Hillsborough supervisor of elections rejects criticism
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Voters in Hillsborough County have received Voting Guides from the Supervisor of Elections Office over the past few weeks, in anticipation of next week's primary. But there's criticism for that seemingly uncontroversial mail piece. That's because in the left-hand corner of the front page of the mailer, a symbol says: "It's up to you to vote" and next to the word vote is Buddy Johnson's name.
Over the weekend, the St. Petersburg Times reported that two county vans have been painted with reminders that Florida has switched to paper ballots. The vans show large pens on each side that say: "Voting with a paper trail," along with Johnson's name and title. His name and title also are on the back.
Johnson's potential challenger in November's election, Democrat Phyllis Busansky, is blasting the vans, calling them a subtle campaign advertisement. She told the Times: "The state has not mandated him to use those funds for his own personal campaigning. I think he's just desperate."
WMNF spoke with Supervisor of Elections Buddy Johnson yesterday about the recent controversy.comments powered by Disqus

Obituary Padma Kant Shukla
Padma Kant Shukla 1950-2013.
Past Chair of C16
Professor Padma Kant Shukla passed away on the 26th of January in New Delhi, India, just after receiving the prestigious Hind Rattan (Jewel of India) Award. He was born in the village Tulapur, Uttar Pradesh (UP), India and was educated there. After his Ph.D. in Physics from Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, he obtained his second doctorate degree in Theoretical Plasma Physics from Umea University under the supervision of one of us (Lennart Stenflo). He worked at the Faculty of Physics & Astronomy, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany since January 1973, where he was a permanent faculty member and Professor of International Affairs, a position that was created for him to honour his international accomplishments and reputation.
Padma was a great friend, colleague and collaborator. He was passionate about science and had an infectious enthusiasm that touched everyone who knew him. Padma was an inspiration to those around him and was responsible for discovering and mentoring young scientific talents around the world – national borders were no barriers when it came to scientific collaborations. For this he was honoured the 2005 APS Nicholson Medal for Human Outreach by the American Physical Society. Padma also received the prestigious 2006 Gay-Lussac/Humboldt Prize from the French Ministry of Education and Research. He is the First Laureate of the 22nd Khwarizmi International Award from the IROST, Iran.
Padma was undoubtedly one of the world's most renowned plasma physicists. He pioneered and developed many plasma physics topics that we are researching on today. He had wide ranging research interests in multidisciplinary sciences including basic and nonlinear physics, nonlinear geophysical flows, atmospheric physics and environmental sciences. He was a prodigious publisher with more than 1500 authored papers and is one of the most cited plasma physicists.
His list of honorary appointments are impressive and include visiting professorships at the Department of Physics, Umea University, Sweden and at the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance (SUPA) Department of Physics, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland (UK), as well as a full professorship at GoLP/Centre for Plasma Physics and Nuclear Fusion, IST, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal, an honorary professorship at the School of Physics, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa, a distinguished adjunct professorship at COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan, and an adjunct professorship at National Physics Centre, Islamabad, Pakistan. He has honorary doctorates from the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow and the Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal. In addition, he is Fellow of the American Physical Society, Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK), and Corresponding Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (Scotland, UK), a Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, and an Associate Member of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (Trieste, Italy).
Padma was a powerful character, and an extraordinary worker, motivating people around him. He used to say "You are born to carry out your work, without hoping to be rewarded". And also: "Do not forget your roots, but adopt the society in which you live". His homeland was Germany and Europe, which he adopted and where he worked. He was honoured by many universities and scientific organisations around the globe. He was not only an excellent teacher and mentor, but was also conscious of giving something back. Since 1989, Padma was co-organiser of the plasma physics activities (Summer Colleges and Workshops in Plasma Physics) at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste (Italy). At the centre, he interacted with young scientists from all over the world, encouraging them to work on new ideas. This gained him respect from all generations for his vision and imagination.
We have lost not only a great scientist but a dear friend.
He is survived by his wife Ranjana and sons Prashant, Predhiman and Pushpesh.

New illustrations for The Wind in the Willows, with flavours of the modern age: makers, artisans, steampunks, hipsters. It's all here!
Update 3.12.2013: Stretch goals have been revealed!
For more details and an audio demo, read this update.
DONE! - $7,500: A professionally recorded audiobook, spoken word only, will be distributed with every contribution of $15 and above. Free stuff!
DONE! - $8,500: The same audiobook will feature music from the incredibly awesome Crooked Fiddle Band, who will generously contribute as much music as I wish to include from their current (and substantial) body of work.
$11,500: The Crooked Fiddle Band will write and record a song especially for the audiobook.
The Concept
It's unlikely that Wind in the Willows needs much of an introduction. It's an international children's classic about some bright, adventurous animals who act a lot like people (occasionally they seem to be the size of actual people, which is a bit weird and poses some illustration challenges) and get up to all sorts of shenanigans. Set around the time of the industrial revolution, with all its mass-production, waste and environmental damage, the deeper concerns of the characters are remarkably similar to the concerns we face today. It's brilliant.
Makers, artisans and craftspeople have been around for a very long time, too. They are also brilliant. Aesthetics, craftsmanship and traditional skill are prized among these adroit folk, and their skills are increasingly sought after in the wider community. In the last few years the number of makers seems to be growing, and self-sufficiency, DIY, recycling, skill-sharing and the rejection of wasteful mass-production are also on the rise.
One of the key messages of Wind in the Willows and the modern maker movement is the same: Yes, it is very shiny and new, but do you really have to buy another mass-produced, gas-guzzling SUV, Mr. Toad?
Steam in the Willows is about celebrating and weaving both of these fine things together.
Tl:dr? Here's the very simple visual version:
But it's not Steampunk enough!
This project is about Makers, Artisans and Steampunks, the people making things in our world right now, and the effect they are having on the way we view craftsmanship and consumerism. It's not about re-telling the Wind in the Willows as a Steampunk story. Need the longer version? Read this update.
The Books
If funded, this project will produce an E-book, a Black and White Paperback and a Colour Hardcover. There will be 40+ richly detailed illustrations in all editions: twelve full-page spreads and numerous vignettes scattered throughout. The first books printed as rewards for this Kickstarter will be limited edition, with additional art and character designs that won't appear in any books printed afterwards.
Having worked recently on projects like the Steampunk Bible, Eidolon, The Electrodyne Opera, and Liebling, An Adventurous Life, and the whimsical output in my own portfolio, I am right at home producing professional work with both a steampunk flair and a joyful, childhood spirit.
Here's a very rough example of how the illustrations may look in situ:
That's neat! I have all these ideas for art you should do...
I am keen to hear them! Designs for the main characters are already established but if you, as a contributor, feel like I am absolutely missing a trick by not making the Chief Weasel look like Mark Frauenfelder, you are probably right!
Not everything will make it into the book, of course, but if you came up with a smashing idea that I use as inspiration, I will include the designs on a special page in the limited edition books with credit to you.
If your reward tier includes original art, you can even choose to have art of the character you helped create. How neat is that?
The Rewards
I take my reward making very seriously, as this video demonstrates.
Oh, and then there's the other rewards...
Greeting Cards
There's Ratty, having a jolly nice and relaxing afternoon. Just makes you want to mess about in boats, doesn't it? This is the first of 3 full-colour designs.
Blank inside, A6 size, printed on recycled 350gsm card, with envelopes.
Sketching / Note Journal
Blank paper conveniently stitched together and wrapped in a stylish and handsome cover. It's called a Journal: what a brilliant invention!
Printed colour cover with 64 blank internal pages.
Saddle stitch, recycled paper and cover, rounded corners for ease of sliding in and out of pockets.
Hand-made Bow-tie
Bow-ties are, as we all know, cool. These bow-ties aren't just cool, they are hand-stitched, completely one-of-a-kind and made from recycled shirts (no armpit areas will be used - that's a guarantee!).
Adjustable sizing. Colours and patterns will vary (although I will try to match any requests as closely as possible).
Original character drawing
A drawing of the character of your choice having a lovely time. What could be better on your wall?
Graphite on 300gsm paper, 18 x 28 cm, signed.
Original Painting
An original watercolour painting of the character of your choice, looking all adorable and whatnot. This is the only thing that could be better to have on your wall than the sketch!
Watercolour on 300gsm cotton paper, 28 x 37cm, signed.
Painting things traditionally is a rather expensive game. The funding will go towards materials, preparing the books for their various formats, registration with distributors, rewards and shipping. If there's anything left over, I may use it to buy myself a small, celebratory cup-cake.
Here's a percentage breakdown:
40%: Painting materials, 12 month subscription to InDesign and Photoshop, 12 dedicated hours a week to work on the paintings, with an estimated 26 weeks to completion (I will be working for less than minimum wage and surviving largely on kitten smiles and couch fluff, but it will allow me to keep the project on time).
35%: Book printing (based on print-on-demand costings with Lightning Source), set-up and registration fees for distribution, ISBNs, postage.
15%: Printing for greeting cards, sketching journals and materials for the bow-ties.
8-10%: Kickstarter fees
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
At present, I am the only person working on this project. All of the art, book design, formatting, organisation and distribution will rest solely on these bony shoulders. Therefore illness, injury or my arms spontaneously shooting off my body and leaving town may stall the project, but I would aim to keep my contributors well informed about how things are progressing. I am prepared to learn to paint with my feet if necessary.
Lightning Source is a well-established and reputable printing company, so I am confident in printing with them. I've chosen print on demand because it will greatly reduce the cost of postage (books will be printed in the country they are ordered from, rather than all posted out of Australia which would be ludicrous) and it will mean the books will always be in print, should you decide to buy a copy once the Kickstarter is complete.
Formatting the books will be a challenge, but as someone who has worked on commercially printed projects in the past I feel pretty confident about that, too. I will be teaching myself how to do this, with guidance from friends in the publishing industry who have volunteered to look the finished work over. Feedback and revisions may cause delays in the formatting, but I will keep backers well informed on that front.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

TEAMS: Carolina Hurricanes, Phoenix Coyotes, Ottawa Senators
Derek Joslin, the extra defenseman in Sunday's game at Florida, was filling in today for center Brandon Sutter in practice at the RBC Center. Joslin was at center with Anthony Stewart and Andreas Nodl on the fourth line, and also scored on the shootout that ended practice. Canes coach Kirk Muller said Sutter was taking a maintenance day for a lower-body concern but would play this week against the Phoenix Coyotes and Ottawa Senators heading into the Christmas break. "He needed some fixin' up," Muller said of Sutter. Muller said the toughest part of the pre-Christmas schedule was focusing on the work at hand. "There's a lot of distractions right now, families coming in," Muller said. "We're all human beings. It's a big celebration time of the year, obviously. "That's what we talked about today, that we've had a good focus so far the last five or six games. We've got two games left ... and need to be prepared and be ready t...

Six area law agencies receive more than $1 million for training, equipment
RICHMOND - Six area law enforcement agencies will receive more than $1 million in grants for new equipment and training.
The grants, announced Wednesday by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, were part of $33 million approved for more than 100 law enforcement agencies across the state. The money is part of a $115 million fraud settlement the state received from Abbott Labs.
"Public safety is a chief concern of mine as attorney general. My attorneys, investigators, and I work side-by-side with police and sheriffs' departments on gang prevention, rooting out Internet predators, and stopping human trafficking," Cuccinelli said in a press release. "That partnership only strengthens the tremendous respect we have for the work they do."
The biggest receipt of grant money regionally was the Chesterfield County Police Department, which will receive $558,752. The money will be used to: fund training for four officers for the HailStorm Training in Florida; to purchase the StingRay I to HailStorm Upgrade, which will allow officers to transmit and receive communication signals from targeted cell devices; the Harpoon PA Kit, Harpoon Dual Band C, Harpoon Dual Band70, which all amplifies the transmission signal from HailStorm to larger receiving areas; HailStorm software; an AmberJack, which is an antenna upgrade; and Taser weapons, holsters, batteries and other materials.
Other area law enforcement agencies that received grants include:
- The Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Office will receive $265,000 to purchase mobile computers for use in the field to enhance time management and increase efficiency.
- The Prince George Police Department will receive $112,934 for equipment for a school resource officer, including vehicle, vehicle equipment and uniform through the Virginia School Resource Officer/School Security Officer Grant Program. The county will also install and deploy a Net Motion Wireless Solution for secure data connection for police units from mobile units in the field, specifically 10 mobile data terminals for patrol cars, and accompanying equipment and software.
- The Hopewell Police Department will receive $29,639 to purchase tactical supplies and equipment that facilitates SWAT team training that is responsive to today's violent, criminal behavior. The purchase and use of ballistic shields, breaching equipment, noise cancelling communications headsets and marked non-lethal training ammunition will positively impact the SWAT teams and patrol officers' state of readiness, provide realistic training, and increase the likelihood of a safe controlled response to an active shooter or hostage taking event.
- The Petersburg Sheriff's Office will receive $27,610 to update technology infrastructure to allow for better communication within the office, as well as with local, state and federal police forces.
- The Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office will receive $46,900 to purchase 70 new body armor vests.

New energy technologies showcased in Aichi Expo
Staff writer
NAGAKUTE, Aichi Pref. -- An 18,000-year-old woolly mammoth and robots that do everything except brush your teeth drew lots of squeals from excited visitors during a preview of the World Exposition in Aichi Prefecture.
Only slightly less popular, and arguably far more important to the future of mankind, was an exhibit of new environmentally friendly energy technologies expected to replace fossil fuels and nuclear power within this century.
The special three-day preview of the expo was held through Sunday, ahead of its official start this Friday.
Beside a group of pavilions representing African nations is the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization's pavilion. NEDO, a quasi-governmental organization made up of corporations, utilities, government officials and academics, explores new energy technologies.
Power generation at the NEDO pavilion comes from three different kinds of fuel-cell batteries, which provide 100 percent of the electric power needs for NEDO and the nearby Japan pavilion.
NEDO is offering tours of its new energy plant, located on the ground floor of the pavilion. On display are three kinds of fuel cells: solid oxide, molten carbonate and phosphoric acid.
The huge fuel cells, each nearly the size of a boxcar, can generate about 2,180 kilowatts of power, enough for the power consumption of about 900 households, and emit no greenhouse gases or pollutants.
Fuel for the cells comes from wood left over from the construction of the expo site as well as daily garbage, which is picked up at various locations around the site and transferred to the NEDO center.
By using an advanced high-temperature gasification system that can process about 20 kg per hour, wood waste is turned into carbon dioxide and oxygen, which fuel the batteries. In a separate methane fermentation system, garbage is transformed into methane gas and has the added advantage of reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
The water produced by heat from the fuel cells is being used to partially air condition the NEDO pavilion.
The NEDO pavilion also features the latest in solar power technology, which is being used to supply some of the expo's energy needs.
The potential for new energy technologies such as fuel cells and solar power to eventually replace fossil fuels and nuclear power has long been recognized.
But the key question is when such replacement will occur.
Advocates of the continued use of fossil fuel and nuclear power are often skeptical of or hostile to the potential of new energy forms to play a major role within the next century. They say such energy forms are more costly and sometimes less reliable than conventional energy supplies.
But advocates of new energy technologies insist that alternate energy sources could replace fossil fuels and nuclear power in most areas of the world within a decade, given sufficient political backing.
Yuko Yasunaga, director of NEDO's policy planning and coordination department, says alternate energies like those on display at the Aichi Expo will be the answer in the future.
"Fossil fuels and nuclear power will continue to play an important role in the next few decades," he said. "But by the end of the century, most experts, and even groups like the International Atomic Energy Agency, would agree that fuel cells and solar power are expected to largely replace fossil fuels and nuclear power."
From a technological standpoint, the potential for replacement could happen a lot sooner than the official predictions, he said.
"Over the past 30 years, costs for solar power have decreased drastically, and many Japanese companies are now the world leaders in solar technology, while fuel cell technology has advanced more rapidly than many predicted," he said.
Thirty-five years ago, at the Osaka Expo, another form of new energy was trumpeted as cheap and environmentally friendly.
A flashing neon sign proudly told visitors that electricity was being supplied commercially in Japan for the first time by a nuclear power plant in Fukui Prefecture.
In 2005, it is solar, wind and above all fuel cells that are being touted as the future.
"New energy technologies still have a ways to go. But in recent years, the government has gotten serious about funding research and development of such new technologies, and we've seen budget increases year after year," Yasunaga said.

This was Hispanic Heritage Month? Already? Well, that's what the TV news guy claimed. I sipped my claret. The guy kept on talking. Oh, yeah. September 15 to October 15. Man, but this past year had sailed by fast. My brain grew too old to keep up with my calendar.
I'd done nothing to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month. I could almost hear my Mexican ancestors grumble about my negligence. Hey, I'd written stories about ancestral Hispanic ghosts. Didn't that count? Still, no sense in upsetting my deceased family members. I'd add a south-of-the-border touch to tonight's dinner.
I removed the jar of Pace Chunky Salsa and a brick of pepper jack cheese from my refrigerator. That tasty combination ought to spice up the kokanee salmon I'd poached in lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and water. Probably not authentic Hispanic cuisine. Quick didn't equate to correct.
I skinned and boned the fish, the size of a trout. Kokanee were landlocked fresh-water sockeye salmon. My living family—me included—had caught Kokanee at Odell Lake in Oregon every summer for over twenty years. Three-quarters of a fish tonight for my husband, David. One quarter for me. I nuked fresh corn in the microwave and pulled the leftover haricot vert (long thin green beans of the French variety) out of my refrigerator. I covered the fish with a layer of spicy salsa and sliced pepper jack. Looked delicious.
Then I remembered. My father's paternal grandmother and great-grandmother had protested the French invasion of Mexico in the 1800′s. Those two women had helped raise money and recruit Mexican soldiers to defend their homeland. Dared I place French green beans on the same plate as my salmon ala salsa? And what about the French bread and cheese from Normandy, already on my dinner table? And the bottle of red Rhone wine? I groaned.
Okay, I would be more dutiful during the coming week. Maybe even cook chili verde from scratch. A nagging inner voice reminded me I hadn't prepared my own homemade tortillas and tamales for thirty-five years. And I still hadn't gotten around to learning how to make those fancy sugar skulls for Day of the Dead.
But wait, I was more than Mexican. I was English, Scotch-Irish and Swedish, too. And according to my autosomal DNA test report, some of my ancestors had been black and others Jewish. None of those deceased relatives complained about me not preparing overboiled beef, haggis, pickled herring, soul food and potato pancakes. At least, not yet.
"This is Hispanic Heritage month," the grumbling voice in my head said. "That's where your focus should be."
I served David dinner, even as the ghostly voice receded into the background.
"This fish is delicious," David said. "And the corn is so sweet."
My brain may be too old to keep up with the calendar but my hands could still put together a great meal. The ancestors would just have to forgive my non-traditional combinations.

Pittsburgh, Pa. – Robert Morris University (RMU) Actuarial Science student Carly Reshick took part in a trip to China through the International Scholar Laureate Program (ISLP). The trips aim was to provide high-achieving students the opportunity to take part in a learning experience designed to inform and enrich their career objectives and foster their ambition to achieve their lifelong goals in a way unlike any other.
Reshick participated in the pre-professional educational opportunities scheduled for China the last two weeks of May. She joined 38 other students to visit Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. The program provided scholars with a chance to further their career development in the field of business, while engaging in a culturally-enriching experience.
"Although I am an Actuarial Science major, I feel that many of the courses I have taken at RMU prepared me for the speakers and presentations that were on our schedule. Intercultural communications was an integral part of the Project Based Learning (PBL) topic that I had to complete on the trip as it was based on Culture, Etiquette and Business Practices in China," said Reshick.
In each delegation, scholars increased their knowledge about — and became better prepared for — a specific career field. Through a comparative curriculum, they gained a global understanding of how that career field is practiced in the host country. With each session, scholars were able to compare and contrast what they see and learn with current methods and procedures at home.
"My previous courses in statistics, economics, and finance gave me benchmarks for applying the information the speakers shared with us," said Reshick. "The interactions I have had with international students and faculty helped prepare me to engage in dialogue with everyone I met, especially at English Corner at the People's University in Beijing." The English Corner is an event that was held every week with the purpose of helping University students better their communication in English. Student's who participated, conducted interviews for their PBLs with Chinese citizens at the English Corner.
As scholars travel throughout the country, they discussed and debated leading issues while interacting with professionals. These discussions were then brought to life as scholars engaged in site explorations and experienced the reality of these issues firsthand.
When asked about some of the issues the group experienced firsthand, Reshick replied with the following, "The majority of us met for the first time at LAX airport, which welcomed us with a 4.7 magnitude earthquake! Upon our arrival in Beijing one member of our group was detained at the Health Inspection Checkpoint because he had some symptoms of H1N1. He was then taken, by a group of people dressed in what looked like HazMat clothing, to a Quarantine Hospital. With the assistance of the US Embassy and a normal temperature reading, he was able to return to our group the next day. I think that experience helped our group bond quickly and realize that we needed to make the most of every moment that we were there. Most of us would have gladly stayed much longer in China. I would strongly recommend this kind of trip to anyone who is looking for a unique educational experience!"

O'Shea hopes Sunderland build on win
Sunderland defender John O'Shea hailed Sunday's thumping 3-0 win at rivals Newcastle as "massive" as the Black Cats continue fighting to stay in the Premier League.
Paolo Di Canio's men came firing out of the traps and deservedly took the lead through Stephane Sessegnon in the 27th minute before stunning second-half strikes from Adam Johnson and substitute David Vaughan sealed a memorable day for the Wearsiders.
But while O'Shea was quick to praise the efforts of the players, he was keen to stress they cannot afford to rest on their laurels as they are only three points clear of the relegation zone with five games still to play.
"It's a massive result but we've still got a lot of work to do," the Irishman said on Sky Sports News.
"It's a massive step up but we've got five more massive games to come.
"If we can perform like that and score goals like that, keep clean sheets then we're going to survive."

I received my advanced copy of the March 2008 issue of Dwell Magazine and once again, it's filled with some great stuff. See a sneak preview of what's in-store after the jump.
• "In The Modern World" features some super-cool modern items for purchase, including the minimalist Flutto dish from NITO that looks like a splash of oil; the portable Bluetooth speaker MBS-100 from Sony Ericsson; and the friendly line of vases and candlesticks from Kahler called Fiducia.
• A fantastic article on a 1930s Texas bungalow that received a respectful modern addition, while still preserving its historic charm. This particular article is a great example of PrairieMod thinking in action.
• A former Chi-town tavern gets a "green" makeover and ends up with a Gold-certified LEED certificate. The article focuses special attention on the twin-rotor, vertical-axis wind turbines on the roof that help supply the home with power.
• Sound expert Mike Andrews of the band, Greyboy Allstars, sounds-off on the best docking options for your iPod.
• The life and work of Chicago native-son, Bertrand Goldberg, is looked at in one of my favorite sections, Archive. Quick trivia tid-bit: Apparently, when Mies van der Rohe visited the U.S. for the first time, Goldberg acted as translator when Mies met Frank Lloyd Wright.
• Finally, the feature article for this issue is called "Small Wonders" Homes Under 1,000 Square Feet. It's a look at 3 unique homes that buck the "Super-size Me" trend in domestic architecture. From a petite but sturdy Norwegian house at 205 sq ft, to a converted 912 sq ft New York City space with plenty of warmth and charm—this feature hopes to inspire the creativity and livability of the concept of "Less Becomes More."
Make sure to check out the March issue of Dwell Magazine when it hits news stands to read about these and other interesting articles. Enjoy!

Holiday trading
Hello, again.
Milly Sleeping is open today (Thursday December 23) until 6.30pm.
On Christmas Eve, the store will be open from 11am until 6.30pm.
We will be closed for a few days, re-opening on Thursday December 30 and Friday December 31 (from 11am to 6.30pm both days), and will re-re-open in the new year, on Tuesday January 4 at 11am.
Janette and I send a thousand thanks to Ishu for her help this year, and a thousand more to beautiful Alice for her time and patience, and many funny moments. I would like to sneak in my own thanks to Mum, for being so lovely and resilient (and so forgiving). We are both very grateful to you all for your interest and kindness, and wish you a very safe and happy holiday period.
Wishful thinking
It's almost too late for our annual wish-list ...
... but we're clinging onto that almost, for those of you who are clinging onto the idea of still having 36 or so hours in which to get organised.
Presenting, Milly Sleeping's ten gift ideas for under $100 ...
* * *
1. My Very Button hairpins - assorted shapes and sweet fabrics - from $12
2. OK OK socks - stripes, spots and anchors - RRP $20
3. Strange & Strange cotton crop vest - grey marle, gold and black - RRP $39.50
4. Wah-Wah Wears porcelain heart brooches - RRP $44
5. Limedrop enamel pendants - fox, cat and owl - RRP $59
6. High Tea with Mrs Woo Camelia clutch - olive and crimson - RRP $70
7. Estelle Dévé silver Marginis earrings (cylinders) - RRP $77
8. Strange & Strange cotton slouch tanks - various colours - RRP $79
9. Problem Child Nile and Delta earrings - green, gold and pink - RRP $80
10. Emma Grace silver drop earrings - RRP $85
and, er, 11. ffiXXed linen cotton pocket scarf - RRP $93
Tinker, tailor
Emma Grace is a very nice and very busy person, who works from one of the dozens of intriguing studio spaces inside Melbourne's warren-like Nicholas Building.
There, she hand-crafts fine metal jewellery for local stores/galleries and exhibitions, as well as running workshops, preparing for markets, and whatever else she may do that we don't know about. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that Emma was an engineer on the weekends ...
... When laid out together - a cluster of shiny circles, half-circles, wings, links, knots and propellors - her new collection of necklaces and earrings (and cufflinks) look a little bit like the parts of a tiny silver plane. Or perhaps a little boat.
* * *
Pictured: all jewellery by Emma Grace ...
silver circle necklace (RRP $120);
silver drop necklace with coloured chain (RRP $160);
silver drop necklaces with coloured ties (RRP $95 each);
silver three-drop necklace (RRP $140);
silver Deco necklace with moveable parts (RRP $220);
silver circle cufflinks (RRP $140);
silver circle earrings (RRP $120);
silver half-round earrings (RRP $120)
Tangerine dream
The latest, and some of the last, arrivals for 2010 are new pieces by MATERIALBYPRODUCT - slips and bodices of tangerine silk. We've been exclaiming over the amount of colour in store all Spring but the tangerine may just take the cake - for Most Vivid, at least.
There's nothing overpowering about it though, the garments are too light and fine and floaty. Each bears only subtle touches of the label's cloth-marking dots, and comes with a lovely, long fly-away anti.
There are necklaces, too, made from the unlikely combination of industrial ball chain and silk-binding - one running through the other to resemble strings of pearls.
Lying flat, this pair actually makes me think of tentacles and beachcombing...
* * *
Pictured: MATERIALBYPRODUCT silk Kite slip (RRP $440);
MATERIALBYPRODUCT silk Kite bodice (RRP $363), worn with Alexi Freeman gather skirt/cape (RRP $199);
MATERIALBYPRODUCT 'pearl' necklaces - black and ivory (RRP $242);
Nevada Duffy silk top (RRP $220);
Mücke tangerine tee-lace (RRP $39)
We recently had the pleasure of attending a runway show and exhibition put on by RMIT's Third Year Fashion students at Melbourne's GPO. Among the highlights was the collection of Alison Cosson... In fact, we were so impressed by the relaxed elegance and mature refinement of AC's garments, we've had them on display at Milly Sleeping for the past few weeks, gathering your (very positive) feedback.
THIS is Alison's graduate collection - in her words, "uncomplicated sleepwear and casual clothing for Winter 2011. The garments are practical enough to be worn and precious enough to be [respectfully] cared for".
What's most impressive to us (and to you) is the fact that achieving simple just isn't that simple. A great deal of time and care has been taken to create shapes that are soft but not slouchy, with precise and charming details.
We are looking forward to badgering AC for some garments to sell... For now, she currently knits adorable pieces for Milly Sleeping and private clients under the name, Aldis Kossdottir, and was last seen taking orders for woollen jumpers and things at Craft Hatch. You can talk to her here.
P. S. These soft house shoes were made by AC for a brief developed by Svensk clothing store, where they were originally displayed.

With the current economic situation, many business owners are taking it upon themselves to publicly complain about how the stimulus money is being spent, complaining about how some companies are getting stimulus money when they don't deserve it.
Visitors to the site can find opportunities to partner with General Mills on initiatives across the company`s extensive portfolio of leading consumer brands.
The move is part of a sweeping and – in some circles – controversial set of reforms he intends to implement to help reduce the backlog of 770,000 pending applications – a backlog that is hamstringing innovation and job creation, Kappos said.

More than 193,000 artificial hip replacement surgeries are performed yearly. Hip replacement may become necessary if activities such as walking, sitting, or even resting become painful.
The most common condition that results in the need for hip replacement surgery is arthritis. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative, joint disease that affects mostly middle-aged and older adults, causes the breakdown of joint cartilage and adjacent bone in the hips. Rheumatoid arthritis, which causes inflammation of the synovial membrane and results in excessive synovial fluid, can lead to pain and stiffness. Traumatic arthritis, arthritis due to injury, can cause damage to the articular cartilage of the hip.
The decision to replace the painful hip with an artificial one is a decision made by the patient and physician. Other, alternative treatments may first be used, including assistive walking devices and anti-inflammatory medications.
In addition to a complete medical history, your physician may perform a complete physical examination, including x-rays, to ensure you are in good health before undergoing surgery. In addition, you may also meet with a physical therapist to discuss rehabilitation after the surgery and undergo blood tests (or other tests).
Although each procedure varies, generally, surgery to replace a hip usually lasts a few hours.
The two most common types of artificial hip prostheses used in replacement surgery are cemented prostheses or uncemented prostheses. Sometimes, a combination of the two types is used to replace a hip. A hip prosthesis is made up of metal and plastic. A cemented prosthesis is attached to the bone with a type of surgical cement. An uncemented prosthesis attaches to the bone with a fine mesh of holes on the surface, in order for the bone to grow into the mesh and attach naturally to the prosthesis.
The prosthesis (artificial hip) is comprised of the following two components:
While undergoing surgery, the patient may be under general anesthesia or awake with spinal anesthesia.
Hip replacement surgeries usually require an in-hospital stay of several days. Even while in the hospital, the patient usually begins physical therapy exercises to begin regaining range-of-motion in the hip. Physical therapy will continue at home. Pain medication also will be administered to keep the patient comfortable.
The incision will have stitches or staples that will be removed after a few weeks.
Making certain modifications to your home may help you during your recovery. These modifications include the following:

The Sting & Honey Theatre Company (www.stingandhoney.org) will be workshopping a new play, "State of the Union" by Erik Orton, with a private presentation of the show at the Waterford School Theatre on March 24th in Salt Lake City.

Quote with 1 note
'What a time you've been, Norah,' grumbled the old lady.
'It's only just turned the half-hour, Madam,' said Norah in a special voice, bright and cheerful like the nurse. I wondered if Maxim's grandmother realised that people spoke to her in this way. I wondered when they had done so for the first time, and if she had noticed then. Perhaps she had said to herself, 'They think I'm getting old, how very ridiculous,' and then little by little she had become accustomed to it, and now it was as though they had always done so, it was part of her background.
Quote with 1 note
Maxim's grandmother suffered her in patience. She closed her eyes as though she too were tired. She looked more like Maxim than ever. I knew how she must have looked when she was young, tall and handsome… That was all finished now for her, all gone. Her husband had been dead for forty years, her son for fifteen. She had to live in this bright red gabled house with the nurse until it was time for her to die. I thought how little we know about the feelings of old people. Children we understand, their fears and hopes and make-believe. I was a child yesterday. I had not forgotten. But Maxim's grandmother, sitting there in her shawl with her poor blind eyes, what was she thinking? Did she know that Beatrice was yawning and glancing at her watch? Did she guess that we had come to visit her because we felt it right, it was a duty, so that when she got home afterwards Beatrice would be able to say 'Well, that clears my conscience for three months'?
Did she ever think about Manderley? Did she remember sitting at the dining-room table, where I sat? Did she too have tea under the chestnut tree? Or was it all forgotten and laid aside, and was there nothing left behind that calm, pale face of hers but little aches and strange discomforts, a blurred thankfulness when the sun shone, a tremor when the wind blew cold?

We're running on nothing,
the fumes of our dreams,
at another point in my life, that was good enough for me.
Quote with 1 note
I wanted to go on sitting there, not talking, not listening to the others, keeping the moment precious for all time, because we were peaceful, all of us, we were content and drowsy even as the bee who droned above our heads. In a little while it would be different, there would come tomorrow, and the next day, and another year. And we would be changed perhaps, never sitting quite like this again. Some of us would go away, or suffer, or die; the future stretched away in front of us, unknown, unseen, not perhaps what we wanted, not what we planned. This moment was safe though, this could not be touched. Here we sat together, Maxim and I, hand-in-hand, and the past and the future mattered not at all. This was secure, this funny fragment of time he would never remember, never think about again. He would not hold it sacred; he was talking about cutting away some of the undergrowth in the drive, and Beatrice agreed, interrupting with some suggestion of her own, and throwing a piece of grass at Giles at the same time. For them it was just after lunch, quarter past three on a haphazard afternoon, like any hour, like any day. They did not want to hold it close, imprisoned and secure, as I did. They were not afraid.

Some of the special effects on this are kind of embarrassing, but whatever, they play perfect music and I will be seeing them in a few weeks and you should be jealous.

She smiled, and pinched my arm, and I thought about being placid, how quiet and comfortable it sounded, someone with knitting on her lap, with calm unruffled brow. Someone who was never anxious, never tortured by doubt and indecision, someone who never stood as I did, hopeful, eager, frightened, tearing at bitten nails, uncertain which way to go, what star to follow.

Quote with 1 note
I try to avoid the news as much as I can. The kind of anger it produces – an anger that cannot possibly materialise the desire for which it stands – is ultimately just a corrosive, melting away whatever hope one has for the world. The position I take is one of informed apathy: I know what sort of thing is likely to happen, I can do without the details. Of course the cops break the law, they're a gang of thugs hired by the State to keep order. What do you expect? Of course politicians lie and CEOs line their pockets while impoverishing society. That's what they do. And if you cut one down, there's ten more to take their place. And, of course, the discussion in the 'free press' circles round and round the absent signifier of structural causation – like those little horses on a merry-go-round – individualising blame, producing and directing anger towards those who – whatever the ethics of their personal choices – are ultimately only carriers for their social function. If this particular pseudo-controversy manages to depose the Garda Commissioner he'll be replaced by another fucking cop. You can skim a layer of shit off the top of the tank, but there's always more lurking in the depths waiting to float to the top. Some victory.
What should be obvious, but somehow isn't, is that 'popular anger' is not some primordial force entering politics from the outside: it's actively produced by the political conjuncture. We're invoked to be angry here and not there, in this way and not that, at this individual and not this structure, and to consume our own anger through the mediation of the press in ways that are never allowed to amount to a meaningful collective challenge to power.

About Us
Solidarity was started in 1954 by Delco Electronics employees pooling their funds together to help a co-worker purchase a car. They did this by placing a quarter a week in a cigar box until they had enough saved to buy the car. Thus, they started a not-for-profit cooperative called a "credit union". There are no stockholders-the members own the credit union.
Today, Solidarity serves anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Howard and/or Tipton counties and select areas of Miami and/or Cass counties. In addition, businesses may become members. To become a member, you simply open a savings account with a minimum deposit of $5.
As a member-owned financial institution, we exist solely to improve the financial well-being of the members. Besides enjoying the latest and most convenient electronic services, members are provided with a safe, convenient place to save and obtain loans at reasonable rates.
Solidarity is led by an all volunteer Board of Directors that is elected by the membership to serve and uphold the financial values and standards established by their fellow members.

The OC Dome Project
The OC telescope was kept in a closet in the physics lab. To use it, students had to cart it up stairs and outside the science building. They had to set it up and tear it down every time, which burned valuable observing minutes. The Dome project is to purchase a small prefab unit called a SkyShed Pod to be installed on the roof of the science building. The telescope will be mounted on a computer controlled motorized mount. The advantages are the following:
1) Reduce the probability of damaging the telescope due to constantly moving the heavy equipment
2) Raises the telescope above street lights and buildings that currently block the view from the ground
3) Safe and lockable storage on the roof will reduce likelihood of theft or accidental misplacement of the telescope and all the accessories like maps, eyepieces, wiring, camera equipment, etc.
4) Reduced setup time will allow for 'quick peeks' as the opportunity arises and weather cooperates. This will increase the number of minutes spent observing per student.
The location of the telescope pre-dome. Note the nice laptop desk and abundance of frost.
We have found an economical solution from Sky Shed Pod that is made from a tough plastic, resist UV radiation, and offers a large enough covered space to comfortably house our telescope and accessories. The 'Pod' has a dome roof the can be manually opened. The dome clam-shell shape helps divert the wind and block stray light.
We are also going to install a solar powered vent fan to keep the inside from getting too hot. Also, we will have electrical connections to run the telescope and other equipment.
Project Budget--$5600.
Below is the profile of the Noble Science Wing before installation of the dome.
The dome base is a wood deck sized according to the floor plans found on Sky Shed Pod's website. The picture below shows its construction.
One thing to note in the picture-- the deck DOES NOT rest on the roofing surface. It is off the surface by a couple of inches. The deck is tied to four metal supports that are piers that extend down through the roof to load bearing beams. This will help minimize vibrations. Also, the deck is level whereas the roof has a slight pitch for drainage.
The platform is sturdy and level. It is anchored to the steel piers and shimmed underneath for added support. Vibration is minimal.
Above are the sections of the dome prior to installation. (And a big shout out to the summer section of astronomy students for being our 'mule team' to bring it upstairs.)
Dr. Feuerhelm and Don Leftwich are getting the wall sections ready after successfully assembling the two dome halves.
Dr. Feuerhelm, Don Leftwich, and Dave Compton squaring the circle to make sure the pod is true to form.
Dr. F., Don, and Dave along with Dave's helpers Annie and Mac apply the first half of the dome. Nearly done!
Dave Compton is please as Punch.
The roof-line of the Noble Science Wing has a new bump on it. We hope the dome allows us to add to the research work of the OC science department as well as the architecture.
This Project was funded in part by a generous donation from the Seminole Chapter of the Oklahoma Christian Women's Association (OCWA). Thank You Ladies!!
