Ahead of the March 28 and April 11 elections, the usage of the Card Readers is a big leap for the nation's democracy, but the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should conduct more mock card reader and voting exercises to improve the technical capacity of the polling officials.
A civil society group, the Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth and Advancement (YIAGA) gave the advice Tuesday in Abuja while presenting the interim report of its 195 observers deployed to monitor the exercise in 12 locations where they were held.
The head of research policy and advocacy of YIAGA, Samson Itodo told reporters that they are convinced that the card reader machines have proven to be very efficient and reliable device for enhancing electoral integrity.
He also advised that the finger print authentication should be limited to two instead of 10 fingers, develop alternative ways of transmitting accreditation data from the poling units to its central server in case the GSM date service fails on election day, and to deploy more female election officials to encourage more women participation especially in the North.
"We are convinced that the card readers if properly managed have the tremendous potentials of preventing electoral malpractices in the forthcoming elections, 98 percent of the polling units observed reported that the card reader successfully verified all the PVCs presented by the voters and registered in all the polling units," Itodo said.
On the processing speed of the machines he said the average time spend on the verification as observed is 5 seconds in 84 percent of the polling units, while 20 seconds was the average time used for fingerprints authentication.
The group further urged that the officials should be properly be educated on the role and duties of observers, as field reports indicate that some polling officials were hostile and non-cooperative with observers.
He wonder why some of the political parties were opposing the Card Readers usage when they were all part of the arrangement and its approval in 2014.

The hottest African nation in the news right now is, of course, Zimbabwe. As I write this in late December the US State Department has issued a Travel Warning against Zimbabwe. Canada's Foreign Affairs and International Trade Department followed only days later with its own Travel Warning. And although the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office had not yet issued a blanket travel warning for Zim, it was advising against all travel to certain parts of the country, including the city center of Harare.
The wording in the US Travel Warning is not particularly scary, but it cites civil demonstrations, riots by soldiers and an overall deterioration of government services and infrastructures, including, of course, the collapse of public health systems and the recent cholera outbreak. Add to this the very scary news coverage of supposed assassination attempts, "plots of terror" and a ploy by the government to call a state of emergency, and one just may be inclined to follow the State Department's advice to bypass Zimbabwe right now. Fortunately, the Travel Warning was issued at the end of the safari season when few hunters are traveling there. But what does this mean for anyone booking a hunt this coming safari season?
I called Sally Bown, executive secretary of the Safari Operators Association of Zimbabwe (SOAZ) for her on-the-ground perspective at press time. While she did not want to contradict the US State Department and admits there are severe problems, she says that the safari industry continues to operate as usual. "The stresses that we have to deal with, such as telephones not working, power outages and shortages of supplies, are not anything the client needs to handle, as it is the operator's job to ensure the client isn't even aware of these," Bown says. As for security, she says that short of a revolution, hunters should have no trouble as long as they do not get involved in political activities and demonstrations in urban areas, and they stay out of areas where humanitarian efforts are underway.
Despite what we see in news broadcasts, Bown says it is safe to overnight in Harare. She has again offered to meet arriving hunters at the airport this coming season and escort them to a very nice lodge on the outskirts of the city. Otherwise, hunters arriving in Harare should immediately take an air charter or be driven to their hunting area. "Obviously, situations change," Bown adds. "Check in with your operator before leaving for a safari this coming season," she advises.....

Having been refused subscriptions to the likes of Wildlife Treasury and Sweet Pickles during our formative years, we're suckers for flash cards. Combine their didactic delights with posters and architecture and you've got Archigrams: minimal, informative prints of famous buildings ranging from Gerrit Rietveld's Schroeder House to the Gherkin (a.k.a. 30 St. Mary Axe by Norman Foster, no relation to Sweet Pickles). "The idea came to me years ago when I was an architecture student at UCLA, studying for my architecture history exams," says Michie Cao, now a graduate student in interaction design at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She returned to the idea as part of a project for her SVA course in Entrepreneurial Design.
"As designers, we tend to be perfectionists and want to hide our ideas from the world until it's one-hundred-percent developed and perfect. Unfortunately, that often prevents us from actually building it and getting the objective feedback we need to take the next step," Cao explains. "The goal of this class was therefore to teach us how to use our networks, build a community base, and to learn how to test ideas out in the real world." Her Archigrams Kickstarter campaign of last month raised $11,258, nearly four times the original goal, and production is now underway. Cao took time to tell us more about the concept, her sentimental favorite building, and how you can get in on the architectural fun.
How would you characterize the initial response to your concept?
Mixed! My initial concept of Archigrams was essentially a set of visual flashcards for modern architecture, and the first people I showed this to were classmates, friends, and Reddit. Many people, especially designers and architecture people, told me they loved the prints. Others told me they were turned off by the idea of flashcards, because it invoked bad memories of high school. From there, I iterated and played with all the ways I could frame my concept—first, by completely eliminating the informational aspect of it and then, incrementally bringing it back. Finally, I arrived at the concept I have now, which is that they are beautiful prints, supplemented by tidbits of important information every architect knows. My Kickstarter campaign took a while to catch on in social media, but after getting featured on various blogs and websites and as [a Kickstarter] Project of the Day, it finally got the exposure it needed and took off.
Any personal favorites of the buildings depicted?
I think my favorite has always been the Villa Savoye, as it is a perfect example of how technology and design can complement each other. In embracing modern engineering techniques and relying on a grid of columns instead of traditional walls to bear the load of the structure, Le Corbusier created the opportunity to craft a whole new design language of open floor plans, free facades, and ribbon windows. The house represents many new innovations in technology of its time, yet amazingly, remains elegantly simple. As a designer who's all about making complicated stuff more accessible and delightful, that really resonates with me.
In the wake of your successful Kickstarter campaign, what's next?
For now, my priority is to fulfill the orders I've gotten from Kickstarter and to make sure Archigrams is produced at the highest quality level possible. I hope to get them all out to their owners by late August. But definitely, I am also thinking about expanding it to include more sets, with new buildings and perhaps themes, and creating an online shop to sell them.
How can those who didn't back you on Kickstarter get their hands on Archigrams?
For those interested in purchasing an Archigrams set or poster, they can sign up for pre-orders and updates at archigrams.launchrock.com. I hope to launch a shop soon, and that's where they can hear about it first! They can also follow me on twitter @archigramsny.

Eating disorders like food ruts; they like strict control and routine. Yet in recovery you have to get out of those. That's why I'm talking about them today for WIAW with Laura and Jenn and 'Thinking Out Loud Thursday' with Amanda. I still find myself even going into the yogurt, peanut butter, and fruit food rut, because those foods just feel safe.
I'm also linking up with the 'Foodie Friday' party with Fit Foodie Mama, Fairy Burger, and Chocolate Runner Girl for Foodie Friday to share this fun, easy overnight oat recipe!

In this video, which clocks in at almost three hours, YouTuber NicksplosionFX features start screens from Nintendo games gone by. The YouTuber states that the titles are arranged in alphabetical order, but don't get too hung up on that and just enjoy the nostalgia.
It's certainly an incredible feat and a great showcase of some classic titles, along with a quite a few niche titles. You can't help but admire the painstaking work that went into the creation of this video.
Well, we have nothing better to do for the next three hours...and even if we did, this is probably good cause to put it on hold.

My glasses steamed up, but OK with me
Awkward, delicious time at Little Sheep
Ian Anderson 9:30 a.m., Nov. 23
(Page 3 of 3)
On the night of the election, Peña Nieto was declared winner with only 5 percent of the votes counted. The rest of the candidates declared him winner; even Calderon declared him winner. Andrés Manuel López Obrador made no comment about the results. The Mexican public was in shock: while international news declared the election was "too close to call," in Mexican news, Peña Nieto was declared the absolute winner.
The gravest thing about these elections is that the PRI relied on the extreme poverty of underprivileged Mexican citizens in order to win. History has proven that the PRI only produces more poor and uninformed citizens, who sell off their votes for the tiniest of gifts in exchange for their loyalty. It's an endless cycle that can only be broken with information, education, and a lot of hard work.

Great story and the video shows the power of modern technology in todays society!
No wonder Governments want to Control not only the Web but the airwaves also!
They even have voice recognition software so that computers can ID who is speaking...
It is so sad when those FEW with $O MUCHO want ever more, and continue to "take from the poor" as much as possible.
I look for this to reduce even more foreign investment in Mexico because there are plenty of other countries where retirees can go that do not have these Political Problems to deal with!

BOSTON (CBS) – The family of a New Hampshire girl is praying for her recovery after she was hit by a driver who, police say, was drunk.
Six-year old Cloe Adams was riding with her grandfather on his motorcycle when they were hit on Sunday.
WBZ-TV's Karen Anderson reports
According to police, the driver who hit them, 47-year-old Thomas Grenier of Epping, New Hampshire has been in trouble before. He was charged with assault in 1993. He pleaded guilty to drug charges in 2006. Grenier's mother recently took out a restraining order against him.
Cloe has had a blood transfusion and several surgeries on her leg at Children's Hospital Boston.
On Thursday, she was finally able to leave her hospital bed for the first time since the accident.
Her parents are focused on her recovery, but they're doing anything they can to prevent this from happening again.
"I hope he gets what he deserves. I hope he feels it was worth his good time to hurt my baby. I really hope it was worth it for him. And I hope he gets what he deserves," said Cloe's mom, Liz Adams.

Our History of Success
Saratoga County
One of the most unique and popular counties in Upstate New York, Saratoga County has stood the test of historical time. Present when the Iroquois first called the land "Sarachtogue" to its pivotal role as the "Turning Point of the American Revolution," Saratoga County still makes a memorable impression. But it's part of the namesake that truly made Saratoga County a worldwide name. As the "Queen of the Spas," prominent names such as Martin Van Buren and J.P. Morgan can be found staying in town which helped influence the wealth and social eliteness Saratoga County is now known for today. Come visit us and experience arts with the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, history with the National Museums of Racing and Dance and fun at the Saratoga Race Track. There's so much more to explore and see – come find out for yourself!
Saratoga Springs
We might be biased, but we think Saratoga Springs is the greatest city to live in! Whether you're shopping local, dining out or taking part in a healthy activity, Saratoga Springs offers an activity for everyone. Home to horse racing, concerts, history, museums, gaming, mineral springs and much more, there's always something to do. Shop downtown at any of our locally owned businesses on beautiful Broadway, try your luck at the Saratoga Race Track enjoy a performance on the lawn at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center or take a hike at the Saratoga Spa State Park. And don't forget to try the healing and healthy mineral springs found at number locations throughout the city!
Saratoga Battlefield
Some would argue that the Revolutionary War might not have been won without the victory at Turning Point – and that happened right here in our backyard! The Saratoga Battlefield, home to history and American pride, is a great place for a visit even if you aren't a history buff. Take a self-guided tour of the Schuyler House where General Philip Schuyler lived, the 155-foot Saratoga Monument which commemorates the American victories or the 22-acre Victory Woods where British General John Burgoyne and his troops camped out before surrendering. With themed events going on throughout the year, there's never a bad time to brush up on your American History knowledge!
Saratoga Springs wouldn't be Saratoga Springs if not for the natural mineral springs that populate our healthy city. With high-profile visitors such as the Vanderbilts coming for the springs' health benefits way back when, the naturally carbonated springs are still frequented by visitors from all over. With springs located all throughout the city and categorized as having either cathartic (laxative), alkaline (antacid) or chalybeate (high in iron) qualities, you're bound to run into one whether you meant to or not! Take a sip, or a gulp if you like, and know you experienced the best of the what the "Queen of Spas" has to offer!
Saratoga Spa State Park
Listed as a National Historic Landmark, the Saratoga Spa State Park has much more to offer than just some trees and grass. With 12 mineral springs throughout 800 acres and numerous hiking trails for all seasons (no, we don't hide away in the winter!), the manliest of outdoorsmen (or women) will find the park to be full of adventure and exhilaration. But for those a bit fainter of heart, the park offers other great activities such as the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Spa Little Theater, National Museum of Dance, Saratoga Automobile Museum, Gideon Putnam Resort and Roosevelt Baths and Spa, Peerless Pool Complex and Saratoga Spa State Golf Course. Open year round, there's never an excuse to not get outside and have fun in Saratoga!
Race Course
We're proud to call Saratoga the home of the oldest continually operating Thoroughbred horse racing meet in the United States! Recognized as one of the top ten sporting venues in the world by Sports Illustrated it's a must see spot on your visit to Saratoga. Spend a day at the race course, watching the horses warm up on the track as you eat breakfast and soaking up some sun as you place bets on the longshot. Open from July through Labor Day, a day spent at the track is a day never forgotten.
The summer home of the NYC City Ballet and the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Saratoga Performing Arts Center never ceases to be the center of entertainment in Saratoga. Spend an evening on the lawn or in the amphitheater listening and watching some of the greats from the Dave Matthews Band to Elton John at one of the world's most acoustically acclaimed outdoor performance venues. SPAC is also known for hosting the Saratoga Jazz Festival and the Saratoga Wine and Food Festival, supporting the arts through and through.
Caffe Lena
Saratoga has coffee shops galore, but this is one you won't want to miss. Widely recognized as the oldest continuously operated coffeehouses in the United States, Caffe Lena is a Saratoga treasure. Opened in 1960, Caffe Lena has held true to its beginning as breathing in ideas, dreams and possibilities and breathing out music, poetry and theater now as a non-profit institution. So take a trip up the stairs to Caffe Lena and be rejuvenated through the power of art.

Posted: Dec 17, 2002 at 4:58 PM (Last Updated: Oct 25, 2002 at 5:18 AM)While we normally do not like products with aspartame, Diet Dr. Enuf really gets the job done. We'd still like to see them switch to splenda, but in the meantime, this one has a very nice flavor to it. The artificial sweetener leaves only the slightest aftertaste and maintains most of the original flavor. Overall, a great diet soda.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 26 (UPI) -- University of Tennessee sophomore tight end Brendan Downs was arrested outside a Knoxville, Tenn., bar, hours after the final game of the season, police said.
Downs, 19, was removed early Sunday from a nightclub by a manager and then created a disturbance with loud and profane language, police said.
An off-duty Knoxville police officer arrested Downs, who was charged with underage consumption of alcohol and public intoxication, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported Monday.
The arrest came after Tennessee defeated Kentucky in a season-ending home game, 37-17, bringing the Volunteers' record in 2012 to 5-7.

The last time Aaron Rodgers faced the New Orleans Saints, things started out fine. Rodgers led the offense to 21 first half points, keeping up with a high powered Saints offense in what looked to be shaping up into an epic shootout.
Of course, Packer fans remember all too well how that game got away from the Packers. A lot has been made this week about how the defense basically collapsed that night down in New Orleans, which it most certainly did. But there has been little mention of the interceptions thrown by Rodgers that led to several short fields which the Saints easily converted into points.
Rodgers is obviously a different quarterback now. And the Saints defense is different as well. What remains the same, however, is the need for Rodgers and his receivers to be on the same page when it comes to reading what Gregg Williams' defense is doing on any given snap. Rodgers and his perimeter receivers in particular will have to be on the same page in regards to what they are seeing from the secondary. We saw this issue pop up a lot last year, especially early, where the receiver on the outside would read the coverage as one thing while Rodgers would read it as another - which ended up with some very ugly looking plays with Rodgers throwing seemingly to no one on attempted back shoulder throws as the receiver continued to run a nine route down the field.
One encouraging sign has been the backshoulder touchdowns Rodgers has thrown to Jennings this preseason. The two have certainly looked synced up at times. However, there have also been plays like this:
Rodgers has all day while he scans the field before finding Jennings. What's interesting is how Jennings runs his route and where Rodgers places his throw. Watch Jennings in the second part of this video in particular:
Notice how Jennings is running an Out - while Rodgers seems to be throwing a deep Turn In. It's a small distinction, but its clear that Rodgers expects Jennings to work back toward the line of scrimmage while Jennings is running straight to the sideline. (You can actually catch what looks like Rodgers giving Jennings a little bit of the business after the play on the broadcast tape, seemingly telling him he needs to work back to the quarterback)
It's an incredibly small thing - but it can make all the difference, especially tonight as the Saints are throwing multiple looks at the offense. Knowing when to sit down in the zone (one of Driver's most underrated assets), seeing when the corner turns his hips in man coverage to give the receiver an opening to break down on a comeback, knowing when and how to employ a rip move when a corner continues to press the receiver at the line (Tom Walsh had a great quote about receivers fighting off bump and run: "The receiver must think of being in a phone booth with the only way out being directly behind the defender") - all these details and many, many more will go a long way toward the Packers receivers being able to make the offense click the way it needs to.
Rodgers and his receivers need to be absolutely sure they are in agreement about what they expect to do if they see certain looks from the Saints, and then they have to execute. There have been times, like Ruvell Martin in that 2008 Saints game or James Jones last year in the Patriots game, where we've seen Packers receivers run the right route but not execute it fully, resulting in interceptions. That's a big danger when you're dealing with a blitzing defense like Gregg Williams'. You can bet those cornerbacks will be looking to disrupt the timing of the Packers' routes early, trying to keep them off schedule long enough for the blitz to get home. Fighting through on those slant and smash plays could be the difference between prolonged drives and a turnover.
The loss of an offseason is no excuse - the Packers chose not to work together, often citing the fact that they know their system and can execute it with minimal fine tuning.
Tonight against the Saints will provide an excellent first test of that theory.

Gary Heidenreich(bop517)United States
Reposted from the Milwaukee Guild
January 25th
It started out with Kevin, Timm and myself squeezing in our ongoing game of Schafkopf. We started out the game with a doubler and I was at -9, Kevin was at +12 and Timm at -3. The first hand I got was the Grandma hands of Grandma hands. In the thousands of games I have played I maybe seen a hand like this less than 5 times and never in three handed (where you get 10 cards, not 6 like in five-handed). I had all four queens, all four jacks and the ace of diamonds and the 8 of diamonds. I got the hand and just laid it down, hand over. Doubler. Brought me back. On my third hand it was almost the same. I did have to play out the two black queens to draw out the rest of the trump and then laid it down. Dang. I was killin'. By the time Chris arrived, my hands started to turn, but I'm the leader at this time with Kevin in the pluses. Timm is still in the negatives. I'm not sure of the score right now.
I had already decided on the game we were going to play yesterday. I broke out Circus Train (First Edition) and the expansion. I just received it in trade and had been chomping at the bit to play. For me, it's the theme (and secondary was the gameplay that I read about). It took a little time to explain the rules and the game, overall, took us quite some time. It's a little fiddly but I think the second play of this will knock it down to 90 min or so (with four). I enjoyed the game and we played the basic rules for the most part, except we added in the special workers. I think that might have skewed scores as they seemed very high. The game was prepared to get near 300 points (on their scoring track). We were all over that. Timm won with 604, Chris had 351, Kevin had 374 and I had 322. I feel the scores will be high but closer the second game as we really went in blind on what is really good, scoring wise. Timm showed us that the elephants and becoming famous in elephants, is devastating to the others. I do enjoy the game and the second time I play will be different. I know how to build my circus better and know what is coming out in Summer and Fall as to how to perform. For a small publisher, I thought it was decent quality. Nice, easy to read chits, quality rules (in print and instruction wise). The board is a thicker paper (thinner than the original Twilight Struggle board) and is smallish (11"x17") but it was clear. I think next time either I'll strip it to basic rules or add in the advanced rules (where you can steal performers based on reputation and event cards). I did enjoy the game.
(edit: I did find out I completely botched the scoring)
At the halfway mark, we did bust out the Skull. That needed to be said.

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree said today that Mohegan Island will be getting a $420,000 federal grant to improve the efficiency and reliability of the island's electrical grid. Pingree had urged the U. S. Department of Agriculture to award the grant, which is part of a program intended to help rural communities where the cost of electricity is extremely high.
"Year-round island living can be expensive and challenging, but island communities are a key part of Maine's working coastal economy," Pingree said. "The electric rates on Monhegan have consistently been in the top 20 highest rates in the whole country and that threatens the year-round nature of island communities."
"This grant is a game-changer for our year-round island community, which has faced extremely high energy costs since the cost of diesel skyrocketed in 2008," said Chris Smith, Operations Manager for the Monhegan Plantation Power District. "We are grateful for the support of the USDA, Congresswoman Pingree and the Island Institute in helping us take this giant step towards a more affordable, efficient and sustainable power system."
Currently Monhegan residents pay 70 cents per kilowatt-hour, more than 4 times the typical rate on the mainland.
The grant will fund a 13KW solar system, a new 40KW generator and a new switching system that will allow the power company to switch between different power sources. The new generator will be a more efficient option for producing electricity in the winter, when the island's population drops. The new switch allows the island to incorporate renewable energy sources like solar or wind power.

Royals fall after furious comeback
Royals fall after furious comeback
Greinke was charged with 11 runs, the most any Royals pitcher ever has given up, but escaped a decision as his teammates tied the score before losing, 12-11, in the 10th inning on Troy Glaus' home run Friday night.
Glaus led off the 10th with a high blast into the left-field bullpen against reliever Mike MacDougal. That sucked the wind out of the Royals, who overcame an 11-2 deficit in front of 22,731 at Bank One Ballpark.
On this odd night, Greinke also cracked a home run. But among the 15 hits he gave up, which tied a club record, were three homers by the Diamondbacks.
"I thought it was great how we came back, but I did terrible," Greinke said.
Greinke was drilled for two homers by Shawn Green and one by ex-Royal Kelly Stinnett. Green drove in five of the runs, adding an RBI double against Greinke and a sacrifice fly against reliever Mike Wood.
This is the latest chapter in a five-game book in which Greinke has been tagged for 31 runs (11.79 ERA) and 43 hits in 23 2/3 innings.
Said Greinke, in response to what he was doing wrong, "A lot of things, I guess. If you ask my pitching coach, he'd say I'm leaving the ball up. If you ask guys on the team, they'll say I'm not throwing my best pitches. If you ask me, I'd say it's been both of it a little bit."
"Just the way things have been going the last five games, the strike zone seems smaller, the hitters seem bigger and stronger, it's harder to hit the corners."
Maybe Greinke needed to take out his frustration somehow. He reached the left-center field seats against right-hander Russ Ortiz with the bases empty in the fifth inning. It was Greinke's first Major League homer -- and his first hit -- and just the eighth blast in history by a Royals pitcher.
"I really didn't think I could hit that far, to tell you the truth," he said. "It just happened."
This was the Royals' first by a pitcher since Lance Clemons connected on Aug. 31, 1971. Jim Rooker had five home runs and Jim York hit the other.
Down, 11-3, to Ortiz after seven innings, the Royals surged to an 11-11 tie against the Diamondbacks' bullpen. The Royals' Ruben Gotay hit a two-run shot against reliever Edgar Gonzalez in their six-run eighth, and David DeJesus added a two-run triple in an inning that also included six walks by four Arizona pitchers.

Bats: L / Throws: R
The Royals, just one strike from losing, tied the score against right-hander Lance Cormier in the ninth on Matt Stairs' RBI single.
"That was a -- phew -- a tough loss," Royals manager Buddy Bell said. "We did a lot of bad stuff and an awful lot of good stuff. Unfortunately, it came down to a home run by Glaus, who's done that many times before."
The Royals' first game at the BOB ended on a 2-1 pitch from MacDougal as Glaus led off the 10th. The drive just made it over the fence, traveling an estimated 364 feet.
"Mac's our guy. We want him in there," said team captain Mike Sweeney, who missed a third straight game with a rib cage injury.
"If it's the same way tomorrow, we want the big redhead in there, no doubt about it."
Meantime, there was concern over Greinke's slump. Even though he gave up a record 11 runs and a record-tying 15 hits, he didn't get a loss. But he's 1-7 and his ERA has bloated to 6.01 from 3.09 five games ago.
"He's a young kid and he just has to figure it out. That's why we left him out there," Bell said. "We just have to be patient with him."
Bell suggested that perhaps Greinke just has lost trust in his stuff -- stuff that has served him well in the past. Perhaps so.
"Every time you throw to the plate, you feel like if you miss at all, it's going to go over the fence," Greinke said.
Eleven runs against him. An amazing comeback by the Royals. Then a flattening home run.
"This game, I can't figure it out," Bell said. "If you figure it out, let me know."

SHERIDAN — The Sheridan Press staff was recently recognized by the Inland Press Association for their work on an in-depth reporting project about the energy industry.
The project, "The Big Bang — A boom and bust energy industry," was published in a series in June and July, then republished as a special section July 20.
The project, completed primarily by former business and public safety reporter Paolo Cisneros, features reporter Christina Schmidt and photojournalist Justin Sheely, received a second-place award in the Inland Press Association's 2013 Local News Writing Contest in the explanatory reporting category for newspapers with circulations less than 10,000.
"This award is really exciting for our staff," managing editor Kristen Czaban said earlier this week. "It is the result of several months of work, a lot of research and a collaborative process we plan to continue to utilize for future projects at The Sheridan Press.
"This is an award to be especially proud of because we were competing against newspapers from across the country," Czaban added.
The eight-page section covered a variety of issues surrounding one of the state's most important industries with articles on topics including economic impacts of mining, energy policy, the history of Sheridan County's coal mines and the logistics of working in a global market.
The award will be presented during a ceremony in Chicago next week.
The entire series of articles and an e-edition version of the project can be seen at thesheridanpress.com.

The kids weren't identified, but their ages were 16, 10 and 8, and they were reportedly wearing life vests.
"We just thought it was some kids screaming until we seen their two heads bobbing in the water with the canoe upside-down," crew member Nelson Pettis told KPTV. "They were coming down over flooded Salmon Creek. It was raging pretty fast."
See river rescue video from Canoe & Kayak.
Pettis took off his jacket and dove into the frigid creek, letting the current take him down until he could get to a spot where his feet hit ground.
"They actually came to me right there," he said. "Right then, the current swept me from underneath my feet and I grabbed on to the kids and got them to a little island in the middle of the river."
They were able to get to a pile of wood debris in the middle of the creek. Larry Bohn, another crew member, helped the 16-year-old to shore and went to help Pettis with the younger boys and waited for a rescue crew.
"They were really scared," Bohn told KPTV. "They kept telling us, 'Thank you, thank you' all over again."
Vancouver firefighters and a Clark County technical rescue team arrived to bring the boys safely to shore. The inmates reached shore on their own. All were taken to a hospital with mild hypothermia.
The three inmates are serving time for non-violent crimes at the Larch Corrections Center.
"People are trying to say we're heroes. I don't think we're heroes. I think we did something that any good person would do," said inmate Jon Fowler, who helped the crew carry one of the brothers from the boat to shore. "You see three helpless kids in a river, you help. That's what you do. Just because we're incarcerated doesn't mean we're bad people. We made some bad choices in our lives, but we're still, we're just like everybody else. We're just paying our debt for what we did wrong."
Fortunately on Wednesday, they did everything right.

A public hearing will be held in Marana, on Tuesday, Feb. 18, regarding the proposed wastewater and water rate increases. The town council will hear from the public as they continue to the process to approve proposed rate increases for the current fiscal year.
Economists.com conducted a rate analysis on Marana's wastewater and water rates, components, fees and service charges to make sure that the Town of Marana Utilities Department will have a sufficient amount of funds for the coming years. Preliminary findings were presented to the mayor and council on Dec. 17.
Water rates were last changed in February 2011. On average, residents use about 6,200 gallons of water per month. The current monthly rate is $29.42 per 5,000 gallons. The proposed plan would increase residential water rates by $2.07 per month. For commercial businesses, the proposed monthly increase would be an average of $15.35 per month. The current monthly rate is $217.94 per 50,000 gallons.
John Kmiec, the Marana utilities director, said it is not uncommon for utility rates to increase.
"The increase is needed on both sides (water and wastewater)," said Kmiec. "Inflation is what drives up rates. Being a government utility we have to make sure our income matches our expenditures. We need
to match what we are spending."
Wastewater rates are also projected to increase. The rates were last changed in July 2012. Currently, residents and commercial businesses use an average of 2,200 gallons of wastewater per month. The current monthly rate is $33.26 per 5,000 gallons. The proposed plan would increase the wastewater rates by $2.92.
The proposed plan also includes water and wastewater increases for the next three years through 2017. Each year the utility rate will expect to increase between 5 to 7 percent.
If the proposed plan is approved, rate increases will go into affect on April 1 and rates for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 will be adjusted.
Marana owns the Marana Wastewater Reclamation Facility, which it took ownership of in January 2012 from Pima County. The facility, located at 14393 N. Luckett Road, treats and discharges about 250,000 gallons of sewage per day into the Santa Cruz River.

Championship: Steve Evans believes Rotherham can prove more than a match for rivals
Last Updated: 22/07/14 1:48pm
Rotherham manager Steve Evans believes the Millers can prove more than a match for some big-spending rivals in the Sky Bet Championship next season.
United have made 11 new signings since securing a second straight promotion, but only one of those recruits cost them any money, whereas other teams in the division have been splashing the cash.
However, Evans is determined to only focus on his own squad ahead of next month's opening match at Derby, before Wolves and Watford visit the New York Stadium in a tough start to the campaign.
"We know what's coming up in the Championship," he told the Sheffield Star. "The size of the challenge is highlighted by a club, Fulham, spending £11.2million on one player in striker Ross McCormack. But we don't preoccupy ourselves over it. We concentrate on ourselves and what we need to do.
"Other teams will be spending big as well, teams like Cardiff. You can see Stuart Gray at our neighbours, Sheffield Wednesday, is starting to bring people in, and I expect Stuart Pearce at Nottingham Forest will buy players. Brighton and Hove Albion are another team with a big budget and Wigan have been spending too."
Having broken their own transfer record to sign striker Jordan Bowery, Evans is hoping to bring in another young forward before the window closes.

New Polymer Lens Uses "GRIN" Technology to Mimic Human Eye

The team's polymer lenses with GRIN technology
(Source: Michael Ponting)
The team said the new lens could be used to replace damaged or diseased lenses in human eyes, or be applied to aerial surveillance technology
A team of researchers has
created a lens
that closely mimics that of the human eye, opening up potential opportunities for lifelike human lenses and other technology.
The team, made up of scientists from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, PolymerPlus and Case Western Reserve University, said that the new lens could be used to replace those that are damaged or diseased in human patients.
The lens was created using GRIN technology, which stands for gradient refractive index optics. Traditional lenses use a single index of refraction or surface shape to bend light in a certain direction. But with GRIN, light is refracted by "varying degrees" as it travels through the lens.
GRIN technology was applied to the new lens built by the team. The lens consists of thousands of nanoscale polymer layers stacked on top of each other, which were created using a multilayer film coextrusion technique. This allows each layer to be shaped appropriately according to GRIN. A 4,000-layer film is coextruded and 200 layers of film are stacked for an 800,000 nanolayer sheet.
Each nanoscale polymer layer has different optical characteristics. This allows the lens to change its refractive index, which further changes the refractive characteristics in the polymer.
According to results, the lenses are 3.5 times more powerful than glass.
human eye
is a GRIN lens," said Michael Ponting, polymer scientist and president of PolymerPlus. "As light passes from the front of the human eye lens to the back, light rays are refracted by varying degrees. It's a very efficient means of controlling the pathway of light without relying on complicated optics, and one that we attempted to mimic."
The team said the new lens could be used to replace damaged or diseased lenses in human eyes, or be applied to aerial surveillance technology.

DWTS Season 10 Media – Part II
For everyone asking about twitter accounts, John and I have been updating the Twitter Page! From the "stuff I found funny/bizarre/interesting today category…
Okay, I can't tell if this guy is going to go all the way, or if he's going to so annoy the regular DWTS audience that he leaves early. From MSNBC:
LOS ANGELES – Outspoken Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is the latest NFL star to join the "Dancing with the Stars" fray, but while the competition doesn't start for two more weeks, he's already got a message for the judges.
"From what I've learned in watching these shows, those judges can be a little harsh," Ochocinco told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson when she stopped by his rehearsal with professional partner Cheryl Burke on Tuesday in Los Angeles. "They have to remember, I am out of my element. Don't judge me like I'm a professional."
"Len Goodman, I'm gonna say this to you and I'm gonna say it to you early before the show even starts: 'Please do not step on my toes, because I will fight back. Thank you,' " Ochocinco noted.
Ya know, Len may have blind spots from time to time and be overly critical (Mya, Lil' Kim spring immediately to mind), but HE is the expert here and we ain't playin' football. Doofus. I give him props for not whining about the shoes like past male contestants. This is a pretty long article, of which I took only tiny bits.
He has the potential to be (as good as Smith), if he works hard," Burke said. "It's only the first week, but he's made a lot of progress."
Included is that progress is getting used to ballroom shoes.
"You know what? I love 'em," he told Robinson. "I had to get used to it because I'm a man. … When I got the shoes, it had the little heel on the bottom, but what I've been able to do is … to magnify my sway."
Can you believe that people are doing whole articles on Kate Gosselin's hair? Dear lord.
Hair's News! Kate Gosselin is getting ready for her debut on Dancing With the Stars and RadarOnline.com has learned that her stylist Ted Gibson is giving her a slightly new look, starting with taking her extensions out on Wednesday. The $7,000 hair-do Kate has been sporting is coming out, kids.
Kate will be hitting up the Ted Gibson salon on Wednesday and she'll be back to her famous short-do.
But not for long.
"She'll have a new hairdo tomorrow because we're taking them out and we're not putting them back in until Thursday. So she'll have short hair for a day," Ted told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
And Kate will have multiple shades in her new hairdo. "We're actually doing three different shades of blonde, a caramel, a beige blond and a little bit of a lighter blonde," Ted exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com
Nicey and Louis on The Insider!
Lots of the couples on Access Hollywood. Look on the righthand side for other videos.
Wanna make a bet? Of course there are odds on Season 10!! I'm finding that I don't much care for frontrunner status. The fall is harder. 🙂
There are two favorites this season among the 11 contestants with very close betting odds. Newly minted Olympic gold medalist Evan Lycasek with 2 to 1 odds and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger with 3 to 1 odds . Several factors play into their choices. First, Gold medalist have a very strong track record of winning DWTS. Especially since Evan's fame has skyrocketed since the Olympics recently aired. Nicole on the other hand, CAN DANCE! Bottom line, she's a Pussycat Doll. With heavy touring and show stopping moves, Nicole is definitely one to watch.
Aiden Turner: 18/1
Buzz Aldrin: 50/1
Chad Ochocinco: 9/2
Erin Andrews: 7/2
Evan Lysacek: 2/1
Jake Pavelka: 16/1
Kate Gosselin: 16/1
Niecy Nash: 25/1
Nicole Scherzinger: 3/1
Pamela Anderson: 12/1
Shannen Doherty: 16/1

Man Utd battling Newcastle for Janmaat
Daryl Janmaat
Manchester United have already started their defensive renovation with the hopeful addition of Thomas Vermaelen from Arsenal and the already completed move of Southampton youngster Luke Shaw. It now appears that right back is their next priority according to reports from the Star.
Netherlands international and Feyenoord Rotterdam right back Daryl Janmaat is believed the next target on Louis Van Gaal's revolutionary radar.
However, it appears that an initial offer of £4 million has been nowhere near the club's asking price of £7 million and the Red Devils are expected to have to raise their bid in order to stave off interest from fellow English Premier League side Newcastle United.
The Magpies are believed set to ship French international, Mathieu Debuchy to Arsenal for around £12 million freeing up the capital needed to secure Janmaat ahead of the Red Devils if there are not some other negotiations made.
The 24-year-old has been a first team regular since he was 19 years of age during his time with SC Heerenveen and his past two season's with Feyenoord have seen him continue to rise to the top as one of the premier young defensive Dutch players in the world.
With his national team manager set to leave and take hold of the reigns at Manchester United officially at the end of the World Cup, it would be expected that United have the edge over Newcastle in the mind of the player, but the purse strings are what are truly expected to be the deciding factor as to if Janmaat will move across the English Channel this summer.

Reasons for a Scene & Building up Scenes
Author Margaret Daley gave me great advice years ago when she said that she tries to have at least three reasons for a scene being in a book. If not, she either builds it up, or cuts it.
Today, I am sharing a list of reasons I have compiled for scenes being in a romance. If you write a different genre, I'd like to broaden the article. So, if you see some reasons missing...by all means...post 'em in the comment section! :-)
This will help you if you've ever received contest comments suggesting the judge didn't understand the reason for a scene. Or suggestions to build up a scene.
Every scene should move the plot forward and deepen characterization in some manner. And, every scene should have tension in it. Your opening scene should ALWAYS hook readers. Then write every scene as punchy as your first.
In every scene, ask yourself, "What is the point of this scene?"
Reasons for a scene (this is not all inclusive):
Hook readers.
Introduce characters.
Introduce external conflict.
Reveals characters' internal conflict.
Intro characters' story goal
Alter characters' goal.
Intro characters' motivation.
Intro relational conflict in romance.
Ramps tension (every scene should do this)
Forwards plot (every scene should do this)
Inciting incident/disaster
Black moment.
First kiss.
Ups the stakes.
Throws a wrench in characters' plans.
Shows the growing romance.
Establishes setting.
Reveals character's epiphany.
Introduces important secondary characters.
Reveals story crux.
To show characters strengths, integrity despite weakness
To endear character to readers.
To foreshadow upcoming conflict.
To bring in more conflict.
Red Herrings.
Introduce clues (if mystery).
Emotional punch
To deliberately mislead the reader (fairly, of course)
Emotional punch ( to maybe change the reader's opinion of a character.
To make reader feel empathy or sympathy for or understand a character's reaction
To pace up or slow down the plot speed
Sequel to show character's response to conflict etc.
To give plot information to readers
To anchor readers in setting, time period, etc.
New story or character revelation
To add conflict
To develop or deepen characterization
Spiritual depth
Set up for a sequel (as in a second book not a scene sequel)
Take the protagonist further away or closer to their goal.
Moves the story forward, forward momentum
Advances the plot
Deepens sensory so reader experiences story
Displays theme or takeaway
Spiritual thread
Show romantic or sexual tension between hero and heroine in romance
Introduce plot twist
To evoke reader emotion or sympathy
To foreshadow
To hint at upcoming conflict or impending doom
To bring in more conflict
Show important plot info
Tie up loose ends
Resolution/wrap up
Forgive me if I've repeated myself...I'm literally on drugs at the moment of posting this following surgery.
I KNOW THERE ARE MORE...so shoot me YOUR reasons for a scene being there. Stuff I haven't listed.
Cheryl Wyatt
27 comments :
Stuff you haven't listed?ReplyDelete
Honey, you listed every reason I could think of and twenty more, LOL!
Great post, drugs or not, and a little birdie told me you managed Nascar so I think the drugs are doing their job, honey-lamb.
So Cheryl, answer this...
Does the scene's point always have to be flagged for the reader's benefit if the build-up makes sense a few pages or chapters down the road?
I'm never a big fan of scenes that get explained by internal thought all the time. That has its place, but some things I want to 'see' evolve. You actually handled this very well in A Soldier's Family. I could see their angst, feel it, but you progressed them forward without offering a silent explanation for everything, thereby giving the reader credit for having a brain. I like that. A lot.
So is acquiring the skill for knowing when to explain and when to shut up and let a story evolve a learned art?
And while you're mulling that question, I've brought peach crisp and a fresh carafe of Southern pecan coffee.
To die for.
We can have the barista whip you up a special blend or you can help yourself to the flavored creamers and whipped cream to your left.
Peach crisp.
Grin ... I couldn't come up with that many reasons on or OFF drugs, Cheryl, so I am TOTALLY impressed!! My personal favorite would be: "Show romantic or sexual tension between hero and heroine in romance." Mmmm ... this could very well be the ONLY one I ever use ... :)ReplyDelete
Seriously, you nailed it on all points and some I never thought of. Great job, great post, my friend.
If thats what drugs do to you I want some of them!ReplyDelete
looks like an interesting list.
Hi Cheryl, What a great list. I've heard Margaret talk and have heard the premise, but you just make it clear as day. Thanks.ReplyDelete
I'm with Julie, I love the scenes that build up that tension. And Ruthy, I'll have some of that peach crisp.
Cheryl, you really do come up with great writing tips. You should write a book about writing.
Wow! A nifty check list. (Nerd Girl loves to-do lists)So, each scene should meet several of those criteria.ReplyDelete
I know in my second door-stop novel (the size of a brick) I later read through it and realized many scenes were not moving the plot but rather were "How to Milk a Cow in Five Easy Steps" or "How to Give Riding Lessons ..."
I'm glad I wrote them b/c they portray times in my life that are no more. But they would be better journal entries than novel scenes.
And peach crisp, to boot! May I break out a 5-Quart bucket of vanilla ice cream to share? Breakfast of champions
Good grief, Cheryl! An amazing list! Couldn't add a thing.ReplyDelete
And, um, after the chapters I read in Julie's book last night ... the sexual tension between "just friends" was, um, HOT! Mitch is doomed. Utterly doomed.
Thanks, Cheryl! I just wrote:ReplyDelete
Does This Scene:
1. Move the plot forward?
2. Deepen characterization?
3. Have tension?
and taped it on the wall in front of my work space. Thanks for the great checklist as I revise! And for the great list. If it's not all-inclusive, it should be!
Hey, do you guys know how to find out how Kit Wilkinson is doing? She was a visitor here several times, wasn't she?
Myra, grin, Mitch is NOT doomed ... but then it's all a matter of perspective, I suppose. :)ReplyDelete
Ruthie...I think the reasons in a scene should NOT be flagged. I think it should be so seamless that the readers has no clue the author is striving to have reasons for the scene. I think authors can tend to, like you said, over explain which is insulting to readers. Hopefully we write in such a way that readers are oblivious that we've worked to incorpoprate sound structure our book. Hope this makes sense. And I hate writing and reading long snippets of internal thought. I'm more drawn to action scenes. LOL!ReplyDelete
I think this post would be most beneficial for writers who need help with shoring up a sagging middle or who have weak story structure.
Hopefully the story and characters will so rivet the reader that they have long lost touch with the scene changes anyway. LOL! Before they know it they've turned the last page and wishing there were more.
Yes...I braved a weekend of NASCAR the day after my second surgery in eight days. LOL!
Thank you for your compliments in A Soldier's Family.
I kind of cheated...I polled the ACFW loop for reasons for a scene...so I didn't come up with all those all by myself. LOL!
And yes...definitely there needs to show physical attraction/romantic/sexual attraction in romance...can't believe I left that off! LOL!
Note to self...add it now...
LOL! Ausjenny.ReplyDelete
The post took me four times longer to write and proofread and I still have no idea if it made sense. A couple of parts...I am not even sure what I meant. So hopefully it made sense as I'm laying off the pain meds today. LOL!
Thanks, Sandra! I love hearing Margaret's tips and teaching. She has a wonderful fantabulous character chart on her blog or Web site. At least she did years ago. I use it for character development.ReplyDelete
Almost everything I learned, I learned from seasoned writers. And I'm still learning.
I feel the same about you gals! We should do a Seeker Craft book or something.
Cheryl who is going for a second cup of pecan coffee!
Ann...I have scenes like that too! LOL! Scenes that stagnate the plot. You said it even better than I did!ReplyDelete
Thank you for visiting us today. And for offering your thoughts.
I totally agre....
Julie's heroes are smokin!
Glad the post was helpful.
Kit is a good friend and I've been e-mailing her with no response. I will look for her number today because I am concerned. Please keep her in your prayers.
Wow, thanks for that list. I think I'm going to print it out.ReplyDelete
Right now I've been struggling with my wip, wondering if my scenes have enough purpose. Now I can hold this handy checklist up.
So glad you're through with surgery.
Thank you Jessica! I'm glad you found the list helpful.ReplyDelete
Be sure to search the comments for things I might have missed or forgotten to put on the list.
One thing I wanted to say too was that it might be better to write to the end of the book then go back and make sure your scenes drive the story forward. That way you don't get hung up with editing. Unless you're an edit-as-you-go kind of writer.ReplyDelete
I'm an instinctual writer, which means I write without any conscious thought to structure or craft. Yet when I'm done, my stories always usually (according to our resident structure expert-Camy Tang) have sound structure.
I think this comes from being an avid reader and ESPECIALLY because I am an avid reader of the genre and line I write for.
So, whether you've been published before or not, be sure to read current works from any publishing line you are targeting.
THAT IS A GREAT LIST! Wow. Ok, now I'm going to have to go through my WIP again (**wink**)ReplyDelete
Seriously, that was a really helpful list. THANKS!
I can't believe I haven't gotten over her today utnil now.ReplyDelete
And now I'm overwhelmed with the list and so delighted to see Cheryl here and in action.
Great post
Is it possible for a newbie (yanno, like me!) to get SO hung up on this that it hinders more than helps? I ask because I seem to be asking something along these lines with every paragraph I'm (trying) to write and it feels like I'm choking way more than I'm writing. (ok, so there's no seems to it.)ReplyDelete
Is this something that I can wait until I have the story told to worry about or do I just need to work through the choking?
I know the feeling. LOL! I lose count of how many passes I make through the ms.
Thanks for dropping by!
You could write circles around me. You're probably doing everything on the list and more without even striving to. LOL!
You are amazing.
ABSOLUTELY, YES. YES. YES. It can be overwhelming and stifling to try to remember all the rules when doing your rough draft. It can be so overwhelming, people want to give up. So that's why I ignore everything until I get my mess draft down. I totally turn off my internal editor.
If you are an avid reader, chances are your stories have sound structure.
This list is merely a troubleshooting list for when scenes fall flat or need a boost or aren't moving the plot forward.
If you are what I call an instinct writer or a panster, IGNORE the list. Once you've written your first draft, you can go back and make sure you have reasons for the scene.
My motto is, "Get it written over getting it right." Write outweighs right for first drafts.
With each ms, you'll do these things automatically.
If the rules are hanging you up. Write without thinking about them.
Hugs and God's best to you!
Thank you, Cheryl!ReplyDelete
That was the impression/feeling I was getting as I sat and felt like I was getting a root canal without the comfort of pain killers!
Cheryl, I missed stopping in yesterday. So glad I got here today to read this dynamite post! You gave us a comprehensive list of reasons for a scene! Great job!!!ReplyDelete
Delighted you're back in Seekerville, drugged or not. We missed you!
Great article! Lots of good stuff on this blog. Which is, of course, why I have it bookmarked. :)ReplyDelete

Suzy Evokes Hong Kong Cinema in Yes No Maybe
The time has finally come for JYP to debut Suzy as a soloist. With the future of Miss A in question, Suzys popularity at an all time high, and the success of her duet with Exos Baekhyun last year, it was definitely prime time to invest properly in Suzys musical future. The highly anticipated debut was all the more hyped up with the pre-release Pretend, that instantly dominated music charts. Yes No Maybe retains the raw vulnerability of Pretend, but unlike the understated softness of the latter, Yes No Maybe is a much more mature, and far more cinematic debut.

Welcome to Anara, a world mysteriously crumbling to devastation, where nothing is what it seems: Ancient relics emit technologically advanced powers, members of the old Order are hunted by the governing Watch yet revered by the people, and the great energy that connects all seems to also be destroying all.
The only hope for the world lies in Galen, a man of the old Order and a Keeper of relics, and his 16-year-old apprentice, Raffi. They know of a secret relic with great power that has been hidden for centuries. As they search for it, they will be tested beyond their limits. For there are monsters - some human, some not - that also want the relic's power and will stop at nothing to get it.
©2011 Catherine Fisher (P)2011 Penguin
"This is a GREAT SERIES! Love it all!"
The great plot & story, as well as believable characters. I loved the good ones and hated the bad ones, just as you'd expect.
That's a toughie. But Galen & Raphie were the best, I suppose, although I enjoyed the heroine as well.
No, this is the first one.
Yes, I wanted to, but wasn't able to. But as soon as I finished the first one, I couldn't wait to get on to the next!
LOVE LISTENING TO 'YOUTH' OR 'YOUNG ADULT' books so there's very little languages and rarely any smut. In fact, I will rarely select a story unless I've already read or listened to one of their books before. I am very particular when it comes to that stuff.

The judge asked me two questions and as I was in the middle of answering the second he stopped me and told me that he awarded me my disability. I was so shocked that at first I thought it wasn't so! But my lawyer placed her hand on my knee and smiled and then I knew that my long fight was over. As I mentioned in my first reply to this thread, I posted about my long journey for my disability on the thread regarding disability. And I was more than happy to give my lawyer her 25% that she so deserved.
Due to my "disability" (migraines) my attorney advised me it was best to have "witnesses" especially my ex-coworkers.
My hearing lasted 2 1/2 hours because the judge was reading my 5 inch medical file & asking me a lot of questions.
The judge asked my atty only one question during the whole 2 1/2 hours.
The VE "talked to the judge a lot".
And the judge spoke to each & every one of my "witnesses" who showed up.
So, I guess it depends on the judge, your disability & probably the hearing procedures of the state.

As an artist, paint brushes can make a world of difference in my creating experience. I will return to specific brushes over and over again because they deliver when needed. I purchased this set of brushes because I had tried this brand before and I wanted to bring my order total amount into the free shipping category--I could not be more pleased with having chosen to do so. The bristles on these brushes are smooth and even; the handles comfortable, identifiable, and durable; and the variety of sizes convenient. Do not hesitate to purchase Royal Langnickel brushes!

Synthetic Brushes for the Vegan Artist
By dont have a nickname
from Scottsville, VA
I paint with oils and acrylics. Mostly acrylics. These brushes are a very good price and good quality. I like the variety of sizes and also the way the brushes work. They are soft but not too soft and so you can paint and dry brush easily.As a vegan artist I am concerned with not using items that have animal biproducts or that have been tested on animals. Synthetic brushes are a good choice because they don't get animals killed and are becoming better and better all the time. They are also least expensive and are of good quality.
Great products!

Málaga Club de Fútbol Official Statement
Málaga Club de Fútbol wishes to express its total disagreement at the decision issued today by UEFA, and considers the intended actions against the Martiricos Club to be completely unjustified. The Club believes they are being made a 'scapegoat' and an 'example of' by UEFA by this unfair treatment.
Given the total and absolute indignation and outrage at the decision, Málaga Club de Fútbol wishes to state they are working tirelessly to ensure justice is done, and will work with all organisations necessary until the situation is resolved. Málaga Club de Fútbol also wishes to add that they cannot comprehend the decision, and cannot understand why they now have to wait for an unspecified time period to find out why this decision was reached.
To give the fans peace of mind, Málaga Club de Fútbol wishes to state that they are continuing with the process of internal restructuring within the Club, which first got underway last summer, to come in line with the Fair Play regulations. Consequently, the agreement between the tax authorities and the Martiricos outfit will be made official, as the funds retained by UEFA have now been released. Furthermore, with the information that has come about regarding unfulfilled obligations by the Club with C.A. Osasuna and Málaga's first team players, Málaga Club de Fútbol stresses that such agreements have now been settled, and the Club requests that any unfounded information which could undermine the Málaga Club de Fútbol name, is to be disregarded.
Nevertheless, despite the obstacles, the owners have come up against since their arrival at Málaga, their support for the project and the Club as a whole is indisputable. Evidence of this is a recent investment of more than seven million euros by owner, Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Thani. Málaga Club de Fútbol deeply regrets having to breach the Club's communications policy, and make public such confidential, internal matters, but as previously stated, they are working around-the-clock and making the necessary decisions to ensure justice is done.
