Maybe it was just a moment of weakness, but when I visited Superdrug a few days ago I made did a little haul on the NYC counter.
NYC is not a brand I've tried before – dunno just never caught my attention. They had an offer on, buy any 2 items and get a free pair of lashes (I am lash mad at the moment!). All the packs of lashes had been opened and tampered with so I picked the only pair that hadn't been!
I bought 2 eyeshadows – a dark grey and a shimmery white – Broadway Look and I love NY. It was I love NY that caught my attention first – I dipped my finger into the tester and it was so beautifully pigmented!
Broadway Look was promising in the pan. It's darker in real life with a shimmery, sparkly edge to it:
Both of the eyeshadows are very soft and not chalky.
The white shade is very shimmery and a soft off white.
This white one is super creamy and pigmented. It's the reason I ended up indulging and my goodness – it's GORGEOUS! Anyone looking for a shimmery white highlighter should check out this shadow (I think the were £2.50 each) – it's cheap and totally totally gorgeous!
The darker shade, Broadway Look is less pigmented and a little disappointing. Considering how rich it looks inside the pan, this lacked pigment and was a bit flat.
So I guess the lesson is, check the testers where you can, and realise that some products are hits, some are misses! I will try out more shadows from NYC because I love NY is a standout shadow so I want to see what other gems they have in their range.
Have you ever tried NYC?

A horror movie that follows none of the predictable paths of the genre, it offers disturbing psychological drama and nuanced chills rather than outright terror.
Read Full Review
Elizabeth Olsen steps onto the radar as a seriously accomplished actor in this mesmerizing drama, which also marks an assured feature debut for writer-director Sean Durkin.
Martha Marcy May Marlene leaves a viewer hanging, quite literally, lost in an enveloping fog of mood without resolution. Olsen, meanwhile, definitely marks her arrival.
A linear story, or one that was fragmented more clearly, could have been more effective. Still, a good film, ambitious and effective, introducing a gifted young actress and a director whose work I'll anticipate.
The acting in Durkin's feature is excellent. Olsen is utilized largely as an object for camera adoration, but not in the usual glamorizing way. Olsen, Hawkes and company play slippery figures with lovely assurance.
See all Martha Marcy May Marlene reviews at Metacritic.com
Iffy for 17+
Disquieting indie drama reveals the cost of cult life.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this superb indie psychological drama about a young woman's return to her family after years spent with a cult is both deeply engrossing and disturbing, with heavy themes of alienation, family estrangement, and trauma. Young women are sexually assaulted -- the scenes aren't graphic, but they are upsetting -- and a violent crime is committed. Characters drink, smoke (covertly), swear ("s--t," "f--k," and more), and display an unsettling alienation that comes from being traumatized.
Messages: Sometimes your sense of self can override messages that, though packaged gently, may actually be damaging or even malicious.
Role models: Martha has a strong sense of self-preservation and is trying to figure her way back to balance. Her sister, Lucy, tries to be supportive but is clearly confused. Firmly in the "negative" camp is Patrick, who's a master of manipulation and treats others cruelly.
Violence: A man rapes women while they're drugged and, when they regain consciousness, spins it into something that's supposedly beautiful. He also threatens others and goads some of them into shooting an animal. Another character attacks a stranger in a shocking moment of extreme violence.
Sex: One scene depicts group sex (breasts and backsides are visible). Characters kiss; a couple is heard moaning and moving under the covers as they make love. Men and women swim naked in a lake.
Language: Many uses of "f--k," plus "s--t," "d--k," "hell," "goddamn," and more.
Consumerism: Discussion about how some people define themselves through material wealth.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Some social drinking (beer while hanging out on a boat, cocktails at a party); references to drug use (no one is shown using). Pills are crushed and added to a drink, unbeknownst to the drinker.

Chicago Symphony keeps on shedding cash
November 2, 2017 by norman lebrecht
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's annual deficit has risen to $1.4 million for the year to June 2017, from $1.1 million in 2016, it was announced last night.
Ticket sales were down $32,000, to $22.17 million. Major gifts also slowed down.

I am sure a female music director will come to the rescue as the new music director of Chicago.
The music director has nothing to do with it. People who love the music of Mozart, Tchaikovsky, etc. will come regardless of who's conducting.
I was shocked to find the box seats are typically over $200 a seat – and you can't have the front row in the box seat for the whole concert – you have to negotiate with the person behind who has the front seat for which half…
I've paid 110Euro to sit right up the back (upstairs) in the Musikverein so far away that I needed binoculars. That was for a Vienna Philharmonic concert with Barenboim on the podium. I wouldn't do it again as I think that conductor is vastly over-rated!! But it gives you an idea of the increasing costs of attending concerts.
Why do you want to see anything detailed in a concert with Vienna Phil with Barenboim conducting? You go for the show? Then you deserve to be ripped off.
It's only money. Great art lises money
While one would like to see healthier numbers, it is not a death watch. By the way, I was recently reading a cultural profile of Chicago I believe on Bloomberg where the cultural jewels of that great city were profiled. Guess what? Not a mention of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
"CSO at the Movies series brought record ticket revenues of $465,000."
And they scoff at film composers. In 200 years, (insert name of favorite film composer) will be programmed every season while (insert name of most praised contemporary composer) will be an obscure and neglected entry in Wikipedia.
The most praised contemporary composers are already obscure and neglected, at least to and by regular audiences.
But the current bigging-up of movie composers (read: John Williams) — I find very puzzling. Writing backgrounds and scoring them, especially in the few weeks generally allotted, is certainly a valuable skill. I've tried listening to the results in isolation, especially when I hadn't seen the blockbusters that occasioned them and so lacked any associations, and it was all pretty thin soup at best, no exceptions. Nielson, Martinu and many others did this kind of thing much better and didn't need the movie.
As to the movies themselves, as a general rule the more heavily these swelling themes are slathered on, the weaker its writing and acting.
Not a good sign or development, imo.
"Nielson, Martinu" — by which I mean with them you can imagine the movie yourself, and a fine one it is, with real emotions every time.
I might be willing to take the other side of a bet with you Herrera, and return in 200 years to collect, but we need a better pair of choices.
Meanwhile, no film composer has equally this. Not within a bull's roar – and there were other stunners from the same composer!! I don't include classical composers like Prokofiev et al.
Not all film composers are created equal. If film composers come and conduct their own music, and are halfway decent conductors – there's a good creative experience there for the orchestra, and working with a living composer. The quality could be quite high.
That is different from a pops conductor reading through a bunch of music they didn't write, or a movie composer who's not really good at
conducting in a live concert environment.
Korngold wrote for the movies, I'm not claiming there's any shame in that. Good composers wrote jingles too and backgrounds for commercials, I bet good marketing could attract a full house for an evening of that.
Just not for me. You don't have to be in love with the sonata form to find such a development yucky.
If we require that the conductors be the composers there won't be much music making going on.
Chicago is famous for its great and vibrant black community. In order to continue selling the same stuffs while pumping up sale figures, CSO should hire a black music director and move its residence to the south in 95th street.
Whites have already off loaded their religion (Christianity) on Blacks, the last thing Blacks need is to take the burden off white people by listening to the music even white people don't listen to anymore.
Move the CSO to China, there are lot of beautiful empty halls in need of a resident orchestra.
Great idea! Also rename themselves to China Symphony Orchestra so that they can continue using their old domain http://www.cso.org.
Or they can just try both the black and the Chinese ways, and see which of those tricks would keep their sales figure higher …
Oh so now Music is a target for allegations of white supremacy?
The CSO does have an outreach program into the South Side. Last year Muti conducted Beethoven 5th among other works in a southside church. I went to two chamber music events. (One was very good, the other not very good.) All of these are free.
A review of the first concert noted:
"As soon as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra played the first four notes of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, an audience of over 3,000 at the Apostolic Church of God on Chicago's South Side broke into applause.
Riccardo Muti, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's music director, stopped the orchestra, laughing, and said "This is a difficult beginning, so you are forcing me to try again! Can we try once more?" "
Very impressive!
We soon can start this kind of outreach programs everywhere in Germany too. Especially the people in Duisburg-Marxloh, Hamburg-Billstedt and Berlin-Neukölln can't wait to hear such concerts.
The CSO's budget is about $75 million, so $1.4 million is less than 2%. Not great, but hardly catastrophic. And an endowment of about $270 million. I think they can weather the storm. Admittedly their tickets are not cheap, but neither are those for the Bulls, Bears or Blackhawks.
Besides some very funny ones, this is the only comment that's makes sense concerning financial statements.
What are the financial results of other artistics or even entertainement corporation from the same Chicago? I've found some figures about the city budget for 2016. It is not really oustanding for the whole city.
"Chicago sunTimes Editorial Board
Chicago's pension albatross
Chicago's four public employee retirement funds are short nearly $20 billion. Each pension fund has just a fraction of the amount it needs to pay promised benefits.
Consider these funding percentages:
* Police: 30 percent
* Fire: 24 percent
* Municipal Employees: 37 percent
* Laborers: 57 percent
* Total: 35 percent
Chicago's three massive bills now due
* $550 million: By law, the city must determine in 2015 how to contribute $550 million more toward the police and firefighter funds in 2016.
* $300: The city's estimated budget deficit for 2016. The budget must be passed this year.
* $50 million (at least): New revenue owed by to the Municipal Employees and the Laborers funds that must be budgeted in 2015.
— Total bill: $900 million (to be paid with new revenue or by cutting expenses)
Chicago's main funding source for pensions is property tax revenue. In 2015, the city expects to draw in about $830 million from property taxes. About 43 percent of that money goes to pensions; about 45 percent goes to pay other city debts, according to the city's 2015 Budget Overview
Chicago's plummeting credit rating
Because of the city's weak finances, driven by its massive pension debt, rating agencies over the last few years repeatedly have downgraded Chicago's bond rating. This drives up borrowing costs. Only Detroit has a worse rating. Moody's Investors Service rates Chicago two levels above junk status."
A couple of years ago I was organising a series of activities for a group of 20 or so American exchange students in Europe. As it happens they were from Chicago – which is why this item has caught my attention. I suppose I would describe them as well educated, middles class types, for lack of a better term.
When the subject of classical music came up, I was surprised at the hostility to the idea of going to a concert in Lyon. They genuinely didn't believe that anyone "listened to that stuff any more". Not one student was interested, or would admit to it.
The lack of interest was worse than I would expect from a similar group from anywhere in Europe. They weren't even curious.
Let me make this clear. I'm not saying that they were representative of the whole of the US. Maybe they were an aberration, I don't know, but I do believe that situations like this are cause for concern.
I was affraid one time to be in a concert in Lyon. For any reason, they closed the concert hall in order to wax the floor or some other kind of maintenance. Nothing special, if it was not during the season concert.
Poor Sir Neville Marriner. He had to manage that concert in a church with an abominadable acoustic. (april/may 2012)
If young students — elementary level students — are not provided any opportunity to hear the music of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms (or perhaps Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Grofe, as I did at age 5), then how can they be expected to develop any love for it?
Middle school is too late. High school and college activities are absolutely self-absorbing. An orchestra, any orchestra, every orchestra, MUST develop an effective, proactive outreach programme addressing our kids while they are open to new information and new experiences.
Strings work best. Check out the Tokyo Sinfonia.
"If young students — elementary level students — are not provided any opportunity to hear the music of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms (or perhaps Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Grofe, as I did at age 5), then how can they be expected to develop any love for it?"
Nail on head. It is entirely off the radar for so many people.
Totally agree!
I'd say ages 5 through 11 especially. Imagine an orchestra invading an elementary school for the day in an array of sub-groups — trios, wind quintets, a solitary contrabassoon or tuba, reassembling in nonets &c– all schooled in the spirit of fun and armed with cheap instruments the kids can try — I think it has to begin there.
The earlier end of the range also contains the moment for larval prodigies to discover sounds that attract them. Not as good as having musician parents but still something. The tragedy of cutting music in the schools is not merely lost future audiences but lost future soloists and composers.
The CSO has made valiant efforts at outreach to underserved communities around Chicago and continues to do so through their education wing. Their efforts should be applauded not criticized as some are doing on this thread.
The deficit in terms of the percentage of annual budget is indeed small, however, it is the year over year repetition of a deficit that is troubling or indicates that either revenue (most likely contributed) needs to rise or expenses need to be cut. Moving forward in the same manner is not fiscally responsible.
But overall the institution seems overall healthy financially and in better shape than its counterparts in the US such as the Cleveland Orchestra or Philly where the economies of those cities do not seem to be keeping up with the finances it takes to run a world class orchestra.
I live in the suburb of Chicago, and would love to attend as many CSO concerts as possible, but with price starting $60-70 up to $250 per concert, I can't afford to go more than only two three times a year… Parking around the hall costs minimum $15 – $20 for 3 hours… I love classical music and want to take my family and my son to a CSO concert every month, but even with a student ticket (available only for selected concerts, and no guarantee that the seats will be together with adult tickets), it would cost about $200 for my family to attend for a concert. People say classical music is dying, young people are not interested in classical music concerts… then they should make it more accessible for middle/lower class people. Yes, the CSO is a world class orchestra, but this is only for a certain class of people and not for everyone in the community to enjoy.
I totally agree and sympathize, and at those prices I wouldn't go much, either. Unfortunately, it costs a lot of money to run an orchestra, with the cost of 100 musicians having to be covered by 2,200 ticket buyers. But it will cost every bit as much to attend a Bulls game (and even the Cubs might not be much cheaper).
I too live in the far suburbs of Chicago, such that it is difficult if not impossible to get to concerts on the days I want. But if someone innovative — and I have told two musicians and a life trustee this already — would sponsor a BPO-like digital concert hall, I'd be the very first subscriber, and at any price.
No matter where you place a major orchestra like that it will be inconveniently distant for some people who want to hear it.
Sir Andras and the CSO collaborated in some music-making last night that can only be described as "exquisite." Disconcerting however: plenty of empty seats. Does anyone know the %age annual seat sales for CSO, is it a publicly disclosed number as per the Met Opera? I wonder how it would compare with the Solti years, when it was often difficult to get a ticket, and the house was routinely full….
I don't think it actually helps very much for kids to just hear or observe an orchestra. Instead, kids are hooked when they actually play an instrument. Tactile remembrance of an experience makes the connection and attachment work when adults. Kids don't just watch soccer or baseball. Baseball teams don't go into schools to have them observe them playing! They have the kids play, too. Until STEM is across the board STEAM, we are growing musically-atrophied generations.

Loris tardigradus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Loris tardigradus (Linnaeus, 1758)
|Infra-specific Taxa Assessed:
Common Name(s):
Arachnocebus lori Lesson, 1840
Lemur tardigradus Linnaeus, 1758
Loris ceylonicus Fischer, 1804
Loris gracilis É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1796
Loris zeylanicus Lydekker, 1905
Loris tardigradus Hill and Philips, 1932 ssp. tardigradus
Loris gracilis Lydekker, 1905 ssp. zeylanicus
Loris tardigradus Thomas, 1905
|Taxonomic Notes:
|This taxon formerly included Loris lydekkerianus, which has been recently been promoted to full species status (Groves 2001). There is preliminary evidence for two additional subspecies in the Wet Zone of Sri Lanka (Nekaris et al. 2006). The form nycticeboides is a taxonomic variant of tardigradus and not lydekkerianus.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered C2a(i) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Nekaris, A.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B. (Primate Red List Authority)
Listed as Endangered because its population size is estimated to number fewer than 2,500 mature individuals, there is an observed continuing decline in the number of mature individuals, and no subpopulation contains more than 250 mature individuals.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to central and south-western Sri Lanka, and is typically found in the southern "wet zone" of the island, up to the central "intermediate zone" (Nekaris and Jayewardene 2004).
L. t. tardigradus
Found in south-western Sri Lanka, from Colombo (although no known population still exists in this city) in the north to Ranna on the south coast. The subspecies has recently been recorded at several locations in Sri Lanka: Maimbulakanda Nature Reserve in Gampaha District, Western Province; Oliyagankele Forest Reserve, Masmullah, Kakanadura, Dandeniya Proposed Forest Reserve, Matara District; Kanneliya, Polgahaivalakande, and Kottawa Forest Reserves and Pitigala forest patches, Galle District, Southern Province; and in Godakawela, Ratnapura District, and Sinharaja World Heritage site.
Loris tardigradus nycticeboides
Found in central Sri Lanka, where it is known from the Horton Plains, Nuwara Eliya District, Central Province. Extent of occurrence is less than 300 km2.

|All populations are thought to be in decline. Population estimates suggest that there are approximately 1,500 animals of L. t. tardigradus in 3,000 ha of extremely fragmented forests, and about 80 animals in Horton Plains of L. t. nycticeboides. According to Molur et al. (2003) the total population of L. t. nycticeboides is unknown, yet this species has declined by greater than 80% in the last 200 years and is predicted to decline by >20% in the next 10 years. L. t. tardigradus is predicted to decline by greater than 10% in the next 5 years (Molur et al. 2003). These declines are based on the 1:1 relationship between loss of critical habitat and population number. The country has lost 97% of its forest cover (Mill 1995; Myers et al. 2000), thus dramatically reducing the population.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Loris tardigradus tardigradus is found in wet lowland forests (Schulze and Meier 1995), tropical rain, swampy coastal and evergreen forests, and wet zone lowland forest up to 470 m (Molur et al. 2003). Loris t. tardigradus has only been observed to eat animal prey. Although they will eat fruit in a captive setting, they will always choose animal prey first. In addition to insects (including moths, stick insects, dragonflies, beetles, cockroaches, grasshoppers), they relish lizards and geckos. At Masmullah Proposed Forest Reserve, lorises were found in high abundance in areas characterised by Humboldtia laurifolia, a tree that has a mutualistic relationship with ants, providing abundant food for lorises. Lorises occurred at densities of 0.08-0.55 animals/ha across 15 separate sites. Loris abundance was positively associated with vines and branches providing continuous passage, branches of small size (<5 cm) and trees providing a number of potential sleeping sites. Vicinity to human populations negatively impacts this species; it is not found in home gardens, and seems to require continuous canopy to move between forest patches.
Loris t. nycticeboides may possibly be more carnivorous than the lowland subspecies. As is this case with other primates at high altitudes, it also may occur at lower densities. The forest where it occurs has been classified as cloud forest, montane forest and evergreen forest at altitudes greater than 1,500 m (Schulze and Meier 1995), from 1,650 to 2,000 m (Molur et al. 2003). Of actual sightings, the highest was at 2,134 m and the lowest at 1,829 m altitude. Temperatures in its habitat have been recorded from 15.4°C (May/June) to -4°C (Dec/Jan) (Nekaris and Jayewardene 2003; Nekaris et al. 2005; Nekaris and Bearder 2006).
|Major Threat(s):
The threats imposed by humans on Sri Lankan Loris include habitat loss, road kill, and hunting for the pet trade, traditional "medicine," and superstitious killing. Also, lorises have been electrocuted on un-insulated power lines. Loris t. tardigradus exists in few isolated forest patches that are also under severe encroachment by humans. Recent population studies estimate low numbers in forest patches and it is evident that both subspecies are in decline (Nekaris 2003, 2006).
Molur et al. (2003) list the following threats for L. t. nycticeboides: "land and water pollution, habitat loss due to agriculture, dairy husbandry, and vegetable cultivation, as well as local and commercial trade for eyes and meat by tea plantation workers, and possible village level trade for folk medicine". While for L. t. tardigradus major threats are: "deforestation due to urbanization, and local, domestic, and commercial trade for meat" (Molur et al. 2003).
|Conservation Actions:
This species is listed on CITES Appendix II, and is protected under the Fauna and Flora Protection Ordinance Act No. 2, 1937 and subsequent amendments including Act No. 49, 1993 at the species level (Molur et al. 2003).
L. t. tardigradus exists in Sinharaja World Heritage site and seven nature/forest preserves, as well as one proposed forest reserve, while at least one population of L. t. nycticeboides resides in Horton Plains National Park. Despite living in these areas, the survival of the species depends on reduction of habitat loss and the concurrent establishment of corridors between forest fragments. The eradication of local reliance on lorises for traditional "medicine" and use as superstitious scapegoats can only be achieved through education (Nekaris and Jayewardene 2004). Reliable population estimates and a monitoring program are needed for all Sri Lankan loris populations.
Molur et al. (2003) list the following necessary research actions for this species: genetic and taxonomic, life history, population surveying, epidemiology, trade, population genetics, limiting factors, behavior and ecology. Also listed are the following needed management actions: habitat management, wild population management, monitoring, public education, limiting factor management, work in local communities, and Population and Habitat Viability Assessment.

I've written before about children doing chores around the house, but the subject has taken on a whole new light recently.
As the mother of an increasingly independent 13-year-old, I've found my hand delving into my pocket at a mind-boggling rate so she can have some money when she goes out to meet friends.
It's a couple of quid here and there, not huge amounts, but it started to add up.
So when there was an expectation that I'd just fork out every time she wanted to go out to the park with her mates and then pop to the shop for a drink and a packet of crisps, I put on the brakes.
(This coincided with a request for an £87 squad leotard and a £75 tracksuit for gymnastics.)
The deal was this: if you want money, you will have to earn it.
The resistance was huge, of course.
How could she get a job at 13, she opined. The likelihood of her being able to earn a few quid sweeping the floor at a hairdressing salon for a couple of hours a week was scant. A paper round was pretty much out of the question (and I'd end up doing it, no doubt).
The simplest solution – and the best one for me – is for her to earn pocket money by helping us out with household chores. Vacuum the carpets, cleaning the kitchen or bathroom – all this takes time and it's something I'd appreciate hugely.
Some of my friends already do this: one pays her daughter to do the ironing; another pays if she cleans or tidies the house. Another has a paper round, while one earns his pin money by helping out his Sensei to teach little ones karate. None pays their teens to tidy their own bedrooms; the expectation is that they should do this anyway (hah!).
It's all about appreciating the value of money; being responsible and sharing the burden.
Next step is to agree a list of payment for chores. We may need Acas to step in …
Do you pay your teen to help around the house? Or did they get a job at 13 (subject to the restrictions for that age group, of course)?

Pop. Woosh. Pop. Duck. Pop. Woosh.
Around the ring Bronson Russell dances, dodging as his godfather, Rick Russell, swings a padded brown mitt over his head.
Bronson jabs, popping the mitt. He jabs again – his fist creating a wooshing sound as it cuts through air – for good measure, and then uses his arm and shoulder to hook away from the ropes.
"Good," Rick says. "Don't get back in the ropes. I want you to end up here."
Rick points to a spot near the middle of the ring at the Jon Russell Boxing Club in Rock Falls.
The middle of the ring is where the Russell family has been for the last 4 decades, whether it was Rick, or his cousins – a trio of brothers named Jon, Sonny, and Tracy (Bronson's father).
The line doesn't stop there. Bronson's mother (Sabrina) also boxed, as did older brothers Aaron and Ryan and older sisters Jamie and Tracie. Jamie, who just finished her college basketball career at Illinois State University, was good enough that she boxed and often beat boys in her age groups.
Bronson, 16, is the latest to take his swing. He will box for the Chicago Golden Gloves championship at 132 pounds in the novice division today in Cicero. The novice division is for boxers with fewer than 10 matches.
"Technically, I'm not old enough to box in the Golden Gloves, but my coach was able to get them to waive the age requirement," Bronson said. "You're supposed to be 17."
Bronson, who has a career record of 5-3, is a sophomore at Rock Falls High School. While he has played football in the past, he has decided to give up the gridiron to focus on his dream of becoming a professional boxer when he turns 18.
"I liked football, but this is what I've dreamed of doing my whole life," Bronson said. "I decided I'd focus on training for boxing."
He works with his manager, Al Silva, 5 days a week. On the weekends, he meets Rick for extra work in the ring.
"There's no such thing as luck in boxing," Rick tells Bronson. "It's all about conditioning."
Bronson nods his head and starts to work over one of the bags hanging outside of the ring.
"He has to work the body more," Rick says. "In some of the other matches in this tournament, he'd have won earlier by working the body. The other kids wouldn't have lasted with that."
Bronson recruited Rick to come down to help him. The prospect of returning to the club appealed to Rick.
"I hadn't been down here for a few years," Rick said. "Bronson showed up at my door one day and asked for some help.
"I got back down here, and there were so many kids. Al does a great job, but with that many kids, it's hard to give each one the individual attention. So I come down when I can to help out."
Rick and Bronson know their last name has become synonymous with boxing in the Sauk Valley. Bronson just hopes that he can add another successful chapter.
"I've been running around down here since I was 2 years old," Bronson said. "I didn't become too serious until I was 12 years old. It's just something that we all do."
Bronson Russell file
Age: 16
High School: Rock Falls
Parents: Tracy and Sabrina
Brothers: Ryan, 27; Aaron, 25
Sisters: Jamie, 23; Tracie, 18.

PETA's campaigns to save animals are legendary and in some cases quite controversial. Aside from ongoing activities like providing vegetarian starter kits, producing programs that give students alternatives to animal dissection, and lobbying government agencies in support of animal-friendly policies, PETA has also run dramatic advertising campaigns including one in which famous actresses appeared clad only in vegetables as part of the "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign, and another in an anti-dairy campaign where former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who had prostate cancer, was pictured on a billboard with a milk moustache, under the headline, "Got Prostate Cancer?"
Newkirk is someone with revolutionary ideas who recognizes that small changes are better than none, and that these small changes gradually accumulate. Her new book, Making Kind Choices: Everyday Ways to Enhance Your Life Through Earth- and Animal-Friendly Living, consists of several dozen short chapters, each of which highlights a particular animal-related issue (such as how to recognize animal ingredients in packaged foods, how to find cosmetics not tested on animals, how to travel safely with animals, how to bake a vegan cake, and why some people choose not to wear wool or silk). Each chapter offers resources (books, websites, and more) for those who wish to further educate themselves.
In this interview with Daniel Redwood, Newkirk tells how she went from being a meat eater to a vegan who neither eats nor wears any animal products. It's a fascinating story of a woman with a mission, one who does not shy away from controversy or confrontation and who has been able to reach millions with her message. The number of animals whose lives have been saved or improved through her efforts is incalculable.

Phone: 757-622-PETA
DANIEL REDWOOD: Your new book, Making Kind Choices, is at its heart a book about consciousness, about being aware of what we are doing rather than living unconsciously. It's clear that the awareness of how our actions affect animals is of the utmost importance to you. What core beliefs led you to dedicate your life to protecting animals?
INGRID NEWKIRK: I was always drawn to animals in trouble, partially because I grew up in India where the suffering of animals is very apparent. There are starving dogs on the street, and there are overloaded beasts of burden everywhere you look. And there are animals being pulled out of baskets who are emaciated and who are made to perform so that people can earn a few rupees. So it was in front of me. A second part is probably because my mother had always worked for human charities as a volunteer, and so our home was always full of people in need and she always opened our house, too, to animals in need. She used to say it doesn't matter who suffers, but how. So I grew up in that kind of atmosphere, of worrying about those who had little or nothing. It was just part of her world. So we were always packing pills for the lepers and rolling bandages for them, stuffing toys for orphans, and feeding strays.

(Reuters) - A mediator overseeing creditor negotiations in Nortel Networks' bankruptcy said on Tuesday he is extending talks over how to distribute about $9 billion in cash at the fallen telecom.
Ontario Chief Justice Warren Winkler said in a statement the mediation, scheduled to end at noon on Tuesday, had been extended, but did not say for how long.
A spokesman for the mediator declined to give detail on the length of the extension.
Nortel, once the largest telecoms equipment maker in North America, filed for bankruptcy in 2009, hampered by accounting problems and failing to recover from the burst of the 1990s tech bubble. It went on to raise $9 billion after selling its assets, but never resolved how to divide the value among creditors in Canadian, U.S. and European insolvency proceedings.
Winkler, as mediator, has been trying to reach a settlement to allocate that money through more than a week of talks in a Toronto hotel.
Dividing the money has proven a vexing exercise, one Winkler called "one of the most complex transnational legal proceedings in history.

SD8009 : Pack Horse Hotel
taken 7 years ago, near to Fishpool, Bury, Great Britain
The A56
The A56 is an important regional road across northwest England, and one of the two major roads through the city of Manchester (the other being the A6). It runs for 81 miles between the city of Chester in Cheshire and the village of Broughton in North Yorkshire via a mixture of single and dual carriageway sections.
The road was once a trunk route from Chester as far as Burnley but now, only the short dual carriageway section between the M66 and M65 remains a designated as trunk route, and the road has largely been superseded by the faster A51/A54/A556 (and later the M56), and the M66/M65.

Before beginning hemodialysis treatment, a person needs an access to their bloodstream, called a vascular access. The access allows the patient's blood to travel to and from the dialysis machine at a large volume and high speed so that toxins, waste and extra fluid can be removed from the body.
There are two types of vascular access:
The fistula and graft are permanent accesses placed under the skin. When patients find out they are in the advanced stages of chronic kidney disease and will need dialysis, their nephrologist will advise them to get a fistula or graft. Having the access in place well before beginning dialysis will give this lifeline time to "mature," so it can be ready to use.
When patients suddenly discover they have kidney failure, a catheter may be placed to allow for immediate dialysis treatment. The catheter will be used until a fistula or graft has time to mature.
An AV fistula is created by directly connecting a person's artery and vein—usually in the arm. This procedure may be performed as an outpatient operation using a local anesthetic. As blood flows to the vein from the newly connected artery, the vein grows bigger and stronger. The patient is taught to do exercises—such as squeezing a rubber ball—to help the fistula mature for use. This takes six weeks to four months. Once the fistula has matured, it can provide good blood flow for many years of hemodialysis.
The benefits of a fistula compared to other access types include:
Some of the drawbacks include:
Not everyone may be able to have a fistula due to various conditions; discuss your access options with your doctor, but ask for a fistula first.
The AV graft is similar to a fistula, in that it connects the artery and vein under the skin, except that a manmade tubing connects the artery and vein. It's about one-half inch in diameter and is made from a type of Teflon or Gore-Tex material. Transplanted animal or human vessels may also be used as grafts. They're usually placed in the arm, but can also be placed in the thigh.
Grafts don't require as much time to mature as fistulas, because they don't need time to enlarge before using. Usually a graft can be used about two to six weeks after placement. Because grafts are created from materials outside of the body, they tend to have more problems than fistulas due to clotting and infections and may need to be repaired or replaced each year.
Here are things you can do to take care of your access.
1) Keep your access area clean and free of any trauma. Your dialysis care team will teach you how to carefully wash it before each treatment. Look for signs of infection,including pain, tenderness, swelling or redness around your access area. Also, be aware of any fever and flu-like symptoms. If you do get an infection and catch it early, it can usually be treated with antibiotics.
2) Protect your access from any restriction or trauma by:
Learn to feel the vibration of blood going through your access and check it several times a day. Call your dialysis care team immediately if the flow stops or changes, as this could be a blood clot has formed and needs to be treated.
Learn to listen with a stethoscope to the sound of blood flowing through your access. If the sound changes to a higher pitch, like a whistle, it could be an indication that blood vessels are narrowing. Call your dialysis care team if you notice any change in your access.
3) Prevent tearing or damage to your access by paying attention to the needle stick locations when you're being put on dialysis. The arterial and venous needle tips should be at least two inches apart from each other, as well as away from access surgical scars. The new needle stick sites should be at least one-fourth inch from the sites used the time before. Allow about two weeks for healing of previous sites to help maintain the health of the access.
Ask your nephrologist and dialysis care team about numbing creams to reduce the pain and fear of needle sticks.
Many patients find they prefer having control of the needle stick process (self-cannulation). When you self-cannulate, you can control and participate in this part of your vascular access care and treatment. Ask your care team about training.
After treatment, your needles will be removed and you will need to apply pressure with sterile gauze over your needle sites to stop the bleeding. Your team will provide you with clean gloves and teach you the proper procedures to stop bleeding as well as prevent infection.
When hemodialysis patients insert their own dialysis needles into a dialysis graft or fistula, it is called self-cannulation. Home hemodialysis (HHD) patients must self-cannulate, or have their care partner insert their dialysis needles for them. There are two common forms of self-cannulation. Learn about the rope ladder technique and the buttonhole technique.Learn More »
Every dialysis patient has to have either vascular access or PD catheter placement surgery, depending on the type of dialysis they choose. Learn more about vascular access and catheter placement surgery.Learn More »
You and your doctor should discuss and decide which access will be best for you. Learning about the different access types enables you to understand the pros and cons of each. You'll also be able to have a more thorough conversation with your doctor since you are more familiar with your access options.Learn More »

The tech journalists don't seem all that eager to look at the dozens of social mobile apps that still download your address book information from your phone (because they haven't been able to push their update yet). As I've said over and over, the fact that Path did this was annoying, but in my opinion not that big of a deal. Still, the company has been eviscerated.
At some point the press, or someone, will go to the trouble of looking at all the apps and figuring out who's doing this. I'll just kick things off by pointing out that one of the most popular social apps, Foursquare, is definitely part of this party.
The surface evidence is clear – I created a new foursquare account on my iPhone and it immediately told me that 402 of my contacts were on Foursquare and suggested I connect with them.
There are theoretical (but highly unlikely) ways Foursquare could connect me with them without uploading my contacts, but it's highly unlikely. So a developer I know went to the trouble to proxy the iPhone through Charles Proxy to sniff the traffic. It showed a substantial amount of data being uploaded to Foursquare from the phone immediately before the screen above was shown with contact information. We perused that data, and it included email addresses and phone numbers for everyone in the phone contacts.
Does this excuse Path? No. But unlike Foursquare and others, (the relatively tiny) Path was proactively changing this before the press hit, which is why their updated app was available and approved the day after the initial stories. That means Path is significantly less evil than Foursquare. And Foursquare is, in my opinion, not evil at all.
Even if they're also trying to kill Egyptian dissidents like Path.
My recommendation to Foursquare is exactly the same as it was for Path – just nuke all the data and move on. Just because everyone else does this doesn't mean Foursquare and Path (two apps I love) should.
Who's next? Let's just pull the bandaid off and get this over with. And let's point the blame where it should be pointed, or at least where it will do some good – at the platform which permits this. That would be Apple.
It would be awesome if the tech press changed the focus from "Path is evil" to "this needs to be fixed by Apple." That would be one option. The other would be to just continue to scream uninformed invectives at anyone who's trying to have an actual conversation about the issue.
Disclosure: CrunchFund is not an investor in Foursquare, but we'd sure love to be. That's probably some kind of conflict of interest.

|Editing grub to run 2 distros?

|Editing grub to run 2 distros?
just installed Blag 30000 and it's wonderful. Blag is the best kept secret in Linux.
How, when and what do I do to run Fedora Core 3 alongside Blag on the same drive. I left space for it and I've read alot of stuff about editing the grub on the second distro which will give me a dual boot start up screen so I have a choice of booting into either. There is no Windows on the machine.
I'm a relative newbie and would appreciate simple terminology to do do this as I've tried it from reading the technical books and ended up only being able to boot into the second distro.
Hoping you can help me understand this better. Then one day Ill maybe learn how to be able to boot into a choice of 2 drives!

Try adding something like this to your /etc/grub.conf:
title BLAG (2.6.10-1.770_FC3)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 ro root=/dev/hda3
initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.770_FC3.img
title Fedora Core 3 (2.6.9-1.681_FC3)
root (hd0,6)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.681_FC3smp ro root=/dev/hda8
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.img
You will need to change:
vmlinuz-XXX to your kernel versions
root (hd0,0)
and root=/dev/foo depending upon your partitioning setup.
Note, you can add this to the /end/ of the grub.conf. You don't have to replace what's in there already, so you don't break things and lock yourself out.

Oh, also, if you haven't installed FC3 yet, you should be able to do it side-by-side in it's installer.
It may get a bit confused though, cuz it will say LABEL=/ or something...
If you haven't installed FC3 yet...you might as well just save the space for music. ;)

Thanks Jebba,
Yes I suppose it's a bit redundant putting FC3 alongside Blag
It's just that I want to be able to do it. It doesn't matter which distro. I just like to fiddle with things as a sort of hobby.
I know it's a stupid question but do I edit the grub on Blag or the second distro to pick up Blag?
I've tried a lot of different distros but Blag works better than any of the more well known names.

Gotcha. If you want to explore GNU/Linux distros, I recommend to try these:
Gentoo: if you want to explore compiling all the applications on your distro. This can be a bit complex and resource intensive, but gentoo implements it very well.
Ubuntu: a relatively recent distro which is based on debian. Debian itself is a very stable huge community based distro, which is excellent (especially in server environments).
Knoppix, or any of the LiveCDs. Another nice live cd, which is epecially media-based, is dynebolic.
If you want to explore a Free OS outside of the Linux realm, see OpenBSD. "Only one remote hole in the default install, in more than 8 years!" It's an extremely clean OS, with an exception firewall, but NetBSD appears to have the best cryptoFS of the Free OSes.

Thanks for all the feeback Jebba,
It's a long learning curve and I've only known about Linux for 4 months. I wouldn't go back for anything.
You didn't answer one little point about which distro to edit the Grub.conf. Is it the existing Blag or on the other distro I install next?
I don't install second grub to the MBR do I?
Do I say no to installing the second Grub anywhere?
I hope this all makes sense?
Thanks for your patience

You can use the grub installed by the subsequent OS or the one installed by blag. If the "next" OS you install detects blag it may add both OSes to grub automatically. I think it will vary from distro to distro, but they should detect it. Or during the next install you should be able to add it manually.
So, in sum, you can do it either way. Probably easiest to use the grub from your next OS install.

Well, it all depends. When you installed distro A, you probably told it to install Grub in MBR, so your system boots. So basically, yo've got this little bit of code sitting in MBR, and in partition that belongs to your distro A, there is a config file in /boot/grub/menu.lst. The bit of code in MBR refers to that config file, and all is peachy.
OK, so now you're installing distro B, and it asks you about installing bootloader... and you've got a choice. You can go ahead and install new bootloader. This will put a new bit of code in MBR, that will refer to /boot/grub/menu.lst of the distro you've just installed, distro B. This one probably doesn't know anything about distro A (well, maybe it detected its presence, but let's assume it didn't). So you have to tell it about distro A, by making appropriate entry in its config file - in other words, in /boot/grub/menu.lst of distro B.
Or, you can tell distro B NOT to install its bootloader. In this case, your old grub is left sitting in MBR, and it is still pointing to menu.lst file in distro A. It doesn't know anything about distro B you've just installed, so you have to tell it, by booting into distro A and changing its menu.lst accordingly.
Actually, you might have a third option: tell distro B to install bootloader, but in root partition rather than in MBR. What does that mean? Well, when the system boots, it will look in MBR, it will find your old Grub (from distro A) in there, and boot accordingly. So why bother installing new grub in root partition? Just because this is an easy way of finding out what entry distro B needs - see what got written in menu.lst of distro B, and simply copy it to menu.lst in distro A! It's just an easy way of making sure you'll have all those "append " and "initrd" and what-not entries your new distro needs to boot properly...

|continued, now registered :)
... and if after reading the above you'd still like to know what to do, well, I'll tell you :) I think the easiest course of action is to install the new bootloader. But first of all, before you start installing the new distro, write down (on paper) the contents of your existing menu.lst. THEN install the new distro, and install its new bootloader. Then you can modify its menu.lst with entry for the old distro, and you're good to go. This is the easiest way because you don't have to figure anything out - it's all done for you by the respective installers. The correct entry for your distro A was made by your old installer way back, and the entry for distro B was made by its installer as well; all you have to do is copy and paste. Plus, doing it this way saves you a reboot or two.

Wow. Thanks for that explanation--very clear & covered it all.
One thing I'd like to point out that the grub configuration file can vary from distro to distro. In BLAG & FC3, & many others it's /boot/grub/grub.conf. There is also a symlink from there to /etc/grub.conf
In other distros (such as Debian & it's derivatives) the file is /boot/grub/menu.lst. The file has the same function.
You can re-install the MBR with the OS you are booted into with `grub-install /dev/hda`, for example. When you update the grub config file, you don't have to re-run grub-install (unlike lilo). You just need to run it if you want to change which grub config file is authroritative.
Happy trails & let us know what you find interesting in other distros. :)

BANGKOK (AP) — A bar musician accused of stabbing an American tourist to death in southern Thailand has been released on bail, police said Friday.
Police Col. Boontawee Toraksa said three band members at a bar in the southern resort town of Ao Nang were arrested after the attack early Wednesday on Bobby Ray Carter Jr., 51, a Texas resident. He said they were charged with causing death by physical attack, punishable by up to 15 years' imprisonment.
Boontawee said a court granted bail Thursday to the man who allegedly stabbed Carter, Ratikorn Romin, 27, over police objections, while his band mates were ordered held.
Police said Carter argued with the musicians in the bar where they had been playing and was stabbed with an iron rod during a confrontation when they went outside.
The dead man's son, Adam Carter, 27, was wounded in the arm and was treated at a hospital and released.
A woman who described herself as Carter's cousin, Kiki Bower of Dallas, Texas, said that according to Carter's wife Kelly, who was present during the incident, Carter had not provoked the violence.
Police said Carter's wife and son were to be interviewed Friday, but details of their testimony were not available. They did not respond to repeated requests for interviews, and Bower said they were too distraught to talk to reporters.
Police said Thursday that according to their preliminary investigation, Carter was drunk, began singing with the band and refused to leave the stage to let other customers sing.
"Witnesses said Carter got angry when the band played 'Hotel California' instead of the song he requested, and he refused to step down," police chief Col. Taksin Pochakorn said. He said the band then stopped playing and Carter and his son got into an argument with the musicians.
"We appreciate the swift action by the Thai police to capture the three men who took Bobby's life and are calling on the Thai justice system to hold these criminals accountable to the fullest extent of the law for this senseless loss of life," Bower said in an email.
More than 22 million foreigners visited Thailand last year. Most tourists encounter no serious problems, but several high-profile deaths and other incidents have prompted calls for greater safety.
In June, a group of European ambassadors visited the tourist island of Phuket to urge officials to do more to ensure foreigners are safe.
Wiyada Srirangkul, director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand's Krabi provincial office, expressed regret over Carter's death and said it "definitely gives a negative image to the province's tourism."
"Fatal incidents like this are rare, since Krabi usually attracts foreign tourists who come in families or travelers who seek tranquility," she said, adding that there aren't many clusters of bars except in Ao Nong where the killing occurred. She said Krabi had 2.9 million visitors last year.
"The authorities are trying to speed up the case and make sure justice is given to every side," Wiyada said. "Police will also need to make sure incidents like this do not happen again."
National Tourism Police chief Maj. Gen. Roy Inkabhairoj said authorities "have taken all necessary measures to provide safety to foreign tourists, but this kind of situation is sometimes beyond our control."
"It was a quarrel between the dead man and the suspects. This is something that's hard for us to prevent," he said. "What we could do once it happened was to catch the suspects, and we did that quickly right at the bar."

easy way to get an important feature lacking for years;
it makes free software more attractive; the ability to freely combine two major applications will attract users in particular from academia.
A Discussion Paper introducing the project has been added. Please send comments to email@example.com."
from fm: "WIKINDX is a multi-user, Internet-based bibliographic management system that allows users to search and share quotes, notes, and bibliographies. Bibliographies can be formatted for a variety of style guides (MHRA, Harvard, APA, etc.). The program can export to RTF and BibTeX and import BibTeX files."
Bibliography spec and tool links
John J. Lee writes: "Bruce D'Arcus and I (mostly Bruce, actually) have put up a relatively comprehensive list of interesting open standards and open-source software related to bibliographies and cataloging. Currently, the emphasis is on the needs of individuals and small groups rather than libraries, but given the growing overlap in the interests of these groups, the list is likely to expand to some extent to cover more library software."
from fm: "ParaTools is a set of Perl modules for the handling of document references. It includes two citation parsers, a document parser, OpenURL support, Web service examples, and detailed documentation. The toolkit is available as open source, and has been designed to be easily expandable. The parsing functionality in ParaTools is already in use in the ParaCite system."
Michael wrote in that "Bibdesk is a Mac OS X bibtex database GUI. Plans for its future include networked access and searching and support for other file formats." Interesting addition of RSS features, too.
From the oddbook site, it's: "a little php app to help you keep track of your obsessive reading... [which] will let you keep track of your books via a series of web forms. Authors are accessed via pulldown list so no author typos munging up your data. You can sort your booklist by month, by author, title, or rating. You can also mess with the CSS to make it look however you want." If you've enjoyed keeping up with Greg's and Jessamyn's respective reading, well, now we can enjoy keeping up with yours too.
as seen on zope-announce: "The zNote XML-based Bibliography Management Tool is now in v0.6, which makes it a proper Python-classed product. Also new is full XML import and export, and the ability to choose from multiple bibliographic styles. zNote requires ParsedXML 1.2.1b or better."
