Thank you friend!
Nice, clean face. Thanks.
Very nice. I like the R. Thanks!
Nice typeface. Tip: space the typeface well before kerning. The spacing is very, very bad.
What a lovely family! Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for the free font.
Do you plan to add support for Cyrillic ?
Very nice. Thanks!
Thank you for that, nice font but there's nothing new in it, the design is very close to many other existing fonts :/
Very nice design for you first typeface!
Only, as Pieter said, the spacing is bad.
Keep up the good work! :)
Kind regards,
Martijn van Berkel
"the design is very close to many other existing fonts :/"
"The spacing is very, very bad."
You obviously made a mistake - you should be selling the font, not giving it away ;-)
Looks like an elegant face. Just a heads up that your site is currently down. I look forward to trying it out, though.
Thanks for the font!
I like the wider spacing.
Thanks again..
very bad,
why not do you tell everybody to know what's font you'v modified from.
i think is better than do like this.

If you know similar font, please show this font for us.
> why not do you tell everybody to know what's font you'v modified from.
Oh, that's not nice :(
Andrew, this is nicely executed. I also like the wide tracking. Thank you for sharing :)
I like it! You've done a good job!
ok, this is a first type i don't need say anymore.
and i have something to say,
"do not take any part from others font"
i wish you success.
just snatched it!
Must say, it's a lot better than many professional (expensive!) fonts.
Big thanks.
thanks for this might come in handy
nice thankssssss :D
Now there is absolutely no excuse to use Arial Rounded. Nicely done.
Thanks so much!
I love this font. Thanks.
Lovely. Nice. Clean.
Best regards.
looks like the characters consist out off single line, no contrast at all, well done!
Just become a member, many thanks for the fonts always searching for new ones

Once again thanks comrade, this is a good example
of a good free font for those who think otherwise
about free fonts.

Beautiful font. I'd like to use it for a commercial project. I tried to find its license and on FontSquirrel it says it has none. Usually the fonts there are for commercial use.
So, could I use it? If yes, thank you, if no, how/where can I buy it? :)
[spam removed by moderator]
Could you include a Euro-sign at least?
The lack of it limits the usage of the otherwise cool fonts somewhat, here in "Old Europe".
Thanks for the font! I used it for my little PDF Magazine. :D
Hi there,
Quicksand is a great font, I use it for my master thesis! But I have a question concerning the special characters. I use M$ Word 2007 and the strange thing is that the percent character won't show up in the dokument. The place where the % should be is simply blank. Has anybody got an idea why this happens? Also, if I put in the percent character Word tends to replace the font with Times New Roman, as if this specific character was missing in Quicksand. Pretty strange I'd say...Suggestions anyone? Thanks, Tom
Thank you very much for this font.
I think it's the best font ever made.
From the previous post I found it can be used in commercial projects.
I am using it In my Flash CMS as an embedded font in Droower Flash CMS and I add a comment about it http://Quicksand comment.
As I noticed that link http://www.andrewpaglinawan.com/ is broken I link resource I found it.
Moderators? That last comment smells like spam to me. (Feel free to delete this.)
I was looking for a typeface to use in a logo I'm designing and I totally forgot I installed this! It's super clean. All this talk from DekThai without any actual proof is annoying...
best regards,
eata genia me encanta, es como medio retro, súper muchas gracias y FELICIDADES por tu excelente trabajo
i'm in love with this typeface but i couldn't get the copy :(
Thanks, I like it a lot. It's what attracted me to join this site, which Im now grateful that I have. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but I live in hope.
Thank you. It´s very nice and clean :)
This is great. Thank you so much.
It's really nice, I'm just sad that the å ä ö are missing from the Dash variant.
the lower case w seems a little out of place, and the spacing needs work but otherwise a great first attempt, thanks :)

As head of one of the world's most iconic brands, Muhtar Kent has to keep a close eye on global consumer trends.
In an interview with Charlie Rose for Bloomberg Businessweek, Kent made it crystal clear how essential it is that companies look beyond the West.
When asked how important developing markets are for his company, Kent replied:
Let me just put it into perspective: 3.5 percent to 4 percent of the population of the world live in the U.S., and we're a consumer goods company. So we sell where the people are.
It's just math.
As an example, Kent described Minute Maid Pulpy, a juice launched in China that became a billion dollar brand after just 3 years, and is now sold in more than 25 countries. The strategy's been incredibly successful for Coke.
The Boston Consulting Group estimates that Chinese and Indian consumers will be a $10 trillion dollar market by 2020. They will have a middle class more than twice as large as the population of the U.S., and produce a hundred million more college graduates.
That's only two countries.
It's essential for every business, not just consumer goods companies, to work as hard as possible to get a foothold in the developing world. The numbers don't lie.

The 26"x 1.75" R-grade Tannus Solid Tyre, the most modern solid tyre in the world. Aither 1.1 R-Grade: The perfect hardness (60psi equivalent), incredible grip and extremely low rolling resistance, finally offers 1 compound for all riders.
The Nano Technology Foam "Aither" patented by Tannus is engineered to provide maximum comfort, minimum rolling resistance and extreme durability. All Tannus tyres are rigorously tested to survive at least 6000 miles, but we have seen them do much more. Once installed, the tyres do not require any attention, no pump as they never go flat, they never change pressure, and always guarantee uniform performance on all surface conditions throughout their life span. Ride Tannus Solid Tyres like you would any other tyre, wet or dry, fast or slow, on a light bike, or fully weighed down on a cycling tour, the Tannus tyres can do it all, without any bad surprises.
Unlike ANY other bicycle tyre in the world, Tannus Solid Tyres are TÜV Safety certified meaning they offer what no other tire can, 100% reliability, and Safety. The patented Locking Pin System ensures the tyre will always stay on the rim, and the nano tech Aither guarantees incredible traction and shock absorption.
The 26"x1.75" Aither 1.1 is compatible with most modern MTB and city bicycles with 26" wheels and ETRTO (inner rim width) of 17-20mm. For other rim widths please check the other tyre sizes. (Be sure to check you rim width before purchase)
The 1.75" tyre width means it will be a perfect upgrade for any modern "MTB bike", converting it into a reliable puncture friendly machine, the pump, tyre levers and spare tube you can now leave at home forever.
Each Tannus tyre comes with all necessary tools and fitting instructions for home installation, however it is recommended that it be fitted by a licensed Tannus fitting service to guarantee safety and performance (like dlb cycles at 72 York Road, Dun Laoghaire). If you do decide to fit them yourself make sure your wheel is trued, in proper working order, with all spokes properly tensioned and, if necessary repair the wheel before fitting. Make sure to follow the provided instructions very carefully.
NOTE: Price is per ONE tyre only! Add 2 to basket for full set. Thank You.

Election time is fast closing in on us.
It is time for final analysis and decisions.
Hopefully it is the conviction of most of
us here at Bethel that elections are still
important in this country, that each vote
is important, and that we are, each of
us, helping to fashion the direction ~ur
country is going to take; either by active
support or passive compliance with those
who desire to fashion it. This may seem
naive to some who fatalistically suggest
that we do not have such control. If we
don't it is our fault. If we fail to release
our Christian convictions into the political
mainstream, we are guilty of the
most disgusting negligence. We have the
opportunity, this year "more than ever,"
to determine a national direction that
most closely approximates the ideas we
It seems tragic that the American public
has allowed itself to be so courted
by the candidate makers that even the
most banal antics of technology are allowed
to perform their mechanized wonders
on believing crowds. The President's
much heralded trip to Atlanta recently
was viewed by the television public as
a touching display of community support
and loyalty. Unknown to the average
viewer were mechanized paper shredders
providing the adoring shower of the confetti.
Tactics like this may often be employed
by both parties. That, however,
only serves to increase the scope of the
tragedy of politics removed from the
real base of society: the needs and feel-two

ings of the people. Our infatuation with
"personality cult" has blurred our vision
of the issues that ultimately comprise
our national direction.
We are sick and tired of insinuations
that Senator McGovern is the only candidate
who has modified his position on
the issues. It was Nixon who said I will
"run an open administration." It was
Nixon who said that he would avoid wage
and price controls. And, it was Nixon
who said he would reduce the national
debt. What has happened? Instead of an
open administration we must tolerate secret
campaign funds. Here we ask the
Bethel community if the American government
is one which is supposed to cater
to special interests and allow those
interests to be rubber-stamped on election
day, or, is government supposed to
be an entity open to citizen participation.
Wage and price controls have worked
wonderfully on the wages part of the
plan but said plan seems to have a
more elusive grip on prices. The promise
to reduce the national debt is perhaps
the biggest joke of all. He has man
·aged to compile one of the largest deficit
spending programs in history and
has tried to convince the American public
the convenient "Democratic Congress"
is the root of all economic evil. We are
not agreeing or disagreeing with the
dynamics of Keynesian economics as
such. However, it is our contention that
the President must accept responsibility
for the things he does.
Weare sincerely thankful for the
pending peace settlements in Vietnam.

At the same time we are amazed at a
time-table for settlement so closely
geared to the election. Our amazement
is not, however, so much evoked by the
efficiency of this time-table as by its
blatant consideration of election expediencies
above human life. We ask, what
was wrong with 1970 . . . 1971 . . . or
even early 1972? What advantages has
settlement now given us to offset the
loss of life in Vietnam since Nixon's
election? Perhaps McGovern deserves a
large share of the credit for the peace
settlement. Perhaps it has been his constant
anti-war stance that has enlightened
the American public and has ultimately
forced the President's hand to
produce results.
A McGovern administration, we believe
would r everse the unmistakable
drift'in Washington away from government
of, by and for the people. We are
talking about such programs as: elimination
of unemployment through government
created jobs and allowing welfare
recipients the opportunity to earn a respectable
wage instead. We heartily approve
of tax reform and ending controls
which apply in reality only to wages.
Such proposals as: pension protection,
improved social security, and a National
Health 'Care program can really only
serve to improve the life of the people;
a basic role and purpose of government.
Elimination of military waste should be
a priority. History has taught us that
sheer numbers is not the major prerequisite
of strength. These are some 'of the
major planks that comprise McGovern's
political philosophy - a philosophy of
basic Christian humanism. It is clear
that McGovern will fight for effective
and necessary reforms in American social,
political and economic institutions.
The election is really in our hands.
We the people have a chance, this year,
to determine our national direction now
more than ever. Perhaps it is time to
act and not only ... hold our breath.

Nixon caters to the
power and wea'ith
by Wayne Pauluk
No President can please everyone in
every way. Mr. Nixon obviously has not
attempted to do so. My contention, however,
is that he has tried to please
those with enough wealth and power to
return the favor.
Mr. Nixon claims to be combating inflation.
If so, it merely shows how poor
a comhatant he is.
Mr. Nixon has vetoed ,bills which
would aid the elderly, the veteran and
the ghetto-dweller. He vetoed a bill
which would clean up the nation's water.

When the dairy industry contributed
to his campaign, Nixon raised the price
supports on milk. Of course, higher milk
prices followed, ·but that isn't inflation,
is it?
Of course the ITT scandal is history.
The suit to ·bre·ak up the telephone
monopoly was dropped by ;Nixon. If ITT
had been divided, the companieS' would
compete. Competition would lead to lower
prices. Don't lower prices fight inflation?
After four more years, if Nixon continues
as he has thus far, ' we look forward
to 8 percent unemployment and a

Thoughtfulness and Consideration
To the editor:
I must confess that I am perhaps a typical American who
often ignores what may appear to be small, insignificant laws.
If there is a little rule or law that can be broken without
any resulting penalty, I am one who would probably break
it if it would be a matter of convenience for myself; it would
only be a little rule, of course. However, I had an experience
last week which caused me to stop and think about this
tendency of mine.
I came strolling down Bethel drive one day las,t week in
my 1954 Chevy (ignoring the 20 mph speed limit because I
knew good and well that there was no place for an unmarked
car to check my speed on Bethel Drive) at about 11:30 a.m.
As usual, I was late for fourth hour, and I had a paper due
in World Politics. Since the long, treacherous walk from the
parking lot seemed inconvenient, 1 decided that the best place
for me to park was on the side of the road off of Bethel Drive
in front of building B where all of the no parking signs had
been posted. (1 also knew I was safe there because I had done
it before and my car hadn't been towed away).
On this particular day, however, 1 met an unforseen obstacle.
Dean Nettleton (what an obstacle!) met me at the
door and very politely asked me if I would m'ove my car because
cars' and trucks have a terrible time getting through
with cars lihed on either side 'of the road. After I moved my
car, we had a brief (I was late for class) chat that made me
feel very guilty. He said the administration has tried to
observe a policy of not towing away illegally parked cars but
it has not been working. He mentioned that even faculty
members have parked where the buses must turn around in
the "No Cars Please" area. I got the message squarely; I was
causing a lot of people a lot more grief than I had realized
by disregarding the "little rules" that are only made for the
good of the community.
Perhaps I am a typical American prone to cheat on the
system a little. But I am also a Christian American who
ought to be more sensitive and considerate of others who
are perhaps 'suffering because of my own thoughtlessness.
There are so many "little things" in life that each one of us
cast aside as unimportant when actually they may be very
consequential to someone ' else. As Christians, we should ,be
especially concerned about being helpful, sensitive, and actively
working at loving our neighbor as ourself.
There are many temporary inconveniences that we must
live with while our beautiful campus is yet under construction.
This article is simply a confession and a plea to cooperate and
respect the rules that have been made, keeping in mind what
has been said above. Little things' like wiping the mud off of
our feet before entering Ithe building, keeping our feet off
ta1bles, taking the time to listen to someone's problem, and
accepting common sense advice should become practices that
we all should keep. It's going to be very hard for me, but I
know that the administration has enough headaches without
having to spend time directing cars to the parking lot.

Big Dan abuses his office
To the editor:
Just who does Dan Nelson think he represents anyway?
When he writes a column in the Clarion he should stick to '
the business of the Student Senate and ' student affairs. The
Senate does not need, someone representing them to give a
personal political testimony. When he writes as Dan Nelson the
student, I don't care if he makes stupid political choices. But
when he does so under the title, "Student Assocation President,"
he offends the individuality of the Student Senators.
He can challenge our personal positions even though they are
made with the same mature thinking our parents possess. At
no time in this Presidential campaign have I, as a Senator,
used my office to further my political beliefs. I consider it
a great injustice that our Student Association President abused
the power of his office.
In shprt,' Mr. President (Dan Nelson) do not mingle politics
with your Senate position. If 1 did such a thing as Election
Chairman, think how vigorously your henchmen would de·
nounce me. 1 will be looking for your apology in next week's
Clarion. 1 hope you do reform.
To the editor:
Tim Martens, '74
What's with Gideon in '72?
The perspective David Hoehlassumes concerning the Presidential
campaign (The Bethel Bomber, October 20, 1972) is
all too indicative of the simplistic political thinking prevalent
.in the Bethel community. The statement Hoehl made, in effect,
totally disregarded the vital issues and questions of the campaign
and furthermore reduced the campaign to an over-simplified
contrast 'between Richard Nixon cast as "chosen of
God" and George McGovern implicated as "a two-faced captain
of questionable Jewish blood line". It is in simplistic appeals
such as Hoehl's that responsible investigation of the
questions concerning the true issues is abhored. ,
I would hope that Bethel students in preparing themselves
to vote in next week's election, assume the responsibility
to personally examine what each candidate proposes
and represents and not rely on such simplistic statements misconstruing
the Scriptures in poor taste. Somehow, I fail to see
the vital role Gideon plays in Tuesday's election.

- a bill now before Student Senate
Because of the lack of interaction this year on the Old
Campus I feel the administration must act accordingly and
try to change the situation. Although t"hey may not be able
to make the social life perfect, I feel they could take some
certain steps which seem both practical and easy and would
provide more opportunities for students to interact. My concerns
at this point are the Old Campus' library, the College
or Administration Building and the old Seminary Building.
One of the ideas I would like to submit is to change the
upstairs of the library ("Student Center") into an area of recreational
activities. This would include ping pong tables, pool
tables, and a couple of shuffle board set-ups. Box hockey and
other games could be made available. The "study hall" that is
now located in the upstairs of the Student Center could be
moved to room 106 in the College building. Then I would
suggest moving the third floor offices in the Student Center
over to the vacant Seminary Building along with the study
room area. Since the Sem. Building has many empty
rooms, such as S-3 and the chapel, I feel it is much more
ideal for the purpose of quiet study and meditation than the
place now provided for those studying. After moving the upstairs
offices, I would suggest making one room a "stereo
room" similar to the one that has existed in the past years.
Speakers could be put in the new recreation room below
therefore making it possible for students' music to be played.
Christian records and other student preferences of music
could be made available. The room could be locked to help
in the prevention of theft when not in use.
You might also consider an extension of the coffeeshop
in the old library building. This temporary shop would help
to alleviate the problem of non-interaction and would enable
students to make more use of their food cOJ.!]>ons.
The cost of this small project is minimal and can only
be weighed against the value ' the school places on student
interaction 'and the students' social life. However, if necessary
a special drive or fund project could be set up by those
interested to help finance this project.
Before you shoot this project down, think of our old
coffeeshop and the contributions it made. Now look around;
ask some freshmen how they like watching the electric machines
make the action in our "social lounges."
Submitted Respectfully,
David "Feather" Foy
Class of '74
Special Note: Campus Coordinators lDave Horn and Laura
Johnson have informed us that very soon they will begin operating
a temporary coffeeshop service in the bottom level of
the "Student Center." They will use their own funds (about
$80) for this operation lasting about three weeks - hopefully,
by then, the coffeeshop service on the New Campus will take
over the temporary one on the Old Campus.

up to its ability. Gustavus has a powerful
offense and that is why they've won

In the second half, the Gusties went
ahead once again on a penalty shot to
make the score 2-1. But Bethel, still
putting pressure on the Gustavus defense,
also got a penalty shot and tied
the game 2-2. After that, Bethel really
exhibited some good soccer and scored
more goals while shutting out the .Gusties.
The scorer of the . night was Steve
Jergenson with four goals. Steve Voth
had three assists ·and one goal. The
entire team played very well under

He said that?
And he who does not pray at all?
Yes he did
He who does not pray to the Lord prays to the devil. When we don't proclaim Jesus Christ, we proclaim the worldliness of the devil, the worldliness of the demon."
The guy must be another nut job
Well you don't pray to the lord. Therefore, whether you know it or not, you are serving the devil.
I've heard that line before from very fundamentalist evangelicals, too.
I heard a good one> My mother was explaining to an 11 year old who goes to hell. her explanation was. If you knew god and turned your back on him you will go to hell. If you never knew god he will have mercy on you and you will go to heaven. If you know god and don't live by his teachings you will go to hell. And then explained that an Atheist "like me" will go to heaven because I never blieved in god. I think she confused herself.
All these men just suffer from subliminal cravings of a master-slave relationship. He needs a husband with a whip, that'll calm his nerves.
It all boils down to what people will think of you after you're dead and, by then, it really doesn't matter.
If yer not fer us, yer again' us!
Isn't the phrase "only a sith deals in absolutes" an absolute? I mean isn't it kind of a self defeating claim? Unless of course the one making the statement is a sith...
Also, the phrase : "He who does not pray to the Lord, prays to the devil." is a classical bifurcation fallacy, and that is why its so stupid to say; regardless of any sort of underlining absolutes implied.

This is an open letter to the friends, fans, families and even foes of the South Walton High School Football program, 2013.
We were privileged this season to watch a young team mature, a coaching staff refine and a fan base rapidly expand. It wasn't magic or miraculous, but instead a product of hard work, determination and above all faith. Phil Tisa took the reigns of a beleaguered program, halfway through the summer of 2012 and was abandoned by a few parents, not fully respected by a few others and questioned by a few more.
His mantra was simple, team.
He knew these young men, and they knew him. If they stuck by each other, trusted each other and worked, sweat, and even bled for each other they could achieve great things. That first year they endured 9 losses in a row and were finally victorious in the last game of the season. That took courage to fight to the bitter end.
Strength is not just in muscle, but also in their character to keep getting up, keep making plays and keep encouraging these young men to fight on, despite the score.
This season was no fluke, and this team played and beat some quality teams. There was never a waiver from the coaching staff from the youngest to the oldest, and they do span several generations, with nearly a century of experience.
We want to send a heartfelt thank you to Phil Tisa and his entire coaching staff. They are truly in it for the best interest of these young men. That is a rare quality among coaches these days and a cherished commodity to us parents and boosters alike. Their leadership has done great things for these players and built a strong foundation for the future of our Seahawk Nation!

The History of the Peloponnesian War
Publisher's Summary
Thucydides actually participated in this conflict, a war that he realized would have a greater influence on the history of Greece than any other. The History of the Peloponnesian War is true to its title; it is a story of battles and sieges, of alliances hastily made and soon broken, and, most importantly, of the behavior of people as the war dragged on and on - of the inevitable "corrosion of the human spirit".
Thucydides, whose passionate desire to record the truth is clearly apparent, vividly narrates exciting episodes and carefully describes tactical aspects of the war. He also provides illuminating character profiles. Few will argue that Thucydides was not the greatest and most exciting historian of antiquity.

Amazing, Beautiful and Important Piece of History
If you are going to read/listen to Thucydides, might I suggest listening to this wonderful audiobook while reading the Landmark version. There are so many places, people and changing loyalties that it really helped having the notes, maps, etc. I love the classical beauty of the Crawley translation and Bottino does a stellar job at narrating this amazing work. While I'm not one to demean anyone, I would simply suggest that the difficulties in narrating Thucydides is ORDERS of MAGNITUDE beyond most contemporary fiction or history. Narrating this book must have been a beast, and Bottino is my hero for doing such an impressive job.
For me, there is not much better than Thucydides' speeches. "The Funeral Oration of Pericles", "Diodotus to the Athenian Ecclesia", "Demosthenes to his troops at Pylos" & "Nicias before the last sea fight" are all some of the most interesting, moving and inspiring speeches and harangues ever written.
This book is a must for students of the classics, politics, history and war. Hell, even if you are just interested in a good story, Thucydides tells a mighty good one. This is an amazing, beautiful and important piece of history.

The beginning of modern history
Many of the names of people and places mean nothing, and some of the accounts of the military actions are dry, but the fascinating part about this book is its modernity. It is not just an account, it is a critical analysis of the wars.
There is no glorification of particular heroes and no divine explanations of events. Thucydides was detailed in his accounts of all sides in these wars and in his analyses of their actions. He pointed out strengths and weaknesses in politicians and soldiers on both sides. He used multiple sources, as well as his own experiences. He analyzed quite critically the reasons for the wars and various actors' deeds, dismissing, with explanation, those rationales he found unsupported. Although an Athenian, he leveled his insight equally on both the Athenians and the Spartans.
His critical approach and cogent analysis bring the ancient atmosphere to life and make the ancient Greeks seem real.
Thucydides richly earned the title of the first modern historian.

Got Me Past the Greek Names
I tried to read this years ago and got bogged down in the Greek names. Somehow, it is easier to "hear" than to "see" them, and this long but informative narration made it so much simpler to understand for me. Carefully attend to the politicians' speeches. They are frighteningly modern in their rhetoric, so human nature has not changed much in a couple of millennia. I think everyone involved in war, public policy or history should read this.

Health care conundrum
June 08, 2014
Insurance rate hikes proposed by Vermont's two principal health insurers have raised new questions about whether the state will be able to afford the plan by Gov. Peter Shumlin to move to a single-payer health care system in 2017.
Supporters of a single-payer system say the state can't afford not to move to single-payer. But the Shumlin administration has yet to unveil a financing plan for its single-payer proposal, leaving many Vermonters wondering about what is ahead.
The two health insurers are Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont and MVP, and their requested rate hikes are the first to occur since the creation of Vermont Health Connect, the state's online health care site. Blue Cross requested an increase of 9.8 percent; MVP requested an increase of 15 percent.
That is the sort of unsustainable rate hike that has propelled the movement toward health care reform, and it is disconcerting that rates would jump so quickly after the establishment of Vermont Health Connect, under the auspices of the federal Affordable Care Act.
It so happens that much of the price hike is linked to provisions of the federal law and is not a consequence of pressures within the health care system in Vermont. Robin Lunge, director of health care reform for the state, said that federal money had been used to ensure that insurance companies had sufficient reinsurance capacity — essentially, insurance on insurance — to protect them through the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act. Thus, insurance rates have been artificially low. The federal government is no longer supplying the money to bolster reinsurance, so the rates are going up.
Also, some federal fees are going up. The federal government levies an excise tax on all insurance and self-insured employers to cover the costs of the Affordable Care Act, such as subsidies helping people pay for premiums. Those taxes are slated to go up in increments through 2018. The rate increases requested by the Vermont insurers reflect those higher taxes.
Vermont's insurance rate increases are in line with increases requested in other states, Lunge said. But those higher rates raise the question of whether the state and nation are making progress in containing the rising costs of health care.
Al Gobeille, chairman of the Green Mountain Care Board, stressed the importance of cost containment during an interview Friday on Vermont Public Radio. He was asked if he thought the state would be ready to put a single-payer system into operation by the target date of 2017. He said health care reform would not be dictated by the calendar and before a financing plan for a single-payer system could be determined the state needed to show results in cost containment.
Much progress is being made in the effort to shift the state away from the traditional fee-for-service model toward other methods. At present, health care providers are paid for every service rendered, creating an incentive to provide ever more services, driving up costs. Providers who are paid a fixed fee for caring for an individual have an incentive for keeping the person healthy, which restrains costs.
Instituting reforms to reward preventive care and encourage health is a complicated job. For example, it is in the interest of patients, as well as the fiscal health of the state, for physicians to provide regular care and oversight of patients with heart disease to prevent heart attacks. Regular preventive care is far cheaper than acute care, and people are better off, too.
Gobeille said Vermont faces some special circumstances that drive up its health care costs. The state has the second-oldest population, and older people tend to require more care. Also the insurance options provided by the state are richer than in other states. These are among the reasons why insurance premiums here are the fifth highest in the nation.
Gobeille's demurral on the question of whether 2017 was a realistic date for the launch of single-payer suggests that policymakers at the highest levels are looking seriously at the question of whether the state will be able to afford single-payer when 2017 arrives. Gobeille is saying that work remains to be done on cost containment. It is good that state officials are focused on those reforms, and no one wants to rush into a system that is not affordable. Then again, the single-payer system itself is seen by its supporters as the most powerful weapon in the campaign for cost containment.
It is a conundrum that will not be resolved easily. Next year, when Shumlin is expected to unveil his financing plan, we will learn more.

In 1807, the UK became one of the first nations to end its own participation in the slave trade, and went on to lead an international campaign to put a final end to the transatlantic trade, and ultimately slavery itself. Following the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, it was the only nation with the political will, the economic strength, and a Navy strong enough to attempt it.
The Royal Navy has a proud history associated with the abolition of the slave trade and the pursuance of humanitarian rights, playing a significant role in the years following the 1807 Act to abolish the Slave Trade, through active policing and enforcement. This campaign which began in West Africa, lasted well into the 20th century and, by then was worldwide. Between 1807 and 1866, the Royal Navy captured well over 500 slave ships and prevented many more from loading their slave cargo.
The abolition was also very demanding for the sailors enforcing the act; the Royal Navy committed up to 13% of its total manpower to its West Africa squadron, which in one year lost 25% of those serving on the station, mainly to disease. Overall, the nineteenth-century costs of suppression were bigger than the eighteenth-century profits.
Although the transatlantic slave trade was over, slavery and the Royal Navy's efforts to suppress it continued in East Africa and the Indian Ocean into the 20th century. This trade in humans is now commonly known as people trafficking. Further details of this can be found on the Continuing Operations Today page.

A man driving a Ferrari Enzo lost control while getting onto Interstate-95 at Exit 7 in Stamford, Connecticut at 8:45 a.m. Monday.
State police Lt. J. Paul Vance said after losing control the high powered vehicle struck a bridge wall on the right shoulder and skidded across three lanes of traffic before smashing into the jersey barrier.
The 40-year-old New York driver was sent to Stamford Hospital where he was treated for some minor cuts and was issued a ticket for failing to drive in an established lane.
His Ferrari was heavily damaged in the center of the right side of the car, Vance said.
Enzos are one of, if not the, most expensive of the Ferraris. Only about 350 of them were built, which can drive up the price to more than $2 million on the used car market. Even just a model of the car retails for more than $6,000 on the Ferrari online store.
Named after the founder of the Ferrari supercar company in Italy, the Enzo is also one of the fastest Ferraris, with 650 horsepower and a top speed of 218mph.

Ready for Halloween
How's that for a scary looking pair of front doors. Depending on how much I get done this week, they may still look like that a week from now.
I stripped off the paint and what you are seeing are the remnants of the original paint job from 1895. I think it was black with gray or maybe black, gray and red. There is some red on the trim around the panels that is very early. There was also the brown paint from the 20s and then finally the green from a decade ago. Once again the green paint that was applied over the other, failing paint jobs was what caused much of the work. Sometimes doing nothing really is better.
I did the panel on the interior to finish off the mail slow. This hides the wood I had to add when I went from the wider, modern mail slot to the narrower, antique slot.
This is the other side. Next up sand and paint, which would be easy except I need to decide on the color scheme. It will most likely end up being the 3 shades of green I used on most of the rest of the house. That would be Basil, Clarey Sage, and Livable Green. The question is, do I highlight with the fired brick that I used on the water table, crown molding, and window sash.

'Hunger Games' Star Jena Malone Goes Nearly Nude in Music Video [NSFW]
There's a scene in 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' where Jena Malone, who plays the character of Johanna Mason, strips down to nothing while in an elevator with Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) awkwardly looking on. In real life, Malone leaves little to the imagination again in a new music video for her song, 'Dead Rabbit Hopes.'
The 29-year-old actress is the lead singer for the experimental indie band, The Shoe, who will release a new album on June 3, 2014. 'Dead Rabbit Hopes' is the first music video for The Shoe.
In an interview with Stereogum, Malone talks about appearing pretty much nude in most of the video, wearing only strategically placed flowers to cover her up. She lays still singing for most of the song, surrounded by falling glitter and stars as the track progresses.
"I wanted to talk about a woman's beauty and sexuality in a way that felt very different from our highly manipulated and sexualized world," she tells the site. "I actually wanted to desexualize my own naked body while upholding its own perfect eternal grace. I didn't want it to be about lingerie or booty shorts. I wanted it to be about the work of art that you are born with."
Malone will be reprising her role as tough girl Joanna in 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' and 'Mockingjay Part 2' as well. She recently teased to fans via her Instagram account that in 'Mockingjay,' "the world turns completely upside down."

Matomo is free open-source software
What is Free Software?
Free software is software that gives you the user the freedom to share, study and modify it. We call this free software because the user is free.
To use free software is to make a political and ethical choice asserting the right to learn, and share what we learn with others. Free software has become the foundation of a learning society where we share our knowledge in a way that others can build upon and enjoy.
Currently, many people use proprietary software that denies users these freedoms and benefits. If we make a copy and give it to a friend, if we try to figure out how the program works, if we put a copy on more than one of our own computers in our own home, we could be caught and fined or put in jail. That's what's in the fine print of the license agreement you accept when using proprietary software. The corporations behind proprietary software will often spy on your activities and restrict you from sharing with others. And because our computers have access to so much of our personal information and daily activities, proprietary software represents an unacceptable danger to a free society.
Matomo is Free Software
For Matomo (Piwik), the "free" in "free software" is used primarily in reference to freedom and not to price – although Matomo is free of charge. The most important thing about Matomo is not that it is available free of charge, but that it confers rights of software freedom on the people who install and use it. It is those freedoms that enable the Matomo community to grow, sharing its collective experience and expertise to improve Matomo.
Quoting the Free Software Foundation's "What is Free Software", the freedoms at the core of free software such as Matomo are defined as:
- The freedom to run the program, for any purpose.
- The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others.
- The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that everyone benefits.
Free software has been a coherent social movement for more than two decades. This movement has produced millions of lines of code, documentation, and a vibrant community of which Matomo is proud to be a part.

"My job during these years have always been to face reality, even in the hardest of times. Rafa has developed a real sense of responsiblity as well."
"We went back to the court, but I can't tell you if we'll be able to go back on top, I can't know it. I hope things will go for the best. We are calm because we know this is the right direction".
Talking about his rivals, Toni laughingly said: "I hope now Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic will get injured"
Rafa, who is the brand ambassador for the Bacardi Founation was present at various charity events, but doesn't want to rush his comeback. He did however say that when he returns he will be strong as ever.
"I work to again be the player I was before the injury, and I'm sure I can do it. My goal, when I'll be back, will be just to do give my best. If then I'll go back again to be number one, I'll be happy, but I'll be satisfied also as number 8."

Perspective: Strategies for Challenging Times
By Dean Joseph J. Helble
The current financial crisis affecting all sectors of the economy is also having an impact on higher education. Falling endowment values, a challenging federal research climate, and a strong commitment to meeting increasing student financial need have placed unprecedented pressure on college finances. Dartmouth College is not immune from these challenges, and is taking steps to reduce expenses while preserving student financial aid and faculty resources. Our commitment is to ensure that the outstanding academic experience of our students will not be compromised.
At the Thayer School, we are in a fortunate position relative to most academic institutions. Our research program has remained strong despite the increasingly competitive federal funding climate. For the first six months of the current fiscal year (through December 31, 2008), research grant awards to our faculty increased 26 percent over the same period one year ago. Funding continues to come from a broad range of sources, with 30 percent from the National Institutes of Health, 25 percent from non-federal sources, and nearly 30 percent from the National Science Foundation and Department of Defense combined, providing a buffer against budgetary challenges in any one particular area. Student interest in engineering also remains strong, with record enrollments noted in the Master of Engineering Management and Ph.D. programs this year, and enrollment in entry-level core engineering classes up significantly over the past several years. Although the value of Thayer's endowment has declined along with the stock market, the outstanding level of research funding, strong student interest in engineering, and continued careful management of discretionary expenditures place Thayer in a strong position to build for the future.
Over the course of the next academic year, while remaining flexible in our responses to this volatile economic environment, Thayer School will continue to build in strategic areas. We will conduct searches for new faculty in our energy and engineering-in-medicine focus areas, build our academic programs in these areas, continue to expand our unique Ph.D. Innovation Program [also, see Leading Edge] and continue to explore new educational opportunities for our students. These are certainly challenging times for the academic community, but Thayer is well positioned, and we look forward to continuing to grow and strengthen our academic enterprise.

Hi everyone,
I'm a (board) member of the Flanders MX-5 Club in Belgium. I registered myself on this forum because I'm going to drive the NC500 next year with a friend. I know you've all been driving these roads way before they put a nametag on it. I'm looking for tips, do's & don'ts, and perhaps even meet some of the local MX-5 guys on the way.
First, I'm aware the NC500 (and the whole of Scotland for that matter) isn't a known for its excellent weather conditions. Yet I would like to maximize my chances. It look like the months of May and June have the most sun (and less rain) statistically. I know this doens't mean a thing, but I would like to have the odds on my side. I also think this time of year, the NC500 wouldn't be too crowed (yet). What do you guys think? Is this a good period to drive the NC500?
Secondly, for those of you who already drove (parts of) the NC500 in an MX-5: how was it? Are the roads in good condition? Should I expect a lot of potholes? If campers can do it, I assume Bealach na Ba isn't a problem for these tiny cars? Anything else I should be aware of?
With kind regards,
Steven Spits
Flanders MX-5 Club

Toys are the solution of bored individuals. Make it a hobby as well. Collection too. Not only kids (but of course mostly they do) play and fond of remote or radio controlled toy vehicles like rc trucks electric but teenagers and adult does. It's not bad after all. It is an entertainment for them. A fun entertainment in racing on a race track or even in the floor, at home, or just anywhere of a safe place to play. Ah, it's a family/kids bonding stuff. It's great being kids again!

Patent Policy ApprovedMay 21, 2003
Good news from the W3C today. The proposed Royalty–Free Patent Policy has been approved.
Quote: "The Policy affirms and strengthens the basic business model that has driven innovation on the Web from its inception." They've hit the nail squarely on the head with this one. The spirit of the web is information sharing and openness, and it's encouraging to see a guiding body like the W3C maintain that philosophy.
Points of interest in Tim Berners–Lee's official decision —
- The announcement was timed to coincide with the ten year anniversary of CERN's original, similar decision about the early web
- Support amongst W3C members of the originally proposed Royalty–Free Patent Policy has been higher than any other recently adopted recommendation.
- Recognition is made that this policy can be perceived as threatening to some business models, but it's noted that ultimately this is the right decision for the web, not individual companies.
- There is, however, a provision made for the possibility of later inclusion of non–Royalty–Free technology. It's understood that this is only a last resort after all Royalty–Free alternatives are explored.
The last paragraph in Berners–Lee's decision states that no group involved got exactly what they wanted — be they patent holders or open source developers — which goes to show how political the process of developing this Policy was. In the end a balance had to be struck, and compromises made, but the end result speaks for itself.

Tim Burder
Dr. Diane Bretherton found
that a government apology for
past injustice only works when
it's backed up by action.
Diane Bretherton, PhD, attended her first peace march, a protest against nuclear weapons, with her aunt in 1950,
at age 7. By 1993, she helped launch the International Conflict
Resolution Centre at the University of Melbourne, a position
that melded her long-standing commitment to peace activism
and nonviolence and her background in psychology.
For 25 years, Bretherton has explored the tension between
nonindigenous Australians and Australian Aborigines. Recently,
she and her colleagues have investigated how an apology from
the government might affect those perspectives. The researchers
interviewed a small sample of Aborigines to get their
perspectives about what form an apology should take, whom
it should come from and what difference it would make. In the
2006 study, published in Peace and Conflict, they report that
forgiveness and reconciliation would only be possible following
an apology.
Bretherton retired in 2004, but she's still working on
Aboriginal issues. In 2008, the Australian government formally
apologized for laws and policies that "inflicted profound grief,
suffering and loss," including those that allowed Aboriginal
children to be taken from their families up until the 1970s.
After the apology, she and her colleagues launched a project to
examine what effect the apology had on Aboriginal people. The
response, she says, has been mixed.
"As the apology was to the Stolen Generation, it is limited
and does not include all Aborigines," Bretherton says. Many
Aborigines she has spoken with emphasize the importance of
deeds and actions. Although the government apologized, little
has changed at the policy level.
Today, the relationship between the two cultures remains
strained and unequal. According to a government report, for
example, Aborigines make up just 2. 5 percent of the total
population, but 25 percent of the Australian prison population,
and Aboriginal youths are 28 times more likely to be detained
by police than other kids.
Bretherton hopes that her work might lead to "a more
dignified relationship and partnership" with Aboriginal people.
"We miss out on a huge amount by not reconciling," she says. n

Willie Robertson at Preakness 2014
What do boxing champ Mike Tyson, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps and "Duck Dynasty" star Willie Robertson (pictured) have in common? They were all Preakness 2014 guests at the Under Armour/Sagamore Farm tent in the corporate village, which you might as well call "Celeb Central" when it comes to the Preakness these days. Faces seen coming and going -- or just spotted through the tent's shaded windows -- also included Olympic bobsledding gold medalist Steven Holcomb, retired University of Maryland basketball coach Gary Williams, professional basketball player Seth Curry, NBC News reporter Harry Smith. Since neither of the TV series that shoot in Maryland, "Veep" and "House of Cards," is currently in production, none of the show's stars were around to dazzle folks in the State of Maryland tent or the grandstand this year. Even one of Baltimore's favorite TV star "sons," Josh Charles, was unable to make it back to town for the race this year. There was word that actress -- and horse enthusiast -- Bo Derek was ensconced in the members-only Maryland Jockey Club area in the clubhouse. But why bother trying to grab a glimpse there when you could get more celebrity bang for your buck by just hanging outside the Under Armour tent, which is exactly what many corporate village guests, some of them high muck-a-mucks in their own right, were doing. -- Sloane Brown, for The Baltimore Sun

You can't beat a bit of Chanel. I started collecting the brand, tentatively when I was about 19, and it still makes me feel special when I use it.
I made a slight haulage at my local Chanel Counter:
It's all about the base baby. I had a sachet of Matt Lumiere foundation and loved how it looked and how long it lasted. When I got on the counter the SA convinced me Pro Lumiere was the one to go for. I like it. But I think I prefer the finish of the Matte. D'oh!
In Beige.
I am mad into primers at the moment – so I got Le Blanc De Chanel. It looks white when you apply it into the skin but it feels lovely and soft. It's a gel formula.
I wasn't remotely interested in the Spring Palette, Mystic eyes – boring browns and things but swatching it, I fell in love with the colours and more importantly, the texture. I have a fair few Chanel palettes but I do find them quite dry and chalky at times – this must have a new formula because it's lovely and soft:
The dark brown and silver are HAWT!
I also got a blush in Reflex. It's a gold shimmer coral. When faced between the choice of a peach based blush and a pink, for me, the peach will always win.
Finally I got the Spring lipgloss is Beige Guitare. The rose shade they had was also stunning but Beige had lots of pretty multi sparkles – its a pretty shimmery nude:

Air Travel with Portable Dialysis Machines Made Easier
Home Dialyzors United (HDU) has been in direct talks with the Department of Transportation since the beginning of 2013 regarding travel with portable dialysis machines on airlines. Many home dialyzors have had problems traveling with these machine although the Air Carrier Access Act prohibits discrimination based upon a person's disability. In the past portable dialysis machines were considered "assistive devices" per the Act (14 CFR Part 382).
We are grateful the DOT entered into fruitful discussions and has issued the Guidance on Travel with Portable Dialysis Machines.
Please view our announce on the HDU Website.
Dialysis Facility Performance Score Certificate
Have you seen this certificate posted in your dialysis facility?
All dialysis facilities are required by law to display this certificate in a public area until December 2013. This current certificate shows how well the dialysis facility was doing in 2011 in the areas of Anemia Management and Dialysis Adequacy. In the sample above, the dialysis facility scored "30 out of 30" while the national average was "29 out of 30." It shows the quality measures used to determine the score. The certificate should be displayed with a second page that explains how the score is used to improve care.
Take it personally by comparing your lab values to the facility scores?
- Do you know what your most recent URR or Kt/V were? Was your urea reduction ratio at least 65%?
- Do you know what your most recent hemoglobin was? What was your ratio of grams per deciliter (g/dL)? Is your range within normal limits? Too high? Too low?
Talk to your healthcare team about how you can improve or maintain your labs.
Keep in the know by looking for next year's certificate?
Each year The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will evaluate dialysis facilities using other factors under the Quality Incentive Program (QIP). The purpose of the QIP is to improve patient care. That means that each year, you will have an opportunity to see how well your facility is doing and how that directly impacts you.
REMEMBER: An informed patient is an empowered patient!
Beneficiary Focused Learning Network (BFLN)
All 18 ESRD Networks participated in the special project and a Technical Expert Panel (TEP) was convened to facilitate the collaborative process. The purpose of this special project was to conduct Learning and Network Activities to maximize existing resources, practices, and data sources across all Networks in order to increase understanding of the ESRD beneficiaries' view of dialysis care and knowledge of key components of their disease. Several Change Packages were developed as a result of this project.

To become a chiropractor, one must earn a degree from an accredited school and become licensed by the state in which they wish to practice. Many states also require continuing education credits for chiropractors to maintain licensure.
Chiropractors earn the doctor of chiropractic degree, or DC. Programs generally last between three and five years and students almost always are required to have a bachelor degree with an emphasis on science courses.
The Council on Chiropractic Accreditation is the national accrediting body for chiropractic programs in the United States. Students must earn their DC from an accredited school in order to be eligible to take the national exam, which is administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) and tests for skills in basic science, clinical science, clinical competency, x-ray interpretation and diagnosis, chiropractic technique, and case management.
Health Guide USA provides links to each state's chiropractic board, which detail requirements for state licensure. The North Carolina Board of Chiropractic Examiners, for example, requires aspiring licensees to pass the national exam in addition to a state administered exam. The Arizona Board of Chiropractic Examiners requires students to have a minimum score of 375 on the NBCE exam and pass a state jurisprudence exam. Vermont's Office for Professional Regulation, however, requires chiropractors only to have attended an accredited school and pass the national board exam.
Chiropractors are also often required to earn continuing education credits. For example, the Ohio State Chiropractic Board requires practicing chiropractors to complete 24 hours of continuing education every year to maintain licensure, while the Massachusetts Board of Chiropractors requires 12 hours of continuing education credits for each license renewal.

The UK Power of Information Taskforce is challenging developers to mash up their public data. Today it launched Show Us a Better Way, collecting ideas and offering £20,000 (about $40,000) to develop the best ones. There have already been 50 ideas submitted. The list of ideas is public. Those outside of the UK appear to be eligible, as long as the idea is put to use in the UK.
The taskforce describes the release as "gigabytes of new or previously invisible public information." The data is from census, health care and education sources. Data is aggregated and does not contain any personal information.
This public information release should be a welcome news to mashup artists, whose work is sometimes restricted by the amount of data available. It is also a welcome sign that a government group understands it may not have all the answers. While releasing data is common, encouraging people to use it, and rewarding them for contributions, is not.
Among the APIs recommended by the taskforce are Google Maps and Flickr. We're looking forward to seeing what comes of this competition.

Distinguishing fact from fiction is as challenging in the world of firearms as it is everywhere else. Here's one perspective on firearm cleanliness, from author Tom Tabor in his Gun Digest 2013 article, "Ten Shooting Myths Exposed":
"How could anyone make an argument against firearm cleanliness? Well, I can think of only a single instance when a little dirt might be a good thing, and that is inside your gun barrel when it comes to heading out for a hunt. One of the factors necessary for consistent shot placement has to do with the consistency of the firearm bore. Simply put, a round fired through a clean bore will almost always impact at a different point that those shots that follow—and that first shot is often the most important you will take in a hunting situation. I have frequently found the amount of variation can be from about an inch all the way up to three or four inches at 100 yards. If you never shoot past 50 yards, this might not be an issue of concern, but, if you find yourself trying to pull off a shot at a recordbook bighorn ram on that once-in-a-lifetime hunt at 400 or 500 yards, it could easily become a substantial problem to overcome. I like to remove all the variables I can and, in so doing, I always send a round down the barrel and foul the bore before heading out to hunt."

The Queensland Heritage Park complex in Biloela, Central Queensland, represents a celebration of our nation's glorious past and the pioneering spirit of Australians.
Through a remarkable range of exhibits the Queensland Heritage Park provides and insight into the past for present and future generations.

The walls of these buildings are lined with historical photographs and associated memorabilia from the families who shaped the district's early days. Each photo is like a window back in time.
The Callide Dawson Machinery Preservation Club grounds at the rear of the complex compliment the many exhibits found inside the main display area, housed in the "Silo" structure that was originally built to showcase Australia's rich primary industries at the World Exhibition held in Brisbane in 1988.
Take the time to explore, discover and relive the past as you browse through the machinery sheds and the large array of vintage agricultural machinery.

Hello, my name is Debbie and i'm expecting my "new arrival" on the 12th. I didn't realize how my nerves would hit me in the meantime - just hoping all goes well with her flight (she's coming in from OK to CA) and the ride home goes smoothly. Above all else, i'm hoping she arrives in the best of health. My hubby and I just learned she was bumped off her original flight coming in on the 8th, due to overbooking. :( I feel like I can't wait another day to see her precious face - but i'm already in love with her, so if I had to wait another 6 months, I would. (i'd hate it, but I would) That said, i'm glad to be in the company of all the Cav lovers here, and will be posting and checking in soon!!
