No good deed goes unpunished
On Friday, I got a call from one of my colleagues, T. She had to be out of town to take care of a sick relative and asked if i could cover her class on Monday (the same one I teach, just a different section, slightly different format). Well, if you were tuned in on Friday, you know that it was *not* a good day for me. I didn't say yes right away, told her I needed to check to make sure I could do it. She was really in a tight spot, as several other people who could otherwise have done it were in class at the time she needed, or were taking comps. T had been very sweet to me when I came back, very understanding -- she's someone I've always respected and whose company I really enjoy. She said she knew that it's been a difficult semester for me, so if I couldn't do it, it was definitely okay.
I called her back a few hours later, after bawling for a little while about how weak and scared I felt, and told her I would do it. Since the students were doing some presentations, it would be pretty low key. I would figure something out.
So today, I came to school, taught my session and then had about a 2 hour break until T's class began. I had some lunch, visited with some people, surfed a little.
About 3pm, I hear a familiar voice. And a baby crying. It's one of the women in my department who had a baby in February, visiting, showing off her 6-week old little girl. This is the same woman who came in to the office at about 39 weeks pregnant and told me my miracle would come, and that "there's a reason for everything." This from a 40-year old woman with her oops, 2nd child do I really want this pregnancy, sticking her huge belly in my face.
I was sitting in the grad student computer area, essentially hiding in the corner, staying quiet, hoping she would not come over to say hello. Please please... I was actually peering over the cubicle wall to see if her office door was open, if it was safe to walk by and pick up my copies off the printer. Her door opened, I heard her come down towards the computers, ostensibly to talk to one of my other colleagues, one who had taken the first part of comps today.
"Hey, S, how are you doing?" I smiled and muttered something like I always do (hanging in there, doing okay). "Getting back into the swing of things...?" Yeah. Whatever, just take your beautiful child and GO. So my colleague oohs and aahs over the baby and as she's getting ready to leave...
Yes, you know she's going to say it... You know she is. Say it with me... come on...
"If you ever need a fix, you know..." Oh, yeah... hah... huh...
"Yeah, you can come over when she's crying and screaming and cranky. You won't miss it so much then..."
Hah, yeah. And I literally turned my entire body back to the computer. I honestly don't know how I didn't scream and/or cry. My heart was pounding. And all I could think was, you don't actually think that a screaming, cranky baby would make me feel better about my sons being dead???
Oh my god. Luckily, there were nice, good, decent people showing up for class at 4, so I got to visit with them. Two women I had been in class with last semester, who knew what happened. One has a sister, I think, who had a stillbirth at full term a couple of years ago, hasn't been able to get pregnant since. She said that she knew she couldn't totally understand my pain, but she had an idea, from the family perspective. Very sweet. I vented to her and we checked in a little, then talked about her for a bit, talked about some program stuff... Then I had to go teach.
If I hadn't helped out, I would have missed out on the drive-by. I'm still kind of heart-poundy from it. Thank god I have no more classes with this prof.
Okay, now this feels very whiny, and poor me. Maybe it's because I don't get a lot of insensitive comments that I feel so shaken. So reminded of how much people can just suck, how much they can just be so freaking clueless. I'm sure that she just didn't know what to say, that she felt weird that I had been so pregnant last semester after 2 years of trying and now I'm not and I just went through hell and she has this adorable baby that she wasn't even sure she wanted at first.
I'm sure she didn't even know how uncomfortable she felt. Maybe she was just strung out from having a newborn and a three-year old. That's it.
I just don't even care.

You have GOT to be fucking kidding me! She has NO excuse for saying something like that! Holy crap, I want to punch someone in the throat for that!
I am SO sorry hun :(

how f'ing awful.
I've gotten better at my snide comebacks for those asinine comments, but I still walk away feeling horrible, spiteful, resentful, etc. -- i.e., no better...
so sorry you had to deal with that. ~luna

Thanks, G and Luna.
I think I'm so shocked when someone says something like that that I'm just stunned into silence. I would have LOVED to come back with something smart, something to make her realize how stupid that kind of comment is.
How about:
"No, don't bother. After I labored and delivered my dead sons, I decided children were too much of a bother after all."
Any other thoughts so I'm prepared next time?

I am totally shocked that she could even dream of saying something so crass. If your mother had died would she be saying anything like that - no she wouldn't dream of it. Any chance one of the nice women could tell her how hurtful and insensitive it was?
This is the first time I have commented but I have been reading for a little while - here and on your husband's blog --so I just want to add how very sorry I am for your dreadful loss. In a very small way I can understand what you are going through (although my losses were very much earlier).

My mouth is literally hanging open. I can't believe that anyone would say or do that. What a total insensitive asshole. No- she's more like the c- word and I don't like using that word.
You have to say something if she does that again. I think your line is a good one. Maybe another one is "too bad your children are going to grow up and be insensitive assholes like your self???"
Yikes, what a crappy day for you. I'm sorry.

That's just effing the worst thing, even I have heard lately!
Right, as if someone else's baby is going to take away your pain. Shit people can't you get a clue?!
Maybe that's the new shirt we need "Get a clue, I lost my children" Maybe that would work!
Thank you for the comment on my end, I go to support groups, counseling. Shan, say's it's too sad, he can't handle it. I guess, I will just get a piece by piece part of his grief. We'll get through, it's just a big rough patch right now!
Hate talking about me on your blog so, I'll quit! I'm thinking of you and hope that next time you hear a comment like that you can muster up part of me and tell them to EFF OFF!

that is unreal. i want to say something smart but i am blown away..........i am just horrified.

What a total fucking idiot, STE. I am SHOCKED by her insensitivity. WTF??? I probably would have reacted as you did, just turned the other way and not said anything.
I'm still shaking my head. I just can't believe this woman. I'm so sorry.
- April 1, 2008 at 11:23 AM
- c. said...
You should have said, "And I thought holding two lifeless, dead babies was the worst fate one could experience. I never thought a live one would evoke such misery and regret, you insensitive, stupid bitch."
How do you think that might go over?
- April 1, 2008 at 11:25 AM
- Carrie said...
Strung out or not, there really is no excuse. What a stupid woman.
I only hope that she thinks about her comment later and realises what she's done. Probably not.
- April 1, 2008 at 1:27 PM
- Cliff Evans said...
Y'know, I already kind of thought she sucked after the way she treated you and J in that class you had. Now I'm sure she sucks.
- April 1, 2008 at 3:05 PM
WTF?????????? So fucking unreal!!!!! People KILL ME!!!!!! I totally agree with "C"'s last comment...it is so good I would have it printed up on cards to hand to people after you say it to them, so then when you walk off they are thinking "Did she just say what I thought she said??" and then they will have the card to remind them!!!!! UN-FUCKING REAL!!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!!! CONTINUE TO HANG IN!!!!!!! We are here for you when everyone else in the real world sucks!!!!!!
- April 1, 2008 at 9:44 PM
- Ann said...
Why, oh why, do moms with newborns somehow think that the sight of their babies will comfort us?
No, you're not whiny at all. Insensitivity can really sting--especially when you're not expecting it.
- April 2, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Yuck, I am sorry you have to put up with that. It's bad enough seeing babies, let alone hearing such comments! ((hugs)) for the crappy experience. I willprobably write her an email and tell her how I felt abt the whole experience and would prefer that she stop being so in-the-face and sometimes silence is better than miserable attempts to just say *something*.
- April 2, 2008 at 5:59 PM
- Antigone said...
What a stupid b*tch. F*ck her.
I'm sorry you had to talk to someone like her.

Speaker: Prof. Sidney C. H. Cheung (Department of Anthropology)
|7 March 2014 (Fri)
|G24, Arts and Humanities Hub, Fung King Hey Building, CUHK
|The talk examined the ethnography of crayfish (P. clarkii) farming from the socio-cultural perspective in the context of the fast changing food production and consumption scene in China today. This Louisiana crayfish was brought to Jiangsu province by the Japanese in the 1930s and was not welcomed by local people, as it did not bring benefits to the community but caused damage to crops. However, the situation changed while it was cooked in a dish called "Xuyi Thirteen Spices Little lobster", which has brought business opportunities to a third/fourth-tier city since the 1990s; together with the establishment of the (International) Lobster Festival in 2000 and Lobster Museum in 2005, the project portrays our understanding of urban development in China's third tier cities in various aspects. The speaker has been visiting this city for several years and would like to share with colleagues findings from the study of crayfish from a cultural point of view.

(Reprinted from the August 2019 edition of Vital Signs, AQuity Solutions monthly scribing division newsletter.)
1. Confidence
Do you apologize when you ask someone to clarify a point? Or when you need a piece of information repeated because you missed it? Are you hesitant to state an opinion? Confident people understand that other people may have the same questions they do and that everyone's opinions matter. They also understand that the provider is also interested in chart accuracy and is often willing to help.
2. Collaboration
In the workplace, you should understand whose jobs are affected by your decisions and whose decisions affect your job. This helps you know what to expect of people and helps others build trust in you to do the things you agree to do. Interacting well with providers and coworkers will always help advance your career.
3. Communication
You need to be capable of expressing your expectations and responding to others' expectations with confidence (See #1). Courtesy and professionalism are always important in your communication.
4. Systems thinking/critical thinking
You should base your decisions and actions on your knowledge of how the system you're working in is set up. Knowing where your decisions fall in the overall system helps you weigh your options and determine the best course of action. According to AQuity scribe Blake Cline, "Critical thinking is crucial for success in any career, and especially medical scribing. It is typically used for problem solving or forming a judgment with given facts, and both of these scenarios occur often in most careers."
5. Creative innovation
Try to think of multiple potential solutions for whatever situation you're addressing rather than focusing on just one. Forcing yourself to explore what would happen if your "favorite" option weren't available helps foster new ideas that may be worth pursuing. Creativity as a scribe can be demonstrated by innovative ways of working through technical or other difficulties.
6. Specialty content knowledge
Some might say this is the first and most obvious requirement for your job, but until you have honed your other skills, no one really cares how much you know. On the other hand, the other skills can be moot points if you don't know your stuff!

When it comes to taking on other franchises, Capcom has it down - they've even got a franchise dedicated to it. But when they announced that they've be taking on Tekken, it turned a few heads. Tekken is a very successful fighting franchise in its own right, but it's of a very different ilk. But seeing how Capcom has managed to integrate the Tekken warriors so seamlessly into the realm of Capcom is rather impressive and it puts pressure on Namco to do the same in the return fixture.
Ignoring the very loose storyline, Street Fighter x Tekken is very much about how these two behemoths meld together. Although since this is Capcom's baby, it's expected that those who're used to the world of Street Fighter will fit right in - they will have no problem picking up their favoured combatants and feeling at home.
Characters like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and M.Bison all have their moves, which date back to the old days of Street Fighter II, but there are few little extras thrown in for good measure.
Tagging is still a core component to the gameplay, as it has been since Street Fighter IV and the more recent Marvel vs Capcom 3. By tapping the two medium buttons, you'll perform a quick-swap, but there's also the capacity to perform Launches and other more fancy moves too.
Veterans of those aforementioned titles will notice that everything does seem a bit simpler though, perhaps to accommodate for the Tekken audience. Performing an Ultra, for example, no longer needs the same button input. In the case of Ryu, it just requires one quarter circle, followed by each of the punches. Capcom has also introduced the concept of Gems, which act as buffs or in some cases, fail safes.
There are two different types of Gem: Boost and Assist. The first, allows your character to be boosted up, if a set criteria has been met. An example of this could be, having ten attacks blocked. In this instance, you might have your damage output increased by 20 percent. There are others though, such as Gems which give health back, or allow you to take less damage. These are fine, and add to the level of strategic play that's to be expected.
Assist Gems, on the other hand, are a very different proposition. They are designed to help players who're new to the game, but using them comes at a cost. For example, the Assist Gem "Easy Input", which allows special moves to be performed using simplified button commands, reduces your damage output by 10 percent. There are others for "Auto Block" and "Auto Throw Escape" too, which will reduce your Cross Gauge. It's nice that these were included for novices, but it's easy to see that some more experienced players will weigh up the pros and cons.Many of the different special elements feel rather simple to perform, and they're outlined in Dan Hibiki's tutorial mode. Here, he'll guide you through counters, and using the Cross Gauge effectively and using combinations.
The easiest, and most effective, for a newcomber is perhaps the Cross Rush. It allows you to string like-minded attacks together, ending in a nice crescendo before your team performs a tag. Attacks must be performed in order of strength, going upwards, for this to work. But there are also things like Cross Assault, which brings in both characters at the same time - you control both. There's plenty of depth here for those who're willing to put in the time, that's for sure.
The newest, and perhaps the most daring addition, is Pandora mode. If your on-screen fighter is below 25 percent health, you can sacrifice his life to give a massive boost to your other character. It only lasts for 10 seconds and if you don't win within this time, you lose. But their damage output is considerably increased and if it's tight towards the end, it could be the difference between winning and losing. It's easy to see this single gameplay mechanic making duels even more tense.
Everything is rendered with Capcom's new-style fighting graphics, which are akin to those witnessed in Street Fighter IV. All of Street Fighter characters look as they have done in the past few games, but it's great to see how the Tekken characters have transitioned with such ease into their new environment. Putting the nitty gritty of the gameplay mechanics aside, the Tekken characters feel right at home, even if the majority of them don't have the fancy fireballs and mental moves that Street Fighter fans have become so accustomed to.
The online is also back in full force, this time allowing for co-operative fighting. Instead of everything being a one-on-one affair, you can now bring your friend along for the ride. It allows you to control one fighter each. It makes the whole thing a bit more social and it's a welcome addition. There's also a rather fun new mode called Scramble, which allows four people to fight at the same time.
Final Thoughts
Street Fighter x Tekken is a very strong fighting game and Capcom deserve a ton of credit for being able to integrate such a different fighting world into their universe with such ease. Despite their differing styles, the Tekken characters don't feel out of place and you never know, it could be a first step towards bringing those two very different fighting cultures together. The multiplayer innovations are also very welcome, but some of the decisions made to help entry-level players may be frowned upon by Street Fighter veterans.
|Tekken characters integrate so smoothly.
|Scramble mode is awesome.
|Dan Hibiki is as jovial as ever.
|Assist Gems will probably be manipulated.
|Perhaps too much has been done to help entry level people.
|Ogre is a brat.

We earlier reported that the Nokia Lumia 735 had been removed from EE UKs online store and all references to it expunged earlier this year.
However, as of this moment the device has made a return (albeit in green only) and features a reduced price of £109.99 with a mandatory £10 top-up. It is worth noting that you should be able to pick up the device for cheaper if you're eligible for a PAYG upgrade via EE or through Carphone Warehouse for any other network. Though the Nokia Lumia 735 has been-in a way – superseded by the Lumia 640 , the much lower price combined with the nicer design of the 735 and its 5mp FFC should still be able to sway some hearts at this point in the year.
As a refresher the Lumia 735 combines a 4.7 HD OLED screen with a clearback display, a snapdragon 400 paired with 1 GB of RAM and a camera combo of 6.7MP for the rear and 5 MP for the front facer.
Would you still like to pick one up? Get it here.

It is that time of year again! In fact, it is the BEST time of year; Christmas time! I have always loved this time of year, but I love it even more now that I have children of my own. I did not have that many traditions growing up, so I am constantly trying to think of fun things I can add to our Christmas that will become our new traditions.
This is our first year participating in the Elf on the Shelf craze. In all honesty I had never heard of it until a couple years ago. I used to be in the "That's creepy" school of thought and "My child is so young he would use the Elf as a chew toy" school of thought. I have since succumbed to peer pressure, that and Grandma bought it for my children, and have a new school of thought, "Why not make this super fun for 24 days of December?"
To make our elf "fun" I decided to first, change Him to a Her. I then bedazzled Her. I sewed her a skirt, added a lace flower, a bow on both the skirt and her hat, and blinged Her out with pearls. If you want to bedazzle your Elf, all you need is some felt for clothing, scissors, gems or pearls for bling, a hot glue gun to secure all your bling, and a sewing machine or needle and thread to sew the clothing. We named our Elf, Claire. She seems like a Claire doesn't she? I just hope she doesn't get into too much mischief while we are sleeping!
Directions to make Elf Skirt:
1. Cut one large circle out of white felt (aprox. 8in diameter)
2. Cut one medium circle out of red felt (aprox. 6 in diameter)
3. Sew the two circles together.
4. Cut out a slit in the middle (aprox. 1.5 in) and sew around slit opening.
5. Put your elf in her new skirt.
6. Add a ribbon around the top, secure with hot glue in back, and tie a pretty bow.
7. Add any bling you want on to Elf's new skirt.

Multi-Purpose Community Centre Project
April 24, 2019
Looking Towards a Multi-Purpose Community Centre
The City is exploring Federal and Provincial funding programs to construct a Multi-Purpose Community Centre. The proposed facility would be incorporated into the existing Fernie Aquatic Centre and would include:
- Arena
- Curling
- Gymnasium
- Multi-Purpose Space
Concept Design
Site Concept
Why a New Facility?
Since 2014, the City of Fernie has been integrating asset management practices into the City's budget process. The basic premise of asset management is that the City builds and maintains assets that provide sustainable services the community identify as being valuable and worthy of financial support. The initial phase of the asset management program identified a significant portion of City-owned facilities are approaching or at the end of their life expectancy and therefore, a strategic investment/replacement program is required.
- The current Asset Management Program has estimated that 58% of City facilities are in a deficit condition and require replacement. By replacing the proposed facilities with a new Multi-Purpose Community Centre, we see our facility deficit reduced to an estimated 15%.
- Combining the stand-alone facilities into one Multi-Purpose Community Centre (MPCC) will create a centralized hub that serves the communities social, cultural, recreational, health and wellness needs.
- The new facility will have more flexibility to accommodate increased use, reduce accessibility barriers and be managed in a more cost-effective manner.
Financial Implications
New provincial and federal funding was announced in the Fall of 2018 specific to community, recreation and culture infrastructure which could pay for approximately 75% to 90% of all design and construction costs of a new MPCC. The City applied for grants through 2 available funding streams to reduce the financial burdens of infrastructure replacement on the taxpayer.
The cost to replace city infrastructure rises every year, and this project is estimated to cost $72,524.200. Based on the funding model of the current grants submission, the highest contribution for the City of Fernie towards the proposed project is $19,324,204. If the grant submission is approved, the City will look for partnerships, sponsorships and donations to assist with the cost of the MPCC.
Community Approval
Provincial legislation requires Elector Approval to borrow funds for this type of capital project. If successful in the grant application process, Council must obtain approval from the community prior to borrowing funds.
There are three steps council must take:
- Inform residents about the proposed project, funding opportunity and our investment plan for City assets.
- Receive community feedback on proposed plans.
- If grant approved, begin formal process for Voters to respond on borrowing funds.
Alternative Approval Process
Eligible electors (voters) submit a formal Elector Response Form over a minimum 30 day period indicating they are against the proposed Loan Authorization Bylaw without holding a vote. If more than 10% of eligible voters submit a response, the City is required to undertake an Assent Vote (Referendum) within 80 days to continue considering this investment.
Assent Voting (Referendum)
A voting process similar to a municipal election where eligible voters fill out a ballot indicating YES they approve the Loan Authorization Bylaw or NO they do not approve the Loan Authorization Bylaw. The outcome is decided by majority vote.

New Study Finds GMO Corn Makes Rats Infertile
Unlike GM corn, non-GMO corn doesn't cause sterility
Still think GMOs and their non-GMO counterparts are equivalent? Think again. Unlike GM corn, non-GMO corn doesn't cause sterility. A new study released by Egyptian scientists found that rats fed a GMO diet suffer from infertility, among other health issues.
Researchers from the Food Technology Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Anatomy and Embryology, and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt, have found that several unsavory changes occur when rats were fed GM corn.
The rats' organs/body weight and serum biochemistry were altered, indicating potential adverse health and toxic effects.
"GM corn or soybeans leads to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice, particularly in livers and kidneys. In addition they found other organs may be affected too, such as heart and spleen, or blood cells. The kidneys of males fared the worst, with 43.5% of all the changes, the liver of females followed with 30.8%"
Additionally, by day 91, many of the rats fed a GM diet were completely sterile.
As reported by Sustainable Pulse:
"In the third study, histopathological examination was carried out on the rats fed the GM maize, and the results were compared with rats fed non-GM maize. The study found clear signs of organ pathology in the GM-fed group, especially in the liver, kidney, and small intestine. An examination of the testes revealed necrosis (death) and desquamation (shedding) of the spermatogonial cells that are the foundation of sperm cells and thus male fertility – and all this after only 91 days of feeding."
Read: GMO Soy Linked to Sterility, Birth Defects, Infant Mortality
How long do you think this effect will take to show up in human beings who eat GM food?
The study abstract reads:
"This study was designed to evaluate the safety of genetically modified (GM) corn (Ajeeb YG). Corn grains from Ajeeb YG or its control (Ajeeb) were incorporated into rodent diets at 30% concentrations administered to rats (n= 10/group) for 45 and 91 days…General conditions were observed daily…and serum biochemistry were measured. The data showed several statistically significant differences in organs/body weight and serum biochemistry between the rats fed on GM and/or Non-GM corn and the rats fed on AIN93G diets. In general, GM corn sample caused several changes by increase or decrease organs/body weight or serum biochemistry values. This indicates potential adverse health/toxic effects of GM corn and further investigations still needed."
This study simply corroborates previous findings, proving the same deleterious effects. Russian biologist Alexey V. Surov and his colleagues found that Monsanto's genetically modified (GM) soy, grown on 91% of US soybean fields, leads to problems in growth or reproduction – in many cases, causing infertility. Animals who ate GM soy were sterile by the third generation.
Years ago, Natural Society unveiled proof that hamsters fed Monsanto's GM soy for two years had growth and development abnormalities, and also – became sterile.
If you don't see a pattern here, you might need to look again.

What frustrates me about this post is the lack of data. Those that are pro-GMO site that there are no legitimate studies to refute GMO. When a study is quoted as saying, "by day 91, many of the rats fed a GM diet were completely sterile," you do not have quantifiable information. Many could be 3 or 5 or 500. But the fact that a ratio or percentage is not mentioned makes this article sound like it is hiding accurate information. That is not respected data, that is hype. Those concerned about GMO food MUST do legitimate research and present legitimate data findings to be respected as having a legitimate voice in the conversation. Trust me, those that are pro-GMO have their numbers at the ready.
Did you know MonSatan is the creator of Saccharine, A$$partame, PCVs, DDT,
Agent Orange, Bovine Growth Hormone & Glyphosate, which have ALL been linked to health problems. BAN MonSatan, forget labeling, BAN THEM OUTRIGHT.
Did you know – In 2001 Epicyte Corporation isolated a protein that causes
STERILITY and spliced its gene into CORN so that men and women would become sterile. They sold that technology to MonSatan and to DuPont. To date NO Congressperson, NO Senator and NO Presidential candidate has dared ask MonSatan, DuPont or Epicyte why they are selling Genetically Modified CORN that sterilizes us and our children. Instead, they mandated that ALL corn needed to be from MonSatan. Further, they put FDA approved High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in just about everything to ensure people get the sterility gene. There is truly something EVIL about our politicians. $$$$$… and the sheeple trust that Federal Death Administration (FDA) approved is good. If it's not ORGANIC don't buy it! Reject all products containing HFCS. Geez, is this too difficult? Vote with your wallet and try to be healthy while bankrupting MonSatan.
MonSatan doesn't have my consent to use my body as a science experiment.
Did you come up with this before or after the Martians came to visit you?
From what I see, the diets are mixtures of stuff, not cooked. Since most all human foods made with field corn are cooked, these tests do not correlate with human consumption.. To compare with human consumption, they need to look at cooked foods and grow several generations to see any reproductive effects as claimed by a Russian experiment.
I still wouldn't eat it, if I were you.
Lol, you also have to remember that they can't even recreate the Russian experiment and come out with anything tpclise to the same results.
How much does MonSATAN pay you to troll for their poisons?
Gee, you would think it would be so simple to control the rat population in this world then. No, instead they seem to thrive in the real world on gmo grain.
Good work Bobo, get a cracker! Don't read the study. Here look at the pictures.
Maybe if they did there studies in 30 days your toxins will be declared safe. I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when people figure out your making them and there families sick and sterile for fun and profit!
There's still a few family farms left. You better watch out for the farmers wife, She'll cut off your tail with a carving knife.

Port Macquarie street artist Damon Moroney prepares for ArtWalk 2019
Street artist Damon Moroney rates ArtWalk as a must-do arts and cultural event for community members.
The Port Macquarie-based street artist, who has been involved in ArtWalk for the past three years, won't miss out on the artistic action either on Thursday, July 18.
Mr Moroney will set up on the Town Green and use spray paint to create an artwork on plywood.
Animals and nature will inspire the piece.
"I've always liked nature and trying to preserve nature and open people's eyes to what we have around this area," Mr Moroney said.
The community will explore the Port Macquarie CBD through arts and culture from digital projections to exhibitions, music and more during the ArtWalk evening from 6pm to 9pm on Thursday, July 18.
Artists will be dotted around the CBD.
The cultural offerings continue beyond the ArtWalk night as the 2019 program has expanded to feature satellite events from July 19 to 21.
Mr Moroney said ArtWalk was well supported.
"It's a massive turnout every year and it gets bigger and bigger," he said.
"To be able to showcase talent is great.
"Port Macquarie is a big arts place and not a lot of people realise that."
ArtWalk, presented by Port Macquarie-Hastings Council, helps to raise awareness about the area's creative industries.
Mr Moroney's participation in ArtWalk has lifted his profile and generated work opportunities.
Town centre businesses also back ArtWalk through hosting creative pursuits from exhibitions to demonstrations and live music.
Laing+Simmons Port Macquarie licensee and principal Chris Koch said the town just buzzed during ArtWalk.
"From a council point of view, this is probably one of the best things that takes people to the centre of town and showcases local talent," he said.
Laing+Simmons Port Macquarie's support for ArtWalk in 2019 will include a showcase of work by artists Harold Le Jeune and Kim McLean.

What's more "metal" than water? In this episode of "What Were They Thinking?" Melissa shares how direct-to-consumer canned water startup Liquid Death is shaking things up in the CPG market, thanks to its ability to easily appeal to its target audience. While the company — co-founded by former Netflix creative director Mike Cessario — has been around since 2018, it hit the news again this week after securing $1.6M in seed funding.
According to Cessario, Liquid Death has a perfect target audience of heavy metal and punk rock music fans who immediately understand the humor behind the brand and its campaigns. When speaking to Business Insider, he said: "If you think about it, it makes sense, everything metal and punk is extreme. Being vegan is extreme, protesting the deforestation is extreme. There are more vegans at a heavy metal show than Taylor Swift show. We are by far the most sustainable option for packaged water, which is a big driver for why people want to buy from us."
You can watch the latest ad here, but be forewarned: it's full of gore and violence, in a weird, cartoony way. It may not be your cup of tea … er, water.

Characteristic Lung Findings in Antisynthetase Syndrome
Characteristic NSIP with OP seen on HRCT in a 66 year old female with antisynthetase syndrome.
, 0
I failed to mention that a lung biopsy was also performed.
Dr. Talanow, this patient underwent a rheumatologic workup which included an antibody panel for antisynthetase syndrome. This particular patient was positive for PL-12 which, along with the characteristic clinical findings, confirmed the suspected diagnosis.
What kind of workup was done to confirm that diagnosis?
Hi Tony, thanks for the comment. There are predominantly basilar, reticular and ground-glass opacities, accompanied by a loss of lung volume, traction bronchiectasis, and scattered peribronchovascular areas of consolidation. This is suggestive of an NSIP with features OP. These findings are noted to be quite typical of patients with ILD associated with antisynthetase syndrome. Of course these findings would be supported with clinical dx and rheumatologic workup.
Interesting case. Could you explain what the characteristic findings are?
Based on that image, several DDs are possible.
Thank you.

I made the pizza for the first time last week. It tasted great, but I got it on a bit late and so the dough wasnt quite cooked through after 3 hours (in my large 6.5l SC), so I scooped most of it into a casserole dish and finished it in the oven.
The second time I made it I put it on early enough and it cooked through and was greatly enjoyed by 6 adults. My friend asked for the recipe and cooked in the next week so that is a good sign.
Here is what I did differently:
- I didnt use her spaghetti seasoning recipe - just seasoned with salt and pepper.
- I used plain flour and added 1 tsp baking powder
- I used chopped salami instead of pepperoni

HR professionals slip into jargon and euphemisms, like everyone else. Also, like everyone else, HR professionals think their instant messages are too ephemeral to become evidence in a discrimination suit. Not so. The courts recently had to address whether an exchange of instant messages between HR professionals about a reduction in force provided direct evidence that the employer discharged an employee because of his age. The IM exchange referred to the employee's "shelf life." The HR professionals were actually talking "inartfully" about the employee's remaining work, and they ultimately decided NOT to include the employee in the reduction in force. Months later the employer discharged the employee for performance-related reasons. Still the IMs found their way into the litigation, as evidence for the employee, and the employer had to fight the claim all the way to the court of appeals. Watch your thumbs! Roberts v. IBM, No. 12-5169 (10th Cir. November 5, 2013).

Christie: And Then There Were None
Review by Old Rooster
October 2005
"Ten Little Sailor Boys Went Out to Dine ..."
"One choked his little self, and then there were nine."
Most of us have read or are familiar with the great Agatha Christie
novel, Ten Little Indians, a.k.a. And Then There Were
None. Ten individuals are invited to a weekend "party."
This event is held in a large mansion on a deserted island, with
a storm raging, a scuttled boat, and no communication with the outside
world. Further, the host only appears by way of a most unpleasant
and accusatory gramophone recording. He is appropriately named U.N.
"Nine little sailor boys stayed up very late. One overslept
himself and then there were eight." As this gruesome "nursery"
rhyme, posted over the fireplace mantle, suggests, our guests begin
to die, one by one, presumably at the hand of their host, for crimes
real or imagined. Since Mr. Owen cannot be located in the house
or on the island, suspicion falls on the guests themselves. And
then, as Holmes would say, "The game is afoot." (Or, as
Gil Grisom would say, when discovering a dismembered corpse in the
first CSI"The game is a foot. Sorry, I just had
to slip that in.)
ATTWN, the game, not only builds beautifully upon the Christie
premise, but also takes some twists and turns of its own, including
presenting a different killer than did the book. Using famed writer
and game creator Lee Sheldon, the development team went to considerable
trouble to both honor Christie's work and make an interactive game
that would bring a fresh approach to this delightful murder mystery.
Generally, they have succeeded quite nicely.
"I'm Very Much Hoping You Can Join a Little Weekend House
Party" U.N. Owen
In this third-person, point-and-click adventure, you play as Patrick
Narracott, the boatman who ferries the guests to Shipwreck Island.
But even you are not necessarily who you appear to be. Even you
have depths and hidden motives. Of course, you couldn't be the killer,
could you? And, of course, you'll be sure to survive at the end,
won't you? Perhaps, and perhaps not. Nothing is guaranteed at this
Shipwreck Island party!
Let's discuss some of the technical features of ATTWN. Installation
is smooth and fast, using two CDs and taking about 1.5 MB of hard
drive space. Interestingly, especially for an Adventure Company
product, there is not only no indication of the onerous StarForce
CD protection program, but the game will even run without a CD in
the drive! A single resolution is selected, I believe 1024×768,
with shadow effects, anti-aliasing and other graphic options available.
My very moderate system, with a 64 MB nVidia card, ran the game
smoothly with all options turned on.
Adventure game players will feel very comfortable with the "live"
cursor. The large arrow not only shows footstep directions Patrick
can use, but also clearly depicts a whole range of interactive optionstaking
an object, speaking to a character, opening a door, and even the
unusual peeking through a keyhole and eavesdropping on conversations!
"I Copied the Contents into My Notebook" Patrick
Our Patrick must have some kind of huge and invisible backpack!
You are able to accumulate an amazing number of objects in your
inventory, accessible with a right mouse click or a tab at the top
left corner of the screen. These range from jars, pliers and pouches
to the incredible sheets, tripod and boat oars! The inventory allows
for detailed examination as well as combination of objects to create
a desired outcomebatteries into a flashlight, for example.
This act can get a little picky if you're not careful with location
of materials in the inventory.
"I don't need it; I'm no packrat," exclaims Patrick if
you come across an item that looks interesting but isn't really
needed in the game. Further, Patrick will sometimes comment that
"There's something here I need," and "I'll need to
come back to that later." This all helps your already huge
inventory not become an irrelevant garbage bin. Mr. Sheldon, our
writer, often injects a bit of humorous relief into an otherwise
grim tale. For example, when I tried to have Patrick pick up a whiskey
glass from the bar, he comments: "I shouldn't do that, I need
to have my wits about me." Indeed. Interestingly, he later
needs to come back to that bar and glass.
When Patrick comes across an object in writing (letters, books,
etc.), he can place and examine it in his journal, accessible by
a tab on the upper right corner of the screen. This also allows
for general information about the island and guests to be conveniently
stored. Interestingly, I wondered about what a guest is supposed
to think if an important letter is found missing from the top of
his/her dresser due to Patrick's compulsive snooping about. The
guy picks up most everything he lays his eyes on! Apparently, the
developers show the object as gone for our benefitwe know
we picked that one upbut the guests do not realize anything
is missing since Patrick instantaneously is able to "copy"
the information into his journal and replace the object. A neat
Finally, in terms of technical features, you are able to save anywhere
in the game, and there are an unlimited number of save slots. A
save depicts your exit scene and time. This is a great feature for
experimenting a bit with different responses and approaches.
"Please, This Is a Time for Concentration, Not Conversation"
The opening cinematic, using the graphic engine, demonstrates the
kind of visual richness you'll see throughout the game. Indeed,
like any great story, the first fifteen minutes will draw you in.
Together with a haunting piano theme, the introductory experience
is very compelling.
However, one of the annoyances rears its head early on. Whenever
Patrick has to maneuver in the dark, without his flashlight available
for use, he and critical objects are almost impossible to discern,
even with the brightness setting turned full up. I had to adjust
my monitor to have any chance at all during these "blackouts."
This could be a patch issue, or it could be my system; I'm not sure.
Other than those times, the presented scenes are richly detailed,
carefully tailored to the 1930s setting. Character depictions and
animations are varied and appropriate, although sometimes a bit
wooden. This is particularly true of Patrick, as he walks like a
tin soldier from spot to spot. And he can't go anywhere in a room,
only to specific and defined "footstep" locations. Sometimes,
as well, the pathfinding is awkward. Perhaps, though, the largest
disappointment with the game engine is the inability to rotate perspective
around the static scenes presented. Every three to five scenes,
there is a three-second black screen delay while the engine shifts
to another set of fixed scenes. They're lovely, to be sure, and
this is a "character-centered" kind of game, but it would
be nice to have more mobility of view and movement.
As Hargrave implies, there is a lot of conversation in ATTWN.
From early on, it's clear there are layers upon layers with
each of the guests, and even yourself! The script is tight and involving,
with superb voice acting. You'll learn a lot about each guest, and
you will need to make notes even beyond your journal entries. Conversational
trees offer choices, often ranging from a kindly to not so kindly
question or response on your part, presumably something that might
affect how the party you're questioning may feel about you afterwards.
It's been implied in some prerelease previews that how you're received
by the guests (friendly versus a pain) might affect game direction
and outcomes. I couldn't pick that up, even with experimenting.
Generally, you move along from ten to nine to eight to seven "little
sailor boys" with critical item accumulation, conversational
discoveries and related activities being the only obvious triggers
for the next chapter.
There are, however, as advertised, four possible endings! These
are fun, and they occur at "Chapter NineAnd Then There
Was One." Be sure to save at that point so you can work with
each outcome.
"Any Good House Party Should Include Party Games!"
U.N. Owen
And any good adventure game needs to include puzzles! Thankfully,
the puzzles in ATTWN are as good as any I've experienced
in adventure titles. They're in context, make sense and aren't the
kind of bizarre sorts of mathematical or musical conundrums found
in some titles, which should more appropriately be termed "puzzle,"
not "adventure," games, in my opinion. Having said that,
ATTWN is hard, sometimes very hard. Thankfully, clues are
presented. But still, the occasional need to combine several items
in your inventory can be elusive, as can be hidden door handles
and how to access rooms without clear entrances. Yet the puzzles
are ultimately fair, and you feel satisfied when the resolution
dawns on your tired brain.
"Any Truth to the Accusation Against You?" Patrick
The script and character development are so well-done that I can
see why the Christie estate gave its approval to ATTWN: The
Game. A good part of your deductive experience is spent interviewing,
thinking, sorting though hints and nuances of responses, which may
or may not be fully truthful. Each of the ten has a different background
and story. Each of the ten has something about which they're guilty
or ashamed, or at least ought to be! We have a physician, a retired
general, a judge, a grim spinster, a private detective, and others.
They're all well-acted and nicely fleshed out, and you can see why
someone might have something against every one of them. Plus, to
top it all off, the mansion and island have their own mysteries.
Except for the initial piano theme, the rest of the background
music is forgettable, particularly since it seems to repeat ad infinitum.
The theme is fitting, it's just that hearing it loop over and over
again can become tiresome. You can turn it down or off.
Ambient noises are another matter altogether, and most welcome.
The cold rain coupled with lapping of the waves on the dock makes
you want to run for cover. Thunder and lightening often enliven
the windows of the otherwise static room scenes. Footstep sounds
vary from the ground to a metal catwalk to the wooden hallway floor.
A range of other touches make this factor one of the highlights
of the game.
Thankfully, two maps are included in the nicely done manual. These
are of the upstairs and downstairs of the mansion, and they become
invaluable tools in your initial explorations. You'll spend the
first third to half of the game exclusively on these floors. There
are other locational hints (a potted plant) to give you clues, but
these maps really help.
"Your Whole Story Sounds Like a Detective Novel" Blore
And Then There Were None is, as the developers hoped, a
"loving tribute" to the classic Agatha Christie novel
on which it is based. With a sterling script, fascinating characters,
superb voice acting, beautifully detailed graphics, and sensibly
practical puzzles, it ranks among the best adventure games of the
last couple of years.
What leads ATTWN to fall just short of our coveted Gold
Star rating relates to the game engine. It's dated and not up to
the level of modern 3D and full-movement titles. We've seen this
static scene, restricted point-and-click ambulation approach many
times before. Some may feel comfortable with this style, but we
can do better with today's technology. Further, there seemed to
be some glitches related to item location and brightness.
Still, this is a fine game and highly recommended. With an outstanding
combination of intriguing story and ingenious puzzles, And Then
There Were None is sure to delight Christie fans and adventure
game players.

Forum topic
It's not required where I work...I just have it so if a pt needs to go to IR and they are monitored, I'm a little more comfortable with the situation. I know, for example, when to watch for potential arrythmias, etc. It's just my personal thing.
I have seen ACLS required for job applications for PICC RNs in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas. If you don't have current ACLS, you can't apply for the job (that is what I have heard).
I am not sure why this would be required for ECG PICC insertions. It seems to be overkill. I keep trying to think of a comparison. Having a BSN or MSN to be able to insert a Foley catheter is the closest that I can think of. Can you think of a comparison that is better, if you are a PICC nurse that uses ECG for tip location?
If I am insering a PICC, I am not going to run a code during an insertion. I need to understand what I see on the ECG and recognize a p-wave and respond to that p-wave changes to adjust the PICC tip location. I don't need to know when to get the debrillator or to know what drug to give next. There are other ways to document knowledge about ECG and document competency in recognizing a ECG recognition of a rhythm, isn't there?
What are your thoughts? Does anyone else in the US require ACLS for PICC insertion?
I agree that it is as crazy to to have the PICC nurses ACLS competent as well as the cafeteria workers. What is the result of your situation in Spokane, Jerrbear?
If I am not mistaken I believe Arizona requires it for PICC insertion. I know for a fact it is required for subclavian an jugular placement by an RN
It can be state specific but it is not common and the guidelines currently from INS do not recommend it is needed
kathy Kokotis RN BS MBA
Bard Access Systems
It would seem to me that any nurse working in a critical area in any capacity should have ACLS and be prepared to jump in when needed. If the nurse is mostly inserting in lower acuity areas it might not be so critical but it never hurts. Just fyi, I have had to abort an insertion to code a patient with bleeding esophageal varices. Too bad the picc wasn't in place earlier, he sure did need it.

Mist on Mt. Shuksan
"Mist on Mt. Shuksan", 10 x 8 In, Oil on Museum Board
When the mist rolled in on a very cold late September morning on the ridge of the Artist Point trail between Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan, we thought our painting day was over, because it also started to rain. But it was a "can't dance" moment (when you can't dance and it's too wet to plow, you may as well do something because you can't or don't have the opportunity to do anything else) so we set up our easels anyway. The mist was so thick we could barely see anything but the nearest rocks and lichen. So that is what this painting is about--the amazing color of the steep alpine meadow in fall colors.
4 comments:
I love the way you captured the rich colors AND the mist at the same time.ReplyDelete
I laughed at the "cant dance" quote. Good one!
Thank you Julie! I haven't thought of "can't dance" or heard anyone use that idiom since the 70's or 80's. Do you remember it? I think it was popularized by writers like Ken Kesey, according to Google--but it popped up in my mind like an old friend!ReplyDelete
Kathryn, really lovely little study! FritzReplyDelete

As we waited to find out who the Patriots would draw in the Divisional Round, the three of us at Foxboro Blog decided to have a little "round table" discussion to look back at some of the more memorable moments in 2010. Up next is the topic of our favorite moment from the season.
Rick: There have been a ton of great moments for the Patriots this season. But, I have a personal favorite and that came in Week 13 on Monday Night Football. That game was for the AFC East title with the 9-2 New York Jets against the 9-2 New England Patriots. Everybody thought it was the Jets' time to win the division and that the Patriots' defense could not stop anybody. Well, both the offense and the defense stepped up and won the game 45-3 to make a statement that this Patriots' team is for real. I am a New Yorker so it felt good to see the Jets' fans go a little bit down to earth after their string of last second wins against sub .500 teams. Danny Woodhead, the ex-Jet, had one of his best games of the year while Belichick even with the Patriots up 31-3 telling his team not to take the foot off the gas pedal. It felt like 2007 all over again.
Jason: Without question, my favorite part of the season was the Week 9 win over the Steelers. I grew up in Western PA and still live on the outskirts of Steeler Country, and most of my family is made up of Steeler fans. The Steelers-Pats game was two weeks before Thanksgiving, and I'm pretty sure that if the Pats would've lost, I wouldn't have been able to go home for the holidays. For me, this win meant getting to eat turkey at the Thanksgiving table instead of a healthy helping of crow. In the bigger picture, I think the win over the Steelers really put the rest of the league on notice that this Patriots team is for real. They were coming off a terrible loss to the Browns, and a loss would've left the team on the fringe of the playoff race with Indy coming to town. Instead, the Pats were able to put together a dominating win on the road against a quality opponent, a victory that put them in the driver's seat in the AFC and started a run of eight straight wins to close the regular season. The emphatic spike by Brady after his 4th quarter rushing score was an exclamation point on one of the Patriots' signature wins of the 2010 regular season. I could watch that celebration on an endless loop.
Derek: The thing that I've loved the most about following the Patriots during the Brady/Belichick era is all the nail-biting games that got my blood pumping and the euphoria that came after the Pats pulled off their improbable victory. With that in mind, only one game this season truly fit that description, and it was Week 6 against Baltimore. This was the Patriots' first game with Deion Branch and without Randy Moss. They were facing the team that had steamrolled them last January in the only home playoff loss at Gillette Stadium and of Tom Brady's career. The Patriots, down 10 points in the 4th quarter, and looking fairly out of sync for the majority of the game, finally found their rhythm. They forced overtime, and then, in what seemed an eternity of punting the ball back and forth, clinched the victory with only minutes remaining in the extra period. This was the game where I stopped thinking we were a good but flawed team, and started thinking "Super Bowl". Say what you will about knocking off the Jets, Steelers, Colts, Packers, and Bears. I believe Baltimore is the best team the Patriots have beaten all season, and they did it in the most dramatic way possible. Just a vintage Patriots win!

Authorities Thursday disallowed Hurriyat Conference (G) executive council meeting, which was supposed to be chaired by Syed Ali Geelani at the amalgam's Hyderpora headquarters.
In the morning, police sealed all roads leading to Geelani's residence, which also serves head office of Hurriyat (G).
"Additional police personnel were deployed outside Geelani's residence this morning. None was allowed to enter into the office, which also serves as the residence of Geelani," a Hurriyat (G) officer bearer told Rising Kashmir.
He said they had made all arrangements for the Executive Council meeting but police foiled the crucial meet by curbing and arresting the leaders.
Sources said police also conducted overnight raids and arrested several Hurriyat (G) leaders including its chief spokesperson Ghulam Ahmad Gulzar and other second rung leaders and activists including Mohammad Ashraf Laya, Bilal Sidiqee, Molvi Bashir Irfani and Omer Adil Dar.
Two senior leaders of the amalgam Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai and Ghulam Nabi Sumji under kept under house arrest.
Hurriyat (G) sources said that executive meeting was called by Geelani to discuss several issues pertaining to the prevailing situation and the arrest of leaders by National Investigation Agency and Enforcement Directorate.
The authorities also kept Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman and cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house arrest at his Nageen residence to prevent him from addressing a religious gathering at Datageer Sahab shrine.
"Another gag ! Now on religious preaching. Again put under house arrest to prevent me from addressing decades old traditional majlis-e-waz o tableeg at Dastgeer Sb Khanyar. Greatly pained ! Pray to Almighty Allah to deliver us from this yoke of sufferings and subjugation," Mirwaiz tweeted.

hi! welcome!
I made a thread… about 2 years ago that gives a lot of explanation. That's probably the best place to go (all your information in one spot https://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/9390/what-feathercoin-offers-with-links-and-explanations ) I've tried to keep up to date so it should still be completely valid.
the developers apparently dont use the forum to much these days so its pretty quite here, but if you have any questions or comments be sure and ask.

Al-Anon Family Groups
Website and support group search engine for alcoholism support charity
Al-Anon's old website had grown organically over the years and users struggled to find the content they were looking for.
A detailed planning exercise
Given the task of re-structuring and condensing their content we facilitated a stakeholder planning workshop to explore the needs of each of the key audiences. In the workshop we looked at:
- Key user journeys for each audience.
- Proposed sitemaps.
- Wireframes of key pages.
- Use of social media by audience.
- Examples of best practice in other websites.
With the outputs of the workshop we were able to design an information architecture which addresses the needs of all key audiences and wireframes to take into the design phase. Examples of the workshop outputs follow:
Workshop photo - priority content →
Workshop photo - sitemap →
Workshop photo - wireframe →
Final sitemap →
Final homepage wireframe →
The new website
The new Al-Anon website has a fresh new look and includes signposting to key content from the homepage. Users can search the database by postcode or country and view details of their nearest groups and events.
The new navigation structure, designed by the stakeholders, enables quick access to all key pages along with the ability to drill down into more detailed content for member groups.
Intuitive content management
The new website is backed by a bespoke content management system designed around the database of Al-Anon groups. The charity's volunteer network also use the CMS to support their telephone and email helplines.
I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work to bring the project in on time and on budget. We are all very pleased with our new website – a huge improvement. I'm looking forward to feedback from our members.

1,489 g/t (43 oz/T) Ag, 10.65% Pb, 21.63% Zn over 6.10 m in hole EX10-LP875
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov. 17, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX:EXN) is pleased to announce assay results for two additional holes from what company geologists believe may be a new, high-grade manto discovered between the Rodilla and NE-1 mantos. Tentatively named the Pierna Manto, this massive sulphide zone is related to a northwest-southeast trending structure and is open to the northwest. Hole LP875 intersected 6.10 metres (m) of massive sulphides grading 1,489g/t (43 oz/T) Ag, 10.65% Pb, 21.63% Zn. Hole LP876 intersected 7.60 m grading 612 g/t (18 oz/T) Ag, 8.07% Pb, 14.47% Zn. Three holes in the same zone and with similar high grades were disclosed in a press release dated November 4, 2010.
These results again provide evidence of the discovery potential for important additional distal carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) resources in and close the immediate Platosa Mine area.
"We continue to be very encouraged by the discovery of such significant massive sulphides at Platosa. A new discovery such as this can have an important impact on the manner in which we develop the Platosa Mine and opens up new areas for detailed exploration," said John Sullivan, Excellon's Vice-President of Exploration.
Assay intersection details for holes LP875 and 876 are shown in the table below and on the accompanying drill hole location map. All intervals are estimated true thicknesses. In addition to these two holes there has been one other hole drilled at Platosa since the exploration press release dated November 4, 2010.
Excellon's drill core samples are prepared and assayed by SGS Minerals Services (SGS) in Durango, Mexico. The lab is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. The Company has a comprehensive QAQC program, supervised by an independent Qualified Person.
Qualified Persons
The Company's exploration programs are supervised by John Sullivan, Excellon's Vice-President of exploration, in consultation with Dr. Peter Megaw of IMDEX Inc.
Mr. John Sullivan, BSc., PGeo., has acted as the Qualified Person, as defined in National Instrument 43-101, for this disclosure.
Dr. Megaw has a PhD in geology and more than 30 years of relevant experience focused on exploring silver and gold systems in Mexico. He is a Certified Professional Geologist (CPG 10227) by the American Institute of Professional Geologists and an Arizona Registered Geologist (ARG 21613). Dr. Megaw is not independent of Excellon as he is a shareholder.
Mr. Sullivan is an economic geologist with over 35 years of experience in the mineral industry. Prior to joining Excellon in 2007 he was a senior geologist at a Toronto-based international geological and mining engineering consulting firm where he evaluated properties and prepared NI 43-101 reports on gold and base metal projects in Canada and internationally. In addition he has held senior positions with two large Canadian mining companies where he directed major exploration programs, managed field offices, and evaluated projects in Canada, Europe, Africa and Latin America. Mr. Sullivan is not independent of Excellon as he is an officer and holds common share purchase options.
