Firework Law
Fireworks and the Law
It is illegal to sell fireworks to anyone under the age of 18: and it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to possess fireworks in a public place.
Indoor Fireworks (category 1), Garden Fireworks (Category 2) and Display Fireworks (Category 3) can be purchased by adults over 18 years of age. (we operate a challenge 21 policy so please bring I.D).
When can you buy fireworks?
Rainbow Fireworks shop has an all year round specialised license allowing us to sell fireworks 52 weeks per year.
Where can I let off fireworks?
You can let off fireworks on your own property (or someone else's property, provided that they have given you permission to do so) but you cannot let fireworks off in a public place i.e street or park.
When can I let off fireworks?
Fireworks can be let off any day of the year between 7am and 11pm with the following exceptions. * Until 1.00am following the first day of Chinese New Year. * Until 12.00pm on Nov the 5th. * Until 1.00am on the day following Diwali Day. * Until 1.00am on the day following Dec. 31st.
Who do I need to tell?
Inform neighbours, owners of animals, elderly residential homes etc. A little note explaining the date and time of the display and an approximate duration is also a good idea.
How much space do I need to let off fireworks?
Garden Fireworks (Category 2) require a minimum viewing distance of 5m. Display Fireworks (Category 3) require a minimum viewing distance of 25m. Garden Fireworks conforming to the European Standard BS EN 14035 require a minimum viewing distance of 8m. The distances quoted are the minimum viewing distances. You should also be aware of overhead obstructions such as trees, cables etc, also is there a petrol station nearby for example? maybe you are close to the flight path of aeroplanes ? some fireworks produce wide fan shaped effects and that should be taken into consideration when purchasing fireworks for your event.
Storing of fireworks at your home.
Most fireworks that Rainbow Fireworks sell are either category 2 or 3 1.4g/1.3g fireworks, in common with all fireworks and pyrotechnics they should be stored in a cool dry place, well away from any source of ignition, flammable materials or other hazardous goods. A metal cabinet is ideal. Often fireworks are stored in a garage or similar but this can be very dangerous as there are corrosive and flamable liquids in there that could leak or spill onto the fireworks causing self conbustion so please keep well away from anything like that if you do store in your garage or similar. Finally we do not recommend storing fireworks in cupboards etc in your home.

Greenpeace believes that nine months in, APP is serious about its Forest Conservation Policy and its key senior staff are genuinely committed to driving the delivery of these new commitments. However, Greenpeace International's progress review recommends that APP's commitment is likely to stand or fall depending on the quality of recommendations from external assessors, and if they stand up to scrutiny and are fully implemented.
Greenpeace cautions that any company intending to resume any trade with APP must apply strict conditions to commercial contracts requiring continued progress be made against the policy and the outstanding policy issues in Greenpeace's review.

Sandvik has launched the Toro 60 underground truck in Australia, which it says can carry a full 60t load.
Based on the company's rigid frame chassis and triple axle design, the Toro 60 has a small turning radius and a surprisingly small overall size.
Measuring 10.6m long x 3.3m high x 3.2m wide, it can work in the same size tunnels as 50t trucks.
The triple axle design distributes weight effectively and is assisted in this by front and rear axle steering, load compensation and front wheel active suspension.
The Cummings diesel engine produces 567kW output, which Sandvik says gives the truck the highest productivity in its class size. The truck enjoys the power- to-weight ratio of a smaller vehicle and fully loaded it can reach 38.5km/h.
Sandvik says the truck, which went on display at the recent 9th AusIMM Underground Operators' Conference, is designed to work in partnership with the 21t Toro 0011 LHD.
The cabin is sound-proofed, air conditioned and has built-in safety features to protect the machine and the operator. Other features include a separate instructor's seat and ground-level maintenance access.
Sandvik Toro business line manager George Tophinke says the Toro 60 is the first genuine 60t underground truck in the world.
"The Toro 60 has up to 40% higher speed and a 20% greater load capacity, making it the most productive and cost effective truck in its class on the market," Tophinke says.
"I'm certain that Aussie mine managers will love the Toro 60 for its productivity, its reliability and its capacity to move more ore than any other vehicle on the market," he says.
Before arriving in Australia, the truck underwent two years testing at Sandvik's underground and surface test facilities in Finland.

I know, I know, I look a bit like a bag lady or, as some of you might remember from my past performing days, "Fanny Leadbottom"! Oh god! I hope she's not trying to make a comeback!! Anyhow, I'm back at it again with this Exhibition and mini performance of Banjo Paterson's, Man From Snowy River at the Yerington Center for the Arts. All is well for us here in Nevada. I will post pics of property improvements etc later. Meanwhile go to my other blog http://rondaeden.blogspot.com(go left,scroll down and click on the rabbits) and my ornery horse's blog http://themonkeysknownothing.blogspot.com The World According to Kip!Yes he's pretty darn opinionated and full of himself!

2015 Home at the Dome
Callie and Brent visited.
Tried to retire but didn't work. Back at it with a vengence!
Nice renovations to the loft and dome. Still a ton of work to be done. Oh well!
Let's see. How do I keep this short.
We have been here in Wellington, Nevada for 2 years now and love, love, love it! I'm back in my studio after trying to retire from the art world and am now in three local gallery's. Atsy Fartsy in Carson, East Fork in Gardnerville and The Art House in Yerington!
The Brothers Foot, the kiddy's book I illustrated for Steve Cormey, has been republished on Amazon along with Robby the Roo. Go check 'em out.My friend Jen,owner of Bumples Online Interactive Magazine is to thank for that. Go check out Bumples too.We'd love to get some reviews...... hint-hint!
I have also started a wonderful little art group here in the valley. We call ourselves SVAG (Smith Valley Art Group) and comprises of 6 women and one patient gentleman who manages to put up with all our silliness. LOL.This group is probably the best thing i have done so far with my art career!
When I'm not in my studio or riding I do yoga, play guitar,walk and attend a local pistol shooting group. Ladies only! Mernie is having equally as much fun, building, baking, shooting and playing pinochle with the neighbors.We do crosswords together almost every night to keep the grey matter moving. We have no TV as you probably know! Oh, and he too is a yogi and attends a class religiously twice a week.His health is good other than a kidney stone episode and some tooth surgery this year.
We have only three horses now Kipling (see his blog above) Ice and the old gal Lucky. Lucky will be 28 next year and is still very ridable!Kipling completed the 100 mile Tevis this year again as well as a 75 mile and a 50 mile but bombed out on the VC 100. Monkey error of course and you can read all about it straight from the horse's mouth by going to his blog.
In June I did a fabulous road trip back to the Colorado front range and attended my super good friend Debbie's wedding. She finally found her prince after searching among the frogs. Their wedding was celebrated at a medieval castle in Morison and everyone was is costume. What a time we all had! It would sure be one hard to beat!
I visited so many wonderful friends and took in a workshop with Grand Lake's accomplished water colorist Donna Lyons.What a pleasure!
While I was away had our little Arabian mare Subha was put down. Her lameness was getting worse and she was not a very cooperative patient. She is now at peace.
In October our neighbor and good friend Tom and I started attending pottery class in Yerington.We share the driving every Wednesday evening. I love this new medium!
We see the family more now we are closer to Sacramento. Finley and Zoe are great kids and as a bonus they love horses!! What more could a Nanna and Papa want!
Mernie's Mom is still with us and under the tender loving care of his son and daughter-in-law Corky and Cindy. She was 90 this year.Alzheimer's has a grip on her but she battles on. Bless her and bless her carers even more.
Well that about as long as I can sit here at the computer so I wish you all a safe and happy holiday season and New Year surrounded with love and good cheer.
from Ronnie and Mernie xx
Oh and remember, life is way too short to spend time vacuuming!

2014 Christmas Letter
2014 Xmas Letter for Ronnie and Mernie
So we have been in Smith Valley, Wellington Nevada for a year now! Andrea Lewis and Gerri Brown now have On A String Ranch in Laramie and, true to Murphy 's Law, everything broke when we left. They are very capable people and we are confident they will work things out. I have heard the place is still going strong and is still 'The Best Little Horse House in the West'.
We are really enjoying it here and have made super new friends although we miss and think often of all those we left in Laramie. We plan to visit….in the Summer!
We started 2014 with the bare minimum of home comforts, washing dishes in a tub and cooking on a camp stove. We have now completed the guest house with its big beautiful deck over looking the valley, the dome's bedroom and ensuite, hallway, studio and kitchen. We have a washer and dryer and have got the wood heater going. The horses have shelters and a big water trough. We have four now as we sold Flambeau to our friend Jim who lives not too far away and boy has he got it good!
I attempted a garden this year and the rabbits and squirrels thought it was a marvelous idea! I did manage to fence out the deer that wander through and loiter here daily. It is peaceful here.
We have been graced with the presence of many visitors of international character this year. Cousin Coral came from Australia in May. She is the genealogist of the family. Hand it to Coral to find several relatives living out here in the high desert of 'Vada. So now I have Netti, Mike, Tanner, Michaela, and Jacob (who are something like 3rd Cousins twice removed) living just down the road! The good news is, they are super nice people so …thanks Cousin Coral!
Then came the Germans! The peace took a vacation and fun and laughter took its place. My friend Eleanora, her husband Guido and their five children: Katie, Lisa, Noah, Lois and Emma travelled around the West for about 6 weeks in a big bus. We are so glad they dropped by to our little dome home in the middle of nowhere.And of course, there was our Chinese friend Weiwen from Nebraska who came to visit the Germans and also came here for Thanks Giving. We had a really nice Thanks Giving.
Next my Sister Julie and her hubby Steve arrived and spent a fabulous two weeks with us. No time to breathe between the coffee, wine and chin waggin'! We did spend lots of peaceful moments out of the partially finished deck.
In 2013 I met Robert Weldin at I Know You Rider Endurance Ride. He and his beautiful wife Sharron live in Pilot Hill, CA near the Tevis Trail. He convinced me I should train with them and do the Tevis. His help was really appreciated and I'm pleased to say Kipling rocked. We started at 5.15 am on July 9th and completed the famous Tevis Cup on July 10, 2014 at 4.08 am the next morning. Mernie and my new friend and neighbor Tracey- Jean Wolfe crewed brilliantly with some help from Mernie's son Corky and a lovely lady called Heather. Chris, Kip's former owner came all the way from Laramie to be there at the finish line with Kip's favorite treat, black Aussie licorice. That really made this special event extra, extra special! Robert and our Israeli friends also completed with happy and healthy horses.
Our last and cherished visitor this year was Amnon a young man from Israel. We met him through Robert and the Israeli Tevis group. We decided we should take Amnon home with us for a while. Amnon helped Mernie finish the deck and many other projects, exercised and cared for our horses, prepared delicious Mediterranean food, and even taught us a few Hebrew words. He was a pleasure to have around and really kept us on task!
It was a good year. We both have our health and our horses and along with our wonderful friends and family. What more could anyone want?
Next year I plan to focus on Abstract art, pick up the guitar and the doo again and enjoy life with Mernie in the high desert of Nevada.

Three weeks from now, you could be a truck driver. At our Indianapolis truck driving school, you'll learn and refine all the skills you need to obtain your Class A CDL and hit the road. C1 Truck Driver Training has been providing training to new truck drivers for over twenty-five years. With a couple of decades of experience in running a truck driving school, we've been able to refine the process of truck driver training. Our customized three week CDL training program will give you everything you need to pass the CDL skills test.
Our Indianapolis truck driving school is the largest in the city. You'll go through intensive training with experienced CDL training instructors and get behind the wheel of industry standard tractor trailers. Together, we'll help you become a safe, professional driver.
The classroom portion will include lectures and presentations covering a wide range of topics. Educating safe truck drivers is C1's goal, so students will be instructed on proper logging procedures, trip planning & map reading, hazardous materials regulations, accident prevention, and safety and mechanical issues. In addition to the classroom instruction, students will apply the techniques explained in the classroom to the driving range and street exercises. Every student will practice all the skills necessary to safely operate a tractor trailer.
From the classroom, you'll move out to the C1 driving range for behind the wheel training. The Indianapolis driving range provides ample space to learn how to safely maneuver a tractor trailer through a series of driving exercises.
The driving skills emphasized at our Indianapolis training campus include:
The CDL trainers will emphasize the driving skills required to pass the CDL skills test at the end of the training program.
When you've learned the basics of driving a tractor trailer, the next phase of CDL training begins with driving on local roads and highways around metro Indianapolis. This phase of the training puts everything you've learned about driving a truck together so you can apply it to real world driving. With your CDL instructor in the passenger seat guiding your way, you'll navigate through roads and practice such things as defensive driving and accident prevention, shifting techniques, left and right turns, and mechanical operation of the vehicle. C1 puts a focus on commentary, so your truck driving training instructor will help guide you as you talk your way through the constant decision-making involved with driving a tractor trailer.
Our entire staff at C1 Truck Driver Training in Indianapolis puts a lot of effort into working with each student to ensure he or she is successful in passing the CDL skills test. We recognize those students who are exceptional with our CDL Ace Club. In order to become a "CDL Ace" a driver must pass the state CDL skills test on the first try. "Acing" the CDL test on the first try is a big accomplishment that we recognize with our very special Red C1 Graduation hat with "CDL Ace" stitched in gold on the side.
New trucking driving training classes begin each Monday at our Indianapolis school.

A lot of interesting things come into my inbox. I can't write about all of them but this one needed some eyeballs.
Apparently, in March of 2015, a letter was sent from staff board attorney Neal Ramee to Superintendent Grimesey. The topic of this letter was religious prayer in schools, specifically the laws governing participation by staff or coaches in religious activities.
Along with the letter was a survey titled "Staff Prayer Questionnaire". This questionnaire has three sections with a main question and dozens of sub-questions in each section.
The first main question is, "Have you ever participated in or seen any prayers at any MCS athletic practices games or events?".
Sub-questions included, when did it occur, where, for how long and then asks for the survey respondent to get specific:
- "Which students participated in the prayer? (Be as specific as possible.)"
- "Which employees participated in the prayer? (Be as specific as possible.)"
- "What was the content of the prayer? – i.e., what exactly was said?"
Gee, asking about the content of prayers? Channeling our inner Lois Lerner, are we Moore county schools?
This is the number for Alliance Defending Freedom: 1-800-835-5233
I'm posting it just in case any teachers/coaches out there feel their religious freedom is being threatened.
View the survey and letter here:

No not that kind of bulge. For the first time in my life–well since I was twelve–I am not wishing I could lose some weight.
This is the bulge I am battling:
I have a slightly herniate disc in my back. It bulges out just like in the picture and causes sciatica. I was in a car accident when I was twelve. Way back in the '80s we only had lap belts in the back seat. So when we were hit head-on by a drunk driver and plunged down a 15 foot embankment, the top part of my body kept moving forward after the car stopped until the lap belt cause my body to be restrained from my hips down. Essentially what happened was my lumber spine separated between L4 and L5 and tore all sorts of bits of spinal bone off each of these vertebrae. Not a happy lumbar spine. The injury cause a natural fusion of these two joints and I have less mobility here. I always have back pain; sometimes it is better and sometimes it is worse, but starting to run at 40 and then almost immediately going into half marathon training mode really caused it to protest.
Now I didn't know this right away. What I knew was that my hamstring was deeply painful on long runs and continued to be painful with most movement. It took a lot of investigation, an MRI, and a very good Sport Doc to figure out that I have nothing wrong with my hamstring and a lot wrong with my lumbar spine. The simple cure is to stop running, but funny thing, after discovering running I don't want to stop.
I have taken a lot of time off running over the last six month and replaced it with elliptical training and water running. Now that the weather is nice I just started running outside again. It only took a few runs for my thigh to start up with the familiar ache again. So back to the sports doc. I am going to do more physio and massage. Oh and I am not supposed to run. ARRRRGGGGG. The doc pointed out that for a sprint tri ( Swim 750m, Bike 20km, Run 5km) , I really don't need to train for the run because it is so short. Well, okay, I am planning on doing an Olympic length tri (Swim 1500m, Bike 40km, Run 10km) September and I WANT TO RUN!
My body is so much stronger than it was a year ago, but I have this one really weak link. I am reassured that I am doing everything right and that time will make it better. How much time? Time will tell. Thanks a lot! I am doing swimming and biking and core strengthening and cross training and yoga. The doc noted that all of these have made it a lot better than it was last summer, but it is not there yet. Seriously, how much do I have to do????
The positive thing in all this is that this injury has motivated me to do a lot of things I wouldn't have done in order to get rid of it. The doc told me to lose weight and do yoga and join a gym to cross train when I couldn't run. An lo and behold, I have lost weight and discovered I love yoga and joined a fabulous tri training group that has caused me to do all sorts of works outs that I would never have attempted before. I started out mono-focused on running and did nothing else. Now I do many other things that I am really enjoying and I have made some great new friends.
So, while I wish this darn pain would just go away for good and I could head out for a delicious long run on Sunday morning, I am expanding my athletic experience and my fitness goals and having fun along the way. One of my favourite quotes is by J.R.R. Tolkien, All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. I shall decide to bike and swim and do circuits and practice yoga and run just a wee little bit. I will get back to the run–hopefully sooner than later.

8 of the Best New Makeup Products To Perfect Your Skin
Pre-beauty editor era, one of my favourite activities used to be late-night trips to Shoppers Drug Mart to troll the aisles of the makeup section (where I'd inevitably scoop up a dozen or so sweet prodz for a fraction of what you'd pay at a department store). It's like the female Canadian Tire, right? Or Vegas—time kind of stops and you could spend hours in there.
Now, of course, makeup (and every other beauty category known to woman) shows up at my doorstep, so I've had to retire that pastime. But you know what? I still get a little thrill when I come across drugstore things that WORK.
The latest area to impress me is skin-perfecting stuff. Foundation, primer, powder, concealer. Like I keep saying, the beauty brands are getting way smarter—so you no longer need to sacrifice performance, or texture, or skincare benefits, for a cheapo price. I've been testing up a storm and here are eight new-and-notables...
If you... hate wearing foundation
Try... Maybelline New York Dream Nude Airfoam Air-Infused Foundation ($16.99)
This was sitting in my testing pile for ages because truth be told, I got a teensy bit scared of mousse foundations after trying Revlon's. (Sorry, Revlon—yours just goes on way too thick and creamy.) But Maybelline's? OMG so different. Shake well, and be patient with the first couple of pumps, because it spits up plain white mousse at the beginning (or maybe I just didn't shake it enough). Anyway, once you get it going, it dispenses an amazingly light and airy foam that quickly dries down and provides a light, semi-sheer coverage. No need for a brush; you just work it in with your fingers. Buy it from Well.ca—free shipping in Canada with no minimum order!
If you... want to improve your skin tone
Try... CoverGirl & Olay Tone Rehab 2-in-1 Foundation ($13.99)
This foundation is sort of putting itself out of a job. That's because while it covers, it's also working to diminish the discolourations that cause you to need foundation in the first place. Smart, huh? The white swirls are the skincare part (an Olay serum) and the beige is the actual makeup... but when you press the pump, they're all nicely blended together when they come out. The scent is nice and fresh (with that slightly smoky signature Olay niacinamide scent) and the coverage is medium. I found the texture a little slippy, so would avoid if you have oily skin. Oh, and make sure to use a powder with SPF on top, since this doesn't contain any—and one of the most important things you can do for uneven skin tone is to protect yourself from the sun in the first place. Buy it from Well.ca—free shipping in Canada with no minimum order!
If you... need a budget-friendly primer
Try... Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer ($16.95)
I'll be the first to admit that drugstore primers can be hit and miss. Most of them just feel too greasy on me, and so I stick with my department store faves like Shu Uemura, YSL, etc. But I have to say that I really like Revlon's—it might just be the best budget-priced one I've tried. It does feel slick and silicone-ish at first, but give it a second to sink in, and you'll be impressed: your skin suddenly feels very smooth, very matte and just "perfected." You could even wear this on its own with just concealer and powder.
If you... want to look 10 years younger
Try... Physicians Formula Youthful Wear Cosmeceutical Youth-Boosting Foundation SPF 15 ($19.99)
Well, who doesn't want to look 10 years younger, right? Physicians Formula claims you can shave up to a decade off your face when you use this foundation, thanks to its anti-aging cosmeceutical ingredients. There are ceramides and hyaluronic acid (to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles), algae extract (to tone and moisturize) and magnesium silicate and silica microspheres (to blur imperfections while absorbing excess oil). The texture feels like a thick—VERY thick—silicone-esque primer, but isn't greasy at all and melts right into the skin. (In fact, it's probably a better choice for oilier skin types than dry ones.) Only three shades, but the light one was totally fine on me and completely natural-looking. Did I look 10 years younger? I'm not sure, but I love that it contains SPF and basically eliminates the need for a primer altogether!
If you... are looking for a creamy, high-coverage concealer
Try... Bourjois Paris Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer ($19)
As you know, I'm a bit of a concealer aficionado. So I have high standards—and this little number from French brand Bourjois Paris totally impressed me. The first thing you notice is that it smells FRUITY. It's so good, dude. Then you notice that it's so high coverage that the tube will probably last you at least 12 months... a little goes a long, long way. There are three shades, and while you can apply it anywhere you need to cover, it's particularly excellent for brightening the eye area and hiding dark circles. Pro tip: apply with a brush for more precision.
If you... want to clear blemishes while you cover them
Try... Almay Clear Complexion Liquid Makeup ($16.99)
Almay has had this foundation out for a while, but recently updated the packaging (and the formula too, I think). If you struggle with keeping your skin clear, this could be a keeper. It's got 0.6 percent salicylic acid to help fight blemishes while it conceals them, plus soothing licorice extract and aloe so that your skin doesn't get irritated. I was impressed by how it simultaneously gives decent medium coverage without ANY greasiness—the dry-down is completely matte and very natural. You don't even feel like you're wearing makeup!
If you... want SPF protection and a hint of colour
Try... Lise Watier Sun Smart Tinted Universal UV Shield SPF 30 ($38)
Okay, this one's a little pricier than the others, but I'm including because the concept is just so neat. (And it IS a drugstore brand, after all.) Anyone else struggle with the whole bronzing thing in the summer? Especially powder bronzers? I'm a cream type of girl myself, just because I think it looks way more natural, and so this is a product I'll totally reach for. It's a universal tint that gives all but the darkest of skin tones just a hint of a summery tan. Even better: it's got built-in chemical-free sunscreen (titanium dioxide and zinc). So you could put this all over your face and neck and you're killing multiple birds with one stone: colour, sun protection, avoiding The Eagle... how fabulous! The only downside is that the tube is rather small, so if you don't want to go through it all within a couple of weeks, perhaps combine it with an SPF moisturizer underneath.
If you... need a translucent powder alternative
Try... Joe Fresh Translucent Loose Powder ($10)
So I have all kinds of loose, translucent powders. Make Up For Ever, Alison Raffaele, Shu Uemura, It Cosmetics, Stila... they are all great and I use them daily to set my makeup with a domed eyeshadow brush. But how awesome is it that I can add a new one to the rotation—one that's only 10 bucks and has the best packaging of the bunch? Thank you Joe Fresh. When you open up the lid, there's a separate container within the container for the powder, so it doesn't spill everywhere. If only all powders were packaged like this! It's definitely a must for travel or to carry in your purse.
Tell me:
Have you tried any of these sweet skin prodz yet?
What are you currently loving in foundation/primer/powder/concealer?

Like a lot of new ideas, Media Cloud started with a long-running argument among friends. Ethan Zuckerman and a handful of his colleagues at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School found themselves in endless disputes about the mainstream media and newer digital variations. Who sets the agenda? How is public debate shaped? What topics are covered or ignored?
Anecdotes favoring one side or another were as plentiful as pop-ups, but a comprehensive and reliable database that could track the daily rhythm of the news cycle over time and was available for public use didn't exist. So Mr. Zuckerman and others at Berkman decided to create one.
The result is Media Cloud, a system that tracks hundreds of newspapers and thousands of Web sites and blogs, and archives the information in a searchable form. The database, at mediacloud.org, will eventually enable researchers to search for key people, places and events — from Michael Jackson to the Iranian elections — and find out precisely when, where and how frequently they are covered, said Mr. Zuckerman, whose official title is senior researcher, though he acknowledges that a more accurate label would be computer geek and international development specialist. (At the moment only a small sample of Media Cloud's tools are on the public Web site.)
The findings, which can be graphed or mapped, can demonstrate the evolution of a report and variations in coverage. Users get to "do the fun part, which is analyzing the data," Mr. Zuckerman said, "while we do the hard part of this, which is collecting it." Eventually users will be able to compare the top 10 news events covered by Fox News, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the BBC, for example, or chart the terms that appear most frequently in The New York Times, compared with leading blogs, or create a world map showing which countries receive the most media attention, or follow the path of a particular report to see if it dominates the news or dies out.
For the past decade or so, many researchers have used link analysis to figure out how information spreads, said Yochai Benkler, a Harvard Law School professor at Berkman who has been involved in creating Media Cloud. You could identify which Web sites were linked to most frequently and infer whose sites were most influential. But researchers have pretty much squeezed all that they can from that approach, Mr. Benkler said. Although Media Cloud is still in its early stages, it is among "the next generation of tools that actually look at what people are saying," he said, adding, it is "a better microscope."Continue reading the main story
There are other kinds of media trackers. Cornell University researchers, for example, have developed MemeTracker, which maps the daily news cycle by grabbing repeated quotations from one million online sources. (A meme is anything — an idea, a phrase — that spreads by imitation from one person to another.)
Its graphs, which can be viewed at memetracker.org, display the reports that are competing against one another for attention on a given day, as well as those that have staying power or quickly disappear. A recent paper on MemeTracker's experience during the presidential campaign was hailed by experts as a landmark piece of work.
Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism offers a news-coverage index, which is laboriously compiled by having 14 people sample leading reports produced by 55 outlets. Media Cloud is much less exact, Mr. Zuckerman said, but it can automatically scan hundreds, and eventually thousands, of sources.
Amy S. Mitchell, deputy director of Pew's journalism project, said Media Cloud "offers the public a great opportunity to play around with looking at a wide swath of media at more of a surface level." But, she added, it cannot really capture the nuances of the news agenda of the news media. "There are certain things that computer algorithms cannot do that individuals can," she said.
Since every method has virtues and drawbacks, she added, "I think there is tremendous value in having both approaches."
What Media Cloud offers that no one else does is a tool anyone can use to answer all sorts of questions about the media landscape. One topic that Mr. Benkler and Mr. Zuckerman have long been debating is whether the Internet has helped open up the public sphere to more voices, or whether it just serves as an echo chamber, simply repeating information and views that the mainstream media already circulate.
Mr. Benkler is using Media Cloud to test his theory that digital media is widening the circle of voices somewhat. Sites that he characterizes as "one link out" from the most visible (like The Huffington Post, Talking Points Memo and Instapundit) are entering into the conversation, he argues.
Who has the power to place an idea on the national agenda is another question that Mr. Benkler said Media Cloud could help answer. For instance, how is the conversation about the recession and the financial crash shaped? Using some of the database's more specialized tools, Mr. Benkler investigated who first floated the idea for a temporary takeover of the financial system by the government, as was done in Sweden in the 1990s.
Paul Krugman, a columnist for The New York Times, first raised the idea in September 2008, but it was a cluster of influential economic and political bloggers like Brad DeLong and Matthew Yglesias who kept the idea alive. After the subject disappeared for a couple of months, the bloggers then resurrected it early this year as Washington began discussing the details of a bank rescue plan. To Mr. Benkler, this preliminary evidence suggests that the network of public media has given a voice to some people who in the past may have had useful ideas but were, as a practical matter, unable to inject them into the national conversation.
"If you're actually trying to map where an idea starts and how it moves through the public sphere, you need a database like we're developing, with time-stamped data," Mr. Benkler said, explaining that services like Google and Lexis/Nexis are not as comprehensive or do not provide that level of detailed information. Media Cloud also enables more fine-grained analyses by examining language and context. "How does rhetoric change over time, and what's the role of the Internet and the mainstream media in that?" Mr. Zuckerman asked.
Some of his colleagues, for example, have been tracking the frequency of the words bailout and stimulus to pinpoint when one term overtook the other. Media Cloud mapped the results to show how the term bailout, used constantly in the news in the fall, eventually gave way to the word stimulus after President Obama took office. The results were graphed, illustrating precisely when the two lines crossed — where, as Mr. Zuckerman would say, "one meme took over from the other."
Media Cloud's founders have put out an open call on their Web site for research ideas. The system provides a platform, Mr. Zuckerman said, on which others can build using their own kinds of tracking software. The point is to start with facts rather than impressions.
As Mr. Zuckerman noted, a lot of anecdotes don't necessarily add up to the truth.Continue reading the main story

Hey ya'll! It is Thursday, which is my favorite day of the week for obvious reasons. I don't have class on Fridays. Thank god. I deserve it as a fifth year senior! Also Thursday means celebrate. Tonight I'm having homemade enchiladas and some ice cold margaritas. My roommate and I know how to throw down on a Thursday night. Last Thursday night we made vegan chocolate cupcakes – scrumptious!
Anyways today I'm posting about pancakes. Flourless pancakes. Yes, you heard me. No flour. Just two ingredient pancakes. I creep on Pinterest on a regular basis, so I saw this idea a lot on various boards.
This looks absolutely disgusting, I know. When I was first mixing it I was like oh god this is going to be a hot mess. I wasn't even sure if this was going to be edible. I was convinced that it was going to turn into an omelet or something since one of the two ingredients was an egg.
When I poured the batter onto the pan from a 1/4 cup then things started to look. Okay, these somewhat are starting to resemble pancakes. Do they have a weird color? Yes. Do they look super runny? Yes. Are the typical bubbles appearing? YES. That means it is a success, at least in appearance wise. As I was flipping and turning them, the pancakes became soft and browned on each side like a normal pancake does.
One mashed banana and one egg stirred together led to this beautiful plate of fluffiness. Yes, they look like real pancakes. They also tasted like real pancakes. It was incredible. Pinterest definitely knows its stuff when it comes to recipes. I'm glad I have discovered this recipe because I can't wait to turn it into crazy typical Lindsay recipes like my other pancake ones that have flour in them.
1 Banana
1 egg
1. Mash banana into a small mixing bowl until there are no chunks.
2. Add in one egg.
3. Mix well until there is a liquidy smooth consistency.4. Measure out 1/4 c. at at time onto a pan.
5. Wait until the top of the pancake bubbles then flip over until lightly browned on both sides.
6. Serve with whatever toppings you desire (I put bananas, chocolate chips, and syrup on mine).
Seriously this is my new favorite recipe. Probably not, but it is definitely healthy and really easy to make. If you want to make more, you can just double the recipe. Also another healthy option would be to switch out the entire egg and just place in 4 egg whites. I can't wait to get creative in the kitchen with these bad boys.
Sorry for overloading ya'll with pancake photos. I'm just in love with them. It is ridiculous. I actually took about 10 photos of the pancakes, so ya'll are lucky that I'm only showing you this many. I hope ya'll have a fantastic weekend. I know mine is going to be filled with tons of stuff. Tomorrow we are celebrating my cousin's birthday, then Saturday is mother's birthday, and Sunday I have volleyball tryouts for my Maccabi Volleyball team. I'm so excited!
Have ya'll ever had flourless pancakes?
If so, what do you think of them? Any cool recipes using them?

Cabin Counselor
The role of Cabin Counselor is a highly revered position! If you are chosen, you will spend more time with the youth participants than any other volunteers! You and your co-counselor will be responsible for the well-being of the 10 youth in your cabin and you will help shape the positive experiences they have. As a cabin counselor, your role is to supervise youth and facilitate icebreakers, conversation, and fun! During workshops, you'll have the opportunity to take a break or attend workshops. This will be an amazing, sometimes tiring, and ultimately rewarding volunteer role! If you have lots of energy, enjoy both group and one-on-one time with participants and have worked with youth before, this could be the role for you!
Entertainment Troupe
Take out those boas and break out that kazoo! The Entertainment Troupe has one responsibility— engaging youth participants in fun and creative activities! The Entertainment troupe will primarily be facilitating and hosting evening activities. Activities can range from dance parties and drag shows to games like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" to skits and songs. The Entertainment Troupe will be staying in the "Log House" (volunteer cabin) and will have time to attend workshops and activities during the day. If you have that energetic and creative juice, this might be the role for you!
We're looking for a few tough individuals to act as camp rangers! As a ranger, you'll have an important role in making sure the camp runs smoothly and safely. Rangers will "patrol" in the evening to make sure youth are honoring our safe space guidelines. Rangers will also chop wood for the campfires, lead hikes, and help youth roast marshmallows! Rangers will stay in the "Log House" (Volunteer Cabin) and have opportunities to attend workshops and activities. Plus, you get to wear an awesome ranger hat!
Unit Leader
Unit leaders will supervise a village of cabin counselors. You will act as a support system for cabin counselors, facilitating daily check ins and occasionally working with the Counselors In Training (CITs). Being a unit leader is a tough and rewarding job. We are looking for highly organized volunteers, who have a strong skill set in interpersonal and non-violent communication. Unit leaders, must be a returning volunteer. If you have been told you are easy to talk to, a good problem solver, and a great multi-tasker this may be the role for you.
Camp Nurse
Get out those band-aids and hydrate those campers! We are looking for a qualified Camp Nurse to tend to those bumps and bruises and pesky headaches. The Camp Nurse will have the responsibility of tending to the medical needs of youth and handing out medications to youth. We are looking for a volunteer that is licensed to practice medicine as a nurse or doctor in the state of Arizona.

After going through my recent break up with my boyfriend of two years, I've been having an extremely difficult time. I was having a hard time before that but it sort of made everything worse. Being a super sensitive person, I'm more susceptible to crying and getting angry easier right now. It's okay because the break up was mutual, and we realized that we argued a lot and that we'd be better off as friends, but it doesn't change the fact that I feel a little lost at the moment. He was the only person I felt comfortable around physically, I wasn't worried about my looks very much, I was happy with myself. And now I feel scrutinized by the public since I'm single, and more judged as a prospect than a person. This is a normal feeling of insecurity after a break up, and I know it will pass, but for right now it's pretty uncomfortable for me. It makes me more anxious, and I'm trying to compensate by throwing myself into my school work.
However, since we aren't together, this year will be a good year to explore more experiences and travel more. Visit more places, focus on school, go to more events. I'll also figure out who I am as a person too, along the way. I'm currently trying to make friends but it's a little difficult to put yourself out there, when no one wants to receive attention. All I know is that I won't be with someone for a little while to heal from the sting, and to focus on self care a lot more than I have in the past. Mentally, I haven't been taking very good care of myself and it's been taking a toll on me so hopefully these changes turn into something great. I have good things ahead, I have a beginning of a savings for a car, I'll finally meet Blue October, and I plan on trying to work out more in the summer (hold me to that). Regardless, like David Bowie sang: time may change me, but I can't trace time.

We drove to Canada on Thursday, June 21st. We traveled the whole way in one day and the lil' kiddies did GREAT! Hooray for happy little travelers! The first night in Canada we went fishing at Romeril's Lake. I don't have pics from that night. Sometimes I like to leave the camera behind and just enjoy the moment!
On Friday afternoon Jim woke up and went golfing with his dad. I woke up and got the kids and myself ready, and we went over to Cammi's (Jim's sister lives just down the road from Ross and Judy). We played with Cammi and Baby Zayah until the boys came home from golfing. After that we went up to the Mountain View cemetary. Ross informed Jim and Cammi that they had a bit of a gopher problem up there, so he told them to go take care of it. I'll just leave it at that!!!
We were also able to see Jim's name sake's (his great-grandfather) gravestone as well as Jim's grandpa Mervyn Owen Jacobs' (Hunter Owen's name-sake) resting place. That was nice.
|Old Chief mountain as seen from Mountain View Cemetary
|James Sabey and Eva Jacobs' place of rest
|Mervyn Owen Jacobs place of rest
|Sometimes this girl does the most fantastic poses!
|Both of my kiddies LOVED their cousin Baby Zayah. They never called her Zayah. It was alwasy Baby Zayah! That's her official name in this house!
|Making her mama proud! Cammi is really handy with a gun. I have a feeling Zayah will be as well.
After our visit in the cemetary we stopped by Grammy Jacobs' house for a game of crib. It was Cammi and me against Grammy and Jim. Cammi and I SKUNKED Jim and won the tournament until Grammy pulled out the ol' "let's play one last game; WINNER TAKES ALL" trick. Grammy ALWAYS wins at winner takes all!! Cammi and I should have known, but you can't really say no to Grammy, so I guess you could say we let Jim and Grammy win. :)
|Grammy Jacobs. All time crib champ!!
|Playing crib at Grammy's. A trip to Canada isn't complete without a game of crib at Grammy's.
Friday night was a roast by the fire. We roasted the usual, and visited together. After dinner we played some more crib, golf, and poker.
|Ross tending the fire. He also did an amazing rendition of "He-Man -- Master of the Universe" for Tralee this night! I'm not sure Tralee loved it, as she wanted to play princess, but Jim and I sure thought it was hilarious!
|Cooking dinner over the firepit. See the church in the background? That's were Jim mostly went on Sunday growing up, some summers they drove into Waterton for church.
Our Canada trip was off to a lovely start!
