Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

The primary influences on Duato's choreography seem to be early Jirí Kylián (Duato danced with, and eventually made works for, Kylián's Nederlands Dans Theater between 1981 and 1990), and his big, weighted, curving movements, like Kylián's during those years, often bring José Limón to mind Both Arenal (created for the Dutch company in 1988) and L'Amoroso (2004), the first piece Duato made for these young dancers, mingle balletic lines with rougher, slightly more boisterous moves. Men strut with flexed feet, women hoist their skirts and splay their legs; lifted, a female can look like a peasant doll. The first dance in particular, with its hand-in-hand chains and sturdy unison passages, suggests a folk community. The women's plain dresses with full skirts, the men's shirts and trousers (costumes by Duato and Babette Van Der Verg), and Walter Nobbe's set reinforce this look. The backdrop shows a horizon guarded by low hills and flanked by two totemic, vaguely Mayan structures.
In Arenal, one woman (Annabelle Peintre) dances somberly, while the nine other performers stand, backs to us, before one of the sculptures. The powerful a cappella voice of María del Mar Bonet (recorded) accompanies all of Peintre's solo appearances, but during a duet, a trio, and a quartet, Bonet is backed by a lively ensemble (guitars, cello, mandolin, percussion, etc.). The solo dancer is not exactly a wet blanket on the brighter, gayer dancing, but a reminder to the others that life has dark moments. Of the other sections, the most charming is the trio. Staying always close together, Begoñia Frutos, Javier Rodríguez, and Javier Monzón dance its fast, intricate steps and partner changes with buoyant spirits and expert feet.
L'Amoroso also features a design by Nobbea sky at dusk and darker hills; the costumes are gray and black, with hints of courtly attire. In this sextet, transitions are accompanied by the sound of a rain tube, while 17th- and 18th-century music from Venice and Naples enlivens most of the dancing, occasionally engendering little flourishes. This last dance on the program brings home the fact that gender differences are a major factor in Duato's choreography. It's not that the men's steps are significantly different from those of the women, but that they often dance as a group, and so do the women. Male-female pairings are ubiquitous (the trio in Arenal is the exception). In L'Amoroso, six people execute three duets. For the central one, Ana López removes her skirt and Rubén Ventoso his jacket, and it's wonderfully tender. Duato is skilled at making a man and woman look as if they're melting together into ardent complexities. I'd love to see a piece of his that didn't emphasize pairings (how about three women and one man? Two women and four men? Individuals within a group?), but maybe that's how he sees the world.
The choreography and ideas of Tony Fabre (former CND member and Duato's assistant) seem very like Duato's in some ways. His Holberg Suite offers oddities that are interesting in themselves but not fully justified. Using Edvard Grieg's marvelous music of the same name, he plays around with ideas of period decorum and contemporary energy. For instance, at one point the women, wearing black trunks with black bands slanting around their torsos, go offstage and return wearing bouffant skirts. For a few moments, they're playful and fussy; one mimes fainting; men's arms wave at them from the wings. They drop the skirts (is that so they can perch, belly down, on the men's upraised feet?), then step back into them for more politesse, then forget about them. But the essence of the dance is simply energetic, happy frolicking with lots of those wide-legged steps and lots of duetting and a silly ending.
The dancers are adorable, and all the pieces make them look lovely and full-spirited. They aren't yet as grounded as the members of their parent company, whose fluidity, as might be expected, comes from a deeper place, but, rightly, they rouse the audience to cheers.

Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth which look, feel and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence. Questions about dental implants in Rockford IL? Call our office for a consultation.
To provide you with a better understanding of dental implants, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to dental implants are discussed.
Having trouble? Please make sure you have version 9 of the Flash browser plugin in order to correctly view this presentation. This software is available as a free download.
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts, which are inserted into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jawbone. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrude through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, implants are placed within your jawbone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums gradually bonding with the jawbone. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. At the same time, your dentist is forming new replacement teeth.
After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins. Dr. Rentschler and Dr. Bruksch will uncover the implants and attach small posts, which will act as anchors for the artificial teeth. These posts protrude through the gums. When the artificial teeth are placed, these posts will not be seen. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients experience minimal disruption in their daily life.
Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Rentschler and Dr. Bruksch are able to place single stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them, but do require a minimum of six weeks of healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implants can be placed at the same time as a tooth extraction — further minimizing the number of surgical procedures. Advances in dental implant technology have made it possible, in select cases, to extract teeth and place implants with crowns at one visit. This procedure, called "immediate loading," greatly simplifies the surgical process.
Implants are a team effort between an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and a Restorative Dentist. While our doctors perform the actual implant surgery, and initial tooth extractions and bone grafting if necessary, the restorative dentist (your dentist) fits and makes the permanent prosthesis. Your dentist will also make any temporary prosthesis needed during the implant process.
A single prosthesis (crown) is used to replace one missing tooth – each prosthetic tooth attaches to its own implant. A partial prosthesis (fixed bridge) can replace two or more teeth and may require only two or three implants. A complete dental prosthesis (fixed bridge) replaces all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. The number of implants varies depending upon which type of complete prosthesis (removable or fixed) is recommended. A removable prosthesis (over denture) attaches to a bar or ball in socket attachments, whereas a fixed prosthesis is permanent and removable only by the dentist.
Dr. Rentschler and Dr. Bruksch perform in-office implant surgery in a hospital-style operating suite, thus optimizing the level of sterility. Inpatient hospital implant surgery is for patients who have special medical or anesthetic needs or for those who need extensive bone grafting from the jaw, hip or tibia.
Once you learn about dental implants, you finally realize there is a way to improve you life. When you lose several teeth – whether it's a new situation or something you have lived with for years – chances are you have never become fully accustomed to losing such a vital part of yourself.
Dental implants can be your doorway to renewed self-confidence and peace of mind.
A Swedish scientist and orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark, developed this concept for oral rehabilitation more than thirty-five years ago. With his pioneering research, Dr. Branemark opened the door to a lifetime of renewed comfort and self-confidence for millions of individuals facing the frustration and embarrassment of tooth loss.
There are several reasons: Why sacrifice the structure of surrounding good teeth to bridge a space? In addition, removing a denture or a "partial" at night may be inconvenient, not to mention that dentures that slip can be uncomfortable and rather embarrassing.
If you are considering implants, your mouth must be examined thoroughly and your medical and dental history reviewed. If your mouth is not ideal for implants, ways of improving outcome, such as >bone grafting, may be recommended.
The majority of dental implants and bone graft can be performed in the office under local anesthesia, with or without general anesthesia.
Once the implants are in place, they will serve you well for many years if you take care of them and keep your mouth healthy. This means taking the time for good oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) and keeping regular appointments with your dental specialists.
Bar Attachment Denture is a contemporary restoration that has revolutionized the way surgeons and dentists think of replacing a full set of teeth. Dentures are unsecured prostheses with very limited success. Most often, dentures are painful, inconvenient and unstable. Such dentures can make chewing foods difficult limiting the foods that you once enjoyed. Modern dentistry can help with the Bar Attachment Denture.
The Bar Attachment Denture treatment concept replaces your missing teeth with a full dental bridge supported by only four dental implants. With less implants needed, overall treatment time and cost is reduced. The unique Bar Attachment Denture solution also ensures greater stability in the bone, reducing the need for bone graft surgery to increase bone volume.
Typically, a temporary set of teeth can be placed on the same day of surgery. The temporary teeth allow you to lead a normal life immediately after surgery. After a short healing period, your dentist will placed the final bridge. Your quality of life is improved, and you can start enjoying your favorite foods again with renewed confidence.
Scientifically proven and documented. Bar Attachment Denture is supported by good clinical outcomes from studies over a decade with favorable results.

= celebrity CARICATURE quicksketches =
I work part-time drawing live caricatures at a very popular theme-park. It's an amazingly fun and challenging gig in all aspects, and I recommend it to anyone looking to improve their speed, calligraphy, cartooning, understanding of facial anatomy and structure, gesture, silhouettes, composition, or overall drawing skills. If you push yourself, it's not just a cute kid "in a dune buggy - cuz everyone loves dune buggies!!!" - one can achieve many goals by this incessant practice under pressure of the public (as frustrating as it can be, at times).
Anyway, I love caricature and portraiture, and I've got a running blog (mostly for my own entertainment) of my live work and other sketches, to keep me motivated, honest, and working. http://joebluhm.blogspot.com - My latest update are of some sketches that I've done from magazines and photos while killing time in the theme-park. They're quick, but fairly fun.
Here's a couple samples... There are plenty more in my blog:

lol nice work man, i really dig the rest of the work in your blog especially the tiger woods piece.
Hey Geuseppe how long do these usually take?
April 20th, 2006 #3
These celebrity sketches may take from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on how slow it is that day, or how much I try to push myself with the drawing. The live caricatures of random guests and vacationers take from 3-8 minutes each.
April 20th, 2006 #4
I sometimes wonder where do those artists go with their creative careers after they've worked as caricature artists at the various theme parks.
I worked at Six Flags during high school in the early eighties as my spring/summer/fall after school job. Mostly did charcoal and pastel portraits rather than caricatures, tho. It definitely improved my drawings skills with all of that practice.
April 20th, 2006 #5
its like your trying to convert a buncha of people into caricature artists. Preach the good words brother!
Crit, elton looks too much like a kid..
I dont even know the name of the 2nd dude but I recognize him. So juicy props on that
April 20th, 2006 #6
Love the blog. Great stuff...I knew the Liam Neeson one with only the forehead and eyes.
I don't think I'd have the balls to draw the more unflattering stuff before payment.
April 20th, 2006 #7
Great ones! I went on your blog and the one of Liam Neeson made me cry of laughter!! Great work!
April 20th, 2006 #8
Thanks. Good crit on Elton. The 2nd dude is Benicio Del Toro. (He always looked like a latin Brad Pitt to me)
I've wondered the same thing, Tatiana... Now after being immersed into it, I find that many of them settle in with caricature and live gigs. One can make a great living, if you find your market and do it right. I'm on my way out of the profession, but wonder if I'll ever WANT to be done with it... (live, I mean) I love it too much.
Some names you may recognize: Andy Bergholtz, Steve Silver, Tom Richmond... all live theme-park caricaturists before they did what they're rocking out now.
...I'm not really recruiting, but just a little overly-enthusiastic recently. I'm becoming a bit too harsh on myself, which I know is good, and I get to go to Japan next week as an invited caricaturist (to draw).
April 20th, 2006 #9
Great to see you keep pushing yourself.
man. how is it you're still alive after all them unflatering caricatures you did in the park. I guess your street cred allows you to push the envelope there.
April 20th, 2006 #10
Those poor children! They'll be scarred for life! I love it!
I really admire good caracature artists. It's a great skill and your stuff shows it off.
My only crit would be to push the shadows/values more. But, I know that's tough in daylight, and the fact that you're doing the art so quickly.
April 20th, 2006 #11
No, you are right, Goo. I need to get a more dynamic look, not just on the X/Y plane, but the Z as well, so it looks more dimensional. That's something I've observed lately and must work on.
Thanks, Arkady. Most people can take exaggeration, with the right environment.
April 20th, 2006 #12
Holy shit that is some funny stuff on your blog - you are the BEST THEME PARK CHARACTURIST EVAH!!!11!!eleven!
I can't believe you didn't get punched for this one http://www.joebluhm.com/live/april_sketch_1.jpg
April 20th, 2006 #13
...FALGERCARP! ?? No complaints, except the backing of the second one.
April 20th, 2006 #14
FUN FUN FUUUUNNNN FUN FUN FUUUNNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love caricatures, I think Im gonna do few too now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those celebrity caricatures are soooo successful you really did them well
I was thinking weather any of those clients of the caricatures got angry, I have never done this before in public but was just wondering that some people would like to see them looking a bit more beautiful rather than exaggarate their negative features But that of course would spoil the image it wont be caricature anymore
look I dont know why I love you I just do
April 20th, 2006 #15
If you really want to try it, go to a bar and just bring a pad of paper and pencil/pen. Just draw someone you know or someone who's not looking at you, and give it to them with a smile, as you walk back to your stool... make sure the bar is full of young people and comfortable. This is a GREAT way to practice, because if they've had a drink or two, they'll all be throwing money at you to draw them, or at least posing or laughing and enjoying what you're doing. It invites a good laugh, and as long as you get a likeness, you're not going to get punched (much).
April 20th, 2006 #16
These are terrific. The Liam Neeson & Leonado DiCaprio ones on your blog are awesome, & Brad Pitt has never looked more smug...& he looks smug a lot!
April 20th, 2006 #17
God do I ever love a good caricature, and you certainly have a damn good eye for it. I wish you were working at the local Six Flags whenever I go, they seem to lack that certain knack for capturing the essence of people so I always avoid getting my caricature done.
I've been looking at getting into caricatures as a way to vastly improve my severely bland face sketches and give them the kind of character they need; aside from practicing constantly, do you have any tips or helpful suggestions for those of us who might be starting out? Maybe some pitfalls to avoid on the path to a proper caricature? I try to avoid 'em, but even a good book on the subject would help me a little bit along enough to understand better what it is I need to do.
Thanks, and keep up the awesome work =)
April 20th, 2006 #18
I saw your site a while back, I was amazed then but now after seeing these and your blog i'm fucking dumbstruck. Insane.
April 20th, 2006 #19
lavhoes: It's just like anything, look at those that you admire. I keep an eye on a few different people for different stylistic traits, strong points, and different reasons.
First off, drawing portraits is a must. Getting an undeniable likeness is key. If you can't draw a portrait that you're 99% happy with (even if it takes a month to complete one good drawing), then you're not ready for true caricature. A lot goes into uniqueness and eyes/expression. Once you pick up a facial anatomy book (any decent one) or head-drawing/structure book, or are just comfortable with what makes the face do what it does (look in the mirror a LOT and draw MANY self-portraits with harsh and soft lighting), then you can start pushing things a little at a time. If someone has a big nose, understand that everything else must be a bit smaller. It takes a while to find the balances.
To see some great exaggeration and rendering, check out Sebastian Krueger (krugerstars.com) and Jan OpDeBeeck (opdebeeck.com). Al Hirshfeld was a great example of someone who simplified things, and once you see what works minimally, it can help your exaggeration choices, even if you're rendering like Krueger (or Sergent, for that matter!).
I don't mean to ramble or preech... I guess there just aren't as many enthusiastic artists around me that much, so I'm excited to see people excited about caricature.
OH - and if you have a few extra bucks saved this fall, come to Orlando for the NCN convention (www.caricature.org) ... my GOD it's amazing.
April 20th, 2006 #20
Oh awesome, that's what I was hoping to hear. I've been studying face/head stuff for years, but it just stupidly dawned on me that I could know proportions and angles and anatomy like the back of my hand but it isn't going to do me a damn lick of good if I'm not drawing a specific face with actual character to him, y'know?
I started studying Disney animation recently to add a bit of pizazz to my character's poses, even my live model figure drawing stuff, so I figured caricatures (which I've always enjoyed) would do the same sort of thing for faces. It's harder to overexaggerate than underexaggerate, I figure, so I'm gonna give it a shot.
Thanks for the advice, and keep up the awesome work!
April 20th, 2006 #21
No problem... and check out Steve Silver's work - get his little sketchbook (volume 2 out this summer) - I look at his work almost every day.
April 20th, 2006 #22
I checked out your website, and though i like these celebrity sketches, I think I actually like your live stuff more. Maybe it's because those are fresh faces I've never looked at before, but some of those are awesome. When you capture the volume just right it really makes a charicature sing. Good work, love the blog.
April 20th, 2006 #23
April 20th, 2006 #24
I agree - live work is more inspiring and exciting. When you can see a face in 3-D it makes it far more interesting to draw and challenge yourself... so many options.
I'm planning to self-publish a book full of this work by the fall (fingers crossed!) called REJECTS
April 20th, 2006 #25
if I buy one, can you draw a quick caricature of me on the inside ahhaa
...hey I know Andy tight!
April 20th, 2006 #26
It's always great to see your work, Joe, and I'm loving your blog. It might sound weird, but my favorite part of your caricatures is the under-sketch you do. (for those of you who didn't know, the final is drawn with pure unforgiving marker, so he does a quick 10-second gesture of the face usually.) I feel like I see your thoughts more looking at those, and the rest is icing on the cake. I've also always been impressed at the variety you pull off with only 48 colors to choose from (that's all you get with art stix). Hope to see ya before the NCN convention, and before the San Diego Comicon.
April 20th, 2006 #27
Man, you're makin me want to go back to doing park caricatures... I did it for a couple years for Kaman's back in Virginia, I remember seeing some of the stuff you were doing back then too. Ballsy! Although I never felt like I was stretching my art super hard when I was there (was too scared of not making rent! ), it was the best thing I could have done for speed and confidence. I never drew in public before that job, now I regularly go out and sketch. The good of it outweighs the bad, I definitely agree. Thanks for sharing!
edit- haha abe avatars...
April 21st, 2006 #28
hehe lol, you're good!
April 21st, 2006 #29
naw fat kid, there's probably NO pencil involved, just markers. From doing it long enough and seeing good caricature artists like Joe do it, I'd say there's really no formula (not for the good artists), and especially there's no one way to exaggerate a face. It's why Sebastian Krueger can do 50 different paintings of the rolling stones and they're all right on. After studying thousands of faces, I think you start getting a feel for what's normal and what's unique. I'm not there yet, but I'm at the point where looking at someone's funky body is entertaining.

2011-10-15 Pathfinder Subscriptions Canceled
I just sent the following mail to Paizo customer service:
- Hello! I'd like to cancel my Planet Stories and my Pathfinder Modules subscription. The unread books are piling up and even though I wish I'd have more time, I end up doing other stuff instead of reading the books. Sorry! As for the modules – I've recently switched all my campaigns over to old school D&D and find that doing stuff myself works just as well. I'll also be canceling my Pathfinder Adventure Path subscription once the current Adventure Path ends – there's a little bit of a completist left in me – but I'll send you another email once that happens.
- Cheers
- Alex
Why is that? I no longer play the system, and I no longer need the wordy style.
- Two out of three campaigns I am running use Labyrinth Lord
- I stopped the one of the D&D 3.5 game I was running and converted the other to Solar System RPG
- We finished Legacy of Fire using Pathfinder and will be switching to a HARP campaign instead
- The DIY spirit of the old school D&D blogs has convinced me that my preferred style of gaming (it's a continuous journey as far as I can tell) involves very little preparation and reading only very short descriptions of adventure locales—the Pathfinder products, however, require hours of reading and note taking—the Pathfinder stuff is not short enough
- A few months ago I wrote that "I find myself unwilling to spend a lot of money for role-playing game products as I realize how little material I actually read and use – even though I play around ten times every month." Still true.
With all the money saved, I might be buying Anomalous Subsurface Environment and the latest issues of Fight On and Knockspell instead.

glad to see something positive on the bee front. (even though these are bumble bees)
off topic:
MN sent me a small bottle of honey that the bees in AZ make from the desert flowers. You can literally taste the cactus flower type flavor compared to a Central Texas wildflower, or a Southeastern Tupelo honey. It is gooooood stuff. (and I'm not a big honey eater either)

The Tough Guide to Fantasyland: The Essential Guide to Fantasy Travel (original 1996; edition 2006)
by Diana Wynne Jones
Work details
The Tough Guide to Fantasyland by Diana Wynne Jones (1996)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Recommended, nay, essential, reading for anyone about to embark on writing or reading fantasy. Highly amusing, and for a writer, most instructive ...
Warning: may ruin reading Extruded Fantasy Product for you forever, and so it should.
"Dark Lord Approved" says it all. This "tour" of all the clichés, monsters, missing heirs and magic users of most fantasy novels is witty, very funny, and very true. It pretty much covers any possible combination of characters and plot devices you might encounter in any fantasy book you read. It will have you laughing out loud in many places, especially if you recognize which books some of the clichés come from. The standard food of stew and Jones' theory of how horses are bred in Fantasyland are hysterical; the Gnomic Utterances at the beginning of each alphabetical section are a hoot. I had not heard of several of the topics—the Marsh Dwellers, the Reek of Wrongness—so I guess I need to read more. Altogether, The Tough Guide to Fantasyland is a must-have reference work. ;-)
Recensione su: http://wp.me/p3X6aw-gS
Review at: http://wp.me/p3X6aw-gS
A Tough Guide to Fantasyland is a wry, fun look at fantasy tropes, which any aficionado of the genre with a scrap of awareness should have noticed by now. It's not the sort of thing you can sit down and read from cover to cover, generally -- it's a reference book. It's the sort of thing you dip into, and spend a half hour here and there perusing.
I miss Diana Wynne Jones, I really do.
This is quite funny at times. A very quick read. I recommend for anyone who's EVER read a fantasy novel.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (3)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0142407224, Paperback)Suffering from a bit of deja vu after reading your umpteenth fantasy trilogy? Seen too many magic swords, musical elves and warring wizards? Then you're ready for the funniest and most complete "tourist's" guide to Fantasyland's standard character types, plot elements, and settings ever devised.
Diana Wynne Jones describes (starting, of course, with a map) every sword-and-sorcery cliché in wickedly accurate detail, arranged alphabetically. Elves sing in beautiful, unearthly voices about how much better things used to be. Swords with Runes may kill dragons or demons, or have powers like storm-raising, but they are not much use when you're attacked by bandits. You can only have an Axe if you're a Northern Barbarian, a Dwarf, or a Blacksmith. Jones also tackles hard-hitting questions: how does Fantasyland's ecology work when there are few or no bacteria and insects and vast tracts of magically irradiated wastelands? Why doesn't the economy collapse when pirates and bandits are so active and there is no perceptible industry?
The Tough Guide to Fantasyland (U.K. Edition) was a 1997 Hugo and World Fantasy Award nominee. It's a good companion to Jones's Dark Lord of Derkholm, a fantasy about what happens when your land is turned into a theme park for questing tourist parties. Fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books will enjoy both. --Nona Vero
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:26:58 -0400)
A unique guide to fantasy literature helps readers understand such subjects as virginity, why High Priests are always evil, how Dark Lords always have minions, and useful tips on what to do when captured by a Goblin.

Waste & Resources Action Programme
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (May 2011)
WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) WRAP is a registered charity. It works with businesses, individuals and communities to achieve a circular economy through helping them reduce waste, develop sustainable products and use resources in an efficient way.
WRAP was established in 2000 as a company limited by guarantee.[1] and receives funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Northern Ireland Executive, Zero Waste Scotland, the Welsh Government and the European Union.
WRAP developed the "Recycle Now",[2] "Love Food, Hate Waste" and "Love your Clothes" initiatives.[3][4] These aim to help businesses, local authorities, community groups and individuals recycle and reuse more, and reduce food waste.
Over recent years it has also brokered a number of voluntary agreements with business including:
- The construction sector – with more than 700 companies succeeding in halving their waste to landfill by 2012[5]
- The retail sector – through the Courtauld Commitment[6] food and drink organisations are working together to reduce food, packaging and supply chain waste. Signatories to the Courtauld Commitment include industry leaders such as Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda and big brands such as Unilever and Nestlé.
- The clothing industry – through the 'Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP)', working together to reduce the clothing industry footprint through sustainable design, reuse and recycling.
These commitments fall within WRAP's four main business areas: Food and drink waste reduction, Sustainable products, resource management and the built environment.
WRAP is extending its work internationally, having recently worked in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to develop a global food waste guidance tool as part of the UNEP Think.Eat.Save. initiative.
WRAP's CEO Dr Liz Goodwin was voted one of the Environmentalist's Top 10 in their Power List.

Parking at Calais for train to London St. Pancras

He needs to find a secure carpark that he can park his car in for about 9 days. I'd love to be able to book it for him in advance also.

Long term parking in Calais close to the ferry terminal
Hi there,
I hope somebody can help me.
Does anybody have experience (or happens to know)if there is a secure long term parking car park close to the port?
I think I found one, but it doesn't seem to be possible to book a space in advance via internet and just gives a french phone nr.(I don't speak french).
I wouldn't want my parents taking a risk and just turning up and hope for the best. It has to be secure as well. Thanks for your help!
What time before the ferry should I turn up at Dover ?
£80 for me and the family, it's a deal!. We'd normally fly to the continent then hire a car but as we'd be going to France or Germany anyway this time it's a no brainer.
I've never taken a car ferry before, how long before the scheduled departure should I aim for. I can't find this obvious piece of advice anywhere.
Genealogy Research trip
My g.g.grandfather Nathaniel Powell & his brother Thomas were lace makers from England living in Calais in the 1840s. Most of their children were born there before they came to the US arounf 1850 and settled in CONN & Philadelphia. Two of the sons(my g.grandfather) started a stocking mill in Philadelphia in 1879 and became quite successful. We want to see the lace museum and the area of St. Pierre where they lived. We are wondering where the best archives are--perhaps city hall? Could we find a history buff to hire for a tour. We will only come down from London on the train for the day--9:30am-9:30pm. perhaps on Sept 9th.
Pat & Bill
Travelling Rome - UK via Calais
My wife and I are in our 70's and will be arriving in Calais (by train) from Rome.

06h00 Where to go for coffee
We are arriving at 06h00 in Calais on Sea France, but have to wait for some friends on a later ferry. Can you advise where we can go close to the port for coffee and croissants while we wait?
Lions on TV
Anyone have any idea where in Calais I can watch the Lions v All BLacks Live on Saturday 24th June . Help.
eating in calais
Does anyone know of a cheap place to eat in Calais please? We have tried Flunches in the Auchan a couple of times and been very disappointed each time. Have heard about Buffalo grill, which is opposite, but don't know what sort of prices they charge. We can catch a bus into the town itself so that wouldn't be a problem if there is somewhere nice there. Thanks in advance
Calais to Bayeux?
Traveling with the family from London to France for a couple of days. Would like to depart Eurostar at Calais and get to Bayeux the same day. What's the best way to that? Car? Train? Go to Paris and then take the train to Bayeux?

my ddaughter was born at 5.8 pounds at the end of a ftp.she was a wee little thing. at 3 month weighed in at 11.6 pounds. the paed seemed happy said she was doing fine. but i cant help worrying. she is so small when compared to 3 month old babies. her milestones r fine and she is an active baby. she is a fussy eater. drinks only 22 to 24 ounce a day. anyone else struggling with baby weight. will adding rice cereal to her bottle increase weight gain.
baby weight. am worried
My son was 5.15 at birth and at his 2 month appt he was only 9.9 so I am thinking now at 3 months he is not above 11lbs. The ped. was happy at his 2 month appt. because he is gaining weight and he is hitting all his milestones. I have no idea how much he eats in a day he is EBF but he eats every 2-3 hours. I would not worry as long as they are hitting their milestones and are gaining weight not losing it. I think we just have small babies that will grow when they are ready. I don't know about the rice thing I would ask your ped. before doing it though.
I would not be worried, she was on the smaller side to begin with so she will not be as big as a baby born at 8lbs. I think it is great that she has doubled her birth weight. My son is 14lbs 13oz and he looks like a 5 month old so I think that 11 almost 12 lbs is great.
that is perfectly healthy...my baby that was 8.1 at birth at 10 weeks was 11.6, then I took her back two weeks later (yesterday) and she has gained a pound and a half in two weeks...she is now 12.12...you are good to go
Mom to rainbown baby Addie born 1-13-09 via emergency C-section after 39 hours of labor!
DD was 5 lb 9 oz at birth and at her 2 month appointment, she was 9 lb 3 oz. Pedi is happy with her weight. She still doesn't eat much, 2-3 oz at a time... at most 24 oz a day. As long as she is gaining weight, I wouldn't worry about it. Talk to your pedi before doing the rice cereal though, it doesn't have a lot of nutritional value.
I wouldn't worry either like PP person said as long as she is gaining and not loosing she should be alright my DD was 7lbs 8oz when she was born so quite a bit bigger than your LO and she was 11lbs at her 2month i expected her to be more towards the 12-13lb range like all my sisters babies were but my pedi was happy as well I would think of it as your smaller than average babies had a little catching up to do so give them some time it will even out all babies are different remember and as long as she is reaching her milestones and gaining even if it is only a little I would be happy with that at least she isn't growing out of her clothes at max speed right? lol
oh also just for an example i have a 3 year old cousin and a 3 year old niece and the difference between them is AMAZING my cousin is like half a foot shorter than my niece everyone thinks my cousin is 2 and my niece is 5 some children develope slower then others and some are just meant to be little
I think your doing great! stay confident
Daria FTM to Alessandra Ann born 1-28-09
It sounds like she is fine. Don't worry about comparing her to other babies so strictly. And weight alone doesn't necessarily mean much - height, gestational age, size of parents, developmental milestones, etc. also factor in. My ODD was born tiny like that too and was always in the bottom 25% for her height and weight compared to age. She went through periods of being picky and periods of eating everything she could talk us into letting her have. She hit 4 and all the sudden shot up like crazy. My DD is 5 now and has grown 2 inches in the last 9 months and is one of the bigger kids in her K class and is doing advanced 1st grade (almost to 2nd grade) reading.
I think is fine, Our daughter was 4 weeks early and she was 6 lbs 2oz when born, then she dropped to 5 lbs 8 oz the next day. She is 10 weeks now and just at 11 lbs and the pedi was happy. Some babies are just smaller too. As long as the peditrician says its fine I would not worry, but I know that's hard.
My daughter was 6lbs 8oz at birth and at her 2 month appt she was only 9lbs 4oz. So I am assuming she won't be big at 3 months either. Our ped wasn't worried though because my first daughter was just a little peanut as well (she was only 8lbs 6oz at 2 months!). Try not to worry.
Wife to: Pete
Mommy to: Jaidyn (5-19-02) Lyla (1-20-09) Sophie (11-20-12)
Rice cereal is NOT going to help her gain weight - and it sounds like she is gaining plenty! she was TINY when she was born, and she's already doubled her birth weight!! She is just a smaller baby - someone has to be in the lower percentiles as far as weight goes! She sounds like she is gaining weight perfectly - in fact I think she has gained MORE weight than my 8lb 14oz baby has gained since he was born!
my 8 lb 10 oz baby weighed in at 13 lb 5 oz at his 3 month check - I think you daughter is gaining great!!! She already doubled her birth weight! You are doing great :)

Gear Question
David Wheeler
Can these bars be trimmed to fit ? Say i...
Can these bars be trimmed to fit ? Say i want 52"
Jason Livingston
Absolutely. I would measure twice and cut once though:). I believe it's always better to get longer bars just in case. Once you have them on your car, you can determine if they are too long. The only recommendation from Yakima is that the weight limit of your rack system hasn't been exceeded. You can have as long a bar as you want. Obviously if the bar is too long, it may cause people exiting the vehicle to hit their heads.
Donald Schmit
Also, the other thing to watch out for is that you do want some extra on each side of the towers. I don't remember if it said 1 inch or 2 but when I installed my rack it did say to ensure there was a certain amount of extra on each side.

I've spending an awful lot of time thinking about the birds no one sees. That's not something birders, or anyone, ponders often.

We don't talk about the birds that no one ever sees, mostly because we don't know anything about them.

For Aztecs, next season starts now
"Stability is a very important factor in the success of any organization, and that holds for coaching," Fisher said.
SDSU is finalizing the paperwork for center Brian Carlwell to apply for a sixth year of eligibility. The medical hardship would be for his sophomore season at Illinois, when he played sparingly due to a knee injury and lingering effects of a life-threatening car accident as a freshman.
The request goes from SDSU to the Mountain West Conference, which forwards it to the NCAA. From there, it takes a few weeks to get a ruling. We could have an answer before school ends in May.
Carlwell has said he's not 100 percent set on returning even if the hardship is granted. But Fisher is on record saying he wants the 6-11, 300-pound center back, particularly with a roster depleted of bigs.
The Aztecs will have at least four scholarships available, and maybe as many as six if Leonard and Carlwell don't return. And perhaps even more if someone else leaves.
Two have been filled with 6-8 forwards: DeShawn Stephens from Santa Monica College, and LMU transfer Kevin Young.
Fisher said he expects to land two more recruits this spring (the letter-of-intent window opens April 13). There's also a chance, depending on how many scholarships become available, of getting Division I transfers who would sit out next season. Stay tuned.
The point
With the departure of Gay, the Aztecs not only lose their captain but 35.2 minutes per game worth of point-guard play. Who takes control?
It was supposed to be freshman LaBradford Franklin, who showed promise in October practices but slid further and further down the bench as the season progressed.
After appearing in each of the first 13 games, he got in only four of the remaining 24.
The other option is 6-3 Xavier Thames, who sat out this season as a transfer from Washington State. Or maybe the Aztecs can get by with sophomore off-guard Chase Tapley running the point. Or maybe they dip into the JC ranks for help.
The Aztecs are already committed to home games against Cal, USC and Long Beach State, and a road game at UC Santa Barbara. Cal and USC are upper tier Pac-10 programs, Long Beach State has virtually everyone back from a 22-win team and UCSB has made the NCAA Tournament two straight seasons.
Fisher will flesh out the remainder of the nonconference schedule — which will be two games longer with the MWC shrinking from nine to eight schools — over the coming weeks and months. The big question is what kind of budget he'll have to do it.
One of the key resources missing at SDSU is the ability to pay opponent guarantees to stock the nonconference schedule with "winnable" home games. Fisher had enough money to "buy" two Div. I games this season.
Now he'll have a less experienced roster full of new faces — the kind of team that probably needs to build confidence in the confines of Viejas Arena. But will they be afforded that luxury?

EQ2: Perfect Patch?
Man, todays patch was HUGE and did so many fixes and additions that my head is still spinning. Best of all, I noticed one thing that they did not mention in the Patch Msg is that now your have storage in your apartment! Enter your Apt and click on the door, look near exit Apt! On my single room Apt, I have 2 slots. Im guessing with larger rooms you get more slots.
With the graphic changes (SK Horse is now Black, Monk AQ Armor is nolonger Pink and more changes) and all the bug and gameplay changes, I can't find anything negative in it.
Its really a great patch... SOE really did an awsome job.
/emote waits for SOE Haters to bring up something to complain about
Re: EQ2: Perfect Patch?
Why can't you just store stuff wherever you want like in SWG?
Re: EQ2: Perfect Patch?
Becasue without limit people can horde everything. Limited space creates a need to keep the economy moving by selling to players, destroying the items or selling to merchants. It keeps the economy from flooding, look at SWG you can buy everything and anything at any given time.
Re: EQ2: Perfect Patch?
Woot! Gonna check out the extra storage in my house on my lunch :) Thanks for the heads up egbtmagus!
Re: EQ2: Perfect Patch?
hmm i wonder why they didnt put that storage info in the patch notes, i presume u can put a strong box in those storage slots to give u more storage space?
im still getting the heavy stuttering on water areas though.
Re: EQ2: Perfect Patch?
SK horse is black? Hopefully they didnt make it prissy like Paladin horse. Oh god save me from that!
Re: EQ2: Perfect Patch?
Hmmm...I looked in my one room apartment and don't see any "slots" to put stuff....Am I just looking in the wrong place?
Re: EQ2: Perfect Patch?
Chris, It still has the smae look. It's just now black with dark grey hair.
Re: EQ2: Perfect Patch?
Ya I logged in. Looks like red mane now though. pretty awesome. That + 71.80 driveres supporting SLI. I'm a happy camper for EQ 2 right now.

Re: EQ2: Perfect Patch?

Shimanek Bridge -
As Linn County's newest and longest covered span, the Shimanek Bridge offers an exception to the usual open-sided structure with rounded portals.
Red paint, portal design and louvered windows are features similar to the former span, which was built in 1927, and found on no other bridge in Linn County. Rods in the truss are grouped into a series of four instead of the usual three at each compression joint. The bridge shares the white painted interior of other Linn County bridges.

The numbers for December are in, and they're saying good things. According to the city's most recent tax revenue report, West Point's sales tax revenue jumped to $209,310.64 compared to last year's sales tax total of $204,129.48 for a $5,181.16 (2 percent) increase.
West Point Mayor Robbie Robinson said although he was hopeful for a larger increase, he was still satisfied with the numbers.
"Anytime we don't go into the red or lose ground, that's good news," Robinson said. "I'm pleased with it. I was hopeful that it might have been a little more for December, because those numbers we received reflect Christmas shopping."
Robinson said commerce zipping in and out of local retail outlets is the biggest boon to sales tax revenue collected each month.
And, according to Robinson, it's only getting better.
"I think we're going to see increases every month, either slight or a big jump," Robinson said. " ... We've had several ribbon cuttings in the last month or so, which means there are new retail establishments popping up in West Point ... The more businesses we have, the higher the sales tax collected will be.
"I think these new businesses will attract shoppers from out of town," Robinson added. "I think the retail side, just like the industrial side, is attached to regionalism."
