Being a new vampire ain't easy. And Tara's learning the hard way.
Escaping from Sookie's into the woods, Tara experiences vampire sensory overload — her vision is heightened, she can hear things very clearly. She can see the entire universe and stars above her, but can also see a creepy opossum in a tree.
She can also see a stranded motorist looking for help. She bears her fangs and approaches.
"Listen ... I ... have no problem with vampires," the woman begs.
Tara's not having it. She's hungry and pissed, so we grabs her neck and is about to sink her teeth in until she sees her reflection in the car window and backs away.
"I'm sorry," Tara says and backs off. Apparently, if you were a good person and had a soul before you turned vampire, that carries over into your new vampire conscience.
Or something.
Tara's adjustment to her new life made up the bulk of this otherwise boring episode. Otherwise, we're saddled with the slow moving action over at the Authority, where the mainstreaming vs. non-mainstreaming debate rattles on (rebels who don't believe the Authority has all the right answers are called "Sanguinistas", we learn. Really?!)
But back to Tara. Sookie and Lafayette are freaking out looking for her, and Sookie turns to Pam, Tara's maker. Pam is too occupied with trying to find Eric (vampires can text on their phones really, really, really fast).
So Pam turns her down her request for help. "Get out of my bar before I suck you dry," Pam tells her, which unleashes the fairy-power rage in Sookie. The flashes of powerful light come out of Sookie's hands which pushes Pam way up against the wall of the bar.
Everyone stares. "Get back to dry humping each other and buying my over-priced drinks," Pam yells at her customers.
Pam is not in a good mood. But more on that later.
Tara has found refuge outside Merlotte's where she scares Sam. "Help me. I'm hungry," she tells him. She doesn't reveal exactly what happened to her, but she is binging on TruBlood drink before passes out. Is that the vampire form of getting wasted?
Sam decides to keep her in the Merlotte's walk-in refrigerator. Sookie later reads his thoughts and finds out where her best friend is.
"Is she OK?" she asks Sam.
"Hell no. She's a vampire," he responds.
"It's like keeping a pet alligator in a bathtub," Lafayette says about keeping Tara in the frig. True, I guess. It seems like these two need to come up with a better plan.
Eventually, Tara escapes (shock) and scares the hell out of everyone at Merlotte's (especially Arlene) when she shows her fangs. "All I can think about is ripping your throats. So stay away from me or I'll do it," Tara says before leaving. Again.
Alcide sees what happens, which forces Sookie to tell him the truth about what happened to Debbie Pelt (her parents, meanwhile, are in town looking for their daughter). Understandably, Alcide freaks out, feels betrayed by Sookie and won't tell her if he'll tell someone what she has done (my guess: he won't).
The most interesting consequence of the whole Tara situation is he deep depression. At the end of the episode, she breaks into a beauty parlor, gets into a tanning bed in the back and turns it on — vampire suicide.

Mass layoffs by industry, June 2006
July 21, 2006
As summer officially began, school and employee bus transportation, food service contractors, and elementary and secondary schools were the three industries with the highest number of initial claims for unemployment compensation due to mass layoffs in June 2006.
School and employee bus transportation registered 18,267 initial claims, food service contractors recorded 11,707, and elementary and secondary schools accounted for 11,029—together, these three industries accounted for 25 percent of all initial claims in June.
Government establishments accounted for 12 percent of initial claims filed in June, largely in educational services as the school year ended.
These data are from the BLS Mass Layoff Statistics program. Learn more about mass layoff actions and workers filing for unemployment insurance benefits in "Mass Layoffs in June 2006" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 06-1235. Initial claimants are persons who file any notice of unemployment to initiate a request for compensation. Mass layoff events involve at least 50 initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits filed against a single establishment.

Touring Switzerland
Enjoying the natural beauty within and surrounding large cities is not a trait only found in the Pacific Northwest; it can be experienced on Bike Switzerland's Jura Tour.
Day One begins in a hip, sleek Basel hotel and ends in a quaint room in Saint Hippolyte, a seemingly ancient French town of less than a thousand people buried in a valley amidst huge tree-riddled mountains. The Jura mountain range, extending along Switzerland's western border with France, features small towns that have been largely forgotten by outsiders. Their beauty and hospitality are beginning to be recognized, however: many of the roads on the French side of the trip have been used in recent editions of the Tour de France.
Bike Switzerland's Jura Tour takes bicyclists from Geneva north to Basel along the Swiss side of the border and back to Geneva through the French countryside. Other than the two nights spent in a four-star Basel hotel, each evening is spent on a hotel patio surrounded by more mountains than buildings. Most nights feature a 3+ course meal but include a local specialty: a wheel of 12 local cheeses in Les Molunes, a taste of authentic absinthe made in the building next door in Couvet, or three courses of frog in Le Luisans. The showcasing of local goods and regional pride are what made the Jura Tour so unique.
The best part of the trip is Bike Switzerland's attention to detail in the planning of the tour. Yes, there are quicker ways from point A to point B. Yes, the itinerary could follow the Swiss National Bicycle Routes exactly. Yes, there probably are more famous hotels. But every scenic turn, every deviation from the guide book, and every lodging choice has been scouted beforehand and is reassessed after every tour to make sure bicyclists are experiencing Switzerland's (and, when applicable, France's) best. That the Bike Switzerland team was able to find views, roads, and small towns that stand out amongst all of Swizterland's beauty is quite the feat.
The Jura Tour includes 9 days of cycling and 7,000 meters of climbing over 700 kilometers. The hesitant should be comforted by the fact all Bike Switzerland bicycles have a triple chainring, almost 1,000 of those meters are gentle climbing on the first day, and every rider is provided with a GPS and guidebook. These additions allow individuals the opportunity to travel at their own pace and regroup throughout the day. Nearly all of the 700 kilometers are on Swiss National Bicycle routes, weaving through pastures, or on roads that see more bicyclists than cars, so there is little pressure to hurry.

There's a tradition at Yosemite National Park in California where a woodpile is set on fire and slowly pushed off a cliff, forming a burning cascade as it falls.
That image proved to be the inspiration that gave Firefall its name.
Formed in 1974 in Boulder, Colo., Firefall , with its string of top Country rock hits from two decades, is coming to the University of South Carolina at Lancaster's Bundy Auditorium stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Although winter doesn't start until Dec. 21, there are some no-cost and low-cost steps that can be taken to reduce household energy consumption and costs on a daily basis.
Take advantage of heat from the sun
– Open curtains on your south-facing windows during daylight hours to allow sunlight to naturally heat your home. Close them at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.
Cover drafty windows
Crowds of residents packed Main Street in downtown Lancaster on Saturday for the annual Veterans Day Parade. American flags waved in the wind along the street as cars full of those who served in every branch of U.S. Armed Services drove past the crowd.
Posted on the cars were the names of the veterans inside, as well as which branch of the military they served in and in which wars they fought.
There were veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq, as well as several former prisoners of war.
When 100 of South Carolina's World War II veterans fly to Washington, D.C., on Nov. 15 to tour the monument placed there in their honor, two Lancaster men will be among them. John Maltese, 86, of Indian Land and L.J. Vincent, 92, of Kershaw were selected for the very first Honor Flight South Carolina. They will visit several landmarks, including the National World War II Memorial in the nation's capital. The purpose of the nonprofit Honor Flight South Carolina is to fly veterans like Maltese and Vincent to and from the memorial free of charge.
Dr. Renee Bohn never considered the cards, letters and care packages she constantly sent to Sgt. Lavern Patterson in Iraq to be that big a deal. After all, Bohn said Patterson, who worked at Lancaster One Medical as a medical specialist, was part of her extended family. "I was just supporting my girl," Bohn said. But when Patterson, a Kershaw native with the S.C.

The S.C. National Guard's 3rd Battalion, 178th Field Artillery, once based in Lancaster was deactivated in August, but its legacy is alive and well.And now, thanks to the members of American Legion Post 31, the unit – called Palmetto Thunder by some and the "Third Herd" by others – won't be forgotten.Those who attend Saturday's Veterans Day ceremony will get a chance to see what gave that unit its ground-shaking name.
I'm originally from the small town of McColl, which is out in the woods somewhere between Clio and Bennettsville.Growing up, I heard a thousand times the tragic story of M.L. Jackson and his death at the hands of the Imperial Japanese Army. I vaguely remember kids running up and down the street beating on pots and pans one day.

Bubble bubble, toil and trouble, get ready for Halloween on the double!You don't need a magic spell to make your home the best haunt in town, just follow these decadent decorating tips to assemble a ghastly menu.Here are a few boo-tiful decorating ideas:– Place a branch in your chandelier, stretch fake spider webs over it, top with black plastic spider.

When it comes to baptism, age is never an issue.Neither is a medical condition. Just ask 83-year-old James Neely.Neely, who is confined to a wheelchair, was baptized Sept. 24 at Crestview Baptist Church.James' health might not be the best and he might be hard of hearing, but he realized it was time to make peace with the Lord at a recent singing at New Hope Baptist Church in Heath Springs, said his wife, Jackie Neely.The Neelys have been married for 60 years.
On a late afternoon, Ray and Barbara Fleming relax by soaking in the view from the front porch swing at their home at 317 Bailey Road.Hanging baskets filled with potato vines and ferns surround them while, just ahead, the front door is flanked by towers of ivy that winds and climbs along pointed wire forms.Rocking chairs welcome guests to join them to sit and enjoy the day, too.The view extends to the front yard where a blend of low-maintenance shrubs with colorful foliage are complemented by perennial and annual blooms.

When Sue Robinson felt a lump in her breast in February 2002, she knew she had cancer.
She had felt some pain first, and when she checked it out, she felt the lump.
"It was, of course, devastating," Robinson, 55, said. "It put me on my knees."
That was a Saturday. She called her doctor Monday, and a office assistant said her doctor could see her in two weeks.
"I said, 'You don't understand, I'm driving there right now,'" Robinson said.

The new data plans will start on May 22nd and bring along four new options: $10 for 200MB $20 for 2GB $30 for 5GB $60 for 10GB These changes bring absolutely no overages to T-Mobile customers although customers will be dropped to 2G speeds when they hit their monthly allotment. I don't know about our readers but I would have preferred to see T-Mobile provide an actual unlimited option in between the 5 and 10 GB range and not give us four different options. What say you?

EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, introduced the latest version of its EVG®40NT automated measurement system, which is designed to work in concert with the company's GEMINI® FB fusion wafer bonding system to support the manufacture of next-generation 3D-integrated CMOS image sensors. The enhanced EVG40NT measures wafer-to-wafer alignment accuracy to within 40 nm (3 sigma), while its seamless software integration with the GEMINI FB provides a closed-loop fusion bonding control system that enables the manufacture of ultra-fine-pitch (less than two micron) through-silicon vias (TSVs). These tighter specifications are necessary for enabling the production of 3D-integrated image sensors, and pave the way for accelerating 3D-integration with other device types, such as stacked memory.
"EV Group's GEMINI FB fusion wafer bonding platform is the de facto industry standard for CMOS image sensor production, and already leads the industry in wafer-to-wafer alignment accuracy due to our proprietary SmartView® alignment technology," stated Dr. Thorsten Matthias, business development director at EV Group. "The integration of GEMINI FB with the enhanced EVG40NT brings statistical process control and alignment accuracy to a whole new level, and pushes 3D-IC manufacturing to new limits. High-precision manufacturing requires accurate metrology that is seamlessly integrated into the process to enable real-time monitoring and fast corrective action. In the case of wafer bonding, measuring and mapping each die gives valuable insight into local stress variations created during upstream processes, which can cause distortions and local misalignments further downstream."
Fusion wafer bonding is ideally suited for 3D-integrated image sensors and other stacked devices because it is a room-temperature bonding process, which eliminates misalignment due to thermal expansion mismatch between the wafers. Having the ability to inspect the quality of the wafer bond and measure alignment accuracy prior to the final annealing step provides an easy rework path, thereby enabling 100-percent yield for wafer stacking. The GEMINI FB platform combines EVG's LowTemp plasma activation technology, wafer cleaning, SmartView wafer-to-wafer alignment and fusion wafer bonding in a single fully automated high-volume-manufacturing system. The EVG40NT performs highly accurate, non-destructive, top-to-bottom side alignment accuracy measurements on double-sided structured wafers or bond interfaces, as well as critical dimension and box-in-box measurements of single and double-sided structured wafers.
"Next-generation image sensors are the technological frontrunners for 3D-IC manufacturing technology," according to Hermann Waltl, executive sales and customer support director at EV Group. "High-density TSV arrays, sub-micron-diameter TSVs and ultra-thin wafers have all been successfully transferred into high-volume image sensor manufacturing. Now that adoption of wafer-to-wafer 3D stacking for image sensors is well underway, we expect to see 3D-integration follow very soon for other devices such as stacked memory."

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames - PS3 - Preview
E3 2006 First Look Preview
The intent was that it would be a next-gen title, but when Mercenaries released on the Xbox and PlayStation 2 consoles, it won legions of fans.
Pandemic is back at it and this time Mercenaries 2: World in Flames will release the skew being planned is the PlayStation 3. What that translates to is a game that is graphically detailed and rich and will certainly give Mercenary fans a lot to be excited about.
The first game was a twist on the Korean nuclear weapons situation, but in Mercenaries 2, the trio from the first game (with the addition of a fourth mercenary) will take on greed and the oil crisis.
For the first time the game brings cooperative multiplayer gaming to the fore. Players can join a game simply by plugging in a controller. What does that all mean? Eva, the new member of the team, may be called upon to provide aerial support while The Swede takes out enemies on the ground. Eva uses a new weapon, a grappling hook, to latch on to a nearby helicopter, climb up the rope and throw the pilot out of the window. After taking care of the opposition, as The Swede is blowing up the assigned target, Eva can decide to either rescue him or leave him there to collect the bounty on her own.
The theme of the game remains that anything the player sees can be destroyed, blown up or stolen.
The game also has lots of unscripted moments. The Swede can use his weapon to shoot holes in a tanker, and then use his Zippo to ignite the spilled gas for a very satisfying explosion.
Other features, according to the press release, include:

The Centers for Disease Control says there's an increasing number of infections caused by bacteria in public pools.
Now, there's a way you can test the pool your child may use this summer.
The website HealthyPools.org has free test kits. They'll send you strips to dip in the pool before you dive in.
The strip won't tell you if there's bacteria in the pool but will determine if the chlorine is high enough to kill bacteria.
Experts advise swimmers to always take a shower before jumping in. This will prevent you from bringing more bacteria into the pool.

The following may come across as "Duh!?" for some, but maybe not:
It has occurred to me that I must struggle. I know that sounds like a weird thing to say, because let's face it, most of us are lazy and want happiness thrust upon us. I've realized that without a bit of struggle, without throwing my world into upheaval, I will die miserable, and probably alone.
Incidentally, I came across this quote by George Stroumboulopoulos earlier today:
"I don't have a balanced life, and I don't want one. I need to be erratic. I need to be driven by high highs and low lows. I want emotional range in my life. I don't want my life to be easy. You know people say, I just want a good life. I don't fuckin' want a good life. What is that? I want to feel things. The most important lyric for me is Bob Dylan's 'He not busy being born, is busy dying.' So which guy do I want to be?"
Since my MELTDOWN in November whereby my future was considered for the first time in ages, I've done some serious contemplation. I realized that my life had been one of complete convenience, without a shred of struggle, and that my future was also doomed to the same stagnancy that corrupted my youth. It is quite amazing how long people can live lying to themselves, denying their true desires, goals, and ambitions.
Dillon departing for Korea made me think long and hard as to whether or not I'd be on the next plane over, following in his footsteps. I did want to teach, after all, and the experience would certainly look good on my teachers college application. And the money--the money would be nice too.
Course selection for Winter 09 classes begin. I can either kill myself to pursue my prestigious double-major, or I can take a couple classes and ultimately finish with a B.A. English without exertion. I think long and hard. I call around and ask people what they think. Do I need a double major? Should I just be done with school and actually start my life?
I was never unhappy, at least I don't think I was, but November brought upon a tinge of depression as great change suddenly side-swiped my unassuming ass. I woke up one day and realized, " Fool! You don't want to be a teacher! You want to string words together and have people think you're important!" I have always wanted to write, but I was certain I needed a "back-up". Realizing the "back-up" (ie, teaching) was something I had zero passion for, I started looking for "back-ups" that would suit my passions.
At the time I was reading The New Kings of Non-Fiction, and found myself invigorated by the possibilities of contemporary journalism. "I can be a journalist!" I told myself. Journalism would be the ideal back-up as I'd be doing some kind of writing on a daily basis. Then the search for schools began. Humber College seemed ideal for this new life-plan, but upon my research I came across another program: Writing for Television. Fools, I thought, breaking into film and television is a tough gig--good luck! Meanwhile, I'm attending Journalism seminars, half-listening because I'm plotting out a screenplay in my head.
One day I call Chris Richard, with tears in my eyes, and tell him about my disposition. I tell him the future is uncertain and it scares the shit out of me. He says, "I don't see that as a bad thing at all. The fact that you're calling me about this tells me you're unhappy on your current path, so think about it what's really important to you, and act on it." I thank him and hang up the phone. How can uncertainty be a positive thing? Naive bastard, I thought.
Sometime after this I lay in bed and cry, utterly confused and wondering "The universe is gonna fizzle out anyway, so what's the fucking point!? Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" followed by more tears and more confusion. Not long after my sissy-period I come across this nugget of truth, thanks to Tim:
"To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest...
...What does a man need – really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in – and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That's all – in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade. The years thunder by, the dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed. Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?"
--Sterling Hayden
In other words: Shut the fuck up, stop worrying about the "back-up", neglect so-called comfort and pursue your dreams. Back in November when I'd look to my future, I saw nothing but fog and it scared the shit out of me. I was in the process of derailing my life and my predetermined future was imploding inside my mind.
I decided to do away with the double-major and settled for the less prestigious B.A. English. Now I look to the future and I see that once foolish Writing for Television program at Humber, living in Toronto, and most importantly--WRITING. All the while, the forecast calls for poverty, unease, and anxiety ridden nights where I'll crouch in a corner, thumb in my mouth, weeping, "When will it happen? When will I be published? When will I have a film produced?" Nothing will go as planned and I'll lay awake most nights, restless.
I know it sounds all kinds of dreary, but it really isn't. It won't be easy, but it shouldn't be. I'm not deluded enough to think I'll be some measure of professional anytime soon, but goddamnit, for the first time in my life I'm doing away with convenience and I'm accepting the struggle required to achieve my dreams. Without struggling, I will grow conformable, and with that comes a lifetime of working at Zellers, hating my existence because I settled for a soul-crushing lot in life.
I will not have my dreams go unchallenged. I will not have my dreams mutate into nightmares that mock me for never realizing them. I look to the future and it's still really foggy, but I'm finally okay with that, because I'll actually be doing what I want to do.
Perhaps Chris wasn't so naive after all. Thanks, Chris, wherever you are...

Eat. Live. Read. And learn (from eating). London based. Thai. (Act on impulse).
This blog is a *rough draft* of what I come across culturally through eating. It focuses on one of the world's most multicultural food capitals, London, along with notes from far and wide. Usually, I archive my worldly travels on my Facebook Page HERE. I am also an Instagram addict, but I only put things I really love there.
I, so far, have been mentioned in The Huffington Post, CNN Travel, Four Magazine, Metro and TimeOut London and has also been featured by art and design magazines in Taiwan and Japan. And I write regularly for Wallpaper* Magazine (Thailand Edition) and occasionally for The Maitre D' column in Qatar Airways' Oryx In-Flight Magazine. I am also a contributor to FOOL magazine.
Between years 2012-13, I agreed to be followed around by a talented crew and share thoughts on what food (and "world's best" restaurants) is. This has materialized into a feature film called Foodies: The Culinary Jetset (to be released in 2014 in cinema worldwide by Fortissimo Films).

A proposal to strip away a key part of Utah's polygamy laws was scrapped for this year because of a pending legal case, a state lawmaker said Monday.
Rep. Jerry Anderson, R-Price, said he's abandoning his bill that would make Utah laws comply with a federal judge's ruling that struck down a key part of the state polygamy statute.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
In December, U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups threw out the part of the bigamy law that bans cohabitation.
Waddoups said the provision was a violation of the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of religion.
The Utah attorney general's office might appeal the ruling, so Anderson said he's dropping his proposal this year because lawmakers don't want to interfere.
Anderson said he originally introduced the bill because the cohabitation clause has made polygamous families illegal, creating tough situations for law enforcement. He said there are times when officers or prosecutors are reluctant to enforce the laws to break up families.
It also keeps those families in the shadows, which interferes with government interests such as U.S. Census counts, he said.
"Beyond that, I didn't have any ideas about promoting polygamy."

Phone line rentals can add up to be quite an expensive outgoing for many houses, especially as the prices always seem to be on the rise. Many people don't even use their home phone for calls but are stuck needing one in order to access broadband services. If you actually look around though, there are plenty of deals available from providers once you move past the big name companies like BT, and if you're already online or can get access to a computer the internet is a great place to compare cheap phone line deals.
In fact, companies like BT are normally the ones offering the most expensive deals overall, especially for people who rarely use their landline and prefer to use the free minutes on their mobile or Skype to make cheap or free calls at any time of the day. If you've currently got BT as your home phone provider you could save more than £60 per year on your line rental by switching to a different provider. If you've never switched before there's a pretty good potential saving to be made on a yearly basis.

There are other ways you can keep your home phone cheap that don't involve switching over and take advantage of deals that may already be offered by your current company. Always make sure that you opt for paper-free billing. This will almost always provide a small discount but is obviously on useful if you have access to the internet where you can check your bills and pay without hassle. Remember that you should always pay your bills by monthly direct debit where available as it's normally the only payment option that won't incur more costs on a monthly basis.
If your phone company offers extra features that cost a certain amount every month, check to see if you can get a phone that can offer these features without having to pay out to your phone company. Some services, like Caller ID, need to be activated by your provider but other services like an answering phone don't require payment if you have the right equipment. Check your latest bill and see what extras services you are paying for and remove any you aren't using. Even if they aren't very expensive they can add up over time.

MILLBURN, N.J. ( Stockpickr) -- Last September, when we were in the midst of an earlier round of European sovereign and bank debt panic, I introduced a portfolio of 10 Low-Volatility Stocks for a Rising Volatility Environment, which included such stocks as Procter & Gamble (PG) and Wal-Mart (WMT).
The two criteria for inclusion in the portfolio were one-year historical volatility less than that of the S&P 500 and current dividend yields in excess of that of the S&P 500.
>>5 Blue-Chip Stocks Ready to Boost Dividends
Once again, we are in the middle of a European centric credit crisis. The global stock markets have fallen, and volatilities have surged for the S&P 500 to levels not experienced since the fourth quarter of last year.With that in mind, I have selected 10 more stocks that meet the same criteria. (As of the day I ran the search, the one-year realized volatility for the S&P 500 was 23.4%, and the index' dividend yield was 2.1%.) >>ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out Stockpickr's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now! Vector Group Vector Group (VGR) operates two very disparate businesses. First is the tobacco business, through both the Liggett Group and Vector Tobacco.

Hazard Risk Category Levels
The chart, based on specific job tasks, ranges from HRC 1 (which is low risk and allows for 100% treated cotton), up to HRC 4 (which is high risk and requires FR clothing with a minimum arc rating of 40). The HRC is used to determine the necessary arc rating of a garment worn during a given job task. Wearing multiple layers of clothing may be required to obtain the necessary rating required for your job. Only your employer can tell you the required level of protection required for your job.
The NFPA has identified four FR hazardous risk category levels, which are numbered by severity from 1 to 4. Hazard Risk Category is the level of arc flash protection clothing you must wear to protect against a minimum level of incident energy measured in calories per centimeter sqared. Meaning, electrical equipment, depending upon the energy delivering capability, under fault conditions can cause an explosion, or arc fault of a certain level, again measured in calories per centimeter squared. That explosion can deliver a certain amount of heat to a certain distance. Each level, 0-4, is rated at a certain amount of flame resistance, again measured in cal/cm2.
ARC Rating Explained
A value of the energy necessary to pass through any given fabric to cause with 50% probability a second or third degree burn. This value is measured in calories/cm². The necessary Arc Rating for an article of clothing is determined by a Hazard/Risk Assessment and the resulting HRC. Usually measured in terms of ATPV or EBT. Simple put the ARC rating determines the protective characteristics of the fabric. The higher the ARC rating value the greater the protection. When the product is sold to protect workers from arcing faults, clothing manufacturer are required in indicate the ARC rating.
The National Fire Protection Association, known as NFPA, was established in 1896, it's mission is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education. NFPA is the world's leading advocate of fire prevention and an authoritative source on public safety, NFPA develops, publishes, and disseminates more than 300 consensus codes and standards intended to minimize the possibility and effects of fire and other risks. For more info visit www.nfpa.org.
NFPA 2112 Explained
NFPA 2112 provides minimum performance criteria and sets clear guidelines for minimum design, performance, certification requirements and test methods for Flame Resistant garments for use in areas at risk from flash fires�such as those where flammable gases or vapors, or combustible dusts might be present. The standard calls for flash fire testing to be conducted at three seconds with a pass/fail rate of 50% total body burn under ASTM F1930 (Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Flame Resistant Clothing for Protection Against Flash Fire Simulations Using an Instrumented Manikin) testing protocols. Bulwark garments have been certified by Underwriters laboratories to the requirements of NFPA 2112, Standard on Flame Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire and Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) Standard 155.20, Workwear for protection against Hydrocarbon Flash Fire.

These include:Continued rise in hospital costs.Concerns about patient safety and quality.Little change in the core health care processes over decades.Silos of care provision.Little application of knowledge from other industries.Enormous redundancies in care delivery processes.Numerous patient handoffs.Major workforce shortages.Employee dissatisfaction.Resident work hour limitations.Limited involvement of the patients and their families in hospital care.Patient dissatisfaction.Although the impact of each one of these factors may vary from system to system, all of these factors impact every health care delivery system to some degree. At Denver Health, of most concern at this point in time were the following: costs, safety, quality, lack of change in processes through the application of tools from other industries, redundancies in processes, and workforce shortages. This led us to focus on tools which addressed these major concerns. It is critically important for the leadership of a system to articulate these forces and how they necessitate change.

When I was in Japan a few months ago (before coming back to Sydney- but more on that later!) I was shooting for Madame Figaro. They asked if i could bleach my eyebrows for the job, which was fine with me, but i suggested the stylist do it to….and she did! It's a pretty wicked look, but becomes pretty weird when your brows start to grow out again!
Just before Christmas, Puma threw the best party in honour of there famous shoe the mostro, which has been around as long as I have. Ping Pong, Live music and plenty of laughs.
My ping Pong Partner Maude and I preparing for the match ahead - decked on in Puma.
ACTION SHOT: I clearly have this shot, but Maude is ready just incase.
09's Christmas was filled with fun times!
Our lunch was asian inspired food, it was themed this year, it was such amazing food cooked by my Aunty and cousins. We had my Uncle taking our family portraits and group photos, which we get done every year.
A few of my older cousins and I took to my cousins room, cranked the music, had a dance and dressed up in her clothes, shortly after we were joined by most of the family in her medium sized room! it was good fun playing around with them!
By the end of the night after the pudding was lit on fire and the cheesecake was eaten, all 23 of us took a musical instrument and had a family jam session, great time to bond at Christmas.
Theses are a few photos from our dancing dress up time in my cousins room!
Hope you all had a fab x-mas!
Out and about in New York City. We went to check out all the pretty lights and the market up in Columbus Circle.
Bought a really nice christmas tree, my Canadian Lumberjack boyfriend carried it all the way home.
At the end of our day we had a SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!!!! I got a bit wet but it was so much fun!!!!
Me moosing around NYC =)
My friend Chris and I showing off the staches!
I just got back from a from beautiful Bali, While I was there I researched alot into the facilities for animals as anyone who has been to Bali knows they are not known for their great treatment to animals, I found a great center that looks after the dogs that have been neglected Bali Street Dog Foundation jump on and donate, every penny counts.
I also found this great elephant adventure park up in the Taro forest, where you can ride the elephants for half and hour through the forest and man made lakes, these elephants are well looked after and the park is fantastic.
This is Deli, she is 23 years old, and has been in Indonesia for 5 years.
The strangest feeling sitting on an elephants head!!

An amazing park and such a memory. Check it out here
Got away to a friends farm in Berry, Australia. The air alone is enough to recharge your battery but a view like this doesn't hurt either.

Online Video Viewing Trends
Metacafe recently commissioned a study to find out who in America is watching online video, how much and what kinds. The results were just released and might be surprising.
Metacafe asked Frank N. Magid Associates to do a new study on what kind of video people are watching online. A surprising 77% of U.S. Internet users are watching online video and 43% viewing something weekly. This was claimed to be 'critical mass' by the researchers though I can't really see why.
I think online video has already been sustaining itself for sometime so calling these numbers critical mass seems a mistake. Plus there's still more room for growth as far as I'm concerned. There's no reason to believe that no less than 100% of internet users will in the future watch some sort of video online and I'm sure the weekly viewers will top 50%. Of course that's me being the optimistic one.
Some numbers that brought a smile to my face in the study included the fact that 37% of users who watched video of a professional quality online (TV clips, movie trailers, sports highlights, music videos, short films, etc) found them as or more enjoyable than watching full length stuff on TV.
Of all respondents 41% found them to be 'somewhat' as entertaining which is a vague way to go about things if you as me. Does somewhat as entertaining mean more or less? I'm somewhat confused by the meaning of that. I guess just having more/less or the same amount as options would have been too easy.
The research was done in survey form and polled 1,927 people from age 12-64 this past April. The strongest demographic was males 18-24 where 70% said they watched something weekly. But that's not to say they are the only people out there watching it.
A full third of all respondents age 55-64 watched weekly online video and over one-third (34%) watch TV and surf the web simultaneously more than half the time. Couple that with 20% saying that they watch less TV because of online video and you can see a trend away from traditional broadcast TV and toward online video. Now I'm not saying broadcast TV is dead... I'm sure half of the video being watched online was originally aired on television including series, sports and more.
Nielsen on the other hand believes that both TV and online video viewing is growing. That might be true considering that people have had to cut back on external entertainment options like film, etc. Their latest Three Screen report states that people are watching 153 hours of TV while only taking in 3 hours of online video. Again, considering that most online video is far shorter than a standard television show or sporting event, this is really no surprise. However I do find the TV viewing alarmingly high. That means that people are watching 5 hours per day?
In regards to online video and ads, people have shown more acceptable (52%) in online video than in TV shows. On the negative side 20% said they didn't like it and 28% weren't sure. Considering that the majority of online video viewers has never lived through an era where television shows did not have ads I find these numbers strange. I wish they would report the consumers' reasoning behind this. Are they saying the ads are a good tradeoff so that they can watch the videos when they want, where they want?
While short-form, professional clips were favored, full-length shows like that of Hulu's offerings, are growing in favor. Hulu is still growing in both number of viewers and number of streams which was offered up as proof of this last statement. Other sites are showing increasingly longer videos with the average at Blip.tv being 14 minutes where most used to be under 5 minutes and there used to be a two-minute limit. Will YouTube look to boosting its time limit as well or will they prefer to stay in the short-form arena and let others take on the longer videos? Only time will tell but if this trend continues I think they will need to do so in order to survive.

Jerry Bruckheimer, one of Hollywood's most powerful producers, is returning home.
The veteran filmmaker, who had an enormously successful run on the Paramount Pictures lot with "Flashdance," "Beverly Hills Cop," "Top Gun" and other movies in the 1980s and early 1990s, is headed back to the studio.
Bruckheimer, 70, signed a three-year, first-look deal with the Viacom Inc.-owned studio. It begins in April, after his 23-year partnership with Walt Disney Co. ends. Financial terms of the arrangement were not disclosed.
The deal is a coup for Paramount, which since 2012 has seen its lucrative partnerships with DreamWorks Animation and Marvel Studios end. Its market share has shrunk as a result of releasing fewer movies.
PHOTOS: Jerry Bruckheimer's No.1 films for Disney
Bruckheimer will provide a boost to the studio, churning out the sort of splashy action pictures that have defined his four-decade-plus career, though Paramount's slate isn't expected to grow on an annual basis as a result of the deal.
"This is a step in the right direction in the wake of those [DreamWorks Animation and Marvel] losses," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at entertainment industry data firm Rentrak. "It's a perfect time for Paramount to get back in that groove."
The producer's first films under the new agreement will hearken back to his Paramount glory days, and they won't lack for star power: Bruckheimer plans to make a "Beverly Hills Cop" movie that would star Eddie Murphy, and "Top Gun 2," which would be top-lined by Tom Cruise.
Rebooting those iconic franchises could be a boon for Paramount, which has its share of tent-pole film series in the "Transformers" and "Star Trek" pictures, but has trailed competitors such as Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures at the box office the last two years.
Bruckheimer told The Times that he considered making a deal with another movie studio, but in the end felt most comfortable reuniting with Paramount.
"We talked to everybody, and we felt that when you look at the strength of their marketing and distribution, it's at the top of the heap," Bruckheimer said.
The producer said he was particularly impressed with how Paramount handled the marketing and release of last summer's "World War Z," an expensive Brad Pitt-starring thriller that was the subject of much media scrutiny over its budget and production issues. The movie took in $540 million worldwide.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
Bruckheimer experienced his share of criticism this year after his most recent Disney picture, "The Lone Ranger," bombed at the box office, grossing $261 million worldwide. The movie cost an estimated $225 million to produce and tens of millions of dollars more to market.
"I saw with 'World War Z,' I saw how the media beat up on them — like we got beat up on 'Lone Ranger' — and I saw how they handled it and it was a successful movie," he said.
Bruckheimer spoke fondly of his association with Disney, a run that generated 27 pictures and more than $9 billion in global box-office receipts, Rentrak said.
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
He said that the poor performance of "The Lone Ranger" did not "have much to do with leaving" Disney, a stance he has taken publicly since late September, when it was announced that his deal with Walt Disney Studios would not be renewed.
"We aren't immune to pictures that don't quite live up to their expectations," Bruckheimer said, but added that his departure from Disney is "more about wanting to spread my wings and do more than PG and soft PG-13 movies."

- Unknown
- Production year: 2011
- Country: Rest of the world
- Cert (UK): 12A
- Runtime: 113 mins
- Directors: Jaume Collet-Serra
- Cast: Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz, Diane Kruger, Frank Langella, January Jones, Liam Neeson
Here is the week's second conspiracy thriller, one with a nifty final twist, but it is so joyless and heavy-handed I found it impossible to like. Liam Neeson and January Jones play a married couple who go to Berlin for a scientific conference. A car wreck puts Neeson in a coma; he awakes to find that a different man has taken over his identity, his job and indeed his wife. He panics, rants and raves, but no one believes him. What's going on? It's all promising stuff with an ingenious ending. Neeson is a stolid, alpha-male presence but, to me, he never looks seriously scared or worried.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! You might be wondering what the whole "Flash Mob" thing is all about, but we'll get to that in a second. First, we're going to talk a bit about the Irish whiskey that I'm sipping on this St. Paddy's Day.
As it is clearly displayed on all of their bottles, Bushmills began with a license in 1608. The Old Bushmills Distillery name and Pot Still trademark were registered in 1784 with recorded production beginning just a few years later. Needless to say, long before I cracked open this bottle. Destroyed by fire in 1885 the distillery was restored back to operation until production was yet again halted during WWII. However, Bushmills survived and by the 1950s became increasingly popular, especially here in the US. Fast forward to 2013 and there are quite a few from all around the globe sipping on a dram today.
Bushmills Black Bush is a blended Irish whiskey made up of 80% malt whiskey and 20% grain whiskey – Grain whiskies are used in blends to help mellow them out. Of course there is no age statement, but it is said to be matured in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks for up to seven years. I would say it is the sherry cask maturation that lends its color, but there's more than likely a little caramel coloring in here as well.
Price: Approx $40/750ml
Color: Gold / Light Amber
Nose: Honey, pear, spiced red apple, raisins, caramel, faint cocoa, pecans, and nutmeg.
Palate: Nice and sweet, like the nose honey begins the approach and develops into some light spices and a bit of dark fruits. Some of that chocolate, caramel and pecans we saw in the nose as well. Smooth and light, no water here.
Finish: Moderate to long and sweet with hints of spices.
Overall it has a very nice nose and a sweet, slightly complex palate. This is a wonderful blended whiskey; love the sherry influence in it. If there's anything that loves this whisky, though, it's the cork; just soaks it up from the bottle like a sponge. Guess I don't have to worry about this one drying out.
As for the whole flash mob thing, well I might not be the only person who is reviewing Bushmills Black Bush this St. Paddy's Day… Whisky bloggers are taking over. Go to Twitter and discover the hashtag #BushmillsMB. Cheers, and have a happy and safe St. Patrick's Day!
