Everybody thought even once in a lifetime, how great it could be if one brilliant day you will wake a superhero. They are incredibly strong, unusually smart, they have a great intelligence, and they are always in the thick of things. Everybody will agree that being a superhero is a cool thing. From the other side, it is a great responsibility, they often need to fight the bad guys and sometimes their enemies, and their enemies win. So, maybe if you are not a superhero, it is even good, at least you do not have to fight evil in a funny costume. But it does not mean that you do not have a right to feel what is to be the superhero once in your life. You can become a superhero in your own party!
Reasons to make such a party could be very different, but if you want it, you can do it without reason at all. You can decorate your house in the colors of that superhero, which you have decided to be this day, find a cool costume, select the required music, different competitions, and other cool things. Of course, what's a party without a cake? It is a center of every celebration, and if you decided that today you will be a superhero, your party cake should be a cake, that's worth a superhero.
Superhero Cake Topper for Child Party
If you have a son or a daughter, you definitely know a lot about superheroes, even if earlier you thought that it does not worth your time at all. Children like stories about cool guys and your little child will tell you about his or her passion, even if you do not want to hear. If you know what a superhero is the most favorable for your child, you can make a great birthday party! Of course, you remember that cake needs to be tasty, but it is not the only criterion. If it is a party for children, and you decided to choose the theme superheroes, cake topper for it must be suitable. Our online shop could provide you with the best superhero cake topper that you could even imagine!
Superhero Cake Topper for a Party
We all have had a favorite character in a childhood. When you become an adult, you may forget about it, forget, that when you were a little boy or girl, you promised that you will have the greatest comics' collection that others could even imagine, that you will have the same costume as your favorite superhero has, and many other things. Over the years, you decided that it is not important. How dull our lives would be if we would not realize the biggest dreams of our childhood? The cake topper, without a doubt, needs to be a cool copy of your favorite superhero – it will be a great surprise for your inner child, and you will remember it for a long time. With our company, your childhood dream will come true!
Wedding Superhero Cake Topper
Think that your wedding needs to be the most serious event in your life, but at the same time you do not want to do it in a classic style? You have met your second half in a comics store, or in the fans of Superman forum, or when you first meet you have worn the same T-shirt with Spiderman, or you first meet her in the cinema, where you both came to watch The Ironman? If you found in the description yourself, it could be a great reason to make your cake, or even the whole the ceremony an adaptation of the beloved comic strip. We could make for you a great cake topper, where the groom will be a Spiderman and a bride – Jane, or Batman and Batgirl, or Superman and Wonder woman – it all depends on your imagination. You will tell us, what do you want to see as your cake topper and we will do exactly what you want to have.

Why hello! Long time no see ^__^" I apologize, but mostly this delay in posts has all been caused by the fact that my dear friends at Shinchon Hostel have serious issues with their wifi. Ugh -__-" Also the whole taking pictures, editing and generally typing up a post is a major hassle when you're moving around. I didn't even have pictures to show you until yesterday, where we went to PROLEAGUE 2012 to cheer for T1 (StarCraft pro-team owned by SK Telecom). We had a blast but FUCK IT'S BEEN SO HOT IN KOREA FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS WTF. We have a blasting typhoon coming tomorrow/during tonight, so I'm staying inside for now O_O" it's 3AM anyway. LOL. I stocked up on cheese bagels and pepsi nex already, so I'm ready for it ok! Anyway, let's talk about StarCraft shall we? Ò__Ó)/ I know ma girl KATIE will go slightly bananas over this, so let's just get to it!
We went to uhh.. I don't know to be honest.. to watch the PROLEAGUE games between T1 (the team we cheered for) and ACE (the airforce's SC team (yes, they actually have one - I'll get into why later on.))
The games were shown on this big screen showed above. There were three commentators (ugh the girl was so annoying tho.. -__-") Once in a while the camera guy behind the audience would focus on the audience and it would be shown on the main screen during the matches. I (of all people) got a solo shot. My hair was a hot mess but the Korean girls that had helped us get there thought it was cool and made me look like a rockstar.. O_o okay then. LOL. So nice of them! They were generally super sweet, helped us get tickets, had lunch with us and told us a bit about what was going on. When we first arrived some people were flocking around a banner, writing on it. Turns out that a super good (and quite handsome!) player for the team "KT Rolster" had just died from leukemia 3 days prior to the matches. Before the 3rd match that day they showed a "in loving memory" video of the guy with lots of super nice clips with him playing, hanging with his team mates looking really happy. A lot of the fangirls there cried and were really upset : / So sad.. You can read a bit about his death HERE. So depressing that someone so young, happy and passionate had to be taken away from his team mates, family and close friends (and fans!) T_T
This is 천찬씨 being the fanboy that he is with his fav. T1 member!
A few of the T1 members were actually tearing up during the video as well. I later saw some ACE members hanging out with the T1 members, so spite the hard competition, these guys don't seem to hold grudges at all. They all seem like a big family ~ ah! Must be so nice ^__^)/
The winners! T1! They won 3 out of 5 matches. But omfg the last game was so intense. They started out playing StarCraft 1 and won two matches in a row. Then they switched to StarCraft 2 and lost two matches.. Luckily T1's guy won quite efficiently and we all went "FUCKYESSSS!" and cheered like mad! I have no idea how to play, but this shit is addicting as hell ok. You can watch live streamings of StarCraft for HOURS. It's terrible T_T
This is ACE. They lost. They've had some TERRIBLE seasons lately just losing, losing.. oh and losing some more. Actually the air force got their own StarCraft team because this one gamer, who was called in for military duty, was so good, that they let him play while being enrolled.
And that guy would be this guy. 천찬씨 in epic fanboy mode again. LOL. He was so excited to meet Boxer, which is his "gamer" name so to say. He is now (ironically) a coach for T1 and doesn't have much to do with the players of ACE anymore. However, he's the reason the team started up ^__^)/ quite cool! He's also married to a former (suuuuper pretty!!!) actress who was at the venue as well! Well played, bro.
Speaking of girls... I was quite surprised to see exactly how many fangirls these guys have. They play a computergame - and they do it fucking good. But I never expected to see this many girls around ONE guy. After they won, there was a fanmeeting arranged and this guy was dragged off by 4 girls and put in the center of a huge bunch of girls (who apparently were all members of his personal fanclub). Man, it almost made me wanna play too.. LOL. StarCraft is a strategy based game tho.. -__-" Not my strongest personality trait. LOL.
Inside the small "venue". Cameras, pro lighting, audience, fansigns and even fanchants! Wth. So cool! After T1 won their manager (I was told) was interviewed to let everyone know how he felt about the team winning, if he expected it etc. He was generally very happy and thankful : D Good Korean values!
They also showed the current chart of who's in charge in the PROLEAGUE matches. The 4th team is T1 (who won on this day) and the last name.. well, that would be ACE who are now out of the tournaments. 천찬씨 told me that the top 2 names were as expected as they'd been playing like beasts for a while now! ^__^)/
The view from outside where we were waiting for the teams to come out (mostly waiting for Boxer, lol) in the frying heat.
Thanks to 천찬씨's friend (and her friends as well) for helping us find our way there, get tickets, eat lunch with us and help us track down both T1 and Boxer! ^__^)/ So nice of you guys! (천찬씨's looking derp cause I told him to do aegyo too and he was like "dude u stho geyyy" lol.)
Food noms after the games! We were starving and super tired. Such a long, hot-as-balls day. I FINALLY got my wish and we went for 샤브샤브 (shabeu shabeu) which is a kind of broth that you put all sorts of shit in, you let it cook, eat it, get noodles or rice that you mix into the remaining broth, you eat that and then you feel sickeningly full for the next 3 days. LOL. It wasn't that great, sadly. :C the broth was bland, the meat was frozen and dry and yeah.. not as expected. /sobs.
But it was much fun! ^__^)/ and afterwards we went to look at laptops (cause Mikko needs a new one, as his old one died O_O) and then we went into a bookstore.
I FOUND JANG GEUN SEOK IN THE BOOKSTORE. YAY! *adds to album of epic JGS ads* I wanted to look at manhwa (Korean manga) but ended up buying two volumes of Fullmetal Alchemist (in Korean) that I didn't have at home and two CD's. Dammit -__-"more CD's.
Also B.A.P had done a fansigning event at this exact bookstore only 2 months prior. /sobs.
And now.. some random photos! I don't know how to categorize these so yeah.. just look at them. LOL.
Y'all should add TASTY "Spectrum" and SHINee "Sherlock" to this bunch. lol
LOL Engriiiish. Harr harr harr~!
Thanks for reading! : D
I'll try to be less sporadic about the posts from now on.. but ugh. I don't experience that much worth blogging about. G-Dragon's new single "ONE OF A KIND" came out (and people are calling him racist for being tan and having black kids in his video, lol) but the album/single hasn't come out yet -__-" So annoying. Anyway, if you wanna watch it, here it is:
Stay well and don't go out in the typhoon later today ok! O__o"

CAMS gives honours to recognise those people in the community whose service and contributions have made a significant difference to CAMS and motor sport.The CAMS Motor Sport Awards, presented by Burson Auto Parts, recognise the actions and achievements of people who go above and beyond what could be reasonably expected, and in doing so, encourages aspirations and ideals of the highest standards and values within our sport. The night is a celebration of our national champions and others who are recognised for their outstanding contribution to Australian motor sport. Nominations for CAMS National and State Motor Sport Awards have now closed.
For more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
2015: Simon Bulasch
The 2015 Donald Thomson is awarded to Simon Bulasch's for his courageous and selfless actions assisting a struggling driver escape from his vehicle and then offering assistance to a second driver. Tim Playford's car broke its drive line off the start and the three cars of Carl Weinands, Simon Bulasch and Alan Langworthy were unable to avoid a collision. Although Simon's car took the most impact, bring lifted off the ground and bursting into flames, Simon managed to escape his car quickly. Noticing that Alan was struggling to exit his car and with the flames only metres away, he raced in to assist Alan escape. Once he knew Alan was clear, his next action was to ensue that Tim was also able to clear his vehicle. These courageous and selfless actions to ensure that other drivers were safe at a time when there was significant risk from fire brings great credit on Simon Bulasch and to the spirit of the club and all motor sport.
2014: Ryan McLeod
Ryan McLeod brought credit to himself and the sport and portrayed a genuine consideration for others in 2014 at a round at Sydney Motor Sport Park. At Sydney Motorsport Park on 11 July 2014, a car rolled over 6 times and caught fire. Ryan in a following car immediately stopped, and made several attempts to extricate the injured driver from the car which was by that time well alight. When assistance arrived, he continued his efforts to subdue the flames. Through Ryan's efforts the injured driver survived and whilst, suffering life-threatening burns, recovered. Ryan McLeod's actions reflect extreme courage and selflessness in a very confronting situation, and portray genuine consideration for the well-being of a fellow competitor, making him a worthy recipient of the Donald Thomson award.
2013: Robert Newman
Awarded in recognition of Robert Newman's courageous actions attempting the rescue of a trapped driver from a burning car at Adelaide International Raceway. Robert went to the aid of Colin Trengove when he lost control of his Lola T332 F5000 racing car, crashing heavily before the it erupted into flames. Robert immediately went to his aid finding him unconscious and still strapped in the burning car. Believing Colin had survived the impact, and with no regard for his own safety, Robert endeavoured to keep the flames away from the driver while he desperately tried to extract him from the car, refusing to give up until the arrival of medical assistance. This extreme act of courage and selflessness under horrific circumstances was above and beyond what would ever be expected, demonstrating Robert's unwavering consideration for others, bringing credit to both himself and the sport in the process.
2008: Dion Hardy
Awarded in recognition of Dion's prompt and courageous action in rescuing a trapped competitor from a submerged off road competition vehicle at Kellevie on 17 May 2008. Without the assistance of Dion, the trapped competitor almost certainly would have suffered life threatening complications. In honour of the formative Secretary General of CAMS, this award recognises individuals who have brought credit to the sport by way of a spontaneous act of selflessness and consideration for others – an attitude of service and courage which was always upheld by Donald Kingsley Thompson. This award recognised the act of courage and selflessness under unique circumstances, which is above and beyond what would normally be expected. In doing so, Dion brought credit to himself and the sport and portrayed a genuine consideration for others.
2004: Adam Tipping
In 2004, the Award was presented to Adam Tipping who was competing at a Multiclub Super Sprint at Oran Park in September 2004 when a historic 1965 Ford Cortina rolled. The body of the car suffered extensive damage and a split fuel tank resulted in a fire, threatening driver Hilton Bennet's life. Being the first immediate following competitor, Adam stopped and extracted Bennet from the burning vehicle before FIV Rescue arrived. Due to his prompt actions, neither Bennet nor his rescuer suffered fire related injuries.
1986: Matthew Springer
At Baskerville in March of 1986, two cars touched accidentally. One crashed and caught fire. The driver was unable to release the seat belt. The other driver, 17-year-old Matthew Springer, stopped his car and immediately went to the aid of the trapped driver. Without regard for his own safety and after having been beaten back by flames and heat initially, he succeeded in removing the door from the car, unbuckled the driver and dragged him out of the fire. His courage has been recognised by other authorities. The sport has paid tribute by conferring upon him this Award.
1985: Peter Nelson
When Australia was granted a round of the World Formula 1 Championship for its 1985 Grand Prix, CAMS needed to put together the most competent race management and organisation team available. A cornerstone of that team, and the organisation of the very successful race meeting, was Peter Nelson who was appointed Race Secretary. This high point of his career came after 20 years in the sport with Phillip Island Auto Racing Club, first at Phillip Island, and subsequently as the provider of the administration team at Calder.
1981: Ed Van der Weide and Robert England
The second and third Awards were made to Ed Van der Weide and Robert England, fire and flag marshal respectively, following an incident at Oran Park on 12 April, 1981. On that occasion a car had crashed and was engulfed in flames, the unconscious driver still inside. By their prompt action in attacking the fire and eliminating further risk to the driver, Messrs Van der Weide and England prevented a serious incident turning to tragedy.
1979: Robert Hockley
The first Donald Thomson Award was presented to Robert Hockley in 1979, who was a scrutineer at the Bathurst race meeting in 1978. As refuelling operations on a car were completed, spilt fuel ignited, and the clothes of a mechanic caught fire. Mr Hockley pushed the burning man to the ground and tore the burning clothes from him. In doing so, he himself received severe burns to both arms and hands. There is no doubt that his actions reduced the severity of the injuries sustained by the mechanic.
Membership of Honour may be awarded to a person whose achievements in motor sport have demonstrated leadership, commitment and passion which has added greatly to the value and stature of Australian motor sport.

Stuffed Rock Cornish Hen Recipe
Rock Cornish hens are an alternative to a large roasting chicken, and
they cook in a fraction of the time.
The stuffing is a great part of this recipe, it has a good combination
of textures and flavors and the yogurt keeps the dressing moist,
while adding a nice tang.
Ingredients for making stuffed Rock Cornish hens;
2-1/2-cups chicken broth
1-cup converted rice( I use Uncle Ben's)
1-cup plain yogurt
1/2-cup raisins, dried cranberries or dried currents
1/4-cup pine nuts or slivered almonds
1/4-cup sliced green onions
2-1/2-tablespoons orange juice
1-1/2-teaspoons grated orange peel
1/4-teaspoon ground allspice
1/4-teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-teaspoon salt
1/2-teaspoon fresh ground pepper
6-Rock Cornish hens(1 to 1-1/2 pounds each)
Step 1...
Bring chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the rice.
Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let stand covered
until all liquid is absorbed, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 2...
Stir in 1/2 cup of the yogurt, raisins, pine nuts, green onions, orange juice, orange peel,
allspice, and cinnamon.
Step 3...
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 4...
Stuff the Rock Cornish hens with the rice mixture. Use about 3/4-cup per hen.
Step 5...
Place the hens on a rack in a large shallow baking dish. Brush with 1/4-cup of yogurt and
sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 45 minutes.
Brush the hens with the remaining 1/4-cup yogurt and continue to bake
for 35 to 40 minutes more or until juices run clear when hens are pierced with a fork.
Makes 6 servings.

Houston and several other Texas and Louisiana ports hope to restart operations by Monday as logistics providers begin a difficult recovery from Hurricane Harvey and its devastating floods.
The ports of Houston, Freeport, Corpus Christi, and Galveston, Texas, remained closed to deep-draft ships Wednesday until channels can be surveyed for obstructions and shoaling.
The ports of Beaumont, Port Arthur, Sabine Pass, and Lake Charles, Louisiana are also closed.
The US Coast Guard allowed tugs and barges with up to a 20-foot draft to operate in the Port of Corpus Christi's inner harbor. The port's main channel remains closed to ship traffic, but port officials said they were restoring electricity to terminals and hope to reopen Monday.
MIQ Logistics Houston will remain closed through Friday September 1st and while we are aiming to reopen the office on Tuesday September 5th, we will only do so once emergency officials have advised that it is safe to move about.
MIQ does not anticipate that the Houston office will be fully staffed during the first week of September, as the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey has impacted our Houston colleagues.
No major damage has been reported at Houston port to terminals, warehouses, and distribution centers, but their reopening has been hampered by the extensive flooding.
Container lines that initially avoided diverting Houston-bound ships have begun rerouting vessels to other ports in order to minimize disruption to schedules.
The 2M service of Maersk Line and Mediterranean Shipping Co. has changed schedules for some of its Houston-bound ships, and diverted two of them to Freeport, Bahamas. The Maersk Ohio, which had been due to dock at Houston from Europe, instead will call Freeport, where its US imports will be picked up by Maersk Denver, which had been scheduled to call Houston this week, but now is scheduled to do so Saturday.
The MSC Sao Paulo, which operates on the 2M service to the US Gulf via the Panama Canal, was scheduled to call Mobile on Thursday and then proceed to Houston, reversing its regular Gulf port rotation.
Cosco said customers should expect delays on the Cosco Auckland, the next ship due at Houston on the carrier's GME service via the Panama Canal from Asia. Cosco noted that rail service remains interrupted, and warned that customers should expect "a shortage of truck drivers over the next few weeks."
Union Pacific, BNSF, and Kansas City Southern railroads have suspended service to the area and announced embargoes on all rail traffic in and out of Houston and its surrounding region after track flooding and washouts.

Too often, our prayer lives look eerily one-note. I'm guilty here. There seems to be the big three in all of our prayers: "Thanks God," "Bless our food, God," and "Heal so-and-so, God." Now none of these, in themselves, are bad things to pray. In fact, they're all good things to pray. However, we need to be going a whole lot deeper than that. What if we all connected our prayer lives to the mission of our church? What if we prayed like Christ? Like Paul?
Pray the mission of your church
If the mission of your church is to only heal the sick, then please continue to pray for that most of all. However, it's probably not. If that's your church's mission, you've probably ceased being a church and become more of, you know…a hospital. There is a bigger sickness around. The sickness of sin and of separation from God in your community and in the world is more important. If the church is more concerned about physical sickness inside the walls than spiritual sickness outside, it's not a church.
Pray for others…really
I'm not just talking about praying for your friend's job or their mom's health. Again, those are good things to pray for. However, they're not the most important. Take a look at some of Paul's prayers. Here was a man who had his priorities straight. He knew the number one thing people needed, and he prayed that for them. Take a look at Ephesians 3:14-21. That's some serious stuff. He's not praying for surface things. He's praying the number one thing. He is praying that they will actually, fully understand God's love. From that understanding, he knows they will have all they need.
Pray God's will…really
And here, I'm not just saying to conclude your prayers with "Your will be done." That's way too easy. Really meaning it is something completely different. Want to know God's will? Crack open the Bible and find something that Christ commanded that is difficult for you. Then, turn it into a verb and put your name in front of it. That's what I mean by praying God's will. God's will is that we do the things in Scripture. So, if we get an example from Ephesians 4:29, it goes a little something like this: "Chris, let everything you say be good and helpful." Do I do that all the time? Nope. So praying God's will can be asking God for help in living out the difficult parts of Scripture. It can also be an override of your will. Too often, we pray for God's will, but deep down inside, we want our own. Being able to pray like Jesus in Luke 22:42 is so important. Jesus did not want to die. He didn't want to suffer and be broken. However, he bent to the Father's will. What does that look like in your life?

I fell and bruised my face so instead of a post post I will share with you Marcel Duchamp's essay The Creative Act from 1957. Stay safe kids.
The Creative Act
Let us consider two important factors, the two poles of the creation of art: the artist on one hand, and on the other the spectator who later becomes the posterity.
To all appearances, the artist acts like a mediumistic being who, from the labyrinth beyond time and space, seeks his way out to a clearing. If we give the attributes of a medium to the artist, we must then deny him the state of consCiousness on the esthetic plane about what he is doing or why he is doing it. All his decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self analysis, spoken or written, or even thought out.
T. S. Eliot, in his essay on "Tradition and the Individual Talent," writes: "The more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates; the more perfectly will the mind digest and transmute the passions which are its material."
Millions of artists create; only a few thousands are discussed or accepted by the spectator and many less again are consecrated by posterity. In the last analysis, the artist may shout from all the rooftops that he is a genius; he will have to wait for the verdict of the spectator in order that his declarations take a social value and that, finally, posterity includes him in the primers of Art History.
I know that this statement will not meet with the approval of many artists who refuse this mediumistic role and insist on the validity of their awareness in the creative act-yet, art history has consistently decided upon the virtues of a work of art through considerations completely divorced from the rationalized explanations of the artist.
If the artist, as a human being, full of the best intentions toward himself and the whole world, plays no role at all in the judgment of his own work, how can one describe the phenomenon which prompts the spectator to react critically to the work of art? In other words how does this reaction come about?
This phenomenon is comparable to a transference from the artist to the spectator in the form of an esthetic osmosis taking place through the inert matter, such as pigment, piano or marble.
But before we go further, I want to clarify our understanding of the word "art"-to be sure, without an attempt to a definition. What I have in mind is that art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way as a bad emotion is still an emotion.
Therefore, when I refer to "art coefficient," it will be understood that I refer not only to great art, but I am trying to describe the subjective mechanism which produces art in a raw state-d l'etat brut-bad, good or indifferent.
In the creative act, the artist goes from intention to realization through a chain of totally subjective reactions. His struggle toward the realization is a series of efforts, pains, satisfactions, refusals, decisions, which also cannot and must not be fully self-conscious, at least on the esthetic plane.
The result of this struggle is a difference between the intention and its realization, a difference which the artist is not aware of.
Consequently, in the chain of reactions accompanying the creative act, a link is missing. This gap which represents the inability of the artist to express fully his intention; this difference between what he intended to realize and did realize, is the personal "art coefficient" contained in the work.
In other words, the personal "art coefficient" is like an arithmetical relation between the unexpressed but intended and the unintentionally expressed.
To avoid a misunderstanding, we must remember that this "art coefficient" is a personal expression of art "d /'etat brut," that is, still in a raw state, which must be "refined" as pure sugar from molasses, by the spectator; the digit of this coefficient has no beadng whatsoever on his verdict. The creative act takes another aspect when the spectator experiences the phenomenon of transmutation; through the change from inert matter into a work of art, an actual transubstantiation has taken place, and the role of the spectator is to determine the weight of the work on the esthetic scale.
All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.

Due to its complexity and proximity to neurovascular structures the acetabulum is a very difficult skeletal area on which to operate7 This acetabular complexity makes the treatment for these lesions controversial.
Unlike the femur, a lesion involving the acetabulum can not be readily stabilized with an intramedullary fixation or replacement with a composite prosthesis. Because of this, and many other technical considerations, the external hemipelvectomy remained the standard of surgical therapy for large acetabular tumors until the 1970's.8
The external hemipelvectomy refers to amputation of the innominate bone (ilium, pubis, and ischium), including the ipsilateral extremity.
While this can provide cure of a primary neoplasm, the resection of the viable lower extremity is problematic. Not only is it disfiguring, but only younger, stronger patients are able to ambulate with a fitted prosthesis (see right). Older patients are often confined to a wheelchair or possibly bedridden. This procedure not only has functional problems, as it is also plagued with high infection rates.8,9
The shift towards limb-sparing procedures, including the internal hemipelvectomy, began in the 1970's. The internal hemipelvectomy entails complete or partial resection of the innominate bone with preservation of the limb. Although this maintains a viable limb, the patient is left with significant leg length discrepancy, 'flail hip' and instability. Rehabilitation times are prolonged and high rates of infection are seen.8,9

Technology Tips – Published March 2017 in the Guide and Digest
By Don Trauger – Kennett
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has recently introduced a new version of its venerable anti-malware offering. It's available at malwarebytes.com. Click the Free Download button to download it. It comes with a 14 day free trial of it's premium features including anti ransomware protection. I recommend to select the free version. More on this shortly. Double click the mb3-setup-consumer file in your Downloads folder to install it. Accept the agreement and continue to select "Next" through the installation. When you get to "Install" click it. Close out the little pop-up window that shows Protection Layers Turned Off. Click "Finish" in the install window. Click "Learn More" or "Close" in the introductory window. You may see a reference to the fact that this new version can replace your anti-virus. I will strongly recommend that you do not consider this. If you have an earlier version of Malwarebytes installed, this new version will take its place.
Although Malwarebytes comes with the 14 day free trial, I recommend that you select the free version. You can hold off for awhile to evaluate whether or not the paid version is right for you. To select the free version click Settings, My Account and click "Deactivate License".
During the free 14 day trial updates are performed automatically. After that, or if you have deactivated the license, updating Malwarebytes free is manual. Click the up chevron on the Taskbar (Windows 10) and click the blue "M". Click "Check for Updates". When Malwarebytes opens, click the circular arrow in Scan Status. To update the program you can also click the Desktop Malwarebytes icon to perform the update as described above. Make sure that the program Updates are "Current" under Scan Status before clicking the Scan Now button to perform a system scan. Scanning should be done weekly or as needed.
Other program options can be found when you click Settings and by clicking the tabs at the top. However, I find that the factory settings are appropriate for most users.
AdwCleaner, another anti-malware product, is a great compliment to Malwarebytes. It's good to have another asessment tool on your system and it's also available from Malwarebytes. Click here to download it or copy the link to your browser. https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/. Double click the download to open it then click Scan. Follow any screen prompts. There is no formal installation.
Please come to the PC Club meetings. We'll show you how to install and run Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner. Also, there will be time for your general questions. We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7 PM in the Ardmore room of the Community Center.

North East MSP Christian Allard is calling on motorists to stay safe as we head into a new year.
The SNP MSP is also reminding drivers that the lower the legal drink driving limit of 50mg per 100ml of blood – in line with the rest of Europe – is already law.
Mr Allard recently took part in a driving session with Neil Warden from the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM). IAM encourages drivers to think more about their actions.
Hazardous winter driving conditions can arrive with little warning so it is better that drivers always take a careful approach.
Mr Allard urged other motorists to take the opportunity to learn about advanced driving and make sure they stay safe on the roads this winter.
Commenting, he said: "It was fantastic to learn from Neil Warden.
"He has extensive knowledge and it is clear that some of the techniques he spoke about will enable drivers to avoid accidents.
"With wintery conditions starting to affect the North East it is important that drivers take the opportunity to learn from the experts and become safer drivers.
"It is easy to pick up bad habits when you have been driving for years.
"Learning to drive the car instead of letting the car drive you can save lives."
The SNP MSP reminded motorists of the new lower legal drink driving limit which is now in place.
Mr Allard, who is a member of the Justice Committee that was responsible for scrutinising the legislation, said:
"I want to remind motorists that the new lower drink driving limit of 50mg per 100ml of blood is already law.
"Don't drink and drive, it is not worth the risk. Plan ahead; take a bus, get a taxi or just don't drink," he added.

Madam Speaker, my response is not only honest, it is accurate. The member knows it. The Auditor General said that the costs were $688 million. That is over eight years since 1995. The $1 billion figure would be at the end of 2005, in three years time. They are running fast and loose with the numbers and they know darn well they are doing it.

The subjects of this project are Yiddish-speaking migrants in the urban microcosm of Berlin. Yiddish was spoken and written mainly by the "common people" from Poland, Galicia, and Rumania as well as within the Jewish labor movement. The center of Yiddish Berlin was the so-called Scheunenviertel in the Spandauer Vorstadt.
Proceeding from an approach that emphasizes the lifeworld, we will study migrants as social actors, the majority of whom did not belong to the bourgeois privileged classes. Everyday life, networks, and interrelationships form the focus of investigation.
The research project seeks to contribute to the cultural history of twentieth-century migration and to the study of Berlin's role as a center of migration. The research will take into account the migrants' transnational connections as well as their roles as mediators between East and West, and present a differentiated picture of the complex relationships between Eastern and Western European Jews.

Source: Unions' Gray day | Fremantle Herald Interactive
The link above is a thinking allowed article by Phil Mercer, Phil had sent me the unabridged version so here it is. I understand the heralds space for thinking allowed is about 500+ words, Phils is a little longer than that.
Reading this is a reason i know i couldn't be in a political party, all the BS is just to much, I'm sure i couldn't put up with it?
Phil "Page 5, Page 5, Thinking Allowed from the insightful and provocative Fremantle Herald, edited down from 1500 words to 527, still kinda got the gist."
Anyway here is Phils full article;
Gary Gray takes the fall for Fremantle's Union Queens
Rockingham's Labor stalwart and Shadow Minister for Resources is having his Parliamentary career targeted by a concerted attack by the MUA/CFMEU Super Union and United Voice.
It seems an unlikely fate for an articulate warrior that has been such an asset to the ALP brand and a heart on his sleeve Labor man.
Gary Gray's problems come from his refusal to sign the candidate's pledge which dictates obedience to the State Secretary and the Campaign Director in campaigning for the office. Incredibly they use the actual work obey, not discuss or co-operate but O-B-E-Y OBEY. I haven't met one Fremantle female who would allow that stipulation in their marriage contract let alone a work agreement. Clive Palmer could only dream of dictation.
The document is quite emphatic going on to request "I will act as the State Secretary and the Campaign Director direct me in carrying out my duties." It begs the question, why would anybody sign such a document? And why when you are on the Federal executive, when you should be democratically voting in the interests of the people are you beholden to the State Secretary – (The Great Leader). In that situation anything could feasibly happen, a fair and just person the likes perhaps of a Simon Crean, Kim Beazley or Martin Ferguson could be replaced by any wild card. Do we really want to inadvertently endorse the views of a Joe McDonald or Dave Noonan whilst voting for the wholesome appeal of Mel Parke.
In the lead-up to the last Federal Election the Fremantle Herald graciously ran an article by myself urging the Browse Basin gas reserves to be processed onshore and the unprecedented billion dollar royalties to be spent on indigenous prosperity. LABOR LOSES BLUE. The project has subsequently gone offshore and state revenue lost despite a die hard, desperate and futile fight by Mr C Barnett.
I really was not expecting a response mainly because of Fremantle's ingrained support of indigenous advancement and really what profile do I have? Just another pleb out there in the Valley, it's the first time I have ever written to a newspaper and I had to check myself, or at least become comfortable with early onset crack-pot-ness.
I was truly flattered that none less than the current Minister for Resources and inexplicably Small Business wrote a passionate and reasoned defense. OFFSHORE JOBS A GRAY AREA. It left out any reference to Indigenous royalties, but nonetheless was an informative piece written by somebody with in depth knowledge that gave the public insights to the decision.
What was telling however was no comment from the then Fremantle based Minister for International Development Melissa Parke. Whilst the gist is it's Gray's area, the article was in The Fremantle Herald not the Rockingham Community News, in the lead up to an election the views of some misguided Liberal hippie are hardly his concern.
"I have never give in to bullies and I will not now". Is Mr Gray's statement that spiked my interest, because he forcefully seems to be acting upon it. If you are one of the thousands of construction workers who bristles at the totalitarian 'no ticket no start signs' or Coles employees who have had their wages traded off by the AWU then you'd be impressed too.
Depressingly it's exactly Mr Gray's stance on offshore builds that has him in the sights of the cashed up Super Unions wanting to terminate him. These are the same unions that support so generously the Political careers of Ms Parke, McGurk and Ludlum. In an act of Political suicide Gary Gray has pushed the self destruct button by provocatively blacking out parts of his Candidates Pledge, is Rockingham's Sam Worthington casting for a remake of Jerry McGuire?
What would posses such a bespectacled Labor achiever to buck the system so courageously? The answer also lies in his attacks from the Electrical Trade Union. This being the mob that spent millions promoting the lie that Canning Candidate Andrew Hastie and his troops were war criminals and not regular members of the ADF. Perhaps he could not stand the thought of seeing those Anti Chinese Free Trade Agreement billboards parked outside his office and begrudgingly having to accept the laundered campaign money from his Union masters.
To add insight into the benefits of the China FTA is exactly the reason we need more politicians like our plucky hero.
The ETU's cherry picked misinformation from the heavy volumes of the ChAFTA is "removes the requirement for mandatory skills assessment for ten occupations including: Electrician (Special Class)…" In isolation it sounds truly scary a little bit like "you have cancer" leave out the 'but you will still live to 110' bit and it's not an accurate statement. The reason requirements like this are in the document goes to the heart of any trade agreement and will always benefit the more sophisticated country.
If for example Fiona Wood was sick of her name being tarnished from bad press about Australia's most impressive hospital and wanted to manufacture her patented plastic skin in China, helping millions around the world and international affection for Team WA, then the only way to do this would be to send the only technicians in the world capable of setting up those miraculous machines. That's right the Special Class Electricians from good old WA!
The ETU and Melissa Parke on the other hand are campaigning tooth and nail for our sons and daughters not to be able to engage with the world. They are saying that these same unique technicians will have to attend China's version of TAFE and re-do their qualifications in Mandarin, and of course visa versa for the world wanting to bring its innovations here. Would Fremantle resident Ben Elton be forced to attend WAAPA until we thought his humour was properly Australian enough, or would we rather embrace his overseas success. The rider of course is that the agreement does not affect our immigration or visa policies so the protections have always been in place. I'll also concede that such complex agreements will never be perfect, but what in life is? Things can always be tweaked, there's always another election. Where is the thrill of watching our children be challenged and prosper rather than shielded away on a Pacific/Indian Ocean island? Why should our offshore business pioneers live with the fear of their technology and companies being taken from them by unscrupulous Chinese officials?
Melissa Parke let Gary Gray publicly defend her from my claims about the benefits of onshore versus offshore Gas Processing, now The MUA, CFMEU, ETU, and Simone McGurk's United Voice (formerly HSU) have lined up to execute Gary Gray's political career. With friends like that who needs enemies?
Tragic that Gary's best defence comes from the ALP member in Marrickville NSW. "They (Labor WA) are controlled by a set of left-wing militant unions who seem intent on expelling a politician who, I think, in fairness and speaking in a bipartisan way, has the respect really of all his colleagues within the parliament, including on the government side for the work that he has done as a minister." Anthony Albanese told reporters in Canberra. And certainly not from his almost hostile Rockingham neighbour Mark McGowan who pointed out that the pledge has not changed in 20 years, great!
It's interesting to see that nobody else seems to feel the confliction that is keeping Gazza up at night, as he pointed out; the state leader did not have to "ride a political horse, which is heading in two directions" like he did. Again it would seem that Ms Parke has no problem galloping along Michelle Payne style on her heavily backed steed.
My affection for the maverick Gary is only confused by the thought going through my head as I attended my teenage hero's book launch at Notre Dame recently, it's all very good listening to your principled stand on poker machines Peter Garret, but in the end you were a Frontbencher of a Party that owns a hell of a lot of Poker Machines!
Similarly Mr Gray you joined a Party that lets the Unions collect money from unwilling workers in the most blatant and aggressive manner whilst running a protection racket with the bosses.
If you run with the mob, sooner or later you will get a horse's head in your bed, one way to stop it going in two directions I suppose.
Sincerely, well done, good luck. Lets hear what Melissa has to say?

Long Beach Residents Urged to Turn Off Sprinklers in Anticipation of Weekend Storms
2010-11-19 · By Editor
The Long Beach Water Department is asking residents to keep their sprinkler systems turned off for the next week after a storm system makes its way through California this weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, a large trough of low pressure will be moving its way down from the Northwest into the southern California region over the weekend. Two different systems are expected to bring precipitation into the area on Saturday and Sunday, with current rainfall estimates projecting half an inch to one inch of total rain through Monday. On a typical November day in Long Beach, about 0.08 inches of water is lost from the ground's surface into the atmosphere, meaning that an inch of rain can fulfill the watering demands for landscapes for nearly two weeks.
"We are encouraging our customers to give their sprinklers a break for at least a week," said Dr. Suzanne Dallman, President of the Long Beach Board of Water Commissioners. "With the amount of rain that is forecast to fall in Long Beach this weekend, there shouldn't be any need to run outdoor irrigation systems for a while," added Dr. Dallman.
As part of its ongoing commitment to water conservation, the City of Long Beach recently announced its "100 by 100" initiative, the objective of which is to reduce per capita water consumption in Long Beach to 100 gallons or less per day by the end of 2011, which also happens to be the Water Department's 100th anniversary.
The initiative is being promoted in response to a decision made by the Board of Directors for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) to guarantee the water supply of any MWD member agency (including Long Beach, which purchases 40 percent of its water supply from MWD) that achieves an average daily per capita water use rate of 100 gallons or less. At the end of October, Long Beach daily per capita water use was calculated at 101.7 gallons.
"The City of Long Beach is now within two percent of reaching its 100 by 100 goal," said Kevin Wattier, General Manager for the Long Beach Water Department. "By continuing to make responsible, but simple decisions such as turning off outdoor watering systems during and after rainstorms, our city will achieve its 100 gallon goal and in doing so, will secure a reliable water supply for future years," added Wattier.
November often signals the start of the rainy season in California, but with La Nina conditions expected to impact the West Coast this winter, it's difficult to predict whether or not the state will revert back to drought-like conditions later this year. In the meantime, residents should take advantage of any opportunities that allow them to further reduce their water use.
Customers with automatic sprinkler systems can sign up to receive periodic notices throughout the year that recommend when to adjust sprinkler systems according to changes in weather patterns and hydrologic conditions, by visiting www.lbwater.org , and clicking on E-Watering Update.
The Long Beach Water Department is an urban, southern California retail water supply agency and the standard in water conservation and environmental stewardship.

China's poultry processing food safety inspection system once again has been named as equivalent to that of the U.S., which clears the way for Chinese exporters to ship processed poultry products to the U.S.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) first designated China's system as equivalent to the U.S. system in 2006. The designation only applies to processed poultry products (the raw poultry used in these processed products must come from the U.S. or Canada and the product must be fully cooked before export). China currently is not approved to ship raw poultry products to the U.S.
"As always, FSIS is fully committed to protecting the nation's food supply and if China begins exporting processed chicken products to the United States, all food safety steps will be taken as if the products were processed in the United States," FSIS stated in a frequently asked question section paired with the announcement.
As part of ensuring China's system remains compliant, FSIS has noted that processed poultry products imported from China are subject to increased scrutiny at U.S. ports of entry, and the agency will conduct annual audits.
In order to export poultry products to the U.S., FSIS must determine that the country treats products in an equivalent manner to the U.S.'s Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) and FSIS regulations. FSIS also conducts audits and reviews of exporters, according to an August 30 constituent update.
For the full FAQ on the equivalence as well as a timeline, visit FSIS's website here.

Preview version of Power BI Report Server is available. It's called May 2017 Preview and is available together with dedicated Power BI Desktop application.
Let's take a look how to install and generally how it works!
What is it? It is a combination of Power BI Desktop features with SQL Server Reporting Services and it works on-premise.
Let's take a look at the Power BI on-prem vs other products.
Acquiring Power BI Report Server we can use Power BI reports, paginated reports (rdls) and mobile reports (based on Datazen) on-premises.
It is based on SQL Server Reporting Services but is separated from SQL Server setup and release cycle. It will be updated multiple times per year!
You can also migrate reports from SSRS 2008 or later to this version.
Power BI Report Server requires:
- .NET Framework 4.6
- Operating system – from Windows Server 2012-2016, or Windows 8.1-Windows 10
- x64 processor
- SQL Server 2008-2016. It is required after installation and it is not required to collocate it with Power BI Reports Server.
More at Hardware and software requirements for installing Power BI Report Server
First you need to download Power BI Report Server from Microsoft Download Center.
Run the installer file and choose Install Power BI Report Server.
In the screens you must accept license agreements, choose install folder and edition type (evaluation, developer or provide key).
After installation complete we must configure Report Server.
This is the same configuration steps as in SQL Reporting Services. We need to configure accounts, database and URLs.
Next step is to verify our new Power BI Report Server. Simple go your Web Portal URL.
Install Power BI Desktop
We need to install special version of Power BI Desktop which works with Power BI Report Server. Installer is available on Microsoft Download Center.
This version can coexist with normal version of Power BI Desktop (you can have both installed on computer).
Create report
Now we can start creating our first Power BI on-prem report.
This preview version (May 2017) supports only Analysis Services as data source so let's create one. Simply choose Analysis Services and enter server name.
Now choose model.
And build some Dashboard.
Now we can save it directly to Power BI Report Server. Simply choose Save As and select Power BI Report Server.
Enter your report server URL.
Now we can go to the Web Portal and see how it works.
The same Dashboard as created in Power BI Desktop. Rendered directly on-premises.
As you can see installation process is simple and fast. If you are familiar with SQL Server Reporting Services it takes you only a few minutes.
This version allows only Analysis Services as data source only but for testing it is really enough. More data sources will come in next versions.
There are some bugs and glitches but this is a preview and I hope that final version will be polished.
It works fast, experience is almost the same as in classic Power BI and it works on-premises. Now we only need to wait for final version which is expected this month!

Was it really as bad as online commenters made it out to be?
On Tuesday, Rachel Frederickson was declared the winner of Biggest Loser's fifteenth season, after shedding roughly 60% of her bodyweight. Unfortunately for Frederickson, the new figure and $250 000 prize check came with a hefty dose of criticism online. The 5-foot-4, 24-year-old Frederickson dropped from 260 pounds to 105 under the show's rigorous exercise and diet regimen, and time spent on her own before the finale, making a lot of people wonder whether that much weight loss in a short amount of time wouldn't be harmful to the contestant's health. According to "experts" quoted by the Washington Post, however, the criticism levied against her and increased media attention on her persona could prove more harmful to Frederickson's health than the rapid weight change.
Even the notoriously demanding Jillian Michaels seemed surprised by Friederickson's sudden change.
According to her bio on the show, Frederickson was a three-time state champion swimmer at Stillwater Area High School in Minnesota, then turned to sweets for solace after a failed romance with a foreign exchange student she followed to his native Germany. It's not a story seen often outside of romantic comedies, but apparently it's all true.
Fredericksen's weight loss during her self-imposed regimen seemed to surprise even trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper during the show's Tuesday night finale. She lost over 150 pounds, bringing her BMI (body mass index) to a number below the normal range, said Jillian Lampert, senior director of the Emily Program, an eating disorder treatment program based in St. Paul, Minn.
A stunned Bob Harper congratulated Frederickson on her loss.
Nevertheless, leaning too strongly in the other direction and criticizing Frederickson for her newly thin frame, can be just as harmful as pushing her towards extreme weight loss in the first place, says Lampert for the WP. "As a society we often criticize people for being at higher weights — that's part of why we have the TV show 'The Biggest Loser' — and then we feel free to criticize lower weight," she explains.
During an appearance on "Access Hollywood," Frederickson didn't directly respond to the criticism but said she intends to live a healthy lifestyle going forward. "My journey was about finding that confident girl again. Little by little, challenge by challenge, that athlete came out. And it sparked inside me this feeling that I can do anything I can conceive. And I found that girl, and I'm just going to embrace her fully," she said.
The trainers coached the contestants through most of the process, but they were on their own for the final stretch.

Do you believe in miracles?
By Bruce Lowett
Gordie Howe's career was in its twilight. Wayne Gretzky was only a glimmer on the NHL horizon. Hockey was essentially a Canadian sport with limited United States appeal, mostly in the Northeast.
But the United States vs. the Soviet Union in anything was still big in the Cold War era, and the Olympics were as good a flash point as any.
The U.S. team beat the Soviets 3-2 en route to its gold medal at the 1960 Squaw Valley Olympics. But that was a different era.
"I guess we were in the right place at the wrong time," said Bill Christian, whose goal beat that Soviet team. "We just went back to our hotel for a little celebration. The day after we won the gold, we were on our way home, back to our individual jobs. That was it. No big celebrations. Nothing."
At the start of the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y., the U.S. team was, like its gold-medal predecessor, little more than an afterthought -- even in the mind of its coach.
"The Soviets had beaten us 10-3 in an exhibition a few days before the Olympics," Herb Brooks said. "They were fantastic. ... I had little hope for a medal. I would have been very happy to have achieved a fourth-place finish."
The Soviets were seeded No. 1, and deservedly so. They had won five gold medals and one bronze in the previous six Olympics. The seventh-seeded U.S. team could cling to one piece of history.
That one Soviet loss had been administered at Squaw Valley, Calif., in 1960, the last time the Olympics had been held in the United States -- when the Americans beat them in the semifinals and defeated Czechoslovakia to win the gold.
If there was an omen for the 1980 team, good or bad, it was this: Brooks, now coach of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, was the last player cut from the 1960 squad.
The U.S. and USSR teams each won their first five games. On Feb. 22, George Washington's birthday, patriotism was running rampant in and outside the Olympic Field House.
The Soviets unleashed 30 shots in the first two periods to the United States' 10. Only one dramatic save after another by former Boston University goaltender Jim Craig kept the United States close.
When Mark Johnson scored with one second remaining in the first period to tie it at 2, Soviet coach Viktor Tikhonev replaced legendary goalie Vladislav Tretiak with Vladimir Myshkin.
"We didn't even realize (Tretiak) was out of there until the middle of the next period," center Neal Broten said. "But after that first period, we knew we could win."
The Soviets led 3-2 after two periods.
"We told ourselves we were just down one, when we'd been down six after two periods last time we played them," team member John Harrington said. "We'd played 40 minutes, they were just one ahead, but we were younger. We wanted to take it to 'em."
Johnson tied it again, this time on a power play, 8:39 into the third period. And at exactly the 10-minute mark, midway through the final period, Harrington's pass set up Mike Eruzione to become an American icon.
Eruzione, the team captain from Winthrop, Mass., and a member of the International League's Toledo Blades, took Harrington's pass from the corner, skated into the slot between the faceoff circles and unleashed a shot past a Russian defenseman and through Myshkin .
The explosion of cheers was deafening, and most of the 10,000 fans squeezed into the 8,500-seat arena began a chant of "USA! USA!" that never abated in the final 10 minutes.
As the final 10 seconds ticked away, ABC broadcaster Al Michaels gained an immortality of sorts. "Do you believe in miracles?" he shouted, and at the final buzzer he answered, "Yes!"
(Almost anticlimactically, the U.S. team won the gold medal two days later, rallying from a 2-1 deficit after two periods to beat Finland 4-2.)
"We frustrated 'em," Craig said of the Soviet team. "For the first time, I think they panicked. They skate better than anyone in the world; they pass better than anyone in the world. But in the last few minutes tonight they just threw the puck forward. And we were in a zone. Amazing!"
Did he ever imagine being part of something like this?
"Sure I did," Craig said. "Everybody dreams."
Outside the arena, as snow began to fall, the crowd spontaneously broke into The Star Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful and God Bless America.
Later, Brooks pulled from his pocket a yellow card with a scrawled message. He said it contained the pregame message he read to his team:
"You were born to be a player. You were meant to be here."

Glimmer by Lloyd Barnes
Particle with nothing to hide.
Glimmer is Lloyd Barnes' go-to Coin Through Glass.
Most Coin Through Glass effects shy away from the most crucial element, the visual. GLIMMER squares up and takes it on head to head.
If you're using a coin to penetrate a glass, you should hold the glass naturally without covering the mouth and you better make damn sure you can see exactly the where and when that coin passes through glass. Otherwise, you may as well use a coffee mug. Most practitioners fail to do this.
Streamlined to perfection over almost a decade of real world performances, GLIMMER takes your audiences understanding of modern physics and beats it into submission. With no cover and inches away from their eyes, Lloyd passes particle through particle with nothing to hide.
• Impromptu.
• Borrowed.
• Easy to do.
