UNCG students get excited about study abroad at the Spring 2014 Study Abroad Expo
On January 23, 2014, many UNCG students paid a visit to the Elliott University Center's Cone Ballroom to check out the Study Abroad Expo, a day-long event dedicated to educating interested students about the Study Abroad and Exchange (SAE) Program at UNCG. The event was very well-attended and showcased the wide range of available study abroad programs and UNCG exchange partner schools around the world. Attendees were able talk to IPC Staff, former study abroad students, and international students studying at UNCG about study abroad opportunities, financial options, the application process, and how studying abroad can be a life-changing experience. The IPC holds the Study Abroad Expo at the beginning of each semester.
Since returning to the US, she has worked to encourage others to pursue positive experiences abroad. "I think every student should study abroad because it allows you to challenge yourself in a way that is unique from any other experience you'll have at your home university," she says. "You'll never have another opportunity to look at a map and be able to pick somewhere—anywhere—and live there so easily and affordably. And it will be the best experience of your life."

Eurocontrol released an Airborne Collision Avoidance System (Tcas in North America) training document entitled "Not so fast" in May, offering pilots fresh insight into how their personal flying habits might be causing some apparently bogus Resolution Advisories (RA) in crowded skies.
The problem stems from the ability of a modern aircraft to maintain significant rates of climb and descent. That performance trait alone does not cause RAs because ATC plans ahead, clearing other traffic out of conflict's way during altitude changes.
But all too often, according to Eurocontrol, pilots are maintaining a high rate of climb or descent until the last possible level-off opportunity. Because computers measure climb/descent rates against the closing rates of opposing traffic, waiting until the last moment essentially fools the technology, often creating an RA because the computer can't predict the pilots' plan to level off abruptly.
Eurocontrol is also concerned that pilots believe they know why they're receiving such RAs and often ignore them as nuisance alerts. "In real time," the document outlines, "pilots cannot and should not assess whether the RA is in fact operationally required." Eurocontrol's message: a second RA could well be missed by pilots trying to think faster than the computers.

I had a coronal browlift done about a year ago. I know it is more invasive and the old timey way but can it be reversed? The reason why i chose this as opposed to endoscopic is because i wanted a bigger forehead. Only problem now is that my brows are too high.
Can a Coronal Browlift Be Reversed?
Doctor Answers 8
Reversing a brow lift
Yes, this can be done, but is not particularly easy to reverse a coronal brow lift.
Dr. Mike Yaremchuk from MGH in Boston (a former professor of mine) has written and lectured extensively on this very topic. The technique involves re-opening the coronal incision, anchoring the forehead flap at the correct level, and freeing-up the posterior scalp to close the resulting gap.
I have not done this myself, but Dr. Yaremchuk's pre-op/post-op photos look convincing & impressive.
Best wishes,
Reversing a coronal lift
It is possible to partially reverse a coronal lift with the scalp advancement techniques described - but most likely it will not return to the brows to the original level.

Reversing Coronal Browlift
Hi gatorgirl29,
No, a coronal browlift cannot be reversed easily, largely due to skin removal at the original operation. However, some of the effects may possibly be improved, although with difficulty. Revision surgery would require to advance skin from the back of the scalp forward. Tissue expanders may be required to loosen the skin and allow adequate scalp movement.
Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.

Can a Coronal Browlift Be Reversed?
Coronal Brow Lift still remains the gold standard for Brow Lift procedures however, the surgeon must understand and follow the proper aesthetics of facial beauty for the procedure to be effective at achieving the desired results. Massaging the forehead and eyebrows can drop the eyebrow position dramatically and I'd advice doing that for 6 months before undergoing, a possibly unnecessary repeat operation.

Brow Lift Reversal
It is my opinion that a coronal brow lift would be difficult to reverse. If it had been performed through an endoscopic approach with internal fixation and not direct scalp excision (coronal) it could be released and remobilzed downward possibly. Once the scalp has been excised it would be unlikely to be able to get recruitment of scalp from the back of the head to move things "back down". Scalp as a tissue moves very poorly unless a very extensive procedure is performed. Time would be your best bet.
Over done brow lift
I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience. The good news is that it can be reversed by doing the reverse operation while freeing the posterior scalp and advancing it forward towards your brows. The surgery is more extensive and at times fixating the brows into their new position is required.
You should see an experienced board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon to perform the procedure!
Good luck

Reversing a brow lift
Time and maybe massage should result in some lowering of the brows . There are ways to reverse a coronal brow lift depending on the degree of residual scalp laxity behind the scar. Tissue expansion of the anterior scalp and forehead could give the necessary loosenes to allow the brows to come down. The approach would have to be out of the routine and a bit creative if the need is so great to lower the brows.
I have reversed a number of endoscopic brow lifts which is relatively easy as most of the scalp tissue remains albeit repositioned. The endoscopic brow lift can result in a bigger forehead also.
Correction Of A Too High Browlift?
A browlift of any type can not be surgical reversed. This would be particularly true for any excisional type of browlift where tissue has been removed to create the elevation of the brows effect. Time eventually will make the brows drop somewhat but this is likely not as fast or as much as you would like.

Costa Mesa, CA, United States, 2012/05/22 - Updated FDA legislation aimed at bringing food industry standards to levels existing in pharmaceutical industry - SYSPRO.com.
SYSPRO, a developer of best-of-breed, award-winning enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, announced today that SYSPRO ERP enables food manufacturers and distributors to fully comply with the newest rules recently issued to the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act.
According to SYSPRO, the company's ERP software enables food manufacturers and distributors to fully comply with the newest provisions of the FDA Food Safety Act. These include:
The companys computer system should be fully able to track Lot Controls and Shelf Life Dates of all products in both received and outgoing shipments;
If a recall occurs, the food manufacturer and/or distributor should know exactly which customers received products from the specified lot number;
When inventory is received or shipped, the system should be able to determine if a product is beyond the desired threshold for shelf life;
Products being shipped should be checked to see if they are outside the customers threshold for shelf life. If it doesnt meet the threshold shelf life, it should not be shipped.
Shipping the product beyond the customers threshold shelf life will result in returns, double freight bills and dissatisfied customers.

The Act aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus from responding to contamination to preventing it. Congress has been adding new rules to the act since its passage, the target being to implement the same levels of safety as those governing pharmaceuticals.

Significant history left out of letter
While portraying Israel as evil, the writer of a Sept. 6 letter unwittingly insults Palestinians, presenting them as blameless, hapless victims, not accountable for their own actions.
They are, however, full participants in the complex Israeli-Arab conflict.
The writer examines Israel's flaws under a microscope, but omits Palestinian behaviors toward Israel: suicide bombers, Hamas rockets from Gaza, Hezbollah's Israeli-aimed missiles from Lebanon, weapon-smuggling tunnels from Egypt and Palestinian leaders' refusals (Arabic and English) to accept a Jewish state.
The writer correctly states that in 1948 "Israel was born in violence." That "violence" was initiated by five Arab countries that — rejecting the U.N.'s offer of a Palestinian state — instead waged a failed attempt to destroy Israel (which accepted the U.N. offer).
Arab violence launched a war that created Palestinian refugees who have been forcibly kept by Arab governments — to this day — in shameful camps supported by U.N. and U.S. dollars.
All peoples, governments and countries are imperfect. But peace can never result when the goal of one party is to annihilate the other party.

Are you being made sick by job?
Did your job make you ill? Since 2000, Tri-Valley CAREs has facilitated a support group for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Sandia-Livermore National Laboratory workers who have been made ill from on-the-job exposures to radiation and toxic chemicals.
Only 40 percent of claimants who apply for compensation from the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act have been approved. The other 60 percent are denied, often unjustly. If you, or your loved one, were previously denied, you might want to reapply.
The next Sick Worker Support Group meeting is from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Oct. 2, at the Livermore Main Library, Community Room A, 1188 S. Livermore Ave. We will also observe a resolution passed by the Senate, called the National Day of Remembrance for Nuclear Weapons Program Workers.

It's not acceptable to discard trash
A Sept. 7 letter blamed merchants for dirty streets.
Merchants of Oakland's Chinatown, or any town, are not blind to trash in the streets. They want the areas where their shops, homes and schools are located to be as pleasant as possible. However, we as a society have allowed rampant garbage tossing to become an accepted norm.
At events, I've seen people toss their empty cups and wrappers to the ground, even when a trash can is within view. As you leave the nicest movie theater, you have to step carefully because people have left their "leavin's" for staff to clean up.
I've heard children told, after asking their parent where the garbage can is, to drop it on the ground because someone else will clean it up. We've all seen diapers and cups thrown from cars as they travel down the road.
This attitude and its result disgusts me and I have taught my children that it is not OK to do this. Pick it up and dispose of it properly. Be responsible.
Merchants are facing an uphill battle in the garbage wars, and their direct responsibility ends at the sidewalk.
Why do we put up with fouling our own nests?

Firing of symphony music director wrong
I am not a regular member of the Fremont Symphony, but I have played concerts with them many times over the years.
I was distressed and angered to learn of the recent dismissal of longtime music director David Sloss. It's bad enough that a jewel of the community was fired, but the way in which it was done was despicable; blindsiding a man who put his heart and soul into the Fremont Symphony for many years.
This decision not only disrespected him, but the musicians as well. If a new music director was wanted (which I don't concede as necessary), the normal course of action is to form a search committee and give the musicians a weighted voice in the process.
Instead, the musicians were told that they don't matter. What they are, in fact, is the symphony's main product and greatest asset.
I understand that there are financial problems, but those problems affect the music director and musicians as well, so let them participate in the solution.
Hire David Sloss back and invite him and the musicians into the problem-solving process. It's the right thing to do.

Originally described as a thin weathered surface. Natural patinas are usually desirable and are considered an indication of age. They occur on stone, wood, ivory, varnished paintings, and metals due to years of use, handling, cleaning, polishing, oxidation, and/or exposure to the environment. A uniform patina, such as a green copper carbonate layer on copper or bronze, can protect the metal from deleterious corrosion. Patinas can also be synthetically induced with chemicals, but this results in a different microchemical structure of the surface layers (see synthetic patina).

Another Cup of Joe
This case might have been on the minds of a Southern Illinois University student and her lawyer when they filed suit against Starbucks, on the campus of SIU-Edwardsville, in Madison County court.
The student, Molly Alter of Edwardsville, claim that the coffee she was served at Starbucks was in a defective cup and burned her hands. However, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Circuit Judge George Moran dismissed the coffee lawsuit, granting the same protections and immunity to Starbucks that the University receives as a state entity.
According to the Post-Dispatch:
Alter, a student in the university's graduate program in metalsmithing, alleged that her hands were burned on Dec. 3, 2003, when the cup crumbled. She contended that she was unable to complete her class work for the semester.
Her attorney, Matthew Marlen, said his client had made a "pretty good recovery" and was back in school.
The Court of Claims is the proper venue for the case," Moran wrote in his court order, referring to the forum set up by the state of Illinois to resolve all claims against state entities.
"We're disappointed because my argument had been that we were not suing the state," Marlen said. "We were not suing SIUE. We were suing Starbucks and there was no indication the university operated or had anything to do with Starbucks other than it granted them a right to operate on the campus."
Since 1992, this case has been hotly debated (no pun intended) amongst proponents and opponents of legal reform (check out a fine debate presented on PointofLaw.com). A similar cases is even being litigated in Russia of all places, however the plaintiff is only claiming $3,514 in damages ($14 in healthcare costs and $3,500 of "moral damage").
However, if you thought this was the first time a Southern Illinois attorney had thought to sue over a cup of coffee - you'd be wrong. In January 2001, the Murphysboro (IL) McDonald's owner, Short Enterprises, was named in a lawsuit with Wal-Mart, a cup manufacturer, and the plaintiff's own mother, in a case brought by attorney Eric Long.
According to the Washington Post:
Teresa Reed claims in the lawsuit against Short Enterprises, owner of the Murphysboro McDonald's, that a cup of coffee she bought at the drive-through window in 1998 spilled and scalded her ankle, allegedly leaving a permanent scar.
Reed said the coffee, which the suit alleged was "served at a temperature too hot for consumption and hot enough to scald the human body," spilled and burned her after she placed it in a cup holder in her mother's car.
The suit also accuses Reed's mother of negligence, saying Carol Sanders "owed a duty of care for the safety of others riding in her vehicle."

Woody Austin won his first PGA Tour title in six years after tense final day to the Sanderson Farm Championship ended in a three-man play-off, which the 49-year-old won on the first hole.
Austin, along with fellow American Cameron Beckman, were the stars of the final round during a tournament disrupted by adverse weather for the majority.
The duo shot rounds of 67 to tie with joint overnight leader Daniel Summerhays, who could only card a final round of 69 to take the tournament into a play-off.
Fellow overnight leader Nicholas Thompson finished two shots behind the leading trio while Billy Andrade was a further shot adrift after finishing the day with an impressive seven-under-par 65.
Austin becomes the eighth-oldest winner in the history of the tour and adds the title to the Buick Open, Buick Championship and Stanford St Jude Championship successes.

Upson can inspire our English players - Curbishley
Alan Curbishley hopes West Ham United's 'healthy contingent' of young Englishmen will be inspired by Matthew Upson's return to the England team.
Upson's form for the Hammers was rewarded on Wednesday night when Fabio Capello awarded him a first international start in over three years.
Hammers goalkeeper Robert Green and striker Dean Ashton were considered unlucky not to receive the call, while Mark Noble shone at the heart of midfield for the England Under-21s on Tuesday.
Curbishley said: 'We have a healthy contingent of players perhaps Capello should look at and they can all take inspiration from Matthew Upson.
'Franco Baldini, who does a lot of the scouting, was at our two games against Manchester City and the Liverpool game.
'We know we have been well watched so anyone who is playing at the moment has got to be looking to impress us at West Ham but also to impress the England set-up.
'We have got an English spine in our squad. Anton Ferdinand is playing well and Capello would have taken note of that.
'(Scott) Parker was doing ever so well before he got injured. Kieron Dyer was in the last England squad before he came to us, they will be looking at Dean Ashton and Mark Noble as well.'
After being sent out on loan to Ipswich last season, Noble has developed quickly into a vital cog in the West Ham side.
Last week Noble held his nerve to score the last minute penalty to beat Liverpool - and Curbishley would not be surprised if he had caught Capello's eye, especially with under-21 coach Stuart Pearce also part of the senior set-up.
Curbishley added: 'He is playing regularly for the under-21s and the Liverpool game demonstrated what he is about.
'When I play Mark Noble, I know what I am going to get. He gives it everything he has got. Stuart Pearce is a big fan so will have to see.'
When Upson joined West Ham a year ago from Birmingham he was out of favour with England and determined that a fresh start at Upton Park would re-ignite his international ambitions.
Upson was injured on his debut against Aston Villa and had to watch the majority of West Ham's thrilling survival campaign from the stands.
But this season he has been an ever-present in what is statistically the fifth best defence in the Premier League.
The challenge now for Upson is to maintain his form and keep hold of a place in the squad when more established internationals like Ledley King and John Terry return from injury for next month's game against France.
'We are all very pleased for Matty,' said Curbishley.
'He is a very good player, a very good professional and very good around the training ground. I don't think he has done himself any harm for the future.
'He has got to stay fit and keep playing well and wait for the next squad. I think he will be delighted with it.'
Upson will face Birmingham tomorrow for the first time since leaving St Andrews as West Ham look to bounce back from their defeat at Wigan last weekend.

For Tampa Bay Rays, it was "Nair the Bear" day
Wonder what teams to do pass the time and keep their spirits up during a long season?
Well, here's one example from Monday afternoon - though we'll spare some of the specifics:
The Tampa Bay Rays closed the clubhouse to the media, put bullpen coach Bobby Ramos, who is known as the Sugar Bear, on a chair in the middle of the room, and gathered to watch as video coordinator Chris Fernandez used Nair to take the hefty hair off Ramos' back.
"It was Nair the Bear Day. We just wanted to do something that may add to our potential of taking two out of three from the Yankees,'' manager Joe Maddon said. "After a tough loss like yesterday I wanted to make sure the guys were in the right shape mentally today going into this game. It was just one game. If we win this series it's obviously a good thing.
"Digalo Bobby wears a permanent sweater, so we decided to extricate part of his sweater and that was through the Nair process. ... It went over very well.''
Maddon said they used a full can on Ramos' back, and joked they'd need four or five more to do a complete job.

Pros :
Neat two-tone design; Decent build quality; Kid's Corner feature; Beats Audio (headphones only).
Cons :
No front-facing snapper; disappointing battery life when streaming video; Average display; gets hot in use.
This light, good-looking phone suffers from a poor battery life and dearth of features. It may be an affordable Windows Phone 8 handset, but we hoped for more.
We had high hopes for the Windows Phone 8S from HTC – it certainly looks good – but it has proved to be rather disappointing when it comes to performance. In this way it is similar to its bigger brother the 8S, which also looks and feels good, and it is clear that HTC has taken its time to produce a nice-looking phone.
This phone has got to compete with the likes of the Lumia WP8 phones from Nokia, so it needs to stand out from the crowd. It has a neat two-tone design, which comes in four different colour choices – and it looks pretty classy too.
There is only 4GB of onboard storage, although this can be expanded via a microSD card, which sits under a coloured tab at the bottom of the handset. It's also where you'll find the microSIM – it's a pity the battery doesn't lurk here too.
Where's the power
This is, of course, an affordable smartphone, so it only offers a 480x800 display and 512MB of RAM. The processor is of the dual-core 1GHz S4 variety, which means the WP8 OS works well, but it can't cope with power-hungry apps, and should you be able to find any intensive games in the Windows Phone Store, it wouldn't be able to run them well, either.
Which brings us to another issue with the Windows phones – the dearth of apps. Not only can Windows not compete with iOS and Android when it comes to the number of apps on offer, the ones that are available are not great quality and are not all optimised for the WP8 devices.
Also, we found that some of the apps are rather demanding of the user – Facebook and Twitter for instance, want to access location info when you're installing – say no and it kicks you out. True, you can accept and then disable the setting later on, but it's annoying and fiddly. Turn off location settings on your phone and you have no hope of accessing the apps. Even signing out can be hard – it took us some time to work out how to get out of Skype!
The battery is also a disappointment – it would be a big plus if it was possible to replace it. We just about got a working day out of a full charge, with very careful use, but stream video with the screen on full brightness and the juice drains after only 140 minutes. Very poor – and the phone got pretty warm during this test too, which is a concern.
Call me
We were impressed with the call quality, and lack of distorted speech from the speakers – and music lovers have the benefit of improved audio quality from Beats Audio, although this is only available if you're using headphones.
On the right of the phone is a dedicated camera key – although we weren't wowed by the five-megapixel snapper, which finds it hard to cope with low light, and also managed to add a strange haze to our snaps. There's also no front-facing lens for video calls. It seems odd as Microsoft owns Skype and is replacing its own messenger, MSN, with the service.
Mobile wallets
A USP of Windows Phone 8 is Microsoft Wallet, which lets you store loyalty cards, bank cards and vouchers digitally – it's a great idea but you won't be making contactless payments because the phone does not support NFC.
We have some other issues with WP8 – it's hard to find your way around the OS, as the icons all look the same, which means they're hard to distinguish, particularly on a four-inch display.
Our conclusion
The Windows Phone 8S by HTC is lightweight at only 173g, yet solidly built – and its design manages to be unusual without being over the top. And while there is a place in the market for an affordable Windows Phone 8 handset, this isn't one we can really recommend – the poor battery life, overheating problem and lack of apps just don't cut the mustard.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Shanghai, China, 2007/06/13 - Recent reports show that many multi-national 3PLs in China, despite the initial euphoria of having acquired or entering into JVs with successful Chinese counterparts, have yet to show an equitable return on their investments in China.
In fact, despite the initial promise of having door-to-door capabilities stretching from sourcing of raw materials and manufacturing of goods in China all the way to delivering finished products to the hands of consumers in the developed world have yet to reap justifiable returns. It seems that many of these multi-national 3PLs are still offering their services as if they were mere freight forwarders, and are having serious problems in getting their new offerings to the consciousness of shippers.
In light of this situation, the Global Supply Chain Council will organize a half-day workshop to be held on June 27 in Shanghai, China. The speakers include from international 3PL practitioners who performed well in China, as well as consultants who have delivered positive sales and marketing results for their 3PL clients in China.
This event will gather for the leading 3PLs and Fortune 500 executives to find out how to implement effective go-to-market strategies in China.

Case Studies,
Research and Analysis,
Best Practices
I'm at the Buying & Selling eContent Conference in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. The conference keynote was brilliantly delivered by David Weinberger, co-author of "The Cluetrain Manifesto" and Berkman Center Fellow. David presented a fascinating look at information architecture and organization and how people use content online.
You can read more coverage of the conference (and hear the audio of Weinberger's speech) on Rafat Ali's Paid Content. More coverage is on Ross Mayfield's blog (Ross is CEO of Socialtext).
Although the audience at this conference is electronic content publishers and buyers of content for large organizations, Weinberger's observations have important implications for all Web marketers. I'll try to paraphrase and explain. Weinberger says "everything is miscellaneous" – that is, people interact with content in different ways. He explained that the old view of information as a "tree" (with individual items as "leaves") has morphed to "a pile of leaves." Smart marketers are changing their sites to be piles of leaves, making it easy for people to search and browse using multiple criteria.
An example Weinberger used is online digital camera retailers. In the old "tree" metaphor, buyers only had one way to sort cameras – say by price or number of mega-pixels. Cameras have been posted on ecommerce sites using one path (price). In the new world, buyers can sort any way they want - brand, type of storage media, color, size - or any combination. And people search for cameras on sites such as Google in many diverse ways, such as: "digital camera," "photo equipment," or even "travel gear." To serve these buyers, innovative marketers tag content (in this case each model of digital camera) with appropriate meta-data so the cameras can be compared and searched across multiple criteria. Weinberger said that an example of a site starting to use this approach is electronics retailer New Egg. This is fascinating stuff and very important for effective marketing with content.

Bigger hole and more choices in bullets than the 7.62x25. Besides I can find .357 and 44 mag everywhere. My other favorites 44 spcl and 41 mag are harder to find in my area just like the 7.62x25 is.
As for choice of gun if I wanted to carry a pistol it's 10MM hands down but I'm also a revolver guy and more prone to carry one in the woods so anything between .357 and 44 mag is good by me.
Good intentions will always be pleaded for any assumption of power. The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern will, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.

A BRITISH jet-powered light bomber will come out of retirement after eight years to wow the crowd at Abingdon Air and Country Show.
The English Electric Canberra will perform an acrobatic duo with a Hunter subsonic jet in the skies over Abingdon on Sunday, May 4.
The 15th annual show at Dalton Barracks, expected to attract 10,000 visitors, will feature a three-hour flying show including Spitfires, Hurricanes and more.
The Canberra's appearance is particularly special for organiser Colin Smith, who shares a birthday with the plane's first flight - May 13.
He said: "The show is always popular because it is a good-value, family day out with something for everyone.
"It's early on in the year so people can get over the winter and get out enjoying the sunshine."
The Canberra, which could fly to a higher altitude than any other bomber during the 1950s, was retired by the RAF in June 2006, 57 years after its first flight.
It served in the Suez Crisis, the Vietnam and Falklands wars and took on roles such as tactical bombing and photographic and electronic reconnaissance.
Since 1999, the air show has raised more than £57,000 for Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance (TVACAA), £43,000 since 2007 alone.
And this year's show will feature a grounded appearance from the TVACAA helicopter.
Also on display will be a Hawker Sea Fury fighter plane, aerobatics from the Breitling Wingwalkers, an army Lynx helicopter display, an RAF Tucano and a Catalina amphibious aircraft.
The static display, weather permitting, will comprise some 70 aircraft with the RAF hoping to bring along a Tutor plane and Merlin helicopter.
Pilot Tony DeBruyn will make his first public airshow appearance since recovering from a near-fatal flying accident in 2012, with his American Rockwell Bronco.
As well as planes, there will also be falconry, Daleks from TV show Doctor Who and a stand from the 7 Rifles based at the Edward Brooks Barracks, Abingdon.
Neil Porter
Fellow organiser Neil Porter said: "We are delighted at the continued growth of the event in such hard economic times, but we aim to keep hopefully a nice family orientated, all round show in a relaxed atmosphere.
"My small dedicated team of committee members and volunteers on the weekend work hard and do a great job, though it is time consuming."
- The Barrow Road gates will open from 10am and the show will run until 5.30pm. Advance tickets, £12 for adults, £8 for OAPs and £4 for five to 15-year-olds, are available from abingdonairandcountry.co.uk

When this map was charted, Carter County was still part of Greenup County.
It's a lttle difficult to see on this map, but there is a trail from the southeast through Prestonsburg, West Liberty and Mount Sterling.
This is a very ancient trail which was used by Native Americans and served to connect the Atlantic Southeast with the Ohio River and points north
in Ohio and Indiana. It later served settlers from the central and southern Atlantic Coastal areas seeking land on the 18th century frontier.
Note that Ashland is almost nonexistent, while Greenup and Cattletsburg or major communities. How times have changed.
Kinniconick Creek is featured in central Lewis County. This is probably because the watercourse of this creek passes through relatively flat
terrain from near Carter County all the way to the Ohio River. This was certainly a well known ancient route of travel through this area.
North of "Little Sandy" is "Old town" (in present-day Greenup County), which still exists and has its own volunteer fire department.
It would appear that Old Town was "old", even when it was new ;>)
A possible explanation is that the site of Old Town was previously occupied by a Native American settlement, which was referred to as the "old town".
There is a community called "Tygarts Creek" west of Greenup, Ky. that appears to be present-day Triut, Ky. Truit lies on Tygarts Creek and
the map indicates that there was a major trail/road that connected it to Greenup. No known modern day road exists in that area.
The closest existing road is Ky 2 which goes southwest out of Greenup to Carter City, then due south to Olive Hill.
Once Rt 2 has gone through the hills south and west of Greenup, it intersects with the Tygarts Creek valley, which was a well-known principle
thoroughfare in pre-historic times.
The road/trail depicted on this map goes from Greenup more or less directly west to Kinniconick,
a routing that very roughly follows Coal Branch Rd (CR 827) west to KR 7, then Big White Oak Rd (CR 2070) to Horse Hollow Rd., the northwest a short
distance on CR 784 to CR 1021, west to KR 10 to the Garrison area. The present site of Garrison, Ky. corresponds to the community of Kinniconick on this map.
Two miles southeast of Mt. Sterling (near the "TG" in "MONTGOMERY" lies the site of Morgan's Station, the site of the last organized
Native American Indian raid in Kentucky. The escape route of the attackers led them through the area of Triplett, east through Carter County
at which point they divided, with one group following Tygart's Creek to the Ohio River, the other following the Little Sandy River north.
Note that Owingsville was one of the major towns in this part of the state. The trail between Owingsville and Flemingsburg passed through
Sherburne Mills. A remnant of the old community still exists. In 1839, this crossing of the Licking River was no doubt a forde. Later in the 19th century a
very long covered bridge was constructed across the Licking River here. The main road later bypassed the bridge, but bridge remained standing until the
1970's when it was destroyed in a fire started by local boys playing on the bridge. The bridge abutments are all that remain today.
Photos of the bridge may be found elsewhere on this site.
The community of Licking appears to be in the area of present day Salt Lick, Ky., in southeast Bath County.
Moorhead was not yet established in 1839. The community of Triplett appears to be located on the bottomland south of present day Moorhead,
and according to the map, on the other side of Triplett Creek.
The major waterway just south of the community of Licking is the upper reach of the Licking River. The river cut a deep canyon through the hills here
which was flooded by Cave Run Lake in the late 1960's and early 1970's. In prehistoric times, the Licking River was the principle route of
travel between this part of Kentucky and the lower Ohio River.
Note that the only community within the bounds of present-day Carter County is "Little Sandy", apparently today's Grayson, Ky.
The creek meandering west below "Little Sandy" is probably Barrett Creek. Further south, the next creek entering the Little Sandy River
from the west is probably Little Sinking Creek and a little farther south would be the longer Big Sinking Creek which originates in
modern day Eliott County.
Note the ridgeline that defines the boundary between Greenup County on the east and Fleming and Bath Counties in the west. This is a natural
"continental divide" in this part of the state and is noticeable as you drive through this area. US Route 60 ascends this ridgeline as it
exits Carter County and enters Rowan County. County Road 474 likewise crosses over it just before it intersects with US 60 just inside Rowan County.
Interestingly, when the railroad right-of-way for the the predecessor of the C&O and CSX Railroads was surveyed, instead of following the main
branch of Tygarts Creek, the right-of-way was routed along CR 474 through Limestone, Lawton and Soldier. This is significant. Railroads are
generally routed along the path of minimal grade change (trains on wet rails don't like grades).
This fact is one of the reasons for my speculation that the original Native America (and American bison) trail through Carter County
followed this more southerly route paralleling the Soldier Branch of Tygarts Creek.
Contrarily, US 60 engineers chose to follow the more northerly route.
Although, the railroad did have to pass through the ridgeline using Triplett Tunnel, there appears to be a narrow meandering
pathway between the headwaters of Soldier Fork and Triplett Ceek that requires much less climbing than a pathway from the headwaters of the main
channel of Tygarts Creek to Triplett Creek would require.
It's a little difficult to relate the path of Tygarts Creek to todays topography. Around the "E E" in the name "Greenup" on this map
a major tributary joins Tygarts Creek from the west. One possibility is that this is Buffalo Creek, which is formed by Smiths Creek and
the southern branch of Buffalo Creek at Carter City. The general relationships of the creeks fits,
although distances and lengths appear to be inaccurately drawn here.
The sweeping bend in Tygarts Creek on the map in the area of todays Olive Hill is very curious.
My preferred explanation is that the small creek joining Tygarts Creeks north of the sweeping bend is actually the principle creek bed of
todays Tygarts Creek, and what is shown on the map as Tygarts Creek following a "wide sweep" to the east, south and then almost due west is in fact
the Soldier Fork of todays Tygarts Creek.
The wide sweep could be an exageration of the route of Tygarts Creek around Garvins Ridge west of Olive Hill. On the ground,
the sweep of the creek seems greater than it is when rendered on a modern map. Importantly, the Soldier Fork of Tygarts Creek does turn due west
from Olive Hill and its headwaters at the Rowan County line are very near Triplett Creek, just as depicted on his map.
There appears to be a community identified as "Triplett" on the map very near the location of present day Morehead, Ky.
Resolving this Tygart Creek routing is critcally important because it determines the placement of the original Midland Trail. On this map,
the Midland Trail goes more or less due west from Little Sandy (Grayson), probably along the path of Sinking Creek to the Grahn area, thense along
Cory Branch to the Olive Hill area. Once in Olive Hill, the trail would have either found a way over or around Garvin Ridge, and then followed the
course of Upper Tygart Creek (or Greasy Creek) across the Rowan County line, or alternatively, the Midland Trail could have followed the Soldier
Fork of Tygarts Creek, through Limestone, Lawton and Soldier, then into Rowan County to follow Triplett Creek on to the west.
As it stands, the routing of the original Midland Trail is unresolved.

Challenges for fruitful participation of smallholders in large-scale water resource management organisations: Selected case studies in South Africa
In South Africa, the 1998 National Water Act has created two user-driven water resource management organisations, namely the Water User Association at the local level and the Catchment Management Agency at a larger catchment level. The paper investigates some challenges concerning the participation of smallholders in water resource management organisations involving also large-scale users. Specifically, the paper analyses the possible discrepancies between the needs of smallholders with regard to water and the functions of these organisations. A simple typology of needs concerning water is presented and used to classify the main problems faced by smallholders in selected case studies. In some of the cases studied, smallholders need above all funds for investment in waterworks and their operation. They are not directly affected by water resource management issue, a lack of overlap between their needs and the functions of a water resource management organisation might lead to their unsustainable presence within the organisation. In such cases, one alternative is to achieve cross-subsidization. The National Water Act calls for it, without providing specific requirement. The proposed creation of small-scale user forums in the Olifants Water Management area can be described as cross-subsidization. It might improve the internal organisation among smallholders and give them a voice. Some funds will be dedicated to forumsÂ' activities, but they are not entrenched as part of the core functions of the Catchment Management Agency. This analysis shows the importance of undertaking an assessment of smallholder water related needs to orientate the public participation process.

Y'all are killing me!
Y'all are killing me!
Some of his comments are amusing and give a laugh in an otherwise boring series, but I do think he has a mean streak.
"That's Numberwang!"
So is Clay the "Richard Hatch" of Survivor Thailand? I remember earlier in the year, Jeff said there would be a Richard-like player on this series. Clay certainly has the jerk part of it down.
Very true Jodaar. I still remember that 'diamond in the rough' comment.
Clay has been a jerk, but should he make it to the F4.. he might be an underdog and I could turn and root for him.
Right now, he's a wee too cocky for my liking.
If you go through a lot of hammers each month, I don't think it necessarily means you're a hard worker.

First time momma here, planning a home birth. I'm very active and I've been feeling great, although getting a bit tired. The baby is a mellow one it seems like. Rolls and kicks everyday but nothing painful. The last few weeks when s/he is most active, I will regularly feel a bit of a head butt down on the cervix. I wouldn't say it hurts, but a little more uncomfortable than the upper belly movements. My bff had a baby in January, and never felt anything on her cervix.
The head has been down since at least 28 weeks, and at my 34 weeks appt. the midwife said, "Oh, that head is pretty well lodged. Are you peeing a lot?" Yep! But I drink so much that I always pee a lot. Since then though, I've been thinking about it, and realizing that the head just feels *heavy* in my pelvis towards the second half of the day. There is this pumpkin that I'm holding in my low abdomen!
Yesterday, I walked all over. A total of over 4 miles. I did lots of all fours and yoga in between (I'm a yoga teacher). On my last leg of the journey, the cervix pain was so sharp I cried out, had to stop in the street, and really thought for a moment that something big was going to happen. It subsided after a few moments.
This all makes me wonder if I'm going on the early side. I've been working *so* hard on settling in to potentially not give birth until July. To think about maybe giving birth in the first half of June is simultaneously awesome and terrifying. Mostly, I don't want to get any hopes up and then have a miserable few weeks waiting for the baby.
So, any thoughts? What's happening physically, do you think? Where should I get my head mentally? This incident yesterday made me a little scared of labor, perhaps for the first time. I know I can/will do it, but when it's really here, it's going to be crazy!
Thanks in advance!
I felt a lot of what you are describing, especially with my second. He was head down from 20 weeks on and really low from 32ish weeks on. It was nice to be able to breathe and not have hearburn, but I had trouble even sitting up strait for more than 5 minutes.
At 36 weeks I wouldn't be worried. You might have the baby on the early side, or your body might just be getting ready a few weeks early. I know I was 4 cm for at least 2 weeks and had him just after I was 39 weeks.
My third was breech till 37 weeks and that was just totally different pain. Nothing like a head in your ribs all the time, and when he turned- twice-Youch!
CPST, LLL and Mom to a 9yr old animal lovin' girl, 6yr old wild man, 4 yr old cuddle bug and 1 year old "little brother."
Now we are growing the family with chickens, ducks, and dairy goats.
I hate to say it, but I had pains like that for the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy. The cervix can dilate/efface over months or hours. It could mean that you'll have a shorter actual labor, but I wouldn't take this as a sign that you'll be early.
Wife to DH , mom to DS (4/09), and DD (8/11), and crafty and hardworking in my own right! In my parenting journey I've , , , , and. To each family their own!!
"There are words for people like me, but I don't think there are very many."
Thanks! I kind of wanted to hear someone say that had these pains for several weeks. Not that I want these pains for several weeks - but more that it helps me mentally to realize that I could still "go long." I'm going to keep walking, and of course, I'll let you all know in June and July's ddc when this babe comes :)
I had those pains for about 3 weeks. It was mostly after a lot of walking, and I believe it was my cervix dilating/effacing. I was about 3 cm dilated before I started early labor contractions. Labor started 14 past due date and we had to do practically everything to get labor started naturally. No worries!

Yeah, my gut says that's what's happening. They say from the ultrasound that I have a long cervix (which was good to hear at 18 weeks, when you definitely don't want to dilate), so if it's effacing and getting ready now, maybe that *does* mean that when I go, it won't take forever for my cervix to open.
We just never know. A very interesting experience though!
I have Stiff Person Syndrome and my other car is a candy apple red Rascal. Feel free to ask me about it.
I get them too with this pregnancy and my last. Sometimes it knocks me off my feet. Totally normal, though.
Evergreen- Loving my girls Dylan age8, Ava age 4 and baby Georgia (6/3/11).

In August of 2008 I had a breast lift with exchange of my saline implants for silicone implants (I had saline implants placed many years ago by another surgeon).
I decided to have this procedure done because I had lost a significant amount of weight resulting in sagging breasts. I had my saline implants exchanged for silicone implants because to me, silicone implants feel much more like breast tissue than saline implants. Silicone implants were not an option when I had my implants initially placed years ago. I decided to have the surgery because I was self conscious about the way I looked and it was affecting my self esteem.
I am so pleased with my results and my expectations were exceeded. My breasts look and feel completely natural. I feel confident about the way I look now.
There were no significant "cons" with the surgery. Having the surgery did require a week off from work but my pain was minimal. I was required to sleep on my back for several days after surgery for obvious reasons, and there were restrictions about the amount of weight I could lift and how high I could lift my arms.
Note that the cost of my procedure was more than the usual breast lift because I had the additional procedure consisting of the exchange of my implants and I also had the additional cost of the silicone implants.

Skerik's Bandalabra
Skerik, the enduringly saxophonic, punk jazz iconoclast is joined by three of his fellow Seattle hometown's most revered players: Andy Coe on electric guitar, Evan Flory Barnes on upright bass and Dvonne Lewis on drums.
Together, the quartet syncopates and snakes, floats free and snaps tight with hypnotic afrobeat rhythms, minimalist canons and improvised harmonics. There's a duality that demands listeners both dance and get lost in the sound.
On Bandalabra's debut album, "Live At The Royal Room," captured at the band's first public performance, the foursome head into the deep unknown. Halfway through the evening, they hit upon the illest of psych grooves, appropriately dubbed "Beast Crusher." Here the visceral and cerebral become one, and Skerik's Bandalabra is born a fully realized vision.
Shovelman is a junkyard beatnik, a shovel guitar wielding surrealist folk superhero. Armed with a collection of pawnshop effects pedals and an old barn-shovel turned slide-guitar, Shovelman plays ol' fashioned folktronica-grooves looped straight out of the ground. The sounds of Mississippi delta blues from the electro-psychedelic future, collide with the antiquated rubble of lyrical one-man-band hoboetry. Shovelman has become infamous on the west coast festival circuit (Lightning in a Bottle, Health and Harmony, Earthdance and The Oregon Country Fair) opening for bands that include Primus, Beats Antique, Sean Hayes and The Yard Dogs Road Show.
"Shovelman has forged a perfect merger of the past and the present with his bluesy 'folktronic' sound." - LA Weekly
"Shovelman's music would be playing on the radio if Tom Waits and Les Claypool ever went on a road trip together ......and were lost." - Chip, 'So Wat TV

UK retail sales grew in July at the slowest annual rate since November last year, while the government failed to make major inroads into a looming overshoot in public borrowing.
The figures add to signs that Britain's consumer-led recovery might be starting to slow.
Monthly growth in retail sales volumes unexpectedly fell to just 0.1% in July, down from 0.2% in June and bucking forecasts for a rise to 0.4%.
Annual growth in the volume of goods sold dropped to 2.6%, the weakest since November last year and again below forecast, despite prices falling at their fastest rate in almost five years, giving consumers more for their money.
UK government finances data showed an unexpected deficit in July for the second year running, continuing the weak start to this tax year, which is partly due to one-off effects but leaves the government reliant on a big upturn in income tax receipts to meet its fiscal goals.
Bank of England policymakers were split over raising interest rates for the first time in three years earlier this month, according to minutes published yesterday.
The ONS said the biggest downward pressure on retail sales came from non-store retailing and petrol stations, and some economists said the retail data looked healthier once fuel sales and monthly volatility were stripped out.
Britain's consumers have been the main driver of the country's economic recovery which began last year, helped in part by low inflation that has eased the pressure on their spending power.
Wage growth, however, remains very weak and increased spending has been funded in part by households cutting back on how much they save.
Prices in UK stores fell 0.9% on the year after being flat in June, the biggest decline since August 2009, the ONS said.
However household budgets are squeezed by higher prices for other goods and services, with the broader consumer price inflation measure rising by 1.6% in July.
The ONS also said today that public sector finances, excluding financial sector interventions, showed a deficit of £239m compared with a deficit of £1.047 billion in July 2013.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected a small surplus of £50m, as July normally sees big inflows of tax revenue.
The government aims to reduce public sector net borrowing, excluding financial sector interventions and some other factors, by 9.7% to £95.6 billion in the year to the end of March.
But borrowing on this measure for the tax year to date is 5.1% higher than the same time in 2013, largely reflecting a poor first three months of the fiscal year. For July alone, borrowing on this measure was down to £0.8 billion from £1.6 billion in July 2013.
A government spokesman said the greater year-to-date borrowing was due to a different pattern of receipts compared to 2013, when extra revenue came early in the year from a deal to recoup tax evaded by British nationals with bank accounts in Switzerland.
The government said it was banking on a big rise in income tax receipts in January to help meet its goal to halve British borrowing as a percentage of gross domestic product over the course of a five-year parliament.
The UK government is aiming to get the deficit down to 5.5% of gross domestic product in the 2014/15 fiscal year, down from 6.5% in 2013/14 and around 11% when it came to power in May 2010.

Alumni Profile: Walter Burgdorf, MD '69
Media Inquiries

Quarterly magazine

Wisconsin Medical Alumni Association
Follow Us
Walter Burgdorf, MD, a 1969 graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison, is a master of routine. For the past 40 years, every morning if at all possible, he has started his day the same way-by bringing his wife Dorothee coffee in bed.
With similar attention and care-and a little serendipity-Burgdorf has nurtured a rich career in dermatology on two continents. It has included clinical practice; pathological services; academic leadership; and medical writing, editing and translating.
Burgdorf is a world expert on a variety of dermatological conditions and skin cancer.
He is widely respected for his work in a variety of practices covering both clinical and pathological services related to skin. He is an academic writer, editor and translator of prodigious productivity. And he is co-author of one of the world's most widely used dermatology textbooks.
Burgdorf's home base for the past two decades has been the village of Tutzing, located on a finger lake south of Munich, Germany, with commanding views of the Alps. It's about 4,510 miles from Wisconsin, but he maintains a strong connection to Madison and his alma mater. As a class representative, he has helped plan many reunions and has not missed a single one since moving to Germany.
He counts several School of Medicine and Public Health faculty members as friends, including Robert Schilling, MD '43, Burgdorf's laboratory instructor during his sophomore year at medical school.
In a visit to Madison two years ago, Burgdorf recalls, "We bought subs at Fraboni's and had a nice lunch in Bob's office under the seventh-floor rafters of the old university hospital."
On such visits, Burgdorf may join Tuesday morning grand rounds and later take in some of the city's most venerable destinations. You might spot him trying on shoes at the Shoe Box in Black Earth (size 15), ordering a pizza at Paisan's or splurging on a turtle sundae at Michael's on Monroe Street.
"I absolutely love Madison and enjoy extolling its virtues," he says.
Full Circle to Germany
World War II produced a profound uprooting of Burgdorf's early life.
"I was born in Chemnitz, an industrial town in Germany, in 1943," he says. "My mother, an American citizen, and I left Germany on the first boat carrying civilians from Europe back to the U.S. My father, a German chemical company executive, followed a few years later. We wound up living in Shorewood, Wisconsin, where I went to high school."
Germany also served as the setting where Burgdorf met his wife. In 1970, he was sent to Germany while serving as a general medical officer with the U.S. Army. Eventually, he and Dorothee moved to the U.S., crossing the Atlantic on board ship as he had done years before with his mother.
Dermatology is strongly linked to Germany and France, Burgdorf notes. Before World War II, almost every academic American dermatologist trained at some time in one of these countries, he says.
Career Path
Burgdorf's interest in dermatology began in his teenage years when he developed severe acne. His dermatologist was UW-Madison's Roger Laubenheimer, MD '50.
"He was very kind to me and we stayed friends all these years until his death last spring," he says.
Burgdorf has never second-guessed his career choice.
"I was totally inept with a stethoscope so dermatology and later dermatopathology services were easy choices I have never regretted," he says with his characteristic self-deprecating sense of humor.
Following dermatology residency at University of Minnesota Hospitals, he completed a dermatopathology fellowship. He was fortunate to work with Juan Rosai, MD, one of the world's foremost surgical pathologists, to pioneer a tumor detection process involving labeled monoclonal antibody stains.
After a stint on the faculty at the University of Oklahoma, Burgdorf took a position as professor of pathology at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. In 1984, he was named chair of the department.
"New Mexico had a long tradition of innovation in medical education, so my work there was rewarding, although time-consuming," says Burgdorf, reflecting upon his nearly 10 years there.
He was considering other career options when serendipity played its hand.
A Second Career Blossoms
When his good friend Gerd Plewig, MD, became chairman of the Department of Dermatology at Ludwig-Maximilian University (LMU) in Munich, and another friend requested his help in private dermatopathology practice there, Burgdorf decided to strike out in a new direction.
"With little difficulty, I moved to Germany and switched from the U.S. system to the German one," he says, noting that he simultaneously worked at the university and in private practice.
He found private practice in Germany invigorating, as it offered opportunities to learn about aspects of dermatology not usually seen in the United States.
"Dermatologists in Germany are generally trained in allergy, they care for chronic venous insufficiency and leg ulcers and they may sub-specialize in proctology or andrology," he notes.
There was another twist of fate when unexpected writing and editing opportunities came knocking. His colleagues began asking him to translate German dermatology texts into English and to edit English articles. So in 1998, he gave up his German medical practice to concentrate on medical writing, editing and translating.
This part of his career has blossomed in the intervening years. He recently edited the 1,500-page Braun-Falco's Dermatology, started by Otto Braun-Falco, MD, a friend and earlier chairman at LMU. Using his expertise in translation, Burgdorf edited the fifth German edition as well as the third English edition. The sixth edition will be published in 2012 as will the historical tome The Pantheon of Dermatology, which Burgdorf edited and translated.
Burgdorf says he's probably proudest of the second edition of Braun-Falco's Dermatology published in the late 1990s and diligently typed on his antiquated computer.
Of Hiking, Reading and Reflection
Burgdorf enjoys reading books based on historical events. Currently he recommends Comedy in a Minor Key by Hans Keilson and Address Unknown by Kressman Taylor. Both small books offer insight into the lives of ordinary people during the Nazi regime.
Hiking is another favorite extracurricular. When he left New Mexico, he celebrated with a group of friends by hiking down and up the Grand Canyon. And two years ago he fulfilled a lifelong dream of hiking the 100-mile West Highland Way in Scotland.
Looking back, Burgdorf says his training in Madison was a launching pad of inspiration and innovation.
"I was lucky to be in medical school at a time when everyone knew everyone," he explains. "I am grateful that my clinical teachers instilled in me a deep respect for patients and the need for continuing medical education-before the term even existed."

Liam Hemsworth Learned About Birds + the Bees From His Mom… His Sex Ed Teacher [VIDEO]
Miley Cyrus' ex-fiance Liam Hemsworth, like any adolescent, learned about the facts of life from his mother. Big deal, right? The catch(ing fire) is that his mom was the sex ed teacher at his school, so he learned about the birds and bees in a very public forum. Yikes!
While sitting down for a chat on 'Live! With Kelly and Michael,' the hunky Aussie actor, promoting 'The Hunger Games,' revealed that "I was in her class – I would come in for the first part of it and leave half way through." When co-host Michael Strahan mentioned the awkwardness of parent-as-teacher, he didn't even know he half of it.
Hemsworth revealed his mother was the sexual education instructor, saying, "You have your mom talk about sexual stuff, it's not a class I'd like to be in."
Hemsworth was embarrassed by the situation and used "to put my head down most of the time."
Seriously, he had reason to.
He recalled, "We had this one time where we were given out cards of different sexually transmitted infections and you had to stand up and talk about the card and she picked me out of the whole room. It was like, 'Well, I have chlamydia … thanks for this, Mom. Good class.'"
Too cute!

|MAGDALEN NABB (2005 file/ap)
GENEVA -- Magdalen Nabb, a British author who wrote crime novels about a quirky Italian investigator, has died, her publishing house said Tuesday. She was 60.
Ms. Nabb died of a stroke Saturday in Florence, where she had lived and worked since 1975, said Diogenes Verlag AG, her Swiss publisher.
Her most popular novels featured Marshal Salvatore Guarnaccia, a Sicilian-born police detective described by Publishers Weekly as "an unusual protagonist for a crime novel: He's neither a Bond-like sophisticate nor a recovering loser."
She published 13 books in the series, the most recent being "The Innocent" in 2005. Her publisher said she had recently submitted a 14th book, titled "Vita Nuova," which is to be released next year.
Ms. Nabb said she started writing when Belgian author Georges Simenon stopped writing his acclaimed novels about French detective Jules Maigret in 1972. A lifelong fan of Simenon's, Ms. Nabb struck up a correspondence with the Belgian, communication that continued until his death in 1989.
Her publisher said that the first copy of each of her books went to him and that "she couldn't write as fast as Simenon read" because he asked her after each new novel where the next one was.
Born in the village of Church in northwest England, Ms. Nabb studied art and pottery and later taught at an English art school. She came up with the idea for Guarnaccia while working in a pottery studio in the Italian town of Montelupo Fiorentino.
Ms. Nabb also published 13 books for children and young adults, including "The Enchanted Horse" and "Twilight Ghost."
