Notes: The extension from Sharnal Street to Port Victoria opened on 11.9.8982. Port Victoria station was located on a wooden pier in the River Medway Estuary. When the pier was declared unsafe in 1931 the station was closed and shortly afterwards demolished. A new temporary wooden platform was built close to the landward side of the pier. This was later replaced by a concrete platform; there was also a new brick signalbox.
The station was finally closed in 1951 when an expansion of the oil refinery required the land. All evidence of the station was swept away but at low tide it is still possible to see some of the piles from the pier. There is no public access to the site.
Alongside the station the single storey weather boarded Port Victoria Hotel was intended as a temporary construction but when passenger traffic on the line failed to live up to expectations, the building was never replaced and was finally demolished in 1952.
The 1901 census records an unregistered hulk 'Gannet', moored off Port Victoria pier, being used as accommodation for S E C R Co. employees. On the night of the census it housed the station master, his clerk and 18 porters.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE HUNDRED OF HOO RAILWAY In 1865 the North Kent Extension Railway was granted authority to build a line from the SER track at Gravesend across the marshes to a pier on the west bank of the Medway opposite Sheerness. However since neither of the rival companies, the LCDR nor the SER, liked the idea, it failed to materialise.
Parliamentary Acts were granted by 1880 and construction work started shortly afterwards. A further Act in 1881 passed the line over to the SER. On April 1st 1882, the first section from Hoo Junction to Sharnal Street was opened with the remaining section to Port Victoria opening on September 11th 1882 by which time a wooden pier and a modest weather-boarded Port Victoria Hotel had been provided. It was soon clear that the new rout was not as popular as predicted due to the new docks that opened at Tilbury in 1886. The line was however used by the Royal Family.
The Southern Railway opened a single-track branch line from a new station at Stoke Junction to Allhallows on Sea in 1932 optimistic that a new resort would develop around the station. A station hotel was built but the bleak marshes did not entice the holidaymakers. Six trains a day were provided, two of these to and from London. Allhallows-on-Sea station comprised an
With the opening of the branch to Allhallows, passenger traffic to Port Victoria dwindled to almost nothing with only two trains a day, principally for the benefit of the workers at the petrol depot.
The popularity of Allhallows was improving by the late 1930's and the Southern Railway considered doubling the whole line. The proposal was put on hold on the outbreak of war in 1939 and was eventually abandoned.
During the war the line was well used with the oil terminal being adapted as the base for PLUTO (Pipeline under the Ocean) supplying the allied forces in Europe.
Due to the increase of freight traffic there were rumours that the whole line was to be electrified but the post war popularity of the motor car led to a continued decline in passenger numbers. The resort of Allhallows did not continue to develop and despite all efforts, attempts to sell housing plots remained unsuccessful and before long the railway authorities accepted defeat and reverted to a limited local service. As the traffic continued to deteriorate the line went back to single track in 1957.
The situation lingered on until 1961 when the passenger services from Hoo Junction on the Gravesend line to Grain and the branch to Allhallows were withdrawn on December 4th.
The wooden station buildings at Cliffe and Sharnal Street were demolished in 1966 and the signal box at Cliff was demolished in 1973.
In 1974 a campaign was instigated by Stoke Parish Council to have the railway reopened to passenger traffic but British Rail opposed the proposal as the line was only single traffic and because of the signaling complications in introducing a passenger service onto the busy freight line.

Violence on Campus: Practical Recommendations for Legal EducatorsHelen Smithaffiliation not provided to SSRN Sandra ThomasUniversity of Tennessee, Knoxville Carol McCrehan ParkerUniversity of Tennessee College of Law January 1, 2008 Oklahoma City Law Review, Vol. 32, No. 3, p. 442, 2007 University of Tennessee Legal Studies Research Paper No. 21 Abstract: Recent rampage killings compel greater attention to anger and violence on the college campus. In each of these tragic mass murders, vengeful individuals sought to address perceived grievances against faculty and/or other employees of the university. In each of these situations, numerous clues of impending violence were evident. Sadly, however, in each of these cases the schools failed to take preventive actions. While prediction of violent behavior will never be an exact science, universities must begin to enact violence prevention strategies. Maintaining an attitude that 'this couldn't happen here' hampers the necessary education of faculty, staff, and security personnel. Our purpose in this paper is to provide guidelines for dealing with angry students. Additionally, we will point out characteristics of potentially violent students and suggest some violence prevention measures. Although we will touch on security issues, our goal is to help law educators prevent students from erupting violently rather than to stop a mass murder already in progress.

I really enjoyed this series. The narrator was excellent and succeeded in conveying the correct amount of drama and slight comedic relief. I was sorry when the book finished, and that doesn't happen very often!
The first three stories were okay, if not a little "gory" in places. The narrator's voice in the final story really irritated me. I wanted to hit the female who was telling her story.
"Story line"
Not enough about the detective, too much about the daughter.
Narrator's voice irritated me. Unable to finish book due to this.
"Really good!"
As usual, Scott Brick did an excellent job with the naration. The story itself was very good, I liked (and disliked as required) the characters and was really quite sorry when the story finished. Believable and quite engrossing.
"Duma Key"
I usually enjoy Stephen King's books but for some reason I just couldn't get interested in this one, and believe me I really tried!
"Close Case"
The story itself was okay, but, I found the narrator's accent very distracting. She was good but someone with an appropriate accent would have enabled me to concentrate more on the story line.

Miles Stair's SURVIVAL SHOP
Two methods of field flashing generators, one using an existing 110 volt source, one using an electric drill.
Home generators in storage can "go flat" or lose their magnetism. Then they will not produce electricity, even though the small gasoline engine turning them is running just fine. There is a simple way to fix that, however. Large generators (like hydro power units) lose their magnetism very quickly: that is the reason Gary North says that if the grid goes down completely for 2 weeks it may well stay down: the power needed to re-energize the generators might not be available. It takes electricity of the correct voltage and frequency to reestablish the magnetism in the generator to produce electricity.
As many people now have generators in storage and may not use them until the "normal" electric grid is well and truly trashed, knowing how to get a generator re-magnetized could be very handy information.
First some basics in electrical connections involving household wiring. (Forget color coding for 12 volt DC systems -- that is different, and it is easy to get confused.)
The color coding scheme in AC wiring, stipulated by the National Electrical Code is:
With 110 VAC house wiring, the white wire is neutral, the green wire is "ground," and the black wire is "hot," carrying the electricity.
For 220 volt AC wiring, Black and Red should ALWAYS be used as hot wires. White -- ALWAYS used as neutral wire. Green (or bare) -- ALWAYS the ground wire.
Got that? It is crucial!
Look at an electrical wall socket. The left "eye" is longer than the left -- it is the neutral (white) socket; the right "eye" is the hot (black) socket, and the mouth is the round (green) ground socket. Cords which only have 2 wires often have the ground spade larger than the other spade, as they will operate "polarized" appliances. Light bulbs don't give a darn which way the power flows through the tungsten resistance filament to generate heat (light), but many motors and appliances require the proper flow of electricity (polarity). And some appliances are grounded to their frame, so reversing the polarity can make the entire appliance "hot" and quite shocking (and life threatening) to touch.
It is important to know the correct arrangement of electrical flow because generators MUST have the correct polarity. When they lose their magnetism they are in a neutral state, so it is entirely possible to energize them in reverse -- to reverse their polarity. You don't want to do that, and it is easy to avoid.
Field Flashing Using a 110 volt Source
To re-energize a generator it must be fed electricity at the correct voltage and cycle rate while it is running. This means power must be available from household power or a borrowed generator. Most generators are 110 VAC 60 cycle, a few are 220 VAC 60 cycle, and some have dual 110 VAC 60 cycle armatures and windings (which when combined produce 220 VAC). But as all of them have 110 VAC receptacles, they can be energized in exactly the same manner.
A device must be built to connect the power source to the dead generator. Each end must have 3 wire male plugs, two wires of 12 to 16 gauge about 6 feet long, and 3 light bulb fixtures are required. The white wire is connected from the right side (holding it) or left side (looking at face) of the male plugs. The positive (black) wire must have 3 light bulb fixtures wired in series, so electricity flows through each light bulb from one end to the other. This is most easily accomplished by installing 3 porcelain light fixtures on a board and connecting them in series, but any expedient method that does not short out the wires may be employed in an emergency. Put 60 watt light bulbs in each fixture.
NOTE: You can use a continuity tester to make sure the wiring is correct - left plug spade to to left plug spade, right to right, before using the assembly with the generator.
There is no need for a 3rd (green) wire in this arrangement: 3 wire male plugs are used to simplify getting the polarity correct when under duress and pressure, nothing more.
You will remember that wall sockets are "hot" and have female connections, and when you plug in an appliance or cord that all exposed connections disappear or are covered. That is to avoid the hazard of a self-induced hair raising experience known variously as "electric shock therapy" or electrocution. But the device you have just constructed has male plugs at both ends! Obviously caution is mandatory here, and things must be done in the correct sequence. But there is no alternative to this method that I know of, so you simply must be careful, keep the rug rats away, don't stand in a puddle of water, and tell the spouse to pray instead of scream.
Fire up the engine on the dead generator and warm it up until it runs smoothly with the choke off: it isn't under load yet, but it will be. Then fire up the borrowed generator. Plug your contraption into the dead generator, then into the spare generator or household current. The three 60 watt bulbs will start flashing: when they are perfectly in sync, carefully pull the plug from the spare generator, then the other generator which has just been re-energized. DO NOT TOUCH THE EXPOSED ENDS OF THE PLUGS - THEY ARE HOT!
Using a voltage tester, you will find the "dead" generator is now putting out 110 VAC power AT THAT SOCKET. If you have a 220 VAC generator, test the other 110 VAC socket: if it is dead, energize it in the same way as outlined above. Then both 110 volt armatures will be putting out 110 VAC 60 cycle power in sync, and combine to produce 220 VAC as well.
Yes, the system described above works, and works well. Using this technique will enable you to salvage a useless generator at very little cost. And done with care it need not be a hair raising experience -- quite handy for those of us lacking same.
Have I done it? You bet. I bought my generator back in 1974 when building a cabin in the woods of Western Oregon (The "back to the land" hippies found us already there!). But in the early 80's I didn't use the generator for awhile (got soft), and it lost its magnetism. So I did it, and it works well to the day the engine died in 2004. It simply wasn't worth rebuilding the engine, as those old engines were designed to run on leaded gasoline. So I replaced it with a 3,000 watt generator and built a cart to move it around (see photo below).
There are other uses for short extension cords with male plugs on both ends: they must be home built, used with care (and hidden from OSHA), but they can be very useful. For example, I modified the circuit breaker box on my well pump by adding an extension cord on 12-3 wire to a standard wall socket in a normal outlet box. But I connected the extension cord to the BOTTOM side of the circuit breaker -- to the pump wire connection. When the circuit breaker is "on" and power flowing, I can plug in a clamp light with a 150 watt light bulb and prevent the pump from freezing.
But if the power goes out, I can flip the circuit breaker off, thereby isolating the pump from the house wiring. I can fire up the generator, plug one male end into the socket connected to the circuit breaker box, plug in the other male end to the generator, and power the well pump. And I don't have the fear of electricity flowing backwards past the circuit breaker box and up the line. When I want to turn off the pump, I pull the plug from the generator FIRST.
A reader sent me this link and method. I have not used this method myself, but it has great applications for the future given that it does NOT require the use of electricity from another source. Another reader told me he tried it and it worked!
I always give credit where due. A reader sent me the link, the link is shown, and the information supposedly came from Briggs & Stratton. Miles
This tip comes from the Briggs & Stratton Customer Education Department. As an alternative to flashing a rotor winding with a battery applied to the brushes, an electric drill may be used. Follow these steps to flash the generator:
While depressing the trigger on the drill, spin the drill chuck in reverse direction. This will excite the field and the generator will now produce electricity. If spinning the chuck one direction does not work, try spinning the chuck in the other direction as you may have the reverse switch positioned backwards.
Use caution not to get your hand or other materials caught in the chuck. As soon as the field is excited, the generator will produce power and the drill will turn on.
The reason this works is because the electric motor in the drill will act as a small generator when spun backwards. The magnets in the drill's motor induce a voltage into the motor windings, which is fed back through the trigger, cord and into the generators receptacle. From there it goes into the power winding of the stator. The voltage going through the power winding creates a magnetic field, which is intensified due to the iron core of the stator laminations. The rotor intersects this magnetic field as it is spun past the power winding, thus inducing a voltage in the rotor winding. Once current flow is present in the rotor winding the rotor has been flashed.
If flashing the field does not make the generator work, you may have additional problems, besides a lack of magnetism in the rotor. Further testing will be needed. Hopefully, this will give a simple way to field flash your generator if needed - Bruce Perrault
CONFIRMATION! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nov. 3, 2007
Miles, THANK YOU A million for having this website. I bought a 7kw generac generator, good engine but no juice for $75. I tore it apart and replaced a rectifier and 1 wire and a few quick connects. Still no juice. I was about to give up on it and then found your site about field flashing. The DRILL technique worked!! Thank you for passing on the knowledge. S Ruppe

Hi Miles, Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU for your article on how to get a dead generator working. I tried the drill solution first but no go, got a blister on my thumb for my troubles but then I made up your apparatus with the globes and YIPPE it worked. I used 100 watt globes and my gen is and old Robin RG201 2 kva 220/240 volt 60hz, must be 20 years old, I had given up on getting it to work. I made one mistake and used a cord that I had made up myself and fortunately the voltmeter on the gen showed the needle going backwards so used a pre made cord and away she went. I am in Western Australia, so thanks to you and the Internet I have a working generator for emergency power. Regards Bruce C

Looking back at D-Day: A long thin line of personal anguish
By Ernie Pyle
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 8:27 AM
NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 17, 1944 - In the preceding column we told about the D-day wreckage among our machines of war that were expended in taking one of the Normandy beaches.
But there is another and more human litter. It extends in a thin little line, just like a high-water mark, for miles along the beach. This is the strewn personal gear, gear that will never be needed again, of those who fought and died to give us our entrance into Europe.
Here in a jumbled row for mile on mile are soldiers' packs. Here are socks and shoe polish, sewing kits, diaries, Bibles and hand grenades. Here are the latest letters from home, with the address on each one neatly razored out - one of the security precautions enforced before the boys embarked.
Here are toothbrushes and razors, and snapshots of families back home staring up at you from the sand. Here are pocketbooks, metal mirrors, extra trousers, and bloody, abandoned shoes. Here are broken-handled shovels, and portable radios smashed almost beyond recognition, and mine detectors twisted and ruined.
Here are torn pistol belts and canvas water buckets, first-aid kits and jumbled heaps of lifebelts. I picked up a pocket Bible with a soldier's name in it, and put it in my jacket. I carried it half a mile or so and then put it back down on the beach. I don't know why I picked it up, or why I put it back down.
Soldiers carry strange things ashore with them. In every invasion you'll find at least one soldier hitting the beach at H-hour with a banjo slung over his shoulder. The most ironic piece of equipment marking our beach - this beach of first despair, then victory - is a tennis racket that some soldier had brought along. It lies lonesomely on the sand, clamped in its rack, not a string broken.
Two of the most dominant items in the beach refuse are cigarets and writing paper. Each soldier was issued a carton of cigarets just before he started. Today these cartons by the thousand, water-soaked and spilled out, mark the line of our first savage blow.
Writing paper and air-mail envelopes come second. The boys had intended to do a lot of writing in France. Letters that would have filled those blank, abandoned pages.
Always there are dogs in every invasion. There is a dog still on the beach today, still pitifully looking for his masters.
He stays at the water's edge, near a boat that lies twisted and half sunk at the water line. He barks appealingly to every soldier who approaches, trots eagerly along with him for a few feet, and then, sensing himself unwanted in all this haste, runs back to wait in vain for his own people at his own empty boat.
Over and around this long thin line of personal anguish, fresh men today are rushing vast supplies to keep our armies pushing on into France. Other squads of men pick amidst the wreckage to salvage ammunition and equipment that are still usable.
Men worked and slept on the beach for days before the last D-day victim was taken away for burial.
I stepped over the form of one youngster whom I thought dead. But when I looked down I saw he was only sleeping. He was very young, and very tired. He lay on one elbow, his hand suspended in the air about six inches from the ground. And in the palm of his hand he held a large, smooth rock.
I stood and looked at him a long time. He seemed in his sleep to hold that rock lovingly, as though it were his last link with a vanishing world. I have no idea at all why he went to sleep with the rock in his hand, or what kept him from dropping it once he was asleep. It was just one of those little things without explanation that a person remembers for a long time.
The strong, swirling tides of the Normandy coastline shift the contours of the sandy beach as they move in and out. They carry soldiers' bodies out to sea, and later they return them. They cover the corpses of heroes with sand, and then in their whims they uncover them.
As I plowed out over the wet sand of the beach on that first day ashore, I walked around what seemed to be a couple of pieces of driftwood sticking out of the sand. But they weren't driftwood.
They were a soldier's two feet. He was completely covered by the shifting sands except for his feet. The toes of his GI shoes pointed toward the land he had come so far to see, and which he saw so briefly.
Permission to distribute and re-publish Ernie Pyle's columns on the anniversary of D-Day was given by the Scripps Howard Foundation. The son of a tenant farming parents in west-central Indiana, Pyle became history's greatest war correspondent. When Pyle was killed by a Japanese machine gun bullet on the tiny Pacific island of Ie Shima in 1945, his columns were being delivered to more than 14 million homes. During the war, Pyle wrote about the hardships and bravery of the common soldier, not grand strategy. His description of the G.I.'s life was more important to families on the home front than battlefront tactics of Gens. Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George Patton or Omar Bradley. His columns open a window to the hardships endured by the common U.S. soldier during World War II and serve today to honor what has been called "The Greatest Generation."

These are the sealed decklists from the GP trial held last night. In the top 8 Rochester draft, Brad Taulbee played Ryan Opalk, Ben Vrba played Troy Gould, Otto Schmidt played Kyle Saugier, and Luke Koleczek played Michael Dvorak. Unfortunately, there are no decklists available for the Rochester draft, as it was 4 AM before the draft concluded. The players apparently opted for sleep over decklists, but we certainly won't hold it against them.
The players who received byes are Brad Taulbee, Ben Vrba, Otto Schmidt, and Luke Koleczek. No doubt they've enjoyed their extra sleep, and are now ready to play in Round 4.

Released: Sep 01st, 2002
Running Time: 168
Director: Pierre Woodman
Company: Private Media Group Inc
Nathalie, Nicolette (I), Kristina (I), Rebecca (I), Swany, Julia Taylor, Aijja
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Beautiful women, hot action.
There are some extremely hot women on this tape. Russian redhead Aijja is a prime example. She has delicious natural tits and an altogether wholesome look -which makes her initiation into hardcore action that much more thrilling. Taking on the pool boy, she dives right in, swallowing a big mouthful of cock. Her pretty braids bounce as she sucks, and then sway gently as she rides. She has incredible feet, fantastic toes and one hell of a disarming smile.
Kristina is a statuesque Hungarian blonde, slim and sultry. A cock-craving beast, she settles for no less than three at once, licking, jerking and fucking to her heart's content. The more she gets, the more she wants, until finally she is splattered from all sides.
Swany is a dark-haired, dark-eyed Thai temptress, with an infectious laugh. In a magnificent restaurant sequence, she orders her fellow diners to strip down and service her. Hands and lips everywhere, she keeps the entire party happy and satisfied.

Furry Friends Food Bank
Eastern Area Agency on Aging has restructured the Furry Friends Food Bank to help seniors and adults with disabilities feed their pets. With donated pet food, FFFB is able to provide supplemental nutrition to these animals.
Furry Friends Food Bank is dedicated to preserving the special bond between people and their pets by providing pet food and basic pet care supplies to those in need. FFFB recognizes that the love, support, and companionship pets give is invaluable to mental and physical health. This is especially true for someone who is ill or isolated.
By providing this service, EAAA believes that people will be better equipped to continue caring for their pets by easing the physical and financial worry of their companions care while ensuring their own good health.
Typically, those people who have a low income share their own food with their animals, as they either cant afford pet food or are not physically able get out and purchase it. Furry Friends Food Banks mission is to stop this occurrence.
The need for social contact and support is often not met for older individuals who may have lost friends and family members. An animal companion has been found to greatly facilitate establishing friends outside of someones normal routine.
Studies have found that the presence of pets in peoples lives leads to better health and well-being. In fact, pet owners visit their doctors less, and use less medicine. People also recover faster from surgery and illness, tend to deal better with stressful situations, and are less likely to feel lonely.
Animals provide comfort day and night, dont mind being told the same
story over and over again, provide companionship and unconditional
love. Animals need attention and affection to survive. And, in turn,
actually being needed makes people, especially seniors, thrive and feel
useful. Pets can give seniors a sense of purpose.

"At CNR, I feel a genuine sense of community, of a college community, and it's both felt and observed on different levels. Everywhere I go I see close-knit groups of people who, even though they either have been here forever or they seem like they have been here forever, never make me feel excluded."
Ian Kreisburg School of New Resources New Rochelle Campus Class of 2011 White Plains, New York
Having attended more than one college, what do you find interesting about CNR?
Every college from those I've actually attended to those I've merely read brochures for brings some level of focus to the idea of community, of their college community but in my estimation, CNR has the real thing, a great community.
At CNR, I feel a genuine sense of community, of a college community, and it's both felt and observed on different levels. Everywhere I go I see close-knit groups of people who, even though they either have been here forever or they seem like they have been here forever, never make me feel excluded. As a staff member, obviously, we call these close-knit groups, departments, but there are also students who do the same thing. Art students working in the Mooney Center together until all hours are just as close as the nursing students studying together in the Student Campus Center until all hours or as the School of New Resources study group that meets in the Library or the Castle Gallery workers who stay late preparing for the next show, or the security officers you never see because they're here from midnight to 8 a.m.
To expostulate what majesty should be, what duty is, why day is day, night is night, and time is time, were nothing but to waste night, day, and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, and tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief; the most different thing I have encountered at The College of New Rochelle is its community. Not just because it is so great but also because it is real.
What are you studying in the School of New Resources?
My area of interest in SNR is foreign languages. I already had 30 credits in foreign languages, so it would be silly do focus on anything else. Since I intend to go to graduate school here at CNR for communications, I'm focusing on that.
You also work on campus?
Yes, I've actually had several jobs since I started in April 2007. First I was a temp working as the Help Desk Coordinator. After a year, I moved to the Security Office, initially just to cover for a woman during her maternity leave, but, after three months, they decided to keep me and, after a little over a year in the Security Office, I'm now a security guard.
What are you career plans?
I'd like to teach. I've begun to realize that's something I really need to be doing, but, I also need to be creating things and performing, so, I'll need to find some way of arranging my life that will allow me to teach while continuing my many eccentric hobbies such as making comics, doing calligraphy, juggling, playing ukulele, and writing.
To find out if CNR is the right choice for you, please contact:

iFixit Tablet 'Repairability' List Highlights Apple Shortcomings
The Dell XPS 10 is the most repairable of the 18 popular tablets iFixit tore down and detailed in a new list. Microsoft and Apple fared worst.
The Apple iPad may be the world's best-selling tablet, but if you value the ability to open and fix and ideally prolong the life of your pricey device, the best-in-class tablet is the Dell XPS 10, according to iFixit.com. The screwdriver-wielding tech site dedicated to empowering people to fix and continue using their otherwise landfill-destined hardware opened up and tore down 18 popular tablets and gave each one a "repairability" score between 1 and 10—10 being the most repairable and 1 being closest to don't bother. While iFixit has been tearing down for some time, its comprehensive, at-a-glance Tablet Repairability List is something new. "Every time you walk into an electronics store, you're making a choice," iFixit founder Kyle Wiens wrote in a Feb. 28 blog post. "Every gadget you buy is a vote cast. We want people to make informed decisions, as their vote influences how hardware manufacturers choose to design in the future." The Dell XPS 10 scored a 9, with iFixit celebrating that it was easy to open, the battery was easy to remove and inside its screws and cables were color-coded and labeled.

Re: Alternatives to Sailrite?
That's a good point. When you're in the middle a whole bunch of sail material, trying to carefully sew inch by inch, the last thing you need is the machine taking off like a rocket. With the upgraded motor on my Pfaff 130, it can get going faster than I want if I step on the gas too much, often resulting in use of the seam ripper.
It also tends to start shredding the thread if you try to go too fast through a lot of layers. I have found that oiling the thread helps with this. A #19 or 20 needle also is a must to avoid thread breakage in thick material.

Cooper-Hewitt just announced the winners of its Sixth Annual National Design Awards and it's really time to say out loud what so many design and innovation professionals have been saying for so long—the contest doesn't work. The winners are all wonderful designers who have done excellent work. But they are obvious choices. Most appear to be recipients of life-time achievement awards, which is really what the National Design Awards has mostly become.
What is wrong. I think design has quickly evolved far from the original conceit of the awards program. Just giving attention to great designers is really beside the point today. The great struggle for respect in society and in the corporate world is over. Design has won. It doesn't have to sell itself. It does have to prove itself, however. Design has to create better methodologies, better processes and better results for the people who use it. And design contests have to reward this ongoing effort, not simply recognize those in the past who have achieved greatness.
The Cooper-Hewitt is a wonderful place and I visit it often. It's most recent exhibit on Extreme Textiles was brilliant. But the folks who put together the National Design Awards show rethink the program. What was once worthy, is now mundane.
I brought this up back in summer, http://sizematter.blogspot.com/2005/06/design-olympics-summer-2005.html, when the BW IDEA awards were announced. You have extremely valuable points to make here, and the potential to influence the change in direction that you articulate so well in your post. The Catalyst awards are one example of this shift, the other important shift, IMHO, would be to not just look at the product itself, but also how well design has been integrated into the organization. http://www.nitibhan.com/perspective/2005/06/design_branding.html
where to quote,
When we begin to look at something that for now I'm referring to as "integrated design services", that take all aspects into consideration from the website, the experience, the brand, the communications as well as the product and give an award for that, then, and only then, will design be an integral part of a corporate growth strategy. Apple comes to mind.
Awesome. I couldn't agree more. When I think of award-winning design, I think of "designers" whose work takes enormous professional risks that pay off. Not just design for design sake and not the reinforcement of apologetic status quo thinking about design.
All good stuff.
If I may make a suggestion Bruce, please make a new, more concerted effort to elevate the idea that Great Design is usually about good partnerships. A major problem however, is that a better part of the Design community cannot mount a cohesive and compelling business argument. That is, clients want good design. They generally know how to find it. But when we are charged with connecting that to corporate ROI, the pitch sometimes falls flat. It is as much about the numbers as it is about style, emotion, creativity, innovation, or any other other buzzwords we include in our brochures. How do we better coax this information from our clients?
How can we pitch stronger case studies to our potential design partners that won't reveal proprietary information, but allow us to shed more (flattering) light on a project? For example, "this new product launch, which garnered a Silver IDEA award, increased sales five-fold and reduced manufacturing costs by a third".
If we are not so enabled by our partners, it continues to be difficult to raise the stakes with new, more aggressive clients that want better stories to take back to the executive suite regarding expenditures on Innovation and Design.
I, of course realize that business realities preclude sharing of sensitive data, but we need to press for this final (and some would say most important) component in our case studies. I feel that this is a question for the larger community of Business and Design to resolve together.
Thanks for your continuing support.
I have been screaming the same thing for years. These contests have become a popularity contest rather than finding the new inventors of our time. How can we as designer move forward? It's time we start making a new chapter in our history books.
Great observation here.
The BusinessWeek/Architectural Records "Good Design is Good Business" awards were headed in the right direction for recognizing work that tied architecture to business performance, better results, better processes, but then the usual suspects were rounded up for juries.
At the last ceremony, more than a few jurors first lauded the aesthetics and then wrapped by saying something like "oh yeah, and the business result was..."
drumroll, please.
What followed was usually suspect from a performance metrics perspective.
Sigh...it seemed to devolve into just another runway show where the "model" walks down, turns around and sashays back.
And then...the program was cancelled last year.
So what, in your view, is the makeup and charter of the next generation design jury?
There's a marvellous opportunity here to bring back the BW/AR awards but bring them back truly "redesigned."
the way with these awards is that somebody has got to be judging it, which menas we got people in the know having their opinions put on a pedestal. yes, these winners merit mention, but its the usual suspects most of the time. find judgs from outside the circle, a business person as well if you like, for balance, but a design award will be given to the one with talent and the best mouth to put his/her achievement forward. the oscars tell us all about awards, no surprise!
all the best,
But still there are innovations in web design that can be crusial. I think they should be awarded!

Solving a murder mystery is much more than the BHN bargained for!
What could Ginger the baby boomer, Kindra the college student, Suzanne the pregnant mother of three, and Mary Margret the silver-haired real-estate agent possibly have in common? Who would've guessed…a passion for garage sales!
This motley crew forms the Bargain Hunters Network–bonding while clipping coupons, attending half-price sales, and scouting clearance racks in their hometown of Three Horses, Montana. But when one of the four turns up missing, these shop-till-you-drop women must set their bargain hunting aside to take up an entirely new venture altogether–solving a crime.
As the three amateur sleuths retrace their friend's fateful steps, they discover clues that lead them to suspect her murder is linked to an unusual garage sale purchase made on the morning of her death. But when their search unearths a disturbing secret that's been carefully concealed for over twenty years, the women are drawn into a dark underworld filled with bribery, greed, and deception. With determined criminals who will stop at nothing to keep their secret safe, will these fiscally conscious females end up paying the ultimate price?

GOAL Files Amicus Brief GOAL's position, as explained in detail in our Amicus Brief, is that the "suitable person" standard is unconstitutional on its face and as applied to Mr. Holden, especially with regard to the "core right" to have a handgun in the home, which right was established by the United States Supreme Court's 2008 decision in District of Columbia v. Heller and its 2010 decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago. |
Governor Patrick Signs Chapter 284 into Law. August 14, 2014: The bill is now known as the Acts of 2014, Chapter 284. On Wednesday August 13, 2014 Governor Patrick signed the newest chapter of Massachusetts gun legislation into law. Lets take a look at the many changes that will occur, what was stopped and what was gained by the passing of this legislation. |
MA Legislators Rally With GOAL The Gun Owners Action League of Massachusetts (GOAL) today held a pro 2ndAmendment rally and lobby day at the Massachusetts State House. The State House Park Rangers at between 300-400 attendees estimated the attendance at the rally. The rally and lobby day was held to oppose Speaker DeLeo's gun control bill, as originally drafted, H. 4121. |
GOAL Report: "An Act Relative to Gun Violence" On Tuesday, May 27, 2014 House Speaker Robert DeLeo released "An Act Relative to the Reduction of Gun Violence" to the general public. Upon reviewing the legislation we were very disappointed. GOAL was hoping that after a year of hearings across the state a bill would be drafted that we could immediately support. Sadly, that is not the case. |
GOAL's Review of the Report from the Committee to Reduce Firearm Violence
GOAL DEBATES GROSSMAN; INVITES ALL GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES TO GUN ROUNDTABLE BOSTON – Today, Jim Wallace of GOAL, on the steps of the Massachusetts State House, debated gubernatorial candidate Steve Grossman on gun policy. Wallace emphasized the plight of law-abiding gun owners who feel persecuted under the current Massachusetts laws and the abject failure of the current laws to reduce crime. |
5/21/14 Update: Yesterday the Senate released their version of the pepper spray bill. It is unnecessarily convoluted and confusing. |
Northboro Residents Vote for Freedom. 5/1/14 Update: Victory! Article 58 was resoundingly defeated at town meeting last night. Congratulations and thank you to the good citizens of Northborough who took a stand and voted for freedom. We are very pleased with the result. |
GOAL 2014 Firearms Safety and Education Day for Massachusetts Legislators Thank you to the NSSF, Smith & Wesson, Savage Arms, Kahr Arms/Auto Ordnance, Federal Ammunition, N.Leominster Rod & Gun Club and of course all of the volunteers that made the day possible. As always we had a great day of education, working with MA legislators and their staff, we're already looking forward to next year! |
GOAL's Review of the Report from the Committee to Reduce Firearm Violence It is GOAL's firm belief that any review of the Massachusetts gun laws must begin by acknowledging that the Commonwealth's gun laws have been an abject failure. Since the passage of the 1998 gun control laws, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Injury Surveillance Program (ISP) reports that gun crime has drastically increased in the Commonwealth. In the same time period, licensed gun owners have been decreased by over 80%. In the absence of using these facts as a base, the report as a whole is made suspect regardless of whether we agree with parts or not. Unfortunately, the Committee chose to ignore these facts and instead relied on flawed testimony that attempts to paint the Commonwealth's laws in a positive light. |
DCR Proposal - CMR Would Ban Lawful Posession of Firearms In Many Areas. 2/20/14 Update: For several months GOAL has been working with our members to address concerns with newly proposed regulations from the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), 302 CMR 12.00. The new regulations were a result of merging the old MDC regs with the Forest and Parks regs. These two entities were merged under the Romney administration. When the draft regulations were released, GOAL expressed deep concerns over some of the language concerning the mere possession of firearms as well as hunting issues. We urged our members to attend the hearings that were being held across the state to voice their concerns. As a result of our members doing so, GOAL has been able to work with DCR and the Department of Fish and Game to address our concerns. Currently DCR is in the process of redrafting the proposed regulations taking into consideration our concerns as well as those from other user groups. From what we have seen so far, we are pleased with the progress and will keep our members updated when the redraft is ready for public release. Thanks to all who took part in this effort. Read more |

Scrap-It Inc, leaders in metals recycling and the Gun Owners' Action League have teamed up to support our New England based gun ranges and shooting clubs in their pursuit of environment stewardship. All proceeds from the lead, steel and brass collected during the reclamation process will be split between GOAL, the gun club and Scrap-It, whereby 5% will be paid to GOAL, 22.5% to the gun club and 72.5% to Scrap-It. |
The Truth About "Assault Weapons". In the United States today Americans lawfully own an estimated 20-30 million rifles which are commonly used and often misconstrued by the media, politicians, and gun control advocates as "assault rifles". Here are some facts about these rifles. Thanks to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) for some of the facts below: (note that the NSSF has labeled these rifles "Modern Sporting Rifles" (MSR). Also note: there is an estimated 100 Million lawfully owned rifles of all types in the United States. |

House oversight committee Chairman Darrell Issa told Fox News on Thursday that a massive trove of emails handed to his office on the eve of the elections indicates Attorney General Eric Holder was "at the heart" of deliberations over the Operation Fast and Furious scandal. More than 64,000 pages of documents were given to the committee Monday night, a move Issa, R-Calif., said was a ploy to make sure they didn't sway the election. But he said his staff is starting to go through them – already, one email exchange has surfaced in which Holder in 2011 blasted Issa "and his idiot cronies" looking into the botched anti-gun trafficking operation. |

Caption: OLD HOSPITAL-Pictured is the old Northern Pacific Hospital which stood on the north side of the railroad track at the west end of the railroad bridge. The building was previously called Immigration Hall. The building was divided into two large wards. The room to the east was subdivided into a ward to be used for sleeping quarters for the help and for a kitchen. To the north an addition was built to be used for an office, a drug room and sleeping room for the doctors. At first the hospital was heated by wood burning stoves and had no running water.
Note from Aunt Elsie: Ralph went here when first ill in 1918. George had tonsils out here in 1920 and Ralph had hand hurt…. (can't read the rest).

Happy Hearts Part 1
By: Nuts about Needlepoint
With this project from Nuts About Needlepoint you can be as creative as you want by making each of the hearts special and unique. Try creating Happy Hearts and you'll love the results. It's a fun needlepoint project.
- Kreinik in Taupe Metallic (analogous color scheme for all yarn)
Follow the various patterns to create the Happy Hearts:
If you want to make your own heart sampler begin by drawing out the 2″ squares on your canvas. I have eight on a 6″ x12″ canvas. Then using the heart outlines in this post trace a heart into each square. Then mix or match these patterns or others and threads from your stash into your own design.
The top left heart uses the same pattern as the original heart Twinchy. I used the grid metallic for the zigzag lines, Wild Berries Watercolours for the overdye, two Pebbly Perles (one dyed by me), and an overdyed floss of unknown origin for the heart. The background is done in Basketweave using a hand-dyed silk ribbon.
The top right heart is stitched using a yellow-green color scheme with a sapphire blue accent. The blue and bright yellow-green are both Watercolours, the light yellow-green is a Dinky Dyes silk and the darker yellow-green is EPiC crewel wool.
The center is a Scotch Stitch over five threads. It is surrounded by two borders of mitered Straight Gobelin over three threads. The remainder of the heart is stitched in Basketweave.
The background is Horizontal Diagonal Cashmere.
The next heart on the left is stitched in Irregular Jacquard. By varying the number of stitches in the vertical and horizontal legs, you get an irregular version of the stitch. The longer stitches are done with Rainbow Linen, the shorter ones done with Pebbly Perle.
The background is stitched in Woven Plait using Neon Rays.
The second right heart is stitched in random Diagonal Gobelin and Tent stripes. The key to this pattern is to make every other row Tent Stitches using the same thread (a Dinky Dyes silk in this case). Then vary the width of the Gobelin rows between 1, 2, and 3 stitches. The single row Gobelin just being another Tent Stitch row. These rows alternated threads between Gold Fingering, Pebbly Perle and Dinky Dyes.
The background is stitched in columns of Diagonal Gobelin over two threads using an overdyed floss from Steph Francis in England.

Randy Couture is age 47 and his body looked OLD at the weigh-in.
I think perhaps three years ago, Couture would have beaten Toney. But not now, because Randy is a very old, shot fighter. James Toney will win tomorrow night, but he would lose to a top MMA heavyweight like Brock Lesnar. |

There are much more intangibles that are into play here. James Toney fighting his first ever MMA match with only minimal time training in the various other fighting styles which are necessary to be successful in the "sport". All Randy has to do is take him to the floor and it's over. |

You homosexual MMGAY fans keep talking about the "POTENTIAL" brutality of your sport. TELL ME......When has there ever been a 'limb ripped off" in the UFC?????? You jokers are delusional. Your sport is for girls. |

Anyway, Toney is working on wrestling, grappling, knees + his boxing = James Toney is MMA fighter not just pure boxer. If he want's to proove boxing > MMA then he shouldn't have done any MMA training. Now he can only proove MMA fighter with great boxing and good defensive wrestling skills > MMA fighter with great wrestling and really bad boxing. Tell that to Francois Botha who got armbared by 185 judoka Yoshihiro Akiyama in both fighters MMA debut (not to mention it was first time Akiyama fought in match with actual punches allowed). Or to Rubin Williams, a journeyman who got embarassed by Sakuraba (who is more shot than Roy Jones Jr.). Find the fight on youtube. Or to Matt Skelton who after getting embarassed in MMA debut turned to boxing and even fought against Chagaev for world title. Quote:
Cantwell - Al Hassan Those two are the last one i remember. Look for in some streaming sites. |

Interstitial pneumonia possibly due to a novel anticancer drug, TS-1: first case report. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 11463808 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
A newly approved oral fluoropyrimidine, TS-1, is a dihydropyrimide dehydrogenase (DPD)-inhibiting fluoropyrimidine (DIF) drug. We describe a case of interstitial pneumonia probably caused by TS-1. A peripheral blood lymphocytes stimulating test (DLST) with TS-1 demonstrated a substantial positive reaction. So far only three cases of TS-1-induced interstitial pneumonia have been reported but the relationship between interstitial pneumonia and TS-1 was demonstrated only in this case. Considering that interstitial pneumonia has also been reported with 5-FU, it is necessary in the future to clarify which component of this drug is directly related to interstitial pneumonia. |

Case is Just OK
Monday, April 02, 2012Hoping for more from a case with milwaukee name. The outsides seem a bit flimsy. It fits my milwaukee fork meter nice.
The belt hook is nice
I would rather have the outsides padded rather than flimsy cardboard
Better Than Nothing
Tuesday, July 05, 2011Not too bad, it looks good and somewhat fits the meter. Unfortunately, it is oversized and takes up more room than necessary, and the construction quality is marginal. It may not hold up to wear well.
Looks good
Too large and somewhat cheaply made

I would have placed Aliona and Robin in 1st in the LP too!
Mmm both are not that far apart!! Almost neck to neck, P/T only have one point advantage over S/S. It's not like over 5 or 6 points or something. Both team made mistake with their side by side jump too. Even if S/S is 1st by 1 or 2 points, P/T will still won!!
Other wise, why bother putting short program!!!
Oh, S&S totally - no dispute! Their performance made me cry, it was beautiful.
S & S skated better.
technically close. as to presentation, it depends on one's mood. i was touched by SS's LP but at the same time was excited by PT's performances. anyway, PT well deserved the gold.

Influenza – referred to as "flu" – is a serious threat to the health and well-being of you and your family. Vaccination is the primary method for preventing flu and its severe complications.* You can get vaccinated at a Concentra Urgent Care location.
The current seasonal flu vaccination is generally safe and is the most effective prevention against influenza and flu-related respiratory illness, physician visits related to the flu, hospitalization, and even death. Plus, the vaccine helps maintain a stronger immune system if a new strain of flu emerges.
If you or a family member has been diagnosed with the flu, we offer these helpful tips for taking care of someone with the flu.
If you become exposed to the flu, a physician may also recommend that you begin taking an antiviral medication. This medication doesn't help prevent the flu, but it helps your body fight the infection so your flu symptoms may be less severe. It should be limited to cases with severe symptoms where hospitalization may be required. Overuse of antiviral medications could lead more quickly to resistant strains of the flu.
Use our Location Finder to locate the Concentra Urgent Care nearest you. For your convenience and to avoid wait times, we recommend you call the Center before you go in. Ask about vaccine availability, pricing information, the best day and time to receive the vaccination, and any other questions you have.
Download a copy of the Vaccine Information Sheet published by the CDC: English | Spanish
* Final vaccine composition to be confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Concentra does not guarantee the quality of the vaccine or any results of the vaccine or that any person inoculated with the vaccine will not get the flu.
