Burlington, Vermont: Arts, Food, and Outdoor Fun
Perched on the shores of Lake Champlain — the largest freshwater lake in the U.S. after the five Great Lakes — Burlington, Vermont, is just 45 miles south of the Canadian border and offers a host of fun for families with children of all ages.
The largest city in the state, Burlington boasts a long history of being a great place to live, offering an exceptional work/life balance for its 45,000 residents and many diverse activities. Originally a trading hub, today it's home to the University of Vermont and much more.
"The city has a vibrant food, arts and family scene," says Miro Weinberger, mayor of Burlington, and the father of a 20-month-old and a 9-year old. "It's a dynamic city with great food, arts, and culture in a uniquely beautiful natural setting and a great commitment to local companies and artists. Sustainability of the environment is key; the entire city is provided power sourced from renewable resources. "
Here are five must-sees, straight from the mayor:
Burlington Farmers Market
City Hall Park,
149 Church Street
Saturdays, 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m.
"On Saturdays, we put our 20-month-old in a bike trailer," Weinberger says. "We ride down to the Farmer's Market held in City Hall Park. There are dozens of vendors, with food, arts and crafts, music, and the kids play in the park. It is a great family scene."

The 14-mile Island Line trail includes a unique "bike ferry," which transports cyclists and pedestrians across "the Cut" of Lake Champlain, a 200-foot gap on the Colchester Causeway. "You are riding with water on both sides and the Adirondacks to the west," says the mayor, a frequent cyclist on the path.

The 70-minute Burlington to Port Kent, NY, ferry crossing gets you on the water with beautiful views of the mountains and Lake Champlain.
"The Lake Champlain Transportation Ferry Boat takes you for a nice hour ride to Port Kent, New York," Weinberger notes. "You can then return, or if you took your car or bike, continue to make a big loop. It's a great way to see Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks."
South End Truck Stop
400 Pine St.
Fridays, 5 p.m.-10 p.m.
Enjoy a variety of food trucks, local artisans, and music. "This is a really funky, eclectic arts scene," Weinberger adds. "There are a bunch of food trucks in parking lots surrounded by art stores and galleries. It is unique and fun."

The Intervale Center
180 Intervale Rd.
Thursdays, 5:30 p.m.-8 p.m.
The Intervale Center's mission is to strengthen community food systems, offering local food, live music, and children's activities on Thursdays via its Summervale events. "The Intervale Center is one of those hidden jewels in the area," the mayor notes. "It is like an urban oasis. Food, beverages, music, and educational sessions are all wrapped into one fun evening."

Ishaani was shocked at Milan gives her the gift box and asks her to wear it. He insists on her to go in while she still resisted. He sends the selfies with Ishaani to his men.
Ranveer prayed for Ishaani to be saved. He shouted to get freed. Milan's men come to him, they ask him not to shout as their boss's wedding night has begun. They say his voice won't reach his Ishaani today. They show him Milan's selfie with Ishaani. Ranveer is shocked to see this, he prays that Ishaani gets to know that she isn't with him but someone else. The men show him the gift as well. Ranveer is curt. The men say that all that is Ranveer's is their boss's today.
Ishaani opens the box and is shocked to find the lingerie. She thinks that Ranveer had told her that day that it was only joke, he said he likes her in any dress that she likes to wear. Then why he wants her to wear this. Milan awaited Ishaani with a drink in hand. Ishaani gets upset that is it necessary that tonight a wife must do anything a husband asks to. She says she knows this isn't Ranveer's thinking, but why is he behaving so odd. She wonders if she must wear it or not.
Disha says to Lakshmi that she respects Parul, but she wants Parul to stay away from Manas. Parul is attracted to Manas, Disha says she loves Manas a lot and they aren't going to get separated. Will Parul get Manas ever? Lakshmi says she never wanted Parul to marry a married guy, whose wife had left him. She asks if she won't want that her only daughter marries the love of her life. Disha says that she must marry Parul to a good guy, the more time they take more difficult it will be for Parul and her to reply to world as well. Lakshmi says she is right.
Milan waits for Ishaani outside in the room getting restless. The door opens, Milan turns to see Ishaani and is shocked to see her wrapped in a white cloth all over. She comes to him uncomfortably. Milan asks what is she draped in, then gets she is shy of her husband. He says that is good to be a bit shy and gets to bed asking if she liked his gift. Ishaani doesn't reply. Milan asks her not to be shy anymore and remove the cloth.
Ranveer struggles vigorously with his chains.
Ishaani goes towards the bed, back to back with Milan. She held the cloth tightly and removes the cloth finally to reveal the night gown. Milan asks if she has removed it, Ishaani turns towards him. Milan turns around and is shocked to see her in gown. He gets angry and asks her what this is, why she didn't wear what he had given her. Ishaani asks why was that needed, he said to her that he likes her what she likes to wear. Milan says he didn't say anything like that. He says it is his wedding today, she is his wife and why should he imagine something if she is there in front of him. Ishaani tries to calm him down, but he asks why he should talk to her when she didn't hear anything he had asked for. If she has to come to him, she must come in what he had given her. Ishaani cries and says this is her, she hadn't expected this all on her wedding night, she hadn't imagined it. She had loved the simplicity of Ranveer, and it seems he isn't the one she knows. Milan says neither she knew him nor will. She must wear what she likes and celebrate the wedding night alone.
Ranveer thinks he must get out to save Ishaani from that villain.
Ishaani tries to stop Milan, saying she got nervous like any girl. She says I am sorry, I shouldn't have talked like this atleast tonight and hugs Milan. He smiles victoriously.
Ranveer throws the drums away.
Milan gets away from Ishaani. Ishaani asks him to give atleast one smile, else she will start crying again. He smiles at her. Ishaani tells him to let go, and moves towards bed herself.
Ranveer was enraged, the men run to him but he struggles with them and pushes them all away shouting at them to open him up and let him go.
Ishaani goes to sit up on bed.
Ranveer shouted at the men to call Milan here. The men beat him hard, punching him in stomach. One of them got an injection again, Ranveer pushed him back again but he puts in the injection.
PRECAP: Milan shows Ranveer lip marks on his neck saying Ishaani isn't what she seems to be. Ranveer says Ishaani is such a pure soul, he can't have slept with her, she would know by his touch only that he isn't Ranveer but some stranger.

We have tons of respect for the crafty entrepreneurs at Etsy (especially after attempting several at-home D.I.Y. projects that have gone terribly—and oftentimes hilariously—awry). The website has helped the next big design stars grab some much-needed exposure, and happily for us, has provided major accessibility to what were once only flea-market and specialty store finds. It comes as no surprise that many of these artists call NYC home, running their successful Etsy shops out of apartments, on top of day jobs. To give you the best chic for your click, we've hand-selected (get it?) a few of our favorite NYC-based handmade and vintage shops from the Big App, with products ranging from tribal jewelry to letter-pressed cards. Though this merch might be your neighbors', you don't need to leave su casa to get your one-of-a-kind style fix. And with those chocolate cream pies at the Brooklyn Flea, our summer bodies are saying that's a good thing.

Jim Gilson
The information on this microsite (upcmasterplan.usc.edu) reflects archival data last updated in 2008. For the most accurate current information on the University Village Specific Plan, please visit village.usc.edu.
Member, USC Master Plan Advisory Committee
Vice President and General Counsel, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
Jim Gilson would like to see more nature around Los Angeles, instead of the concrete tundra that dominates the city. Park space, he believes, should not be limited to the tiny green oases that exist now, but rather should be more common and widespread.
This concern about natural space led Gilson to get involved with the USC Master Plan Advisory Committee. In addition to seeing more green space in the neighborhood, Gilson would like the university's 20-year development plan to address issues of parking, construction and aesthetics of the Exposition MTA line, and the creation of a safe atmosphere for residents and students. The most important goal of the master plan, however, is a lasting partnership between Exposition Park and the university. "I would like to enhance the connection between the two campuses," Gilson said. "We can reinforce each other and coordinate future development of campus and the park."
Gilson's interest in Exposition Park derives in part from his experience as vice president and general counsel for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, a post he has held for more than a decade. Currently, the museum is undergoing an $85 million renewal as part of a six-year venture that will enhance the exterior as well as update current displays and introduce new ones. Gilson also serves as administrator of the Page Museum at the Rancho La Brea Tar Pits, where he helped execute $10 million in renovations that have enhanced the appearance of the globally renowned fossil site.
Gilson believes that the university's creation of its master plan represents an exciting period for Exposition Park and the surrounding community, and that things will only get better. "It is the existence of USC that pushes the neighborhood to enhance itself," he said.

I did an estimate yesterday for a senior moving to the Buffalo NY area. I have not been so charmed by anyone in quite awhile.
She met me at the door with a huge smile. We walked through the house and she pointed out what is going and what is staying.
He house in immaculate and she is almost all packed already. She is so positive about life and the new apartment. I was there way too long and had to call my next appointment to let them know I might be a few minutes late.
We will supply Mrs M with boxes for her to finish packing. We will pack the pictures for her. We will load and travel straight up there for unloading the next morning. We might drop a couple of pieces off at a nieces for her.
The conversation roamed into other things on her mind. We discussed a lawyer to update her will. We discussed a handyman to help fix some minor issues a the house.
When she calls with a firm moving date, I hope I'm on the job!
Faith can move mountains, for everything else there is BD Movers!(tm)

The Quantified Human
At SXSW I spoke with some people who predicted that technology will make it possible for people to quantify and track their behaviors, feelings, actions and more during every moment of the day and then to review and analyze the resulting data to better understand themselves so they could make decisions that led to happier and healthier lives. Chris Dancy is already trying to do this and has discovered, for example, that he drives faster when the temperature of his house is higher and that he eats poorly when he watches multiple episodes of Project Runway. Full disclosure, Chris is scheduled to speak at the at the 2014 Healthways Well-Being Summit and I work for Healthways.
The Social Human
So, is this a good idea? Well, maybe. But it assumes that our lack of happiness is a failure to properly understand ourselves, and I'm not sure that's the problem. In fact, it seems more likely that an inordinate focus on ourselves is the source of much personal unhappiness. Some studies suggest that self-focus leads to depression. I'm not sure the solution is technology that super-charges our naval-gazing. Instead it may exacerbate the problem by making us more isolated and self-absorbed.
Another problem with this approach is that it is "self-referential." It is difficult to better understand ourselves by looking only at ourselves. Self-referential systems lead to paradoxes ("This sentence is untrue") which may render such a system unreliable. It's like trying to keep your car in your lane by focusing on the steering wheel.
I think it is more important to understand and connect with others. We are social creatures and happiness depends on those connections which we increasingly struggle to undestand and manage properly in part because of technology's intrusion.
A more useful system might be one that tracked data that define our relationships--an outside-in view of our social connections--that would help us realize when we were getting off track and what we might do about it. One that might divert us from our navals and return our focus to the people and relationships that really do give us happier, healthier lives. This would be more like trying to keep your car in your lane by focusing on the road.
Not that such a system is necessary since we are all wired to relate. Perhaps we could revive those dormant skills if we took our eyes off the screens and the data and returned to looking each other in the eye where we will find a rich source of data about ourselves and our connection to others that has been there all along.
Spread the fire. GS

Written by Safe Baby Healthy Child Founders
We feel we needed to do an update on the Foam Mat post especially after we received the following charged comment from a reader's point of view we do not agree with:
"Wow what a bunch of pseudoscience crap is in this article. I'll go with the tadpoles mats. Thanks.
I found that this article has nothing really useful. Sometimes formamide off gasses from new foam products. You just have to leave the mats out for a while before you let you kids play on them.
Also, what do the pediatrics think? I would like to hear from them on this issue instead of someone who just thinks because France did it this is the correct answer.
Its true that Europe has some better regulations concerning their foam and plastic products but you can get to a point where your worrying about crap that doesn't matter. Maybe you should take a closer look at all the 50 million other types of plastic and foam products you use in your daily life before freaking out." It was posted here
Good or bad comments = people care what SAFBABY writes about
We do value all of our comments and we hold in high regards our reader's questions and concerns too. When there are comments that come in that we do not necessarily agree with, we feel that we stay pretty open minded to see this person's perspective and try to learn something from them. If our reader's questions pose more questions for us, we look for the answers from top professionals and experts that we trust and respect. Most of our comments are sweet and full of appreciation from everyone.
What we write about is NOT supported by big advertisers. We write unbiased articles, based on the research that we, 2 concerned mamas with lots of questions, care about. Do we piss off certain manufacturers? Sometimes. But if we don't share the truth about what we find who will? Not the mainstream media that IS sponsored by big industry.
We won't stop doing the research and writing about what matters to us AND YOU.
Most (not all, but most) business's #1 priority is to make money, NOT to protect your child!
It would probably shock you to know how little some manufacturers know about the components to the products they create. It may shock you to know how little regulations there are for the safety of children's products too. Does this mean go crazy over every little detail? NO. That WILL drive you, well, crazy.
But please, we must WAKE UP to the truth of the matters at hand and we start seeing the truth for what it is. AGAIN, it is ALL about profit, we need to stop believing manufacturer (again, we are not saying all of them) have our best interest at heart. They are in business to make money, not to protect our children. That is their business. So be it. That is truly their right. However, as a parent, I believe it is my right and my business to make the most educated choices for my child's health and well being. Who will choose that for your child?
Leading Experts consider Formamide in EVA Foam Puzzle Mats Harmful
We are not overly anxious and do inform and educate ourselves consistently, asking for expert opinions from both sides!
Dr. Hermann Kurse, Toxicologist at the Univeristy of Kiel Germany (and I consider him to be a leading expert) said that Formamide shouldn't be used in baby products and that Formamide in Foam Puzzle mats is more harmful that Phthalate.
I don't think we have to go into details on how harmful Phthalate is, these days EVERYBODY knows!
If we would just freak out, we wouldn't have our SAFBABY blog. Our blog is about how to avoid unnecessary toxins, make positive and life-enhancing changes, and use safer alternatives! We're here to talk about things that matter to us, find solutions, hear from experts and their points of views, and even confront the manufacturers.
Thanks to blogs like SAFBABY, parents change the way they live, shop, eat, drink etc. It is THIS type of action that forces manufacturers to change their way of production, if they want to keep the customers. So going healthy, green etc. is a smart business decision.
Here is SAFBABY's answer to the reader's comment:
"You just have to leave the mats out for a while before you let you kids play on them.."
Leaving the mats out for a while is not going to make much difference. According to OEKO-TEST conclusion after reviewing the EVA foam puzzle mat test results:
Foam Mats that don't smell, still outgass. Airing the mat doesn't help. TUEV Rheinland LGA, working with OEKO-TEST testing the foam mats aired the mat over a long period of time.
"What do the pediatrics think?"
So many issues aren't addressed by health authorities like high levels of fluoride in water and toothpaste, Formaldehyde in clothes and furniture, Aluminum in baby formula, Lead in Juice and Vitamins and the list goes on. Most laws are pushed by consumers not the other way around! Oh, and according to OEKO-TEST , PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) which can cause cancer has also been found in most of the foam mats in unacceptable levels unsafe for small children.
"I would like to hear from them on this issue instead of someone who just thinks because France did it this is the correct answer. Its true that Europe has some better regulations concerning their foam and plastic products but you can get to a point where your worrying about crap that doesn't matter."
First, it's not just France that's concerned….it's the country that decided 'BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY', which is usually not the way the US operates when it comes to the safety of our children.
The federal law that should protect us from health-harming chemicals just doesn't work. Since 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has required safety testing on only 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market. We need a stronger chemical law to keep our families safe and healthy!
"Maybe you should take a closer look at all the 50 million other types of plastic and foam products you use in your daily life before freaking out…"
We're not freaking out, just keeping consumers informed. We've been taking a closer look at many other chemicals/toxins for the last 6 years, so FORMAMIDE is not the only or first one.
I am wondering why you're so upset about the foam mat issue. Are you the manufacturer of one?
Why the Formamide Free Statement Is Meaningless
We actually decided NOT TO update our chart, as the whole ˜formamide free' statement is meaningless. Formamide is usually tested to ONLY a certain level (10mg or 20mg/kg) and if it passes that level, then test results say ˜PASS' which translates to ˜formamide free'. At this time, there is NO 100% formamide FREE EVA foam puzzle mat. The government doesn't regulate Formamide in the US. Also, like we mentioned above, PAH (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) which can cause cancer has also been found in most of the foam mats in unacceptable levels unsafe for small children. What also stinks (literally) is that most of the mats are sold in packaging made of toxic PVC.
So please no more emails from manufacturers regarding us updating our chart and stating your mat is "safe" unless it is a mat that does not contain EVA foam, or the laws change.
What do you think?
We'd love to know your thoughts, do you agree, are we freaking out? Please share below the post AND on Facebook!

Hi Folks, One activity that I frequently perform when processing XML Schemas is this: I have a simpleType and I need to know all the constraints on it. Example: consider this simpleType: <xsd:simpleType name="BostonAreaSurfaceElevation"> <xsd:restriction base="elev:EarthSurfaceElevation"> <xsd:minInclusive value="0"/> <xsd:maxInclusive value="120"/> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:simpleType> What are all the constraints on it? Well, it identifies a base type, elev:EarthSurfaceElevation. That base type may contain some constraints that must be considered. Further, that base type may have a base type, which has a base type, etc. That entire dependency tree must be considered. Determining all the constraints on a simpleType is an important programming idiom (at least, it is for my applications). What would you name this programming idiom? I have been naming it "simpleType accumulated restrictions" but wonder if there is a better name? Even better, is there a functional programming language (e.g., Haskell) function that does this kind of activity, or an analogous activity? /RogerReceived on Wednesday, 27 April 2011 09:41:48 UTC

Les Roches the majestic Swiss Alps To 5-star luxury in Bangkok
Nestled in the picturesque Swiss Alps, just a few minutes drive from the famous ski, golf and leisure resort of Crans-Montana, sits the campus of Les Roches International School of Hotel Management. With bachelor, postgraduate and master programs in the fields of hospitality and event management, Les Roches offers a rich array of resources for academic progression, professional development and international networking to equip students with the attitude and skills needed to become the future leaders of the industry.
Thanyathorn Chatlaong from Thailand graduated from Les Roches with a Postgraduate Diploma in 2013 and dived straight into her new career as a Revenue Analyst for Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok. She shares her Les Roches experience, and why it was the best step forward to change the direction of her career in one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.
Why I wanted to change career
Before deciding to study at Les Roches, I worked in a media company for about 2 years, then moved to a digital marketing agency as an assistant to the managing director and a marketing group head manager for about one and a half years. I became interested in hospitality as I took more and more holidays during my marketing career, and started to have ideas about how nice it would be to have my own business that was a hideaway place. The idea became more and more attractive, but with no background in the field, I wanted to gain a little bit of basic knowledge and know-how before diving into hospitality full time. The Postgraduate Diploma program at Les Roches seemed to be the right solution for me.
The Les Roches way of life
It was an amazing experience for me living on campus in the middle of the Swiss Alps. Not only did I come to fall in love with the Swiss mountains, the location of the campus is one of the very reasons that makes Les Roches such a special place. It is the location that bonds all of us Les Rochians together.
The classes during my program were small, and very interactive in nature. While providing theoretical foundations, practical lessons and applications to real life situations were a big part of most of the classes as well. The balance of both theoretical and practical classes at Les Roches was something that came to be very useful once I was in the field. And because classes are small, there were opportunities for one-on-one interaction with teachers.
Each semester, around 40 different companies visited Les Roches to recruit students. The number and the profiles of the companies who came to the school for recruitment showed me how well connected Les Roches was to the industry.
Being such an international campus with people from all the parts of the world, Les Roches offers a unique setting for the development of interpersonal and social skills, which are at the center of the hospitality world. To me, hospitality is about people – how to lead and manage people, and how to make them feel the most special.
Hired by the best
Before graduating, I was in contact with the Four Seasons Hotel in Bangkok. After several emails back and forth while I was going through my final exams at Les Roches, I finally had the chance to interview with the Director of Sales & Marketing, who asked me about what I thought revenue management was. I sent him one of our revenue management projects analyzing Four Seasons revenue strategies, which secured me the final face-to-face interview with him in Bangkok and I was offered the position of Revenue Analyst.
I was exposed to revenue management from the Yield and Revenue Management class at Les Roches, and I believe one of the projects I did for this class helped me to achieve the position I am in now. More than the specifics of revenue management; however, the wholesomeness of the basics of hospitality, may it be in food & beverage, rooms divisions, and even finance and accounting provided me a great overview which allowed me to catch up with those already established in the industry.
With a good experience in the field, I hope to establish my own business in the future. Coming into the field because hospitality gives out so much joy and happiness, I hope that one day I would be able to offer those happy moments to those who seek them through travel in my own, unique hotel.

Blue China Larkspur and Hydrangeas
by Nancy Medina
Oil on Museum Quality Linen Board
Today was chilly, sunny, and absolutely perfect for painting in the Texas Hill Country. Yesterday we painted blue hydrangeas and white roses. Today we painted larkspur in fuschia and purple and white hydrangeas and white daisies. If it stays nice and chilly tonight, we have a whole batch of lovely orange tulips for tomorrow! Blue China Hydrangeas and Larkspur was my class demo this morning, and the studio setup is shown for you below. Take a peek at some of my students' work - they were absolutely fearless with those blue hydrangeas!

We wanted to throw an Oscar Party. Not. I wanted to go out and eat, while A wanted to cook as always. She took me out to lunch at Taqueria Del Sol one day and I had some heavenly cheese dip with my Tortilla chips. I've been dreaming about it ever since and couldn't take it out of my head. In fact, I looked for it everyday here, never finding it. So, while I threw tantrums asking to go out to eat, A bribed me with the idea of a private, cosy Oscar party. Just for the two of us. I'm dieting, and I knew it wasn't going to be a party in any sense for me. But he played just on that. He enticed me with 'one day only' junk food and promised he'd take care of the cooking and the cleaning while I ogled at Hugh Jackman. I fell into the carefully laid out trap. So, we had a grand party in Pajamas with a comforter thrown in for good measure and some really, really bad food. This is what we ate for over 3 hours.
Tortilla chips with a cheesy dip laced generously with jalapenos
Some fries. Okay, make that lot of fries. The only redeeming factor being that they were baked.
Hummus with some tortilla chips
Water (for me)
Chocolate pudding
Did I mention cheese dip? I didn't? We also had some cheese dip. With the Tortilla chips. No, it wasn't the other way round. In fact, I had it with Roti tonight too. Sigh. I ate well that night. After a strict carb-less, fat-less diet for 2 weeks, I alternated between cheese dip and Hugh Jackman effortlessly. Now, I have beautiful dreams of both my indulgences. *smacks lips*
Since we were making it anyway, I decided to take some pics. And I came up with this one. So, I thought I'd live my day dream. Let me explain or rather show.

Fault or error codes used in dishwashers produced by Smeg for Diplomat and Hygena that were sold by MFI. These dishwasher were almost always integrated models with a cupboard door on the front of them and the LEDs on the top edge of the dishwasher door although the same codes may apply to other dishwasher models.
These dishwasher fault codes will displayed as a digital code, exactly as you will see below, in an LED or LCD panel or display on the dishwasher door. The lights will be flashing or lit as shown giving you the fault code.
Before you start any investigation of the fault or open up your Diplomat dishwasher please read and fully understand this article in full and pay particular attention to the safety and information notices at the bottom of this page as they contain extremely important information!
Please remember to support our site by buying spares from our spare part store here and, if you decide that you really need an engineer please support the local repairers that help make this site possible, you can search for a repairer from the link below.
Diplomat Dishwasher Fault Codes
Like other fault codes these written for dishwasher repairers and not for the general public by Diplomat and they assume a certain level of competence on the part of the user in diagnostic routines. We may have added some notes to try to assist you in determining the nature of the fault you have but, you will still need to investigate each failure on its own merits. For more help and advice on fault finding on a dishwasher please refer to our basic dishwasher fault finding guide from this link before you begin.
Please check that any Diplomat dishwasher spares recommended are suitable for use on your particular model and production code or serial number. If you are unsure about the suitability of any spare part please ask to ensure that you get the correct spares for your Diplomat dishwasher. Please, don't guess or assume as spares can be altered on a production run with the same model number having several different alternative components used.
Fault Code Lights Legend
This is our very simple legend to show the state of the lights, lamps or LED's as they are unlit, flashing or lit continuously.
|Light or LED not lit
|Light or LED flashing
|Light or LED lit solid, no flash
Diplomat Dishwasher Fault Codes
|Flood protection system activated (E1 & E9)
Safety pressure system activated (E2)
Failed to heat in allotted time (E3)
NTC (temperature sensor) error (E4)
Failure to fill with water (E5)
Failure to drain in time allowed (E6)
Flow meter detected when not fitted, reset required (E7)
More Dishwasher Help, Advice & Guidance
Should you need more help and guidance please use the links from this article as most of them will help you to understand your dishwasher a lot better and probably very much help you in diagnosing the fault you have. Of course there are many other articles on the site that will also help you do this.
In addition you can post in our help and advice forums after registering but please do pay heed to the information below before doing so and read the guides, they are there to help you. But if you are in any doubt at all or don't think you are up to diagnosing the fault yourself please use our engineer search to find a local dishwasher engineer.
You must understand certain things before you begin or attempt any repairs on your own and we want to make these points very, very clear to anyone that decides to investigate one of these or any other dishwashers:
- We are not responsible for your safety, you are and by using this guide you accept that and accept that any damage that you may cause and work undertaken is entirely at your own risk.
- We will advise the common causes of the fault codes but we cannot guarantee that any parts or work recommended will resolve the issue. It is entirely your responsibility to diagnose your particular problem and resolve it.
- We are not responsible for you buying spares that do not resolve the problem, this is down to your own diagnosis not ours.
- No warranty is inferred, implied or given.
Be aware that these Diplomat dishwasher fault or error codes are not a "magic bullet", they will not tell you what the problem is, they will only offer you an indication of where the problem lies and they are no substitute for diagnostic skills. You can find out more about what fault codes actually tell you in this article. So please be well aware that, even with this new found knowledge you will still have to actually be capable of investigating and diagnosing the problem and this means adhering to basic appliance safety for working on them.
Please do note that manufacturers can and do change fault codes without notice and we cannot guarantee that these error codes will apply to your particular model as all codes apply to a wide range of appliances and not normally any one specific model. To determine if these fault codes do apply to your particular dishwasher model please post a request to confirm this in the forums.
Diplomat Dishwasher Service Notes
From an older article:
Smeg dishwashers (and these Diplomat and Hygena integrated dishwashers) utilise the five programme LEDs to indicate faults. A combination of the first four lamps will flash and lamp five will be lit and steady. A basic interpretation of these codes will be found in the user manual.
There are four circumstances which can cause spurious lights on the control panel.
The various culprits which can cause this error
Diplomat Dishwasher Mains Suppressor
These have a habit of blowing up, but still allowing power into the machine. As a consequence, they generate electrical noise which can cause corruption of the computer board. If you are lucky, replacing the suppressor will set the PCB to rights. There are two types of suppressor, one is a plastic cylinder on a metal frame in the back corner, the other is a plastic three lead cylinder in the front left of the wiring loom, under the tub.
Diplomat Dishwasher Soap Dispenser
This device is operated by a solenoid on the inside of the door. Over time, the solenoid can deteriorate internally; it also suffers from dampness and dodgy wiring connectors. As above, replacing the dispenser may restore order.
Diplomat Dishwasher Computer Board Or Programmer
They do go wrong, simple fact. Occasionally there is visible evidence of blown tracks and burnt connections, for instance. Often, they simply stop working.
Diplomat Dishwasher Door Lock In Door Closed Position
Occasionally, the door switch can be faulty or the door lock itself jammed in the door closed position (although the door is in fact open). This may cause spurious flashing lights and cause the programme buttons to become inoperative.
The conclusion to be drawn from the above is that there is no simple, sure-fire way of diagnosing problems on these machines. They are technically complex and replacement parts are expensive. Many repairers will carry the suppressors and dispensers as stock items, allowing testing by substitution. This is not a practical option for the home repairer guessing is an expensive way of repairing an appliance.
If you wish to carry on with the diagnosis, remember, power off for anything other than observation.

International Women's Day 2017: Scientific Insights into the Question of Gender
Today's International Women's Day, and if you would like to learn more about what science has to say about gender, Population Europe can help you.
The partners of our network have produced a wide range of cutting-edge research on the role of women and men in society and the economy. Take the project "FamiliesAndSocieties", for example: one of its main reports looks into how the role of the two genders has changed over time. It also presents the implications these changes have for families, societies, and policies, in particular when it comes to the transition to parenthood and how families organise themselves under conditions of uncertainty and precariousness.
In the "Publications" section of our website, you will find many more studies that shed further light on the role of women and men – have a look!

Rebel One - Year One
As animators it's our job to elevate our clients products and services by bringing to life their visions, concepts and hordes of the undead. Alright, we've yet to animate (or reanimate) a plague of zombies, but one year ago we did sign the paperwork that would make our vision a reality and formed Rebel One Studios. It's been an incredible experience getting this company off the ground and having the opportunity to work on a number of challenging and exciting projects. However, the best part has been the relationships that we've built. A massive thanks to all of our clients, colleagues, comrades, collaborators and an amazing circle of supporters who have freely taken the time to advocate for us even though we had little to offer in return. Nothing encourages us more than mentors at the top reaching down into the murk at the bottom to help us find the right rungs on the ladder. Having allies, from all walks of life, believe in us has made it possible to continue believing in ourselves. And having creative, innovative clients that quickly see the application of our services has made it possible for us to keep driving forward. Again, thank you all.
As good as the story has been so far, chapter two promises more action, more excitement and more
gore (alright, I can't promise zombies) adventure! We've got some partnerships in the works that will allow us to continue improving the quality of our work and the efficiency of our process, as well as some new projects, the results of which we can't wait to share.
If you have any ideas that you'd like to discuss for your next project or proposal, or even if you just want to scratch out a brainstorm to see what possibilities exist (I assure you they're in there), please feel free to reach out to us anytime.
Cheers! The Rebel One Team

Natufian Burial Reconstruction Image via Wikimedia Commons
Identifying the grave of an ancient shaman would seem to be impossible but that has been done recently in Israel. Archeologists discovered the skeleton of a 12,000 year old, female shaman who belonged to the Near East Natufian Culture of 15,000 to 11,500 BCE. Grave offerings included 50 complete tortoise shells, a leopard's pelvis, the wing tip of a golden eagle, tail of a cow, two marten skulls and a human foot. The forearm of a large boar was aligned with the woman's left humerus, an arrangement that must have had magical significance. All of these animals are rare in Natufian graves and the assemblage is highly unusual. The tortoises were eaten before their shells ('carapace') were put in the grave, perhaps this meal was part of the burial ritual.
Image by Donar Reiskoffer
The burial itself can only be explained as that of a shaman who was set in her grave with the totemic animals of her clan and also the personal totemic animals that gave her insight and likely conferred healing powers as well. The shaman's body was placed in an unusual position, and rocks covered her head, pelvis and arms. Her people may have been attempting to protect the body against animal scavengers and also keep her spirit in the cave and among her people.
This shaman was a 45 year old, petite woman at the time of her death. She had a spinal disability and would have walked with a limp, dragging her foot. Considering that the average life expectancy of a Natufian was about 30 years, this ancient sybil was extremely old for her time. She must have been cared for, and attended to, with great attention and affection in order to achieve this long life.
Here, we have a rare, real historical example of an 'ancient wise woman', someone who used her great power to heal the sick and benefit her people. And because she did so, she was revered and protected by her clan, even in death, with a respectful burial, fitting for a leader of the time.
We'll even throw in a free album.

Some people say that G-d is always watching. Regardless of your belief system, you are always a witness to your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Your core values and character are revealed to you through these manifestations.
Our thoughts and actions can be negative and damaging, or they can be positive and transformational. Negatives and positives do not necessarily cancel each other out in equal proportion; they both tend to hang around in some way according to our expectations. Every thought and behavior has a cumulative impact. We are a composite of all of these positive and negative forces flowing within us.
Other people are probably watching you too. People look to their leaders for inspiration and often model their behavior in response to these observations. The best way to get the performance that you expect of others is to demonstrate it yourself. Be cognizant of the impact you have and consistently set a good example for others to follow.
Every moment is an opportunity for success and excellence. With each interaction and decision, you demonstrate your values, goals, and priorities. Make a commitment to nurture a lifelong relationship with excellence moment to moment, day to day, and year to year.

SearchSmarter: 50 Ways to Get a Job
SearchSmarter is a new, periodic series that will showcase emerging tools designed to make managing your job search (or career) easier, smarter and/or a lot less overwhelming. Karen Friesen debuts SearchSmarter with a report on an incredibly cool new website, 50 Ways to Get a Job.
Raise your hand if you know this foolproof, three-step formula for landing a great job.
It goes a little something like this:
1. Get your resume in order.
2. Scour the internet for a custom-made opportunity to fit your skills.
3. Slap a cover letter together, apply, and wait for the offers to roll in.
Oh, wait. That hasn't been your experience?
Well, of course not. Landing the perfect job is rarely so easy. (And is anything truly foolproof?) Even if your list of accomplishments includes earning straight A's at Harvard Business School (congratulations all three of you), finding a career you love means knowing what you're great at and what brings you satisfaction, searching out those opportunities and convincing a potential employer that YOU are the person they have been waiting for.
Oh, and keeping calm and focused in the process.
A just launched website aims to help job seekers uncover their career purpose, take positive action, and -- importantly -- stay sane in the process. Best of all, it's free.
Created by Dev Aujla, co-author of "Making Good," 50 Ways to Get a Job does more than just throw out the "normal platitudes of find your passion and follow your bliss," says Aujla. "We set out to give (job seekers) those steps in as tangible and actionable a form as possible."
That's right. Wherever you are in your job search, 50Ways aims to help by doling out – you guessed it – 50 different "missions" to inch you closer to your dream job.
Just starting a job search?
Click in and "Map Your Current Career Path," "Discover How Long Your Money Will Last," or "Update LinkedIN As Your Future Self."
Feeling "Overwhelmed" or "Stuck"?
50Ways is on the case, with assignments ranging from "Sit Quietly in a Room for 45 Minutes" (it's about unplugging and relaxing) and "Help 5 People" to "Remove all Tolerations" (we all have them; I just didn't know what they were called.)
The site, Ajila explains, "is set up as a linear list of 50, but once you begin doing the exercises you will see how interrelated they all are. There is no linear way to find a job and there is no 'right' path through the site. Find something that resonates with you, take ten minutes, turn off your computer and do the work."
Once you've moved on to applying for jobs and interviewing, missions still abound. Thought-provoking, action-packed, reflective and interactive, the 50Ways map to finding meaningful work offers activities for every mood or state of mind.
This is not, Aujla emphasizes, the path to employment that the media showcases. The exercises outlined were tested and researched over a three-year period. Choose one step, choose three or do all 50.
As Aujla says, "there are tools and exercises for everyone. Whether you are in a job currently and are unhappy or have been unemployed or under-employed for a year there are steps that will help you build momentum and meet the person that will hire you."
Now that's a plan we can get on board with.

Spafford, the man who was killed after police say he robbed a Madison Park bank with a fake gun yesterday. Spafford died of multiple gunshot wounds. His death has been ruled a homicide. Seattle police Assistant Chief Paul McDonagh identified robbery unit Detective Jim Rogers as the one who shot Spafford after Spafford "charged" at him with a knife. Rogers, a 15-year veteran of the department, has been involved in two prior on-duty shootings, McDonagh said. UPDATE, 3 p.m.:| The man who was fatally shot by a Seattle police detective had used a toy handgun to rob a Wells Fargo bank branch, police said during a news conference this afternoon. The suspect wore "lots of makeup," a fake nose, a dark wig and women's clothing, according to police. They said he brandished a handgun during the robbery and told witnesses inside the bank that he would kill them if he heard police sirens, police said. During the subsequent search, officers spotted the suspect running onto the roof of a detached garage. As the suspect ran across the garage, away from officers and out of view, a detective scaled a wall adjacent to the garage to get to higher ground and a better view. As the detective climbed the wall, he saw the suspect standing nearby, holding a large, fixed-blade knife, police said. The detective repeatedly ordered the man to drop the knife, but the man refused, police said. A lieutenant at the scene called for officers with Tasers to respond to a courtyard area. However, the suspect ran toward the detective "brandishing" the knife and closed to within 15 feet of the detective. The detective fired his rifle several times, striking the suspect. The suspect died at the scene. Police released this bank surveillance photo of the bank robber. (Seattle police photo). ORIGINAL POST:| A Seattle man who allegedly robbed a Madison Park bank dressed as a woman and was then fatally shot by Seattle police Thursday has been identified by law-enforcement sources as Cody Spafford. Spafford, 26, has no history of violent crime, according to court records. Spafford was a sous chef at the restaurant The Walrus and the Carpenter in Ballard. He had worked at the restaurant for about four years and was planning to move to New York later this month. His colleague, Chad Dale, said in an email this morning: "Cody was a beloved member of our family. He was hard-working, unassuming and kind. He was talented beyond his years, and was only beginning to explore the many opportunities before him. "He was a well-trusted employee and friend," Dale said. "We do not know the circumstances that led to this apparent act of desperation, but we know it was not him. His was a life taken tragically and far too soon. Our hearts are broken." The Walrus and the Carpenter said on its Facebook page that they will be closed tonight "so that we may mourn the loss of a dear and beloved friend." Spafford's criminal record includes a conviction for felony possession of marijuana out of Sherman County, Ore., a case that resulted in him serving part of his probation under Washington Department of Corrections (DOC) supervision after he moved here. Spafford also had convictions for misdemeanor theft, drug possession and failure to stop upon command of law enforcement in Utah. Norah West, DOC spokeswoman, said Spafford was supervised by community corrections staff in their Northgate office from June 2011 until May of last year. Seattle police say a robbery detective shot Spafford because the man was armed with a knife. One law-enforcement source said he ran at police with the knife. Additional details about the shooting, as well as the name of the detective, are expected to be released during a news conference this afternoon. Law-enforcement sources said today that Spafford was armed with a gun during the robbery. Police say a man dressed in a skirt, heavy makeup and a brunette wig robbed the Wells Fargo branch in Madison Park, near East Madison Street and McGilvra Boulevard East, around 9:15 a.m. The alleged robber took off in a silver Hyundai with an undisclosed amount of cash. Two women, who declined to identify themselves, said they were out for a walk when they saw the car speed by them on McGilvra. They said the driver was rubbing what appeared to be heavy black eyeliner off his face. Moments later the Hyundai crashed and rolled over at 39th Avenue East and East John Street. A man was seen running from the vehicle, dragging a rolling suitcase, police said. Witnesses also told police the fleeing man was shedding clothes as he ran, police said. Police spokesman Mark Jamieson said the robbery detective spotted the suspect in the yard of a home in the 100 block of 39th Avenue East. Jamieson said the suspect was armed with a knife that he refused to drop. The detective fired because the man "presented a threat," police said. Police did not immediately say whether the suspect lunged at police or made some other threatening move. Authorities say the suspect, since identified by police sources as Spafford, died at the scene.

A gorgeous woman from L.A, whom I connected with earlier this year, by our mutual love of all things sacred feminine, sensuality & sacred sexuality, tantra. iX-Chel is a fully embodied priestess & women's empowerment coach, blazing the way for exquisite feminine freedom. Today I invited her to speak into the power of being a womb centred woman connected to our menstrual cycle, the importance of this connection in connection to the feminine & to our sacred sexuality.
Guest Post by iX-Chel Sandivel
It was 2009 at Burning Man and I had just walked into my first moon lodge tipi for women on their moon cycle. It was a surreal, still and sacred space that I had already dreamed of, but had somehow forgotten. I had never experienced this in the physical realm before, yet there was something ancient and familiar about it. I felt like I had time traveled into a different dimension in which this ritual was already a regular part of my life.
This tipi provided a space for women on their moon to rest, relax, and restore themselves during their most powerful time of the month. Women were lying around, napping, reading women's empowerment books and sharing nurturing wisdom in soft whispers. The energy was so yummy and super feminine it just burst my heart and womb wide open. Little did I know that I was moments away from hearing my first lecture on the powerful wisdom encoded in a woman's moon cycle, especially when all the women in a tribe honor this sacred time portal together. The woman leading the talk was one of the most beautiful elder women I had ever seen. Next to her were her recommended books on women's empowerment. Amongst these precious books, I saw a photo of her holding an eagle. This wild woman was something else!
It was in this sacred tipi that I first received the downloads about how women back in the tribal days would bleed together, synchronized to each other and to the new or full moon. It was only during this time (up to 3 days) that they were excused from daily responsibilities like food preparation and child rearing. Imagine that worldwide today, 3 billion women taking 3 days off a month! This was a time of deep feminine restoration and receptivity. The first three days of a woman's bleeding was a time when they would come together as a feminine collective to receive visions for their whole tribe for the next 28 day lunar cycle. This was the time when their psychic abilities and intuition was the clearest and strongest. Learning about this all made sense to my body, sprit, and emotions. This knowledge was re-awakened within me and since then I have been cultivating and embodying a sacred relationship with my moon cycle. I am forever grateful for receiving my first moon priestess downloads from the amazing elder Priestess Laurel Kitten, who I would link to if she wasn't so under the radar.
Embodying the wisdom encoded in my moon cycle has been quite a journey. Before I share my most recent moon rituals and related stories, I want to share with you a life changing moon story that happened before my conscious divine feminine moon awakening. It illustrates that the power and wisdom of the moon is available to us whether we believe in it, or are conscious of it, or not.
This moon story is about one of the most pivotal times in my life as a self-healer and elite runner! It was 2006 and I was running along a river in Northern Italy. In the middle of my 8 mile run, I was in so much pain and agony, I had to stop. It was a kind of pain that I had never experienced in my 30,000 mile plus competitive long distance running career. A pain that I will always remember because it was the first pain that I couldn't run through, despite my high pain tolerance. I was running on my moon cycle, which was quite ordinary for me as a competitive runner, to run on my period. The thought of stopping because I was in pain was foreign and weird. During these highly competitive days, I only stopped during my run if I came to a red light or had to use the bathroom. This kind of masculine competitive mentality was taking over my life. I had been injured for 4 years and my masculine self had me running through pain, therefore never fully healing and restoring myself, which was stopping me from achieving my goals. This happened before I had my divine feminine moon awakening and discovered the power and wisdom of the moon cycle.
My moon was shouting at me and telling me to stop and restore myself. My body was exhausted by always "doing" and literally running after goals and was now telling me that it was time to simply "be", and embrace myself fully as a woman and not just an athlete. On my moon, I claimed for the very first time, no longer being a victim of my own circumstances. The intense pain I was experiencing from the poor decision of having for so long not listened to my body, and having run through so many other pains, left me feeling a lack of deep feminine restoration.
I stopped for a few moments and repeated to myself that I was no longer a victim of my circumstances and that I would heal and restore my body so I would qualify to compete in nationals the following year (After four years of struggling with other running related injuries I had just one year left of college to finally make it to nationals). It was at that moment that I invoked the enhanced power of manifestation available to a woman on her moon cycle, whether she is aware of it or not. I told myself that as soon as I passed a specific tree that I picked out in my minds eye, 100 feet ahead of me, I would no longer experience any pain. I started running towards the tree as if in a dream and as soon as I crossed the designated tree portal I felt like I had run through a vortex into a bubble of a billion possibilities. My pain completely disappeared and was replaced by a feeling of ecstasy and empowerment. It was like I had stepped into a fantasy movie!
I would only fully understand this moment 3 years later after my moon lodge tipi initiation and miraculously with the power of intuition, intention, and menstruation I manifested a restorative and strong body. The following year while on my moon cycle I qualified for nationals in the 10,000 meters, which was something unheard of for someone being injured for 4 years straight. Although I wasn't aware about the potent power available during my moon at this time, I remember this day vividly and clearly as I reflect on my moon journeys.
In that pivotal running moment on my moon, it was clear to me that I needed to take full responsibility for my body, healing, and feminine restoration. The moon cycle is a time for women to look at what's hurting them in their lives so that they can make responsible choices for themselves whether it's dietary, spiritual, lifestyle and/or physical activity upgrades. This kind of honoring and restoring is beyond anything else I've experienced in terms of manifestation, restoration, and healing potency. My connection and relationship to the moon cycle continues to refine itself over time. It feels like alchemy, transmuting the base metal of pain into the gold of potent insight, intuition, healing and pleasurable restoration. Some rituals stay the same while others expand into more specific and refined rituals.
My rituals can be as simple as taking the first day off for myself and doing whatever it is the wisdom of my body and intuition feels I need to do during this time. Other rituals include rose baths, having my favorite raw chocolate and treats, turning off my phone, writing and more. To see the 13 rituals I usually do on the first day of my moon please watch this video I created for this post: "What to do on the first day of your period/ moon cycle" (will email link in a few minutes). Check it out and drop your comments below the video!
Connecting to my moon cycle is connecting to my deepest essence of who I am as a woman; an emotional, physical, spiritual and mental body all deeply connected to an effortless intelligence that understands what is best for my evolution as a woman embodying the wisdom of her moon cycle. When I shifted my perspective about my moon cycle, everything shifted, including my sexuality. I went from dreading a painful time, to looking forward to the most ecstatic time ever, that I now call "moonstacy = (moon + ecstasy)."
One of my most memorable sexual healing experiences, happened during my moon cycle. It must have been the power of combining two taboo subjects; sex and blood. Earlier this year after a several month period of intentional celibacy, while I was on my moon, it totally hit me like a bolt of lightning that I needed to have sex, NOW! And so on my moon I had one of the most exquisite love making sessions ever with a new lover. Asking my friend and soon to be lover, that I needed a particular kind of love and exchange with him, was one of the most intimate and vulnerable things I have ever done. Since then we've become best friends and are now diving into having a deep tantric union and relationship. To read more about this "moonstacy" episode, click here.
What this all bleeds down to, is this; Women can transform painful periods into powerful & ecstatic moon cycles, period! If you're a goddess ready to make this shift, or a knight ready to support it, congratulations! Starting December 28th, I'm leading a 3-month group coaching program for women!

Movie Review: Shamitabh
SHAMITABH is a fitting tribute to the Indian film industry and the pride of position that Amitabh Bachchan's baritone has in it. One couldn't agree more with Bachchan when he says, "yeh awaaz ek kutte ke munh se bhi achchi lagegi". Daanish (Dhanush) dreams of making it big as an actor in Bollywood despite being dumb. Akshara Haasan an AD to a hot shot director notices him, sympathize with his struggle and helps him. To find out how Amitabh Sinha (Bachchan) comes into the scene and under what circumstances he becomes Dhanush's voice, you have to watch the film.
Whenever the best of Bollywood and South Indian cinema have collaborated, the result has been more than encouraging. Shamitabh follows the same route. Director R. Balki creates an original idea but falters in his direction. The film begins and ends well but it hardly recovers from the lackluster middle portion. Also the film has quite a few sophisticated references which the masses may find hard to identify with. (For instance how many of you know or remember that Rohini Hattangadi played Gandhiji's wife in the Oscar winning film Gandhi).
Bollywood has never been skilled enough to handle science and technology, and Shamitabh suffers because of it. You must make a conscious effort to overlook the technical inaccuracies in order to enjoy the film, which is asking for too much in today's time.
Acting is the only department where the film excels. It's almost unbelievable that you never get to hear Dhanush's voice in the film yet his performance strikes a chord. Anyone who can carry off the Bachchan baritone without showing an iota of incompetence is worthy of heavy praise. Dhanush is the perfect actor to carry forward the legacy of Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan. Speaking of Kamal Haasan, his youngest daughter Akshara makes her debut in this film. She has a charismatic screen presence and comes off as 'different' in her demeanor, which is a positive sign. And finally what to say about Mr. Bachchan, he is just pure magic. Ilaiyaraaja's music has a life and class of its own.
Final Verdict
DAANISH+AMITABH= SHamitabh OR shAMITABH, that is the question. An 'original' movie, which falls short of being a classic. Nevertheless a good watch.

Indigo's eReading venture, Shortcovers is set to launch at the end of the month. Over at Index//MB, Mark Bertils' shares his first reactions.
The site will provide both online and mobile access to eBooks—and looks like they will support ePub. It's being driven by the changing habits of consumers, according to CIO Michael Serbinis' blog:
People are reading on screens, more frequently, and in shorter sessions. They expect to be able to engage with the content, the author and other readers. They expect to be able to sample, not unlike browsing in a physical store. They are increasingly time starved, and time slicing—being able to access media, and discover what they want, anytime & anyplace.
This idea is what gave rise to Shortcovers, a new digital destination we are launching in a few weeks.
Curious? Me too. I'm hoping all will be shared at the BNC Technology Forum in March when Michael Serbinis takes the stage.

Sharks shot down by classy Cowboys
The newly-formed Hemel Cowboys delivered an impressive display on the court as they beat local rivals Hemel Sharks 48-38.
The Cowboys – who only came together as a team in January – started the game well and their man-to-man defence seemed to catch the Sharks by surprise in the opening stages.
Despite this it was the Sharks who took a first quarter lead – before the Cowboys turned the game on its head in the second stanza.
The Sharks had subbed off a number of their best ball handlers, and those that came on court were making loose passes, ball handling errors, and looked instantly under pressure from the Cowboys' man marking.
The Sharks' defence got pulled out of place and they missed several good opportunities to score – allowing the Cowboys to open up close to a 20-point lead.
Half-time couldn't come quick enough for the Sharks, but they regrouped at the interval and began to come back into the game at the start of the third quarter.
It became a real contest, and the Sharks started to nullify the Cowboys' three-point shooters, who were their main weapon in attack.
The Sharks were creating far more clear scoring opportunities, but they could not finish their chances.
The Cowboys played intelligently, looking to run the clock down as the Sharks hesitated, and their strong, organised and efficient play resulted in a deserved win.
The Cowboys squad was made up of: Adam Chaplin, Matt Klein, Ben Johnson, Greg Harvey, Carl Wingrove, and James Doyle.

Power to change
Posted by Ps. Jenny | | Posted On Monday, November 30, 2009 at 12:26 PM
I was in a Foursquare church, El Shaddai in Permatang Pauh yesterday. It was exciting to be worshipping with a whole group of Sabahans. Except for the pastor and wife, and Ps Henry and I, the rest were all from Sabah.
I have invited myself and our youths to go on a mission trip to this church on 31st January, 2010. Instead of flying to Sabah, we have Sabah just one and half hours journey away.
Will discuss with you all more about this. But just to get you all excited about what is in store next year.
Back to our Bible study on the book of Acts.
FAST FOOD - What is this got to do with the Holy Spirit?
Acts 13: 1-5
Oops, sorry!
It is not Fast Food but it is NOT FOOD = FAST
We read in verse that the Christians in Antioch were "serving the Lord and fasting".
Fasting doesn't just mean skipping a meal or not bothering to eat. It means giving over the time that you would have spent preparing and eating a meal to spend more time with God - praying, listening to God and reading the Bible.
If you have not fast before, take it slowly. Fast one meal at a time. Then extend to one day. You can have a Daniel's Fast which is meatless, or just water fast, or juice fast.
There may be other things that you can give up in order to concentrate on spending more time with God. Jot down here what they might be.
Ask the Holy Spirit to direct and guide you as you spend more time with God.

logistics officers at Kadena AB continue to support the largest combat
wing�s mission in the AF and still find time The logistics officers at
Kadena AB continue to support the largest combat wing�s to come together
for some fun and camaraderie. The
new LOA staff was �indoctrinated� in Nov 00 at a social/crud
tournament. The event was a
tremendous success with all members thoroughly enjoying themselves with
only minimal injuries. The
chapter members took some time from their busy schedules to celebrate the
Christmas holiday�s eating deserts and laughing through the traditional
�white elephant� exchange. The
�serious gifts� were a humorous surprise while the large dog
bone gift was the most desired! Through the middle of the Okinawan winter the entire 18th
Wing and Team Kadena concentrated 110% of their efforts on our
preparations for the HQ PACAF IRRI. After
numerous generation exercises the hard work paid off.
The wing efforts were rewarded with an Outstanding rating for
Generation/Regeneration by the inspection team�an outstanding tribute to
the Kadena maintainers! During
the month of Feb 01 the chapter said goodbye to their advisor, Col Kenneth
Emery, 18 LG/CC and welcomed Col Julsonnet moving into both the LG/CC
position and taking over as our advisor.
In addition, due to our nomination to the Installation Excellence
Award we were honored to have BGen Gabreski visit our base.
The LOA sponsored a logistics luncheon where she was able to
provide us some first hand input into current issues and the development
of the Chief of Staff Logistics Review.
The luncheon was a total success with 94 logisticians, both officer
and enlisted, in attendance.
During the month of April, the LOA�s primary focus was on the
annual Logistics Professional Awards Banquet.
The chapter provided the main planning workforce and leadership for
the banquet which was yet another success.
The event was supported by 940 logisticians from across the wing,
and there was no shortage of spirit with all squadrons demonstrating the
ability of projecting their squadron�s war cries.
Near the end of the month the LOA sponsored the logistics
officer�s call with the logistics officers spending the afternoon with
the 733rd Air Mobility Squadron. The 733rd leadership briefed on
their operations, providing the logistics officers some insight into
another diverse aspect of logistics operations.
The 733rd also provided the LOA members a �sneak
preview� in their new terminal building.
The building will have state of the art equipment greatly enhancing
their operations. During the
month of May the chapter sent a delegation of officers to Naha AB and the
83rd Wing to meet and interact with their JASDF counterparts.
The JASDF logistics officers were exceptional hosts providing the
US officers a look into the similarities
and difference of their operations. The
afternoon�s event ended with a social with the US officers experiencing
traditional Japanese food. Once
again the event was an outstanding success, with new friendships being
forged with our host officers. The
�Shogun Chapter� continues to strive to bring the many logistics
officers together to broaden the perspectives of all and to enjoy each
other�s camaraderie. The
chapter is looking forward to it�s remaining summer events,
and will prepare to bring in a fresh perspective and leadership with
it�s annual elections.

Officers Association is an officially-chartered Kadena Air Base organization.
We are a non-profit, non-commercial organization.

Nabou shares her hopeful story.
While the rate of tuberculosis (TB) in Canada is among the lowest in the world, roughly 9 million people are diagnosed globally every year and over one million die – most of them in developing countries like Senegal, where this project is based.
In fact, TB is second only to HIV and AIDS as the greatest killer worldwide due to a single infectious agent, largely because its symptoms can be mild for months, leading to delays in seeking care.
Fortunately, with your support, we've reached almost 200,000 people in Senegal with a campaign that is raising awareness of symptoms of TB and when and where to get help.
For 15-year-old Nabou, that has made all the difference.
Nabou and her parents did not realize just how sick she was. But thanks to one of over 6,000 community-based volunteers who've been trained thanks to your support, she was referred to a local health centre where she got the diagnosis and treatment she needed to recover.
"I thank Plan for saving my life," says Nabou, who is back to good health and speaking out so that others can get help too.

The oldest known wheel used for transportation was found by archaeologists in Mesopotamia. It is believed to date back to 3,500 B.C. However, wheels had been in use for hundreds of years before that to make pottery, as it is believed that potters' wheels existed since the Neolithic Era.
While the oldest wheel was found in Mesopotamia, modern day Iraq, linguistic evidence points to the Tripoyle people in modern day Ukraine, as words used to refer to wheels stem from the language of that culture. Also, the oldest drawings of wheels have been excavated in Poland, rather than the Middle East.
