Enjoy and sample a few odd pieces of Arcana and occult humor Courtesy of the GALACTIC PRESS!
SELECTIONS: Jinn Am' Phulofit , Ancient Astro Alchemy, Fairy Godfather Percy's Celestial Numbers, Galactic Gimcrackery, Astro-Arcanus, Ask Nokanduski.
Before you read on, please note that our research has uncovered that Jinn Am' Phulofit was born centuries ago on what we now celebrate as APRIL FOOL'S DAY. As a matter fact, he blatantly takes credit for inventing APRIL FOOL'S DAY not just because he was bored and wanted to have more fun when he celebrated his special day but because he does not suffer fools gladly. Try not to take his words seriously – he loves to rile folks up! Enjoy his warped sense of humor …laughter is after all the best medicine!
I am the great Jinn Am' Phulofit. Those of you mere mortals who identify me as a genie will do this because you have the mind of a backward walking donkey. Those of you who are enlightened will recognize me as the great Jinn and Master of fate that I am!
If you think I am here to grant you wishes or to give you some fine future prediction then think again! I am here to give you my predilection for your sign. For you sons and daughters of the backward walking donkey, that means I'm going to give you a message according to the favorable prepossession of my mind. Does this mean good tidings for you? This is not probable. The editor of this publication, who has the audacity of a three humped camel, summoned me while I was in another place and time … the Hot Springs Harem Huuk-huuk where Oola the slave girl was casting me the come hither look while bouncing pomegranate seeds off my turban! At my age, time travel and an oasis with good accommodations are nearly impossible!
So, you Homosapien hoi polloi sons and daughters of the backward walking donkey, here is a piece of my mind …
|You can be a real idiot sometimes. You never know when to shut up and just keep ramming through obstacles when all you have to do is walk around them. Duh! All Aries men aspire to be Captain Kirk with a dash of Hugh Hefner … daring to go where no man has gone before and likely to get caught. All Aries women aspire to be Xena the Warrior Princess with a dash of Descartes … beauty, brains, and brawn or fast, overbearing, and pushy. This just goes to show how egotistical you all are! There is no subtlety here, just rashness and brashness. Aries men and women deserve each other. This is because no one else in the human race can stand you.
|What are you laughing at? You're no more than a petty tyrant with enough conceit to outlast any Leo. Some of the worst people in history were born under your sign – Adolph Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Jim Jones, and the Ayatollah Khomeini. What's that you say? These are just exceptions to the rule? You'd rather be an artist and a lover? Just like Carmen Electra or George Clooney? Far be it from me to tell you any different. You're impossible, immovable, and imperious. You eat too much and like everyone else to eat too much and then get a kick out of it when they get fat and you don't. If this weren't bad enough, you expect everyone else to pay for your meal.
|Many call you the sparkling gem of the Zodiac but the truth is you are the world's greatest con artist. You make an art form out of lying even to yourself! When you get caught in a lie you very conveniently blame it on your "other" personality. Of course when someone tries to address that "other" personality about the lie it's nowhere to be found. You could do great things in life but you have no staying power. "Call me later" has become your personal mantra. What"later?" There is no later! You're too busy running around in reckless abandon to pay much attention. You have a smart aleck answer for everything and claim to have immunity to the remarks of others. The truth is you can't stand to be bested verbally especially by a Sagittarian who by nature thinks you are an imbecile. You like to fool around … a lot. Don Juan was a Gemini. All Gemini Men think they are Don Juan or the Marquee de Sade who was also a Gemini. Gemini women don't know who they are so they just make it up as they go along.
|Oh stop whining! All that love and nurturing nonsense connected to your sign is overrated! The truth is you rarely help anyone except those in your immediate family and even that isn't help …it's really more like stifling! You're never in a good mood and are always irritable. You have yourself convinced that you are easy to get along with and expect everyone else to follow suit. When they don't comply with your expectations there is a problem …a BIG problem! It is true that you like to cook and will do so for just about everyone except Taureans who won't pay you for the groceries because they don't see the value in something they can't collect and stare at for hours. All Cancers love shoes. Imelda Marcos was a Cancer who loved shoes –all of the1000 pairs in her closet. You will lend out your shoes but not to Geminis because they lose them and then lie about it.
|Do we have to talk about you?! You do enough of that yourself! Even you quiet ones have a knack for showing off which is evident by your ostentatious accoutrement and gaudy jewelry. Your sign is often described as kingly, kind, and generous but this usually comes from other Leos. You're not really generous. As a matter of fact you're dumb as a rock sitting on the desert sand when it comes to money. You'll buy anything just for show. It's not a good idea for you to hang around with Aries or Sagittarius because they're dumb about money too. You're better off hanging around with a Taurus. At least aTaurus will tell you WHEN, WHERE, WHY, and HOW to spend your money. All Leos have floor to ceiling mirrored bedrooms with a spotlight that shines on the bed. This makes it easy for them to wake up admiring themselves. All Leos also have a secret gold crown that they wear when they go to the bathroom. After all, a throne is a throne.
|All Virgos are sadists. You are the sign that rules health but what you've really done is create different brands of neurosis for all the rest of the signs. Then you very cleverly hide behind your own hypochondria so no one suspects what you've done. What is all this nonsense about your sign being the sign of dedicated service and hard work? That's a bunch of hooey! You people are the laziest louts in existence. You just like to pretend that you're busy. You do this by spitting out technical information that no one else at work can possibly understand. They walk away so confused that they don't notice that you're really just sitting there playing Nintendo Gameboy all afternoon. You people have more excuses than a camel has fleas. You can put things off for years with seemingly perfect rational explanations of why it is wise to wait. It's a good thing you don't team up any Geminis because nothing would ever get done. Both of you should shut up and sit down.
|You people have a lot of nerve. You are supposed to be the tactful sign of the Zodiac but you can employ the mouth of a truck driver and then end your statements with, "have a nice day." You invented this approach because you are jealous of Scorpio who also has the mouth of a truck driver, doesn't apologize for it and gets away with it. You figure your approach will guarantee you the popularity you can't live without. There is no such thing as a fat, disheveled, or ugly Libra. It was a Libra who invented liposuction, breast implants, plastic surgery, and collagen injections to avoid such distasteful ends. Libras can't stand to grow old and that is why they hate the sign of Capricorn which represents "youth in old age" and oh how Capricorn loves to grind it in by constantly advising, "If it ain't broke don't fix it!
|All Scorpios are stupid and there is historic fact to prove it. In ancient times Scorpio was depicted as an eagle and better yet, the phoenix! So what do you insist upon as a representative of your sign? The lowly scorpion, scourge of the desert and bane of my ancestors! You're not fooling anyone. You did this just to be irritating. You irritate everyone. You should team up with Aries so you can corner the market on irritation. It doesn't stop there. Your sign has heralded some of the worst disasters in history except the sinking of the Titanic which belongs to Aries. Your sign marked the crash ofthe U.S. stock exchange in 1929, the start of the Bolshevik revolution, Black Tuesday, the start of the Great Depression and the explosion of the first hydrogen bomb. Most likely you also heralded the Black Plague. Then there's the sex thing. We won't go there. Perhaps you should rethink your sign symbol and pick a new one. Godzilla might work.
|Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know it all! Actually you know nothing. At the beginning of time the Powers that Be played a huge joke on you. There was a big argument about whether an object, animal, or human figure should represent your sign. Some wanted your sign to be a jackass and others a wise sage. No one could agree so they decided to make your symbol half human and half jackass. This worked for a while until someone took pity and changed the animal half to a horse.Unfortunately, the connotation of jackass remained. That is why today Sagittarius reflects two characteristics – either the wise sage or the horse's derriere … you know kind of a perfect idiot. How can an idiot be perfect? You should explain this to everyone else since you invented it. Come on, you know you want to! Most Sagittarians live to a ripe old age but they don't look pretty like Libra. The females look like a 125 year old version of Hermione Gingold and the males like a 125 year oldversion of Ozzy Osborne.
|All Capricorns are all really aliens. In reality, you look like a cross between Henny Youngman and David Bowie but since you are surrounded by an alien force field everyone thinks you look likeNicholas Cage or Sissy Spacek. This is done mostly to aggravate Librans who are jealous of your false capacity to stay young looking. Over the centuries you have done a good job pinning your alien rap on Aquarius who is now viewed as the weirdo of the Zodiac thanks to you. You have been called everything from a workaholic to a mystic and you embrace these labels to keep humans confused. Capricorn, you don't work nor are you mystical. You may be disguised as a human but your terrible eating habits and laziness give you away. What you really do is sit around all day playing poker, drinking beer, eating pork rinds and levitating. You consider Spam and Hamburger Helper gourmet food. Pretty soon everyone is going to catch on to you. Even your symbol the Seagoat is phony. What's a Seagoat anyway? It's nothing more than a botched alien attempt to fit in. Shame on you!
|You people can't keep a commitment to save your lives! You'll disappear without a trace, return ten years later, and expect everyone you've offended to welcome with open arms like nothing happened. No one knows where you go and you can't remember where you've been. It's all part of a plot devised by you to drive everyone else crazy. You did this so you could become rich … your sign invented psychoanalysis. You are supposed to be the sign of humanitarianism but the truth is you really don't even like other people unless you are having sex with them or they are lending you their condo for the weekend. You are an intellectual snob and lose patience with anyone you deem less enlightened than you. Sometimes you'll talk to a Sagittarian but only if there's an Aries around to act as referee – or would that be monkey in the middle?
|Why do you always think you have something to prove? You make a complete fool out of yourself trying to fit in where you don't belong. Actually, you really know this about yourself which is why you invented nudist camps. You did this to get even with the other signs because you knew most of them wouldn't have the guts to join except for Libra who is just looking for an excuse to get a complete body overhaul. So, how did you get even with Libra? You invented leap year so that some of your kind could stay perpetually young by having one birthday every four years. This of course drives the Libra to distraction. You also invented Scientology just to aggravate Aquarians. The only sign you get along with is Cancer because you have two things in common. The two of you like to play Sarah Bernhardt and two of you have a shoe fetish. Both of you need to get a life.

Who We Are
Revolutions Bicycle Cooperative opened our doors in the basement of First Congo at 1000 South Cooper St. in June of 2002 with the intention of saving the world, one bicycle at a time. That summer, Revolutions built a shop where people could rehabilitate and recycle bicycles. We dedicated ourselves to providing all Memphians—particularly the working poor of Memphis—with bicycles that function well. We wanted to create a place where people could acquire the tools and knowledge to keep bicycles rolling, and more importantly, to make a positive impact on the community one bicyclist at a time.
Years later, Revolutions continues to be about connecting people and bicycles. As a community-based organization, we are focused on building neighborhood engagement through the use of bicycles. We provide an environment that empowers and encourages people to view bicycling as a viable means of transportation. By making bicycling a desirable transportation option, we create a healthier, more connected and livable community.
Grit. Grind. Give to South Memphis Teenagers this Giving Tuesday.
Revolutions Bicycle Co-Op has partnered with The Works, Inc., in South Memphis, and joined #GivingTuesday, a day of giving the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, that allows the Memphis community, individuals and organizations to team up to encourage philanthropy and celebrate generosity during this Christmas season.
With a $300 donation, you could provide transportation to teenagers in South Memphis, currently in need of reliable transportation. Included in the $300 is a bicycle, helmet, lights and a heavy-duty lock. This gift will allow teenagers to travel to-and-from school, after school activities and sports, and work opportunities.
Click below to contribute today, and specify your donation for "South Memphis Teen Bikes".
This Giving Tuesday campaign provides the necessary tools to our teenagers that are a part of the Big Jump Teen Ambassadors Program. Learn more about that here.

To make a simple handmade belt, tie a long trip of fabric at the waist, create a long braid out of leather cord or finish off a ribbon or long piece of fabric with D-rings. To make a leather belt with a buckle, attach a buckle to a long piece of leather and punch holes in the opposite end.
To add decorative touches to a basic fabric or ribbon belt, add pompoms to the ends or attach a piece of costume jewelry to the center. D-rings work well as simple belt buckles. Simply attach two D-rings to one side of a long strip of fabric, and pull the other end through the D-rings to fasten the belt. To make a chain belt, take a length of chain and fix a clasp to one of the ends.
To make leather belts with buckles, needed supplies include belt blanks, awls, punches and leather studs. Start with a belt blank and buckle. Insert the buckle through the hole at the end of the blank and wrap the leather around the buckle. Fix the buckle in place with studs. Use an awl or leather punch to punch holes in the other end of the belt.

Choosing a college can seem like a daunting task - one that is full of emotion, uncertainty and what seem like never-ending questions. As you engage in this process with your student, we recommend making a trip to campus one of your top priorities. Most of the students who visit a college campus are able to tell within the first hour of the visit whether they "belong" at the college. A campus visit is an amazing opportunity to experience campus life first-hand. We would also recommend that you come along, since the support you provide for your student in this process is critical. On an M State campus tour, you will have the opportunity to meet faculty and staff, tour the campus and housing units if applicable, and visit with staff about the opportunities at M State. You will also have a chance to ask as many questions as you would like (including questions about financial aid, programs and majors and scholarship opportunities). Click here to schedule your campus visit today!

The late 1820s and 1830s saw a Protestant religious revival called the Second Great Awakening which had a strong impact on American religion and reform. The people of New England were strongly opposed to the Catholic Church and its teachings. This writer denounces the Roman Catholic bible which contains notes that are anti-Protestant. He feels that Catholics are told to view Protestants as odious and sinful as criminals and that Protestants should be aware of the threats posed by the Catholic teachings. The Greenfield Gazette and Franklin Herald was the newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, from June 26, 1827 to June 27, 1837. It changed its name to the Gazette & Mercury.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA --Google revved up its Internet advertising sales to quintuple its fourth-quarter profit. It also delivered double-digit revenue growth for the first time in a year.
The results announced Thursday are the strongest sign yet that the Internet search leader has shaken off the recession's doldrums. Investors are now counting on Google to build upon its fourth-quarter momentum and accelerate its financial pace this year.
Google earned nearly $2 billion in the final three months of 2009.
Fourth-quarter revenue totaled $6.7 billion, a 17 percent increase.
Google's growth had bogged down to just 5 percent through the first nine months of 2009. The company's quarterly growth had never fallen below 10 percent until last year.

The Sequitorian Society
About Us
The relationship between humankind and the natural world has been fractured. In some places, there is no relationship in evidence at all.
Every problem facing mankind*: from inter-personal conflict to international conflict; from social isolation to economic inequality to climate change, the losses of cultural, linguistic and bio-diversity, the loss of indigenous knowledge and the loss of indigenous species - all have been exacerbated by this growing bifurcation.
The earth and our relationship to it are all we have. We can choose to deepen and enhance that relationship, explore its great potential, improve ourselves and the environment in the process, or continue to allow the forces of modern life to undo it.
The Sequitorian Society was founded to preserve, protect and enhance the relationship between mankind and the natural world.

Hidden (UK - DVD R2)
Our Marcus watches the latest paint by numbers BBC TV drama to hit DVD...
It is a time of social unrest in modern day Britain. A man with little interest in the present political climate, Harry Venn (Philip Glenister) is a small-time solicitor with a brief criminal past he wants to forget. When Harry is approached for assistance by Gina Hawkes (Thekla Reuten), connections are made between Harry's past and Gina's case and Harry begins uncovering the hidden truth about what really happened all those years ago.
Despite the confident opening scenes of the first episode that throws us into a series of seemingly unrelated events, Hidden falls into pretty routine BBC drama territory pretty quickly. With a very familiar central role that Glenister seems to be on auto pilot for, there's nothing all that fresh about this new TV drama.
Hidden is full of elements we've all seem time and time again on British TV. Relatively well written dialogue that isn't delivered as sharply as it could be, characters with dramatic turmoil and family issues that feel run of the mill. Oh and that weird trait that UK TV suffers from, where the shows persist in having unconvincing fake news reports not so subtly trying to generate a sub plot that builds in importance as the episodes pass.
I'm probably in a minority but I'm not a big fan of the UK TV crime thriller. It's all just the same stepping stones. Any popular actor who makes it big (usually via an actual good show or a stronger than usual plot in a soap) is going to end up doing their own one off or mini series just like Hidden at some point. It's a good project to take a lead in and to make them a name outside of the show they were made popular in but this sort of stuff bores me and sadly these stepping stones for UK actors seem to bring in audiences so the chances of BBC dramas ever mixing it up a bit and developing projects that don't just serve up the same style of show over and over again seems slight.
As for Hidden specifically, the plot wasn't for me, mainly as it plays out pretty much as was expected with dodgy politics, shady media types and criminal pasts (yawn). Glenister is an okay guy in interviews and such and he has a great voice but his presence here isn't strong enough for my liking. I can feel the guy acting all the time, especially with his smart mouthed responses to other characters. As for everyone else supporting him, it's all pretty lifeless. In fact I zoned out for a while when Thelka Reuten came into the show as the hints at her mysterious boss were very much like 'The Economist' episode of Lost for a while and I took a lot of fun from that.
To be fair to Hidden, I'm a tough audience for it. It's rare a British TV show keeps hold of me long enough to stick around for further episodes, even if the lead actor sparks my interest. Watching four episodes of a show here was hard to stick to but nothing about it was bad. I'm simply not a BBC drama guy and Hidden hasn't turned me around.
There's nothing all that exciting here visuals wise as Hidden is a pretty typical looking BBC drama. It has a washed out appearance with strong blues and reds but a hazy look with a grainy feel to the real world locations. Close ups fare better and have that BBC HD look despite the standard definition presentation. The real killer here is that the lighting feels dull on this DVD. Occasionally it brings the image to life, especially in a few external scenes where it highlights the colour a bit more but it never really does much to lift itself out of the obvious TV looks and its small scale.
Night scenes look murkier and again not all that interesting. Blacks are nice and deep and the colouring of the scenes feel a little more stylish but there's not much else going for it. Details are flat, textures only hinted at and really this winds up being a pretty routine DVD presentation.
Well there's even less going on in this department. The stereo track is super simple. There's a slight ambience to most scenes but usually it's the straight forward combination of the mysterious or pace setting score and dialogue that thinks it's sharper than it is. There are a few thumpier moments and louder elements of dialogue but nothing too out of the norm so this makes for a pretty dull audio presentation.
All the extras are housed on discs two and by all, I mean a few small bits and pieces. The interviews with Philip Glenister (07:03), Thelka Reuten (08:47) and David Suchet (07:27) all go down the same route of bigging up the writing, the characters they play and the story, with Suchet the only one making it feel personal.
The director, Niall Maccormick talks about his career and his approach to this project in his interview segment (12:28) and then we get the 'Making of Hidden' (15:46) which is interviews, clips from the show as well as on set footage. All very straight forward really.
Hidden is a typical British drama. It has all the same beats, all the same character arcs and quirks and everything I find pretty uninspiring about British productions. There's nothing all that wrong with the slowly unravelling story or the actors going through the motions in it, but everything is oh so typical and for me the BBC need to start taking some more chances to make me at all interested in watching any of their future miniseries because Hidden just makes me feel like nothing changed since I stopped watching. The disc is underwhelming in both video and audio departments and the extras aren't all that thorough either.

Chelsea Flea Market: It's True! It's moving north...
Thanks to all your comments yesterday and an email from Kristina Ratliff, who is the flea market's PR representative, the truth is out, finally...
The Chelsea Flea Market IS moving to the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market (39th between 9th & 10th) at an unspecified date following August 1, 2005.
While Ratliff told the Voice in June that the lot "had not been sold" and that she didn't know when the lot would be developed, her press release from last week seems to put August very much on the map:
NEW YORK (July 10, 2005) - Started in 1976 as a "penny-jar" investment on an empty lot on an estranged corner in Chelsea, entrepreneur Alan Boss marshaled 11 vendors to single-handedly shape the outdoor mecca that has become known by treasure hunters worldwide as The Annex Antiques Fair & Flea Market.
This summer, after almost 30 years of outdoor commerce-delight and top-notch haggling, The Annex will make the grand journey to the fated sidewalks of Hell' s Kitchen Flea Market.
Prospected for an unspecified date following August 1, 2005, Mr. Boss and his world-famous flea will travel the distance to the "little neighborhood that could" from the "little neighborhood that did."
As the temperature rises in Manhattan real estate markets, the inevitable development of the vacant parcel in Chelsea gambled in the hearts of market vendors and shoppers alike. Foreseeing the gentrification of the neighborhood, Boss harkened the spirit of Hell's Kitchen's legendary Paddy's Market, a massive outdoor pushcart mart that thrived through the 1930's at the same location.
Embarking on the adventure from Chelsea, all voyageurs, from vendors to day-trippers, will find welcome mats running the entire block of 39th Street between 9th & 10th Avenues.

Walmart, the world's largest retailer, is said to be in advanced discussions to invest $1 billion for a minority stake in ecommerce major Flipkart, a move aimed at taking on their common rival Amazon in India.
Walmart and Flipkart are in discussions for forging an alliance, sources close to the development said.
Walmart in an emailed statement said: "As a policy, we do not comment on speculative reports."
Flipkart spokesperson said: "It is our policy not to comment on rumours or speculations."
The likely talk comes close on the heels of the US retailer entering into a deal with China's second-largest ecommerce firm JD.com in June amid growing competition from Alibaba Group Holding. As per the terms of the deal, Walmart will get a 5 percent stake in JD.com worth $1.5 billion in exchange for selling its online grocery store to the Chinese ecommerce firm. Two months later the US retail major announced up a deal to acquire Jet.com for $3.3 billion to spruce up its ecommerce business.
According to market watchers, the Flipkart-Walmart tie-up will help the companies compete strongly against US-based Amazon.
Amazon has committed about $5 billion towards its Indian business and is aggressively ramping up its supply and delivery operations.
Walmart had earlier established a retail joint venture in India with Bharti Group. However, Walmart eventually sold its stake to the partner.
For Flipkart, a minority stake sale could bring in fresh funds into the company and help further compete with Amazon. Also, Flipkart can leverage Walmart's global supply chain and use the latter's wholesale stores in Jammu, Chandigarh etc. among other locations for pickup and delivery points.
In case of Walmart, holding a minority stake in Flipkart will help it to have a presence in the country's growing ecommerce market besides allowing it to sell goods through multiple channels, the Economic Times report said earlier this week. The US-based retailer can also eye the home-grown etailer's rising user base.
Last week, Flipkart said it has crossed the 100-million registered users mark, becoming the first e-commerce company in the country to hit the milestone. The Bengaluru-based company has also doubled its user base over the last year and added 25 million users in the past six months alone.
The company is engaged in a battle for supremacy with Amazon and another domestic challenger Snapdeal, where all three will be slugging it out to notch up robust volumes in the forthcoming festival sales offer starting later this week.
India is one of the world's fastest growing online commerce markets with reports pegging the potential to reach $30 billion by 2020.

Opioids are stored unsafely in most homes with children
Information about safety shouldn't get lost in the buzz about opioids
It seems not a day goes by without a headline about the opioid crisis, yet for all the media blitz, many parents may be missing a crucial point about having opioids in the house: a study in the March issue of Pediatrics suggests opioids are stored unsafely in most households with children.
In the study, 681 adults who had taken opioids in the previous 12 months and had children aged 17 years or younger completed a survey designed to measure their beliefs about and practices on opioid storage. The researchers defined safe storage as "locked or latched" for children aged 6 years or younger and "locked" for children aged 7 to 17 years. Only 32.6% of survey respondents with young children, 29% with children in both age groups, and 11.7% with older children reported safe storage. Yet 72.6% of study participants agreed with the statement "Children can overdose on opioid pain relievers [OPRs] more easily than adults," and 75.3% agreed with the statement "Children who take an adult's OPR can suffer serious health consequences." Furthermore, knowledge of a child's death was unrelated to storage practices.
Information about safety is getting lost in the buzz about opioids, said the study's lead author, Eileen M. McDonald, MS, associate scientist at Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. "We need to get through the clutter in all the messages and media to help parents understand that children having access to these drugs is dangerous."
McDonald acknowledged that opioid education is a tough balancing act. "We try not to get into fearmongering because if you cry wolf too many times, no one is going to believe you. But opioids are devastating for a young child to get into and can cause death. In older kids, if it's not immediately fatal, it can lead to long-term misuse and possible addiction."
Jeffrey A. Gray, PharmD, CDE, associate professor in the department of pharmacy practice at Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, noted that patients' perceptions may play a role. "People have the idea that if a medication comes from the health system and health professionals, then the medication is safe in all circumstances."
Pharmacists and other health providers should build on their relationships with their patients, Gray added. "The relationship allows health care providers to better estimate risks for the patient and family. When pharmacists counsel patients on opioids, they should take the time to explain not only the adverse events and what can be expected of the medication, but the risk once the patient takes it home."
McDonald suggested that a certain amount of mandatory education might help. "When I see a pharmacist, I can opt out of getting education on my prescription before signing my name. I'm wondering if you shouldn't be able to opt out of education if the prescription is for an opioid, at least for opioid-naive patients."

The 21st century descendant of a medieval monk has come face to face with his ancestor thanks to researchers from Lancaster University.
The skull of a man buried at Norton Priory in Cheshire was used in the facial reconstruction by forensic artists Richard Neave and Denise Smith, responsible for the reconstructions in the recent BBC series, Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The skeleton is believed to be that of William Dutton, a man born into the important Dutton family who were benefactors of the Priory at the time, and who himself took monastic orders and became a canon at the priory.
Living relative Peter Moore Dutton from Shropshire, who has traced his family back to the original patrons of the Priory, sees some family resemblances.
He said: "He has the typical Dutton nose!"
The research into the man, who was at least 46 when he died, also shed light on what may have been a more eventful life than might have been suspected for a holy man.
A William Dutton from this period was accused of a number of thefts, of cattle and also of horses, carts and axes.
According to Dr William Cook of Lancaster University, this same William also appeared in court in 1307 for " takinge away Matilda, one of the daughters and heyres of Richard Stockport… whence they tooke her out of her chamber into the Courte, & there stript her of all her cloathes but her smocke…".
Did this William, later in his life, regret his crimes and take holy orders? Or was it another William Dutton, a parson of Thornton church who lived a less colourful life?
Whoever he was, his skeleton tells us that he clearly suffered from Paget's disease and Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH).
Research is continuing into William and the many other fascinating individuals who once lived here.
Two PhD graduates in Medieval History, Dr William Cook and Dr Michele Moatt are working with the Trust's Senior Keeper, Lynn Smith, and Director, Frank Hargrave, to research the backgrounds of key individuals in Norton's history whose skeletal remains have been excavated at the Priory.
Lynn Smith, Senior Keeper at Norton Priory said: 'We're delighted that Lancaster University thanks to funding from the AHRC, is bringing all of these secret histories back to life. To be able to look into the eyes of someone who saw the grandeur and beauty of the 14th century Abbey at Norton is something very special."
The research and facial reconstruction will all feature in Norton Priory's Arts Council England funded £100,000 project, which includes multi-media guides, projections, film and more facial reconstructions.

Epic Studios
112-114 Magdalen Street
After the less-than-enjoyable experience that was Chase and Status the previous week, I was delighted to have found my musical gate of golden light in the form of the phenomenon that is The Blockheads. On this evening, the consistently excellent Epic Studios played host to a night of excellent music, performed (yes, performed) by proper musicians who were playing proper instruments. No backing tracks, tape sync or computers, actual live performance.
So, here we go.
The support were a local outfit called Eva Black. And mighty fine they were too, playing some excellent alternative rock to get things warmed up, a good tight, polished and clearly well-rehearsed set. Sam Norfolk did an excellent job on lead vocals with some very strong guitar work from Dave Warren. Checking out their Facebook page, they do seem to be regular performers in and around the area, so if you get a chance to see them, do so, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
And so to our main act. The Blockheads.
Mistakenly, when you talk about The Blockheads, the first thing you kind of think of is Ian Dury and quite likely, "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick". That's great as far as it goes, and whilst Ian Dury was, without any doubt, one of the finest lyricists of his time, his "sound" was that of The Blockheads. And this evening's performance sealed the deal for me on that one. Personal opinion, but there you go.
It all kicks off when Derek "The Draw" Hussey walks up to the mic, and says "we are The Blockheads and we sound like this……" and we get to hear exactly what The Blockheads sound like – slick, professional and tight. I'll confess that I've never seen The Blockheads live, with or without Ian Dury, but loved the music and have all the albums (including their very latest one "Same Horse Different Jockey" released in 2013 – get it!!!), so this evening was a real icing on the cake experience for me.
Did it matter that Ian Dury wasn't front-manning it all? No. "The Draw" is about as good as it gets for a band of The Blockheads stature and prowess. He didn't try to be Ian Dury, he didn't try to sing like Ian Dury and he didn't try to make you think he was trying be or trying to sound like Ian Dury. He looked and sounded the part of the perfect front-man for a band of this nature, presenting the persona of a retired hippy wide-boy with long silver hair and beard to match, Ray-Ban style sunglasses (later changed to a circle-rimmed pair with laser etched peace symbols), the gravelly London twang and perhaps the only truly discernible nod to Mr. Dury, was a white scarf that he hung over the mic stand. I've seen him described as Cockney Kris Kristofferson, and yeah, not far wrong. He performed the set with very apparent ease, a wonderfully dry/wry sense of humour and consummate professionalism. This is all adds up to the fact that Mr. Hussey has seriously filled the shoes of the afore-mentioned Mr. Dury, and it shouldn't really come as any surprise because the gentlemen were good friends and The Draw was Ian's minder.
We were treated a nicely balanced mixture of newer material (demonstrating The Draw's more than very acceptable wordsmith skills) and the "classic" songs. Every song was performed with utmost skill, performance and style, all members of the band really giving it their all, not least Norman Watt-Roy, a man who gave his bass guitar more life and character than I've ever seen in a bassist and gave pure performance throughout with no let up. These truly are group of proper musicians, performing a solid fusion of pop, funk, jazz and good old rock 'n' roll music that has unquestionably stood the test of time, all of which was genuinely appreciated by the audience, particularly when legendary songs such as "Billiericay Dickie", "Wake Up And Make Love With Me" and "Clever Trevor" were played. Newer songs such as "Look the Other Way", "Boys Will Be Boys" and "Undercover" fitted in seamlessly with the likes of "Plaistow Patricia", "The Inbetweenies" and "I Want To be Straight".
So, highlights. Tough one as there were so many, but of course we have to look to the more iconic tracks such as "What A Waste" and the dual personalitied "Sweet Gene Vincent" which brought the roof down. "Sex and Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll" and "Reasons To Be Cheerful part 3" never sounded better, as though they were written for live performance alone – sterling vocal work by The Draw on these two. The number that closed the evening was "Blockheads" and again, it gained a whole new lease of life live. But the one song that really stood out for me was "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick". Okay okay, beat me with it now for being so passé, the thing is I really don't care so get over it, because this song really showed everything that is so fantastic about The Blockheads from the voice of The Draw, the keyboard work of Seamus Beaghan and the guitaristings of Messrs Jankel and Turnbull to the insanely brilliant and frenetic bassings of Norman Watt-Roy and sax work of Gilad Atzmon, at one point the latter was playing two saxes!!!
All in all, a great gig, in a great venue. One slightly dour note was that the promoters had booked The Blockheads into three venues in as many days in less than a 30 mile radius which hit audience numbers markedly – in my opinion that's bad. Bad for the venues, bad for the band and bad for audiences, perhaps a little more thought should have been applied which would have seen better attendances. However, the sound of Epic Studios was once again fantastic and walking around talking to people, that seemed to be the consensus of opinion with many stating that it would be great to see a continuation of the big name acts using Epic Studios. I echo that completely.

Dubai: Dubai attracted 260,000 medical tourists in the first half of 2015, up 12 per cent from the same period a year ago, according to a Dubai Health Authority (DHA) official.
"Around 40 per cent of [the medical tourists] are from outside the country," Linda Abdullah Ali, head of the medical tourism office at the health regulation department of the DHA, told reporters at the 10th World Health Tourism Congress in Dubai on Sunday.
The medical-purpose visits to Dubai generated Dh1 billion in revenue during the six-month period, Ali said. She did not give the percentage of growth over the same period in 2014.
"In the third and fourth quarter, we expect steady growth [in medical tourist numbers] of at least 12-15 per cent," she said.
Dubai's medical visitor numbers are expected to grow by around 12 per cent annually. By 2020, the emirate is anticipated to welcome more than 500,000 medical tourists and generate Dh2.6 billion in revenue, marking a 20 per cent growth over 2015, Ali said.
Dubai had set a target last year to welcome 500,000 medical tourists by 2020, but it will now exceed it by 12-13 per cent, she said.
The emirate aims to achieve its 2020 target by continuing to promote Dubai as a medical tourism destination to neighbouring Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Africa, Asia and the UK, and offering medical tourism packages, according to Ali. More info

Colts stampede junior Lions 34-8
It didn't take long for Rivercrest to flex their muscles, scoring on their first possession which took only 34 seconds covering 64 yards, as the junior Colts stampeded Manila 34-8 Thursday night at Lion Field.
The Colts took the opening kickoff and Cecil Langston galloped 26 yards on the first play from scrimmage. Big fullback Austin Griffin did the rest, rambling the final 38 yards to put Rivercrest on the scoreboard. Carlos Sanchez's point after gave the Colts a quick 7-0 lead.
Manila went three and out on its first possession, and the Colts again struck quickly on a 47 yard end around touchdown scamper by wide receiver Faishaun Virgies. Sanchez again connected on the point after attempt, and the Colts held a 14-0 lead with 5:55 to go in the opening quarter.
Manila got its first first down of the game on a 12 yard run by Caleb Reinhart on the Lion's next possession, but the drive stalled, forcing a punt.
Rivercrest made it three scores in a row, marching 84 yards in just five plays, capped off by quarterback Marquez Chew's 45 yard touchdown strike to Virgies at the 7:31 mark of the second period. Sanchez tacked on the extra point, and the Colts had a commanding 21-0 lead.
After another Manila three and out, the Colts took over at the Lion 24 yard line and scored their fourth touchdown of the night, this time on a two yard pass from Chew to Chris Johnson at the 3:28 mark. Sanchez made the score 28-0 with his fourth successive point after.
Manila got the ball first to open the second half, but again went three and out and Kyle Joyner saw his punt blocked on fourth down, giving the Colts excellent field position at the Lion eight yard line. Alonzo Thurman's first carry of the night resulted in an eight yard touchdown run. The point after attempt by Virgies failed, leaving the Colts with a 34-0 advantage.
Manila started its most successful drive at its own 28 yard line after the Colt kickoff. The Lions drove 72 yards, capped off when Joyner sneaked over from one yard out with 7:29 left in the game. Reinhart ran in the two point conversion, cutting the Rivercrest lead to 34-8.
Rivercrest rolled up 201 yards rushing on 24 carries while Chew finished the night two for two for 47 yards through the air and two more scores. The Colts finished the night with 248 yards of total offense on 27 plays from scrimmage. Griffin led the Colts with 69 yards on six carries and a touchdown while Langston racked up 57 yards on just three rushes, a whopping 19 yard per carry average. Virgies' only carry of the night resulted in a 47 yard touchdown while Johnson came off the bench to rush four times for 48 yards. Thurman carried three times for one yard and a touchdown.
Reinhart led Manila with 12 carries for 63 yards while Alldonn Skelton rushed six times for 23 yards. Caleb Milligan had 19 yards on five carries while Luis Maldonado rushed twice for eight yards. Joyner ran the ball seven times for minus six yards and the only Lion score of the night. The Lions finished with 107 yards of total offense, all on the ground.
In senior high action, Manila traveled to Bald Knob, losing 45-6.
The junior Lions will hit the road Thursday night when they travel to Hoxie for a 7:00 kickoff, while the senior Lions take on Rivercrest at Wilson Friday night.

Down Interstate 69, just a couple of miles south of the Michigan state line, tiny Fremont, Ind., is basking in a boom. ''Everybody thinks this town is really going to grow,'' says Paul Ruby, standing on a parking lot so new you can smell the asphalt. In the past three years, some seven out-of-state companies have located a plant in Fremont (population: about 1,100). Mr. Ruby is a new employee for the Letica Corporation , which, like most of the other new plants, is from Michigan.
One hundred miles northeast, in the Detroit area, executives of the year-old GMF Robotics company are debating where to put their manufacturing plant.
The plant would mean only 50 to 100 manufacturing jobs initially, but Midwestern communities have plied company executives with everything from financial incentives to jazz-concert tickets and promises to change local school curriculums. Of the eight to 10 communities still in the running, says staff assistant Jim Pelusi, most of them are either in Michigan or Indiana.
These are the latest signs of an emerging Michigan-Indiana border battle for precious jobs. Michigan companies are expanding facilities or relocating altogether in northeastern Indiana - making it the state's fastest growing region in terms of economic development. A month ago, the Detroit Free Press reported that Michigan had supplied some 30 percent of Indiana's new business commitments within the past 2 1/2 years.
This border battle, moreover, is part of a much larger clash of ideas over the proper role of state government in the 1980s.
As anyone can tell you, Michigan and Indiana share common problems. They have skilled and highly paid workers, but continue to lose jobs to the Sunbelt. They were the only two states in the Union to lose population between 1980 and 1982, says Morton J. Marcus, research economist at Indiana University's business school. And both are targeting specific industries in an attempt to revamp their struggling, manufacturing-oriented economies.
But the two states are doing it from opposite ends of an ideological spectrum. On the one hand, Michigan - a traditionally progressive, high-tax state; on the other, Indiana - traditionally conservative with low taxes.
In Michigan, companies appear to be complaining most loudly about the high cost of workers and unemployment compensation, and in some cases, the Single Business Tax, which is computed on the value rather than the profit of a company. (While the tax helps high-profit companies, less well-to-do concerns sometimes can show no profit and still owe money to the state.)
Indiana, with a part-time legislature and no federal debt on unemployment insurance, has the lowest unemployment compensation rate of the Great Lakes states. In the case of workers compensation, it has the lowest rate in the nation. The tax structures between the two are very difficult to compare, outside experts say.
While compensation and taxes seldom play a major role in new location decisions, they could be a decisive factor for Indiana, if other things are equal, says Phillip Phillips, assistant vice-president of the Fantus Company, a Chicago-based site-location consulting company. On the other hand, Michigan may be gaining other jobs as auto-related industries try to locate as close as possible to the auto companies.
Indiana, too, has a mixed picture. Although it boasts low taxes, sources say several companies have not located there because of its poor public schools system. Compared with other states, Indiana ranks low in the amount of money spent per pupil and in the number of high school graduates going on to college. Michigan schools generally rank above national averages.
Which is the more successful model for development? Michigan and Indiana officials agree that it is too early to tell. But some experts predict - there are a few notable exceptions - that the ideal climate lies somewhere between the two. The answer also hinges on what kind of industry is being targeted, they add.
In some ways, Michigan and Indiana are moving closer ideologically.
Although Michigan raised taxes this year, its new governor has moved to reduce government regulations, and slash its deficit, workers-compensation rates , and the huge debt it owes the federal government for unemployment compensation.
''When government is in the way - and in an unnecessary way - we will get out if it doesn't damage the public interest,'' says Peter Plastrik, executive director of the governor's Cabinet Council on Jobs and Economic Development.
Meanwhile, Indiana has quietly raised its sales tax - from 4 to 5 percent - and one of its major corporate taxes. It is also beginning to pay more attention to public education.
Public education likely will be one of the state's major thrusts next year, Lt. Gov. John M. Mutz predicts. ''The governor and I are committed to new investments in what we call human capital. Those investments will have to be accompanied with reform.''
Mr. Mutz says he would welcome an opportunity to work with Michigan on regional development.

text: I haven't given back to BHW in a while so I thought I would let this little nugget loose to celebrate another epic months of earnings for yours truly. I present to you, The Jerk Method. Other variations may be called The Retard Method, The Ditz Method, The Redneck Method, and so on. The basic gist of this method is merely incorporating it into whatever you are currently doing. The idea is, creating a fully believable {Jerk|retard|Ditz|Redneck|Etc} personality, and 'being' that personality in your email replies / mailings. The thought behind this is that you will set yourself apart from he crowd. Think about it. Your typical spam post is "OMG, I just found the most awesome site! You have to check it out! Here's the link hxxp://epicfailmarketing.info" Replace that with "Hey douchebag! When you are done celebrating your team's crappy season, take a look at this site. Trust me you won't be any worse for the wear. It's not like you get any lower once you've hit rock bottom." Now...yes, it is really rude. It might even offend someone. But the point is, it makes someone stop and go "WTF??". They might just be intrigued enough to click the damn link. It's the same reason some of us like Andrew Dice Clay. He's not really funny, instead is very offensive and you watch because you just want to see what the hell he's gonna say next. Use this kind of psychology in your marketing efforts. You WILL appeal to a different demographic. Obviously this can be twisted to any strange personality. My personal favorite is jerk, but can also be very effective with redneck, jock, ditz, slob, cynic, intellectual, and even sailor-mouthed roughneck. Enjoy.

Wine competition governance is crucial if results are to have integrity. The NWC/Top 100 SA Wine Challenge is compelling in that the judging process and judges themselves are distinct and separate from the organisers. Judges have a professional responsibility to discharge. They are paid a professional fee for fulfilling their judging responsibilities.
The Report of the Independent Auditor to the organisers of the NWC/Top 100 SA Wines Challenge for 2018 will be posted here, post the event, around late-May.
I.C. Mackay and associates CA (SA) have been appointed to audit the 2018 NWC/Top100 results.
