The Stour to the sea: part one
Dorset Life's very own Old Man River, Roger Guttridge, explores the upper reaches of Dorset's main watercourse from Bourton to Kings Mill
Published in August '15
Although it starts its meandering journey in Wiltshire, the Stour is in all other respects a Dorset river, although only since 1974, when local government reorganisation transferred its lower reaches – together with the boroughs of Bournemouth and Christchurch – from Hampshire. The river's source, of course, is in the glorious surroundings of Stourhead, but anyone expecting a comparably grand backdrop for its entrance into its true home county two or three miles to the south will be disappointed. As it crosses the county boundary at Bourton, the Stour is greeted by perhaps the greatest eyesore in the whole of Dorset – an unsightly 1.4 hectares of derelict industrial buildings, rubble and graffiti.
It wasn't always that way. Peering through the fencing and vegetation at the rear, I glimpsed the surviving millpond (more of a lake really) and imagined how contrastingly picturesque it might have been when there was traditional milling here in the distant past. By the mid-nineteenth century, it had become a flax and sack factory employing 200 people and powered by the biggest water-wheel in Dorset with a diameter of 60ft. On the gateposts of a nearby driveway, two hand-grenades carved in stone remind us that during the First World War, Bourton Foundry added three million Mills bombs to a production line that had also included boilers and engines.
Production ended abruptly one night in June 1917, when eight inches of rain in twenty-four hours caused the upstream Gasper Lake dam to burst and unleashed a flash-flood that washed away bridges, farm animals, fields of freshly cut hay and hundreds of tons of foundry fuel and machinery. Although some riverside cottages at Bourton were flooded to roof level, there was – miraculously – no loss of human life, and even some pigs managed to swim to safety.
By the time Monica Hutchings made her 1950s journey from sea to source, the foundry had long since given way to a milk processing plant. In 'Dorset River', published in 1956, she describes the premises of Wilts United Dairies as a 'model affair, all chromium and concrete, with tennis courts for its employees and watercress beds as a sideline'. What's left of the concrete is now crumbling and defaced, the chromium rusted, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a tennis court or a sprig of watercress. Even the Stour itself takes some finding: it can be heard but not seen after taking to a culvert that runs under the old factory and beyond.
It's not a pretty sight but there is hope. In a 'small world' moment, my arrival at Bourton coincided with the visit of three developer-types, who eyed me suspiciously as I approached with notebook, pen and camera. They probably thought I was a local objector about to give them grief. When I explained my purpose, one said, 'Hello, Roger.' It was an old classmate from 1960s Blandford, who explained that there were plans to redevelop but that some people objected. I couldn't help but think that anything would be better than the present blot on the landscape.
From Bourton, our fledgling river trickles down to Silton, where its modest proportions can be observed from a little humpback bridge. Further downstream, there are tributaries carrying more water than the mother river does at Silton, where it has yet to feel the benefit of the Blackmore Vale's voluminous run-off. If you're familiar with the Stour's lower reaches, it's hard to believe that this is the same beast.
Silton the village is equally modest, but if you've ventured this far, it's worth continuing to the 15th-century church, especially on a clear day, as the churchyard offers fine views. In an adjoining field Judge Wyndham's Oak spreads its ancient branches. The judge was Sir Hugh Wyndham, a Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, who lived here and died in 1684. His oak, whose shade he enjoyed, has already survived him by 331 years, though even at the time of Sir Frederick Treves' visit for his Highways and Byways book a century ago, it was a 'battered and distorted giant over 30ft in circumference'. It survives today as the elder statesman amid a few dozen saplings of various deciduous species.
The fledgling Stour not only gives Milton-on-Stour its name but is perhaps the village's greatest asset as it divides and flows picturesquely through the gardens of elegant houses. A few fields away is Purns Mill (formerly Parham's after past owner Matthew Parham), which the great John Constable painted or sketched four times in 1823–24 while staying at Gillingham Vicarage with his friend, Archdeacon John Fisher. When the mill burned down two years later, Fisher told the artist it now existed 'only on your canvas'. Time has done little to mellow the old mill's 19th-century replacement, described by Fisher as 'a huge, misshapen, new, bright, brick, modern, improved, patent monster'. It is owned today by Philip Murray, a descendant of the Matthews family, who ran Wyke Brewery until they sold to Hall & Woodhouse in 1972 and used Purns Mill for the malting of their barley. Until 2003, it was also G B Matthews' animal feed factory. The buildings are now used mostly for storage.
Purns Mill sits not on the Stour but the first of its major tributaries, Shreen Water, which rises at Mere. Philip Murray told me the Shreen used to contain much more water but extraction has taken its toll. The two streams flow almost parallel until they meet behind Waitrose at Gillingham, where the slightly larger Shreen is often mistaken for its future partner as it passes the Town Mills site a few yards upstream.
Treves called Gillingham a 'sprawling, uninteresting town, with a drab church too large for it, and many new red brick houses which are elemental in their ugliness'. The royal surgeon appears not to have noticed the Town Mills which, to modern eyes, were the townscape's saving grace. Constable obviously thought so, as he painted both Town Mills and Town Bridge as well as Purns Mill. From 1769 until 1895, a silk mill adjoined the grist mill, the former employing scores of girl apprentices from the London workhouses to 'learn the art and mystery of a silk throwster'. The mill buildings were destroyed by fire in 1982 and the site redeveloped. A three-storey apartment block graces the site today, and could at first glance be mistaken for a prison, its residents protected from mishap by bars at their windows, its structure half-surrounded in moat-like fashion by the Shreen complete with artificial floodplain.
After Gillingham, the river gives its name to the next three villages – East Stour, West Stour and Stour Provost. In these parts there is or was a mill at almost every turn, though some have fared better than others. West Stour Mill (which is technically in East Stour, as the river forms the parish boundary) survives as a semi-derelict storehouse along with the remains of its wheelhouse. It's at least two generations since the wheel turned and it was a dairy farm until recently. Eighteenth century visitors no doubt included 'Tom Jones' author Henry Fielding, who lived at East Stour and based his character Parson Adams on local clergyman William Young.
Fifehead Mill at Fifehead Magdalen comprises three buildings in various stages of ruin. It's known locally as the 'silk mill', which it may have been, but from farmer Peter Wade, I learned that in the 18th century it was a fulling mill for a factory that made coarse woollen clothing. This was almost certainly swanskin, produced exclusively in the Blackmore Vale for the army, navy and Newfoundland fisheries until the early 1800s, when competition from the cotton mills 'up north' wrecked the industry. Peter's farm across the road is still called Factory Farm.
As the Stour curves towards Stalbridge and is joined by the Cale-Bow tributary system, we reach West Mill, geographically closer to Marnhull but called Stalbridge Mill in the earliest OS map in 1811. It's not only the Stour's most westerly mill but the only surviving full-time commercial mill on the entire river. Its wheel has not turned in anger since 1946, when land drainage for agriculture meant there was insufficient water to drive it year-round. The diesel engine installed then is still in use, powering the stones that grind grain for C C Moore Ltd, suppliers of animal feed, pet food and fish bait. A little of the grain is used to feed the resident swans and a flourishing fish population.
In peaceful contrast to both the wreckage of Fifehead Mill and West Mill's busy working environment is Kings Mill beside the Stalbridge-Marnhull road, redundant but perfectly preserved, along with its equipment, as a grade II listed building. The present building dates from 1830 but there's been a mill here since at least 1250, when a scribe at Glastonbury Abbey referred to 'Robertus of Kingesmulun' – Robert of Kings Mill. Nearby Kings Mill Bridge is equally historic and retains the plaque threatening transportation for life to anyone 'wilfully injuring' it. Beyond the bridge, yet another substantial tributary, the Lydden, further swells the flow as the Stour heads for its next port of call, Cut Mill at Hinton St Mary. ◗

There are times when we want to share a wired internet connection to others through our Windows PC and this is when we need a capable WiFi hotspot software. Thankfully, we have Connectify for Windows, which is so much more than being a simple internet sharing software. While it shares your internet connection flawlessly and securely, it also brings so many advanced features like File sharing, Bridge, Dispatch and more, which are unmatched by its competitors. But like every other software or tool, it comes with its share of problems and those problems can make us look for an alternative.
Why we need a Connectify alternative?
Connectify is a very feature rich software and there's no doubt it's the best WiFi hotspot application but as we mentioned, there are a few issues. While Connectify comes in a free "Lite" version, it is very limited and the paid versions dubbed Connectify PRO and MAX respectively start at $35 and $50 respectively, which might be a bit steep for some.
Another issue is using Connectify can be a little complicated at times due to the great number of features built right into it. We love some of its alternatives due to the simple reason that they are way easier to use. If you want advanced features, there's no match for Connectify but if you are looking for a simple WiFi hotspot software, then you should look at some of the great Connectify alternatives for Windows we have found.
Best Connectify Alternatives to Share Your Internet
OSToto Hotspot (Free)
You must be aware of OSToto Hotspot (Yes, we don't like the name either!) from its older name 160WiFi. While the name has changed, it remains a great WiFi hotspot software. It comes with a simple interface, which lets you start your WiFi hotspot with a single click. The software shares a secure internet connection, thanks to its usage of standard WPA2 PSK password security. Other features include ability to blacklist devices, set time when you want the hotspot to turn off, allow hotspot to run even when you hibernate the PC and more. The best thing about OSToto Hostpot is it's totally free and there are no ads either.
Download OSToto Hotspot (Free)
Compatibility: Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP, Vista.
Baidu WiFi Hotspot (Free)
Baidu WiFi Hotspot software is another great Connectify alternative, as it has a great mix of simple and advanced features. The good thing is the advanced features never hinder the experience here, unlike Connectify. Apart from sharing your internet connection quickly, the software also lets you send and receive files from a device that's connected to the WiFi hotspot, which is a pretty handy feature. Baidu WiFi Hotspot is fast, smooth and it's also free.
Download Baidu WiFi Hotspot (Free)
Compatibility: Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP.
Thinix WiFi Hotspot (Paid)
Thinix WiFi Hotspot software is a great internet sharing software, which along with simple internet sharing brings a few cool intuitive features. As with any other WiFi hotspot software, it lets you configure the hotspot the way you want. Along with that, you can prioritize devices, so if a device of yours is streaming a video, you can give it a higher priority in the settings, so that there are no hiccups in playback. Thinix offers you a free trial for a week in which you can use the hotspot for 15 minutes every day. For unlimited usage, you can get the paid version for $12.95. Even though Thinix's official website says the software only supports Windows 7 and 8, we tested the app on Windows 10 and it works fine.
Download Thinix WiFi Hotspot (Free trial for a week/ Paid version starts at $12.95)
Compatibility: Windows 10, 8, 7.
Virtual Router Plus (Free)
Virtual Router Plus has been a popular WiFi hotspot software for quite a while now and even though the developers don't seem to be actively updating the app anymore, it still gets the job done. It is the most simple WiFi hotspot app you will ever come across. The software has no additional features and it's not really a bad thing as long as you only want the WiFi hotspot feature. You can configure the name and password of the hotspot and you can start or stop it, that's it. Virtual Router Plus should be fine with a lot of people, who only want a stable WiFi hotspot software. While the Virtual Router Plus website says it only supports Windows 7 and 8, we tested it on Windows 10 and it works as it's supposed to, so no worries there.
Download Virtual Router Plus (Free)
Compatibility: Windows 10,8, 7.
LionScripts WiFi Hotspot Creator (Free)
LionScripts WiFi Hotspot Creator is also a very simple WiFi hotspot enabling software. The software comes in two versions. One is a free version with ads and other is a paid version, without ads. As we mentioned, the software is pretty simple with only options to configure the name and password of the WiFi hotspot. There are also options to start hotspot with or without opening the software. Just like other hotspot softwares, the website shows support for Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP but we ran it on Windows 10 and it runs fine.
Download LionScripts WiFi Hotspot Creator (Free version/ Ad-free Paid version $11)
Compatibility: Windows 10,8, 7, Vista and XP.
MyPublicWiFi (Free)
MyPublicWiFi is one of the oldest WiFi hotspot softwares around and not much has changed in the software but it still works. While the software does share your internet with ease, it also brings some cool advanced features that might come handy. The software lets you block any user's access and it also allows you to block features like file sharing over WiFi, which might eat up your bandwidth. MyPublicWiFi also features a URL logging feature, which as the name suggests logs all the websites visited from your WiFi hotspot. Overall, MyPublicWiFi continues to be a great WiFi hotspot software and it remains free to use.
Download MyPublicWiFi (Free)
Compatibility: Windows 10, 8, 7, Server 2008.
Bonus: Windows 10's WiFi Sense Feature
Windows 10 has introduced several new features and some of them aren't really well known, one of them is WiFi Sense. WiFi Sense is hidden away in Windows 10's Settings->Network & Internet->WiFi->Manage WiFi Settings. It lets you share your WiFi network to your contacts (Outlook, Skype or Facebook) without sharing the network's password. It's a fast, secure way if you want to share your WiFi to your friends and family. It's important to note here that people with only Windows 10 or Windows Phone devices will be able to connect through WiFi Sense.
SEE ALSO: 35 Best Windows 10 Apps to Use
These are the best Connectify alternatives available and they all support the latest Windows version, that is Windows 10. So, you should definitely give them a try and let us know which WiFi hotspot software you liked the most.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Collegetracks, Bethesda, MD, USA
As a pediatrician and a parent, I understand how difficult it can be to navigate the college application process for even the most pampered children. Helping the student population at Wheaton High School is immensely gratifying as they are often without home support and they are tremendously appreciative. Many are new immigrants and/or first generation college attendees. Getting into college will hopefully enable their entire family to benefit from their experience. I have learned as much from them about their life's experiences as they have learned from me about the application process. I love reading their college essays and helping them tell their own often fascinating stories in their own voice.

How to improve brain power is very much akin to how to improve muscle power.
If I want more strength in my bicep, I need to increase the number of muscle fibers in my bicep, by using resistance training.
When I stress the muscle doing curls, my body will allocate muscle building resources to the bicep, increase the number of muscle fibers there, and viola, my bicep grows.
The same techniques work for brain power, although the human brain actually aids and abets the process by creating new brain cells everyday for us in a process called neurogenesis.
The resistance training is providing our brains what is called a novel learning experience. If those new neurons are not challenged by some basic change in our routine, perhaps like using the other hand to work your computer mouse, (did you shudder?) or a computerized brain fitness program, your brain may not keep them.
When challenged those new brain cells migrate to the area around the hippocampus where memories are made.
Without our memories folks, we lose who we are, and that is a sad thing to have happen.
OK, so we can do some resistance training to lock in the day's new neurons, which enhances another very important aspect of the human brain, its neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity is the word used to describe the brains constant efforts to rewire itself by neurons searching out new neurons for connection. If those connections are deemed beneficial by your brain, a process which happens in your sleep, they are kept and are available for improved brain power.
The more neurons available for connections, just like muscle fibers in the bicep, the more mental hefting you can do, and the longer you will keep your memories.
If you are not going to try out using your less dominant hand to run your computer, then you might want to try out the Mind Sparke Dual N Back task as a way to challenge your brain, or the Become Second to None program. Either program can be easily included in our daily schedule, like a trip to the gym. The research on the tools was made public in 2008, so it is very new, and interestingly enough, one of the results of the practice is an increased IQ.

Jeff Gordon
February 20, 2011 by staff
Jeff Gordon, He won one race in the last three years, and is obviously slow. It has been completely overshadowed by the child, he engaged, and completely overwhelmed by the legacy he built. Sad to say, Jeff Gordon seems to be almost the end of his journey as an active legend. If only he could stop passing cars. Yes, it is a strange thing to be beaten over the head with your own success. Because it was a time when Gordon was collecting victories over a younger age than any driver who had already received at the wheel of a stock car.
Therefore the lack of checkered flags in recent seasons has become so sensitive. It's almost as if a temporary decline gave way to a new reality. Almost as if his foray into management has coincided with its decline as a pilot. But here's the rub: Gordon is still accumulating points with more regularity than any NASCAR driver, except one.
The problem is that it does not meet the standard of his protege, Jimmie Johnson. Or the level of his youth. "I can tell you it was not quite as much fun the last two years," Gordon said. "We've always been pretty competitive, but not as competitive as we were in the past. Now, it is an objective and a challenge to come back and see, "Do I have what it takes?
"I think this year is a real test for me." Gordon is one of three drivers – Johnson and Denny Hamlin are the other two – to have qualified for the end of season Chase for the Championship in each of the last five years. And it was in the top 10 in the Sprint Cup standings for 16 of the last 17 seasons.
Thus, tests of vision and right lanes are probably not in his immediate future. Daytona 2011 500 is about to get underway on FOX and the Bay Area and much of California is well represented in this year's race. NASCAR great Jeff Gordon (born: Vallejo), AJ Allmendinger (Los Gatos) and Kevin Harvick (Bakersfield) are three of the favorites in today's race. Gordon is going off at 12-1, Kevin Harvick is the big favorite at 8-1, and AJ Allmendinger is a 50-1 long shot.
The Daytona 500 was the starting eleven at the crack Dale Earnhardt Jr. in pole position with Jeff Gordon on the outside of the front line. But after Earnhardt crashed his car practice, it is now from the back and Kurt Busch, winner of the Duel 1 and the Budweiser Shootout, will now take the pole position.
But with the changes poles, there are even changes in car for all competitors at the eleventh hour, "said NASCAR News Sunday. All openings in the grid will be extended an extra inch on Sunday due to higher temperatures than expected. With 80-degree weather planned for Sunday, NASCAR says it has added new openings in the gate wider for cars today to help engine cooling. This amendment was added, and three others have announced new earlier in the week, including the addition of a pressure relief valve. (Departure time is 1 pm EST.) But despite these changes in both cars and the pole (IBI), a possible real change for Sunday is taking new Jeff Gordon. Gordon peaked earlier in his career, but in recent seasons has struggled. Could that all change on Sunday?

text: Ungh! What did I say?! I said that this girl was going to blow up (not, like, in an explosion, or anything; that'd be terrible) and that it would only be a matter of time the last time we talked about her. Now, Kontrol Magazine is calling her the next big thing. I'm not 100% sure exactly what the f*ck Knotrol Magazine is exactly�it'd probably be a lot more exciting if Time or Entertainment Weekly at least called her Hollywood's Next It Girl, but regardless, I love it when I'm right. Eh, gloating over. I don't know if you know this quite yet, but her name is Sammi Hanratty. It's totally the name of a character in a heartwarming Christmas tale, but it's totally true. This cutie has seen the site a few times over and it's easy to see why. She's absolutely adorable and hopefully all these small public appearances and magazine photoshoots turn into something we can all collectively enjoy, like an awesome action film where she's in a bikini at the top of a tower and only I and my arm made out of a mini gun can save her. Yeah, I like that idea.�

"That's something we really want our defense to do," said defensive coordinator Greg Mattison Tuesday afternoon. "We probably spend more time in film preparation giving our guys the extra hint of what's going to happen than a lot of people do. That allows a guy that maybe isn't the biggest, strongest guy, that isn't the most experienced guy—that if he uses tendencies he can play better.
"As they get more comfortable in the scheme and as they start feeling better about everybody, that's the next step that you take," added Mattison.
Judging by the difference between the Wolverines' first two games of the season in which they allowed 41 points to Alabama and 26 points to Air Force, and their last three games where they've given up a grand total of 32 points in … there's definitely improvement.
"Where we are as a defense right now is: okay, these are the guys that are going to be playing," said Mattison. And from the players' point of view, he says this means: "I understand what you're asking me to do, and now I can say, 'Okay, what's going to help me do that?' Rather than, 'Okay, I'm trying to be the starter,' or 'Boy I wonder if I can play this.' They're starting to get to that step, and that's what should happen this time of year. We have to get better at that.
"You can't be successful at this level unless you're total," added Mattison. "Unless you're strong physically, but mentally strong also."
One senior taking this approach to heart is defensive tackle Will Campbell, whose effort and effectiveness appears to have improved as the Wolverines are getting set to host Illinois for Homecoming at the Big House.
"The biggest part is probably our preparation during the week," said Big Will. "We are communicating, getting in and watching our film together. We are doing everything together—so we know what is coming and what to expect when we get down in our stance."
Despite added preparation and an obvious understanding of what Purdue was hoping to accomplish offensively, the defense was only able to account for two sacks, totaling a loss of 17 yards against the Boilermakers. Head coach Brady Hoke said Monday that as long as the lack of pressure persists, the Wolverines are forced to look for ways to manufacture some disruption in the backfield.
"I agree with (Coach Hoke) 100 percent," said Campbell. "We need to get more pressure up front with a four-man rush. We don't need to blitz every down to get to the quarterback. Me being a senior, me and Craig Roh take that on us, we need to work on our pass rushing more so we can get to the quarterback, and put our defensive backs in a better position to cover for less time."
While the Wolverines are still a work in progress in several different areas defensively, one facet that can't necessarily be coached is effort. According to Mattison, getting bodies to the football hasn't been a problem, especially against Purdue.
"There were plays in that game that I was very pleased—when you looked out there it was the way I perceive Michigan defense," said Mattison. "Where you had all eleven running as hard as they could to the football. Not nine. Not eight. And then when a young man played a number of plays, then the next guy goes in and he did the next thing."
Mattison added a couple caveats: "Still our technique, still we've got a long ways to go that way." And, "We had some missed assignments that you can't have."
That said, Mattison concludes: "But all in all the effort was very pleasing."
To watch video of Mattison from Tuesday afternoon, press play below.

New Delhi: The team management of Kolkata Knight Riders will meet on Tuesday to elect the new captain and new coach for the third season of Indian Premier League.
Contrary to reports which floated around last week about Sourav Ganguly being named captain of Kolkata Knight Riders for third season of the Indian Premier League, KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan said that no decision has been made with regards to the new captain and coach of the team.
"We will be meeting on August 4 and that's when all decisions on coach, captaincy and hopefully a formula for winning at least some of the matches next year would be worked out," Shah Rukh told a press conference in New Delhi.
IPL 2009-Full Reports
"Nothing has been decided, neither the coach nor the other things I read about in papers. The whole team would be meeting for the first time post IPL on August 4 and it's a series of meetings will August 15," the Bollywood star added.
Brendon McCullum, who led the side in the second season of IPL, expressed his unavailability for the third edition as IPL three clashes with Australia's tour to New Zealand. Sourav Ganguly, who was stripped off the captaincy in South Africa is the front runner to take over from the Kiwi skipper.
KKR, which finished bottom of the table this season, sacked coach John Buchanan after the debacle and former India coach John Wright is tipped to fill in the post vacated by the Australian.

Questions you should be asking about politicians and prostitution
December 28th, 2007
Dr Petra
We've all seen the hype over the past few weeks with Harriet Harman arguing in favour of criminalising men who buy sex. Her views have received mixed reactions. The right wing press mostly backed her, the rest of the media sneered, and some claimed she only took this stand to distract from scandals over Labour party donations.
Harman's comments hinge upon her idea that we should follow Sweden's model of tackling prostitution. Where buying sex has been criminalised and it's claimed that this reduces associated crime and takes the pressure off prostitutes by putting the blame onto clients.
There has been a lot of talk about the wonders of Sweden's model, and yet there is little independent evidence that it works. Swedish officials and anti-prostitution groups offer an 'it works because we do it and we say it works' answer, which is far from adequate. Independent views on the Swedish model suggests that while prostitution has become less visible prostitutes are more at risk than ever, sex work hasn't gone away and support for prostitutes remains lower than promised. Moreover there may be specific social, political, historical and geographical reasons the Swedish model seems to work which would mean such an approach wouldn't work elsewhere.
So when Harman wants to copy the Swedish model it's worrying that she already appears to accept it works when this is not necessarily the accepted view by professionals working in this area. Moreover there are other countries that offer alternative measures of managing prostitution such as New Zealand, Austria, Vienna or Spain who could equally be copied and yet Ms Harman has ignored these completely. Surely if you're going to investigate a model of managing sex work you should consider a variety of international approaches, not just pick one that you think might fit with winning over your electorate?
Moreover she's been citing evidence for using the Swedish approach as a means of reducing trafficking of sex workers, which she sees as key to the prostitution problem. This is a commonly held view and one that's repeated by many anti-prostitution organisations, but it doesn't necessarily represent an accurate view of prostitution.
All this is peculiar since the Home Office had already run a half hearted 'consultation' on prostitution a few years ago and argued they would consider revising the position of brothels. That would mean two or three women could work together in a flat or house without legal repercussions. However, despite mentioning this could be the case the government has done nothing about this since, and now seems to be backtracking with a view to a far more oppressive Swedish stance.
This remains a very difficult area to discuss. The media likes nothing better than a nice juicy hooker story, but often won't ask critical questions about the misuse of evidence and policy. Politicians don't want to be seen to encourage anything remotely controversial and our current party likes to raise issues then delay doing anything about them by hiding behind policy discussions. Which is why we've got both politicians and the press using discussions about 'sex slavery' and other emotive terms – that conveniently distract us from the real issues about prostitution we need to discuss.
The public tend to swing between feeling sorry for abused sex workers, to hating all whores or using anti-trafficking legislation as a mask for racism and misogyny. And there is a very strong and vocal presence of pressure groups who completely disagree with any form of prostitution (to the point that they won't allow for the term 'sex work' to be used). To them all prostitution is abuse and all who buy sex are abusers. There is no room for debate and if you question any means of managing prostitution that don't involve an outright ban you are also portrayed as an abuser.
Yet outside of this there are many practitioners, researchers, educators and most importantly sex workers and clients who have opinions about what's going on within our current legal discussions on prostitution. Many of us have now raised our concerns via the media with letters to The Guardian – and The Independent as the excerpt below from 22 Dec 2007 shows:
Sex workers need no moral crusades
Sir: We constitute a large proportion of academics and researchers writing on issues that affect the UK sex industry.
Following the anniversary of the Ipswich murders and Harriet Harman's breathtaking pre-emption of the Criminal Justice and Immigration (CJ&I) Bill Committee, we urge the Government to promote new ways of working that are safer for sex workers and will encourage sex workers to come forward and give evidence where any violence has occurred. We support the removal of clauses 104-106 from the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill 2007, and are against any move to criminalise clients of sex workers.
Academic research demonstrates that enforced treatment/ rehabilitation or criminalisation of sex workers (or their clients) is ineffectual at best, and more often dangerous. The CJ&I's provisions do not take account of the views of those working in the sex industry, whose voices should be a central part of any debate.
Real political concern to support sex workers is being diverted and proper debate about the current proposals is being stifled by some fundamentalist and some radical feminist organisations interested in pursuing a moral crusade against purchasing sex akin to the crusade against the "white slave trade" in late Victorian society. Now, as then, using the criminal law to such an end will only result in more, not less, harm done to sex workers.
Dr Belinda Brooks-Gordon Birkbeck, University of London, Professor Sophie Day, Goldsmiths, University of London, Professor Phil Hubbard, Loughborough University, Dr N T Jeal, Wales College of Medicine, Professor Graham Hart, Professor Graham Scambler, University College London, Professor Don Kulick, New York University, Professor Joyce Outshoorn, Leiden University, Netherlands, Dr Helen Ward, Imperial College NHS Trust, Professor Jeffrey Weekes, London South Bank University, And 13 others
So we are currently faced with misinformed politicians being driven by rhetoric rather than responsible evidence. We are not asking the right questions about prostitution but instead have been caught up in debates of blame, scaremongering and bad science.
We need to ask questions about why our politicians are favouring one political model (Sweden) and not others? Why are they dragging their heels over previous promises to make sex workers safer? Why are they employing experts to inform their policies and practices who have known links to anti-prostitution organisations and make no secret of their anti-prostitution agendas? Why does our media focus only on a prostitution is good/prostitution is bad debate rather than tackling wider and more complex issues?
More than this we need to bring back this discussion as a matter of urgency since the fate of prostitution in the UK is going to be decided early in January 2008. If it continues to go down the Sweden-is-fantastic line we are going to see the lives of prostitutes made more difficult and dangerous.
We need to act now. It may not be popular or an easy view to take, but we have to challenge the inflated claims over women trafficked into prostitution, we need to acknowledge not all prostitutes are women. We have to accept that abuse and exploitation is part of prostitution – but it is not the whole story. And above all we need to make any legal changes in the interests of prostitutes. Which currently is not happening at all.
Make your voice heard. Ask your MP to consider the evidence about what works in relation to managing prostitution. Get them to look at the experiences of other countries and the body of evidence from health and social science that explains what sex workers want and need. Remind them and you not to go with scary messages but to look beyond the hype to see what agendas may be driving these – and question whether these are truly in the interests of prostitutes.Tweet

Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) – Rwanda has yesterday received $10.8 million from MasterCard Foundation to boost its technology education programme in Africa.
CMU Rwanda made the announcement Monday during its graduation ceremony which saw 24 students receive master's degrees in information technology, and electrical and computer engineering.
CMU, which graduated its first students in 2014, has to-date seen 70 students from Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and United States go through its programme.
The new funding is expected to benefit about 125 academically talented, but financially disadvantage students from sub-Saharan Africa as part of MasterCard Scholar Foundation programme with each students receiving a scholarship package of about $86,000.
The beneficiaries are expected to use their knowledge and skills to lead change in their communities and contribute to meaningful transformation across the African continent through the use of ICT in areas such agriculture, finance, energy, among others.
"ICT is very much at the core of all of this with computer science and related science fields," said Subra Suresh, the president of Carnegie Mellon University at a news conference on Monday in Kigali.
Carnegie Mellon University, Rwanda campus was established in 2011 as a centre of excellence to train African technology leaders in efforts to address the shortage of ICT professional experts and engineers in various sectors of the continent's economies.
Rwanda's minister of education Dr Papias Musafiri Malinda said the country needs ICT experts to boost socio-economic development goals in various sectors such as agriculture.
"We are aspiring to be reducing the extent of people engaged into the primary activities of agriculture by creating off-farm jobs, but that can only happen when you increase the rate of innovations in the primary agricultural activities," Dr Musafiri said.
The MasterCard scholarship targets 40 per cent beneficiaries from Rwanda, and 60 per cent from other African countries.
Last week World Bank and Rwanda signed a credit agreement of $20 million to support centres of excellence in Rwanda's institutions of higher education in bid to deliver high quality post-graduate students.
Kigali is poised to host African centres of excellence including data sciences, innovative teaching and learning mathematics and science, the Internet of Things, and sustainable energy.

Former NRL star Craig Field may in fact have been "the peacemaker" in a fatal alleged king-hit incident outside the Kingscliff Beach hotel in 2012, a court heard.
The first day of what is anticipated to a be a three week murder trial for the former South Sydney captain and Manly five-eighth began on Tuesday before Justice Elizabeth Fullerton at Lismore Supreme Court.
Field, 41, stands accused that on the evening of July 15, he allegedly delivered one fatal blow to the right temple region of 50-year-old cattle farmer Kelvin Kane, resulting in his death.
"I'm not guilty," Field said following his indictment on Tuesday morning.
Crown Prosecutor Lee Carr told the jury 24 witnesses will be called to give evidence in the trial including paramedics, doctors, hotel employees, neighbours of the hotel and friends of Mr Kane.
The jury heard Field and friend Shaun Fathers arrived at the hotel at 11.30am and planned to watch an Anthony Mundine boxing fight on Foxtel.
Within two hours of Mr Kane arriving at the hotel about 7pm, Mr Carr alleged Field delivered the fatal blow, after a dispute between Fathers and Mr Kane escalated.
CCTV footage from the hotel and photos will be presented to the jury to illustrate the ongoing tension on the day between Field and Fathers, and Mr Kane's group of friends.
Mr Carr said forensic pathologist Dr Allan Cala would present post-mortem results showing Mr Kane sustained a blunt force injury to the head, consistent with a punch, and not hitting his head when he fell.
Field's barrister Tony Bellanto QC said his client denied both "the very serious charge of murder and complete denial of manslaughter" and he would attempt to disprove prosecution allegations his client threw the fatal punch.
"Was Mr Kane punched by another person, and not Mr Field, moments before he fell to the ground?"
"Was Mr Field drawn into the situation as a peacemaker?"
Lismore crime scene officer Nicole Hill described the rear carpark where the incident allegedly took place as "poorly lit" when she arrived at the hotel at 12.55am on July 16.
Senior Constable Hill said she took 26 photos of the scene, then of Field and Fathers at Tweed police station and didn't notice any injuries on the hands of either man.
Detective Senior Constable Phillip Parker then presented a 3D walkthrough of the hotel, which has been extensively renovated since the alleged incident.
Justice Fullerton granted Field revised conditional bail to reside at Bilambil Heights with former NRL player Tony Rampling for the duration of the trial.
She ordered Field not to attend any licensed premises or any premises from which alcohol is dispensed.

David and Goliath
Humans are storytellers. One could argue that journalists are even more like storytellers than other forms of humans, but then, you could also make the case that we just echo what is out there in the world.
The English professors inform us that there are no new plots – only the same few stories recycling through our literature (and all too often, through our news). One of the stories that pops up a lot in our culture is the David and Goliath narrative, a classic biblical story in which a poorly armed but self-assured little guy takes down a gigantic warrior. John Henry against the steam hammer and Luke Skywalker against the Galactic Empire are notable examples of this myth in our culture.

text: Project Description The kcICON project is intended to provide a unique visual statement that complements the identity of Kansas City. It is a bridge with a cable-stayed main span whose graceful lines are born out of the function and structural needs of the bridge. When approaching the bridge, motorists will be treated to a view of the skyline that is enhanced by a single, delta-shaped pylon, with scale appropriate to its visual surroundings. The bridge design is cohesive from end to end. The lines of the approach spans and piers have been developed to become visually integrated into the design of the main span. In addition, the bridge is transformed at night with a unique lighting scheme, expanding the iconographic power of this structure. Aesthetics is not applied as an afterthought. Rather, the design team has worked diligently to create a bridge whose graceful lines and unique visual experiences flow naturally from the structural elegance of this solution.

At a fundraiser concert in Los Angeles Monday night, Cher was among the performers and celebrities who turned out to support Hillary Clinton before the California primary. Tickets for the concert were $45 each and sold out before the event. When it was Cher's turn to come on state, according to Liz Kreutz, of ABC News, she told the crowd, "When I watch Trump, I just want to blow my brains out…. Or maybe not my brains," she said. Cher didn't mention where she'd get the gun.
"When I watch Trump I just want to blow my brains out," @cher says. ("Or maybe not my brains…" she adds)

Cher has made no secret of the fact that she does not like Trump, often sending out Twitter messages against him. Recently she posted a photo making him appear to be Hitler.

Well that's it for me as I'm busy as there are only 2 weeks of school left and so lots of planning to come!

i think that the two characters are fighting over something but i dont know what… i'll just have to stare at it a little longer and see if i find something out… one thing though… the shade of colour is very stunning !!!
ididnt notice this at first but when i took a closer look , i saw that the rooster is breathing some kind of blue flames(?)… i think that that symbolises that the rooster is brave and is not terrified of tha sabre tooth guy even though most people would be…. thats what i think anyway
i love this, dude! this guy is very talented too! i'm impressed!
: Out of all your characters that I've seen, I'd have to say my fave is your saber-toothed monster. I love this collab painting! Talk about contrast, the detailing of the monster makes it look so cold & dead meanwhile the detailing on the rooster makes it look so warm & alive. One thing's definite, they're both fighters. Oh, his art's pretty good.
gonna go to la next year sings …lalalala^^…gonna see this SURU thing 😛 …gonna invade LA harrrr^^…man i want to go there so hard XD…couldn't you just take germany nearer to california?^^…
(Borat's voice) Yesssa! I like! Very niiice! 🙂
great work.. from both of you! 😀
congrats. it's good to see new collaborations from you!
I love the diversity of your art Mike
This is just great.I am really looking forward to check on your new artwork.keep up good work.
NICE ! i realy like it!
you gotta have LOTS of imagination to do this! it's great, that's what I can I say!!! BRAVO!
I like the paintings, too. Why did Jeff McMillan has painted the rooster?. Coincidence? Or because Joes Lastname means rooster in german?
That's so freakin cool! It's like the dead dinosaur guy scared the crap out of that poor chicken roaster! He was like minding his own business hanging out in that wooden box round thing talking on the phone with some chickens, and then that mean dead dinosaur bone thing came out of nowhere and scared the crap out of him and he jumped and it broke all over the place! Now the poor farmer has to clean up that mess! I'm so stupid. It's not a dinosaur it's a sabertooth dead cat! Those poor dead cats 😦 Meow! I like yours and jeff artwork! It's really cool. 🙂
wOw this picture looks… strange, as all your pictures do! i just can't get it! how do you create it! how does this image come in your mind?? that's incredible!!! when i look at your paintings i always get surprised, because if i were painting something i wouldn't even emagine this in my mind, though i have a good imagination! these ideas are strange but imposing! where do you get them from?? how does it come to you?? that's a big question for me. btw your 2nd exhibition is SO different from the 1st! not only the theme is different but you've changed the style fundamentaly! that was a great surprise! i think both of your styles are unique! thanks!
I love the collab. Absolutely incredible. And now on an unrelated note: I have a question and request and I know you are busy, but I know you answer comments on occasion, perhaps I'll get lucky! : )
I was wanting to inquire about MFR footage of the band and others doing work in New Orleans immediately following Katrina. It was said that the footage would be in LPTV, but it never was. I know many people that really would like to see this footage, including myself. Is this a possibility or something you could at least blog about if time. I know many people would appreciate it! Thanks for all you and LP do!
MIKE!!!!!!!! I just have one question, what is going on with the last 4 shows of Projekt Revolution?! I've been checking everyday since the 24th of August for the Woodlands showing. It just says it will be up sometime around the 20th of September but obviously that's out of date haha. So what's taking so long for the last 4 shows to be up online? Any idea when they'll be available? Thanks Mike!
Wow, great job man!
Although the monster/skeleton reminds me my Comparative Anatomy exam. I totally fucked up =[
Have a nice Saturday evening and Sunday =)
Off topic, but I figure you have a better chance of seeing this here: There's a youtube channel that I'd like you to clear up. LinkinParkTV2008 (http://www.youtube.com/user/LinkinParkTV2008) is claiming to be you, Chester & Joe. They almost had me fooled because they put a good effort into making it look real (i.e. subscribing to the right people, putting "official", being listed as musician with a warner label, etc.). But recently they put up a video that said "never seen before. hopefully this will make you believe that we're really us." Problem with that was, I'd already seen the video, it was from a while back. As soon as I said that, they deleted it and re-uploaded it minus the claim.
Mike I have to say something…. HOW THE F*** CAN U DO THIS??!??!?!??!!?!??! O.o it's incredible!!
I am really…… really…. wordless…. Mike it's impossible……… you're relly a fantastic artist… I…. I…. omg….
I set a painting of yours as wallpaper……. it's really awesome…. I can paint very well too… wanna collab with me too? ^^
I'm artistically developmentally disabled so I hope this isn't an insult cause trust me I wouldn't even know how to start throwing insults at something I don't really get, but I swear "Passage of Mystic rights" with the blue monster reminds me of the Abominable Snowman in those old school Christmas claymation cartoons. It's like he was captured by some voodoo person who practices santeria. I cant stop looking at it and my mind is more troubled & bothered by the image. It's not disturbing enough for me not to look at it. But ….OMG>>>>he has the monster feature on everything!!!
hey! mk why do u like skeletons??? …i can be wrong…but it seems a lot of ur paintings have one….but i love it ….and….how works paintint with another artist?? it's like doing a song???
I love the moster:DThe whole piece is great …I wanted to ask you how do you choose who you wanna collaborate with?Do you choose artist that you're already familiar with?
wow, the artwork is amazing! i wish i could go to SURU and see all the artwork in person but, alas i live a "million" miles away, in Greece.
aww mike those are amazing!!! i just luv em!!!! congrats 🙂 luv u mike , kiss 🙂
How does chester's website misspell linkin park? look at last post. thought it was humourous……… The "Remix2Win" contest, held by Verizon Wireless and Grammy award winning band Lincoln Park, challenged fans to remix the band's hits and share them with their friends on Facebook. The 20 universities with the most remixes became finalists and Linkin Park picked the best mix based on quality
yea i got the same question as AndyJ…why do you like skulls so much…?? i mean i like your artwork, it looks great..but i actually don't like skulls…they always remind me of..death. i don't know why somebody would like death… 😕
i know it's part of this vanitas art [isn't it?, i don't know so much bout art, but i think it is^^]…mhm.. i prefer living..things…
Wow that art is amazing,its great Joe's moving on with SURU
He(and Chester with Club Tattoo/Ve'Cel)should start international chains!! Everybody with me???
I didn't want to post any negative comment here. I just say something nice or nothing. But considering the fact, that you are not that kind of person, who expects to receive only compliments, I decided to write a kind of advice. It's really inconvenient to say it, but I'm not impressed by the painting at all. I feel like something is missing there, or it's not completed, yet. Perhaps, you could involve a third artist to complete the painting. It looks like two paintings without any connection and also the background is not so impressive. Please, take it as an advice, I don't mean to critisize you. I know that you always want to make the things perfect! Krassie K.
Amazing artwork mike, BTW, i would want to ask you something, why do you like skulls so much? You are fascinated by skulls. I can see them in almost every artwork of yours (even fort minor artwork). Plz explain……………NjoyAnanditAndy.
hmm the painting is interesting. it makes me wonder on what basis' you decide whom you want to collaborate with. like, is there anything in particular that you look for in artists or is it just based soley on if you like their work?
nonetheless, keep up the fine art 🙂
Mike, Suru gonna sell this stuff at the store online?
Sabertooth monster? xD
I would rather called it skeleton! 😀
Ah… it's an amazing one.
I like the painting! xD
Okay… do you really like skeletons that much? xD
'Coz I realise most of your arts are… skeletons…
Don't worry, I still like them a lot. 😛
I like this one… it's a style I don't think i've seen from you, yet the subject is uhh….. very shinody, for lack of a better word lol.
Mike, I love your art , but I have to tell you that i'm really dissapointed about LP .. once again.
I'm a big, big LP fan from Chile, and like thousands and thousands of fans here in South America, we were really excited about the possibility of seeing you play here on this MTM tour, because you (chester and rob) said that we were on the top of the list of places to play for the mtm tour. Well , two years of touring which are finishing in October, and you played in North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania … and what about South America?? =(
Now, I guess we'll have to wait until you release a new album to get the chance to see you playing live and make our dream come true ..
wow,i really love the pictures)if only i could come and see it in person! most interesting in the world happens in LA
to DIANLUCAS nice work xD
Critique time!! Okay, the sabertooth monster's left leg is bothering me. It's knee joint is bent in an unusual way, and I can't tell if it is bending forwards or sideways. Maybe there is more contrast of shadows in the real life painting… If it's bending sideways, perhaps some for-shortening in the joint area would have helped, and more contrast between darks and highlights. What is definitely successful, is the texture you gave this creature with the subtle shades and tones. It has that sense that I could reach out and touch it. I'd comment on the rooster but I doubt my message will likely get to the other artist, and I'm not putting this in my blog and linking to it.
hey!mike,very nice collaboration…and i'm so happy that you prefer sabertooth instead of goat/sheep.hahaha!!!hope that you haven't forgot the hair of sabertooth mike…joke!BTW,hope that your GE (Dies) would have a video on how you do your pieces.from buying your stuffs for your arts,combining those paints to look great,choosing your most comfortable place to paint those arts…till in the ennnnddddd…is that ok with you?i hope that i'm not the only one who wants a video of the making of GLORIOUS EXCESS (DIES)…god bless you and LP:))
yay….i love the first one!!!! itz amazing!!! and the second….i like it. i like his arts…haha ;]
Sick artwork Mike, Jeff McMillan's got some cool stuff going on! His gnomes are pretty good haha. I could tell the sabretooth was yours straight away. I'm sure the Suru show'll go great.
Yeah, nice work. 🙂 Hey Mike and everyone, look this work on photoshop, by my friend Andréia:
Mike, I just wanted to say: thank you for repairing the links here. this came quickly. have a nice weekend … on the exhibition, or whatever!
Its really cool Mike i love how you draw its amazing i know you hear that alot Haha 🙂
wooooah thats awesome drools
man i wish i lived out there to go to the art show (yea yea you hear that all the time, haha)
i can't wait 4 see ur new artwork^^
PLEASE MIKE puts here some things of ur new artworks PLEASE….
Kisses and PLEASE!!!!
that is a crazy sick rooster.
wow the second one is looking amazing , i wish i could come to see the show on SURU but germany is for that a little bit far away 🙂
Amazing!!! Your art is so varied and so wonderful. I was wondering if you had a tentative date for Glorious Excess (Dies) yet? I was wanting to make a trip out to LA from Kansas to come see it.
Also, I am sure you have thought about it, but was there any discussion of putting your Glorious Excess stuff on shirts or any other clothing? I know this kind of "degrades" your paintings, for the lack of a better term, but I am sure it would be a welcomed addition to your already wonderful MS.com store.
Again, its good to see you on here keeping us informed. Not many Rock Stars do soooo much for thier fans like You and LP do.
Thanks a million,
i think Liope is right.sabertooth monster doesnt look like detailed as much as jeff's rooster.so there is no wholeness.this piece is more like two different paintings.(btw,sorry for my english)anyway,take care urself,bb
Damn, If only I lived in LA instead of the fucking UK Grrr. Story of my life aye..
But the art looks really dope & I would've loved to be there!!
Speaking of SURU, I was watching Lupe Fiasco's I gotcha vid yesterday & I only just noticed the suru spray paint toy thing..
See I don't even know what to call it, but you know what i'm talking about. I thought that was really cool, I also saw an interview kenna did talking about how much he loved the shop. I really wanna go there and check it out but until then have fun on saturday ( if you're going)
i love evil yard gnomes
maybe travelocity should look into something like that. :p
that looks amazing! i really really love your style (and taste). if i lived anywhere near LA i would definitely come and check it out. dont forget to support your troops 🙂
cool one! i love your shadows. how is work on Glorious Excess (Dies) going? i like the fact that SURU is also doing art shows. take care 🙂
Not that I don't like the first picture, but the second one looks a lot more thought out. Not to mention the fact that it's VERY pretty. Does he have a certain theme when he paints? Kind of how you, yourself, use a lot of skulls and whatnot. Man, I can't quite staring at that painting. It's got so much detail and it's so NEAT. Awesome.
wow these are really cool!!!! i like the first one more…it's it's….unique!!! never seen something like it!!!! awesome welldone mike!!!!<3
is this the final piece?it looks really cool BUT you could have make it better!! the rooster has more details than the monster and if someone looks more carefully he/she will understand or that the painting was made by 2 different people or that the painter get bored!!! anyway my point is that you can still work on it….
WoW! that's so great! i luv ur pics! you really have a talent!
i don't know anything about Jeff but i will search something, i like his art. however i think you're the best [:
take care xxx
That's so amazing! I wish I could go to SURU, unfortunately I live in Houston. 😦
Oh well, some other time…maybe.
first to comment!!! YEAAAA :D:D:D
woww!!! thats some gr88 work mike!! :D:D:D

Compiling Flash files in Ant
If you have FDT (an actionscript Eclipse plugin) you can compile your FLAs using Ant. But you first need to set the location of Flash in FDT settings by going to Window > Preferences > FDT > Tools > Flash in Eclipse and entering the location of flash.exe in the Flash IDE text box (it will probably be something like C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\Flash.exe). This will compile the FLAs in Flash – it would probably be faster if it used a command-line compiler like the one that comes with the Flex SDK but I haven't looked into integrating this yet.

For those familiar with Irish folklore, you may have heard of tales about meeting a fetch. In these tales, a fetch is a person's own doppelganger. Usually the seeing of one's fetch portends one of two things in Irish folktales: if one sees their fetch in the morning (i.e. your own image) it means you [Read More…]

Ava Boutilier was a puckstopper even before becoming a goalie.
During her first season of novice, the Charlottetown native was a defenceman, who led her team in blocked shots.
"Coach knew I was a goalie at heart," Boutilier recalled Tuesday. "I would be playing heels at the top of the crease, trying to block shots."
When the team's lone goalie was sick, the coaches went around the dressing room asking to see if anyone was interested in going to the crease.
Boutilier accepted the challenge, "absolutely fell in love" and hasn't looked back.
The 16-year-old Colonel Gray student verbally committed Saturday to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) for the 2017-18 season. She can't officially sign a letter of intent until November 2016 because of her age, but she said announcing her intention was a huge relief.
She toured four universities this fall before making her decision.
"I walked on the UNH campus and just felt like I was at home and where I was meant to be," said Boutilier, who noted having good interactions with the team's players and coaching staff. "I felt like the staff there would really work with me on achieving that ultimate goal of playing for the national team someday."
Boutilier has grown up playing on boys teams during the seasons. She has played on girls teams from time to time, including at the Canada Games in February in Prince George, B.C., with Team P.E.I. at the Atlantic Challenge Cup on the Thanksgiving weekend and Team Atlantic at the national under-18 championship in November in Huntsville, Ont.
She was one of six goalies to attend Hockey Canada's under-18 tryout in August, but did not make the roster. She still has a year of eligibility and hopes to be invited to the strength and conditioning camp in May.
Boutilier is in her second season playing with the Charlottetown Brighton Construction Abbies in the Prince Edward Island Midget AAA Hockey League.
"She's very technically sound," said coach Kevin Ramsay. "She competes very hard, is in great shape and is well prepared for . . . every game, no matter if she's starting or not."
He said she is constantly striving to improve her game.
"When she steps on the ice, she's very focused," Ramsay said.
Boutilier said she doesn't play a specific style and is more of a hybrid, who will do whatever is necessary to stop pucks.
She long thought about playing south of the border and is a step closer to having the dream become a reality.
"To play NCAA Division 1 hockey for women," she said, "it's kind of like playing in the NHL for us."
Ava Boutilier
Who - A 16-year-old goalie from Charlottetown.
The latest - Verbally committed to play hockey at the University of New Hampshire in 2017-18.

Tapping the cutter with a hammer, slide it around the entire edge of the oil pan. Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces of the oil pan or engine block.
Oil pan from the vehicle
Insert a suitable stopper pin for the left and right camshaft tensioners.
Left and right exhaust camshaft sprocket bolts. Be sure to hold the flats of the camshafts while removing the sprocket bolts
- Inspect the timing chain for excessive wear or damage and replace as necessary.
To install:
Install or connect the following:
Crankshaft sprocket with the mating mark facing out
Position the crankshaft to TDC of compression stroke and align the dowels of the camshaft sprockets to the 12 o'clock position in respect to the cylinder head.
Lower timing chain guide. The front mark on the guide should face upwards
On a work bench, align the marks on the intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets with the marks of the chain
Exhaust camshaft sprockets onto the dowel pin and torque the mounting bolts to 88-95 ft. lbs. (119-128 Nm). Be sure to secure the camshafts while tightening the bolts
Align the mating mark on the crankshaft with the matchmark (gold link) on the lower timing chain.

November 30, 2011
No. 1 Star: Miikka Kiprusoff(notes), Calgary Flames
The Flames goalkeeper earned his 41st career shutout with 26 saves, making defenseman Derek Smith's(notes) first NHL goal stand up in a 1-0 win over the Nashville Predators. He was in Beast Mode down the stretch, stopping five Predators shots on a power play with less than five minutes in the game.
No. 2 Star: Brad Richards(notes), New York Rangers
Heck of a game between the Rangers and the Pittsburgh Penguins, with fights and scoring and crappy officiating. Richards assisted on goals by Ryan Callahan(notes) and Marian Gaborik(notes) (the game-winner) and sniped his ninth of the season, as New York defeated the Pens, 4-3.
No. 3 Star: Cory Schneider(notes), Vancouver Canucks
Remember, it's a good problem to have: Cory "Not the Starter" Schneider stopped 47 shots for his fifth straight win, including 22 in the final period, as the Canucks defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets, 4-1. Daniel Sedin(notes), David Booth(notes). Ryan Kesler(notes) and Alex Burrows had the goals. For Kesler, it was his third goal in four games.
Honorable mention: T.J. Oshie(notes) and Matt D'Agostini(notes) scored and Capitals nemesis Jaroslav Halak(notes) made 18 saves to spoil Dale Hunter's debut for the Washington Capitals, 2-1. Nicklas Backstrom(notes) scored for the Caps, on a nice feed from Alex Ovechkin(notes). … The Florida Panthers defeated Kirk Muller in his debut as Carolina Hurricanes coach, 3-1. Shawn Matthias(notes) scored twice in the third period, the first coming with 3:19 left. Tomas Fleischmann(notes) had the other goal and Jose Theodore(notes) made 26 saves. … Jeff Skinner(notes) scored for Carolina, with Eric Staal(notes) getting an assist. … Back and forth game between the Ottawa Senators and Winnipeg Jets. Milan Michalek(notes) and Evander Kane(notes) both have two goals. So did Zack Smith(notes), whose sixth of the season on the power play in the third period put the Sens up for good, winning 6-4. Craig Anderson(notes) made 39 saves. Chris Phillips(notes) was a plus-4 … Ray Whitney(notes) had a goal and two assists, as the Phoenix Coyotes thumped the Chicago Blackhawks in the Windy City, 4-1. Mike Smith(notes) made 24 saves before losing this shutout with 43 seconds left on a Patrick Sharp(notes) goal. … All hail Al Montoya(notes), who was brilliant in the New York Islanders' 2-1 win at the Buffalo Sabres. Matt Moulson(notes) and Brian Rolston(notes) had the goals, with Jochen Hecht(notes) scoring for the home team. Montoya made 30 saves, including a couple on this sequence:

Fight of the Night: There seems to be a little animosity between Tyler Kennedy(notes) and Sean Avery(notes), who got it right the second time.

Did you know? The Capitals announced the first change to Hunter's staff, with Jim Johnson hired as an assistant to replace Bob Woods. Johnson was the head coach of the AHL's Norfolk Admirals for 39 games in 2009-10. (AP)
Dishonorable mention: Corey Crawford(notes) was pulled at 45:02 by Chicago, after giving up four goals on 21 shots. … Andrew Ladd(notes) and Nikita Nikitin(notes) were a minus-4. Niklas Hjalmarsson(notes) and Jared Cowen(notes) were a minus-3. ... Hey, wasn't Dale Hunter supposed to give his star players more ice time? Alex Ovechkin played 16:46 and Alex Semin played 14:37. … Finally, scary scenes in Calgary and Winnipeg. Flames defensemen Chris Butler(notes) was struck in the face with a puck, but returned for the next period. Defenseman Mark Giordano(notes), however, took a puck off the ankle and didn't return. Senators forward Nikita Filatov(notes) left the game in the first period after he was hit in the face by Eric Fehr's(notes) skate, suffering a broken nose.

Palazzo Pitti
Palazzo Pitti was built for Renaissance banker Luca Pitti. A loyal consigliere to Cosimo de Medici, Pitti wanted a mansion built to rival those of the mighty Medici. He did pretty well: about 100 years after its construction the Medici acquired it and moved in. With a grand courtyard, Royal Apartments, the Palatine Gallery and a high Baroque interior design, this is a worthy Renaissance palace.
