Silas Oppermann (MOZART), Lukas Oppermann (SCHWARZENEGGER), Kathi Krakowitzer (VON TRAPP), Delegation Managers (Munich, Germany) – Our delegation managers will meet us at the airport when we land and will be with us for the entirety of our trip. They will travel with us and stay in the hotels with us. The advantage of having a ground crew is having a local who knows the ins and out of the country we are in. Our partners in Austria have been doing this for a long time and will take great care of our group.
A NOTE FROM SILAS, LUKAS, AND KATHI – Dear members of the SAW Team USA for the United World Games! First of all, let me congratulate you on representing your country in Europe. We will be your delegation managers during your awesome trip to Austria, Germany and Italy. We will be the first Europeans to greet you at the airport when you guys fly in and the last ones to say good-bye! We are working for the United World Games office over here in Europe and have already taken care of many awesome US delegations. I am sure you guys are even cooler than the rest! 😉 Our role as delegation manager is to ensure the quality of the trip and of all services (hotels, restaurants, guides etc.) but most importantly to make sure you guys are having the best time ever! Please keep in mind that we are not tourist guides, so we might not immediately have an answer to all of your tourist questions (even though we happen to be quite bright!). We will wait for you at the baggage claim area in Munich. I can't wait to meet all of you over here in Europe! See you soon, Silas, Lukas, and Kathi
Parents – In addition to our Staff, Coaches, and Delegation Managers, we will also have a good number of parents of our athletes travelling with us. While they have no duties other that to enjoy themselves, they will be able to assist in some chaperoning of the teams. About 50% of our athletes will travel with family and 50% will travel alone.

KINGMAN – The Kingman Academy High School baseball team is well aware of the fact it will face No. 2-seed Willcox today at 6:30 p.m. in the first round of the 2A State Championship. While the No. 15-seeded Tigers are no doubt the underdogs, they're embracing that role and are poised for an upset win at Goodyear Baseball Complex.
"Baseball is a lot more mental," said Academy's Kannon Butler. "The team who plays cleaner usually wins. We play on a lot more level ground as far as the seeds go and we truly believe that. We're pretty confident in our abilities going into state. Seeding doesn't matter to us. We'll see what we can do."
The Tigers proved what they could do in their regular-season finale by knocking off Parker to win their first 2A West Region title. That victory was great, but Academy doesn't want that to be the end of their success this season.
"We don't want to be satisfied with just winning the region," Academy's Bradley Hecker said. "We want to go make some noise at state and keep the momentum rolling. This is big – it's our first opportunity since I've been in high school. We don't want to just get a postseason berth. We want to see if we can win a game or two."
Hecker will be instrumental in whether the Tigers can pick up a victory as he'll start on the mound today against a Cowboys team that finished 13-2 overall and 10-2 in the 2A East Region. Willcox has three batters hitting over .400, but the team only has one home run on the year.
Academy also has three batters hitting over .400 led by Donny Tatham's .471 average with 33 RBIs and two home runs. The Tigers have recently found their stride at the plate and head coach Bill McCord knows that needs to continue today.
"We just have to come out and play our game," McCord said. "If we come out hitting like we've been hitting lately in the last few games – we're hitting the ball really well – hopefully we can rattle this team."
That will be a difficult task though, as the Cowboys advanced to last year's 2A State title game where they lost 9-2 to Phoenix Christian. But the Tigers are keeping a positive attitude and know they have a shot at the upset.
"We've played some really solid teams this year," Tatham said. "We have a good chance. We just have to play our best."

Air Conditioning
Air Conditioning Thermostats
The technology that cools our most important living spaces is complex, but it's all controlled by one integral component—the thermostat. It's an important role to play; after all, if your thermostat malfunctions, there will be no signal sent to your AC system to tell it to start cooling or heating. That could mean no cool or warm air when you need it most.
Depending on the age of your system, there are two basic types of thermostat: electro-mechanical and digital. Their role is the same—controlling your system to deliver the exact room temperature you desire—but their operation is different. Digital thermostats are also now available with Internet connectivity, offering a whole new level of comfort and convenience.
If your thermostat is acting up—or the time has come to install a new one—all you have to do is set up an appointment with your local ARS®/Rescue Rooter® air conditioning specialist. We can answer any questions you have about your AC system and how to get the best out of it.

The concept of Religion is this- lets worship this god that no one has ever seen, heard, or felt. Lets listen to these men who claim they have heard god. These men say we can only do certain things and live a certain way, but these men are special they do not have to follow these rules.(Prophets being polygamist)
How can this be logical. Religion prevents us from living life the way we want to. It was a system that men used to gain power and brainwash the dumb. Religion is stopping us from making scientific advances. It is sad that a majority of Americans believe Noah's Ark, Creationism, and the Parting of the Red Sea actually happened. This is proof that Religion is stopping the prevail of truth, knowledge, and logic.
A significant percentage of the religious people believe in messenger of god, someone who 'heard god' . So it is untrue that they believe in the concept of religion, which according to the pro is - 'no one has ever heard god'.
Science tells us that certain things can only be done in certain way(s). A sportsman takes a certain diet to perform better. A regulated and disciplined man can achieve his full potential. If we fall for the desire of 'life we want to live' , how can we achieve the more desirable and meaningful goals of life that require patience and self restraint. A religion may act as a guide to the man in distress, it gives him hope. An animal does what he feels like, by the sheer animal instinct and see, they have yet to step on the moon.
Also, many religions do not have any prophet(s), so he should opt for a statement that applies to all religions. In round 1 he has mentioned the word 'religion' not christianity. So, I see no point in defending a particular religion.
I wonder if pro has no argument for why atheism is logical.
The life expectancy of theists is more than atheists. They give more donations for a noble cause and tend to be less self centric.
The greatest achievements in science belong to an era when there were fewer atheists than today. It can not be denied that majority of the most knowledgeable and well informed people are religious.
Religions have long sustained our values and culture. In fact, every wonder worth watching was inspired by a particular religious belief.
Lack of belief in god is saying that there is no meaning to life. Everything is subject to death, sooner or later . There are a so many conclusions about life, values, morality, justice and more and all are negative if you base them on atheistic thought. As a result, when a person faces difficulties he is more prone to despair and hence higher suicide rates.
Compared to their religious counterparts, they seldom doubt their position despite the overwhelming evidence that there are only a few things randomness can do.
Have any of you had a randomly prepared breakfast, I am sure the answer is no.
What was the last film that strengthened your belief in god? They are more likely to be stuffed with mutations and extra terrestrials.
Mocking the culture and beliefs of religious people on their face has become a status symbol of atheists.
Has any theist studied all religions in full details? Heck, they have not even heard of many and know little to nothing about rest of them.
You can not achieve your full potential if you take something for granted. Life is everything, every single thing that matters to us is based upon it. The existence of God makes you special. You are not a bundle of molecule processors but a human being.
Atheists tend to be more restless. Their viewpoint is in complete contrast to their intuition.
You might have noticed that atheists challenge theists from time to time, they flood the religious discussion. They don't lack the belief in god, they disbelief in god, that's why they care about it so much. After all, there seem to be more atheists compared to theists discussing or more should I say denying the existence of god.
Their childish arguments include the evil in our world (which can be explained by free will and the importance of morality), paradoxical nature of god ( they won't talk about quantum science) and why they can't see/hear god.
Our five senses have narrow bandwidths, so we can't perceive infinity, that's why.
Why does God watches us suffering doing nothing? - god is everywhere, it is there in us. When you are suffering - god is suffering too.
Why should I worship a god - Being grateful can cure rather incurable disease. It can mentally heal you and that's the point of thanksgiving. We are grateful to someone who suffers for us.
Atheists are ungrateful for life itself. Why would they believe in morality - I don't know.
The entire premise of why we should abandon our faith is based on the misunderstanding that earlier civilizations were backward and modern world is the most advanced one. Yet, as the modern science progresses, it gets clear to us that the condition required for life are non existent anywhere in this universe.

I have 6 assertions about the absurdity of life without God:
1.) If life and the universe come to an end, then they are without ultimate meaning.
2.) Even if life went on forever, it would be meaningless without God.
3.) If saints and sinners all end up in the same grave, then there is no practical reason for each of us to act morally. We don"t necessarily benefit ourselves by acting morally.
4.) Without God, objective moral values do not exist.
5.) If life and the universe come to an end, then they are without ultimate purpose.
6.) Even if life went on forever, it would still be purposeless without God, for it would be the result of cosmic accidents.

Reasons for voting decision: Pro does not really prove why atheism is logical. S/he is mainly focused on explaining why religion is ILLOGICAL despite the fact that the name of the debate is "Atheism is logical" not "Religion is illogical." Pro's arguments such as "Atheism is logical because it is illogical to believe in the fairy tale story" is illogical itself. Just because one thing is illogical does not mean that it's opposite is inherently logical. Pro does not clearly tell us why atheism is more logical than religion. All s/he is advocating is that atheism is logical simply because religion is illogical. Although neither Pro or Con provided any sources, I have researched some of Con's claims and some of them have been scientifically proven such as religious people generally having longer lifespans. Pro seemed to insult religious people in his/her arguments by supposedly stating that if you are religious you are inherently illogical. In the end, my vote goes to Con.

Reasons for voting decision: Con wins. Pro's argument is that since religion is irrational, then non-religion (atheism) is rational. Con sufficiently casts doubt upon the first premise, and shows that religion may be rational from some peoples' perspective. I'd also like to point out that Pro's argument is in fact invalid. Just because poop stinks, it does not follow that non-poop does not stink.

On the other hand, if you are internally disturbed and agitated, even if the most delicious food is laid out on the table in front of you, you will not enjoy it. You may hear pleasant things, but they will bring you no joy. So depending on whether your mind is disciplined or not, you will experience happiness or suffering."

The tragic events in the Syrian city of Aleppo are having a significant impact on the rest of the world (at least they should). We have no shortage of misfortune and sorrow on this earth. Even TV commercials convey those sad facts to us.
Every day we see images of mistreated animals, hospitalized children, and heartbroken parents. There are constant pleas from benevolent organizations asking for help in the fight against cancer, aids, and world hunger. Terror attacks and inner-city shootings just add to the despair we often feel.
The Aleppo tragedy seems to encapsulate all of human suffering for us. I suppose this is, in part, due to the season in which it has come to a climax. But no matter when things like this occur, they are stark reminders of humanity's inhumanity to humanity.
"You've been living in an ivory tower…"
If you haven't seen pictures of the orphaned children of Aleppo, you've been living in an ivory tower somewhere (without satellite). The city looks like the aftermath of an apocalyptic battle scene. The devastation is unspeakable.
Forces have been fighting for control of Aleppo over the past four years. Cease-fires don't seem to work, and the citizenry is caught in the middle. It's painful to look merely at the photos. Actually being there must be agonizing. The people survive day-by-day in fear for their safety and often without access to some of the staples of life.
In situations like these, the question is often asked, "Where is God in all of this?" Indeed. Where is God? How can he allow so much suffering? Why doesn't he simply snuff out the bad guys?
"Jesus came to save us from ourselves…"
I suppose the largest deterrent to God not snuffing out the bad guys is really simple. All of us are the bad guys. When approached on the subject, Jesus said, "No one is good but God." (Mark 10:18) The fact of the matter is that's why Jesus had to come. We always depersonalize it somewhat by saying Jesus came to save us from our sin. That's true enough. But it could also be stated this way: Jesus came to save us from ourselves.
Aleppo is another example of what human beings are capable of when they are out of God's will. Jesus not only came to die for our sin, he came to show us a better way to be—a better way to live.
In the book of Judges, there is a statement that has always haunted me. It says that in those days, "everyone did what was right in their own eyes." (Judges 21:25) The every-man-for-himself attitude will always result in the eventuality of tragedies like Aleppo.
Some may say that Christmas is a lousy time to have to watch the devastation in Syria. Actually, if we have to see it at all, Christmas is probably the best time. At least at Christmas, we seem to be more attuned to the needs of others. May we begin to do what is right in Christ's eyes rather than our own.

On Monday our boys basketball team played a home game against Mulcahy Middle School from Tulare and beat them 46-19. The boys played good defense especially in the second half. They didn't allow Tulare to get open looks. Kaleb Salazar had 8 points and 5 steals with 3 assists while Adam Daguman had 6 points. It was Tony Fusco who led the team with 9 points all coming from 3 pointers. Josh Post and Jesus Ibarra also had 3 points. Today the Hawks continue the playoffs at SCCA playing against Alpine Vista in the semi and if they win they will play in Championship game today as well.
In soccer, the Lady Hawks' season came to an end Monday losing in penalty kicks to Wilson Middle School of Exeter. The Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first 10 minutes of the game with goals by Adriana Martinez and Zaynah Ceballos and it looked like they would cruise to the win. However, a penalty in the box and a foul just outside the box allowed Wilson to tie the game 2-2. After regulation, both teams went 7 deep in penalty kicks and the Hawks came up short.

Glenda Guest looks the cute, affable grandmother that everyone would like to have. But she is more than that – her first-ever book, Siddon Rock, recently won the Best First Book prize at the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. The subject of her book is quite topical – how new faces are received in traditionally-closed communities. The fact that she received her prize in New Delhi makes it even more topical, given the fact that Indian migrants are facing some horrifying moments the Down Under. Guest speaks with Deccan Herald's Utpal Borpujari on her book, the attacks on Indians in her country, and how culture can play a role in bringing communities closer:
Why do you think your book has been appreciated so much?
It is part of my PhD on creative writing. It's always really interesting for a writer to have the ability to dig underneath the surface and expose what is underneath. It's set in a small Western Australia town at about mid last century after the War, when we had a lot of Europeans and Americans coming in. What I wanted to expose was several things at different levels. One was what effect migrations have on small communities. I am really interested in the dynamics of closed communities, and what happens when somebody from another culture brings in their stories into the closed communities. It also has to do with my interest in magic realism. Salman Rushdie was a key model, somebody who I really had a liking for, particularly in his early works. And also it's about what happens to stories in a closed community. But I was stunned and absolutely overwhelmed at the reception it has got. I had never even dreamt that anything I write would be accepted at such levels.
This has been your first visit to India. What has been your experience?
Overwhelming, though I feel very distressed to see the poor people, especially the children on the roadside. But I also understand the problem – so many people, where would you start? The whole of Australia's population is a couple of millions more than that of New Delhi. So it's just overwhelming. I think there is a logic in this chaos that I saw in Delhi. It is chaos, but seems like an organised chaos.
What image about India you had before coming here, especially since there is a big Indian community in Australia?
There is a big Indian community in Australia, and my husband has reasonable contact with many of those in the IT industry. There is a very romanticized view about India in Australia. I teach at several universities, and I have seen Indian students. They are always doing business degrees. Maybe there is just one-off person doing a literature or creative writing degree. I got really, really attached to one young man from somewhere north in India about ten years ago. I asked him why is it that all are doing business degrees, he said he had to go back. I asked him why, and he said his village had got the money together to send him to high school. That's why he had to go back, take his knowledge back. That touched me a lot.
In recent times, there has been a lot of incidents about attacks on Indians in Australia…
I think in every country, in every community there is a range of people who will be bigots, against somebody. Australians are not like this, but there are pockets in Australia where this happens. We can try to educate these people, but I would say overall there is little racism in Australia.
Do you think more cultural exchanges can help reduce such negativities?
I think that will be excellent. The more the two communities can interchange and send people to each other and get information about each other, and learn how each one sees, understands things, it would help. It should happen all the time, because there is a stereotype – when you see a stereotype people say oh, Australians are like this, Indians are like that. When you start talking one-on-one, your understanding changes immediately since you make it personal. Suddenly it's not a nation, it's a person.
As part of the idea about exchanges, would you like to get your book released in India?
I would love it to, but honestly have no idea how to go about it. I have an agent in Australia, who is doing the stuff. I think Indians would understand, because it's secular, it talks about small communities, and there is a huge English readership in India. It has gone to a couple of schools here and the British Council has taken some copies for its library.
Now that you have started off on a good note, what's next?
I have four different projects in my head, and which one is going to win is difficult to tell. I always like to think in terms of questions – what if? – which keeps you thinking. I would like to write is what would happen if somebody didn't come home. And something about fire, I am not sure what would it be. We had tremendous and ravaging bush fires last year, and I have an image of the fire in my head.

Kareena Kapoor rejected Dil Dhadakne Do
"If I don't want to [be a part of a film], I am happy not to do it… [I'd rather] chill at home and read a book, or do something else. And that's a policy that I will stick to," says Kareena who rejected Bejoy Nambiar's and Zoya Akhtar next ventures.bollywood Updated: Jul 22, 2014 11:39 IST
Hindustan Times
In the past few months, Kareena Kapoor Khan has turned down multiple films, including Sujoy Ghosh and Karan Johar's next ventures. Her refusal to take onthese projects has raised many eyebrows in the industry, but Kareena fails to understand the hullabaloo.
"In the last five months, I think I have said no to six movies because I don't want to do anything that's not great. If I don't want to [be a part of a film], I am happy not to do it… [I'd rather] chill at home and read a book, or do something else. And that's a policy that I will stick to. Let people say, do or write what they want to. Like Saif (Ali Khan; husband) says, 'Put your head down and don't do what you don't like.' And after 15 years [in the industry], I am sure I have the right to do that," says Kareena, who has reportedly also turned down Bejoy Nambiar's next as well as Zoya Akhtar's upcoming multi-starrer.

Talking about not starring in the latter's film, Kareena says, "It's my loss because I love Zoya, but couldn't be part of her film. I am dying to work with her. Inshallah, this isn't the last film she is going to make, and it's not the last film that I'm not able to do. Aage bhi bahut padi hai zindagi (there's life ahead). Whenever she has a role for me, I'll definitely do it."
The actor, who last appeared in the dud Gori Tere Pyaar Mein (2013), says marriage has altered the way she chooses her projects. "My priorities are different because I am married now. I would like to work in a way that I can give certain time to a film. But then, I have to keep some time for my personal life as well. And I always wanted things to be like this," she says.

Bridging the Arts is a curated film series co-sponsored by Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts and The Kate. The series will feature a selection of art films produced by the highly-regarded Checkerboard Film Foundation and include a brief lecture before each film. The series starts off with Ellworth Kelly: Fragments.
"In my paintings I'm not inventing; my ideas come from constantly investigating how things look."- ElIsworth Kelly
Ellsworth Kelly (1923 – 2015) is widely regarded as one of the most important American abstract painters, sculptors and printmakers of the 20th – 21st centuries. Kelly's work reflects the connection between abstraction and nature from which he extrapolated forms and colors.
Since the beginning of his career, Kelly's emphasis on pure form and color and his impulse to suppress gesture in favor of spatial unity, played a pivotal role in the development of abstract art in America.
This hour-long documentary, shot in High Definition, elucidates the true complexity of the artist's work. In following Kelly as he revisits the Paris of his early twenties, the film uncovers early influences which became leitmotifs that he would return to, reiterate, refine, and re-work for decades to come.
A spinal sequence showing, from A to Z, Kelly's creation of two wall sculptures commissioned for the new U.S. Embassy in Beijing, provides a dramatic thrust to the film.
Insightful commentary from scholars and critics including Robert Storr (Dean, Yale School of Art), Anne d'Harnoncourt (Director and CEO, 1982 - 2008, Philadelphia Museum of Art), Alfred Pacquement (Former Director, Centre Georges Pompidou), Ann Temkin (Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, MoMA) and Roberta Bernstein (Professor Emeritus, 1981 - 2009, University at Albany) help round out this definitive portrait of one of the true giants of American art.

The Yoga system of Patanjali and the teachings of Buddha have a lot of theoretical and practical similarity in their components. Both the systems are well practiced in order to overcome the suffering. Yoga philosophy is based on the principles of Sankhya theory which explains the connection of cause and effect relationships in terms of metaphysics, Yoga approaches this theory and provides the stepwise practices of Ashtanga Yoga through the disciplining of the behavior, mind and body and the senses. Buddha practiced Yoga in both the aspects of its theory and practice. The Yogachara school of Buddhism combines Buddhist doctrine with many Principles and Practices of Yoga such as purification of intentions, the code of conduct in the form morality and the meditation techniques. Buddha used the four practical questions as the foundation of the four noble truths of Buddhism according to which
- There is suffering
- There is cause for the Suffering
- There is cessation of the suffering
- There is path for the cessation of the suffering
Each of these truths contains an insight into the actual nature of our world as well as offers practical advice on how to make your life free of sufferings. For years Buddhist practitioners of Ayurveda have incorporated these teachings into their healing philosophy. And in today's life, these truths make all the sense.
The first noble truth is that life is full of suffering. This one is fairly easy to get through our head as we all know that things are not always as good. So the first noble truth seems like an easy one to accept. Although it is easy to accept that life is not free of pain and suffering, we still expect the pain to go away. There is no way one can avoid pain in life. Even if things are great in your life, you are still going to get old and die someday. This is a fact of life which cannot be avoided or escaped from.
The second noble truth is that the cause of suffering is craving. You may not always get what you want or what you think you may deserve, but still, you think that you can. Although this is not the case with all of us; in fact, most of us don't think like that. But there are many people who think that they should get a particular thing just because they want it. For instance, you may develop a sense of entitlement that just because you want something the world is supposed to provide you with it. This sense of entitlement may leave a bad taste behind if you fail to get that thing.
The third noble truth is that there is always a way out of suffering. Though suffering is inevitable, it is not going to last forever. The best way to reduce the suffering and to experience personal and spiritual growth is to accept it. There is still a reason to have faith and hope, despite the fact that life is full of suffering.
The fourth noble truth leads the way out of suffering. This is an eightfold path which leads to enlightenment. This is the path which gives us hope that suffering is not permanent. Though life is full of suffering, there is always a way out. We cannot avoid the pain but suffering can be escaped. This can be done by following the eightfold path which comprises of Right Understanding, Right Speech, Right Thought, Right Action, Right Effort, Right Livelihood, Right Concentration and Right Mindfulness.
These noble truths of Buddha hold a lot of emphasis on yoga and meditation as only those who have a spiritually awakened mind (which can be obtained through yoga and meditation) could accept these truths in their lives and benefit from it. Not many people know this, but before Buddha got enlightened, he was a yogi, a mystic wanderer. After giving up his opulent life as a prince, he became a yogi and got familiar with practices of mantra, meditation.
The reason why an amateur finds Buddhism and yoga confusingly similar is that Buddhism originated from a source (Buddha) who was deeply submerged in yogic practices. Yoga and Buddhist teachings use several similar terms, principles and practices. Those who study yoga can find a lot of things common with Buddhist teachings and vice versa.

Imagine taking a family trip to Disneyland.
Now, imagine that instead of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy greeting you on arrival, there's Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, and Bill freakin' Murray. And instead of the famous, but slightly creepy 'It's a small world' ride, why not take a journey on The Darjeeling Limited, or sail aboard The Belafonte, before checking into your room at The Grand Budapest Hotel? Or maybe you'd prefer to just walk around and admire some perfectly symmetrical scenery? Well, soon you may not need to imagine, as Wes Anderson has announced his plans to design a theme park with long time collaborator Mark Mothersbaugh.
As well as being the frontman and co-founder of the band Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh has collaborated with Wes Anderson on a number of his most famous films, scoring the soundtracks to Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
Anderson revealed his plans in the foreword to Mothersbaugh's new book, Myopia, saying:
"I hope to soon secure the means to commission the construction of an important and sizeable theme park to be conceived and designed entirely by Mark Mothersbaugh. For 40 years he has set about creating a body of work which amounts to his own Magic Kingdom, where the visitor is amused and frightened, often simultaneously."
Well, I'm sold.
Wes Anderson has crafted a reputation for his beautifully shot movies, with immense attention to detail, and Mark Mothersbaugh is a respected artist in his own right – Myopia features a range of surreal sketches, trippy paintings, and homemade postcards. I think combining both their styles would create something truly unique and amazing.
I don't know about you, but I know where I'm taking my next holiday.

|Single manual harpsichord by Jacob Kirkman, London 1760.
Walnut case, possibly
crossbanded in burr Elm, shaped brass hinges, soundboard with gilt rose, brass
hand stops, trestle stand with wooden castors,
The instrument appears to be good overall condition excepting the base board as noted below. It was restored to playing condition in 1897 by Arnold Dolmetsch. However, the amount of work required seems on inspection to have been slight. At some time in the 1950's or l960's, the instrument was reported to have been in the workshop of Hubbard and Dowd. Around that time some of the of the bottom boards were replaced with plywood. In the early 1990's the instrument was in the workshop of Tim Hamilton of Boston where it was restrung in "Rose" wire, quilled with turkey and the plywood base replaced with pine. There were additional small repairs to the jacks and soundboard. Since that time the instrument has been in storage.
12/18/01 - This instrument has been sold.

Fast and Easy
It only takes 30 seconds and we can squeeze one in anytime. Just drop by and get a quick wax on the way to the mountain. It's not a substitute for an Iron Wax, but it's an easy way to keep you sliding for a while.
The heated, wax infused roller and buff wheel lay a thin layer on your base and then buff it off for a smooth finish.
For that extra edge
Your edges are like the tires on your car. They're what hold you to the snow when you turn. getting your baord/skis edged is like replacing your tires and getting an alignment. We sharpen and bevel every inch to a specific standard.
Our steady-handed technicians have decades of experience so when you drop off you skis/board you can be confident that it's coming back to you with the best edges you can get on a machine.
Patch the holes
We all want to get on the hill as early in the season as possible and stay as late as possible. This usually means riding on sub-par snow conditions and that leads to base damage.
From scratches to core-shots, we can fix them all. Base repairs require a Full Tune, extra time and a little extra cash to bring your base back to factory condition, but come on, who doesn't want to get another couple of seasons out of their favorite board/skis?

Red Velvet Cake Recipe Demonstration
January 30, 2017 | Kitchen Recipes | 20 Comments|
Recipe here: www.joyofbaking.com/RedVelvetCake.html Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make a Red Velvet Cake. A Red Velvet Cake is very dramatic looking with its bright red color that is offset by a creamy white frosting. If we look beyond the striking appearance of this cake, we will find that it has a mild chocolate flavor with a moist and tender crumb. The mild chocolate flavor comes from adding a small amount of cocoa powder to the batter and buttermilk gives it a moist and tender crumb.

Crisis – the time is not to despair but to act.
Ask anyone what features are characteristic of our economy in the current time period. In the overwhelming number of cases, the answer you will hear: crisis, currency devaluation, rising prices, a sharp decline in income and other impartial reviews. Continue reading
Sphere of business.
Depending on what field the business is organized, and changing the final yield of the enterprise. You can select multiple areas of implementation of business projects: production, trade and services.

Because in order to get a good profit we need to invest in the idea and to create an effective enterprise, produce quality products and sell it to the buyer at a reasonable price. In the case when the released product is not much demand, the normal income from it will have to wait a long time.

In addition, the manufacturer should be always "on the wave", that is, to be aware of the slightest market trends: latest trends, consumer preferences, new raw materials and technologies, methods of advertising etc. Continue reading

Types of nuisance under the Act are:
Noise is by far the most common complaint of nuisance received by the Environmental Health Team. Nuisance can be caused by both individuals or companies, in a residential or business setting.
As with all nuisances the Local Authority must demonstrate that the nuisance is occurring, or likely to occur. To do this, we require evidence from the person suffering the nuisance in the form of log sheets, photographs, video evidence etc, to demonstrate that the issue is affecting the use and enjoyment of their property.
The determination of a statutory nuisance is based on numerous factors, including:

Hmm choc and mint are my favourite combo! I love how you just make mini ones, they're so cute! I made some candy cane cupcakes on Christmas day..I wanted to do swirly red and white buttercream icing but my icing would just not turn red no matter what I did! any idea how to turn it red at all? GemReplyDelete
i have found that red is impossible, too. it would require a longer amount of red food coloring than i am comfortable with :)ReplyDelete
i feel the same way! it's impossible to get frosting red without making it taste like crap. santa will just have to have a pink coat.ReplyDelete

If you've ever had to work for 16 months in an office with overhead fluorescent tubes that flicker or buzz, you know how annoying they can be. If you work in an office with flickering lights AND buzzing ballasts, you may have a permanent headache (in addition to your boss).
While the effects are headache-inducing for some people, you may wonder why no one has called the maintenance manager to replace what appears to be equipment ready to fail?
Unfortunately, don't expect someone to come change your office lights anytime soon just because of complaints about buzz and flicker. Even if maintenance does show up, unless there is an upgrade of the ballast and a close look at minimum lamp operating temperatures, the annoying buzz and flicker is likely to continue.
Buzzing Ballasts
Older magnetic ballasts are the chief cause of buzzing from fluorescent fixtures. Make Magazine explains how this happens:
An inductor [i.e., magnetic ballast] will certainly limit the rate at which current can travel to the light, however it does so by absorbing magnetic fields into it's core. This absorption, which causes magnetostriction, is probably the source of your hum- it literally causes the inductor to expand and contract at twice the AC frequency, which creates an audible sound wave
Changing the ballast is the best solution here, replacing the magnetic one with an electronic ballast that will not hum and operates at a lower wattage to regulate the voltage going to the fluorescent bulb itself.
Alternatively, buzzing can increase or decrease based on a number of other factors. Standard Products, a lighting manufacturer in Canada, explains that these include the following:
- How the ballast is mounted in the fixture
- The overall design of the fixture
- Reverberation from the walls, floors, and ceiling
- The size of the ballast — larger ones have the capacity to generate more buzzing than smaller versions
The good news is that many T12 lamps and magnetic ballasts have been legislated out of existence, so your headache may eventually go away when the bulb finally fails. The bad news is that you may be waiting a long time: T12 bulbs haven't completely disappeared yet and can last 10-20,000 hours, while magnetic ballasts are designed to operate for an average of 50,000 hours.
Flickering Fluorescent Lamps
Flickering lights are another issue entirely. Known as "striation," the light coming from a fluorescent bulb may appear as if it is traveling in waves from one end of the bulb to the other. Striations do not indicate an electrical problem. Common causes of striation are fluorescent bulbs filled with heavy gases like Krypton, excessive airflow across the bulb (unlikely inside a fixture) or, most commonly, lower air temperatures than recommended by the lamp manufacturer.
In fact, striation is one of the reasons why fluorescent bulbs have recommended minimum operating temperatures. Newer energy-saving, reduced wattage fluorescent lamps are more prone to striation, according to Philips Advance (PDF), due to the their greater sensitivity to low temperatures.
For example, a 32 watt T8 lamp paired to an electronic ballast can be upgraded to energy saving 30 watt, 28 watt and 25 watt versions (each with a compatible electronic ballast). These lower wattage replacements save energy, but, if operated below 59 degrees F, striations may result. In most office environments, temperatures this low are not likely during working hours.
Even "full wattage" fluorescent lamps (eg. F32T8) can sometimes exhibit striations. Assuming sufficiently high operating temperatures and optimal ballast pairing, the exact cause may be difficult to identify.
Prevention is the best solution for minimizing flicker. According to Standard Products, all fluorescent fixtures placed in offices, classrooms, and spaces occupied for any length of time, should include the appropriate lamp/ballast system and follow the minimum recommended room temperatures during occupancy.
Special attention to these factors apply when using energy saving lamps.

Available for iOS and Android in both free (ad sponsored) and pay (no ads) versions, this
is the best medication app I have found. It is capable of setting reminders for even semi-complex medication schedules (eg, take one pill on day 1, two on day 2 in the morning and one on day 2 in the evening, then one pill on day 3). There is a notes feature which records date and time-stamped notes. I've been using this feature to record side effects and symptoms. The app is able to export the information in a variety of formats. Medications can also be logged on an as-needed basis (great for making sure I'm not taking too much Tylenol). Additional features include inventory tracking (highlighting a medication when you are running low) and the ability to create multiple profiles - so I can track my cat's medications too.
From ASCO, this app is available for iOS and Android. The medication tool is pretty much useless. In fact the only tool that I found remotely helpful is the symptom tracker. While the app can export your info, it is only able to do so as text in an email.
Epocrates Rx
Available for iOS, Android, and Blackberry, this app provides concise information on all drugs that are available in the US, including side effects, dosages, and alternative medications. The most helpful feature of this app is the drug interaction checker. Enter all of the medications that you currently take and the app will flag which ones have interaction warnings.
Drug Formulary
From CancerCare Ontario, this app is available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 7. It provides access to the patient and physician information sheets on common drugs and chemo protocols used in Ontario. Note that this information is also available on their website.
Honourable Mentions
iChemoDiary, available for iOS only and only in the US iTunes Store, combines treatment and side effect tracking. The app has a nice graphing feature which gives you a visual for when certain side effects occurs in your chemo cycle. Unfortunately the list of available side effects to choose from is limited and cannot be added to. That said, this app would be handy to use during traditional chemotherapy - and it's free.
Another app that has gotten good reviews is called iCANcer. There is no free or trial version of this app, so I haven't tried it. If you are using this app, please leave a comment with your impressions of it.

The Transportation Security Administration has begun the process of searching for a third-party entity to provide all of the services needed for the Transportation Worker Identification Credential program
The administration said in a news release on Thursday, May 11, that after assessing different business models for the implementation of the TWIC program, officials have decided the best way to go is with a fully integrated program run by a single provider.
"We have looked at the entire picture and the quickest and best implementation of TWIC will be achieved through one integrated enrollment and data integration process," said Kip Hawley, assistant secretary of TSA.
TSA said an official solicitation for a provider for TWIC services will be issued in the near future.
Hawley added that TSA expects to begin the TWIC program before the end of the year.
The announcement came shortly after TSA said it would be submitting a proposed rulemaking for the TWIC program to the Federal Register.
