How to Apply a Skin Traction
Skin traction is an alternative treatment some orthopedic doctors use for fractured bones or orthopedic abnormalities. Traction is a non-invasive method that features firm straps to pull the skin that lies on or near the affected bone into a fixed, rigid position. This forces the bone to stay in the corrective spot. The basics of how to apply a skin traction are the same, although the exact placement will depend largely on which bone you are trying to heal.
1Purchase a roll of special-traction strapping used for setting the bone.
2Clean the patient's limb thoroughly with soap and water before applying the strapping.
3Shave the patient's skin area where the straps will be applied. A single-edge razor should work well for this purpose.
4Attach a 3-inch (7.5 cm) wooden spreader to the middle of the strapping.
5Apply the strapping on either side of the patient's limb. The straps should be located at, but not above, the fracture line or you will not achieve traction. The wooden spreader should extend out from the patient's limb by approximately 6 inches (15 cm).
6Pad any bony areas near the strapping, such as an ankle, with cotton batting.
7Wrap a crepe bandage over the wound in a spiral pattern until it is completely covered.
8Elevate the limb, and attach a traction cord to the spreader. Run the cord through a pulley and attach a weight. The weight should not exceed 11 lbs. (4.99 kg). Let the weight hang from the patient's bed to begin traction.
Community Q&A
- You can substitute crepe wrapping with a roll of gauze wrap or zinc-oxide tape. Wrap the injury in left and right spirals. As a general rule, the spiral wrappings should cross over twice for optimal results.
- If special traction strapping is unavailable in your area, you can substitute with zinc-oxide strapping. Before the application of the straps, smear the skin area with a compound tincture of benzoin. Allow it to dry for a few moments, until it gets tacky, and then apply the zinc-oxide straps.
- Avoid wrapping crepe bandaging in circular patterns around the injured limb, since this can easily cut off circulation. This is caused when the wrapping is wound too tightly.
- Because this treatment permanently alters the patient's bone structure, applying skin traction should be done by a professional, preferably an orthopedic surgeon.
- As with any traction treatments, there are potentially serious side effects, including skin sensitivities or irritation, joint pain, and ischemia. Patients using this treatment must be monitored carefully for symptoms.
- Skin traction can easily cause blistering in older patients. Do not use this treatment option if your patient is more than 50 years of age.

The person confirmed the meeting to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
Martin was first interviewed by Wells for nearly seven hours Nov. 15 in New York. Wells then spent the week of Nov. 18 interviewing Dolphins players, coaches and staff in South Florida, and also met with suspended guard Richie Incognito.
Wells is expected to meet again with some Dolphins players before issuing a report. Martin alleges he was harassed daily by teammates, including Incognito, who has been suspended since Nov. 3.
Martin, a second-year pro from Stanford, has been with family in California undergoing counseling for emotional issues. Last week the Dolphins put him on the reserve/non-football illness list, ending his season.
When Martin abruptly left the team Oct. 28, the Dolphins had lost four consecutive games to fall to 3-4, and the scandal threatened to sink their season. But they're now 6-6 and in contention for an AFC wild-card berth going into Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.
Wells will determine the role of coach Joe Philbin, his staff and Dolphins management in the case, which inspired a national debate about workplace bullying.

After a rousing fireworks display Saturday evening, the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival finished up Sunday with boat races along the Ohio River levee, a car show along Second Street and music by Phil Dirt and the Dozers.
From her seat below the Williamstown Bridge on the Marietta side of the river Saturday, Tammy Evans of Randolph, 47, had an awesome view of the Harry J. Robinson Fireworks.
"Down here, you can just kind of feel the boom," said Evans.

Robb deCamp Special to the Times
Saturday night's fireworks light up the Ohio River and a packed levee area in Marietta.
Evans, who watched the 25-minute-long fireworks show with some 60 other friends and family members, has been to other fireworks displays near her home and in Green Bay, Wis. None rival the show she saw in Marietta last night.
"They were the best fireworks ever," Evans noted.
According to Jon Coppernoll, general director of this year's Sternwheel Festival, the 2012 fireworks were a tribute to the Beatles and Jimmy Buffett, reflected in the music played during the show and the palm tree fireworks that were part of the evening's sparklers.
Fact Box
Boat race winners
Race 1-Dianna Jean, Bob McIntosh.
Race 2-Genny B, Rick and Debbie Burden.
Race 3-Dresden Belle, Carl Deaton and Connie Hines.
Race 4-Katie H, Vince Hamill and Jan Ferber.
Race 5-Dixie, R.C. and Diane Heckert.
Race 6-Valley Gem, J.J. Sands and Don Sandford.

1st Runner Up: Mercedes Trescott, 18, of Marietta.
2nd Runner Up: Holly Emgee, 20, of Marietta.
Patty Carpenter, 62, of Marietta, enjoyed the palm tree fireworks from her spot in Williamstown. The house behind her was playing the fireworks music, which added to the mood, she noted.
"Instead of just going up and exploding, (the palm trees) came right down to us, like 3-Ds," Carpenter said.
Amanda VanDyke, 18, a Marietta College freshman from Washington Court House, said she didn't notice the tropical-themed fireworks. However, she did see the heart-shaped fireworks.
"They were the best fireworks I've seen, and there was cool music, too," VanDyke noted.
Robin Stemple of Washington, W.Va., said there are two events that she never misses at the Sternwheel Festival.
"It's the fireworks and sternwheel races," Stemple said. "The fireworks is a great event for the family and for our region."
Carol Williams, 46, of Charleston, W.Va., agreed.
"The fireworks were really nice, I loved them," said Williams, who has been coming to the Sternwheel Festival for 37 years.
"That's why I come every year," Williams added.
Williams had claimed space by the walkway in front of the festival's entertainment barge, so she and family members could see the boat races and hear the musicians.
"I get up at 4 a.m. to come (to this spot) at 5 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday," noted Williams.
Six rounds of sternwheel er races didn't disappoint the crowd along the riverbank, starting at the I-77 bridge, paddling beneath the Williamstown Bridge and hitting the finish line at the far end of the entertainment barge.
"It's the Dianna Jean by a boat length," announced Kathy Shively, river commentator, as the winner of the day's first race reached the finish line.
Shively encouraged race fans to head up to the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival Car Show on Second Street.
"Take a trip down memory lane," Shively said.
Fond memories of cars, trucks and bikes kicked into gear at the car show, organized by the Rollin' Oldies Car Club.
The car show featured tunes from the oversized Rollin' Oldies Jukebox, which played a variety of songs from yesteryear.
A shiny, sparkly '66 Ford Fairlane painted in a shade called "Orange Crush" was the car that Tom Insley, 65, of Marietta, entered in the show.
Insley has been participating in the festival's car show for 10 years. He also shows his '69 Mustang.
"I alternate back and forth between the two," said Insley.
"This is one of the best car shows around," Insley added. "There's so many cars and a big crowd."
Don Graham of Weirton, W.Va., 70, agreed.
"We have car shows where we live but they're not this big," noted Graham.
In other festival news, Coppernoll reported that Friday evening's "bucket pass" done in the area near the entertainment barge, raised $1,821.58 for the Steven Siller Tunnels to Towers Foundation.
According to Coppernoll, "An anonymous donor donated $178.42 to round it up to $2,000 even."

Hi, just wondered if anyone else is having a c-section after a difficult first birth. I had a 3rd degree tear/24 hour labour thing last time and have to decide what to do this time. Dr. will support me either way but said that it is hard to repair a 3rd degree tear if it is torn again.
If you have had a c-section already, how was your recover?

Sentimental Education
by Gustave Flaubert
Frederick Moreau Timeline and Summary
- Right off the bat, Frederick meets and falls in love with Madame Arnoux on a river boat. And there's the hook.
- Next up, he goes to Nogent to see his mother. (Bor-ing.)
- He visits Deslauriers, and together, they make plans for sharing a life together in Paris. It's going to be awesome.
- Our guy Returns to Paris. Look at that architecture! Oh, and where's Madame Arnoux?
- He finds law school boring and makes his way into Parisian society.
- The sneak that he is, he hangs out at L'Art Industriel and finally receives an invitation from the Arnouxes for dinner.
- Woe is Frederick: should he be a lawyer or a poet? (He decides to go with whatever impresses Marie Arnoux.)
- A few up and downs come around: he returns to provincial life, believes he will be poor forever but then lands a good-sized inheritance, and gets to know Louise.
- Eventually, he heads back to Paris and becomes part of the high society, getting himself invited to some pretty swanky parties.
- He gets to know Marie Arnoux, but she's not going along with his desires. Well, that's not going to stop him.
- To pass the time, he starts hanging out with Rosanette. She'll do for now.
- Then there's that duel with Cisy, which ends in some embarrassment on both sides.
- Frederick spends a dreamy Autumn hanging out with Madame Arnoux. Insert sappy violin music.
- He becomes Rosanette's lover and watches the revolution go by. What a combo: flailing detached limbs of rebels and hardcore romance.
- After Monsieur Dambreuse dies, he hooks up with Madame Dambreuse, but finds out she is even shallower than he thought. Is that possible?
- He becomes fiancé to Louise, lover—then fiancé—to Madame Dambreuse, and father to a courtesan's child. This guy has a lot of balls in the air, so to speak.
- Frederick severs all of his relations with Rosanette, Madame Dambreuse, Louise, and Deslauriers.
- Plans promptly collapse.
- Twenty years later, he's visited by Madame Arnoux in old age and basically rejects her. Ah, the horror of grey hair!
- In the last scene, he reminisces with Deslauriers, and they realize that they didn't really live life to the fullest.

My daughter's friend is having a boy and I'm going to make the Converse Booties (http://xalleykatx.livejournal.com/50196.html?mode=reply) and I was thinking that a little baseball type jacket/sweater would be adorable. I can't find a pattern and I'll wing it if I have to, but thought I'd ask. If it's a pattern in a book I can maybe get it from my library or buy it if it has other patterns I like. I don't mind paying for a pattern if necessary either. Thanks!

Bedroom Decor On A Budget: Spring Decorating Ideas
Want to brighten your bedroom for spring without spending a fortune? With a few easy touches, your bedroom will bloom without breaking the bank.
How To Decorate Your Bedroom For Spring: Colors, Themes & Space
Bringing a feeling of spring to your bedroom boils down to incorporating some basic aspects of the season. None of these need be expensive, and some won't cost you anything at all:
- Color: Introduce colors of the spring landscape such as the gentle greens of young, emerging plants, the pale pink, yellow or lavender petals of the season's first flowers and the clear soft blues of a spring morning sky.
- Themes: Include flowers, birds, butterflies, romance and other spring themes in your bedroom fabrics and accessories. If you've got winter themed pictures, decorations or bedding, you may want to store these items out of sight until next year. Check out these bedroom themes for more inspiration:
- Space:One of the most striking things about spring (in addition to the much needed warmth) is a sense of airiness and open space after being cooped up inside during the long winter months. Clearing away any unnecessary clutter and rearranging your furniture to create a more open floor plan will help achieve this effect without spending a penny. As temperatures warm, simply opening your windows to bring in some fresh, fragrant air enhances your light, spring atmosphere.
Budget Bedroom Window Treatment Ideas
Spring is all about the bright, inviting outdoors, and your windows are literally the gateway to the reawakened landscape. Create an inexpensive, airy spring look for your windows with:
- Homemade or inexpensive sheer or semi-sheer curtains: Light, sheer fabrics dance almost weightlessly on spring breezes.
- Bright spring toppers and valances: Make your own from colorful fabrics you've already got at home including scarves, shawls or even cloth napkins.
- If you do want to try and make your own window treatments, see No Sew Window Treatment Ideas.
Any dark, heavy drapery you've got on your windows can really drag down your spring design. Consider putting winter window treatments away until next year. If you really need your thick window covers for privacy or to create darkness for sleeping, be sure to at least pull drapes fully open during the day to keep the room feeling as bright and spacious as possible.
Spring Bed Décor
Changing the look of your bed dramatically changes the look of your bedroom in just a few minutes, and you've got lots of affordable options for giving your bed a spring face-lift:
- Spring themed or colored bedding: Lots of beautiful and affordable, quality bedding is available at outlet stores, shopping clubs and white sales.
- Throws: If a whole new bedding set isn't in your budget, consider using a colorful, inexpensive spring throw as a bedspread.
- Throw pillows and neck rolls: These little accents add fresh pops of color and texture to your bed.
- Bed skirts: Try a crisp, pale, solid cotton skirt or one made from white eyelet cotton and ruffles. You can even make your own bed skirt from any large enough rectangular piece of fabric.
- To learn more about the various types of bedding, see The Complete Guide To Bedding.
- Headboards: Brighten your existing headboard by painting or refinishing it. If you need a new headboard, try making your own from recycled household items such as pillows, an old door, used window frames, a garden trellis, fencing, folding screens, quilts, tapestries, framed photos or even old flooring. For more DIY headboard ideas, see Creative DIY Headboard Ideas.
- Canopies and other covers: A sheer white or pastel canopy, bed tent or bed curtain lends a fresh, romantic spring feel to your bed. Many of these are very affordable and surprisingly easy to put up.
Spring Wall Décor Ideas For The Bedroom
Your bedroom walls can fit right into your spring design with these easy ideas:
- Add a fresh coat of paint in spring colors like pale pink, yellow, blue or green.
- Replace existing artwork with spring-themed prints, wall hangings and paintings. Take your own photos of your garden or favorite park, print them out and hang them up to save on the cost of expensive art work.
- Brighten the frames on existing wall art by either painting or refinishing the wood in lighter finishes and spring colors. If you see frames at thrift stores or flea markets whose style you like, but not the color, simply paint the frame the color you want it, and you've instantly created a custom frame for less.
Ceilings and Floors
Don't forget the top and bottom of your bedroom during your spring makeover. Here are a few ways to get your floor and ceiling into the spring spirit:
- Throw down some bright or light area rugs.
- Refinish a dark wood floor in a lighter tone.
- Add a breezy ceiling fan.
- Create your own blue-sky fresco on the ceiling, complete with white fluffy clouds and bird silhouettes.
Bedroom Furniture
You don't need to spend a fortune on a whole new spring bedroom set. Lighten up existing furniture by:
- Painting it a fresh spring shade
- Stripping dark wood stains and replacing them with a natural or lighter finish
- Applying stencils or wallpaper for bright accents
- Installing fresh, new cabinet and drawer pulls.
Little Touches that Bring Big Spring Changes
A few inexpensive accents and accessories will really tie your spring bedroom design together. Here are a few easy ideas for bedroom accessories that may work for you:
- A vase or white china bowl filled with fresh flowers
- A pretty green plant
- Pastel, pale or floral lamp shades
- Spring themed lamp shade liners
- A brightly colored organizer tray for your nightstand
- A vase of branches with decorative faux birds and eggs
- Bright throws to cover your seating
- Colorful scarves and shawls for pillow accents, dresser/nightstand toppers or across the foot of the bed
- Ribbon to create spring trims
- Pretty spring outlet covers and switch plates.
Springtime Bedroom Scents
Enhance the spring atmosphere of your bedroom inexpensively by adding some fresh scents. Try essential oils, scented candles or potpourri. You can even perfume your sheets. Some great spring scents include:
- Floral fragrances such as hyacinth and lilac
- Fruits including citrus and berries
- Fresh mint fragrances.
Open the windows, let the clean, sunny breeze drift in and enjoy your fresh, spring retreat without spending a fortune.

A jury reached a verdict Saturday in the murder trial of James Cobb Hutto.
Deliberations began about 1:30 p.m., and the jury returned a guilty of capital murder verdict before 4 p.m.
Hutto was charged with the 2010 slaying of Ethel Winstead Simpson, 81, of Clinton.
Officials said Hutto had last been seen with Simpson. Hutto was missing for several days before the Simpson's body was found at a hog farm near Edwards.
The jury for the trial was chosen in Oxford because attorneys feared intense media coverage would make it difficult to seat a jury in Hinds County.

The Highlanders let the game slip from their reach in the second half as the Bears came out strong stealing the ball 12 times against the MacMurray in the contest. MacMurray's turnovers and lack of rebounding lead to Washington University's comfortable lead in the second half of 17 points. Mac ended the game with just 16 rebounds against 38 for Washington.
Sophomore Clayton Whitlock led the Highlander offense with 14 points in the contest while sophomore Spencer Pratt tallied 12 points. Senior Luke Bishop helped with five assists.

ASEAN Pipeline Dream Falls Flat
ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asean Nations) has an energy cooperation plan, with its first phase running from 2010-15 to build gas pipelines (Trans-Asean Gas Pipeline) (TAGP) and power grids connecting member countries for the purpose of trade as well as enhancing energy security.
In addition, an ASEAN official that wished to remain anonymous told Energy Tribune that plans are in the works to have a single LNG system for all ASEAN member states (Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam). While he would not elaborate on the details because talks are in its initial stages, he did say that national oil companies would be involved.
All of this sounds promising however does it have any real merit? ASEAN has been known to make bold proclamations before but be weak in implementation. Critics claim that differing national interests stymie the organization. A case in point is its meetings in July over the recent standoff in the South China Sea between China and the Philippines and Vietnam. Many in the region lamented ASEAN's failure to restore a consensus on the dispute. In fact, the fall-out prompted US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to appeal to the group to make a united stand on the issue.
Notwithstanding, ASEAN dreams of a strong union that can hopefully stand up to China's boldness in the region, but one that can also be an international economic player in the decades to come, an alternative power center on the world stage. Make no mistake, ASEAN has potential. As of 2011, the combined population of the group numbered nearly 600 million and if listed as a single entity, it would rank as the ninth largest economy in the world, behind the United States, China, Japan, Germany, France, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and Italy. In 2010, its combined nominal GDP had grown to $1.8 trillion.
Plan of action
The ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2010-2015, is designed to ensure a secure and reliable energy supply for the region through collaborative partnerships and focuses on several main program areas: ASEAN Power Grid (AGP), TAGP, the promotion of cleaner coal use, energy efficiency and conservation, and renewable energy (including biofuels), regional energy policy and planning, and civilian nuclear energy as an option, to support and sustain economic and industrial activities.
The TGAP is a massive project that would connect South East Asia in one of the largest networks of its type in the world. Linking the gas reserves of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Myanmar, Philippines, Brunei and Thailand, the project has the backing of the oil and gas majors in each of these countries and was originally projected to be in full operation by 2020.
Unfinished pipeline
Despite ASEAN's inability to present a united front against China, perhaps its biggest breakdown is the unfinished TAGP. At the time of its conception it was heralded as a maverick idea, however as a decade plus has evolved, it remains just over half finished and many think the idea is either obsolete, too expensive to finish or worse yet — that member nations don't have the political fortitude to complete it.
Busba Wongnapapisan, head of renewable energy for the World Economic Forum urged ASEAN countries to speed up construction of gas pipelines and power grids to enhance security of supply. Speaking at a conference in Bangkok on May 29 she said that greater collaboration is needed as 40-50 percent of the region relies on oil imports.
Currently, there are pipelines between Myanmar and Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and Indonesia and Singapore, but they are not connected regionally to allow gas rich countries to export to poorer ones. The pipeline linking Myanmar and Thailand is still only one-way, but Thailand should be able to send back some gas if there is an oversupply, according to Wongnapapisan.
The network already has 10 cross-border gas pipelines costing $14.2 billion, traverses 3952 kilometers and transports 3,095 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of gas, but there are at least six other projects that remain to be completed.
Wongnapapisan added that one of the biggest problems in implementing the plan is one of integration between ASEAN countries. "Different countries have different regulations. How can ASEAN countries harmonize their regulations, as it makes private companies reluctant to invest? They are waiting for a clear policy," she said.
Various oil major executives have also called for the TGAP to be completed, including Royal Dutch Shell CFO Simon Henry, which said in June that the TAGP and regional power network should be upgraded, and clear guidelines for regional cooperation set.
Beni Suryadi, an ASEAN energy policy analyst, said that the major pipeline to the ASEAN region has yet to be developed because of pending commercial issues. In fact, he said that its commercialization becomes even more crucial for the region since it is projected that there will be a widening supply gap as early as 2015 rising to more than 12 billion standard cubic feet per day (BSCFD) by 2025. According to Suryadi, this shortfall reflects declining gas reserves causing gas supply to plateau and then starts to decline while at the same time demand continues to rise strongly.
He makes a good point. ASEAN member states Indonesia and Malaysia have ageing gas fields and are also struggling to meet their own domestic gas needs as well.
In 2009 Indonesia exported approximately half of its natural gas but the share of domestic consumption is expected to increase. Last year they failed to meet oil and gas production targets.
Though Malaysia is still a gas exporter, the situation there is also changing. The country shifted its focus in 2010, divesting its assets in Pakistan, Ethiopia, Timor Leste, and a stake in Cairn India, and has prioritized domestic investments.
And in December of the same year, Petronas [Malaysia's national oil company] signed a deal to build the country"s first LNG import terminal, in the south-western state of Malacca. The terminal is designed to meet an impending shortfall of gas in Peninsular Malaysia as demand growth in the densely-populated region outstrips local supply, according to Malaysia Oil and Gas Report Q2 2012.
Who will build it?
In the 1989 blockbuster movie, "Field of Dreams," star Kevin Costner hears a voice "if you build it, he will come," which is prompting him to build a baseball diamond in his Iowa corn field so ball players from the past can come and play – a quantum leap of faith. Conversely many energy experts claim that the pipeline will not be built until more gas is found, so no leaps of faith for ASEAN.
Speaking by phone, Wood Mackenzie analyst Graham Tyler said that the biggest problem in developing the TAGP is finding proven gas supplies. He said that in the past the pipeline was built where excess supply had been close to market demand.
"We have also seen some joint development of overlapping claim areas, but these basins are now more mature and reserve replacement is not keeping up. Therefore all the markets in the region are looking to LNG," he said.
He added "who will build it [the pipeline] until supply is proven?"
He also makes a valid point. There is disagreement over the amount of gas that can actually be tapped in the region. Four major surveys found no common ground on estimated reserves, typically putting projected gas supplies at double or triple the estimates of the others.
Tyler added that price reform would help. By price reform, he is referring to the fact that many ASEAN countries subsidize the price of natural gas thereby making companies reluctant to invest there. They don't raise the end-user price of gas to a level sufficient enough to guarantee a profit for the companies that search for and then have to pay large sums to develop gas reserves.
IHS analyst Mark Hutchinson has a different take. "Proven reserves are generally there but above ground issues (regulations, politics, pricing etc) hinder development," Hutchinson said, also by phone. He said that Indonesia changes regulations a lot and Vietnam doesn't pay enough to make it attractive to invest. He added that Thailand and Malaysia have done a good job at balancing stakeholder interests but not Indonesia and Vietnam.
Another problem for the TAGP is logistical. "Load centers in Southeast Asia are too small and distances too large to justify spending significant sums of money building pipelines when shipping can be cheaper," Hutchinson said.
"So, why bring gas through a pipeline?" he asked.
Other experts claim that development of the TAGP, which crosses national boundaries, will take time given the significant investment, environmental, social and political consideration as governments navigate cross-border frameworks, contractual and obligations.
Therefore, at this point it appears that completion of the TGAP remains a pipe dream. How ASEAN handles a new LNG scheme remains to be seen, hopefully that project, if implemented at all, will come to fruition.

Product Description
Discreetly fork over bribes to the powers that be--at least if they're handing out lucrative construction contracts. If your bribes are generous enough, your firm will get good contracts and its bottom line will swell. If your competitors' lucre shines brighter, though, you've lost opportunities, profits, and the satisfaction of knowing that some bureaucrat's Carribean tour on your dime was at least good for something. Designed by Bruno Faidutti (the mind behind Knightmare Chess), Corruption is a card game that combines the crafty deception of poker with the crooked milieu of the Gilded Age.

One of my favourite short games, for 3-7 players. The rules are short and very clearly written, however it is difficult to distinguish between the player cards that are played face down. They are all a pastel shade of similar colours. If you have poor eyesight leave this one alone.
I love card games, I've played a lot. Here you play the Godfather of gangsters in a quick and simple game with plenty of bluffing, strategy, and pure luck. It's a must own and definitely fun for two or more players. The game design is straight forward and easy to pick up. Check out Titan: Arena, Grand Master, and Pestilence also, some of my other favorites. -JDM
This is a nice little filler that requires some thinking. The mechanics are simple, the rules are easy to learn but there is just a truckload of difficult choices to make.
The cards are also very easy on the eye, as well as all nicely art deco themed.
I was not impressed with a bluff aspect of the game from the description, but it is more of a thinking game than a bluffing game. Good with a few people, with very little downtime. A game that will get a few plays.
The game theme of this game is quite interesting: you need to purchase some building by using corruption strategy. Each player have the same set of cards, but when a player plays an action card, it is discarded at the end of the turn, so if he uses all the action cards at the first three turns, he still have six cards to use at the last turn.
Play mechanism using bidding system, who bids the highest for a building gets the building. If tiles in the bidding, no one gets the building. Moreover, there is a place called bank. Cards putting there is not affected by action card, but it need to half the value of the card, so you need to decide whether to put your card into bank or not.
The game plays in four rounds. Each round players need to reveal some cards, and the others are put face-down until all players place their cards.
Some strategy is needed in this game, and it is not hard to leard this game. If you play this game for lots of times, you can change some rules of this game.
No one knows what you put out, so you don't know whether they put an action card or not until the end of a round.
Bribery. Assassination. Theft. What an exciting way to spend your playing time! Your goal is to get the greatest dollar amount in contracts for your construction firm. Six new contracts belonging to three government bodies are on sale in each of four rounds. In the bidding phase, players take turns placing bribes on the contracts or government cards. They may also place an attorney (deferring a contract until next round), a reporter (removing one bribe), or a hit man (removing a person) on a contract. When everyone has played six cards, all cards are turned faceup and situations resolved. A government bribe is applied at half face value to one of its contracts. Each contract is won by the most generous palm-greaser. Bribe money cards are retrieved for use in subsequent rounds. Hey, it's only a game... isn't it?
In 1992 Doris and Frank published a little game called Banana Republic. In it players used bribe cards to try and win votes in some Latin American election. The money cards came in two types: the local currency and US dollars. (The designer was seemingly under the impression that the American Government is in the habit of interfering in the political affairs of its near neighbours. Damn sauce! I am surprised they didn't sue.). The dollar bribes tended to be worth more but were vulnerable to the disclosures of local investigative journalists. Further spicing the pack were hit men and bodyguards. The game was much liked by many, including Mike Siggins who gave it a very favourable review in Sumo (issue 10/11). Others, and these included my group, thought it quite entertaining but a bit too lacking in substance to be able to hold our attention for long. A couple of plays was all it ever got with us. Bruno Faidutti would seem to have felt the same, for what he has done here is take the same general idea and some of the same mechanics -- an act duly and properly acknowledged in the game credits -- and design a game with a bit more weight. The scenario has also been changed. This time the players are building firms trying to secure lucrative contracts by lining the pockets of local officials. The game is dedicated to Jean Tiberi, the mayor of Paris.
Each player has a set of ten cards consisting of six bribes, a district attorney, two journalists and a hit man. The bribes recycle, the characters are `one use' and the game is played over four rounds.
There are three sets of officials -- City Hall, the County Seat and the Capitol -- and each has two new contracts to allocate each turn. The contracts vary in value from 100,000 up to 1,200,000. Players take it in turns to assign cards to contracts. Some of the cards will be played face up, others face down -- rather in the fashion of a game of Poker. In later rounds the proportion played face up increases, neatly simulating the fact that the further you get your snout into this sort of trough, the easier it becomes to find out what level of bribes your rivals are offering. Character cards are always played on to specific contracts; bribe cards can be played either on to a specific contract or into the department's Swiss bank account. The advantage of the latter is that the money is safe from the prying eyes of journalists and can be assigned to either of the department's contracts at a late stage in the proceedings; the disadvantage is that the associated costs are higher and so the bribe's real value is only half its nominal value.
When each player has played six cards, all the cards are turned over and you work out who has got what. First, money in Swiss accounts is allocated to specific contracts. Then hit men do their job, killing one of the other characters allocated to the contract. Next come the district attorneys who, horrified at what they see, cancel the contract to which they have been assigned. Finally, you have the journalists who each blow the whistle on a bribe and thereby nullify it. All that done, you add up the numbers and the person who has paid most gets the contract. Any cancelled contracts carry over to the next round.
The game is still a light one. Coming from Bruno you wouldn't expect anything else, since he prefers games that are light and fun to those that are heavy and serious. There is no point in designing a game that you aren't going to enjoy playing yourself! However, though still light, the game achieves its aim of being a more substantial, and in my view a better, game than the one that inspired it. The sort of things that made Banana Republic entertaining are still there, but there are more tactical options, you are less reliant on guesswork and the scoring system is more finely graded. I am not keen on games where the victory points come in a few large lumps and that was rather the case in Banana Republic. Corruption is much better in this regard, with 24 contracts to be assigned as opposed to 7 in the earlier game. The game is also well suited to variants. There are some suggested in the rules and you could also devise your own, for example increasing the role of the journalists and hit men by making them `double use' rather than single.

From Leechburg head north on Rt. 66. You will make a right onto Crooked Creek Dam rd. From Ford City head south on Rt. 66 just past the crooked Creek market, you will make a left onto Crooked Creek Dam rd. Once on that road you will make a right at Park Main rd. At the stop sign you will continue straight ahead. Just up ahead you will see a sign for Fisherman's Trail off to your right. Park there and start walking down the trail. You will eventually come to a wooden bridge. Cross over this bridge. (Note: If you like to fish, you may want to continue straight on this path, it will lead you to a nice little fishing hole). After you cross the bridge you will want to follow the path to your right. Take this trail the whole way to the top of the hill, until you come to a clearing. You will be able to see a restroom and a parking lot straight ahead of you in the distance. Before you reach the clearing you will see a large hollowed out stump in the woods off to the right about 8 feet away from the trail. What you are looking for is behind this stump, at the base, covered with rocks. Please rehide carefully and make sure it is covered up good. Retrace your footsteps to get back to the car. Keep your eyes peeled for some local wildlife. While hiding this letterbox we encountered several chipmunks, a deer and a racoon. Hope you enjoy!

Chris Bayly. RIP 1945-2015
I've been reading his Bazaar book this last few weeks (its long, and its in a library I where I have reading but not borrowing rights). It is very much on topic for my research in Serampore, even if I am not a huge fan of his history style, its certainly way better than the sort of Brit historian you see on the telly (on a spectrum where Bayly is closer to Hobsbawn while Niall Fergusan is closer to Portillo).
Bayly's books include; *The Local Roots of Indian Politics. Allahabad 1880-1920 (1975)
*Rulers, Townsmen and Bazaars. North Indian Society in the Age of British Expansion, 1780-1870 (1983)

16/03/04 Latest Installations
GERMANY - Furnace rebuild in 21 days ?
One of the BSN Glasspack factories in Germany is located in the northern town of Rinteln. The existing furnace C has recently been replaced by a completely new furnace D.
Furnace C, a Unit Melter with a steel recuperator, was due for major repair in 2003, and the decision was taken to replace it with a more efficient regenerative furnace design. However, the change from recuperative to regenerative systems required significant changes to buildings and infrastructure. This would normally lead to a very long down-time.
The solution was to build the new furnace adjacent to the existing one, which was able to maintain production during the installation phase. When everything was ready furnace C was stopped and D commissioned, so that the change over only resulted in about 21 days loss of production.
The new furnace is a 82 m² SORG end-fired unit with Deep Refiner®. It is designed to produce up to 250 t/24 h of all traditional colours.

The leader of the left in Italy has made an alliance with the Economist magazine supported "free market" "techocratic" Prime Minster Mario Monti.
Anyone who is surprised by this really should not be. Remember that, by establishment logic, "free market" means tax increasing (increasing existing taxes and imposing new taxes) in order to "invest" in government education and so on.
And "technocratic" means "imposed by a de facto coup organised by the European Union". And supported by the "international community" (and academics) of course.
"But Paul why should the Economist magazine support all this…."
Oh my dears – you really have not been paying attention to my enraged rants over the years.
I am not actually angry anymore. Things are out in the open now – with the "free market" establishment openly in bed with "ex" Communists (in the United States, Italy…….) and openly standing for the expansion of the state on both a national and an international (world "governance") basis.
The mask is removed – there is no real deception to be angry about anymore.

For Managers: Pink-Slip Etiquette
The job market might be showing some signs of growth, but layoffs are still a major concern for employees – and employers. U.S. companies announced plans to lay off 37,551 employees in June and another 36,855 in July. In the first seven months of the year, firms announced 319,946 job cuts, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.
It's not just rank-and-file workers who feel fallout from a downsizing. Managers handing out the pink slips face a difficult task of balancing financial considerations and personal relationships. (Not everyone can hire George Clooney to deliver the bad news.)
Here are a few tips:
Plan ahead. Practice your spiel on a friend or colleague (one with a secure job), outplacement experts say, so you can remain calm, cool and collected in the face of tough questions or an outraged staffer. Prepare a folder for each affected employee with information about severance terms, outplacement services and contacts at benefits providers.
Keep it short. Robert Morlot, senior vice president and managing director at outplacement firm Lee Hecht Harrison LLC, recommends limiting meetings to just five or 10 minutes. "They're probably not listening to you, anyway," after you deliver the first piece of bad news, and now's not the time to fight over a severance package, bring up past performance shortfalls or assess blame on the top bosses.
Get emotional – but not too emotional. A good manager should have forged personal relationships with staffers, Morlot says, and "to ignore that would be odd." It's absolutely acceptable for managers to express regret or sadness and show some compassion, but any prolonged discussion of feelings should focus on the employee. That means no whining over how tough a decision this was or crying about how much you'll miss the person you just got rid of. Because guess what? They almost certainly feel even worse.
Explain why it's happening. Layoffs are generally a financial consideration, and managers should say so. No need for a PowerPoint showing P&L statements and other mathematical minutiae, but general information about the size of a budget shortfall may be helpful. Sue Allon, who doled out more than 300 layoff notices in May after her mortgage due-diligence company, Allonhill LLC, lost a major client, says constant communication with her staff helped make the final layoff process a little less painful for all involved, as staffers understand it really wasn't personal.
Reassure the rest. Give your remaining employees a pep talk, informing them about what happened and reassuring them that cuts are done (for now, at least). You may need to "re-recruit" them to the company mission, Morlot warns, as they'll likely remain wary of your intentions – and the company's loyalty – for a while to come. Small team meetings and brainstorming sessions about future projects should help get them back on track quickly.
Don't be a jerk. In the age of Twitter, Facebook and websites devoted to employee rants, you can't afford to have your reputation, or the reputation of your company, tarnished by mistreating employees when they're most vulnerable.

Officials: Leicester fire not suspicious
Fire difficult to put out because of weather
Published 10:21 PM EST Jan 03, 2013
A fire that destroyed a home Thursday is not considered suspicious.
Investigators said the fire started in the kitchen of the lakeside home. The flames quickly spread to the second floor.
Crews said the fire was hard to put out because of the cold weather.
"We rotate the crews out as frequently as we can so hypothermia and things like that don't become an issue," said Chief Roman Wdowiak of the Brandon Fire Dept.
The owners of the house were not home.

Federal court records say a man has been charged with failing to register as a sex offender after moving from Mississippi to Ohio.
A complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Greenville, Miss., said James Artis Gilmore was convicted in 1982 on charges of rape, kidnapping and armed robbery in Tate County, Miss.
The filing said he had been living in Desoto County, Miss., before moving earlier this year to Toledo, Ohio. He was arrested in Ohio on Dec. 5.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It!
Before I forget I have to say thank you to Al from the Butcher Shop. Yesterday he brought up and prepared the best sauteed shrimp ever. I have eaten shrimp prepared in other ways. Not as many as Forrest and Bubba talk about, but a few. The very best for me Roger Scott and my newly fine tuned body is the sauteed way from the Butcher Shop. Yes B-Tine from sales helped him in the later stages. Thank you Al. Now as far as our buddy Mike of Krazy Mikes he was a big tease. He was supposed to bring us wings today but the weather....no wait he is also B-Tines account. That explains the no-show.. Thank goodness Andrea, trainer to the stars, brought up some pumpkin cookies and David was able to get to some vending machine chips. Tommy couldn't eat anyway because he had a medical procedure. Not sure what it is exactly Tommy is having done but he did want me to take all his pants to a seamstress and have the inseam 'let out'.
In the words of Sheriff Buford T. Justice...."What is the world coming to Junior"? Anytime I can search for and provide some Sheriff Justice video it will be done. You're welcome. The skies opened up and the snow just stared coming down and the entire city went into a panic. I admitted in this column in the past I am now a pud when it comes to the wintry weather. I was commissioned by Tommy to drive him to the hospital and then take him home. As it turns out when I dropped off Tommys pants his wife called and said she had him covered. I started on my way and after pulling over and crying I got back on the road and made it home. But not before I stopped and picked up an Arkansas Times, pack of smokes, and a comb.
We had a Miss America Vanessa Williams on the show this morning. We don't have the audio cause Danny-Joe was busy with the school closings and keeping up with his son Austin. DJC hates snow days. Anywho, I have a little Vanessa for you. Man I love me some Vanessa Williams. Maybe it's the movies she has been in, her music, or yea it could be the spread she had in Penthouse. Whatever the reason you can't deny her talent. I wonder if she has any college eligibility left? No not that kind of talent. I have that edition of Penthouse. I'm gonna go look for it now. Where's my new comb?
Have a safe weekend ya hear!
Thanks for listening and making The Buzz 103.7 your #1 station. Join The Show With No Name from 6a-10a Mon-Fri with Tommy Smith, David Bazzel, Danny-Joe Crofford and myself.

Is this the new Tiger Woods? Toddler golfer stuns world
- From: news.com.au
- January 28, 2013
THIS cheeky toddler, who is making almost as many hits as his YouTube video, could be the next big thing in the golf world.
Jennifer Dhanjal said her son Rushton had been obsessed with golf "since before he could walk".
In this two-and-half-minute video Ms Dhanjal posted today, her son is seen running around an empty room as his parents roll an endless supply of toy golf balls his way.
Rushton, whose nickname is Peanut, squeals with delight as he connects with every ball, hitting them hard into walls and occasionally hitting his parents.
The 17-month-old, from Saskatchewan in Canada, is already being compared to Tiger Woods at the age of two.
It is unclear why there is no furniture in the room, but Rushton's parents seem so entertained by their talented son that they can probably live without a television.

I haven't done this for a long time. For those who have been a reader of this blog then you would know. I do this quite a lot before when I had plenty of time at home. But don't worry guys, I'll make it up this time.
So here are what I got lately.
Eyeliner and small eyeshadow+eyebrow palette from KKCenterHK which by the way I was looking and waiting for a long time! good thing the post office man was able to find it in their store room.
Samples from Ellana Cosmetics.
Cute crop top from Romwe which I bought supposedly for my Camotes trip but was super delayed.
These two tops are quite a surprise. I wasn't expecting these to arrive since my contact haven't replied if they sent these or not. These by the way are from Koees :)
That concludes my mini haul for now. Love the items and I am so excited to try the clothes on. I'll blog about them as soon as I can :)

MORAGA -- Although 70.5 percent of Moraga residents voted to support 2012's Measure K, which raised the local sales tax rate by 1 percent for 20 years, using the funds continues to have residents lining up on either side of the decision.
At the first of two Public Works Department town halls July 24, most residents expressed enthusiasm as the $3.3 million Phase II construction period commenced. A minority objected to the $7.7 million in Measure K-related funds, leveraged with bonds after the election, going to the three-year residential road repair project.
"When we voted for Measure K, it wasn't clear to us that it was just for cars," said 31-year Woodside Road resident Ferenc Kovac. "It was for trails and bike lanes, which are just being ignored. We talked about those plans, so what about them?"
At the town hall, Kovac directed that and similar questions to Edric Kwan, Public Works director and town engineer, and Mary Erchul, the project manager from Ghirardelli Associates.
Kwan explained that the revenue from Measure K, estimated to produce more than $900,000 per year for 20 years, is directed into the town's general fund and spent at the discretion of the Town Council. With considerable support from groups like "Yes on K" and expressed during public comments at town meetings, the council used a bond option to obtain up-front funding and designated it for pavement repair and road reconstruction.
"What has been dictated to me as policy from Town Council is residential streets," Kwan said. "Technically, Measure K funds can be spent on anything. But the leveraged funding we obtained is restricted to just residential streets."
In 2013, Phase I involved patching, rubberizing and micro-surfacing streets with less than severe deterioration. Phase II is addressing 28 roads rated "poor," and includes base, curb and gutter repairs, making curbs ADA-compliant, milling (scraping) to accommodate the hot asphalt overlay, raising utilities as necessary, and traffic striping.
Kwan said noticesto residents their streets were first to be serviced were likely to go out this week, with work starting two weeks later. Construction is projected to be completed by November. Phase III in 2015 will focus on reconstruction of "very poor" or "failed" streets.
"Why are we starting with the good streets?" Kwan asked. "If you address a street in good condition, it's one dollar per square yard."
He showed that roads rated lower cost $25, $42 and $80 per square foot. "If you wait, the better streets get more and more expensive (to repair)."
Kwan and Erchul outlined the project -- partial lane closures in early stages, complete road closures during milling and overlay stages, and an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekday, no holiday work schedule. They offered a number of ways for residents to stay informed.
To keep residents informed, there is a door-to-door campaign, town halls and lawn signs, and a three-week construction "look ahead" that will be upated weekly and posted on the town website at http://www.moraga.ca.us/paving, Kwan said.
Links on that page will allow people to view daily construction plans on Facebook, check the paving schedule, see a map and street list, and get proejct details.
Erchul said she will be available daily, and encouraged people to email her at email@example.com, caller her at 949-528-5731, or follow her as she "tweets and walks the streets" at twitter.com/MoragaMeasureK.
Forty-six years of living on Rimer Drive has led Virginia Sornsen to believe that Moraga roads "desperately needed" Measure K.
"We have homes that are worth a lot of money," she said. "We don't want roads with severe potholes and patching."
Larch Avenue resident Judy Cooper said she felt "absolutely" informed about the project.
"The roads are in bad shape and they're only going to get worse," she said. "I don't want to end up like Orinda."
In 2012, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission rated the condition of Orinda roads fifth-lowest among all Bay Area cities and counties with 53 percent of the roads rated "poor" or "failed."
Kovac, dissatisfied with the emphasis on residential roads and concerned about the safety of high school cross-country runners and the biking public, referred to early descriptions of Measure K.
Paraphrasing information on the town website that reads, "Measure K could also be used to provide funds for basic services for residents, such as public safety, youth and senior services, and park maintenance," he said he might have to resume attending Town Council meetings.
Kwan said town councils could designate different applications for Measure K funds in the future, but until that time, residential streets are receiving a long-overdue upgrade.

In This Article:
If you struggle with the daily annoyance of a shiny face that resembles an oil slick, you know how difficult it is to get oily skin under control. Adding to your frustration, whether you know it or not, is the fact that that many of the products claiming to eliminate shine and reduce oil actually make matters worse because they contain ingredients that irritate your skin and trigger more oil production!Read More Below
Oily skin is hard to control because it's the result of genetically determined hormonal changes in your body, and you simply cannot control hormones topically. The hormones responsible for oily skin are called androgens—the male hormones—and they are present in both men and women.
Androgens stimulate healthy oil production, and while that truly has benefit for your skin, it is a problem when androgens stimulate too much oil to be produced! When too much oil is produced, the pores become larger to accommodate the excess oil production. Excess androgens can also cause the pore lining to thicken, which blocks oil from getting out of the pore, and that can result in blackheads and white bumps.
Not sure if you have oily skin? It's recognizable by a few classic characteristics:
The first step in caring for oily skin is to take a critical look at your current skin-care routine. Using products with drying or irritating ingredients may seem like a good idea because they make your skin feel less oily, at least initially, but in the long run using such ingredients is a bad idea.
Irritating or drying ingredients only make matters worse, because they actually trigger more oil to be produced directly in the oil gland! Our advice: Avoid irritating ingredients at all costs!
Products that make your skin tingle (such as menthol, mint, eucalyptus, and lemon) or that contain alcohol may feel like they are helping with your oily skin, but tingling is not helpful for anyone's skin. When your skin tingles, it means it is being irritated, and irritation is always bad for skin. Tingling is just one way your skin is telling you it is hurting, and the cumulative damage will end up causing more problems.
Find out which irritating ingredients everyone should avoid.
Also bad for oily skin are products that contain pore-clogging or emollient ingredients, which may make your oily skin worse. As a general rule, ingredients that keep bar products in solid form (such as bar cleansers and soaps or stick foundations), or that are present in emollient lotions and creams are likely to clog pores and look greasy on your skin.
Instead of using creams or thick lotions, consider using only liquid, serum, or gel formulations.
The following essential skin-care guidelines—cleanse, tone, exfoliate, A.M. sun protection, P.M. hydration, and absorbing excess oil—will help you take control of your skin so you'll see less oil, smaller pores, and fewer breakouts, using products from Paula's Choice or the other products we recommend on
1. Cleanse
Use a gentle, water-soluble cleanser twice daily. Ideally, the cleanser should rinse without leaving a hint of residue, should not contain drying cleansing agents such as sodium lauryl sulfate (drying up skin doesn't help anything), and should be fragrance-free (fragrance is always irritating)
2. Tone
An alcohol-free toner loaded with antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients is an important step for oily skin. Toners that contain these ingredients help skin heal, minimize large pores by reducing inflammation, and remove the last traces of dead skin cells or makeup that can lead to clogged pores.
3. Exfoliate
Exfoliation is one of the most important skin-care steps for oily skin. Oily skin tends to have an extra-thick layer of built-up dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, along with a thickened pore lining. Exfoliating is the best way to remove that build up, reduce clogged pores and white bumps, while making skin feel smoother.
The best exfoliating ingredient for oily skin is salicylic acid (BHA). Salicylic acid exfoliates not only the surface of your skin but also inside the pore lining, thus improving pore function and allowing oil to flow easily to the surface, so it doesn't get backed up and plug the pore. In addition, over time, regular use of a BHA exfoliant will help fade the red marks from past blemishes.
Another benefit of salicylic acid is that it has anti-inflammatory properties, so it reduces irritation, which helps to calm oil production. Paula's Choice offers several BHA products.
4. A.M. Sun Protection
Even if you have oily skin, a sunscreen is essential for preventing wrinkles and reducing red marks. If you've avoided sunscreens because the ones you've tried are too greasy or too occlusive, we have some options that will change your impression of sunscreens for good. Look for weightless protection that helps keep your skin matte. You also can consider applying a matte-finish liquid foundation rated SPF 25 or greater and a pressed powder with SPF 15 or greater.
5. P.M. Hydration
At night, choose a lightweight liquid, gel, or serum that contains no pore-clogging ingredients and that can provide hydration while treating your skin to the essential ingredients all skin types need to function in a normal, healthy manner, such as antioxidant, cell-communicating, and skin-repairing ingredients.
6. Absorb Excess Oil
As you begin to get your oily skin under control, it's likely that you still will need to use oil-absorbing products, maybe weekly, biweekly, or even daily. This is an optional step, but many with oily skin find it helpful. Our favorite trick for nixing excess oil is to first blot with oil-blotting papers, and follow it with a light dusting of pressed powder with SPF 15. (Bonus: You're adding to your sun protection!)

UNIVERSITY PARK — Upscale bowling? You heard it correctly. Dallas is getting its own "boutique bowling, beer hall, and American tavern" complex on November 28 when Bowl & Barrel opens at The Shops at Park Lane.
Geared toward families, young professionals, and anyone looking for a luxurious bowling experience – and, who isn't? – Bowl & Barrel is the newest brainchild of Freerange Concepts, a Dallas-based development firm headed bySMU grads Kyle Noonan and Josh Sepkowitz that believes entertainment ought to be all-encompassing. Why hop from restaurant to bar to a boring old movie when you can burn off a few brew calories in an "elegant atmosphere?"
The 15,000 square feet boasts state-of-the-art technology and an upscale design, with 15 lanes adjoined to an American tavern with a menu designed by Chef Sharon Hage, formerly of the sorely missed York Street.
Hage will consult twice per year, adding seasonal and local surprises, and the eclectic mix will feature suped-up bowling alley favorites like baked pretzels, artisan hot dogs, and artisanal bologna from Rudolph's Market in Deep Ellum, in addition to higher-brow fare like fresh oysters with malt vinegar mignonette, fresh salads, and artisan cheese and ham boards.
The full menu – including craft cocktails and beer – will be available both in the restaurant and at the lanes, and night owls will appreciate the late-hours: Bowl & Barrel will stay open until midnight on Sunday through Thursday and, if you happen to be the type to "roll on Shabbos," until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
