(Author's note: Spencer's Soapbox is a weekly column here on SHH where yours truly tries to spur a conversation on specific topics. Dive in to the latest installment below and check out the previous ones by clicking here.)
Last week, the American Library Association released its list of the top 10 "Frequently Challenged Books" of 2014, and on that list were three comics: Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi; Drama, by Raina Telgemeier; and Saga, by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples. Granted none of these are specifically about superheroes, but my love for the medium goes beyond just capes and cowls, so this is going to be a different kind of soapbox. The ALA comes to collect this list by tallying the books that have received the most complaints over the year, and they define a complaint as such: "a formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that a book or other material be restricted or removed because of its content or appropriateness." What makes this list even better is they provide the reasons people find the content objectionable, most of which are laughable and show no knowledge of the context of these types of stories or any understanding of their importance.
For the purposes of time, I want to focus on the inclusion of Saga on this list, but rest assured I think it's absurd that both Persepolis and Drama are also included as the complaints levied against them are totally unfounded to someone that's actually read the material. Saga, if you're not familiar with it, is a comic series that to date has won 6 Eisner Awards (recently nominated for three more), 6 Harvey Awards, and the 2013 Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story. It's an epic sci-fi/fantasy series that tells the story of the winged Alana and the horned Marko and their winged and horned daughter Hazel. So far in the series we've seen planet-sized eggs, giant fire-breathing turtles, specter babysitters, and a cat that can tell when people are lying. It is consistently one of the best comics released every month and is always within the top 25 selling comics. There is no denying the quality of the book.
So what about Saga managed to get this comic on the list of most-challenged books? The cited reasons read as follows: "nudity, offensive language, sexually explicit, and unsuited for age group." This is where I point out that just because something is a comic book does not mean that it's necessarily for children, something that has been true for decades at this point. In fact, Saga is clearly marked on each issue, trade paperback, and hard cover as being for "Mature" readers. Just like there is no dispute about the quality, I won't tiptoe around the fact that it deals with subjects and themes that are definitely not for kids, and on more than one occasion has been blocked from a digital release due to the sexual nature of some panels (which is an entire soapbox to itself). It's also totally within the realm of reason that people don't want their kids to read this type of material, that's up to them, but to write a complaint asking a library to pull it from their shelves so others can't read it either? Best to examine your priorities if limiting the availability of art is at the top of the list, especially art that is fully aware it's not for young eyes.
There's another reason that Saga was put on this list, which is what birthed this entire piece. It was found objectionable because some parties claim it to be "Anti-Family." This is like claiming that The Sound of Music or The Wizard of Oz are anti-family, it is fundamentally wrong on every level and shows zero comprehension of the source material. The entire point of Saga is that it's a story of a family trying to survive, to grow as a unit, to learn to love each other, to work past their problems, and to make life through all of its dysfunctions work out. They may fight, but all families do, there might be alienation between some of the characters and their parents, but that happens in real life. Marko and Alana's entire relationship is built on the fact that what they're doing is seen as an affront to the entire culture of both of their planets but it's their daughter that binds them together and allows the story to continue. Their love is one of the countless reasons that readers are able to have empathy and root for them, to keep reading. Perhaps it's that they don't have the "Traditional family structure" in Saga is why folks think the comic is "Anti-Family," but families don't fit into a "Leave It to Beaver" mold anymore and fiction shouldn't be punished for imitating life in that regard.
Comics like Saga are important for a variety of reasons. They continue the tradition that comics are a medium, not a childhood past time. The fact that it's long form allows it to tackle any number of different subjects, and in just 27 short issues it's already touched on dozens from sex trafficking to prisoners of war and the ethics of hitmen to the function of royalty in the modern world. Saga will be talked about, studied, and ripped off for years to come, and it's going to continue being relevant. It's going to keep winning awards and it's going to keep challenging the status quo. It's fine if someone doesn't want to read it, that's their loss, but to say that something this good and this important doesn't belong in the hands of readers around the country is absurd. Plus, to assert that it presents an agenda wholly opposite of its intention is no fault of the comic's but of a clueless reader.

Here the attitude of the wellness facilitator is crucial. A healing
communication is one recognizing the inherent worth of each person, and
supporting them in accepting and loving themselves. Until we accept
ourselves where we are now, we cannot move forward. Acceptance does not
mean passivity or dishonesty. It is simply a non-judgmental statement
of what is at this point in time.
The role of the wellness facilitator is then to provide a "safe
space," an environment in which people feel free to be
themselves - to accept the entirety of who they are - and supported in
taking responsibility for their own wellbeing.
We can help by encouraging others to recognize and contact their own
inner potential for achieving and maintaining wellbeing. Basic to this
is the understanding that health is a reflection of the physical,
mental/emotional and spiritual dimensions of being, and that all are
Some of those coming for help may have few apparent strengths, but
there is always something on which we can focus and help grow. We can
help by conveying the message that each of us is responsible for how we
respond to problems and that we can perceive them as opportunities for growth.
We can help convey this by actively involving clients in their own
care - from gathering information to decision-making and the consequent
actions taken. We can support a person in making choices based on what
she feels is the most appropriate to her growth right now, rather than
on some idealized version an expert (we) thinks is best.
We can frequently uncover opportunities for helping by being open
and accepting what is being said - and not said. In simply being with
someone, what is needed often becomes apparent - for every one knows
inside of themselves what she needs - our job is to encourage and support
her in accessing, and trusting, and acting on that knowing.
In working with a person, we can introduce the idea that she may
have something to do with her pain, and that she can participate in her
own healing. We can suggest that she ask questions like "What is this
pain telling me?" and "Why is this happening now?"
People whose health is so low that they feel devoid of any energy
for movement can begin to recognize they have more response-ability
than they thought as they begin to feel better from the benefits of
massage, shiatsu, or simple relaxation exercises.
It is important that people not try to change too much at once. If
you are working with someone on a regular basis, suggest a written
contract - a realistic one - between the two of you as to what they want to
do over a period of time.
We can use a variety of means for conveying our message, from
questionnaires and books to audiovisual materials. Biofeedback is an
invaluable aid in graphically illustrating how the stress levels of a
client manifest through her body. She can then learn to consciously
relax at will. Even simple breathing/relaxation exercises can
illustrate this point.
Those involved in medical practice, can see that, along with the
basics of anatomy and physiology, a knowledge of the body/mind/spirit
connection and of alternative treatment modes is conveyed.
If working within institutional environments, we do our best to
humanize them - with music, color, touch, and plants - recognizing it is
not just an unwell body coming for help, but a whole person.
we can put out the "truth" as we understand it, to anyone willing to
hear, it is pointless to be attached to convincing anyone else. A
refusal to take our advice does not necessarily mean it was not helpful
or that the person is stubborn. Her decision may look crazy to us, but
she is doing what she needs to do to learn whatever she needs learn. We
need to respect the right of others to make their own decisions in
their own time. This is the test of who we really care about. Are we
here to be right or to honor the right of every person who comes our
way to be responsible for her own life?

Latest revision as of 17:56, 17 June 2013
Computer printout of the WOW! signal received August 15, 1977 at the Ohio State University Radio Observatory, home of the "Big Ear" radio telescope. This signal may be the first record of contact with extra terrestrial intelligence.
Dr. John D. Kraus, a professor of electrical engineering and astronomy at The Ohio State University, designed the Big Ear Radio Telescope. Before constructing the Big Ear Radio Observatory, Kraus constructed a prototype telescope on the roofs of two Ohio State buildings. The prototype cost twenty-three thousand dollars, and its purpose was to detect radio waves in outer space. Kraus hoped that his telescope would help find extraterrestrial life in space. This initial telescope proved successful, and Kraus received funding from numerous sources to construct a larger version of his radio telescope.
In 1956, Ohio Wesleyan University agreed to let Kraus and The Ohio State University build a radio observatory on twenty acres of land owned by Ohio Wesleyan. This land was located near Ohio Wesleyan's Perkins Observatory. Kraus chose this site because of its rural nature -- at least at the time -- and the absence of radio signals that could interfere with the telescope's observations. To reduce the cost of construction, Kraus relied on students to build most of the observatory. Construction took several years, and the telescope and the observatory did not become operational until 1963. The observatory was larger than three football fields.
Kraus's first goal was to map outer space for radio waves. Scientists completed this project in 1973, and they then began to try and detect radio transmissions from extraterrestrial life. The Big Ear Radio Telescope failed to detect definitively extraterrestrial life, however, in 1977, the telescope received a powerful signal, known as the "Wow!" signal. Scientists remain uncertain what generated this signal and have failed to ever receive a similar signal.
The Big Ear Radio Observatory scientists received recognition by the Guinness Book of Records for conducting the longest search for extraterrestrial life. Unfortunately for the scientists and the Big Ear Radio Telescope, land developers purchased the land that the observatory sat upon in 1983. In 1997, the developers ordered the closure of the observatory, so that they could expand a golf course and construct several hundred homes on the site. The developers demolished the Big Ear Radio Observatory in 1998.

Makeup For Brides – Do's and Don'ts
Makeup for brides is an art unto itself, and like any art-form, the key to…
Makeup for brides is an art unto itself, and like any art-form, the key to success is to have a great base to work with. For bridal makeup, this means flawless foundation. For most women their wedding day is the most photographed day of their lives, so this needs to be taken into consideration when doing makeup for brides. This means that contouring and highlighting is essential, and more makeup than usual on the eyes, but subtly done so as not to overpower the whole look.
An increasingly popular way of achieving a flawless base with seamless contours and highlighting is by airbrushing. Airbrush makeup is in fact perfect makeup for brides because it flows on the skin faultlessly, is extremely long wearing and won't rub off when the congratulatory hugs and kisses start to come your way.
For cultures like the Indian sub-continent and Arab brides airbrushing can provide the heavy contouring needed for traditional bridal looks but without the painted look that so often results from manual application of foundation and contouring.
The perfect facial makeup for brides will usually have highlighting on brow-bones, upper cheek-bones and down the center of the nose, with contouring under cheek-bones, along the sides of the nose, at the temples and along the jaw-line. This all works to cleverly slim the face and more importantly, give depth in photographs so that you don't look flat in your pictures. Maklon Kosmetik Airbrushing is definitely the easiest way to achieve this look, and you won't need to sit in the chair for hours to get it either.
The eyes need to be done in such a way as to capture the light in a photograph, so this means highlighting in the center of the lid, the corner of the eye and the brow bone. Usually colors are kept in muted tones or frosty whites and grays. False lashes are a good touch in makeup for brides, especially if it is a few individual lashes places at the outer corner of the eye.
Lips should be kept simple – strong colors are more likely to kiss off during the course of the wedding, so you want to be able to maintain your look throughout the day. Reds will make teeth look yellow, so steer clear of strong reds as well. Neutral pinks are your best bet for bridal makeup.
A key thing to remember is that makeup for brides should not obscure the bride's natural features; it should rather highlight her beauty in a way which looks natural.

#zombies #mentalillness #beacons #emotions
Today is one of those days so I thought I would write about it.
Because there are not to many people out there who know what it's like to be in a body and head like mine and maybe, just maybe, if I share a small snippet of it someone out there might understand, or connect with it in a way that makes them feel less alone.
So I'm angry. Bitterly destructive and repulsively angry. At EVERYONE and EVERYTHING.
I am angry at the people I have been trying to build and support. I am angry at the people who have stolen my ideas and claimed them as their own achievements and innovations. I am angry at friends who are not friends. I am angry at family. I am angry at my kids and I am angry at my husband. Actually, there probably isn't anyone in the world at the moment that I am not angry at.
And I feel completely betrayed. Yep, I'm the bitter victim. Unforgivably soul murdered.
I feel like someone has stretched out their greasy disgusting self absorbed hands, tore into the exposed and bleeding flesh of my heart, and ripped it out in the most painful and agonising way for their own self gain. And everyone around has laughed and sniggered as they spit "what's the big deal? It's just a heart and soul… It happens to everyone. It was nothing important so just get over it… We will."
And IF you dare ask me, right now, I am completely justified and full of destain. All of these people have wronged me in some way that it's ok I am so pissed. They have all used my tolerance and generosity, and taken advantage of it for their own gain. Everyone is against me and only looking out for themselves so I rightfully deserve retribution.
In my mind anyway.
Well not just in my mind, but in every fibre of my being. It bleeds through my veins and floods every muscle and tendon with passion and hell fire. With every breathe the intensity of emotion is not only ignited but fanned into an all encompassing and ferocious bushfire. Like a bear tearing through flesh with its bare teeth dripping with blood.
It's ok. You are probably thinking "ummmm ewwww….this is not rational. Completely not normal. I think she needs help." And to some degree you are right. This isn't rational, not for me anyway. Usually I am relatively calm, caring, considering things very rationally and with tolerance. Balanced and understanding. But not when I am like this.
Let me emphasise not normal.
Like in the movie Maggie. Have you seen Maggie? Maggie is a girl infected with this zombie virus and as she sniffs and inhales the scent mere centremeters from his face, she is constantly fighting the agonising inner urges of her body to avoid the tantalising enjoyment of dripping blood on her teeth from ripping out her fathers brains.
Now you are cringing! Yes sick I know, but I am trying to help you to visualise and experience the shear intensity and overwhelming compultions of "normal" emotions that invade individuals with a mental illness such as the one I live with on a regular basis.
And what happens next? She gently and so deliberately leans forward ever so slowly and kisses him on the forehead and walks away. Ultimate self-control.
So for one moment you to gain some flicker of understanding to the immense self control involved to be able to live a "normal" full and meaningful life.
No. We people who live with mental illness are not virus ridden zombies ready to rip people's brains out, or "crazy psycho murders" for that fact. Actually those labels and terms are hideously stigmatising and do not in any way help me or any individual move into a position of wellness or empowerment. Actually these experiences are so painful and torturous that if you must link us to zombies, perhaps think about how many lives of people living with mental illness end up the way Maggies did. I can attest that these experiences are nightmarish for those who have lived and endured them.
But what I am trying to say is that I have come through my Illness enough years now to know that these thoughts and overwhelming feelings that are trying to devour my life… Are for me, irrational. Like a zombie virus eating at who I am.
And in the past I have needed help. I've needed help from professionals to identify where this isn't normal for me. Where it came from, how it effects my functioning, and what I can do to put structures in place to create and live the life I want. I have needed help from family to be patient and support me in my learning about my illness and myself. I have needed help by good friends and peers to support and understand at times when I am all but alienating them from my life.
But not normal??? On the contrary….for many many years, this has been very "normal". And when I ignored it, it was as destructive and terminal as a rogue zombie virus would be in someone's life. And Actually, for quite a few people, this is their normal.
And it's not just irrational short periods of "zombie" anger and frustration. It's also those grave dark days where all I can think about is how to harm myself, how to disappear, how to escape and finally end this constant torment that will not shut up. How to end the black and white/ on and off thinking. How to stop hurting others with my impulsiveness. It's the days where I am so wired I cannot get my head to stop and all I can do is write and write and write every new idea and creation that comes into my head and never get rest. Or the days where I am so petrified to socialise, leave the house, talk to anyone. And the days where negative and unhelpful thoughts fill my head about how much people hate me, and are "thinking" nasty things about me and how all these things are true. That I am alone and rejected and abandoned. And the days when I am hypersexual, over eating, starving, drinking, spending….. THOSE DAYS when the inner zombie is in control.
Oh and did I tell you that can all be one day?
Sounds exhausting huh? It is!
….even though I can't "see" that my mind is blinding me in this moment, over time I have created signals for myself to help me regain composure and silence this thing. When I so quickly slip into these periods of time that my ship starts to run off course, I can recognise the beacons and alarms that I have personally set to remind me who I am ( not a zombie!) and to guide me back to the safe path I want to travel so I can continue to build the life I want to live.
These "beacons" have become my pillars to wellness.
Like bumpers on a bowling ally they push me back down the right direction on that ally way to hit those pins. I hit the side and suddenly think "checklist" and more times than not I find there is a box unchecked.
I bet you are wondering if there were boxes unchecked when I hit that bumper zombie episode this time?
YES! Of course! Hindsight is beautiful isn't it!
I can clearly remember hearing the alarms screaming at me in the background of my tunnel vision. I couldn't see them in my blindness them but I could hear them. Lucky I set those extra alarms. I had forgotten a couple of my routine wellness tasks.
THAT COULD HAVE ENDED ALOT WORSE! Thank goodness for beacons.
And over time what I have learnt is that everyone has these beacons…. Yes…EVERYONE.
Everyone has a boundary that stands between living well and living unwell. It might not incorporate a mental illness, maybe unwell is diabetes or cancer? Either way, the unfortunate thing is not everyone knows about them, nor have they trained themselves or others to recognise them.
The trick is to work out what YOUR beacons and bumpers look like because they WILL be different to mine. And they will help you and those around you to live a quality life with value and meaning together regardless of the circumstances.
I know this because this zombie story is only one piece of the jigsaw that makes the tapestry of my life and I have had to set beacons all over the place to help me to manage every area to make sure I (any everyone else) stay afloat. I'm sure your life must be much the same.
So maybe your life can be a little (or a lot) like my situation above? Maybe you are loving and walking with someone who has gone a little (or a lot) off course? If you are one of these people I am writing this for you.
I am not suggesting you call me, yourself or anyone you know with a mental illness a zombie. This is just a personal descriptive word that "today" I feel portrays how I feel in these moments. Next time it might be something different and I may dispise being called a zombie. Each to their own and in their own time.
I'm telling you this so you know someone else feels how you do. There are others like me who feel out of control at times and hate the way they behave, think and feel. None of those things change who we are. And if we talk about it (even the scary, embarrassing bits) maybe we can all start to be little light houses that help someone else (just one person) find their beacons and avoid those rocks. Maybe together we can set some beacons that helps our ships stay on course and maybe we can enjoy the cruise together. 💕💕

Pretend news channel MSNBC released some pretend analysis tonight. (Let's be honest. No article citing Media Matters as a source is remotely credible.) It's so clever to suggest that Bergdahl is the GOP's new thing rather than just Obama's latest screw up.
Not surprisingly, their nonsense triggered a minor snarkalanche.
If MSNBC actually covered news, they might have saved dear leader some headaches.
Bowe Bergdahl isn't a new anything.

WASHINGTON -- Private American contractors who help the CIA capture terrorism suspects abroad and transfer them to secret jails are increasingly becoming the target of investigations in Europe and at home.
In Italy, Sweden, Germany, and the United States, lawmakers, public prosecutors, and human rights groups are scrutinizing the role of the US companies, which are far easier to track down and hold accountable than the CIA.
In some cases, inquiries focus on companies that appear to be thinly veiled CIA fronts. A lawsuit brought last week by the American Civil Liberties Union against three obscure companies accused of conspiring with the secret agency is seeking financial compensation for a German man who alleges he was wrongfully imprisoned and tortured by the CIA. But in other cases, scrutiny by European investigators and human rights advocates has focused on mainstream companies whose part-time work for the CIA now threatens to leave a permanent mark on their reputations.
The lawsuit and the European inquiries -- which have named a handful of private aircraft charter companies -- could help to peel back the veil of secrecy surrounding the ''rendition" operations, which have provoked widespread criticism and concerns that terrorism suspects are taken to countries where they might be tortured. Last week on a trip to Europe, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended the practice as a necessary tactic in the war on terrorism, but underscored the need for secrecy.
In addition to the ACLU lawsuit, attention has also come from Amnesty International, which is investigating hundreds of flights made by private US companies, from an Italian prosecutor, and even from ordinary citizens who look for the private planes.
New-York based Richmor Aviation, one of the nation's oldest aircraft chartering and management companies, has borne the brunt of Europe's outrage over the secret CIA flights and detentions. In February 2003, according to flight records, it provided a private jet and a pilot for a trip from a US military base in Germany to Cairo.
European investigators now believe that flight was part of a CIA rendition mission in Milan that secretly captured Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, a Muslim cleric suspected of terrorism, and flew him via Germany to Egypt, where he alleged later that he had been tortured.
The case has prompted Italian prosecutors to charge 22 purported CIA operatives with kidnapping, although Italian prosecutors acknowledge they may never be able to find and arrest the agents.
Law enforcement officials in Germany, a newspaper in Portugal, and researchers with Amnesty have begun examining Richmor's flight records for signs that the flights may have violated local or international laws.
The Gulfstream jet that Richmor leased to the CIA, owned by Red Sox part-owner Phillip H. Morse,, is followed by plane-spotting hobbyists all over the world who report on the Internet when they spot the plane landing at airports and track its tail number -- originally N85VM -- in Federation Aviation Administration records. Every trip seems to spark scrutiny, said Mahlon Richards, a co-owner of the company.
''It has a very negative effect on our business," Richards said. ''It is getting out of hand."
Recently Swedish members of parliament announced an inquiry into a 2002 flight by a Richmor jet to Sweden, even though the company says the flight was just a private tour for a wedding party.
Specialists say the CIA uses private companies as a means of hiding agency involvement in secret operations. But those companies are far easier to punish than the CIA, as they are vulnerable to sanctions, crippling lawsuits, or simply bad publicity.
''People are starting to talk about what they are going to do. Are we going to recommend that these planes not be allowed to land?" said Anne Fitzgerald, a senior adviser at Amnesty International, who is helping to analyze the logs of thousands of flights -- including some by Richmor planes -- for a report on rendition due out next year. ''I guess if you are met by Germans waving placards, you are bound to think twice about traveling there."
On Friday, Italian prosecutor Armando Spataro, said in a telephone interview that he is ''very interested in pursuing" any private companies that might have been involved in Nasr's capture, but that he has no information so far about them.
Richmor was a subcontractor with little knowledge about the larger missions of the flights, Richards said in an earlier interview. He referred initial questions about the flights to
Last March, an employee for Computer Sciences Corporation who asked not to be named said that the company did not transport terrorism suspects but that it does transport senior US officials who want to keep a low profile.
On Friday, Michael Dickerson, spokesman for the company, said ''as a matter of policy, CSC does not comment on rumors or speculation regarding the existence of contractual relationships with the US intelligence community."
Government contracts involving intelligence matters are almost always kept from the public, said Steven Aftergood, director of the project on government secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists, a public policy, research, and advocacy organization.
''I don't even think you can get a copy of the CIA contract on janitorial services," he said. ''They consider that sensitive information."
The Associated Press reported in September that Richmor was one of 10 private aviation companies to be issued classified contracts in 2001 and 2002 by the Navy Engineering Logistics Office for the ''occasional airlift of [US Navy] cargo worldwide."
The Massachusetts-based Premier Executive Transport Services was also cited as having received a classified contract.
Last week, Premier was named alongside two other private companies in an ACLU lawsuit filed against former CIA director George Tenet and a host of ''John Doe" CIA operatives in another controversial rendition case. The suit was filed on behalf of Khaled al-Masri, a German man who says he was snatched from Macedonia in December 2003 and flown to Afghanistan, where he was then beaten and held incommunicado for five months before US officials determined they had captured the wrong man and let him go. Last week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters that Rice had admitted that Masri's abduction had been a ''mistake."
Steven Watt, a lawyer working on the lawsuit, acknowledged that it will be difficult -- if not impossible -- to uncover the true identities of the ''John Doe" operatives he is seeking to sue, but says he is optimistic that he can hold the private companies accountable.
''At least with the corporations, they have agents, we know where these people are," he said.
Watt said that in the case of Premier, which allegedly owned the executive jet that transported Masri to Afghanistan, he will deliver the legal papers to the company's registered agent, the Dedham-based law firm, Hill & Plakias.
Premier has no other physical address. Neither do its officers, who can only be traced to post office boxes in Virginia and Maryland.
Hill & Plakias has become the only public face of the company, bearing the brunt of a public protest in front of its offices in December 2004, after the Globe published an article disclosing Premier's connection to another rendition case in Sweden.
A second company named in the ACLU lawsuit on Masri's behalf is the North Carolina-based Aero Contractors, which allegedly provided the pilot and crew that flew him from Macedonia to Afghanistan. The New York Times has reported that Areo appears to be controlled by the CIA.
The third company named in the Masri suit is Keeler and Tate Management, a Nevada corporation that bought the Gulfstream jet shortly after the plane's Massachusetts connection was brought to light. It has no listed telephone number or physical address, and no phone number or address for its manager, Tyler Edward Tate, could be found.
Watt said that even if Keeler and Tate do not have a phone number, offices, or any employees, the company still has at least one asset that a court can seize to pay off damages to Masri: a plane.

The weather today has been awful so I was quite glad to sit this one out and let my friend take on the driving duties in treacherous conditions, it has to be said. Mind you, travelling in a Nissan Murano along the A1(M) seems like a safe bet in even the worst of conditions, but when you're not paying attention to the Sat-Nav, you're asking for bother. Yak yak yak.
We got there in the end though. Digitalab is situated on Stepney Bank, Ouseburn. They specialise in the production and finishing of highest quality photographic printing. On the premises is a small gallery, which is where the stunning landscape photography of Joe Cornish was being displayed today.
Joe Cornish Biography :
Joe was born in Exeter in 1958. He studied art at Reading University, where he first came under the spell of photography. After graduating in 1980, two years assisting in Washington DC and two years assisting studio and car photographers in London prepared him for a career in mainstream commercial photography.
It never happened. His passion for the outdoors encouraged him first to pursue travel work. A meeting with Charlie Waite in 1986 helped provide both an important and ongoing source of inspiration, friendship and mutual cooperation. From 1986 to 1995 Joe was responsible for either all or the majority of the photography in more than thirty travel books. An assignment with Raleigh International in 1991 was to inspire an abiding love of wild places and wilderness, and ultimately to alter the direction of his work. Around the same time he began a working relationship with the National Trust photolibrary that continues to this day, and this experience has convinced him of the vital role photography plays in inspiring environmental conservation.
Joe knew that his first photographic hero, Ansel Adams, had built his reputation as a landscape photographer by working in Yosemite Valley as a warden for eight years. If London had been a necessary phase in his photographic apprenticeship, it was never going to provide the backdrop for practising the skills needed for landscape. Moving to North Yorkshire in 1993 was a vital first step to fulfilling this goal. Towards the end of 1995, after a frustrating assignment doing travel photography in Greece he made the decision to devote his photography to landscape in general, and wild places in particular. He began this process shooting on the Horseman SW 612 wide-angle camera, but after a year switched completely to 5x4 inch. He has been using various versions of the 5x4 Ebony field camera ever since.
The North York Moors and coast are Joe's personal Yosemite, and other outstanding landscapes of northern England have been a further source of inspiration not too far away. He also has a deep affinity for Scotland's magnificent coast and mountains, and has travelled widely throughout the UK for the National Trust, specialising in particular on the coastline. He believes he must have seen as much of the British coast from the land, as anyone else alive.
Joe has continued to be involved in books, having contributed heavily to many National Trust publications, especially Coast and Countryside, published in 1996. His first book as an author was First Light, a Landscape Photographers Art, 2002, now in its fifth printing. More recently he wrote and photographed Scotland's Coast, a Photographer's Journey, and shot the pictures for Urbino, (a hill town in central Italy) a rare departure into architectural photography.
He writes regularly for Outdoor Photography and Amateur Photographer magazines, and his work has been featured in (American) Outdoor Photographer magazine. In January 2006 Amateur Photographer honoured him with their annual Power of Photography award.
In 1999 Joe started Joegraphic, with designers Joni and Joe Essex, a business devoted to producing a range of cards and calendars. This has since grown and is now developing into Joe Cornish Galleries as a trademark. It includes the production of limited edition prints, two galleries, and embraces a publishing programme that also features the work of other fine photographers.
Joe has given lectures on landscape photography throughout the UK and as far afield as New Zealand. He is an experienced workshop leader, having led tours for Charlie Waite's company, Light and Land for a decade, and also for Inversnaid photography workshops. Photographic companies who work with Joe include Lee Filters, Fujifilm UK, Gitzo and Lowepro.
Todays exhibition was a preview for the main event, 'An Evening With Joe Cornish' which takes place on Tuesday 1st December. Work commitments scuppered any chance of me attending the event and meeting Joe in person, so today's preview was the nearest I was going to get to see the man's work up close for the first time. There wasn't a great deal of exhibits, but what was on display was of the highest quality in every photographic sense. Each image was mounted and framed before being signed by the artist and then promptly priced between £400-£500.00 each! Quite steep you may suggest, but anyone who knows their photographic onions would agree that imagery of such a high standard as this deserves to command such a fee.
Each image had been printed 'In house' using the latest high-end large format printing equipment. As the images were of local interest I could relate to them quite easily, as I'd often walked these locations before, unknowingly re-tracing the steps of Joe Cornish. There were images of Holy Island, Budle Bay, Dunstanburgh Castle and St Mary's Lighthouse. At a quick turn there were postcards of Newcastle Quayside, Angel Of The North and Roseberry Topping. Each one was breathtaking and the bar was most definately set for any photographer wishing to reach the standard Joe Cornish has set.
My friend introduced me to Jill Roe, exhibitions manager at Digitalab. The three of us had a chat about Joe's work and she said how excited she was about the forthcoming event where visitors could meet Joe in person. I told Jill of my own interest in photography and printing techniques before she gave us a tour of the printing studio upstairs. This was a very modern 'State of the art' set-up. I have a large A3+ inkjet myself, but some of these big boys made mine look like an Oxo cube in comparison. Then again, when you're shelling out £175,000 for a printer you obviously mean business. We were shown a large collection of top quality prints in finest detail on a variety of media, including photo papers, canvas wraps and fujiflex.
This was definately well worth a look out. Very much a case of 'Food For Thought.'
In the meantime, why not take a look at the work of Joe Cornish - a genius in his field.
Finally, a link to Digitalab.
Thanks, Ash

Interesting… Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have released the names of their newborn twins on her official website, as well as the inspiration behind the two rather unique names.
They were previously referring to them as "dem babies"(!), but now each baby has their own moniker.
Their little girl has been named Monroe after legendary actress Marilyn, whose white piano Mariah owns. Not too bad, right?
Their little boy's name is Morroccan, after the room in Mariah's New York apartment where Nick proposed. It's called the Morroccan room, so they took the name straight from there!
After the announcement, her rep Cindi Berger said:
"It has been a long, emotional journey for this family, and I couldn't be happier for all of them."
Let us know what you think of Mariah and Nick's choices in the comments!

CD recycling?
I am looking for a place to recycle old scratched CDs here in Duluth. Like half of the people my age, we burned tons of CDs years ago and now I have piles of them but can't bring myself to put them in the garbage, there's got to be a better place for them to be disposed. Any ideas?

Road steamers were vehicles powered by a steam engine and designed to be independent of rails. The main technical challenge to make these vehicles useful was to prevent their weight from causing deep grooves or ruts in their tracks.
In 1867, Robert William Thomson patented solid India-rubber tires for the road steamers manufactured in his Leith workshop. Fitted with this equipment, a vehicle like the one shown above could be driven across a meadow without the wheels sinking too deeply into the ground. On a flat road, it could tow 30 tons at a speed of 2.5 to 6 mph (4 to 10 km/h); it could reach 16 to 18 horsepower.
In England, some of these steamers were used to carry coal from mines to nearby factories. They were also used on an omnibus line in Edinburgh, and various tests were conducted by the postal administration in the province of Punjab in India.
The caption reads in the original French:
Locomotive routière, système Thomson.

Choose Your Adventure || Emily Tidwell
This week we're featuring Emily Tidwell for the #chooseyouradventure project!
Photography is my passion. It's what I look forward to when I wake up. I get to make others happy because of what makes me happy, and that's kind of amazing.
What initially inspired you to start skiing or snowboarding?
I was a tag-a-long little sister, so when my sister started to ski I wanted to ski. One day and I was hooked! It was every Friday night, ski bus from school to the little hill in Southern Minnesota, out 'til 11, begging to go back the next day.
What inspired you to blend your photography skills with skiing or snowboarding?
My best friend and I would always talk about starting our own skiing company when we were in high school. The walls of my bathroom were plastered with photos of skiers and mountains, I just wanted to be there! You could say that thought stuck with me. But it took me almost 10 years to work up the courage to try. Now, I'm never looking back.
How do you want people to react to the photos you take?
I want people to feel inspired, to want to go out and make their own adventures! I am so amazed by everything around me and if I could have someone else capture that emotion, I'd be pretty stoked!
Where were your Choose Your Own Adventure photos taken?
All my photos were taken at Mt Hood, a place I'm lucky enough to call home. Timberline is the resort I always ride and their parks are so much fun. Even if I'm only out taking photos, I'm still glad I'm there.
Why did you choose to shoot at that location above all others?
Mt Hood is my muse, even when I can't see her hidden in the clouds she's always there cheering me on! I live here because I love it. I shoot here because I love it.
What motivates you to get up, and get outside to adventure?
Fresh air, new adventures, that feeling of absolute awe when you see something for the first time. I'm inspired by my past too. I can still remember the first time I saw the Northern Lights, I'll never forget that feeling of excitement, I'm constantly in search of the next awe inspiring moment in my life! And to be honest my dog, Cora, gets me motivated, too! She's always beyond happy to be outside, playing in the snow, running down trails, and I mean... who wouldn't want to be that happy about something?!

'Naturally creative' - the words of the Chief Executive of the Arts Council who spent two days meeting and debating the future of the arts and creative industries in Cumbria as a guest of the University of Cumbria.
During a packed programme of events Darren Henley saw for himself the wealth of cultural organisations at work in the county and heard from some of those who run them. He also witnessed a showcase of work by performing arts student in a packed Stanwix Theatre after hearing from staff at the Institute of the Arts about the aims and ambition of the faculty.
"We're immensely proud to have welcomed Darren to the county and give him an insight into the work that's already going on but we want to do much more and his views and those of the arts council are vital," Prof Julie Mennell, Vice Chancellor of the University of Cumbria, said.
Proof of the value of the visit came immediately with the announcement of the creation of a group formed to encourage the development and promotion of arts and culture in Carlisle.
With the support of the Arts Council the group, comprising the University of Cumbria, Tullie House, Prism Arts and Carlisle City Council, will be known as the Carlisle Cultural Consortium.
"We've worked to form this organisation to help establish a strategic vision for Carlisle," Roddy Hunter, the director of the University of Cumbria's Institute of the Arts, said. "Our aim is to develop more of what we have and this interim steering group, with the support of the Arts Council, will help us begin that process."
On Friday the focus switched to south Cumbria and a visit to the Ambleside campus to tour the historic site and hear from members of the area's economy during a debate about the university's role in the development in the Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
"This is a fantastic campus and there is a real wealth of talent and creativity here and throughout the university," Mr Henley said. "Your challenge now is to make the most of this and tell people nationally and internationally about the kind of work that is already going on here."
The need to encourage more young people to come – and stay – within Cumbria was highlighted during both days; designer and honorary fellow Wayne Hemingway urging closer cooperation and calling for the communities of Cumbria and North Lancashire to have their say about future arts and cultural developments.
"The university has an important role to play in achieving this and through collaborations with our existing and new partners we can make the most of the untapped opportunities Darren's visit has helped highlight," Prof Mennell added. "We look forward to welcoming him back to visit other parts of Cumbria later in the year."

DSCR inducts four into Bellwood Hall of Fame
RICHMOND - Defense Supply Center Richmond inducted four outstanding past employees into its Bellwood Hall of Fame June 9: Richard "Jim" Bailey of Midlothian, Patrick James, formerly of Chesterfield; Brenda Longest of Chesterfield; and Verona McLeod of Midlothian. The Hall of Fame Ceremony recognizes individuals whose accomplishments have had a long-lasting impact on the center.
More than 300 employees, 10 previous Hall of Fame members, two past commanders, and family members were on hand to honor this year's inductees.
DSCR commander, Air Force Brig. Gen. Andrew Busch officiated the ceremony in the Frank B. Lotts Conference Center at the installation.
"All of our inductees are highly deserving of this career recognition and honor," said Busch. "A common thread with all of them is they are motivated by the opportunity to do something for a higher good."
Bailey came to DSCR in 1986 and was chief of the requirements systems management branch in the Supply Operations Directorate. He retired as DSCR's deputy commander.
"It is a great honor to be inducted with the current inductees, all of whom I've worked with," said Bailey. "What I did was accomplished with the hard work of the DSCR work force."
"Providing support to our servicemen and women and their mission is why we did that we did, and it's why we're being recognized today," he said.
Bailey's career accomplishments include:
· Serving as a critical sponsor for the agency's transition to Business Systems Modernization.
· Increasing business relationships with small vendors and commercial aerospace industries.
· James retired in September 2006 as director of the Richmond Land and Maritime Detachment after 37 years of federal service, 13 of them at DSCR.
"Thank you for having me back and greetings from Mississippi," said James. "I'm honored and humbled to be here and selected with my other inductees."
James mentioned that the state of Mississippi is very proud of its military members. "I take every opportunity I can to tell them about the great work (DSCR) does every day for their sons and daughters," said James.
To those asking what he is doing in retirement, James said, "I caught a really big bass, brought a new John Deer tractor, and am enjoying my grandchildren."
James' career accomplishments include:
· Serving as chief of DSCR's Operations Division
· Serving as property program manager for Department of Defense and federal agencies with regard to Industrial Plant Equipment.
· Serving as director of the Richmond-based Land and Maritime Detachment.
· Longest retired in September 2007 as the pillar lead for 2005 Base Realignment and Closure supply, storage and distribution management reconfiguration. She had 45 years of federal service with DSCR.
"I want to share Bettye Ackerman-Cobb's Rules for Achieving Success with you," said Longest. "We can all strive to achieve them; I'm still a work in progress." Ackerman-Cobb was a DSCR employee from 1956-1993 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005.
Longest's career accomplishments include:
· Playing a key leadership role for many logistics programs transitioning DSCR through the age of automation.
· Serving as chief marketing officer in the 1990s, increasing DSCR's sales of energy efficient lighting products and saving millions of dollars in energy costs.
· Serving as director of customer operations and establishing legacy customer teams.
McLeod retired in 2006 as director of financial operations after more than 30 years of service.
"What a great class of folks to be inducted with," said McLeod. "When we complete our life's journey, we want to feel we made a difference. Although I am the recipient of this honor, it is only possible because the support I received from so many others. Nothing would have gotten done without the dedicated service of the employees in the comptroller's office."
McLeod's career accomplishments include:
· Serving as the project officer for the implementation of the Appropriated Accounting System, the integrated accounting system for all operational funds.
· Providing leadership developing the Premium Pricing System for the Emergency Supply Operations Center.
·Implementing the financial control and reporting processes in support of supply chain organizations.
Kathy Cutler, DSCR deputy commander, provided closing remarks at the ceremony.
"The ceremony meant a lot to me because it gave me the opportunity to see some familiar faces; people who had an impact on DSCR, its work force, its operations, and on me," said Cutler. "These individuals have raised the bar for future Bellwood inductees."
Cutler said the inductees were experts at their jobs, passionate about their employees and deeply committed to serving (the nation's) military men and women.
The Non-Commissioned Officer Academy Color Guard from Fort Lee posted the colors and the Brass Quintet from the 392nd Army Band at Fort Lee provided the music.

A Striking Game of Baseball
The favourite American pastime has now come to India. Though not yet completely famous, baseball does have a small fanbase in the country. It is important to have the right baseball accessories for training and practice.
Questions which help you decide
Decide on the material of the bat before buying one. The material, be it maple or white ash, helps you with the grip. The maple wood is the ideal weight for those who are eager to start playing the sport. The baseball is made of cowhide or horsehide for easy gripping.
A wide range to choose from
Decathlon brings to you the best of branded baseball accessories that include an aluminium bat for adults, soft baseball bats, and balls for kids to help them practice.
Top features
Bat Material: Aluminium handles are more suitable for adults as they give them better strength and grip. For kids, it is better for them to use EVA foam and polyethylene bat as it helps them hit more accurately.
Ball material: For beginners and kids, it is better to buy the PU foam balls to prevent injuries during the learning stages. The original baseball ball, however, is made of a cork centre and the covering is made of animal hide sewed with a string of yarn.
Baseball Accessories: One will need to invest in the right gear that includes helmets, gloves, and protective guards to make sure that the learning experience is safe.
Shoes: Footwear is of equal importance, so make sure you choose the right one. You could choose shoes that have spikes or just plain shoes as per your comfort. Be sure that you are completely comfortable in them before buying.
Buy baseballs online to open up to a new world of sports in your backyard!

It may be a while before the full extent of injuries sustained in an auto accident on a California road can be known. So when an insurance company for the party that caused your accident tries to get you to sign a release of all claims form, you should not rush to sign it. It is in your best interests to wait and assess the entire scope of how an accident has affected your life before you waive your right to make further claims for your damages.
As FindLaw explains, since you might not know all the damages that have arisen from your accident, signing a release form shortly after a wreck can cause you to lose out if you find you need additional medical care. It is a better idea to wait until your treatment is concluded and that your health has recovered or at least your medical prognosis is firmly established. Some injuries have long lasting effects, and you should know the extent of them before you sign a release form.
The same is true for damages inflicted to your vehicle. Even after an initial assessment is done on your automobile, you may not know how much damage your vehicle has truly suffered, as there may be internal damage that does not reveal itself until later. Some people do not find out about additional damage to their vehicle until they have taken it back out onto the road.
Aside from the potential for additional damages that you do not know about, signing away your right to make claims takes away your negotiating power. You might have issues with the settlement offer the insurer has given you. There is no reason to accept an initial offer quickly. Consider consulting with an experienced attorney to see if you are missing out on anything by signing a release form, and how you may negotiate for a better deal.
Auto accidents can inflict injury in many different ways. For this reason, do not read this article as actionable legal advice, only as general information on the topic of car accidents.

AG urges 'persistent pursuit of truth'
N.C. Attorney General Josh Stein spoke to journalists and government employees Monday at Elon University, describing the current climate amongst politicians and reporters as "uncharted territory in modern history in the United States."
Stein, the keynote speaker at Sunshine Day, an event held by the N.C. Open Government Coalition, affirmed the work of journalists in preserving democracy.
"We have a president who not only says the media is the enemy of the people, he asserts that stories not to his liking are fake news," Stein said. "He keeps CNN, The New York Times and Politico at arms' length at briefings, and at the same time he embraces marginal organizations that fit his political ideology."
A Democrat, Stein described how some public information archivists were racing to download federal databases for fear the data "could be taken down any day" under President Donald Trump's leadership, among other examples of how his administration is allegedly holding truth and objective facts in a relatively low regard.
"The White House, with a straight face this weekend, argued that unemployment rates that were favorable under the Obama administration were not to be believed," Stein said. "They were rigged. But now that the unemployment rates are favorable under his administration, the White House says these low unemployment rates are legitimate and to be believed."
Stein argued that "one important way to hold our government accountable is with the persistent pursuit of truth.
"That is why our state has a public records law and our federal government has a Freedom of Information Act," he said.
Stein's office is revising and updating its Guide to Open Government and Public Records to reflect new forms of technology and communication being used among government employees. Many of those channels weren't addressed in 2008, with the document was created for reporters and government officials by then-Attorney General Roy Cooper's office.
Cooper is now North Carolina's governor.

Katy Perry Teases "Roar" With Hilariously Morbid New Video: Watch
Love her or hate her, it's becoming difficult to argue with the objective greatness of Katy Perry's visual campaign for her new single, "Roar," and upcoming LP Prism. First up was the ingeniously dark first teaser, which saw the chanteuse setting fire to her Teenage Dream era neon wig, and now she's dropped another little clip, titled "The Third Coming." (Dark.)
Set at a funeral, two girls in lilac wigs cry as a casket covered in candy-pink flowers and spinning popsicles is lowered into the ground — but there's Katy at the front of the crowd, wearing dark sunglasses and a choker. She lowers her sunglasses and shoots the camera a smug look.
The idea of physically destroying, by setting fire to or burying, all the relics of her last album era is absurdly great, and it's been beautifully executed thus far. If the song in question is even half as good as these teasers have been, it'll be an absolute smash.
"Roar" is out August 12. Watch up top.

Senator Rand Paul took his fellow Republican Senators to the wood shed on Friday after they refused to vote to Defund Planned Parenthood. An organization that aborts more than 300,000 babies per year, all at the expense of the American tax payer. Not only does Planned Parenthood do all of that, they also support Democratic Election campaigns with tax payer funds as well.

People today keep several Himalayan Salt Lamps in their house as they purify the air indoors, provide a soothing red glow and so much else. Basically these are huge pieces of pure Himalayan Salt that is absolutely pure. These have a small bulb inside them and hence termed as Himalayan salt lamps. And the best part is that these are food grade salt crystals that you may even powder and add to your food if needed! Check out a few benefits of Himalayan salt lamps as detailed below.
- The natural negative ions are generated by these salt lamps. These negative ions tend to promote a feeling of getting renewed or refreshed.
- The positive ions generated by electronic devices such as TV, computers, microwaves, and vacuum cleaners tend to promote problems including stress, allergies, along with various kinds of sleep disorders. Negative ions from the Himalayan salt lamps can neutralize these positive ions by bonding together. This way they are able to help in cleansing the air. This is why you must place these lamps in the same room or as near the electronic equipment such as TV and computer, as you can.
- The negative ions in the air that are generated by these Himalayan salt lamps are able to increase the oxygen flow to the brain. This means a higher degree of alertness. In addition, there would be a decrease in drowsiness leading to an overall enhancement of mental energy.
- The Himalayan salt lamps generate negative ions that help in protecting against the germs present in air. This would lead to a reduction in the cases of cold, cough and throat irritation.
- Even though negative ions can be made by machines too, but these Himalayan salt lamps are a much cheaper as well as an effective option.
- It is best to use these salt lamps inside our homes during winters. This is because the houses are generally kept closed and very little fresh air comes in. Also, it is very difficult to spend much time outside. They help to clean the air and bring a feeling of rejuvenation in the house.
- The Himalayan salt lamps provide an ambient glow in the house. Thus in addition to helping in cleansing the indoor air they are also providing an attractive as well as soothing light in the house.
- These are basically multi-colored crystals of salt that tend to provide a soothing effect on the mind and body. This way they are able to enhance your mood.
- The wavelength of the light waves produced by these salt lamps aid in the health and preservation of the human body. This light with new energy is able to produce positive as well as soothing effects. Thus it makes sense to place them in areas where you spend most of your time and enjoy the maximum benefits.
- These Himalayan salt lamps look beautiful whether in home or office. They are attractive and able to fit any kind of décor. This means that you do not have to think where and how to place them in your present surroundings. They do not spoil any thematic setting and are able to gel in almost anywhere.
- Once you get bored of these Himalayan salt lamps, you can even crush them and add them to your food. These are pure crystals and have various therapeutic properties when taken orally.
It is quite clear that the Himalayan salt lamps are not just decoration pieces. They have a lot of benefits for the human body as well as for the mind. All these benefits simply cannot be ignored.
