There's a storm brewing on the mountain bike horizon, and it's electrically charged.
The Bomber by Stealth Electric Bikes has 4500 watts – or six horsepower – of peak power
Imagine climbing your favorite single track trail all alone deep in the wilderness; heart beat pounding in your ears, legs churning out a steady, powerful cadence and sweat rolling down your face in buckets. As you approach the final rocky, root-filled ascent that demands every last thread of energy, someone from behind casually calls out in a conversational tone, "excuse me", and effortlessly zips up the brutal section of trail on a 50-pound big-hit downhill mountain bike while snacking on an energy bar.
It might sound completely absurd, but this exact scenario may soon start playing out on trails worldwide thanks to the increasing use of electric mountain bikes. And a lot of hard advocacy work could be for naught.
Watch the Stealth Electric Bikes Bomber in action:
After decades of being lumped together with dirt bikes as motorized vehicles, mountain bikes finally emerged from shadow of dirt bikes, gaining expanded trail access thanks to the tireless efforts of the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), local clubs and trail access advocates worldwide. A terrific example of this progress was the recent announcement by the National Park Service, dramatically expanding mountain bike access in more than 40 properties nationwide; something that was completely forbidden until only a few years ago.

But after a 25-year struggle to gain a voice with land managers and policy makers in Washington, D.C. for trail access rights, the growing popularity of electric bicycles could put mountain bikers back in the same precarious situation they've worked so hard to emerge from.
"We recognize the benefits of e-bikes, yet also recognize that this type bike creates many added challenges for land managers and for IMBA's approach to mitigating the impacts of bicycling in natural environments," wrote Mike Van Abel, president of IMBA, on his blog. IMBA has also formally said they do not believe electric mountain bikes should be treated the same as human-powered mountain bikes, and have published a Motorized/Non-motorized Position Statement.
"We vetted our draft position through many other mountain bike advocacy leaders and groups from throughout the world," added Van Abel. "Most agreed, as did IMBA's board, that mountain biking should remain a non-motorized activity. Therefore, we conclude that riding e-bikes on natural-surface trails is not mountain biking. Further, we state that e-bike regulation for off-road travel should fall under motorized land management policies and rules."
The Outlaw SS by Prodeco has peak power of 1200 watts and a 28 mph top speed
Simply looking at the advertisements for some of these powerful electric mountain bikes is cause for concern. Take the Outlaw SS by Prodeco Technologies. The Prodeco website says the Outlaw is "the first muscle e-bike", encouraging you to "dispose of your motorcycle and climb aboard an Outlaw SS today", adding that the Outlaw is "created to break the rules." And break the rules it does. With a 28 mph top speed and 1200-watt peak power, the Outlaw SS exceeds current Federal e-bike regulations of 20 mph top speed and 750-watt peak power.

Artwork by Cameron University students Ashley Brown, Manda Shae Dickinson and Amanda Lenhardt has been accepted for Biting the Apple 2014: Man Made, sponsored by Individual Artists of Oklahoma. The art exhibit is part of IAO's annual erotic arts show which includes live musical entertainment. Biting the Apple 2014 takes place from May 2-3 at IAO, located at 706 W. Sheridan in Oklahoma City.
Brown, Dickinson and Lenhardt submitted works in keeping with the show's 2014 theme: Man Made. According to IAO, the theme showcases not only the male but also the ideas, roles, augmentations, formations and expectations man can create. All created their submissions during printmaking or watercolor classes with Katherine Liontas-Warren, professor of art.
"It is always gratifying when artwork created by Cameron students is accepted for exhibition," says Liontas-Warren. "Biting The Apple provides an outlet for provocative artwork that may not be suitable for some mainstream exhibitions. In creating art appropriate for this type of exhibit, our students must learn to apply critical thinking skills to their creativity to ensure the end result is art that is worthy of exhibition, purchase and review."

August is School Preparedness Month in
IEMA encourages parents to include
emergency preparedness in back-to-school plans
Send a link to a friend
[August 07, 2014]
– School bells soon will be ringing as students across the state
begin the new school year. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency
(IEMA) is joining with local emergency management agencies
throughout Illinois during August to encourage families to include
emergency preparedness in their back-to-school plans.
"No one likes to think about the possibility of an emergency
happening while children are in school or at daycare," said IEMA
Director Jonathon Monken. "But as we saw with the May 2013 tornadoes
in Moore, Oklahoma and other incidents, it can happen. A few minutes
of your time now can help you and your child deal with emergencies
that may occur during the school day."
Monken offered several back-to-school planning tips for parents of
school-aged children, including:
Know your child's school or day care emergency plan.
Find out where children will be taken in the event of an evacuation
during school hours.
Ensure your emergency contact information is up-to-date at your
child's school.
Pre-authorize a friend or relative to pick up your children in an
emergency and make sure the school knows who that designated person
Have a family communications plan and review the plan periodically
with your child. The plan should include contact information for an
out-of-area family member or friend, since local telephone networks
may not work during a major disaster.
[to top of second column]
Many college campuses offer email and text messages to alert
students of potential dangers, such as severe weather and other
threats. Encourage your college student to sign-up for such
alerts. Some colleges also provide alert messages for parents so
they also are aware of potential dangers at their child's

Frankie Ballard
The best music is about connection, that place where words and music allow an artist's reality to fire real emotion in listeners. And it's just that connection that has been at the heart of Frankie Ballard's rise as an artist.
"I see people relating to the words of these songs," he says, "using the lyrics to reflect on their own lives."
Nowhere has that been more evident than in Ballard's breakthrough #1 hit, "Helluva Life." Fans are owning every line as they sing it back in concert and use social media to share their own stories of good times and bad, and the way romance puts a shine on all of it. As they sometimes do, the song's maxim that "bad times make the good times better" has become a rallying cry and a life-affirming motto.
It also rings true to the life Ballard himself has been living.
"I've been slugging it out on the road for a long, long time," he says with a characteristic smile, "and it's great when I'm far from home to have people out there know who I am and to feel like we've created a real bond."
"Helluva Life" is the opener from Sunshine & Whiskey, an album that announces Ballard as one of the genre's most nuanced singers and writers, someone whose long road history and wide musical taste add substance to his obvious surface appeal. He first hit the public spotlight with two Top 30 singles, "Tell Me You Get Lonely" and "A Buncha Girls," appearing on the Grand Ole Opry and playing packed arenas opening for Kenny Chesney and on major tours with Taylor Swift and longtime idol Bob Seger. But he took a different musical approach for Sunshine & Whiskey.
"I'm really proud of this album," he says. "It's got songs that really mean something to me and I knew they would mean something to other people. It's got lots of different emotions, from partying and having fun to some really deep stuff. It's an emotional journey as well as a musical journey."
The fun side includes "Whiskey" and "Drinky Drink," about which Ballard says, "I've been making music for a living for about ten years now and I've found myself in a bit of trouble from time to time. The two things that always put me there—women… and whiskey." "Don't You Wanna Fall" is about a singer, "a high-wire act without a net," with a woman he wants off the pedestal he's put her on. "He's saying, 'Come down here to my level where it's real,'" Ballard says. At the deep end is "Don't Tell Mama I Was Drinking," a song that hearkens to the stories of tragedy and despair that were once a country mainstay--"It sounds like something Waylon Jennings would cut," he says.
That diversity is a key component of the record.
"My approach was to pick great songs," he adds, "whether or not I thought they fit any trends. Some are old school, some are new school, but if it moved me, I'd record it. People are going to be able to sink their teeth into this from track one all the way down to track eleven."
The album also revisits two songs from his earlier recordings--"Tell Me You Get Lonely," which he calls "a song people identify with me that we're including as a bonus," and "Sober Me Up, "a favorite song of mine that I felt slipped through the cracks."
In fact, it was those earlier recordings that led Ballard to his re-energized approach to writing and recording Sunshine & Whiskey. What had been missing, he realized, was a blue-collar sense of crafting his own product from the bottom up, of putting his stamp on every step of the process. He decided to retool, looking for a like-minded producer, and his search led to Altman, whose work with "bayou soul" singer Marc Broussard he was particularly fond of.
"I wanted to get somebody who would let me get my hands on the music," he says. "I wanted to let it grow organically, to build tracks an instrument at a time and play a bunch on the record. And Marshall and I found a connection. He loves to work and to experiment."
The pair would get together for late-night sessions Ballard describes as "freeing. I was making music that was coming from deep within me. If I didn't like something, we'd change it, and if we liked something, we'd chase it and try to get it perfect. It was an unbelievably cool experience."
The excitement translated easily to his team.
"I knew and the label believed I was making music that mattered," he says. In fact, legendary producer and label exec Scott Hendricks (Trace Adkins, Blake Shelton, Brooks & Dunn) signed on as co-producer, providing additional direction.
The album, Ballard says, "represents the beginning of what people will call my sound." It's a mixture of influences, from country classics to blues legends, from Southern rock to contemporary sounds, all held together by the force of his artistic personality. Like heroes including Willie Nelson and Hank Jr., he makes everything he touches his own, a result, more than anything, of a decade of honing his craft on stages all over the country.
"This music was born on the road," he says. "I'm the product of going out and making it happen, finding out what works. My influences fall everywhere from Bob Seger to Howlin' Wolf to Jerry Reed, and through the years it's all come together in my songwriting and playing. People who listen are going to hear me from top to bottom."
They will hear his background in every note. He's a product of Battle Creek, Michigan, a working-class town where he grew up "loving Elvis and Johnny Horton." Sports-obsessed as a kid, he played baseball at Western Michigan University, while he gradually turned a minor interest in music into his main passion. He studied guitarists, including blues great Buddy Guy, locking himself away until he could excel at the instrument. He began playing open mic nights and played drums in a band. By the time he was out of college, he was leading his own band, playing 200+ nights a year within a 300-mile radius and taking trips to Nashville once-a-month.
Through it all, he has never lost his love for doing what he does best--taking his music to the people.
"My bread and butter is playing live," he says. "The band and I really hammer the road and I don't want to slow down. We give everything we've got to put on a heck of a show. And the best is when the connection comes through one of your songs. To watch someone sing your song at the top of their lungs because they've been through the same thing, well, that means as much to a performer as it does to a fan, and that's what keeps me going. I'm always trying to push myself to the next level with my stage performance. The fans deserve something great."
Capturing the essence of his energetic stage shows, Sunshine & Whiskey represents the perfect re-emergence for a singer whose journey reflects all of life's ups and downs.
"Sometimes it's just busting your butt--at least that's what my journey has been. I want people to go, 'This guy knows where I've been.'"
Night after night, show after show, that's just the connection Frankie Ballard is making.

It is perhaps fitting that a convention center inspired by one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World has been selected by a national business magazine as one of the seven best convention centers in the United States.
The Phoenix Convention Center comes in at No. 7 on a list of the "Top Ten U.S. Convention Centers" in the April issue of Business Review USA.
The article ranks the "best of the best" among the nation's "modern, immense and historically rich convention centers." Its assessment of the Phoenix Convention Center states:
Downtown Phoenix's convention center is a true multi-functional space. It hosts everything from national and regional conventions to consumer events and theatrical productions, and has attracted increasing amounts of tourism and financial support to the city since it opened in 1972. A recent expansion tripled the center's size and further enhanced its regional aesthetics.
Five years and $650 million in the making, the expanded Phoenix Convention Center welcomed its first meeting groups in January 2009. Its architecture—dramatic angles, towering glass, earthy stone—is inspired by the colors and textures of the Grand Canyon, and its nearly 900,000 square feet of flexible exhibition and meeting space can accommodate more than 80 percent of the conventions in the U.S.
Since the debut of the fully expanded center, it has hosted nearly 800,000 delegates and generated more than $1 billion in direct spending for Phoenix's regional economy.
The new convention center's presence has helped the city host the Super Bowl, NBA All-Star Weekend, and Major League Baseball's All-Star Game. Large conventions that have met at the center include the National Rifle Association's Annual Meeting and Exhibits, the VFW Annual National Convention, the U.S. Green Building Council Annual Conference and Expo, the Benevolent & Protective Order of the Elks Annual Meeting, and the General Council of the Assemblies of God.
"The new convention center has been a game changer for Phoenix in the truest sense," said Steve Moore, president and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Its size has allowed us to pursue business we simply couldn't accommodate before, and its beauty and practicality have made that business want to come back."
Included within the Phoenix Convention Center's striking environs are three ballrooms (two at street level), 99 meeting rooms, an IACC-certified Executive Conference Center and $3.2 million worth of public art.
Thoughtful touches include air-conditioned loading bays, exhibit halls with pre-scored floors, an adjoining performance hall that seats 2,400, and outdoor meeting areas that capitalize on Phoenix's sunny weather. The convention center's catering staff can feed 360 people every eight minutes, and its bright and airy food court features five themed eateries.
The article in Business Review USA's digital issue includes a video that highlights the Phoenix Convention Center's green features. The campus' newest buildings were designed with energy efficiency in mind, and its sustainability program encompasses recycling, solar power and water harvesting. The convention center's commitment to environmental sensibility helped the conference center earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

What role do you see for computer applications in a few years from now?
Because the average user spends most of their time using a computer, browsing the web, everything is becoming web based and there is practically no need for other software, unless you are some kind of a creator (filmmaker, designer, developer, etc), it seems to me that non-web programmers are becoming less and less useful and needed.
Is it just me, or do you also think that the world of computer application programming is soon going to die?
Would love to see your opinions on this,

Good Read
The story is wonderfully written in journal format by an intelligent, transparent, and witty seventeen year-old character. Cassandra writes from a once abandoned and crumbling English castle, which is now home to her impoverished and highly quirky family.
I was particularly entertained by the melodramatic and humorous musings peppered throughout the book.
Another great luxury is letting myself cry -- I always feel marvelously peaceful after that. But it is difficult to arrange times for it, as my face takes so long to recover ...
While written sixty years ago and set in the 30's, this composition reads remarkably modern. It is fantastically peculiar and yet causes surprising introspection. The author seems to write from a secular perspective and then dances with some rather touching thoughts on God and the establishment of church. I like authors who can whip up a dish that merge flavors of sweet, cynical, honest, and funny ingredients.
Since I had such fun with this library find, I thought I'd patron ebay and purchase an old copy. (Old books are indeed so much more fun than new!) Well mercy me, the old copies were selling for 100-450 dollars! Perhaps I will simply content myself with an eight dollar reprint after all...

I bought it because Dodie Smith also wrote "The 101 Dalmations"... one of the sweetest books I have ever read. wow... It moves off the shelf onto the bedside table. Move over Sudoku.

Yes, I hadn't know she was the 101 Dalmations author until recently!
Move over Sudoku, is right! Original printing step on up. Very exciting!
I reserved this at the library today. Can't wait to read it. Thanks for the review.ReplyDelete
oh I love this book! Dodie Smith wrote some other fun novels too - can't recall their titles. I think it's time to re-read. . .ReplyDelete

Nvidia announced its new Project Shield gaming console at CES this week but the handheld system may not be as "disruptive" as we think.
Nvidia announced its new Project Shield handheld gaming console at CES this week.
The unit doubles as an Android gaming device and a unit capable of streaming your Steam catalog (within range of your WiFi) straight to its 5-inch, 720P multi-touch display.
Carol Pinchefsky thinks this might be the innovation that steals the Wii U's thunder.
But the PC streaming has an important and much-overlooked footnote: it will be available only for a select few PCs.
If you own any fairly new Nvidia-branded GPU, you'll be able " to wirelessly access your GeForce® GTX-powered computer from the comfort of your couch. Play your favorite PC games, including great titles from Steam, on a full-size game controller with ultra-low latency thanks to Project SHIELD's game-speed Wi-Fi and the fast performance of GeForce GTX 600 GPUs" according to the Project Shield website.
If you don't have the proper card, you'll still be able to play Android games.
Which means I'll have to reiterate some quibbles I had with the Ouya---a $99 console set to revolutionize gaming by ushering in an era of free-to-play mobile games for your TV.
For one thing, mobile games are typically designed for small screens. What works on a mobile phone or even a tablet may not translate to a 60" HD TV. Some may, and it's possible that more and more developers will begin developing games designed for big screens, but that's a gamble.
Of course, the Shield doesn't just output (via HDMI) to your big screen TV, so those mobile games may fit better on its screen than they do with the Ouya. Then again, why would I need the Shield if I already own an Android phone or tablet if not to output to the TV? Of course, there are other considerations.
Come On, Come On, Come On Now Touch Me Babe
Mobile touch-screen games are not often designed for a controller, so a great many will need to be retrofitted to work on the Ouya or to make use of the Shield controller. True, a controller makes many games better, which is why I enjoy playing on a 3DS or the Vita (both of which integrate touch-screen gaming with more traditional controls) more than on my phone.
But given the massive install base for Android on touch-only devices it will take some big incentives to port these titles to a new control scheme for the handful of Android devices that are attempting to integrate more traditional controllers into the mix. Maybe that hurdle is not as high as it sounds, and more than just shovelware will make its way to these devices. We'll know soon enough.
I don't think there will be a lack of content on Ouya or Shield---I do suspect, however, that there will be a lack of good, compelling and system-selling content, or that most Android games will make the big leap en masse to non-traditional systems.
For hardcore PC gamers, the Nvidia Shield may be a great buy one way or another, especially if you already own a contemporary Nvidia GPU. For my part, I can see some advantages being able to stream Dark Souls from my Steam account straight to my TV without having to lug the rig across the room or have a PC case sitting in my entertainment center.
Then again, with the Steambox around the corner, I'm not sure I'd have a huge reason to get a handheld like the Shield. If there was a mechanism which allowed me to utilize the Shield as a second local screen I might change my mind. Being able to play local co-op or competitive multiplayer on my PC and TV from one game account would be excellent.
Free To Play, But Not Really
I think the thing that bothers me most about this rush toward Android, however, is both my experience with the offerings in the Google Play store (when it comes to games at least) and my distaste of Free-to-Play as a business model (9 times out of 10.)
The Ouya made a big deal out of this, championing the "all games will be free (mostly)" line during its Kickstarter campaign. Of course, Free-to-Play (F2P) is a misnomer or nobody would be in the business to begin with. For free games to generate revenue, they must adopt some form of paywall or pay-as-you-go scheme. Freemium content vis-a-vis a "gem store" or some other garden wall creates games that feel like endless demos. The few games to get the formula right are few and far between---and no Dota 2 model has yet appeared on mobile devices.
Unlike the Ouya, Nvidia plans to make money purely off of hardware sales rather than taking a cut of the software sales. That's admirable, but not necessarily surprising. Nvidia is a hardware company first and foremost. Still, this means that the Shield will be more expensive than one subsidized by the promise of fat cuts from app sales.
To truly take advantage of the Shield by using it as a PC streaming device, you'll need at the very least a GTX 650 or better, which could mean another $100 or so on top of the purchase if you need to upgrade (or more if you need to buy an entirely new laptop or desktop PC.) Over time it will be more likely that more people have these installed already, but initially the Shield may only appeal to a small slice of the gaming public.
Android Is Already Fractured
Finally, this strikes me as yet another crack in an already highly-fractured Android market. The Ouya, the various "gaming-specific" Android handhelds, the Shield---these all promise fundamentally different gaming experiences utilizing the same operating system.
With the market already highly fractured among mobile phone users (with a very small slice of the Android user-base utilizing the latest version of the OS) this presents a problem for developers and consumers alike.
This is why iOS has an edge in the mobile market when it comes to quality game design.
This is why TellTale Games developed The Walking Dead for iOS but not Android, and why developers for iPhone and iPad can say, without too much risk, that a game is compatible with newer Apple devices only; after all, over 60% of iOS device owners are using the latest version of Apple's operating system, compared to the 9% of Android users who are using Jelly Bean.
Maybe all of these devices will be successful in their own right. But for a console to be truly successful a large install base is necessary. This is still true with Android-based devices that don't fit the mobile-touchscreen model. Tech bloggers love to throw around the term "disruptive" whenever a new piece of hardware floats across the stage.
Sometimes we really do see something disrupt the status quo---Apple has a strong track record in this department.
Most innovations, however, are not as disruptive as we'd like to think.

GLENDORA – The San Dimas High School football team's season has already been one of the roller-coaster variety.
And it's only one game in.
The Saints lost a 23-point lead but converted a Bonita fumble into the go-ahead touchdown with two minutes remaining in a 37-36 win over their bitter rival Thursday night at Citrus College.
San Dimas running back Jake Payton collected 126 yards and three touchdowns on his first 10 carries, including a 30-yard scoring run on the first play of the second quarter to give the Saints a 23-0 lead.
But Bonita scored on its next five possessions to take a 36-30 lead with 10 minutes left in the game. The San Dimas offense, which outgained Bonita 153 yards to 41 in the first quarter, went stagnant while Bonita heated up, thanks to the trio of quarterback Tanner Diebold, receiver Victor Magallanes and running back Reggie Turner.
Turner caught one touchdown and ran for another, while Diebold connected with Magallanes on scoring passes of 42 and 17 yards.
The Bonita defense had all but taken over the game when the Bearcats stopped San Dimas on fourth-and-1 on the Bearcats 15-yard line protecting a 36-30 lead with 2:53 left in the game.
Bonita fumbled the ball back to the Saints on the next play.
Three plays later San Dimas regained the lead when Andrew Espinoza stretched inside the pylon to complete an 8-yard touchdown run with two minutes to play.
Thanks to the final catch by Magallanes, who finished with five receptions for 116 yards, Bonita attempted a 49-yard field goal with 1:29 left in the game but it came up short.
San Dimas breathed a sigh of relief it never imagined it would have just three quarters earlier.
In fact, the Saints scored even before their first offensive possession, earning a safety on Bonita's first punt attempt. The snap sailed over the punter's head and was kicked out of the back of the end zone less than a minute into the game.
San Dimas then proceeded to score touchdowns on its next four possessions, thanks in large part to Payton.
By halftime, however, Bonita had scored three of its five consecutive touchdowns.
The Bearcats got on the board with a 74-yard drive, fueled by a 26-yard catch from Magallanes and finished off with a 15-yard run by Turner.
San Dimas quickly restored its 23-point lead after converting a fourth-and-inches from its own 30-yard line during an 80-yard scoring drive.
Bonita managed a pair of touchdowns in the final 4:36 of the first half, beginning with a 42-yard touchdown reception by Magallanes. The Bearcats had to drive just 29 yards on their next possession after an errant San Dimas punt with 2:25 to play. Turner did the honors with 55 seconds left in the second quarter, taking a swing pass eight yards for a touchdown to cut the San Dimas lead to 30-22.
Bonita didn't lost any momentum during halftime as the Bearcats converted a San Dimas turnover on downs into a 10-play touchdown drive that was extended by a roughing the kicker penalty on a 37-yard attempt that missed.
Magallanes punctuated the drive with his second touchdown reception of the night.
After San Dimas scored on its first four possessions, Bonita surpassed the feat with its ensuing touchdown that made it five consecutive times the Bearcats found the end zone. Turner left the game with leg cramps during the drive, but Bonita sophomore Angel Verdugo filled in admirably with a four carries for 47 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown plunge with 10:03 to play in the game to give Bonita it's first lead of the night, 36-30.

billy219 needed a new banner ad design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 13 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
I am a Health Safety and Environment Manager on a large scale construction job; the Thiess/Decmil Pty Ltd/Kentz Pty Ltd Joint Venture (TDKJV); contracted to design and construct an accommodation construction village on Barrow Island for Chevron Australia.
I always look at different ways of "selling" safety to the workforce and use the principles of Coke-Cola and McDonalds and how they sell to the public. These companies are successful in getting recognised and this is my aim for Safety - get it noticed, make it so the workers want to do it and make it fun or enjoyable to do the "right thing" instead of a chore. The project I am on has a good culture of communication and interaction but Health Safety and Environmental (HSE) messages are dull and boring and I need to provide something different to lighten the message to get it understood and people wanting to do the right thing.
My target audience is mostly male. They range in age from 19/20 to 60 with the average age group in the "Gen Y" section ie 19 to 38. We have the macho persons, the ones who need to be led to do a job; ones who like to sit back & wait; the ones who make a song and dance about everything, the quiet achievers & the leaders.
The market is the tried and true construction workers. Some have never worked in the heavy commercial construction before and these people find it hard to relate to what is happening. The older hands tend to take it all for granted & switch off.
The project we are working on is on a world class environmental and nature reserve with many species found nowhere else on earth. We have a workforce of around 400 who work on a roster of 26 days on and 9 days off. There is nothing to do on the island so boredom sets in and complacency takes over.
I need to get these people focused and wanting to remain focused with a theme or idea or something they can relate to. I need them to look at a picture or poster & relate to it. I need them to remember and want to be like the poster person/cartoon/image.
I would like to have a series/set/number of posters displaying safety messages designed for three levels of people, employees (everyone), supervisors & managers. I have attached files to describe some ideas of the messages to be used as a base.
For the posters I need the message to get people to want to;
- do the right thing,
- communicate
- wear their PPE,
- follow the rules,
- not take shortcuts,
- watch out for their mates,
- help each other,
- not get in the line of fire,
- don't stand under loads,
- watch where they are walking & where they are putting their feet so they don't trip over,
- watch & think about how they lift things or bend down to lift,
- use the right tools the right way,
- look before they move - above & around,
- look for what will hurt them,
- think about the second level of risk,
- reporting injuries &
- standing up to accept accountability and responsibility ,
There is a document attached which describes "Our Safety Culture Framework" with different colours for different levels of employee. If these colours can be used or matched to the level, green - everyone, blue - supervisors & orange - managers to also provide the message to the different traget groups
I had thought of using the "Family Guy" theme or something along the lines of a cartoon character as the messenger
Please help and see what we can achieve.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Congress may have enacted and President Barack Obama may have signed the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military, but the policy is still thrashing around the legal waters like a lobster that can't quite back out of a trap.
Meanwhile, the policy is being enforced in the services as the administration and the Pentagon try to take it slow on repeal.
"Don't ask, don't tell" allows gays to serve in the military as long as they do so covertly. If they openly declare their homosexual orientation, they can be discharged -- though for now the discharge has to be approved first by senior service officials, not commanding officers.
One conservative group that acts as an advocate for gay rights, the Log Cabin Republicans, filed an initially successful constitutional challenge to "don't ask, don't tell" in federal court in San Francisco in 2004. But the group had praise for Obama and the administration with the repeal's enactment.
Obama signed the legislation repealing the policy Dec. 22, saying, "We are not a nation that says 'don't ask, don't tell,' we are a nation that says 'out of many, one.' We are a nation that believes all men and women are created equal."
The president told military gays and lesbians, "As the first generation to serve openly, you will stand for all of those who came before you and you will serve as role models" for those who follow.
But Obama's signing ceremony didn't mean the repeal would be implemented immediately, only that the lengthy process of repealing the policy would begin.
The Log Cabin Republicans immediately issued a statement praising the repeal but vowing to continue its lawsuit against the ongoing policy. SCOTUSBLOG.com reported last week on the twists and turns on the policy, which for the moment refuses to die.
Log Cabin Republican Executive Director R. Clarke Cooper, a combat veteran and an Army Reserve captain, attended the signing ceremony. He issued a statement saying, "It was an honor to witness the culmination of decades of work by service members, their friends and allies in the fight for open service." He noted Republican support for the legislation, but added, "As long as service members still face the threat of discharge, Log Cabin Republicans will continue our fight in court to protect the fundamental constitutional rights of our men and women in uniform. President Obama today promised that implementation would move 'swiftly,' and Log Cabin plans to hold him to that promise."
The next day, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates told gays and lesbians in uniform they should comply with the "don't ask, don't tell" law while it's still in effect, suggesting the implementation of the repeal may take some time. So far, no one has said how much time.
By last Monday, Log Cabin Republicans had issued a new statement headlined "Obama Department of Justice Up to Old Tricks in New Year."
The group was responding to a Justice Department filing in the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals asking the appeals court to delay hearing the government appeal of the Log Cabin Republican constitutional challenge indefinitely. In addition, the group said, the Pentagon was still enforcing the policy and the Justice Department was still defending it.
"Passage of the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal Act of 2010 was an important step toward open service, but until open service is a reality, our legal battle remains necessary," Cooper said in a new statement.
The lead attorney for the group in the challenge, Log Cabin Republicans vs. USA, said despite the assurances from Obama and the White House for a quick implementation, "the Department of Justice has continued to throw up roadblocks."
Log Cabin attorney Dan Woods added: "I reached out to my counterparts at the Department of Justice and offered to accept a stay (in the appeal) if the government would agree to immediately end all discharges under 'don't ask, don't tell.' The Obama administration refused, and insists on continuing its enforcement of a policy that has been rejected by Congress, the military and the American people. We are left with no choice but to continue our challenge to this failed and unconstitutional policy."
Besides the delay in the repeal's implementation, what has focused the ire of the Log Cabin Republicans is a motion filed in the appeals court late last month by the Justice Department asking for a delay of 90 days in the case.
The motion asks the appeals court "to suspend the briefing schedule and to hold these appeals in abeyance in light of the enactment of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010."
Lyle Denniston, Supreme Court press room dean emeritus, reports on SCOTUSBLOG.com the government's brief is due at the appeals court Jan. 24, the Log Cabin Republicans response brief by Feb. 22, and the government's reply by March 8 -- unless the delay is granted and the briefing scheduled is suspended.
The government's filing points out, "Section 2(f) of the Repeal Act provides that ... the repeal 'shall take effect 60 days after the date' on which the president transmits to Congress a certification by the president, the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that a number of requirements have been met. In light of this newly enacted legislation, suspension of the briefing schedule in this case and an order holding the appeals in abeyance is appropriate pending the certification process and effective date of the statute. If the court grants this relief, the government will advise the court within 90 days as to the status of the certification process set forth in the Repeal Act."
In other words, implementation of the repeal probably won't be in place in 90 days, but the Justice Department is promising to tell the appeals court by then what progress has been made.
In the suit brought by the Long Cabin Republicans -- which claims the "don't ask, don't tell" policy is facially invalid because the regulations violate the First Amendment, due process and equal protection guarantees of the U.S. Constitution -- a federal judge held that the policy is unconstitutional and issued a "permanent worldwide injunction" against its enforcement.
While Gates issued orders that no service member should be discharged without the approval of the secretary of the service involved, the government asked for a stay of the injunction and filed an appeal.
A 9th Circuit appeals court panel granted the stay by a vote of 2-1, citing the government's contention that immediately giving the injunction worldwide effect would "seriously disrupt ongoing and determined efforts by the administration to devise an orderly change of policy," the contention successfully changing the policy "will require ... the preparation of orderly policies and regulations to make the transition" and "a precipitous implementation of the district court's ruling will result in 'immediate harm' and 'irreparable injury' to the military."
The panel said it "relied upon the government's determination that 'a successful and orderly change ... will not only require new policies, but proper training and the guidance of those affected by the change."

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - An investigation into a driveby shooting Wednesday landed one person behind bars and lead to the shooting death of a dog.
Topeka Police officers responded around 2 pm Wednesday to reports of two cars exchanging gunfire near SW 17th and Western, near the Kansas Expocentre. Police found about 10 shell casings in the area.
While looking for suspects and the vehicles, Lt. Ron Gish says four officers were charged by an 80-pound dog in the 1600 block of SW Polk. Gish says the officers deemed the animal to be a viable threat to their safety and fired their weapons in self defense. The dog was killed.
As for the driveby report, police say witnesses reported seeing an individual from one vehicle run to a house in the 1600 block of Western and a second vehicle with two passengers flee the scene.
Police identified the man taken into custody as 25-year-old Jermel Robbins, Sr. Lt. Gish says Robbins was the man seen fleeing a vehicle and he was found hiding in a house. Robbins was booked into jail Wednesday night on an unrelated weapons charge.
Several people in the area at the time of the shooting said they ran and took cover. Another witness said shots hit their home.
Portions of 17th Street and Western Avenue were closed as crews worked the crime scene.
Anyone with information on Wednesday's incident are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at (785) 234-0007.

Anthony Locke and David Wakulich helped row the Harvard varsity eight to a season-opening victory.
ITHACA, N.Y.—The No. 4 Harvard heavyweight crew opened its 2010 spring season by claiming victory in all five races Saturday on the Cayuga Lake Inlet in the first head-to-head racing between the Ivy League schools since 1961.
Racing with a tailwind on a warm, sunny morning, the Crimson varsity eight came from behind to beat Cornell (1-1) by more than four seconds. Both boats started fast, and Cornell led by as much as four seats in the opening minute of the race. Harvard, however, quickly pulled even and by the 1,000-meter mark had opened a boat-length lead. The Crimson slightly increased that margin in the second 1,000 and finished in 5:36.9. Cornell crossed in 5:41.3, suffering its first dual loss since 2008.
"It was a very good race and we were very solid," said Harry Parker, The Stone Family Head Coach for Harvard Men's Crew. "It was a strong start to our season. I thought all our crews raced very well."
The closest race of the morning came in the third varsity eight. The Big Red edged the Crimson by two seconds in 5:46.4, but Cornell's crew was disqualified for interfering with the Harvard boat in the second 500 meters of the course. Harvard's junior varsity and second freshman eights won by 3.6 seconds each, in times of 5:41.3 and 6:00.2, respectively. The freshman eight won by nearly five seconds in 5:44.1.

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn:
You never seem to have a slow week, but I'm hoping you'll get to my question. How do I force myself to be happy for my friends?
They are all buying houses and taking fabulous vacations, while I am stuck in a studio apartment with no savings and years of student loans. I feel so jealous and angry that I can't fake happiness for them, and my only proposed solution is to avoid them until I feel better.
And no, trying to be grateful for what little I do have has not helped me.
Helpless in Seattle
It needs to be a slow week for your question to matter? Are you always this quick to negate your own significance?
Yours is a legitimate problem, no less worthy than the others that appear here regularly.
One reason is its prevalence: There's always someone who goes home to a better house in a better car.
Another reason is the impact: People who envy peers start to doubt themselves, which drains them of the resource they need most (a sense of self-worth), which then leads to reading random ups and downs as part of some cosmic conspiracy against them, which fuels the cycle of envy, anger and self-loathing.
There are ways out — but not by forcing yourself to love your apartment. It has to be through what you do. Such as, be an excellent friend/sibling/child/auntie/uncle, or a hardworking employee, a dedicated and compassionate volunteer, a nurturing pet owner, a fierce teammate, an uninhibited playmate/singer/dancer/artist, an insatiable reader, a generous host or cook — whatever taps into your best — then be proud and grateful you're this way.
When you love your contribution, that's when you're able to say: "Yeah, nice house, but would I give up who I am to have it? No." The fab house would require different choices, after all, and different choices would have created a different you.
Reaffirming your choices inoculates you against envy. Is it perfect, no — you'll still gawk at a friend's palace — but it'll be a fleeting, not chronic, annoyance.
For Helpless:
You're not alone! For nearly a decade I felt like I was barely treading water while my friends were off living fabulous lives. I resented them.
How I dealt with it: I just forced myself to focus on ME. I focused on getting out of debt, trying to earn more money, etc. I did avoid some of these friends. I just said it wasn't personal, I needed time alone.
Some interesting things happened. That great big house my friend owned? Foreclosure. That luxury car? Leased or eight-year car loan. Overseas vacation? Maxed-out credit cards. That six-figure job? My friend got laid off. One friend actually told me he wished he had MY life.
You just don't know what goes on in other people's lives. . . . You have to focus on yours. So that's what I did.
When you set and achieve smaller goals, it makes you feel more optimistic. I won't lie — it took me a lot of time, but eventually I got to a less envious/resentful place.
Love this, thanks. Sometimes the luxury car is actually paid for, but your answer still applies: Set meaningful goals, work toward them, derive satisfaction accordingly.

Wisconsin wolf hunt reaches limit in two zones
The Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin is closing the wolf hunt season in two zones in the northeastern part of the state after quotes have been reached.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said Thursday it was closing the zones Friday when hunting and trapping hours end.
The quota for Zone 2, which encompasses the far northeastern corner of the state, was set at 20 wolves and the decision to close it came after 18 were killed.
The quota for Zone 4, which is just to the south of Zone 2, was just five wolves and four have been reported killed.
All of the four other zones remain open.
The hunt began on Oct. 15. It's set to run until hunters kill 116 wolves or until the last day of February, whichever comes first.

Passing out in weird places is part of any good drunk's job, but a Norwegian tourist has taken the artform to a whole new level by falling asleep on an airport baggage belt, and taking a trip back to the scanners.
The unnamed 36-year-old tourist was about to check in for a flight, but found no attendant at the desk. His elegant solution to the problem was, of course, to hop behind the desk, and pass out on the baggage belt. Fifteen minutes later, the tourist was travelling deep into the bowels of the "secure" baggage area, where his huddled, drunken form was spotted on one of the X-Ray baggage scanners.
Airport security's reaction? "There's usually an episode like this once a year and we are alert," an official told the Telegraph. "In this case we were notified we sounded the alarm immediately and we took action." If this isn't the first instance of this, you'd think might have developed a more proactive solution to the problem. Maybe that tourist isn't the only one who's been drinking.

R.A. :"TRUST ME" and Jerry didn't!
Dickey wanted Jerry to trust him. But we can't trust Jerry.
Some of the decisions he makes are mind-boggling!
The bats are quiet and so is HOJO! I see you Hojo...
You Gotta go!
6 comments:
The fans' intuition is that Castillo, Beltran, and Perez are bad for the team. We also see that Reyes is still undisciplined and immature; Bay is suffering from CITIFIELD over-reach; Davis is trying to carry the team; Wright can not learn how to throw overhand or keep away from that low outside breaking ball; and that a staff psychiatrist is needed for some of our pitchers. It was maddening that Reyes was allowed to play injured just before the All Star break - he stunk and then had to sit afterwards.ReplyDelete
There ARE ups & downs in the long season, but there are some constants. I think the fans know what they are.
All I know is ...It looks like the return of Beltran has upset the apple cart. Maybe we need to put things back the way they were.ReplyDelete
Sorry Joe,ReplyDelete
But Jerry made the right move. Unlike most knucleballers, Dickey put greater stress on his landing leg because he throws with decent velocity. He was favoring the leg after Jerry's first visit. If he had left him in and his leg was further injured, longer term, all would be calling for Jerry's head.
Remember the last guy to tell Jerry he wasn't hurt, and could stay in the game? He just had shoulder surgery ending his season for good.
Jerry is in a total no win situation. The same with using Feliciano against right-handers. All season fans have been screaming about Pedro coming in for one batter, and not staying an entire inning. Jerry leaves him in, and fans are in an uproar after Torre pinch-hit with righties.
Simple fact is Jerry didn't lose all of those games during the road trip, those guys swinging the sticks did.
I agree.It was all about the sticks!ReplyDelete
Ho-Jo in da box!ReplyDelete
Way to go Joe!
It's really the players fault they aren't hitting but they need a wake up call.
And the whole starting lineup can't play in boxes.
......or can they?
Who's driving that truck?

Caline Aoun, Untitled
Untitled 2012 is a series of works that act like drawings or paintings printed on digital transfer film.
The material used, Permajet Digitak Transfer film, is a new material that meets us halfway between the worlds of analog and digital photography. It allows the photographer to print our current digital images on outmoded negative like films, which then can be used in the darkroom to create genuine positive gelatin prints. With this new material, the digital camera meets the analogue darkroom and allows us to produce perfect 'digital negatives'.
In my turn, I used this material with its slippery and confused identity by repeatedly feeding it through an inkjet printer in order to observe and experiment with the ink's interaction with the surface of the digital film. The result is an overprinting of the surface with Photoshop drawn fields of colour.
The resulting work looks like nothing that should be coming out from an inkjet printer, when these machines are built and designed to produce slick and flawless reproductions that 'exceed your vision' where mistakes are not to be tolerated. The work bears all traces and registrations of its production, even the trace of a struggle between the printer and the material - hand marks, drips, streaks, mis-registrations and blurs.
By repeatedly overpinting on the film, an unexpected painterly process is generated. With each piece created, varying states of the printers' head and ink are transcribed. It is a struggle. The track marks of the wheels on wet ink all mixed with the scratches and marks on the prints from falling abruptly onto the floor and being fed back again into the printer show the process that occurred between the printer and the material.
A big part of my art practice investigates and challenges our understanding of the production of the image today , which is evolving dramatically with the fast development of digitisation and networking technology. It aims to interrupt and re-think the image as object and proposes a broad investigation into its everyday and often overlooked wider uses.
My art studio becomes a site of experimentation with the malleability of images as well as the limits of the mechanical processes through which images are produced and circulated daily. My practice looks for spaces of reflection amidst the ever moving, ever increasing sea of images. In light of our present cultural moment of over-proliferation and digital evolution, the 'abstracted' image-less nature of my work could be interpreted as a breakdown of an overall system of image production.
Caline Aoun, 2013

Singer Kelly Clarkson and NBA MVP LeBron James will help kids "Get Schooled" this fall.
The stars will participate in the new national education initiative from Viacom and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which will launch with a TV special featuring the celebs.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Since She's Been Gone: Catching Up With Kelly Clarkson
On Tuesday, September 8, the 30-minute special, titled "Get Schooled: You Have The Right," will air across all of Viacom's networks, which include MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, CMT, VH1 and Spike TV.
"Lots of young people run into problems beyond their control, like finances, that keep them from pursuing their education," Kelly said in a statement. "At that point, it's easy to give up. But I believe it's important to continue to work hard and learn from everyone and everything around you."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Celebs Who Give Back
The special will examine education's impact on Kelly and LeBron, with key moments that influenced their lives and prepared them for their careers. Together, Viacom and the Bell & Melinda Gates Foundation will use it as the launching point for a five-year initiative that will provide the platform for corporate and community stakeholders to address the challenges facing public schools.
"I know first hand how important it is for young people to have role models who can inspire them about the importance of education," LeBron said in a statement. "And help them make good choices that will provide them with tools to succeed."
Get Schooled: You Have the Right is created and executive produced by Dave Sirulnick and executive produced and directed by Lauren Lazin.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: 2008 Beijing Olympics: Men's Basketball
@radical.media is a strategic, creative and production partner of the Get Schooled initiative.
"Get Schooled" is a national platform that connects, inspires and mobilizes people - from policymakers and corporate leaders to communities and kids - to find effective solutions to the problems facing our education system. It provides resources and information, community outreach and creative programming that engage a range of audiences around America's education crisis.
"Get Schooled's" co-developers are the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Viacom, including BET Networks, MTV Networks and Paramount Pictures. The initiative combines the Foundation's deep knowledge of education reform with the power of Viacom's diverse brands to raise awareness about the challenges facing America's public education system.
