Arsenal.com's International Watch reports back to base on those who have temporarily swapped the red of Arsenal for the colours of their national sides. Read on for the latest call-ups...
Robin van Persie
Luxemburg 0-1 Holland, September 2, Holland 3-0 Belarus, September 6
Robin van Persie was the inspiration as Holland bounced back from their poor performance against Luxembourg on Saturday to beat Belarus 3-0 in Rotterdam. The Arsenal forward scored twice and then set up Dirk Kuyt for a third goal in stoppage time. Van Persie broke the deadlock after 32 minutes, hammering a shot into the net after Wesley Sneijder's corner kick was cleared to the edge of the box. A well-placed shot brought Van Persie his second 12 minutes from time and he picked out Kuyt to wrap up a comfortable win.
Thierry Henry, William Gallas
Georgia 0-3 France, September 2, France 3-1 Italy, September 6
Thierry Henry scored for the second successive game and William Gallas provided an assist as France exacted some measure of revenge on Italy when this year's World Cup finalists met again at the Stade de France. Fifty-nine days after losing out on penalties to the Azzurri in Berlin, Raymond Domenech's side eased to victory thanks to Henry's strike and a double from Sidney Govou. Govou broke the deadlock after just two minutes, volleying home Gallas' cross. Henry doubled France's lead from a narrow angle after Florent Malouda's shot had been blocked. Alberto Gilardino reduced the deficit but Govou sealed victory with a header.
Freddie Ljungberg
Latvia 0-1 Sweden, September 2, Sweden 3-1 Liechtenstein, September 6
Freddie Ljungberg missed a penalty but still captained his side to a narrow victory against Group F minnows Liechtenstein. The Arsenal midfielder fired a late spot-kick wide but it proved academic as Sweden maintained their 100 per cent record after two matches. Marcus Allbäck opened the scoring but the hosts were stunned when Mario Frick fired past Rami Shaaban before half time. Allbäck restored Sweden's advantage with 20 minutes remaining and Markus Rosenberg clinched the points with a minute left, shortly after Ljungberg's penalty miss.
Tomas Rosicky
Czech Republic 2-1 Wales, September 2, Slovakia 0-3 Czech Republic, September 6
Tomas Rosicky wore the captain's armband and played the full 90 minutes as the Czech Republic eased to a 3-0 victory over Slovakia. Libor Sionko scored two first-half goals in Bratislava and set up another for Jan Koller to send the Czechs clear of their rivals at the top of Group D. Sionko struck after 10 and 21 minutes to put the visitors in charge before Koller added a third midway through the second half. The Czech Republic face San Marino in their next Euro 2008 qualifier on October 7.
Cesc Fabregas
Spain 4-0 Liechtenstein, September 2, Northern Ireland 3-2 Spain, September 6
Cesc Fabregas came off the bench after 29 minutes but could not stop Northern Ireland completing a shock victory over Spain at Windsor Park. The Arsenal midfielder replaced David Albelda with the score at 1-1 and, after going close himself, picked out David Villa with a precise through-ball as the Valencia striker restored Spain's lead after 52 minutes. A Spain victory looked on the cards but David Healy equalised with his second goal of the night and then lobbed Iker Casillas with 10 minutes left to complete his hat-trick and condemn Fabregas and company to an unexpected defeat.
Alex Hleb
Belarus 2-2 Albania, September 2, Holland 3-0 Belarus, September 6
Alexander Hleb played a full 90 minutes as Belarus slipped to a 3-0 defeat in Holland. The Arsenal midfielder was at the hub of Belarus' most promising moves but could not find a way past the Dutch defence. Belarus have one point from their opening two Euro 2008 qualifiers after Albania held them to a draw at the weekend.
Jens Lehmann
Germany 1-0 Republic of Ireland, September 2, San Marino 0-13 Germany, September 6
Jens Lehmann played a full 90 minutes but had very little to do as Germany thrashed San Marino 13-0 - the biggest win in European Championship qualifying history. Lukas Podolski scored four times as Germany eclipsed Spain's 12-1 success against Malta in 1983, becoming only the second German to score four goals in a European Championships game after Gerd Müller's achievement against Albania in 1967. Miroslav Klose (2), Michael Ballack, Bastian Schweinsteiger (2), Thomas Hitzlsperger (2), Manuel Friedrich and Bernd Schneider were the other scorers.
Gilberto, Julio Baptista
Argentina 0-3 Brazil, September 3, Brazil 2-0 Wales, September 5
Julio Baptista and Gilberto were both in action as Brazil beat Wales in a friendly at White Hart Lane on Tuesday night. Arsenal's new signing played the first 78 minutes before he was substituted by Rafael Sobis. Gilberto, who started against Argentina on Sunday, came off the bench to replace Edmilson at half time. Baptista forced a good save from Paul Jones in the Wales goal in the first half but Brazil had to wait until the second half to break the deadlock. They took the lead after an hour when left back Junior Marcelo found the bottom corner with a 25-yard drive. Striker Vagner Love added a second on 74 minutes when he headed home from Cicinho's right-wing cross.

Mart Poom
Estonia 0-1 Israel, September 2
Mart Poom played the full 90 minutes as Estonia lost their second successive Euro 2008 qualifier, this time at home to Israel. Roberto Colautti struck in the eight minute a series of defensive errors allowed West Ham's Yossi Benayoun a path into the penalty area. His shot was parried by Poom and Colautti tapped in the only goal of the game.

Hey I painted my armor last night using the method that seems to be popular around here. for ESB armor. I used the chrome base no problem. then I liquidmasked off all the damage that I wanted. No problem. Then I sprayed two coats of Rustolem Spruce green and no problem. Not real dark but I figure that will be with the next color. Then i have sprayed two coats of the testors Med. Green and it just looks to light or yellowish for the ESB. is there another color I should add to it to darken it up some?
Thanks for help I will try to get pictures of it if I can.
Here you go.

RightScale CEO Michael Crandell recently explained to a journalist at The Register that "the hybrid cloud is a little bit like sex in high school — everybody is talking about it, but not everybody is doing it." While that may be true for the IT industry as a whole, Michael also rightly points out what we in the RightScale Professional Services trenches see everyday: The majority of RightScale customers (87%) are leveraging the services of two or more cloud providers, which are often a public cloud and a separate, single-tenant private cloud.
Our customers run the gamut from the classic "two guys in a garage" success story all the way up to large enterprises, and many have already started to look at the private cloud for a lot of different and interesting use cases. What was once seen as an interesting science project has now been proven as a viable (and scalable) IT delivery model. Some companies are building "IT vending machines" that allow their internal users to quickly spin up pre-configured software stacks for use in siloed test and development environments.
Others are using their private cloud in combination with one or more of the public cloud offerings to create a hybrid cloud in which workloads are assigned to one side of the fence or the other depending on the characteristics of the applications they are looking to deploy.
And as the cloud outages over the last year or so have sent companies searching for viable disaster recovery solutions, the hybrid cloud has proven time and again to be up to this task for many of our customers.
In my role within the Professional Services group, I have the opportunity to talk to lots of our customers, and the trend continues to point more and more down the private/hybrid path. And as each of these customers have their own distinctive application workloads, they also bring to the private cloud their own unique set of requirements, desires, hopes and dreams. And while we in Professional Services do our best to say yes (as opposed to our Sales guys, who *always* say yes :) ) there are technical considerations that need to be considered, along with the normal practical ones like budget and schedule.
The companies I see that are the most successful at building private clouds are doing it for a few typical reasons, the first of which is workload/infrastructure interaction. In this case, the private cloud is being built for a very specific workload, and the hardware being procured is appropriate for the task(s) at hand. For example, one of our customers has an application with very high CPU demands. To most efficiently handle this workload in their private cloud, they are purchasing high-end compute hardware that has the horsepower to service the high demand. While there are public cloud resources out there that might be able to handle the load (such as cluster compute, high bandwidth instances), the quantity of the data involved is also quite substantial, and the cost (and latency) of pushing this data around, along with the security complications of shipping this data across the public Internet, has shown that the public cloud is a more costly solution over the long run.
Other customers have applications that demand (well, "very strongly desire") high IOPS rates from their storage devices, and anyone who has run benchmark tests on the current selection of cloud-based storage systems knows that "your mileage may vary" doesn't just apply to your choice of automobile and driving style. In order to get a higher (and much more consistent) IOPS rate, some customers are building out their private cloud with solid-state drives (SSD) for the nodes that require super-fast reads and writes. For the other parts of their application with more pedestrian needs in regard to storage, they have more traditional disk subsystems in place, and launch nodes in the appropriate pool of resources (segregating by zone or cluster).
Still other customers are using the private cloud to meet their security compliance needs. Since all the data stays within their own infrastructure, and never even sniffs the public Internet, they are able to run cloud-based workloads that still meet all of their stringent regulations. Basically, if you can keep your packets local and eliminate the need for them to travel out into the Wild, Wild West of the public Internet, you are going to have happier packets and unhappier bad guys who are out looking for those packets.
All of these use cases, the considerations surrounding them, and lots of other related and relevant bits can be found in our recently published white paper on architectural best practices for designing private and hybrid clouds.
Much like sex in high school, the prospect of having a private or hybrid cloud can be exciting, but if you'd never done it before, it can be reassuring to have that mentor who can tell you what to expect. We're here when you need us. ;-)

Nearly two million people have passed through the turnstiles since Emirates Stadium opened its doors last July.
From the first person in at Dennis Bergkamp's testimonial to the final latecomer at the Premiership clash with Chelsea, a total of 1,838,152 have attended matches at Arsenal's new home. That's a 76 per cent increase on the total attendance during the final season at Highbury, when 1,044,266 took their seats over the course of the campaign.
Emirates Stadium has played host to 27 competitive Arsenal first-team fixtures this term and a further five matches: two FA Youth Cup ties, Bergkamp's testimonial and Brazil's international friendlies against Argentina and Portugal.
The average attendance for first-team fixtures is 59,837 with the overall average slightly lower at 57,442, essentially due to the smaller (albeit still impressive) crowds at Arsenal's FA Youth Cup ties against Cardiff City and Manchester United. The average attendance for Premiership matches alone is a healthy 60,045.
So which team attracted a record attendance to Emirates Stadium? United? Tottenham? Chelsea? In fact, the answer is Reading. A total of 60,132 fans made it to that match with just four fewer at the last-gasp 2-1 win against United, a game which highlighted the risk of leaving early.
The lowest attendance for a competitive first-team fixture at the Emirates is 56,761 for the FA Cup Fifth-Round tie with Blackburn. However, tickets for that game were only on sale for a couple of days because of its proximity to Arsenal's Fourth-Round replay victory at Bolton Wanderers.Emirates Stadium attendances Competition Number of games Total attendance Average attendance Premiership 19 1,140,863 60,045 UEFA Champions League 5 298,317 59,663 FA Cup 2 116,539 58,269 Carling Cup 1 59,872 59,872 FA Youth Cup 2 49,797 24,899 Internationals 2 118,764 59,382 Dennis Bergkamp Testimonial 1 54,000 54,000 Total 32 1,838,152 59,837 * 57,442 **

Cross-Pollination: Wheaton Farmers Market
Posted on March 22, 2012
Now entering its third year on campus, the Wheaton farmers market continues to be a destination, drawing staff, faculty, and students out of offices and dorm rooms alike for a bit of fresh air and social interaction. And, the market continues to offer artisanal breads, organic and locally-grown produce, home-cooked meals, and a few craft items in an eclectic sampling of seasonal and sustainable goods.
At the core of "farmers'" market is the ideal of the "buy local, buy fresh" campaign. This seems to be a "growing" movement in the New England region that harkens back to our strong farming history. Supporting the "buy local" mantra keeps money in the local economy through patronage of local businesses, farmers, and the hiring of local trades people who are equally vested in the community. A good market builds community and provides a genuine sense of wellness through the healthy, organic food choices, and connects people to their food. Knowing where your food comes from is second only to growing your own food.
I believe we have achieved that sense of wellness at the Wheaton farmers' market. "Rain or shine" the market unfolds each week. The set up begins in a predictable state of confusion. "Who's coming?" …"who's here?" …"where can I park?" …"where are my keys?" …"where's Rosa?" And, …"will someone chase down that umbrella that is blowing across the dimple?" After the chaos settles down, the spirit of the market shines.
Out of the farmers' market initiatives other things have grown! Less commonly known is the fact that a growing portion of dollars spent at the Wheaton market are used to support social causes. The Wheaton market has become a place for fund-raising, providing both entrepreneurial and philanthropic experience to students. More and more of our 'artisan vendors' are Wheaton students seeking to develop an idea, expand an initiative, share a skill, and support a club or a social cause. It truly is a giving place, and I venture to share some of these details in this newsletter.
It truly does "take a village." With that many thanks to you on behalf of all of the Wheaton market-eers.
Best, Bernice

I wouldn't. I have a gallon glass pickle jar that has been empty and washed for 3 years. Can still smell pickles when I take the top off. Bailey
I may be wrong, but I have a hard time believing that Lowes has food grade buckets.We live in Leominster (home of Plastican) and asked a former exec about the food grade vs non food grade. The difference (in their case) is how the bucket is handled after it is molded...the same plastic, the same mold...but are the workers wearing gloves? Are the buckets stacked/stored in such a way as to not pick up contamination?So, I'm sure the plastic is the same plastic as the "food grade" buckets...but I doubt our health inspectors (city or state) would accept them as food grade.deknow
A bucket is a bucket.....the important thing is it should be clean and sanitized before being used to store anything. It doesn't matter what material the bucket is made from.
I get all my buckets with lids from local bakeries. They get things like frosting and jelly filling in them.

Mephisto Men's Cap Vert Rust Leather - Mephisto Shoes often takes classic looks and updates them with advanced technology for better comfort and durability. This is certainly the case with the Mephisto Men's Cap Vert in Rust Leather. Based off of the traditional penny loafer, this unique slip-on also borrows from such styles as the moccasin and the boat shoe. Constructed from premium leather, the upper features moccasin detailing and a trim carefully stitched by hand. The main difference between the Mephisto Cap Vert and penny loafers of the past is the inclusion of Soft-Air technology. With Soft-Air technology, closed-cell latex foam is used in the midsole to provide plenty of soft cushioning. Air is injected into this foam material, so that all the pressure points on the foot are protected. The comfort provided by Soft-Air technology is further improved by the addition of the latex sole. The traction sole is designed to provide extra stability on a slippery boat deck or any other type of surface.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Yeah, getting onto that line is the most dangerous part especially because others may drop in above you from the skyline causing slides.
Then there are the potholes. I have not hit that line once this season and I don't intend to.
Its certainly doable though. Just a question of risk verses gain.
That line is fucking nuts. I was almost tempted to hit it just to cross it off the list last saturday mind you, but thought better of it. I mean if you sorta stay up in the trees for as long as possible i can see you getting away with it, but to come under the gondola is going to get you killed. A slide on that pulling you straight down into the creek? seems kinda daft. The lines that absolutely terrify me though are the people crossing back and forward at the dams or the dudes dropping in from (i assume) the schneider side rather than the yunomine side. I just cant get my head around that kind of risk taking for a bit of snow... PARTICULARLY when the whole resort is swimming in it anyways.
Anyways, keeping fighting the good fight. It doesnt encourage it, it discourages risk taking because it puts the risk front and center and forces you to address it directly. You now have objective information that you cant just ignore. Youre forced to use that in your evaluation whether its safe to ride that line and whether its now within your acceptable threshold. Without the information you will instead just assume its safe until proven otherwise (by a slide or something happening directly to you): "ive ridden it loads before! its never slid on me yet!"
The whole world seems to recognise that this is a key piece of information in decision making. Id also assume it carries more weight in decision making the less experience you have in the backcountry. And since these are really teh people that you want to be targeting (more experienced riders will be looking to corroborate the information with their own analysis), then theres absolutely no reason to not report it.
Keep fighting the fight. Maybe ask for some help to make those arguments from the dudes on the forum and the beneifts of this information being made to the general public. Also of course acknowledging that its an incredibly popular line, and it just seems to be getting more popular.
Whie i have your ear. A few weeks ago discovered the middle line bringing you out at Nagasaka. Any advice on it. Seems sketch getting into it, but the line itself seems okay. Big danger seems to be slides caused from people dropping off skyline (looks about 40-45 degree drop), and the creek bed on the left - lots of pot holes on it as you get lower down and if you do go left you might end up (as i did ) having to cross back on a very dodgy little snow bridge.
Fun line, but could always do with some history of events on it. My assumption is the most dangerous part of it is reaching it from the resort. But whilst on it, so long as youre aware of whats coming from the sides, youre pretty much golden (if you stay skiers right and avoid the temptation for the pow above the creek bed itself).
It was the place to be.
Just to update on our avalanche at Nozzie it was apparently caused by some Aussies who were riding beneath the hikage gondola.
That is out of bounds and very dodgy, there are also some nasty holes in that area. They broke a leg but were OK. It could have been far worse.
Everyone please be careful and if you do stray under ropes (which I don't advise) know the snow conditions and exactly where you are heading.
I also talked to staff again and I am trying to get them to put up avalanche warnings outside the gondolas and maybe put a warning inside each Gondola next to the adverts with something like the number of avalanches so far this year and people injured in them or lost out of bounds.
They need to do more to deter the people who know nothing, see tracks and blindly follow.
They are worried that they will be endorsing ducking ropes by putting up avalanche info.
Trying to get them to see if they don't its just a matter of time before we have a fatality.
Making changes is not proving to be easy.
Anyway the snow was amazing and I had a blast.
|No doubt nozzie is the place to be tomorrow. But locally the snow was deep & light, and untracked...and costs me nothing
|February is currently kicking the crap out of January. Aside the ridiculous first weekend of feb, the last two weekends have been solid. Tomorrow s going to be insane. If you can day trip it, its a good week to hit up nagano.

Yep Ippy, that would have been me.
@dreampow. the nitro is a board I had lusted after years ago so it will be nice to try it out. At best it will be a rock board, but who knows? a few years ago I picked up an 01 Burton BMC which was so good that I rode it more than my custom x!
People say the Experience is super stiff, but I don't find it to be so. It's got a huge nose rocker which is soft. That and the tail rocker means that it rides handles like a 56. The board is suuuuuper damp which is great for going fast, but not so good in pow
Rossi experience! hang on! i saw your deck on monday!
I remember it PRECISELY because its got the more nose, less tail, ride pow sticker on it, right? I was gonna ask spenser which one of his mates was in Japan.
I will check with my local buddy who rides pretty much every day up there,
broken legs heal at least.
Nice quiver supra, your going to sell the Nitro as well?
I hear the experience is super stiff?
Obviously good for technical lines and steeps.

Quite Upset with NIntegrate
I have been trying to evaluate a 4-dimensional integral by using
NIntegrate with Mathematica 4 w2k. The integrand and even the
integration limits are quite complicated (depending on int.
variables). The length of the integrand is around 2000 lines in the
If I don't play with any options of NIntegrate, It takes one day to
get one data point and gives very unreasonably weird values. By
setting, however, MaxPoints something like 100000 it is possible to
get faster results but still it seems that Mathematica couldn't handle
it. When I draw a figure from these data points, it appears very very
spiky such that it is even not possible to fit the curve. However, it
is supposed to be very smooth.
Should I accept that Mathematica can not handle such a
numerical integration or is there a way to make Nintegrate working
Thanks a lot,

Mike Shanin and the Ruckettes analyze the school transfer law ruling and allegations involving the Missouri Education Commisioner, as well as the approach opponents of a one-terminal KCI are taking to block changes.
The Missouri Supreme Court has affirmed the constitutionality of the school transfer law involving unaccredited districts. The Kansas City District is filing suit trying to block the action and attempting to show that the district was unfairly denied provisional accreditation status.
Related to our first topic, pressure is being applied to force the termination or resignation of State Education Commissioner Chris Nicastro. It's alleged she was working on a secret plan to create a statewide district (subsuming Kansas City) and of helping forces working to change state teacher tenure laws. Somehow, she has managed to incur the enmity of both Kansas City School District officials and the teachers union.
The Friends of KCI group is mounting a petition drive to force an election involving the future of the airport. The group's plan is for voters to enact a measure stating that no major changes can occur at KCI without voter approval.
Both major political parties had a tough year in 2013. President Obama is facing record low approval ratings and widespread criticism of the Affordable Care Act. Republicans continue their internecine struggles over policy and ideology, exemplified by the government shut down controversy. Mike Shanin and the Ruckettes offer their predictions for what lies ahead for both parties as we head into an election year.

Strike King KVD Perfect Plastics Rodent or Baby Rodent
Sale price: Clearance price: Starting at: Sale starting at: Clearance starting at: Reg. price:
Other than the big, meaty body, we don't know how these unique Softbaits got their names. After all, the Strike King® KVD Perfect Plastics Rodent and Baby Rodent's waving legs and dual tail flaps suggest a different kind of critter altogether. But there's no doubting that the Rodents will do a number on big bass. Strike King's level of detail is unmatched, and the profile and action will attract plenty of attention even in heavy cover. Jig it or rig it, and hold on tight! Strike King's Rodents are enhanced with real coffee bean granules and coffee bean oil to give the tubes an earthy tinge and a naturally strong scent/taste big bass are eager to slurp up. Not only does the coffee scent/flavor entice and encourage fish to hold the bite longer, it also works to mask human scents. They are salt-impregnated too!

Lesley alumna and trustee Carol Moriarty and her husband have pledged $1 million to the Threshold Program and the College of Art and Design.
Lesley Trustee and Alumna Carol Moriarty and her husband, John, recently made a $1 million gift to Lesley University to benefit both the Threshold Program and the construction of a new facility for the College of Art and Design.
With $500,000 each to Threshold and the College of Art and Design, the gift supports two important initiatives:
"This is a chance to give back to the university that's made a positive difference in my life," said Carol Moriarty. "For Threshold, I'm hoping we can improve an already outstanding program, and call attention to the important and inspiring work these students do. Each day, they strive to overcome personal challenges towards not just increased independence, but to contribute to the world around them."
"Relocation to Cambridge does so much more than provide a new facility for students," she said, "but truly unites a university, bringing the vibrancy of the arts to all Lesley students, and to the Cambridge community. The new [Arts Center] will energize Lesley and the larger community, and we're proud to be a part of it."
"This is a remarkable gift that will benefit not only students of [the College of Art and Design] and Threshold, but the entire university community," said Joseph B. Moore, President of Lesley University. "We're grateful for Carol and John's philanthropy, but also for their personal engagement with the Lesley community, their expertise, counsel and ongoing friendship."
Carol Moriarty served as a University Corporator from 1992 until her appointment to the Board of Trustees in 2002. An active alumna since earning her B.S. in Elementary Education in 1974, she was a teacher for many years outside Chicago and later in Boston. Kate Moriarty, their daughter, earned her Master's in Special Education, Moderate Special Needs, in 2010.
"I'm both grateful and not at all surprised at Carol and John's support of our work," said Jim Wilbur, Director of the Threshold Program at Lesley University. "The Moriartys are terrific advocates for the work we do, but also take a personal interest – they are frequent visitors and enjoy participating with students in trips and activities. Their generosity will make a profound difference in the experience of future students – and their friendship to students and the program is inspiring."
"Over a third of all Lesley students are engaged in the arts – whether as College of Art and Design students, or in the fields of Creative Arts in Learning or Expressive Therapies – and the integration of students, faculty, events and energy has transformed the experience of all of Lesley's students," said Stan Trecker, Dean of the College of Art and Design. "The Moriarty's support moves us closer to completing that integration by creating a single Cambridge campus for making, sharing and discovering the arts."Spring 2011

Now this might sound nit picky but I am getting tired on the big arcs in Batman that have villains targeting Batman. Batman became a superhero to fight crime, but when all the big stories are about how criminals are targeting him, then it perpetuates the myth that without Batman you wouldn't have such drastic crime (which I would argue against).
Killing Joke: Targets Jim Gordon and Babs
Death in the Family: Targets Jason Todd
Knightfall: Targets Bruce Wayne
Fugitive: Targets Bruce Wayne
Tower of Babel: Targets JLA
Hush: Targes Bruce Wayne again
Death of the Family: Targets Bat Family
And I think thats why I appreciate tales that are about Batman's journey to save crime from criminals that hurt innocents. Year One, No Man's Land, and my all time favorite story Justice all touch on these things. I just think you can get a personal story out of a story about a superhero stopping a supervillain from committing a crime not directed at the superhero.
For example in Batman Fugitive, Bruce was framed for murder. Why? To target Bruce! While a converse story Mask of the Phantasm (the movie) a villain who has a costume kinda similar to Batman's was killing off people, and people thought it was Batman committing those murders due to the similar costumes. One story was circular (Batman exists, crime was made because Batman exists), while another one was how Batman was fighting crime and it just so happens that it also reflected on him.

Senate Bill No. 116
(By Senators Jenkins and McCabe)
[Introduced February 13, 2013; referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.]
A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated §61-3-59, relating to crimes against property involving graffiti; defining offenses and a term;
establishing misdemeanor and felony criminal penalties; providing for mandatory court-approved community service; permitting court-ordered restitution; providing for suspension of driver's license in certain circumstances; providing that if an offender does not have a driver's license that person may be temporarily prohibited from applying for one; providing that affected property owners may institute a civil action to recover damages in an amount up to three times the loss or the cost of restoration, attorneys' fees and costs; and providing that civil liability is not precluded by criminal penalties.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated §61-3-59, to read as follows:
§61-3-59. Graffiti; definition; penalties; restitution; driver's license suspension; damages recoverable in a civil action.
(a) As used in this section, "graffiti" means any unauthorized inscription, word, figure or design that is marked, etched, scratched, drawn or painted on any real or personal property.
(b) A person who places graffiti on public or private property, real or personal, of another, without the permission of the owner is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, for a first offense, may be confined in jail not less than twenty-four hours nor more than six months or fined not more than $1,000, or both fined and confined. For a second offense, the person is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, may be confined in jail not less than forty-eight hours nor more than six months or fined not more than $2,000, or both fined and confined. For third and subsequent offenses, the person is guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, may be confined in a correctional facility for not less than one nor more than three years or fined not more than $10,000, or both fined and confined.
(c) Any conviction for a violation of subsection (b) of this section for an offense which occurred more than ten years prior to the date of arrest in a current proceeding, that previous conviction may not be considered for the purposes of imposing a sentence under that subsection relating to a second, third and subsequent offense.
(d) The court may, in addition to any other fine or penalty imposed, order a person who violates this section to pay restitution.
(e) A person convicted under this section shall be sentenced to not less than one hundred twenty hours of court-approved community service. The court may order the person to repair, replace, or clean up the property damaged or destroyed by the person or any other public or private property, with approval of the owner, that is located in the county where the offense occurred.
(f) If a person who is less than eighteen years of age is found guilty of violating this section, the court may, in addition to any other penalty imposed, issue an order suspending the driver's license of the person for not more than two years. If the person does not possess a driver's license, the court may issue an order prohibiting the person from applying for a driver's license for not less than six months and not more than two years. The court shall, within five days after issuing the order, forward to the Division of Motor Vehicles any licenses together with a copy of the order.
(g) A criminal penalty imposed pursuant to this section is in addition to any civil penalty or other remedy available pursuant to this section or another statute for the same conduct.
(h) The owner of public or private property that has been damaged by graffiti may bring a civil action against the person who placed the graffiti on the property. The court may award to the property owner damages in an amount up to three times the amount of any loss in value to the property or up to three times the cost of restoring the property plus attorney's fees and costs, or both.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to make it a crime
to place graffiti on real and personal property. The bill defines the offenses and a term.
The bill establishes misdemeanor and felony criminal penalties
. The bill provides for suspension of driver's license in certain circumstances. The bill provides for sentencing of community service. The bill provides that
affected property owners may institute a civil action for recovery of damages in an amount up to three times the loss or the cost of restoration, attorneys' fees and costs. The bill provides that civil liability is not precluded by criminal provisions.
This section is new; therefore, strike-throughs and underscoring have been omitted.

School of Health, PE & Social Services
Mission Statement
Our foremost mission is to foster superior levels of educational participation and academic success among our students, and, in so doing, enable them to acquire the necessary job skills to attain entry-level positions in the fields of health care or fitness. The School of Health, Physical Education, and Social Services collaborates with Bay Area hospitals and other health care institutions to ensure that, upon completion of study, our students are prepared to respond to the current community health concerns.
The School of Health, Physical Education, and Social Services was founded in 1993 during a major re-organization of City College's departments and programs.

Hello all,
I am an employee at a private school in a city just outside of Seoul in South Korea (and have been for the last 6 months or so). Put simply, I have a very easy question that I'm hoping you'll be able to answer.
I have heard from others and read elsewhere online that it is possible (so long as you have 100 hours or more teaching experience) to put the teaching experience you do have towards gaining (either in full or part) a TEFL Qualification from certain qualification boards.
Does anyone know if there is any truth in this? And if so, how does one go about it ?
I really appreciate your help in advance, thank you!

Junya Watanabe Spring 2013
While watching Junya Watanabe's faster-than-the-speed-of-light spring show, where everything flashed by with graphic precision in the blink of an eye, a thought popped up: When reviewing, do not, under any circumstances, mention the following: "modern," "futuristic," or "athletic." And yet, unfortunately (but really fortunately, because Watanabe gave a powerful performance) those were precisely the words that sprang to mind when considering his fast-and-furious elevation of laboratory-fresh synthetics into intricately paneled and pieced godeted skirts, draped and layered tanks, and jacket-dresses, that curious-yet-chic new hybrid that has been appearing on a few of the runways of this city's more clever and considered designers. He opened with second-skin long-sleeved tops and leggings geometrically blocked in the likes of rust, orange, gray, and dark green, the graphic placement of the lines creating some kind of exoskeleton effect and a sense of articulation; long-term Watanabe admirers might find they call to mind an exceptional collection from the mid-nineties that fused insectology with colored plastics and menswear-suiting fabrics.
Watanabe next sent out black or white dresses whose contrast banding had, incongruously, an almost Art Nouveau–like quality to them, and then, in kaleidoscopically quick array, neon orange, acid green, cobalt, and searing red long-line tanks with circular cutouts, parkas with hoods rolled into collars with an elegance redolent of early sixties couture, and skirts whose volume would explode with a highly controlled rigor into a million little fans and flurries. To close, black tailored pieces—coats and the aforementioned jackets—that could be worn as dresses, should you wish, and brilliant, twisted second-skin LBDs, whose taut draping gave a sense of the dresses being in motion.
Everything was teamed with Puma sneakers, and, in fact, the appearance of the leaping big cat on some of the clothes (a game of Spot the Panther ensued) confirmed that Watanabe is now collaborating with the German sports brand. That's one good reason for his leap into referencing active sportswear. As to whether Watanabe did all this because he was glued to the 2012 London Olympics back home in Japan, who can say, but it's unlikely—though given the playfully tongue-in-cheek perversity that he's not averse to every now and then, it would strike the right note if Watanabe decided to have his athletic wear in stores a whole six or so months after the games. More realistically, he too has caught the coming season's sense of urgency around clothes that feel performative in real and meaningful ways to women in their everyday lives. If you happen to be feeling the same way, you're in luck here, because Watanabe's versions were thoroughly winning.

Weight loss is a very hot fitness topics because so many people want to lose weight or renew their resolution for weight loss. Losing weight is definitely not a walk in the park. Read on for some ways to make weight loss a little easier.
A great tip to shed some pounds is to do cardiovascular exercises when you wake up before you have breakfast. Research has shown this fashion will burn 300% more than doing your exercise at some other time of day.
A calorie journal will help you want to lose weight. This strategy has helped many people successfully eat each day and also encourages you to make healthier food choices. Even though exercising is definitely needed to lose weight, the best way to lose weight is to eat a healthy diet.
A good way to lose some weight is to go for a hike. This will help you to burn calories while losing weight as well. The more intense the hike, the bigger amounts of calories you will use.
You can stick to your diet even at work or family events. Choose vegetables and fruits instead of high calorie entrees. This way you to enjoy all of the party and have a good time without compromising your weight. Don't announce your diet plans or make it a big deal about your diet while at the party; just work around it.
A great weight loss technique is to not eat before bed. When you eat before bed, it will sit in your stomach and not burn off. Try reading so that you will not be tempted to eat a good book instead of eating.
This will help keep you motivated when it comes to reaching your goals.
Rewarding yourself for good behavior on a diet is an important part of dieting. Treat yourself to a movie, running shoes or a treatment at a nearby spa.
Eat with a companion instead of alone to reduce the amount you eat. Eating alone gives you nothing to focus on cleaning our plates.
Your weight loss goals must be realistic. If your goals are unrealistic, it won't be met. If you also try to drop a large amount of weight in an unrealistically short period of time, then you are not giving yourself enough time to reach this goal and you will mostly fail. Instead of setting such an unrealistic goal, you should create goals you can reach every week or so.Don't look at the long run just yet. Concentrate on your weight loss instead.
Track steps with a pedometer when you want to drop some weight. You should be taking at least 10,000 steps a day. If you know the number of steps you are taking, try challenging yourself to walk more. Every step helps you get closer to reaching your ultimate weight loss goals.
This will allow you determine how effective your weight loss goal is. Keep the numbers logged in a notebook so you can track your progress over time. People who track their weight loss results.
Make it a rule to eat at the same time each day. This will help your body to get into a routine so you don't eat at odd hours. Try and schedule your snacks.
Plan meals before hand to be more success with a diet. Planning your meals helps you avoid last-minute food impulses.Make sure you adhere to your prescribed meal plan. If you'd like to switch the days in which you eat certain meals, that's fine, instead of replacing a meal with an unhealthy trip to a fast food restaurant. You can burn some calories through cooking your food.
Working out with a friend is very beneficial when trying to lose the excess weight. This will provide you to become more motivated at the gym and also helps you work toward your goals. The boost of adrenaline from exercising with a buddy can improve your efficiency.
Even if you are required to sit down a lot, active walking breaks that go up and down the stairs can boost weight loss and prevent weight gain.
If you are not happy with your current physical standing, then be thankful you found this article. Out of the things you have learned, be sure to remember the ones you find to be most useful in your journey.

Although the media continues reporting the phenomenal economic growth of China, it still remains a nation containing about 900,000,000 people who live in rural areas. Latest figures indicate rural Chinese earn an average of about $546 compared to the approximate $1800 earned by urban workers. There continues to be growth in rural incomes, but even as they increase, the gap continues to widen. But, inability to create a more dramatic rural growth adds other burdens to China. More and more rural people migrate to urban areas in search of a better life which increases demands for farm products although fewer and fewer people are farmers. China's greatest deficit is in the amount of money allocated for farm production, it lags behind the effort made by many other societies.
An effective strategy that would aid China is pouring massive amounts of money to improve education and medical facilities in rural China. That, together with allocating much more funds for science and technological developments for the agricultural sector might reduce the flow of migrants to urban areas which are growing at a dramatic rates and raising ecological and human problems.

So happy to work with Style Weekend Magazine of the Manila Bulletin and it's Editor-in-Chief Liza Ilarde once again. This time, it's for the cover story of the magazine featuring the recently-married Ian King and Joey Mead. Ian and Joey are good friends and I'm so grateful they welcomed us back to their home (we shot the Oli Pettigrew interview there also). With these two, it never feels like work; it's always a reunion of old friends!
Watch and see the challenges of shooting on location once again, this time in a relatively smaller space. Many thanks to the couple for allowing us to turn their home into a studio, rearranging their furniture, bringing in equipment, and invaded practically every inch of their living space.

I did a search of the forums, but didn't come up with much definitive.
Is there a good tutorial out there on teh Wacky World Web that explains how to construct Gauntlets (either Jango or Boba) from Cintra (sp), and doesn't require vacu-forming? (while I would love a vac rig, its not a reasonable possibility right now..)
Any help would be appreciated..

Would this be a suitable girth belt:
It can be found at http://www.redgumsaddlery.com.au if you go to Girths, Leathers & Irons. It is listed as Corded English Style Girth - 2 Buckle End.
It says that it is brown but I reckon it looks close to the right colour. What are your thoughts?

Hey this is my first post...looking t make my first set of armor...stuck between jango and boba armor types...any suggestions about which would be best?
I'm leaning towards jango just because there is less wear and tear on the armor and I don't think I'm ready for that level of detail..
I'm looking for advice in the best way to go about this..
I was thinking pepakura for the helmet (I've had a little experience with this before)
But when it comes to gauntlets, I was wondering if the boba ones on the pepakura wiki would work for a jango build..
Also when working with the armor templates (thank you) what is the best material to work with for a first timer?
Any suggestions would be great...I've been looking around the forum for a couple days and I've had a little success finding stuff but could use help with the gauntlets specifically

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by overedge, Mar 15, 2011.
Oh, sigh.
imagine how much she will sue for if Lucia becomes a stripper
19K? Dude, that's cheap.
That's disgusting! She paid $19000 for a school for her four year old, and they just let them play. Playing is for babies.
Oh! that poor little girl...
Tiger Mom!!
The Mother has a right to sue if the School misrepresented its activities for children.
If they were promissed French lessons, the school should provide French lessons.... The school is "a business" and is subject to the same laws on false or deceptive advertising.
I think the parents just kept Lucia out getting into an "elite" university by looking like nut-bags.
I agree with Tinami. It's a business and if they didn't provide what they promised she has the right to complain.
"French lessons" could mean they teach counting and colors in French... we did that at our cheapo church run daycare. Spanish too
poor baby!
EDIT: I've started studying English at 4yrs, but an hour/week! but just singing colours&number in my normal public school
I agree. If they said specifically that they would be offering a certain service to 4 year olds, and she got lumped in with 2 year olds . . . there's a huge developmental difference. And it is telling that other nannies/moms were reluctant to speak in order to not hurt their own chances, as they put it. So clearly the school has a bit of a blackmail effect on these parents if they think saying anything negative means their kid won't pass the right test to get into a certain elementary school.
Where I have to is the fact that this one school, for one month, ruined this kid's chances to get into an Ivy League in 14 y ears. That's ridiculous (plus the $19k price).
Well, I agree that there might be a false advertising claim, but what if the girl is developmentally at a 2 year old stage and the mother is in denial? I have seen that happen before.
Sure, totally possible. Moms always think their kid is a genius. I'm just going on what the article states.
My daughters pre-k is free. At this stage, I'm not at all concerned about where she will go to college. I'm not too concerned about my 8 year old either. I have so dropped the ball here!
I didn't get that the woman's daughter was singled out to be put in with two-year-olds. The problem seemed to be that the kids were supposed to have different curriculum based on age, but they were all put into one big room together because of construction, and the mother does not believe that the curriculum is demanding enough because of the lack of age separation.
At no point does anyone say that Lucia wasn't getting her French lessons or anything else that the website promises. Note what the lawyer says:
"They put a bunch of kids of different ages together and gave her some excuse about construction," Paulose said.
My goodness! What are you thinking? They will be so far behind, there's no possible way they can get into an Ivy.
p.s. This thread is providing some amusing relief from the Japan threads. So much sadness there, so much silliness in NYC.
I agree with the point that the mother did not get what she paid for, but I feel rather sorry for the child. It reminds me of a recent article that I read about the gifted program in my province's school system. They had a call from a mom who insisted that they put her unborn child's name on the enrolment list, because she just, "Knew that her child would be gifted".
Mmm, I don't know about that. Just because the daughter was put in the same room with younger children doesn't mean that she wasn't taught the four-year-old curriculum. And again, no one has said that the child didn't get the things advertised on the school's site.
I'm not a big fan of the Daily News' reporting style; I'm sure that there is more to the story. But just based on what they have reported, I don't see any claim that the child was not given what was promised.
How can you live with yourself?!
Yeah, based on the pre-ks that make the news around here, I think I would be more concerned that they weren't leaving my 4 year old to baby sit the 2 year olds than I would be about ivy league prep. Adult teacher in the room, check; no abuse, check; everyone is having fun, check.
Mama knows best.
Having said that, I am not surprised. I just watched my SIL who lives in NYC go through the preschool admission process for her kid. It wasn't pretty.
Knowing my SIL, I am guessing she will provide the scoop on this story.
I think we have a frontrunner if Bravo ever needs to replace a member of the cast of Real Housewives of NY.
What gets me about this is that not segregating kids by age often enhances learning.
Has the daughter finished the school year? Did the mum view some "classes" first?
Seems all a bit much for 4 years old. Does the school get the money back again if the girl gets into Yale later on?
Or if she grows up, gets shipped off to college and ends up participating in a situation like this one. A perfect example of (en masse) helicoptor parenting gone wrong - because it's only effective until the kid is out of the parents' sight. Then the kid has all this freedom, yet doesn't know how to handle it.
I can't help but wonder what the child's father has to say about this lawsuit. He's noticably absent from the article. Where's the baby daddy????

These records are scanned images from non-conformist registers held at the Norfolk & Norwich Record Office. The collection is made up of registers from Congregational Chapels, Wesleyan Methodist Circuits and Society of Friends (Quakers) Meeting Houses. They are generally of baptisms only, but the Quaker records do include marriages and burials. Non-conformist registers are often more informative than their Church of England counterparts.
Non-conformist's were people who disagreed with the rules and beliefs of the Church of England and gathered together in groups worshipping God according to their own beliefs. At times in the history of England they have been persecuted and some have lost their lives because they have been unwilling to adhere to the practices of the Church of England.
These images are divided into the locations where the chapel, Circuit or meeting house was situated and then in page order. The collection is not indexed, but can be browsed book by book, page by page.

L'Oreal Color of Hope 2011
There are two palettes available, and I selected Sentimental Splendor. There are a total of four polish shades, and I picked up two of them, Whimsical and Valiant. The collection also offers two lip sticks and a lip gloss.
Whimsical is a subtle sandy pink shade, filled with tiny not-so-subtle matching foil glitter, giving it a somewhat metallic finish. This is a nice neutral shade that's dressed up with the sparkly glitter. The formula was very good, and I used two coats.
Valiant is a medium grey shade that also has matching tiny glitter, but it's a bit less sparkly than Whimsical. The formula on this was excellent, and required just one coat.
I picked up the Sentimental Splendor palette because I was drawn to the shades...primarily the green one, because it's a duo chrome. It looks like a deep green in the palette, but it flashes from a reddish brown to green, and it's far more obvious than I was able to capture in my photos. These shades aren't too pigmented dry, so I've been applying them with a spritz of Reviva Labs Rosewater Facial Spray on my brush first, for a deeper color. All of them except the green shade seem a bit chalky dry, so the wet method seems to work best for me.
I always like to support a good cause, and when there's nail polish and make up involved, all the better! Each year I always see some shades of products that I like from this collection, and I'm planning on using some of that green eye shadow shade to mix into a nail polish. Did you pick anything up from this collection?

All the colours are very pretty. I love the light pink polish, I always have trouble finding ones that aren't super sheer. I will have to keep an eye out for this collection!ReplyDelete
surprisingly, I really love the pink polish! I'll have to keep my eyes open for this collectionReplyDelete
A really great collection and a good cause.ReplyDelete
but I'm not a big fan of Loreal, since they test on animals )=
Whimsical looks so nice, I like itReplyDelete
Very pretty, too bad about the lack of pigmentation!ReplyDelete
Whimsical is really pretty. The palette is nice looking also. Nice to know that the shadows apply better wet.ReplyDelete
I'm really liking the pink!ReplyDelete
Really like the palette.ReplyDelete
Feel free to comment or just say hello! While I don't always have time to respond to each comment, I do read and appreciate all of them.

Vintage Star Wars BOBA FETT Helmet - Master Replicas 1:1 SE | eBay
Printable View
..actually there are 2 for your consideration..
does'nt show up on ebay.ie maybe because it's a US listing only.
still can only see 1 the other is a scaled not 1:1 scale tried .co.uk and .com
maybe someone can put up the link if indeed there are 2
Isn't the start price kind of the upper end of pricing for these?
very pricey, but very collectable!
Problem is on eBay you lose 100-110.00 right off the top when it sells and not including PayPal wanting their cut too. Guess that's the price you pay for reaching the masses... :(
Just blasters in the US when I checked just now... UK does seem to have a bit bigger supply of Master Replica Fett stuff though. I bought a ROTJ SE blaster for 750.00 shipped USD a month ago...too good not too pass up. Especially after talking to several current dealers and all of them saying exactly the same thing. Which is that they doubt anybody will be taking on blaster reproductions due to all the new gun laws anytime soon.
Ive seen Master Replica helmets in ebay sell for 1300-1800 plus 265-450 shipping ive spoken with each seller before & after auctions & some $1000
Personally my i bought a Master Replica Storm trooper & Boba Fett never sell em love em only thing better is a real indestructable helmet bullet ricochet & bullet proof

Stanley Cohen, Annie Chang, Robert Helling and Herbert Boyer show that extrachromosomal bits of DNA called plasmids act as vectors for maintaining cloned genes in bacteria. They show that if DNA is broken into fragments and combined with plasmid DNA, such recombinant DNA molecules will reproduce if inserted into bacterial cells. The discovery is a major breakthrough for genetic engineering, allowing for such advances as gene cloning and the modification of genes.

Posted by Brian Lambert on December 20, 2011
As the 2011 calendar year winds down, many sales enablement professionals are working on their sales kickoff initiative for the coming year. These large-scale events are an integral part of annual cycle, where the sales team converges on a fully prepared hotel for a days-long pep rally full of content sessions, vision-setting, and plenty of networking. Many of the sales kickoffs we hear about, and participate in, are focused on motivating and inspiring the sales force to hit their annual quota, or better yet, set new sales records.
While a healthy dose of motivation for the sales force is always important, next year's sales kickoff may require a healthy dose of reality as well.
It seems the expense of sales kickoffs is being scrutinized more than last year at higher levels of the organization. In fact, many of sales enablement professionals we talked with this quarter are being asked to justify the sales kickoff investment by their CEO. On top of that, sales leaders are asking for a more specific description of what's going to happen in the sales kickoff, and how the content in the event is going to help their salespeople drive the sales process forward. Both of these views – the view from the top and the view from the trenches – converge at a seemingly simple, yet often difficult to answer question:
"What's the expected impact of the sales kickoff next year?"

National Partners Call for a Conversation on Creating a Competency-Based Credentialing Ecosystem
Apr 07, 2014
By Evelyn Ganzglass
Today, CLASP joined policy leaders in other organizations in calling upon key stakeholders in our nation's postsecondary education and workforce credentialing system to come together to increase transparency, trust and portability in the credentialing marketplace.
CLASP and the other signatories of the Call for a National Conversation on Creating a Competency-Based Credentialing Ecosystem believe that the time has come for large scale expansion of the use of credentials that recognize an individual's competencies – regardless of means of acquisition – to improve employer competitiveness, reduce skill shortages, expand career advancement opportunities for workers, reduce time to credential for workers and students, and improve returns of accredited credentialing systems relative to costs.
The paper describes the crisis of credibility in our complex and highly fragmented credentialing system and outlines the components of what a fully functioning, competency-based credentialing ecosystem would include.
It concludes by posing questions to each of the key stakeholder groups regarding issues and strategies that will be needed to move this action agenda forward.
