text: Xylography is the technical term for the relief printing from a raised surface that originated in Asia. Typography is the term for printing with independent, movable, and reusable bits of metal or wood, each of which has a raised letter form on one face. This dry definition belies the immense potential for human dialogue and the new horizons for graphic design that were unleashed by this extraordinary invention in the mid-1400s by a restless German inventor whose portrait and signature are lost to the relentless passage of time. The invention of typography ranks near the creation of writing as one of the most important advances in civilization. Writing gave humanity a means of storing, retrieving, and documenting knowledge and information that transcended time and place; typographic printing allowed the economical and multiple production of alphabet communication. Knowledge spread rapidly, and literacy increased as a result of this remarkable inventton.

BREAKING NEWS! 'Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner!' Jennifer Grey Joins Cast Of 'Dancing With The Stars!'
It appears the 'Dirty Dancing' star will be putting on her dancing shoes 23 years after her iconic role as Frances 'Baby' Houseman!
It looks like the cast for the new season of Dancing With The Stars is filling out well before ABC's public announcement on Aug. 30, as it has just been reported that Jennifer Grey and Margaret Cho would be joining the reality program. EOnline reports, "Margaret Cho and actress Jennifer Grey are also among the celebrities who will be tangoing across the DWTS floor this year."
Jennifer and Margaret will be joining a cast that is said to include Rick Fox, Michael Bolton, Audrina Patridge, Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino, Brandy, Florence Henderson, David Hasselhoff, and the one and only Bristol Palin.
Producers had long hoped to snag Dirty Dancing actress Jennifer as well as her costar Patrick Swayze before he lost his battle with pancreatic cancer in September of 2009.

I've been largely immune to the cupcake mania that has swept the city (and the nation); I'm more of a flourless-chocolate-cake kind of girl than a gooey-frosting kind of girl. But my daughter's 16th birthday demanded a treat that could be served to the entire cast and crew of the play she's in the middle of, and over the last 20 years of child-raising we've had enough Baskin-Robbins cakes to last two lifetimes, so I set off in search of mini cupcakes.
I couldn't have been more pleased with the vendor I settled on: Polkatots, a relatively new spot well hidden in the back of a mostly Latino strip mall on Lake just north of Orange Grove. Although owner/chef Alma is making a name for her huge and creative cupcake cakes, what will bring me back again and again (and maybe again) are the mini dulce de leche cupcakes with caramel-drizzled buttercream. I cannot begin to describe how good these are.
This is just the sort of heartfelt, high-quality, hometown business that makes Pasadena as cool as it is.

Fox News reports that online powerhouse, Wikipedia, is not expressing interest in filtering software that would enable the site to block pornographic images. NetSpark, an Israeli company that specializes in filtering technology, has contacted Wikipedia several times to offer them their "smart" software at a heavy discount, perhaps even free, but parent company Wikimedia has thus far not responded. Marketing Manager for NetSpark, Sarah Minchom, says: "It seems like it's not a priority for them at this point."
What is most frustrating about Wikipedia's ignoring of NetSpark's offer is that Wikipedia founders Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales are both on record claiming that filtering technology is necessary on the site in order to block "not safe for work" images (not to mention the "not safe for children" aspect). Sanger left Wikipedia in 2002, but agrees that Wales should be working with NetSpark. What is particularly intriguing about Wales' and Wikimedia's non-action on filtering is that pornographic images are far and away the most viewed content.
By dragging their feet on free or nearly free software that could serve to protect unsuspecting eyes from obscene images, Wikimedia is proving that they value traffic over safety. While many viewers of these images may be clicking on them accidentally, a larger proportion of them are not. Wikimedia knows just how much traffic is being driven to their site by these images and they appear to be unwilling to cut this traffic off for the sake of protecting the unwary. Wikipedia relies on its traffic numbers to keep it in the top visited websites on the internet, but it also uses its high traffic statistics to raise money in donations. Higher traffic means higher donations, which means Wikipedia is able to invest more money in making the site even more powerful and more inclusive. Cutting off a large percentage of its traffic means cutting off a large percentage of its funding—and this is something that Wikipedia appears to be unwilling to consider.
Last year, Wikimedia released a statement on "controversial content," which claimed that they support "user choice" as well as "least astonishment." This is where the real rub comes in. Wikimedia claims to believe in the First Amendment, even to the point of making pornographic images available, yet they also say they want to limit "surprise content" that users aren't specifically seeking. Wikimedia is finding that saying and carrying out these two principles are two entirely different things. Wikimedia believes that free speech and free expression can only be "free" if they are not subject to a litany of restrictions, yet freedom from this content is also something that needs to be addressed. They can't have their porn and not have their porn. As for now, it appears that having the porn is more important to Wikimedia's definition of free speech than not having it.

the 2nd floor (present & future)
Me: "Thadeus, I cannot sleep and I want you to break up this party. The music is not loud but people are walking around in hard shoes and up and down the back stairs and I need my sleep etc..!"
Thadeus: "Jocelyn, I can't do that- these people came from far away. And I can't tell them not to walk around the apartment."
Me: "I have lived in many apartments and this (meaning disturbing other tenants at all hours) is not allowed. If it doesn't quiet down, Steve will be calling the police."
To add insult to injury after I hung up the phone, someone upstairs stomped all around the apartment- a very low blow I'd say- childish, which is how their guests tend to behave and doesn't incline me to be more tolerant.
Funnily enough, it wasn't any loud music that kept me up, just a dozen or so people walking around constantly in hard soled shoes- even high heels. Steve and I have decided we will profile future tenants by their choice of footwear.
Seriously though, we are plotting how to get them out early. We are right now securing our financing to have work done up there. The appraiser is coming this weekend.
Something you strippers might find interesting. We have been pricing out the cost of getting woodwork stripped. We were quoted $1.00/per linear foot and that was the cheap price. The higher price was $3.00/per linear foot. And we got another quote tpday that was $8/per foot. Who knew? We have to measure all the trim and figure out the price of this now.
The difference in price is the difference between "dip" stripping and hand stripping (preferable). As we all know, hand stripping takes a bit more time than throwing some boards in a vat and letting the paint slide off. Some say dip stripping damages the wood and I'm sure it could if the wood is left too long. Guess which one we can afford?

Bummer about the tenants. The sooner they get out the better. So who strips wood? Do they do other things or are they in the Yellow Pages under "Wood Stripping". At a $1/ sq. ft a 7-foot high, 1X6 door casing would be $3.50. Is that right? That sounds like a good deal. My biggest problem would be getting the trim off. The fluted Victorian casing wants to split and the thinnest part. At one point near the center the wood is only about 3/8-inch thick. It is a slow and painful process to get it off without splitting it some.

The guy we are planning to use is not in the yellow pages. We got his name from Jan's Antique's and he does refinishing of furniture, trimwork etc...
We will probably stain all the trim ourselves to save $$ too!
It's actually per linear foot- I corrected my post. An 8' piece would be $8.00.

Our neighbor did the dip stripping and I don't think that it looks all that good. The grain and colors seemed very muted. Of course, our woodwork is painted, so what do I know!
- Jocelyn said...
yikes- I hope it was because they didn't finish it properly. We don't have alot of choice really because it's too much to strip ourselves at once and $3/foot will get quite expensive.
- Kristin said...
How rude! (as Stephanie Tanner would say) Like it would've been so hard to at least remove the shoes before stomping around.
I'm doing my wood stripping with the trim still attaching to the wall b/c I'm afraid of splitting it. Not the most efficient method, though.

Terrible tenants! Over here on the east coast leases often have a requirement that around 75% of the floor be covered by rugs. If it's legal in Chicago it might be something to consider for future leases.
- Gary said...
Want to get rid of your tenants and not feel guilty? Collect the rent, then say "Hmmm, you know, this just isn't working out. If you leave by the end of the month, I'll give you this money back." Then they have the money to be someone elses problem.

I purchased a 1920 built home with quarter sawn red oak thoughout the house. Quarter sawn is the way the wood is milled. Very rare, but very distinct looking as well. And needless to say, VERY expensive. Because of this is why I found the best way to remove the trim without any damage. Here's a little trick for removing trim without splitting it. Take a thin (1/16th inch) nail set and drive the nail deeper into the trim, all the way thru if you can. Use two firm putty knives first to get under the trim. Loosen the trim enough with the putty knives so you can use a small (6") pry bar in place of a putty knife. Use the pry bar directly under the trim where the nail is located. I use two bars at the same time when removing trim. I use both flat sides of the bars first so I can loosen the trim enough so I can get one of the curved end of a bar in as close as I can to the nail. I also use the putty knife under the curved pry bar so the bar does not put a dimple in the wall. Removing the nails that are left in the trim should be done the proper way as well. DO NOT try to drive the nail back out of the trim. If you do this, the head of the nail will "blow out" the face of the wood. Some of you may know exactly what I'm talking about. Instead, place the trim face down and use a large pair of side cutters to pull the nail out. If done this way, any blow out you have will be on the underside of the trim, not it's face. Happy remodeling everybody.

Well said, mrwoodbutcher!

As the results of the 2016 US Presidential election clearly show, change is the only constant.
Now that Donald Trump is US President elect, the future of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (commonly referred to as "Obamacare") is anything but guaranteed.
Whether the new President will repeal the 2010 law and replace it in its entirety or keep some parts and kill others is still largely a point of speculation among pundits, physicians and the general public. (The US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is, however, delaying a case against Obamacare—House v. Burwell—until President Trump takes office, which would make a repeal easier.)
Americans are divided on what they want to see lawmakers do to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with one-fourth wanting to see President-elect Donald Trump and the next Congress repeal it while an additional 17 percent want them to scale back what the law does. Thirty percent of the public wants to see the law expanded and 19 percent want it to move forward as it is. These are among the main findings of a November Kaiser Health Tracking Poll, conducted one week after the 2016 presidential election.
There are definitely more questions than answers at this point. "We're really in uncharted territory here, so it's difficult to map out how his approach to governing will work when it's put into practice," says plastic surgeon Debra Johnson, MD of The Plastic Surgery Center in Sacramento, CA and President of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). "He has significantly softened his rhetoric, so we have to wait and see what will happen as pragmatism sets in."
Dream Team?
Here's what we do know so far: Mr. Trump tapped Representative Tom Price as his secretary of health and human services. Dr. Price, an orthopedic surgeon and Republican from Georgia, is vehemently and vocally opposed to of the Affordable Care Act. This appointment, in and of itself, tells us which way the wind is blowing.
The Price bill, the Empowering Patients First Act, would get rid of many key facets of ObamaCare including the government-run insurance exchanges in every state, the mandates on individuals and businesses and federal tax credits to subsidize the insurance of lower income Americans.
Instead, Dr. Price wants fixed tax credits based on age not income which allows individuals to buy insurance policies in the private market and supports expanded use of health savings accounts to allow people to save income before taxes. Dr. Price would repeal Obamacare's expanded Medicaid coverage in 32 states and the District of Columbia for able-bodied single people.
The ACA expanded Medicaid eligibility, resulting in eight to 10 million people gaining coverage, Dr. Johnson says. "As physicians we are concerned that if these patients become disenfranchised, care will be denied or delayed," she says. "This does not make America healthier, and delayed care can be an even bigger burden on the healthcare system."
As with Obamacare, people with pre-existing medical conditions or chronic illnesses won't be denied coverage under Dr. Price's plan. That said, individuals must have had continuous insurance for 18 months before choosing a new policy. He would also likely provide grants to states to insure the "high-risk" population. (Mr. Trump also wants to keep the popular provisions of Obamacare, namely allowing 26-year-olds to remain on their parents' plan and barring restrictions based on pre-existing conditions.)
Mr. Trump also chose healthcare consultant Seema Verma, MPH to run the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). "Together, Chairman Price and Seema Verma are the dream team that will transform our healthcare system for the benefit of all Americans," Mr. Trump said in a statement.
What's at Stake?
Front and center in some doctors' minds is likely the status of MACRA under TrumpCare. In April 2015, Congress repealed the Sustainable Growth Rate formula by passing MACRA. In essence, MACRA aims to shift physician payment so that it rewards value and quality over volume via the creation of the Quality Payment Program (QPP). The QPP offers two pathways for reimbursement: The Merit-based Incentive System (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APM). (MIPS comprise the Physician-Value Based Payment Modifier, Physician Quality Reporting System and the Medicare EHR Incentive Program).
Some of MACRA is tied up in the ACA, but it is likely safe, experts tell Modern Aesthetics. A repeal or delay of MACRA is unlikely given the overwhelming bipartisan support. As opposed to the ACA, MACRA passed the house 392-37 and the Senate by 92-8. "I'm not sure there will be much appetite to change anything with that kind of bipartisan support...but some people feel that with this election result, all bets are off," says Mark D. Kaufmann, MD, an associate Clinical Professor of dermatology in the department of Dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.
"We're hopeful that when Secretary of Health and Human Services Dr. Tom Price is confirmed, he'll approach the regulatory process from a physician's perspective and how MACRA impacts patient care and managing a practice," adds Dr. Johnson. "There's a disconnect between the overall vision for a federal reimbursement system that rewards high-quality, high-value care and the reality of the tools in place to implement that system. Because MACRA is budget-neutral, there will be winners and losers, even if every physician is providing quality care, so the system remains unfair."
There are other issues that are important to doctors and may or may not be on the chopping block in the Trump administration.
For example, "dermatologic surgeons favor repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB)," says Thomas E. Rohrer, MD, of Skin Care Physicians of Chestnut Hill and the President of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery Association. Created by ACA, the IPAB is a government board that is charged with cutting Medicare spending once it reaches an arbitrary level. "Such significant health care decisions should not be made by Presidential appointees who have little to no clinical experience and who are not subject to administrative or judicial restraint," he says. "It is predicted that the IPAB will go into effect in 2017, decreasing provider reimbursement without appropriate oversight, stakeholder input or transparency."
He adds that if the IPAB fails to report recommendations, this responsibility will rest in the hands of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. "It should be the responsibility of the Congress to create policies that meet the needs of their constituents and design a health care system that can respond to their diverse communities."
Dr. Johnson is on board with repealing IPAB. "We will continue to lobby for the repeal of IPAB, which is unfair to physicians and removes some important budgetary control from Congress," she says.
In addition, "we feel medical liability needs to be reformed. The administrative and regulatory burden doctors face is a huge impediment to running a practice and needs to be streamlined," she says. "We believe Medicare beneficiaries should be able to contract for services from any doctor they choose, even a doctor out-of-plan, and they should receive the allowed Medicare reimbursement for that service, just like many other health plans."
ASDSA members are also concerned about the way the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has handled the coding for physician payment, particularly related to the global surgery codes and requirements as set forth in the 2017 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule, Rohrer says. "The ASDSA will continue to work for a fair global surgical package and we hope to work with the incoming Administration to help physicians spend more time with patients and less time on administrative work."
Another sticking point for ASDSA members is the FDA's interpretation of the Drug Quality and Security Act ("DQSA", P.L. 113-54). "This has been interpreted narrowly by the FDA, and therefore limits our physicians in providing timely care to their patients," he says. "ASDSA, along with other medical and pharmaceutical societies, have worked together to make drug compounding a safe in-office practice while ensuring patients have access to these medications without being hindered by government rules."
There's a lot at stake, he says. "Dermatologic surgeons need to stay active politically, donate to worthy candidates and make themselves available to advocate for their patients whether it be legislative, regulatory or other quasi-governmental bodies who seek to influence healthcare."
Plastic surgeons also need to step up their advocacy efforts, Dr. Johnson adds. "Via plasticsurgery.org, members can read about current legislative issues and access a link to contact their legislators," she says. "We have a weekly e-blast 'Advocacy Matters' to keep members informed [and] we host Legislative Fly-Ins where members descend on Washington to discuss issues with their representatives."
In June 2017, ASPS will host an advocacy summit that will bring about 100 plastic surgery advocates to the capital. "Our political action committee—PlastyPAC—is funded by member donations and uses the funds to contribute to congressional candidates friendly to our issues," she says. "The ASPS Legislative Advocacy Committee is one of our most important as its members evaluate key issues and determine our Advocacy approach."

Twist And Tumble: All Of Our Friends Are Dead
There's something great fun about enjoying something without having the faintest idea what it's about, or quite why you're enjoying it. All Of Our Friends Are Dead offers this experience. It's a side-scrolling platformer, movement with WASD and aiming your cursor with the mouse. And it's strange.
Think Abuse from a far more wrong dimension. Using a fantastic mix of scratchy pixel art and twisted ambient gloom, what is essentially a simple platform game becomes something of a headfuck. I haven't been able to make sense of the confusion of words written on the backgrounds, nor the freakish flashes that occur in the middle of levels. And I like it that way. It's also got one of the most satisfying guns in forever. I would have liked the jumping to feel a little more solid, but rather than repeat levels after failing to clear awkward gaps, you can save and load with F5 and F6. It's the work of Amon26, posting on the TIG Forums. You can get it here and here. Thanks to TIG Source for the spot.

Recently, I embarked on an intriguing social experiment. If you are anything like me (wait, why would I imagine most of you are like me, that would make things really weird – for you!) you tend to see sales and that little spot in the back of your brain that struggles with impulse control starts flashing red and you immediately want it.
In my excitement, I immediately posted my new desired "baby" to Facebook, but I did it a little differently. See while my impulse control is sometimes out of whack, my "your spouse is gonna kill you if you try and purchase this" mechanism went straight to work. So being the innovative guy that I am – I asked all of my friends to help me fund this baby!
Yep. Could I engage 1500+ contacts (Facebook friends and Twitter followers) to participate in a low buy-in ($0.59 asked) process to fund a new computer? Could I motivate a large mass of people to be engaged and step out and do something? Now, for transparency sake, this entire process started more from a joke earlier that day. A colleague of mine pressed the right button by basically telling me to man-up and so the posts began.
There was a great flurry of interest to start. At least three people besides me posted in the first 15 minutes (ok so maybe flurry is a slight exaggeration). Things moved quickly and by the end of the first day I had raised about $11. Sadly, by the end of the third day I was only up to $18. And now, about three weeks later, my grand vision for getting other people to pay for a new laptop had fizzled out at a grand total of $25.46 (give or take a few pennies).
Tomorrow, the rest of the story.

Names of schools
This is a snip "from the archives" printed in the latest edition of The Bulletin in which the former dean of my school explains that the school had changed name from Library Science to Library and Information Science "to reflect the importance of computers in the field". That was 25 years ago. Today we argue that our focus is on information practices that takes place beyond technology; and that the a better name for the field is, simply, information. And a better name for this sort of school is "Information School". I don't think that information is a particular good, smart, or descriptive word (or concept for that matter), but at least it doesn't have the science (or worse, studies) word attached... or depend on technology or particular institutions in its conceptualization. I believe we are on the way to establish schools that are large enough to focus on the breadth of the field, from various perspectives -- and focus on what is important to know and understand to function successfully in the information field.

A social catalog?
Katherine Gould has an excellent post in which she discusses the shortcoming of traditional library catalogs, "A fundamental shortcoming of the library catalog is that it doesn't (and as currently designed can't) know the why for any given search." -- we can only search for what people ask for, independently of why they need the particular information; the purpose of the reference interview is to get to people's real information needs... this reminds me of the distinction between exploitative and descriptive power which Patrick Wilson makes in Two Kinds of Power -- either we give access based on neutral, objective representations of the artiofacts (not possible) or we give access based on an in-depth understanding and appreciate for people's information problems (not possible).
I am not sure if there is why to get around Wilson's analysis, if we still aim at providing one system for access to library material -- it seems to a path bound for failure...

Web 2.0, CVs, and language
Peter Morville has posted an interview in which he discusses what Web 2.0 means -- I usually enjoy Peter's blogs and books; and this is no exception, I find his observation that Web 2.0 is "as much about attitude as technology" right on; and his comment that this change in attitude is about "relaxing control over the data, the interface, and the experience. It's about taking risks, admitting mistakes, and continuously improving with the help of your users", should have serious consequence for KO research and practice, especially if one, as Peter, is "painfully aware of the challenges of language and representation. Our best attempts to structure knowledge and manage meaning through the creation of controlled vocabularies and thesauri have fallen far short of the ideal". As I have argued a few times, for instance at the NASKO 2007 conference, we have to realize that there is no one system, no one way to organize information (and stuff), no one way that is better or more correct than other ways... (although there are, of course, obviously wrong ways...), which in turns means that we have rethink the purpose of KO systems and our approach to thinking and talking about them. The challenge is: how do we expand the tradition of KO to include the attitude of Web 2.0?
Cool KO stuff
I just watched Michael Wesch's film again... it is great; I love it. It think it precisely captures the core issues that KO research and practice faces today -- in terms of which questions we ask, what we teach in KO classes, and how we practice KO... I am quite optimistic about the future of KO, if we manage to incorporate this sort of stuff.

What is Sharad Poonam?
His Divine Holiness Acharya Swamishree presided upon the Sharad Poonam festival celebrations in Madhapur, on 16th October 2005.
The festival was held in the vast grounds of the village high school, where a magnificent throne had been situated for the Lord, at the pinnacle of a display of steel utensils. The significance of the steel is that it reflects the cool, soothing light of the moon onto all the devotees on this day, when the moon is said to shine at its brightest.
The sants and devotees of Kutch danced to the accompaniment of live devotional music, performed by Swamibapa's highly talented Sants.
At the end of the festival, the traditional prasad of 'doodh pova' and 'gota', was distributed to all.
Celebrations were also observed at all Shree Swaminarayan Gadi Sansthan Temples around the world including in Maninagar.

The ABCs of Wine.
The following was my first article posted in 2010. Originally it was emailed to and read only by a few friends, but after a few Internet surfers took a peek at it, the post seemed get some legs and began to be passed around. It has been slightly updated, but please enjoy:
The first piece of advice I received when I decided to explore the mysteries of Bacchus' blessing came from a friend that I thought knew something about wine. I asked for his counsel on how to proceed into that somewhat intimidating world of swirl, sniff, and sip. He caught my ear with the following seduction: "Tom, it's as simple as ABC."
Wow, I could hardly wait for the details! I was salivating at the simplicity of it all. I would be an overnight wine guy. The ladies would adore me, my friends would be envious, and wine stewards and retail wine clerks would respect me. This was great stuff!
He leaned forward, looked around to see if anyone else was listening, and whispered into my ear in a hushed, almost religious tone, "Always buy Cabernet. Always buy Chardonnay."
"Yes, yes," I said, anxiously waiting for further formulaic insight that would deliver me from doubt and indecision, "What's the rest of it?"
"That's it," he said, somewhat irked at my insinuation. "That's the ABC's of Wine. You don't have to know anything else. One's red and one's white. One goes with meat, the other goes with fish. They're the most popular. Everyone sells Cabernet, and Chardonnay, and everyone who's with it buys Cabernet and Chardonnay."
To a large extent my friend was correct. Just walk into any retail liquor/wine store and examine the shelf space occupied by those two wines—they dominate. And the next time you order wine in a restaurant, just take note of the number of Cabernets and Chardonnays on the wine list—they prevail. One goes with meat (but not all meat dishes), and one goes with fish (but not all fish dishes). Without a doubt, those two wines are the most popular ones for most wine drinkers.
Of course, I really wanted to be with it, so I tried his approach for a while. I became somewhat confident at ordering, and I even became knowledgeable about the characteristics of the two old reliables. But popularity and simplicity did not do it for me. I was not satisfied with the narrowness of my friend's recommendation. There had to be an additional perspective out there. So I approached another friend and solicited his advice. I told him I wanted to enter the kingdom of cork dorks and serious wine geeks.
He leaned forward and solemnly uttered the following: "It's as simple as ABC, Tom."
"No way, no thanks," I said, "I've already been down that narrow wine road. There's got to be more to wine appreciation than just Cabernet and Chardonnay."
"Precisely, my little cork puller, the real "ABC's of Wine" are as follows: Avoid buying Chardonnay and Avoid buying Cabernet. Not forever, don't just buy those two wines all the time. There's a wide world of wine pleasure out there, and you owe it to yourself to experience it."
Ever since that exchange, I did in fact enlarge the scope of my "pursuit," as one good friend calls it. My scope was to go beyond grape varietals and appellations, at least in the beginning. I wanted to know it all. Where wine was first "discovered" and by whom? Which countries were the first major producers and why? Who first democratized wine? Who were the best producers in Europe and elsewhere? Why do some countries produce better wines than others? Why are appellations an importance concept? What distinguishes a good wine from a great wine?
Those questions created new ones for me, and my quest seemed, and is, never ending. As one topic led me to another, it brought forth an entirely new appreciation of wine. No longer the very simple "ABCs of Wine," it now became "The A Through Z of Wine." I became a confirmed Wine Lover, an Oenophile. The search goes on . . . .

A man renovating his home in Surrey has spoken about finding the remains of a World War Two carrier pigeon.
David Martin opened a disused fireplace in his home and found the skeleton of a bird with a large barrel still attached to the leg. Inside the barrel was a small slip of paper containing a coded message.
"I said 'I wonder if it's a a secret message' and it was. After we took the spool off there was a cigarette paper with coded writing on it," Mr Martin said.
His home in the county of Surrey is close to the hotel in Reigate where Britain's General Montgomery planned the D-Day invasion of France in secret. 'Monty' kept military pigeon lofts at the hotel.
A 'Pigeons at War' exhibition at Bletchley Park, the centre for the Allied forced code breakers, has many messages carried by pigeons during World War II, but this message is the first to be written in code.
Experts are now trying to decipher the message, which never reached its intended recipient, to gain an unique insight into the war.
Sent by a Sergeant W. Stott, the message was meant to reach the mysterious 'X02' a possible code name for Bomber Command.
Homing pigeons were one of many animals used by Allied forces during World War Two. They were used during the D-Day landings to relay messages back to the UK that operations were going to plan.

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said Saturday that rival Marco Rubio should drop out of the race.
"I think it's time for Marco to clean the deck. I really do. And I say that respectfully," Trump said at a press conference in Florida.
Trump held the press conference after four states held primaries or caucuses earlier in the day. Trump was projected to win Kentucky and Louisiana, while Cruz won Kansas and Maine.
"I think Marco Rubio had a very, very bad night," Trump said. "And personally I'd call on him to drop out of the race. I think it's time now that he drop out of the race. I really think so. I think it's probably time."

- TBE is one of the very common electrophoresis buffers, used for agarose gel analysis of DNA.
- It contains Tris, Boric acid and EDTA.
- Tris-borate provides electrical conductivity as well as maintains the pH.
- EDTA inhibits metal dependent nucleases by chelating the divalent cations (Ca2+, Mg2+), thus protecting the DNA from nucleases during the run.
- TBE buffer has better buffering capacity then TAE, therefore it can be used for extended and repeated electrophoresis.
- Borate from TBE buffer is reported to interact with DNA, which may cause problem in subsequent enzymatic modification of DNA fragment eluted from gel. In such cases, use of TBE buffer should be avoided. TAE is suitable buffer for this purposes.
- Reagents
- Tris base (C4H11NO3, Molecular Weight: 121.14)
- Boric acid (H3BO3, Molecular Weight: 61.83)
- 0.5 M EDTA stock solution (pH 8.0)
- Deionized / Milli-Q water
- Equipment and disposable
- Measuring cylinder
- Conical flask / Beaker
- Magnetic stirrer
Composition of 5X TBE electrophoresis buffer
- 0.445 M Tris borate
- pH 8.2 – 8.4 (at 25°C)
Composition of 1X TBE electrophoresis buffer
- 89 mM Tris borate
- 2 mM EDTA
- pH 8.2 – 8.4 (at 25°C)
Preparation of 1000 ml of 5X TBE electrophoresis buffer, pH 8.3.
Step 1: To prepare 1000 ml of 5X TBE buffer, weigh out 54 gram Tris base and 27.5 gram boric acid. Transfer them to 2 L beaker / conical flask. Add 800 ml deionized / Milli-Q water. Mix until all the ingredients dissolve completely.
- One can use manual shaking using a glass pipette to mix the ingredients. Magnetic stirrer makes the dissolving process automated and convenient.
Step 2: Add 20 ml of 0.5 M EDTA solution. Mix the solution again. Adjust the pH 8.3 if required.
- Since pH is dependent on temperature, we recommend to adjust the solution pH at room temperature (25°C).
Step 3: Adjust the solution volume to 1000 ml with deionized / Milli-Q water. Mix the solution again.
Optional : One can filter the solution to remove any undissolved materials.
Step 4: Sterilize the solution by autoclaving (20 minutes at 15 lb/sq.in. (psi) from 121-124°C on liquid cycle).
- One can sterilize the solution by passing through 0.22 μ filter unit. Filter sterilization removes all suspended particles with size more than 0.22 μ which includes most bacteria their spores but not mycoplasma. Moreover, it does not inactivate enzyme activities (e.g., DNases). Autoclaving inactivates most enzymes except some (e.g., RNases) and kills most microorganisms including mycoplasma.
- Transfer the solution to autoclavable bottle.
- Depending on the consumption, one can make small aliquots of solution.
- Solution can be stored at 15 – 25 °C (room temperature) for several months.
- Discard solution if there is a considerable amount of precipitates.
- Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA
- Non-denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis of RNA (MOPS buffer is used for denaturing gels)
- Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of nucleic acid (both non-denaturing or denaturing)
- DNA automated sequencing gel
- Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA)

I have come rather late to writing recipe books, having spent the greater part of my professional life in the classical music industry, working for a large recording company, a well-known music publisher, and as a violinist and violin teacher. However, as an avid and enthusiastic cook, I have always given cooking and entertaining a high priority, spending hour upon hour in the kitchen, trying out new ideas, flavours, and experimenting with recipes.
My work as a musician, together with my passion for travelling, led me to visit many different parts of the world. I believe that in order to really enjoy the culture of any country you have to eat the local food. Fortunately in London, where I spent most of my adult life, the multi-cultural atmosphere has led to a myriad of international restaurants.

Project Description
Client: Scunthorpe Steeltown Team
The Scunthorpe Steeltown Team campaign was founded by Chairman and former Scunthorpe Mayor Jim Pearson. Their objectives are as follows:
"To promote, commemorate and celebrate through visual and performing arts: the culture and heritage of the workers and families, past and present, connected with the Scunthorpe Steelwork Industry."
"To honour the importance of the steel industry to the Scunthorpe area's growth and development, through artistic expression such as: Sculptures, Street Art, Performing Arts and any other art forms which will enhance and positively develop the Scunthorpe area, and its people".
We were commissioned to produce a documentary film for the Scunthorpe Steeltown Team to tell the story of the people behind the fantastic sculpture being placed in Scunthorpe town centre in Spring. They wanted the film to raise awareness of the sculpture and its intended purpose. We captured the stories of the individuals involved in a cinematic, documentary style with plenty of gritty textures reflecting the strong industrial heritage in Scunthorpe.
After travelling to Durham to film Ray Lonsdale in his workshop, we started filming closer to home and spoke to key members of the team who lived local to Scunthorpe. Interviews with everyone we visited naturally brought the narrative together in post-production and once completed, the film was exhibited in museums and art galleries across Lincolnshire and utilised on social media.
"Video was fantastic, really captured what we needed. The production surpassed all expectations. Over 10000 people have watched the video so far and it is currently being shown in the 2021 Visual Arts Centre. We will proudly be showing it elsewhere too. The video really captures the history of the funding of the sculpture, our aims and what the project is all about perfectly. The amount of effort Know Media have gone to in terms of arranging interviews and time spent making the recording represented great value for money and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this company to organisations wanting to reach out to the public and promote their projects" – Adrian Holmes – Project Manager

What is pre natal massage?
Pre natal massage is therapeutic bodywork used during pregnancy and labour which focuses on the special needs and problem areas of the mother-to-be as her body goes through huge changes. This is a full body massage, using a specially designed booster cushion which, by accommodating the bump, allows expectant mums to lie on their tummy. This gives an opportunity for the mother and baby to really relax and "be" together. Common pregnancy problems such as sinuitis and headache may be relieved without the use of medicine.
Who is it suitable for?
Suitable from the 13th week (for the 2nd and 3rd trimester), but contra-indicated for high risk pregnancy)
What is post natal massage?
Post-natal massage helps to relax and re balance the body after the major experience of childbirth. Again a window of relaxation for the mother, which is solely for her.
A few examples of the benefits of massage, and pregnancy massage are:
- Encourages relaxation and reduces tension and anxiety
- It helps increase circulation and mobility eg calf cramps
- Reduces swellings and eases tense muscles
- Stress relief on weight bearing joints eg ankles, pelvis
- Neck and back pain relief
- Natural relief for headache and sinus congestion
A fit Pregnancy
Staying active during pregnancy has multiple benefits but can feel daunting when your body is going under lots of changes. Pilates can be a fantastic way to exercise safely during pregnancy. The Penn clinic works closely with several local Pilates studios including The Core Pilates, in Welwyn Garden City. Please follow http://thecorepilates.co.uk/pregnancy-pilates-classes/ for more information.

Proletary (The Proletarian) was an illegal Russian Bolshevik newspaper edited by Lenin; it was published from September 3, 1906 until December 11, 1909. A total of fifty issues having appeared. Active participants in the editorial work were Mikhail Vladimirsky, V. V. Vorovsky, I. F. Dubrovinsky, Anatoly Lunacharsky. The technical side of publication was in the hands of Alexander Schlichter, E. S. Schlichter and others. The first twenty issues of the paper were edited and set up in Vyborg (matrices were sent to St. Petersburg and the paper was printed there; for purposes of concealment the newspaper was date-lined Moscow). Later, in view of growing difficulties in the way of publishing an illegal newspaper in Russia, the St. Petersburg and Moscow Committees of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party decided that publication of the newspaper should he organised abroad. Nos. 21 to 40 were published in Geneva and Nos. 41 to 50 in Paris.
Nos. 1 and 2 of Proletary appeared as the organ of the Moscow and St. Petersburg Committees of the R.S.D.L.P.; Nos. 3 and 4 as the organ of the Moscow, St. Petersburg and Moscow District Committees of the R.S.D.L.P.; Nos. 5 to 11 as the organ of the Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow District, Perm and Kursk Committees of the R.S.D.L.P.; Nos. 12 to 20 as the organ of the Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow District, Perm, Kursk and Kazan Committees of the R.S.D.L.P.; from No. 21 onwards (from the time it moved abroad) it appeared as the organ of the Moscow and St. Petersburg Committees of the R.S.D.L.P.
In practice, Proletary functioned as the central organ of the Bolsheviks. The main editorial work was done by Lenin, with most issues carrying articles by him (over a hundred in all) on questions of the revolutionary struggle of the working class. The newspaper gave prominence to questions of tactics and general politics; it published reports on the activities of the Central Committee of the R.S.D.L.P., the decisions of conferences and plenary meetings of the C.C., R.S.D.L.P., letters from the C.C. on various questions of Party work, and other documents. No. 46 published a supplement containing a notice of the extended meeting of the Editorial Board of Proletary held in Paris between June 21 and June 30, 1909, and also the resolutions of that meeting. The newspaper maintained close contact with local Party organisations.
During the years of the Stolypin reaction, the newspaper played an important part in preserving and strengthening the Bolshevik organisations, in the struggle against the liquidators, and all other opportunists. At the plenary meeting of the C.C., R.S.D.L.P. in January 1910, the Mensheviks succeeded, with the aid of the conciliators, in passing a resolution to close the newspaper Proletary under the pretence of fighting factionalism.

From historic monuments to ultra-modern malls, ancient art to cutting-edge culture, Melbourne effortlessly blends past and present.
The capital of the state of Victoria is one of Australia's most stylish and sophisticated cities, combining old-world colonial charm with modern-day convenience. Visitors will be quickly seduced by its food and its fashions, its art and its architecture, its culture and its coffee.
The city centre is packed with heritage-listed buildings, many of them dating back to Victorian times. The historic churches and sumptuous art deco hotels, the elegant arcades of Bourke Street Mall and Flinders Street Station, the oldest train station in Australia, sit comfortably alongside the futuristic glass-and-steel exhibition spaces around Federation Square and the iconic Eureka Tower, which offers panoramic views across the city from the observation deck on the 88th floor.
There's no shortage of cultural contrasts either, from state-of-the-art digital technology at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image and contemporary painting at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, to international and indigenous masterpieces at the National Gallery of Victoria and local treasures at the Melbourne Museum. The latter is even home to one of Australia's great sporting icons, the legendary racehorse Phar Lap.

4th of July is right around the corner and it's time to get those party dresses ready!! I have found the two perfect little summer looks for the holiday!! If you're heading to the pool, beach, or lake for the 4th I also have a blog post with tons of swimwear and accessories here🙂
Blue and White Romper
This super casual romper is SO soft and comfortable!! It could definitely be used as a swim cover up or just warn to a casual outdoor party!! Throw on some red, like bold earrings, a necklace, or headband and you'll be so festive!! The best part is you'll get tons of use out of it even after the 4th!!
Runs true to size and the straps are adjustable!!
Romper // Earrings // Purse // Shoes // Lipstick (color Garden Party)
P.S. I also LOVE this crossbody bag. I wear it everywhere in the summer and while traveling!!! It has my monogram on it in gold. It's honestly a great gift for someone special or a bride to be!! I wore it everyday on our honeymoon.
Embroidered White Dress
This dress is SOOO cute!!! All the little details are just stunning and I love the design. The top wraps around your bust and ties in the back. I do not have a bra on with it, I just tied it tight enough to support my bust. If you are larger up top then consider a bralette or stickyboobs!! The material is soft, but holds its shape which I love!!!
Overall, this is a really great dress for the price. Runs true to size.
Dress // Sunnies // Earrings // Bag // Shoes // Lipstick (color Rose)
If you don't love these two options, don't worry... I've found some other SUPER cute dresses here!!!
Hope you enjoy your 4th of July Holiday!!! We are heading to the lake, so you'll see tons of pictures:)
Stay lovely, dolls

A Progrowth Agenda for Congress
Publication Date: November 2010
Publisher(s): National Center for Policy Analysis (U.S.)
Author(s): Stephen Entin; John Goodman
Topic: Government (Public finance)
Keywords: Bush Tax Cuts; Capital Gains; Tax; Corporate Tax
Coverage: United States
Uncertainty about future public policies coming out of Washington, D.C., and the prospect of huge tax increases is stifling potential recovery and job creation. Business owners do not know what capital, labor or facilities will cost if they expand — or what their personal tax rates will be. The most important step Washington can take to spur recovery is to immediately and permanently reduce taxes on capital and labor.

Make You Feel My Love is a Bob song for people who don't like Bob. The lyrics are glib; the melody is schmaltzy; and the whole is even less than the sum of its parts.
I hate it.
But then I was sent this YouTube link. Rebecca Ferguson performs it superbly. She makes it a better song than it really is. She sings it better than Adele. And yeh, better than Bob.
Last time I said that, Jimi had just released All Along the Watchtower.

Category: Isaiah
This lively Advent hymn calls on disciples to recognize the profound changes that Jesus' birth will bring through unexpected persons.
This children's hymn focuses on the Star of Bethlehem, wondering what kind of special person the baby will be. It underscores children's well-being.
A song for children that describes how Jesus would be a gift to the world in many ways.
Isaiah is a young prophet who in his long career offers God's salvation to his nation. One in a series.
The text of this hymn, in minor and major keys, laments mass killings "once again" and calls for meaningful legislation.
This hymn marvels at the variety and beauty of biblical literature, recounting stories of water, land, and fire.
The hymn, with refrains, asks if we, like the prophet Isaiah, will respond to God's call to be disciples. Appropriate for ordination, commissioning services.

Need Emergency Edmonton Plumber - 587 410 4277
Fix a Leaky Outdoor Faucet
Ignoring a slow dripping leaking outdoor faucet can lead to huge amounts of water wastage. This wasted water will accumulate in your yard and stay there till you don't clean it. A large number of insects and bacteria look out for stagnant water for their survival. These insects will then make an unhealthy environment in your yard and spread several ailments. You may have to encounter dangerous consequences just because you ignored that simple leakage.
Even if you clean your property regularly and don't let that water accumulate most of the time, issues will remain. The floor can get slippery and cause slips for not only children, but also elderly people in your family. Here is how you can deal with this outdoor plumbing problem to save time and money.
Outdoor faucet may leak because of incorrect positioning or damaged washer inside either the spigot or valve stem. To fix this on your own you will need screwdrivers, crescent wrench, washers and lubrication (optional). Follow these steps once you have all the objects.
This is how you can easily treat the leaking outdoor faucet. If the leakage is too severe and you think you cannot deal with it, contact professional plumbers in Edmonton. They are experts in all kinds of plumbing services and use latest tactics, tools, and equipment to give you the best solution.
