About the Owner
About Mike Nicholls
Mike and Sandra Nicholls retired to Spain in 2005.
Mike Nicholls purchased this apartment in 2005
Why Mike Nicholls chose Javea, Moraira and Denia Area
We chose Els Poblets because we like the quite life but you don't have to go very far for things to do.
What makes this apartment unique
The benefits of this property are the lovely long walks on the beach, not far from the town of Denia which has a harbour and marina boats go across to Ibiza daily. There is also a train station. Trains run all along the coast so lots to see. There is a bus service nearby to take you into Denia.

Excellent, relaxing location with friendly host
Stayed for 1 week. Mike met us close by to take us to the location as it is tucked out of the way. Apartment was perfect for our stay. Good facilities with large sun terrace and a BBQ. Well fitted out with all we needed. Good air con which was needed for the week we were there. Came and went as we pleased. Very friendly hosts. Perfect for our needs as it was very quiet. Would recommend a hire car to get around although it's within striking distance of some bars and places to eat. Would recommend this for anyone who wants a quite and peaceful base, but close enough to the more busy places such as Denia. Would certainly consider a return visit sometime.
Fantastic Place
We stayed at this apartment recently and we have to admit it is one of the best we have ever stayed in. Everything you could possibly want is in the apartment and the very large sun terrace is so private it was a pleasure to dine and sunbathe on. No noise, just the gentle humming of a few birds. We hired a car so went out and about a few days. Denia which is very close by is really lovely and all the beaches along the way are lovely too. Mike and Sandra made us very welcome and were only downstairs if we needed them for anything. If you are looking for a relaxing break away then this is defiantly a great place to stay. Thank you Sandra and Mike and we hope to see you both again someday.
This was just what we was looking for, peace and quiet, home from home, everything you could have wanted as there. Very Clean when we arrived. Will recommend to family and friends and will be using again.
great place
we got lost trying to find flat. a phone call to mike Collins who came out to rescue us.on arrival we found that tea. milk, coffee. sugar. all laid on. The flat is well laid out,and is within easy reach of the beach ,two bikes to get around on,(next time we will hire a car)Mike and his wife made us very welcome There is a small shop on the main road which sells all you will need.flat is small but very clean. Towels and bedding
supplied .would I go again YES! rental of flat is very reasonable
The property is located in a fantastic position for the beach (8 minute walk), restaurants (10 minute walk), bars and supermarkets.
The apartment is beautiful with some wonderful views. The owners are on hand if anything goes wrong and are very helpful.
This really is a wonderful place if you want to get away from it all.

Woodland Villages Pond Drained Once More Due To Ground Disturbance
OCALA - They say the third time's a charm. Here in North Central Florida this is the third time, a pond is being affected by what some are calling a sinkhole. However management is calling it something else.
What used to look like a pond right in front of the Woodland Villages in Ocala has been drained by a ground disturbance. And while it's quite the sight as you're driving on SE 17th street and 25th avenue-- property management says it's not a sinkhole.
Woodland Villages was constructed in 1984 and along with it a drainage retention area also was built. "It usually has ducks in here; it's a beautiful huge fountain. It's gorgeous… it's a landmark around here that people refer to," Lindy Batten who has been living at Woodland Villages for four years and a half said.
However this area is far from looking like the retention pond it used to be. "You know I've noticed the water level going down over time. And it's very frightening being this close to my house," Batten said.
While the property manager for Woodland Villages, Deborah Harren did not want to speak to us on camera. She did tell us this ground disturbance was not classified as a sinkhole but as a "chimney" by private engineers they hired.
Harren says last year the same exact thing happened and it closed in on itself. They're hoping the same thing happens again. Traci Beck another Woodland Villages resident said, "It didn't really concern me at first but as we saw it going down, it did get me a little upset but then I talked around and after that we noticed it started coming back up."
While the pond doesn't look like it usually does, management says it's fully functional-- The pipes coming in from under 17th street are still collecting run-off water from heavy rain.
While some residents aren't too concerned, "We noticed it started coming back up. And it hasn't really bothered me at all because today's technology… they're telling us it's not a sinkhole. I actually live very close to it, and a lot of my friends had called me and asked me if I was concerned about it and I said no not at all… it hasn't bothered me," Beck said.
Others worry and hope something can be done to seal off the problem for good. "Yes, I believe the problem is going to keep on happening if it's not fixed," Batten added.
Since the situation seems to be a stable one, management is waiting until Monday to address the issue.

Dutch Rebix LPC1 modules
Came across this site and this product looks interesting to me especially as it has a low cut off frequency which I regard, -among other parameters, essential for superb bass reproduction.
Does anyone have some information about the company Rebix?
I have sent them a mail asking for the price of the LPC1 modules.
In the pages, they mentioned many things are patented. What patent # are those?

The Next Great Generation of American Indian Law Judges
Washburn, Kevin
This short essay, which was the keynote address at a conference of the same title in 2010, argues that the best predictors of good Indian law judging are education, familiarity and experience. People who have been raised believing that there are only two orders of government in the United States are often surprised when they encounter the legal existence of Indian tribes. Most judges become more comfortable with notions of tribal sovereignty after prolonged exposure to cases discussing those principles. Thus, educating all Americans about Indian tribes in primary and secondary education would produce better policy-makers in general and better judges for Indian law cases.

Now here's something you don't see every day Spider-Man dancing "Gangnam Style" next to the Olympic fountain at the Gateway Mall. Worst of all, The Joker who doesn't even belong in the same universe as Spider-Man was standing right next to him, and the two didn't start a scuffle.
The web slinger's gyrations as the song was blaring over the fountain's loudspeakers wasn't the only thing drawing quizzical looks from passing shoppers during a hot Saturday afternoon. There was a host of comic superheroes parading around downtown Salt Lake City as part of a "cosplay" scavenger hunt to promote the upcoming Salt Lake Comic Con convention Sept. 5 to 7.
There was Batman, The Penguin, Bane, Charmander from Pokémon, the Assassin from the video game "Assassin's Creed," and not one but two Deadpools, the mercenary Marvel anti-hero. It was enough to cause a rip in the space/time continuum.
"Some [passers-by] are really excited to see you," said James C. Carlson, 27, an Ebay employee from South Jordan who was dressed in a custom-made Batman suit. "And there were some who say, 'Who are they? What are they doing? I need to get out of here!' "
Cosplay is the term for comic-book and pop-culture fanatics who dress up as their favorite movie, comic book or video game characters in a loud-and-proud display of their nerdom. The Saturday "Cosplay Games" treasure hunt was just a taste of what it will be like when the convention opens at the Salt Palace Convention Center.
"There's something about not being yourself," Jacob Harmon, 19, the dancing Spider-Man from Magna, said about why he likes to cosplay. "You just want to have fun."
Carlson was with his band of friends all dressed up as characters from DC's legendary Caped Crusader universe, including villains Bane, The Scarecrow and The Penguin. Fortunately, they didn't battle it out in front of the kids playing in the Olympic fountain (if you've seen "The Avengers" or "Man of Steel," such encounters usually leave a city in rubble).
Instead, Carlson and his friends picked up raffle tickets for prizes given away at a cosplay party held at the Fear Factory haunted house later in the day. The Gateway was one of 10 downtown locations where cosplayers had to go to pick up tickets.
"Unless you are really into this culture you don't know the term ['cosplay']," said Tamara Elsberry, associate producer for the Salt Lake Comic Con who helped organize the cosplay scavenger hunt. "They're deep into the pop culture, and they love the comic book characters, and they love the movies."
That's why 21-year-old Kat Raines of Heber City was willing to brave the heat in her own homemade Charmander (from the "Pokémon" games) costume made of foam, fabric and hot glue.
"It's fun to walk around and see everyone's reactions," she said, melting in her costume. "It's an easy way to get out of yourself."

Keh asked about uses. I originally learnt the hairpin, like most figures, as part of a routine, but I find it useful when I need to take avoiding action. As such I don't have a particular preceding figure but if my LF is free with nowhere to go I might dance a hairpin. Follows could be 4-6 of reverse turn (feather finish in foxtrot)or possibly a reverse corte. If my RF is free I might dance the curved feather and maybe a hesitation change finish or open/closed impetus.

Throwback Thursday: Madeleine Albright Becomes the First Female Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright told MAKERS, "It never, ever occurred to me that I could be Secretary of State." But on January 22, 1997, the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed her as the first female U.S. Secretary of State and the highest-ranking woman in the history of U.S. government at the time of her appointment. She spent four years in office, working with the Clinton administration to reinforce U.S. alliances and promote American trade, business, labor, and environmental standards abroad.
Albright was born in then-Czechoslovakia and immigrated to the United States with her family as a teen. She went to high school in Denver, where she (fittingly) founded the international relations club and served as its first president. She then earned her BA at Wellesley and her PhD at Columbia University. In her memoir, Albright wrote, "I was taught to strive not because there were any guarantees of success but because the act of striving is in itself the only way to keep faith with life."
Albright eventually began teaching at Georgetown University, specializing in Eastern European studies. In 1993, President Clinton made her Ambassador to the United Nations. She spoke out against Cuban military pilots who shot down civilian aircraft over international waters, saying "This is not cojones. This is cowardice."
The high achiever is also the mother of twins and an avid collector of brooches. She called her jewelry part of her "personal diplomatic arsenal," and once wore a snake brooch during a meeting with Saddam Hussein.
See the brooch she chose for our interview and hear her stories in her own words:

"Of course, Charles is hungry, he's very ambitious. He wants to be prime minister," his colleague replied. The answer will surprise critics in the Lib Dem ranks who feel that Kennedy has not hit the ground running as fast as they would wish in the year since he succeeded the energetic Paddy Ashdown.
After Action Man, Inaction Man. "Where's the bloody strategy, Paddy had a strategy for everything, even lunch," the critics murmur. Today's speech must address that concern, MPs agree. There will be affection, but it will be tempered with expectation: solid policy thoughts, some inspiration and strategic direction.
Mr Kennedy refuses to be panicked. "I'm not going to do a William Hague. I'd rather people accuse me of having a low profile while my popularity goes up than have a high profile making a fool of myself while my popularity goes down," he tells his staff.
Mr Hague, at 39, a year his junior, has been an important factor in Mr Kennedy's first year. He privately admits it would have been harder finding political space for the Lib Dems with John Major or Kenneth Clarke as Tory leader. Mr Hague's populist lurch to the right - on crime, asylum, tax-and-spend - has genuinely angered Mr Kennedy.
It did not stop him inviting William and Ffion to dine at his Westminster flat with girlfriend Sarah Gurling to establish better personal rapport. Fortunately they turned him down. That was before the sensational byelection capture of Romsey by Sandra Gidley which cheered the activists.
This week's conference has (as so often) been overshadowed by dramas in the world beyond Bournemouth. But even here Mr Kennedy has been lucky. Furious with Tony Blair, voters have not all swung to the Tories. Half Labour's defectors have parked their votes with the Lib Dems, giving them poll ratings of 21% (NOP) and 22% (Guardian/ICM).
Lib Dem strategists believe it is a blip which will subside, but it is a handy blip, one which will still send them into the coming campaign with a higher base line and give some credibility to what will be the key theme of Mr Kennedy's speech at lunchtime.
It will be aimed at "One Nation" moderate Tories in the south where 50 potential Romseys lurk, provided they are not frightened off by tax-and-spend.
Even allowing for luck and bullish polls, what is surprising in Bournemouth this week is how little backbiting there has been among activists who like nothing better than to dwell on the shortcomings of whoever happens to be their leader. When one such sceptic, Lord Russell, dined the other night with MP Robert Maclennan, they agreed - to their surprise - that "Charles hasn't put a foot wrong".
"I haven't felt happier in the party for years," confided Mr Maclennan, Mr Kennedy's Highland neighbour. The historian in Lord Russell, often a thorn in Paddy Ashdown's flesh, believes that "Charles has a Gladstonian instinct for good timing and for the centre of gravity in his party. Any decision he takes will be in the interests of the party".
That last phrase is a dig at Mr Ashdown's obsession with Lib-Labbery and the joint consultative committee (JCC) he formed with Tony Blair - albeit without getting either of the promised referendums, on the euro or electoral reform for Westminster. One of Mr Kennedy's tasks this past year has been what aides call "a gentle distancing" from the JCC, ready to fight Labour hard in the election, but done without a fuss.
A few delegates complain that Mr Kennedy privately promised to get more out of Mr Blair. They also say that he may be good at doing media, but lacks drive or organisational skills.
Policy needed a shake-up when he inherited the leadership. They had even slipped on the environment where Lib Dems were once ahead of the game. Europe, another key policy area, was frustrating for different reasons, Labour's caution on the euro.
Those fields, plus a strong commitment to good public services and a Highlander's gut instinct for social justice are what will distinguish the Lib Dem manifesto.
But Mr Kennedy's hold on his party also rests on the tours he has made of the grassroots and the "more open and collegiate, less military" style he has adopted among Commons colleagues.
His most nervous moment in the past year was his appearance at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. Mr Kennedy is old enough to remember the fury over Michael Foot's duffle coat appearance in 1981. Notoriously parsimonious about clothes ("I've been trying to get him out of £99 suits," says one aide) he went out and bought a £500 overcoat.
Optimistic talk of winning an extra 50 seats is just that. Mr Kennedy (always a byelection pessimist) believes he can do better than the current 47 seats, but his chief interest is in positioning Lib Dem candidates in second place, not third place, with an eye to the general election of 2005.

Selective admissions urged 'to attract right talent'
Related topics
The SAR should be given a say in choosing the kind of people that come to Hong Kong, a local NPC deputy suggested last night.
Maria Tam Wai-chu, also a member of the influential Basic Law Committee, said a preference system for attracting the right talent to the SAR should be pursued.
'It is ludicrous . . . what we need are hi-tech, highly skilled [people] . . . and we should have a quota for them in the 150 daily quota,' she told the ATV programme Newsline.
'I will be happy to keep this in mind and keep pursuing it. I think that it will be of great benefit to Hong Kong.' She added a mechanism should be established to pursue the matter with Beijing.
'We must try and talk to the Central Government and say, 'If you want us to develop on a hi-tech basis, we need the new type of talent and let's co-ordinate on it'.' The SAR now allowed whoever was granted the Certificate of Entitlement to migrate.
But Timothy Tong Hin-ming, Deputy Secretary for Security, warned the practice would be unlawful because there was 'a legal remedy for those affected'.
'You cannot just pick whom you want because the court will never allow you to do that,' he said.
He added the household survey on eligible newcomers would not be aborted, even though Chief Secretary for Administration Anson Chan Fang On-sang said a decision would be made by the end of this month.

Elbit Awarded Israeli MoD Contracts
- To Provide Operation and Maintenance Services for the Israeli Air Force's Flight Academy
- The contracts are follow-on orders to existing programs, attesting to the IAF's high level of satisfaction with the service, availability, usability and flight safety provided to date by Elbit Systems
Elbit Systems Ltd. (the "Company") recently announced that it was awarded two follow-on contracts by the Israeli Ministry of Defense ("IMOD") for the operation and maintenance of the Israeli Air Force's ("IAF") Flight Academy trainer aircraft and helicopters. These contracts were part of the Company's December 31, 2012 announcement regarding contract awards by the IMOD in the aggregate amount of approximately $315 million covering several business areas. Under the first, such contract for the IAF, which is a follow-on to a contract awarded in 2004, Elbit Systems will provide full logistics and maintenance services on a basis of "Power by the Hour" for the Bell 206 ("Sayfan") and operational level maintenance for Cobra AH-1A ("Tzefa") helicopters. In the second contract, a follow-on to a contract awarded in 2009, Elbit Systems will supply maintenance services for the HBC (Hawker-Beechcraft) T-6 ("Efroni") trainer aircraft. Both contracts will enter into effect during 2014 following completion of the previously awarded contracts.
Yoram Shmuely, Co-General Manager of Elbit Systems' Aerospace Division, noted:"The decision to renew the contracts for these operation and maintenance programs attests to the IMOD and the IAF's high level of satisfaction with the service, availability, usability and flight safety achieved throughout the programs to date, ranking Elbit Systems high in the IAF's quality and performance criteria". Shmuely added: "We are witnessing a growing global trend toward privatization of training operation and management, and we hope that our experience and reputation achieved in projects tailored for the IAF will enhance our ability to obtain similar projects worldwide."
Global Military Fitness Training Equipment Market Research Report 2017
Elbit Systems has been providing the IAF with maintenance services for its training aircraft and helicopters since 2002.

"My school's graduation invitations were so expensive and all of my friends bought them. They were plain and simple with only words, but I was able to buy my invitations from this site with my own picture and the cute fonts that they have available for way less than the boring invitations my school was selling."
"I found it very difficult to find a simple layout that would work for twins for graduation. I was able to make this one work. I liked that I could add a photo to the back as well. In the back photo I put the twins in their university shirts. It would have been nice if I could have matched the font from the "class of" as part of my description. Overall it was a simple and elegant design that turned out great."
"The quality of the paper far exceeded my expectations! it was thick enough that when sent in the mail i didn't worry about it getting bent! I was very happy with my decision to order from tiny prints and would order from them again!"

Q: What is a research-based programme?
A: In a research-based programme the student is required to undertake original and credible research assignments and a final dissertation or thesis.

Critical analysis of the data, based on strong theoretical foundations, is then followed by generalization and applications that maybe made.
Q: How is a research-based programme different from a taught programme?

Q: What is the distinct advantage of pursuing a research-based programme?

A: One of the key objectives of BUiD is to become a regional leader in promoting and conducting world class research and innovation to create new knowledge and solutions relevant to the needs of the UAE.

The committee aims to identify, plan and conduct research agendas nationally and regionally through close collaboration with local, national and regional governments.
Some of the key strategic areas of research at BUiD are Arabic Language Technology, Derivatives, Educational Management, Electronics Enterprises Markets, English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics, Environmental Designs, Financial Risk Management, Islamic Financial Products, Management of Technology, Performance Improvement Strategy, Promoting Excellence in Construction Industry, Special Needs Education in the Region and Sustainable Innovation and Development in Industry
Q: What makes a BUiD student different from students of other universities?
A: In addition to developing research skills and theoretical knowledge BUiD students also acquire strong presentation and communication skills. They acquire these skills by working closely with the Faculty members who combine experience and expertise in their field.
All BUiD students are assigned personal tutors who act as mentors throughout his/her study period at the University. Personal tutors help students in choosing modules, offer guidance on assignments and support students in the successful completion of his/her degree programme.
When undertaking their dissertations BUiD students also work under direct supervision of their dissertation supervisors who help them select topics that are appropriate for postgraduate research and both relevant to the region and the student's work and experience. As a result of the close partnership between students and Faculty, and the confidence students gain in conducting their own research. Many students at BUiD present papers at International Conferences and publish papers in leading journals and international publications with their academic staff.
Q: How can I contact BUiD or obtain further information?

Re: Rebuild head, or replace, and with what?
For anyone following this thread, WestMarine just published their weekly sale catalog:
West Marine eCatalogs
The Jabsco Twist'n'Lock is discounted from $195 list to $160, and then there's a $25 rebate.
I'm going to look at my head when I'm there on Sunday and see which model Groco I have; if it's one of the better quality, metal ones, then I'll rebuild. Otherwise, at $135, the Jabsco could fit the bill nicely. I'm still planning to walk the boat show in Annapolis to see if I can get a good deal on a Raritan PHC, too, but the Jabsco could be interesting.

I'm a fan of rebuilding the head and having a rebuild kit aboard so you know you can make it work later when you're in that lovely secluded anchorage and the crapper stops working you already have an idea how it goes together.
Regardless of whether you will rebuild or replace you need to completely clear your blackwater hose from the toilet. The best way I've found is to go to the pumpout dock and completely pump and rinse out the holding tank. Next flush the head with plenty of freshwater to completely purge any blackwater from the hose, then switch to dry. Have someone else help by either pumping the hose dry or holding the pumpout suction hose for you. There will be barely any effluent that comes out of the hose to the holding tank!
Enjoy this project.
Re: Rebuild head, or replace, and with what?
Group9, I think you've just hit on the winning argument. Not so much the "Admiral demands it" part, but the idea of working from a known-good head so that, when something breaks, I will have a better sense of where the problem(s) are. At this time, I'm not sure WHERE the problems are (if any) or how to fix them.
I'm going to visit the boat on Sunday, and since I'll be nearby, I'll head over to the Annapolis boat show, too. Who knows, maybe I'll find a REALLY good deal on a head.
Re: Rebuild head, or replace, and with what?
I think the main reason I go with a new head almost every time is that a working head is the one thing by significant other absolutely demands on our boat.
I am not going to try and calm her displeasure when my repair doesn't work, by saying, "I really thought I could fix it, honey."
Re: Rebuild head, or replace, and with what?
I had terrible luck rebuilding a Jabsco, but two new replacement units on two different boats worked out great...both units worked fine for fairly light weekend use. I like the Raritan PH II unit we have currently, but it will be soon due for a rebuild. While I like the idea of repair versus replace, my expereince with a rebuild was less than satisfactory. The Raritan we have was rebuilt a couple years ago, but the pump isn't doing as good a job as it should. I'me not thinking to rebuild it again.
Re: Rebuild head, or replace, and with what?
I recently rebuilt a similar looking Groco, and the rebuild took about 10-15 minutes and really wasn't that messy/stinky. Flush a bunch of fresh water (or something stronger) undo about 4 bolts, replace a bunch of gaskets, o-rings, joker valve, etc, grease the pump, put it all back together, and wash up. The kit was more expensive than I thought it should be, but much cheaper than a similar quality head. I can't imagine replacing the head would be easier or less messy or more cost effective than what I experienced. I hear the several people saying the cheapo Jabisco works fine, but I personally would rather have a rebuilt ~$400 head that I already own, than a new ~$150 head that gets questionable reviews.
Re: Rebuild head, or replace, and with what?
I agree with the idea of knowing how to fix it being a good thing. But a) I'm not likely to be taking extended cruises any time soon, and b) I have a lot of other, more valuable ways to spend my time at this point. If we were talking 20 minutes to replace and 30-35 to rebuild, then ok. But if this will be an hours-long process, I'd rather replace.

Re: Rebuild head, or replace, and with what?
I generally prefer to fix rather than replace too. On my Groco head (which was at least 3 generations out of date) I not only needed to buy a rebuild kit, but I needed to buy two upgrade kits to get the head up to date. That was about $200, and a new Raritan PHC was about the same price. This was a highly recommended head from Peggy, so I switched.
I also like that Raritan sells just the pump, so if my current system ever goes completely dead I can keep the existing bowl (the big part) and replace just the pump (the small part). This would also be an option for upgrading the existing head if it uses the same size of bowl.
My impression is also that Groco heads are higher quality than Jabsco.

Christabel Chamarette
|Christabel Chamarette
|Senator for Western Australia
|In office
12 March 1992 – 30 June 1996
|Preceded by
|Jo Vallentine
|Personal details
1 May 1948
Hyderabad, India
|Indian Australian
|Political party
|Greens WA
|Community worker
Christabel Marguerite Alain Chamarette, sometimes Christabel Bridge (born 1 May 1948) was a Greens Senator for Western Australia from 1992 to 1996.[1]
Personal life[edit]
Born in Hyderabad, India in 1948,[1] Chamarette is of Anglo-Indian [2] and French Huguenot ancestry.[3] She has worked as a community worker in Bangladesh and later as a clinical psychologist at Fremantle Prison,[3] after gaining a Bachelor, and later a Masters, in Psychology from the University of Western Australia. She also has a Certificate of Tropical Community Medicine and Hygiene from the University of Liverpool.
In 1998, Chamarette led an eight-week discussion group called "Conversations for the 21st Century", while working as a psychologist with child sexual abuse cases and completing a doctorate on the psychopathology of politics.[4] She has been a member of the Anglican Social Responsibilities Commission, the Aboriginal Driver Training Programme, the Psychologists for the Prevention of War and the Christian Justice Association.[3]
Chamarette was appointed to the Senate in 1992, following the resignation of Jo Vallentine.[1] In 1995, she proposed an Export Control Amendment Bill that would ban woodchip exports from old-growth forests.[5] She was opposed to privatising Telstra[6] and delayed the Mabo legislation by demanding the inclusion of mineral rights in the compensation package for native title holders.[7]
She was defeated at the 1996 general election; her term ending several months later on 30 June 1996.[1] Chamarette said that when working in the Senate, she thought it was the most important work of her life, but she now refers to it as simply "useful experience".[8]
After politics[edit]
After leaving politics, Chamarette was Clinical Director of SafeCare, formerly the Sexual Assault in Families Program, from 1997 to 2008.
She was an expert consultant to the Department of Justice and was appointed to the Western Australian parole board in 2002. She was one of four members who resigned in 2005 in protest against the State Government's response to the Mahoney inquiry.[9][10]
She is currently in private practice which involves individual and group therapy, supervision and teaching. She is also a single expert witness appointed by the Family Court of Western Australia and a supervisor/consultant to Acacia Prison.

Favtape, one of our favorite ways to build online playlists, has relaunched with a host of new features that mean the site is no longer exclusively tied to Pandora and last.fm playlists. I fact, the revamped Favtape is now a worthy replacement for the still-on-RIAA-compelled-hiatus, Muxtape.
When we looked at Favtape earlier this year, its features were somewhat limited — the idea was to provide a very simple way of getting on-demand access to your Pandora and last.fm playlists. But since then the popular Muxtape was forced to shutdown and, sensing an opportunity, Favtape has expanded to embrace many of Muxtape's features.
Most notably, Favtape now offers accounts, which are free and allow you to create mixes using any song, rather than old method, which imported your data from Pandora or last.fm. Along with the new accounts come the ability to re-order of your playlists — an obvious feature that should have been available from the beginning.
Other new features include a host of links below each song in your playlist. — you'll now have one-click access to lyrics, music videos and album art. Those looking to post their playlists elsewhere will be happy to know that there's now an embeddable player available.
Now, I know what you're thinking — Favtape has turned into Muxtape, which means surely, it too will be shut down.
Perhaps, but Favtape is different in one very important way — it doesn't host any of the song files on its own site. Instead Favtape leverages the Seeqpod API to stream music. Seeqpod in turn is only indexing files already available on the web.
Of course that doesn't mean the files are infringement-free, it just means that there's no big target for the RIAA to go after.
Hopefully that means the recording industry won't turn their sights on Favtape, but of course you never know, so enjoy it while you can.

Exercise: How to Get Started
Frequently Asked Questions
1. I haven't exercised in years. How do I start?
If you haven't been active for a long time, it's important to start out at a low level of effort and work your way up slowly. Beginning slowly will help you become more fit without straining your body. For example, you may want to start with walking, biking, or swimming at a comfortable pace and then gradually do more, or start strengthening exercises with 1- or 2-pound weights and gradually add heavier weights. You may want to talk with your doctor if you decide to start a vigorous exercise program or significantly increase your physical activity.

Russian Headlines May Return
This week's Asia-Pacific summit in China provided several photo opportunities for global leaders. Most focused on President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin. In most of those pictures Mr. Putin appeared cheerful, confident, and relaxed. However, given recent economic developments, in private he may be anything but cheerful. What it means for investors is the potential for some negative headlines to emanate related to Russia as the year-end approaches. I suspect those headlines are likely to center on saber rattling in Ukraine, similar to the headlines from this past summer.
Based on the following recent conditions, I have some elevated concern that Russian headlines could impede the appreciation of global risk assets, even if only temporary. Most importantly, investors should not give in to the temptation to allocate toward Russian equities, bonds, or currency. During the summer I offered that "take a pass" strategy, and despite cheaper values, I still would not assume the significant allocation risk associated with those Russian assets.

- Russia must defend its free falling currency, and unfortunately, capital controls is the most likely weapon. Although not implemented yet, its use would isolate Russia even further in the global economic system.
- Russian GDP for 2015 is forecast at 0%, and more than likely will be worse than that and heading deep into recession
- Russian inflation has now surged above 8%
- The 10-year yield on a Russian government bond is above 10%
- Oil prices have declined nearly 20% over the past four months, contracting a significant source of revenue
- Russian equities have declined to five-year lows in the past few days (Figure 2)

Countdown to Tax Day: Free & Low-Cost Tax Resources
I think the axiom, "Know your limits," is great all-purpose advice. I know that I'm able to diagnose and treat a cold, for example, but I wouldn't attempt to set a broken bone. The same is true for tax preparation. I'd never hire a paid tax preparer before at least attempting to do my taxes on my own – and you shouldn't either.
- Copy this link to share with friends: http://bit.ly/fDsBS0
Fortunately, those paid tax preparers have a lot of free and low-cost competition. Even if you decide that you need some expert advice, there are plenty of tax resources available to you.
Get Answers to Your Tax Questions
The Internal Revenue Service: For as much as we joke about the IRS being a dense, confusing and sometimes evil government agency, they really have a wealth of resources on their website – everything from tax forms and publications to frequently asked questions and tax tips. When I have a tax question, this is the first place I turn because the information is comprehensive and I trust the source.
IRS tax help line (800-829-1040): Can't find what you need on the IRS site or don't have easy internet access? IRS employees are also available to answer your question over the phone.
IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center: For face-to-face assistance with tax issues, or for the answers to questions that can't be answered online or through the IRS tax help line, visit the IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center in your area.
About.com's tax preparation information: If you're having trouble understanding the information on the IRS's website or just want another option, About.com has a lot of income tax information.
Personal finance blog WalletPop.com: This is another site that's chock full of tax-time tips and links to other resources.
Prepare & File Your Return
Out of habit, many of us turn to tax preparation companies such as Jackson Hewitt or software such as TurboTax. But these days there are many free software packages that enable you to prepare and electronically file your federal return. Additionally, many states also have options that allow you to prepare and file your state tax return.
Before opening your wallet for help preparing and filing your tax return, try one of the free options. If you don't like the results, you can always double-check it by using another one of the free services before you file.
Help Preparing and Filing Returns, and Resolving Tax Disputes
Here's a little secret: If you're elderly, in the military or simply low- or middle-income, a volunteer is probably willing to prepare and file your tax return – for free. My mom was a volunteer tax return preparer for years, and the service she worked with even supplied a stamped, addressed envelope in which to mail your return.
If you're just starting to look for free tax prep help, be prepared to call around. Many services will have been taking appointments for weeks, so you may have to contact a few services before you find one that's able to help you.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program: This program, run by the IRS, offers free tax-return assistance for filers who have income of $49,000 or less and are unable to prepare their own taxes. (VITA also works with the Armed Forces Tax Council, which helps prepare tax returns for members of the military.)
AARP Tax-Aide: AARP offers free help with federal and state tax returns for low and middle-income taxpayers. (You don't have to be a senior to qualify.)
Catholic Charities: In many areas, Catholic Charities provides free tax returns preparation assistance. Contact your local branch for information and assistance.
Low Income Taxpayer Clinic program: These volunteers provide free and low-cost assistance with tax disputes, including representation in court or before the IRS.

All Dem Leaves
November 26, 2012 @ 4:29 pm | Filed under: Books, Huck, Nature Study, Picture Book Spotlight
Autumn Leaves by Ken Robbins.
This is Huck's current favorite read-aloud. I grabbed it from the library on impulse a couple of weeks ago—we're short on fall color here, and the cover appealed to me, but I didn't expect it to grab the three-year-old's attention. Shows what I know. The kid is smitten. He thinks it's called "All Dem Leaves."
The bold images on the cover are a good foretaste of what's inside. We've spent many happy moments poring over these bright leaves, matching their shapes to their names. Turns out we have a lot of sweet gum trees on our street—almost the only sparks of autumnal foliage we see here. (Mind: we're not complaining. 70-degree weather and soaring blue skies. I'm content to satisfy my fall-color longings with children's books.)
Rilla's a fan of the book too—it ties in quite serendipitously to the fun we've been having with the Trees of England course over at Memrise. (By golly, I know my horse chestnut from my blackthorn now.)
Most of you probably live in places where the gold and scarlet has been stripped from the branches by now, in late November. (Jiminy crickets, it's late November. I'm quaking.) This recommendation may come a bit late; we'll all be in Holly and Ivy mode soon. But if you're not ready to let go of autumn, you might enjoy a ramble through these colorful woods.

Sort of unrelated but have you run into any not so child friendly hints on memrise? We had a tattooed backside crudely described and shown in the French course.
Love that Autumn Leaves/AllDem Leaves. That boy's got an ear for near rhyme!
Ah! I only just started. I didn't know we could make up our own!
Ah, more book recommendations:-)
Cygnet is still desperately keen on 'Goodnight, goodnight Construction Site' which we gave him last Christmas, and the other two have had a lovely year with Redwall and Betsy-Tacy, all of which I discovered thanks to your recommendations:-)
So I'm busily reading through, looking for more inspiration for this year (and hoping to get to ordering in a timely fashion this year!)
Delighted to see the Memrise British trees thing — at last I might be able to keep up with my children! Thanks!

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Bruins opened the first of three on their current road trip in Long Island against the Islanders on Saturday night. The game signified a bizzarre stretch in the schedule where the Bruins play the three road games after only having played four previously all season. Earlier this month the B's shelled New York in a 6-2 win, and were coming into action having won 7 straight to climb up the standings after early struggles.
Their success continued, with a 6-0 win over the Islanders Saturday night.
After a quiet start with not much rhythm from either side, Tyler Seguin set up a great opportunity for Patrice Bergeron at the right of the post, who finished past New York goalie Rick DiPietro to give Boston a 1-0 lead. The goal came at 7:08 and was the fourth of the season for Bergeron. The Bruins offensive show continued soon after that, with Boston commanding possession of the puck against the lowly Islanders. After a short two-man advantage, DiPietro made a costly mistake, giving up the puck to Nathan Horton who reached the back of the net. The power play goal was Horton's sixth and it came at 12:24.
With nearly five minutes to go in the first, it was all Bruins to that point. Boston was outshooting New York 11-1, giving Tim Thomas a relative breather of a period. Then, after the he stopped short-lived momentum from New York, the Bruins got right back to work against DiPietro, thanks to Chris Kelly. Also his sixth goal of the season, Kelly blasted a deep shot past the helpless goalie at 18:45, effectively ending the period on a high note as Boston took a commanding 3-0 lead, outshooting New York 13-2.
The Islanders immediately switched things up to start the second period, replacing DiPietro in net with Anders Nilsson who was making his NHL debut. While the score didn't change, New York did come out with more fight than in the first, getting more shots in the first 2:16 than they did in the entire first period. The Bruins continued to create their own opportunities, as Horton just missed his second goal of the game clanking one off the post on a power play. The period ended in the same 3-0 score, but highlighted the tremendous defense of the Bruins, who didn't let New York have any real scoring opportunities.
With only 20 minutes remaining, the Bruins just needed to hold on to their three goal lead for the eighth consecutive victory. Instead they got back to their offensive firepower, lighting up the Islanders for an additional three goals. The first came at 10:25 from Andrew Ference seconds following the conclusion of a power play. Chris Kelly provided a great screen on that play, and then scored his second goal of the night at 12:54 to give Boston a 5-0 lead. Kelly cleaned up his own blocked shot on the goal, and Zdeno Chara joined the party at 18:15 on a 2 on 1 with Brad Marchand, punctuating the blowout as the Bruins destroyed New York 6-0. Amazingly, ten different players earned points for Boston, who will hope for similar success on Monday night in Montreal.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I'm super excited because I think I've talked my husband into co-writing a new issue of Comics & Beer which will actually be about -- gasp -- comics and beer. He may not realize he's a "co-writer," but he agreed to a couple of beer-related articles as we rated and discussed beers at length today (as usual), and he always has shit to say about comics.
I also have a video coming up on making…
