Mother (50) gets ready for exams . . . and college
CARMEL Murphy has turned the recession to her educational advantage.
The Dubliner (50), who left school at 14, thought her return to full-time education would begin and end when she did the Junior Cert two years ago.
But the mother of three starts the Leaving Cert tomorrow -- and her journey may not be over yet.
Carmel grew up as one of a family of 12 in Crumlin and left school because of financial necessity.
"It was a case of having to get a job and, anyway, education for girls was out of the question," said Carmel, who worked in sewing factories for years.
When Carmel got a community employment-scheme job in a creche, she developed an interest in special needs.
She did some childcare courses, but ultimately learnt that if she wanted to progress, she needed to have the Junior Cert.
As Carmel notched up straight As in the Junior Cert, the recession was hitting and jobs were hard to come by.
"I thought, I am not going to sit around and do nothing, so I started the Leaving Cert," she said.
So, Carmel, who lives in Walkinstown, stayed on at Pearse College, Crumlin.
She is not sure what lies ahead. Working with children with special needs would be her first love, but she is exploring the possibility of going on to third-level eduction, through an access programme run by Trinity College Dublin.

text: This sounds awsome. With or without the zapper. Online will be so much fun! They listened to feedback and hopefully made the game better. I never played the one that is out knows, but heard its bad. http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/...s.html?sid=6174928&tag=recent_updates;title;2 E3 07: Medal of Honor Heroes 2 Wii Zapper Q&A We chat with EA's Peter Choi about Medal of Honor Heroes 2 and Wii Zapper support. By James Yu, GameSpot Posted Jul 13, 2007 8:57 am PT When Nintendo announced the Wii Zapper peripheral during its E3 07 press conference, Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime noted that several developers are working on games to make special use of the Zapper, including EA's upcoming shooter, Medal of Honor Heroes 2. We talked with EA producer Peter Choi over email about the latest Medal of Honor game and how it's working with the new Wii Zapper. GameSpot: Is this a new Medal of Honor game, or a port of a game currently in development for other consoles? Peter Choi: Medal of Honor Heroes 2 is a completely new game designed from the ground up with the Wii and PSP in mind and is not a port of any existing game. Players will take on all-new missions in the single player campaign and enjoy massive, join-anytime multiplayer online battles with 32-players on both the Wii and PSP. Additionally, there's a unique, new mode designed specifically for the Wii to make the game the most accessible shooter to date for all gamers of all skill levels and not just hardcore shooter fans. GS: What features have you added to the game to make it Zapper-friendly? PC: We have an entirely new game mode specifically designed around the Zapper that is incredibly fun to play with. In addition, you can use the Zapper to play the traditional single player campaign and online multiplayer with unique, intuitive controller configurations designed specifically to support gameplay with the Zapper. GS: Does the Zapper offer any distinct gameplay advantages over a traditional Wiimote and Nunchuck setup? PC: I think it's more about preference and experiencing the action of a first-person shooter in a unique way. Playing Medal of Honor Heroes 2 with the Zapper and weapon gestures truly gives players an immersive and interactive, new way to experience WWII combat like never before. GS: Have the developers tweaked the aiming and Wiimote sensitivity options in the new game? PC: We read the feedback from Wii shooter fans and developed this game to address their concerns and to make this game easy to pick up and play for all gamers. The development team has spent a tremendous amount of time to ensure the game's controls and gestures are intuitive, responsive, and satisfying. We also continue to fine tune the controls and we're happy with the results and feedback we've received thus far from those that have played the game. GS: When is the game coming out and are there any plans to bundle the Zapper peripheral with the game? PC: The game will be available this holiday. Potential plans for a Zapper bundle have not been discussed at this point, but we'll keep you updated as we have new information. GS: Thanks, Peter!

Projection is an ability of the witches to manifest their consciousnesses out of their bodies known as Spirit or Astral Projection[1]. Witches commonly use this power to spy-on or converse remotely with others by separating their spirit from their physical body. They are able to project their astral forms using spells that allows them to travel instantaneously to their desired location. Various spells can give different properties to ones astral form to fit their desires such as invisibility or tangibility to affect the physical plane.
More adept users of Projection can even move objects or themselves from one location to another without occupying the space in between; this is known as Teleportation. Powerful witches can use this power to transfer someone or something from one point to another by disappearing and appearing instantly to their desired location. This is also possible when traversing through different dimensions such as going to or from Prison Worlds, in the case of Gemini Witches.
Degrees of Variability
- Spirit Projection: The most basic form of Projection that allows the witch to freely walk about in spirit form. Like ghosts, Spirit Projection allows both intangibility and invisibility.
- Astral Projection: An augmented form of Spirit Projection. Unlike the former, spells of this caliber allow the astral form to be visible, though tangibility is optional.
- Teleportation: An advanced variation of this spell that allows full displacement of the witch's body and consciousness from one location to another, instantaneously. This form of projection seems to not require a spell to achieve or perhaps it is prepared beforehand and activated by thought, such requirements have not been established. To a lesser extend of this spell, objects too can be transported from one location to another.
- Bilocation: A rare and an advanced ability that combines both Astral Projection and Teleportation, that allows the witch to split their consciousness to two tangible bodies thereby allowing either to operate independent of each other. Unlike known accounts of Teleportation, this requires the use of a spell.
Throughout The Vampire Diaries Series
Spirit Projection
In The House Guest, Luka and his father, Jonas Martin, performed a spirit projection spell in order to send Luka's spirit to find and remove the dagger from Elijah. Luka was not powerful enough to perform the spell alone, thus the assistance from his father. As Jonas proceeded with the spell, Luka's spirit was sent over to the Salvatore Boarding House where his spirit form invisible and intangible to those around him. Through his father's instruction and augmentation of the spell, he was able to become tangible in order to remove the dagger, though remained invisible. However, Luka's attempts were thwarted, as Katherine was able to keep the dagger from being removed until Damon arrived with a flamethrower and set Luka's semi-astral body on fire. This immediately rebounded on Luka's physical body, causing his physical body to combust and burn to death. Given Jonas' knowledge of witchcraft, this spell is not quite astral projection but an augmented form of spirit projection as tangibility was granted though he remained invisible.
In The Day I Tried To Live, Malachai Parker manages to send his and the spirits of Elena, Damon and Jeremy to the Prison World, which is supposedly one of the benefits of being the leader of the Gemini Coven, according to Kai. However, the spell was not strong enough and did not allow their spiritual bodies to interact with anyone or anything in the Prison World. Even as leader of the Gemini Coven, the spell was greatly weakening Kai just to keep their spirits present.
Astral Projection
Later in The Day I Tried To Live, without the strain of sending multiple spirits, Kai was briefly able to send Jeremy's astral form into the Prison World, allowing him to physically interact with its belongings, though this was quickly interrupted and lost hold of the spell when he was attacked and severely wounded by Olivia. This shows that more magic is required to reach astral form than it is to maintain a spirit form.
The first instance of teleportation of any kind was shown when Bonnie Bennett was able to teleport a letter to Elena in Rose. The letter caught fire and burst into ashes and appeared by Elena within minutes. Given this advanced spell casting and Bonnie's extensive use of magic in a short amount of time, this spell greatly exhausted Bonnie to the point of falling unconscious. Bonnie would later perform a similar spell in order to transport her magic-infused teddy bear from the 1994 prison world to the mortal plane in Do You Remember the First Time?.Chronologically, the first instance of Human teleportation was revealed in Fade Into You, a flashback of when Joshua Parker, and his coven performed the Prison World Banishment spell on his son, Kai Parker, who had slaughtered his siblings. Forceful banishment required the power of a full coven channeling a celestial event, specifically an eclipse, to teleport Kai from the Mortal Plane into the fabricated Prison World. Though the first actual use of Human (more specifically Spirit) teleportation was performed by Sheila Bennett in Home. As The Other Side was collapsing, she found a way to save Bonnie's life from its destruction. As they were enveloped in a bright light, she along with Damon, who was in physical contact with her by holding hand, they found themselves transported to an alternate dimension, later revealed to be the 1994 prison world. As there is a spell to be transported to the prison world, subsequently, the Prison World Liberation Spell reverses the effects of the banishment/transportation spell. As the name implies, the spell would transport the user from the prison world back to the mortal plane. Bonnie Bennett first performed this spell in order to successfully teleport Damon back to the mortal plane in The World Has Turned and Left Me Here. Off screen, Kai would perform the same Liberation spell, using Bonnie's blood to free himself. In I Alone, Olivia Parker performed the 1994 Transportation spell to send Elena and Damon to the prison world, using Lucy Bennett's blood, in order to go in and retrieve Bonnie, who lacked her own magic in order to free herself. Though due to Kai's escape and attack on Liv, she was forced to teleport them back early without Bonnie. In Let Her Go, it was revealed that there was a second prison world and with the near death of the Gemini Coven's leader, Bonnie was forcefully transported between worlds.With the stabilization of the leader's health, she was able to perform the liberation spell for a final time to free herself. It In A Bird in a Gilded Cage, she and Kai would transport themselves, Damon and Elena to the 1903 prison world to free Damon's mother Lily Salvatore. While separated, Bonnie sought revenge on Kai for the punishment he put her thorugh while trapped together in the 1994 prison world. She attacked him and nearly killed him, though as the new leader of the coven and having the magic from two of his siblings, he was able to teleport from her final attack. Not being able to kill him, she later performed the 1903 Liberation spell solo to free herself, Damon, Elena and Lily while leaving Kai behind, seemingly with no way to escape. In I'll Wed You in the Golden Summertime, it was revealed that Kai, using Qetsiyah's blood from Silas' tombstone, was able to perform the same spell to teleport himself and the Heretics back to the mortal plane.
Throughout The Originals Series
Spirit Projection
In Dead Angels, Davina performs a simple spirit projection spell, allowing her to project her spiritual body to the Mikaelson Compound, where she remained invisible and intangible to everyone else, while listening in on their conversation.
Astral Projection
In Gonna Set Your Flag On Fire, Rebekah (while possessing Eva Sinclair's body) who was recently trapped in the Asylum for witches is visited by a mysterious woman, later revealed to be Freya. It is also revealed that it was in fact her astral body wandering around while her physical body was asleep due to the immortality slumber spell cast by Dahlia.
In For the Next Millennium, Freya teleports her astral body from the bar over to the Bayou at Elijah's request to watch over Hope while he handled the issue concerning the wolves and searching for Hayley. Though intoxicated she was able to perform the spell with relative ease. In You Hung the Moon, she has returned to the bar scene and relinquished Hope back into Elijah's care.
In Beautiful Mistake, Freya performs several astral projection spells yet again. Firstly, she projects her astral body over to Morocco where Rebekah was currently staying at. Following this, she performs the same spell again, only this time she also brings Elijah's spirit over to Morocco with their physical bodies maintaining physical contact during the spell. Her astral projection spell while granting her intangibility also allowed Freya to use her magic, though the connection was later disrupted by an unknown Moroccan witch working for the Strix, which forcibly sent Freya's spirit back to her body in New Orleans.
Similarly to Bonnie's use, Genevieve was shown to have used a similar spell to teleport a newspaper article clipping about Klaus to Mikael in Long Way Back From Hell. Rebekah wanted to be free to love Marcel and be out from under Klaus' rule and Genevieve complied. Genevieve also reveals that objects teleported from one location to another can not be magically brought back in the same manner when Rebekah plead for her to 'undo' the spell.
Although similar to the methods used by Genevieve and Bonnie, Freya was also able to send a letter to her sister Rebekah, without the need for the letter to catch fire in For the Next Millennium. She would attempt another message spell to Rebekah in Beautiful Mistake, though the spell failed due to the death of the vessel she was inhabiting.
Dahlia had shown a mastery over teleportation having used it repeatedly in Night Has A Thousand Eyes. She was able to simultaneously appear and disappear within a matter of seconds simultaneously without the need of a spell or verbal action of any kind. This though does not exclude the possibility of her preparing the spell ahead of time or whether or not the action was astral projection; it remains unclear.
In The Map of Moments, Esther couples both an astral projection and teleportation spell, allowing her to project her astral body in the Bayou despite her physical body being in the City of the Dead's Lycée. She performs this spell in order to contact Mikael and make a deal with him, though without risking her safe-being due to his anger that she brought Klaus' father Ansel from the Other Side while leaving Mikael there. She utilized an unknown dark object, a beaded necklace to perform the spell.
- The first instance of Projection in The Vampire Diaries was demonstrated by Bonnie Bennett, using Teleportation by sending Elena a letter, a feat that greatly exhausted her magic at the time given her inexperience and lack of power.
- Luka Martin (with his father, Jonas Martin) is the first witch, in general to use spirit projection, with Malachai Parker being the second.
- Esther Mikaelson is the first witch in The Originals universe to use Projection, and the only witch to specifically use Bilocation.
- Esther's Sister, Dahlia was the second, using Teleportation.
- Following in her mother's footsteps, Freya Mikaelson was the third, using Astral Projection.
- Freya is the first witch shown to be able to use her magic while teleported in her Astral body. This has never been established until now.
- The Astral Plane is set on the actual dimension similar to the Other Side. However, while beings cannot be seen, they can still interact with physical objects.
- This is unless astral bodies are drawn to artificially constructed locations on the astral plane through magic like the Chambre de Chasse.
- Unlike the spirit, ones astral form takes on the appearance of the body they inhabit, this includes bodies they are currently possessing.
- Teleportation is one of the rarest forms of Projection, having been shown to be used by only a handful of witches, all of whom are noted to be very powerful.
- Dahlia is the first witch to be seen using actual teleportation on oneself in the The Originals. **Whether or not Freya being the second, is disputed though a deleted scene would suggest that it was astral projection[2].
- The Gemini Coven leader, Malachai Parker demonstrated this ability once, following The Merge with his younger brother, Lucas Parker, as when he teleported from Bonnie who was trying to kill him in the Prison World.
- With the Ascendant and the blood of a Bennett witch, as well as a celestial event, a witch can teleport themselves (and others) from the Mortal plane to the Prison World, or vice versa. This was thus far performed by Bonnie Bennett, Malachai Parker and Olivia Parker.
- Though spirits can traverse from the mortal plane to the Other Side, or the Ancestral Plane, in reference to Ancestral Witches, death typically facilitates this occurrence. Spells can also deliberately cause the user to travel to these realms, though again, death, though temporary, is usually involved. The context here refers Teleportation as the movement of the living and not a deceased person, who's spirit has moved on from the body.

We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Backgrounds'.
We use ad-blockers as well, you know. We gotta keep those servers running though. Did you know that we publish useful books and run friendly conferences — crafted for pros like yourself? E.g. our upcoming SmashingConf London, dedicated to all things web performance.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Backgrounds'.
Since its early days, video has been one of the most powerful and efficient tools of visual communication. It is able to deliver a direct and clear message to a broad audience as well as focus viewers on something particular. A visually appealing video is an excellent way to present a product, service or brand and take user experience to a much more interactive level. For this reason, elegant, creative and professional videos are becoming increasingly popular in Web design today.
Some designers go even further, creating Bluray-like experience in the browser, with interactive navigation menus, soft transitions and exceptional visual effects — all supported with background videos. This can be done with Flash or HTML5, however, most websites incorporate background videos using only Flash. To enable the rich cross-device experience, it is worth considering adding fallback-videos for those users who have a browser that does not support Flash. Nevertheless, we didn't want to go into technical details just yet and wanted to see what actual approaches designers take within their websites.Read more...
Smashing Magazine has been on Twitter for about a year now (@smashingmag), and it turned out to be a great medium to communicate with our audience, build connections, discuss design-related topics and give away some nice prizes. However, even a year later, we still don't have a Twitter background page and now is a good time to change that. So because we decided to create our own Twitter page, we wanted to first find out how other designers do it and what tips and techniques they use to create a truly outstanding, beautiful Twitter page.
Your profile page is the only place on Twitter where you get opportunity to showcase your visual brand and possibly communicate additional information that can last longer than a tweet. You can customize your profile page by changing background, text and link colors. It's as simple as changing the skin, but ability to change background image has allowed designers to create really unique profile pages.
Primary focus of this article is to explore various techniques to create unique, memorable and effective Twitter profile pages. However, before proceeding to the list, it is important to briefly discuss the structure of the Twitter profile page.Read more...
Backgrounds are a core part of CSS. They are one of the fundamentals that you simply need to know. In this article, we will cover the basics of using CSS backgrounds, including properties such as
background-attachment. We'll show some common tricks that can be done with the background as well as what's in store for backgrounds in CSS 3 (including four new background properties!).
We have five main background properties to use in CSS 2. They are as follows: background-color, background-image, background-position, background-repeat and background-attachment. These properties can all be merged into one short-hand property:
background. One important thing to note is that the background accounts for the contents of the element, including the padding and border. It does not include an element's margin. This works as it should in Firefox, Safari and Opera, and now in IE8. But in IE7 and IE6 the background does not include the border, as illustrated below.
Web design has come a long way since its beginning, especially in terms of styling. Take a look at a website from 10 years ago and compare it to one from today. The differences are enormous. One of the major changes you will notice is the background. Today, backgrounds are one of the core features that determine how visually interesting a website is.
The background holds the theme of the website, and there are a vast amount of possibilities when designing a website background. This article goes over the best practices and popular trends of backgrounds in the current stage of innovative Web design.
You may also be interested in the following related posts:Read more...
Textures and patterns are used more often than one may think. The reason why we don't see them is because they usually remain in the background, supporting the overall design, replacing a standard background color and creating a more inviting atmosphere. But they almost never stand out. Used primarily for background images, they need to fit to the overall design making the content easier to perceive. In fact, wood textures seem to have become so popular that designers suggest that wood is the new glossy style and wood is the new white.
Well, we don't think that wood is a new revolutionary trend — after all, it was used and explored for years. However, since wood isn't used everywhere — in correct and wrong contexts — experimenting with it makes perfectly sense. Still, there are a number of options beyond wood: e.g. fabric patterns, tiles, ground, stone, walls, bricks, stiches, cardboard, ceramics, decay, rust, old tapes, illustrations, plastic and glass.
In this post we present a showcase of sites using textures and patterns— we want to focus designer's attention on design options available beyond wood. Reason: we strongly believe that vibrant, realistic background images are becoming a new trend. If it sounds familiar to you, you are absolutely right: we've seen the same trend 8-10 years ago. The sources for the background images are usually either photos (e.g. you can download free textures in the Smashing Texture Library) or illustrations created with Photoshop, Illustration etc.

An Abundance of Katherines
This book was written by John Green... and that means it has to be good. After I read The Fault in Our Stars at school, I decided that John Green has to be a good author and my mum got me An Abundance of Katherines for my birthday.
It is about Colin, a pretty smart guy who has dated 19 girls called Katherine, and his best friend Hassan who go on a road trip in order to help Colin to get over the last Katherine. She dumped him and so did all the other Katherines. They end up in a little village called Gutshot in the middle of nowhere, and meet Lindsey. Her mom offers them a job and Hassan and Collin stay there over summer. Colin tries to work out a theorem for love, that predicts the way a relationship goes, assuming that there are two types of people in this world: Dumpers and dumpees. Apart from that they get to meet Lindeys friends, amongst them TOC (the other Colin) and it is a really funny encounter.
Well I could go on talking about the book but I'd probably tell you the whole story.
I really like the book. John Green writes funny and especially the footnotes are entertaining as Collin speaks 11 langauges fluently and him and Hassan love to insult each other in either Arabic or German (my mother tounge - I especially love how he says Sitzpinkler). And even if you hate maths, the book is good. His theorem is explained and most of the book is not even about it so don't worry. Definetly a must read!

Over 70% of the adolescent and young adult
population in the Western world is affected by acne, a chronic
but not life-threatening skin disease. It has the potential
to cause scars and significant disfigurement. This condition
also leaves visible scars behind that can lead to psychological
issues for a young individual, aggravating the common psychosocial
problems in these times of a person's life. The number
of studies made on acne has been inadequate, resulting in myths
and home-spun remedies that are often fraught with danger. Acne,
therefore, demands serious attention.
Acne shows up mainly as lesions on the face, neck, back, and
shoulder. Comedones are the primary lesions in acne, which are
non-inflammatory. When comedones burst the follicular walls,
however, they become inflammatory lesions called papules and
pustules. These inflammatory lesions have the potential to leave
behind scars.
Types of Acne
To arrive at appropriate treatment, acne must first be classified
to mild, moderate and severe based on the number and distribution
of various types of acne spots. Mild acne would consist of mostly
non-inflammatory comedones, while moderate acne would have comedones,
pustules, and papules. Sever acne on the other hand would consist
entirely of inflamed lesions.
Causes of Acne
Although the exact causes of acne are not well known, at least
two agents playing the leading roles in its development are
certain. These are the sebum, a fluid secreted by sebaceous
glands in the skin, and the body hormone androgen.
Excess sebum secretion resulting from excess androgen stimulation
is thought to be the cause of acne - this has been shown in
several studies. The treatment of acne, therefore, should aim
to reduce the influence of androgen in various ways. Although
there is no dispute over the role of androgen in the formation
of acne, not much is known about factors leading to its excess
production. Acne treatment today remains rather underdeveloped.
Treatment of Acne
Retinoids, antibiotics, antimicrobials and sulfur or its compounds,
in oral as well as topical forms, are the most common acne treatments
Retinoids: Mild acne is commonly treated with retinoid. With
its anti-inflammatory action, it can also be used for inflamed
lesions. Tretinoin, adapalene, and isotretinoin are the common
drugs used which come in both cream and gel form. The more severe
types of acne is treated with oral isotretionoin, the most effective
for these types of acne.
Antibiotics: To effectively reduce inflamed acne, topical antibiotics
like clindamycin and erythromycin is applied. In cases in which
scarring or hyperpigmentation is expected, oral antibiotics
tetracycline, doxycyline, and minocycline are prescribed as
systemic treatments. However, with the significant increase
in bacterial resistance, the efficiency of antibiotics is restricted.
Antibiotics are not used with antimicrobials to combat bacteria,
and are withdrawn once the inflammation is cleared.
Antimicrobials: The most commonly utilized antimicrobials are
benzoyl and azelaic acid. Their anti inflammatory and anti-comedogenic
actions are useful against mild and moderate acne. They are
more effective and better tolerated when combined with antibiotics.
Mild side effects are limited to skin irritation and erythema.
Sulfur: The use of sulfur as acne treatment has declined due
to the emergence of other formulations, although this has been
the premier traditional treatment in the past. It has few mild
and short-lived side effects and is well absorbed. Sulfur today
remains a viable option for acne treatment.
Although much is known about acne now, much still remains to
be understood, particularly regarding its pathogenesis. However,
acne scars and disfigurement are easily rectified with available
treatments today. The future of effective acne therapy is more
targeted because of the level of knowledge now available.

GTO cheaper in US
I want to know why I live in Australia and have to pay $60,000 to buy a GTO Monaro, but if I lived in America I would only have to pay $US33,000 ($A42,000).
Why is this when the cars are locally manufactured?
Adam Smith, Enoggera, Brisbane
Holden's answer: The Australian dollar has strengthened from 55 cents to the US dollar in 2002 to around 77 cents. Pricing and marketing of the GTO in the US is set by Pontiac and GM. The GTO Coupe had to fit into the full Pontiac range in terms of pricing. Also, last year we exported about 16,300 GTOs to the US. In Australia we sold about 2600. From a market perspective, the GTO in the US is sold at mass market volumes. The Monaro in Australia is niche volume.
Flaws in fuel figures
With the high price of fuel, it is important to check one's fuel consumption. My method is fairly archaic: I convert back to miles per gallon.
How do you arrive at your city cycle figures? It would be helpful to know what the car tested achieved in city running and what it did in the country. Fuel consumption figures should be concise: auto transmission, air-conditioning on, temperature outside. Government figures are a joke. I have a mint 78,000 km 1996 Camry Vienta automatic. Fuel figures last week were 21 mpg or 13.4 L/100 km in the city. This week it was 25.7 mpg or 11 L/100 km average for city and country.
Yes, the dealer looked at it. His answer: Use it more on long trips.
Kevin Dickson, Mooroolbark
Pity the backseat prisoners
For 100 years the car industry, like others, has told stupid lies about its products. A few examples: brakes were always "powerful" in an era of murderously fade-prone drums; parking was "a doddle" when cars had no power steering; handling was "exceptional" in half a century of rigid rear axles and cart springs; east-west engines created much more interior space; and the classic: the average small/medium car offers "real comfort for five".
While technical progress in the first four of these examples has finally made the makers honest, there has been pathetically little progress in interior packaging. Rear seat passengers, with rare exceptions, are still imprisoned with their knees hard against front seats and their feet wedged under them.
Designers and bean-counters appear to have little conscience about their marketing departments continuing to perpetuate the myth that rear passengers are wonderfully provided for.
Visualise the addition of around 100 mm (4 inches) or more to rear leg room in a Focus, Astra or Golf, for example.
Sure, wheelbase, overall length and cost would need to increase and designers would have to confront the new aesthetic problems of the car's shape. But so what? Stretched compact cars would offer other benefits mechanically unattainable in short wheelbase versions, such as reduced pitching and a generally smoother ride.
Peter Lyell, Brighton
Safe and sorry
Regarding "crash tests not for dummies" (Drive, 23/3) and the industry spin doctors' gobbledegook: the correct term is "low-speed crash tests". Airbags are a safety item, but the tests are designed so they pass. Add 10 km/h and the results would probably be different.
Having packed cars to the limit, the next silver bullet is coming: "active safety systems". What about ABS? Why has it been ignored for years in safety scoring? Probably because it was too hard. How do you rate a simulated crash that was avoided? Don't bother when you can fill your time rating extra airbags.
Finally, the gem: "NCAP standards are generally higher than . . . ADRs." How do they know? Did someone in authority look at the ADR manual in the last 20 years? Bet he/she put it quickly back under the wobbly table leg.
Don Hampshire, Sunbury
A question of speed
Many letters have been written on the subject of speed limits and the Victorian "zero tolerance" approach to enforcement.
Yet I have seen nothing on the vital question of how accurately a driver can maintain a given speed. To put it another way: how much below the speed limit should one drive in order to be reasonably certain not to exceed it?
A car engine experiences a continually changing load with changes in road surface and gradient, wind speed, direction and so on. To counteract this, the driver reacts with changes of pressure on the accelerator, while monitoring the effect via the speedometer. I would guess that under good conditions the average driver can maintain a target speed within about 5 km/h, possibly better.
But what about in bad conditions? How accurately can we drive when the kids are squabbling in the back, the (hands-free) phone is ringing, the traffic is chaotic, and we are stressed and tired? It would not surprise me if the error then was more like 10 km/h.
Come on, you researchers, how slowly must one drive to avoid being pinged for inadvertently creeping above the limit?
Keith Heale, Glen Iris
New plan for Mitsubishi
If Mitsubishi Australia is going to survive long term it will need a long-wheelbase car. As the Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan is part-owned by DaimlerChrysler, they could help out the Australian operation with one of its Chrysler products.
A new Mitsubishi long-wheelbase car could be based on a Commodore-size Chrysler and may have great export potential in the Middle East, Asia and possibly Africa.
The car could be known as the Mitsubishi Valiant for the Australian and New Zealand markets and Chrysler for the Middle East and Asia.
Malcolm Webster, Ferntree Gully
Editor's note: Mitsubishi has a new large sedan in development, codenamed the PS41, which is based on the US Mitsubishi Galant. It's due to go on sale in six months' time.
Reaching cruising attitude
So there are drivers "who permanently set their cruise controls at, or just below, 100 km/h and sit in the right-hand lane" on freeways (oblivious to drivers behind them until a monster truck looms).
Now how could they be so selfish? Adhering to the law in such a ridiculous manner.
People with attitudes like William Chow's (Your Say, 23/3) suggests he's searching for some way to compensate for a lack of size.
Oh dear.
Jason den Hollander, North Balwyn

Can I race with a friend?

Our fulfilment company will match your details and place you in the same wave.
Is there a cancellation/waiting list?
Please note that we don't operate a reserve/cancellation list as we already take into account the usual drop-out rate prior to the event.
Why do I have to register on Friday or Saturday of event weekend?
The registration process confirms that the same person who entered online is the person participating and that they have their event numbers and timing chip for the event, as well as the latest information of the route conditions.
How do I know if I have been accepted into the race?
Please note that only when you have received a confirmation email from us and have been charged the entry fee can you be sure you have entered the event. Please ensure that you provide us with the correct spelling of your email address upon your application and add 'firstname.lastname@example.com' and 'firstname.lastname@example.com' to your address book.
Can I turn up on the day and ride the route?
The event is restricted to those who have entered the event in advance and we do not accept entry on the day. Roads are officially closed and prohibit all vehicular traffic including cyclists not participating in The Marie Curie Etape Caledonia and bearing race accreditation. The route is marshalled and cyclists without official race accreditation will be refused entry on to the route.
Can I change my personal and race details?
Our registration platform, Active Network, creates a profile for all participants. This enables you to view all of the events you have registered for on Active, both past and present. You can access this by visiting myevents.active.com.
Once there you can make any relevant changes to your personal details and the event registration from. All changes must be made prior to the our first set of participant data beings end to our fulfilment company, 6 weeks prior to the event weekend.
Can I transfer my place?
As per the withdrawal policy you can transfer your place to another race category subject to availability. If you are unable to participate and it is more than 42 days out from the event, you can transfer your place to another participant for a fee of £10.
In order to make any changes to your entry please login in to myevents.active.com.
I am unable to race. What are my options?
If you are unable to race and need to withdraw from the event, you have three options:
• 14 days from the day of purchase:
Participants are legally allowed to withdraw from the event and receive a full refund.
• More than 6 weeks (42 days) out from the event day:
Participants are able to transfer their place to another participant providing they pay a £10 transfer fee through myevents.active.com.
• Less than 6 weeks (42 days) from the event day:
Place is lost and it is not possible to transfer to another person.
The following extenuating circumstances (based on supplying sufficient documentation) would enable participants to withdraw less than 6 weeks out from the event.
– Illness: injury is common practice but illness can be out of the competitor hands – visit your doctor prior to the event if you are unwell and unsure as to whether you can participate.
– Pregnant women: unless advised by a doctor they are offered a transfer to the following year's event if they are in their third trimester, or can transfer their place to someone else.
– Service men and women: if they are being deployed overseas during the event period.
How will the starts be organised?
The first wave will set off at approximately 6.30am. When you book your place, you will be asked to provide an estimated time of how long you think it will take you to finish the ride. Please pick an appropriate and accurate time frame. The earlier starts will be reserved for entrants who can demonstrate their cycling ability through results in a select number of cycle events. Any competitor who has not participated in cycling events before will be placed in a general category.
Do I need to bring anything with me on race day?
You will need to make sure that you bring your bike, helmet, race numbers and timing chip (which will need to be collected during registration) and as the weather in Pitlochry and the surrounding area is very interchangeable, we strongly recommend that you check the weather forecast and bring the appropriate clothing. Along with this be sure to bring energy supplies to get you through the course.
Our nutrition partner Etixx will be in attendance at the event village throughout registration where you can pick up additional energy and hydration supplies at discounted rates. You may also find it useful to bring something to attach your race numbers with, for example safety pins or a race belt.
Why is there a cut off time?
In order to secure the support of local residents and businesses, we must ensure that roads are re-opened at pre-agreed times. An average of 13mph is the slowest possible speed cyclists can travel at to be within this road re-opening schedule. It is felt that this is a reasonable period to allow cyclists to complete the course. After the cut off time cyclists will be allowed to continue on the route but will have to obey normal traffic regulations and negotiate the traffic that will then be on the road. Participants who choose to continue will be outside of the event support infrastructure. A sweep vehicle will be available to collect participants who choose not to complete the full course.
What happens if I feel unwell whilst cycling?
See your GP if you have a problem that makes it a risk to take part in the cycle event. If you have any known medical condition (such as diabetes, asthma, allergy to penicillin, etc) inform us prior to the event by entering it in the box provided on the online application.
In addition, please write all medical details on the back of your event number and put a small indelible red cross on the front of your number. Whether you have a medical condition or not, if you feel unwell on the event day – don't take part. If you have flu, a feverish cold or a tummy bug, do not train until you have fully recovered. Then start gently and build up gradually. Do not attempt to catch up on lost mileage after illness or injury – this may cause further damage or illness.
Can I listen to my portable music player during the event?
No, listening to portable music players on route is not permitted for participants' safety reasons.
What do I do with my timing chip?
In order for us to record your race time correctly you will need to attach your race number, which has the timing chip attached to it, to the handlebars of your bike for the duration of the event. The timing chips are disposable so you can take them away with you after the event. Visit the Help Desk in the Event Village for assistance or to see diagrams of where to put your race chip.
How will I know my finishing time?
All results will be available in the 'Post Event' section of the Competitor Zone (coming soon to our new website) after the event. Additionally, if you have provided us with your mobile number upon your application, you will also receive a text message with your result.
Where does the event start/finish?
Pitlochry in Highland Perthshire will host the start and finish of the event. The route will take in Lochs Tummel and Rannoch in the areas of Atholl and Breadalbane.
Will there be water/food on the course?
There will be water and feed stations available throughout the course. Energy products and bananas will be available at feed stations, along with a limited supply of high-energy snacks. There will also be food and drink provided at the finish. Riders are expected to bring their own for the start.
What sort of bike can I use?
Bikes which are not of standard design must be approved by the organisers before the event. The organisers reserve the right to withdraw a participant from the event if their bike is considered, in the organiser's opinion, to represent a danger to the cyclist or other participants. Please note that fixed wheel bikes (bikes that use the pedals as a brake) are not permitted.
What handlebars can I have on my bike?
You are not permitted to have unconventional handlebars including triathlon bars, aero bars, clip-ons, prayer bars, Spinaci bars and cow bars. However, MTB bar ends are permitted on mountain bikes.
Do I have to wear a helmet?
Consistent with all world class sportives, participants must wear protective headgear which must be of a hard/soft construction and conform to a recognised standard such as EN1078, ANSI Z90.4, SNELL B90 or equivalent national standard. Participants are responsible for carefully selecting the correct headgear, ensuring it is in good condition and is fitted correctly. Please note: The British Kite Mark is not sufficient.
Is there an official meeting point?
No, however it is advisable to agree on one with your family/friends before the event.
How much of the entry fee goes to Marie Curie?
Entry fees enable The Marie Curie Etape Caledonia to take place and pay for all the administrative and operational costs necessary to stage the event. Although none of the general entry fee goes directly to Marie Curie, we reserve a significant number of heavily discounted entries for Marie Curie charity riders, which in turn gives riders a platform to raise funds for the charity. This is common practise with charities across Mass Participation events and we are proud to say that we are in the fifth year of our relationship with Marie Curie, during which they have raised over £1.3million directly as a result of Etape Caledonia. We congratulate Marie Curie, along with all the riders who have participated in the Etape Caledonia on their behalf, on this incredible achievement.
When will I receive my race pack?
All participants are required to collect their Race Packs from the Event Village in the centre of Pitlochry, which will be signposted clearly, prior to the event on Friday 19th or Saturday 20th May. Participants cannot collect race packs on event day.
Please bring a valid photo ID with you or a signed photocopy and a letter of authorisation if you are collecting it on someone else's behalf.
Is there parking available?
Car parking will be available in Pitlochry on Saturday and Sunday of event weekend. Please note that parking is available on a first come, first served basis. As it is extremely popular we urge you to book in advance to avoid disappointment. If you do choose to pay on the day, please make sure you have the correct change to do so. We highly advise you arrive as early as possible to avoid queuing.
Road closures and parking suspensions occur in Pitlochry and surrounding areas as a result of the event taking place. Please note, Police and Traffic Wardens will patrol the parking suspensions throughout the event and vehicles parked illegally will be ticketed. If participants intend to drive to the event they must park in the event car park, clearly signposted when you arrive in Pitlochry.
I am not receiving e-newsletters and email communication?
There may be several reasons for this. Firstly, please ensure that you are entered correctly into the event by following the instructions outlined above. Secondly, emails can often get directed straight into junk/spam folders or get rejected by email servers altogether. Please ensure that you check those filters and additionally add 'email@example.com' and 'firstname.lastname@example.com' to your safe senders list – learn how.
Who do I contact for lost property?
Please visit the Help Desk on the day of the event. Alternatively, you can call us on 0208 233 5900 between 12pm – 2pm Monday to Thursday or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with a detailed description of your lost item(s).
Will I receive anything before the event?
You will receive a number of e-newsletters and regular updates in the lead up to the event. Your Race Packs will be available for collection at Race Registration before the event.
Where can I dispose of my rubbish?
There will be clearly signed 'Litter Zones' at a number of locations around the route where cyclists can dispose of any rubbish while on the move. Those seen littering outside of these zones will have their timing chip removed and will be disqualified from the event.
How will the road be closed?
The Marie Curie Etape Caledonia is going to close all access roads onto the route in advance of the first cyclists, using cones, barriers and traffic management personnel, supplemented by motor cycle marshals and will comply with current legislation regarding cycling on the highway. This will create a traffic free environment for the entire event, subject to participants being able to maintain the minimum average speed of 13mph. This is NOT what is called a rolling road closure where motorcycles travel ahead of the event and stop traffic that is already on the route for a short period of time to allow participants past. Given the length of the closure this would be impractical and inconvenient for road users. If you are a local resident with further queries relating to specific closures, please contact our Customer Services team on 'firstname.lastname@example.com.'

5 Free Things to Do in Perth
Just about every holiday has a budget that you need to work within. Adding in some of the free holiday activities that you can do in Perth can help you work within your budget. Perth and its surrounds in Western Australia have some pretty amazing free things to do that you will really enhance your holiday without breaking the bank. Perth is surrounded by a great mix of metropolitan lifestyle in the city with the nearby beaches to the west, wine vineyards to the south, and forested National Parks to the east. Here are 5 great things to do in Perth and surrounds that you can plan on for your next holiday:
Free Walking Tours of the City
Volunteer guides offer themed walks of Perth Monday through Friday. Tours include the city's parks and gardens, arts and culture, convicts and colonials, icons of influence, or learn about Perth's history in the gold rush era. Since these are free tours, feel free to join or leave at your leisure. The tours can take up to two hours long. If you like to be more independent, you can even download free audio tours and maps and go it on your own. The free i-City walking tours start at the Information Kiosk in Murray Street Mall. See Perth.wa.gov.au for more details.
Cottesloe Beach
Cottesloe Beach is one of 19 beautiful white sand beaches just minutes away from Perth's city centre. Spend a relaxing day on the beach with a picnic lunch waiting for the magnificent Indian Ocean sunset or stay active surfing snorkeling or swimming. Cottesloe comes alive at night with plenty of bars and beach side cafes to dine at.
Kings Park and Botanic Garden
Perth has many different parks and gardens within the city. It is also home to the largest inner city park in the Southern Hemisphere, Kings Park and Botanic Garden. Picnic in the park, walk the trails, and make a day or at least an afternoon exploring the park. The flowers and plants in the park represent a large portion of Western Australia's biodiversity with over 3,000 flowering plants, 319 species of native plants, and a 750 year old Boab Tree; most of the park is natural bushland. Because it is perched high on Mount Eliza, the park offers magnificent views of the Swan River, the city skylines, the state War Memorial, and the Darling Range off in the distance to the east. The wild flowers bloom all year, but they are especially spectacular during the winter. The free barbecue and picnic facilities allow you to include a low cost lunch or picnic in your day here. Families enjoy the time here too because of the free playgrounds available for the kids. There is also an outdoor cinema that shows movies December through March.
Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate Tastings in the Swan Valley
The Swan Valley is just a 20 minute drive to the east of Perth. Almost immediately, you will realize that, although a short drive away, the Swan Valley is very far from the city. There are many things you can do in the Swan Valley and the nearby Darling Range mountains; in fact, you can spend a whole holiday there. However, if you are just making a day trip and want to do something for free, visit the vineyards in the oldest wine region in Western Australia. Many of the businesses here are still owned by the descendants of early European settlers. Most offer free wine tastings and samples of the local cheese, chocolates, and other culinary delights.
Walk the Bibbulmun Track
Take a drive to the Perth Hills, just about 30 minutes east of Perth. The Perth Hills is home to one of the longest walking tracks in the world, The Bibbulmun Track. This famous walking trail runs from Kalamunda, in the Perth Hills to the historic town of Albany on the south coast. It covers over 1,000 kilometres in the scenic south west of Western Australia. The views and the experience is an amazing, once in a lifetime journey and just one of the many things you can do for Free in Perth and Western Australia.
SummaryWe hope these ideas have helped you plan an enjoyable adventure in Perth, Western Australia. Whether you are on a very tight budget for your holiday or just adding in some free additions to meet a bigger budget, these are excellent ideas for having fun in Perth for free. Opting for a Budget rental car is the best option for getting around Perth. The variety of free options is quite amazing, we hope you enjoy and your wallet both enjoy your journeys!

text: The scale problem (numbers to the right of the decimal) is easy to fix. However, getting "NUMBER" to not be mapped to "DECIMAL" is a harder problem. The Oracle JDBC driver doesn't distinguish between the two when reporting metadata. For example, if you create both tables (one with NUMBER and one with DECIMAL), and look at the "columns" tab in SQuirreL, you should notice that the value of "DATA_TYPE" is 3, which in Java JDBC maps to java.sql.Types.DECIMAL. Java does support a "NUMERIC" type which has a "DATA_TYPE" value of 2 - but the Oracle driver doesn't report this. So that would be a bug report against the Oracle JDBC driver.

Sometimes the only difference between a good day and a bad day are the lies you tell yourself about it.
I want to be known as a husband to Lauralea. A dad to my kids, papa to my grandchildren and just a guy who followed Jesus.
I've been helping churches get healthier for a long time, and usually that's about praying and staying a long time in the same place.
Oh and yes, I am a ham. VE6VOR.

Once again, the San Jose Earthquakes and the Metro San Jose Police Activities League (PAL) will make a difference for young soccer players in the Bay Area. The team announced on Thursday that Metro San Jose Police Activities League has agreed to re-join the Earthquakes as a Student of the Game partner.
Metro PAL is the Quakes first and oldest Student of the Game partner, joining the program in 2002 and opting to renew its membership for a fourth exciting season, as the 1,500-2,000 soccer players in Metro PAL will each receive one ticket to an Earthquakes regular season game at Spartan Stadium, as well as the numerous other benefits that the program provides.
"We are honored to announce our continued relationship with the Police Activities League," Earthquakes President & General Manager Alexi Lalas said. "This is an organization that represents everything we hope for from our Student of the Game partners. They are committed to supporting youth soccer in our community and recognize the value of an association with the San Jose Earthquakes."
The Earthquakes Student of the Game program was established in 2002 to provide Bay Area youth soccer leagues with an education-based curriculum that will further enhance youth players, coaches and parents soccer knowledge and appreciation for the game. The Earthquakes program motivates and educates by providing partner leagues with exclusive access to the Quakes coaches and players through coaching clinics and appearances, among other benefits.
The San Jose Metro PAL will once again take advantage of those benefits in 2005. Metro PAL consists of children ranging from elementary school to high school age in Santa Clara County, Milpitas, Willow Glen, Cambria and Rose Garden. San Jose Metro PAL Director Officer Vince Williams and Chairman of the Board Brian Jarvis, once again worked on the successful partnership that is highlighted by a Metro PAL night at a future Earthquakes game, with players appearing in a pre-game "Parade of Champions" on the field at Spartan Stadium.
In addition to a league night and pre-game "Parade of Champions", Student of the Game partner leagues are also able to take advantage of programs such as a special behind the scenes coaching clinic with Quakes and other MLS coaches at an Earthquakes home game in addition to on-site coaches clinics, player appearances, an Alexi Lalas appearance and an exclusive advanced level coaching event for their clubs. Partner leagues receive a newsletter with training tips for players; the ability to purchase uniforms and equipment at reduced rates, discounts on Quakes tickets as well as other fundraising and sponsorship options.
PAL is a nonprofit organization founded over 30 years ago by a group of police officers, spearheaded by San Francisco Police Detective, Charles Ellis. Each California PAL chapter is operated by law enforcement officers and other volunteers, and offers diverse activities from athletic teams to after school tutoring, computer training and educational field trips. The PAL program was founded on the concept that when police and youth work together in a non-confrontational and cooperative manner, the result will be safer communities for both youth and adults alike.

Hosts group in:Santa Barbara, California 93103
"The Third Chapter (age 50-80) is a rich time for reworking our lives to assure we live authentically and with passion, while there's still time. This season is for laying to rest our traumas, regrets and failures, fantasies of what our life was going to be, and looking ourselves squarely in the eye with unbridled truth about who we really are, and who we might yet become. While we may have more time, finances, and wisdom, this chapter can also find us stuck, as anxiety takes the foreground and creativity seems to be a luxury we cannot afford. ."
Gay Clients
"I believe psychotherapy can be a deeply meaningful relational experience and also helpful in practical ways. I specialize in helping individuals and couples sort through difficult emotions, address anxiety or depression, increase well-being, and create more satisfying relationships. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic and interpersonal. I do not believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach, and so I individualize my approach based on clients' needs and preferences. My ideal client is committed to personal growth and motivated for the work that psychotherapy entails."
Gay Clients
""The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are"~ C.G. Jung. Life is about relationships and we know they can sometimes be complicated to navigate. If you are experiencing personal conflict, trauma, or you have experienced significant changes or impactful transitions in your life, I am available to help you navigate those internal dynamics. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and I am currently finishing my Doctorate in Depth-Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria. My emphasis is Psychoanalysis/Jungian Psychology. In addition I hold a board certification as a PTSD-Clinician."

"I have always been attracted to both ends of life's spectrum, birth and death. My work centers around the grief we experience in life, whether over the loss of someone we love, the loss of a relationship, or the loss of dreams of a future we envisioned for ourselves.Our work together is based on a mindful, cognitive behavioral approach, as we gently explore the connection between your emotions and the thoughts behind them. I help you process your grief the way you need to do it and guide you as you find your way back to yourself."
Gay Clients
"I have a private practice in Santa Barbara, where I conduct individual therapy and couples counseling. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for panic attacks, social anxiety, phobias, PTSD, and obsessive compulsive disorder. My approach to therapy integrates several empirically supported treatment models to help people to meet their goals and improve their lives. I strive to help the people I work with to break free from anxiety that restricts their lives. In addition, I help people to develop sustainable happiness, increased satisfaction with life, and greater psychological resilience."
Gay Clients
"I'm a bilingual and bicultural therapist who specializes in working with individuals who have experienced interpersonal violence and those impacted by various types of anxiety, such as panic attacks. I strive to support individuals through the fear and isolation one can experience after a traumatic event. Common symptoms can include shame and guilt, insomnia, nightmares, intimacy and trust issues, as well flashbacks and avoidance. I integrate various theoretical orientations and approaches to develop a culturally appropriate treatment plan for each individual. I have specialized training in Somatic Experiencing, Play Therapy, TF-CBT, as well as Energy Psychology, yoga and mindfulness-based therapies."
Gay Clients
"Life is challenging. We are expected to manage relationships, work, sickness, finances, and other stresses. Many of us come to experience significant anxiety, shame, anger, or depression in coping with the world. Whether you are facing an immediate crisis or longstanding concern, psychotherapy can help. With over 25 years of experience, I have assisted people in developing more effective ways of living.

Depth therapy often includes work with dreams, art, and sandplay. In addition, I use EMDR for trauma when addressing issues of PTSD. I specialize in sexual abuse with both adults and children as well as other kinds of trauma.

Gay Clients
"As a former social worker and mental health clinician for 20 years I witnessed families going through extreme circumstances of mental illness, addiction, abuse, children with serious emotional and behavioral problems at home and school, and complex custody cases through the court system. This experience taught me the importance of the therapeutic relationship, building safety and trust, open communication, working with people where they are at, and empathy. I believe it is through this process of being seen, heard, feeling valued and safe that the healing process can begin."
Gay Clients
"Had enough? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? I can help you overcome the addictions that are holding you back from achieving your best. My specialty is addictions counseling and I am Calif. state certified. Alcohol/Drugs/Co-Dependence/or Any addiction that you would like to address on an outpatient basis.

Gay Clients
"I help people connect more fully to their emotions and explore the challenging aspects of their lives that are hard to resolve. Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and lack of intimacy with family and friends can be healed by the process of psychotherapy; working with a therapist you trust deepens your relationship with yourself and enables you to form stronger connections with those you love. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your life and your feelings; a place where you can be understood and accepted."
Gay Clients
"We are living in very stressful times that challenge us to find meaning. Often the very painful issues that bring people to therapy -- anxiety and/or depression, difficulty with relationships, life-cycle transitions, trauma, illness, aging, lack of purpose and belonging -- present a wonderful opportunity for exploration, growth, and development. I especially enjoy working with individuals in transition, whether in early adulthood, mid-life, or the "third chapter" of older age and have a special place in my heart for those who struggle with feelings of not fitting in, living non-traditional lives or in non-traditional relationships."
Gay Clients
"To be happy and free of suffering ... this is the experience of effective therapy. When we're witnessed, deeply understood and guided to our true self, the challenges of being human can become magical. Blending multiple clinical orientations I work with the client's whole being - mind, body & spirit - to discover his/her own unique truths and capacities. Because so much of who we are is a function of our relationships, I gravitate toward couples, families and groups, teaching people how to relate to themselves and each other with refreshing honesty and authenticity."
Gay Clients
"Welcome to the profile! My practice focuses on creating a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment in which you may address whatever issues you are currently managing. Rooted in nonjudgment, this therapy will help you build a solid foundation and move forward with strength.

The education of a radio pirate
By Matthew Lasar on August 28, 2009 in College Radio, FCC, piracy
I am belatedly reading Sue Carpenter's wonderful memoir 40 Watts From Nowhere and chuckling at her evolution from a disgruntled DJ wannabe to a radio station manager. The book is sine qua non for anyone who aspires to run any kind of community-style radio station, as far as I'm concerned, because it shows how different […]
