Hello. My name is Grahame Flynn and I am the Chief Executive Officer at Devon in Sight.
Devon in Sight is a local charity providing a range of practical help and advice to people affected by sight loss, with the aim of promoting independence, well-being and choice.
Our registered charity name is Devon County Association for the Blind and we were formed in 1925. In 2011 we adopted the new working name of Devon in Sight.
Throughout our history we have worked to provide practical help to people who are blind or partially sighted across the county. We have journeyed with individuals over the years as they have learned to live with acquired sight loss and we have often become friends in the process.
Much has changed since 1925. Sights testing, diagnosis and clinical treatments for sight conditions have been transformed, but the experience of living with sight loss can still be traumatic. Our aim is to support you, the people you live with and other professionals by providing impartial advice and support on a whole range of issues. If we don't know the answer we probably know someone who does!
Our Services
- Our Community Support Service team can run through our innovative 'Sight Loss MOT' to help you identify where you need advice, support and training to help you improve your quality of life.
- Our Sight Loss Adviser can help you with a range of equipment and training to help you adjust to your sight loss.
- Information and advice on sight loss social groups and other community based support groups.
- Providing up to date news and information to our members through our quarterly newsletter and website
- Raising awareness of preventable sight loss and of the support available across the county
- We work with other voluntary and statutory organisations in Devon to develop effective strategies to improve the lives of people with sight loss.
Our Values
Everything we do is underpinned by our core values:
- We put people with sight loss at the centre of everything we do
- We work in partnership with other service providers
- We strive to provide the best possible service
Our Vision
Our Vision for the next three years is to be a 'Centre of Excellence' for people in Devon affected by sight loss.
Our Strategy
Given the challenging financial climate, and changes to health and social care services, achieving our vision won't be easy. But we believe we should strive to provide the best quality services that are available.
To help us achieve our vision, our strategy for the future is:
- To develop effective working partnerships with key organisations in the sector so that we can be sure that we have a clear and focused role in the care pathway for people with sight loss in Devon.
- We need to make sure we can demonstrate the impact of our services to current and potential funders, so we need to develop outcome measures for all our services.
- We believe that we are most likely to attract funding from individuals, trusts and other grant makers by doing a great job for people with sight loss – so we will make sure that they are at the centre of everything we do, and that we continue to strive to deliver excellent services.
- More than ever, we need to carefully manage all expenditure; making sure we are getting good value for money from all our suppliers and avoiding any unnecessary costs. We are also developing corporate partnerships to help reduce our direct costs.
- We need to look creatively at how we deliver services in the medium to longer term, and put all options on the table to ensure we can provide support for people with sight loss in the future – even if it means making bold and difficult decisions.
We hope you share our passion for continuing to deliver essential support for people as they learn to live with sight loss. Our success will depend on us all – as staff, trustees, customers, suppliers, volunteers and donors working together to meet the challenge ahead.Grahame Flynn
Chief Executive Officer

It's been nearly two years since I first took a look at the Alienation Bullitt hubset for review. I have been using them ever since, they sure are a sweet wheelset and can take a hiding. Even two years later the colour is still as vibrant, the hubs still spin forever and the cassette doesn't miss a beat (without any servicing at all). Well Alienation and ECI, the Australian distributor, shipped me a new set of wheels with the Alienation Royal hubset, built into a Deviant front rim and a Runaway rear rim. A sweet build to say the least, but I have learned to expect nothing less from the Alienation brand. I have to say everything that I have seen from Alienation has been impressive, which is why I consider Alienation one of my favourite brands, and it's why I continue to use their grips and hubs on my race bike.
With the Royal hubset Alienation continues to push boundaries and do things their own way. The cassette mechanism for the Royal hub is the exact same as the Bullitt hub.
It's the engagement system that sets the cassette mechanism apart from others. Most hubs engage at 10 degrees, King is 6, Ringle is 10 and Alienation are 12 which is the mountain bike standard set by Shimano.
There are many advantages over other hubs
Alienation's design sacrifices engagement for an effortless hub with minimal drag. The theory behind it all is based on the fact that tracks are a lot more technical now than they ever have been. You might have a sprint down the first straight on a track but for the rest of the track you need to pump, manual or jump your way through with little opportunity for pedalling. Decreasing the drag and allowing the hubs to spin more freely provides a massive advantage over a couple of hundred meters.
In a world that's going crazy over engagement points I'm glad that Alienation aren't beeing sucked into that vortex. There's something about their hubs, it's like a statement to the BMX world that you can race for the most engagement points and we'll just get our riders to the finish line as quickly as possible. A two finger salute if you will, to say I will not conform.
Like the Bullitt hubs, the Royal hubs have a bit of a throw back look about them, a homage to BMX past perhaps. I have heard a number of people say they look like the old Campagnolo Track hubs, which is probably more the case because I have the polished hubs.
The biggest differences between the Bullitt and the Royal is obviously how they look, the Royal has a more stripped back, bare bones look about it, but there is a noticable weight savings when you look at the numbers.
|Alienation Royal
|200 grams
|310 grams
|Alienation Bullitt
|300 grams
|380 grams
|Profile Elite
|192 grams
|362 grams
|Profile mini with ti driver
|224 grams
|374 grams
Even compared to Profile hubs, which I look at as a benchmark, mostly because they are so common, the Royal Hubs should satisfy the weight weenies.
How do they feel to ride? They don't engage immediately, but then again very few hubs do, so that wasn't new or unexpected, and after finding out more about how the hubs work and why they do what they do it's understandable. When it comes to accelerating they work just fine, I'd go as far as saying perfectly. I found they roll exceptionally well too.
The hubs come in a limited colour range, I love the polished, but there's also black and white.
Comes in 28 and 36 hole version.
One thing with the Alienation hubs that I really like is the adjustable chain alignment. Sure, it probably comes standard on most hubs, I haven't really noticed. But changing your chain alignment is as simple as removing the cog and spacers and reconfiguring them to suit your needs. That's something you can't do with a freewheel.
Before we wrap up Alienation also sent a modified Bullitt hub to show exactly how the hub works. Remember the Bullitt and the Royal use the same driver and hardware, it's the hub shell that's different.
In this photo you can see how all of the six pawls engage and disengage simultaneously. A keen eye would see that the pawls are built into the hub and not into the driver. Of all the hubs we have ever looked at this is very unique to Alienation.
Spin, spin, spin... if you want to see some of the best spinning hubs in the business make sure you check out some Alienation Royal Hubs.
Rating 20/20:
|Value for money:
Alienation are distributed in Australia by Elite Cycle Imports. For more information about Alienation check out www.alienationbmx.com.

New Spore news sends us back to the Stone Age
By now I'm sure a lot of us know a little bit about Will Wright's Spore. Its premise has the player in control of the most basic form of life, and must evolve the creature over time. There are five phases of life we'll see in Spore — the Cell Phase is first, followed by the Creature Phase, Tribal Phase, Civilization Phase, and finally Space Phase. Like they've done for the last few weeks, EA has now released information about the Tribal Phase of the game and what we can expect to see in terms of gameplay.
The stage begins with your tribe being the first on their planet to discover tools. With these tools you can pick fruit or go on a hunt with your fellow tribesmen and, while you're at it, you can also capture and ultimately domesticate animals. However, food is the most important thing at this level of the game and sort of acts as your currency. Using food, you can choose to befriend other tribes and purchase more tools and accessories for your own tribe.
The main goal of the Tribal Phase is to either defeat or form an alliance with five other tribes on round rock, which leads to the forming of your civilization and, you guessed it, the Civilization Phase. Super powers will also be available for you to use and depending on how you played the previous phases, you'll be given access to two out of six unique powers.
We can all get in touch with our inner amoeba when Spore pops into existence on September 7, 2008.

Birder, sports fan, teacher — Peter Cashwell deals in boundaries all day long: the characteristics that distinguish a Carolina wren from a Bewick's wren; the line that divides a basketball that's out from one that's in; the fine line between vernacular and Standard English usage. So it was natural that his second book project would tackle boundaries and their meanings.
I asked Peter to answer our standard five questions (plus bonus) about his latest book, Along Those Lines, but he cautioned me that he had swapped questions one and two — "For a reason. I started work on this book before I had the idea for it."
In this interview you'll learn:
- The value of a skill you might (or might not) have learned in high school
- How a long writing project is like building with LEGOs
- The ways in which experts, colleagues, and friends can enrich your writing
HDYWT: How did you begin work on Along Those Lines?
Peter: Along Those Lines had its genesis in my first book, The Verb 'To Bird'. As I described some of my birding experiences in various states—Delaware, Iowa, South Carolina, etc.—I decided to make it a personal quest to see a life bird (a bird I'd never seen before in my life) in each of the 50 states. Not only would I have a lot of fun traveling and birding, I could write about the experience, and bam, a second book. I could call it "Fifty-Fifty" or something.
I thus started writing about the places I was going, as well as the birds I was seeing, and because I'm a geography geek as well as a birder, I sometimes found myself discussing the geography of my target states—the weird layout of Maryland's borders, or the insane time-zone-hopping I had to do in the Four Corners area—as well as the birding issues that sometimes arose because scientists had changed their minds about which birds belonged to which species.
HDYWT: How did you come up with the idea for this project?
Peter: By the time I got near the halfway point of "Fifty-Fifty," I showed the manuscript to an agent, and he offered a rather cold, but very useful, observation. The birding parts, he said, were mostly boring, simply recounting the birds that could be seen by anyone who went to those places. The interesting parts were the ones where I addressed the issue of the borderlines between states and time zones; that was a topic that nobody else was writing about.
I thought about his comments, and I realized he was right; after all, I'd had a lot more fun writing about the boundary issues than just recounting my sightings in California and West Virginia, so why wouldn't that be true for the reader as well?
At that point, I shifted my focus; instead of a personal narrative about birding, a topic I knew well, I was now writing an examination of boundaries, and that meant I'd have to educate myself. Luckily, I know some very smart people who educate others professionally.
HDYWT: How do you organize your research?
Peter: I started by asking myself which aspects of human life were divided by lines, and I very quickly realized there were too many to use in a single book. That suggested a different question: who did I know who could talk about these aspects in an interesting way? Some of my colleagues at Woodberry Forest School immediately leaped to mind, not only because of their expertise in their subject areas, but also because of their extracurricular knowledge. I also had other experts farther afield, some of whom I'd known for years, and thanks to a sabbatical working at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology back in 2011, I knew a few big names there.
My art experts, though, were more serendipitous finds. I had followed Ursula Vernon's work on the web, and I knew she was a birder, so I emailed her out of the blue in hopes that our mutual interest might incline her to sit for an interview. To my surprise, she was a fan of The Verb 'To Bird', and she could not have been more enthusiastic or more knowledgeable about the use of lines in art. My discovery of Shawn Smith's sculptures, as I mention in the book, was a complete fluke, and I feel very lucky to have seen his work in D.C. and to have gotten him on the phone for an interview.
Once I had the names of my interviewees, I had to assemble questions for each one, and that was challenging; I was trained in English and creative writing, not journalism, so I struggled a bit with the interview process. I would usually have a little bit written about the subject area before I interviewed my expert, but I was definitely improvising a lot in order to get follow-up questions written.
HDYWT: What does a typical day of research/writing/promotion look like?
Peter: I wish I knew. I don't think I have a typical day. I write when I can make time for it, and since I teach, that often means I'm writing at odd hours, or grinding out long stretches of text in unusual places. A lot of this book was written in the Sapsucker Lounge at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, with me perched on a table near the window looking out over a pond full of waterfowl, and if I had my druthers, I'd write like that all the time.
HDYWT: What are your favorite tools in your writer's toolbox?
Peter: One thing I learned from the interview process: knowing how to touch-type is a HUGE advantage when you're taking notes. Keeping up with an Abigail James or a Matt Boesen would be damn near impossible if you had to use a hunt-and-peck approach. If you haven't taken that typing class, give it some real thought, folks.
For this book, I also found myself using two online tools that most writers use, but perhaps not the way I did. First, I was Googling like a madman on a wide variety of topics. Sometimes in my reading, whether in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology library or my own, I'd come across a reference to a study or an incident that looked useful, and then I'd have to track it down on the web. That occasionally required creative application of search terms; if you don't think ahead about the terms you're using, you'll often get 150,000 haystacks containing 150 needles among them. If you take a more active, more precise approach to setting up your terms, you can get ten or twelve needles in a single bunch of hay.
The other tool, one which is hideously easy to misuse, is Wikipedia. As I tell my students, it is not a reliable source for a research paper! It is, however, a terrific place to get both an overview of a topic and a bunch of links to sources that do offer information that a researcher can rely on.
Finally, to keep making progress and maintain my sanity, I would often need to ask questions of other writers, or sometimes just vent about the frustrations I was going through. That's where the forum at BookBalloon.com became extraordinarily important to me.
Bonus question: As a full-time teacher, avid birder, and writer, how do you maintain momentum on a long-term project like a book?
Peter: LEGOs are a topic that came up in the book several times, and in some ways they're a great metaphor for my writing: you have to work one brick at a time. Eventually you'll have enough bricks to make the thing look like a house, or a castle, or the Alamo, but you have to put them together one at a time. And every day, that pile of bricks will look slightly more like the Alamo than it did before… or at least not any less like the Alamo.

What Luck Betide Us
The Factory
Located roughly forty miles to the east of the Emperor's Gate Inn, this mysterious factory was apparently built by planewalkers from Oerth. As part of the process, they cleared the land for several miles around the structure, possibly for materials and possibly also to maintain adequate sight lines. The factory contained some manner of portal to Sigil at its heart, and investigation determined that it was built by devotees of deep chaos as a site to build and experiment with chaositech.
Zealot Shadowhate came to Khemenelda in search of this factory, claiming to have encountered another such site on Toril. This factory was apparently built atop the site of a fellow planewalker's hut, one which also contained a gate to Sigil at its heart.
In addition to Shadowhate, Bosabrieln, Dareisyn, Desire'lya, Godfrey, and Duchess Juvela all came to the factory and dispatched its inhabitants. They then burned the structure to the ground.

|Helen Wagner
|September 3, 1918
Lubbock, Texas, United States
|Robert Willey (1954–2009) his death
Helen Wagner (born September 3, 1918) is an American actress. She was born in Lubbock, Texas.
Wagner has played matriarch Nancy Hughes on the soap opera As the World Turns (with only a few interruptions), since the show's debut in April 1956. She is acknowledged by the Guinness Book of Records as being the longest-running character played by one actor on television.[1] Wagner spoke the first lines of the program: "Good morning, dear."
On November 22, 1963, about ten minutes into that day's broadcast of As the World Turns, a scene in which Wagner's character was conferring with her father-in-law ("Grandpa" Hughes, played by Santos Ortega) was interrupted by Walter Cronkite's first news bulletin that President John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas, Texas (This bulletin was audio only as the studio camera was not ready until 20 minutes later). Wagner later remembered that she and Ortega continued with the scene (which was being broadcast live as was the norm in those days) despite the broadcast interruption, unaware of the unfolding national tragedy until they were told about it once the scene was finished. ([1])
She has taken some breaks, both voluntary and involuntary. After six months in the role of Nancy, show creator Irna Phillips fired her because she did not favor the way Wagner poured coffee. After an overwhelming consensus was reached to hire her back, Irna did so begrudgingly.
Wagner left the show again in the early 1980s. Then-producer Mary-Ellis Bunim wished to take the show in a different direction; the show fell out of the top slot in the daytime Nielsen ratings, and Bunim wished to gear the program toward the younger generation by showcasing the Hughes family less. Wagner and co-star Don MacLaughlin walked away from the show after vocal dissent in the press. However, she returned to the role in 1985, and in 1986 Wagner and an ailing Don MacLaughlin were prominently featured in the show's 30th anniversary celebration, where their characters, Nancy and Chris Hughes, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. After the death of McLaughlin in 1986, Nancy became a widow and later met and married Dan McClosky played by Dan Frazer. Wagner later was part of a storyline where Dan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. After many years of little to no part in the story, Wagner returned to the screen with a pivotal role in a 2004 storyline, revolving around her grandson's marriage to naïve teenager Alison Stewart (played by Jessica Dunphy). 2005, 2006 and 2007 also proved to big years for Nancy, as she averaged around three appearances a month. 2008 saw Wagner have a sharp decrease in the number of episodes she was featured in, only appearing twice that year. In 2009, Wagner was notably absent from April onwards and her character didn't even make an appearance when her son Bob had a brain tumor removed. Wagner returned to the screen on 25th November 2009, during ATWT's Thanksgiving episode.
Although Wagner has played Nancy for more than 50 years, she has never won a Daytime Emmy Award for her work. She was finally awarded a "Lifetime Achievement Award" for her role on the show in May 2004. She was also prominently featured in the show's 50th anniversary episode in April 2006.
In 1988, Wagner's alma mater, Monmouth College (IL), awarded her with an honorary degree of "Doctor of Humane Letters". The following year, Wagner chaired a national committee that raised more than $1 million to replace the school's "little theater" with a state-of-the-art theater. On the opening night in Monmouth's new Wells Theater ([2]), Wagner played the role of Eleanor in The Lion In Winter.
Wagner also played the role of Trudy Bauer during the first few television years of Guiding Light in the early 1950s.

Iran presidential contenders in their own wordsClick here for original story at IranMania
Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - �2005 IranMania.com
LONDON, June 22 (Iranmania) - Iran is facing one of the starkest election choices in its history, between the ultra-conservative mayor of Tehran and an increasingly moderate cleric pushing for better ties with the West, AFP reported.
With accusation and counter-accusation flying like never before in an Iranian election campaign, here are Mahmood Ahmadinejad and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in their own words.
Rafsanjani: "I believe that if the Americans renounce their hostile stance and show goodwill, the road will be prepared for negotiations."
"The United States is the most important country in the world and Iran is the most important country in the region, so it is logical that they solve their problems."
Ahmadinejad: "In the past, the Americans broke off relations with Iran to create pressure. If they want to re-establish them now it is for the same reasons. We do not want to have imposed relations."
"The US administration cut off ties unilaterally to lay waste to the Islamic republic. They want to restore them today for the same reason."
Rafsanjani: "I have always been hostile to the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons. But it is not acceptable for us to renounce (uranium) enrichment" for civilian purposes.
"We can reach an accord, but I cannot predict when that will happen."
Ahmadinejad: "The Iranians want to possess civilian nuclear technology. The world should know that it cannot contain this effort.
"We will discuss in a rational way and if they accept our legitimate right (to enrich), we will cooperate. Otherwise nothing will force the Iranians to comply with their demands."
"We do not need" a nuclear weapon. "This does not correspond with our culture and Islamic beliefs."
Rafsanjani: "We have to increase the role of women in national decision making."
Ahmadinejad: "I believe women have certain qualities, such as being responsible and precise."
"Some draw fake lines between men and women as if they were two different classes. We all belong to the same nation and must not have a sexist attitude."
"It is a big lie to say that, if the country turns revolutionary, managers will only care about women's scarves slipping back."
Rafsanjani: "There are new demands. Nobody should think that we can act by employing the same literature, the same policies or the same attitudes that we had at the beginning of the revolution or at the end of the (Iran-Iraq) war."
"The situation is changing rapidly. To respond to the legitimate demands of this new generation, new solutions are necessary."
Ahmadinejad: "A young person who sports a certain outfit or haircut is dear to us and an asset to the country. We have to attract them by kindness, a nice attitude and creating an ideal atmosphere."
"There is an organised promotion of decadence and it is up to the government to find a solution and protect people."
Rafsanjani: "Our red line is the law. Everyone must apply the law, but I do not think that criticising the supreme leader should be a reason to imprison somebody."
"Our press is in a good situation and their freedom can develop. We cannot fight against satellite television and the Internet."
Ahmadinejad: "In our democratic system, liberty is already beyond what could be imagined."
Rafsanjani: "The government must resolve the problem of inflation and the cost of living. We must attract more foreign investment, competitiveness and privatisation."
Ahmadinejad: "National resources must be freed from the state and given to people to use them for the advancement of the country. There must be justice and equal opportunities for all."
"Unemployment, marriage and housing are the main priorities. Our government will support the poor, but that is not to say it will be against others."
"As for joining WTO, we will enter the organisation with a powerful economy. We will not definitely open the doors if industries and agriculture would be sabotaged. We will give precise study before doing so."
Rafsanjani: "Before the revolution I was among the rich seminary students. After the victory of the revolution, I gradually spent my assets on living, my children and the revolution. Now I only have a plot of land in city of Qom and I do not have any house or land in Tehran."
Ahmadinejad: "I declared all my assets as the constitution orders. I live on a teacher's salary and thank God I'm content."
"My biggest asset is huge -- it is my love for serving people, and nothing can compare to that.
"A revolutionary manager is not empowered by expensive office accessories and several secretaries."

I hope my tendency to make pictures with words translates well to an internet where pictures kind of make up the large part of pictures. This is the way I work. I like to add clip art or something along that line sometimes. Other times, I just have to ramble a bit before plunging in. This piece will be familiar to close friends. It is the result of a writing assignment to describe my back yard, which, as I like to say, I utterly failed at. But the title stuck. I hope the images do too. They will be unique to each reader, which is pretty cool when you think about it.
The Back Yard
The back yard spreads all the way from the farmhouse to the Rainbow Cliffs of the High Dragon Seas. The ideal time to see the namesakes of these dangerous waters is after a storm. The churning from the winds tends to rouse them up from the depths. On occasion a dragon will appear, restless and grudging, spraying great salty flumes about himself, stretching his cold wet wings, and ruffling his spiky head with a shake, all the while watching the swirl of unending skies above him. Rarely do any of them venture onto land or beyond the beach. They may slumber in the depths of the ocean, but the sky is their kingdom, the wind their throne, and the sun their god.
A little farther inland, our pasture grass is clipped by a herd of friendly miniature horses. They roam about, sensible of the cliff hedging them on one side, and on the other side the stone wall winding along a timeworn byway that passes through our farm. At night they burrow into mounds of fresh straw inside the old wooden barn. Each morning one of us will walk out to the gate and usher our fuzzy, snorting herd across the public byway into the pastures on the other side. When it is my turn, I usually pause beneath the drooping wisteria tree to look out over our home. The pastures provide the finest view of sea and skies beyond the land. There is always the background music of whispering trees, singing birds, and what we call mini-whinnies. When I walk back inside, the perfume of the wisteria blossoms clings to my clothing like soft colors you can only just see.
The farmhouse is built from white stone quarried centuries ago, and has a recent wooden addition, perhaps only two or three hundred years old. This time of year it is surrounded by blossoming fairy bushes, and the meadows are colored as much by blue violets and ripening strawberries as they are by grass and sweet clover. The land is magically tended by the grateful fairies in return for our protecting the flowers that are the source of their favorite nectars. Most people find it a nuisance to abide fairies on their property, not that there's much chance of keeping them out should they extend their preferences. We find them helpful, because no matter how regularly our little herd foals, no matter how much they graze, their home pasture remains thick with flowers and many other sweet nibbles. The fairies and the ponies have come to love one another very much, besides. To tamper with that communion of half wild hearts would only result in grief and trouble, so we do our part to encourage the way things are.
The orchard is faltering a bit these days. There are fewer golden apples and more fallen limbs. The suffering of the trees in the face of wild, pressing sea winds throughout the year has worn on them. But in the orchard is a strange, new tree. We recently learned it was a mimosa tree: an exotic, feathery looking thing apparently made of fern leaves and impossible looking wispy flowers on thin sweeping branches. When the tree appeared, however it appeared, the apple trees seemed to rally themselves around it. All of the orchard seemed to regain a fresh sense of hope as revealed in the renewed surge of blossoms, leaves, and hanging fruit.
The mimosa flourishes right in among the apple trees because the fairies wish it to. It somehow glows in the moonlight, the apples providing strings of tiny reflected lights all around it. At Midsummer's moon the orchard looks like a garden party in full swing for it attracts the fairies, who crowd together, curtsying and bowing, turning in pairs, strolling through waves of music that carry a wisp of scent or a flash of color or the ripe rich fruits of the imagination with it. Only at the hint of coming dawn will the music fade and the dancing shadows slip away in the rising mists of morning.
Our family has run this farm for centuries. People have sprung up and died away on this land for a long time, and their roots are deeply felt even if they remain unseen. Livestock has grazed and blossoms have opened beyond memory. The sea winds have been carving the stones of both house and wall long before hands ever stacked them in their place; the unsteady blow of sand and salt have smoothed the stones in place, mortaring them with sunshine and the slow fertile thoughts of the land.
There were more fairies and more dragons, long ago. However, no one had yet encountered miniature ponies. They are relatively new to our sighing old world, and their particular magic in all its quiet glory remains to be seen. They breathe a fresh kind of sweetness into the salty air around us. As the animals munch away at grass the fairies spend their time braiding those long manes and sweeping tails. They have their mysterious conversations as the sun follows its familiar path across all sorts of skies: blue and grey and golden and wispy. Even Time in our lands is as much a season here as the harvest or the Autumn storms. It fluctuates in lives and loves, passing from eye to eye and heart to heart. It hovers gently as the blossoms drip and the butterflies dance, as dragons snooze for years on end, and as the wind blows over, around, and through everything that has ever been here, and everything that will ever be.

Forgive me a generational indulgence, but what am I supposed to do, not post on the Indiegogo campaign for Dare to Be Different? In 1982, under the slogan that gives this music documentary in the making its title, WLIR, a small, independent Long Island radio station, switched from a progressive rock format to what the music/radio industry was calling "new music" – the post-punk/new wave stuff flooding out of New York, the Northeast, and, especially, Britain but still finding little purchase on American airwaves. 'LIR played Talking Heads and Elvis Costello and the Ramones and the Clash and as much as any station in the country could take credit for breaking bands like U2, the Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order, Tears for Fears, Echo and the Bunnymen, and the Smiths in the States, despite financial woes, a weak signal, and a long-running battle with the FCC over license issues.
These people are so speaking my language. Or at the least the language I was speaking 30 years ago. I still speak some of it. (Not all: as some old friends recently reminded me on Facebook, by the mid '80s I was so fed up with the Cure I flung my shoes at Robert Smith while out of my head at a summer-shed show, probably conking some poor kohl-eyed teenybopper down front.) But even if I long ago got rid of my Ultravox records, I still have a soft spot for this music and the people who took a chance on it many years ago, at a time when corporate rock radio was getting pretty dull. Even if that chance did also give us Howard Jones and A Flock of Seagulls. A lot of it was (and is) great, and even when it wasn't great it was often fun. And at the time it was Right, and at that age that's what really matters. (And you know what? The soaring synth line in "Wishing" still sounds beautiful.)
I wasn't listening to WLIR back then – I was at the University of Maryland spinning a lot of the same stuff in the wee hours on the 10-watt campus FM station – but Ellen Goldfarb was, and now she's paying tribute to that formative experience as producer of Dare to Be Different. The station's influence is no provincial adolescent memory: no less a personage than Sire Records founder Seymour Stein, only who signed the Ramones, Talking Heads, the Pretenders, and Madonna, says in the film that 'LIR was integral to the label's success.
Goldfarb and former 'LIR program director Denis McNamara have spent three years working to put the station's story on film, and they've amassed an '80s nostalgist's dream team – Ultravox's Midge Ure, Curt Smith of Tears for Fears, Bow Wow Wow's Annabella Lwin, B-52 Fred Schneider, the always-welcome Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth – along with several of the station's "World Famous" on-air personalities (Donna Donna, Larry the Duck) and fellow travelers like Michael Epstein, owner of key Long Island venue My Father's Place, who booked a lot of those bands in the day. In his teaser snippet Epstein has the addlepated gall to suggest that Bruce Springsteen somehow represented what was wrong with rock radio back then – along with Charlie Daniels (?) – so to hell with him, but otherwise it's just like heaven for aging modern rockers.
At this writing Dare to Be Different is about halfway to a $20,000 crowdfunding goal for completion costs (deadline June 12). Click on the widget below the video to contribute or learn more. You can still get your fix of "classic alternative," by the way, at WLIR's current online incarnation. And wherever you are, mid '80s suburban Maryland goth girl, I'm really sorry about the shoes.

By Jenny Park
On the same day that the UN Security Council adopted an international counterterrorism resolution, the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on 11 people and one entity that funded terrorist groups, including the Islamic State. The sanctions freeze the individuals' assets and bars U.S. citizens from doing business with them. Since the targeted terrorist groups raise much of its funds locally - thus, beyond the scope of government reach - the impact of these sanctions is unclear. Nonetheless, the purpose is to publicly expose those involved and to restrict the flow of money.

A new era will begin in the AFL on Thursday as AFLX is introduced at Hindmarsh Stadium before additional tournaments are held in Melbourne and Sydney on Friday and Saturday.
AFLX is the AFL's attempt at finding their own version of Twenty20 – the game is played on a rectangular field, there are only ten players on each team and is played over two 10-minute halves.
We have analysed all 18 clubs set to take place across the three different tournaments and we are confident that we have found the winner in each tournament.
Adelaide Crows
The Adelaide Crows have named an incredibly inexperienced squad for AFLX and despite have the home-town advantage, it is tough to see them being a genuine factor.
Only two players that took part in the 2017 AFL Grand Final have been included and more than half the squad is yet to make their AFL debut.
Collingwood will go into the competition with a fairly-balanced side that includes the likes of Jarryd Blair, James Aish, Steele Sidebottom and Jack Crisp.
They definitely deserve to be considered among the leading contenders, but there current price of $3.75 does seem a touch under the odds considering some of the other squads in this tournament.
Fremantle looked the team to beat when Nate Fyfe was originally included in their squad, but he was quickly ruled out and without him the Dockers actually have a very inexperienced side.
The Dockers went from $4 straight out to $8 following Fyfe's withdrawal and it would not surprise if they continue to drift as we get closer to the start of the tournament.
Geelong will go into the tournament with a fairly young side, but they still do have a number of players that have AFL experience and should thrive in this format.
Daniel Menzel is a big inclusion for Geelong and he will be keen to impress following a fairly flat second-half of 2017.
Geelong are right in this tournament and look to be the main dangers to Port Adelaide.
Port Adelaide
Port Adelaide are the team to beat in this AFLX tournament.
Their squad – led by Robbie Gray – is packed full of fit bodies that really should thrive in this format and they have the motivation of playing in front of their home fans.
Gray is the x-factor and the Power really do appeal at their current price of $4.
West Coast
The West Coast Eagles clearly are not taking this tournament seriously and have no intention of winning.
West Coast have named 11 players that are yet to make their AFL debuts and 21-year-old Liam Duggan will lead the side into the competition.
Back Port Adelaide To Win @ $4

Not always. Your premium will partly depend on the rebuild costs of the particular design of your home.
What should I do about rotting wood in a timber frame house?
Rotting wood is a risk that every homeowner of a timber frame home will need to get to grips with as time goes on. You can cut away the affected wood and replace it, or alternatively applying a wood preserve or lead paint can make all the difference.
How do I find the rebuild cost of my property?
If you purchased the property in the last 5 years your homebuyers survey may include the rebuild cost. However if you purchased the property more than 5 years ago you will need to get an up to date assessment.
If your home is of standard construction (normally brick walls and tile roof), not a listed building and not built before 1720 you can use the free online BCIS Rebuild calculator.
If your home is built with non standard construction materials, or it's a Listed Building or it was built before 1720, you will need to consult a Chartered surveyor to provide you with an accurate rebuild cost.

London: `Rocket Man` Elton John`s former car, a classic red Jaguar E-Type, is going under the hammer.
The 64-year-old bought the stunning vehicle back in 1987 - the same year that he released his iconic song `Candle in the Wind`, reported Daily Mail.
The car has an impressive 150mph speed limit and 4.2 litre V8 engine, one of the fastest cars in the world when it first went on the market at the start of the Sixties.
At the time of its release rival car maker Enzo Ferrari described the model as `the most beautiful car in the world`.
But despite setting the world alight, John was happy to get rid of the car in 2001, when its current owner snapped it up for 80,000 pounds at one of the singer`s auctions.
But the current unnamed owner has only driven it 1,000 miles in the last decade.
Now another owner is getting the chance to ride the car and they can even show off Elton`s special registration number.
The plate reads OKE1 - which the singer referred to as `OK Elton` when it was in his possession.

The South Korea's won advanced after exporters repatriated their offshore profits while the central bank announced the second-biggest current-account surplus this year.
The won rose 0.2 percent to trade at 1,024.50 per dollar at Seoul close. The currency's one-month implied volatility, a measure of anticipated shifts in the exchange rate used to assign price to options, plunged 0.12 percentage point or 12 basis points, to 5.63 percent.
"We're seeing exporters sell large amounts of dollars before the summer holiday season starts in August," Jude Noh, a Seoul-based chief currency trader for Suhyup Bank, told Bloomberg. "The current-account surplus and Kospi extending gains are also supporting sentiment toward the won."
The current-account surplus stood at $7.92 billion in June, according to official data. The won also got boosted by foreign investors who purchased net local equities for the 11th straight day. The Kospi Index ended Tuesday's trade at its highest level in three years after global funds increased their local stock portfolio by $3 billion this month.
Addressing reporters after publishing the current-account statistics, the Bank of Korea director-general Jung Yung Taek said that he expects imports and exports in July to expand from a year ago. Analysts in a Bloomberg survey project exports to have increased 3.8 percent in July, while imports rose 1.5 percent. Official figures are due on August 1.
The yield on South Korea government bonds that mature on June 2017 increased two basis points to steady at 2.53 percent, according to Korea Exchange data. The yield on the notes that mature on March 2024 increased three basis points to 3.04 percent.

Ta-Nehisi Coates over at The Atlantic wrote yesterday (in conjunction with an anonymous historian) about the challenges of using evidence in writing history. Which evidence to use, and how to use it, is really the most important question a historian will address when he sits down to write a historical account. And let's be clear: "writing history" is and should be a weighty thing. What I'm saying when I write history is, "This is what happened. It did not happen any other way, as far as the evidence goes." This is a philosophically brave (some might say brash) thing to say. It asserts that I, the historian, have discovered something akin to truth. Writing history isn't something to be taken lightly.
I've spent some time reading and talking about oral history with students and faculty here at UMass Amherst. A few historians in our community have essentially made oral history their life's work. Others are skeptical about the real merits of oral histories. "Oral historians are basically just folklorists," they say. "Oral histories are unreliable."
Well, yes and no. Oral histories might often be unreliable, because people misremember, or lie to themselves, or unconsciously tamper with their memories to make them fit a powerful narrative. But what I've told my students at the beginning of the past two semesters is that documents can lie as easily as people, when "to lie" just means "to obscure reality." Look, for instance, at the body count figures that became the de facto measurement of the America's success in Vietnam in the 1960s. If we accept those documents at face value, we concede that they're a good, valid way to understand America's slow march through the murk of that conflict. But if we accept them at face value, we ignore crucial questions. Who decided body bags were the best way to measure progress? What other questions aren't being asked?
There's a lot more to write about oral history, but that's for later.

Gilbert Gutierrez's Spreads Dharma at DDM San Francisco
One of Master Sheng-Yen's dharma heirs, Gilbert Gutierrez, visited Dharma Drum Mountain Buddhist Association San Francisco Chapter (DDM San Francisco) on March 14th and 15th. DDM San Francisco hosted a series of meditation and Buddhism lecture events to spread the Dharma and to let more Westerns get acquainted with Dharma Drum Mountain.
The event on March 14th was the introductions of Chan meditation and meditation practice. 40 people participated the event. Some of them have at least 20-year experience of meditation practice, and others are just the beginners.
Before the class, Gilbert first led the participates to bow to the image of Master Sheng-Yen. Gilbert explained that all his lectures are inheritated from Master Shen-Yen's teachings. Gilbert's lecture started from an introduction of meditation, followed with explanations of advance meditation methods such as Huatou and Silent Illumination Chan.
During the lecture, Gilbert instructed the participants to experience meditation as well. Gilbert emphasized that no matter one is an experienced Chan practitioner or a beginner, he/she should start as a beginner. Gilbert's lecture materials were based on Master Shen-Yen's books with many examples and stories from ancient Chan masters, including Bai-Zhan-Hwai-Hai, and Ma-Zu-Dao-Yi.
Gilbert also adopted inspirational stories from Sutras such as Heart Sutra the Diamond Sutra to help the participants further understanding the meditation.
The participants enjoyed Gilbert's teaching much. Although it was cold and windy outside, they all expected Gilbert not to cancel the program of walking meditation set in the afternoon.
Everybody wore hats and heavy coats to go outside to practice walking meditation, including the slow walking meditation, natural walking meditation, fast walking meditation, and direct contemplation.
The event on March 15th was meditation and Buddhism lecture. 30 people attended the event. The lecture material was based on the Shurangama Sutra. Gilbert delivered the lecture in the Q-and-A method in order to push the participants to think and even find answers within themselves.
In this way, the participants could better understand the nature of the questions and could examine their understandings of meditation and Buddhism, which in turn, could keep the participants stay in progress.
The lecture was full of laught and in a relaxed atmosphere. After the lecture, one of the participants shared that he finally realized he had practiced in a wrong way, no wonder he showed no progress following ten-year practice.
After the class, many participants still surrounded and chatted with Gilbert. One of the participants living in Monterey area invited Gilbert to give a talk in the Monterey area. Gilbert said that as long as his schedule is open, he is willing to deliver the Dharma in any place to help Master Sheng Yen in the work of spreading the Dharma seed in every corner of the world.
