Striking DistanceWhen English footballing legend Robbie Fowler turned up to play football in semi-rural Australia, I went up to Queensland to talk to him. It was a bit of a mystery what he was doing there, even to himself, I think. He went on to play in Perth, then went back to the UK to get his coaching badges. This piece was for Alpha magazine. NB, the "God" I refer to in the opener refers to the nickname given to both Fowler and ex-AFL star Gary Ablett.
If there is a God, he lives in Melbourne, answers to Gary and keeps Himself to Himself. If there's a God in far north Queensland, he wears protective headgear and goes by the name Thurston (as if that fools anyone). But now there's another deity north of Brisbane: a foreign idol. Gods move in mysterious ways, but there are few moves as odd as Robbie Fowler to Townsville.
When Robbie Fowler, English soccer player, flew into town in January 2009, he would have been left with few illusions about the challenge he faced. Signs at the airport say, "Welcome to Cowboys country". Taxi drivers think they've heard of him but they're not sure. Either way, he doesn't play rugby league, or they'd know all about it. Fowler can walk into any Townsville pub or shopping centre unrecognised. Take away air travel, just for a second, and the move looks even more remarkable. He is not in Liverpool any more. For a round-ball footballer, he could hardly have hidden himself in a more foreign environment on the planet. Understand this move, you think, and you might find the real Robbie Fowler.
Misunderstanding has plagued Fowler's life. On arrival here, wooed by one of the A-League's two brand-new teams for the 2009-10 season, it was assumed he'd have a quick look, go for a snorkel on the reef, maybe a local barbie or two, then hop on the next plane, never to return. North Queensland Fury? Admire their spunk and all that, but come on. Aussie Jade North was their other marquee prospect and that seemed a saner proposition. And besides, a day after Fowler did leave town, it started raining and didn't stop until half the state was under water. No way would God return now. But he did.
There have been two truly big names taking part in Australia's football league: Dwight Yorke and Fowler. Yorke, a gifted good-time boy, whose new autobiography is a seemingly endless list of nightclubs and babes, lived here in a big Sydney apartment and played for the "glamour" club. To meet Fowler needs a trip to a small industrial estate outside Townsville, where the player is hanging around a corridor in a T-shirt and pants, in the Fury's office units. It couldn't be more low-key. Knowing the Fowler story – not nearly as wild as anything Yorke could offer – it's almost surreal.
Robbie Fowler is the fourth-highest goal-scorer in the history of the English Premiership. In 1993, aged 18, Liverpool FC pushed pro forms under his nose, anxious to secure a player whose scoring exploits at youth level are still legendary. The local lad found himself a teenage millionaire and straight in the Liverpool first-team. He scored on his debut against Fulham in a Cup match. In the second leg, he scored five. A year later he claimed a hat-trick in 4½ minutes, still the fastest in Premiership history. For the next few years, the goals poured in. An avalanche of them. He got to 100 goals faster than any other Liverpool player. The fans gave him the nickname that could best express their adoration.
Primarily left-footed, but with a very useful right, Fowler is the best English finisher of his generation. He'll find any way you want to get that ball in the net: thumps, nudges, headers, curlers, chips, blasters. "He often shoots early, doesn't mind where he shoots from and seems to get late fade on his shots, like a golfer," Mark Bosnich once said, after Fowler stuck three past his Aston Villa side. Almost uniquely, he could also generate power and swerve using very little back-lift, terrorising defenders with improvised strikes.
THIS TENDENCY TO MAKE THINGS UP AS HE WENT ALONG, lethal on the pitch, could be catastrophic elsewhere. His prankster's sense of humour made the men in suits wonder if Fowler's mind was really on the job. Managers of the England national side, always scared of maverick talents, picked him for squads but never could quite trust him in the team. In a decade of top-flight football, 26 caps is a meagre haul.
"I can't say they never picked me because of what they were reading or what people were saying. I don't really know, to be honest," Fowler says. "Whenever we used to go away with England, players would go in their room and relax. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to go out of my room and mix with the hotel staff. I didn't want to look at four walls. So whether the manager thought, 'He's not concentrating on his job, he's not got what it takes,' I don't know." As his career went on, sadly, club managers often felt the same way.
The UK press liked the image of a wayward scamp, but Fowler helped them along. In 1999, as rival Everton fans goaded his alleged drug-taking, Fowler celebrated a goal by snorting the touchline in front of them. Typically, only afterwards did he think about the consequences. Other similar pranks sealed the image. Not far away, as Manchester United's golden generation of Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Neville and Butt won titles and cups, Liverpool's Fowler, Steve McManaman, David James, Jamie Redknapp and Stan Collymore won almost nothing. Seen as gifted, fun loving and lightweight, they were dubbed "The Spice Boys".
"It was a bit of a nightmare," he admits. "I did go out and have a drink, but not as much as what people made out. And if I did go out, it would not affect my football. I would never do it one, two, three nights before a game. I was still always a footballer and did things by the book in terms of that. Maybe people see me out and think, 'He's out all the time.' I don't know. Our manager now, Ian Ferguson, says, 'Listen, any player can go out, but if you do something stupid or it affects your football, then we'll change the nights out.' And it was the same back then."
Perception is a strange thing. There are many broke, screwed-up, washed-up sportsmen, even in the wealth of the Premier League. But Robbie Fowler isn't one of them. If you wanted to get all psychological, you might say there are two Robbie Fowlers in existence. One is the man sat in an office in Townsville. He is almost painfully downbeat. From a poor, close-knit background, he knows his family and mates back home won't put up with a big mouth. He is the anti-Beckham. He'd probably rather die than launch an aftershave. At the height of his career he once said: "I am a naturally down-to-earth person. If ever I got big-headed my dad would put me down." He treats interviews like he would signing footballs: a duty, but not what you'd call fun. Where better than Townsville to avoid all the fame nonsense and just play footy?
"When I first come here, I thought it was really, really quiet," he says. "But the longer I was here, after a week, I found places that are livelier and where there's more people. It grew on me a little bit more. But when I first went round town I didn't have a clue where I was going. It was just typical me, going to the wrong places. I went home, had a good chat with the missus [about the move]. I've got four kids, you see, so we were really, 'Is it worth it? Will the kids like it? Will I like it?' It's a massive decision. With the kids at school, as well."
What finally swung the decision Australia's way, as opposed to, say, the American league with Beckham, or super-rich Qatar, remains between Mr and Mrs Fowler. The reason he does give is a nicely tactful one. "It (Fury) was a new club, and I just felt it was really too good to miss. Hopefully this club will go on for many, many years, and now I've come here I'll be part of the history of that club. Any country you go to, it's rare that you're finding a club starting up in the higher tiers of the league. It was a good choice to make."
So far, so good, he says. They've got a place in Townsville and the three girls are mixing well in school (they also have a baby son). There are few signs that any of them are missing the bright lights or their community in Liverpool. "I'm quite a simple person, I like the easy things in life. I'm not flash or don't go out of my way to get excited or carried away by anything. If it's an easy life, then I'm all for that, and being here you can get into that. When I'm back in England, I don't go for more than the occasional night out in London. I don't go shopping at all the Bond St stores.
"Because I'm like that, I can adapt to anywhere. I'm quite grounded, as well. People can talk to me, I can talk to people. I'll mix with anyone; I'm not big-headed and I'll give people time. I'll treat people the way they treat me; if they treat me nice then I'll treat them nice."
Living in a rugby league town is no problem, either. "When I came over people were saying that. But I've been recognised a bit more than I thought I would have done. That was a big surprise. It's like being back in Liverpool: because I'm there all the time, people don't bother me. They see me all the time – "there he is again" – you know. The mentality here is similar to that. They see me and don't bother me. It's brilliant, and you can get on with your life."
IN SOME WAYS IT'S A SHAME Fowler turned pro just as football in the UK truly went big-time. If he'd been born 20 years earlier, he could have had a laugh without any of the grief that now comes with it. "Since the football league became the Premier League, the scrutiny has magnified. You can't even put into words how much it's magnified. Footballers now are more like actors. They're seen out and people want pictures with them. Years ago you'd get players who'd go to the game on the bus, smoking ciggies. Not a chance in hell that would happen now. The change has been phenomenal. I was probably one of the first [to experience it]. For me at the time it was hard to deal with. And I don't mean that in a derogatory way. Suddenly I had people focusing on my life. Nowadays the young lads get media trained. I never did and players from my era never did.
"You don't go into football to be famous; you just want to do well and be successful. And when you're successful, the fame comes with that. But I just want to do well at football. I love football and if I weren't being paid for it I'd still be playing it. I do a job that I love doing and if it weren't a job I'd just be doing it with my mates."
There is almost no trace here of the other Fowler: the prankster, who even now, rumour has it, has Fury players shuddering at the mention of his name and ice-baths in the same sentence. The sensible Fowler is also famous – for one thing: he is one of the richest footballers in the world. Drugs and nightclubs? Fowler put most of those Premiership pay packets in property. Lots of property. Fans have been known to sing, "We all live in a Robbie Fowler house" to the tune of Yellow Submarine. After more than a decade of mauling by the British press, Fowler is clearly still irritated by his flaky reputation, but he has definitely had the last laugh. "I've had people who looked after me unbelievably," he says. "If you've got the right people around you, and you look after your money, it's hard to screw up."
Another thing that irritates him is being written off. Both the serious and the scamp Fowler have a love of football in common. He talks about his financial affairs as though they are part of a life that belongs some time in the future. For now, all he wants to do is play. "The fact is I've come over and there's a few people who were saying, 'Oh, he's come over here on a holiday or his last pay day' and I've proved them wrong. But fair play to these people who were saying that at the start, they've put their hand up and know they've made a mistake."
After 2000-01, a season in which he and Liverpool won the League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup, Fowler's career meandered. Forced out of Liverpool by manager Gerard Houllier, he trailed from club to club, hampered by an ever more serious hip problem that eventually required surgery. Despite the goals, trophies and wealth, there remains the feeling in the UK that he has somehow failed; frittered his potential away. Fowler doesn't dwell on this too much. For the first time in years he feels like the old Robbie. He may ache a bit sometimes and the searing pace is not what it was, but he is fit and scoring goals. And he is still only 34.
Those who wrote off Fowler when he arrived are probably very glad to admit their mistake. Watching him is a treat. At time of writing the Fury are bottom of the A-League and ravaged by injuries. But Fowler's very presence adds thousands to every gate, home and away; he's scoring high-quality goals; and his sheer enjoyment in every moment is obvious, no matter how many are watching. He loves it all. "It's massive. When it's the only thing you've ever done – and it brings you so much enjoyment, doesn't it, football? Especially when you're winning games, doing well and scoring goals, it's just a brilliant feeling."
To his own amazement, the teenage prankster now finds himself the oldest player in the side. "It seems like yesterday I was the youngest. That time seems to have flown by. It's surreal." He is the senior pro, wise old sage and all that. "The players here do look up to me, whether I like it or not, because of what I've achieved in my career. I was lucky enough to play with some great players and you pick up things."
Whether he does like it or not, the A-League needs him and others like him, to pass on their skills and experience. And their enthusiasm. "I just love football. I'm playing in a new team with new players. At the end of the day we are all in the same boat and we all want to be successful for this side. Every player in every team wants to do well. There are players who mightn't be blessed skilfully, but they'll work hard and make up for it. And we're all being paid for what we love doing. If I weren't getting paid I'd still be doing it."
We should pray for another season from Robbie Fowler, because, even in Cowboys country, they'll be thanking God for small miracles.
The EPL's Top Five Goal-scorers
Alan Shearer
Goals: 260
Clubs: Southampton, Blackburn, Newcastle
Willpower and endless practice made him England's deadliest striker for a decade, despite serious injuries.
Andy Cole
Goals: 187
Clubs: Newcastle, Manchester United, Blackburn, Fulham, Man City, Portsmouth…
The goal poacher scored at a ridiculous pace for Newcastle, then teamed up with Dwight Yorke at Man Utd.
Thierry Henry
Goals: 174
Clubs: Arsenal
Arsenal's cutting edge of eight seasons matured from a streaky winger to a silky striker with awesome pace.
Robbie Fowler
Goals: 163
Clubs: Liverpool, Leeds Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Blackburn
In a career hindered by injury, Fowler was still a finisher supreme, while his all-round play was underrated.
Les Ferdinand
Goals: 149
Clubs: Queens Park Rangers, Newcastle, Tottenham, West Ham, Leicester, Bolton…
A big, popular, prolific and much-travelled frontman, Ferdinand's strike-rate at QPR and Newcastle especially, were top-class.

Recording your child's life in words can be a very fulfilling way to capture the special moments of his life. Sure a picture is worth a thousand words, but it's also nice to have written descriptions of how you felt at a given time and place in your child's life.
Beyond the Scrapbook
The photo scrapbook has become almost mandatory for the new parent and creating one can be an overwhelming task. Gone are the baby books our mothers tried to keep up, with scraps of baptism records and locks of hair. Today's scrapbooks are works of art. While they can be beautiful keepsake treasures, modern scrapbooks are also a lot of work and the emphasis on creating a good looking end product can lead to a perfectionism that may harm the process of recording the memory. At worst, no memory gets recorded because parents are too intimidated by the whole idea.
If you love your scrapbooks, try adding more text to your pages. This is commonly known as journaling, but it is usually secondary to the images. Consider keeping notes in your own hand. In an effort to make everything look pretty, printed text in attractive fonts is often chosen over handwriting, but a hundred years from now your handwriting will be a precious heirloom no computer can replicate.
Unlike scrapbooks where the emphasis is on the product, try to develop a process for adding records of your child's life in words. You don't have to write a book. Work at your own pace and capture what's important to you.
Major Events
Many of the little milestones of a child's life can be written down quickly in a journal or computer document. Many families are creating blogs, which are a great place to keep those written memories. If you use a blog to keep family and friends up to date, make sure you keep copies of your posts in a safe place. You may want to go through periodically and print them out, perhaps incorporating them into a special album. Many copy centers will print and bind a book for you very inexpensively. This makes a great graduation or wedding gift.
Consider keeping journals by season. Wouldn't it be nice to have memories all your child's birthdays in one place? Imagine how gratifying it will be in the future for yourself as well as your child to browse through your personal writings of how you felt on each of his birthdays. One approach is by writing your child a letter every year on his birthday or another special day.
Favorite foods make for wonderful writing inspiration. Imagine creating a cookbook complete with stories about the first or most memorable times the meals were shared.
Write Your ABCs
One of my favorite ways of stimulating the creative juices is by writing out the ABCs. The beauty of this exercise is that you can do it anytime. Whenever you have a few free minutes you go to your notebook or computer file and start writing. For A you might want to jot down the memory of your child's first messy applesauce adventure. Or you may think of the word apple, which reminds you school and then you think of his first day of Kindergarten where you were the blubbering mother in the hall wishing he were back in his stroller. An inexpensive notebook makes it easy to jot down thoughts on the run. Even if you've only got ten minutes to write (think waiting for sports practice to finish) you can accumulate quite a body of work in very small chunks of time.

Talks start over a new Firefighters' Memorial
Consultation has begun on a new site and design for the CFA Firefighters' Memorial.
A team of experienced volunteers - Alan Monti, Bob MacDonald and Peter Davis - is meeting with families and brigades who have lost members to gather their views on a new memorial.
CFA volunteers and staff can also have their say through an online survey, launched today.
The Firefighters' Memorial recognises the 67 CFA members and the 11 Bushfire Brigades' firefighters who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of the community. It's an important symbol of sacrifices made and lives changed forever, as well as a long-running site for the annual memorial service.
The CFA Board's decision to close the Fiskville Training College means the current Memorial is no longer accessible. We want to make sure those who have lost their lives in the line of duty are not forgotten, and are working to identify an appropriate location for a new memorial.
The site, and the sacrifices it represents, will be treated with respect and sensitivity. Depending on the views expressed during our talks, parts of the existing Memorial could be incorporated into the new design.
As we move ahead with the consultation process, CFA will speak to families, friends, brigades and communities and these conversations will play a major role in planning the new Memorial.
The online survey can be accessed here and runs for almost eight weeks, closing at 11.59pm on Friday, 2 October.
We look forward to hearing your ideas.

Johanna Nickerson-Patterson of Michigan
Hi Forum,
My name isn't spelled exactly the same, but I hope you will excuse it, as I read some where on the web they are all different spellings of the same name.
My search is for information on Johanna NICKERSON. My information has her as being born in Maryland, October 14, 1818 died November 20, 1899. She married James Homer PATTERSON, he was born in Medina County Ohio. February 26, 1815, he died January 18, 1879. They are both buried in Fulton Township, Gratiot County, Michigan.
Their Children were all born in Medina County Ohio. Their children; -Susan PATTERSON, born 1847, -Sarah PATTERSON, Born 1848, -ElizabethPATTERSON, Born 1850, -Ryle PATTERSON, Born 1854, -Elisha PATTERSON, Born 1857, -Samuel Homer PATTERSON Born April 28, 1860, died September 24, 1932, married Alice Mary More, December 24, 1882.
The information I would find most exciting is the names of her parents. But I would be happy with any information you have.

You probably know how dangerous humidity can be not only for your health but for your hardwood furniture as well. This is why you should keep the humidity level in your home under control. Here is how improper humidity levels can damage your hardwood furniture.
Cracks and splits
In case the air in your house is too dry, then your hardwood furniture will certainly crack and split in time. Usually, this happens during the cold season when our indoor air is extremely dry due to the fact that our heating system is on most of the time. Fortunately, we can avoid this by getting a humidifier. A unit like this is not expensive, and it does a great job. A good humidifier will add moisture to the air, and this will bring lots of benefits not only for you and your family but for your furniture as well. A device like this is also highly recommended for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Moreover, the quality of your sleep will improve, and you will experience a deeper and restful sleep. You won't need to worry about cracks and splits anymore, and your beautiful furniture will last a longer period of time. Have in mind to get a device that has an automatic control system, due to the fact that it will automatically sense the humidity level, and it will adjust it accordingly.
Wood will swell
Having too much humidity in your home can also be very dangerous for your furniture. Wood will easily swell, and unfortunately if this happens, there is not much you can do about it. You will definitely need to replace it, and this obviously will cost you lots of money. Why waiting for this to happen, when you have the option to avoid this situation by installing a dehumidifier in your home?! A device like this is very useful for your health as well. It removes most of the air contaminants, and therefore, your health won't be affected in any way. Moreover, you will find easier to breathe and sleep. Your wooden furniture won't be damaged and it will look like new for a longer period of time. It is highly recommended to go for a whole house dehumidifier, so you can breathe healthy indoor air in the whole house. Search the internet for some 2016 dehumidifier comparisons and see what customers have to say about the most popular units. In case you deal with a too high level of humidity in your home, then this is the best thing you could do, in order to protect your health and your hardwood furniture as well.
When reading reviews or the latest 2016 dehumidifier comparisons, try not to be too affected by positive feedback and keep in mind that it is important for this unit's capacity to be proportionate to the size of the room where you will likely use it. Moreover, invest in a device with a remote control and programmable features, so that you can control it more easily.

Chromie shuddered against the harsh, cold winds. The whiplash from using that spell incorrectly had left her weak and misreable. Luckily, her bronze robes were scarcely damaged, but provided little warmth against the harsh winds. Sighing heavily, Chromie almost regretted her decision, almost.The fate of the world relied on this small change, whether it be good or bad.
Gazing up longingily at the twinkling night sky, she frowned at the lack of the bright shine from Regulus. Her bronze hair whipped dangerously fast, grazing her check with a small cute. Chromie winced but heeded no attention to it, she had a job to do and she wasn't planning on wasting the night. She had been sent here for a reason and there was no way she was going back.
Turning her attention back to the lavish mansion before her, she noticed that all the lights were off and that likely the household was asleep. Frowning at the lack of concern the humans potrayed, Chromie trudged forward quietly and nimbly. The darkness of the night had no effect on her eye sight, though it did concel her presence from prying eyes. It occured to Chromie that the humans didn't know what was going to happen.
Looking at the double, red oaken doors infront of her, not in awe but boredom. She had seen many doors like this and none were appealing enough to her, but that was her opinion. Reaching her hand out towards the richly intricate design of the door handle, she almost gave up on her resolve right there, but the world's fate was relying on her so she didn't.
Chromie winced as the door creaked heavily, hurting her sensitive ears and hoping that no one woke up to the noise. After waiting a few minutes and not identifying any sounds of alarm or panic, she proceeded forward up the stairs. It would be troublesome if someone did wake up, Chromie would have to retreat for the night and come back the next one.
The mansion itself was as grand in the inside, as the tell-tale signs on the outside showed. The red, expensive carpet completed with priceless ornaments decorating the halls with the occasional painting. The moonlight coming through the window added an even more refined sense of beauty and phatomnish feel. Chromie shrugged off the feel, it was as if fate had knew what was going to happen. The bronze haired woman scoffed, of course it knew, it sent her there.
After several twists and turns down multiple corridors, Chromie arrived at the door that lead to her entering the room, the bronze cloaked woman noticed her surroundings with strange contemplation.
It was a typical baby's room, a wooden cot in one corner of the room accompanied by a wooden rocking chair next to it. A bookshelf with several children's books and story books, a brown teddy bear sitting on the first shelf. A rocking horse off the the far side of the room, completed with a bouncy, blue ball sitting innocently next to it. The gigantic window had it's own bench postitioned infront of it. The walls were a light beige colour with a cream coloured carpet, the curtains were white and made out of fine silk. It was actually very simple room for a child of a noble.
Chromie walked towards the cot, staring at the innocently, sleeping baby girl inside, wrapped in a warm, blue blanket. " The future is in your hands...Lucy Heartifilia." She whispered warningly, before picking up the bundle and made her escape swiftly out the open window. Chromie was never seen again, nor was Lucy, until later on in her life.
No one had noticed that the Heartifilia heiress was gone until later that morning. Layla Heartifilia was distraught, she lost her daughter to a kidnapping, there wasn't even a note! Jude Heartifilia was just as worried as his wife. Layla just hoped that who ever had her child was taking care of her and not abusing her.
``~``~``~``Unknown location``~``~``~``
A baby cried, hungry and cold, which got an annoyed grumble from the nearby dragon. " Annoying human. And what is that smell!"

By Christopher Cameron
Christopher Cameron's memoir of his 12-year professional career as concert and opera singer begins with strange modesty. The son of a physician father and a mother who was a "decent pianist," he claims to have had "an uneventful, undramatic, healthy relationship" with his parents and four siblings. He describes himself as "a miserable scholar," "a model of recalcitrance when it came to high school discipline," and "a non-starter" in athletics. As if this confession of inadequacy were insufficient, Cameron goes on to admit that "there was no single thread of expertise or musical preference that wove itself through [his] career as a singer," though he made all his early solo appearances on the concert stage. He remains modest about his success in vocal competitions (he beat out Ben Heppner once in a Mozart Singing Competition), and he concludes that he failed in career-management. Cameron undermines the very title of his memoir when he confesses that he was not suited physically, dramatically, or temperamentally to the role of Dr. Bartolo, "one of the most famous of buffo bass opera characters," and which he never managed to perform "with much success at all," as many times as he sang it.
Given such devastating candour, why did he opt to write this book? Because of music and his love for it. In his immaturity and adolescent confusion, music was his "companion and confessor." And when he developed in Grade 9 an infatuation for a girl cast, it seemed only fitting that she played percussion with him in the school band. He acted and sang in Oklahoma! a little later, sounding ridiculous in his "high-pitched countrified Pappy Yokum type of voice" but loving the comic lines as Andrew Carnes. Hired as a supernumerary for an upcoming Canadian Opera Company season, he played a captive Ethiopian in Aida, was paid a dollar per rehearsal, and two dollars a show, for which he wore black body paint and a fuzzy wig. When not on stage, he would stand in the wings or sit in the house during rehearsals to watch and listen. Fascinated by chorus master, Lloyd Bradshaw, who was a magician "seeming to draw the music out of the singers as if by sorcery," he eagerly accepted Bradshaw's invitation to sing in the youth choir of St. George's United Church, and subsequently becoming the baritone lead in The Gondoliers, and giving various choral performances in another church and then being taped by the CBC at Christmas.
His book covers some of his personal life (romance, marriage, fatherhood) and moves over his early years in the profession, marking his audition for the Royal Conservatory of Music, the growth of his voice, reputation, and musical knowledge. It also details his experience with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Mendelssohn Choir (conducted by Elmer Iseler), his audition in 1976 for the Opera School, Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, and the culture-shock he suffered when he moved from choral music to opera. Famous names begin to collect in his narrative (Ben Heppner, Teresa Stratas, Ermanno Mauro, Gino Quilico, Mark DuBois, Mark Pedrotti, Caralyn Tomlin, Katherine Terrell, etc) but Cameron fails to share revealing anecdotes about these singers, opting, instead, for digressions on Verdi, vocal categories, technical information on vibrato and resonators, effects of the body or physiology on voice, stage management, costumes and footwear, or the requisites for being an opera director. While interesting and even important in their own right, these digressions are not made an organic part of his narrative but seem to serve as space-fillers that belong more properly in a manual or reference book. The impression of a guide or self-help book is reinforced when he categorizes the factors that led him to become a singer. There are candid moments when he does dare to pass less than complimentary comments on a celebrity or two or on the O'Keefe Centre ("the quagmire of acoustic quicksand"), and there is undeniably good memoir-writing in the chapter "Singing In My Chains," but in sum, his book is too modest and too tepid by far.

The Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad has received a donation of four sets of specially designed pet oxygen masks to enable rescuers to resuscitate pets rescued during house fires. The gift came from at-home pet services provider Canine Company.
Deputy Chief Bucky Buchanan requested the donation after learning about the company's Canine Saves campaign to get the life-saving masks into the hands of first responders in communities where the company's clients live.
'Masks similar to these were recently used on a house fire and helped as part of the team effort to save a dog and 2 cats in Raritan Township" stated Chief Frank Setnicky of Clinton Squad. "Adding the additional units will improve the chances of not only us helping human victims, but also our family pets" after an emergency.
The volunteers and staff of CFARS recently trained on the new masks prior to placing them on 3 ambulances, REHAB units and Heavy Rescue unit. Members were joined by our own family members who helped play "victims" for the demonstrations.
When fire strikes at home, family pets are at greatest risk because they are often unable to leave the house. An estimated 40,000 die each year from smoke inhalation. The cone-shaped masks are designed to fit over the pet's snout over. Each set includes three sizes that fit a wide range of pets – from small mammals to giant breed dogs — and connect to standard oxygen tanks the rescue teams carry.
To ensure rescuers know there are pets in a home, Canine Company is offering free "Pets Inside" decals to families in CFARS service area. To request a decal, go to https://www.canincecompany.com/topic/petdecal.aspx.
"Our company was founded by a family of pet lovers and our mission is to help other families keep their pets healthy, safe and happy, " said Renee Coughlin of Canine Company. "We do that with the services we offer and it's focus of our charitable programs, too." Last year, Canine Company donated more than 120 sets of masks to first responders across the Northeast, including to 44 New Jersey fire departments and EMS squads.
The Clinton First Aid & Rescue Squad (http://www.clintonems.org) is a non-profit organization that provides pre-hospital Emergency Medical Services and Rescue Services to the Town of Clinton, Clinton Township, Lebanon Borough and portions of Franklin Township and Union Township. CFARS will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2018 with a parade on May 20, 2017, combined with the Clinton Fire Department's 125th Anniversary (http://www.ClintonFireRescueParade.com)
Canine Company provides at-home pet care products and services including the Invisible Fence brand pet containment systems and Manners obedience training to pet parents across New Jersey, New York and New England. Through its Canine Gives campaign, the company supports pet rescue and provides pet oxygen masks to first responders. For information, visit http://www.caninecompany.com or call 800-818-3647

White on White by denimhuntdotcom featuring skinny leg pants
Most of us are layering our pristine white items this Spring thanks to the white on white trend that's popping up everywhere. It's refreshing to finally be able to wear our numerous white tops with our white jeans and shorts, don't you think? But just because you can wear all white doesn't mean you have to keep it clean. Brands from Black Orchid to Levi's finish their white jeans in super light colored patterns that almost feel as if you're wearing a white on white print. Pair them with a white asymetrical blazer and a clean white tee for a look that's so so chic.


text: Hi I live in the UK and at first that put me off joining, however after some thought I realised you lot over the water are so much more open about the problems we face than in the UK - if you say your kids have ADHD over here its like saying you have the clap :/ My story - I have 7 children - the first two were born prem by 4 & 6 weeks - DS1 Has been recently (Sept 11) diagnosed with ADHD/AS, my 3rd Child DD2 has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) & sensory processing disorder (SPD) (sensory processing disorder) & P&SCD (personal & social communication disorder) my 6th child DD4 Has been referred and is being considered on the Autistic Spectrum Also. About 2 years ago my already turbulent and ill-tempered daughter began to behave extreme to say the least - swearing, stealing, lying, violent outbursts and strange crying and screaming - when fconfronted with evidence of her stealing or lies she shows no remorse, no guilt - in fact she gets angry that she has been discovered - I am not a harsh or cruel parent I havent smacked my children, I had home births, breast fed, attachment parented and have used all the positive parenting techniques I know of. She then about a year ago started running away - shes never been one for coming in on time or even for meals - then it got to staying out overnight (she will be 13 this month). She is fully developed and is as tall as I am physically strong and NOT afraid to use violence towards me or her father or her siblings, she lies tell people i beat her - the local police have spent 208 hours longing for her from Jan 2012 til now including 3 overnight stays - my sister had her stay over for 2 weeks she came home - we found £700 worth of goods she had stolen from my sister - digital cameras, mobile phones, jewellery, makeup (all of which she already owns). Recently (6 days ago) she went missing again for nearly 27 hours - she was brought back by police - she was aggressive and oppositional even with them - they stood there clearly judging me for lack of parenting until she proceeded to run off from them (causing a chase on foot and car) when they brought her home the second time she had booted one copper in the privates, slapped another, called them every name in the sun - they werent so superior then - she had told them I had beat her (thank God I have witnesses to prove I hadn't) they opened whats known in the UK as a Section 47 child protection order on her - even after she admitted to lying about the beating - now I have Social Services breathing down my neck - she destroyed my downstairs area kicked the door in to the family room, smashed ornaments, photo frames and wrote cuss words on my notice boards - she attacked her father, a family friend and myself, threw a rock at her dad which narrowly missed the baby (aged 2). I am at my wits end - I have tried everything - my kids have always had rules & consequences + & - I am consistent - far from perfect but a good mum who adores her kids - now I am at risk of losing ALL of them because of the behaviour of just one. The past few weeks I have felt so low myself - just wanting to curl up into a ball and die - I worry for her, for her future as well as for the safety of her siblings, my husband has suffered 2 strokes and suffers from anxiety disorder - unfortunately he and her clash like crazy and I feel like piggy in the middle - whatever I do or say is always wrong - and if I dont speak up then I obviously dont care. I feel so helpless to alter the dynamics in the family - my other special needs kiddies need so much extra care anyways, and the "normal" ones as well - my hubby doesnt deal with conflict very well - becomes aggressive and anxious etc etc - so I feel at a no win situation. I have asked my husband to move out after he shouted at my 4 year old DD6 (suspected Autism) I kindly said if she is autistic she cannot help her behaviour and if she isnt then shouting wont help anyway - he flew into a rage and I snapped. I am scared stiff of the future alone as a single mum of 7 kids - isolated from family and unable to drive or afford transport to meet the family needs. I am so sorry for off loading all this on you guys but I suppose its what this place is for. Thanks so much for just letting me know I AM NOT ALONE I am usually a very positive and bubbly person, full of patience and love of life, but since Christmas my mental health and physical health is really suffering - noone seems to care within my immediate family - my friends have watched me go through this - not knowing what to say/do for the best - they now are struggling to comprehend why I am under the social services and being classed as a danger - its destroying me slowly. Thanks - madhippyma ME - PND & PTSD & ADHD/AS SO - Anxiety Disorder/Dysphasia/Dyspraxia (brain injury through stroke) DS1 - ADHD/AS DD1 - difficult child and possible conduct disorder of some kind DD2 - Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)/sensory processing disorder (SPD) & P&SCD DD3 - Normal so far - bit mischievous & cheeky but nothing DS2 - Cogenital Scoliosis (surgery at 2 years) DD4 - ADHD/Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) DS3 - 2 year old - seems perfectly ok at the mo :/

I am so excited to FINALLY show you guys my family room makeover. Two years ago we moved into our forever home. It was quite the journey and you can read my Home story if you want to know more.
Here is what our family room looked like before we moved in. This pic is from our appraisal.
Things have definitely changed. Here is the after.
It was a weird route getting here. One day I woke up to find this on our ceiling.
There were several of these all over the ceiling and they were dripping. The disaster cleanup guys were called in and more holes were made.
They pulled out a big chunk of carpet because the flood had rained down on it.
Then we had to have these big fans running 24 hrs a day to avoid mold. They are loud and gave us a headache.
But my kiddos had fun with them.
All of the flood pics were taken with my cell and can be found on my instagram account.
Since we had the carpet ripped up, we decided we weren't going to put down new carpet. I wanted wood floors.
This picture was taken at Christmas time. Right after we put the floors in. My hubby was working 15 hr days 6 to 7 days a week so he is never home. My girls and I put the floors in by ourselves. My 8 and 11 year old hammered in about 25% of the floors and were by my side for every single plank laid. {the flood was extensive and we ended up putting in 2500 sq feet of flooring}
I am so stinking proud of how hard they worked and what great attitudes they had! My girls rock.
We also tore the carpet off the stairs and put in wood.
I was nervous but learned it isn't too hard to install hardwood stairs.
Since the ceiling was opened up, my hubby decided he should put can lights in. Electrical is not in my wheel house. So he found the time to sleepily put them in. And now the ceiling looks like this:
It was hubby's idea to put two fans in the ceiling and I LOVE it. It gets hot in the summer. Especially with three big windows. But we love our view too much to cover them.
So now the big construction is over and our family room is back together. Want a tour?
Let me remind you of the before and after.
Aren't those floors gorgeous?
Here is how I styled my fireplace.
We love to travel and I always try to pick up something for the home from the places we visit. It reminds us of how much fun we had. The surfboard and carving are from Hawaii. The turtle my hubby made for me out of copper. Because he knows we love swimming with sea turtles. And have awesome memories from Grand Cayman. You can find the love is spoken here printable on my blog.
Our tv cabinet was made over from a dresser.
I love decorating with gourds. They dry out with such a great texture.
Continuing around the room, this chair is everyone's favorite.
Not only do I love the lines, it is so comfy. Behind it is one of the windows we just can't cover up. Want to see the view?
Our backyard neighbors are dairy farmers. And we love looking out and seeing the cows in the fields. At night you can see the lights from the city in the distance.
Standing at the tv cabinet and facing the family room, you will see our couch and coffee table.
I don't love my couch but for now it is what we have. And it is pretty comfy as every seat reclines. I made some pillows for the couch.
I have two galleries on the walls. One behind the couch.
And one on the wall opposite.
I love having photos of my family all over my home. If you want to do a gallery wall, check out my tutorial showing an easy way to make a gallery wall.
Thanks for joining me on my family room tour. It was a bit of a different route getting here but I love it.

Luxury Lush Pud - £1.75 on sale
I had this last year but this year it was a vibrant pink instead of purple. Luxury lush pud is perfect before bedtime as it contains lavender oils combined with ylang ylang and tonka to help make you relax after a long day, so I am looking forward to having this after a long day.
Lord Of The Misrule - Not available anymore :(
Another favorite that I had tried last year. Lord of the misrule is a blend of spices patchouli and black pepper oil which is perfect for the festive season leading up to the new year and whats more this has a surprise as it contains popping candy.
Shoot For The Stars - On sale at £1.75
My sister got me this for Christmas thankfully, just as well because when I went to the shop they were already sold old and I can see why. Candy Mountain is a cotton candy scent which is like the popular soap rock star which is one of my favorite Lush soaps.
Butterbear - Unavailable :(
This is from Lush's all year round favorite butterball which has been transformed into a teddy just for the holiday season which is fantastic. Butterbear has a generous amount of cocoa butter to help keep skin soft with its blend of vanilla and ylang ylang.
Dashing Santa - On sale £1.47
I could not resist to get this as its perfect for the festive season even though Christmas day has past it still keeps the holiday cheer until the new year. Dashing Santa is a blend of mandarin oil, bergamot oil and orange flower to help get the spring in your step.
Snow Fairy Shower Gel - Unavailable
These were literally flying off the shelves to its the first thing I put in my basket I was lucky as I got the last medium sized one and it was not long before the rest were snapped up. Snow fairy is a blend of cotton candy. This is also available in the magic wand and the godmother soap.
Overall I am very pleased with my boxing day sale haul and got so much more then I expected to get but then again can you really have to much Lush in your life?
Did you get anything in the Lush sale?

text: Okay, I am in LOVE with this look!! What size pochettes does it come in, are they available through the boutiques or are they sold out? (eluxury only has the coin purse) I'm hoping for the Speedy 25! I was going to buy the regular damier speedy 25 but when I saw this one, well it took my breath away. I'm head over heels in love!

We always wanted one of these Charlie Brown record players when they first came out. Didn't get one, but that was the 80s way. Kids never got what they wanted back then. I specifically remember being 10 years old and walking into the Toys-R-Us and seeing this marvelous creation in front of my eyes with a price tag of, gulp.. $32.99. I pointed out to my Dad. He looked at it, looked at the price, then looked at me and told me to "Get a job."
30 years later I find myself going up and down the aisles at Swap-O-Rama, asking the guy selling 8-Tracks if I can look at the good stuff in the van. Note: Don't ever ask anyone at Swap-O-Rama you want to check out the "good stuff", especially if they have a van…
Well dreams can come true. Thanks to Record Store Day a limited run of Peanuts turntables will be back on the street. We don't know they price yet. Hell, we don't even know if we will get one yet… but these little beauties are sure to take you back into time. And they won't last long either, so make sure to make plans to get down to see us early on April 19. (Lionel Richie albums not included.)
These units are Sold Out at the distribution level! That means the only time you will be able to get your hands on one is on Record Store Day from an independent record shop. We will have 3 available, first come first serve on April 19. MSRP is $129.98. As with all things Record Store Day, we recommend you enjoy your purchases and try to refrain from eBay flipping.
Doors Open at 8AM on RSD14

FAT – the richest and the best part of anything. Ask me to define fat & that is my straight-faced, honest-to-goodness answer. Coz fat is really just so darn good. Everyone loves it. Food without fat just isn't worth eating, if you ask me.
And chef MIKEL ZAGUIRRE of the Locavore fame agrees. He agrees so much that everything he serves at FAT -the resto has just that.. Fat -the compound. Straight & simple. Our arteries be damned! :P
FAT Restaurant
FAT Restaurant embodies guilt-free comfort food. It is unabashedly unapologetic in its gastronomic delights. In fact, it uses fat in all its dishes because fat brings out all the flavors. Never mind the cholesterol & calories. Watch this short clip & drool..
Armed with my just-received, not-so-good, blood chem result hidden & stashed at the very bottom of my purse with my Kap in tow, we headed to FAT Restaurant the other night. My good conscience tells me: zip you mouth.. zip your mouth. But the other one (which won by the way), kept whispering in my ear: BACON, BACON, BACON!
#YOLO right, so in I went with my biggest, most dazzling smile! :P
The days leading to our visit, reading up on FAT, I've been basically warned that Chef Kel uses fat as his tool in his new resto to give his fans awesome & flavorful dishes that only the badass amount of fat can bring. Armed with this knowledge, all I could say to myself as I was being led to my seat was: FML (Fat-My-Life!).
We've all been told that FAT is bad. But really, is FAT bad? The fact is: we all need fats. Fats help nutrient absorption, nerve transmission, maintaining cell membrane integrity etc. So basically, fat is GOOD. *snicker – Somewhat. What's BAD is this! THIS is the kind of fat that's very very bad..
And so, to drown my sorrows away, I ATE Ms. Piggy..
As for forever, I believe that come what may, mayroon pa rin..
FAT. Fabulous And Thick. This Miz Piggy is signing off. Good mawnin'!:-*

Hello! I'm Tom. I designed a game called Gunpoint, about rewiring things and punching people, and now I'm working on a new one called Heat Signature, about sneaking aboard randomly generated spaceships. Here's some more info on all the games I've worked on, here's the podcast I do, here are the videos I make on YouTube, here are some of the articles I wrote for PC Gamer, and here are two short stories I wrote for the Machine of Death collections.
By me. Uses Adaptive Images by Matt Wilcox.
I made chocolates for my family again at Christmas. Here's what I did!
Melt some dark chocolate!
Mix with almond milk to make ganache – my sister and her partner are vegan, so I make them all vegan for simplicity.
Put nice stuff in the ganache. I did one with maple syrup and pecan chunks, one with cinnamon and orange cranberries, and one with vanilla and dried cherries.
Freeze ganache! It's too soft to chocolate-coat at room temp, so I chill it overnight and cut it up the next day.
Coated in regular chocolate, so they won't be sticky at room temp. Wouldn't it have been great if I'd thought to put pecans on each one when they were molten?
Fuck it, I'm gluing the pecans on.
And cranberries for the cranberry ones.
And… some fruit thingies for the cherry ones. Dried cherries look too similar to dried cranberries.
Dusted with cinnamon.
Need something to put them in. If only we'd taken the precaution of drinking a lot of whisky on the Crate and Crowbar this year. Oh wait!
I can only make one pot out of each case because the lid part is kind of important.
The different one is dried apricots stuffed with things like dried strawberries or blueberries or nuts – for my 2-year-old niece, they're keeping her off chocolate at first.
I did have one box that was basically perfect for this, so I put all the least misshapen ones in it and gave that one to my gran.
Niece review: "Yummy!"
TooNu: Aw :) very nice. I also make something for everybody at Christmas. This year was jars of pickled lemons, they are so good and bring a bit of variety to many vegetarian dishes. Also my apartment smelled better for having 50 odd lemons sliced open :) a good day.
Mark: These look great. How do you coat the bottoms?
Karl Drinkwater: Now we're talking! I buy quite a few boxes of vegan truffly things at this time of year. I think it's time to step up and make more of my own. Plus I can be as exotic in the flavourings as I want, or add liqueur for bonus richness.

As I found out from working on this assignment from Strategic Finance magazine, EPM2 stands for Enterprise Performance Management. The "2" part is because a new generation of the software has been developed to better help MSCO's (manufacturing and supply chain organizations) plan and manage their businesses.
Mary Zisk, the art director, always does a great job of helping me wade through the alphabet soup of corporate accounting that fills the prose of the magazine she directs. She boiled it down to thinking of EPM2 as helping companies that make and sell their own stuff. She suggested some kind of factory setting.
Northwestern University
Northwestern University commissioned me to illustrate several essays in their alumni magazine. What was especially fun on this assignment was their openness to taking an entirely different approach on each image.
First was an essay about Northwestern alums doing interviews with college applicants to make the process more personal. I thought of this as the alums creating a sort of portrait of the applicant.
Next was a piece about helping people with aphasia – inability to speak or understand speech as a result of a brain injury.
This was a lighter essay about a lifetime love of running.
and running as part of travel.
The last story was about a student organization of veterans helping other veterans adjust to life at college after serving in active duty.

A New Direction
So an illustrator is supposed to develop their style or "brand" (as they call it these days) and stick to it. Unfortunately that can sort of stunt one's creativity. And I can only cut little people out of paper for so long before going a little loopy. So it was fun to take this assignment in a new direction.
I've developed a body of work based on drawing with Krink K-60 graffiti markers. John Paxson over at Washington State Magazine was open to taking this new bolder, simpler visual approach on an assignment to illustrate sleep research being conducted at WSU's sleep research lab in Spokane. They are researching how sleep (and sleep deprivation) affect job performance. Particularly jobs directly relating to public safety. John and I were both especially compelled by the examples in the story about airline tragedies and sleep deprived pilots.
Not everyone was comfortable with this new approach but John lobbied hard to get it into print. Thanks John for pushing for it.

Toyota Motor Corp. makes a motion to the bench on behalf of consumers who want to have their cake and eat it, too.
Exhibit A: the '06 Lexus RX 400h hybrid cross/utility vehicle. Exhibit B: the '06 Toyota Highlander Hybrid.
Together they present the case it is possible to offer utility, comfort and power in a comfortable, guilt-free package.
For the record, the RX 400h is the first luxury hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) on the market, and the Highlander is the first 7-passenger HEV. Both are full HEVs, in that they can run in electric-only or gasoline-engine-only mode, or both. They also represent the first 4-wheel-drive hybrids, with a third electric motor sending power to the rear wheels.
The technology is the fourth generation of Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain.
The pair shows how much HEVs have evolved. They will put many competitors on the defense, as they require no compromises. Rather, the evidence suggests the hybrids are superior to the conventional vehicles from which they are derived.
The only matter with which the jury may take issue is price.
Even with gasoline prices forecast to hit $3 a gallon by summer, it will take a lot of trips to the pump to make up the difference between the $48,535 Lexus RX 400h and the standard RX 330 that starts at $37,825, with a $650 destination fee.
Granted, some of the extra cost is in the new-generation Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management stability control system and other standard features that Lexus says represent about $6,000 worth of options on the RX 330.
Pricing for the Highlander HEV will be released closer to this summer's on-sale date. A conventional Highlander with all-wheel drive starts at $25,480, not including $565 destination charges. The price premium for the hybrid is expected to be about $5,000.
But in terms of performance, the midsize HEVs deliver bang — especially off the line — for the buck.
Both CUVs mate gasoline and electric motors to provide V-8 power with the judicious fuel economy of a compact sedan.
They achieve 268 hp (38 hp more than the RX 330 and conventional Highlander) by combining a 3.3L DOHC V-6 gasoline engine with a converter that boosts a 288-volt battery to 650 volts worth of electricity from the three motor generators.
The result is enough electric power to start the engine, boost torque during initial acceleration and provide drive to all four wheels.
For those squeamish about technology malfunctions, the hybrid system carries a warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles (161,000 km).
The 400h can accelerate from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 7.3 seconds, and that's with an extra 300 lbs. (136 kg) of hardware onboard, pushing curb weight to 4,365 lbs. (1,980 kg). By comparison, the RX 330 with AWD needs 7.8 seconds to make the same sprint.
Both have a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. (1,588 kg).
Official Environmental Protection Agency fuel efficiency ratings for the 400h are 27 mpg (8.7 L/100 km) on the highway, which is 67% better than the RX 330, 31 mpg (7.6 L/100 km) in the city and 29 mpg (8.1 L/100 km) combined. The Highlander is expected to achieve the same results.
The electronically controlled continuously variable transmission is seamless in managing torque on winding roads and some mountainous climbs on the island of Hawaii that might have made the RX 330 gasp. Merging and passing are executed with ease.
The Highlander was equally adept in a test drive along the California coastline. It averaged 26.2 mpg (9.0 L/100 km) on a test drive up hills and in slow traffic that afforded enough battery-charging regenerative braking to light the resort upon return.
Electrically assisted steering (the motor is wrapped around the steering rack) on the Lexus is precise, and the electric air conditioning compressor is more than capable in offsetting a hot Hawaiian sun.
Conversely, Toyota officials caution the first driver on a cold morning may find the electric start requires a second try because a delay was built in to let the engine warm up. This strategy limits emissions when the gasoline engine kicks in.
Only a trained eye immediately will differentiate the HEVs from their conventional cousins. They are slightly longer and taller. The front fascias and bumpers are new, largely to incorporate an extra vent for cooling. Each sports a new grille, and the taillamps switch to more efficient light-emitting diodes.
The Lexus rides on new 18-in. aluminum wheels with performance tires. The Highlander sports 17-in. aluminum alloy wheels.
The Lexus interior cashes in many of the wood accents for brushed aluminum.
In both vehicles, a power meter replaces the tachometer on the instrument panel. The navigation screen doubles as a power-usage display, much like the Toyota Prius.
A Lexus cabin is the benchmark for a quiet ride. An HEV presents a unique challenge in that the whir of electric motors replaces muted background engine noise at idle or slow speeds.
To ensure acceptable noise, vibration and harshness levels, more acoustic material was added to the windshield; gussets and reinforcements improved rigidity; and engineers came up with a quieter radiator cooling fan blade design because they felt the forced air was too loud.
It did the job. In this church-like quiet, the electric motors can be heard upon acceleration, and again during regenerative braking. Even at highway speeds, the 400h was almost disconcertingly quiet, and the Highlander only a few decibels louder.
Safety features include electronically controlled braking, and a rollover sensor keeps in constant conversation with the airbag sensors.
The CUVs stem from the same platform and were "hybridized" together. The Lexus HEV began production in March and goes on sale April 15. In Japan, it is known as the Harrier Hybrid.
The Highlander has been added to the line at the plant in Kyushu, Japan, and goes on sale the first week of June. It will be sold as the Kluger V Hybrid in Japan.
Of the 62,000-unit total capacity, Lexus gets 24,000 for the U.S., alone, which may not be enough with more than 13,000 orders in the bank.
Toyota says it has 150,000 hand-raisers for the Highlander HEV before it even has begun taking orders. Toyota will allocate about 21,000 units for the U.S. market this year and about 48,000 for a full year.
Of the roughly 127,000 Highlander sales expected in 2005, about 20,450 should be hybrids. Toyota expects 6% of front-wheel-drive models will be equipped with the hybrid system and 15% of the 4WD models.
North America will be the biggest market for both. Lexus expects the 400h to take 25% of total RX sales. And the expectation is a high percentage will be new to the Lexus brand.
The combination of utility and fuel efficiency is expected to appeal to those who might not otherwise have considered a hybrid. They will have to fight those already on the waiting list, including those who can't wait to trade up from the Prius.
Toyota has prepared its case well, and the prosecution rests.
Ultimate success now rests with the jury.

You are both right. The A4 is itself based somewhat loosely on the A8 (at least the front suspension is). Then, the new A6 and Passat are both built on the same platform as the A4, stretched to different degrees. As to "which is based on what" I think it's a pretty moot point. There are lots of common pieces between the A4, new A6 and Passat. -Ti 96 A4 2.8 quattro 84 5000S 2.1 turbo 80 4000 2.0 -- /// Ti Kan Vorsprung durch Technik /// AMB Research Laboratories, Sunnyvale, CA.

This two-tone blonde mane is swept back through the sides maintaining a clean finish to the edges, while the longer length through the top is teased to achieve height and lift. The shape of this hairstyle is best suited to complement a triangular face and needs regular trims to maintain its style.
Scarlett Johansson looks chic here in this short 'do that has been styled up for an evening out. Scarlett has a triangular face shape and low forehead, so this high-volume 'do that is swept back off the face is ideal for her. This hairstyle gives her a more open look while adding height to balance out her wide forehead. Ladies with this face shape suit short haircuts especially well as it shows off the neck and dainty chin area, plus styles like this one with longer layers on top give the hair added volume and body where it is needed most.
Scarlett's color is another fabulous feature of this hairstyle. Her complexion is cool with pink undertones and she has dark blue eyes. Color-wise, this makes her suited to beige and ash blonde shades the best, but she can also pull off light golden tones too. Here she opts for her natural dark ash blonde at the roots with light champagne blonde tips that makes her skin glow and makes her blue eyes pop. Overall this is a natural-looking blonde shade for Scarlett to wear for a more down to earth feel.
Scarlett Johansson is an American actress, model and singer. She made her film debut in the fantasy comedy North and went on to star in Lost in Translation, The Avengers, and many other hits.

Our mission is to help fill some of the gaps with the things these kids need most – backpacks and school supplies, warm new coats for winter and gifts to help make the holidays special. We work with local schools, shelters and churches to identify and serve children in need. And we work with generous members of our communities – like you – to fulfill the needs of these children.
Battalion Chief Willie Bailey, founder of Firefighters and Friends to the Rescue, understands the challenges disadvantaged families face today. A veteran firefighter, Bailey was driven to help after responding to 9-1-1 emergencies during the holidays. Alarmed by the number of homes without holiday decorations, trees or presents, he organized a toy drive to help 50 struggling families.
It was supposed to be a one-time event, but that was 17 years ago! Today, our mission has expanded to provide over 9,000 kids with free haircuts, backpacks filled with school supplies, warm winter coats, new sneakers and holiday gifts. "I never expected it would grow like this," says Bailey, "But businesses and people in the community have really stepped up to help fill what is a growing need in this area."

In a report by Polygon, EA chief financial officer Blake J. Jorgensen estimated that the launch would be done in the summertime next year. He said that the game will most likely come out around the time 'Star Wars Episode VII' will hit theaters that year. According to a report by Entertainment Weekly, 'Episode VII' will debut in theaters very much later, which is on December 18th.
EA is yet to give an official announcement as to the exact release date of 'Battlefront'. But should they stick to their previous statement that the game will come out concurrently with the new film, it is safe to assume that 'Battlefront' will probably hit the shelves by the last quarter of 2015.
EA first announced the new game and showed a teaser video available on YouTube at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013 (E3 2013). The game is built using DICE's Frostbite 3 engine, the same game engine used in the first-person shooter 'Battlefield 4'.
Despite the time needed to wait by gamers for the release, Starwars-Holonet.com reported that "Star Wars: Battlefront 3" developer and soundtrack musician Viktor Lundberg published a Twitter post in late August that the company would be "playtesting" the alpha and beta versions real soon. It read,
Looking forward to more Battlefront playtesting today and then get my face melted by @Fearedse probably excellent clinic :)
Excited to play the beta when it comes out?

The European College of Equine Internal Medicine (ECEIM) was established in 2000 and became a fully recognised member of the European Board of Veterinary Specialisation (EBVS) in 2010. The EBVS was set up to encourage, recognise and monitor veterinary specialty colleges such as the ECEIM which in turn has its own primary objectives which are to:
• Advance equine internal medicine in Europe
• Increase the competency of those who practice in this field
What we do to achieve these objectives:
It is important to inform the public that a recognised European College exists that examines and authenticates veterinarians as specialists in equine internal medicine. One of the ways we try to achieve this is by having an accessible and up to date web site where both the public as well as ECEIM Diplomates and Diplomate candidates (residents) can access the latest information on College activities. It also provides a list of fully certified ECEIM Diplomates and in which country they are located (link).
Supporting and promoting research are other important aspects of advancing equine internal medicine. The College arranges an annual international meeting where the latest research focusing on equine internal medicine is presented and new developments in this field shared with colleagues. These meetings are also important in establishing new, collaborative research projects which will further advance and strengthen this international network of equine internal medicine specialists. Furthermore, the meetings act as important discussion forums for difficult or unusual clinical cases as well as emerging equine diseases. These discussions are further encouraged and facilitated through an internet forum open to ECEIM Diplomates and residents through the website.
Strengthening the College through training and examination of new Diplomates is one of the most important parts of promoting equine internal medicine in Europe as well as to increase the competency of those who practice in this field. The ECEIM works actively to help establish approved training programmes throughout Europe where residents undergo a structured training programme under the supervision and guidance of fully certified ECEIM Diplomates. It is the aim of the College to have fully certified ECEIM Diplomates throughout Europe who will help disseminate its primary objectives which will fundamentally help to provide expert care to the horse and other members of the Equidae family.
What does an ECEIM Diplomate do?
As a pre-requisite to obtaining and maintaining ECEIM Diplomate status, involvement in a speciality of equine internal medicine at a rate of more than 50% of the working time is required. This means that the majority of Diplomates are actively involved in clinical equine practice either at a University or in a private equine clinic. During this time, clinical examination, diagnostic procedures as well as treatment of patients are carried out to the highest standard.
(Click on an image to enlarge it)
If the Diplomate works at an ECEIM approved training centre, supervising residents are likely to be an important part of the work. Similarly, initiating and participating in research projects and clinical studies are Diplomate requirements.
ECEIM Diplomates are also expected to participate and support the College while keeping up to date with the latest research and clinical developments. In order to maintain Diplomate status, every five years each Diplomate must be re-accredited proving that one is still eligible to be a member of the ECEIM by maintaining the highest clinical standard. In order to do so, the Diplomate must have attended courses and conferences as well as published articles in approved veterinary journals.
By fulfilling these obligations, each Diplomate contributes to strengthening and supporting the College and its objectives.

Issues With PSN Continues to Irritate PS3 Users.
If things couldn't get any worse for Sony, PlayStation 3 users are reporting connectivity issues with PlayStation Network on the Sony forums today. Earlier this week, Anonymous, a group of hackers, have declared war with Sony for interrupting the free flow of information, suing Jailbreakin' legend Geo Hot and attempting to view the IP addresses of those who watched his videos. They have angered the online community of hackers and also Playstation 3 users who are at the receiving end of these attacks.
According to a post by a community team moderator at the sony forums, they're currently looking into the problem and will update with more information when it becomes available. You can follow the guy on twitter @RabidWalker as he will be tweeting with info on there as well.
Another group reported by Playstation Lifestyle, Sony Recon, have been going after the big heads at Sony, looking to reveal a bunch of personal information that includes names, phone numbers, IP addresses and World of Warcraft Accounts (j/k). It seems that the group has already started attacking people, taking down the website of the company who's handling Sony's case and compiling information of the lawyers who are involved.
If I was running the company, I would have to pull back and rethink the situation. Suing someone for buying your product with their hard earned money and studying it to see what it's capable of, shouldn't be an available option. Sure…you have will hackers manipulating things making you feel like you're losing money but this is a great opportunity for companies to come in and hire them to create security. I don't know what I'm talking about but that's something I'd try to do instead of suing potential attackers.

Good time for Sony to discontinue the life of the PS3. I can now expect the PS4 to be in production.
I'm sure right now Microsoft is glad they didn't build any sort of net browser on their machines.
In all seriously, I don't care for Sony nor do I care for GeoHot. Maybe if he wasn't such a d-bag I'd respect him a little more.
April 7, 2011 at 10:01 AM
As much as I want to see the new line up of next-gen consoles…I still expect the ps3 to outlast the 360 for a while. Microsoft's products are built knowing that they will get their shit hacked, that's why they have a really strict policy on xbox live arcade and the ability to find out what system is hacked and ban their ip, prevents things like this from happening.
I don't for neither either….as long as I'm not the one at the receiving end of these attacks.

We rented a lovely cottage with a garden. Both children where thrilled to discover that it had plenty of toys - Rosie dived into the dressing up box and Christopher had lots of fun in a 'Little Tykes' car that was in the garden. I was smitten as soon as I saw the window seat in our bedroom. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of stitching done there mainly reading stories to small folk but it was a lovely nook.
It was a bit early for most of the plants in the Ornamental gardens, the tulips where just starting to come out but several of the Flowering Cherries were starting to put on a good show.
When we got back to Craster, one of the fishing boats was being launched from the beach. It was being dragged down the beach by a metal cable that ran from a wheel house across the road from the harbour through some pulley's attached to the rocks and then fastened to the boats stern. Meanwhile the fishermen where putting logs under the boat for rollers. It was fascinating to watch.
