The Department of Conservation was established in 1973, although it grew from the course that was founded by William Wheeler in 1946 as a part of the Restoration and Carving courses developed to train specialists for the restoration of London's architecture, monuments and treasures damaged during the war; and thus the Conservation Department is one of the oldest conservation training programmes in the UK. The School's academic profile (including fine art and historic carving) means that we are uniquely placed to provide students with the skills essential to developing the aesthetic awareness necessary for the practice of conservation. This is closely integrated with the appropriate technical and theoretical knowledge demanded by the profession.
The courses and training opportunities offered centre on the conservation of 3-D objects made from wood, stone and other sculptural materials, together with gilded, japanned and painted decoration and other forms of polychromy. Students work on a wide variety of objects from leading public and private institutions such as English Heritage, the Foundling Museum, St Paul's Cathedral, Rochester Cathedral, the Royal Institute of British Architects, Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Westminster, the Wallace Collection, the William Morris Gallery and many more. Students, working under the close supervision of tutors, who are all professional conservators, carry out all phases of conservation, including examination, documentation, treatment and compiling recommendations for future care.
The Conservation Department is currently involved in collaborative projects with the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate Gallery, Rochester Cathedral, St Paul's Cathedral, the Watt's Gallery, English Heritage, Westminster Abbey, the Foundling Museum, Venice in Peril and others. These projects give students the opportunity to work with conservation professionals on live projects, providing an invaluable insight into how treatment decisions are made and how conservation ethics are applied in real situations. All research projects make use of analytical techniques that are taught in collaboration with the Materials Department at Imperial College.
In 2012 the Department was completely refurbished to provide a high quality working environment equipped with appropriate health and safety facilities. Thanks to a generous donation from a private benefactor the City and Guilds Conservation Department owns a laser (Nd:YAG Q-switch) and is the only place in the UK where the laser cleaning technique is a part of the course syllabi. Recently the Department has acquired an FTIR spectrometer, thanks to the Foyle Foundation; this is an essential instrument for the technical examination of art materials.
The Conservation Department has a very generous ratio of staff to students, generally a maximum of one to nine. All tutors are highly experienced professionals with many years of experience in conservation who combine their professional activities with teaching at City and Guilds Art School on a part-time basis. This practice creates a vibrant environment where students have the opportunity to interact with the world of professional conservation.
The conservation students represent a diverse international community across a wide range of age groups, cultural and professional backgrounds. To support students financially number of bursaries are available every year.
The Department is both nationally and internationally renowned for its preparation of conservators for the world of skilled practical conservation and for the care of historic property. Our graduates enjoy one of the highest rates (up to 90%) of employment in the professional field. The department alumni list includes conservators in many major museums in the UK, some of whom occupy senior positions. Many of our graduates are employed throughout the private sector.
BA (Hons) Conservation Studies
The course is three-years, full-time, leading to a BA (Hons) degree validated by the Birmingham City University, Birmingham, U.K. Concentrating on the conservation and restoration of 3-D objects made of stone, wood and related materials such as plaster, terracotta, lacquer and japanning with particular attention paid to gilded and painted surfaces. Set within the context of the City & Guilds of London Art School, the course is uniquely placed to provide students with traditional skills, such as life drawing, stone and wood carving and gilding, all of which are essential in developing the aesthetic awareness necessary for the informed practice of conservation. The course integrates these skills and sensibilities with the technical skills and theoretical knowledge required for the preservation and reinstatement of works of art.
First year studies consist of seven modules. The Foundation Skills Modules integrate parts of the Historical Stone Carving and Ornamental Wood Carving programmes. These modules include the study of stone and wooden decoration, ornament forms, gilding, lacquer and japanning techniques, lime plaster modelling and plaster casting. Students participate in Drawing Studio classes, making studies both from life and from inanimate objects. These modules help the students develop the manual and observational skills essential to conservation practice as well as enabling them to understand the techniques and materials used in the fabrication of objects.
Starting from the spring term students concentrate on the study of such subjects as conservation ethics, the history and philosophy of conservation, legislation and health and safety. Stone conservation, chemistry and materials science are covered by the Conservation Science Module. In conjunction with conservation training students study the history of art and decorative styles with an emphasis on the history of sculpture and architecture. By the end of the first year students have developed manual and observational skills, knowledge of basic chemistry and materials and an understanding of the development of historical techniques.
Second year students are introduced to modern conservation techniques and in depth coverage of conservation theory in relation to stone, wood and frame conservation , including laser cleaning, materials science, the theory of colour and polychromy, microscopy of cross-sections and such analytical techniques as IR spectroscopy and mass-spectrometry. The study of the chemistry of cleaning and study of the behaviour and mechanisms of deterioration of materials is complimented by the extensive practical experience provided by the School's association with various museums and organisations. During the second year students are taught task skills and management, including contingency planning, the significance of conservation and restoration work, and their responsibilities as practitioners.
All second year students are required to undertake a summer placement in museums or private conservation practices. Recent host institutions include the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Museum, Tate Gallery, the Conservation Centre of the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside (Liverpool), the National Gallery of Art Washington DC, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Museum in Iceland, the Science Museum, , the Museum of London, the Royal Collection, Historic Royal Palaces, the Natural History Museum, the Watt's Gallery and the Wallace Collection. This period of practical experience helps to embed conservation theory and to further develop practical skills.
Third year students write a substantial independent research project under the supervision of tutors and in collaboration with the Materials Department at Imperial College London. The projects are based on the students' practical work and their personal research interests. All students undertake practical work on up to three 3-D objects that are provided by institutions such as English Heritage, St Paul's Cathedral, the Wallace Collection, the Tate Gallery, the Foundling Museum, the Natural History Museum, the William Morris Gallery or by private collectors. As part of the practical work, students are also required to study the appropriate historical and social backgrounds of objects in their care, in order to provide an informed context for their practical skills.

Bloody tax-dodgers! (And there's millions of 'em) – I Pay Road Tax
Some motorists feel they own the road because "they pay for it". Some hate on cyclists for being 'tax-dodgers' even though roads are paid for by general taxation not road tax, which was finally abolished in 1936, a process started by Winston Churchill in 1926. [It's car tax, not road tax - the clue is in the real name, Vehicle Excise Duty].
It's not a car tax, I can keep and drive whatever large engined monster i like on private property and roar around the estate as fast as i like belching out as much CO2 as I like without paying a penny. It is a tax to have a car on the road. Nice smooth shiny back stuff that makes it possible for you lycra wrapped numpties to pointlessly pedal in circles. Shut up and don't try and be the pedantic smart arse.

I'm going to Japan within the next couple of years, and I've been told that a lot of Asian girls are attracted to big dudes (or maybe just different guys; the only people I've known to have experienced this have been >6' white/black dudes so maybe the girls that hit on them were just into Americans or something) and I really hope that's true because I facken love asian girls

The female kills the male during sex by removing its head… Which has got to suck.
I had one the side of the house last week and that sucker had to be at 9 inches long and blended in almost perfectly.
The female does that if the male isn't quick enough. Sometimes he successfully pulls out (seemed like the right term) and survives.
I've been headless for the past 27 years! Cause I didn't pull out in time.
so with this bugs it is ok to have preature ejaculation?
It has that "I will kick your ass Motherfooker" look

Car bombs, violence mar Syria's truce
BEIRUT — Two deadly car bombs and sporadic fighting marred a shaky holiday truce Friday in Syria, although thousands of protesters used the brief respite in the civil war to pour into the streets and demand President Bashar Assad's ouster.
Chants of "Syria wants freedom!" rang out in the streets in the largest demonstrations in months, suggesting that a 19-month-old crackdown and sustained violence has not broken the spirit of those trying to rid the country of Assad's rule.

Are Januvia, glimepiride, and metformin XL causing water gain and bloating?
- Q: I have diabetes and take Januvia, glimepiride, and generic metformin XL. Do these medicines cause water gain and bloating? I feel so bloated in my stomach, and it's sometimes hard to breathe.
- A: There are many different types of medications, including oral drugs and injectable insulin, to treat diabetes. It is probably safe to generalize that some drugs hinder weight loss or even possibly cause weight gain. Unfortunately, some medications that are essential for type 2 diabetes do actually cause weight gain. Weight gain can occur from a stimulated appetite from low-blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Other times, some medications might actually cause hypoglycemia and increase appetite. Some of these medications that could stimulate the appetite are also used to treat type 2 diabetes. These drugs include Amaryl (glimepiride), Glucotrol (glipizide), and DiaBeta or Glynase (glyburides). Another class of medications used to treat diabetes is called thiazolidinediones which include Actos (pioglitazone) and Avandia (rosiglitazone). Sometimes, the thiazolidinedionones increase the number of fat cells by storing more fatty acids from the blood. Januvia is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. It works by regulating the levels of insulin your body produces after eating. Side effects of Januvia include headache, stomach upset, and loss of appetite. Studies show that Januvia has no effect on weight. Unfortunately, some insulins can also sabotage efforts to lose weight. It some depends on which medication is being used. However, studies have found that by actually adding metformin (Glucophage) to a drug regimen it can help slow down weight gain and sometimes increase weight loss. Most important to note is that insulin and oral medications to treat diabetes are very important and should never be skipped or stopped without the direction of a physician. Bloating can occur from the type of foods being eaten, stress, anxiety, or eating or drinking too fast and swallowing air. If bloating continues or is associated with stomach pain, consult a physician.

Integrity Lost: Part 4
An expose in the search for truth regarding the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, and the convoluted efforts to upend patients' rights
Written By
David Light

Integrity Lost:
An exposé in the search for truth regarding the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, and the convoluted efforts to upend patients' rights
Part 4: Dispensaries, compassion centers
In some communities, dispensaries popped up in numbers after the Act went into effect. Some people have suggested that the actions on the part of dispensary operators played a major role in prompting our legislators to act, while others defend both their need, and their right to exist.
There is indeed a role for dispensaries to play as well as an identifiable need for the invaluable services they provide to patients. Realistically, how many of these types of businesses are necessary to accommodate the needs of those patients who have an inability to provide for themselves or who simply seek a much simpler method of access to their medicine of choice?
Advocates for the free market system would say the answer is this: as many dispensaries should exist as the market demands, and the rest will soon fade away on their own. Like always, quality of product, level of service and the market itself will determine the outcome. You either believe in an unfettered market system or you don't. You can't have it both ways.
This had been a period of finding what that level of supply would equate to and it certainly would have adjusted on its own had it been allowed to do so. However, at the present time, our Court of Appeals has rendered this a moot point.
The best way to address the issue of dispensaries is through legislation or an initiative targeting that matter independently. There is no need to fool with the MMMA and the protections it affords patients and caregivers in attempting to resolve the dispensary issue. While there has been a great deal of disagreement between the parties involved, the inevitable stalemate warrants further exploring this matter on its own merit rather than "painting with a broad brush."
Many certified patients have shown through their patronage that getting their supply of medicine from dispensaries is the preferred method. They could acquire their medicine when neeeded, and in the limited quantity applicable to those personal needs. There was no fuss, no worries about exceeding the allowable amount and no knowledge in the art of growing safe medicine was required. Additionally, there were no equipment or materials to buy, and no costs to bear in operating such equipment.
For a large number of former dispensary patrons, their disabilities make it impossible to provide for their own needs and the availability of reliable caregivers to provide for them is often uncertain. Dispensaries were their only practical option. With the recent Court of Appeals ruling, those patients now feel helpless and at a loss as to how they should proceed from this point.
One MS sufferer and medical marijuana patient was recently quoted in the
saying, "I can't grow it myself because I can't get out of this chair."
The move to close down dispensaries by AG Schuette and his band of bullies was a direct personal assault on people such as this, who are the most vulnerable, and have a genuine need for this type of distribution system.
Could some operators of medical cannabis facilities as well as those who promote and facilitate the use of this natural alternative have used more discretion? That's very likely so.
While the general public has shown a willingness to embrace the medical use of cannabis products, still the topic of cannabis remains a sensitive one for many, including many of those who continue to support the idea in principle.

Who Are You To Judge?: It Makes Me Smile
Scratch, our Siamese, photographed with what would on a normal day be his dinner. Birds were shot at a local pet store and added in Photoshop. As the birds were photoraphed in cages, the bars they were behind had to be cloned out, and this took a lot of time and patience. Addition of shadows and direction of lighting effects were important factors to getting the image to look realistic.
Here's a step-by-step…
First, the original take. Scratch was SO cooperative in those days:-)
Next, a trip to the local pet store… shooting the birds wuz a piece of cake cause they were behind bars. Kinda like ducks in a barrel!
This was the hard bit… cloning out all those bars and separating the birds from their background. This took lots of time as so many of the bars ran through the important bits like the beaks and eyes, but it was an important stage to make the finished shot look real.
I selected the bird images that best suited the original image and pasted them in. Without the shadowing it still looks very flat and not very realistic.
The final image, compared to the the one above, shows the importance of adding the shadows and making sure the light is seemingly coming from the same direction in all the elements. The shadows were done by selecting and feathering areas to separate layers, filling the layers with black, and then reducing the opacity of the layers.
All shots taken on Fuji Reala negative print film with a Canon EOS-100 + EF 100mm macro lens, and scanned to digital on a Canon FS-2710 negative scanner. Editing done with Photoshop 6.
this is great I love it
This is gorgeous!! I love Scratchs colouring and blue eyes!

Billyboy this is superb, I know how hard it is to do all those things in Photoshop and this looks completely natural. And the subject matter is too cute! Loving it!!
I knew there was no way the kitten would not attach the birds
but a very nice shot
Barbie, thanks for appreciating the time that went into this and for the positive feedback, and it`s an honor to be in your favorites!
Daijiro, thank you… and what blows me away is that we had a siamese named Kato years ago. What are your thoughts on re-incarnation? Cheers, BB
This is great! Great job on the authenticity. Love the use of the blue of the bowl to complement the birds and the cat's eyes.

Currently, if patients or doctors look for specific drug information on AZ Health Connections, AstraZeneca's new corporate communications blog, they won't find any. And that's exactly how AZ—along with pretty much every other pharma company engaged in the social media sphere—wants it.
"The one area we're trying not to engage is specific questions about disease state," said Earl Whipple, senior director in AstraZeneca's corporate communications group and author of the blog.
Strict corporate control by pharma companies engaged in social media essentially destroys what makes the space so dynamic: the ability for users to express controversial information and personal opinions. Therefore, it's no wonder that company-controlled blogs struggle to develop active communities, especially as they are pitted against private blogs and message boards where users can freely express their views.
The true downside of such close corporate scrutiny is that it drives patients to Web sites with imperfect or erroneous information that can adversely affect their healthcare decisions. Yet because pharma companies are leery of risking an FDA violation for offering incomplete information amid unclear Internet regulations, that is where patients go.
Luckily, FDA seems to recognize that there is a problem. On November 12–13, the agency will convene in Washington, DC, to discuss regulations governing pharma communications on the Web; it's possible that relaxed regulations (should they emerge from the November meetings) will encourage companies like AstraZeneca to offer more social media content. Until then, however, it's impossible for pharma companies to create an online community with the most comprehensive information available.
For instance, AZ Healthcare Connections' comments policy may create a chilling effect on potential commenters—though it is the standard policy for pharma-produced blogs. It reads, in part, "We may not publish comments that could be misleading or confusing, or thinly disguised sales pitches for other products or services… We want to hear your stories, viewpoints and opinions—even if they are contradictory to ours."
"In order to share accurate and relevant information on our company and key issues, we need to be part of the conversations [that are] happening," said Whipple.
The question is: How exactly do you correct misconceptions about a product if they can't be mentioned?
So far there have been no comments on the AZ blog. Besides the introductory post, the blog offers only company-line stances on FDA social media regulation and healthcare reform. If content can't generate the type of product discourse pharma companies are looking for, perhaps a new approach to social media is needed to educate customers in an ethical and productive way.

How to Cook with Beer This Summer
A few recipes (and bottles) to get you started on your newest kitchen endeavor. But please, experiment. And use the good stuff. It matters.
By Evan S. Benn
The Bonus Cocktail: Srirachelada
Esquire drinks correspondent David Wondrich can tell you how to make a fail-safe Michelada, that unlikely but delicious Mexican combination of beer, hot sauce, and lime juice. In the new Sriracha Cookbook, author Randy Clemens takes the drink one step further by dosing it with the spicy Thai red-pepper sauce. The heat of the Sriracha plays off the coolness of lime and ice-cold beer, resulting in a drink you won't want to put down. Ever.

Bye-bye Slowey
The Twins are going to call Wings ace Kevin Slowey up this week so that he can pitch Game 2 of Friday's makeup doubleheader against K.C. This is terrible news for the Wings, who were hoping Slowey would pitch Friday against Buffalo in a game with major playoff implications.
Slowey is 10-4 and will win the IL ERA title with a 1.74 mark. That's the best mark in the league in 30-plus seasons. He is going to be the landslide choice as IL Pitcher of the Year.
The Wings, meanwhile, get another kick in the gut as they try to make the playoffs. A few weeks ago, Terry Ryan was in town and I asked him about September callups. He promised he would not raid the Red Wings roster in September. He said nothing about August, however.
The Syracuse Chiefs and Michael Jackson have one thing in common: Both wear one glove for apparently no reason. The Chiefs committed 10 errors Sunday night and lost to the equally hapless Ottawa Lynx. Apparently, the Chiefs only get up for games involving the Red Wings.

New here and so glad to have found this place

I am a 44 year old woman in my 2nd marriage. My marriage is seriously troubled with the fallout of serious issues with my husband's son from his first marriage, him not dealing with it and falling into a depression from which he refuses to get help but will medicate (which in my opionion is a bandaid). His depression manifested for years before diagnosis as anger, mostly directed towards me and my daughter from my first marriage. Even he admits that, but thinks we all should just forget about the past and move on. But for me, there are too many resentments and walls built up to just drop on request. I've insisted on marriage counseling during which he gave up, his own counseling, which he lied and gave up on. I even had us in a couple's communication course which he claims now to not have understood because he was newly medicated for depression.
Over the past 2 years, I've made changes in myself and managed to lose over 130 lbs. This has me at a weight I haven't been for 30 years. In 2 years I've gone from having to stop and rest when walking up to my 2nd floor to running my first 5K (ok, walking half of it LOL) in February and this weekend, my first ever 10K. This journey has in part made me realize what I'm missing and I started looking for an affair. I thought that what I wanted was a "fling" in which my self esteem could rise and I could deal with the things that are missing in my marriage. So about 5 months ago, I started talking online with men and after 2.5 months of that, I met with a man I'll call T., ironically on my birthday when it just happened to work out last minute to meet for a "quick" coffee. That turned into a 2-3 hour talk in which things went so well, that we made plans to meet later that night and yes, for sex. It was intense and probably due to my insecurities about myself, I was convinced I was never going to hear from him again. Um, nope...I saw him again the following day, and if anything, it was MORE intense but in a different way. The first night when we had sex it was frantic monkey sex (LOL) and the 2nd night it was slower, more sensual and everything I could have wanted.
We had a lot of conversations online and then in the that early week about expectations and such and his only concern (and what ended his previous and only affair of 2 years despite the fact that he says he loved her) was pressure to leave his wife. There are some cultural things involved in that (he was born in another country and married someone who is from the same culture). None of that bothered me because once again, I was in it for a "fling".
It's now 2 months later, and so much for the fling. LOL For the first few weeks, I was a MESS. Not trusting that he meant what he said and such and almost addicted to the man. But now, I couldn't be happier or more secure. The other day, he drove for 3 hours for what was supposed to be only an hour together during which he held my hands and told me he would be perfectly fine with just talking and holding each other but I was insanely craving the man so I wouldn't let that happen...and he ended up with me for 3 hours having to adjust his alibi...oops.
Anyway...getting all of this out in a safe place is such a relief. I hope to hang out here for a long time. Thanks for "listeniing".

Welcome Newvome! I haven't posted in a long time, but used to be a regular here .
I sympathize with much of your story, as I've lived a similar story. I think you've been given some good advice: focus on YOU, your own happiness. You do need to make some decisions about your marriage (and believe me, I stay, too, hoping for the man I fell in love with to come back), and to be relaxed about the affair (don't let yourself get caught up in it), just enjoy it for what it is.

Your head is in the right place, keep your expectations there and you will enjoy what you have. Do use this time to think about what you want in life and where you want to take yourself. Sounds like your affair guy will be a good support for you. Just don't attach yourself to him so firmly that you stay in a bad situation to keep him in your life. Also you are young enough to have enough life to live that letting go will give you time to heal and then find someone that can be a true partner to you. I hope you stay on the board and post as needed. Big hugs!

|Fri, 04-25-2014 - 7:59am
Don't be chased away, truth is perhaps many here need to wait and see a bit about what kind of support you are looking for. Their hearts are in the right place for helping, they just tend to come across like they are charging across a battle field with their guns blazing.
In almost every affair story, there is a back story and since the posters here don't know that story they post about what they do know. From being on the boards time and time again, they read the stories and feel the pain, they know affairs are really not the answer, but forget that it is a process you need to find on your own.
Along with everything your life has revolved around in the last seven years, I can totally see your need for an escape. Be true to yourself and take care of yourself.
I know you are waiting for the man you married to come back, sometimes life throws things at us that change us and the path of our lives. I am sure in part you feel a huge burden of guilt in the idea of leaving your husband in his depressed state. This is where once again I am going to tell you, be true to yourself, take care of yourself and your daughter, no one will do that for you but you.
Enjoy your affair for the escape it is, but don't get lost in it as it isn't going to solve your real life problems.
Remember many of the posters here want to see you live a happy and healthy life. Your original post seemed to toast the dreamy state of feelings you felt for your affair and what it is doing for you. You are very early into the affair and a fog of feel good feelings wrap around you. One tends to get sucked in and it becomes the place you seek your happiness and worth from. Since your AP has already had a previous A, he is deemed a serial cheater and a red flag is waved to the old time board members "oh no, here come another heartbreak" and the posters want to steer you in the right direction, they know an affair will not build your sense of worth.
Your self worth has taken a beating in your marriage, your husband is beyond your help, but one can not always see that and because you care, you take his happiness and health personally. Letting go doesn't mean you don't care, it sometimes means you just need to take care of yourself.
|Fri, 04-25-2014 - 4:29am
Just ignore the harsh comments, especially those regarding "why would he want you". I imagine he just likes you, and whether or not he's had affairs before is irrelevant, he wants you now and if you want him, enjoy what you have when you have it. It sounds like you've really been through a lot and you deserve a little happiness, an affair may not be the ideal way to get it, but I'm having one too and for the moment it's keeping me smiling, although I know it won't last forever
|Fri, 04-25-2014 - 1:59am
So many interesting comments. I assumed mistakenly that this was a SUPPORT board. Thanks for those who are...
For the record, I've been with my husband for over 14 years. The first 6 were great....I couldn't have asked for a better partner. Then all hell broke lose with the discovery that his son from his first marriage had been horrifically abused in his mother's home by his 2 stepbrothers there. This is what caused my husband's depression. He couldn't cope with the news itself, what had to be done (including a year long trial and all that surrounds that), lost interest in being a PARTNER in the marriage and the household and before the diagnosis of depression which was manifested in anger mostly towards myself and my daughter from my first marriage. He now admits he treated her badly because she was "normal" and his son was "damaged" and he was jealous. Yes, he said those words. He treated me badly because my response to what we learned about his son was to fight for his safety and security, something my husband couldn't cope with. He blames me for not "letting him grieve". All of this is horrible enough but when his son went on to start down the path of abusing my husband's and my daughter in the same way he was abused, I wasn't given the respect in asking for ONE visitation with his son to be somewhere other than our house. For years, all my husband could cope with was going to work. I have been put in the position for at least 7 years of being not only pretty much a single parent but also having to take care of him. And as bad as all this sounds, I haven't left because I keep thinking that the man I was with for the first 6-7 years might come back. For the moment, my resentments and walls are high though.
In the meantime, my weight loss has been a reaction to spending so much time and energy taking care of everything else and losing myself in the process. My affair is for the same reasons. I haven't had my needs met in my marriage in many years despite trying to explain myself, get us into counseling (he bailed), and even registering us for a couple's communication course in which he claims not to have understood anything. In fact, within days of meeting my AP, I sat my husband down and ONCE AGAIN asked him to please make an effort on meeting my needs and listed them. Once again, he made promises, said he knew I hadn't gotten a fair shake, and guess what? 2 months later...nothing has changed. I do not see our marriage lasting for the long term, but I keep giving him the chance to step up anyway.
Silly me for thinking this was a "support" board...
|Thu, 04-24-2014 - 8:53pm
If you are referring to me, I didn't really mean this as a scolding to the OP--I am really curious as to how her thought process was working--why, when she is unhappy in the marriage, was her first thought to having an affair instead of getting divorced? I know some people have reasons, whether it's financial, waiting for kids to grow up (I don't think that applies here), etc. I also know that some people don't set out on purpose to have an affair and it just happens. The OP may choose not to answer these questions but it might make her think about some things.
|Thu, 04-24-2014 - 6:11pm
Well, I haven't been on the board for several years. I see after the replies here nothing as changed. My affair also ended and yes at times it was very painful, but it was my choice to participate. I take the blame and dealt with all the A entailed. Ladies you know scolding is not going to work. Why do you have to be so harsh on a new comer? She is already tangled in the A, that isn't going to change until one of them decides it is time to end it. I can see asking pointed questions, but please show some patience to the new people that arrive here Just because some of us have lived it and know the obvious outcomes, doesn't mean berating these people is going to help. We are here to offer a safe place for them to share, don't chase them away from their only outlet of sharing.
Newvome, remember posting on a free forum board opens yourself up to all kinds of opinions and affairs are obviously an unfavorable topic in many eyes. So take what helps you and ignore the rest. Don't take it personally, because even if the posts seem harsh they are still trying to offer you help. We see all kinds of affairs here and the pain they cause. Everyone hopes to help someone avoid the pain.
|Thu, 04-24-2014 - 10:34am
I'm very confused about this thought process. Your marriage is shot--your DH won't go for counseling. You don't seem to have feelings for him. Then you really worked on yourself and made this amazing weight loss and now you have a new you. Why was your first thought that you should have an affair instead of that you should get divorced? That's where my first thought would be if the marriage seems to be over. Your AP told you that he's not going to leave his wife so what kind of a future do you see for yourself when you are already emotionally attached to him? I just can't see this ending well for you. Now that you see that men are attracted to the new you, why don't you get a divorce and find someone you can have an open relationship with?

Cincinnati 'Anchor Dream Team' Voting Spoiled by Hackers
First Major League Baseball had BALCO, then the Tour de France had Lance Armstrong, now the Cincinnati Enquirer's "TV Anchor Dream Team Tournament" is in jeopardy because of Internet bots.
John Kiesewetter, the Enquirer's media writer, told TVSpy between Wednesday at noon and 10:30 a.m. Thursday, more than 105,000 votes were cast in the meteorologist race between Steve Horstmeyer (WXIX) and John Gumm (WKRC). For what it's worth, according to Nielsen's 2012-2013 rankings, Cincinnati market has 897,890 households.
A clearly frustrated Kiesewetter wrote the competition would go on despite the hacking, "I never thought that people would abuse the system. I was wrong. We don't have a way right now to prevent autobot voting. So we've decided not to shut down the voting on my blog here, which ends at Thursday noon." Read more

Updated: November 4, 2012 6:25AM
Linebacker Lance Briggs knows how to find the end zone. He once rushed for 320 yards and six touchdowns in a high school game and had a 48-yard touchdown run against UCLA as a freshman at Arizona.
But at 31 and in his 10th season, Briggs' wheels on a 74-yard interception return opened some eyes in the Bears' 34-18 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night at Cowboys Stadium.
It didn't hurt that most of the Cowboys fastest players had to reverse field and fullback Lawrence Vickers (4.89 40-meter dash) was the closest pursuer. But 74 yards is a long way to the end zone. The play might end up being ruled a fumble recovery, but it doesn't matter. It was the Bears' longest return by a defensive player since Brian Urlacher returned an interception 85 yards for a touchdown in 2007 against the Packers.
"He made those first two guys miss,'' said Urlacher, who has scored on returns of 90, 85, 27 and 12 yards in his 13-year career. ''I've seen him before when he gets the ball in his hands. He was a running back in high school, so he knows what to do with it. It was a great play. I didn't see how he got the football. I just saw him running with it."
It was Briggs' fifth NFL touchdown, but first since a 21-yard fumble return against the Colts in 2008. He also scored on interception returns for 45 yards (2003 at Green Bay), 38 yards (2004 at Detroit) and 10 yards (2005 at Green Bay).
Just like old times
With Briggs' and cornerback Charles Tillman's interception-return touchdowns, the Bears have three defensive touchdowns this season and nine in their last 16 games. Tillman has three of them and D.J. Moore has two.
It's the biggest binge since Lovie Smith's first three seasons with the Bears (2004-06), when the defense scored 13 touchdowns — six in 2004, four in 2005 and three in 2006.
Top of the charts
Through four games, the Bears lead the NFL with 14 takeaways (the Falcons are second with 12).
The Bear's defense also is tied with the Houston Texans in net points allowed (33, 8.3 per game). The Bears' defense has allowed 54 points — including eight consolation points by the Cowboys with 34 seconds left Monday night — and have scored 21.
The next best in net points allowed are the 49ers (51), Cardinals (54) and Seahawks (58).
A ratings bonanza
The Bears-Cowboys game attracted 16.6 million viewers — the third largest audience for any program on cable television in 2012, according to ESPN. The top two cable events are the BCS title game between Alabama and LSU (24.2 million viewers) and the Rose Bowl between Wisconsin and Oregon (17.5 million viewers).
In Chicago, the Bears-Cowboys game earned a 17.3 rating on ESPN and a 15.2 rating on Ch. 9, for a combined rating of 32.5 in the market, according to ESPN. The game drew a 26.1 rating in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
Home away from home
Bears players and Smith were impressed with the large contingent of Bears fans at Cowboys Stadium. By the fourth quarter they nearly took over the place.
''Glad you brought that up — I should have,'' Smith said in his post-game press conference. ''We travel well. There's nothing like hearing the 'Let's Go Bears' chant early and throughout the game. I thought our fans were outstanding. The Chicago Bear colors were all around. I'm glad we are able to give our loyal fans that type of effort.''

This time of year there's always headlines warning about the dangers of leaving doggies in the car, and still there's always a couple of really stoopid humans who think their dog will be okay for a few minutes while they pop in to the shops – and their poor dogs are roasting away in the car. The fact is us dogs can't handle the heat very well, and we need some help to keep cool.
Some of my doggie friends best tips for keeping cool
My friends the Entlebuchers Megan & Basil have some really pawsome cooling doggie coats that their humans soak in water to help help keep them cool during the day, and their humans bring along water on their walks too. My lil sister Bella has her own paddle pool in the garden, and I just love going swimming in the Thames on my walks and I keep to the shady side of the road on my way home. My buddy Archie loves the doggie ice cream he sells in his shop, and he's decided that he wants very little exercise no that its so hot outside.
As you can see we've all got our own tips and tricks for keeping cool in summer – but there's one thing we have in common and that's the fact that our humans would never, ever intentionally leave us in the car in hot weather.
Have you really prepared for travelling in hot weather?
But sometimes things don't go exactly according to plan. What if you get caught in really bad traffic when your dog is with you in the car? What if there's an accident on the road and you have to stop your car & switch the air con off? Its not a good situation, but that's exactly what happened to me and Bella and our humans last week.
We were traveling along the M25 (for our overseas readers - that's a biiiiig motorway ) when all of a sudden we had to stop the car because of an accident that had happened far away. The traffic wasn't moving at all and all the humans started stepping outside their cars, walking around, chatting, and making jokes about the situation.
Stuck in a really, really hot car
It was around midday and the temperature was slowly rising. No shade in sight and although our humans opened all the windows in the car Bella and I started to get really, really long tongues. The humans checked the temperature of the tarmac – way too hot for doggie paws so getting us outside was not an option.
Our humans walked around and opened the boot to check our water bowl, and as soon as people around us saw Bella and me sitting there they sprung into action and started offering us more water. One man even ran up to our car and poured our bowl full even though we already had plenty! The drinking water alone wasn't enough to keep us cool though but luckily for us, Bella's human had prepared lots of bottles with frozen water for us that they took out and started rubbing into our coats. I dipped my paws in some of the icy water too and it was pawsome.
Then they took out our soft bed from the boot (it was really, really hot and fluffy) and sprinkled some water on a blanket for us to lie on instead. We felt a lot better after our ice bath, but the sun was still shining and slowly heating up our car, roasting us like hot dogs on a BBQ. If only we could find some shade! Then humans still had their worried faces on and came up with another great idea. They put a blanket across the rear window of the car, making a snug, shaded little nest for us doggies in the boot.
We snoozed like that in the car for about an hour or so before the traffic started to move again and the air con could come back on. By then Bella and I had decided that what we really, really wanted to do more than anything else was to go to the beach. The humans agreed and changed our travel plans and drove us to the coast and it was pawsome.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has ever got caught in traffic like that? Do you have any tips for staying cool?

silver acetate
what is silver acetate soluble in?
by Anonymous | 14 February 2005 - 11:48pm
Martin17, the reason I asked what silver acetate is soluble in is because it is the only acetate that is insoluble in water.
by Martin17 | 15 February 2005 - 7:38am
At 20[sup]o[/sup]C, approximately 1.04 gr. of AgC[sub]2[/sub]H[sub]3[/sub]O[sub]2[/sub] will dissolve in 100 cc of H[sub]2[/sub]O, which is far more soluble than CaOH.

- irrigation management equipment and supplies
Date 2004-04-20 Availability unrestricted Abstract
The most common management problem associated with irrigated agriculture is knowing when to apply irrigation and how much of it is required. This is termed irrigation scheduling. Despite numerous techniques and tools developed by the scientific community to aid and improve irrigation scheduling, surveys have shown that farmers growing the same crops in the same region use different amounts of water. This is because of low adoption rates of available irrigation scheduling aids and/or their poor application for various reasons ranging from cost, accessibility and simplicity of the methods. So, as part of a WRC funded project on using Wetting Front Detectors, we seek a simple approach that can be used to better manage irrigation using wetting front detectors (WFD). This prototype WFD was developed in Australia, and was designed to be simple so that it can be understood and used by farmers at any level of training. There are two versions; one is electronic called a FullStop and the other is mechanical, called the Machingilana, a sePedi word for a watchman. The mode of operation of this WFD is based on the physical properties of water movement in the soil or a porous media. The tool give a "Yes" or "No" answer to whether the water has penetrated to a specific depth, and that's all the farmer needs to know to adjust his irrigation amount of interval according to a chosen algorithm.
This experiment on wetting front detectors was undertaken at the University of Pretoria experimental station to: (1) Evaluate two different methods of using electronic wetting front detectors, (II) evaluating two different methods of using mechanical wetting front detectors, and (III) to compare the accuracy of the wetting front detector method against the neutron probe and a computer-based irrigation-scheduling model.
Six treatments were evaluated. They were referred to as the Machingilana (MACH), crop factor (CF), FullStop 1 (FSI), FullStop 2 (FS2), neutron probe (NP) and Soil Water Balance model (SWB) treatment. The first four treatments used WFDs in different ways to manage irrigation. Lucerne (Medicago sativa, variety WL 525HQ) was chosen as experimental crop. The NP method was used as control treatment, given the acceptance and credibility this method has received from researchers. The aim was to use dry matter production per volume of water used as an indicator of treatment performance. However, it was later discovered that due to the extensive root system of Lucerne, the crop could compensate for either under- or over-irrigation and dry matter yield was not a good indicator of treatment performance. Statistical analysis of the dry matter yield data collected from three cycles revealed that the treatments were not significantly different at a 5% confidence level, although there was great variation in total amount of irrigation applied to each treatment per growth cycle. This is due to the fact that the crop was able to mine into deeper soil layers for water, although this strategy would not be sustainable in the long run without extra irrigation applied. In the light of this, the trend in soil water deficit obtained with the neutron water meter for each treatment was used to evaluate the six treatments.
The four treatments based on WFDs (Machingilana, FS1, FS2 and CF) performed comparatively well to the control and SWB model treatments. However, this is not without discrepancies in all the WFD treatments or the control and SWB model treatment, but the problems associated with each treatment's successes or failures have been outlined, and with follow-up research, those problems can be rectified. It is concluded that WFDs can be valuable, simple and affordable tools to better manage irrigation, provided appropriate guidelines for using them are applied.

WEST - County star Willie Nelson has donated more than $120,000 for relief efforts following a deadly fertilizer plant explosion near his Central Texas hometown.
A representative for Nelson on Monday afternoon presented a check for nearly $81,000 to the West Volunteer Fire Department. Most of the money was raised during Nelson's Austin-area concert last month celebrating his 80th birthday.
About $40,000 was donated to Nelson's hometown of Abbott, which had a truck destroyed in the massive April 17 blaze in West. The explosion killed 14 people and left about 200 hurt.
Texas law enforcement officials on Friday launched a criminal investigation into the explosion at West Fertilizer Co. that damaged or destroyed dozens of structures.
West is about 70 miles south of Fort Worth.

Gross Estate — Section 2033 is a fundamental building block for estate planners as it deals primarily with the question of which interests in property are includible in a decedent's gross estate. This question is to be distinguished from questions of valuation, at which §2031 is directed, although the two questions are often intertwined. The §2033 issues are primarily theoretical or analytical in nature, and often the question of whether and to what extent §2033 applies will depend on the theoretical rationale of the estate tax. Written by Christopher G. Stoneman, Esq., this Portfolio discusses
This Portfolio analyzes the §2033 issues including problems relating to the instant before death, the instant of death, and the instant after death. Interests that expire before death, such as life estates, are not includible in the gross estate under §2033, nor are interests that do not come into existence until after death, such as proceeds of wrongful death actions. This Portfolio also deals with certain exemptions from the gross estate which originated outside of §2033, such as exemptions for property belonging to Native Americans and Housing Project Notes.
Gross Estate — Section 2033 allows you to benefit from:

Find a Dirty Double interactive map, route profile, and ride description, as well as pictures, personal notes, and more about the Dirty Double bike ride.
145 miles with 14,200 feet of climbing
28 miles with 4,300 feet of climbing on dirt
145 miles 14,200 feet • Recorded with a Garmin Edge 305
Dirty Double • Description
The Dirty Double is an awesome all-terrain ride through East San Diego County. Different distances are available, including a double century with 4 packed dirt sectors, a super century with 3 dirt sectors, and a century with 2 dirt sectors.
This ride includes 3 dirt sectors. Viejas Grade starts at mile 12.9 and is 4.3 miles long with 1,200 feet of elevation gain. Boulder Creek starts at mile 23.5 and is 12.8 miles long with 1,360 feet of elevation gain (with double-digit down- and uphill grades). Black Canyon starts at mile 66.1 and is 11.4 miles long with 1,790 feet of elevation gain.
The route begins in Alpine and leads up to Viejas Grade Road, which includes dirt sector 1. Then it follows Boulder Creek Road, which includes dirt sector 2.
Next, Highway 78 leads down through Santa Ysabel, and Old Julian Highway leads down into Ramona. From here the route climbs Black Canyon Road, which includes dirt sector 3.
Mesa Grande Road turns into Highway 79, which passes through Santa Ysabel, and Wynola Road and Banner Grade Road climb up to Julian.
Next, Highway 79 passes Lake Cuyamaca and descends to Descanso. Japatul Valley Road and Japatul Road continue down towards Loveland Reservoir.
Finally, Dehesa Road drops down to the town of Harbison Canyon, and Harbison Canyon Road and South Grade Road climb back up to Alpine.

The dirt sectors make this ride significantly more challenging and rewarding. This year, none of the riders completed the 200 mile route, which in my opinion is tougher than any of the double centuries I have completed.
The support was excellent, Rob and Jo of CCSD (Cycling Camp San Diego) are putting on some of the best events out there.

Cute Fish Air Freshener
Product Number - 751198
Bin Number - CH13-10
This cute goldfish air freshener has quite the silly look. The fish sports bug eyes that pop out in comical fashion. The base of the air freshener opens up to emanate a sweet scent that is not at all fishy! Append this to your dashboard or your office work space to remind yourself not to be so serious.
