Mail Art with the Portland Correspondence Club

Last March I joined the first year of the Portland Correspondence Club (PDXCC). It was started in January of 2015 by two mail artists and it's held at the IPRC in Portland.

I met Niko, one of the founders, at the Portland Zine Symposium the summer before and he somehow knew I would love mail art, even though I had never done it before and I didn't think I was that into it. Niko invited me to join and finally after missing the first three months I went to a meeting and found my people and a fun new hobby.

Mail Art people are into mail, envelopes, office supplies, stationary, stamps, stamp pads, typewriters, history, snail mail, writing letters. They're the kind of people who squeal with excitement over a box filled with vintage penny stamps and who hoot and applaud a mailman when he's introduced to the group.

Mail Art people understand when I swoon over a certain washi tape or a get a little obsessed with fountain pens. They get me.

Mail Art Club - Meet Make Mail - Ponyboy Press blog
A banner I made and sent to each member for a Meet Make Mail themed project

The club meets once a month and each meeting usually includes a few to several vintage typewriters you can use, often there is a skill share or project, but mainly we visit and exchange our faux postage made for that month. Each member gets a passport book and people who make stamps each month put them in your book and often cancel them. It's damn official and fun to see what everyone makes.

Mail Art Club Passport with faux postage by members -

Every month members can choose to be a part of the monthly mail art exchange based on a theme.
Here are a few I did in 2015
Mail Art of The Titanics Menu -
This was my first project. The theme was food and this was a study on the different menus on The Titanic. It folds and I sealed the sides before sending.

Collage Mail Art from Teah House Postcard -
Postcards of a Tea House with images from old photos. The other side has a fake stamp and Tea themed address. This theme was collage

Sharing is Caring

You can recover from bulimia, but it may be a long and difficult process. The first step towards getting better is recognising the problem and seeking help.

Treatment may take time but you can recover from bulimia.

Treatment for bulimia is slightly different for adults and those under 18 years old.

Treatment for adults

Guided help

You will probably be offered a guided self-help programme as a first step in treating your bulimia. This often involves working through a self-help book combined with sessions with a health care professional, such as a therapist.

These self-help books may take you through a programme that helps you to:

  • Monitor what you are eating: this can help you notice and try to change patterns in your behaviour
  • Make realistic meal plans: planning what and when you intend to eat throughout the day can help you regulate your eating, prevent hunger and reduce binge eating.
  • Learn about your triggers: this can help you to recognise the signs, intervene and prevent a binge-purge cycle.
  • Identify the underlying causes of your disorder: this means you can work on those issues in a healthier way.
  • Find other ways of coping with your feelings.

Joining a self-help support group, like one of the Beat online support groups for people with bulimia, may be helpful to you.

If self-help treatment alone isn't enough or hasn't helped you after four weeks, you may also be offered cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or medication.

Cognitive behavioural therapy

If you are offered CBT, it will usually involve up to 20 sessions across 20 weeks.

CBT involves talking to a therapist, who will help you explore emotions and thoughts that could be contributing to your eating disorder, and how you feel about your weight and body shape.

They will help you to adopt regular eating habits and show you how to stick to them. They should also show you ways to manage difficult feelings and situations to stop you from relapsing once your therapy ends.

Treatment for children and young people

Family therapy

Children and young people will usually be offered family therapy. This involves you and your family talking to a therapist, exploring how bulimia has affected you and how your family can support you to get better.

You may also be offered CBT, which will be the same as the CBT offered to adults.

Looking after yourself

It's important to look after your health while recovering from bulimia.

If you are vomiting regularly, the acid in your vomit can damage your teeth over time. In order to minimise this damage you should:

  • avoid brushing teeth immediately after vomiting so you don't wear away the enamel
  • rinse your mouth with a non-acidic mouthwash
  • make sure you see your dentist regularly
  • don't drink or eat acidic foods, such as fruit juice, during a binge and after purging
  • don't smoke

Vomiting can also lead to risk of dehydration. To avoid this, make sure you drink plenty of fluids to replace what you have vomited.

Antidepressants should not be offered as the only treatment for bulimia. But you may be offered an antidepressant, such as fluoxetine (Prozac), in combination with therapy or self-help treatment, to help you manage other conditions, such as:

Antidepressants are very rarely prescribed for children or young people under 18.

Where treatment will happen

Most people with bulimia will be able to stay at home during their treatment. You will usually have appointments at your clinic and then be able to go home.

However, you may be admitted to hospital if you have serious health complications, including:

  • being very underweight
  • problems with your heart
  • being very ill and your life being at risk
  • being under 18 and your doctors believing you don't have enough support at home
  • doctors being worried that you might harm yourself or are at risk of suicide

Your doctors will keep a very careful eye on your weight and health if you're being cared for in hospital. They will help you to reach a healthy weight gradually, and either start or continue any therapy you are having.

Once they are happy with your weight, as well as your physical and mental health, you should be able to return home.

Further support for bulimia

There are many organisations that support people with bulimia and their families, including:

We really wanted to see the Radio City Music Hall’s Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes but the only show times available were 11am, which would mean Princess A would miss her first nap. Or 7pm, which would mean we would have to keep Princess A up past her bedtime. We chose 11 am and luckily Princess A passed out on the subway and slept the whole way to Radio City Music Hall.When we got to Radio City there were tons of fun things to do like take your picture with a real Rockette or Santa Clause. I secretly wanted to wake Princess A up so I could get some pictures of her smiling but followed my mother’s advice to never wake a sleeping baby. It was actually kind of funny. I ate a hot dog, bought some souvenirs, had a picture taken with a Rockette all while Princess A was fast asleep.We definitely did the right thing by letting her sleep because she woke up on her own in a great mood. I had just enough time to give her a bottle before the Christmas Spectacular started.The women’s lounge was very glamorous. I felt like I was hanging out in a 1940s club. I especially loved the paintings on the wall!We played peekaboo with Princess A’s tutu and had a lot of fun!I have no reason for posting this picture I just love Princess A’s smile!We entered the theater right before showtime and I was wowed by how grand it was.It was amazing how many people came out to see the show on Christmas Eve! I wasn’t allowed to take pictures during the show and I really wish I could have because Princess A’s facial expressions were priceless. She kept smiling at the Rockettes and then turning to The Husband as if to say, “Can you believe this”. She danced on our laps or hung upside down during the whole show and didn’t cry once. We were so lucky! Her favorite part though was at the end when she stuck her teething toy in my mouth and I bite down on it so it wouldn’t fall on the ground. Apparently me doing baby stuff is hysterical to her.

When we left the show Princess A got grumpy because it was time for her afternoon nap. I bit on the teething toy the whole subway ride home. Oh, what I will do to keep my child entertained!

I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas and has a fabulous time with their loved ones. Remember to stay glamorous and keep your cool because the holidays can be stressful!

Stay Glamorous,

(PB056) Russell Crawford: Floating Aimlessly

by Popboomerang

  • Streaming + Download

    Russell Crawford is the man floating aimlessly on a sweet potato with a heart full of classic pop! Read on!

    Russell Crawford started out playing drums while still at school and in the last few years has been recruited to sit on the stool for some high profile names such as Josh Pyke, Perry Keyes, Richard Clapton, Mark Seymour and last but not least, Australian pop/rock legends “Cotton, Keays, Morris” (Darryl Cotton from Zoot, Jim Keays from Masters Apprentice and Russell Morris).

    But let’s backtrack, Russell released his first EP “Hearing All That’s Heard” in late 2006 which received extensive radio airplay both in Australia and overseas. Influential USA label & music retailer Notlame remarked “Crawford has a gifted voice and a confident knack for writing dexterous pop songs. A breath of fresh air."

    Russell spent the next year promoting and touring the EP in solo mode but things came to an abrupt halt when “bad luck” struck and Russell fell victim to a crippling neck injury which put him flat on his back for six months.

    2008 saw Russell healthy and ready to take on the live music scene again. He wrote a bunch of new songs and recruited members for his live band “Russell Crawford & the Stickmen”. Russell’s appetite for pop music saw him drafted in to become hired gun session player for Josh Pyke (fulfilling bass, drums, guitar and piano duties on various tours and festivals). During this period he worked night & day to complete this debut album “Floating Aimlessly” which was recorded mostly in his home studio, with some finishing touches and mixing by Michael Carpenter at Love Hz Studios.

    “Floating Aimlessly” leaps into the listeners lap with the bouncy, biting, piano driven opening lament “Overachiever.” The kind of music that you would hear if “Ben Folds” jammed with “Niel Finn” with “Elvis Costello” chaperoning proceedings. Hot on its heels comes “Bad Luck” which sees Russell reminiscing about primary school days when luck was definitely not on his side!

    What pop album would be complete without a pair of odes to the ladies in our life. Russell gives a loud shout out to “Lisa” and tells her to wise up, wake up & get off the merry-go-round! and he also apologizes to “Melody” in the aptly titled harmony laden track where he implores her to hurry up & turn back up or at least meet him halfway in the game of who was wrong & who was right!

    You have to love a man who is not afraid to show his sexy sensitive side and Russell proudly wears his “SNAG” stripes up & down both shirt sleeves on songs such as “If You Ask Me”, “Don’t Be Upset” and “My Love”. Watch out fellers, keep an eye on your ladies as they are soon to be swooning in Mr. Crawford’s direction!

    The albums cornerstone & masterpiece is the epic “Nigel”. This is the “anthem” for the picked on, left out or teased in any way. All proud parents to be, should be given a copy of this song in pre-natal classes to make them think twice about some of the silly & thoughtless kids names they may be considering branding their unborn bubs with!

    On the run home Russell channels the spirit of “Little Richard” in the toe tapping, hip shaking, piano thumping 60’s pop doo wop “Shake It”; belts out his best late 70’s skinny tie power popping “Cheap Trick” inspired “Leave It All Behind” and finishes things off with a big revealing nod to his musical influences by covering Andrew Gold’s “Thank You For Being A Friend”.

    Russell Crawford has lovingly crafted a timeless pop album which may not be made for these times. For the moment he may be floating aimlessly on a sweet potato but Russell Crawford clearly has his sites set on taking the pop world by storm.

I live in Germany and everything here is in metric. But I use inch when I quilt. I think it's so much easyer to work in inch. The metric rulers are so confusing with all the different lines. But that is just my opinion.

Having started school just as metrification became official, I grew up with both systems - imperial at home and metric at school. I do find it very confusing as now my children only use metric. When they were tiny, I used to weigh them in metric for the chart in their baby records then convert it into "real money" but I basically measure their height in cm  as that's how clothes are sold! I cook in imperial as most of my books are that way (and the markings on the kitchen scale are bigger than the metric ones.)  My weight in kg means nothing without converting it back. I cannot visialise a journey in terms of km although I can convert it to miles.

I buy fabric in metres but use imperial for cutting - and that "extra" 3 inches of fabric can come in handy at times.

I am 60 years old and have used metric measurements for all aspects of life since the age of 11. Patchwork is the only activity that requires me to use the old Imperial system. I think we should have chenged over much more quickly than than this. We have procrastinated for far too long. I am always surprised when much younger people say that they have no idea what 10cm for example looks like. Perhaps it is because their teachers haven't fully converted to metric themselves. I taught primary school children from 1969 and taught them to estimate lengths and distances metrically from day 1. (So much easier than my own childhood when we used the full Imperial system which included terms such as rods,poles and perches as well as furlongs etc.)
I have lived in other countries and have had to deal withnon-metric measures including okes, rotalos, ells and fabric bought by weight not length. All converted back to metric in my mind.
Sorry for the rant, but I feel very strongly that the UK lost a chence to make life easier for all with its wishy-washy attitude on metrification.

Hello GM,
Sorry to be so formal!
I couldn't bear to work my patchwork out with metric, I can look at fabric and see the 1/4" straight away, and dead on, but if I have to do metric I am at a loss. Sorry.
My girls are metric my grand daughter is metric also. Just me.
Stuck. In my Imperial rut!
I agree with Kerstin its best for patchwork.

I'm not a great one for measuring anything, so who care's if its imperial or metric!  Live and let live, I say.

Hi GM,
I'm with the other the shop where I work we have to sell in both metric and we have ladies from over 4 generations coming in for their sewing needs.   No one seems to mind....everyone takes it in their stride.  In fact they are pleased we can convert back and forth quite easily.
I personally could never be without my feet and inches.  I cut metres and 1/2 metres for myself when I'm needing fabric, but when measuring for a quilt it's always inches.
It's what you're happy with is what's best....not trying to conform with what other people feel is appropriate.

We never had anything else but metric here in Germany and even though I used to live in the US and being in a British environment for over 30 years now I still find it hard to think imperial.
Cutting fabric inches is really confusing for me and I have managed to mess up the odd piece of material already.
The only time I find it easy is when I'm cooking as I have used british and american recipes now for approx 30 years as well. An ounce in my head is 30 grams, a pound is 450 grams (500 in Germany) and oven degrees are in my head, too. 350F is simply 180C. I can convert miles to km by multiplying with 1.6 and loosing a stone means 6.3kg
Now this gets me thinking.......will it take me 30 years to get used to inches? I do hope
Have a good one

I live in New Zealand where the whole country is metric EXCEPT Quilting. We buy all our rulers, cutting boards and patterns in imperial but purchase fabric in metric. unless ordering on line from USA. Somebody reviewed a quilting book and wrote a review in the paper ending by saying it would be such a hassle to have to convert everything in it. Obviously not reviewed by a quilter. Keeps the brain working.

Excerpt from GMB's post up above....

 {I taught primary school children from 1969 and taught them to estimate lengths and distances metrically from day 1. (So much easier than my own childhood when we used the full Imperial system which included terms such as rods,poles and perches as well as furlongs etc.}
I have re-read your message and find it hard to believe you were actually using rods poles and perches unless it was for curtains, fishing and birds of some sort. I am older than you and so was at school more or less the same time, we certainly didn't bother with any of those. Good old inches feet and yards were the norm.
I hate metric, I cannot relate 5 10 or whatever cms to inches on fabric. Also when buying clothes for my GD why must it be in metric? Why do we always have to follow others. I taught my girls to be individuals as they grew up, not just tag along with the others.
Oh dear, now I appear to be ranting!!!!!

Sample Bosnian cooking at Food Night

Pittsburgh's Bosnian community is offering the public a first taste of its culture and customs.

Specifically, the tastes will include roast lamb, meat (burek) and cheese (sirnica) pies, rice with traditional beef sauce (gulash), and some traditional sweets.

Bosnian Food Night starts at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Turkish Cultural Center at 1459 Crane Ave. in the city's Banksville neighborhood.

The Turkish community regularly holds food events there. Edvin Music was at a recent one and thought, Maybe we Bosnians should do something like that.

Like many of the roughly 2,000 Bosnians here, Mr. Music came here as a war refugee in the mid-1990s. Many of them settled in the Green Tree and Crafton areas, and many still are concentrated in and around Baldwin Borough, "but you can find us all over the place," says Mr. Music, who lives in Carnegie and works at the University of Pittsburgh doing IT for medical research projects.

It wasn't until relatively recently that some local Bosnians formed the nonprofit Islamic Community of Bosniaks in Pittsburgh, and that's the group that will cook this food and benefit from the $15-per-plate suggested donation.

The event fits right in with the group's mission to promote Bosnian culture, traditions and cultures, says Mr. Music, who is the group's newly elected president.

"Foods will bring everyone together," he says with a laugh.

Bosnian food shares a lot with Turkish and other cuisines, such as baklava, which is one of the desserts that will be served. "Anyone can claim that, but Bosnians claim it's our food," says Mr. Music. "Baklava is always good, so it doesn't matter."

Another famous dish is cevapi, ground meat rolls, which they won't be serving this time. But he points out that you can taste those and some other Bosnian delicacies at Fredo's Deli on Potomac Avenue in Dormont and at the Euro Market and Grill on Route 51 in Brentwood.

Bosnians also do lots of stews and their own take on cabbage rolls, which are rolled in fermented cabbage leaves. Mr. Music himself is not a cook and defers on the details to the women who are doing the cooking. "If you come, the women may tell you more information about those foods."

Hymn of the Day

24 April 2012

King David often compared God to a fortress, a strong tower and a refuge in times of trouble. The Tower of London may have provided shelter for kings and been a stronghold against their enemies but it had flaws and weaknesses. On the other hand, we have a Fortress that never fails.

A Mighty Fortress is our God

Words and Music by Martin Luther

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;

Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:

For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;

His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,

On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;

Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:

Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;

Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,

And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,

We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:

The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;

His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;

The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:

Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;

The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,

His kingdom is forever.

“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” (Psalm 18:2)

$21G money bag falls off armored truck leaving casino
Posted: August 20, 2014 - 4:18am

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Nearly $21,000 is missing after the cash fell from the roof of an armored truck that had picked it up from a soon-to-be-closed Atlantic City casino.

GardaWorld armored car services picked up the cash at Revel on Aug. 6.

An incident report obtained by The Press of Atlantic City says surveillance video showed the bag holding the cash on the rear driver's side roof as the truck left Revel. The bag was still on the roof when the truck pulled away from nearby Resort's Atlantic City.

It's not clear where the bag fell off.

GardaWorld spokesman Joe Gavaghan says the company is investigating and cooperating with law enforcement.

Revel will close its hotel on Sept. 1 and its casino on Sept. 2 because of financial problems.

BASE OF THE 46TH REGIMENT, Syria – After a nearly two-month siege, Syrian rebels overwhelmed a large military base in the north and made off with tanks, armored vehicles and truckloads of munitions that rebel leaders say will give them a boost in the fight against President Bashar Assad’s army.

The rebel capture of the base of the Syrian army’s 46th Regiment is a sharp blow to the government’s efforts to roll back rebel gains and shows a rising level of organization among opposition forces.

More important than the base’s fall, however, are the weapons the rebels found inside.

At a rebel base where the much of the haul was taken after the weekend victory, rebel fighters unloaded half a dozen large trucks piled high with boxes full of mortars, artillery shells, rockets and rifles taken from the base. Parked nearby were five tanks, two armored vehicles, two rocket launchers and two heavy-caliber artillery cannons.

Some 20 Syrian soldiers captured in the battle were put to work carrying munitions boxes, barefoot and shirtless.

“There has never been a battle before with this much booty,” said Gen. Ahmad al-Faj of the rebels’ Joint Command, a grouping of rebel brigades that was involved in the siege. Speaking on Monday at the rebel base, set up in a former customs office at Syria’s Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey, he said the haul would be distributed among the brigades.

For months, Syria’s rebels have gradually been destroying government checkpoints and taking over towns in the northern provinces of Idlib and Aleppo on the Turkish border.

Humiliated Michelle: “I’m not sure how much more I can take”

After Mark Wright is linked to another woman on a boozy night out, wife Michelle Keegan has had enough

Closer (UK) - - Inside This Issue... - By Daisy Mclure

He’s been partying H with his new Hollywood pal Mario Lopez in both London and Essex, and Mark Wright was forced to deny anything “untoward” happened after he was snapped with a “mystery brunette”, who he later explained was his friend’s girlfriend.

But insiders tell Closer the stories about Mark – who was seen downing shots of tequila and documented his boozy antics on social media – left his wife Michelle Keegan, 30, humiliated, saying she’s sick of the constant rumours about the state of their marriage. The actress recently returned to the UK, but is keeping a low profile.

A source says, “Michelle hated seeing the pictures of Mark out drinking with girls around him. She knows it was innocent and of course she trusts him, but she’s angry about all the speculation surrounding them.

“It’s just not a good look in her opinion. He’s a married man and trying to build a career as a serious TV presenter, and it’s frustrating to see him looking like he’s living up to his old TOWIE Lothario reputation.

“It was a lads’ night out and was being filmed for his TV show Extra, so Michelle decided to stay home, but seeing the reports the next day made her furious.”

Mark later took to Twitter, saying, “In our current society can men not speak to women aside from their wife without

people insinuating something untoward is happening?”

The pair have spent months apart from each other this year, after Mark relocated to LA in September to co-host entertainment show Extra, while Michelle has been abroad for months filming Our Girl.

Mark defended rumours of a rift last week, saying in an interview, “We speak 20 times a day [on the phone]” and calling her “the most special person in the world to me.”

But as Closer reported last week, insiders say there has been tension between the pair after Mark set up a string of meetings with TV companies in LA. According to insiders, Mark is hoping to secure a US reality show for the Wright family, and attended a string of showbiz parties with his parents and sisters Jessica, 32, and Natalya, 17, recently.

Sources say Mark and Michelle – who tied the knot in a lavish £1m ceremony in 2015 – are working hard to strike a balance to make their relationship work.

The source says, “Michelle knows Mark loves going out and is always the centre of attention, and he would never stop that. But she hates the drama that comes with it, so he’s vowed to be more careful. They’re determined to spend quality time together at Christmas.”

October 6, 2004: Perspective

James Steinberg illustration

Faces of an epidemic
A doctor goes from treating diplomats’ sprained ankles to caring for Africans ravaged by AIDS

By Lawrence Hill ’63

Larry Hill ’63 is an internist who has worked with the U.S. State Department since 1991.

The little boy was indeed little. We didn’t have a scale but I estimated that he was 2 years old and weighed 15 pounds. His aunt, who brought him to the small hospice where I was volunteering, across the highway from the cement factory some 10 miles south of Lusaka, Zambia, told us he was 4. The boy’s mother died months earlier, presumably of AIDS-related tuberculosis. On examination, the boy, whom I will call Tembo, was fiery hot and completely unresponsive. His neck was board-stiff; scratching the sole of his foot made his big toe go up, not down as it would in someone without severe brain or spinal cord disease. There was no escaping the diagnosis of meningitis in a child with AIDS. The meningitis could be caused by TB, by the now all-too-common – thanks to AIDS – cryptococcus fungus, or by a more garden-variety bacterium.

In a developed country, Tembo would have been transferred immediately to an intensive-care unit, and evaluated with an MRI and then a spinal tap. The fluid would have been analyzed to identify the causative micro-organism and specific treatment would have been directed to the illness. The first day in the hospital would probably generate, in the United States, a bill of $20,000 or more. Tembo, because of his far advanced immunodeficiency and malnutrition, almost certainly would have died anyway. The entire annual budget of this hospice in Lusaka, which had a constant inpatient census of 30 and an outpatient census 10 times that high, a rudimentary lab, and even more basic pharmacy, in addition to nearly three dozen employees, was $60,000. It was run by a 23-year-old volunteer from North Carolina who had come several months earlier to bridge her college and medical school years but who was soon thrust into the slot of chief operating officer when the European nun who had been running the place departed unexpectedly.

We had no spinal needle, let alone an MRI scanner, and treated our patients as health care workers of yesteryear did, using education, experience, and guesswork. We used antibacterial agents and drugs. Tembo’s fever went away, but he never awakened. He died on his fourth day in the hospital.

My home this year has been South Africa, a much wealthier country than Zambia. Here I attend clinic at Kalafong Hospital, a large public facility in Atteridgeville, a huge, poor township just outside Pretoria. The hospital is one of the sites of the rollout – long delayed by political and economic hurdles – of anti-retroviral agents (ARVs) for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Cecilia, a gaunt 38-year-old single mother of two, told me the following story: In 1999 she was abducted by three men as she was on her way home from work as a domestic servant. She was blindfolded and imprisoned in a room far from her home. During the next three days she was repeatedly raped. Almost unbelievably, two of the three men used condoms, presumably to protect themselves from her. The third kidnapper did not, and six months later, Cecilia was found to be HIV-positive.

By April 2004, her CD-4 count, the measure of how advanced the disease is, had dropped precariously. Thanks to the availability of ARVs at no cost to her and an affordable cost to the government, Cecilia began the three-drug cocktail most commonly used around the world. Since then, she has gained five kilos and is caring for her children again. It is too early to say how long the ARVs will help, but most of us think there is a very good chance that Cecilia will live a normal life-span, an unrealistic thought only a year ago, when ARVs were beyond the financial ability of all but a few South Africans.

At my graduation in 1963, Princeton President Robert F. Goheen ’40 said something to the effect: “Don’t do anything for more than 15 years. Life is too short.” I took that admonition to heart a bit more 15 years later when I gave up my internal medicine/oncology practice in Eureka, Calif., and joined the State Department. I had spent a couple of years with the Peace Corps in Venezuela in the late 1960s and so already had a taste of peripatetic medicine. My wife and I had lived in Mali, Bangladesh, and the Philippines before I did a brief stint at the mother house in Washington and we moved to South Africa. After four years of clinical work there and in a dozen other African and Indian Ocean countries, I was granted a sabbatical in Pretoria, with my only charge being to learn everything I could about HIV/AIDS in Africa – from the clinical, research, social, political, economic, and cultural standpoints. The sabbatical soon will be over. I’m being sent to Beijing, where I again will care for Americans with sprained ankles and diarrhea, but also will play a role in coping with the burgeoning AIDS epidemic in the world’s most populous nation.

The statistics that define the pandemic are familiar to anyone who reads a newspaper. Sub-Saharan Africa has more than 30 million HIV-positive citizens, virtually all of whom will need ARVs or will die prematurely. South Africa, with 5.2 million such patients, more than any other country, registers some 1,000 deaths per day from AIDS. The average life span in Southern Africa, believed to have reached over 60, now is, or soon will be, less than 40. Where massive overpopulation was the great fear a few years ago, the populations of several southern African countries will drop. Perhaps most distressing is what this awful disease is doing to children – UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS, recently announced that there are more than 1 million AIDS orphans in South Africa. The planet has never before seen an epidemic like this one; one can only pray that it never will see another.

Today, there are many more Tembos than there are Cecilias – only a tiny fraction of those whose lives could be saved with modern medicine are being saved. I am honored to have played a role in those two lives and to have been involved with those of many others as they battled this disease that wasn’t identified until 20 years after I graduated from medical school. For a wizened internist whose 40th Princeton reunion is history, I’m a very lucky man. end of article

Bill Bruford - Bruford: Feels Good To Me CD (album) cover

Bill Bruford

Jazz Rock/Fusion

3.95 | 184 ratings

From, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Prog Reviewer
4 stars The fact that Bill deeply contributed to the world of Prog rock/Art Rock and Jazz/Fusion has infiltrated Fan and the listener. The fact that always took an active part Bill in the front, maintained the career for 40 years, and had reformed it was surprising still event. The concept of his music had already had another directionality at time when Yes announced "Fragile" and "Close To The Edge" though Bill always tried reforming after it was on the register in "Yes".

Bill that felt the doubt in the music of "Yes" that pursued a perfect music character moved the place of the reformation to King Crimson. And, it is true that he caught the age with the collapse of Crimson in the middle of the 70's. And, the fact that he requested perfection from the music character again in no small way can be discovered in his of this band. I always feel the fact that he pursued for perfection besides Yes appearance of the expression to his music. He is not a translation in this band at all from which the same perfection as Yes is requested. It is guessed that his pursuit was sent from another angle. It is guessed that it had the sensibility since time when the story of the formation of "Wakeman,Wetton&Bruford" has already lifted. It became one answer by ..flow.. "U.K." after all.

And, to pursue my music character further, Bill that had expanded networks since Crimson formed my of this band. His sensibility has been installed on a natural phenomenon with the member of the band. It is helped by the musician who trusts by him and respects it and Bill also answers the zeal. It is music with high quality from which it is unfolded here. I memorize saying Bill that it was not confident of the ability of the composition till then. However, the support of Dave and Allan is guessed that the width of the music of Bill is surely expanded and Bill was influenced from it, too.

"Back To The Beginning" where "Beelzebub" where it begins to spin a complex rhythm by a perfect arrangement and the rhythm and the extent tension that has succeeded it exist Bass of tune "If You Can't Stand The Heat..." Jeff where each individuality shines by the tune that cannot be likely to be done except this member shines really.

After a temporary collapse of Crimson, we were able to see the music at this time according to another angle. It accompanied the unpredictable quality and the necessity. And, it is possible to listen to a high performance of the quality by a special musician who derives from Prog Rock in this album. This level whose fact that appoints the song of the trumpet and Annette Peacock of famous Kenny Wheeler is an album in the world of Jazz, too might succeeded. Anyway, Bill believed my sensibility at this time and worked on music obediently.

Collaborators/Experts Reviews

Review by Moatilliatta
2 stars This album should have been good. As the Poets Affirm have a very standard post-rock sound with the embellishments of a cello and a pocket trumpet for good measure, with a very lush sound and even some underlying jazz influences, but things just never get off the ground. Besides not having a stand-out sound, the songs just lack memorability. As I am writing this review, I can't even think of any songs to mention for any reason whatsoever. Nothing struck me in a bad way, but nothing struck me in a good way either. It's just plain mediocre. [After going back to look for something I can highlight, I think "The Snick-Berry Switch" is a nice piece with a particularly nice, simple melody toward the end by the cello.] The band has a lot of good ideas, and instrumental interplay; there is no doubt about it. It all feels genuine and even sounds good. You can go listen to some clips online and I guarentee that if you're at all into post-rock you will feel intrigued enough to listen to some more clips, and probably even delve into a full album. Then, you will realize that getting through the whole thing is rather difficult. Something doesn't connect, and all of those good ideas that sound good in 30 second clips just don't make magic together. If you don't have time to read medium-sized paragraph, just read this one. The album is, unfortunately, a dud. If you're a post-rock fiend, you will probably like this enough to throw it on sometimes. Even then, it won't satisfy you like, say, Godspeed or Explosions in the Sky.

I did see that the band has gone in a wildly different direction since this album. I haven't heard much of it, but hopefully the change has allowed them to unlock the clear potential they have.

LIFE by Charles Mee

Posted by MB - July 5, 2017

What do we turn to when faced with life’s limits? Project Y Theatre experiments with the world premiere of Charles Mee’s LIFE, a series of striking moments where characters must face the limits of love, security, and meaning.

About the Play

Charles (Chuck) Mee writes plays that, instead of following one developing story, are an accumulation of “images and music and other events” in contrasting, vivid scenes that make up a theatrical collage. Mee wants to “to invite people to let their minds roam over the material–not only the material that’s onstage, but the material that these other things will make them think about. … People have to find their own way through and arrive at their own conclusions. This is a democratic process, a participatory process.”

This collage is also like sampling as Mee incorporates found texts and imagery, particularly visual art references. Mee has said, “I think of those borrowed texts as historical documents, taken from the culture. People are karaokeing, in a way.”

Mee’s collages also come from an impulse to capture the complexity and the beauty of life. For years Mee has been quoting Nietzsche and arguing that “people make up stories to reassure themselves. The experience of our lives is not a story, it’s a collection of vivid moments. …That’s what our lives are made of. That’s the truth of our lives.” This is the heart of Life. And in its juxtaposing collage of scenes, it asks what can we really know, given the impermanence of love, the slipperiness of security, and the evasiveness of meaning? And how should that affect our lives?

The answers to those questions are yours to decide. And, in the meanwhile, here are words spoken early in the play to keep in mind:

Well, I think what we can say now
more than that
is that everyone
meaningless or not
is a work of art.
And therefore an extraordinary

WIT logo final version 1

*Writers include Crystal Skillman, Chiori Miyagawa, Caridad Svich & Pia Wilson*

Plays premiere this summer as part of the Women in Theatre Festival

June 1 – 24 at The A.R.T./New York Theatres

In an effort to broaden opportunities for women playwrights, Project Y Theatre Company has commissioned nine female playwrights in two separate productions, Great Again, an evening of plays by Crystal Skillman and Chiori Miyagawa, and The Hrosthvitha Project, 7 adaptations of the 10th century female-written play “Dulcitius” written by playwrights Caridad Svich, Pia Wilson, Julienne Hairston, Michole Biancosino, Lia Romeo, Stacie Lents, and Erin Mallon.

Great Again is an evening of plays in two parts: Test by Crystal Skillman (directed by Jessi D. Hill) and In the Line by Chiori Miyagawa (directed by Kristin Horton and choreographed by Sonoko Kawahara). Both plays were commissioned by Project Y Theatre Company and written as a response to the November 2016 election. Together they will receive full productions as part of the Women in Theatre Festival, June 1-24th 2017 at The A.R.T./New York Theatres.

In Test, by Crystal Skillman, an English teacher in a struggling high school readies her junior students for the most important test of their lives. But when a symbol of hate appears in her classroom, she and two students on either side of the recent election, find their lives forever changed.

Chiori Miyagawa’s In the Line revolves around a woman who drops something while standing in a long line of people. She looks for the lost object as the line transforms into other lines – people waiting to vote, to buy the newest Nintendo, to get into the hottest restaurant – as she struggles to keep her original place.  When she finally arrives at the front of this line that has shifted time and space, what she finds is a surprise. It is a magical exploration of loss, long lines, and letting go.

The Hrosthvitha Project will feature two nights of staged readings of new commissioned short plays. These adaptations will reclaim a piece of women’s theatre history by highlighting the first female and first German language playwright, Hrostvitha of Gandersham, while also making her work relevant and resonant to a modern audience through fresh adaptations by playwrights Caridad Svich, Pia Wilson, Julienne Hairston, Michole Biancosino, Lia Romeo, Stacie Lents, and Erin Mallon.

Chiori Miyagawa Photo by Jody Christopherson

Chiori Miyagawa (Playwright – In the Line) is a playwright, an educator, and a New York City registered voter. Her plays vary in subject and style, yet they all bear a unique signature—elements of magic realism, collapsed time, and a theme of memory and identity. They have been produced off-Broadway, at renowned performance houses in NYC, and regionally. Currently, she is working on a libretto based on her play This Lingering Life, which premiered in San Francisco in 2014, in collaboration with renowned librettist Mark Campbell (Pulitzer Prize, Silent Night) and composer Anne LeBaron. Twelve of Chiori’s plays are collected in two books: Thousand Years Waiting and Other Plays, published by Seagull Books and America Dreaming and Other Plays, is published by NoPassport Press. Her work has been supported by many fellowships and grants including a New York Foundation for the Arts Playwriting Fellowship, a McKnight Playwriting Fellowship, a Van Lier Playwriting Fellowship, an Asian Cultural Council Fellowship, a Rockefeller Bellagio Residency Fellowship in Italy, MAP Fund (twice from the Rockefeller Foundation and once from Creative Capital), and a Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies Fellowship at Harvard University. She is an alumnus playwright of New Dramatists, a member playwright of Lark Play Development Center, and a Usual Suspect of New York Theatre Workshop. She teaches playwriting at Bard College.

Great Again and The Hrostvitha Project will be presented by Project Y Theatre Company as part of their 2nd Annual Women in Theatre Festival running June 1-24th, 2017 at The A.R.T./New York Theatres (502 West 53rd Street, off 10th Avenue).

Since Recession, Home Prices Recovering Nationally But Connecticut Falls Short

CoreLogic recently released its Home Price Index (HPI) Report, forecasting a return to pre-crisis peaks (adjusted for inflation) by mid-2017. The Index evaluates and disseminates national and state-level trends in home prices and projects future housing trends. The report finds that home prices in November 2016 had increased nationally by 1.1% since October 2016, and 7.1% since November 2015. These figures are on trend with home prices that have continued to rise on a year-over-year basis every month since the market began to recover in February 2012.

Although national trends show increases, Connecticut was the only state to show negative price appreciation, dropping by 0.5%, in a year-over-year comparison. Connecticut is also one of the five states furthest from peak home values, at 20.1% below peak value. However, CoreLogic forecasts that Connecticut will see a 4.6% increase by this time next year, aligning with the national forecast of a 4.7% increase in home prices.

Ok, I'll try to make this as not tl;dr as possible.

Since early May, I have been running a text RPG based on the unexplored region known as the Orange Islands. Why Nintendo never made this region into a game, I'll never know. Anyway, since the beginning, we (the staff and I) had been intent on having a few fake Pokemon in the RPG. At the beginning, we were donated some scrap sprites from PokeRealm users Oykawoo and Novoni (yes, the same Oykawoo and Novoni who are spriters for PokeRealm's Pokemon Topaz project). Then, in July, Novoni began spriting concepts for us, and about a week ago, Novoni allowed me to use the sprites that she was making for her fakedex into the RPG. Now, we have a fakedex with over 40 Pokemon, and it's not nearly done. I won't show the whole Fakedex here, but I'll give you guys a sample by posting the starters:

Note: No using ANY of these sprites without conesnt from me AND the sprite's original creator!

Baby Koala Pokémon
KOALEAF are native to tropical islands, where they spend most of their time wandering between trees. Despite they're appearance, they are very quick climbers, and camouflage well in treetops.
Evolves into Eucoala at level 16

Leaf Koala Pokémon
EUCOALA are quite heavy for their size. Because of this, they have developed their limb muscles in order to be able to climb trees. They are also known for being able to use fighting type attacks with efficiency.
Evolves from Koleaf at level 16
Evolves into Koalyptus at level 36

Image Image
Grass Koala Pokémon
KOALYPTUS are much heavier than their previous form, EUCOALA. Due to this, they have developed amazing arm strength. They sometime walk on their hands while they train. KOALYPTUS are too big to fit in most trees, so they mostly live in dense forests with thick trees that can hold their weight.
Evolves from Eucoala at level 36

Baby Kangaroo Pokémon
PYROO tire themselves out quickly when moving, since their only way of moving quickly is by hopping, and their leg muscles have not developed yet. Instead, mother WALLARO carry them around until their legs develop enough for them to travel on their own.
Evolves into Pyoby at level 16

Kangaroo Pokémon
PYROBY, unlike PYROO, have strong legs, allowing them to jump over four feet into the air with relative ease. They can also jump quite a few feet forwards without any effort. In battle, they use this to quickly cut off fleeing opponents by jumping over them.
Evolves from Pyroby at level 16
Evolves into Wallaro at level 36

Flame Kangaroo Pokémon
WALLARO release heat from small openings at the bottom of their feet, allowing them to jump even higher. They don't have much arm strength though, so they rely mostly on their amazingly powerful legs in battle. They can use the openings at the bottom of their feet to launch full blown fire attacks as well.
Evolves from Pyroby at level 36

Baby Platypus Pokémon
PATTLE spend most of their time in shallow water. They can commonly be found sleeping near beaches. They can hardly move on land, but can swim with amazing speed when in the water.
Evolves into Plattail at level 16

Platypus Pokémon
Due to their flexible feet, PLATTAIL have trouble walking on land, as their feet can't support the weight without folding into themselves. Instead, they slide themselves forward with all four limbs.
Evolves from Pattle at level 16
Evolves into Tsunamic at level 36

Image Image
Poison Platypus Pokémon
TSUNAMIC, unlike its previous stages, has firm feet, making it just as dangerous on land as it is in the water. It has poison sacs hidden under its skin, and it can release the poison from sweat-like pores scattered all over its body.
Evolves from Plattail at level 36

All above sprites - Novoni
All above shinies - Trainer X
All above Pokedex entries - Trainer X

Does anybody know the BBCode for centering? The [align=center] one usually works, but for some reason it's not working here. Same with [center], but that never works anyway. Anyway, the sprites look a little up and down right now (like one sprite is higher up than another), but they look better on the actual RPG.

So what do you guys think of the sprites? Like them? Well, those are only our starters! If you want to see all the sprites that we have so more, click the following link: ... wtopic=472

Or if you want to visit the index of our forums, try this link: ... hp?act=idx

Anyway, this thread isn't just to advertise for the Text RPG. We're also in need of more spriters. If you'd like to become a spriter for this project, either post a sample of one of your spriters (only scratches, nothing else accepted), or ask for one of our concepts to sprite. Anyway, I guess that's all I have to say, so comment here or visit our site!

P.S: Also interested in affiliating with other sites/forums, PM me for details. Dunno if that's allowed here, but if it's not, just tell me and I'll edit it out.

How to Get Healthy Looking Eyes

Healthy looking eyes are the dream of very fit and good looking person. This is not because for beauty but for good sight and proper functioning of eyes. Healthy looking eyes can we achieved easily if proper care is taken and some simple rules to followed.

Eating a well-proportioned diet also helps you preserve a healthy weight, which makes you less probable to get obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults. This will assure you healthy looking eyes.

Don’t Smoke:

Smoking makes you more probable to get cataracts, optic nerve damage, and macular degeneration. If you’ve strained to quit smoking before and started smoking again, keep exasperating. The more times you try to leave smoking, the more likely you are to succeed.

Tea bags are the calmest and convenient cure to use. Both green tea and black tea comprise bioflavonoids. Tea bags will help to lessen bacteria and frustration. Dwell wet tea bags in the freezer to wintry. Smear olive oil with a cotton ball on your eyes, while you nippy the tea bags. Place these chilled tea bags on your eyes. Leave them on for ten minutes and wash your face. This will provide you healthy looking eyes.

Men's Swimming Sends Five to the NCAA's.

Four-time All-American Vilmos Kovacs will swim three events.

March 12, 1998

The Purdue men's swimming and diving program was notified today that five swimmers have qualified for the NCAA Championships held March 26-28 in Auburn, Ala.

Four-time All-American Vilmos Kovacs will swim both the 100 and 200 breaststroke and the 200 medley relay. Seniors Frank Smardo and Mike Ullom lead the 200 freestyle relay team that qualified with a varsity record time of 1:19.50. Joining this duo will be junior Kirk Larsen and freshman David Weis. Ullom and Larsen will also swim the 100 freestyle while Smardo will swim the 50 freestyle. The group will also swim the 400 freestyle relay.

Any combination of these freestylers will also join Kovacs on the 200 medley relay team. "With the relay team getting in, this really maximizes our point potential," said head coach Dan Ross. A year ago, the Boilermaker squad finished 19th at the NCAA Championships behind great performances from Kovacs and then-senior Matt Brown. "Last year we had two individuals with strong performances which gave us points," Ross added. "This year we only have one. But if the relay team can pick up the slack, we'll be in good shape." Senior Marisa Watts has qualified for the women's NCAA Championships held March 19-21 in Minneapolis, Minn. She will swim the 500 and 1650 freestyle.

Divers Brandon Gustafson and Kara Hajek will be in action at the NCAA Zone diving meet held at Miami (Ohio) University beginning tomorrow. By qualifying for the meet earlier in the season, the two have a chance to gain valuable experience diving at a big meet with the chance of qualifying for the NCAA meet.
