There was no ignoring the elephant in Sue and Lester Smith's ballroom. The passing of both former first lady Barbara Bush and President George H.W. Bush in 2018 left a Texas-size void in Thursday's author announcement party ahead of the 25th annual Celebration of Reading.
The legendary couple's son, Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation co-founder and chairman Neil Bush, was quick to address the palpable change. "Frankly, dad lived to be 94 and was married to the feisty love of his life. So we're not sad, but uplifted. They lived a good life."
A mood-shifting anecdote at his brother's expense - that would be the family's other former president, George W. Bush - brought the shindig back into festive mode. Immediately following their father's four-day memorial, the state funeral planner, whom the younger President Bush affectionately nicknamed "Dr. Death," reportedly moved on to his next "victim." "After 10 years of planning dad's funeral, Dr. Death, sent a team to Dallas to start prep for W's funeral. That shut George up real quick."
Laughter proved the best ice-breaker, and the holiday program resumed its merry agenda.
BBHLF president Dr. Julie Baker Finck shared the non-profit's year-end update and Celebration of Reading's ambitious fundraising goal: $2.5 million.
In 2018, funds raised from various events provided some 150,000 books to under-served local youth via My Home Library, a new project which arranges for deserving children to each select six books for their personal collection.
She also shared that the BBHLF's Ladies for Literacy Guild has secured the funds - thanks to Houston Children's Charity and Citgo - for a second mobile library after just one year of delivering books on the road. The original Curiosity Cruiser "has really burned rubber."
Neil feels that the 2019 Celebration of Reading line-up is strong enough to nearly double Finck's goal. He hinted - with a wink - that supporters are capable of bringing in $4.1 million, a nod to his father's presidential moniker, "41."
His wife and fellow BBHLF co-founder Maria Bush joined Finck front-and-center for the big reveal. Dr. David Eagleman, Ellie LeBlond Sosa, Susan Page and James Patterson are slated to headline the main event May 2 at the Hobby Center. Patterson, Guinness World Record-holder for the most No. 1 "New York Times" best-sellers, and Page, who was reportedly given full access to the Bush family for "THE MATRIARCH: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty," are both significant draws.
After the unveiling, the intimate group of 120 guests returned to the Smiths' dining room for second helpings of Culinaire's hearty feast and a holiday travel story swap - just as the late first lady and president would have wanted.

Q: How to connect to a xen console via Net::SSH (ruby) I'm trying to write some ruby code that could connect to a XenServer VMs console (via /usr/lib/xen/bin/xenconsole) by first SSHing into the Host server then accessing the VMs console from the command line.
To do this I'm using the ruby library Net::SSH.  I'm doing ok logging into the Host server via SSH and running the commands to get the DOM id of the VM.  The problem comes when I'm running the xenconsole command.  You have to press "enter" after the command to get dumped into the console, then you have to press CTRL + ] to exit the VM's console and get back to the Host's command line.
I'm using the code below, but it hangs at the "press enter" point and doesn't give any feedback from the SSH channel either as STDOUT or STDERR.  What can I do to get to the VM's console to execute commands on the VM?  Then how do I send the CTRL + ] characters?
def execute_remote_console(hostname, port, username, password, uuid)

begin

Net::SSH.start( hostname, username, :password => password, :port => port ) do |session|

  dom_list_line = session.exec! "list_domains | grep #{uuid}"
  if dom_list_line.match(/(\d+)/)
    dom_id = $1
    puts "found #{uuid} on DOM #{dom_id}"
  else
    raise "couldn't find DOM id"
  end

  console_command = "/usr/lib/xen/bin/xenconsole #{dom_id}"
  puts "connecting to console: #{console_command}"

  session.exec!( console_command ) do |ch,stream,data|

    puts "pressing (enter)"
    ch.send_data "\n"

    case stream
      when :stderr
        puts "E-> #{data}"
        ch.exec "cat /etc/hostname" do |chan, success|
          raise "could not execute command" unless success

          # "on_data" is called when the process writes something to stdout
          chan.on_data do |c, data|
            $STDOUT.print data
          end

          # "on_extended_data" is called when the process writes something to stderr
          chan.on_extended_data do |c, type, data|
            $STDERR.print data
          end

          chan.on_close { puts "done!" }
        end
      when :stdout
        puts "O-> #{data}"
      else
        puts" other: #{data}"
    end

  end #end session.exec

end #end SSH.start

Global Climate Change Recorded In Antarctic Marine Fossils
An ancient type of marine community typical of 450 million years ago has resurfaced in Antarctic fossils of near-modern age. A National Science Foundation-sponsored expedition to Seymour Island off the Antarctic Peninsula unearthed an ecological anomaly: fossil communities only 40-million-years-old dominated by brittle stars and sea lilies (marine invertebrates like starfish).
The authors of the paper detailing the findings, published in the October, 1997 issue of the journal Geology, believe that as Antarctica entered its current deep freeze, cooling ocean temperatures suppressed predation and spurred a dramatic increase in nutrients upwelling in the Southern Ocean surrounding the continent. "This discovery is a good example of how global climate change can have severe impacts on marine life," said Richard Aronson, senior marine scientist at Dauphin Island Sea Lab and lead author of the paper.
The community structure reflected in the Seymour Island fossils -- that is, the comparative numbers of different organisms occupying particular ecological niches -- was much more typical of the shallow seas of 150-to-450 million years ago. After that, predation by newly evolved fish and other creatures confined brittle stars and sea lilies to habitats in the depths of the sea.
The paper's authors believe that when Antarctic temperatures began to plummet, however, predation was disrupted -- some predator populations shrank and others went extinct -- and the archaic community structure reappeared. In fact, the brittle stars and sea lilies clustered in dense beds of fossils show few arm injuries, an indication that predation was light.
Bottom dwellers such as brittle stars and sea lilies also require abundant nutrients. "Global cooling accelerated about 40 million years ago in the late Eocene, and this longterm trend was accompanied by increased upwelling in the Southern Ocean, including around the Antarctic Peninsula," the authors said, which made more nutrients available.
The authors also point out that today, living bottom-dwelling communities in Antarctic waters also show archaic characteristics. Perhaps conditions in the Antarctic or in the Southern Ocean generally work in some way to maintain these old-fashioned community structures, they suggest.

WOLVES IN WOLVES 2017
LOGO SAMPLES (MONO)
CHARLIE AND THE MAGIC PEN : The True story of Charlie Grigg
My good friend the writer and performer Billy Spakemon approached me early in 2018 about an idea he had for a children's story about Black Country artist Charlie 'Chas' Grigg and asked if I would illustrate it.
Front cover of 'Charlie and The Magic Pen'
About Charlie and 'Our Best Kept Secret'
Charlie Grigg
Chas was a modest family man, living all his life in the Black Country, who quit working full time in a factory to become highly successful comic artist for publishers DC Thomson, working on titles such as The Beano and The Dandy, and drawing characters like Desperate Dan and Korky the Cat. Anyone over a certain age in the UK (including myself) will have grown up reading these comics and they would have brought hours of fun and escape from the real world.

I'd already been involved in a creative project about Chas called 'Our Best Kept Secret'. A group of fellow Black Country artists, writers and musicians contributed work about Chas for a series of live shows to raise funds to get a blue plaque which was installed at Rood End School where Chas had attended as a boy. Read the article.

Dream to reality: Creating the book
Billy knew I also did graphic design and illustration and so asked if I would illustrate a new story he'd written which tells Chas's story for a young audience, about 6 years old and up. The message is an important one, that young people CAN feel that if they have a dream (like being a professional artist) then they should follow their dream, put the effort and tenacity in. Of course I said yes and then began the task of bringing Billy's handwritten script to life.

Chas's comic strip about Rufus Rabbit
Chas's comic strip about 'Bloop' for the Sunday Mercury newspaper
My initial scamp drawings of Charlie and the heading of the cover
I began by drawing outlines in pencil, then inked them and combined elements to make the required image. This example shows MY hand(!) drawing one of Chas's actual characters, Bloop (see above).
I then scanned the drawings and coloured them on the computer using Adobe PhotoShop®.
I did the design of the book too, combining Billy's words with the illustrations to create an engaging story for young people.
It took a lot longer than I originally imagined. I have empathy now for Chas, having to produce drawings for comics for strict deadlines, it's a lot harder than it looks. I wanted to use a style that resonated with Chas's own work – bright, colourful and full of wit and charm – and I hope I have done him justice and that people of all ages enjoy the story and images.
The finished book is 48 pages, 210x210mm in size and printed on gloss art paper. Please Contact me if you'd like a copy @ £5.99 each. Early indications are that the book is selling well.

Dementia and Dudley 'Me Myself & I' Support Group
Sadly Chas suffered from vascular dementia late in life and his son became his primary carer. I met Steve Grigg during my research for the songs I wrote about Charlie for the Our Best Kept Secret show and I got to hold Chas's original drawings of Korky the Cat and Desperate Dan and lots more. It was one of those moments in life that I will keep with me forever. Chas attended the Dudley dementia support group : Me, Myself and I - for carers and people living with the effects of dementia.
Chas never let on that he was a world renown artist, it only came out after his passing. It seems that my own life has paralleled Charlie's. I also left my full time job to follow my dream of becoming a full time designer and art workshop leader. In another, more poignant parallel, my own mother suffered with dementia and passed away recently. The Dudley Me, Myself and I Group has been a great support to me and my family and on 1st September 2019 myself, my partner and daughter are all taking part in Wolverhampton Half Marathon to raise money for the support group.

"Support Life" Update: Getting the story of Rich McMahon out there
I was an artist on the Wolves in Wolves public art project in Wolverhampton in Summer 2017.
I designed and painted 2 5ft tall wolf sculptures: one called 'Old Gold' for Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club featuring facts and figures about the club and one called "Support Life" about suicide prevention and mental well-being in association with University of Wolverhampton. You can scroll down this page to read an earlier blog post about the 'Support Life' wolf.
The workshops that I held with various groups for vulnerable people (see various logos below) led to me reforming my community arts workshops company which you can visit here: Real Arts Workshops.
One of the things that was important to me was that the story behind the wolf was told via the dibond panel attached to the plinth.

My good friend and previous musical partner Rich McMahon lost his own battle with depression in 2015. We worked together in a musical partnership for a number of years including on his show Beyond Borders touring the village halls around the Midlands and performing an eclectic mix of folk, pop and rock songs, covers and original, telling the story of how music can break down barriers.
Alex Vann and Rich McMahon. Photo (c) Paul Collins
When I learnt that Rich had taken his own life it had a profound effect on me. Why didn't he speak to me about his struggles? I've been there myself so I could empathise and maybe avert a disaster but then I never spoke to him about my own issues. So many questions came to me and a terrible feeling of things being left undone. We never wrote a song together, we didn't do any studio recordings together we had so much more work to do.
Through the workshops for Support Life I was able to talk with professionals who work in this field and I was able to ask some of my questions. I gradually came to accept that even if Rich had been ready to talk (and he wasn't) each person is a unique being with their own set of complex issues and my situation is different from his. See below for a list of these agencies with links to the work they do.
When Support Life was installed at University of Wolverhampton early in 2018, I noticed that the information panel wasn't there. It bothered me that Rich's name was missing when he'd been so important in the thought process behind the wolf design and painting. So I designed a new information panel and got in touch with the University about getting it installed. David Wedge from the Alumni office was really supportive throughout and I'm pleased to say the panel is now in place on the plinth and I hope people take the time to read about it.

AVD in the news!
We were over the moon to feature in the newly launched ZERO DEGREES magazine.
You can read the issue here: Zero Degrees Issue One. It features many local Wolverhampton business owners and personalities including Jody Craddock, DJ Janos, Alex Is, Mel Eves and of course me!
There was also a feature in Express and Star about a Wolves in Wolves design I did recently for Tettenhall Remembers.
And I feature on a poster for Future First which is designed to inspire students at my old school! Now called Q3 Academy Tipton.
And another Express and Star article is available online. It's about my Support Life Wolves in Wolves design being relocated to Wolverhampton University.
Designing a 5ft Wolf: #1 SUPPORT LIFE
I was over the moon when I was approached late in 2016 to get involved in the Wolverhampton City Council's public art project 'Wolves in Wolves' as the designer of not one, but TWO of the 30 5ft tall wolf sculptures dotted around the city. (Actually, 3 if you count the miniature Wolves FC one, but more on that in a later article).
I'd admired several similar art projects in previous years: 'The Big Hoot' Owls in Birmingham, the Gorillas of Norwich and of course Liverpool's Superlambananas (and, later on, Penguins) and always thought it would be great to get to design and paint a sculpture such as this, so this is a case of a dream becoming a reality.
My brief was to design and paint the suicide prevention and mental-wellbeing wolf. Part is this brief was to hold art workshops with different agencies who deal with people at risk of suicide: P3, Haven, Papyrus : prevention of young suicide and Base 25, to get their ideas about what design should go on the wolf.
NHS: 5 ways to wellbeing which feature in the bright orange jigsaw pieces on my wolf.
Very early on came the idea of a jigsaw puzzle, which I tried to get away from, feeling it was too much of a visual cliché. However, I kept coming back to: usually a sign of a strong idea. It seemed to facilitate showing lots of viewpoints on the subject of suicide and mental well-being.
Also early on I knew that not all the pieces would be in place and actually one of them might be missing.
What was coming out of the workshops was this notion of people feeling disenfranchised and unable to talk about feelings. I thought it was important that the design address that, as well as other issues that came up.
Some images from the workshops: Snakes and Ladders, noticing artworks (in this case Mondrian), Home, Family, LGBT (the photos are mine, the artwork belongs to the artists)
I was really pleased with the work that was coming out of the workshops and so the next step was to collate all the imagery and start planning the design to go on the wolf.
Initial design, showing ideas and the concept of the missing piece of the jigsaw, to be found on the plinth.
A Mini - Mini Wolf! I made this using modelling clay so that I could picture where everything would go.

The Official bit......
The design for this wolf came about following several workshops with different agencies. The jigsaw idea relates to how different aspects of life make up a whole person.
The five ways to mental well-being are picked out in the vibrant orange pieces and other imagery and words are used to support these.
Also shown is the board game 'Snakes and Ladders' which refers to how life can be full of ups and downs. The 'missing piece' can be found on the plinth.
Alex dedicates this wolf to the memory of his good friend Rich McMahon.
In Wolverhampton, between 2013-2015, 66 people ended their life by suicide. The majority of these 66 were men, a trend which is seen across the country and abroad.
Organisations' and services across the city of Wolverhampton recognise the importance of taking proactive action to prevent suicide because suicide is preventable. In Wolverhampton, groups have come together to form the Suicide Prevention Stakeholder Forum. Coordinated through the Public Health and Wellbeing Team within the City of Wolverhampton Council, the forum is independently chaired and consists of a range of organisations from statutory, education and third sectors. Together the forum has undertaken a needs assessment on which basis a strategy and an action plan has been formed.
In January 2018 'Support Life' was relocated to Wolverhampton University.

Sheelah (formerly known as Caracola) is a Swedish girl group originally launched in 2006 with members Frida Karlsson, Emma Lewin and Emilie Rosén and later Sara Li in 2009 as a replacement for Frida when she left Caracola. As of 2014, Caracola was relaunched with members Vendela Hollström, Ebba Knutsson and Sannah Johansson. They sing in harmonies as well as in chorus, and the style of their music varies between schlager pop and Ibiza-style trance, but a dance element is usually present. The name was changed from Caracola to Sheelah in 2009, after a disagreement with their earlier record label, who had the rights to the name Caracola. Singer Sara Li left the group in 2010 to focus on her solo career.

Sheelah disbanded in 2011. In January 2014, Caracola was relaunched with Vendela Hollström, Ebba Knutsson and Sannah Johansson.

Caracola attained a number of Top 10 singles in Sweden, with "Överallt" (2006), "Sommarnatt" (2006), "Glömmer bort mig" (2006), "Mango Nights" (2007) and "Smiling in Love" (2008).

On February 23, 2008, they participated in the third semi-final of Melodifestivalen 2008 with the song "Smiling in Love". After finishing within the top half of their semi-final but not within the top-quarter, they got through to the round called 'Andra Chansen' ('Second Chance') on March 8, but lost in a head-to-head vote against Ola's "Love in Stereo". Nonetheless, "Smiling in Love" went on to become one of their greatest hits in the Swedish singles chart, spending significantly more weeks on the Swedish singles chart than any other hit of theirs to date, outlasting nearly all of the Melodifestivalen entries that reached the final of the competition, and notably spending twice as many weeks in the Swedish Top 25 as Ola's song, which managed only seven, of which one in the Top 10.

Caracola have released albums in both Swedish and English, but these have been less successful than their singles so far, their first "Caracola" (2006) peaking at No. 34 and spending just two weeks on the Swedish album chart, their second "Love Alive" (2007) peaking at No. 43 in its sole week on the chart, and their third "This is Caracola" (2008) peaking at No. 24 though enjoying a total of nine weeks in the Top 50 albums chart.

At the beginning of 2009, Frida left Caracola for unknown reasons and was replaced by Sara Li. Later in 2009, after issues with their record label, they stopped as Caracola and left the label, leaving them unable to use their old Caracola name anymore. They changed their name to Sheelah and began working on their new album with an edgier pop/dance sound. They continued to tour around Sweden as Sheelah, performing a mixture of Caracola songs and covers. Sometime during 2010, Sara Li left Sheelah to focus on her solo career and Sheelah continued as a duo with Emma and Emelie.

Later in 2010, Sheelah released their new song called "Psycho". In 2011, they returned with a new single called "The Last Time", with a promotional music video being shot and uploaded on YouTube. Sadly, in fall 2011, Emma decided to leave Sheelah to pursue a solo career. She has not been replaced yet and nothing has been heard from Sheelah since Emma's departure, leaving fans to believe Sheelah is either on break or disbanded.

As of 2012, Emma Lewin is now a solo artist under her own name. She released her first song online with a music video called "No Excuses", which has a dance/pop sound close to their Sheelah material. She is currently in the recording process of her debut album.

In January 2014, it was revealed that Caracola would be relaunched with three new members, Vendela Hollström, Ebba Knutsson and Sannah Johansson. The group began touring around Sweden, performing Caracola hits like "Smiling In Love", "Mango Nights" and "Sommernatt" and also a mixture of cover songs. Caracola also started recording a new single, due for a release in 2014, however, activities with the new line-up stopped in April 2014 and updates on their official pages stopped as well.

Recently, their Twitter account @caracolaofficial was taken offline. Their Facebook banner also removed the photo of the new line-up and replaced it with a photo of the Caracola logo. In 2015, it has been confirmed with members of the recent line-up that they are no longer in Caracola, however, a member hinted that Caracola itself hasn't ended. It is unknown if the label has any further plans for Caracola, as no official word from the label about their activities have been announced.

Memorial Sloan Kettering's 2018 Convocation and Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences Commencement ceremony honored the accomplishments of clinicians and scientists from both MSK and the broader research community.
On May 30, 2018, Memorial Sloan Kettering's Zuckerman Research Center Auditorium played host to MSK's 39th annual Academic Convocation and Commencement. The ceremony honored the nine students from the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSK) who received their PhD degrees in cancer science this year. Awards were also presented to distinguished scientists and clinicians from both MSK and other institutions.
MSK President and CEO Craig B. Thompson began the festivities by introducing the day's other speakers and welcoming all the attendees, including the GSK graduates and their families, the award winners, and other members of the MSK community.
Dr. Thompson highlighted many advances in cancer science since the last convocation and commencement gathering. These included the US Food and Drug Administration's approval of two drugs that originated in MSK labs, the success of immunotherapy for tumors that have a high mutational burden, important advances in structural biology, and discoveries that made surprising links between cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. He also highlighted the FDA authorization of MSK-IMPACTTM, MSK's test that looks for hundreds of cancer-related mutations in tumors.
In addition to the nine new PhD scientists graduated from GSK — which brings the total number of alumni to 53 since the school admitted its first class in 2006 — Dr. Thompson also congratulated 32 graduates from Weill-Cornell Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences' class of 2018 who undertook their thesis work in MSK laboratories.
One of the highlights of the ceremony was a talk from neuroscientist Cori Bargmann, who leads the Lulu and Anthony Wang Laboratory of Neural Circuits and Behavior at The Rockefeller University and is also head of science at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
There's never been a time to be more inspired by what science and medicine can accomplish.
Dr. Bargmann also discussed the importance of using technology, including computation and machine learning, to address problems central to human biology. "The captivating tools of Silicon Valley have a great deal of potential when we are able to deploy them based on what we know from our deep knowledge of science and medicine," she said. She concluded her talk by calling for more openness and sharing in biomedical research, and for making patients' experience and knowledge more central to science.
Another speaker at the ceremony was GSK student speaker Catherine (Kasia) Konopacki, who completed her doctoral research this year in the lab of immunologist Alexander Rudensky. Her thesis focused on a type of immune cells called regulatory T cells, and the importance of these cells in breast cancer.
Nine students will don caps and gowns to celebrate their academic achievements and receive their PhDs from the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSK).
Gary Dixon, a graduate student in Danwei Huangfu's lab, received the Frank Lappin Horsfall, Jr. Fellowship.
Nicole Weiss, a graduate student in Minkui Luo's lab, received the Dorris J. Hutchison Fellowship.
Stanislav Dikiy, a graduate student in Dr. Rudensky's lab, received the new General Atlantic Graduate Research Fellowship.
Postdoctoral fellows Neta Schlesinger, of Tobias Hohl's lab, and Ly Vu, who works in the labs of both Michael Kharas and Ross Levine, received Postdoctoral Research Awards.
Postdoctoral researcher Hui Yang of Dinshaw Patel's lab received a Tri-Institutional Breakout Prize for Junior Investigators.
Philipp Niethammer of the Cell Biology Program received the Louise and Allston Boyer Young Investigator Award for Basic Research.
Michael Berger, a geneticist and Associate Director of the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Center for Molecular Oncology, received the Boyer Clinical Research Award.
Dean Bajorin, a medical oncologist who specializes in treating genitourinary cancers, received the Willet F. Whitmore Award for Clinical Excellence.

Cancer evidence in Neanderthal fossil
According to a fossil study, a Neanderthal living 120,000 years ago had a cancer that is common today.
A fossilized Neanderthal rib found in a shallow cave at Krapina, Croatia, shows signs of a bone tumor.
The discovery is the oldest evidence yet of a tumor in the human fossil record, say US scientists.
The research, published in the journal PLOS One, gives clues to the complex history of cancer in humans.
A fossilized Neanderthal rib found in a shallow cave at Krapina, Croatia, shows signs of a bone tumor
Until now, the earliest known bone cancers have been identified in ancient Egyptian remains from about 1,000-4,000 years ago.
"It's the oldest tumor found in the human fossil record," said Dr. David Frayer, the University of Kansas anthropologist who led the US team.
"It shows that living in a relatively unpolluted environment doesn't necessarily protect you against cancer, even if you were a Neanderthal living 120,000 years ago."
The fossil was uncovered from an important archaeological site that has yielded almost 900 ancient human bones, along with stone tools.
The cancerous rib is an incomplete specimen, so the overall health impact of the tumor on the individual cannot be established.
The tumor was diagnosed by a medical radiologist from X-rays and CT scans.
Although efforts to extract ancient DNA from the Neanderthal fossil have proved unsuccessful, the researchers hope other fossils may shed light on cancer in prehistoric humans.

Q: Get timestamp of week returns NaN I am trying to get a timestamp of the week, starting on a monday, similar to this C# script:
DateTime now = DateTime.UtcNow;
now = DateTime.UtcNow.StartOfWeek(DayOfWeek.Monday);
int weekday = (int)(now.Subtract(new DateTime(1970, 1, 1))).TotalSeconds;

This returns: 1548633600
When trying this in javascript I get NaN error:
var d = new Date();
var w = Date.UTC(thisYear, thisMonth, d.setDate(d.getDate() - (d.getDay() || 7) + 1), 0, 0, 0, 0);
var weekDay = Math.floor(w / 1000);

Not sure what i am doing wrong. Hoping for help :-)

A:

var d = new Date();
var day = d.getUTCDay();

var utcTime = Date.UTC(d.getUTCFullYear(), d.getUTCMonth(), d.getUTCDate() - day + 1);
var weekDay = utcTime / 1000;

console.log(weekDay);

A: Try this way: this returns Friday, update it to get Monday
var t = new Date().getDate() + (6 - new Date().getDay() - 1) - 7 ;
var d = new Date();
d.setDate(t);
var lastFriday = d;
console.log(lastFriday);

Even though it isn't officially Breast Cancer Awareness month, yet I still want to blog this Cancer Card of Courage. Any time is a good time to talk about the importance of being proactive in caring for your breasts. Someone going through Breast Cancer or any other form of cancer is a stark reminder. I made this card to send to some I know battling this disease. With my health history, I know first hand the courage it takes to deal with the challenges of chemotherapy and radiation. You may know someone dealing with this dreadful disease that could use some courage.
The lovely card was made using Powder Pink cardstock, along with Sweet Sugarplum cardstock embossed using the Petal Burst Textured embossing folder. This adds a nice bit of texture on the card front. I stamped the large ribbon and the sentiment onto Powder Pink cardstock using the Embossing Buddy. I followed with the Versamark stamp pad, Gold Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder. What a lovely way to showcase this set. I colored the ribbon in a bit using an Aqua Painter and ink from the Sweet Sugarplum stamp pad for some added color. It was cut using the Support Ribbon framlet set and popped up with Dimensionals. They were added onto a Layered Oval framelit cut out of Powder Pink cardstock. This was set upon Layered Oval framelit scalloped oval of Gold Foil Sheets to accent the gorgeous gold. I love the look of this card and think it makes a lovely cancer card of courage. The photo does not do it justice.
I applied the same technique to the sentiment at the bottom. While moving with a courageous spirit towards recovery, I hope my friend enjoys this lovely card to brighten her day. Why not take a few moments to send a special card of encouragement to someone you know. I am certain they will appreciate your gesture of kindness.


Discussion in 'Handloading and Reloading' started by MADDOG, Mar 8, 2012.
My old Lee 3 hole turret press finally quit. The area around roll pin holding the linkage cracked and now it is flexing pretty bad. I called and they said send it in and they will look at it. They also said they would sell me a new one at 50% off. It was made in 1984 and I really thought it would out live me. We'll see what happens.
Why not knock out the old pins and just replace them?
Look at Lee's website. They sell most parts for their presses/dies/casting molds and if you're mechanically adept, you can usually replace a worn/broken part for just a few bucks.
I retired my first Lee Pro 1000 after loading 250,000+ rounds on it. It still worked, but the holes on the linkage had elongated.
When I called Lee Precision, they offered to rebuild it to factory specs at 50% retail cost, but I just bought another kit from Midway on sale for $150 as newer presses have better spent primer slot on ram and more extensive webbing inside the base for greater strength.
I now have 2 Pro 1000s setup for 9mm/40S&W and 45ACP, so I am probably good for round count 750,000+.
As to rifle cartridges, I don't anticipate replacing the Lee Classic Turret anytime soon (probably end up passing it on to my son).
I'd take them up on the offer. I'd say get an iron one but you're probably well set with three hole die plates etc. How many rounds through that thing?
RCBS would have sent a new one for free.
Not exactly "free". Such niceties are built into your purchase price upfront - whether you ever need to use it or not. I've never understood the mentality that is sometimes common in our industry that one should pay and extra $150 for an item from one company because when you need a $3 part a few times over the life of the device they won't charge you for it .
Considering that he got 28 years out of the original press, and has an offer on a new one for 50%, I don't see him going through too many of these. Given that the price of the Lee + 50% replacement is likely still well under the price of the RCBS, then you'll not really financially ahead to go with them and take your "free" replacement.
Bwana, ya at four times the price.
We don't need another "should have bought a Dillon" tangent either.
That doesn't help the OP.
You might want to also consider converting the 3 hole press to a 4 hole press for more versatility. But if what you have works for you, I think you can get that old press back into buisness at very little expense.
They carry or can get all the parts also. No promotion for fsreloading, just another option.
The housing cracked around the roll pin hole. It must be a stress point as it was flexing quite a bit at that point. They also said they changed the design 15 years ago and changed the roll pins to shoulder bolts. They are going to look at it and let me know. I really can't complain as it did last a long time. I have my brothers old Rock Chucker but I sure like the turret better.
If I changed to a 4 holer I'd have to buy new turrets. I have plenty of 3 hole ones so I'm going to stick with what I have. I just hope it don't take to long. I like to load up all I can before the "Texas Heat" gets here.
I just looked at the site with the parts. I didn't know I could buy a new frame. Who would of thought.
I have a good friend that without a doubt wore out a Rock Chucker.... I never thought I would see the day and I'm a green man through and through. That thing had so many strokes on it that there was more play in it than a pro golfer!!! RCBS replaced it I think. They probably have it on display somewhere, I'll betcha it made more than a million rounds.
Ya'll are funny. If Red works for me and Green works for you so be it. It's kinda hard to start over after all these years. I didn't keep any records, I just kept reloadin'. The time came for it to crap out. Lee products have been good for me. Now go kiss your Green press.
"RCBS would have sent a new one for free. "
Yeah, but that 'free' stuff sure costs us. And it ain't a matter of what works or doesn't, it all works.
No offense intended but paying a high price for some things just to get a lifetime of 'free' parts is delusional; fact is, we really do pay for the parts whether we ever need them or not. I have no loyalty to inanimate objects, I buy my reloading tools according to the user features I want, not for the brand or a warranty.
I can't imagine anyone 'wearing out' an iron press of any brand unless it was neglected; specifically being worked for ages while unclean and un-oiled.
Finally wore out my Rockchucker after 37 years of use and replaced it with a Forster Coax. Wish I had done so sooner. Will be sending the green machine back for replacement or repair and will keep on the side.
Lee Precision just called. They are going to replace the ram and the base. They will send it back to me on Monday. I asked "how much do I owe you" and they said---"No Charge"---I really like RED.
This has been my experience with Lee, even when I explained to them it was entirely my fault.
Great company, mostyly great products, but I believe those are being looked into.
That's very good of Lee to replace it FOC.
I very much like Lee's dies, single stage presses & their Classic Turret press.
What is going on with your Pro1000? I love mine. If I can help figure something out PM me. I'm sure bds would make the same offer & he probably knows more about them then I do. At least he has seen more problems then I have.

Home » Judith van Leeuwen
Judith van Leeuwen is Assistant Professor at the Environmental Policy Group of Wageningen University. Her research interest lies with the nexus between changing architectures of global environmental governance and the changing role and authority of state and business actors. Business actors who have advanced environmental management systems not only have an internal corporate environment policy but also seek colloboration with governments, stakeholders and communities to address social and environmental concerns. As a result multi-stakeholder alliances and initiatives have emerged that complement, challenge and change governmental environmental policies. Using business administration insights, Judith investigates how corporate environmental management and multi-stakeholder initiatives influences architectures of global environmental governance.
During her PhD Judith investigated to what extent business actors have become more proactive and powerful and subsequently changed the institutional architecture of the environmental governance of shipping and offshore oil and gas production on the North Sea. She continued this line of research and has published multiple articles and book chapters on the environmental governance of shipping. Currently, she is also involved in the Green Shipping Partnership that is coordinated by the University of British Columbia (Canada). She has also been involved in the EU FP7 project Options for Delivering Ecosystem Based Marine Management (http://www.odemm.com/) between 2010-2013. This project focused on institional architectures for the implementation of Ecosystem Based Management in the four European Seas.
