Hi, I have a rare cancer. ADENOCARCINOMA OF ETHMOID SINUS CAUSED BY ORGANIC WOOD. It is uncureable, and i have to have it removed every three to four months. The most important thing is to stop it going through the ethmoid bone which leads to the brain. The operation to remove the bone and to insert a metal bone is called crainial facial re section. It is a hard and delicate surgery, and it will not be done until it is on the ethmoid bone.
Merry xmas x

Never heard of that type of cancer. I guess because it is rare. Sorry to hear it is incurable. You are in my prayers.
Dec 28, 2011 - 8:00 am
with squamous carcinoma of the ethmoid sinus, which is an entirely different sort of a critter from your circumstance. Did you have occupational exposure to wood dust, or what do they think the vector is in your case?
I'm sorry for your problem. Did some reading and here's what I came up with:
"Treatment is surgical excision with wide margins and postoperative radiotherapy for advanced disease or positive margins. One study evaluated the outcome and prognosis of 44 patients treated for sinonasal adenocarcinoma with endoscopic resection followed by radiotherapy. After 5-year follow-up, the overall survival rate was 63%, the disease-specific survival rate was 82%, and the recurrence-free survival rate was 60%. These results add support to the assertion that endoscopic resection is a valid treatment option to the open resection technique.[28] The rarity of lymph node metastasis makes elective neck dissection unnecessary.
The prognosis for low-grade adenocarcinoma is far better than that for high-grade tumors of the sinonasal area. High-grade adenocarcinomas have a reported survival rate of less than 35% at 3 years, while low-grade adenocarcinoma has a 5-year survival rate of approximately 80%.[29, 30, 31]"
I'm wishing for great results for you. Never give up.

Wow, do I get this one. My husband has just been going through the treatments for this. His carcinoma was found in very late stages and had already progressed through the bone and attached to the frontal left lobe of his brain. May 30th, 2011. Ron underwent a 20 hour surgery with 6 surgeons. Incredible really, they did what others said could not be done. He had a Cranial Facial resection, including a free flap on the eye, Neck Dissection, removal of the eye and orbit and small portions of bone. They also removed a very minute amount of tissue from the left lobe of his brain. Skin graft to the arm and leg…it was all crazy. This was followed by very high dosage radiation. He completed all in September and is just starting to bounce back. So far, all looks well. The treatment is intense but the gift of life is well worth it.
Jan 03, 2012 - 2:32 am
Wow, indeed. Glad to hear your husband's recovering. Sorry, but also glad you and singingbog have come across each other here. Hope recovery continues smoothly.
Jan 03, 2012 - 2:42 am
Wow! That is a scary and amazing sounding surgery! Great to read that so far, all looks well.
Jan 03, 2012 - 2:35 am
Welcome, and Happy New Year. Please don't feel bad that not many have replied to your post. I'm sure they all wish you well, but are like me, and saying to themselves "Gee, I probably can be of no help whatsoever". I just saw quemon's post about her husband having the procedure - I imagine she'll be a great source of info for you. Do well, and keep us posted.
Jan 03, 2012 - 1:41 pm
I too have one of those rare ones where there isn't a lot of others who can share their experience.
Post often as you feel the need. There may be more out there so make yourself visible to them.
This site is very supportive and a must for me to check in daily. I just don't feel like I'm the only one anymore.

Inducted: 2015 - Player
Current Home: Minneapolis, Minn.
Lori started her competitive Ultimate career on open teams in the early '80's, founded and captained women's ultimate in Minneapolis, (Repo Women). With the skills to play any position, Lori has always been a key team member and continued her winning ways with 11 Women's Nationals Championship appearances (3 finals, 5 semi-finals): Chicago's Nemesis semi's '87, Boston's Lady Godiva semis '90, Seattle's Women on the Verge (WOTV) finals '92, '95, '98, and semis, '97, '99 and '94, with two more semi-finals in the Mixed division with Seattle's Shazam, '02, 03. She competed in three WFDF World Championships, earning the gold in Vancouver with WOTV in 1997.
Lori was a driving force in the growth of ultimate in the Northwest and captained WOTV through their glory years, demonstrating her commitment as a leader and stellar athlete. Lori was a two-way starter, a defensive standout, and prolific receiver; one of the strongest runners in the sport. In addition to her ultimate play, Lori displayed a true commitment to giving back to Ultimate by serving as West Region Coordinator, coaching college and high school ultimate teams, as well as running tournaments and clinics. She mentored and inspired scores of women who have promoted our sport with passion and excellence.

Q: What position(s) (e.g., handler, deep cutter, middle-middle) did you usually play?
A: I have played all positions and have the ability to play all positions well. Up until my retirement, was on the 'A' squad for both offense and defense. On offense, my speciality was getting open anywhere on the field. If my role was handler, usually cut as the 2nd or 3rd person in a string to receive the pass. Had the ability and penchant to huck it long and deep. Backhand was extremely quick and could put it to space for a teammate to run down. As a receiver in the end zone, was one of the primary scorers on any team I played on. There have been a few games that out of 17 points I scored 12. Of course it helps to have throwers who can get it to you, but the art is setting up your cut to make sure you are the obvious choice and that is what I specialized in, timing my cuts and setting them up to be that choice.
On defense, played strong person-on-person, fronting defense. In the zone could play anything, but primarily Deep Deep or Middle Middle. Was on the A squad for Defense and if there was a crucial point; was on the field doing whatever it took to shut my person down.
Q: Describe your major accomplishments – both as a teammate and an individual player?
A: • Starting the women's team in Minnesota
• Being competitive on 3 different men's teams
• Captaining and being a go to playmaker for one of the winningest teams in Ultimate: Women on the Verge
• Introduced a performance management system to Seattle Women's team (still used today) - captains spend quality one on one time reviewing a players strengths and opportunities. This is also an opportunity for goal setting with the individual and chance for them to tell the captain in an individual setting how the captain or the team could help them get better.
• Being able to have two kids, a career, continued to captain, lead, and be a major contributor on the field both on offense and defense
• Coach of University of Washington - moving their ranking from 80th to 15th in twelve months
• Winning worlds of 97 was one of the most amazing experiences I have been apart of. WOTV had not qualified for the tournament despite being the current World champ. After extreme hardship to gain entry and only finding out the night before the tournament began that we could participate; we ended up in Vancouver, playing our hearts out to make to the finals. In the games leading up to qualifying, I had gotten numerous hand blocks, made defensive plays and got things moving on offense. I had a game changing layout block against England Red Lights to take us to the finals. Once the finals began – almost immediately there was a severe injury to Sarah GR, who needed to leave the field on a stretcher and stop the game for over 30 minutes. When play resumed, Verge went down by 4 points. I called a time out and gave an extremely emotional motivational speech to the team about how the best way to honor Sarah would be to win the game, not too feel sad and lose. The team came together in the most incredible fashion, each person contributing in some way. I played a huge factor in that game, scoring numerous points and making several offensive layouts.
• Individual Spirit of the Game Winner worlds Hawaii – given by Prime Canada
• Receiving calls or cards from players I have played with or coached, telling me how much I made a difference for them in the sport of Ultimate
• Despite moving or changing teams, have forged many deep long-lasting friendships with people from all over the world.
Q: Why did you stand out among the elite players of your time? What was it that you did best, or were known for?
A: GRRRRRRRR = Competitive drive, never quit –always gave it my all, for any team I played on. On offense - was a driving force; both catching and throwing goals. On defense, consistently shut down the top players in the sport, by fronting defense, hand blocks, layout d's and deep poaching. My speed provided the ability to cover a lot of ground, track down deep hucks for defense and scoring goals on offense. I was well respected by my teammates. With competitors like in anything - some liked me and some didn't. Had a very aggressive and competitive bent on the field, but also the type of person at the end of the day, no matter what the situation could sit down and share a beer after the game.
In addition to play and athleticism, I was known for my leadership and motivational encouragement to others. No matter what; always gave teammate's positive feedback, skills coaching and was a vocal contributor from the sideline, (when not playing). If hurt – would not give up, contributed in any way possible - by playing a modified role if needed. For example at Tune Up in Chicago, 1998, sprained my throwing hand on a layout in the semi-finals. This injury did not allow me to throw further than five yards, during the finals; became the deep target, scoring numerous goals to win the tournament. Injuries or maladies could not keep me down; have played with a cracked rib, separated shoulder, fractured foot, wires in my hand after reconstructive thumb surgery, pregnant, and plantar factious. Have torn my calf completely and rehabbed within 6 weeks to play. It took a lot to keep me off the field, I am extremely dedicated and was known for no matter what the situation, a person who always gave it her all.
Last but not least, on the field I was known for scoring goals and getting defense. During tough situations or critical points, was a player that the team wanted on the field. Women on the Verge had a website - teammates were asked to provide a synopsis or pithy quote about each other. The quote that they had for me, "I'm glad she's on my team!" Meaning: "Would hate to play against her."
Q: What role did you play on the best (or most overachieving team) that you played on?
A: My primary role(s) for Women on the Verge was starter for both offense and defense. I always had some type of leadership role, either as, Captain, or sub caller. On offense, played all positions; handler, deep, middle. My sweet spot was scoring goals, either as the receiver or a deep backhand huck. On defense, was know for stopping handler cuts by fronting, was blessed with great field awareness and if the disc was in my area whether it was my person or not, there was a chance I would get it. In the zone, could play all positions, my speciality was deep- deep or middle-middle in the cup. Teammates and opponents alike ave let me know that I was a great role model for both my team and other teams as a woman who could have children and still continue to play at the highest level.
Q: What year was the peak of your career? During which years were you playing as the "stud" of your team? If you continued playing after your peak years, how did your role change? In what year did you stop playing at the top competitive level?
A: Peak is an interesting concept…if there had to be one period of time it was 1993-2001. During this time period I was on the 'A' squad for offense and defense. Rarely was there a game where I didn't score at least 5 goals. Part of my job was to cover some of the toughest people for the competition and consequently, those same people covered me. For example Molly Goodwin, Gloria Lust, Nicole from Fury, Annie Kremil, Nancy Glass, Sarah Savage, Molly Barnes, Kathy Porter, Chris O'Cleary, etc. My team counted on me, athletically and as a leader, running strategy and providing inspiration. During the time frame of 1995-1999, WOTV won just about every tournament we attended except first place at Nationals.
On a side note, during this time frame, had the good fortune to be 'in action shots' for two catalogues Patagonia and KAVU as well as UPA Newsletter, Ultimate calendar and Nike video shoot. After Verge and playing on Posse and Shazam at age 40 + I was still making things happen on offense and defense; playing a lead role and one of the go to players for these teams. Officially, stopped playing in 2003, with a brief stint (during the beginning of retirement after moving from Seattle back to Minnesota), with Bait – helping the team out in 2004, for the tail end of the season. At age 43, during regionals, was the oldest person on the team by a long shot and scored over half the goals. Played at Potlatch in 2006, over 90% of the team was over age 40. We were in a tough pool (the winners of the whole tournament, were in our pool) we made it to the back door semis of the b pool and I scored about a third of our overall points. So while older……was still able to get open and make things happen – it just hurts a lot more!
I have been playing for over 24 years and feel extremely proud and lucky to be able to contribute at this level for so long. It hasn't been easy, but it's been a great and incredible ride.
Q: Why do you believe you are worthy of being inducted into the Ultimate Hall of Fame?
A: Performance and longevity, I have been able to play longer than most still competing at the top of my game. Despite having a career, two kids, and a husband who played competitively, I was able to participate at the highest level. My daughters were both raised on the Ultimate Field and are better people because of it. Carli was one month old at her first tournament at Solstice and Madison was ten days old at Santa Cruz in 1994. Any team I have been on has become better by both because of my athleticism and leadership. During my tenure with WOTV, I introduced a Performance Management approach that carried over to Riot.
I have made contributions at the Women's level, mixed, coaching a college team and coaching high school players. My career with WOTV was long and decorated. Contributions with Shazam over the age of 40 were equally impressive, being one of the primary point getters for the team. The University of Washington's women's team is better today because of the work that my role as a coach. I feel honored and lucky that I have been able to contribute to the sport of Ultimate for over twenty-four years!

Marcel Pagnol
Jump to
Marcel Pagnol is often dismissed in film histories as an author of "canned theater" whose appeal is limited to a certain regional quaintness. This attitude is partly due to the fact that he first found fame as a playwright, but Pagnol did play a central role in developing and popularizing sound film in France. At a time when the French film industry was being radically transformed by the introduction of sound, Pagnol emerged as a major writer, director and producer of hugely successful films. Like Sacha Guitry, another homme du theatre with whom he is often compared, Pagnol initially assigned film a dubious artistic status, but once he became interested in the medium, he abandoned the theater altogether and in 1933 founded his own production company, Les Societe des Films Marcel Pagnol. In the process Pagnol became one of the few French directors of the period to control virtually every aspect of film production.

text: At first I was hesitant about making this post and then deleted it a few days ago , but never the less I'll do it again. So I've got my mock exam results for my GCSE's ... fairly good , : 1 x A* , 2 x A , 2 x B and 2 x C however , I was told Physics can't be used as an alternative to maths when applying for university , even though physics is just applied math ... so that puts a hole in my plans... Either I take math at AS / A2 Level and risk having a bad mark ... or taking what I originally planned : Product Design : Electronics : Physics : Philosophy and ethics and just try to get into university or end up taking a foundation course prior to enrolling on the degree course I want within the field of engineering. At what point do I give up and turn to graphic design for a living ? At what point do I turn my home grown talent into something professional ? I'm tired quite frankly of being afraid of what will happen if I don''t manage to make it as an engineer because of my lack of maths or whatever , what will happen if I become a designer ? Its just set me back really... and Yet I ask , why aren't I good at math ? even though I'm getting B and A grades in physics ? when physics is arguably harder .... Regards D

Moral hazard and overlapping generations with endogenous occupational choice
This paper introduces a general equilibrium, overlapping generations model of the principal- agent problem. Bargaining power, occupational choice, and the returns to each occupation are endogenous. Individuals live for two periods and must work when young. When old, they have a choice between becoming principals or remaining agents. Successful workers are paid high wages and may become self financed principals when old; unsuccessful workers are paid low wages and can become principals only by borrowing money. In a "high wage" equilibrium, an imperfect credit market (which makes it costly to borrow money due to, for example, moral hazard between lender and borrower) mitigates the moral hazard problem on the labor market: young workers work harder than in the static model (for a given wage) in order to succeed and become self-financed principals (the "American Dream" effect). The extra effort makes it possible for principals to pay high wages. However, there is a coordination problem. For the same parameter values that give rise to the "high wage" equilibrium, there also exist equilibria where wages are so low that even successful agents need to borrow money if they are to become principals. Effort is then low because wages are low, and because there is no "American Dream".

Edmond , Oklahoma (PressExposure) March 06, 2011 -- Chris Curtis, the Leader of the Prosperity Wellness Team in GBG is getting ready to do something that is unheard of in the network marketing industry. GBG, a health and wellness company whose foundation product is getting rave revues industry wide, is a company that has at its forefront, a network marketing business model... Chris Curtis has built one of the largest teams in GBG and now he is getting ready to do something that is unheard of.
Many people would love to have the opportunity to market their business on the Internet in a real way. Chris's team, the Prosperity Wellness Team offers advanced training that shows people step by step how to market their business online, but Chris has realized in recent months that even though the training is step by step, many people are not able to implement the steps because of the time constraints.
The next 100 people that join Chris in GBG directly are going to be presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. Chris is going to build a Search Engine Optimized blog that will market their GBG business on autopilot. This is not just any blog though. Chris is also going to propagate the blog with continually updating content that is completely unique in the eyes of the Search Engines.
If you ever wanted to get into the home based business industry on the right foot, this could be the opportunity that you have been waiting for. Everyone who is realistic understands that success does not happen overnight. Anything that is worth while takes time and effort. The home business industry is no different.
The revolutionary aspect of what Chris is doing is this. He is taking the time to build each of the next 100 people who join his team an automated marketing system worth thousands of dollars. Each marketing system that Chris creates will take hours and the long term benefits could be exponential.

Washington, May 19 (ANI): Darker colours in leafy vegetables are often signs of antioxidants that are thought to provide a variety of health benefits to human beings. Now, an American research team has developed a way to make lettuce darker and redder using ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
The dark red tinges on a leaf of red leaf lettuce are the plant kingdom's equivalent of suntan lotion. When flooded with ultraviolet rays from the sun, the lettuce leaf creates UV-absorbing polyphenolic compounds in its outer layer of cells.
Some of these compounds are red and belong to the same family that gives colour to berries and apple skin. They help block ultraviolet radiation, which can mutate plant DNA and damage the photosynthesis that allows a plant to make its food.
Polyphenolic compounds,which include flavonoids like quercetin and cyanidin, are also powerful antioxidants.
In order to create red leaf lettuce plants enriched with these compounds, Steven Britz of the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, Md., and colleagues purchased low-power LEDs that shine with UVB light, a component of natural sunlight.
In small quantities, this ultraviolet light allows humans to produce vitamin D, which has been cited for its health benefits.
Britz exposed the plants to levels of UVB light comparable to those that a beach goer would feel on a sunny day, approximately 10 milliwatts per square meter.
After 43 hours of exposure to UVB light, the growing lettuce plants were noticeably redder than other plants that only saw white light.
Though the team has yet to quantify this effect, it appears to increase as the intensity of the light increases. The effect also seems to be particularly sensitive to the wavelength used - peaking at 282 and 296 nanometers, and absent for longer wavelength UV.
"We've been pleasantly surprised to see how effective the LEDs are, and are now testing how much exposure is required, and whether the light should be pulsed or continuous," says Britz.
The research will be presented at the 2009 Conference on Lasers and Electro Optics/International Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/IQEC), which takes place May 31 to June 5 at the Baltimore Convention Center. (ANI)

Taking Issue With Health And Income Studies
October 28, 1999
Sometime ago, epidemiologist Michael Marmot published what have come to be known as the Whitehall Studies, which looked at the health of British civil servants. The research was widely discussed and highly influential.
In effect, he found that lower-ranked civil servants had far more health problems than those in higher ranks. The conclusion was drawn that rank -- or relative position -- affects people's health. This resulted in political calls for more income equality.
But a new study by Jennifer Mellor, at the College of William and Mary, and Jeffrey Milyo, an economist at Tufts University, casts doubts on this theory.
- After controlling for varying factors, they found that equality didn't determine health, but rather that both are linked to a third factor -- individual income.
- Areas with high individual income are areas with high income equality and health.
- "There is no consistent evidence," they concluded, "that income inequality has important psycho-social consequences which influence individual health."
- Thus, income equality may be desirable, but not because it makes people healthier.

Sleep more? Eat less Cheetos? Get more involved? This is what an impressive lineup of speakers at the 431Project Summit in Vermont is sharing. But not only that…they are exploring ideas for reimagining the future–with a mission to make healthy "normal" for the next generation.
The event this week hopes to inspire attendees, speakers and sponsors to walk away with a commitment to bring change back to their communities, supporting today's youth to lead healthier, more active lives.
One of the these speakers is Ergotron's ergonomics and wellness research manager Carrie Schmitz (@giveafig). She shared insights and experience working with leading researchers and pioneer schools introducing students and teachers to adjustable standing desks.
"Whether you are five or fifteen, living a healthy life encompasses more than just the food in your lunch box or exercise on the playground," said Carrie. "It isn't so much about teaching kids how to move as it is allowing them to keep moving without stifling that natural energy outlet."
Physical activity − exercise − stimulates neuron development in the brain. It is the only way to create new neurons in the brain according to Dr. Fred Gage. Throughout childhood the brain is mapping the body through movement. Keeping kids moving is key to learning.
The 431 Project has a vigorous journey ahead. Contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn more or visit the 431project.org. You can also follow the event via #431action on Twitter.
What's happening at ISTE 2014?
Ergotron is featuring presentations in the booth (3326) each day of ISTE! Here, Joey DiPuma, IT manager for a Florida-based public school system, is speaking with attendees about his experience in Spring 2014 integrating a standing desk classroom into a school in their system, Belle Terre Elementary, using Ergotron's new LearnFit™ Standing Desk.
Through his recognition that the classroom environment should be capable of matching the level of achievement currently attained through the use of one-on-one devices, he worked with Ergotron to convert a classroom with the goal to increase student achievement through traditional and innovative approaches to education.

Hey there! I am super excited to share my most recent project with you. This masterpiece resides in my bathroom, and has done wonders for the look and feel of my bathroom. The best part is that I put together the whole shebang for around $20!
It all started a couple of weeks ago when I looked around our apartment and realized we really didn't have much in the way of art. Since this is the first apartment I've really decided to decorate, I hadn't collected much in the way of wall decor over the years. Everything on our walls was geared more towards function rather than beauty. So I made a vow to myself to start working on getting some art and wall decor for around the apartment.
Unfortunately, I ran into a bit of a snafu while perusing for art. It is all so freaking expensive! So I decided my best option was DIY art, something which I've never really attempted before. I had no idea where to start, so I stalled for a bit.
Then a couple weeks ago Melissa and I were shopping around our local Goodwill, and Melissa found this awesome glass pane with individual frames painted on it. We thought it would go perfect in the bathroom, a thought it would be perfect for our first attempt at DIY art.
For a while we were considering printing out different black and white pictures of flowers and other naturey stuff to put in the frames, but we never really fell in love with anything. Then Melissa came up with the genius idea to make our own art using stamps! That way we could personalize each slot with images we think are beautiful or meaningful, and change out the images as we get tired of them.
We were so excited to get started, so we ran to Michael's the first chance we got to pick out some stamps. We were thrilled to find a bunch in a sale bin for $1 or less! We ended up with seven stamps for a total of $12.98. We splurged a bit on two we really loved that were $4.79 each, but the rest were under a dollar. We also bought some black ink and white card stock to match with our black and white bathroom.
Once we had all our supplies, we got down to business. The glass frame came with generic pictures in each picture slot, so we traced each of those onto the card stock so we wouldn't have any corners peaking out behind the painted frames.
Next we had to figure out which stamps went where. After a few trials and adjustments, we came up with an arrangement we both liked.
Once we were satisfied with the layout, all we had to do was stamp the images onto our pre-cut pieces of card stock.
A couple of the stamps had to be scrapped and redone, usually because we accidentally moved the stamp or didn't use enough ink. But eventually we ended up with 5 images ready to be put in our frame! By this point I just couldn't wait to see our finished worked of art.
But we decided it would be best to hold our horses and let the stamps dry overnight just to be sure we didn't smudge them when we put them behind the glass. So we waited patiently until the next day to put it all together and get it hung up. And it was so worth the wait. I am just thrilled with how it turned out!
It has totally transformed the feeling of our tiny apartment bathroom for me. Especially with our black and white decor, it was just feeling a little sterile and well, black and white. There was no real decor incorporated, just functional pieces. This new addition, especially with the frilly painted frames, adds a much needed beauty to this space.
One of my favorite aspects of this project is it's versatility. This concept can be transferred into any design, color or style. You can change the colors or the stamps used or the frame you put the pictures in. The possibilities are simply endless.
And if you make one and later decide you are not as in love with it as you originally thought you were, it is so simple and cheap to just replace the picture! This project is definitely ideal for people with decorating ADD or like to constantly change their home's appearance. It can also be adapted for holiday decor or fun art for a children's room. I might have to make another one of these for another area of the apartment, I am just so in love.
Every time I enter the bathroom now I just get this big goofy grin. I absolutely love how it dresses up the space and has such fun and meaningful images and sayings. And that it didn't cost an arm and a leg to get that effect. Here is the total cost of this little project:
- Goodwill frame $4
- Assorted stamps $12.98
- Black ink pad $4.19
- Total: $21.17
I didn't include the card stock in the project cost since I only used 1 sheet out of like 100, and I'd been meaning to get some to have around the apartment anyways.
So what do you guys think? Anyone else doing other fun projects with stamps? Or making their own art instead of shelling out tons for store bought pieces? I'm planning lots more DIY art for the apartment, so I'd love to see any other ideas you guys have come up with.

Blackmagic Design have sent out invitations via email and posted teasers on social media inviting people to a live stream of "a press conference showing our latest camera and post production technology" today. What's behind this Blackmagic Live Stream? Blackmagic Live Stream. Photo credit: Blackmagic While we don't know what to expect from this Blackmagic Live Stream, one can presume that DaVinci Resolve 13 is a likely candidate for announcement, given that their invite specifically mentions their professional post-production software. There is, however, surprisingly little information in the wild about this press conference. Some rumours have started circulating about a 4K update to their MFT Pocket Cinema Camera, with the addition of an H.265 codec. All we know is that we can't wait to tune in and find out what Blackmagic have up their sleeves. Local times indicated below, to see what they have in store for us. Leave me your guesses in the comments below, and let's see who gets it right!

Back in September, Canon announced two new professional 4K, HDR, reference monitors – the Canon DP-V2420 (shipping now) and the DP-V1710 (shipping February 2017). I managed to get some hands-on time with the top-of-the-range DP-V2420 this week. Read on to see my thoughts on how the Canon DP-V2420 HDR Monitor performed. Features With a hefty £25k price tag, you'd expect the Canon DP-V2420 to be stuffed full of cutting edge display technology, and thankfully it is: 24-inch, 4096 x 2160, 4K, 10-bit, IPS LCD panel, with 178° viewing angle. Support for 48p, 50p and 60p source frame rates in 4K. ITU-R BT.709 and ITU-R BT.2020 colour gamut ITU-R BT.2100 and SMPTE ST 2084 compliant, supporting both Dolby Vision and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma). Peak luminance of 1200 cd/m2 and a minimum luminance of 0.005 cd/m2. Built-in 4K RAW de-bayer (from C300 mk2, C500 or C700). HDR-SDR Split-Screen View. How Does the Canon DP-V2420 Perform? As mundane as it may seem, the first thing that struck me when setting up the Canon DP-V2420 HDR Monitor was how simple and intuitive the menu system was. Having worked with a lot of reference monitors in my time, this was by far and away the easiest menu system I've come across. It was particularly quick and easy for me to create an HDR preset to match YouTube's new HDR specification, with a peak luminance of 1000 cd/m2. The Canon DP-V2420 HDR Monitor menu. The next thing I noticed was just how crisp and defined the 4K image was. The material I was working with was originally shot on a RED Epic-W with the 8K Helium sensor, though I was working from a 4K Pro Res 4444 XQ master. The image quality was simply remarkable, but what truly blew me away was when I set my Resolve project to 1080p to test the DP-2420's 'Shape Tracing' upscaling technology. I thought this would be a useful real world test, as not everyone has the required hardware to output 4K from their system, such as Blackmagic's UltraStudio 4K Extreme. Once I was outputting a 1080p signal to the DP-V2420, I took a step back and couldn't believe my eyes. If I hadn't known better, I would have sworn I was looking at the 4K signal still! It really is one of the best upscaled 4K images I've ever seen. I was a bit dubious when I first heard that this monitor used a backlit LCD rather than an OLED panel. For HDR, one would normally expect OLED in order to achieve the low 0.005 cd/m2 blacks necessary. As soon as I was feeding it my signal, though, it became clear that Canon had achieved something truly unique with this backlight technology. The DP-V2420 HDR Monitor's backlight scanning uses a full array RGB backlight, allowing individual areas to be partially turned off. Canon wouldn't tell me too much about how this technology works, but it's clearly very clever and produces deep blacks that one wouldn't normally see on a backlit IPS panel like this. As well as local dimming, the sensors behind the backlight array are also able to measure temperature, luminance and colour information across the panel. This wealth of data allows the monitor to maintain optimal performance at all times and Canon even told me that it should mean that, under normal conditions, it shouldn't require re-calibrating (it's initially done using top-end Klein probes by Canon before it leaves their factory) before a year or more in to it's working life! My only real criticism of this display is its fan noise. There were times when I thought the thing was going to take off! However, after chatting with Canon about this, I was told there is a firmware update coming soon to fix this issue. There will also be some new features introduced, the most exciting of which is the ability for the monitor to take an incoming feed and split it in two on screen, allowing the colourist or DIT to check both the HDR and SDR versions of the grade side by side. This is currently only possible by bridging the SDI In and Out ports on the back with an additional cable, but the update will remove this requirement, making it much easier to take advantage of this feature. I can see this split-screen feature, coupled with the HDR-compatible waveform monitor built into the Canon V-2420, as being extremely useful on-set during HDR productions. Summary In the burgeoning market for professional HDR monitors, the Canon DP-V2420 HDR Monitor is one of the ones leading the pack. It has some very clever tech inside it and several killer features that would make it invaluable both on set during an HDR shoot and in the colour suite. *Thanks to Abandon Visuals for allowing me to show their footage being used in this review.Read more

The all new Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 12.5 is out and, as always, it's available as a free download. The company claims to have implemented 1,000 enhancements and 250 new features, so this new version is definitely worth a closer look! The video below highlights some of the new and enhanced features. DaVinci Resolve 12.5 1,000 enhancements and 250 new features, now this is a bold statement! Sure, not every one of these bits and pieces, but there are some very exciting improvements to be found in this new version of DaVinci which was initially introduced as a beta version at this year's NAB show in Las Vegas. For a quick overview, these are the major enhancements of DaVinci Resolve 12.5: First up is a brand new feature called Fusion Connect. With this you can send clips from Resolve straight to Fusion 8 (also available as a free download) for further effects work. After having finished the FX, the clip will be sent straight back to Resolve. This feature comes built in natively, no more painful rountripping breaks. The Adobe Premiere & After Effects tag team can expect some competition here! There's no doubt that DaVinci Resolve is the gold standard in terms of colour grading, but this isn't really true when it comes to the edit tab. It's become obvious that Blackmagic wants to change their reputation in this regard. A lot of editing features have been added to the 12.5 release of Resolve; some of them may be pretty much standard, but at least they are available now. And it doesn't seem that Blackmagic will stop developing their flagship software anytime soon. New editing feature for version 12.5 Blackmagic has put a lot of effort into the edit page. As the whole editing capability is relatively new to Resolve, it's nice to see the edit page flourishing in such rapid fashion. Some of the highlights include: advanced edit overlay, including ripple overwrite Improved clip retiming, including 2 new curves Drag and drop for clip reorganisation on the timeline Ability to view and edit clip metadata right from the edit page Power Bins: like Smart Bins but spanning across multiple projects Advanced editing features like ripple overwrite, ripple cut and paste/insert Markers now can work as duration markers, too New dissolves, wipes and other transitions Ability to edit keyframes directly on the timeline Audio waveforms can be displayed as an overlay in the source viewer New text tool. Edit text directly in the viewer New colour features The colour tab, an already advanced workspace, has also been improved. Now you can control the colour temperature and tint of a clip via dedicated sliders. Finally! Another improvement is the new Resolve FX effects library which is built right into DaVinci. The effects range from things like glow or film grain to weird stuff like JPG Damage, and they work either as a CPU or GPU effect. Other features include: New point tracker for hard to track clips (works with Resolve FX, too) Improved node editor: copy, swap, extract and insert nodes easily. Even compound nodes are possible New HDR mode for nodes Log contrast control can be set to either linear or S-curve mode New layering composite modes like colour dodge, colour burn, exclusion, luminosity and others new point tracker tool in conjunction with Resolve FX Some of the new features can only be found in the paid studio version of Resolve 12.5: Enhanced temporal and spatial noise reduction Automatic (and manual) lens correction for minimizing lens distortion New deliver page with presets The all new deliver page finally sports presets for popular video platforms like Youtube or Vimeo. Also, Premiere Pro XML presets are available and even audio only options can be found for further audio editing. All in all, the deliver module gets a much needed update and is really easy to use now. Everything you need is right there. the all new deliver page with presets Conclusion It's impossible to walk you through each and every new feature of this massive update. You really should try it for yourself and explore the myriad enhancements in DaVinci Resolve 12.5. I must say I'm really impressed by the developing speed and all the new features in such a brief period of time. Not long ago, there wasn't such thing like an edit page in Resolve at all! We will see what the future holds for DaVinci but it seems that it will be bright. Check out Blackmagic Design's offical website for all the details. There are plenty of videos to be found, too.Read more

SCOTT JAGOW: Right now, plane-maker Boeing dominates the Chinese aircraft market. Today, its European rival Airbus shook things up by signing a deal with China. But this deal could cost jobs in Europe. Stephen Beard reports.
STEPHEN BEARD: In a joint venture with the Chinese, Airbus has agreed to build a plant in China.
The plant will assemble sections of the midsize A320 manufactured in Europe. The Chinese have ordered 150 of the jets.
Airbus says only 200 European jobs will be lost, but analysts here are not so sure.
Kieran Daly of Air Transport Intelligence says Airbus has been overstaffed for years.
KIERAN DALY: There's a general belief that some number of thousands of jobs will go at Airbus in the end. There is a little bit of a feeling that they've been storing up some these difficulties over the years, that they are going to have to address that and really cut some costs in the short term.
Airbus's costs have spiraled because of problems with its new super-jumbo, the A380.
Britain's Virgin Atlantic airline has just postponed its order for the new plane by four years and extended its leases on a number of Boeing jets.
In London, this is Stephen Beard for Marketplace.

If you are reading this on the day it was posted, March 17th, 2016, I'm currently on a bus heading north to Pa. The deal in Key Largo fell through. Promises were made, not kept. You know how you go into a situation where everything feels just right and you know it's going to work out just fine? Yeah, I got the opposite of said feeling. As I was going around finding out what I would be doing it became more and more apparent this gig was not going to work out. The biggest hangup, as usual, was not having a place to live. I thought some assistance was coming from those who wanted me there so badly but in the end, there were too many what if's, maybe's, and not sure's. The job itself looked to be more and more corporate as things went on and you all know how I feel about corporate. So in the end, I walked. No really, I walked about 2 miles to catch the damn bus south to Marathon and back to Key West.
Just a quick heads up for anyone seeking public transportation from the Miami area to Marathon. Skip the Dade-Monroe Express or the MetroBus and Rail system completely. The drivers are nasty and unhelpful. The busses are crowded and never on time. It's just not worth the hassle. Take the Greyhound. More money but they will get you there in comfort.
Anyways, while I was debating the move back to Key Largo, I got a call from Pa. One of my relatives had died the day before. Cancer got her. So, with nothing else going on, and no place to be nor stay back in Key West, I decided to book a trip up for the funeral. Not the best reason to travel but, she was blood kin, and too many of my relatives have died and had funerals where no blood kin showed up. Just felt like the right thing to do.
I booked the bus on Monday to leave on Wednesday as the train was too expensive. So rather than waste 2 days with no place to stay in Key West, I came up to the Miami complex and hung out in the airport for said two days. It was quite the interesting adventure.
Firstly, in case you are wondering, you can sleep overnight in the airport on the concourses outside of the security zones. You may be sleeping in a hard seat, possibly on the floor, it will be noisy, and not real clean, but you can do so. Nobody will bother you providing you are not in the way. I was able to find a small room with a nice view of the airplanes moving in and out, with the restrooms next door. There were outlets to plug into so I was actually able to get some online work done, and catch some sleep. Not a lot, but enough to keep me going.
And just to let anyone who is thinking of going the Digital Nomad way of life, in the last month I have slept in a comfy bed, couch, on the floor, on a carpet, in a chair, on a train, and a bus. It's been interesting, but no bed bugs anymore.
Downsides? The airport runs the AC at the coldest setting they can get. It was freezing in there and I was ill prepared for the cold. It's busy all the time, even in the wee hours of the night there were people scurrying about to catch planes. And, the night crews were coming through to clean everything.
As for food, there were plenty of choices, all expensive and with minimal nutritional value, but at least one could eat.
I'm not sure what is going on but there were hundreds of Cuban's lining up all day long for the trip to Havana. From what I have read, travel restrictions have been lifted and everyone can go now. There were long lines of people, all of Cuban descent with carts full of stuff they were taking to the island, presumably to give to relatives down there. The apparent procedure was to take the stuff you were flying down there, wrap it in shrink-wrap or cellophane, and mark it for whom it goes to. People had carts full of this stuff.
Me? All I had was my little bag. Much more better for traveling.
Out in front where the cars, taxi's, and other transports come in, there were about a dozen skycaps, none of whom spoke a word of English. They were running back and forth, yelling at each other, and scrambling to help people get their shit loaded onto carts and into the terminal. This in addition to all the other people flying in and out. You can bet on one thing, no matter how expensive, nor inconvenient, people will fly. The airport was packed all the time.
And one quick heads up. I do not mean to sound racist with this but it needs to be pointed out. If you are white, and do not speak Spanish, you are in a foreign country in Miami, especially at the airport. Everyone who works here is bilingual, and most likely of latino descent. I didn't have any issues, other than I can't hear very well, but there was a certain condescending, 'you are not welcome' vibe. Everyone was polite enough, but you got the feeling you didn't fit in. It's not the U.S. here, not by a long shot. Be prepared if you do come here for language barriers and culture shock.
So, for two days I roamed about the airport, doing some computer work, and just watching the whole of humanity pass through. People are traveling all the time, be it by plane, train, bus, or whatever. I've had a chance to sample a variety of transport options over the past month. While flying remains the best for time, I enjoyed the train the most so far. Decent pricing, easy to book, no hassles, and the train was comfortable. The bus is reasonable but I may change my mind after 32 hours of riding to the north. But still, as long as I can plug in on the road, I can get some stuff done, sleep, and enjoy the ride.
I don't know how long I will stay in Pa. Maybe a week, possibly two. I'm learning how the booking process works with the bus and train. If I can book out ahead far enough, the savings on fares are significant. And since I have no real schedule, and no reason to be anywhere else, I can be choosy. From there, I will return briefly to Key West, and decide what to next. It's pretty much a crapshoot but it's been rather fun and exciting. If I can maintain some semblance of some income to keep up with transport costs, food, and the occasional roof over my head, I just might make it to the end of the year. Then the real travel will begin.

I'm sorry for the loss of your relative. Many problems for you to handle.
You're obviously a very resilient and resourceful guy.

text: Sitting at 14 days since I seeded my lawn. I believe at this point most of the grass has come up. However I think most of the grass came up within the first week. Now, The grass looks good and thick when looking across the lawn, however upon closer inspection - such as looking down on the grass from my deck-its really not that thick at all. There are areas where grass came up good and thick with lots of new shoots and right next to those areas there are spots almost completely void of grass. To say it simply the grass seems to have come up "patchy". Is it normal for fescue to come up like this, did I do something wrong when seeding or will the grass eventually fill in the more barren areas? I just dont understand how it can come up so thick in one spot and hardly grow at all in a spot right next to it. When I put down the seed it went down pretty evenly, I know without question that there was plenty of seed put down in the thin areas. Granted I know I still have one more week before the 21 day germination period gets here but im not really seeing many new sprouts in these areas at all. Should I spread more seed and wait another 21 days for these areas to fill in?

What is rounders? Never heard of that movie.
I had a hard decision between Bull Durham and The Natural...
I went with the Natural...
Has anyone else read the book? It is excellent too... But the ending is NOTHING like the move. I want spoil it here... but I do recommend the read.
Rounders is a poker movie with Matt Damon and Edward Norton. I love the movie, but no way it beats Rocky.
Rounders is very good. Definitely worth a rent.
It is unfair to have Caddyshack in this contest. The contest should be about the greatest sports movie ever, besides Caddyshack.
I never really liked Caddyshack myself. I think it's good, and I think it's pretty funny, but I've never thought it was one of "the greatest movies ever." I still think it's in a completely different league from Happy Gilmore, but I really hope it doesn't win the whole thing.
I don't think it will win.. Either Rudy or Rocky...
Caddyshack in a landslide. One of the greatest comedies of all time. I love Rocky and Hoosiers also.

Seriously who did not cry at "Rudy"......

WASHINGTON — On day three of the annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Washington, DC, I waited for a much-needed cup of coffee behind a trio of attendees deliberating their next move.
The conference gathered 3,600 doctors and public health professionals from some 100 countries to discuss the newest developments in tropical medicine and global health. I was invited to present about global health and the media, and stayed on an extra day to attend some sessions and report.
One member of the trio suggested to his colleagues that they head across the street for breakfast, and his female colleague flipped through the schedule read aloud the title of the session she would miss that morning: "Promoting Women Leaders in Global Health."
She looked up with a bored expression and said, "No, thank you."
Perplexed by her nonchalance, I went to the panel. In the room were about 100 women (I also counted six men) who were anything but nonchalant about the issue. Throughout the session, presenters and audience members made compelling cases for why they think the gender disparity in the field of global health is important to discuss.
Halima Mwenesi — one of the presenters — told me in an interview that the only way to get more women leaders in global health is "dialogue, dialogue, dialogue."
She added, "Talk about it. Make people aware of the problems. It's only when you recognize the problem and name that problem that we can do something about it."
Indeed, the panelists' presentations demonstrated over and over again that science is a long way from achieving gender equality, and what's more, many men and women don't know it.
Many scientists say that implicit gender bias doesn't apply to them, said Jo Handelsman, professor of molecular, cellular, and developmental biology at Yale University. After all, they argue, science is a meritocracy, and scientists are trained to be objective.
Ann Bonham, chief scientific officer of the Association of American Medical Colleges, said, "we as scientists, both men and women, have somehow thought that we magically escape implicit bias."
But at the symposium, Handelsman presented the results of a study that found otherwise.
In 2010, she and a colleague conducted a study that looked at the unconscious gender bias of biologists, chemists, and physicists at research institutions across the country.
More than 100 scientists were each presented with a resume of a student applying to be a lab manager. The applicants were identical, except for one thing: half of the participants received an application from "John," and half received an application from "Jennifer."
Both male and female participants in the study were more likely to hire John over Jennifer and would have offered John a higher salary.
Respondents were also more inclined to mentor John than Jennifer, which could have big implications for the future of science, said Handlesman.
"Faculty across the sciences act as gatekeepers of the sciences," she said. "They think John is more competent than Jennifer, [so] you can imagine all of those small interactions in which faculty give advice, give help after class, answer questions, suggest opportunities, … those very, very small differences built over many, many interactions could have a devastating effect on women."
Bonham said that the higher you look on what she calls the "leadership ladder," the more apparent unconscious gender bias becomes.
While 54 percent of instructors in medical schools are women, only 12 percent of deans are women, according to a 2012 report by the Association of American Medical Colleges.
The panelists gave varied advice to women in the audience, suggesting strategies to shrink the gender gap that ranged from finding mentors and coaches, nominating other women for leadership positions, showing more images of famous women scientists, and even playing a board game called WAGES (Workshop Activity for Gender Equity Simulation) that educates players about subtle gender bias.
There is reason for hope, says Mwenesi, who has proven it possible to overcome the gender gap and more.
"My take home message is we can and should institute a number of solutions that have been instituted in other fields," she said. "It is not all doom or gloom."
For an African woman to get to a leadership position in the field of global health, Mwenesi explained, she must overcome hurdles that most American women don't even have to think about, like early marriage, religious restrictions, and language barriers.
Originally from a small Muslim village outside of Nairobi, Mwenesi is the first person in her family — and one of the first in her village — to graduate from college, and she is the first person in her village in 20 years to earn a PhD. Her parents believed strongly in education, she said, and encouraged all eight of their children to become educated.
She said she has had to work "doubly hard" to get to where she is because "being female itself is a barrier," she said, "as is being African."
Mwenesi now works as a senior project director focusing on malaria at FHI 360, an organization that helps the private sector work to improve the health of people in developing countries. She has worked with government leaders around Africa to implement the commitments they have made to fight malaria.
And she keeps moving forward.
"We all want a world without disease and sickness," she said. "We want to realize our potential. And that's why I push on."

Unanswered: Restoring DB for files...
In order to copy a database from a server to a server, I cant detach the database as there are many users connected to it. The transaction log is large file while the data is about 46 MB, I made a backup for the data file only, zipped it and copied it to the target server.
Ex: the name of the source DB on the source server is x, the file I took as a backup for is x-data
From the Enterprise Manager, right-click the x DB, All tasks, Backup database, in the backup option click the File and Filegroup option and chose the primary file group with x_data file.
Then, I created a new database name it y with y_data , y_log files on primary filegroup. I want to restore my backup to have the DB x on my target server,
I tried:
RESTORE DATABASE y
FILE = 'y_data',
FILEGROUP = 'primary'
FROM disk= 'E:\VMS\DBFiles\test'
But it did not work. Any help?

Simcha Fisher, author of The Sinner's Guide to Natural Family Planning writes for several publications and blogs daily at Aleteia. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband and ten children. Without supernatural aid, she would hardly be a human being.
Last week, I was chugging along on my treadmill. The display told me I had one minute left. My first thought? "Aw, that's good enough. I should just quit now." I immediately chased off that stupid idea, and it was immediately replaced by another one: "Well, at least you can slow down for the last thirty seconds!"
Well, I didn't. If I had been smart, I would have cranked up the MPHs and added an extra ten minutes, just to show my stupid weasel brain who's the boss. As it was, I exerted all my willpower to finish the allotted time at the normal speed.
If we're talking about the treadmill, it really doesn't make much physical difference if I push myself for 29 minutes or 30. But what if we're beset with the same dumb urge to quit or slack off in the final week of Lent? When we're talking about psychological or spiritual benefits, the home stretch can be really meaningful. It's not time for building habits, it's time for showing your unwilling spirit who's boss. Here are a few ways you can push hard through Holy Week:
1.Say yes to all reasonable requests. It's simple: if someone asks you do to do something, cheefully agree if you possibly can. Even if it's inconvenient, even if it's not ideal, even if it's not fair or not what you agreed upon or not what you planned. Most of us don't get direct, explicit requests from God, so the best way to say "yes" to Him is to say "yes" to other people. Probably not a great idea if you're already prone to overextending yourself; but if, like me, you have the opposite problem, this could be an eye-opening exercise.
(N.B.: If you live with children or other unscrupulous types, it's probably best not to announce that this is your plan, unless you want to be exploited like crazy. Just do it without fanfare, and see what happens.)
2. Go silent. Holy Week is a very good week to turn down external things so we can hear God's voice. It's even possible to be so busy with good works and spiritual practices that we drown out God. In either case, it's helpful focus on cutting down literal sounds: turn off the news, turn off the music, even sacred music. Don't snap on the radio the minute you step into the car. Give your listening heart a fighting chance.
3. Go dark. We've done some form of screen-free Fridays during Lent. A few years ago, Jennifer Fulwiler tried something more radical: lights out for Lent. She says,
we committed to foregoing all electric sources of light after sundown approximately once a week—and this included not only overhead lights, but glowing screens like computers or televisions as well. For safety's sake we did leave nightlights on in the hallways while we slept, but in terms of illuminating our evening activities, it was all candlelight. The impact it had on our lives was more powerful than I could have imagined.
Maybe not for all of Holy Week, but for Good Friday? Seems do-able.
4. Dig deep this week, give up something that really hurts, and give that money to the poor. What's essential for Easter? A new sweater to make your outfit perfect? A gourmet chocolate bunny which is so much better than the hollow kind? Can you think of a better use for that money?
5. Share your Easter. When the women realized that Jesus had risen, the first thing they did was run off to tell everybody else. This is not a day to hunker in our bunkers. Easter is for sharing! Keep your eyes open for someone to invite, whether your plans include hosting a giant feast or just going for a walk in the park on Sunday after Mass. Next time you're chatting with someone, ask if they have plans, and be ready to share your home and time.
7. Do the stations of the cross. If it's not available in your parish (or if your family's presence will make the experience too penitential for the rest of the parishioners), you can do this at home. Here is a standard version and here is a version for children.
8. Clean house. You're probably doing this anyway, if you are going to have guests for Easter. Do not, o thou man, forget to clean your interior house! Yes, even if you have no mortal sins on your soul. Most parishes are still offering last-minute confessions up until Holy Thursday -- and if they're not, drive to the next parish, or call your priest and ask if you can meet him.
9. Pray every day. Doesn't even have to be anything fancy, or special for Lent. Your own words are fine. Place yourself in the presence of God, and work your way through ACTS: adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication. Just do it every day this week. Do it. Just do it!
10. Keep your persepctive. We may be finishing up Lent, but Easter is not a one-day, make-or-break opportunity. A good Lent makes us into bigger vessels to receive grace, but even if we're still at low capacity, the grace will be there. It's never been about whether we've done enough to deserve God's grace. It's always been about whether we're smart enough to recognize a good deal when we see one.
In item 1., I prefer to "cheerfully agree", rather than "cheefully agree". (My wife uses my pickiness as a spellcheck sometimes.)
I don't have any kids. . .I have seminarians and OP brothers.
Oh, and my Weasel Spirit is an over-caffeinated Squirrel Brain.
Fr. Philip Neri, OP
Thank you Simcha. You are always interesting to read. I am reminded of Saint Francis Xavier who, when told to slow down in his later years, said (let me paraphrase): How can I do that? When a captain at sea sees the shore on the horizon, does he slow down? No, you are not near the horizon Simcha, but, then again, we all are "close" to port.
Glad to know I'm not the only one battling a weasel spirit. The practical advice helps me to recognize it, the fact it is there for others, too, helps me not feel quite so alone. Thanks so much for making these last days Lent, and hopefully helping to make my efforts to pursue better habits (somewhat) developed these last few weeks, more positive than this week started out to be.
Ummm, I of the sudden "I have a sinus infection so therefore I can eat stuff I gave up" needed this. :)
@RmW, I love this: "Another neat idea from a friend came from an email they received from their older cousin (60's). After doing their own stations he noticed another person doing theirs. When finished she then did them backwards. Curious, yet polite, he approached her to ask why.
Her lovely response, "The first time I do them with Jesus. The second time I walk His Mother home." WOW! Takes my breath away -"
Just a note make a quick fix to the misspelling on #10 - as I was reading and taking notes I read is as 'per-septic' and laughed as sometimes my interior life has a 'septic' quality to it! Holy Week is always a great time for cleaning out everything!
We have done 'quiet, dark' Good Friday for years now and my kids have come to really appreciate it.

You have been spying on me! I got Lent-weary last week! I didn't stop everything I was doing/not doing, but I I felt the persistence required by Lent waning. Thank you for the concrete ideas!
Excellent points. In our family we have been having visits for a number of years on Easter Sunday. Just getting together like that gives me an opportunity to find out where everyone stands.

That Getty images seem pretty hard on anything they trawl out. I scraped images from pinterest, so it is vey possible that some of them will be protected. Several £1,000 cases can devastate some marketers/bloggers, especially the novice. It would hurt anyways: the bigger you get - the stronger the blow, as you're likely to face more claims. I see all the same images everywhere, and noone seems to care. Yet, looks like there are real cases of square copyright claims to website owners. What do you think? Should I worry when using scraped images in my blogs or pins or tweets or FB fanpage or whatever?

A shake-up of so-called joint enterprise legislation – which was used to convict the killers of black teenager Stephen Lawrence – could be needed in murder cases to stop "minor" players from being condemned to spend life in prison for another person's crime, a group of MPs has said.
The Justice Committee wants the Government's law reform advisers to consider scrapping the rule that in a joint-enterprise murder it is not possible to charge secondary figures – who did not encourage or assist the crime – with a lesser offence such as manslaughter but only with murder.
Joint enterprise law allows for several people to be charged with the same offence, even though they may have played different roles in the crime. While it can apply to all offences, it has recently been used as a way to prosecute murder – especially in cases involving gangs of young men.
High-profile cases where the law was used included that of David Norris and Gary Dobson, who were convicted under joint enterprise for the 1993 murder of Stephen Lawrence. Mr Lawrence was stabbed to death by a gang of youths in a racially-motivated murder at a bus stop in Eltham, south-east London, when he was 18.
However, the Justice Committee did hear evidence from Cambridge academic Dr Matthew Dyson who questioned whether joint enterprise did apply to the Lawrence case in the sense considered in the report.
The group of MPs called for the Law Commission to undertake an urgent review of the law of joint enterprise in murder cases.
Committee chair Sir Alan Beith said: "There are clearly cases in which joint enterprise is necessary to ensure that guilty people are convicted.
"We are particularly concerned about joint enterprise in murder cases.
"The mandatory life sentence for murder means that an individual can be convicted and given a life sentence without the prosecution having to demonstrate that they had any intention of murder or serious bodily harm being committed, and where their involvement in a murder committed by someone else was minor and peripheral."
The Committee also found that a large proportion of those convicted of joint enterprise offences are young black and mixed race men.
Research seen by the committee showed 37.2% of those serving long sentences for joint enterprise offences are black/black British, 11 times the proportion of black/black British people in the general population and almost three times as many as in the overall prison population.
There is also a higher proportion of mixed race prisoners convicted of joint enterprise offences than there are in the general prison population.
Sir Alan said: "It is noticeable that black and mixed race young men are disproportionately represented among those convicted under joint enterprise.
"Some have argued that the doctrine has an important effect in deterring young people from getting involved in criminal gang activities, but others are sceptical about this.
"We say in our report that there is a real danger in justifying the joint enterprise doctrine on the basis that it sends a signal or delivers a wider social message, rather than on the basis that it is necessary to ensure people are found guilty of offences in accordance with the law as it stands."
Another high-profile joint enterprise murder case was the killing of Garry Newlove, who was attacked in August 2007 after he confronted a group outside his house. He died two days later.
In January 2008, three teenagers Adam Swellings, 19, Stephen Sorton, 17, and Jordan Cunliffe, 16, were jailed for life for the murder.
Cunliffe's mother Janet claims that although he was present at the scene he did not take part in the murder, and has campaigned against joint enterprise laws.
Justice Minister Mike Penning said: "Joint enterprise law has enabled some of the most serious offenders to be brought to justice. It ensures that if a crime is committed by two or more people, all those involved can potentially be charged and convicted of that offence.
"Sentencing in individual cases is a matter for the courts.
"We will look carefully at the Justice Committee recommendations and will respond formally in due course."
