The different strata of the small press ecosystem are bound and wound in collaborative action and influence. Within the world of small press publishing, everything, everyone, and every place (physical and digital) is interconnected, but often in ways that are not apparent. As publishers of Small Po[r]tions, a limited-edition Risograph-printed journal that focuses on experiment and innovation, we were interested in examining the practices of small press publishers who are also poets to see how they apportion their energies and how they situate themselves within this ecosystem. In these interviews we map small press connections through the discussion of collaboration among presses, editors, writers, book artists and readers. That is, collaboration in an expanded sense: influence, inspiration, community. Ecologies require study to sustain them. These interviews look to be a part of a broader and continuing conversation on the ways presses and poets sustain themselves and enrich one another.
Lynarra Featherly: Maybe we could start at the beginning. How did Poor Claudia get started? What is Poor Claudia's creation myth?
Stacey Tran: Marshall Walker Lee and Drew Scott Swenhaugen started Poor Claudia in 2008. Poor Claudia started out as a print journal and they would occasionally produce handmade, limited edition publications.
Travis Meyer: The original emphasis was on crafted small press items: letterpressed broadsides tucked into an intricately folded piece of beautiful cardboard. It was all very laborious and took many hours of work for Marshall and Drew to produce the books. They were doing it as best friends and a big part of the project was a way for them to hang out and get to know authors. I think for Drew especially it really became a solid project, something he took very seriously after his first AWP. He discovered that there was this national community interested in the writers Poor Claudia was publishing.
LF: So was there a realization for Drew after AWP that they were going to need to do less intensive manual labor—to figure out how to do more in a shorter amount of time?
TM: Yes, but at the same time the work Drew and Marshall were doing between 2008 and 2011 was still mostly handmade and limited edition, so even with having gone to AWP, it was still their intention to do very small limited handmade runs. It wasn't until Stacey and I got on board that the organization started turning away from the labor-intensive handmade work and more toward digital design and online curation.
LF: How did you two become involved with Poor Claudia?
ST: They needed a website.
TM: I'm a web developer by trade. I met Drew at one of the Bad Blood poetry readings. I knew that I wanted to become more involved in the Portland poetry scene, to be a member of a local publishing organization and Drew steered me toward Poor Claudia. Their website was atrocious, bare bones. Drew took me out for drinks at Rontoms where he introduced me to Marshall. We got pretty tanked and ended up at Ladd's Inn where they told me, "You're our new web editor". I designed the website and started running an online series called Crush. Over the next couple of years Drew and Marshall became more interested in work that took them away from Poor Claudia and in their wake we were sort of left behind and took over the reins.
ST: I knew Travis and Drew through the same circles, and during this time, they asked me if I would be interested in taking on a curatorial role at the press. Poor Claudia was going through a transition; we wanted the scope of the press to expand in print as well as online. We tested out some ideas, some stuck, like 10 Sources and Phenome. At first it was slow, but then we gained momentum and we began to see an obvious growth in the readership.
LF: You both got your start then by being in the right place at the right time, and that place is Portland, and Portland's thriving small press publishing and literary scene. How much does Portland contribute to how Poor Claudia operates and what it does now?
ST: I'm not sure if small press publishing is indebted to place anymore. We get so many readers and submissions from writers from all around the country. In the 20th century small press was dependent on regionalism and cities as centers for communities to develop. Now with the way we communicate on the Web, it seems that small press publishing can be more transportable (or even nomadic), and place doesn't seem to have as much of a stake in defining the act of writing, reading or publishing as much it once did.
…which is not to say Portland isn't a special place. There are more people emigrating to Portland than most other cities in the country, and many of them are coming here with the aspiration to be artists and entrepreneurs. It really seems in this city, regardless of its smallness, people are really fans of each other. New reading series pop up regularly because people want to get to know each other and see new faces, and hear new voices. Right now—perhaps more than before—Portland is effervescing with a great energy to create. It's easy to make things here. It's cheap to live here, and buy paper, and print books. The coffee's great.
LF: Poor Claudia publishes several different print series: Signature, Folio and Timeworm. What are some of the features or differences between those series?
TM: For the Signature series, we envisioned a clear, distinctive design concept for all the books that would be in the series, hoping this would create a recognizable standard or brand identity for Signature, which represents the work of established authors. This series, then, is principally for writers who are more comfortable with the curatorial strictures of Signature, especially in terms of design, but also in terms of content as Signature is comprised primarily of full-length poetry books. Folio, on the other hand, has fewer strictures, although it started out as a more distinct series design-wise. The Folio series started out as a pamphlet and chapbook series where we folded and sewed 8.5" x 11" sheets of paper. The traditional sense of the word "folio"—as in "leaf" or "folding the sheet once"—was how we originally landed on the term. The series has evolved, however, into a perfect-bound book series, though the design concept for Folio is less distinct than Signature. With Folio, we're embracing a more diverse approach with the series—like each "leaf" is different, each book in the Folio series will have its unique, individual design. For instance, we wanted to put one of the authors that we're working with right now in Signature, we're big fans of his work, but because he wanted the space to do what he wanted to do—he had a very specific idea for his cover for instance and wanted to use certain typefaces, which goes against the graphic design ethos of Signature—so Folio was a better fit for him in that regard.
ST: Folio is more of a catchall in terms of design and also in terms of genre. The lines are not as hard for Folio. We like the format and style we have for Signature right now and we are going to stick with that format—until it changes and becomes another form that we stick to. The chapbook The Soft War is an example of the more laborious handmade items that we have done, and we retired that model. Folio series was our chapbook series. Now it's expanded to be a broader publishing tier.
TM: Folio is now a place, more so, for authors to experiment.
ST: And a place for different kinds of texts; we are not looking for that series to be just poetry. The Signature series is a focused place for us to publish full-length poetry books.
LF: Do your print runs vary much between your different print series?
TM: The print runs vary depending on budget and what the authors need for their readership. In the end the number of books in a run doesn't really matter because we keep all the books in print. We're moving away from limited runs so if a writer has, say, a very small initial run of 50 and they sell out and there is still interest in their book then we'll just print another run and list it as a second printing. Having larger runs doesn't provide the author with more opportunities for distribution necessarily, it just gives us a smaller margin with which to invest in other books.
LF: Can I ask you what the number was for the first run of one of your recent publications, say, The Three Einsteins, a book of poetry from author Sarah Galvin?
TM: Three hundred.
LF: As far as small presses go, is that a fairly small run?
TM: It is quite small. If you look at other small presses like Octopus Books, who are good friends of ours, they're doing off-set printing with very large runs, but they're also publishing folks like Patricia Lockwood and Heather Christle, who've developed a very large readership.
LF: Are you interested in growing to a point where you are doing runs of say ten thousand?
ST: Yes, I think that we are open to that—not now though. We talk a lot about that—we try to think about who we can pursue, what kind of work are we interested in seeing in our catalog and about reaching a larger, expanding audience. If we did that it would mean that we'd have to get to a place where we'd produce those bigger printings.
TM: There are a lot of technical problems involved in expanding what we do and a huge part of that is financing. Small presses need to have a credit line that affords them the elasticity to be able to deal with times when a book sells really well and times when a book doesn't, and our press just isn't capable of getting those types of credit. I think that it's gotten more difficult for a lot of small publishing organizations to publish because of the credit crunch. A lot of people that I know who are in publishing and are doing really well were able to get credit lines before 2008. They could have been making a university adjunct professor's salary of 30k a year and still have gotten a credit line of 9k whereas now, and with our age, we just don't have those opportunities.
LF: I would have thought that the more difficult part of small press publishing would have come from the side of distribution and visibility and not so much from the finance side. Can you tell me a bit more about distribution?
TM: Distribution and finance go hand in hand, with an organization like SPD, Small Press Distribution, their model is to pay out on a quarterly basis, and there's only a 50% return on each book. That isn't a lot compared to our website where we're used to margins that are much better for us and also used to having the money in our pocket right away. This is where financing comes into it, because if we sink all of our money into an author and they sell really well, and then we have to wait three months for another deposit from SPD, that makes it more difficult to reinvest as quickly as we need to.
LF: Where are Poor Claudia's books going?
ST: We maintain a strong relationship with Elliott Bay Books and Open Books in Seattle, two Powell's locations in Portland, and Berl's and McNally Jackson in New York. We keep in touch with each other, and it's great to have successful neighborhood bookstores that support small press publishing. That helps with our visibility, since most of our correspondence and interactions are indeed online, we still rely on the classic first impressions that books make in person.
LF: Do you think that you benefit from being in Portland when it comes to exposure and sales?
TM: New York writers especially have a great deal of exposure nationally, Emily Skillings is a good example; she's shipping out quite a bit, and Monica McClure as well. They're both Brooklyn writers, but we get a lot of orders for their books from all over the country, from places like Missouri, Oklahoma, Arizona or Utah. Many of our orders are going to college towns. It's a lot of people in the creative writing world who are interested in reading them. They're the folks working as adjunct professors with jobs in small towns, or are students in MFA programs. A very small percentage of the people that we know in Portland actually buy our books except at our readings.
LF: Do you see Poor Claudia as operating in a sort of middle ground between a very small press that is all non-profit and unsalaried and a large publishing house that operates under the imperative to make money?
TM: The other day I was on the website of a local bookstore called Division Leap. If you want to talk to somebody who knows about books, Adam is the guy, he's wonderful. I was reading his blog and he mentioned this magazine called Kulchur, which was published in New York in the '60s. Kulchur published a lot of the New York school poets and I was interested in who was financing it. I looked into the editor and found a little blurb on Columbia University's website that was a description of the way she and her husband (Lita and Mortin Hornick) went about running the magazine, and it was like looking into a mirror for me and Stacey. The way she was operating this magazine was as a business, but a business that was constantly losing money. We don't want to avoid working within the capitalist system; we would very much like to have the capital to make Poor Claudia sustainable, to invest it in the authors we want published, and maybe even to pay someone full-time to make it happen.
LF: That one of you might have a salary.
TM: Or better yet, that we might be able to pay somebody to do some of the things that we don't like to do.
LF: In thinking about how writing moves into your world, does most of what you publish come through the Submittable portal on your website?
ST: We also do a lot of outreach to solicit authors whose work we already admire and want to share.
LF: To take a specific example then, how did you come to publish The Three Einsteins?
ST: The Three Einsteins was a book that Drew was interested in; he edited and proofed the book. We worked with Sarah to finalize the layout and design.
LF: Could you take me through the publication process for Poor Claudia from selection to publication? What does the relationship between you and your authors look like in this process—again taking Sarah Galvin as an example?
TM: With Sarah, it was a bit different because Drew worked with her on the editing. We suggested a few edits of our own, none of which she took, but it was actually quite a simple process with this particular book. Drew and Sarah had already formatted the book so I typeset it, sent it to Sarah and she sent it back with a few small edits to the poems. It was very simple, very painless. I think it took me less than eight hours to get the manuscript ready to be sent out for printing. A book like Rich Smith's, All Talk, on the other hand, was very involved. I worked with him on that book from beginning to end and it was a more detailed process.
LF: Is the work that gets done to get a manuscript ready for publication a fairly collaborative process between you two and your authors?
TM: It is a collaborative process but one that is structured by a publication agreement. In the past when things were more casual at Poor Claudia we would run into a lot of problems. It's become easier for us to create a kind of line between us and the authors to ensure the project is as successful as possible. A lot of times authors don't know that, especially with the small press world, in which there isn't an agency process. Larger presses have literary agents to serve as an intermediary between publisher and author, to run defense—we don't have that.
ST: I was thinking about the book Boyfriend Mountain. It is authored by two people—one half of the book is written by Kelly Schirmann, and one half of the book is written by Tyler Brewington. The book is formatted by what's called a tête-bêche, which in French means "head-to-toe," with the two collections meeting in the middle upside-down from one another. Working with two authors meant that a lot of work went into the design and layout, as well as working with two sets of poems. Travis and I both wanted to express each individual author's voice through the type we chose, the way the poems looked on the page, white space, line height, etc. Tyler and Kelly asked me to work with them to configure the sequence of the poems, which I've never done before with another book. As editors, we have an expectation that our authors would work with us and sign off on suggestions for changes. It depends on the work and the author as to just how much work goes into moving the book to publication. Each manuscript calls for a different kind of attention. In Sarah Galvin's case that was easy, with Rich Smith there was a lot more work that went into it.
TM: Yes, Rich Smith's book was a lot of work, a lot of layout and design work, a lot of edits on the line level. You know, that is something that I have fantasized about, going into graduate creative writing courses as a publisher and showing writers how to actually compose their work on a computer.
ST: Yes, not on an 8½" x 11" page format.
TM: That's a mistake many poets make, formatting in 8½" x 11", when most printing is done in 6" x 9". That is to say, poets should think about line breaks, spacing and white space in terms of what works on a 6" x 9" page.
LF: Let's talk a little bit about your online content. You have three series that you publish online, Crush, Phenome and 10 Sources. How much do these various works circulate in the world?
TM: I manage the back end of the website, and have always been really interested in the technical aspects of the site. Stacey's more active on the front end. She's the curator of 10 Sources and I generally handle Crush, and we share the responsibility on Phenome.
ST: 10 Sources has been great. We solicit contributors and they'll say, Yes! I love the series and I'm excited to contribute. I believe that people do still read.
LF: Is there something about Portland that keeps you believing that people do read? Something about Portland and the liveliness of the literary scene that keeps some of those doubts about writing at bay?
TM: I think that the Portland poetry scene in 2011, 2012 was very centralized and very active and extremely social and I think that the influx of writers, not just poets, to Portland between 2008 and 2012 was enormous, it was just crazy. Everybody you met had just moved here and wanted to meet people. Everybody was just starting to date each other, getting to know each other. Some groups arrived en masse after being in an MFA program together in other cities. Readings were happening, series were popping up, authors from around the country coming in to read in Portland, and the poetry was excellent. You go to an event and it feels like an "event". If you want poetry where you live, just start organizing events and it'll happen.
LF: So has the scene mellowed some from 2012?
TM: I don't think that it's mellowed, I think that it's gotten more intense, but more intense in a less centralized way. Before, large groups of people from the Midwest, from Minneapolis and Lincoln and Omaha were coming into contact with big groups from the Southwest. Two reading series emerged: Bad Blood and If Not For Kidnap. Both of these reading series hosted impressive writers coming through town. Now there are more series: À Reading, Bone Tax, and another, Pure Surface, which Stacey hosts at Valentine's with the Portland dancer/choreographer Danielle Ross.
LF: I know that both of you are writers as well as editors, do you keep the two separate or does your work as an editor bleed into your writing and your writing into your work as editors?
ST: It's hard to keep the two separate. I think that my work with Poor Claudia inspires my confidence to write, or at times, to not write, or to curate Pure Surface, or at times to seek out other collaborators/projects, for example. I can be reading an email for Poor Claudia one minute and then writing a poem or calling up event venues to pitch our next reading. I get into the zone usually about mid-morning, early afternoon and do a lot of multi-tasking.
LF: Do you find yourself getting work done on the computer and then reaching over to a scrap of paper to jot down some creative work?
ST: Oh yeah, my attention is usually in many places at once, and it is certainly a beneficial part of my process being able to multitask and work back and forth between creative work and my 9-5 role as marketing director of an architectural studio
LF: 10 Sources has a feel to it that might speak to your thinking and working in the "inattentive" spaces in-between technician and dreamer.
ST: Yes, I think that's true. I went to a local gallery, Yale Union, and picked up an annotated bibliography Angie Keefer created for five talks she gave there in 2013. I carried the bibliography with me everywhere I went for 2 months, talked to friends about it, got excited, doubted the idea, kept thinking about it. Ultimately, 10 Sources is an experiment I dreamt could get a range of folks to create poetic bibliographies because I wanted to read them.
LF: More broadly then, what kind of work does Poor Claudia dream of publishing? What are your publishing imperatives?
ST: I'd like to see Poor Claudia continue publishing projects that are special to us and our authors. We want Poor Claudia to be a space where authors get to experiment and play, try on something new, in case they don't get the chance to elsewhere/again. In 2015, we're releasing the press's first translation project, a writer's travelogue, a book concerned with data aesthetics and artificial intelligence, a collection of essays about Instagram, and of course, full length poetry works that we're really honored to publish. Personally, I'm drawn to interdisciplinary writing—and I would like to see our catalog grow and be a little unpredictable.
TM: I'm interested in publishing a broad and diverse range. I want Poor Claudia to be a press that's difficult to pin down. I worry that books are becoming either purely decorative or strictly "useful"—I want our books to be objects people devour, or places to which they repeatedly return.

Montreal Canadiens: Top 5 Habs Crushing It Overseas During the NHL LockoutNovember 4, 2012
Montreal Canadiens: Top 5 Habs Crushing It Overseas During the NHL Lockout
On Friday, Montreal Canadiens forward David Desharnais became the latest Hab to acknowledge the National Hockey League lockout of its players could very well last longer than first anticipated.
Now, he's off to Europe, presumably to visit the Louvre, eat the finest chocolate known to man (potentially in the form of the greatest brownies known to man) and, maybe, just maybe, if he's up to the challenge, conquer Mount Everest.
Granted, it might take the 5'7" center a little more time than most, but, God knows, he'll likely have all the time he can handle.
Faced with the reality of the situation at hand, he joins, of course, eight other Habs (including Max Pacioretty and Tomas Kaberle, who have returned to North America), over 160 total fellow NHLers and just about every hockey fan who was around eight years ago to witness firsthand NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and the owners he represents trying to fit a round puck into a square peg.
Desharnais has yet to play a game for HC Fribourg-Gotteron in Switzerland, but other Habs have actually had a chance to establish themselves, making some fans wonder if it's actually simpler to move there to get their hockey fix.
It might amount to a five-to-eight-year wait each time, but, considering North American hockey's track record, it's at least guaranteed.
Here are the top five Habs absolutely crushing it overseas during the NHL lockout:
5) Tomas Kaberle
As mentioned earlier, defenseman Tomas Kaberle is no longer in Europe, but for the one month he was playing in the Czech Republic, he performed pretty well.
Playing for Rytiri Kladno alongside Jiri Tlusty, Marek Zidlicky, Jaromir Jagr and Montreal teammate Tomas Plekanec, Kaberle had two goals and four assists in 10 games with an even plus/minus.
With his one-month contract expired, Kaberle returned home to Toronto, which, in a weird kind of way, puts him playing in Europe in perspective. Not that there's anything wrong with Toronto, of course. It's just no Kladno, clearly, which, it just so happens, is located in the Bohemia of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Okay, no real idea why it's called "Bohemian Rhapsody," but it's easy to assume Bohemia had at least a little something to do with it. Bottom line: Would you rather have Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "King of Spain" by Moxy Früvous? I thought so.
4) Alexei Emelin
Granted, defenseman Alexei Emelin has a lone assist in nine games played for AK Bars Kazan in the Kontinental Hockey League, but anyone who's watched him play knows he doesn't lace up his skates to put the puck in the net. He laces them up so he can better fight the impulse to take them off and beat opposing players with them during games.
Coming off a successful debut season in Montreal in 2011-12 in which he established himself as the one of the NHL's harder-hitting blue-liners, Emelin's strength lies in, well, his strength…and his defense.
His plus-three rating is a good indication everything's on the up and up as far as his game overseas is concerned, which is more that can be said for his opponents in North America, who, more often than not, got flipped upside down by the man with a metal plate in his head.
At the very least, he's performed better than teammate Andrei Markov of Vityaz Chekhov, who also has just one assist in nine games (but unlike Emelin is paid to put up points). That's saying something. Whether that's a positive about Emelin or a negative about Markov, you decide.
3) Yannick Weber
Perhaps a surprise entry at the No. 3 spot, Yannick Weber has rediscovered his game playing for Genève-Servette HC in Switzerland's National League A.
He has three goals and eight assists for 11 points in 15 games and that's playing in a relatively high-level league, for your information, but admittedly for the best team in the league led by the likes of Logan Couture and of course former Hab Tony Salmelainen (remember him?).
For those who didn't keep track, in 60 games last year (four times the amount he's played this season in his native Switzerland), he had just four goals and 18 points. So, obviously, to get Weber to reach his full potential, Montreal either has to become a powerhouse overnight or reacquire Salmelainen.
Perhaps not the two most sound plans out there, but the only alternative would be suffering through a lockout every year. Really, though, that would just mean only Swiss fans would bear witness to Weber playing to his actual capabilities.
Of course, on the unfortunate flip side, nothing in his game as a Hab suggests Montrealers will anytime soon anyway.
2) Raphael Diaz
Staying in Switzerland, Raphael Diaz, playing for EV Zug, currently has more points than a certain teammate by the name of Henrik Zetterberg.
Of course, Zetterberg has played 10 fewer games (and has just four fewer points, 12 to Diaz's 16 scored in 16 games), but that shouldn't take away from the Swiss defenseman's accomplishment.
What arguably should, however, is recent Detroit Red Wings signee (and relative unknown) Damien Brunner leads the team, league and all locked-out players with 27 points (11 goals) in just 16 games.
Here's hoping Brunner doesn't become the next Brunnstrom and Diaz, who had 39 points in 45 games with Zug in 2010-11 and continues to build on his success in Switzerland in a Habs uniform.
1) Tomas Plekanec
Prior to this season, Habs forward Tomas Plekanec was never a point-per-game player. Not as a Montreal Canadien. Not as a Hamilton Bulldog. Not even when he played for Kladno, his hometown team, the first time around, from 1998-2002.
However, this year, he has 20 points through November 2, including nine goals, in 15 games. Tied with teammate (and team owner) Jagr, and playing on a line with him and Tlusty, Plekanec is finally blossoming into the offensive dynamo indicative of his vast skill set.
Of course, he just turned 30, meaning by the time the lockout eventually ends, he'll be well out of his prime, but at least Habs fans can then look back to this point in time and fondly wonder what if. Okay…maybe not so fondly.
At least they can argue and find solace in the fact that his production right now is forever tainted. It's not like there was ever a scenario in which he would have found himself on the same line as the living legend that is Jagr in the NHL...
Well, definitely not with this lockout, that's for sure.

text: XXX-MC: Run Markov chain simulation. There is a version of this program for each 'mc' application (eg, net-mc). The version of this program for a given application runs a Markov chain simulation, using the application-specific routines for that application, as specified in a previous call of 'mc-spec'. Usage: xxx-mc [ -c coupled-log-file ] log-file ["@"]iteration [ save-mod ] [ quantities | "tt[12]" ] [ / decay [ temperature ] ] Here 'xxx' is a prefix identifying the particular incarnation of this program. This program performs a Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation starting with the last iteration saved in log-file and continuing up to the indicated iteration (or if the iteration is immediately preceded by "@", until a total of iteration minutes of cpu-time have been used, for all iterations). The log file must contain specifications for how to run the simulation, as created by mc-spec; the last such in the log file is used. Results of the simulation are appended to the log file for iterations that are divisible by save-mod, which defaults to one (every iteration saved). The 'quantities' parameter specifies what is to be printed on standard output when 'plot' specifications are encountered. The default is nothing. If "tt1" or "tt2" are specified, the progress of tempered trajectories and tempered transitions is plotted, the details depending on the digit (you'll have to look at the program code to learn more). If a decay parameter is specified, it overrides the decay parameter in the specification of any "heatbath" operations. The temperature parameter controls the level of noise added in heatbath operations and the acceptance test for metropolis and hybrid updates, and may also affect application specific updates. It defaults to one. (Note that this temperature is not the same as any temperature involved in tempering operations.) The -c option is used when the simulation is "coupled" to a previously performed simulation, whose results are stored in coupled-log-file. It causes the simulation to be terminated if and when the iteration written to log-file exactly matches the corresponding iteration in coupled-log-file, ignoring the records of type "i" that record the iteration statistics. When this situation is detected, the remaining iterations to be performed are simply copied from coupled-log-file to log-file. The "k" quantity (normally cumulative compute time) will be set to -1e-4 for such copied iterations. Coupling is not allowed if the number of iterations to do is specified by a time limit rather than a maximum iteration number. Copyright (c) 1995-2004 by Radford M. Neal

The Battlefield series from DICE is continuing to evolve, with Battlefield 4 bringing photorealistic graphics, improved environmental destruction, dynamic weather effects, and better animations. This is made possible thanks to the upgraded Frostbite 3 engine and Destruction 4.0 feature, which will hopefully allow more structures to be demolished.
Like its predecessors, Battlefield 4 offers an intense single-player campaign in addition to its staple multiplayer modes.

I recently purchased a U-Check pregnancy test at the 99 Cent Store. Awesome, because it's 99% accurate. 99 cents = 99% accurate. That's fair! That's a penny per percent. HAHAHA! That's hard to say! Try it! A penny per percent. HAHAHA! Maybe you'd like something closer to 99.9% accuracy, but that's not a deal-breaker for me though because for the price of ONE of the more accurate tests out there, I can buy 10 of these cheapo ones. That's like 990% accuracy! In the commercials for the more expensive brands they say that pregnancy tests can be hard to read. Let's find out together! Women's health is everybody's business so I'mma walk through the steps of taking a home pregnancy test.
STEP 1: Familiarize Yourself With The Product
Take a good look at the front and all sides of the box. Familiarize yourself with the product and read the detailed instructions. If you are English-Spanish bilingual, read both sets of instructions. Be mindful of any expiration dates imprinted on the box.
STEP 2: Brush-Up On Test Procedure
I know it's only been about a minute since you familiarized yourself with the test instructions, but after opening the box, take another second to review the graphics on the test kit envelope. Make sure you understand the directions. Remember, it's 4 drops of urine in the round well, per the instructions.
STEP 3: Unpack Contents
Carefully open the test kit envelope and remove the items. Do not eat the dessicant packet — you don't need that kind of drama in your life. The tape measure is not required for this step. I included the tape measure in this photo to satisfy any curiosity you might have about the size of the components inside.
STEP 4: Look At The Test Strip
The test strip is the most important part of the product because it's gonna tell you whether or not you've got a big, big problem. Take a second to look at it and to understand what each portion is designed to do. Do you know what "C" means? Do you know what "T" means? Do you know what "S" means? If you are confused, refer to the detailed instructions on the back of the box. It may be helpful to have a rudimentary understanding of scientific terms such as "control", "test" and "sample", but it's not necessary.
STEP 5: Prepare A Tub Of Urine
Urinate into a vessel. I have chosen a tub of cottage cheese. All of the cottage cheese has been eaten, but I did that long before I peed into it. I've also cleaned the inside of the tub very well, dried it, and kept it hidden from anybody I suspected of being pregnant. I used a cottage cheese container because I didn't want any of my friends to see that I used one of my household drinking glasses for the urine because then they'd never want a glass of water or anything and I didn't have anything else. So you should probably do something like that too. The directions recommend that you use the first urine of the morning, but that's not mandatory.
STEP 6: Prime The Urine Dropper
Extract from your tub of urine a sample of urine. Because I don't want any trouble from those nutsos who made Janet Jackson's nipples illegal, I will only say that the liquid in this dropper may or may not be urine. (It is.)
STEP 7: Apply The Urine
Add the required drops of urine to the sample area. Refer to the directions for the appropriate amount of urine and for detailed info on where to drop it. More than likely the directions are going to want you to drop it in the area denoted by the "S" for sample.
STEP 8: Evaluate Your Work
Did you put the urine in the right place? Now is a good time to double-check. Don't worry if you got a cat hair stuck on the dropper by accident and if there's residual urine clinging to it in little beads. Unless it's a pregnant cat. If it is the hair of a pregnant cat, you should scrap the project and start again because you don't need that kind of drama in your life. Cost = $0.99
STEP 9: Set Your Timer
In 1-3 minutes you should see a result on your test strip. According to the instructions, the results are only accurate for 10 minutes, which is why it's important to set your timer and to hurry up and look at your results as quickly as you can, but don't rush too fast because you just gotta chill for a second.
STEP 10: Verify Your Results
Look at your test strip and compare it to the guide on the back of the box or on the test kit envelope.
Congratulations to me! I am *NOT* pregnant and I don't have to worry about having a big, big problem. Maybe next time.
So was this test easy to use as advertised on the box? Yes.
Did I get results in 1 to 3 minutes? Yes I did.
Could I use it at any time of day? Well, it worked for me at 6pm.
I'd say that this product has exceeded my expectations by one percent, because in my case it was 100% accurate. I am *not* pregnant, because I am a man. Your mileage may vary though.

September's Alchemy
I apologise for such a long absence, sometimes it is difficult to overcome the swamps of sadness but autumn has lifted my spirits and the world is beautiful again. I hope your days are filled with blessings, magic and wonder.
Reveries of beautiful autumn days when the sun forks the sky, a parliament of rooks, sacred waterfalls, quarter moon over the valley of waning pink light, hay bales in a field deserted of cows, a barn owl calling to the moon, over forty swans gliding on Malpas river, the distinct song of a curlew, atmospheric dark moon, castle ruins, shops selling crystals, spheres, scrying balls, potions, fetishes, athames, silver ritual jewellery, books and dream catchers…
Nature Diary :
September 11th
Today; walking in the eerily silent wood, feeding brown bread to a family of swans, a tiny faery ring of mushrooms at the base of a tree, the expanse wings of a crane as it flew up into the bleak sky, taking photographs of angel gravestones, a dove's nest in the roof of a church, waves crashing against the blowing hole, fishermen perched on the treacherous rocks, a misty haze settling over the land before the storm rolled in…
September 12th
Revels under a harvest moon. Isolated beach, cool night air, lapping of waves, imagining buoys to look like seals bobbing their heads, twirling carefree on the shore, luminous light from moored ships, no cacophony of ducks from the still lake opposite, silence…
September 17th
Perfect ending to the day. My love and I sighted the ivory silhouettes of swans gliding down the river, ethereal on moonlit water. They floated downriver towards us and clambered onto the marshy shore where we threw them pieces of leftover sandwiches.
September 29th
Today I fell down a rabbit hole and found myself in mushroom land. I glimpsed hawthorn trees with lichen and red berries, faerie rings of earth coloured mushrooms, water lilies on a dragonfly pond, yellowing leaves and a stoat skull.

As a result of this transfer, TOCOM will own 63.3 percent of JCCH stock, making the clearing house a subsidiary of TOCOM.

Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery of public services

Board Governance Essentials: A Guide for Chairs and Boards of Public Bodies
Public bodies are an intrinsic part of the delivery of public services and it is crucial that their boards have the necessary support, knowledge and expertise to operate well. The Public Chairs' Forum (PCF) and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) have today published a joint 'how to' guide for Chairs and Boards of public bodies. Board Governance Essentials: A Guide for Chairs and Boards of Public Bodies offers Chairs and board members indispensible advice on the roles that they perform, in turn helping to make their time with the board as effective and fulfilling as possible.
The guide is available to all PCF members free of charge and be downloaded here (password required). The guide is also available to purchase from the CIPFA website

Transparency in arms length bodies a guide to best practice
Transparency in Arm's Length Bodies – A Guide to Best Practice encourages public bodies to publish not only data, but also information on the wider issues of what these organisations are there to do: how they are governed; how they make decisions; how well they perform and how to access or complain about their activities. It identifies the key components of "useful" transparency in public bodies and puts the needs of citizens and customers at its heart. Research undertaken for the report suggests that casting light on these issues will be important to improving overall public confidence in public bodies. The guide is the result of an extensive series of interviews and meetings with senior officials in public bodies, public chairs, government departments, oversight and citizen advisory groups, academia, the private sector and not-for-profit sector, and the Cabinet Office.

Mutualisation – an alternative model for Arms Length Bodies
Our latest report, Mutualisation – an alternative model for Arms Length Bodies provides information and guidance on how mutuals could work in Arms Length Bodies. The exploration of alternative models of service delivery forms part of the Government's drive to realise the Big Society. ALBs are urged to think creatively about how they might be able to deliver their services differently, both in the interest of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their organisations and as part of the Government's philosophical drive for devolution. This joint guide with the Institute for Government identifies the options that different ALBs could potentially adopt in the context of mutualisation.

Cabinet Office have recently produced a checklist to help Arms Length Bodies and Departments to ensure that the most important aspects of managing transitions are considered. Inevitably, no one transition is identical to another one and depending on the type of transition you are involved in, there will be certain things within the checklist that don't apply to the specific circumstances of your transition.
So, rather than having to explore which parts are relevant to your circumstances, the Public Chairs' Forum has designed an application that will do this for you. By answering some simple questions about your transition, the application will produce a customised report and checklist, ensuring you focus on the right issues at the right time. We hope that the combination of the checklist and application will help to bring clarity, focus and practical solutions to an often complex process. Download your personalised report here.

As a young boy I did not have any pets, and as I grew up and had my own family I had no anticipation of a pet or pets showing up in our household. Then, we met him one dayat the campground, a lonely cat that somehow attached himself to our family and our Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Yes, this copper and white-colored cat would not leave our campsite, even after the food was gone. Our two boys started asking, "Can we keep him, Dad? Can we?"

Beef cattle production is a year-round job. There are certain things you can do to make things more organized, whether you have a spring-calving or a fall-calving herd.
For the spring-calving herd, consider cutting warm season grass pastures for hay if your reserves have not yet been restored. Fescue pastures tend to go dormant in July and August, so look for alternatives like warm-season grasses during this time period. Try to keep young calves gaining weight. Use pastures that you cut for hay; they wil have higher quality regrowth when it is available.

Best care for everyone
An exhibition showcasing and celebrating the artistic talents and skills of the staff of Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust will go on show this week.
For the second year running, the ArtWorks project invited staff to submit their own paintings, prints, photography and 3D works of art to be shown in exhibits at both Cheltenham General and Gloucestershire Royal Hospitals.
The initiative proved such a success last year that it was launched for 2015 by popular demand. Sixty works will go on show across a range of categories from 10th July 2015.
Irwin Wilson, who together with Arts Co-ordinator Niki Whitfield has curated the exhibition, said:
"Once again we were delighted with the number of submissions we've received from staff, and again we were bowled over by the quality of the work. I think people will be genuinely impressed with the quality of the exhibits.
"This year the exhibition marks just a small part of the work of our wider Arts in Health group. The group provides a focus for this area of work within the Trust and aims to deliver a pioneering arts programme that transforms the experience of being in hospital for patients and staff."
Some of the work in the exhibition is for sale. A proportion of each sale is donated to support the Trust's Art Fund – a charitable fund which helps keep and refresh the large collection of permanent art work in our hospitals. This art improves the environment and provides great pleasure to patients, visitors and staff.
The ArtWorks staff exhibition is being held at the Trust's gallery spaces from 10th July 2015 at:
Gloucestershire Royal Hospital:
Foster's Gallery (adjacent to Foster's Restaurant, ground floor Tower Block)
Outpatients Gallery (adjacent to the outpatient main entrance)
Cheltenham General Hospital:
The Link Gallery (the corridor between West Block and St Paul's Wing)
Star Gallery (in St Paul's Wing just around the corner from the Link Gallery)

These photos are cryptic, but they're a little better look at the Toyota FT-Bh — a small, subcompact hybrid concept car that will fully be unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March — than the sketch we previously published.
A B-segment hybrid Toyota isn't a new idea (in fact, Toyota recently launched one in Europe), but the automaker claims the FT-Bh (Future Toyota B-segment hybrid) does push the envelope in a few areas. Toyota says the concept still offers the space of a five-door subcompact, yet its curb weight should ring in at less than 1760 pounds – allegedly without the use of "exotic materials or expensive techniques." The same goes for the powertrain, which Toyota claims is merely a downsized version of its standard gas/electric hybrid drivetrain.
Certainly, we can tell the FT-Bh will look a bit exotic — at least when compared to other subcompact designs. Toyota's teaser shots show a narrow LED headlamp perched atop a razor-thin wing that extends from the front fascia and fender. In back, the FT-Bh's vertical rear window – apparently cribbed from the defunct Renault Avantime – is flanked by thin taillamps shaped like steps.
Expect more details – and complete photography – on the Toyota FT-Bh concept to emerge on March 6th, when the supersmall hybrid show car makes its public debut in Geneva.

The March Slice of Life Challenge is coming up and I'm hesitating this year. To remember why we do it, I decided to read through some old slices, looking back at my very first one.
Camp Taconic
Red Hook, New York
Summer 1992
When I was at grad school, the president of the university challenged students to write an encouraging note to one other person. A slip of paper with enough space for a couple sentences was put in the mailbox of all students. I later received one from a Jim Druart. Someone I didn't know very well, but was going to be working with at Camp Taconic over the coming summer. The rest of the group all knew each other, except for me. He said he was looking forward to getting to know me better and would be praying for me as we finished the school year.
I, Mrs. Jim Druart, still have that note.
Words matter.

Unanswered: timeout problem in PHP
i'm coding a php program which will call a shell script through a button.
program : myprogram.php
shell program to be called myshell.sh
When the button is clicked, myshell.sh is executed, and result is displayed in a textarea in the original php program (myprogram.php)
<FORM METHOD=post ACTION=$_PHP[SELF]>
Now, i'm facing problem that, myshell.sh works for around 3 hours(doing large calculations), and i'm afraid of time out problem with php or apache.
I read on the website that i can set the php.ini to
Does this means that my php will hang there until the process is being finished?
How about apache time out?
What should i basically do to enable calculation working for 3 hours without any timeout problem occuring?

you can use this function set_time_limit(0) fro php's time out. For apache you have to make the changes in the httpd.conf or in the .htaccess file as per your permissions.

Discussion in 'Pokemon' started by baxcrunner, Dec 15, 2009.
yeah so i have no idea what ev training is?
What is it exactly?
Fu*ken Google it theres a instant help all over google "it stands for Effort Value" why post it's not hard to search that, it's simple & instsntaneous
prin, shut up. its not hard to answer a question either.
like he said, EV stands for Effort Value. ever since R/S, when you defeat an enemy(wild or trainer) you get exp. and one to three EV points. exp is simple, thats how you level up.
but EVs are complicated, they specifically target stats. four EVs = one stat point. there are HP EVs, Atk. EVs, Spd EVs, an EV for every stat.
now for example lets say you want to max out your Pikachu's Spd stat. well then you'd want to give it max Spd EVs. you can give a total 255 in a stat, and 510 grand total. meaning you can only max out two stats.
now, back to the Pikachu. you want to max its Spd, so you want to give it Spd EVs. every pokemon gives specific EVs. Magikarp gives 1 Spd EV. so a quick way would be to have your Pikachu defeat 255 Magikarp. now your Pikachu has max Spd. (this is of course possible with a Spd helping nature as well)
each pokemon gives different EVs, from one to three, usually in one stat but some spread it among multiple. aa i said Magikarp is worth 1 Spd EV. well Beautifly is worth 3 Sp.A EVs. so when you want to EV train a pokemon, you have to only have it fight pokemon that give the EVs you want. if you find a poke that gives the wrong EVs, then run away.
the vitamins(HP up, Iron, Calcium) give 10 free EVs to a stat, but your only allowed to give them 100 Evs this way(basically a poke can only get 10 vtamins)
also the Berries that say, "lower ??? stat, raise friendship", well those take away 10 EVs. they're good if you've acidentally gave a poke the wrong EVs.
for complete Pokemon EV lists, check serbii or bulbapedia.
trust me, EV training is good. i started EV training a Modest Charmander. by the time he was an 84 Charizard his Sp.A was pushing 300, a number my non-EV trained Charizard didn't reach until 97
cool thanks shadow
no prob. i asked the same question myself when i first joined here and heard all the EV talk. i couldn't make heads or tails of it till CK explained it to me. now i understand how they work and can properly explain them myself
nubs, use serebii
so some of the best poke players in the world are noobs? the site is a massive source of information, it would be noobish not to use it
you know what i ment & if you did'nt i fot got the ,
thanks though
Also, the best overall guide for EV-training. By reading this, I went from not knowing a thing to being completely able to EV-train my pokés. The list at the end is also usefull for when you can't remember who and where to fight for quick EV-ing

The Mother Lode business community weighed in on President Barack Obama's call to raise minimum wage during his State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Obama urged Congress to increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 per hour by 2015 and adjust it automatically with inflation.
"… Let's tie the minimum wage to the cost of living, so that it finally becomes a wage you can live on," he said.
The increase would be the first change in federal minimum wage since the $2.10 increase six years ago. It would also be the highest in more than three decades, accounting for inflation, according to the New York Times.
The White House estimated it would increase wages for an estimated 15 million U.S. workers.
"Tonight, let's declare that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty …" Obama said.
California is one of 19 states, plus the District of Columbia, that has a minimum wage higher than the federal standard, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
When state and federal minimum wages differ, the higher wage prevails.
California's current minimum wage is $8 per hour, meaning employers would have to fork over another $1 per hour per employee to comply with federal law.
The Mother Lode business community sympathized with full-time workers living in poverty but expressed concerns about how the change would impact small businesses.
"Business people in this county are struggling to survive as it is and it would, of course, make life harder," Calaveras County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Diane Gray said.
Larry Bezaitis, who recently opened the Europa restaurant in downtown Sonora, said an increase in minimum wage combined with higher health care expenses would be a burden on small businesses.
"That would have a serious impact, especially in the food service business and it would amount to … basically making people work less, but harder when they do work," he said.
According to the latest Economic Development Department data, food service jobs are among the lowest-paying of the approximately 46,000 reported jobs in the Mother Lode.
The average hourly wage is less than $9.50 for about 3,000 food service workers, according to the data.
George Segarini, Sonora restaurant owner and Tuolumne County Chamber of Commerce president, said that while some food service workers compensate for lower wages with tips, they will make less in tips if employers cut back their hours.
"Small businesses have to make a decision," he said. "Generally, it's either cut back further hours of current employees or lay people off."
Another option is to raise prices, which can make it more difficult for businesses to compete, experts say.
"Where markets are pretty tight and there's high competition, and especially if they're competing with overseas markets, it can cause a squeeze," said Larry Cope, director of the Tuolumne County Economic Development Authority. "They have to respond to the market somehow, and you can't raise your prices too much unless everyone is raising them."
Bezaitis agreed, saying "raising prices is the last thing any business wants to do."
Cope anticipates restaurants, tourism-related businesses and small businesses in general to be impacted the most.
He also noted that businesses that spend more on labor than materials will likely feel the effects of a higher minimum wage.
Other businesses were not as concerned about higher minimum wage standards.
Owners of the Peppery Gar & Brill and It's Yo Good Yogurt, food establishments in Sonora, said the law would probably not affect their businesses significantly because they already pay employees above minimum wage.
Although Cope offered a general idea of which businesses could be hit the hardest, he said a change in minimum wage would have different impacts on, and be addressed differently, by each individual business.
"It's a balancing act, and some will be winners and some will be losers," Cope said.

On Tuesday, the first lady said her husband was still struggling with his daughters growing up.
"Fathers in particular, I don't think they really know how they're going to feel until it happens," she said. "There's nothing like the look on his face when Malia is dressed up for a party and she headed out and she walks past him and you can see his face just sort of drop a little bit."
The first lady also touched on her now famous haircut, coyly responding "what bangs?" when asked what inspired the change. Host Robin Roberts, who is undergoing treatment for leukemia, told the first lady she had actually purchased a wig with bangs in December — but had to abandon it after Obama debuted her new haircut around the inauguration.
"Robin had it first!" Obama conceded. "I'm following you!"
The first lady was appearing on the morning talk show to promote a new initiative in her Let's Move campaign, encouraging parents to cook meals where half of the ingredients are either fruits or vegetables. But she also touched briefly on her decision to attend the funeral of Hadiya Pendleton, a Chicago teenage gunned down last month just over a mile from the Obama's home, using the girl's death to push for additional gun control.
"Hadiya was an honor student. One of the things her mother said at this funeral was, 'I did everything I was supposed to do.' And she was absolutely right. She did everything she was supposed to do," Obama said. "She was standing out in a park with her friends in a neighborhood blocks away from where my kids grew up, where our house was, and she was caught in the line of fire. I just don't want to keep disappointing our kids."

Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has confirmed he will leave the club "for sure" at the end of his contract this summer.
As revealed by Goal, the Frenchman had already told the club on May 12 that he would exit the Emirates Stadium and he has since opened formal talks with Manchester City.
Goal understands the Gunners are considering both Atletico Madrid full-back Juanfran and Toulouse's Serge Aurier as possible new additions to compete with Carl Jenkinson for Sagna's place.
"It's no longer a secret, I will leave Arsenal for sure," Sagna told L'Equipe.
"They tried to make an effort but the discussions have not gone in the direction I wished it.
"There are a lot of calls, a lot of speculation. Frankly, it gives headaches. I'll sort it all out before the start of the World Cup."
The full-back was officially approached by City the day after he helped Arsenal end their nine-year trophy drought by winning the FA Cup final.
Sagna spent seven years in north London, having joined from Auxerre in 2007.

It's been awhile since I posted a Friday Top 5. And today's is a little late, however, it's better late than never right?
Honestly, this week has been busy and today I was exhausted. This morning, in my delirious state I went to work in the wrong shoes. I wore my American Eagle clogs instead of my tennis shoes and didn't even realize it until I was walking in. Then I came home and took a 3 hour nap.
It was glorious.
Anyways, Friday Top 5!!
One. I received my books for this semester!! It's always bittersweet. In a dorky way, I actually enjoy the beginning of the semester. And this semester I am anxious to get over with because I have the professor again who accused me of plagiarism. Ugh.
Two. Isn't this keychain cute? I couldn't resist spending $2 on it.
Three. Yesterday I played croquet with my co-workers. It was so much fun! Except my team lost. Turns out, croquet is harder than it looks!
Four. After croquet, we dealt black jack at Covenant's annual red carpet event. It was super fun!
Five. While getting ready for work the other day, I looked out from the bathroom and saw Bob and Abbey laying on the bed, looking adorbs. I love them.
How was your week?

I have always had better luck with being in the actual sun. But, these natural light lamps do help when those winter months roll around, bringing limited access to the suns healthy rays. Make sure the lamp you choose is a proper light source for healing depression. Some companies make lights that claim to help, but are in fact simply a regular old lamp.
Good luck, and good mood!

Yes! I'm from the Pacific Northwest, where this can be a huge problem, especially in Nov - April months. You don't have to buy one of the expensive lamps, but any natural spectrum lightbulbs can work. I got mine at a big name hardware store.
I found I just used mine by turning it on and making sure I stayed in it at least at hour a day or so. I used to time to read, pay bills, etc. It's not like you have to "sun bathe" under it. I found usually within about 20 minutes, I felt a lightness to myself, I found I had more desire to get up and do something and I felt like I had more energy.

if you have seasonal affective disorder (winter blues, SAD), bright light may help. the key is that the light works best if it is the brightness of 10,000 lux. one fact that helps you figure out the brightness of your light source is that if you sit at a distance of one foot from the light, lux = lumens. lumens rating is on the package of most bulbs.
i had one of those expensive light boxes, back in the day when only 5000 lux was being recommended. i found that the flourescent light in it gave me headaches. i had my dad make a vented box with three 75 watt incandescent bulbs. it helped.
if you plan to use light therapy, you should be under the care of a doctor. there are side effects at times, including mania (having way too much energy).
if you have depression without a seasonal cycle, i don't know that light would be useful. in depression, antidepressant medication (which may also help SAD), cognitive behavioral therapy, and exercise all are known to help.

False love used to lure Albino woman
A witness in the murder trial of an albino woman killed for muthi has told the court how she was killed.
Lindokuhle Khumalo, 19, testified in the Mtubatuba High Court in KwaZulu-Natal that Thandazile Mpunzi was lured and stabbed to death three times.
Khumalo told the court that archbishop of New Star Church in Zion Bhekukufa Gumede, who is the alleged mastermind behind the killing, had apparently promised him and two others R25000 each.
Khumalo and Mandla Mabuza, 19, have already been jailed for 20 years after confessing to their part in the murder.
They and Siyabonga Gwala, 18, were apparently promised the money if they found an albino woman.
"He told us that if we got him the body parts of an albino, that would make him rich. At first I was reluctant but I then thought about the money that had been promised to us," he told Judge Phillip Nkosi.
Khumalo testified that a meeting was held at Gumede's home with Mabuza and Gwala where they apparently planned how the crime was to be executed.
"We agreed that one of us should approach the deceased and pursue a love relationship. I was the one who approached her first, but Siyabonga went behind my back and she fell for him instead."
He told the court that Gwala used Gumede's car to fetch the deceased at Esicabazini village on August 5 last year after he had told Mpunzi that they were to celebrate their newly found love.
But, instead, Gwala took the deceased to Gumede's home where he [Gwala] allegedly strangled Mpunzi using a rope.
"We were all in the house including umthandazi [spiritual healer] when Siyabonga strangled her.
"The spiritual healer [Gumede] told us that before we kill her, we must insert a [silver] coin in her mouth."
Asked by prosecutor Noxolo Dube to explain how Mpunzi died, he testified that she was resisting and a knife was used to kill her.
"Siyabonga tried to strangle her but she resisted.
"He then used a knife to stab her to death. I think he stabbed her about three times," Khumalo told the court.
According to the evidence before court, the deceased's mutilated body was found next to Gumede's home buried in a shallow grave.
Her missing private parts, limbs and her skin, which was peeled off her body, were allegedly found at Gumede's house when it was searched.
Gumede and Gwala are still on trial.
