Fantasy Fix: Broken Arms
It's a wonder Cy Young's arm didn't fall right off of his body at some point. His 511 career wins, 749 career complete games and 7,356 innings pitched are baseball's most unbreakable records. Sure, things were different back then - games were managed differently, pitchers didn't throw as hard and they were never pulled from games. Still, I think the "Cy" may have been short for "Cyborg."
This year, we are being reminded again why no modern pitcher will ever come close to those numbers. Not only has bullpen micro-management made the complete game virtually a thing of the past, the best pitchers in the game today simply can't stay healthy. Since the start of spring training, at least 18 pitchers have either had or are waiting to have reconstructive Tommy John surgery on their elbows, according to the USA Today.
Many of them, including the latest slated for season-ending surgery - Marlins ace Jose Fernandez - were considered to be in the top tier of fantasy pitching stat contributors.
Even aside from those catastrophic injuries, several more top pitchers - including Clayton Kershaw, Yu Darvish and Chris Sale - already have spent time on the disabled list this season with various maladies.
The trend is a troubling one, and has the potential to radically change how young amateur and professional pitchers are trained and handled. In the long term, it could also change the art of pitching and the game itself. Already, it is changing fantasy baseball.
As a fantasy manager, you can no longer place a premium value on pitchers - particularly starting pitchers. That's a big change from a few years ago, when it seemed like the best bet for winning a daily head-to-head fantasy league was to load up on top-tier arms early in the draft, then spend the season cycling them in and out of the rotation, piling up wins and strikeouts throughout the week.
With the current higher risk of injury among the best starters, it's starting to look like a better idea to focus more on offense early on, then in later rounds focus on drafting No. 2 and No. 3 starters from teams that are likely to contend.
I expect that for the time being, young pitchers will still try to bring up triple-digit readings on the radar gun, and as long as they do, the game will continue to be filled with massively-hyped SPs who will be hard to turn down come draft time.
No one will blame you for drafting an obvious stud like Fernandez in the second round, but do so with the knowledge of the increasing likelihood that seven weeks into the season you could very well be dropping a hotshot like Fernandez on the waiver wire for some undrafted schmo named Jason Hammel.

For each act, Jennifer Murphy was charged with aggravated sexual assault.
She is HIV-positive, accused of having unprotected sex with the three males.
Until a week ago, she was also on the lam — twice disappearing while on bail with strict conditions attached. Police picked her up last Thursday at an abandoned house in Toronto.
This is either an incorrigible middle-aged woman putting her unsuspecting sex partners at risk. Or — by her own earlier assertion ("a survivor, not a victim") — a self-styled activist against HIV discrimination, an individual who merely wishes to lead a relatively normal life, not hounded by cops and prosecutors.
But little about Murphy's life has been normal.
In 2005 she gained notoriety in a high-profile case, convicted of having unprotected sex with two soldiers from CFB Borden and failing to disclose her HIV status to them. Such was the alarm triggered by Murphy's arrest that soldiers from the base area were urged to seek medical attention if they suspected they'd had sexual relations with the accused.
Murphy was found guilty, sentenced to one year of house arrest by Superior Court Justice Michelle Fuerst, and ordered to return to her home province of Newfoundland once the sentence had been completed.
Instead, according to police, she returned to the Barrie area.
In 2007, she was charged again with aggravated sexual assault, accused of having sex with a local man and not telling him of her illness. Murphy insisted the fellow knew about her health status and a condom had been used.
That charge was ultimately withdrawn by the Crown, which Murphy described as "vindication." She told a reporter from the St. John's Telegram afterwards about plans to attend an international AIDS conference in Mexico to speak against the criminalization of the disease.
"I'm a liberated woman and there isn't anything that's going to shut me up. I'm going to be known as a loving mother, a caring friend and an activist. I want to share my experience, my struggle, my strength and my hopes."
Except mostly what she's done, allegedly, is continue having unprotected sex with men whilst bailing on her bail.
It's not known whether Murphy had been taking her anti-retroviral medication. The charge sheet from a week ago describes her as having no fixed address. When Murphy appeared in court on Friday — consenting to a detention order which is keeping her in jail — she looked haggard and extremely thin, perhaps 30 pounds lighter than when last seen in the dock in July.
She's been on the crucial medication since being taken into custody, says her lawyer, Angela McLeod.
Whatever the merits of the charges 39-year-old Murphy is now facing, this is an accused with a known history of ignoring the court's orders. It should be asked why judges keep cutting so much slack for a woman who has been such a clear flight risk, except maybe that she is a woman.
To review:
Murphy was charged a year ago in September after allegedly having unprotected sex with three men between Aug. 13 and Sept. 11. Initially, she was denied bail by a justice of the peace who found she might be a risk to public safety. Murphy successfully appealed that ruling to a higher court and, last April, was released on bail. The stipulations required her to stay on her medications and remain indoors at the Elizabeth Fry home in Barrie, 24 hours a day, unless in the company of a worker.
A month later she walked away from the residence, was arrested within four days and taken back into custody at the Central North Correctional Centre in Penetanguishene. On July 7, she pleaded guilty to breaching her bail; the judge agreed to sentence her to time served and then released her again on the same bail conditions as before.
Yet Elizabeth Fry was apparently never informed that Murphy was back under their care. She never went there after leaving court — just disappeared. Her trial on the aggravated sexual assault charges was to have been held in September but Murphy was a no-show, bench warrant issued, whereabouts unknown until picked up by the cops in Toronto last week. Tuesday, she was back in court — Fuerst again presiding — for a brief procedural appearance, looking healthier and quite animated in private conversations with her lawyer.
McLeod told reporters afterwards that the September trial would have been adjourned anyway, pending a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada on the duty to disclose HIV status. That landmark ruling came down a month ago, with the high court unanimously absolving HIV carriers of the legal obligation to inform sex partners about their condition — as long as they have a low level of the virus and use a condom.
The clarification, attacked from both sides of the debate, purportedly reflects medical advances in treating the virus that causes AIDS, adjusting a law the Supreme Court ruled on in 1998, which then compelled people with HIV to inform sex partners about their status.
How the new ruling can be applied, in practice, is puzzling. Presumably an HIV carrier could avoid prosecution if he or she can demonstrate a low viral load or prove that a condom was used in instances where an uninformed sex partner alleges otherwise, after the fact. In Murphy's case, the prosecution now has in its possession — and it's been disclosed to the defence — a medical report on the defendant's immunodeficiency levels.
When Murphy is next in court, later this month, it's entirely possible that the Crown will choose not to proceed with a trial, given the parameters of the Supreme Court's ruling — if Murphy's viral load is low and the prosecution accepts that, as Murphy has claimed, a condom was used.
Yet that, as McLeod points out, might relate only to the one charge against Murphy of actual sexual intercourse. The Supremes, in what's now known as the "Mabior'' ruling, addressed appeals from two lower court cases that both involved females victimized by HIV-positive men and the "realistic possibility'' of transmitting HIV through intercourse. The law, however, will continue to evolve.
What of the statistically lower risk of men contracting HIV from women? "The risk of contamination is different between females and males who have the virus,'' says McLeod.
What of the risk from oral sex, since two of Murphy's charges arise from non-penetration sex acts? Should the dual components — condom and low viral load — apply equally or might there be even a lesser threshold for non-disclosure?
And will the Supreme Court of Canada eventually be turning their tall foreheads to the HIV potential of fellatio and cunnilingus as the law gets further tweaked?
"I don't see any of these three men as victims,'' says McLeod, who says her client is, at worst, guilty of casual sex, which isn't a crime. There is no allegation of money exchanging hands, all were willing participants and the men could have taken responsibility for their sexual health by using a condom — which Murphy maintains is precisely what happened in the one episode of intercourse.
"If you leave the house to go pick up a jug of milk at the corner store and you pick up a woman instead, then you're playing Russian roulette,'' says McLeod.
"If you don't want to take sexual risks, you make sure you wrap it.''

Dear friends. Happy Friday! Let me tell you something. My week started out kind of rocky. I was dealing with a lot of emotional stuff that was partly a result of my school/work stuff, which is pretty much all-encompassing right now. But guess what? I snapped out of my funk with just a few simple tricks. Namely: (lots and lots of) yoga, nature walks, friends, and shifting my attention towards others instead of myself. Works like a charm.
So I'm happy to bring you this Friday Five with an earnest smile. Enjoy some treats and some other stuff!
1. Buckwheat Soba Noodles with Dandelion Green Pesto
I love everything about this recipe. Dandelion greens, buckwheat, and a vegan pistachio pesto?! How incredible does that sound? And I love that Lindsey served this on top of a big bed of greens. (Also, be sure to peruse around the rest of the dollyandoatmeal blog, for more amazing recipes, gorgeous photography, and amazing pictures of bulldogs!).
2. More on Monsanto
I wish that I didn't feel compelled to post about Monsanto on the FF so often, but it's some really messed up stuff that's happening. On Tuesday, the president signed the Farmer Assurance Provision (what opponents are calling the "Monsanto Protection Act"). This article lays out five reasons why this legislation is very, very bad–(including that it was co-written by Monsanto and that it has no regulations against GMOs).
3. Spring Sweets!
Whether you celebrate Easter or not, you'll probably want to make some of these adorable treats that have been floating around the internet in honor of this Sunday's holiday (and the coming of spring in general). I love the sound of these Raw Easter Cookies from Vegan Yak Attack, Gabby's amazing "Peanut Butter" & Caramel-filled Chocolate Eggs, and Laura's Superfood Chocolate Easter Eggs (pictured below). All of these goodies are refined-sugar-free, gluten-free, and vegan (of course).
4. National Farmworker Awareness Week: Is Cheap Food Good Food?
Did you know that it was National Farmworker Awareness Week? Not exactly a hot topic in the media, unfortunately. This video made in honor of the week gives a short, but powerful look at the cost of cheap food. "The link between the inexpensive foods we all take for granted each day and the farmworkers that pick and raise our food is often overlooked. However, a food system that is cheap, but is built on the backs of the poor is not moral and is not sustainable." Watch here.
5. Crow Pose!
This is one of the most challenging poses for the yoga students I teach. Indeed, it took me months of my own practice before I was able to master the elusive "crow pose." That's why I was glad to find this video that Tara Stiles made for FitSugar. It covers a lot of good tips, but I would add a couple things: focus more on your core than your arm strength; and figure out where your knees balance best on your triceps: for some it's on the sides, some it's higher or lower.
Have you ever had soba noodles? Any thoughts on Monsanto? Any Easter plans? How is your crow pose?
(PS: I always crack up when I write those end-of-the-post questions because a friend of mine once pointed out that if anyone asked those questions in a row out of context, they would sound like a complete lunatic. So now I always imagine asking those questions to someone randomly on a bus. Hilarious. If you ever feel moved to do this in real life and then tell me about it, I will send you a box of treats. For serious.)

New Assassin's Creed, Red Steel Coming
New Assassin's Creed, Red Steel Coming
Ubisoft has laid out its plans for the 2009-10 fiscal year, and they include a number of its marquee franchises like Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, as well as handful of new properties and a sequel to the much-maligned Wii launch title, Red Steel.
Laying out Ubisoft's future in the coming fiscal year, CEO Yves Guillemot had a decidedly optimistic forecast. "2009-10 looks very promising and our teams are working flat-out to provide gamers with the best the industry has to offer," Guillemot said in a report on third quarter earnings in 2008-09. "Although we have to be cautious in light of the current economic environment, we expect Ubisoft to once again be one of the most dynamic and profitable publishers in the games industry in 2009."
The fiscal year for 2009 to 10 will end in March 2010, so expect these games to be on shelves by then: Assassin's Creed 2, the long-in-development Splinter Cell Conviction, a new Ghost Recon, a whole bunch of Imagine and Petz games, and a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game which MTV has on good word is being made by some of the folks who helped build Super Smash Bros Brawl. Also scheduled to make a return is Red Steel, the swords-and-guns Wii game that proved one of the console's bigger launch disappointments. The new title will feature Motion Plus controls for ultimate 1:1 hold-your-pistol-sideways-like-a-Triad-member action.
Guillemot also revealed that I Am Alive, the post-disaster survival game that we got the first details on last month and which was only recently rumored to be released in March, will be delayed. "I Am Alive will require further development time and will now bolster the line-up for 2009-10," he said.
Ok, red steel was such a bad game, why do people insist on making sequels to bad games?
While I can't wait for the new Assassin's Creed, I cannot say I feel the same way about Red Steel.
I appear to be behind on my Assassins Creed information, but does anyone know what the second one will be about, or what era it will take place in?
What's this? No beyond good and evil 2 news? I'm still waiting for *any* indications that this game is still on the radar... :'(
I haven't heard anything official on Assassin's Creed beyond that they're making it. Not even much for rumors, actually, so your best info at this point might just be from playing through the first game, in which case I can't help at all...
Edit: oh, man, yeah, they'd better still be working on BG&E 2. I'm just playing through the first one now...
Assassin's Creed 2(: The Assassinating)- Pass
Well so much for Ubisoft.
Finally a Red Steel sequal. I don't why people think it was bad. It was quite good except for a few minor glitches.
Looking foreward to "I am Alive"(delayed =/), "Assasins Creed 2" and possibly the new Ghost Recon game - I had hoped they would make a new Rainbow Six game...
Assassin's Creed: Strong possibility
i agree. it was a good game despite a couple of problems which, if they sort them out for the sequel, it will be great.
A lot of it looks good to me, but what can I say? I love most of these franchises.
Red Steel was pretty bad, but it wasn't the concept that was bad. Maybe they'll actually fix things and make a good implementation of it. (I can dream, right?)
One of the developers said the French Revolution in passing, but it was sort of an example to show that they could pick any time period.
Red Steel was one of the titles that tempted me to get a Wii... and then the reviews came in saying that the controls just weren't there, and I lost interest. So I agree, if they can fix those soft-spots in the sequel I might just be tempted to throw Ninty some coin.
-- Steve
I really hope Ubi works on coding and gameplay more than just graphics. They're notorious for bad PC versions with horrendous bugs... Anyone remember the disaster that Double Agent was? Virtually unplayable.
I don't see how a Red Steel sequel could possibly have been conceived. It sold almost nothing, and was panned by critics.
Sounds interesting. At least that's more creative than having it being set during the great crusades again.
Nah, the crusades are going to be the next World War II.
i can't wait for assassin's creed 2!
In game clues point to Japan. A Dev mentioned the French Revolution. In any case it won't be set in the Crusades.
No mention of BG&E2.... that's not a good sign. I hope they're still going to work on it.
I played it and beat it and *gasp* had fun. It was not a bad game to me because I wasn't expecting the FPS equivalent of Jesus. Yes I bought it used, but that's not the point. The point is that people's expectations ruined the experience before it even had a chance.
The French revolution for AC 2 huh? sounds interesting, only wish the game itself will be just as interesting as the environment.
To see if they can improve, it's happened before ya' know.
A new ghost recon? Sweet...
Also I can't wait for Endwar DLC and Hawx
i love ubisoft. they are great devs, im pretty excited for all this stuff,
red steel:im hopeing for a true sword game that does well, i guess well have to wait and see
splinter cell, assasins creed, and new ghost recon, im very excited for.
Screw Splinter Cell and Red Steel (never heard of it, anyway).
Assassin's Creed - nice, but they can't think of something better than an assassin with a hidden blade doing parkour in the Holy Land.
Hope there WILL be BG&E, would play it again but sound is screwed up and characters are desynced with their lips and text...
I am so in for a TMNT like Super Smash Brothers man. With all the characters from that universe that could be a blast.
And I swear my fealty to the resurrected soul of Al Mualim in Assassins Creed Two baby.

So there's two poems by Ezra Pound - I haven't got the dates on them but I'm guessing that they're around 1917, around World War I or before.
"Commission" - First is Pound's address to his own poems (just as Whitman had addressed his poems to go out into the world - "who touches this book touches a man" ["Camerado, this is no book,/Who touches this touches a man"] "missing me, stop somewhere, you'll find me under your feet" ["If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles"..."Missing me one place search another/I stop somewhere waiting for you"])
[Allen reads Ezra Pound's "Commission" in its entirety - "Go, my songs, to the lonely and the unsatisfied,/Go also to the nerve-wracked, go to the enslaved-by-convention/Bear to them my contempt for their oppressors./Go as a great wave of cool water,/Bear my contempt of oppressors/ Speak against unconscious oppression,/Speak against the tyranny of the unimaginative,/Speak against bonds./Go to the bourgeoise who is dying of her ennuis,/Go to the women in suburbs/Go to the hideously wedded,/Go to them whose failure is concealed,/Go to the unluckily mated,/Go to the bought wife,/Go to the woman entailed./ Go to those who have delicate lust,/Go to those whose delicate desires are thwarted/Go like a blight upon the dulness of the world;/Go with your edge against this,/Strengthen the subtle cords,/Bring confidence upon the algae and the tentacles of the soul./Go in a friendly manner,/Go with an open speech./Be eager to find new evils and new good,/Be against all forms of oppression/Go to those who are thickened with middle age,/To those who have lost their interest./ Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family—" - (or, "go to the adolescents who are smothered in family") - "Oh how hideous it is/To see three generations of one house gathered together! - (it's actually one popular Whitmanic opinion that is just the opposite now - "Oh how charming to see three generations of one house gathered together!") - "It is like an old tree with shoots,/And with some branches rotted and falling./ Go out and defy opinion,/ Go against this vegetable bondage of the blood./..Be against all sorts of mortmain - ("dead hand" "mort main") - Actually, there's a little bit of Whitman's reversal (in "Respondez!"), there's a little bit of the same bitterness toward society or toward America.
However, seeing that he'd actually arrived at some kind of identical position as Whitman.. (though, as you can see, a bit more shallow - because Whitman would have loved those large mother and large fathers and large families). Here he's actually cursing the family - the American family system (in those days, I suppose, more of a smothering influence than it's conceived to be now.
Then there's a very brief poem - ten lines - called "A Pact", which is very famous, because, at this point, the high-talking, intelligent, Ezra Pound concedes something to Whitman whom he despised and talked against. He was mostly pissed at Whitman because Whitman did not invent a new measure for America. (Whitman) seemed to have abandoned all the old European measures without substituting anything new except a worn-out biblical style (which is somewhat of a fault in Whitman) - which Pound and (William Carlos) Williams tried to advance on. That is, Whitman wiped out the old measures and Pound and Williams were now trying to reconstruct some measure for the line of verse in America, and some standard for the diction that had been wiped out by Whitman's explosion.
So Pound says - "I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman -/ I have detested you long enough./I come to you as a grown child/Who has had a pig-headed father,/I am old enough now to make friends./It was you that broke the new wood,/Now is a time for carving/We have one sap and one root -/Let there be commerce between us." - So what did he mean, "Now is the time for carving"? - I'm interpreting that as meaning - "Now is a time for reshaping and reconstituting some kind of American measure" - and the phrase "American measure" stays with William Carlos Williams and becomes his obsession by 1950, half a century later - the idea of finding a way of measuring American verse. Yes?

Sonnia Criid
Where there is order, there is always someone trying to disrupt that order. Sonnia has spent her professional life perfecting the use of her own magic in order to fight against the Arcanists and other illegal magic-users, literally fighting fire with fire. Many members of the Guild feel that she might be overstepping her boundaries, becoming more mage than Guild, but Sonnia understands that sometimes you must cut yourself free of traditional methods and answer your enemy's tactics in kind.
While the Guild battles many threats in the open, Sonnia's task is much harder. The Miners and Steamfitters Union is loved by many in Malifaux, but she has seen through their front. It is more than a worker's rights group: it is a full crime syndicate that must be stopped by any means necessary. It is not enough to raze the offices with fire. Instead, the Witch Hunter Task Force's job must be more subtle. Accidents must happen and conflicts must always be painted such that the M&SU leaders appear to be the instigators. It is a careful war that Sonnia must wage and there are few loyal enough to stay by her side.
Sonnia's great runed blade has struck down more than one witch, enchanted as it has been to confer even greater power over others who use magic. Even when it does not strike a killing blow, the long blade will bind a witch's powers with even the slightest graze. Sonnia will not say where she learned the art of such runed magic, but the Guild has given her free reign in her pursuit of illegal magic use and soulstone recovery.
Box Set
Sonnia Criid's box set contains six models, including Sonnia Criid herself. She is supported by her second-in-command, Samael Hopkins, a deadly bounty hunter with the ability to put out lots of damage. Her totem, the Purifying Flame, is capable of preventing enemies from using Soulstones to protect themselves from Sonnia's wrath, and her Witching Stalkers make for dependable minions that explode when killed.
Sonnia Criid is a Guild Master who enjoys blasting her enemies into the next century. She uses fire magic, making great use of Blaster Markers and the Burning Condition through her spells. Although her speed and Defense are relatively low, she has a fun bag of tricks which make her an interesting and competitive Master. Her Crews will generally favor Witch Hunters or models which hand out Burning, although most Guild models are good choices.
Flameburst is Sonnia's key damage-dealing spell, so expect to use it frequently while she leads your Crew. It has a great Casting value and range, but Sonnia's Abilities really make it shine. Flameburst can place Blast Markers, and Sonnia has a much wider range of where she can place Blasts than other Masters, allowing her to cause damage where she needs it. Also, if the target has the Burning Condition, she can target them wherever they are, regardless of Line of Sight (there is no hiding from the head Witch Hunter). Finally, with Confiscated Lore, Sonnia can boost her Defense, Willpower, or Casting. While boosting Sonnia's defensive stats is always a good option, boosting her Casting gives her one of the most frightening Attacks in the game.
Sonnia's Upgrades give her a variety of options including the Ability to place Flame Wall Markers to impede enemy movement, the Ability to summon Witchling Stalkers, and a number of ways to thwart enemy spells. Ultimately, Sonnia is a Master who has some weaknesses in terms of speed and defense, but she more than makes up for it in her tendency to burn her enemies to a crisp, wherever they may be hiding.

I only wish I was able to snap a picture like above, I've tried, but a shot like that has alluded me. Credit for this picture can be found here. Below is the best I've been able to get so far:
Now what I find interesting with this bird, it knows I am there, walking around that pond. The last few days, it continually stayed ahead of me. I would get close to where it was and it would fly ahead to the next tree or spot around the pond. This continued for eight laps around the pond! I did read that they are territorial - I guess that is what it was doing? Or, was it playing a game with me? Can/do wild birds do that?
Anyway, it sure does entertain me during these daily walks around the pond!

Avrupa Announces $1.2 Million Financing
February 27, 2012
Avrupa Minerals Ltd. (AVU:TSXV) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to complete a financing for $1.2 million by way of a non-brokered private placement of units ("the "Units").
During 2011, Avrupa was able to advance its Alvalade project in the Portuguese Pyrite Belt and option it out to a new partner that has set the project exploration budget at US$2.5 million for 2012. The additional funds that Avrupa is raising will advance the mineral exploration on certain other projects in Portugal, Kosovo and Germany. These projects will either be upgraded to JV-ready status for potential partners to advance them to the next stages of exploration, or dropped if nothing significant is discovered.
Avrupa is exploring in regions of these three countries that have had thousand-year or longer mining histories. Avrupa is applying modern exploration techniques and new ideas to generate mineral prospects with strong potential for discovery of significant mineral deposits.
The financing will consist of 4 million Units at a price of $0.30 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of a common share and a non-transferable common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.50 per common share for a 24 month period starting on the closing of this offering.
Paul Kuhn, President and CEO, commented, "We now have two projects optioned out to strong partners. We will focus the new funds on exploration work to advance our best prospects, including new, recently-announced opportunities in Germany and Kosovo. Our goal continues to be the formation of further partnerships to advance these programs to a potential important mineral discovery. Funds will also be used to continue to generate new ideas and prospects in our core areas and elsewhere in Europe."
Avrupa currently has 16,103,571 common shares outstanding which will increase to 20,103,571 common shares upon completion of this financing.
Avrupa Minerals Ltd. is a growth-oriented junior exploration and development company focused on aggressive exploration, using a prospect generator model, for valuable mineral deposits in politically stable and prospective regions of Europe, including Portugal, Kosovo, and Germany.
The Company has an exciting portfolio of exploration projects consisting of:
- Copper and Zinc in southern Portugal at Marateca and in the Alvalade JV project area located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, where Europe's richest active copper mine is located;
- Tungsten and Gold in northern Portugal at the Covas JV project area;
- Precious metal and REE potential in the new Aljezur project area, south Portugal
- Silver, Lead and Zinc in Kosovo at the Glavej, Kamenica, Selac, and Bajgora properties in the Trepça Mineral Belt of the Vardar Zone, historically, Europe's most productive district for lead and zinc;
- Copper and Gold in southern Kosovo within the Koritnik exploration license area in the Sharr-Dragash intrusive complex;
- Gold in eastern Germany in the 307 km2 Oelsnitz exploration license in the historic Erzgebirge Mining District, a 1000-year producer of tin, tungsten, silver, base metals, and uranium.

Cambodia plans to import and refine oil from Iran, a spokesman from the Council of Ministers has said, just one among several proposed forms of strengthened co-operation between the two countries.
The announcement comes at a time when the United States and European Union have approved some of the toughest sanctions yet against the Islamic country.
Cambodian officials have maintained that the Kingdom will take foreign direct investment from all interested nations.
The US Embassy in Phnom Penh said yesterday that it expected all United Nations members to take into consideration US regulations when dealing with Iran.
Deputy Prime Minister Sok An and Iranian Ambassador Seyed Javad Ghavam Shahidi agreed on Thursday to strengthen economic ties between the two countries, Council of Ministers spokesman Ek Tha said yesterday.
Among the proposed economic activity were oil imports from Iran, which would be refined in Cambodia and then sold to China starting in 2014, Ek Tha had said at a press conference on Thursday.
Construction on Cambodia's first oil refinery, located on 365 hectares in Sihanoukville and Kampot provinces, will begin in April and finish in 2014, the Post reported last month.
Domestically owned Cambodian Petrochemical Company, China National Automation Control System Corporation and China's Sino March Company will invest US$2 billion in the refinery.
Cambodia Petrochemical's Han Kheang said yesterday that he has met with the Iranian ambassador twice to discuss the oil imports.
Other proposed economic cooperation between the two countries included agricultural exports to Iran, as well as Iranian investments in medicine and education in Cambodia, Ek Tha said.
The two countries signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on oil and gas projects last year, he said.
The United States and European Union imposed sanctions this month that would cut off crude oil exports from Iran on July 1. The move came on the longstanding concern that Iran's nuclear programme is aimed at developing weapons.
Iranian lawmakers yesterday were set to vote on a ban on exports to the EU in retaliation to the sanctions. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency arrived in Tehran yesterday in the hopes of resolving questions surrounding the country's nuclear programme.
Cambodia will not take into account the foreign policies of other countries toward Iran when considering investment in the Kingdom, Ek Tha said.
"We do not discriminate where our FDI comes from," he said via phone, adding that the deepening of cooperation with Iran was strictly civilian, not military.
"Some Western countries put economic sanctions on [Cambodia] after we toppled the Pol Pot regime. We have learned some hard lessons about the damage of sanctions, so we will keep our economy open."
Sean McIntosh, spokesman for the US Embassy in Phnom Penh, said members of the United Nations shouldn't ignore US policy toward Iran.
"We expect all UN members to strictly enforce UN [Security Council] relations and to consider carefully the impact of new US regulations when considering engaging in economic activity with Iran," he said in an email yesterday.
Iran has refused to address the international community's concerns about its nuclear programme, McIntosh said, citing a recent statement from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Although an increase in economic activity between Cambodia and Iran could draw negative attention from the West, Cambodia has never appeared to violate UN sanctions, Carlyle Thayer, a political science professor at the University of New South Wales, said via email yesterday.
"Cambodia's relations with North Korea and Iran would of course attract scrutiny from the US and other Western countries because of UN sanctions. But there is no hint that Cambodia is violating these sanctions in its relations with Iran or North Korean," he said.
A North Korean delegation arrived in Phnom Penh in July to discuss strengthening economic and trade relations with Cambodia, the Post reported last year.

A box full of Trouble classic logos in all sizes!
Will be available January 15, 2016
Classic Trouble Funk logos 3 x 3 in both heather gray and black. Trouble...
Miles off the radar of popular music during the early '80s, Trouble Funk energized their D.C. home with the sound of go-go music, an uproarious blend of swinging, up-tempo '70s funk and a '60s style horn section. The band formed in 1978, and the lineup coalesced around drummer Emmet Nixon, percussionists Mack Carey and Timothius Davis, guitarist Chester Davis, bassist Tony Fisher, trombone players Gerald and Robert Reed, trumpeter Taylor Reed, keyboard player James Avery, and saxophonist David Rudd. Trouble Funk earned a loyal fan base for their notoriously can't-miss live act, a raw, party friendly version of dance and funk with few songs but plenty of extensive jams organized around audience-friendly vocal tags and call-out hooks. The first go-go record released outside of D.C., Trouble Funk's 1982 debut "Drop the Bomb" appeared on Sugar Hill, the same label then championing early hip-hop. (The two styles had very similar origins, in the break beat culture of urban block parties.) Also in 1982 they released a single "So Early In The Moring" on D.E.T.T. Records, later reissued on diverse labels as 2.13.61 & Tuff City.

Recorded live at the historic Howard Theatre in 2015. This package includes the CD and DVD of performance.

Correct immunohistochemical detection of PD-L1 has become important with the development of a plethora of anti-PD1 or PD-L1 antibodies for treatment of many cancer types. During the last year NordiQC has completed many internal tests and pilot runs (the latest in February 2017). On this page we will release validated data from internal and external projects in addition to the NordiQC runs to fascilitate implementation of PD-L1 assays in clinical pathology laboratories.
In the beginning of 2017, the first run (C1) of the new "Companion Diagnostic Module" was perfomed by invited laboratories. C1 module focused on PD-L1 expression in NSCLCs to guide immune therapy as first and second line treatment. 68 labs participated in this run, where a pass rate of 50% was obtained. Laboratory Developed (LD) assays provided a very low number of optimal results. Click on this link to see the full report (link). The Companion Diagnostic Module is now open for all participants and PD-L1 will be offered on biannual basis (at present PD-L1 expression in NSCLC). If you wish to participate in this module (run C1x, deadline 21. May 2017), please click this link (register). C1x is an extra run performed in between run C1 and C2 due to the very low pass rate observed in run C1.
Timeline for C1x
1st May - Homepage open for protocol submission
21st May - Deadline for protocol submission
1st June - Circulation of slides
23rd June - Deadline for return of staining slides
10th July - Publication of results
Recommended protocols for PD-L1 staining are available on the NordiQC homepage (protocols). At the moment, only protocols for Companion / Complementary PD-L1 assays are available, since the run C1 did not reveal any confident LD assays providing optimal and accurate PD-L1 IHC results. Intensive internal and external testing is taking place at the moment to develop LD assays for the most commonly used IHC platforms. Results will be published in peer-reviewed articles and on our homepage.

REMINDER: Port meeting on Flight Corridor Safety Program is Tuesday night
REMINDER: The Port of Seattle's Community Meeting and Open House on the Flight Corridor Safety Program – intended to remove around 2,800 trees at and around Sea-Tac Airport – is this TUESDAY, Nov. 1, from 6 – 8:30 p.m. at Bow Lake Elementary in SeaTac (map below).
"Removal and replanting of the trees will ensure Sea-Tac complies with all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations protecting approach and departure surfaces into and out of the airport," reads an announcement.
The Community Meeting and Open House is intended to provide residents with additional details about the program, including information stations with subject matter experts and an opportunity to offer questions and comments to Port of Seattle Commissioners.
More than 4,000 native, low-height trees will be planted by the Port in the first phase of the three year program to replace approximately 1,200 trees on Port property. The Flight Corridor Safety Program is divided into phases for trees on Port properties, publicly owned and commercial properties, and residential properties.
Overall, the program has identified approximately 2,800 trees to be removed in the three phases based on location: 1,200 trees on Port property, 1,400 on publicly owned or commercial properties (about 1,200 on Washington State Department of Transportation property, many on land set aside for future Hwy 509 expansion), and an estimated 180 on residential properties. Trees on residential properties will not be affected until 2018. Each resident will be contacted and offered a number of alternatives to choose from to best meet their needs.
For more information and Frequently Asked Questions on the program, visit the project webpage here or visit www.portseattle.org/safecorridor.

It's pretty rare that a t-shirt company stops me in my tracks (whatever that means, I sit at a desk about 10 hours a day), but Limerence did just that when I saw their designs. When I said a few posts back that I thought 2011 would be the year of the photo tee I was kind of joking, but just a few hours later my prophecy is coming true!*
Sure, they've got four shirts in the store, one is a logo shirt (a nice logo shirt, but still), and one is the name set onto photos which is cool though still a bit logo-y for my liking, but the other two are utterly stunning, I'm almost considering bookmarking the Addictive Love for a 'best of 2011′ post that I will inevitably 'forget' to write next December when the lure of mince pies and mulled wine becomes too great. The shirts themselves are produced in the US, but I'm not sure what brand of blank is being used, I do know that the inks are eco-friendly though, so this shirt doesn't melt the ice caps quite as much as many others do.
For a bit of background, Limerence is from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which is also known as where all those Amish folks come from. Doug, the guy behind Limerence sources all the material for his designs from vintage managzines like a 1950s copy of LIFE or his parents yearbooks, or newspaper clipping, basically anything from before 1974. I'm not really sure where that puts him in terms of copyright law and I'm not going to pretend to have any idea about that kind of thing, but hopefully the images have been manipulated enough for them to be okay in the eyes of the law. It's funny how willing people are to accept possible copyright infringement when cool tees are involved!
Their website could do with a bit more to it though, it's just a Big Cartel storefront at the moment. There's not really anything wrong with that, but they've clearly done a photoshoot, and Doug can clearly write judging by the e-mail he sent me, so why not pad out the site a bit more?
*2011 will also be the year of me getting a Ferrari and penthouse apartment in New York, in that case.

Normally we only like to post good news, this time we are very disappointed to be sharing bad news.
On the evening of Wednesday 12th April 2017 Telford Steam Railway was struck with some mindless vandalism and on the 13th. And as volunteers were cleaning up, the perpetrators who are believed to be 3 children Aged 12/13, returned and threatened a volunteer with a metal bar.
We estimate approximately £5000 worth of damage and 300-400 hours worth of work to repair (mostly due to the number of windows being broken)
Anyone who might know anything should contact West Mercia police.
Damage to our BSO, which only arrived recently and is awaiting restoration.
Damage to DMU stored on site
Damage to Jamo (Volunteer owned Diesel loco)
Damage to MK1 LFK (A prototype and one of only four built – currently midway through restoration)
Damage to Award Winningly restored DMU (Volunteer owned, currently under interior refresh)

Tomkins marked the completion of Stage 1 of UQ Gatton's JK Murrary Library redevelopment, three weeks ahead of schedule! We presented the client with the same shovel that we used to turn the first sod late last year.
A beautiful sunny winter afternoon provided the perfect backdrop on Sunday for Tomkins' Annual Picnic!
The Tomkins team attended the official opening last week of the 'Baskerville Sports Centre' at Parklands Christian College - proudly built by Tomkins!
The Tomkins team has walked away with two wins on Friday night at the Brisbane Master Builders Housing & Construction Awards.
Thanks to all those that came along to our breakfast event last week, where we co-hosted with ThomsonAdsett as part of their FOTI event series.
At 6.41pm on Monday 26 June, a fire started on the Tomkins' site on Hamilton Road in Chermside. Four intruders were filmed on Tomkins' site security CCTV cameras, and the fire appears to have been intentionally lit with evidence left on site.
Residents of the Peninsula will be offered a new lifestyle opportunity as BallyCara CEO Marcus Riley was joined by Tomkins Director Mike Tomkins and Moreton Bay Regional Council Mayor Allan Sutherland turning the sod on a new three level apartment complex within our retirement living and aged care community.
Congratulations to everyone involved in the build of the new Chermside Library & North Regional Business Centre. Officially opened on Saturday by Lord Mayor Graham Quirk, the new library had over 2,000 visitors over the course of the day!

2012: Follow Up
If you haven't read yesterday's post yet, I would encourage you to do so.
My attempt to lay the ground-work for the course of Eve in 2012 came down to several core concepts, the details of which are not as important in the strategic sense. In the planning/idea phase you are better off keeping your attention on the big ideas, the over-arching themes, and let the details form when it comes time to develop tactics to support the strategy.
The major themes for Eve in 2012 are, in my opinion:
• DUST integration
• Subscriber growth
Tomorrow I'm planning on outlining my thoughts on building new-subscriber growth in 2012. Today however, while we are still in the strategy phase, I'd like to revisit some of the core ideas that I presented yesterday.
I believe it is time to introduce another race to New Eden. We have many to choose from, the Enheduanni, Yan Jung, Takmahl, Talocan, Sansha, and of course, the Jovians themselves. I chose the Jovians for my example simply because they have space. Certainly the folks at CCP could give any of the races additional space simply by adding it to the universe. Which is one of the great things about LORE VS. CANON.
Lore is the fictional backstory that supports Canon. Lore is constantly changing, being updated and manipulated to serve Canon. It doesn't work the other way around. Canon is the factual information present in-game. It is also constantly changing, but slower than Lore and usually in a more subtle way.
Whatever the Jovians, or any of the other races, may be in Lore can be altered, updated or modified based on Canon. So, for example, some lone ship gets sucked into a WH and pops out into Jovian space only to find it strangely empty. From that single sentence there are dozens of good writers that could form the foundation for getting the Jovians actually into the universe of New Eden. It's called imagination.
But that isn't even the point. A new playable race has been hinted at as long as WiS and it is time for it to happen. Personally I think the idea of a race based on Cross-trained multi-racial skills is extremely interesting and valid. This wouldn't limit the new race to only older players as some have suggested, you need to think differently. A Rookie player that chooses the new race would train skills the same way we all did, only he would choose from the skill sets from all four of the other races and his own. Heck, I know many players that decided to cross-train virtually from day one. This is no different.
Certainly the older players would have some benefit. Which is their right, since they are older players. But it would only be an availability issue, not one of distinct individual advantage. This kind of thing exists already. When the new BC/BS enter the game in a few weeks I will be able to fly all four of the ships from Day One. (And I plan on it!) Does that give me an unfair advantage?
And then there is the aspect that I didn't touch on yesterday, which is what to do with the newly discovered or recently available new space? My suggestion is this, since FW has been largely ignored for so long, we strive to make the new space a FW playground. Think about it for a second, newly discovered space? I think all four races would be extremely interested in taking possession of such new treasure and would fight hard to do so. So (and let's continue using the Jovians) newly opened Jovian space could be contested space. Originally it would be discovered without Gates and only accessed by jumping to cynos brought in thru newly discovered WH. But each faction now has the ability to build and control Gates for themselves. Said Gates will directly connect to their faction space in Empire only as long as they control the Gate.
Man, I am so full of idears. Heck, given that scenario I might even join a Faction and play in Jovian space for awhile. Obviously we'd need something really awesome and cool in there to make all the fighting worthwhile... and that would be the missing element. The one thing you need to build Jovian tech which can only be found in Jovian space? I dunno, I'm not as smart about industry things and anytime I try I tend to make people angry. So you guys figure that one out.
A new playable race by this time next year?

Comments on the nature of human relationships, in life, at work and with ourselves. Updated every other week.

Limits to Growth
Early on in the Man Booker prize-winning novel "The Life of Pi", the setting is a zoo, where at the entrance a sign instructs visitors that by drawing back the curtain, they will see the most dangerous animal on the planet. Of course in drawing back the curtain, visitors see only a reflection of themselves in a mirror.
The idea that we are our own biggest limiting factor has been the self-improvement mantra for almost 30 years and yet it is the hardest one for most people to do anything about. It is easier to change our jobs, change our home, change country, change partner even but still, no matter where you go, there you are, and likely with the same self-limiting factors. So, just what are the parts of ourselves that we can change and what are the parts that we cannot; and even more importantly, how can we tell the difference?
In biology, the "Sigmoidal Curve" (or S-Curve) is used to explain the potential growth of something organic, a tree, for example. The curve starts low, rising rapidly depicting a growth spurt at the start of the tree's life, followed by a levelling off as growth plateaus in its middle years, and finally a drop as the tree begins to decline and decay. Every tree of a particular species, in theory, has the same potential, however the sigmoidal curve is used to highlight the impact that various factors will have on the tree's growth: the amount of available sunlight, the tree's proximity to other trees, the quality of the soil perhaps, the availability of moisture, and so on. A biologist can use all these factors to adjust the individual tree's sigmoidal curve to something more attainable for this particular tree.
Although we human beings are much more complicated than trees (according to most!) the analogy is one that I can identify with, as someone who facilitates improvements for people, to illustrate what is truly possible for someone seeking change through psychotherapy, coaching or hypnotherapy. Identifying what the limits to someone's growth, potential or achievement are, can often help a client identify what they are prepared to change and what they cannot, or indeed do not wish to change. If it relates to their family or loved ones then it might be that they accept this and carry on as before. If it is something fundamental to their personality, such as core values, ethics or temperament, then these are likely less changeable also.
A key area that I explore with clients wishing to achieve new goals or experience happier relationships is the concept of holding "core beliefs" about themselves which relate to their abilities, their behaviour and how they fit in with the world around them. Here's an example of some cognitions (thoughts) of one of my clients wishing to relate better to others, which we then used to uncover his most self-limiting core belief. His cognition was along the lines of "If I do not do mostly all the talking then I will be considered stupid", with his core belief being "I am stupid" (a high-achieving business man by the way). Holding a core belief such as this one is unfortunately far more likely to confirm the negative belief of "I am stupid" than negate it however. If you are doing all the talking, then you are most probably doing far less listening (and so learning, empathising, relating, etc.). Negative core beliefs, firmly held for a long time, often unconsciously, are usually the biggest limiting factor contributing to adults not reaching their desired potential. This is a key area that I work to identify with my clients wishing to attain new levels of performance, whether in relationships, sport, at work, in the performing arts, etc.
Sally (name changed), a court-appearing trainee solicitor, came to see me as she was having difficulty with public speaking. Each time she prepared to stand up in court, she prepared, rehearsed, but mostly worried, knowing how important it was to her career and each time dreading the experience even more. The first time Sally stood up to speak, her mouth literally dried up, she felt the presence of a hundred eyes upon her ("drilling holes into her") and was unable to coherently and calmly present her case. Sally, knowing that she was not performing as well as she needed to in this area of her job, sought me out with a view to overcoming her "public speaking phobia" as she described it. This is a good example of someone holding the necessary skills and possessing the attributes needed for being a good court lawyer, however with a negative core belief about herself which was severely hampering her abilities. The negative belief which we uncovered came from thoughts along the lines of "unless I do the presentation perfectly then I am a failure", "people will think that I am useless", etc. and so the unconscious core belief that she recognised was "I am a failure". The pros of holding this negative core belief of being a failure meant that Sally was pretty driven to achieve, however it had now become a limiting factor in Sally's "Sigmoidal Curve". Ironically, negative core beliefs usually become largely self-fulfilling i.e. in attempting to mask or deny the core belief, we bring about exactly what we wish to avoid.
Sally and I worked together over a couple of sessions, both on the behavioural aspects of how Sally could modify her anxiety and also on the cognitive bit (the thoughts that whirled around in Sally's head as she stood up to present her case). In summary, from a behavioural perspective, we worked on Sally reducing the perception of "eyes drilling into her" into something more realistic and less hypervigilant i.e. Sally was tasked with noticing how she watched every other solicitor in court - was she really paying attention to their every word, noticing any change in skin tone & being as hypervigilant as she was being with herself? Her answer, unsurprisingly, was no. Also, in identifying the link between her thoughts of being a total failure, the feelings of fear and anxiety and the physiological response of having a dry mouth, needing to visit the bathroom, losing her ability to think clearly and rationally on her feat, and heart pounding due to adrenalin being released, allowed us to work on modifying her catastrophic thinking into something more realistic and flexible which in turn vastly reduced her adrenalin surges. I introduced the concept of feeling the fear and doing it anyway and new, more helpful cognitions, such as: "I can make some mistakes and still be ok"; "people aren't as interested in me as I think they are"; "the more I do this, the easier it will become, if I accept doing ok rather than doing perfectly". Using hypnosis, I was able to link these thoughts with feeling more relaxed and thus reduced the levels of adrenalin likely to be released. When we are more relaxed, we are more focused and able to draw upon the full extent of our training and knowledge. In this way, something which had the potential to severely limit Sally's career prospects in this field, was overcome. This is a fairly typical approach for anyone experiencing debilitating performance anxiety.
If you think you are not reaching your potential, or notice that you always ruminate afterwards about how you could have performed better if only you hadn't done "x" or if you'd said "y", then it can be useful to explore what your personal limiting factors are, and whether you are willing to do anything about them. Acceptance of the status quo or change are then both realistic options!

Spring time is all about being outside, and what better place to host an outdoor tea? Makeover maestro Martin Amado has some tips to get the garden party started.
WSVN — Martin Amado: "On today's Room for Improvement, it's all about creating the ultimate garden party. I have tips to decorate your table and also create the perfect beverage station for entertaining outdoors."
Martin Amado: "Instead of using paper plates, you can up the style level and use melamine plates. They look like the real thing, and they're super durable."
Martin Amado: "The same thing applies to your glasses. These are plastic and shatter proof."
Martin Amado: "Yes, these are paper napkins. I'm going to show you how to embellish them to make them look more special. With a simple rubber stamp, I'm going to give them a monogrammed look. "You have a custom look for less, and the best part is, you can easily throw them away."
Martin Amado: "Some comfy cushions around the tables, and now we are ready for our beverage station."
Martin Amado: "A picnic throw makes a great tablecloth. Love the colors."
Martin Amado: "I love the idea of creating a do-it-yourself beverage station. For example, here we have a glass dispenser, and I infused the water with orange slices, and here we have a single cup brewer, not only for coffee but also hot chocolate, and it even makes iced beverages which is perfect for summer. I love the white color, too. Cheers!"
Martin Amado: "Keeping in line with our garden party, I'm using Mason jars as a cute little cup."
Martin Amado: "And now we have the perfect setting for entertaining outdoors. All that's missing is that BBQ, so fire it up and remember to keep cool. Until next time, I'm Martin Amado for 7News."
Looking for help planning your own party? Email Martin for suggestions at email@example.com or give him a call at 305-576-home or 954-962-home.

LEICESTER — Daryle Stone didn't have much use for school — or at least that's what he thought 14 years ago as an Otter Valley Union High School freshman.
He wasn't learning things as easily as his classmates, some of whom teased him for being "slow."
"I'm the type of person if you made fun of me, there was a confrontation," Stone, now 28, recalled.

ADDISON COUNTY — The Vergennes Police Department, in joint operations with the Bristol Police Department, recently conducted undercover purchases of heroin from two women in Addison County.
Both women — Jolee A. Ladd, 39, and Carrie A. Chappell, 43, — on May 22 were subsequently arrested during the execution of a search warrant by the Vergennes, Bristol and Vermont State police and the Addison County Sheriff's Department at their home at 1454 Fern Lake Road in Leicester.
LEICESTER — Leicester residents on Tuesday voted 68 to 61 in favor of a slightly scaled-back version of the 2013-2014 elementary school budget of $1,127,521 that they had defeated on Town Meeting Day.
The new spending plan of $1,117,640 reflected $9,881 in cuts, resulting in a 5.4-percent increase compared to this year. Cuts made by the Leicester Central School board included around $2,140 in health insurance-related expenses, $2,758 less in compensation for the school nurse position, and a $5,000 reduction in administrative salaries.
LEICESTER — Residents here will return to the polls on Tuesday, April 9, to vote on a revised spending plan for the Leicester School District.
The school board is proposing a revised budget of $1,117,640 for fiscal year 2013-14. That represents a spending increase of $56,982, or 5.4 percent, over the $1,060,658 budgeted for the current year.
The board's first offering was rejected by voters on Town Meeting Day by eight votes, 73-65. That $1,127,521 spending plan would have raised the budget by $66,863, or 6.3 percent.
LEICESTER — Unlike Otter Valley Union High School, which lost 13 students compared to the prior year, falling enrollment is not an issue at the Leicester Central School, which grew by 13 students — yet, oddly, costs are still up at the elementary school.
According to Leicester School board member Connie Carroll, current enrollment at the school stands at 71 students, up from 58 students last year. Carroll said they expect 74 students next year.
"We're projecting a 20 percent increase over the next three years," she said.
LEICESTER — Vermont State Police are investigating the source of a fire that caused extensive damage to a home on the shores of Lake Dunmore in Leicester last Thursday morning.
Brandon and Pittsford fire departments responded at a little after 10 a.m. on Jan. 3 to a residential structure fire at 236 Sage Court. The home was unoccupied at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. The Rutland Herald reported that homeowners Jeff and Cheryl McDonough were away on vacation.
LEICESTER — Vermont State Police are looking for the driver of a vehicle who allegedly struck a girl while she was walking along Lake Dunmore Road in Leicester on Tuesday, Sept. 4. The juvenile victim reported being hit by the side mirror of the blue mini van as it passed by. The girl was evaluated for possible injuries following the incident, according to state police. The mini van, which has a spare tire mounted on top, was last seen heading west on Fern Lake Road, toward Route 7. Anyone with information is asked to contact the state police in New Haven at 388-4919.
LEICESTER — They may have to agree to disagree.
The Leicester and Salisbury selectboards held a joint special meeting on June 14 to address concerns of a handful of residents in both towns regarding the annual Vermont Sun Triathlon series. While race organizers said some minor changes may be made to appease the residents, it all comes down to coexistence.
The triathlons, which are run on four Sunday mornings each summer, include a swimming portion in Lake Dunmore, and biking and running legs on Route 53 and other nearby roads.

Andy Gibson is one of the promising new artists in country right now. He's had success as a songwriter and he made it all the way into the top 30 on the charts with his debut earlier this year. Now he's ready for something more with his second single. Check it out.
Summer Back – Andy Gibson
Earlier this year Andy Gibson started making a name for himself. Now he's ready to continue climbing the charts with his next single.
The song, Summer Back, is really the perfect summer song. It's fun. The melody is catchy. It's about being in love and enjoying the time you have during the summer with someone you love. It's really catchy and fun to sing along with and I think it's going to be a top 20 hit.
The narrator in the song is looking back on the summer he had with the girl of his dreams. They spent the entire summer on the beach enjoying each other. There wasn't a worry to be had. They were all about each other and enjoying life. Maybe that's what we're all supposed to do. Why do we care so much about work and all the extra business out there. I think that's why we all look back so much wondering if we should go back to those days of carefree living.
Andy Gibson is really talented. His first two songs now have been great and I think he's starting to build a really strong fanbase. If he keeps bringing songs like this to the table he could find himself at the top in just a short time.
What do you think of this new song?
Does it sound like a hit?
Chart Estimate: #20
CML Points: 83/100

Here goes...I don't think I have ever created a blog, I am going to give it a try.
Being a life time fan of TAGS, I remember well the days of the first runs of the show as a kid sitting in front of that black and white TV. We had one of those mounted in a cabinet that looked like a piece of furniture. I think I even watched the moon landing in black and white!
It would be many years before we would ever own a color TV. I am thankful for this age of entertainment as in those days there was a lot of quality put into the shows that were produced for family viewing. In those days censors did a good job of making sure things were held with moral standards.
I really think the black and white era added a lot of character to the old movies and TV shows. Funny thing, one of my co-workers who is in his 30's claims he does not watch anything in black and white. This was his response one day as I was telling him about TAGS. My response back to him was, "Well, there are some episodes in color too!"
I have enjoyed reading many books and learning from others in this community as we share our love and devotion to the show. One thing that I have always been very interested in is the behind the scenes and production of the show. I remember hearing Andy saying once on an interview that every show was shot with one camera and was shot as a movie. The end product is a true testimony to this. There is a rich quality in the look and feel of the show as it was not filmed in front of a studio audience as most sitcoms are done.
The use of the old 40 acres back lot where the fictional town of Mayberry existed gave the show life. We all became so familiar with the streets of Mayberry that I believe could all map it out, house by house, store by store. Mayberry became a real place in our minds. Most of us that love the show so much can somehow relate to the town and the people. We became so familiar with the characters in the show to the point we always felt they were there. One example is Ernest T. Bass, he was only in the show for five episodes...another was Barney's girl Juanita. We never saw her but she just seemed to be there just a phone call away.
Well, enough for now...have a happy Mayberry Day !
Photo taken by me on my last visit to Franklin Canyon in 2012. One of the few physical reminders of the show that still exist. Walking around this lake conjurers up a lot of memories of the show and you can just see in your mind, Andy and all of those who used to visit the lake on the show.
Views: 112
Very enjoyable!
Well said. If I live long enough and finish my "bucket list" one thing on it is visit Franklin Canyon and walk the trail Andy and Opie walks on the opening of the show.

Even with all the technological advances in the world I don't think our society will ever truly be paperless. In fact, the recent technological advances seem to have created more paper to deal with in many cases. We have receipts, bills, insurance policies, certificates, investment statements, health records, and more. Then added to that is the daily influx of junk mail- magazines, catalogs, sweepstakes entry forms, etc. Today we will learn how to overcome paper clutter once and for all.
Your mail needs to have a designated spot. When you pick it up from the mailbox each day, bring it into the house and put it in the same spot. This can be a basket, a designated space on the kitchen counter, or on your desk in your home office.
Your goal should be to handle mail as soon as it enters your home. But at the very least try to have a set time each day that you go through the mail and deal with it, so you don't end up with piles of mail and magazines spread throughout the house.
• Magazines- only keep the current month's issue
• If there are articles that you want to keep for future reference or for a recipe, etc than invest in a 3 ring binder with plastic page protectors. Tear out the article that you like and throw away the rest of the magazine.
• Catalogs- When a catalog arrives at your home and it is not one that your regularly order from call the 800 customer service number on the back and request to be taken off the mailing list.
• Junk Mail- this should be immediately thrown away. If you like the coupons from the ValuPak, etc then clip the ones you like and throw the rest away. This will cut down on the amount of paper clutter laying around the house. To stop unwanted credit card offers call 1-888-567-8688 or write to Direct Mail Association Mail Preference Service at PO Box 643 Carmel, NY 10512. Include your name, complete address, zip code and a request to "activate the preference service". This means you will only receive those catalogs, offers, etc that you personally request. The Direct Marketing Association estimates that this will stop 75% of the junk mail that comes to your home!
• Bills- have a place for all the bills that need paid to be filed until it is time to pay them. This can be a plastic shelf divider, a basket, a file folder, an accordion file, etc. Whatever works for you is the best system to have.
• Invitations, fliers, etc.- We all get the invitations to weddings, special events at the senior center and family goings on. Have a place that you put all these and weekly go through and sort out what has already happened and throw it away. As soon as you receive any type of invitation or reminder with a date in the mail you should check your calendar and if you plan to attend go ahead and write it on the calendar so that you don't forget in the future.
Paper, in general:
• Newspapers- If you use the internet all major newspapers including the local papers are available (in their entirety) on line. If you are not computer savvy or prefer to hold the newspaper than be sure to recycle or toss newspapers at least weekly. Piles of old newspapers are untidy and create a fire hazard as well!
• Important personal papers- These include your will, birth certificate, social security card, passport, etc. Keeping these in a fireproof box is safest or use a safe deposit box at the bank. Other files you may have include 401k statements, bank statements, mortgage statements, stock/bond/IRA statements, warranties/instruction manuals, car information including car insurance and title. Keep your files organized and accessible according to how often you access them. If you only access certain papers once a year at tax time than file them in a banker's box in the attic. Keep files you need on hand in the file cabinet.
Next week: How long should I keep it? (paper that is)
Happy Organizing!

Hi, we're Jeremy & Kate!
We are full-time travelers dedicated to following our passions to wherever sounds funky or fun, dazzling or delicious, wild or whimsical, ridiculous or romantic.
Our lives haven't always looked like this, though: in our decade together, we collected a couple of degrees, logged too many hours in office jobs, bought a house, sold a house, and much more before eventually making our way from having never left the USA to being full-time travelers.
More than two years after leaving on that first one-way ticket, we're still all about working together to explore this incredibly beautiful world that we are lucky enough to live in.
We're particularly crazy about colorful cities, majestic mountains, beautiful beaches, delicious delicacies, and each other.
Join us as we continue to live out our escape clause from the predictable life that we once laid out for ourselves, wherever the wind takes us.

Just returned from a mind-blowing time in Las Vegas! Tired, worn out and dry…..yup, dry! There is no humidity there whatsoever and stepping off the plane in Florida reminded me what I had missed the past 5 days.
How one can miss that wet sheen of the Florida night is hard to comprehend, but it does happen….
Anyways, I am back home and the usual afternoon showers/thunderstorms made it to my neighborhood, right on schedule. I quickly decided to break out my new lightning trigger that I bought 2 weeks ago for the shuttle Atlantis launch, and placed it right in the back seat of my Ford F-150 to test the trigger. The above image is the first lightning that made it to the CF card.
The rest of this summer should be fun, just need to find the right location for some more fascinating lightning images……send me your ideas!
So here I sit in my hotel room, the Mandalay Bay, in Las Vegas waiting to finish the video edit for a client of mine. It has been a hectic 3 days
Shuttle Atlantis landing
So here I sit in my hotel room, the Mandalay Bay, in Las Vegas waiting to finish the video edit for a client of mine. It has been a hectic 3 days so far and though they are very pleased with what I have captured so far, my mind is mush…..
The space shuttle Atlantis lands in a few hours back in Florida and I don't leave Vegas until tomorrow afternoon. Safe to say that I won't make it to the landing pad….and there is no "next time" to get the desired images……guess what….life goes on. There are times when you really want to be there and unfortunately there are times when you just can't. This is the way the photo industry works, and the sooner you figure that out, the less stressed you will be. Trust Me!
To all of my colleagues who will be there, I wish you nothing but the best. Get the exposure right and make history, you've obviously put in the time and deserve to capture beautiful images. Make us proud.
I just came across a cool shot of mine that got picked up today: cool slideshow here-
Trevor Bayne is on FIRE!!!
Trevor Bayne won the Daytona 500 this past February but has not placed very well since that race. He has suffered health problems as well as sponsorship issues during this years NASCAR season.
Today, he returned to Daytona International Speedway with hopes of repeating his miraculous victory. However, he had a rough start when his car caught fire after his first practice session today, lets hope he can recover quickly and get the Woods Brothers team back to victory lane…!
