I'd love to know if there is such a thing as a quality dubstep mix.
If you know of one, please share it.

It was fun while it lasted...Au revoir MS.
Disc 3 of Will Saul's Balance 15
May be some mixes of Dana Bergquist and Andreas Hansson and of course The cd 1 Of Hernan Cattaneo Parallel.
I occasionally venture into the ever so overwhelming world of dubstep, however there is one name that shines above the rest - Kontext
Dissociate is a brilliant record - a little ambient as well as dubstep...an insert from the reviews if you must -
Dissociate is a starkly beautiful album that stubbornly refuses to acknowledge it; one of those unfriendly albums that finds beauty in adversity, hope in hopelessness. Discarding any notions of accessibility or structure, its obtuse tracks average around the seven-to-eight minute mark, some being almost completely formless and offering nothing convenient to latch onto nor any touchstones on which to rely. Paradoxically, the album begins with one of its most straightforward tracks, the bleepy 'Impossible Being' which sounds a bit like a life support system, heart monitors beeping away, mysterious pistons firing off and defibrillators charging rhythmically. Almost like a robo-Mount Kimbie, the slabs of bass are adorned with microscopic percussion, but it pulses with something undeniably techno – if anything a bit more broken beat than proper dubstep – and its extended ambient midsection pretty much destroys any linear conception of style. 'Bilinguism' is appropriately two-dimensional, its rough, metallic extrusions occasionally giving way to stretches of skeletal, bare-essentials desert.
Let me know what you think florida, if you get a chance to preview this record.

I'm not sure what you mean (I'm a foreigner), but this a pretty good showcase of "good" aka post-dubstep.

I don't really like dubstep, but I really really like this mix. It's the only dubstep I like actually. His artist album Triangulation is very good too. I found a seemless version, so it's pretty much like a mix.
Music is the answer, to your problems. Keep on movin', till you solve them.
Dubstep was good in 2005. Everything since is just a bit yawn.
SugarSync - Like Dropbox but bigger: [referral link for 500MB extra!]
^^^ Appleblim's releases are good imo
It seems dubstep has taken off only recently. More artists and labels going around then 5 years ago, surely.
Anyways back on topic... there is a blinder of a set by DFRNT but for the life of me I can't remember which podcast that was.... however there was a set posted by R_Co on soundcloud called Winter Music thats pretty nifty as well. Check it out florida, think you will like it.

Strong euro encourages holidays at home
In the current economic climate, foreign summer holidays are a luxury many cannot afford while others would prefer to save their cash for a rainy day.
Holiday bargains are also thin on the ground and the weakness of sterling versus euro is not exactly enticing.
Gone are the days when a pound bought you €1.40, today it is closer to €1.15.
So instead of holidays in the eurozone, many families from Northern Ireland have this year been forced to look at alternatives such as holidaying at home.
The benefits include not having to pay out for airfares including taxes and fuel surcharges and you don't have to get any money changed thus saving on poor exchange rates and commission charges.
There are also spin-offs for the local economy.
Instead of lining the coffers of the Costas or the Canaries, places like Belfast, Fermanagh and the Antrim Coast receive a financial boost.
It's hard to beat getting away from it all for a week in a climate blessed with good weather but holidaying at home can also be a wonderful experience.
Taking time to explore the sights of Belfast, which so many workers dash by Monday to Friday on their way to meetings and then understandably miss at the weekend when they escape the pressures of the city, can be an unexpected joy.
Everyone in the province should take the time, even just for a day, to see Northern Ireland through the eyes of a visiting tourist.
Highly recommended activities include St George's Market on a Saturday, the aroma, banter and charming atmosphere are infectious. Then take a stroll along the River Lagan walkway and Custom House Square, which have been transformed into open space that rivals any European city.
Take a step back in time on a Titanic Boat tour, which will leave you proud of our unique heritage.
Finally hop on an open top bus to see the capital through the eyes of the millions of visitors who flock to our shores every year.
There is of course a string of possibilities and locations!
It will make you realise that we may be in a recession but Northern Ireland has come a very long way in just a few years and its true tourism potential has yet to be unlocked.

MEASURES to reduce Boxing Day traffic jams outside Bicester Village could not stop customers clogging up residential streets again this year.
Extra parking was available, and shops opened earlier in an effort to reduce congestion at the booming designer outlet.
But the retail park – one of the biggest of its kind in Europe – was again inundated with shoppers looking for a Boxing Day bargain, with 2012's near-40,000 total likely to have been matched.
The retail centre employs more than 1,000 people and draws in shoppers from across Britain, while hordes of tourists travel from abroad to visit.
The Boxing Day rush has regularly blocked up local streets since the site opened in 1995.
Significant congestion was reported on the A34, A41 and M40, and some drivers ignored notices calling on them to avoid parking in residential streets.
Sallie Wright, 69, who lives in Colne Close, off Kings Avenue, said some shoppers moved cones put up to stop people parking.
"It is no better than last year," she said.
"It is extremely frustrating. They make their promises every year that it is going to get better.
"We actually ended up coning off the end of our close to try to restrict the traffic. The whole thing is just hideous."
Resident Mary Grant, 69, who lives in Old Place Yard, just behind the outlet shopping centre, said: "It has definitely got worse this year.
"They should close on Boxing Day and give their staff more time off."
But Priory Lane residents Ted and Barbara Houlihan said that although the traffic was still bad, things had improved. Mr Houlihan, 75, said: "I feel sorry for the people who live in Old Place Yard.
"There are a lot of older people who will have people visiting today who won't find a place to park."
Mrs Houlihan, also 75, added: "Being truthful, I don't think it is worse than last year. I think it has got a bit better."
Village community relations director Miranda Markham said efforts had been made to deal with the problem, including: s Park and ride services from four sites s A special train service from London Marylebone which by 4pm yesterday had been used by more than 1,000 customers s Extended opening hours, from 8am to 9pm, compared to 9am to 8pm last year.
She also said the outlet's plan for a £11m investment in the infrastructure around the centre, including a new purpose-built park and ride, would help avoid similar problems in the future.
She added: "Most people visiting are people from abroad or domestic tourists, and with first-time visitors it is always difficult to change their habits. But we have been really promoting the fact that our reductions are in place from early December."

Don't walk out of your house with your hair wet for fear of catching a cold? Ask a friend to scare you when you get the hiccups? There are certain health myths many of us abide by on a daily basis, and yet they aren't what we think them to be. Here is a breakdown of a few of those myths and the truth behind them.
Cutting Off the Bread's Crust – Instead of cutting the crust off your bread in hopes of cutting out calories, buy 100 percent whole-wheat flour bread, and keep the crust. A study found that the baking process generates a type of cancer-fighting antioxidant which is eight times more abundant in the crust.
Wet Hair Equals a Cold – Conversely to popular belief, walking out of the house with wet hair will not increase your chances at catching a cold. The Common Cold Research Unit put a cold virus up the noses of volunteers and then half stayed in a warm room, and the other half took a bath and then stood dripping in a hallway for half an hour before getting dressed and walking around in wet socks for a few hours. The wet volunteers didn't catch anymore colds than the dry ones.
Starve a Fever – Don't starve a fever, instead be sure to eat and stay hydrated. Also, there is no need for specialty drinks like Gatorade unless a person is severely hydrated from vomiting or diarrhea.
Gum Stays in Your Stomach for Seven Years – While gum doesn't easily break down in the digestive system, it does not stay in a person's stomach for seven years. Conversely, gum is carried out via the fluids in the intestinal tract within days.
An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away – Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables is the way to go, but when it comes to "keeping the doctor away" blueberry is the most effective fruit, as it is packed with antioxidants and fiber.
Get Rid of Hiccups with a Scare – Despite the many myths at eliminating hiccups, there exists no proof the scare-tactic works best. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, however, the hiccups of 19 out of 20 patients left after they swallowed a teaspoon of white granulated sugar.
No Swimming Immediately After Eating – There is no need to wait an hour after eating to hit go swimming. While you may not be able to swim as vigorously after, board-certified pediatrician Jim Sears of San Clemente, California, said, "It shouldn't inhibit your ability to tread water or play."
Daily Multivitamin for Children – Beyond children getting a vitamin D supplement for those solely breast feeding, children do not need multivitamins. Of them, Beverly Hills pediatrician Scott W. Cohen said, "Even extremely fussy eaters grow normally. Your kids will eventually get what they need, even if it seems as if they're subsisting on air and sunlight."
Warm Milk Will Help You Fall Asleep – While milk may include tryptophan, it does not have enough to put anyone to sleep. A warm glass of milk, however, can do the trick if it's part of the nightly process as it will have a Pavlovian placebo effect.

Gangster recipes are to die for
They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. So it's no wonder that married Sopranos star James Gandolfini recently admitted that he's still a little bit in love with actress Edie Falco, who played his wife Carmela on the show.
As the mafia matriarch, Carmela could whip up a baked ziti quicker than you can say, 'Bada Bing!'
And her calorific home cooking was so sinful, even Fr Phil couldn't resist.
So you wouldn't need to be a wiseguy to give The Sopranos Family Cookbook a shot.
We flicked straight to one of Tony's favourite dishes, Pasta Fagioli – or 'pasta fazool' as the don would say.
The recipe for the tasty pasta and cannellini bean dish was easy to follow and only took 20 minutes to make.
Simply panfry some garlic and celery, chuck in the whole peeled tomatoes and tomato purée, sprinkle in some crushed red pepper and stir in the cooked pasta and beans. Capisce?
Between tomato-splattered pots and tiles though, afterwards there was a clean-up job fit for "waste management consultant" Tony.
As for attempting Carmela's signature baked ziti? Fahgettaboudit!

Cobb hopes for a bigger role in 2013
GREEN BAY - Green Bay Packers' receiver Randall Cobb assumes he'll play a bigger role in the offense this year, with Donald Driver and Greg Jennings gone.
At the start of the Packers' annual Tailgate Tour yesterday, Cobb said there would be more weight on him and fellow wide-outs James Jones and Jordy Nelson. But Cobb said they're taking on the challenge head-on. At 22, he's entering his third NFL season. Cobb says he has a lot to learn, he has not peaked yet, and he'll do anything he's asked to help the Packers win. Last year, Cobb ran a number of times out of the backfield. He also kept returning punts and kickoffs - but after he injured an ankle returning a punt against Tennessee, Packers' coach Mike McCarthy said in February that he hoped Cobb would not continue his return duties in 2013. Cobb says he's undecided about that. If he's able to return kicks, and the Packers want him to do it, Cobb said it would be quote, "perfect."
The Packers' Tailgate Tour had its first stop in Oshkosh last night. It also has stops in Beloit, Dubuque, Tomah, and Wisconsin Rapids.
Former Packers' defensive back Charles Woodson is expected to pay a free-agent visit to the Denver Broncos today. It would be only his second such audition since the Packers cut him in mid-February. He also visited San Francisco. The 36-year-old Woodson has drawn little interest, as he tries to sign with somebody for his 16th N-F-L season. If the Broncos sign him, Woodson could be an extra defensive back on passing downs. And he would most likely compete with Quinton Carter and Mike Adams for a starting job at safety.

Meet and Greet
Just an advisory...
I've also been to a couple of the NE M&G's, in March and Sept. 2011. Had a blast at both, but the Sept. event was special due to the afterparty fireworks with one certain, special lady. That being said, a May date would be preferable to a mid/late July date. Traditionally, there is a Mixer in NYC during that time frame, so you might wish to avoid overlapping with that potential event.
Just my three pennies...
Hello everyone.
I'm sure you all aware that the host of the prior NE M&G's is bowing out.
Having been to 2 of these parties (busted my M&G cherry), I can attest to the fact that they were very well run and attended.
(very cool people, '0' drama!)
Some of my lady friends who attended (who do not attend M&G for the most part) also stated the same.
To me, after receiving said news, it seemed a shame to let a good thing fade away.
SO…………………after conversing with a few ladies I know, who are in the know (and who know MUCH more than I), I decided to throw my hat in the ring.
That being said, I would like to announce the 2nd coming of the NE M&G!
(or is that 'cuming'! lol)
I also have an idea for an 'adder' to the current party which requires both sunlight and warmth.
The former of the two is a hope and will be up to Mother Nature, but the latter can be guesstimated.
I was seriously considering June, but due to some input and thinking about the cool/wet June's of the recent past, my thinking has changed.
The 1st week of July is typically a great weather week, but no good for our party because a great many have plans/take vacation that week (I did when chained to my cube).
July is typically a 'time off' month which adds to the quandary.
So my thoughts are the 3rd week of July, midweek.
This date is not set in stone and input (with reason/explanation) will be considered.
Details will only be given to those who have been screened.
And unfortunately, previous screening info does not seem like an option at this time, so I'm literally beginning anew.
I am not currently a VIP (only when I review), so please do not PM me here.
Contact for this event will be email only via the address below:
Board handle
Strong references from current listed/advertising provider(s) will be required; no exceptions.
Stage name
You must have at least 3 (good) reviews and/or very strong references from a currently well-know provider, no exceptions.
Please include name(s) and all relevant contact info in your email.
I will not be doing any gumshoe-ing, so please make sure to let said provider(s) know I (or someone working on my behalf) will be contacting them regarding you.
Also, I would also like to thank Radar (publically) for putting in the time/effort to get this thing off/running.
I know that life can be busy, but if you can manage, I hope you will attend.
You are more than welcome!
Best regards to all,
-- Modified on 3/13/2012 12:28:19 AM
wonderful! But such a long time to wait! lol
Any objections if I host one in May as well?
If any interest, please pm me or comment here or feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I would appreciate all input. Thanks!
................and I more than appreciate your defense/offer of help.
thank you (again)
i still got my room booked for March hoping Radar had a change of heart but hes got a lot going on,so what ever date you choose im there.
I would look forward to an event in May. Re June - I'm still relatively new. The more opportunities to mix and mingle and getvto know people, the better.
To All You Volunteers....
It's not the easiest thing in the world to try to revamp a gathering like this.
I am anxiously following tranquilwaters earlier thread about putting together a May CT/NE M&G party, and now yours, jhonny, about your volunteer efforts of putting a CT/NE M&G together in July.
Congratulations to you guys, and to the teams you put together, to help get these ideas put into reality.
To me, anytime is a good time. Though I think a couple months is probably necessary to get one planned and organized from scratch.
I'm not good at organizing "large" parties, but would be happy to join any preliminary discussion meetings anyone chooses to have to brainstorm. Every two to three weeks or so I host small groups of 2 to 3 provider-hobbyist couples to a cocktail, dinner and major entertainment event by private invitation only, and would be happy to share some of those experiences privately if needed. In my planning, I generally look ahead by about two months in starting my planning and invitation process, and that seems to work the best for me.
Best wishes for much success, and thank you for devoting the volunteer time to make something like your party wishes come to fruition. We all love the one-on-ones that both gals and guys book, but doing/attending "gatherings" just adds a terrific new dimension to this hobby that all of us tend to love.
That address was a PITA!!
I apologize; it was late/ long day.
Anyway, the new address:

parties, so little time! lol
summer should be beautiful and a perfect location to relax. Now I need to find a nudist resort in the area to set my tent up.
Kisses Haley
LOL! When I went to the last meet & greet I was up all night . Something funny happened too.
At 3AM someone who is a TER member but not on the guest list was booked and his door was
across from mine .Literally . I had to bring coffee to my other friend by 4AM so I never
slept but my friend who shared the room with me, she slept while I packed to catch my 7AM
flight. It was fun but I relaxed when I got home and fell asleep with a big smile on my face lol!
sounds like you had a blast!
Unfortunately it looks like your attempt to purchase VIP membership has failed due to your card being declined. Good news is that we have several other payment options that you could try.
We thank you for your purchase!
Membership should be activated shortly. You'll receive notification!

Empire Online brings you five new posters for Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" this glorious Friday. The first one, with the cast, was seen before in International style, but these are all English versions. Each poster has a quote on it from the character it's showing off, cause obviously dialogue is what QT is known for. Hopefully rumors that the movie is nothing BUT dialogue has been overhype, because it sure looks like there are plenty of action from the trailers. Then again, trailers have been known to lie.
In Nazi-occupied France during World War II, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers.
Starring Brad Pitt, Mélanie Laurent, Eli Roth, Christoph Waltz, Michael Fassbender, Diane Kruger, Daniel Brühl , Til Schweiger, Gedeon Burkhard, Jacky Ido, and B.J. Novak. Directed by Quentin Tarantino.
Hitler gets his August 21.

"Did we have sex last night?" "Well… one of us did."
Each week, the inbox of our venerable advice columnist, Miss Information, is flooded with queries. And although she makes a valiant effort, she can't answer them all. To deal with the surplus, we've decided to turn to you. So, don your spectacles and help this woman out — give her advice in the comments below.
Dear Nerve,
I've been with my boyfriend for about a year and a half. We live together, and while our relationship isn't without problems, it's generally healthy.
The other night, though, I got pretty drunk, and semi-foolishly decided to take my usual sleeping medication anyway. My boyfriend came in after me that night, but I didn't wake up for it.
The next morning, though, I felt like I'd had sex. This obviously didn't jibe with the fact that I went to bed alone and un-fucked, so I asked my boyfriend about it.
"Was I awake when you came in last night?" (I've had weird sleepwalking episodes on my sleeping medication before.)
"Did we have sex last night?"
"…Well, one of us did."
He laughed sheepishly and brushed it off with a half-hearted apology, but I'm pretty appalled. If I can't trust this person I've built a home and a life with while I'm asleep and defenseless, then how I can I trust him at all? Am I right to be making a big deal out of this? Should I bring it up again, and if/when I do, how can I explain this breach of trust to him?
— Sleeping Beauty

UNIVERSITY employers and union bosses are set to hold fresh talks amid a continuing row over pay.
The University and College Union (UCU) and a number of other trade unions have been running a campaign of industrial action, including national strikes, over a 1% pay rise offer made to university staff for 2013/14.
UCU earlier this week threatened a marking boycott, which it described as its "ultimate sanction", and which could leave students unable to graduate.
Loading article content
The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) said the 2013/14 pay rises, which it says averaged 3%, have already been paid and that pay negotiations for 2014/15 are due to start next month.
In a joint statement, UCU and UCEA said: "UCEA and UCU have agreed to investigate with the other parties ... the prospect of arranging exploratory talks. The purpose of the exploratory talks would be to seek an early positive dialogue on the key issues in the lead-up to the 2014/15 pay round."
"Other parties" in the dispute include three other unions - Unite, Unison and EIS in Scotland. It is understood the discussions will focus on the 2014/15 academic year pay offer.
Toni Pearce, president of the National Union of Students (NUS), welcomed news of fresh talks. She said: "We now urgently need to see both sides knuckle down at these talks and quickly come to a fair and sustainable settlement."

Miami Police are asking for the public's help in finding a 20-year-old man who they say shot three people during a youth football game at an Overtown park.
Police say Jamar Anton Jordan fired indiscriminately into a crowd at Gibson Park at 401 Northwest 12th Street around 9:30 Friday night during a Pop Warner Optimist football game.
Jordan had gotten into an argument just before the shooting, police said. Three people were hit with bullets as a large crowd dashed for cover. The victims suffered non life-threatening injuries and are all expected to make a full recovery.
Overtown had just celebrated the park's re-opening after a multimillion-dollar facelift.
Jordan is described as a black male, 6-foot-0, 140 pounds, with gold teeth, two tear drop tattoos under his right eye and the letters M&M under his left eye.
Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.

Greenbelt (Md.) Eleanor Roosevelt athlete Derrick Williams took his third official visit of the recruiting year, this one to Tennessee. How did he like Knoxville?
"It was impressive, especially the Vol Walk," said the 6-foot-0, 189-pounder. "We weren't allowed to walk it with the players, but we did walk it first as recruits and there were between 30 and 40-thousand people. The game itself had 102,000 so that was impressive also."
Williams, the No. 1 player in the country, was hosted by quarterback Erik Ainge.
Article Continues Below
"He's a good guy and it was good to get to meet the person who would be getting me the ball if I went there," he said. "Tennessee has a plan for me and they laid it out for me. They need a speed received because all of their guys are big and they have a wide open attack, which is what I like. They want to throw the ball more next year and they think I can help. I spoke to coach Fulmer about it in depth."
Williams has also visited Florida and Penn State and has Oklahoma set for Dec. 10. How did Tennessee compare to his first two trips?
"They were all good, the atmosphere at all three places was impressive," he said. "The fans are great everywhere and I can't really say which crowd was the loudest so far."
The fifth visit for Williams is still up in the air. It could be to Florida State, Miami, Texas, Louisville or any other team that comes calling, including South Carolina.
"Coach Spurrier called me on Friday," he said. "He's fun to talk to because you can tell he knows so much about offense. He really wants me to visit, but we'll see. I like the offense he has played and, after all, it's coach Spurrier, but I'm taking it slow."
Williams plans to announce his decision on Dec. 22. He has a busy week ahead of him this week.
"The Bowdens come in on Monday from FSU and then I leave for Atlanta on Tuesday to do the Fox show Wednesday (Countdown To Signing Day)," he said. "Friday Mack Brown will be coming in and Sunday the Tennessee coaches will be in home. It's getting crazy."
Does Williams have a leader at this point?
"No, I can honestly say all my schools are still in it."

It's time again for The Walking Dead Chitty Chat Club—a recap that celebrates THE STUPIDEST PEOPLE ON TV. Did you watch last night's ep? Then by all means weigh in on HOW STUPID THESE PEOPLE ARE in the comments, and hit the jump for my thoughts... ON HOW STUPID THESE PEOPLE ARE. Let's do this!
- Courtesy AMC
- "Okay, on three we do something REALLY STUPID. One... two...."
Okay, so here's what I'm thinking...
1) A pretty freaking great opener with Lori—now officially the stupidest character, and that's saying a lot—sitting in her flipped car with a zombie chewing through the windshield. POOR WINDSHIELD!
2) Meanwhile back at the bar, dead Jersey Shore guys' friends (Live Jersey Shore Guys) show up, pinning down Rick, Farmer Vet, and Freezy McAsian. (Do you like my new nickname for him? Me neither. I'll keep working on it.) Rick's all like, "Hey! We killed your friends because we're nice. (BLAM!!) Boo-hoo-hoo! Why don't these people understand me??"
3) Rick sends Freezy out the back to get the car, because SHOOTERS NEVER WATCH THE BACK DOOR IN THESE SITUATIONS. Freezy freezes up (hence his nickname), and the Jersey Boys take off when zombies drop by to join the fun. When the youngest Jersey Boy falls off a roof and impales his leg on a fence (that's gonna leave a mark), Rick naturally says, "Hey, this stupid person seems stupid enough to join our group." They then get in a long morality discussion on whether on not it's best to saw his leg off and get eaten by zombies, or rip his leg off and escape. (Surprise! They choose the latter!)
4) Shane rescues Lori, but lies to her about Rick being back at the farm because he rightly knows she is stupid. She accuses him of killing Otis to save his own ass, while Shane confesses his love for her—even though she's as stupid as a bag of hammers.
5) Paleface Carl (Rick's kid) learns that Lori is pregnant and suggests naming the baby after Sophie. Stupid idea, Carl! Somebody get this kid another blood transfusion or something.
6) When Rick returns with the blindfolded Jersey Boy (funny hazing trick, guys!), Farmer Vet miraculously saves the young man's leg. (Oh, I guess ripping his leg off that fence was the best idea after all! DUHHHH!) And now everybody has to discuss whether or not Shane should kill him.
7) Rick and Lori strip in the tent (preparing to make another stupid baby, perhaps?), and she begins brainwashing Rick into murdering Shane. Her new nickname would be Lady McLori (as in Lady McBeth) but she's too stupid to get the reference.
8) All in all a great start to the episode, and the usual boring farm finish. Why they gotta go and ruin everything??? Fine. That's what I think... WHAT DID YOU THINK?

Caring for Cats
It's about dinnertime and a large grey and white cat is anxiously waiting for Alex Brown to bring him some food.
Two calico cats are cautiously hovering nearby, but Jack seems determined to chase them away so he can get all the food.
Jack, as Brown calls him, wasn't always so heavy, though. He was actually pretty thin when she first started feeding him.
Brown has been feeding Jack since September, when she became aware of the feral cat problem on campus as a result of doing her sociology capstone project.
As part of her research project on animal welfare advocates, Brown spent time making the rounds of Georgetown with Margaret Hollembeak, a volunteer with Georgetown Animal Outreach. Hollembeak feeds colonies of feral cats in Georgetown and also tries to get the cats spayed and neutered.
After Brown started feeding Jack, more cats started coming.
"I realized there were more than I thought," Brown said. She is now feeding eight cats, several of which are kittens. She puts out several bowls each night so the other cats can eat without being disturbed by Jack.
With assistance from Hollembeak, Brown began trapping all the cats so they could be taken to the Austin Humane Society to be spayed and neutered.
Brown has been paying for the cat food out of her own savings and a new job as a nanny for a local family. She is trying to start a group that will feed the cats after she graduates in May. Several staff members volunteered to help her over Winter Break.
Brown also hopes to find a good home for Jack, who she said is "shy at first but very sweet most of the time."
"Jack probably wouldn't be good with other cats because he hogs the food, but if he was the only cat he would make a good pet," she said.
Laura Hobgood-Oster, a religion professor who is active with local animal rescue efforts, said that while there have always been both "owned" and stray cats on campus as long as she has been here, Brown is the first student who has taken an interest in organizing a group to take care of them, get them all into one general location and make sure they are taken to a vet.
"It's really neat to see," she said.
Anyone interested in helping with the cats should contact Brown at email@example.com

RALEIGH, NC (AP) — A state judge won't stop a North Carolina school district from starting classes next week despite a state law requiring a 10-week summer vacation.
State Administrative Law Judge Joe Webster ruled Tuesday he didn't see a reason to stop Macon County schools from opening classes on Aug. 4. A group dedicated to upholding the school calendar law said the exception watered down the mandate against classes beginning before Aug. 25.
North Carolina adopted a statewide school calendar in 2004 at the urging of the tourism industry and parents who wanted to keep summers as free time.
Lawyers for the 4,400-student school district in the state's westernmost corner say school officials want to start three weeks earlier to allow for week-long remedial reading sessions in October, March and July.

Sure hope this goes here. Looking for an excellent replica of the WWII khaki pistol belt. There are a lot of cheap rip offs out there and I don't want to get taken again. Hope you can steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) has reached an agreement with Airbus to purchase 15 A321 aircraft for delivery beginning in 2018. The economically efficient, proven-technology A321s will replace similar, less-efficient domestic aircraft that are being retired from Delta's fleet.
"This opportunistic aircraft order continues Delta's disciplined, capital efficient approach to fleet renewal," said Delta CEO Richard Anderson. "These new airplanes will improve the flying experience for our customers and benefit our shareholders."
Delta's first A321 will begin service in early 2016, with 20 First Class seats, 23 extra-legroom seats in Economy Comfort and 149 seats in Economy, which are among the widest in the industry. Each A321 will feature in-flight Wi-Fi, industry leading in-flight entertainment with live satellite TV and on-demand options, and standard 110v power at every seat.
With today's announcement, Delta now has 45 A321s on order, aircraft that are common with the 126 Airbus narrowbody aircraft currently in the Delta fleet. All of Delta's Airbus narrowbody aircraft feature CFM56 engines produced by CFM International, a joint venture of General Electric Co. and Snecma (Safran) of France.
This aircraft order is consistent with the company's previously announced fleet and capital plans. Delta targets reinvesting approximately 50 percent of its operating cash flow back into the business, resulting in $2 to $3 billion of capital expenditures annually through 2018, with $2.3 billion planned for 2014.

Photographer's Note
The City Palace of Udaipur at sunset, Rajasthan.
Few words about the City Palace:
A section of the Palace is open to public, another section is still used by the Maharaja, and one wing was converted into a luxury hotel. This is the largest palace complex in Rajasthan, and it is a blend of Medieval European and Chinese architecture, the palace complex has a number of remarkable buildings of immense beauty, gardens and fountains, well planned and finely executed over the years.

Hi Jorge,
together with Jaisalmer Udaipur is the place I loved most in Rajastan.
I like this sunset view...the golden reflection on the white marble.
I can also see the ghat on the lake..where I used to sit and take some photos on local people!
devimeuxbe (58557) 2008-03-11 5:40
Hi Jorge
The light is beautifull on the wall of this city. The water get also beautifull gold reflection.
Nice report and picture
jusninasirun (17529) 2008-03-11 6:11
Hello Jorge. Excellent architectures under the light well captured with the clear water in the fg. Good sharpness and stunning against the spotless blue sky. Well done and best regards. Jusni
jwmunro (286) 2008-03-11 8:51
Hello Jorge -
This is well done and captured at the right time of the day for maximum impact. The image looks a tad soft and I am wondering why an f/4 was used rather than something smaller. Anyway, well seen and presented.
Thank you for sharing.
steliosk (4802) 2008-03-11 10:17
Hi Jorge again,
Quite descriptive, but it feels a little empty, something is missing in front I think.
Btw, why did you use the ND8 filter, your exposure was still fast enough not to make the waters blurry.
From my experience its best to use 2 ND8 filters, narrow aperture f/16 and looooong exposure 10 seconds to create that blurred water effect during the daylight, and of course a tripod.
One ND8 filter might not be enough in many cases, but you could try ND8 + polarizer + f narrowest + ISO lowest + not against to the sun :)
Many Regards and waiting for your next post

pboehringer (770) 2008-03-11 17:19
this is very good! I'm sure that I saw this same place here at TE, but not sure if it was in your collection or someone else. As far as I rememeber that shot I certainly prefer this one that has this magical light bathing the whole scene in a golden light. The only thing that I miss would be a boat in the 1/3 left or right corner ;-)

text: By Aparajita Saxena July 26 (Reuters) - Southeast Asian stock markets were cautious on Tuesday as investors steered away from risky assets ahead of central bank meetings in the United States and Japan. The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady on Wednesday, but traders will be closely parsing its statement for clues on policy direction. "Investors are on a wait-and-see mode right now, ahead of the Fed meeting," said Mikey Macanaig, an analyst with Sunsecurities Inc. "We don't know what the impact of Brexit is and it'll be a big risk for the U.S. to hike interest rates so soon." Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan is expected to ease policy later this month, according to a majority of economists polled by Reuters, who said a combination of measures would be used in another attempt to boost anaemic inflation. "Japan is in a risky situation right now, but we definitely are expecting some sort of an economic easing in Japan," said Macanaig. Vietnam shares led the losses in the region and were on track for a sixth session of falls. The market is likely to remain in a "short-term cumulative correcting phase before confirming trend in the medium- and long-term," Vietcombank Securities said in a note. Energy stocks were among the top losers, with Petrovietnam Gas Joint Stock Corp easing 4.8 percent. Singapore shares were down for a second day, with industrials accounting for most of the decline. Singapore's industrial production in June fell slightly more than expected from a year earlier, as sharp falls in marine and offshore engineering output and pharmaceuticals production offset a jump in electronics output. Philippine shares gained as much as 0.5 percent after President Rodrigo Duterte vowed on Monday to push for several economic reforms to support the economy.

SCOTUS to review Michigan's affirmative action ban
The Supreme Court will expand its review of affirmative action in higher education, announcing Monday that it will hear Michigan's challenge to a lower court decision that a ban on the policy is unconstitutional.
In November, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Proposal 2, a voter-approved ban on affirmative action policies in Michigan universities, ruling that it violates the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
Proposal 2, which was passed in November 2006 by a margin of 58-42 percent, was pushed by Jennifer Gratz, the head of the American Civil Rights Institute. Gratz lost her own affirmative action case against the University of Michigan in 2003, in a landmark Supreme Court ruling.
"The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative was backed by 58% of the Michigan electorate and simply states that public institutions cannot grant preferential treatment to any group or individual on the basis of race. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the will of the people last November," Gratz said in a statement on the Supreme Court's decision Monday. "The Court erred when it declared equality unconstitutional. We believe the US Supreme Court is poised to overturn the Sixth Circuit's decision."

Today, we bring you a home-made (and refined) recipe that's sure to make a statement at your New Year bash.
Waffle Cake with Sweet Condensed Milk
1 package plain wafers – round or square (9 layers, 9-inch diameter)
4 Cans cooked sweetened condensed milk (to lower fat content, you can use all low fat condensed mild or a mix of 2)
1 can condense with cocoa
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp lemon juice
2 cups of chopped pecans.
Step 1
Take the labels off the cans of condense milk, submerge them into the pot of water. Bold them for 2.5 hour. Make sure that they are completely covered with water at all times.
Step 2
Let the cans cool down, then carefully open them. Mix the softened half a stick of butter, lemon juice, pecans and Dulce de leche (cooked condensed milk). If using an electric mixer, use the paddle attachment. Mix for about 3 minutes until all is well combined. You'll need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple times.
Step 3
Using a spatula, spread 3.5-4 tablespoons of the cream onto a wafer, making sure it gets into every pocket. Take another wafer and put it on top of the creamed wafer and spread some more cream on top. Repeat until all the wafers are used up, leaving the top layer cream less.
Step 4
Place the cake between two cutting boards, and use something heavy to place on top of the cake. I used a pot with water. Let it sit for about 10 -15 min, then cover it with wrap and let it sit for 5-6 hours.
Step 5
Take condense milk with cocoa, add butter and cook it on low for 20-25 min or until it sticks to the spoon. You can add a teaspoon of any liqueur desired, but not necessary. Pour it over the top layer and blend it in.
Let the cake rest for an hour to allow the flavors to absorb. Serve and enjoy!

(Adds comments on growth)
MEXICO CITY, April 23 (Reuters) - Mexico's central bank is weighing the weak economy's need for low interest rates against the pressure to act if the Fed hikes, governor Agustin Carstens said on Thursday.
Carstens told lawmakers that policymakers will not hesitate to raise interest rates if inflation is threatened by weakness in the peso due to bets for higher U.S. interest rates.
He later suggested policymakers had room to hike off a current record low of 3 percent without crimping the economy.
"If we raise a little I think it won't have a major impact on economic growth," Carstens said at a congressional hearing in Mexico City.
Mexico's central bank is expected to hold borrowing costs steady next week, according to a Reuters poll, and analysts project policymakers will raise rates by 25 basis points in the third quarter.
The peso last month sank to a historic low against the dollar, hammered by a slump in oil prices and fears that higher U.S. interest rates will push investors to drop emerging market assets.
But data on Thursday showed that annual inflation cooled closer to the central bank's 3 percent target in early April, reaching 3.03 percent, giving policymakers room to keep rates low for now.
Mexican growth is expected to be just below 3 percent this year after expanding 2.1 percent last year amid slack domestic demand. (Reporting by Luis Rojas Editing by W Simon)

Kai Ryssdal: Not to get too far down into the bond market weeds on you here, but the Treasury auctioned off a new set of ten-year notes today. Wound up having to pay quite a bit more interest than they'd expected. A sign, perhaps, that the market here is as worried about those rising federal debts as the Russians are.
The Senate is considering a piece of legislation that would regulate the tobacco industry. The House has already passed its version of the landmark bill. And President Obama -- who's been known to take a puff or two in the past -- is expected to sign it. This bill is a big deal because for the first time it'll let the Food and Drug Administration regulate tobacco as a drug. But as Marketplace's Sarah Gardner reports it's not clear how much cigarettes are going to change in the end.
SARAH GARDNER: This legislation gives the Food and Drug Administration authority over tobacco products for the first time ever. American Cancer Society lobbyist Gregg Haifley says it's about time.
GREGG HAIFLEY: The tobacco industry has been in the industry that is in the business of producing, marketing and selling addiction, and disease, and death-causing products.
Under this bill, the FDA would impose sweeping new limits on tobacco advertising, especially to kids. It would demand more explicit and bigger warning labels and ban advertising terms like "low tar" or "mild." Health advocates say those are misleading.
But it also gives the government power to limit the levels of nicotine and other ingredients in tobacco products.
BILL PHELPS: We believe that FDA regulations could provide some clear guidelines and some oversight of products that could potentially reduce the harm caused by smoking.
That's no anti-tobacco crusader. That's Bill Phelps of Phillip Morris, the nation's largest cigarette maker. The company not only supports this legislation, it helped shape it. But Phillip Morris won't say whether it's already started re-formulating its brands. Other cigarette makers didn't get back to us.
Meantime health advocates are skeptical FDA regulation will result in a safer cigarette.
STANTON GLANTZ: It's kind of like trying to push a balloon into a box that isn't quite big enough.
That's researcher and anti-tobacco activist Stanton Glantz at U.C. San Francisco.
GLANTZ: You can push down the levels of one thing or another but in doing that you usually push up the level of other bad things.
Glantz worries Congress has made too many concessions in this legislation, like letting the tobacco industry sit on a scientific advisory panel. Other political compromises were probably inevitable, like no outright ban on nicotine. That's the stuff that makes cigarettes so addictive. Matthew Myers is president of Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
MATTHEW MYERS: We've tried prohibition before. Prohibition of an addictive product with 40 million American users won't produce a public health benefit.
That's 40 million smokers and falling. But the tobacco industry can still count on the rest of the world. Last year, Phillip Morris International sold over 800 billion cigarettes. Bigger sales are expected in 2009.
I'm Sarah Gardner for Marketplace.

Jennifer Aniston and Co.'s 'Five' Close To Getting a Sequel
Never underestimate the power of Jennifer Aniston. While Lifetime's five-part, generation-spanning breast cancer miniseries Five, on which she served as a co-executive and co-director on (alongside Demi Moore, Alicia Keys, Penelope Spheeris, and Patty Jenkins), earned lukewarm reviews from critics and wasn't quite the ratings hit it was expected to be when it aired last October (according to The Hollywood Reporter it averaged an average 1.3 million viewers), the Emmy-nominated saga could still get another shot at the small screen.
Lifetime has confirmed to Hollywood.com that a sequel for the 2011 project, which attracted the likes of talents such as Rosario Dawson, Patricia Clarkson, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Jeanne Tripplehorn as stars, is in its final stages of development for the network.
According to Deadline, the follow-up, which is tentatively titled Five 2 (no, not this) will follow the same overlapping stories structure, but this time will feature short films dealing with mental illness. They also report that Aniston will be back on for the new miniseries, which is nearing a green light, as will her former Friends boss Marta Kauffman, among others. (No word yet on whether original contributors like Moore and Keys will also return this time around).
While A-list ensembles don't always guarantee a huge success, better this than say another Valentine's Day or New Year's Eve. Even better for the Five's sequels changes: the miniseries is officially back.

This is the challenge set by LanguageCourse.net with its Vocabulary Trainer app for Android. The tool allows you to learn more than ten thousand words, from travel phrases to business terms and even slang, you'll find pretty much everything you need right here. So, how can it help you?
8 tricks to learn a language with this app
1. Set Your Goal and Keep It In Mind
Create your own learning plan by setting up the number of courses you want to take per day and week in order to keep your learning goal in mind and to stay motivated. You can enter your highest score in the app to keep track of your learning process and to check your progress. The program itself will help remind you why you started the course and why you should keep training!
2. Establish Your Own Working Method: Save Time!
Don't let someone else set the pace and content of your course. Make the app work for you and take control of your learning process. This app enables you to create your own word lists. When you upload a word, the app automatically retrieves audio files with proper pronunciation and corresponding images. This means that when you create your own customized list of words, you already have all the information you need for each word and you won't have to waste time looking them up again later.
3. Work At Your Own Pace
When you learn new vocabulary, start with basic words, words you are likely to use in your day-to-day life. Once you feel ready, move on to more specific words. Do not try to learn complex words right away. If it is a completely new language for you, you might feel overwhelmed by the scale of the task and give up.
This language app offers free courses, with lessons of around 5 minutes each, and using different learning modes. You can choose to learn either according to your current language level: beginner: A1, A2; intermediate: B1, B2; or advanced: C1, or according to themes.
Each theme is divided into several sub-topics. So, for instance, if you suddenly have to travel abroad and don't have a firm grasp on the language, simply go to the "Travel phrases", and you will find very useful sub-topics like "Transportation", "Accommodation", "Shopping (food)", "Social Conversation", or even "Emergencies" to learn the basic treasury of words you will need to know during your trip.
4. Work Using Both Your Aural And Visual Memory
Some people have a better aural memory than a visual memory. Others may have the opposite. But the most effective way to learn something involves using both abilities! While you are reading vocabulary, listen to the pronunciation. You will see and hear it at the same time for doubly efficient learning. Simply adjust the app's settings in order to listen to the words while they are displayed. It is also the best way to learn to pronounce them properly! The program also has a Listen-only Mode to use while you are driving, cooking or doing housework.
5. Challenge Yourself!
Don't get stuck in a lazy learning routine. Your brain needs constant stimulation for effective learning. By choosing the app's Superlearning Mode, you will be able to see different lists of words or phrases successively. You can adjust the speed and set the number of words you want per list. To challenge yourself, set a higher speed and add more words per list!
6. Use Your Short and Long-Term Memory
Probably everyone, at one time or another, has studied for a test at the last minute, successfully passed the test, and then forgotten everything immediately thereafter. This is because only your short-term memory has been used. To remember your lessons in the long run, you need to access both your long- and short-term memory.
After using the app's Superlearning Mode, a quiz will check your short-term memory ability. Then, in the following courses you will learn new words. However, the words you have acquired in previous courses will still appear now and then to optimize your long-term memory.
7. Practice, practice, practice
It's a good thing to set as many goals as you like, but we all know it's practicing regularly that will finally improve a skill. Take some time every day. With these tips you may only need to exercise 5 minutes a day, but make sure you will do so. Set up a routine. That can happen at the breakfast table, during morning or afternoon commute or at your favorite coffee shop. No limits here.
8. Don't Forget To Have Fun!
The ultimate threat to learning is boredom. To avoid falling into this trap, find a entertaining and engaging way to learn. The app is conceived to be playful and interactive. You can choose the way you want to answer the quiz by setting a different response mode with multiple choice answers, multiple choice with pictures, or typing in the answer — if you feel confident enough… You can even set background music to learn in a nice atmosphere!
Benefits of learning a language using mobile apps
There are more than 6,000 spoken languages in the world today. While many of them have only few speakers, languages such as Mandarin, Spanish, English or Hindi have more than two billions. By mastering one of these and become confident in other ones too you will be able to communicate with most people in the world. Sounds tempting, doesn't it? There are more benefits as described below:
Exams – Practice for specific exams like the TOEFL, the IELTS, or the TOEIC. The app has some unique features and functions that you won't find in other leading language learning apps like busuu or Duolingo.
Variety – Available in over 30 languages, it is a great tool for anyone wanting to improve in a language. Whether you are interested in discovering common languages such as English or Spanish, some less common ones like Croatian or Swedish, or if you are aiming for even greater heights, like Arabic, Thai or Persian, this app will meet your expectations.
Easiness of learning – The app is conceived to adjust to your needs in terms of learning, to match your daily schedule, and to give you the opportunity to experience language learning in an original and effective way. It adapts to any kind of learner, from complete beginner to advanced.
Exercises – It also takes great care of the teaching method by making learners use both their short- and long-term memory, through different types of exercises and quizzes. It seems that people eager to learn new languages have seen the benefits of using such a tool since the Vocabulary Trainer app, launched in February 2015, counts over 500,000 new downloads per month.
Availability – The app is available for free at the Google Playstore for Android phones and tablets (Playstore link) and will be available in an iOS version for Apple users within the next month. You can also find the web version of the app at the store.

Aspirin may cut down colon cancer risks tooPublished On: Thu, Apr 24th, 2014 | Cancer Research | By BioNews
The humble aspirin that you pop to ameliorate headache or a precaution against heart attack can also take on the dangerous colorectal cancer in people with a specific gene, a significant study shows.
"Individuals whose colons have high levels of a specific gene product – 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) RNA – dramatically reduce their chances of developing colorectal cancer by taking aspirin," said the researchers.
Aspirin, however, provides no benefit to individuals whose colons show low levels of 15-PGDH, the researchers added.
"If you looked at the folks from the study who had high 15-PGDH levels and took aspirin, they cut their risk of colon cancer by half," said Sanford Markowitz, a professor at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in the US.
"If you looked at the folks from the study that were low for 15-PGDH, they did not benefit at all from taking aspirin," Markowitz added.
The extraordinary finding comes from a multi-institutional team that analysed data and other material from two long-term studies involving nearly 128,000 participants.
The study appeared in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

... i'm down at the inlaws next week (Kingsbridge), anyone got a midweek or weekend (27/28th) ride planned i could tag along on???
... i'm down at the inlaws next week (Kingsbridge), anyone got a midweek or weekend (27/28th) ride planned i could tag along on???
Think some of them have gone to the alps..
If no offers i could jump on a train and bob down for a bit of riding, in fact i think next weekend is free.
Si lives in Kingsbridge and should be back by then, so i'll look out for him on Msn and give him the heads up.
cheers Sharki, its Si's travel back weekend from the alps so he's not around.
if you fancy the train journey i could pick you up from the station?
any other STWers fancy a Dartmoor ride on the 27th or 28th June?
I'll be around then - time & place?
errrrrr... i should point out to those that don't know me that i'm not a yocal and am trawling for a guide but will pay in kind with beer and cake
hey Snaps, TBC, which options are best? and we'll confirm later
Plenty to choose from on the south east moor but the good stuffs between Bovey Tracy & South Brent
I can do a few dartmoor loops of me heed, but not at the same pace as that ride on the Tox we did, i seem to remember it being balls out for a few hrs...SS on Dartmoor might be a leisurely pace
Sharki - SS leisurely pace is fine by me (i won't be on my CX though!!!), i could collect you from Newton Abbot???
Bovey Tracey area works for me.
Sat or Sun and 10am meet??? where???
I'll not be able to confirm till midweek.
But will certainly be up for a ride with you whilst your down this way and it's a chance to get to Si's to look at a job.
Might be doing a few evening rides midweek - anything to get out of Devonport - will keep you posted!
you'd be able to swing by mine as well then?
sorry i've not got back to you before - ssuk and verbier ganging up on me....
Qwerty, How about an evening ride somewhere between The Avon Dam and Postbridge? I might have to be up at the Powdermills outdoor centre one or two evenings next week so I was planning to do a ride up there anyway. A night ride up the old tramway to Redlake is also a possibility.
I might be up for a weekend ride on Dartmoor on the 26th/27th I'll just have to check the domestic calendar to see if I'm free
BTW, if you're easily offended/intimidated then avoid Kingsbridge town centre next Wednesday lunchtime. I've got to have a tooth extracted and will be swearing & snarling at any vacuous, meandering, half-wit tourists who dare dawdle into my path as I head back up the hill from the dentists
EDIT * Eviljoe, just seen your post. You up for an evening ride too then?
Yes Del and yours..
Enjoy the trip.
sharki / snaps / others cool, looks like a rides on the way
slugwash / eviljoe - sounds good
whilst i'm at the inlaws my www access is via local library so heres my e.mail:
martinddd AT hotmail.co.uk
i'm heading down tomorrow and will check this thread periodically however if your a definate e.mail me i'll then forward my mobile no for last min text message updates

Ives shows at Bowdoin
Brunswick — In "Maine: Work & Play," Camden-native Jessica Ives (formerly Jessica Stammen) explores the interior and exterior landscapes where she lives, works and plays. More than 30 works comprise the exhibit, which will open Tuesday, March 4, at Bowdoin College.
The artist will be present to speak about her work at an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Blue Gallery of the David Saul Smith Union, located on the Bowdoin College campus at 3725 College Station.
Ives received her bachelor of fine arts degree from The Cooper Union School of Art and her master of arts degree from New York University. She was a New York One Hometown Hero, among Eileen Fisher's "Women Who Change The World Everyday," named one of Glamour Magazine's Top Ten College Women of 2003 and received multiple awards, grants and public speaking opportunities because of her work as an artist in residence at Ground Zero after 9/11.
In 2008, she returned to Midcoast Maine and collaborated on the startup of Jo Ellen Designs in Camden, while establishing her studio practice. Her work is represented by Gleason Fine Art in Boothbay Harbor and Courthouse Gallery Fine Art in Ellsworth.
Ives is an athlete and adventurer. She has cycled across the state of Maine from west to east in three days; climbed Acadia's Otter Cliffs with North Face athletes; and challenged the Islesboro Ferry in a three-and-a-half mile Penobscot Bay swim. In this exhibit, her paintings of play portray "outsiders": her father and brothers fly fishing on the Rapid River and Grand Lake Stream; and her friends who swim, canoe and kayak alongside her during summertime adventures. Also included are paintings of surfer friends who escape with her to Costa Rica for a spring break experience that is as integral to her winter life in Maine as the pond hockey she plays.
Ives' paintings of work depict the staff and apprentices of The Carpenter's Boat Shop in Pemaquid, where her husband works and where the construction of Monhegan Skiffs takes place in a brilliantly lit post and beam workshop. Her characteristic repurposing of previously painted panels also continues to play a significant role in this new work. And almost all the paintings in "Maine: Work & Play" are water-centric.
Under her maiden name Jessica Stammen, Ives is editor of The Maine, an online publication about the wonders of the state. She contributes as The Outsider and has selected several essays to accompany her paintings in this exhibition.
"Maine: Work & Play" will run through March 29. For more information, visit jessicastammen.com or contact Bonnie Pardue, Art Coordinator for the Smith Union, at 725-3902 or email@example.com.
Courier Publications' A&E Editor Dagney C. Ernest can be reached at (207) 594-4401, ext. 115; or email@example.com.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Ka E.
Review for The Wild Animal Sanctuary, Keenesburg, CO, USA
I have had the pleasure of going to the Wild Animal Sanctuary (Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation) for many years. To see the incredible care and love that the entire staff provide these beautiful animals is awe-inspiring. It is awesome how the animals come first, not the humans. It is easy to know the concern when you see how the habitats are designed and "furnished" with activities that enrich and protect them. Each species needs and enrichment are individually designed as well as the "special needs" animals. One of my favorite stories was about a tiger in the round house facility. He had gotten old and unable to get into his water tank to play, so they got him a lower one, so he could still have his own hot tub. I watched him hanging out in it. That is what they deserve, to be able to live their lives in peace and in a beautiful setting. I am so glad to have had the honor of talking to Pat Craig and the other staff. They deserve all the accolades and support possible. Kathleen Eccles

It was expected that President Barack Obama was going to sign an executive order for improvement of the nation's cybersecurity — although some have already criticized it — on Tuesday he has also issued a Presidential Policy Directive for infrastructure security as well.
The new directive updates the Homeland Security Presidential Directive, which was issued in 2003. It came with the president's State of the Union address Tuesday, which touched on the cyberattacks and defense and announced his signing of the executive order.
"We know hackers steal people's identities and infiltrate private e-mail. We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, and our air traffic control systems," Obama said during his evening address.
"Proactive and coordinated efforts are necessary for us to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure – including the assets, networks, and systems that are vital to public confidence and the Nation's safety, prosperity, and well-being," the press release issued by the White House's Office of the Press Secretary read.
Given that the owners and operators of critical infrastructure are in the best position to manage risks and decide upon the best strategies to make them secure, this new directive seeks to strengthen the alliance between that sector and local, state, federal and tribal governments by:
- Refining and clarifying functional relationships across the Federal Government to advance the national unity of effort to strengthen critical infrastructure security and resilience;
- Enabling effective information exchange by identifying baseline data and systems requirements for the Federal Government; and
- Implementing an integration and analysis function to inform planning and operations decisions regarding critical infrastructure.
Going forward from here, the press release stated, an assessment will be conducted of the existing public-private partnership involving critical infrastructure and recommendations will be made for how it can be improved for national security. A plan will also be established to ensure efficient information flow from the federal government to industry stakeholders, as well as development of "a situational awareness capability."
As for the executive order, Obama said in his State of the Union address it is meant to "strengthen our cyber defenses by increasing information sharing, and developing standards to protect our national security, our jobs, and our privacy." He urged Congress to pass legislation as well that would "give our government a greater capacity to secure our networks and deter attacks."
Under the president's new order, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has a year to finalize a package of voluntary standards and procedures that will help companies address their cybersecurity risks. The package must include flexible, performance-based and cost-effective steps that critical infrastructure companies can take to identify the risks to their networks and systems and ways they can manage those risks.
Officials will also come up with incentives the government can use to encourage companies to meet the standards, and the Pentagon will have four months to recommend whether cybersecurity standards should be considered when the department makes contracting decisions.
The administration was limited by law in what it could include in an executive order. But the order also calls for agencies to review their existing regulations to determine if the rules adequately address cybersecurity risks.
Here's more about the executive order from Wired:
The order still allows the private sector to share information with the government, but references established safeguards — such as the Fair Information Practice Principles — for protecting the privacy of customers whose information is shared and also carries some built-in limitations for the kind of information that companies will likely share. The order requires DHS's chief privacy officer and its officer for civil rights and civil liberties to assess the privacy and civil liberties risks of the programs.
Civil liberties advocates praised the executive order in this regard, but said they will withhold judgment until they see how the information-sharing gets played out in practice.
"A lot of what this shows is that the president can do a lot without cybersecurity legislation," said Mark Jaycox, policy analyst and legislative assistant for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who points out that the executive order satisfies the need for information sharing without the privacy problems that existed under legislative proposals where loopholes would have allowed companies to dump large amounts of data on the government in an effort to obtain legal immunities. Without those immunities, companies will by nature be more circumspect about what they provide the government, thus limiting what they hand over Jaycox said.
Not everyone is pleased with the executive order, as we pointed out in an earlier post. Some lawmakers believe that just because Congress was not able to pass legislation regarding cybersecurity yet does not merit the president taking action himself.
"I think in general it means (the U.S.) will advance the case of cybersecurity, and that's important," said Paul Smocer, the head of the technology policy division at The Financial Services Roundtable, a powerful lobbying group that represents the nation's biggest banks. "How much teeth versus how much gum there is, we'll see."
Take a look at the full executive order from Wired here.
