I might be over-extending my drawing skills here, but I LOVE this poster. There's just something about it, even though it's kinda famous.
Here is round one. I've built most of the major shapes, have not even started on the lettering yet, but it's already looking pretty awesome. There's no texture here, and I knw I have to add the contouring, but I'm pretty darn proud of how it looks so far. The Blob Brush is definitely a near and dear friend on this one, although I started out just using the pen tool. I need to work on the lattice-work around the cat's head, but I'll probably have to find a higher-resolution image to work with because the image I'm copying from is really hard to see when I zoom in that far.
Ok, so I did all the lettering for this by hand, because I knew there was no way I'd find a font that looked right. I did the contours using the pencil tool, made them white and then changed the line profile and transparency. To change the bottom of the red banner, I just used the pencil tool to edit the existing line. I copied that banner and then deleted two sides and changed the line profile to do the partial black border.I'm not sure why some of the red lettering looks blurry, but I think it's because the jpeg I created is a little low-res. I also re-sampled the color for the gradient on the background because the original color was really off. I still need to do some textures but I'm skipping the lattice work on the red circles because the original jpeg is too low-res to see it, but I think this looks pretty awesome!!

TORONTO, Feb. 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xtra-Gold Resources Corp. ("Xtra-Gold" or the "Company") (TSX:XTG) (OTCBB:XTGRF) is pleased to announce today that the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has accepted a noticed filed by the Company of its intention to renew its prior normal course issuer bid for a further one year period. The Company intends to proceed with a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 4,119,002 common shares of the Company (the "2014 Bid").
The Company is commencing the 2014 Bid because it believes that the current market price of its common shares may not fully reflect the underlying value of the Company's business and its future business prospects. The Company believes that the purchase of common shares for cancellation is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders by increasing the respective proportionate shareholdings and therefore increasing the respective equity interest in the Company for all remaining shareholders.
As of February 10, 2014, the Company had 46,259,917 common shares issued and outstanding. The 4,119,002 common shares that may be purchased by the Company under the 2014 Bid represent approximately 10% of the public float of the Company. The 2014 Bid will commence on February 17, 2014 and will terminate on February 16, 2015 or at such earlier date in the event that the number of shares sought in the 2014 Bid has been repurchased. The Company reserves the right to terminate the 2014 Bid earlier if it feels that it is appropriate to do so.
All shares will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, and payment for the common shares will be in accordance with TSX policies. The price paid for the common shares will be the market price at the time of purchase. Purchasing may be suspended at any time, and no purchases will be made other than by means of open market transactions during the term of the 2014 Bid.
The maximum number of common shares that may be purchased on a daily basis is 1,697 common shares representing 25% of the average daily trading volume for the last six calendar months, except where purchases are made in accordance with "block purchases" exemptions under applicable TSX policies. The common shares purchased by the Company will be cancelled.
The Company has engaged Haywood Securities Inc. to act as broker through which the 2014 Bid will be conducted.
Previous purchases were made by the Company under a prior normal course issuer bid (the "2013 Bid"), the results of which are noted hereunder.
Results of 2013 Bid
Xtra-Gold acquired 280,000 common shares at an average price of $0.42 per share under the 2013 Bid which commenced on February 15, 2013 and will expire on February 14, 2014.

Xtra-Gold is a gold exploration company with a substantial land position in the Kibi Gold Belt.

Xtra-Gold holds 5 Mining Leases totaling approximately 226 sq km (22,600 ha) at the northern extremity of the Kibi Gold Belt. The Company's exploration efforts to date have focused on the Kibi Project located on the Apapam Concession (33.65 sq km), along the eastern flank of the Kibi Gold Belt.

Wives, I address all of you here today, and, rather urgently I might say.
The time of the year is upon us. The time to "catch a cheating husband." So, if you have any doubts, suspicions, or concerns, that YOUR spouse might be cheating on you, then you need to read and listen closely. If you care to of course.
This is the time of year when Mistresses yearn for their married lover who is off with the family on that 'dreaded' and 'oh-so-boring' summer vacation he says he doesn't want to be on. The time when he knows he has to somehow keep communication going with his Mistress-in-waiting, so that she will still be there waiting for him with open arms (and other parts) when he gets back from his intense family time. After all, the poor guy will need some release and some good times after being holed up with that wife he says he has "nothing in common with" (yawn!!). So wives, I urge you, watch your husband's movements this vacation trip. If he has to keep popping out to 'call the office,' be aware, and check his last numbers dialled. If he has to have some alone time, or needs to go play lengthy rounds of golf etc, whatever his reasons, if he needs to be alone then it could well be to have lengthy chats with his other woman (who, mark my words, will be giving him immense flack for being away with you and leaving her for so long.)
If you think I am making this up, don't. I had an affair with a married man once, who took the kids to Disneyland Paris on vacation. He feigned everything from conference calls to upset stomachs in order not to go on the rides with his wife and the twins, just so he could have the time to call me. Often. To tell me how bad a time he was having (yawn) but you get my point? Not fair to either woman, Wife nor Mistress!!
So wives, don't dig your heads in the sand this summer, as all you will get is sand in your hair. IF you have ANY doubts or concerns then sign up for my online Summer Wife School. Lets put those doubts to bed, once and for ALL!! Think of me as your factor 20, but for infidelity protection, not sun protection.

Morning bg
Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do with my morning bg ? In the mornings my bg is low in the 60s . I wake up with a bad headache nd sometimes i feel cold nd clamy . What type of snacks do i eat at night time before i go to sleep .
39 replies
Would your current diet allow you to eat an apple before bed? That sometimes helps. Or perfphaps your insulin might need to be discussed with your doctor. There are many different types. Some are slow acting, or delayed. I would definitely discuss with your endocrinologist. Hope this is helpful.
I used to have the same problem when I was newly diagnosed. My dr had me to test about 1 hr before bedtime, and if I was 100; I was to have a snack…Always lower than 100, usually about 72-80; eat pntbutter on graham cracker. This is a slow digesting food that works wonders for me until I get up, check numbers are normal and then eat my breakfast. When you drop 70 or below, you have low blood sugar and I agree the cold, clammy, headache, dizzy feeling from low blood sugar is scary and one that I watch very carefully. I have been doing this about 15 months and it works for me.
MewElla you have started me on the pntbutter but can't seem to find graham crackers in this country, spoke to staff in our local Asda and the man said no they don't have them, I then explained what I needed them for and he started shouting at me that they DON'T SELL THEM. I just said 'Thank you for your time you have been so helpful and I do appreciate you going that extra mile for your customers'
I think they are called digestive biscuits in your country. To make a crust similar to a graham cracker crust people use digestive tea biscuits and rich tea biscuits. Maybe one of them would work for you.
My husband used yahoo and searched graham crackers called in England. I forgot you are in Scotland. I think my husband has a wee bit of the Scotts in his family.
Great, now that mystery is solved.
Translation please for agony aunt.
I was told to have a protein with a carb for better glucose control.
For example, A slice a cheese with a cracker.
Hope this helps.
It's not so much eating the protein as it is the fat. Fat is what slows carb absorption the best, but can elevate basal blood sugars for days, even a week.
If you want to drop morning blood sugars, try drinking 1/2 gallon of water at bedtime. Make sure the nite lite is on LOL. I managed to get my morning numbers down to under 90 when I wasn't using insulin. Not, it ranges from 100 to 130 ( sigh )
You could also eat lighter at dinner time and exercise a bit before bedtime.
Huh, I will try the water! oh, uh, the exercise could be fun too! Giggle!
I would definetley have to have the nite light on or sleep in the bathroom . Lol !
Thank u . I like this nd all the other to .
Watch out with that one…we don't want to kick the bucket to soon! LOL :->
Hey Ms. Julie…so far you are the only one that got what I said! I was just trying to lift up spirits! LOL Oh Man, I'm on a roll, huh? LMBO
Believe me I have my down days, that's for sure! But I am feeling pretty good at the moment! :->
So far my numbers haven't dropped below 90 so haven't had to deal with extreme lows, but what do you suggest as a replacement for the peanuts - (I have an allergy problems with them)?
Next Discussion: Embarresed!!!! »

British import, Tommy Searle, showed up to celebrate our country's feast of feasts and enjoy one of his first rides aboard his new MDK/KTM factory ride. Tommy just finished second overall in the MX2 World GP series and had a stellar ride in front of his fellow countrymen at the Motocross of Nations. For 2009, the young rider has moved to the United States, but will be skipping supercross to focus on the AMA Outdoor Nationals this coming summer. Guests of the Ride Day got a chance to see Tommy spin some of his first laps here on American soil. Check out some of his photos, and check back later for some video footage of our Thanksgiving celebration.

Keywords: Blood system management, simulation, logistics, inventory modelling
Canadian Blood Services (CBS) has developed a consolidation plan for blood component production, distribution and support functions for the Maritime Region of Atlantic Canada to be located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Once consolidated, blood products for New Brunswick hospitals will be distributed from the new Dartmouth production facility either directly or via a stock holding unit (SHU) located in Saint John, New Brunswick. A number of stakeholders have expressed concern about the timeliness of deliveries from Dartmouth to either Saint John or to hospitals in the north-east and north-west of New Brunswick. However, CBS has committed to a standard of service under the new network that is at least as good as that of the existing network.
The current logistics distribution network for blood and blood products to New Brunswick hospitals uses ground distribution from the Saint John facility for regularly scheduled runs, as well as ad hoc and emergency deliveries to hospitals. The proposed logistics infrastructure, once consolidation of production activities to the new Dartmouth facility has occurred, will utilize existing modes of ground transportation as well as air deliveries for hospitals in north-east and north-west New Brunswick. CBS will service some New Brunswick hospitals from the Dartmouth facility or the Saint John stock holding unit. Transport of raw and finished products between Dartmouth and Saint John will be provided by a dedicated CBS ground transport service.
This papers describes the results of a simulation experiment to evaluate and compare expected service levels for customers supported through Saint John under the "current" and "to be" distribution networks.
There is a rich literature describing the application of simulation to blood centres and hospital blood banks (see for example Katsaliaki and Brailsford (2007)). However, we believe that this is the first time simulation has been specifically used to evaluate the impact of network logistics on customer service levels in a blood supply chain.
A simulation model of the Saint John facility was constructed in Rockwell Arena Version 13. The simulation was designed to model the "current" situation where collections are processed at Saint John as well as the "to be" situation where collections are processed at the proposed Dartmouth facility and delivered to Saint John via ground transport. The simulation model is able to reproduce processes of inventory management: collections, testing, end-labelling, and distribution and to represent order arrivals, order backlogs, and order completion and dispatch. An MS-Access database is used to simulate the CBS production database and to track the physical location and status of all units in the simulation model.
System performance metrics (order fill time and outdate rates) were recorded for both the current and proposed distribution networks using the simulation model as a test platform. A comparison of means tests (α = 0.05) indicates that the proposed network has performance metrics that meet, or exceed, those of the existing network.
Levels of customer service experienced by NB hospitals will not be degraded by consolidation of production and support facilities in Dartmouth.

MetaTrader 4, commonly nicknamed MT4, is a widely used electronic trading platform for retail foreign exchange, developed by the Russian software company MetaQuotes Software Corp, which is currently licensing the MT4 software to almost 500 brokers and banks worldwide. Released in 2005, the MT4 trading software became extremely popular with retail forex traders especially for its easy to use features and the ability to even facilitate automated trading by allowing users to write their own trading scripts and trading robots (commonly known as expert advisors). For most online traders and investors, whether they are trading forex or CFDs (Contracts for Difference on various financial instruments), MetaTrader 4, is undoubtedly a household name today.
Not only is MT4 considered to be the most popular online trading platform to access the global markets but it is also regarded as the most efficient software for retail foreign exchange trading (i.e. especially developed for individual online traders). Online (or electronic) trading platforms are computer-based software programs used to place trading orders for various financial instruments through a network with financial institutions (e.g. brokerage companies) that operate as financial intermediaries (i.e. facilitate online transactions between buyers and sellers by executing their trades). Online investors can trade on live market prices being streamed by trading platforms, as well as enhance their profit potential with some additional trading tools provided by these platforms such as trading account management, live news feeds, charting packages and can even use trading robots, also called expert advisors.
As compared with today's online trading platforms used for trading a series of financial instruments such as currencies, equities, bonds, futures and options, the very first such software versions were almost exclusively associated with stock exchange. Until the 1970s, financial transactions between brokers and their counterparties were still being processed manually, and traders did not have the possibility to access the global financial markets directly but only through an intermediary. It was also was during this time that electronic trading platforms started being applied to carry out at least a part of these transactions. The first such platforms were mainly used for stock exchange and known as RFQ (request for quote) systems, in which clients and brokers placed orders that were only confirmed later. Starting from the 1970s, e-trading platforms that did not provide live streaming prices were gradually replaced by more developed software with near instant execution of orders, along with live price streaming and more enhanced client user interface.
The very first generation of internet-based foreign exchange (forex) trading platforms emerged in 1996, making it possible for foreign exchange to develop at a much faster pace and for customer markets to expand. As a result, web-based retail foreign exchange allowed individual customers to access the global markets and trade on currencies directly from their own computers. Although the first generation of such electronic trading platforms was basic software downloadable to computers and still lacking user-friendly interfaces, gradually new features such as technical analysis and charting tools were added, resulting in more enhanced attributes and also the option for these programs to be used as web-based platforms and on mobile devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) compatible with automated tools such as trading robots.
Along with the introduction of online trading platforms, a rapidly growing segment of the foreign exchange market had also emerged, which involved individuals who could access the global markets and trade online through brokers and banks: retail forex. This market segment allowed even small investors to access the markets and trade with smaller amounts. The demand for technically more sophisticated trading platforms kept growing, in particular for retail forex trading, and the need grew for individuals to trade the global markets directly. Released in 2005, the MetaTrader 4 online trading platform was just the kind of software that made it possible for a great number of retail forex traders to speculate and invest in currency exchange and other financial instruments from virtually every spot of the world.
Currently, over half a million retail traders are using the MT4 platform in their daily trading practices, benefitting from its wide range of features that facilitate their investment decisions such as automated trading, mobile trading, one-click trading, news feed streaming, built-in custom indicators, the ability to handle a vast number of orders, an impressive number of indicators and charting tools. Suitable for both beginner and seasoned traders with versatile investment skills and practices, MT4 can be regarded today's ultimate trading software in virtually every spot of the globe.
Automated trading is well known to online investors as a helpful tool to automatically process trade orders with extremely fast reaction time and according to a series of pre-determined trading rules (such as entries and exits) set up by traders by using the MQL programming language of MetaTrader4. Also known by the name of system trading, automated trading has another great advantage: as it carries out trades mechanically and based on the settings of traders, it excludes the emotional factor from trading, which may very often affect investment decisions negatively. Thus it has the ability to handle trading on investors' behalf, along with all the analytical processes involved in the trading process.
The cutting-edge technology of the MT4 platform provides automated trading as its fully integrated feature, executing repetitive trading orders at a speed otherwise impossible with manual trading. For many investors this saves up a considerable amount of time from the routine of market watch as well as trade execution.
Backtesting (i.e. testing trading strategies on prior time periods) is yet another advantage of automated trading in that it applies trading rules to historical market data and so it helps investors assess the efficiency of several trading ideas. On applying proper backtesting, traders can easily evaluate and fine-tune trading ideas, which they can later apply in their own trading practices for better results. Effective as it is, automated trading is also a sophisticated method to trade the markets and as such it, mainly for beginner traders, it is advisable to start with small sizes during the learning process.
Additionally, potential mechanical failures can also affect the outcome of trades carried out by the automated system, and many traders with poor internet connection are compelled to also manually monitor trades being handled by automated trading. In order to exclude any negative factors such as slow internet connectivity, computer failures, or unexpected power cuts, the optical fibre connectivity based free MT4 VPS (Virtual Private Server) service of XM ensures smooth operations of automated trading and expert advisors at all times by allowing clients to connect to the MT4 VPS and enjoy seamless trading.
Automated trading is undoubtedly one of the most popular features of MetaTrader 4. It is remarkable data in itself that since 2014, over 75% of the United States stock share trades, including NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange, have been carried out through automated trading system orders. The fact that today automated trading on the MT4 software is also available for retail traders and investors is a huge plus, allowing trading not only on stocks but also on foreign exchange (forex), futures and options. The MT4 platform uses MQL4, a proprietary scripting language for implementing trading strategies, which helps traders to develop their own expert advisors (i.e. trading robots), custom indicators and scripts, as well as to test and optimize their EAs with the MT4 strategy tester.
MQL4 encompasses a great number of functions that enable traders to analyse previously received and current quotes, follow price changes by means of built-in technical indicators and not just manage but continuously control their trading orders. Over 30 custom technical indicators are at traders' disposal on the MT4 software and available on various financial instruments besides forex, which helps investors identify price dynamics patters, market trends and also to determine possible entry and exit points, as well as to manage trading signals.
The trading programs written in the MQL4 programming language serve different purposes and present traders with various features. Expert advisors, which are linked to specific charts, provide valuable information to online investors about possible trades and can also perform trades on their behalf, sending the orders directly to the trading server. Along with this, by using MQL4, investors can write their own custom indicators and use them in addition to those already available on the MT4 client terminal. MQL4 also includes scripts, but unlike expert advisors, these do not execute any pre-determined action on traders' behalf and are meant to handle the single execution of certain trading activities.
MetaTrader4 was designed by taking into account all the requirements of the 21st century technology and thus it ensures flexibility at its very best, the core of this being mobility. This is exactly why the MT4 mobile trading option allows investors to also access the trading platform, apart from their Windows and Mac operating system based PCs, directly from their smartphones and tablets. Trading portfolio as well as multiple trading account management and/or monitoring is thus possible practically speaking on the go. Having the ability to manage multiple trading accounts from one interface and from portable devices like smartphones, pocket and tablet PCs gives investors a definite edge in trading, while the software's compatibility with the IOS operating system allows Mac users to follow up with market changes 24 hours a day and place trades directly from iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
The MT4 mobile trading makes it extremely easy for online investors to follow the global markets at any time and from anywhere, place and execute orders instantly and of course manage their accounts even when away from their home PCs. Additionally, mobile trading also provides a wide array of analytical options and the graphical display of quotes for proper account management. Since the MT4 mobile trading options are exactly the same for smartphones and tablets as for trading from table PCs, online investors can perform their trading activities at the same speed and with the same trading tools for best results.

Christophe Coin was a student of Harnoncourt & Savall & is the cellist in Quatuor Mosaïques. This is the only Bach from him I've heard & it's excellent.
The violoncello piccolo Coin plays is richly-toned, and sings out during arias, accompanying the solo voice. Bach scores the vc piccolo with each of soprano, alto, tenor & bass soloists at one time or another, so there's interesting variety.
The entire ensemble is placed up in an organ loft flanking the organ & microphoned from below, affording an unusual sound & some fun stereo effects. The fine Silbermann organ used throughout is tuned at a'=460, but the organist transposes down a tone. Coin cites that this was common practice in JSB's days.
Another interesting feature of the set is use of male countertenor Andreas Scholl as alto soloist. He's outstanding.
There's enough variety, in the music and in the unusual period instruments used, I suggest getting the 3 CD set if you can, rather than picking through the CDs individually. Warning: there are authentic period brass instruments used in a couple of tracks. These instruments have intonation problems.

The new year always brings a sense of a clean slate and the opportunity to start afresh. While some people avoid making drastic promises they are inclined to break, it's not a bad idea to consider some resolutions that could improve your business operations in the new year.
If you want to make commitments that will actually make you a better, more profitable business owner, these might be some resolutions worth considering:
Know Your Numbers
If you've ever watched an episode of the Profit, you'll find that most of the small business owners profiled are shocked to find out the amount of debt they have or how short their cash flow is from month to month. In order to make decisions that will improve your business, you'll have to know the true state of your business affairs. Resolve to know your numbers, keep them updated and make steps to improve them as needed.
Be More Goal Oriented
Being in business for the sake of being in business is an exercise in futility. A business that doesn't grow, turn a profit or reach milestones is doomed for failure. Goals should be pertinent to your business model and move toward improving and scaling business operations. Though key performance indicators (KPIs) will be different for each industry, the nuts and bolts should come down to sales, profits and how the numbers should be consistently improving. The beginning of the year is a great time to set goals that you'll track throughout the year to gage your business progress.
Be More Strategic
Creating business goals will take you far, but they have to be followed by a plan. Aiming for a million dollars in sales isn't enough; there has to be a strategy and a plan to back that goal. A great method for planning is to work backwards from your goals until you reach actionable steps. If you are not trending towards your goals based on these steps, it's time rework your goals, business plan or your strategy. Resolve to be strategic about your business growth with a plan that backs up your goals.
Be Ready for Bigger Risks
Positioning yourself to take bigger risks is a must for business growth. This doesn't mean you have to always have a pile of cash around (but that is a great start) to take advantage of opportunities that may improve your business. Positioning a business for growth can include things like hiring more staff or expanding a product line. Even consider creating systems that operate in your absence so you can turn your attention to areas of the business that will bring the greatest ROI. Resolve not to be risk-averse when it counts!
Have a Better Work Life Balance
A small business owner often wears many hats causing them to feel like the day is never done. Studies show that having working too many hours drastically decreases productivity and can even lead to health problems. This year, resolve to create a work schedule that will benefit both you and your business.
You may not be able to stick with every resolution suggested here, but not to worry. You'd still do well to make one or two of them to start. Once your resolutions become good business habits, move on to the next and keep going until you are satisfied with your results.

* What Should I Do With Leftover Halloween Candy?
This year was a bumper crop year
for halloween candy in our neighborhood.
The neighbors were all extremely generous with fist-fulls of candy
for the kids this year. I'm guessing they were all sick of it
after eating candy all weekend during the hurricane!
So what do you do with too much candy?
Well, in our house we're planning to distribute it in a few different ways...
1. I'm letting the girls pick a piece out each morning to eat after
breakfast and a piece to pack in their school lunch as a dessert.
After a week or so, the candy bowl will magically disappear.
2. Our dentist offers to "buy back" candy
from kids then she ships it
oversees to soldiers serving in the armed services.
The girls have an appointment next week so we'll be bringing
a bag of cavity-inducing goodness with us.
3. We pull out a bunch of colorful candy that looks great on
gingerbread houses
and save it in a shoe box for our holiday crafting at the beginning of December.
We save things like Starburst, Now And Laters, Gum Drops,
Gummy Fish, M&Ms, Lemon Heads, Lollipops, etc.
4. I ask the girls to each pick out 25 pieces of candy
(x2 kids = that's 50 pieces gone in our house)
to squirrel away into their advent calendar for December.
That's what works for our house.
It's much better than a giant bowl sitting around tempting me for weeks on end.
Do you have any favorite halloween candy tricks?

Sticking straight up in the snow.
At first I thought it was a huge toadstool (and how did this grow up through packed snow?), whose head had somehow been turned to face me.
I picked up the Anubian Ambassador so she would not be tempted to gobble up the Mystery.
On closer inspection, it was clear what we were seeing: a bagel.
Pennies from heaven? I haven't been able to figure out how it got there. There were no footprints (or paw prints) around it. The back yard is fenced off and it's a tall fence.
My guess is that a bird dropped it. We have a Bruggers maybe a half mile from home to the north, and a Cub Foods about a half mile to the south.
But it could have been the Nexialist casting Bread Torus.
Bread Torus (Evocation, Cost, Per Scene): During the Nexialist Revolt, this formula sustained the besieged defenders of Nexialist Institutes. It became one of the 12 essential proofs of the "Miraculous Materialism" that undergirds the Nexialist tradition.
Bread Torus manifests as one or more dense white rings of a breadlike substance. One bread torus can sustain a person for a day. Sometimes also called a "carbohydrate brick", bread tori putrefy remarkably slowly compared to other bread substances. If left at room temperature for several days, however, a torus may become a knife-breaker or tooth-chipper.
The caster rolls WIS +2 to manifest Bread Torus. The number appearing is equal to the effort rolled.

I did make a small change to the piece of candy on the left hand side. It didn't seem very symmetrical to me. Call me crazy ;o)
Now I have to wait the rest of the month before I can continue :o(
As I write this, I'm in New Brunswick with my parents. I took the ferry from NS yesterday and they picked me up on the other side. My mom is throwing me a baby shower tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to seeing my friends, some of which I haven't seen since we moved to NS!
Junior is doing well, much better than his mother. It seems that I'm not as sea worthy as I was before I was pregnant :oS All I can say is that I'm glad it was a calm crossing because otherwise I might have spent the whole time in the bathroom. LOL!

For some teenagers, vacation weeks are the highlight of the school year! Spring break is the perfect time for teens to get away from class work for a little while and have some fun. While teenagers may not be able to experience the same kind of spring break vacations as college students, they still have plenty of options. They can spend time with friends or family or both. Parents should help their teens develop safe but enjoyable spring break plans to make the most of their week off from school.
San Diego
Many teens want to relax in warmer weather during spring break. San Diego, California, can be the perfect destination for families with teenagers who can't wait to hit the beach. San Diego temperatures tend to be pleasant year-round. According to SanDiego.org, the city has many budget-conscious hotels and dining options as well as iconic vacation spots like Coronado and La Jolla. Most San Diego hotels have programs for children of all ages, making it easy for teens to find plenty of activities to keep them busy when they're not riding the waves. Programs may include video games, crafts or sports lessons and may even be complimentary. In a Parents Magazine article called "Best Beach Resorts for Families," Karen Cicero recommends Loews Coronado Bay Beach Resort and Spa. Close to Silver Strand Beach, this resort offers a range of family activities such as cooking lessons, animal presentations and family movies.
Atlantis Resort
If you take a family vacation during spring break, Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island, Bahamas is an exciting, luxurious spot. The resort is expensive, but has numerous activities for people of all ages. You can feel safe allowing your teen(s) to wander off, hang out at the pools, enjoy the water park, lie out at the beach or check out the aquariums. Atlantis also has a nightclub called Crush for teens ages 13 to 17 and tweens ages 9 to 13. The club has an Internet lounge, a gaming room and a live DJ. There is also a café that serves snacks and drinks. You will feel safe knowing that your teen is enjoying spring break nearby, and you can keep tabs on where he is and what he is doing while enjoying your own vacation, too!
Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is another popular spring break destination for families. Vacations here can be more affordable, especially if you choose an all-inclusive resort. The Travel Channel recommends Club Med Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic as one of the top 10 spring break destinations for families. This resort has oceanfront family suites and the Juniors Club Med, where teenagers can spend time participating in a variety of sports or just hanging out. The Club Med Passworld areas are designed for teenagers to experiment with high tech equipment in creative activities involving video and cinema.
New York City
Many families head to warmer or tropical destinations for spring break, but New York City can be just as much fun. In the spring, the weather is often perfect for walking the streets of Manhattan and doing some sightseeing. In the article "10 Best Spring Break Spots for Families," Family Vacation Critic reminds us that spring break does not have to center around beaches. New York has many museums, landmarks, restaurants, parks, shopping and sports to enjoy. For teens who live in small or suburban towns, Manhattan can be an exhilarating change of scenery and a chance to explore new stores and foods. They can even take some pictures in famous locations. Like in any big city, parents should review safety rules with their teens before allowing them to wander off on their own.

Teachers Column
West Virginia teachers are being accused of looking a gift horse in the mouth. Citing the state's commitment to public education, Gov. Gaston Caperton proposed a $500 pay raise for all public school teachers during his State of the State Address last month.
But when a teachers' group representative responded by panning, rather than praising, the governor's proposal, one Democratic lawmaker launched a counterattack against teachers' "arrogant, self-centered greed."
The flap began when Judy Hale, the president of the 5,000-member West Virginia Federation of Teachers, told reporters that the Democratic governor's proposed pay raise was "insulting," given that West Virginia teachers lag $5,000 below the national average for teachers' salaries.
"Because we are at the bottom, we wanted a three-year pay package that would move us closer to the top," Ms. Hale said. Teachers had no pay raise last year, she added.
Bruce N. Petersen, a Democratic state delegate, responded on the House floor with an unusually strong rebuke of Ms. Hale. He said the governor had made a massive commitment of dollars to public education over his career. And he said teachers were fortunate to receive any pay raise while other services such as health care were suffering cutbacks.
"I called her on her choice of words," Mr. Petersen later said in an interview.
Teachers' union representatives have since turned their attention to the proposed "rule of 80," under which teachers could retire when their age plus years of service equal 80. The Senate pensions committee is expected to meet on teachers' pension issues in coming weeks.
"If we are able to get the rule of 80, I think that the teachers would feel happier with the $500 pay increase," Ms. Hale said.
All the classroom's a stage, two instructors argue in a new book.
Basic acting skills can help a teacher better communicate information, say co-authors Cathy Sargent Mester, a lecturer in speech communication, and Robert T. Tauber, a professor of education, at Pennsylvania State University in Erie, Pa.
Their book, Acting Lessons for Teachers: Using Performance Skills in the Classroom, shows teachers how to develop an effective stage presence by using voice projection and intonation. Teachers can learn other tricks of the acting trade, such as enunciating without sounding pedantic and matching brisk delivery with decisive body movements.
The book is available for $16.95 from Greenwood Press. Call (800) 225-5800 and refer to ISBN 0-275-94824-2.

Oriental hornbeam #45
Oriental hornbeam, Carpinus orientalis, collected in Croatia in 2013. Thomas and I brought the tree to a further state today. The huge wounds were carved, most were deeply hollowed. This will NOT harm the tree at all - believe me. Now the hornbeam will rest and get a second flush of growth. This will be cut by middele of June. The a third flush will be cut by beginning of August. In March of 2015 the whole tree will be wired in detail. In March/April of 2016 it will be planted into the final container.

Piper's Archer DX Diesel
Piper chose the Aero show two weeks ago to unveil it�s new diesel-powered Archer DX for good reason. The work on the conversion was done at Continental/Technify�s skunk works at the Altenburg airport, a former East German military base where Thielert did all of the original test flying for its initial certification of the Centurion line. Further, as Piper�s Simon Caldecott said in this video interview, Piper, rightly, sees the DX as more world airplane than a U.S. airplane.
After the close of Aero, I took a brief flight demo in the DX with Piper�s Dave Athay to collect some performance data. As with all of the diesel conversions, the DX performed about as I expected or maybe a little better in cruise.
The DX has the 155-HP Centurion 2.0s; same basic engine as the 2.0, but with a tweaked ECU to deliver the higher power. For now, it has a 1200-hour TBR and a 600-hour gearbox replacement requirement. Although it concedes that the TBR needs to be raised, Continental insists the economics work at 1200 hours. More on that later.
According to the DX�s draft POH and what performance observations I could make, the DX requires a little more runway for takeoff�918 feet (280 m) against about 800 (244 m) for the Lycoming-powered version. That�s at gross weight, sea level on a standard day with 25-degrees flaps, which the DX POH recommends. The diesel climbs a little slower; the POH says 737 feet initial, compared to 775 for the gasoline version. But I�d like to see a little more flight data on that.
But the comparison between the two is not straightforward and flightschools considering one will want to put a sharp pencil on their own numbers from a gasoline trainer against the diesel numbers. For example, although the DX initially climbs slower than the Lycoming Archer, it catches up at higher altitudes because the diesel is turbocharged. In time/fuel/distance to climb, the two are close. The DX gets to 8000 feet in 11.2 minutes and flies 16.3 miles on 1.8 gallons. The gasoline Archer gets there a half minute sooner at about the same downrange distance, but requires 2.2 gallons.
Cruise comparisons are muddier.�Do you compare them as equivalent horsepower? Percentage power? Or money burned? Using equivalent horsepower, the relevant metric is speed and fuel burn. Seventy percent power in the DX is 108 HP. But for the gasoline version�remember, it has 180 HP�108 HP is 60 percent power. Comparing the two at those power settings, the DX will deliver 112 knots on 5.8 GPH, the gasoline Archer 114 knots on about 8.4 GPH. At higher power settings, the fuel consumption difference can be greater than 4 GPH. The higher you go, the more advantage the DX has, in speed, if not fuel burn delta, since the Lycoming necessarily burns less the higher it goes because it�s making less power. I saw 126 knots TAS at about 80 percent power at 6000 feet, which was as high as we could get, due to cloud cover. That was on about 6.2 GPH. The Lycoming Archer POH says it will do that �speed at 85 percent power on 10.5 GPH.
I wonder if flightschools might change their training doctrine a little to accommodate the fact that diesels climb slower at pattern altitudes. I noticed this in the Redhawk conversion and it�s true in the DX as well. If I were grinding out landings in the pattern, I might prefer the gasoline model or, in the diesel, simply not climb to 1000 AGL for the downwind. There�s no particular need to do that. (In the Cub, I�m thrilled to make 400 feet.)
Proving once again that flying is hours of sheer terror interrupted by moments of profound stupidity, I found the means to test the carefully considered cert protocol for the Centurion. The Centurions use common-rail injection, returning fuel to the tanks from the pressure side. Dave Athay noted that the G1000 tracks tank temperature and sure enough, the left tank we were running on was warmer than the right. So Athay asked me to switch. Somehow, I managed to get the fuel switch to off briefly, before getting it on the right tank and feeding again. The engine sputtered and resumed running, just like a Lycoming would.
Well, not exactly. Two warning lights came on announcing both ECUs had failed. Obviously, they had not, otherwise we�d have been gliding. What we were seeing was evidence of the Centurion�s automotive DNA�the equivalent of a check-engine light. In the car, the ECU might very happily shut the engine down to protect the pumps and injectors from a low fuel-flow condition, but that logic would never get through aircraft engine certification. So the ECUs stay alive, but the fail lights serve as a fault indicator to check the high pressure pump and reset the codes, which the Tecnify techs did. (CORRECTION 4/30/14: The fault lights can be cleared inflight by holding down the FADEC button for three seconds.)
While the fuel valve is a little different than the gasoline Archer because the fuel system is also different, I don�t think it�s a bad design. My error was just due to simple carelessness, even if I caught it immediately. (The switch has an interlock pin to off; I don�t recall pulling it, but I sure as hell must have.) Interestingly, the software has two layers of warning for low fuel. The first is a yellow low-tank warning light, the second a low rail-pressure warning light. Both of these assume a tank just running dry, not actually switching the fuel off, because no one would ever do that. The POH probably needs a limitation restricting journalists operating three video cameras and a notebook from touching the controls.
Besides paying closer attention to tank switching, this also serves as a reminder that diesel engines�at least the Centurion�deliver impressive economy at the price of complexity, expense and if not the same robustness as a gasoline engine, a different kind of robustness. There�s no free ride here. In any device run by software, there are always surprises, as Diamond found out when both Centurions on a DA42 quit because of an unforeseen power interruption to the ECUs caused by a flat main battery.
My initial analysis of the DX�s operating costs�independent of capital costs--show that it�s not a player for the U.S. market in lower operating costs, which Piper concedes. But in Europe, where avgas costs $10 to $12 and Jet A is around $7, the DX looks attractive, even at a 1200-hour TBO. On paper, it appears capable of direct, engine-only operating costs of about $88 an hour, versus $112 for the gasoline Archer. At higher TBRs, the cost difference increases to nearly $50 an hour.
But here again, the Centurion�s automotive DNA intercedes. Back in the beginning, Thielert struck a deal with regulators to enhance safety by replacing gearboxes at low hourly intervals. It made sense then. But 12 years later, the restriction lives on. On an hourly basis, the 600-hour, $6948 gearbox replacement package is, of itself, more expensive than the hourly cost of an entire Lycoming O-360 overhaul. I can�t help but wonder if what was prudent conservatism in the beginning is now just regulatory inertia. Might those gearboxes really be good for twice as many hours or maybe even the life of the engine? If that�s true, the Centurion�s economics appear incrementally better.�
Whether Continental got a good deal on its purchase of the former Thielert Aircraft Engine assets is, at this point, an unknown. It really depends on how rapidly they convince OEMs to adopt the Centurion line and how lively the conversion market becomes. Just as a datapoint, Thielert did about 270 conversions of Cessna 172s and Piper Warriors, plus some Robins, between the time the engine was available for STCs (about 2003) and 2008, when the company became insolvent. Call that about 50 aircraft a year, just to round it off. In some ways, the early STC work by Thielert was the smartest thing the company did.
During roughly the same period, but including the years after the bankruptcy, Diamond built about 600 DA42 twins and another 400 DA40 singles. Given current market conditions, that�s none too shabby. But the market has evolved since then, so demand is an unknown.
Of late, Piper has been on a tear with the Archer. It sold 48 Archer IIIs in 2013, making the PA-28-181 the hottest selling airframe in the Piper line, a position it hasn�t occupied for years. Caldecott believes that rather than cannibalizing the Lycoming-variant, the diesel model will open new markets where Piper couldn�t gain a foothold before. That will be Europe, Asia and probably Africa at some point, largely for a training market where avgas won�t be available, if it isn�t already.
The airplane will live or die on operating costs; not payload, not performance and certainly not as a cheaper mousetrap, although Piper says the Archer DX, at $400,000, will sell for just under what the Cessna 172 SP does now. I haven�t crunched the full number set yet, but the flight data I collected confirms that the airplane does burn about 3 to 4 GPH less than the gasoline version in typical operations or about a third less in block-to-block fuel burn.�
As with the DA42 and DA40, the real measure of the DX will be after a half dozen are out in the training world for a year. We�ll then see how robust the 2.0s is and how the long-term numbers play out. Piper has taken a measured risk on this project. It�s not a new cert project and I don�t think it was a particularly expensive STC to develop. It�s nothing like the risk Diamond took with the DA42. Either way, risk doesn�t define success; sales do. General aviation has been known to both reward and punish boldness.

Happy Aloha Friday, Everyone!
Any plans? If the weather is clear, I'm going to try and get some Milky Way pictures. Here's my last attempt:
The colors came out but hoooo, da blurry (my pidgin is atrocious)….Last time, I forgot my remote. I had to hold it open for 3 minutes by pushing the trigger. So imagine this: It's 50 something degrees on the mountain, it is windy and I am shivering….I have my finger on my camera…. *sigh* Camera shake was inevitable. Oh well, it was a good test run.
Do you guys take night pictures as well? It's actually a bit hard to take pictures like this on Oahu—the light pollution from the city is ridiculous in some areas. I have to go to the other side of the island, practically.
If night pictures aren't in the schedule, I guess sunrise/sunset works just as well? Here's a shot I got last time:
It's so beautiful up there! And yes—we did throw that hard packed snow at each other. Haha! Have a great weekend, everyone!

This is not the way I intended to do this.
For the first time since July 14 of last year, I did not have a post on a weekday yesterday.
I had been intending to continue The Streak until I hit the one-year mark. Oddly, that might have resulted in extending the streak into at least September and possibly (after college football season) December, because of at least one project I have in the works.
Honestly, after abandoning webcomics posts for March on the grounds I needed the time to work on a paper, I've been completely procrastinating. I spent most of yesterday sleeping, watched more TV than I should have or planned to, went out for a while and had no place to really use the Internet (nor, for the most part, did it cross my mind to), and used the last few hours of the official Tuesday playing games rather than at least work on the paper. Really, the paper's barely started and I'm going to need a three-day blitz to write... eight pages? I hit a research bottleneck where I had to go running around for books to cite to make the point I intended to make (by not being what it calls an "indiscriminate collection of information" Wikipedia may actually be hindering the Web's potential as a repository of all knowledge by attracting too many queries for it to itself) and that's been taking up a lot of time I could use actually working on the paper.
(For the sort of research I want to use not just for this paper, but spending much of my life doing, I have a feeling I'll need a lot of money for books... and I STILL don't have a real job...)
I may well start a new streak with this post anyway - I have posts planned for the remainder of the week and may try to get a second post out today.

Here's the thing: that's not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to pull insight from one field into another, and I'm looking for the general consensus in that field, not one guy's opinion. That means I'm poring over textbooks and "For Dummies" books, not research papers. (I'm looking through anthropology textbooks for a political science course.)
