Hey Guys,
I just recently purchased a T- visor from T-visor.com, and I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to fit in my bucket. My helmet is a Fang, and the visor that I have is supposed to fit a Fang. But when I put the visor in, there are a lot of gaps between the visor and the mandibles. does anyone have a solution to fix this problem?
I hope the pictures help explain a little better. Its kinda hard to explain without showing someone the helmet in person. I circled the gaps in red.

text: I know that Yuzuru is from Sendai, one of the areas most affected by the earthquake and tsunami. However, I just read that his rink is still closed and that he has no "home ice" to train on because all the other rinks in Japan are full. So, apparently he made an appearance in over 60 ice shows in order to have practice ice! Also, when the earthquake struck, he was on the rink, and had to evacuate in his skates!! Add that to his battle with asthma, and the toughness and resilience of this 16-year old is mind-boggling. I already like him but this gives me even more reason to hope he this season. COC might be a disappointment any other time but when you consider all that he had to go through in the past half year... it's incredible. (Information credit to 'yon' at the Yuna Forum!)

The Chinese government is undertaking an extensive survey as to how many foreigners actually own property in its nation. The Chinese economic boom is enticing foreign investors to enter the real estate market and become active players in what will become a major economic factor in the world's real estate market. The Chinese government has made it clear that only foreign institutions which have established branches or offices in China or individuals who are working and studying and have lived in Chin a for more than a year are eligible to purchase apartments.
China is slowly entering the world in many ways. Thirty years from now people from throughout the world will be living and working in China. Individuals will have summer homes in various parts of the nation as the global impact of an international economy reaches into every aspect of life. China may be communist, but market forces are compelling their ideology to take second place to reality.

So we got permission to hunt a pretty big corn and bean field that has been packed with geese all week. Only problem is, its in city limits. So, in Heartland Bowhunter fashion, we are gonna try our luck at sticking a few with an arrow.
Has anyone done this before, and have any advice? We plan on setting up in an island of trees closest to where they have been landing. We will sit on the ground and build a little brush blind. Probably will alternate shooters and have one person ranging.

|HEY DIGIT: I have a 1938 Lafayette street rod and was running stock gauges until they crashed. I bought a Nordskog Digital panel and built my own digital gauges. They are great and Nordskog has been great to work with. I would reccomend them over any other digital manufacturer based on price and service... DAVE
|I have a VDO Moon digital spedo and love it. Replaced a SW mechanical. As digitalfanatic says, calibration is as easy as flicking a couple of dip switches. My only regret is this is only a 120mph scale while my mechanical one was 160mph. I liked that scale a whole lot!
Hey, i'm new here. I just wanted to share a little something, I thought ya'll should know. I was having some trouble with some of my gauges in my el camino. So I decided to finally give it some good work. I went all over the place to find some good 3 3/8 speedometer. I was going more towards analog but then I found a gauge that you were able to program for different tire sizes. It was digital of course, so I was skeptical of it. So I tried it out, and I haven't had any problems with it. It's called the Digital Performance Speedometer. I actually received some really good compliments about it when i showed my stuff off at a show. Well, just thought i'd share that with you people. I believe the company that builds these things are Nordskog. Reasonable price. And pretty easy to install from what the mechanic says.

Hockey is an amazing, fantastic, thrilling, fast, all encompassing team sport that can be played both outdoor and indoor. Hockey is played by both girls and boys aged 5 to 17 and by women and men aged 18 to 85 ... so open to all. You can get involved in so many different ways, via the great primary school game Quicksticks, or the exciting new junior game In2Hockey aged 10 to 14 (previously Mini Hockey) or via the mainstream 11 a side game played mainly in clubs across the country. There is even a new informal fun version of the game called RUSH HOCKEY for adults.
Hockey clubs usually offer a great junior programme and there are so many ways to get involved as a young leader, coach or just volunteering, it's a game the whole family can enjoy. Hockey is an Olympic sport played across the world and England and Great Britain women and men are amongst the world leading teams. With the Olympic Games coming to London in 2012, Hockey is sure to feature in lots of television coverage, so look out for this great game. Better still get involved....
Arsenal Premier League 4 Sport is working in collaboration with Old Loughtonians Hockey Club, Waltham Forest Hockey Club and the England Hockey Board to run satellite clubs in 5 sites:
The Bridge School, Hackney, E2: Tuesdays – 3.15-4.45pm
[GIRLS ONLY] St Mary Magdalene Academy, Islington, N7: Wednesday – 3.30-5.00pm
Canonbury Primary, Islington, N1: Fridays – 4.30-6.00pm
St Mary Magdalene Academy, Islington, N7: Thursdays and Fridays - 4.00-5.30pm
William Tyndale, Islington, N1: Fridays – 4.45-5.45pm
Arsenal's Hockey programme has run for over 20 years and included over 14,000 young people in Islington alone. Along with parent club, Old Loughtonians HC, the Gunners Hockey Team has produced many county, regional and international players, including 2012 Olympic hopeful Darren Cheesman, and ensures the game is accessible to young people in the inner-city, all young participants have the opportunity to join this elite group.
Old Loughtonians are the largest club side in the East of England and have over 100 children attending each week at mini hockey. They have two Olympic standard water based pitches, plus a mini pitch. The club has worked with Arsenal in the Community since 1991/2 when the Gunners team was formed. The Gunners are the most successful side in the club winning a number of leagues and cups including many 'Doubles'. The Gunners pioneered the way youth hockey should be developed, leading to a "Gunners" style team in almost every club now. For more information, please see the website http://www.oldloughtonians.co.uk/.
Waltham Forest is a community based hockey club in North East London with 4 men's and 4 women's hockey teams, as well as a mixed side and a growing youth section. Based at Walthamstow Academy, the club has been running since 1989. We are currently the only club in the South East of England to run disability hockey sessions. For more information on Waltham Forest Hockey Club, see their website www.walthamforesthc.co.uk.

I get this.
Living with Eva (rip) was....so difficult. She couldn't be trusted around children, other dogs, cats other than our cat, men, even some women. "Luckily," when she was anxious she didn't bark or howl (paced endlessly, always counter clockwise), but still, as you can imagine, as an apartment-dweller, her issues were very difficult to manage. (Think: walks at 1am, 4am, choosing a job and college based on ability to take her out at "off" times, etc.) Absolutely worth it, though, for every day we had together.
I can't add anything to the advice you've already been given. I just wanted to say that I have been there. I remember being reduced to tears a few times when my management tactics came gut-wrenchingly close to failing, and feeling completely hopeless about ever getting into the perfect home for her.
Thing is... for Zelda, wherever she is with you is her perfect home. I know, I know; it's not a perfect environment, and really, you are the one shouldering the burden here, not Zelda. That's hard to reconcile mentally and emotionally; it's psychological discord - on the one hand, she brings you so much joy; on the other, she brings you so much stress and so many challenges.
Keep being honest with yourself, keep venting, keep being open... keep enjoying your walks in the backcountry and your time together, and keep a training journal/log so that you can see the small improvements she makes - it will give you hope and keep you motivated. Keep pushing through at work. Over the years, I have noticed that "stick-to-it-iveness" is what propels people towards success - combined, of course, with making the most of contacts and credentials.
You can do this One day at a time!
|Thanks for all the encouragement and suggestions guys! You really are all the best!
For discouraging unwanted alerts (aka barking) -
Leave a TV or radio on - or both.
Get an "environmental" or sound canceling "radio." These mask all sorts of sounds (like toilets flushing in the next unit of a hotel/motel, car doors closing outside etc.)

Some of the pros said they do it all the time. I never had the need with my dogs but I did get a chance to try at a rescued day! I was impressed with the change in the demeanour of the dog fear issues!
And add this to that:

You have friends with cats tell them what you want to work on muzzle the dog and basically sit on the dog! Two for one!
And I always add this one:
So there you go!
Those things alone may fix the bark problem? It will take time. And there is always a bark collar.

|Central CA has very reasonable real estate. I live 45 minutes from town in foothills on 5 acres in a HUGE home and similar places around here are 80K to 250K depending on mobile to mansion. There are even super reasonable rentals and rent to owns. There are lots of semi-country properties closer to the towns too. AND good groomers are in demand here. . . Just a thought -- look in the Fresno area. Mobile grooming or in-home is also really popular.
|Ah, looking back, the poor houses I've lived in, the hard times I've had finding rentals with dogs, the times I've moved "for dogs"... It CAN be downright discouraging and expensive. Sometimes the light at the end of that tunnel is very very faint...
If it's any comfort, I'm a pretty successful entrepreneur (I'm apparently a 1%'er though it sure doesn't feel like it!), have three dogs, will have more, and am struggling to find the property I can afford that works for me. Everything is very expensive around here. In my experience "mo money, mo problems". And I grew up poor as dirt so I have been on both sides of the spectrum.
Once you're comfortable grooming, start your own grooming business. If you have a hand for business you'll make many times the money you could make working for someone else. Money is actually quite easy to make I've found. It's only the first few dollars that are so hard won
It really does have to do with perspective; if all I focus on is the negative in my life of course I'm going to feel sad and angry. I have to remind myself that I can choose to feel bad or focus on feeling thankful and happy. When I realize I'm starting to go down the bad road I stop and think of something that makes me happy, whether it be a funny joke or something someone did and I'll find myself smiling or laughing even just a little and I can feel my mood become brighter. Baby steps
Focus on the things you CAN improve - so if you choose to go back to school or possibly buy a house then save every penny you can and put it in a savings account. Even if it's just $20 a month watching that money grow gives you something to look forward to. Why not make an appointment with a financial advisor and speak to them? The appointment was free and wow was it worth the time to sit down and find out my options.
I have a yard, it's small and yes I wish it was a heck of a lot bigger but even when I take him to my parents and let him roam on their acreage unless he's chasing a toy he's always within ten feet of me so does he really need that extra space to be happy? Nope Find some nice hiking areas and enjoy all that space without paying a penny or worrying about upkeep like cutting the grass or maintaining the trails Feel lonely? There are lots of people that have mutual interests out there you can connect with, you might be surprised at how not alone you are when you step outside of your bubble No one is perfect, it's our imperfections that make life interesting and our trials that make us strong
|I get stuck in that cycle, too. But, remember, as a kid, when you had to finish all the food because there were kids starving in China, or wherever? Now, I think: I'm thankful I've never had to see my kid ( or dog) starve. That gives me some perspective. I also wish I had 10 acres and the stupid neighbors with their stupid little dog were nowhere close....but, on the other hand, I'm glad I can afford kibble and Rudy doesn't have to eat that little dog for dinner...so I don't have to interact with them again. Sometimes we get stuck, then a couple of months or years later you think: oh, so that's why that happened that way!

Can't remember if I've asked this already...but there's a lot of stuff I can't remember, so here goes...We started with nucs in mid-May. .
. upper deep is being filled almost exclusively with honey and nectar. There doesn't seem to be any brood being built up there, it's all limited to the lower deep where the original frames were installed. Of the 10 frames in the upper deep, the middle 6or 7 are fairly full, capped and uncapped. We're got 2 hives, and the situation seems to be the same in both. .
let them make ther own food...only take the surplus like a farmer.
my friend finman worrys about.
....he does make a good point that honey is more expensive then sugar but i ask you... wich would you rather eat all winter
here i go talking about winter again... finman it sounds like good idea (sugar in winter) how do you feed them it and how much...partner likes idea of taking honey so bees produce more...and feed cheaper food (sugar in water) we have much honey in hive now..... thank you brookie :)
sounds good .......our winter goes go from oct. -end of march thanks again for sharing your knowledge. i need to find out more on winter feeding ...do you bring your hives out of elements/....does honey act as an insulator for the hive?...so much to know and we are very inexperienced and to busy to read much...heres a dumb question??? do bees sleep ,work in shifts,or what...whats up at night in there/? brookie

Several weeks ago, I wrote about the possibility of sex in heaven. Much of the response was what you might expect: Because I obviously wasn't going to heaven, what business was it of mine?
Good point. I rest your case.
Here on Earth, sex is a definite reality. Lots of people are having it. It's still some deeply personal business, though. If you're a believer in God, what you do in private is entirely up to Him, you, and the person with whom you're preoccupied.
Unless, of course, you also belong to a church. Then sex can be up to the aforementioned and a bunch of other people who might not necessarily want to participate, but at least want to have some say in what's going on in there.
Depending on which church, the who, what, where, when and why of sex have serious theological implications. You could go to hell if you get even one of them wrong.
My particular church (Mormon) focuses primarily on the who, when and why parts of sex. Who: man and woman (one each, adult). When: only after marriage. Why: procreation and marital bonding.
I'm OK with my church (or yours) strenuously reminding me (and everyone else) about the who, why and when of sex. I'm naturally inclined that way, so it's no big deal.
I'm considerably less cooperative about the church's participation in the where and what parts of sex. These two elements of human sexuality are my personal business.
It wasn't always that way. During an ecclesiastical interview in 1982, a local church leader tried to find out more about the what part.
We got through the boring interview stuff OK. Did I pay tithing? (Yes). Did I try to be honest? (Sometimes). Had I shot anybody lately? (Not on purpose).
Just when we were about done, he asked a very alarming question: "Do you and your wife engage in [use your imagination here] sex?"
My response caused him to backpedal immediately. He explained that the brethren were concerned about "unnatural acts" occurring between married couples. They sent out a letter about "what."
He suggested that I pray about it. I opted instead to stick with my original answer, which I admit was far less cordial than he was accustomed to. The interview, which I passed, was quickly concluded.
Later, I found out that I wasn't the only one asked that particular question. Concern grew until another letter was immediately sent out telling local leaders to stop prying into the "what" part.
But for many people the approved "what" part of sex is still a major concern. Isn't "what" every bit as important as when and with whom? Suppose they got it wrong by accident?
Two weeks ago, I attended a lecture on sexual behavior given by LDS sexologist Melissa Jones at the Blue Boutique in Sugar House. This particular one was on the incorporation of bondage and fetishes into a loving relationship.
The decidedly Relief Society-looking woman talked frankly (and a little shockingly) what loving couples can do for and to each other.
At the end of the lecture, I asked Jones how she managed to counsel people about "what" in an environment where talking about the particulars of sex before marriage was almost as taboo as having it.
"I tell couples to pray about it," she said. "To ask Heavenly Father."
I don't know. Maybe I'm actually more old-fashioned than I thought. I just don't see me praying to find out if dressing up like a sailor and getting paddled with a banjo is OK.
I think I'll leave church out of it altogether. "What" is my own personal business and as such is entirely up to my wife.

Take an adventure holiday in TAJIKISTAN with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies!
Central Asia is a land of ancient civilisations. It was in this region that the ancient states of Bactria and Khoresm, Sogd and Parthia thrived. Through these states the famous Great Silk Road passed, linking Europe and Asia. Majestic cities with beautiful palaces, mosques, minarets and medressas were erected over thousands of years. Many of them were ruined, but several withstood the conquerors and passing of time, and today stand as monuments, reflecting their former glory. Many of the artistic delights found in Central Asia are comparable with the architectural masterpieces of Egypt, India, China and ancient Greece and Rome.
Central Asia makes up over 2% of the world's land mass. After the collapse of the USSR, five independent states were proclaimed: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. The largest deserts and desert-steppes in all of Asia and the mountains of the Tian Shan and the Pamir are all found here. It is a land of diverse landscapes. Hot deserts give way to oases and valleys of cotton plants, pomegranates, grapes and melons. Immense steppes change smoothly into foothills and rise beyond the clouds to the eternal snows of its highest peaks. Emerald steppes merge into dark-green juniper forests and then, high in the mountains, into the many coloured grasslands of alpine meadows.

Edward Goldsmith and World Agriculture: Toward 2000, FAO's Plan to Feed the World 81
Nicholas Hildyard FAO's main policy document is complacent about the present world food situation
and argues for the continuation of current modernization policies. These may increase food production in the short term, but in the long term will lead to environmental degradation and famine on a massive scale.
Miguel A. Altieri Traditional Farming in Latin America 93
Traditional agricultural techniques can produce high yields of varied crops, while maintaining soil fertility and saving the farmer the expense of modern inputs. They are able to do so because of the diversity of crops grown and because they mimic natural ecological processes.
Winin Pereira Traditional Rice Growing in India 97
Countless different agricultural strategies are used in rice growing in India. Their most notable features are that they aim to maximize food security rather than food production, and they maintain the fertility of the soil using renewable, local resources.

My oh Miocene!
Guest commentary by Sarah Feakins
Our recent study in Nature Geoscience reconstructed conditions at the Antarctic coast during a warm period of Earth's history. Today the Ross Sea has an ice shelf and the continent is ice covered; but we found the Antarctic coast was covered with tundra vegetation for some periods between 20 million and 15.5 million years ago. These findings are based on the isotopic composition of plant leaf waxes in marine sediments.
That temperatures were warm at that time was not a huge surprise; surprising, was how much warmer things were – up to 11ºC (20ºF) warmer at the Antarctic coast! We expected to see polar amplification, i.e. greater changes towards the poles as the planet warms. This study found those coastal temperatures to be as warm as 7ºC or 45ºF during the summer months. This is a surprise because conventional wisdom has tended to think of Antarctica being getting progressively colder since ice sheets first appeared on Antarctica 34 million years ago (but see Ruddiman (2010) for a good discussion of some of the puzzles).
Where did this record come from?
The ANDRILL program is a multinational collaboration involving scientists from Germany, Italy, New Zealand and the United States to drill through ocean sediments around Antarctica. The drilling effort in the austral summer of 2007 involved a rig perched upon the Ross Ice Shelf, drilling down through the ice, 400m of water below that and then grinding down 1km into the sediments. The sediments are bagged and then transported back to the storage facility in Florida from where they are parcelled out to analysis laboratories across the world.
It can take years to process all this sediment and perform all the compositional, elemental and isotopic analyses that need to be done. Numerous scientists work on getting the most information possible out of the core. One of the early findings was the unexpected discovery of abundant pollen in the Miocene part of the core by Sophie Warny (Warny et al, 2009). The pollen came from types of tundra vegetation and indicated summer temperatures above freezing, which was also inferred from the presence of freshwater algae.
After Sophie found the pollen, I began to search for molecular fossils of those same plants. The waxy coating of plant leaves is remarkable for its resilience in sediments. In addition those leaf wax molecules capture an isotopic record of past rainfall. It is these isotopic signatures that allow quantitative insights into temperature and rainfall.
To extract the leaf waxes we don't look for visual fossils, instead we use organic solvents to dissolve and extract the leaf waxes out from the sediments. Those organic molecules are then purified by passing through a series of filtering steps in the lab. Ultimately we wind up with a pure concentration of the leaf waxes which can be analyzed by mass spectrometry (see photo).
How are the results interpreted?

i said no real crescendo. it just sorta goes... fluuhhh at the end. sure it builds but then it just deflates quickly like a disturbed half done souffle.
what should have happened:
but we got this instead:
you get the difference? i'm not saying there's no crescendo i just don't acknowledge one exists because it's so lame. both versions are not how i would have done it at all. oh yes same style but with much more pomp.

We are a small, but very popular museum housed in an 19th-century townhouse – that means, sometimes, there'll be a short queue outside.
Our friendly Visitor Assistants will greet you at the entrance. Because some areas of the Museum are narrow and filled with objects, they will give you a clear plastic bag for any small items you'd like to carry, and will store larger bags in our cloakroom. Unfortunately, we can't take suitcases, large rucksacks, prams or bikes.
We also ask you to turn off phones. Photography is not permitted as this maintains the unique, magical atmosphere inside.
There are lots of stairs inside, but we have step-free access.
Until 23 September 2017, we're exhibiting twelve nude casts of the female body throughout the Museum. This installation was developed by leading contemporary artist Marc Quinn as a response to our collection.

Some people say that the old Maya calendar predicts that the world will end in the year 2012. Will this happen? Most likely no. Without judging anybody's beliefs in this ancient calendar: Some experts say that the Maya calendar is like a five-digit odometer in your car: When it reaches 99,999 kilometers or miles, it will restart at 0. However, 2012 is beginning to show the ingredients of the long-expected stronger consolidation in the banking platform space.
While it is not yet clear whether Misys and Temenos will merge to move out of the gap between gorillas and antelopes, French software and services company Sopra announced "a project to acquire a majority stake in the Belgian company Callataÿ & Wouters (C&W)." For obvious reasons, it is too early to provide any detailed comment on this announced merger. However, I see two initial areas of interest:
Posted by Jost Hoppermann on February 9, 2012
Less than a week ago, initial information became public that Misys and Temenos may intend to merge. On February 7, 2012, a press release stated that "Temenos and Misys today confirm that they have reached agreement in principle on certain key terms and are in continuing discussions regarding a possible all share merger of the two groups." Now Misys and Temenos have about one month to finalize their merger — or abandon it. It is obvious that this merger has the ingredients to become one of the most significant mergers in the banking industry in the past few years. With the probability of the merger now sufficiently high, here is my initial take.
There are two obvious reasons for this potential endeavor of Temenos and Misys (let's call the combined company MIsys-TemeNOS ["MiNos"] for the time being to avoid terms such as "new company" or "NewCo"):

Brewers Bash Pirates
MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo hit one of five home runs for Milwaukee, which went back-to-back twice in a 10-4 rout of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.
Gallardo also tossed three-hit ball over seven innings, retiring his final 13 batters while improving to 10-2 against Pittsburgh. He and Norichika Aoki hit consecutive homers in the fourth before Carlos Gomez and Yuniesky Betancourt repeated the feat in the fifth.
Jean Segura also connected for the Brewers, who added three triples and matched a season high for runs.
Gallardo (3-1) gave up two runs, one earned. He struck out five and walked two. (Story courtesy of The Associated Press)
Game two of the series is Tuesday night at Miller Park. First pitch is at 7:10pm, with coverage on 1310 WIBA starting at 6:35pm.

Colorful Cooking: Roasted lemon chicken with fennel
November 6, 2012
Americans eat 84 pounds of chicken per person, per year. Chicken is low in fat, high in niacin and good for the budget. I buy my whole chickens organic since I can stretch one bird into two or three more meals. Roasted chicken is a timeless main course, freshen it up with a warm fennel blue cheese salad and you have a colorful meal, company worthy! Roasting means cooking with dry heat; in the oven or over an open flame. Roasting meat and veggies gives the food a rich, deep, caramelized crust. For this oven-roasted chicken, we will use high heat to start the cooking, then lower the heat to finish the bird, assuring moist meat, registering 165 degrees when done. While the oven is warm, a simple sliced, warm fennel salad will compliment the lemon chicken. (Log onto Colorfulcooking.com for the fennel salad recipe.)Starting on the stovetop, then moving the pan to the oven is a culinary trick to cooking quickly. Recently, I prepared this simple, colorful egg frittata in minutes on TV8 and everyone loved it. This vegetarian sweet potato bean frittata is a protein and fiber-packed breakfast that will get you out of the house quickly! Tracy Miller adds fruits and veggies to all her meals. Join her Thursday at Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Company in Edwards for a holiday appetizer cooking class. She shares recipes weekly on TV8's "Good Morning Vail." To contact her, email firstname.lastname@example.com or log onto Colorfulcooking.com.
Roasted Lemon Chicken with Fennel —————————————————5 lbs. raw chicken 2 lemons 1 large onion2 Tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon rosemary or thyme, minced 2 cloves of garlic, minced1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper—————————————————Heat oven to 400. Remove the innards from the chicken and discard (or save for another use). Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Slice the onion in quarters and slice the lemons in half. In a bowl, mix olive oil, rosemary or thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Place the chicken on shallow baking pan with a rack or a cookie sheet with a rack, this will allow the heat to circulate around the bird for better cooking. If you do not have a wire rack, use whole carrots and round sliced onions to make a plate of veggies that the chicken can cook on top of. That will allow the fat to drip away from the bird.Stuff the onion and lemon quarters in the cavity of the bird, close the drumsticks and use twine to secure. Using a spoon upside down, separate the skin from the meat and place some of the olive oil mixture under the skin, rub it over the meat as best you can. Rub the outside of the skin with a little olive oil and place the chicken in the oven. Turn on your vent, this will get a little smoky. Cook at 400 for 30 minutes, reduce heat to 350 and cook until chicken registers at 160, about 45 minutes more. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165. Enjoy! Log onto Colorfulcooking.com for the fennel salad recipe.
1 medium sweet potato3/4 cup black beans6 eggs1/4 cup cilantro, chopped1 teaspoon lime juice2 ounces cream cheese2 Chipolte peppers in adoboSalt & pepper Canola Oil—————————————————Wash the sweet potato and cook it in the microwave for 3 minutes or until semi-soft.Peel the sweet potato and chop into 1/4″ cubes – about 1 cup.Heat broiler in oven to high. In a 8″ cast-iron skillet, place 2 teaspoons canola oil over medium heat, add sweet potato and cook for 5 minutes.In a bowl, beat eggs for 30 seconds, allowing a lot of air to mix into the eggs. Add eggs to cast-iron skillet and let cook for 5 minutes. While the eggs are cooking, break the bottom with a knife to allow some of the uncooked eggs to hit the bottom of the pan, twirl around. Evenly spread black beans over eggs and place skillet under broiler for 4 minutes or until eggs are cooked through. You can tell if they are cooked, if they are fluffy and firm to the touch. Mix cream cheese, diced chipolte, cilantro and lime juice and serve spread over frittata.

I know there is a few ways to attach armor pieces, and rangefinders, etc...velcro, buttons, I've even seen people glue armor to their jumpsuit (eurgh). Magnets have always been my favorite. Not messy, more reliable...ANYWAY. To the point:
Cheap, POWERFUL magnets in sizes small enough to use to attach the RF stalk to the bucket, and big enough so your holsters don't come off of your cod. I'm using them in my new project....recently sold all of my old Jango suit, except my bucket, and am starting fresh. Seeker/Cruzer/BobaMaker stuff. MMmmm, perfect. Just thought I'd point out that site for those of you who use magnets.
It also has a bulk magnets page where you can get thousands at a time for like... .05 cents a magnet =p. Anyway....happy costuming =)

Freedom From Religion Foundation of Georgia
An affiliate of the Freedom From Religion Foundation
Our goal: To educate the public on matters of non-theism and protect the First Amendment – Separation of Religion from Government.
FFRF-Georgia is a local chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. We are a non-religious community of local people committed to living our lives free from superstition, dogma and mysticism. We are freethinkers – people who form opinions about religion and spirituality independent of tradition, authority, or established belief in favor of rational inquiry.
Our members are composed of Agnostics, Atheists, Humanists, Skeptics, Deists and secular-minded people still searching for answers who come from all walks of life. The common thread we all share is that we uphold the US and Georgia Constitutional principles of separation between government and religion.
Living in the current "Christian Frenzy" era, that has been gaining popularity by leaps and bounds since the mid-1950's, accelerated by 9/11, we must be ever more vigilant about Christian Fundamentalism working hard to dominate the political arena at all levels.
Atlanta is wonderfully supplied with many organizations which all provide many social opportunities for the local freethinkers such as book clubs, community service projects, skeptic gatherings, historical discussions, notable speakers, activist opportunities and other events. This FFRF chapter participates and supports these types of events and encourages members looking for these social opportunities to join freethinker groups in the area.
The reason we formed this chapter is to support eyes and ears on the ground for separation issues. We locally organize and educate the public, submit letters to the editor, news releases, deliver legally savvy communication to our local government agencies, including one-on-one encounters, as appropriate, by our members, and legally taking appropriate action to preserve our rights when necessary.

Our speaker in February will be Dr. Dennis Martin, secretary of the Atlanta Freethought Society. With a Ph.D. in philosophy as well as a degree in mathematics, Dr. Martin has taught for over 36 years including topics of philosophy, critical thinking, formal logic, history of ethics, business ethics, contemporary moral issues, philosophy of religion, philosophy of atheism, epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of human nature, and decision-making.
In this program, Dr. Martin will discuss the more fundamental ideas embraced by freethinkers and secular humanists alike, how those ideas arose in history, and how you can show their importance to your non-freethinking friends today. Many people assume that "Freethought" is just a polite code word for "Atheism." While atheism is a likely consequence of Freethought, the two ideas are not identical and the differences matter. The audience will be encouraged to participate in the discussion with their own examples and ideas.

This month, we feature "Brother Richard" Haynes, coming to us from Atlanta GA. He was raised in a nonreligious home, ran away as a teenager and had a "born again" religious experience. He subsequently became an evangelist, received a degree in Biblical Studies and served as an associate minister to a 12,000-member Atlanta mega-church. In 1993, with their church engulfed in scandal, Richard, with his infant daughter and wife Angela, began their long and arduous journey to rationality and non-theism. Richard is now secularly ordained and has dedicated himself to building non-theist communities and encouraging others to "come out" of the atheist closet. He is President of Atheist Nexus International, the world's largest coalition of non-theists and non-theist communities, the Communications Director for Atheist Alliance of America, and maintains the blog "Brother Richard's Life Without Faith" at Patheos.com. He chronicles this journey for us in a "Hobbittesque" presentation entitled: There and Back Again.

Freedom From Religion, Albuquerque
A chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation
Freedom From Religion, Albuquerque (FFR-ABQ) is working to keep state and church separate and to educate the public about the views of non-theists. We are gradually "coming out of the closet," speaking truth to power as non-believers providing a balance to religious influences. We call ourselves "non-theists" or "free-thinkers," which means "a person who forms opinions about religion on the basis of reason, independently of tradition, authority, or established belief."
FFRF members in NM started meeting in 2010 and registered with the state in the spring of 2012 as an educational non-profit. We established a board of directors with five offices – president, vice president Secretary, Treasurer, and past president. We are accepting donations to our billboard fund and for our quarterly Meet and Greet events with speakers and refreshments.
We have had some great activist projects. We meet once each month, and meeting topics so far have included the following:
- Obtaining legal support from FFRF for local violations of C/S
- Billboard funding and placement (see photos)
- Monitoring City and County Commission meetings
- Creating various brochures for FFR-ABQ
- Ending religious graphics on the cover of the NM Bar Association newsletter
- Ending creationism instruction in a public school
- Competing with Hobby Lobby Christian Nation ads in the Albuquerque Journal
- Constitution Day celebrations and advertisement, Sept. 17
- A debate in 2012 on "God is Dead?" with Jim Travis (yes) and Trent Horn (no) – find it on YouTube
- A talk on Non-Believer Nation: The Rise of Secular Americans by the author, David Niose
- Darwin Day celebrations and advertising around February 12, including "A Comparison of Science and Religion" talk by Ron Herman at the NM Museum of Natural History that sparked controversy
- Discussions of Christianity in New Mexico
- Gay pride and equal rights tabling at PrideFest 2013
- A talk on Born Atheist by the author, Tim Covell
- Review of Catholic hospital "missionary" policies regarding women's healthcare
- Renewed efforts to pass the Equal Rights Amendment to ensure women's rights
- Two talks with musical entertainment by Dan Barker, FFRF co-president, including one with the Albuquerque Atheist Band
- Assertiveness workshop, Jerry Gilbert, retired clinical psychologist.
- "The Trouble With Christmas," Tom Flynn, Executive Director of The Council for Secular Humanism and Editor of the Free Inquiry magazine.
- Production of a YouTube video on church/state separation
- Co-sponsored a visit by the "Unholy Trinity Tour" by Matt Dillahunty, Aron Ra, and Seth Andrews in 2014
We are part of the growing movement against the national god obsession! We might be "fallen-away" Catholics or former members of other religions, born atheists or agnostics, self-discovered free-thinkers, or doubting New-Agers. We welcome diversity.

Guigal Cotes du Rhone Blanc 2011
Rhone White Blends from Cotes du Rhone, Rhone, France
Winemaker's Notes
Yellow gold, clear and brilliant. On the nose, freshness marked by the distinctive aromas of Viognier, white flowers, apricot, acacia and white peach. On the palate, it is fruity with plenty of richness and body. Overall, a well-rounded wine with elegance, strength and balance.
Blend: 55% Viognier, 20% Roussane, 10% Clairette, 10% Marsanne, 5% Bourboulenc
Critical Acclaim
Decanter - "A rock-of-ages wine - a winner for value and quality. The 60% Viognier is fresh on the finish after a stylish, multi-flavoured palate."
Guigal Winery
The Guigal domain was founded in 1946 by Etienne Guigal in the ancient village of Ampuis, home of the wines of the Côte-Rôtie. In these vineyards that are over 2400 years old, you can still see the small terraced walls characteristic of the Roman period. Etienne Guigal arrived in this region in 1923 at the age of 14. He made wine for over 67 vintages and, at the beginning of his career, participated in the development of the Vidal-Fleury establishment.
Despite his young age, Marcel Guigal took over from his father in 1961 when the latter was victim to a brutal illness rendering him blind. Marcel's hard work and perseverance enabled the Guigals to buy out Vidal-Fleury in 1984, although the establishment retains its own identity and commercial autonomy. In 2000, the Guigals purchased the Jean-Louis Grippat estate in Saint-Joseph and Hermitage, as well as the Domaine de Vallouit in Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage.
In the cellars of the Guigal estate in Ampuis, the northern appellations of the Rhône Valley are produced and aged. These are the appellations of Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Hermitage, Saint-Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage. The great appellations of the Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Tavel and Côtes-du-Rhône, are also aged in the Ampuis cellars. View all Guigal Wines
About Cotes du RhoneView a map of Cotes du Rhone wineries
The appellation of Côtes du Rhône encompasses much of the land of the area, not to mention much of the wine – over two-thirds of the wine produced here is of the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation. Wines here need only be from the Côtes de Rhône geographic area (which is fairly large) and consist of one or more of the 22 varieties permitted. Being such a wide classification, it's a surprise and joy that so many of these wines reach such a high quality. While there are areas in the Northern Rhône that meet the classification of Côtes du Rhône, most all of this appellation is in the Southern Rhône. Wines here are based mostly on Grenache, like other Rhône reds, while the whites focus on Marsanne and Roussanne. Viognier is also allowed although typically used in smaller quantities.
Notable FactsThere is one higher level in the Côtes du Rhône called Côtes du Rhône Villages. These wines are from specific village areas that have a few more standards the wine must reach to receive the village label. Some to take note of are Cairanne, Rasteau, Seguret and Beaumes-de-Venise. The good thing about both Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Rhône Villages is that big producers of the smaller appellations are taking the opportunity and freedom offered by this broad appellation and creating wines of very high quality, and lower in price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Color Genius Blush
I've used NARS Orgasm blush for years (I swear it is the never ending palette, it looks new, I've used it nearly everyday for about 4 years, I think it will never run out), but I have been looking for a lighter, rose-berry tone option for everyday.
Enter Color Genius in Roses! (pictured on the right here) I love that this blush has 3 different intensities in the same color family. I can easily go lighter, darker or mix all three together depending upon my mood. I also like to use the lighter pink as a highlight. It lasts all day, and it blends easily, creating a natural and flattering glow! In addition, the pan is huge! It looks like it hasn't been touched yet. This is another blush that will last for years!
Color Genius Powder
Similar to the blush, these powders do have several shades in one compact. What is nice about this is that a perfect match is not needed. In addition, I really think that the multiple shades do prevent it from becoming too mask-like. The powder is light and very translucent. I do need to re-apply mid-day, but I always need to do this. The main difference is that with re-applying the Color Genius powder I don't look like powder is caked all over my face!

To me NAV is a valuable tool, particularly at night when you're travelling on a long trip.

BMW Navigation .... sucks?
Do we really expect BMW navigation to work well in US? It cant't even work properly in Germany. 4 month ago we drove from Munich to Innsbruck, usually about 2 hrs drive. The navigation took us on a 4 hrs drive thru every small village in between. It was really a disaster. That's not what one would expect after 8 hrs flight from US...Richard
all of these car navs lag behind $200 consumer electronics. someday the csr companies will get out of the computer business.
the nav in my wife's lexus 450h is by far the best i've seen in a car. it has a funny 'mouse-like controller' that i though i would hate but turns out to be genius. the nav speaks ALL the street names like any sane nav should, and the systrm has a much better ui for combining visuals of different functions together. (it's more map-view centric, with a big secondary info bar that drops down for radio/climate/calls )
i find it incredibly embarassing that my new 550 which cost twice as much as her lexus doesn't speak all the street names.

"Incredibly embarrassing"? Seriously? Drama .
If you are going to compare to lexus at least be fair and post the negative aspects of the Lexus system. There are many.
Consumer nav units are not as good unless you spend close to $2k and get the dead reckoning capability.
A $200 garmin is no better than an iPhone app.

I love my new BMW, but YES, I do find it embarassing that it dosn't speak streetnames! So should the BMW engineers!
I'm a software engineer. I tinkered with synthesized speech on the Apple II and TI-99/4a back in the 1980s! If I had the code to the BMW system, it would take me less than a day to integrate a TTS engine and have it speaking street names, at least in most western languages. There are free open-source options available, or for a few dollars per car they could license a nice-sounding commercial offering. The pronunciation on those things is highly variable, but it doesn't matter. We kinda like to laugh at how our Garmin Nuvi pronounces Hawaiian street names when we travel there. It's also weird that BMW has speech recognition (which is "hard" to implement) but no text-to-speech for street names (which is very "easy" to implement).
Saying "turn in 300 feet" is what the bad early nav systems did back in 1998. Speaking street names is a must-have feature for a $150 consumer nav unit -- not to mention Google Android Navigation and VZNavigator on hundreds of phone models. It should be in a ~$2000 nav system on an ~$80k car.
As for dead-reckoning. I agree standalone GPS units can sometimes have positioning troubles, though I've never seen them in my Garmin Nuvi, only the older Magellens. My Verizon Droid3 (and my droid-1, blackberry, and LG Chocolate before it), all use cellular assisted GPS, which has been perfect as far as I've ever seen. The only downside is that these systems only work with cellular reception, which means, ohh, just about everywhere. Maybe some cut-outs in tunnels and remote areas. In my experience, consumer systems (especially Google Android Navigation) currently blow away car systems by a wide margin.
Though I suppose it all depends what you consider "good". I consider it good if it's easy to enter an address, get a decent route, and follow the directions. As a bonus, it's nice if it has traffic info, alternate routes, and lets you route around a problem, searching for stuff is a bonus, but I generally do that on my mobile device not the car. (I would **LOVE** an Android Google Maps send-to-bmw feature, but alas that does not currently exist)
My post didn't include all the positive and negative aspects of either system, as it wasn't intended to be a complete review. Here is a more complete list of the differences between the 2010 lexus 450h nav and 2012 BMW idrive nav
Lexus 450h nav vs bmw idrive, this is how, in my opinion, the two stack up in core navigation features:

What you call 'easy' to implement may meet the standards for Kia or Hasbro, myself I always have turn guidance speech muted anyway, don't need nor want the distraction.
YES settings were on "quickest" on my ride from Munich to Innsbruck. I got my new 528 xi today. Played with the navigation and realized there is no hope. Having the setting on "fastest" or whatever it says, it took me on some ride to get home. Maybe the purpose of navigation is entirely different from what we expect. Maybe to goal is eventually to take us somehow to destination, but not using the most efficient way. I concluded no more NAVIGATION for me...i got it just because the car came with it as BMW pushes it into all cars, lately.

Unlike the title of this thread, I don't think the BMW Navigation sucks, I just think it needs some love in a couple of the right places....
My main point is that it would be great if the BMW engineers would integrate readily available and commonly used text-to-speech technology into the BMW nav system for spoken streetnames. It would make the voice nav experience better. A few more details below...
Speech Recognition for a small subset of commands is much easier than for large dictionaries. Recognizing proper street and city names requires a large dictionary, and thus is relatively hard. Nobody has a nav system that does this well, because it's so hard to do. The technology is called "untrained speaker independent large-vocabularity recognition" and there is no system that works very well. They work abysmally in the face of background noise.
Google Voice Search (on mobile phones), in my experience, is the best "untrained speaker-independent large-vocab" system for place names. It performs so much better because it puts a whole rack of computers to work each time a single-person's voice input arrives (hundreds to thousands of computers). As a result, it can do thousands of times more processing than can be done on a single computer in a car -- and it's still not perfect.
Speech Synthesis for arbitrary text, on the other hand, has many acceptable solutions for mostly phonetic languages. Almost all consumer nav systems have this feature. Operating systems such as Windows, MacOS, and Android have text-to-speech built in as a system service.
Looking at these lists of TTS engines, there are at least two completely free TTS implementations (Festival and FreeTTS), many more semi-free, and 6 commercialy licensable versions. Microsoft's TTS engine has amazing pronounciation, and is based continued work by the folks who made the free Sphinx-II engine.
This is an easy thing to integrate into the Nav. I hope they do it sometime soon!
However, it also doesn't sound like you are interested in this spoken-streetnames issue at all, so it's strange you seem to think the rest of us should suffer. I assure you those of us using voice directions would prefer it to speak all streetnames.
Anyone who prefers the "turn left in 500 feet" please speak up now!
On a side-note, it would also be awesome if I could use Google Voice Search from the car... either by BMW integrating directly with Google Voice Search, or by BMW/Android supporting hands-free multi-function button use. (At a guess, I think BMW doesn't send bluetooth-multi-function button signals over bluetooth, and Android doesn't yet turn them into voice-search, so both sides may need to be improved). However, AFAIK this isn't something anyone else supports yet either. Maybe it'll be a BMW first.

I came out of a benz (a 2005), and must say i like this nav much better than i liked the benz. In particular - the perspective view with scale set at appx 0.25 miles on wide screen (no split screen), you really get a good idea of where you are and where you are heading.
My biggest gripe w/ the nav is using the idrive controller to enter addresses (so much so i am now trained to call my office and have someone enter it in google maps and send to the car )....
My 2 cents...its not perfect - but i'll take it!
I too have a background in software, many years ago I worked for a GIS - AM/FM firm, developing what's become today's nav systems (our focus was more municipalities/utilities and to a much larger scale). What you say could be, but to do it right (my definition) would require significant integration of spatial data relationships to language cues.
I suppose if there were a demand someone (perhaps BMW) would do it, but to be honest I can think of infinitely more things I'd like to see refined/developed/fixed in a BMW.
And just to be clear, I don't think the nav in the F10 sucks either. Much better than past BMW's or any other cars I've had.
Sorry if I offended.
This discussion of city-names is a bit off-topic as we're talking about tts for street-names. There is no question TTS is not going to pronounce all street names correctly. The question is whether questionably pronounced street names are better than voice instructions like "turn in 500 feet", I argue they always are, as long as they are intellegible. Others may disagree. I suspect you have to use voice navigation to care.
I'm not holding my breath for spoken streetnames in iDrive. I am glad I ordered the HUD so I can turn off the confusing "turn in 500 feet" instructions and just watch for streetnames on the HUD. Non HUD users are not so fortunate.
No offense taken, we all love our beamers, elements of perfection and flaws alike.

New 2013 535i owner here. First BMW.
Was very disappointed with the nav. I assumed (incorrectly) that when you pay this much for an auto, the nav would be equal to or better what I have on my $200 iPhone.
The worst for me is the constant "bear right" and "bear left" instructions when going straight on a freeway. After a few miles, this gets downright annoying. It seems like it sees every curve in the freeway as an opportunity to tell me to "bear" in a certain direction, but looking at the map it doesn't necessarily seem to match up.
This to me is a serious bug, and not just a simple annoyance. When I have hundreds of miles of driving on a long freeway I don't want to keep hearing "bear right" every minute.
Garmin is the same way. Kinda chatty. Do you want them on or off?
I don't think there is an option for wanting only a few random instructions vice having them all.

Just shut up until I get close to the exit.
That may help.
On the older cars you could program a steering wheel button to turn nav voice off/on which I used all the time.

That's interesting...can you clarify further what these "auxiliary lines" are, and what you mean by "line breakdown" at the bottom of the display?
Same situation (but less common) if just one of the lane of freeway "ends" at the exit (becomes "exit only"), so nav has to advise you to keep on remaining lanes.
"Lane breakdown" - don't have picture but usually it's called "lane assist" in navs: at the bottom of the screen (and on the dash) it will draw you small pictures of the lanes with indication which lanes are OK to take - you can check it to see if you can take any lane except rightmost to get around most of false "bear left"s.

I wish there was an option to reduce the "sensitivity" of the nav. If I need to stay on the 5 I know how to do that and don't need to be bothered with how to stay on the freeway. I haven't seen this happen in any navs on the Japanese cars or Android/iPhone apps.
I don't think I have this lane assist display capability in my 2013 535i.
Thanks for your help!

It's a hit or miss. Yesterday, the NAV was way off as it told me I reached my destination that was a block away. Other times, it was spot on.

BMW Navigation Sucks
I bought the navigation option on my 2011 535. I did not have any complaints with the system until I retired and began to travel across the USA. The system's reliability was terrible. After numerous incidents (>100) where I was missing or provided with incorrect routing information in addition to numerous incidents where I was directed to the wrong address, my dealer updated my software to the latest version free of charge. The update did not correct the problems.
I was told BMW switched to the same navigation system used by Cadillac and Lexus on the 2012 models. My dealer traded me into a 2012 535 in an effort to resolve my extreme dissatisfaction with an unreliable navigation system. The navigation system on the 2012 model has been improved, it still does not compare to my $150 Garmin. Based upon my experience, you should not expect BMW to stand behind the warranty on their navigation system. They seem to be more interested in selling software updates than providing their customers with a reliable product. I will never buy another new car without a written promise to provide annual updates to the navigation system software. (My $150 Garmin came with lifetime updates!)
FYI - - - navigation problems include the following items:
1. No verbal instructions provided when traveling through interstate highway interchanges and when changing the route from one interstate highway onto an intersecting interstate highway
2. Missed destination (manually entered address) - - - range from 400 feet up to 2.5 miles
3. Missed destination (destination selected from "Points of Interest" in the navigation system menu)
3. Unable to load destination (system does not recognize the address)
I still travel with my $150 Garmin in order to avoid these problems on my 2012 535i. It seems kind of stupid to stick a Garmin to the windshield of the car but the BMW organization has not shown any ability to resolve the issues.

So, would you buy a sports oriented car from Garmin?
Not me, it's not their forte.
Why expect that from BMW, even at 100K?
It's not their forte. It semi sux but you can talk to it.
Maybe BMW should not offer nav?
I have a Garmin.
Best regards,

It isn't broken yet but I can fix that!

BMW offers a Navigation system and charges big bucks for it.
Every other luxury manufacturer offers Navigation and pretty much every car down to a $10k econobox can be equipped with factory Nav. They are an integral part of driving and automobiles today.
Everyone, regardless of price, does it better than BMW. Everyone.

Pictures Anyone!? Saab Expert??? Are You There?
I have an evenly square hole in my transmission in plain view from in front of the car. I can see straight into the bellhousing, watching the torque converter spin. I want to say theres supposed to be something there but I haven't found a detailed enough picture. I've looked up and down on eBay and image searching on Yahoo. Does anyone at least know what is supposed to be there?
|Would having no tranny fluid keep all or some of the gears from working? I got this Saab with no tranny fluid in it, not even touching the dipstick and apparently reverse still works.
Just another Saab story... freebie though
I have just obtained a free 1993 Saab 9000 CSE w/ 2.3L turbo, automatic, 239,000 miles. Yes I know, a lot of mileage but it looks so good I want to make a profit or impress my girlfriend for a change.
My transmission issues are that it doesn't really have any driving gears. It has reverse, I can fly in reverse with that turbo kickin in but it just doesn't really have a driving gear. It does engage but very slightly. I messed with it in a parking lot (before I pushed it home with my Caprice wagon ) and I would slightly press the gas and I would feel it move just hairs at a time. I would let it sit in neutral and it would do nothing. It has no problem with reverse though.
Now when I got it from my friend, he told me the guy he got it from had replaced some sorta rubber transmission lines with normal rubber hose that couldn't stand the pressure of the transmission and the hose would flop around. I tried looking for it but I didn't see anything. I should probably start off with changing the filter and gasket and fluid and get back to yall. I was wondering if anyone has had this happen to them on their Saab.
I also have engine issues (labelled as Another Saab story... but it was a freebie). Just try to give me the best logical guess. Thanks.

Museum Victoria is delighted to congratulate Bunjilaka Project Officer Kimberley Moulton, who has been awarded a place in the inaugural Arts Indigenous Leadership Program that will be held in Canberra later this month.
The program is a partnership between the Australian Indigenous Leadership Centre, the National Gallery of Australia and Wesfarmers, and aims to address the unbalanced representation of Indigenous Australians in the arts management sector.
At Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre, Kimberley coordinates three exhibitions a year in Birrarung Gallery. The Birrarung Community Exhibition Program features Victorian Aboriginal artists and is an important part of Bunjilaka's celebration of Aboriginal culture as a living culture. "It's another way for MV visitors to explore contemporary Aboriginal culture," explained Kimberley. "We always have changing exhibitions and they're always different. This is a place Victorian Aboriginal people can come and feel proud and know they will be represented in a strong way."
Most recently, Birrarung hosted a retrospective of the work of Ilbijerri Theatre Company called 20 Years: Bold. Black. Brilliant, while an exhibition of works by artist Megan Cadd, Mulana: Spirit, opens on 20 November. Kimberley also contributes to Bunjilaka's education programs and takes community groups through the gallery for interpretive tours.
Of the upcoming ten-day leadership program, Kimberley said, "it's a great opportunity to learn new skills and be able to bring them back to contribute to my work at Bunjilaka which in turn will hopefully contribute to the wider community." She is one of just ten people selected for the program and the only Victorian. The program will provide the chance to meet and learn from Indigenous arts leaders at the National Gallery. "It will also be really exciting to meet young Indigenous professionals working in a similar field and to professionally network on a national level."
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
