Thanks guys. She does seem to be less energetic, but it has been very gradual and I have just put that down to her age. My daughter is 3, has only started taking notice of the cat, and just wants to cuddle/kiss her constantly, Molly(my cat) has a great nature and seems to put up with it, but I know that she doesn't get a minutes peace when she is in the same room. That is the only thing I can think of that has changed.
I will definitely make an appointment with the vet. I will let you all know how I get on.
Many thanks for the replies.

FOXBORO, MA - JANUARY 10: Tom Brady #12 of the New England Patriots gestures as he lines up in the shotgun formation against the Baltimore Ravens during the 2010 AFC wild-card playoff game at Gillette Stadium on January 10, 2010 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
The Patriots insist that their rout of the Texans was not a ''statement'' game to show they could excel against the team with the NFL's best record. They made one - loud and clear - nevertheless. Tom Brady and company let the dwindling group of doubters know that they can dominate even their best opponents and are still improving as they head toward the playoffs. ''It needs to come together now,'' Brady said after throwing four touchdown passes in New England's 42-14 win over Houston on Monday night. ''This is the perfect time for it. We can't wait any longer.'' There was plenty of pregame focus on the Texans' big playmakers - J.J. Watt with an AFC-high 16 1/2 sacks, Arian Foster with an NFL-leading 15 touchdowns, Andre Johnson with 74 receptions. And Houston was the only NFL team with a perfect road record at 6-0. Not anymore. The Patriots (10-3) took command quickly, scoring on passes in their first three possessions. Whether or not they wanted to deliver a message that the ...

Justin Rose of Britain and Peter Hanson of Sweden won the Tyco Golf Skills Challenge at the Breakers on Monday. Rose and Hanson, teammates on this year's Ryder Cup-winning European team, beat recent U.S. Ryder Cup rivals Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley in the Reverse Scramble finale on a breezy day to secure the title. ''It crosses your mind a little bit,'' Rose said when asked if there was any Ryder Cup feel during the final event. ''The only Ryder Cup element would be a teasing one, maybe a gentle joke or something like that.'' The Reverse Scramble went to two tee-offs before being decided in a chip-off. Hanson chipped to within 2 feet, 10 inches of the hole, beating out Bradley's chip that was 3 feet, 6 inches away. ''The biggest skill today was survival,'' Rose said. ''The weather was kind of tough.'' The other teams that took part in the event were Zach Johnson and Kyle Stanley, and Mark O'Meara and Mark Calcavecchia. The six skills were: long drive, mid-iron, bunker sho...

We're still having such a hard time absorbing the tragic news of John Travolta's sons death, so we can only imagine the grief the family is going through.
Police Superintendent Basil Rahming said on Saturday the autopsy, which could determine the cause of death of Jett Travolta, was likely to be performed on Monday. And so far two experts have been commissioned for the job.
The family has yet to release any further information about the accident, but police have launched a full-blown investigation.
Initial reports suggested that Jett was not discovered for hours after the seizure, but John Travolta's lawyer and close friend, Michael McDermott, and family attorney Michael Ossi, both of whom are with John in the Bahamas, claim otherwise.
McDermott and Ossi say it is still unclear if Jett fell to the floor as a result of a seizure or if he had a seizure after falling or slipping. There was blood on the floor of the bathroom, but "not a tremendous amount," reports TMZ.
Either way there was only a short window of time between his fall and the seizure, says McDermott. And the ambulance was called right after. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The autopsy will take place on Monday morning and John Travolta has made arrangements with a funeral home in the Bahamas to ship Jett's body on Tuesday, presumably to their family home in Florida.
Our condolences go out to the Travolta family. Losing a child is probably one of the hardest things anyone can deal with. Our hearts go out to them.

No Warning Shot broadcast live on Thursday the 22nd May 2014, Two hours of Tech Hose rollers
Category Archives: No Warning Shot
Thursdays are rocking and rolling on Brap right now. This week see's No Warning Shot return with guest mix Phatter than your grannies ankles from techno fiend Korruptor. All the usual fun and games included at no extra charge to you, the listener.
This week No warning Shot is back and the new and improved time of 8pm GMT
Two fantastic hours of Tech House and Techno from guy_the_rev and a cracking guest mix from Beet Monster
So No Warning Shot is Brap after 2 years in the wild eating slugs and drinking polluted puddle water. What can I say? Its great to be back. This weeks show feature two hours of tech house and techno garnered over the last two year. Heres where I am, some old, some new but all worthy of the roller disco. The show starts with a classic and then some more stripped back stuff culminating in a 30 minute techno work out at the end
Well what can I say about Glade? It was everything and more than I expected. This year was the second time I chanced my arm at Glade so I was as keen as mustard to get there in the days before that I had to work and get back to what Vice magazine once described as "the messiest festival- and I dont mean litter.."
So Friday morning finally came and I nipped into Norijager city centre to get a fresh sleeping bag, duvet and a few other bits and headed to the Bus station. This would be the first time I would solely rely on public transport to get to and from a festival, in hindsight this wasnt the smartest idea that Ive ever had, lots of bag carrying and weirdos on the bus.
When I finally did get to the site, it had rained pretty hard, I soon knew though that the vibe for the weekend was a strong one on the site as I had to leave my belongings with some complete strangers so that I could trek down through the site to find the press tent. A night and afternoon of heavy rain had rendered the site not very suitcase friendly… Anyhow all my stuff complete with booze and fags was still there 20 minutes later when I returned to pick it all up. Many thanks to you two guys if your reading this diary.
So I rolled up to the press tent around 4.30pm to meet with Kev after a pretty brutal 4 hour mission on public transport from Norwich. Dont ask me why it took so long but it did. He wasnt about so I chilled out and got to know some of the people I would be spending the next few days with and started to hit up the cider with the guys. Kev showed up around 6 so we went and chucked my kit in the tent and headed off to the Glade stage just in time to catch the last 30 minutes or so of Foreign Beggars. Nice.
Then the evening for me really kicked with a killer set from Tricka Technology (Krafty Kutz and A Skillz with Dynamite MC) who played more ill shit than you can shake a stick at. The tent was boiling, the sound system pumping -it sounded amazing in there, I would have cut digits off to be left for a couple of hours mixing on there- and the particular madness that is their sound was rolling. A definate 10/10. Unfortunatly the lack of mobile signal here destroyed the chance of an interview with Krafty Kutz and A Skillz, cant be helped, but annoying none the less.
The following couple of hours were spent on the Liquid stage in the woods, here we got a bit of everything from sexy Techno/Electro to Breaks. Niquid smashed it and got me vibed up for the rest of the days rave. Next some chap called Tom Real rinsed the hell out of the Liquid soundsystem. The crowd were full on up for it by this point as the sun was going down and the woodland location smacked of illegal parties, I was very much at home here and continued to be so for a good long while… I must have raved to James D'Ley but time was flying and before I knew it my eyes were being stimulated with the visual delights of Electrixx 'Daft Punk' esq LED costumes. Liquid lived up to its strapline for certain "Set in the woods and open way past dawn, this is the place to see in the new day."
Then the proper night came and the booze started to twist me a little- the visual entertainment on offer was top draw, the pyramid in the centre of the arena was lit up by numerous projectors playing a multitude of colourful and at the same time strangely interesting patterns.. Just next to this was The Pyromid stage that was offering 3D sound. Mint. The evenly distributed grooves there kept on rolling well into the morning, very smooth House and Techno (as far as my memory serves me)
So by 3am I was starting to flag somewhat, a combination of tiredness from raving very hard, cider and several strong G&T's had rendered me eric wasted. I was just about ready for sleep when I went to one of the boutique coffee shops for a triple espresso, it gave me the second wind I needed to keep on dancing. Kevin and I then checked out the Meteor stage as the sun was coming up. I think it was Psy Trance but Im not sure. The key part was the soundsystem built into the floor, that was pretty nuts to be fair, my whole body vibrated, it was hard to see even as there was so much bass coming through the floor, mind you that could have been the mandy.
This part of the night is a little patchy though Im sure Ill remember when I look through the photos. Also it was around this point I seem to remember challanging Kev to a gin addled smash about on the dodgems. Last time I rode one I nearly bit my tongue off so it was nice to have a go and escape injury free, great times, where else can you drive about leagally that pissed up. Im really not sure…
The rest of the night was spent in a tent called Inspiral listening to a guy who I thought looked a fair bit like Riccardo Villalobos rinse out smooth Tech House grooves which was just what I needed to keep me on going.
By 8am the whole site had wound down to a standstill, I was pretty much the last person in the arena I think so I decided to call it a night.
Time for 3 hours of sleep…
Day one completed.
Hello Saturday.
So I got up around 11 and Slugraved, washed down with lashings of techno after. Bassment tent has been rocking out the coolest tunes all weekend long, Im very much a fan of this tent, the music policy and the people who came with it.
Then I moved on to ETA where I heard the best tune Ive heard in a very long time played- got to shazamm that one when I get home.. (Edit- it was Tim Green, Revox – Justin Martin remix. Old but great and summed up the vibe of the tent nicely) Smooth tech house grooves played back to back by pretty much the only guys in the festival using midi controllers. Most of the acts Ive seen so far have been very low tech, I think that its been a nice touch to get back to simplicity for a couple of days. Kevin has been a massive fan of the ETA tent and said thats its the most consistant tent in terms quality of tunes, always rocking.
I then spent a few hours in the press tent relaxing and chilling with a couple of friends from the Shire before heading up to the bar to meet Pook and Benny. Several ciders was consumed… We then all headed down to the Glade stage where we spent most of the day, Killa Flaw, Oliver Huntemann and Stephan Bodzin then took care of the early part of the evenings entertainment.
Oli began with some rolling Minimal Techno that bubbled and fizzed and slowly brought up the atmosphere ready for Stephan who kicked the minimal in the teeth and went for maximum techno this set rocked, Pook and I raved bloody hard for 4 hours in this simmering Techno cauldron..
Stephan had some cool looking wireless midi controller/fx type unit, I did go back stage to try to get a photo but I couldnt get a clear view. To my suprise I also found the main sound engineer fast asleep, its a hard life eh…
Then I met with Benny again and Farmer and proceeded to rave our way around the whole site by using Bennys, "two tune technique", Origin and Liquid amongst others were raved until we got back to the Bassment tent where I watched Ben and Lex play for a while before I came to my senses, to my suprise I was in the Rabbit Hole now by some act of festival god- I keep on getting little flashbacks from the night, like caining balloons and crawling through the tunnel coming to my senses wondering where I was and what just happened… There have been many moments like this and as they come to me Ill post them up here.
By 2 am I was well and truly knackered and falling asleep on my feet, so I put my head in through the door of Sven Vath for a short while and then left for the relitive saftey and comfort of the tent. I needed an hour or so of sleep, but this plan didnt happen. Kev did try to wake me up around 3am but it was a massive fail on my part. I was dead to the world and showed very few signs of life according to my fellow Brapper until 6am and then back to sleep until 12…
Day Three.
Sunday, eurgh, Sunday. So I woke up feeling a little less than refreshed due to the unspeakably high temperature in the tent this morning, but Im willing to bet that I was fresher than a great many of the other revelers on site. I got up had breakfast and headed onto the site to go flyering, stickering, snapping, filming and (futilely) trying to find people for interviews. Moblie signal had a really negative effect on co-ordinating people for interviews but never mind eh.
I spent a few hours then just getting round the site and spreading the Brap.Fm word by distributing flyers and stickers to likely looking victims. A short while later and more than half of the flyers were gone. As for stickering we got them everywhere. Numerous people I met over the weekend who asked what I was doing at the festival laughed when I told them I was Brap as the stickers had got everywhere from the extrmities of the festival to the very bowels of its deepest raves.
I was finally winding up for the day as I though I was working on Monday morning and beginning to get packed away and head home when I got an email from my work colleague saying to not come home- my boss who I presumed had a black hole where his heart should be had given me Monday off work, RESULT!! Out came the gin once again and off down to ETA and Bassment to check out the afternoon entertainment.
Several hours of milling about in the warm afternoon sun commenced as Kev and I chilled out and tried to hear as much music as possible. We then went and saw the Stanton Worriors who played their classic cut up Breakbeat and Big Beat thing. Other times that Ive seen them they have gone down the route of hip hop mashes interspersed with classic breaks and rocked out Big Beat. This time was a bit different though. The show had a really cool Old Skool House slash 90's ravey vibe to it. The crowd went wild for this set and was a really nice way to start building the evening up towards the festivals climax. It was pretty tight in the Glade stage by this point and people were knocking into one another a lot. I lost a pint to my trouser leg but just didnt care, the tunes were rolling and it still wasnt raining.
Finally we returned to Bassment in the late evening to see No Warning Shot show friends Millions like Us tear a new one out of Bassment with some frantic DnB interspersed with their unique Dubstep styles. Big shout out to the Harrington brothers, very enjoyable tunes.
By this time it was getting close to the climax of the festival so Kev and I got geared up with cameras and laptops and headed off to find a good spot to view the burning Pyromid and firework display. This wasnt before we had a quick ride on the big wheel to film the site from high above and swing the cabins to get a bit more life out of it all. Haha it was windy up on the top there and Kev seemed a lot more keen on the idea of fucking about on it. Maybe Im just rulesy when it comes to swinging about 50 feet up in the air with bugger all holding us in.
So the culmination of the festival was nearly upon us. Around 22.30 fire artists brandishing all different types of incenduary sticks, whips and ropes had surrounded the Pyromid and begun to do tricks and dance to the tunes that were still going on. Unfortunatly I have neither the piece of mind or the skills required to fully describe the visual feast of setting fire to a 30 foot high pyramid with fireworks so Im mainly going to leave this part of the story up to your eyes to decide for you. We must have been 70 metres away from that gigantic bonfire and you could feel the heat on your face even through the increasingly fridgid night time air.
Well thats about it now for 2012, as cliched as it sounds the entire weekend was EPIC. All I can say is roll on Glade Festival 2013. Ill be back for certain…. Rev
This week No Warning Shot features TWO mixes from ALDJs finest masher DJ Bomb. We were sent two mixes- but there was nothing to choose between them, so you get both! Good times. 2 hours of Love Bombs
This week No Warning Shot has guest mixes provided but show friend CmoreTrix and popping his No Warning Shot cherry is Rabid Gravy. 2 hours of all kinds of ill shit. Enjoy!
This week No Warning Shot is back with mixes from Beet Monster, guy_the_rev, Frosty and Jay Rouge. This is one show not to be missed for sure, all DJ's blew the roof off. 120 minutes of glorious Tech House and Techno rollers.
Just a quick little mix the the Beet Monster made back in the start of December thats been sat around on the FTP for a while without being published. 40 minutes of Tech House
No Warning Shot returns for the first show of 2012 with mixes from guy_the_rev and Jay Rouge fresh from killing it with their Tech House styles across the land over the festive period.

Ronald Wilson Reagan was the greatest patriotic president in my life time. He turned around a failing economy creating 17 million new jobs and inspired our nation like no other president has. He spoke with great love for our country and all it's citizens. I will never forget you, my Hero, God Bless this wonderful man, husband, father, and Great President.
In stark contrast Obama talks about what is most important to him, himself! In one speech he mentions himself 132 times, obviously that is his highest priority. Obama is the complete opposite of Reagan, watch for yourself.

Embraer has issued an assurance that regional jet production at its Chinese joint venture Harbin Embraer has not ceased, but concedes that delivery of ERJ-145s to Grand China Express may be extended beyond 2010.
While production of the ERJ-145 family has ceased in Brazil, assembly of aircraft continues in China at a slow pace - just six aircraft have been delivered from the line this year.
The Brazilian airframer says negotiations are under way concerning the pace at which Hainan Airlines' regional subsidiary Grand China Express will take the 40 ERJ-145s it has on order. Three ERJ-145s due to go to the carrier in the third quarter were not delivered "due to a reduction in the growth of its fleet, and new delivery dates and quantities", says Embraer.
At that point, the impact on Harbin Embraer - which produces the ERJ-145 - was not immediately clear. However, Embraer executive vice-president airline market Mauro Kern confirms that production at the Harbin Embraer facilities "has not ceased at all".
Kern says: "Grand China Express requested to slow down deliveries, to reduce the growth rate of the ERJ-145 fleet. The joint venture is in the process of negotiating a new delivery schedule with Grand China Express, which has not yet come to a final decision."
He says that while the ERJ-145 firm order - which covers 50 aircraft - is expected to remain unchanged, there could be "a possible extension of the delivery stream beyond 2010".
Ten ERJ-145s of the original 50-strong order have already been delivered, with 40 remaining. Kern reiterates that there is no change to the Embraer 190 delivery schedule for Grand China Express.

I wonder if Ainsley even tasted it? Sadly another case of a celebrity chef cashing in on his name - although I don't he'll be winning any new fans with this effort...

As a rule, I don't spend a lot of time writing about Major League Baseball. Why? Well, to put it simply, I prefer to remain at a safe distance from the game - that distance being metaphoric, not physical. Trust me, if I had the money, I'd be sitting atop the dugout at Shea - I mean Citi Field - every chance I got.
What I mean is this: when it comes to basketball, football, golf, tennis, etc., I have lost the ability to remain a loyal, diehard fan of a single team (well, except maybe the Knicks). I've come to enjoy the spectacle of the sport itself so much that I can't pledge allegiance to a single team anymore. This is by no means a bad thing; actually, it makes the viewing experience more enjoyable by taking away the utter despair of watching your team get crushed by a superior opponent.
But baseball is - and will always be - different. I love the Mets. And to assure myself that this fanship of the boys from Queens is never sullied, I stay away from talk radio and the commentary in the New York Post. Obsessive talk about salary cap, restricted and unrestricted free agents, who's unhappy with their production, etc. - it's the stuff that pushes me toward being a certified sports-junkie-journalist type and away from being a happy and ignorant fan.
That being said, I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel an unconquerable urge to speak my mind on the Alex Rodriguez - or, as I've taken to calling him, A-Roid - steroid scandal.
Am I surprised? Absolutely not. Am I upset? Not especially. Do I think what he did was wrong? Yes and no. Yes because he excelled at the game with the help of performance enhancing drugs. No because Major League Baseball, as an organization, to this day has not owned up to its Major League Involvement in the steroid era.

Soundbox / Strings together, now apart
During next week's Kfar Blum Music Festival, there will be concerts by popular quintets for piano and strings playing Schumann, Brahms and Dvorak. Among them will be musicians who will are performing together for the first time, as is customary at this festival. This will not be the case, however, for violinist Natasha Sher and violist Yuri Gandelsman. In fact, they have been playing together since she was a toddler, holding a miniature, palm-sized violin that her father, Gandelsman, bought for her. At the time the whole family played together: Gandelsman on the viola; his wife and Natasha's mother, Janna Gandelsman, on the piano; Natasha on the violin; and her younger brother Jonathan, who at first imitated her by using two pencils, one on his shoulder and the other as a "bow" - on second violin. In the past, the Gandelsman family quartet performed at Milan's Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory, at a concert that aroused much attention, as well as at the Yokahama Museum in Japan, and in Frankfurt and London. But when the children grew up, their musical paths diverged.
"We began to argue with our parents and then it ended," says Sher, who is today 35.
But now, at least, we can hear the father and the daughter - who are only 22 years apart in age - playing together.
Yuri Gandelsman is considered one of the leading violists on the international scene, and has had a rich career. Therefore, any visit of his to Israel is always interesting, and it brings back memories from the decade he spent here as a violist in the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Gandelsman was born in 1951 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. "It was a tremendous cosmopolitan cultural center, and as a child I played the violin like everyone else," he recalls.
Thereafter, he moved to Moscow with his family: His mother was an opera singer; his brother, Alexander Zhurbin, eventually became one of the most important composers in Russia and was accepted to the city's prestigious Gnessin Academy of Music. Gandelsman's path to the top was swift: He was principal violist of the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, playing recitals with the greatest names in Russia including pianist Sviatoslav Richter, and afterward principal violist and soloist in the Moscow Virtuosi chamber ensemble. He also received offers to be leading violist of the Chicago and New York Philharmonic Orchestras.
But, on a visit of the Virtuosi to Israel, Gandelsman fell in love with the country, and he and his wife decided to immigrate here. The Israel Philharmonic grabbed him, as did the Rubin Academy of Music in Tel Aviv, and thus, on a hot July day in 1990, the family arrived.
"It wasn't easy," Natasha Sher remembers today. "I was 17, not an ideal age for such a dramatic change. Our first apartment was in Bat Yam with friends - a tiny two-room apartment. Suddenly there was this new climate with all the heat, neighbors who played the stereo at full blast when they heard us practicing, plus the whole matriculation process we had to undergo at school in Hebrew, a language I didn't speak at all."
But she didn't give up, she made it: Six years later she had already landed a position as violinist in the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
"The work in the Philharmonic is demanding. It's hard to lead a private life when you're there: It's not a job for young women," says her father, Gandelsman. "It's very hard. Trips all over the world, recordings, endless concerts - and for me that was in addition to teaching at the academy, and my job as head of the chamber music department there, which included conducting the academy orchestra. I felt I had no private life."
And, in fact, in 2000, to the surprise of many, the principal violist of the Philharmonic resigned after playing there for 10 years: An offer from the distinguished American Fine Arts Quartet tempted him once again to switch jobs and countries.
"I thought to myself, why not? I had never played in a quartet before," he says.
So Gandelsman left his new home and traveled with his wife to the United States. His son, Jonathan, went with them as well, and is today one of the outstanding members of the alternative violin scene in New York: He plays in the Silk Road Ensemble, which crosses stylistic and other lines, together with varied artists, from Yo-Yo Ma to Bono, from James Levine to Mark Morris, playing and composing.
Natasha Sher remained in Israel; indeed, from the start she chose to study here, at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.
"I discovered that the great teacher of my own teacher in Moscow, Maya Glizarova, had come to teach in Jerusalem," says Sher. "In Russia they would take me to her once a year, and I used to tremble in fear and be unable to play a note. She was considered tough. One could hear a compliment from her after years, if ever. I wanted to study with her, and that's why I stayed behind."
Like her father, Sher left the Philharmonic and has now lead the second violin section of the Israel Camerata Orchestra Jerusalem for six years; she is also a member of the Erato string trio.
Gandelsman, as usual, did not remain in the same place for long; after a few years of playing in a quartet, he decided to devote himself to teaching: Last year he was appointed a full professor at Michigan State University, where he teaches students who come from all over the world.
His daughter chose to remain in the Jerusalem orchestra, in spite of the crisis in the Camerata that reached a climax about two years ago, when it was about to break up and no longer paid salaries. "I stayed because I believe in this orchestra, I believe in its path," she says.
In 2001 she got married. "He's a computer programmer, not a musician," Sher says of her partner, with what seems to be a spark of relief in her eyes; they have three children.
Asked if she is pushing them toward a career in music, she says. "I'm not enthusiastic about such a career, because I know how hard this life is: whether you're successful - and there's no home, and you live in airports and hotels - or you're unsuccessful, because what's worse than being a mediocre musician? And, in addition, it's hard for a musician to lead a family life; it's hard for the children when their mother isn't home in the evening."
At the same time, she guards her family heritage as a precious treasure: "Playing with your parents - there's nothing like it. Mainly because you don't have to explain things. The hardest thing in music is to explain in words: why to play a phrase a certain way, why the note has to sound like this and not like that. So when it's not necessary to talk - it's a wonderful feeling."

It has been recently revealed in a report that a presentation was made by the concerned citizens, in the form of a council meeting. This was done in order to discuss about the unrest among people about the mandating of the Hydro Smart Meter program.
The program is currently all prepared to hit the Comox Valley in the time to come. "Our world has become wireless over the last few decades, as well all know. In saying that, we the public have been able to decide for ourselves whether we wanted to use that system or not", said Trudy Thompson, one of the presenters.
The group is further of the view that the council could join other municipal parties that have already passed motion in approval of the installation of the Hydro wireless device.
It remains to be seen how things go from here and how many people approve for the installation of the same. There is need for more efforts to be made for effectively planning the best of the details for the city. This needs to be done while there is still time and people can trust the authorities.

Thank you Fred, I'm glad you like it. About the negative contrast. X-ray film I used did not produce much of a contrast in my Ansco 130 developer - I think it's inherently low contrast film. The cleared highlights resulted from my multi-layer coating approach. Now, from the letter it sounds like I did it on purpose. That could not be any further from the truth. This is my first set of cyanotypes, so the multi-coating was an honest mistake, I like the results, and maybe next time I'll do it on purpose .
The deal is, my 9 year old daughter did a first set of cyanotypes for her school project. I did not touch them, only supervised. She used Sullivan's formula, except she substituted potassium dichromate for ammonium dichromate. It produced beautiful deep blue prints. However, the coating had a few blue spots in it after drying. My initial theory was that the amount of dichromate was too much, so when I started this project, I reduced it by a third. I tried a first test print and amazingly the print was yellowish-brown like what you see in the highlights. The only issue was that it had rather low d-max. I tried adding couple more coatings from the same mix, which resulted some improvement in contrast, but still not enough. Out of desperation, I mixed the exact Sullivan formula and put another coat on the paper. And this is the result that you see. It is only one exposure, however very long. The yellow coating is slower than blue, so it causes some clipping in the highlights. I agree with you that doing some kind of registration and double exposure first with yellow coating and then with blue should produce much nicer dual-tone image. I'm only afraid it's quite a bit more than my current level of expertise.

Horned Frogs Add Burgess Friday Afternoon
May 23, 2014
FORT WORTH, Texas - The TCU equestrian program announced the addition of Emelie Burgess Friday afternoon.
"We are so excited to have Emelie joining us in the fall," said Hunt Seat head coach Logan Fiorentino. "She is a lovely rider who has been successful on the A-circuit as well as in the Interscholastic Equestrian Association high school format. Emelie's experience competing on a team should be an asset as she transitions to the NCAA format. Emelie is well rounded and I look forward to having her on the team next year."
Burgess comes to TCU from Wethersfield, Conn., where she was the 2011 Connecticut Hunter Jumper Association Junior Equitation Medal Champion. The 2012 CHJA End of Year Junior Equitation Champion, who placed seventh overall at the New England Finals Challenge of the States, also claimed a top-20 finish at the New England Equitation Finals.
An honors student at Mercy High School, Burgess will don the Purple and White next fall after being named the 2013 Leading IEA Hunt Seat Rider of the Year, while also garnering accolades such as the 2013 IEA Open Championship Rider and 2013 IEA Reserve Champion in Open Flat, repsecitvely.

I love the television, however, there was a crack in the upper left side of the screen. Since I didn't take it out of the box until after the courier had left I am sure there is nothing that can be done about it. Otherwise, I love the TV.

Just as I had hoped
By Gary
from Kansas City
The television itself is just as I had hoped. I was fairly familiar with the product prior to purchasing so I am not greatly surprised either positively or negatively. The picture quality is fantastic. The smart user interface is pretty intuitive. Overall - a very nice purchase for a wonderful price.The process of purchasing this tv from PC Richards was amazingly easy. I'm a first time shopper and was skeptical of purchasing something from a store so far away and the delivery going as planned. It was seamless. The freight company called two days prior to the delivery to arrange for a time. The television was brought to the door during the scheduled time. The product had been shipped in a way that resulted in it being in perfect shape upon arrival. Great job, PC Richards!

I'm almost there!
Just three days, three final exams, and a two-hour plane ride remain between me and my return to Texas. It's bittersweet however, because, as I've been trying to show all semester, life is pretty fun at CU. I'm definitely going to miss all of my fraternity brothers and other Boulder friends, but it will be nice to see my Texas friends as well. It'll also be nice to not have to worry about how many layers to wear, as the weather is much warmer back home.
Campus is getting into the holiday spirit too. My fraternity put Christmas lights and a tree up in and on our house, which is kind of ironic, because we're the Jewish social fraternity (Alpha Epsilon Pi), and we have more decorations than the Christian sorority (Alpha Delta Chi), which is right next door to us. When it snowed this past week, campus just looked so ready for the holidays. It almost seems like we should just skip finals and go straight to winter break. But of course, that wouldn't be good for our educations.
Stay tuned for Mike's Blog, part 6 in the spring! And enjoy this picture of my fraternity brother, Ari, showing off his holiday spirit in front of our tree.

"It's desperately hard to believe that in this country you can lose your home to private developers," New London homeowner Bill Von Winkle told The New York Times after the ruling. "It's basically corporate theft." But it's corporate theft that will enrich New London, so Von Winkle's home could become Pfizer's castle.
The libertarian-learning Institute of Justice, which represented Kelo, Von Winkle and their neighbors, held a press conference Wednesday to announce a new effort to fight back, as it champions the thousands of homeowners it believes are the targets of overreaching eminent domain. The campaign's name: Hands Off My Home.
Another victim of this government-run-amok trend, Denise Hoagland, who owns a home on the Jersey shore, told reporters: "Our homes are not blighted. This can happen to you." Institute for Justice spokesman John Kramer noted governments' appetite for seizing waterfront homes and figured their philosophy must be, "The poor don't deserve a view."
The Institute for Justice is well aware of the fact that both liberals and conservatives are appalled at the Kelo v. New London ruling. San Francisco Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi told me he was "fearful of" the ruling, as it may adversely affect "people who are not able to defend themselves." Meanwhile, Thomas' dissenting opinion addresses the inequities of a policy that falls hardest on "the least politically powerful'' -- that is, owners of lower-end homes.
Institute for Justice attorney Dana Berliner argued that New London could have had its development project and still accommodated the homeowners.
New London, she noted, "doesn't need these homes." But the New London Development Corp. didn't want these older homes in its tony project. So the homes must go.
On July 5, protesters will ask the New London City Council to spare the homes of Kelo, Dery and their co-litigants. New London should comply. Why? The New London Development Corp. wants to seize these homes for the worst reason of all: because it can.

Mizzou won its first ever SEC series this weekend at UGA.
April 8, 2013
The Extra Nine is a weekly blog by MUTigers.com correspondent Brandon Weiss
It was a historic week for Mizzou baseball, as the Tigers won their first-ever SEC series, 2-1, at the University of Georgia over the weekend. After falling to Illinois Tuesday in Busch Stadium 6-2, Mizzou took advantage of a 4-0 win on Friday, then dug themselves into a hole early on Saturday and Sunday. The comeback bid fell short in the second game of the series, as the Tigers fell 6-5, but the team was successful in the series finale as they erased a 5-0 deficit en route to an 8-5 win.
1 - Steele Does it All
Keaton Steele had his best weekend yet as a Missouri Tiger, hitting .535 in the three-game set against the Bulldogs while scoring three times and driving in three runs in Mizzou's series victory. His OPS on the weekend was an unbelievable 1.571. On the mound, Steele earned the win on Sunday by pitching 7.1 innings, striking out a career-high nine batters and allowing just four hits before retiring the final 15 batters he faced.
2 - Opel On Fire
Other than Steele, no Tiger is hotter right now than Dane Opel. The senior outfielder went 3-for-9 at the plate against Georgia with five walks, extending his on-base streak to 21 games. He drove in three runs in Sunday's contest, a three-run triple that proved to be the game-winning hit, and he scored five times in the series win. In the field, Opel pushed his outfield assist total to 10, leading the team.
3 - Zastryzny Untouchable
Rob Zastryzny has strung out quality start after quality start since SEC play began, and he notched a complete game shutout in the Friday contest against the Bulldogs, a 4-0 win for the Tigers. Zastryzny allowed seven hits while going the distance, fanning four and issuing no free passes.
4 - Homecoming for Kelly
The Roswell, Ga., native returned to his home state, and Dylan Kelly made the most of his trip. The catcher went 6-for-15 at the dish, driving in two runs and scoring twice in the series. He was responsible defensively for slowing an aggressive base-running team in Georgia, and he gunned down one out of four runners who tried to swipe a base against the Tigers.
5 - Tigers Bullpen Tough
Over the weekend, the Tigers out of the bullpen allowed only two earned runs and eight hits after relieving Brett Graves and Alec Rash early in the Saturday and Sunday contests. The pen accounted for 12 innings over the series' final two contests, and the group collectively fanned 14 batters. Steele registered nine of the strikeouts, while Jake Walsh claimed one victim and Breckin Williams sat down four Bulldogs.
6 - Slow Starts, Comeback Kids
The Tigers got off to uncharacteristically slow starts on Saturday and Sunday, facing 4-0 and 5-0 holes, respectively, in the weekend's final two games. Mizzou pushed back both games, though, as the Tigers scored four unanswered runs Saturday as the comeback bid fell short and eight straight runs in Sunday's win. The Tigers have scored the last run in each of their last four games, going back to the series against No. 2 LSU.
7 - SEC Standings Outlook
Now with four SEC series in the books, Mizzou finds itself at 4-8 in league play, good for fourth place in the East and tied with Ole Miss for 11th overall in the nation's premier baseball conference. Mizzou's remaining schedule is still strong, as the Tigers take on Vanderbilt (29-4, 11-1) and Kentucky (22-9, 6-6), both in last week's top 10, as well as Florida (15-18, 5-7), Texas A&M (20-13, 6-6) and Auburn (19-13, 3-9). The top 12 teams make the trip to Hoover, Ala., to take part in the postseason conference tournament.
8 - Injury Report
Mizzou has a clean bill of health heading into this week's action.

Editorial: SWFL gets in the swing
Professional golf
Southwest Florida likes to think of itself as the golfing capital of America. We think we boast the largest concentration of golf courses per capita anywhere in our country.
Southwest Florida gets to put that title to the test starting this weekend with the CME Group Titleholders tournament featuring some of the best players on the LPGA circuit.
That tournament, marking the first visit by the LPGA to our area in more than a decade, is hosted at TwinEagles in North Naples.
Soon after that, the Franklin Templeton Shootout will be hosted at Tiburon, also in North Naples, for the 12th time, Dec. 5-9. That event is hosted by all-time golfing great Greg Norman and gives the nation a good look at our area in peak season, as well as some entertaining, offseason professional competition.
Then, two months later, the ACE Group Classic will be played for the 26th time in Naples, back at TwinEagles.
Golfer Norman is spot on when he says of our area, "It's very golf-centric."
And golf is good for business.
Welcome and good luck to all the events.
Fans, here is your opportunity. Enjoy.
And many happy returns.

Timothy D. Searchinger says that recent science has challenged some of the assumptions underpinning many of the pro-biofuel policies that have often failed to consider the opportunity cost of using land to produce plants for biofuel. According to Searchinger if forests or grasses were grown instead of biofuels, that would pull carbon dioxide out of the air, storing it in tree trunks and soils and offsetting emissions more effectively than biofuels would do. What is more, as costs for wind and solar power have plummeted over the past decade, and the new report points out that for a given amount of land, solar panels are at least 50 times more efficient than biofuels at capturing the energy of sunlight in a useful form. "It's true that our first-generation biofuels have not lived up to their promise," says Jason Hill said. "We've found they do not offer the environmental benefits they were purported to have, and they have a substantial negative impact on the food system."

From firefighters to fiji-dancers, to clowns and a very-well behaved marching goat, the parade showcased and celebrated the North Fork Valley's diversity and communal spirit.

Information About ABC's
Like many children's songs, there are many variations to the classic "The ABC's". The song, which is taught to youngsters as a means of teaching the alphabet, features several different tag endings and connecting lines depending on what time period, culture or country where it is sung. As an example, in several English speaking countries, the last letter "Z" is pronounced "zed" to accommodate different rhyming schemes for the final line like "Sugar on your bread, eat it all up before you're dead".
Perhaps the version most often sung in the West is the one printed here. Traditionally, the tune of the song is the same used by Mozart for his piano variations, which is more commonly learned as the other children's classic "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star".
There are examples of alphabet songs used to teach young children in many non-English speaking cultures around the world as well. "Shiva Sutra" in Sanskrit, the Japanese "Iroha" and "Alif, Ba Ta Tsa" in Arabic speaking lands are notable examples.

MILVID, TEXAS. Milvid was on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway northwest of the junction of Farm Road 787 and State Highway 146 sixty miles northwest of Beaumont in northeastern Liberty County. The town's name was derived from the Miller-Vidor Lumber Company, which operated a sawmill there. Milvid was established as a lumber shipping station of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe line. The post office was organized in 1907. With a school, a commissary, a hotel, and assorted company offices and structures, Milvid grew to a population of 350 by the early 1920s. The depletion of the lumber supply in northern Liberty and southern San Jacinto counties led to Milvid's rapid decline. The post office was discontinued in 1925, and by the early 1940s the population had fallen to forty-one. A few foundations, broken tools, and rusted implements marked the site in 1986.

North Kitsap comes up short in Babe Ruth semis
POULSBO - North Kitsap manager Nick Milyard was a frustrated man after the game.
"We pretty much gave it to them," he said. "That one hurt. That's a team we should have beat."
North Kitsap committed several errors while failing to take advantage of scoring opportunities as they lost to the Seattle Bombers 8-5 in the semifinals of the Babe Ruth 13-year-old state tournament at Snider Park in Poulsbo Saturday.
North loaded the bases with no outs in the first inning but failed to score. Seattle broke through for three in the top of the third as Nick Walls, Casey Funk and Justin Murphy all had RBI singles.
North got on the board in their half of the third as they loaded the bases again with no outs. They then got a suicide squeeze, a fielder's choice and a balk to tie the game.
They took the lead in the fourth when Chase Bauer scored when Jarrod Felix reached on an error, but Seattle scored three in the fifth on two hits and three errors to take the lead for good.
North had its chances, but a double play ended a scoring opportunity in their half of the fifth. They loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth, but Kole Milyard lined out to center field.
Connor Green doubled and scored on a double by Christian Tom in the seventh. North Kitsap left 10 men on base for the game.
In the other semifinals, Ephrata beat Port Angeles 18-7 to advance to the championship game.
Seattle went on to beat Ephrata, 7-3 in the finale. Nick Walls Seattle was named the offensive MVP, while Michael Crowder of Ephrata was named defensive MVP.
Seattle 8, North Kitsap 5

Transformation of the Banjo
12:26 pm
Thu March 6, 2014
From Africa to Appalachia
By Allison Quantz
It's well documented that the American banjo has its origins in instruments brought to the colonies by enslaved Africans.
Virginia has a long history with the banjo, and it didn't start with bluegrass--it started with enslaved Africans.
As early as 1781, Thomas Jefferson took note of the stringed gourd instruments his slaves played. Over the years, the banjo was transformed from an African instrument, to a predominantly white instrument with the familiar bluegrass twang.

Factoids: Lehtonen is 6-0 in OT, 4 of those were shootouts.
The birds lost their first two games to all three NY teams this season. They evened up with the Rags last week, and I expect them to do the same with the Isles and Sabres.
Should be a great game. The Thrashers have made an incredible rebound from the beginning of the year when they, along with Pittsburgh and Washington were the jokes of the league. They also are a really fun team to watch so if the isles don't make the playoffs, I will be hoping you guys get in!

There are very few people that see what is on this mares side on the first look. And I know that it says no commenting, but everyone else is so I shall tell you and see if you can spot it. There is a witch riding a broomstick on her belly...facing her head and shoulders. Plus she has white eyelashes on her brown eye and black eyelashes on her blue eye (not really a marking but still neat)

With one Colton Gillies practice shot during Wednesday's morning skate, the Columbus Blue Jackets' goaltending situation went from perilously thin to almost comedic.Steve Mason, who has carried a heavy load in recent weeks with no proven NHL backup supporting him, was felled by a Gillies shot that left him with concussion symptoms only hours before a game against the Detroit Red Wings later that night.The Blue Jackets turned to rookie Allen York, who made his second NHL start, but that was the easy part. With no other goaltender under contract, the Jackets spent the next few hours scrambling to find a goalie they could sign to serve as York's backup, one who could make it to Columbus in advance of faceoff.Shawn Hunwick, who just finished his college career at the University of Michigan, signed an amateur tryout agreement with the Blue Jackets, then drove himself from Ann Arbor, Mich., to Columbus, about a three-hour trip."We had to get somebody in here by tonight, and he was availab...

Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 1/22/13
Tom Brady, Vince Wilfork, Wes Welker, and Logan Mankins have all pulled out of the Pro Bowl. The only members of the Patriots team who are still in the Pro Bowl are Jerod Mayo and Matthew Slater. Brady, Welker, Wilfork, and Mankins pulled out because of injuries. Brady was replaced by Andrew Luck. Welker and Mankins were replaced by Zane Beadles (Broncos) and Demaryius Thomas (Broncos). A lot of people are saying that the players' decision to drop out of the Pro Bowl is because the Patriots are "whiny losers" and "can't deal when they lose". Was the humiliation of last week's loss just too much for these players? Vince Wilfork ("Big Vince") I don't really think so...in my opinion, the players are probably just tired from this season. They've played some good football. All of the players who pulled out had reported injuries (but they still played in the games), so it's not like their reasons to drop out were lies. Losing might have sent them over the edge, but I like to thi...

Many young people around the world — especially the disadvantaged — are leaving school without the skills they need to thrive in society and find decent jobs.
As well as thwarting young people's hopes, these education failures are jeopardizing equitable economic growth and social cohesion, and preventing many countries from reaping the potential benefits of their growing youth populations.

The Battlecruiser was the largest combat vessel produced by the Hiigaran navy during the Vaygr War. The primary weapons of the Battlecruiser are Heavy Ion Cannon turrets, each one able to generate two long range beams capable of taking down a frigate with a single salvo long before the frigate could come close to its own weapons range. Additional armaments include Arbiter Kinetic Burst Cannons capable of taking down corvettes, and heavily damaging most Capital Ships. These cannons are mounted on the sides and the forward section of the Battlecruiser, allowing it to aim at several targets at a time.
Overview Edit
Because it lacks an anti-fighter armament, the ship itself cannot not withstand heavy bomber attacks and therefore is usually escorted by multiple anti-fighter units. Each Battlecruiser is capable of repairing strike craft in its hangar bay, allowing its escort to withstand heavier fighter attacks and recover from damage between skirmishes. Battlecruisers have two slots in which to install the following upgrade modules: the Fire Control Tower which can improve the targeting abilities of the weapons of the Battlecruiser and its escorts, the Hyperspace Module which allows the Battlecruiser and nearby ships to make tactical jumps during battle, the Hyperspace Inhibitor which blocks enemy reinforcements from jumping in too close, and the Cloak Generator which allows the Battlecruiser and nearby ships to cloak for a short time.
Hiigaran Battlecruisers are more flexible and defensible than their Vaygr counterparts. While the Vaygr battlecruiser must point itself at a target to engage it with its Trinity Cannon, the Hiigaran version can fire at targets from nearly any direction. Due to the forward nature of its armament, a Vaygr battlecruiser can be almost completely paralyzed by disabling its engine subsystem, as it can no longer aim its primary weapons. Conversely, a Hiigaran battlecruiser is much less vulnerable as all three of its subsystems must be disabled in order to cripple the vessel.
Even so, the Hiigaran Battlecruiser's positioning of the massive ion cannons (one in the dorsal and one in the ventral positions) mean that the combat effectiveness is reduced by half when attacking from above or below, as only one cannon is able to harm the target. As the Vaygr counterpart notably possesses essentially omnidirectional missile launchers, this gives an edge to a clever Vaygr commander by simply hyperspacing on top of a Hiigaran Battlecruiser.
Though the Hiigaran Battlecruiser is one of the largest combat ships the Hiigarans ever built, there were larger ships available to them, including Sajuuk's Wrath, a ship built around 6525 GSY, Tanis Station, the Progenitor Dreadnaught and the Shipyard
