An Eco-Friendly Covered Sandbox
My Great Outdoors
Family: Carla, Jason, & Jude (17 months)
Location: Sonoma County, CA
We have a fairly large backyard that we are slowly transforming into a family-friendly, food-producing, wonder-garden...
Recently, my husband designed and built a covered sandbox for our son. The lid is designed to transform into a deck when the box is opened. This eco-friendly sandbox was created from salvaged wood, sealed with a low-voc sealant, and filled with natural beach sand. Best of all: it provides hours of entertainment for the whole family!
Super smart design! Thanks Carla! Readers, see and read more about this project at Small Friendly.

I am loving all of these summery outdoor and backyard posts but they're also making me a little sad because we live in the south and temps are already reaching 100 degrees midday and our backyard is quite wooded and gets very buggy and mosquito-y in the summertime!
I'd love to enjoy my backyard with my toddler but how am stumped as to how to do it without harmful chemicals, bug sprays, foggers, etc. Any ideas?
@Mhartman, for mosquitoes you need to remove breeding sites as best possible. Anywhere where standing water can collect is suspect. That will definintely cut down on the number of mosquitoes but won't totally eliminate them. Protecting yourself and family with a proven mosquito repellent should also be done. Don't bother with the home remedies found online. Research shows that most have little to no effect. See the CDC website on repellents for more info.
Love this! I have to laugh a little at that last picture. Cats and sandboxes do not mix. I'm definitely clicking through to see the rest of this backyard conversion. I LOVE when people create functional spaces like that.
@Mhartman, we deal with the same issues (we're also living in the South). On top of that I'm allergic to DEET, so no hardcore bug sprays for us either. We use the Badger Bug Balm and All Terrain Kids Herbal Armor. Eliminate standing water and also use the "mosquito dunks" in things like birdbaths, etc. Keeping the lawn mowed and keeping areas that tend to get overgrown at bay helps. Installing bird houses and bat houses can help, as they feast on the insects in the evening. Unfortunately you can't control what happens in your neighbor's yard, which could be a major source of neighborhood mosquitos.
As for the heat, we play in sprinklers or water tubs/kiddie pools to keep cool. Frozen bananas and grapes, as well as popsicles help!
I'm not sure if Pyrethin sprays are available to you guys over there but it's a natural product that I'm sure was developed here in New Zealand but has since been bought out by Raid and copied by Mortein. The advantage of these big companies now being involved is there are also outdoor versions available too. Check out http://www.raidautomatic.co.nz/
to see if you recognise it.
Also, perhaps a big mosquito netted gazebo (portable) would be a handy thing to place over a sandpit to keep out mosquitoes and neighbourhood cats.

Huh, you're right. I had the bleed buff boxed ticked off. With the buff, its +331.3dps to encorperate Rupture. Without the buff, its a 71.5 dps loss.
I would still recommend using Rupture in your 5 mans and raids by default though. A 71 dps loss is not that big of a deal in a 5 man, and you'll virtually always have the bufff in a raid. You need to be able to work it in without thinking about it when the bleed buff is present, and that means you need to practice it.
Adding Rupture for combat IS a DPS gain in simulators. But in practice, it is only worth on bosses with a bleed damage debuff. And even with that, the dps gain is not THAT much.
I never use rupture and still can easily top the charts. It also leaves me with more room to do interrupts and more useful stuff.

Have you ever purposefully avoided the bad part of town? Well then you might be a racist. Or something. That's the sentiment behind critics of a new app called Good Part of Town, which helps people identify safe areas of unfamiliar cities.
Originally titled Ghetto Tracker (they changed the name due to public backlash), the app allows locals to rate the safety of various neighborhoods so that visitors will know which places to avoid. Critics claim that the app is racist and classist for helping the rich avoid the poor.
Oh my gosh, people need to lighten up. Ghetto Tracker was a much catchier name for an app that might be really useful for staying safe. Now, if the app used racial demographics to tell you which areas to avoid, then yes, that would be racist, wrong, unfair, and basically disgusting.
The fact of the matter is that there are 'bad' areas in every town, and they are not limited to any one race. It turns out that bad guys come in all skin colors! Who knew? Until we have enough cops to prosecute every criminal, eradicate every gang, confiscate every illegal firearm, etc, then I'm going to avoid the bad parts of town.
More from The Stir: 6 Must-Have Apps to Keep Your Kids Safe
Detractor David Holmes wrote:
It's pretty detrimental to society when we reinforce the idea that poor or crime-heavy areas are places to be categorically avoided or shamed … As if to assume that every person who lives in an area with comparatively high crime or poverty is a criminal, or that these areas are devoid of culture or positivity.
How exactly is it detrimental to society to avoid crime-heavy areas, or even refer to them as crime-heavy? If it's an area with a lot of crime, then it's an area with a lot of crime. That doesn't mean everyone that lives there is bad, or that it's devoid of all culture or positivity, it just means more bad things happen there than in other neighborhoods.
Avoiding shady areas doesn't make you a racist, an elitist, or a bad person -- it makes you smart.
Would you use this app?

I don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as it's based on actual crime rates. The original name was pretty offensive, but in its current iteration, I see no problem with this.
Is there a full moon? I agree with Jenny! :O
Seriously?! I live in "the ghetto"... and not by choice either! I'm a hard-working single parent and can not afford to live in the nice part of town. It's bad enough that I've already had to deal with the disappointment of my children's friends' parents not allowing their children over for birthday parties or sleepovers. This is inconsiderate!
I used to live in the ghetto part of our town. Merely because I couldn't afford to live anywhere else. so Mommaleach, I sympothize with you. I never felt safe, and was always afraid. I chose to abandon my home and figure something else out for the saftey of my kids. My neighbors were white,black, and asian. So I can't say one race over another there was a pot of us in that part of town. So Racism no, but concerns for saftey, yes! sympothize with those who are living there for no other reason other than money- def

We are supposed to give up tens of thousands of achers for a few thousand jobs..

The oil will be exported because we don't have the refinery's to process it's high sulfur content..

Don't even get me started on the environmental impact not to mention how many Americans will get screwed out of their land...
I guess it depends on how he thinks people will vote because of it.

"Whether you like Labour or not, changing leadership to David Cunliffe and the left-leaning policies will at least ensure that there is a true leading opposition party in NZ."Featured comment
Pictured right: David Cunliffe at the time of the November party conference.
The wreckers of Labour's November conference are again destabilising David Shearer's leadership. They are likely to keep doing so all the way to the election.
Ahead of the conference, Mr Shearer was subject to an either controlled or spontaneous avalanche of criticism from across the left establishment, including Labour-connected press galley journalists, the Herald's Tapu Misa, Helen Clark's hagiographer Brian Edwards, the left's poet laureate Chris Trotter and the anonymous and semi-anonymous writers and commentators at The Standard.
As might be expected from New Zealand's most-read and most influential left-wing blog, The Standard is a more collective effort than its right-wing rivals.
Its writers and commentators also tend to be overwhelmingly to the left of both the current opposition and Ms Clark's government.
The so-called neoliberal consensus of the last 30 years is attacked and there is passionate debate on topics such as nationalisation of essential services, reorientating housing toward collective ownership, regulating or even abolishing interest and profit, establishing Labour as a true worker's party and massively redistributing wealth from the 1% to everyone else.
Despite the radicalism of such ideas, which are closer to the Greens or Mana, most writers claim to be only slightly left-of-centre Labour party members. Some of the commentators have indeed been confirmed as Labour office holders.
One, for example, is Greg Presland, spokesman for the New Lynn electorate committee of Mr Shearer's rival, David Cunliffe, and there is near unanimity that Mr Cunliffe is not only more politically talented than Mr Shearer but that he broadly supports the left-wing policy prescriptions that are usually advocated.
Herein lies Labour's problem.
Extreme language
For some time, blogs have ceased to merely report grass-roots political activity: they are now where much grass-roots political activity actually occurs, with hundreds of different perspectives being put forward on various topics.
A generation ago, political reporters hung around dire regional conferences to get a sense of what the grassroots were feeling.
With little happening at today's stage-managed conferences, it makes sense that they now observe the postings and comments on blogs such as Whaleoil, Kiwiblog and The Standard to get a sense of grass-roots opinion (noting, as always, that conference delegates and blog writers tend to be further to the extremes of the parties to which they purport allegiance).
Even with that proviso, the extreme language at The Standard about Mr Shearer is unprecedented, and it is again being ramped up.
A nickname for Mr Shearer has emerged: Captain Mumblefuck. His intelligence and admittedly poor diction are derided.
We are told he is a bully and coward for demoting Mr Cunliffe, and a puppet of Trevor Mallard and Annette King. He is accused of appeasing the middle class, his 100,000-house KiwiBuild policy is criticised as a veneer for public private partnerships and he is widely suspected of having a secret neoliberal agenda.
Elsewhere, based on research by Mr Trotter, some even hint he may be some sort of agent for foreign intelligence services.
Since the November conference, writers at The Standard have demanded that despite Mr Shearer having the overwhelming support of caucus – and well above the 60% threshold required for him to automatically keep his job – he should put his leadership to a vote of party members and union affiliates this February.
To pressure him, a false rumour was spread in recent days that Mr Shearer planned to announce this weekend a membership and union vote. The motivation is because most Standardistas are confident he would lose.
In anticipation, people are being encouraged to join the party for the very purpose of voting against its leader and for the candidate, Mr Cunliffe, bizarrely seen as far left.
Internal fanaticism
This sort of internal fanaticism has been seen before, including when Don Brash's supporters were undermining Bill English and when Paul Keating took out Bob Hawke. The strategy can work because, as Mr Hawke observed, it has a terrifying logic.
If a challenger's faction, even a minority, is utterly determined to make life impossible for the incumbent, then eventually the leadership or even prime ministership ceases to be worth holding.
Labour's new rules make the strategy even more likely to succeed and have created a risk of chronic instability. With members and unions now having the power to choose the leader, whichever faction happens to be in the minority will spend its time not taking the fight to the dreaded Tories, but signing up new members and manipulating union personnel.
The new rules put Labour at constant risk of old-fashioned Leninist entrism. Already, party bosses report infiltration by former members of the Alliance who have no interest in being part of a modern social democratic party but want to recreate Labour as a replica of their old far-left ideal.
Mr Shearer has a big speech this weekend. He would be well advised to throw some red meat to his far left to settle them down a bit. But the subversion by Mr Cunliffe's supporters will continue all year. There is another meltdown ahead.

Mayhem #353913
Zirconia Starfighter is a Greek alternative fetish model & performer.
My modeling experience started when I realized I am into fetish and cyber subcultures. My love for latex, vinyl, PVC, metal-wear and all those wonderful materials which are considered as "extreme"/"weird" attracted me from my childhood. Nowadays, I am very deeply in this kind of modeling scene and dare to say that I paved the way for other girls, in such a restricted country as Greece to 'Dare to Wear'.
At my second, part-time, job I am a go-go dancer, pole dancer, performance artist, angle-grinder performer and show-girl. I love to dance as music is my source of life. My cooperations with a variety of different and interesting artists inside and outside of my country offered me versatility in most possible domains of modeling, styling, acting and performing. I am an airport lover and I accept booking requests and works outside of Greece too. More about my biography on Altopedia and here.
I have a Bachelor and Master degree in graphic design and I regularly work as a Graphic Designer. I speak in english, french and italian. Some other activities of mine are mini-sculpture and ready-mades which are based on my imagination. Sometimes my creations are influenced by books, science fiction and mythology and they influence me in my own styling as well. In fact I can do my styling on my own but, of course, I am open to suggestions of other experienced professionals. Besides, as a "chameleon" I love to give presence to any interesting project and photo-shooting.

moreDuring the past several years, research teams around the world have developed astrophysics-relevant utilizing high energy-density facilities such as intense lasers and z-pinches. Research is underway in many areas, such as compressible hydrodynamic mixing, strong shock phenomena, radiation flow, radiative shocks and jets, complex opacities, equations of stat, and relativistic plasmas. Beyond this current research and the papers it is producing, plans are being made for the application, to astrophysics-relevant research, of the 2 MJ National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; the 600 kj Ligne d'Integration Laser (LIL) and the 2 MJ Laser Megajoule (LMJ) in Bordeaux, France; petawatt-range lasers now under construction around the world; and current and future Z pinches. The goal of this conference and these proceedings is to continue focusing attention on this emerging research area.The conference brought together different scientists interested in this emerging new field, with topics covering: hydrodynamic instabilities in astrophysics, supernovae and supernova remnant evolution, astrophysical shocks, blast waves, and jets, stellar opacities, radiation and thermal transport, dense plasma atomic physics and EOS, X-ray photoionized plasmas, and ultrastrong magnetic field generation. less

The year was 2007. It was the first year I felt positive about Mothers Day. It was also my first as a fully-fledged baby-on-the-hip mother.
On my way to the movies by myself that night – my first night off since becoming a mother again, a treat from my husband to me – I was consciously aware of how calm, relaxed and fulfilled I felt. I was actually proud of myself for feeling these things. For allowing myself to feel these things, without any added tinges of guilt, regret, longing. It felt good. It felt okay to feel good too. That was in no small part Lolly's doing. She brought that sense of value and belonging back to me.
It was different to many, many Mother's Days of years past. Before 2007, when we first celebrated Mothers Day with our sweet Lolly in our lives, I don't really remember a Mother's Day where I haven't felt awkward or belittled or just sensitive in one way or another. Becoming a mother and having your baby die might cause that. Hmm. But it was only partly the cause for my dread of the celebratory day. Becoming a mother and then losing my first child certainly helped me take a detached look at my relationship with my own mother. And it's a whole other layer of self-healing, that one.
The last Mother's Day I spent with my Mum was in 1998. We had invited her up to Melbourne to have a combined day with us, Steve's parents and another couple within the family and their mother/inlaw. It was an extended family Mother's Day celebration. It was the Mother's Day that I was engaged to Steve. The impressions I made on his parents were still important to me. We met at their home, first ones there. I gave my mother her gift while we waited for the others to arrive before we took them out to lunch. My mother had pre-emptively requested a clock radio from her kids; she always was one to state what she wanted. A couple of my siblings had taken care of the clock radio gift, so I had bought her a very lovely set of coffee mugs. She was still using chipped, dark and stained – frankly, scary – mugs from 1960-something (nothing wrong with that, of course, but I wanted to give her something special, thinking it'd be nice for her instead of having to drink around the missing chunks in the rims of her mugs all these years).
My mother did not realise her precious clock radio was still coming. She opened my present to her, snarled and then in typical form, whined, "I didn't ask for these. What am I going to do with these?? I wanted a clock radio." It went on and on and on. In front of Steve, his parents and a couple of their guests who had only just met her for the first time. I downplayed it but something else in me died a little more inside. Another piece of my respect and love and care for her just… fizzled.
Mum didn't take the cups I bought her. She thrust them back at me. It turned into her hurt for being treated "this way". She didn't apologise later for her behaviour, in fact, she probably either forgot or felt justified. She got her clock radio. The love and gratitude was lavished on the other siblings. And you know what? I was always deemed her favourite by the others, a fact I cannot deny. Being a "favourite" of a mentally unstable parent has its drawbacks, don't ever doubt it.
That was a typical sort of Mothers Day when my mother was the focus. Her birthdays were similar. Like the time I was fourteen and made her a birthday cake after school as a peace offering because I'd been running late for the bus that morning and hadn't had time to give her present before rushing to school (she came out to the bus stop and yelled at me… in front of a pile of kids). I presented the cake to her and she followed me outside and threw it to our chooks right when I was standing there, a wild-eyed smile on her face. I couldn't comprehend, looking back on that as a satisfied and content mother myself for the first time in 2007 , the sick delight and pleasure I thought I saw that day. The point in crushing her children like that. Anything we did pretty much got thrown back in our face, no matter how much or little care we put in as youngsters.
It's only been in recent years that I've finally understood: nothing we ever did was wrong, she was in the grips of a mental illness (perhaps several, it's later been considered, and she remains untreated) so it wouldn't have mattered what we did; if the switch had been flicked that particular day, that was it. Even she had no control over the outcome for by then, she was almost completely out of control in those moments. Of course there was no sick delight in abusing us in this way. I can imagine now that it was probably more like an addict – there's a heady rush in the moment, but afterwards the awful self-loathing just contributes to the pattern continuing.
I don't blame her, for how can I? I've gone beyond yearning for a fully-present mother, I've overcome the years of anger towards her in my early adulthood when her control still overshadowed my full potential. There is a wistful acceptance now, an appreciation of how hard her job really was. But also how hard it was as the child of an unchecked, unmedicated, under-assisted mentally ill parent. It seems many knew there was something "not quite right", but it was difficult to get involved, to offer suggestions, to name it. She wouldn't let them. To this day, she won't let anyone even mention it as a possibility – that she may need help. And I understand that too. But my compassion has to come from a distance. I send her love from afar. I silently thank her for showing me as a child how to tie my laces, hold the tongue forward in my shoes before I put my foot in them, hold my sleeves before putting on a jumper so they don't get all bunched up and uncomfortable. I am also better off this far out of her sphere of self-destruction, although it drags like a weight around my neck – an ongoing weight that permeates many areas of my daily life.
It is what it is. It is familiar. It is a sickness. An illness. An ingrained – partly learned, partly genetic code – one which I refuse to give in to and vow to break open and heal within myself so that it does not get passed on to another generation. God knows how many generations of my mother's family that particular sickness has trickled down from.
It is little wonder that I am so hellbent on getting to know my ancestors. The more I know them – long after they have been gone and their influence is still felt in my cellular memory – the more I understand her.

Eye of the Storm isn't really Blood Elves vs Dranei though. There's some pictures of them on the loading screen, and they happen to be the race to talk to on the EotS weekend, but that's about it. There is no story behind it. There is no faction behind it. There is no rewards or quests for it. It doesn't even have a location. When people continuously complain about how things are unfair, you get a soulless battleground that is perfectly symmetrical with pretty much no terrain.

There are a number of people that occupy annual rentals in Lely of Naples to try out the community before they make a purchase. This is fine provided that the market is not on the way back up costing you more later than if you would have purchased a home verses renting.
There are number of great rentals to be found and will soon be listed on this page.
When you are search for Lely Resort Condos or Condominiums then you should be aware that there are three main building types which are Low-Rises, Mid- Rises and High-Rises.

Are you a happy person and if so what brings you happiness?
The world shows and gives us many different images of happiness, buy this, go here, do this,, etc. but if we are constantly searching for external happiness how do you know when you have found it?
I personally prefer to find happiness within me, in my experience this is me standing in my power.

adesh saxena 30+Jul 2 2013: I choose to be happy always, no matter what.
Happiness is not pleasure.
Even if we are not experiencing pleasure we can be happy.
Happiness does not depend on outside factors, situation or cicumstances,
It lies and comes from with in.
Nobody can make us unhappy
Have belief, we can be happy no matter what.
We choose to be happy as a way of life and we need not wait for it to happen.
Happiness is harmony. Happiness is a state of mind where our body, mind and soul are in harmony.
Jul 2 2013: a 3 years old kid is happy when you give his / her chosen toy / food / etc...
you may say, They we buy happiness for our kids...
I would say: "YES!"
read this:
Giving makes us happier...
in may cultures, some parents or couples hardly they say to their children or partners that three word sentence: "I love you" ...
we have to say that on daily basis, even a few times in a day to our partners / Friends / colleagues / children that we love them and seal it with a big hug.
how many times we do that today? I guess we all are busy for that.

Couple Face Off : Atif-Sara and Mehreen-Ahmed at LSA 2013
Oddly enough, both the newly wed couples were snapped in very similar looks at the LSA 2013 ; her in an elegantly draped cream sari and long side swept hair, him playing the dapper hubby in a black suit, matching tie and white shirt. Wait for it. The fashion face-off didn't stop there. The Hubbies decided to keep their stubbles for the night while their lady loves went for dangly earrings and similar sandals to finish their perfect Bahu-Look. Strange, no?
Congratulating Mehreen on her well-deserved win for the Best Female Model. She was wearing a white chikankari sari by Mehdi & a matching Bottega Veneta Clutch.
So tell us , prefer a straight faced Atif-Sara Bharwana or a cheery Mehreen Syed-Ahmed Sheikh? Is it just us who are not aware of this wardrobe staple but what is that weird horizantal black strip around Atif's chest? :/

Wedding Style : Shezray Husain in Bunto Kazmi bridal
For the big day, Shezray Husain got herself a pastel hued Bunto Kazmi bridal dress. She looked lovely & absolutely on trend with Bunto's signature Mukaish work mixed with multicolored Resham (thread) embroidery & a fuschia pouch. We for one are loving the the new generation bride – modern, classic and simple.
Emaad Hasan was wearing a custom-made Sherwani by Sabyasachi. Here's wishing Shezray & Emaad a very happy married life.
P.S. You may recall Shehrnaz also wearing Bunto Kazmi at Shezray's Mehendi. Read here if you haven't already.

In Sabyasachi – Shezray Husain at her Mehendi
For her Mehendi ceremony in Lahore recently, Shezray Husain went for a custom-made Sabysachi dress. The signature Sabya colors looked lovely against the bride's peachy complexion. We like that she kept the jewelry & make-up minimal and let the dress do most of the talking..Emaad Hasan , the bridegroom was wearing a custom-made Deepak Perwani kurta. Here's your look at their lovely mehendi pictures.
P.S. Shehrnaz was wearing a signature Bunto Kazmi mukesh ensemble. Loved her minty-green pants !

In Sabyasachi – Shehrnaz Husain at Shezray-Emaad's Wedding Reception
It was a bright & beautiful Sabyasachi anarkali for Shehrnaz Husain ( Creative Director ENSEMBLE Pakistan) at her sister's wedding reception. We seldom see Sabya work in candy colors but this makes us want to see more of 'em. She finished out her look with side swept soft curls & pearl baalis. Love how effortlessly she pulled off an otherwise heavily embellished outfit, an art few women have mastered in Pakistan.
P.S. Some of you have already inboxed us on our Facebook Page asking for a clearer picture of the dress after seeing the blurry Teaser. Well… here it is

Iman Pasha at Misha Lakhani's pre-wedding Milad
Dubai-based Stylist & a close friend to the bride, Iman Pasha wore one of Misha Lakhani's Fashion Pakistan Week 2012 two-tone silk crepe dress at Misha's pre-wedding Milad. She went for a more pronounced black belt ,black accessories & added a net dopatta to complete her look. We like how the dopatta adds alot of personality to an otherwise party-wear dress. The hair & make-up was done by Natasha's Salon. Good job Natasha !
P.S. How gorgeous does Misha herself look :) We'll review her Wedding outfits too once we get our hands onto clearer pics. Check back later for more from Misha Lakhani & Mustafa Dawood's ongoing wedding festivities.

Pacifica: Spotlight on Waterfront Plaza
(page 3 of 4)
Day to Night
Take in a doctor's or lawyer's appointment, a haircut, a stop by the bank and later meet friends or family for an evening of after-hours socializing or a quiet, elegant dinner. With ample parking and 24/7 security, Waterfront Plaza smoothly makes the transition from bustling daytime business activity to an evening of food and friendship as one of urban Honolulu's few successful and sought-after day-to-night venues.
What's Inside
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
"Welcome to the United States." In 2011, 3,444 new citizens, 3,900 interviewees for naturalization and nearly 7,900 people with immigration issues heard these words at the Honolulu USCIS field office. "People come here from throughout the Pacific for immigration information, green card and citizenship interviews," says Marie Sebrechts, USCIS regional manager – Southwest. Centralized location, accessibility and ample parking are the key reasons the USCIS put its most geographically expansive federal immigration field office in Waterfront Plaza.
Building 2 Suite 400 and 500.
Oahu Publications, Inc. (OPI)
With its flagship publication the Honolulu Star-Advertiser ranked among the top 25 largest U.S. dailies as Honolulu's only daily newspaper, OPI has become one of Hawaii's major print media companies since its establishment in 2001. About 85 percent of Oahu adults read its MidWeek weekly or the daily Star-Advertiser. Thanks to the state-of-the-art Roland offset printing press, OPI also publishes three military newspapers, hotel and luxury magazines (including HILuxury Magazine) and diverse specialty products. "We can offer advertisers a full spectrum of custom printing and direct mail services," says Dave Kennedy, senior vice president of marketing, one of many OPI departments, including editorial, advertising and circulation located in the newly named Honolulu Star Advertiser Tower.

"Our vision was to bring together young professionals in a place with entertainments that appealed to our generation," says co-owner Gavin Nomura (with brother Travis). Open seven days a week until 2 a.m., Nocturna attracts the after-work and weekend crowd with its biggest draw – video games – and offers Challenges!!, pitting contestants against its Team Nocturna staff of specialty gamers, says Gavin Nomura. Four private rooms are available for fundraisers, company gatherings and meetings.
Suite 5-D.
Give Aloha
For 22 years, Waterfront Plaza has been an anchor site of the Hawaii Food Bank's annual January-to-April food drive. "Thanks to the efforts of all of our tenants, here at Waterfront, we collected $19,957.35 and 7,048 pounds of food," says Waterfront General Manager Steve Sullivan of 2012's successful campaign, which culminated with food, fun and entertainment. "Our large donation site makes it convenient to give and easy to get into the spirit of giving." And oh yes! Waterfront's campaign helped the Food Bank reach its goal of providing one million meals to 183,000 Hawaii residents.

Jazzamba Lounge
Back in the 1960s the jazz scene in Addis was booming. So big was the scene that Ethiopian jazz even had its own style and name: Ethiojazz. Then along came the Derg and away went the fun.

There's a quality program of music, film, dance and drama performances in the theatre itself, but most tourists are here for the popular, free weeknightly outdoor events.
Since the 1970s the Baxter has been the focus of Capetonian theatre. There are three venues – the main theatre, the concert hall and the studio – and between them they cover everything from kids' shows to African dance spectaculars. They have an ongoing relationship with the Royal Shakespeare Company thanks to Capetonian Sir Anthony Sher, who has performed here.
No-frills but still the place for live music, with a changing roster of bands and genres every night except Sunday. Look for notices around town about events, otherwise visit the Book Café Facebook page. It also does woodfired pizzas.
Bobo's best live music venue, with an excellent sound system, a big stage, a fab garden and a fantastic program of Burkinabé and African artists (music mostly but also dance and theatre).
This 'Jazz Bar & Grill', as the strapline goes, is one of the best live music venues in Accra. Bands come from all over the continent and there is a great atmosphere.
The Bomas of Kenya is a cultural centre at Langata, near the main gate to Nairobi National Park.

Five of the 14 soccer teams in the Tunisian first division are from Tunis, including archrivals Club Africain and Espérance Sportive de Tunisie. Both use Stade Olympique as a home ground. Matches are usually at 14:00 on Sunday You'll find fixture details in the Saturday press.
Mainly based at Artscape, South Africa's 'orchestra for all seasons' plays concerts all over the city including at the Old Town Hall where the auditorium has very good acoustics. The orchestra has been working hard to ensure its musicians reflect the ethnic breakdown of the Western Cape more closely.
People visit this especially for the ever mutating cultural-site-cum-living-gallery and experimental-performance space. This mosaic- and sculpture-filled site is the hot place for cool locals and is popular among travellers as well.
The appealing Municipal Theatre has changed little since it was built in 1822, making it the oldest theatre in the Indian Ocean region.

Performances are in the evenings – usually at 8pm.

There are no user reviews yet - Be first to review Dirty Pretty Things.
The grandest and most vigorous movie he's (Frears) made in at least a decade. Like Okwe himself, it rises above its limitations, and it's just a little bit bigger than the landscape around it.
It's a dark and revealing movie, and, while the ending may not be upbeat enough for those expecting mainstream fare, it offers a measure of hope and a catharsis.
This is a film that insinuates itself deeply into our awareness. It's that rare pulp story with something on its mind, an unnerving, socially conscious thriller with a killer sense of narrative drive.

At a news conference this morning, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis, Richfield Mayor Debbie Goettel, Circle Pines Mayor Dave Bartholomay, and other Minnesota mayors urged legislators to pass Governor Dayton's plan to stabilize local government aid and deliver property tax relief to Minnesota homeowners and businesses.
Over the last ten years, property taxes have gone up 86 percent, placing a huge burden on the middle class. The governor's plan would deliver $1.4 billion in direct property tax relief to homeowners, increase aid to cities and counties by $120 million over the next two years. Businesses would also benefit from Governor Dayton's plan. His budget freezes state property taxes for all businesses and cuts state business property taxes by 3.6 percent, or over $120 million through 2017. More information about these measures is outlined below.
Today in Duluth, DEED Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben and Duluth Mayor Don Ness held a news conference to discuss Governor Dayton's proposed $30 million investment in the Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF).
MIF is one of the state's key job creation tools. It helps encourage Minnesota firms that have options outside of the state to expand here, and provides incentives for businesses outside Minnesota to locate in our state. In recent years, MIF sustained an 86 percent budget cut which severely limited its impact in creating and retaining Minnesota jobs. The governor's proposed reinvestment in the program will help create tens of thousands of jobs and leverage an estimated $990 million in private investment. More information about MIF is included below.

Minnesota expands health care for poor
Another 35,000 poor Minnesotans will get health care under a bill Gov. Mark Dayton signed Tuesday. The bill expands Medical Assistance, the state's Medicaid program. The federally funded expansion would save $129 million in the next two-year budget, supporters say.
"Minnesotans who will be covered by this legislation desperately need better-quality health care," Dayton said. "Instead of taking their health crises to emergency rooms, thousands of low-income children, families and individuals will be able to see doctors sooner and live healthier lives."
State Rep. Tom Huntley added: "This legislation allows us to cover more Minnesotans with health insurance and at the same time get more bang for our buck for Minnesota taxpayers."
The senior citizen advocacy group AARP praised the action. "We represent thousands of consumers who have either gone without health care for years because they didn't qualify for coverage or have lost their health insurance during the economic downturn; they will benefit greatly from this expansion," AARP Minnesota Director Michele Kimball said.
Children's Mental Health Services
In order to help all our children achieve success in school and life, Minnesota must provide additional funding to improve access to mental health support and counseling for Minnesota kids. The Governor's budget invests $7.4 million to expand school-linked mental health grants, doubling the number of Minnesota schools that can offer essential mental health services to students while they are at school. An estimated 13,900 students would gain access to these mental health services annually by 2017.
Having a child that requires mental health services can be difficult on their families. It is necessary to provide support for these students and families at home. The Governor's budget would provide funds for an initiative to teach parents and siblings skills that will help them support a child's mental health treatment at home, in addition to counseling.
A growing number of Minnesota kids have been diagnosed with Autism in the past few years. The Governor's budget would expand access to quality treatment and services to help kids with Autism improve their communication skills and increase social interaction at a critical time in their development. About 440 kids would gain access to these treatments and services by 2014 and 880 kids would gain coverage each year starting in 2015.

For some Minnesota businesses, sales tax debate is all about fairness
Don't tell Wendy Brown that a business can't charge a sales tax and survive. She's been collecting the tax every time she gives a Schnauzer or a golden doodle a shampoo and a clip at her shop in south Minneapolis. So to her, Gov. Mark Dayton's proposal to lower the tax rate and spread it to a wider variety of businesses -- such as hair salons for humans -- is about fairness.
"I'm just surprised that hair salons have not been taxed," said Brown, owner since 1976 of Wendy's Doghouse, a pet grooming shop a few blocks west of the Minnehaha Dog Park. "I've been paying sales tax forever."
"The lines have been drawn over the years, and they've been relatively arbitrary," said Myron Frans, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue. "There's some people that say the rationale is simply, it depends on who was in the room when the bill was written."
"It's really silly that we've narrowed our sales tax so much," said Wade Vitalis, owner of the Drive-In Restaurant in Taylors Falls (closed for the winter) and Gransburg, Wis. Vitalis has been collecting sales tax for 26 years, adding it to the price of each patty melt and butterscotch malt. When businesses argue that they wouldn't be able to handle it and still prosper, he doesn't buy it.
"I don't have a lot of sympathy for that argument," he said. "If you can't figure out how to do it, someone will, because this is America."

Dayton wants to boost funding for English language learning
CHASKA, Minn. — In hopes of boosting student achievement, Gov. Mark Dayton wants to boost funding for the state's English language learning programs by about $4.5 million a year, a 12 percent increase over current levels.
The governor's proposal is aimed at helping the 65,000 students in Minnesota for whom English is not a first language.
The state spends $40 million a year helping those students learn English, while they also study math, reading, writing, and other subjects.
Around the State
This week, cabinet level commissioners continued bringing the governor's budget proposal to the people of Minnesota. Yesterday, Office of Higher Education Director Larry Pogemiller visited with college students in Moorhead, discussing Governor Dayton's proposed investments in student financial aid. Today, Department of Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson is in Duluth with Lt. Governor Yvonne Prettner Solon to discuss the governor's proposed investments in children's mental health. The governor's cabinet will continue traveling across Minnesota next week, holding conversations with Minnesotans about Governor Dayton's Budget for a Better Minnesota.
Today in the News
Minnesota Daily
Higher education grants may get boost
Higher education backers are excited that the governor's budget proposal could substantially increase state grant funding for lower-income students. Gov. Mark Dayton's biennial budget proposal provides $80 million for the Minnesota State Grant Program — a need-based financial assistance program used by a quarter of undergraduates at the University of Minnesota.
The proposed increase in student aid is the largest in more than 25 years, said Larry Pogemiller, director of the Minnesota Office of Higher Education.
"We've slipped behind in higher education, and now we are in a catch-up mode," said Rep. Lyndon Carlson Sr., DFL-Crystal. "The governor is trying to get us there as rapidly as he can with his proposal."
Minnesota has the third-highest postgraduate student debt rate in the country, according to the Institute for College Access and Success.
Gov. Dayton Addresses Issues at CSB
Governor Mark Dayton defended his budget proposal at a public forum last night. The governor said we have, "a rare opportunity to lead," in front of a large crowd at the College of St. Benedict.
Dayton covered a range of issues that include taxes, marriage equality and gun control. The governor called for an increase in taxes on wealthy Minnesotans to provide new revenue for the state. He said, "If people are doing better, they should want to pay more taxes." Dayton says everyone needs to chip in and pay their fair share.
The governor also made a pitch for an increase in higher education spending. He said Minnesota needs to, "put money where our values are."
ST. PAUL, MN – Governor Mark Dayton announced today a new reform initiative that will provide better health care for 100,000 Minnesotans and lower costs for taxpayers. In an effort to further improve the state's Medicaid program, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) is partnering with six health care providers to test a new payment model that prioritizes quality, preventive care and rewards providers for achieving mutually-agreed upon health goals.
Two years into his administration, Governor Mark Dayton is continuing his efforts to build a Better Minnesota. The Dayton Administration is taking note of what has been accomplished so far while still considering the work that is yet to be done.
One important component of building a Better Minnesota is supporting a clean and healthy environment. Minnesota is the Land of 10,000 lakes and a state where people care about the health and integrity of our natural resources. A healthy environment is central to the quality of life that all Minnesotans enjoy, and a crucial component in the success of our economy. Governor Dayton is committed to protecting and improving our natural resources, and leaving a legacy of clean water, cleaner air, and better parks and trails for future generations of Minnesotans.
For years, the Minnesota River has been considered one of the most polluted rivers in the state. But collaborative efforts across agencies have made important progress toward improving the health of the river.
Recent testing from the Pollution Control Agency showed marked improvements in dissolved oxygen, phosphorus, and chlorophyll levels. That means conditions have improved to support the health of fish and aquatic species populations in the river.
More work must be done to reduce sediment, bacteria, nutrients, and other contaminants in the river. But the work of over 40 wastewater treatment plants and other clean up efforts have put the Minnesota River on the path to recovery.
The MPCA is a major partner of Clean Air Minnesota's Project Green Fleet (PGF). Since it began in 2005, PGF has worked with school districts and school bus fleet operators to retrofit buses with Diesel Oxidation Catalysts and closed crankcase filtration systems.
After two years in office, Governor Mark Dayton is continuing to make important progress toward building a Better Minnesota.
One crucial measure of that progress is improving the health of Minnesotans, which is essential to a high quality of life in Minnesota. Governor Dayton is pursuing a variety of strategies to improve the health of individuals, families, and communities across our state, including increasing access to high quality, affordable health insurance and promoting strong community health programs. The Dayton Administration is focused on improving the quality of life for all Minnesotans, and lowering the cost of health care in our great state of Minnesota.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has worked to reduce diesel emission in school buses, snowplows, fire trucks, and other large vehicles. Emissions retrofits on school buses alone have improved air quality for nearly 85,000 kids in 91 school districts statewide.
In 2012, MPCA focused on reducing diesel emission in long-haul semi-trucks. At current fuel prices, retrofits made to 282 vehicle engines, and reduced idling on 155 trucks, will save trucking companies $600,000 each year in fuel costs. Health benefits derived from these emissions reductions are estimated to total $123.5 million.
On Nov. 27, the regional Citizen Forums on the Environment will begin with forums in Rochester and Bloomington.
The forums are an opportunity for Minnesotans to interact with state agency commissioners and staff, and learn more about Minnesota's Environment & Energy Report Card. Those attending the forums will be asked to answer key questions and submit more in-depth ideas for consideration.
The State of Minnesota wants to hear what Minnesotans' priorities and visions are for the environment. The input gathered at the forums will be compiled and presented to the Dayton Administration at a statewide Environmental Congress next March.
Citizen forums:
The Minnesota Environmental Congress and the Citizens Forums leading up to it are the result of Governor Dayton's Executive Order 11-32. To assess Minnesota's progress toward clean air, water and energy, the Environmental Quality Board is convening Citizen Forums around the state to engage citizens in constructive dialogue, identify environmental challenges, and define a vision for Minnesota's environmental future.

The views in these blogs are those held by the individual blogger and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton Football Club.
About the authorView articles
The most pleasing aspect of Jack Rodwell's first interview following his maiden England call-up came right at the end.
There was no disguising his exhilaration and rarely has a first-team player been so keen to sit down for the evertontv cameras.
But after talking at length about his and his family's quite understandable and fulsome pride, he uttered the phrase: "There is more to come."
Indeed, there is so much more to come from a boy whose talents have been cultivated at the school of science since the age of six.
When Rodwell made his debut amid the pomp and frenzy of the Blues' rambunctious 2007/08 UEFA Cup escapade, his trademark grace was immediately apparent – and in stark contrast to the booze-sodden jigging of Everton supporters weaving around the Dutch terraces, rejoicing as their team cut a stylish swathe through the heart of the competition.
But it was the following season when, with injuries decimating David Moyes' squad, and the Blues chasing glory in both league and cup that the cat really came out the bag.
His maturity belied his years, his passing ability shone through, his habit of popping up with goals was revealed and any notions of him being intrinsically defensive were well and truly banished.
Eminent journalists, notably the Daily Telegraph's Henry Winter, were quick to extol his virtues and at that point, most would have predicted a full England call-up a lot sooner than the twilight months of 2011.
Yet if there is one reason for that delay – and lest we forget he is still only 20, yes, 20-years-old – then it is injury.
At the start of last season, with Steven Pienaar and Mikel Arteta both still at the club and rightly deserving of midfield berths, Moyes opted to use Rodwell on the right, shoehorning him into the side given that the case for him to play had reached its tipping point.
So somewhat ironically then it was playing on the right at Aston Villa that he picked up the first of a series of injuries that would characterise a niggly, bitty and ultimately frustrating season for the Birkdale-born player.
He simply never got going.
That run of games he craved never materialised, and with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Tom Cleverly and Jordan Henderson all emerging, Rodwell's voguish twinkle dimmed and his golden boy status was usurped by arguably less deserving contemporaries.
But while it must have been excruciating for him, Rodwell may reach the end of this season and look on it as a blessing in disguise, should his current upturn in fortunes continue to gather pace.
It meant he was allowed to go to the European Under-21 Championships without fuss and play games – although not as many as he should have done following Stuart Pearce's mind-boggling use of Michael Mancienne in midfield.
All the same it was time on the pitch and that was what Rodwell needed. A full pre-season was also a god-send, as were further Under-21 run-outs in the early part of this season.
Those games, interwoven with regular club starts, are the reason he is now catching up and beginning to steely, game-worn and seasoned.
His improvement has been incremental. His confidence, strength, fitness, tackling, passing and positional sense are all improving game by game.
It is not rocket science. A sustained run of games in his favoured position is all he wanted and all he needed – and look where it has got him.
Few distinguished themselves at Newcastle last week, but Rodwell did, and he deserves immense credit for stepping up since Arteta's departure and for being brave enough to accept the extra responsibility.
Make no mistake, the 20-year-old is still some way off the finished article and still some way off his best - yet that is what is so encouraging.
His form this season arguably isn't even the best we have seen from him in an Everton shirt. That isn't a negative. That is a massive, glorious, resplendent plus.
With luck on his side and a first full, uninterrupted season as a professional in the bank, who knows the levels he can reach by May next year.
As he calmly asserted at the end of his interview this week – the best is yet to come – and for Evertonians wanting to look on the bright side, that should be right at the top of their list.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My idea is this... do away with team ratings as they currently are. Your personal rating gets reset at the beginning of the season, and it stays locked, so if you change teams, your rating persists. Your team's average personal rating gets used for comparisons purposes as far as matching, but a comparison of YOUR personal rating and the other teams average team rating is what is used to adjust your point change for the match.
Say, you have a 3v3 team queueng up with 2 2100 players with a 1500 player. That team would queue up as a 1950 team for the purposes of finding a matching team. While this would penalize a team for grabbing somebody new, it prevents people from expecting easy wins from 'Mercenary' gladiators who are selling points. If the 1500 player should be higher ranked as far as skill goes, he'll catch up as he just scored a win on a 1950 team as a 1500 player.

By Ryan from USA on 2011-06-28 18:38:14Things I liked:Quality construction. Very few deformed. This is my pellet of choice for target shooting/plinking with my AirArms TX200MKIII. I use a .22 rimfire spinner target to plink, and this pellet makes a very pleasing "swack" when it hits steel. If this pellet is accurate in your gun, I feel it would also make an excellent choice for pest control. However, I personally prefer H&N Barracuda for pest control in my rifle.
Things I would have changed:I took off one star because I feel the price of pellets is too high.
What others should know:This was the most accurate in my AirArms TX200MKIII. As with any pellet, this may or may not work well in your rifle. I'm tired of people giving bad ratings because a particular pellet didn't work well in their rifle. Do us all a favor and give us an honest review of the quality and construction of the pellet and let us decide whether or not it works in our rifle.

Does the Gap in Family-Friendly Policies Drive the Family Gap?
AbstractA segregation of the labour market into a family-friendly and a non-family friendly sector has the effect that women self-select into the sectors depending on institutional constraints, preferences for family-friendly working conditions and expected wage differences. We find that neglecting the sector dimension tends to understate the effect of birth-related interruptions in both sectors. The combined effect of a large depreciation effect and no recovery means that females in the non-family friendly sector (e.g. private sector) are punished severely after childbirth. In the family friendly sector (e.g. public sector), we find complete catching up.

Does anyone remember how to automatically call out on your sheet template which sheet number it is of the whole? ie Sheet X of Y? (fill in (parameter) for X and Y?) Thanks!
I don't believe that's at all possible to do automatically. Revit wouldn't be able to automatically know in what order a particular user wants his sheets.
Thank you for your post. In this case there is nothing currently automatic about this feature. You could create a blank text field in the titleblock family, which you could then enter in information desired manually. This would be a little more involved than what you look to be seeking. I hope this helps. Thank you.
