances? I don't know what it is, and it doesn't matter if I love the celebrity or despise them, I just can't wrap my head around it. I'm sure I am missing out on some great smelling scents as a result of this, and I know it is narrow-minded, but with so many fragrances out there to try, the whole celebrity thing just puts those at the bottom of my list. Are there any that you think are a must try? Sidebar: I was at my local TJ Maxx and I noticed they had TONS of celebrity fragrances available. It got me wondering if other retailers are just having too much difficulty moving them off the shelves.
Is Sephora Still Going To Carry Pink Sugar?
I was at a SiJCP yesterday and I found this perfume. When I worked at Claire's we sold a Hello Kitty perfume that smelled just like this! I haven't been able to find anything like it in years and pretty much everything is out of stock. Ulta has it, but I would rather purchase it at Sephora. Does anyone know?
Going to get my first bottle of Jo Malone Fragrances. Any recommendations?

Elizabeth and James Nirvana rollerballs
I bought both Elizabeth and James Nirvana rollerballs. I used them twice and they seem almost empty. There's no way to tell for sure due to the opaque packaging. Do you think I should try to return them?
i need help identifying a fragrance bottle
So yesterday do to lack of coverage I got pulled to work cosmetics instead of pharmacy, well I had a customer looking for a fragrance that she saw on her coworkers desk. She described it as a tall clear maybe white bottle with the letters G W on it. We didn't have it but it has me curious to know what it is! Any ideas?
CLEAN 500pt perk
I am not familiar with the CLEAN brand and I don't know if there are any lovers of the brand on Sephora. But I just wanted to give heads up that I went today and there was a 500 pt perk, it included 2 perfume one was in a pink bottle, the other in a blue and it had the matching lotions.
What are you wearing, Fragrance edition!
I'm one of those gals that are obsessed with fragrances and have about around 50 60 and still collecting...(if you want to call it that.) So I would like to know what are you wearing today? I'm wearing Obsession...(hahaha kinda fits this thread, doesn't it? )
Return policy on buying perfume online
Just in case I'm not satisfied with the perfume I am going to purchase, what is the return policy of buying it online?
Which one should I choose
Hi lovely ladies, right now I have an issue about which perfume should I choose, I need your opinion about the list below: -florabotanica balenciaga -chloe -prada candy
Fragrance swap
Hi ladies. I hear people talk about doing fragrance swaps, and I was just wondering if anyone has done this and what boards do you use to post that you have something available of are seeking something in particular? Anyone have experience with this?
is hypnotic poison going away?
I need fragrance help!
I am bored with my current perfumes! I currently wear forever red by bath and bodyworks and body by victoria from Victoria's secret. I like scents that are sweet like candy or floral. Does anyone have a recommendation for a new scent to try?
Your opinion on Perfume Primer?
So recently I posted up a thread about perfume primer which was taken down because of a link. Anyway, there is this thing called a Perfume Primer that makes your perfume last longer. People asked me about where I heard of this and I would say its an article on Total Beauty. Before giving your opinion on this you should really read the article first because it have more information.
Has anyone tried Alice & Peter fragrances?
Hautelook has them for half off and I'm so tempted by the cute bottles.
Perfume/fragance you're wearing for Valentine?
So Valentine is that one special day for lovey dovey things. What perfume are you gonna wear for your date? I don't have a Valentine but I'm going to wear Lolita Lempicka's first fragance
Fragrance, lotion, shower gel etc??
In the past when I'd shop at BBW I would always get the complete set of each scent (mist, lotion, gel, body cream, even the travel sizes) So do you ladies do the same with the higher end perfumes? Just wondering if it's worth spending money on all the extras or just use that money to buy more perfumes
Ladies I need your help :-(
A couple of weeks back I bought COACH Poppy Freesia Blossom, and honestly this perfume is great but at the end of the day there's just no lasting smell. I've never experienced perfumes like that before. So I decided to go in another direction... I would really appreciate it someone can tell me which perfume out of these two options are the BEST! they're both MARC JACOBS : -DAISY OR -DAISY EAU SO FRESH? Much appreciated if you answer :-)
Where do you store or display your perfumes?
It was suggested that you store perfume in a drawer or cool dark place. The bottles are way too pretty to keep them hidden. I like to keep mine displayed on a glass tray near my makeup table. Am I shortening the shelf life?
Perfume Retail/Aromatherapy; how to please yourself & others?
Do any of you wear perfumes that your partner/kids/coworkers do not like? I'm trying to be strong and to keep/wear the perfumes that I personally like, but find that I shy away from a favorite after a negative comment. For example, I've come to really like Dior Hypnotic Poison, but my partner does not like it Yes, I wear lighter skin scents such as Nest dahlia and vines, which is unoffensive fresh and floral, but I want my Poison too!!! What scent do you wear that you love but others do not like?
Jimmy Choo Flash... Loverdose redux?
I have been wearing Flash for a couple of days, loving the fruity but NOT overly sweet scent, and even though it's not listed in the notes I swear I smell anise/licorice. Then it hit me why this seemingly unique scent felt so familiar, it is a dupe for Diesel Loverdose, at least to my nose. I am so happy that I have found a perfume that brings an old favorite back to life. Have any newly released fragrances resurrected a long lost perfume you thought you'd lost forever? Happy Valentine's Day to all the perfumophiles out there!
Best floral fragrance??
Gotta use that triple points to my advantage! I want something that's floral for the spring. Anyone have any suggestions?

text: Spiker sent me the cable guard rod, as well as a whisker biscuit (Trophy Ridge) and 3 pin optical site. I already have a release. Hopefully the biscuit will be correct...looks like it will work. I also found a drop rest in the last few days...NAP SmartRest. From my short experience with my son's Browning and whisker biscuit, I think I will go with that...I like the way it holds the arrow in all positions...no dropping off the bow etc. There may be reasons to use the drop rest, which I don't know at this time...your thoughts?

124cc, 15bhp, mph, Insurance group
The SR Max 125 is a nice little city scooter, with bags of weather protection and comfort for longer journeys. Struggles at speeds above 40mph, but at town speeds it's perfectly adequate. Handling is spot on. If you want an all year round scoot with good wether protection the SR Max 125 is a great choice.
You get all the style and cool of an original Vespa, wrapped up in a package with modern reliability and running gear. If you're commute is primarily on busy city roads the engine and handling are spot on. But the GTS struggles out on the open road.
125cc, 9bhp, 62mph, Insurance group
The Super 8 125 is probably the most polished feeling scooter that Kymco make. It offers the sportiness of the Agility with the comfort of the Like. The ride has a nice feel to it and the finish on the dash, seat and pipes looks the best of the lot. It's well priced too.
125cc, bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
Famous Italian motorcycle brand Garelli is back with a new range of scooters and mopeds. The XO is effectively their flagship model and benefits from sharp looks, stable 16" wheels and decent disc brakes. It's a stylish and perfectly adequate town run-around - the only drawback is a slightly lacklustre engine.
125cc, 8.9bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
The BW's 125 is an off-road inspired scoot that goes nicely and looks even nicer - rugged styling marks it out as a small scoot aimed at blokes. At £2,499 it's not the cheapest 125 scooter on the market, but nice detailing and decent performance help to justify the price.
125cc, 13bhp, 68mph, Insurance group
The Honda S-Wing is a well-equipped and competitively priced executive scooter that performs a lot better than its functional looks might suggest. Honda is pitching the S-Wing as an up-market urban commuter and in that environment it's a cut above the direct competition.
124cc, 8.5bhp, 60mph, Insurance group
Classy styling, nice attention to detail and a list of handy well thought-out features make the Vivacity 125 look like a charming city commuter package. Overall it strikes a tempting balance between quality and price. The only slight let down is its performance.
124cc, 12.5bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
As big-wheel scooters go the Peugeot LXR125 is hard to fault – the competitive price, stable handling and a good dose of practicality add up to well-rounded package. It looks relatively stylish to boot.
125cc, 12bhp, 65mph, Insurance group 5
If you want the comfort and practicality of a maxi-scooter but you're limited to 125cc, the well-spec'd Burgman is a safe choice. It's not quite up to a motorway commute, but for city use it's a classy ride with more luggage space than you'll know what to do with.
124cc, 14bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
This is the middle capacity in the GP-1 Derbi range and when you hear the spec of the Derbi GP1 125 Racing scooter it's easier to think of a proper motorcycle rather than a funky-looking twist-and-go scooter. It's got radial brakes, earlier versions had a single rear shock and it even has a twin-spar aluminium chassis too.

Why should I care about software usability
By usability, we mean 'user-centered approach and design', which incorporates user concerns, needs and wants from the beginning of the design process. Users who are presented with feature-rich software that is difficult to use will most likely resist it and seek out alternatives. Hence it is essential to perform usability testing that would help you determine how easy it is for users to use the software the way they desire.

July image of the month: Racehorses
Posted by admin | 10th July 2012A closer look at Racehorses by David Bomberg (1890-1957)
Medium: Black chalk and wash on paper
Dimensions: 41.5 x 66.2 cm
Date: 1913
Inscription: Signed and dated b.r. 'D. Bomberg 1914'
David Bomberg was born in Birmingham and raised in London's Whitechapel. Racehorses, which Bomberg created in 1913, is black chalk and wash on paper.
Racehorses is arguably the best and most famous of all the artist's drawings from his Vorticist period, and probably the only one of this calibre.
1. How many horses can you see?
There are at least 30 horses but it is difficult to be sure of the exact number. This is probably deliberate on the part of the artist as it contributes to the sense of movement and activity that he is trying to convey.
2. Do you think it is the start or the end of the race?
It is probably the start of the race as many of the jockeys are still settling into position and the figures in the foreground are not all watching the action as they would be had they been viewing the end of the race.
3. How many figures can you see in the foreground?
There are two groups of figures in the foreground: a larger group of seven on the left and two on the right.
4. What do you think they talking about?
They are probably discussing the forthcoming race and the horses' "form" - in other words who is likely to win.
5. In how many different positions are the jockeys sat?
The jockeys are in a number of different positions: some leaning forward, others back, others upright, as if they have all just mounted and are settling into their saddles.
6. What is happening in the top right-hand corner?
There is a very fast race going on in the top right hand corner - both horses and riders are moving so fast they have been reduced to mere shapes.
7. What pattern can you see on the saddles?
There is a criss-cross grid of tiny squares on the saddles.
8. What do you think the man in the bottom left-hand corner is doing?
The man in the bottom left-hand corner may have just helped a rider to mount, or he may still be grooming or rubbing down the horse.
Bomberg and Ben Uri
Racehorses was bought by Ben Uri at Sotheby's on 17 November 2004 for a six-figure sum. The Ben Uri collection includes nearly 1,300 artworks by signifcant artists such as Bomberg.
Commenting on the acquisition, David Glasser, Chairman of Ben Uri, said:
"This work is perhaps Bomberg's finest achievement. It was painted in 1913 in the East End of London, just at the time when the need for a Ben Uri as a Jewish museum of art was being recognised and discussed. For Ben Uri, it was a hugely ambitious project to raise such a sum in just 14 days but when the work, which achieved a world record price in 1990, came back on the market, we mobilised the knowledge, expertise and indefatigable energy of the whole Ben Uri team. We are immensely grateful to the representatives of the HLF, The Art Fund and the MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund for supporting the bid with around £100,000 of public funds, which was enhanced by further substantial sums from the Julius Silman Charitable Trust and from supporters in the UK and aboard. We pay public tribute to them all for their support."
There are 14 significant artworks by David Bomberg in the Ben Uri Collection.

We want to see the Government of Guatemala take specific and effective action - including, if appropriate, legislative reforms - to improve the systemic failures in enforcement of Guatemalan labor law. In addition, the issue of labor-related violence is a matter of serious concern to the United States. Our request for consultations also expresses our grave concerns about this problem and indicates that we intend to take this issue up with the Government of Guatemala in the near future.
In April 2008 the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) [official website] filed a public submission [text, PDF] under CAFTA-DR claiming Guatemala had failed to enforce its labor laws. Following the submission, the US Department of Labor (DOL) [official website] issued a report [text, PDF] highlighting Guatemala's ineffective enforcement of those laws, alleging its failure to meet its obligation under CAFTA-DR. CAFTA-DR was signed into law [JURIST report] in 2005, making it the first official trade pact between the US and Central America. CAFTA ends tariffs against US products in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Honduras, and ensures those countries duty-free access to the US.
French defense lawyers have been arguing for years that the practice of detaining suspects without reading them rights or bringing charges is an unethical method of forcing people to confess. The campaign for custody reform [advocacy website, in French] has gained momentum over the past few months as a result of recent decisions by the European Court of Human Rights [official website] in Salduz v. Turkey, Mooren v. Germany and Koslenik v. Ukraine [judgment], which called a lack of safeguards during police custody a violation of article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights [text, PDF]. French lawyers and human rights groups have demanded that all suspects in police custody be given the right to see a lawyer immediately and access to a lawyer during interrogation, as well as be informed of their right to remain silent.
The preliminary injunction [JURIST report], issued Wednesday, came at the request of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website], which filed its suit challenging the constitutionality of the law [JURIST report] earlier this month. Judge Susan Bolton issued the injunction against provisions of the law requiring the verification of the immigration status of people reasonably suspected of being illegal immigrants, authorizing the warrantless arrest of those police have probable cause to believe have committed an offense that could lead to deportation, and requiring noncitizens to carry their registration papers with them at all times. The law has been widely criticized as unconstitutional and allegedly legalizing racial profiling. Also in July, the American Bar Association (ABA) [official website] filed an amicus curiae brief [JURIST report] in support of the DOJ lawsuit, following the submission of another amicus curiae brief [JURIST report] in support of a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) [advocacy website].
