I started out to write about the role of print media in employer branding. Then I followed a link to the website of an industry group. Let's just say the association has something to do with publishing/communications.
There is no content on their home page.
Let me repeat. No content.
There are links. There is a (rapidly) revolving banner. There is a navigation bar. There are icons. There are images.
But there is no information at all about the organization or its purpose. In fact, there is not a single complete sentence.
My reasons for devoting a post to this? As follows:
- This may be an emerging trend that I just haven't noticed before. Maybe a new approach designed to make the visitor curious. If so, it seems like a terrible idea.
- This may be an example of no one watching out for the visitor experience. If so, it's a cautionary tale.
- This may be an example of companies participating in an association but not bothering to check up on how they are being represented. If so, it's another cautionary tale.
- This may be an example of web developers driving a website—focusing on gimmicks without understanding the fundamental responsibilities of the site. And that's one of the most common hazards in online corporate communications, whether development is inhouse or outsourced.
The takeaways for those in charge of corporate sites (careers and otherwise) are fairly obvious. Pay attention, take or assign responsibility, remember the visitor.
But I have to add one more painful point. I went through several pages of the site referred to here, and every one of them contained serious errors in grammar and syntax. Not nit-picky stuff, really obvious mistakes.
A reminder: This site belongs to an organization that represents companies in the communications/publishing industry. Plus: The organization is located in an English-speaking country, has been around for more than ten years, and claims to represent dozens of companies.
So I really wanted to track down the apparent gap. I followed the "site designed by" footer link and made my way to the portfolio of the web design company. I won't overcomplicate this story, but I will say that more than a third of the sites shown in their portfolio had the very same sort of language errors.
I'm not sure what to make of all this, except to say . . . it's easy to lose track of quality in online communications. Tech wizards think they can write and nobody stops them. Approvers look at the site but don't read the words. And tight budgets prioritize fast and flashy development over well-written content.
In some quarters (discount merchandise, extremist propaganda, etc.), marginal website quality might not make much of a difference. But in professional associations and employer branding—there's just no getting away with badness.

The only thing I would be worried about is county finals. Do rugby world cup games take priority over the county finals? A bit like the semi final replay a few years ago?

A complete lack of stadiums through the middle of the country which is a real pity. But can case this is all talk as I very doubt Ireland will win the bid.

Sorry can't agree with you there. Why would you not rent out stadiums and showcase what the gaa has to foreigners and millions of people throughout the globe. Heck you could even showcase the stadiums to people in our own country who don't know what we have.

I understand the tourism side of it and would benefit from that myself.I was also in agreement with opening up Croke Park to rugby for the brief time the Aviva was under reconstruction.That was a unique reason though and the GAA would have looked bad if they didn't help out.

Rugby will never become what the GAA is simply because (outside of possibly Limerick city), rugby has never been able to become the people's game. In fact the reason rugby has such a special status in Limerick is that around the turn of the 20th century the rugby powers that be in the city decided to use the GAA model and establish parish rugby clubs which played games on Sundays. Given the GAA was so weak in the city at the time, rugby gained its foothold there and never looked back.
Outside of there and few other small pockets, rugby is a niche sport. It has never managed to intertwine itself into Irish society and culture the way the GAA has. Look at the number of rugby clubs and compare them with the hundreds of GAA clubs across every parish on this island. The GAA remains the heart of countless of communities across Ireland. Rugby can't even come close to matching its level.
Rugby will always be the fourth sport behind the two GAA codes and soccer. Yes it is far more popular now than at any stage, but that's on the back of the sport turning professional and the unprecedented success of Irish teams on a national and European stage. I would say a fair few GAA people would now also consider themselves rugby fans. I am. I never really saw rugby growing up, but was exposed to it at college and I became a big fan of Munster etc. But it is always secondary to the GAA and if I had to chose it would be Kerry winning Sam over Ireland winning a Grand Slam everyday of the week!
This is a fantastic opportunity for Ireland to showcase itself to the world and for us to show off the stadium infrastructure that an amateur organisation, playing a sport that hardly anyone outside this Ireland has heard of, can develop on through its own sweat and toil.
We should all get behind this, the GAA has survived and thrived for more than 130 years, it will survive and thrive long after 2023!

Again. The elitist thing is only prevalent in Dublin. Most people I know who play rugby down country (meath/Westmeath) would be from middle class or working class. Know one fella who played under shmidt in Mullingar, grew up in council estate, went to the working class school and tech. Only finished up playing with cullion couple years ago. Furthest thing from elite you could imagine, so when you are stereotyping people involved in rugby, please remember that it exists outside the m50 and is quite different.

Word on the e-mail subscription street is that Treasury is having a sale this weekend: 30 percent off everything but jewelry. It gets better: every single coat is half-off through the end of the month. It's certainly worth a look.
When you're done thinking about winter wear, check out Pantone's "official" color for 2011: Honeysuckle. The Goodwill Fashionista has some examples of where you can already find this shade, which could also be called "magenta," "light fuschia," or my personal favorite, "pink."
Whatever you call it, this color is not hideous in my book. I just don't think I can wear it. Perhaps shoes and accessories for us pinkish pale ladies.

Every now and then a girl needs a binge, a good old shop. For some girls it is shoes, for some girls it is handbags , now I will admit for having a soft-spot for both of these, for me it is yarn (and books). The last time I had a real yarn binge was when I went to Harrogate, to the Knitting Show and that was back in November, six whole months ago.
I went to Ramshambles and here is what I bought...
The rainbow! I have lots and lots of ideas of what to crochet with these, the problem will be deciding on just one of my thoughts!
Some Debbie Bliss' Party Angel, a mohair and silk mix. I love the shimmer that runs through this yarn. I think it will be quite difficult to crochet with, but the results will be worth it.
Not going to tell you what I am going to crochet with these two! But two of my friends will (hopefully) be very happy when they see the results!
I have no idea what I am going to crochet these into. These two were complete impulse buys. I love the way the colours change, I love the feel of them. I am thinking, possible, granny squares - I'll let you know!
All in all a good shop, most of what I bought I wanted and the others, well, I am sure that I will crochet them into something. At the moment I am just enjoying looking at my purchases, thinking and dreaming of crochet.

Mike Devereaux can look at his numbers and understand everything that has led him to this point in the season, but that doesn't make it any easier.
He was the leading run-producer for the Orioles a year ago. He was on the fast track to stardom during a 1992 season in which he hit 24 home runs and had 107 RBI. He wanted to do it all again this year, but he fell flat on his face.
Now, one week after he and teammate Harold Baines returned from the disabled list, Devereaux wants to be back on top of the world, but he knows that it doesn't usually happen that fast. He has swung the bat well, considering the circumstances, but he has yet to put the hammer down the way he did a year ago.

Weather: Scattered Rain Brings More PainBy Annie S. Choi
ARTS EDITOR -- After a few days of heat and humidity, scattered thunderstorms hit the area today and tomorrow. Despite the precipitation, temperatures and humidity will still loom above a comfortable level, leaving people's deodorants working overtime (or not working at all). Just be thankful you're in Cambridge and not in Phoenix, where temperatures will soar to 102° this afternoon. Showers will begin this afternoon, and will continue sporadically tonight. Temperatures will fall from today's highs in the upper 70s to the low 60s tonight. Tomorrow will bring more of the same, albeit a few degrees cooler, as Cambridge will encounter scattered showers and high temperatures in the mid 70s. The weekend looks positively gorgeous with milder temperatures in the low-to-mid 70s and sunshine. Weekend looks rain-free, which will surely make outdoor R/O activities favorable.
Today: Expect scattered showers this afternoon. A mild, welcome 10 mph breeze will blow from the southwest this morning. This afternoon will bring a high of 79°.
Tonight: Cooler temperatures with a low of 59° and a 60% chance of precipitation.
Friday: With a 30% chance of rain in the morning, the afternoon will bring sunshine and a high of 75°.

With more than fourteen years of design experience in games, technology, and general-interest publishing, Chris has become a truly bitter old man. Also, he has worked on a variety of magazines with Future US Publishing (where he eventually became the Creative Director of the Games Group) including Mac Life, Maximum PC, Official Xbox, Official PlayStation and Nintendo Power. Also, also, be was a Senior Designer at WIRED Magazine.
He is definitely one of those "form follows function" types of designing person, who thinks of design more as a problem solving and system building pursuit, rather than a "make things look pretty" pursuit.
When not arguing for minimalist design with coworkers who will remain unnamed, Chris can sometimes be found playing table tennis, Katamari Damacy, or his 1964 Sears Silvertone semi-hollow guitar in a terrible band you've never heard of. He might be waiting for The Last Guardian to come out before he buys a PS4 playing the Last Guardian on his new PS4. You might find him reading history books, science fiction books, The Economist, or Wait But Why (thanks Stephen!). He might be watching a costume drama on PBS, Murder She Wrote, or Fawlty Towers yet again. He might even be trying to StreetPass with your DS right now. \(゚ー゚\)

Redundancy or Home working?
Well this could well be my choice. Like a choice that's good as opposed to:
- work from home
- commute an extra 2+ hours a day to Basildon
- resign.
So if I was at home it would mean almost no need for suits ever again and my internet paid for. But boredom.
But otherwise I'd have to actually find a job really quite quickly. Oops and I'm shit.
reduncy means a pay off tho
Yes, redundancy would mean a payoff
The payoff could be as low as 1 month's pay due to my notice or 3 month's if they use the same system they did for some redundancies a year or so ago.
Plus the government minimum which is utter arse
Okay, actually it's not that bad
£2030 and that's presumably tax free, plus (if I was lucky) 3 months of pay tax free but even if I was unlucky...
I'd actually kill to do this : (
oh no!
I couldn't work from home. I'd fall asleep? Could you? Good luck Theo.
Someone please give me a job where I work from home
much obliged
Work from HOME!!
It's the DREAM!
Blimey - think of how much this will improve your life with gigs, your love life, and the fact you can work from a number of locations ie, wi fi cafes... DO IT!! No brainer. Totally!!!
I get an extra two hours in bed each morning thanks to doing this. MMMM.
and plus
Basildon is rubbish.
work from home
just make sure you see someone every day, if you're the sort of person who goes a bit mad if they don't.
I would hate working from home
It would make home less fun, surely?
WHen I do it I work longer hours than in an office and I am all alone. :-(
I did it for a spell last year. Best thing I ever did. What other place of business would give you paid wank-breaks?
I work from home quite a lot.
I don't mind it. I get to work nekked and unwashed. Which let's face it, can only be a good thing.
On a serious note... i get more done, less distractions, and my home system is more powerful than my work one.

What Debts Cannot Be Discharged?
Memphis Debt Attorney discusses "What Debts Cannot Be Discharged?"
Bankruptcy will not get rid of student loans, personal injury awards caused by driving under the influence, court fines and criminal restitution, alimony, or child support.
Tax debts incurred within the last 3 years are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, but taxes owed for returns filed more than 3 years ago are dischargeable.
If you took a large cash advance or made unusually large credit card charges within 6 months of filing bankruptcy, your creditor will probably sue to stop this debt from being discharged.
On the other hand, debts commonly relieved by bankruptcy include medical bills, personal loans, collection accounts, money judgments that do not claim fraud, deficiency balances, and credit card debt.
Learn more about your bankruptcy options and alternatives. Contact us today to work with a bankruptcy lawyer who cares about your situation. At Sweeney Law Firm, our bankruptcy attorney is devoted to assisting you with the finest bankruptcy plan to fit your requirements.

Park Master Plans
City Park Master Plan in process The planning process is currently re-engaging with the community to evaluate parks and recreation facility improvements from a broader, community-wide perspective as part of the Parks and Recreation Facility Feasibility Study. The current concept plan of the City Park Master Plan can be viewed here. In addition, the draft City Park Master Plan Document can be found here and your feedback can be sent to Alfonso Leyva, Park Planner, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Roger Schultz Community Park Master Plan The Roger Schultz Community Park (formerly known as the Park at Lee Mill Heights) is an undeveloped 93-acre tract in the southwest quadrant of the city. The parkland is owned by the City of Manhattan and was annexed in 2015. It was acquired through a combination purchase and land donation. Surrounding land uses include residential on the south and east (predominantly single-family, detached residences), undeveloped land to the north (zoned residential) and rangeland to the west. There are two public access points: from Miller Parkway on the north and Loma Ridge Drive, a local street, on the east. The site is comprised of rolling prairie with steep slopes and deep, wooded ravines. There are approximately 165 feet of elevation change on the site.

text: In a previous thread Biscuits_AB mentioned this book. I have since tried to get hold of a copy and have struck a few problems. After trawling the internet and visiting a few book shops, I have eventually found out that it is no longer in print. Can anyone suggest where I might be able to get a copy, or possibly suggest any current books that would be useful to read in preperation for phase 1?

A rose tree, also known as a rose standard, is different from regular rose shrubs in the sense that it is especially cultivated to look like a tree. This "tree" resembles a lollipop and is created by grafting three rose plants together. It consists of a long and slender cane that is between 32 to 36 inches long, devoid of any foliage, grafted to a rootstock and a crown of roses. For a dramatic effect, it can be cascaded by pruning the roses as they grow.
Graft a length of cultivar such as floribunda, hybrid tea or grandiflora to the top of the central cane. Graft a disease- and rot-resistant hardy cultivar to the base of the cane. The resulting tree will be formed with the central cane serving as the small trunk, the grafted length on top as the crown of roses, and the grafted length at the bottom serving as the rootstock.
Select a suitable place in your garden where you want to plant the rose tree. Make sure the soil is well drained, and the area gets at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight.
Drive a metal or wooden stake into the ground to help the cane support the weight of the grafted rose crown on top. Extend garden string to secure the grafted tree to the support stake. Staking will also protect the tree from strong winds.
Prune the rose tree once all the roses bloom to give it a cascading look all through the season. Step back and visualize the shape you want to give the tree so you can cut branches accordingly. Achieve the cascading effect by pruning the tree so it is narrow at the top and wide in the middle. Trim all the flowering branches at the top, allowing the ones in the middle of the tree to hang.

Liars at Curzon this afternoon
My god how good was that???
liars hurt my ears...but in a good way.
i completely spazzed out afterwards when i saw the tall one outside and told him how amazing they were. omg, what a total fan-whore!!
they were so ridiculously loud!
there were people in front covering their ears with their hands.
amazing though.
I was surprised how good the sound was... god it was good. Booked ULU tickets as soon as I got in from all the excitement.
I enjoyed the film too, though it was a lot to take in at times. Certainly made for interesting post-film conversation.
They were LOUD.
I can't believe you had the gall to speak to him despite walking out of his favourite film.
he didn't seem to mind.
how was the film?
the film was pretty interesting
i'm now pretty convinced it wasn't a plane that hit the pentagon at the very least, and that just poses more questions.
it's too easy to accept conspiracy theories at face value, but it's even easier to dismiss them as pure fantasy.
All of my being good and staying in on friday so my ears didn't get any worse, and Liars RUINED it in 5 minutes. And I don't actually care.
We saw David Shayler afterwards...
if it wasn't a plane
what was it then?
seemingly a cruise missile of some sort...
basically, there would have to be several scientific firsts for the plane to have vaporised as it did, the damage to the pentagon was inconsistent with that of a plane, all video footage of the explosion was seized within minutes - and the 5 frames the government have released show no plane among other things.
i just can't see how it could have been a plane now.
whilst the guy got a bit Michael Moore-y towards the end, for the most part he kept everything rather scientific.
i wish i'd had the energy to stay and watch it. damn hangovers and sleep-deprivation.
ha ha
serves you right! :P
it's available on the internet though, so you could probably download it easily enough if you really want to see it.
the music was the most hilarious inappropriate thing ever though :D hip hop with scratching of explosions over footage of the towers :)
I just want to grin now
whenever anyone mentions liars.
So there I go.
a little bit jealous... i wish i'd been sweated on!
it's probably because
you don't get enough sleep :)
The stage invasion...
was a failure due to the height of the stage, the lack of access to said stage, the mean looking people by the access to the stage and our laziness.
i think you're right
im off to bed :o(

What Our Customers Around Birmingham Are Saying
We are the highest rated and reviewed pest control company serving Birmingham, MI and the surrounding areas. Read more reviews from our customers
Birmingham Geography and Pests
Birmingham, a Michigan city located in Oakland County, is roughly halfway between the cities of Detroit and Pontiac. It isn't particularly large, measuring only about 4.8 square miles. However, despite it's small size, Birmingham manages to pack quite a bit in. The city features more than twenty parks. Some of these parks are groomed play areas. Others encourage residents to explore Michigan's natural beauty with an array of nature trails and even some deep forested areas.
Among these parks is Quarton Lake Park. As one would deduce from the name, this park is home to beautiful Quarton Lake, fed by our Rouge River. The park provides a great environment for some of our best Michigan native plant life. It also provides a habitat for the accompanying Michigan native insect life. And while some, like the endangered Karner Blue Butterfly, are things of beauty, others can be less welcome.
Birmingham is home to a variety of undesirable pests. For example, you might encounter the boxelder bug. These seasonal bugs like to live in communities. Large numbers may appear and make their way into your home. Or perhaps you might have a visit from a family of mice. Mice are a family-oriented species. They reproduce very rapidly and just love to find a cozy home to settle their family into. If that home is yours, you'll need the expert services of a Birmingham exterminator like proof.
Birmingham History and Pests
Birmingham has a long history. Originally land held by regional Native American tribes, the area became a part of the United States in the Treaty of Detroit in 1807. However, after the land was initially deemed unfavorable, US settlement didn't truly begin until 1819.
Once settlement began, a rivalry quickly followed. Three men settled within close proximity of each other and promptly set up business. These founders, however, each competed for the same business. Each man decided to operate a hotel and tavern from his respective home. Now, as one would imagine, there wasn't yet a terribly large crowd of people traveling those roads in need of hospitality. This quickly lead to rivalry as each man struggled to take the business lead.
The city founders, however, aren't the only ones in the area with a bit of a rivalry for space. The city is also home to many mosquitos who will each be competing for "business"—in other words, you. You don't have to let them set up shop! That is where a Birmingham exterminator can help! Give us a call or send us an email and we'll get right on it! We can reduce mosquito populations by 90% or more within just a few weeks.
The city's history continues into the industrial era. It was during this time that city leaders had high hopes for the future of their growing town. In the 1830s, city leader Rosewell Merrill even went so far as to name the area "Birmingham" in the hopes of inspiring the kind of industrial successes of his native Birmingham, England.
Well the area has certainly seen its fair share of industry over the years! In fact, even the local insect life gets in on the industrial fervor. Birmingham residents may encounter problems with local hard-working carpenter ants. These pests are generally to be found happily working on your old or damp wood. They just can't get enough of it! Unlike termites, carpenter ants chew the wood, but they don't eat it. However, even chewing it is enough to do a good deal of damage. When these industrious little critters get their crews into your kitchen or bath, you will have a hard time getting them out. Those occasions call for the assistance of Birmingham pest control. We can send our hard working team in, to get that hard working team out!

High-Resolution Audio
What is it?
Although there is no formal standard for high-resolution audio, it is commonly considered to be music recorded and delivered in formats that are higher resolution (ie. higher bit depth and/or sample rate) than that of CDs.
Some people believe a minimum sample rate of 88.2kHz or 96kHz is required to qualify as high-resolution. While at the same time there is debate about the merits of DSD vs PCM encoding. We list all these formats on FindHDmusic and encourage you to make up your own mind.
Where can I find it?
You've come to the right place. Search for legal high-resolution music downloads on FindHDmusic. Refine your search by genre, site, resolution, format and availablity.
We also have a comprensive list of sites that sell high-resolution music downloads as well as a list of sources of free high-resolution music.
How do I play it?
You can play high-resolution audio on one of the many dedicated music servers that support high-resolution formats (see AudioStream's Greatest Bits for a selection of high end servers and players, or consumer brands such as Sony for more affordable options).
Or you can use a computer coupled with an external DAC. If you choose this option you'll also need playback software that supports high-resolution formats. For the MAC, playback applications include Amarra, Audirvana and Pure Music. For PCs, JRiver and Foobar are popular programs for playing high-resolution audio.
More Genres:Blues, Childrens, Country/Folk, Dance/Electronic, Gospel/Religious, Latin, Rap/Hip Hop, R&B/Soul/Funk, TV/Film/Musicals, World Music
High-Resolution Audio Essentials
When searching for high-resolution audio, it is useful to have a basic understanding of the concepts of encoding, file formats and resolution.
Encoding refers to the method by which the analogue audio signal is represented in a digital format. The two encodings you will come across when searching for high-resolution audio are DSD and PCM. DSD is a technology developed by Sony and Phillips for use in Super Audio CD (SACD). PCM is an alternative technology for digitally representing sampled audio signals that was developed in the mid 20th century (the patent was granted in 1956).
When it comes to purchasing music downloads, the most important consideration when deciding on DSD or PCM is whether your equipment and software support the chosen encoding. The vast majority of players support PCM and although DSD support was rare until a few years ago, DSD support is becoming increasingly common.
Another consideration when deciding on DSD or PCM is the quality of the sound that can be reproduced from the two formats. There is considerable debate in the audiophile community about the merits of the two encoding techniques.
File Formats
File formats specify how the PCM or DSD data are stored (and ultimately transmitted) in the digital domain. Some (most?) file formats allow metadata (eg title, artist etc) to be stored with the encoded data. Some formats also allow the encoded data to be compessed so that they take up less space. The compression is lossless which means the orginal data stream can be reconstructed from the compressed data. There is some debate about whether the process of uncompressing data during playback has a deliterious affect on sound quality.
Formats for storing DSD data include DSF and DFF. DSF allows for embedded metadata while DFF does not.
Common formats for storing PCM data include AIFF, ALAC, FLAC and WAV. ALAC and FLAC both allow for lossless compression. FLAC is a widely adopted open format but is not supported by iTunes. AIFF and ALAC were both developed by Apple with ALAC becoming non-proprietary in 2011 which has resulted in more widespread adoption of the format.
The resolution of high-resolution audio files is a function of the samplerate and bit depth used when converting the original analogue signal to digital. These original masterings (often referred to as Studio Masters) are often downsampled (eg from 192kHz to 96kHz) to produce files of lower resolution.
The samplerate indicates how often the analogue audio signal is measured and the bit depth is the number of bits used to store each measurement.
CDs use the PCM encoding method with a sample rate of 44.1kHz (ie. 44100 measurements of the analogue signal per second) and a bit depth of 16 (which allows for 65536 - or 216 different possible values for each sample).
High-resolution DSD files have a bit depth of 1 and a samplerate starting at 2822.4kHz (ie 64 times the samplerate of CD and so this resolution is also referred to as DSD64). DSD128 files are also available - these have a samplerate of 5644.8kHz.
High-Resolution PCM files have a bit depths of 24 or 32. The minumum sample rate required for a download to qualify as High-Resolution is a matter of debate but is usually considered to be either 44.1, 88.2 or 96 kHz.

The Garland Wedding | Sanderling Resort Wedding | Duck, NC
Adrianne and Liam are from Northern Virginia and decided to escape the busy city and head south for their intimate Sanderling Resort wedding. The weather the day of was a little iffy and forced the ceremony to take place inside the pavilion. Debbie Norris and her staff did a fantastic job with the coordination and all of the little details to make the pavilion look incredible! After the ceremony the weather broke long enough to let us take them out for some footage while we worked alongside Julie Dreelin. Julie captured some beautiful photos from the day and was a blast to work with as always! As the night progressed DJ Bruce with "I Do" Entertainment and DJ Service kept the party alive as everyone danced the night away. Congratulations once more to such a fun couple, we really enjoyed working with you both! Check out the wedding trailer we made below:

A cause gaining some traction in social and traditional media concerns the legal status of synthetic drugs. A new law that has come into effect restricting the sale of synthetic drugs has been condemned as being too weak by parents and relatives of users.
But their outcry is not based on reason. It is the anguished demand of a bruised group of people, whose passion is directed in hate at those who sell synthetic drugs. Hone Harawira threw his ill conceived opinion in saying, "If there is one law I could pass, it would be line up the guys who are making the most money out of this legal drug stuff, put them on TV and then publicly execute them, and then introduce a law to say the next bastard that does it is going to get the same treatment."
A supremely unhelpful contribution to a debate hamstrung by a public too angry to consider things responsibly, a public addicted to retribution. If you want an example of societies run on this notion then I invite you to visit Saudi Arabia, where they recently admitted not having enough executioners to meet demand, then tell me you support violating fundamental human rights.
I implore all those considering sup porting this cause to first look at what it is you are trying to achieve. You want fewer people taking these synthetic drugs, the fewest possible. You are advocating a ban as the best means to achieve this end. But did banning cannabis prevent its use? Did prohibition stem the tide of liquor? If a ban fails to kill synthetic drugs and simply drives their production and distribution underground, will we be better off? People will still take them, but without any regulatory oversight we will not know the chemical make up of these drugs, which can mean life or death when treating someone who is intoxicated. Is it not true to say that the new law does decrease the proportion of synthetic drugs and users by restricting the placement of stores (and therefore the number of them) and throttling the number of drugs by allowing only those that reach certain standards? This is an emotionally charged issue, but I implore everyone to not allow emotion to blind you to a responsible course of action.
Politicians have occasionally remarked on the stupidity of the masses, that the public are too ill informed to be listened to. I don't believe that. But I do believe that the mentality of the mob facilitated by social media is dangerous and uncontrollable. The only resolution is to refer to our reason.
A Plea for Reason
A cause gaining some traction in social and traditional media concerns the legal status of synthetic drugs. A new law that has come into effect restricting the sale of synthetic drugs has been condemned as being too weak by parents and relatives of users.

To start with, thanks for everyone who is supporting our visit, and to all the climbers here and far with great beta, feedback, advice and offerings. Cheers. Secondly, my finger is not injured after all, it seemed to be fine yesterday, so it was a needless scare, but reminded me to be gentle. Many climbers think because I have climbed 9a in the past, that I should walk up Rhapsody. I'm not here for a "performance" I am here for an "experience". Until mid April I have not climbed on a rope in over 6 months. I climbed in India in hot sweaty conditions for maybe three and half weeks during a three month trip and of those weeks maybe 4 days a week. I also got quite sick, so I'm not in top form and I am enjoying my road to recovery.
Yesterday was without a doubt the best conditions we had for climbing since our arrival and perhaps even better than any day we had last year. Unfortunately it didn't get sticky until very late in the day, we should have waited and climbed in the evening. My fist attempt on Rhapsody was fairly early, I felt pressure from the hot sun so I gave it a 'once over'. Warming up on the crack approach is no longer an issue, I hardly get pumped anymore. I took a stab on the headwall and managed a clean go to the top crux, where I fell, as you do.
I then managed to climb from the last rest (a precarious chalking up stance) to the top of the wall twice. But still have not linked it straight from the top of the crack to the top of the wall. I don't feel there is much need to link it on top rope fully, I feel no pressure to do that. My fitness feels reasonable and I have faith in the gear, so the only thing I am concerned about is memorizing each little footplacement and getting more and more familiar with the moves. Although this is not much fun to watch, or film of course, that's of no problem of mine. Smirk. With all the tiny holds and micro foot smears, it's a gallery of chalked dots and boot rubber, it's hard not to get confused. I also lost a lot of skin yesterday, although to a non climber my skin only looks pink, like the inside of a rarely cooked steak, to an experienced climber however it looks about two layers away from being a deep laceration from which there is no escape. Bleeding tips = end of trip. It was my own stupid fault for climbing on it in the direct sun so early in the day. I should have had more patience and waited until late evening, when things cooled off considerably, it even clouded up a bit and the wind curled around providing good contact. Although I did tool around the boulders a bit at sunset and I even got in a few nice moves with friendly folks. It was a late drive back home.
A view from the shore while the tide was out, waaay out. Check out the tips of castle peeking over on the edges of the frame, cool shit, and also be sure to notice the grocery cart laying in the mud in the foreground, this is vital. It wouldn't be dumby without it.
A group of motivated, friendly and encouraging locals enjoying ever increasingly better temperatures and conditions. The flowers are fake, Dumby only offers broken glass and fire pits, this photo was enhanced using PS-CS3. Okay, here is the deal, straight up yo… People think it's a little odd when I say that Dumby is world class and then they usually follow this up by pointing and laughing at me, but it is, clearly not in the same way that Ceuse is world class, or Font, or Yosemite. There just is not that much rock here, but the rock that is provides astounding quality. Each climb, each boulder, each hold is fun, proud and unique, that includes the two moves on slap happy and the 75 moves on Requiem. So that's it – that's my take. Agree to disagree.
What would a climbing trip be without buildering or scuffing up the face of an overdesigned and overpriced building of Parliment? Not much of one I recon. Here, we walk the mile and get a refreshing pint in the downtown disctrict of Edinburgh.
This is a snap of the cool engravings they have along the street. I particularly enjoyed this one, I talk too much, but don't we all.
Obviously someone very important was coming along, well dressed men and women in black cars being escorted down the Royal Mile. We are also walking above the very streets which witnessed one of the dealiest pandemics in human history. The Plague which most likely began in Central Asia and spread to Europe during the mid 1300's is also known to many as the Black Death. The total number of deaths worldwide is estimated to be around 75 million people. Approx 25-50 million occurred in Europe alone, kiling roughly 50 percent of it's population.
Bubonic plague had a drastic effect on Europe's population in the 14th century, irrevocably changing Europe's social structure. It was a serious blow to the Roman Catholic Church and resulted in widespread persecution of minorities such as Jews, foreigners, beggars, and Lepers. The uncertainty of daily survival created a general mood of morbidity, influencing people to "live for the moment", as illustrated by Giovanny Boccaccio in the Decameron (1353). below.
I know everyone believes in something different. But me, I believe – actually wait – allow me to rephrase that because I don't believe, I think, I guess. The only things I truly believe in are the things I am sure of. I believe in Lydia, I believe in my family and my friends and I believe in myself, but when it comes to life after death I have no beliefs, I have only assumptions and so I assume when death comes knocking, there is no ceremony, there is no heavenly gates, the lights go out, that's it – like a deep sleep and there is no waking up again, ever. We are simple organic matter, imperfect in every way and we live and we die and we smile and we suffer and we will decay. Our decomposing bodies will eventually make rich soil and from dirt grows the flowers, that is the circle of life to me. I don't consider our existence as humans to be special, we are not special, I am certainly not special and my death will not be a great deal, the world will turn, mother nature will take care of the rest and I will slip away into darkness the way billions and billions of people have been doing for ten's of thousands of years. Is there a soul? Maybe, but I don't need to find it here and now, I'm having too much fun being a human, I'm not ready to see my spiritual face just yet and if there is an after life, then it will reveal itself all in good time, I don't need to rush the process or hurt my brain by thinking about it. Some think my perspective is morbid, but the way I see, it sets me free. But what the bleep do I know, I'm just some kid who changes his opinions regularly and may one day be saying the complete opposite of all of this, all I know is that living life for the moment and doing what I love never feels wrong – and on and on and on we go… at this time – I'd like to thank my sponsors. (joke). Gotta go, the day is a wasting.

Can you iPad me now? Soon.
The next generation of Apple's
Apple will supposedly add a third line of iPads in a few months that utilizes CDMA chips for internal connectivity to Verizon's
For now, Verizon has been bundling the Wi-Fi models with a Novatel Wireless
Having three lines of iPads in what will likely continue to be different storage configurations may be confusing at first. Some consumers may still be perplexed over why the 3G model costs $130 more than the Wi-Fi units. However, this may also be Apple's first step in embracing Verizon Wireless customers. If the CDMA iPads take off, there isn't any doubt that we'll see a Verizon iPhone once Apple's exclusivity deal with AT&T ends.
Reports of a second-generation iPad hitting the market soon have been intensifying in recent weeks, though most of the speculation has been about specs and release dates.
Component makers have been telling DigiTimes that mass production of the new iPads may begin as early as the end of January. If that's the case, the new iPads may hit the market before the first anniversary of the original iPad's debut in April.
If so, Apple may be simply trying to get in ahead of Research in Motion's
The new iPads will likely feature at least one camera. DigiTimes reports that the new models will likely tackle the smudging and reflective screen shortcomings relative to Amazon.com's
The stakes are substantial. Industry sources claim that Apple plans to ship 40 million of the new iPads in 2011, far more than the pace of the original iPad this year.
The next few weeks are about to get very interesting in the tablet space. Stay close.

…urges N-Deltans to exercise patience
By Daniel Idonor
ABUJA—THE Chairman of the Presidential Coordinating Committee on Niger Delta and Vice President, Dr Godluck Jonathan yesterday met with members of the committee in Abuja with assurance that the amnesty programme is on course.
The meeting which lasted for over two hours was convened by the Vice President to review the amnesty programme against the background of recent developments and assured that it is on course.
According to a statement by the Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to the Vice President, Mr Ima Niboro, the Federal Government urged the people of the region to exercise patience with the process.
The committee explained that the perceived sluggishness in the programme has, among other things, to do with the normal gestation period associated with major infrastructure projects.
The committee noted that the leadership of the key militant groups had been brought on board the planning and execution stages of the process.
Currently their views are being harmonised with those of government, and as soon as that process is complete, the programme would be fully up and running.
The committee drew attention to the inauguration of five sub-committees by the Vice President aimed at kick-starting the programme, saying that they had been working behind the scene, strategizing on the best options for the development of the region.
They are the Sub Committee on modalities for the involvement of host communities in the ownership of petroleum assets in Nigeria; the sub-committee on infrastructural development; the environmental clean-up and remediation sub-committee; the disarmament, rehabilitation and re-integration sub-committee, and the oil and gas assets protection sub-committee.
The committee noted with satisfaction that the sub-committees were already meeting and working on the relevant aspects of the programme according to their individual terms of reference.

Many people want to get into good shape but have no idea where to start. You can feel confident about reaching your goals by using this article's advice. If success is important to you, then follow this advice to increase your fitness and achieve maximum health benefits.
Build a garden. Gardening is a great workout. Not only do you have to squat when gardening, but you also need to weed and dig. Gardening is one activity that can help you get fit at home.
20 Reps
Basic bodybuilding workout: To build muscle mass, lift more weight for fewer reps. Start off by choosing a muscle group like the chest. Do a warm-up set by lifting weights that are easy to lift. Do about 20 reps to warm up: use lighter weights if you cannot do 20 reps. Use heavier weights for your next set: do only 8 reps. For the last set, bump up the weight by another five pounds.
You are not going to get six pack abs by only doing crunches. When you work your abdomen, you strengthen and tone these muscles, but you will not burn belly fat. If you want flat abs, you have to take care of your diet and do a lot of cardio and weight training to cut body fat.
Learn about breathing techniques, and you will be able to work out for longer periods of time. When you are working out your abdominal area with sit-ups or crunches, try to breathe out with force when your shoulders reach the highest point from the floor. When you exhale deeply, your abdominal muscles are forced to work harder.
If you are looking for a fun and new method of working out, try kickboxing. Kickboxing is an intense workout, and fun as well. Kickboxing is great not only for burning boatloads of calories but improving strength, as well.
Constant running can be both beneficial and also damaging to a body over long periods of time. In order to prevent negative consequences, spend one out of every six weeks running half of what you usually do. This reduction in mileage will give you a chance to recover, both physically and mentally, from the running.
Give any bench you're about to workout on a test before you use it. Check that the padding is sufficient by pressing your finger into the cushion. You should feel nothing but padding. If you feel anything hard like metal or some other material, choose another bench to work out on.
If you come down with an illness, skip your workout. Let your body use all its resources to get well, rather than demanding more of it. In addition, your body is not really able to build muscles while you are sick. Wait until you feel better to work out again. While you wait, consume plenty of nutritious foods and make sure you get a lot of rest.
The donkey calf raise is an exercise worth checking out if you want to add muscle mass to your calves. These are a particularly good workout for these specific muscles. Raise your calves as someone sits on your back.
Lifting Weights
Lifting weights can help you run. Many runners don't think about weight lifting, but it is quite helpful. It's been verified in formal studies that lifting weights gives runners improved endurance, as well as increased speed, when compared to those who don't lift.
If you want your fitness level to improve, you're going to have to have a plan of action. Use all the ideas laid out here to create goals and to get started toward a fitter you. Try not to get down on yourself if it's hard to figure out where to start. The tips laid out here will help you.

Sword & Spear Review - War Of The Roses
Thursday evening and time to test out the Sword & Spear rules written by Mark Lewis.
I have been looking forward to trying these out since I bought a pdf copy of the rules in the Autumn.
Mark was good enough to put on an introduction game which helped understand the game mechanics.
Seen as master Shakespeare already has a very fine collection of Heroics & Ros War Of The Roses figures we thought it would be a good starting point to get these on table and have a bash of the rules.
We decided in the interest of time just to deploy both armies and camps quickly so we could get straight into the game. With 16 units on each side roughly balanced at around 600 points the armies were deployed....
Yorkist C in C - Longbows and men at arms
Another group of York units
Armoured Knights
The house of Lancaster elects to deploy in one large line
More Armoured Knights
These longbows turned out to be very handy on several occasions!
With all the forces deployed we began. I provided a brief run down on the mechanics of the turn explaining action dice and discipline, together with how to use captains and generals. This all made sense and everyone seemed to pick things up pretty fast.
We opted for a 90mm frontage for our units in two ranks so to keep things simple I decided to use 2" as a DU which is near enough !
Turn 1 - York advances forward...
The movement rules are precise and clean. Nothing that really hinders the game play which we all thought was refreshing. Too many other rule sets do very badly with their movement rules by trying to be to clever and overcomplicated. With these rules you can either advance or if you get the action dice to exceed the units discipline then you can perform a manoeuvre which allows you to move in any direction (even backwards but at a loss of distance) so long as no part of the unit moves further than allowed.
One mistake I did make was not to allocate our units into commands and use 4 different coloured markers as we had a 2 v 2 game. It was not an issue really as we just wanted to play out a game and test the rules. Something to remember for next time as it would be important !!!
York C in C attached - we grasped the group move rule very fast
General Jon of Lancaster....
He's just realised that he forgot to clear that A380 that was holding at 8.30 this morning.
The Yorkist's quickly realising that Lancaster was not budging pressed on the attack
It doesn't get any better than this.
A solid unbroken line of troops just waiting to inflict a whole lot of pain and a flagon of fine ale!
I opted to use gems instead of dice to draw out the bag. These were kept to one side and we rolled dice and allocated as normal but placed gems next to activated units.
A novel idea but I think I will just stick with using dice for our next game!
Lancaster orders some longbows forward with a manoeuvre.
We found to our dislike that these units were rather good.
With 3 strength and the extra impetus dice PLUS the change of using a bonus on a 6 or double meant that there was a lot of dice coming in when shooting took place. The rules do a very good job with Armour in that certain weapon types either reduce or nullify (in the case of artillery and two handed weapons) the effectiveness of armour.
Things are starting to heat up now. We had spent around 1 hour (with permitted Gabbing allowed) moving our forces forward. In hindsight I probably would of A: used smaller armies for this intro game (Mark and I can't resist the lure of big battles sorry!)
B: Deployed the forces closer to each other
Over on the right flank the Yorkist army was possibly stronger as we had more armoured knights, this proved not to be the case as the battle unfolded.
Jon kept his cool over on the left flank but moved a few units closer to pour down some fire.
Mark and I agreed that we should of perhaps concentrated on one area of the table and used our action dice more wisely. It turned out that we tried to move everything and keep some lines.
We found out later that it was handy to use bonus dice to give units the extra distance so it was possible to charge in with some units which normally would be out of normal range.
Here are my two fabulous units of knights.
And here they are again routed a few turns after....
I lost both of these down to some pretty crap dice rolling in response to a volley of arrows from the Lancastrian longbows. The longbow reduces one level of protection making the weapon particularly deadly. When I played the first game with Mark Lewis most of the shooty units in ancients were all strength 2 and did not pack any punch.
It's good to see that the rules do a good job for each period they cover
Back over to the left and we were struggling to get our units close enough to charge and the combination of the artillery and arrows was slowly chipping away at our strength...
Spearmen advance....
Over on the right despite losing our knights we were nonetheless feeling optimistic as we staretd to close on the Lancastrian position.
I had one unit of cavalry left, not as good as the Lancastrian knight's they faced.
I originally wanted to get around the flank and rear but after checking the movement restriction rule out (and I think we played this correctly) we said that the cavalry had to end its move facing the knights because they were in front of them at the start of the move.
On the Lancastrian phase they quickly reacted to the threat and managed to move some units into better positions.
On our next turn we got cheeky and used a 6 on an action dice to move an extra 1 DU (2") and elected to charge a unit of longbow with our previously unused billmen.
They ended up eating them and we quickly realised that with a strength of 4 these guys were just brutal. We resolved the rout and pursued straight ahead into the corner of the knights, pivoting and conforming as shown. We then fought a round of combat but with no impetus for either side but ended up taking a casualty!
I really like this mechanic as it allows a victorious unit the opportunity to roll up the line (we just unlucky on the dice here but against other troop types pursuits could be very destructive given the right circumstances)
Back to the action on the left flank and surprisingly we managed to flank charge a unit of Lancaster knights which had previously pursued after routing one of our units in the earlier phase.
A rash move which left their flank exposed!
We still could not beat them enough though in the fight!
10.30 and time to call it
The Lancaster's earn a fine win by having routed 2 of our York units to 1 of their's.
Well played to Ian and Jon and thanks to Mark for the use of his armies.
Post game thoughts
I think it fair to say we all enjoyed the game and the rules were quick to pick up. They are the best written set of rules I have used to date which is a huge plus for me. The command and control rules are perhaps the most interesting feature of the rules and really do make you think about how you direct the troops on the table.
Mark has been very clever with how he has written these rules, everything is kept simple enough but at the same time allows you to do everything you need.
Movement rules are slick, there are no areas for any "gamey" tricks to be used
Shooting and combat rules "work" and with no tables / charts to consult things move along at a rapid pace, again excellent thinking. There are a few modifiers which come into play but these are both necessary and kept to a minimum.
Morale rules in a rule set are a must for me and I like the the way that these work. It is simple and effective.
I have read a few other reviews and some people have mentioned the amount of dice on table, this never bothers us so was not a negative!
We will be playing these rules again soon and I will be putting a theme Month on next Year at some point.

Chasing the Moon, by A. Lee Martinez
This book caught me on the first page with a series of sentences: "The bed fell back into place. The window unbroke. An invisible hand tried to pluck Calvin from the fabric of reality. It failed, as it always did. He was a barb stuck beneath the skin of the universe, an unwanted invader that could not be removed. The invisible hand scratched at him like a dog scratching at a flea. It didn't hurt but it was irritating."
Okay, I thought, I'm charmed. The book nabbed me and carried me along with a fun story and excellent comic writing. A Lovecraftian world of monsters who seem to exist without the notice of the human world. The narrative flips between Calvin, Lord of the Wilds, and a young woman named Diana who has rented an apartment only to have the exits disappear. Diana has been granted immortality but the only way out is through a closet door containing a monster that will consume her. A monster named Vom that she strikes up a conversation with through the closed door and eventually puppy trains into obedience. She discovers an apartment building filled with monsters and prisoner and learns to find her way among the strange creatures while still managing her love life. Soon they try to defeat an even greater monster determined to devour the moon and destroy the earth, all while facing shifting realities.
The book is adorable and a fast read. I picked it up on a sale, I think, and wasn't sure what to think. A fun surprise, which is all too rare in reading. It reminded me of Peter Clines' 14, with more fullout attempts to keep things light. Meanwhile I'm sending a copy to a friend who wore a "Cthulhu 2016: Why vote for the lesser evil?" t-shirt.

Dogs of The Dow Investing Strategy
This strategy was popularized by the prestigious American magazine Barron's. According to This strategy managed to exceed the profitability of the Dow Jones by a wide margin.
The strategy is to buy the top 10 Dow Jones dividend yields at the beginning of the year. At the beginning of each year, the portfolio is restructured so that it is comprised of the 10 most profitable securities per dividend at that time. Some securities will remain among the 10 with the highest dividend yield and therefore will remain in the portfolio, while the others will be sold to buy their substitutes.
The strategy is automatic since you don't have to make any decisions. Simply restructure the portfolio at the beginning of each year.
Courtesy of Yahoo Finance: 2017's Dogs of the Dow
In the original strategy, portfolio restructuring is done on the first business day of the year, but the day of the year is really indifferent, while the portfolio is restructured exactly every 12 months.
This strategy is a way of automating the contrary opinion – that is, try to "buy what others sell" and "sell what others buy" in a mechanical way so that it can be done by any investor.
The strategy is valid but a possible risk that I see is that at some point you buy a company in clear decline but with a very high dividend yield in the previous year. This can happen when a company's business deteriorates very quickly, so the data of the recent past are good but the data of the near future can be quite worse.
Cyclical companies (steelmakers, airlines, etc.) can also be bought up the middle of the cycle, when their profits and dividends are very high, just before the cycle changes and those profits and dividends fall.
The only way to avoid this would be for the investor to analyze each company before buying it. In case any present symptoms of having permanent problems in the future, don't include it in the portfolio, and instead buy the next one from the list (the number 11 in dividend yield).
One disadvantage of this correction of the original strategy is that, in principle, the 10 companies that are included each year in the portfolio will have some type of problem or uncertainty because if they did not have the most probable that their profitability by Dividend was not among the highest. Â That is to say, the strategy seeks to buy companies on which there is some uncertainty to sell them when this uncertainty has passed and its price has performed better than the market. Therefore, the investor must be able to distinguish between a temporary uncertainty and a serious and permanent deterioration in the business of the company.
If you don't filter the strategy, you run the risk of buying a company with serious problems. And if you apply the filter too aggressively, you may have the problem of discarding too many companies to reduce the risk, and end up not buying the 10 most profitable companies (per dividend yield). Instead, you end up with 10 companies towards the middle of the table, so the strategy would have little to do with the original one, and would look more like a discretionary selection of values than the "Dogs of the Dow." Needless to say, do your homework before committing to this strategy.

Well that's it, I finally made my mind up to take a break from radio all together. Been at it since the late fifties, but it just doesn't seem to do it for me any more. Seems I'm just firing up the shack out of habit now and invariably just sitting about waiting for the odd sstv pics to appear. Figure it's time to get away form it completely for a bit at least. Maybe if I had serious money to spend I would get some enthusiasm with new kit of some sort, but the days of being able to splash out hundreds of pounds seem to be a thing of the past and we do seem to talking 'hundreds' whatever the kit. A pension just does not cut it and all credit cards were destroyed on retirement.
Anyway, yesterday I packed all the gear away and decided to play with my model railway stuff that I had collected in the past when I was erm....flush hi instead. I'm still not sure whether to devote the whole room to a layout though, so meantime I'm experimenting with computer and infra red control on the desk. I have Hornby Railmaster software set up on the note book and already I'm successfully controlling loco's through E=Link interface. I've tried my Bachman infra-red contoller, which also works ok. I also have the option of a Digitrax controller (Also works) and associated units.
I think I prefer the latter in use, but the beauty of Ralmaster is I can program the loco's to operate a sequence of events, of which I'm going to experiment this afternoon. If I had a bigger room I think there would be no question. Build a layout and goodbye radio once and for all. However, my shack is not suitable for such a big decision as that, so it's stand back and assess the situation time.
I'll leave the radio pages on line for the time being. Maybe something of use to someone out there. Never know I might get back into it one day anyway. Meantime it's 73 to all my reader hi.

Washington: Humans may have a sixth sense after all, scientists have suggested after finding that a protein in the human retina, when placed into fruit flies, has the ability to detect magnetic fields.
The researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, however, cautioned that whether or not humans use it in that way is not known.
"It poses the question, `maybe we should rethink about this sixth sense,`" lead researcher Steven Reppert was quoted as saying by LiveScience.
"It is thought to be very important for how animals migrate. Perhaps this protein is also fulfilling an important function for sensing magnetic fields in humans."
Animals are known to have a magnetic sense that depends on special proteins called cryptochromes, which are also found in the human retina.
While past research has suggested humans can`t sense magnetic fields, with studies showing such a capability remaining controversial, there is evidence that geomagnetism affects the light system in our eyes.
To see if humans perhaps possessed this other sense, Reppert and his team carried out several experiments on wild fruit flies.
For their test, published in the journal Nature Communications, the team also replaced the cryptochromes of some fruit flies with the human version of the protein.
They placed the flies into a T-shaped maze, with each arm equipped with a coil wrapped in such a way that when a current was sent through it, the coil became magnetized.
The team varied which side was magnetised and its strength, which went up to eight times that of Earth`s magnetic field.
The flies with the human cryptochromes showed sensitivity to the magnetic fields ? either avoiding them as they might naturally do if not acclimated to the magnetism, or showing a preference for the magnetised arm of the maze when trained with sugar rewards to go toward the magnetic field.
The human protein only worked in the blue range of light, the researchers found.
Past research has suggested that in addition to helping animals such as sea turtles and migratory birds navigate, the ability to detect magnetic fields could help with visual spatial perception.
To picture a magnetic-field coordinate system overlaid on objects we view, Reppert said.
"It may aid how animals perceive how objects are in time and space in a way we haven`t thought about before," said the neurobiologist.
