This set of instructions on how to make a Box kite assumes you know absolutely nothing about kite making. You might already have some of the simple tools and materials required. Anything you don't have is easily bought.
If not exactly what I used, then at least something pretty similar!
The instructions on how to make a Box kite might look awfully long, but each step is quite simple to do. Just quickly work your way through, skimming over any detail that you don't need. All in all, it should be quite hard to make a mistake!
The MBK 1-Skewer Box Kite is rather small at just 29cm (11 1/2") long, with cell panels measuring 14.5cm x 8.7cm (5 3/4" x 3 1/2"). It will stay airborne in moderate winds, but does even better in fresh winds.
Like all the other MBK 1-Skewer kites, this design can't be taken
apart for transport. However, that's not much of a problem due to it's
small size! Just be sure to treat it with care when handling or
transporting it.
Download a free kite-making e-book!
Plus an amazing bonus.
The template up there represents one cell of the kite, laid out flat. Transfer the measurements to the sail plastic as follows...
At this point, you've pretty much finished making the MBK 1-Skewer Box Kite!
Finally, make up a flying line and attach it to the bridle with a Lark's Head Knot. See the photo below.
Assuming there is plenty of breeze outside, just dangle the kite at arm's length until the wind catches it.
As long as you feel the kite pulling, let out line slowly by letting it slip through your fingers.
Another approach is to get a helper to hold the kite up and let it go, with maybe 10 or 20 meters of line let out. This way, the kite soon gets high enough to make it easy to let more line out. That's assuming there is plenty of wind!
If this box kite doesn't fly, there is only one explanation: not enough wind! If it loops around in one direction, try adding a little tail to one side of the lower cell. Imagine the kite looping around... The extra tail needs to go on the outside of that loop.
An important part of making a box kite as small as this one is selecting bamboo skewers that are as straight and consistent as possible. If you can do a perfect job, the kite might even fly straight with no tails at all, over a large wind range. On something this small, it's just hard to do.
My collection of real-life Box kite stories is worth checking out!
Illustrated with photos and videos, of course.
Isn't it nice to not be grounded when it's fairly windy outside, and it's way too strong for the light-wind MBK designs!
If you think you have done an accurate job of selecting skewers and constructing the kite, experiment with using less tail. It will fly higher with less tail to drag it down.
Hope you've enjoyed learning how to make a Box kite!
The video shows an extra tail in action. You will need to experiment a little, since adding too much tail will make the kite loop around in the opposite direction...
Now, just in case you have actually made and flown this kite at least once already...
You've probably read a kite-flying story or 2 of mine, after they appear under the "what's new?" link on this site. I sometimes wonder if anyone else has made and flown this particular design...
If you feel your efforts really paid off when the the kite finally got airborne - please type a few paragraphs in here telling us all about it!
P.S. I can only accept stories of at least 300 words. Just mention a few details like the weather, onlookers, the kite's behavior and so on - 300 words is easy!
You might have noticed that this site has a monthly newsletter...
For single-line kite fliers and builders, it's always been a good read. But if you are interested in KAP and/or large home-made kites you won't want to miss it!

"Love the easy to understand step by step instructions, made from next to nothing materials and above all so much fun to fly... cheers Tim for sharing your well thought out pdf kite designs with the whole world.
Very satisfying making your own and watching them get air-born for the first time."
"I've just bought your super e-book and spent most of last night pouring through all the great stuff in it!
Very detailed and USEFUL information - thanks for such a great book."
years ago, I tried making a kite using the 'instructions' in a free
kite-safety booklet. What a disappointment for a young boy.
Your instructions and methods are wonderful. You help the builder to focus on accuracy, without making it hard. Also, you use materials that are durable, yet cheap!"

thank you"

"I used to be terribly afraid of heights, and one reason I went skydiving was because I believe you can only conquer your fears by meeting them head on and not running away from them. The first few times I jumped, I was really nervous. Even now, I still feel anxious the second before I jump. But once I'm out of the plane and in the air, it's exhilarating.
I think we are all capable of much more than we realize. Sometimes we don't even have to believe that we can do it. We just have to take the first step, and before you know it, we're doing it! Just take the first step."
Todd takes that first step over and over again and has conquered his fears and inspires others to do the same. #reallifeheroes #skydiver

Teen Mom 3 – Season 1 – Reunion – RECAP!
Katie: At this point in time, Katie and Joey were back together and trying to make things work. It was almost sad to watch. Katie was still struggling to figure out who she was with and without Joey. Her mom came on to talk about how she felt about the relationship and it was very obviously hard for her to see Katie repeat the cycle that she had started with Katie's dad, and Katie knew that she was doing it as well. Joey was not helping at all and was extremely defensive when talking to Katie's mom, who was very open about disliking the way he treated her daughter.
Katie & Joey are no longer together, obviously. The only relationship they have is a co-parenting relationship.
Briana: Devoin talked in circles and showed his ass. He went back and forth between saying he wanted to see Nova and saying that he wanted to give up even trying, and it was Briana's fault he wasn't seeing her. He would also say that he wanted to have Nova alone, but then couldn't even manage to make it to Briana's house to visit his daughter. Then he wen as far as to say he'd file to pay child support….then this moron goes off saying Nova might not even be his because he's never had a paternity test done. Riiiiiiigh. Because Nova looks nothing like him. (Sarcasm) Anyways, Devoin then makes the mistake of challenging Briana's mothering skills saying she didn't know what she was doing in her 16 & Pregnant episode and Brittany comes out to confront him and he gets in her face, and then Roxy comes out ready to throw heels. He gets escorted off stage while yelling.
Later in the show, it's like he puts on his "say the right thing" face and acts all apologetic and starts saying all of the right things like he did at Nova's birthday party. According to Roxy, they have seen no progress with Devoin.
Alex: Alex looked amazing and healthy and like she was in such a better place, at this reunion. She mentioned that Matt had not seen his daughter in quite some time. Matt coined the term "clean clean" when Dr. Drew asked him if he was clean. "You mean clean clean?" Um, yes. He mentioned that he didn't see his daughter because he didn't know what he was capable of while high…..one would naturally suggest that you stop getting high then. He did pass a drug test at the reunion show.
Matt's opinion of the show? "Doesn't mean it's the truth cause I said it on tv. A story line is a story line." Well alright….Currently Matt has supervised visitations with his daughter.
Mackenzie: I want to be team MacJosh so bad. Mackenzie was so brutally honest about her own flaws and so was Josh. It was really great to see them strip down to their rock bottoms and really open up. Mackenzie shared that she is still mourning the loss of her brother, which was something no one had really ever mentioned before. She admitted to cheating on Josh and Josh sleeping with another girl, etc. Their entire segent was so heart warming and refreshing, especially seeing how their relationship WAS going, and knowing that they're married now and expecting a second child.

Panel to feature Climate Scientists, Hurricane Specialists and Meteorology Experts
The Weather Company announced today that it will convene a panel discussion at the TED2013 conference in Long Beach, California. The Weather Company is the parent of The Weather Channel, weather.com, Weather Underground and WSI, a business-to-business focused weather service provider. The event, titled Climate Matters: A Year Out of Season, will provide a platform for the discussion of the extreme weather conditions of 2012 and the impact of climate change. The panel will feature senior executives and distinguished hurricane, climate and meteorology experts from The Weather Company, as well as the chief climatologist at Climate Central.
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to spreading ideas that can change lives, attitudes, and, ultimately, the world. Started in 1984 as a conference focused on bringing people together from technology, entertainment, and design, the TED conference has evolved into an annual forum that features many of the world's leading thinkers and doers speaking about some of the most complex and pressing issues of our day. The conference supports world-changing ideas with multiple global initiatives. The annual TED Prize provides exceptional individuals with generous financial resources to implement the ideas they believe can change the world for the better. This year's prize will be $1 million.
The Weather Company Chairman and CEO David Kenny will moderate the panel, and opening remarks will be delivered by long-time TED supporter Patrick Vogt, president of international at The Weather Company. The panelists will be Bryan Norcross, senior hurricane specialist at The Weather Channel; Jeff Masters, Ph.D., director of meteorology and co-founder of Weather Underground; and Heidi Cullen, Ph.D., chief climatologist at Climate Central and author of the 2010 book, The Weather of the Future: Heat Waves, Extreme Storms, and other Scenes from a Climate-Changed Planet.
The panel will explore a number of timely topics related to climate change, including 2012's extreme weather events across the United States. The first nine months of 2012 were the hottest in the United States on record, the U.S. wildfire season was the second-largest by area since records began in the 1960s, and the biggest drought in half a century hit the Midwestern United States. At the end of 2012, massive super storm Sandy put large parts of New York City and New Jersey underwater. In addition to examining the causes of higher temperatures and extreme weather, the panelists will explore the science underlying climate change. The group will then propose steps that can be taken to curtail climate change and help mitigate the damage from extreme weather events.
"We have a keen understanding of climate and extreme weather events at The Weather Company, and we want to help foster public understanding and the ability to react quickly to these increasingly hazardous weather issues," said David Kenny. "The caliber of people assembled on this panel makes me certain that the TED audience, and the broader TED community, will find this to be an enlightening discussion."

SMT are aiming for all lesson registration from September so we have been looking at registration modules. Contenders are Pars and Lesson Monitor. We've had them both in and although the demo guy for pars was a bit pants, I thought the system was really good. I always have a niggle in the back of my mind about SIMS modules, so I'm trying to get over that as others are leaning that way due to it's simplisity and a deal we could get for it.
Any opinions on here? Horror or love stories?
Many Thanks

PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD - Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago are two of the six teams competing in Round 5 of the Regional Super50 tournament to be particularly strengthened by the return of key players.
KINGSTON, Jamaica - Opener Brenton Parchment and seam bowler Krishmar Santokie are bidding for a place in Jamaica's starting line up ahead of their clashes against the Leeward Islands at Sabina Park.

Is It Okay to Take a Vitamin with Coffee?
Q. Is it bad to down my vitamins with a cup of coffee?
A. Yes. "Coffee is a stimulant, so it revs up the gastrointestinal tract and makes things move more quickly through your body," says FITNESS advisory board member Mark Moyad, MD, MPH, author of Dr. Moyad's No BS Health Advice. Translation: You won't absorb all of the nutrients from a capsule that is cruising through your system. The good news is you don't have to skip your morning mug. Just drink your coffee and eat breakfast first thing when you wake up and then wait 10 to 15 minutes to pop your vitamins with a glass of water.

Like the Doctor said, capsules dont have time to dissolve when you drink coffee. Try Perk Up, its a powder that dissolves IN your coffee and absorbs in your system very quickly. Check out www.perkupyourcoffee.com4/16/2010 08:28:16 AM Report Abuse

quote:AMD may be singing Klingon songs about how glorious its "Never Settle Reloaded" campaign is, and how it could help the company sail through the better part of the year without any significant product stack changes; but there's a dark side to it - retailers who haven't the slightest clue about how to handle returns. Take Newegg.com for example. An Overclock.net community member bearing handle "SkateZilla" filed an RMA for his broken Radeon HD 7900 series product which he purchased for $409. The card happened to include a "Never Settle" bundle. Instead of merely returning the faulty graphics card with one that works, Newegg.com initiated a money-back (refund). Instead of refunding his $409, Newegg.com deducted $169 from the amount towards "Promo Codes." How does that work? Let's go over that again:"SkateZilla" didn't apply for a refund to begin with. He merely wanted his broken card replaced.The Never Settle bundle is marketed as a promotional item (that which is free and carries no market value).Newegg.com sticks a $169 price tag to a promotional item, cuts the amount from the refund, and hands back $240 to the buyer, instead of replacing the broken card.The buyer had no option to buy the card without the promotion, and/or he was lured to buy an AMD Radeon by that promotion.
That's pretty stupid, and I hope Newegg takes some heat for this until they fix such a retarded policy.
+1 for amazon.
1 recommendation
Yeah, that's pretty bad. Makes you wish for the days when you RMAed your BFG Video Card and you always got a newer, more powerful model back. Man, those were great days! Well, until they went bankrupt... --Games - GameTech - S.F.Bay -
I don't even know were to start with this,......Honestly, if Newegg wants to value the game bundle at ~$169 IMO they can keep the games or accept an RMA on the game keys and effectively sell the HD 7970 for ~$240,....they would never go for that though,.... If the games are actually bundled outside of the retail package of the HD 7900 series cards then there should be no issue with an RMA replacement of just the video card itself via Newegg (during the return period). If the game key coupon bundle is added inside the video card retail package (which I doubt) and the keys are used (or barcode proof of purchase is removed for rebate) then the customer should be directed to RMA the defective video card with the manufacturer,......simple.
Yes, this is stupid, but I would think a phone call to someone in a supervisor position at Newegg would clear this one up pretty quickly. It's obviously not right what they've done.I'm just not so quick to go smearing Newegg on this one until they've had an opportunity to correct their error.
Of that I have little doubt,....I expect that Newegg will correct this to the satisfaction of the customer in question and even offer something gratis such as mayhaps a free widget,....
Hate to say it. But sometimes Best Buy has equal cards for the same money and they have a better return policy. Hate em or not. You just walk the eff in and return it. The end.
Matter of fact the last 3 cards I bought were from Best Buy and the prices were the same as NewEgg, Tiger and Amazon ones.
BB usually overcharges for substandard cards, but occasionally carries a decent brand. I worked with Ginjer to have them beat, by $10, the Newegg price (which included MIRs and instant discounts).But their average Sparkle/PNY cards? I wouldn't touch those spaceheaters.--Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Well in my case, Newegg is out of state and I don't pay taxes on most if not all purchases. That's a major plus IMO, often not available to me via Amazon for example. However, I do have Amazon Prime so that can help,...Anyway, my last video card purchase was a PNY GTX 670 from Newegg for ~$279.99 A/R with no tax and no S&H fee. I thought that was a great deal and it came with free Boarderlands 2 and Assassins Creed III coupon codes. I installed the card and worked it fairly hard for days before even looking at the coupon codes or even thinking about applying for the rebate. I think that's prudent and key,... I would have had no problem packing it ALL up and shipping it ALL back (unused coupon codes and all) at the slightest sign of a problem.Also I received a free FarCry 3 coupon code from my 500GB Samsung 840 SSD purchase some time ago from newegg at ~$330. Naturally I installed and used the SSD extensively before considering using the free game,...
Newegg pulled that shit with we a few years ago.--Professional student pilot!
Haven't had any bad luck with PNY anything in the past. I have a 7600 GS agp bus that still works and a PNY GTS 250. Sparkle I've never owned or seen in a retail store.

Gerry Goldstein opined that 13 months after a bad president in Egypt, a revolt threw him out of office. He compared that to the United States where after 48 months of a bad president we hold an election and reelect him.
But the Herald erred in printing a photograph of President Obama when it should have been one of George W. Bush.
He's the president who got us into two expensive wars, and one being a preemptive strike over weapons of mass destruction that weren't even there.
When Bush left office after his second term the country was plummeting into a depression.
What do the Republicans do? Blame it on the black guy.

(WHAS11) An early Christmas morning fire has left two children dead and a family grieving.
It happened at 4:00 a.m. Friday morning in the 6100 block of Longview Lane in eastern Jefferson County.
It's tough for something like this to happen on any day of the year, but people who were on the scene Friday said the fact that it is Christmas day, makes it that much harder.
It took firefighters hours to get the fire under control, but their work is far from over.
It's the worst fire, Robert Shofner, a long-time American Red Cross volunteer said he's ever seen. "This is bad, real bad. I've seen other disasters, but not a fire like this."
Firefighters said the fire quickly engulfed the home, owned by Cathy Bailey, a well-known Republican and Louisville philanthropist.
Chief Henry Ott, Metro Arson Squad said, "It started in the opposite end of the house away from everybody, so even as the alarm started sounding, the sheer size of the house and the fact that everybody was in the opposite end, allowed the fire to get a good start."
Seven people were inside the home at the time; 2 children did not make it out alive.
Ott said this tragedy has hit everyone hard, including his arson team.
"A lot of these people have teenagers. So it really hits home when you have kids that are similar in age to the victims. It is catastrophic. We've had a real bad year this year with fire deaths. This will make the 20th fire death in Jefferson County this year. And obviously it's never been like that before. It's just as tragic as all the other ones; the two here, on Christmas Day. It's just a tragedy for everybody."
The coroner is expected to release the cause of death of the two children sometime Saturday.

Parking veto stands in cityBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | March 19,2013Parking will remain free on Saturdays for the foreseeable future.
Mayor Christopher Louras' veto of a measure to enforce the parking meter ordinance stood at the close of Monday's Board of
Aldermen meeting. Alderman Gary Donahue made a motion to sustain the veto, but that motion failed for lack of a second and, it turns out, was unnecessary.
"We didn't do anything," Donahue said Tuesday. "By not doing anything, we sustained the veto. We didn't take any action and it just died right there."
Donahue said Alderman Jon Kiernan attempted to have the issue sent back to committee, but that motion failed for lack of a second.
Even without the veto, City Attorney Andrew Costello had said the board's action was likely invalid as it was based on a misunderstanding of the ordinance.
When the board met March 4, the members voted unanimously to support what they believed was the current policy of the police chief, who they believed had authority over the subject, to enforce the parking ordinance Monday through Saturday.
Shortly after that vote, however, Mayor Louras said that the police chief had no such policy and blamed the belief to the contrary on a miscommunication. A review of city records found that the board has the authority to set the times of enforcement and voted in 1994 to enforce it Monday through Friday.

The Slyde flashlight gives you 2 nice flashlights in 1 compact package. At first glance, the Slyde flash light looks like to be a simple, strong, compact flashlight with 250 lumens of output. Look a little deeper and youll see that the SLYDE is much more. The head of the Slyde flashlight slides out from the handle to reveal a 190 lumen work light. Even there, the Slyde has hidden depths. This work light uses a new innovation in LED technology called Chips On Board. The smaller LED chips clustered on a single circuit board, work together as one lighting module to provide greater output. This means that the Slyde flashlight outperforms traditional lighting by up to 50 times the light output per centimeter of light surface.
Besides that, the Slyde is a very convenient LED flashlight to carry. Sometimes you want illumination without having to hold your light on a particular spot. Just set your Slyde down, expand it and youll have a nice, compact lantern effect so that you can work with both of your hands. On top of that, Nebo included a magnetic base which means that you can lock the light in place on metal surfaces r horizontally on metalic walls, car hoods and cabinets so that the light won't fall down. This also comes in handy during a power out. Just set it down instead of a candle and youre back to the 21st century.

Comments about Platinum Garland Ring:
This ring manages to look delicate while being well-crafted and sturdy. I chose the garland ring because I wanted a wedding band with some dainty detailing but without a lot of flash. If you are looking for a band that will go well with an already-purchased engagement ring, the low-profile of the garland ring makes it a great choice. It is also perfectly lovely on its own.

Comments about Platinum Garland Ring:
I bought this ring because my engagement ring is a true vintage ring. Most platinum bands I looked at were too shiny and didn't match the worn matte platinum ring I had. This ring worked well.

You sing of the deep oceans,
and the blue skies.
The sunflowers in spring,
and the dew at night.
I listen to your voice, with
all the breath in my heart.
And try to remember the
melody, that I forgot.
You sing of the sound of the waves,
and even I can't make out,
the depth in every phrase.
But I continue to try with all
the breath in my heart,
to search for the melody that I forgot.
I wouldn't mind staying here all night,
listening to you sing of the colors of life.
I wouldn't mind losing my way,
as long as you're there to take my breath away.
And as you sing of the green fields,
and the blush of a maiden behind the veil.
I found the melody that I forgot,
as your voice reached the depths of my heart.
- Jasmine John
Do we really know about the sky? I guess no one really does. All we know is that the ionosphere reflects radio waves and all we see are the glimmering stars. But no matter how many astronomers and astronauts there are, we'll never be able to get enough of it.
You know you can dig the earth, reach the center and hit the bottom. But it's not the same with what's above.
No matter how far you look, no matter how high you reach, you can never hit the top. It's an enigma. It makes you keep searching for something. Meteor showers, shooting stars and eclipses are just glimpses of the beautiful magic above us. The rainbows of hope and the warm evening skies remind us of the significance of the mysteries yet to be discovered.
And in the end, you can't help but enjoy moments when you experience the bliss of the warmth under the skies and what's beyond it. It's an unfathomable aspect and that's why heaven's really above us, right?
In a place truly beautiful, which no one really knows about. That's what makes some people look forward to it, when they're ready to know about it.
- Jasmine John
You're wailing and screaming and crying.
Consumed with mirth, drenched in pain,
exhausted with fear.
The ground falls beneath your feet,
your hands reach out to the sky.
There's not a thing you can hear.
A blind light shines upon your face,
an elliptical drop touches your hair.
Your heart is filled with freedom,
- undaunted by the possibilities.
Your mind is at peace with you,
- nonchalant of what may come.
Then as lightening burns the night sky,
And thunder shakes the clouds awake.
Tremulous rain falls down like confetti,
And you slowly disappear and fade away.
~ Jasmine John
I want to go to sleep,
but these words keep pouring out.
I mumble and whisper and speak,
Of things I shall never figure out.
I write so furiously,
Of words that make no sense.
I'm afraid of what my heart is feeling,
or what it's trying to tell.
Tomorrow I'll wake up,
If Time allowed slumber.
And tear up these pieces,
of wasted paper.
I'll wake up to another day,
Of confusion and doubt.
Of what it is my heart seeks,
And is bursting to scream and shout.
~ Jasmine John
The fireworks burst and shatter in the sky,
and fade away in the blink of an eye.
No trace, no glitter left behind,
except for shadow and smoke in the night.
The winds carry the music of the fields,
the rivers bring the tears to sea.
The symphony silences at the mountain peak,
and the tears are lost in the depth of the sea.
The tallest trees do fall one day,
the warm sand does disappear one day,
the young grow old and the old wither out,
buried in the earth to decay and rot.
- And another firework flies out to sky,
and bursts into millions of bright light.
The winds carry away and the river flows on,
The birds rejoice a bright new dawn.
The little seed may take it's time,
the Miracles of Life shall slowly bind.
The mother smiles at the child's first cry,
and thanks heavens, up above so high.
~ Jasmine John
I see the world in black and white,
I push and pull with all my might.
My walls stand strong and
my eyes shine bright,
I jump over pits toward that light.
the light that frightens the cowards and the naive.
I see it clear though it's a far sight,
I'll tread on thorns by the hollow night.
The road gets treacherous at the end of the ride,
But I've decided to leave my worries behind.
The journey has been long and hard,
and cynical thoughts have crossed my mind.
Even when my heart, sinks in disdain,
The warrior in me shall never fail.
~ Jasmine John
The planet scorches and smokes,
toxic fumes of mortal's business.
Having lost it's natural radiance,
is now crude and coarse.
The oceans wail and rage,
for their waters exploited.
Seas cry out for the life within,
and the bounty that which is plundered.
The trees moan in vain,
as humans burn them down.
Their precious resources lay wasted,
and humanity carries recklessly on.
The Sky watches silently from above,
"Oh the agony I've witnessed."
"I can shelter no longer the earth,
and the treasures with which we're blessed."
The earth once full and lavish,
now crackles in it's parched lands.
The Sun bends down, merciless,
and the snow mountains decline.
The human race, ignorant and guilty,
are blinded by their foolishness.
They continue their ghastly criminal deeds,
unaware of the Age of Darkness.
As for me, I am human too,
guilty as much as you.
Like me, have others sung songs of nature,
and the bounty that which it beheld.
Now these will remain mere words,
ascribed on pieces of paper.
Until the spark of humanity,
is finally lit together.
The posters and slogans,
will do no good.
It's respect that nature needs.
Refill the bounty, save what's left,
from which our children may feed.
~ Jasmine John
The sun sinks below the horizon,
the city sleeps under the shimmering stars.
Dreams and thought float in the dark,
hopes of the persistent in dire hours.
The sullen and pensive, tired of vain pursuits,
turn cynical thinking of the day ahead.
Dismal with the thought of recurring failures,
Another defeat is what they dread.
Battle for the glory is a mighty struggle,
and the forces of life beat you down.
Let these grim thoughts settle,
even as fate upon you frowns.
There's more to glory than glory itself,
it's rather the strife you endure for it.
Showers of triumph shall rain upon you,
your reasons to worry are anything but true.
I say to those wakeful brethren,
Sleep now and sleep well,
Glory in your lives shall flood the gates
As for you, the persistent, petrichor day awaits.
- Jasmine John
It's not fate, it's not the lines on your palm and it's definitely not your birth date. You have the power to make your destiny, your future. The power is within you. Feel it, overcome it. Accept it.
Don't sit down. Rise. Rise above all that you were yesterday. Take that one step today and another tomorrow.
Dream big. But don't forget to work toward them. Reach out far, but don't fall off the edge. Don't search for a path, make one.
It's never too late. You still dream. You have hope and strength. You can find the strength. Search for yourself in the ocean of your heart.
You're blinded by the glitter and fooled by that smokescreen. And you're too busy looking at other people, being like them that you forget who you are.
Because when you're at the corner and life's beating you down, you're sweating, your ears are ringing and your head's pounding. That day you'll fall alone. They won't take your beating, they won't block the punches and they won't feel the blood rushing and burning your veins. You will.
The walls are pushing down on you and the gates are closing. Remind yourself of the power within. You push harder. Fight. Not for your parents, not for your friends, but for yourself. Ball up that fist and put everything you've got into achieving that one thing you've always dreamt of.
Because when you stand on top of that mountain or sit in that comfy chair or finally open that letter, you'll know you did it. And you didn't do it for anybody else but yourself.
And that day will be the best day of your life. That day, you and the world will know, that you rose. You did.
A pen, a paper,
A pensive time,
a restless moment.
The thoughts flow out.
Not like a fountain,
But a waterfall.
Emerging and crashing.
The mind clears,
the pen stops,
and the soul ponders.
Still and skeptic,
the poet reads,
that which he has produced.
And then the power.
The Power of Words,
surges within.
The greatest of all,
of Divine Worlds.

26 Golden Rules for Writing Well
1.Don't abbrev.
2.Check to see if you any words out.
3.Be carefully to use adjectives and adverbs correct.
4.About sentence fragments.
5.When dangling, don't use participles.
6.Don't use no double negatives.
7.Each pronoun…
"Sometimes things aren't exactly the way they seem."
How many times have you heard that? How many times have you read it in a book? Or heard repeatedly in a pop-song?
Because frankly, it's a pathetic attempt at optimistic poetry. Or maybe even pessimistic. Whatever. It doesn't matter. The point is, everything is exactly the way it seems at that moment. At least to you. And that's all that matters, right? What it seems to you.- Jasmine John
The sky is orange with a light pink hue,
My hair blows along the cool autumn breeze,
The red maple leaves rustle under my feet,
As I trudge along the path amongst the trees.
The scent of the woods pulls at my memories,
And I heard her in my head.
"Not too far, dear one. Stay close," she'd said,
As I ran about kicking up the leaves.
She tried to keep up, calling out occasionally,
And I strayed as far as I could.
Over the years, I'd strayed farther,
Away from home; and her.
She'd grown frail and wrinkled,
Too weak and tired to call me anymore.
I didn't worry much, I kept busy,
And then, she left, so silently.
I laid down a single white rose,
My cheek damp with dried tears.
And as I walked away to the woods,
My mind recalled those glorious years.
And now here I am,
Wishing I'd not wandered so far.
Wishing I'd been there close by,
And we'd not been so apart.
I wish I'd called out,
"Mother, I'm here, I'm home,"
But all I can do right now,
Is to wish a little more.
- Jasmine John
I was there again, once again,
the place I felt most at peace.
I am here again, once again,
to see the waves crash in the sea.
Early at dawn, walking down the beach,
the smooth waves play at my feet.
I look ahead, far across the ocean
as far as my eyes can reach.
It's silent as it can be,
and I stop to listen.
There's a whisper so quiet I hear,
as the foamy waves glisten.
I lay down on the warm sand,
and I let my thoughts wander.
My worries vanish and a smile is on my lips
as I play with the cerulean waves.
And I'm here again, once again,
the place I feel most at peace.
And I'll be here again, once again,
to see the waves crash in the sea.

Prepared by
the Audit and Evaluation Directorate
August 2010
1.1 Audit Objective
The objective of the audit was to determine whether the existing management framework enables the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to meet government requirements for the proactive disclosure of information related to finance and human resources.
1.2 Audit Opinion
In our opinion, the existing management framework for the proactive disclosure is well controlled.
1.3 Statement of Assurance
As Chief Audit Executive, I am of the opinion that sufficient and appropriate audit procedures have been conducted and evidence gathered to support the opinion contained in this report. This opinion is based on a comparison of the conditions as they existed at the time of the audit against previously established audit criteria approved by management. The opinion is applicable only to the entity examined.
1.4 Summary of Recommendations
Our audit demonstrated that the CSA has established a management framework which enables the organization to meet government requirements for proactive disclosure. A process is in place for each disclosure item and the CSA complies with the directives of the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) in this regard.
We found that detailed instructions and procedures have been developed to guide employees through the disclosure process. In addition, the identification of the transactions to be published, established using financial and human resources systems, provides further assurance of the accuracy of the information disclosed. Furthermore, data entry using software developed internally specifically for this task, facilitates the process and ensures its uniformity.
In addition, further to our review, we are recommending a few actions which would improve the existing management framework:
Update the available documentation on roles and responsibilities for the disclosure of grants and contributions;
Document tasks carried out for the disclosure of grants and contributions;
For each disclosure item, include a data verification process following quarterly publication;
Review disclosure procedures related to contracts so as to ensure that all contracts over $10,000 are published.

2.1 Background
The Government of Canada has implemented a series of measures to strengthen public sector management by enhancing transparency and oversight of public resources in the federal government.
One of these measures includes the proactive disclosure of financial- and human resources-related information by departments and agencies. When this information is readily available on departmental web sites, Canadians and Parliament ensures that Government and public sector officials are held accountable.
To this end, the government announced the mandatory publication on the Web sites of departments and agencies of:
information concerning travel and hospitality expenses for selected government officials
contracts entered into by the Government of Canada for amounts over $10,000, with only limited exceptions such as national security
the reclassification of positions, and
the awarding of grants and contributions over $25,000.
These measures were introduced between 2003 and 2005.
This audit engagement is part of the 2009-2010 annual audit plan approved by the Audit Committee on the basis of the assessment of risks at the CSA. The engagement was conducted during the fourth quarter of the 2009-2010 fiscal year.
2.2 Audit Objectives, Scope and Approach
The objective of the audit engagement was to determine whether the existing management framework enables the CSA to comply with government requirements related to the proactive disclosure of finance and human resources information.
The engagement dealt specifically with the CSA's proactive disclosure process. Transactions subject to proactive disclosure from April 1 to December 31, 2009, were included in the scope of the engagement. The audit involved a variety of audit procedures, including interviews with employees, reviews and document analysis.
The audit criteria were established on the basis of best management practices and the following guidelines and guidance documents issued by the TBS:
Guidelines on the Proactive Disclosure of Contracts.
Guidance Document: Proactive Disclosure of Travel and Hospitality Expenses.
Guidance Document: Proactive Disclosure of Grants and Contributions over $25,000.
Guidance Document: Disclosure of Position Reclassifications.
2.3 Findings, Recommendations and Management Response
2.3.1 A management framework for proactive disclosure is in place
In order to ensure compliance with TBS requirements related to proactive disclosure, the CSA must integrate into its environment a management framework to guide employees, in which we expected to find the following components:
specific roles and responsibilities;
instructions, procedures and practices;
delays and schedules;
internal controls to ensure that the information presented is accurate and complete.
Processus de divulgation proactive
Proactive disclosure of information on finance and human resources at the CSA is broken down into four separate processes, which fall under the responsibility of four different work units:
The Accounting, Financial Reporting and Policies group is responsible, with the Office of the President, for the disclosure process for travel and hospitality expenses;
Contract disclosure is the responsibility of the Procurement and Contract Administration group;
The Classification group is responsible for entering data related to reclassification;
The disclosure of grants and contributions is carried out by a number of sectors, each of which is responsible for disclosing its own agreements.
The Access to Information and Privacy Coordinator reviews some information in order to ensure compliance with policies. The Communications group ensures the grammatical quality of publications. Lastly, a software program has been developed internally by the Systems Development group to support the process.
An overview of the proactive disclosure process in the work units is shown below.
Roles and responsibilities
The managers in charge of the work units involved in proactive disclosure are responsible for the process. The employees under the direction are responsible for carrying out the tasks required in accordance with the existing disclosure process. The audit team met with these employees and reviewed the available documentation on proactive disclosure. We found that roles and responsibilities were well described when the process was implemented and that employees are well informed as to their respective roles.
Some individuals that we met during the audit mentioned the lack of a person responsible for proactive disclosure as a whole. Someone had been identified in the past to coordinate and supervise implementation of the process, but that person left the CSA and was not replaced. This situation could be problematic when a question is raised or there is an initiative to take charge of.. However, since the disclosure process is now well established and effective, we consider that the sharing of responsibility among the managers, as we see it today, is appropriate for meeting the objectives of proactive disclosure. This situation implies that each work unit is a specialist in its own area of activity and answers any questions raised.
The disclosure process for grants and contributions is different, in that it requires the participation of a number of sectors. We observed that the available documentation on the various individuals responsible was not up to date. It was difficult for the audit team to identify the individuals involved in this disclosure process.
Instructions, procedures and practices
We found that highly detailed instructions, procedures and practices related to proactive disclosure had been developed by most of the work units. Most operations have been computerized. The systems development group has been involved in developing software for the quarterly assembly of the data to be published. The work of the individuals involved in the process consists mainly in extracting data from the financial and human resources systems, identifying the data to be published and entering them in the proactive disclosure software.
We found that the documentation on the instructions and procedures to follow for the disclosure of grants and contributions could be improved. Procedures do exist and they are known to the people doing the work, but they are not always documented.
Delays and schedules
Internal Controls
The CSA has established controls to allow for compliance with TBS guidelines.
We identified the following controls:
Uniformity in data entry using internally developed software;
Identification of transactions to be published using the finance and human resources systems;
Automatic reminder system for schedules and steps to be completed;
Review of content related to privacy and protected information;
Approval process for the publication of grants and contributions;
Review of grammatical quality prior to publication of grants and contributions;
Separation of duties for the disclosure of travel and hospitality expenses.
However, we observed a situation where a data transfer error prevented the complete publication of information. The CSA's Web site posted an error message when certain information was consulted on line. This was observed by the audit team a few weeks after the publication date. This situation demonstrates the lack of regular control to detect deficiencies once quarterly publication has been completed.
2.3.2 The existing proactive disclosure process enables the CSA to meet TBS requirements
It is important that the CSA meet government proactive disclosure requirements so as to maintain an image of integrity and good governance. In this regard, it is expected that:
information is disclosed at the time it is required;
the presentation format meets requirements;
the information presented is complete.
We selected a sample of transactions for each disclosure item and compared it with the information published on the CSA's Web site during the 2009-2010 fiscal year. We found that the existing process enables the CSA to meet all requirements related to proactive disclosure.
This review demonstrated that the existing management framework is effective.
Disclosure of information at the time required
Requirements related to proactive disclosure include a very specific schedule with publication dates that must be met. The information is to be posted on the CSA's Web site 30 days after the end of the targeted reporting period for contracts, travel and hospitality expenses and reclassifications and 60 days for Grants and Contributions.
We found that delays and schedules were met for the publication of information related to proactive disclosure. In order to ensure compliance, a number of computerized reminders have been integrated into the process, using the disclosure software.
Presentation Format
The CSA must use a presentation format which meets the requirements related to proactive disclosure for each disclosure item.
The following is an overview of the required presentation format:
Hospitality: description of hospitality, date, number of persons, location, total amount.
The information presented is complete
The TBS defines the information which must be disclosed. With only a few exceptions, for security reasons, all information must be published. In order to determine whether the information presented is complete, we selected a sample of transactions to be published from among the four disclosure items. We then conducted a comparative analysis with the information posted on the CSA's Web site. All the transactions selected were among the transactions for the first three quarters of 2009-2010. The audit of contract disclosure required a review of additional transactions, some of which were drawn from the fourth quarter of 2009-2010. The size of the sample was established based on the auditor's judgment and was as follows:
|Total number of transactions for the period audited
|Number of transactions audited
|Percentage of error detected (%)
|Contracts over $10,000
|Position reclassifications
|Grants and contributions over $25,000
|President's travel and hospitality expenses
We found that the information presented was complete. Almost all the audited transactions were published as required by TBS guidelines and guidance documents on proactive disclosure.
We found that some transactions related to contracts had not been published. In all, 10 transactions out of a total of 628 had not been published. This is about 1.5% of all transactions audited.
The disclosure process for contracts will be reviewed to make sure that all contracts over $10,000 are published.
The report will be verified by contract officers prior to being officially posted.
We will now wait 2 weeks before the release date to generate the SAP report. This gives us the time to enter PWGSC contracts which we usually receive a few days after their actual issue date.
At the start of each quarter, we will revalidate the previous quarter to make sure that no contract which should have been included in SAP has been entered after the deadline.
When corrections are required, we will post the revised version for the quarter and indicate in the comments that it has been revised.

Getting ThereThe starting point for Miners Track is the Pen y Pass car park (SH 647 555) at the zenith of the Llanberis Pass, which can be reached easily by road on the A4086 that runs between Llanberis (SH 582 598) and Capel Curig (SH 719 580).
Owing to the popularity and sheer number of routes that start here the Pen y Pass car park often fills up quickly so if you want to park there a very early start is recommended. Luckily there are other options, the first of these is an excellent park and ride which runs regularly all day (including weekends and bank holidays) from Nant Perris (SH 607 582). The second option is the Snowdon Sherpa bus service which has various stops around the mountain and runs from Llanberis, Bettws y Coed, Caernarfon, Beddgelert, Bethesda, and Porthmadog. Be sure to check timetables first as you don't want to end up missing the last bus and find yourself stuck, of course in these situations hitching is always and option.
Route DescriptionThe Miners Track begins at Pen y Pass and starts by contouring around the southeastern slope of The Horns. It follows the contours westward to meet the northern shore of Llyn Teyrn where it continues in a southwesterly direction around a small ridge. About half a mile after Llyn Teyrn the route reaches Llyn Llydaw, and it is here that one of the most majestic views of Snowdon can be seen, together with a full view of the mighty cliffs of Y Lliwedd on the left and the brilliantly red Crib Goch on the right. From here the track crosses Llyn Llydaw via its famous causeway, built in the 19th century to aid the transference of men to and from the mines on the far side of the lake and at Glaslyn. The path then follows the lakes shoreline for half a mile passing a number of derelict mine buildings along the way. The most prominent pf these is the old crushing mill of the Britannia Copper Mine which in its day was one of the most advanced mills in the country and was worked by a water-wheel fed from Glaslyn high above. At the last complex of ruins the path bears right and becomes steeper, roughly following the main stream that flows out of Glaslyn. On reaching Glaslyn the gradient eases for a short while as it follows the lakes eastern shore to another set of ruined buildings where it bears right once more becoming much steeper. From here the path climbs around 400m up to Bwlch Glas joining the PYG Track after some 120m along the way. This section of the route zig-zags up the southern slope of Garnedd Ugain before levelling out at Bwlch Glas where it bears left and joins the Llanberis Path along the final stretch to Snowdon's summit.
Essential GearJust a good pair of boots, waterproofs and some lunch. If walking in winter make sure you also carry an ice axe and crampons.

MADISON (WKOW) -- The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is taking public comment on a plan to rebuild a portion of transmission line along a state trail.
Xcel Energy wants to rebuild eight miles of an transmission line between Jim Falls and Lake Wissota. Six miles of the line runs parallel with the Old Abe State Trial. The reconstruction project calls for taller poles about 15 feet closer to the trail.
The utility is negotiating with the DNR for an easement along the trail. Agency officials say they don't anticipate any significant adverse environmental effects.
The DNR will take written and email comments through February 12.

I'm watching BBC2's The Dark Charisma of Adolf Hitler and I shudder at the very thought that a man like that monster could have so enchanted a whole nation. What environment creates a mind-set that allows a people to welcome such evil? Could such a man ever find a place in the UK? I like to think not, but it is true that we have become disillusioned with our mainstream politicians and the political system, hence the low turnout at the ballot box.
We have two mainstream parties, Labour and the Conservatives, who may appear poles apart in ideology at the despatch box, but when in government are effectively interchangeable, the majority of the population still voting in accordance with family tradition and prejudice, rather than any expectation of real change. In fact too much change would probably frighten most of us.
The current Coalition is no more radical that the previous Labour or Conservative governments and is likely to implode leading up to the next General Election. If David Cameron or Ed Miliband reach out the hand of friendship to the Liberal Democrats next time round, it will be because of a great need for its support and with pinched nostrils to dispel the smell. Nick Clegg may be a balancing power for good in the current government, but the public cares little for the man or his party who are seen as selling their principled souls for chauffeured cars.
The Tories would like to win the next election outright, but are fearful that UKip, may spoil voting patterns in those marginal seats where Cameron and Miliband will be wrestling for each and every ballot paper.
So does that mean, as suggested, that Cameron's Conservatives will appeal to the anti-EU lobby by doing a deal with UKip, the party led by Nigel Farage, that nice and reasonable man, who isn't at all against foreigners entering the country, but just one at a time through a revolving door? At least I think that's what he means? I'm not sure to be honest.
Mr Farage does come across like a personable man, but isn't it a worry that a party on the fringe could end up with a disproportionate influence on the political process? UKip has softened its hard-edged image which, perhaps unfairly, once upon a time made me think of the BNP, but it remains fiercely anti-Europe and there's more than a sniff of the Little Englander surrounding the party. In fact, it reeks of a certain type of nationalism and, being a simple soul, that makes me nervous. But I do like Mr Farage.

Apologies if I made it sound like the sky was falling.
I merely meant to say that healers who spent their time brute forcing their way through instances by keeping one eye on the screen and one eye on hockey games (a la, me) won't be able to do that as much. You DO need to pay attention to stuff, and I don't mean in boss fights. Every trash pack needs to get crowd controlled. I wiped 5 times to the first set in Stonecore simply because the Mage, Hunter and Shaman refused to use their utilities and kept encouraging the tank to use his AoE abilities to hold threat on everything and relying on me to power burn my heals on him.
This doesn't work.
- Tank went down way too fast.
- Healer mana consumption was up way too fast.
- Threat was all over the place due to AoE attacks.
Bottom line: Healer gets blamed for being bad.
Again, this was simply one instance of it. It's not representative but it's an example of what COULD happen. At least for the opening month or two of the expansion, instances will be challenging. If its too hard, I expect a set of nerfs will arrive later on to tune it after the developers get a better idea of what to expect. The game is supposed to be a challenge. As long as players are doing what they need to be doing, no matter the class, then it will be easy to solve and gradually clear through the trash packs.
Probably going to sit back and watch the rest of the masses learn via trial and error ^^.
It's how I learned! =D Generally speaking though, I did Stonecore, Blackrock Caverns, Deadmines, and the something of Origination. Not once did any successful group AoE down any serious trash packs (like 4+ groups). I remember some of them had trash packs that had like 10 whelps and obviously those ones were AoE'd down and such. But from my experience as a Holy and a Disc priest, I was not able to completely brute force heal my way through encounters. The gear I had ranged from heroic dungeon blues to tier 11 epics.
Now, I can't say the experience is similar for a resto shaman or a paladin or a druid. If any of them are out there, I'd encourage them to speak up and either confirm/deny/murloc their experience through some of the heroic stuff.

I understand, and am glad you re-iterated what you said. I know your comments were not meant to scare anyone, and I know your post was not meant to any specific person.
I should've taken your comments about worry with a grain of salt and realized that your intent was to get people ready for the step up into the new Cata healing model. I am sorry for the overly dramatic display of fear and despair (it is delicious, and i am speaking for myself).
I am looking forward to the challenge, and I do think that with my guildies who know how to play, we'll be able to get through the dungeons with much more ease than LFD or PUG groups. I do not want Blizz to nerf or change anything. I want to experience the intensity. When I see our group fail, even when we all do our jobs right, that's when I'll protest. Until then, I will accept the trial.
Thank you for the article, and reply. May all healers be confident, and push groups into the final battle against Deathwing himself!
Well tell me how whould you even make that instance with 3 DK and a warrior tank ... trust me i have played on my Paladin healer and got that combo for ToC5 HC .. it was hell to heal..... And that got me thinking.
first off yes i can lock one down with hex but a DK lockdown isn't that great Chain of ice is well just a slow snare and with 4 melee well that snare is not looking good.....
anyway im just hoping that the normals isn't as horrific for the new beginers as the HC are... can you enter a normal Throne of Tides for example at lv80 with lv232+ gear and success fully heal the encounter?

Linux Journal Contents #185, September 2009
In a world of full of standards creating Cross Platform applications ought to be simple, right? Well the important word there is full: you can't walk down the street these days without tripping over somebody's standard. As always it's Open Source to the rescue. This month we highlight a few of the tools available for doing Cross Platform Development: Lazurus, Qt, and Titanium. We also have an interview with the developers of Google Chrome, the newest cross platform browser. Along with our features we have our usual spate of articles on Linux and Open Source: Shoulda (a favorite tool of Hillary Clinton), AppArmor, ImageMagick, Openfire, SocNetV, Linux-MiniDisc, Open Source Compliance, and in the slow but never ending evolution of our own Kyle Rankin, he gets one step closer to being a fan of Twitter by using tircd.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

This video, created by the online news/talk network The Young Turks, attempts to discuss the League of Legends World Championship and the developing eSports phenomenon.
While I am not particularly bothered by the various opinions of the commentators, I do find the segment questionable in terms of journalistic integrity. The clip begins with the commentators emphasizing their total lack of knowledge about the game or eSports in general, and then they proceed to offer a slew of opinions based on factual inaccuracies. They do not bring in an expert to discuss the topic at hand, in spite of devoting ten minutes to conversation, and failed in terms of even the most basic research. They appear confused as to even the platform on which League of Legends is played, which a reasonable human being might assume would be one of the most basic pieces of information necessary for a thoughtful conversation.
It's disheartening that even progressive, online news networks fail to make an attempt to give proper coverage of other emerging digital mediums, like eSports.
The only upside here is the rather hilarious paradox of people making fun of eSports as a shadow of professional sports while simultaneously serving as a shadow of professional journalists. Honestly, if you want to have a discussion bring in someone who can add depth to the topic instead of admitting ignorance and then passing off an ignorant conversation as a legitimate opinion.
