This might be the grandest, most elaborate call-to-action I've ever written.
My brother Brandon just turned 30 years old the other day. He's two years my junior, or seemingly just one year in January and February. Well, seemingly, he's many years my junior because Brandon is blind, has cerebral palsy, and is developmentally challenged—which I refuse to call mental retardation because nobody knows how to use that word correctly anymore.
Until he and I are a billion years old, I'm his big sister, and I protect him fiercely.
I always tell people that Brandon is the happiest kid you'll ever meet, even though at thirty years old you should probably stop calling people "kid." It doesn't make a difference to him though, cause the only things that make Brandon sad are a lack of mashed potatoes in the house, and not having enough time to do a full cycle of the dishwasher before he goes out.
Since Brandon can't see with his eyes, he sees the world in other ways, through every type of music, and the sound of a dishwasher going through the soak, wash and dry cycles. Interrupt those and you'll get a long, "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Dangit!"

Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners Reports Fourth Quarter And Year-End 2012 Financial Results
CORAL GABLES, Fla., April 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners, Inc. (Nasdaq:CPRX), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel prescription drugs targeting rare (orphan) neuromuscular and neurological diseases and disorders, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012.
Patrick J. McEnany, CEO of Catalyst, commented, "2012 was a very challenging and yet transformational year for our company. Clearly the Catalyst team was very disappointed with the results of our Phase IIb clinical trial for CPP-109 as a potential treatment for cocaine addiction. We had high expectations to be able to deliver the first effective drug therapy for this horrific, intractable disease. We want to thank all the patients, patients' families, physicians, investigators and our partner, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, for their support and involvement in this project."
Mr. McEnany continued, "On the bright side, during the fourth quarter of 2012 we completed a strategic alliance with BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc., where we acquired the North American rights to Firdapse™, a late stage Phase III program to treat Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome, (LEMS), a rare autoimmune, neuromuscular disease with the primary symptoms of progressive muscle weakness and fatigue. Also, as part of the transaction, BioMarin made a $5 million equity investment in Catalyst, resulting in a 16.6% stake in the Company. CPP-115 has successfully completed a Phase Ia, first-in-man study. The near-term advancement of CPP-115 for the Infantile Spasm indication will require a strategic partner or grant funding. We have recently augmented our management team in the areas of regulatory and clinical operations and expect to add a senior commercial operations person in the second quarter of this year. Finally, we ended 2012 with a healthy balance sheet and have sufficient cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposits and short-term investments to fund our research and development activities for Firdapse™ and other operations through the first quarter of 2014."

To cancel these tickets and book my own?
(16 Posts)I have to go to a certain city for a meeting and its only for two hours but its late so I have had to book a hotel.
As I had booked a hotel and it was paid for I thought It would be nice to invite my mum as she does not get to go to many places as my dad will not travel and dd as it is dds birthday and I thought it would be a nice treat for dd to go to a couple of attractions and us use it as a weekend away treat.
My mum kept asking did I want her to organise train tickets, I said no thanks and would do it myself when I got paid, she asked twice more in two days and again I said no I was sorting it.
She has gone and booked them on advance none refundable tickets and gone off the cheapest prices even though she knew I was paying for it and work would cover my part of it anyway, obviously I will pay for these tickets.
But shes booked tickets that only get us there an hour before my meeting and we leave at 12 noon the next day.
So we will be unable to do anything when we get there other than book in hotel and go to my meeting at 5pm.
The next morning none of attractions open till 10 and our train is 12 noon so we are not going to have time to do anything there either.
Sorry they arent refundable so by cancel I just mean buy extra tickets for a better time.
I would ask her why she chose those times.
Perhaps she doesn't want to be away longer.
I would leave her to use one of the tickets she booked for herself but buy better ones for you and DD - she shouldn't have ignored you so can travel alone
Just tell her you are booking earlier tickets and why. Ask if she wants an earlier ticket or if she would travel alone. YANBU.
Is she insisting insistently on being helpful but getting it totally wrong or is she not OK with doing it differently?
I'd double-check she's not got a bloody good reason then cancel and rebook.
I'd tell her you're getting different tickets for yourself & DD and ask her if she wants to come on the same trains as you or not. Maybe she just doesn't want a long trip.
Oh no she is not bothered about that Hecate, she was actually talking about staying another night at one point yesterday, she booked those times because the next train was £10 more (for all three of us not each) for two hours later and the evening one that got back in late (9pm and that doesnt bother her) was £20 more altogether.
Just to add she often comes away with us and as initiated days/holidays and weekends away with me and dd before and regularly books trains that arrive back at 10/11pm at night.
We go abroad with her and she comes abroad with us, she has travelled round Europe on her own on a coach trip a couple of years back.
Being away is not the issue.
She being 'helpful' by saving money? Tell her the money doesn't matter (assume it doesn't) then rebook.
rebook so its worthwhile going and just tell her work paid for you and the 'refund' from hers made up the extra for hers and DD's ticket so nothing lost. thats assuming you can afford to do this. Guess she was trying to be helpful but did not quite think it through.
The tickets might not be refundable but you may be able to amend the times you travel for a charge. I do that regularly with advance tickets. Worth checking.
Is she as tight as a gnat's chuff?
kalidangerSat 09-Feb-13 16:53:12
She being 'helpful' by saving money? Tell her the money doesn't matter (assume it doesn't) then rebook.
Yes Im guessing its this entirely but I had already told her work are covering a bit part of it and I would pay rest (it actually works out cheaper to take mum and dd as we have a rail card than it does me alone anyway!) instead of having to fork out for a party for dd.
She is not tight, she paid for us to go on holiday last year when she knew we could not afford, she just likes a bargain!
Bless her then

2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2 Dr STD Coupe
ProsHead turner for sure, and with this motor, you can't be discreet. All muscle, it's so fun to drive! Excellent acceleration, handling and braking. It hugs the road and has precision steering. ConsMotor seems loud on the inside, but I love it that way! I can't find anything wrong with this car, other than the price of gas! Not a family car, due to backseat modifications for racing purposes.
Ultra-fast Fun — All around a great muscle car. Powerful, it hugs the road and maneuvers very well at high speeds. From a dead stop, acceleration really gets it! I love everything about this car, from its looks to its price! Worth every penny. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

ProsFAST and with the independent rear axle and suspension handles like mustangs don't Consspeed limits, wife griping about, it rain
When I Bought It I Was A Tuner With No Appreciation For American Muscle — at first the man clutch was a little stiff but i got used to it the only complaint i have is that every redlight warrior wants to race when they see the cobra badge now i just wave them on Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2 Dr STD Coupe
Prosexcellent braking, handles great, good on fuel, great power Conssame ole mustang interior, I want more from a 30000.00 car
2001 Svt Cobra A Steed For The Long Haul, Good Performance, Handling, And Comfortable — I bought my 2001 SVT Cobra used almost 2 years ago, I had been driving a 2001 SVT Lightning and the gas mileage was hurting me even at only 70 miles a day. Actually I wasn't even looking for another car having purchased the 92 1/2 LX 5.0 Limited Mustang, but the SVT BUG got and this car is Silver just like my Lightning, I have owned, well I guess this is my 6th or 7th Mustang, guess I need a BARN not a garage. ANyway for the review, these are remarkable Mustangs, yes at the time they were the most powerful stock mustangs available (that is no longer the case), put with this power came other things that Stang owners could only dream of, like precise and predictable steering, decisive braking and cornering, as well as I car that was more than accommodating for a long drive, 1200-1500 miles without so much a tingling in my back or leg! For an old man like myself that is saying something! Fuel mileage is great for a high performance vehicle, only average for other cars, 26H/ 18C, maybe 8 if you are only doing 1/4 or 1/8 at a time, I willusually get fuel at the track at 5.50 a gallon so I can't be sure of the exact mileage, if you are considering an SVT Cobra though you really need to TREAT yourself to a weekend at a road coarse, somethnig I would have NEVER dreamed of with my other Stangs ( but I did take the Lightning there on a few occasions) my local track is Seibring... it is way better than drag racing (or maybe it's that age thing again?)! Well I am getting (OFF) track again, lets see, other than normal maintenance the only thing I have had to replace in the last 30000 miles is a l/s window regulator (common in most all mustangs), but that is it, making these actually affordable after the initial purchase. The other thing I happened on by accident (if you looked at my 1992 LX 5.0 review) is the "classic insurance" companies consider this an "exotic" car, and once again I was STUNNED by the rate they quoted me FULL COVERAGE including "ACTUAL STATED VALUE REPLACEMENT" is less than 300.00 per year, I was paying over 2400.00 a year through Nationwide for both these cars, now I'm paying less than 600.00 for both of them! THe thing about buying these used, not as much to worry about abuse, the price difference between these and a GT Mustang usually means an older driver that is more likely to take it somewhat easy on the car, I mean a few trips to a road coarse isn't going to destroy a car right?? No really I'm asking! Really, these engines are HAND BUILT, and they are built for performance from top to bottom, they are going to hold there resale value very well the fact that there is no SVT anymore, plus they were always limited productions, as long as you take car of the car, you will not suffer when you sell it. As I always try to stress keep these cars as stock (as you can), I realize that air intakes, exhaust, throttle bodies, cams.... no problem, just keep the appearance as close to "stock" as you can and remember to SAVE THE OLD PARTS, you never know if the next person is going to want to take the car back to original condition and this can cost 1000.00's of dollars and it might make or break a sale for you. That is going to do it for the 01 SVT Cobra, I still have 3 1969 Mach 1's a 72 351 HO Convertible and a nice 1957 Fairlane with a 428CJ to do yet...... maybe I will work on them after diner, oh and I will do the 2001 SVT Lightning (although I don't have that anymore) I still remember a few things about it, and have a horror story to tell you that might change your mind the next time you want to do a performance modification while the vehicle is still under warranty Owner for 2 years, 0 months Miles Driven per Year:18,000 |
2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2 Dr STD Coupe
Proslook, and feel of the car on the road Conskeeping the car maintained so it will run, everytime i fix something something else breaks
Fast But High Maintanance — I love the car I just hate ford lol but overall it has great power and handeling especially on take off fuel economy sucks but hey its a high horsepower car so what do you expect. by no means a daily driver unless you make the money to burn the gas |
2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2 Dr STD Convertible
ProsPerformance, handling & passenger comfort ConsBack seat a little cramped for adults, but not unmanageable
Fantastic Car — The performance is great. From the moment you turn the key and hear the growl of a great throttle note, you can tell this car has power. Acceleration is fantastic - even in 5th gear at 70 mph, plenty of extra horses to pass easily. shifts like silk - no need to fight this one. One warning - NEVER take off the traction control, unless you are on a track and want to light up the tires. Handling is great as well - sticks to corners and has the power to smoothly accelerate out of them. The same goes for hills. Makes this an extremely fun car to drive. Finally, the front bucket seats are amazing - very comfortable, even on long drives - great lateral support for sharp cornering. The back seat is nice, but front passengers will not be able to have seats fully moved back unless rear sea passengers are small or contortionists. The back legroom is about the only complaint here, but fone for relatively short distances. Overall a fantastic car. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2 Dr STD Coupe
ProsIts a Ford! Custom body kit, lowered, weight reduced, aftermarket headlamps / tail lights / seats. ConsGas consumption. Maintenance, I always kept it clean as possible and always changed the oil within 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever was first.
Must Have — I used to own one, sadly I sold it while in college... had to pay for college some how right? Anyways I bought it out of a junkyard, just had some minor frame damage but needed a new door, quater panels, front fender, bumper, headlamps.. etc.. only paid 1,900 for it but cost just over 5 grand to fix it up. Most of the parts were from junkers, and few aftermarket pieces. Anyways, gas consumption is somewhat of a issue if you don't mind forking out the cash for gas but its a heck of a fun car to be driving around during the weekends to show off or cruise around in. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2 Dr STD Coupe
ProsEngine has nice purr, even with stock exhaust. ConsHandling on the track could be better.
Mustang Cobra: Domination — One of my current Mustangs is a 2001 Ford Mustang Cobra. Although I have upgraded the exhaust, suspension, and wheels, the car was already amazing stock. Any one who drives a Mustang Cobra will fall in love and be amazed at how far back in the seats you go when the throttle is maxed. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2 Dr STD Coupe
Prospowerful and sharp looking. really makes you feel like your in a good spot for peoples eyes. Consnot good on gas usually when traveling long distances. and when you forget about the use of 91-93 oct gas only and put 87 oct in it it bogs down and there is a decrease in power.
Overall A Good Sporting Car For Looks And Driving — everything inside and out of this car is solid and not once had problems with it until the person who sold it to me gave me wrongful information knowing that something could have happened by there knowledge. really a nice car Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2001 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2 Dr STD Coupe
ProsPower, style, head turner, sport tuning, loud roar, show car :) ConsLow mileage, gets the police's attention too, tires too wide for off-road/gravel driving. The high torque causes spin-out.
A 'wow' Car. Highly Appreciated For What She Is. — I like the mod exhaust noise. It makes you feel like you are bringing a jet to the road. It also handles very well for city and highway speeds. But in case you want to try the machine out, you have the chance with this one. On a raceway, I did 140 mph and slowed because my mom freaked out. The previous owner did 175 mph once. It has the muzzle. True pony. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Cheap is very often expensive. That's the lesson being learned again by companies outsourcing production to China.
With the recent spate of food contamination and other product scares—from melamine in pet food to lead-painted Thomas the Tank Engine toys to toxic cough syrup—many companies in the United States are being advised to do what they should have done when they first moved production offshore: better assess their risks.
Specifically, companies need to do a better job identifying their supplier risks. That means asking some tough questions about exactly what they are buying and establishing the proper structures—both financial and physical—to protect against problems that can arise when outsourcing manufacturing to a developing country on the other side of the planet.
According to risk consultants, many larger and more experienced multinationals have fairly good systems in place already; they have simply been encouraged to recheck and enhance their management of supplier risk. But many other companies are far from prepared. In those cases, the companies were often drawn to China (or to other low-cost countries) by inexpensive manufacturing or development costs. Downside risks, however, sometimes were not taken into account; companies that signed contracts with Chinese manufacturers and shuttered domestic factories are now going back to reassess whether the move makes long-term strategic sense. Many of them may find that the move that once looked so financially attractive may ultimately be a very expensive proposition.
"People get too focused on price," says Carl Lidstrom of the consulting firm RMR Risk Management Resources. "It may be one-fifth or one-tenth of the price, but that's not the whole story. And you may not know the whole story for a long time."
Lidstrom, whose firm provides risk consulting services on a variety of issues including outsourcing, notes that many companies have neglected long-term risk assessment—including brand risk and business-discontinuity risk—to save on the "unit cost" of manufacturing. "It seems to me that American industry is too focused on unit cost," he says. "People get obsessed with unit costs and forget everything else."
Lidstrom offers an example: A company sources a component from overseas and sells that component to another company. The unit cost may be low, Lidstrom concedes, but what if a bad batch comes in that is rejected by the customer? Suddenly, the company is faced with expensive damage-control issues with a party on the other side of the world. It might have to halt production overseas, appease the local customer, sort through the original shipment, air-freight replacement products, manually trace the source of the problem, renegotiate with (or replace entirely) the supplier, and do so while simultaneously working to restore its reputation, serve other customers, and grow the business. Language barriers and quality-assurance issues alone could give you a headache, and Lidstrom notes that one incident could wipe out the entire amount saved by buying cheap.
Companies that manufacture in-house, or those buying from a domestic supplier, are in a far better position. They have much more control over the process, and typically have more direct and rapid recourse if something goes wrong. In addition, if the company has cultivated a long-term relationship with the supplier, it likely has a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of that supplier, not to mention service-level agreements that are sometimes alien to outsourced manufacturing arrangements. As a result, risk can be significantly lowered. Jumping borders and buying from a party not well-known greatly increases the danger—risk adjusted returns on those relationships may very well be negative.
"You don't have control over a Chinese company," says Lidstrom.
Minimizing Supplier Risks
Far worse than the occasional substandard shipment is the possibility of buying and then selling something that is simply dangerous. If a company is dealing with food or critical components in a vehicle or a structure, the product purchased, if faulty, could harm or kill someone. If the American company's name is on the product, that company may be sued or have to pay for a recall. Again, the company could end up paying out far more than it saved by going offshore; indeed, the company could be driven out of business.
That's exactly what happened to Foreign Tire Sales, a New Jersey importer of tires from a Hangzhou, China-based supplier. After a fatal accident involving one of the tires sold by Foreign Tire Sales, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration ordered a recall that will cost an estimated $60 million to $80 million. The regulator says that the gum strip, a layer in the tire that is supposed to prevent steel belts inside the tire from separating from the rubber or damaging it, was either insufficient or simply not present. Foreign Tire Sales says it doesn't have the money for the recall and is going to declare bankruptcy.
According to Lidstrom, this type of case can get particularly expensive. The corporation may not protect the managers or major shareholders; lawsuits can seek damages from employees and bankruptcy may not provide sufficient protection. This is exacerbated by the fact that it is often difficult to take legal actions against Chinese companies; if the foreign entity has a presence and assets in the United States, a judgment may be collected, but awards against Chinese companies cannot usually be collected.

"Companies underestimate the risk and overestimate the benefit of outsourcing," says James Lam, a former chief risk officer at Fidelity Investments who now runs an independent risk consultancy.
American companies can seek to hedge against some of these risks. Product liability insurance, for example, is helpful in protecting against costs associated with suits arising from faulty or substandard products. Recall insurance is also a possibility, though Lidstrom contends that this is an extremely expensive type of coverage. Companies can ask their Chinese suppliers to buy this insurance themselves; while many Chinese companies will refuse, some may agree if they are trying to build their business in U.S. markets. In addition, some experts note that a Chinese company's refusal to purchase this type of insurance could be a hint that quality and reliability are issues.
Industry experts say that while insurance is good, it can not mitigate all supplier and subcontractor risk. Reputational risk, for example, cannot be transferred away. Even if a lawsuit is paid by an insurer or a recall covered by a policy, the damage caused to a company's name is a separate matter. The cost of recovering trust is borne by the company. Insurance is also quite an expensive way to hedge against risk, says Lidstrom. While he does advise his clients to buy insurance and believes that it is a key component to any risk solution, he says that a company should always find ways to replace insurance with lower cost alternatives.
The Suppliers Of The Suppliers
"There's a desire to get more transparency when you are moving offshore. Companies want to assess risk further upsteam, and not just start at the borders and ports." — J.R. Regan, Managing Director, BearingPoint |
Extensive due diligence on the supplier is one way to lower risk. A company should consider visiting the supplier's factory, investigating the firm's management, and even reviewing the suppliers to the supplier. In some cases, the employment or transfer of a full-time employee from the home office to China may be justified; frequent unscheduled visits, at the very least, are a good idea.
A critical component of the risk-management strategy should also include a "Plan B." If the product from one sub-contractor stops or is not up to standard, alternative sources should already be known and engaged. Moving some production back in-house may also be called for.
Experts say this diversification is very important. "If your supplier is not performing, you need an exit strategy," says Lam. "You need a 'Plan B,' and you also need a 'Plan A.'"
What is required, consultants say, is a holistic approach, where all parts of a company cooperate to counter a wide range of potential problems. This is where Enterprise Risk Management comes in. Companies can't simply transfer your risk to an insurance company; it's too expensive and leaves gaps in protection. Executives also can't manage all outsourcing risks simply by looking over a subcontractor's shoulder—you will never have enough control to be totally effective in someone else's factory. Instead, companies need to institute a comprehensive program that works across divisions and expertise to address known and unknown dangers. All parts of a business need to work together, from finance to information technology to manufacturing.
Hard To Justify
Some experts, like J.R. Regan, managing director of consulting firm BearingPoint's risk, compliance, and security practice, are less concerned than others about the recent product scares from China.
Regan |
Regan thinks that what's happening now is just part of a market-development process, and that beneficial changes will be instituted by the Chinese side as well as by companies buying from China. Significantly, he notes no great up-tick in client requests directly related to recent overseas product problems.
He does, however, see an increasing interest on the part of multinationals to get a better handle on their supply chain, and this growing interest does not seem to be directly related to the recent news from China. Rather, he believes that companies are working to gain a clearer and more comprehensive view of the whole supply-chain risk-management process.
"There's a desire to get more transparency when you are moving offshore," Regan says. "Companies want to assess risk further upsteam, and not just start at the borders and ports."
The increased scrutiny of suppliers, and the more detailed analysis of the costs and benefits of buying from overseas, may lead some companies to interesting and counter-intuitive conclusions.
For example, some advisors argue that the entire outsourcing proposition may be flawed because it hasn't accounted for the hidden expenses of doing business offshore. When the cost of insurance is added to the cost of keeping close tabs on your low-bid supplier—who subsequently has a strong incentive to cut corners—and when that number is added to the cost of establishing redundant supply chains and other unanticipated costs (like management distraction and opportunity costs), then the decision to buy from China may begin to look expensive indeed.
One might just want to stay home.
"The whole outsourcing equation is hard to justify for smaller companies," says Lam.

This was a fantastic spot, high up on the ridge -- perfect for a quiet getaway with a group of friends. Great decks and couches for lounging, and nice big tables for sharing games and meals. The tower is pretty stunning too -- and you can see the gannet colony from the kitchen window. Definitely recommended.

New Morgan Exhibition to Present the Genius of William Blake
William Blake (17571827), Fire, ca. 1805. Pen and black and gray ink, gray wash, and watercolor, over traces of graphite. Gift of Mrs. Landon K. Thorne, 1971; 1971.18
Visionary and nonconformist William Blake (17571827) is a singular figure in the history of Western art and literature: a poet, painter, and printmaker. Ambitiously creative, Blake had an abiding interest in theology and philosophy, which, during the age of revolution, inspired thoroughly original and personal investigations into the state of man and his soul. In his lifetime Blake was best known as an engraver; he was later recognized for his innovations across many other disciplines.
In the
s first exhibition devoted to Blake in two decades, former director Charles Ryskamp and curators Anna Lou Ashby and Cara Denison have assembled many of Blakes most spectacular watercolors, prints, and illuminated books of poetry to dramatically underscore his genius and enduring influence. William Blakes World: A New Heaven Is Begunthe subtitle a quote from Blake referring to the significance of his date of birthis on view from September 11, 2009, to January 3, 2010.
The show includes more than 100 works and among the many highlights are
two major series of watercolors, rarely displayed in their entirety. The twenty-one watercolors for Blakes seminal illustrations for the Book of Jobconsidered one of his greatest works and revealing his personal engagement with biblical textswere created about 180510. Also on view are twelve drawings illustrating John Miltons poems LAllegro and Il Penseroso, executed about 181620. Both series were undertaken for Blakes principal patron, Thomas Butts.
The name William Blake means different things to different people, said William M. Griswold, director of the Morgan. Engraver, painter, poet, visionaryall apply to Blake, and all are accurate. The Morgan is fortunate to have one of the most important collections of Blake material in the world, and this exhibition provides an opportunity to see his extraordinary creativity across many disciplines.
William Blake
The son of a London haberdasher and a religious dissenter, Blake studied the Bible privately with his family. He was educated at home and well read as an adult. This intellectual curiosity was coupled with a keen perception of the political and social world, finding expression in his artistic independence as well as the complex mythology he constructed in response to the age of revolution in which he lived. This mythology centered around the figure of Urizen, an authoritarian, kinglike figure who represents rulers both sacred and profane, with whom other characters representing independence and artistic creativity must interact.
Blake was trained as an engraver. His skill was often applied to reproducing designs of his fellow students and teachers at the Royal Academy. Blake engraved his own works as well, and painted for Academy shows, wrote poetry, and engraved illustrations for books issued by the radical publisher Joseph Johnson. He was also active within the Soho/Covent Garden artistic community. Although Blake explored many artistic disciplines, he continued to work throughout his life in the medium for which he was trained, engraving.
As a result of a dream conversation with his dead brother Robert in 1787, Blake developed a new method of engraving relief plates. By using a special coating for copper plates, he was able to combine reverse script with illustrative details. With this inventive technique, he created Songs of Innocence in 1789 and embarked on a major productive period that saw the creation of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790), Visions of the Daughter of Albion (1793), Continental Prophecies: America (1793), Europe (1794), and the Song of Los (1795). While living in Lambeth in the 1790sacross the river but still within walking distance of the artistic and literary center of Londonhe created small runs of the illuminated books, which were printed on speculation or for a few patrons.
Exhibition Highlights
In addition to the superlative watercolor seriestwenty-one illustrations to the Book of Job and twelve designs illustrating Miltons LAllegro and Il Penserosoother important drawings are on display, including Fire (ca. 1805), which addresses the subject of war. The more fully expressed Continental Prophecies, a series of three illuminated books, further showcase Blakes talents as a visual artist and his passionate interest in politics.
Blakes fame as a poet is seen in his fair copy of ballads known as The Pickering Manuscript, named after its early owner and publisher. Giving voice to Blakes well-known poem Auguries of Innocence, found in the manuscript, is the actor Jeremy Irons, who has also recorded the shorter poem, Tyger. These can be heard on a gallery listening station and on the Morgans Web site.
Blake supported himself with his engravings, and a selection of his prints many of which are extremely rare impressionsdocuments this important aspect of his production. A magnificent example of Blakes largest print, touched with watercolor by the artist, depicts Chaucers Canterbury Pilgrims. With this work the artist hoped for commercial success, something he was unable to secure in his lifetime.
Among Blakes crowning achievements as a visual artist and poet are his illuminated books, such as Songs of Innocence and of Experience: Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul (ca. 1794). These works, which also showcase his exceptional technical skills, reflect medieval manuscript illumination and the interrelationship between word and image. Also on view is the only dated copy of Blakes dramatic The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
Shedding light on the artistic milieu surrounding Blake are a number of works by friends and contemporaries, including drawings by younger artists such as John Linnell (17921882) and members of a group that assembled around Blake and called themselves the Ancients. Also represented are works by painters such as Samuel Palmer (18051881) and Henry Fuseli (17411825).
Collection History
The Morgan Library & Museums Blake collectionone of this countrys most distinguishedbegan with purchases as early as 1899 by the institutions founder, Pierpont Morgan. The exhibition is a tribute to the scholarship and generosity of Charles Ryskamp, director of the Morgan from 1969 to 1986. During his tenure, major gifts almost doubled the size of the Blake collection; and in recent years his gifts of engravings, letters, and related materials have augmented the holdings as a major source for research.

I live my M-Tac for IWB and Dale Fricke Archangel for AIWB, both carry my Glock 19.
Printable View
I live my M-Tac for IWB and Dale Fricke Archangel for AIWB, both carry my Glock 19.
I use a Galco Royal Guard IWB holster, I like how easy it is to take on and off, it is comfortable, and conceals well.
I have a Mtac, Bladetech, Desantis Scorpion, and various other generic holsters for my Glock 19,23,27, and 21 my favorite is the minotaur.
Supertuck if you are looking for comfort at a relatively low price. Pure Kustom Black Ops Pro if you are looking for versatilty, comfort, and quality.
You can have a fine leather holster, without the fat. All excess has been evolved out of this one, leaving a holster of sheer function, that's elegant in its simplicity. There's more than meets the eye with a holster like this, and more contributing to both comfort and concealment, than just the widely spaced replaceable snap loops, though they're a great start.
WOW. Very Nice rig. It looks just like a Broomeland Max-Con V.
Here's the MCV I had for my G26.......
Yes, sir - that's because it IS just like a Brommeland Max Con V, in most regards. The holster in my photo is made exclusively for me by Mr. Brommeland, and is based on his superlative Max Con V design. As it is a variant of the Max Con V, following a little known variant called the Max Con VI, I call it Isotope 7, and it boasts all the functional advantage of the Max Con V, but features a more utilitarian aesthetic treatment, to help me keep the retail price a hair under $100. You might note a more matte appearance, and a reduction in some of the purely aesthetic aspects of boning, which has been done to shave some labor/time, without giving up any functionality whatsoever. Mr. Brommeland can't suppress his perfectionism, however, and the results have surpassed my specification. These holsters are beautiful, in spite of the plan to plain them down.
Rocketman Holsters; IWB.
The last holster a got is an Alessi MOB Talon; it is very slim and lightweight. I really love it.
This Down Under is in stock http://highnoonholsters.com/Product_...ps_black_.html
Regarding the max con by Brommeland, I own one for my 19. Unfortunately it is not as comfortable as my crossbreed st 's. Im NOT saying it's not comfortable, just not as comfortable as the supertuck period. Now as far as looks go, max con bar none. I prefer the draw on the max con as well. Very smooth and great retention. Its a work of art and im sure there are many out there as well. But don't dismiss the supertuck for its lack of aesthetics . Its all about function and comfort. I bought one before and convinced myself it was not as comfortable as my max con cause naturally I would rather wear the max con and even returned it. Then bought one as a gift and had to try it again and soon realized the hype just wasn't hype. But, you would NOT go wrong with a max con either.
The black throws a monkey wrench into the production process for us.
The Slide Guards are about 12 weeks but we have a christmas rush available, 5 to 7 days out of our shop. http://highnoonholsters.com/Rush_Ser...h_service.html

The trick to height is all in the illusion, girlies. When you pile on the same color head to toe, your body appears longer. How can you get the look? Slip on a your best LBD and work it with black tights and black heels. But keep in mind you don't hafta go goth (unless you want to!). We like to mix in some vibrant hues.

You may not be the kind of girl who digs the high-waisted look in jeans or shorts, but trust me, it really does the trick in dresses. An empire waist visually lifts your torso up higher, making it seem like your legs go for miles in the process

Hi: 8° Lo:2°
AN ILLEGAL immigrant assumed the identity of a baby who had died 20 years ago to stay in the country, a court heard.
Jamaican-born Stacey-Ann Small used a birth certificate in the name of Rachel Davies to obtain a driving licence and two passports. She even used it to get married and register the birth of her second child.
The 29-year-old mother of two, formerly of Druid Road in Coventry, also made fraudulent claims to Coventry City Council for housing and council tax benefits with the new identity.
And she made claims to Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council when she moved to her most recent address in Potlidge Crescent, Bedworth before two more false claims to the Department for Work and Pensions.
All of this was done under the name of Rachel Davies who had been born in Nottingham Women's Hospital in May 1981 but tragically died from bronchial pneumonia before her first birthday.
Small - who claimed £23,230 in benefits to which she was not entitled between August 2008 and January this year - pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court to six charges of fraud and three of making false statements.
She also admitted possessing an identity document with improper intention, was jailed for two years, It is likely to be deported to Jamaica after serving her sentence.
Small was found out when the police child protection unit in Nuneaton investigated her for neglecting her children by leaving them at home alone while she was at work, for which she has since been jailed for 16 weeks.
Even when a police check revealed she had a conviction for assault in 2006 under her real name, Small insisted she was Rachel Davies and had given a false name on that occasion.
Sean Logan, defending, said after coming to this country on a short term visitors' visa for a wedding in 2001, Small was put under pressure to stay and become involved in criminal activity with her brothers.
Her family blamed her when two of her brothers got jailed for drugs matters and she ran away.
Mr Logan added: "She was provided with the false ID; she did not obtain it herself. She says she did not know it was a deceased person, and only learned that since her arrest."
Judge Sylvia de Bertodano told Small she would have caused very real hurt to the parents of the baby whose identity she took on.
"I very much hope they do not know anything of this, because I am very well aware of the hurt it causes to people who have suffered this sort of loss that 20 years later someone is going around with the identity of their dead child."

I agree with both of you. Hopefully as an AMA rep I can have at least a positive effect on the perceptions that the AMA leadership have regarding responsible FPV use. I already had an effect on several people with my first encounter.
But I know for a fact that several of the leadership are fairly hard-nosed about this. It will be difficult to win them over. The other RC group called RCAPA (Remote Control Aerial Photography Association) is nearly 2000 strong now, but that pales in comparison to the 150,000 membership of AMA. I'm fairly certain at this point that FPV (at least the way we do it today) will NOT be allowed in the U.S. for much longer. I met a guy this weekend who is into high altitude rocketry. After 9-11 all amateur rocketry was shut down, and his group of rocket scientists was actually sued by the government for their activities. Their group banded together and counter-sued the government on grounds of abusive control and lack of proof that the hobby was dangerous. They won and eventually were able to resume their hobby, but not after much pain and anguish. I'll bet the same will be true for FPV. Unless a group organizes and actually fights for the right to fly, it will be taken away completely without so much as a whimper of resistance. |
Jan 09, 2012, 10:46 PM | ||
Unfortunately, there's only one USA, so that solution doesn't work for FPV. |
Jan 09, 2012, 10:57 PM | |||
This statement I do not agree with. Any time you say "The only thing..." you are usually wrong. Financial motivation is great, but in this case I think there are more powerful reasons to protect our right to fly. I think most regulators realize that legislation is a blunt instrument that is not as effective as an organization regulating itself. It is often only after the organization proves that it cannot be trusted to make good moral choices that they feel they have to protect the public from them. A case in point is the accounting legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley that stems from the Enron and Arthur-Anderson debacle. When the nation's largest accounting firm proved that it wasn't capable of choosing morality over money and in the process costing innocent citizens billions of dollars they felt they had to step in and actually legislate morality. Nevermind that thousands of firms across the country were complying with the self regulating bodies that had stood for well over a hundred years. When someone makes the profession look like a group of punks that steal from the public Sarbanes-Oxley is what you get. If a group (like TBS) takes it upon themselves to show the world how to have fun with fpv by flying in close proximity to dense population, national treasures, and other landmarks without any regard for the potential for harm to people and property in those areas they are showing a disregard for ethics. Admittedly they hadn't broken any laws. That is only because nobody had thought the the exact instance of what they decided to do and actually had the technology and money to do it. I say, the people who hate fpv and those self-important legislators who really want to make a difference aren't going to be stopped by the majority of fpv flyers simply showing them that it can be done safely. I think this group will only be satisfied with serious sanctions that affect fpv. Maybe a better response is to throw them a bone and give them some ideas as to what exactly ought to be outlawed. Flying over densly populated areas as well as prominent landmarks, rite-of-ways for airports, historical monuments etc. are all up for obvious sanction. Why not just suggest that this be the direction the legislation take rather than setting an arbitrary ceiling on altitude or distance. Then give the law some teeth that will actually deter the reasonable portion of the community from doing the stupid stuff. -Nate |
Jan 10, 2012, 12:04 AM | ||
I agree that the future doesn't look bright. It would be the easiest thing in the world for the FAA to outright ban FPV, unfortunately. I'm just barely getting started, and I don't have high hopes for the future. The Black Sheep NYC video seems to transcend being just an ill-advised, reckless video, to becoming the most damaging thing that has happened for the future of FPV. |
Jan 10, 2012, 01:13 AM | ||
You're right nate. financial gain isn't the only thing that changes people who are completely against something, but that is a whole other discussion. There are probably a lot of rc fliers, and interrested people who would like to get into FPV; It would be nice if they/we could make a difference. I also agree that some rules need to be placed on the fpv comunity, but that can be dangerous as well. You don't need to look any further than the situation with hunting, snowmobiling, dirtbiking, and any other outdoor activity that extreme activists deem a worthy cause of shutting down. So I can see where people need to be told to stay away from landmarks and densely populated areas, and where fpv would scare the heck out of the Homeland security, but at the same time I hate to see the activists get their claws into regulations. "They" sometimes don't know a reasonable stopping point. |

As an alternative to ROM slots, what you can do is,
1. Boot into 1st ROM, configure and download all the apps you want.
2. Take a Nandroid of; /System and /data and optionally; cache. But I don't use the latter.
3. Wipe Data, System, Cache, and dalvik.
4. Install 2nd ROM, boot, configure, install all the same apps (just for now)
5. Take Nandroid of /system only
To switch to ROM 1, restore the backup of its /system (should only take about 6-10 seconds as opposed to flashing data too.
To switch to ROM 2, restore the backup of its /system ""
The reason you MUST install all the SAME apps on the 2nd ROM is to rebuild the necessary data folders.
To install a new app, boot to rom 1 and install it, then switch to ROM 2 and wipe cache and boot or vice versa.
Have fun,

The virus that you typically hear about on cruise ships, the Norovirus, swept through the Village of Tansley Woods in Burlington last month causing intestinal illness 118 residents and 30 staff members.54 of the residents were in the long-term care unit of the facility while another 64 were in the retirement residence section.In all 6 people died.Officials of the Halton Region Public Health Department confirm that Norovirus swept through but they have yet to conclude whether that bug was the direct cause of the deaths. Officials note that seniors often have underlying health conditions.Symptoms of Norovirus include persistent diarrhea and vomiting which can cause the patient to become severely dehydrated. The Halton health department is expected to announce that the outbreak is over on Wednesday.
