Like Joe's website it is reasonably well produced, although it hasn't been proofread. It appears to work to a template format and contains mainly national UKIP articles, with one item on the Cogges Link Road in Witney, opposed by UKIP, an interview with Nikolai Tolstoy and an item by his twin Nicolai (sic).
Tolstoy's article attacks David Cameron's stance on the EU and I am broadly in agreement with it. It is reasonably well crafted, but that is what you'd expect from an author of longstanding. Nikolai misses out any reference to treason and archaic laws, which is what he originally intended to fight the election on, so he seems to have adopted a more realistic stance.
Where the real Tolstoy comes out is his interview with journalist Rachel Tingle. the link in the previous article tells you about her(copyright ELF resources):
Rachel Tingle is an economist and journalist with a wide range of experience working in economic research and consultancy; in print and television journalism; and for a number of senior British politicians. She has specialised in writing about the interface between Christianity, economics and politics, and has written hundreds of articles and two books in this area. Her booklet, Gay Lessons: How Public Funds are Used to Promote Homosexuality Among Children and Young People led directly to the Section 28 legislation in Britain which, for 15 years (until its repeal last year), banned the promotion of homosexuality using public money.
I make no comment.
The interview, headed PPC Tolstoy Brings Sense of History to Looming Election, is long and I won't reproduce it in full. I would point out that is concentrates on all those things which are irrelevant to the people of Witney constituency. The interview discusses Nikolai's very distant relationship with Leo Tolstoy, as if that matters. I have no doubt that I am also distantly related to genuinely famous people, as many of us are. He discusses his hereditary title, still used despite exile, and his pride in being Russian(Nikolai has chosen to take Russian citizenship in recent years). Nikolai talks of his public school education and his book Stalin's Secret War (presumably being reprinted for the election). It takes 2 of 3 columns to get to why he joined UKIP and it is half way down the third column before he discusses fighting 4 other elections, none of them in Witney. He doesn't mention his declining vote in Wantage. Nikolai doesn't rate his chances against David Cameron (which is realistic as nobody else does) and talks of a high national vote. A high national vote makes no difference in a first past the post system and any votes for Nikolai will not gain seats for UKIP elsewhere and will detract from my real attempt to unseat David Cameron. Finally he says he would like to meet as many people as possible - this is difficult as he is rarely seen in West Oxon and doesn't meet local people on a daily basis.
Nikolai makes no mention of what he has done for the people of Witney in the last 74 years - nothing. He doesn't discuss local issues because he is largely detached from them. There is no mention of his membership of the Beefsteak Society, his campaign to replace the Queen as head of state with a descendant of the Stuarts, his campaigns to restore the Romanovs and other crowned heads and his support for the Russian Summer Ball, a several hundred pounds per person (with accommodation) Tsarist gathering. Why?
Finally a bit of sophistry from UKIP Oxfordshire. On the back page there is a list of UKIP contacts under the heading 'There's a UKIP branch in Oxfordshire close to you'. Five branches are listed - UKIP Oxford (a real branch headed by Dr Peter Gardner), UKIP Witney led by David Phipps (a hard working branch which contests the occasional seat or 2) and UKIP Banbury (John Brown heads a branch that actually contests quite a few elections). UKIP Henley doesn't exist since their last active chairman Albert Burgess, a conspiracy theorist, was expelled for speaking at a BNP meeting alongside Nick Griffin. The contact name is Steve Harris, a senior member of UKIP living the other side of London. UKIP Wantage, the 'branch' from which Tolstoy comes, is headed by Nigel Farage's Kent based researcher David Samuel-Camps. Neither Wantage nor Henley have committees or meetings as far as I know. Oh dear!

Mitochondrial proteins with N-terminal targeting signals are transported across the inner membrane via the presequence translocase, which consists of membrane-integrated channel proteins and the matrix Hsp70 import motor. It has not been known how preproteins are directed to the import channel. We have identified the essential protein Tim50, which exposes its major domain to the intermembrane space. Tim50 interacts with preproteins in transit and directs them to the channel protein Tim23. Inactivation of Tim50 strongly inhibits the import of preproteins with a classical matrix-targeting signal, while preproteins carrying an additional inner membrane-sorting signal do not strictly depend on Tim50. Thus, Tim50 is crucial for guiding the precursors of matrix proteins to their insertion site in the inner membrane.

I'm not a huge fan of our sink. I've always had deep sinks and this one is kind of shallow. The faucet we had didn't work well, so the first time I did dishes I got soaked from the water splashing all over! I told my man we could get a new faucet or he could do dishes. Guess which happened?
The pictures are terrible (again)! I forgot to get a before picture, so I took a picture of the old one out in the garage.
Isn't she a beauty? I mean, the wood on the handles? Love at first sight!
Anyway, we found this true beauty
The best part? We had one picked out. The price fit our budget a little better. But the box was opened and a piece was missing. The other one we liked was out of stock. So, we got this one for the price of the first one ($30 difference)! I don't know if I've ever been so excited about a faucet before. Ahhh….homeownership!
(Question: do any of you have that little nook behind your sink? What do you put there? I'm at a loss.)
5 Comments on "Simple update"
Nice faucet! I don't have that little nook behind my faucet but I've seen others put herb pots there
Hey! I got a new faucet this week too! Mine was free though. My MIL gave it to us and it's really nice! Remind me to share a pic with you so we can smile some more over faucets!
pretty faucet! i've been begging my husband for a new faucet for years. i should give him the "dishes" ultimatum {wink} if i had a nook, i'd probably put a small faux plant, a framed picture or scripture art, and maybe a kitchen-y scented candle or my Scentsy warmer. happy dish-washing!

Project Canvas to launch as YouView in 2011
Formerly known as Project Canvas, YouView is the official name for the subscription-free on-demand TV service and internet portal.
It's a kick in the teeth for early adopters of Freeview HD: Project Canvas - now officially named YouView - will not be compatible with existing set-top boxes.
YouView has been revealed as the brand that will bring a new free-to-air internet-connected TV service to UK homes next year. Previously, it was thought that the service would be offered as a free upgrade to existing Freeview HD set-top boxes and TVs that had an Ethernet port. This definitely isn't the case according to at least one Freeview HD box maker. We spoke to Humax, which confirmed that YouView would not be compatible with any of its existing hardware and would require viewers to invest in a new set-top box.
The seven partners behind Project Canvas - BBC, ITV, BT, Channel 4, TalkTalk, Arqiva and Five - have announced the formation of YouView TV Ltd as well as the appointment of its new CEO, Richard Halton. In the first half of 2011, viewers will be able to buy a subscription-free YouView set-top box that will "combine their favourite digital TV channels with the last seven days' catch up TV, as well as bringing a full range of on-demand services and interactive extras straight to the living room".
Essentially, YouView will combine Freeview and Freeview HD channels with the catch-up TV you can already access on your computer, including services from the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and five. There's no word yet on whether the catch-up service would be in HD or not. Halton said, "YouView is a brilliant new subscription-free TV service which combines the best TV with on demand services and internet content. I am delighted to be leading the team who will make it a reality and think it will change the way we watch TV forever".
YouView will introduce a programme guide that goes backwards as well as forwards. This will enable people to easily see what's on now alongside everything they've missed in the last 7 days, including programmes from broadcasters like the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and five, which already have an on-demand offering. The set-top boxes will work like existing PVRs, allowing you to pause live TV or record an entire series at the touch of a button.
Viewers will also be able to simply search for the kind of programmes they like by genre, interest or locality, including films, sports and new content from the internet. Plans to offer an 'app' store will also give viewers new types of services and levels of interactivity with their favourite programmes.
Like Freeview boxes, YouView will be available for a one-off fee, with no contract. The boxes may be offered at special rates as part of new or improved broadband packages. You can find out more at YouView's website.

149A- Successful exit strategy for 'stage-2′ entrepreneur- Barry Curlee
March 25th, 2011[display_podcast]
In this episode of The Struggling Entrepreneur, we deliver an interview with Barry Curlee, who is considered to be what he calls a "Stage-2 Entrepreneur." This means that he did not create a startup firm as a founding solo-preneur; rather, he took over an existing business in trouble, then ran and managed the business as an entrepreneur.
At first with another co-owner or partner, Barry eventually ended up with the business by himself–which forced him to drive the business to success as a "solo-preneur" until he was able to execute an Exit Strategy to sell the business.
As you will hear during the interview in this audio episode, Barry's key strength was being able to get the right people for the business from his own judgment and hiring. The people were the most valuable asset, and Barry knew how to develop them, reward them and motivate them to excel within the business environment.
Barry also kept enhancing his own business skills by keeping an open mind for looking at learning as an eternal challenge.
Another factor in his success was the networking and relationship-building activities in which Barry participated–and then excelled. Especially key was the Rotary Club membership that helped him create long-term business relationships with other successful entrepreneurs and Small Business owners.

Playing With History
While playing on the grounds of Laurel Hill Golf Club, you can't help but feel like you are being watched, especially on holes 10 through 14, which are rimmed by guard towers and fences.
The images tell the story, from prison to parkland. Constructed on the grounds of the former Lorton Correctional Facility, the 18-hole course does not run from its past. Hole No. 15's terrain was formerly the prison guards' shooting and tear gas practice range and just outside the 7th and 18th fairways, you'll find remnants of the two former Nike missile sites that were active during the Cold War.
Have you had the opportunity to play at Laurel Hill Golf Club or want to know whether it is worth a visit?

There's hardly a tree on the entire course. I guess you could call it links style. It was really windy when I played, especially on the elevated areas. I may play it again after the clubhouse and other amenities are complete. I thought the rate should've been discounted since there was only a trailer and a lot of unpaved areas - the course was fine, but you're also paying for the ambiance. The starter was a complete yahoo. Cartpath only is bogus when the weather/ground is dry.

Monte BallDirector, Fund email@example.com
What does "independent, non-profit,community hospital" mean?
It means that unlike so many healthcare institutions regionally and around the country, Union Hospital belongs to the community it serves. A board of trustees consisting of leaders from cities and towns throughout Tuscarawas County helps determine policies and manage costs.
While for-profit hospitals answer to private investors — generating as much revenue as possible to pay dividends — any revenue generated by Union is applied directly and completely to programs and services.
As well, our mission as an independent healthcare provider involves delivering quality care to all patients, not just those who can afford to pay. Private hospitals can turn those patients away because theyre not good for business; at Union, providing care to everyone is our business.
The hospital charges for its services.Why is it necessary to raise money?
Keeping costs down while remaining true to our mission is probably the greatest challenge we face. The difference between what you pay for healthcare and the real cost of that healthcare is significant, and the fact that Union Hospital was recently recognized one of the top 5 in Ohio in patient affordability speaks to our attention to watching the bottom line.
Additionally, Union provided over $6 million in charity care last year alone. Turning to the community for financial support — not often and only when the need is real — enables us to maintain affordability and quality.
So many non-profits are asking for my help. Why is a gift to Union Hospital a sound return on investment?
Certainly, more charities are soliciting funds more often than at any time in recent history. Economic challenges alone mean more people are in need of emergency services, and when educational, cultural, and developmental organizations are added to the mix, its difficult to know where philanthropy should be directed.
Union Hospitals value — your return on investment — lies in:

Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker says everyone judges and separates, and these differences create definitions and problems.
Whitaker offered his views on prejudice in March at Texas Hall in conjunction with the University's OneBook program.
The soft-spoken Texas native grew up in a rough area of California where he saw neighbors killed. Life can be hard on dreams, he said, and sometimes people sabotage themselves. He remembers segregated restrooms and school busing issues.
Biases against gender, economic status, sexuality and age abound, he told the audience of more than 1,000. As an auditioning actor, he encountered a variety of prejudices.
"I was a real college football player when I tried out for my first film. But the director told me I didn't look like one; that I wasn't big enough and I was too smart."
Whitaker won that role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), only to face discrimination at future auditions. Directors said he was too soft to play the bad guy, not intelligent enough to play a doctor.
He kept campaigning to do multiple roles and, in 2007, won the Best Actor Academy Award for his portrayal of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland. Whitaker is among a select group of African-American actors with a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
"When you start defining things, that creates desires. Desires fuel how you view the world. Prejudice comes from something inside you," said Whitaker, who answered questions from the audience and signed autographs following the lecture.
Through the OneBook program, freshman English classes read the same book. This past year's selection, Maus: A Survivor's Tale, focused on prejudice (see story: 'OneBook's prejudice theme teaches lessons').
Independence, education and happiness were the themes of filmmaker Spike Lee's lecture at Texas Hall in February.
Part of Black History Month events, the twice Oscar-nominated producer's appearance followed a weeklong campus film festival and concert that focused on his movies.
Lee talked about life's challenges and told the crowd that a strong work ethic and careful career selections would define their futures.
"You must be strong enough to tell the people you love what is, or is not, your calling," he said. "Stand up and make your choice."
Studying and using college years to discover what truly brings happiness should be priorities, he said, adding that careers span many years-and that's too long to pursue anything less than your dreams.
"The people who are happy choose their own path," he said. "I give thanks because I am doing what I love."
Lee was born in Atlanta in 1957 and moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., as a child. His father was a jazz musician and his mother a teacher. He earned a bachelor's degree from Morehouse College in Atlanta, then developed his filmmaking skills at Clark Atlanta University. He graduated in 1978 from the Tisch School of Arts with a master's degree. He teaches at New York University and Columbia University.
He produced a 45-minute film in 1983 that won a student Academy Award, but to his surprise, success did not bring money. His utilities were disconnected and he received an apartment eviction notice before he realized he needed to work harder. Now, 35 films later, Lee describes his works as pointed political messages, insightful and different. His movies frequently examine African-American themes.
"I grew up going to the movies every Saturday," he said. "The people I saw in my community were not represented on the screen. As a filmmaker, I wanted to change that."
Do the Right Thing (1989) was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. In 2006 he directed and produced When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, a documentary about life in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Will This Upgrade Help Synovus Financial (SNV) Stock Today?
Story updated at 10 a.m. to reflect market activity.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Synovus Financial (SNV - Get Report) was upgraded to "equal-weight" by Morgan Stanley (MS) Thursday.
Synovus gained 0.9% to $3.24 in morning trading.
Thefirm set a price target of $3.30 for the regional bank. Morgan Stanley analysts said the upgrade is a valuation call, as Synovus' credit is improving.
Must read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks SELL NOW: If you own any of the 900 stocks that TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified as a 'Sell'...you could potentially lose EVERYTHING in the next 6-12 months. Learn more. ----------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates SYNOVUS FINANCIAL CORP as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate SYNOVUS FINANCIAL CORP (SNV) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the company's return on equity has been disappointing." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Banks industry. The net income increased by 63.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $29.57 million to $48.42 million.
- The gross profit margin for SYNOVUS FINANCIAL CORP is currently very high, coming in at 87.23%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 16.53% is above that of the industry average.
- Looking at where the stock is today compared to one year ago, we find that it is not only higher, but it has also clearly outperformed the rise in the S&P 500 over the same period. Although other factors naturally played a role, the company's strong earnings growth was key. We feel that the combination of its price rise over the last year and its current price-to-earnings ratio relative to its industry tend to reduce its upside potential.
- Despite the weak revenue results, SNV has outperformed against the industry average of 13.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 0.8%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. When compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market, SYNOVUS FINANCIAL CORP's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Good afternoon all,
Just thought i'd say hi as I've just joined today. I've has my 2004 Fiesta 1.4 Flame for 5 months now. All was well until the water pump failed last week The car is not even 5 years old and only got 33,000 miles on the clock so I was bit shocked that it had failed so soon.
I'm after a bit of advice as to whether this is a common problem with this engine? The mechanic at the Ford Dealer that did the work suggested this was the case, so I would be interested to know whether anybody has had similar issues.
Any comments will be most welcome.

Rite Aid Corp. has signed an expanded distribution agreement with McKesson Corp. that will include both brand-name drugs and generic drugs.
Inside This Issue - News
CAMP HILL, Pa. – Rite Aid Corp. has signed an expanded distribution agreement with McKesson Corp. that will include both brand-name drugs and generic drugs.
The alliance builds on the strength of Rite Aid as the country's third-largest drug chain and the experience of McKesson as a leader in pharmaceutical sourcing and supply chain management.
The agreement, which extends through March 2019, appears to be a major boost for the efficiencies of both companies.
Under the expanded agreement, McKesson will take responsibility for the sourcing and distribution of generic pharmaceuticals for Rite Aid as part of the proprietary McKesson One Stop Generics program. Rite Aid has nearly 4,600 outlets in the United States, and its stores should benefit from the full value of McKesson's daily direct-to-store delivery service model for brand and generic products, providing a higher level of service to customers.
"We are excited to expand our partnership with McKesson," said John Standley, Rite Aid's chairman and chief executive officer. "The combination of Rite Aid's and McKesson's generic purchasing scale and sourcing expertise, in conjunction with McKesson's industry-leading drug distribution capabilities, will enable us to achieve supply chain efficiencies, provide even better service to Rite Aid customers and generate additional cash flow to fuel our company's growth."
John Hammergren, chairman and chief executive officer of McKesson, added: "We are extremely proud of McKesson's industry-leading service levels and the strength of our global sourcing and supply chain capabilities, which means that we deliver the right products at the right time with exceptional efficiency for our customers.
"Rite Aid has been a valued customer to McKesson for more than 16 years, and we are honored at the trust they have placed in us as we expand our partnership."
For McKesson, which is currently ranked 14th on the Fortune 500, the deal comes just days after it announced it had secured the acquisition of the Stuttgart, Germany-based pharmaceutical distribution firm Celesio Group.
McKesson reached an agreement with the majority shareholder Franz Haniel & Cie, while buying Celesio convertible bonds from the New York City-based hedge fund Elliott Management Corp. The two deals give McKesson ownership of more than 75% of Celesio's shares.
For Rite Aid, the expanded partnership with McKesson puts it in a better position to challenge its major rivals. Walgreen Co. and the European giant Alliance Boots GmbH announced in 2012 that it was forming a strategic partnership to create the first global pharmacy-led health and well-being enterprise. Boots has a presence in more than 25 countries and employs over 108,000 people.
Last year it was announced that Walgreens and Boots were also joining forces with AmerisourceBergen Corp. to sign a 10-year distribution deal. The international alliance helped create a clearer path for more U.S. drugs to launch more quickly in foreign markets. It also gave Walgreens a significant boost over rivals, as generic drugs comprise an ever-increasing percentage of U.S. prescription drug sales.
The deal has helped Walgreens and Boots expand aggressively in Europe, where generic drugs are not so widely used, and in developing Asian and African markets, where pharmacy growth is strong.
Not to be outdone, CVS Caremark Corp. and Cardinal Health Inc. signed an agreement at the turn of this year to form the largest generic drug sourcing entity in the U.S. The joint venture is expected to be operational as early as July 1 and will have an initial term of 10 years. To reflect the 50/50 agreement, the deal includes a quarterly payment of $25 million over the life of the partnership from Cardinal to CVS.

Neal Schon: Steve Perry Entitled To Play Journey Songs
Friday, April 11, 2014
Although he's gone out of his way to say that Steve Perry is not rejoining Journey, Neal Schon clearly still has a soft spot for the band's former frontman and songwriter. In the recent months, both Schon and Perry have seemed to be teetering on some type of re-connection, but there's been nothing more than public hints -- and then denials. Perry left Journey in 1998 rather than be forced into hip-surgery so that the band could tour behind their hit reunion album Trial By Fire. He's currently prepping his first solo album in 20 years.
Neal Schon spoke about Perry to Classic Rock magazine and explained, "I never kicked him out of the band. He chose not to perform. He didn't want to sing with us. He didn't want to do a record. He didn't want to do anything. That was pretty much where he was at. And he wanted us to sit still and not do anything too. But we all wrote the music together, and I think we're all entitled to play it if we wish."
Although Journey's key '80s lineup is now fractured, with only Schon, Jonathan Cain, and Ross Valory touring with the band, Schon has great memories of his days working with Perry: "Steve and I had some really amazing times together. He was a very funny guy, and he liked to party with the best of us. In the beginning, when we wrote 'Lights' and 'Patiently,' the first two songs we wrote together, we realized immediately that we had chemistry. And the guy was really funny to be around, so we hung out all the time. We were very tight and close for years and years."
Nearly 15 years since splitting with Perry, Schon says that there truly are no hard feelings: "Things happen along the way -- women come and go. And things sometimes go sideways, which it did, and I was sorry to see that happen, but it did. It wasn't really a fault of anyone's. We all had a lot of different things to deal with: you're growing up, you're in a big band, and you're making lots of money. You're doing whatever you're doing and it's not helping the situation. It's hard to keep it all together. But things happen for a reason."
Steve Perry told us that upon first hearing Neal Schon play, he recognized not only a kindred spirit -- but the missing link to his creative fulfillment: "I just simply said, 'If I was ever, in my life gonna be successful as a singer; I gotta get a guitar player that plays like this, 'cause this guy's gonna kick my ass to sing better than I probably ever could without him' -- and that's exactly what happened."

Poverty rate: Are Americans really poorer than in 1960?
(Read article summary)Poverty rate rose to 14.3 percent in 2009, but government figures don't capture very well the long-term rise in living standards.
Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP
Poverty shot up last year in the United States with one in seven Americans falling below the poverty line. And it's likely to get worse, because unemployment remains stubbornly high.
But the poverty rate, as calculated by the US Census Bureau, only tells part of the story.
It makes it easy to figure out that a shocking number of Americans – nearly 44 million – couldn't afford a minimal basket of goods. That's the highest total since 1959.
What these numbers don't capture very well is the long-term improvement in living standards. And that has big political implications.
"There are so many people out there who have used for political arguments [the idea] that we've lost the war on poverty," says James Sullivan, a professor of economics at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. "Maybe we haven't won the war on poverty, but in terms of long-term changes in deprivation, there is considerable evidence that we have made long-term progress there. And that evidence is just missed in the official numbers."
A major problem is that by strictly looking at income, as the Census Bureau does, the poverty measure doesn't capture the changes in consumption patterns.
Consider, for example, all the things that people, even poor people, have come to take for granted that didn't even exist in 1959: countertop microwave ovens, touch-tone phones, cellphones, personal computers, the Internet, e-mail, GPS systems, air-cushioned running shoes, CDs, DVDs, videogames, and modern ATMs. [Editor's note: This sentence was changed to reflect the fact that bulkier, under-the-counter microwave ovens did exist in 1959.]

Butterfly Monitors Needed May-September
Butterflies are a key indicator of the health of our prized, remnant ecosystems, like the globally rare dune and swale ecosystem, found in northern Lake County, Indiana, in the Tolleston Strand Plain. To help track butterfly populations in various remnant natural areas, the Southern Lake Michigan Rim Project Office is annually in need of monitors from May through September to weekly collect data on the same route. No experience is required but you will need to attend one of the annual training events. If you would like to learn more, listen to John Henry Drake, Regional Ecologist at the Indiana Chapter, on a replay of an internet radio interview conducted in January 2013. For more information or to sign up, contact John Henry Drake.

The second issue of Crime Unlimited Inc. Co. has flown the coop and is now available FINALLY. I started work on it back in August which is very apparent by the cover.

Hello Erik
There will be a review on my blog in about 24 hours from now.
Erik Guttman said:
Drastic Frivol 1) Travel is 46 pages of stories and ruminations on diverse travel experiences and difficult return. There's also an essay on the German notion of Fernweh. The interior art was mainly clipped from 19th century geography books.
It is available for USD $2 or €1.50 plus postage and can be sent either from the US or Germany. Contact me at email@example.com if you'd like a copy.
i have a new zine, and it's called nostalgia bombs (or, wild tigers i used to know: number two). i've enclosed all of the pertinent information in this handy-dandy space-saving link.
Dear Readers, The new issue of Musea #182 is out and about. The hard copy is available at all the usual suspects , or read it online, or send me a SASE. Here's a preview and intro to the issue. Don't miss the art work at the end of this message! Both are at http://www.musea.us/
Happy Holidays Readers! ! Here is our annual Musea Christmas Story. Take a rest from your busy schedule and find out about SENLIN, the greatest dancer in history. Musea hopes these holidays KEEP YOU DANCING till 2012 - Tom.
Senlin wrote in her diary " What WOULD happen? Later she wrote, "What WILL happen?" We all know who SENLIN is... Strange of me to start off my short story with a first line so obvious. It's like saying we all know that 1+2=3. Why even state the equation? It's like taking a paragraph to describe doves as being white, or crows as being black; summer as being hot, winter as being full of chills. My critics are already sharpening their pencils to write lines like "He states the obvious to try to draw readers in - an amateur writer's trick." And I hear even my fondest reader say, "We breathe, Senlin dances, we know! Now start your story! " I've written about her , the greatest of all our dancers, before...
"SANTA, Our favorite elf!" This is my art work / Christmas Card for this year. http://www.musea.us/
Have just printed out copies of the Christmas edition of my quarterly, Badger's Dozen. Here is a portrait of its editor, Badger:
Yes, that is a pipe in his hand. Badger likes his Baccy.
It's got work by Elizabeth Tan, Robert Conlon, the ever-mysterious St John Nottlesby, Nebsy, and even a recipe by Mrs Isabella Beeton. There's a poem by old SF fanziner John Bangsund (he published a lot of the original Melbourne SF fanzines and all of the people I know in the Melbourne Sf community speak of him in tones of utter reverence.) And plenty of other ace poems by some brilliant Melbourne poets. And a chest of drawers.
At three bucks I reckon it's a pretty good price, but then, I'm biased. Hit me up at timhtrain at yahoo.com.au if you want a copy.

From the Mailbag December 17
- Posted by Johanna on December 17, 2011 at 10:26 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel News
The latest novel series to have a comic spinoff is Uglies, Scott Westerfeld's young adult science fiction series about a world where everyone is made pretty through surgery at the age of 16. (Fascinating premise!) Uglies: Shay's Story (Del Rey, $10.99) follows Shay, the best friend of the novel's lead character, Tally. The graphic novel, the first of two planned, is co-written by Devin Grayson and illustrated by Steven Cummings (Pantheon High).
The book is in Previews now, code DEC11 1045, for publication in March. I'd like to be able to tell you whether to order it, but I haven't had a chance to read this review copy yet. I'll see how well the graphic novel works for those (like me) who haven't read the series. (After skimming descriptions on wikipedia, I think I'd get so frustrated at Tally that it wouldn't be enjoyable for me anyway.)
Also sent to me was the second volume of Salvatore (NBM, $14.99). I didn't read the previous one, but here's a back-and-forth between two good critics on the first book. And here's the publisher's description of book two. It doesn't sound like my kind of thing, because I have enough anxiety without reading a book that produces more, but a flip-through shows skilled art with anthropomorphic characters.
Tina's Mouth: An Existential Comic Diary (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $18.95) is one of those fake-journal illustrated texts that makes me quibble over whether it's really comics. Regardless, I'm intrigued by the premise, since this one tackles the life of an Indian girl in high school in Southern California, by Keshni Kashyap and Mari Araki. This book is supposedly the result of a class assignment to keep a diary while studying Jean-Paul Sartre, telling the story of how loner Tina comes of age. Hopefully, I'll enjoy it without having to understand existentialism.
I was thrilled to hear that there was a second collection of Johnny Wander webcomics, so I ordered myself the book, which arrived this week. It's another slice-of-life strip, but I like its distinctive look, and that there's clearly more to the characters than what we're shown. They feel like real people to me (and I believe that's because they're based on the writer and artist and their friends). It's funny and insightful, what more can you want from a webcomic? In this case, the ability to read it anywhere I want, without a laptop or power cord.

Say what you like about Activision, Infinity Ward or the Call of Duty series, but nobody does an over the top action game quite as spectacularly as Bobby Kotick's FPS conscripts.
After five iterations of slow-mo door breaches, controversial plotlines and speaker-shaking action set-pieces, it almost feels like the developers behind the Call of Duty series (whoever and wherever they may be these days) don't have to put in even a third of their potential effort to come up with a shootout worthy of a Michael Bay movie.
Case in point: Modern Warfare 3. Stepping out at a London press event as if they were rock stars at Glastonbury, Infinity Ward's creative strategist Robert Bowling and Sledgehammer's studio head (Mr. Dead Space) Glenn Schofield introduced an impressive, explosion-filled sequel that makes up for its lack of feature revolution with some pretty incredible scenes.
Controller in hand and start button pressed, the cockpit of a downed helicopter blurrily fades into view. We're in central Manhattan - and it's a war zone.
After the ridiculous, huge scale plotline of the last Infinity Ward instalment, Modern Warfare 3 has nowhere else to go than all out war. As you'll already know if you've seen the debut gameplay trailer (and you have, haven't you?) those pesky Russians have taken to invading the world's cities and it's up to you to poke your ironsight around famous locales in some of the most epic battles Call of Duty has ever seen to right a few wrongs.
The battle in New York is thrilling and spectacular; aircraft scream overhead launching their payload on the crumbling Manhattan skyline. Screeching vehicles tyres and booming gunfire rule the streets as US Special Forces struggle to suppress the invading Russian troops.
Our man darts through the carnage, pot-shotting enemy soldiers with his weapon as a familiar red dot sight fills the screen.
Pausing for breath behind a friendly APC, the player lowers his weapon and we see the red dot sight swapped as a long-ranged scope is put into position with the character's left hand, allowing him to pick off targets far down the dusty New York street.
The shootout takes Infinity Ward up Wall Street and into the monitor-filled New York Stock Exchange (a cert for multiplayer, surely), where the fire-team's main target lies.
Shooting their way to the rooftop the squad locates a communications array and promptly destroys it to achieve their objective - but the fight's not over yet. Reaching down for an unknown, beefy-looking machine gun, Infinity Ward aims at a group of incoming soldiers and takes them all out in a single, violent and smoky 'pop'. It's been a while, but the new high-powered the '9-bang' grenade launcher looks to be a game-changing weapon in Modern Warfare 3's arsenal. There's also the inclusion of the Reaper Drone; similar to Black Ops' Valkyrie Rockets but controlled by a computer.
Proving that the action's just as relentless and over the tops as before (Arnold Schwarzenegger stomping round the corner with dual machine guns wouldn't look out of place) the squad look to the skies as a Black Hawk sweeps down and carries them off above the city.
Manning the on-board gatling-gun, Infinity Ward hammers everything in sight amidst a cinematic missile attack that doesn't seem to do as much damage as it should. It's an impressive sequence nontheless.
So far the assembled press in the room seem satisfied that Infinity Ward's trademark brand of over the top action and cinematic flair has survived the West/Zampella cull. But this just wouldn't be Call of Duty without a bit of controversy...

Student Digest - (03/11/2013 @ 2:00 PM)
March 23rd: Theater of the Oppressed and the US Healthcare System (Phui Yi Kong)
Fun and games toward better healthcare -- a different approach!
The Bowdoin community is invited to join in a creative morning of Theater of the Oppressed activities, focused on our healthcare system. This unique drama workshop will be facilitated by Phui Yi Kong, Bowdoin College Class of 2015. As a trained facilitator for the Theater of the Oppressed, Kong will lead the participants through exercises, movements, games and theater techniques to explore health care issues affecting our community.
Theater of the Oppressed is a worldwide movement that was pioneered in the early 1970s by Brazilian Augusto Boal, to promote social and political change and to empower victims of injustice. It is meant for both non-actors and actors who enjoy playing while gaining insight into novel ways to approach social conflicts. In Theater of the Oppressed, the roles of audience and actors are blurred, for both get involved in improvised scenes, exploring and analyzing situations collectively to see the many possibilities for solving problems.
Entitled "Power, Choice and Health", this Theater of the Oppressed workshop will be held on Saturday, March 23, from 9 am to 12 noon , in the yoga studio, Room 301, Peter Buck Fitness Center for Health and Fitness on the Bowdoin College campus. The workshop is supported by the Bowdoin College Theater and Dance Department and co-sponsored by Maine AllCare and Occupy Maine: Bath/Brunswick. The workshop is free and open to the public. Registration is limited to 30 participants. To register for the workshop or for more information , please contact Julie Pease, 729-2809, firstname.lastname@example.com

Images in this article missing? We recently lost them in a site migration. We're working to restore these as you read this. Should you need an image in an emergency, please contact us at email@example.com
In this article i going to explain one of my class libraries that i have developed for our projects. I have coded it in C# using Visual Studio 2008. Most of our .Net Applications have email notifications, for example in registration process, online ordering, forums and blogs, etc.I thought of an idea to manage the part of the email notification development in our projects. The code is very simple but the idea is nice and the developers really liked it. The idea is when the developers want to have an email notification functionality in their applications, instead of hard-coding the email body text within their code, or using resource files to build up their email messages. They can use that DLL which will allow them to specify the email template file and pass whatever parameters they like to build up their messages. This way the will have the following advantages:
Download source files -6 kb
Download source files -18 kb
* They can manage thier email templates any time without refering to the source code* One single function for multiple email templates and multiple languages.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Net.Mail; using System.IO; namespace Emailing { /// /// Email Notification class that will read emails template files /// public class EmaislNotifications { #region Variabls protected string _subject = null; protected string _TemplatesPath = null; protected bool _debugmode = false; #endregion /// /// Email subject /// public string EmailSubject { set { _subject = value; } } /// /// A Switch to toggle Debug Mode or Production Mode. in Debug mode no emails will be sent only the email body will be return to be written in the page. /// public bool DebugMode { set { _debugmode = value; } } /// /// This function will read the content of a file name /// /// File Name /// String: Containing the Entire content of the file protected string ReadEmailFile(string FileName) { string retVal = null; try { //setting the file name path string path = _TemplatesPath + FileName; //check if the file exists in the location. if (!File.Exists(path)) throw new Exception("Could Not Find the file : " + FileName + " in the location " + _TemplatesPath); // throw an exception here. //start reading the file. i have used Encoding 1256 to support arabic text also.

Subject : _subject), retVal); } catch (Exception ex) { throw ex; } return retVal; } } }
Fisrt of all let me explain the emailing class. the source code is already attached in this article and it commented also. But here i would like to highlight the main functionsThe function that will format the email templates file and send the email is "SendNotificationEmail". see the code below:
in above class have one that reads the template file passed by the user. See the function below: emailfooter()" are private function just to read a default email header and footer from a hard-coded files "email_header.txt" and "email_footer.txt". The reason why i doing this is to make it easy to customize our emails templates. So that if we have 10 email tempates sharing the same header and footer, and want to change something in the heard or footer we are chaning in a single file.
Again, going back to the "SendNotificationEmail". The last part of it after formating the email message. We will send only if it is not in debug mode, otherwise, it will only return the email message in a sting. See the code below:
How to use DLL in ASP.Net ApplicationBefore i explain how to use the DLL. For demo purpose, i have created three txt files and save them "d:\emailing" folder in our web server. Files are:
Please refer followings templates.
Email header Template
User Registration Template
Note that in the files we you can see the {0}, {1}, {2} and so on. Those will be substituted by the parameters agrument passed by the user to the functionSo, in my ASPX page i have a button, the onclick event is:
// here just simulating a registration process. //after a user register in the website and email notification will goes to him containing the regsitreation details, // creating the class of the email notifiction EmaislNotifications en = new EmaislNotifications("Registration", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["EmailTemplatesPath"]); #if (debug) en.DebugMode = true; Literal1.Text = en.SendNotificationEmail("register.txt", "sender[at]company.com", "Demo", "recep[at]company.com", null, "Registration", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CompanyLogoURL"], DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd dd, MMMM, yyyy"), "Hussain Attiya", "hussain.attiya", "991001"); #endif //this will send an email //en.SendNotificationEmail("register.txt", "sender[at]company.com", "Demo", "recep[at]company.com", null, "Registration", ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CompanyLogoURL"], DateTime.Now.ToString("dddd dd, MMMM, yyyy"), "Hussain Attiya", "hussain.attiya", "991001");
I have define the follwing appSetting keys in the web.config:
<appSettings> <add key="EmailTemplatesPath" value="d:emails" /> <add key="CompanyLogoURL" value="http://www.alhawaj.com/en/images/alhawaj_logo.gif" /> </appSettings>
Also, the email setting need to be defined in the web.config:
<mailSettings> <smtp from="noreply[at]companydomain.com"> <network host="mail.companydomain.com" userName="xxx" password="xxx" port="25" /> </smtp> </mailSettings>
This is the resulted email message:
That's all, enjoy the new way of the enmail notification library, if you have any feed back please send in comments.I have attached sample code and demo use the links to download code.

In a letter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, four senior members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week accused the Bush administration of reneging on its promise of transparency with the Congress on the negotiating process. The bipartisan letter said the administration had committed to consulting closely with Congress "throughout the entire process" but that "scant detail" has been forthcoming so far.
The US-Iraq security accord was at the center of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's visit Sunday to Tehran, where he tried to assuage Iranian leaders' concerns about a permanent US presence on their doorstep. "We will not allow Iraq to become a platform for harming the security of Iran," Mr. Maliki said, according to IRNA, the state-run Iranian news service.
The Maliki government wants the agreement with the US to replace a United Nations mandate for the stationing of foreign forces in the country, which expires at year's end. But its growing economic and political relationship with Tehran is testing its ability to simultaneously pursue a US-Iraqi accord.
