WEARING BAGGY RED-CHECKED PANTS, FLOPPY oversize shoes and a red rubber nose, John Dodge lopes into the hospital room, takes a quick look at 4-year-old Charlie Greener, who is suffering from lymphoma, and comes up with a novel treatment: Flailing a flyswatter, Dodge pretends to annihilate a huge black rubber bug he has slipped under Charlie's bedclothes. The procedure is a success: Charlie breaks out in a grin. "This is the only thing that brings a smile to his face," says Chuck Greener, the little boy's father. "Even in the worst of times, even if he's under medication, Charlie's mood lifts even just knowing the clowns will be coming."
Given Dodge's proficiency as J.J. the Clown, it's hard to imagine him doing anything else. But he does. Whenever this 43-year-old isn't administering "kitty cat scans," "red nose transplants" and "chocolate milk transfusions" at Washington's Children's National Medical Center, he is usually wearing a uniform of a different sort—as an accident reconstructionist for the Baltimore police department's traffic investigation unit, where his job is to examine the scene at some of the city's most grisly auto wrecks.
Some might find the dual careers incongruous. But for Dodge, being a man in blue—and a man in greasepaint—is the most rewarding twin calling he can imagine. "It's my yin and yang," he says in the tight-lipped fashion of someone who has seen more tragedy than he cares to recall. "It keeps me in balance."
Most days, Dodge, who has moonlighted as an amateur puppeteer and magician for 17 years, begins his shift with Baltimore's finest at 10 p.m. and often spends the next 8 hours either interviewing crash survivors—or notifying next of kin. Over Thanksgiving, for example, he was called to an accident in which a 19-year-old drunk driver had slammed his car into a set of concrete steps, killing himself and injuring four passengers. "I see those scenes," says Dodge, "and I try to get them out of my head."
The best way to do that, he finds, is to make the 45-minute drive to D.C.'s children's hospital, which he does as often as three times a week. There, on one recent morning, 4-year-old Jorden Ford of Cheverly, Md., stricken with leukemia and wary of clowns, refused to crack a smile—at least until J.J. pulled two spongy red noses out of thin air. "Thank you," Jorden's grateful mother, Winnie, told Dodge. "You made him smile today."
Known by the hospital staff for his corn-laden humor (noisemakers, an eye chart reading "I-C-U-R-A-Q-T"), Dodge will stoop to any level for a laugh. "And the kids love it," says Stacy Murphy, a registered nurse in the hospital's hematology-oncology unit. "They stop whatever they're doing to watch. Sometimes the kids who are in isolation get out of bed to stand by the door and look through the glass."
But for all the fun and games, J.J.'s work has a serious side. Dodge performs as part of a 50-person Clown Care Unit operated in 10 East Coast hospitals by New York City's not-for-profit Big Apple Circus, which requires that all prospective clowns undergo a six-week training program. "It takes a special kind of person to put aside death and sorrow," explains his wife, Cathy, 45, a sales director for a software firm and a part-time puppeteer. "When John goes out of a room and washes his hands, he says he's mentally washing the sadness away."
Nothing in Dodge's background pointed to a career in either police work or clowning. The son of an olive-oil company manager and a part-time barmaid, Dodge joined his hometown Baltimore police force at age 22. A few years later, a fellow cop, a part-time magician, introduced him to fake noses and magic tricks. "Once I put the face on, and the wardrobe, I fell in love with it," says Dodge. "I loved the whole sense of play, and I loved the feedback."
Seven years ago, as a favor to an acquaintance, Dodge put on his clown duds and made his first hospital visit, to cheer up a 7-year-old girl with a brain tumor. "I wanted to reach out and put a smile on her face," says Dodge. "I wanted her to have a few minutes of fun." After hearing about the Clown Care Unit from a friend, he signed up last year, but not without first receiving a warning. "You're going to see some rough things," one veteran told him.
"Listen," he replied, "in my line of work, I see people before they even make it to the hospital."
Today, when not spending time with Matthew, 16, and Megan, 12, his children from a first marriage that ended in 1995, Dodge can usually be found in his basement rec room honing his magic tricks and poring over his prized possession—a collection of joke books by the likes of Henny Youngman and Milton Berle.
Still, what he loves most is being onstage, especially if it's in a hospital. "The fact that I can go into a situation and touch the soul," he says. "That's a feeling that's hard to beat."

Traitors' Gate
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Many prisoners of the Tudors entered the Tower of London through the Traitors' Gate. The gate was built by Edward I, to provide a water gate entrance to the Tower, part of St. Thomas's Tower, which was designed to provide additional accommodation for the royal family.
In the pool behind Traitors' Gate was an engine that was used for raising water to a cistern on the roof of the White Tower. The engine worked originally by the force of the tide or by horsepower and eventually by steam. In 1724–6, it was adapted to drive machinery for boring gun barrels. It was removed in the 1860s.[citation needed]
The name Traitors' Gate has been used since before 1544, when that name is used on Anthonis van den Wyngaerde's panorama of London.[1] Prisoners were brought by barge along the Thames, passing under London Bridge, where the heads of recently executed prisoners were displayed on pikes. Queen Anne Boleyn and Sir Thomas More entered the Tower by Traitors' Gate.[2]

|Once the blocks are cooled they are ready for cutting. The correct name for this process is microtomy. On the right we can see a typical set-up for microtomy. In the foreground of the photo, is an electric cold-plate which is used to keep the blocks cool. It is much easier to section a cold block than a warm one. In the center we can see a warm water bath. On the right is a microtome. A microtome is, essentially, exactly the same as a butcher's meat slicing machine. The difference between these two types of machine is accuracy. A butcher's machine is designed to cut fresh soft meat in thickness of millimeters or centimeters while a microtome is designed to cut hard processed tissue at a thickness of only a few micrometers.
The microtome mechanism slowly moves a block into the path of an extremely sharp steel knife. Modern blades are disposable and last for around 20 to 30 blocks. Previously, and where disposable blades are unavailable, large heavy dangerous knives were/are used and these must be resharpened regularly. The block and blade are moved closer together until sectioning begins and advances are then tiny - in the order of 3 - 5"m. This results in a sliver of paraffin containing a slice of the tissue embedded in the block. In this picture you can see a "ribbon" of these sections floating on the water bath. The temperature of the water is around 40°C so that the paraffin spreads a little, straightening folds in the tissue. If the water is any hotter, the paraffin melts and the tissue is lost.

Deducting Reward Points Charitable Donations
|Email Print
One of the options in the Thank You reward network, Citi's cashback and reward network, is the ability to turn your points into donations to a set of charities on a 1 point to 1 penny basis so that 1000 points turns into a $10 donation. I always wondered whether you were allowed to deduct that as a charitable donation on your tax return and today I was treated to the answer in an article about reward credit cards (Smart Money).
The answer is no. The reason is because the charitable donation is actually made by the credit card company and not by you so you can't deduct it. In order to deduct it, you have to make the contribution yourself so you should request the cash back and then make the donation.
This also holds true for any reward programs you might be a part of, outside of a credit card company, where you can convert loyalty points into a charitable contribution. That stinks but it does make sense from a tracking perspective. Don't let it stop you from donating though, it's just one extra step!{ 2 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Satellite Facilities:

- Sitka FSS: (907)966-2221
Preflight Planning
A good weather briefing starts with developing an awareness of the overall "big picture" before attempting to get a detailed weather briefing. At many locations, you can learn about the big picture by listening to the Transcribed Weather Broadcast (TWEB), Telephone Information Briefing System (TIBS), Television Aviation Weather, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio, Television and Radio Weather Broadcasts, and newspaper weather maps.
When you are ready to call for a weather briefing make sure your planned route of flight is worked out and your flight plan partially completed before you make the telephone call. We urge you not to simply call and ask for a BRIEF. In order to ensure that your briefing can be tailored to your needs, give the briefer the following information:
- Type of weather briefing requested:
- Type of flight contemplated: VFR or IFR
- Aircraft's N-number or pilot's last name
- Type of aircraft
- Departure point
- Proposed route of flight
- Destination
- Proposed flight altitude(s)
- Estimated time of departure(ETD)
- Estimated time en-route(ETE)
After the conclusion of the briefing, if there is anything that you do not understand about the weather briefing, let the briefer know. If terminology is used that you do not understand, ask the briefer to explain it. A briefer who talks too fast should be asked to speak more slowly. The amount of detail in your weather briefing will depend upon how complicated the weather situation really is. Remember, if the weather situation really is "iffy", expect and insist upon a standard weather briefing. It is both your legal responsibility and your perogative.
Standard Weather Briefing
If you request that the briefer provide you with a standard weather briefing, the briefer will be following procedures and phraseology used by FAA personnel providing flight services. Specialists are directed not to read weather reports verbatim unless you specifically request they do. At a minimum, your preflight briefing will include the following elements:
- Adverse Conditions: The briefer will advise you of any significant meteorological and/or aeronautical information (e.g. thunderstorms, icing, turbulence, low ceilings, visibilities, or airport closures) along your proposed route of flight that might influence you, the pilot, to alter or cancel your proposed flight. Expect the briefer to emphasize conditions that are particularly significant, such as low level wind shear, embedded thunderstorms, reported icing, or frontal zones. When a VFR flight is proposed and actual, or forecast, conditions make VFR flight questionable, the briefer will describe the conditions and may advise you "VFR flight is not recommended ". If this occurs, or if you feel that the weather conditions are clearly beyond your capabilities you should consider terminating the briefing. This will free the briefer to handle other incoming calls. Of course the GO/NO GO decision is up to you, the pilot-in-command.
- Synopsis: A brief statement as to the cause of the weather (e.g. fronts or pressure systems) which might affect your proposed route of flight.
- Current Conditions: When your proposed time of departure is within two hours, the briefer will summarize current weather, including PIREP's, applicable to your route of flight.
- Enroute Forecast: Expect the briefer to summarize forecast conditions along your proposed route in a logical order, i.e., climb-out, enroute, and descent.
- Destination Forecast: The destination forecast for your planned ETA will be provided, including any significant changes within one hour before and after your planned time of arrival.
- Winds Aloft Forecast: The briefer will summarize forecast winds aloft for the proposed route. Temperature information will be provided on request.
- Notice to Airmen (NOTAMS): Current NOTAMs pertinent to your proposed route of flight will be provided. However, information on military training routes and areas (MTRs and MOAs), along with published NOTAMs and Special Notices, must be specifically requested.
- Request for Pilot Reports: Due to the mountainous terrain and scarcity of weather reporting stations in Alaska; the briefer will request that you provide pilot reports for enroute conditions.
Abbreviated Briefing
Request an abbreviated weather briefing when you need information to supplement mass disseminated data, update a previous briefing, or when you need only one or two specific items. Provide the briefer with appropriate background information, the time you received the previous information, and/or the specific items needed. You should indicate the source of the information already received so that the briefer can limit the briefing to the information that you have not received, and/or appreciable changes in meteorological conditions since your previous briefing. To the extent possible, the briefer will provide the information in the sequence shown for a Standard Briefing. If you request only one or two specific items, the briefer will advise you if adverse conditions are present or forecast. Details on these conditions will be provided upon your request.
Outlook Briefing
You should request an outlook weather briefing whenever your proposed time of departure is six or more hours from the time of the briefing. The briefer will provide available forecast data applicable to the proposed flight. This type of briefing is provided for planning purposes only. You should obtain a Standard Weather Briefing prior to departure in order to obtain such items as current conditions, updated forecasts, winds aloft and NOTAMs. If you are needing an outlook briefing for conditions three or more days in the future, contact the National Weather Service Forecaster.
Flight Plans
If, after having received a briefing, you decide to go; please file a Flight Plan. One thing you can do to simplify your flight plan filing is to put your aircraft and personal information on file here. The master flight plan program was established for the owners/operators of aircraft in Alaska. A master flight plan is intended to record static information on an aircraft, not on a pilot. Only one master flight plan, therefore, will be accepted per aircraft from the owner/operator. Master flight plan files are maintained by the FSS's for aircraft based within their respective area of responsibility or Hub area. A master flight plan, on file with any Alaska Region FSS, will be accepted by all Alaska Region FSS's. Aircraft owners/operators may file a master flight plan with an FSS in person, online form submission, mail, phone, FAX, or radio. FSS's will forward master flight plan information to the appropriate FSS. Upon receipt of master flight plan information, the FSS enters the information into their master flight plan file. You may begin to use your master flight plan after receiving notice that it has been entered into the FSS's master flight plan file.
NOTE: Aircraft owners/operators are responsible for ensuring the master flight plan information on file for their aircraft is current. Changes in master flight plan data should be reported to the appropriate facility immediately. Failure to provide updated information could cause unnecessary delays in search and rescue activities. Pilots who do not update master flight plan information may be excluded from the program.
Just a thought about Local Area Flight Plans: If you file a flight plan for the local area, i.e. within a 25 mile radius of the airport of departure; and should become overdue, then the ratio of aircraft size to search area size is 1 to 145,167,050. Try to be as specific as possible when describing your route of flight. This will reduce the initial search area greatly.
Inflight Weather Briefing
You are encouraged to obtain your preflight briefing by telephone, or in person before departure; as this will reduce congestion on the radio frequencies. During normal daily operations the specialists at the Juneau FSS Inflight positions are monitoring from 12 to over 60 frequencies. When traffic is high, it is not uncommon to have five or more aircraft calling simultaneously for services. We do our best to handle all of these requests as rapidly as possible and your cooperation is requested. In addition, our frequency outlets extend from the Dixon entrance to Naked Island including Middleton Island, Valdez, Yakutat, and Skagway. Therefore, when calling Flight Service via the radio, identify not only yourself, but also the radio outlet you are calling over. In those cases where you need to obtain a preflight briefing, or an update to a previous briefing by radio, you should contact the nearest FSS to obtain this information. After communications have been established, advise the specialist of the type of briefing you require:
Provide the appropriate background information. You will be provided information as specified in the above paragraphs, depending upon the type of briefing requested. Feel free to ask for any information that you or the briefer may have missed. It helps to save your questions until the briefing has been completed. This enables the briefer to present the information in a logical sequence, and reduces the chance of important items being overlooked. Enroute and destination weather updates are also available by monitoring the TWEB on selected NDB's or VOR's, listening to the Airport Terminal Information Service (ATIS), on-site contract weather observers, and/or monitoring the appropriate AWOS/ASOS.
Centers and terminal area facilities broadcast a SIGMET or CWA alert once on all frequencies upon receipt. To the extent possible, centers and terminal area facilities will issue pertinent information on weather and assist pilots in avoiding hazardous weather areas when requested.
The FAA Alaska Region has developed a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) program. The purpose is to provide both aircraft and vehicular traffic a common frequency for use when operating on an uncontrolled airport. Use of the CTAF is highly recommended. Feel free to contact the tie-in FSS for current runway and NOTAM information before switching to the CTAF. If you operate into or out of an airport and find the field condition hazardous or different than reported please advise the tie-in FSS.
Weather Information Sources Used by Briefers
Briefers draw from all available weather sources and other aeronautical information to summarize data applicable to the proposed flight.
Area Forecasts(FA)
Area Forecasts are 12-hour aviation forecasts plus an 18-hour categorical outlook giving general descriptions of cloud cover, weather conditions, and potentially hazardous weather which could impact aircraft operations. Alaska Area Forecasts, each covering a broad geographical area are issued four times a day (6 am, noon, 6 pm, & midnight local time).
Heights of cloud bases, tops, freezing level, icing, and turbulence are referenced to mean sea level (MSL) unless otherwise stated. Ceilings are given in heights above ground level (AGL). The causes of LIFR, IFR, or MVFR are indicated by ceiling, restrictions to visibility, or both. If winds (or gusts) of 25 knots or greater are forecast for the outlook period, the word WIND is included. Example: IFR CIG RA WND. Expect IFR conditions due to forecast ceilings below 1,000 feet and/or visibility below three with rain. The wind is expected to be 25 knots or greater.
Non Convective
- More than 50% probability of occurring, but for less than half of the period.
- Conditions forecast to occur in less than 25% of the forecast area.
- Less than 3,000 square miles or widely dispersed.
- 5 to 25 nautical miles beyond the center of the runway complex.
- Less than 3,000 square miles or widely separated in time.
- Less than 25% of the area affected.
- 25-54% of the area affected.
- More than 55% of the area affected.
- (Low IFR) Ceiling less than 500 feet and/or visibility less than 1 statute mile.
- Ceiling 500 feet to less than 1,000 feet and/or visibility 1 to less than 3 miles.
- (Marginal VFR) Ceiling 1,000 to 3,000 feet and/or visibility 3 to 5 miles.
- Ceiling greater than 3,000 feet and visibility greater than 5 statute miles.
METAR (Tutorial)
METAR (Meteorological Aviation Routine Weather) reports are issued hourly. A SPECI (Unscheduled Special Observation) is issued based on changes in the weather. These reports replaced what we knew as Record and Special observations (SA's and SP's) back in 1998. The major changes are in the order that the elements are reported and the use of ICAO identifiers for the Weather and Obstructions to vision field. Temperatures and dewpoints are reported in Celsius. The order of fields is as listed:
- Type of report (METAR or SPECI)
- Station identifier
- Date and time of report
- Report modifier (AUTO or COR)
- Wind
- Visibility
- Runway visual range
- Weather and obstructions to vision
- Sky condition
- Temperature
- Altimeter
- Remarks
Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF)
Aerodrome forecasts are issued for specific airports and generally cover a five nautical mile radius from the center of the runway complex. Alaska TAF Forecasts are issued four times a day (0000Z, 0600Z, 1200Z, 1800Z.) Each forecast is amended according to prescribed criteria. They contain information about expected ceilings, cloud heights and coverage, visibility, weather, obstructions to vision, and surface winds. They are valid for a 24 hour period gradually transitioning to 36 hours.
- Ceilings are identified by "BKN", "OVC", "VV" (indefinite ceiling).
- Cloud heights in terminal forecasts are always reported in hundreds of feet above ground level (AGL).
- Visibility is reported in statute miles (or fractions thereof up to 2 statute miles), and "P6SM" if the visibility is greater than 6 statute miles.
- Weather and obstructions to vision are displayed in standard METAR weather contractions.
- Surface wind is reported in tens of degrees from true north in knots and is omitted when less than 10 knots.
Translation-Juneau aerodrome (TAF) forecast for the 27th day of the month valid from 0000Z until 0000Z. The forecast wind is from 340 degrees at 15 knots with gusts to 25 knots. The visibility is five statute miles with light snow showers and mist. The sky condition is forecast to be 1,000(AGL) scattered and ceiling 1,800(AGL) broken with a 40% chance between 0100Z and 0600Z visibility 1/2 statute mile light snow showers and fog with an indefinite ceiling 800(AGL). Between 0700Z and 0800Z gradually changing to wind from 350 degrees at 12 knots and visibility more than 6 statute miles with the ceiling 5,000(AGL) broken. After 0800Z the forecast wind from 350 degrees at 12 knots visibility more than 6 statue miles visibility and 6,000(AGL) scattered.
Wind and Temperature Aloft Forecast(FD)
Wind and temperature aloft forecasts contain upper air velocity and temperature forecasts, and are issued twice a day. Winds from in-between levels can be calculated by interpolation. Wind aloft forecasts are a good indicator of where the weather is coming from. Comparing the current weather with the winds aloft will give an indication of the direction weather is moving. Temperatures aloft are given in Celsius. Example:
Translation - Juneau winds aloft forecast on the 26th day between 2100Z and 0600Z for six thousand feet is 220 degrees true at seven knots and the temperature is minus 12 degrees Celsius.
Inflight advisories(WS, WST, WA, CWA)
- An advisory of hazardous weather conditions of concern to all aircraft and is issued as necessary. Updates are every four hours from initial time of transmission. SIGMETs warn of severe conditions of importance to all aircraft (e.g., severe icing, severe turbulence, dust storms, sandstorms, volcanic ash, squall lines, embedded thunderstorms, tornados, hail 3/4 inch or larger and low level wind shears). WDSPRD(widespread) indicates conditions forecast to occur in more than 3000 square miles of the forecast area.
- An advisory of hazardous conditions, mainly of concern to smaller aircraft. These are issued every six hours as part of the area forecast and when conditions warrant an amendment. AIRMETs concern weather of less severity than SIGMETs, detailing conditions which may be hazardous to aircraft having limited capability because of lack of equipment, instrumentation, or pilot qualifications. Criteria consist of Moderate ice and/or turbulence, sustained surface wind of 30 knots or more, ceilings less than 1000 feet and/or visibility less than three miles affecting 50% or more of the forecast area.
- An unscheduled inflight flow control involving air traffic and aircrew advisory. CWA's are considered as "nowcast," rather than a flight planning product. They normally provide a narration of conditions existing at the time of issuance and a forecast for the next 2 hours.
PIREPs (UA)
We rely heavily on pilot weather reports due to rapidly changing and sometimes hazardous weather conditions over long stretches of area where no weather reporting stations exist. Unforseen weather phenomena can also be a hazard within relatively short distances between airports due to unique terrain features characteristic of southeast Alaska. The best way to eliminate or at least reduce enroute weather surprises is to give and obtain pilot reported inflight weather observations, or PIREP's. PIREP's are often the only means available for gathering some information (i.e. cloud tops, actual icing and turbulence conditions, etc.). A PIREP gives a pilot valuable information on weather conditions actually being experienced inflight by other pilots. This information supplements data reported by ground stations. When giving PIREPs one idea is to follow the format of an hourly weather report using VOR radial/DME or Latitude/Longitude to identify your location. Giving the trend of the weather is also valuable. Pilot reports are utilized in the receiving facility immediately and disseminated to other FAA facilities, NWS, the internet, and other pilots as soon as possible after receipt. A qood PIREP consists of the following:
- Your type of aircraft, altitude, and location (ideally in reference to a VOR).
- Cloud cover including bases and tops.
- Turbulence and icing.
- Visibility restrictions.
- Outside air temperature in Centigrade.
- Other significant weather data (i.e. lowering or improving conditions).

Prefabricated everything
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile...That's the tune for the thousands of men, women and kids—gluing, soldering, hammering, carefully following directions—who each year become cabinetmakers, gunsmiths and nearly every other kind of part-time craftsmen. They are the kit builders and putterers who savor nothing more than putting tab A into slot A and then inserting retaining clip B and folding. By doing it themselves, these follow-the-dots artisans fabricate utilitarian items that not only work but also have about them the personal feel of objets d'art. In times when replacement parts cost plenty and hired labor even more, these folks obviously save money too.
With patience and the right instructions you can make just about anything with a kit. For example, your wardrobe: knickers of mountain cloth ($19.95) and reversible orange/camouflage vest ($35.95 in down, $19.95 in Hollofil II, from Frostline Kits, Frostline Circle, Denver, Colo. 80241), plus moccasins ($8.29-$12.95 from Tandy, 950 W. Cordova Rd., Santa Fe, N.Mex. 87501). Wake to the tone of a digital alarm ($29.95 from Heathkit, Benton Harbor, Mich. 49022) or check the barometer on your computerized weather station ($399.95, Heathkit). Heat a bit of breakfast on your cast-iron wood stove (about $300 from Waterford Ironfounders, Inc., 2801 N.W Nela St., Portland, Oreg. 97210) and buzz off to your weekend retreat, a replica of Henry David Thoreau's $28 Walden cabin ($2,495 for plans, frame, two 24-pane windows and a handcrafted door, $1,023 extra for loft, cathedral ceiling, flooring and pine-board siding for the exterior, from House of Tho-reau, P.O. Box 91, Concord, Mass. 01742). Once there, shoot the outdoors with a large-format view camera ($129.95 from Calumet Photographic, 890 Supreme Dr., Bensenville, Ill. 60106), or strum your dulcimer ($37.95 for the simplest, in birch and black walnut, $53.95 for a more expensive model, from Cripple Creek Dulcimers, 740 Manitou Ave., Manitou Springs, Colo. 80829). Do a little target shooting with your black-powder rifle (about $225 from Allen Firearms Manufacturing Company, 1107 Pen Rd., Santa Fe, N.Mex. 87501), but make sure local laws permit ownership. Black powder may be obsolete, but it is still as deadly as it was at Bull Run. After that, have a beer, your choice of light or dark ($29.95 for the beer-making kit from Semplex, U.S.A., 4805 Lyn-dale Ave., North Minneapolis, Minn. 55430).
How good are the things made from kits? "They range from the very awful to the superb," says Jeffrey Feinman, 38, who inspected some 5,000 kits and assembled many of them for his 1975 book The Catalog of Kits (now, alas, out of print). "Only a dozen or so companies have really inferior products," he says. "Our experience indicates mail-order operators to be very ethical and more than fair." Feinman cautions, however, that many kits are complex, "not for a rainy afternoon," and emphasizes "buying any kit more elaborate than a balsa glider should be done with care." Check the specs carefully, write the manufacturer for more details, shop around in the ads before sending off for that harpsichord you've always wanted. Feinman says do-it-yourselfers fail for two reasons: (1) lack of patience and (2) lack of proper tools and working conditions. "Have the self-control to stop and wait until you have the tool to finish the job," says Feinman, "and you will be rewarded by the quality of the product." Not to mention the proud glow of owning something different. As Mrs. Margaret Northway of San Ramon, Calif. puts it of a personal project that became the prototype for a kit she and her husband, Don, distribute: "When we were done, we couldn't believe the reaction of people when they saw it and viewed it as a piece of beautiful art." Mrs. Northway's art: full-size replicas of King Tut's 76-by-22-inch sarcophagus. (The kits, which can be customized with an individual's face in relief, start at $2,500 and can be ordered from the Northways, 3356 Estero Dr., San Ramon, Calif. 94583.) "I would never want to be buried in something as impersonal as a conventional casket," says Mrs. Northway.
Another reward, many kit builders believe, is quality often unobtainable otherwise. Said Sister Carolyn, a Livonia, Mich. Catholic nun who helped build the equivalent of a $12,000 computer system for her school for half that amount: "We feel that we can do a better job than some of the assembly lines, and it's been fun." Twice blessed are they who make things from kits.

Masked men burst into Family Dollar in Reading, empty safe, registers of money
Employees locked themselves inside office until robbers left, police say
A trio of masked men made off with money after smashing through the front door of a store in Reading, police said.
The robbery happened around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday at the Family Dollar in the 300 block of North 4th Street in the Centre Park neighborhood.
The three men, one of them armed with a shotgun, smashed through the front door of the store after closing time, sending employees scurrying to the manager's office, where they locked themselves inside, police said.
At one point, police said the robbers knocked on the manager's door, but the employees didn't answer.
The robbers then helped themselves to cash from the safe and registers before leaving the store, police said.
No one was injured.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913. A cash reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

What We Do
Additive Manufacturing
Through industrial 3D printing, known as additive manufacturing, we are bringing people closer to products to solve challenges in new ways. Imagine a world in which we can additively manufacture a full-size cargo plane or quickly produce a new organ to save someone's life.
We are pushing the limits of additive technology and bringing design engineers to the factory floor to produce parts, layer by layer, that previously could not be built. Once built, we are qualifying these parts to be used in real-world applications.
Additive manufacturing taps into the creative possibilities of the mind, allowing our engineers to manufacture components quickly and affordably with design geometries that have never been possible. Creativity is the cornerstone of breakthrough technology, and we are on the leading edge in this new wave of advanced manufacturing.

Teens' anger may be more than moodiness
Q My 19-year-old son is always angry. Is this a normal developmental stage, or should I be concerned?
A The late teenage years are tough. Childhood is over. The protection offered by home and parents will soon end. Teens know they will have to make it on their own. Becoming a part of the society of teens around them is very important. And there are big challenges ahead: starting college, entering the workforce, living away from home for the first time. So it's not uncommon for teens to be moody, and that includes periodic outbursts of anger that they didn't have when they were younger.
But when a teen gets angrier as time goes by -- or more rigid and defensive -- it's cause for concern. Angry outbursts are a sign that your son is suffering and could use some help, if he'll accept it.
Here are some things to consider:
- Irritability aside, is your son showing other symptoms of depression? Is he having trouble enjoying life? Sleeping too little or too much? Gaining or losing a lot of weight? Have low energy or poor concentration?
- Is there any sign your son might be using an illegal substance? Irritability or changes in mood can be the result of substance use.
- Is your son irritable with everyone or just with you? It is common for children of any age to be intolerant of parents' input.
Is your son going through a crisis, challenge or developmental transition? Maybe there is a specific problem at the root of his testy behavior that needs attention. Even if he won't talk to you about this, someone else may be able to get to the bottom of the problem.
There is no guarantee that your son will talk to you. Often a parent needs the help of someone else to understand and help reduce a teen's anger.

I went off the pill right as I started eating primally, and it was one of the best decisions ever. Im a fan of coitus interuptus, but not at the last moment as that can be rather risky. I think cillakats advice is best though.
Also, just as an FYI, there are two types of IUDs, one is copper and one goes by the brand name Mirena. The Mirena one includes a low dose of hormones similar to the Pill, while the copper one has no hormones and simply works because the copper repels sperm. Both are equally effective. But I always think it's important to know the options you have available.
I went off the pill right as I started eating primally, and it was one of the best decisions ever. Im a fan of coitus interuptus, but not at the last moment as that can be rather risky. I think cillakats advice is best though.
Why NOT have kids?
1) Have lots of babies
2) Buy farm
3) Use said offspring for cheap labor
4) ???
5) Profit!
PB Stats:
Started 5/10/10
Starting Weight: 215
Current Weight (1/25/11): 180
Goal Weight: 160
Since going primal, I'm not tired and don't have migraines, so I'm wondering if the CW eating was the problem in the first place.
My boyfriend and I have been together 7 years, and we can get by without the hormonal birth control, so I'm wondering if I should go off it...
Cillacat yes, thats what I tried to say or I just understand your post as saying the same as I was trying to say.
Kara. Ive read that when ovulation occurs the egg is not yet fertile, it ripens as it passes through the ovary but will be fertile only 8 hours before reaching the uterus and try to fasten itself to the blood filled secretion. If the egg only has its own 23 chromosomes it releases no hormone to prevent release of that blood filled secretion and the woman will start her menstruation. Double ovulation can occur for a lot of reasons. With my mother it was a miscarriage (so its hormonal I guess). Im a fraternal twin. Double ovulation happens most often with 10-12 days apart. But thats not to say that the body cant do something thats not in the current textbooks rule of thumb. When I became pregnant with my son it was because of a double ovulation. I didnt expect an ovulation and the counting method had worked for 1½ years until I had an ovulation 6 days before expected and one more 11 days after that. Back then I could feel an ovulation. Like a really bad sting to which ever side was releasing an egg. After giving birth that ability disappeared. I dont know what cervical mucous is in my language, we dont use all Latin in medical talk, but Im guessing its the secretion that give that tell tale sign that ovulation is pending? I use that method now as a guideline because I can no longer feel the egg release it self.
How long sperm can survive is all about the man. Depending on the conditions (and here were probably also talking cervical mucous?) sperms lifetime is everywhere between 2 sec. and 6-7 days (tested on a farmer, and I believe he still holds the record). Some say that its possible to taste sperm quality. The saltier the taste the better the swim effect
Ovulation can also happen spontaneous if the woman gets really, really exited and in lack of a bigger vocabulary horny.
My opinion on birth control is still everything with hormones in it: stay far away from it! The body wasnt made to be force fed manipulated hormones so nothing good can come from it.
If Im not clear in my explanations please forgive me, English is not my native tongue.
@MountainDew: Hmm.. Maybe not such a bad idea..
I think I should be corageuos enough to discuss the matter with my doctor. Although I have a strong feeling that he will not quite see my point of changing birth control method when I am not currently experiencing any troubles with my pill.. I'll also see if I can get the hold of the recommended book.
difficult decision to make as a woman. you could either use condoms, pull out (its not effective at all), or a host of chemicals that are probably bad for you too. i went off because i got very bad food poisioning and i couldnt keep anything down anyways. so i stopped taking it after the end of the inactive section. i feel alot better and more energetic, and my libido is higher. i dont get headaches as often. also im in that "if i get pregnant it happens but we arent trying" phase since ive been married for 6 years now and im getting closer to 30.

From the Department of Pediatrics, State University of New York at Stony Brook (Drs Rohan and Golombek); Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY (Dr Rosenthal); and the Department of Radiology, Childrens Hospital, Los Angeles, Calif (Dr Wood).
A 9-YEAR-OLD GIRL presented with a 5-day history of a mild frontal headache. She had undergone a craniotomy 1 year earlier for a right frontal and intraventricular low-grade astrocytoma. At surgery, a right ventricular shunt was placed for hydrocephalus. Two months postoperatively, the shunt-dependent child required shunt revision for a loculated right lateral ventricle. The patient was receiving no medications, had no recent history of trauma, and was doing well in school.
A follow-up magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was obtained 2 weeks prior to presentation and demonstrated stable ventricular size. The study was degraded by a magnetic susceptibility artifact. Findings from physical examination were unremarkable. The patient was afebrile, vital signs were stable, and she was neurologically normal. The surgical incisions were well healed, and shunt tubing was palpable subcutaneously along the right lateral aspect of the neck; the right parietal shunt reservoir pumped and filled well.
Radiographs of the head and neck were obtained to evaluate the shunt and better define any surgical hardware that might have affected the MRI (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Radiographs were interpreted as showing discontinuity of the shunt at 2 locations. The child was referred to a neurosurgeon for evaluation of headache believed to be related to shunt disconnection or malfunction.

Family Vacation Day Two: Vertigo and VomitCasey Mullins
Day two! Free day to hang out and enjoy whatever Orlando has to offer before heading off to Universal tomorrow and Disney World the day after that.
Only it wasn't.
I mean, it kind of was. You see, Cody has a terrible case of vertigo (which is another one of those things I thought people made up, like anxiety and pneumonia — until I ended up with both.) I haven't seen Cody this sick in a long, long time. He slept (or stayed still) for 95% of the day while I attempted to entertain the little girls. First we went to a little park, but thanks to Florida and all the humidity the slides were all water slides and everyone walked away with a very wet spot on their butt. Next we tried to do lunch and another park, lunch was successful — the park had some issues. After ending up in a very dodgy part of town I realized I put 'street' instead of 'road' into my GPS. Once corrected we ended up at a lovely park with a playground and gardens that made my kids squeal with glee.
Until Vivi went wonky on a slide and busted her lip.
After some hugs, kisses, and bunny snuggles we were back in business (aside from the terrible tantrums caused by Vivi's refusal to nap.)
After I tucked the little girls in, Cody came out long enough to eat something (which didn't work out so well) then went back to bed. We'll be headed to the hospital in the morning. So, day two. Not the best, but also not the worst considering the -47 degree windchill temperature back home right now.
Family Vacation Tally Day Two:
Bodily Fluids: 2 (Total for the week: 2)
Crying Fits: 4 (Total for the week: 5)
Best! Day! Ever! Declarations: 0
Tantrums: 2 (Total for the week: 2)
Things Eaten Off the Ground: 1 (Total for the week: 2)

Elizabeth Edwards has received some upbeat news regarding her battle with cancer – that it can likely be treated with anti-estrogen drugs, she says.
Rather than having the most aggressive "triple-negative" cancer, as her doctors had originally feared, testing proved that she had two of the three key hormonal receptors estrogen and progesterone.
The initial diagnosis was "slightly estrogen heavy," she said, but this time it's a strong marker and she also has the second marker.
"I consider that a good sign. It means there are more medications which I can expect to be responsive," Elizabeth, 57, told the Associated Press during a campaign stop with her husband, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Tuesday.
Elizabeth also voiced her frustration with the speculation by others about her potential lifespan and reports that she's likely to die within five years.
"I don't care. I'm going to fight exactly as hard if they tell me that I've got 15 years or if I've got 30 years," she said. "I'm still going to fight to get rid of this if they tell me I've got 15 minutes... It doesn't matter what the prognosis is. So it's not an important piece of information to me."
On March 22, the Edwardses announced that Elizabeth had had a recurrence of cancer, this time incurable and in her bone. Having previously suffered from breast cancer that was believed to be in remission, the disease had "moved from the breast to the bone" and she is "no longer curable," said her husband.
Despite the setback, the couple said they had no intention of ending his presidential bid because doctors told her that the campaign would not interfere with her treatment.
On Friday, the AP reports, Elizabeth had her first post-diagnosis visit with the doctor, from which she emerged encouraged.
Pointing out a large bruise on the back of her hand and another on her forearm from her IV, Elizabeth said she received an initial course of a bone-building drug. In addition, she's taking the aromatase inhibitor Femara and is not having to undergo chemotherapy.
Besides, Elizabeth said, the development of drugs like Femara is one of the many reasons why she dismisses the discussions about her life expectancy.
"Femara didn't exist five years ago," she noted. "I don't expect to get yesterday's medicine. If I can help it, I'd like to get tomorrow's medicine."

Is It Time to Hire a Chief Legal Strategist?
- Blog
- Read Time: 3 min
Here's a strategic angle that most businesses don't think about: how they can use the law to secure strategic business goals. Leading companies such as the Walt Disney Company have managed to deploy their legal departments to shape the legal environment in order to secure long-term competitive advantages. But approaching legal issues in sophisticated and creative ways isn't generally a specialty of most C-suite executives. That's where a "chief legal strategist" comes in.

Did you mean?Try your search again
In town on business with evenings off. Scored a couple tickets to the ball games this week. Is it safe to walk back to my hotel...the Sheraton...after the game?
Hi All,
I once went away for business and my hotel randomly had many floor to ceiling mirrors surrounding the bed and a ceiling mirror above the bed. I told my girlfriend about this and she loved the idea. We'd like to find something like this in Toronto (or GTA) for a romantic getaway. I've had no luck on Google trying to find this at various hotels in the city. Anyone know of a hotel in the area that has this to offer? Preferably for under $200 a night.
Thanks in advance.
is anyone can help me how to reach the cliff in SCARBOROUGH BLUFFS? I've seen so many pics in IG and its really beautiful but some caption I'm seeing they got fined! is it allowed to take photos there or not? I'm visiting Toronto for 7 days and I want to include that in my itinerary. im statying in near to union station and traveling by public transport not by car.
I´m going to Toronto in October? Where in Toronto do you recommend me to stay, which part of the city?
I´m going out travelling for 1,5 week on October.
But I can´t decide where to go... Today I was thinking of Toronto but I´m a little bit concerned about the weather. So my question is, how is it in the beginning of October?
I wan´t a nice climat, not to cold, windy and rainy.
I´m going to Toronto five nights in the beginning of October. (after World Cup)
A trip to Niagara Falls is a must, but is it worth taking a night there? Is there anything else to do, except watching the waterfalls?
Any hiking trails? Nature? Or du you recomment a day trip?
I´m also interesting in visiting a winery, so maybe I can combine these two? Any suggestions?
I will not have access to a car and I´m travelling alone.
The hotel prices was also very high in Toronto so with a night outside the city my average hotel price will decrease :-)
I have a reservation at Le Germain Hotel Maple Leaf Square and one at Grand Hotel & Suites. Haven´t decided yet. Any thoughts about these two?

Biodiesel is widely used as a renewable and clean-burning alternative to mineral diesel and can replace it in most uses.
Its most common use is in transport where it fuels cars, buses and lorries, delivering benefits both to the environment and to vehicle engines. It improves engine lubrication, it burns more completely thereby reducing emissions, it's virtually sulphur free and can increase engine life and fuel economy.
So it's no wonder that it is playing a significant role in reducing reliance on finite supplies of fossil fuels, in reducing carbon dioxide emissions and in many businesses carbon reduction strategies.
Biodiesel can be produced from a wide range of oil-based materials. Our raw materials are tallow, a residue from the meat industry, and used cooking oil (UCO) which is a waste from the catering sector. Using feedstocks that are wastes and residues of other industries means that as well as delivering significant greenhouse gas savings over mineral diesel, our biodiesel is also highly sustainable. In fact it is the most sustainable of any of the current commercial biofuels.
Our sophisticated plant pre-treats the feedstock to ensure that moisture, contaminants and other insoluble materials are removed. Oils then move to a pre-esterification phase, then onto full transesterification. After that, our by-products of glycerine and fertiliser are drawn off. The resultant raw biodiesel is washed and then purified by distillation to ensure that the quality of the final product meets European and British Standards.
Argent Energy is the only plant in the UK to use distillation technology. And it is this which ensures that our fuel is a homogenous, clear and very clean biodiesel

How about 99-6? Leading off a column with the number above on how Amarillo High can beat Tascosa tonight in the 57th meeting of this storied rivalry game won't have AHS coach Mel Maxfield doing backflips.
OK, not sure Maxfield — like myself — has attempted a standing backflip in fear of the guaranteed result.
But the point is simple.
Maxfield has put a stamp on this emotional game that can't be denied in his first three years at AHS.
■ In 2010, the Sandies won, 17-3, in a dogfight.
■ In 2011, the Sandies ripped Tascosa, 34-3.
■ In 2012, the Sandies left no doubt which team was better, winning 48-0.
The math says AHS 99, Tascosa 6. Tascosa has yet to visit the end zone against the Maxfield-coached Sandies.
Mel, I know. I know what you're thinking.
The more those numbers are put in print, the more motivation, inspiration and just flat-out mad Tascosa's coaches and players get.
Exactly why I bring to light of all the games played in the Maxfield vs. Tascosa coach Ken Plunk history, tonight is the one where the past has to be forgotten by the AHS players.
For starters, many new players are in key roles on both sides of the sidelines.
For instance, AHS doesn't have a third-year starter at quarterback like last year with Gabe Rodriguez. That leadership will be missed this early in the season.
That's nothing against AHS' duo quarterbacks of Issac Garcia and Matt Ortega. Both those guys can — and will — get the job done tonight
But the main thread to remember is Tascosa wants no part of a touchdown-less game.
And I think the Rebs will score a touchdown as their option offense is much more refined over a year ago with Tucker Davidson and Jacob Biggers running the show at quarterback.
However, I also believe Amarillo High under Maxfield has the knack to handle this rivalry game.
This game is won or lost during those 48 minutes on the field. But these players for a week hear pretty much nothing but AHS vs. Tascosa. From the time they eat breakfast, to walking the hallways during school, to all week at practice, and then dadgum AHS-THS thing even creeps even into their dreams.
Walking down the ramp with 10,000 to 15,000 people in Dick Bivins Stadium tonight proves this is not just another game. It's the most enjoyable game these two teams will play all year.
The Maxfield-coached Sandie teams I've seen the last three years handle it all.
So I guarantee two things will happen tonight:
1) Don't be late or you will miss a huge chunk of this game with two running teams on display.
2) AHS will play with poise and not freak out when Tascosa goes on a nine-minute drive, scoring the first touchdown against AHS since 2009.
AHS win this game with a better defense.

UNEP Reports on the US Administration's Appointment of Climate Envoy
27 January 2009: The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has reported on the Obama Administration's appointment of Todd Stern as Special Envoy on climate change. In this position, the former senior White House negotiator in the Kyoto and Buenos Aires climate talks will be the chief climate negotiator in UN and other climate sessions.
Speaking as his appointment was announced, Stern stated that "the time for denial, delay and dispute is over." He emphasized the need to tackle the climate change challenge with "a response that is genuinely global." In addition, President Obama is considering allowing California to implement stricter car emission regulations and is pushing the US auto industry to improve the fuel-efficiency of its fleets.

You will spend months trying to find the right dress, makeup, and hairstyle, but don't forget that your hands will garner plenty of wedding-day attention and that your feet should look sandal-perfect until the last day of the honeymoon.
When to Start
Try to begin your hand- and foot-care regimen at least six months before the wedding. Start by looking for manicurists and pedicurists at nail salons, spas, full-service beauty salons, or department stores. Visit the same person weekly or every other week for manicures and monthly for pedicures. Keep in mind that each service takes about 30 minutes; it's wise to allow another 15 minutes for the polish to dry. If both services are scheduled for the same visit, the feet are usually done first so that the toenails will have extra drying time before the shoes are replaced.
The consensus for wedding-day fingernails is pale shades. "The contrast between a white dress and a dark fingernail is too strong," says Rodica Badescu, manicurist and pedicurist at Mario Badescu Skin Care in New York City. The trend now is pink washes, white washes, and pale-pastel shimmers versus the chalkier French manicure.
When it comes to feet, the summer bride who sports a sandal or open-toe shoe may want to match her pale fingers to toes, but there are no hard-and-fast rules. Lisa Jachno, a manicurist in Los Angeles, even suggests a pale-azure shimmer for a playful "something blue."
Skin Care
For brides with very dry skin, extra professional care may be in order. Victoria Gheorghias, an esthetician at Frederic Fekkai Beaute de Provence in New York City, recommends professional sea-salt scrubs to exfoliate dead skin and improve circulation to hands and feet, or paraffin-wax treatments, which use a warm wax enriched with vitamin E to restore a healthy glow.
At-Home Pre-wedding Maintenance
To keep hands and feet in the best shape between appointments, Ji Baek, owner of Rescue Aromatherapy Nail Spa in New York City, suggests a simple regimen: "A little extra time spent each day at home will yield the greatest results. If you are spending 15 minutes a week on your nails now, spend 10 minutes a day pre-wedding." After you exfoliate, make sure to moisturize your skin. Once a week, apply oil or balm to your hands and feet and cover them in plastic wrap, or wrap them in warm, wet towels to trap moisture in.
To care for cuticles, simply push them back with your fingernails after showering. "Any kind of trimming should only be done by a professional," advises Baek. Technicians should also be the ones to do any filing, except for fixing the occasional snag or tear. "Keeping nails at a manageable length, about one-quarter inch over the tip, helps to minimize breaking and splitting," advises Jachno. In addition, Badescu recommends always keeping "at least one coat of polish on your nails to protect them from daily wear, soaps, and detergents." If you don't want to apply color, use a protein-enriched nail strengthener twice a week, but don't overuse it; too much can make your nails brittle.
With at-home upkeep and regular salon maintenance, your nails and skin should be in excellent shape for your wedding. A day or two beforehand, enjoy the pampering of your last pre-wedding manicure and pedicure, and leave yourself plenty of extra time for drying. After all that time and care, you don't want to risk even the slightest smudge.

Here are some valuable FREE and "Almost Free"
scripting resources to assist you.
#1 - Write your scripts using Mount/\Commands
..Mount/\Commands are extensions to the "builtin"
commands and utilities that are present on
ALL INSTALLATIONS of all NT-based operating
systems including Windows NT4 SP6a+, 2000,
XP and Server 2003.
They are constructed entirely of builtin commands
common to all four platforms (NT/2K/XP/K3).

the entire Mount/\Command Set and they can be
loaded or unloaded as a group in under 2 seconds
on a typically loaded system.
..Mount/\Commands are specifically designed for
use in shell scripts and are coded for
Compatibility, Clarity and Speed.
Compatibility means that ALL M/\Cs perform
CONSISTENTLY across NT/2K/XP/K3. When the
command is created, those aggravating special
cases (the source of much Fuming) are masked
within the M/\C code so that a
Clarity means that scripting code written
using MountCommands can be easily understood
and maintained, even by those without
extensive shell scripting experience.
Speed means that all available methods are
employed to enhance the performance of each
command, including preloading the code so
NO DISK ACCESS is needed to invoke it!

Safe at Home Movie Poster Collection - One-Sheet and Three-Sheet (2)
Starting Bid - $200.00, Sold For - $1,057.50
Offered here are both a one-sheet and rare three-sheet movie poster for the 1962 Columbia Pictures release Safe at Home, starring Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. Although the film will never be found on any critic's list of top 100 sports movies, the studio's advertising department certainly hit a home run, as the colorful movie poster has long been a classic among collectors. Both posters feature variations of an illustration picturing the famed "M&M Boys" together with child-star Bryan Russell, "The Luckiest Kid in the World." The one-sheet (27 x 41 inches) displays normal folds as well as tack holes along the border areas, slight separation along a few of the fold lines, and a four-inch diagonal tear in the area of the bottom right border. In Very Good condition. The three-sheet (40.5 x 77 inches) displays normal fold lines (with a few areas of separation along the intersections), minor border tears and a very light stain in the lower right corner. In Very Good to Excellent condition. These posters are classics both as Maris-Mantle display pieces and as baseball-related movie posters. Ideal for display as intended. Both will display as Excellent condition when framed. The larger three-sheet poster is particularly scarce. Reserve $200. Estimate $400/$800. SOLD FOR $1,057.50

16 November 2002
University of Wales, Aberystwyth
The aim of the workshop is to bring together individuals and groups working with Lacanian theory, in whatever context, in order to promote the free exchange of ideas and encourage further study of Lacan's work.
Papers on aspects of Lacanian thought, and particularly its application to culture and identity are welcome. This may include, for example, national or organisational identity formation, cultural trauma, or religion as well as the problematic and fecundity of the translation of Lacanian theory onto the postcolonial reading scene. Aspects of which may include Lacanian theory and the intersection of 'racial' difference with that of sexual difference.
Current agreed speakers include:
Yannis Stavrakakis (Nottingham)
Jenny Edkins (Aberystwyth)
The hope of the convenors is that this workshop will lead to a regular seminar and/or email discussion group on a similar theme.
For further information or to submit an abstract please contact the organisers
