The earlier Zelda games were tough, but ask most people on the street what the toughest dungeon in the entire series is and they'll probably say it's Ocarina of Time's Water Temple. Even over a decade on, it still hurts to say it out loud.
Water Temple.
I never thought it was that hard (just a little disorienting), but hey, to each their own. Anyway, this video is great, and would have been very handy at the time: it's Zelda director Eiji Aonuma, the man who designed the dungeon (and Ocarina's other dungeons as well), taking you through its trickiest parts.
Probably not of much use to most of you, but think of it as a director's commentary of sorts and it's fun viewing.

Skilled Woodworking specializes in providing exterior columns to home builders in the greater Minneapolis and St. Paul metro and surrounding areas.
Skilled Woodworking was founded in 2006 as owner Joe Hill sought to revamp his trim carpentry business, Joe Hill Construction, to offer more services in the tumultuous time that followed the housing bubble collapse. The company began offering a much wider array of products and services, and a more fitting name was chosen to reflect the new direction.
Since those tough times, Skilled Woodworking has built partnerships with premier builders in the metro area to once again focus on perfecting a smaller subset of the industry. Although we do take on other projects sometimes, Skilled Woodworking LLC is now primarily focused on creating and installing custom exterior columns for other home builders. Focusing on exterior columns has allowed for us to refine our production methods and offer our customers the highest quality at the best price. If you are a builder that is looking for a more effective solution to your exterior column needs, we hope you will consider using us.

Types of automatic lighting controls
Whether you can't train your kids to turn out lights when they leave a room or need a better outdoor lighting scheme, automatic controls might be a cost-effective solution.
No matter what type you use, the most important thing to remember for any lighting control is to use a type of lightbulb that doesn't need to "warm up." All of the lightbulbs for residential use now on the market will work — incandescents, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and LEDs (light-emitting diodes).
Occupancy sensors that activate when people are near them are helpful indoors, as long as they're positioned to detect people in any corner of the room. They're also good as task lighting — above places like a desk or kitchen sink — so you get the extra light you need while working, but you don't forget and leave it on all night. They are two types of occupancy sensors: ultrasonic and infrared. Ultrasonic sensors detect sound; infrared sensors detect heat and motion.
Timers make an empty home look occupied. If kids are still running in and out, however, timers aren't as effective as occupancy sensors. Plug timers into a wall outlet or install them in the wall, like a light switch or thermostat. New varieties are digital.
Photosensors are generally best outdoors, but new applications have found they're also useful for LED nightlights. When an overhead light is on, the nightlight shuts off automatically.
Central lighting controls are another efficient way to reduce lighting costs. The potential energy savings from installing even a simple central lighting control system are more than most people realize. Just count the lights in a typical home. If a lighting control system allows you to conveniently switch lights on only when needed, your total lighting use reduces greatly. Most lighting control units use very little electricity themselves.
If you already have or are thinking about installing an outdoor security light, consider combining it with a photosensor to keep it from burning all day. A motion sensor goes one step further, if you don't want continuous light.
Timers are commonly used for aesthetic or holiday lighting, sometimes in conjunction with a photosensor — so they turn on at dusk and turn off at a designated time.

12th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP12)
that will take place in Punta del Este, Uruguay, from 1 to 9 June 2015. Learn more
The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands
The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, called the Ramsar Convention, is an intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.
The Ramsar Convention is the only global environmental treaty that deals with a particular ecosystem. The treaty was adopted in the Iranian city of Ramsar in 1971 and the Convention's member countries cover all geographic regions of the planet.
The Ramsar mission
The Convention's mission is "the conservation and wise use of all wetlands through local and national actions and international cooperation, as a contribution towards achieving sustainable development throughout the world".
The Convention uses a broad definition of the types of wetlands covered in its mission, including lakes and rivers, swamps and marshes, wet grasslands and peatlands, oases, estuaries, deltas and tidal flats, near-shore marine areas, mangroves and coral reefs, and human-made sites such as fish ponds, rice paddies, reservoirs, and salt pans.
The Wise Use concept
At the centre of the Ramsar philosophy is the "wise use" concept. The wise use of wetlands is defined as "the maintenance of their ecological character, achieved through the implementation of ecosystem approaches, within the context of sustainable development". "Wise use" therefore has at its heart the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands and their resources, for the benefit of humankind.

May 1, 2013 • Jerod Gunsberg, Los Angeles Criminal Defense Lawyer
By now you probably heard that three more people were charged in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing. As Huffington Post reports:
Federal prosecutors allege that Dias Kadyrbayev, 19, and Azamat Tazbayakov, 19, tried to conceal and destroy a laptop computer and backpack full of fireworks belonging to Tsarnaev, a friend from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where all three were students at one time. They were charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice by the U.S. Attorney's office in Massachusetts.
A third man, Robel Phillipos, 19, was accused of lying to law enforcement officials, who questioned him about the bombing.
According the federal complaint filed against Phillipos, he initially told investigators that he never went to alleged bomber Dzokhar Tsarnaev's dorm room after the bombings. He later told federal agents that he lied to them earlier and that he actually had gone to Tsarnaev's dorm room.
So, you may be thinking what's the big deal? This is a 19 year old kid who was scared, he was friends with Tsarnaev, but wasn't involved in the planning of the bombing, didn't know about Tsarnaev's involvement until after the photos were released, and when the FBI started to question him about whether or not he had contact with Tsarnaev after the bombing, he got scared and lied. After some more questioning, he told the truth.
I agree with you. Unfortunately, that's not the way the government or the law sees it. Under 18 USC 1001(a)(2) , Phillipos is accused of making a "materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation" to the federal agents during questioning. It does not matter if he was under arrest or whether or not his Miranda rights were invoked, the government believes he lied. He's facing a maximum sentence of 8 years in federal prison. Usually the maximum penalty for this offense is 5 years in federal prison, but because this involves a terrorism investigation, the maximum imprisonment is increased to 8 years.
What is so sad about this is that this all could have been avoided. The feds didn't charge Phillipos with any other crime other than lying to the FBI. That means if he had an experienced federal investigation defense attorney representing him BEFORE he talked to the FBI, all of this could have been avoided.
It's likely that the FBI initially believed that Phillipos was involved in the destruction of the evidence, which he wasn't but if he wanted to give an exculpatory statement, his lawyer very well could have advised his client not to lie or possibly negotiated a limited immunity agreement with the federal prosecutor on the case. Of course, this is easier said than done in a case as serious and high-profile as the Boston bombing case. The federal government wants as much leverage as possible over anyone they believe to be involved with the attack, but a scared young man like Phillipos didn't stand a chance on his own when faced with highly trained and highly skilled FBI agents in this case.
Moral of the story: Even if you are 100% innocent, never talk to federal investigators without talking to an attorney first.

2010 Manufacturing Trends Survey: The Glass Is Half Full
Optimism grows as managers predict a post-recession rebound. Safety interest continues to rise, followed by more attention to energy, labor and sourcing.
It looks like 2010 is going to be a good year, judging by the responses from the 388 food & beverage manufacturing managers in our ninth annual Manufacturing Trends Survey. Better than we expected, anyway.
An astonishing 68 percent of respondents project some increase in production next year; 16 percent foresee increases of 20 percent or more. Only 8.6 percent expect a decrease. Significant majorities predict maintaining or increasing staffing levels, production lines and salaries. Two-thirds feel optimistic going into the new year.
Of all the issues that mark our 2010 Manufacturing Trends survey, many are perennials. Food safety tops the list of priorities for the ninth year, and a host of operational issues jockey for second place. But it's the economy that has occupied food and beverage manufacturers' concerns – and expectations – as processors try to pick their path through the recession and halting recovery.
Two years ago, before the financial meltdown could be predicted, nearly 77 percent of processors surveyed expected a production increase of at least 5 percent in 2008. Last year at this time, even after we dropped the minimum production increase to 3 percent, only 56 percent saw that rise possible. Today, as mentioned, 68 percent anticipate that production will increase by at least 3 percent.
These expectations for production correspond with good feelings for growth at the corporate level: 72 percent say their companies plan to either stay the same size or grow with new plants or expansions.
This point was driven home in last month's Processor of the Year coverage of Nestlé USA. Allan McIntosh, senior vice president of technical and manufacturing, sees an era of "growth and investment" following years of industry-wide restructuring. He characterized what appears to be broad optimism for realizing "even more potential now to develop our manufacturing operations and deliver improvements in performance than we've delivered over the last 10 or 15 years."
With expectations such as these, it's no surprise that when managers were asked how they "feel" going into 2010, their attitudes have picked up from a year ago. Last year, 43 percent said they were optimistic about 2009, and 22 were pessimistic. Now, looking to the coming year, 66 percent report feeling optimistic and only 7 percent are pessimistic.
How manufacturers "feel" is no more scientific, but no less significant, than consumer confidence, a key economic indicator valued by economists.
Some belt-tightening permanent
When asked how their companies are dealing with the economy, 37 percent said "we're growing," a significant rise from 27 percent last year. Responses generally were split into three groups of companies: those that continue to grow, those that are reducing staff and those that are making no significant changes. Despite the optimism, there still is some constriction:
- 34 percent are undergoing staff reductions vs. last year's 31 percent.
- 15 percent are closing plants or consolidating, up from 12 percent last year.
- 9.3 report widespread salary cuts, up from 8.4 last year.
In these and other areas, it appears that companies are reacting to economic recession in a delayed manner, or in a way that says "business as usual is over; the belt-tightening is permanent."
Amid the optimism, staffing and pay issues reveal further belt-tightening. In reporting outsourcing as a means of dealing with the economy, 4.1 percent report production outsourcing to North American contract manufacturers (up from 3.8 percent last year) and 5.9 percent report outsourcing to overseas manufacturers (up from 3.1 percent last year).
At the same time, staffing levels seem to be somewhat optimistic in light of economic uncertainty. Asked about staffing expectations for their facilities in 2010, 48 percent plan to maintain staffing levels; 35 percent expect to add to their workforce and 17 percent plan to reduce the workforce, mainly through attrition.
On pay issues, managers are cautiously optimistic. For this new year, 40 percent expect their facility to maintain salary levels, 35 percent expect increases and only 3.2 percent expect their facilities to cut paychecks. Asking respondents to recall last year, 30 percent saw salary increases and 11 percent saw decreases.
Safety issues still rising
While food safety remained the top-rated issue in our survey, it seems to have taken on greater importance going into 2010. The number of processors giving it top rating hit 60 percent (last year, a change in reporting caused it to get an anomalous 37 percent score), while the issue rated 8.4 on a scale of 10. Labor and sourcing & materials were tied at a 6.5 rating, and energy issues were close behind. Third-party inspections and certifications got the second most first-place votes (18 percent) but a slightly lower aggregate rating (a 6.2 score).
Current activity on the food safety front coincides with requirements by major customers for greater HACCP, third-party certifications and ingredient and product tracking and tracing – including supply chain partner practices. These demands often exceed regulatory requirements.
The vast majority of processors, 76 percent, report having a tracking and tracing program in place, while 10 percent do not and the rest were unsure. Most respondents report using at least one auditing service to help them certify with standards, most often citing AIB International (www.aibonline.org), Silliker (www.silliker.com) and NSF Cook & Thurber (www.nsf.org/business/NSF_cook_and_thurber).
Behind safety, energy spent the past two years in second place. But after a year that saw many energy prices fall, it's part of a pack of issues that roughly equally occupy processors. A small majority, 52 percent, said they were "not significantly impacted" by energy costs in the past year. Even though some prices came down in the last year, volatility is an issue that may be driving processors to track and reduce consumption.
Asked how they were approaching energy management, 60 percent of respondents said they were taking steps toward conservation; 30 percent are conducting energy audits and lesser proportions are "recycling" (reclaiming, redirecting, etc.) energy, negotiating with providers and seeking alternative energy sources. Of those alternatives, 6.8 percent are looking into cogeneration. Only one processor reported having a cogeneration system installed, and only one was installing solar panels.
More processors rated labor a top issue this year (14 percent) than in our 2009 survey (10 percent). Environmental concerns remained in the middle of the pack, at best.
The tough economy has not lessened the importance of saving the Earth. Last year, 62 percent said green/environmental/sustainability projects were becoming more important to their companies. A year later, an optimistic group of 69 percent are in that camp.
We suspected many processors deferred capital projects in the past year, and 47 percent confirmed that. While many respondents (29 percent) might not know their company's capital spending budget for the new year, 20 percent thought it would be "about the same as last year's," and 39 percent thought it would increase at least 5 percent; only 12 percent predict a decrease.
We end with a thank-you to the 388 respondents to the Manufacturing Trends Survey. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve it next year, e-mail us at any time (email@example.com).

A transcript of Raiders' coach Tom Cable at his press briefing Wednesday following practice:
Cable: Heyward-Bey did not practice, he strained a hamstring last Tuesday at practice Schilens did not practice Zach Miller practiced limited, John Henderson practiced limited, as did Nnamdi Asomugha
Q: How much work did those three do?
Cable: It was a decent amount; hopefully it will be more Thursday, We want to kind of put them so through some things today and see how they feel Thursday. If they feel like they did at the end of practice, we're probably going to get more and more out of them
Q: That sounds encouraging …
Cable: Very.
Q: Could you rank those three, who is the farthest from coming back?
Cable: Not really. I think they're all about the same. They're doing well
Q: How serious is Heyward-Bey's injury?
Cable: It's just sore. It's a real slight strain, not real serious, but it's one of those things where if you push it too much too quick, it could become serious.
Q: Did Schilens have a setback?
Cable: It's not so much a setback, it's responded really well when we're on the field running straight ahead; it's just a matter of being able to cut and coming in and out of cuts. Still not very smooth yet.
Q: What has been the impact of Hue Jackson?
Cable: He has been a big lift for us in that we've taken some stuff he brought from Baltimore and his past at Cincinnati and put it with what was here and he's done a nice job meshing the whole thing together.Some of the specific things, a little more gap scheme in terms of running the football and I think his idea of throwing the ball down the field bodes well for what we're trying to do. A lot of it is play-action. It's been a real good fit that way.
Q: Roethlisberger very good when flushed out of the pocket, what's the best way to defend him?
Cable: I think you have to keep him in the pocket. We're very aware that one, escapeability, he may be as good as there is. Outside the pocket, he's dramatically, to another level, dramatically better than most. So you want to squeeze him from all angles, whether it's with pressure or with a four-man rush. The biggest thing is if you get your hands on him is to wrap him up. I think that's the biggest thing. That's the biggest thing. Very good at getting out of sacks and potential traffic. And then you stay in coverage on the back end, because that's where he does a really good job is escaping and throwing the ball down the field.
Q: How much more difficult in that you play man, whereas on zone team might be looking at him, but in man guys can't see him or what he's doing?
Cable: I think as long as you plaster and stay on your man, you're in good shape. I think it plays to our hands a little bit better because we are a man team. If you're in zone and looking to him and he escapes and moves out you start losing people in coverage.
Q: You watched last year's game and comeback with your team what point did that serve?
Cable: I watched it last year on Monday, but we used it as part of the breakdown to some extent. I think the importance is we were just there almost 12 months ago, that we went in there, hung in there, hung in there, and found a way to win the game. I think, when you talk about when you're going to Pittsburgh , people want to talk about their style of play, talk about their crowd, a very football savvy group of people. Just the fact that we've been there, found a way to have success there and just to kind of reiterate the fact that this is another team.
Q: Players have been talking about how you connect with them. Who have been your coaching influences?
Cable: I think I've had a lot of good influences. My college coach was Dennis Erickson. My high school coach, Dick Armstrong. Guys who have mentored me in this league, Alex Gibbs, Steve Mariucci, Keith Gilbertson. I've had very good fortune in terms of who I've been around, and I think all those guys had one thing in common and that was they connected with the players.
Q: A lot of energy today as practice opened . . .
Cable: I think that comes with success. We've won a few games now and you come back from the bye, we're healthier, we're excited for the second half of the season. You look out there, and you all do a good job of kind of telling them where they're at and what's ahead of them and all that. So there is a lot of excitement, a lot of energy. We're excited about going to Pittsburgh and the opportunity that's ahead of it. And it just comes from finding some success.
Q: How do you address the danger of being overconfident?
Cable: I won't let that happen. We haven't done a damn thing, and that's been our motto. We have got to keep grinding and fighting and going to work and cutting it loose and doing what we do. I think if I ever feel like we lose sight of that, I'll reel them back in, but that's not us, at least not yet.
Q: Do you feel as if you still have something to prove to people about your being a contender?
Cable: You do because we have to have that feeling. For one, we haven't done anything yet. We have won three games in a row, we're 5-4, we missed a kick in Arizona , we didn't score a touchdown at San Francisco . And those two things kind of, from a coach's standpoint, really gnaw at you because you kind of know what you're team should be. But we're not. So, in order to accomplish anything, we have got to keep doing our job, which is getting better.
Q:Do you sense a boost in Ford's confidence after big game vs. KC?
Cable: Not really. I've kind of thought from the very beginning that Jacoby had that air about him. It was just a matter of getting him acclimated him, teaching him the system and then finding out where he fits. And what coaches do is, find out where can you use a guy and what kind of role can he have. But he's always been a confident guy in who he is.\
Q: Can you emulate the Patriots and other teams that spread out the Steelers and beat them with the pass, or are you not built that way?
Cable: We're really not. You hit it on the head. We have to be who we are. At the same time, you look at some of the issues that they had on Sunday night was about spreading them out and mixing them up. Where do you have that fine line between what we are and what our strengths are into trying to be something maybe a little more that way, meaning spread? At the end of the day, be who you are and you might mix in a few things.

"Bachelor Pad's" second to last episode was last night. While thrilled that "Bachelor Pad" was the perfect segue between the Summer Olympics and football, we're none to happy about the scheduling of the finale -- the same time as the Ravens' first game.
The amount of crying and open mouth stares on this week's previews can only mean that the apocalypse has hit. Turns out, it's just another twist. Shocker!
More twists!
Sarah: The apocalyptic stares from the preview were actually the contestants seeing the challenge for the first time -- a giant crane-like contraption with seats dangling over the pool. One partner must answer trivia questions correctly in order to keep their dangling partner's rope intact. The winner of this challenge didn't receive roses; instead they got to decide which couple to send home immediately (the crying part).
Chris: Once again Chris ("Lt. Dan") and Sarah ("Praying Mantis") come out on top in a competition that relies heavily upon useless "Bachelor" knowledge. After weighing the pros and cons of sending each couple home, they decided on Tony ("Slug") and Blakeley ("Cougar"). I was actually pulling for them because I feel sorry for Tony and Blakeley probably needs the money more than anyone else. At least they still have each other ... or so Tony thinks.
Rock of Ages fail
Sarah: Without a break, the contestants head directly to their next challenge at Hollywood's Palladium. They walk into a Night Ranger performance and learn that they must perform "Sister Christian" to a live audience with only 24 hours to rehearse. The couple with the best performance, as determined by Night Ranger, wins roses and will compete in the finale. No one had the best performance -- Rachel ("Snaggle Tooth") looked like she was about to cry, Ed ("Adam Corolla") and Jaclyn ("Muppet") forgot the words and humped onstage even though the song is about a brother giving his sister advice and Sarah's dancing was just absolutely insane.
Chris: Apparently the members of Night Ranger needed to make a mortgage payment. The contestants sounded worse than the 2 a.m. crowd at a karaoke sushi bar. Nick ("Widow Snatcher") and Rachel pull of the victory with the least aurally offensive rendition and thankfully steered clear of any incestuous interpretations.
The decision
Sarah: Since there are only three couples left, Rachel and Nick must choose which couple they want to bring with them to the finale. The previously booted contestants will decide on the winning couple. We saw this coming, but at least they didn't show Jaclyn's entire meltdown in the previews -- it was like an amazing telenovela with Chris Harrison in the background.
Chris: Doesn't Jaclyn understand the concept of this game? Hook up and get money. Rachel and Nick chose Sarah and Chris since most people dislike them, thereby giving them the win. Can't wait to see what Chris Harrison describes as the "most shocking and most disturbing 'Bachelor Pad' finale." It better be worth missing the game.
The final two couples
Nick ("Widow Snatcher") & Rachel ("Snaggle Tooth") -- Nick turns out to be a real power player. Too bad his partner is the biggest crybaby in the history of "Bachelor Pad."
Chris ("Lt. Dan") & Sarah ("Praying Mantis") -- they've got our vote. Even though they are both atrocious human beings, they understand the point of this game. We also appreciate that they haven't wasted our time with whining and crying.

Demi Lovato MTV Preview: 'I Never Thought I'd Be a Role Model'
Some more details, including a trailer, have been revealed about Demi Lovato's previously top-secret upcoming MTV special, 'Demi Lovato: Stay Strong,' which is set to air on MTV on March 6 at 10PM ET. It's a one-hour documentary that begins in the Fall of 2011, as Lovato faces life after rehab and navigates the long, involved recovery process, which didn't cease when she signed out of a treatment facility.
Fans will ride sidecar with the 'Skyscraper' singer as she enjoys Thanksgiving in Dallas, Texas with her extended family and hits the road for her first tour in recovery mode. There's a cute scene of her doing vocal warm ups backstage in the trailer.
Viewers will also accompany Lovato as she returns to the treatment facility she initially checked into in October of 2010, speaking to the girls who are there and thanking the staff who assisted in her own journey.
In the trailer, Lovato confesses, "I never thought I'd be a role model." She also said that she hated it when that tag was first assigned to her pre-rehab and when she first started in the industry.
She states, "I battled depression, developed an eating disorder and thought there is no way I am going to get better. It ended up driving me insane."
Once she got over that hump, she admitted, "Why not air all my secrets?"
She continued, "I wanted to share my story but I knew it had to be honest, it had to be real. I have daily challenges but so do many kids who are struggling to feel comfortable in their own skin. If opening up and sharing my story inspires even one person to stay strong or to get the help they need, I've succeeded."
That approach really has worked for her. She could have refused to talk about her situation and her issues, which many crisis PR campaigns aim to do. Instead, she embraced candor and honesty.
The last seconds of the trailer are so poignant, as Lovato says, "I am not fixed. This is a daily battle, but I continue to work my butt off. I want to be a legitimate role model."
It's full circle for Demi Lovato.

Pool Safety Cover Repair: Rips and Tears
The advantages and benefits to owning and using a swimming pool safety cover are tremendous. From protecting your family and loved ones to preserving your pool water chemistry, a safety pool cover is an ideal choice for any pool no matter what shape or size. Keeping out the leaves, holding up to snowstorms, and constantly fighting off unwanted UV rays can be hard work. Covers can develop several weak points that should be tended to.
Even the toughest of safety covers can be compromised by a large tree limb that can snap off and gouge through the material. Ensure your cover lives up to its potential and serves its purpose for many years. Simple maintenance can help you prolong the life of your very wise investment. If the unfortunate does happen and your safety cover is damaged, repairs can sometimes be very simple and inexpensive. If the damage is beyond what an average homeowner can repair you also have the option of sending it back to the manufacturer to have a professional replace paneling as needed.
If you do not currently own a pool safety cover, do your homework and explore all your options to determine which safety cover will best fit your needs…and pool! There are several manufacturers on the market that offer safety covers in a variety of styles. Compare warranty and reviews while shopping. Check up on the manufacturer you are interested in to ensure you will receive a quality cover in a timely fashion. Always save any paperwork associated with a safety cover purchase in the event a replica is ever needed. Send in all warranty cards and make sure to read all your instructions before installing and using a new safety cover.
The three main styles of pool safety covers are mesh, solid with mesh drain paneling, and solid with an automatic cover pump. All cover styles are subject to damage. Damage occurs to both the cover material and the hardware associated with it. The decking anchors can become stripped and seized, the springs can be stretched and damaged, and the material can be punctured by mother-nature or through someone's carelessness.
Holes, Tears, and Rips:
The most common of damage! Always use caution when installing, removing and storing the safety cover, Make sure not to carelessly snag the cover on a sharp object or drag it over anything with the capability of puncturing the material. Even a deck anchor can create a rip if enough force is used when moving a cover. When storing you will want to first clean the cover and allow it to dry before placing it in the cover storage bag. Prevent rodents from having access to the stored cover and discourage mice from chewing through the paneling by using Mouse Away Pouches, moth balls or a similar product. Keeping up on the landscaping around the backyard and pool area will also help limit the chances that an unattended dead tree limb will fall down onto your pool cover.
Regardless of the preventative measures taken, a hole or tear still might occur. You will first want to inspect the damage and determine if this is something you will be able to fix on your own. Remember that the patch is not merely cosmetic but could at some point be under a high weight load. If your cover has snow accumulation or a layer of ice present do not attempt to adjust the cover. Sheets of ice can slice through material if you attempt to move the cover even slightly.
Smaller holes and little tears are simple. Self adhesive Patch kits are available in a variety of material so you can match your covers pattern and color. Mesh Pool Cover Patch Kits made by 3M are designed for damaged areas smaller than 3"x 6". Before placing on a patch you will want to clean the compromised panel and allow to dry. I normally take a sharp pair of scissors and round off the corners of the patch to prevent it from peeling off. I apply a patch on both sides of the cover to ensure it will last. If done correctly a patched area can outlast the rest of the pool cover.
Larger patches can be custom made from pieces of mesh material cut out from one of the storage bags. Keep in mind this could be a weak point in your safety barrier. Again you will want to patch both side of the cover using patches with rounded corners. Use Gorilla Glue or a similar adhesive to apply your custom patches. Sewing a patch can be done but might be considered overkill. You would want to use a heavy duty thread.
When a cover tears at a seam you will want to send it into the manufacturer to inspect and repair. If the time has come to replace the cover they will be able to use the damaged cover as a template to ensure the anchor spacing is correct. Contact Poolcenter.com to get a return authorization and instructions on how to send in your cover.
Cover Hardware::
You will want to ensure your cover springs are 2/3 of the way compressed every year. Also make sure the vinyl spring cover is in place to avoid any rubbing friction on the pool deck. If springs are over-tight they will become oblong where they connect to the anchor and eventually the coil will break. Replace all damaged springs and covers annually. Make sure water accumulation is properly draining through the mesh drain paneling or via a pool cover pump. Standing water is a safety hazard and can also warp material if water pools on the incorrect panel. If panel does create a pocket you will want to replace and adjust the tension of the strapping.
Anchors are usually threaded or spring loaded. You can use WD-40 to keep them lubed and a garden hose with a high pressure nozzle to spray out any grit that gets into the anchor casing. Over time the anchors can become seized in the deck or the anchor heads can get stripped. Extraction tools can be purchased to assist you in removing and replacing those old anchors.

Rome, known as the Eternal City, has attracted visitors for over 2,000 years. It is one of the most magnificent and romantic cities in the world, boasting an attractive mix of grandiose sights and bustling city life. Life is sweet—the cake is there for eating. Italian designer shopping, smooth ice cream, frothy cappuccino and exquisite wines to name but a few things.

Where do you start to summarize the history of the Eternal City? A good date might be 21 April 753 B.C. The day when Romulus is said to have founded the city after murdering his twin brother Remus. During the following centuries Rome grew into a powerful empire, peaking during the rule of Marcus Aurelius in 161-180 A.D.
Just like the ancient city, today's Rome is built on seven hills: Capitolino, Palatino, Quirinale, Viminale, Esquilino, Celio and Aventino. The central area is called Campo Marzio, named after the Roman god of war, and was the ancient army's training grounds. This is where many of the famous sights are located. Other well-known areas are Trastevere, on the other side of the Tiber river, and Monti. Little Pigneto is considered the most typically Roman neighbourhood.
Rome is one of a kind. No other city - not even Athens, Istanbul, London or New York - has as many world-class sites as Rome. Walking down Via del Fori Imperiali towards the Colosseum will impress even the most spoiled and shopping-crazed teenager. The city has so much to offer. In addition to the Roman heritage there are also Medieval neighbourhoods, well designed squares, colourful markets and of course, Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica. This Rome guide suggests a few other places that must be seen.

Rome restaurants cater to all tastes. There are American steakhouses, Lebanese meze restaurants, Vietnamese eateries, and a number of haute cuisine establishments celebrated in the Guide Michelin, but "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" and choose the less extravagant restaurants and trattorias for a memorable dining experience.
The Italian word for dinner, "cena," comes from the Latin convivum. A word which means "live together", and that is precisely what you do. Eating is a social get-together which lasts at least three courses—often even at lunchtime. The Romans do not eat dinner until nine in the evening.
The traditional Roman pasta is called Carbonara and is made from pork and whipped egg yolk with lots of parmesan and black pepper, or all'Amatriciana with bacon, tomato and onion.Vegetables are ordered as a side dish ("contorno"), accompanying the main dish, e.g. tossed spinach or chicory with garlic and pepperoncino (Spanish peppers).

The Romans love to meet over aperitivo around 19.30, after which they either go on to a restaurant or home for dinner. The drinks need not necessarily be alcoholic. Many bars serve light snacks which are included in the price.
After 23.00 most of those looking to party head over to the Testaccio area. Named after the mountain of discarded amphoras, the area is home to many sites, ranging from small piano bars to equally small discos. Make sure you take at least a night out to experience the bar and club scene in Rome.

High fashion shopping in Rome is concentrated on two streets running parallel to each other from the Spanish Steps. Via Condotti is home to Prada, Valentino, Gucci, Armani, and Max-Mara. Over on Via Borgognona, one can find the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Gianfranco Ferré, Laura Biagiotti, and Gai Mattiolo. Closer to Piazza Navona is Via dei Giubbonari, and its street fashion stores McQueen and Liquid. Also nearby is Via del Governo Vecchio, with its elegant vintage fashion boutiques.
When it comes to food, Rome has several notable spots. Volpetti, on Via Marmorata 47 in Testaccio, is as close to heaven as you can get. This bustling, high-paced place offers many deli options—Latini pasta from Osimo, salsiccia and spicy sandwich meats its speciality, however, is its cheeses, including the formaggio di fossa, matured underground. Two other delis to revel in are ancient Franchi and Castroni on Via Cola di Rienzo. Castroni offers a slightly more international selection. Campo de´Fiori is the site of a daily food market that embodies the terms picturesque and colourful. Come early when the shadows are long and the morning is at its freshest. Another nice market, with more of a food hall atmosphere is Mercato di Testaccio.

Rome's main airport, Leonardo da Vinci, is located in Fiumicino, 30 kilometres (18.5 miles) from the city.
There are several different ways for you to get into the city centre from the airport:
Leonardo Express
The Leonardo Express leaves every half hour in each direction and connects Roma Termini station with Fiumicino airport. Tickets can be bought at machines, travel agencies, ticket desks and on the website.
You can reach Rome by train directly to the Termini railway station.
The metropolitan train FM1 links the airport with regions like Fara Sabina, Orte and Poggio Mirteto. Please note that the Metro does not stop at central station Termini.
Terravision Shuttle Bus
This bus line takes you to the central station Termini.
The city's second airport Ciampino is situated 12.0 km south southeast of central Rome and is mainly served by low-cost airlines and package tours.
Some of the low-cost airlines have their own buses. The regular buses depart from the nearby underground station Anagnina.
A taxi ride from the airport and central Rome takes 20 minutes.

Best time to Visit
The summer brings peak visitor numbers to Rome, and some of the year's highest temperatures fall on July and August. If your visit falls on these two months, do make sure to check that your accommodation is equipped with air conditioning. Rome is a traveller's darling all throughout the year, with spring being, the most pleasant time to visit.
More Information:
Italy can be visited visa-free for up to 90 days by citizens of Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Israel, UAE and most countries in America. If you are unsure whether or not you need to apply for a visa, we recommend contacting the embassy or consulate in your country. International (non-Schengen) travelers need a passport that is valid for at least 3 months after the end of their intended trip in order to enter the Schengen zone. Citizens of Schengen countries can travel without a passport, but must have a valid ID with them during their stay.
More Information:
Public Transport
The Termini station is the hub for Rome's transportation network. The name of the local bus and streetcar company is ATAC. All tickets must be purchased from ATAC ticket machines, newsagents, or ticket outlets on the underground. The underground runs until midnight. Night buses stop at stations marked "N".
There are also different choices of travel passes for 1, 3 or 7 days that are valid on all public transportation.
More Information:
Taxi stands can be found throughout the city centre. It is recommended that tourists only use the licensed yellow and white taxis. An extra fee is payable per suitcase to and from the airport. There is also a surcharge at night, on public holidays and on Sundays. It is cheaper to hail a taxi in the street than get one at a taxi stand or book via telephone. Tipping at 5-10% is encouraged.
Phone: +39 060609
More Information:
The Post Office is usually open 09.00-14.30 from Monday to Friday and between 09.30–13.00 on Saturdays.

Early Good morning to all my Diva Ladies out there in the blog-a-sphere! It has been a few good weeks since I have been able to blog.

The American Bar Association released a groundbreaking legal primer for transgender adults before, during, and after their transitions with regards to numerous legal spheres that in many states remains murky. The 313-page "Transgender Persons and the Law," written by lawyer and transwoman Ally Windsor Howell, is a comprehensive guide for both cisgender legal practitioners and transgender individuals to better serve a population Howell describes as "immigrants into the world of men and women."
"'Transgender Persons and the Law' is likely to become the definitive treatise for legal issues that have specific application to transgender persons throughout the United States," says Robert J. O'Toole, Esq., co-chair of the New York State Bar Association's Transgender Subcommittee. "I commend this book to any lawyer who might be representing transgender clients, or anyone who is interested in learning more about the special legal challenges faced by transgender people."
The book is an effective snapshot of American transgender rights up to 2013. Howell, who now lives in Elmira, NY, previously practiced in Alabama. With over 25 years of legal experience, including a stint as an assistant attorney general and chief counsel of the Alabama Medicaid Agency, she authored annual supplements for three legal books as well as numerous articles for newspapers, bar journals and other publications.
By first describing what a transgender individual is -- "a marked incongruence between one's experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender" -- Howell then definitively states that the transgender experience has nothing to do with sexual orientation. She then addresses the medical community, regarding proper identification of transgenderism, by citing the 2005 transcript from the Kaiser Family Foundation stating:
"There's no way to do a test. We can't draw blood, do an X-ray, do a PET scan, and prove that someone is transgendered. You just have to accept it... Basically, we have to trust Popeye, and Popeye says, 'I am what I am,' and that's just about as far as you can go in terms of making an accurate diagnosis."
To help legal professionals and newly self-aware transgender people with regard to proper terminology, Howell includes a glossary of topical terms commonly used within the transgender community. Dr. Lori Kohler, a transgender medical expert whom Howell cites, notes, "It's not like any of us grow up and say 'Oh, I understand what that is.' It's not even like someone who is transgendered grows up understanding what it means, and naturally having a language, and naturally being able to articulate their experience."
The misunderstanding, bias and prejudice toward transgender people, from which gays and lesbians are not immune, can lead to an inordinate amount of trans violence. "Transgender Persons and the Law" establishes the legal and statistical foundation recognizing transfolk as a persecuted minority, victims of a particularly violent discrimination where the result often is severe harm or death.
Step by Step, State by State
With the second chapter, "Identification Documents," Howell begins in earnest with the issues of transition (and admits the work's primary deficiency, that it is intended for adults, not minors), including a section for immigrants with regard to residency cards and naturalization papers. The book also includes a DVD containing a complete set of forms for all 50 states and the District of Columbia for name changes and, for those jurisdictions that allow it, birth certificate changes.
Howell moves on to situations including housing, the armed services, family law, education, health care, personal safety, employment, immigration and criminal justice.
Along with standing law, "Transgender Persons and the Law" contains seminal court cases and precedents as they relate to each chapter and subject. Chapter five, "Military Service and Veterans Benefits," proves particularly timely in the wake of Chelsea Manning revealing her transgender status and the legal wrangling pertaining to her transition therapy while in federal prison. Howell notes that the Veterans Affairs health system "does not provide sex reassignment surgery or plastic reconstructive surgery for strictly cosmetic purposes" and sex reassignment surgery cannot be performed or funded by Veterans Health Administration or VA.
" 'Transgender Persons and the Law' is a very comprehensive text," writes Phyllis Randolph Frye, J.D., in the forward. Frye, the first out-of-the-closet transgender judge in the U.S. and "Grandmother of the National TG Legal and Political Movement," commends Howell's effort, noting both the distance covered and the distance remaining for full recognition of transgender individuals in American society, and the role the courts and activists play.
"All lawyers and lay activists dealing with this area of the law either in the courts or in legislative lobbying should read it," Frye continues. "As I read, I felt gratified at how far TG legal gains have come, as expressed in this book, since 1992 when I created the first international TG legal conference in Houston. Obviously, there is much more work to be done in the area of TG legal gains. Even so, thank you, Ms. Howell, for this encompassing snapshot of all of our legal gains a mere two decades later."

Donny Osmond was born December 9, 1957 to George and Olive Osmond in Ogden Utah. He is the seventh of nine children: eight boys and one girl. The entire Osmond Family have a long and varied career, which had a humble beginning singing barbershop harmony on Main Street Disneyland. Soon thereafter, Donny and his siblings became very successful teen idols worldwide.
Today, Donny performs at the Las Vegas Flamingo Hotel with his sister, Marie. The show began back in September 2008 and was originally scheduled to run for 6 months. The response was so overwhelming that the Flamingo immediately asked for a two year extension. The Donny & Marie Show is scheduled to continue through October 2010.
On occasion, Donny co-hosts the nationally syndicated nightly entertainment newsmagazine, "The Insider," and continues as a special correspondent for its sister show "Entertainment Tonight." He, along with his sister have recently co-hosted two primetime television specials, "Miss USA" and "America's Favorite Mom." The two have a long history of working together that began in the late 70s on the original Donny & Marie show.
2008 was a milestone year for the entire Osmond family, particularly Donny's brothers: Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay – The Osmond Brothers — it marked their 50th anniversary as performers. To commemorate it, the family gathered for a concert which was videotaped and broadcast nationally on PBS as a pledge drive special. Following the concert, the seven performing Osmonds went on a month long tour through the UK, Australia and Asia. It was the first time in 27 years all performing Osmonds were on one stage and also marked the final world tour for the Osmond family as an entire group. An expanded version of the PBS anniversary concert is now available on DVD at donny.com.
In 2007 Donny hosted two television series on British network television, "Identity" and "Pyramid", was the special correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight" covering "Dancing with the Stars," and performed at "The Concert for Diana," which was seen worldwide by 2 billion viewers. Also during this year, Donny completed his 55th CD entitled, From Donny… with love, a compilation album of his favorite love songs.
Donny had performed on Broadway prior to 2006 in George M. Cohan's Little Johnny Jones, but his stay was short-lived. All that changed when Donny was invited by Disney to star in the Broadway production of Beauty and The Beast. Playing the role of the villainous Gaston was a change for Donny, who said it was an opportunity for his "mischievous side to shine." After his 12-week run ended, he was asked to return in July 2008 for the final performance as it closed its doors.
As if performing 6 shows per week on Broadway wasn't enough work , during his run in Beauty and The Beast Donny produced his next album. Since there wasn't a recording studio nearby, he soundproofed a portion of his dressing room in order to record the vocals for "Love Songs of the 70s," a mix of different love songs made popular by various artists. Some of the songs included in this collection are: "Laughter in the Rain," "Oh, Girl," "If," "Let's Stay Together," "How Deep Is Your Love," and "You Are So Beautiful." For Donny, these are songs he considers priceless and timeless; he loves listening to these songs, and especially enjoys singing them.
In 2005, Donny co-wrote and recorded What I Meant To Say, and it may be, for him, the most satisfying albums, yet. Not only did the album hit the charts immediately following its release in the United Kingdom, each song gave Donny some of the most rewarding creative experiences in his long and remarkable career. The title track, What I Meant To Say, reveals the depth of intimacy and affection that each song on the album expresses.One of the songs he wrote took on special significance upon the passing of his mother. According to Donny:"It occurred to me after I wrote ["Whenever You're In Trouble"] that this song is everything she told us. She was always there for us – a shoulder to cry on, just an incredibly loving person — the perfect mother. She made each of us nine kids feels like she was our special protector and that each one of us was 'her favorite.' So although it was inspired by an experience with my third son, Brandon, the concept of 'Whenever You're In Trouble' really comes from her. It's almost as if she wrote it through me, to my children."
Donny collaborated with several different writers but the strongest creative influence was probably his own experience. For that very reason, What I Meant To Say is everything Donny wanted to say throughout the years.When the 2002 Olympics occurred in Donny's backyard — Utah — he, Marie and their father, George Osmond, participated in the official Olympic Torch Relay. Additionally, Donny & Marie were invited to perform in the Closing Ceremonies.
Donny has sold over 80 million records over five decades, and has received 33 gold records, 18 of them before the age of 13. His album, Somewhere In Time, released in 2002, went platinum in only 8 days — a first for the music veteran, and he toured the United Kingdom a year later. The tour was a success, and Donny Osmond: LIVE quickly climbed to the top of the UK charts, becoming one of the best selling DVDs of the year.Reuniting with Marie on TV, he co-hosted the nationally syndicated daytime talk show Donny & Marie, for which he was not only Emmy-nominated for "Best Talk Show Host", but also for "Best Producer".
Donny has learned to persevere and to follow his own path, and never rests on his past achievements. He is constantly thinking of the best way to stay ahead of the curve, which is probably why he chose to host the wildly popular Pyramid game show, and was again nominated for an Emmy for "Best Game Show Host." And, of course, who could forget his appearance on the celebrity edition of Fear Factor where he placed his head in a box of hundreds of disgusting insects.
One of Donny's greatest achievements occurred in the early 90s when he played the title role in the North American production of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Following a six-year commitment encompassing more than 2,000 performances, Donny retired his colored coat; again achieving great success and recognition for his performance.
During the 80s, Donny struggled against his lingering teeny bopper image; an image so unfashionable that even his closest friends advised him to change his name. He then met English rocker Peter Gabriel; it was under Gabriel's tutelage that a rugged, edgier Donny Osmond emerged from near-obscurity with the hit "Soldier of Love" written and produced by the highly successful team of Sturken and Rogers (Rihanna, Christina Aguilera). The single went all the way to the top of the Billboard charts and garnered Donny Billboard Magazine's "Top Pop Male Artist of the Year". Most critics agreed that his attempts at mainstream rock were much more impressive than anyone had imagined. Donny continued to prove his versatility with hits like "My Love Is A Fire" and "Sacred Emotion", which became a top 5 hit on VH1.
It was in the early 70s, when Donny was just a teenager, that he and his brothers became a genuine entertainment phenomenon. The Osmond Brothers, as the group was known, released hit after hit and toured the world. Donny's debut single, "Sweet & Innocent", became his first Top 10 hit at the age of 14. He later went on to release million-selling hits like "Go Away Little Girl", "Puppy Love" and "Too Young". Together with his brothers, The Osmond Brothers took the United Kingdom by storm, which became affectionately known as "Osmondmania" — fan riots and hysteria matched that of The Beatles. Donny's "Puppy Love" gave him his first number 1 hit in the UK, and was a multimillion-selling smash hit single worldwide.
Donny began a series of duets with his sister Marie Osmond, which included more Top 10 hits like "I'm Leaving It All Up To You" and "Morning Side of the Mountain". The two went on to host one of the most successful television variety shows ever, the "Donny & Marie Show". Donny and Marie are listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest prime time television hosts ever. They also received a People's Choice Award.
This entire journey began for Donny at the early age of 5 when he made his first television appearance with his brothers on the Andy Williams Show. Andy enjoyed the brothers so much that they became regulars on the show displaying various talents of singing, dancing, ice skating, or whatever they were asked to do. During breaks from the show he began touring with his family all over the US, Europe, and Asia. And, he hasn't stopped, yet
It has been said that the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and tribulation. Donny Osmond has stood at the highest peaks of success any man could hope to attain in a lifetime. But, all of these success stem from his upbringing. His parents, George and Olive Osmond, taught their children to work hard and aim high to realize their greatest ambitions.
Donny has generated millions of dollars over the years for several charitable organizations such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Best Buddies, The Children's Miracle Network, and The One Heart Foundation. Donny is the author of The New York Times bestselling book Life Is What You Make It, in which he revealed his battle with social phobia, a common but debilitating anxiety disorder that threatened not only his career, but his very life as well. He narrated the PBS documentary "Afraid of People", bringing this little known phobia to the public's attention.
For nearly five decades, Donny Osmond has been making a difference in people's lives. He has continually proven himself to be not only a critically acclaimed singer and songwriter, but also a compassionate humanitarian, a man of principle and faith, and most importantly a good son, husband and father.Donny and Debbie, his wife of 31 years, have five children and two grandchildren.

London minicab firm Addison Lee has reported that 25% of all its bookings come via its iPhone app.
45,000 bookings a week are made using the free app, which has been downloaded more than 350,000 times, according to Addison Lee. In the first ten months of the year, the app has already taken £33 million, and is on track to take more than £50 million by the end of 2012.
The app works by locating customers using the GPS system in their smartphones. This means that customers do not need to type in their pick-up address; they can simply click the 'Find my location' button.
Addison Lee's fleet of 3,500 minicabs and 250 "VIP chauffeur cars" is managed by a computerised Auto Allocator that tracks all of its vehicles, constantly calculating the most efficient solution to pick up each passenger across the entire fleet. The company claims to offer an average pick-up time of four minutes in Central London.
Passengers are sent an SMS text message informing them when their car is on its way and again when it is waiting outside. These texts include the driver's mobile number and vehicle registration, so customers can identify their car safely and contact the driver directly should they need to.
As well as the iPhone app, Addison Lee has also created Windows Phone, Android, Nokia and BlackBerry apps and is currently assessing the potential of new technologies such as HTML5 and NFC.
"We offer a full range of apps, but our customers have really embraced the iPhone," said Peter Ingram, Addison Lee's IT Director.
Apps that use location-based technology to compare prices of minicab companies in the local area, enter their journey details and book are growing in popularity, with several companies now offering similar services for smartphone users.
Intelligent Apps' myTaxi won €25,000 in the CODE_n12 competition at the Cebit trade show earlier this year, and ubiCabs was named winner of the Startup Challenge at Digital London.
"There have been a slew of copycat smartphone apps for taxi services since we launched, but no company can offer the scale and reliability that underpins the Addison Lee app," said Ingram.
"Addison Lee's huge growth over recent years has been founded on technology, so it's natural for us to be at the forefront of mobile transport apps."

Penn State Beaver is the recipient of the Crisis Center Northern Star System Honoree Award which was presented to Donna J. Kuga, Beaver campus director of academic affairs. The award was given recently at the annual Crisis Center North (CCN) fundraiser called Cocktails and Cuisine in Wexford in honor of the campus' efforts on behalf of domestic violence prevention.
CCN provides services for victims of domestic and sexual abuse of all ages. Today it is recognized as one the strongest domestic violence prevention groups in the state and provides counseling, case management, a 24-hour hotline, and legal, educational, and medical advocacy services for more than 2,000 victims annually. All services are provided for free.
The award was presented to Kuga by Grace A. Coleman, executive director of CCN.
"Penn State Beaver has been a trusted partner of Crisis Center North for the past 14 years," Coleman said. "During this time frame, CCN has benefited from the expertise of many faculty members, including John Chapin, who evaluates the prevention, education, and medical advocacy programs; Carol Schafer, a former agency board president and a primary author of "The Other Side of the River," a fictionalized play that highlighted CCN clients' experiences with domestic violence and community support systems; and the late Pat Clemson, who provided assistance with the Western Regional Training Initiative. Additionally, the Center has benefited from the contributions of seven student interns from Beaver campus, two of whom were hired as consultants upon conclusion of their internships."
Chapin is professor of communications at Beaver campus; Schafer is associate professor of theatre, integrative arts, and women's studies, and Clemson, who died in 2010, was an instructor in information sciences and technology.

The Southington Education Foundation is inviting residents to gather in teams of three for its Adult Spelling Bee, a popular fundraiser returning for its third year.
Currently scheduled for April 4 at the Southington High School auditorium, the competition has become a major source of funds for the organization. Last year, 81 teams participated and raised $10,000.
"We've built on the numbers each year in terms of team participation and the amount of money raised," said Town Councilor Dawn Miceli, who chairs the foundation's board of directors. "If you can pull off this first year of an event like this in Southington, usually you get more public awareness."
Meteorologist Joe Furey of Fox CT News is returning as the "beemaster," while Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Erardi and Language Arts Coordinator Betsy Chester serve as judges. The teams are given easy words to start but the winning team will have to come up with the correct spelling for some highly challenging ones before the competition ends.
Last year, the trophy went to the Totally Dominant Bank Spellers, a team made up of the managers from each of the three TD Bank branches in Southington.
"Anything that benefits education in town is a natural partnership for us," said Rick Veilleux, a member of the team and of the SEF's board at large. "We were pleased with the turnout last year. It was fun being there at all, winning was just a fun way to finish."
Teams have made it a tradition to show up in costumes, although this is not a requirement. Miceli said the event was less about a high-stakes competition and more about gathering the resources needed for the foundation to continue its goal of providing unique education opportunities in Southington.
The funds raised will go towards individual grants for teachers but also a larger initiative – the planned STEM educational center at Camp Sloper that has been a goal of the foundation for years.
"It's not like a child's spelling bee where you stand up alone in the spotlight," Miceli said. "You're at a table with two of your friends or family or co-workers. There's collaboration."
Entry forms and more information can be found at the foundation's website, www.southingtoneducationfoundation.org.

The Faceless One
@MrTerrorist: In world of TAMNI, England has a different royal family, dragons, knights and many other things that England in our world doesn't have. So its history might have been different as well as the population number (maybe a large number of people migrated to England for some reason, who knows?)
In other words, it is futile to compare our world and the TAMNI version of the world. The history and the world itself have more then few differences.

However, maybe they don't try to stay secret as much as normal people don't believe in existence of magicians and espers. Index ceartanly didn't try to hide the secrets about magic to someone who has nothing to do with it. The mages also don't seem to mind casting their spells in places surrounded with normal people much either.
What I want to say is that there is no reason to criticize some points of novels because in teh world that is so and so. If England in TAMNI has greater population then in our world, then thats how it is: it is one of differences betwen our and their world.

Of course the Great Britain in Index universe has many different aspects from our Great Britain, such as different history,populations number and it is ruled by The Royal Family(along with Knight hood and the Anglican church-3 power force) not the democratic government
And the most important thing is England in Index universe didn't possessed any nuclear weapon!!!!.
P.S. Every things about the 3 power forces in Great Britain will start to be focus since Vol.7(which will be the first arc for the anime season 2)

Is their any confirmation about the 2nd season? In to aru majutsu no idex-tan they didn't even talk about it yet.
Well back to the novel being unrealistic. Its very obvious that it shouldn't be compare to real world because its a fantasy story. And whats happening inside doesn't necessarily true or exist in the real world.
and back to my question that no one answer yet. Can someone care to explain the royal family? because in the spoiler. It says that the 2nd princess attacks them and the queen looks like defend from it. And theirs aqua and touma team up together. I though aqua is an enemy.

Hmmm, judgung from plant's info I guess the next volume gonna be magic side again. And this time in Russia. Too bad, although vol 17 makes magic side much more interesting, I still prefer the esper side more(want to see the rest of the 4 level 5 power and the secret behind that man who create academy city whose name escape me right now). Oh well, I guess as long as it's still interesting any side's story will be okay.

Yea, I remember vol 15 very well lol. That was epic, but there's still 3 level 5 not told yet(two with known power, but hasn't make an appearance, 1 hasn't been mentioned at all). Yea, that's the name. The extend of his power hasn't been told yet right? Well, it seems he has some kind of connection with magic world so maybe he will be mentioned even on the magic side, but......

Magic seems overpowered. I don't see how the esper side can even keep up with them since their ability leans more on the realistic scale than magic. Of course, that is kinda of an obvious given...
What's Aqua's story or his objective anyway? And did Touma decided to help out Aqua temporarily because it was for the greater good or was it due to a critical situation of Enemy Mine scenario?
I get the gist of Aqua's powers, but I don't know any details about them (feel free to inform me, anyone). Aqua, being a person who can utilize one's Sainthood, must be divinely powerful. But what exactly is Cathena Original? Carissa isn't a Saint, no? Then I'm guessing the Cathena Original must make her something close to a deity.

Hmmm, true that magic seems way overpowered, but seeing that magic was created by people not gifted enough to learn esper power, maybe there's some tradeoff or something in using magic that's not been told yet. BTW, is the secret behind Imagine Breaker's told yet on vol 18?

Hermes Toolbox BagCategories:Other Brands
Do you want to know which Hermes bags are the most classic, iconic and hard-to-get? Well, the first step is to ready and enjoy our extremely-long Hermes Bag List article. Mark the bags down that you like the most (besides the Birkin and Kelly of course), and as final; check regularly whether these bags are available on the Hermes e-store.
You will not find your destiny with the Birkin or Kelly on the Hermes e-store, due to high demand, they will never (and probably not in the future either) sell these iconic bags on the internet.
Two weeks ago, we posted an article about the Hermes Kelly Long Wallet, this wallet is not easy to find, not even in Hermes boutique, so it was rare that we find it on the Hermes website. Naturally we informed our loyal readers and you know what happened 5 minutes after we published it on Bragmy bag andFacebook? Literally the Hermes Kelly Long Wallet disappeared from the catalogues.
You want to know why?
Because Hermes was selling in limited supply, so when everyone started to add the Hermes Kelly Long Wallet in their shopping cart, it quickly sold-out.
The Hermes Toolbox is another one 'must have' and 'not easy to get' bag. Hermes rarely post the Toolbox Bag on their website, because it's a classic bag in its own right. Orange defines the brand Hermes, so getting this colour in the Hermes Toolbox is not a bad idea at all. A few of our community also recently purchased this bag in another color:
From Rosi:
Hi, I have just bought Hermes Toolbox 26 flamingos.
From Swee:
Hello everyone, I just wanted to share that I just got my Hermes toolbox 26 and waiting for the baby to land on my lap very soon. It's a swift duo colour toolbox with lemon yellow leather on the interiors, stunning!
Because Hermes released different colors and sometimes different leathers, depending on the season, the purpose of this post is not to share about the shades. Instead, we want to give you a detailed look at the Hermes Toolbox bag – from the front to the back, the top to the bottom, and of course the inside.
The interior is made with three large inside pockets and it also comes with a shoulder strap so that you can either carry it by hand or cross body.
And the details about the Hermes Toolbox in orange:
Leather: Fire Evercolor Calfskin

Measuring 26 x 25 x 18 cm (L x H x D)
Price: €5.200 euro's or £4,920 GBP
