From the RRAN WA website:
Refugee Rights Action Network (RRAN) is a political activists group who believes that asylum seekers should not be held in detention centres but welcomed into the community. We criticise the Australian government for its inhumane treatment of asylum seekers.
RRAN does a variety of work to try and reveal the many problems of mandatory detention. We host bus trips to remote detention centres to allow people to visit asylum seekers and to breach the out of sight, out of mind ideology behind their placement in remote desert areas and to show the people inside that there are people in the Australian community who care about them.
Another project we undertake is fundraising to send dictionaries to asylum seekers in detention as they are not necessarily provided to them already and they often do not have full access to them.
The other component of our work is to leak to the media what is going on inside to make sure there is transparency both in the government and in SERCO, the private corporation that runs the centres.
If you have information from inside detention please contact us via our 'contact us' tab.
If you are a refugee in detention and would like a dictionary please email us your name, ID number and centre via the contact us page.

The University of Alabama recently tested a prototype, closed-loop electronic fuel injection system piece for portable generators that reduces carbon monoxide emissions significantly, as much as 90% or more when compared to traditional generators.
These types of generators are often used for traveling in RVs or RV trailers, camping, after an emergency or significant storm, or anytime the power is out for an extended period of time.
Do You Have to Buy a New Generator?
If you۪'ve been safely using your generator, you might wonder if you۪'ll have to buy a new one, but irf this makes it to retail as tested, you won۪t! According to the study, portable generators were retrofitted with the new component and outperformed their unmodified counterparts in terms of emissions, a promising result for the creators and generator owners alike!

More from the Beddington FOI
Here is another interesting document from the Beddington FOI I mentioned last week.
This was sent in February 2010 when the furore over Climategate was still at its peak and before the inquiries got under way. It consists of a summary of the science of global warming sent to Beddington by Julia Slingo, the chief scientist at the Met Office. Slingo, you may remember, later appeared at the SciTech committee hearings alongside Beddington.
What is interesting about Slingo's take on climate science is all the statements of statistical significance she makes:
For the last 3 decades the rate of temperature increase is significant even when uncertainties in the observations are factored in (Fig. 3).
Every year since 1998 (in fact every single year for the past three decades) has been significantly warmer than the temperatures you'd expect if there was no warming [baseline of 1861-1900]. The last ten years have all been among the 15 warmest in the historical record ; it is just that these years have not been quite as warm as 1998.
From the 1980s onwards each decade has been significantly warmer than the previous decade.
The overwhelming majority of leading climate scientists agree on the fundamentals - that the Earth is definitely warming
As readers here know, the claims of statistical significance in the global temperature records are based on an assumption that the Earth's temperature can be approximated by the AR1 statistical model, an assumption that can apparently be readily shown to be incorrect. As Doug Keenan points out in an email, Slingo's final claim - that the overwhelming majority of leading climate scientists agree that the Earth is definitely warming - is 'technically true, but irrelevant if none of those scientists knows how to determine whether such warming is significant'.
What is so frustrating about this is that the question of model selection for the temperature records doesn't appear to be a particularly abstruse bit of statistics, as this excerpt from an undergraduate textbook on time series analysis shows (see also here):
So I must confess that I am a little mystified as to why the AR1 assumption is made. Nobody seems willing to say anything in favour of it, but nobody within the climate science or statistical mainstream seems willing to say it's wrong.

Bottle Green Pelisse
While searching for images of Regency era hats and parasols, I came across this GORGEOUS fashion plate. I haven't a clue where I got it from, as I was busy chasing images down various rabbit holes and lost track of the source. I'm guessing it's from around 1799 - 1801. This particular fashion plate really stands out to me for several reason. First of all, I love that the model isn't just standing around in her clothes, but rather she is putting on the pelisse. Secondly, I really can't stop staring at the vivid color over-all and the scalloped hem at the bottom. The asymmetrical bodice design intrigues me, as does that amazing collar.
All this being said, I wanted to share this lovely fashion plate with you, and hint at a possible future project. Remember how I said in this post that I would love to make something in an olive or bottle green color? Well.....I think I've found it. Of course, I'm trying not to spend any unnecessary amount of money on myself this year. So, this will probably be put on the back shelf for awhile. But, next year will be here before I know it.
I absolutely love having a dream project in mind. This year was the white Tidens Toj gown. Next year...the bottle green pelisse! Do you, or have you ever, had a sort of piece de resistance type of project that inspires you?

"Stabilizing The Earth, One Project at a Time"
TIEBACKS very similar to tiedowns, can
be installed in virtually any ground condition using rotary,
percussion or down-the-hole hammer tooling. The critical
design elements are the capacity (Kips), length of unbonded
zone, corrosion protection (Class I or II or none), grout
cover (usually 1/2"), and testing specs. If the project is a
performance spec (meaning the contractor takes responsibility
for the performance), the contractor will design those
elements related to performance (i.e. bonding length,
diameter and other variables). and provide a shop drawing.
The common elements of a tieback is the unbond zone (a free
stressing length),the bonded zone. Tiebacks have a central
element, the tendons (either rod or strand), grout to bond
the tendon to the soil or rock and an anchor head that bears
upon a steel plate and transfers the load to a concrete
washer, wall, beam etc. Tiebacks are all tested to some
safety factor beoynd the Design Load. (see Post Tension

Express Winemakers Great Southern Shiraz 2012
Its not the Armageddon but simply the edge of the world: Albany style deep in the SW of Western Australia. Its a great label represents exactly what the great south west is all about. Just a little bit of jingoistic pride.
The Express Winemakers Great Southern Shiraz 2012 is a new project (aren't they all these days) from two young bucks from out West, and if this is anything to go by, these two lads have a smokin hot future in front of them. So the wine...
Deep red in the glass, the wine takes a while in the glass to get going and when it does layers of slate, blackberry and black licorice waft up the nose. The palate is very chewy at first with fine grainy tannins with elements of black olive and soy/fish sauce at the back; that's a good flavour for me. Over all this wine was really singing in the glass on the second and third days. How that happened in my house is a serious head scratcher.
Drink with lasagne

If you're a frequent visitor, you've probably grown familiar with the cave-like image in our masthead. What you may not know is that the photo in the upper left of your screen is from the Cave Church, or St. Peter's Grotto in Antioch (now Antakya). It is believed to have been dug out by St. Peter himself and used as a place of worship by the early Christian community in Antioch. This would make it the very first Christian Church ever built.
Antioch, of course, became the primary center of the early church after the Christians were dispersed from Jerusalem by persecution. Connected by the Orentes River to the Mediterranean port of Pieria Seleucia, it quickly became a major center of planning and organization the missionary efforts throughout Asia Minor and beyond. Luke, the Evangelist, was a native of Antioch and Peter, Paul, Barnabus and others used it as both a jumping off place and a safe haven to which they could return between journeys.
The interior of the grotto is austere. Its few permanent items consist of a simple altar, a single statue, and a stone chair or seat. Deposits from years of seepage can be seen on the wall behind the altar. Some of the walls have the barely discernible remnants of ancient frescoes and the floor indicates traces of mosaics. Despite its simplicity, one can't look at the photo of the interior without being awed by the holiness it exudes.
The exterior stone façade of the church was built by Crusaders who identified the grotto during their rule of Antioch from 1098 to 1268. There is a tunnel in the back that leads into the mountain's interior. It is believed to have been used as a place of hiding during times of persecution.
As we learned in last week's post, Antioch has experienced many severe earthquakes over the centuries and the Turkish Government now restricts access to the Grotto Church because of seismic instability.

Spaghetti Periscope
by Edwin
Think spaghetti, and chances are you'll have flashbacks of that lovely little Italian restaurant tucked away in a corner somewhere, with smells of fresh oven-baked pizza wafting through the air in addition to a delectable plate of spaghetti in front of you. Not with this Spaghetti Periscope though.
'Q' has outdone himself with this one!! A Spaghettii box that brilliantly turns in to a periscope for seeing over the tops of walls or around corners. So clever – even we can't believe it! Suitable for 7 years and over.
Now that's a hell lotta exclamation marks to describe a product. You can pick up the non-edible Spaghetti Periscope for £7.94 after taxes. Something more subtle would have been better IMHO.

President Obama's has pledged to make companies using hydraulic fracturing to drill for natural gas disclose a list of chemicals used in their operations, and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar just announced today that those wells will also be subject to inspection after the fracking process. Salazar hinted that new fracking rules will be delivered in the coming weeks that are meant to ensure safety during fracking operations and protect drinking water. The pro-fracking community seems to think that such "common sense" safety measures are going to kill the natural gas industry. Considering its impact on the environment, we're not so sure that would be a bad thing.
Offshore oil rigs, onshore oil wells, and coal mines are already inspected on a regular basis by government officials, so it makes sense to lump natural gas companies into that pile. The gas industry seems to be steaming partially because Salazar has hinted that much of the financial burden of testing the fracking wells will fall on the gas companies themselves. If you ask us, that makes more sense than the government paying for their risky, destructive behavior.
"To me, those rules are common sense," Salazar said. "You have some people say that this will kill the natural gas industry — that's very far from the truth." Though these regulations won't put an end to the process of fracking — during which companies shoot a mix of sand, toxic chemicals, and water deep into shale rock below the Earth's surface to release reserves of natural gas — it is a step toward ensuring that our ground water remains drinkable. The new regulations, which will be revealed soon, will help to ensure that fracking wells aren't leaking toxic chemicals into underground aquifers used for drinking water.

City Council Will Begin Review Of Shoreline Master Program Next Month
Burien City Council members will begin review next month of an updated Shoreline Master Program.
And when lawmakers finish their work – perhaps before summer's end – there is a distinct possibility they won't spend as much time discussing any single provision of the controversial plan as they took on April 5 trying to decide when to begin reviewing it.
After a lengthy, oft-confusing discussion, lawmakers agreed to have on May 3 what Councilman Gordon Shaw, who requested such meeting, called a "Shoreline Master Program 101†session.
At this meeting, members are to receive from Community Development Department staff the draft Shoreline Management Program, including changes made to the plan by the Burien Planning Commission before it was forwarded to the council late last month.
In addition, council members will get a matrix of hundreds of comments from concerned shoreline residents along with any responding action by the planning commission, and will hear a background presentation on the issues, the process, and the legal and scientific definitions involved.
"We certainly are not negating all the hard work done by the planning commission,†declared Mayor Joan McGilton.
"But we are telling the community we heard your comments and are not simply taking the [planning commission's recommendations] and rubber stamping them, as easy as that would be,†she said, asking the community to "give us a chance to figure out what we're doing.â€
Community Development Department Director Scott Greenberg proposed a review process beginning with a special meeting on June 14 dedicated entirely to the Shoreline Management Program.
That meeting would be followed by:
- June 21 – the first of two public hearings.
- July 19 – a general discussion.
- Aug. 2 – a discussion and direction to city staff about revisions.
- Aug. 16 – the second public hearing.
- Aug. 31 – a special meeting for discussion followed by adoption of the city's updated Shoreline Management Program.
After the city signs off on its Shoreline Master Program, the Department of Ecology "then will take another three months to review it,†including holding its own public hearing in Burien, before giving the document final approval, Greenberg said.
When asked about timetable parameters, he added it is his "understanding that Burien has to have it done by Dec. 31 … Ecology will take as long as Ecology takes†in its final review process.
Although citizens had urged the city council to wait six months before taking up the Shoreline Management Plan and the Planning Commission, in turn, had recommended a two-month delay, McGilton objected.
"I don't like the idea of a hiatus in terms that this council thinks they can wait†to begin consideration of the document with its complex issues.
"I'm concerned that we have lots of things to do,†she said. This includes every council member reading every one of the public comments, the matrix for which takes more than 30 pages, and the "hundreds and hundreds of letters†from shoreline residents.
And concepts such as no net loss, setbacks and buffers, non-conforming uses, and ecological functions need to be understood.
Therefore, she argued, the council needs to begin its study sooner rather than later.
All council members agreed that holding an open discussion, which several residents urged in comments at the beginning of the meetings, is a good idea.
Such a discussion would allow members of the public to speak for more than the usual three minutes permitted by council rules, and would also allow for exchanges between the public and council members.
But, McGilton cautioned, "when communities start hiring attorneys to come to these meetings, it gives me pause. I realize that you are protecting your interests, but when attorneys are present I talk less freely.â€
Shaw – who noted he is reading the state Shoreline Management Act and related state administrative codes – urged restraint in considering shoreline rules. "Burien is not Seattle or Tacoma … or Des Moines with a marina,†he noted. "We don't have commercial uses on our waterfront.â€
When it comes to the nebulous concept of "no net loss,†he noted the city already has spent several million dollars to restore the south Seahurst Park beach and is planning to restore the nearshore habitat on the park's north beach.
"I think when we get through with this process, we will have a document Burien can be proud of. Burien [already] should be proud of its shoreline … we need to demonstrate a trust relationship with our citizens to do the right thing†to protect the residential shoreline in front of them.

If you lost your job, do you have enough savings to cover basic expenses at the federal poverty level for three months?
A new report released today by the Corporation for Enterprise Development found that 36 percent of Marylanders don't.
Among them are residents with income below the poverty line, which is defined as $23,050 for a family of four. But the report noted that 13 percent of households here earn $80,197 to $125,376 annually and don't have three month's worth of savings, either.
The report is published annually and ranks states on the financial security of their residents.
Overall, Maryland came in 21st — even though the state ranks near the bottom in poverty.
Maryland ranks 45th in the percentage of people behind at least 90 days on bills and credit card debt — the average is $13,06. We're No. 44 on the foreclosure rate and delinquent mortgage payments.
One bright spot: the state is No. 2 in education, with 37 percent of residents having at least a four-year degree.

After a car accident--an event he considers a prank gone bad--pop star, Hunter Kennedy is forced to hide out with his aunt in small-town Colorado. He's supposed to rest, heal his scars and attend high school in disguise until the press dies down. But he only wants to get back to work.
Worse, the girl who's been assigned to make him over into a geek is a major geek herself. Vere Roth is a chattering pixie, a blushing tornado and a complete social disaster. He's never met a girl who's never-been-kissed, believes in romance and thinks Hunter's a 'nice' guy.
Funny thing is...Hunter is nice around Vere because she's his first real friend. He also can't seem to stop sharing his secrets or keep her out of his heart. Knowing he'd never deserve a girl as sweet as Vere, he resigns himself to the friend zone, and helps his new bestie with her own makeover.
She tortures him daily for ridiculous guy advice on how to snag her life-long crush. A guy Hunter thinks is totally wrong for Vere, and sadly, one who has taken note of Vere's transformation.
When Vere asks her best friend for some kissing advice, Hunter can't resist...
And that's when things get out of control...
High School Romance, first love, sweet romance
(synopsis taken from Goodreads)
Unmaking Hunter Kennedy is a refreshing, beautiful, and very unique out-take on first love and all the amazing sweet things that come with it. In recent months, popular books have been focused on destruction, hurtfulness, and down-right meanness. That makes Unmaking Hunter Kennedy incredibly loveable, and exactly what every reader needs as a pick-me-up!
In it we meet Hunter Kennedy, a seemingly troubled teen who is dealing with his fame that has come from being in a band. After wrecking a vehicle and being forced into a sort of therapy-rehab Hunter ends up traveling all the way to nowhere-ville Colorado (Yay! Love all books that take place in my state!). Here, he's expected to learn to be a normal teenager and deal with all the issues he's got. And boy does he have issues!
Vere Roth and her brother are given the duty of helping Hunter Kennedy, and become a part of his "transformation" into a high-school nerd. Vere is amazingly determined, courageous, and so loving that I felt like hugging her whenever she was down (serious, who messes with such a sweet girl?!). Her perspective is so refreshing and warm that I had to keep reminding myself that she's a teenager (because at times she's way more mature then me! Go Vere!).
Following their story and falling in love with Hunter and Vere is magical and breath-taking. In her sophomore novel, Anne Eliot reminds us all of the innocence of love and how it feels to fall in love for the first time. It's a novel that will have you hanging on up until the very end, and wishing for more of the sweetness. Because when it comes to Unmaking Hunter Kennedy, the sweetness is what counts.
About The Author:
I write full time, and I'm all about fate, destiny, and how it feels to fall in love. My favorite thing to write is a first kiss.
I've worked as an online marketer and develper for Towrrecords.com, FOX TV, and UNM Engineering. I love to teach writing workshops and work with adults, kids and teens who enjoy learning about 'story' and who want to write or learn about story structure and the craft of writing.
I'm blessed with an Italian-Canadian mom and an Irish-American dad. This means my summers are full of huge family reunions, food, yelling and too much travel. When not pining for Tim Horton's to open in Colorado, I ponder Joseph Campbell. His work has inspired me to study story structure and how emotion within a story can move people through time and across cultures. Emotion is the key to everything. I owe JC for keeping me on a journey through world mythologies, folk tales, and the collective unconsciousness while I search for my own bliss in stories.

How Sarah Jessica Parker Went From Ohio Girl to SATC Icon
Born in a very tiny town in southeastern Ohio, Sarah Jessica Parker was "a dreamer" who always "imagined a life beyond that moment." From a young age, Parker "always wanted to be an actor," so she took ballet and acting lessons and quickly worked her way onto the stages of New York. In 1976, at the age of 8, she won a career-starting role in Broadway's The Innocents, followed closely by Annie. Parker soon made the transition to television and film, before shooting the pilot for Sex and the City, which she said she "completely forgot about." Watch the video to find out why, and how the hit show was "a new voice that hadn't been seen in cinema or television."

Frequently Asked Questions
AMERICAN FITTINGS Corporation is committed to the growth and development of the electrical industry. This area of our website is designed to help the electrical professional stay on top ofcurrent application and regulatory issues.
This area will be updated on a regular basis to provide tips for installation and usage of AMFICO products, as well as regulatory information from the Federal Government regarding the industry.
When "Lower Costs are Available on Buy American Projects", What's the Law ?
The ARRA contains an exception allowing a project to use foreign products only if the use of products produced in the United States will increase the cost of the "overall project" by more than 25%. This does not mean that the exception applies if the cost of the product will be 25%
Both the interim regulation and the OMB guidance replicate this requirement and apply the 25 percent differential to the entire construction project.
What is EMT Conduit?
Conduit, usually fabricated of steel, which encloses electrical wiring, thereby protecting the wiring from outside damage. The difference between electrical metallic conduit and electrical metallic tubing (EMT) is that conduit is heavy-walled and usually has threaded ends; in contrast, tubing is thinner and is not threaded. Between these two is an intermediate metallic conduit (IMC), which is 25 percent lighter and less costly than EMT; it may be threaded or thread-less.
EMT tubing manufactured in the United States is from steel, and is welded then, normally galvanized plated. Since AMERICAN FITTINGS EMT fittings are manufactured from steel and are fully machined they are the fitting of choice for total integrity in industrial applications. Unlike zinc die cast fittings which crack when fully torqued and are inconsistent in fit form and function, steel fittings will never "crack under pressure".
What Are Typical Applications for Flexible Metal and Liquid Tight Conduits & Fittings?
Typical applications for liquid tight conduit and liquidtight fittings include the wiring of machine tools, motors, transformers, food processing equipment, robotics, air conditioning units, illuminated store front signs and billboards, etc. The flexible metallic conduit and fittings protect conductors from mechanical damage due to vibration
• Machine tool manufacturers
What is the Buy American ACT and It's Application?
The Buy America provision of the ARRA mandates that "none of the funds appropriated or
Generally speaking, the ARRA Buy America requirement provides that:
The manufacturing and assembly of the parts featured fully conform to the Buy American, Buy American Provisions, Trade Agreements Act and the American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) and section 1605 of that act, Public Law 111-5. A requirement for all federally funded projects and many state and municipal jobs. Material Certs are furnished upon request. Read More Here →
Hints on Selecting the Right Conduit and Cable Fittings
Conduit and cable fittings are available in a variety of materials such as malleable iron, steel and die-cast zinc. Material selection is usually a personal choice based on past experience or specification requirements. Regardless of the material, all fittings must pass the same mechanical and electrical performance tests at independent testing laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
Many fitting manufacturers are developing new products or redesigning existing fittings that can be considered "labor savers." These products will reduce the electrical contractor's installation time. When purchasing fittings, contractors should expect consistent quality, performance and ease of use.
UL and CSA monitor electrical codes and revise their listing or certification specifications to comply with revisions or additions. Products that have been tested and listed by an independent testing facility will perform the same function as domestic manufactured products.Listed or certified foreign-made fittings must pass the same functional requirements as nationally produced fittings. UL and CSA provide follow-up inspection services for listed or certified fittings in many other countries such as India and China. UL and CSA require that all application information and special instructions be printed on the smallest carton label. Types of conduit and/or cable will be noted on the label.
Ground Hubs and Their Use
Grounding Hubs or sometimes called bushings are intended for use with threaded rigid or intermediate metal conduit and an aluminum or copper lug for connecting a bonding or grounding wire. Never exceed or reduce the wire capacity specified on the lug or carton label. Bushings have insulated throat for abrasion protection when pulling wire, black or brown colored insulator rated for 150 degrees C, other colors rated 105 degrees C. The set screw in the Bushing assures bonding to the conduit.
When installing a Grounding Bushing to rigid or intermediate metal conduit, a locknut must be used on the inside and outside of box or enclosure. Assemble the Bushing hand tight and with wrench, or similar tool, tighten additional 1/4 turn; tighten set screw and assemble bonding or grounding wire. Note: the Bushing lug may be rotated to prevent interference with box or enclosure. Tighten screw securely after repositioning lug. Grounding Bushings provide electrical continuity required by the NEC for service entrance and circuits rated over 250 volts.
Why Do Some Fittings Require Taping to be Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Listed?
Raceway systems such as EMT and rigid conduit are permitted by most codes to be embedded in concrete. The solid exterior of these conduits eliminates the possibility of concrete entrance, however, the termination with the connector or coupling can be susceptible to concrete entering the raceway. Included in the UL testing procedure is assembly of the connector or coupling to the conduit, pouring of Portland-type concrete over test samples enclosed in form box, vibrating the concrete surface, and after concrete drying examine the connections for concrete entrance. Although compression style connectors and couplings pass these tests in all trade sizes because of gland ring design, set screw type may have difficulty conforming to UL requirements. When the set screw is tightened onto the conduit, the fitting material will "yield", or stretch, enough to create an opening at the conduit/fitting connection. Set screw fittings in the smaller (1/2″, 3/4″, and 1″) trade sizes are less likely to stretch to the point that would permit entrance of concrete. However, 1-1/4″ and larger size fittings will yield enough so that concrete can enter the raceway. UL will accept product carton marking that specify "Concrete-Tight When Taped" on fittings that cannot pass the fore- mentioned testing since the tape prevents entrance of concrete into the raceway. The taped joint must completely encircle the conduit/fitting connection.

Last month, Gaga announced that she'd be postponing her European tour until 2018, only days after she cancelled a concert in Rio due to "severe physical pain". The singer has been vocal about her battle with Fibromyalgia, a condition which causes chronic pain to spread across the whole body.
Now, she's confirmed that she'll be returning to fulfil UK dates in January and February. Full dates are below. Tickets to the cancelled gigs remain valid. Visit here for tickets and information.
Wed January 31 2018 – BIRMINGHAM Arena Birmingham

Sun February 04 2018 – LONDON O2 Arena
Tue February 06 2018 – MANCHESTER Arena
Thu February 08 2018 – LONDON O2 Arena
Speaking to fans about her battle with illness, Gaga said:"I have always been honest about my physical and mental health struggles.
"Searching for years to get to the bottom of them. It is complicated and difficult to explain, and we are trying to figure it out. As I get stronger and when I feel ready, I will tell my story in more depth, and plan to take this on strongly so I can not only raise awareness, but expand research for others who suffer as I do, so I can help make a difference."

The Wall Street Journal ran a fascinating Inauguration Day story yesterday on Springfield, Illinois.
It was in the Illinois capital -- just 90 miles northeast of St. Louis -- that Barack Obama launched his presidential campaign in February 2007. It was also in Springfield that Abraham Lincoln delivered his speech proclaiming that "a house divided cannot stand."
Yet despite its ties to these two civil-rights pioneers, Springfield itself has a rather checkered past in race relations. In August 1908 a bitter race war broke out in the Illinois capital after the arrest of two black men -- one for the murder of a white man and another for allegedly raping a white woman. (The rape allegation was later disproved.)
The mob ended up lynching two black men not associated with the alleged crimes that launched the riot. Decades later Springfield remained a thoroughly segregated city with the race riot of 1908 rarely acknowledged or discussed.
Last year with the nation focused on Obama -- and to a lesser degree, Springfield -- the city owned up to the riot of a century ago. The mayor issued a formal apology. Next month a $300,000 statute honoring the dead and destruction the race riot wll be unveiled.
Below, is a Wall Street Journal video of the story.

I asked Matthew if he was listening to me. He looks at me all innocent and says:
"I'm not really in a listening mood right now."
Typical conversation in my house:
Dad: I have the munchies.
Matthew (8): The monkeys?
Dad: The munchies.
Andrew (12): Monk cheese? I wonder if that tastes good.
Dad: Sure it does. In fact, monks make the best cheese ever.
Andrew: I don't think that even exists.

Nerve is the only bar that doesn't start up full. You will have to wait a full 50 minutes to get your first full bar. When you begin this game, all nerve is useful for doing crimes.
In your first 10 days, you will be shown a list of checkmarks right next to the crimes, showing what you can and can't do. Each crime has several sub-sections to it, and you're free to choose which one you want to do. At first, only Searching for Cash is available, but once you do enough, you'll be able to Sell Copied CDs. From there on, you'll have to guess on when you can advance. Your bar will also tell you when you've reached a certain level in crime exp when it increase by 5. Your nerve bar will start out at 10, then will increase to 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and even 40. You may purchase increases to your nerve bar through merits as well. The higher your nerve bar, the more likely you'll be able to do higher and higher crimes (Note that increasing your nerve bar by merits does NOT allow you to do harder crimes). Once you get to 40, you'll be able to do almost every crime available to you.
The newer high nerve crimes are however very hard to do, and most people can not successfully pull of the 13, 14 and 15 nerve crimes over time without missing quite a few of them. Getting caught at these high-lvl crimes, will cost you a huge crime experience loss, often resulting in a drop to a 35 nervebar again.
There are certain crimes where you need the existence of items in your inventory to do.
For instance, the 11 nerve crime called Arson requires that you have a Gas Can as well as a Driver's license.

We are based in Dahisar and our user id is 2272 with plan ADBB10M699. On Jan 15th, 017, we changed our old Tikona plan of 4mbps to 10 mbps and it has been the worst decision ever and to our bad luck we ended up paying an advance of Rs. 4824 for 6 months of their service. We needed the upgrade in speed coz of the kind of work we do from home. But ever since we changed the plan we never got a speed of more than 3 mbps. And in recent times it hits as low as 512 kbps!!!! We cannot even access simple apps like WhatsApp or Facebook on our phones either!!!! We certainly did not sign up for this. We have been contacting customer care on several occasions but with no solution. On 2 occasions, their engineer visited our premises and sat for almost 3 hours each time and couldn't do anything about the speed. One visit was just yesterday, 17th April 017. He himself has told us that there is speed issue and we will not be able to get the committed 10 mbps speed. He said that we might have to downgrade our speed plan, something which we are not ready for. He said that customer care would contact and provide us with an alternate issue but nothing till date. All we get is an SMS stating that the issue has been resolved!!! We have spoken to the guy who carried out the installation and asked him too, to cancel our plan and refund our money but of no use. Whenever we talk of plan cancelation and money refund, customer care only tries to evade the issue and makes false promises. We are really fed up of this harassment and need our refund. We have already looked at alternate service providers but are unable to go ahead since our money is stuck with Tikona. Its like being held ransom for our own money, not to mention the unnecessary waste of electricity with no connectivity. Tikona, we don't need any more solutions or a downgrade in plan, we just need our money back and cancelation of your pathetic services.
The Tikona engineer again visited our premises today. He changed the device only to reduce the speed further from 2.5 mbps to 500kbps!!! Seriously is this your solution?? Please refund our money ASAP and discontinue your services.

Commanding Officers at Sharpsburg:
Col. B. B. Gayle
LCol. S. B. Pickens
Capt. E. Tucker
Capt. W. L. Maroney
This Regiment's Chain of Command:
Army - Army of Northern Virginia
Corps - Jackson's Command
Division - D. H. Hill's Division
Brigade - Rodes' Brigade
Unit history
The Twelfth Alabama was organized at Richmond in July 1861, and at once moved to the Potomac "front." It was first brigaded under Gen. Ewell of Virginia, who was soon after succeeded by Gen. Rodes of Tuskaloosa. The regiment lay near Manassas during the fall and winter, and moved to Yorktown in the spring of 1862. It was under fire there, and suffered lightly at Williamsburg. At Seven Pines the regiment was in the advance that opened the battle, and stormed the redoubt held by Casey's division, carrying three lines of works by succesive charges, and losing 70 killed and 141 wounded - more than half it had engaged. It participated to some extent in the other battles before Richmond, and mustered 120 men for duty after the battle of Malvern Hill.
Still under Rodes, and in D. H. Hill's division, and brigaded with the Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Twenty-sixth Alabama regiments, the Twelfth was in the advance into Maryland. It bore a conspicuous part at Boonsboro, and also at Sharpsburg, losing in these bloody conflicts 27 killed, 69 wounded, and 33 missing out its thinned ranks.
Retiring into Virginia with the army, the regiment wintered on the Rappahannock. It was under fire but not actively engaged at Fredericksburg; but it was in the resistless column of Rodes at Chancellorsville, where Col. O'Neal led the brigade, and where the Twelfth charged three lines of breastworks, and was badly mutilated. It skirmished at Brandy Station, and again led the way over the Potomac. At Gettysburg it was on the extreme left, and pressed the enemy in confusion through the town, then supported the grand assault, and afterwards covered the rear.
After the army retired into Virginia, the Twelfth was engaged in several skirmishes - at Warrenton Springs, Turkey Run &c. The winter was passed near Orange C.H., and the regiment - Gen. Battle now commanding the brigade - was hotly engaged at the Wilderness and Spottsylvania, and in the continuous skirmishing of Grant's advance movement to Cold Harbor.
The Twelfth then again marched into Maryland when Early threatened Washington. It participated at Winchester with very severe loss, and in the further operations of the corps in the Valley. On its return to Petersburg it took part - now in the Gordon's corps - in the fierce struggles around that historic city, and laid down its arms at Appomattox.
Of the original number of 1196, about 50 were at Appomattox; and of the 321 recruits received, about 70 were there. Nearly 250 died of wounds received in battle, about 200 died of disease, and 202 were discharged.
On the Sharpsburg Campaign
Col B.B. Gayle was killed, and LCol S. B. Pickens was wounded, at "Boonsboro" (Turner's Gap) on the 14th while the Regiment was part of the late afternoon defense of that South Mountain pass against elements of Federal General Hooker's First Corps.
Capt Tucker was killed at Sharpsburg while in command of what remained of the 12th. The Regiment was among those of DH Hill's Division in the furious midday combat in the sunken road.
For furhter details of the 12th in action, see their Brigade Commander BGen Rodes' Official Report.
Initial Strength: not known; Killed in Action (KIA): 27; Wounded (WIA): 69; Missing in Action (MIA): 33;

Historic Cold Spring Village
Visit the Cold Spring Village
Though Cape May works hard at keeping history alive and well preserved, the Historic Cold Spring Village takes it to another level by showcasing what life was like during the "age of homespun." Here, you'll see the day-to-day activities of villagers living between 1789 – 1840.
The village, the largest outdoor living history museum in New Jersey, includes 30 acres of gardens, farms, and 26 restored historic buildings where you'll learn about the lifestyles and occupations of those that would have lived in Southern Jersey at this time. You'll learn about these villagers through interpreters who are authentically dressed for the time period. Visit with the village's blacksmiths, woodworkers, and watch in awe of the basket weavers.
The village also includes an ice cream parlor, bakery, restaurant, and Country Store. The store is a perfect spot for souvenirs, jewelry, and specialty foods and goods.
In the fall, leading up to Halloween, the village hosts ghost walks on Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. Learn about the sightings and findings from paranormal investigations and staff over the years. Advanced reservations are recommended for this tour and can be made by calling (609) 898-2300 ext. 10.
Standard tickets for the village are $12 for adults, $10 for children ages 3 -12, and children under 3 are free. Active military members receive free admission with their ID, and veterans get 10% off admission prices. Visit the website for seasonal hours prior to your visit.
