Hello friends! Last week we introduced you to Julie from WA, who dropped in to share her thoughts on some new tunes for kids. Today we've asked Julie for her feedback on another album, ¡Uno, Dos, Tres con Andrés!, by Andrés Salguero and Luis Angel Bonilla. These guys produce fun, bilingual music for kids. Read on!
For anyone looking to diversify their car related music options, the album "1 2 3 con Andrés" (produced by Andrés Salguero and Luis Angel Bonilla) is a great choice. It's live, boppy and friendly but can also be soulful and at times quite relaxing. The appeal of this album lies in its "world music" like sound; track number 6 "If I Had a Mariachi" is a perfect example!
The main singer & songwriter, Andrés Salguero, originates from Colombia and has an extensive history in Latin-American music but wanted to deliver an album dedicated to families and having a bilingual purpose.
I have always been a closet language lover (I appreciate others' talents in the area!) and this kind of CD allowed me to indulge in a fantasy that I could again attempt to learn a new language. The writer/ singer draws parallels between English and Spanish seamlessly and one could be forgiven for thinking language is easy to learn at an older age. And for younger kids, with their spritely minds, this is a wonderful time to expose them to new cultures and languages.
This is a mostly educational album (such as track 7, "My Friend Manuel") but that is expertly hidden by the live music, with a diverse range of instruments including the guitar and trumpets. I particularly liked the songs which pointed out the meanings of words in both English and Spanish; many youngins will love working out the meaning of the words between languages and, if they have a background in Italian, there are obvious similarities there too which are fun to find.
Slightly older kids will love track track 8, which is a true "Love Song" for our furred and feathered friends. It's quirky and, personally, I love a good guitar / bongo combo 🙂
All in all, this album offers music with an abundance of relevant themes for the savvy 3.5-7 year olds and there are tracks about fatherhood, culture and language tips to suit an older audience. And can I mention again track no 8 about a higher love for animals? A big hit with me and a certain five year old!
You can purchase a copy of ¡Uno, Dos, Tres con Andrés!, online or via iTunes.

Not mine.
I don't have facial hair.
He thinks it's fun and hilarious to go into the bathroom with one facial hairdo, and come out with another. Seriously, when I hear the buzz of the clippers, I never know what he's gonna look like, when he comes out.
In the spirit of the season, last week, he came out with an Irish-y type of beard. I don't know if it's Irish, but, the leprechauns sport it. In fact, when he first came out with his new do…he looked not unlike this…
Here's a recent pic of us at SXSW, and Jake sporting his new, fresh, Amish/Irish, bald lipped look…
Funny thing…he forgot about his "fun with facial hair" day that he'd had, and last week, he went to renew his drivers license! Do you know what that means?? It means that for the next TEN EFFING YEARS…he's gonna look like a leprechaun on his DL photo!!

Love the Internet...
I have the feeling I am going to be stealing some of that at some point.
People have been asking me if I am going to be watching the Superbowl today and I usually reply "there's a Superbowl?" I haven't watched broadcast television in over a decade. But I am rather curious as to what Lady Gaga is going to do in the halftime show. So, in honor of something or other, let's end with some vintage Lady Gaga. It seems as if the official music video isn't on YouTube any more.

Parc Esta Condominium Beside Eunos MRT
Parc Esta is a new Ninety nine years leasehold development that's the former Eunosville HUDC Enbloc. Jardine Matheson Group Unit was regarded as the leading bidders who submitted an exceptional enbloc plots of land with the assistance of MCL Land. When the unit Eunosville started its name as the 330 unit HUDC estate, it was forecasted that by 2017 it would be successfully leading towards the fourth spot. The price submitted for the plot of land was also the second highest after Farrer Court in 2007 which indicates that developers are optimistic about real estate market in Singapore and the limited plots of land under the Government Land Sales Programme isn't enough to sustain the appetite of the developers in the currently upbeat real estate market.
The Changi Road and Sims Avenue can be viewed even from far distance since its just in front of Parc Esta, the former Eunosville HUDC. Parc Esta Condo has full and one of a kind facilities, which includes a guard house, clubhouse, function room, indoor gym, tennis court, 50m swimming pool, sun deck, BBQ pits & children's play area. The condo's facilities provide full family entertainment needs for your family and loved ones. Indulge in a serene and tranquil lifestyle right in the heart of Parc Esta location.
Parc Esta Condo would be established in a central plot of lands that shows a prospect customers to invest in. Eunosville has more long years to make a name in the estate market and forecasted to reach up to Seventy one years. The Parc Esta MCL Land have estimated about 1399 units base on the size of the land, the price and ratio of the investment.
In the area where the 330 units including Parc Esta was situated was once called Eunosville which was just a walk away from Eunos MRT Station. Right after the sales Farrer Court was sold out, it was considered as the 2nd collective sales achievement. The amount of the plot of land that was sold to Jardine Matheson Group is quite inexpensive as what Analyst realized. With the 255 maisonettes of the Eunosville HUDC, around Six residential unit was blocked and about 4 walk-up apartment blocks along with the 75 units. The expected price tag based on the acquisition price is around $1,700 – $1,750psf.
It was 50 years in the service since numerous residential building was established with the assistance of Singapore's MCL Land. For the longest time, Hong Kong Land along with MCL Land was known to be the reputable property holdings across the Asian cities namely: Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, Jakarta, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Macau, and Bangkok.

Prada is a brand that needs very little introduction. Introduced in 1913, the label has gradually built itself into a fashion powerhouse, becoming a stalwart of glamorous Italian fashion, as well as reworking itself in recent years into one of the most fashion-forward labels too. The brand now encompasses an enormously wide selection of lines, from eyewear through to fashion and fragrances. Prada also makes an elegant line of luggage with options for every occasion. Sleek, wheeled carry on bags, quilted make-up cases in juicy bright shades, woven duffel bags and deerskin travel totes are all part of the sophisticated range.

Cok guzel bir noktaya barnah bastiniz sayin Muzo. The Wire'in ustunluklerinden sadece biri:
"With most TV shows and movies, music is used to manipulate emotion," says Wire music director Blake Leyh over the phone from his studio in New York. "In The Wire, the music is just part of the sound landscape. It's used to increase the verisimilitude. We're telling the story with the music, sometimes, but not very much. It's mostly about creating the environment, and making that environment more believable and more real."
"Once or twice per season we'll have something that amounts to a montage," Leyh says. "Every other time there's music in the show and it's being played as source music--they're driving in a car, or they're in a bar and music's playing on the jukebox, they're standing on the street slinging and there's a boom box there. And it's always played very rigorously, as if it's coming from the source."

To remove cooked-on dirt and caught-on grime, soak dishes in a sink full or hot water and coffee grounds for up to an hour.
You must remove cellulite when it seems as it will get worse with age.
Removing Cellulite In Your Legs
Among the very typical locations you'll find cellulite in your body is on your thighs, which will be where the term cottage cheese thighs comes from. They appear in foods as salts e.g.
When Stanley determined the family would move for the eighth time and settle in Hawaii Madelyn noted to one of Anns buddies Aesthetic Fat Removal Operation in the UK Surgery Consultants are here to assist you each step of the way lose weight but haven't had the opportunity to slim down or Sharing of the video Atkins encouraged the notion Results of evaluations done on Cellumend Cellulite Cream.
Besides java scrubs and wraps, you can even produce a coffee cream in the home to do away with the unwanted cellulite. A lot of people have apparently had success with it. This option might be used orally at the same time as A skin scrub. Lifestyle additionally impacts the look and formation of cellulite in a woman's body. It's stated that only smelling the coffee upon waking up in the morning will work for the brain. It still has lots of properties which will help other wellness problems for example cellulite. There aren't any precise treatment that's actually able to get rid of cellulite totally and forever, including routine application of warm coffee grounds.
Java Grinds For Treating Cellulite At Home
Just about all women have problems with cellulite, a condition where skin resembles cottage cheese. Tangerine oil enhances circulation, and detoxifies the body while breaking down cellulite. Thus, aside from removing cellulite, in addition, it works on other skin problems and helps the skin appear healthy when you make use of this cellulite java wrapping.
Additionally, valuable worms might be brought to your own compost with all the inclusion of old java. Java even offers amazing benefits for the skin since it's packed with antioxidants and anti inflammatory benefits. Java is, in addition, an excellent ingredient to utilize to tame under eye circles when you join it with vitamin K. Vitamin K is a proven ingredient to neutralize the purple bruising colour underneath your eyes due to anxiety or lack of slumber. My skin is smoother, clearly, but it's also tighter as well as the cellulite dimples have gone down.
Take warm coffee grounds and spread on distressed regions, wrapping with damp seaweed (can be bought at health food stores) then cover with plastic wrap. So to scientists from your University of Navarra in Spain, plunger, filter and espresso coffeemakers made the greatest amounts of antioxidants in coffee grounds, while mocha-style coffee makers the lowest. Jessica Alba was on Dr. Oz touting the advantages of this at home coffee and coconut facial, and frankly, I am a little embarrassed that this has not happened to me before.
Sure, diet and exercise are critical components which you should integrate into your anti-cellulite attempts, but you can even put in a fast DIY scrub which really helps to break up the concentration of fatty tissue deposits and present your skin a more smooth look. To remove cellulite you must raise lypolysis which is the breaking down of fat. Combine the grounds with vitamin E oil and massage on the place where cellulite exists. The movement in using the scrub to get its maximum effect is thru circular motion.
Anti-Cellulite Exfoliating Face & Body Scrub Sugar is a superb ingredient for deep exfoliation which really helps to remove Home Made face and body scrub by Reviva Labs Skin Lightener for Day Fade Cream at Walgreens. Rough coffee grounds may be used as an exfoliating scrub to eliminate dead skin cells and regenerate brand new, healthy cells. Coconut oil may help reduce bacteria and moisturize your skin to get a healthier glow while cinnamon and turmeric have anti-microbial properties that can prevent the development of bacteria causing acne. Exfoliating with coffee grounds will help stimulate the flow of blood, encouraging healthier and tighter skin.
Plus coffee is a diuretic therefore it removes some of the fluid out the fat beneath your skin that you simply thought it can lessen the look of cellulite! Below are a few tricks of the trade for this beauty treatment. So, why don't you use coffee grounds as a body scrub to our lower extremities to take care of cellulite. Before you sow carrot seeds, combine them with some old dried coffee grounds to give them an energy boost right from your getgo.
Dry brushing is among the most straightforward means to do away with cellulite in your thighs. Used coffee grounds are a great medium to grow many types of mushrooms, including oyster mushrooms. Java will possess precisely the same shrinkage impact on the face therefore it is ideal to get a little ' puffiness. I am not truly convinced that using java in the shower is really gonna make really a strong change in your body as time passes.
Should you'd like to make use of it as A body scrub you'd just combine 3 parts of apple cider vinegar having A cocoa butter oil or massage oil and apply to the area where you've cellulite a couple of times daily. Coffee grounds are believed to become an productive strategy to flatten out those fat deposits to help you wear whatever clothes you enjoy without feeling embarrassed about your lumpy skin.
The result: I felt refreshed, as well as energized, oh wait, that was the caffeine kicking in. My skin felt a little tighter, but the cellulite was still there. Cellulite is considered by many to be genetic while others say it is gravitation on the job but as we age, a number of us only get it and a number of us do not. For those who have oily skin, you may choose to blend ground coffee with salt and put it to use as among your cellulite home treatments. Simply steep your used grounds in two cups of hot water after which rinse this through your own hair. Before lathering up your tresses along with your favourite all-natural shampoo , scrunch some of coffee grounds into wet hair. It's possible for you to add more oil, or coffee grinds or sugar with regards to the consistency you prefer.
It's crucial that you don't use decaffeinated coffee as it's the caffeine that reduces the cellulite. Exactly the same properties that supposedly empower java to decrease the looks of cellulite can smooth and tighten your skin, along with the feel of ground coffee will buff away dead skin cells, also. Other studies on java additionally demonstrate that it may lower hazards of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, colon cancer, and sometimes even skin cancer. Research in the University of Sao Paulo has shown the application of skin lotion containing caffeine reduced the size of cellulite fat cells by 17%. Begin with your legs, sweeping quick and short, upward blows from low to high, concentrating on areas where cellulite is observable.
Massaging your cellulite might help break up the clumps of fat that sit just below the top of your skin. For those who have dark circles under your eyes, try rubbing the grounds right on your own skin. After remaining wrapped for about 10 minutes, take away the plastic wrap and wash the area with heated water. I will be quite certain that in the event that you do this java earth/cellulite treatment, you happen to be planning to find some favorable effects. Rub used, damp coffee grounds by your furry friend 's fur after bathing to repel fleas without questionable, likely-hazardous compound treatments. Combine 2 cups of coffee grounds with half a cup of rough salt (or sugar) and with 3 teaspoons of yoghurt.
Update on the lotion… okay so I took your recipe and I was still pumped from my scrub so I thought about doing the same using the lotion, and so I added the same 6 drops each of jojoba oil, Vitamin E oil and also the Palmer's Skin Therapy body oil and additionally I am aware that when making an ordinary lotion individuals use beeswax or soy wax and on occasion even petroleum jelly. Scatter dry, used coffee grounds in issue regions where you become aware of ants in your house or lawn plus they could just pick up and leave.
It's vital that you keep an dynamic lifestyle, as cellulite can and does inflict alot of disappointment to all who suffer from it. I was once a coffee drinker for a decade, just since stopping smoking and drinking 2.5 years past, I finally gave up drinking coffee not too long after and just over the 2.5 year span, I 've I got the unfortunate consequences of weight gain and cellulite.
The java and cellulite treatment, also called the coffee grinds trick, is fairly straightforward to do and could be really good at removing cellulite without a lot of attempt. Mustikkapiirakka (Finnish Blueberry Pie) Foods with Natural Progesterone; Hoodia Chaser Coffee creams cellulite. The Plantain is many different banana seen in tropical areas all over the world. Anyways, yes cellulite is quite tough to dispose of (from what I hear, I am not just suffering from it myself) … and it is quite fascinating that even a star like Hallie Berry works on the trick in this way instead of some mad high-priced option.

The biggest difference between the two camcorders is the sensors they both use, and here things get a little complicated. At first glance, the X200 actually looks better than its more premium stable mate, as its CMOS has 8Mpixels whilst the X400's has just 5Mpixels. However, the X400's sensor incorporates back-side illumination, which makes it more light sensitive. So, in theory, the X200 will have inferior low light performance, although Toshiba doesn't state the sensor size for either camcorder, which also has an effect on sensitivity.
The differing sensors have another side effect. Where the X400 boasts a pretty healthy 23x optical zoom, the X200 only offers a more modest 12x. However, the X200's extra pixel resolution is harnessed to provide an Advanced Zoom option, which boosts the factor to 20x. This crops into the sensor, so doesn't lose resolution, whereas a conventional digital zoom simply enlarges the pixels, making the image look more blocky. However, the Advanced Zoom is either on or off. There's no gradual progression between the two modes.
So the X200 has some clear inferiorities to the X400. But it also has lots of the same features. There's a quick menu along the top of the touch screen, which provides access to the backlight compensation, video quality settings, Advanced Zoom, and video light options. It's great to see backlight compensation so readily accessible, and video quality options extend all the way up to Full HD at 30 progresive frames per second. There are also 720p options at 60 and 30 frames per second, plus VGA at 30 frames per second.
You can grab stills at up to 16Mpixels, too, which obviously entails a fair amount of interpolation, as it's twice the sensor resolution. There's a tiny 128MB of memory built in, so the SDXC card slot must be called upon for storage. With the top video data rate sitting at around 12Mbits/sec, you can store around 11 minutes of video per gigabyte.

Solder joints on printed circuit boards provide electrical and mechanical connections between electronic devices and metallized patterns on boards. These solder joints are often the cause of failure in electronic packages. Solders age under storage and operational life conditions, which can include temperature, mechanical loads, and electrical current. Aging occurring at a constant temperature is called isothermal aging. Isothermal aging leads to coarsening of the bulk microstructure and increased interfacial intermetallic compounds at the solder-pad interface. The coarsening of the solder bulk degrades the creep properties of solders, whereas the voiding and brittleness of interfacial intermetallic compounds leads to mechanical weakness of the solder joint. Industry guidelines on solder interconnect reliability test methods recommend preconditioning the solder assemblies by isothermal aging before conducting reliability tests. The guidelines assume that isothermal aging simulates a "reasonable use period," but do not relate the isothermal aging levels with specific use conditions. Studies on the effect of isothermal aging on the thermal cycling reliability of tin-lead and tin-silver-copper solders are limited in scope, and results have been contradictory. The effect of electrical current on solder joints has been has mostly focused on current densities above 104A/cm2 with high ambient temperature (≥100oC), where electromigration, thermomigration, and Joule heating are the dominant failure mechanisms. The effect of current density below 104A/cm2 on temperature cycling fatigue of solders has not been established. This research provides the relation between isothermal aging and the thermal cycling reliability of select Sn-based solders. The Sn-based solders with 3%, 1%, and 0% silver content that have replaced tin-lead are studied and compared against tin-lead solder. The activation energy and growth exponents of the Arrhenius model for the intermetallic growth in the solders are provided. An aging metric to quantify the aging of solder joints, in terms of phase size in the solder bulk and interfacial intermetallic compound thickness at the solder-pad interface, is established. Based on the findings of thermal cycling tests on aged solder assemblies, recommendations are made for isothermal aging of solders before thermal cycling tests. Additionally, the effect of active electrical current at 103 A/cm2 on thermal cycling reliability is reported.

A couple weeks before spring break I did something I hadn't ever done before – I brought an author and publisher into my classroom using Skype. My students were starting to work on some memoir writing and, in a moment of inspiration, I thought to myself, "Why not Skype a publisher to hear his or her perspective on what makes a memoir good?" So I Googled "publishing companies in Vancouver" and followed the breadcrumbs until I found myself at the Harbour Publishing website and speaking with Howard White, a renowned BC author and publisher. Three phone calls later, he Skyped into my classroom and was talking to my students about what makes a memoir good and the process of writing in general. He was brilliant, and my students were totally engaged.
The experience of having a professional writer in my classroom was in itself totally worth it, but there was another completely unexpected byproduct of this Skype conversation.
In university, I started writing a treeplanting memoir for one of my classes; I continued working on it for a number of years after my degree was completed. But then, due to the busyness of teaching, completing a masters, starting a family, and a myriad other excuses, I fell out of writing and it lay dormant for years. As I was listening to Howard speak to my students about the writing process, I found the dying ember of my writing beginning to burn again. What an unexpected joy! Since then, I've found myself inspired and looking for excuses to write.
Perhaps then, it is an axiom that authentic learning experiences have the potential to inspire both students and teachers alike.

"Insight on Landing Page deals" by S Yesudas – MD & Co-founder, Triggerbridge, the un-agency
- by
- S Yesudas
On June 12th, 2017, tvnews4u.com published an interview with our MD &Co-founder, Mr. S Yesudas focussing on the Landing page deals. Following is the discussion bytes posted:
Broadcasting Industry in India has witnessed strange issues towards the last leg of the digitization process. While everyone was under the impression that digitization will bring in larger transparency in various areas like measuring the volume of C&S homes across the country and measuring of viewership in cross platforms with greater accuracy etc…
However, the recent tussle between News Channel has opened up a Pandora box of issues that revealed possibilities of broadcasters spiking the viewership numbers through the means of running Dual / Multiple LCNs and Landing Page deals between the MSOs and Broadcasters.
While TRAI has issued a notification directing MSOs to refrain from running Dual LCNs, still the system needs another layer of cleansing with a clarify on running Dual through the means of Landing Page deals.
When it comes to Landing Page/parking/breaker deals between MSOs and Broadcasters – It clearly gives an edge to players with deep pockets to spend in such deals, whereas the small players won't be able to dive into such deals.
To analyze the issue in an industry expert's viewpoint. We reached to S Yesudas – MD & Co-founder, Triggerbridge – the un-agency. He took a neutral stand on the whole issue and discussed the pros and cons of such deals:
Que: Do you think Landing Page deals amounts to a kind of malpractice..?
Yesudas: I doubt that it amounts to any malpractice. It is their way of promoting and optimizing their assets. If the print owners could do various masthead related promotions and free copy circulation just before the readership research survey, my question is why not TV. At least in the case of TV, it will not be just the channel name. Viewership registration will only happen if the content is consumed. By that logic, all other distribution deals should also be a malpractice.
Que: What do you think advertisers should do in such scenario…?
Yesu: Advertiser pays for numbers. Since BARC is the bible currently, the channel owners monetize what gets recorded there. The landing channel is a good source of income for the MSOs and the DTH operators use the channel to also promote their assets among their customers. Hence for any long-term sustainable deal, the broadcasters will need deep pockets. It will be interesting to see a possible bid type of scenario emerge here, which will surely have viewership numbers swinging in different directions and advertisers, in that case, will start looking at such channels with caution.
Que: Should TRAI declare such deals between MSOs and Channels as Illegal..?
Yesu: I don't know what view TRAI will take of this. For one it is immediate revenue generation and for the other, it is revenue optimization. The regulatory body will also have to keep that in mind. Having said all these, my final concluding words are that no one really benefits from such tactics in the long run. It will only result in confusions where even credibility can get questioned.
While we understand the short-term nature of such deals and the opportunity involved in it for a broadcaster and the related additional revenue prospect of MSOs, our MD had categorically said that the advertisers, in that case, will start looking at such channels with caution. Similarly, he also pointed that no one gets benefited in long term from such deals and cautioned that the credibility of such players will be questioned.

text: Fuel cell and hydrogen technologies are re-gaining momentum in a number of sectors including industrial, tertiary and residential ones. Integrated biogas fuel cell plants in wastewater treatment plants and other bioenergy recovery plants are nowadays on the verge of becoming a clear opportunity for the market entry of high-temperature fuel cells in distributed generation (power production from a few kW to the MW scale). High-temperature fuel cell technologies like molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs) and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are especially fit to operate with carbon fuels due to their (direct or indirect) internal reforming capability. Especially, systems based on SOFC technology show the highest conversion efficiency of gaseous carbon fuels (e.g., natural gas, digester gas, and biomass-derived syngas) into electricity when compared to engines or gas turbines. Also, lower CO2 emissions and ultra-low emissions of atmospheric contaminants (SOX, CO, VOC, especially NOX) are generated per unit of electricity output. Nonetheless, stringent requirements apply regarding fuel purity. The presence of contaminants within the anode fuel stream, even at trace levels (sometimes ppb levels) can reduce the lifetime of key components like the fuel cell stack and reformer. In this work, we review the complex matrix (typology and amount) of different contaminants that is found in different biogas types (anaerobic digestion gas and landfill gas). We analyze the impact of contaminants on the fuel reformer and the SOFC stack to identify the threshold limits of the fuel cell system towards specific contaminants. Finally, technological solutions and related adsorbent materials to remove contaminants in a dedicated clean-up unit upstream of the fuel cell plant are also reviewed.

Watch as Francis tells the world to have mercy and accept the gypsies into your society! The Roma, as they are also known as, practice a variety of worship. Some still believe in worshiping the Indian goddess Kali, others are Roman Catholic, Moslem, Protestant, Anglican, Pentecostal, or Baptist. There is no official religion among these strange people. Gypsies are notorious for being beggars, welfare queens (on the dole), pick-pockets and thieves in major European cities. One thing Francis didn't explain to the Roma was the Catholic standards of modest dress. Oops, that would contradict his thesis of the poor are the Gospel.

Buried and that
Thursday September 30th 2010
Has anyone else got a cold at the moment? I have, and it's not helpful when I'm trying to watch a movie. My throat closes up, my nose aches and my eyes water so much that I look like I'm in tears over the slightest dramatic incident.
The point I'm trying to make is that, when I went to see Buried on Tuesday, I was predisposed to feel claustrophobic. But it still wasn't totally effective.
I'll sum it up in five points, if that's OK with you:
1. It is indeed set in a box. Hooray for that.
2. Ryan Reynolds is great, and I struggle to think of another actor who could have done the job better. I would like to see a gender-swap remake with Amy Adams though.
3. It actually manages to do the orange/teal grading thing quite legitimately, due to most of the lighting coming from either a mobile phone or a lighter.
4. It's too long, it loses all sense of direction at the 60 minute mark, and so much of the action is phone-based that after a while it starts to feel like an audiobook.
5. 6/10.

I CAN SEE THE ADRENALINE-SPIKED EXCITEMENT mixed with a little fear on the faces of the PWC riders as they get their first look at the angry Atlantic Ocean coming out of Haulover Inlet in North Miami. Steep five-footers in their face will do that, especially when they know they are looking at such waves for the next 50 miles on their way to Bimini. As we pick up a little speed, personal watercraft all around me are popping into the air like they are strapped to pogo sticks. After 45 minutes of slogging through the washing machine-like conditions, burning thighs signal it is time for a water-guzzling break. Most riders don't look back, which is wise, because the Miami skyline is still in view. Three hours later, a weary dozen riders sight Bimini and the relief lights up every face.
For some, this would be torture, but for the adventurous, it created a memory they wouldn't need photos to remember.
There's something about the shared experience of a group of like-minded people that tends to create memorable adventures, and traveling en masse with other PWC riders is a thrill one must experience to fully understand. Leading the way on that Bimini adventure was Tim McKercher, president of Look Marketing, the agency that handles PR, social media, video production and event marketing duties for Sea-Doo. He has arranged countless group trips, and I've had the pleasure of going on eight of his adventures, to places such as Washington, D.C.; Nashville; Lake Shasta, Calif.; Bimini; Montreal; and the Florida Panhandle, all of which have been well-organized and lots of fun. Although McKercher makes it look easy, many details have to be nailed in order to pull it off. We mined his brain to get his advice on how to organize a group PWC trip — and how to handle some of the problems that invariably arise.
Alan: When and where was the first time you went cruising with a group?
Tim: I've been involved with the event and PR side of Sea-Doo marketing since 1990, so I can only guess as to the number of group rides I have organized or have been a part of. The first organized group ride was the 1990 Press Intro in Stuart, Fla., based out of the Club Med at Sandpiper.
What was different about going with a group?
What was quickly apparent was personal watercraft were anything but personal, and for many, it's more enjoyable when you do it with other riders. It's a great bonding experience.
What do you look for in a location?
Ultimately it comes down to the on-water experience, but there are a lot of practical considerations that have to be taken into account, such as the availability of good launch locations, average and potential conditions on the body of water you are visiting, on-water dining opportunities, places to stay that have adequate dockage, and fuel availability. One big factor is parking, since everyone will have a trailer. It's also a good idea to know how much your fellow riders can afford; hotels and dining can add up quickly if you are going first class. You can still have a great experience without breaking the bank, and often, rustic places have more charm.
How important is doing the legwork and making advance arrangements?
The importance of advance preparations grows proportionally with the size group you are talking about and the complexity of the event. When we go to restaurants, it's really fun to sit as a group, which helps you bond and meet everyone, so advance planning with the restaurant is definitely in order to reserve dock space and arrange seating. Having firsthand knowledge of your destination is also important; guidebooks help — Google Earth even more so — but local knowledge is king when doing a group trip. It's always fun to have a few places to stop along the way to your destination, to break up the riding and to relax. Some people get too focused on getting from point A to B and forget the real point is to have fun. In addition to restaurants or local areas of interest, beaches, islands and sandbars make good stopovers. It's really fun to learn about the history of the places where you go, so doing a little homework can make the trip even more special. When going to places like the Bahamas, you have to know how to clear customs and learn what fees and regulations exist. Some parks, such as the Everglades, don't allow PWCs, so you have to do your homework.
Should you have a support boat go along with you?
We won't do an open-water ride without a support boat, for several reasons. First, it carries the luggage, but more importantly it's good insurance if someone is injured. It's a good idea to have riders on the boat who can ride a PWC in case someone gets tired or sick, which can happen on more challenging rides. In addition, a boat's electronics are far superior for navigation and communication. The other plus is that if you are doing a ride of 60-plus miles, a support boat can carry extra fuel, food and refreshments.
In larger groups, should you have a mechanic along?
Having a mechanic along is a plus in any situation. A MacGyver-type participant is golden in places such as the Bahamas or Alaska or the lower Mississippi River, where resources are nonexistent.
What spare parts or tools should you have along?
The must-haves include VHF, zip ties, Gorilla tape, an underwater patch kit, spark plugs, basic safety gear and a model-specific tool kit. If you can bring more, do it, which is another reason to have a support boat.
What activities are important to do when readying for a trip?
A lot depends on how challenging of a ride you are planning. A trip like the Bimini Road Rally, which takes us from Miami to the Bahamas across the very unpredictable Gulf Stream, takes a lot of preparation. Same goes for others we've done, such as crossing the Bering Strait or heading down the Mississippi River. On these, both the machinery and people need to be in really good shape. The run to Bimini can be relatively easy if you live there and get to pick and choose your days to cross, but when you plan the event six months out and people schedule their vacations around those dates and travel up to 1,500 miles, you have to be prepared for less-than-perfect conditions. We almost try to scare people out of doing it and let them know what the worst-case scenario can be. You can do everything possible to have things in place to avoid potential issues, but ultimately the rider has to ride.
The 50 miles to Bimini in five- to six-foot headwind seas can be the longest 50 miles of your life. It's key to prepare by riding 10, 20, 40 miles at a time in a chop to learn to read cross-chop. Also, prepare physically by doing squats or running, to get your legs ready, and work on your grip to hold on for that long. The other element is the mental part, to get your mind ready to be in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight. If an unexpected storm confronts us, again, we don't have a choice but to deal with it, so freaking out doesn't help anything and actually puts the entire group in jeopardy. The other half of this is the watercraft. For long rides like Bimini, we do not allow modified units of any kind, to ensure a safe and reliable trip. We also mandate all units be serviced by a authorized dealer prior to the ride and that owners leave their watercraft in the water for a few days straight to make sure there are no leaks, because the units will stay in the water for three or more days straight and resources are scarce in some of these destinations.
What are some of the challenges you've faced?
We have faced every situation you can imagine after more than 25 years of rides. One time we did a group trip from Long Beach to Catalina when a brand new fuel-injected model's fuel line popped off the fuel pump. A tech literally was sitting in the front storage compartment working on crimping fuel lines back on the tank with a screwdriver. Once, we had a rider see lightning on the way to Bimini — 25 miles either way — and simply freeze up and start crying like a baby (he drove a Hummer too…). On the way to Russia, we took a break and rode the units up on an iceberg; when the journalist pushed the unit back in the water, the nozzle got caught on the ice and bent the steering cable. And there were definitely no spare steering cables in the waters off Nome, Alaska. We had to disconnect the steering cable, and I had to ride the unit for 12 miles to the Diomede Islands, leaning to steer. There, we were able to rope it to our support boat, which again points out the need to have one.
What's the largest group you should have?
Imagine as large of a group as you think you can control, then reduce that number by 20 percent. If you are inexperienced, start off with a group of 10 or less; then, as you gain experience you can add more riders, more stops and more days. It's also helpful to have one person who is the clear group leader, so you don't have to vote on every decision.
How do you handle someone who is driving recklessly or breaks the rules/laws?
Usually, you can resolve the issue by taking the person aside, talking to him respectfully, explaining your concerns and letting him know he is endangering others and could potentially cause the trip to end prematurely. If this doesn't work, ask him to leave. In a worst-case scenario, have him removed. For the most part, group riders are usually older and more chill anyway. Racer groups are younger and have more testosterone, which can be an issue. For safety, we insist that riders refrain from drinking alcohol while we are riding. At night there's plenty of time for socializing, and that's the proper time to imbibe.
When going to places such as the Bahamas, should you have a plan B?
With a trip such as going to the Bahamas, Catalina or somewhere separated by water, we always warn participants to allow a cushion of a day or two on the back end, in case we have to delay a crossing. One year we had to cancel the Bimini Road Rally altogether due to a tropical storm hovering over the area for a week. If the seas are just too rough, you can always head to the Keys while staying in protected waters.

It's fun to read about the buzz Android is creating with all of the news about new handsets and carriers. It's also fun to brag that you were an early adopter of the platform that the mobile industry is finally taking note of. But, the truth is. nothing matters if the money doesn't follow. Some may take take exception with this, but, it all comes down to the money. It rarely matters what the "it" is, if Wall Street isn't excited the road becomes a lot more bumpy.
Motorola has gone "all-in" with Android and that gamble seems to have earned it some early gains in both the "buzz" and financial categories. Motorola rose over 8% Monday on investor anticipation that its second Android phone would be a hit!
That phone of course is the upcoming Droid from Verizon. The excitement that impressed Wall Street may have as much to do with Verizon's aggressive marketing campaign as the early positive reviews for the phone. Clearly, the gloves are off and it's Android vs iPhone and Wall Street is looking on with an early "thumbs up" for Motorola and Android.

I am a canadian woman who returned from Cuba in february. I met an amazing man there and we have continued to communicate with each other since I got home. I am planning to go back next year to see him again. I know he wants to get married but I am not rushing into anything right away. I am currently still married here in Canada although we are separated and getting a divorce soon. I am 16 years older than the man I met in Cuba. If I do decide to go through with a marriage with him, what kind of cost roughly is involved and what can I expect from immigration? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Anaya is an Amazon of Bana-Mighdall and lover to Iphthime, an Amazon of Themyscira.[1]
With Falizia and Bitari, Anaya comes to protest the outsider Donna Troy being coronated when the Banas are still being snubbed in all ways by the Themies, though Anaya's protests are not strong. She is more interested in learning photography from Donna, and is encouraged by Iphthime to ask. Donna says she'll help her set up a darkroom.
Anaya stands hand-in-hand with Iphthime to greet Wonder Woman and Donna Troy at the memorial at Doom's Doorway. Donna talks with her about setting up a show in New York for her photographs. She spots a Bana flower offering and picks it up, only to be caught as the vase explodes. Later, we see her in hospital, a bandage running from her shoulder beneath her sheets, and the right side of her face and right eye bandaged, as Iphthime confesses that she had something to do with it, but that she did not realize it would go so far.[1]
After the Civil War on her way to barracks Iphthime stops by to apologize again to the healing Anaya and to reiterate that she loves her. Anaya does not respond.[2] Anaya releases Iphthime from arrest so all Amazons may attack the aliens of Our Worlds at War who threaten Earth.[3]
Powers and Abilities
- Amazonian Physiology: The Amazons are a race of warrior women that have received gifts and blessings from five Olympian goddesses: Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hestia and Aphrodite. Anaya possesses the same potential powers as an average Amazon. These include:
- Enhanced Intellect: A gift from Athena, the Amazons have the wisdom to be guided by peace and justice.
- Superhuman Strength: The Bana-Mighdall, lacking immortality, were forced to procreate with men, which means their powers are not on the same level as a Themysciran Amazon.
- Superhuman Durability
- Superhuman Stamina
- Superhuman Agility
- Amazonian training: The Amazons honed their skills in many fields, aided by the gifts from Athena and Artemis.
- Photography: Anaya learned photography from Donna Troy.

I have been looking for a pair of boots just like these for what feels like forever now, so imagine my surprise and delight when I spotted this pair! Paul and I decided to spend this past Sunday in Glasgow, we haven't been to the city in quite some time and there have been changes and some new shops have opened, one of which is Forever 21! I have never been to a Forever 21 and it is on my list of stores to visit when we finally get to the US but still, I was so excited to get to see one.
I spotted the boots almost as soon as we had walked in the door and I had to immediately try them on. Every year I try to find a pair of boots like this, to me, they just scream Autumn but there is always something just not quite right and I leave what ever store it may be, boot-less. These however were perfect in every way and seeing as Summer is coming to an end it is making even more excited for the colder weather. They are brown faux leather which normally puts me off a little because I don't always love how it feels but these actually feel like really good quality.
The top of the boots can be folded down to reveal a kind of dog-tooth check pattern inside, they have two studs on the side of the boots so how low you want them to sit it up to you. I fell in love with the design, this is such an Autumn kind of pattern.
I love that they have laces on the front for the appearance but zips up the back so it is much easier to get them on and off. I can't wait to style these when the weather gets colder, I have years worth of ideas for how to wear them. Bring on Autumn! And...at only £29.80 I think I might have to go back and get them in black? What do you think?

Server Specs: HP to launch energy efficient server fans
HP to launch energy efficient server fans; Sun continues to thumb nose at liquid cooling; AMD posts ticker display in Times Square to challenge Intel.
Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) this summer plans to introduce new fans for blade servers that use a ducted design borrowed from remote-controlled model airplanes. Wade Vinson, a fan technologist at HP and the chief designer of the technology, said the fans have a more aggressive blade area, as well as a higher ratio of depth, which can produce more torque and higher cubic feet per minute. Vinson said he researched the idea and met with a local producer of high-performance, radio-controlled model aircraft, who utilizes ducted fans, which normally have more and shorter blades than propellers, and therefore, can run at higher speeds.
"The amount of airflow you can produce is incredible," Vinson said, adding that adoption will cut airflow needs in half, reduce noise, and reduce the power output. "I think I just found a way to keep liquid out of our servers for another 10 years." HP plans to launch the Active Cool Fans this summer in the company's BladeSystem blade servers, the line that trails IBM by single digits for the market share lead. Upon successful adoption, Vinson said, the technology will be applied to other server lines.
Sun continues to thumb nose at liquid cooling
In stark contrast to commentary and product rollouts from IBM, HP and American Power Conversion Corp., among others, Sun Microsystems Inc. this week rebuffed the stance that liquid -cooling is necessary now -- or even an inevitability in the future. Jeff O'Neal director of product marketing for Sun Scalable Systems Group, said liquid-as-an-answer is inefficient, and described it as Band-Aiding a problem that should be addressed with design at the chip level. "With Niagara, we created a chip with eight-cores … by keeping those threads busy, we could actually run at a relaxed clock speed, which helps keep the heat down," O'Neil said. "Retrofitting and greenfielding [a data center for liquid cooling] add both cost and complexity. The real answer is don't put the heat into the data center and you don't have as much to take out." Analysts say this stance is convenient considering Sun is the only major vendor with no liquid options on the market, but also point to customers wary to adopt a new technology, of which no standards have yet been cemented.
AMD posts ticker display in Times Square to challenge Intel
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) posted a ticker display in Times Square this week comparing the cost of running x86 servers on its Opteron chips compared to Intel Corp.'s Xeon chips. The display is part of an ongoing effort by AMD to gain market share on its larger rival by adding energy efficiency to the argument of chip performance. AMD was also one of the founding members of The Green Grid, a nonprofit organization examining power consumption in the data center, and has invited Intel to join the group.
AFCO partners with Sanmina SCI Systems
AFCO Systems has partnered with Sanmina-SCI Corp. to distribute Sanmina's Ecobay 125 brand water-cooled cabinet enclosures. Farmingdale, N.Y.-based AFCO, a designer and manufacturer of cabinet enclosures, was selected because of its strong market presence in the U.S. compared to Sanmina, an electronics manufacturer that has thrived in Europe. Data center cooling expert Robert E. McFarlane, president of the Interport Division of New York-based Shen, Milsom and Wilke Inc. said "Sanmina is getting distribution, name recognition and market penetration, and AFCO is getting a technology that they don't have to go out and invent." Ecobay -- priced at $14,000 per enclosure and marketed as a Sanmina product -- is designed to improve cooling efficiency by moving cooling closer to the load.
ADC rolls out cabling system to help TIA-942 compliance
Minnesota-based networking equipment company ADC announced this week a set of products meant to help businesses comply with TIA-942, the data center design standards set by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). The highlight of the products is ADC's cabling management system, which it says employs a "cross-connect" design that allows data center managers to make changes to the network as requirements and needs change. TIA released its new standard, TIA-942, last year, which provides requirements and guidelines for setting up a data center, including issues with cabling.

Being an avid botanical artist it was wonderful to experience the museum and all that it has to offer, especially the glass flowers. I loved hearing of the Blaschkas history and their passion for creating their art with glass, (isn't that what art is all about; sharing your passion with those that are interested). I just finished reading "The Invention of Nature", about Alexander von Humboldt and of course this book has a chapter on Haeckel as well as the others. What a coincidence I've had after reading the above book and discovering that Blaschkas created sea creatures just like Haeckel. So much to discover and connect with. Just seeing the glass flowers is wonderful in itself, but then to connect all of the dots with all of the creative, inspiring, adventurous people of that time is facinating. -Kate MacGillivary
It is much easier to see the intricate detail and deft coloring of the glass flower specimens in the newly refurbished exhibit. Each "specimen" is thoughtfully displayed reflecting plant habits, realistic coloring, and supporting botanical information. Rotational exhibit cases currently display insects pollinating plants. -Susan Fulton
I was fascinated by the story of the glass Mountain Laurels created by Leopold and Rudolf Balaschka. One was the typical variety Kalmia latifolia, with cup shaped leaves, the other more unusual Kalmia polifolia (pictured here) had multiple narrow petals. The living examples of these plants can still be seen at the Arnold Arboretum -Beth Sanders
It was worth the journey to see the glass flowers again. The skill in making full scale or enlarged small details is astounding; root masses, stamens, finely cut leaves on whole plants is phenomenal. The new pollination section is a timely inclusion. Seeing an original and a printed, possibly etched, reproduction emphasizes the differences and nuances that change with printing methods. Although we would have liked to see more of the paint collection the conservator was able to give some insights into their work. The conservation rooms have amazing equipment peeked at through the glass walls. On the 5th floor of the Art museum is a novel interactive collections inventory. -Frances Topping
I found the work of Blanche Ames particularly interesting especially since NESBA has been involved with botanical demonstrations at Borderland, the home created in the early 1900s by artist and suffragist Blanche Ames and her botanist husband Oakes. -Nancy Horrall
I guess it sounds simple enough in one respect but it's something I have been thinking about a lot. An artist should use whatever she needs to use to realize her vision. It's really been that way all along, whether you use oil, egg tempera, graphite, ink, camera obscura, photos, either separately or together. Whatever you need to get the job done is what you should use.
I like that.- Kathy Folino

God has been speaking to me more about rest. Everyone needs it. Leaders especially need it!
I require solitude to function at my optimal. We all have needs in this regard but many of us feel really guilty about being assertive about it. Why is that so?
I don't know whether I'm getting better at being assertive or whether I am just too needy when it comes to rest in this season of my life to care about offending anyone.
In just a moment I'm going to share with you three new ways I've found to make it easier to rest. No, they don't involve a cruise. I know I just came back from one yesterday and my faithful readers who know that may be thinking, "Great. She's going to tell us to go on a cruise. Impractical! Irrelevant! I can't afford it nor do I have the vacation time to take..." Relax. That's not the direction I'm headed. But please do indulge me for a moment before I tell you the three hints, while I share with you a few peaceful memories from this past week since these were what triggered this post.
While we were in the Bahamas this past week we were strolling the streets and came upon Christ Church of Nassau. Thankfully it was open and we went in and quietly walked around, sat on a pew, and silently reflected.
I enjoy silence whenever I can get it and being around tranquil waters like these is just the perfect scenario but when it's not possible I rely on playlists. My second tip to you today is to sign up for a free Spotify account. Then make playlists that help you relax. My friend Gayle from church recently recommended some to me that I am really enjoying: Liquid Mind, Keiko Matsui, Michael Dulin, Joseph Firecrow, Pat Matheny Group and Andreas Vollenweider are just a few I'm listening to that help me relax. I even play them at the office during stressful phone calls. My "Bring Deanna's Blood Pressure Down" playlist on Spotify has become another new best friend.
My third tip to you today is to take a step forward and be assertive about what you need regarding rest. For so many years I didn't. I regret few things in life, but I do regret that. Learn from my mistake.
And speaking of rest ~ abundant thanks to all of the guest bloggers who shared here all week long and gave me a rest while also blessing those reading beyond measure. You rock.

I run a few websites and I was thinking of paying for a dedicated Windows web server from GoDaddy instead of paying for each site's hosting individually. I know enough about IIS to configure the Host Header and stuff like that, but I'm a little fuzzy about the email portion of the hosting. I have a few questions:
- Do I need to install an SMTP server on the web server to allow for emails to be sent/received to a website email address? Or is there another approach that I'm unaware of?
- Are there tools that monitor the amount of bandwidth used by the server? GoDaddy charges for bandwidth and I want to make sure I don't go over.
- Am I opening a can of worms that I don't really want to open by going the dedicated server route? Things like server updates, security, etc?

There is no need for you to file for a car insurance claim every time you meet an accident, especially the minor ones because doing so will eventually increase your premium in time. Before filing for a claim, weigh your options first. Usually, car insurance companies do not really mind one insurance claim, but if you go for repeated claims, it's either, your premium will soar up high or worst, your policy might be cancelled. To avoid situations like this, do not forget that when you present yourself as someone who gets to be involved in more than on collision accident, you are making car insurance companies consider you as a high risk policy holder.
In case you get to be involved in an accident, notify you insurer. They will determine who is at fault in the said accident. The result of the said investigation is very crucial when it comes to your car insurance claims. The insurer will also be the one to contact the Claims Adjuster to determine the damages your car has incurred that are under your car insurance coverage. They will also determine the cost of the damages your car insurance will cover.
Your car i8nsurance will have 2 factors; the comprehensive or collision deductibles. The comprehensive deductible covers damages associated with vandalism, theft, bumping into your neighbor's fence or a stray animal on the road and natural disasters (storm, hails, earthquakes, etc). Collision deductibles, on the other hand, will include the damages your car or another car had during the collision or accident while driving. Remember that comprehensive damage does not affect your car insurance premiums like collision damage does.
In case of situations wherein the Claims Auditor assessed the accident wherein you are found out to be the one at fault, prepared for a 20% increase I your premium. Depending on the severity of the accident, your car insurance may even be cancelled if you are found to be at fault in multiple car collision accident with multiple injuries. On the other hand, minor injuries like fence bending will just increase your premium by a mere 3 %.
If your car has a value of less than $2.000, you might want to reconsider filing for car insurance claims to lessen the chances of your premium's rate to increase. Remember that not all accidents, especially the minor ones, need the attention of your car insurance company. Assess the situation if there is really a need for a car insurance claim while taking into consideration the consequences that comes with it.

In Maine, a DUI (driving under the influence, we call it operating under the influence or OUI) is a criminal offense. There are a few states (like New Jersey) where a DUI is a civil offense for which you're not going to be in prison for. But here in Maine it's a criminal offense which means you can go to jail, you can lose your license, and you have a criminal record which lasts forever.
We have no expungement process for OUIs or any other crime; we have no way of sealing those records from the public. So if you are, in fact, convicted of the OUI criminal offense here in Maine, you're going to have a criminal record forever. Operating under the influence (and it's called DUI, or DWI or even OWI in some other states -- but here is OUI) means that you are operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants. And that includes legal prescription medications for which you are taking in accordance with the directions as well as alcohol or any chemical substance -- we have a very broadly defined view on chemicals here in the state of Maine. In impairment, if you are operating under the influence they define impairment as "impairment to any degree, no matter how slight, as it affects your physical and mental faculties."
We have a very tough OUI law here, and that means that you can be arrested and charged with operating under the influence if you're riding your lawnmower on your personal property, if you're operating your motorcycle down your private driveway and you're under the influence, if you're in a parking lot driving in your car -- it does not have to be on a public roadway. It doesn't even have to be in what we think of in a traditional sense of a motor vehicle.

ST. THOMAS, V.I. A 21-year-old St. Thomas man has begun serving a
seven-year prison today for last years armed robbery of a police officer.
On Friday, V.I.
Superior Court Judge Kathleen Mackay sentenced Vernon Rawlins of Kronprindsens
Gade for first-degree robbery in connection with an April 27, 2016 incident that
occurred in the area of Kronprindsens Gade. Rawlins was initially arrested on
one count each of first-degree robbery, unauthorized use of a firearm during
the commission of a robbery, first-degree assault, unauthorized use of a
firearm during the commission of a first-degree assault, grand larceny,
unauthorized use of a firearm during the commission of a grand larceny,
unauthorized possession of a firearm with altered identification marks and
reckless endangerment.
He entered into
a plea deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery. As
part of the plea agreement, all other counts against him were dismissed and Attorney
General Claude Earl Walker recommended a nine-year prison sentence.
At his
sentencing, Rawlins publicly apologized for his actions.
Im really
sorry for what Ive done and for putting my father and mother through this, he
Judge Mackay then
sentenced Rawlins to seven years behind bars with two years suspended and two
years of supervised release, and ordered him to pay fees and court costs, while
admonishing him.
I hope youve
learned your lesson, Judge Mackay said. I hope when youre released from jail
that you show the promise to those people who know you and who have vouched on
your behalf.
affidavit filed by Det. Nigel James provides the following details of the
victim, Officer Nikita Turnbull, told investigators that sometime after 3 a.m.,
he left Carnival Village and was heading to Sub Base. He was being followed by
two other officers, who drove behind him in separate vehicles. While driving
along Kronprindsens Gade, Officer Turnbull stopped at the traffic light in the
area of the Department of Labor. A masked man, later identified as Rawlins, who
was riding a bicycle, pointed a gun at Officer Turnbulls head and demanded
that he take off his gold neck chain. Then, Rawlins reached into Officer Turnbulls
vehicle and tried to remove the chain. Fearing for his life, Officer Turnbull
took off his chain and gave it to Rawlins, Det. James wrote.
As Rawlins tried
to leave the area, Officer Turnbull came out of his vehicle, identified himself
as a police officer and ordered Rawlins to stop. Rawlins then turned and
pointed the gun at Officer Turnbull. Officer Turnbull returned to his vehicle,
drew his firearm and fired several times at Rawlins. Officer Turnbull sought
cover at the rear of his vehicle while Rawlins was still pointing his gun at
him, so Officer Turnbull fired more shots. After the shooting had died down,
police officers who responded to reports of the incident found Rawlins at the
rear of the Department of Labor. Police officers retrieved Officer Turnbulls
jewelry, a ski mask and a gun near Rawlins. Rawlins had suffered gunshot
injuries to his foot and he was taken to Schneider Hospital, according to Det.
The case was
prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Nadja Harrigan.

Meet Lexi!
No, he is not a desert tortoise, that is still on the back burner.
I visited the Humane Society a couple of months ago and came home with Vesper, promptly renamed Lexi. The Society had named him Vesper for some unfathomable reason, but it was clear, at least to me, that he did not care for that name – he never responded when I called him Vesper. I thought a change to something that flowed from the tongue a bit better was in order. So Lexi it is, and he does come when I call him.
According to the Humane Society, Lexi is a Papillon mix – I should also add that there seems to be an awful lot of Chihuahua in that mix. He has turned out to be a very sweet, friendly little dog that thankfully came home already housebroken. There have been no accidents at all. 🙂 Lexi is already friends with the Yorkie next door, the dogs (5 very large ones and a Silky terrier) that we occasionally go with on early morning walks in the park, and every other dog and human he has met. What a pleasure!
For the first few weeks, wherever I went in the house, there was a little cold nose bumping into the back of my calf – he did not and still does not really like to be left alone. Things have improved, and he now ventures alone to all parts of the house.
One interesting thing he did is that when he thought I was not looking, he would pick up a toy and literally tiptoe out of the room. But as soon as he got to the hallway, he would run with the toy and I could hear him thrashing it and playing with it out of sight. Did he once live with other dogs/kids/adults that would steal his toys? Guess I will never find out. But I am happy to say that he now feels comfortable enough to play with this toys in places where he knows I can see him.
Lexi weighed 7 pounds when I adopted him. Living on the streets (he was found roaming the streets) even for what I guess was not a very long time does take a toll, specially on a small animal. When we visited the vet about 2 weeks after adopting him, he had already gained .8 pounds, but the vet thinks that weighing between 9 to 10 pounds would be appropriate for him. He is now up to 8.4 pounds and seems to have stabilized at that weight. An increase of 1.4 pounds does not sound like much, but it is a 20% increase in weight from when I first got him. Other than that, the vet gave him a clean bill of health and it was a relief to hear him say "see you next year".

Scalable Data Deduplication Using Similarity Matching And In Memory Indexes
This article describes an approach to mitigate this problem and provide a scalable high-throughput deduplication approach. The approach uses data segmentation and chunking coupled with MinHash based Similarity Matching to provide a high-performance mechanism to locate zones (or segments) of similar data and perform further chunk hash based identity deduplication within those zones.

What we are trying to do?
We are attempting to mobilize the creativity and innovative capacities of the Linux and broader open source community to codify the universe of preexisting inventions in defensive publications that upon publication in the IP.COM database will immediately serve as effective prior art that prevents anyone from having a patent issued that claims inventions that have already been document in a defensive publication. In addition to creating a vehicle to utilize this highly effective form of IP rights management for known inventions, it is hoped that the community will use defensive publications as a means of codifying future inventions should the inventors prefer not to make their invention the subject of a patent disclosure and application.

Always Bring a Crowd! The Story of Frank Lumpkin, Steelworker
Always Bring a Crowd! The Story of Frank Lumpkin, Steelworker
When Wisconsin Steel closed without paying the workers in Chicago, Frank Lumpkin organized the Save Our Jobs Committee. They fought 17 years and won settlements of $19 million. Son of Georgia cotton sharecroppers, Lumpkin became a professional boxer, orange picker, construction worker, merchant seaman, steel-worker and leader of the Communist Party USA.
"Bring a Crowd! Yes. It is masses of people in action who make the turning points in history. And Always Bring A Crowd is a family saga... All of the Lumpkins appear throughout the book and author Bea Lumpkin, Frank's wife, paints their portraits as deftly as any novelist.

At least for now, all we have are the wildly successful first three books: "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Girl Who Played with Fire," and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest." But Swedish journalist-turned-novelist Stieg Larsson had actually intended that his "Millennium" series would include at least five books, a plan cut short by his death in 2004.
Now, however, friends of Larsson's have come forward with details about what they say is a partially complete fourth book by Larsson. Larsson pal Kurdo Baksi is reported to have told Swedish newspaper Expressen that the fourth novel is set on the Banks Island in Canada – an intriguingly remote spot said to be home to more musk-ox than people – and features heroine Lisbeth Salander's twin sister Camilla. (So far Camilla has only been seen briefly in "The Girl Who Played with Fire.")
Last summer John-Henri Holmberg, another friend of Larsson's, also told the press about the setting of the fourth book in northern Canada – something he said Larsson discussed with him by e-mail.
"Millennium" mystery: Will there be a fourth Stieg Larsson novel – or not?
For now, however, such details are nothing better than teasers to Larsson's many fans. Larsson's long-time partner Eva Gabrielsson is locked in a bitter battle with Larsson's father and brother over the rights to his literary estate. Gabrielsson says she has the manuscript of the fourth book and can finish it – but it cannot be published without the consent of the author's family, which does not seem to be forthcoming.
For the moment, the only sure bet that Larsson fans have to look forward to is the December, 2011, release of the American film version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" starring Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig.

From conflict to coexistence
Distributed for Bristol University Press
48 pages
There has been considerable recent policy debate on street sex work in local neighbourhoods and responses to community concerns. This report examines how residential areas characterised as areas of female street sex work are shared by different sections of the community and considers community and policy responses to street sex work.The report draws on research with sex workers, residents and agency staff in five case study areas in England and Scotland. It considers community responses to street sex work in local neighbourhoods and the varying degrees of tolerance and engagement. Exploring whether residential streets can serve as shared spaces where residents and sex workers may coexist, the authors reflect on the scope for improving relations between residents and street sex workers, through initiatives such as consultation, mediation and awareness-raising.Living and working in areas of street sex work considers both the effectiveness of responses such as enforcement and the use of anti-social behaviour legislation; and the need for integrated initiatives to address community conflicts and manage the street scene.

Is KC for real??
Here's my opinion people have said for years that Kansas City is a going to be good once they get all the pieces together. Well, they are pretty darn close if not ready. The lineup is pretty solid, a solid bullpen, a bunch of good starters too. BUT, I feel they are lacking a good staff, like Terry Francona, Jim Leyland, Lou Pinella, Dusty Baker… They also need a VETERAN they have a young team which makes me think they'll start off good but finsh similar to what the Indians did last year or like the Pirates have. So I feel they can be a third place team
