Libya, A Love Lived, A Life Betrayed
It is a real love story that spans multiple decades and several continents.
The genesis of the 320 page memoir was one blog post that Susan write after the death of her beloved husband.
With a twelve hour period that blog post had received in excess of 6,000 hits.
Many of the readers of the blog post pleaded with Susan to expand on the post to tell the story behind it.
And in 2014 Susan began to write the entire story.
Susan had chosen her spouse well, Bashir was a career diplomat i the Libyan Civil Service, who was a very enlightened and forward-thinking man.
They were there for each other, through thick and thin, living through the dangerous time of the Libyan Gaddafi regime, of dangers and traumas, of horrifying experiences brought about by Gaddafi and his government, the bombings by NATO armies including the USA.
There were also coups and a revolution and a blasphemy case, too.
But Susan does not want her readers to think that it was all bad. For Susan and her husband Bashir also enjoyed good times and good years together.
Unfortunately, Bashir fell ill and his family, who hated her and who tried to steal his lands during his illness, attempted to, unsuccessfully, destroy their relationship.
After his death Sharia law would only allow her to take one quarter of his property, the three quarters going to his siblings.
It is a truly gripping memoir and will be a wonderful Christmas gift for those people in your life who are interested in the stories of real people and the personal stories behind recent history.
It is published in paperback by Matador at £8.99 and is available from the That's Books and Entertainment book shop, the link to which is here:- https://goo.gl/nYxiYk.

Things can get hazy when you're driving under the influence. Dulled senses are further confused with nervousness, impaired vision, and the constant paranoia that something is going to go wrong.
Take Nicole Scott, for instance. She was driving home, focusing on the road, when she thought she saw police lights behind her. Crap. So she pulled over to the side of the road.
Two problems here: First, the lights she saw were not from a police car but from the flashing lights of the Skate World sign on the street. Second, when she pulled her car over, she got the Dodge Avenger stuck in a snow bank.
The Sandusky Register has further hilarious details on Scott's misadventure.
A passerby stopped to see if the woman needed help and called police after noticing she seemed intoxicated, according to a Perkins Township police report.
When officers did arrive, they found Nicole Scott, 27, of the 1100 block McKinley St., sitting alone in her car.
She denied being the driver of the vehicle and said her friend Ray had been driving, but he ran off.
Scott refused a sobriety test because she insisted she was not the driver. She proceeded to tell police her friend Samantha had been driving, and later that her friend Courtney had been driving. Finally she said her friend Brittany had been driving, according to police.
Coppers found a bottle of Michelob Ultra in the car and noticed there were only one set of footprints in the snow around the vehicle, so she was promptly arrested on suspicion of DUI.

Recent events at the Guardian have called into question the protection of free press in the UK. DW spoke to Richard Keeble, acting head of the Lincoln School of Journalism, about the power of the "secret state."
DW: The partner of Glen Greenwald, the Guardian journalist who has written stories based on data leaked from the US National Security Agency, was detained for nine hours at London's Heathrow Airport this week, and the Guardian's editor claimed British authorities also forced the destruction of its hard drives containing the leaked information. The Guardian is the only paper in the mainstream British media to have published the leaked information, and it appears it doesn't have much support from other UK papers. What has the reaction been from Fleet Street, the traditional home of the British national press?
Richard Keeble: It's not as if Fleet Street as a collective is screaming in outrage at what's going on. Equally, I think the support of British papers for Bradley Manning, the Wikileaks leaker, was also very muted. What I can say, however, is that I've seen the BBC's coverage, and to their credit, they have given the affair due prominence. Though due to obvious legal reasons they can't speak out.
It is very much a legal issue. If the Guardian hadn't complied with Downing Street's requests, they would have been prosecuted. What kind of power does the government have - could they shut the paper down?
I would put my mortgage on the government not closing down the Guardian. British political media life doesn't operate like that at all. But there are clear pressures on the media to conform. I think they will continue because if this gets out of hand, then the government and authorities will be concerned. And what they're saying in all this is that there are consequences - particularly for those who are doing the leaking: Snowden is somewhere holed up in Russia. We know how Bradley Manning was tortured as he was being held before his secret trial. They're not going to close the Guardian down, for sure, but they will be telling mainstream journalists, "Be careful: If you're doing things we're not happy with, then beware of the consequences."
How powerful is the intelligence apparatus in Britain?
The secret state is incomprehensibly vast. It's not just intelligence - it's secret armies, it's police forces. And it is penetrating - obviously through the internet - into the very most intimate parts of our everyday lives. The expenditure on it globally is likewise vast. And what that means is that whilst it has vast powers, it is getting out of control. And so whistleblowers like Wikileaks and Snowden are actually exposing the contradiction that as it grows, there will be increasing critique from within because actually what these people are doing is showing that the rulers of our societies are committing offences, including international war crimes. That's the essential point. And they don't like that. So I think there's going to be a danger of more and more Snowdens and Bradley Mannings; the system is unraveling.
Do you think mainstream media outlets like the Guardian, for example, can keep the government in check?
No. Not at all. The intelligence apparatus is vast, and the mainstream media in general are far too closely integrated with the secret state. I don't think they even want to pose a threat to it. I don't think the Guardian is out there to actually challenge the secret state. They want to use Snowden as a terrific news source. But I don't think they want to smash the secret state. That's not the role of the mainstream press. It's too closely integrated with dominant powers and institutions to ever do that.
What I found interesting was the way in which - even the Guardian - covered the recent "confession" by Bradley Manning at his trial. Because it seemed to me that when Manning said things like "I'm terribly sorry to have hurt the United States." Or: "How dare I, as a very small, insignificant man, expect to be able to change the world for the better?" I didn't believe that that came from Bradley Manning. My sense was that he was pressurized to say that. At least you would have thought journalists would have raised these questions. But the Guardian and the Independent, which in theory could have been the most critical of that whole secret trial, just reported it straight. And I was very surprised at that.
EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Redding has said that she "shares concerns" over press freedom in the UK. Professor Keeble, as an instructor of journalism in Britain, how concerned are you at the moment?
Well I'm very concerned because I see this as being an actual significant trend in both America and Britain. In America, there are - I think - seven cases of whistleblowers who have been actually charged under the Felony Act, and people have been threatened with jail. We know that the government now wants people to as it were snitch on colleagues if they think that they are potential leakers. There's all manner of threats now and pressures on potential whistleblowers. And, after all, until the late 1980s in Britain, there was the defense of the public interest.
Now, you would have thought that when people reveal illegal activity by the state, there should be a public interest defense. This is clearly what the Guardian is claiming. And that, in any civilized society, is what there should be: the protection of whistleblowers. Because how are we going to get to know about the reality of the secret state? Through whistleblowers.
And there are two kinds of whistleblowers: There are those who appear everyday in our newspapers, who are, if you like, acceptable whistleblowers. So the kind of information they're giving us is, in some way, in the interest of the secret state. But there are the other whistleblowers who reveal things that the state doesn't want us to know about. And they are being really harassed now. And I am, as a professor and as a citizen, extremely concerned.
Washington has distanced itself from the forced destruction of hard drives at the Guardian newspaper by Downing Street. In Great Britain, journalists often face weaker free press protections on national security issues. (21.08.2013)
Germany's chief human rights official has criticized a British demand that a British newspaper destroy material leaked by US whistlebower Edward Snowden. Russia also expressed condemnation for the move. (21.08.2013)

Our dynamic program is centered around our exceptional, professional dance instruction, "choice" and a variety of camp activities including art and crafts, waterfront, sports, campfires, trips, co-ed socials and many other activities.
Campers design their own schedules and they can choose to take from two to six hours of dance classes daily. Dance instruction is offered in Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballet, Tap and EnChoreo—our camper directed choreography experience. (See the Dance Program section.) All classes are small and campers are separated into ability levels to provide the most effective and personalized instruction.
Girls may also choose from many other activities including tennis, fitness, photography, painting, ceramics, crafts, (Intensive and recreational instruction in tennis is offered daily) and numerous water sports (swimming, waterskiing, windsurfing, sailing, canoeing/kayaking and more). Land sports (such as golf, lacrosse, basketball and soccer) are also available for those girls interested, with expert coaches from Brant Lake Camp for Boys.
Every day, each girl determines her own schedule. This must include a total of at least five activities a day with a minimum of two dance classes a day. The more serious dancers may take as many as six dance classes a day. (See Typical Day for a more detailed discussion.)
Evening activities vary daily and the girls have a number of fun and unique opportunities. All evenings are carefully tailored to the girls' interests, with sensitivity towards their maturity levels. Talent shows, special games or events, co-ed activities, campfires, evenings out of camp and more are nice fun ways to end the active day. Weekly Trips are built into the schedule, including one to see the NYC Ballet at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Six Flags Great Escape among others designed to enhance the Adirondack summer experience.
To help ensure that the summer meets every camper's expectations, each girl is asked to set her own goals for her stay at camp. The directors help guide each girl to establish and achieve these goals as needed. Brant Lake's experienced and mature staff members also provide guidance and support to help ensure a safe, healthy, rewarding and memorable summer.

Saying Hello to Paris
Confession: I haven't been to Paris yet. Let's pause for a moment so you can all let out a collective shocked gasp. "No. Wait. What? Really?" you say.
Yes, it's true. I hang my head in shame. Me, a so-called "woman of the world," a travel blogger who's traversed various parts of the globe has never been to Paris.
Technically, I've been to Paris but never really saw Paris. I've flown through the city a handful of times, excitedly glimpsed the Eiffel Tower from my window seat on the plane, but never once ventured outside of the airport. The last time I was at Charles de Gaulle, I settled for a morning cup of coffee and the most delicious of macaroons. This is as close to Paris as I've ever gotten.
But now, I'm finally heading to Paris in early June, as wanderlust calls for an escape from Berlin. I plan to walk through the city, drink copious amounts of French wine, do a street art tour, and hunt down some weird and offbeat experiences.
Overall, I'm excited about the trip but wonder if Paris will live up to all its hype? Lots of people told me that I'd love Barcelona and Milan, but neither city was for me. Getting robbed, waiting in endless queues, and paying obscene prices to see various attractions annoyed me.
Will Paris be the same?
Saying Hello to Paris
Why haven't I ever visited Paris, the city of both love and light?
1) There Have Always Been Other Places
First off, I've never really felt that interested in visiting Paris. There were always other places that I wanted to go. Besides, I figured I'd get to Paris eventually, so no rush was needed.
Maybe it was the fact that I fell so in love with Italy, the first European country that I ever visited. My addictive personality brought me back time and time again. Can you blame me? Ancient architecture so beautiful that it doesn't seem real, tomatoes so fresh that you weep, hot men (!) offering torrid love affairs, tiny villages where old women mop the cobblestoned streets each day, children heading to school dressed in smocks … I could write a novel about how much I adore Italy.
Later on, I discovered Eastern Europe, places that generally don't draw in as many tourists. Krakow, Riga, Sofia, and of course, my all time favourite Budapest. That's another city I can't get enough of, and I find myself returning there at least once or twice a year. Then I got a taste of the Balkans, both Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Paris kept getting lower and lower on my bucket list.
The more I've travelled, the more I've come to like places that are more off the beaten path and less flooded with tourists. I especially enjoy visiting these places in winter, when there are even fewer people.
I'll be saying hello to Paris during peak tourist season and on the exact same weekend that Eurocup opens, which France is hosting (which I did not realize until after I'd booked my flights). The city will be teaming with even more people than usual.
2) All the Hype Makes Me Weary
What else has caused me not to visit Paris? Everyone keeps telling me that I have to visit Paris and that I'm going to love it. I'm sure they're right, but when somebody tells me that I must go somewhere, a rather childish part of me rebels and wants to hang out somewhere else, anywhere else.
I've watched movies like Paris Je T'aime and felt a little lovestruck. For years now, the hype has been building, and I'm afraid that it may not meet my expectations. Not that I expect to be hit with a sudden bout of Paris syndrome (this is a scientifically documented phenomenon), but I don't want to arrive there and be disappointed that my dreams about the city will not match the reality.
3) Waiting for That Special Someone
Lastly, I've never wanted to visit Paris alone. It's a cringeworthy admission, if there ever was one, but one that's unfortunately true — it's a city that I always thought I'd visit with a boyfriend.
Although, I've had some significant relationships over the course of my life, for some reason, a trip to Paris with a boyfriend never happened, even though I've had these lifelong (very romanticized) dreams of having a French breakfast in bed, walking through the streets hand in hand, taking a picnic along the Seine …
I know it sounds bad coming from me as I've travelled the world alone and even encouraged women to take trips on their own to romantic European destinations. To date, I've never once hesitated in my desire to travel solo — I hiked the Inca Trail alone, spent a day in Tijuana fending off marriage proposals, toured around Italy for a month, and more.
Naturally, I'll continue to keep up my solo travel, but Paris is a city that oozes romance, history, and beauty and almost demands that your time there be shared with someone. Sure, I could jump on Tinder and meet a local when I'm there, but it wouldn't be the same and would feel like a forced, cheap experience.
Will I feel sad when I walk along the streets by myself, singing that cheesy Celine Dion song in my head? Perhaps I can make something fun of it and film a video, like this guy when he was waiting at the airport?
As I'm staying at a hostel, perhaps I'll make some friends and have even more fun than I think I will. It'd be cool to watch one of the Eurocup games with a rowdy bunch of drunken soccer fans.
I thought about all of these things when I booked my flight. I hope all my doubts and fears are for naught and I'll come to love the city as so many others do.
If you have any advice or tips for a first timer saying hello to Paris, leave a comment!

Multivitamins and supplements are a billion-dollar industry. In 2015, the market for dietary supplement capsules was valued at more than USD $26 billion. But are these supplements worth the price?
An estimated 40% of Americans take a daily multivitamin, and a solid majority are seniors. With all the hype surrounding the benefits of dietary supplements, for many the perceived benefit often outweighs the actual advantage. Below is a list of the potential good – and not so good – effects of the top five most common supplements:
FISH OIL – (omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA) – Taken for their anti-inflammatory effects.
Dietary Sources: Salmon, mackerel, sardines
Effective or Likely Effective Use: Reduce high triglycerides, heart disease
Cautions: belching, bad breath, heartburn, nausea, loose stools, nosebleeds.
MULTIVITAMIN – (choose a formula recommended for your age and gender)
Dietary Sources: fruit, vegetables, grains, dairy, meat
Effective or Likely Effective Use: Fill in daily dietary gaps of nutrients.
Cautions: Keep out of reach of children. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any prescription medications.
CALCIUM – (calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium lactate) – Taken to build strong bones.
Dietary Sources: low-fat dairy products, fortified foods, dark leafy greens, soybeans, beans, fish, raisins.
Effective or Likely Effective Use: Reduce osteoporosis risk, reduce diabetes risk, reduce cancer risk.
Cautions: Can interfere with the absorption of other supplements and medications, including iron.
VITAMIN D – (cholecalciferol D3) – Taken to help absorb calcium
Dietary Sources: fortified milk, cereals, sardines, tuna. Sun exposure.
Effective or Likely Effective Use: Treat rickets, conditions that cause weak and painful bones, low levels of phosphate in the blood, low blood calcium and bone loss, prevention of falls and fractures in older people.
Cautions: Since vitamin D can increase calcium levels, too much vitamin D can lead to worsening of conditions where increased calcium is not desired, such as kidney disease, atherosclerosis, sarcoidosis, hyperparathyroidism, lymphoma.
COENZYME Q-10 – (ubiquinone) – Taken for its antioxidant effects.
Dietary Sources: Found in small amounts in meat and seafood.
Effective or Likely effective Use: Treat mitochondrial disorders; controversial research that it can improve congestive heart failure in combination with other medications.
Cautions: Mild side effects: loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rash, lower blood pressure.
Remember, supplements are not intended to treat, cure or prevent any disease. In fact, it is very important to discuss all supplement use with your doctor or pharmacist, since:
• Supplements have the potential to reduce the effectiveness of some medications, and
• Supplements have the potential to increase the toxicity of other medications.
Discussing supplements with your health care provider is also a great way to uncover health problems that might otherwise have been left unaddressed; for example, asking your doctor about a supplement to alleviate one problem may uncover the true source of the ailment instead of treating just the symptom.
Before considering adding any supplement to your daily health regime, be sure you are doing all you can to live a long and healthy life. This includes eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, maintaining a social network and, of course, following the recommendations of your health care professionals.

When Crawfordsville won the state's Stellar Cities designation a couple years ago, the project was based around a building called Fusion 54, which would bring together many economic development entities in the city and county.
But when that project went out for bid, the price came back at least 50 percent too high. So what will that mean for the rest of the city's plans?
We put that question to Todd Barton this week on Ask The Mayor.
The mayor is also getting close to cracking down on owners of rental properties who aren't following various rules.
But if the city wishes to go after some of these people, it may require expensive legal battles.
We ask the mayor if such tussles could bring in enough cash to justify their cost.

The Lake Placid Central School District Board of Education presented its budget proposal during a well attended public meeting Tuesday, but agreed to review public comments before voting on the budget.
The proposed 2011 budget totals $16.57 million dollars, an increase of 5.3 percent from last year. The district's tax levy will rise more than four percent - an amount that would be even higher when adjusted for declines in the district's real estate assessments of about $100 million.
Board members said they faced some hard choices this year, with state aid reductions and rising entitlement and energy costs.
In the proposed budget, some staff members would be cut, including a special education teacher, a teacher's assistant, and a retiring home economics teacher would not be replaced.
These savings were offset by other increasing costs, including the cost of fuel oil and heating oil. The assistant principal will also be retained at an additional cost of $7,000 and a part-time librarian will be added at a cost of $30,000.
But these adjustments don't include the district's biggest cost increases; namely, health care and retirement benefit costs.
Teacher's salary increases take their toll as well. The teacher's union last year conceded to a 2 percent raise instead of their customary 4 percent increase. That saved the district more than $200,000. The school board would not comment on the likelihood of teacher's pay concessions this year, saying only that negotiations were under way.
All told, the budget increased by more than $572,000.
That's a big concern, according to Superintendent Randy Richards.
"We're delaying our tough decisions for another year," he said.
Several members of the public echoed the superintendents concerns about the long-term viability of the school's financial trajectory.
Lake Placid resident Jeff Erenstone said keeping the core teaching staff is a good idea, but insisted that tax increases were a "band-aid" rather than a permanent fix. He advocated for more administrative cost sharing and a hiring freeze on new staff.
Eugene Byrne, a local physician, emphasized the importance of keeping science and math teachers. He also said his son's school bus has only about 5 children on it.
"It's nice that it comes to everyone's house like a limousine service, but couldn't kids meet at a bus stop," Byrne asked? "I'm sure there's a way to save more money on transportation," he added.
A village resident named Dan Leff called the budget a deferment of tough choices. He spoke about the need for "game changing strategies" and offered to participate in a strategic committee that would craft long-range planning and problem solving for the school.
During the meeting, Richards ruled out the idea of sharing services with the other Tri-Lakes school districts for the time being.
School officials floated the idea of sharing services, like summer school and administrative staff, earlier this spring, but Richards cited logistical and contract issues that would delay the effort.
Richards said cost savings would need to be found elsewhere and appealed to the board to consider the implications of continued rising costs.
He said if the school was going to continue increasing spending every year, it would need to start thinking of creative ways to increase its student enrollment.

It was about to become maybe the worst loss of the season. Among the top three for sure, according to the manager.
Another disappointing night for Jeremy Hellickson.
Another big lead gone.
Another shot at reaching .500 squandered.
Then Evan Longoria put a charge into a slider from Huston Street and boom, two-out, two-run homer. Walk-off win. Bring on Kenny Loggins and his band.
"I'm all right …"
The Rays rallied for an 8-7 victory against the San Diego Padres in front of 18,587 fans at Tropicana Field on the first Saturday concert night of the season.
It was Longoria's team-record fifth walk-off home run of his career — his team-record seventh walk-off hit — and it extended the Rays' winning streak to four, matching their longest of the season.
It also evened their season record at 18-18, the first time they've been at .500 since they were 3-3 on April 7.
"It doesn't get any better than that, than being able to be in that moment and come through," Longoria said. "So it feels good."
Longoria got to that moment because Ben Zobrist worked a two-out walk, tipping a pitch in and out of the mitt of Padres catcher Nick Hundley that would have been the final strike of the night before laying off balls three and four.
"Just trying to find a way to battle to get a way on base and get to Longo next, because obviously he's been swinging it well," Zobrist said. "And in that situation, we've got to like our chances with our best hitter at the plate."
Rays manager Joe Maddon called Zobrist's at-bat the biggest of the game.
"Zo understands the importance of not making an out. He gets it," Maddon said. "It's not about getting hits all the time. Some guys are so hung up on getting hits that they cannot see the forest for the walk. You got to just take it sometimes."
Zobrist's walk was the second-to-last turning point in a game that had a few.
Chase Headley hit a two-run homer off Hellickson in the first inning to give the Padres the quick lead.
Padres starter Burch Smith, making his major-league debut, retired the Rays in order in the first inning, then didn't retire any of the seven batters he faced in the second.
Longoria started the inning with a walk and James Loney nearly reached the wall behind the right-field stands with his second home run of the season.
Yunel Escobar's bases-loaded single made it 4-2 Rays, and the lead was extended to 6-2 on an RBI double by Matt Joyce and a sacrifice fly by Kelly Johnson.
Hellickson began a streak of 16 straight outs with the final out of the first inning.
Carlos Quentin ended that run with a leadoff walk to start the seventh. The Padres then loaded the bases on a pair of singles.
Jesus Guzman was sent up to pinch hit with two out. He worked the count full, then drove a change-up from Hellickson into the left-field stands for the first grand slam of his career.
That made it 6-6.
"Guzman, (Hellickson) should have been able to do something right there," Maddon said. "I felt very strongly about that. Not lukewarm, not mediocre, not tepid, but very strongly about it."
The Padres added the go-ahead run that inning when Jamey Wright walked a batter with the bases loaded. But Cesar Ramos retired all seven batters he faced to set up Longoria's big moment.
"I'm very happy we won the game," Hellickson said. "At the same time, I'm very disappointed with myself. It's been three, four games in a row now I've done the same thing. I'm happy the guys came back and picked me up."
Maddon would have preferred a less-dramatic win.
"To be able to come back is outstanding. It's wonderful," Maddon said. "It's part of the game, but I'd rather be good than lucky. That's not going to happen very often. That is the anomaly what happened right there.
"We're fortunate Longo was in the right spot. We're fortunate that Zo gets it as a hitter. ... You get leads, you got to put the other team away. That is inappropriate. That's got to stop."

When I was a university student I was price conscious about everything I did, from entertainment to food to (obviously) my textbooks. This is one of the great constants, we know that price is the number one most important issue for students when buying their textbooks.
If you want to ensure you are paying the lowest possible amount for your textbooks you need to decide if you plan on keeping that textbook. If the book is in one of your core subjects and doesn't change a huge amount from year to year you might want to keep the book to reference once you get into the job market (ie: Statistics or Calculus) but if it's for an elective you are probably going to sell it at at the end of the semester. Once you decide this you can chose what your options are and students essentially have three options:
- Buy their book and keep it for reference
- Buy their book and sell it at the end of the semester
- Rent their book
Buying the book and keeping it is easy, search BookFinder.com and pick the lowest price. Follow these tips and you are golden.
If you are not keeping the book you need to consider the total cost of buying and selling your textbook and compare that final price to the rental cost. Because really a rental book is just the same as one that you bought and sold, the rental company just wraps the whole final cost into one transaction for you.
For example lets look at Chemistry: The Central Science by Bruce Bursten.
Today I could buy this book used from Alibris for $72.00 or New from AbeBooks for $75.47 or to rent the book for a semester it would cost $75.33. So even with just this information, you would buy.
Now if you include the buyback price for this book (AbeBooks will give $80.25), you find that buying the book you MAKE $4.78 and if you rent it will COST you $75.33.
This is a fairly extreme example, and the buyback price will probably shift between now and the end of the semester but it shows that you have to compare apples to apples when looking at textbook rental. And even if the buyback price goes down by $20 you are still saving.
This is NOT to say that rentals are bad, there are many instances that a textbook rental will save you money and is a great option but if you want to save the money you have to do the math.

Just curious – occasionally I create a yearly calendar on Google and fill it up with events that I consider "Must Attend", "May Attend", "Not Attending – Informational For Those that Ask". I think this a very common labeling for events.
Let's say I have that calendar on Google Calendar set up for the year, and on intermittent 2nd Wednesdays of the month (say maybe 2 in June, 1 in August) I have a "Must Attend" event. I want to now schedule another "Must Attend" event on EVERY Wednesday, but give the previous Must Attend Event higher priority (e.g. I guess the new event is not really then a "must attend" event, maybe it becomes a "mostly attend" event lol).
Is there a way to automatically schedule the new "mostly attend" event WITHOUT having to manually check my whole calendar for clashes ?
Microsoft Outlook works for that, if you can afford it. It's about the easiest out there for most people.
on rainlendar pro, create the event on the Wednesday and switch to the recurrence tab in the event editor. There you have a choice to make the event recur every 2nd Wednesday of the month.
Google calender works for that.
perhaps Rainlendar can help?

Founded over 50 years ago, Gateway was one of the first schools of its kind and, today, is very proud of its history as a pioneer and leader in the field of special education.
In 1964, a prominent advocate for a child's right to an education, Martha Bernard, introduced an educator at Columbia University Teachers College to a mother who could not find a school that would accept her son. Building on principles elucidated from her study and her widely acclaimed demonstration classes at Teachers College, Elizabeth Freidus joined forces with Claire Flom to establish The Gateway School of New York. Their mission and vision were to teach bright children who had trouble learning how to learn, to educate their families and the professional community about the nature of learning disabilities, and to develop and disseminate effective instructional approaches and programs for students with special needs.
Over the years, Gateway has remained deliberately small, yet expanded and relocated in response to parents' demand for its reliably effective approach to equipping students for successful transitions to mainstream schooling. The highlights in Gateway's history are:
- In 1965, Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church becomes Gateway's original benefactor, agreeing to a minimal rent for generous space in which the school thrived for 36 years.
- In the mid-1970s, Gateway is designated by the New York State Commissioner of Education as an "approved non-public school."
- In 1998, Gateway adds the Transition Program and extends its program through 6th Grade.
- Gateway relocates in 2001 to its first schoolhouse, an American Institute of Architects award-winning building at 236 Second Avenue, which it subsequently names The Evelyn McKenzie Building to commemorate a beloved teacher.
- In 2003, Gateway is the second independent special education school in New York City to be accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools.
- In 2008, Gateway opens a Middle School to serve students through 8th grade and moves to its current home at 211 West 61st Street.
- The Center for Educational Enrichment opens in 2009, introducing programming for Middle and High School students aimed at enhancing the motivation to learn by honing students' executive function skills and ability to collaborate as they pursue an interest or passion.
- Partnering with the Keshavlal V. Bodani Education Foundation in India, Gateway collaborates on the founding of Gateway Mumbai in 2010.
- In 2010, Gateway is the first independent school to receive the National Center for Learning Disabilities' Founder's Award for exceptional service to children and families.
Today, Gateway is a New York State Association of Independent Schools-accredited independent school and enrolls 180 boys and girls ages 5 to 14. In June 2014, the Board of Trustees adopted a strategic plan that will secure Gateway's position as one of the premier independent schools serving students with special needs.
- In response to the market's demand for more seats in schools for students with learning disabilities, Gateway will grow its enrollment to a total of 180 students.
- This growth will occur in the Lower School with the acceptance of one additional class of students annually. This slow and carefully orchestrated expansion will ensure Gateway continues to enroll only those students who will benefit most from its program.
- While proud of its long affiliation with the State of New York as a designated non-public school, Gateway will no longer accept new student referrals from the New York City Department of Education. It will continue to serve its current population of publicly funded students.
Coupled with the implementation of a new, comprehensive independent school curriculum designed to meet the learning needs of its entire student body, Gateway looks forward to developing its future generation of students into skilled, strategic learners ready to realize their potential in school and in life.

Big banks caught playing their customers for suckers to boost profits -- again
No wonder no one trusts the world's largest banks.
This week we're being treated to two more examples of how they've been abusing their own customers.
The first is the $450 million fine that Barclays paid for rigging benchmark interest rates to boost its profits.
Barclays, a big British bank that's aggressively expanding into the United States, has admitted to manipulating the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR.
It's used to determine the adjustable interest rates consumer and corporate borrowers pay on $10 trillion in mortgages, student loans and credit cards.
The LIBOR is updated daily based on information from a dozen big banks, including Barclays. It has now acknowledged that managers and traders prevailed on colleagues to falsify that data.
News reports say the bank was reporting higher interest rates than its competitors back in 2008 -- a sign that Barclays might be in financial trouble. So employees were instructed to reduce the rates they contributed to LIBOR.
Now British and American regulators are examining other banks to see if they have sought competitive advantages by manipulating the rates they reported to LIBOR.
Then there's a story in this morning's New York Times in which former brokers at JPMorgan Chase say they were told to push the bank's own mutual funds on clients, even when there were better, cheaper options.
"The benefit to JPMorgan is clear," the Times says. "The more money investors plow into the bank's funds, the more fees it collects for managing them."
As a result, the Times reports, JPMorgan Chase has seen its stock funds grow during a time investors have been pulling money out of stock funds.
The conflict of interest couldn't be more clear.
"I was selling JPMorgan funds that often had weak performance records, and I was doing it for no other reason than to enrich the firm," Geoffrey Tomes, who left JPMorgan last year and is now an adviser at Urso Investment Management, told the Times. "I couldn't call myself objective."
JPMorgan certainly isn't alone in offering self-serving advice that benefits the bank more than its customers.
Remember earlier this year when a departing executive director decried the "toxic" culture at Goldman Sachs that referred to clients as "muppets"?
I just don't understand why anyone would deal with banks that have no qualms about playing their customers for suckers.
All of this also shows why the millions of investors like you and me need these giant banks to be closely regulated and ardently prosecuted when they break the law.
Saving is hard enough, building financial security for our families is hard enough, without the banks tilting the playing field against us time and time again.

Light Micro Band - Orange
Micro Bands are essentially Power Bands which are smaller in diameter thickness. Because of their size, shape and resistance they are well-suited to rehabilitation, prehab and activation drills.
Prehab exercises like hands on the clock are an excellent way to warm up the whole shoulder musculature. Placing both hands through the Micro Band so it sits on the wrists, put both hands on the wall and point the fingers in different directions to one another, as the hands of the clock do to indicate the time.
Monster walks, where the band is looped around the ankles and you crab-walk sideways, are an excellent activation exercise for the gluteal muscles.
Finally, Micro Bands are an excellent way to teach formal cues, especially for an exercise like squatting. A common error when squatting is valgus collapse, or the knees coming together as the person descends. By looping a Micro Band around the legs just above the knees, it forces the squatter to keep the Band under tension by pushing the knees out forcing the correct muscle to fire.
Micro Bands are made using the same proprietary technology as Power Bands to ensure maximum durability and lifespan for each Band. Micro Bands are manufactured by laying the latex around and around allowing it to cure together it's a slower process, but ensures top quality.

About Diane
Diane Tesler began her painting career in Hawaii, drawn to the quality of the light and a compelling subject: the abandoned cars scattered around the island. These discoveries –- the power of light to reveal form and the beauty of the discarded –- have remained a constant in her work ever since.
After relocating to Virginia, Diane joined the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, where she is a painting instructor at the Art League School.
In late August of 1986, Diane accompanied a friend for a short painting trip to the Kewanna/Grass Creek area of northern Indiana. Within the space of several days, she fell in love with the open skies and austere beauty of the landscape. This, along with the abandoned houses found hidden in the fields of corn and soybeans, brought her back every summer to gather as much material as possible to tide her over for the rest of the year.
By 1991, ready to make a larger commitment, she purchased an old house in the town of Kewanna that she used as studio space. This made it possible to work for longer periods of time in the field and develop friendships with people in the area. Some of them found their way into her paintings.
Her love of old buildings led her to acquire the town's IOOF Lodge Hall in 1998 and the former Masonic Hall in 2008 for use as studio, classroom and exhibition space. During the month of August, two one-week painting workshops sponsored by the Art League are available for those artists who would like to work with Diane on location.
In 2012, after commuting back and forth from Virginia to Indiana for over 20 years, Diane pulled up stakes and moved to Kewanna full time, with the intention to live and work in the world she loves to paint.

When is your gallery open? I would like to come to your town and see your work. Thanks in advance
I can't remember how long Ive been going to Diane's galley to paint maybe 15 years or more. She is an excellent teacher and a wonderful good person. I will keep going to Kewanna to paint and learn as long as I am able! Her new site is very nice.
Hi, Diane! My brother just bought a house 2 years ago in Kewanna and is in the process of fixing it up. Last month my daughter and I were visiting him and he told us all about you. We LOVE that little town and love to walk around it. We peeked in the windows of your shop and saw your paintings. I love them!! You are very talented. My brother is also an artist. I hope someday to be able to meet you!! Cherie
Diane, We so enjoyed our visit to your "Lost and Found" art show 10/21/16. The commitment u have for your family community is extraordinary.
Your work is everything one would desire, in a painting. Look forward to your workshops next year. I am sure Avon Waters will be there too!
His sis/bro exhibited at the show.
please add me to your email list
I love your work

Mishawaka, IN
Charlene, I am a lifelong Mishawaka and I just did my first painting workshop with Diane. I'd be interested in knowing more about your connection …
I stumbled upon you and don't remember how, other than I am painting old abandoned houses and you also paint this subject so that is what caught my attention. Love your work and hearing about your life as an artist. I was lucky enough to visit the Torpedo Factory while vising family in VA what a great place. Back in early 90's I lived in Mt. Vernon In, near the Ky border and traveled the state by bus and loved the countryside. Best regards, feel a connection to you, although we have never met.
Dear Diane,
You have been running thru my mind off and on. So happy to find your website.
You have done so very well with your art, Diane. Terrific
Harvey and I are now in Honolulu…moved from Charlottesville, VA, 11/6/14. It is as beautiful as ever.
I am still painting and now not working, five or so days a week.
Would love to hear from you. I trust you remember me from so long ago.
You brought me another heart-smile when I found your Lucerne painting. I attended grade school to 7th grade there, in the old school from where both my older brother and father graduated.
I'm so happy to learn of Kewanna's good fortune. I'm a Hoosier country boy whose childhood doctor(that delivered me)lived above his office in downtown K.(Dr. Kelsey). I share your love of central Indiana's countryside and it's bird and bug songs.
I must make a point to revisit and meet you.
Thanks Garry,
Hope you'll come visit when you come back. Love my adopted home town! Living here has been one adventure after another. Did you move far away?
Wonderful! Glad to see your gouache studies, new paintings & old favorites.
Your new virtual window is NICE! I really enjoy browsing all of your work!
Beautiful site, Diane. I just shared it on my FB page.
Your paintings and your life story come together in a beautiful tapestry. Thank you for sharing!!
So great! I love being able to see the monotypes and the new stuff. Beautiful. Lura
The new site is gorgeous!

Not following ASPAN guidelines
Just reading about standards due to problems i've been having after back injury (see my other post) which my hospital is exceeding my limitations. Anyway with reading the guidelines it seems that ASPAN calls for 2 RNs in a PACU for recovery in Phase I of care. To me this means that after a cesarian with general or epidural or spinal...we should have 2 nurses in the room..we only ever have one...anyone else have similar situations? I think its the whole double standard thing once again, with women who have just had major surgery being downplayed because its just childbirth afterall. We need to stand up for our patients too.

This guideline states "requires two licensed nurses, one of whom is a Registered Nurse competent in postanesthesia nursing, be present in the Phase I PACU whenever a patient is recovering from anesthesia." The other licensed nurse can be an LPN. Anesthesia means general, spinal por epidural anesthesia. Please visit the ASPAN website for more info www.aspan.org.
Is there a staffing committee at the hospital you are referring to that could be of assistance? Are there state mandated nurse/patient ratios that need to be addressed? Do you know the name of the nurse manager of this department where you could discuss this with? Are you familiar with nursing administration at this hospital where you could voice your concerns?
Good luck!Jan 21, '07Specialty: ob high risk, labor and delivery, postp ; Joined: Jan '07; Posts: 84; Likes: 36Thanks for replying. There are no mandated ratios where I live, otherwise my job would be sooo much better, we run postpartum with 2 nurses to 18 pts, antepartum with a 1:5 or more, which are all against any recommended ratios by AWHONN which establishes those guidelines. We don't have any staffing committee, our nurse manager pretty much decides, although she will of course claim that we are well staffed and that it isn't her fault if people "call out", but just for example, I have been on limited duty working only part of the day for over a year now, and she had never covered the remainder of my shift. I think that she must like that people have become resentful of me for this, since people from the next shift have told me that they would be willing to cover it, if she scheduled them that way. Also, this way I am forced to try to complete a whole shifts work in less time. The real problem with her not following this guideline is that I have actual physical disabilities (such as not being able to lift more than 20 lbs) which I think should preclude me from being alone in PACU with a fresh postop. For pete's sake, if they've had General- I can't even raise the head of their stretcher, and if spinal or epidural, I can neither turn them nor lift their legs to check for vaginal bleeding. It seems completely unsafe to me, but no one seems to want to support me. Recently a coworker hurt herself and can't lift and she has a cast shoe on one foot--but she frequently is assigned to PACU also. The nurse manager says there's no reason we can't "sit there and take vitals". That's why I have been trying to get documentation to take to her bosses. I have been reluctant to just go right over everyones head to public health or JCAHO, despite supposed protection for whistle blowers.Jan 21, '07Occupation: Clinical Informatics Educator Specialty: 16 year(s) of experience in 26 ; From: US ; Joined: Jul '02; Posts: 17; Likes: 21That's a very sad story. I think, from a patient safety perspective, you are going to have to make some decisions as to whether you should be working in this environment due to your limited physical abilities, and if you should even continue working in this organization. Patient safety should be the most important piece and if there are clear violations of accepted guidelines from AWHONN and ASPAN that are clearly being breached you need to think twice about devoting anymore time, energy or emotion into this job. I'm sure there is a policy from HR that indicates what type of work you would be allowed to do taking into consideration the limitations you list. Have you been cleared by Employee Health to return to 100% function? It doesn't sound like you meet the physical requirements of the RN job description. If your injuries were related to work then it falls into the Workman's Comp arena and it's the obligation of the hospital to give you work that you could due with your specific limitations. Your manager, her administrative supervisor and the hospital are leaving your case wide open for any liability related to limitations you have where you are being required to function as if you were free of any injury.
This is purely a patient safety issue and that is where I'd start with your documentation. You might have to decide this situation is too dangerous for patients and yourself and that you need to get out of there. Policies are also a wonderful thing if you can correlate how your situation is in violation of any organizational employee health and work injury policies.
As a nurse manager I'm constantly making sure I apply established policies fairly to all employees and patient situations. I don't know what type of hospital you work in or what her budgeted P/I (productivity index) has been established. It's sometimes feels like you're being squeezed in this role - from my supervisor at the top and from staff and patient issues from the bottom. Staff sometimes don't have that bigger picture that the manager has. I usually tell my staff that I'm the Reality Officer for the department. I have to define reality daily to them and perhaps this is how your manager is defining reality for you in your department.

The first thing the prosecuting lawyer will look for is standards of practice for a specialty. In my state(CA) I believe the PACU is considered a critical care unit and we are required by law to have 2 licenced nurses at all times when a patient is present. It is also not safe for the patient or nurse to be alone in a unit(any unit) with a patient. If you look at the hospital policy(the ones they claim to follow when the accredidation committee is there) you will find this is your policy.Also, you should consider that if (God forbid) there was ever a negative outcome for a patient that went to a lawsuit, you would be judged against the standard of care for your particular practice.Apr 27, '07Specialty: ob high risk, labor and delivery, postp ; Joined: Jan '07; Posts: 84; Likes: 36I don't know quite how they get away with having only one nurse in the PACU area, which on our unit is just a room (it is a solarium that was retrofitted to be a recovery room). I think they claim that there is always an Rn at the Nurse's station which is across the hallway..which is untrue.
Unfortunately, I can't quit my job as I need the money. I am on worker's compensation but in our state that doesn't carry much weight. They constantly force me to exceed my limitatations but even though I have protested it doesn't improve. I have even testified in court that this is so during a compensation hearing..which I won the judgement in btw. We also have an obstetrical triage area which I am usually assigned to now. I have discussed with my boss that this is beyond my limitations. In one room we have an exam table. I can't raise the hob, or assist the pt into the stirrups. Pts arrive from the ECU via wheelchair, not having been seen by a doc yet. I can't even push the w/c or assist them from it. I have narrowly avoided several disasters with true emergent situations such as a pt who was hypotensive from placental abruption and fetal heart tones were decelerating--people ignored the emergency call light that I had pulled since the assumption is that whoever is in triage will answer it..I was screaming for help and luckily someone heard finally,(triage is an area at the rear of our unit with a desk surrounded by four rooms so its isolated), also a pt who I begged the charge nurse to move to a room who had an eclamptic seizure 10 minutes later. My nurse manager as well as ALL the dayshift charge nurses maintain that "all you have to do is call for help when you need it" to justify assigning me there. Its ridiculous but I'm pretty much stuck...I can't see getting a job elsewhere with my present limitations.Aug 5, '07Joined: Aug '07; Posts: 5; Likes: 11We had a similar issue at my hospital, management had been putting unlicensed staff as our 2nd person, we got together & told management that if there was an untoward outcome, that as professionals we would be obligated to testify that we'd brought our concerns to managament and were ignored.
We were immediately staffed with 2 RN's (our hospital doesn't employ LVN's)
There was a bit of drama, but ASPAN's standards were written by a group of nurses with hundreds of years of cumulative experience...Sep 22, '07Joined: Apr '03; Posts: 25; Likes: 1http://www.aspan.org/PosStmts3.htm
As pointed out they are standards not guidelines and if you read the position paper it is clear. "two registered nurses one competant in post anesthetic nursing will be in the room where the patient is receiving Phase 1 level of care"
Nowhere does it say -- another nurse is within shouting range, or just down the hall.
I live in Ontario , the hospital I work at follows the ASPAN and OPANA (Ontario Post Anesthetic..) standards.
I worked at a smaller community hospital for a short while where on nights they expected you to do solo nursing . "Just call into the O.R. if you need help".
I felt that was unsafe and tried to advocate for change from both a nurse and patient safety perspective. However, I no longer work there and choose to work at a facility that is willing to follow standards set forth.Jun 6, '08Joined: Jun '08; Posts: 3Interesting...because this means that hospitals who utilize the practice of recovering a patient in the ICU after hours are not following the standards. Afterall, the second nurse (ICU RN) is not in same room but is within shouting dstance.

Monday, December 28, 2009 – Crystal Ferguson, a two-sport student-athlete at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, has won an appointment as a White House intern for the spring 2010 semester.
Ferguson underwent a rigorous application process for the coveted internship, competing against hundreds of candidates from many of the nation's top universities. The screening process included the submission of essays, letters of recommendation and an interview with a White House official.
"A White House internship is a tremendous achievement," said John Jay President Jeremy Travis. "We are very proud of Crystal and confident that this will be the experience of a lifetime for her. We're equally pleased that yet another member of the John Jay community will be joining the Obama Administration."
Ferguson said she was "very excited" to hear that she had won the White House internship. "When I first found out, I was crying," she said. "I just hope I can make as many connections as possible, learn as much as I can and represent myself and John Jay College to the best of my ability."
A member of the women's cross-country and basketball teams, Ferguson is no stranger to politics, having worked on the recent reelection campaign of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. In 2007, she participated in the All-Star Project's Development School for Youth, a 14-week leadership training program for young people age 16-21. Her participation earned her a paid internship the following summer with Health Plus Insurance Company.
In recent months, former faculty members James Lynch and Ellen Scrivner and alumni Benjamin Tucker and Beatrice Wilkinson Welters have also been named to top positions in the Obama Administration.
Ferguson is a junior majoring in Deviant Behavior and Social Control, with career ambitions of becoming an attorney.

Discussion in 'Transformers Toy Discussion' started by soundwave_217, May 5, 2008.
Optimus prime(s):
I had a set of the Prime-like ones. I don't even know if they were worth my $1...
The dino's are kinda cool though. Different!
I had all of the Dinos at on point (long neck, triceratops, stegosauras, and T Rex/generic bipedal dino).
The T Rex one and the Stego were the best. The triceratops was ass, and the long neck was reasonable.
I'd hesitate to call the dino ones bootlegs, to be honest, as they don't even have elements of existing TFs - although the closest the Prime one has is copies of Inferno's arms...
I do quite like those dinos, though. Do they transform, and do you have pics if they do?
They actually remind me of some Airfix kits I had, that were little (about 3" tall) SD-style robots that transformed; I recall having a jet, a helicopter, a sauropod, and a tyrannosaur-type-thing that transformed into a spaceship. They were cool little things.
Yeah, the dinos aren't bootlegs, to be a bootleg it has to be a bootleg of something.
What should I call the dinobots? Rip offs?
Well anyways...
Compared to Grimlock:
Web Warriors by any chance? I remember them but couldn't find much information on them at all .
Not at all, they're just cheapio transformers (as opposed to Transformers ). Actually they kind of remind me of some Insecticon-alikes I've got, some of which are bootlegs (or at least very similar) of the Deluxe Insecticons (there's definitely one that looks a lot like Barrage).
That there would be the fellas, and Glitch and Bug were indeed two of the ones I had.
This site has all the names, but it's text only, unfortunately - the Web Warriors are the last group, right at the bottom of the page. I think I recall Drive was a helicopter, and Ram was the sauropod-thing.
Those Primeoids are obviously the $1 dollar-store ones, but they're different from mine! Mine had a scaled-down 20th Prime head, which this one is similar to, but the designers have added horizontal Wheeljack-like bars to the mouthplate on yours...when did you get them?
The dinos are just off-brand transformable robot dinosaurs. I haven't been able to find anything, yet, that they are based on, although I did find them in Butto's off-brand toy galleries. They're pretty nifty.
I still have the dinosaur ones.
I got them at dollerrama today.
Cool. I think I've seen the dino one's before, and I've bought 2 of the Prime-like one's (thought hey had normal Prime face-plates). I wouldn't mind getting ahold of two more of the Prime's, as the guns would help me with a kitbash project of mine.
Yeah, the Dinos actually qualify as knockoffs, rather than bootlegs.
The Primes are kind of grey. They're heavily modified, but the majority comes from actual Transformers. The legs are from Robot Master G1 Convoy. The arms clearly are Inferno arms, and the head is obviously a slightly altered Prime head. So they look like bootlegs, to me.
Separate names with a comma.

here's the dance. when evening falls unencumbered. when the warm blanket of humidity wraps the new orleans lights with a thin fog and the termites swarm to the glow, when the streetcars throttle, rock, and metallic thud their way down st. charles, when cool glass of lime filled water sweats, waiting to be sipped, as cars seem to too quickly swing their way around the corners, the intersections speckled with pedestrians, the stories on the stoop begin. the random pellets of truth sprinkled throughout the gossip. when friends share drinks, cigarette smoke slowly curls its way into the air and decides momentarily as it hangs, whether or not to rise or fall. it drifts its way into the wisteria. disappearing. this life progresses. it moves on. sometimes surreptitiously, yet always successful. it makes its book longer, its next chapter. collecting the lives of the lonely, who with windows open, dream of joining someone else's story. the groups of casual acquaintances who lazily get their alcoholic evening loaded. all of the characters in this scene feel the weight of the day lift and fall away as the relaxing white of the crescent moon hooks the casual observer into a low, temporary pause, and then releasing, lets each one go slowly, softly into their own night.

The Dock
step. as my weight hits the wooden dock, it creaks, and i pound my feet fast down the warmness that the sun has brought by scorching the dock stretching out from the beach. my legs lift, and staring hard ahead at the sparkling tips of the water as little waves jump and push themselves up to catch crystals of the sunlight. taking last step, i push off, momentarily defying gravity i soar upwards. my hair lifts off of my scalp, and the air runs its fingers through my brain. in taking deep breath, i plummet into the water and descend into the quickly darkening refreshment of the cool water. air effervescence surrounds me and plays little games on my skin as it slides around me. opening my eyes, i orient myself and drift up, quickened by a strong stroke of my arms downward. kicking, i ascend, things growing brighter, clearer. breaking the surface i exhale and make way for full lungs of new, clean breath. relaxing i float to my back, rolling my arm i push and swim towards the dock.

I haven't had much knitting on the pages of this blog for a while. It seems to be the winter when I do most of it, because of the long dark evenings when the light isn't good enough for getting the colours right to create something with fabrics or paint.
This time I made another pair of socks out of some gorgeous Hundertwasser sock yarn by Opal which I bought in Abergavenny market a while ago. Here they are in their colourful glory!
I'm looking forward to wearing them through the cold weather….
I've also been doing some more Gocco printing this week, using a couple of screens I made to test some of the machines I've been selling. This one is a crow which I drew using the Gocco pen and doodled inside to fill in the pattern of his feathers. It is a small one which I've printed on lots of little cards and a few Moleskine notebooks.
I also printed one on this previously painted newspaper:
I've also stamped this at the bottom with a wall-shaped print block that I made from fun foam (great for making print blocks!).
Today I printed an image of a cottage in the grounds of the slate mine we visited in North Wales in the summer but that will be the subject of my next post…

Embark on a road trip in Yellowcard's new "Awakening" video.
The tour for their previous 2011 record, When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes, found Florida pop-punk kingpins Yellowcard hitting some 30 countries over the course of nine months. So it's no surprise that they've probably got some mixed feelings about life on the road. (They're back at it again in support of this year's Southern Air in Russia at the moment. Jeez, dudes, take a break will you? Except, don't.) That sense of weariness shows up in the animated video for the album's lead track, "Awakening." Because cartoons can feel frustrated and other feelings, too.
Watch Yellowcard's "Awakening" video after the jump.
The clip, directed by Roy Fleeman (who's worked on designs for fellow Warped Tour scene bands like Anarbor and mewithoutYou), and conceived by Yellowcard frontman Ryan Key, is a minimalistic animated look into the long nights and loneliness of the road (that bus looks pretty roomy, though). After making a quick stop to pick up gross junk food (also known as dessert after a ramen noodle dinner), Key is left behind by his bandmates, who don't even realize that he's gone missing. Seems like kind of a jerk move, but OK.
The show, of course, must go on, so Key hitches a ride with a trucker (and his kewt dog buddy), peddles down the highway on a bike he finds, and stows away in the storage bay of another bus. By the time he finally makes it across the country to the club, he's denied access to his own gig. The f***, amirite?
All is not lost in the end, however, because he eventually makes it on stage just in time to play the show.
The video's melancholy tone matches the song's grinding guitar, mournful violins, and pleading vocals. "Bottoms up tonight, I drink to you and I, cause with the morning comes the rest of my life," Key sings.
And another ride to the next city, most likely.

Oh yes, the Lovely Miss Gina House of Sleepy Eyes Knitting has designed a scarf and named it after me! It will be available next month in Sock Yarn One Skein Wonders!
I take one skein of Noro sock yarn (Chris would love it if I were that easy to please in real life ;). I'm thrilled about this, since I bought more than a few skeins of Noro sock yarn when it came out, and have never done anything with it.
Suffice it to say, I'm giddy for the book. I, like many of our kind, see sock yarn as the "it doesn't count" purchase. And it doesn't. And I'll stab anyone with an argument. This book would be a win without Gina's Me. But it has Gina's Me, so it's a super winner. Get it. Get me.

One way to cut down on the number of lost and stolen checks is to stop using checks altogether.
The federal government, in paying out everything from salaries to retirement benefits, is finding that claims of lost or stolen checks are diminishing as it increasingly skips the check step. Washington's alternative payment plan is to transfer the funds directly to recipients' individual bank accounts.
Such direct deposits, of course, are made only when the payee voluntarily agrees. But the Treasury Department has promoted an intensive, four-year campaign to extol the advantages of checkless payments. And, so far, nearly one-third of those receiving monthly federal payments, including 11 million social security recipients, are choosing to go checkless.
Though the payment method is widely known as the electronic funds transfer (ETF) system, Treasury promoters try hard to avoid using such technical terminology lest potential subscribers be put off.
''A lot of people want to see and handle that check,'' explains Donna Jackson , marketing director of the Treasury's direct deposit program. ''They don't realize that computers are here and safe. A computer printed up the very check which many of them see as much more secure.''
As federal authorities tell it, the streamlining of the payment system reduces not only the number of checks that somehow go astray, but also cuts the overall costs to taxpayers and banks of preparing, mailing, and cashing the payments. Last year, $28 million in operational costs (or an average of 21 cents an item) was saved, according to Treasury tallies.
Instead of using the mails, Washington sends magnetic tapes with individual payment records by the existing courier system to regional Federal Reserve Banks. From the regional banks, the tapes are transferred directly to local banks and the deposit is registered in individual accounts. The hope is that one day the entire process can be carried out electronically.
Under the traditional check and mail system, Washington has averaged one claim (missing, forged, etc.) for every 600 checks. With the direct deposit system, Donna Jackson says, there has only been one claim for every 4,500 payments.
''The beauty of this system is that we can trace every payment - we've never lost one,'' she says.
''It saves us a considerable amount of money and we find it's a very reliable system,'' agrees Bill Andersen of the Treasury's division of disbursement. He says Washington could save an estimated $65 million a year if everyone on social security agreed to go checkless. ''This is definitely the payment mechanism of the future.''
Still, Mr. Andersen stresses that the government has no intention of mandating acceptance of the idea.
''We just try to encourage people by enclosing inserts with their checks,'' he says
