Sorry about your fall, but at least you aren't in a boot all summer like moi! I took a tumble on our stairs in June and have been on crutches since. I understand about the drop off vs. staying at parties because we're going throught that right now, too. I feel like if I leave, the other mom's will be talking about me! I'm not sure what the appropriate age is for leaving your kid at a party.ReplyDelete
I was wondering if you were going to get Cize. I bet you'll love it! I just bought 21 Day Fix, which I'll start tomorrow. I need to get back into good eating and exercise habits and some friends at church are doing it. Have you done 21 Day Fix??ReplyDeleteReplies
CIZE is a lot of fun--and I am NOT a dancer, but Shaun T really breaks things down well and goes over everything from the top tons of times before you do the whole dance at the end to the popular music (Cize it up).Delete
I haven't done 21 Day Fix but I've heard such good things about it. Good luck to you and your group! :)
I'd love to hear what you have to say. I try to reply to comments and answer questions within each post so be sure to check back from time to time. Thanks for visiting!

After receiving a breakout at #5 on the Billboard hot club play charts, peaking at #23 in March 2007's DJ Times dance charts and being added to Abercrombie & Fitch stores throughout the country, EsNtion Records took notice and signed Adam to a record deal for which his first single will be Standing in the Rain with DJ Russ Harris. A DJ Times review for May called him "one of the strongest male vocalists in 2007". His music video hit the #1 spot on MTV LOGO's Click List in August, was one of the top 10 videos of 2007, he was named favorite Click List artist of 2007 and made #96 on AfterElton.com's Hot 100 for 2008.

Local citizens harness power in support of public broadcasting federal funding
Harrisburg, PA—WITF, public media center and valued source of trusted information and quality entertainment in Central PA, is urging local citizens to contact their elected Members of Congress to support federal funding for public broadcasting. Federal funds are essential to the programs and services local citizens depend on—from national programs such as the PBS Newshour, Sesame Street and NPR's Morning Edition, to local WITF productions such as Smart Talk and Radio Smart Talk.
"The budget vote for federal funding—which includes many federal programs—will come next week, and your elected Members of Congress need to hear your voice regarding this important matter. Because the future of WITF and local programs are at stake, it is important that your representatives hear directly from you about support for public broadcasting. I urge you to make your views known—a phone call to Washington is the most effective way to convey your opinion," said Kathleen Pavelko, president and CEO of WITF.WITF encourages citizens to contact their elected Congressmen and Senators in support of federal funding for public broadcasting.
Pennsylvania State Senators:
United States Senator Robert P. Casey, Jr.: (202) 224-6324
United States Senator Pat Toomey: (202) 224-4254
Pennsylvania House of Representatives:
Congressman Bill Shuster: (202) 225-2431
Congressman Tom Marino: (202) 225-3731
Congressman Joseph R. Pitts: (202) 225-2411
Congressman Tim Holden: (202) 225-5546
Congressman Todd Russell Platts: (202) 225-5836
"WITF's role in education alone is worth this federal support. On a local level, and on a national level, the last thing that we should be considering is cutting critical support to a key pillar of American education," said Doug Neidich, Chairman of WITF's Board of Directors.
Reaching over 98% of American households with free services, public broadcasting is accessed by over 170 million Americans regularly each month for educational and informational resources, thoughtful exploration of cultural issues, and a window to urban and rural communities nationwide. WITF's programs and services reach nearly 2 million citizens in more than 17 counties in Central Pennsylvania (more than 78% of South Central Pennsylvania adults regularly view or listen to WITF.)
Federal funding for public broadcasting is a nominal annual cost of about $1.35 per year for each American, and supports 21,000 jobs—mostly in local public television and radio stations in hundreds of communities across America. Eliminating the $445 million investment in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would only reduce the $1.5 trillion federal budget deficit by less than three ten-thousandths of one percent, but it would have a devastating impact on local communities nationwide.
In December, WITF joined with public television and public radio stations across the country in an unprecedented grassroots effort to harness the enthusiasm of the 170 million Americans who watch, listen to or use the services and programming of public media each month. Local citizens are encouraged to visit 170MillionAmericans.org, the centerpiece for the campaign, to register support for public broadcasting and remain engaged in support of federal funding.
The 170 Million Americans campaign was founded on the belief that now, more than ever, our country needs a strong public media system as a source of non-partisan news, local cultural programming and non-commercial educational programs. Public funding ensures that public media will continue to enhance the quality of life of our local communities through its offerings of children's programming, news and public affairs, music and culture, and more.

Yes, this is the third out of nine that I have now completed.
As an art quilt I think it does make it's own little statement. It is going to hang in my laundry room which also has a yellow/gold (Dijon) colored wall. You can never have too many cheerful things in a laundry room!
Moving on to other things that are progressing . . . this quilt is in the process of getting it's final borders put on. Lots of appliqué on those snowflakes . . . could take a while.
This PhD has gone from just a flimsy to a basted quilt – just another few big steps further and we'll add it to the pile too.
Have a great week!

Claus Trska was born in Vienna, Austria in 1973 and in daily life works as ecologist. At the age of 14, karate gave him the possibility to enter the world of martial arts. After being an athlete for three years and training for further seven years in the "Kung Fu" style "Chow Gar", he discovered Chen style Taijiquan in the school of grandmaster Chen Shihong and concentrated his efforts on this art since 2003. In 2004 he was co-founder of the association "Shujian" with Paris Lainas and Gerhard Treiber.
He is triple Austrian National Champion in the category 'Taiji forms' (2008, 2009 and 2017). In 2008, he was awarded the 4th Duan after taking an exam in front of the commission – led by Chen Xiaowang – of the Chinese Wushu Association. In 2010 he obtained his official permission to teach and founded together with Barbara Wittmann, Bernadett Wagner and Pal Varfoki the association "Shenwu – Taijiquan im Chen Stil". That very year, he passed the first sports management course of the BSO. In 2013, he won 2 gold medals in China at the Ningbo's Inaugural International Wushu Challenge in the categories "Taijiquan fist- and sword- forms". He is teaching his students in Vienna, Austria as well as in Budapest, Hungary. and he is still student of Chen Shihong's Wushu School.
He would be glad to share his experiences with everyone who has interest to come to know more about the world of martial arts.
Masters, who have significantly influenced Claus Trska's current path and his way of understanding the essence of Chen-Taijiquan:Chen Xiaowang
Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang was born in 1945 in Chenjiagou (Chen Village), Henan Province, China. He is a senior national martial artist and professor in the Chinese Martial Arts International Promotions Centre. Upon a solid foundation of experience of his ancestors, Chen has not only been successful in Taijiquan himself, but has tirelessly promoted his "family martial art" throughout the world. He is direct descendent of the creator of Taijiquan, Chen Wangting and the grandson of Chen Fa'ke, renowned as the greatest Taijiquan master at the beginning of the 20th Century.
At a very young age, Chen received rigorous training in Chen family Taijiquan theory, forms, weapons, push hands, and free sparring from his father, Chen Zhaoxu, and his uncles, Chen Zhaopi and Chen Zhaokui. In 1980, he became a board member of the Henan Institute of Sport and began teaching Taijiquan professionally. He entered the National Taijiquan Competition winning gold medals for three consecutive years (1980, 1981, and 1982). In 1985, he represented China in the First International Martial Arts Invitational Competition in Xi'an receiving the world champion title for Taijiquan. Chen continued to compete in sizable competitions and was awarded the title of champion in Taijiquan more than twenty times. He has represented China sharing martial arts knowledge with people in more than 30 countries, including Japan, America, and Singapore. His deep Taijiquan skill has allowed him defeat all martial artists who have challenged him. Over many years, Chen has taught tens of thousands of outstanding Taijiquan students both in and outside of China. In 1988, Chen was awarded the Contribution to Martial Arts prize by the National Institute of Martial Arts.
Chen Xiaowang has held many positions of leadership in areas of martial arts, calligraphy, culture, and Chinese medicine and currently holds various positions in many international and Chinese Taijiquan institutions. He was the principal in the films on Chen family Taijiquan produced by Chinese Central Television (CCTV) and has choreographed and directed martial arts films. Additionally, he authored a number of renowned books and essays on Taijiquan. His books and videos have been translated into many languages and have been published worldwide.
Chen has contributed significantly to the international promotion of Taijiquan. In 1990, he left China on a mission to promote Taijiquan to the world. He established the World Chen Xiaowang Taijiquan Association and has since been touring Europe, North America, South America, and Asia promoting and teaching Taijiquan. The distance he travels each year is equivalent to twice the circumference of the earth. In February 2003, he accepted an invitation to return to his hometown, Jiao Zuo, to author a Taijiquan book for elementary and high school students. Both the people and government of Jiao Zuo warmly welcomed him.
Chen's big heartedness, his outstanding Taijiquan skills, and his personal characteristics make him highly respected around the world. He is truly the most outstanding Chen family Taijiquan master of his generation and a world-renowned martial artist.
Chen Shihong was born in 1959, in the city of Jinhua (Zhejiang province, China). During his childhood, his father began to teach him Wushu, later he attended the Shaolin sports school where he graduated with excellent skills in Shaolin-boxing and other martial arts. In the 80's, he met Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang, the official head of the Chen family in its 19th generation. Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang took him in as a personal student, and led him to Masterhood of Chen style Taijiquan, making him a 20th generation practitioner and representative. Since then Master Chen Shi Hong is connected to Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang in deep friendship, not only because of his role model and ideals.
In 1987, Chen Shihong followed the invitation of the renowned Japanese Karate-Master Nagayama Masatosi. He helped to promote and settle Chinese martial arts in Japan and headed the training of the Japanese Taijiquan Association for 3 years. In 1990, he came to Austria and in 1991 he founded the first Wushu Association in Vienna/ Austria ("ACWA" or "Austrian-Chinese Wushu Association"), whose teaching is still conducted by him.
Between 1992 and 2006 representing the austrian national team the members of his association took part several times in international wushu competitions in China und Europe. In the same year the Wushu was acknowledged by the Austrian Sports Ministry and the Chinese Wushu Association of Austria was created. There he was Head Coach and responsible for national forms, Sanda and Taijiquan.
In his early days he was acting beside Li Lianjie (Jet Li) in martial arts films such as "The Power of Shaolin" or "The Holy Beggar". Beside considerable successes of the ACWA-members in international Wushu competitions master Chen Shi Hong was personally awarded for shadow boxing (Taijiquan) and Wushu". In 1992 and 1995 at the International Taiji and Wushu Championships in Wudang Master Chen received medals for Chen Taijiquan and the Salto boxing style.
In 2008 in Hang Zhou (PRC) he graduated the exam for the 7th Duan of Chinese Wushu Association and received the title of Grandmaster by the Sports Ministry of Zhejiang Province (PRC).
As honorary chairman of the research community for Chen-style Taijiquan in China, President of the "International Chen Style Taiji Friendship Association" in Tokyo, guarantor of the International Association of Traditional Chinese martial arts as well as the Vice President of the European Shaolin Wushu Association (founded in 2010), he has made an essential contribution to the spread of Chinese Wushu in China, Japan and Europe.
Due to his exceptional martial art skills, his pioneering spirit and his unlimited desire to pass on the teachings of Chen Xiaowang, he occupies a special place among the masters of Taijiquan acting today.
Grandmaster Chen Shi Hong gave name for the association "Shenwu" and up to this day he is the teacher of Claus Trska.
Master Chen was born in China in 1976 at Chenjiagou village, the birthplace of Taijiquan. He is the 1st son of grandmaster Chen Xiaoxing and a 20th generation member of the Chen family with ancestral roots directly traceable back to the 9th generation master Chen Wangting, the famous founder of Taijiquan. His uncle, Chen Xiaowang, is the current lineage holder of Chen family Taijiquan.
He became known for his fighting skills and his application-oriented access to martial arts. He has competed in and won numerous titles both in China and abroad. Today Chen Ziqiang is the head instructor and manager of the school of his father, which is the largest school of Taijiquan in Chenjiagou. For some years he is also teaching outside of China and visits regularly his Taiji-fellow Chen Shi Hong in Vienna/ Austria.
Chen Bing is an outstanding representative of the 20th generation Chen Taijiquan. At the age of 35 in the world of Taijiquan and martial art, his fame extends many parts of China, Japan, Korea as well as in the U. S. Besides his current position as headmaster, he holds the following positions and associated responsibilities:
- President of Chen Bing Taiji Academy

- Special instructor, Korea Chen-Style Taijiquan Association
- Advisor, Japanese Chen-Style Taijiquan Association
- Honorary Master, Hubei Province, Yichang District Taijiquan Association.
Born in 1971 as a son of Chen Yonghe who was an old brother of Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang and Chen Xiaoxing, Chen Bing grew up in Chenjiagou, Wenxian County, Henan Province, China. As the eldest descendant of a 20th generation of the Chen family, he started his Taijiquan lessons from his two renowned uncles, Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang and Grandmaster Chen Xiaoxing at the age of 6. Between 1990 and 2000, Chen Bing gradually received recognitions through his participation in the regional, national wushu tournaments:

|#Uganda600 VC Jana with Marion
"...I had the great opportunity of meeting some of the Grow team, clients, and managers whilst in Uganda earlier this month. The enthusiasm and passion behind the #Uganda600 project was absolutely phenomenal. I spent a day with Mohammed (one of the country managers) during my client visits to George (Ground nut and fish maker) and Marion (Mobile phone kiosk owner). One of the key challenges Marion was facing was buying her products in Uganda at a very expensive cost. Her current VC is working with her to find a suitable solution on how she can procure some of her goods such as mobile phones, laptops directly from the suppliers where she will have greater bargaining power. Both George and Marion were intirgued at how helpful their consultants were which had been a very different experience to when they had tried to seek business help locally. They were both amazed at how quickly they could implement new ideas and have an impact"
"If you see Sean , please thank him for me, he has completely changed my life, my business and my way of understanding how to do things. " George
"...Being Ugandan and going back to my mother country to assist some of the business owners really is fulfilling and allows me to face new challenges as a consultant that I don't necessarily come across in the United Kingdom. I also had the opportunity to attend day one of the training with Chrissy and Janine (London Business School research managers) with some of the Grow Movement team who seemed really keen to work with Consultants all around the world. I look forward to working with such an amazing team!"
Thank you Jana from the Grow Movement team for taking time from your holiday to visit #Uganda600 preparations.

Attribution 101
Continuing with the recent posts on metrics and marketing. I want to give a quick primer on attribution. To any marketing or analytics people out there, simply skip this it would aim to be a primer recap at best for you.
The very general meaning behind attribution is to give credit. When it comes to web products this can be giving credit for lots of things:
- A visit to your site
- A purchase to your site
- Other events, such as sign up, referring friends, etc.
Its really wonderful when there's a direct mapping in correlation. Take for example the case where:
- User sees your ad on facebook
- User clicks on ad
- User signs up for an account
- User pays you money
In this case it's clear that its worthwhile to advertise on facebook. The hard part becomes when there's a non-linear path in some form (which is almost always the case). Now take the case:
- User sees your ad on facebook
- User clicks on ad, then leaves
- User comes back a day later directly, and spends 10 minutes on the site reading
- User comes back a day later after searching via google, and creates an account
- User sees a re targeting ad 1 month later and visits
- User pays for account
In a perfect world you have case 1 and can give the full credit or attribution of the purchase to your facebook ad. However, in a real world you have case 2 and it becomes more complicated. Perhaps its something like this though:
- Account creation - 100% to facebook ad
- Paying for account - 50% to facebook ad, 50% to retargetting?
This is where there is not an exact science to attribution, as it could be justified to give 100% of the credit for paying for an account to the re targeting. So if this has you pondering on attribution here's the downer part…. The tools that allow you to attribute a goal or action to multiple sources:
- Omniture
- Web Trends
Most other tools are the last place the user ever came from, some occasionally are the first place a user came from, but without pony-ing up for a high end product your options on actually getting data don't really exist.
Disclaimer: I have little to no formal training in stats or analytics, have simply learned through launching products so take this for what its worth, someone that has been there and done it.

Its pretty obvious that my musical interests–or affections– lie in bands and artists that have been around, or were creating at a time other than 2010. I have no elitist predilection in that regard though; I just like the older stuff more. However, there have certainly been some solid albums this time around. And, although this is pretty much just a music blogger's responsibility come December 15th (or so), I still am happy to share the albums that I thought were the year's finest. For the most part, they're well known, and their popularity is well-deserved: these albums were big because they were good, and not the other way around.
To contradict myself right off the bat, I'll start with the semi-obscure. Daniel Lanois' newest solo/side project is fascinating. He's got a young female vocalist with pipes from hell in Trixie Whitley. She sounds more like Joss Stone than Susan Tedeschi, but her obvious natural (not educated) talents put her somewhere in the middle, and also makes her the album's highlight. With help from a restrained but rhythmically stimulating Brian Blade on drums, Lanois grabs from a variety of musical styles and cultures; mixing Jamaican rhythms with Memphis Soul, Appalachian folk with french gospel. Black Dub's variety is constant, and although this overt genre melding has certainly been done before, it's Lanois' first crack at it, and that says something.
What a pleasure; I get more out of this album than their previous two combined. Flush with synthy mechanics and emotive imagery, the Baltimore duo casts wonderful sonic layering throughout. Alex Scally and Victoria LeGrand are masters of the lull, even the upbeat parts of this album create that title appropriate dream-running feeling, where you really aren't going anywhere at all. And that's not a knock on Beach House, with Teen Dream they've captured a specific–albeit predictable– sonic identity. I hear a lot of purples and yellows, but not a lot of browns. That means their musical ideals are distinct, but separate; pretty, but cautious. And, this may be the newest sounding album on this list, although LeGrand sure owes a lot to Stevie Nicks.
3. The Black Keys – Brothers
For an album with so much pop–and instrumental variety– I don't know how much longer we're going to be able to refer to these guys as a blues-rock duo. This is a long way from 2001's The Big Come Up, but certainly not unexpected, The Key's evolution has been pin-pointed rather precisely by their well-paced releases. Magic Potion marked a distinct improvement in songwriting and song variety, while Attack and Release marked one in experimentation and sonic variety. Brothers has a lot of sounds from its two predecessors, but also carries a new found interest in soul and pop hooks. The duo works these newly appointed characteristics into a lot of the album's gems. The result is The Key's most accessible album yet. And although its a tad long, it has enough flowing consistency and fervor to keep you interested for the long haul.
In which Win grounds his thematic intensity, Regine still sings the best song, and everyone else thunders and rolls their way through 16 tracks that makes the whole world remember why we missed Arcade Fire so much. The Suburbs has a remarkable ebb and flow about it, the songs weave, they bob, but more importantly, they compliment one another. I have a lot trouble explaining why I enjoy this album in such a succinct way; mainly because the album is anything but that– succinct. It is a dramatic but realistic reflection on the trials and tribulations of a suburban adolescence, and how they only become trials and tribs once you reflect on them–its a hopeful realization that the act of looking back is both revealing and enlightening. The Montreal ensemble takes their time proving this exceptionally candid theme, but their concept-heavy existence has never made us expect anything else. The Suburbs' concept certainly beats confused politics, and is a close second to death, but the album also has a sonic maturity and variance that is akin, but superior, to that of its predecessors: Neon Bible and Funeral. And that makes The Suburbs a natural extension of the talents and abilities of Win Butler and crew.
This time out, the ivy league quartet is a little tighter, a little smarter, and a little more experimental. We hear slower, longer songs about more than hot-for-teacher crushes and obscure grammatical instructions. Ezra Koenig's lyrics still read like an English major's, but now he's tackling issues with a little more depth. And although their blatant musical appropriations can be heard sometimes as a ripoff rather than homage, its nothing new in Rock and Roll, and now after two years worth of touring, this unit has the musicality to back it up. Koenig and Batmanglij have always had chops, but on Contra, Chris Tomson and Chris Baio give VW a backbone, a buoyant rhythmic fortress underpinning the stylish wordplay and swirling arrangements that are already expected from their leading front men. Culturally speaking, VW's previous tales of wealth and privilege garnered a fair amount of naysayers. Contra, however, not only speaks out to those on the privileged end, but also the heartbroken, oppressed, and, for lack of a better term, musically familiar. And Vampire Weekend doesn't care if the naysayers don't fall into any of those categories; because rationality, in this case, certainly outweighs doubt.

C-11—An Act to amend the Copyright Act
By Christin Scarlett Milloy
Summary: Bill C-11 seeks to "modernize" Canada's copyright act.
Decision: Christin Milloy would vote NAY on C-11. (41st Parliament, 1st Session)
This bill does nothing but install limitations and restrictions on how Canadians use the Internet, and media which they've purchased and own. C-11 has provisions which could destroy the remix culture, limit free expression in other ways, and censor the web.
C-11 would make it illegal to copy a DVD or CD which you already own, even if it's only for your personal use (for example, to make MP3s for your portable media device). Previous copyright legislation protected the rights of consumers to use the media they own, while C-11 tramples on those rights.
Movie discs from other parts of the world are usually "region locked" so they'll only play on DVD players from the same region. However, computer software exists which can bypass the "region lock," so you can play movies you've imported from Europe, Japan, or elsewhere. Under C-11, bypassing region lock would be illegal. The government will be telling you what you can and can't do with media you already bought and own.
Big media companies are even lobbying to have provisions added to C-11 that could allow them to black out entire websites in Canada (even websites not hosted in Canada) by the mere accusation of copyright infringement.
If you or someone in your home uploads copyrighted content to the Internet, or even if a big media company just thinks you did, your ISP could be ordered to shut down your Internet service—with no proof required!
This bill is just ridiculous. It's yet another example of how large corporations have manipulated our corrupt, bloated political system to abuse the power of law for their own benefit, at the expense of Canadians everywhere. I believe in freedom of expression, and in a free market. A free market would correct for innovations, not try to stifle them. I am against the repressive bill C-11.

Any number of disaster scenarios would seemingly bring the U.S. to a grinding halt, and wreak untold havoc upon the vulnerable population.
Worse, there seems to be an uncomfortable sense that a major event like that is long overdue.
Surely one of the most devastating would be a major earthquake along the San Andreas

Aloo Gobi: Spicy Cauliflower & Potato आलू गोभी
Tick tock, tick tock. It's 9 pm and I was starving … yet there was nothing to cook. What do I do? Look for leftovers and turn them into a nutritious vegetarian meal, of course! Aloo gobi can be found on pretty much any menu at an Indian restaurant and there is good reason for it. It is so simple to cook and it is delicious! Have it with rice, roti or, like me, in a tortilla wrap because I could not be bothered making roti from scratch.

We all love a nice classic salad from time to time, especially now that warmer weather is on its way. Here I have compiled three of America's most iconic salads: a chicken Caesar salad, a Waldorf salad and a Cobb salad. Beautiful salads, every one of them … I only hope I do them justice.

You are here: Home > News > Legislation News > Fire Protection in Buildings Explained –dates for 2012
Posted on 17/04/2012
'Fire Protection in Buildings Explained – The Role of Passive Fire Protection Products' is the new name for the successful Chiltern International Fire (CIF) CPD training course 'Passive Fire Protection Explained'.
The new name, said Chief Operating Officer Jon Osborn, better reflects the course content, which will not change. 'To help delegates understand the role of passive fire protection strategies and products, we have to paint a wider picture, looking at how fire develops and how Building Regulations address the risks.'
He stressed, 'Feedback has been extremely positive. The course gives clear guidance on the legislative drivers for passive fire protection, such as the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. The live fire demonstrations show how quickly fire can gain hold if the correct measures and products are not in place, underlining visually and memorably the key messages we hope delegates will take away.'
Fire Protection in Buildings Explained – The Role of Passive Fire Protection Products will be held at CIF's High Wycombe headquarters on 17th May and 4th October 2012. It is aimed at local authorities, housing associations, building contractors, facilities/estates managers, fire stopping installation companies, electrical & plumbing contractors, architects, building control inspectors and fire engineering students. Delegate fees are £285.00 + VAT (Standard) and £225 + VAT (TRADA members).

Melbourne VIC
Melbourne is the capital and most populated city in the state of Victoria, it is the second most populated city in Australia with an recorded average of 4,442,918 residents. It is located on the bay of Port Phillip, with the city centre at the northernmost point of the bay. Melbourne's metropolitan area goes from the south of the City Centre along the eastern and western shorelines of Port Phillip and extends towards the Dandenong and Macedon mountain ranges, Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley. When moving to, or relocating within, Melbourne there are forty nine Budget Truck Hire locations that will assist you with your move.
If you are looking to move to an area where pace is relaxing and the majority of the residents own (as oppose to public housing), then you will want to pull your Budget truck into the driveway of a home in Albert Park. Albert Park is located in the inner south of Melbourne and has wide tree lined streets, beautiful Victorian architecture, quality cafes and an award winning bookshop.
Altona, located on the west end of Melbourne, is another great place to live. Although located near the refineries, Altona has a elegant, old time feel with the bonus of being near the beach. Although the majority of properties are within walking distance to Altona Beach, the home prices are reasonable and if you will be working in one of the refineries it makes for a great place to work and play.
For working class families, you will want to drive your Budget Truck Rental into a driveway in Brunswick. Brunswick is located in the inner north side of Melbourne and is know to be a working class area of living. There are three areas of living in Brunswick; East Brunswick, Brunswick and West Brunswick. Each of these areas offers a different mix of living from cafes to industry. East Brunswick has a younger average age and offers an array of housing options from cottages to brick homes. East Brunswick is less expensive to live than the other two areas but offers more in housing options and entertainment. CERES Community Environment Park, is situated on the banks of Merri Creek in East Brunswick and is visited by all in Brunswick so it tends to be a little more on the crowded side. West Brunswick take up the majority of Brunswick and is the more popular destination for families to settle in. Brunswick provides an array of neighborhoods with residents from singles to elderly.
For an array of shopping options then suburbs such as Prahran, St Kilda, South Yarra, and Windsor Richmond are inner city suburbs less than ten minutes from the Central Business District. In these suburbs you will not only find amazing shopping, but also an array of night clubs to entertain you until the sun comes up.

Things have been busier around here, or so it seems. Our weekends have been full, many of our evenings have been full in one way or another so that just puts other things on hold! My meal planning/cooking/grocery shopping has been give and take lately. My weekly grocery shopping turned into a quick run to the store every single day for like 5 days HA! I finally made it to the store this past Tuesday and shopped for a week but that throws off my menu planning. :-)
Here's what I have for the coming week so far:
Saturday - We've gotten into a pattern of eating out on Saturday evenings BUT we will be eating lunch out today after the boys finish up at Sparks Olympics and my parents will be with us too! So for dinner, I've planned . . .leftovers :-)
Sunday - Today we have a banquet at church for the main meal. I'm taking Taco Salad and Turtle Brownies. At home for dinner I plan on making a simple BBQ chicken Tortilla Pizza that we had last week and LOVED!
Monday - Tonight is the last night of gymnastics for this session so we get to watch the boys and see what they have learned. We will celebrate by going to Applebees for 1/2 price burgers.
Tuesday - Pork Chops, Loaded Cauliflower Mash, Mac and Cheese, Salad and Rolls
Since I shopped for "Tuesday-Tuesday" I don't have anything else planned at this point. Hard to believe, though, that Easter is just around the corner!

Australia has registered a 108-23 win over Fiji in their fourth match of the preliminary rounds of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
The last time Australia had scored 100 points or more against any opposition was in their Commonwealth Games clash against India in 2010, and it was just the fifth time in Australian netball history.
It had been 16 years since Australia and Fiji last clashed, and the first time the island nation had contested the Commonwealth Games since 2006.
The match saw a remarkable run end, with Caitlin Thwaites coming into the match with a perfect 75/75 clip from the field. She added another 23 goals to hit an incredible 98 shots without missing in the tournament before the streak was broken.
She finished with 30/31 for the match, while Caitlin Bassett led all scorers with 40/41.
The Australians chanced their arm and were able to reel in 18 intercepts for the match with Laura Geitz and Courtney Bruce getting six steals each.
Liz Watson (30 assists) and Kimberley Ravaillion (26 assists) provided great service to the shooters in a good hitout for the Diamonds.
Again, Australian coach Lisa Alexander mixed up the starting roster with Bassett, April Brandley, Bruce, Ravaillion, Gabi Simpson, Watson and Steph Wood hitting the court for the opening exchanges.
And they made a big statement, posting 16 points in just six minutes to open up an early 18-1 lead. The Diamonds were able to shift the ball easily in transition and Bassett and Wood were able to convert, with the Diamonds going into quarter time leading 32-7.
But perhaps the most impressive stat of all was the fact that the Diamonds didn't concede a single penalty in the entire first quarter.
Fiji were able to rally, though, with stronger defence restricting Australia to just 23 goals in the second quarter.
It was a game rally from the Fijians, with 16-year-old Waqa displaying no fear – and showing why she could be a star of the future – with 10/11 from the field.
Australia was still able to notch up the half century, though, and took a 55-15 lead into half-time with Bassett finishing with 40/41, Wood 15/19, Watson with an incredible 30 assists and Bruce with three intercepts
Wholesale changes were made at half-time, with Caitlin Thwaites, Jo Weston, Madi Robinson, Susan Pettitt and Geitz given their chances to shine.
That didn't disrupt the Diamonds, as strong defence kept the Fiji side to just three goals in the third quarter.
The crowd at the Gold Coast Exhibition Centre roared as the Diamonds passed the 100-goal mark late in the final quarter in what was an impressive performance from Australia.
The Australian Diamonds will play their final match of the preliminary games against Jamaica on Wednesday at 9pm AEST to determine the top two placings in their pool.

sCTF 2016 writeup EN
I joined sCTF as hans and marked 270pts.
The following is the problems that I could submit the correct flag.
Please tell me if there are any better solver because I'm newbie in ctf.
I'd like to learn a lot.
Banana Boy
The one picture carter.jpg was given.
I found another flame in the file with flag.
flag: sctf{tfw_d4nk_m3m3s_w1ll_a1w4y5_pr3v4il}
When I checked the strings in binary using string command, I found a little bit strange characters and that was the flag.
flag: sctf{h4x0r!!!}
I forgot how to solve, but I used objdump to find the magic number.
flag: sctf{51196695}
We're lucky because a lot of coordinates of satellites were zero!
I wrote a script as shown in below.
#coding:utf8 import math s = [[0,0,0],[2000,0,0],[2000,2000,0],[3000,1500,1700]] def GetDistances(f): line = list(map(float, f.readline().strip().split(" "))) return line def CalcLocation(d): x = (d[0]**2-d[1]**2+s[1][0]**2)/(2*s[1][0]) y = (d[0]**2-d[2]**2-2*s[2][0]*x+s[2][0]**2+s[2][1]**2)/(2*s[2][1]) z = (d[0]**2-d[3]**2-2*s[3][0]*x+s[3][0]**2-2*s[3][1]*y+s[3][1]**2+s[3][2]**2)/(2*s[3][2]) return [x,y,z] def main(): with open("tracking_re.in","r") as f: cnt = 0 sum_loc = [0,0,0] while(True):#main loop try: d = GetDistances(f) except Exception: break location = CalcLocation(d) print(location) for i in range(0,len(sum_loc)): sum_loc[i] += location[i] cnt += 1 #average print(cnt) print(sum_loc) print([sum_loc[0]/cnt,sum_loc[1]/cnt,sum_loc[2]/cnt]) if __name__ == '__main__': main()
I got the following flag.
flag: sctf{537, 516, 487}
We should obtain both colorcodes and characters.
I resized the "code1.png" to 8 x 1075 px and wrote the following script.
#coding:utf8 import numpy as np from PIL import Image from matplotlib import pylab as plt img_dir = "" img_name = "code1.png" img = np.array(Image.open(img_dir + img_name)) plt.imshow(img) print(img.shape) for y in range(img.shape[0]): code = "" color = -1 if all(img[y][0] == [255,255,0]):#color color = 4 elif all(img[y][0] == [255,165,0]): color = 5 elif all(img[y][0] == [128,0,128]): color = 1 elif all(img[y][0] == [0,128,0]): color = 3 elif all(img[y][0] == [255,0,0]): color = 0 elif all(img[y][0] == [0,0,255]): color = 2 for x in range(1,img.shape[1]):#binary if img[y][x][0] == 0: code += "1" else: code += "0" print(chr(int(code,2)-color), end = "")
I could not come up with better writing immediately than elif...
That gave me the sentence and I found the flag between "ABC" and "DEF".

Legal experts say Justice Antonin Scalia erred in his dissent in the 6-2 decision Tuesday to uphold the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate coal pollution that moves across state lines. The Reagan-appointed jurist argued that the majority's decision was inconsistent with a unanimous 2001 ruling which he mistakenly said shot down EPA efforts to consider costs when setting regulations.
"This is not the first time EPA has sought to convert the Clean Air Act into a mandate for cost-effective regulation. Whitman v. American Trucking Assns., Inc., 531 U. S. 457 (2001), confronted EPA's contention that it could consider costs in setting [National Ambient Air Quality Standards]," Scalia wrote in his dissent, which was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas.
The problem: the EPA's position in the 2001 case was exactly the opposite. The agency was defending its refusal to consider cost as a counter-weight to health benefits when setting certain air quality standards. It was the trucking industry that wanted the EPA to factor in cost. The 9-0 ruling sided with the EPA. The author of the ruling that Scalia mischaracterized? Scalia himself.
The conservative justice's error was noted by University of California-Berkeley law professor Dan Farber, who called it "embarrassing" and a "cringeworthy blunder."
"Scalia's dissent also contains a hugely embarrassing mistake. He refers to the Court's earlier decision in American Trucking as involving an effort by EPA to smuggle cost considerations into the statute. But that's exactly backwards: it was industry that argued for cost considerations and EPA that resisted," Farber wrote on the environmental law and policy blog Legal Planet. "This gaffe is doubly embarrassing because Scalia wrote the opinion in the case, so he should surely remember which side won! Either some law clerk made the mistake and Scalia failed to read his own dissent carefully enough, or he simply forgot the basics of the earlier case and his clerks failed to correct him. Either way, it's a cringeworthy blunder."
Doug Kendall, the president of the Constitutional Accountability Center, a liberal legal advocacy group, said the error was mystifying and very unusual for a Supreme Court justice.
"It is a mind-blowing misstatement of a basic fact of the American Trucking Association ruling which Justice Scalia himself wrote. And it's not just a stray passage -- it's the basis for an entire section of the dissent," Kendall said. "It is very unusual to see a passage that so clearly misstates the fundamental facts of a prior ruling, especially one written by the justice himself."
As of Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court has corrected Scalia's opinion. The relevant passage now excludes his erroneous mention of the EPA and replaces the header with a new one that drops an EPA reference.
The new passage reads as follows: "This is not the first time parties have sought to convert the Clean Air Act into a mandate for cost-effective regulation. Whitman v. American Trucking Assns.,Inc., 531 U. S. 457 (2001), confronted the contention that EPA should consider costs in setting NAAQS."
The old header was, "Plus Ça Change: EPA's Continuing Quest for Cost-Benefit Authority." The new one reads, "Our Precedent."
The case is EPA v. Homer City Generation. The original opinion — before the corrections — is available below.
