2020 Lobby Day
NAMI Lobby Day 2020 Registration is open!
Join NAMI Washington members from across the state for our annual lobby day in Olympia and stay for a reception in the Governor's mansion! Please read through the day's schedule below for more information.
NAMI members and supporters are the most effective people to educate legislators about mental illness and the need to change our current "mental illness" system to a "mental health" system. Our lobby day will include a morning breakfast, an issues update and an advocacy skills training. Afterwards, we will send you off to your legislative appointments at the Capitol Campus. Please bring a sack lunch or lunch options are available for purchase on the Capitol campus.
Check out some of the issues below:
1. Protect and Increase Access to Quality Mental Health Services
An ideal state mental health system should be comprehensive, built on solid scientific evidence that is focused on wellness and recovery. It should be inclusive, reaching underserved areas and neglected communities, and fully integrated into the broader health care system. Research has shown that timely treatment produces better outcomes and quicker recovery for individuals with mental illness. Delays in treatment can increase the severity of mental illness and consequently the intensity and cost of the services being provided. Seamless care coordination can prevent suicides, homelessness, loss of job earnings, and incarceration.
2. Decriminalize Behavioral Health Conditions
In a mental health crisis, people are more likely to encounter police than get medical help. As a result, 2 million people with mental illness are booked into jails each year. Nearly 15% of men and 30% of women booked into jails have a serious mental health condition. Having a behavioral health condition is not a crime, it should be treated and viewed as what it is – a disease. People living with mental illness, chemical dependency, or both (a co-occurring disorder) do not belong in our criminal justice or corrections system – but in treatment and recovery programs.
3. Prioritize Prevention and Early Intervention
Mental illness affects young people at an alarming rate. One half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14 and 75 percent begin by age 24. What's even more astounding is that even after an onset of symptoms, the average young person does not get treatment until eight to 10 years later. Research shows that early identification and intervention leads to better outcomes, may lessen long-term disability, and reduce costs associated with crisis treatment services, as well as avoiding years of unnecessary suffering. Family members are a central resource in the treatment of children and adults living with serious mental illnesses and should be an integral part of the treatment team and empowered to facilitate mutually agreed upon treatment team goals. Research overwhelmingly shows that when families take an active part in treatment decisions, consumer outcomes are better.
4. Ensure the Financial Stability of a Quality Mental Health Care System
Washington State lacks the revenue to adequately fund its most basic services. This is because we have the most unfair and unstable revenue system in the nation. Lack of revenue combined with the recession has resulted in $12 billion in cuts and chronic underfunding for our important social service safety net programs.
2019 Behavioral Health Champions:

Digital Stories from Limerick,IE
A sandbox blog for students taking the Introduction to Digital Media module at the University of Limerick, Ireland
Limerick City Rehearsal Studios
Found in an old Franciscan Monastery on Henry Street, LCRS has been set up by musicians for musicians. The two available studios have been extremely well treated. With the dense dead sound, these rooms are perfectly suited for jamming sessions.
The larger of the room features a full size pa including tops, bins, amps and an SM58 vocal microphone. Guitar and bass amplifiers are provided if necessary. Also included in the rental of the room is a 4 piece Pearl Masters drum kit. Drummers must bring their own breakables such as drumsticks and cymbals.
Located upstairs is the bands chillout area where bands are free to take a break, sit down and relax during their long sessions in the rehearsal studios. With its dimly lit lights and the amazing artwork on the wall, I felt this room is an excellent facility to talk comfortably with your bandmates and reflect on your work.
Rates are very resonable in this amazingly kitted facility.
Rates start at 8euro an hour with a minimum of two hours rehearsal time required. If you book for five hours or more the session will cost 35 euro.
Amps are available upon request at 5euro a unit but you must bring your own guitars.
I would strongly encourage any band to test out this amazing facility. Its almost a guarantee that you will not find better quality for the money.
Currently I have not been able to find a website for LCRS, but I have been able to find the contact details for bookings.

The belltable
Two weeks ago i received a phone call from my parents saying they would be visiting me in limerick. i was dreading it. my parents are quite bohemian in their ways and i wasn't looking forward to them meeting my more conventional housemates. luckily when they arrived they didn't enter the house as they had booked tickets for something in the city. knowing them i was in for some sort of arty ... theatre .. exihition type thing so i wasn't too excited. fortunately it ended up to be a foreigne film with subtitles. slightly better!
we arrived on o'connels st. at the beautifully designed doors of the Belltable theatre. the doors contrasted bright red doors & stained glass with classical arches and collumbs.
The reception of the Belltable is far from boring with quirky photography on the walls. There is also tea and coffee while you wait for the showing (Unfortunatley only instant coffee).
We were seated in a 100 person cinema , and instead of the usual advertisments we were greeted by a member of staff introducing the film, i found this a breath of fresh air compared to the usual cineplexes. The film they were showing that evening was ''Incendies'' a staggeringly powerful film, which i would highly recomend. maybe not for those looking for a conventional feel good film.
I left the Belltable being totally blown away by the film. also very satisfied with the atmosphere of the theatre.

The Magic Shop Limerick|Halloween Costumes & Fancy Dress Ireland
"The Magic Shop": situated on Cecil Street opposite Fla's pub. A small but creative shop on the corner. Owned by Pat Clany and his wife Ann with the help of their son Brian.
magicshoplimerick.com/
Why I choose "The Magic Shop"
As we are approaching halloween we start to notice change about the place. The decorations of plastic skeletons in shop windows and pumpkins with strange looking carved out faces on the pillars of peoples homes lets us know whats in store for us. Magic has always been associated with this time of year and what better place to get your supplies than your very own magic store. Costumes of witches and wizards, characters from films, swords and wands, masks and fake blood. All you need is here in this shop.
As I wandered into the shop I was greeted by a nice young man named Brian. He was able to inform me of their Facebook page and the website that he set up for his parents to help advertise the shop. Following this I met his father Pat and His mother Ann, both lovely people and very helpful. Pat explained that the shop had been open for thirty four years but they recently had to move. The shop was previously situated on Mallow street for thirty two years, but when the landlord died there was an inspection and the premises was deemed unsafe to let out a shop. They have been in Cecil street for the past two years and Pat has no problem what so ever with it. He said "It's great to be on a side street so close to the main one (O'Connell street)". When I asked him a few questions about the his work he told me that they normally open form 10:30am - 5.30pm, Monday to Friday Outside halloween. However, from the 21st to the 31st of October he opens from 9:00am - 6:00pm due to the numbers of people in demand for costumes and decorations. y

Moody Cow Milkshakes
On my first week in college my roommates and I went into the city for a look around. We got off the bus on Roches street, and as we were walking down it we passed Moody Cow. We went in and saw shelves of chocolate bars and sweets on the wall behind the counter and realised what the place was. You could buy a milkshake with whatever bar or sweet you wanted blended into it! I'd never seen anything like it. I bought a "Munchies" chocolate one and it was amazing.
When we got home we got a sheet of paper and put what we bought down on it. Since then, whenever we go into town we buy one each, different to any that any of us have had before and write it down on the list.
There are now more than 40 things on the list and counting.
My favourite choice so far has been either blue Softmints or a Stinger bar. Also, in the shop they have leather seats to sit at while you are waiting for your milkshake and a constant stream of funny video clips running on a tv in the top left-hand corner of the shop. I think that this is an excellent idea as it gives you something to do while you are waiting and especially if there is a large queue in the shop, which there often is, due to it's increasing popularity.
The shop is very noticeable with it's bright purple canopy and green writing. It is very inviting and I would encourage everyone to pay a visit if you haven't already.

Medicare Pharmacy
The place that I have chosen for my assignment is medicare pharmacy in Castletroy. When I was first given the assignment I looked up limerick.ie which gave me a list of the top 50 things to do in limerick. Originally I had chosen King John's Castle .
However unfortunately I came down with an illness the Sunday before I did my assignment. On the Monday I went to the medical centre in the University of Limerick. The doctor wrote me a prescription for multiple antibiotics. Immediately after this I went to the pharmacy in the university which unfortunately does not stock the antibiotics I needed. So I went back to my house in Plassey Village and asked my housemates if they knew where there was a pharmacy close by. As we are all new to limerick city none of us knew where there was one. So I went to http://www.google.com/ and typed in pharmacy limerick into Google Maps. A good few results came up so I had a look at the ones located close to the college.
I saw that there was a medicare pharmacy that seemed to be very close to my house. Using the phone number I found on the medicare website I rang them up to check if they had the antibiotics in stock. I was in luck the woman on the phone told me that if I had a prescription they would be able to give me the antibiotics on the spot. I then went into Google street view and used that to virtually walk from the pharmacy back to my house in Plassey Village. Which as it turned out was only a 5 minute walk around the corner.
The reason I chose the medicare pharmacy for my assignment is because I thought it was very relevant to what we were asked to do. Being completely new to limerick city I was faced with the task of finding a pharmacy with the antibiotics i needed in stock. I used the virtual world to get all the relevant information, and then used that information to get to the pharmacy in the real world.

King John's Castle is situated in King's Island on the outskirts of Limerick City beside the River Shannon.
I chose to base my assignment on this castle because it's one of the most popular tourist spot in Limerick City and I had previously visited it on a school tour a few years ago so I already had a basic knowledge of the place.
It was built in 1200 and most of the castle still remains today, including the towers, walls and fortifications. The viking, Thormodr Helgason constructed the first viking castle in Inis in 922. Year 937 the Limerick Vikings fought with the Dublin vikings and they lost. Year 943 they lost again when the chief of the Dalcassian clan and king of munster and the Limerick Vikings had no choice but to pay tribute to the clans. The power of the Vikings was never reestablished.
When the Anglo-Normans arrived to the area in 1172, it changed everything. Domhnall Mór Ó Briain set fire to the city in 1174 to keep it safe from intruders. When he died in 1194, the Anglo-Normans took over the city in controlled by John, Lord of Ireland. The castle, built from the request of King John, was finished in around the years of 1200.
In the Siege of Limerick 1642, the castle was burnt badly. The people inside surrendered in time, and dodged the walss collapsing. Much damage has been created to the walls.
The following is pictures of myself at this Castle.

St. John's Cathedral
I first discovered st. John's cathedral through the UL Choral society. It was announced on
I have always had a keen interest in the history of Ireland and have visited many castle's around the country in the last few years but had not yet been to one in County Limerick. When I first heard about King John's Castle on a website my friend found http://www.limericktourist.com/details/king_johns_castle.shtml i was very interested as it was a beautiful 13th century Castle on King's Island in the heart of medieval Limerick City and was easily accessed from the city centre. I decided during a week in september to stay down one weekend in college with my friend Steph to explore the castle. We set off from the university at 11a.m on the Saturday morning and arrived at King John's Castle at about 11.35a.m. It was a lovely sunny day which made the experience even more enjoyable. Admission to enter the castle was six euro and 65 cent for student's.
The Castle overlooks the majestic River Shannon offering wonderful views of Limerick City. King John's Castle is divided into four areas. The first offers an informational, if not high quality, slide show of the history of the castle. The second area outlines the battles of the castle, including the Siege of Limerick in 1691. The third area is the castle courtyard showing the trades and traditions of the 16th century, including an interesting demonstration of coin making given by a real man in a period costume. The fourth area is the archaeological site, which exposes the earlier pre-Norman levels. I particularly enjoyed the visit to King John's castle as it was a self-guided tour. We were allowed to stroll around the castle at our ease and take in the beautiful scenery which was seen at the top of the castle. It is a relatively small castle but nevertheless, it was entertaining. There was a cool little movie about the castle and a talking King John statuette.
You can experience 800 years of history brought to life through song and music. The Music Of King John's Castle can be ordered online at the following website - http://www.steamboatmusic.net/index.php/vmchk/Five-Line-Music-Albums-/The-Music-of-King-John-s-Castle/Detailed-product-flyer.html for fourteen euro and four cent. It includes many old irish songs and is very easy to listen to. I would really recommend this C.D to anyone who has an interest for irish music.

The Gaelic Grounds
The Gaelic Grounds or Pairc na nGael is the home and main stadium of Limerick city GAA. The creation of this impressive stadium began on the 9th October, 1926 when the site where the construction would begin was purchased. Two years later the stadium officially opened with two junior hurling games and today it can hold up to fifty thousand fans at any time.
Raising Money & Upkeep:
Over the years the GAA have has had to raise large quantities of money for the maintenance and improvement of the stadium. In 1932 the first large scale fundraising began with the creation of a development committee whose remit was to level the pitch, providing sideline seating and build a boundary wall. Over the years several committee's have raised funds on several different occasions to turn the stadium into the impressive construct it is today and to make it capable of dealing with the extra necessities of both the hurlers and the fans.
As a huge hurling fan I automatically loved the Gaelic grounds for many reasons, the facilities, the teams, the experience and of coarse the atmosphere. Some of my happiest memories are of going to see matches being played and what better place to be then surrounded by thousands of other screaming fans to create real excitement. I will as long as I live never forget the many thrilling games I've watched there between teams of all ages and position. It is truly one of the most magnificent locations to visit in Limerick.

Colbert Station
Colbert Station is located on Parnell Street, in the city centre. The site serves as the city's transport hub, facilitating the regional and intercity train and bus termini of Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann.
The station was designed by Sancton Wood and built in 1849 during the famine. It was renamed to Colbert Station in 1966 in honour of Cornelius "Conn" Colbert, an Irish rebel from Limerick who fought in the 1916 Easter Rising .
Today, the station is bustling. However evidence of purposeful modernisation is nowhere to be found. The legacy design, historic as it may be, along with the subsequent (apparently) ad-hoc repurposing of indoor and outdoor space amounts to a dysfunctional and aesthetically nauseating visitor experience. One glance at the décor, a higgledy-piggledy pastiche of 19th century engineering and what I'm guessing is turn-of-the-century to 1980s Irish interior design could very well be the deciding factor in a brave passenger's failure to subdue what was, up-until-then, an heroically postponed vomit.
Readers who visit the Wikipedia page will be surprised to learn that the beautiful Westlife once descended on Colbert's platforms 1 & 2 to shoot part of the video to the admittedly brilliant pop ballad, My Love. Although I recommend viewing the whole thing so as not to miss the finely acted intro, skip to 01:35 to see the relevant shots (WARNING: Close-ups of Brian McFadden).
While I frequent the station regularly on the commute from Ennis I have nothing of significance to report so far. I have however observed that, of late, my relationship with the attractive ticket office woman whom I hurry past vacantly with stone-faced determination every morning is not progressing as hoped.

Is this a member of Westlife searching for his dignity? ... No.

Bullman's Tattoo Studio.
Front of the shop.
If like me you are a tattoo/piercing enthusiast such as myself then I recommend you check out Bullman's Tattoo Studio. I found out about this little gem on my first visit to Limerick City ever.
It is situated underneath The Zip Yard at 15 Thomas Street which made it kind of hard to find. Danny Bullman , the bossman of this studio, has been tattooing for 11 years and has won an abundance of awards for his artistry and I think this is a clear indication that he is quite good at what he does for a living. Another indication that he's a top notch tattoo artist is the fact that the notorious punk rockers MISFITS band memebers have been tattooed by Danny personally. Danny Bullman takes pride in what he does and so has a strict age restriction in place. Unless you have a believeable fake ID, like my friends did the day we visited, you will not recieve any form of body modification, piercing or tattoo. A strict hygiene policy is also in place, each neede that is used is opened in front of the customer as proof that they are sterilised and clean.
Orla having her tattoo done.
Bullman's isn't too pricey either with a base price of 25euro you can't go wrong. There's a wide range of tattoo portfolios for you to choose from and if there isn't a design that tickles your fancy, the artists can come up with a custom design for you. If you're interested in getting some work done check out the Gallery.
Sean Bullman is in charge of piercing. Anywhere you want pierced, Sean can do it.
The guys in the studio are so laidback and down to earth and will answer any questions or queries you may have about tattoos or peircings. It's a quality place to go if you're looking to be inked.
Danny also has a Bebo page which is a little more up to date than the website.

The Stables Club
I decided to write about The Stables Club as although i visit it on a regular daily basis now, i first stumbled upon it on the web while looking through different links of services offered by the University of Limerick before attending the University myself. I was greatly interested in the description of The Stables Club as said on it's web page and will ellaborate as follows.
The club has been open for a strong 21 years and has provided great services to students and staff alike in The University Of Limerick such as it's great daily food, musical events and of course, the great pint too. It offers great service with a hugely friendly staff, allowing people to relax and enjoy their time there in a fun and comfortable atmosphere.
Over the club's existance since 1987, it has become the focal point of campus life at The University Of Limerick. This is certainly easy to see from my point of view. Because of the events in which are held at the venue, student interest and interaction is greatly attracted. for example, every monday night an open mic night is held where anyone can get on stage, play guitar and sing a song or two, or just sing and get a free pint for their performance. I find this particulary good as i never really had that kind of thing at home in the south-east in my local bars or music venues where i could just go up and play a few songs. Aswell as this, there is a Battle Of The Bands night held once every semester which causes great ineterest and attention from students and staff in the University to see their own home-grown bands perform. It also holds a more light hearted and fun Kareoke Night every Wednesday night where anyone also looking for a free pint and perhaps lacking a bit of shame, might get up and belt out a bit of Tina Turner. I've seen it done, alot!
Aswell as holding such music events for students to participate in, The Stables Club also holds many famous musical performances. This is what really got me interested in the club at first, in my first few weeks of college i got to see one of my favourite bands on stage in the club, Bipolar Empire. I even got to meet the lads out of the band afterwards, you don't really get to do that kind of thing at every music venue. Aswell as this, they have played host to acts such as The Coronas, Fight Like Apes, The Minutes, and many, many more.
All in all, i felt The Stables Club would be a suitable topic of interest to write about. It really has something for everyone. The music, the craic, the food and the atmosphere.
It was through my membership in the UL Choral Society that I first discovered this magnificent cathedral. It was announced on the society's facebook page that we would be performing as part of the national choral singing week(and yes I was also surprised that such a thing does exist!). I was of course very nervous about the concert, not only was it my first performance as part of the group but also but my very first public singing performance!
We arrived at seven in the evening. The place was half full. Crowds of people were moving about, taking their seats. As we entered I was shocked by the sheer size of the place. As a non religious person I don't often visit churches or cathedrals so I was taken aback by the beauty and magnitude of the building. We took our assigned seats and waited for the show to begin. When our turn to sing came around we blasted out our powerful rendition of Weeping by Bright Blueand Adele's Rolling in The Deep. The audience loved it! The size of the place created a lovely atmosphere that perfectly complemented the finale of Hallelujah.
When we were given this assignment I knew I had to go back. I discovered that the cathedral boasts the tallest church spire in all of Ireland, standing at 314 feet!
I also discovered that the building is quite old. It was built in 1861 by the architect Philip Charles Hardwick, and has been in continuous use since then, which is a testament to the devout catholics of the area.

Just outside, on the cathedral grounds, stands a statue of Patrick Sarsfield.

Living Bridge
I have never been off UL campus unless I am going out for the night with my friends but a place that always interested me and many others is the "Living Bridge" or in Irish - "An Droichead Beo".
The Living Bridge was probably the first reason I ever heard of The University of Limerick. Open in November 2007 and officially opened by President Mary McAleese 21st January 2008 It is The longest pedestrian bridge in Ireland with the intention of being designed to create an organic relationship with the environment with in my opinion is captured perfectly such in a delicate balance. The bridge is designed to perfection. What I mean by this is it does not overly stand out instead it laces The Shannon in a bracelet of silver, adding to its beauty.
For research I used the standard search engine Google.
According to http://www.ulf.ie/projects/the-pedestrian-living-bridge/ the platforms are designed to accommodate social gatherings, informal teaching sessions, music and dance performances, as well as a wide array of educational, social and cultural activities – all contributing to this facility's status as a "living" bridge".
Though my research into the bridge itself I found out that it was uniquely designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects and constructed by Eiffel (yes, that Eiffel).
It is the longest pedestrian bridge in Ireland with the intention of being designed to create an organic relationship with the environment. In my opinion it is captured perfectly such in a delicate balance. The bridge is designed to perfection. What I mean by this is it does not overly stand out instead it laces The Shannon in a bracelet of silver, adding to its beauty. Plus there is almost a Celtic feel to the bridge though the design of the lightweight steel's curves and the purple and green lights which shine off it at night time. The bridge is almost like camouflage allowing pedestrians to really appreciate the beauty of nature around them.
I got a lot of my pictures from the site http://bocktherobber.com and the originals can be found here: http://bocktherobber.com/2007/11/the-university-of-limericks-living-bridge
Being intrigued by this I wanted to venture future into the commercial aspect of the bridge. www.lmkeating.ie let me see a clear synopsis of the bridge in money terms and other interesting facts such as; it being valued at 12m, the programme ran over 18 months and the bridge was re-located at the site of the original bridge.
(Original table:)
So now that I had some background on the bridge I decided to go and use the bridge for the first time. I could see straight away why they called it the living bridge; you could really feel the deck beneath your feet moving up and down, as though it's alive. I took a few pictures of myself and my friends and we enjoyed the scenery on the walk back to Killmurry.
When I came home from lectures I went back onto Google to research further into the "Living Bridge" and I came across pictures of the bridge being built in a miraculous 5 days. http://www.wilkinsoneyre.com/projects/university-of-limerick-living-bridge.aspx?category=bridges
UL also played their part in keeping everyone up to date by posting on their website about the opening:
"President Mary McAleese will be on campus tomorrow to officially open the Living Bridge. As a consequence of this the Living Bridge will be closed from 9:30 to 12:30. All students are invited to attend this memorable occasion." (http://www.ulsu.ie/news/living-bridge)

The Lodge Nightclub.
Assignment 2: Internet Resources connected to Limerick.
The Lodge Nightclub in Limerick City uses the internet as a resource on regular occasions. It is often seen to promote drink offers and special nights out on the social website Facebook and also uses Twitter where it has 148 followers. On their Twitter account they announced that they are launching a new website which will further engage them with using the internet as a resource.
On Thursday 27th of March the local newspaper entitled the Limerick Leader published an article about the numerous assaults which were occurring in the Lodge nightclub. A judge warned the licensee of the nightclub at the Kilmurry Lodge Hotel that if the recent ongoing problems at the premises—which saw five serious assaults occur there in the previous 3 months—were not resolved, it would be shut down. This was not good publicity for the nightclub which claimed to be the best one of its kind in the city of Limerick. The news got worse for the popular dance spot when it emerged that between December 20th 2007 and March 18th 2008, five serious assaults took place resulting in many young people being seriously injured, and that 2 of these victims were underage patrons. "In the overall context since mid 2007 the Henry Street Garda Station District has dealt with 17 assaults causing bodily harm and five of them have been in the Kilmurry Lodge. Henry Street covers the city centre and areas as far Castleconnell," said Inspector John Kerin who was investigating the incidents. Pat Hoare, who is the licensee of the nightclub admitted that it was very difficult to keep track of the amount of underage drinkers going through the doors, seeing as the Lodge sees on average, around 50,000 people go through their doors on an annual basis. "Our night club is the one in Limerick that caters to the 18-23 years olds. Our customers are not sitting down with handbags and suits—they are a bit more lively than that," he said. These events were not good publicity for The Lodge Nightclub.

The Belltable Arts Theatre
For my assignment, I decided to write about the Belltable Theatre, as it is quite well known in Limerick city, and I knew I would be attending it within the timeframe of the assignment.
On the eve of the 27th of October, myself and two of my friends went to a show in this theatre. I have been playing guitar for 6 years now, and have switched teacher several times. However for 2 years I have stuck with my current teacher, Johnny, as he is a very talented man and had a very successful band in the 60's, known as "Granny's Intentions." My friend Alex was the person who originally introduced me to Johnny, as he also attended lessons with him, and nevertheless we were very excited to hear that in October, Granny's would be doing a reunion gig in their home of Limerick for the first time in over 40 years. Our friend Aaron who is also a very gifted musician accompanied us, as he knows Johnny through the Limerick School of Music.
The Belltable recently refurbished their theatre hall, to accommodate a larger audience in greater comfort. This was my first time seeing the refurbishment as it has been many years since I was previously in the theatre. The result was that the theatre is now at a slanting angle, with everyone seated above the stage, although there really is no stage. This meant that it was quite difficult indeed to capture a successful clear photograph of the band, especially due to the exceedingly tall man seated directly in front of me. My best attempt shall be posted below momentarily.
Interestingly, Aaron, Alex and myself were by far the youngest members of the audience, with Johnny's daughter being the only exception. A man beside us joked, "Thanks for coming in and sitting down lads, you brought the average age down to about 63," to which I replied, "Don't be ambitious my dear man, I would've said 64." The band were exceptional, as all of the remaining original members have made a career out of music, either as teachers or songwriters. If you didn't know it was the first time these people had performed together in roughly 40 years, you would have imagined they had been playing professionally ever since the 60's.
The man in white is Mr. Johnny Hockady himself! Overall, the performance was highly enjoyable, and we went for a few drink with the band afterwards, (a few too many at that), before calling it a night.
The Belltable is a fantastic theatre which hosts shows of all varieties, from musical to drama's and every member of the audience leaves feeling their money was well spent. I would highly encourage anyone looking for a different sort of entertainment to go and enjoy a show at the Belltable.
Their listings can be found at their website, which is located at Belltable Website.

King John's Castle (11142219)
I was on the bus home from college last week and as the bus was passing through the city I was keeping a look out for interesting buildings which I could have wrote about for this assignment. When passing over the Thomond Bridge I noticed a very big, old castle alongside it. I took the bus back up to limerick on Sunday evening and visited the college library the next morning to see if I could find the castle I saw. So I searched "castles in limerick city" on Google and was very surprised to see about 10 million results to my search. Luckily, the castle I was looking for showed up first on the first page of results. http://www.shannonheritage.com/Attractions/KingJohnsCastle/. The castle is called King John's Castle and it was clear from the different websites that it has quite a lot of history to it.
The next day me and my housemate went into the city to visit the castle. When we got there, there was quite a lot of people outside the grounds of the castle taking pictures and after standing around them for just a few minutes we could tell they were tourists because of their accents. After witnessing all this it was clear that King John's Castle is quite a popular tourist location but after seeing the castle first hand and after getting a more in-depth knowledge of the castles history from a trip to the visitor's centre it was no surprise.
The staff of the visitor's centre were happy to help anyone out, and offered tours of the castle however I felt I picked up enough information from the posters on the walls and leaflets lying around. The first permanent stronghold built on the same grounds of what is now known as King John's castle was in fact built by Limerick Vikings, who were lead by Thormodr Helgasen the Viking Sea-King, in the late 10th Century. They used the stronghold as a base to raid the length of the river Shannon but were defeated a number of times and eventually had to pay tribute to the King of Munster.
In 1174 the city was then burned to the ground due to the arrival of the Anglo-Normans and soon after they took control of the whole area. Under the orders of King John in 1200 a new castle was built over the ruins of the first one. Today the 800 year old castle still stands strong despite the numerous amounts of seiges and attacks it came under.

For my assignment I chose to study Thomond Park rugby pitch. This famous ground is located in the centre of Limerick city and has been home to the munster rugby team for over sixty years. The venue is renowned worldwide for its unique atmosphere and passionate local supporters. It has played host to historic matches such as Munster vs New Zealand (1978, 2008), Ireland vs Barbarians (2010). Along with rugby matches it has also hosted the special olympics opening ceremony and concerts by Pink, Elton John, and Bob Dylan.
Trip to Thomond Park:
As an avid Munster rugby fan I have already visited Thomond Park on numerous occasions. My most enjoyable expierence of Thomond park was when i went to Munster vs All Blacks in 2008. 26,000 people filled the stadium in what was to be a memorable night for all involved. Munster produced a great performance but lost out in the end by 2 points. New Zealand wing Joe Rokocoko scored a try in the dying moments to clinch the game for the All Blacks. I was impressed by the sheer size of the stadium, which combined with the complicated-looking structural supports create a magnificent arena. The day before the match my father and I went on a tour of the stadium. We got to visit the museum where we watched a short film and looked at famous Munster memorabilia. Afterwards we visited the home and away dressing rooms, Munster dugouts and were treated to pitchside views of the playing pitch.
Each year thousands of people visit the historic ground for a variety of reasons. The majority choose to go to see the home of Munster rugby, however Thomond Park has also hosted a wide range of exibitions, seminars, gala dinners, fashion shows and even weddings! There is also a top class standard of catering provided by is on-site partners 'Masterchefs Munster'.

Limerick Greyhound Stadium
Limerick Greyhound Stadium was newly opened on the 8th October 2010. it is located in Greenpark, Dock Road Limerick city .It is modeled on the Cork Greyhound Stadium.There is an attached three story headquarters building for the IGB (Irish Greyhound Board).I found out about the stadium by looking at www.tripadvisor.ie .There are many positive reviews from tourists from outside of Ireland.The new Limerick Greyhound Stadium also has its own Facebook page where news about upcoming events is regularly updated.the page informs about special offers and special events also.Regular opening hours are from 6:30pm - 11:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays but sometimes the stadium is open during the week for special events like charity fundraisers.When i went to visit the stadium it was closed but i did get a good look at the place.
I went to visit the stadium and was very impressed.From the outside the building is very stylish.It is a 5 story building.There is a 190 seat restaurant and dining areas inside,gallery bars,private hospitality suites and also tiered viewing areas.The stadium can hold over 200 people.There is lots of parking spaces, and a large kennel block .It is a very nice facility and a cutting edge sports building.
The stadium recently hosted the Kerry Agribusiness Irish St. Leger.It was the biggest event to take place in the limerick racing calender and is the second time that the race has taken place since the Limerick Greyhound Stadium's opening in October 2010.The event was a great success with a large turnout of people and a great night of greyhound racing was had by all. There is a great video of the Kerry Agribusiness Irish St. Leger Final 2011 posted on youtube by the IGB. Peter Muligan's dog What A Tornado was the dog that won the ledger at 2/1 in a time of 29.58 seconds.

Lyric FM - Culturing (1.6%) of the Masses
The building that I have chosen to write about for this blog is the Lyric FM building, located in Cornmarket Square. I chose this building as it represents a large part of the Irish classical music culture. I visited Cornmarket Street last week, after firstly finding out about Lyric FM being situated in Limerick on the internet. The information that I have gathered for this blog comes from a combination of information received from the secretary working on the ground-floor of the building and various internet sources, such as Wikipedia, the Lyric FM website, etc.
Lyric FM as we know it was established on the first of May 1999, and at the time was only available on the FM band in Ireland, at 96.7-99.6 MHz. It developed from the radio-station 'FM3 Classical Music', which first started broadcasting in November of 1984. This was a radio-station that was considered to be largely under-pushed and unadvertised. They broadcast through RTÉ Radió ná Gaeltachta initially, at various times during the day. It was not a very popular radio segment and received very low ratings. It was perhaps best known, and received its peak ratings for its practice of simulcasting. Simulcasting is when something is concurrently transmitted on different mediums. Before it was technically possible to transmit stereo sound via television sound transmission, some larger media companies such as the BBC and RTÉ used to simultaneously transmit the sound of a movie or concert they might be showing over one of their radio-stations. FM3 Classical Music's time slots were used occasionally for broadcasting stereo sound for RTÉ.
In 1999, RTÉ invested in a new transmitter, meaning that it could broadcast more separate stations. The decision was made to make FM3 Classical Music into a separate entity from Radió ná Gaeltachta, and also to rebrand it as 'Lyric FM'. Due to the decentralisation act, and since RTÉ is a semi-state owned company, they decided to move Lyric FM from FM3's location in Dublin to a more modern setup in Limerick. Once the station had moved to Limerick, they started adopting more modern and up to date technologies – such as satellite radio (Lyric FM is now available in England via satellite) and internet radio.
Current presenters on Lyric FM include some of Ireland's best known personalities, such as Marty Whelan and Gay Byrne. They also works in partnership with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra and the RTÉ Philharmonic Choir, which both helped celebrate Lyric FM's tenth year with a special concert organised in their honour.
Marty Whelan cutting the cake for Lyric FM's 10th anniversary.

La necrosis caseosa es la destrucción o muerte coagulativa y colicuativa de las células, en la que los tejidos destruidos se transforman en una masa amorfa, granular y friable, de consistencia y aspecto semejantes al requesón, envuelta por una superficie inflamatoria (reacción granulomatosa). La masa es blanquecino-amarillenta y por su aspecto se denomina cáseum.

Etiología
Es característica de ciertas infecciones, como la tuberculosis o la histoplasmosis. Aunque también la pueden originar la sífilis, ciertos hongos como la criptococosis y la coccidioidomicosis.

Tratamiento
La actuación es doble, por un lado hay que eliminar quirúrgicamente todo el tejido necrosado, y además es preciso administrar fármacos antibióticos o antifúngicos (en función del germen causante) y antiinflamatorios.

This cave diving game is quite simple to play, but does require a degree of concentration and skill or your cave diving dude will come to a watery end.
Use your left hand mouse button to make the cave diver swim and in ding so lift him up, but be careful, for if he or she (who knows?) hits any part of the inside of the cave, his her (who cares?) wetsuit will rip and the game will be over.
See how far you can go diving into the cave before you're lost forever! After you play this cave diving game why not check out and play our other free sports and diving games?

China, US and Russia urged to save Afghanistan from looming economic crisis
December 23, 2021 by meziesblog.com, posted in News
Islamic countries have met to discuss how to help Afghanistan avert economic collapse, which they stressed would have a "horrendous" global impact.
The statement was issued after an urgent meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Islamabad, Pakistan, which ended with a promise to establish a fund to provide humanitarian aid through the Islamic Development Bank.
Tom West, U.S. special representative for Afghanistan, also attended the summit.
In a press conference at the end of the gathering, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi announced what he claimed was good news from the U.S., stating that West met with the Taliban delegation, led by the interim foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, on the summit's sidelines.
Qureshi noted West said he was mandated to "engage" with the Taliban, that U.S. humanitarian aid to Afghanistan would not carry preconditions, and some $1.2 billion might be made available through the World Bank, which could be released to Afghanistan.
The U.S. did not immediately comment on Qureshi's statements.
The summit brought together dozens of foreign ministers, as well as special representatives for Afghanistan from major powers, including China, the U.S. and Russia.
At the start of the summit, several participating nations called for the immediate re-opening of Afghanistan's banking system and the provision of assistance.
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan urged Washington to drop preconditions for restoring Afghanistan's banking systems and releasing desperately needed funds.
He also urged the world to understand "cultural sensitivities" and said human rights and women's rights mean different things in different countries.
But other speakers, including OIC chairman Hussain Ibrahim Taha, stressed the need to protect human rights, particularly those of women and girls. "This gathering is about the Afghan people," he said.
Martin Griffiths, UN undersecretary for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, warned Afghanistan cannot survive on donations alone, stressing, "we need constructive engagement with the de facto authorities to clarify what we expect from each other."
"Universal poverty may reach 97 percent of the population of Afghanistan. That could be the next grim milestone," he said, adding that next year the UN will ask for $4.5 billion in aid for Afghanistan, its single largest humanitarian aid request.
In what appeared to be a message to the Taliban delegation, Qureshi and subsequent speakers, including Taha, affirmed the need to protect human rights, especially the rights of women and girls.
At the end of the summit, Qureshi said the OIC agreed to appoint a special representative for Afghanistan, while the 20 foreign ministers and 10 deputy foreign ministers in attendance agreed to establish a deeper partnership with the UN to help desperate Afghans.

Baca, R. G.; Arnett, R. C.; Langford, D. W.
One of the major difficulties of modelling fluid flow processes in hard‐rock geologies is the complex nature of the porosity systems. Hydraulic behaviour in these rock masses is characterized by both porous and fractured interflow zones. Traditionally, fractured‐porous rocks have been modelled as an equivalent porous medium or as a system of fractures separated by impermeable blocks. A new method is proposed that unifies these two approaches for modelling fluid flow processes in fractured‐porous media. The basic idea is to use a combination of isoparametric elements for the porous zones and line elements for the fractures. The coupling between the governing equations for each element type is achieved using the superposition principle. The effectiveness of the new approach is demonstrated by comparing numerical solutions with known solutions for problems of flow and solute transport in fractured‐porous media.
Diffusion in the rock matrix; an important factor in radionuclide retardation?

Over the years, St Peters Chess has undergone a renaissance, attracting players from the fashionable ranks of Cricket and Rugby, and collecting several premiership titles in the Associated Independent Colleges (AIC) Competition along the way.
Mr Gil Bygraves, Year 7 Coordinator at St Peters Indooroopilly, joined the Chess program as Coordinator six years ago. His sons, Joel (2014) and Riley (2016), who learned to play Chess in primary school and went on to become Chess Captain in their senior years, inspired Gil to get involved.
'As a parent of boys in particular, I like the fact that Chess helps improve their concentration and focus (most games at a junior level are 40 minutes in total) and provides a completely different avenue to achieve success away from the physical sports they also enjoy,' Gil said.
He quickly set about installing Nicholai (Nik) Stawski, a World Chess Federation (FIDE) Master, as Head Coach.
'When I became Coordinator, my first job was to source a coach who could teach the boys not only the fundamentals but also stretch the better players with more advanced strategies,' Gil explained.
Under Nik's tutelage, St Peters Chess teams have gone on to secure premiership titles in the AIC Competition. This year, the Intermediate A team claimed the title for the second year running and the Junior A team tied for first place in the non-aggregate competition.
Despite recent success, Gil is adamant that the benefits of Chess are greater than the scoreboard tally.
With the support of the Parents & Friends (P&F) Association and Community Liaison Officer, Nicky Hughes, St Peters launched the 'Rookies' Chess Club in 2016. Open to St Peters and non-St Peters students and parents alike, Rookies provides an avenue for Chess enthusiasts of all abilities to access Nik's expert coaching all year round and to create new friendships within the greater community.
With the 2017 competitive season now behind him, Gil looks forward to attracting familiar and fresh faces for next season. He encourages any interested boy of any ability to get involved.
'During my time, I have seen a wide range of boys come through the Chess program with widely differing academic and sporting abilities all compete on the level playing board,' Gil said.
For more information about Boys Chess, contact Shaun Nodwell, Director of Sport, in the first instance: s.nodwell@stpeters.qld.edu.au.
The Rookies Chess Club meets term-time on Thursday evenings from 6:00–8:00pm at the St Peters Indooroopilly P&F Centre. For more information, visit www.rookieschess.com.

Q: Perturbing x,y components in order to plot a graph? Sorry if this question seems odd. I have to use MATLAB for a project in class, and I have very little programming background. I'm trying to randomly perturb points in a graph so that I get a cleaner. My current graph looks like this:

I'm using the following code:
figure; hold on;

plot(XTest(yTest==1, 1), XTest(yTest==1, 2), '+');
plot(XTest(yTest==0, 1), XTest(yTest==0, 2), 'o');

slope = -w(1)/w(2);
intercept = gamm/ w(2);
refline(slope, intercept);
xlabel(sprintf('Feature %i', bestFeatures(1)));
ylabel(sprintf('Feature %i', bestFeatures(2)));
legend('Malignant test examples', 'Benign test examples');
title('Test set classification results');

XTest is a 28x30 matrix of values generated from a self-defined function, and YTest is a 28x1 matrix of either 1s or 0s.
I'd like to perturb each x and y component by a random variable drawn from a uniform distribution on [-.05, .05], but I have no idea how to do this. Help would be much appreciated!
Edit: I tried the following code:
% + plots
x1 =  (rand*0.1-0.05) * XTest(yTest==1, 1);
y1 = (rand*0.1-0.05) * XTest(yTest==1, 2);

% o plots
x2 = (rand*0.1-0.05) * XTest(yTest==0, 1);
y2 = (rand*0.1-0.05) * XTest(yTest==0, 2);

plot(x1, y1, '+');
plot(x2, y2, 'o');
slope = -w(1)/w(2);
intercept = gamm/ w(2);
refline(slope, intercept);
xlabel(sprintf('Feature %i', bestFeatures(1)));
ylabel(sprintf('Feature %i', bestFeatures(2)));
legend('Malignant test examples', 'Benign test examples');
title('Test set classification results');

But my graph ended up looking like:


2 Mordekai: This is no time to be thinking about meat and ale!
4 Lambert: Wait, is it real meat this time?
This refers back to Lambert's previous experience with tavern food.

Home / Sports / GSC Tournament awaits VSU
GSC Tournament awaits VSU
April 18, 2013 Sports, Spring 2013, Tennis, Top Headlines Leave a comment 4,074 Views
Written by Ray Pack Jr. & Ace Espenshied
The Valdosta State tennis team looks to carry its recent winning ways into the Gulf South Conference tournament this weekend.
The women's squad (11-7) enters the tourney as the second seed and will face West Georgia in the first round on Saturday.
The ladies did most of their damage in conference play, going 7-1.
One of those victories came against UWG when VSU won 9-0.
Head Coach John Hansen hopes his ladies, who have won seven of their last eight, are hitting their stride at just the right time.
"We really feel like we're playing our best tennis right now and that's all we can ask for," Hansen said. "It's a tournament. Everybody gets excited for a tournament so I don't have to say much."
It's been an odd journey leading up to now for the ladies, going 1-5 at home this season, but finished 10-2 on the road or at neutral sites.
Hopefully that trend will continue in Montgomery, Ala., over the weekend.
If the Lady Blazers take care of UWG, they will see the winner of North Alabama and Delta State, both of which the VSU women beat convincingly this season.
That leaves a lurking No. 9 West Florida in the championship match on Sunday. Hansen knows that these aren't the same women West Florida saw early in the season.
"If we can get to the finals we'll [probably] play West Florida, and West Florida is a wild group and I don't mean that in a bad way," Hansen said. "They are very emotional, but the key is to make sure we're playing the best we can play during that moment."
The men's team enters the tournament at 9-11 overall and 6-1 in the GSC.
Winning 9-0 against Christian Brothers earlier this season, the Blazers hope to take care of business and move on to the winner of West or North Alabama in the second round. The winner of the tourney will be catapulted into the NCAA South Regional for a shot at the NCAA Division II title.
"We are looking to win it," Mario Navarro, junior tennis player, said
Finishing the year off with a 9-1 record in the conference, the Blazers have earned the No.2 seed in the conference behind No.1 West Florida.
No.3 West Alabama follows No.4 Delta State, No.5 Alabama-Huntsville No.6 North Alabama and No.7 Christian Brothers.
If VSU beats CBU Saturday, they will advance to play the winner of West Alabama and North Alabama.
"It's nothing we can't handle, I would want to play North Alabama, but in a way I would play West Alabama for a tougher match" Andrew Harvin, freshman, said.
West Alabama poses as the only threat to the Blazers with their win over them coming only by one match they are sure to be on the Blazers radar.
"We don't want to waste too much energy Saturday we gotta be ready for the title game on Sunday," Navarro said.
The want for the rematch against West Florida is evident on the minds of the players.
The Argos ended the Blazers season last year.
"It will be redemption to play West Florida, another chance won't hurt. This can show how better we have gotten and it will be a nice warm-up leading into the NCAA Tournament," Harvin said.
The magic number to put the Blazers back in the NCAA tournament is three, but any loss over the weekend will subdue their chances of making the dance and their season will likely be over.

UBR - UFO Report 142: Ireland UFO Hitting Mainstream But Was It A Meteorite?

Michael Garrett, professor of Astrophysics at the University of Manchester, said while the pilots' reports should be taken seriously and investigated, there were "many other natural phenomena" that could explain the sightings, other than a UFO. The Virgin Airlines pilot mentioned a possible meteor and described "multiple objects following the same sort of trajectory". The object was described as travelling "at astronomical speed, Mach 2", or twice the speed of sound. Prof Garrett told WLRfm in Waterford that a meteorite breaking up, high in the earth's atmosphere "would also be travelling at speed and it would break into multiple components". Prof Garrett said usually air flight crews "are experienced and they typically are very good observers of what is out there, so I think one has to take this kind of thing seriously". On Friday, Astronomy Ireland posted it had "reports of a massive fireball" that morning, heading northwest to southeast at a small angle towards earth, greenish in colour with a long tail, travelling quite slow and broke into several pieces".

When it's OK to be 2nd equal...
Beautiful autumn weather, big spectator crowds and a home town hero winning the tattoo - the 6th annual Pig & Whistle New Zealand Singlespeed Championships on Saturday, April 27 were another big success.
A sold out field of 250 riders from all round New Zealand and Australia enjoyed a tough, challenging 11-kilometre course on Rotorua's magnificent Whakarewarewa Forest trail network.
Some rode the full three laps while others managed 1 or 2, then stopped in the beer short cut tent to enjoy refreshments while watching the action unfold at the front of the field.
Most of the extravagantly costumed riders were there for fun, but it was more serious at the sharp end. The men's field featured top cross-country racers like Mark 'Cabin' Leishman, Sam Shaw and Saul Webb.
It was the same story in the women's field.
Beijing Olympian and Commonwealth Games silver medalist Rosara Joseph, top downhiller Jenna Makgill and endurance mountain biker Erin Greene were racing in the National Singlespeeds for the first time. Australian, Heather Logie, who won the 2010 Singlespeed Women's Worlds Championships, also in Rotorua, was a last minute addition to the line-up.
2010 Singlespeed Men's World Champion, Garth Weinberg, is a Rotorua legend but had a shocker of a start. While the racers assembled out of sight, volunteers and spectators scrambled the bikes. Weinberg spent a frustrating 5 minutes finding his bike, with most of the field already heading out of the double-S start loop and into the forest.
He didn't throw in the towel, working his way past most of the other riders and into second place after the first lap. Weinberg also took the beer short cut option each lap. Instead of riding a longer loop in the race village, racers could scull a beer or eat a Weetabix.
"I felt pretty good after the first beer and got into a good pace," said Weinberg.
By race end, Weinberg had added to his 3 previous national titles, in front of a noisy and enthusiastic local crowd and to an emotional greeting from his wife, Rachel and their children.
Meanwhile, Dunedin's Erin Greene cleared out from her rivals in the women's race. Rotorua was a happy hunting ground for Greene. The weekend before she won the solo category at the Nduro 24 hours, topping the women's field and also riding more laps than the men. That was on a geared bike, but it was still a remarkable effort to back up a week later to win the singlespeed title.
One of the few rules of singlespeed competition is no ta moko (or tattoo), no title.
Weinberg and Greene were both inked by brilliant young, Rotorua artist, Tane Singh-Lagah, immediately after the race.
"All the rest of the riders were 2nd equal and did very well, including me" says Gaz Sullivan, President of the host club, the Rotorua Singlespeed Society. "Like all the events we run, there are hundreds of hilarious photos on our facebook page, though quite a few aren't really for family viewing."
The Society hosted the first two Singlespeed Nationals in 2008 and 2009, then the 2010 Singlespeed World Championships in 2010 with around 1000 entries from 30 countries.
They are already planning another big event at Anzac Weekend, 2015.
"There will be a strict limit on entry numbers, then, like this year," says Sullivan. "Everyone who entered this year will get 1st dibs on entry and we'll have more information on the facebook page, soon-ish."
While Greene and Weinberg took the tattoos, the other coveted award, Best Dressed, went to Whanganui's Wayne Gedye.
He rode all three laps and was one of the last riders to finish. There was a good reason for that. Gedye was dressed in a full scuba suit with dive tank and flippers.
As Gedye completed the 33 kilometres, Dunedin faced off against Auckland for the right to host the 2014 Championships. After five rounds on the kid's pump track at Mountain Bike Rotorua in front of a raucous crowd, Dunedin prevailed.
The Society's committee did all the work on the 2013 event in their own time.
"In lots of ways, this year's event was the best with a really relaxed atmosphere, beautiful ta moko and a great bunch of people organising and entering the race," adds Sullivan
The Society is New Zealand's smallest mountain bike club but makes a lot of noise for its size.
"We're a really experienced group and most were involved with the 2006 UCI Mountain Bike & Trials World Championships and 2010 Singlespeed Champs," says Paul Laing, one of the Society committee. "People like Dave Joy, Rawiri Bhana, Carolyn Scherger, Dr Kat Webb and Jono Cuff, along with great new blood, like course designers, Haedyn Borck and Damian Pootjes, the wonderful rego, beer tent, scrutineering and photo crews all did a great job, again, along with the race marshal team from BMX Rotorua."
The Society also has a loyal group of sponsors.
"Most of them have been with us since 2008 and we can't do it without them, especially Gregg Brown, Bevan Brake and the whole team at the Pig & Whistle," says Sullivan. "Because of their support and all the heavy lifting being done by the committee, we'll be making a substantial donation to the Cancer Society, soon."

Yesterday I had business at the SF Zoo so I stopped at Lake Merced Park to look for the Blackburnian Warbler found on the CBC (12/27/18) by Peter Pyle, and last observed in early February.
After spending some time sorting through Yellow-rumped Warblers in the willows and myoporums on the south side of the entrance road from Skyline Blvd. the BLACKBURNIAN Warbler was relocated alive and still wintering. As in previous visits the soft call note preceded laying eyes on the bird as it feeds very quietly and almost in the creeping manner of Black&White Warbler than the frequently sallying Yellow-rumps. A wad of feathers and tree gum has formed over the bird's bill as is typical of exotic nectar tree clients by this late into the winter but this time it was feeding in the budding Arroyo Willows.
If anyone has anyone significant sightings from December - Feb that didn't make it on to the list let me know offline as I am beginning to compile the winter report.

When I was in Pontarlier for the 2006 Absinthiades I had the pleasure of getting a bottle of the brand new (ok, it's been aged for six months prior to release...) L'Artisanale. Made by american Eric under the supervision of and in co-operation with Liqueurs de France at the Distillerie Les Fils d'Emile Pernot in Pontarlier, France. Made to be a traditional Pontarlier style absinthe and to be the first true high quality absinthe distilled again in Pontarlier after almost 100 years of nothing.
To tell the truth, they did quite well. The L'Artisanale is a very good quality absinthe with excellent herbal qualities and a wonderful floral yet spicy aroma. It's a greenish olive tint unlouched but turns to a nice opaque green after adding iced water.
There is a nice wormwood character to it with hints of Pontica and Fennel lingering and blending well with the anise. When adding water to it it blends nicely and lends a pleasant fragrance to enjoy while drinking. The one and only "negative" thing I have to say really isn't all that negative... I personally think the L'Artisanale give too little of a "surprise" but then again, it's a well carried out Pontarlier style absinthe and there is little surprise to expect from that. It tastes like absinthe. It's very well made though and I definitely like it.
If you want one you should probably hurry up and get one as soon as they start selling them (they have not yet been publicly released when this is written, in the end of October 2006) since there will only be about 170 or so bottles for sale and no one knows if it will ever be made again. Where to get it? Well, obviously from Liqueurs de France.

Instagram launches tags for sponsored posts
Instagram added a new feature to mark the paid posts with the "Sponsor of publication" label with the indication of the partner company. This information was reported by the service press.
In the coming weeks, the new label will begin to appear in advertisements and bloggers' "stories" all around the world. When you click on it, users will be able to go to their business partner account.
The content creator and its partner will have access to statistics for each publication when the label is used. This will help them understand how subscribers interact with similar materials.
Content creators will see this information in the Statistics section in Instagram, as well as their partners on their Facebook page.
Instagram authorities believe that the innovation will strengthen the atmosphere of trust inside the service.
To date, a new feature is only available for a small number of companies and content authors. In the coming months, developers are planning to launch it for a wide audience along with official rules and guidelines.
Google Drive will become a backup tool
Google plans to make a backup tool out of Google's cloud service. Soon it will be available to track and archive files inside any folder the user specifies. This can also be the contents of the entire hard disk or the Documents folder.
The backup function will be available from June 28 after the release of the new Backup and Sync application, which is the latest version of Google Drive for Mac / PC.
It is assumed that users will have the opportunity to open and edit files located in the cloud. It is still not clear whether they will be able to synchronize information between multiple PCs using Disk as an intermediary.
Since the auto update to Backup and Sync is not planned, the company recommends installing a new application immediately after being released.
The new feature is primarily targeted at corporate Google Drive users.
Google is speeding up the mobile pages in the ranking
Google is changing its approach to assessing the speed of page loading. In the near future, the ranking will take into account the speed of mobile pages and not desktop. This was reported by the Goole search representative Gary Illyes at the SMX Advanced 2017 conference.
As you know, at the moment Google measures only the loading speed of the desktop pages. These data are used both in desktop ranking and mobile.
However, mobile speed is more important for Google. Therefore, it was decided to make changes to the search algorithm. This approach is already under consideration.
Illyes also stressed upon the fact that Google will actively inform webmasters about any changes before launching the mobile-first index. So not to make a surprise for specialists.
Earlier it was reported that Google has not been planning to take into account the downloading speed for mobile pages in the ranking.
Publishers have found a way to beat Facebook's ranking algorithms
The AdAge Edition noted that publishers have found a way to beat Facebook's ranking algorithms. They began to attach short videos in MP4 format instead of pictures; since videos re usually given priority in the users' tapes.
New tactics are used by large publishers, such as BuzzFeed, and smaller ones, among them is ForShitsAndGiggles.
For example, the 48-second "video" published by BuzzFeed has received more than 1.4 million views in just a couple of weeks:
Other examples also include short videos that last only a few seconds.
The Facebook representative in the AdAge commentary says that the social network does not prioritize the video before other types of publications in the news line. But if the user usually interacts with the video, he will often see posts of this format in his tape:
"We are constantly improving the news line to show you the most relevant stories, and prevent attempts to deceive the system."
Nevertheless, Russ Torres, the USA Today Network vice president of video content and strategy believes that in fact Facebook promotes the video in line.
BuzzFeed and ForShitsAndGiggles have not yet commented on this aspect.

Funny the heart of Duchamp's output which shows in
Funny art comes so full with sudden surrealism, intense ironies, satirical parodies and deadpan expressions of tragedies or grief that we don't know if it is even okay to laugh at it. This is why humour in art is useful It can undermine a situation and, in a brief moment, draw the viewer in or allow something new out.
Matthew Collings documentary called 'Hollow Laughter' (1999) as part of series called 'This is Modern Art', it is an examination on the jokes used in modern art. He discusses, Marcel Duchamp and his No skill needed jokes, Sean Landers dumb jokes and Richard Prince's paintings appropriating the common joke as artwork.
Marcel Duchamp, 'Fountain' (1917), Ceramic, glazed ceramic.
Marcel Duchamp's art jokes are not all that funny, but to him they are. Duchamp said the first thing his art was about was that it should amuse him. The one that started it all was the 'Fountain' an ordinary urinal bought in a shop and signed 'R.Mutt', sent to a big exhibition in York in 1917, rejected, thrown away, then the next day raised from the ashes and now preserved in the minds of those still puzzled by its existence. Irony is at the heart of Duchamp's output which shows in his series of ready-mades that be just bought from factories or shops, then called them art. The ready-mades weren't from an art world but from an industrial world, the world of mass production. Which was just a joke at first then became a series of works that greatly impacted a change in 20th-century art.
Duchamp's outlook on art was that anything could be art as-long as the artist said it was, he first thought this in 1913 which was the birth of Avant-Gardism;
"Avant-Gardism became a name in itself something to be pursued not alongside quality but absolutely instead of quality most of us kind of think art is quality, it's the next step up, the highest that quality can get but with Duchamp quality suddenly has a whole new meaning, one that is infinitely movable." – Matthew Collings, Hollow Laughter (1999).
A lot of modern art jokes are about the loss of quality in modern art. It was a protest against quality in artwork, the rich want elegant looking artwork with an aesthetic, something that shows obvious skill, Duchamp wanted to go against this whole idea. Duchamp's message was that art was congested in a certain way, in a painting and sculpture way and he wanted to decongest it, so it could be not just painting in sculpture but anything it needed to be.

(CNN) When it comes to geopolitical theater, no one can accuse the North Korean leadership of lacking a certain sense of timing. Kim Jong Un may have taken the best part of the last two weeks out of the public eye, but he's made some comeback.
American experts have said the missile test represents a major step forward as it is probably capable of hitting Alaska, if not the continental United States.
Jeffrey Lewis of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey had previously noted a clear pattern of acceleration of North Korean tests and the progression of its missile capabilities that led to this logical point.
In short, the North Koreans are sticking to a plan. They are confident in their progress, seem undeterred by years of sanctions and are on the verge of clearing another hurdle in their quest of building their own nuclear deterrent. North Korea's newest armaments by no means obviate America's own immense investments in nuclear weaponry and anti-missile technology, but Pyongyang's programs seem unlikely to be reversed.
China's press coverage of this latest launch was typical of the ambivalence that characterizes its attitude to North Korea. There was little sense of panic, with Chinese experts expressing doubts on the reliability of North Korean missiles.
Yang Chengjun, a retired researcher with the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force, said that the North Koreans had not yet achieved a real "intercontinental" test and that they had yet to master a number of technical hurdles.
Given the utter bizarreness of his recent Twitter activity, one might imagine President Donald Trump's public response to the North Korean provocation would be to threaten to body-slam Kim or to blare out his intention to send more naval convoys to the region. Instead, Trump was relatively restrained, name-checking two US allies in the region and then expressing his hope that China, not the US military, would bring the hammer down on North Korea.
Unfortunately for Trump, the North Koreans had waited for precisely the moment at which something predictable would happen: Namely, they waited for latent tensions in US-China relations to make themselves apparent and then launched their missile. This makes Chinese cooperation with Trump's request very unlikely.
Trump might also have heard Xi's complaints about US Treasury Department actions, namely the leveling of "secondary sanctions" on China's small but crucial Bank of Dandong.
Is China going to attack North Korea or move troops into the border region to intimidate Kim at precisely the time when the young North Korean leader is brandishing new missiles?
Although there was a lot of discussion about Chinese troops movements during April's crisis, it seems extremely unlikely under current circumstances.
Trump's desire for a hard line against North Korea has problems outside of those presented by the Chinese leadership, or by Chinese banks.
In Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is moving steadily toward a more robust defensive posture, but the entire region would surely recoil in protest if Trump called openly on Japan to go nuclear or consider attacking North Korea.
And the new South Korean President Moon Jae-in recently arrived in Washington, which resulted in some tough talk for North Korea. But there were also likely moderating messages brought to Trump from Moon, who prefers a more gradual and engagement-based approach to the North.
The North Korea problem remains as clear as ever. In spite of a summer drought in its breadbasket provinces, a near total lack of Internet connectivity and an economy that still relies largely on mass "volunteer" labor work to move rock and dig ditches, North Korea's nuclear and missile technicians will somehow get the resources they need, and the tests will likely continue.
On the Fourth of July, Trump can hope the Chinese and his regional allies bail him out, even as the sky lights up overhead. But for that to happen, the President is going to have to recognize America's limits when it comes to dealing with China and North Korea, and stop creating so much tension in the region. Until this happens, he can keep on hoping.
