The Summer Is Done - Now Here Comes the Heat
With summer fading and an onslaught of quality films coming in the Fall, it's time to give credit to those who made a splash these last few months. Congratulations to the team of Debra Martin Chase and Whitney Houston for producing one of the biggest sleepers this summer, "The Princess Diaries." The film is just shy of breaking the $100 million club. Although it was expected to be a big hit, Chris Tucker still made a good financial decision that paid off in "Rush Hour 2," which just passed the $200 million plateau. While not marketed as he used to be, Eddie Murphy still carried his "A" game and proved he was the best thing in "Shrek" and "Dr.Dolittle 2." Elevating his status in a major way, "The Fast and the Furious" took Vin Diesel to new heights.
As the Fall approaches, the usual players will be back to slay the box office. Denzel Washington, Martin Lawrence, and Will Smith all have films that should take them to a new level. Word on the street is that Denzel will be bangin' on Oscars door again except this time he is bangin' with a Tek-9. On the small circuit, festival favorites such as "One Week," "30 Years to Life," and "Punks" will be making their theatrical debut. In the meantime, Vivica Fox, Morris Chestnut and a handful of all-star comedians grace us with their skills in "Two Can Play That Game."
Till next week,

When it comes to making sure that your vehicle runs smoothly, safely, and efficiently, the number one way you can drive with peace of mind is by staying on top of all routine vehicle maintenance – starting with regular oil changes.
The importance of oil changes really cannot be understated, making it vital that you never find yourself slacking when it comes to scheduling oil change appointments.
Engine oil works hard to lubricate the many working mechanics inside a vehicle, ensuring that they run properly and efficiently. It also absorbs heat, reducing friction between those rugged car parts.
But over time, engine oil begins to break down, become less effective, and can even become saturated with debris. This means that the mechanics in your car could be scraping against each other dangerously, while potentially overheating your engine.
Luckily, it's incredibly easy and fast to get your oil changed at a dealership – like West Point Lincoln – and you can even change your oil at home. Your owner's manual will recommend which type of oil to use and how often to change it.
For more information or to talk to a specialist, contact us or visit our service department any time at West Point Lincoln.

Oswestry School Founder's Day 2016
Our 609th Founder's Day was a glorious occasion full of sunshine, song, sports, friendships reunited and feasting.
The day commenced at Bellan House with a coffee and biscuits for the eminent members of our community. The Headmaster and his wife greeted the Mayor of Oswestry, Cllr Paul Milner, the President of the Old Oswestrian Society, Mr Chris Wylie, the Chairman of Oswestry School Governors, Mr Peter Wilcox-Jones along with guest speaker, Mr Ray Evanson, our oldest OO, Mr Sydney Bailey and other members of the alumni community.
Founder's Service began at 10.30am in St Oswald's Parish Church and with every seat taken and only standing space at the back of the church remaining. Following rousing renditions of 'Gaude, plebs redemptionis' and 'Jerusalem' and an uplifting sermon everyone departed for the Peter Humphreys Centre where a delicious buffet lunch was served.
Traditionally the Old Oswestrians challenge the school at sports during the afternoon and this year was no different. Teams gathered for football, netball and hockey ready to represent their sides. Despite well contested and sometime raucous games the results were as follows:
Old Oswestrians vs. 1st XI football 2-5
Old Oswestrians vs. 2nd XI football 2-2
Old Oswestrians vs. 1st VII netball 13-15
Old Oswestrians vs. 1st XI hockey 3-3
The Society AGM took place in the School Chapel in the early evening. A new chair, Mr Mark Evans, was elected and several new committee members voted in.
Founder's Day Dinner commenced in the Peter Humphreys Centre with Old Oswestrians in attendance from each decade starting with the 1920's. There was an opportunity to mingle and catch up over canapés and fizz before sitting down to a delicious meal shared with old friends and new.
Take a look at our Old Oswestrian facebook page for more photographs from the weekend. We look forward to celebrating the 610th anniversary next year.

Jennifer Roberts, Philip Powell (Sheffield)
CEDE was a multidisciplinary research project bringing together experts in data analysis, design, human computer interaction, behavioural economics, psychology, and mobile psychophysiology to explore and create a new dimension to digital personhood – digital empathy. CEDE had an international cross-sector focus, with case studies and research related to behavioural economics, health, design, psychophysiology, and ICT to enhance our understanding of empathy in digital personhood and its potential for the digital economy. The project focused on five core objectives: i) explore and develop the concept of 'digital empathy' and how it can be facilitated via innovative methods; ii) improve individuals' quality of life by enabling a fuller expression of digital personhood and identifying its social and economic implications; iii) reduce isolation across communities/groups and individuals; iv) develop new design principles that can be incorporated into systems design to enable empathy to be effectively communicated across the network; and v) open up a new domain in digital personhood, applicable across a variety of sectors. CEDE is funded by EPSRC grant EP/L003635/1.

It used to be that the existent and the invented were parallel lines that ne'er met. Then we discovered that infinite is curved, and in curving infinites parallel lines ever meet. ( The Power Book, 94 )
Science and literature has ever been arguably been seen in resistance to each other since the period of Enlightenment. A scientist by preparation and author by career, Snow 's 1959 talk on " The Two Cultures " presented an counter theoretical account of the cultural spheres of scientific discipline and literature that remains pertinent. Harmonizing to C.P. Snow, there is " a gulf of common incomprehension, … ill will and disfavor, but most of all deficiency of understanding… [ and ] a funny deformed image of each other " between the two civilizations. While Snow had felt that it was impossible for creative persons and scientists to be able to absorb each other 's thoughts because of major differences in each other 's worldviews, he was, nevertheless, non in favour of the divide. Snow felt that a misinterpretation of the two civilizations would function to hinder the solution doing procedure to work out jobs present in the universe. " The clashing point of two topics, two subjects, two civilizations – of two galaxies, so far as it goes ought to bring forth originative opportunities " ( 16 ) . The subjects of scientific discipline and literature although filled with differences can be reciprocally sole and complementary, if opportunity were given to the coaction of the two civilizations.

Not all minds, nevertheless, felt that manner. I.A. Richards, for case, felt that there should be no rapprochement of the scientific disciplines and the humanistic disciplines ( Science and Poetry ) in that there were excessively many differences ; non merely a lingual difference but to their Fieldss of involvements and linguistic communication within 'the two civilizations ' . It is in this paradox of the two civilizations, where most authors by and large attempt to accommodate 'the two civilizations ' in their plants. Jeanette Winterson is one such illustration. From transfusing scientific cognition of human anatomy inWritten on the Body( 1992 ) , to detailing the workings of the internet inThe Power Book( 2000 ) , to deploying the theory of quantum natural philosophies inGut Symmetries( 1997 ) , Winterson is frequently portraying her visions through the synergisms and differences of scientific disciplines and literature. Primarily because of the differentiation between the two civilizations, the inclusion of scientific discipline within novels gives it an excess border, an added bed of position powered by the writer. " Science is ne'er absorbed by authors, [ but ] ever co-opted ; it serves as a beginning either of nonsubjective correlates or of solutions to their ain quandary " ( Limon, 24 ) . The multiplicity of beds encoded within the text of Winterson owes much of its due to her superb drama with both the civilizations.
InThe Stone Gods( 2007 ) , nevertheless, Winterson takes on a different attack towards the portraiture of the scientific disciplines and literature. As John Limon writes:
A author with a personal, aesthetic, political, or spiritual job is certain to happen at least one version of scientific discipline that responds to it, serves as a straw adult male for it, settles it, or, more likely, dignifies it, seems to give the quandary a philosophical point. ( 25 )
Indeed, inStone Supreme beingsWinterson argues that the scientific disciplines are a cause or accelerator to the sick destiny of adult male. Scientific promotions are prevailing in the majority of the novel, yet the comfortss they bring are overshadowed by the devastation they have brought approximately. Crossing three narratives in three different clip zones and three different locations, the consolidative subject between these narratives lies in all the destiny of the three narratives ; the environment Man inhabits is en path to devastation. Despite claims that Winterson makes ofThe Stone Godsas a narrative akin to a 'poetic speculation on who we are and what we might make next ' where the readers are allowed to believe for himself or herself ( RBN Book Show ) , I shall reason that the text presents a much more expressed review of scientific advancement.
Having conceived of thoughts of the novel and its construction upon listening to Stephen Hawking 's sentiment on colonising infinite for endurance in the following decennary ( RBN Book Show ) , Jeanette Winterson is somewhat more affirmed with her review of scientific discipline in this novel. BecauseThe Stone Godsexpands a small farther into the futuristic facet of scientific developments or what it could potentially go, there is no demand to warrant the fictional nor scientific truth about the possibilities she lists.
It is a narrative of reiterating universes, a lost manuscript picked up in the Tube, a narrative of the yesteryear, a narrative which offers a glance into the futuristic universes, likely hereafters non excessively far beyond our clasps of a possible hereafter. The novel at first reads like narratives and narratives slackly linked, waies unclear. Yet the beauty of the linguistic communication and the phantasy of a scientific hereafter weaved is equal to transfuse is a sense of captivation and battle for the reader to stay catpivated. There are three chief subdivisions within the novel that locate themselves in three different countries, viz. Planet Orbus, Easter Islands and Planet Blue. Deliberate efforts to associate the novel up, clearly apparent in the repeat names and features of the chief supporters in Billie and Spike are present. Billie Crusoe ( note the name ) is ever seen to be presenting inquiries to the universe around her ; Spike 's supposed mission is to work out worldly issues. She is merely outstanding unreal concept the novel mostly deals with. Apart from the similar names ; the same thoughts are repeatedly manifested in indistinguishable balls of texts repeatedly, and that the events that occur in the differing kingdom of dimensions manifests itself in another. A brief of the novel 's main thoughts and narrative follows, in order to set up a general sense of the text in which the paper trades with. The past, present and future dimensions of clip transverse inThe Stone Gods,the futuristic impression lies chiefly in that of Planet Orbus, which opens the novel.
I. The Stone Gods in a Nutshell
Planet Orbus
The novel begins on fictional Planet Orbus where the civilisation is filled with automatons, programmed to transport out the day-to-day modus operandis and responsibilities of the human race. Like the letters of the English linguistic communication, the automatons have seemed to hold infiltrated into the lives of the worlds, holding within themselves a scope of names runing from the letters A- Z. It is as though these automatons were every bit indispensable as to the function of letters in correspondence with the alphabet or words as opposed to the function of the automatons to the lifes of worlds in that clip period. Besides, human organic structures can be easy manipulated in this chapter, genetically alterations to a desired age or mentality are so easy come-at-able that the twenty-four hours you genetically acquire fixed is normally known as 'G-day ' . Almost everyone in the fictional society has been at that place, done that. The possibilities scientific discipline offers in the change of the human genome draws a analogue to the possibilities of cloning in the province of the present universe. In many ways than one, Jean Baudrillard 's review on cloning in Critical Illusions can be said to parallel Winterson 's review of familial use inThe Stone Gods. Both Winterson and Baudrillard inquiries, " [ what ] of the finish of the scientific undertaking [ ? ] " ( 9 ) .
In Orbus, our supporter, Billie, is a Public Relations officer whose primary occupation is to corroborate prosthetics arrangement via familial use. She is one of the rare few left in the period that is still capable of empathy and therefore the capacity to experience. She is different from the remainder in that she still uses paper and pen, has her beliefs instilled within literature and humanistic disciplines.
Although engineering is really good advanced on this planet, the scientific promotions are non able to forestall the planet 's resources from consuming. The people on the planet hence expression to another planet for endurance ; of which this sounds about incredulous, but Winterson 's narrative is fuelled with eternal optimism amidst the despair that the mission works ; to snuff out the monsters ( dinosaurs ) on a certain 'Planet Blue ' before worlds can get down to evacuate Orbus and restart civilisations on the newfound planet. Although the Captain does pull off to debar an oncoming asteroid to make a climatic alteration to the planet, pass overing out the dinosaurs as the hit consequences in an ice age, human life would merely be made possible merely 65 million old ages subsequently. Winterson seems to connote that the futuristic Orbus belongs really to a portal of the yesteryear, a clip forsaken and forgotten, a hereafter that we one time were 65 million old ages ago, a hereafter we have yet to go.
Easter Islands
The following chapter brings us back to a clip in the yesteryear, March 1774, on the Easter Islands. Our supporter, by the way named Billy, has been left stranded on the island by his crew has to fend for himself among cannibalistic indigens for endurance. While it all sounds excessively much like the destiny of Daniel Defoe 'sRobinson Crusoe( 1719 ) , a dramatis personae off on an island all by himself, Billy credits his endurance to Spikkers, a second-generation outcast who had foremost originated from the Netherlands. The pick of 'Billy Crusoe ' as its name is of no happenstance and the paper shall cover with it subsequently. Similarly, one is note that there is significance in the portraiture of the Easter Islands, as it clearly resonates the novel 's rubric, and the moral it upholds, functioning a larger portion of its representation of a microcosm of what is being done to Earth, or more specifically refering to the state of affairs addressed good within the novel. The residents of Easter Island have unrelentingly wasted the one time exuberant verdure and resources of the island to construct themselves stone Gods, which finally sees itself finally being destroyed ; " the island has been destroyed ( to construct the Stone Gods ) , and now the Stone Gods are themselves destroyed " . The ineffectual wastages of resources, misjudgments of Man, are subjects of which are invariably repeated throughout the novel.
Planet Blue ( Wreck City/ Post 3 War )
The 3rd narrative takes a bold spring into a hereafter, that of station World War Three. A metropolis is by and large restoring itself after a atomic war declared by the Iranians. In the location where the supporter thrives, ruins, political battles and sick effects of the war imposed upon the guiltless subsisters are rampant. Billy recollects her memories of her forsaking as a kid in this chapter and a myriad of metaphorical texts and remembrances of her past amidst the on-going narrative intercepts her brush with Friday helps her to turn up Spike and voyage her manner around the outskirts of Tech City. Spike 's animalism remains from the first part of the novel, as she remains a automaton without a caput. She is nevertheless continually germinating and has removed herself from the mainframe, which she has wholly along been governed by. The Spike we now see is a automaton that has the ability to now do her ain determinations and receives no orders from any authorization. In Wreck City, a post-Apocalyptic town where adolescents wear Doc Martens and survive on bubbly and pilchards as staple nutrient, Billy and Spike discovered a satellite dish that receives a signal sent 65 million old ages ago. Similarly the readers are led to detect a more intricate side to Billy as she reminisces about her yesteryear, a remembrance of her so immature individual female parent who had dumped her when she was simply 28 yearss old.
II. Uncovering Winterson 's review of Science & A ; Humanity
Although promotions in familial technology on the Planet Orbus in the gap chapter may hold helped repair and fulfill the superficial desire of its people to look vernal everlastingly, the society at big had generated a new ill. With everyone else on the planet looking beautiful, people look to perverts of the normal, of " monsters " for admiration and idolism. Celebrities are hankered after because they can ne'er turn up or hold an excess limb, or two. " [ Peoples ] want something different when everything has become the same ( Winterson, 21 ) " , work forces are trailing misss who are still small kids who have non gone through pubescence, famous persons undergo macro-surgery to acquire surgically enhanced to be 'star-gods ' ( 19 ) with mutable hair colourss to fit their outfit. Although it is really much a consequence of the wants of a society, it is noteworthy that the society at big is malfunctioned and has farther degraded. There is such a similar state of affairs in the universe of genetic sciences today in that of cloning. Initially used for bettering or prolonging line of lifes or wellness AIDSs, the futuristic possibilities that Winterson creates within the novel may one twenty-four hours go world. It is dry nevertheless, that we should most frequently find ourselves desiring to be different or alone from one another merely to stop up being a conformed person, to that of a social organic structure. This is similar to the province Jean Baudrillard suggests in that of cloning in the 20 first century today. He writes:
It is the matrix of acquired traits that, today, ringers us culturally under the mark of mono-thought – and it is all the innate differences that annulled, inexorably, by thoughts, by ways of life, by the cultural context. Through school systems, media, civilization, and mass information, remarkable existences become indistinguishable transcripts of one another. It is this sort of cloning – societal cloning, the industrial reproduction of things and people – that makes possible the biological construct of the genome and of familial cloning, which merely further countenances the cloning of human behavior and human knowledge. ( 25 )
In the novel nevertheless social values become writhed, as a Utopia of kinds is bit by bit revealed as a dsytopia due to scientific promotions. The thought of cloning has infiltrated through the society because of the countenance behind social chases. Peoples seek for credence and hence expression to conformance. In the novel, Men go pedophilic, the perfect is now the normal, and people look towards what used to be called monsters for instant satisfaction. Everything is going a transcript of a transcript, nil is existent, everything going like semblances people one time envisioned, towards being the ideals that everyone originally had. Science entirely is non to fault, but the province in which Man has abused scientific discipline is worthy to observe.
Apart from the society immersing into a province of dsytopia, the portraiture of monolithic devastation and depletion of the natural resources brought approximately by the coming of engineering on the assorted locations of Planet Orbus, the Easter Islands and Planet Earth certifies that destructive quality in Man. Planet Orbus has been wasted off and is shortly going inhabitable ; Easter Island is missing in the resources it used to hold in copiousness ; Planet Blue is full of pandemonium and war-stricken, stat mis apart from the fresh new planetal site it one time promised the people on Orbus. These devices of the scientific disciplines are simply tools, objects that do non hold a life of their ain. Hence is that of war, environmental debasement etc a consequence of Man 's behaviors, scientific discipline and engineering simply a accelerator for adult male 's actions. In Wreck City " a new coevals of worlds made out of the hate of others ( 233 ) " comes to visible radiation in the most monstrous descriptive of transitions:
Coming in on all 4s, coming in on crutches made from icky forest wood, coming in ragged, lacerate, ripped, open-wounded, cankerous, hemorrhage, toothless, blind, speechless, stunted, mutant, alive – the definition of homo. Souls?
They live in the Dead Forest. They were the bomb harm, the enemy collateral, the ground-kill, blood-poisoned, lung-punctured, lymph-swollen, skin like soiled tissue paper, xanthous eyes, weal-bodied, frog-mottled, pustules seeping thick material, mucous secretion faces, bald, scarred, scared, alive, human. ( 232 )
These were the victims of war, their destinies sealed with holding to populate with insufficiencies, for whichever grounds the higher powers held over them, grounds for which may hold been the consequence of desiring power over another. Even in the Easter Islands chapter earlier technological promotions came into position Man is seen to be swerving and contending for power, puting their ain regulations and winning glorification, to alter the manner one governs the country, the state, the lands. And this is precisely a portion of what Winterson exemplifies ; the dilapidation of Man, in the many mistakes, misjudgments. " Mankind, I hazard, wherever found, Civilized or Savage, can non maintain to any intent for much length of clip, except the intent of destructing himself " ( Winterson, 132 ) .
In the three possible timelines that Winterson had laid out, there seems to be lone debasement, devastation and amendss all about. This therefore resonates greatly with what the novel has been driving at therefore far, that Man is destructive.
Harmonizing to Baudrillard, " in [ our ] blind pursuit to possess greater cognition, world plans its ain devastation with the same insouciant fierceness that it applies to the devastation of everything else " ( Baudrillard, 18 ) , in which anything in the manner of achieving the end of Man is eradicated. Possibly there is some significance to how this 'knowledge ' should show itself in the signifier of 'power ' and nil else within the novel. The novel seems to hold with Baudrillard 's contention, in his observation that entreaties to the larger political organic structures that decide the direction and destiny of the general population, the signifier of 'power ' attained through technological promotions ; holding closer ticker on its ain citizens, automatons to adult male mundane responsibilities, or do 'subjective ' determinations, the menace of abuse or maltreatment of this power is extremely damaging. Significantly plenty, Winterson voices her review through the voice of the unreal intelligent supporter, Spike:
The 1s that do n't believe [ in God ] blame faith for the ailments of the universe, and while this is an attractive theory, particularly among scientists, it does non account for the portion that scientific discipline and engineering have played in conveying about mass devastation. You can believe what you like, but without guns and bombs, the harm you can make to yourselves and others is reasonably limited ( 162 )
Man can merely fault himself for the injury he inflicts upon one another. Lucid description of the wrecked metropoliss and their dwellers in the last chapters at the Playa aforementioned further establishes Winterson 's statement of the destructiveness of arms. Badly mutated due to the bombardments of a Third World War, these people were " lacerate, ripped, open-wounded, cankerous, hemorrhage, toothless, blind, speechless, stunted, mutant, alive " ( 232 ) . These people are fed from human-centered assistance dropped from the skies above. Ostracized from the remainder of the civilisation, their lives are everlastingly damaged. Populating in woods and remote-controlled lands, their destinies are everlastingly now controlled by the larger powers, to the full reliable on their assistance for endurance. Remember earlier from the grotesque descriptive transitions that Winterson writes, of " psyches? " and " worlds " , the individualities of these victims are questionable.
Mistakes happen, abuses occur. Despite holding the power of idea and the option of procuring cognition, misjudgments can still happen. The fresh nowadayss a assortment of instances where Humankind attempts to use scientific discipline to better the quality of life- from familial uses to replacing worlds in managing everyday undertakings like that of family jobs. However the effects of mishandling of scientific discipline ; awful destinies of the victims in a postmodern war portrayed within the novel goes far plenty to overthrow the good that scientific disciplines can implement. Just as immature kids are naA?ve in their projects, worlds in both the fictional and existent universe tend to botch these " playthings " which necessarily " acquire out of control " ( RBN Book Show ) , the " plaything " being new scientific innovations. Science can help and change by reversal the advancement of adult male. Yet it can non assist to repair everything. " Humanity sacrifices itself as a whole species to an unknown experimental destiny – unknown before this, in any instance, to other species, who have ne'er known any destiny but a natural one " ( 18 ) . Experiments are after all experimental, consequences conjectural. Until humanity is able to judge good for themselves, it seems as though errors are bound to reoccur, therefore may destine be sealed in that mode.
However bleak the novel seems to show the destiny of world in the custodies of scientific promotions, Winterson offers a signifier of salvation. This is clearly portrayed by Spike 's observation, which resonates throughout the novel: " This is a quantum existence, neither random nor determined. It is possible at every 2nd. All you can make is step in ( 75 ) " . The lone salvation in the face of such effects lies within the potency for humanity to lift up to the juncture. Spike 's offering of love as a solution could good be double-edged: first and foremost, at the degree of single characters, to function as a command to allure Billie into reciprocating Spike 's fondness, and in a more wide context, to turn to the jobs created by world.

I am exceptionally lazy when it comes to keeping my thoughts current on my site. I am not a social media guy and don't have the impelling urge to keep everyone in the world up-to-date on what is going on in my life. In fact, I value my privacy.
Suffice it to say that all is well.
The 2017-18 school year passed faster than any year I can recall and I said so-long to my graduating students in May, which is always bittersweet. The relationship of teacher and student is a sacred one. It necessarily includes struggle, hard work, emotional investment, contemplation, sacrifice, risk, vulnerability, progress, achievement, and constant evaluation…of equal proportions on each side of the studio. When it is time for the student to move on, I hope that I have given my best to help them become better musicians, better trombone players and perhaps most importantly, better people. That may sound arrogant and/or inappropriate and it may just be exactly those. When I accept students, I offer my experiences in both the musical world and the real world to help them become better musicians and better citizens. They all come in as great people, just young—-and eager to learn. An important part of the entrance audition process is determining who I want to spend an hour a week with and who I do not. It is a tough distinction to make in a 10-minute audition but after hearing over a thousand auditions, I have gotten pretty accurate at assessing who I want in my studio. We end up like a family, a harmonious one. The results are incredibly rewarding. I love going to work every day…how lucky I am.
There are around blog 20 topics that I want to publish in the Blog section but first I need to review what I have already written in order to avoid redundancy. If I just turned off the damned TV and/or web browser and/or email application and/or phone and/or iPad, and wrote for an hour a day, I could probably get them completed in 2 weeks but…for me, that is the problem. I am often frustratingly undisciplined when it comes to distraction. The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc. for the nth time get in the way. Perhaps it will help to put a deadline on myself. How about October 15? That date seems as good as any.
October 15. October 15. I can do it!
Here are some topics I will address:
-Too many equipment options. Too much emphasis on equipment and not enough on practice.

In other news:
In May, I recorded another CD. The working title is: 3. I used the same principal crew (Kay Kim, pianist and Jon Whitaker, producer) as my previous Defaye recording (thanks for the warm and generous compliments on that CD, btw). It was a wonderful week of rigorous recording and great friendship in Tuscaloosa. I cannot imagine the experience being any more pleasant than working with those two. I am excited for you to hear the result. I am going out on a limb here but I think that 3 will be my last solo recording. In order to prepare for a recording, one must really believe in the music being recorded because of the hours required to prepare. As many of you know, I am not wild about original trombone music, from any era. I have now recorded the pieces I believe in and wanted to record. A couple of years from now, I may eat these words but for now, I am happy with what I am leaving behind.
A couple of weeks in Australia in February was a highlight. Seeing old friends and meeting new as well as hearing terrific students made for a great trip. What an amazing continent! Great food, great coffee, great wine and an incredibly fascinating history! Being there makes it all seem more real. I'd return in a second. Tasmania was especially interesting and seeing all the critters at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary may have been the pinnacle of the entire visit.
Tomorrow I am off to Norway, my homeland, to begin a 2-week Baltic cruise which takes me then to Copenhagen, Berlin, Gdansk, Tallinn, St. Petersburg, Helsinki and Stockholm. Surprisingly, I have not visited any of these cities before. It will be a terrific adventure. My 23andMe profile tells me that I am 87.7% Norwegian, 6.8% Northwest European and 5.6% British and Irish (where'd THAT come from?). I am excited to see a beautiful part of the world that I have yet to experience.
So…I will try to get the blogs posted and October 15 is my target date to be caught up.
Thanks for checking in.

We are heading for Harbin for the Ice Festival, and have decided to take the sleeper train. If you come from North America or Australia, this might not seem like such a novelty, but Britain is so small, you can hardly go anywhere that takes longer than forty winks. The boys are dizzily excited, and the most mundane things become thrilling innovations.
"This is a sofa! But it's also a bed! It's a sofa-bed!"
Joseph reclines luxuriantly on his bunk.
"This is the life," he says.
"I always thought the life would be bigger," Noah muses, surveying our cosy compartment. He tries to climb to the upper bunk, with little success, and has to be shoved up in undignified fashion. (It is only afterwards that we find the fold down steps by the door.)
Once aloft he is noisily delighted with his elevation, and Joseph becomes jealous. I tell him he can't sleep up there, but I lift him up to see what it's like.
"This is amazing," Joseph says. "It's like I'm exploring a different world." He looks around. "Can I get down now?"
The voyage of discovery has taken around fifteen seconds, and there are still ten minutes till the train goes. Excitement risks degenerating into shenanigans.
"Now, what can we play with to pass the time?" Karen says in her brightest teacher voice.
"I've brought a tennis ball," Noah announces proudly, and we all stare at him in disbelief.
Instead we play cards. The train outside the window begins to slide past.
"It's moving," Joseph says.
"No, we're moving."
Downtown Beijing at night I always find exciting. The city is a different place after dark, and when you have children it's easy to forget this other side exists. Tonight the pyrotechnics are provided not only the neon lights but also by New Year fireworks, bursting and glittering to illuminate our departure. Joseph, cocooned in his bunk, gazes out of the window.
"This is just the best night of my life."
Harbin has a lot to live up to.

Beauty at every age: the fashion show at JCHE's Brighton site
Posted: April 21, 2011
Last week, nearly 250 Brighton residents selected seats in the new program center auditorium in anticipation of an exciting and innovative event. They were about to watch, smile and applaud as 17 of their neighbors modeled outfits.The colorfulness of the setting and the elegance of the participants resulted in a show that could almost rival the famous fashion houses! Each model selected her outfit from her own closet, including lovely gowns and stunning shawls. It was a celebration of beauty at every age. The event was fun for the models and audience members alike. Requests have already been made for an encore show next year!
Featured in these photos: Phuong Thai (red gown); Ida Ordyanskaya (wearing the lovely shawl); Vera Fridman (pink dress)

Having been to many fashion shows in other senior housing over the years, I can wholeheartedly say that this was the best! The pride that showed on the models' faces was palpable. I planned to take a peak at the show and return to my desk, but I was captivated by the energy in the room and stayed for the whole show! Congratulations to the staff and the models for creating such a fabulous event!

They said, Pakistan has also been asked to share results of the investigations with the Indian High Commission.
The sources also noted that the website of the Indian High Commission continues to be intermittently blocked which is causing inconvenience and has affected normal functioning of the Mission.
"Such incidents of harassment, intimidation and threats to physical security of diplomats and officials are in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, and a threat to the security and safety of the personnel of the high commission of India," a source said.
Pakistan has been told that the safety and security of Indian High Commission, its officers, staff members and their families is the responsibility of the government of Pakistan, the source added.
On March 19, two officials of the Indian mission went for shopping to Safa Gold Mall and they were aggressively followed by two persons in a car (Toyota Corolla) in close proximity at various locations, sources said. In another incident, they said, two officials travelling in a high commission vehicle were aggressively followed while going to a super market.
"Pakistan has been requested to immediately investigate all these incidents and direct the relevant authorities to ensure that such incidents do not recur. Results of the investigations may kindly be shared with the high commission," the source added.
India has so far issued 13 note verbales to Pakistan through its mission in Islamabad protesting against these incidents.
Pakistan has also been accusing India of harassing its diplomats and releasing videos of alleged intimidation of its officials. However, the veracity of these videos could not be ascertained.
Islamabad has also called his High Commissioner to India back home for consultations on the issue.

American Probation and Parole Association presents:
Underage Drinking: Prevention and Intervention Principles for Corrections
Training Description:
Underage drinking continues to be a juvenile and criminal justice problem and a public health challenge. To date, many of the strategies to reduce underage drinking have focused on decreasing the availability of alcohol to underage drinkers, reducing opportunities and occasions for underage drinking, and diminishing the demand for alcohol among youth. While these strategies have proven successful in many ways and play a critical role in addressing the problem overall, some youth continue to engage in illegal alcohol consumption.
Community corrections agencies and professionals (e.g., diversion workers, juvenile and adult probation staff) play an important role on both the prevention and intervention side of enforcing and addressing underage drinking offenders. Although there is little research that is specific to what works best to intervene with underage drinking offenders, there is research on evidence-based intervention practices in community corrections that can be applied to these types of offenders to increase our effectiveness with this population of young people.
With funding and support from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) has partnered with the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation (PIRE) to develop a set of guiding principles, based on evidence-based practices, to assist community corrections in responding more effectively to underage drinking offenders. This seminar is designed to assist community corrections professionals in defining and refining their role in addressing underage drinking offenders more effectively.
By the conclusion of this training seminar, participants will be able to:
•· Discuss the purpose of the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Program from a national, state, and local perspective.
•· Discuss the effects of underage drinking on individuals and communities and the legal issues related to supervising underage drinking offenders.
•· Explain six principles for the community supervision of underage drinking offenders.
•· Identify 4-8 practices that community supervision staff can implement to enhance their effectiveness with underage drinking offenders on their caseload.
•· Describe how to enhance and/or engage in partnerships with other community agencies in prevention and intervention efforts around underage drinking.
•· Discuss examples of community corrections agencies (e.g., pretrial, diversion, probation) that have implemented promising practices in addressing underage drinking offenders.

THE Americans always suspected it. Israel always knew about it. And yet, Iran has consistently denied it.
Now, a researcher has claimed that the Iranian regime is closer than ever before to creating a nuclear bomb.
According to RAND Corporation researcher Gregory S. Jones, Tehran could have enough for its first bomb within eight weeks, Jones said in a report published this week at its current rate of uranium enrichment.
The claim was made by Jones in a report published this week.
Despite reports of setbacks in its nuclear program, the Iranian regime is steadily progressing towards a bomb, he said. However, Jones said, there is nothing the US can do to stop Tehran, short of military occupation.
Jones has based his report on recent findings by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), published two weeks ago. Making the bomb will take around two months, he says, because constructing a nuclear warhead is a complicated step in the process.
Stopping Iran will require deploying forces on the ground, because airstrikes are no longer sufficient, he said. The reality is that the US and Israel have failed to keep Iran from developing a nuclear warhead whenever it wants, Jones said.
The best option for the US now is to recognize that this policy has failed and decide on the following steps, based on realistic assessment of Iranian uranium-enrichment efforts, he added.
Tehran has produced 38.3 kg of uranium enriched at 19.7%. If its centrifuges continue to work at the current capacity, it will take around two months for the Iranian regime to produce the 20 kg of uranium enriched to 90% required for the production of a nuclear warhead, the researcher added.

How do you define "humanity"? What is your contribution to the collective space of humanity? How does your spiritual path support this definition and contributions?
I have been thinking about these questions ever since they were put forth to me, and I am realizing that my definition of humanity is actually pretty broad. In my own mind, I have been using the term "personhood" as opposed to "humanity" to denote an independent, sentient individual. Sometimes I feel as though the term humanity is not all embracing enough.

Services » Regional Services » Waste, hazardous substances and contaminated land » Contaminated land » Managing contaminated sites
Contaminated sites pose a threat to both our health and the environment and need to be managed. To assess how much of a threat they pose we need to identify the number of sites in the Region. Waikato Regional Council is working with the city and district councils within our Region to compile a list of properties with contaminated sites.
On this page: Identifying contaminated sites, Assessing risk, Minimising risk, What you can do
The management of contaminated sites involves four steps:
The Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) lists 52 specific land uses that can potentially cause contamination of sites. Waikato Regional Council is working with city and district councils to compile a register of properties within our region where activities on the HAIL have historically or are currently being carried out. This register is known as the Land Use Information Register.
Properties listed on the Land Use Information Register are assigned a category depending on how much is known about the site.
Unverified - sites where activities listed in the HAIL may have taken place, or are taking place, but this has not yet been independently verified. These sites will be verified before testing for contamination takes place.
Verified - sites where activities listed in the HAIL have taken place, or are taking place. It is likely that contamination may be present and samples may be taken for further testing.
Confirmed contaminated - sites where contamination is present and has been confirmed by chemical analysis.
Remediated - sites that have been cleaned up.
Currently there are 107 sites in our region listed as Confirmed Contaminated. However, the actual number of contaminated sites is likely to be much higher than this as more sites get tested.
Over time information on the Land Use Information Register will be recorded in Land Information Memoranda (LIMs) and Project Information Memoranda (PIMs). An added bonus of this system will be the protection for property buyers who may be unaware that a site is potentially contaminated. If a site has been identified as falling into Category V, this will become apparent when a title search has been conducted by a buyer's lawyer.
A series of four brochures (available below) have been developed on the topics of what you need to know when:
Buying a property
(807 kb, 115 seconds to download, 56k modem)
Selling a property
(801 kb, 114 seconds to download, 56k modem)
Conveyancing a property
(806 kb, 115 seconds to download, 56k modem)
Valuing a property
(795 kb, 113 seconds to download, 56k modem)
Information includes why contamination is a problem, how to find out if land is contaminated, who is responsible for a contaminated site, regional and unitary council role in contaminated land as well as advice for prospective buyers, sellers, lawyers and valuers.

Contaminated sites can pose risks to both the environment and human health. It is important that we assess the amount of risk posed by a site.
The Ministry for the Environment has developed a rapid risk screening system(external link) for ranking contaminated sites as being of high, medium or low risk. Using the source-pathway-receptor model, categories are determined by the following factors:
Contaminants can move from the source to the receptor via food, air and water (such as contaminated surface water or ground water).
For people the main ways (pathways) contaminants can enter our bodies are by:
Sites that are assessed as being high risk will be of the highest priority for remediation work.
Risks associated with contaminated sites can be minimised by breaking the source-pathway-receptor chain. This can be done by:
The first approach implies a complete cleanup of a contaminated site (remediation), while the second and third approaches are possible management options. In the case of soil intended for home gardens, remediation is the preferred option.

Olivia Waterhouse has just graduated from nursing school and has her whole life ahead of her—until she gets drafted. Problem is, she isn't being forced into the Army, she's been chosen as a Kindred bride.
The Kindred are huge alien warriors—a race of genetic traders whose population is ninety-five percent male. After saving Earth from the threat of invasion they demand a reward—the right to find brides among the population. The chances of being chosen are about the same as those of winning the lottery—guess it's just Liv's lucky day.
Baird is a Beast Kindred who recently escaped imprisonment and torture at the hands of the malevolent Scourge. Through the torment and pain only one thing kept him sane—the thought of finding and claiming his bride—Olivia. His need to possess her is a burning intensity that threatens to consume them both.
Angry at having her future and her family taken away from her, Liv vows to fight back the only way she can—by resisting. She has one month on the Kindred Mothership with Baird—their claiming period. If she can keep from having bonding sex with him during that time, she can go home and get on with her life on Earth.
But Baird isn't going to make it easy for her. Every week he is allowed to touch Liv more and more intimately and according to the contract she signed, she has to let him. She's determined to resist him but his touch sets her on fire. And just as she thinks she knows what she wants, a twist of fate and an attack by the faceless Scourge AllFather changes everything…
In a possible future the people of Earth have discovered that there is indeed intelligent life in space and unfortunately not all of it is friendly. The Scourge is a race that seeks to conquer and their enemy the Kindred has offered to help protect Earth with their advanced technology, but there's a catch! The various types of Kindred each search for that one woman who would complete them and their terms are simply this...all single young women agree to meet and spend thirty days with a Kindred warrior who wishes to claim them and if they bond, then the female is claimed.
As this story begins, we meet Olivia who keeps dreaming of a huge male but gets the shock of her life when she is drafted as a possible bride. Oh yes, you've guessed it, the man of her dreams is Baird, a Beast Kindred warrior, who has only just recently survived the Scourge and their torture. Olivia has no intention of staying with Baird but reluctantly agrees to spend the allotted thirty days aboard his ship getting to know him. The Kindred have a uniquely erotic way of discovering how compatible they are and Olivia's willpower is about to be put to the test. Baird has no doubt they belong together but the fiercely independent Olivia struggles against all her instincts to resist, but sometimes resistance is futile!
I first read this book a couple of years ago and it got me hooked on sci-fi romances. I've seen many others who write in this genre but somehow they never quite compare. Claimed started my personal erotic journey and listening to it now that it's finally available on audio, was quite a revelation. I'd always thought maybe Olivia was a little irritating at times, but hearing the spin the narrator put on it just confirmed how much growth she went through as the story progressed. It was clearly a huge dilemma for Olivia, as on the one hand she has a twin she loves back on Earth, not to forget also a career as a nurse. Then she also has the very real connection with Baird, who let's face it is one very tempting hunk of manhood! Baird is both patient and yet exasperated by her at times and yet his primary focus is always Olivia's comfort and safety and you know what, he is a bit of a sweetie! Add in alien technology, unusual food and of course the odd (make that very odd!) creature and this is a very entertaining story.
Now this was my first ever listen to an audio book so I should say a little about my experience. I knew it would be a female narrator but it still took me a little while to get used to the voice. I think that's possibly because I am English and not from the other side of the pond, but once my ear adjusted, shall we say, I was fine. I thought she did a very good job on distinguishing between the various characters voices and enjoyed the way her voice range altered as needed. I do read fast so listening to the spoken word was a much slower experience than I had anticipated but I found myself able to enjoy the story whilst going through my daily routine and chopping vegetables has never been so pleasurable! I think I must be somewhat sheltered though as when certain words were spoken initially I found myself shocked and that surprised me. I'm used to reading all sorts of colourful language but just not hearing it! My reaction is quite funny really and maybe an indicator that I should keep trying to broaden my horizons and try more audio books.
If you seek a passionate story to make you tingle then Ms Anderson always delivers in spades. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and always recommend this series to my friends who enjoy a little sexy escapism. Whether you read it for yourself or listen to it, if you want a journey you will not forget then get this book!
Highly Recommended!!!!


text: The shed (小屋 koya) is absent in Version 3.0 and Version 6.23 . It only appears in Version 1 and 5. The Old Building was made to replace the Shed since it is no longer used in Version 6.23. Not much information can be given about the Shed due to its very low use. It can be seen more as a decoration. In Version 1.1, The Shed is accessable once the player takes control of Kazuya. He heads into The Shed and takes a rope ladder. He then proceeds to place it on The Well and safely climb down, whilst in Version 5.2, The Shed is used. It can be used after recruiting your friends into the party and jumping out a window in the Annex. Once entering the shed the Oni pops up from the floor and gives the player an endless chase. It is also one of the escape routes of the Mansion in Version 5.2.


text: I loaded a CD and copy and pasted all of the contents into a burn folder. I then loaded a CD-R and then went to the burn folder and clicked "burn disk" My question: Will the burned CD be an exact duplicate? I am concerned that there may be some hidden files and the CD will not function the way it is supposed to. What is the best way to create an exact duplicate of a CD with the software provided by OSX?

Hi friends! Diana here to share with you my layout using the FANTASTIC cuts by JustNick and this month's kit Happy Place. We are having a Giveaway, so make sure to check back on the Blog during the week! You can check out the digital files I used and others clicking below.
I have to confess I LOVE flowers. I love them on pattern paper, as embellishments, shapes–you name it, I gravitate toward it! So when I saw the Doodle Daisy background I HAD to use it, and that was even before I knew what I would use it for! 😉 I looked through my pictures and found some of my daughter and her friends at Prom-their dresses matched the paper in the kit and the cut was perfect!I wanted to use something fun and whimsical for the title so I used the Simple Set Alpha. I cut everything out in white card stock and sprayed it with Color Shine to match the colors in the picture and paper. I love this combo!
Thank so much for stopping by the Blog today! I hope you go check out the amazing cut files at Just Nick Studio and come back each day this week to see our Design Team's creations! Check out more at our Facebook Page-Scrapbook Circle of Friends.

Hey everyone!
A couple of days ago I got myself a box of watercolors because I wanted to paint inside some doodles that I have. I remembered that someone did their nails with watercolors, so I couldn't wait to try it out myself. I already did a watercolor effect using acrylic paint.
I painted my nails with a white matte base. I think that it's better to use a matte base instead of shiny because the watercolor sticks better to it. I used a blue, green and yellow watercolor and made the background. It looked really nice as it was, but I wanted to make it more wearable by stamping a splattered design from the plate BM-416 using the same white polish that I used for the base.
It's crucial that you put a thick and long lasting top coat afterwards, otherwise the design will wash off really fast.
Thanks for reading!

Ft Lauderdale Deep Sea Fishing 2-14-2012
High seas and bad weather have made Fort Lauderdale deep sea fishing kind of slow for the last two weeks. Fishing has started to pick up the last couple of days though, and with spring just around the corner Fort Lauderdale deep sea fishing will only get better. Offshore fishing the last couple of weeks has seen a mixed bag of fish. Some sailfish, mahi-mahi and king mackerel were being caught along with skipjacks and blackfin tuna. Bottom fishing has put some fish in the boat when trolling gets slow. The strong cold front that blew through the last couple of days should really help to improve fishing.

Cassie was brought in to us after being lethargic and miserable for a few days. After investigation, we found that Cassie was suffering from peritonitis, which is infection in the abdomen, and she needed emergency surgery to find the cause.
Supportive treatment (fluids and antibiotics) were given immediately and later that evening, surgery was performed. A perforated gastric ulcer was found which was removed and the stomach sutured together, then her abdomen was flushed out to remove as much infection as possible.
Cassie was very ill for several days and didn't want to eat so had a second surgery to place a feeding tube into the intestines and bypass the stomach so we could feed her. As she was so poorly and hadn't been eating, the protein levels in her blood dropped making her even more poorly. We were able to support her with infusions of plasma and artificial proteins.
We were very worried that we might lose her but Cassie put up a really good fight and over the next few days rallied enough to go home on lots of medications and continued tube feeding (her owners are extremely dedicated!).
After a week she was starting to eat for herself and had the feeding tube removed. Cassie is going from strength to strength and we are so happy she has done so well after such a tough time!
Tylee was was admitted to the hospital after becoming inappetent, lethargic and was showing signs of shock. Her blood tests indicated severe electrolyte abnormalities (the salts in her blood) and other changes consistent with a problem called Addison's disease.
Addisons is a hormonal disease in which the body becomes unable to produce the steroids needed for normal functioning. Tylee was experiencing what is know as an 'Addisonian Crisis'.
We treated Tylee with steroids and intravenous fluids and thankfully she made a fantastic recovery over the next few days. Tylee was a wonderful patient and very tolerant of the repeated blood samples she needed whilst we stabilised her.
She will need lifelong medication to keep her condition under control but is now back to her usual bright and happy self at home!
For those of you who don't know.... Poppet was brought to us as a stray in a
dreadful state - she had skin infections, mammary masses, eye infections and
was also found to be diabetic.
Poppet was spayed, had her mammary masses removed, performed an entropion and we began monitoring and treatment to stabilise her diabetes.
Poppet has since been rehomed and is now called Millie. She visits us regularly and is settling in brilliantly with her new pals.
After a few weeks of intermittent lameness, Djembe presented to us with a high temperature and a large swelling, later discovered to be an abscess, in his abdominal body wall.
After a two surgeries and an ultrasound scan, we found a grass seed (see photo) hiding between his muscles. This had been migrating around his body causing him to feel intermittently unwell eventually settling and causing a nasty infection.
This explained why initially his symptoms resolved with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. It is suspected that this grass seed entered Djembe's foot initially (causing the lameness) and then tracked up his leg, eventually burrowing into his body wall.
** Grass seeds most commonly get stuck in the feet or ears and are usually easier to find! But as Djembe proves, they can be much more serious. At this time of year make sure you check your dogs for grass seeds after walks particularly between their toes and around their ears **
Lucky was diagnosed with a bladder stone - these stones are often caused by
a high calcium level in guinea pigs urine. Lucky underwent an abdominal
surgery called a Cystotomy to remove this stone.
General anaesthesia is very risky in small exotics such as rabbits, guineas, mice and rats so we were all exceptionally happy to have Lucky round following her successful operation.
Lucky made a speedy recovery and was discharged home for on-going care the next day :-)
Following CT diagnostics, Benson was diagnosed with a tumour on his maxilla (upper jaw). This needed to be surgically removed which involved not only removing the tumour, but a large portion of the maxilla with it!!
This surgery was incredibly complex and we even needed blood products on standby so we could administer a transfusion if necessary!!
Surgery was successful and Benson made an amazingly quick recovery in hospital – he was even eating his breakfast 'with gusto' the morning after so we were happy to send him home to fully recuperate.
Benson was wonderful to nurse – so brave and loved a cuddle!
Picture attached is just 3 days post-surgery
Gorgeous (but very poorly) Sophie came to the surgery after losing weight and becoming breathless on walks.
After blood tests, xrays and other tests, she was diagnosed with a lungworm infection - this had not only affected her lungs, but reduced her bloods ability to clot, putting her at high risk of internal bleeding.
Two transfusions and a long hospital stay later, she is finally on the mend!! She was an amazing dog to nurse - such a gentle lady and such a fighter!!
Attached are some photos of her receiving her transfusion and also one photo of her well on the road to recovery and with a brightness back in her eyes!
Please remember that lungworm can be fatal and preventative products are available
Saffie the Pekingese managed to fracture her lower jaw in a scrap with her housemate!
We used an external fixator to secure the fracture and allow the bones to heal.
Saffie is now sporting (and tolerating!) a 'bumper bar' on her jaw..... She was very brave throughout her stay at the hospital and is coping well at home!!
Nikki managed to accidentally swallow a stone when playing with her toy on the beach. She ended up with a gut obstruction causing her to be very poorly :-(
We operated on her (after stabilising her enough for general anaesthesia with some intravenous fluids and medications) and removed the stone from her jejunum (which is high up in the small intestines).
As you can see from her xray... it was a rather large stone!! The second picture is Nikki at her post op check 6 days after surgery.
Nikki was very brave throughout her ordeal and is such a lovely girl.
Thankfully, she has made a full and swift recovery!
Chester came into us when his owners noticed he had laboured breathing. After x-raying him, we found that he had lots of fluid on his lungs which was making it difficult to breathe.
The fluid was found to be pus indicating a severe infection. We placed a large chest drain and for the following days, flushed out his chest removing as much pus as possible. Chester remained in the hospital for a week on a cocktail of... pain medication and antibiotics.
Chester made great improvement daily and throughout the whole of his illness, he was such a friendly boy, just about managing to purr even when we were draining his chest - which I am sure you can imagine, is slightly uncomfortable!!
Chester is such a lovely (and particularly handsome!!) cat and a fond favourite with all of the Barrow Hill Staff. He is recuperating at home and is so far making excellent progress from this life-threatening illness.
