In a way, I'm a bit sorry that this is the topic I chose for these particular entry. I guess I thought I would have some other interesting thing to say or to write about here, but I feel I need to write about this, and the language does not actually matter this time.
I have been reading a lot lately, a habit I had left buried alongside my laundry (almost literally), but that I have recovered slowly (like my laundry) thanks to some unimportant books, but no because they're not important, it's just that they are not the types of book you brag about, but the kind that you read because you simply like them. The stories are simple enough, and complicated enough as well; the characters make sense, some of them are ratable, and therein lies the problem, the issue, the topic.
You, the reader, are, well just that: the reader. You are an spectator of a story that is unfolding before your eyes, or the eye of your mind if your imagination is stronger than mine. The story is not happening to you, no matter how much you would like it to, it simply won't. So you try to understand what that means, you try to remember that, as the reader, you can partake on the adventure from an outside view, and you feel good about that, specially when the story takes a sharp turn to an unexpected place, you enjoy the feeling of surprise, but then it subsides and your reality sets in again, you remember that once you finish the book, it will all be over, you are aware that the main character will survive the peril, you might not be sure how, but you know that it will, because the series still has another book title after the character, so the story becomes dull, the characters plain and all the effort becomes a waste...
... and then you keep reading, because there are still things that you don't know, things that still don't make sense, things that remain hidden, even for you, the reader, the external force that actually drives the entire story, so you find yourself in a different position: holding all that knowledge, but also pretending that you don't.
Sometimes the book actually takes a hold of you and you actually want or don't want something to happen, sometimes you desperately want to take a peek at the next page, or the next chapter, but you restrain yourself form that and you keep reading, even though you know how the page will end because your eyes slipped and saw that last word...
He/she knew it as well, the surprise is there, but it is not a surprise, the characters is speechless, and so are you. what to do now? keep reading, obviously...no! if you keep reading that terrible thing might happen, but you can't just leave the book there, the story has to end!... does it?
Funny though, this is not what I wanted to write about, I my head I had the word "love" waiting to be talked about, to reference and to give the reader, now you, something to think about.
I wanted to write about the real and unreal, about the feeling and the idea, about the topic, the sensation, the awkwardness, the joy, and the sadness... but my mind drove me somewhere else.

There are a few books I've read which came to mind when I read your post. One of them is 'Shadow of the Wind'. I remembered being so absorbed into the book - I couldn't wait to get everything done in the real world so I could get back into being lost, in the world of that book.
Some books I've read, they lingered, the characters remain inside me even after years of reading them and I think those are signs of a well written story.

Wikipedia disrupted the information world. Is it time to help it disrupt the classroom? Firsthand participation can extend the Wikipedia conversation beyond rigid rules and paternalistic pronouncements. After all, students can already rattle off well-memorized reasons why they shouldn't cite Wikipedia in their papers. Encouraging them to explore active, critical roles in the Wikipedia community can teach them valuable lessons about how information is properly evaluated, refined, substantiated, and disseminated. This presentation would offer theoretical perspectives for situating Wikipedia in the classroom, suggest practical teaching approaches and applications, and report preliminary research findings.

We are here! I love blogging up here by the lake! I came down with a summer cold..sniff. sniff. I am getting a lot of rest. This lake place was given to me and my siblings....Our parents especially my Dad felt very strongly about passing this on to the children. They bought this little cabin in 1974. It was my parents passion to fix it up and spend family time here. Now in 2008 they are both gone and three generations are spending lazy weekends here...It hasn't been completely smooth going, it can be challenging, sharing this legacy with six other families. But we will figure it out as we go...I can now see what my parents vision was...that once they were gone there would be something to keep my siblings connected..a little place by the lake!

Hello all! I've just gotten back from an exciting trip to Seattle with the family. An annual, or semi-annual thing, the purpose of this trip was to see my sister and brother-in-law and exchange our belated Christmas and birthday gifts. Due to the border between us, visits are not a regular occurrence, so every such trip is considered a very special occasion.
And in addition to spending time with the people I love, exchanging some choice swag and visiting a lot of interesting places, I finally got a chance to do some on-site sampling at the PIke Brewery this year. Last time I was in Seattle, I got to the front door, but was forced to double back with the rest of my troupe and wasn't able to dine in. But this year, thanks in part to my darling wife, we managed to secure ourselves a table for some light lunch and some brews.
And let me tell you, it was an experience I would very much like to repeat. Not only is the decor very industrial-chic, punctuated by sculpted metal ceilings, columns, and art deco, it's also got an unmistakably historic feel to it. Having been established in the early 80's, only the third brewpub of its kind to open in North America before everybody and their brother was doing it, this place has been around for some time, but still manages to keep things honest.
Not only was our beer top shelf, we got some awesome food and some choice service. In fact, our server – Melanie, who's kind of my hero right now – managed to score us some free pints because of a tiny error in our order. How cool was that? And just to return a small shred of that courtesy, I let her and the others know that they would be featured in this review. Hello Pike People! Anyhoo, onto our selection…
As those who follow this site may know, I have reviewed the bulk of Pike's beers in another post, so I shan't go over the same ground here. And while I did take the chance to resample some older favorites, I was sure to tackle a few I knew I hadn't had the chance to review yet. They were…
Space Needle Golden Anniversary Vintage IPA:
Commemorating 50 years of the Space Needle being built, and roughly 30 years of independent brewing, this golden IPA is a multifaceted and pleasing take on the traditional India Pale Ale. Combining a variety of Yakima Valley hops – Cascade, Columbus, Centennial, Summit – the overall effect is an ale that is both citrusy, slightly sweet, floral and even tropical in nature. Since it is of such limited availability, I'm glad I got some while I could. No telling if it would be available north of the 49th parallel!
Appearance: Golden orange, cloudy, mild foam retention and carbonation
Nose: Varied hops, tropical and floral, heavy on the passion fruit
Taste: Immediate burst of hops, starting with citrus and moving to tropical, then bitter
Aftertaste: Lingering bitterness and citrus rind flavor
Overall: 9/10
Tandem Double Ale:
Named in honor of the Finkel's tandem bicycle, this beer is a Belgian-style dubbel that is available year round. And like many dubbels, it is spiced with coriander and is double-fermented to get a deep, heavy flavor that is reminiscent of pudding and sweet breads. Though I've had this one before, I somehow failed to dedicate a review to it. Not sure why, seems so un-snob like of me! In any case, I made a special point to get some takeaway so I could give this standout its due!
Appearance: Deep brown, very cloudy and almost opaque, mild foam and carbonation
Nose: Ruddy malts, sugary and molasses-like, slight notes of spice
Taste: Immediate dose of mild spice, heavy malts, syrupy and pudding like, mild tang
Aftertaste: Slight notes of coriander and coarse malt
Overall: 8/10
Cask Conditioned IPA:
This beer was brought to me free of charge thanks to our heroic barwoman (Thanks again, Mel!), and was my choice for last call since Casks are the truest ales around, and hence the ultimate test of a brewer's mettle. And I was very pleased that this beer was as consistently good with their standard IPA, but still managed to present a few surprises of its own. Served at cellar temperatures, low in foam and carbonation, unfiltered and unpasteurized, true ales are not for the uninitiated, but are a real pleasure once you get a taste for them.
Appearance: Deep amber, very cloudy, low foam and carbonation
Nose: Floral hops, slight citrus notes, mild malts
Taste: Lighter malts, tawny and clean on the tongue, followed by notes of grapefruit
Aftertaste: Mild bitterness, relatively clean aftertaste
Overall: 9/10
And of course, our food! As is customary for us whenever sampling lighter fare, my wife and I decided to get the chicken wings and the spinach salad. Naturally, Pike Brewery has their own twists on both, and they skyrocketed to the top of my list of the best wings I've had since moving to the West Coast! Baked, not fried, plump and juicy, with a spicy sauce that achieved a slow-to-build but powerful burn, and with a divine blue cheese dressing, these wings achieved a trifecta of wing perfection! I know nothing comparable to them except for what Craig Street Brewing used to do.
And the spinach salad was equally good, made up of mushrooms, pine nuts,sun dried tomatoes, garlic, Parmesan, dried bits of prosciutto, and a light vinaigrette. The merger of these elements achieved a sort of healthy, crunchy, salty goodness, equal parts health food and guilty pleasure! And as always, a good spinach salad is the perfect accompaniment to hot wings and beer!
All around, it was a great time and I'm glad my wife and I had the wherewithal to force the issue. There was no way we were going to miss out on this place a second time! And I look forward to going back someday. Hopefully it won't take two more years this time!

Over-modelled skull update
Arnold Riley's donation of an over-modelled skull: an update by Freya Jones
Since Kristin's 2015 post – which probably posed more questions than answers about the creation and acquisition of RAMM's over-modelled skulls – a wealth of new information has been found on our specimen (1) from Fly River in Papua New Guinea.
Records have shown that this skull was presented to RAMM by widely-travelled, Devon-based lecturer Arnold William Riley in the 1930s, although there are no documents to indicate that our donor's voyages ever took him to the South Sea. However, recent research conducted with the assistance of Oxford's Pitt-Rivers Museum has allowed us to discover that he was the nephew of one E. Baxter Riley – a turn-of-the-century missionary in Papua New Guinea who establishes a connection between the donation and the Fly River region.
Riley's missionary uncle
We know that E. Baxter Riley was responsible for transporting at least two examples of Papuan over-modelled skulls to British museums during his time as a missionary. The fact that RAMM's specimen was donated by his nephew, however, shows that his family had also come into personal possession of Melanesian artefacts. This immediately poses the question of how?
Westerners travelling to 'exotic' colonies at this time did not hold the same beliefs about, or place the same significance, on such heads as the indigenous creators, but commonly collected these items as 'curios' to share with their families at home. It is likely that Baxter Riley obtained our particular skull for this reason, as a keepsake from the region and an object of interest.
This gives us a new point of consideration – the extent to which his acquisition of the skull was ethical.
At the time Rev. E. Baxter Riley was in Melanesia, the moral correctness behind collecting native artefacts was seldom, if ever, considered by visitors from the West. Now, however, the very display of human remains in museums, let alone the circumstances of their obtainment, is a topic of constant debate.
Each individual object is 'ethical' to a degree defined by a variety of subtle factors from its unique history. In the case of our Melanesian skull, one such factor is that of the object's original purpose. As mentioned in the last post, an over-modelled skull from this area could have been made as part of a funerary rite to venerate a respected and departed tribe-member, or equally as the result of a head-hunting raid on an enemy settlement. Whichever way they were harvested though, the severed heads would have undergone much the same process – washed and cleaned, including removal of the skin and brain, put in an oven or over a fire while wrapped in palm leaves and then decorated with clay, mud or other natural materials – in order to create the final product. The value which indigenous people placed upon these products differed considerably, however, depending on their derivation.
Ancestor skulls
Ancestor skulls were generally kept for a long time and revered to the extent that they became part of their tribe's long-term culture. They were kept in men's houses, sometimes for generations, where their physical presence could influence ceremonies and important decisions about maintaining the settlement's welfare. By contrast, head-hunting trophies were typically displayed for far shorter periods after which they were often discarded. The status and power created by having exhibited a trophy skull was of far greater value to the head-taker than the object itself. It may therefore be seen that the extraction of an ancestor skull would have been less ethical than that of a hunted-head, due to the comparatively significant and long-lasting role that family-remains played within native culture.
'An ethical acquisition' – what does this actually mean? It is generally thought to be a transaction in which there is mutual agreement between, and respect for, all parties involved.
So while the nature of the skull's creation does influence the likeliness of there having been mutual agreement behind whichever transaction took place, the situation of that transaction is another factor bringing a bearing upon the item's ethics. Perhaps E. Baxter Riley did not get it from the makers. He may have acquired it directly, indirectly, by sale, by force or another way entirely, and each possibility constitutes a different degree of correctness. It must be remembered that even if E. Baxter Riley bought the skull, the sale could still have been unethical. This would have been likely, due to the unequal hierarchy exerted on economy by colonial rule, which sometimes caused indigenous traders to be pressured into transactions with which they did not agree.
Recent osteological work
Recent osteological examination of our skull has shown that it belonged to a healthy adult female. The mandible was removed and has been artificially reattached. The cause of death is undeterminable. This information gives us many clues as to the reason why the person's head was turned into our over-modelled skull (which is, of course, one of the key points for our ethical evaluation). Victims of head-hunting could be men, women or children on an equal basis.
Ancestor or otherwise, almost all skulls had their jaws removed at some point in the over-modelling process, though those harvested through head-hunts were often not remade into one piece. This was because the jaws were often separated and kept in the hunter's house once the rest of the skull had been discarded, or they were shared out if multiple men had collaborated in catching the victim.
As documented in a chapter on the making of over-modelled skulls, from the 1925 book Among Papuan Head-Hunters, written by E. Baxter Riley himself, victims of head-hunting were ritually killed with a single blow to the head before decapitation. The fact that our skull has been kept with its mandible and has no obvious cranial damage therefore provides substantial evidence for the assumption that it was actually created as an ancestral relic. If this was the case, does the value the skull would have consequently held mean that it is less likely to have been willingly sold and more likely to have been seized?
During his time in Papua New Guinea, E. Baxter Riley would have had several opportunities to obtain over-modelled skulls without directly contacting a tribe. (2) One example is the instance in which the reverend was given some skulls by Fly River's Resident Magistrate. While we definitely know these to have been the two items he presented in other museums, the information shows us that there were already Melanesian remains circulating in the hands of other colonists, making it possible for it to have been them from whom Baxter Riley also acquired our skull.
A further occasion where over-modelled skulls came into the possession of missionaries was following the retributive raid carried out on an indigenous village in 1901 in response to the murder of E. Baxter Riley's predecessor, James Chalmers. Here, over 10,000 heads were reportedly seized from the settlement, a hoard that was subsequently destroyed but from which one item taken as a souvenir would not have been missed.
These are both likely scenarios through which the skull could have fallen into E. Baxter Riley's personal collection. 21st century ethnographers and anthropologists may draw their own conclusions as to the ethicality of them, as well as that of Arnold William Riley's subsequent donation to the museum.
Please look out for further details of the skull's analysis which will soon be made available by Kristin Leith in her forthcoming article. We hope that these will provide us with greater insight into just how and why it was made – information essential to answering more questions about the over-modelled skull's indigenous value and the consequent nature of its acquisition.
- This over-modelled skull is mentioned in the previous blog. Its accession number is 129/1935, denoting that it was the 129th object to be acquired by RAMM in 1935. This number is a way of being able to identify the object but also catalogue and store records written about the item.
- In addition to the two circumstances discussed in the article (it is advisable you read these first), E. Baxter Riley may have alternatively acquired our skull from the indigenous people whom he interviewed about the over-modelling process in 1921. These men were taken as prisoners by the Government Patrol Office and were probably put under a great deal of pressure to give E. Baxter Riley all the information they could. If they had possessed an example of an over-modelled skull, it is therefore likely that they would have given it to him – willingly or otherwise – and he may have been able to retain this for his personal collection. This possibility is unlikely, however (and therefore not included in the main article), as the reason Baxter Riley conducted the interview was to make up for the fact that he had been unable to examine any over-modelled skulls for himself.
- Baxter-Riley, E. 1925. Among Papuan Headhunters: An account of the manners of customs of the old Fly River headhunters, with a description of the secrets of the initiation ceremonies divulged by those who have passed through all the different orders of the craft, by one who has spent many years in their midst.

Magic Markings
Magic Markings at the 2018 NY Outsider Art Fair - Booth #31
I'm very pleased to present Magic Markings for the third time at the Outsider Art Fair in New York. As with past presentations, the focus is on works on paper collected in North and Western India over the past 23 years. Dating from the late 18th Century to the present day, most of these drawings are associated with Hindu, Jain and Tantric worship while others are vernacular drawings and diagrams related to daily living and design. The works are almost never signed, making attribution impossible and precise dating difficult, though there are a few collections on view that were created by known artists, priests and astrologers
To a large extent my appreciation of the work is inevitably rooted in their visual language and aesthetics. I find them beautiful and compelling. In some cases they bear striking formal relationships to traditions of western modernism, and Tantric art in particular has had a powerful influence on many artists I admire. I've also long been fascinated by drawings that are not intended to be 'art' as a self contained activity but rather as a functional, utilitarian practice. Architectural plans, astronomical computations, instructional notations for prayer, healing diagrams that correspond to energy currents in and around the body: these reflect various systems of thought, belief and action, providing an insight into ancient and occasionally esoteric philosophical and spiritual worldviews.
Scene from the Ramayana Northern India 19thC
Anonymous Hindu and Jain Drawings
This body of historical work is very broad in scope. It ranges from devotional depictions of saints and deities, to stanzas from manuscripts of Vedic philosophy that focus on morality and modes of conduct. The Jain material comprises of cartoon-like illustrations that allude to the punishment of sinners in the seven levels of Hell, to maps of the universe in the guise of the cosmic man.
Jain manuscript demonstrating punishment of sinners Rajasthan 19th C
This group also includes manuals about divination: the 'reading' of marks and twitches on the face as well as guides to palm reading, horoscopes and other interpretations of omens. There are diagrams related to forms of healing for humans and Ayurvedic manuscripts dealing with the treatment of horses.
Face reading and astrological document to establish the suitability of a couple in marriage
Tantric Works
Tantra is a Sanskrit term that means "to weave" or "to expand." Rather than reducing natural phenomena and individual experience into isolated parts, in Tantra our inward, personal worlds are seen as manifestations of larger universal forces. Tantric practice teaches techniques to transform energy and in particular the powerful energy generated by desire, which is seen as an essential element for the spiritual path.
Goddess Yantra dedicated to raising Kundalini energy, Northern India 19thC
Yantras are the most common visual aspect of Tantric practice and these 'power diagrams' form an important part of the collection. They act as spiritual maps depicting the underlying structure of the universe using symbolic codes, geometric patterns as well as occasional figurative imagery. They are tools to guide the viewer in Tantric meditation but are also considered charged with their own inherent energy to be used in the process of spiritual transformation and learning.
Krishna Yantra, Rajasthan 19thC
Modern and Contemporary Tantra drawings
These drawings are less instructional than the traditional Yantras used in complex rituals and are used primarily as meditation aids. Based on the most reductive and elemental forms such as the cell, seed, yoni and lingam all of which suggest transformational states
Acharya Vyakul
(1930- 2000) came to prominence in 1989 in the exhibition Magiciens de la Terre in Paris and was subsequently exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. Vyakul was a scholar, Tantra practitioner and author who ran the Museum of Indology in Jaipur. His drawings were often created in a trance like state and express a unique reflection of his spiritual vision
Acharya Vyakul c1990
Badrinath Pandit was
a Vishnaite priest and astrologer who was a contemporary (and possibly a teacher of) Vyakul. He dedicated his creative practice to paintings of
, the sacred stones and fossils found on the bed of Lake Gandaki in Nepal. With their very particular shapes, colours and marks they are venerated for representing the myriad qualities associated with Vishnu and his avatars.
Shaligrams by Badrinath Pandit c.1970
Kalu Ram
(c1950- 2008) was an amazingly versatile Jaipur artist who was dedicated to exploring the widest range of Tantric imagery as well as other forms of Indian devotional art (including some astonishing charts of
). Magic Markings will present a selection of the artist's works from wild female goddesses to the purest iconic forms of the Brahmanda, The Cosmic Egg that references the Lingam but also the singular atom from which all creation evolved.
Kalu Ram, c 1990
Contemporary Works by known and anonymous artists
Another group of works are made by contemporary artists working in Jaipur who make versions of historical material as part of their apprenticeship, learning about mixing colours using natural pigments and experimenting with textures and burnishing techniques.

Is The Next Hollywood Executive About To Fall?
Students Call For The Takedown of Bryan Singer!
Since Harvey Weinstein was called out for his allegedly disgusting ways, we've seen a domino effect in the City of Angels. Recently, Kevin Spacey came out of the closet as homosexual after his allegations. Now, the latest Hollywood hotshot to be called out with sexual assault allegations…again – and again – and again – is X-Men Director, Bryan Singer. Singer has fallen to many sexual allegations over the years which led to Evan Rachel Wood to release a since-deleted-tweet stating: "Let's not forget about Brian [sic] Singer either". Check out some tweets about Singer that have spawned since the Weinstein scandal:
Let us not forget: In 2014, Buzzfeed released an insane expose on Singer and his Hollywood posse hunting for barely legal boys to party with. Aspiring writer, Tommy Johnson, who refused to give his age, stated he had recruited young men to bring to Singer's Hollywood Hills parties:
"If I meet a young actor who's good-looking or somebody who I think would be, you know, either interesting to Bryan or be interested in Bryan — and most anybody who wants to be in this industry does want to meet people — then I would let [Bryan] know that I've got somebody that he might want to meet. And we would either have a dinner or maybe go to one of his parties or something like that. I think it's very not uncommon for any celebrity — your friends bring people to you. An average night going out to dinner with Bryan is five or six people at Spago and a several-thousand-dollar dinner. I think that people definitely want to be around that. It's fun! Why wouldn't you want to be around somebody who takes you to big restaurants and pays for everything?"
Soak in the following news while you can. According to Forward, strangely enough, articles regarding Singer are being pulled from websites.
According to The Daily Wire, a Twitter user detailed an alleged sexual assault from Singer – only for the tweets and user's profile – to vanish. Luckily, in some cases, the internet is almost forever, and the tweets were screen shot. Please read these next following tweets from the bottom up:
Not only are these cryptic tweets of an alleged assault damaging, actress Jessica Chastain is fueling the fire:
According to The Daily Beast, Chastain was pressed for what her tweet about Singer meant. She does have a role in the next X-Men film after all. She tells:
"I made a decision very early on to not work with people that I felt abused their positions, and didn't create a healthy environment for those around them. I actually chose to do X-Men because I'm working with Simon Kinberg, who's also a first-time filmmaker who I met on The Martian, and is an incredible writer and producer. I actually chose to do X-Men because I'm working with Simon Kinberg, who's also a first-time filmmaker who I met on The Martian, and is an incredible writer and producer."
One could assume this is a shakedown of Singer.
Now, The Hollywood Reporter reports the University of Southern California students are petitioning to have Singer's name removed from the school's Cinema and Media Studies Division. The petition reads:
"We, the students of the USC School of Cinematic Arts, are formally requesting that Bryan Singer's name be removed from our Division of Cinema and Media Studies. It is completely unacceptable that this prestigious department within our school still carries the name of Bryan Singer, a man accused multiple times of sexual harassment, assault, and pedophilia.
Despite Singer's philanthropic work for SCA, having his name attached to a division of the School of Cinematic Arts gives the impression that we, both as an institution and as members of the entertainment industry, value his financial contributions over the safety, respect and future of students. It sets a precedent of lenience for sexual criminals and further undermines the visibility and respect that victims of harassment and assault deserve."
I'm keeping my eyes on this story as it unravels. I don't know if this will drop like a hot potato by the end of the week or continue for something bigger.

Tuesday had to be one of the most rewarding days of this year. We completed our second service learning project. We previously read a story about Alzheimer's and had our principal's daughter, a geriatric social worker, talk to our kids about the disease. Many of the students have a great-grandparent that has been diagnosed with the disease.
We went to a memory care unit to visit with some Alzheimer and dementia patients. This was a very emotional day for the students and teachers alike. Students visited with patients and colored pictures. Then, they played songs on their recorders, and sang. It was very emotional to watch patients that don't remember much of their lives, or even what they just had for breakfast break into song. When students saw the principal's daughter crying, and realized how many of the patients were singing along to "This Little Light" they had to do an encore. Almost all of the patients joined in, including the resident hummer, that can no longer speak. Hardly a dry eye in sight! I was so proud of my kids! This was very meaning for them and all involved.
Tuesday was also made memorable when I reached 200 followers. Yipee! I am planning a giveaway, but need some time to get it organized. Want to help by donating a item? I would love to hear from you!
Hope your day was rewarding, and memorable for the right reasons.

Sydney Light Rail, NSW, Australia
LogiKal was engaged by the Project Director to undertake a strategic review of the Sydney Light Rail delivery programme to better understand the delivery challenges being faced and how they might be overcome. The review was undertaken over a 3 – 4 week period and identified several improvement opportunities to strengthen performance management and improve delivery. The output from the review was an agreed improvement programme signed off by the Project Director and the joint venture parties. LogiKal was asked to lead the several of the improvement initiatives and support the joint venture in their delivery of the others and this was undertaken over 4 months in 3 phases. LogiKal then supported the embedding of these improvements over a further 6 months on an ad-hoc basis. With improvements established, LogiKal's role transitioned into a managed service arrangement, where we continued to lead and deliver the project controls function for the Sydney Light Rail project which is due for completion in 2019.

Caring for Cats Later in Life
Age is not a disease. It is a stage of life. Care of an older feline family member can be difficult. We are here to help you balance conditions and diseases older cats may experience with quality of life. Special considerations are required in evaluating, examining, hospitalizing, and caring for older felines. We follow the recommendations for mature, senior, and geriatric care set forth by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP).
We screen senior cats at each mature/geriatric visit for some of the following feline conditions and diseases:
- Dental disease
- Osteoarthritis
- Hyperthyroidism (over-active thyroid)
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Heart disease
- Renal insufficiency/failure (kidney disease)
- Nutritional deficiencies/ sensitivities
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Anxiety
- Dementia
For "mature" cats (7-10 years old) we recommend annually:
- Physical Exam
- Fecal Examination
- Complete blood count and blood chemistry (CBC/Chemistry)
- Urinalysis
- Thyroid blood test depending on physical condition
- Blood pressure depending on physical condition
For "senior" cats (11-14 years old) we recommend:
- Physical Exam every 6 months
- Fecal Examination with each visit
- CBC/Chemistry annually, or every 6 months if ever abnormal
- Urinalysis annually, or every 6 months if ever abnormal
- Thyroid blood test annually
- Blood pressure annually, or every 6 months if ever abnormal
- Chest x-rays, potentially joint x-rays depending on condition
For "geriatric" cats (15+ years old) we recommend:
- Physical Exam every 6 months
- Fecal Examination with each visit
- CBC/Chemistry every 6 months
- Urinalysis every 6 months
- Thyroid blood test every 6 months
- Blood pressure every 6 months
- Chest x-rays every 6-12 months, potentially joint x-rays depending on condition

Firefox Incomplete Simplified Article Clips
silntknight posted a topic in Web Clipper IssuesI have been struggling to use the web clipper effectively, since it seems to prevent the user from selecting the region they want to clip when using the Simplified Article mode (or really anything other than selection). For example, I am trying to clip this web forum page, but I run into issues with each approach. I've attached screenshots of the types of clips below. The full article basically does a full page capture, but as you can see in the screenshot ("full.JPG"), it, as expected, captures all the background colors and formatting. To remove this, I attempted using the simplified article view. As you can see in "simplified_top.JPG," it does simplify correctly, but in the "simplified_bottom.JPG" image, you can see that the article stops at the end of the first forum post. Not only is there no way to tell the Web Clipper to collect more than just that, I can't seem to find a way to capture the remaining data as a simplified article and append it by merging notes. I am wondering how I can go about capturing everything in simplified form (so I can delete the remainder later), or force it to capture a selected region, but with the simplified formatting. Thanks!
I'm on a Mac with OSX 10.7.9. I'm using the latest version of Evernote for the desktop, 6.0.16. Something new has just starting happening in the last two or three days. When I try to edit a note and put the insertion point where I want to type, typing just one character immediately selects from the insertion point to the end of the current paragraph. Typing another character then, of course, replaces all the selected text with that next character. I've never seen anything like it. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have any ideas about how to correct it?
Hi everyone. I am a big fan of Evernote and depend on it for my every day life. With the heavy usage, there are features that I would like changed for a more effective performance. When using the copy and paste feature on Evernote (Android), Evernote limits selection when bullets and numbers are involved. I do not see the point in doing so and I know that the application on windows does not have this limitation. So if I wanted to copy all of the words in the example above. I would first have to select "example:" copy and paste it into wherever. Then Select "I work with bullet points a lot." Then copy and paste it into wherever Then Select "When I try to copy and paste the bullet points" then copy and paste it wherever Then Select "I am only able to select one bullet point content at a time" then copy and paste it wherever. Process is the same if I want to bold everything or highlight, etc. In other words, it takes a process that should take 5 seconds into something that can take 5-10 min depending on how much content and bullet (or number) points I want to select. By the way. If you remove the bullets, you still CANT select everything at once. The app believes that the bullet is still there and will not let you select all of the content at one time. Please FIX!

How to Make a Peppermint Mocha Latte
Classic holiday flavors of brisk peppermint and rich chocolate flavor this festive coffee drink.
A dollop of foamed milk—courtesy of a simple microwave trick—lends a little flair. Reduced-fat and fat-free milks work best for foaming in the microwave. You agitate the milk in a sealed container, then heat in the microwave to set the foam, no fancy frother required. Peppermint oil, much more concentrated than alcohol-diluted extract, lends bold mint flavor with just a couple of drops. Look for it at Whole Foods or natural foods stores in the essential oils section. While we love very dark chocolates (80% percent or more), bittersweet works best here, making for rounder, smoother flavor.
RELATED: 400-Calorie Dinners You Need to Try
You'll need:2 cups strong brewed coffee
1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk, divided
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ounce 60% bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 to 2 drops peppermint oil
Crushed peppermint sticks (optional)
RELATED: The Best Sweet Potato Recipes
1. Combine coffee and 1/4 cup milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Add sugar, cocoa, and chocolate to pan; cook over low heat 4 minutes or until chocolate melts, stirring frequently. (Do not simmer.) Stir in peppermint oil. Divide hot coffee mixture among 6 small coffee cups.
2. Place remaining 1/4 cup milk in a microwave-safe 1-cup container with a lid. Shake vigorously for 1 minute or until milk is frothy and doubled in volume. Remove lid; microwave milk at HIGH for 30 seconds. Top each coffee cup with a dollop of milk froth. Divide any remaining hot milk evenly among cups. Garnish each cup with crushed peppermint, if desired.
Active time: 8 minutes. Total time: 8 minutes. Yields 6 servings (serving size: about 1/3 cup).

Telecommunications Wiring Policy
To establish principles and provisions to guide the university in the construction and ongoing management of its telecommunications cabling infrastructure.
This policy applies to new construction or renovation projects involving the design, installation, maintenance, and use of all telecommunications cabling components and support systems on any university property whether inside buildings, externally attached to buildings, or between buildings (above or below ground). This includes, but is not limited to, copper wiring, copper cable, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, conduit, duct banks, maintenance holes and any other cabling support system.
The priorities established for the University's physical plant of telecommunications cabling systems are safety, security, economy, reliability, and capability. The goal of the university is to ensure the integrity and stability of the University Network and the efficiency and effectiveness of its construction and operation. To this end the University of Kansas adopts the following principles.
- Enterprise Class Systems, systems that serve the entire campus, represent the most effective way to provide for the University's priorities in information transport. Enterprise Class Systems, by their very nature, reduce the total cost of ownership to the university as a whole, and maximize the availability and reliability of its information transport systems for all of its constituents. Enterprise Class Systems reduce the total number of separate and distinct systems required to service all the diverse information transport needs of the entire University community.
- The University's Network, as with any campus-wide utility infrastructure, must be considered part of the basic infrastructure and utility services of the University. Consequently, telecommunications cabling shall be considered part of the basic infrastructure and utility services of the University. Installation of the telecommunications cabling infrastructure is to be considered part of the "up front" basic building and renovation costs, and is not considered a discretionary option in construction and renovation design.
- The University Network requires management to ensure reliability and effective operation. Enterprise level planning and management is best served by centralized planning and management. Through central planning and management, the University ensures that the network infrastructure resource is constructed and operated in an integrated, cost-efficient, and effective manner.
- The University Enterprise Telecommunications Cabling System is for the overall use of the University as a whole and is managed for the benefit of all University units taken together as a whole. To this end, and to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of this infrastructure, the network system utilizing this cabling system shall be designed and implemented to handle a wide variety of information transport requirements. This network system is offered to departments to satisfy their video, voice and digital data transport needs. To control information transport costs, this system is preferred over creation of single use information transport systems.
The following provisions are established to enable the Universities principles adopted as part of this policy:
- All telecommunications cabling installed on university property shall be considered the property of the university and as such shall be considered part of the University's Structured Telecommunications Cabling System.
- All University Telecommunications equipment (including, but not limited to - routers, switches, hubs and telecommunications wiring) shall be access controlled utilizing locked rooms or cabinets or comparable physical security measures.
- The University, through IT, shall adopt a uniform standard of components, construction practices, construction process procedures, and an ongoing operational methodology. This standard is to be considered part of the University's "building code" to which all installations must conform. This standard shall be known as the University's Uniform Telecommunications Wiring Standard, or KU's Division 27 Design and Construction Guidelines.
- All new construction, remodeling, and extensions of the University's Structured Telecommunications Cabling System will comply with the University's Uniform Telecommunications Wiring Standard to ensure that the cabling system is constructed and managed in a strategic manner consistent with University priorities.
- Information Technology shall act as the central university entity responsible for creating the University's Uniform Telecommunications Wiring Standard. IT will maintain documentation of best practices and procedures, in consultation with University departments, including Design and Construction Management and is responsible for updates.
- Network systems located on private property may be required to be certified before they are allowed to directly connect to university systems.
- No entity may modify, or repair any component associated with the University's Structured Telecommunications Cabling System without approval of IT.
- No entity may install or attach any telecommunications cabling or cabling component to university property without approval of IT.
- Dedicated links of cabling (copper or fiber for example) to implement single purpose information transport systems are not offered as part of the (University's Structured Telecommunications) Cabling System. Approval for dedicated links of cabling shall only be granted when it is not feasible to utilize the existing enterprise network system and only when approved by IT.
- A codified set of practices and processes shall be established in order to clearly identify and delineate the roles and responsibilities of the various university entities involved in telecommunications construction activity. DCM and IT take joint responsibility for ensuring that these practices and processes are effectively developed and maintained.
Exceptions to this Policy shall only be allowed if previously approved by the KU Information Technology Security Office and this approval is documented and verified by the Chief Information Officer.
Failure to abide by the requirements of this policy and/or any standards or procedures that are developed to implement this policy may result in termination of the user's or departmental information services and/or access to the campus network. The department will be responsible for expenses associated with correction of any unauthorized installation, modification, or repair. Departments/Users may also be subject to other university sanctions, including disciplinary action, suspension, termination of employment, dismissal from the University, fines, and legal action. Some violations may constitute criminal offenses under local, state, and federal laws. The University will carry out its responsibility to report such violations to the appropriate authorities.

Media Specialist
"But by the Grace of God I am what I am: and his Grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain [and will never be in vain]" (1Cor. 15:10). Caro's life has been shaped by the many intersecting identities he holds. Born in the warm, hospitable, never asleep city of Cairo, his early childhood was formed by the Christian faith of the Coptic Orthodox Church, that claimed to be traditional, solid and timeless, it was the only community he loved and belonged. Caro moved to Algeria where he spent his late childhood home-schooled, away from church and friends. That time laid the foundation for a chosen personal relationship with God and Jesus Christ as a personal redeemer. Jesus Christ as Caro knew through the scripture was someone he could trust with his deepest heart-folds, desires and confusion. That time was a time of struggle as Caro didn't understand why he was treated differently from his brother, only to gradually understand that no one really could see him for who he was, and love him for who he is, other than his friend and companion, his refuge, Jesus Christ, who was enough.
Caro moved to Turtle Island (Canada) about fourteen years ago, lived in Tkaronto (Toronto) most of that time and met his wonderful wife and friend here in this city.
Caro knew Generous Space as New Direction Ministries back in 2008, as an ex-gay ministry. A few years ago Caro came to know that the ministry transformed to an affirming ministry. He rejoiced in God who turns the curse into a blessing and wanted to be part of that unique community. He started working with the ministry in 2018.
Caro believes he is a living testament to a living God, whose bias is love. A living God, who guides relentlessly, protects fiercely and waits patiently. Caro seeks a faith community that exists in relation and not in coincidence, that grows by and because of its differences, that is accountable not just to God above, but also to God within each and every living being. Caro is currently following his call to ministry by getting his Masters in Spiritual Psychotherapy.
To reach Caro by phone, please call 1-(855)-542-8724 ext. 704

Boxing is as American as apple pie, and so are budget cuts in public schools. Here Comes the Boom portrays a lethargic teacher's literal fight for the sake of keeping an essential music department at his high school. With a surprisingly humorous, feel-good, rock 'em sock 'em twist on the underdog boxing movie, we follow a teacher's meteoric rise through underground MMA fighting ranks.
After receiving the Teacher of the Year award early in his career, ten years later, Scott Voss (Kevin James) has shown a disinterest in instructing students with the same rigor and passion he once had, and the school administration knows it. When school funds run short, it is suggested that the music department will be closed, and effectively laying off the music teacher Marty (Henry Winkler), whose wife is now expecting. Scott vows to help cover the $48,000 short fall to keep Marty's job and begins to teach a citizenship class. When one of his students, a former mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, he finds a new way to earn the money.
Scott finally begins to embrace his old teaching style, relaying his passion to his pupils. He stands on his desk and even begins to stand and walk on his own students' desks to command their attention. This is an iconic reversal of Dead Poets Society, where students stood on their own desks as a statement and rebellion against the school at large. Here, Scott is rebelling against mediocrity, it is just a shame that he finally returns to this teaching method only after many rounds of beatings and the threat of his peer losing his job.
Every year there is a minimum of one boxing related film; it is an assured American event, usually released in time for the fall and ready for home video release by the holidays. However, there have been films that tend to slightly divert from boxing, but maintain the same expected structure (Real Steel, The Wrestler). It is a film category that typical places an underdog against the best, often uniting a lone man with a community and perhaps a love interest. Here Comes the Boom tends to enjoy the same progression as most of these films, and even takes lovingly from Rocky.
MMA is a brutal sport with blood, broken bones, unchecked aggression, and has given both boxing and "professional" wrestling a run for its money in the past decade. In a real MMA fight, dry blood has almost always stained the mat from previous fights. Yet, Here Comes the Boom happens to show much more tamed consequences, of course to obtain a mild PG rating, allowing families to enjoy a film that licenses brutality in the name of education.
Here Comes the Boom lands about a year after Wisconsin teachers lost their collective bargaining rights, and within an ear-shot of the recent Chicago teachers strike. The film portrays the common reaction during budget cuts: target music and the humanities. Yet, art and humanities education supports core classes, providing students with a canvas to see how math, sciences, social studies, and the language arts can be applied elsewhere.
There have been several fictional and non-fiction depictions of the shortfalls in American public school systems in recent years, as well as within the past several months. But the thematic attention is rather broad. Wont' Back Down, also out in theaters, also portrays an collaborative effort to make systematic changes. The Lottery and Detachment expose an indifference in both teachers and students, often times broken down by a greater system. Here Comes the Boom, while certainly championing passionate instruction, considers the monetary pressures that are almost always passed down onto the shoulders of the students and teachers.
What separates the film from other boxing films or the like is that is satisfyingly humorous, and does not tend to rely on scatological or predictable gags. Instead, the film melds both charm, inspiration and passion. However, there really could have been a really beautiful film here. Scott adores Marty's musical instruction and dedication to his students, even if Scott seems to have lost it for his biology classes. MMA fighting itself is like a composition; it requires pace, rhythm, and improvisation. Consistent practice and precise instruction can allow for beautiful concert, whether is a concert of music or a concert of martial arts.
Budget cuts are as inevitable as taxes and death, especially in troubling times. Cuts in education and other public services tend to be the most heart breaking. Public service workers, teachers, police officers, and firefights are the backbone to our communities. With the right equipment and communal support, they tend to be invincible. Without livable wages and the support, they are the first to be marginalized. States and school districts focus more on testing and sacrificing the extracurricular activities.
General audiences will find Here Comes the Boom to be a lovely event. It is unfortunate how the humility of saving music education is over-shadowed by the brutality of cheering on a teacher's MMA fighting side gig. Then again, the underdog story is what families want, and it is what they get. A few scenes have some lovingly physical gags that are not pushed too far or even all that predictable. In the end, the film fills the void for what it is attempting to do; it is entertaining, heart-felt, and passionate.

What debts are not discharged in bankruptcy?
UPDATED: June 19, 2018
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
Non-dischargeable debts are debts that must be repaid even if the debtor files for bankruptcy. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy law, the assets that you have which are not considered exempt are sold and the proceeds from those sales, as well as any cash or savings accounts that are part of the bankruptcy estate will be used to repay your creditors. At the end of this repayment period, there are usually some debts on which you still owe a balance. If those debts are dischargeable, then that balance is "discharged" or forgiven. If the debts are not dischargeable, you will continue to owe a balance at the end of the bankruptcy on the non-dischargeable or "unwashed" debts.
How Bankruptcy Courts Determine which Debts Are Dischargeable
Congress has determined that the following types of debt are not dischargeable in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for public policy reasons:
- Taxes (subject to specific rules), government fines, penalties
- Spousal support (alimony)
- Child support
- All student loans
- Secured debts
- Personal injury damages arising from driving while drunk
- Debts from fraud, larceny, embezzlement
- Punitive damage claims for "willful and malicious" acts (such as assault or libel)
- Debts not listed on your bankruptcy papers (this depends on the law in the federal circuit court jurisdiction)
- Debts for last-minute purchases of luxury goods or services and cash advances placed on a credit card just before bankruptcy
- Another class of debts or claims called "liens" that are backed by property.
These debts are generally considered not dischargeable because of public policy reasons (bankruptcy should not allow a debtor to avoid paying for his child's upbringing or for the consequences of his drunk driving mistake) or because of the nature of the debt. Taxes and student loan debts, for example, are given special protection. After the Chapter 7 bankruptcy case has concluded, the bankruptcy filer must still pay these debts.
Getting Help with Bankruptcy
Filing bankruptcy can be a complex process. It is in your best interests to consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney for help and advice as early as you can during the bankruptcy process to ensure your rights are protected.

Vietnamese central bank wants foreign exchange reports
The State Bank is requesting the information so that the institution can begin drafting a monetary policy for the latter months of the year.
Lenders were also told to draw up plans concerning how they will use their foreign currency reserves to pay debt during this year's final quarter and next year's first quarter.
The report must be completed and delivered to the State Bank Friday next week.
By the end of September, total outstanding loans in foreign currencies at banks in HCM City were VND186.1 trillion (US$9.5 billion), up 36 percent against the same period last year.
The US dollar credit growth during September increased by 6.1 percent against August, while the month-on-month dollar credit growth in August was up just 1 per- cent against July.
In an unusual move, loans in foreign currencies exceeded mobilised capital. Financial experts explained that banks had a surplus of US dollars that they received from mother companies or foreign credit institutions.
This is the second time the central bank has asked for such reports. In May, commercial banks and financial companies were ordered to provide a detailed report about their foreign exchange operations to help reduce the country's trade deficit and improve Viet Nam's payment balance.

The need to increase data-rate capabilities of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) has prompted NASA to investigate bandwidth-efficient modulation schemes. Based upon current technology the most promising scheme is Trellis-Coded Modulation (TCM) operating with Octal Phase Shift Keying (8 PSK). In conjunction with NASA, New Mexico State University's Manuel Lujan Jr. Center for Space Telemetering and Telecommunications Systems has constructed a system to test this new candidate TDRSS modulation scheme, TCM 8 PSK. This system was tested through the TDRSS channel to demonstrate that this coding scheme operates as well over the actual channel as it has in lab experiments and simulations. Two interchangeable codecs, implementing separate TCM techniques, were tested. The results of this experiment and subsequent data analysis are presented in this paper.

Barack Obama's Cabinet Choices Could Insult Women
If the following widely circulated flow chart (posted by my colleague Paul Bedard and making its way around Washington at gigabyte speed) is anything close to true, many women who voted for Barack Obama as president are destined for disappointment. The chart indicates that there are two female top choices for Obama cabinet positions: Penny Pritzker at Commerce and Janet Napolitano at Justice. Neither position would indicate progress for women, as there have been women in both posts in the past. IMHO,, Obama owes it to women and women of color, whose votes he secured in historic proportions, to put them in cabinet posts they've not yet held, such as Treasury and Defense.
If, and again it's a big if, this flow chart of unknown origins does reflect the Obama plan, women ought to be taking to the streets in fury. George W. Bush, no friend of women, according to most progressive women, has had seven women serving for part or all of his second term as president. They were:
Ann Veneman as secretary of agriculture until 2005, Gale Norton as secretary of the interior until 2006, Elaine Chao as secretary of labor for both terms, Margaret Spellings as secretary of education from 2005 until today, Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state from 2005 until today (before that she served as his national security adviser), Mary Peters as secretary of transportation from 2006 until now, and Susan Schwab as U.S. trade representative from 2006 until now.
Politico.com has an article saying President-elect Obama faces less pressure to put together a diverse cabinet because, as the first African-American president, he's already breaking an incredible barrier.
First, I beg to differ. But second, this sounds to me troublingly similar to something I heard from an Obama campaign higher-up when his vice presidential selection process was underway. I was told Obama's pollsters were advising him not to consider a woman as his veep and to stick with "vanilla," to wit, white men. That is exactly what he ended up doing--considering three white men and choosing one of them.
Obama's already apologized, as I've noted before, for calling a campaign reporter, "sweetie." His career-oriented wife has entitled herself, "Mom-in-Chief" while she's first lady. His top campaign brass were all white men. His first cabinet selection, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, is, of course, a white man. I'm not liking what I'm seeing. And if it continues, I hope that low rumble I hear coming in my direction is the sound of a burgeoning revolution.

The cost of a water or legionella risk assessment is entirely dependent on the amount of water services in and the size of the property.
Typical costs range from £200.00 for a small dental or GP practice to £500.00 for a medium sized care home. Our assessors undertake regular assessments of all types of buildings and water systems including offices, manufacturing sites, warehouses and public buildings.

Hey Friends!
Today I'm sharing my Sweet + Tangy Red Pepper Chicken, prepared in the CrockPot. This recipe is such a great combination of flavors- sweet red pepper, tangy pepperoncini & mild spice come together for a fall apart, melt in your mouth chicken that can be served in a variety of ways! This chicken is great in a taco, or served over rice, mashed potatoes (my favorite!), or steamed veggies. It can be rolled up into enchiladas, added into a quesadilla, or served on top of a salad. The best part about this recipe is that the sauce is made from pantry ingredients- meaning you literally dump + go! Minimal prep required, perfect for busy days when you need a meal on the table at the end of the night.
CrockPot Tangy Red Pepper Chicken- [Serves 4-6]
Prep Time: 10 Minutes/ Cook Time: 5-6 Hours/ Total Time: 5-6hrs + 10mins
3-4 Large Boneless + Skinless Chicken Breasts (thawed)
1/2 12oz. Jar of Trader Joe's brand "Red Pepper Spread w/ eggplant & garlic"
1/2 16oz. Jar of Pace brand "Picante Sauce Medium"
1/2 16oz. Jar of Mezzetta brand "Deli Sliced Golden Greek Peperoncini"- JUICE ONLY
Salt + Pepper
(Reference photos below for images of all jarred products used)
- Set CrockPot to HIGH.
- Season both sides of all chicken breasts with salt + pepper and place in CrockPot.
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together Red Pepper Spread, Picante Sauce, and the JUICE ONLY from Peperoncini's.
- Pour mixture into the CrockPot, covering all the chicken.
- Cover + cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours (or on LOW for 8-9 hours if preferred).
- When cooking time is complete, gently break apart or shred the chicken to desired texture + serve! (The chicken should fall apart very easily! This is how you'll know it is cooked thoroughly.)
Here is a shot of how I served my chicken!
Here are a few quick tips when making this recipe:
-This recipe EASILY doubles! If you reference the recipe above, you will note only 1/2 a jar of each jarred item was used. Just double the number of chicken breasts and then use the full jars of each product above to make the sauce. This is great for a potluck event, or to have ready made chicken on hand for a week of meals!
-If you like more heat + spicy flavor, add the peperoncini peppers in the mix in addition to the juice from the jar. The peppers will cook down as the chicken cooks, and break up very easily when you shred the meat. This is why I recommend using the "Deli Sliced" peppers- they have no seeds or stems to deal with if you do decide to add them in. It's delicious!
-If you do not have a Trader Joe's grocery store available to you, a great substitute for the prepared "Red Pepper Spread" is to chop up one large size (two if you double the recipe) red bell pepper, and toss it in your blender with a few tablespoons of water. Blend this until it becomes a smooth puree, then mix it in with the other ingredients as directed above.

This recipe is great for so many meal ideas, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I'd love to hear how you serve yours, let's chat in the comments below!
Big Hugs,
