Suspected militants kill seven soldiers in Yemen
ADEN/SANAA – Al-Qaeda is successfully exploiting splits within Yemen's armed forces, defence minister Mohammad Naser Ahmed warned yesterday, as suspected Islamist militants killed seven soldiers in the second such attack in two days.
The Yemeni military split last year during protests against the 33-year rule of former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh, with some forces remaining loyal and others joining the opposition.
Briefing parliament on raids that have resulted in the deaths of almost 200 soldiers since Yemeni president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi took office in February, Mr Ahmed said jostling for power and logistical difficulties were helping the militants.
"The army is divided," he said. "Two legitimacies are in a struggle and we are caught between them. Each side is trying to prevail against the other and al-Qaeda is exploiting all of this."
Officials have blamed the al-Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Sharia, an Islamist militant group that controls large swathes of territory in southern Yemen, for the recent attacks.
Yesterday the defence ministry's September 26 news portal said "seven soldiers were martyred in a treacherous terrorist attack on their outpost" near the city of Shibam, in the southern Hadramout province.
Mr Ahmed said roads were cut and pointed out that Yemen's sole military transport aircraft had been sabotaged on an airbase recently, making it difficult to send arms to soldiers fighting al-Qaeda.
His ministry had devised a plan to overcome the army divisions, he said, which he hoped to implement within two weeks.
He gave no details of the plan but said he would tender his resignation if it was not implemented.
The United States and oil giant Saudi Arabia engineered the transfer of power from Mr Saleh to Mr Hadi, whose main task is to restore stability so the militants have fewer opportunities to exploit the central government's weakness. – (Reuters)

June 14, 2015 - People of Victoria - Kelly's story
This is a powerful and moving story, written by my darling friend Kelly. We went to college together, and supported one another in the gruelling program that was Applied Communication at Camosun College, in Victoria, ten years ago.
Kelly has since married and has a two-year old son, Miles. This is Kelly's story about living through postpartum depression, and like me, rising up to challenge the stigma's of mental health issues that are so prevalent in our society.
While her experience has been fraught with difficulty and the ever-familiar sense of being alone and feeling isolated, she's turned it around. Kelly is sharing her difficult story so that others may learn that they too, are not alone.
Since being posted yesterday, it has been seen by thousands of people, and has been shared several hundred times. Based on the comments being left by people reading it, Kelly is helping many strangers to not feel so alone. #notastranger
People of Victoria - Kelly
"Two years ago I had my son Miles, following a very normal pregnancy. Being pregnant was one of the happiest times of my life - I was actually euphoric! I struggled with breastfeeding and around three weeks the public health nurse convinced me to give him formula. He quickly thrived. We thought the worst of our troubles were over, except they weren't.
If he started crying inside a store, I felt I couldn't calm him. I developed anxiety about leaving the house, and began to be inside all day, watching a lot of Netflix or staring at the walls.
One night my husband came home and said, "Go and relax" and I remember sitting in the tub, twiddling my big toe on the edge of the tap thinking, "If I put him down for a nap at four o'clock and then went out to the shed and jimmied up a noose, my husband would get back in time to take care of our son. He wouldn't be alone for too long." I'd never had a thought like that before. I scored off the charts on the Edinburgh postpartum depression test with the public health nurse. She referred me to a counselor – who wouldn't be able to see me for three weeks.
When I saw the counselor, she said I would benefit from medication, but I would need to see a doctor to get a referral to a psychiatrist, because she couldn't write prescriptions. I didn't have a GP - mine had retired - so my midwife sent it in. It would take about six weeks to see the specialist. Weeks passed and I never heard from them. The psychiatrist had not received the referral. I was barely hanging on at this point.
I was having so many panic attacks. I hated myself, I was a terrible mom. Then one night, around 4AM, my husband woke up to hear me sobbing uncontrollably over the baby monitor. I couldn't wait another day, let alone those weeks. He dropped me off at the emergency room at the Jubilee.
I spent all day waiting at the hospital, and by an ironic twist of fate the psychiatrist was the one I was on the wait-list to see. She looked into my eyes, grabbed my hand and said, "We are going to make you better." What followed was varying dosages, and prescriptions til we got it right. We found I had undiagnosed bipolar disorder which had been triggered by my pregnancy, causing the euphoria and then deep depression as the hormones fell away.
Looking back on it, I feel so sad about those months. I hope my son never remembers that time. It was so dark and traumatic. I began talking to my girlfriends about what had happened and found it liberating to open up. It had not been that idyllic experience, with soft focus and glowy mother and babe time that I had expected. Being honest about it has set me free and it has also made me more empathetic to the struggles of others."

Recently, Bad Boy recording artist Machine Gun Kelly rolled his "Lace Up 2013" tour to the Theater of the Living Arts in Philadelphia. As much as I love reviewing and photographing hip-hop shows one of the things I don't like is that a lot of times I cannot keep track of who has taken the stage. It makes reviewing these shows kind of hard. Until Dub-O hit the stage it was a pretty average show. After seeing MGK in the past I knew that average wouldn't last for very long.
Let me start off by saying this show was "sold out". Rightfully so MGK has built a large fan base with his past releases and his "EST 19XX" movement. In my experience of attending shows at the TLA I can usually judge the turnout of a show and what type of show it will be from the line up of concert goers in the ally waiting to enter the venue. The "line up" ally insures that hundreds of people will not crowd South Street and allows security to keep control. With this observation it was apparent to me that a majority of MGK's fan base is both young and female!
I will say from the first opener till the beginning of MGK's set the packed house was ready for a good time. With the previous artists being standard and average halfway into the night Dub-O took the stage. Playing through a set that lasted about 25 minutes his performance was pretty good. I liked the fact that he seemed very experienced. I did notice many of the people in the crowd singing along to his songs. The highlight came
when he invited two females from the crowd on stage to grope him while he sang one of his songs. Maybe not a full grope but certainly one you would expect from a young hip-hop artist who has two pretty girls on stage with him. Dub-O did a great job working the stage and talking to the crowd. I liked his beats and his rhymes were well delivered.
Up next came headliner Machine Gun Kelly! From the drop of the first beat MGK rocked the house. With his drummer, guitarist and DJ and long time hype man Slim Jizzle, MGK ran through an hour long set that seemed to only last a few minutes. Maybe it's the energy he brings or the fact that we were again witnessing another great performance by this 22 year old rap superstar. A few minutes into his set MGK noticed a thank you sign in the crowd and stopped to talk a little about how much he appreciated everyone coming to his show and how thankful he was that all this was happening to him. After seeing him in past shows climbing the rails, raging and acting like well MGK. This time he seemed a bit more refined, with a maturity that I had not seen before. He almost seemed like he is starting to get used to being MGK and sharing with the fan base that supports him. Soon after he welcomed Slim to the stage who just like MGK really knows how to work a crowd. In reviews you don't hear much about Slim but each time I have seen MGK Slim was the backbone to the performance. He's a great artist and a amazing hype man.
As always it only took a few songs before MGK was shirtless and rocking the house with his cover of Limp Bizkit's "Rollin" for his female fans. For me it was cool to see this kid go from rookie rapper to superstar. As with every MGK performance the highlight came with his performance of "wild boy" and his visit to the crowd. Check out Machine Gun Kelly on his "Lace Up 2013" tour and at www.mgklaceup.com!

What does rooster mean?
Definitions for roosterˈru stər
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word rooster.
Princeton's WordNet
cock, rooster(noun)
adult male chicken
A male domestic fowl, Gallus gallus.
Webster Dictionary
the male of the domestic fowl; a cock
A rooster is a male gallinaceous bird. It usually refers to a male chicken. Immature male chickens less than one year old are called cockerels. The term "rooster" originates in the United States, and the term is widely used throughout North America, as well as Australia and New Zealand. In the United Kingdom and Ireland the older term "cockerel" is more commonly used. "Cock" is in general use as the name for a male of other species of bird, for example "Cock sparrow". "Roosting" is the action of perching aloft to sleep at night, and is done by both sexes. The rooster is polygamous, but cannot guard several nests of eggs at once. He guards the general area where his hens are nesting, and will attack other roosters that enter his territory. During the daytime, he usually sits on a high perch, usually 3–5 feet off the ground to serve as a lookout for his flock. He will sound a distinctive alarm call if predators are nearby.

IWC students work on catchment and aquatic ecosystem health in Gladstone
Gladstone, home to Queensland's largest multi-commodity port, is an area of significant economic growth in Australia. Much of the development in the region is related to mining, with raw commodities exported and imported into Gladstone. Recent developments such as expansion of the port facilities, and corresponding issues of the health of the harbour, have attracted significant attention politically and within the community over the past few years.
IWC students were accommodated at Boyne Island Environmental Education Centre. Through harbour and site tours, they met with local stakeholders involved in the management and monitoring of development in the region. These tours provided local context to the module's lecture content – understanding catchment and receiving water disturbances and the consequences for aquatic ecosystem health.
Guest presenters came from range of backgrounds and roles within the region, spanning Gladstone Regional Council, Gladstone Ports Corporation, Central Queensland University, Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, Gladstone Area Water Board, Infofish, Fitzroy Basin Authority, Fitzroy River and Coastal Catchments Inc, Calliope catchment sites, and Gladstone Healthy Harbours Partnership.
Dayjil Fincham, part-time student said, "Gladstone is a thriving hub of industry, agriculture, community and the environment which made it the perfect setting to gain an understanding of a management system trying to integrate these aspects in a balanced manner. The trip allowed us to observe the pressures on the system and talk to many of the stakeholders involved. The amazingly diverse and fun cohort of part-timers, full-timers and teaching staff made for an enjoyable 10 days."
Problem-Based Learning Project (PBL)
The Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership (GHHP) has been developing an ecosystem health report card to report against the Gladstone Healthy Harbour Vision. While tools like the Report Card form part of integration processes in water management, to be used they need to be both useful and usable from the perspective of the intended users.
Based on this, the IWC Masters students conducted a problem-based learning project (PBL) on implementing and using report card systems for managing ecosystem health across multiple stakeholder groups. They worked in teams to interview and survey potential users for the Report Card in and around Gladstone, then each student produced a report characterising how the Report Card is likely to be used by the different users, and providing recommendations to GHHP for strategies to improve uptake and use of the Report Card.
"Recommendations made by students will inform the range of activities that the GHHP instigates in order to build the knowledge, attitudes, skills and aspirations for a healthy harbour which will be necessary for the successful adoption and use of the Report Card", said Dr Brian McIntosh, IWC Senior Lecturer and Education Program Manager.
Catchment and Aquatic Ecosystem Health module
The Catchment and Aquatic Ecosystem Health module provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the issues and challenges relating to the sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems. The study of aquatic ecosystem health is a relatively new field that brings together biophysical understandings of how natural systems function with societal goals and human values. A major challenge for society is to satisfy the growing demands for water without degrading aquatic ecosystems and the ecological goods and services they provide.
IWC Master of Integrated Water Management
The IWC Masters program creates water leaders by drawing on international teaching and research from many fields to provide a transdisciplinary, whole-of-water-cycle approach to water management.
Scholarships for the next intake of the IWC Master of Integrated Water Management remain open until 1 October for domestic candidates (however applications are now closed for international candidates).

I am Greek and always interested in the way my country and its culture are perceived by foreign visitors. As a result, over the years, I've read many memoirs by British writers about the Greek experience. Octopus in my Ouzo is now one of my favorites. I've never read anything set on Tilos before, or on any other among the remote islands of Greece for that matter. The insights I've gained from this book are precious to me. I've been hearing all my life about the difficulties the native islanders face in places like Tilos but never had I imagined the magnitude of the hardship involved in all facets of their life – be it, when someone needs medical attention, or their car needs servicing or even when they crave, like we all do, a specific kind of food or delicacy. At some point in the book, the author's partner picks up a chocolate bar from town to treat her – things that are trivial for the rest of us, but for them they must make a significant difference in their every day lives. I was particularly impressed to read that – a precious detail in the book. Reading this memoir made me sympathize with the adorable Greek people portrayed in the book, and especially with the author who, being an outsider, kept experiencing one culture shock after another. I am married to a Brit and I know a thing or two about culture shock. I sympathized throughout with the author and her partner for this reason. The one element in the story-telling that resonated with me the most, was the upset the author experienced over and over again on a certain aspect of her life there. I won't say more on that as I hate spoilers as much as the next person, but I'll say I've also experienced this kind of upset. Reading about it meant I could feel the author's pain. It was the most palpable feeling conveyed among all the ones rising in me as I read this book, and that's saying a lot because the descriptions by this author are phenomenal, and the intense feelings just kept coming! Her accounts of the scary, adverse weather during winter were chilling, and the beauty that surrounded her became real in my heart, causing it to swell from time to time. Jennifer Barclay has a unique gift in experiencing love and beauty and sharing it with the world. She certainly touched me through the pages. An unforgettable read! I also think she's a bit of a superwoman, living fearlessly all alone in the wilderness – something I could never do, although I fully understand the merits of such a monastic, solitary existence. The delicious recipes she shares in the book by combining fresh, wholesome local ingredients were an extra bonus!

Are You Confused About…
(Shhh) Colon Cleanses?
by Michelle M Pearson
This month we are getting clear on a wide variety of wellness topics as we work our way through the series: "Are You Confused About…"
Coming up, we will have articles on Foundational Nutrition, Vitamin D, the B Vitamin family, some awesome new bio-tech research, and other related topics all month long.
(Got questions or confusing information along these lines? Ask in the comment section below and we will try to get it covered for you this month!)
If you missed the previous blog, we encourage you to go back and pick that up so you can get in on the foundation level of the series. Also, we announced as a BIG bonus that we are having TWO online webinars this month! And even bigger is that right now, for a very limited time, all the resources this month, including the online webinars are open to you free! You do have to register, so be sure to check out the last blog article for all the details! You will want to get registered ASAP! (First Come, First Served, everyone else registered in advance will get it by recording.)
Today's topic is one many have questions about and most avoid! Here are a couple of questions from the comments last week to get things moving (*wink*):
"How do herbal colon cleanses strip the gut in an unhealthy way? I guess because they are natural herbs, I thought they were safe. I have used them off and on over the past few years."
Most herbal cleanses are designed to strip away the buildup in the colon, to force elimination at a higher than normal rate, and to quickly enable to user to drop several pounds of body weight – note, that although it is from the mid-section as the GI tract empties, this weight is not body fat. The "natural" herbs are often harsh and cause cramping, diarrhea, and other unpleasant side effects. Plus, they completely neglect the 2-phase cleansing of the liver in the process.
Another reason not to use herbal colon cleanses is their effect on the seratonin levels of the body. This integral hormone helps you sleep and wake properly, contributes to emotional stability and peace, as well as affecting the immune system. And, while a healthy gut is imperative for a healthy immune system, the herbal cleanses do not use an approach that works well with the body's design and function.
A much more effective way to approach this is to re-introduce good flora into the gut system, along with L-glutamine to heal any damaged tissue. A strong healthy flora is the best way to clean out the gut and does not require replenishing the flora afterwards. Staying on a high-quality probiotic all the time eliminates the need to do the herbal cleanses.
"As for cleansing the colon, years ago some people were doing coffee enemas. Is this harmful? I prefer taking my coffee the normal way….but just curious."
Coffee enemas are useful under some circumstances to release toxins in the liver and kidneys, especially in patients with serious health concerns. In researching the topic, I found that organic fully-leaded cooled coffee enemas were actually used as part of conventional medicine up until the 1960's and included in medical treatment manuals even into the 1970's!
The mechanism at work in a coffee enema rather than drinking it orally, is connected with the way the caffeine enters the bloodstream. Taken rectally, it stimulates the lower bowels, which cause the liver to naturally cleanse. As with any treatment of this nature, it can be used inappropriately without proper guidance from a health-care practitioner. In Arkansas, as well as other states, it is not permitted for a colon hydrotherapist to administer a coffee enema directly to the patient. Patients must administer their own should they choose to use this therapy.
"About the colon and probiotics, after taking antibiotics from a doctor, do people need to take more than one probiotic per day to build up the good flora again?
That depends on the health of the patient and the type of probiotic taken. Many people think that consuming yogurt will suffice or an old fashioned acidophilus capsule would be enough. In today's mealplace, one's exposure to untold numbers of bacteria, virus, microbes, etc can easily overwhelm even a healthy gut. Using a high powered quality multi-strain probiotic is a must – in all countries, not just when traveling abroad or out of your local areas.
After antibiotic use, an increased dose is warranted and the level would depend on the strength and duration of the round of antibiotic used. For example, IV antibiotics can be altogether more destructive to gut flora that a 5-day round for a minor infection. When in doubt, again, consult with a well-versed physician, like Dr. Ray, if you do not have one already. Easy questions like that can be answered quickly with a proper history and good patient-physician relationship.
"How long does it take to rebuild good flora after taking antibiotics? Should a person currently taking antibiotics continue to take the probiotic? Also, I would think the medication given for a colonoscopy test would take away good flora as well? If so, would building back up be the same as after taking antibiotics?"
See answer above, but to add in a bit for the last part, we generally suggest a patient stop the probiotics during antibiotic use and resume immediately afterward. There are of course exceptions to this on a case by case basis, as some patients have such adverse reactions to multiple medical procedures that continued probiotic use is imperative. Another wise thing is to request from your MD to be allowed to continue probiotic use during hospital stays to help the immune system fight off and prevent the common staph and strep infections.
That's a wrap for today! As a reminder, we have coming up tonight a webinar on the B-vitamins family – why, what, how, and more! And then, next Monday! A live webinar and videos about some extraordinary new research about essential fats and oxygen and how it can be ignited by a new a breakthrough new supplement that boosts your body's natural communication – called redox signaling! BE HERE for that!But you have to register for The Joshua Groups to be invited!
(Sneak preview on that: When I recently tested this revolutionary new product, I doubled daily and weekly my training mileage in preparation for our Mt Kilimanjaro climb in just 8 days! Double miles in just eight days, now I am at nearly three times the miles in just three weeks. Did TEN miles yesterday. And still going stronger than I ever have at nearly 49 years old. Tune in all month for testimonies from our clients who are also benefiting in BIG ways!)
Know someone who is struggling with some health problems?
Of course you do!
Seriously, now is the time to share this with them.

There may be a big change in the system of salary revision of Bank Employees in the near future as the government has hinted that they are going to allow the banks to decide salaries of their staff as per the choice of individual banks.
The finance ministry is all set to change the decades-old practice of uniform wage increases for nearly 10 lakh staff and has permitted 26 lenders to provide salary raises based on performance. However trade unions of the banks will now decide on this move of the government.
Rajiv Takru, secretary (financial services), told bank chiefs at a meeting that they are free to provide increases provided they have been performing well. But weak banks have been ordered to limit increments to about 10% as the pile of bad loans may not justify a steeper increase. This information has been revealed by the chairmen of a bank who has attended the meet but did not want to be identified.

What we have here is the Mirage GT package created by Gemballa for the Porsche Carrera GT. The vehicle comes with an uprated 5.7-liter V10 engine outputting 650 bhp and a maximum torque of 630 Nm. The additional oomph has enabled the vehicle to be 0.2 seconds quicker in the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) which is now accomplished in just 3.7 seconds. The German supercar will complete the 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) task in 9.7 seconds and will keep on accelerating until it hits a top speed in excess of 208 mph (335 km/h).
The car was built in 2005 and since then it has been driven for just 19,500 km (12,117 miles). Gemballa installed 19-inch alloys at the front and 20-inch rims at the back, as well as four plasma-coated tailipipes, a carbon fiber diffuser, rearview camera and an electrohydraulic lifting system.

In Memory of
Robert S. Keyser
May 7, 1940 - April 23, 2013
Wally Keyser was born May 7, 1940 in Seattle, WA, and passed away April 23 of natural causes. Wally graduated from Roosevelt High in 1958 and the University of Washington in 1969. He served in the U.S. Army as a Chaplain's Assistant in Vietnam. He was an accountant for a private CPA firm and later for Butterworth's Funeral Home. His father, Robert J. Keyser, preceded him in death. His mother Edith Keyser, his sister Carol Freeman, and his brother-in-law Robert Freeman, all of Portland, OR survived Wally. He was very proud of his nephews Eric Freeman of Seattle and Craig Freeman of Portland, and his grandnephews Alex (15) and Jake (12) of Seattle, as well as Luke (2) and grandniece Annika, who was born on April 19, 2013, of Portland. Wally enjoyed many Little League baseball, basketball, and football games in Seattle, always marveling at the spirit and talent of the young athletes, and delighted in watching his youngest grandnephew navigate his newest adventures with gusto and smiles.
Wally was generous and kind, a friend to all. He lived nearly his entire life in the Laurelhurst neighborhood and was a fixture in that community, greeting neighbors, offering a helping hand, and watching out for everyone. He was nominated by area residents and recognized in 1998, 1999, and 2006 with the "Good Neighbor Award." He was a faithful supporter of the University of Washington, Children's Hospital, and Northwest Hospital, and was dedicated to improving and preserving Seattle Parks.

One of the biggest eye sores was this retaining wall in the front. Curb appeal = zero.
A coat of fresh paint works wonders though, let me tell you!
My mom helped a ton by working on what we called a yard. When I walk outside and see plants, I'm still a little shocked. "Whose house is this?? How did I get here?"
We're in the middle of a HARDCORE DROUGHT so a lawn was never going to be an option. I think the bark really gives it a nice finish. Wait, whose yard is this though? It's much too nice to be mine…
The kitchen, which you may remember from my first cabinet repainting post. Completely re-staged by my mom, who is amazing at these things.
This is the guest bedroom. Which used to be a multi-use shipping department/office/guest room. Didn't clean up too badly though.
Should I really post a picture of our office space? I guess I may as well since all of these pics are already online for the real estate listing. haha At least it's somewhat tidy.
Bathroom 1 was recently completely remodeled and I have to admit, will be the hardest to leave when we move because it's just such a beautiful space.
The master bathroom, which you just saw in my previous post where I repainted the cabinet.
The master bedroom underwent a few different transformations as we prepared for the open houses. In the end, we got rid of most of the furniture even though it's a very large room.
And the living room. You can probably tell I like green. A lot. The new house is going to have an entirely different color palette though, and I can't wait to get in there and paint it all. There will be pictures. Lots of them.
Hope you enjoyed this brief home tour!


text: I have lost 37 pounds. The information on this blog will give you Free Fast Weight Loss Tips so you can do the same. I started to take my weight loss seriously on July 11, 2010. Today is October 10, my weight is 205 pounds. So how did I do it? First I started taking my supplements. Now, if you are like me then you probably thinking …supplements do not work! Well I thought the same thing too. But I started with a great deal of not believing that they would work and to my surprise after I lost 7 pounds with in 2 weeks. I said WOW! You you will too. The two supplements I started taking are Body Fit Weight Loss Capsules and Stress, Balance and Energy.

Another update: I contacted a couple of "narrow fabric mills" in the US. They can make 18mm width cotton webbing as thick or thin as I want, in any weave and colour. But . . . "we would have to produce perhaps 7,000 to 8,000 yards." (7000 yards is about 4 miles.)
Next step: cutting up some WW2 bags . . . . I'll keep you posted.
Incidentally, my wife thinks I've finally lost the plot and suggested I should be making straps for a straightjacket. I might yet.


text: AUGUSTA, Ga. - Eugenia Toole, the third child and only daughter of Frances Ray Greiner and William Franklin Toole, grew up in Augusta where she graduated from Tubman High School in 1945. She began her career as a musician early, serving as organist at Trinity-on-the-Hill Methodist Church at the age of twelve. She graduated from Wesleyan Conservatory in Macon, Magna Cum Laude, in 1949 with a double degree in piano and organ. She then returned to Augusta where she established a piano studio, participated in establishing the music department at Augusta College, and accompanied the newly-formed Augusta Choral Society. She began further music studies at Yale and Julliard during the summers, and enrolled at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York in 1958. A student of Dr. David Craighead, Eugenia received her M.M. one year later, with a double major in organ and music literature. She then enrolled in the doctoral program at Union Theological Seminary's School of Sacred Music. At that time she also became the organist at Long Island's Congregational Church of Manhasset. Eugenia concertized extensively throughout the New York area, accompanied professional singers from the Metropolitan Opera, and was recognized in multiple ways as one of the outstanding young organists of the time. She "broke the stained glass ceiling" when she was appointed as the organist of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, the first woman to serve a major New York church in that capacity. In 1968 Eugenia married the Rev. Mortimer W. Glover. When Mortimer became rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in New Harmony, Indiana, Eugenia established and organized the New Harmony Festival of Music, bringing international and local artists to perform in what grew to be an annual concert series. For her efforts, Eugenia received an "Outstanding Contribution in Music" award from the governor of Indiana. Throughout this time Eugenia continued to pursue her now-global concert career. The Glovers returned to Augusta in 1989, where Eugenia served as president of the Augusta Opera Guild, secretary of the Augusta Symphony Guild, dean of the American Guild of Organists Augusta Chapter, assistant director of the Augusta Collegium Musicum, and Director of Music at St. Augustine's Episcopal Church. At her retirement from St. Augustine's, Mayor Deke Copenhaver declared May 15th, 2011 as "Eugenia Toole Glover Day" in Augusta. Eugenia is survived by her brothers, Michael Greiner Toole of Montgomery, Alabama and Boston, Massachusetts, and William Francis Toole of Augusta; by two nephews, William Robert Toole and McDonald Michael Toole; great-niece Lauren Toole and great-nephews Michael and Colin Toole. Through her brother William Toole's marriage to Bertha Lee Battey, Eugenia acquired seven additional nieces and nephews as well. The family wishes to acknowledge and thank the many and great friends who have cared for Eugenia over the years, especially Kathy Clark, Barbara Hancock, Helen Howard and Claire Murray. The family will receive guests at home on Sunday afternoon. Private burial in Westover Cemetery will be followed by a memorial service and reception at St. Augustine's Episcopal Church, 3321 Wheeler Road, at 11:30 Monday, November 7th. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts in Eugenia's name may be made to the music fund of St. Augustine's Episcopal Church or to Historic Augusta, Inc., 415 Seventh Street, P.O. Box 37, Augusta, Georgia 30903-0037. Please sign the guestbook and send condolences at www.plattsfuneralhome.com PLATT'S FUNERAL HOME 721 CRAWFORD AVENUE June 18, 1928-November 4, 2011

The traditional four questions of the Seder service were supplemented in a bulletin issued by the Jewish Welfare Board for circulation among junior and intermediate groups of Y.M.H.A.'s and Jewish Community Centers.
In accordance with current interest in questioning, the Jewish Welfare Board has issued the bulletin under the title "Fifty Questions" on Passover." The questions aim at familiarizing the youth with the facts concerning the historical significance and the observance of the Passover festival.
The Jewish Welfare Board has also issued a Passover cross-word puzzle and a comprehensive bulletin containing an outline of the historical and ceremonial significance of the festival.
Seder services for Jewish students at Cornell University will be arranged by the United Synagogue of America.
Usually the spring vacation at Cornell corresponds with the Passover holiday. This gave the Jewish students an opportunity to return to their homes for the holiday. This year the two do not coincide. The Jewish population in Ithaca is too small to provide for the 500 Jewish students at Cornell.

Not terribly long ago, the theory among health care providers as well as many friends and family members of mothers-to-be was that your pregnancy was a time to take it easy on the fitness routine and enjoy a phase of relative couch-potato-dom.
However, more current studies reveal that it is not only perfectly safe to keep up a regular exercise plan, but that it is important to bust the myths about supposed dangers associated with exercising while pregnant.

VERGENNES — On Monday nights at 6 p.m., the yoga studio at Two Wolves Center on Main Street in Vergennes looks predictably like any other yoga class — at least at first glance.
Exposed brick walls, quiet music, and colorful yoga mats create an ambiance of serenity. Attendees saunter in and find a place on the floor.
A closer look at the participants, however, reveals what makes Monday nights at Two Wolves special: this is a prenatal yoga class, the participants are all pregnant women.

Hi All,
I wanted to introduce myself and let everyone know of a hobby of mine that involves old school hip hop songs.
Firstly, I go by this handle "APH" and am longtime hip hop fan from the NYC area. I am more of a "golden age hip hop" fan but I like the earlier stuff and certainly appreciate the history behind it. As far as pre 1985 music, I especially like electro sound and am also a big fan of Whodini's first few records. My favorite mid 80s act would be Mikey D and The L.A. Posse; I am especially fond of Paul C. McKasty's production work.
As far as my hobby, it's more like a side project of late - I have been transcribing the lyrics to older hip hop songs on genius.com - I am a volunteer contributor and anyone can sign up and pitch in over there. Genius does not have a huge community of late 70s/early 80s rap fans, so while the site does have many contributors, this is one area they are lacking. First I'm trying to knock out this list: https://genius.com/Ego-trip-magazine-hip-hops-greatest-singles-by-year-lyrics. After those songs are complete, I'll move onto transcribing the Wild Style battles. One cool thing about genius.com is that they allow for the transcription and annotation of things like freestyles...So eventually I'll try to transcribe what's possible from old records and tapes - things that predate 1979... They already have some historical transcriptions, for instance Kool Moe Dee's lines that he used against Busy Bee at Harlem World in 1981: https://genius.com/Kool-moe-dee-battle-w-busy-bee-harlem-world-1981-lyrics. So feel free to check it out and join the effort if you're so inclined!

Surface Area to Volume Ratio
Surface area: volume ratio crops up in many exam questions. They can be questions relating to trees, plants, fish or mammals. The question will be about the size/shape of the particular organism or how its size/shape is adapted to its usually adverse surroundings.
Exchange In Organisms
A small organism, like an amoeba, has a large surface area: volume ratio and so it can take all the oxygen it needs by diffusion across the body surface. However, a large organism, like a mammal, has a much smaller surface area: volume ratio, so it cannot get all the oxygen it needs in this way. (A large surface area: volume ratio is preferable for carrying out exchange of substances). Such large organisms need special respiratory organs such as lungs for taking in oxygen.
Heat and water loss
Heat/water loss is affected by surface area: volume. In large organisms heat/water loss is less than in small organisms. This is because the organism has longer pathways and longer distances, probably more insulation so it is harder for the heat to escape. Conversely, in smaller organisms heat/water loss is greater than in large organisms. The organism has much shorter pathways; all its internal organs are closer to the surface and have less insulation.
Calculating the ratio
Large Mammals have difficulties regulating body temperature in hot climates due to:
Blood vessels near the surface of the skin help to regulate body temperature by:
The importance of a larger body size and mass to mammals in colder climates are:
Fish Gas Exchange
Structure of Respiratory Surfaces
Fish Ventilation
Ventilation in Mammals
Very small organisms such as those consisting of a single cell, have no special tissues, organs or systems for gaseous exchange. Mammals are large, multi cellular organisms and they have a complex system for gaseous exchange. Mammals needs such a system single celled organism does not.

Since the financial crisis erupted in 2009, it would appear that Spanish banks saw the writing on the wall early on. Following the path laid out by their American cousins, the following chart suggests that en masse a decision was made that bigger was better (and safer) as the Too Big To Fail model was clearly the industry standard. From 50 major entities, the Spanish banking system is now dominated (well pre-total collapse that is) by 14 considerably larger firms. This is about the most literal definition of the old saying: "TBTF or bust." Although in this case it is "and"... Because the bigger the firm, the more systemically entwined it becomes and the less capable the government is of letting any pain actually occur... quite remarkable. How long before there is just one big Spanish bank? (bad bank, worse bank, worst bank, all coming soon).
And in the funniest news of the day, we now learn from Reuters that after over a month of begging, the Spanish Bad Bank, or SAREB, has finally found its first foreign investor: that pinnacle of UK bank solvency and integrity - Barclays.
Britain's Barclays will invest in Spain's so-called 'bad bank' as a signal of its commitment to helping fix the country's banking troubles, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday.
Unclear how long until the SAREB is forced to repay the favor and invest money into Barclays. In the current ponzinomic global house of card, it won't be too long.

working hard for making a good weather station. There are many
economical ideas such as: 1Wire weather Station, detailed elsewhere on
this site. However, when it comes to display weather data on LCD, it
gets though.
In view to make my own
economical but advanced weather station, I decided to build this one
based on a design by David Andersen
who holds a copy write on design but he is graceful to us (Radio
Amateurs) & have granted to use his firmware for amateur radio
non-commercial use.
As usual, as I was going to
build this project, I wanted to make few more PCBs and make kits
available for others, who cant do this project themselves. David
was kind enough to grant me permission to make kits available on
non-profit bases for radio amateurs. With this, I got enough
enthusiasm to go ahead and make this wonderful weather station.
Tough time came when I started
looking for Maxim chips & sensors. With the kind help of my friend
Frank/K7SFN I was able to complete
this project and have few more as spare for others.
This is a PIC project, designed
on a PTH Double Sided Board measuring 14 x 9 CM. 4x20 LCD is supplied
with back light. In future there will be an option to get kits with
Blue or Green display.
Weather Station Interfaces to:
This weather station works perfectly
with 1Wire Wind Unit from AAG (Version 3). The new version AAG wind unit
WS603 has not been tested yet.

Thisprovision prohibits someone in the U.S. from "knowingly" export to aforeign government end-user (*any* foreign government, not just T-7.)This is of course idiotic, since it just takes someone *else* in thatcountry downloading the stuff and giving to their government -- or thegovernment getting an ISP account making them look like someone else.Whomever does that would be breaking U.S. law, but that's meaninglesssince they're outside U.S. jurisdiction.[N.B.: I'm not a lawyer.

Good Questions: Where Can I Donate Furniture Quickly?
I requested that the Salvation Army pick up some furniture on Wednesday but haven't received any confirmation. I'm in Pacifica and have to be in Illinois on Friday, and have no place for furniture there. Any ideas?
First, we'd contact the Salvation Army to see if you can find out whether they've scheduled the pick-up.
If they haven't, then here are a couple of ideas:
• Pick of the Litter, Burlingame
• Uhuru
• Out of the Closet
• The "free" section of Craigslist
• Freecycle
Anyone else?

Philadelphia -- True Value Co. CEO Lyle Heidemann presented some positive numbers during the co-op's Fall Market general session, as he encouraged members to remain visible to their customers.
Speaking here Friday morning at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, site of the company's fall market, Heidemann pointed to positive recent sales gains across the co-op. Since the third week of May -- a starting point selected because it was the beginning of this year's delayed spring -- retail sales are up 4.3% at True Value, with every department positive, he said.
He also addressed the four topics that are resonating across the country with dealers -- the economy, gross margin, national advertising and sales growth.
• The economy: He pointed to macroeconomic forecasts -- GDP to grow 1.9%, home improvement industry sales to grow 1.8% and hardware industry sales to grow 2.8%. "While these may not feel like great numbers, they are consistent with this year's forecast and better than we've seen the past few years," Heidemann said.
• Gross margin: Pressures on gross margin continue, he said. The co-op said it planned to reduce the member cost on more than 500 items by an average of 9.1%.
• National advertising: Heidemann described several changes in the co-op's national advertising strategy. True Value intends to increase its digital marketing in an effort to attract younger consumers. The co-op's television ads will feature its retailers inviting consumers to shop True Value. In addition, the co-op's paint advertisement reimbursement will increase to 75%, up from 50%.
• Sales growth: True Value has seen four consecutive quarters of sales increases and a 2.9% annual growth rate. Heidemann promoted the Destination True Value concept as a growth vehicle for the members and the co-op. "Not only are the DTV stores outperforming the non-DTV stores, they're 'way' outperforming the industry and the economy," he said.
On the show floor in Philadelphia, the co-op unveiled a small-format DTV store measuring 5,270 sq. ft. -- half the size of a medium DTV format, with about 75% of the SKUs.
"The purpose of this small store is to show you how the DTV principles can be adapted in a small store and to start you thinking about remodeling your current store," Heidemann said.
True Value expects to add more than 1.1 million DTV square footage in 2011, a 25% increase over last year.
"While the economy will probably still be a challenge in 2012, I believe we can control our destiny," Heidemann said.


text: I have just gotten a pair of MB Quart DSC213 to enhance the front image of my system. I currently have a Kicker 15 powered by a Power Acoustik LT1440, and 4 Pioneer 6x9's powered by a Power Acoustik LT960/4. Im adding the MB Quarts in the front and removing the highs and high-mids from the front 6x9's, but Im wondering if I should just power the MBs with the head unti or buy a small amp?

Good thing Bruce Wayne can take care of himself.
Batman: Arkham City retains the same formula as Arkham Asylum, but finds a way to ramp it up considerably. For one, the claustrophobic confines of the island madhouse are replaced with a couple miles of city blocks to zipline, glide and otherwise travel through. The new real estate offers loads of new spaces to explore, including old factories, subway tunnels and other areas claimed by Gotham's elite class of criminals.
Each area has its own villain-specific look and is absolutely stunning, combining just the right amount of comic book flair and personality with a dark, edgy atmosphere. I can't begin to tell you how much time I spent ziplining around the city just to look at all of the smaller details, including a few really neat Easter Eggs and narrative elements for sharp-eyed Bat-fans. Whatever gaps are left missing by the visuals are filled by the soundtrack, which is reminiscent of the grand overtones of Tim Burton's Batman films or Batman: The Animated Series.
Character animations are nearly flawless. Batman glides between movements with heavy, acrobatic grace. Even low-level thugs look really cool in motion, especially during oh-so-sweet slow motion close-ups of the final, knockout blow. Voicework adds to the character's overall appeal. Kevin Conroy, the ONLY voice of Batman (sorry Bale), is absolutely amazing and backed by a star-studded cast that includes Mark Hamill as Joker, Nolan North as Penguin, Grey DeLisle as Catwoman and Stana Katic as Talia al Ghul. The only missing piece is Arleen Sorkin as Harley Quinn, but Tara Strong does a great job covering the role.


text: Browne's Hospital was founded and built in 1475 by wool merchant William Browne for 10 poor men and 2 poor women with a Warden and Confrater to look after their spiritual needs. There are now 13 residents in houses re-built in 1870 around a beautiful cloister garden. The medieval parts of the Hospital are open to the public at weekends during the summer months and at other times guided tours can be arranged by telephoning 01780 763153 or 01780 763746. The Hospital has famous medieval stained glass in the Chantry Chapel and elsewhere, and many original furnishings.

Edmonton police and fire services were busy on Sunday morning responding to another report of a suspicious package.
This time, a black toolbox with the word "poison" was discovered under a bench on the west side of the Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre around 10:45 a.m. Police and fire services were called to the scene.
The package was eventually determined to be a commercial grade external mouse trap.
