Magdalen Chapter Hotel, Exeter
Wednesday 24 Apr 2013
Magdalen Chapter Hotel, Exeter, UK By FCB Studios
Swire Hotels have launched a new brand in the UK, Chapter Hotels, which operate contemporary hotels of the highest quality, specific to their locations and surroundings. Housed in the 19th century former West England Eye Hospital, this luxury 59 bedroom hotel is reflective of the skills and passions of the architects, artists and artisans who have collaborated in its creation.
Based in London, Kate Sweeney has over 18 years experience in the art world and specialises in the area of contemporary and modern art. She received a Bachelor's degree in Studio Art from Rosemont College in Philadelphia and the Art Institute of Philadelphia, as well as completing postgraduate courses in Arts Administration at New York University and Art History at Sotheby's Institute in London.
In 2005, Kate founded Perspective, where she continues to lead numerous collaborative efforts with international artists, architects, councils, developers and occupiers of buildings to integrate art within schemes around the world.
A multitude of projects involve the commissioning and management of fine art collections in corporate, private, institutional, retail, leisure and healthcare developments. Recent clients include British Land, Derwent London, Endo Heath Solutions, Freshwater Group of Companies, Harvard Medical School Dubai Center, Legal & General, Qatar Foundation and Swire Hotels.
Mindful of Chapter Hotel's support of locally inspired aesthetics, the search for an intriguingly diverse collection was launched to celebrate a taste of British culture in the arts. Fascinating discoveries ensued and the artworks throughout the hotel were carefully selected to engage each visitor whilst providing a platform for thoughtful appreciation and reflective conversation. This collection is a body of work in distinctive and curious mediums, stepping outside traditional methods and encompassing a variety of styles and materials - a compendium that includes collage, glass, light, maps, paper, rare books and wood.
The interior of the hotel is powered with subtle surprises, its walls and niches adorned by creatively probing pieces throughout, many site specic, such as the delicately hand finished mural with accents of copper leaf stretching the length of an entire wall. With each creation, worthy of a moment to discover its hidden wealth, these works combine edginess with elegance, modesty with ambition and seriousness with humour in a delightfully eclectic way. From the outset, an exploration of site specic commissions was initiated with works that captured or portrayed historical significance in relation to both the building and the surrounding landscape. Close collaboration with the selected artists cultivated a dialogue with continuously refreshing responses.
Just as the architecture blends contemporary design with period features, the artwork aims to nurture historical traces in a modern and innovative manner. These works form not only an integral part of the building, but also provide a vital connection between the overall hotel experience and its Devon location.
In essence, the collection characterises three specic and distinctive flavours - a taste of yesterday with hints of Victorian elegance and period charm, an experience of today with the contemporary air and passion in the commissioned works, and a glimpse of tomorrow with the vision and individuality each artist has shown in the development of their ideas and methods of interpretation.
Kate is on the jury of World Interiors News Awards 2013

Having a baby born very prematurely or weighing more than 10 pounds increases a woman's risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, recent research shows. If the findings can be replicated, investigators said these pregnancy complications could target women for lifestyle changes that may mitigate their diabetes risk down the road.
In the journal Preventing Chronic Disease, researchers reported data from first pregnancies of 51 728 women in the Nurses Health Study II. Although the study of female nurses aged 25 to 42 years began in 1989, the earliest pregnancy among them was in 1964. Follow-up ended in 2005 but covered a 35-year period. Over that time investigators examined associations between infants' gestational age and birth weight and their mothers' likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.

Love ya Adele
FAT b****!
her body is like mother having 6 kids. LOL
Woah …. Fierce ! XD
She slayed all these b****** … Bwahahahah >:))
Sam or Trent need to ban this hatin ass b**** @ Perrylicious always calling everyone on this site a flop
is that all you can think of? how stupid can you get? we all know that Adele is not a flop
u r dumb as f***
Adele is snatching every b****'s lace front. Especially these black queens. Shame on them. This woman's album beats even Jennifer Hudson's trash cd. She not only outsold them but is outdoing them in her music as well. On top of that this picture is FIERCE!!!
1 word-
YES, stunning INDEED. I love her look 🙂 (and her voice) 😉
YES, stunning INDEED. I love her look 🙂 (and her voice) 😉
Stunning?? she looks like the evil witch in Sleeping Beauty.
LOVE Adele! She is amazing!
Im sorry i dont see stunning… I see Ursula with some make up on from the Lil mermaid when i see this pic. LOL.
Im sorry I dont see stunning… I see Ursula with some make-up on from the Lil Mermaid when i look at this pic. LOL.
I didnot mean to comment twice lol. I thought 1st comment didnt submit.
She's f****** gorgeous.
@ Prince & Queen:
Ursula looks like a morbidly obese man on drag. Kinda harsh to be saying Adele looks like her, no?
* in drag.
The only reason Adele is "slaying" black female artists is because if they sing throwback soul, they are automatically consigned to the R&B ghetto. Yes she's very talented, as are Duffy, Amy Winehouse, and whomever white soul singer Britain exports to America, but they are considered mainstream acts because they are white and because of the novelty of a white woman singing like Aretha or Roberta. There are plenty of black women singing soul–remember the neo-soul trend around 2001-2003? Where are Ledisi, India Arie, Heather Headley, and Leela James? Why isn't Alice Smith signed to a mainstream label? For that matter, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott aren't even where they need to do be regarding mainstream success! So don't believe the hype the world is selling.
nice pic, but she needs to vary it a little. this looks like an outtake for the album cover.
and yes, she's overrated.
Sorry but Duffy ain't s***.
Anyway Adele is a pretty lady but I don't like this pic, the eyebrows are to severe for her soft face.
LOVE her!
You are a dumb ass fool. Speak for yourself… not EVERYBODY lives in your stupid brain.
I love Adele. She is lovely.
This B**** is Phenomenal…picture is bomb and i love that Neck piece ..shes on point..always have and always will be
Adele looks beautiful. I love the eye make-up!!
@True Blue that was harsh. She has pretty eyes.
fashion forward.
I absolutely adore this woman! Unfortunately, this pic doesn't do her justice. They did her up a bit too severe. She's a gorgeous woman – let her soft beauty shine through, Elle!

The only way in which loss can be offset is preparing a flawless action plan. Therefore, we are presenting our created a best example of Action Plan Template. It is a fact that no organization can survive without an action plan, because an action plan will briefly clarify the company about the resources it necessarily required to take for reaching on the goal. With the support of action plan a company can simply formulate a structure that may timeline the detailed step-by-step guidance for fulfillment the goals of company on within stated time. A well-designed action plan will virtually support the company to take steps according to the objective. Here company can accomplish a specific task while following an action plan. But, without a solid action plan the company may failed to determine what resources are required for continue the operations of business. A company doesn't having an action plan will fail to achieve its desired target on time. It will lose the market shares as well as the interest level of customers. The company will poorly fail to have check on the working milestones of employees. Thus, without action plan business will badly suffered & get unsuccessful for maintaining its image in the marketplace.

One of our biggest Jewish values is education. And what can be more joyful for a parent than when a child completes a certain stage of education? Graduation - whether from nursery, elementary, middle, high school or college - is indeed a proud and momentous occasion. But like so many momentous occasions, especially those involving family, there are a lot of factors mixed into it - strong emotions, both positive and negative; logistics about where out-of-towners are going to stay; what gift to get the graduate - that can put a difficult spin on a day that's supposed to be wonderful.The key to having a lovely graduation for your child lies in doing some advance planning, lowering your expectations of the perfect day and trying to overlook the inevitable mishaps.
Of course you're happy your child is graduating. But there's also some sadness that may go along with it. With each passing grade, your child is growing more independent - and you're growing older, not a reality that gladdens most people.
Many parents form intense bonds with other nursery school parents, and often the whole family can go through a difficult transition when the child moves from the smaller, more intimate environment of nursery school to the larger, more impersonal public school system.
In some graduations, your whole life may change, such as when your last child graduates from high school. "It's just hitting me now how quiet and lonesome it's going to be," says Lisa Levine (not her real name) of Washington, D.C., who will face the empty nest when her daughter graduates from high school this spring and moves on to college. "It's a little scary."
But don't be surprised: You could feel a little guilty about being glad that your kid is graduating and leaving home. This is also a normal reaction. After all, continuous parenting is tiresome, and some parents, while they foresee how much they'll miss their kids, like the idea of less laundry, a clean room, and a silent phone for part of the evening.
The bottom line is that graduation - the weeks before, the day of, and the weeks after - may bring on a lot of intense emotions. Accept them.One of the best ways to accept them is to share them with others - your partner; your kid, if your relationship accommodates it; and most importantly, your friends who are going through a similar experience. One woman in Brookline, Mass., is hosting a tea for mothers of graduating seniors. It's her way of acknowledging an important transition and an opportunity to have everyone express themselves about what it means to have their kids graduating.
As parents, we should also be aware of our kids' emotions. There are pride, joy and excitement, but there is also some sadness, which may or may not be overtly expressed. Kids graduating from middle school may feel the loss of a favorite teacher. Or they may be anxious about starting high school and separating from some of their lifelong friends. Seniors may actually be worried about leaving home, although most won't admit it. And there will be sadness and angst for high school sweethearts who will be going their separate ways.
There's not much you can do about these feelings your child may experience except to be aware that they may occur and to offer a supportive ear if possible. You may want to reassure a child who expresses anxiety about separation that you will still be available to him or her though phone, e-mail or visits.
If you get along with them, great. They'll be a part of this joyful occasion, as they have during other major family events. If you don't get along with certain relatives but you feel obligated to invite them to the graduation, there's a five-letter word you must know about: hotel.
That's the only way it will work with troublesome relatives. Even if you have to pay for their accommodations, it will be worth it. Politely explain that there will be a lot of tension on this important day and everyone will feel more relaxed in his or her own space.
Former spouses and in-laws
A graduation is one of those occasions where you can't avoid seeing your former spouse and possibly other former family members. Remember to focus on your child and try your hardest to help the day go smoothly.For college graduations, there may be several days during which you have to spend time with your former spouse and in-laws. Planning to socialize with other families can help minimize the awkwardness of the occasion. Your child may be anxious about having both sides of a divorced family spending time together. Talk to your former spouse and plan, in the interest of your child, how to make the occasion as tension-free as possible.
The gift
Younger graduating kids are generally (but not always) easier to please. If in doubt, you can ask their friends - who will be happy to snitch - what they may like. Offer a couple of choices that are within your budget. If possible, get your child something personal that commemorates the occasion.But don't feel you have to go overboard in terms of expense, especially with high school seniors. When you remember the upcoming college tuition, you'll be more likely to think realistically when buying a gift.If you have trouble deciding what to get, ask your child to pick out something special. (Just stay away from car dealers unless you're really prepared for all the implications of such a gift.)
Graduation tips
Here's a little extra advice that may be useful:
- Tell your kid what it was like when you graduated. This may encourage your child to share some of his or her thoughts with you.
- Be alert to any extreme sadness or anxiety - on the part of your child or yourself - that may require professional assistance.
- Buy a gift for the graduate that can be exchanged, and don't feel too bad if he or she returns it
- If relatives act up, just tell yourself that it's one day and they'll be gone soon. If they really act up, take them aside and tell them they're ruining the event for your kid - their grandchild, niece or whatever. That should bring about short-term results that will get you through the day.
- Remember to focus on your child's needs when you interact with your former spouse and in-laws. Wanting your child to be happy is one thing you all share. Remember to have a good time - and mazel tovon your child's graduation !

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni will meet with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo Thursday to discuss extending the six-month temporary cease-fire with Hamas, which ended Friday.
Last Thursday evening, Hamas officials announced that they would not renew the cease-fire.
Monday, they announced a 24-hour suspension of hostilities, though Palestinians fired four Kassam rockets on Israeli communities on Tuesday. No personal injuries or property damaged were reported in Tuesday's attacks.
Outgoing Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, in Turkey to advance his third-party negotiations with Syria, approved the foreign minister's trip to Cairo.
Some analysts believe that Mubarak's invitation is meant to affirm Egypt's backing of Livni's candidacy in the upcoming national elections, scheduled for February 10. They say this is why she was invited in place of Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who has been a staunch supporter of the cease-fire.
Hamas officials confirmed that the one-day cessation of hostilities was initiated at Egypt's request so Israel would open the Kerem Shalom border crossing to transfer aid from Egypt to the Gaza Strip.
Israeli officials said the incident shows that Hamas will listen to Egypt when it suits them.
A Hamas spokesman said rocket fire would be resumed as soon as the shipment arrived in Gaza, Israel Radio reported.
Hamas wrested control of the Gaza Strip from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction in a bloody military coup in June 2007.

Are you finding it hard to find time to get to your nail tech, finding it is starting to become costly, then maybe now is the time to start doing it yourself at your own leisure.
Always remember that you are using chemicals, each with their own unique components and each should be treated with the utmost respect.
1. good quality files
2. anti bacterial solution
3. nail prep - this temporarily removes the natural oils in the nail plate to help with better adhesion of the acrylic or gel and is also an anti-bac.
4. nail primer - this lays down a chemical base for the acrylic or gel to adhere to.
5. Good quality acrylic powder or gel
6. An acylic liquid or monomer which does not have MMA. There is plenty of data available on the internet about MMA and we strongly believe it is a product that should be avoided.
7. A good brush
8. Soak Off - used to remove acrylic nails.
9. Good quality tips
10. Glue
11. Dappen Dish
12. Cuticle sticks
13. Cuticle pusher
14. Whiteblock
15. Cuticle Oil - regular application of cuticle oils helps with continued adhesion of the arcylic or gel.
16. Cleanser plus - used for removing the sticky residue after curing and cleaning your brush.
17. A UV Lamp
Remember to treat your nails with respect and to do everything you can to minimise damage to the nail plate because damage will allow fungal infections in and weaken the nails.
Keep your products at a cool room temperature, if it is a hot day, move them to somewhere cooler during this time as this will help the chemicals life expectancy.
If you feel you are still not sure about doing your own nails or are having trouble, there are ebooks available with instructions on how to apply acrylics or gels and it is always handy to have a copy at hand for referral.

Jim Handler opted for a camouflage-pattern halter top and boy shorts for a Valentine's Day gift for his wife, Diane, rather than a skimpier lace top and panty set, also in camouflage./p
"It was tempting, but I think I'm safer with these," said the Baltimore man, as he walked away from The Formal Sportsman's booth at the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show. "No complaints of them being more a gift for me than for her."
To play it even safer, Handler could have gone with a small Teddy bear, also in camouflage, from anyone of several other booths scattered throughout the State Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg.
Camouflage is the unofficial official color of the show, worn on caps, jackets and backpacks of likely more than half the visitors, and sold on an ever-expanding array of products by the exhibitors and vendors at the show.
When the Formal Sportsman brought its first handful of camouflage sport coats to the show 11 years ago, the garments were a relatively unique specialty item and the State College-based company was a pioneer in the field of applying camouflage to sportsman-oriented products not intended for use while hunting or fishing.
However, in the ensuing decade the company has found itself continually expanding its camo product line to stay ahead of a burgeoning field of competitors.
"I never ever thought the business would be like this," said Tiffany Bailey, owner. "Every year we sell more at the show, and everywhere.
This year's new camouflaged offering from her company is a line of surgical scrubs, in standard camo and a pink variation.
Florida-based Frigid-Rigid didn't start with any camouflaged products, but it's now expanded in that direction.
The company's camouflaged coolers were proving themselves as traffic-stopping eye-candy at the booth, although the high-end prices in the hundreds of dollars were leading to few immediate purchases.
"They're expensive, but they are eye-catching, commented Art Link, owner of the Florida-based company.
He explained, "We've been making coolers for 30 years, but they're all basically white. "We just had a lot of requests from our customers who are hunters."
The ongoing interest in applying camouflage coloring to an almost endless array of products has led Tarjac, a third-party camo-applicator for gun and bow manufacturers for 13 years, into the consumer market and this year to the show in Harrisburg for the first time. The company now will dip-coat nearly any hard, paintable item in camouflage.
Standing behind an array of fully camouflaged deer skulls, alligator skulls, gun stocks, football helmets and more, Ken Copella, a manager with the company, noted, "We've had phenomenal interest. We cannot keep business cards in stock at the booth."

Paraguay economy poised to expand 11.3% in 2013 propped by agriculture
The Paraguayan economy is poised to expand 11.3% next year propped by the strong recovery from agriculture according to Pricewaterhouse Coopers, an estimate far more optimist than the 9.5% of the government budget.
Exports should reach historic 6.8bn dollars in 2013 while imports will soar to 11.1bn but 4.5bn will be re-exported so the final balance is fair said PwC.
"Climate conditions are favourable and the crop is going to be very positive", said Gaston Scotover, PwC associate during a conference for business leaders. Paraguay is the world's fourth exporter of soybeans behind US, Brazil and Argentina.
"The second important element is the recovery of the meat market (following the outbreak of foot and mouth disease, FAM, at the end of 2011), and investments, both private as well as those planned by the government"
The consultants estimate that Paraguay's economy this year will contract between 0.7% and 0.2% mainly because of the effects of drought on agriculture and the collapse of beef exports for sanitary reasons. The Paraguayan government estimates the contraction at 1.5%.
The impact was lesser than in other drought periods since international prices for commodities have remained sustainedly strong and help from an improved corn crop, said Scotover. In 2009 another year punished by lack of rains the contraction was 3.2%.
The non agriculture GDP this year will have an expansion of 2.5% and 3.9% in 2013. "This shows that independently from the primary sector, the other sectors of the economy are showing positive signs, leaving aside agriculture".
PwC also anticipated that there should not be major variations with the exchange rate with small appreciations in the periods of greater revenue (March to June) with an average price of 4.400 Guaraníes per US dollar with a floor of 4.200 Guaraníes.
This year's consumer inflation should be in the range of 3.1% but expectations for 2013 are that prices climb between 4.2% and 5.8% because of the demanding domestic market. Prices could be further affected if fuel prices, which are administered by the government suffer changes, concluded Scotover from PwC.

With Chapterhouse proofreading and copy-editing courses, you can
- Work from home as a freelance proofreader or copy-editor
- Earn extra money in a way that fits in with your lifestyle
- Improve your existing career – businesses need good proofreaders and copy-editors on their staff
- Break into the publishing industry
- And do a job you'll really enjoy
We are a specialist organisation and our focus is on giving our students the best possible chance to thrive, through our experience, expertise and individual support. Richard, a Chapterhouse director, says:
"There is huge satisfaction to be had from both proofreading and copy-editing. Proofreading brings out the nit-picker in all of us, and copy-editing an author's work to make it as good as it can be is a really rewarding way to spend your time – while earning money!"
What do proofreaders and copy-editors do?
The copy-editor works in detail on a book, before it has been designed and prepared for printing. Copy-editing involves improving the book and making it the best it can be, as well as finding all the little mistakes. Copy-editing is a broader job than proofreading, and copy-editors are usually paid slightly more.
The proofreader is the detail spotter who weeds out the last-minute errors (typos, spellings, punctuation) before the book goes into print but does not make substantial changes.
Many people work both as copy-editors and as proofreaders, however. Often, non-publishing clients (such as charities, businesses and other organisations) want a mixture of proofreading and copy-editing. Proofreading and copy-editing are both usually done by freelancers who work from home.
Chapterhouse correspondence courses or face-to-face seminars train you to a professional standard in all editorial skills
Correspondence courses
Some students like to take their time and study at home at their own pace, taking up to a year to complete the course, and for them Chapterhouse offers two different correspondence courses. Students taking our correspondence courses receive manuals with lots of exercises and model answers for self-assessment, plus additional free exercises which can be sent in for detailed marking and feedback from our tutors.
The Proofreader Plus Course covers just proofreading, and the Proofreading and Editorial Skills Course deals with both proofreading and copy-editing.
Book during September and save up to £175 on correspondence course fees*
Run by Senior Tutor Tom Richards, Chapterhouse face-to-face seminars are warm and informal, with emphasis placed on group work and graduated exercises. We also give students as much personal attention as possible. There is a lot of discussion of English language, words, grammar and punctuation. Everyone enjoys the courses and learns a huge amount in a short time. Our four-day seminars cover both proofreading and copy-editing, while for students wanting an express course in proofreading, we have one-day seminars. Seminars are held at Imperial College London.

More than 500 movie theaters across the country will show actor Kirk Cameron's new movie "Monumental: In Search of America's National Treasure," Tuesday, March 27.
The documentary traces the steps of our founding fathers and the beliefs that led them to start a new country.
But during his publicity tour for the film earlier this month, Cameron made news for speaking out on gay marriage and homosexuality. CNN host Piers Morgan sparked the controversy when he asked Cameron if he thought homosexuality is a sin.
"I think it's unnatural. I think it's detrimental and ultimately destructive to many of the foundations of our civilization," Cameron responded during the March 2 show.
Cameron also told Morgan in response to further questions that he believes God has defined marriage.
The actor's comments sparked outrage from Hollywood celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell and further questions from other media outlets.
CBN News recently talked with Cameron about the backlash, noting the irony of being attacked for his beliefs while promoting a movie about liberty and religious freedom.
"It's perfectly making the point of 'Monumental,'" Cameron said, "which is that societies will eventually come to the place where political correctness is so important that if you don't bend your beliefs to the moral standards of the politically correct, those in charge, you will be dragged out to the public square and stoned, so to speak, for holding your beliefs. Or you can hold them as long as you're silent."
While many are attacking Cameron for his comments, others are offering support.
"I've gotten 20 times as many positive responses from people saying, 'Thank you for representing the rest of us and how we feel on social issues and morality and faith,'" Cameron told CBN News.
The silver lining in all this is that the negative buzz is leading to greater publicity for his film.
Cameron said he hopes it will inspire families to better understand the ideals that shaped our country's beginning and how we can continue to uphold that legacy.
"We need to understand what made our our country so great in the first place," Cameron said, "because if we don't understand that, we're never going to be able to get it back on track."

"The Watchers is a historic collaboration between Lubomyr Melnyk and James Blackshaw. Both artists are well known as composers but here it is their impovisational skills that are on display." (label info) "We all met at the Vortex Jazz Cafe around midday. We set up, Lubomyr at the grand piano, me directly facing him with my 12-string guitar and began. I would retune at random between songs and together we would find interesting chord progressions, hints of melodies and ways in which to weave those immense overtones that Lubomyr is able to generate on the piano with those of my guitar. No more than two takes per song. Improvisation, spontaneous composition, whatever you want to call it. Either way, it truly felt as if the piano and guitar were as one - inseparable, parts of a bigger whole, a means by which for two people to make one sound. It never felt forced and never less than engaging. Lubomyr was always humble, jovial and open to ideas. The whole session lasted six hours. I'm not a great improviser. I always want to take that raw creative element that the form brings and work upon it, to distill and refine it further. I think Lubomyr feels the same. But there is something about these recordings that would be incredibly difficult to recapture. A small moment in time, feeling perfectly and wonderfully lost within that sound. I'm honoured."

Should be perfectly fine. I would probably eat fish as my main source of meat if I could afford that much quality fish.
I'd make sure to throw in plenty of fruits and veggies too. And you might consider eating as much whole fish (for the livers and other goodies) and fish eggs (super-dense in nutrition and good fats) as possible rather than just going for fillets all the time.

We all can become more knowledgeable birders, whether we began looking closely at birds more than 25 years ago or started paying attention to them last month. These creatures vary so incredible in their appearances and behaviors that North American birding enthusiasts have ample opportunity to keep learning about them — and how to find and identify them.
We collected 25 tips from expert birders around the country. Their advice covers various topics, but the clues focus on techniques that you can apply as soon as you finish reading this article. Here's to better birding!
1) Really do your homework, and study the local birds, suggested Shawneen Finnegan. The Oregon-based artist said if we read our field guides and learn the local species' ranges, then we can better know what to expect to see outdoors.
2) Brian Sullivan suggested ignoring plumage when looking at raptors from hawkwatch sites. "Focus on shape and flight style from a distance instead," said the eBird project leader. "If you're looking for a Red-tailed Hawk at a hawkwatch, you're not going to see it. You are going to see a large soaring bird with wide rounded wings, a shortish rounded tail and a slight dihedral, and that limits your choice to a few buteos."
3) Photographer Kevin Karlson said to concentrate on a bird's size, body shape, bill shape and length, leg length and wing shape. "These non-changeable features don't vary like a bird's plumage does throughout the year," he said. After focusing on those traits, you can create a mental picture of each bird that doesn't rely on its variable feathers.
4) Stay calm, though, if you can't identify every bird, Karlson said. "I often remind my field-trip participants that birds don't know the names that we give them, so don't worry if you forget those names," he said. "Just enjoy the spectacle!"
5) Jeff Bouton, an otics specialist, advised truly taking time to look at every aspect of the bird. "Fight the urge to turn to your field guide," he said. "Too often, birders take quick glimpses and then open their books while the bird's still there. There's plenty of time to look at the book after the bird leaves."
6) Use field notes instead, Bouton said. "Bring a field notebook. It forces you — when describing what you're seeing — to really know that bird beyond a field mark," he said. "It helps you to be a more effective birder."
7) For more advice about gear, Bouton said to really know the functions and limitations of your equipment. "Practice using it," he said. "When using binoculars, practice finding a bird, knowing how to locate it. The same is true of birders who use spotting scopes once in a while; they find that they can't find their birds, and that's frustrating. Birding is supposed to be fun."
8) For more comfortable birding, Finnegan suggested using a lower-power binocular. "Try a 7-power or an 8-power," she said. "A lot of people think more is better, but higher-power binoculars can be heavier and harder to hold steady."
9) While birding at hawkwatches, resist using your spotting scope, Sullivan advised. "Look with your binoculars instead of the scope," he said. "You can learn more if you watch the bird approach while using your binocular. You can see how birds' flight styles differ."
10) With binoculars in hand at a hawkwatch, Sullivan said to scan the skies lower than you think you should. "Raptors are really difficult to see in a blue sky," he said. "You'll notice that the hawkwatchers are scanning slowly from side to side, and they're finding a lot more birds in a blue sky."
11) If you're scanning the skies just above your home, Finnegan suggested starting a yard list. "That way, children will have a focus," she said. "It can be a little competitive, and it's a tool for getting them interested.
12) If birding with children, deploy the ultimate tool: your spotting scope, according to Peter Stangel, who writes WildBird's Conservation Corner department. "Most novices are intrigued with the magnification that spotting scopes provide," he said. "The other day, I showed 5-year-old Anna — who I ran into at one of my favorite South Carolina birding spots — a Sora. Once Anna got the hang of the scope, she shouted with glee, 'Mommy, I can see tiny insects crawling on his feathers!' You don't have to show them rare birds. The point is to share an eye-popping view that will leave newbies wanting more."
13) Don Freiday advised having children practice using a spotting scope by looking at cars or stop signs. WildBird's Backyard Safari author said, "With the sign, you can ask what it says to find out if they really can look through the scope and see clearly."
14) With older children, you can create an informal identification quiz, like Freiday does. "They'll take turns looking through the scope and try to figure out what that bird was," he said. "Depending on their skill levels, I'll give them a page range in their field guides."
15) Paul J. Baicich said to focus education efforts on baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, instead of today's youth. "Boomers are the largest chunk of our population, and now they're approaching retirement or an empty nest," he said. "They're looking for activity in the autumn of their years. I meet them all over the place at bird festivals; they're rediscovering birds and nature. I think they're much more responsive to the bird issue than the kids are. Plus, adults drive their own cars, they vote, and they have money to write checks."
16) Whether birding with children or baby boomers, Freiday suggested keeping your eyes open and your mouth shut, giving yourself more time to watch a bird before trying to put a name on it. "That's true of any bird, but with birds of prey in flight, they'll fool you," he said. "The longer you watch them, you'll get a better feel for their shape and weight. With birds of prey at hawkwatches, I like to say, 'Here comes a potentially interesting bird.' If it ends up being a Sharp-shinned Hawk, it's still an interesting bird."
17) Photographer Brian E. Small makes another interesting point: "Learn how birds are related to their habitats. A lot of beginning birders don't understand that a lot of birds are very specific to certain kinds of habitats. If you go to the Sonoran desert, you're going to get a certain suite of birds: Phainopeplas, Verdins, Cactus Wrens, Gila Woodpeckers, Gilded Flickers. It's pretty unlikely you're going to find a Black-backed Woodpecker in that habitat."
18) Small, based in Los Angeles, said to apply that habitat-specific knowledge to photography excursions, too. "If I go to a boreal forest in Maine in June, I can expect to find a certain mix of birds: Blackpoll Warblers, Mourning Warblers and a host of other species. Through experience and traveling around the country, I learned that birds are really habitat-specific."
19) When you're traveling by airplane, photographer Arthur Morris suggested putting your binocular in one or two woolen watch caps to protect it from shock and moisture, regardless of whether you carry it onto the plane or put it in your checked baggage (usually not the best idea). "If you're going out in a cold place, then grab a watch cap for your head," he said. "I do this while packing my photo bags; everything goes in wool hats. The cap-encased binocular also could go in a carry-on computer bag or the pocket of a big coat, and it'll be well-protected."
20) Freiday said to pack for travel with the "rule of three" for shirts and pants. "You wear a shirt, and you pack two more," he said. "That's all you need for any birding trip of any length. If one gets wet, you have a whole day for it to dry. On birding trips, no one cares if you wear the same clothes. They're not looking at you."
21) Hummingbird expert, Sheri Williamson suggested that eastern birders visiting the West for the first time plan their birding routes extra carefully to allow for larger distances. "We have such wide open spaces that you could eat up your birding day just driving from one birding site to another," said the Arizona resident.
22) Consider all weather possibilities, and dress in layers before going out in the field, Williamson said. "If we're uncomfortable, we're not going to enjoy the birding. If I'm going out in a dry area, I need to bring water and eye drops," she said. "If it's cold and I don't have gloves, I can't work the focus knob on my binocular. It's a matter of safety as well as comfort."
23) While you're out, just sit for a while, Stangel suggested. "I love active birding — hiking, biking, canoeing, you name it," he said. "More and more though, I enjoy just sitting and letting birds and nature come to me.
24) "Find a comfortable place to sit or stand, and wait a few minutes," Stangel said. "You'll become part of the landscape, your senses will be heightened, and you'll start to see amazing things. The birds and wildlife will acclimate to your presence, and you'll be treated to the chance to see birds doing everyday things that we sometimes don't notice — the way they hunt for food, the things they eat, the competitors they watch for."
25) Photographers spend a lot of time sitting and waiting for birds to reveal their everyday behaviors. Morris suggested learning to "use a 300mm or 400 mm lens with a prosumer [professional-consumer] camera body that offers a nice multiplier effect like 1.5x or 1.6x. With a bit of practice, you can make some great images while you're out birding."
Small said to study your camera manual, know every button on your camera, and practice using the camera in your yard. "A lot of times when you get out in the field, you have to make quick decisions based on changing lighting and changing backgrounds," he said. "You need to know the camera's light meter and know how it reacts to shadows, dark birds, light birds.
"At home, point the lens at a sunny spot in your yard, point it at a shady spot, point it at dappled light," Small said. "Practice in your yard, and make your mistakes at home before getting out in the field. Expect to make mistakes. It's part of the learning process. When you're faced with the same situation, you'll make different decisions."
When we learn from them, mistakes make us into better photographers and birders. With these expert tips, we hope that you'll learn from others' experiences and become a more effective birder who enjoys birds even more.

Back from camp again and sorry for the lack of blogs; it's mostly the internet connection over that keeps me from blogging. It's really slow and I've been thinking about getting a mobile internet key so I won't have to deal with the congested traffic up there. Plus it's really hard to manage my time while I'm there. I wake up at quarter to 5 in the morning, having half an hour to get ready and eat some breakfast and then there is that 12 hour shift that's pretty damn harsh. After that I only have 2 and half hours to do what I need to there like eat, shower and do my laundry every few days. Half that time I'm waiting for website to load on my laptop because of the slow connection. But the pay is really good and that I'm really thankfully for the opportunity.
Now for some gaming stuff....
I finally bought a gamepad and Deus Ex: Human Revolution again but this time for my laptop. I'm really excited to start some PC gaming, I've been thinking about getting Batman: Arkham City for the PC just for some of the cool mods. Especially the mods that allow you to play as Robin or Nightwing in the story mode. However it seems that Arkham City will be getting some story based DLC in the near future featuring the Tim Drake as the boy wonder facing off with Harley Quinn. It was something that I've been hoping for a while now; hopefully Nightwing will be some time in Arkham City via DLC.
Does anyone know of any good mods for the Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast? Something that will allow me to change the display to wide screen, also for better game pad support. I can't get console like controls right now with my game pad and that's what I want to play with.
Bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus for the PS Vita and I'm really enjoying that fact that it does play like the console versions. However I did disable the back touch pad but it kind of does get in the way of the experience. I've been playing it on the new "hero" mode which is suppose to make the game easier but I still kind of suck at the game. Also I've been playing Motor Storm RC a little bit, I'm kind of annoyed by it a little. It mostly how damn difficult it is to control the RC cars, especially the buggys. Not to mention how perfect the A.I. cars tend to drive at some of the harder races. But hey! At least it was free right....
I had a little scare when I came back from camp, I thought my PS3 was broken. When I tried to turn it on, there was no image coming on my t.v. screen. After some tinkering around, I just found out that the HMDI output was changed from 1 to 2. A sign of relief really, not to mention I haven't backed up my saves in a while which I'll do later tonight.
GOG.com was giving the original Fallout as a free download today so I jumped on that; damn those old RPG's were kind of complicated. I couldn't figure out the battle system and got killed by a rat just outside the Vault door; I'm terrible with the genre.
that's all for the moment, have a safe holiday weekend.

Gun incident at Madison County CourthouseUPDATED 12:03 AM CDT Mar 25, 2014
A gun scare at the Madison County Courthouse prompted area schools to issue a lockdown Monday in Winterset.Video Transcript
Tonight... We dig deeper into courthouse security issues in Madison county. Deputies arrested a man after he brought two handguns into a courtroom and ran from authorities after his sentencing. KCCI's Ryan Smith questioned the sheriff about safety at the county courthouse. Todd... This man was able to carry two guns inside the courthouse, threaten the chief deputy and go on the run. The sheriff tells me, he expected a shootout and things could have ended much worse. A gun scare at the Madison county courthouse prompted an evacuation and area schools went on lockdown. Clay Daugherty was in court for meth possession. :47 "JUDGE CLOGG WAS ON THE BENCH." 17.46 "HE WAS VERY CALM." :54 "SENTENCED HIM TO TEN YEARS." 17.50 "AND I ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED TO SAY ANYTHING AND HE JUST SAID NO." But just moments after judge Richard Clogg left the bench, Daugherty refused to be taken into custody. He pulled out a 38 special handgun and ran out of the second-story courtroom, jumped halfway down a flight of stairs and exited the courthouse... armed and dangerous. "I CAN ONLY THINK OF ONE REASON THAT MAN BROUGHT TWO GUNS INTO THIS COURTROOM. WHICH WAS? A SHOOTOUT." Sheriff Craig Busch cornered Daugherty at gunpoint not even one football field's length away from winterset elementary school. Deputies discovered his guns were thrown out in a garbage bin steps from the courthouse. Even though the altercation only lasted a few minutes, it exposed numerous security holes. "MY HOPE IS THAT AT LEAST WE COULD HAVE A DEPUTY PRESENT ON DAYS WHERE WE'RE HIGH VOLUME WHERE WE'RE DOING SENTENCINGS, PLEAS." But busch says that costs money Madison county doesn't have. The sheriff's department is already short- staffed for street patrols. There are seven deputies, including the sheriff, to patrol the entire county. 11.07 "I'M NOT SURE THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO TO MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN SHORT OF REQUESTING MORE MANPOWER AND METAL DETECTING MACHINES." According to Judge Clogg, the only area courthouses with metal detectors and staffed with deputies are Polk and Dallas counties. Thanks, Ryan. Daugherty is now being charged with assault, felon in possession of a firearm and escape from custody.

Venus Williams, even at age 32, is still a hot commodity in the tennis world. Thats why Family Circle Cup general manager Bob Moran is so excited that the seven-time Grand Slam singles titlist is coming to Daniel Island next month for the World Team Tennis Finals Weekend.
Williams will play for the defending champion Washington Kastles as they try to extend their record 30-match winning streak Sept. 14-16 at Family Circle Tennis Center.
John McEnroe is also bound for the Finals Weekend to try to bolster the New York Sportimes chances against the Kastles in the 6:30 p.m. Eastern Conference championship match on Sept. 15.
Venus is extremely excited about helping the Kastles extend their winning streak, Moran said Wednesday. And John is a huge WTT fan That and coming back to Charleston where he has felt really comfortable the last two years (at Family Circle events) solidified him coming.
Lindsay Davenport and the Orange County Breakers will battle the Sacramento Capitals in the Western Conference final on Sept. 14 at 6:30 p.m. The two conference champions will square off for the WTT championship on Sept. 16 at 3:30 p.m.
Williams is fresh from winning the doubles gold medal with her sister Serena in the London Olympics. Venus notched back-to-back three-set wins over Maria Kirilenko of Russia and Chanelle Scheepers of South Africa Tuesday and Wednesday at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati.
The Kastles won last years WTT title on Daniel Island and then went 14-0 this summer for their 30 straight victories. They need just four wins to break the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers record for consecutive wins by a major U.S. pro sports franchise. No other major U.S. pro team has ever posted back-to-back unbeaten regular seasons.
WTT Finals Weekend tickets can be purchased by calling (800) 677-2293. The event is offering a free terrace level ticket for the Sunday final with the purchase of Friday-Saturday tickets (box seats not included).

Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Zevalin sorted by most helpful.
I used this treatment in combination with Rituxan for my stage 4 follicular non hodgkins lymphoma. I was given this as first line treatment and had awesome results. I am now 5 years in remission and have been discharged by my oncologist as all PET and CT scans have been unchanged and no return of disease. The only down side was my counts dropped very low and I had to have Procrit shots to increase the levels. I had more trouble with the Rituxan than the Zevalin, Rituxan infusion had to be done slow 5-6 hours due to me having reaction to the med throughout my treatment, but I just fell asleep during the treatment and went home fine afterward. I would recommend this treatment without any reservations.

With the arrival of spring (finally!), we get to pull out our sandals, stick on our shorts and relax in the yard with our toes in the grass or, in my sons' cases, the sandbox.
This time of year also brings one of my children's favorite activities: painting toenails. It started with my 4-year-old when he was about 2 and a half and would watch me paint my toenails for sandal season. His favorite color has always been pink, and even now he lists it in his top three. So when he saw my bright pink nail polish, he had to be just like Mama.
There was a controversy in the media two years ago when a JC Penney's ad came out and the editor talked about painting nails together with her young son. People worried that she was somehow confusing her child by bending strict gender-role expectations and painting his toenails.
I can pretty easily say I've never worried that either of my sons would be confused if I let them have pink, blue or purple toenails because they like bright colors and like doing the things I do. It's actually really fun to paint their little tootsies, and I get a kick out of seeing them show them off to everyone we run into for a week before all the sandbox play inevitably chips the polish away.
Last spring, when my 4-year-old was fairly new to his preschool, he asked me to paint his nails, and then I put him in tennis shoes to go to school that day. I think I was worried the other kids would say something negative to him about it, or that he would feel weird about being the only boy with blue toenails.
I couldn't have been more wrong. When I picked him up that day, his teacher told me he'd taken off his shoes just so he could show her and all his friends his painted toes. And everyone thought it was really cool, too.
Because really, we are the first ones who teach our kids what is weird and what is just a great way to express yourself. If my boys want to express themselves with a rainbow of nail polish on their toes, then by all means I'll help them do it. To a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old, being just like Mama is still really cool, and I'm going to hold onto that as long as I can!

The rocky outcrops of limestone along the river were noted by many of the early explorers that passed through this area as early as the late 1600s. Much of the scenic beauty that we enjoy today has been forming for hundreds of years. Human history is barely a moment compared to the history found in the rocks and soil deposits in the monument. The clues to the past are evident along the trails, in secluded wooded valleys and in the picturesque bluffs along the Mississippi River.

Stallings Grabs Five-Shot Lead in Humana Challenge
Scott Stallings fired a 9-under 63 to take a substantial five-stroke lead heading into the final round of the Humana Challenge. The $5.6 million PGA Tour is taking place on three courses - La Quinta Country Club and the Nicklaus Private and Palmer courses at PGA West - in La Quinta, Calif.
Stallings, a 27-year-old from Massachusetts, carded five birdies and two eagles - both on par-5s - Saturday at the Nicklaus course. The two-time Tour winner, who began with rounds of 66 and 65, reached 22-under 194 for his big margin over five players.
Tied for second at 199 are Roberto Castro (69), Stewart Cink (66), Charles Howell III (67), John Rollins (64) and Charley Hoffman (67). Castro and Hoffman posted their scores at La Quinta CC, while Cink and Howell put up their numbers at Palmer and Rollins at Nicklaus.
Cink spoke for the field when he said the conditions were ripe for going low. "Today the weather was just so perfect out there, there really is no way to improve the conditions," said the 2009 British Open champion, who had three birdies on the front nine and three more on the back. "It's the very best it could possibly be."
Sharing seventh at 200 were Sang-Moon Bae (64), Kevin Streelman (66), Kevin Stadler (68), Brian Gay (67), Ryan Palmer (66), Lee Willaims (68) and Billy Horschel (65). Also in that group is Brian Stuard, who fired the low round of the tournament, a 10-under 62 at Nicklaus Private.
Instead of finalizing the field for the last two rounds after 36 holes, the cut - set Saturday at 10-under par - in the Humana Challenge took place after three rounds, with the top-70 and ties playing in Sunday's final round at the Palmer course. Among those making the cut is the winner in last week's Sony Open, Russell Henley, who qualified for Sunday by reaching 12-under 204.
Phil Mickelson, making his 2013 season debut, also made the cut after a 66 at Palmer.
Saturday was "Military Appreciation Day" at the tournament, the former Bob Hope Classic. All active-duty military, reserve, veterans and retirees - along with their dependents - received free admission. The event featured speakers, including Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.), Hope's daughter Linda Hope, and PGA Tour veteran David Toms. A flyover by two Navy F-5 jets also took place.

Building Quality into Clinical Trials
To determine the safety and effectiveness of medical products, they must be studied in humans. In these studies, called clinical trials, volunteers help determine if the products should be approved for wider use in the general population.
Amid increasing concerns regarding the safety of medical products, and reports that the general public is losing confidence in clinical trials, FDA is promoting ways to build in quality from the start as well as ways to rescue on-going studies when issues occur.
Quality in clinical trials and the data produced is paramount to understanding how and if a drug product, medical device, or procedure works, as well as its potential risks. Equally important is the welfare of the volunteers.
To FDA, quality is characterized by the ability to effectively and efficiently answer the intended question about the benefits and risks of a medical product or procedure, while ensuring protection of human subjects.
FDA's bioresearch monitoring program (BIMO), which conducts on-site inspections of clinical studies, provides one method for ensuring the protection of human subjects and the integrity of the data. Program objectives include:
- Protection of the rights, safety, and welfare of subjects in FDA-regulated trials
- Determination of the accuracy and reliability of clinical trial data submitted to FDA in support of research or marketing applications; and
- Assessment of compliance with FDA's regulations governing the conduct of clinical trials, including those for informed consent and ethical review
However, you cannot inspect in quality; it must be built in from the start. Elements of a quality clinical study include:
- Scientifically valid and ethically sound experimental design
- Adequate protection of subjects rights, safety, and welfare
- Qualified personnel
- Adequate monitoring
- Current, complete, and accurate data
To learn more about FDA's BIMO program, elements of a quality clinical study, and associated training, compliance and data requirements, view the webinar: "Building Quality into Clinical Trials – an FDA Perspective," May 14, 2012, at 11AM ET.
