Common problems causing drainpipe blockages
- Cracked pipes and holes in pipes that become brittle from corrosion
- Missing pipe bottoms from heavy, corrosive waste
- Debris build-up and obstruction causes limited flow and waste back-ups
- Root intrusion into underground pipe lines causing back-up
- Non-flushable materials wedged in pipes
Walkden Blocked Drain Clearance & Solutions
Blocked sink waste pipes
This is usually caused by fatty substances (grease, cooking oil and fats) washed down the sink and sticking to the inside of pipes, causing a build up then a blockage.
Solution: Internal sink pipes can usually cleaned by either high pressure water jetting or a long, flexible drain wire fed into the pipe from the sink end.
Blocked showers and baths
These issues can usually be caused by a build up of hair, mixed together with shampoo and soap. These will bind together to create pipe blockages, often at the pipe joints or elbows.
Solution: Internal bath and shower drainage pipes are usually cleaned by using either high pressure water jetting or a flexible drain wire.
External outside drain blockages
These can sometimes be caused by more than just the usual waste blockages that affect indoor pipework. Outside drains can easily get blocked up with leaves, tree roots, mud and many more solid substances.
Solution: Outside drains are unblocked and cleared using flexible drain rods and high pressure water jetting.
Blocked toilet pipework
Excess toilet paper, sanitary products, nappies and even the occasional toy or mobile phone being flushed can cause toilet blockages.
Solution: Access to main outdoor sewer pipes and manholes is often required, depending where the drain blockage is located. High pressure water jetting and rods are then used to clear blockages.

3M was kind enough to sponsor a family day at the MN Zoo last summer. The weather was great and the girls loved the exhibits, including the Big Bugs exhibit!
There was even a snack provided for the 3M guests. Bags of caramel popcorn and full size bomb pops! These popsicles were huge, but of course the girls will able to complete the challenge.
Looking forward to spending some more time at the zoo following the renovations to the water exhibits!

On the second day of practice, Rockets players started to see more of what is to come. While the first day contained a lot of walk-throughs and drills, the second day was some actual running.
Jeremy Lin said he liked what he saw from the team already.
"We played a little bit of 5-on-5 full court and it was a lot of transition," Lin said. "We were running and I think some of the guys we brought in love running too so hopefully it will become pretty natural. I think it already is."
In addition to having quick guys ready for the fast pace, Lin said he saw a lot of positives in the variety of ways the team can play.
"I am seeing a lot of different options in our offense," Lin said. "I think it has been pretty cool to see everybody come together. We are working hard and having fun."

CMS NeoPin Magents (photo from Amazon.com). These are not going to be everyone's cup of tea: some people hate stuff on the fridge, and some people have non-magnetic fridges, and some people have kids little enough to eat magnets. But if you DO like having stuff on your fridge, AND your fridge cooperates with that, AND your kids are old enough to eat things from the inside of the fridge and not the outside, then these are GREAT: really strong, and also pretty. They claim to be able to hold 16 pages, and I wouldn't be surprised: Paul recently used one to pin the remains of a pad of paper to the fridge. Because they're kind of expensive for fridge magnets, they'd make a good gift for someone hard to buy for.

Artists to share work at craft fair
As an artist, Sigrid Hobbs will paint on anything, anywhere.
"I don't think I have a pair of clothes that doesn't have paint on them," she said. "Even my nightgown has paint on it."
But her preferred medium is to paint on functional items, the way she has for 57 years, ever since a carpenter in the small German town where she was raised gifted her a set of wooden plates when she was 8.
"We were so poor, we couldn't afford canvas," she said. "I painted on anything I could. I painted on rocks, dishes, on furniture."
She will be showcasing some of her pieces — restored antiques and other collectibles, Santas painted on logs, pressed and painted flowers, among other items — at the Carson High School Craft Fair this weekend.
She will be one of 120 vendors at the 19th annual fair, which raises between $10,000 and $15,000 each year for the high school. Each year, the craft fair displays a variety of vendors, selling an array of goods, including soaps and candles, woodwork, rope baskets, photography, stockings, and more. This year's youngest participant is 11-year-old Shayla Rogers from Reno.
"It's absolutely the best shopping experience in Northern Nevada," said organizer Cathy Barbie. "They can see Santa and shop for everything on their list."
The culinary arts class will have lasagna on Friday night, and Carson City BBQ will be available Saturday.
It will be Hobbs' fourth year at the fair since moving to Carson City from Burbank, Calif., as many years ago.
She and her husband, Ron, a retired school teacher, work together on the projects — he restores the antiques, often destined for the trash otherwise, and she paints them.
Sigrid, who is also retired, said she often spends entire days painting any assortment of items. One of their most popular items this time of year, they said, is a Santa Claus painted on shaved logs collected from Lake Tahoe. It's arduous work, Sigrid said, made possible only through her husband's assistance.
"He lets me fulfill my dreams because he helps me with everything," she said. "I couldn't do it without him."
Ron said he is equally fulfilled.
"I love to share her art," he said. "We're just thankful she has this talent. Whatever I have to do, haul it, fix it or prime it. I get to help her change something that's going to be wasted into something that's wonderful."

Local author Ferrante set for Baseball Hall of Fame event
Recommended Video:
Coleytown Middle School teacher Paul Ferrante worked tirelessly over the past two years as a fictional writer, publishing a trilogy of books in the T.J. Jackson series.
Ferrante's latest novel, "Roberto's Return", revolves around a trio of teenage ghost detectives -- led by title character T.J. Jackson -- who are on the case to find the spirit of legendary Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Roberto Clemente. The journey eventually takes them to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Ferrante, who lives in Fairfield, will follow his protagonists to the hollowed grounds, as he was recently invited to participate in the Summer Author Series held each year at the Bullpen Theater inside the Hall of Fame. Ferrante will speak on Aug. 7 about the book and field questions.
For a kid growing up idolizing the game's greats -- and the game's great writers -- the honor was deeply appreciated by Ferrante.
"It's a big honor, as someone who's always loved baseball, to speak at the Hall of Fame is the pinnacle," Ferrante said. "It's a great venue; just to be among the people that spoke there, big time baseball writers. To be included with them is great."
Ferrante grew up in Pelham, N.Y. and played football four years at Iona College. Ferrante was a running back who helped the Gaels to an undefeated record in 1978. Immediately after college, Ferrante began his teaching and coaching careers at Cardinal Spellman High School in The Bronx.
Once his 15-year coaching career ended due to family reasons, Ferrante put down the whistle and picked up a pen. In 1991, Ferrante began writing for Sports Collectors Digest, a magazine that focuses on the history of baseball. Ferrente moved to Fairfield in 1998 and began teaching at Coleytown soon after.
Ferrante finally got a break in publishing in 2013, when Midwest company Fire and Ice agreed to pick up "Last Ghost at Gettysburg", the first in the series. The second in the series -- "Spirits of the Pirate House" -- was published six months later. "Roberto's Return" soon followed and the trilogy was complete in about a year.
"My head was spinning," Ferrante said. "There was so much to do editing wise, publicity wise and marketing wise. In a way they were too close together."
During his time at Sports Collectors Digest, for which he still writes today, Ferrante developed an understanding for the history of the game. Along with being a frequent visitor to the Hall of Fame for research purposes, "Roberto's Return" was carefully crafted with a historical sense in mind.
Roberto Clemente died at age 38 in 1972 in a plane crash off the coast of Puerto Rico. Clemente was delivering supplies to Nicaragua after an earthquake devastated its capital city. Clemente finished with exactly 3,000 hits in his Major League Baseball career and was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1973.
"First I thought of Jackie Robinson," Ferrante said. "Even though he's one of my all-time favorites, he's kind of been done to death. But Clemente is just as compelling a figure, because of the way he lived his life."
Each book in the T.J. Jackson series involves the quest to find a ghost. Unlike the first two books in the series, which were based on fictional ghosts, writing about Clemente meant paying special attention to the details surrounding his life.
"For his humanitarian work in his homeland in Puerto Rico, where he was considered like a God," Ferrante said. "His body was never found, it was kind of mysterious. I realized this is going to be the guy."
Ferrante hopes to continue the series with a fourth book.
His business card says author and baseball historian. Thanks to his clever combination of the two, he has found himself in Cooperstown.
"If you write about what you love and what you've always been interested in, it's a no-brainer," Ferrante said.

I had similar questions for some time, maybe there are some esoteric texts that give guidance but even then it may lead to the same answer that I found, and that is sri guru.
Sikhs have this knowledge and talk about divine sound, I attuned my studies or rather my consciousness could see more about what Nam is and divine melodies and how things are revealed through gurbhani. There is the external gurbhani and the inner gurbhani, they both have to align. I started to go to my local gurdwar and built up friendships there and they know or they can point to ones that know how to teach, but one needs initiation and I was not prepared to go that far, as much as I respect them and will always learn from them.
There is mantra yoga teachings in goraknath ( Nath) sampradaya and they are active if you look. Sound vibration is key knowledge in all the traditions and sound has various levels and each level gets more and more refined.
As much as I know one needs a guru, at least to get his shaktipat, and then there is the devotion to their order to maintain the traditions, it requires a lot of surrender and devotion, which I am sure you have.
Also many people want to activate the kundalini, now I'm not talking to anyone in particular but this should be approached with caution as to early an activation may not be sensible and I think it always best to advise that the foundations of yama and niyama are frimly set and then when kundalini opens it smooth and natural and not forced. Meditation techniques of samatha calming the mind and also vipassana look like worthy companions too.
If it's a text you want you can study 11th canto where Sri Krsna instructs Uddhava. Srimad bhagavatm is rich in kundalini yoga as I am sure most the puranas are.

I have heard of mantra chanting for 45 days.
Does anyone have any experiences with this?
What happens after this? Does one continue with the mantra chanting?
Many thanks for your responses

Time Gears
Time Gears are ancient relics of great importance in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. Their sole purpose in existence is to regulate the flow of time within the Pokémon World. Once stolen from their specific area, the flow of time within that area alone will grind to a halt.
Story[edit | edit source]
In the games a mysterious criminal is stealing the Time Gears, paralyzing several areas. It is discovered that a Grovyle is stealing the Time Gears, and a massive bounty is placed on his head. All exploration teams were called to catch this criminal, and a famous explorer named Dusknoir lent his great strength in capturing the criminal. However, after several time gears are stolen, Dusknoir told the story of him and Grovyle. According to Dusknoirs account of the story, Grovyle was a notorious criminal in the future. He fled to the past so he could stop time, and Dusknoir was sent to chase after him. After debating what to do, Dusknoir and the three mirage pokemon( Azelf, Uxie. and Mesprit) devised a trap. The four of them went off to Crystal Lake and waited for Grovyle to strike, which he did.
When they captured Grovyle, Dusknoir opened a portal to the future(Called a Dimensional Hole) in Treasure Town. He was saying his farewells to the denizens of Treasure town, and wanted one last look at your character and your partner. As the two of you approach him, he grabs you and your partner and enters the portal. You soon find out that Grovyle is attempting to restore the balance of time, while Dusknoir is trying to stop him. When you return to the past you tell the guild that Grovyle is good, and he was stealing time gears to prevent the destruction of Temporal Tower. The guild thinks you are confused, and that you should go to bed. However, they decide to believe you in the end.
After a while you go to Brine Cave and find out there is a symbol on the wall and it reacts with you partner's Relic Fragment and Lapras who will give you a ride to the Hidden Land, where you may ride find Rainbow Stone Ship, which can ridden to Temporal Tower. There, you and your partner and Grovyle attempt to activate the Rainbow Stone Ship; however, Dusknoir and his Sableye attack you and Grovyle.
After defeating Dusknoir, he tries to attack you, but Grovyle takes the hit and tries to push Dusknoir into the portal leading to the future. Then, your partner comes back.
You and your partner then rode the Rainbow Stone Ship to the Temporal Tower. You go through Temporal Tower and fight Primal Dialga. After the battle, you place the time gears and prevented Temporal Tower from collapsing.

Callup for Springer contingent on many factors
HOUSTON -- Everyone wants to know when George Springer -- the Astros' No. 3 prospect, as ranked by MLB.com -- will be called up this season to make his Major League debut. That will be based largely on the performance by Springer and the Astros' current right-field platoon, but there are certainly other factors the club will have to weigh.
First and foremost is Springer's arbitration clock. The top 22 percent of players with at least two years but fewer than three years of Major League service time are eligible for arbitration if they have accumulated at least 86 days of service time during the immediately preceding season.
Players who qualify for Super Two status would get an extra year of arbitration eligibility -- four instead of three -- and could cost their team millions of dollars. The exact date when a player could be called up and not quality for Super Two status won't be known until season's end, but it's usually in late May or early June. If teams want to play it safe, they would call up a player in late June and not risk having him quality for an extra year of arbitration.
Meanwhile, players who are called up within the first 11 days of the regular season would be under club control one year less than players called up afterward. There are 183 days in a Major League season, and a player can only accrue 172 days of Major League service time, so once a player is in the Minors for 12 days, he doesn't flip over to the next year's service time.

Ah yes, Good Old Forgiving Pat. As someone who didn't quite make it onto the beneficiary list of Pat's forgiveness, I can attest to what it means when she isn't feeling so forgiving. Now, to be clear, I wasn't really expecting nor wanting Pat's forgiveness, either. I knew very well that my tenure as an ADA was ending when Lykos won the primary run-off election. I compared her to a Bud Lite Lizard, for crying out loud.
But for every one of us who did oppose Lykos and subsequently lost our jobs, there are plenty more who kept them. I point this out to give you some reassurance that they can't fire all of you and there is a big difference from what I did during the 2008 campaign and simply expressing your 1st Amendment-protected-political-beliefs in a more, um, "toned down" manner.
Here are some helpful hints if you would like to exercise your 1st Amendment rights as freely and enthusiastically as Rachel Palmer enjoyed her 5th in front of the Grand Jury:
1. Order a copy of your personnel file right now. Seriously. Go do it. I'll sit here and wait for you to get back.
At the end of 2011, Pat Lykos abruptly ordered that all evaluations done on office personnel would be pushed back until after the election. Why exactly she did that is anyone's guess, but it certainly leaves the door open for her waiting until after election time to grade everyone on how they behaved, doesn't it? If she, or the Upper Admin, don't like the way an ADA acts this Spring, they can add an evaluation with bad things and say "Well, we like totally would have put that in the evaluation at the end of 2011, but we didn't do them then," and "This has nothing to do with the prosecutor's 1st Amendment political choices."
Knowing how much Pat Lykos loved me and would probably love going through my personnel file once she became D.A., I ordered a copy of it long before my last day. Pat and Company can curse my name until the cows come home and Don Hooper can call me every name in the book on the Chronicle blogs. But nobody can say I was a bad prosecutor. I've got my personnel file to prove otherwise.
Get yours now before the election. All you have to do is let Scott Durfee know. If John Barnhill asks you why you want it, tell him it's for a scrapbooking project, or better yet, "None of your damn business." Knowledge is Power, people.
2. Your Facebook profile is your own business, too. If you are like me, you are pretty much Facebook friends with everyone you've shared an elevator with at the CJC. Secretaries, Prosecutors, Clerks, Bailiffs, Investigators, Process Servers, Coordinators, Defense Attorneys and even Judges comprise many of our friend lists. With that many people, anything you post on the World's Greatest Social Media Website can easily be learned about by the 6th Floor.
There have been a few instances that I'm aware of that somebody from the Office got in trouble because Jim Leitner got wind of what they had posted on their Facebook account.
Again, remember that discretion can be a big determining factor here. There is a big difference between you "Liking" the Mike Anderson for District Attorney page and you taking a picture of yourself, mooning the camera, with a caption that reads "Pat Lykos can kiss my . . ."
But, if you so choose to support Mike Anderson, do it as an individual. That doesn't mean that you have to take down the Harris County District Attorney's Office as your place of employment before posting anything. Just don't say "As a Harris County Assistant District Attorney, I support anyone other than Pat Lykos."
If Jim Leitner or anyone from Upper Admin even thinks about asking or criticizing you for your 1st Amendment right to vote for whoever the hell you want to, refer them to your lawyer. Or better yet, just plead the 5th. They are totally cool with that.
3. Even if you are concerned about supporting publicly, you can still help privately. As an earlier commenter pointed out, you can still spread the word through your own private e-mails and phone calls to people. Just make sure to be doing it on your own time. Your address book on your home computer or Blackberry or iPhone is filled with plenty of Houston voters that you can send an e-mail blast to. Or just start telling people by word of mouth.
4. Remember that bullies rely on the fact that you won't fight back -- the very definition of a bully is a coward who picks on those they believe to be weaker than them. Those from the Upper Admin who are going around talking about Lykos "not being so forgiving" are banking heavily on the idea that this will scare you into submission. When you come armed with your good personnel file, you can say, "If I get fired for exercising my 1st Amendment rights, I can guarantee you that I'm not going to be forgiving either."
9. Remember the passion you have for your job and translate it into election action. As I've pointed out time and time again, if you add up all the votes received by Kelly Siegler and compare them to those gained by Pat Lykos, Kelly crushed Lykos by thousands of votes. The reason was that during that first primary vote, there was so much passion involved in getting out there, spreading the word, and voting. Unfortunately, when it came time for the run-off, too many people took it for granted that Kelly would crush her again.
Pat Lykos didn't win that run-off, Apathy did. Don't let it happen again, folks.
In the 2010 elections, the passionate work of people working hard for good candidates helped Judges Don Smyth and Marc Brown defeat two very unqualified candidates, despite those candidates having a lot of Republican support.
You've got the Power. Now use it.
10. Keep your eye on the light at the end of the tunnel. You've made it through three years of Lykos and this next one is going to go by quickly. Of course there is no guarantee that Judge Anderson is going to win the election, but I think he will.
Think about what life would be like for you with an actual prosecutor at the head of the Office.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a leader who has been through everything you're going through when he was at the Office? How about one who understands that sometimes there are cases that you just can't make? One who won't have policies that defy justice solely because they please the public? One who won't make you feel like the KGB is watching you at every turn?
Here's a little motivational music for you as we wait for the Primary.

The meeting will take place at:
Thursday, December 2, 5:30pm
If you have a paper you´d like to discuss in the group, please let Professor Baumann know.
The purpose of this group is to provide space to informally discuss work in progress among philosophers in the Greater Philadelphia area (including guests) who are interested in epistemology in a broad sense (including, for example, Philosophy of Science). The group plans to meet approximately 3 times per semester. Papers are circulated in advance so that everyone can review them before the meetings, in order that participants can jump right into the discussion when they meet.

We need direct actions from UN
I heard Burma issue is being discussed at the UN Security Council meeting today. I got no news about the outcome of the meeting yet.
Throughout the past 15 years or so, UN sent representatives to solve national reconciliation in Myanmar. But all the efforts these representatives made were in vain since the Burmese dictator is not willing to move a step towards national reconciliation. Sanctions were made by US and EU but made no difference for more than a decade.
The number of political prisoners is around 1400 and still increasing rapidly these days. National leader Daw Aung San Su Kyi was under house arrest since 2003. Some of elected representatives of 1990 election were in jail or exile. They restrict all the activities of NLD party and keep arresting party members. And, according to confirmed news, five monks died after yesterday's clashes.
So, what will be next after this UN Security Council meeting? We, the people of Burma, need direct actions from UN. A possibility could be deploying UN peace keeping troops and help establishing interim government.

I agree with this post.. UN needs to do something besides sanctions and thanks for the feedback from Burma always. Please take careReplyDelete
The whole world is watching the events in Burma. From 1988 to 2007, it has been and will continue to be a long road towards peace and freedom if the world does not help. I do not agree with China's stance that what's happening in Burma is an internal affair. We live in a global village, in an englightened age. Dictators must be called to account to the people they brutalized. If the people are not given the means to bring down despotic regimes, then the world community must act in one accord. Look at what happened in Kosovo, Mogadishu, East Timor, Darfur and other places. The international community MUST act. If the Burmese junta does not hear the voice of reason then they must be met with force from the international community in the form of UN-mandated military force to restore peace, order and freedom.ReplyDelete

The U.N. Security Council on Wednesday urged Myanmar to admit a top U.N. envoy immediately, but China immediately ruled out calls for sanctions or a U.N. condemnation of the ruling junta's use of force.ReplyDelete
Around the world peoples are watching (this is Switzerland) what's going on in Birma. Pls try to keep us informed, we do our best to pressure politicians in our countries.

I hope the best for all of you! Sometimes I'm crying because of some rules of the UN - the people of Burma need really fast help! We can't let happen the things like 1988...ReplyDelete
Keep your fight on and never lose your hope! Sometimes that's all you got! I'll try to do as much as I can for you from Germany!

Ti West sounds like a rapper's name and for that reason I hate him. Now that we've gotten that out of the way here's the latest trailer for the directors new movie "The Innkeepers". The story revolves around two innkeepers who are determined to prove their inn is haunted before it closes its doors after being open for 100 years. It wouldn't hurt to toss in some bling and girls in booty shorts Ti. I'm just saying.
Norway is so hot right now. Not literally, I bet it's cold as hell over there right now. If you need proof just check out the trailer for "Dunderland" a new flick from the great fjords that follows a group of actors as they uncover the witchy secrets of an old abandoned Boy Scout camp. And by "Boy Scout" I assume they mean trolls because we all know Norway is 75% troll and 35% black metal fans. That's just simple math.
George R. R. Martin, author of "Games of Thrones", has made it ok for grown men to run around dressed up like they work at Medieval Times and not be mocked. For that I am pretty disappointed in him. But I love the show and in turn I am now excited to see that his book series "Wild Cards", which shows the effects of a alien virus outbreak in NYC, will be coming to the big screen.
If you're excited for the next installment of "The Chronicles of Riddick" series then you might be in trouble. Production on the film has been shut down in Montreal because One Race Films, which is owned by star Vin Diesel, have failed to pay for the studio where the film is being shot. If I was Vin I could blow something up then look at the camera and say "Check's in the mail" in a real bad ass voice. What am I saying, Vin Diesel only has one voice, bad ass.

Esher coach Craig Chalmers is urging his troops to rediscover their early season form fast after an embarrassing 43-0 defeat to Coventry.
A dominant first half saw Coventry race to a 23-0 lead before adding a further 20 unanswered points in the second half to leave Esher winless in their past four National Division One matches.
Eight defeats since the start of the year have seen Esher throw away the chance for promotion as they have slipped to fifth in the table – much to the annoyance of Chalmers.
"Results like this are embarrassing not just for the players, but for the coaches and the club," said the ex-Scotland international.
"It was certainly not the result we wanted or expected, so we are bitterly disappointed with how it turned out.
"We are really disappointed because we got ourselves into a good position after 11 or 12 games, but then we have just let it slip."
Esher's James Campbell will face no further RFU disciplinary action after being sent off for a second yellow – card offence in Saturday's defeat to Coventry.
Campbell was charged with acts contrary to good sportsmanship, but the red card he received was deemed sufficient punishment at a hearing on Wednesday.

This past Thursday some friends and I went to Burgatory, I haven't ventured out onto the new Pittsburgh burger scene lately and was really excited to do so. Especially because I have heard some great things about Burgatory. How did Burgatory hold up? Let's dig in…
I started the night out with one of their "Hard Shakes" and the one that caught my eye was the "Apple Pancakes & Bacon" – Gala Apple & Caramel Vodka with Caramelized Apple Pancakes & Bacon. As the menu says "If you're scratching your head right now, you're not ready for this one but trust us – it's oh so good!". No, no it is not! They had my interest because of the flavors in there and I thought maybe they would work well together because of the salty and sweet combo. I can say that outside of the bacon in the shake I thought it was good, because I would take a sip and the sweetness was really good, but then I would get hit with the bacon and it would just ruin everything for me, and then I would have to chew the bacon and other bits in the shake. I know I usually say bacon makes everything better, today we are going to add an asterisk to that line *NOT IN MILKSHAKES!
We then moved to the appetizer of "Six Napkin Nachos"! Menu reads "Tony's Chicken Chili, Fire Roasted Poblano Peppers, Jack & Cheddar, Smoked Jalapeno Sour Cream and fresh Guacamole." Another disappointment at Burgatory, I felt that everything that was on the nachos just didn't give anything a great flavor experience. I think there was too much working against each other as I didn't get any real taste from the nachos, and it tasted mushier than anything. 0 for 2.
Since this is a burger joint and not a nacho bar, hopefully the burger will save the day! A really nice feature is that you can build your own burger at Burgatory but they also have a selection of burgers that they recommend. I tried the Morty's Steakhouse – "Peppercorn Crusted Beef Burger with Horseradish Cheddar, Haystack Onions and Cabernet Sauce." Their tagline for the burger is "Like the greatest steak dinner you've ever had reincarnated as a burger". Let me tell you, I had the greatest steak dinner of my life last summer at Chef Robert Irvine's restaurant in Hilton Head, and this burger doesn't even come close to that! I ordered the burger medium well and the burger was cooked perfectly and juicy, I especially love when there are little juice pockets in a burger for a flavor experience unlike any other. That is about all I can say great about the burger. The peppercorn crust was WAY too over powerful on this burger because that was all I could really taste as I ate the burger. Bite after bite, peppercorn seasoning upon more peppercorn seasoning. The thing that sold me on this burger even more was when reading the menu it has Horseradish Cheddar cheese, where? While it was on the burger, it was scarce and the flavor was minimal as the peppercorn was still battling my taste buds in each bite. I was also interested in the cabernet sauce, but that was just there version of A1. If you have ever had an A1 steakhouse burger from Burger King that is pretty much what I had here except the burger patty was better quality. If you are in the mood for a steakhouse burger, save some money and just go to Burger King. Along with the burger you have a choice of fries or chips, the waitress was selling us on ordering the fries which are homemade and are $1 more. Don't waste the extra dollar and stick with the chips because they are far better tasting and already come with the meal.
The rest of the table created their own burgers and seemed pleased, on my next trip I will make sure to avoid the hard shakes and recommended burgers (along with the seasoning) and create a flavorful burger which is what I should've done in the first place. Overall table rating for the trip was a 7, so the overall Burgatory food experience was just average. Who else has been to Burgatory? Have you had the same experience or has it been for the better?

I kicked off a new campaign about a year and a half ago called "The Gatekeeper," and I have had the extremely good fortune of having a published WotC designer and author at the table with us, Mr. Erik Scott de Bie. Erik, I have come to find out, is a tenacious writer. In the first few weeks of our game, he actually sent me more post game followup than all my players combined have sent me in the following year.
So, I asked him if he'd focus that insatiable pen of his towards

Ive got the basic concept together for the first adventure, but I still need to sit down and stat out potential encounters and spend some time jotting down key locations and information.

Ive decided to try out logging the campaign on Obsidian Portal. I created a campaign there last night. So far, Ive only
I am starting up another campaign soon. I may be a little crazy for trying to run two games simulateously and "assist-DM" in a third, but I just couldn't resist when my buddy asked me to run a game for a group he was putting together.
Unlike most games I have run in the past, I'm not coming to the table with a campaign idea already in hand. Instead, I am working with the players to create their backgrounds and then I am going to build the campaign organically from their
d20pro pushed out an update today. Version 2.1 is out of beta and available for download.
You know, I recently ran a 4th edition demo game using d20pro. It's actually a pretty sweet little app for running remote games, and even for using as a digital replacement for your battlemat at your regular face-to-face games as well. It was designed specifically for the d20 OGL ruleset and has a set of plugins to integrate nicely with Pathfinder. There are also patches for 4th edition, and
A few short weeks ago when the iPad was first announced, I was not among the throng of excited Apple groupies who had already made up their minds before Steve Jobs took one step onto the podium that I would be buying this device no matter what it did.

OLYMPIA — Washington state received so many bids for the new position of marijuana consultant that officials are delaying the announcement of a winner.
Liquor Control Board spokesman Mikhail Carpenter says there were 98 applications for the job, which entails advising the board on rules governing Washington's new legal marijuana industry. The state's voters last fall passed Initiative 502, which legalized up to an ounce of marijuana for adults over 21 and called for a system of state-licensed growers, processors and retailers.
The board had planned to announce the presumptive winning bid on Tuesday, but Carpenter says it's taking a while to go through the bids. The board says it doesn't expect to announce the winner before March 13.

"The Her Honor life skills workshops have become an important part of my everyday life. I learned valuable skills in each workshop that I plan to take with me throughout my life.
My favorite workshop was the Personal Well Being and Healthy Relationships workshop. That workshop taught me more about my body and my health than I had previously known. I feel that that workshop had the most practical everyday life application because it is very important to know yourself and how to care for your mental health as well as your physical health.
I also enjoyed the Financial Planning, Business Attire, and Dining Etiquette workshops. The Financial Planning workshop was very informative and, I believe, necessary for the girls as we venture into the world beyond high school. Before the workshop I did not know much about how the stock market worked, how to use a prepaid card or even the difference between debit and credit. When that workshop ended, I not only knew more about financial planning, but I also gained newfound interest in the stock market.
I found the business attire workshop useful because I always had questions about how to dress professionally for a job interview or for work. The Business Attire workshop also answered lingering questions such as "What counts as dress-casual?" or "How high of a heel is too high?"
For my internship I was placed at MasterCard Global and it was extremely useful to know how to dress properly for the corporate environment. Overall, I found all of the workshops extremely useful and beneficial to my future endeavors."

(AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith met for labor talks in Minnesota on Tuesday without players or owners present, people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.
Three people told the AP that the two power brokers and staff members got together to resume negotiations aimed at ending a lockout now in its fourth month. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because no labor developments are being made public.
NFL.com first reported that Goodell and Smith were meeting.
Smith planned to go to Florida later Tuesday or Wednesday morning to attend a symposium for rookies in Bradenton. People familiar with the situation also said player representatives planned a conference call Tuesday to discuss the negotiations.
The two sides were planning to meet through Friday. The key issue in the dispute centers on how to divide revenues after the league took in about $9.3 billion last year.
On Monday, a small group of players met with their attorneys in Minneapolis, where the players have filed an antitrust suit against the league. The city also is where the sides met for court-ordered mediation in May.
Previous "secret meetings" between both sides have taken place in suburban Chicago, New York, the Maryland shore and last week in Hull, Mass., south of Boston.
Time is becoming an increasingly important factor in reaching a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement. The St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears, scheduled to play in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 7, are set to open training camp three weeks from Friday.
The lockout began on March 12, and players — except for when the work stoppage was briefly lifted in April — have not been allowed to train at team facilities or be in contact with any of their coaches.
Players on several teams have practiced on their own, trying to keep in football shape so they'll be prepared to get back to business on the field whenever the labor impasse ends.

Oliver Broudy on 'The Saint'By Rosalind Parry
Oliver Broudy was a disenchanted freelance journalist living in New York City when he met a philanthropically inclined millionaire whose story struck him as so meaningful that he decided to follow it halfway across the world. The result is The Saint, a short memoir of Broudy's travels with a man whose spiritual efforts range from the incredible to the horrible, and from the enlightening to the self-destructive. Broudy served as managing editor and then senior editor of The Paris Review, working under George Plimpton and Philip Gourevitch.
What made you decide to write this book?
Recklessness, I guess. The last resource of the truly stymied. Before The Saint, I only wrote for magazines. But as sweet a gig as magazine writing can sometimes be, there's a limit to what you can do in that format. Sometimes it can be agonizing, because you get so close to a subject, but the editorial rubric of the magazine prevents you from addressing it the way you'd like to. So you end up sitting there helplessly as this great material sails by. I used to console myself that I could always go back and write my own version of whatever magazine piece was plaguing me at the time, but inevitably by the time you're done with the magazine version, revisiting the same material becomes unthinkable. Those lost opportunities linger and ache. That had happened to me too many times, and I was determined to try something different.

I registered yesterday around 5pm and I'm not sure if that was when you were still having tech difficulties. I can log in to the forum no problem but I still haven't received a confirmation email. I am a kickstarter backer as well.
Hi im a backer, used same email address but cant use backer forum!Had a activation email too
brilliant cheers for speedy action!!
I am in a similar boat.
I created an account with the same email as I have on Kickstarter, got the activation e-mail, but am unable to access the Kickstarter forum. :[
Hi, I've registered with the same username but realised I've used a different email address. Please advise what I should do. Thanks!
I signed up the other day but I believe I may have deleted my activation email in my spam folder :\
Just double reminding/checking that you guys know I'm a backer when you send the email since I used Facebook to connect on kickstarter. Thanks in advance!
Just confirmed that I registered with the same email address as my kickstarter account but I can't get I either. Thanks.
Let me know if that works!
Looks like never received my activation e-mail :P
Probably something to do with me getting server error messages while registering.

What is Cargopedia?
Cargopedia is an international freight exchange, a website that facilitates the connection between carriers and shippers. In other words, Cargopedia is a website of international cargo transport ads, that helps the carriers find loads to be transported, and the shippers find trucks to carry their loads.
Who can create an account on Cargopedia?
Everyone, both companies (as carriers or shippers) and individuals (only as shippers). Please note that we reserve the right to refuse registration to companies that have a bad history of incidents on other platforms.
How do I register on Cargopedia?
Press the Criar conta button from the main section of the site. After completing the registration form, you will be automatically logged into site.
How much does it cost to be a member of Cargopedia?
For the basic functions of the site, Cargopedia access is free (see the Free subscription). This type of subscription has certain limitations. To access all the site's functions, and other benefits, Cargopedia puts at the disposal of its users two types of paid subscriptions, Standard and Premium.
What safety solutions have you implemented?
We believe that safety is an essential thing in transporting, this is why we have implemented multiple measures to protect you:
- The companies that register with false data are refused and deleted from the system;
- Unvalidated companies (What is validation?) cannot see the contact information of other users;
- We implemented a performant incident reporting system;
- Zero tolerance to payment incidents: Unlike other freight exchanges, on Cargopedia you will not see companies with several active payment incidents. Thus, if a company has a payment incident opened against it and refuses to cooperate for its resolution, that company will have the account suspended.
- Proactive attitude towards companies with payment incidents on other platforms: we currently block access to more than 1,000 companies with multiple payment incidents on other similar sites. Thus, we want to ensure as much as possible that you will not encounter on Cargopedia bad payers from other platforms.
Please see the Segurança page for more details.
Why do you accept individuals on the site? Isn't that affecting the platform's safeness?
Although at first we did not accept individuals on our site, from 29 October 2015 Cargopedia started to also allow access of this category of persons. The carriage is, ultimately, universal and it's not fair for us to decide with whom you work, but your own.
Regarding safety, we can ensure you stay cool: although individuals can publish loads, they can not see the contact information of other users - other carriers or shippers. So no individual will call you to ask if you want to transport his/her goods. You decide whether you want to also take orders from individuals or not.
Who publishes the ads on the site?
On Cargopedia each company adds its own ads and establishes its own tariffs and business connections. By publishing ads, you become visible to other companies registered on Cargopedia. After adding a load or truck ad, it will appear first in the ad list on the main page.
How do I add an ad on Cargopedia?
After you login, from the main page press the Adicionar carga or Adicionar camião button, according to your needs. After completing the form, your ad will appear on the site.
How many ads I can publish? Is there a limit?
You can publish as many ads as you wish, even on the Free subscription. However, please note that in order to maintain a fair environment for all members of the Cargopedia, you cannot add duplicate ads on our platform.
What types of vehicles are accepted when publishing the ads?
The moment you publish an add, you may select one of the following types of vehicles: Qualquer camião, Furgão, Camião furgão, Camião toldo, Camião porta-contentores, Camião tri-basculante, Camião basculante, Camião tractor, Camião plataforma, Porta-carros, Transporte de animais, Camião de grua, Camião-cisterna, Tanque de alimentos líquidos.
How many users/contact persons can be defined for a company?
All Cargopedia subscriptions (including the Free plan) allow adding an unlimited number of users or company locations.
What does the activity rating on Cargopedia mean?
The activity rating on Cargopedia, displayed in the form of stars after the company name (in the page of every ad and in the profile page), is a score that reflects the number of ads published on the website by that company, considering the average number of notices published by other members of Cargopedia. If you are close to the average of other users, you'll have 3 stars. If you exceed the average, you'll have 4 or 5 stars. The rating is calculated automatically after an intelligent algorithm.
What does the score of reviews from other users mean?
Every user has the right to offer a review to another company whom he has collaborated with, in the form of a comment and a scoring, from 1 to 5. This way, the serious companies will distinguish themselves and will offer more confidence.
Do I have to reload/refresh the site to see the latest ads?
No, it isn't necessary. The list of the adds refreshes automatically every time a new ad is posted.
What should I do if I have a payment or transport incident?
Access the Incidentes section from the admin area and press the Novo incidente button to open a new incident. After completing the details of the incident and attach the justifying documents, your incident will be published in this section, and the claimed company will be notified by e-mail.
When did Cargopedia appear?
Cargopedia is an evolution of the Romanian freight exchange Marfador, launched in 2014. After local success, in year 2015 we expanded internationally with an improved service, under the new name: Cargopedia.

Conservation and Environment in Peru: Monthly Updates
Monthly Update - October 2008
As the rains continue to hold off work has continued and it is with great pleasure that I can announce a record breaking year in the turtle repopulation project. Not only have we smashed our record for live hatchlings here at Taricaya but our pilot program with the Ese'eja natives of the Palma Real community has proved to be a huge success also. Elsewhere we have been working hard around the centre with some new aquariums and terrariums, repairs to our older bridges and some fantastic sightings around the reserve. There has also been a well-deserved turn of events as Reserva Ecologica Taricaya has been chosen as the best conservation project in the southern Amazon of Peru by a prestigious Japanese television channel who now wishes to broadcast live, via satellite, from Taricaya to promote our dedication to conserving the most diverse ecosystem on the planet.
Those of you who have been following our progress over the years will not be surprised when I report that we have improved once again in our repopulation project of the freshwater side-necked turtle (Podocnemis unifilis). Nonetheless, this year has been a truly remarkable effort. I had already reported on our need for an extra artificial beach during the collection phase of the project and on top of this we have achieved a new high for the occlusion rates also. This in turn has meant that we have hatched close to 1400 baby turtles of which half have already been successfully released back into the river. The remaining babies are currently being housed in a large pool for release at a later stage. As for the pilot project at the Palma Real community, you will recall our initiative to teach the natives to value their natural resources. To summarise we wanted to demonstrate to the locals that live turtles have a greater value than their eggs which are poached and sold in the local markets. The result was a trial collection of 40 nests by the community school where we, Taricaya, promised to reward the school for the number of hatchlings born. This is a model for a project currently operating in the north of Peru whereby 20% of the babies are exported to Japan and the rest are released back into the wild. This way the natives earn more money than by the sale of all the eggs and 80% of the poached eggs are successfully hatched and released. I was a bit nervous that the community would not take good care of the eggs during transport from the river beaches and that they would not be well treated when relocated in their artificial beach but I was happily proven wrong as we counted close to 350 hatchlings on our follow-up visit. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of the project was the excitement on the children's faces as we went down to the river to release the babies into the river. The survival rates for their eggs was close to 50% and whilst an ideal number would be 65% or higher it was a fantastic achievement and there will be ceremony where we reward the school and its children with a new peke-peke motor on the community's anniversary on 30th November.
It has been a while since I have reported on the wildlife sightings around the reserve and this is not because there have not been any but that other news has always seemed to take precedence. I will redress that oversight as we have seen some amazing animals at Taricaya over the last few months. It is just difficult to know where to start! Just this week we were fortunate to see a giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), red howler monkeys (Alouatta seniculus) and fresh jaguar tracks (Panthera onca). Earlier this month we were lucky enough to see a baby Brazilian porcupine (Coendou prehensilis), neo-tropical otters (Lontra longicaudis), a Brazilian tapir (Tapirus terrestris) and much more. A few years ago I would have been celebrating over sightings of white-lipped peccaries, brown capuchin monkeys and squirrel monkeys but these animals are now observed so frequently around the trails that it just reaffirms how healthy the reserve has become. There is seldom a time when groups go out on the trails without recording sightings of at least one mammal species, often many more, and I am certain that the imminent rains will provide our fauna with much needed food.
Over recent times Taricaya has become increasingly recognised for its dedication and innovation in the field of conservation and the latest organisation to approach us is the Japanese television channel, NHK. Unknown to me, over recent months they have sent many visitors to the area to investigate filming possibilities in a cutting-edge conservation project. They consulted with MITINCI, the government eco-tourism agency, and visited all the eco-lodges in the area and decided that Taricaya was the most effective conservation initiative in the region. As a result they will be broadcasting live, via satellite, on 8th November as they demonstrate a range of activities that we are involved in. These will include releasing the baby turtles, the animal rescue centre, volunteers working in the field and much more. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of this recognition is that it was achieved at a local level and not by an external contact. This means that after extensive research the station concluded that we are making a genuine difference and their choice further justifies our continued hard work and dedication.
Elsewhere at Taricaya we have been working hard in the animal rescue centre and as we continue to improve our protocols for the management of the animals we are starting to equip ourselves for a more detailed control on disease and DNA testing. In conjunction with another rescue centre, Amazon shelter, we are hoping to join forces and set up a protocol for testing blood samples of our animals. The problems we face in the jungle are a lack of freezers to keep samples fresh and a qualified centre to perform the analysis. That said, in conjunction with Amazon shelter, we are hoping to perform some basic tests ourselves and so this month I started to collect some biometric data from our birds. The idea is to gather enough data to study growth rates, genetic variation within our animals and, in the case of birds, the sex of each individual. All this work will take time and the capturing of the animals is stressful and so cannot be done more than once every six to eight weeks. By monitoring weight and by increasing doses of vitamin B we can strengthen the birds so that the extraction of blood will have as little effect as possible. It is an exciting time for the program and as we continue to encounter little support from the government it is time to prove that we can manage with or without them and hopefully convince them once and for all that we are serious in our work and that we will push forward with or without them.
I am also very pleased to announce the completion of some brand new terrariums where we are currently housing some very interesting snakes that we wish to study. We currently have a beautiful pair of parrot snakes which we found mating and so now we are waiting to see if the female produces live young or eggs, a fact that we do not know and have been unable to find out. We also have a fantastic false viper which is an imitation of the deadly fer-de-lance and again its toxicity is unknown and we are already seeing some fascinating behaviour that I have never come across before. As we continue to study these reptiles I shall keep you all informed and on a final note with herpetology our latest caiman hunt on the river gave us the wonderful surprise of a dwarf caiman (Paleosuchus palpabrosus). It is unusual to find these caiman in the big rivers but I can only assume that the continued absence of rain has meant that the streams and swamps are exceptionally low and the dwarf caiman have moved in search of food.
There is so much going on and November will see us welcome back Hugo Zamora as we continue our bat study, Mauricio Ugarte will also visit as we push on our bird studies and much more to keep us all busy as usual...

My February piece for Palate Press takes a look at what wine lovers can learn about (I'd say, a more balanced, maybe more functional attitude toward) terroir. Does beer have terroir? Finding a definitive answer is, I think, less important and interesting than what we can learn by thinking through the question. It also gives me an excuse to mention Beers Made by Walking, an inventive and classically Oregonian project combining hiking, foraging, and beer. And Rogue Brewing Company, possibly the most creatively place-focused brewery in the country (at least among those big enough to sell beyond their own doors). These people embody so very much of what I love about being an Oregonian.

Cocktails and Spirits with Paul Clarke: Mixing Caffeine and Alcohol Isn't Always a Bad Idea
Weekly insight into the world of drinks with Paul Clarke from the Cocktail Chronicles and Imbibe magazine.
What with all the buzz, pardon the pun, about Four Loko and other caffeine-cranked beverages that deliver a whopping payload of alcohol and that, according to Stephen Colbert, "allow you to fall off a bar stool all night long," it's easy to forget that the practice of mixing a boozy bump with a caffeinated zip isn't exactly new.
As Frank Bruni wrote recently in the New York Times, most liquor-laden coffee drinks are straight from the dessert menu, the drinks all too often defined by "a milky, messy nimbus of Baileys or a cloying slick of Kahlúa."
Today, of course, both cocktails and coffee are being enjoyed on a particularly geekish level, and Bruni writes that now coffee and liquor are encountering each other in a glass in ways that no Irish Coffee connoisseur could have anticipated. It was, as he writes, to be expected, as bartenders such as Troy Sidle from The Randolph at Broome in New York trace "a beverage frontier that is bound to get more attention over the next few years, as cocktail worship and coffee fetishism inevitably overlap."
Rather than the rich, sweet drinks that have long defined the genus of coffee cocktails, the drinks being mixed at places such as the Randolph and Fort Defiance in Red Hook, Bruni writes, are introducing more adventurous flavors into the mix, such as the bitter-orange quality of Ramazzotti amaro, the crisp bite of apple brandy and the measured lushness of Danish cherry liqueur.
And while coffee drinks have long been considered best suitable for after-dinner sipping, or as a warmer on a cold afternoon, Fort Defiance reports that sales of these drinks are most brisk around 10 p.m., when the drinkers "want to wake up but [...] don't want to sober up—not yet," says St. John Frizell, the bar's owner.
Of course, bartenders venturing down this path don't just have a good selection of liquor to work with. Artisan roasters such as Intelligentsia and Stumptown are providing restaurants and bars with coffees as extraordinary in flavor as some of the carefully aged spirits on the back bar. Taking the combination a step further, St. George Spirits recently introduced Firelit, a brandy-based coffee liqueur made with single-origin beans from Oakland-based Blue Bottle Coffee; and earlier this month, House Spirits in Portland, Ore., added a rum-based coffee liqueur to its apothecary line, made with organic Guatemalan beans from Cellar Door Coffee.
While a concentrated blast of caffeine and alcohol doesn't look like a good idea to pretty much anyone right now, the practice of enjoying a moderate measure of both shouldn't be tossed out with the Four Loko bathwater. Do you enjoy drinks that match coffee with a little something extra? Let's hear your favorites.

Released Palestinian hunger striker arrives in Gaza
Ayman Sharawneh receives hero's welcome; taken to hospital in Gaza City
EREZ CROSSING, Gaza Strip (AP) — A freed Palestinian prisoner was given a hero's welcome in the Gaza Strip on Sunday evening after ending his hunger strike in an Israeli jail and agreeing to a plea bargain that will confine him to the Hamas-run territory for the next 10 years.
After his release from Israeli custody, Ayman Sharawneh arrived at the Erez Crossing in an ambulance with its siren blaring and red lights flashing as dozens of TV cameramen and photographers precariously gathered around the vehicle as it crossed into Gaza. Dozens of Palestinians waved national flags and chanted slogans calling for freedom.
Sharawneh, 53, appeared weak, shaky and shrunken, and was taken to a hospital in Gaza City.
Sharawneh, a resident of the West Bank, had been refusing food since last July to protest his incarceration. His lawyer, Jawad Bulous, said Sharawneh accepted the offer of confinement to Gaza, fearing he would be sent to prison for decades in a military court hearing set for Monday.
"The occupation committed two crimes," Sharawneh said, referring to Israel. "Arresting me, and then keeping me away from my family. But in Gaza, I am also with my family," he said, his voice croaking as he spoke from his hospital bed.
Sharawneh, who was serving a 38-year prison sentence for participating in militant attacks, was among about 1,000 Palestinian prisoners freed in 2011 in exchange for an Israeli soldier held for five years by Hamas militants in Gaza.
In one attack, he detonated an explosives-filled handbag in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba, wounding more than a dozen people. He was also involved in a kidnapping attempt, according to Israel's Shin Bet security service.
He was arrested again in January 2012 after being accused of violating the terms of his release by making contact with members of the militant Islamic group Hamas. The military court could have ordered him to serve out the remainder of his original sentence.
Sharawneh began his hunger strike in July but halted it for a month, believing at the time he would be released.
His confinement to Gaza means he will be cut off from his family. It is difficult for Palestinians in the West Bank to obtain permission from Israeli military authorities to cross Israel to enter Gaza. The West Bank flanks Israel's east, while Hamas-ruled Gaza borders Israel in the southwest.
Even so, Sharawneh's mother said she was pleased. "It doesn't matter if he goes to Gaza. To be freed is the most important thing," said Zahra Sharawneh. "I hope the people of Gaza greet him and give him the care that he needs."
The Shin Bet said in a statement Sunday that Sharawneh could leave Gaza after the 10-year period "if he hasn't returned to terror activity."
Sharawneh was among four Palestinian prisoners who have been on a long-term hunger strike.
Another, Samer Issawi, has been on a hunger strike for over seven months. He began refusing food in August, when he was detained. He has taken nutrients in a hospital drip from time to time to stay alive, although his health condition is considered grave.
Issawi was sentenced to 26 years in prison for his involvement in a series of shooting attacks targeting Israeli police cars and students at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
Issawi was also freed as part of the 2011 prisoner exchange and was re-arrested for violating his release conditions.
The two other hunger strikers, Tarek Qaadan and Jafar Ezzeldeen, are in administrative detention, a system where prisoners can be held indefinitely without being charged, in three-month renewable periods. They began refusing food when they were detained over four months ago.
Israeli security officials suspect the two men are members of the violent Palestinian group Islamic Jihad and were overseeing militant activity, but neither has been charged.
About 4,000 Palestinians are in Israeli prisons for crimes ranging from throwing rocks at soldiers to deadly militant attacks. Palestinians see them as fighting for their national liberation, while Israelis widely regard them as terrorists.
West Bank protests demanding their release have repeatedly turned violent in recent weeks.

Research Interests
I am an evolutionary biologist with broad interests. I have worked on a range of projects on human and non-human primate behaviour and ecology. I am currently particularly interested in the evolutionary processes that create and shape diversity between and within groups. Through my PhD research, I am keen on exploring the dynamics of cultural transmission and learning in human populations, to better understand the diverse patterns of behaviour we observe.

It's been a few weeks since we returned from the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics 2013 and now that we're settled back in to the daily routine, I thought I would give some highlights on the show. I was happy to be joined this time by our new Marketing and Communications Specialist, Angelica Perrone, who did a great job navigating the complex photonics market for the first time.
While the conference seems to be chugging along at a nice pace, the tradeshow has most definitely become a smaller venue. We were once again hosted by our strategic partner, Thorlabs (thanks, again guys!) and being in such a central location on the floor, we were able to get a good flavor for the pace of the show. Here are my thoughts:
Little, different, yellow, better
Anybody get that Nuprin reference? Anybody? See what I 'm talking about here.
Okay, so it's not yellow (although yellow lasers are cool), but the show is definitely getting smaller. I mentioned to a colleague that since the show is in San Jose for the second year in the row, it seemed like the barriers on either end of the tradeshow floor had moved in just a bit.
As far as different, the show is not like other photonics shows in that it is pretty focused in its applications. While there were some interesting talks on microscopy, this was a small portion of the material, with most others focussing on more laser-centric applications, as the title of the conference implies.
As far as better, I would say that for BMC, it was most definitely better for our new products: The Reflective Optical Chopper(ROC) and the Linear Array DM. We recieved more interest in these products over our legacy deformable mirror technologies. This is exciting for me as a product marketer and salesperson and even moreso as a member of a company that is always looking for new avenues for our technology. We see the ROC being useful for users who span from pure laser scientists to imaging engineers interested in chopping a beam at high speed with either a constant or variable duty cycle. The linear array has already proven useful in pulse shaping applications as described in our whitepaper, which is available for download here. Both products are available for purchase now.
Our Wavefront Sensorless Adaptive Optics Demonstrator for Beam Shaping (WSAOD-B)also generated some buzz. More and more applications which require wavefront correction are surfacing and need a solution without a wavefront sensor.
In all, it was a good show that has given me and my team work to do as we explore more exotic applications for our technology. I look forward to joining the show again next year and I hope to connect with all of you again in the near future!

NEW YORK (AP) Carmelo Anthony and JR Smith each scored 20 points, and the New York Knicks beat the Washington Wizards for the 10th straight time, 108-87 on Friday night.
Tyson Chandler and Ronnie Brewer each added 12 points for the Knicks, who improved to 6-0 at home and also beat the Wizards for the ninth straight time at Madison Square Garden. Both winning streaks are their longest active against one team.
Chandler finished with 10 rebounds but his 5-of-8 shooting represented a cold night after the NBA's leading shooter had made 16 of 17 over his previous two games and came in shooting 71.8 percent for the season.
Raymond Felton scored 11 points for the Knicks, who shot 53 percent from the field in their third straight game without starting guard Jason Kidd, who remains out with lower back spasms.
Jordan Crawford scored 17 points and rookie Bradley Beal had 14 for the Wizards, who beat Portland 84-82 on Wednesday for their lone victory after a 0-12 start but were never in this game after the first 10 minutes.
The Knicks led by nine after one and kept increasing their lead, going ahead by double digits throughout the second half and by as much as 23.
The only time the home fans grew restless was at the half, during the filming of a scene for the upcoming Vince Vaughn film ``Delivery Man.'' After a hard foul, the actor playing the Knicks star had to shoot two free throws but couldn't make both, the boos growing louder with each miss until he had to be rattled.
The real Knicks had nothing to worry about.
Leading by one, the Knicks closed the first quarter with a 10-2 spurt for a 26-17 lead, holding Washington to 32 percent shooting. The Knicks then made 12 of 19 shots in the second, getting eight points from Pablo Prigioni and building a 13-point advantage before going into the locker room up 57-46 after Anthony rattled in a jumper at the buzzer.
Notes: The Wizards' last victory in New York was Dec. 6, 2006. ... Kidd did some shooting Friday morning and hopes to return next week, though coach Mike Woodson wasn't sure, saying the Knicks would have to just continue to wait. .. Chandler's ``Rebound 4 Rockaway'' campaign will team up with the NBA players' association on Saturday to deliver items to families affected by Superstorm Sandy in Far Rockaway, N.Y.

Personalized Learning Pathways & Competency-Based Learning
Throughout our schools and community, our students, parents and community members have heard reference to competency-based learning. Why as a greater school community are we talking about competency-based learning? Anyone who has raised or worked with children knows that every child is different; they develop at different rates and have unique ways of learning. Each one has their own affinities and interests. Inter-Lakes has a long history of recognizing each learner's uniqueness. However, as I hope you know, at Inter-Lakes we are never satisfied to rest on past/current laurels, but rather we are committed to continuous growth, which we like to think of as moving from our Best to our Next!
This Next is prompting us to provide all students PK – 12 with greater opportunities for personalized learning pathways that allow them to achieve and demonstrate mastery of our academic and personal competencies. In order to expand our pathways, we are focusing our efforts on creating:
- Learning outcomes that emphasize application and creation of knowledge, along with the development of important skills and dispositions;
- Explicit, measurable, transferable learning objectives that empower students; and
- Assessment practices that are meaningful and a positive learning experience for students.
Adapted from original Image by Craig Froehle
The foundational pieces above coupled with building on current classroom and school structures will allow us to increase opportunities so that:
- Students receive timely, differentiated support based on their individual learning needs; and
- Students advance upon mastery of the competency and move on when ready.
What is competency-based learning?

Broccoli and Chinese leaf curry in a miso base
Broccoli and Chinese leaf curry in a miso base
It's only now that I can see chapters in my life. As ceaseless as each one may feel, they do. I wasn't there on the day of my father's bypass because I had an exam the next day and I didn't cry at my wedding, not even a damp eye. I cried the entire day at work when I failed the first and only (postgraduate) exam of my life. There was a time when I would curl my eyelashes post clear mascara every day and have regular facials. At a point in my life all I could see was the next level up. I wasn't sure if I would cry at the birth of my child. Look at me now.
In the same way, not every curry needs to have a tomato base…or a coconut one. Mellow it out now and again with some umami. Earthy. I'm not sure I like that word much. Anyway, I put this curry together very quickly because Chinese leaf and broccoli need barely any time at all and the japanese miso is soothingly easy to eat as well as prepare. A healthy and light bite in the broccoli and some gentle spices…aah.
If you like miso, head over to my friend Kellie's site where you will find some fabulously creative and definitely delicious concoctions that will leave you glowing with health. One of my favourite of her miso-inclusive recipes is her Honey-miso roasted broccoli and wholegrains salad
200g broccoli, cut into medium sized florets
1 tsp. soy bean paste
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. amchur powder
500ml warm water
1 tsp. cumin seeds
2 kaffir lime leaves
2-3 green chillies slit open
½ tsp. turmeric powder
1/3 tsp. garam masala
200g Chinese leaf, shredded
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp. minced ginger
One medium onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp. coriander powder
Salt to taste
1 tbsp. corn flour
2 tbsp. cooking oil
1. Heat the oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds, turmeric and chillies. Allow the seeds to sizzle before stirring in the onions and garlic.
2. Mix the corn flour with the warm water.
3. Sauté the onions and add the amchur powder and coriander powder, cook until the onions soften before adding the broccoli and water.
4. Stir in the soy bean paste, soy sauce, and kaffir lime leaves and ginger before bringing the base to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes before mixing in the Chinese leaf and then cook for a further 2-3 minutes.

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Queen Elizabeth has awarded a royal warrant to the family-owned London hotel which captured the attention of nearly two billion people around the world when Kate Middleton stepped from its doors on her way to marry Prince William.
The Goring Hotel where the now Duchess of Cambridge spent her last night as a single woman has been awarded a "Royal Warrant of appointment to HM The Queen for Hospitality Services", the hotel said in a statement this week.
Jeremy Goring, whose family built the Belgravia hotel more than 100 years ago, said he believed it was the first royal warrant ever given to a hotel by Queen Elizabeth.
"To be able to display Her Majesty's coat of arms is something that the staff will be enormously proud of," Goring said. "It is made all the more special for us because I believe this is the first Royal Warrant The Queen has ever granted to an hotel."
Royal warrants are a mark of recognition that tradesmen are regular suppliers of goods and services to the royal households, according the official website of the British monarchy.
Strict regulations govern the warrant, which allows the grantee or company to use the legend "By Appointment" and display the royal coat of arms on products such as stationery, advertisements and other printed material, in his or her premises and on delivery vehicles.
The Goring family continues to run the hotel 103 years after it was built by Jeremy's great grandfather in 1910 and prides itself on offering the "very highest levels of hospitality to be found anywhere in the world".
The 69-bedroom hotel located in Belgravia close to luxury shopping in the British capital and Buckingham Palace has been playing host to royal guests since it first opened its doors.
The coronations of George VI and the current queen saw the hotel filled with foreign royalty.
An estimated audience of two billion people tuned in to watch Middleton as she stepped from the hotel to a waiting car to head for her glittering wedding at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.
A stay at the Goring can cost from 290 pounds ($470) per night for a single "queen-bedded" room to 8,400 pounds per night for the two-bedroom royal suite.
($1 = 0.6215 British pounds)

HardTimes.ca conducted an interview with HELMET mainman Page Hamilton when the band played at Studio Juste Pour Rire in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on October 19, 2010. You can now watch the chat below.
HELMET released a new full-length album, "Seeing Eye Dog", on September 7. The band's first LP since 2006's critically acclaimed "Monochrome" and its seventh album overall was made available on the indie Work Song label (with physical distribution by Redeye and direct-to-fan digital delivery by Topspin). The CD was produced by Hamilton, with additional production by Toshi Kasai and vocal production by Mark Renk.
In a recent interview with The Skinny, Hamilton stated about "Seeing Eye Dog", "I knew I was going to make a record. I mean, I wanted to make a record, but it took some time because we got burned by the last record company — so I was a little bit gun-shy. That had never happened to me before, my relationships with [previous labels] Amphetamine Reptile and Interscope were both excellent, respectful and they were men of their word.
"It's a really bad feeling. You write your songs and they go out there to the world, you fulfill your end of the bargain or the contract or whatever and [the label] just go 'Hey, we're going bankrupt. Sorry, but we can't pay you, and we're going to hold onto this for a while cause we're making some money off it.' And that's what happened. So it's been a pretty lean couple of years for me and I'm in debt right now because I paid for this album with my credit card and my manager's good faith.
"Once I was clear last summer I sat down for a couple of months and just started writing songs, and it came together. I felt very comfortable and confident. I think you reach that point where you just do your thing."
Regarding the evolution in HELMET's sound, Page said, "Every day you live your life, you work on your guitar, you work on your singing, you read books — you have more life experiences. So theoretically, as a musician, you should grow and things are going to progress. But to take a complete left turn and try to reinvent yourself is more of a self-conscious approach, and that works for some people."
Hamilton is joined by drummer Kyle Stevenson, guitarist Dan Beeman and bassist Chris Traynor; HELMET's live bassist is Dave Case.
