It's typical of Emile Heskey's England career that he would be the first of the shamed class of 2010 to announce his retirement from international football.
Just as he did throughout his 11 years of service for his country, he has taken one for the team by putting himself in the firing line so that, should any of his erstwhile colleagues follow suit, it will be easier for them.
Mind you, he was the only one of the 23 who went to South Africa who could also have quit club football in order to prolong his England career.
Still, six different England managers picked him, and they can't all have been wrong, can they? Can they?
Compare that with Thierry Henry, who also chose to reveal he has quit playing for France yesterday. Ever the self-publicist, Henry decided to break his news just before his first press conference with new team New York Red Bulls.
The MLS outfit rather smugly paid tribute to their new marquee signing, claiming they had recruited a top world star at the peak of his powers. The many shots of him shivering underneath a tartan blanket on the France bench beg to differ, and on the pitches of Cape Town and Bloemfontein he was only marginally more effective.
Henry may have collected a Champions League winner's medal last year in the middle of a largely indifferent three years - on a personal level, at least - at Barcelona, but his 2009 will always be remembered for his handball against Ireland. As we all know, had he not double-dribbled before setting up William Gallas's winner in that play-off, the Republic would definitely have gone on to reach the World Cup.
That shocking assist heralded the start of a miserable year for French football, and for Henry. The public were ashamed to be at the World Cup, there was all manner of in-fighting in the camp, and Henry lost his place in the starting line-up and the captain's armband.
Despite that, he still remained the big man on campus, so much so that he was the man Nicolas Sarkozy called for a meeting as part of the inquest into the disastrous campaign. Just as in his final year at Arsenal, Henry had become too big for the team.
He may be France's all-time leading goal scorer and one of the world's best players over the last decade, but as an international player he had become another sullen, moping albatross for Les Bleus. Laurent Blanc's epic rebuilding job will be easier without him.
For England, meanwhile, Heskey was highly likely to have been in Fabio Capello's next squad. The clamour for casting out the old guard and bringing in young players may be well-intentioned, but would the pragmatic Italian really have thrown a bunch of kids into the side right after their summer break?
Besides, he had already shown that Heskey was a key part of the system that saw England qualify so emphatically, and in South Africa he set up half of the team's goals from open play (in case you missed it, ITV HD viewers, it was the opener against USA). His awful miss when one-on-one with Tim Howard later in the same match, however, will stick in the memory longer.
That performance summed up Heskey's England career. Always working to bring others into the game and create chances, but woeful in front of goal himself. But, unlike so many of the bigger stars in the squad, at least it was clear he was always giving everything, even if it often wasn't enough.
Now that we are deep in the biennial post-tournament gloom, let's not kid ourselves about the way England play. They have always thrived on long balls and set pieces, and there weren't many more effective at gaining them than Heskey. We may be crying out for a new England, and rightly so - but in the long wait for that to dawn (if it ever does), they could have made use of Heskey's limited talents.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "We are working very hard on making certain the players we have at the club who you would call the 'good players' are going to be with us for next season. The board are working very hard in that area. Some players are a bit disenchanted after what happened last season and we want to make sure we get that enchantment back." - Roy Hodgson admits that morale in the Liverpool dressing room was low when he arrived at the club.
FOREIGN VIEW: "Mascherano? I know he has always played well, he has a strong character, is a smart guy. We have so many players in that role good and intelligent. We'll see if he can help us in terms of technical tactics." - If Javier Mascherano is one of those "disenchanted" players, then Internazionale chief Massimo Moratti is offering him a way out.

2009 Tommy Athletic Awards Celebrate Fifth Year
April 7, 2010
WATCH Tommy Awards Athlete Recap (3:00)
The USC Athletic Department celebrated another year of Trojan success with the fifth annual Tommy Athletic Awards, honoring outstanding accomplishments by USC student-athletes in the 2009 calendar year. Ten different USC teams were represented in this year's awards presentation, which is organized annually by the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC). The 2009 edition of the Tommy Awards played to a full house of USC athletes, coaches, administrators and staff at the Galen Founder's Room on Tuesday evening.
A big winner on the day was the USC men's water polo team, which won Male Team of the Year honors for its back-to-back NCAA Championship victories to go along with senior Jordan Thompson's honors for Male Individual Day Performance and men's and women's head coach Jovan Vavic's second straight selection as the Coach of the Year. 2009 Pac-10 Champion women's tennis picked up Female Team of the Year honors for the first time.
The Male Athlete of the Year award wound up in co-honors going to Pac-10 Men's Tennis Player of the Year Robert Farah -- who helped the Trojans claim the 2009 NCAA Team Championship - and football's standout wide receiver Damian Williams. The 2009 Female Athlete of the Year was bestowed upon women's water polo player Kami Craig, who was the conference player of the year and also won the prestigious Peter J. Cutino Award in 2009.
Track also was well-represented on the awards list, with Zsofia Erdelyi winning the Female Individual Performance award for her efforts at the 2009 NCAA West Regional and Ahmad Rashad honored for Best Comeback after overcoming injury and finishing second in the 100-meter dash at the 2009 NCAA Championships.
A mainstay on the Tommy Award podium throughout her career at USC, swimmer Rebecca Soni picked up the Record-Breaking Performance award as the USC, Pac-10, NCAA and American record-holder in the 200-yard backstroke.
This year's Trojan of the Year honorees were men's volleyball player Jon Hackett and women's track and field athlete Shalina Clarke, who have each made significant impacts within USC athletics and around campus. Accolades also went to three USC student-athletes who held 4.0 GPAs in both the spring and fall semesters in 2009, with football's Steve Blackhart and cross country's Katherine Ellis and Shea Wickland earning the Highest GPA award.

Bethlehem residents lambaste committee about proposed Rose Garden lease
The school district wants to temporarily use it for a parking lot.
BETHLEHEM TWP., Pa. - Residents of west Bethlehem told a city council committee Monday night that they don't want part of their paradise paved over and turned into a parking lot.
The majority of public speakers at a meeting of the Bethlehem Parks and Public Committee marched to the microphone and ripped into committee members and other council members in attendance concerning a proposed three-year $1 lease of about 1/2-acre of the eight-acre Rose Garden Park to the Bethlehem School District.
The plan hatched by the school district and recommended by city administrators, calls for the section of the park at 10th Avenue and West Union Boulevard to be utilized for teacher and staff parking for Nitschmann Middle School during a $53 million, three-year renovation project.
As a result, the three-member committee voted by a 2-1 margin to send the matter to the full city council for consideration at its June 17 meeting.
Committee members Michael Recchiuti and Bryan Callahan voted in favor of that motion. Committee chair Cathy Reuscher cast the dissenting vote.
School district officials and Arif Fazil of Bethlehem-based D'Huy Engineering presented the plan to the committee that explained how 81 parking spaces would be created on a 225-foot-by-150-foot section of the park.
The cost for that, Fazil said, would be about $150,000.
Fazil noted that adding a new playground and trimming trees that already needed such work will cost the school district upwards of $200,000.
"We've documented every tree. Nobody is cutting down any of the sycamore trees. Where the driveway will be located is where trees will be cut, including a white pine that is keeling over," he said.
"It's the right thing for the neighborhood. It will relieve (traffic and parking) stress in the neighborhood," Fazil said.
Callahan, who noted several times during the meeting that he attended Nitschmann, said the parking lot in the Rose Garden was "the best of a bad situation."
"The school is land locked. Option B (school staff parking on local streets) is not a better option," Callahan said. "I understand where you are coming from. I know what you are feeling. Three years from now, the state of where it is will be better. It will increase your property values and a good thing for your neighborhood."
Residents demand exploration of alternatives
West Bethlehem residents who packed council chambers weren't buying the school district's plan.
They peppered council with scenarios of how quality-of-life would suffer with school construction happening in back of their homes and looking out on a parking lot from their front doors.
Resident Dale Seibert produced a petition with 712 signatures urging council to find alternative parking areas for Nitschmann staff.
"Don't do this at the expense of an icon of the city and the elimination of green space," he said. "This is much more than anyone should be asked to endure for three years."
Resident Leo Kurtz said west Bethlehem residents will "stop this project by all means necessary."
"We're not playing games. We're serious folks. You're not touching our Rose Garden," he said.
Alternative parking areas for school staff being pitched are located at Martin Towers, an abandoned car dealership at 11th Avenue and Broad Street and a local KNBT Bank parking lot.
Two Nitschmann teachers lamented having to haul bags and books down Eighth Avenue if they miss a shuttle bus, or didn't want to wait for one.
"Option B, parking on the street, is the other option," Fazil said. "Contractors will show up first, around 6 a.m., followed by the teachers. They'll park in the first available space closest to the school, rather than take a shuttle bus."
Nitschmann principal Peter Mayes said the majority of the school's athletic contests will be moved off-site during construction, in addition to 12-to-18 major events that will now be held at Liberty High School, Moravian College and Lehigh University.
Mayes said this will lessen the need for evening parking at the school.
Nitschmann staff and students will be affected by the construction beginning in the 2015-16 school year.
"If this is voted down, a lot of people will be unhappy, especially senior citizens," Recchiuti said. "But, if that's the will of the neighborhood, that's it."

Totally Tubular
Love it or hate it, television is an inescapable force in our culture. In recognition of this fact and of the impending end of analog broadcasts (originally scheduled for February 17, but postponed until June 12) artist Eric Matelski put together Poor Reception, a television art show featuring his own works and those from Danyl Cook, Daniel Lowenstein, Dunn, Joroko, Laurie Maves, Russ Wright and more.
The subjects and media range from beloved icons of the broadcast age to the ever-present glowing boxes themselves, and offer a range of unique viewpoints on peoples relationships with TV. Some of the artwork is actually done on televisions, using the screen as the canvas and then using static as negative space. Some of that imagery is more iconic television imagery, some of it just portrays a love/hatred towards television, Matelski says. If you didnt really want to look at television or you feel that television is not artistic enough, this gives you a different reason to stare at your TV.
Tune in tonight from 6 to 9 p.m. for the closing reception at Kaze Gallery, 3245 Osage Street, including a soundtrack of TV theme songs. For more info, call 303-898-4350 or visit www.artpimponline.com.

Webmasters - Attention !! You may use these newsletters at
your site or newsletter
P lease leave the contact information intact.
A frame should just do its job, but what is that job?
It certainly is not to call attention to itself.
Many times we choose a frame for its sheer
gaudiness, hoping to make our art work look more
impressive and important!
Our attention is then on the framing and not on the
picture in the frame.
A frame is only a supporting actor, not the main event!
If we have been complimented on our frame, we have
not properly framed the art work.
Framing did not come into being until about the 15th century. Paintings were done on buildings, ceilings, small wooden folding panels or small boxes.
When the artist began to paint on larger panels of wood, then the need of support became apparent.
Early frames were used to keep the wooden panels from warping. As time went on, the craft of frame making
became very elaborate and refined and the frame was considered to be as important as the art work.
Consequently, the frame became the center of attention.
A watercolor painting must be framed under glass.
Having said that, some artists have opted not to use glass. There aren't any hard and fast rules.
But a water soluble painting cannot be cleaned easily. Sometimes it is impossible.
The traditional way of framing a watercolor is with a white or off-white mat and a very simple
thin wood moulding.
Decorators and their customers have said WHITE IS NOT ENOUGH, we want color!
So, we have mats in every color imaginable.
But who's to say if it's wrong or not in good taste?
But then again, the frame and matting must
compliment the art work, not detract.
Paintings that are not cleanable, such as watercolors, pastels, gouaches, charcoals,
colored pencils, reproductions and photographs, must be framed under glass.
There are always those who do not want glass, but they face the risk of dirty art work and no
way of cleaning it.
If it's water soluble, meaning, if it was wet, the paint would smear or run, it needs to be framed
under glass.
This type of art-work also needs a mat for separation from the glass. If the glass sweats and there is
nothing between the paper and the glass, the condensation from the inside of the glass will
cause the watercolor paint to become soluble and it can run and spot the mat or run down the art work itself.
Be careful about putting any art-work on paper next to glass. We have talked about the sweating that can
Another problem that can pop up is, the art-work itself, sticking to the glass. If acrylic medium was used
to varnish the painting or used as a glue, as in a college, it will stick to glass.
Please note, watercolors aren't varnished.
Acrylic paint is sometimes used like a watercolor and can be varnished, because it is not water soluble.
Oil and acrylic paintings shouldn't be framed under glass. Their varnish is protection enough. Some even
caution against cardboard on the back of the stretcher strips, saying the canvas needs room to breathe and completely dry. The drying process takes many years, even though it feels dry to the touch.
The varnishing layer is very important to an oil painting. Perhaps even more important that the supporting frame.If an oil painting is left unvarnished, dirt becomes imbedded in the cracks and fibers of the canvas and is nearly impossible to remove. The type of varnish is very important. Never use furniture varnish on a painting. That type is formulated for furniture and not a fine art painting.
In recent years, many different types of varnishes have come on the market. Damar Varnish is a strong and steady standby, it will turn yellow and get brittle in time though. Always read the labels before purchasing. There are different varnishes for oil and acrylic paintings.
Don't put an acrylic varnish on the oil. The oil and acrylic dries at different speeds and will cause cracking and flaking.
Wetting and washing a canvas is not recommended. Wetting the canvas should be done only by an expert knowledgeable in restoration. If the art-work is valuable, seek professional help. (Not for you personally, for the art-work ;-) Water can seep down between the paint cracks and could loosen the paint from the canvas.
(Not a good thing)
I will admit to this though, when my studio was flooded with 8 feet of water, and all the paintings on paper and canvas were soaked, I took the water hose to the ones on canvas and then gently sponged the ones on watercolor paper. The canvas shrunk ¼ inch all around, the stretcher strips warped, I even scrubbed (gently of course) the canvases, but I salvaged most of the paintings on canvas.
I think not throwing them away goes back to what was discussed in an earlier chapter; about how precious and priceless we consider our own art-work! ;-) The ones on paper were another matter! Most of them had to be thrown away. The mud was nearly impossible to get off and the colored mats had run and discolored the paintings.
What a way to get a fresh start!! It was almost a relief to throw away paintings that never could be a success. Paintings that had been worked and reworked for years. Well, enough of that saga!!
Just remember, water is not a good thing for a painting!
And neither is nicotine! Nicotine from just average smoking, will stain a painting in a very short time.
Cigarette smoke will deposit a thin oily film on everything, staining and discoloring. Try to avoid
smoking around your art-work
Masking tape and cardboard can ruin your art-work! This cannot be stressed enough. They are acidic and will, over time, stain the work. The acid in the cardboard backing will leach out and migrate to your canvas or paper and leave stains.
Linen tape is recommended for fastening watercolors, photos, etc.to their mats. Just keep cardboard away from direct contact with art work. Buy foam core in sheets from art supply houses, Hobby Lobby,
Micheals Craft Store, or for online shopping try This can be placed between the cardboard and the art-work with no ill effects.
Many artists will go so far as to varnish the inside of the frame to seal it from leaching acid onto the
Archival mats and backing boards are available and recommended for the longevity of the art work and
certainly worth the slightly higher price. Quality art-work deserves and requires all the help we can
give it; to preserve it for future generations enjoyment, education and enlightenment.
A good frame, both in looks and quality is worth its weight in gold (so to speak). The frame will make or break a painting. Think of it as icing on a cake. If all we can taste is the icing, the
cake was not noticed and will not be remembered.
Your painting is like that cake, too much of a frame and it is over powered, weakened. I can't see your
lovely art-work for that FRAME!!! It is too in yourface! But the painting is certainly in need of a frame for several reasons, for support, for protection and finally, to look good. The frame is not to be the star of the show; but the supporting actor.
Framing, when properly done, will enhance, add to, support, protect and just hang in there. That's
it's job, to just hang there and be supportive.
Resist the impulse to over frame.

Rare Israeli Justice
Israeli High Court rules for Arab MK Zuabi.
by Stephen Lendman
Instances indeed are rare. An important one deserves mention. In mid-July 2010, Knesset members stripped MK Hanin Zuabi of key parliamentary rights and privileges.
They did so for participating in the May 2010 Freedom Flotilla. She joined others trying to bring vital humanitarian aid to Gaza. Lunatic fringe MK's targeted her. They oppose doing the right thing.
Hardline MKs called her a traitor. She's repeatedly vilified and threatened. On December 18, Israel's Central Election Committee (CEC) disqualified her from seeking reelection.
Israeli Basic Law requires Supreme Court justices rule on whether political candidates may be disqualified. More below on their Zuabi decision.
She's a Balad party member. They fraudulently claimed she violated Israeli Basic Law. It says anyone denying Israel's existence as a Jewish state can't serve in parliament. Nor can others favoring terrorism and armed struggle.
Zuabi serves honorably and legitimately. Charges against her are baseless. At issue is challenging her humanitarian priorities. Nineteen CEC members approved disqualification. Nine voted against. One abstained.
Disqualifying her is lawless. Israel's Supreme Court had final say. It overturned most previous attempts to disqualify candidates. More on how it ruled below.
Deputy speaker Danny Danon said if Zuabi stands for reelection, Knesset members will change Israeli law. He added that she belongs in prison, not parliament.
MK hardliner Michael BenAri said if justices didn't disqualify her she'd "throw a bomb in the Knesset." If they let her run, he'd "send them all to Gaza." They can serve "under (Hamas leader Ismail) Haniyah."- Advertisement -
He added that "anyone who participated in the Mavi Marmara flotilla is a criminal. To our great regret, this is a court that legitimized (former Balad MK) Azmi Bishara."
In March 2007, he left Israel. He did so because of unjust allegations against him. They were baseless. Charges and indictment never followed.

Drive South to Norfolk
Today we drove to Norfolk and on the way we stopped to see the Angel of The North sculpture on the way out of Newcastle.
On the way we also saw the last flying Vulcan which was on a final tour around the country. We stopped in King's Lynn and had a look around.
Flight to San Francisco
We drove to Heathrow very leisurely, and spent a good 2 hours in the BA lounge. The plane was a new Airbus 380 and we were seated upstairs. The flight was 10 hours but with nice food, wine and some movies it was not too bad.
Arrival in SF was easy, with customs very quick, found the hire car desk but then had difficulty with the car / SUV as we couldn't get out cases in under the boot cover. Problem solved ...
Holt, Blakeney and Binham Priory
... brick wall in the photos why they don't rely on brickwork alone. We stopped in Blackeney for lunch, for variety we stopped at the Kings Arms - the usual pub name is the Kings Head. Good food, beer and friendly locals. The tidal surges can be really fierce and the photos shows how bad the flooding can be. In fact the car park we used is underwater at high tide so the times were written on a board - still had to pay ...
Sightseeing wisbeck and Kings Lynn
Went into the town centre of Wisbeck. Nice town. Bought a couple of supplies. We then went to Kings Lynn which is a larger town with heaps of history. Just drove around and it was hard to find a car park so cruised around. Got some fuel at a cheaper servo for 110 pence per litre which translates to about AU $2.40 a litre. Not cheap but the car gets fairly good economy ...
... which is an old town with a lot of history. Looked around a huge abbey and gardens there. Took photos and then over to a place called Wisbech in Cambridgeshire. Property called Elme Hall hotel. It is quite modern inside. We will be here for 3 days at this ...

|st: RE: sort variables in Variables Window?
|Mon, 31 Oct 2005 21:08:54 -0500
Guys, I got nothing after some searches in Stata. How could I sort the variables in the Variables Window? After creating some new variables, similar names appearing side by side is helpful, instead of the newer ones display after the old ones, as in the default. Furthermore, could I arrange the sequence of the variables by hand in any order? Thanks. Cheers, Wanli Zhao * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Pretty screenprinted designs. I love the bag's shape.

bookpashun's recommendation
This is adorable, and it will go really well with the boots I just got from target. And that gray jersey dress. This is really not fair--why can't I just have a clothing allowance? Looking at the pictures further: the inside is red, with more cute printing. The black canvas strap is not ugly canvas, and has a nifty shape to it; wider where it rests on your shoulder. Magnetic clasp, but there's a wallet pocket, so that's where your BART card should go, because the full-size wallet you probably have would fit better in the 10x14 main compartment. If I didn't already have a gorgeous yellow bag, and my Mastercard weren't demanding 30 pieces of silver, this would be mine immediately.

An artists' haven since the 1930s is now an art museum, writes Megan Anderson.
After two years' nurturing a fierce Melbourne obsession, I've finally found the beat of the city's artistic pulse.
I'm standing in front of Alice and her face is dripping with hot oil paint. Her legs and right arm are missing, and her whole body swims in flashes of gold, flecks of dark water grey and blood red.
She's staring wide-eyed from painter Charles Blackman's vision of Wonderland towards the ghost of Sidney Nolan, who's busy painting his Ned Kelly series atop a white-washed table. Outside the doors of this French-styled farmhouse, a quivering sea of trees guards thickset modernist sculptures.
Welcome to the Heide Museum of Modern Art. Nestled on the banks of the Yarra River in the suburb of Bulleen, Heide really is a grand retreat - and just a 15-minute drive from town.
It also has a history dating back to the roots of Australian modernism. When benefactors John and Sunday Reed moved in during the 1930s, they created a home for themselves and a Mecca for artists, poets and writers.
The Reeds nurtured barren farmland into a small forest and farm, establishing an almost self-sufficient lifestyle that saw the Great Depression and World War II come and go - with barely a ripple of rationing or butterless fare touching their small kingdom. The Heide Circle, as the frequenters of Heide became known, included the big Australian art names of Nolan, Arthur Boyd, Charles and Barbara Blackman, Joy Hester, John Perceval and Mirka Mora.
Today, the museum is made up of three main galleries scattered among the grounds: Heide I, Heide II and Heide III. While the newest of the galleries, Heide III, tends to exhibit emerging artists on the brink of success, it's Heide I and II that form the historical backbone of the whole enterprise.
Heide sustainability and finance manager Paula Greene walks me up to the French-styled cottage, the original farmhouse, that is Heide I. Trees swish under the wintery sky and an enormous oak reaches up into the wind. I mention the fairy-tale likeness of it all.
Greene agrees. "It's a dream place to come up in the morning to."
In front of the cottage, a few brave wintertime violets sway within the steel outline of a heart. This, Greene tells me, is a garden of nostalgia, planted by Sunday Reed in memory of an affair with Nolan.
Apparently, Sunday's passion for all things French included out-of-wedlock romance.
Opened to the public fully for the first time in March, Heide I is celebrating with the exhibition Sunday's Kitchen, which showcases the richness of the history behind the place, and Sunday's passion for cooking and gardening. The exhibition and recent restoration of the house was inspired in part by a just-released book, Sunday's Kitchen: Food and Living at Heide.
Inside, the house somehow keeps its fresh, lived-in air, while also working in its modern function as gallery. Artists loved the Reeds' extensive library, stocked with the latest and best of art, literature, and thought from Europe.
On the cottage walls hang paintings, photographs and sketches by the people who loved this place and spent afternoons, evenings, days and even years here (Nolan spent six years at Heide in the 1940s).
There are clippings from Sunday's recipes, the ethereal airs of Blackman's golden Alice (1956), a generous number of Nolans and Christmas drawings by one of Melbourne's best-loved artists, Mirka Mora.
Cats are a big theme here, either painted on kitchen tiles, staring from pitch-black canvases or photographed.
"Sunday loved cats," Greene tells me. "She had a ridiculous number of Siamese cats."
Downhill, the limestone-blocked Heide II forms a remarkably different structure to the simplicity of the farmhouse. Designed by modernist architect David McGlashan, the Reeds lived in this award-winning home, intended as "a gallery to be lived in", from 1967 until 1980, a year before their deaths. The gallery is where the extent of the Heide Collection really makes its formidable presence known.
The exhibition during my visit, Affinities, taps into the emotions of the Heide artists as they responded to the steely conditions of a wartime world. There's a nightmarish, surreal edge to Albert Tucker's maimed figures, reflective of the horror of war and the human condition. Other works range from John Perceval's ceramic, goblin-like cherubs to Joy Tucker's distorted ink-work bodies and Nolan's characteristic coloured flatness and sweeping brush strokes.
The best thing about Heide is how the artworks keep on breathing when you emerge, bedazzled, from each gallery. Spindly steel and curving wooden sculptures nestle neatly into the landscape of this .6ha sculptural park. You can sense the care put into the place.
Already, Heide is keeping up the forward-thinking environmental efforts of the Reeds by implementing advanced sustainability projects.
Water conservation, ever on the mind in Melbourne, is achieved not only through water management and rainwater tanks, but through a system that traps condensation from inside the galleries. This not only protects the paintings within, but the landscape outside.
The Sidney Myer Education Centre, also on the property, keeps environmental themes in mind in the programmes they run for children, teachers and community groups. The newly-opened boutique Cafe Vue, built into the old Reed carport, uses choice items from the kitchen gardens in their inspired menu and packed picnic lunchboxes.
The simplicity, beauty and ease worked into the many activities at Heide is part of the legacy the Reeds left behind.

Professional drivers fundraise to protect Montana toddler
MISSOULA, Mont. - Last week NBC Montana told you about a Montana high school students' fight to protect his toddler after the child's mother and her boyfriend allegedly beat the little boy.
After spending five days recovering from his injuries in a Seattle hospital two-year-old Mason Evans was released to his father Dylan Evans who lives in St. Ignatius.
Now a variety of fundraisers are popping up to help the Evans family pay for uncovered medical bills and lawyer fees.
Sunday morning professional semi-truck drivers from around the nation gathered to raise money for little Mason.
In Williston North Dakota 28 professional drivers drove a 75-mile fundraising loop and collected over $2,000 for little Mason; they called it the "Convoy for Mason."
Event organizer Arne Wilber says he wanted to help the Evans family through this tough time and he says he knew getting other professional drivers involved would be the best way to raise funds.
"These drivers believe highly in the same thing I do and Dylan and everybody involved in this situation," said Wilber. "That baby needs to be safe and that's my bottom line."
The professional drivers will be holding another fundraiser this upcoming Wednesday with all proceeds going to little Mason.
The Evan's family is accepting donations to help with Mason's bills. If you would like to help you can do so by contacting Valley Bank of Ronan; just let them know you would like to donate to the 'Mason Evans' fund.

The decline of U.S. influence around the world in the past several years is having a significant impact on the press, human rights and foreign policy, according to Samantha Power, Kennedy School professor of U.S. foreign policy, who spoke at a brown bag Monday afternoon.
The best resourced, most thorough investigative work in journalism takes place in the United States, said Power, but because U.S. influence around the world is waning, this work is no longer having the impact it once did.
"When the United States stands up on Darfur in response to public pressure and press exposure, it doesn't produce anywhere near the result it would have prior to the war in Iraq," she said. "China's influence with Sudan offsets the U.S. influence."
Another trend of concern, says Power, is the "backsliding on freedom" in countries once thought to
be moving in the right direction regarding human rights. Citing Russia and Venezuela as examples, Power noted that an "emboldened cluster of countries" has emerged over the last several years that are flush with power
and an ability to do what they want within their own borders. "You see what Tom Friedman calls 'petro-authoritarianism,'" she said. While some countries are backsliding, said Power, other countries, such as Afghanistan and Palestine, are dangerous, failing states. "And in Iraq, journalists are increasingly more vulnerable so they are finding it difficult to do meaningful investigative work."
Finally, poor policy decisions by U.S. leaders is a trend that is creating a heightened sense of vulnerability. "The fear that stems from U.S. vulnerability is fueling not a greater openness, but a propensity to close down and scale back our freedoms in terms of detention policies or in terms of press policies," said Power.
The seminar was sponsored by the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy.

At lunch near the waterfront a week or so ago, we were admiring the cruise ship berthed at Princes Wharf. The sight inspired one of our number to ask why some ships berth bow-in, and others berth stern-in. We wondered if it was for ease of refuelling, or perhaps wind direction during the berthing process. Can you help?
Bill Davidson, Mt Eden.
Leigh Robins from Ports of Auckland says there are any number of reasons why ships berth the way they do. Most of them prefer to berth bow-in as the ship looks nicer this way. For some vessels it may be due to where the door openings are; for example, a suitable gangway opening or storage door may be only on the port side. For the Pacific Pearl the other week, the captain had asked to berth this way so the crew could undertake some work on the port side and it was easier to do it from the wharf rather than the water.
If I am exiting the Countdown carpark at Eden Quarter on to Valley Rd and wish to turn right, do I have to give way to traffic on Valley Rd approaching from my left and indicating they wish to turn right into Countdown? Personal safety indicates it is best I wait, which is what I do, but I am interested in the legal position.
Mike Fox, Mt Eden.
The road rules state that the entrance to a public carpark such as that belonging to a supermarket or hospital counts as an intersection where it meets a road. As such, the rules that apply to uncontrolled intersections also apply here. The turning car on your left should give way to you, as you are on the right. However, as few people seem to know, understand or obey this rule, personal safety is always a sensible option.
I have a question about trucks that carry farm animals - sheep, cattle, pigs, goats etc. I was following one the other day and noticed that it was discharging a yellow fluid from the rear of the truck, from what looked like some sort of drain. Could this have been waste from the animals being poured on to the road?
Tom Rowlands, Waitakere.
Oh yes indeed. It would have been exactly what you feared it was.
Effluent disposal from stock trucks is a problem. Most trucks do now have holding tanks, but when these overflow, the yellow fluid results. Stock truck drivers are asked to use the effluent disposal facilities around the country on main highways, and also to empty tanks before they leave stockyards or freezing works. However, some of the latter do not have disposal stations, and if the distance between disposal points on the highways is too great, overflow happens.
A quick browse of the internet shows that most councils are aware of the problem, but as effluent disposal stations can cost as much as $450,000, it's an expensive exercise. My suggestion? Don't follow a stock truck too closely.

BBC Review
Microtonal minimalist maximalism in this reissue of The Young Person's Guide to Phill...
Peter Marsh 2002
Those who attended Philip Glass's all day rehearsals back in the early 1970s were both flattened and exhilarated by the volume his ensemble generated as they pumped out relentless ostinati from electric organs, synthesisers and winds. Though Philmoved on to concert hall respectability long ago, there's always been a strain of minimalist composer who likes it LOUD - think Glenn Branca and Rhys Chatham with their guitar orchestras or Tony Conrad's wall of amped up violin scrape; maximalist minimalists perhaps.
Phill Niblock is one such composer, though the term seems at odds with the sculptural immensity of the sound he's been creating since the early 70s. His music is mostly created on tape - long tones made by acoustic instruments are spliced together to remove attack and decay, leaving only pure notes.Trombones, saxophones and the like are stripped of their characters almost, to become mere tone generators. His interest is in the kind of beat frequencies, harmonics and overtones made by combining tones that differ from each other by only a few hertz, sketching out his ideas using sine waves and oscilloscopes.
If this all sounds rather dry, then that's because it probably is. But from such prosaic beginnings emerges a music of bewildering intensity. This is ambient music in the truest sense; played loud through a decent set of speakers (don't use your kitchen CD player with all the knobs missing), Niblock's held tones are less music than a sonic environment. As you move around the room, different harmonics emerge, tiny clusters of melody appear and disappear. What you hear depends on so many variables that the same piece yields different results every time, making any detailed analysis superflous, not to say futile (don't listen under headphones; it'll drive you insane).
Niblock's influences are more from the world of visual art than music; the darkly sensuous tones of Mark Rothko or the clean lines of Donald Judd's sculpture. In his hands, music ceases to become time based; it just is. Whether you decide that this is just psychoacoustics masquerading as art or a listening experience that has few rivals in its power is up to you. If that sounds like a reviewer's cop out then that's because it probably is; Niblock's music defies description. Give it a go, and TURN IT UP.....

First here is the guide I have written to install and configure HAproxy. Next, Sometimes we have different servers with different contents, such as one set of servers with all static contents (html, image files) of a website while another set of servers have dynamic contents (cgi, perl, php scripts) This type of config is beneficial in some situations where you want to serve your static data directly from CDN for faster response and dynamic contents from your own servers.
While deploying a load balancer, we need some mechanism to inform loadbalancer to forward request to different set of servers based on the condition specified. Here I'm using HAProxy load balancer on CentOS 5 box. This is a very small test setup in Amazon EC2 environment having 3 small instances.
Let's start the action. Login to server where you want to install HAProxy. Download it and extract it. You can download source and compile but as its a single executable file, I prefer to download precompiled file for being lazy
$ mkdir /usr/local/haproxy $ cd /usr/local/haproxy $ wget http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.3/bin/haproxy-220.127.116.11-pcre-40kses-splice-linux-i586.notstripped.gz $ gunzip haproxy-22.214.171.124-pcre-40kses-splice-linux-i586.notstripped.gz $ mv haproxy-126.96.36.199-pcre-40kses-splice-linux-i586.notstripped haproxy $ chmod 700 haproxy
As an example, we have two backend servers/domains, one to serve static contents and other for dynamic contents. Let's create config file:
$ vi haproxy.cfg defaults balance roundrobin cookie SERVERID insert indirect frontend www 10.252.130.162:80 mode http acl dyn_content url_sub cgi-bin use_backend dyn_server if dyn_content default_backend stat_server backend dyn_server mode http server dserver1 dynamic.example.com:80 cookie A check backend stat_server mode http server sserver1 static.example.com:80 cookie B check
Here, 10.252.130.162 is the IP of your load balancer server. HAProxy configuration file has several sections called defaults, listen, frontend and backend. We used cookie to forward all subsequent requests from same user to same backend. The main thing here is the acl in frontend section which stats that if there's a word "cgi-bin" in user's url then use dyn_server as backend otherwise use default backend which is stat_server. You should refer HAProxy documentation for further information of configurations.
Save the file and check it for syntax:
$ ./haproxy -f ./haproxy.cfg -c
It will throw warnings regarding missing timeouts in sections, you can ignore these warnings. If there's any error, check the config file again.
Run HAProxy:
$ ./haproxy3 -f ./haproxy.cfg -p /var/run/haproxy.pid
Put load balancer's public IP/domain name in your browser and test this setup, it should go as expected.

Farming Today This Week
Charlotte Smith goes to the LAMMA 2013 show to see the high tech machinery which is radically changing farming. Innovations in agricultural engineering are revolutionising the way that food is grown in this country.
The Institution of Agricultural Engineers is concerned that there is a lack of talented engineers working in the industry. Students from Harper Adams University College tell Anna why they want to study the subject.
Charlotte goes inside one of the new 'Top Gear' breed of tractors and talks to farmers about whether their investment will pay off.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Emma Weatherill.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
P.S Today I did call chase bank back to see if they did get my $600 back. Well they did more or less Chase Bank is calling me a liar and I did get my services that Estrela did. Well I did not get nothing from
Estre4la Marketing Solution. And the owner to Estrela marketing solution told Chase that they did. I have never seen anything at my web\Site from Estrela. My business is were I make candles and I have been trying to sell them. I thought It would be better to go with a company that I thought was real but was not. I am still on S.S.I until my busines takes off. I have a bad heart. If Chase would of stop this tranaction when I told Chase Bank I would not be going though this. I just want to tell anyone not to do business with Estrela marketing solution. Because they are a bad company! And dont sign no papers with them. Estrela will tell one thing and do another! And for Chase I use to feel safe with them but not no more! They told me that they would put the money for me. And they have fax me papers telling that they would put back my $600
But now they chance their minds. Will I still have the papers and I will take this as far as I can. So dont
do business with chase either. I needed to let others know so they wont make the same mistake like I did in dealing with these to company.

BeschreibungHailed upon publication for its "relentless clarity and moral resonance of an ancient legend" (The Plain Dealer), Irini Spanidou's first novel, God's Snake, introduced one of contemporary literature's most memorable young heroines, Anna Karystinou. Anna returns in Fear, a novel of equally brilliant confidence.It is now 1959, and thirteen-year-old Anna is a perpetual newcomer, moving from place to place with her family. Her father, a demanding army colonel, has raised her to be invulnerable and proud. But Anna's confident air belies her anxiety as she grapples with her burgeoning sexuality, and begins an uneasy friendship with the smug and challenging Veronica Koroneou. When Anna learns that a serial killer is preying on young women nearby, she is lured toward the source of her terror. From a unique and brutally honest angle, Fear is an unflinching portrait of a girl's difficult transition into womanhood.

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

ALP stands by forests policy that cost seats
Political Correspondent
Page Tools
Labor's front bench has endorsed the central planks of the party's controversial forests policy - to save old-growth Tasmanian trees while guaranteeing more development funds for industry and no net job losses.
But in a heated second day of debate about Labor's election policies, some senior figures said the party's jobs guarantee had been drowned out by a hostile public response.
Labor leader Mark Latham defended his decisions during the campaign, telling his team the national campaign committee had supported the policy.
New environment spokesman Anthony Albanese told the meeting Labor needed to differentiate itself from the Government and the Greens.
"We need to point out that the Government has no environmental credibility, and that the Greens have no credible economic policies," one source quoted him as saying.
But sources said Tasmanian Senator Nick Sherry and Victorian Senator Stephen Conroy were critical of Labor's handling of the issue and a potential breach of the Regional Forest Agreement.
Another frontbencher later said Labor should go back to the drawing board on forests policy, guaranteeing timber workers real jobs rather than as timber artisans.
Labor's inner circle also decided the party's controversial schools policy was a winner. They reaffirmed the principle of needs-based funding, which many felt was popular with voters.
While endorsing the general concept of Medicare Gold - giving free hospital care to the over-75s - many frontbenchers suspected the policy would have been adopted in some form by the Government within three years.

We are going on a similar Princess cruise in July. I'll be reading this thread with great interest!
Printable View
We are going on a similar Princess cruise in July. I'll be reading this thread with great interest!
Congrats to you & DH on 40 years of marriage. I am so envious of your cruise to Alaska. Maybe some day. Have a great time.
We are also going on a 7 day cruise for our 50th the end of this month. Thanks to all for all the suggestions.
We just returned from 7 day cruise. We had great weather, but the week before rained the entire trip. We were fortunate from what I understand. I needed a coat topside, but ended up carrying it in the different ports. I had a few long sleeve shirts, a couple of sweat shirts a light jacket and a wind breaker jacket. I wore the shirts, never wore the sweatshirts, wore the light jacket and the windbreaker over the light jacket when topside on the ship. I had a problem with sea sickness (3 out of 7 days). The next cruise I intend to start taking meds before getting on the ship and take them until off of it for good. I've had sea sickness problems in the Caribbean also, so it wasn't just this trip.
We went to quilt shops at every port. The quilt shop in Skagway has a good Internet site. I can order some of the material I didn't get that I wanted. DH was concerned about being able to get everything back into our luggage. i kept telling him not to worry about it. I would find a way to get it all in the suitcases. I had some things we bought mailed home. I'm still waiting for a doll I bought.
We took the train rides in Skagway, and tram in Juneau. I had to recharge my camera several times and used all of an 8g card. Between DH and myself we have over 1000 pics. I got an Alaskan themed scrapbook on the ship with a couple of accessory packs.
Our ship was the Carnival Miracle. We used their transfer service to and from the airport. It made it easy dealing with luggage and used their luggage express leaving the ship. They provided airline tags for luggage and picked it up the night before. We got our boarding passes on the ship and went straight through security to our gate. We didn't have to deal with our luggage until we got back to Mobile, AL. The only bad part of our trip was the flight from Mobile to Seattle. It was long and the seats got hard.
This trip was for our 40th anniversary. Mom wants to go to go on an Alaskan cruise now. I told her I'd go with her.
On our 25th anniversary, we rode on Holland America's Veendam for a 10 night land tour/cruise in Alaska. It was a smaller ship, maybe 1000 guests? and I have to say, it was the best trip of my life.
I had never cruised before so that was wonderful, but now that I have, the land tour is what I would do again.It's me, I'm just not a cruising gal
As mentioned, in Juneau there was a great quilt shop, I ended up with a lot of Alaska themed fat quarters
I advise doing a lot of trips that take you on land, to really get a feel for the state.
We purchased their 'wedding vows renewal' package that they held on the ship. It was supposed to be with any other couple that was repeating their, but we were the only ones. It included a dinner at the restaurant on the ship, and an hour long chat with the captain. Nice guy
You're going to have a wonderful time!
Ok, just remembered more:
We rode a helicopter and landed on a glacier, and then whatever they call those planes that land in water, we took a trip on one of those.
Oh, I got a ring with a diamond in the center, and 2 rubies on the side (I got an extremely cheap wedding ring, and no engagement ring - my choice- and this was to replace that)
Remembered again:
Warning - Don't Step on the Pipeline!
My husband works at BP, so naturally, we needed to see the pipeline. There was some exhibit set up so that one could see it, but you had to step on it before you could see the sign that said "Please do not stand on the Pipeline"
He wore his BP hat almost the entire time, and there were a few people we came across on land that commented.
He took my picture as I stood under a part of it that was above ground
We rode a train for a day, and it was funny, there was actually a bear, standing on his hind legs, waving to us as we went by. We thought maybe they train the bears up there to be welcoming to the tourists
We rode some small plane (that I noticed as we were in the air had a piece of duct tape holing it together) and landed in a small town (village?) over the Arctic circle. For some reason, I wanted to cross the Arctic Circle
I better stop now, I could go on for hours.
Holland is a great cruise line. I have gone on 2 of theirs with my Mom (one to Alaska and one Asia and Australia). I agree with taking warm clothes depending on when you're going. It was still pretty cool and we went the end of June for the Alaska cruise. Enjoy yourself. Check what side trips they are offering. There is a quilt shop in Sitka and I believe there are ones in Juneau. I found one in Ketchican.
We saw the Mendenhall Glacier and Glacier Bay. I went thru the Mystic Falls area on a tour.
I agree with the above advice-especially the layering technique! I've been to AK 17 times and can't get enough! Hatcher Pass between Willow and Palmer is a great place to "get away from it all" if you have your own vehicle. Drive Skyline Dr. in Homer. Take a water taxi to Halibut Cove from Homer. Check out the view of Mt. McKinley from Talkeetna Lodge in Talkeetna; also the view of The Mt. from Denali State park is terrific if you hit it on a clear day! The drive to Valdez thru Thompson Pass is amazing. I could go on and on! You will love it!
My advice is to relax and enjoy it all. And drink bottled water
Our neighbors said the mosquitos are the size of birds - take bug repellent!

Sygmunt Stein: A Spaniard in the Works
Sygmunt Stein, a humble Paris button-maker of Polish-Jewish origin, left a compelling account of his volunteer service fighting Fascism during the Spanish Civil War. Stein (1899-1968) first published his recollections in 1950s articles in the Yiddish "Forverts," as prepared for publication by the paper's then-Paris correspondent, Avrom (Abraham) Shulman, better known by the pen name "Avromtshe."
In 1961, publication in book form followed, as "der Birger-ḳrig in Shpanye." One reader, author and bund worker Nahum Khanin (1885-1965) lauded Stein's story as a "terrifying human document." This text has finally been translated into French in an edition supervised by Stein's daughter Odette. "My Spanish War: Ending the Myth of the International Brigades" was published by Les éditions du Seuil. Translated by Marina Alexeeva-Antipov, "My Spanish War" recounts in a tartly ironic prose style Stein's political disillusionment with Stalinism.
At first, although repelled by Soviet purges and show trials, Stein believed, as did other Jewish volunteers, that by personally combatting Fascism in Spain, he would hasten the establishment of a Jewish state. Much aware of The Spanish Expulsion and the Inquisition, Stein experienced "mystical trembling" at the thought that "450 years before, Spanish reactionaries hounded Jewish dwellers from this land. Now, centuries later, a small group of great-grandchildren of these Jews returned to settle a score with their former torturers." Asked to produce a Yiddish newsletter for Jewish troops, Stein soon discovered that since the Inquisition, no printing press with Hebrew characters could be found in all of Spain.
Thank you!

As a neophyte beekeeper, I enjoy seeing photo's of hives that I am interested in. As there are not a lot of pics nor information on Tanzanian Top Bar Hives (horizontal hives/long box hives/ etc.), I thought I would share mine.
I wanted to be able to transfer my frames from the nucs I bought directly into this hive. So my dimensions had to fit accordingly. I was going to go with a box type front and then have it morph into a kenyan top bar hive. But I listened to Michael Bush and went this route instead. I'm glad I did as it was a heck of a lot easier to make.
Although there are drawbacks to having such a long bar (19"), there are also some benifits. I can interchange frames with langstroth hives, or with an adjustment to my lid, I could add supers or other boxes above.
I went with old wood so that it has that rustic look. I sanded and cleaned up the insides and left the outside looking like it does. I think it looks a lot nicer in this location this way.
The lid has plywood and then the metal. The overhang in front is mostly because the metal sheet was that size and I didn't have to cut anything. But it should keep the weather off of their front deck.
