Q & A

Expert Advice on Swine Flu

Tuesday, September 1, 2009

In the Health section's special report on swine flu last week, we posed some common questions to Andrew Pekosz, an associate professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. As readers submit further questions, he will continue to offer answers.

-- Rachel Saslow

I got a swine flu vaccine in 1976. Am I protected from this strain?

No, you are not. The 1976 and 2009 H1N1 viruses are different, and the immune responses from the 1976 vaccine lasted only about a year.

What is the typical incubation period of swine flu?

This is difficult to estimate, but it appears that it takes one to three days for symptoms to develop after exposure to the virus. Remember that the most important thing is what you do after you feel the first symptoms: Stay home and limit your contact with people, practice good cough and sneeze hygiene (cough or sneeze into disposable tissues or your sleeve) and wash your hands and the surfaces you come in contact with frequently.

When will the vaccine be available?

As of now, it looks as though vaccination for high-risk groups will begin in mid- to late October. Once the high-risk groups have been immunized, vaccination of the general population will begin, most likely in November or early December. Announcements regarding when and where to get the vaccine will be made on a regular basis this fall, so pay close attention to your news sources for updated information.

Will the seasonal flu vaccine help protect me from H1N1?

The seasonal flu vaccine will not provide any significant protection against H1N1. However, we do expect to see some cases of seasonal influenza this year, and many of the high-risk populations for H1N1 vaccination (pregnant women, children, people with underlying medical conditions) as well as people over the age of 65 should get the seasonal vaccine in addition to the H1N1 vaccine.

My child has a severe egg allergy. Can he get the H1N1 vaccine?

All the influenza vaccines that will be administered this year consist of virus components generated from eggs, so if you have an egg allergy, you should not get either the seasonal flu vaccine or the H1N1 vaccine.

I'm 66 and in good health.

Do I need the vaccine, and

when should I get it?

As always, consult with your physician about specific medical advice. I would suggest you should get the seasonal flu vaccine, which is available now, since you are in one of the risk groups for getting severe disease from seasonal flu. Also, get the H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available to your age group, which will not be at the beginning of the vaccination campaign but probably in November or December.

Robin Givhan on Fashion: Madeleine Albright's pins were mightier than the sword

By Robin Givhan
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, November 8, 2009

The pins are displayed in glass cases at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York so that the jeweled butterflies seem to be in mid-flight and the patriotic eagles and flags sparkle like Fourth of July fireworks in a vitrine. The exhibition, "Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection," features some 200 brooches the former secretary of state has collected over the years. Most of the baubles are not precious, nor are they setting any new standards in design. Albright intentionally shopped flea markets and costume jewelry boutiques to build her collection so that it would not be fancy or rarefied. The brooches are valuable only because of their provenance. They were chosen and worn by the first female secretary of state, one who understood that fashion, rather than being a burden, could be another tool in her diplomatic arsenal. And it was one that men did not have.

Like most women of her generation, Albright, 72, has always had a small collection of brooches, which included her former husband's fraternity pin, her college circle pin and some understated gifts from her mother-in-law. But a serpent pin opened her unique diplomatic dialogue. As the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in the 1990s, she criticized Saddam Hussein for his non-compliance with U.N. weapons inspections. The Iraqi press published a poem in which she was referred to as a serpent. Albright responded by wearing a small golden reptile, coiled around a thin branch, on her jacket at the next meeting with the Iraqis. It was, as she puts it, her way of "sending a message."

For Albright, fashion has always had power on the world stage; it says something about who we are. As secretary of state, she was photographed with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. She made a point of wearing an American flag brooch that stretched from her shoulder almost half-way down her jacket. It was her way of silently combating North Korean propaganda.

But she was disturbed by the brouhaha over flags during the 2008 presidential campaign, when not wearing one was portrayed as unpatriotic. "I thought the controversy of political people wearing pins was bad news. I had been to North Korea and people have to wear pins with the face of the dear leader," Albright says during an interview in a sitting room at her Washington office. "Why in a democracy would you insist people wear flag pins?"

In addition to the exhibition, Albright has written an accompanying book filled with glossy photographs of her jewelry, as well as historical images of her wearing the pieces and anecdotes explaining how they helped her to engage the global community. "I think my niche in writing books is to make foreign policy less foreign to people," she says. Now a consultant, professor and full-time eminence grise, she receives visitors in a modern parlor, modestly adorned with awards and mementos from her travels. The room is dominated by an imposing mask -- probably three feet tall -- carved from a single piece of wood and purchased in Cape Town. She ferried it back on her diplomatic plane, one of the perks of her position being baggage did not have to fit in tiny overhead compartments.

"I try to talk about foreign policy in a way that people find interesting. I thought this was the ultimate way -- to use the pins to tell the stories.

"They're a vehicle for people to ask questions."

The often whimsical jewelry has been a way into conversations about foreign policy for the mostly female audiences that have come to her book tour talks. (She was scheduled to appear Nov. 7 at the 22nd Annual Washington Craft Show.) Occasionally, the guests ask about specific brooches and the stories connected to them, but typically, the accessories serve as icebreakers. They humanize the former secretary of state and under the guise of a chat about jewelry, guests feel free to pose questions without the pressure of having to preface them with paragraphs of smartypants context. "They might not go to a speech by a former secretary of state, but I do think they think they can go to a bookstore and talk about pins."

The book-tour audiences, Albright says, have asked her about Iran and nuclear proliferation, about the U.S. relationship with Russia and about Iraq and Afghanistan, especially whether the war in the latter is winnable. She usually tells her questioners that she "appreciates the way President Obama is making this decision. I wanted to see a president that was confident rather than certain."

During a morning conversation, for which she has brought extra brooches for show and tell, Albright glides comfortably between a reference to anti-ballistic missile treaties to a recollection of a particularly bad hair day. Being the first woman to hold her position, she says, was filled with uniquely female fashion moments. During a meeting in Paris, for instance, she spilled salad dressing on the skirt of her lavender suit and then had to take a group photograph with the other dignitaries in which she, as the only woman, would be front and center.

Henry Kissinger, she thought, would have been wearing a plain black suit; it would have camouflaged the oily stain; he wouldn't be in this predicament. She didn't even have a handbag to cover her mishap. Her solution? When she stood up, she quickly spun the skirt around backwards. Let a man try that! she thought to herself.

But as easily as Albright shares tales of retail therapy while on the road, the reality is that she would not have written this book when she was secretary of state. First of all, she could never have found the time. But also, "I would not have liked this to be the first book," she says. "I know this is a fun book. It's written with quite a lot of tongue in cheek." Instead, it follows her memoirs, an analysis of the role of religion in world affairs and last year's "Memo to the President-elect," which she inscribed to President Obama: "With the audacity to hope this book will be useful."

Clean energy is a conservative cause

By James Murdoch
Friday, December 4, 2009

Conservatives champion the essential characteristics of America: liberty, enterprise and ingenuity. As world leaders consider how to transform the way we make and use energy in the face of a changing climate, it's time for an energy policy true to that spirit -- and it shouldn't be anathema to the American right.

Conservatives have a robust tradition of principled concern for the environment. It was, after all, Teddy Roosevelt who created five national parks and signed the Antiquities Act. It was Richard Nixon who established the Environmental Protection Agency, and George H.W. Bush who ushered in one of the greatest environmental success stories, the 1990 cap-and-trade plan to take on acid rain.

Today, Americans of all political persuasions want to see their country on a path toward an economy powered by energy that is clean, safe, secure and stable. With climate legislation pending and a binding global treaty being negotiated, conservative leadership is critical because the only way to get the job done is with broad bipartisan agreement.

How can they do it? By establishing a Red-Blue-Green agenda on whose principles conservatives, Democrats and independents can all agree. Which Americans would argue against energy that meets the following principles:

-- Freedom from national insecurity. The Western world's dependence on oil means transferring billions of dollars to nations whose interests are at odds with democratic ideals. This makes for geopolitical instability and forces the United States to compromise its role as a beacon of freedom just to secure traditional fuels.

-- A return to economic strength. Ultimately, the question is: Which countries will lead the world to a clean-energy future -- and reap the benefits? The United States is already falling behind. It has lost its dominance in solar manufacturing and ranks 22nd in energy efficiency. The Chinese market for clean tech is forecast to grow to as much as $1 trillion per year. America cannot afford to cede new markets and the jobs they create without even trying.

-- New employment, with lower long-term costs. Much of the U.S. debate focuses on the short-term costs associated with the transition to a clean-energy economy without considering its long-term benefits or calculating the costs of continuing business as usual. The wave of innovations around clean energy will not only create new industries and jobs but also allow businesses to have increasingly efficient -- and therefore more profitable -- operations.

-- Cleaner, healthier communities. Republicans once played a leading role in cleaning up our air and water, and conservatives of all stripes should champion that role again. The manufacturing booms that built cities such as Detroit and Cleveland left environmental degradation in their wake. Good climate legislation will bring jobs back to hard-hit areas, but this time factories will not pollute the groundwater or make the air unsafe to breathe.

-- Competition trumps regulation. A sensible clean-energy policy should free, rather than constrain, markets. Smart policy corrects market failures and provides certainty, stimulating investment in the technology and infrastructure necessary to build an economy based on clean energy. Washington must ensure that such investment will be rewarded. The government shouldn't "pick winners" -- it should unleash competition, ensuring that the cleanest businesses thrive and the dirtiest are held accountable. A well-crafted federal law to limit pollution is better than unfettered regulation by the EPA or ever-changing regulation by the states.

The seeds of these opportunities have already been planted. And companies that have taken the lead are prospering. At News Corporation, we have saved millions by becoming more energy-efficient, overhauling a range of systems from the production of such shows as "American Idol" and "24" to energy usage in our buildings around the world. This has yielded savings that help us invest more in talent and has inspired us to look for further opportunities to improve.

You do not need to believe that all climate science is settled or every prediction or model is perfect to understand the benefits of limiting pollution and transforming our energy policies -- as a gradually declining cap on carbon pollution would do. This is the moment to champion policies that yield new industries, healthy competition, cleaner air and water, freedom from petroleum politics and reduced costs for businesses.

Through market-based incentives we can achieve clean energy at the lowest cost and with the strongest incentives for innovation -- ensuring that the energy solution will help, not harm, the economy. Republicans such as Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) get this and are working across party lines to build support for new legislation. Previously conservation-minded conservatives are missing in the heated partisanship of today's politics. It's time they found their voice again.

The writer is chairman and chief executive, Europe and Asia, News Corporation.

Watching a Wes Anderson movie is rather like watching a precocious child put on a little play with nursery toys: His sets are built with the fastidious precision of expensive dollhouses, his characters posed and manipulated like life-sized action figures. There are dramatic moments, and funny bits too, and the whole production is laced with an imaginative absurdity that seems drawn as much from a genuine naivete about the world as from any built-up cynicism. Many of the conflicts concern familial dysfunction, and the distance between parents and their children. The story is drawn from real life, or something like it, but at no time does anything resembling reality actually intrude.

Objective reality is not the subject of “Moonrise Kingdom,” Mr. Anderson’s endearing and amusing seventh feature. Instead, the movie is devoted to capturing the subjective experiences of two clever but emotionally troubled adolescents, Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward), who find each other — and themselves — on a small New England island.

The story is told from their perspective, but much of the screen time is devoted to four adults: Scout Master Ward (Edward Norton), Police Captain Sharp (Bruce Willis), and Suzy’s parents, Walt and Laura (Bill Murray and Frances McDormand). The four are brought together when Sam, a scout in the island’s troop, and Suzy, a bookish misfit, decide to run away together. The story follows two tracks: the journey of Sam and Suzy as they set up a temporary home, and the worried adults attempting to track them down.

The young, first-time performers playing Sam and Suzy are charming enough that their weaknesses as actors are easy to forgive: Kara, in particular, shows real promise. And any deficiencies in the young leads are more than made up for by the deft performances of the four adult stars, all of whom give themselves fully and generously to Mr. Anderson’s meticulous vision.

Ultimately, the movie’s stars are merely players in Mr. Anderson’s cinematic dollhouse. Like all his previous films, which include “Rushmore,” “The Royal Tenenbaums” and “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” “Moonrise Kingdom” is a fussy and particular movie, the product of a stylized, singular vision and a peculiar but consistent set of narrative interests, including but not limited to young love, parental dismay, board games and children’s amateur theater.

Indeed, “Moonrise Kingdom” may be Mr. Anderson’s fussiest and most particular movie yet: Costumes are picked to precisely match set decor, and sets are built to resemble full-size shoebox dioramas, each a sort of upscale shoebox constructed to house a particular character and scene. Mr. Anderson lavishes each with considered, telling details designed to reveal the character of those within; nothing within the frame escapes his control.

The monomaniacal fussiness makes “Moonrise Kingdom” an indulgent movie, but not a bad one. Rather the opposite: It’s a film that shows Mr. Anderson succeeds most when he indulges his own stylistic and thematic obsessions rather than attempt to suppress them.

TITLE: “Moonrise Kingdom”

CREDITS: Directed by Wes Anderson, screenplay by Mr. Anderson and Roman Coppola

RATING: PG-13 for sexuality and language

RUNNING TIME: 94 minutes

Reds Opening Day tickets on sale Saturday at GABP - News, Weather & Sports

Fans pitch tents for limited Opening Day tickets

Reds fans began pitching tents early Friday morning to get their hands on a limited amount of tickets for Opening Day on April 1st.

Fans told FOX19 that some started getting to the park as early as 4 a.m. They continued to line up throughout the day in hopes of getting their hands on tickets.

"We do this every year. This is the way we roll," said Terry Weathersby.

"It's like a national holiday in Cincinnati," added Butch Cain.

Terry Weathersby lined up this morning at 7 a.m. and said he had to pack snacks for the whole day to keep his spot in line.

"Some bologna, bought me some miracle whip, eggs, chips, corn on the cob," said Weathersby.

Those who've done this before say weather normally isn't too much of an issue towards the end of March, but even with these cold temperatures, they're committed.

"I got about two or three jackets in there, and I wish I had a heater though because I'm going to need it tonight," said Cain.

Fans are passing the time in whichever way possible including Michelle Johnson who says it's actually been a pretty productive day.

"I just brought my work with me, my computer. I've been in contact with my boss all day and calling the teams and everything else," said Johnson.

There's a total of 1,000 view level seats for $32 and 500 standing room for $20 available. Each fan is allowed to buy a maximum of four tickets.

Once they're gone, they're gone.

"We are dedicated fans down here. Come on down because it's going to be good this year. It's going to be great," said Weathersby.

According to ticket officials, 1500 tickets usually sell out in about 40 minutes. The Reds kick off their year with Interleague play against the Angels.

"Opening Day has many traditions, including fans being able to buy tickets at the box office for this first game of the season," said Reds COO Phil Castellini, Chief Operating Officer of the Cincinnati Reds.

Last year's tickets sold out in under one hour. The Opening Day ticket sale will happen rain or shine.

Derby gala benefits children with incarcerated mothers - News, Weather & Sports

Derby gala benefits children with incarcerated mothers

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – The Derby weekend fun didn't end with Saturday's final race at Churchill Downs. A star-studded event for a worthy cause also provided fun and entertainment Saturday night.

Silks in the Bluegrass benefits Operation Open Arms, an organization built on caring for children with incarcerated mothers. Organizers hope the event will help provide for the basic needs of youngsters during a critical time in their lives – needs like clothing, housing and transportation.

U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, former U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, shared a table with Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky at the $250-a-plate fundraiser.

Miss America Mallory Hagan came to show her support for Boys and Girls Haven Louisville, an organization near and dear to her heart. "Child sexual abuse is something that's affected a lot of the people in my family," Hagan said.

Honorary guest speaker Rick Moriarty came to Derby City all the way from Boston. He was a first responder at the marathon bombings. He said Derby time shows what is great about America and that he will go home remembering everything that makes the Kentucky Derby special: "The pageantry, the hats and the pleasantries, the southern hospitality, the friendship that was shown to me," Moriarty said.

Valerie Simpson headlined Silks in the Bluegrass. She is one half of the Motown songwriting duo Ashford and Simpson. They are responsible for penning songs like Ain't No Mountain High Enough and Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing.

Son of Ebola victim gives update on mother's condition - News, Weather & Sports

Son of Ebola victim gives update on mother's condition

Over 200 people gathered inside a Charlotte church to pray for two Americans infected with the deadly Ebola virus overseas in Africa.

Nancy Writebol is from Charlotte and a member of Calvary Church in South Charlotte. She and her husband, David, went to Liberia as part of joint team of medical missionaries.

Nancy is suffering from the Ebola virus.

Wednesday evening, Pastor John Munro of Calvary Church led prayers for Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantley.

Writebol's son, Jeremy Writebol, lives in Kansas, but spoke to WBTV by phone. He says he has been able to speak to both of them via Skype.

"When they discovered she was infected, they quarantined her in her home immediately, mainly because the hospital with the isolation ward was full," Jeremy said.

"She's weak, fighting and maintaining hope and her spirits are high but definitely tired and trying to just walk through as best she can," he added.

There are also concerns about his dad, David Writebol, who was interacting with his wife before she was diagnosed.

"He's doing well, he's healthy. He's vibrant strong and working hard trying to take care of mom the best that he can while he's not able to be in there with her he's there trying to help," Writebol said.

David is taking his temperature every six hours.  He cannot have contact with his wife, but he can see how she's doing.

"He talks to mom right now through a window," Writebol said.

The missions are planning to send many of their workers out of Liberia.  But Jeremy says his parents will stay. And says the family in the states is holding up as best they can.

"We're hanging in there," Writebol said, "We continue to pray for her and ask just for grace for mom that she would be healed."

Bruce Johnson is the president of the mission they worked for called SIM. He says both Brantly and Writebol are in stable condition and receiving around the clock medical care.

"They're alert. They're sick. They're weak, but yet their strong in spirit and yet they're fighting for their lives," Johnson said.

Life is a beach

Every time I go to the beach I can't but notice that - damn, us ladies really do over pack! When essentially we only need a few key items.

  1. Long Champs bag: It's the cliche purse of 2010/2011 but it's because of how well it compliments any outfit. The bag itself is very durable, it can handle a heavy load and it's water resistant. I suggest all you Canadian ladies to buy yours across the border at the Duty Free, I got mine for only $80 compared to the ones here that cost $150.
  2. Towel: I feel like we all tend to back very thick and heavy towels, when really all we need is a thin light towel. Lighter for obvious reasons, and thin because it's easier for the sun to dry up. I purchased mine from Old Navy and it comes with a string to hold it together.
  3. Raybans: Whether it's Aviators, Wayfarers, Club Masters - Raybans are a classic sunglasses and are timeless. Enough said.
  4. Watch: It's time to stop relying on technology (specifically our cell phones) to tell us the time. Michael Kors has a great selection of watches, and if that doesn't suit your price range there's always Fossil.

  1. HI DEAR...
    your blog is fantastic...i like it so much...
    btw watch the Tommy Hilfigher video at my blog...
    and tell me what do you think about the preppy...

  2. Love your RayBans! I need a pair!

  3. haha yes i totally overpack for ANYTHING.

    How do I make use of pagination psd file?

    I am trying to add navigation by means of pagination. So I downloaded a .psd file pagination template. I know how to code it to work, but how am I supposed to use this template? Should I edit all the buttons (and create over 100 of these as I have lots of content) or is there a way I can do it with CSS... where I get the computer to automatically edit the buttons depending on what page I'm on

    Hey, Major Payne. Thanks for the reply. Yes I do get how pagination works. I understand the coding behind it. With a use of a loop I can get to divide the content into different pages, and create links (page numbers to that page),etc. But I would like to know how to make use of the .psd file of the pagination template. Yes I can use the images to link to the page numbers by using CSS. I got Corel Paintshop to open the .psd file.
    Do I just use the buttons as they are and they will automatically update the page numbers depending on my coding, or do I have to edit them (i.e. insert numbers into different buttons so I can have a button "50" to link to the 50th page)?

A few highlights:

1. On "The Chosen One" stories
RR: Well, I think we all sort of want to be chosen. Because being chosen means having a purpose. Being chosen gives your life meaning and clarity.

KT: And it makes pain so much more bearable, in some ways, whereas a teenager struggling with depression may find it hard to figure out whether their pain and their life has meaning.

2. On beauty
I went almost 40 years without seeing anyone presented as beautiful unless they met a really narrow standard. I never saw fat women presented as beautiful. I think Tumblr, specifically, has actually healed my brain. It’s exposed me to so many types of beauty. And I realized that I have widened my own standards to include myself.

Get a Coffee & Car Wash @ Care'Fe

Car'fe is between the main train station and The 100 Year Market on Mookamontri Road.

It's the perfect place to get your bike or car washed whilst you eat lunch.

My bill for an iced cappuccino, a pad krapow gai khai dao (chicken and basil with a fried egg) and my bike wash was only 165 Baht. Steal!

Bike wash = 60 Baht
Car wash = 99 Baht (starts from)

The krapow came on a school dinner tray, for the added hipster feel that you would be lost without in any Korat coffeeshop. The egg was runny but well cooked, so just about perfect for me. Overall, highly recommended and I will be back for a bike wash and a lunch soon.

Coffee was very sweet, but that was my mistake for not telling them. The shockingly sweet trinity of sugar and syrup and sweetened condensed milk I assume.

Overall, it took about 30 minutes, with a slight queue. Comfy enough inside, and the bike was the cleanest I've ever seen it. They didn't leave a spot of grease or dust on it.

It is not the same as the other Car'Fe up by Pegasus Hotel I am told. That one is called At Car'Fe. The logos are the same and they are both coffee/lunch/car washes. Seems to be a recurring thing here now. Pretty funny.

Car'Fe Information

Cafe open: 7am - midnight
Car wash open: 8am - 8pm

Opposite Kids Academy on Mookamontri Road, between the main train station and The 100 Year Market.

Simple Slow Cooker Tips

Jan 14, 2011 10:30PM ● Published by Anonymous

Here are some tips for slow cooker success:

•    Brown your meat before you heat. The extra few minutes you take to do so will greatly enhance the flavor of your meal. If you dredge your meat in a little flour before browning, you’ll also get a thicker sauce. While some foods will brown during the cooking process, they won’t have the same color and flavor they get when browned first on the stovetop. If you can find the time for this step, the results are worth it.

•    Prioritize your ingredients. Hardy, fresh vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, or turnips for example, cook more slowly than meat. To avoid undercooking these types of veggies, place them on the bottom or sides and the meat on top. Add tender veggies (peas) and strongly flavored veggies like broccoli, cauliflower or onions in the last 15 to 60 minutes. Dairy products like sour cream, milk or yogurt, tend to break down in the slow cooker. To prevent this, add them during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking. However, prepared items such as the Bob Evans’ Refrigerated Mashed Potatoes in this recipe can be added at the beginning. Stir in spices for the last hour of cooking. They will lose flavor if cooked with the rest of the ingredients for the duration.

•    Resist the urge to stir. Each time you lift the lid to do so, heat escapes, extending the needed cooking time by up to half an hour. Some recipes do instruct you to stir halfway through the cooking process or toward the end, but otherwise it's best to leave the lid closed. To check progress without lifting the lid, spin the cover until the condensation falls off. Then it's easy to see inside.

Here’s a deliciously simple slow cooker recipe that your whole family will love:

Slow Cooker Shepherd’s Pie

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 4 to 6 hours
Makes 6 servings

1 pound Bob Evans Original Recipe Sausage Roll
1 24 ounce package Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
1 12 ounce jar beef gravy
In medium skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook sausage until brown. Place in slow cooker. Add peas and carrots. Top with mashed potatoes. Pour gravy on top of potatoes. Cover and cook on low 4 to 6 hours.

What to Wear in Kenya

Market at Mombasa, in January

Market at Mombasa, in January

A Message From Helen

I want you to have an amazing vacation. That's why I started WhatToWearOnVacation.com,
to help you pack with confidence and stay safe, secure and comfortable.

Disclosure: We recommend products and services that we love and think you will too. If you click on a product link on this page, the provider may pay us a small commission.

General Style Tips

  • Casual, comfortable clothes are the key when traveling in Kenya.
  • During the day it is hot so our advice is to pack loose lightweight layers in natural fabrics such as linen, bamboo and cotton that will keep you cool and are easier to wash and dry.
  • We suggest keeping to light, neutral colors, but not white - it will get dirty and dusty very quickly.
  • Avoid blue or black clothing - the tsetse flies are drawn to these colors, and their bite can give you African Sleeping Sickness.
  • It is very important to note that camouflage/military clothing or print is not permitted.
  • Remember your sunglasses and lots of sunscreen (we love the Riemann P20 range for 10 hour protection), and of course insect/mosquito repellent is really important.
  • And don't forget a wide-brimmed safari hat to protect your face and neck.
  • When you are on safari, the idea is to relax and enjoy your time under the African sky, and listen to the calls of the wild all around you! Dinner dress is therefore casual and comfortable.
  • Long pants and long-sleeved tops are best, to protect you from the harsh sun by day and mosquitoes at night.
  • Nighttime and early morning game drives can be cold, so pack a warm hat, scarf, gloves and a fleece or jacket.
  • If you are visiting the beaches pack your swimwear, but keep it strictly to the beach or pool area and cover up with a t-shirt or kaftan when walking around. You'll cause offence otherwise.

What Shoes To Pack

  • Take comfy practical footwear for daytime - the roads are dusty and uneven - and for trekking in the bush make sure you have sturdy, closed-in walking shoes or sneakers. Try Hotter shoes, they are amazingly light and comfortable.
  • We love Thorlos hiking socks too, they keep your feet dry and comfortable in all climates.
  • Avoid going barefoot on beaches in Kenya; chigoe fleas can dig into your feet and cause boils and sores. You may like to wear dive shoes to protect your feet, and from the sea urchins too.

Clothing Tips for Women

  • In Muslim areas including the coast, shorts and t-shirts can be frowned upon. Away from the tourist hotels and beaches, our advice is to wear pants, or a knee length or longer skirt, and tops which cover your shoulders.
  • Leave your valuables and expensive jewelry at home, you really won't need them.
  • If you're dressing for dinner in the beach resorts, a few simple pieces of costume jewelry will dress up an outfit.
  • A pashmina or sarong is a versatile item that you can use for sun protection or to 'glam' up the simplest of outfits if you feel like a change.

Clothing Tips for Men

  • When exploring Muslim areas including the coast, long pants are a good idea.
  • Evening dress codes in the beach hotels are likely to be 'smart casual' - so long pants with a shirt. On safari you'll want long pants too, to protect from mosquitoes.
  • If you're looking for versatile and stylish beachwear, try the Madda Fella range of shirts, shorts, polos and swimwear.
  • For great versatile travel jackets with multiple pockets including RFID security options, we love the SCOTTeVEST range.

Pack for the Weather

  • If you plan to visit between March, April and May or October, November and December, prepare for afternoon rainstorms by taking a light raincoat.
  • We love the Weather+ app - it gives an accurate 6 day forecast for day and night, which when you're planning from home is really helpful. You can keep all the places you've been to too - a nice way to remember your trip :) Download for iPad/iPhone or Android

Regions of Kenya

  • It does cool off at night - especially in Nairobi and the Highlands in July and August - so pack a pashmina, fleece or sweater.
  • The mountains will be cooler because of the altitude so pack warmer layers and a waterproof jacket for this terrain. light wool is a good choice to wear against your skin as it naturally helps to regulate your body temperature. It keeps you warm in the cold, wicks away moisture when it's hot, and doesn't retain odours - even after prolonged wear.

Other Things To Pack

  • A soft-sided rucksack is more practical than a hard suitcase for safari vacations - it's easier to fit into the small planes or transfer vehicles. Using packing cubes can help to keep your belongings tidy whilst compressing the volume too.
  • Internal flights often have much lower baggage limits than your international carrier. Use an accurate luggage scale to ensure you keep within the weight allowance.
  • Combine your rucksack with a sling bag or lightweight day sack for sightseeing trips and game drives.
  • Look after your mobile phone with a phone bunjee - it protects against loss, theft and damage. You may like to carry a solar powered charger too, to boost your battery when out and about - you don't want to miss that great photo opportunity!
  • To use electrical gadgets you may need a travel adapter plug, and also a step down voltage converter if your devices are not designed for the local voltage (240V).
  • Don’t drink or even brush your teeth in tap water. Consider taking a Water-to-Go Filtration Water Bottle.
  • And don't forget to leave room for souvenirs on the way home! Look out for carvings, Maasai beaded jewelry or Kenyan coffee, to name a few.

Photos: Watford 3-1 QPR, Championship

Ollie Irish

8th, December 2009

Watford moved into sixth place in the Championship with this impressive win against QPR.

Patrick Agyemang put the visitors in front after 33 minutes with a fierce strike from the edge of the area. Lloyd Doyley equalised with a header just before half-time (his first goal in almost 300 appearances!), then second-half strikes by Don Cowie and Man Utd’s on-loan midfielder Tom Cleverley earned all three points for the Hornets.

QPR have won just once in their last seven league matches, including last weekend’s 5-1 thrashing at home to Middlesbrough, and have slipped to 10th in the table.

flannel shirt and boots

They say what goes around comes around and just like the 80’s, the 90’s are now making a comeback.  Whether you’re a product of the 90’s or you just remember the decade fondly, you are probably relieved to be able to revel in a little bit of  nostalgia not involving sweatbands and permed hair.  A time when grunge music took center stage, so did many of the fashion trends that went along with it.  Flannel shirts and shaggy hair were par for the course and while I do not condone actual “grunge,” I love the undone edgy look. I snatched this particular shirt from my mom’s house, so it very well may be from the 90’s, but it probably won’t be too hard to find one of your own.

flannel plaid shirt

To create your own modern take on the flannel shirt try putting together some pieces that mix both grunge and glam.

1. Zoo York Charleston Flannel Shirt, $49.50, 2. Emily D Vegan Leather Leggings, $68, 3. Giles and Brother Multi Graduated Chain Bracelet, $175, 4. T by Alexander Wang Jersey T-Shirt Dress, $85, 5. Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Plaid About You, $8.54, 6. Wyatt Black Wool Cashmere Knit Hat, $85, 7. MICHAEL Michael Kors Rock N Roll Bootie, $325

Smells like teen spirit.

Eco friendly electric car to make UK debut

A new range of electric vehicles aimed at the urban market will be unveiled in London next month with plans to launch them onto the UK market by early 2012. mia electric will showcase its three ‘Microbus’ electric vehicles (EVs), which have been designed with the business market in mind, at the EcoVelocity motor show at London’s Battersea Power Station in three weeks time.

Shaped in the form of a minibus, the lightweight car comes in three sizes and targets the office and commercial user. It has a range of 120-130 miles and a top speed of 68 miles per hour and costs approximately £1.30 per 100 kilometres to run, according to its manufacturer.

The car is expected to cost £22,000 to buy after the Government’s £5,000 Plug-in Car Grant, is set to join a growing number of EVs on the UK market when it goes on sale here in the first quarter of 2012.

Wiles Greenworld London office supplies distributor that offers free recycling at work was pleased to learn of the new range of green products. The sustainability focused company believes the new range will help British businesses and households achieve carbon reduction and could have a significant impact on the nation’s carbon footprint. As London’s environmental office stationery supplies company, Wiles Greenworld will be investigating the opportunities that the new technology will offer stationery supplies companies such as Wiles Greenworld.

This gorgeous well-made gown arrived much earlier then projected. I am extremely pleased with my purchase!!
By using the size chart from the company, the gown fit perfectly!! The crystals and rhinestones that enhance the gown are perfect and sewn on very carefully. I am truly pleased that I chose this beaded gown, and I heartily recommend it!!!

You don't see 80-foot-long painted murals on the walls of a farm equipment dealership very often. In fact, I know of only one. It overlooks the parts department of the former Studer Super Service Inc. (now Hennessey Implement) in Monroe.

It's a rather amazing panorama of western scenes: deer, fish, mountains and trees — things the artist had apparently lived with prior to his coming to Monroe.

A part of history

The mural is a part of the history of Studer Super Service, a family-owned business that covered an 84-year span dating to 1931. That's when Ernest Studer, a farmer and stone mason, took the advice of his girlfriend (later his wife), Rose, who worked at a Texaco station in New Glarus, and opened their own Texaco service station on the corner of State Highway 59 and Sixth Street in Monroe.

On the advice and prompting of Toby Knobel, who owned a car dealership in New Glarus, Studer established a Chrysler and Plymouth dealership and also began selling Massey Harris tractors and New Holland equipment.

In 1946, Studer Super Service got its official start as a farm equipment dealership. Tractor sales grew, and the company began adding other farm equipment to its sales line. In 1958, the automobile dealership was sold.

The business prospered

Over the years. the business prospered, and Ernie Studer's four sons, Louis, Frank, Gary and Nathan, joined the operation that featured Massey Ferguson tractors and implements. (Note: Massey Harris and the Ferguson Company farm machinery manufacturer merged in 1953, creating the Massey Harris Ferguson company that became Massey Ferguson in 1958. Today, the company exists as a brand name used by AGCO.)

In 1963 the Studer brothers purchased the business from their father and each specialized in an operational area. Louis served as general manager; Fred managed sales; Gary was parts manager; and Nathan directed service and trucking.

It took 72 hours

It was in 1948 when Ernest Studer stopped at a tavern across the street from his office and noted a mural that had been painted on the wall and met the man who had painted it. His name was Herman Wall, and he asked if anyone else would like a mural painted. Ernest Studer invited Wall to to come over to his farm equipment store and see if they could work something out.

The result was the large mural — 80 feet long and 5 feet high — that extends along parts of three walls and above several windows, across from the parts counter.

'It took him 72 hours to paint the huge mural,' Fred Studer said. 'I don't know who he really was or what we paid him, but he was obviously very talented.'

The mural has a western theme that includes a high railroad bridge over a river with a mountain in the background and a moose in the woods in the foreground. There is also a quiet lake being fed by a waterfall and a scene with a small house and picket fence resting on the edge of the trees.

There is also a scene featuring a Massey Harris tractor, something the artist no doubt included to impress Studer.

I suspect many a customer at Studer Supper Service took a long look at the intriguing art work while waiting for their order to be filled. That could be a good many curious lookers over the 67 years the mural has overlooked the parts counter.

I wonder if they admired it as I did and wondered about the long-ago artist, or, did they pass it off as a curio?

David Studer, Fred's son, said it has been washed and refurbished at least once and now has darkened in color and needs cleaning again.

Are there others?

For sure, there must be other such magnificent murals somewhere around Wisconsin. It would not seem that the artist would have done only two (in the long-gone tavern and Studers). Perhaps there are people who know more about artist Herman Wall. If so, let me know.

In recent years, ownership of Studer Super Service has passed to Fred's sons, David and Ernest, and his brother, Gary.

'Although the company was doing well, they were getting older and felt it was time to leave the business,' Fred said.

The changing scene

In April, Hennessey Implement of Dodgeville became the new owner, and the business continues. Fred Studer and his son, David, continue as employees working in sales and finances, respectively.

Unlike the many farm equipment stores in Wisconsin that have closed over the years as the generations and times changed, this one continues to serve farmers as before — hopefully for many years to come.

There was a time, not too long ago, when every town, village and city all across the state had one or perhaps three or four farm implement dealers.

John Deere, Allis Chalmers and International Harvester (Farmall) were everywhere with Ford, Ferguson, Oliver, Co-op, Minneapolis Moline and Massey Harris (among others) with mostly widely scattered dealerships.

Farmers formed emotional alliances with the tractor brands and would faithfully buy from the dealers who sold 'green' (John Deere), 'red' (IH Farmall) or 'orange' (Allis Chalmers).

I have always figured farm mechanization really took off post-World War II. Tractors and a vast number of implements from combines to corn pickers to ever bigger tillage and harvesting implements appeared on the farm scene (it wasn't until 1954 that tractors outnumbered horses on farms).

Farm equipment dealerships — many family owned — were there to sell and service the ever bigger, more complicated and more expensive farm equipment, and the dealers thrived.

Farm mechanization

The 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s saw rapid farm expansion as farmers bought bigger and more high-tech equipment, and the tractor industry changed dramatically. Strangely, many major manufacturers found themselves in financial difficulties.

Among them was Milwaukee-based Allis-Chalmers, which built its first farm tractor in 1914; expanded greatly into industrial equipment during the 1970s and 80s; had financial difficulties; and made its last tractor in 1985.

Even International Harvester, which was formed in 1902 and along with John Deere were industry leaders, failed. By the early 1980s, IH was in financial trouble and in 1984 sold its farm equipment business (and its International Harvester name) to Tenneco Inc., who already owned J.I. Case. A new company and name — Case IH — was created.

The result of those industry moves caused chaos among farm equipment dealerships, and many closed or merged (many towns had both IH and Case dealers — now only one was needed).

Bigger and more complicated farm equipment meant dealers needed modern repair facilities, high-tech programs and technicians that not all dealers could afford. The result was mergers, closures and multi-store ownership — a trend that continues.

Meaning of Witchcraft

Author: G. B. Gardner

Publisher: Weiser

Category: Witchcraft   Level: All

Need some help: This copy of the Meaning of Witchcraft by G.B. Gardner is a bit of mystery and I'm hoping for some help.
Long and short, Gardner died in 1964 and most belongings and copy rights to his High Priestess, one Ms. Monique Wilson. Who also initiated Raymond and Mrs Buckland. Other prints of this book were done from '59 (1st Impression) 1971, 1982, and other more recent reprints.
I have a copy printed as a 3 Impression in 1976 and I can't find any documentation what so ever to suggest that it even exists. Not in Great Britain, not in the Library of Congress, nowhere.
It does have a copyright seal with Ms. Wilson's name. It has 2 ISBN numbers that don't match to the correct books, and has Eliphas Levi's original drawing and cover of his1855 book "Dogme de la Haute Magie", with Baphomet.
Book seems to be exactly like other versions, give or take the lack of bibliography, the cover, and the added copyright. I'm no expert but the book seems to be in tact, the binding solid, (not glued on, etc) . Publisher is listed as Weiser of New York, printed by a company in Surrey that's been out of business since 1980.
I'm at a loss and my ears are wide open for any information that might be out there?? Curiosity is getting best of my patience. Thanks! Verity

Where To Buy: I've put this on Ebay if you're interested, thanks.

Publication of a Resource Book on Sexuality in Senegal, a project with Groupe de Recherche sur les Femmes et les Lois au Sénégal (GREFELS), Senegal

In 2008, a small grant from the Sexuality, Society and Gender Program of the University of Uppsala in Sweden was recived to undertake a research on Senegalese women’s sexuality which findings would be published as a book.The research was completed an all articles drafted, but the money for printing and disseminating the book was lacking.  This grant made the publication possible.

Project:  Publication of a Resource Book on Sexuality in Senegal

Objectives: (i) to provide Senegalese women with information on sexuality (ii) to enable them to appropriate their body, (iii) to highlight the central role of sexuality in control over women,  (iv) to look at the issue of erotism and pleasure,  (v) to promote the vision of sexual rights as human rights (vi) to contribute to activism for the promotion of sexual rights as human rights in Senegal.

It was difficult to get respondent speak about sexuality in general and about their intimate experience about sexuality during the data collection. Many respondents invoked islam or tradition to legitimate certain practices and perception. Some religious people were against the ideas contained in the book, certainly because they were aware of our struggle against fundamentalism and for the defense of women’s human rights.

Publication forthcoming
