In non-China related news, check out my piece on walking through the Punk Couture show at the Met with Scott Treleaven…
Before we entered the exhibition, we spent some time in the atrium, which featured, along with two mannequins—one wearing a bondage outfit by Westwood and McLaren, and another in House of Dior—a projected film of the Sex Pistols playing live at London's 100 Club in 1976. There, Treleaven explained his theory of the origins of punk, which he thinks emerged from a generation of children growing up in the wake of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. "The good guys actually turned out to be the most colossal monsters imaginable," he said. "When you grow up and realize that the people on your side can make genocidal gestures-the only thing it provokes is despair." It is from this despair that he believes the punk ethos of "no future" emerged.
"It's ironic we're having this discussion when it's just been revealed that the 'good guys' like President Obama are spying on every human being in the United States," he said. "We expected so much."

When Partners HealthCare, the big Boston hospital group, announces its financial results each quarter, what often stands out are not the gains and losses for providing medical services. It's the investment and debt portfolios.
With $7.5 billion in assets under its watch — more than at most community banks — Partners feels the swerves of the stock market in a big way. And there's another significant factor in the quarterly swings: a complex hedging strategy on Partners' debt. Together, these are often the tail that wags the dog.

"I am using the adhesive tags on gift bags to give guests at an upcoming wedding rehearsal dinner. We changed the color of the names to gold to match the teal and gold decorations we are using ---- so very cute! Put them on teal, gold, and white gift bags which contain fun items (champagne, nuts, water, sunscreen, Tylenol, salt water taffy, gold fish, etc. as the wedding is at the beach). The color of the tag seems to be more teal than turquoise. Once again, we so appreciate the custom design options and extremely FAST service. The stickers arrived several days before promised."
"I personalized this sticker for my Alice in Wonderland themed Bridal Shower and put the stickers on mini mason jars filled with candy. The labels were really cute and fit perfectly. Well made, great color. Happy customer!"
"we used the stickers for party favors at a bridal tea party and it was the perfect embellishment. we used it on anything we can find because the stickers were so cute!"
"Loved this style. We selected the grey and white version. I really liked the ability to customize text and fonts to make it more personal. We received a number of compliments. Being able to carry the theme from save the date cards to gift tags was great."
"I had these printed for the handmade soy candles we are giving away at my cousin's bridal shower. I was able to edit the text and pick the color I wanted. Worked out really well!"

The growth center or growth plate is the area where tissue develops near the end of the long bones in children and adolescents. Each long bone has at least two growth (epiphyseal plates) — one at each end. When growing is finished sometime during adolescence, the growth plate is replaced by solid bone.
The growth center is weaker than the nearby ligaments and tendons that connect bones to other bones and muscles. Since the growth plate is the weakest part of the growing skeleton, injuries frequently happen there. An injury that would cause a sprain in an adult would be more likely to damage a child's growth plate.
Usually these injuries are fractures — as much as one-third of all childhood fractures. They are twice as likely to occur in boys than in girls. Girls' bodies mature earlier than boys' bodies, so their growth plates are replaced by stronger bone at an earlier age.
Growth plate fractures most often occur in these bones:
Most growth plate injuries in children result from a fall, usually while running or playing. Competitive sports including football, basketball, baseball and softball, track and field and gymnastics also create the environment for these injuries, as do recreational activities such as biking, sledding, skiing and skateboarding and roller blading.
When a growth plate injury is suspected, orthopaedic surgeons at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia will take an X-ray of the area. If a fracture is found, a cast or splint is the first treatment option.
In about 10 percent of cases, our orthopaedic surgeons will need to return the bones or joints to correct positions. This may be done by hand (manipulation) or through surgery. After the procedure, the bone will be set in place to give it a chance to heal without movement. Our casting experts will enclose the fractured growth plate and the joints on both sides of it. Casts need to remain in place from several weeks up to several months.

12 Steps for Better Drug Testing Results
March 4, 2010 at 13:50
Eric Schellhorn
Posted in
Chemical presumptive narcotics identification systems, such as the NIK® Polytesting System and the ODV NarcoPouch® and NarcoTest® lines are some of the most widely-used field drug testing systems used in law enforcement today. Law enforcement officers are expected to combine their investigative skills and experience, knowledge of the characteristics of suspected narcotics and familiarity with the expected color reactions from field tests to correctly identify suspected narcotics.

As a former Army officer assigned to an M1 tank battalion, I spent a lot of time around M2 ("Ma Deuce") .50 Cal Heavy Barrel Machine Guns and became intimately familiar with their operation and capabilities. I shot them out to 2000 meters against both "soft" targets like trucks and "hard" targets like old armored vehicles. There's nothing quite as exciting as seeing the splash of a .50 cal tracer round hitting an old half track in the middle of the night. Recently, one of our salesmen had the...

There has been some concern within the Law Enforcement Community recently about drug traffickers cutting raw heroin with a variety of peroxide-based substances. While this sounds fairly innocuous, a basic understanding of the chemistry used in most LE drug test kits will tell you that mixing the acid-based chemical test reagents with peroxide-based compounds results in the release of sulfuric acid which is highly corrosive and can cause burns.

We constantly get product ideas and requests from our customers. Most times, the ideas are great. Unfortunately, many of ideas never make it to the market because they aren't feasible from a business standpoint. For example, a while back one of our customers suggested using copper tape as a disposable grounding plate for an electrostatic dustmark lifter. Everybody loved it...until they saw the price. We face this problem daily. The Forensics industry is a relatively small, niche market, so...

La Jolla, Calif. – Cal State Northridge faced one of the elite women's collegiate water polo teams on Saturday afternoon at the UCSD Invitational, the #2-ranked USC Trojans.
What is so special about USC? The Trojans have advanced to the NCAA championship game four of the last five years. That includes an NCAA title in 2010. In 2011, the Trojans finished the year 23-6, but lost in the national championship game, 6-4, to Stanford University.
The Matadors, ranked 17th in the nation, kept the game close for two periods, but the Trojans outscored CSUN, 4-0, in the third period en route to a 9-2 victory.
USC led 1-0 after the first period, and advanced the margin to two goals at halftime, 3-1.
Lindsy Nelson scored two goals for Cal State Northridge.
The Matadors are now 7-2. USC is 2-0.
CSUN returns to action on Sunday (8:30 am) to face Long Beach State. The game will be played at the Triton Pool at UC San Diego.
Earlier on Saturday, Cal State Northridge fought back from a two-goal deficit in the final 3:58 of the game to post a 13-12 victory over Hartwick College (Onenota, NY) in first round play at the UCSD Invitational.
After the first period ended at 3-3, the Matadors outscored the Hawks, 5-2, in the second stanza to take an 8-5 halftime lead. Four different Matador players scored at least one goal in the second period. Jenny Jamison led CSUN in the second period with two goals.
CSUN led, 9-7, after three periods, but Hartwick scored four straight goals to take an 11-9 lead with 3:58 to play.
Lindsy Nelson scored one of her team-leading four goals at 3:32 to cut the Hawks lead to one goal, 11-10. One minute later, Melissa Doll tied the game at 11-11.
CSUN took a 12-11 lead with 2:02 to play on a Marisa Young goal. Hartwick then tied the game with 55 seconds left.
Then with 24 seconds to play, Katie Kammer fired a shot past the Hartwick goalkeeper for the CSUN game winner, 13-12.
Complete results of the UCSD Invitational are available at www.ucsdtritons.com.

County to rule on seven story project
Builders will start work within 12 months on Terrell Creek Villas on the Bay, featuring, at seven stories, the tallest building yet to abut the Birch Bay shoreline.
The developer, however, is at pains to emphasize what's not being built, which is a permitted nine-unit condo on the small peninsula that is separated by Terrell Creek from Birch Bay Drive. The site is where an amusement park was once located.
"We just couldn't see putting
any units out there at all," said Larry Willman of
the land use consulting firm Intergroup Development in
an interview November 15. Instead, Willman said, the area
will have walking paths and some private picnicking areas
for Terrell Creek Villa residents. The parcel is just north
of the BayRim Condominium complex, and north of the Alderson
Road Birch Bay Drive intersection.
Willman, whose firm represents the property's owner Pacific Land and Development, said that a nine-unit condominium project was permitted five years ago on that property but was never built. Architect David Christensen has instead designed three buildings that will be constructed on the part of the 10.5 acre tract that lies east of Birch Bay Drive. Two of the buildings will be 35 feet tall and will stand at the site's north and south extremities.
The third, the 75-foot high seven story tower, will be set back from the other two buildings to provide a central courtyard and break up what otherwise might have been a broad expansive mass right on Birch Bay Drive.
"Rather than build the biggest in front, we're reversing that," Willman said, "and then behind the tower are the wetlands. When we're finished only 25 percent of the area will actually be developed, and the other 75 percent will be left.
Willman hosted a neighborhood meeting Wednesday, November 16 at the Birch Bay Community Church on Jackson Road to describe the project. In addition to normal building permits it will require both a conditional use permit for the 75-foot building height and a shoreline substantial development permit because of its location and value.
The Whatcom County Planning and Development staff have recommended conditional approval. The matter will be reviewed in a public hearing by Whatcom County hearing examiner Michael Bobbink on December 14.

What Emile said... plus some.
Arcurion casts the ability called Chains of Frost, which roots players in place. The boulders are actually thrown by adds that are above players, on the sides of the canyon. The range of the boulder hit is what those circles indicate. You can't avoid the roots, but you should definitely be out of the circles as much as possible, so you don't get rooted into where a boulder hits.
As for Mannoroth and Varo'then, the biggest damage dealer in the fight is an ability called Magistrike Arc, granted to the player via the 'elven magic' from in Varo'then's sword embedded in Mannoroth. From what I can tell, it is procced from your abilities, so the best way to utilize it is to use instant abilities, no matter how small their normal damage is. Heh, isn't everything instant for a feral? Just do your best to keep your Berserk and Tiger's Fury going, spam abilities with low energy cost, and thanks to the short 'swing' time for a feral's white damage, it should be easy to scrape out 100k+ on this encounter. (I'm not sure how dots work with that ability.)
Thanks for this guide. I always like to read about how to approach fights from specific specs, especially when it's an alt that I love, but that I just don't know every trick for.

Has/Is Religion really a hinderance to science? What are the consequences?
Personally, I believe religion has always been a hinderance because religion always have been very unreasonable and thereby impossible to discuss things with, because everything was already settled.
Through time the church has hunted down scientists and people who believed in Darwin or back when they believed the Earth was flat and some said round.
What do you think the world would look like if religion hadn't existed?
Do you think religion is a result of primitivity?
That the human brain finds peace within rules and discipline -- that the only reason religion exist is due to these primitive needs to find irrelevant meaning?
Do you think religion today still is a hinderance to science?
Personally I believe that overall, there are more negative outcomes of religion than positive. I'd love to be proven wrong. Can you do that? (And the answer HAS to be open to discussion. NO MORE Religious "It's like that because I say so, and I won't believe otherwise and shut my ears to anything that contradicts me and the belief system I have chosen.")

Linda Taylor 50+Feb 10 2013: You know, sometimes I get mad at the Greeks for separating them in the first place. Both religion and science try to explain who we are and how we walk in this world. I sometimes think if they had stayed together religion would have moved forward with science instead of staying in the bronze age.
But in the current time, of course religion hinders science. But science without some type of ethics is evil and there are many many examples of this. Right now in the US, religion provides one method for ethical review. Unfortunately it oversteps its bounds. Embryonic stem cell research for instance.
Maybe some day in the future we can have them intertwined again. Science is quickly becoming a religion anyway.
Feb 11 2013: Stop saying that science is a religion! It has none of the characteristics of a religion or rather all of the characteristics that religion does not have.
It is based on empirical evidence.
Theories must account for observed events.
Theories must be falsifiable and as many attempts to disprove a theory are done as to prove it.
If observed facts show the theory is wrong, it is considered wrong and thrown away
There are no authorities in any science. Everything can be questioned.
It doesn't matter what you believe. If the evidence proves otherwise you must change your way of thinking.
What religion (that actually calls itself a religion) has any of those characteristics?
Linda Taylor 50+Feb 11 2013: Oh please. Religion and science both try to answer the same questions. Both offer explanations for cosmology, a theory of life, a theory of our origins, a reason for existence. Both value life, specifically HUMAN life above all others. Talk about a whacko belief system.
The high priests of science use mathematics and data to define reality and truth which in the past were domains of religion. All the little disiples look at the mathematics and data and go "oooh it is reality." Yet still cannot explain how we fall in love. Maybe it is not real. There are theories of how we fall in love which formulate the belief system. Just like the theory of creation. Pick one. Any one cause they are all about the same.
Both scientists and people of faith are passionate about their belief systems and will defend their view of the world. Ad nauseum. Science gives comfort and gives us a sense of control. In fact, a whole lot about science is about control. That is why it appeals to people. But control is an illusion so maybe science is an illusion just as much as religion. The really sad part is when the high priests of science use that illusion and put out bad science.
Tradition is highly valued in science as it is in religion. Just try disproving a theory. You had better have the right training and credentials and you better know the right people or you will be disregarded. Disproving highly held traditional beliefs in science is not easy.
Religion tries to define what is good and evil. Well science uses philosophy to answer those questions. Ethics are finally being integrated into science but we have for so long seen unethical research and manipulated data there is a real distrust and disbelief. To disbelieve something, you have to believe it in the first place. The establishment of right and wrong is final piece where science crosses the last bastion of religion. Telling us how to act and behave has now become the domain of science. Religion at last
Feb 11 2013: Oh right...In the beginning....good answer.
Please name any scientific advances propsed by Religion this year (or any year for that matter)
Pick a topic. Cosmology does not address love and would be ridiculed if it tried.
Not control...understanding.
Disproving a theory is how you get a Nobel Prize. Its not easy, but anyone can do it. There are no authority figures in science.
Science may be interested in tell us how and why we act the way we do, but it is not interested in telling us what to do.
There are good people and bad people in every endevour, religious, medical, psychological and scientific. That's because they are people.
What has made you so strident about science. Were you bitten by a nerd as a child?
Linda Taylor 50+Feb 11 2013: LOL I am a nerd. But I am not a blind nerd. Of course science tells us how to act and behave. It tells us what to eat and what not to eat just like religion. It tells us to wear seat belts. It tells us what laws to pass. And on and on...
I disagree. Only the high priests of science can change a theory. You are out of luck if you do not belong to that club. Nobel prize is not the be all end all.
Religion has not made any scientific advances because it is split from science. But science is definitely a religion. You either believe it or you do not.
All science is about control. Just try to set up an experiment without addressing the parameters of error. You are judged by other high priests based on your ability to control. It is all about control.
Feb 11 2013: What are the reasons that science tell you what not to eat vs the reasons that religion may do the same. Do you not see the difference?
On your second point you are flat wrong. Anyone can change a theory, you just have to have a better theory. Actually in this context the word should be hypothesis as theory means some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. You would have to come up with a hypothesis and then others would prove it was more correct than the existing theory. I'm sorry if that is too complicated for you but then you only want good theories not opinions or belief system.
Science need not be split from religion if only religion was not so quick to condem and supress knowledge gained through science. Remember Galileo, how about evolution?
Your example of setting up an experiment without considering error makes no sense. Why would you perform an experiment without considering where error can creep into your system? You would not. That does not make you a control freak
Feb 11 2013: Science is based on reason. So the reason science has reason is because that is how it arrives at telling us what to eat. I wonder if anyone eats wheat germ any more? Amazing how so much science puts money into peoples pockets from fake sweetener makers to supplements. I have a suspicion that reason is also why eating habits are incorporated into religion. Maybe the high priests of the Jewish nation saw that people who ate pork tended to die from tricchinosis. Maybe they thought they had better weave that in to their religion to make people stop eating it. Not very much different from today only the religion is different.
I am not wrong about theory. Just look at history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superseded_scientific_theories
Name any one of those superseded theories that were overturned by lay people. Heck, name ANY theory that was overturned by a lay person. They call it peer review for a reason. Peer review establishes the boundaries of the club. In the real world, if you have information that would turn over a theory you go to the biggest guy working on that theory. And if he decides your information is worthy, he might present it, typically as his own to 'give it credibility.'
Like I said, science was split from religion back with the Greeks. Somewhat earlier than Galileo. It was hardcore divided by then.
I am not a control freak but I know a ton about control. I know how it is done and ALL science does it. In fact, you are not a scientist if you do not control. The other thing to point out is that all science has error so we never say the results of an experiment are true. See science fakes you out that way. Claiming to establish truth by proving the not true. (see null hypothesis) You can't get more faith based than that.
Feb 11 2013: The term science was coined in 1833. Before that everyone was considered a Natural Philosopher or some even more ancient term.
I would hardly call shills for big pharma and food companies scientists. They are certainly not on par with physicists or cosmologists.
Copernicus for example who overthrew the Ptolemaic theory of earth centred solar system.
He was a mathematician, astronomer and jurist with a degree in law. A lay person as far as astronomy went.
This wasn't new though since Aristarchus came up with it first (320 BC) although didn't understand gravity and couldn't defend it against "common sense" of Aristotle.
The whole concept of science and scientists has been evolving over the last 2 or 3 hundred years and what we consider the scientific method today really doesn't apply to far into the past.
I doubt very much that the split between religion and science split back at the Greeks since people like Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Boyle were all Christians.
The split has come since then as science moved on to explore more and more of our universe and religion has stood still and railed against their control being eroded.
If you know so much about control you should look at organized religion. It is a second government that no one needs.
Feb 11 2013: Religion and science were split well before Copernicus et al. They were two distinct disciplines and the leaders in each were not the same people. You needed special training by then to be one or the other. They did not work interdisciplinary outside of the need to tell each other they were wrong.
I love how you stratify science. It is good science if it comes from physicists but poorer (or somehow defined as lower) science comes from big pharma. Hmm you must be aware of some criteria for stratification that I am unaware of.
Copernicus was all you describe and by virtue of the description was not a lay person. He was highly educated for the time in multiple disciplines. Does not fit my definition of lay person and does not equate with "anyone can change a theory."
I agree with you that science has been changing over the last 2-3 hundred years. It is becoming more like religion. Understand that I do and love science to a fault. But that does not mean that science is faultless. Don't tell me to stop calling it a religion because outside of a diety, it pretty much is. The no-god religion.

Log Rack Cover - Small 56 56
Firewood log rack and cover Well made, easy to assemble and the waterproof cover is very nice. September 10, 2014
Nice Choice for Log Rack Cover The cover fits well and is accessible from both sides of the front flap. Metal rings on the bottom allow for sturdily attaching the cover to the rack, and the fabric looks strong. Good buy in a color that blends well with most house colors. June 12, 2014
Nice small rack for firewood I bought this log rack to go with my outdoor fireplace. It looks nice and got the firewood up off the patio. I also bought the cover which protects the wood from getting wet and also gives a nice appearance. June 5, 2014
So far, so good We just put this up, so I don't know if the quality and durability are as good as it looks to be. Only reason it's not "excellent" all the way across, too soon to tell how it will hold up. May 7, 2014

Is there any way to prevent religious debates from turning into a big fight?
People discuss lots of things, politics, sports, anything
But when they discuss religious opinions, most of the time, they get all angry and try to win even with fight.
why is that? why that can't be a normal subject?
and more important, How can we prevent this?
Closing Statement from Farokh Shahabi Nezhad
Tnx everyone for their replies. I enjoyed learning from different aspect for this problem.
I can only conclude this : Don't argue with someone unless they are open minded and ready to be changed and challenged.

Ross GFeb 14 2013: Speak only the truth, which has been revealed to you, and don't allow yourself to be provoked.
It is admirable to protect the feelings of the individuals you are in deep conversation with. Truth can wound or it can heal. When you use the truth to deliberately harm, the truth may be removed from your heart. And if you use the truth to heal and edify, you may be entrusted with more.
Consider Jesus Christ, the Messiah to both Islam and Christendom. Even He and his disciples found themselves in situations where the people became very "passionate". Even with their amazing skill in speech, their delicacy, love, patience, and the miracles; the people still crucified, imprisoned, stoned, beheaded, clubbed, and lanced them.
It would seem that persecution for our beliefs is part of the territory. First you need to know the truth, then you need the courage to speak it.
Feb 17 2013: Ross,
Your faith is admirable.
But don't allow yourself to become subject to persecution for holding a personal belief.
If you find yourself living under the thumb of a monster, move your feet.
Courage means to be afraid to do something but to go ahead and do it.
But, Courage does not mean for anyone to be stupid in doing so.
I apologize, this remark is not directed towards you.

After experiencing two, close, broad-daylight UFO sightings, Darryl Anka began to research the subject as well as becoming familiar with an array of metaphysical topics, including channeling.
His path led him to become a channel for an extraterrestrial entity called Bashar, which is an Arabic word that means "messenger." Darryl has channeled Bashar's information internationally for the past 29 years, providing powerful methods by which people can change their lives in positive ways.
Bashar's information has been published in over 20 books in the U.S. and Japan and hundreds of CDs and DVDs have been distributed worldwide by April Rochelle of Bashar Communications.
In addition to his channeling career, Darryl also has over 30 years of experience in miniature effects, storyboards, sets and designs on three Star Trek films, Iron Man, The Aviator, Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End, I Robot, Live Free or Die Hard and Flags of our Fathers among several others.
Over the past 5 years, Darryl has shifted his career to writing, directing and producing and has had one feature film produced by Nu Image Entertainment, two scripts optioned by AMI Productions and the Mutual Film Company and recently shot his first film as writer-director-producer called "Dearly Departed" - a fictional documentary shot as if the crew took a camera into the afterlife and interviewed the spirits of people who've passed on to get their insights on life after death.
"Dearly Departed" is now completed and has been entered into several film festivals. Darryl is developing a number of other feature film projects along with his wife and co-producer, Erica Jordan, at their Los Angeles production company, Zia Films.

Exhibit Spaces
The redesign contains two spaces for library exhibits; a central area will feature changing exhibits, and a permanent, museum-quality gallery will showcase Library treasures.
In the permanent exhibit gallery, selections from among the UCLA Library's unique manuscripts, rare books, artwork, and other items valuable for both their historical significance and their importance to research will be on long-term display. The cases will be climate controlled, which will allow rarely exhibited items to be shown for extended periods.
The changing exhibits space will be in the high-traffic area immediately inside the front doors to the building. Surrounded by translucent panels in a circular configuration, the cases in this space will present Library materials in thematic exhibits on a variety of topics. The space will also have several video monitors, which can be used to show video components or multiple pages from items in the cases.

Menino backs Boston fire chief despite criticism
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino stood behind the city's fire chief Wednesday, despite criticism from 13 deputy chiefs over how Steve Abraira responded to the Boston Marathon bombings.
"I'm the mayor of Boston and he has a future as long as I am here," Menino, who is in the final year of a two-decade run as mayor, told reporters.The letter to Menino, dated April 26 and signed by all but one of the department's 14 deputy chiefs, said Abraira failed to assume command when he reached the scene of the bombing at the race's finish line, where twin pressure-cooker bombs had exploded in a crowd of thousands of spectators and athletes.
Three people were killed and 264 others injured in the April 15 explosions.
Abraira told the Boston Globe that he followed "nationally accepted practice" in allowing his deputies to continue to direct the response.
On Wednesday, Menino said he believed Abraira acted appropriately.
"I think we came out of this marathon professionally; I think everybody did a good job, and to have a letter like that surface a month later, I wonder," Menino said. "If it was an issue at the time, why wasn't it brought to our attention immediately?"
A deputy who signed the letter but who didn't want his name published told the Globe the deputies waited to send the letter out of respect for the bombing victims.
Menino said he planned to meet with the city's fire commissioner, Roderick Fraser, to ensure that Abraira's response met national standards and followed fire department protocol.
Abraira, who had previously served in Dallas and Miami, was named Boston fire chief in 2011, the first time an outsider was picked for that job.
Menino said it was normal to have tension within the department.
"The fire chief is relatively new on the job; he does come from another fire department, he's an outsider and on a regular basis, when an outsider comes to the fire department you have issues," Menino said. "There is always that little tension."

Orchard Park, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons in Toronto.
Williams, who has battled a lingering Achilles' tendon injury this season, was unable to practice Friday due to a flare up with his lower back.
"It was fun this morning. I think I woke everybody up," Williams said on the team's website. "I guess I slept on it wrong and when I stepped to get out of bed it cinched up on me."
Williams has 48 tackles and seven sacks in 11 games this season.

Whether you've never flown before and just want to give gliding a try, or want to get your gliding qualification, or are already a seasoned pilot, NUGC is a fantastic club to fly with - arguably one of the best in the country. NUGC benefits from flying at one of the cheapest clubs in Britain - less than a fiver a flight! Fly regularly with us and you can expect to be a solo pilot by the time summer rolls around.
So what does membership include? Access to the NUGC and Cranwell gliders, and all the necessary kit to go with them, as well as your insurance for the year. We also offer free soaring in both of the university gliders, whereas most clubs will charge per minute of flight time. As is gliding custom, we charge absolutely nothing for instruction.
When not flying, we enjoy a packed social calendar - starting in October with a visit to the Goose Fair, Beer Festival, Alton Towers and of course weekly visits to the pub. It's a great way to get to know your fellow pilots off the airfield. We're a friendly & welcoming bunch, always keen to meet new people and help you progress to going solo and beyond.
I look forward to meeting you all throughout the year, be it at a social or the airfield - happy thermalling!

text: Police say two men, a father and son, from Terrebonne Parish have been sexually abusing a disabled girl since she was eight years old. "TPSO received information from Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office detectives that a 14 year old female reported that she had been repeatedly sexually abused by her step-father in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes," Captain Dawn Foret said in a news release. "The victim reported that she was forced into sexual intercourse with her step-father on multiple occasions over a six year period." She says they found evidence to arrest the "mentally challenged" child's step-father. "The investigation led to the arrest of Russell Leblanc Jr. 29 of 107 Prosperity Street in Chauvin," according to Foret. The molestation allegedly happened in both Lafourche and Terrebonne Parishes, so he is charged in each of the jurisdictions. "Russell Leblanc Jr.'s father, Russell Leblanc Sr., 65, was also arrested by TPSO detectives for a warrant from LPSO for aggravated incest pertaining to the same victim," Foret said.

An area organization is revamping its programs to prepare adults for new a career. Its members are hoping to get people geared up for the General Educational Development (GED), and for life after the test in the work force.
The Thomas Jefferson Adult and Career Education Centers serve people all throughout the region, preparing them for the GED, and offering English as a Second Language classes.
TJ ACE is now unveiling a new "career pathways" focus, to go beyond classroom prep and start getting students ready for the real world.
In addition to GED prep, TJ ACE is now offering educational programs to help students achieve the Career Readiness Certificate, or CRC, which is a post-secondary credential issued through the Piedmont Virginia Community College.
Administrators say the CRC will give students an edge in the career field.
TJ ACE is also integrating instruction in career awareness, local employment options, finding and keeping a job, soft skills, and transitioning from college into the GED classes. Class instruction is changing, so students have to work in teams and think creatively, as opposed to just learning to take the test.
"We are re-aligning everything that we do to not only build these academic skills, but to also teach these other skills as well, so that when our students are finished with our programs they are ready to go get a good job," said Carol Coffey, a regional specialist and GED examiner for the Charlottesville-based Adult Learning Center.
In January 2014 the GED will be more rigorous, so administrators are urging people to take the test now before it becomes harder. The GED prep classes are adjusting to include lessons on the harder exam, as well as this new career focused learning.
GED test prep classes are taught all throughout the region at different times and locations. Financial assistance is available. Click here for more information about how to sign up.

France is going after one of the key obstacles to getting electric cars on the road: the need for a charging infrastructure. The country is changing all that by spending $2.2 billion to eatingdisorderrecovery.com build a network of charging stations.
Taxpayer money will go to fund the project that will install the initial nation-wide network, but beyond that, the country is putting the burden on building owners.
The government is making the installation of charging stations mandatory in office parking lots by 2015 and any new apartment buildings with parking lots must host charging stations by 2012. That's a quick turnaround! But according to France's Environment Minister, a group of viagra generic usa fleet operators have indicated they'll be purchasing around 100,000 EVs by 2015, so the cheap cialis without rx network will be in place just in time.
This project also involves contributing to the creation of a battery manufacturing factory at a Renault facility in Flins.

In celebration of Jarvis Jones deciding that playing linebacker under Todd Grantham is the best way to prepare for an NFL career, here are five more reasons it's great … to be … a Georgia Bulldog, presented in no particular order …
You get to go to school in Athens. I mean, really, is there any better college town than the Classic City? As Southern Living recently noted, there's a vibrancy there that many other college towns can't match. Great places to eat or drink beer. A beautiful campus. The best-looking women in the SEC. An internationally renowned music scene. Plus UGA sports. What's not to love?
One of the most impassioned fan bases in college sports. As Mark Richt put it in an interview with Dawg Post, "There is so much passion and love for Georgia. Some of the folks have never stepped foot on campus and love it — that is their team; they want them to do well."
You get to wear red. Not orange. Not yellow. Not blue like half the schools in the country. And not some off shade like Alabama or Arkansas wear, but rich, bright Georgia Bulldog red! Gotta love it.
The best-looking helmets in college football. And here's a plus: As a UGA player in the future, chances are you won't have to don the ill-fated black helmets trotted out for the Florida game last year and widely panned by the Bulldog Nation. They're selling them off as collector's items.
Saturdays at Sanford Stadium, the crown jewel of college football stadiums, with Uga, the best mascot in America.
That's just scratching the surface, of course. Why else is it great to be a Georgia Bulldog?
June 16th, 2010
11:52 am
"It's great to be a Georgia Bulldog" simply says it all.
June 16th, 2010
12:03 pm
Bill… you forgot the most important thing…..We also get to bark at the other team!
June 16th, 2010
12:10 pm
Unlike Tech, we don't play in a Jr. High stadium in the middle of the ghetto, with absolutely no chance to talk to members of the opposite sex after the game. Gotta love UGA!
June 16th, 2010
12:11 pm
Good news. I didn't realize that Jarvis decided on Georgia. I guess I was having too much fun in Athens.
June 16th, 2010
12:15 pm
Blood is red.
June 16th, 2010
12:18 pm
"You get to go to school in Athens" – assuming that you actually go to class
"One of the most impassioned fan bases in college sports" – Obsessed with 1980
"You get to wear red" – Makes you easy to spot at the Gator Bowl
"The best-looking helmets in college football" – Depending on which game it is.
"Saturdays at Sanford Stadium" – Just watch out when KY comes to town
"Why else is it great to be a Georgia Bulldog?" – You get your bail paid for, more chances than a cat before you get kicked off the team, free tanning salon sessions, free swimming lessons, your own minister instead of a coach, a chance to advance to Dancing With The Stars.
June 16th, 2010
12:23 pm
I forget where we're ranked but I'm sure it's in the top five for placing NFL players for the last eight years or so. He's going to thrive in Grantham's 3-4. This was a GREAT get. He's a monster and his presence will allow others like Houston to be even more productive.
June 16th, 2010
12:28 pm
My bad. I didn't realize he was redshirting this year. I just heard it on the radio and behaved like a 13 year old boy. He's still a great get for the purported 'dream' recruiting team of 2011 which is a little silly really.
June 16th, 2010
12:30 pm
Because, whether you're a fan or not, there is a ton of interest in this program. With new coaches and a solid recruiting class so far, there is a lot to be optimistic about. 2010 may not be the breakout season everyone is hoping for, but the future certainly looks bright for these Bulldogs.
June 16th, 2010
12:35 pm
Every negative slander you come on here and crap out of your mouth makes the decision for the next recruit teetering between the Dawgs and your school that much easier!!!
80 days til:
1. 92K FANS fill up the stadium on Athens
2. 25K "fans" spread out through the "stadium" in Atlanta
3. 20K "fans" skip the game in Atlanta to go to a sports bar to hate on UGA
We. Run. This. State.
June 16th, 2010
12:45 pm
The only thing that would make it better would be a healthy Larry Munson coming through the ear phones.
June 16th, 2010
12:54 pm
They forgot another reason…..U have the best hated rival in college football!!!! The Florida Gaytors!!
June 16th, 2010
12:58 pm
SSIgator classy as we have come to except from a Gator…Jarvis welcome to the Bull Dog Nation let the dancing begin!
June 16th, 2010
12:59 pm
1eyedJack I agree about Larry the Nation misses him.
June 16th, 2010
1:06 pm
I think the only people who would want to buy those helmets would be Florida fans. Or maybe even Tech fans.
June 16th, 2010
1:07 pm
Maybe one of the most stupid and embarrassing things ever allowed online. I'd laugh if it didn't cause me to vomit.
June 16th, 2010
1:12 pm
SSIgator is just upset cause Tebow is gone and UF will have to come back down to earth. I agree with CSA, 2010 should be a good season but maybe not the breakout season, but a freshman qb and new def are two things to look at, but 2011 should be outstanding, when the def players completely know the scheme and Murray has a year under his belt and gets to compete with Lemay and throw to Justin Scott-Wesley, cant wait to see that 10.35 speed showcased in Athens. it is great to be a Ga Bulldawg!!
June 16th, 2010
1:14 pm
That's a good get for the Dawgs. This kid is good. Time will tell if it all works out.
June 16th, 2010
1:15 pm
Tough picture to look at. Either way, hope the kid gets it right this time. Good get, Dawgs.
June 16th, 2010
1:21 pm
I tried to tell all of you guys yesterday that we would sign Jomes today or tomorrow. However UGA insiders did not tell me about the possible redshirt. CMR could be reading out of the Obama playbook and not telling us everything. I do trust CMR a million more times than our president but I think Jones will play and play well THIS season. We just don't want everyone else in the SEC to know how loaded we are this year.
June 16th, 2010
1:24 pm
Hey TigerTime are you a Clem or Plainsman Tiger? In any how did your team fare against UGA the last 4 or 5 meetings?
June 16th, 2010
1:36 pm
UGA has the best fans and best traditions in college football. Its time we get back to playing like #1 and stop making so many penalties and turnovers.
June 16th, 2010
1:38 pm
It's great to be a Georgia bulldog because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights in Athens are better than a weekend night anywhere else. A Friday night in Athens is unreal. And Saturdays between the hedges are Gods gift to man!
June 16th, 2010
1:40 pm
And you get to sign on the AJC blogs and read the inane drivel posted by the fans of all the rival schools who are obsessed with all things UGA.
June 16th, 2010
1:55 pm
So we just accepted a kid with open arms after he pledges 4 years of his life to Lane Kiffin? Great player or not, I question any athlete that would think the Kiffin culture is an acceptable one. He actively decided he wanted to go across the country to play for that turkey.
Hopefully I'm wrong.
June 16th, 2010
2:01 pm
No matter who you are, WE are your biggest rival. We're the game you circle. You know it. We know it.
June 16th, 2010
2:02 pm
@Charlotte Dawg
He committed to Pete Carroll, not Kiffin
June 16th, 2010
2:03 pm
How sick is it that we could possibly have two linebackers redshirt one year (Jarvis and Samuel) and make all SEC the next? The future is always bright in Athens too!
June 16th, 2010
2:31 pm
Great to be Dawg because they are the Dawgs. Man, I can't wait till the season starts. I only wish that I could get the games here in Baghdad. It will make the winter go by faster just following them on the net. Can't wait to see the speed on defence, Houston and Washington should flurish of the ends. God bless you all, even our haters.
June 16th, 2010
2:44 pm
Ga Dawg in Iraq, Just wanted to say thanks for what you and your comrads are doing. Sometimes freedom is taken for granted. I'll never forget the GI hanging tha UGA flag at beginning of Iraq war. Take care, and Go Dawgs!
June 16th, 2010
2:50 pm
Reason # 6: Never seen a bumper sticker that said "Bulldogs Eat Boogers".
June 16th, 2010
2:52 pm
The best thing about being a Bulldawg is the fan following and the great team traditions. You simply can't beat Sanford Stadium for game experience.
As for Tech, it has some good traditions and its academics are pretty strong. Too bad Paul Johnson messed up a classic uniform. His choice looks like something out of Class A high school football. He stuck with Erk's design at Georgia Southern and then he went and made a bad choice.
Bobby Dodd is rolling in his grave over that one!
June 16th, 2010
2:53 pm
Thanks for all you do DAWG IN IRAQ.
We are what we are as a country because of people like you.
June 16th, 2010
2:53 pm
Haters getting nervous…..Gators saw that 2007 team dismantle them and Tebow cried ( I like the word weep) on the sidelines….They are scared we will get back to that 2007 type team and they ( Gators) have some serious questions themselves…….
June 16th, 2010
2:58 pm
A UGA EDUCATION!!! Thanks GA Dawg in Iraq!
June 16th, 2010
3:01 pm
Good luck to Jarvis in Athens. I hope his health concerns are a thing of the past. Just imagine what a beast he will be after spending the year working out, getting healthy and learning the system. Good luck every Saturday except for the last one in November. GO JACKETS!
June 16th, 2010
3:07 pm
Well I could be wrong but I thought Jarvis committed to USC and Kiffin after Kiffin bolted for LA.
I guess if he be-heads Duh' Rick, all will be foregiven.
June 16th, 2010
3:09 pm
BTW…from a proud Tech alumnus…Athens really is a fantastic college town. Having grown up in Georgia obviously a lot of my friends from high school went to UGA and I always enjoyed visiting….and for most of the reasons described in Bill's article.
But when it comes to college allegiance…I just happen to love my Jackets as much as most of you love your Dawgs.
June 16th, 2010
3:17 pm
Pure class Burdell. Appreciated from Dawg Nation.
June 16th, 2010
3:17 pm
Looks like momemtum is gaining for UGA.Quote from JJ said one of the reasons he chose UGA is the vibe with the new DC. All prospects out there also understand on Defense their is a new sheriff in town and it is CTG. Wish is did not take this many years to change DC's but now it looks like the tide has turned. If the recruiting class keeps on look out for UGA in 2011 and beyond. For all the idiots who say the CMR has under coached over the last 9 years look at the record. Top five national in winning percentage, three SEC championship games and three BCS games. Road winning percentage, bowl winning percentage outstanding , on and on… Last year was horrible but every team has these every once and a while. Go Dawgs!!!
June 16th, 2010
3:23 pm
It just is. You gotta be one to know. And around here, we're all Dawgs!
June 16th, 2010
3:41 pm
NO BLACK HELMETS. EVER. AGAIN. If CMR is stupid enough to pull that stunt again, he should be fired on the spot.
June 16th, 2010
3:51 pm
I wish Munson was still calling the games. I can imagine his enthusiasm watching CTG's warriors out there kicking butt. Thanks Burdell for showing class when so many of your Yellow Jacket lovers have known. Can't wait for the season to start. GATA!
June 16th, 2010
3:55 pm
@Charlotte Dawg, kiffin was still in the nfl when he committed to usc.
obviously, as it says juniors and seniors can transfer without sitting out.
June 16th, 2010
4:06 pm
"I think the only people who would want to buy those helmets would be Florida fans. Or maybe even Tech fans."
If TV was still black and white, Green Bay could use 'em. It's their logo. I still like the plain silver helmets better. Same for the pants. Not gray, silver.
June 16th, 2010
4:08 pm
Silver helmets? Delbert, you're showing your age.
June 16th, 2010
4:12 pm
DawginLex –
"And you get to sign on the AJC blogs and read the inane drivel posted by the fans of all the rival schools who are obsessed with all things UGA."
That's why the blogs about expansion were such a nice change. I wish they'd dragged that out some more. Beebe screwed up the rest of my summer plans.
June 16th, 2010
4:16 pm
1eyedJack – I know. I grew up near Athens, and we used to go there for the McDonalds on Friday and Saturday nights, after the Varsity got to be boring. "Over 1,000,000 Sold."
June 16th, 2010
4:25 pm
"Over 1,000,000 Sold."
You're about 2,000,000 sold older than me.
You got to think of that in exponential form. Double the population since then.
June 16th, 2010
4:28 pm
Bill, Jarvis will mend real quickly after getting back home
on a diet of turnip greens, okra and fresh tomatoes. It
was either the artichokes he was eating out there, or
Lane Kiffin that caused the pain in his neck.

CROWN POINT | Lake County Council members on Tuesday removed Cynthia Watts as their appointee to the Gary library board by a 4-3 vote.
Ben Coleman, a former Gary library board president, said after the vote that he was pleased with the result. He said he now intends to pressure Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson to remove library board member Rayfield Fisher, and the Gary Community School Corp. board to recall appointees Tony Walker and Jonathan Boose.
"We have met some political resistance, but we will persevere," Coleman said.
Coleman organized an effort to purge Gary library board members who voted last year to close Gary's main library at 220 W. Fifth Ave. and reopen it later this summer as a cultural center. Opponents argue the downtown building was a symbol of literacy and a museum was an ill-conceived waste of public money.
County Councilman Jerome Prince, D-Gary, who defended Watts, said Tuesday that closing the main library was an unpopular but necessary move in the face of shrunken tax revenues. Four neighborhood branch locations were left open.
County Councilwoman Elsie Franklin, D-Gary, led the vote to remove Watts. Franklin said Watts didn't represent the wishes of Gary residents or the County Council.
Library Director Otis Alexander said Tuesday after the Watts vote that the future of the library system leaves him confused.
"This has been a horrific experience," he said.
Alexander said he has no realistic budget or action plan for the proposed museum, which he fears would be too heavy a burden for city taxpayers.

A History Of Helping"Good health is not an unobtainable privilege meant to be savored only by the fortunate. Rather, it is a right that should be enjoyed by anyone who is willing to take the time to learn how to take care of his or her own body." - Dr. DicQie Fuller-Looney
From the very beginning of its history, Transformation Enzyme Corporation (TEC) has been dedicated to the idea that everyone is entitled to the most healthy and vital lifestyle that they are capable of obtaining.
Transformation was established by DicQie Fuller, D.Sc., Ph.D., ND, when she formulated her own line of enzyme-based dietary supplements in May 1991. She chose the name "Transformation" for her high quality enzyme formulations.
Ken Looney joined the company in late 1994 as Chairman and CEO after meeting Dr. Fuller and working with her at several educational workshops and seminars. She had relocated the company from Colorado to the Scottsdale suburb of Phoenix and, although it was doing well, its growth potential seemed limited. The time was ripe for taking Transformation to the next level. In 1995, Ken and DicQie moved the company to Houston, where they assembled a staff of professionals and began to train and develop a small group of distributors.
Initially, this eclectic group only shared a belief in the products and a desire to help people. However, as business shaped and nurtured those intentions, more distributors and markets were explored. Transformation began to grow by leaps and bounds. The company remains privately held and has grown rapidly with annual sales escalating from a few hundred thousand dollars to multiple millions. Current trends and realistic projections show this growth curve to be still in its infancy.
Today they sell to health professionals, clinics and pharmacies worldwide. What was once a basic product line has increased to include many different formulations, many of which are available for private label. Supported by an Advisory Board that is the envy of the industry, their nutritional research and development team continues to develop and test new product concepts to further meet the needs of health professionals.
Founder and principal formulator Dr. DicQie Fuller-Looney has over thirty years of clinical enzyme therapy experience and continues her research developing the very best possible product. "Dr. DicQie" has formulated products for companies such as NESS, Enzymedica, Enzyme Essentials, Enzymes Inc. and Earth Pharmacy. She also maintains her role as an educator, giving lectures at numerous universities and conducting seminars across the country.
Dr. Fuller-Looney joined with board member Richard Couey, Ph.D., of Baylor University to write Living Longer: Questions You Never Knew to Ask & Answers You Can't Live Without, now in its second edition. Dr. Fuller-Looney's The Healing Power of Enzymes remains the benchmark introduction to enzyme therapy for health professionals and the general audience alike, and her latest book, The M Club: Survive Menopause and Feel Great Again with the Healing Power of Enzymes, co-written with Wendy Everett Cooke, builds on her wealth of research and personal experience.
Transformation's commitment to nutrition, health education and the miracle of enzymes remains as strong as ever.
