|Salinity tolerance of larvae of the mangrove red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus) during ontogeny|
Estudillo, Ch.B.; Duray, M.N.; Marasigan, E.T.; Emata, A.C. (2000). Salinity tolerance of larvae of the mangrove red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus) during ontogeny. Aquaculture 190: 155-167

Salinity tolerance and the effects of salinity on growth, condition factor and chloride cell (CC) densities were evaluated for Lutjanus argentimaculatus larvae during ontogeny. Tolerance of L. argentimaculatus larvae to abrupt changes of salinity from 32 ppt varied with age. Periods to 50% mortality (LT50) were significantly (P<0.05) longer for 0-day-old larvae than for 7-, 14- and 21-day-old larvae. Tolerance of abrupt salinity change increased remarkably, starting on day 28. Although abrupt transfer to test salinities caused substantial mortalities, L. argentimaculatus larvae, regardless of age (0-, 7-, 14-day-old), showed significantly longer LT50 when abruptly transferred to 8 and 16 ppt than for transfers to 24 and 40 ppt (P<0.05). Growth of L. argentimaculatus larvae at 16, 24, 32 (control) and 40 ppt was not significantly different either at the end of the first rearing phase (days 0-21) or second phase of rearing (days 22-50). Survival was significantly lowest at 40 ppt (4.3%) at the end of first phase of rearing (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in survival rates at the end of the second phase of rearing; however, the condition factor (K) of larvae reared at lower salinities was significantly higher than that of fish at 40 ppt (P<0.05). Gill epithelia of 42- and 50-day-old larvae showed increasing density of CC with increasing salinity.

National security threats are drawing the U.S. Coast Guard deeper into the Asia-Pacific region as it carries out its conventional missions in unconventional areas. Piracy, drug smuggling and even overfishing are becoming more prevalent in U.S. and neighboring waters, and the Coast Guard is finding itself forming alliances with foreign counterparts. Rear Adm. Manson Brown, USCG, commander, 14th Coast Guard District, outlined several national security aspects of its stewardship mission to a Tuesday luncheon audience at TechNet Asia-Pacific 2009, held in Honolulu, Hawaii, November 2-5. Protecting our precious fisheries are a national security issue, particularly as small island nations depend on fishing for food and commerce. If commercial concerns brazenly break rules and overfish, the well being of these nations is threatened, he stated. Food security is a top issue with each of these countries. However, it can be hard to get multiple nations to agree on something, he allowed. So the Coast Guard is entering into bilateral agreements to pursue joint interests in the vast region. Adm. Brown cited as an example how U.S. Coast Guard surveillance and reconnaissance information passed to its counterpart in Kiribati helped that small island nation catch illegal fishing in its waters. Apprehending the illegal fishers both stopped them and generated $4.7 million in fines revenue for Kiribati.

11 Mar Toilet Paper Memes and QR Codes
What do toilet paper memes and QR codes have to do with photo management? Read on to find out.
In today’s blog I recap the 4 part process I followed to create my 2020 Family Photo Book.
Photo books have been part of my life for over 20 years. Firstly, as a way to preserve my extended family history, using photos I had scanned. Then when I married and had a family of my own, to ensure that photos were in our lives in a tangible way. I consistently create an annual photo book and special books for milestone events or big holidays.
Here is the 4 part process I used for our 2020 Family Photo Book.
Step 1 – COLLECT
Each month throughout 2020 I made my way through the steps of our MOON Walk to manage my photos. Collecting photos from various devices, filing, naming and tagging them. You can download the steps of my monthly photo management system here. In addition to the moonwalk I also made a short journal entry. I did this monthly so that my perspective would be time sensitive and I would be documenting my feelings in the moment rather than the record being reflective over 12 months later. No right or wrong here, long term reflection is fine too. I simply find it gets done if I do it in bite size chunks and it puts less pressure on my memory.
By working on my photos and journal each month I find the task of creating an annual photo book to be much less overwhelming. I also love reading back on my journal entries to see how much I had forgotten and how my perspective changes over 12 months.
TIME: 20-30 minutes per month depending on what we did and where we went that month.
Step 2 – CULL
Not every photo I keep in my digital photo hub is ‘book worthy’.
There are 1,145 photos in my 2020 folder. There are 12 sub folders (one for each month) within that. In the ‘cull’ step of my book creation process I visited each of the 12 month folders and selected my favourites from each month.
TIME: It took me 31 mins and 5 seconds to select the 283 photos I wanted to include in my book.
CONFESSSION: If you have read this blog for a long time you might have heard me say that picking favourite photos is something I do each month as part of my monthly management. Well in 2020 I did not take that step, but you can see that it still only took me half an hour to choose them.
Step 3 – CURATE
2020 as you all know was all about COVID, toilet paper memes and QR code check ins! Over the 12 months I had also collected 60 of my favourite memes. I turned these into a collage (using Canva) that I wanted to use in my book.
Being the year of checking in to venues via QR Code and with the advent of helpful sites like QRCode Monkey this year I also wanted to curate my short video files to include in my photo book.
TIME: It took me 90 minutes to select the short videos (5 sec-2 mins per video) to include and turn them into longer snapshot of each month using the basic video editor native to my Windows PC. I imported those videos to YouTube and marked them as unlisted. I then followed the simple instructions on QRCode Monkey to create and download a QR Code image to insert in my book design.
The book hadn’t even been ordered yet and the kids started clamouring to see it just so that they can scan those codes! Already a big hit.
EFFICIENCY HACK: This year I plan to break up this segment of the process and curate my videos each month so that those QR codes are ready to go just like my journal entries. Adding 90 minutes to my annual photo book creation process felt too heavy for me and I like it to be a nice light and enjoyable experience.
Part 4 – CREATE
Each year I include the same basic elements in my annual photo book design. Those elements are;
- Title Page
- Kids 21 questions summary double page spread (these are the questions I ask my kids on their birthday each year… at 10 and 12 it is getting much harder to get them to engage in this but I will persevere!)
- Monthly ‘Hero Image’ with journal entry (one large image plus half a page text)
- Photos I have chosen to represent each month (see step 1 & 2)
- Double page spread ‘year in review’ that includes some world events, news, what we were watching on TV, favourite movies and books.
TIME: using the same pattern of layouts I was able to design the 100-page book in 90 minutes.
So, there you have it;
.5.5 hours for a whiz bang all the bells and whistles (aka journaling and QRcoded videos) annual photo book. Longer than usual with the QR Codes but a bigger all-encompassing memory book as the output.
Let’s put that into realistic terms – aka Netflix binging terms!
- The Crown – 40 hours (seasons 1-4)
- Bridgerton – 8 hours
- Schitts Creek – 26.6 hours (seasons 1-6)
I think you might see where I am going with this…….
YOU DO HAVE TIME to manage your photos AND to create tangible memories with them!

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The 24th-ranked men’s tennis team (13-2, 3-1 SEC) picked up a 4-0 win Thursday over No. 56 Middle Tennessee State (7-8, 0-0 Sun Belt) to advance to the next round of the Blue Gray National Collegiate Tennis Classic held at Lagoon Park Tennis Center.
“Middle Tennessee is a dangerous team,” said head coach Billy Pate. “They’ve had some injuries and even with that really gave us a tough match. We knew it was going to be a battle going in.”
Alabama pulled ahead early after earning the doubles point over the Blue Raiders. First off the court for the Tide was the 49th-ranked duo of senior Billy Mertz and junior Saketh Myneni with a dominant 8-3 win at No. 2 over senior Morgan Richard and junior Alex McCann. The Blue Raiders 51st-ranked pair of sophomore John Peers and senior Robert McKenzie evened things up shortly after with an 8-4 win at No. 1 over Alabama seniors Dan Buikema and Mathieu Thibaudeau, who are currently ranked No. 35. With all the pressure on court three, senior Andrew Felsenthal and freshman Ricky Doverspike delivered as they secured the doubles point with an 8-4 win over junior Victor Melo and freshman Matthew Langley.
Before anyone could blink, Mertz was off the court at No. 5 singles with a commanding 6-1, 6-1 win over McCann to give the Tide a 2-0 advantage. Fellow senior Michael Jung was easily in control of his match as well defeating Langley at No. 6 6-1, 6-3. The remaining four matches were extremely close with two forced to a first-set tiebreak. With Alabama in need of just one more point to secure the match, both freshman Michael Thompson and Myneni were serving for match point on their respective courts. It would be Thompson finishing first at No. 3 with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Melo to send the Tide to the advancing draw.
Next up, Alabama plays No. 29 Wisconsin on Friday, March 20 at 11:00 a.m. (CST). The Badgers advanced by beating No. 75 Hawaii 4-2 on Thursday.
“It was good for us to get the doubles point and get off the courts fairly quickly,” added Pate. “That will help us to rest and prepare for tomorrow. Our match against Wisconsin is going to be another grind similar to today’s match.”

Posted on the 28th Feb 2017 in the category Statements
The Bishop of Wakefield has issued the following statement on behalf of the Council of Bishops of The Society.
We are confident that the ministry of Bishop Philip North as Bishop of Sheffield will make a very significant contribution to the life and mission of the Church. We have been delighted by the welcome that his nomination has received from representatives of a wide range of traditions in the Diocese of Sheffield and in the Church of England more widely. The support expressed by many female clergy who have experience of his ministry and gifts is especially encouraging. Their response gives grounds for hope that the Five Guiding Principles and the spirit of mutual flourishing that they embody have begun to permeate through the Church of England.
We have also noted critical comments. Some of them have referred to the cards that are issued to Priests of The Society. The card merely states, ‘Fr John Smith is a Priest of The Society’, and that it is only valid while the priest holds a benefice, licence or permission to officiate in the Church of England. The cards are no different from the membership cards that are issued by many organizations. They are not available to priests who have not chosen to become Priests of The Society. We understand that the way in which the cards have been described has created a different impression, and wish to express our regret at the offence that this has caused.
In our 2015 statement ‘A Catholic Life in the Church of England’ we said: ‘We reject any so-called “theology of taint” whereby a bishop who ordains women to the episcopate or the priesthood thereby invalidates his own orders and renders invalid the orders of those whom he subsequently ordains.’ We made it clear that priests ordained by such bishops are welcomed as Priests of The Society. We are disappointed that our beliefs continue to be misrepresented.
One of the many aspects of Bishop Philip’s ministry which is exemplary is the fact that he values, and works happily with, both female and male clergy of different traditions. As bishops of The Society, we expect its clergy and people to respect all whom the Church of England has ordained and appointed to office, and to work with them in a spirit of mutual flourishing. The Five Guiding Principles, to which we are wholeheartedly committed, require this not only of the rest of the Church of England but also of us.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has described the House of Bishops’ Declaration as ‘a promise to love one another’. We call on all involved in the discussions that have arisen to recommit themselves to that promise, as we do ourselves.
Tomorrow sees the beginning of Lent – a season of prayer, reflection and spiritual renewal. We hope that throughout this season people will continue to pray for Bishop Philip and the people of the Diocese of Sheffield.
The Rt Revd Tony Robinson
Chairman of the Council of Bishops
Posted on the 7th Feb 2017 in the category Announcements

When Miss Marnie reached 6 months it was such a fun time. So much seemed to happen at once – from sitting up to weaning, her first tooth and really seeming to be aware of her surroundings. Although, I love the fact that she walking now there is something to be said for when they are happy to sit, play and not move – at least you know where they are at all times!
Miss Marnie loves music – making the Leapfrog table a great buy. We managed to get this on eBay for half the original price. There really is so many good toys to be found second hand.
I used to think this was a bit mean to buy her used toys – but when you start to realise that they play with them for such short periods it makes sense. And, of course this is the same for everyone so second-hand toys are hardly used really.
We also invested in the Rainforest Jumperoo – all my NCT mamas were talking and raving about it – it seemed only fair that Miss Marnie had one too! The power of ‘mamas’ eh? They’re expensive but I think it really helped Miss M with her balance and standing.
Although, Mr VIB started singing the Milky Bar Kid song to the tune it plays when being bounced – and, then we could never get it out of our head! (And, sorry now neither will you!).
Ok, so here goes. Fab and classic toys and educational aids for 6 – 12 month old’s:
1. Learn & Groove Musical Table from Leapfrog at Amazon – With singing, music, numbers, alphabet and shapes – this is a great play-while-learning toy. The legs detach meaning baby can play with it on the floor too (and making it great for storage/travel!) Miss Marnie loved this when she was first standing as she could hold onto it and shuffle her way around. I think this particular style is hard to find now as Leapfrog have an updated version but it’s worth looking on eBay for this classic style.
2. Pop N’ Sing Apple from VTech – Press the heart shape and baby will get a surprise – a popping, light up worm. This drove Miss Marnie and me crazy for very different reasons!
3. Safari Pop-Up Animals from Mothercare – This is just one version of various pop-up animal toys – there are lots of different styles. The most important thing is that the button is easy to press, the pop-up is fast and that they don’t get stuck (like the many you will encounter at soft play groups!)
4. Stacking Cups from Marks & Spencer – I love that these are bright colours and have bold number designs on – needless to say whenever we are stacking this up there was always one missing (to be found under the sofa usually!)
5. Wooden My first 5 in 1 Activity Cube from EverEarth – A lovely wooden learning cube (I do love a classic wooden toy!) It will keep baby happy for hours. These are an investment buy – but they are sturdy and will last for years.
6. Bendy Bug Highchair Toy from Lamaze – Mr VIB named him Alan – as he was convinced he was a Alien rather than a bug. So, ever since Miss Marnie started weaning Alan the Alien has provided much entertainment at mealtimes. She swatted and rattled him until his sucker could take no more and he fell on the floor (usually on our poor cat Pinto’s head!)
7. Rainforest Jumperoo from Fisher Price – Once Miss Marnie could hold her head – this all singing and jumping bouncer came into its own. With toys overhead, an activity tray and music and animal sounds – it delights for hours. Ideal to for mamas who quickly need to pop to the loo/open the front door/ get dressed. Numerous times I placed Miss M in this outside the bathroom door while I took a speedy shower. Worth looking for second hand – they are always at nearly new sales – as again it has a bit of a lifespan because once they’re more wiggly they want to climb out.
|Alan even came to Pizza Express with us!|
|When Miss Marnie first went in this we placed a soft toy under
her feet as she couldn’t reach the floor and therefore ‘jump’!

The new science-fiction/horror film ”Star Leaf” has found itself a fan in the Torrent community.
The acclaimed film is on the top 10 of one of the most popular torrents (Kickass Torrents) site in the world.
“For a small micro-budget feature to be competing like that is pretty impressive. How many 30k indies are torrented like Star Leaf? We’ve had over 30k YouTube hits on the trailer in 2 days and it’s not stopping,” says writer/director Richard Cranor.
“Star Leaf” is one of the top downloads on the file sharing website, alongside big studio films like “Creed” and “Hotel Transylvania 2”.
The film, the brainchild of Cranor, who also co-stars in the film, and former “Earth: The Final Conflict” star Robert Leeshock, has been applauded for its handling of PTSD. In the movie, a group of friends set off to find a secret forest of marijuana hidden deep in the Olympic Mountains. Legend has it the plants are of extra-terrestrial origin, and two ex-Marines among the group hope it will cure their PTSD born from hard combat in Afghanistan.
”Star Leaf” is available on DVD and Digital.

There is certainly a array of vibrators which you can use and worn during penetrative sexual activity. Several of such as vibrating strap-ons, cock bands and mini-vibes that slot in to the vagina combined with the penis.
Vibrators like the bullet are ideal for clitoral stimulation during sexual intercourse. Jobs like doggy design yet others where in fact the clitoris is available are ideal for such vibratory play. While adult sex toys have traditionally been related to clitoral stimulation or penetration, vibrating cock bands are available in a number of size and shapes. They truly are ideal for partners since the vibration will stimulate her G-spot whilst the constriction around their shaft increases their erectile function.
A way that is wonderfully creative may use intimate toys is within the water. Just be sure the dildo is 100% waterproof and submersible like Crescendo and Tenuto!

Happy Monday to all! Hopefully all the Americans here have fingers and eyebrows intact.
Pretty much all of last Friday’s sales except Spider-Island are still going on, so check those out.
A sampling of Archie titles are on sale through next Monday night.
Best Value: All of these are 50% off, but I would point to the three Best of Archie volumes.
My Recommendation: Archie has been surprisingly good recently. Look at the more recent issues and grab some of those. I would definitely recommend the final issue of Archie v1 (issue #666 oddly enough). Unfortunately the highly acclaimed Archie Horror titles are not on this sale, sorry.
The complete Age of Apocalypse (or almost complete as the Age of Apocalypse series from three years ago isn’t here) is on sale today from Marvel.
Best Value: The bookend one-shots- X-Men Alpha, X-Men Omega, and X-Men Prime- all have the highest page count. Prime is kind of stand-alone-ish, but the others wouldn’t be as good without the story in the middle.
My Recommendation: My favorite two of all of these titles are Astonishing X-Men and Weapon X. Amazing X-Men is pretty good too. In Astonishing, I love the Blink/Sabretooth relationship, and if Marvel was smart they’d base the newly reformed Sabretooth largely on this version. Weapon X is just a damn good Wolverine story.
That’s all that’s new today. Now go read some damn comics!

Is it time to stop the jokes about our 3-4 DEs? It has become a popular thing to do since the Chiefs switched to the 3-4 and drafted Tyson Jackson with the 3rd overall pick. Talking about the wasted top five picks, talking about Dorsey being out of position, talking about trading Dorsey, talking about Jackson being a huge bust as a #3 pick, and most of all talking about how the alleged role as a “block eater” in the 3-4 defense is just a cover so that these two guys don’t look so bad.
Most agree that the KC defense is on the verge of becoming an elite unit. However, when we talk about the Chiefs defense it is always the linebackers (Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson, and the emerging Justin Houston) and the secondary (Brandon Flowers, Brandon Carr, Eric Berry, and even Kendrick Lewis) that get all the love. The general view is that our defense is excelling despite our defensive line, not because of it.
But now comes this interesting tweet from the insightful people at ProFootballFocus:
Interesting number – KC duo of Tyson Jackson and Glenn Dorsey are 1-2 in the NFL for 3-4 DE stops.
Well, that may be all well and good, but they still aren’t sacking the QB. This “that’s not their job” nonsense is just something fans and maybe the GM say to make excuses for them. When have you actually heard the man who runs the defense say that’s what their job is?
Oh, wait a minute, how about this from Romeo Crennel’s season ending press conference?
The thing about our defense is that I know everybody wants the third pick or whatever to be the sack master, the run stopper and all that, but in our defense, our lineman, they make it happen for Derrick Johnson and Tamba Hali and Justin Houston so I tell them just make the plays you are supposed to make and many of those plays occur in the running game and everybody, they’re not all excited about a guy making a tackle at the line of scrimmage.
So not only are they making more stops then any other 3-4 DEs in the NFL, but they are doing a good enough job of occupying blockers that 50% of the Chiefs’ starting LBs are going to the Pro Bowl and a third was named the Chiefs rookie of the year.
Not too shabby for a “draft bust” and a guy “playing out of position.”

Weekend Update – Dawn Lazarus on Third Winter Storm – SNL
Will Fudge When Keenan got real, “how many years?” That shit was comedic gold and love to watch Bachelor Finale Cold Open – SNL
Kimberly Donahue-Nijhof If conservatives didn’t watch the oscars they wont get this sketch for the most part. But it was spot on. Playa!
Conchita Harris I thought this week’s show was the best in a while. I laughed at everything. The Black Panther sketch was funny. I even called my husband in to watch when Keenan came on the screen. That wig thing had me cracking up.
Helene Davison Pls consider what happened with Gore and Lock Box. I’m pleading you don’t give into anything to just be funny or into fatigue and allow forgetting the importance of what you influence in the public perception. This is patriotism not to give up because it is taking a long time and not giving an easy joke that could backhandly take away from the serious power in your comedic platform.-Thanks
Chuck McCoy A weak opening sketch seems to always get SNL off on a bid vibe, which I felt was the case on this show. But this 2nd sketch got things back on track for the rest of the program.
Jack Barnett Diffidently an improvement! Best Saturday Night Live in a long time. Only had to fast forward through the news desk skit! Get the hint! Stay out of too much politics!!! Entertain us, don’t show us your ignorance!!!
Christian Montes She’s awesome, but I thought the actor who played, Common, owned that skit lol

Digital literacy today means much more than searching the Internet and using Microsoft Office. To be digitally literate, teachers as well as students need to be able to create and share online a variety of different multimedia products. These media products can be “mapped” to your curriculum and the Common Core State Standards. In this keynote, Wesley Fryer provides an overview of the 12 different media products in the Mapping Media framework. These include Interactive Writing, Narrated Art, Radio Shows, 5 Photo Stories, Visual Notes, Narrated Slideshows/Screencasts, Puppet Videos, Quick Edit Videos, eBooks, GeoMaps, Simulations or Games, and Digital Stories. Learn more and access session resources on maps.playingwithmedia.com.
I’ll also be sharing an afternoon workshop on creating multimedia / enhanced eBooks using iPads.

There has not been much new news about Pastor R, but he did come through the surgery well, and as of last night was resting well. Recuperation will of course take some time. As of yet, I don’t know details of the emergency surgery that he had to have. As soon as I have any news at all, I will write another quick update. Until then, we’ll continue trusting the One who is never caught off guard with anything. The Lord watches over us all with great care.
“We thank you Abba Father for your great love for us all. We thank you also for seeing to it that Pastor R was able to get the emergency surgery quickly. We also thank you that you answer prayer. Because of that, and the fact that you have instructed us to come to the throne of grace boldly, we now lift Pastor R before you and ask you to raise him up quickly. We ask that the power of the Holy Spirit will flow through him in great healing power. Your Word teaches us that it is by your stripes that we are healed. May the mighty Blood of Jesus heal and restore him quickly so that he can get back to doing what You have called him to. Thank you, Father…
God Bless You All,

Question:"What can I do about my child's diaper rash? It seems like he constantly has one, and I can't seem to get rid of it."
So baby's not sitting pretty on that cute little bottom? For some babies, diaper rash does become a reoccurring, or even chronic problem — the problem being, it just doesn't seem to go away (and when it does, it seems to come right back). There are many different types of diaper rash, so you should check with the doctor to get a diagnosis (especially since it seems persistent). Most rashes respond to over-the-counter treatment, others need something a little stronger.
For overall care for a sore bottom:
- Keep the area clean and dry (change diapers often).
- Expose the bottom to air whenever possible: Let him go bare-bottom when you safely can.
- Cut down on the irritants that that bottom's exposed to. Use Cetaphil® or Johnson's® baby soap, which are less irritating, or skip the soap altogether and just use water on a cotton ball instead of wipes when possible — avoid anything with alcohol.
- Always add a blocking cream, such as Balmex® or Desitin® (or whatever the doctor recommends), and apply when baby's bottom is completely dry: Fan or blow on that bottom to make sure it's not the slightest bit damp; the blocking agents can trap in irritating moisture.
- Try switching diapers; sometimes the extra-absorbent ones can lead to rashes, since they trap more moisture.
Here's to his bottom getting better,

A great day trip in Porta Atlantico is the Arecibo Observatory, an education attraction great for the whole family, and certainly one of Puerto Rico’s most intriguing man made structures. The Arecibo Observatory is nestled on the green lush karst region of Puerto Rico and the drive here is very pleasant. You may have seen the Arecibo Observatory on the movies Contact and Golden Eye. Don’t even think that you have seen it all in our photo gallery, you have to be here to appreciate it, bring the kids, it’s a great educational attraction.
The Arecibo Observatory, the world’s largest radiotelescope, it was dedicated in 1963. It’s design and implementation led to advances in the electrical engineering areas of antenna design, signal processing, and electronic instrumentation, and in the mechanical engineering areas of antenna suspension and drive systems. The drive system positions all active parts of the antenna with millimeter precision, regardless of temperature changes, enabling the telescope to maintain an accurate focus. Its subsequent operation led to advances in the scientific fields of radio astronomy, planetary studies, and space and atmospheric sciences.
Here, through a variety of interactive exhibits, audiovisual displays, and informative panels, visitors are introduced to basic astronomy, atmospheric science, and to the operation of the radio telescope and its related research areas.

Advocates of legalizing medical marijuana in Nebraska have abandoned a petition drive to put the measure on the November ballot, saying they lacked time and money.
The petition effort surfaced after a bill legalizing medical cannabis failed in the legislature in April. Now advocates of MMJ legalization will have to wait at least a year – or perhaps another three years – for any new law, the Lincoln Star Journal reported.
The legalization bill faced opposition from Nebraska Gov. Gov. Ricketts and Attorney General Doug Peterson.
It would have allowed MMJ in pill, oil or liquid form. The number of authorized centers dispensing the medicine would have been limited to one per congressional district.
The legislation died after legalization advocates failed to muster enough votes to end a filibuster blocking the measure.
State Sen. Tommy Garrett, who pushed the bill, estimated a petition drive would have cost $700,000 to $1 million.
“It required so darn much money to get something on the ballot,” he told the newspaper.
Garrett added that any legalization bill next year will be an uphill struggle. Nine senators who support legalization must depart the legislature because of term limits and several others face re-election. Only one opponent must leave.

The long-ago dream of home-ownership is evolving and, for many, the prospect of saving enough money to get a foot in the property door is becoming more out of reach as property prices continue to soar – especially in the sought-after Sydney market.
The so-called Generation Rent is dealing with a new reality – and the concept of renting into retirement years and beyond is a new experience that no other Australian generation has had to explore. Although the older generation of Australians has a strong foundation in home-ownership, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show the number of Australian first-home buyers has halved in the past decade.
In fact, a survey of 1000 young Australians from REST Industry Super showed a staggering 80% of first-home Millennials feel they will never be able to achieve the savings required to invest in property.
Turning a rental property into a home
These statistics herald a change in the rental property market. For tenants seeking a roof over their heads, it’s no longer a matter of looking for a property that will just ‘do’ – they want a property they feel at home in. A place to call home – for the long term.
It’s a reality that makes the issue of professional property management more important than ever. With tenants seeking long-term relationships with landlords and the property management agencies that look after these rental properties, choosing a property management team that can truly protect your asset and nurture these long term tenancies is more important than ever.
Landlords and tenants working together
Governments are now also more focused on protecting the rights of long term tenants. Given that properties may be leased to one tenant for many years, it is important that these tenancies are carefully and properly managed to provide a harmonious and beneficial relationship for everyone involved.
Choosing tenants for life
The most recent research from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute reveals a boom in the percentage of long-term tenants who rent for ten years or more. And the numbers are set to increase.
In the competitive world of rental properties, choosing who to say ‘yes’ to is a pivotal decision for any investor and property management team. Once chosen, a tenant may remain in the property for the long term (and with the right to stay potentially becoming more protected by legislation) and it’s important to take a longer term view to tenancy selection, in the same way that tenants are correctly becoming more discerning with their property choices as they may be living there for many years.
From an investment perspective, long term tenancies can only be seen as beneficial as this reduces leasing expenses and vacancies between tenancies. A prudent investor understands the value in a long term tenancy and will keep the property well maintained and potentially be proactive with work that may be necessary over time to maintain the property’s appeal.
Making a house a home
Landlords who provide quality rental properties with neutral, timeless décor and good quality fittings and fixtures will find quality tenants to live in and care for them. The care that is taken to provide a property that feels like a home, results in it being appealing to the growing number of quality tenants looking for just that. A place to call home for the long term, and this is a win for everyone involved.

The representation of a genome by oligonucleotide probes is a prerequisite for the analysis of many of its basic properties, such as transcription factor binding sites, chromosomal breakpoints, gene expression of known genes and detection of novel genes, in particular those coding for small RNAs. An ideal representation would consist of a high density set of oligonucleotides with similar melting temperatures that do not cross-hybridize with other regions of the genome and are equidistantly spaced. The implementation of such design is typically called a tiling array or genome array. We formulate the minimal cost tiling path problem for the selection of oligonucleotides from a set of candidates. Computing the selection of probes requires multi-criterion optimization, which we cast into a shortest path problem. Standard algorithms running in linear time allow us to compute globally optimal tiling paths from millions of candidate oligonucleotides on a standard desktop computer for most problem variants. The solutions to this multi-criterion optimization are spatially adaptive to the problem instance. Our formulation incorporates experimental constraints with respect to specific regions of interest and trade offs between hybridization parameters, probe quality and tiling density easily.

About the Pontiac Grand Prix
Now in its fifth decade of production, the Grand Prix is one of the few enduring Pontiac signatures, having surpassed the legendary Bonneville now in longevity. Despite changes in size and engine choices, due mostly to changing times and external influences, the Grand Prix has retained its performance car stature, evolving over the years from a personal luxury cruiser to affordable family car, and back again to the racing coupe we see today.
Introduced in 1962 as a large hardtop coupe, with engineering contributions from John DeLorean, the Grand Prix helped change the styling fashion from flashy to classically simple, with less chrome and trimmings. Its focus was on performance, and it featured big block V8s that got well into the upper 300s for horsepower. But it also packed in a lot of standard features, such as cruise control and air conditioning, that set it apart as not just a street racer, but also a personal luxury cruiser. It was an immediate success and a big influence on the segment. A redesign in the late '60s turned it into more of a mid-size coupe, but with better handling and even more engine grunt.
As with all cars, the 1970s forced some downsizing in bodies and engines. The big boats got smaller and the motors less powerful, thanks to the catalytic converter requirement. Eventually the once racing-inspired Grand Prix coupe slipped down to well below 200-hp, though it didn't lose any of its interior luxury trappings, which some say were approaching overkill. Despite the loss of street performance, the coupe remained highly popular as an affordable personal tourer. The Grand Prix took a further hit in the 1980s with the demise of the V8. Its increasingly smaller body was no longer in keeping with the new growing demand for family cars.
Towards the end of the 1980s, the Grand Prix introduced its first sedan to go along with the coupe, and joined the front-wheel drive market. Its redesign earned it Car of the Year status in 1988, and the 1990s brought a gradual return to the performance car aspects it had been forced to minimize for so long. Powerful V6 engines were soon joined by the long-lost V8, and both sedans and coupes grew in size to accommodate families, while the engines boosted horsepower to accommodate driving enthusiasts. New GT and supercharged GTP V8 models, and later the ultra-sporty GXP would refocus attention on excitement behind the wheel. As further proof of its revived performance focus, Grand Prix sedans were all but dropped (except for fleet use mostly), leaving the coupes to tear up the streets.
When the Bonneville was dropped in 2005, the Grand Prix became the sole survivor of Pontiac's legacy. Despite its iconic name, GM has announced that 2008 will be the last year for the Grand Prix, marking 47 years of a successful run as a high-performing, yet affordable personal cruiser.

It’s doubtful if a textbook has been published on how to take over another self storage company and integrate it with your own. This meant that Steve Williams and his newly formed integration team had to rely on experience to take them through the process when Safestore completed the acquisition of Mentmore (Spaces) in June last year.
The addition of the Spaces stores means that Safestore is the only national UK self storage company, trading from 70 stores and three business centres across Scotland, Wales and all regions of England. In addition there are seven stores in Paris, trading under the Une Piece en Plus (UPP) brand.
When it became apparent that Mentmore could be up for sale Steve Williams and Dave Davies (head of operations) went on an investigative tour visiting every Spaces store.
“We visited every one to get a view of the business and the people,” said Dave. They built up a comprehensive analysis of the portfolio on a store-by-store basis that was to prove invaluable in the following months.
An integration team of Dave Davies, Stuart Beavers, Avril Jones and Bijal Dohdia was selected because they each had relevant experience and expertise. Steve had started his career as store manager at Payless DIY in 1971 eventually becoming operations director for Payless and thence for Wickes and Pet City/Petsmart before joining Safestore.
At Payless DIY and Pet City he was involved in both acquisitions and re-branding. Dave (operations), Stuart (administration), Avril (human resources) and Bijal (IT) also had extensive on the job experience of mergers, acquisitions and integration. The team concentrated on putting together an acquisition strategy document supported by a detailed critical path and action plan. The document covered every aspect of the business and acquisition, including a full assessment of risks, threats and opportunities. The plan is still reviewed on a very regular basis.
“One of the most important factors was to start working towards ‘one company – one team’ from the off and for all staff to understand the benefits, opportunities and responsibilities associated with being the UK’s number one self storage company,” said Steve.
To this end, “A national managers’ conference was held within a week of the two businesses coming together where we got everyone together and outlined our plans for the integration of the larger business. Two senior managers from France were also there,” recalled Steve.
“We decided not to impose policy on the French operation – it was up to them to accept or ignore our suggestions, but they have accepted 80% of our operational procedures as well as increasing merchandising and larger and more open reception areas,” said Steve.
The major thrust of the integration was around the “way forward” programme, which was a 24 week programme designed to introduce common working practices, the achievement of a minimum store standard and a unified approach to sales and customer service across the whole enlarged business.
Over a four-week period following the merger, every manager and assistant manager attended a training course in sales skills and customer service, and new policies and procedures were introduced via regular managers meetings throughout the programme.
Without doubt, however the biggest challenge was to get all stores to a consistent standard of cleanliness and appearance. The responsibility for this was given to the store managers and their teams who personally undertook a co-ordinated cleaning and painting programme over September, October and November, after which they remain responsible for the ongoing cleaning.
The reason for this, Steve stresses, is to give the store team ownership of, and pride in their store. For the record some 2.5 million sq ft of floor has been painted and over £100,000 paid in bonuses to staff at all levels upon successful completion.
“Alongside the staff’s efforts to paint and clean, we had outstanding work and repairs completed on the newly acquired stores, and we have had over 1,000 urgently required units built since June, said Steve.
All stores will be re-branded Safestore by the end of 2005, with the first store completed at Orpington in Kent in early December 2004.
One of the first, and biggest tasks facing the team was to amalgamate three head offices, two of Mentmore and one of Safestore’s, in to one combined function. This was achieved within seven weeks, and the head office now occupies an impressive modern and spacious open plan office adjacent to the existing Safestore store in Borehamwood.
As head of IT, Bijal took responsibility for integrating the management information and finance data for the two companies. The management information system chosen was Spacemanager for Windows, which was the system operated by Safestore.
This had been running on a centralised server for over 18 months and was proven, efficient, reliable and allowed the production of real-time information in a timely manner.
To run the enlarged company an enhanced trading board headed by Steve and including Dave Davies and Glen Sullivan Bissett, respective divisional directors for North and South, finance director Richard Hodsden, property director.
Neil Moulder, HR director Avril Jones, and marketing director Ian Nash was formed.
The day-to-day operation of the stores is the responsibility of the divisional directors who have seven regional managers and two auditors – who monitor security, health and safety and administration – reporting to them.
“The principle of having auditors works well as they help ensure each store delivers compliance to company policies and a standardised service to all our customers. Each site is graded red, amber or green on a number of criteria, which identifies items which need addressing on a store by store basis,” said Steve.
To date both Spaces and Safestore have performed above budget. “We are the No.1 self storage provider in the UK in terms of customer numbers, square footage, revenue and profit, but in this industry, where we are all basically selling the same product, it is your people that will make the real difference. This is why so much emphasis will be put on training and inspiring our people, alongside our investment in improved services and facilities,” said Steve.
He is on record as saying that competition in the industry will continue to intensify and any business that wants to remain successful must respond and continue to up their game if they want to survive long term.
“Standards will continue to rise and to remain successful you have to keep improving; this business is improving at a rapid pace and you need to keep running to just to stand still. With new stores such as Staples Corner and Charlton we have stores that are equal to any.”
Safestore is targeting to open 30 more stores in the UK and France over the next five years. In addition it may continue on the acquisition trail if any good quality and reasonably priced companies come their way. This could be in the UK or mainland Europe.
“We are not here for the short term,” says Steve, who stated that one of the company’s key visions was “to build a profitable and sustainable business”.
This means that the company will continue to invest in the business and its staff, through both the opening of new stores and the continued enhancement of services and facilities across the existing portfolio.
Safestore have a very detailed property strategy to aid expansion. The next new store is due to open on Pentonville Road in London this April followed by two further stores in Paris during the summer. Several further potential sites are currently under active discussion.
They are also becoming increasingly innovative in attracting details of potential sites, including an offer to all Focus readers and everyone in the industry of £10,000 for the introduction of a site, which the company is not already aware of, and that it subsequently develops.
Details of potential sites should be communicated in the first instance to Neil Moulder, property director at email@example.com
The company operates with approximately 60% freehold and 40% leasehold property. “We are not a property company, we are a retail business offering customers a service,” said Steve.
Safestore’s latest store opened at Staples Corner, London on 25 November 2004, adjacent to Big Yellow.
The store is bright throughout. Light is everything with continuous runs of florescent lighting in the passageways. This means that customers feel secure even when they visit the site in the middle of the night, as it is open 24 hours a day.
Security is very visible, with a bank of three monitors in reception and a swipe card entry system. Security is further enhanced by individually alarmed units. The store has 212 Active Supply and Design-built units varying from 10 sq ft to 200 sq ft, on the ground floor, and 210 on the first, with capacity for same-again on the top floor when it is fitted out.
Being on the Staples Corner Business Park its mix is inevitable weighted to business lets. A month after opening, its occupancy was 70% business to 30% domestic. No one is complaining, and the success follows the extensive marketing drive that North London area manager Andy Thomas and store manager Patrick Kennealy have led.
The team keep the store spick and span by carrying out their own cleaning; they also carried out the local marketing supported by the central marketing function. For instance, when the store first opened, they hired three Smart Cars and liveried them in the company colours and toured, in convoy, a five mile radius catchment area to carry out leaflet drops. With the company’s updated website and the marketing drive of the staff, the fill rate has exceeded target. “We’ve started very well,” says Andy.
The store has four staff – manager, assistant manager, and two reception staff. It is open 24/7, but the reception is open 8 to 6 Monday to Saturday, with late opening until 8pm Thursday, on Sundays 10 to 4 and Bank Holidays 8 to 2pm.
“We offer a one stop shop for businesses with offices now being refurbished, van-hire and units – it’s an ideal location for a small or start-up businesses,” says Patrick.
The new store endorses the company’s philosophy that it is a retail business. You can not fail to be impressed by the inviting shiny-floored, air conditioned, glass-walled reception area with over 80ft of well displayed storage items such as cartons, tape, bubble wrap and everything you would need to pack, store or move your goods. In addition Safestore offers it’s customers saver kits of cartons that come in three size options, all meaning a considerable saving over the individual price for the customer. Following the company’s philosophy the staff assemble the saver kit themselves.
“Our lowest price guarantee gives our managers confidence that they cannot be undersold,” said Steve, adding that if any competitors was to offer silly prices in competition to one of its stores Safestore would always go 5% under that.
Safestore simply will not be beaten on price or value.
Much of the integration process is now complete, but the company is continuing to work towards the “one company, one brand, one team” philosophy and building a first class business.
Steve says he is proud of what the team have achieved over the last few years but is now focussed on the future and continuing to improve the business for both customers and employees alike. We simply want Safestore to be the preferred choice of our employees and our customers.

It should be noted that there are a handful of manufacturers whose parts are not easily sourced and in some cases these have to be obtained from abroad, which will result in a delay in completing the repair.
- All repairs will require full and easy access to the furniture/car interior. If your furniture/car interior cannot be easily accessed to facilitate the repair, we reserve the right to abort the repair. In such instances we will charge a fixed fee call out/administration charge of £55.00.
- Parking that gives reasonable access to your property must be provided for the engineer. If the parking is pay and display or permit controlled, it is your responsibility to arrange for the engineer to park free of charge for the duration of his visit.
- It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure they are home for their agreed appointment. Failure to be home will result in a £55.00 no reply fee.
Changing or Cancelling Your Appointment:
- You may change or cancel your appointment date at any time up to 16:00 on the day before the original agreed call out date. If you wish to change or cancel your appointment, please call our Customer Services Department.
- If you cancel the fixed price repair at any time after 16:00 on the day before the agreed appointment date, you will be charged a call out/administration charge of £55.00 unless the given time slot cannot be met.
- If our approved service engineer cannot gain access to the furniture/car interior on the agreed appointment date, you will be charged a call out/administration fee of £55.00.
- If we (or our approved service engineer) have to change or cancel your selected appointment date and any alternative date offered is unacceptable to you, we will give you the opportunity to cancel the appointment.
- If you wish to cancel whilst your repair is in progress, (for example, the engineer has visited and you no longer wish to proceed) there will be a call out/administration charge of £55.00, provided no parts have been fitted. If parts have been fitted, you will be liable for the parts supplied.
- Your right to cancel may be exercised in writing or in another durable medium by contacting us. For ways to contact us please see the CONTACT US page.
If We Cannot Repair Your Furniture:
In a few instances, the required part(s) may not be readily available from our suppliers and may have extended lead times where they require sourcing from abroad.
- If after a period of 16 weeks, beginning from the first call out, the required part(s) is/are still outstanding and the furniture is inoperable, either party has the right to cancel the fixed price repair.
- We reserve the right to cancel a fixed price repair if on evaluation or during the repair:
- If the information regarding the repair is incorrect
- If the repairs reach a greater extent than originally quoted
- In both instances, we will charge paid less a call out/administration charge of £55.00.
- The fixed price repair is guaranteed to cover the initial fault for 30 days from the date the repair is completed unless otherwise stated.
- This covers workmanship-related faults only and excludes body perspiration and customer-related damages.
- If your repair fails with the same fault as detailed in your initial repair, we will arrange to send the original service provider back to you at a mutually convenient time at no extra cost. In the event of the fault re-occurring during the guarantee period, please call our Customer Services Department.
- If we have arranged for an engineer to re-visit but you subsequently wish to cancel, you may do so up to 16:00 on the day before the agreed call out date. If you wish to cancel after this time or during the repair, you will be charged a call out/administration fee of £55.00. Calls made directly to the engineer to request a re-visit are not covered under this guarantee.
- This guarantee does not cover any subsequent unrelated breakdown/fault(s) to the repair. If you request an engineer re-visit and an alternative fault is found and you wish to continue with the repair, you will be given the option to purchase an additional repair at the original rate. You will be charged a call out/administration fee of £55.00.
- The guarantee becomes invalid if the furniture/car interior is not used and maintained in accordance with manufacturer guidelines.
- Leather repairs and colour restorations must be left for 72 hours for the repair products to fully cure. Failure to adhere to the correct drying times may result in your repairs failing.

Dental Instrument Sharpening
Rejuvenate your instruments with our Sharpening service. Have your instruments honed back to their original shape by our trained technicians. No guides, stones or devices necessary, and prices start at just $1.10 per end!
Dental Instrument Retipping
Are your blades just too short, too skinny, or too broken to try to sharpen any more? No worries - our retipping service is right up your alley. We can replace worn, unused or entirely broken tips with brand-new, American-melt Surgical Stainless Steel tips for an incredibly low price - most instruments are just $1.99 per end!
Our retipping process is based on the same process your instruments went through when they were originally manufactured. First, we remove the old tips in their entirety, then expertly insert and seal a new American-melt Surgical Stainless Steel tip into the handle. Our new tips are precision-made to fit into the handle just as snugly and tightly as the old tips. Your instruments are then sharpened and polished by hand. There are only three differences between retipping an existing instrument and purchasing new: the price, the removal of the old tips, and the environmental friendliness of retipping.
Trade-Ins - Recycle Your Old Instruments
Unfortunately, some instruments cannot be retipped. Also just as unfortunate, some instruments are plain ugly and undesirable. Don't worry, we've got you covered! Trade-ins are a great way to get rid of unrepairable or unwanted instruments. Simply send them to us - we'll take care of the recycling, you get a new instrument to replace it at a special price.
Goldman Products can service the vast majority of all dental hand instruments. And if we can't service it - we can replace it!
- Hygiene Instruments
- Perio Explorers & Probes
- Forceps & Pliers
- Wire & Ligature Cutters

Irish rugby star Stephen Ferris has launched a war of words with England ahead of Saturday’s big Six Nations clash at Twickenham.
The Ulster flanker has branded England ‘bad losers’ ahead of the eagerly awaited clash in London.
Ireland can finish second in the Six Nations championship with victory against the English side that beat France in Paris last Sunday.
With seven Irish wins from their last eight meetings, confidence is high as the team prepare to fly to London on Thursday.
Ferris has now added fuel to the fire with his remarks.
“If you ask any team who do they like beating and it’s always the English. Why? It’s something I can’t really put my finger on,” he said.
“We took so many beatings from England at under-age level. Any time we played Under-18s, -19s or -20s we always received a thumping. I never beat them.
“They come with bit of a tag about being arrogant and if you asked any team they’d probably say the same thing.
“They’re a good side and are full of winners, but when they lose they don’t like it.
“They’re bad losers and hopefully they’ll be bad losers on Saturday.”
Ferris also claimed that he is good friends with many of the England players he played alongside on the 2009 Lions tour to South Africa.
“I went on the Lions tour and got to know a few of England’s players,” added Ferris, fit to start on Saturday despite an ankle problem.
“I got on so well with them and had an awful lot of respect for them. I became good friends with some of them.
“England are a good side at the moment and are very hard to break down.
“Saturday will be two good teams going against each other, but we’re also looking forward to getting that result.”

The new scalable managed service uses AI to dramatically accelerate business decision-making through human-like understanding of contracts
ABBYY®, a global provider of content intelligence services, today announced the launch of ABBYY Text Analytics for Contracts, a managed service that automatically discovers insights from contracts and leases to speed up risk mitigation, obligation analysis and content migration. With Text Analytics for Contracts, businesses can leverage the entire ABBYY technology portfolio to accelerate time-to-value and successfully implement their contract lifecycle management, robotic process automation and digital transformation strategies.
ABBYY’s human-like understanding of contracts enables users to speed-read documents by pinpointing sections, clauses and facts for systems of records or other business processes to drive contextually informed, accelerated decision-making. The service is well suited for large and medium-sized enterprises, large-scale system integrators and independent software vendors who need to automatically leverage the intelligence embedded within sectioned documents including contracts, leases, regulatory filings and more, to augment business decision-making processes and ensure compliance with emerging regulations such as GDPR and ASC606.
“Text Analytics for Contracts empowers businesses to reduce time-to-content, automate time-to-decision and accelerate their time-to-compliance. It simplifies the use of semantic and AI technologies to automatically identify intelligence within contracts and streamlines analysis to dramatically reduce turnaround time,” comments Bruce Orcutt, Vice-President, Head of Product Marketing at ABBYY.
The service’s modular, extensible and scalable cloud-based architecture allows contract processing as well as discovery, review and analysis workflows to be easily customized – all with zero infrastructure footprint. Micro-service based workflows provide users with a highly flexible environment to perform section, obligation and compliance analysis, drawing on products and technologies from ABBYY’s portfolio of AI, NLP, recognition, and information capture technologies, as well as third-party products and services.
Text Analytics for Contracts enables clients to run teams across multiple time zones, 24/7, using multi-tier review and analysis workflows. ABBYY service personnel simplify customer engagement by taking responsibility for configuration, staging and processing of documents, to accelerate the delivery of contract-based intelligence to client personnel.
The granular level of insight is achieved using ABBYY’s comprehensive NLP technology, which combines syntax, semantics, pragmatics and machine learning to identify sections, target specified entities and understand complex structures. It provides the high level of accuracy and customization needed by attorneys dealing with complex contracts during negotiations or mergers and acquisitions, and compliance and security professionals when dealing with risk. The advanced technical capabilities are accessed through simple, intuitive interfaces that require minimal training and provide an effortless user experience.
Availability and pricing
ABBYY Text Analytics for Contracts is available worldwide. For more information, please contact an ABBYY representative.

My name is Karine and I am 29 years old, married with three children aged 8, 5, and 1 1/2. Seeing a chiropractor regularly is very important to us. I have noticed that chiropractic care helps our overall health tremendously. We do not go to the doctors often mainly because we hardly ever get sick! And I strongly believe that I can attribute this to our faithful visits to our chiropractor. Chiropractic has helped us maintain health. My two oldest daughters are ice hockey players, and from being pushed into boards to falling hard on the ice, one can only imagine what damage that could do after a while. My youngest daughter was adjusted at just a few days old, after going through what is believed to be the most traumatic event in life--BIRTH!!! My husband is a builder which requires him to be very physical day after day. For myself being a mom, with all that that entails, is ever so important that I stay healthy to keep my home together, because I don't get "sick days"! However, even if none of us were active, we would still greatly benefit from our routine adjustments.
Chiropractic care is our way of staying healthy and maintaining an overall sense of feeling GOOD.
-Karine L., 29

Ultimate is weird because at times it wants to be satire, but at other times it wants to be a modernization ala USM and UXM. Those two things don’t quite work together. Add an extra touch of Millar’s over the top edginess and you get a book that just doesn’t work, IMO.
I love Ultimate Spider-Man though. There are a few arcs near the end of the Peter Parker portion that aren’t very good (Ultimate Deadpool and a chunk of the post-Ultimatum stuff), but for the most part, it’s solid throughout. I read the whole thing in a marathon session a couple years ago up until the early Miles stuff (Which I then read as it was coming out).
Bendis stuff reads best this way, I feel. His Guardians run was an absolute slog trying to read month by month, but his Avengers was serviceable with a few moments of greatness read in a big marathon session.

Sculpting Since: 2003
Location: the Netherlands
While studying biology in college, Susanne Ruseler discovered that her true passion was not in dissecting animals but in honoring them via sculpture. She used several media in her quest to represent and beautify human beings and all creatures, sculpting in snow, ice, and sand. “I really enjoy alternating between materials but sand is my first love,” says Susanne.
And so, after graduation, she started a sculpture company and has been making fantastic, albeit temporary, art ever since. Her work now takes her all over the world, to places like St. Petersburg and Madrid, Tel Aviv and South Korea, where she creates intricate works, often involving the combination of many figures to create one comprehensive scene.
- Concentrated in recent years on major projects, rather than contests
- Still has an amazing 28 top 3 awards in contests worldwide in past 10 years, including 12 1st place finishes

Things are going to get difficult for Italian national team coach Roberto Donadoni.
Less than a month before the start of Euro '08, Donadoni hasn't received the gesture of good faith he wanted from the Italian soccer federation.
Donadoni has been in the hot seat since he took over the squad. That's to be expected when you take over a World Cup winner. But he did qualify the team for the Euro tournament. His contract expires at the end of 2008 and he was looking for an extension.
The contract discussion is overshadowing preparations for the tournament. That kind of distraction was the last thing either party wanted. Reports say that Donadoni was offered a two-year extension that was geared to the national team's performance including reaching the semi-final at Euro. It did include a substantial buyout if Donadoni was fired.
Hardly the vote of confidence he was seeking.
If that was meant to calm the waters, no one better get in a boat.
Reports say Donadoni was not impressed.
Donadoni now has to make decisions he knows will determine whether he remains Italy's coach after Euro. He'll have to decide who among a big crowd of strikers he'll select.
Luca Toni is a given. So is young Marco Borriello. But one of the key inclusions will be a striker who likely will come off the bench later in the game to give the Italians a boost.
Popular Juventus star Alessandro Del Piero is making things difficult for the Italian coach. Del Piero has found the fountain of youth this season. The almost 34-year-old is scoring goals like he's 10 years younger.
Two years ago, not many would have believed this would have been an issue. Del Piero looked like a player headed downhill on a bike with no brakes.
This year with Juventus, he's playing full games and scoring goals, 18 of them so far. Making a decision to leave Del Piero out of Euro is even more difficult because of Del Piero's popularity. Del Piero is a classy guy and the Italian media loves him.
But there's another 34-year-old who is potting big goals. Milan's Pippo Inzaghi has picked the past two months to be at his poaching best.
Inzaghi is the kind of player no one notices, until he puts the ball in the net. He's quicker than Del Piero and has a reputation for scoring big goals.
Which brings us to Antonio Cassano. Cassano has enormous potential, is much younger and stronger than the other two. He plays the game on the edge with an edge.
He would be the most dangerous selection for Donadoni and Donadoni likely will not take that risk. There are too many other safer choices.
Donadoni isn't one to tip his hand but if one can interpret recent interviews, Donadoni seems to be leaning toward Del Piero. Del Piero's advantage over Inzaghi is his ability to distribute the ball and Del Piero remains dangerous when he's standing over a free kick.
Juventus' Vincenzo Iaquinta, who was expected to be named to the Euro squad, is out with an injury, putting his tournament at risk.
MONEY IN THEIR POCKET
They may play for the honour of their country but the money isn't bad either. Euro '08 in Switzerland and Austria will have a pool of about 184 million Euros.
Each team earns (all in Euros) 7.5 million to be in the tournament with teams getting one million per win and 500,000 per tie. The eight quarter-finalists earn two million each, with the four semi-finalists three million each, the two finalists 4.5 million each and the winner earning an addition three million.

Mass Effect 3 Ending Controversy
Ok so this is a SPOILER FILLED BLOGPOST. I am giving away key plot points right from the get go. So if you don’t want to know what has happened move away now. Really sod off.
Because SPOILERS AHOY!
Still here? Righty ho then, it has clearly aroused an incredible amount of debate and controversy. And as there are a fair few gaming fans I know I thought I’d write a blog about it.
Well first things first I don’t think the end is anywhere near as bad as some people seem to be made out to be, I mean we have been being prepared for the fact that Mass Effect aint blooming Disney ever since Ashley/Kaiden died on Vimrie back in Mass Effect 1. That it wasn’t going to all be sweetness, light and happily ever after has surely been signposted for ages.
So assuming Bioware *were* shooting straight with the ending/s we got (and I am far from convinced but more on that later) then it was a very interesting ending (if in some ways unsatisfactory).
It has been a theme of Mass Effect (and most of Bioware’s oeuvre) that actually Whitehats are not always right, and that the Blackhats are not always unrelentingly evil. Shades of gray has pretty much always been a big part of their story telling. Saren in ME1 *thought* he was the good guy, The Duke bloke antagonist in Dragon Age thought what he was doing was necessary (and you probably ended up saving him) and it was basically the entire plot of the KOTOR games.
I was wondering about the some of the motivation for the Reapers from about the middle of ME2. There was some subtle clues in your conversations with Harbinger that maybe all was not exactly as it seemed. And a couple of moments in ME3 really got me thinking about “where all this was going”. Specifically the repeated signposting that if the Reapers really wanted they could exterminate all biological life really easily but didn’t. Initially we were given to thinking this was because the evil blighters were just hoping to have new tech and folks to nosh every 50 thousand years but the conversation you have with the reaper you have just wasted on Rannoch rather suggests a different motivation.
So these clues (along with it being highlighted to me by the controversy that people were pretty unhappy with the ending) had me approaching the final bit in the Citadel thinking that things might be a little different and they sure were.
So the things I like about the end (assuming Bioware were playing it straight) are that it was genuinely thoughtful and challenging. That Shepherd has been able to see the conflict as basically black and white, good versus evil (even if his methods are variable) and then he finds out right at the end that things are much more complicated is an incredible headf*ck.
Having had the massive mission for so long “defeat the reapers” to find out that actually defeating the Reapers may well result in a pyrrhic victory that rather than saving civilisation would actually result in the extermination of the entirety of biological life forever? And Sheherd is the guy who has to either chose to either complete his mission knowing it might end up with the extermination of all life (as well as the unintended consequences of destroying interstellar travel, killing the Geth and ED-E) or to do some other pretty unpalatable choice (which all involve destroying interstellar travel) is a pretty crazy and interesting, and most of all challenging end to 90-odd hours of fantastic story telling.
Personally I like challenging endings in books, films and games. I love films like Solaris, Silent Running where you have to think some pretty deep philosophical thoughts. Similarly I love films where the end is challenging, I love the fact that even now we are talking about what really went on in The Usual Suspects or at the end of Inception. Challenge and ambiguity are good in stories.
Having said that there are still some problems with this analysis. The first and most obvious is that if they have chosen to go down this route they are probably not really appealing to their target audience. Mass Effect is great story telling, about as highbrow and accomplished as the art of video gaming has ever got to date. But it is still a video game, and it’s target audience is still gamers. Further the story telling up to this point hadn’t actually been thoughtful auteur sci-fi from the 70s, it had been Space Opera very much in the Star Wars mould (thanks to Andrew Nattan of Unmemorable Title for this great comparison you can see it in context here!). Fans can pretty realistically have had an expectation that it was at least possible they might get a Return of the Jedi like ending. To suddenly and profoundly genre hop would always be a little jarring.
Secondly as and act of story telling it didn’t really work because the ground work really hadn’t been put in for such a jarring change of pace. I mean in all honesty the Crucible appears for the very first time announces that he is the leader and controller of the Reapers and that the cycle was all his idea. WITH NO FRICKING ANSWERS OR BACK STORY! He tells us this is done to save organic life because synthetics will inevitably wipe out organics but doesn’t in any way back it up. Doesn’t explain why this is true or why we should believe him.
At the same time a major plot point of the last two games is that the examples put before us actually run completely contrary to this. Despite appearances we find out that the Geth are not that bad after all, and in fact we are strongly encouraged to save them when it turns out they were not the baddies after all and in doing so they prove themselves to be thoroughly decent. Ditto the whole of Ed-E’s story arc. For it to be even remotely credible that Shepherd would even consider taking the crucible at it’s word there would surely have needed to be some backstory that would allow him to start doubting his course? Where was the challenging conversation with Harbinger earlier in the proceedings that makes Shepherd start to wonder just a little bit about what was going on?
Lastly given we have been told time and time to keep our saves, and think about the choices we made because they would ultimately effect the outcome of the story. So I guess the biggest failure of the end is that none of the choices you make have the slightest bit of difference to the outcome (which is broadly the same) or even how the final show down pans out. You have the 3-4 possible ending depending on how well you had prepared for the war principally in ME3 and it’s spin offs (your prepared score and galactic readiness determining which choices available to you at the end). That it turns out none of what you did really mattered is kinda cool in the “thoughtful challenging story” stakes but in a game that has sold itself on decisions, choices and consequences is a bit of a kick in the teeth for fans many of whom have put in 90+ hours into their characters.
So there we go, if Bioware were shooting straight then in my opinion the ending isn’t as bad as everyone is saying but it is still problematic and deeply flawed. But I don’t think for a second they were, I am sure there is more going on there were loads of problems with the end of ME3, loads of stuff that didn’t make sense, didn’t feel or smell right.
Now it could be that after 3 games and 90 odd hours of storytelling Bioware just lost the plot in the last 10 minutes and wrote a load of stuff that contradicted everything that went before and had massive, gaping plot holes. But I have to say I personally find that a little unlikely. I was already thinking in a certain direction when I started googling about the ending and found that lots of people had been thinking along the same lines as me. Not going to rehash it all as plenty of other have done this better than I can be bothered to do here but have a read of this great (if a little lengthy) summation of the “Indoctrination Theory”:-
For those who can’t be bothered to read through all that And/Or watch the excellent video they link to (though really you should and heck you have made it this far down my post!) a couple of the salient points.
- Indoctrination, and being indoctrinated without knowing it are major, major themes throughout the series.
- Shepherd has spent more time in, around and talking to reapers and reaper tech than pretty much anyone not indoctrinated and the Reapers would surely try
- There a loads of things that don’t make sense on the Citadel
- How did Anderson get there? Why is he uninjured? How did he know Shepherd was aboard?
- How did Hackett know it was Shepherd aboard the Citadel?
- Why when Shepherd shoots Anderson in the side does the wound appear on Shepherd?
- How come the Crucible knows the appearance and voice of the Kid Shepherd saw at the start and was dreaming about?
- Also what were those dreams all about?
- A fair few hints that Shepherd is questioning himself (wondering if he is a VI when on the Cerebus station)
- The red/blue colours of the final choices are counter intuitive the action Anderson would have taken presented as the “Renegade” option and the action the Elusive Man would have taken been presented as the “Paragon” action. Though suggested that subtly the paragon style music plays when you choose destroy
- That the “third was” suggested by the Crucible is exactly what Saren was talking about in ME1 (and he was definitely Indoctrinated).
- That if you get the 4th (and presumably best) ending choosing destroy and see the secret cut scene of Shepherd taking a breath his N7 armour doesn’t appear to be melted like in the final scene and he doesn’t actually appear to be on the wreckage of the Citadel.
And quite a bit more if you trawl, the long and short of it is people are suggesting that the reason it seems to jar is it is supposed to. What you are seeing in that scene isn’t really happening but it is the final attempts of the reapers to indoctrinate Shepherd and what is happening is that Shepherd is making his choice, does he succumb to the reapers and fall down either the Elusive Man’s or Saren’s respective paths or does he reject and fight? Seriously in light of reading this stuff go and play the end bit again and see what you think.
Now this indoctrination theory whilst not perfect does “fit” rather with the available facts, so it could be true. Sure “then I woke up and it was all a dream” is a pretty hackneyed storytelling device (though in these circumstances one that could seem appropriate). And it would raise some questions of its own. At exactly what point did the indoctrination hallucination start just after the laser when Shepherd advancing on the beam to the Citadel? Was Shepherd captured on Thessia? When Earth was attacked? When he died?
The only one that could be remotely satisfying (I mean if it turned out most or all of ME2 and 3 hadn’t really happened people would be even more pissed) would the after laser scenario. But in that one why would would the Reapers need to indoctrinate him if the attack had already failed? I suppose logically maybe he has made it to the station but everything that happens is a dream as Crucible tries to dominate him to stop him actually destroying the Reapers.
I can see how this could work, and it would have been in many way more satisfying that the real ending. Imagine if you had got one of the vaguely unsatisfactory ones and when you took to “teh interwebs” to complain you heard actually if you took particular choices not only was there a better ending but actually potentially some extra gameplay! You’d be annoyed but hey they warned you your decisions matter and I bet most would be cracking out a new game to get to the desired ending.
Trouble is whilst this could have been bloody awesome, if this is what happens now but only via DLC (especially if **paid** DLC) then it is just a colossal, massive misstep from Bioware. I read on the internet that it would be like the Sixth Sense or Fight Club finishing 10 minutes from the end and you would only get the proper twist endings a month later if you paid again.
So it seems like even if Bioware are being clever then they have made a massive blunder. All the same either way the end just isn’t as bad as people say even if it is flawed and doesn’t live up to what came before. And let’s be honest who on earth who has come all this way won’t now download the rumoured DLC “The Truth” shortly to be released? I know I sure as hell will be!
Posted this on social media but this is an excellent, excellent take on the Indoctrination theory in video format. I seriously challenge anyone to watch this and not at least think they might have a point.
And if you want to have a theory as to why they might have done this try this bad boy

MJ’s World Famous Chili…
This is the chili I make for all occasions, I get some very upset people if I don’t bring this to church pot-lucks.
1 Can Bush’s Chili Magic
I can diced tomatoes ( use plain or use Rotel for more heat )
1 lb. ground turkey, browned ( or beef or chicken )
1 onion chopped ( optional )
Brown the meat and add the remaining ingredients, simmer until hot through.
For pot-luck, I triple the Chili Magic, and tomatoes, and double the meat. Brown the meat and add all to a crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours.

What Is Pesto?
Pesto is an Italian sauce from the Genoa region derived from fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt & pepper.
Pesto traditionally was used as a flavouring agent for soup but now is best known for use in pasta, sandwiches and wraps. You can use it on pizza, as a marinade for chicken or to add some colour to your scrambled eggs. Green eggs and ham anyone? Combined with yogurt it makes a creamy dip for artichokes (this recipe is cost effective using walnuts in the place of pine nuts).
Pesto was originally made using a mortar and pestle , a technique that was used to maximize the flavour of the basil leaves, but nowadays it is usually made in the food processor.
If you're looking for a traditional pesto recipe, then you'll find a great one at 101Cookbooks called How To Make Pesto Like An Italian Grandmother.
For a fun twist on the original, try Rachael Ray's Asparagus and Pistachio Pesto.

- Press Releases
October 24 (Renewables Now) - The US government will allocate USD 28 million (EUR 25.1m) in funding to projects exploring cost reduction options in the wind segment, with a focus on offshore, distributed and onshore utility-scale wind.
The funds will be distributed among 13 projects, the Department of Energy (DOE) said on Tuesday. The largest part of the sum, up to USD 10 million, will go to two offshore wind technology demonstration projects. Lake Erie Energy Development Corp will deploy innovative sensing technologies for tracking bird activity near wind turbines, while the University of Maine will develop a floating substructure design for a 10 MW–12 MW wind turbine and install it at a project off Maine.
Some USD 7 million will be provided for the testing of innovative offshore wind technologies at national-level testing facilities, with the funding to be shared by six projects. Among them is a scheme by the Clemson University of North Charleston, South Carolina, aiming to improve offshore wind turbine nacelle testing, and a project of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Centre in Boston which seeks to upgrade its testing facility to make possible the structural testing of wind turbine blades with lengths of between 85 metres and 120 metres. The Oregon State University of Corvallis, meanwhile, will conduct tests on the combined effects of wind and waves on floating offshore wind turbines.
Four of the 13 selected projects will get a total of USD 6 million to support rural utilities by developing technologies that integrate wind with other distributed energy resources. They will also work to simplify distributed wind project development through standardised solutions and technical assistance.
Up to USD 5 million in federal money will go to Keystone Tower Systems, whose task will be to demonstrate cost-effective welding technologies for tall wind turbine towers, of 160 metres, the installation of which is currently limited by transportation constraints.
The full list of winners in all categories is available on DOE’s website.
(USD 1.0 = EUR 0.898)

I have never been more intimidated by people than the first time I met Brenda and Jay Saldi.
Jay had just retired from the NFL. A tight end with an attitude. A Superbowl ring. A glower that came from somewhere deep inside.
Brenda was simply movie star gorgeous.
And they both have the most amazing eyes. A light blue iris the color of which I've never seen before or since. Black hole pupils that peer into you.
My family and the Saldi's came to be friends. Their three boys grew up with my four oldest kids.
All three boys had the same amazing eyes. Especially the youngest, Bryce.
The first time I met Bryce, he was in diapers, chasing his older brothers around the house with a stick.
All three boys followed in their dad's football footsteps. High school studs, college scholarships.
Bryce just finished spring drills a few weeks ago at UNLV, and was recognized for his outstanding play.
He and his roommate took a few days off and went to Lake Arrowhead, California for some relaxation.
On July 3, Jay got a call in Dallas at midnight. It was Bryce's roommate. Bryce had fallen off a skateboard and had hit the back of his head on concrete.
He was unconscious. Over the phone, Jay heard the helicopter in the background picking up Bryce.
Bryce has been unconscious since. Six feet four inches, 240 pounds of muscle, he lies in ICU at Loma Linda University Medical Center about an hour east of Los Angeles.
I first heard about it today. I called ICU, and managed to reach Jay.
I made the drive over this evening.
The Saldi's are now living in Loma Linda to be close to Bryce. Their world is upside down.
The Saldi's went thru a tough divorce in 2000. There are two sides to the story. And it now doesn't matter.
All that matters is getting Bryce healthy and back home. The non-nuclear family is now all living together in a rented house 1400 miles from home.
Being all too familiar with how one phone call can change everything, my heart broke talking to Jay.
Over the years, I came to find out I wasn't the only person he intimidated. When he played for the Cowboys, his nickname was "Dr. Rude".
I've seen him weep twice.
Once at a men's retreat when he recounted how Tom Landry led him to salvation thru Christ our Savior.
Jay has fought alot of battles over the years. He said nothing compared to this.
Lord, watch over this family and Bryce.
How we long to see those bright eyes again.

Penn Live reported that an accident on I-81 shut down the interstate just south of East Hanover Township on July 25. The shutdown occurred between the Route 72/Lebanon exit (Exit 90) and the Route 934/Annville-Ft. Indiana Town Gap exit (Exit 85). WGAL News 8 reported that the shutdown was due to a tractor trailer crash. The truck was hauling over 200 gallons of sulfuric acid, which leaked onto the interstate.
Have You Been Injured In An Interstate Traffic Accident? Is The Insurance Company Denying Your Accident Claim?
Insurance companies, especially insurance companies for trucking companies and truck drivers, work very hard to prove their insured is not responsible for the crash. If the insurance company can prove its driver is not responsible for the crash, the company does not owe you any money for your damages. Do not let an insurance company do this to you. Contact our office now for a free case evaluation with an experienced Harrisburg car accident attorney.
Gather Evidence To Prove Fault
It is crucial that you have evidence to prove the other driver is at fault for the collision in order to receive compensation for your injuries. If you cannot prove the other driver is at fault, you cannot receive any money for your damages. Therefore, at the scene of an accident, try to collect as much information as you can regarding the collision. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Information about the other driver including name, contact information, insurance information, and description of the vehicle
- Names and contact information for any eyewitnesses at the accident scene
- Name and badge number for the officer investigating the accident
- Photographs of the accident scene, including the vehicle involved, skid marks, traffic signals, traffic signs, and the surrounding area
Do Not Talk To The Insurance Company Until You Consult With One Of Our Attorneys!
Discussing the accident and/or your injuries with an insurance adjuster can be damaging to your accident claim. Insurance adjusters are not working for you. It is not their job to make sure you receive compensation for your injuries. Adjusters work for the insurance company. Their job is to limit the company's liability whenever possible.
Our attorneys are working for you! Our goal is to get you the maximum compensation allowable by law for your injuries, damages, and losses. To do this, we perform an extensive, comprehensive accident investigation to identify and preserve key evidence we use to prove the other driver caused the collision. The accident investigation is the foundation of building a strong case.
Don't Jeopardize Your Accident Claim - Call Our Harrisburg Car Accident Attorneys First!
Call Handler, Henning & Rosenberg LLP for a free consultation. Our personal injury attorneys are here to protect your legal right to a fair and full settlement. We will not stop working until we have achieved the most positive outcome possible in your case. Our accident attorneys treat each case with personalized attention to detail that you need for a successful injury claim.

A Free, Downloadable Email and Texting Risk Management Questionnaire for Counselors
Email and Texting Risk Questionnaire
This document is meant to assist therapists in discussing the risks of email and texting so that the client can make an informed decision about accepting, not accepting, or reducing the risks of these popular communications media.
Another helpful article from Person Centered Tech:
Professionalism In Engaging With Clients by Email and Text
How do you talk when you type your texts?
The question of appropriate language in texts and emails is long-discussed and fraught with angst. College and high school teachers lament the intrusion of “texting speak” into formal papers. And some professional organizations have discouraged clinicians from using emoticons or emoji in professional text messages, despite their heavy use by clients.
Besides the language of texting, there’s also the question of the therapist’s availability. Mobile phones have all but destroyed the concept of having to wait for someone to become available before you can speak with them.
Let’s explore some perspectives on these issues.

Cinema time! 🎬
It was a long time coming that we'd release another video and this one has been ready for quite some time but we only wanted to release it when the restaurant was open and not in lockdown. But since it's not clear when that is going to be, we figured it is better to share it now because in a few months it will be doing new things again. 🤷🏽♂️
If we get out of this crappy situation (COVID-19), we'll be able to announce some very cool news pretty soon! 👀
Stay tuned! And for now, enjoy the video!

“My question – not a solution, but a question – is this: Is absolution not possible in this case? And if absolution, then also Holy Communion?
He asserted that “there are many themes, many arguments in our Catholic tradition that could allow this way forward.”
It was at this point that the cardinal stated that the average Christian is not meant for heroism.
Saying that for divorced and remarried persons to live and brother and sister is heroic, he added that “people must do what is possible in their situation.” (Source)
To answer your question, your Eminence, let me offer these remarks:
1. No. A divorced and “remarried Catholic” cannot be absolved in their sin until they turn away from the relationship they are in and renounce it. It would be tantamount to an imposter insisting that absolution be granted to him, but he still refuses to renounce his deceitful ways and believes it is a legitimate way of life. This concerns basic moral theology and logic, but sadly today among the Princes of the Church, all that glitters is apparently not gold. Where precisely did these theologians go to school?
2. The remarks about heroism say more about what the Cardinal believes about his own ministry more than it does about what a Catholic is called to.
3. Cardinal Kasper appears to accept “situational ethics” – a basic moral error expounded by the great heretics of bygone centuries.

"The Pathway of Light" is a new Christmas tradition in Madisonville that celebrates more than the birth of Jesus Christ.
The production director is Glenn Jones, who happens to be the Minister of Music at Madisonville's First Baptist Church. Jones says the production does depict the nativity but Jesus' life story is so much more.
"The story really begins at Christmas and ends with the resurrection, and we felt like we needed to tell the whole story," Jones said.
For that reason, the "Pathway of Light" is different from many Christmas depictions.
This is the second year in a row that Jones has given his direction to the reproduction. More than 200 cast members from 10 different congregations across denominational lines have joined their faiths to touch the hearts of a community.
"The common thread with this is that out here on the field and in the cast, there are no Methodists," Jones said. "There are no Church of Christ, or Baptists. We're all just children of God telling the same story."
By illustrating Jesus' life as a whole, Glenn is hoping those who walk the path know why the birth of Jesus is celebrated.
"We know that while he was here on Earth, he ministered," Jones said. "He healed people, and he also died and rose again for all of us."
Thirteen live scenes give visitors along the path a front row seat at some of the most well-known moments of Jesus' life. While on the journey, those who attend are reminded the "Pathway of Light" left by Jesus is the reason for the season.
"Pathway of Light" is on the grounds of the First Baptist Church. It is open to the public starting Thursday evening and runs through Sunday evening from 6:00 p.m to 9:00 p.m. Admission is free for all ages. However, reservations are required.
Fifteen to 20 people can make up one group. Tour groups are taken on the pathway every 10 minutes. Organizers say the tour itself lasts about an hour. A mule-drawn wagon is provided for those who are physically-challenged.
To make reservations or for more information, call the First Baptist Church of Madisonville at (936) 348-2686.

Bandcamp : https://dreckneck.bandcamp.com/album/dirty-habits-rule-us-all
Released October 23, 2018
Dreckneck came over to the White Noise Studio to record the follow up to their 2017 debut Ep ”Dreckneck”.
We decided to record the basic tracks live and do additional guitar and vocal overdubs. It meant that the drums, bass and guitar were recorded at the same time.
The band plays in a way which is similar to a gig or rehearsal. This has the added benefit of a tighter feel for the band and a great performance. Ofcourse, bleed in some of the microphones was to be expected.
We didn’t use headphones during basic tracking. All amps were on the setting which made them sound best.and played best for the band. Harm’s fuzzpesals and guitaramp were tweaked to have a ”everything is going to hell” sound.
The bass amp was adjusted to have more mids and less low end. it’s easy to overdo the low end in recording, which you have to eq out in the mix. Better make sure the source sounds good!
The bleed ( in short: the sound of instruments other than the sound of the instrument the mic is intended for getting in the mic) is actually a good thing. It helps glue the entire mix together, given the bleed is not way too much.
We did encounter of 1 issue of bleed which wasn’t wanted.
For the basscabinet, we used a blend of a Neuman TLM103 and the DI out of the great sounding Ampeg head.
The cymbals of the drums reflected against the speaker the microphone was positioned for and ened up on the bassguitar microphone track.
So although the ”blindspot” of the mix was aimed towards the drums to have the drumsound blocked as much as possible in the microphone, the reflection against the speaker was an issue.
We resolved that by re-amping the bass. We recorded only the DI track, and reamped the bass after the band did their initial recordings. Worked like a charm.
The vocal overdub was done mainly with the BPM CR76 tube mic. On a few occasions, like on the song Highway Man, we added a vibe vocal by distorting the vocal while recording. The recording chain was a simple sm58 through the Crate GX -15R amp recorded with an Sennheiser md409.
All guitars were overdubbed with a different guitar to ensure both guitar sounds were different enough form each other to create a big sound. We recorded all guitar parts to decide in the mixing process which doubled parts were used and where they weren’t.
The band normally plays with 1 guitar live, so all doubled guitars were really recorded to add some extra beef for the recording only.
Most of the mixing for this album revolved create vibe, dynamics and atmosphere. The band plays stoner influenced music, so a swampy, desert type of feel is what where after. Not smooth and polished. One thing we did to accomplish that was not to tidy up the mix. We left in a lot of noises to have a raw feel.
We set out to mix Martijn’s drums to sound big and relentless. One thing to get to this sound was to make sure the attacks of the snare, toms and bassdrum were streamlined to have a unifrom character.
We did this by creating a sub buss for the drumattacks only. All drums were routed to this bus and then gated to only have the attacks. This was then distorted and compressed and mixed in slightly with the rest of the drums. This gave a very solid, relentless vibe to the drums in the mix for this album.
Another thing to add some massive presence to the drums were the recorded roommics. We compressed and distorted these in varying degrees and mixed in more or less according to the song and dynamics in the song.
At the start of the track ”Highway Man” you can hear these distorted roommics very well.
The intro of the song is almost only roommics with a little bit of close floortom mic.
Gijs’ bass was reamped because we had some reflection issues in the bass’ microphone.
Before reamping we added some more midrange and a bit of compressions because, although we already reduced low end and midrange on the amp during initial recording, we felt it needed a bit more presence.
One of the major advantages of reamping is you can do this inside the DAW before recording the reamped bassamp again. Of course, the fuzz on the bass helps a lot with the presence of the bass.
The bass is not mixed fully dry upfront. it has a litle bit of chorus going on to add width in the mix.
All guitars were recorded double.
We left it to the mixprocess to decide when the guitar was used doubled or just single.
The main reason fot his was dynamics and flow of the song.
So we have songs which start with one guitar panned on one sided, while the otehr enters a few bars later and tracks which start with full blaze from the beginning.
The guitar al ready sounded really raw and somewhat destroyed from the recording, which what fully intentioned. A bit of added midrange brought out some more dirtiness and we reduced a bit of low end to bring out the low end of the bass.
Harm’s vocals were treated with all sorts of distortions and delays. Pretty much all vocals have a bit of slapback delay happening because it blends so well with the music and keeps to voice upfront.
All vocals were doubled. The doubling was differend per song from being one vocal doubled with the same pitch, a clean vocal doubled with a raw one or a lead vocal with an octave underneath it.
It’s really different per song. It adds to the flavor and the diversity of the songs..
Same with the delay, we used longer delays when the pace of the vocal was a bit slower and no delay or shorter delays with faster paced vocal tracks.
Distortion was the same. Harm already has a great grit on his voice so distortion wasn’t really need on a lot of parts. We had great fun paying around with these effects. A great example of a massive delay and reverb addition on the vocal is at 02:38 in the track ”Dead and gone” were the vocal goes into a sort of endless feedback delay loop to crossover in the instrumental part after it.
We did everything on this album. The recording, mixing and mastering.
For mastering the entire mix was mixed down to a stereo mix before mastering.
That master mix was then mastered in it’s own mastering session. A proper mastering sessions like we do for all mixing sessions we also master.
In this mastering, some slight overall frequency balance changes were done by adding some highs and compressing the lows a bit. We had the studio’s Transformifier unit running in parallel, which adds some very nice high smooth harmonics. We ran the entire mix through our BAse masterbuss compressor which is a real SSL masterbuss compressor under the hood for subtle masterbuss compression and some great coloration.
We also did some mastervolume adjustment for dynamic contrast. So chorusses tedn to be a dB louder than the verses for instance.
One of the reviews of the album, in Classic Rock Magazine, states: “The excellenty monikered Dreckneck seem the most likely to have a dead body in the trunk of their car. Big throbbing riff-rock, mud crusted fuzz”

Colored diamonds have become a favorite for people of all calibers. They occur naturally and they are some of the rarest of colored diamonds which make them very valuable and popular. Diamond manufacturers have not been able to meet the ever-increasing demand for green diamonds, and that is why they are hard to find in most retail locations.
Formation of Green Diamonds.
When exposed to radioactive materials during the formation period, some perfectly colorless natural diamonds acquire green color. This rarely occurs, as the combination of conditions necessary for formation of green diamonds hardly exists simultaneously. Colored diamonds mainly occur when natural diamonds are formed close to a uranium ore. Inclusions on the surface of the diamond are normally responsible for the color. In the case of green colored diamonds, green color imparted by alpha and Beta radiation normally penetrates the stone, but much of the green color is lost even before the formation can be completed. This explains why the actual formation of green diamonds is still an enigma to many people. Faceting and cutting also do away with the green coloration, and whenever the green color is still visible, it is undoubtedly unique.
It is worth noting that the fact that green diamonds are formed as a result of irradiation does not make them radioactive. You therefore do not need to worry when purchasing these diamonds. Furthermore, they have been worn by people from all walks of life and there is no single incidence of radioactivity that has been reported.
In most cases, green diamonds just have a hint of green color, but other cases, though rare, gamma rays may have imparted the green color deeper into the stone, making it appear entirely green. Mostly, the extent to which green color is imparted depends on the strength of the radioactivity, length of the exposure and the size of the gemstone.
Green diamonds also occur in several variations, just like any other colored diamonds. Loose green diamonds are some of these variations. There are various shades of green also. Additionally, some green diamonds are modified by brown, yellow, gray and blue diamonds. Considering that blue diamonds are also very rare diamonds, the green-blue variation is the most valuable modifier of green diamonds.
Synthetic green diamonds are also available. They are formed by having more irradiation on the slightly colored green diamonds to intensify the color or synthetic formation of green colored diamonds from scratch. Keeping in mind that synthetic diamonds are acceptable in the diamond market, you can go for these diamonds if you are thinking of getting uniquely-colored diamonds for yourself or your loved one without spending a fortune.
Green-colored Diamond Jewelry.
Green colored jewelry has recently dominated the jewelry and fashion industry, and that is why increased production of green earrings, necklaces, rings, and beads has continued to increase in heaps and bounds. The lovers of colored jewelry will tell you that green diamonds are must-have wardrobe facets.
They are very outstanding, and that is why celebrities from all corners of the world love them. They capture a person’s lifestyle and class in a style that is second to none. This is what makes green diamond jewelry expensive and popular at the same time. If you are looking for a unique engagement ring, try a green diamond and see how it makes your loved one feel.
Whenever you are looking for any form of diamonds, you are always advised to be careful to ensure that you don’t deal with unscrupulous dealers who will make you spend your hard earned money on fake diamonds. Instead, look for a certified diamond dealer. Specifically, a reputable green diamond resource company would be of great help if you are looking for green diamonds. For whichever form of colored diamonds, you can get help from registered and authentic dealers
The Healing Properties of Green Diamonds.
Diamonds are believed to have healing properties. Green diamonds are particularly believed to help a woman during childbirth. It is therefore a symbol of motherhood.
In summary, green diamonds encapsulate revitalization and rebirth. Remember that green is the color associated with money and Mother Nature. It stands for balance, prosperity, freshness and progress. You definitely can’t go wrong when you choose a green diamond for a gift to your significant other.

Abstract Number: 387
Preference: Poster Presentation
Last modified: November 9, 2009
Working Group: sq3
Two-week average PM$_(10) and PM$_(2.5) co-located filter samples were collected over two different seasons at approximately 20 locations in St. Paul, MN as part of a larger EPA-funded study on the health effects of chronic exposure to coarse PM. Coarse mass concentrations were computed by difference and had a mean value of 3.9 micrograms/meter$^3 (range below detection to 11.5 micrograms/meter$^3) in winter and 7.6 micrograms/meter$^3 (range 4.4 to 15.7 micrograms/meter$^3) in summer. During the winter sampling period, the ground was covered with snow. A simple land use regression (LUR) model was employed using a number of spatial covariates to predict the variation of the PM$_(10-2.5) across the urban area. Summer concentrations were only associated with a few traffic variables, including the sum of A1 road lengths (CFCC classification system) within 500 meters and A2 road lengths within 100 meters (R$^2 = 0.75, RMSE = 1.6 micrograms/meter$^3). Winter concentrations were associated with the sum of A1 road lengths within 750 meters and residential population within 150 meters (R$^2 = 0.45, RMSE = 2.0 micrograms/meter$^3). Positive matrix factorization was performed on the winter samples using a standard suite of trace elements via XRF. A four factor model was obtained with most of the coarse mass associated with a single factor with high relative loadings of Na, Cl, Fe, Ni, Cu, and Ba and a distinct absence of Ca and Si. We interpret this as a winter road salt factor. The LUR model for this feature had slightly improved performance over coarse mass alone (R$^2 = 0.53) and included the sum of A1 and A3 road lengths within 750 meters.

By Heidi Biggar
MaXXan claims it is beginning to gain some traction with its intelligent switching platform, particularly in the area of disaster recovery.
"We launched our switch with IPStor 2.6, but we still needed compression, encryption, etc. This is a big jump," says Ravi Chalaka, vice president of marketing at MaXXan.
In addition to expanded disaster-recovery functionality, MaXXan touts added support for a variety of storage services, including capacity-on-demand, real-time data migration, backup-and-recovery acceleration, zero-impact backup, real-time virus scanning, and remote-monitoring services. The features are all enabled by IPStor 4.0.
MaXXan also has a partnership with Veritas to develop embedded application processing cards for its line of switches and appliances. MaXXan currently supports Veritas NetBackup.
According to Chalaka, 60% of MaXXan's switch sales last quarter were to users specifically looking for disaster-recovery capability. The remaining 40% were sold to users looking for file-serving and storage consolidation services.
While the market for intelligent fabric-based switches is still in its infancy, vendors such as Brocade, Cisco, and MaXXan expect user interest in this technology to increase over the coming months as intelligent fabric switches become more generally available and application support for the products increases.
By moving application intelligence off hosts and storage subsystems into the storage network on switches or other devices (e.g., controllers and appliances), users are expected to benefit from easier SAN deployment, management, and scalability, as well as potentially lower costs.
In the case of disaster recovery, fabric-based intelligence can perhaps help companies use less equipment, pre-installed software, and heterogeneous disk systems to protect their data on-site and at remote locations. In doing so, they can potentially reduce their total cost of ownership.

Well, I went out for sunset last night (and sunrise this morning). Got some reasonable photos, although the light was pretty ordinary. Had pizza and a glass of wine for dinner, and went to bed. I’m out of here soon, and planning to get back down off the plateau and into better weather, and then stop and take it easy for a day or so. I’m doing fine with getting back to LA in time for my flight, and need to slow down and get some spoons back. But it’s been spectacular!
(Later) OK, that didn’t quite go according to plan. I was heading out of the park when the sun started to break through the clouds, so I turned around and headed back to the rim. Another couple of hours, lots more photos (much better with better light), then in the early afternoon down to a little town called Seligman, where I stayed at the Stagecoach Inn – which the owner apologetically explained hadn’t been renovated since the 1950s. They laughed at me when I told them I needed a room with internet, but that a shower was a much lower priority. So I got internet, a bed, an original ’50s pink bathroom, and a heater that kept me warm after some coaxing from the owner, for the princely sum of $45. What more does a body need?

Mykonos Airport(Redirected from Mykonos Island National Airport)
|Location||Mykonos Island, Greece|
|Elevation AMSL||405 ft / 123 m|
The airport first operated in 1971.
During the off-peak tourist season the airport has limited flight connections and operating hours. On the other hand, during the 2014 peak summer season it was found necessary to severely limit general aviation activity, allowing only a technical stop of 2 hours. For the summer of 2016, NOTAM B0335/16 introduces a similar limitation, but now even down to a one hour's stop.
In December 2015 the privatisation of Mykonos International Airport and 13 other regional airports of Greece was finalised with the signing of the agreement between the Fraport AG/Copelouzos Group joint venture and the state privatisation fund. "We signed the deal today," the head of Greece's privatisation agency HRADF, Stergios Pitsiorlas, told Reuters. According to the agreement, the joint venture will operate the 14 airports (including Mykonos International Airport) for 40 years.
Fraport started managing the airport from 11 April 2017.
Future of Mykonos Airport - Fraport Greece’s investment planEdit
On 22 March 2017, the Fraport-Greece presented its master plan for the 14 regional airports including the Mykonos Airport. Immediate actions that will be implemented at the airports as soon as Fraport Greece takes over operations before the launch of the Summer 2017 season include general clean-up, decrease wait times to check in and reduce flight delays, upgrading sanitary facilities as well as enhancing services and offering new free Internet connection (WiFi).
The following summarizes the enhancement changes that will be implemented for Mykonos Airport under Fraport Greece’s investment plan until 2021:
- Expanding and remodeling the terminal – 50 percent increase in the total size of the terminal at 13,350 m2, with the construction of a new terminal area
- New fire station
- Reorganizing apron
- 33 percent increase in the number of check-in counters (from 12 to 16)
- 17 percent increase in the number of departure gates (from 6 to 7)
- 25 percent increase in the number of security-check lanes (from 4 to 5)
Airlines and destinationsEdit
The transfer time from the town to the airport is about 10 minutes.
Transit bus service is provided between the Airport and the city of Mykonos (Chora) and other destinations, (only during summer season). There is a public bus stop in front of terminal building. Tickets can be purchased by the bus driver.
By Car : Access the Airport quickly and easily, by driving your own car. Mykonos Airport is located 3.5 km from the city of Mykonos (Chora) and is easily accessible via Mykonos provincial road. The journey to and from the city centre takes about 10 minutes. Ornos, Psarrou, Platis Gialos are 3.5 km away from the airport and the journey from the Airport takes about 10-15 minutes.
By Taxi : 24/7 metered taxi service is available outside the Mykonos Airport Terminal building. The journey from the Airport to the city of Mykonos (Chora) is about 10 minutes and the fare is normally 15€.
For directions using a GPS device, find below the physical street address and the geographical coordinates of Mykonos Airport. All you need to do is enter the following information in your GPS device.
Airport Latitude and Longitude: 37°26'3.16"N25°20'44.68"E

The 1984 National League Championship Series was played between the San Diego Padres and the Chicago Cubs. San Diego won the series three games to two to advance to the World Series. The 1984 NLCS was the first postseason series EVER for the Padres since the franchise's beginning in 1969. Because Katie Ann Blair arrived in the world in the middle of the series, her father hence forth referred to her as Katie Cub Buster.
It's been a busy couple of weeks, hence the delay in this post. But Matthew and I couldn't let our annual pumpkin carving pass by, so we decided to have Halloween in November. After his birthday we made an excellent Jack and Jill. Our neighbors probably thought we were weird--- just blame it on the baby. I already do that for everything else- poor kid doesn't have a chance. We loved coming home the first week of November to the lit up gords and a slice of my famous Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream cake (Matthew's annual birthday request).
Can you guess which one Matthew carved?
I'm so excited for a week off of work as we prepare to give thanks after our 12 hour car ride to Dallas. I will be giving thanks for car games and Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving!!! Oh and maybe a few other significant and less trivial blessings.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll wake up at 5:15 am, get dressed in the closet so as not to wake my husband, and drag myself out the door just as the sun begins to peek over the trees. I can’t say I look forward to that brief daily feeling of, “Ugggghhh…seriously?” as I feel around in the pitch black for my buzzing alarm clock. In fact, I hate it.
But the truth is, I don’t have to wake up at 5:15 for school. Yes, hard as it is to overcome the initial pain and frustration, I’ve actually made a habit of getting out of bed even earlier than is necessary to begin my early-morning job. Over the years, I’ve found that I enjoy scoring a few bonus hours each day–the kind of hours that most late risers never see. When school work and copywriting requests build up (with the occasional blog post thrown into the mix) those few extra hours come in very handy, indeed.
Each day, I walk into the school building while the halls are silent. This allows me to get a few pages of writing/ lesson planning done before my supervisor needs to see me, or the kids start knocking on my door with questions. When class finally does start I feel wide awake and energized, and I start the rest of my day already feeling like I’ve gotten a lot accomplished.
Would-be writers everywhere can benefit from getting up an hour or two before the rest of the world begins. “I don’t have the time,” they shout over and over again, never realizing that the time could be there if they only knew where to look.
No less a writer than the best-selling Marry Higgins Clark has spoken on the importance of getting up early:
When my children were young, I used to get up at five and write at the kitchen table until seven, when I had to get them ready for school. For me, writing is a need. It’s the degree of yearning that separates the real writer from the “would-be’s.” Those who say “I’ll write when I have time, when the kids are grown up or when I have a quiet place to work,” will probably never do it.
If Higgins Clark can get up early to write while working full-time and raising five children alone, what’s your excuse?
This week, I ask all aspiring writers to set a new goal for themselves. Instead of forcing creativity at the end of a long and frustrating day, set your alarm for an hour or two earlier and get the writing done when you still feel fresh and rejuvenated. Waking up super early may be tough at first, but try to fight through it. You can promise yourself little rewards for each day you get up on schedule, but soon you may find that the bright feeling of accomplishment–and the growing pile of pages–is reward enough.
Next Week: ‘Comma’ and Get It, People!

The fastest Porsche 911 GT3 R takes up the long-distance classic in Germany’s hilly Eifel region from position eight. In the Top 30 Qualifying, Sven Müller started as 19th and achieved his best time in his second lap clocking a time of 8:18.110 minutes. For Sunday’s race, the German from the town Bingen shares the cockpit of his #59 Porsche fielded by Manthey Racing with Hari Prozcyk, Randy Walls and Steve Smith.
With a 2.999-second gap to the leaders in the individual time trials, his team colleague Mathieu Jaminet (Matteo Cairoli/Otto Klohs/Robert Renauer) planted his 500 hp #12 nine-eleven on P11. Behind him, Frédéric Makowiecki (also Manthey Racing) posted 16th with the #911 car (Romain Dumas/Patrick Pilet/Richard Lietz) and Martin Ragginger from Falken Motorsports (Jörg Bergmeister/Laurens Vanthoor/Dirk Werner) on position 25 with the number 44 vehicle.
Over 600 drivers in more than 160 cars take up the Nürburgring 24-hour race on Sunday at 15.30 hours. With a record number of 44 vehicles competing, Porsche has the largest contingent at one of the world’s largest motorsport events, to which more than 200,000 spectators are expected.
Comments on the Top 30 Qualifying
Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President of Motorsport and GT Cars:
“We’re not dissatisfied with the result and we’re now turning our complete focus to preparing ourselves for tomorrow’s race.”
Sven Müller, 911 GT3 R (59), Manthey Racing: “I’m very pleased. The two laps of the Top 30 Qualifying are the best of the entire weekend, because you have a free run and you can really go flat-out. The conditions were difficult because the sun was low. There are two or three corners where you’re virtually blinded by the light. I feel we’re well prepared for the race.”
Mathieu Jaminet, 911 GT3 R (12), Manthey Racing: “I’m happy with my performance. I managed to post my best time in the first lap, which put us on position eleven. The field is very tight and our car feels good. I’m feeling confident for the race.”
Frédéric Makowiecki, 911 GT3 R (911), Manthey Racing: “I came in after one lap because I couldn’t improve on my time with deteriorating tyres. The car seems quite okay, it would have been better to have landed further up the grid, but the race is over 24 hours and we’ve hopefully found a good setup for this.”
Martin Ragginger, 911 GT3 R (44), Falken Motorsports: “We opted for a softer tyre compound and obviously the conditions were too warm. The car was very difficult to drive, particularly on the Nordschleife. P25 is not the best starting position, but our speed looks considerably better for the race and I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”

We have just found out that Guy Etchells (who runs a website for the Guys of Bottesford, leicestershire ) has received a decision from the Information Commissioner Richard Thomas granting him access to one particular 1911 record (for Bottesford in Leicestershire) via the Freedom of Information legislation. The Information Commissioner ruled that confidentiality could only be applied to details of people’s health or mental infirmity, which did not apply in the case of the particular record Guy requested. Go to The Information Commissioner's website to read the decision notice
The National Archives has just announced two services in advance of the official 2012 full release date.
Starting in January, TNA will offer a limited research service where the address of an individual in the 1911 Census is already known. There will be a non-refundable seach charge of £45 (see www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/1911census ).
Meanwhile, TNA said it hopes to offer a searchable online service in early 2009, with key sensitive information withheld until 2012.
Well done Guy!

This Friday is a date that comes only once every 28 years - Friday, February 29th. This year is a leap year, with an extra day added at the end of the month of February to help the modern Gregorian calendar sync up with the astronomical calendar. It's needed because the actual time between two yearly solar events, such as the vernal equinox, works out to be 365.2422 days -- resulting in almost one extra day every over the course of four years.
Of course, since it's not almost one day, the rules for leap years are a little more complicated than 'every fourth year.' If a year is divisible by 4, it's a leap year -- unless it's also divisible by 100, in which case it's not a leap year -- unless it is divisible by 400, in which case it is a leap year. (Meaning that while 1800 and 1900 were not leap years, the year 2000 was.) Confused? Let's not even talk about leap seconds. Join us in this segment for a look at leap years, leap days, and the finer points of telling time.

I'm Gna Wear Designer And Forget Your Name
Whenever something Versace comes along I have to refer back to Lady Gaga's song Donatella, hence the title of this post. Listening to that song (and just about any other Lady G song) makes me feel fab just like these jeans do too. I love the colour of them, it draws a lot of attention and it's great to be able to spruce up a casual, black top with them. Usually I wear the ankles rolled up but for the first time I didn't and they actually look like cigarette trousers which I really loved. I've always thought that cigarette trousers wouldn't look right on me because of me being short, but I was proved wrong! The shoes from Public Desire definitely had something to do with this though, they really topped off the outfit and the detail of the laces is really one of the big features of this outfit.
Black top - Primark
*Versace Jeans - Rokit Vintage (all items are one of a kind but they have loads more cute jeans!!)
*Sophia Platform Sandals - Public Desire

Ibadan, Oyo State, 19th February, 2018 – The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP), Senate Committee on Communications and Oyo State Government have commended Airtel Nigeria for launching its 4G LTE – aimed at providing fast and reliable internet for Nigerians.
The Chairman of NCC, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, in his remark at a consumer launch event held recently in Ibadan, said Airtel’s upgrade and expansion to a 4G network in Ibadan will definitely improve telecommunications services and drive economic growth.
“NCC is happy to celebrate with Airtel on this milestone and on other efforts aimed at achieving robust and extensive network coverage in Nigeria. NCC has taken note of Airtel’s numerous giant strides towards the provision of good communication service – accelerating economic growth in our dear country,” he said.
Hon. Saheed Fijabi, Chairman, House Committee on Communications, National Assembly, commended Airtel for continuous innovation and commitment to improve telecommunication service in Nigeria. “Airtel has been one of the companies that have always been complying with local content. We believe Airtel has been doing well and we will continue to give them our support.”
Director General, National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP), Dr. Dan-Azumi Mohammed Ibrahim, also applauded the telco for its customer-centric offering; describing the launch of its 4G LTE has a timely revolution.
The Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Chief Moses Alake Adeyemo, hailed Airtel for deploying 4G in Ibadan, saying that he is glad that Airtel Nigeria has chosen Ibadan to pioneer the launch of its revolutionary 4G service.
He asked the people of Oyo state “to use what has been given to us today to empower ourselves and patronize Airtel Nigeria.”
Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of Airtel Nigeria, Segun Ogunsanya, while speaking during the event, said with the 4G launch, Airtel will power people, businesses and cultural advancement through technology in Ibadan.
“Airtel 4G will help drive growth, spread prosperity and empower the highly enterprising people of Ibadan to fulfill their potentials and realize their dreams.
“Our commitment is to deliver 4G Service that works to Nigerians as we will dramatically improve mobile Internet experience for telecoms consumers across the country.
“Indeed, Airtel is committed to strengthening its position as a true pioneer of innovation in the Nigerian telecommunications domain, as this is in line with our overall corporate vision of becoming the mobile Internet service provider of first choice for every Nigerian,” he said.
The Airtel CEO also confirmed that the telco will be rolling out its 4G service in other cities across the country in the coming months.
Airtel says its Ibadan 4G launch signals a new dawn in the Nigeria’s telecoms landscape and a foretaste of its quest to provide seamless and reliable mobile Internet experience across key cities in Nigeria in 2018.
MTN registers Nigerian business shares before listing
MTN has registered more than 20 billion shares of its $5 billion Nigerian business before its planned listing of the unit in the West African nation, the South African telecoms firm said on Tuesday.
It announced the move shortly after a judge cleared Africa’s biggest telecoms firm on Tuesday of missing a deadline to file a challenge against a $2 billion tax demand, the latest row with the authorities to beset MTN’s Nigerian business.
MTN argues that the attorney general exceeded his power when he issued the backdated tax demand in September. State lawyers had filed a case saying MTN did not file its challenge in time.
MTN Nigeria said after the judge’s ruling it had registered to list 20.4 billion ordinary shares at 0.02 naira ($0.0001) each with Nigeria’s securities regulator, before listing the business that MTN valued at about $5 billion last year.
“We have achieved another milestone in our listing process,” MTN Nigeria Chief Executive Ferdi Moolman said in a statement.
The company said it had started talks with the stock exchange to complete the listing and would meet investors to discuss the plans on May 16.
It has previously said it did not plan to raise funds from investors immediately via the listing.
Nigeria is MTN’s biggest market, with 58 million users in 2018 and accounting for a third of the firm’s annual core profit. But the business has faced challenges in Nigeria, ranging from the tax demand to a fine over unregistered SIM cards.
MTN had said in 2016 it planned to list its local unit on the Nigerian Stock Exchange after agreeing to pay a $1.7 billion fine to settle the SIM card dispute with the government.
It previously said it planned to list in the first half of 2019.
In the tax case, a hearing into whether the auditor general acted within his rights is scheduled for June 26.
“MTN maintains that it is fully compliant with Nigerian tax laws. The company remains committed to meeting its fiscal responsibilities and contributing to the social and economic development of Nigeria,” MTN said after Tuesday’s ruling.
In Lagos, lawyers for the opposing sides had argued over whether or not the telecoms firm responded to the tax bill within the three-month period stipulated by law. The judge ruled that said MTN had responded in 19 days.
In a separate case, MTN agreed in December to make a $53 million payment to resolve a dispute over dividend repatriation.
MTN shares in Johannesburg were up 0.7 percent at 104.37 rand by 1338 GMT.
NCC Move Against Substandard Products
The NCC’s Head of Zonal Operations Department, Helen Obi reiterated the commission’s resolve at the stakeholders’ sensitization workshop on the hazardous effect of non-type approved handsets and impact on quality of service held in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital. Obi, who was represented by Principal Manager of the department, Olatubosun Olakisola stated that the workshop was organised to sensitize telecommunication consumers, particularly mobile phone users on the hazardous effects of non-type approved handsets and the negative impact on quality of service.
He said it was in response to public concern regarding the proliferation of non-type approved handsets and other terminal equipment in Nigeria market which has far reaching consequences on the health, economy and environment that the Commission found it imperative to educate the general public on the menace of using non-type approved and substandard equipment. As a responsible industry regulator, she said the commission was committed to ensure that the consumers were not shortchanged but enjoy their stake in the telecom industry. “As part of our enlightenment programme, we are here on a sensitization program to sensitize the public on the hazardous effects of non-type approved devices and its impacts.
“We have a data base where the public can assess all type-approved handsets. We are talking about quality of service. Some of these handsets have to work with the network. We are talking about safety, protection to the network, protection of general public from all these dangerous equipments.”
World Book Day: Airtel donates books to Underprivileged Children
…holds book reading session across the country
Leading telecommunications services provider, Airtel Nigeria, will commemorate the 2018 World Book Day with public primary school pupils across different locations in the country with the donation of 5000 books and hosting of book-reading sessions.
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Airtel Nigeria, Mr. Segun Ogunsanya, will flag-off the initiative on Monday, 23rd April, 2018, with an interactive session with primary four and five students of one of the company’s Adopted schools, Oremeji Primary School 2, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Ajegunle, Lagos.
During the session, Ogunsanya will share stories to inspire the kids, hold a reading session that will have many of the kids as active participants and donate reading books to the children to instill and encourage a culture of reading.
Airtel says the book reading sessions and book donation exercises will also hold in different locations across the country.
The book reading and donation sessions will take place on Wednesday, April 25 in Kaduna; Friday, April 27 in Abuja; Tuesday, May 8, in Anambra and Thursday, May 10 in Kwara State.
Commenting on the World Book Day Initiative, Airtel’s Director of Corporate Communications & CSR, Emeka Oparah, said the company is committed to supporting underprivileged children and creating platforms that will inspire young Nigerians to succeed.
“We believe in investing in young Nigerians as they are our future leaders. The World Book Day provides a fine opportunity for us to support underprivileged children and inspire them to read and do so much more. We are confident that with the right support young Nigerians will do well,” he said.
World Book Day is celebrated to provide the people with many ideas and plans to make them aware about the situation and condition in the World. WBD is celebrated to provide the people to gather knowledge about many types of Books which makes them to get the specific knowledge about their requirements.

The Tools Used for Curling Hair in the 1920s
Hemera Technologies/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
The 1920s was the time when women wore a bob hairstyle and set them with curls for a more attractive and stylish look. The fashion trend for this era was the flapper look. Women wanted to look their best as they slowly began challenging society and moving out of their traditional roles.
The curling tools used during that time were fingers, tongs, combs and pins. Today, celebrities are seen wearing 1920s waves to create a classy look.
The bobbed haircut was one of the most popular hairstyles in the 1920s. During that era, women who wanted to soften their look and style their hair used their fingers to create waves -- thus, the finger waving technique was created. Finger waving, as the name implies, curls the hair using your fingers and a comb. The waves are close to the scalp and shaped like an "s." The hair is usually wet when finger waving is done. A setting lotion, also known as curling fluid in 1920s, is then applied to hold the waves together. Although this hair waving technique is outdated, celebrities are still seen wearing a wavy hairstyle that looks as if finger waves were used.
Marcel waving, created by Francois Marcel, was also one of the common hairstyling techniques used in 1920s. The hair was curled using curling tongs, which at that time was called the Marcel iron. Long before the curling iron was invented, tongs were used to create waves and curls to women's hair. The curling tongs were heated on a gas burner and tried out on a piece of paper prior to applying the heat to a woman's hair. Marcel irons actually came in various sizes depending on the woman's curling preference. Unlike finger waves, Marcel waves were usually done on dry and totally combed hair. The invention of the curling tongs brought about the development of the curling iron which is popularly used by women today.
In 1920, women were able to create water waves with the use of many combs with the teeth placed upward and a hair net to keep the combs in place. The combs were soaked in water and applied to wet hair. Setting lotion was also applied to the combs to hold the waves when the combs were removed. The water wave comb was manufactured for this particular purpose. In the 1920s different types of water waves were sported by women. The centre part water wave, short part water wave and straight back water wave to name a few were just some of the types of water waves from the 1920s to 1930s.
Pin or Spit Curls
During the '20s, pins were also used to produce curls and waves to women's hair, thus the name pin curls. Such curling tools did not cause damage to the hair and made the curls last longer. In that era, women who curled their hair with pins would then use their spit to press the curls down. Pin curls were also called spit curls because of this way of styling. This curling method can be used to style wet or dry hair. Today, women wear pin curled hairstyle to give them a retro look.

Organizations are looking at ways to manage their information resources. Both the capture and the use of data created by the organization have come under scrutiny. Part of the concern comes from their desire to enhance the business process and part comes from the explosion of data available to any organization. In this context, the role of committees is being examined both as consumers and producers of information. The present work is focused on making the vast amount of unstructured text more useful to committees. An agent environment has been designed and implemented.

Fitted Lifestyle 2016 Aftermovie - I'm not personally happy with the outcome of this video, but after way too much peer pressure from my friends I finished it. I personally think the intro to this video is good after it my head wasn't really in the game. I was having gimbal issues that are VERY noticeable in the video. I fixed the problem (hdmi cable and monitor interfering with the top motor of my gimbal) every shaky shot really pissed me off. What could've been a great video is ruined in my opinion because of that. Hopefully the videos I produce after this and so on will be much more fluid.
The story: I wanted to video to read sort of like a story, with a beginning middle and end. I started off with my friend Kenyon, unfortunately he wasn't able to attend the competition because of car related issues. As the intro goes on it shows Kenyon prepping his car for Fitted. Then transitions into the show portion of the video show casing some of the builds that attended the show. Finally into the conclusion I ended it off with the 1st place static award winner Alex with his red BMW e46.
MITSU X SUBIE/ BAGGED X STATIC
After having a shoot get canceled, i hit up friends nick and trevor to chill, not knowing what kind of video i would produced i just took it as it went. Used the opportunity of fall to get some beautiful rollers, i love how they came out!
SUMMER SLAM JAM 2016 AFTERMOVIE | STANCE EAST | NEW BRUNSWICK | 4K | CJ SHOOTS
Stance east summer slam jam, better known as SESSJ is an annual automotive event in New Brunswick, Canada. Bringing cars from all overthemaritimes this show is growing, and is one you shouldn’t miss!
This was a huge project brought on by stance east, andwhati thought would be a 10 minute video ended up being 20 minutes! my longest video i have ever done. I feel as if in the past weeks I’ve learned so much about videography that this aftermoive could’ve came out better. Although i am content with it, i see many improvements that can be made!
IMPORTFEST 2016 UNOFFICIAL AFTERMOVIE | TORONTO | 4K | CJ SHOOTS
To be honest, this wasn’t going to originally happen. In the last couple days leading to Importfest it was an impulse decision on my side as to if I should or shouldn’t make any sort of video for this show. Well you can obviously see what happened! From a 13 hour day of recording on and off, to 2.5 hours of raw 4k footage, I was able to condense it to my favourite 11 minutes, which is my longest after movie yet!
I usually like working with a story line, but this video is a true event recap. Although I couldn’t record roll in and the bikini competition. I was able to get clips of just about everything. Theres quite a few cars that I missed and wished I got clips of.
Grade wise, I wanted to go with a very cinematic look, thus very contrasty and vibrant. I personally love the way my grade came out and I am learning more day by day about s log and colour grading.
STATIC NISSAN 370Z | TORONTO | 4K
Ian approached me about making a video a couple weeks ago, the day came up and the forecast called for a drizzle, Ian was a little hesitant but I jumped to the opportunity, the vibes of a moody day play so well with this song I chose. I decided grading very contrasty would play well with the video.
Classic Porsches are life, so I had to drop by the Oakville Porsche cars and coffee meet! So many generations of Porsche, great seeing everything. Such a beautiful dealership, with a great turn out made an excellent short recap.

Something interesting happened last night, namely that Alabama failed to win the Football Bowl Subdivision national title.
The Tide, which had won four of the last seven national championships heading into last night’s tilt with Clemson, was not supposed to lose this last one. But Bama did lose, thanks to a 400-yard passing performance by Clemson’s quarterback DeSean Watson and an offense which repeatedly misfired in the second half after running back Bo Scarbrough cramped up in the third quarter.
Watson victimized Alabama’s secondary repeatedly in coming back from a 17-7 halftime deficit, and it was fairly clear that Bama badly missed Eddie Jackson, its superstar free safety who was lost for the season with a broken ankle in October. To replace Jackson, Tide head coach Nick Saban moved cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick to strong safety and shifted strong safety Rodney Harrison to free safety. Anthony Averett started at Fitzpatrick’s old cornerback position against Clemson, and he was abused – repeatedly – by the Tigers’ physical wide receiver Mike Williams in the second half of the game.
It was an entertaining, surprising game. From the perspective of an LSU fan who finds conference loyalty a completely overrated concept, it was an enjoyable result.
But as has been the case ever since that night five years and one day ago when Alabama embarrassed a Les Miles LSU team which had strung together perhaps the most impressive regular season run in the history of college football, as an LSU fan watching a national title game the Bayou Bengals aren’t involved in there is the recurring question – what’s it going to take for that to be us?
And with Clemson’s victory, that’s a question which is even more relevant. Because Clemson winning that championship cracks open the possibility, laid dormant throughout the 2016 season, that the unprecedented run of Alabama dominance over the past seven seasons can be broken. The great Bama defense which has buried so many opponents over the past two years is going to take a colossal hit by graduation; they’re going to get cleaned out along the front seven like virtually nobody else in college football, with Johnathan Allen, Tim Williams, Ryan Anderson and Rueben Foster all likely to be first-round picks in April, and Dalvin Tomlinson also moving on to the NFL. They’ll surely have good players to replace those losses, but even Alabama can’t guarantee they can maintain the quality they’re losing. Also in question is whether Steve Sarkisian, whose debut as Bama’s offensive coordinator included 12 straight failures to convert on third downs last night, will be able to match what Lane Kiffin did in managing that offense. When Scarbrough went out, Alabama became fairly toothless offensively other than a big scramble by Jalen Hurts for a touchdown and a long pass to a wide open O.J. Howard for another.
Are we just replacing one big dog on the porch with another, though? Clemson has been in the national championship game in each of the past two seasons, losing a close game to Alabama a year ago before winning last night. Shouldn’t they be thought of as the next dominant team in college football?
Certainly the job Dabo Swinney has done with his program deserves credit, and certainly Watson ought to be recognized as one of the great college quarterbacks in the history of the sport. That said, while Clemson is surely going to compete for a title again next year they’re going to do so without Watson and several other star players. Williams is likely gone to the NFL, as is tailback William Gallman, linebacker Ben Boulware, cornerback Cordrea Tankersley, defensive tackle Carlos Watkins and tight end Jordan Leggett, all of whom were big factors in last night’s victory. They’ve got lots of talent coming back, of course, and with the nation’s top high school quarterback Hunter Johnson a Clemson commitment they should be very much in the mix again. But Clemson has some obstacles in their path in the post-Watson era which begins today, most notably that in their division they have a Florida State team which looks to be very good this fall and Louisville, who will bring back Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson.
And it’s worth noting that while Clemson rose to the occasion for several huge victories this past year – over Auburn, over Florida State, over Louisville, over Virginia Tech in the ACC championship game and over Alabama in the national title contest last night – they didn’t consistently play dominant football. It’s perhaps accurate to say Clemson played great football when they needed to, and otherwise didn’t particularly do so. An example of that was Clemson’s 43-42 loss to Pittsburgh, in which that team’s offensive coordinator Matt Canada was able to shred Clemson’s defense with a lot less talent than one would think necessary to pull off such a win.
Canada is now LSU’s offensive coordinator. And LSU’s defensive coordinator Dave Aranda was the architect of the best defensive effort made in 2016 against Alabama, as an infographic popped out by LSU’s sports information department indicated…
To get into the national championship game, it’s always been true in the modern era that LSU will have to go through Alabama.
Defensively, LSU is where they need to be to accomplish that mission, and should remain there this fall. Sure, LSU will lose a slew of very talented players. Jamal Adams and Tre’Davious White are likely first-round draft picks, while Kendall Beckwith, Lewis Neal, Davon Godchaux, Duke Riley, Tayshawn Bower, Dwayne Thomas and Ricky Jefferson are quite likely to stick on NFL rosters in the fall even if they aren’t drafted.
But in virtually every case where Aranda has to replace a departing player he has multiple talented, highly-rated athletes competing for jobs. In the case of Beckwith and Jefferson, both of whom were lost during the season to injuries, LSU has already replaced them with players who should emerge as stars this fall. Devin White is one of the best young linebackers in the college game, and his combination of size and speed gives him an even greater upside than Beckwith. And John Battle seemed to get a little better each week after replacing Jefferson at free safety; he absolutely shone in the Citrus Bowl as the Tiger defense held Jackson and Louisville’s offense without a touchdown.
And despite the loss of Neal and Godchaux on the defensive line, there is reason to believe LSU might get better up front. That’s thanks in no small amount to Christian Lacouture, who was set to start before suffering a season-ending knee injury in fall camp, coming back. And with Lacouture back on board along with returning starter Greg Gilmore and talented part-timer Frank Herron, LSU is going to be able to put three fifth-year seniors across the defensive front for the first time in memory. And that might not even make for the best defensive line they can put on the field, because Rashard Lawrence and Ed Alexander are fairly likely to become stars as sophomores.
Aranda also has Arden Key back, and he’s going to be the premier pass rusher in all of college football. There will be a major battle to replace Bower, with at least three young potential stars (Ike Washington, Sci Martin and Andre Anthony) competing with a fifth-year senior in Corey Thompson coming back from injury in 2016. Replacing Riley is an issue, but the most likely candidate will be Donnie Alexander, who has followed a similar career path to Riley’s so far in his career but has actually accomplished more than Riley had to this point. He’ll probably have to hold off Michael Divinity, who word has it will be moving to the Rover position from the outside linebacker spot at which he started a couple of games as a freshman; Divinity is a talent in his own right.
Replacing Adams, White and Thomas in the secondary is a tall order, but if there is anybody in the country who has recruited better in the secondary over the last three years than LSU we’d like to see it. The battles at cornerback and strong safety, which will spin off a nickel back to replace Thomas, will be each at least five-way contests between former big-time recruits, many of which have already gotten valuable experience. Kevin Tolliver, for example, has been a starter – though his sophomore season was ruined by a nagging shoulder injury and some time in the doghouse. Ed Paris, who might be moving to strong safety to compete for Adams’ job, has played fairly extensively as a cornerback the past two years. Kristian Fulton and Saivion Smith both saw some time at cornerback last year and will factor heavily in the mix at corner, as will Greedy Williams, who redshirted last year, and incoming star Kary Vincent. At strong safety it’s an armageddon of sorts in the spring – there is Paris, sophomore Xavier Lewis, redshirt freshmen Eric Monroe and Cameron Lewis and superstar true freshmen Jacoby Stevens and Grant Delpit, both of whom enroll early. With so many people fighting for jobs carrying so much by way of credentials, you will find star players.
Where LSU is going to have to make major strides is on offense. The six-game losing streak against Alabama has come courtesy of inept, atrocious offense much more than any failings by the defense. In the first of those losses, the 21-0 national-championship disaster in the Superdome five years ago, LSU’s defense kept the team in the game but ultimately an offense that couldn’t move the ball past midfield doomed the effort. And after that LSU’s performance on offense against Alabama has been a succession of failures – 17 points in 2012, 17 again in 2013, 13 in 2014, 16 in 2015 and zero this past year. But the failures against Alabama have been, for the most part, merely a reflection of bad offense against every good defense LSU has played over the past five years.
That’s why Canada is now here, and that’s why he’s charged with modernizing and updating the offense to be something a lot more balanced than the simple smash-mouth attack LSU has relied on, not to mention introducing a bit of misdirection and deception into one of the least imaginative offenses in all of football. If he’s successful in doing that it will make the offensive line, long the source of consternation surrounding bad performances against good defenses, look a lot better. He’s certainly got a pair of potential superstars at the skill positions to build around; D.J. Chark’s announcement he’d be back for his senior season gives LSU one of the most underutilized talents in all of college football to play a role as the slot/motion receiver Canada used Quadree Henderson to such great effect in at Pittsburgh last season. And speaking of underutilized, Derrius Guice – who will be a Heisman candidate at tailback for LSU, didn’t carry the ball one time against Alabama as a freshman in 2015 and had only two carries for eight yards against them this past year. Guice is much better suited to run against Alabama’s defense given his elusive style than Leonard Fournette was, and yet he was ignored in both of those games – a major strategic error which won’t be made this fall.
Which brings us to the final question, that being quarterback. It’s not fair to ask Danny Etling to be DeSean Watson, but can Etling do enough to put sufficient points on the board? That we just don’t know. Certainly Etling can play better than he did against the Tide, and with a year of experience under his belt he should be expected to. That’s if he is in fact the quarterback, as the position is wide open in the spring and summer. Finding a quarterback who can do more than just “manage the game,” as Etling mostly did last season outside of the Alabama game, is crucial for LSU – bad or average quarterbacks simply don’t beat the Tide. If Etling is going to be behind center he’s going to have to emerge as a star. He showed flashes against Texas A&M that he can do a bit more than people give him credit for, but to make that a consistent condition is going to require both development of his accuracy and a far more quarterback-friendly offense than the one he’s played in so far. If Canada is the offensive coordinator he’s touted to be, that’s a realistic expectation.
Is it realistic to put LSU in the national championship mix this fall? That’s debatable. It’s true that Alabama largely owns this team over the past half-decade, but after Clemson’s victory there is at least a reasonable basis for belief that streak can be broken.

SHOULD I FIX IT . . OR TRADE IT IN?
Sitting at the front counter of Simmons 4×4 AutoServiceCenter, that’s one of the questions that I hear and try to answer every single day. In trying to answer that question, there are a couple of things that have to be considered. Are we talking purely financial and economic figures, or do we have to factor in the emotional commitment you may or may not have to your particular vehicle?
This is a decision I found myself having to make a few years ago. My old 1990 Ford F150 was starting to lose oil pressure after about 200,000 miles. Even though I change the oil on a regular basis, and follow a strict maintenance program, engines wear out, and mine was worn out. Since I test drive a lot of diesel trucks that are in for repair, I figured it was about time to step up to the plate and get rid of my old gas burner. So I headed down to my friendly Ford dealer and started pricing out a new diesel. When all the options were added up, I was looking at about a $50,000 truck, and this was 4-5 years ago.
If we are talking purely financial numbers, then it is almost always better to repair your vehicle than purchase a new one. Buying a new vehicle is one of the worst financial decisions you can make. It is estimated that new vehicles lose about 45 percent of their value within the first year. So from purely financial terms, would you invest your savings in a fund that was going to lose 45 percent of its value in one calendar year with no hope of ever getting it back?
With this in mind, I had to decide how much I loved my old truck and how much I really wanted a diesel. I put pen to paper, priced out what it would cost to replace the engine in my old Ford, rebuild the transmission, transfer case, rear differential, and suspension components and came up with a workable figure. Then I figured out how much it would cost me to insure a new diesel truck, how much it would cost me to register a new truck and put together a “pros & cons” list to look over with my wife.
Her first question gave me the answer I needed. “I thought you loved Big Red. Why would you want to get rid of him,” she asked.
So we brought the emotional factor into the decision. Financially it made much more sense to repair my old Ford than it did to replace it. Literally 10’s of thousands of dollars a year. Money that could be used for traveling and seeing this great country of ours. Money that could be used for recreational purposes like playing some of the great Tucson golf courses. Money that wouldn’t disappear into the thin air of depreciation, registration and insurance fees that I would never see again. And I do love my old truck. It’s taken me camping and fishing. It moved all my belongings to Tucson. It’s always started and gotten me where I wanted to go. Why would I consider kicking it to the curb and replacing it with a shiny new moneypit?
Financially, and emotionally it was an easy decision to make. I decided to keep Big Red around. I replaced the engine, rebuilt the transmission, transfer case, and the differential. I did it all for less than 2 years of payments on a new diesel. My insurance costs go down each year, and it costs me $20 a year for registration. We continue to take camping and fishing trips together, and I don’t have to worry at all about any new “Arizona Pinstriping”.
Aftermarket manufacturers have engines and transmissions for nearly any vehicle you may drive. They come with 3 year/100,000 mile nationwide warranties. The seats can be reupholstered, and sound systems can be upgraded. If you want to add a paint job then you can. It sounds like a lot of time and work, and it is. But it’s a decision many of us will have to make.
For me, when I considered the fact that I love my old truck, and weighed the costs of repair against buying a new one it became a simple decision. Every person and every vehicle is different though. How will you decide? Should I fix it or trade it in?

The primary intent is to create flying specialists unencumbered by the traditional career paths of the unrestricted line (URL) community. A secondly goal of the program would be to provide another avenue of opportunity for the enlisted community.
P-3 (Source: US Navy)
There are some restrictions to the program, CWO's will be limited to the Patrol (VP), Electronic Attack (VQ(P) and VQ(T)) and the HSC and HSL helicopter working aviation communities, no Topgun fighter slots. Enlisted Sailors from the Nuclear, Naval Special Warfare(SEAL/SWCC), Naval Special Operations (EOD/Diver) and the Master-at-Arms communities are not eligible.
Helo Transfer (Source: US Navy)
The program is open to enlisted grades E-5 through E-7 who if selected would have to be commissioned before their 27th birthday, have obtained at least an Associate degree, are physically fit and pass the Standard Aviation Battery test.
Once the CWO's receive their wings they are obligated to 8 years of service for pilots or 6 for naval flight officers.
It has been sixty five years since the Navy had an enlisted to pilot program with the last enlisted naval aviator retiring Jan 31, 1981.
If you're not a submarine nuke maybe you can get your wings as well as dolphins. Applications are due to Navy Personnel Command (PERS-432M) no later than March 31.

Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- The Pentagon has directed the Navy to assume a ``greater presence'' in the western Pacific by adding at least one aircraft carrier and five nuclear submarines over the next decade, according to a draft of the Pentagon's review of strategy and forces.
The increase will put half the Navy's aircraft carriers and 60 percent of its submarine fleet in the Pacific and is largely driven by the Pentagon's concern over China's increased military might, according to a congressional defense analyst.
But QDR recommendations also look to increase submarine production, also reported in (Bloomberg):
As part of the increased presence, the review recommends that the Pentagon in 2012 increase production of the General Dynamics Corp.-Northrop Grumman Corp. Virginia-class attack submarine to two annually from the current rate of one a year.
I read (here) that China's military buildup is hollow when it comes to submarine capabilities. However, if the QDR recommended submarine production increases are true then the Pentagon sees a challenge coming over the procurement horizon.
The Chinese in the meantime have started to take delivery on the approximately $3.4 Billion worth of Russian built Sovremenny-class missile destroyers and eight Kilo-class submarines ordered in 2002. Both a brand new Kilo diesel-electric submarine and a Sovremenny missile destroyer were delivered in December.
Of course the best anti-submarine platform is another submarine, but in the interim I guess one of these will fill the gap until 688i's and Virginia's can make their way to Pearl, Guam and points west.

What I'm interested in describing is my impromptu enlistment as docent and submarine artifact, the people I've meet and the friends I've made while volunteering during the spring and summer.
First is the Rhode Island Base of the USSVI Submarine veterans organization. After visiting the Juliett museum last year I found this group of brothers of the phin and joined their organization. I feel like a n.u.b. being the only T-hull sailor amongst men with experience going back to WWII but I'm also honored to be a part of such fine group of people. Our January meeting is coming up tomorrow and it's on the Juliett. Should be like being in the shipyard again, meeting in a construction trailer while it's cold as a witch's tit outside. All before going down to the boat to talk about repairs and maintenance.
During the spring and summer I put in a small part of my weekends volunteering on the Juliett. That's when I met Ric Hedman, the manager of the Juliett museum during the summer season. Ric is a submariner, past USSVI base Commander of Seattle base and author of the best collection of 1900 to 1940 submarine photos on the web Through The Looking Glass. Ric also helped restore the Foxtrot Class Russian boat now a museum in San Diego. He taught me a lot about the way the Russians designed and built their boats.
I volunteered to get my hands dirty and learn what I could about the Russian sub. It's been a kick to have free run on something that was so mysterious when I was on active duty twenty five years ago. Even though Ric wanted to get things cleaned and fixed on the "Rusty Rusky" he always emphasized that it was a museum and most customers were looking to tour a submarine despite the lineage, hence my enlistment as occasional docent.
Most of the time I would be working on board when someone on a tour, guided or self guided, would stop by and start asking me questions. The usual tourist questions about the sub, how big, how deep, how fast, at sea how long, crew complement, weapons, etc. But occasionally the first question would be "What boats were you on?" - Alert One, Alert One another bubblehead or submarine enthusiast is on board - this pushbutton's bilge therapy session is done for at lease an hour! Don't get me wrong I found these to be the most enjoyable conversations.
There's a rundown of the people that fit the submarine enthusiast category:
Former enlisted sailors from a variety of 41 for freedom Boomers, 637 and 688 Fast Attacks. A-Gangers, NavETs and Sonar Techs always looking at the little details and shaking their heads in disbeilef at the way the Russians did things.
A former Officer who was an XO on a T-AG ship and worked on the SOSUS system back in the 70's. For some reason he was interested in the sonar shack and the sub's propulsion system.
Yardbird on loan to EB from NNS looking for the reduction gears (his bailiwick). Sad to say the Juliett has a direct drive system, although he wasn't disappointed and was bringing back a co-worker the next day.
A former mustang Navigator who served on two Boomers and started as a NavET.
A military family of a former Sub driver dad, F-14 Tomcat driver son and two DOD employed daughters.
A family of boat sailors, father was a retired A-Ganger, son number 2 was attending sub school and son number one was a Sonar Tech (SS) who had recently returned from the Russian AS-28 mini-sub rescue on the Kamchatka peninsula. Would have been interesting to have had a longer conversation with him about his Kamchatka adventure. All I remember him relating to me was he got some souvenirs and saw an Akula putting to sea.
Now for a couple of non-military tourist observations:
One interesting group was three of the crew from the schooner Amistad, sailing ship of the movie fame. They were interested in the historical aspects of the Juliett, where it had served, how it was acquired, etc. All but one old salt, he was busy reading all the Russian equipment labels. Turns out he was Bulgarian and I think the Engineer of the Amistad. I now know where the Kingston valve actuators are in the engine room.
I saw a number of young American men bringing Russian girls on dates to the "Rusty Rusky", what is up with that? Most of those Russian girls look fairly disinterested in the sub. I'm thinking if the tables were turned these guys would be thinking WTF if she dragged him off to a Russian beauty parlor filled with 1960's vintage American manufactured hair dryers.
I agree with what Ric the museum manager said to me once or twice, that having someone who had been there adds color and depth to the visitors experience. Since early November I've taken a break from being a Soviet Navy weekend warrior but plan on going back soon.
The Docent thing will be happening soon down the coast at the U.S. Navy Submarine Museum at the New London Sub Base as well. Currently all parts the Navy's Submarine Museum are self guided.
USS Nautilus (SSN 571) Museum dock Submarine Base New London, CT
People who have been to the U.S. Navy Submarine Museum before coming to the Russian Juliett have commented that the quality of the Museum was excellent but it lacked the personal touch the docents gave the Juliett. This from last weeks New London Day article "U.S. Navy Submarine Museum To Do The Docent Thing"(registration now required view):
One of the most noticeable things about walking through the
U.S. Navy Submarine Force Museum is a layout designed to invite a
self-navigated tour of submarine history.
Which is fine — until visitors have a question.
And then the realization sets in that, outside of the employees in the
museum store, there really isn't anybody around to supply any answers.
It's a concern that retired Capt. Mike Reigal, the museum's executive
director, hopes to remedy with the implementation of a volunteer docent
“It puts a real human face on the museum,” Reigal said. “There are times
one can walk into the museum and not see anybody, except for other
visitors. It kind of depersonalizes the whole thing.”
The Groton base of the U.S. Submarine Veterans has about 20 members volunteering for this new docent program. Looks like an opportunity to defect or maybe become a double agent?

Pushbutton NavETs at Damn Neck, VA circa 1981
Which one of these NEC 3322 NavETs in training is Lubber's Line?
Hint: I'm NOT the E3 or E7 on the end - their port side your starboard.
Please no comments about short, long or crooked gig lines, the wife could read this.
P.S. If I had joined for the uniform I would have volunteered for the Marines and not Submarines. Blame the sea cadet look on Z-Gram numbers 34 or 87 in the linked list.

The draw down of submarine construction and repair work and the Brac decision to keep Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS) open has created an interesting fight between shipyards. The not hiring and maybe firing of shipyard workers or (Yardbirds), from Seacoastonline.com Yard banned from hiring more workers excerpt:
PORTSMOUTH - The Navy has placed a hiring freeze on Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, according to shipyard union president Paul O'Connor.
O'Connor said the freeze was put into effect last month after lawmakers from Connecticut had a "knee-jerk" reaction to the news that Portsmouth would receive a $59 million contract that was originally scheduled to go to the privately owned Electric Boat in Groton, Conn.
The contract in question is for the scheduled overhaul of the USS Philadelphia (SSN-690).
Electric Boat (EB) had announced the layoff of 150 workers and PNS the need for 330 more workers just prior to the Philadelphia's overhaul work being shifted to PNS. Subsequently EB in the beginning of December announced that as many as 2,400 jobs could be cut in 2006 due to the loss of repair work and the Navy's procurement of only one Virginia Class submarine per year in the foreseeable future.
Add to the above, the fight that has been churning over the ASDS program and you just hit the equivalent of a east coast shipbuilders trifecta including the Navy PNS yard, Electric Boat and a smaller Northrop Grumman contract.
The yardbirds are fighting over the crumbs (overhaul work and not new construction) compared to the cold war shipyard boom times. I still feel that the capacity and experience offered by PNS is still a valuable asset to our national defense. However, when you build one type product for only one customer the lean times can kill the complacent. Look for any other shifts in contracts relating to submarine overhaul and repair to meet with lots of resistance that probably wouldn't have been there 20 years ago.
Update 01/10/06 20:00 - Looks like EB is now getting a slice of Northrop Grumman's work on the USS Texas - Electric Boat Wins $85 Million Contract for Sub Work (hat tip: TheSubReport). Could this be to quite the noise generated from the above stated contacts or just that they're doing good work now a days as Bubblehead has cited recently?

A Weaponette was checking up on me and I was afraid the Snipes and 'O' Gangers were next. I'm not a "Admin Warfare Specialist" so hopefully I filled out the proper paperwork below and can get back to blog duty soon.
Unauthorized Absence (click on form for a larger version)
The reason for the absence is not that I "float tested" my PC or anything. Just been going through a change of command at work (Corporate Merger) and decommissioning of my office (Layoff). Not to worry though, I was asked to "ship over" to the new command but decided to go TAD (Contracting) instead. I guess there's too many "strikers" left and they need this former NavET to keep her in the channel.
OK, that was my Navy slang attempt to sound like a "Sea lawyer": an argumentative, cantankerous or know-it-all former sailor.
Thanks for checking up on me and I'll be back posting soon. - LL

Do you know creamed spinach? It is, in my opinion, one of the dishes given to us by the gods to make our lives more than usually glad. I even loved it when it came out of those horrid little plastic packets that ’60’s moms dropped in boiling water before snipping open and decanting. I loved it when you could get it by the bowlful in a little restaurant in downtown San Francisco: a perfect lunch. I have loved it in every incarnation I have ever eaten it in steakhouse restaurants specializing in the stuff as being the only side that didn’t overly gild the beef lily. I even loved it through my many experiments with overly fussy recipes: bechamel, garlic, white wine and all.
But really, as so often proves to be the case, simplest is best. Simplest, unadorned, classic, one skillet creamed spinach. Easy. Quick. Adorable. Liable to draw loud bouts of applause at the dinner table. Delicious and good for you.
This is how:
A big armload of fresh spinach (more than you think you’ll need, it cooks down incredibly like all greens)
Wondra flour (or plain flour, but Wondra mixes better)
Salt & pepper
Take your large bag, or part of a large bag, of preferably organic spinach. Dump in a colander. Wash thoroughly—fresh spinach has a tendency toward clinging dirt, a sign of its serious organic intent. Drain but don’t shake off all the extra water still clinging to the leaves.
Heat a large skillet on medium low (or big pot, or whatever you have, as long as it’s big enough to hold the spinach before it cooks down). Add a chunk of butter. Say one or two tablespoons.
Mince one or two shallots, however many you like. Add to the butter. Push around until they start to sizzle and soften. Don’t brown them (although if you do, don’t panic, they’ll still taste fine as long as they’re not burned).
Add a tablespoon or so of Wondra or plain flour.
Watch carefully now, so the flour and the shallots don’t burn. Stir around so a paste forms and cook it a bit.
If you’ve used plain flour, turn the heat way down and cook it an extra few minutes to get the floury taste out. Wondra mixes more quickly, so you don’t need this step.
When a paste has formed and is starting to turn golden, prepare to act quickly.
Turn the heat up under the pan to about medium high. When the contents of the pan start to sizzle attractively, dump in the spinach with the water still clinging to its leaves. This is important. It’s this water hitting the hot pan and creating steam as it evaporates that is going to cook your spinach quickly, so it maintains its lovely fresh spinachy taste.
Turn the spinach over and over in the shallot butter as it cooks. Tongs are very useful for this. Watch the fresh spinach shrink and turn into cooked spinach.
Squeeze some lemon over, as much as you like. Hear it sizzle? It’s cooking the spinach too, as well as adding flavor.
Add a little salt. A little fresh ground pepper.
Now stand over the pan with your carton of cream. Add a little. Stir till it amalgamates with the butter and flour. Add a little more. Stir again. Add as much as you want, and cook down till it looks creamy and good.
Grate some fresh nutmeg atop. A grate or two (I usually do three). You won’t taste it later, but it’ll make a difference.
Turn off the heat. Give it a final stir.
I made this on Easter to go with a lovely bit of lamb for my brother John, and he immediately asked how it was done—it tasted so much of our childhood festivals. Then I served it up last night to my friend Lanny (there was spinach left in the fridge from the Easter binge on the weekend) to go with a mushroom and garlic frittata, and SHE said it reminded her of eating in a German restaurant when she was a child, and how did I make it? So it seemed important to get it down. It’s so simple and good, and it does tend to remind those of us of a certain age of a happy childhood. Even when the childhood in question wasn’t really particularly happy. It was, though, I maintain, whenever we ate creamed spinach.
Creamed spinach to the fore! Onward!
(And don’t forget leftover creamed spinach is a very handy thing to have, if you can ever manage to have some. Folded into a French-style omelet it is, I still maintain, food for the gods and goddesses in your life. Put some sauteed mushrooms atop, and sit back to bask in the admiration of those you love.)

Like most schools around the world, my university was forced to transition to online learning once lockdown was announced. It definitely took a lot of getting used to, especially when I had to use apps I had never heard of before (I’m looking at you, Zoom). Here’s what online learning was like for me, as a medical student.
The case of pre-recorded lectures
Since our professors were doctors, they weren’t able to give us lectures over Zoom. Instead, we were given access to last year’s lecture recordings. It was convenient to keep up with the course at my pace, rather than having to sit through four lectures back-to-back and leave even more lost. However, a major drawback was the quality of the videos. Some lectures didn’t have audio as the lecturer had forgotten to turn the microphone on. Furthermore, there was no one to hold me accountable to actually watch the lectures. There were days when I just wanted to curl up with a mug of hot chocolate and reminisce about the good old pre-lockdown days. I also really missed the general atmosphere of a lecture. Sitting in a theatre with a hundred other students who are just as confused as you builds a certain sense of camaraderie and willingness to collaborate.
“I quite looked forward to them because it felt nice to talk to other medical students and catch up with each other”.
Anatomy minus cadavers
Anatomy was an exception to the lectures. Throughout the course, we had a non-recorded anatomy lecture followed by a practical. Once the lockdown started, the anatomy staff produced several videos for us to watch. We were also given an anatomy app to explore to get a grasp of the concepts. Personally, this didn’t work at all for me because the last module we had was the locomotor system, which essentially involves around a million different muscles. Working with cadavers consolidated what had been taught at lectures, and I felt like I was grasping at thin air when working through the content online.
Tutorials: to cancel or not to cancel?
All of our tutorials related to microscopy and pathology were cancelled. The only tutorials that were continued were our problem-based learning (PBL) sessions. In PBL, we are split into groups for the whole semester and are given case studies to analyse, research and discuss. These sessions were held twice a week, as usual, over Zoom with our facilitator. I quite looked forward to them because it felt nice to talk to other medical students and catch up with each other.
One advantage of online learning was the increase in exam-revision tutorials not just organized by the students at the university but organizations outside too. Although I only attended the university-organized tutorials, I’ve heard great things about the others too.
How to stay focu—oh look! A bird!
“In the end, studying gave me something productive to do every day”.
I’ll be brutally honest: I found it incredibly tough to motivate myself to keep working. At times, I wanted to wallow about the state of the world; other times, I was consumed with homesickness and abhorred myself for choosing a course where exams hadn’t been cancelled, and we were still given work to do.
It was tough. I made a schedule for myself, counting down the days before the exam day and spreading work out as evenly as possible. In the end, studying gave me something productive to do every day. I’m one of those people who always feels horrible if I haven’t accomplished something for the day. Being able to watch a lecture, make notes and try to learn the content made me feel good about myself. I wouldn’t let myself do anything, “fun”, until I had gotten that out of the way in the morning. That way, I had the rest of the day to look forward to.
How were exams conducted?
Our exams are multiple-choice questions with some very short answer questions (VSAQs), and they’re done digitally, on computers. The only change this semester was we were given access to the portal on our own laptops or home computers. The exam was open-book, which meant we were allowed to look through our notes or lecture slides. We were, however, not allowed to discuss the question with our peers. (So, we weren’t allowed to organize a call on Houseparty and do the exam together.)
Although some aspects of medical school worked really well online, such as the PBL sessions and the exams (ha, I doubt they’d make the next ones open-book!), I can’t wait until we have in-person sessions once more.

John Hoien was born and raised at Øste Vraa, Denmark. When he was 19, his parents borrowed money from a banker for his ticket to America, the land of opportunity. He traveled with his sister's family, sailing from Esberg to Hull, England. There they had to wait for a ship. They slept in the station, and one night John felt hands running over his hip pockets. He rolled over and went back to sleep because he knew enough to have his money in his coat breast pocket. In the morning, several people were yelling that they had been robbed.
The ship, Saxonia, finally came, and they embarked for Boston, arriving in May 1903. They had relatives in Iowa, so they went there first. Then John heard that there was work to be had in South Dakota. He went to Conde, where he got a job as a section hand on the railroad between Conde and Groton.
As he worked, he noticed a lot of gophers along the right-of-way. John secured some traps and set them as the crew went out in the morning. He collected the gophers as the crew came home at night. He was paid 2 cents a tail for the gophers. It was not long before he had enough money to buy a trunk in which to keep his clothes, all paid for by the gophers.
John did not have boots or work shoes and was struggling to make his thin-soled shoes hold together until he got his first pay. With this money he went to a dry-goods store in Conde run by Mr. Place, where John was fitted with a good pair of work shoes. There John had his first experience with a merchant offering to "put it on the cuff" if the customer had no money. But John had money and paid for the shoes. To show his pleasure, Mr. Place threw in a pair of work socks to boot.
John worked on the section and also for farmers. He spent almost no money on himself, so in two years he had sent enough money to his parents to payoff their loan.

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then CAPPER’s Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from CAPPER’s readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

A man accused of plotting a deadly explosion that damaged or destroyed more than 80 homes in an Indianapolis neighborhood should have known the scheme could kill people, even if that wasn't his intent, a prosecutor told jurors Monday as the murder trial began.
Mark Leonard, 46, is charged in the Nov. 10, 2012, blast that killed 36-year-old Jennifer Longworth, a second-grade teacher, and her 34-year-old husband, John Dion Longworth, a product developer for a consumer electronics company. Leonard also is charged with 46 counts of arson, two counts of conspiracy to commit arson and one count of conspiracy to commit insurance fraud.
During her opening statement, Marion County Deputy Prosecutor Denise Robinson said she isn't going to argue Leonard intentionally killed the Longworths, who lived next-door to Leonard's then-girlfriend Monserrate Shirley. But Robinson said Leonard should have known deaths were possible when he planned to use natural gas to blow up Shirley's house, saying the blast was felt in Johnson and Shelby counties.
Leonard's public defender, Diane Black, said her client only intended to start a small fire.
"This was a stupid and selfish insurance fraud that went horribly wrong," Black said.
It took St. Joseph Superior Judge John Marnocha 25 minutes to read the charges against Leonard in a videotaped reading played on a TV in the courtroom.
Robinson told the jurors they will hear from many people who lived in the Richmond Hill neighborhood on the city's south side and the impact the explosion had on them, saying nearly every house in the neighborhood sustained damage.
"This was not a gas leak. This was not an accident. This was a substantial act," Robinson said. She added: "This wasn't a house that exploded. This was much more than that."
She said the group was motivated by a desire to collect $300,000 on an insurance policy for the contents of the house.
"This is about greed. This is about money. This is about wanting to get that money," Robinson said.
Black said it was supposed to be just a house explosion and told the jury to consider not just the results of what happened, but who is responsible for what happened. She said the results of the explosion are "obvious and tragic" and that children who live in the neighborhood can't sleep well at night and the neighborhood will never be the same.
"It's going to cry out to you to mete out the strongest punishment you could based on the results," Black said. "But what we must look to, what we're going to struggle with, is the responsibility."
Black said some of the responsibility goes to Shirley, who reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in January. She agreed to plead guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit arson in exchange for her agreeing to testify against Leonard and the others charged in the explosion.
Black said Shirley didn't say a word about Leonard being the person behind the plot until she struck a plea deal.
"She was desperate and this is how she dealt with it," Back said.
David Shircliff, another attorney for Leonard, told potential jurors during the selection process Leonard would not testify during the trial.
The trial was moved to St. Joseph County, about 140 miles north of Indianapolis, because of widespread media coverage of the case in central Indiana. The trial is expected to last four to six weeks with about 175 witnesses expected to be called.

More seniors are divorced or separated: StatsCan
The proportion of divorced or separated seniors who are 65 and older has tripled in the last three decades, according to the latest Statistics Canada figures. In 1981, only four per cent of seniors were divorced or separated. By 2011, that number had risen to 12 per cent.

The proportion of divorced or separated seniors who are 65 and older has tripled in the last three decades, according to the latest Statistics Canada figures.
In 1981, only four per cent of seniors 65 and older were divorced or separated. By 2011, that number had risen to 12 per cent.
However, the majority of those seniors ended up finding another partner, whether they got married again or moved in with a common-law spouse.
In 2011, 76 per cent of senior men and 55 per cent of senior women who ended up single eventually found love again, according to StatsCan. About three-quarters of them re-married, while the rest ended up in common-law unions.
The 2011 figures also suggest that the rates of divorce and common-law relationships will likely increase with Canada’s future seniors.
About 20 per cent of people between the ages of 55 and 64 were either divorced or separated in 2011. About 3 in 10 also had at least two unions during their lifetimes, compared to 19 per cent of those 65 and older.
Common-law relationships were also more prevalent among that age group in 2011. Twelve per cent of Canadians between 55 and 64 had common-law partners, compared to only six per cent among those 65 and older.
StatsCan also notes that senior couples are now closer in age. Close to half of Canada’s 1.7 million senior couples had an age difference of three years or less in 2011, up from 40 per cent in 1981.
