In the very early days of the 20th Century a meeting took place
in England between two Anglican ministers that ultimately resulted
in one of the largest colonization enterprises in the Canadian West
- an enterprise fraught with mismanagement, dissension and disillusionment.
One of the ministers, the Rev. G. E. Lloyd had spent some years
on the Canadian prairies and, indeed, had fought in the militia
during the Riel Rebellion. The other minister, the Rev. I. M. Barr,
claimed he had farmed in the west for 15 years and knew it well.
Barr confided in Lloyd that he was planning a large-scale colonization
project and invited the latter along as chaplain since he, Barr,
was intending to return to farming. Pamphlets were distributed throughout
England and Scotland that made optimistic claims for the project
that were far from accurate. Yet, in spite of cautions from papers
such as the Saskatchewan Herald, applications poured in, applications
often accompanied by cash for homestead fees and travel expenses.
Such monies totalled significant amounts yet were handled by Barr
in a manner that at best could be called casual.
Eventually 2,684 colonists boarded a former troop-carrier that
was intended to carry no more than 900 passengers. Food supplies
were totally inadequate and only intervention by Lloyd calmed the
anger of the hungry colonists.
In Saint John, New Brunswick, Barr disappeared from sight as Lloyd
learned that no transportation arrangements had been made to move
the colonists westward. Lloyd again intervened and managed to arrange
rail transportation to Saskatoon where in April, 1903, about 1,500
colonists arrived, the rest having left the train in Manitoba. At
this point Barr appeared - but not most of the colonists luggage,
which never was recovered.
With carts carrying what possessions they had, the colonists walked
virtually the whole way, often through mud and mire, to their new
home. Coming from the industrial cities of England they lacked the
skills to handle ox teams or to hunt and suffered accordingly. Arriving
at a bleak and desolate site the colonists turned to the man who
had worked so hard to make good the shortcomings of his fellow cleric.
Lloyd became their leader and the settlement that grew so painfully,
remembers him in its name - Lloydminster.
The AFHS wishes to thank member Noreen Chambers who transcribed
the listing of the Barr Colonists, from the Lloydminster newspaper
which originally published the listing, and to Peter Morgan who
provided this introduction to the Barr Colonists for this site.
A news story regarding the Colonists from the Daily
Phoenix of April 10, 1903 has been put online by the University
of Saskatchewan. A good print resource for more background is: Muddling
Through: The Remarkable Story of the Barr Colonists by Lynne
Bowen and published by Douglas & McIntyre in 1992.

Where Kids Don't Know Kobe Bryant, Yet
By Shanoor Seervai
"If you throw a ball up in the poorest village of India, every child will gravitate to it. All kids—Hindu or Muslim, boy or girl— love to play," says Matthew Spacie, the founder of Magic Bus.
Earlier in April, Magic Bus announced a partnership with the National Basketball Association and its broadcast partner in India, Multi Screen Media, to introduce basketball to poor communities in India.
"The goal of the NBA Cares program is to give back to the community, not to build the next Michael Jordan," Yannick Colaco, managing director of NBA India, said in a recent interview.
Magic Bus runs weekly sports sessions for around 270,000 children in four thousand communities in India. It trains young men and women aged 18 to 25 to deliver sessions in their communities, empowering them to become community leaders.
Magic Bus's curriculum uses sport as a metaphor to change behaviors related to healthcare or education in children. For example, a ball can represent a serious waterborne disease or an HIV virus; so dodging or catching takes on a new meaning, said Mr. Spacie.
The NGO also places a strong emphasis on girls' rights. Mr. Spacie said 98% of all girls enrolled in Magic Bus programs attend school, much higher than the national average.
The sports sessions -- whether cricket, football or kabaddi – aim to include an equal number of boys and girls. The partnership with the NBA introduces a new sport to children that, unlike cricket, doesn't have a gender legacy in India, said Mr. Spacie.
"Playing traditional cricket in a slum is a nightmare… but when I take basketball to a slum, the kids don't know if it's a boys' sport or a girls' sport… none of them have ever heard of Kobe Bryant, or seen a basketball game on TV," he says. "For them, it's a bizarre game where you bounce a ball up and down and throw it somewhere."
At the NBA launch in Mumbai, 50 boys and girls aged seven to 14 who are part of a Magic Bus program played basketball for the first time. "Social responsibility is an important part of our mission," said NBA Commissioner David Stern at the launch on April 8.
Two NBA coaches, Troy Justice and Eban Hyams, worked with Magic Bus youth leaders to weave a lesson about health precautions for the summer into simple basketball drills. They drew a metaphor between dehydration from not drinking enough water in the heat and the challenges of playing basketball, said Mr. Colaco.
Starting in June, 100 children in Mumbai will be the first group to participate in weekly sessions based on the basketball-specific curriculum that NBA coaches and Magic Bus are developing.
"The curriculum use values that are inherent to basketball, of teamwork, dedication, discipline and sportsmanship, to promote fitness and teach children about education, gender equality and health," said Mr. Colaco.
The NBA and Magic Bus will also use the curriculum to run one-time basketball sessions with 12 groups of children already enrolled in Magic Bus programs in different states across India.
In 2011, the NBA opened its first office in India in Mumbai. In recent years, basketball stars past and present such as Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, Dominique Wilkins, George Gervin and Sam Perkins have traveled to India to promote the sport.
India's basketball association estimates that less than six million people in India play the sport. "In cities, we can look for schools and clubs with basketball courts. In the villages, we'll have to improvise," Mr. Spacie said.
At least basketball is infrastructure-light. "All you need is a hoop, a flat surface and a ball," said Mr. Colaco.
"The kids will have a blast… the lessons one can learn through a team sport can't be taught in any classroom," he added.

End of Month View - May 2012
My intentions are always good when it comes to joining other garden bloggers with longer garden shots and notes at the end of the month. I like this idea which was started by Helen at The Patient Gardener's Weblog .
Mixing the Geum with dark Heucheras, becoming an orange fan :-)
One way or another, be it bad weather and no photos or lots of photos and times issues, disappointingly I keep missing this one out. I've been on a major garden catch-up during this past hot spell. Last year, parts of my garden saw little attention and I am rectifying this now.
Have been moving other smaller disturbed Alliums around – fingers crossed there :-)
This past two weeks, plants have been travelling around my garden as I tweak one area of planting and it goes on to affect other areas. I find these mix-ups are what gardening is all about for me. I love the creative play with plants.
Need to be quicker in catching the seed pods before they burst though.
Weed level is where I've been at. My trusty, rusty wheelbarrow that travelled from my very first garden has travelled all around my garden paths and through borders ferrying plants to new locations and weeds to the green waste bins – I filled two!
Yesterday morning, I went out to grab a few photos (seen on this post) with the intention of getting more border shots later. That didn't happen and today we had a day of much needed rain – Yay!
So, my only end of the month view is of my new wildlife pond area which (all going well) should be completed by the end of next month. Perhaps this view is quite apt for this month as it will see the biggest change. I'm getting quite excited about this now.
and that division of a large golden grass looks like it has been successful.
Great news on the Wisteria flowers – lots about to open :-)
Other borders have seen significant change too and once all the plant moving is over I'll grab some more long shots to compare them at the end of the June too. After chatting about my garden's bird and wildlife visitors for the last 5½ years it has been great to reconnect to the gardener within again.
As per usual, my midnight(ish) posting is leaving it a bit late to head over to Helen's post to read it now (browsed pics earlier) and see posts of others that have joined in/left comments there. I'll enjoy browsing over breakfast tomorrow. Gosh, is really Friday tomorrow? Gosh, we're into June too!
This weekend it's the main Garden Show here up in Scotland. Gardening Scotland runs from Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd of June. We'll probably take a trip along at some point. I'm not too fussed to see the Show Gardens but I do like to see different planting combinations there and in the Floral Hall. The plant sales tables from nurseries in other parts of the UK I don't get to visit is a bonus too.
Whatever you're up to this weekend – enjoy. Rain or shine I'll be out moving plants and come night fall I'll be keeping an eye on the cam in Hedgehog Manor which has also seen a change of location recently. Tonight it has been both busy and boisterous with two hogs in at the same time and one bulldozing the other into a corner. Four hedgehog sightings were seen tonight.
Happy gardening and gardenwatching :-) Oops... I nearly forgot... for those joining events in celebration of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee... have a great time :-)
This post was written by Shirley for shirls gardenwatch in May 2012.

Hava, the lesser-known video streaming system, is going to be doing some crazy social TV sharing called Sociable TV.
Zatz Not Funny says that their upcoming service will be able to share live or DVR content with either a group of people or the entire world, just via their web portal. This brings us one step closer to my dream of being able to watch East Coast TV at the same time as my friends on the East Coast, with me on the West Coast.
Sociable TV is supposed to hit mid-year, and they've got an iPhone client in the works as well. [Zatz Not Funny]

U.S. Labor and Education Departments Encourage Applications for Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant Program
U.S. Labor and Education Departments Encourage Applications for Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant Program
Secretaries Duncan and Solis to announce solicitations, discuss grant program in a conference call TODAY at 2 p.m.
Mike Trupo, Labor, (202) 693-3414, firstname.lastname@example.com
The U.S. Department of Labor today announced a solicitation for grant applications under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant Program. The Labor Department will award approximately $500 million this year through the program and a total of $2 billion over the next four years. Grants will support the development and improvement of postsecondary programs of two years or less that use evidence-based or innovative strategies to prepare students for successful careers in growing and emerging industries. The program will be administered by the Labor Department in coordination with the U.S. Department of Education.
By helping to increase the number of workers who attain degrees, certificates and other industry-recognized credentials, the program underscores President Obama's commitment to help every American have at least one year of postsecondary education. The program also furthers the president's efforts to ensure that by 2020 the United States once again has the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.
"Everyone, especially the trade-impacted workers who are the focus of this program, deserves access to the level of education necessary to obtain employment that can support a family," said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. "These grants will help colleges create programs that make it possible for workers to come back to school and acquire skills and industry-recognized credentials needed to compete for good jobs in growing industries."
The grant program is authorized through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009's amendments to the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act. The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, signed by the president on March 30, 2010, provides the funding beginning in fiscal year 2011.
Applicants must be community colleges or other two-year degree granting institutions of higher education as defined in the Higher Education Act of 1965. The grants will enable eligible institutions to expand their capacity to create new education or training programsor improve existing onesto meet the needs of local or regional businesses. By statute, every state, as well as the District of Columbia and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, will receive at least $2.5 million each year in grant awards.
The grant program will expand opportunities for workers by: accelerating progress and reducing time to completion; improving retention and achievement rates; building instructional programs that meet industry needs; and strengthening online and technology-enabled learning.
The grants will provide postsecondary institutions with an opportunity to develop and make innovative use of a variety of evidence-based learning materials, including cutting-edge shared courses and open educational resources. These resources would be available online for free, greatly expanding learning opportunities for students and workers. In addition, these learning tools will help schools and students tailor education so each worker can have a better opportunity for success in the classroom and job market.
"These grants will help educators and industry work together to ensure that more students are graduating with the skills that employers need," said Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. "This program is not about tinkeringit's about transformation. This is not about getting more students to enrollit's about getting more students to graduation day and into good jobs."
The program is designed to have a lasting impact on higher education, emphasizing collection of student outcome data and evaluation to build knowledge about which strategies best help students gain skills and credentials that are valuable in the workforce. The administration sees community colleges as an ideal place to apply this new approach because they have been leaders in seeking out strategies that get results.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to view the online tutorial "Grant Applications 101: A Plain English Guide to ETA Competitive Grants" available through Workforce3One at http://www.workforce3one.org/page/grants_toolkit. The solicitation will be available today on http://www.grants.gov. Or visit http://www.doleta.gov/grants and click on "Find Grants."
Note To Editors: Secretaries Duncan and Solis will hold a conference call about the TAACCCT grant program TODAY at 2 p.m. EST. Members of the press should call 888-843-9979 and give passcode 25676 when requested.

In Watchers 2, Signs in the Heavens & Earth, we ask the question, are all the floods, tsunami's, earthquakes, wars and rumors of wars, tornado's, droughts, famines, pestilence, volcanic activity, fish and animal die offs, business as usual or is it something more?
In my opinion we are looking at the "softening of the objective," which is military parlance, meaning that before troops are sent in, aircraft, and artillery, softens the intended target area. Are we looking at the same type of strategy being deployed by The Fallen One? Let me put forth a theory here. We know from 2nd Thessalonians that: He restrains until He is taken out-of-the-way. The question is, who is the "He?" There are some that believe it is the Holy Spirit, while others posit that Michael, the arch-angel is the restrainer. We are told in Revelation that Michael fights the devil, and the devils angels and then Satan, the dragon, the Fallen One, is cast to earth. I don't believe that this has happened yet, but I do think that the protection that we have been under has been withdrawn.
In the fall of 2009 I BLOGGED that I had felt something shift. What I meant by this was that something had shifted in the realm of the spirit. I cautiously wrote about it and shortly afterward we saw the rise of earthquakes, floods, tsunami's etc, that are now becoming commonplace. Is it possible that there has been an orderly retreat of the angels of heaven? We know from the Book of Job and other texts that the Fallen One, can and will manipulate the weather to destroy. We see this as he sends a great wind to destroy the house of Job's sons and daughters. Is it possible that Michael has pulled back and now we are seeing the "handiwork " of the Fallen One? I believe we are in the birth-pangs not the tribulation, thus we are seeing an increase in the frequency of these disasters… there is something every week folks.
In closing today's post: Is it possible that supernatural forces are now manifesting in ways that we have never seen before? Are these same forces responsible for the uprising that we see in the Middle East? Is the so-called "Arab Spring" being triggered by events happening in another dimension, the second heaven, the realm of the Fallen One? All of this is creating uncertainty, instability, and a sense of dread and fear. Is what we are seeing deliberate, so that when we reach a tipping point, lets say after a nuclear exchange in the MIddle East, our space brothers will come and "save us?" I believe that what we are seeing, these tragic disasters that happen weekly may, in fact have supernatural origins….

And what about the UFO seen over the Temple Mount? Something has changed, and Watchers 2 will try and investigate if what ancient texts have said for millenniums are true — that we are entering a period where there will be wars, earthquakes, and famines — including signs in the skies and the heavens.

Artist and Naturist. Last of 11 siblings born in Laval Quebec, now living in Nova Scotia with my husband John.
I am a self-taught artist and have always loved to draw. I created his first comic book super-hero when he was six and over the span of 20 years created 90 books. My biggest fans were the many nieces and nephews of my large family. I had my first published cartoon strip "The Spice of Life" in two local Montreal papers from 1993 to 1995. Created a spinoff in 2018 called The Secret Life of a Naturist.
I moved to Nova Scotia in 1997 and started to paint watercolours after falling in love with the province and its people. John then introduced to acrylics in 2006 and had a few paintings in auctions for local charities. I am a tongue cancer survivor that I was operated for in November of 2016. I enjoy living life to the fullest and being nude as much as possible. I enjoy swimming, reading, yoga and meditation.

1. North Carolina – The Tar Heels lose a lot of key players from their 2011 National Championship team but a solid core returns led by forward Rob Lovejoy, midfielder Mikey Lopez, defenders Jordan McCrary and Boyd Okwuonu and senior goalkeeper Scott Goodwin supplemented by one of the top recruiting classes in the country. When you are the defending National Champions and you have been to four consecutive Final Fours you deserve to be ranked number one until someone proves otherwise. The early schedule is challenging but conducive to giving the Tar Heels the chance to gel as a team.
2. New Mexico - Nine starters return from the 2011 team that was 18-0-4 and was ranked number one for a significant portion of the season. Senior forward Devon Sandoval (8g, 8a), senior midfielder Blake Smith (10g, 5a), junior center back Kyle Venter, and goalkeeper Victor Rodriguez are among what looks to be one of the deepest, most experienced, and talented teams in the country in 2012. Hungry plus talented equals wins. New Mexico opens the 2012 season with matches on the road with UCLA, Tulsa and SMU. If the chemistry and focus are there then the sky is the limit for the Lobos.
3. Charlotte – No team played with more heart or worked harder than Charlotte did in the NCAA Tourney last year. Whether the 49ers can maintain that level of intensity under new head coach Kevin Langan remains to be seen. However, with eight starters back including the likes of sophomore forward Giuseppe Gentile (10g, 2a), senior forward Donnie Smith (5g, 3a), junior midfielder Tyler Gibson (3g, 6a), senior defender Aaron Weldon and junior goalkeeper Klay Davis the 49ers will be a very dangerous opponent. The 49ers experienced the thrill of victory last year and should be hungry for more.
4. Connecticut –The Huskies had 19 wins last year but squandered what looked to be a sure trip to the Final Four when they let a 1-0 led over Charlotte slip away from them with 8 minutes remaining in regulation at home. With that memory in mind, eight starters return including forwards Stephane Diop (5g, 7a) and Mamadou Doudou Diouf (13g, 2a), midfielder Carlos Alvarez (6g, 8a) and super sophomore netminder Andre Blake. The 2012 squad has the talent and chemistry of a Final Four team. Ray Reid has the required drive and toughness but the question is whether the Husky players have it. Their record in big games begs skepticism.
5. Maryland - The Terps sprinted out to a 11-0-1 record last year then unexpectedly limped down the home stretch with a 3-4-2 record in their last nine games. With eight starters back and no early departures to deal with Maryland is well positioned to put together a complete season in 2012. The Terps are a Final Four caliber team but they do clearly have some work to do for that to be a reality. Senior All-American midfielder John Stertzer (14g, 4a), junior forwards Patrick Mullins (6g, 3a) and Sunny Jane (1g, 8a) and senior backs Taylor Kemp and London Woodbury are among key returning players.

The Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a spectacular rotation of material in a solar prominence, which created a massive tornado-like feature on the Sun, five times bigger than the Earth. "This is perhaps the first time that such a huge solar tornado is filmed by an imager," said Dr. Xing Li of Aberystwyth University, presenting his team's work at the National Astronomy Meeting this week in the UK. "The superb spatial and temporal resolution of SDO allows us to observe the solar atmosphere in great detail."
The solar tornado was discovered using the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) telescope on board SDO. On September 25, 2011, the AIA saw superheated gases as hot as 50,000 – 2,000,000 Kelvin sucked from the origin of a solar prominence, and spiral up into the high atmosphere. It traveled about 200,000 kilometers along the Sun for a period of at least three hours.
The hot gases in the tornadoes have speeds as high as 300,000 km per hour, as opposed to terrestrial tornadoes, which can reach 150km per hour. Li and his team said that these tornadoes often occur at the root of huge coronal mass ejections. The solar tornadoes drag winding magnetic field and electric currents into the high atmosphere. It is possible that the magnetic field and currents play a key role in driving the coronal mass ejections.
A smaller solar tornado was captured in February of 2012. The team's work has been submitted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal. See more of the images and animations here.

Student or Learner
Teacher, I am trying to improve my reported speech. Can you please check the paragraph for errors.
I telephoned Mr. Xing's office yesterday and spoke with Angela, his secretary. I referred her to our earlier telephone conversation a couple of days ago wherein I had told her that there was a typo in their Sales Manager's report regarding the date. I told Angela that we had taken another look at the report and we realized that the given date was correct. I apologized to Angela for the confusion.

BRODY: "Slow ahead. I can go slow ahead. Come on down here and chum some of this shit."
HOOPER: "That's a twenty-footer."
QUINT: "Twenty-five. Three tons of him."
What can one say about the movie Jaws that isn't already common knowledge? Like, we know Jaws stands as one of the most epic/awesome/untouchable movies ever made. Glad we agree!
I write this Jaws-worship piece for Shock Totem on June 19th—just one day before the film's 41st Anniversary. Just thinking of this movie brings back countless memories of the film (and the Peter Benchley novel, too) that I've had since I was 5 years old.
Jaws was actually the first "adult" novel that I ever read. My mom and some other family members all had Jaws in paperback and I was immediately hooked (no pun intended) by the cover art. I recall a sense of fascination and dread as I stared at the brilliant artwork created by legendary Hollywood movie-poster artist, Roger Kastel.
(Kastel's original art was painted in just days. Moreover, the original 20×30-inch painting went missing around the time of the film's release, and as of today is still missing and reported as "stolen.")
Jaws, the film, directed by Steven Spielberg, was released on June 20, 1975, a little more than a year after novel. The movie profoundly changed my life. The music alone scared the shit out of me—just like John Carpenter's Halloween score would do to me a few years later.
Jaws opened across North America on 464 screens. Shortly after, the film's distribution expanded to nearly 700 theaters, and then by August 15, 1975, it was in more than 950 theaters nationwide. Distribution overseas followed suit, with massive television marketing and wide releases.
The filming was riddled with major problems and was deemed a failure as soon as production started. "Bruce," the mechanical shark, was the #1 culprit. The laundry-list of calamities that transpired set a tone of doom over the cast and crew—with Spielberg convinced his career as a director was over—but when the dust settled, unreal, monumental success came out of what was predicted as catastrophe. The superb cast; the genius, award-winning editing of Verna Fields; the Oscar-earning film score, by John Williams; and the directorial suspense that Spielberg delivered all made for the most legendary horror movie the world has ever seen, in company with, and with complete respect to, The Exorcist, Halloween, The Thing, and Psycho, among others.
Moreover, Jaws's success surpassed the horror genre, skyrocketing to the top of countless "Best Films of All Time" lists to where it sat atop the cinema mountain with The Godfather and Citizen Kane.
Jaws became the highest-grossing film of all time until Star Wars hit theaters in 1977.
All the deserved accolades, music, and blockbuster facts aside, let's get to what makes the movie really awesome: the fucking TERROR of an unseen monster in the deep. Jaws instills a primal fear in us. Entertainment is a given, but this movie did to oceans what Hitchcock's Psycho did for showers—getting wet at home or in the ocean caused great anxiety and fear. I know this feeling firsthand, as I was scared to even swim in the country lake near my grandparent's farm in central Wisconsin after seeing Jaws!
This feeling of unease and horror can be directly credited to:
VICTIM #1: Christine "Chrissie" Watkins, whose nighttime swim made for one of the most unforgettable and terrifying pieces of cinema.
VICTIM #2: Pippet, the black Lab, who goes out to fetch and never comes back.
VICTIM #3: Alex Kintner, who is attacked in broad daylight (post Pippet the appetizer), with a fountain of blood and bubbling, underwater screams accompanying his destruction.
VICTIM #4: Survivors. Mr. Denherder and his friend Charlie cast out a holiday roast for Bruce and get more than they bargained for when the shark takes the bait and the entire pier with it, sending Charlie into the nighttime ocean. He makes it to shore in one piece—that is, until his wife gets a hold of him.
VICTIM #5: Ben Gardner. When his dead, one-eyed head pops out of the gaping hole in his boat, I peed a little!
VICTIM #6: The rowboat guy. Bruce hits the rowboat guy and also causes Michael Brody and his pals to tumble off their sailboat and into the water. The shark bites off rowboat guy's leg and pulls him under.
(Right before the attack on rowboat guy, a gal on shore sees Bruce's immense dorsal fin and tail as it swims into the estuary/pond. She croaks out, "Sh..shark! It's going in the pond!" And I gotta tell ya, just that scene alone still fills me with immense dread. Well done.)
VICTIM #7: Quint becomes dinner. Quint—my favorite character played by the amazing Robert Shaw, and based on real-life monster shark-hunter, Frank Mundus—spent most of his days catching sharks and boiling their jaws. Unfortunately, all those dead sharks get their comeuppance as Bruce destroys Quint's boat and eats the hard-edged captain.
All these death scenes created what some call the "Jaws effect." This phenomenon had unfortunate consequences as great white sharks—and many other species—were slaughtered for pure sport and with extreme prejudice. This troubled both Steven Spielberg and Peter Benchley years later. Thankfully, great whites are now protected in many parts of the world, and conservation is paramount to most countries—except Japan who still insist on eating shark fins and contribute to the 273 million sharks killed annually.
I won't get on my soap-box and preach about shark conservation, but it is extremely important to me and, fictional horror-sharks aside, I'm a self-proclaimed "great white shark expert" and have huge understanding of their biology and ecology and harbor a deep love for these animals. "Harbor" and "deep," there I go again with the unintentional puns.
After 41 years, this film still holds up and is one amazing movie. Even though I own this flick, if this movie is just on normal TV and I stumble upon it, I just drop everything and say," Fuck my day…Jaws is on." It's one of the best movies ever made. I'm always floored when someone young or old tells me that they haven't seen it. I passionately inform said virgins that they're missing out on seeing pure cinematic greatness and that they need to get off their asses and GO WATCH IT NOW!
I'm not only a huge Jaws fan, but I'm also an insane memorabilia collector. I own the movie in every film format ever made, I own numerous photos and original posters signed by cast and crew alike, I own countless film-related toys, and the crown jewels in my collection include one of the five yellow barrels used in the film, a harpoon used on the Orca in the actual movie, and one of the original film PRODUCTION/CREW t-shirts.
I've also been fortunate enough to meet Susan Backlinie (Chrissie), Carl Gottlieb (Meadows, and the author of The Jaws Log), and Joe Alves (production designer/epic story boarder), all of whom are not only gracious and friendly, but will also happily talk about their Jaws experiences and give you personal insight. For a Jaws nerd like me, that's pure gold.
It's summertime. The beaches are open. Go swimming and watch Jaws…and then go back in the water again. And for those who haven't seen it, I'll say it again: GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND GO WATCH IT NOW!
You'll thank me later.

A Fast, Sleek Offshore Thoroughbred With Yacht Comfort
J/145 is the answer for sailors seeking great performance, but not at the cost of unprotected cockpits, sparse interiors or complex overpowering rigs. J/145 is the answer, too, for those who seek grace and elegance in their cruising comforts...but not at the cost of performance. It's surprising how many owners of heavy displacement cruisers discover their passage-making to be 75% motoring and only 25% sailing. J/145 solves this problem, bringing back the romance of sailing. This design is unique among boats over 45 feet in offering the proper balance: A boat that's a joy to sail fast with as few as two people while at the same time being comfortable to live aboard and to entertain on. As a SAIL Magazine Top Ten award winner, and with victories & honors in some of the World's most famous offshore races & regattas, including Key West Race Week, Fastnet Race, Port Huron-Mac Race, RORC Season Championship and more recently a 3rd place finish in the 2006 Sydney Hobart Race, the J/145 has defined a unique class of dual purpose performance yacht. She is available in both standard race/cruise or a more deluxe cruising configuration with shoal draft keel.A Fast, Easy-to-Handle Boat: Sailing a J/145 is surprisingly easy. Two people can go for an afternoon sail on the J/145 in just minutes. Throw off the boom cover. Hoist the main on a 2:1 halyard. Cast off. Sail under main alone or unroll the jib from its furler. That's it. Even the spinnaker is ready in its sock. Pull out the sprit. Hoist the halyard. Slide up the sock. Trim the sheet. Easy, upwind and downwind. It's unlikely you've sailed a boat this fast with such a low center of gravity or a boat this large that's so responsive and easy to handle. It's like sailing a 40 footer that turns on a dime but with the stability of a 50 footer. One of the joys of owning a great boat is the ability to share it with family and friends. J/145 is just as happy on the two-week family cruise, as it is sprinting around the buoys or daysailing in the bay.
The Cockpit: Much of your time on a sailboat is spent in the cockpit. So, the ergonomics and sail-handling functions of the J/145 cockpit were meticulously planned, taking advantage of what we've learned from many prior J Boat designs. Seat heights off the cockpit sole: the precise distance between cockpit seats to permit bracing one's foot on the face of the leeward seat when heeled sailing to windward; the double-articulated seat backs to support the lower back; the pitch of the seat backs to offer comfort whether for cocktails on the mooring or when heeled sailing to windward; a molded "messenger" bump on the edge of the cockpit seats to warn you where the edge of the seat is when moving about the deck at night; a "step-over" bridge deck under a dodger for maximum safety going below or coming on deck in heavy seas; location of sheet leads and winches so that every conceivable sheeting combination and angle is accounted for; built-in instrument pods on the binnacle and seahood; foot braces for helmsman and winch grinders; remote hydraulic backstay control: and, yes, even an optional helmsman's bimini and seat cushions. Everything you could want for sailing comfort and efficiency.
Elegant Versatile Interior: Key to the J/145's interior design is the concept that it's the main cabin that defines the elegance of the yacht while light-weight, functional ends determine its performance and sail handling capabilities. Upon descending the companionway stairs, one is presented with a vista of fine cabinetry in the galley, nav station and settee area. The varnished cold-molded joiner work is crafted in either teak or cherry to very high standards. The arrangement outboard of the port settee is a pilot berth for sleeping comfort on offshore passages. To starboard is an entertainment center, book and bar cabinet storage. Bolstered, Ultra-Leather upholstery on the settees is available.
A lightweight starboard aft quarter-cabin with double berth is standard with a second, dual-purpose storage/sleeping area aft to port with two pipe berths. Forward is the standard head/shower arrangement, hanging locker & sail storage to starboard and an available lightweight V-berth platform with U shape bulkheads forward.
In addition to this standard performance layout a Deluxe Performance Cruising Package is available in order to create a truly complete yacht for cruising. This option includes a 7.5' all-lead shoal keel, deluxe aft starboard cabin finish and detailing, a second head aft to port, deluxe owner stateroom forward, upgraded power package, an anchor windlass and deck mounted roller.
Durable & Lasting Construction: The design and construction challenge to create such a yacht is formidable. The customary way to gain speed is to save weight by eliminating the interior and simplifying the deck. To retain the best of both worlds, the J/145 project called for the latest in advanced composite technology and materials to optimize strength for weight so that important sailing comfort features could be preserved. J/145's long-lasting, high-tech laminate uses uni-directional carbon fiber & E-glass skins with balsa core infused with the patented SCRIMP system. This process yields a laminate for hull & deck construction that's been tested by the US Naval Surface Warfare Lab at double the strength of hand lay-up construction found in nearly all other production and semi-custom sailboats.
Two phenomena of this new, high-vacuum process explain the difference. First, all air pockets are drawn out of the laminate before a low viscosity resin is infused by vacuum to completely saturate the dry materials. For every 1% of entrapped air, laminate properties, in terms of flexural, impact and elongation strength, are reduced by 10%. As hand lay up results in no less than 5% entrapped air, it has only 50% of the strength of SCRIMP. This new process overcomes many long-term ownership concerns about de-lamination and structural failure because there are no air pockets and secondary bonds in the hull laminate and integral keel beam grid. Secondly, the ratio of glass fiber to resin is 2:1 rather than 1:2, resulting in a high strength-to-weight ratio.

[INSTAX WIDE] Bulb Mode & Multi Exposure Hack (English)
Hello Eveyone,
In advance sorry for my english, i'm french.
In this topic i will try to explain how to add two funny features to your Instax Wide Camera :
- Bulb Mode for long exposures.
- Multi Exposure.
This is not a step by step tutorial, you need some soldering skills, tools, wires etc.
Those hacks have been made using my small electronic knowledges, keep that in mind, and of course i'm not responsible for anything.
Let's begin with the multi exposes hack.
To do that, you only need to have :
- a switch, to turn off the motor.
- a push button, to bypass the internal ejection sensor.
(You can also buy a second switch if you have to create a remote shutter button)
How it works :
-Turn ON the camera
-Switch Off the motor
-Take the first picture
-Within 5s, press a short time the push button (The film counter will decrease)
-Swith ON the motor.
-Take the second picture, it will be ejected.
Done !
And now the Bulb mode Hack :
For this one, you only need a 3 Positions Double Switch (http://www.ebay.com/itm/141329069913/)
(Search for "ON-OFF-ON DPDT Mini Toggle Switches")
I recommend to put it in a remote controller, without any connector, because soldering 4 pins connectors has been diffcult for me.
The shutter mechanism could be compared to a DC Motor. Powered in a way : you open it, powered in the reverse way, you close it.
How it works :
In idle state, the swith is in the middle position. (1 / 0 / 2)
- Switch to position 1 to open the shutter, as long as you need.
- Swtich a short time to position 2 to close the shutter thengo back to middle position.
- Hide the the camera lens with your hand and press the shutter button to eject your picture.
If you need more details, you can try to translate the french topic of each hack (see in my signature).
But don't worry, you can ask me anything you want here.

From this web page you can join the meeting using your browser (Lync Web App), download the thick Lync 2010 Attendee client, or use your OCS 2007 Communicator (with reduced functionality) if it's installed.
Lync Web App is supported on multiple Windows and Mac platforms (see Lync Web App Supported Platforms for details). It also requires the Microsoft Silverlight browser plug-in version 4.0 or better installed. Lync Web App will download various ActiveX components as needed to add functionality, such as screen sharing. Previously, Lync Web App used to be called the reach client.
The Lync 2010 Attendee client is a thick client (it must be downloaded and installed), so it requires rights to install software. The Lync 2010 Attendee is very similar to the Lync 2010 client, but it does not allow you to create buddy lists or create meetings. Both Lync Web App and Lync 2010 Attendee allow you to join as guests or with your corporate credentials.
As mentioned earlier, the Lync 2010 client will automatically launch if it is installed when you click the "Join Online Meeting" URL. However, you may find that you need to use Lync Web App instead. Maybe your want to demo the web join page, above, or you're in an environment where the firewall blocks access using the Lync 2010 client. To do this, simply add ?sl= to the meeting URL. For example:
Viola! The Lync Client will not launch and you can choose to run Lync Web App.

Disability insurance is a type of insurance that protects your earning potential and replaces your income if you become unable to work after an accident or illness. It replaces a percentage of your earned income – as much as 70% of it – until you're either able to return to work or reach age 67, through a check issued on a monthly basis. Even though it only replaces up to 70%, this replacement income comes to you free of tax. If the premium payment of your long term disability insurance is made with after tax dollars. So in essence, it becomes the equivalent of 100% of your pre-disability, pre-tax income.
Today, two thirds of American families live their lives on a paycheck-to-paycheck basis, and approximately 70% of families can survive without a paycheck for only a month before finding themselves in trouble. Statistically, any working individual is three times more likely to suffer an accident or illness with the potential to render them disabled on a long-term basis, than he or she is to die during their years in the working world. One out of every eight Americans is disabled, and the Social Security Administration denies most disability claims. So, the need for long term disability insurance is greater than ever, and its foundation is a sound financial plan.
Disability insurance will help you protect your monthly pay check if your health or an accident forces you out of work, which will help you make your mortgage/rent payments, handle day-to-day expenses and meet health costs. REMEMBER – YOU ARE A MONEY MAKING MACHINE THAT PRODUCE $100,000, $200,000 OR EVEN $1 MILLION EVERY YEAR. A short-term disability insurance policy helps you make these payments for the first 3 to 6 months, while a long term disability policy helps cover all of these expenses if you cannot return to work beyond that initial 3-to-6-month time period.
Long term disability causes not just emotional stress, but financial hardships as well. If you're not financially secure enough to survive without income for the remainder of your life, you need to have a long term disability insurance policy in place to protect you (MONEY MAKING MACHINE) and your family.
Even if you are secure fiscally, disability insurance may be a wise investment. For example – if you went to work tomorrow and your employer cut your salary in half, what would you do? Obviously, you would quit and find another job, even if you could live on half a salary. So, when you become disabled, financially it is akin to your employer cutting your salary in half (or worse). The difference is that you can't quit a disability!!
Most people with this kind of risk don't have adequate long term disability insurance. They think they won't need the money if they become disabled, or that they can't afford disability insurance in the first place. These are not legitimate reasons to go without protection. For example, you would insure your entire home – not just one room, you'd insure your entire car and not just four tires. So why not protect yourself and your loved ones from the potential financial pitfalls of disability, as well as in the event of your death?
The best way to purchase disability insurance is to buy your own private policy. Most group policies or association disability insurance policies do not offer enough coverage and potentially may have many unknown or overlooked disadvantages.

And another New Book Announcement (and again, yes, I had a hand in publishing this)
Thus Saith Eve, by chris wind: A collection of 'epistles', each written from the point of view of one of the women from The Bible, as if she had a contemporary feminist consciousness. For example, (my fav), Eve does not accept blame for choosing the apple, for choosing knowledge over obedience.

Meter Replacement Project starts Oct 2019
Garland Water Utilities has begun a multi-year capital improvement program to replace aging water meters throughout the city. Water customers may see the city's meter contractor, Compass Metering Solutions, working between the street and sidewalks installing the new water meters. Scheduling of these replacements will be by meter read or billing cycle routes. The city reads water meters Monday – Friday, every week. The city is divided into 20 sections, one for each business day of the month. See map to find out when crews will be working in your area. Meters will be replaced for all customer types such as residential, commercial, industrial, etc. For questions or concerns, please visit GarlandWater.com or call water operations at 972 205-3210.
Annual Smoke Testing for Wastewater Pipes
The Water Utilities department conducts leak detection tests on the pipes of our sanitary sewer system every year during the months of July, August and September. The tests are performed by the department's Inflow & Infiltration section by pumping a special non-toxic, non-staining smoke into the sewer lines a section at a time. If there is a crack or break anywhere in the pipeline, the smoke will rise to the surface and the crew can visually see the exact location where repairs are needed.
Water from rain events or even naturally occurring ground water can seep into pipes that are broken or cracked which adds to the flow of water going to the wastewater treatment plant. More flow means increased processing costs. Keeping this water out of our pipelines saves money and prevents unnecessary high flows through the equipment at the plant.
The smoke is created using a mineral oil base that does not cause harm to humans or animals. It won't leave a residue even if it gets into a resident's house. This test can be helpful for a resident as the smoke may come through if there is a plumbing problem in the house. Smoke will come up in weak spots (plumbing issues) even if the P-trap is full. For seldom used drains or P-traps (10 days or more), the water has probably evaporated and it is recommended that residents put about a cup of water down the drain to fill the P-trap so smoke does not come into the house.
The smoke testing area for summer 2019 will be from Shiloh Rd to N. Melody Ln & Marion Dr. and from Miller Rd. to Cardinal Ln. You can see a map of the area at GarlandWater.com. This year's testing encompasses a fairly large area and may continue through to a few weeks in October. Click here for a larger view of the map.
When the crews plan to work in your neighborhood, an information tag will be hung on your front door three days before the work is started. Rain or high winds can affect the test results so there are times when testing will have to be postponed. Residents will be notified if defects are found on private property.
If you have any questions about the city's smoke testing program, please call 972-205-3210 or email us at email@example.com.

Safe Drinking Water in Garland
The City of Garland's water system is rated "Superior" by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ) - TCEQ's highest rating - and meets or exceeds all state and federal drinking water requirements. Garland Water Utilities is working with our water supplier, the North Texas Municipal Water District as well as national industry experts at the American Water Works Association to make sense of the methodology referenced in the article by BestLife. The guidelines cited in the article are based on their own "health guidelines" rather than the requirements set forth by the federal and state agencies responsible for monitoring drinking water safety.
Garland takes great pride in the high quality of its water, which is the same water shared by the entire North Texas Municipal Water District service area.
An online lifestyle magazine posted a story titled "The 25 U.S. Cities with the Worst Drinking Water." Garland appeared on their list along with 16 other Texas cities, including North Texas cities (Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Grand Prairie, Irving, McKinney and Plano). It is important to note that the Federal and State standards for water quality were not the measurement for this rating. As always, if you have questions about your drinking water, be sure to go straight to the source, your Garland Water Utilities department.

Here's a note Gerard Kennedy sent all his supporters yesterday.
----- Original Message -----
From: Gerard Kennedy
Sent: Wed Nov 05 22:47:11 2008
Subject: Your feedback on new Liberal leadership/Votre rétroaction sur une nouvelle chefferie pour le Parti Libéral
I want to share some thoughts with you concerning the recent election and my role in the upcoming Liberal leadership and ask for your feedback.
First, I have received many congratulations on the victory in Parkdale-HighPark, but want to make sure the credit goes to where it is due – to the team that made it happen. Our extraordinary volunteers and chairs did great work on everything from grassroots fundraising to vote identification to outreach to community organizations. We took a seat away from the NDP in the face of their higher national vote.
Second, I have really been moved by the dozens of emails and phone calls I've received about the leadership. My supporters have not heard a great deal from me since the convention because I felt it was critical to put all of our efforts into supporting the Leader.
Leadership is not our only challenge. It is vital to ensure that the upcoming leadership contest does not impair either party unity or our ability to function well for the Canadian public in these times of economic urgency. Only then will our party will be able to gain back the full trust of Canadians, and defeat Stephen Harper.
I believe we need to ask ourselves the following questions:
Who can connect with and speak for the middle class, particularly in smaller cities and towns across Canada and in large Western cities?
Who can make people, first Liberals and then all Canadians, believe that renewal of the party - openness, effectiveness, meaningful grassroots engagement - will actually take place?
Who can articulate a powerful vision for tomorrow's economy?
Who can position Liberals again as the party of progress – the `radical centre' that is able to define the Canadian consensus about new ways to move the country forward?
I came out of the election campaign very energized by the considerable challenges facing us as Liberals. I will be considering these questions myself in deciding the best role I can play. I welcome any advice, discussion or even debate from you. I will be making a decision on whether to run within the next week. You can reach me directly by return email or at [PHONE NUMBER DELETED] during the day or at my home office at [PHONE NUMBER DELETED].
Best regards,
P.S. Feel free to share this email with anyone you think should receive it.
Here's the campaign office phone number and email, if you have an opinion:
Phone: 416-763-2700
Email: email@example.com
This is no time to be shy :)

| 9°C Belfast
Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks laid bare details of her "car crash" personal life as she gave evidence about the inner workings of the News of the World.
The 45-year-old continued giving evidence in her defence at the Old Bailey today, becoming emotional as she faced questions about her relationships with actor Ross Kemp, her former deputy Andy Coulson and current husband Charlie Brooks, and her difficulties becoming a mother.
She also denied any knowledge of a contract worth £92,000 per year given to private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who has already admitted phone hacking.
Her barrister, Jonathan Laidlaw QC, apologised for having to question her about her love life, including her relationship with former EastEnders actor Kemp, and her affair with Andy Coulson.
She met Kemp in 1995, and they became engaged the following year but split in 1997.
A year later they re-kindled their relationship, and by 2001 they talked about children and marriage.
Mr Laidlaw said " I'm sorry I have to do this" and pointed out that Brooks had lowered her voice as she spoke about children.
Brooks, 45, appeared to well up as she asked for a break, before talking about her fertility treatment, which was halted by the start of the Iraq war in 2003.
She said: "It was a tough year for us. Basically, life was put on hold for Iraq."
The court heard that the couple eventually split in 2005, but it was amicable.
Brooks said: "I am sure if Ross was here, he would say the same. Our whole relationship was a rollercoaster, and so sometimes it was good, sometimes it was not so."
As Mr Laidlaw moved on to her relationship with co-defendant Coulson, who is also accused of conspiring to hack phones, she admitted periods of "physical intimacy" between 1998 and 2006.
She met her husband Charlie Brooks in March 2007.
Brooks told the court: "My personal life was a bit of a car crash for many years. It's probably very easy to blame work but the hours were very long and hard and you got thrown together in an industry like that. It was wrong and it shouldn't have happened but things did.
"Ross was a good man but the two of us weren't meant to be and certainly Andy and I weren't meant to be. When I met Charlie I was happy for the first time."
She was also questioned about the inner workings of the News of the World (NotW) during her editorship between 2000 and 2003.
Asked by Mr Laidlaw if she knew anything about Mulcaire's contract, the former News International chief executive said: "No, not at all."
Brooks admitted that, as editor, an expense as big as that should have been run past her for approval. The court has heard it is claimed that the contract was organised by former news editor Greg Miskiw, who has pleaded guilty to conspiring to hack phones.
Yesterday, as she went into the witness box for the first time, Brooks denied knowing about Mulcaire - who has also pleaded guilty to phone hacking - and said his activities were not drawn to her attention during her time as editor of the NotW.
Mr Laidlaw asked the 45-year-old today: "If someone, say Greg Miskiw, was planning to pay £92,000 a year to someone, or a company, should that have been something brought to your attention?"
She replied: "Yes."
Brooks said that, in 2000 and 2001, her "sign-off level" for payments was around £50,000, so any authorisation for something bigger than that should not only have come to her, but would have had to go above her to then-managing editor Stuart Kuttner.
Mr Laidlaw asked her: "Was that arrangement that Miskiw had come to with Mulcaire drawn to your attention?"
Brooks replied: "No, it wasn't."
As she was questioned on the multimillion-pound budgets given to the tabloid, Brooks told the court: "The NotW was very profitable during my editorship but then it was a good time for newspapers back then.
"I think every year that I was there we had a healthy profit and I think it stayed around the time."
Brooks, of Churchill, Oxfordshire, denies conspiring to hack phones, conspiring to commit misconduct in public office, and conspiring to cover up evidence to pervert the course of justice.
She gave details of large payments made by the newspaper for celebrity pictures and exclusive stories.
David Beckham was paid a million pounds to run excerpts of his autobiography in the Sun and News of the World, Brooks said, and revealed behind-the-scenes deals with celebrities, PR guru Max Clifford and Big Brother contestants such as "Nasty Nick".
Asked about the extent to which private investigators were used by the tabloid from 2000 to 2003, she said: "It was quite normal to have private detectives working on the paper." She said they helped in tracing people who were difficult to find.
Brooks said she would not expect to be told every time a private investigator was used for a story but there were some specific occasions when the use of a private detective was raised with her, such as when the newspaper carried out its campaign for Sarah's Law.
Wearing a grey chiffon dress, Brooks told the packed courtroom that the campaign for parents to have access to details of convicted paedophiles "defined her editorship".
The court heard that Brooks's contract when she became editor of the NotW included a clause that she would be responsible for agreeing payments for contributions to the tabloid, and the accuracy and authenticity of information.
Discussing payments to contributors, including one to Mulcaire's alias Paul Williams for a story relating to Jamie Bulger's killers, Brooks said she did not know he was the source for that story, and he was never a topic of conversation between her and Miskiw.
She said: "I know I didn't hear the name Glenn Mulcaire until he was arrested."
Brooks, 45; Coulson, 46; former NotW royal editor Clive Goodman, 56; Brooks's former personal assistant Cheryl Carter, 49; Brooks's racehorse trainer husband Charles Brooks, 50; head of security at News International Mark Hanna, 50; and ex-NotW managing editor Stuart Kuttner, 73, deny all charges.
The case at the Old Bailey was adjourned until Tuesday.

We`re all over this trend! Knee high platform wedge boots are taking off and are a must have style for the new season, so make sure you get your hands on a pair of our lust-have beauts. Look sleek and stand out in these stunners, lightweight with a side zipper, and a wedge heel, these are refined enough for work and sultry enough for the weekend. Pair them with a mini slip dress for a head-turning night look or leggings and a chunky turtleneck sweater for daytime wear. Another plus about these boots is that they are so much easier to walk in, so you'll be less likely to slip, cause we have to admit stiletto boots are a mission to walk in when the weather is wet.
