Hungary's military-themed summer camps
"I'm a pacifist," says Máté Bartha of his views on the military. "I don't think violence is necessary, but it does interest me." For a year and a half, Bartha has photographed summer camps organised by the Hungarian NGO Home Defence School, an institution committed to teaching discipline, patriotism and camaraderie to teenagers in a society that they believe has become slothful and disconnected. Last week, Bartha's series Kontakt, won the annual Louis Roederer Discovery Award for emerging photographers at Les Rencontres d'Arles. "There is a lot of discussion in Hungary about the military and obligation," explains Bartha. Since 2016, the question of conscription has been at the forefront of public conscience, and is heavily debated by Hungary's right-wing Conservative government, but according to Bartha, the organisers of these military camps attempt to resist politics. "They say they don't want to get involved in politics," says Bartha. "They believe that the younger generation is undisciplined, and that young people don't appreciate basic values. This military approach is what they believe is missing from education." As …

As It Was Give(n) to Me
Stacy Kranitz has spent the last ten years photographing Appalachia, US, an area devastated by the coal industry, which took valuable resources from the land and left its inhabitants impoverished. By the 1960s, the War on Poverty was declared by the US government, and Appalachia was its poster child. "The region has this history of photographers coming in and dramatising the poverty," explains Kranitz, "photography has created this open wound in the area". The publicity afforded to the area and the image it perpetuated became what Kranitz describes as 'poverty porn', and its effects have continued to haunt the Appalachian people. "Documentary photography is a slippery slope," says Kranitz. "You go from doing good to perpetuating stereotypes and dramatising or fetishising the problems." During her time shooting As It Was Give(n) to Me, Kranitz has become aware of her role as a photographer working along this slope. "One of the things I tussled with was subjectivity and objectivity," she explains. "There were times when it felt more honest to reveal myself as a person with …

I recently participated in my very first book club meeting where the book we read…was mine!
Just like everything about being a published author, it felt a little surreal.
I mean, this is what it's all about, right? I could crank out a million books, but if it weren't for readers, they would be useless.
I had a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again sometime.
P.S. Book clubs rule. I'm just saying.
P.P.S.S. I know my hand looks weird.

Have you ever tried limoncello? Its a sweet, but strong lemon flavored liqueur, originating from Italy.
It is used for everything from dessert to after dinner drinks, but if you've ever seen a bottle at the local liquor aisle, it is not cheap. Essentially its just sweetened lemon infused grain alcohol, nothing difficult, so I decided that I wanted to make some for myself.
I researched recipes online, and came up with a combination of a few that I thought sounded best.
15 organic lemons. I used a mixture of regular and Meyer lemons since they were in season. You're relying on the peel of the lemon- so spring for the organic variety- otherwise you'll be infusing your booze with chemicals.
Carefully peel the yellow part of the lemon off, with a vegetable peeler, taking care not to peel the pith (white part) off with it, as it is bitter.
Place peels into a large glass container with tight fitting lid. I used a jug that is used for making small batch beer, but any gallon sized glass jar would do.
Then pour over the peels both bottles of liquor. Shake it up a bit.
Now the long and anxious wait begins. 40 days, at least. Once a week or so give it a good swirl, and keep it in a dark cool place.
At 40 days open her up and take a piece of lemon peel out. It should snap like a potato chip, and be nearly colorless. If not - put it back for another week and try again. You really want all the essential oils to infuse the liquor.
Once its ready, strain the lemon peels from the liquor using a fine mesh strainer lined with paper towels, or cheesecloth.
Heat up 4 cups of water and 4 cups of sugar to a boil, and the sugar has dissolved. Let it cool completely. Add it to the lemon liquor in the original glass jar. I'm impatient - so I used an ice bath.
When you add the simple syrup to the infused liquor it becomes the solid yellow - almost orange juice in appearance, limoncello you are probably more familiar with. It is beautiful.
It will need to age and mellow with the simple syrup mixture for 40 more days. I know more waiting.... Thats why you'll want to have multiple batches going to always have some available.
After the 40 days the limoncello has mellowed enough for bottling. I purchased these cute 250 ml (8.5oz) bottles from http://www.save-on-crafts.com/glassbottles.html for $20 a case to bottle my limoncello. Then it can be gifted, or I can store a bottle in the freezer without taking up too much room.
I should also note: many of the recipes that I read stated that additional aging is necessary to create the best tasting limoncello, and aging for up to 6 additional months is recommended.
Thats it! You can also try this recipe using any citrus fruit - lime, grapefruit, oranges... a combination of citrus...the possibilities are endless!

Consolidation: Govt plans to merge major oil PSUs to take on international competition
Merging the existing oil and gas companies will give them "capacity to bear higher risks, avail economies of scale, take higher investment decisions and create more value for the stakeholders," Jaitley said.

Shares of oil firms rose up to 4.15 per cent on the announcement. Express Archive photo
The government plans to form a major oil company by merging some of the existing firms in the oil and gas sector to take on international and domestic players, finance minister Arun Jaitley said in his Budget speech on Wednesday. The government also announced setting up of two new strategic oil reserves in Chandikhole in Odisha and Bikaner in Rajasthan.
Merging the existing oil and gas companies will give them "capacity to bear higher risks, avail economies of scale, take higher investment decisions and create more value for the stakeholders," Jaitley said. Indian Oil Corporation, ONGC, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation and GAIL, are among the existing state-owned players operating in the energy sector.
Combining some or all of these into one major entity would give them the wherewithal to bid for major exploration and production assets in India and overseas. PSU oil companies compete with Reliance Industries and Cairn India in the domestic market. Post consolidation, the Indian PSU conglomerate would be able to compete with global players such as the UK's BP Plc and Russian state-owned giant Rosneft.
"Possibilities of such restructuring are visible in the oil and gas sector. We propose to create an integrated public sector oil major which will be able to match the performance of international and domestic private sector oil and gas companies," Jaitley said.
Shares of oil companies rose up to 4.15 per cent on the announcement. At the NSE, HPCL stock rose 4.15 per cent and IOC increased 2.35 per cent. Reliance Industries stock ended up 0.46 per cent, while Cairn India rose 2.48 per cent at Rs 283.
To hedge against energy security risks, the government is building emergency storage sites in underground caverns in the country. Along with the existing three reserves, the two new planned reserve facilities will take up the country's strategic reserve capacity to 15.33 Million Metric Tonnes.
"This will increase our storage capacity to meet the consumption requirement of about 90 days which is at par with the international benchmarks," Petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan said.
In another relief to the energy sector, the government also halved the custom duty on liquefied natural gas (LNG) to 2.5 percent from 5 percent. India meets more than 80 per cent of its energy requirements through imports and the government has announced the target of reducing this import dependence to 67 per cent by 2020.
While the government reduced import taxes on LNG, the oil and gas sector has not got the necessary impetus in the budget, said Raju Kumar, tax partner, oil and gas at Ernst & Young. "Some policy announcements with respect of supporting the strengthening of the transmission and distribution network for natural gas could have supported this cause even better," he said.

in a TR6 will lower it any amount?
Talk to the supplier to find out if the springs you are considering will lower the car I bought a set of uprated lowering springs (lowers car about 1" - I like the looks and the ride better) for my 1973 TR6 from Goodparts - he was able to give me info on how much I might expect the car to drop. I have noticed that it is possible to buy uprated standard lenght springs (maybe Moss) one should be very careful about buying these type as you might end up with a car that is actually elevated.
To maintain stock ride height with an stiffer/uprated spring, the spring would need to be slightly shorter than the stock spring. The real trick regardless of the springs chosen is getting the camber set on the rear of the IRS TR cars. You can always use those aluminum spacers that the factory supplied as a quick and dirty fix, but then you play havoc with your ride height. If you want to do it right you have to play with the different rear arm brackets to get the camber where you want it. As an example, the "from the factory" bracket set up for an early TR6 was the inner bracket was one notch, the outer was a 2 notch and both were mounted notches up. If this set up provides you with, say 3 degrees of negative camber and you want to get to factory callout of 1/4 degree negative to 1 degree positive you would be looking at a total camber change of 2.75 to 4 degrees.
First thing is to check the toe settings front and rear, then you can start playing with the trailing arm brackets. Using your same two brackets, if you take the outer two notcher and position notches down, you have a camber change of 3.4 degrees. The same two brackets with the one nother moved to the outside, notches down and the two notcher moved to the inner and up would result in a camber change of 3.2 degrees. To stay at slightly higher than called out negative camber, then you would use two of the same notch brackets with both notches pointed up or down for a total camber change of 2.3 degrees leaving you at 0.7 degrees negative. The options really start opening up when you throw the three notch brackets into the mix. After all of this is done, go back and double check the rear toe settings and adjust accordingly. The more you changed the camber, the more likely it is that you have to go back and adjust the rear toe settings.
Fortunately for us, someone has done all this homework for us and a table of relative cambers for different bracket combinations can be found in the Moss catalog on the same page with the rear suspension listings. If nothing else, you can always download the PDF files from the Moss Motors website and get the information that way. Since this information was submitted by an individual, Moss offers up the "Your mileage may vary" disclaimer. If nothing else it should at least provide a pretty good jumping off point.

RED BANK: ANOTHER RESTAURANT APPROVED
At 18 Broad Street, now concealed by scaffolding, the Art Deco foyer seen below will be replaced by one more reminiscent of the building's 19th-century origins, the architect said. (Photos by John T. Ward. Click to enlarge)
By JOHN T. WARD
Accelerating downtown Red Bank's flight from retail to food, the zoning board approved the conversion of a longtime shoe store to a restaurant Thursday night.
Dominating the two-hour hearing were two issues: whether the new owner of 18 Broad Street should be permitted to have three apartments upstairs, rather than the two allowed under the zoning ordinance, and whether the Art Deco foyer should be saved or replaced.
Barely mentioned: the impact of the 76-seat restaurant on parking.

[UPDATE: The zoning board meeting on the 18 Broad Street proposal was cancelled. The application was rescheduled for June 18.]
A proposal to turn a former downtown Red Bank shoe store into a restaurant and replace its distinctive curved-glass entryway is slated for review at Thursday night's zoning board meeting.
Preservationists have raised concerns about the plan for 18 Broad Street, which is located in the historic district, because, they say, it would eliminate the last remaining example of Art Deco design in the commercial district.

Origin and Development of Aurignacian Osseous Technology in Western Europe: a Review of Current Knowledge
Elise Tartar
ArScAn - Archéologies et Sciences de l'Antiquité
IdHAL : elise-tartar
The exploitation of osseous materials is one of the main innovations associated with the advent of the Upper Paleolithic in Europe. The concept of the Aurignacian, as defined by Abbé Breuil, was used for a long time as a strong argument in favor of a cognitive revolution: its "sudden" appearance was linked to the rapid and systematic diffusion of the Aurignacian culture and the widespread distribution of split-based points in Europe, and upheld the idea of a clear biological and conceptual rupture with the Middle Paleolithic. Since then, several factors have contributed to undermining this model. Renewed studies of Aurignacian osseous technology in Western Europe contribute to the ongoing redefinition of the mechanisms behind the construction of the Upper Paleolithic in Europe. Early Aurignacian osseous production was by no means limited to split-based points, and involved a wide variety of activities. The production of the different materials was already well structured and centered around three main spheres: reindeer antlers were mainly used for weapons, bone for the fabrication of domes- tic equipment and ivory was mostly reserved for ornaments. Although osseous technology was identified in some "transitional" groups, it spread and was durably integrated into techno-economical systems during the Aurignacian. It developed gradually in Europe and based on currently available knowledge, appears to have emerged in the Protoaurignacian societies of Western Europe. The emergence of this new technical domain seems to result from the transfer of wood working techniques to osseous materials, undoubtedly partly linked to a sudden shift in environmental conditions in Europe around 40 000 BP. The evolution of osseous production during the course of the first phases of the Aurignacian provides evidence of profound techno-economic changes, which, backed up by data from lithic studies, reveals powerful sociological changes during the transition between the Middle and Upper Paleolithic.

Neil Young songs drown in a sea of strings, horns
By Greg Kot
Nov 03, 2014 | 10:30 AM
Neil Young's brilliant if confounding career has a messy inconsistency, brimming with genius but also toss-offs, digressions and disasters. A few would-be duds ("On the Beach," "Trans") proved their value over time, if not quite up to par with the classics ("Rust Never Sleeps," "Ragged Glory," "Tonight's the Night," etc.). Others ("Landing on Water," "Everybody's Rockin'") still sound misguided. So where does album No. 35, "Storytone" (Reprise), fall in this wildly divergent discography?
It's a head-scratcher, in keeping with the ultra-low-fi, Voice-o-Graph album Young released earlier this year, "A Letter Home." In contrast to that record's primitive production, "Storytone" is big and saturated in strings and horns, with Young crooning like a '40s balladeer or trying to swing like a blues singer. As if to cover his bets, Young also is releasing a collection of the same songs done in a stripped down, solo setting. At 68, Young puts out albums designed to confound, as if to say, "Think you got me figured out? Well get a load of THIS."
It's a load of something, all right. A 92-piece orchestra mires Young's ecology anthem "Who's Gonna Stand Up," drawing attention to the painfully strident lyrics: "End fracking now, let's save the water and build a life for our sons and daughters." Young founders trying to ride atop a blues horn section on "Say Hello to Chicago" and "I Want to Drive My Car," which sound like leftovers from his 1988 "This Note's For You" clunker.
Yet the acoustic versions of these tracks fare better. "Who's Gonna Stand Up" comes off as conversational, more like an intimate interrogation of the self rather than a finger-pointing anthem. And "I Want to Drive My Car," sung somewhere between a whisper and a growl, becomes a spooky chug reminiscent of latter-day John Lee Hooker.
The orchestrations become even more of a distraction on Young's more melancholy pieces, especially "Plastic Flowers," a sequel of sorts to the devastated ecology anthem "After the Goldrush." The turmoil in Young's private life in recent months, including the dissolution of his longtime marriage, shadows the introspection of "Tumbleweed" and "When I Watch You Sleeping," but it's difficult to see why Young felt it necessary to glom strings atop tracks that sound infinitely better as sparse acoustic meditations.
The orchestral "Storytone" comes off as a showy distraction. It's best ignored. Head for the acoustic version instead, which contains a handful of Young's better recent songs, syrup-free.

stacynewell — March 5, 2010 — Leave a comment
Mark and I crammed two conferences into our crazy week. It sounds ridiculous to make the time to do that in the midst of painting and preaching and planning, but if you're to busy to grow, you're too busy. Larry Osbourne and Mark Batterson poured into our lives in truly humbling and astounding ways. We didn't come home exhausted. We came home with even more enthusiasm than ever.
On that note, do you realize what we are doing tomorrow by painting this building? We are taking a landmark that was once a seedy nightclub with a violent and disgusting history and making it a clean and amazing gathering place in our community. We are reclaiming a corner of Vancouver and making it glorify God. I spoke with a police officer on Wednesday night who recalled numerous 911 calls to our property. It was known for it's problems. We moved in and crime went down. Our very presence is redefining a piece of Vancouver.
Yes. It's just a building. It's just some cement and some rotten wood. But it's also a symbol. It's a symbol of a dream and prayer and an unstoppable God. It's a symbol of a group of people who are changed by grace and want to show the world how great their God is. Tomorrow it's paint and flowers, but that's just the beginning.

NEW YORK 3 HANDS Is it a coincidence or is it fate right now? New York was never on my menu this year. The time of place, month and let alone attempting to blend in holding an oversized train map of the city. If you are early for your scheduled meeting, then you are on time. If you are on time, then you will be later than expected. We can't really predict time to the precise measurement of foot steps per second. The distance from A to B or the delayed transportation of the mobility of other humans bumping into me at the tourist villa of Times Square. My casual metro ride, was far more interesting on this occasion. The 3 Hand Quartz detail on the Boss Orange Watches, triggered a bold orange alert through out my journey, what I called an addiction or passion for orange (Vitamin C). All that mattered on this occasion was arriving on my Staten Island Ferry, I just had to get on that boat, so I made sure I was at the front of this que. Whether I was thirsty for pulp free OJ or the urban chic mood to dress according for pre-halloween. I tried keeping my individuality, attempting to maintain elegant and style, whilst holding the American super sized Pumpkin. But we all have 24 hours in a day, which we know is just not enough time to eat a balanced diet, cook a 3 course meal for supper and maintain a laid-back lifestyle looking sharp on every occasion. Instead, cherish the time and capture memories to last, create a spontaneous way of approaching the past and face the test of time.

Clinton's lead now more than a million votes UPDATED
As I explained last week, Donald Trump was elected to the Presidency despite having fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. She has already set a record for the biggest popular vote victory despite losing the Electoral College; according to CNN, she now (11/17/16 5:00am EST) leads by about 1,045,000 votes, roughly twice the margin of Al Gore's victory over George W. Bush in 2000. This equates to 0.8% of the popular vote.
Moreover, Clinton's lead will only increase in the coming days. The CNN infographic cited above shows that only 78% of California's votes (where Clinton leads by roughly 3 million votes) have so far been counted. Her raw vote margin will continue to climb there until the votes are all counted.
People have raised two primary arguments against my position that having the Electoral Vote trump the popular vote is undemocratic. The first takes the view that Trump won under the rules as they are: If the popular vote were determinative, he would have campaigned more in California, New York, Texas, and other population centers, and, in his mind at least, he would have recorded an even bigger victory. The problem for this claim, as Josh Marshall has pointed out, is that Clinton would have also campaigned more in those states. Increasing voter turnout usually improves Democratic electoral fortunes, so electing the President by popular vote means that Democratic margins would increase, not decrease.
The second argument claims that focusing on the Electoral College as the reason for Clinton's loss lets her off the hook for her weaknesses as a candidate and a campaigner. And there is no doubt that she had her weaknesses. The problem with this view is that the existence of the Electoral College is a necessary condition for her to have lost. None of her campaign's other problems would have led her to lose the election if the Electoral College did not overweight the Wyomings of this country relative to the Californias. This structural disadvantage that populous states face is one of the biggest threats to democracy in America. And we've got to do something about it, soon.
Update: It's now over 1.5 million, according to CNN. California still only has 83% tallied. Some sources have Clinton's lead over 2 million now. Something is seriously wrong with this picture.

Labels: elections, Electoral College
Maybe I am uniformed. I thought that we live in a democratic republic. How is this different than a simple democracy?
Kenneth Thomas November 20, 2016 at 12:19 PM
The "republic" part means we elect representatives rather than having every individual vote on everything. But the Electoral College is not what makes us a republic; Congress is. France is a republic by virtue of electing a parliament. The goal of "one person, one vote" is that all elections should fairly represent everyone, so that one individual's vote doesn't count more than another's. Both the Senate and the Electoral College violate this, but it is a much easier task to reform the Electoral College than it is the Senate.

Furnish the fiscal court with information concerning the operations of the county departments, boards, or commissions, necessary for the fiscal court to exercise its powers or as requested by the fiscal court.
Consistent with procedures set forth in KRS Chapter 68, prepare and submit to the fiscal court an annual budget and administer the provisions of the budget when adopted by the fiscal court.
Keep the fiscal court fully advised as to the financial condition and needs of the county and make such other reports from time to time as required by the fiscal court or as he deems necessary.
Exercise with the approval of the fiscal court the authority to appoint, supervise, suspend, and remove county personnel (unless otherwise provided by state law).
With the approval of the fiscal court, make appointments to or remove members from such boards, commissions, and designated administrative positions as the fiscal court, charter, law or ordinance by create.

To the city that has welcomed her for the last 19 years, Traci Woish has decided that her way of giving back is by promoting Tuscany's finest treasures: gold, olive oil and wine.
While studying political science and international relations at the University of Santa Clara, California, Traci signed up to study for a year at Gonzaga University in Florence on a whim. Because she wanted to study abroad for more than a semester, her only choice was Florence even though her knowledge of Italian was limited, having studied French in high school.
She almost didn't make it to Florence: she was already making good money selling as a designer's specialist at Nordstrom's. Yet Traci knew there was more to life than a well-paying job, and she felt that studying for one year abroad would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that she just couldn't pass up.
During her year in Florence, Traci took almost every weekend off to travel around Europe and Italy with a friend. By June, because she hadn't spent much time exploring the city, she had decided to stay over the summer and spend another semester in Florence. She didn't want to leave without developing a relationship with the city.
When Traci returned to California to complete her BA at the university, she began an internship with the mayor of San Francisco and was looking forward to becoming a press secretary. But love stepped in and swept her back to Florence. She and her beau, Andrea, whom she met during the last few months of her stay, decided that they would live in Italy for a few years and then they'd move to the United States.
As fate would have it, Traci never left Florence. She became so engrossed with developing their business, The Gold Corner http://www.goldcorner.it in Piazza Santa Croce, and enjoying life in Florence that time just sped by. Andrea and Traci are partners in the jewelry store, which is one of the most successful ones in Florence, selling jewelry made with Italian 18k gold. Traci spends her time designing jewelry, and she has even created a line especially for the store, as well as selecting which pieces to sell.
A few years ago Traci took a couple of classes on Italian olive oil and wine, enhancing her appreciation for Italian culture. In 2003, Traci opened Italianloves http://www.italianloves.com/, a wine shop, on via dei Pepi, next to Piazza Santa Croce, to promote the most highly revered ingredients in Italian cuisine: olive oil, balsamic vinegar and wine. A sommelier, Lorenzo, works with her to introduce and educate people about the products they sell.
Over the years, Traci has not only developed a love for Florence, but also a sense of gratitude. She credits Florence for teaching her how to live in the moment, to accept things as they come and to enjoy every moment. Her life may not be what she had planned, but Traci takes pleasure in the city that has given her so much and expresses that joy in every project that she undertakes.


No matter how thoroughly you weatherproof your business, a severe hurricane with high winds can deal severe harm to your commercial property. When storms strike Rockwall and your business, it can be devastating for your whole family. Which is why you should call Paul Davis experts to help get your life back on track after your commercial property sustains storm damage.
Dangerous storms happen across the US, but weather in TX can be particularly crazy. Whatever the weather throws at you, the possibility of structural or cosmetic damage to your business is a reality. Depending on the month, you can expect to see potential for a variety of damage dealt to your building.
Hurricanes and tornadoes can be very destructive. These storms can grow strong enough to flatten buildings and throw heavy machinery. Even weaker storms can topple trees and rip building siding. The heavy winds and lightning strikes often present in these storms can devastate commercial and residential properties. Even if the exterior of your building is left untouched, runoff from local streams or cresting rivers add to the risk of your commercial property taking on flood water.
Just like thunderstorms, winter storms can result in structural damage to your business. Winter storms can leave you stuck in the building, unable to repair damage outdoors. Fast winds and heavy snowfall can result in roof damage, remove the siding of your property and even knock over trees and utility poles. Ice and snow pileup can also break power lines, which may leave your building without heat. Furthermore, low temperatures freeze plumbing.
No matter how severe the damage, We are prepared to bring your company back to normal. We offer the following services for storm damage recovery.
We know there's no convenient time for weather to strike, so we offer 24/7 emergency services. Simply reach out to us the moment you see damage to your property and our first responders will work quickly to assess the damage and fix it.
As soon as they reach your building, our experts will conduct a storm damage assessment. From top to bottom, we analyze your business for damage caused by wind, water and other elements.
If the damage to your company is severe, we conduct emergency board up services. We also treat mold and water damage caused by poor weather.
Severe weather can shake the foundation of your property and the perimeter around it. Paul Davis experts provide structural stabilization and reconstruction services.
After your business survives storm damage, insurance is the last item you want to handle.
Contact Paul Davis today to work with the Rockwall TX office. If your business has been dealt damage from a storm, call the professionals at Paul Davis.

Libby or Beth. Pregnant or not. Elizabeth has to make the choice of her life. Seventeen and pregnant: does she sacrifice her dreams for a baby, or do something she's not sure she can live with? Under pressure from her parents, she's juggling a boyfriend she's not sure she can trust, a best friend she keeps pushing away and her own indecision. Something's got to give. It's the hardest year she's ever faced — what choice will she make?

Q: JQuery Load and missing data I have a webpage containing lots of php and JQuery code. From this webpage, I use the Load function to open popup window and load webpages inside it.
I noticed that, randomly, I get some console error about "typos" in the code when opening the webpage, like "var foo 10" instead of "var foo = 10". Weird thing is, what's really in the webpage is "var foo = 10".
When I check the post performed when the load function is fired, I can see it load the page with missing/modified data randomly, causing errors.
I tried to place all the javascript code from the loaded page in the main page using the live() of JQuery for firing events, it tend to reduce the number of time I'm getting the issue, but from time to time I'm getting this strange behavior.
I also tried to delay the load function with some kind of throttle, but it hasn't changed anything.
Any idea how I could troubleshoot that ?
Thanks !

While many love (and collect) Hirschfeld TV Guide covers, not as many know of his drawings that appeared in the magazine in the mid 1960s that ran with reviews of new shows. In these drawings, Hirschfeld gave many their first views of Star Trek, Mission Impossible, That Girl and The Fugitive. Of course, many shows were not hits, such as this western spoof in which Conway played a klutzy sheriff who somehow bumbles his way into solving the crime. Hirschfeld loved to draw a great character actors like Conway.

Michigan Addiction Treatment
In Michigan, methamphetamine abuse is one of the leading causes of drug-related crimes and overdoses. Between 2007 and 2009, the number of statewide methamphetamine lab seizure incidents spiked 290 percent. The rate of drug-related deaths in Michigan exceeds the national average. There are more fatalities related to dangerous drugs than from motor vehicle accidents and firearms.
The most frequently abused drugs in Michigan include:
Michigan is centrally located between major drug trafficking regions such as Chicago, New York, Toronto and Montreal. Surrounded by large areas of water and highways, the state has quickly become a transportation center for cocaine, heroin and marijuana.
Detroit, in particular, has experienced alarming numbers of heroin and stimulant users. The city has historically been known as a core drug transit area for Colombian Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs) out of Florida and New York. Situated near waterways and lakes, Detroit offers many options for drug smugglers to transport products. In addition, large quantities of illicit substances enter the state through the Detroit Metropolitan Airport before heading to retailers in-state and around the Midwest.
Laws of Michigan Drug Use
Drug possession laws are strict in Michigan and will typically fall into one of two categories: simple possession (which is for your personal use only) and possession with intent to distribute. Being charged with an intent to distribute a drug often comes with much more severe sentencing.
Possessing a drug is more than having it in your pocket. You can be charged with possession of an illegal substance if it's found in your home, in your car or even lying next to you on the ground.
Schedules I and II drugs, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, ecstasy and prescription opiates are recognized as some of the most dangerous and addictive substances in Michigan. These come with serious drug charges, even for small amounts. Sometimes the court will allow first-time offenders to enter a rehab program instead of serving probation or time in jail. Charges and sentencing may vary based on the type of drug and the amount in possession.
Substance Quantity
Maximum Sentencing
Less than 50 grams 4 years in prison and $25,000 fine
Between 50 and 450 grams 20 years in prison and $250,000 fine
Between 450 and 1,000 grams 30 years in prison and $500,000 fine
More than 1,000 grams Life in prison and $1 million fine

Marijuana Laws in Michigan
In December 2008, the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act was enacted to allow those with certain health conditions to obtain a prescription for medical marijuana.
Qualifying conditions for medical marijuana in Michigan include:
Cachexia or wasting syndrome
HIV or AIDS
Nail-patella syndrome
Severe and persistent muscle spasms
Each patient is limited to two and one-half ounces of usable marijuana at any given time. While home cultivation is approved in Michigan, an individual can only have 12 or fewer plants in an enclosed, locked area.
The use of recreational marijuana in Michigan is illegal and comes with various penalties for possession. In addition to time in jail and fines, a conviction will result in a driver license suspension for six months.
Potential Sentence
Any amount Misdemeanor 1 year in jail and $2,000 maximum fine
In a park Misdemeanor or felony 2 years in jail and $2,000 maximum fine
Use of marijuana Misdemeanor 90 days in jail, $100 maximum fine
Addiction Treatment Laws in Michigan
Michigan has a wide range of harm reduction laws in place to help prevent drug abuse and keep residents safe. For instance, Michigan has a Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) in place known as the Michigan Automated Prescription System (MAPS). The system works by collecting prescription data on controlled substances and providing information to health care providers such as:
Physician's assistants
Information collected is shared among states who have implemented a PDMP. This helps medical professionals provide a better overall level of patient care by recognizing doctor hopping, substance abuse and insurance fraud.
High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Program
The Michigan High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program is designed to help local and state law enforcement agencies combat drug trafficking crimes. The designated Michigan HIDTA counties include:
Drugs that cross into the U.S. from Canada play a significant role in the Michigan HIDTA program. These counties are provided funding for state-of-the-art equipment and other resources to track and dismantle any Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs). Detroit, Flint and Saginaw are the largest drug markets in the eastern regions of the HIDTA. On the western side, Grand Rapid and Kalamazoo are the most prevalent markets.
Heroin trafficking and abuse has become as prominent as cocaine trafficking and abuse in Michigan. The HIDTA is putting additional efforts into fighting these dangerous drugs.
Some of the Michigan HIDTA's current projects involve:
Safe Streets Initiative: Law enforcement agencies ramp up their presence in susceptible neighborhoods known for violent street level drug trafficking
Conspiracy One Task Force: Partnership between the Detroit Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation targeting regional, national and international cocaine trafficking organizations
Southeastern Michigan Money Laundering Task Force: Federal and state-level agencies working together in an effort to dismantle the economic infrastructure of major drug organizations operating in Michigan
Drug Enforcement Administration Group Six: Multi-agency unit who immobilizes Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs) in an attempt to stop drug trafficking through southeastern Michigan

Public Act 200 of 2014
In June 2014, the Michigan Senate passed legislation that allows judges the ability to order adults to involuntary drug abuse treatment. If a person refuses to get help for their addiction, family members can now petition for involuntary substance abuse treatment. If approved, the court may order mandated treatment for up to 72 hours, or until a hearing occurs with evidence that the person is in no danger to themselves or others.
Substance abuse doesn't just harm the person struggling with addiction; it harms the families and friends of people in need of help, too. This law makes it easier to help those we love recover from drug use and repair families damaged by abuse.
- Michigan state Representative, John Walsh
Treatment Centers in Michigan
Michigan offers many different low cost and state-funded addiction treatment services. For example, there are several Women's Specialty Services (WSS) and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) prevention services. Across the state, women who are pregnant or have parental rights to their children are placed on a priority list for treatment.
Services provided through Michigan state and federal funds consist of:
Other treatment centers and rehab facilities may offer a discounted rate to those in need or a payment plan to offset the upfront costs. Private insurance plans may also help cover substance abuse program expenses. Check with your insurance provider about possible deductibles or reimbursements for treatment.
When researching addiction treatment centers, it's important to keep an open mind. You may find that an out-of-state facility encompasses everything you're looking for. A facility further from home shouldn't deter you from getting the treatment you deserve.
Going out of state for treatment can prove more beneficial and successful than in-state facilities.
The advantages of out-of-state treatment centers include:
Distances you from triggers and other bad influences
Prevents you from walking out and going home
Offers a chance to focus solely on your health and wellbeing
Provides an opportunity to receive care from top-rated facilities
Delivers better probability for long-term recovery and sobriety
Get the help you deserve to overcome your addiction. Contact us today and find a treatment center that's best for you.

We first started with 2 white Ryelands in September 2016. The thought first occurred to me to make something from their gorgeous wool while working with them one day. They are one of Britains oldest heritage down breeds originating from Herefordshire.
I introduced the coloured variety not long after and in 2017 set up The Sheep Shed to promote the breed and the sustainable and environmentally friendly nature of the wool and the products we manufacture today.
All the items are produced in the UK using British companies and are a direct result from Temple Farm and the Balantradoch Ryelands and the Temple Coloured Ryeland flocks.
All of our ewes and lambs are very friendly and one shout and a rattle of the bucket gets them running to us! Our two tups are Broomwell Wilf (white) and Ashley Moor Hall Wizard. You couldn't get a more friendly pair and they just love a scratch!!
