Everyone tells us what a wonderful man he was and what a great friend.
Every year we take to our sail boats to race in the Brian Calvert Memorial Trophy, a race in commemoration of a wonderful man and an ex Commodore of the Club
Every year we take to our sail boats to race in the Brian Calvert Memorial Trophy, a race in commemoration of a wonderful man and an ex Commodore of the Club
This year our Race Coordinator was Brian Sutton in his trusty Whimaway.
This year we had few entries ... many Club members were away, either overseas or interstate and we just don't seem to be able to attract entries from the mainland, no matter how hard we try. Our Sailing Master Guy Hickey had contacted every Club in Moreton Bay, to no avail.
Most of us gathered at anchor off Dalpura to collect crew and to have that last minute coffee or tea before starting our engines and heading out towards the start line.
We motored/sailed Bonnington up the passage between Macleay and Garden Island with Peter Lawson and then collected Peter Deane from the mainland at Dalpura.
We motored/sailed Bonnington up the passage between Macleay and Garden Island with Peter Lawson and then collected Peter Deane from the mainland at Dalpura.
It seemed most people were doing the same thing and dinghies were busy going to and from the beach.
Ruth's son Vince joined us on Bonnington for his first experience of sailing and pronounced it a wonderful experience.
To our port was Cheetah, a 36' catamaran owned and skippered by Bob Sampson. He and Phil had been up since dawn trying to get a new halyard on the mainsail.
Judy always claims that this is the party boat and it certainly seemed to win on that score.
They had a large number of club members on board ready to set sail.
Colin on Tycho Brahe was assisted by Chris Wheeler as crew. He rowed over to see us for a chat before heading to the beach to pick up Chris.
I've often wondered .... does he use oars because his name is Rowe?
We spotted the tiny Anna heading past Dalpura, ably skippered by Ken Dempsey, a past winner.
Ken was having none of this woosy anchoring ... he steamed up past the start boat and had a quick practice sail before the race started.
But soon we were all dropping our moorings and hoisting our sails, making ready for the starting line.
As we sailed out from Dalpura, we had Ted Galloway on Ayesha to starboard, with one of his mates and Club member Guy Le Plastrier on board.
We all sailed around for the ten minutes or so before the race started, watching for the 5 minute red flag, the two minute second red flag and the dropping of both to signify the race start.
For the first time, our newly completed Pontoon was available as the Start Boat.
Commodore Barry Jamieson and Margaret Calvert were on board, with Robert and Judy Smith.
As we passed the start line, they raised a lusty cheer and yes, we heard the bugle blow!
Tycho Brahe crossed the line third , closely followed by Bonnington skippered by Sailing Master Guy Hickey with Peter Deane, Peter Lawson and Alene Ivey as crew.
Not forgetting an enthralled Vince on board!!! I think we have a sailing convert!!
Party boat Cheetah brought up the rear.
On the first leg, the two smallest boats led by a wide margin, whilst Bonnington managed to round the first mark slightly ahead of Tycho Brahe.
On the second leg, it seemed that Cheetah was catching Tycho Brahe whilst Bonnington made for the second mark in very heavy seas. Anna and Ayesha went slightly too far north which enabled Bonnington to catch up slightly.
The second mark, an orange buoy, was almost impossible to detect. In fact, I hear that Ayesha didn't actually see it but they had rounded it. Bonnington saw the buoy as they sailed south ... they could have cut 50 metres off their route had they spotted it earlier.
Around this stage, things were getting very heavy out in the bay. On Bonnington, we could see Ayesha steaming for home and Ken's Anna following us round the mark but Tycho Brahe was still over at Peel and we could see no sign of Cheetah's sails.
We finally spotted Cheetah limping for home on engines and advised the Race Coordinator. Then Judy's voice came over the radio advising that they had rudder problems and had retired and were cutting across the course to return home.
Finally, we all sailed (or limped) over the line and another race had been won ... and lost.
Congratulations to Ted and his crew on Ayesha for taking Line Honours.
The winner of the Race on handicap will be announced at the Brian Calvert Memorial Dinner next Saturday 17th October.
I think a special mention has to be made of Ken Dempsey in Anna. Sailing single handed in heavy seas such as we experienced shows what a mighty sailor he is. And not young either .... I believe he is well into his seventies.

Well today was International Manba Day and in honor of this momentous occasion I wanted to dress up in manba, unfortunately my manba wardrobe is sub par since this isn't my usual look. It is a look I like and admire though so what better time to try it out! I applied what I thought was a dark foundation but it shows up much lighter on camera (like most makeup). I might try this look again because I know it takes practice and I feel like I can do much better than this. My real hair wasn't behaving today so I had to slap on a wig, it makes me mad how shiny it is in the flash, but oh well.
I asked my sister if it would be okay if I gave her a manba makeover XD I wanted her look to be just a little downplayed compared to mine since this look is obviously out of the norm for her (as it is for most people) and I wanted her to be comfortable and have fun! It's so hard to take pictures with her though because she's so short and tiny >:O I always have to crouch down about 4 inches.
We aren't dark enough!
Gosh, this is my first attempt at this kind of makeup since...06' (not sure about the exact date of the following picture but it's REALLY old) and I sincerely hope my technique has improved since...oh God XD I was just messing around with Halloween makeup this time so I guess today was my first REAL attempt.
My hair was so short and dark. The thing is, I remember thinking this wasn't very good even at the time...but that didn't stop me taking a pictures of it lmao so go ahead and laugh at it, I know I did. Happy manba day everyone!
Oh yeah, and I made new nails since my last post.

OTTAWA - For weeks, speculation had been swirling that the Liberals wanted to get rid of the tax exemption for private health and dental plans, which the Finance Department has calculated costs the federal government about $2.9 billion in foregone revenue per year.
The controversy over the suggestion, first raised by the National Post in December, took on steam as the Conservatives pressed the Liberals to divulge their plans and the government refused to clear things up one way or the other — until they did.
"We are committed to protecting the middle class from increased taxes and that is why we will not be raising (those) taxes," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Feb. 1 in the House of Commons.
The thing is, that while taxing health and dental benefits now appears to be definitively off the table, no one really knows for sure what else is on it as the Liberals work on fulfilling a campaign pledge to find $3 billion per year in new revenue by fiscal 2019-20 through "an overdue and wide-ranging review" of existing tax expenditures.
That is a form of government spending that is done through the tax code, such as deductions or credits, and it is costing the federal government more than $100 billion per year.
The campaign platform said the goal of the review would be to find ways to reduce tax benefits for the rich — defined as individuals who earn more than $200,000 in annual income.
Their first federal budget announced the elimination of tax credits for education, textbooks, arts and fitness — and made it clear that was just the beginning.
Last June, Finance Minister Bill Morneau launched a comprehensive review of the tax system and convened seven experts to give him advice on where things should go.
"This review is part of a broader government commitment to eliminate poorly targeted and inefficient programs, wasteful spending, and ineffective and obsolete government initiatives," said the news release.
The secret nature of that review has fuelled the political fires on the opposition benches, especially since its results — and how the Liberal government responds to them — could end up being a major component to the upcoming federal budget.
Dan Albas, the Conservative deputy finance critic, said the Liberals might end up going overboard as a way to increase revenue without making the more noticeable move of raising personal income taxes in order to reduce a bigger-than-promised deficit.
Alexandre Boulerice, the NDP finance critic, said his party wants to see the Liberals force senior executives in the private sector to pay taxes on all of the money they earn from stock options, and at the same time increase the working income tax benefit.
The Liberals had promised to fully tax annual stock option gains over $100,000, but then backed down on the pledge in last year's budget under pressure from startups who feared for their ability to grow.
That kind of pressure could play into this budget too.
Gabe Hayos, vice-president of taxation at Chartered Professional Accountants Canada, said the fact that President Donald Trump is promising a lower-tax environment in the U.S. means the Liberal government would want to think carefully about what they do with tax expenditures that could have an impact on competitiveness.
"Canada is going to need to be very flexible about what it does," Hayos said.
Conservative leadership candidate Maxime Bernier, meanwhile, said he would review dozens of tax credits worth some $20 billion to help cover the cost of cutting income taxes in general.
Annie Donolo, a spokeswoman for Morneau, said she could not provide any details of the review but noted the government is "not looking at any measures in isolation and no final decisions have been made."
There are nonetheless some tea leaves available to read.
The Liberal platform mentions a 2014 analysis of tax expenditures from the parliamentary budget officer, which suggests that pension income splitting and the dividend tax credit in particular provide much greater benefits to those with larger incomes.
Kevin Milligan, an economist from the University of British Columbia who was named to the review panel at Finance Canada, wrote a paper for the C.D. Howe Institute in 2014 that makes the case for eliminating boutique tax credits like those for public transit and volunteer firefighters, while acknowledging the political cost of doing so.
Milligan also argued that since the age amount and the pension income amount are non-refundable, they cut out many seniors who could use the additional financial support. He suggested it would be better to move their value into the Guaranteed Income Supplement and Old Age Security.
Jennifer Robson, an assistant professor of political management at Carleton University who is also on the review panel, wrote a piece for Canada 2020 in 2015 that highlights the public transit tax credit and the Canada employment credit as particularly regressive.
Robson, who made it clear she was not speaking specifically about the work of the review panel, said it is about more than setting and meeting a savings target.
"I think that there is value in thinking of this work of looking at tax expenditures and credits from the perspective of simplicity and reducing burdens of compliance on individual taxpayers as well as businesses," she said.
The Macdonald-Laurier Institute published a paper last week that sets out a checklist for deciding which ones should stay, change, or go.
Its author, Sean Speer, concluded the government should keep the charitable donations tax credit and the exemption from paying capital gains tax on a primary residence.
He said the government should make the disability tax credit refundable and also start taxing health and dental benefits provided by employers, while using that extra revenue to give a refundable tax credit to those who have to buy insurance on their own.
Meanwhile, Speer argued, the age credit and the public transit tax credit should be eliminated.
Like Albas, Speer pointed out the fiscal situation has changed quite a bit since the Liberal campaign promise, but he came to the opposite conclusion about how the government might react.
"If it's not going to push you into a surplus leading up to an election, I'm not sure it's the type of thing you would want to spend a lot of political capital on," said Speer, who was economic adviser to former prime minister Stephen Harper.

Sundance 2009 kicked off with the usual flurry of mad dashes as the red paint began to descend over Park City, dotted with celebs and those "on the list" racing from party to party, scurrying to make the right connections, pulling out all the stops to seal their deals. Since the festivities not to be missed were often scheduled at the same time in different venues, the objective of being in the right place at the right time could only have been solved by teleportation or cloning. More than one star had appetizers at Celebrity Chef's dinners before ducking out early to race down the street to make it to a famous pal's dinner party.
Whether it was due to the slump in the economy or because the history breaking inauguration took place in Washington, DC at the same time as the Film Festival, the production of Sundance 2009 paled in comparison to previous years. But even with a majority of celebrities opting for Washington to commemorate President Obama's monumental inaugural celebrations; parties and SWAG still flourished at the festival.
The MySpace Cafe at the Sundance Lift was a perfect place for A-List celebrities such as Ben Affleck, Paris Hilton, Ashton Kutcher, Ashley Judd, and Nicky Hilton among many others to hang out, enjoy breakfast or lunch, and be able to surf the net or hold a press conference. Emmy Rossum waited tables on behalf of the charity Global Green for other Sundance celebrities like Michelle Trachtenberg, Zooey Deschanel, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Seth Green. Co-stars Billy Bob Thornton and Tea Leoni dropped by the MySpace Cafe at the Sundance Lift following the premiere of their film, " Manure" Tuesday morning. Chris Rock checked out the latest celebrity news straight from the celebrities on MYSPACE CELEBRITY while sipping hot chocolate at the MySpace Cafe.
Gen Art made its expected splash at Sundance with two fantastic parties. The first was Gen Art's Seven Fresh Faces In Film, a memorable event held at the Hollywood Life House, always a favorite location for high-end parties at Sundance. From the beginning, Hollywood Life House has been ranked by the LA Times and other media outlets as one of the most visible and successful Sundance spots and played host to some of the hottest celebrity events.
The Kenneth Cole Black / Gen Art event showcased the best in Independent filmmaking, celebrating feature film actors and their current Sundance films. Kevin Bacon, " Taking Chances" was among the honorees. Nick Cannon, " The Killing Room", served as guest DJ. Other celebrities at the Gen Art events were Virginia Madsen, Kyra Sedgwick, Harvey Weinstein, Andie McDowell, Efren Ramirez and Jeff Daniels.
The venue for the Kenneth Cole Black event was Greenhouse, an eco-conscious space at the Sky Lodge where Elizabeth Rosenthal, Senior Vice President of Susan Blond Inc. orchestrated one star-studded event after another with a seven day celebration at Greenhouse at the Sky Lodge. Another event at Greenhouse at Sky Lodge was " Brooklyn's Finest" party hosted by Richard Gere, Wesley Snipes, Ethan Hawke and Don Cheadle while MSN Green and Self Magazine put on an eco-friendly dinner for the documentary " Crude" hosted by Trudie Styler and Sting, with guests such as Pierce Brosnan, John Cleese and Kevin Bacon. One morning IFC hosted Breakfast with Steven Soderbergh. Late night Greenhouse became a favorite after-hours venue as did LIVEstyle's Film Lounge and After-hours series, at Downstairs at Sundance.
Island Def Jam at The House of Hype hosted Hospitality Lounges for the stars and filmmakers by day, while opening their Ultra Lounge until 3 AM.
All over town SWAG suites flourished. Many sent cars to pick up the A-Listers and offered luxurious massages, beauty treatments by celebrity stylists, gourmet chefs preparing special delicacies, pampering, primping and bestowing glamorous gifts and luxury vacations.
Jeremy Jackson of Bay Watch and VH1's " Confessions of a Teen Idol," hosted Christian Audigier's, Ed Hardy Shoes VIP cocktail party and after-hours events in a beautiful mansion with hundreds of thousands of dollars in concert sound and lighting with DJ Rush and DJ Rad Ryan spinning till 5 am all weekend with an open bar and Maserati car service picking guests up from Main Street. American Idol runner up, David Archuleta was there as were members of 36 Mafia and many others.

That's right - after seeing so much amazing talent at the Square Sounds open mic, and the realisation that some of the Square Sounds fans had no idea SoundBytes existed, we realised it was probably about time for some more SoundBytes love!
We do have plans for at least one more show later this year (and whispers of international guests) but for now, we have put together what we think is a pretty killer line up, with some of those new faces, as well as some you should, by now, recognise!

We've been telling stories and playing traditional music for many years, and in 1990 while directing a summer program for young people called Camp Imagination, we had an idea. Could radio drama be used in the classroom to enhance learning and nourish the imagination? After months researching how to write radio plays and make sound effects, we set forth with an FM radio transmitter visiting schools throughout California and Oregon. At each school we would set up our transmitter and broadcast a group of students performing a "live" radio play that other students and teachers would listen to on radios in their classrooms. It was an exciting time and we learned a great deal about how to make radio drama a successful learning experience for all concerned.
In 1996 we received major funding from the California Department of Education to develop a radio drama curriculum focusing on the dangers of tobacco use. We decided to combine a professionally recorded play called Visitor from the Past with a follow-up script called Talkin' Tobacco that the students could perform and record themselves. We also created an innovative teacher's guide with activities and discussion topics, selected readings, and information about the tobacco industry. We also included a special radio decoder for use when figuring out the secret messages. For two years after the launch of the curriculum we traveled around California conducting in-service workshops for teachers on strategies for preventing tobacco-use and how to use radio dramas with students to make learning fun and effective.
We then received a major grant from the United States Justice Department, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, to design, produce, and distribute an innovative law-related education curriculum using radio drama. After extensive research on lesser-known and yet remarkable citizen heroes, we again combined professionally recorded radio plays with do-it-yourself scripts that could be performed by students in the classroom.
Besides working with teachers and students, we have over the years directed numerous radio plays for conferences and organizations. www.ravenradiotheaterlive.com. Furthermore these presentations were unique in that they were performed by conference participants with as little as one hour of rehearsal and were warmly and enthusiastically received.
In 1999 we worked on a series for public radio called The Telling Takes Us Home A Celebration of American Family Stories traveling around the United states recording people telling their family stories. You can listen to these stories at our other site http://www.americanfamilystories.org
Paula McHugh is an artist www.paulamchughart.com and has been working on a series of paintings inspired by the titles of American and Celtic fiddle tunes. Joe and Paula are currently touring a new program that combines their storytelling, music and art. www.joeandpaulamchugh.com/concerts.htm

Two weeks ago I visited Europes biggest Crafting and Art Fair "Creativa". I expected a lot of inspiring booths about patchworking, quilting, sewing, felting, papercrafts, painting, etc. I also expected some workshops or live-crafting-acts. But I was disappointed. It was a really big fair but most of the booths were about beading (interesting, but after 20 of them I've had enough of it..) and scrapbooking ( what I don't like much).
But one thing was really impressive. There was a exhibition of Laura McCabe, an american beadweaving-artist. And wow... she makes some freaky jewelry!

Dresden: Lost and Found!2 16 Share Tweet
In the middle of the 1990s I took some photos of Dresden but I lost my film and it was only last year when I found it inside a little box in my library. When I developed the film, the colours are 100% Lomo! All these pictures were taken with a Praktica LB, still 100% working
Dresden is the capital city of Saxony, in Germany, near the Czech border in a valley of the river Elbe. Dresden was known as the Florence of the North, seriously damaged during World War II.
American writer Kurt Vonnegut wrote a book about the bombing of Dresden during World War II (Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade). The consequence of the bombing was the destruction of a great part of the city. Today, the most important monuments were reconstructed; the last one is the Lutheran Church Frauenkirche, which reopened in 2008.
This photo of the Frauenkirche was taken in the middle of the '90s during the reconstruction.
One of the most important buildings is the Zwinger Palace, the residence of August the Strong, designed by Pöppelmann and constructed in stages from 1710 to 1728. August, after his election as Prince of Poland, wanted something similar to the Versailles Palace.
Its garden was used by August for its orange trees garden. Now the palace is used as an exhibitions gallery ad festival arena too.

2 Samuel 3:22-39 New International Version (NIV)
Joab Murders Abner
22 Just then David's men and Joab returned from a raid and brought with them a great deal of plunder. But Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, because David had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. 23 When Joab and all the soldiers with him arrived, he was told that Abner son of Ner had come to the king and that the king had sent him away and that he had gone in peace.
24 So Joab went to the king and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you let him go? Now he is gone! 25 You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing."
26 Joab then left David and sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern at Sirah. But David did not know it. 27 Now when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into an inner chamber, as if to speak with him privately. And there, to avenge the blood of his brother Asahel, Joab stabbed him in the stomach, and he died.
28 Later, when David heard about this, he said, "I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the Lord concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner. 29 May his blood fall on the head of Joab and on his whole family! May Joab's family never be without someone who has a running sore or leprosy[a] or who leans on a crutch or who falls by the sword or who lacks food."
30 (Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.)
31 Then David said to Joab and all the people with him, "Tear your clothes and put on sackcloth and walk in mourning in front of Abner." King David himself walked behind the bier. 32 They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king wept aloud at Abner's tomb. All the people wept also.
33 The king sang this lament for Abner:
"Should Abner have died as the lawless die?
And all the people wept over him again.
35 Then they all came and urged David to eat something while it was still day; but David took an oath, saying, "May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!"
36 All the people took note and were pleased; indeed, everything the king did pleased them. 37 So on that day all the people there and all Israel knew that the king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner.
38 Then the king said to his men, "Do you not realize that a commander and a great man has fallen in Israel this day? 39 And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah are too strong for me. May the Lord repay the evildoer according to his evil deeds!"

When I was a little girl, there was only one person from whom we would order our birthday cakes - Tita Maguit Jalandoni-Legaspi. She made the best mocha and chiffon cakes I have ever tasted and of course, her unrivaled Mocha Sans Rival par excellence. From the time Tita Maguit passed on, the cake making business in Silay was reduced to commercial ones and there was no one who made cakes that tasted as good. Our birthday cakes were never the same again.
...remembering and honoring the past, present and future of my beloved Silay, once called "Paris of Negros"

Over a year ago Ramon Severino Conlu, Jr., the researcher behind The Ledesma Genealogy Book, created a Facebook Group, the Familia Ledesma of Jaro, Iloilo. The group's on-line membership grew from an initial few hundreds to more than a thousand in a few month's time. That was when Ramon and other members like Ekoy Golez, Mardi Mapa Suplido, Ging Palanca and Marie Silva Vallejo began entertaining the idea that a grand reunion could very well happen. A series of monthly meetings were started and the adhoc committee proposed for a three-day affair. Several dates were mentioned but the most feasible was May 24 to 26, 2013. The people in the organizing team knew that it was going to be an ambitious project considering that the Ledesmas are generally not the social type. But then, if not now...when?

Patag: History and Nature's Bounty
On the foothills of Mt. Silay (also known as Mt. Mandalagan) lies the village of Patag, the site of the Japanese military's last stand in Western Visayas during World War II. In 1945, U.S. military forces landed in Negros Island. The occupying forces of the Nagano Detachment of the Japanese Imperial Army retreated to Silay and proceeded up Mt. Silay to Patag where they were prepared to make a stand. My father (they had moved from the city to the haciendas to avoid the Japanese) would tell me stories of how they can hear the passing of the trains filled with the fully armed soldiers. To say that it was scary was an understatement. The Japanese were defeated by military forces of the Philippine Commonwealth and soldiers of the U.S. 40th Infantry Division with help from the local guerrilla fighters. To honor all those who died in that battle, the Japanese government built a Friendship Shrine as a memorial. Not to be outdone, there is also a WWII memorial dedicated to the Filipino and American soldiers.

Status: Video Game Update
So I first got word of this game from over at www.dreadcentral.com
Uncle Creepy posted the synopsis and such and he can describe it better than I, so check it out below!
"Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has just released the first F.E.A.R. 3 screenshots along with a brand new trailer featuring the twisted, paranormal Paxton Fettel. The new trailer features more gameplay footage and dives deeper into the game's story, giving gamers their closest look at F.E.A.R. 3 yet.
Set to release in fall 2010 on the Xbox 360, PS3, and Windows PC, F.E.A.R. 3 is a heart-pounding paranormal horror first-person shooter unleashing intense combat, compelling narrative, and co-op play that evolves the franchise. Alma returns in F.E.A.R. 3, but this time her sons, Point Man and Paxton Fettel, are characters available to play in divergent co-op, giving players distinctly different abilities affecting their own play as well as the experience of their co-op partner. Gamers participate in single-player or co-op modes as Point Man, and they can play cooperatively as his conniving brother, Paxton Fettel, whose incredible telekinetic power has given him life beyond the grave. The game is developed by Day 1 Studios, developer of the original F.E.A.R. console games, in collaboration with Monolith Studios.
To further ensure extreme terror in F.E.A.R. 3, legendary horror mastermind John Carpenter (Halloween) and critically acclaimed horror comic and script writer Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) provided consultation".- Uncle Creepy
The game sounds extremely fun and crazy. I haven't previously played the first or second, so I'm curious. It reminds me of Doom in a lot of ways just with a different story line, but I love Doom. So I can't wait to check this one out! For more information on the game visit www.whatisfear.com
Here are a couple stills from the game and a trailer below so you can get an idea of how fucking cool it's going to be!

I have a paper due next Friday, an assignment due Thursday, plus I've been sick (and lazy) this week so I have a lot of schoolwork to catch up on.
I'd like to think I'm being productive, but that's absolutely not true.
I've got some stuff to write about (as always) but I'm trying to hold off on that until I can feel comfortable with my school situation.
Will be back!

About the Secret Visitors Project
The Secret Visitors Project blog has been set up to support my PhD research at the University of Sydney into the role of pseudoarchaeology in Australian archaaeology.
Archaeologists believe that Australia was settled at least 50,000 years ago by the ancestors of the Aboriginal people. Apart from the appearance of the dingo within the past 5,000 years or so there is no evidence that they necessarily had any contact with the remainder of the world, apart from their nearest neighbours. More than a century of historical and archaeological investigation has developed this view and is supported by all of our human physiological, historical, genetic, linguistic, biological and geographical evidence. Despite this, many people still believe that the Spanish, Portuguese, Egyptians, Chinese, Vikings and others mapped, explored or even settled in Australia. Why?
In this blog I look at the evidence that has been put forward in support of secret visitor claims by advocates over the past two centuries. Much of it has never had a serious critical examination and, frankly, a lot of it doesn't convince or survive well from a steady gaze. We will also meet the people who have put these theories to the public.
My PhD study will develop the first detailed analysis of the more than two centuries of speculation around secret visitors. While it will focus on key individuals such as George Collingridge, Cardinal Moran, Lawrence Hargrave, Arthur Vogan, Michael Terry, Rex Gilroy and Kenneth McIntyre, it will also look at the evidence they have cited, including historical maps, finds of anomalous artefacts and sites around Australia and the theories of cultural contact. I will also be recording oral histories to capture unpublished information and the most recent phase of the secret visitor story.
I hope that others find it useful as a way of reconsidering their own beliefs, and more rigorously looking at the evidence.
About me
I am an archaeologist by training and heritage specialist by career. Currently I work at the New South Wales Roads and Traffic Authority as head of their Heritage team within the RTA's Environment Branch.
I am also a part-time doctoral candidate in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sydney, which is the reason for this blog.
My background is primarily in historical archaeology, and I have worked extensively as a public agency and consultant archaeologist in southeastern Australia. My most recent excavation was at the site of Old Marulan, to the southwest of Sydney.
You can contact me by email on denisg [at] tpg [dot] com [dot] au [just replace the 'at' and 'dot' with the appropriate symbols].
I hope you enjoy the blog, that it stimulates you to think about Australia's past, the nature of evidence and proof, and look forward to hearing from you.

8 Tips On How To Grow Stronger Nails
Learn how to grow stronger nails and show off your hands all year-round.
By: Melissa A. Kay
Time spent in the pool and basking in the sun can cause nails to become dry, brittle and broken. Don't let summer get the best of your. You can prevent and repair this damage with easy-to-do tricks, right at your fingertips. Here's how to grow stronger nails and keep your nails in tiptop shape all summer long.
Love Your Cuticles
Olive oil isn't only great for cooking, it can also work wonders on dry cuticles. Use just a dab on each nail and massage onto each nail bed and the surrounding dry cuticles. Leave the oil on all day to get the most benefit. At nighttime, you can repeat the process so the oil can soak in while you sleep. Cuticle oils work well, too, so look for natural options at your drugstore.
Revive Nail Color with Lemon Juice
Chlorine and repeated use of can cause nails to become yellow or discolored. Lemon juice can take that dullness away and leave you with bright nail tips, back to their natural shade. Squeeze a lemon into a bowl and add some water so the liquid is deep enough to cover your entire nail when you dip your fingers into the bowl. Be sure you are polish-free while doing this lemon cleanse. Leave your fingertips in the lemon-water solution for about 15 minutes each day until your nails are back to normal. Fresh scent and clear nails!
Tip: No need to use gloves when washing dishes anymore. Check out Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay. It's great for hand care while still giving you amazingly clean dishes.
Just Say "No" to Polish Remover
Nail polish remover overuse can be terribly drying to nails and cuticles. Sure, it's fun to change up polish shades, but think about the removal process, too. Try to keep the same color on longer, or go for clear polish for a classic and clean .
If you must use polish remover, remember to seek out milder formulas and only use as much as absolutely needed. Avoid soaking your fingertips in a dish of remover, as that will dry them out, too.
Take a Nail Polish Vacation
One easy way to give your nails a well-needed health kick is to say goodbye to polish for a week or more. Summer is a great time for a natural look and your nails will thank you. Your nails will have time to breathe and strengthen from the inside out. Buffing is safe and will give your nails a natural shine. You will absolutely notice a difference in your nails when you take a mini nail vacation. Ahhhh…
Stay in One Direction
Filing is important to get rid of uneven nails and to keep the shape in check. That said, there is an art to filing that can make a difference in the strength and health of your nails, particularly when they can become dry in the summertime. Filing back and forth seems like the way to go, but it is actually not the best way to file. This can create fine breaks and cracks. File in one direction only or from the outsides in. Use as little pressure as possible and the finest grade filer you can find.
Go All Natural
Acrylics and other glue-on nails may look glamorous, but they can really do a number on the health and strength of the natural nails beneath. Manicurists file down the natural nail bed, leaving it weak and brittle, and the glues are drying and damaging. Additionally, time spent in the pool will reduce how long the artificial nails last, leading to more touch- ups and chemicals. Steer clear of the fakes and let your natural nails see the light of day. This is essential for growing stronger nails.

Tillamook is up next
OK, this will be fun. Speaking at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Tillamook County Library, Main Branch, 1716 Third St., Tillamook (home of the fighting Cheesemakers). Would love to meet up with mystery and thriller fans from northwestern Oregon, if you're around this weekend.
You can learn more at the library's website.
The Oregonian
Ah. Nice write-up in The Oregonian's on-line version about the Spotted Owl award.
Thank you, writer Jeff Baker!
Friends, indeed!
I have just learned that I have been named the winner of the 2011 Spotted Owl Award from the Friend of Mystery, for my thriller "Crashers."
The Friends is an Oregon-based society of mystery and thriller enthusiasts. The Spotted Owl is given to the best mystery novel written by Northwest author.
I couldn't be more honored!
Past winners have included the likes of Kate Wilhelm, Earl Emerson and Phillip Margolin. It's more than a little surreal to think my name will be linked with the likes of these terrific storytellers.
This is the 16th year that the Friends of Mystery have handed out the Spotted Owl. This year's list of candidates included more than 60 novels!
I am humbled. And stunned.

Every now and again that perfect combination of quality ingredients in a weird food combination come along that wows me. The Salad Pizza at Abbot's Pizza Co. in Venice is one of them.
Sure it's not a completely novel idea, greens are common nowadays, especially with gourmet pizza (Gjelina's Arugula Pizza comes to mind). This is different and here's why.
First off, they take a traditional New York Pie crust, nothing fancy shmancy, gourmet. Then they layer a chopped, mixed green, onion, tomato and basil salad on top of a sour cream and olive oil base, top it with Feta cheese and sliced avocados.
The real genius comes in the composition of the pie. The salad and toppings are arranged in such a way that the slice is easy to eat with your hands; the salad part isn't messy and doesn't fall off the slice. The end result is pure satisfaction from a quick slice with bonus points from getting my healthy veggies.
Side Notes: Abbot's Pizza Co. is known for it's bagel crust. Their salad pizza has regular crust, although I think it might be even better with the bagel crust. The vibe is super-casual here, with small tables inside and out for a quick slice. There's also another location in Santa Monica on Pico Blvd.

Hi, my name is Marcel! I'm a Pembroke Welsh Corgi from the countryside who just moved to a big city. My favorite activities are chasing ice cubes around the kitchen floor, attempting to dig holes in concrete sidewalks, trimming low-hanging plants on my morning walks, and trying to tackle the English Bulldog who lives next door. I love meeting new people - come say hi if you ever see me out on a walk.
Hello, my name is Astro and here's my story.
I was out roaming the neighborhood and i was almost hit by a car when a nice man found me & brought me to safety. I was lost, scared,hungry, my ears were infected, very unhealthy and sad. I went to a place where other lost pets were kept. I was there a month,in a glass room all by myself,i got shots, neutered ???, had to wear a cone on my neck, and hurt real bad.
I really felt confused and unloved, only a few people visited me. Then one day a nice couple came to visit me, PET & HUG ME, they gave me a few treats, ...
Ein was born Oct 1, 2008 in Milwaukee, WI. On Dec 5, she took two long flights from the cold North to the sunny and slightly-less-cold South. She now resides in Orlando, FL with a guy and a girl who love her very much. She's alternatively shy and sassy. Her interests include attacking her parents with love, running around like a maniac chasing her toys and then passing out for two hours, digging in her water bowl until all the water is on the floor and she's covered in it, seeing if she can pee on the carpet without us noticing, and sleeping in funny positions. :)

UTA aerospace engineering graduate is the first to successfully flight test unmanned aerial vehicle with mass-actuated controls
Weighted flightA recently graduated University of Texas at Arlington student is the first person to successfully flight test an unmanned aerial vehicle that uses moving weights in its wings instead of traditional control surfaces or ailerons to turn. Sampath Vengate, who graduated in May with a master of science degree in aerospace engineering, used existing UTA research to design, build and test a UAV that uses mass actuation – weights that move back and forth within the wings to change the center of gravity from side to side – to turn while airborne.

Top 10 Aspects of LLC Operating Agreements
The equity investment opportunities presented by RealtyMogul.com are generally structured through "direct participation" investment vehicles like limited liability companies (LLCs). An LLC is governed largely by its operating agreement, which is essentially a contract among the members of the LLC in which the details of the LLC's operations are spelled out.
Operating agreements typically contain complex provisions governing the financial relations among the limited members and the manager, the delegation of management rights and duties, the admission and withdrawal of members, and the dissolution of the LLC, among other matters. For LLCs used in real estate investments, there are several key provisions that should be reviewed in considering how the legal structure may contribute to the overall risks of the transaction.
There's always the possibility that an enterprise will need more funding. It's always preferable to negotiate the sponsor's operating agreement to assure that any such capital calls will be optional-only. If this is done, then the consequences to investors if a capital call does occur will generally be limited to either (1) suffering some dilution of their interest (since members who do contribute will now have an proportionally more capital invested) or (2) the investor being deemed to having taken a loan, from the project company or the contributing members, at a reasonable interest rate for the amount requested but not contributed. Terms vary as to whether the non-contributing member can receive any cash distributions while any such loan remains outstanding.
Related to the capital call provisions, an LLC manager may decide that it needs to bring in new investors in order to raise the necessary additional funds. This is generally fine as long as the new investors are being brought in under the same terms as all other investors. If the manager wants to bring in new investors under different terms, however, this should be allowed only if a "super-majority" of the LLC members (usually those constituting 70-80% of the voting power) approves of such an unusual situation.
Real estate syndications are generally structured so that investors receive a "preferred return" on their investment (often in the 5-10% range), and then receive a share of the remaining cash flow and profits (typically 50-80%), with the sponsoring real estate company receiving the balance (its "promote" share). The provision of the operating agreement detailing this "waterfall" of distributions will describe the order of payouts, whether and how any unpaid amounts are ultimately recouped, and whether "tax payouts" may be required if the company's taxable income will give rise to tax obligations of the limited members.
Passive investors are usually content to let the LLC manager run with the chores of actively managing the property; but if it becomes clear that the job is really being mishandled, LLC members want some means by which the manager can be removed. At the very least, instances of gross negligence or willful misconduct should be causes for removal; most operating agreements also allow for a manager to be removed upon the vote of a "super-majority" of the LLC members, usually those constituting 70-80% of the voting power of the members. Investors sometimes do not control all of the voting rights of an LLC, so care should be taken that a vote provides the desired power in such instances.
Real estate LLCs generally involve "private placements" of securities (the LLC interests), and U.S. securities laws tightly control the transferability of securities that have not been publicly registered with the SEC. In addition, the LLC's operating agreement will often provide for "rights of first refusal" – the right of the company, or of other members, to purchase any interests that a member would like to sell. These provisions give the LLC and its members "first dibs" to take a greater participation in the project if another member wants to sell or transfer its share.
The operating agreement of a real estate LLC usually provides that the manager will not be liable to the limited members for mistakes or errors in judgment that it made in good faith; this is similar to the "business judgment" rule providing similar leeway to directors of a corporation. The manager should not, however, be indemnified in instances of its gross negligence, willful misconduct, or uncured breaches of the operating agreement's terms.
The voting rights of investing members are often limited only to major events such as sales of the property or removal of the manager. It is important, however, to understand the weight of such votes. Some operating agreements provide the sponsor with 50% or more of the voting rights, so that the investors' control rights are essentially nullified.
Sometimes the manager is empowered with making very minor amendments to the operating agreement without consulting the other members; for example, to correct inconsistencies, or if legal counsel recommends adding provisions that would better protect the limited members or are needed to stay compliant with law. Anything else, however, should require at least a majority vote of the limited members, and oftentimes a super-majority vote is advisable to assure that a bare majority doesn't adversely affect the rights of the other 49% of members.
Most real estate syndications provide updates to their members on a quarterly basis, and sometimes more frequently in the event of major new property leases and other material developments. The operating agreement should specify the frequency and timing of these reports, and should also clarify when tax returns will be issued to investors.
These provisions usually arise only when a limited member has significant power within the syndicate, such as holding a majority interest in the overall syndication. In such cases, the investor may want to participate in some major decisions regarding the property (e.g., large leases or over-budget expenses). If there is then a disagreement with the manager over such a major decision, that investor may want either be able to buy out the sponsor company's interest or else to sell its own share back to the sponsor. Sometimes the parties agree to a "forced sale" arrangement where they agree that if such a dispute arises they will simply sell the property.
Operating agreements used by in real estate LLCs can sometimes be very similar, as some degree of conformity has developed over the years. Significant variances remain among individual transactions, however, and unusual operating agreement provisions should be well understood, and the consequences assessed, as part of the investment decision process.

This subproject represents an estimate of the percentage of the CTSA funding that is being utilized for a broad area of research (AIDS research, pediatric research, or clinical trials). The Total Cost listed is only an estimate of the amount of CTSA infrastructure going towards this area of research, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. This proposal for a Clinical and Translational Science Center at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (HSC) will catalyze the emergence of a transformative, novel, and integrated academic home for clinical and translational science at a flagship institution that serves the entire state of New Mexico and the Southwestern region of the U.S. This center will have the infrastructure and consolidated resources to: 1) synergize multi- and interdisciplinary clinical and translational research and researchers to catalyze the application of new l^nowledge and techniques to clinical practice at the front lines of patient care;2) recruit, train, and advance well-trained Interdisciplinary investigators and research teams with strength In cultural sensitivity, health disparity, and biotechnology;3) create an incubator for innovative research and information technologies;and 4) expand existing partnerships between UNM Health Sciences Center (HSC) researchers, practicing clinicians, and communities to speed the development of research. Our vision of the CTSC links and focuses the efforts of our basic, clinical, and translational investigators, community clinicians, clinical practices, health care and research collaborators, and industry partners. Since New Mexico has a high proportion of ethnically diverse (i.e., Hispanic and Native American), rural, medically disenfranchised, and health-disparate populations, a CTSC in New Mexico can uniquely address these problems. The UNM CTSC will draw upon outstanding Institutional commitment (at least $57,802,262 ) to achieve its goals. The UNM CTSC possesses authority over the recruiting, hiring, protected time, expectations, promotion and tenure, and evaluation of its faculty members. Evidence of the commitment and effectiveness of the UNM CTSC In these pursuits are apparent from the following achievements made during the planning process: (1) reorganization of the UNM HSC research mission under a new Vice President for Translational Research with authority over research education, compliance and research functions, (2) establishment of an institutionally-funded K12-llke program, and recruitment of 5 junior faculty, (3) development of Innovative new research education programs, (4) operation of a functionally expanded Participant and Clinical Interactive Resources component that is serving the needs of several community-based studies, Including the landmark, new National Children's Study, (5) the redesign of our institutional approach to Biomedical Informatics and development of a regional clinical data warehouse that will be available to Investigators using a $5.8 M Investment, and (6) construction and renovation of new buildings for the CTSC. Additlonally,UNM's commitment Includes $14.5 M In new institutional funds committed to CTSC programs, and $8.5 M in matching funds to construct new space to create a physical home for the CTSC. Funding of this proposal will assure sustalnabllity and growth of these transformations that Is critically needed to support clinical and translational research at UNM.
The UNM Clinical and Translation Science Center will rapidly escalate transformative scientific discovery Into improved human health outcome.

Here are 3 of my ATCs made for the March UKATC swap group on Yahoo for the theme of Children & Babies.
I used images from Crafty Individuals' Miniatures, People & Places 2 on each card. A lovely collection of glossy photos and drawn images which are very versatile.
For the background top left, I used acrylic paint in orange and yellow splashed onto white card, then stamped the Tim Holtz sentiments in Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade.
The sentiment for the bottom card is from a Doo Lally Pip stamp which I thought went perfectly with the image.

SALT LAKE CITY — The heaviest sentence yet to be handed down in connection with a 2009 murder at a West Valley golf course was issued Thursday.
But Spencer Isaiah Cater, 21, won't spend 20 years to life in prison for JoJo Brandstatt's death. A jury in December acquitted Cater of murder, but convicted him of aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping, first-degree felonies. The charges stem from the kidnapping and robbery of then-drug dealer Gregory Brown, which took place the same day Brandstatt was also kidnapped, shot and killed.
The judge said he had a hard time feeling sympathy for Cater and didn't buy his story that he was simply an observer to the crimes.
"I don't care that Mr. Cater didn't hatch the plan. The thing that matters to me is that he threw in with them," 3rd District Judge William Barrett said Thursday. "He could have left the car and ran like hell, but he didn't. He stayed with them the entire time."
The judge was referring to the February day in 2009 when Cater, Shardise Malaga, 22, Antonie Farani, 17, and Jeremiah Williamson, 29, picked up Brown under the premise of trading a gun for some marijuana and held him hostage during an hours-long crime spree. They are accused of pressuring Brown to come up with money, which led Brown to call Brandstatt.
But Brandstatt was wearing the colors of a rival gang, prompting Farani to allegedly make the decision to shoot the man. Brandstatt was shot three times in what prosecutors call an "execution-style murder."
Investigators say Cater and Malaga were on the golf course when Farani fired the fatal shots.
Brandstatt's mother, Elka Fernandez, said she has struggled to forgive Cater, whom she said has shown no real remorse for his part in her son's death and fails to acknowledge his role in it.
"Dragging this out has caused me and my family so much pain," she said. "The fact that you don't look at JoJo's life as a valuable life angers me. I hope and pray you will take responsibility for your actions that night."
Defense attorney Chad Steur said he understands why Brandstatt's family is angry, but said their angst is "misdirected."
"These crimes were not committed by Spencer Cater," he said. "Spencer Cater was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
He said it was Farani who pulled the trigger. His client was just a kid who was new in town and had unknowingly fallen in with a dangerous group.
"Spencer had gone on this trip to smoke some marijuana," Steur said. "He didn't plan it, he wasn't a member of this group and he did not actively participate in the robbery of Greg Brown. His part was minimal."
But Brown told the judge that everything he has said in prior hearings was true and that Cater was very much a participant in the violent events.
"Spencer Cater had an active role in the kidnapping of myself," Brown said. "He was the first to pull a gun on me. I was most definitely scared that day. I thought my life was gone when I saw that gun and it was Spencer who showed it to me."
Cater's mother, Tracy Barnes, told the judge her son was always a determined, helpful, athletic child who took his role as the "man of the house" and oldest of four children seriously.
"Spencer has never had trouble before. He's usually very wise," she said. "Spencer's always been a great big brother, baby-sitter, son."
Before he was sentenced, Cater apologized to Fernandez, Brown and his family, saying: "I feel like I let them down more than anything." He called his actions a "stupid mistake."
"There's no justifying what happened," he said. "There's no justifying what went down that night. I admit I was young and ignorant. … I was very trusting of people I didn't know."
Prosecutor Stephen Nelson called the case "one of the more violent and disturbing circumstances I've ever seen" and said the only reason Brown lived to talk about what happened is because he managed to escape.
"Greg Brown is lucky to be alive and I truly believe that," Nelson said. "As it was unfolding, it's amazing it happened and not more people were hurt."
The judge ordered Cater to serve two consecutive 10-years-to-life terms for the robbery and kidnapping.
Malaga was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for five felonies, including manslaughter, two counts of kidnapping and unrelated charges of burglary and theft. Williamson pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison. He is now facing an additional second-degree felony charge of obstruction of justice for refusing to testify at Cater's trial.
Farani has been certified to face charges as an adult in 3rd District Court. His case is currently pending.

World news story
E3+3 talks with Iran in Vienna conclude on 24 November with further extension agreed to 30 June 2015
Progress made during intensive talks in Vienna trying to bridge the significant gaps which remain, leaving hope for a final deal
Talks in Vienna have concluded with agreement for a further extension to negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme. The E3+3 (UK, US, Russia, China, France and Germany), the European External Action Service (EAS) and Iran have been attempting to broker a deal over the extent of Iran's current and future nuclear programme. After the self-imposed deadline passed on 24 November without a final deal agreed, talks were extended until 30 June 2015. But both sides are committed to a deal and have agreed to continue negotiations, aiming to secure a political framework for a final deal in four months, with a further three months to work out the technical detail. The extension does not mean a pause - talks will continue in December.
The British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond hosted a meeting in Vienna at the British Ambassador's Residence on 23 November with US Secretary of State John Kerry, Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and EU High Representative Baroness Catherine Ashton attending. Philip Hammond summed up the intensive efforts to secure a deal and keep the momentum going:
We're all focused on trying to get to a deal … but there are still some very tough and complex issues to deal with. Everyone is talking about how we are trying to bridge that gap and take things forward.
Talks on Iran's nuclear program began in 2004 between Iran and the UK, France and Germany, with the US, China and Russia joining negotiations in 2006. Since the November 2013 round of negotiations in Geneva and agreement on the Joint Plan of Action, the last twelve months have seen considerable political and technical effort to close remaining differences. A comprehensive deal would be a major breakthrough. For the international community it would mean: reassurance that Iran's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful and a safer region at a time of great unrest and instability. For Iran, it would mean the ability to trade freely with the world again and to reset relationships with the international community.

What did you study whilst at Cadbury?
I studied English Language and Literature, History, Law, Psychology (AS) and I also completed the Extended Project in A2.
How was your college experience?
I adored my time at Cadbury! The community of students and lecturers were welcoming and warm hearted. Everyone has a like-minded attitude to education and are focused on securing the next step on the way to their dream careers. I left with a wealthy amount of friends, knowledge and satisfaction.
What did you do after college?
I chose to go to Birmingham City University to study a BA in English. At the time, I wasn't really sure on what career I wanted to specialise in, so the course gave me the chance to explore all professional avenues under the English banner (the students and staff are super friendly too!) After realising my passion lay with drama and creative writing modules, I started developing a writing portfolio of poetry, short stories, plays and journalistic articles in preparation for a career in professional writing.
What experience did you gain whilst at university?
After reading some of my poetry on live radio, I gained an internship with BBC Birmingham in broadcast media production. It gave me the opportunity to experience a high calibre of journalism in a fun, exploratory environment. I also entered writing competitions which resulted in my poetry and short stories being published in online and print magazines. Alongside my internships, I managed to gain positions at Asian World News and NUBI Magazine as a journalist/columnist/guest writer. I headed the PR team for the XX VOTE campaign for Youth Media Agency (a national campaign to get more young women to vote in the 2015 general election) and was lucky enough to secure a daytime presenter role on 107.5 Switch Radio, with the aim of interviewing inspirational young creatives from Birmingham and beyond. With the help of my internships and dedicating long, tiresome nights to studying (trust me, they'll be a lot of them!) I graduated in July 2016 with a 2:1 with honours.
What now?
I would like to complete a masters in English with a focus on ethnic literature and media, however I have taken a gap year out to practise writing freelance. I am starting an online platform to publish my articles and creative pieces (poetry, stories etc.) surrounding my experiences as a black woman travelling and working in Asia. I am currently working in India for three months writing and empowering young women to become educated and build feministic bonds. Hopefully, I will be able to travel to other parts of Asia to get a fuller, vast understanding of eastern perceptions of race, privilege and identity. Upon my return, I will tour across universities and colleges hosting talks around my findings and how they can be used to help improve attitudes towards race and identity in the UK.

Other Systems
Ontario Drug Distribution and Monitoring Program (ODDMP)
Some doctors register Ontario patients with the ODDMP HIV Drug Project Centre. It is based at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. The Project Centre covers the cost of certain medications (e.g., some antiretrovirals, aerosolized pentamidine). Designated hospital pharmacies can fill these prescriptions. Your physician completes a form and sends it to the Centre. The Centre keeps your name in a confidential registry. Ontario Drug Benefits (ODB; see below) covers some of the Project Centre medications. ODB covers them when the medications are in a combined formulation.
Special Access Program (Health Canada)
Some medications are not yet licensed or marketed in Canada. To obtain them, your physician contacts the Health Protection Branch of Health Canada. The physician makes a specific request on your behalf. The drug has to be listed in the Special Access Program (SAP), through a regulatory exemption. These drugs are often (but not always) provided free of charge by the manufacturer. You may have to pay a dispensing fee. The Special Access Program was once called the Emergency Drug Release Program. The term "compassionate access" is also sometimes used to describe this way of obtaining a medication. The medication might be obtained through what is called an Expanded Access Protocol at a clinic site. The term "Expanded Access" is not to be confused with the new Ontario mechanism "Exceptional Access" (Section 2 A iv). Sometimes, the SAP drug will move to lower levels of complexity. For example, it might move to the Ontario Drug Benefits system. In that case, it could be under Exceptional Access in Ontario, then Limited Use (or skip that step), then Facilitated Access, etc.
Public Health Department (syphilis or tuberculosis)
Public Health provides drug payment for treatment of syphilis and tuberculosis. Access is through the provincial or local departments of public health. You do not need health insurance (i.e., OHIP, Interim Federal Health). In most cases, you obtain the medications at the public health department. In some cases you obtain the drug from your physician or pharmacy. Sometimes a drug that treats TB is used to treat another condition (e.g., rifabutin for MAC). In that case, the other drug coverage mechanisms apply.
Workplace Safety Insurance Board
The WSIB drug benefit program in Ontario pays for prescription drugs for workers. The drug must be related to the workplace injury or illness. One example of getting HIV through work is a needlestick injury. WSIB would likely cover the medication costs. Pharmacies can set up online billing. There is no obligation to use the WSIB program if there are other ways to pay for the medications. For questions regarding the WSIB Drug Benefit Program, contact their Health Care Access Line at (416) 344-4526 or toll-free (800) 569-7919.
Patient Assistance Programs
Many hospital HIV clinics and HIV primary care physicians can apply for short-term compassionate access. They must document a reason for requesting the drug free of charge. For example, there is no other way to cover the cost. The pharmaceutical company supplies the medication. Other drug coverage mechanisms need to be explored. Each free drug supply usually lasts for one to three months. Some AIDS Service Organizations in Ontario facilitate PAP medication for their clients. They help to organize the paperwork. One example of such a window into PAP drugs is the HIV Medication Access Program (H-MAP) at the Toronto PWA Foundation.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis
PEP is the need and procedure for HIV-related medications right after exposure to the human immunodeficiency virus, where there is reasonable expectation that the incident posed a risk of infection. It might be a broken condom during sexual intercourse, or sharing a needle for intravenous injection. Immediate drug treatment for one-month, at a cost of about $1,500.00, can prevent infection. To obtain prescriptions without delay, the typical entry point is a hospital Emergency Department. Unless accessed through ODB, the patient pays the costs of the medications "up front" when filled.

Today's featured continuing character is Deryl, the psychic in the Mind Over Trilogy by Karina Fabian.
Continuing Characters: A series of interviews featuring continuing characters and the authors who know them best.
The Mind Over Trilogy by Karina Fabian begins with Mind Over Mind (2011), published by Dragon Moon Press. It is also available as a Kindle ebook.
Deryl Stephens is the psychic character in the Mind Over Trilogy, the first book of which came out in August 2011 (Mind Over Mind). At 13, Deryl's telepathic abilities manifested to an uncontrollable level, driving him insane. After five years in an asylum where no one believes in his ability save one psychiatrist who uses him as a case study, Deryl is cynical, hopeless and suspicious of the new intern, Joshua, hired to try to befriend him and help him redevelop his social skills. Joshua will instead take him at his word and try to help him control his psychic abilities, which will make all the difference in the world.
"A gilded cage is still a cage. Never mind. Just a passive-aggressive response to my incarceration." --From Mind Over Mind
Questions for Deryl
Note: Characters are interviewed in "talk show" mode, where they can be themselves without fear of anything they say getting back to their fictional setting. Deryl's interview is from just before Mind Over Mind.
Q. Psychic powers! How exciting. What's it like?
(laughs) You really want to know? Because I can show you. I can bring you into my mind. I'll strip away your identity and replace it with a revolving cast of strangers who don't know anything about you, don't care, and don't believe in psychic abilities, anyway. Even if they did, they wouldn't know how to guard their thoughts. You won't just know the problems of the couple next door--you'll feel them. How about the mailman's lower back pain? Want to forget ten years' of schooling? There's a kid walking down the street--just wait. You'll know just how much that scraped knee stings, too. Come on--open your mind to me and I'll toss you in--see if you can claw your way back out to your own skin and remember your own name.
That's what being psychic is to me. It's not cool. It's not fun. It's pure, unrelenting torture, and if my control slips for even a minute, it's insanity--except the voices in my head are real.
Q. How do you stand it?
I didn't for a long time. I just did my best to deal with it, looked in the mirror reciting my name a lot, and hoped I'd find someone, somewhere to believe me. Then when...well, things got too much, I tried to kill myself. That's when I got committed. I don't recommend either course of action. There are months of my life I don't even remember, and I don't ever want to. I don't know how I clawed back to sanity--I'd honestly believe an angel helped me, except that then it abandoned me in SK-Mental. That's where I am today--desperately trying to shield my mind against the truly crazy people, where the staff tolerates my peculiarities. Malachai--Dr. Josias Dolfus Malachai--believes in my abilities, but he just wants to study me, make me his guinea pig, maybe try to find that "psychic center" of the brain and activate it in others. How heinous is that?
So I'm marking time, wishing for but not expecting a miracle.
He's got a lot of work to do before he can live anything like a normal life, if living among psychic aliens who think he's some kind of savior. However, his experiences have given him compassion and a unique look on life that is going to be vital in how he handles the challenges in the next books.
Lots more confusion and pain. (Sorry, dude.) The Master isn't going to let go of him so easily; Tasmae is even freakier in person than she is in his mind, and he is going to have to save two worlds with his limited knowledge, extensive imagination and some true grit. But it's not all bad. Tasmae's as attractive as she is bizarre, and once he helps her through the crazy bits, they'll get along just fine. Joshua, the psychiatric intern and his best friend, will be there to rescue him when he needs help, as will Joshua's fiancé and Deryl's other friend, Sachiko. Plus, Deryl will do a lot of healing of his past and forge himself a wonderful and calmer, if not "normal" life. Who knows? He might even get bored now and then.

Excerpt:Â The state of the liberal mind is on display on this week's cover of Time magazine. The already notorious cover takes the iconic photograph of U.S. Marines planting the American flag on Iwo Jima and substitutes a tree for the flag.

Good NT resource for Android users
As a fairly new owner of a smart phone running the Android OS, I was happy to find a Greek NT resource for only $0.99. This app, called simply "Westcott-Hort Greek New Testament" (don't groan – see below), is based off that outdated but public domain edition, but is enhanced with morphological tagging, lexical data (from Strong's, but please don't hold that against it), and notes on significant variant readings from NA27 to mitigate deficiencies in the outdated Westcott-Hort text uncovered since 1881. The text of the AV is available by clicking on the verse numbers.
There are a couple interface issues, such as (currently) not giving the option to go to a particular verse; one must simply navigate to it from within its chapter. But hey, it beats paying more for other apps to give you access to the Greek NT, usually with fewer features than this app offers. If you'd like to try it out, remember that Android Market lets you refund your purchase within 24 hours with only the click of a button. Highly recommended.Tagged with: Android • Bible • Greek • NA27 • software • Westcott-Hort
