Pakistan is among the most important nations in west Asia that is engaged in fighting against radical Muslim terrorism, but in so doing, it has left itself open to serious internal divisions. In the rugged tribal areas of the northwest, thousands of Pakistani soldiers are fighting the Taliban, al-Qaeda, tribal groups, and elements of the Taliban. A new US Intelligence study estimates Pakistan is over-extending its economic and military strength in this war. According to a letter signed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, "Pakistan is going through the worse crisis of its history" and the crisis is moving the nation toward "anarchy" if it continues on this path.
The energy crisis is increasing due to rise in fuel costs, billions of dollars are fleeing the nation, and political divisions increasingly make it difficult to have a united front in dealing with the host of problems impacting the nation.
Many Pakistanis blame America for exerting pressure on Pakistan to fight against terrorism despite the economic, social, and political strain such warfare causes the country. Many Pakistani officials want to cooperate with American demands, but their military might not be able to implement the goal of victory. What then?

Hi guys,
I'm just doing a 120 hour TEFL course at the moment, and pending a pass (!) I am looking to find a job in either Hong Kong or Barcelona. Can't decide which!
If you have taught there or are teaching in either place at the moment, I'd be keen to hear your experiences and advice on what it's like. I'm 27 from the UK, if that makes any difference at all?!
Thanks a lot!

She look to have german lines as tend be leggy and she looks like she's long in the leg either way beautiful glad you got her out that situation
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
|She's so well tempered. We thought we were going to have to teach her to get out of bad habits, but she's the best. Takes treats from my lips, gives kisses, amd when you ask "are you my baby?" She licks your face i love my little girl.
|Good looking girl! Congratulations on rescuing Jenny
Jenny-My GSD Puppy
*sorry for the length, I didn't realize it was this long*
Hello all, this is in stories because it's about when I got her and how I've been a better home than owner #1..
When we first saw her she was so small for only 7 weeks old and her ears were all floppy. She had that puppy face that just made you melt in your shoes. Owner #1 told us we could have her for $550 but anyone else he'd make a bogus price. His two year old son would pull Jenny's ears and grab her extra skin and just squeeze until she squealed. So, we went and picked her up, gave the guy $160 and he said it was fine and to just get her out of there.
We brought her home and immediately checked for fleas, cuts/scratches or infections anywhere because she lived outside her whole life with no bath. She had nothing, so we bathed her and dried her off then weighed her; she was 10lbs exactly. Now, for 7 weeks we thought that was kind of small, and it didn't help that she would devour food like she was never fed. When the vet saw her for her first shots he said she was healthy and just needed a bit of weight.
I like to think we saved her, because she has a better life now than she would have.
A little about Jenny..
Well, she was nameless for about a week. Nothing stuck. So we thought of it and she looked when we said it, so her name was Jenny. She was mostly black when we got her, minimal red markings and big floppy ears. As she started growing, we noticed more red coming in and she's getting a white stripe from shoulder to shoulder and white flecks of hair on her back.
Her temperment is pretty awesome for a puppy. She isn't super hyper, she doesn't chew neuratically and she's very smart. It's easy to teach her tricks and she listens very well.
The only thing that's bugging me is not knowing what lines shes from.. her back is arched a bit, but she's not full grown either.
Here's a picture of her, you can't see the white stripe from shoulder to shoulder or white flecks, but it's the best one I have right now. She likes to lick the camera instead of getting her picture taken.

text: App Watch: iOS apps that are minimal, slo-mo, vintage and bespoke By Charlie Sorrel • 6:00 am, August 19, 2014 News FULLSCREEN App Watch: Aug. 18, 2014 Movies, writing and photos. If you like any of these things, then you're going to love this week's App Watch. We have apps for slo-mo, retro, Drobo and to help you find that lost photo. Slow Fast Slow Studio Neat's Slow Fast Slow is an iPhone video app that lets you shoot and edit short clips, then dicker with their speed. Record at up to 120 frames per second (when using an iPhone 5s) or 60 fps (everything else), then manipulate the playback speed by dragging the timeline (a literal line at the bottom of the screen) up and down, left and right. It also has pitch control (keeps the sound normal even as the picture changes) and can flip video and play it backward. As slick as you'd expect from Studio Neat, and just $2. Prolost Bespoke Vintage Presets Prolost will whip you up your own set of vintage, retro-style photo-editing presets for Lightroom. It's kind of a better version of Prolost's own Plastic Bullet iOS app, where you can just keep tapping a button and cycle through almost infinite variations of filters. Only instead of infinite options, you set up 300 presets, specially generated for you when you order. I use the Prolost LR presets already, and find them excellent, so these should be worth a try. From $40 Draft Control Draft Control will track changes for any app you write in. Run it alongside your text editor or word processor of choice and it saves versions and tracks changes. You can compare any two versions with a visual editor, and you can find them in a constantly updated timeline at the side of the main window. It's free to try, and you can unlock it for just $20. Lost Photos MacPhun's Lost Photos does one thing: It connects to your email and dredges up all the photos that have slipped down the back of the virtual sofa. You probably have zillions of old, forgotten pictures in your Gmail or wherever, and Lost Photos will find them and show them to you, then let you share them straight from the app, via Twitter, Facebook or – in a fit of recursion – email. Free to try, $3 for unlimited photos. Taxonomy Taxonomy makes moving files easy. The window has source folders on the left, target folders on the right and a giant file preview in the middle. Zip through your files and simply click a target folder to send files there. It's great for wrangling a whole lot of files, sending them off to different places or doing routine filing operations. Get it on the Mac App Store for just $5. Drobo Time Machine Poof! With the wave of its software-update-generating wand, Drobo has added Time Machine support to its redundant multi-disk storage devices. Now you can specify how much of your storage you want to be given over to Time Machine, and your Drobo will make only that much available for your Mac's incremental backups. Normally, Time Machine would totally take over the disk like a cancer, growing until it was completely full. The update is free. Advertisment EditReady EditReady claims to be the fastest video transcoder, like, ever. It will crunch your video into a different format in around half the time of rivals, and it does it with an ultrasimple, minimal interface. This interface belies the software's power, though, as you can do anything from editing a clip's metadata to picking one of many pro-level destination formats, right from EditReady's main window. How much for this fast pro tool? Just $50. Folia Folia is an impressive collaboration app from the folks behind the iAnnotate PDF app. It comes on iOS, Mac, Windows and Android, and it's a streamlined word processor that lets you mark up and annotate your documents. Better, these annotations live in the cloud, separate from but married to the document, so they persist even as you update the source files. You can also attach more documents to any section of your master file. To be honest, I can't quite understand it yet, but it looks rad, and costs nothing. Overcast weather Overcast (no, not that Overcast) is a beautiful B&W weather app for the iPhone. If you were to write the weather forecast in your favorite text editor, and then sprinkle it with some high-quality monochrome clip art to represent clouds, rain and sun, then you'd have Overcast. Except that unlike Overcast, your RTFD document wouldn't offer hyperlocal forecasts from Forecast.io. Free.

|Loaded Firearm Detected by AIT at BDL
Inert Ordnance and Grenades etc. - We continue to find inert hand grenades and other weaponry on weekly basis. Please keep in mind that if an item looks like a realistic bomb, grenade, mine, etc., it is prohibited - real or not. When these items are found at a checkpoint or in checked baggage, they can cause significant delays in checkpoint screening. I know they are cool novelty items, but you cannot bring them on a plane. Read here and here on why inert items cause problems.
|Inert Suicide Vest (IND)
- The contents of a checked bag at Indianapolis (IND) drew our officer's attention: After alarming in the X-ray, our officers discovered 30 electric matches, a bag of potassium chlorate in the original packaging, a bag of titanium powder in the original packaging, a bag of powder that appeared to be a mixture of potassium chlorate and titanium powder, and a vest that appeared to be a suicide vest. All of the items were inert and the passenger was an explosives instructor. As I've said before, we're all too familiar with instructors and other people in this type of business needing these sorts of items for their jobs. As with all inert training items and replicas, we don't know they're not real until we've checked them out. This can include evacuated baggage areas and closed checkpoints which lead to delays and missed flights. People that need to travel with INERT items should plan ahead and contact their preferred shipper about mailing the training aids to their destination.
- A total of seven inert/replica grenades were discovered this week. Five WWII replica "potato masher" grenades were discovered in checked baggage at Louisville (SDF). The other two grenades were discovered at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) and Phoenix-Mesa (IWA). The grenade at DFW was in a carry-on bag.
What Not to Say at an Airport – Statements like these not only delay the people who said them but can also inconvenience many other passengers if the checkpoint or terminal has to be evacuated:
- After alarming Advanced Imaging Technology at Minneapolis (MSP), the TSA officer asked the passenger if he had any items he would like to divest from that area, the passenger stated: "Yes, A Colt .45." He didn't have a firearm.
Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the throughput is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. The passenger can face a penalty as high as $7,500.00. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.
*In order to provide a timely weekly update, I compile my data from a preliminary report. The year-end numbers will vary slightly (increase) from what I report in the weekly updates. However, any monthly, midyear, or end-of-year numbers TSA provides on this blog or elsewhere will not be estimates.

The concept for a museum and planetarium on the campus of South Carolina State University originated in the early 1970's. The first exhibition space was the Whittaker Gallery located in the basement of the college library. The Museum's present building was constructed in 1980 and is named for the first African-American chairman of the University's Board of Trustees, Isreal Pinkney Stanback, a prominent businessman and philanthropist from Columbia, SC. Stanback served what was then South Carolina State College from 1966-1982.
The I.P. Stanback Museum and Planetarium is an embodiment of South Carolina State University's commitment to community service, enhancing the appreciation of both the Arts and Sciences in a single facility. The Museum's programs include aesthetic appreciation, historical and didactic information, scientific and technological presentations and encouraging the development of critical thinking and creative skills for its student and adult constituencies.

|You would be best off riding a 148-149 the two boards you like come in a 149. If you ride on harder pack or icy stuff i would go with the roxy. Roxy is part Mervin (they also make lib tech and gnu) they are some of the most progressive snowboarding companies on the market. I personally ride a lib tech and love the board. But anyway off the soap box, roxy would be a good fit for you its not a very stiff board (medium stiff 5 out of 10 rating) less stiff than the neversummer. which wont be to bad for you the c2 ride is sick too it is rocker in between your feet and cambered over the bindings this gives you a lot of pop and also a much more catch free ride. The other nice thing about roxy is they use magne traction meaning the edges are waved giving you seven contact points. It is a true twin which makes riding switch a lot easier when ya get there. It will be playful enough and also forgiving enough but help you progress as well. I would go with this it is great on ice or groomers and also floats real nice on powder cuz of the c2. Hopefully this helps out
2nd snowboard
Hi guys,
Im a beginner/intermediate boarder looking for a new ride before a trip to new zealand in late july. I used to have a burton deja bu 146. I feel that it is too short for me. im 5′6 and 130 lbs and wear a size 8.5 mens salomon f22 boots.
I have my heart set on the roxy eminence c2 btx or the never summer infinity. Would board would you recommend is best for me? also what size would you recommend?
I see myself going to the snow quite often in the coming years and progressing. Which board do you think wont outgrow me anytime soon? id like the board to last as long as possible ><
i am from australia and we don't really get good snow here so its mostly hardpacked groomers (resort fields). although i'd love for a board that does okay on powder as well (when i go overseas). i dont see myself going to the park at all. I love going down the mountains (blue runs).
any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm having some problems planning lessons with a young learner. He is 11 years old and has dyslexia. I was asked to give him four lessons a week for the next six weeks, she told me that he doesn't know any English and his private tutor recommended that he begins at ABC. I planned the first ten lessons and made worksheets for the alphabet, basic greetings, colours etc. As he is dyslexic i don't want to use a textbook but rather i am focusing on games and more authentic situations in order to encourage speaking. The first lesson was today and i was completely thrown as he knows the alphabet, lots of vocabulary (professions etc). His English is definitely not beginner and yet he is still confused with basics like 'I like' and 'I want'.
I am trying to make some new worksheets for him and include an element of fun as i have been told that he lacks focus in lessons. To be honest in today's lesson he came across as very bright and able to read without problems so i do not think his dyslexia will be a big problem. Do you have any ideas for lessons? Also how do you teach at this level i.e. not a beginner, but still needs revision in some areas?
Many thanks

text: Since we often get discussions of which era of skating produced the best or most memorable skating, I thought I'd set up an artificial opportunity to compare examples from the last 30 years of skating history. How would you rank these performances? I've chosen to use bronze medal freeskates -- not always the third-place freeskate depending on short program and/or figures placement -- because for the most part they will be pretty good performances and readily available on youtube, but generally not historic iconic performances. These are ladies from Worlds in odd years only -- to keep the number manageable. If you want to try this but find the number of programs still too large, choose every other one listed. Obviously we see an increase in technical difficulty in more recent years. But it's not a steady one-way trajectory, so some earlier bronze-medal programs might be stronger technically than others from later years, especially when you focus on quality. And the presentation criteria can apply regardless of the era. I suggest trying to judge them by 6.0 and maybe mid-80s-mid-90s rules (Zayak rule applies, no required elements except at least one jump combo or sequence). Or you could judge them on the second mark only by 6.0 standards. Or even judge them on IJS program components only. Please let us know what your criteria are along with your rankings. If we get enough responses, I'll figure out the ordinals and results. Have fun. 1981 1983 1985 1987 1989 1991 1993 1995 1997 1999 missing (use this or this instead if you like, or just skip it) 2001 2003 2005 2007 2009 2011 (repeat by a skater already seen; skip one if you like)

Something different to talk about
So normally when I drive in to work I listen to Mike and Mike, but Friday the conversation was pretty boring. I decided to change it to a morning show I NEVER listen to, frankly I just don't get he hype around the dude, but anywhoo.
They had a few guest on and one guy was telling a story about a life after death experience he had. I've always found these stories pretty cool and just thought maybe since it was the off season this would be something different to talk about.
Fast forward to the 27:00 min mark to here the story.
Thoughts?We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin
Re: Something different to talk about
I think whats always more interesting than the story itself is the effect it has on the person and the people he/she tells. For me personally, these stories don't require a supernatural explanation. But, this is one of those tricky situations that make mind-body dualism seem like the only way to explain this.
Despite what he says, it seems obvious to me that when he went to church two days prior it impacted him more than he thought, or was willing to admit, and it remained in his subconscious. The brain still remains active after you are 'dead' although it would be more appropriate to say after you have stopped breathing or after your heart has stopped. There's a lot of interesting studies of near death experiences. One that stuck with me was, when people dramatically lose blood flow to their brain, because of the loss of oxygen, the neurons suddenly release their electrical potential, creating a chain reaction of neurons firing in close proximity, usually searing an event in the memory.
Dualism is simply no longer necessary to understand how consciousness and the brain works. It is indisputable to say that we are conscious, but it is not necessary to say we have 'a mind' in the sense that we are biological machines controlled by a ghost. It is impossible to think of oneself as distinct from ones brain. More or less I equate these incidents to a dream.Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Re: Something different to talk about
A dream is what I've always kind of thought about too. The only reason these still intrigue me, is that I've read or heard (can't remember) stories of people being dead for longer than a few minutes, like 15 to 20. Are you saying that the "dream" they have of after they stop breathing is seared in their memory that even if they were dead for an hour they'd still remember it?We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin

Robin van Persie will begin the quest for a second century of goals when he leads out Arsenal at Emirates Stadium tonight.
The captain joined the '100 Club' on Saturday with a brace against Bolton Wanderers and he will move ahead of Joe Baker into 16th position on our all-time scoring list if he nets against Olympiacos.
Van Persie grabbed the match ball as he left the pitch at the weekend and he feels honoured to have reached such a major milestone.
"I know all about the history of the '100 Club', I know I'm No 17 and it's such a privilege to be part of Arsenal's history in that way – a real honour," he told the Official Matchday Programme.
"When I had scored 82 or 83 goals I looked at the list and thought 'this is possible' and then I had such a good second half of last season that I knew if I stayed fit this season I would do it. It was just a big day for me, I'm so proud.
"When Theo went through [for the 100th goal], I just knew what he was going to do and it was a fantastic cross that made it an easy finish for me. More than half of that goal was Theo's and I was joking about it with him after the game that he must have had 30 or 40 of the assists for my 100 so it was fitting that he supplied that goal.
"To be honest, I didn't know what to do [after I scored]. I hadn't thought about it. The start of my celebration was sort of trying to explain to everyone that the goal was my 100th, but most people seemed to know!
"I just wanted to show my appreciation for everyone, my family who have seen every goal with me – I was really pleased my son was there on Saturday - and the fans who have always been so good to me."

Hi ! I am an EFL teacher in Indonesia and one of the groups I am teaching at present is an 11-12 age group. There are only 12 children there,however I have a hard time in dealing with one of them who is a terribly slow learner. She is a stutterer and falls behind in her study. The other children don't want to be her friends because of her habits of shouting in the class and calling for constant attention. Most of the time she can't stay focused and has very poor handwriting. Once I asked her to write well and to my surprise, she did it ! However it doesn't last long.
The problem is I don't know what to do in the class. I don't want to ignore her but at the same time I want my class to run well. What must I do in this situation ? How do I make the other children accept her as a part of the group ( which is what she wants the most ) ?

Helen Anderson admires the legacy of Geoffrey Bawa, whose 'tropical modernist' homes and chic hotels are island landmarks.
'I have a very strong conviction that it is impossible to explain architecture in words," legendary Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa believed. "Architecture cannot be totally explained but must be experienced."
There are few places in the world where his advice can be followed more literally or joyously than in Sri Lanka. Though Bawa, a relentless traveller, didn't start his architectural practice until the age of 38, he worked prolifically for 40 years, until he was paralysed by a stroke in 1998 and died five years later. The island is littered with his works, and many are boutique hotels and public buildings: accessible, easy to explore and, as the architect urged, to be experienced.
Bawa's influence and reputation as the "father" of Asian architecture is enough to draw travellers with a keen interest in design to see his key works at home. Though his buildings are full of ideas and character, they can be enjoyed just for their beauty and glorious settings. The landscapes that shaped Bawa are seductive on any itinerary: jungles, kilometres of beaches, the ruins of ancient cities in the Cultural Triangle, Buddhist temples and framed views from wide Bawa verandahs sheltered from tropical heat and monsoonal downpours.
Anyone who has stayed at Asian resorts will be familiar with the courtyards, pavilions, water features and fusion of indoor and outdoor space inherent in a style dubbed "tropical modernism", though they may not know most of these now-ubiquitous features originated in Bawa's work. Sri Lanka remains the best place to glimpse the purity of his style, which links modernist expression and the island's ancient architectural traditions, largely forgotten before he drew inspiration from the island's ruined royal cities.
Bawa was born in Colombo in 1919 to wealthy parents of mixed heritage. He studied law and literature in England, travelled widely and thought he would settle in a villa in Italy, but returned to Ceylon in 1948 and trained as an architect. A powerhouse of ideas but with few practical skills, he surrounded himself with talented associates and assistants, and feverishly developed his ideas about form, function and the relationship between built and natural environments.
He designed about 70 private houses, of which about 50 were built, and 35 hotels, of which 20 were built, along with schools, religious buildings, industrial complexes and public buildings, including Sri Lanka's Parliament House.
Perhaps the most striking of Bawa's hotels is the Heritance Kandalama, remarkable for its stark and bold design, its eco-principles achieved long before sustainability was demanded, and for its remarkable location hanging from a cliff above a 3rd-century tank (water reservoir) in the central Cultural Triangle, close to two tourist landmarks: the sacred Buddhist caves at Dambulla and the rock fortress of Sigiriya.
In 1991, Aitken Spence Hotels chose Bawa, then 72, to design a five-star property in the dry zone. The architect imagined Kandalama as an "austere jungle palace" and the entrance is characteristically dramatic: there's no sign of it as guests climb a ridge, almost no sign until reaching a cave-mouth entrance at the top. From the lobby and swimming pool, which seem to hang mid-cliff, there are two guest wings of 152 rooms below, spanning a kilometre from end to end. From a distance, it's hard to pick the hotel's terraces draped in greenery and connected by wide corridors backed by cliff-face rock and open to the elements; a wrought-iron chair in one of the bars is occupied by a nesting bulbul when I settle in, and monkeys climb the pillars.
The interiors are simple and masculine - Bawa is known for eschewing ornament and decoration, and for his minimalist palette of black and white - and the effect at Kandalama is to draw the view outside in, from bedrooms, bathrooms, restaurants and bars. Perhaps the best view is from an open terrace where I find a simple wooden desk with turned legs and a chair used by the architect while designing the hotel.
On the coast halfway between Colombo and Galle is Paradise Road The Villa Bentota, converted in the 1970s by Bawa from a neglected walawwa (family mansion) into Sri Lanka's first boutique hotel. In 2007, the place was bought, extended and remodelled by Sri Lanka's style guru Shanth Fernando, best known for his Paradise Road hotels and shops, and reopened in 2009. It remains recognisably Bawa but strikingly contemporary, with covetable interiors more opulent than Bawa would have imagined.
The architect's former office in Colombo is another Paradise Road outpost. The Gallery Cafe is as fine a place as any to appreciate Bawa's seamless sequencing of outdoor and indoor space between pavilions and two courtyards. It's best viewed with a chilli tamarind martini in hand or over a meal of black pork curry and jaggery creme brulee.
The highlight of any Bawa tour, and one of the loveliest spots on the island, is Lunuganga, the architect's 10-hectare retreat near Bentota. In 1948, he bought a rubber plantation and an undistinguished bungalow on a lake promontory, and for the next 50 years he built, nurtured and drew inspiration from the estate. He moved hills, planted and transplanted woods, cut terraces, remodelled the bungalow and experimented with ways of crafting landscapes.
Travellers approach Lunuganga on an unmarked dirt road that winds through paddies and jungle, only three kilometres from the hotels of Bentota but easily missed. The main bungalow and assorted cottages bear Bawa's trademark black-and-white interiors and are filled with Bawa's art and blueprints. But the heart of the estate is outdoors in a series of landscaped "rooms" linked by clever sight lines to the lake or a statue, over a ha-ha (a road concealed from view) to lawn terraces and from groves of cinnamon and rubber trees to pavilions and ponds. The architect's favourite spots have seats and a bell, each with a different ring, to indicate where he wished papers or drinks to be delivered.
The antithesis of a celebrity artist, Bawa kept his thoughts much to himself, expecting his work to speak for itself. And it's here, in his jungle-meets-Italian Renaissance estate, that the man's ideas and energy speak most clearly to me. I stroll for several hours between gardens, each leading to another framed view, another intellectual exercise. A few years after his stroke, the architect had recovered sufficiently to return to Lunuganga. Each morning he was wheeled to one of the terraces, from where he would plan the day's pruning or planting with staff, communicating as best he could with his good left hand and, years later, with those of us who gaze upon his life's work.
Heritance Kandalama, positioned on a cliff face near Sigiriya in the central Cultural triangle, is Bawa's most acclaimed hotel. He also designed two other hotels for Aitken Spence: Heritance Ahungalla and Heritance Ayurveda Maha Gedara, both on the south-west coast. See heritancehotels.com.
In 1979, Bawa was commissioned to design the Sri Lanka Parliament complex on the outskirts of Colombo, an impressive series of copper-roof pavilions rising from a lake.
Paradise Road Gallery Cafe in Bawa's former Colombo office has changing exhibitions and a tropical chic bar and restaurant. See paradiseroad.lk.
The Last House, wedged between a lagoon and idyllic Tangalle Beach on the south coast, was Bawa's swansong. The stylish beach house-hotel can be booked per room or for up to 14 people. See the-last-house-tangalle-sri-lanka.lakpura.com.
Lunuganga, pictured, a short drive from the beach of Bentota, is run as a country hotel with six guest rooms and cottages. The gardens are open 9am-5pm daily, and guided garden tours can be booked in advance. See lunuganga.com. Nearby is another Bawa-designed hotel, Paradise Road The Villa Bentota. See paradiseroad.lk.
Getting there Singapore Airlines has a fare to Colombo from Sydney and Melbourne for about $1120 low-season return, including tax. Fly to Singapore (about 8hr), then to Colombo (3hr 40min). See singaporeair.com. Australians must apply for online travel authorisation before arrival. See eta.gov.lk.
Touring there Stays at the Bawa-designed hotels Heritance Kandalama and Heritance Ahungalla are included in a range of Sri Lanka itineraries arranged by Perth-based Wildlife Safari. A 12-day Sri Lanka in Style tour includes visits to Bentota, Sigiriya, Kandy, Thirappane and Ceylon Tea Trails, from $3795 a person, twin share. This includes a chauffeur guide and private vehicle, luxury accommodation, all entrance fees, breakfast daily and all meals while at Tea Trails. An eight-day Cultural Sojourn includes time in Colombo, Kandy and the Cultural triangle, from $1495 a person. Phone 1800 998 558; see www.wildlifesafari.com.au.

Steward handbook
|Steward handbook
|steward tools, and provides guidelines and suggestions about their use. See also CheckUser, oversight, and steward policies. For discussion of steward activity, see the Stewards' noticeboard.This page documents
|For stewards
- 1 User groups and rights adjustment
- 1.1 Single wikis
- 1.2 Globally and wiki sets
- 2 Global access restriction
- 3 Guidelines for processing requests
- 4 Communication with other stewards
- 5 Tools and bug reports
User groups and rights adjustment[edit]
Single wikis[edit]
Stewards can use Special:Userrights on Meta to adjust users' access on any Wikimedia project by checking or unchecking specific groups. Each group is assigned a set of rights in the MediaWiki configuration, listed by Special:ListGroupRights on each wiki.
- Enter the user name.
- The format must be "Username@database_prefix" (for users on other wikis) or "Username" (for users on Meta-wiki).
- The first letter of the name must be uppercase (unless the wiki allows case-sensitive first letters in names).
- The database prefix consists of the language code for wikis with subdomains (replacing hyphens with underscores), followed by the project's prefix shown below.
- Click "Edit user groups". A new box will appear showing you what groups the user is already in, and which other groups are available.
- Reassign the groups.
- To assign a new group, check the appropriate group.
- To remove a group, uncheck the appropriate group.
- Click "Save user groups".
Database prefixes[edit]
The prefixes for the main projects are shown below. For others, see the full list. Note that hyphens ('-') should be replaced with underscores ('_'), so for example "cbk_zamwiki" is the DB name for cbk-zam.wikipedia.org.
|Multilingual wikis
|MediaWiki wiki
|Multilingual Wikisource
|Test Wikipedia
|Wikis with subdomains
|English Wikipedia
|French Wikiversity
|Classical Chinese Wikipedia
|Multilingual wiki
The following groups can be manipulated (among others on some wikis):
- bot
- administrator
- bureaucrat
- account creator
- import
- transwiki
- IP block exempt
- flood flag
- confirmed user
- autopatroller
- Restricted groups
- CheckUser – subject to CheckUser policy and Access to nonpublic data policy. See below for details.
- Oversight – subject to Oversight policy and Access to nonpublic data policy. See below for details.
- Very restricted groups
- Steward – Do not manipulate the steward flag on any wiki except Meta, and only then after a steward election or when a steward has resigned.
- Meta:WMF Office IT – Do not manipulate this flag on any user unless the Wikimedia Foundation asks you to do so.
- Meta:WMF Support and Safety – Do not manipulate this flag on any user unless the Wikimedia Foundation asks you to do so.
Encoding problems[edit]
Many browsers have difficulty manipulating user names in non-Latin characters. There are two ways to get around this problem:
- Enter the URL-encoded name through the URL.
- First, get the URL-encoded name:
- Copy it from the address bar of your browser while viewing their user page;
- or, type "
{{urlencode:{{PAGENAME}}}}" on the user's page, preview, and copy the text.
- Go to Special:Userrights, and in the address bar add "?user=" followed by the URL-encoded name. For example, http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Userrights?user=Foo+Bar.
- First, get the URL-encoded name:
- Enter the user id (for example, "#55@frwiki" for user #55 on the French Wikipedia). There are a few ways to determine the user ID:
- Ask a system administrator in #wikimedia-techconnect.
- Use the API with a query like this.
- If the user has edited on that wiki, you can find the ID by exporting that revision (if it is the latest) or exporting the whole history and locating that revision. Once located, look for the number inside "
<id></id>" under "
<contributor>" (make sure you're not getting the revision ID under "
- Use a tool hosted on the toolserver such as this one to find the user id.
Globally and wiki sets[edit]
Global accounts have the same name and password reserved on all public Wikimedia wikis (except previously-existing unattached local accounts). These global accounts can be assigned global groups, which give the user certain rights on all wikis where their global account can log in.
Note that a right is a specific access (like "edit-interface"), and cannot be given to a user directly; a group is an abstract grouping of rights (like "steward").
Managing groups[edit]
Stewards can create, edit, or delete a global group using Special:GlobalGroupPermissions. The scope of each wiki can be global (all public wikis), or defined for a specific set of wikis.
- Edit:
- In the "Existing groups" box, click "View and edit permissions" for the group you want to edit.
- A list of possible rights will appear (see also mw:Help:User rights). Check the rights the group are to have and uncheck those they are not to have.
- If the group needs access on specific wikis (instead of globally), select the set of wikis in the drop down menu above the list of rights (see Managing sets of wikis).
- Enter the reason for the change in the textbox below.
- Click "Save changes to group permissions". The changes will be applied immediately.
- Create:
- Enter the group name in the "Create a new group" textbox.
- Click "Assign permissions".
- Check at least one right, and if applicable select the scope (see step 2 onward how to edit above).
- Delete:
- Uncheck all its rights (see how to edit above).
- The group can be recreated later, and all former members will regain the same rights.
Managing group membership[edit]
Stewards can edit global accounts' membership using Special:GlobalGroupMembership. Placing a global account in global groups will give them all the rights assigned to that group on all public wikis.
- Enter the global account's user name in the textbox.
- Select a wiki where they have a local account from the drop-down menu.
- Click "Edit user groups". A "Edit user groups" box will appear below.
- Check the global groups to assign. (Even if they are similarly named, global and local groups are not necessarily identical!)
- Enter the reason for the change in the textbox.
- Click "Save User Groups".
Managing sets of wikis (for global groups)[edit]
Stewards can define 'wiki sets' using Special:EditWikiSets, lists of wikis where global groups can be given access (instead of globally). It's not necessary to create a set of all wikis: that is the default for global groups if no set is selected.
- If you're creating a new set, click "Create a new set". Otherwise, click "view/edit" beside the name of the existing set to edit.
- Enter the set's name in the 'name' box. This is for the convenience of stewards, and can be changed any time.
- Select the appropriate type in the 'type' box (opt-in or opt-out).
- Enter the database prefixes, one per line, in the 'wiki' box.
- Enter the summary or reason for your change, which will appear in the global rights log.
Managing global accounts[edit]
Stewards can access unification information about a particular global account, unattach local accounts from the global account, delete the global account (restoring all local accounts), and lock out access to the account using Special:CentralAuth (see logs).
Warning: Accounts should never be locked except in cases of certain bad faith. Locking the account (not to be confused with global blocking for IPs) will cause the user to log out, and prevent their login on all wikis. Since bug 57866 was fixed, users get an error message that they are locked when trying to login; previously they were told that the password was wrong. There is still no indication of a possibility of appeal or knowing the reason for the lock directly. (See bug 15294 for the request of allowing global blocking of accounts).
Bug: Special:CentralAuth can only hide the global account (see bug 14476). An option to hide local accounts when using the secure login can be enabled with Global hideuser in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets.
Global account renaming[edit]
At this time, global accounts can be renamed (see the help page). If a user would like a new username, they should use the following process:
- Check availability of the new name with a tool such as vvv's sulutil. If there are existing accounts with that name that have contributions, especially across multiple projects, the user is encouraged to select a different name, as usurping users with significant contributions is not likely.
- Request a username change on SRUC.
Note that global renames should be done in accordance with the global rename policy when it is finalized.
Global account deletion[edit]
Stewards can, via Special:CentralAuth, delete global accounts. This should only be done when there is a compelling reason. Requests such as "I don't want it" are not sufficient to warrant a deletion.
- Requests to delete the global accounts of vandals should not be performed at all, as this would interfere with the ability to lock the account in case of a spread of the abuse.
- If a user has renamed themselves globally and left behind an empty global account, that global account may be deleted to free the old username. While this is possible, the user should consider leaving the global account in place in order to prevent users from creating a new account under the old name, which would be linked in previous signatures and community discussions.
- Users should be warned that preferences (including passwords and email addresses) will be reset to their pre-merge values and that they will lose any global group membership which they previously had. Local accounts will not be otherwise affected and cannot be deleted.
- Some bot owners may request a deletion of the global account if it interferes with proper functioning of the bot. Of course, non-unified bots are not eligible for the "global bot" flag, and if the bot login password has changed during the time it was unified, that password will be reset to the pre-unification password.
- Warning: Once a global account is deleted, it cannot be reversed by stewards (see also bug T25243).
Unmerging local accounts from the global account[edit]
If a local project wishes to rename a vandal account, unmerge only that project from the vandal's global account, even if it's the only project in the global account. If there is a valid reason to not want the global account to be visible after the rename, the global account should be hidden instead of deleted, as deleting it would simply open that account name to recreation.
Global access restriction[edit]
IP address blocks[edit]
Stewards can block IP addresses and CIDR ranges (up to /16 in size) on all public Wikimedia wikis using Special:GlobalBlock, and remove a global block using Special:GlobalUnblock (see guidelines at Global blocking). Current global blocks are listed on Special:GlobalBlockList and logged on Special:Log/gblblock.
Globally blocked IPs cannot edit any page on any wiki except MetaWiki (which allows users to appeal on Meta). When a global block conflicts with a local block, the strongest block will apply; for example, a global anonymous-only block will be overridden by a local full block.
Local administrators can unblock a globally-blocked address on single wikis using Special:GlobalBlockWhitelist on those wikis, and customize the error message using MediaWiki:Globalblocking-blocked.
Global account lock (& hide)[edit]
See "Managing global accounts" above.
Global abuse filter[edit]
Since July 2013, stewards can create abuse filters on MetaWiki (Special:AbuseFilter) and then mark them as global; however, these global filters only apply to some wikis. See "Global AbuseFilter" for the current status of this tool. See here for some proposed guidelines during this phase of Global AbuseFilter deployment. If you create or edit a globally-enabled filter, please consider updating its status on Global AbuseFilter/Active filters.
Guidelines for processing requests[edit]
User access[edit]
- Check the Steward requests/Permissions page regularly
- Check that the procedure on that page has been followed and that the request does not violate any policies or guidelines (see the following sections for details)
- If the request is valid, fulfill it using Special:Userrights (see above for instructions)
- Mark the request as fulfilled (this is most often done with {{done}}) or rejected ({{not done}}) as appropriate.
- Tell the user, preferably on his own wiki, that he is now an admin and/or bureaucrat and invite him to join the admin channel by using Template:Invite.
- Leave the request on Steward requests/Permissions to allow follow-up comments and questions. Move a section to the archives only after no new comments have been added for two or three days.
General advice[edit]
- Checking facts: If a user claims they already have a certain right, you can verify this by checking Special:Listusers on the local project. If the steward has any doubts about the request, they should discuss with one or more regular users of the local project.
- Promoting very new users: There is no approved policy regarding the promotion of very new users for projects with no local community. New users should generally not be given rights until they have spent more time editing projects. However, stewards might grant new users temporary rights until a community has time to build up, at which point it can hold a vote to confirm the user's status.
Administrator and bureaucrat rights[edit]
- If the wiki has a community, the community should have approved the user's request, generally on a local request page. The user should wait at least a week—perhaps two if the community is very small—before placing his request on Meta.
- If the wiki has no community, or if it has too few active users to hold a meaningful discussion of the issue, it is probably advisable to grant temporary rather than permanent rights. Three months is a common period for temporary rights.
- Be sure the community does not already have a local bureaucrat. Stewards should only grant administrator and bureaucrat requests on wikis with no local bureaucrats. The only exception to this is if all local bureaucrats have been inactive for a period of time.
CheckUser rights[edit]
- Read the CheckUser policy carefully. Pay particular attention to the Access section, which specifies several important rules regarding the bestowal of this status. The use of this tool can have legal implications, so knowing and following the policy is of the utmost importance. Breach of the rules in this policy may result in removal of steward rights.
- Send this e-mail to the user to request that they sign the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information with the Wikimedia Foundation, record on the request page that the mail has been sent.
- If the user claims to have already signed the confidentiality agreement with the Foundation, check the Access to nonpublic information policy noticeboard or ask for confirmation of this fact from the Community Advocacy team.
- Grant rights only after receiving confirmation from the Wikimedia Foundation that the confidentiality agreement has been signed.
- After granting access, list the user in the appropriate section on CheckUser.
- Ask the user to subscribe to checkuser-l, and notify the listadmins that the user has been approved.
Oversight rights[edit]
- Read the policy at Oversight policy carefully. Pay particular attention to the Access section, which specifies several important rules regarding the bestowal of this status. The use of this tool can have legal implications, so knowing and following the policy is of the utmost importance. Breach of the rules in this policy may result in removal of steward rights.
- On the English Wikipedia, only the Arbitration Committee can approve a request for this status.
- Send this e-mail to the user to request that they sign the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information with the Wikimedia Foundation, record on the request page that the mail has been sent.
- If the user claims to have already signed the confidentiality agreement with the Foundation, check the Access to nonpublic information policy noticeboard or ask for confirmation of this fact from the Community Advocacy team.
- Grant rights only after receiving confirmation from the Wikimedia Foundation that the confidentiality agreement has been signed.
- After granting access, list the user at Oversight policy/User list.
Removal of access[edit]
- If a user requests that his own rights be removed, check that he has confirmed his identity as explained on Steward requests/Permissions. If their account is global (SUL) with both their Meta and local account on the specific wiki attached to it, this is not necessary.
- If a user requests that his or her own rights be removed, it is generally put on hold for some time to allow the user to change their mind if they wish to do so.
- If a user requests that another user's rights be removed, be sure that the action complies with the local wiki's policy on removal of rights. This will often involve sifting through a lengthy debate on a local request page to confirm the validity of the procedure.
- After removing a user's checkuser or oversight rights, do not forget to remove them from the corresponding lists.
Temporary rights[edit]
- The precise duration is a matter of discretion; three months and six months appear to be the most common.
- A bot will move the section to Steward requests/Permissions/Approved temporary.
- Check the subpage occasionally and remove access from users whose expiry dates have passed.
- It would be best to use {{Systmp}} to state clearly when the rights will be removed.
CheckUser information[edit]
- See Steward requests/Checkuser.
- If local checkusers exist in a project, checks should generally be handled by those. In emergencies or for multi-project checkuser checks as in the case of cross-wiki vandalism stewards may perform local checks. Stewards should remove checkuser access on the projects upon completion of the checks and notify the local checkusers or checkuser email list. (from the official CheckUser policy page).
- Stewards may checkuser on loginwiki as a form of long-requested "cross-wiki checkusering" (link).
- Note: The German Wikipedia requests that absolutely all CheckUser queries must be announced on de:Wikipedia:Checkuser/Anfragen (please ask the local users with access if you need help with formulation, or with precisely what should be published).
Other steward tasks[edit]
- Ideally, one or several stewards should be 'on duty' in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel at any given time. Users of small wikis are encouraged to use this channel to report emergencies, but it has also been used for conversation about and among stewards, and for discussion of routine matters.
Email templates[edit]
To be sent to users with access to private data:
Communication with other stewards[edit]
Mailing list: There is a private stewards mailing list, for discussions of policy and private requests. Please be advised that some mail services might mark some mail as "Spam". For instance, when using gMail, it may be useful to setup a filter, instructing the service to avoid marking mails that are addressed "To: email@example.com", checking the box "Never send it to Spam".
IRC: The public #wikimedia-stewardsconnect channel is a place to ask for help, announce emergencies, or discuss ongoing events with stewards and others. stewardbot will flag stewards' attention if you say !steward in the channel.
Meta: High-level discussion about policy and other wikis takes place on the Stewards' noticeboard and Meta:Babel.

September 21st, 2007: My street artist friend Posterchild (who you may know from his Mario question blocks) asked me if he could remix one of my shirts, and I was all, "YES PLZ". He's got the remixed shirt on his site now. Check it out! The slogan comes from a reader who emailed me a year or so ago (I searched and couldn't find the email) telling me about his brother who was trying to describe my "Not all dreams can come true" shirt to a friend, but could only remember it as "There is no hope at all." Awesome.
Hey, today is a special day because today we get a Dresden Codak update! It's such a good comic, you guys. This week's comic is gorgeous. Also, today's Overcompensating is great as well. THIS CONCLUDES "COMICS RYAN LOVES AND HOPES YOU DO TOO" FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2007
My new book Romeo and/or Juliet is out now!! It's my choose-your-own-path version of the Shakespeare play featuring tons of great illustrations. Check it out!!
One year ago today: BACKSTORY: there's a new game called 'ultimate real-life road trip simulator' and the devil wants to know if it's worth downloading the shareware version because his dsl is out so he's on dialup and the file is about 50 megs and on 2400 baud that's like two whole days of tying up the phone line so is it worth it is his question

Published Nov. 13, 2013
Springfield, Ohio - The Wittenberg University School of Community Education (SCE) is proud to announce its recent addition of the RN to BSN program. The program builds on initial nursing preparation with course work to enhance professional development, prepare students for a broader scope of practice, and provide a better understanding of the cultural, political, economic, and social issues that affect patients and influence care delivery.
Program completion averages 24 months. Scheduling and a blended online and in-classroom course structure allows students to complete the program at their own pace.
Students fulfill clinical requirements through project-based learning experiences, and all courses are aligned with AACN BSN Essentials, including QSEN principles.
SCE Dean Thomas Taylor calls this "the most significant curricular development at Wittenberg in a generation. Hundreds of nurses earned the BSN at Wittenberg from the 1930s to the 1970s. This new program revises that heritage and provides a much needed educational service to our local community."
The program's head, Director of Nursing Joyce Zurmehly, Ph.D., notes that according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, "graduates of entry level baccalaureate (BSN) and master's nursing programs [are] much more likely to receive job offers upon graduation."
RN to baccalaureate programs are growing in importance as many professional practice settings, including Magnet hospitals and academic health centers, now require or prefer the baccalaureate degree for specific nursing roles.
Baccalaureate-prepared nurses are also more likely to report higher job satisfaction scores in relation to opportunities for growth, and to remain in practice longer than others.
Visit wittenberg.edu/sce for additional information on flexible programs offered to traditional and non-traditional students seeking advancement in their career.

"Motorcycles - the cigarettes of transportation." Seth Meyers
yup, that door sill plate says "mead of weybridge - distributors of rolls royce and bentley"
looks like it was added by the dealer in england.
another quick update, got some good condition early bumpers headed our way, along with some other misc parts ive been working for a while to track down - namely a new intake boot!
we made the executive decision to have the good trans we got in a few weeks ago completely gone through. new cltuches, seals, etc. when we put this thing together we dont want to have to take it apart again for another 50 years
ill post some pictures of the new parts when we start getting stuff in
Way to go! Good decision on the trans, might as well make it right - and make it behave like a proper Roller.
im running into some confusion with the mirrors that should have been on this car (before it was federalized)... ill have to take a couple pictures of what ive got and post them on RROC, as ive found i think 4 or 5 different variations of mirrors on these cars and im not sure whether they were all available and were picked by the owners as options or whether it was a year to year difference.
Fantastic! I'm glad to see it going on as a restoration instead of some hacked-up mod car. Granted, the options would open up if you didn't mind modifying it, but this will be much sweeter in the end.

"Motorcycles - the cigarettes of transportation." Seth Meyers
im headed out to the shop tonight but ill post pictures of the door mounted square crap that weve got, the holes that are left over on our window trim from the small round mirrors that i presume the car used to have... and then the couple of pictures ive found online of other early shadows and what they appear to have.
lots of confusion
my hope is to try to track down the round door mounted (and adjustable from the interior) ones ive managed to find pictures of online, but havent checked for prices or availability.
im certain that this car shipped with window frame mounted non adjustable mirrors, but someone added these interior adjustable square ones at some point - and whacked holes in the door trim (for the adjusters) and in the doors. so were hoping to use the holes that theyve made to mount the smaller round mirrors...
itll all make more sense with pictures i think
"Motorcycles - the cigarettes of transportation." Seth Meyers
This is the best build thread I have ever read on vortex. So excited to see the outcome.
These cars sweat class.
anyway, onto the pictures!
heres us (both sides of the car are the same):
the original holes:
and i didnt take shots but theres a hole through each front door wood piece for the adjustment knob to poke through...
heres a RHD '67 with the fender mounted setup - which seems to follow most of the other RHD '67s ive seen
and finally heres a RHD '76 with a combo of both the window mounted and door mounted round mirrors:
like i said my hope is to find a left and right version of the round door mounted style that are adjustable from inside - as seen on the driver's side of the RHD '76, so that we can reuse the holes in the wood and doors that someone so kindly drilled in our car...
something like this guy:
(currently on ebay, description says euro spec '75)
im going to bug the brainiacs at RROC about this also, but figured this might make an interesting discussion here too
chrome bumpers shipped today... so pictures are on their way soon
Originally Posted by Boyz in da Park

and according to the handful of folks whove responded apparently there were 4 different types of mirrors available in the 60s, each being available in either a single on the drivers side or a dual mirror configuration depending on how it was ordered. among those 4 types the door mounted adjustable round mirror was an option.
now to hunt down a pair!
What wonderful cars.
I've driven many of them over the years, and they simply drive like no other car on the road.
One thing that bothers me about these is the steering wheel. Why not wood and with same damned style! It looks like it belongs on a taxi.
ive seen a few online with wooden wheels, but yeah youre right the plastic hardly seems fitting
all kinds of parts sitting at the shop now, including 3 bumpers
so far got the front bumper on loose to make adjustments to the fitment... need to take a couple of pictures as it looks 100% better already and we havent even swapped up the mirrors
after removing the old bumpers i found a couple places that need some touching up underneath but it should look great afterwards
pics pics pics pics pics pics pics pics pics pics...

i can imagine, and we already have a few dings and dents and whatnot from before
should have pics in a couple days
couple shots of the front (havent had time to fit the rear)
keep in mind that its not really mounted but just finger tight... still need to adjust/center/level it
Great looking car!
thanks, ill hopefully get a chance over the next few weeks to completely mount both bumpers

By Nick Teale
Gael Clichy says he "does not care" about the results of the other Premier League title-chasers, preferring to concentrate only on Arsenal's performances.
While the Gunners picked up just a point away to West Ham on Sunday, Manchester United lost to Liverpool and Manchester City surrendered a two-goal lead to draw at home to Fulham. On the Saturday, Tottenham lost at home to Stoke.
It was seen as a missed opportunity for Arsenal. Yet, while Clichy was dissatisfied with the lead his side let slip, he wasn't concerning himself with those results.
"We don't care what the other teams are doing," he said. "We have to play our game and try to get as many points as possible.
"The really big disappointment is that we were 2-0 up and didn't win the game. So the big shame is us not winning."
When asked if there were any strong words from Arsène Wenger after the match, Clichy said "not yet", however he expected further reflections.
"I think he will come back to the game on Monday," said the Frenchman. "But we all know what was right and wrong so we just have to look forward to the next game.
"We have to give West Ham credit because they fought until the end from 2-0. We knew it would be hard to come here and we were in control for most of the game.
"But that is not enough. We have to win games and stop losing points like this because it is a big disappointment.
"We must now look forward to Wednesday [against Liverpool] to make those mistakes right."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Lana Del Rey In Calvin Klein Jean Shirt For NYLON
Posted by Admin under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
Sultry songstress Lana Del Rey looks awesome on the cover of Nylon Magazine's most recent issue, wearing a Calvin Klein Jean denim shirt and some sexy, strappy black separates. Inside the singer discusses her reaction to different phases in her life, from attending her first philosophy class at age 15, to what it was like when she was living in the city and attending Fordham University:
"I would go over different rhymes in my head, like rhyming 'disco' with 'go-go,' writing about girls with blue mascara and black eyeliner, and about all of the men I had met who I just loved. It was a very liberating, penniless, hilarious, fun, fun time."
Read more quotes from this enigmatic entity. We don't know about you, but we love Lana! Grab a copy of NYLON at your local newsstand for more.

They were just simple steps – tweeting and shooting out an email – but they were all it took for Molly Katchpole '11 to ignite her inner activist, the RWU alumna told students at the concluding event for Social Justice Week on campus last Friday.
In 2011, Katchpole had recently graduated from RWU's art and architectural history program and was living in Washington, D.C., working two jobs and counting down the days until her six-month student loan repayment grace period would end. With the Occupy Wall Street movement in full force at that time, the public's discontent concerning economic justice was palpable – everyone, including Katchpole, heard Occupy's frustration in the news, on the Internet and in social media outlets. So when Bank of America announced a plan to institute a $5 monthly fee for its debit card users to access their money – which would hit Katchpole and other low-income Americans hardest – it was the last straw for her. And then it happened….

I have the utensils and the cutting boards, They're pretty damn good and don't scratch up my nonstick pans (the utensils dummy)
Cutting boards are nice too, but i mean, how can you mess up a cutting board?
last one of the night for me, Cowboydann can handle things from here. Previous woot was $6 more at $25.99 (and the woot-offs in between):
good night
Volunteer Moderator
First time I've ever seen any bamboo item being noted as "panda safe". Short of a Woot shirt coming to life, is there something more to this?
Narfcake wrote:First time I've ever seen any bamboo item being noted as "panda safe". Short of a Woot shirt coming to life, is there something more to this?
I wondered about that too. The first thing that came to mind was that no panda on it.
I might have to buy this and send it to my Mom. She has ancient crappy kitchen utensils and like one sad cutting board. I'm tired of using that stuff when I visit. Merry Christmas Mom! Now I just need to Woot a good set of knives to send her so I'm not hacking tomatoes to death when I visit.
I already have these cutting boards. LOVE THEM.
Woot is helping me with Christmas shopping tonight. Good deal. ;)
$90 original price? and what about them makes it worth $90?
Just purchased this set, 12 days ago, on Woot and paid six bucks more, but this set is worth it.
Today it's a better buy.
Hole-y Cutting Boards!
I was just about to post a question regarding what useful purpose a hole in a cutting board might serve (this has always perplexed me), but not wanting to seem uninformed, I decided to first do a little research (using google). I found some interesting answers on various sites and thought I'd share just in case there are any other wondering wooters.
As small as the holes appear in the picture of these particular boards, their purpose is most likely described in these two quotes:
Thumb hole is designed for easy hanging from a hook or pot rack,...
The thumb hole allows you to hold it with one hand and also provides a way to hang it on the wall if you so desire.
However, apparently there are also other purposes for such holes (if the hole is much larger, or for multiple holes):
If you need to accommodate a waste chute, bain marie pot or have pins on your work surface to hold your cutting board in place, holes are a great option.
But this has to be my personal favorite:
With a thumb-hole reminiscent of a painter's palette, the bamboo cutting board will bring out the artistic side of any chef...The board also serves as a suitable presentation platter for your artful works.
I bought during the weekend; though it is a punch to the crotch seeing that the price is $6 cheaper than the Woot-Off. Still waiting for it to arrive.
I have a question for the kitchen kings/queens out there regarding the bamboo cutting boards. How do these do with absorbsion?
If I use one of these to say do the final butchering of small game or poultry, would it be safe and clean of juices after a scrub with a sponge and dish-soap? Safe that is for then cutting up raw veggies/fruit and eating them. I have a feeling that I shouldn't let these soak to ensure sanitation.
I don't particularly mind if I should reserve these for one specific purpose, I'd rather just not ruin a cutting board I'm sure to fall in love with compared to the dinky plastic Cutco one I currently have.
Hmmmm. Sold out before 8am Woot time. Weak.
honeybadger12 wrote:$90 original price? and what about them makes it worth $90?
absolutely nothing! I have this set. It isn't worth more than $15. The utensils looks like they were made by a child in shop class.
well that was fast
I know it's sold out, but I bought these last time and love them.

A common question about the Tutankhamun exhibition is whether King Tut's funerary mask and mummy are on display.
Tutankhamun's funerary mask and mummy are two of the most valuable artefacts in the world and the Egyptian Government has ruled that neither can travel outside Egypt because they are too fragile. The object pictured on promotional material for the exhibition is actually Tutankhamun's canopic coffinette, an exquisite miniature replica of King Tut's sarcophogus. Four of them were discovered in his tomb, each holding vital organs. The canopic coffinette that is on display in the exhibition at Melbourne Museum held his liver. Like the funerary mask, it too displays the face of the Boy King.
Tutankhamun's golden canopic coffinette, which held his mummified liver. A cropped image of this exhibition artefact features on promotional posters.
Source: Egyptian Museum, Cairo
The funerary mask is display in Cairo at the Egyptian Museum and has not left Egypt since the 1970s. It is quite different to the coffinette and sarcophagi not only in size, but because it portrays his head and shoulders only and does not show his hands holding a ceremonial flail and crook.

As for his mummy and sarcophagi, these could never be displayed in the exhibition because they have never left the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Nevertheless, a replica of his mummy and a multimedia projection of the many layers of sarcophagi can be seen at Melbourne Museum in the National Geographic gallery, which is located outside the exhibition entrance.
