Firefighters are expecting a "pretty horrible" day for
bushfires on Saturday as more extreme weather hits NSW.
A total fire ban across the state has been extended for a
further 24 hours through Saturday, with temperatures
predicted to soar into the 40s again in many parts of NSW.
NSW Rural Fire Service said the hot forecast meant it would
be another tough day for firefighters, who on Friday night
were battling around 98 fires, of which 16 remained
"We are looking at some pretty horrible conditions tomorrow
across the southern part of the state but not all of the
state," an RFS spokesman told AAP.
"We've got a grip on most of these fires and are doing some
burning overnight to tie these fires in, but will be tested
by the wind and weather conditions tomorrow."
The spokesman said strong westerly winds heightened the
bushfire risk for Saturday.
He said the fires that would cause the most concern were the
Deans Gap fire in the Shoalhaven, the Cobbler Road fire near
Yass and the Yarrabin fire in the Cooma-Monaro region.
More than 230 firefighters were on Friday night working to
contain the Yarrabin fire, which has now burnt through more
than 9,800 hectares of bush and grass.
Firefighters were working to strengthen containment lines
around these fires before things heated up Saturday, the RFS
"We're doing that in the hope the fires stay in their box,"
the spokesman said.

Cloudy with a chance of toxics: How climate change is increasing our vulnerability to chemical pollution
This guest post is by Elizabeth Grossman, author of Chasing Molecules: Poisonous Products, Human Health, and the Promise of Green Chemistry and High Tech Trash: Digital Devices, Hidden Toxics, and Human Health, and other books. She writes about environmental and science issues for the Washington Post, Salon, Mother Jones, the Nation, Grist, and other publications from Portland, Oregon. One of the book's jacket quotes is from The great environmental writer and founder of 350.org, Bill McKibben: "There are enough environmental problems that seem insoluble. Elizabeth Grossman has given us this chronicle of a field with a bright future, the green chemistry that will replace the crude methods of the 19th century with the smart ones of the 21st. She tells us how it could happen. We should listen carefully!"
To melting ice caps, rising sea levels, acidifying oceans, and storm surges, add lung diseases and kidney stones to the expected effects of climate change. At a November 19 briefing in Washington, researchers from the Harvard Center for Health and the Global Environment, representatives of the American Medical Association and American Public Health Association detailed the likely negative health effects of global warming. These are conditions, reported Paul Epstein, Associate Director of the Harvard center, to which children, the elderly, and poor are especially vulnerable.
Rising temperatures, ozone and sulfur dioxide levels, along with particulate and other pollutants released by forest fires, will create conditions that are expected to increase rates of hospitalization for respiratory diseases, among them pneumonia, asthma, and chronic lung disease. Increased heat exposure, noted the researchers who've described these effects in a letter to President Obama, is also likely to increase the incidence of kidney stones.
But these are just some of the adverse health impacts associated with climate change.
In addition to the effects noted at the November 19 briefing – and those prompted by impacts of drought and altered insect patterns – rising temperatures are already triggering environmental conditions that have less visible but potentially profound health implications.
For traveling with global air and ocean currents are a soup of environmentally persistent synthetic chemicals whose behavior and effects are being exacerbated by climate change. Scientists tracking these chemicals around the globe are discovering that the movement of these long-lasting substances – manufactured materials that have no natural origin – is being accelerated by effects of rising temperatures. Researchers are also finding that global warming is increasing human and wildlife communities' vulnerability to these chemicals' biological impacts.
One of the places this is happening most dramatically is in the Arctic. Thanks to patterns of atmospheric circulation, whatever is released into air and oceans in the Northern Hemisphere, eventually moves north. This includes persistent pollutants.
After drifting north over months, years – and even decades – these chemicals typically become lodged in ice, snow, and permafrost. But as temperatures rise, these contaminants are being released as glaciers, polar sea ice, and permafrost melt. At the same time, climate change is prompting earlier Arctic springs, longer summers, and increased precipitation. More rain and snow and greater and faster snowmelt are causing erosion along polar riverbanks, lakes, and coastlines. Consequently, soil-bound contaminants are being washed into nearby water along with whatever pollutants arrive with the precipitation itself.
Further south, extreme storms like Hurricane Katrina can similarly release contaminants previously held in place by soil and send them into adjacent air and water. Some of these chemicals will later move into the atmosphere and back down to Earth again with moisture. Raining toxics sounds a bit extreme, but that's what it amounts to.
What makes these chemicals' behavior of even greater concern is that they are finding their way into our food, our bodies, and the innermost workings of living cells.
This is happening because many of these persistent synthetic chemicals are fat-soluble. In the Arctic – and in more temperate latitudes – these chemicals are accumulating in fat cells and thus climbing the food web. Arctic animals, particularly top predators like polar bears, with their large fat stores have among the highest levels recorded of some of these mobile persistent pollutants.
Meanwhile, seasonal climate changes are adding to these animals' vulnerability. As altered temperature patterns change timing and location of food sources, some animals in polar regions north and south must migrate farther to find food. The lengthened hunting trips increase the animals' stress levels and their reliance on stored body fat. Because fat cells serve as a reservoir for many contaminants, when fat is broken for energy, the toxics are also released, exposing the animals from within. There is concern that such toxics release is happening in people as well – concern underscored by the fact that a number of these chemicals appear to disrupt hormone activity with results that include adverse impacts on metabolism, including fat production.
There is no quick fix for these problems but it is worth noting that our reliance on fossil fuels has helped make petrochemicals the foundation for the overwhelming majority of our synthetic materials – manufactured substances that go into everything from computers to cosmetics. And petrochemicals have particularly problematic environmental and health impacts. To begin stem this tide, as we begin to shift away from fossil fuels and create new materials – alternatives to those with adverse environmental and health impacts – among the questions we must ask to help ensure new materials' safety must be: how a substance behaves biologically – its impact on living cells – and how it behaves physically, including its possible contribution to the impacts of climate change.
5 Responses to Cloudy with a chance of toxics: How climate change is increasing our vulnerability to chemical pollution
Thank you Ms. Grossman for an illuminating post and I look forward to reading your book.
I would love to see you turn your talents to investigating the equally devastating effects of pollutants on our terrestrial companions, the trees and other vegetative life, some of which are documented here: http://www.ace.mmu.ac.uk/Resources/Fact_Sheets/Key_Stage_4/Air_Pollution/15.html
Although the consequences of impacts on plant life don't appear to be as immediately dangerous threats to human health as cancer; however, we all do need to eat.
With the US Dept. of Agriculture declaring an agricultural state of emergency due to crop failure in the 2009 season in counties all over the country, I wish a qualified journalist would investigate why. It's not just the weather!
Hi all-
When I first heard the asthma/climate change connection, I thought it was BS. It seemed to me to be a minor problem, not that I knew that much about it.
But at the age of fifty-three, I have now developed asthmatic complications every time I get chest colds.
I don't know that my individual case is connected to climate change.
But these asthmatic symptoms are miserable, and really cut down on quality of life. And this sort of connection is just what we should expect from climate change, IMO. Like the bark beetle epidemic, it's the ecological spin-off effects from destabilizing ecological systems that we really have to fear, IMO, the so-called "unknown unknowns".
I don't know if these symptoms are connected to climate change or not, but I don't scoff at the climate change/asthma connection any more.
I am too busy trying to breathe to scoff, I guess.
Leland Palmer, I worked in a school for underprivileged kids in Newark, NJ and I can tell you that asthma is a terrible problem for students. They lose an enormous percentage of school days staying home because they just are too sick to come in to class, so on top of the other disadvantages such as poverty and one-parent homes, they can't breathe.
And speaking as the mother of a 24-year old who grew up out in the country, with a very healthy lifestyle but got cancer anyway I'd say yeah, there's something drifting around in the air that isn't exactly wholesome. Try getting an oncologist to speculate about the cause of cancer though – they couldn't care less. There's so much money in treatment – it's a real growth industry!
Chemical toxics have always been a serieus health problem for many people already and with the increasing pollution this is only getting worse. Which is a very bad consequence of climate change and another reason to fight against it!
For more info on the environment, have a look at this Green News.
I am an environmentalist. I am a chemist. I *loathe* the term "green chemistry". It bears some sort of conceit among its self-claimed practictioners that just bugs the heck out of me, and many other chemists.
Every chemist is a "green" chemist. There hasn't been a chemist in the history of mankind who thought "Hmmm, I can make my desired molecule from benign, readily available precursors using only water as the solvent and with high atom efficiency…or on the other hand, I can use a bunch of toxic chemicals and solvents, while using dozens of atoms to swap just two of them….I think I'll chose the latter!"
Being "green" is our job and always has been.

LONDON - The Church of England will consider selling shares it owns in companies believed to be profiting from work in Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories.
A resolution passed Monday by the General Synod - the national assembly and governing body of the church - will be examined by committees responsible for investing the church's more than 900-million-share portfolio.
Members voted after the church's Ethical Investment Advisory Group questioned holding stock worth $4.39 million in the U.S. Caterpillar company.

Williamsburg Business Owners Blame Weekend L Train Outages for Poor Sales
"We are a tourist mecca now."
Last weekend, the L train wasn't running. The whole weekend. It's happened more than ten times since July, and there are going to be more weekend-long outages coming. It's pretty damn annoying if to you happen to live on the line, but small business owners in the neighborhood say the lack of service puts their business model at risk, according to the Daily News.
"When I check my numbers, and I see a significant drop, that means the L train wasn't working," said Misha Anderson, co-founder of the Woodley & Bunny hair salon on N. 10th Street, four blocks north of the Bedford Aveune stop on the L.
"Don't they know how these cuts impact North Brooklyn?" she asked. "In February, no one will want to walk here from the (J and M) trains on Broadway."
Anderson said she loses about $20,000 in sales each time the train is shut down due to the weekend repairs. It's made her sympathetic to store owners along the proposed Second Avenue subway route on the Upper East Side.
Sympathy between the Upper East Side and Williamsburg isn't the only unlikely alliance to emerge from the Great L Train Drought of 2011. "We are a tourist mecca now," another shop owner told the paper. "And we can't get tourists when there are no trains." Worse than having tourists in the Williamsburg: not having tourists in the 'hood?
Or maybe this is just what neighborhood residents needed to hear to make peace with the outages. Lack of convenient transportation — so hip.

I swear to God I had this dream last night: It was very late at night, so I was walking holding hands with Julian Lennon (but he looked like John post-Beatles, not like Julian) in a park that used to be 6 blocks away from my house, (now there's a building from the local goverment) and then he kissed me, then I sent a text message to a friend about it, he got mad at me and walked away. I had to go back home walking at the middle of the dark night, and a mob of teen girls wanted to kidnap me and attack me with a knife. I threw the backpack I always take to school with my stuff to a backyard and started to run for my life.
I woke up in that very moment. It was truly frightening.

Ted Potter opened with an eagle on his way to firing a three-under par 67 Friday to share the lead with Brandt Snedeker after the second round of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Snedeker, a runner-up the past two weeks, and Potter stood on eight-under 134 after 36 holes at the $6.5 million US PGA event, which is played over three different northern California courses near the Pacific Ocean.
Potter, a 29-year-old American who won his first PGA title last year at the Greenbrier Classic, fired a five-under 67 on Thursday at par-72 Pebble Beach and then backed it up with a solid round Friday at the par-70 Monterrey Peninsula Shore course.
Starting on the back nine, Potter eagled the par-5 10th hole but took back-to-back bogeys at the 14th and 15th.
He answered with two sets of back-to-back birdies, the first brace at the second and third and the other at the par-5 sixth and par-3 seventh. He closed with a bogey at nine.
Snedeker opened with a 66 at the Shore on Thursday and followed with a bogey-free 4-under 68 on Friday at par-72 Spyglass Hill.
Also starting on the 10th tee, Snedeker birdied the par-3 12th and par-5 14th then added back-to-back birdies at the par-5 seventh and par-4 eighth.
A quartet of players were at 7-under. John Merrick posted a 67 at the Shore, where Hunger Mahan carded a 69.
Sweden's Fredrik Jacobsen got to 7-under with a superb six-under 66 at Pebble Beach. He teed off on 10 and his seven birdies included four in a row from 15-18. Patrick Reed posted a 69 at Pebble Beach that included three birdies without a bogey.

Yorktown, Virginia, October 17, 1781,
Mom, if I am writing this letter is to bring you great news. This morning while we were fighting against the British alongside the French and the Continental Army to resume Yorktown, a young men appeared. He carried our flag and announced us that Lord Cornwallis filed down arms.
So we cried ,cried for joy, cried because we are all proud to be here to defend our flag, our country! Mom , this is a great victory! She signs the certain defeat of the United Kingdom!
I hope to see you all soon, I embrace you.

Source: Nikon
quote: The D4 should at least 24 MP resolution.
quote: My guess is that they wanted the D4S to be able to crank up the ISO to keep its rapid-fire shot mode working in sub-par lighting conditions
quote: but if you need 10-15 FPS rapid shooting to score a keeper you are just a crappy photographer.
quote: No need to guess about what is explicitly understood about the product: High ISO and rapid-fire is EXACTLY what Nikon has aimed for with roughly half of its professional DSLR's.
quote: More nonsense. You don't know what you're talking about. Good photographers know what gear they need and how to best use it. Good photographers know the difference between sports/photojournalism and studio shoots. From this, Eric Martello, I can guess that you are not a very good judge of photography gear.
quote: You are not a good photographer, so you don't know what does or does not constitute "good, great or excellent" in terms of photography. You probably take pictures of cats and flowers with a camera you spent $10K on and think that makes you "pro"...meanwhile the guy with a $500 camera and talent outshines you by taking well-thought out photos that make people stop and look.
quote: Exactly what I was thinking when you said "it needs 50% pixel count increase, for some reason I can't articulate" along with "no need for 10+ fps capability."
quote: The logic you gave for the second 'point' suggests that a single shot camera is fine for people with any skill. But completely misses the market that the D4S (or Canon's 1Dx) targets.
quote: He disagrees with me about bumping the resolution to 24 MP but can't say why.
quote: So "professional" = "rapid fire" and that's how we know?
quote: Huh? It was in the very next paragraph: this is a camera built for speed. More pixels per image means more data to move, which means fewer pictures per unit of time. Learn to parse, eh?
quote: YES, you ignorant git, there is a huge demand in the professional world for very high shot-to-shot rates.
quote: I DESCRIBED THEM IN THE VERY NEXT PARAGRAPH, YOU STUPID BUTTF0CK: sports and photojournalists.
quote: The other emphasis is on absolute image quality, with speed a secondary concern: studio shoots, where conditions are better controlled. THIS HAS BEEN NIKON'S EXPLICIT PRO LINE-UP FOR OVER A DECADE.
quote: You do not know what you're talking about, nor can you read for fucking shit. If you can't retain information across two sentences I'm pretty sure that qualifies you as a shrub.
quote: with current technology there is no reason that going from 16 MP to 24 MP should pose any kind of bandwidth limitations.
quote: Except each picture now requires 50% more bandwidth.Yeah, there's no point in even trying with you. "More data doesn't take up more data." Christ, you're fucking stupid.
quote: OMG It has no built-in flash! And *GASP!* has no top-mounted LCD! It must be junk! What are those Nikon guys trying to foist off on us!
quote: It is a professional-level camera, not a enthusiast's toy. Yes indeed, photojournalists & sports photographers would give their eye teeth to be able to to shoot at 1--15 fps in low light and still maintain a level of quality that doesn't make their pictures look as grainy as a tile mosaic.

Caring for Family Promise guests
Three to four weeks each year St. Mark's Lutheran Church welcomes three homeless families, as a part of Family Promise of Jacksonville.

The people of St. Mark's prepare meals and provide additional take away food to go the Day Center at First United Methodist Church. Members serve as volunteers at the church, serving meals and eating with our guests, staying overnight at the church, and just hanging out with our guests.

text: Posted October 14, 2012 Regarding Cam vs Luck: it's far too early in either career to know who will be better. They BOTH have every single chance to be a superstar but we're not really gonna know yet. I've also made known before my dislike for comparing players on different teams with different systems one on one. The grass is greener and all that bullshit, I know, but we're not suffering through David Carr over here - we have a potentially long-time game breaking QB here. Don't be so fickle. About Cam himself? Yes we are lucky to have a player on our team with the ceiling / physical gifts he has at that position. He's having a down start to the year and he does have a lot of things to fix but we could be much worse off than we are. As fans it's our job to complain, what else are we going to do really, but don't lose sight of how much worse it could be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Publisher's Description
Homeschool Specialists' Review
There are hidden treasures in these books about our Christian ancestors. They tell tales that build our faith by revealing God at work in the lives of people who placed their trust in him! They are testimonies to how God will work through both ordinary and extraordinary people alike. They celebrate the type of courageous, dedicated, and godly heroes we want our children to admire.
Little pieces of the stories bring back the fondest memories of our homeschool days. I found these books personally faith-building, and I know they have helped shape my children's faith as well. Approx. 200 pages each, softcovers from YWAM.

BBVA's revenues rise in all geographic regions and exceed €22 billion in 2012
BBVA earned €1.68 billion in 2012, down 44.2% compared to the previous year, after completing all real estate related provisions in Spain. Excluding such charges and the badwill generated by Unnim's incorporation, the adjusted profit was €4.41 billion (down 2.2% year-over-year). All the Group's business areas contributed to income growth in 2012.
BBVA Chairman and CEO Francisco González said, "I believe these results confirm BBVA's strength, generated by its diversification and business model in a very complex year. We overcame the difficulties and presented positive results quarter after quarter."
Net interest income continued its upward trend, rising 15.0% to €15.12 billion; gross income increased 12.1% to €22.44 billion while operating income rose 13.3% to €11.66 billion.
These results place BBVA in a leading position in terms of year over year growth and profitability. Emerging markets, with their considerable potential for economic expansion and growth in banking services, continue to provide most of the business areas' gross income (56%).
Costs are still growing slower than income and the increases are mainly confined to important investments in expansion plans for emerging markets. Costs in developed countries remain contained. As a result of the sharp growth in income and appropriate cost management BBVA continues to be a leading bank in terms of efficiency. Consequently recurring operating income –excluding NTI and dividends– is rising fast (up 15.2% to €9.50 billion).
In a particularly complicated year BBVA had no trouble providing all the necessary loan-loss and real-estate provisions.
Risk indicators are in line with expectations. The BBVA Group's non-performing asset ratio was 5.1%, which was less than average for its competitors (6%), and the coverage ratio rose 11 percentage points during the year to 72%.
In terms of solvency BBVA demonstrated its solid position and ability to improve its capital ratios. The core capital ratio according to Basel II criteria improved from 10.3% to 10.8%. Moreover the Group met all the supervisors' recommendations without selling strategic assets.
Although the environment remained complex BBVA was able to manage the balance sheet in an exceptional manner, improving the liquidity gap by €23 billion. It issued some €14 billion in debt and it was the first to tap the capital markets in 2013.
A review of the individual business areas shows that BBVA's unit in Spain gained market share in lending and deposits, and improved its customer spread. Net interest income rose 10.1% to €4.84 billion and gross income increased 7.2% to €6.78 billion. Cost constraints strengthened operating income, which grew 12.0% year-over-year to €3.97 billion, and improved efficiency. Furthermore non-performing assets in Spain (6.9%) outperformed the financial sector average and coverage increased to 67%. The net attributable result in the area was negative (€ -1.27 billion) after absorbing provisions related to impairment of real estate assets. Excluding these provisions, Spain's net attributable profit was €1.21 billion.
In Eurasia net interest income came to €847 million (up 5.5%) and its contribution to the Group's gross income continued to grow (up 12.7% to €2.21 billion) thanks to Garanti (Turkey) and CNCB (China). The area earned €950 million in 2012.
The Group's franchise in Mexico is the leading bank in that country and it reported a solid performance in business activity as well as revenues. Lending grew 6.7% at constant exchange rates and customer funds increased 4.8%. Net interest income was up 7.8% (at constant rates) to €4.16 billion and gross income rose 5.8% to €5.76 billion. Risk indicators remained stable (the non-performing asset ratio stood at 3.8% and the coverage ratio at 114%). Net attributable profit came to €1.82 billion, an increase of 4% in constant euros.
The buoyant business activity in South America was once again reflected by the area's earnings. Lending increased 17.7% in constant euros and customer funds on the balance sheet rose 23%. In fact all margins increased by more than 20% in constant euros. Net interest income came to €4.29 billion (up 25.6%), gross income was €5.36 billion (up 21.6%) and operating income was €3.04 billion (up 26.8%). These advances were accompanied by improvements in efficiency and risk control. This area's net attributable profit came to €1.35 billion, an increase of 23.6% at constant exchange rates.
BBVA Compass reflected a selective increase in its loan portfolio (up 7.2%). Customer deposits also increased (up 12.9%). The franchise in the U. S., which includes BBVA Compass and BBVA's office in New York, reported good levels of credit quality with a non-performing asset ratio of 2.4% and a coverage ratio of 90%. The area focused on controlling costs, on its technology platform and on maintaining a solid liquidity position. Net interest income came to €1.68 billion (up 2.8% at current exchange rates, down 4.7% at constant rates) and gross income was €2.40 billion (up 3.1% at current exchange rates, down 4.2% at constant rates). Net attributable profit came to €475 million.
The wholesale and investment banking activities, CIB, reported a similar profit to the previous year, namely, €1.05 billion (down 0.1% at constant rates). It was aided by its solid customer franchise and balanced diversification across geographic regions. Gross lending declined 16.2% owing to deleveraging in developed countries and CIB's strategy of selective growth limited to certain customers and portfolios.

I also like the Engrave Pro theme, but find there is no way to modify the mobile menu. Nothing in Custom styling, which seems odd. So, I installed WP_responsive_Menu to replace it and now would like to disable the theme's default mobile menu. Anyone know how to do that? thank you
I've used this theme twice so far and it works well with all of my favorite plugins. The stylesheets are so well organized that you can push the Lite version very far. I like this theme so much that I'll most likely purchase the Pro version next time for clients needing more backend functionality. Great job!
I have been using this theme in my personal multilungual page and I'm quite happy to the result.
Its responsive that is great and it very helpful on handheld disositives but it lacks a bit of multilingual support. Titles as "Category Archive" doesnt' get translated automaticaly.
Also the submenu (under the main header) in phone size is hidden (if you use also the social media links).
Also in phone size the navigation is seen as a rolled menu (great) but again it's not translated: Navigation. It's a petty.
In the end is a very good theme that lacks international support. Sometimes is a bit confusing at the beggining but it's worth to try and use.
I have tried several wp themes, but engrave-lite beats them all. full-width, easily customizable slider,totally responsive. I can recommend to anyone who wants to build quality websites.
The lite version didn't satisify my client's needs. So I went pro and can recommend going pro. If you don't need features like hiding meta information and you aim for a straight blog, this theme should be a good start for being free.
Thanks for providing this great theme, very clean and organized. I used it for my site http://www.parvusconnect.com and absolutely love it! There were very few things I wanted to change but nothing required more than a tidbit of CSS and PHP.
Great theme, thanks!
I've tried literally hundreds of themes over the past few years for different projects and after checking how they render on every type of mobile and smart device I found this theme beats them all.
If you are using a responsive theme try downloading this one and see how it renders on all types of mobile and smart devices with and without its responsive feature activated. You'll be amazed at how good it looks without its responsive feature activated.
It also looks great with its responsive feature activated but I've found its works best for most of my projects without its responsive feature turned on.
This template is so versatile it can easily be adapted to virtually any imaginable project. It is the only template I use now.
I personally found their theme awesome, with feature rich even for a free version and endless possibilities.
I would appreciate if we have more themes from the creators of Engrave theme
I am using their theme in most of client sites. and the clients found them smart, elegant and awesome.
Update and revision of my first review.
The first time I used this amazing template there was some type of conflict or problem using Internet Explorer that caused some of the functionality to not work (footer widgets and sidebar). I assumed it was the theme (my bad). I later found it had nothing to do with the theme. I then tried modifying it with Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari and it worked like a champ. It renders great on all browsers, I just had trouble modifying it with IE (I should have known it was IE).
After figuring out what the problem was I reinstalled the theme and everything worked flawlessly. It absolutely is one of the best-looking and well-designed themes (free or paid) I've ever used. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a clean, professional, and user-friendly theme.

Chimney Sweepers and Chimneys Regulation Act 1840
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chimney Sweepers and Chimneys Regulation Act 1840 was a British Act of Parliament passed to try to stop child labour. Many boys as young as six were being used as chimney sweeps. One of many chimney sweeps such as Newport, IOW's Valentine Grey, a 10-year-old, who was murdered by his Master Benjamin Davis, because he hadn't cleaned a chimney properly, forced the passing of the "Climbing Boys Act"
This act prohibited any person under 21 being compelled or knowingly allowed to ascend or descend a chimney or flue for sweeping, cleaning or coring.[1]

Palaui Island
Location within Cagayan province
|Babuyan Channel

Palaui Island is one of the islands in the Philippines, located off the northeastern extremity of Luzon Island, the largest island in the country.
Palaui Island lies off the northwestern part of a large promontory in San Vicente, in the municipality of Santa Ana, Cagayan province. It is 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) at its longest and about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) at its widest and moderately high. The western shore of the island appears bold, but on the eastern side, a reef projects from its side for 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi), the edge of it being 0.8 kilometres (0.50 mi) from and extending around the small islet of Escucha, east of Palaui. The Dos Hermanos rocky islets lie off Cape Engaño, in the northern point of Palaui, and there are some rocks off the northeast point of the island, about 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) eastward of the cape. Gran Laja island, a low rock islet surrounded by breakers, is one of the rocks located northeast off Palaui.[1][2]
At the southwest end of Palaui Island is Puerto Point, a high, wooded bluff. East of the point and south of Palaui is Rona Island, a low, wooded island with a white base of sand and rocks. Escucha Island is a high and wooded islet east of Palaui, and beyond Rona Island when seen from southwestward through the channel between Palaui Island and the mainland, where a few more islets are located.[1]
Flora and Fauna[edit]
Palaui Island was declared as a National Marine Reserve in August 28, 1994 encompassing an area of 7,145 hectares (17,660 acres).[3] The waters around the island boast of 21 commercial species of fishes with about 50 hectares (120 acres) of undisturbed corals.
Because of its remoteness, Palaui Island is home to 105 species of rattan and similar commercially valuable timber producing wood species plus 25 imported shrubs and is the sanctuary for 90 migratory birds.[4]
Places to go[edit]
The northern point of the island is called Cape Engaño where on the summit of the hill lie the ruins of Cape Engaño Lighthouse. Engaño Cove[5] is a small cove southwest of the lighthouse where supplies for the station were previously landed. Today, small vessels can find good anchorage in this protected cove, except by northwesterly and westerly winds. A trail and a 229-step concrete stairway from the cove leads the travelers to the lighthouse.[6]
The Port of San Vicente in Santa Ana, Cagayan, situated between Palaui Island and the coast of Luzon, is the jump-off point for crossing the channel to Punta Verde (Point Verde) on Palaui Island, or heading to Engaño Cove, a little further to the north. The hike from Punta Verde, the southeast tip of Palaui, to Cape Engaño takes about 3.5 to 4 hours of hike through beautiful verdant scenery. Primitive camping is allowed at the lighthouse vicinity.[7]
In 2013, it was used as the filming location for Survivor: Blood vs. Water and Survivor: Cagayan. On May 2013, Palaui Island earned the 10th spot in the CNN's World's 100 Best Beaches list, with CNN praising its "raw beauty."[8]

on every button click I apply a filter on an image. I want to update the image thumbnail and fancybox image too whenever the filter has been applied.
I'm trying to achieve this with jquery $.ajax
My current method works. But only for the very first click. For every additional click, the filter will apply but both the thumbnail and the fancybox image won't update until I refresh the browser.
(#image+rowid is my thumbnail and #fancy+rowid is my fancybox image)
Code:function filterBrigthness(fname,rowid,directory) { $.ajax({ url: "updatefile.php", data: {"filename":fname,"directory":directory,"action":"brightness"}, type: 'post', success: function(output) { $("#image"+rowid).attr("src", directory+"/"+fname); $("#fancy"+rowid).attr("href", directory+"/"+fname); } }); }I was first thinking cache was the issue, but post should not rely on cache anyway no? :/Code:<?php $filename = $_POST['filename']; $path = $_POST['directory']; $action = $_POST['action']; if(file_exists($path."/".$filename)) { $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($path."/".$filename) or imagecreatefrompng($path."/".$filename) or imagecreatefromgif($path."/".$filename); if($action == "brightness") { if ($im && imagefilter($im, IMG_FILTER_BRIGHTNESS, 40)) { imagejpeg($im, $path."/".$filename); } else { echo 'Image brightness change failed.'; } imagedestroy($im); }
any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

I personally do not recommend Marc Shrfman to represent you in any case. This is by far the worst attorney that I've ever had in my entire life. He does not return phone calls, he has a condescending attitude, very arrogant, snotty, and just overall evil. I agree with one of the clients here in stating that he points the finger at you when he screws up. Words literally cannot describe how bad this guy is my only advice is to not let him represent you in any way shape, form, or fashion.
Posted by a client
I hired Marc Shefman back at the beginning of the decade and he did nothing but neglect my case and treat me like a low class piece of garbage. When I first hired him, he assured me that much case would be taken care of and that I shouldn't worry. He dropped the ball immediately and didn't actually get everything going with the courts until three years later. This caused me to lose out on almost two years of any justice on my case. When he finally was more or less forced to give my case the attention it deserved, he fumbled around and didn't stand up for me or advocate at all. It was like I was dealing with my case alone 99% of the time. Marc is negligent, uncaring, heartless, and lacks decency, and any good work ethic.
Posted by a Animal Law client
Ive met this man one time. Very soon, my case will be too old for me to get justice. He NEEEEVVVEEERRR returns calls and he is NEEVVVVVEEERRR available. I have no idea about whats going on in my case and i have been calling him all year. Im praying to find a lawyer who cares. My case is a small case but it still needs to be handled. I will never deal with or recommend Marc again.
Posted by Carol
I was very happy with the service of Marc Shefman. He was on top of my case every step of the way. He kept me informed on what to expect and always called me back. I was happy with his staff as well. I would recommend him to anyone that needed legal help. I also gave his number to a friend that got a speeding ticket and even though he really doesn't handle these type of cases it was an easy case he helped my friend for a very reasonable fee. My friend was very happy too! Need more attorneys like Marc around!
Posted by a Social Security client
this guy marc shefman is horrible. I would not allow my worst enemy to be represented by this dude. marc was my lawyer about 2 years ago and dude is wet behind the ears. he acts like he can't take 5 minutes to call me back and he gives off a arrogant vibe. I don't like his style and wouldn't reccomend him to ANYONE!
Posted by a Social Security client
While Mr. Shefman did return most of my phone calls, my experience with him is that he is overly self-confident, and often appear to be arrogant. Mr. Shefman expected me to drop everything and do what he wanted. I don't see how he got as much as he did when I did most of the leg work. All I wanted was common courtesy from Mr. Shefman and not feel inferior and treated like I was asking for a handout. Mr. Shefman also had a bad habit of blaming me for his mistakes, next time I will take my time and not go to the first attorney I see advertised.
Posted by a Insurance client
No client should have to deal with a lawyer who is a pushover, or a lawyer who waits for the last minute to start looking at your file. I wanted Marc to be motivated and unafraid to fight but I was disappointed at his performance, causing me to receive a low ball settlement. Marc is not what I expected, totally sloppy handling and uncaring. I wish I could have gotten a better lawyer but I didn't know any better.
Posted by a Social Security client
He seems to never be in the office. It takes him over 48 hours to return a phone call or email. And it takes him days to get a letter out to the appropriate people for my case. I'm having to take a number when he will get so much in the end. I suffered some soft tissue injury in my back causing me to be off work for a couple of months, I feel as though I'm stuck with him now. He is causing me so much stress! This should be the one person I can count on but I can't.
Posted by JAY
I suffered some bad injuries so I went to Mr. Shefman. I was not told by Mr. Shefman that the waiting time would be FINANCIALLY DEVASTATING for me and my family. From the beginning Mr. Shefman was evasive with me about the direction of my case, he wouldn't return my phone calls. This law office did not have my best interest and has failed to communicate with me. Getting information about how the lawsuit claims process works was like pulling teeth with Mr. Shefman. Mr. Shefman is rude, arrogant and seemingly either overworked or incompetent.
Posted by a Social Security client
I strongly suggest avoiding Marc Shefman at all cost, getting your award letter is not everything. I personally had a bad experience from the office of Mr. Shefman and walked away feeling mistreated. From the time of my office consultation something told me not to hire Mr. Shefman as my social security disability attorney but I didn't listen to myself. He treated me as if I was a number and had no concern for what I was feeling, it was like my case was routine for him and I was just another poor soul applying for disability. Mr. Shefman doesn't seem to be experienced in litigation or being personable with clients. I feel like my file was neglected because I would have to constantly remind Mr. Shefman of simple things I had already told him. Maybe in a few years he will learn to drop the I know it all attitude, until that time I suggest going to someone more compassionate and experienced.

I was surprised when our niece, Linda Norman, asked when I was going "Out to Lunch" at Copeland's. I had to ask where it was, because I'd never heard of it.
Linda lives on River Road and is a dental hygienist in Rockwood. I've always had a problem talking when someone was cleaning my teeth, but evidently her patient mentioned the new Kingston restaurant after a treatment.
Copeland's is on Martin Street across from Piggly Wiggly in the former Pizza Hut location.
--The 24th annual Hooray for Harriman Labor Day celebration will go on rain or shine Monday, Sept. 5.
The Rockwood Tigers got "rammed" Friday night by the Grace Christian Academy Rams in a 28-0 loss.
"We played a really good team tonight," said Rockwood head coach John Webb. "We got some experience for in the future when good teams like this. We just gave up too many big plays tonight."
Grace Christian got on the board first Friday with a 10-play, 91-yard drive capped off with a 23-yard Will McKamey touchdown run.
Jonathan Griffith hit the PAT for the Rams to make the score 7-0 with 5:13 left in the first quarter.

Midway hosted Pickett County Friday night in what appeared to be a great chance for the Green Wave to end their 13-game losing streak.
Both teams did not win at all last year, but a strong showing in last week's contest led many Midway fans to feel confident heading into the contest.
This confidence was obviously deserved, as the Green Wave absolutely destroyed Pickett County by a final score of 52-6.
The Kingston Yellow Jackets picked up their third win in as many tries Friday night as Vic King's squad traveled to Huntsville and knocked off the Scott Highlanders, 27-7, in the first District 4-AA contest of the season for both teams.
Like was the case in last week's victory over Harriman, Kingston's ground game was the key to victory as the Jackets rolled up 324 yards rushing on 40 attempts.
After opening the season with a pair of disappointing losses, the Oliver Springs Bobcats picked up their first victory of the season Friday night with a 37-0 victory at Oakdale.
"It's a good feeling anytime you can get a win," Oliver Springs head coach Wiley Brackett said after the game. "We're still not playing to our potential, but we did some good things tonight. We did have too many penalties tonight and that's something we've got to get better at. We had a lot of big plays called back because of penalties."
A man who lost his family in a fiery crash was taken to a hospital on Wednesday.
Stephanie Brown and her three children were killed in the wreck on Hwy. 61 on Tuesday.
Josh Brown was an inmate at the Roane County Jail. Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton said he was given a furlough because of the tragedy involving his wife and children.
"It's (a furlough) not uncommon for something like that," the sheriff said.
A mother and her three children died in a fiery crash on Tuesday.
The accident happened on Hwy. 61 a little after 6 p.m.
"It was a bad scene," Tennessee Highway Patrol Sgt. Bobby Clevenger said.
Clevenger investigated the crash for the THP. According to his report, Stephanie N. Brown was traveling west when her SUV crossed the center line and struck a tractor trailer head-on. Both vehicles caught on fire.
Last Saturday, I spent the morning in my kayak at the Kingston waterfront, dutifully watching as swimmers churned through the water in the city's first triathlon.
Excitement was in the air as people cheered from the shore and other volunteer kayakers and a Jet Ski operator made sure all were safe.
On Sunday morning, I was back in the kayak and on the water again — this time a couple of hours away.

Alfred F. Young died last November at age 87 in Durham, North Carolina, after debilitating heart attacks, with his wife of sixty years and three daughters at his bedside. Known throughout the nation and abroad as "the godfather of artisans studies," he was at his workbench until the very end. Friend of hundreds and mentor of scores, he was one of the few early American historians who challenged the consensus school of American history in the Cold War period and lived to see his history of class struggle and class-based politics widely acknowledged and honored.

"Ugarit" Top 5 Page for this destination Latakia Things to Do Tip by iwys
Latakia Things to Do: 39 reviews and 76 photos
Ugarit, known in Arabic as Ras Shamra, is one of the most underrated archaeological sites in the Middle East. It was the first port city in the history of the world. There was a town here as far back as 8,000 years ago and it was the most important city on the Mediterranean more than 2,500 years before the birth of Christ, and during its peak, from 2000 to 1.500 BC, it became wealthy from its trade with the Egyptians and the Minoans and was at that time the most developed city in the western world, with a great royal palace, temples, a piped water system and libraries which utilised one of the world's first alphabets.
In 1200 BC, however, it was destroyed by the invading Philistines. The site lay forgotten until a local farmer discovered an old tomb here in 1928. The site was then excavated by a team of French archaeologists led by Claude Shaeffer.
The site itself sprawls over a large area, about half of which is still overgrown. There are pathways which will take you all around the site and signposts in English describing the main buildings. I found it fascinating.
Opening hours: 08.30-18.30 (summer); 08.30-16.30 (winter)
Admission: S�150
Directions: About 15km north of Lattakia on the coastal road.

BUFORD, Ga. (AP) - Construction on a new ballpark in Gwinnett County for the minor-league Braves is about 70 percent complete. A recession forcing county job cuts hasn't slowed plans for the stadium. Neither has the price tag.
The original price tag of $40 million now stands at $64 million. So far, county commissioners have committed $31 million in taxpayer money for the project.
The project's chief proponent, County Commissioner Bert Nasuti, says the board of commissioners still supports the stadium.
It's too late to back out of the financing for the ballpark. The county's development authority issued $33 million in bonds for it last year.
County Attorney Karen Thomas says Gwinnett is legally required to spend the proceeds from those bonds on the stadium.
Gwinnett's stadium debt will total more than $77 million over 30 years.

While testing, some time write operation is going through 1 gigabit port. The NetGear switch is smart enough to route the traffic to the fastest connection (i.e. from 10 gigabit port). This thing is happening on random. Sometimes write operation is going through 1 gigabit port and sometime its going through 10 gigabit port.

Valley exclusive: Interview with man who discovered lost Challenger photos
History can sometimes be found in the most unlikely of places: Treasure maps, relics from the Medieval period, one-of-a-kind first editions or even Rembrandts have been found tucked away in attics or old boxes forgotten in storage units.
The latest piece of history to have been discovered took only hours to spread internationally Tuesday night, and just days before the historic event's 28th anniversary.
Last week, 36-year-old Michael Hindes' grandmother passed away, and while looking through old boxes for photographs to display at her memorial, the West Springfield, Mass. man tells KTAR he found another set of photos he never expected.

Dying With Dignity
Posted on Mar 6, 2010
After being passed in 2008 by almost 60 percent of voters, Washington's "Death With Dignity" program allows citizens of the state to petition for their own doctor-assisted suicide. In the first 10 months since the law took effect, 36 terminally ill people have taken their own lives.
The Washington law is based on Oregon's assisted-suicide program, instituted in 1997. —JCL

Wait…all the talk of 'death panels' within the past year, and mine, 3//6/10, is the first comment? Repuglicans like shiny things…

So, Oregon has had this for years with no issues. The only people that have problems tend to be religious nuts who want to tell people how they can die—personally if you don't want this option, don't use it.
They survey the folks who do this in Oregon every year—less then half the people who ask for the pills use them, most of the folks who got the pills and didn't use them said it made the end easier knowing it was in their personal control.
Almost all the people who ask for this option are white, college educated and facing a painful early death by cancer—a pain so bad drugs will not help.
