Services exports from Asia-Pacific least developed countries (LDCs) are growing in volume and should be further encouraged as they can contribute towards export diversification and development. Unlike in the case of merchandise trade, however, until recently LDCs did not receive any preferential market access in services trade. Progress is finally being made towards implementation of a 2011 WTO mechanism (the 'Services Waiver') that provides a route for countries to voluntarily offer LDCs preferences in services.
The use and exchange of electronic data and documents to support international trade transaction processes, otherwise known as Paperless Trade, is an important means of facilitating trade and one of the keys to reducing trade costs and enabling developing economies to more effectively use of trade as an engine of growth and sustainable development.

Myanmar is emerging from decades of military rule, central planning and economic isolation as it implements political and economic reforms and, as a result, faces fewer international sanctions. The country has great potential for rapid development due to its vast natural resources, abundant labour force and geostrategic location.

text: Medical Definition of Open-angle glaucomaOpen-angle glaucoma: Glaucoma is a condition of the eye that leads to progressive atrophy of the optic nerve in the presence of an open angle. It is accompanied by changes in the appearance of the optic disc, loss of peripheral vision and has historically been associated with elevated intra-ocular pressure. Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma. It is in contrast to angle-closure glaucoma in which the drainage angle between the iris and the cornea becomes closed, blocks fluid from exiting the eye and results in a significant rise in pressure.

The arrangement, it was disclosed, had involved members of the new transitional government operating under the (supposed) scrutiny of a large UN mission. The discovery should not have come as a surprise. Liberia's new government, supposedly a model of national reconciliation, is largely made up of former militia members. During 15 years of war, armed gangs ravaged Liberia, turning it into a classic example of a failed state. Since the fighting stopped in August 2003, the erstwhile warlords have been quick to set aside their differences -- at least when doing so helps them acquire more loot. The mining deal was just one in a long series of similar scandals perpetrated by senior members of the transitional government, who are rapidly signing away their country's future in return for personal financial gain. It did not have to be this way. The new regime was established in October 2003 as part of a peace agreement brokered by West African states and supported by Washington -- and backed up by a powerful UN peacekeeping mission. The UN force, originally led by Jacques Klein (a former U.S. diplomat with strong military credentials), has worked to disarm local fighters, build a working bureaucracy, organize democratic elections, and establish a basis for lasting peace. Preparations for presidential and parliamentary elections are proceeding on schedule, with voting expected to take place in October. Unfortunately, the interim government has used the time to make things worse. Liberian warlords and politicians have found it easy to outmaneuver the UN and the international community in the conduct of what locals, with their habitual grim humor, call "business more than usual."

Rossini's Cinderella Story, La Cenerentola, Returns To Great Performances at the Met With Bel Canto Stars Joyce DiDonato And Juan Diego Flórez Sunday, September 7 at 12 noon on PBS
Joyce DiDonato sings the title role in Rossini's Cinderella story, La Cenerentola, with bel canto master Juan Diego Flórez as her dashing prince. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi leads a cast that also includes Pietro Spagnoli in his Met debut as the servant Dandini, Alessandro Corbelli as Cenerentola's stepfather Don Magnifico, and Luca Pisaroni as Don Ramiro's tutor, Alidoro, on Great Performances at the Met Sunday, September 7 at 12 p.m. on PBS.
Joyce DiDonato has sung Angelina at major opera houses all over the world, including La Scala, the Bavarian State Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Paris's Théâtre du Châtelet, and Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona. Angelina is her eighth role at the Met. Juan Diego Flórez is one of the world's foremost Rossini tenors, currently counting 17 of the composer's tenor roles in his repertory. He made his Met debut in 2002 as Count Almaviva in Il Barbiere di Siviglia, the same year he sang his first company performances of Don Ramiro in La Cenerentola.
The New York Times found DiDonato to be "… a dazzling, plucky and endearingly poignant Cinderella …She sang with impish glee, dispatching virtuosic runs and turns, leaping from her chesty low register to gleaming high notes." The Financial Times observed that "Luisi, the Met's principal conductor, managed to enforce verve and style, even elegance in the pit."
Soprano Deborah Voigt hosts the broadcast.
La Cenerentola was originally seen live in movie theaters on May 10 as part of the groundbreaking The Met: Live in HD series, which transmits live performances to more than 2,000 movie theaters and performing arts centers in 66 countries around the world.

Join our new Summer activity!
Are you living summer at its best? Polaroid sure is! Our polychromatic Pixel pop-up has become a vibrant hub of fun complete with photo booths, ice cream, giveaways, DJs and, of course, Polaroid Eyewear! Where did we go this Summer? #YOULLSEE
Since the beginning of Summer our Pixel touched some of the most amazing locations in Europe. Summerburst festival in Stockholm was the first stop: an energetic, electrifying start to load up on great music for our Summer soundtrack!
Next stop was Plaza del Callao, in the beating heart of Madrid. Our hub was right in the middle of the square but if you looked up you could see something different…on top of a building we set a giant pair of Polaroid Twist, to offer people a new (polarized!) view of Madrid skyline.
Passing from Paris to let you enjoy the Eurocup at the feet of the Tour Eiffel, we then moved to London, bringing a shock of colour on the South Bank. And we brought a surprise with us.
We wanted to see how our fans were living life at its best. By sharing their pictures with the hashtag #YOULLSEE our fans got the chance to be featured on Piccadilly Circus super famous digital billboard! Did you share yours?
Final stop Italy, Riccione Aquafan. We couldn't let Summer pass by without splashing around a bit! So there we were with our Pixel, and between foam parties and water slides we sure have some vibrant pictures of this holidays.
Our wonderful tour is over for this year, but don't let that stop you. Leave it to your Polaroid sunglasses to protect your eyes, and continue living life at its best!

Hello, welcome to my profile! The picture is of me settling a bet over whether a completely untrained and out-of-shape dude could roundhouse kick a cup that was higher than his head. Don't I look awesome?
I'm a recently graduated physics/math major who writes anime reviews for some reason. As I finished up my physics major, I realized that I just wasn't interested in pursuing the field as a career, so instead I kicked some ass at my GRE's and got an assistantship to study at the department of statistics at Colorado State University. Why statistics? Well, WHY NOT?
Besides anime, my main interests are writing, strategic gaming (poker, magic: the gathering, go, chess, etc), and internet piracy.
As far as my reviews/star ratings go: In general, a 6 (***) is watchable, a 7 (***1/2) is good and an 8 (****) is a must-see.
7,103 total episodes
Most things from the past year passed me by since I was in Ghana, and it doesn't seem like I missed much either. Bakemonogatari never interested me. I am watching Katanagatari and, although I like the premise a lot, I am massively disappointed that a show about SWORDS has such crap action. And the dialogue is indeed overwhelming. That first fight, I kept watching and waiting for them to stop talking and beat each other up already... and waiting... and waiting... and then I practically wept when they finally did and it was rubbish. But I have only seen the first episode and everything will now depend on whether I get attached to the characters or the plot actually goes somewhere. The art style is very nice, though. I just wish that unique style came with some stunning action. Is it REALLY just me who thinks if you have swords in a show you are obliged to provide gorgeous action? If this had been made in the 90s, the creators wouldn't have dared break this rule. But meh. We'll see how it goes.
As for Wandering Son, I hear the manga does not disappoint at all. So if they stick to that, it should be good. What's anime's record with sticking to mangas, again...?
Urgh. I apologise for this second post. But 1) I see you already added Glass Mask user review. 2) You still have access to the site reviewers subforum. You're free to take a look at the Cross Game review therein if you want my more detailed thoughts. Oh, and I watched it as part of a buddy group, so you can always check its thread for more comments.
Well hi vivafruit! Nice to see you're still watching stuff and maybe even scribbling stuff. I'm thinking USER REVIEW.
And I agree, Cross Game is the best sports anime evar... for thirty episodes. And then that thing with Akane made me spit ire and I just spent the last twenty episodes nervously awaiting another clumsy, fucked up twist e.g. her dying or Kou getting with her instead of Aoba or Azuma getting with Aoba or something like that. Every episode was nerve-racking for all the wrong reasons. And the baseball became perfunctory. I mean, I accept that Cross Game's baseball was never as vital as the romantic drama, but Jesus, it became so 'okay yeah here's a game and they won, and here's another game and they won, and here's another because we only have four episodes left to the end and I kinda forgot to develop this part'. And THAT might be forgivable if there had been any development of the drama in the meantime, but there sort of wasn't. They milled about, repeating the same lines 'She's not Wakaba. She's not Wakaba. She's not Wakaba.' Or some such. I liked the ending, though. Very sweet but could have been done twenty episodes earlier with the first Koushien game.
And I rant only out of tough love. Because I do love this show. I really, really, really love this show. For thirty eps it was sitting effortlessly on 8.5. It made me buy the three volumes of Short Program only for it to arrive in French because the bloody English speaking nations of this world haven't got all three, and then have to send it back to amazon. I'm checking out Touch at the same time. One day, I'm sure I'll get to H2.
I apologise for this immense comment but it really is your fault for opening the flood gates. Review is in feedback process. It'll be up in a few days.
PS. If you're interested in anything current season, I highly recommend Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko). The first episode compelled me to 4.5/5 it, which will probably just turn out to be a senseless act, but right now it's giving me wonderful Koi Kaze 'taboo+delicate drama' vibe and the animation is roughly ten times better than in Koi Kaze.
Anyway, I'm off to be more lazy this fine Sunday morning. Hope all is well. :)
Greetings, Vivafruit!
It is said that you are the person to come to with questions about writing reviews. I may do so in the future, but what I'm really interested in is writing synopsis for the many I have seen blank. Where is the option to do this? Do you have to be a moderator to acess this feature? I searched the forums, but found nothing on the topic.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. On a side note: you get major cool points for listing Lain as one of the top anime to see. Most excellent.
Hey Vivafruit, long time no see.
Just watched Mind Game and I have to admit, that end sequence where they're rowing is possibly the best action sequence I've seen anywhere in the anime world. I can see why you rated it a 10.

Five days after urging its fans to take to the streets dressed as beggars in a bid to raise awareness of the poor and homeless, Roskilde Festival announced last year's event raised euro 2.3 million ($3.27 million) for charity.
Roskilde Festival fans take it to the streets for the event's "People of the Street" campaign raising awareness for the homeless.
The laws regarding VAT exemption for charities mean the money must be disposed of before this year's Roskilde.
"Our 28,000 volunteers have made a completely indescribable effort to put together a great festival. It's because of them that Roskilde Festival exists and that we can now donate this much money to charity," said Roskilde Festival Charity Society chief Steen Jørgensen.
Every year since the early '70s the Danish festival has given its profits to humanitarian projects. In September it gave 1 million Danish kroner (then $172,000) to help flood victims in southern Pakistan.
On March 24 it launched its "People Of The Street" campaign, which involved fans dressing as beggars in six cities across Denmark, Norway, England and Germany.
Taking it to the streets for the event's "People of the Street" campaign raising awareness for the homeless.

This year's Roskilde Festival is June 30 to July 3. The lineup includes Kings Of Leon, Iron Maiden, Beatsteaks, Mastodon and PJ Harvey.

You fulfilled every artisan and engineers hope and desire that someone would notice and apreciate the thought, time and care they put into the small details.
I too was intrigued with these such as the "found object" grotto we walked by each day on the way to our villa in Amalfi.
Mom is fortunate to have such a loving and caring husband to help fulfill her goal as we three moto teers were to have J put in so much planning and then support of our adventure.
I am surprised that you didn't mention " Amalfi bus surfing "as one of your favorite things!! ;)
Reflections of Italy…Roger
Trip Start
May 27, 2011
Trip End
Jun 23, 2011
How often do you get to help someone fulfill one of their dreams (aka #1 on Sara's "bucket list") much less share that dream with them? Besides the emotions connected with experiencing the sights and sounds of Italy for the first but probably not the last time, we were able to share a memorable portion of that experience with our small family, with whom we celebrated a birthday (Jessica's) and an anniversary (our's- 52nd!) during the trip.
We saw so many glorious and wonderful antiquities, engaged so many friendly Italians with greater or lesser success, and learned a lot about Italy- its present and its past. Our 28-day sojourn in Italy was truly an educational experience in history, art, religion, anthropology, sociology, architecture, engineering, … We managed to experience a small window of the geographical diversity of Italy including the environments of a resort area (Amalfi Coast); major cities (Rome and Florence); small hill-towns of Tuscany and Umbria (including an actual live-in experience in Montalcino); and Umbrian farms. In conversations with Wanda, Catherina, and Ettore, we learned about many of our similarities-the economy, the cost of gas, the cost of groceries, the latter two we experienced first-hand and some of our differences.
My take away is a new understanding and admiration for the Italian people- past and present. Both their monumental and residential structures demonstrate care, ingenuity, attention to detail, concern for longevity and a historical perspective. Being an engineer myself, I was thoroughly impressed by the art and skill of their "engineers" and architects and the ingenuity and industriousness of their "constructors" (understanding of course that some were slaves). Further, the artistry of their painters, mosiacists, and sculptors of yesteryear and today was way beyond both my expectations and comprehension. My advice- Italy cannot be experienced vicariously; one must engage the people, sights and sounds first-hand- so go!
I close with a few of my favorite things: gelato- coconut; Italian cappuccino; Contucci Nobile de Montepulciano (a luscious red wine- unfortunately expensive); pecorino; Italian tomatoes; outdoor cafes; Sara's Italian-style cooking; church bells (I bet that one fooled you!); the Autostrada (it's four lanes); stairs (I'm actually lying about this one); Ristorante Trattoria La Carabaccia, Florence- the food and the wait staff; a particular pasta the size and shape of a small rope; one young artist in Spello; …and…

Release: 01/12/2013
CLEMSON, SC - Clemson seniors Devin Booker and Milton Jennings led the Tigers to their first ACC victory of the 2012-13 season on Saturday, a 59-44 triumph over Virginia in front of 7,795 fans at Littlejohn Coliseum. The Tigers improved to 9-6 on the season, 1-2 in the ACC. The Cavaliers dropped to 11-5 overall, also 1-2 in league play. It was Clemson's fourth straight win at home over Virginia.
Jennings produced a career game for Brad Brownell's team. The 6-foot-9 native of Summerville, SC scored a season-best 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting. He made a career high 5-of-8 from three-point distance. It was Jennings' career high against an ACC team. His previous best was 17 in a win over NC State last season. He added a season-high 11 rebounds for his first double-double of the 2012-13 campaign. Booker was just 3-for-10 from the field, but sank 9-of-12 at the charity stripe to finish with 15 points. He added nine rebounds for Clemson, who won the battle of the boards by a +6 margin.
The Tigers shot 76.9 percent in the second half, their high figure for the 2012-13 season. Clemson ended the game shooting 17-for-33, 51.5 percent. It was the fewest field goal attempts for Clemson in 80 games under Brownell. His team made 19-of-27 at the free throw line, an advantage of 14 points as UVA made 5-of-8.
It did not take long for the Tigers to surpass their first half field goal total from Tuesday's game at Duke. Clemson made just 3-for-25 in that half against the Blue Devils, but made its fourth shot at the 13:45 mark when Jennings banked in a three from the wing. Clemson stretched its advantage to four, but it was trimmed to one at 19-18 when Akil Mitchell scored on a layup with 5:35 remaining. With the game tied at 20, Clemson scored the final two baskets of the opening frame to take a 24-20 lead into the locker room on a Rod Hall jumper and Booker layup.
Booker pushed the lead to nine at 33-24 after scoring inside on a feed from Jennings at the 14:55 mark of the second half. But UVA responded with five quick points, the last three courtesy an Evan Nolte trifecta. Clemson answered with its own 5-0 run to make it 38-29 after Damarcus Harrison hit his only two field goals of the game.
The lead finally reached double digits at 49-38 after K.J. McDaniels converted a pair of free throws and Booker a three-point play. The lead was never lower than seven points the final six minutes of the game.
Joe Harris led Virginia with 14 points, despite 5-of-13 shooting. The Cavs struggled to 35.4 percent from the field, including just 8-of-26 (.308) in the second half. Mitchell had seven points and nine rebounds.
Clemson returns to action at Littlejohn Coliseum on Tuesday, Jan. 15 to take on Wake Forest. The game will be televised by ESPNU and tipoff is set for 7:00 PM. Tickets are available at ClemsonTigers.com or by calling 1-800-CLEMSON.

Only 4 outs which is a shame but I'm not going to hold this against e-mu as this is supposed to be a economy model.
I wish creative/e-mu didn't have to drop the hardware line as these machines are much better than emulatorX

I installed this in about 2 hours in my 2000 FHLTP. The instructions were clear and precise and everything fit perfectly. I should note that my Cop Glide has a tour pack on it now with two Polk Audio db521 speakers in it as well. So, I have four speakers rather than just the two that come with the police package. I have straight pipes and with the two new Hogtunes speakers up front and the new Polks out back, I can still hear the music from the Sony N5000BT (which is a fantastic head unit by the way) loud and clear, even without an amplifier. The volume level on the Sony goes to 50 and I can hear everything clearly on the highway at a volume level of 30-35. Thank you Biketronics for making it so simple and offering such a high quality package at a great price.

If your thinking about installing one ot these packages its as advetised, turn key! It took about 2 hours and the direction where excellent and could not be any simplier. Go for it if your thinking about it you won't be disappointed... The sound & quality blew me away..I purchased the FHLTP package and Donna from customer service was great.

AMAZING!!! I went with the Sony S100, the 6.5" Titan speakers and the BT 454 amp. I hear the music loud and clear at 80 mph. Now I have stock pipes on a police bike but still, what an amazing sound. Much better than speakers on the bars with an iPod (I had sound of chrome speakers on my original bike). You will not go wrong with this product. Plus, I have no electrical knowledge and the instructions were so good that I was able to install this in about 2 1/2 hours. Great product!

Easey install, less than 1 hour total.
Easy upgrade, added XM in 25 minutes.
If you can cope with no thumb controlls this is the way to go for less than half the cost of anything else!!!

Phoenix Fire Department crews were able to contain a blaze in a central Phoenix apartment on Tuesday afternoon, a fire official confirmed.
At around 1:30 p.m., officials received a call that an apartment near 17th Avenue and Grant Street was on fire, said Capt. Benjamin Santillan, a Phoenix Fire spokesman.
Upon arrival, they found a small, single-story apartment in flames, Santillan said. They completed a search-and-rescue as well as a fire attack, finding no one inside.
Santillan said there were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. It wasn't clear if anyone was displaced in the incident.

Passwords can be a headache — especially when users need to remember more than one. That's why Miami Beach's IT Division—a 24-hour operation supporting police, fire and other public-service departments — recently deployed the OneSign Single Sign-On from Imprivata Inc. The identity- and access-management tool has a single sign-on feature so users don't have to manage and remember multiple passwords. If you're sitting there muttering, "Yes! Yes!" you should check out Government Computer News for details.
According to a recent survey by Marshal, the global provider of email- and gateway-security solutions, corporate breaches occur far more often when employees are stressed. Fortunately, now there's a solution. Marshal's new software release, DanceMarshal, relieves stress by encouraging employees to dance throughout the day by playing two minutes of toe-tapping pop music every two hours. This is no joke ... or is it? Consider the suspicious release date before placing an order.
With every report of children being sexually victimized through the Internet, security specialists have grown more determined to reverse the trend. Now, according to the BBC News, a new set of government proposals in Great Britain will require sex offenders to give police their email addresses — which will be passed along to social networking sites like Facebook and Bebo. Those sites would then be expected to monitor the offenders' email addresses and block them from contacting children.
Were you one of those people who watched "Live Free or Die Hard" and laughed at the silliness of the plot? Terrorists taking over the U.S. power grid, come on! Well, you may want to stop laughing. Last week at RSA Conference 2008 in San Francisco, Ira Winkler, president of security firm ISAG (Internet Securities Adviser Group), opened his presentation entitled "How to Take Down the Power Grid" by telling his listeners exactly how to break into a nuclear reactor. "Frankly," he said, "it's really easy to break into the power grid. It happens all the time." And this is no April Fool's joke. Read CNET News.com for all the alarming details.

Hi, my name is Alex Rybak. I'm currently an intern at AGI, and I have been working on the Insight3D team ever since I started here. I've had an interest in 3D graphics for a while, and working on Insight3D has given me a lot of opportunities to explore that area. Aside from my internship here, I am a full-time student at Drexel University, where I am studying for both a B.S. and an M.S. degree in Computer Science.
Display conditions are a very useful Insight3D feature that allow the user to specify when a primitive, globe overlay, or screen overlay is rendered. There are a number of different types of display conditions that can be used, and what's even better is that they can be combined and used together to create fancy rules for when to display an object. In this article, I will show some example uses of display conditions.
To start off, let's say we want to display a circle on the Earth around New York City when the camera is at an altitude of one million meters or less. For this, we assign the AltitudeDisplayCondition (which becomes active when the camera's altitude above the surface is within a specified interval) to a PolyLinePrimitive. Here is the code:
CentralBody earth = CentralBodiesFacet.GetFromContext().GetByName("Earth"); Cartographic newYork = new Cartographic(Trig.DegreesToRadians(-74), Trig.DegreesToRadians(40.75), 0); SurfaceShapesResult shape = SurfaceShapes.ComputeCircleCartographic(earth, newYork, 10000); PolylinePrimitive line = new PolylinePrimitive(shape.PolylineType, SetHint.Infrequent); line.Set(shape.Positions); line.Color = Color.White; AltitudeDisplayCondition condition = new AltitudeDisplayCondition(0, 1000000); line.DisplayCondition = condition; SceneManager.Primitives.Add(line);
As you can see in the images below, the circle is visible only when the camera is below this altitude.

Recently, my eightand 10-year-old children came to me and said, "Mom. We can't watch our favorite show. There's something on the TV about the channel not being available anymore. Are we in trouble?" Upon further inspection, I learned that DirectTV was in a pricing dispute with Viacom and had taken their channels off the air until it was resolved. What fascinated me about the communication approach being used by DirectTV was the short video that was playing over and over again. The star of the clip was DirectTV's own CEO, Mike White. Here's the clip: http://youtu.be/iqfTbB6soW8.
Executives: Are You Ready for Prime Time?
What struck me was the ease and on-camera confidence White displayed. The video itself is short, simple, and well-shot. But more important, White clearly comes across well -- and that can't be faked. In this time of transparency, where social media is the "new normal," I think executives should pay heed to what's coming their way; an expectation that they need to a) be good on camera, and, b) available to jump in front of one on a minute's notice. In fact, I foresee a future where, much like the American presidential race, the ability to speak in sound bites and leverage the spotlight will outweigh to some degree the ability to do the job. It's a sobering reality, but one that should be embraced instead of ignored. Here's why.
The King's Speech -- Radio Was the Original Social Media Revolution
In the epic movie, The King's Speech, we saw firsthand how radio forced a king to step up his ability to speak to his people. Radio was a form of social media that revolutionized communicating with the masses. Radio broadcasting brought a new level of responsibility for high-level officials with respect to being able to speak well. Fast forward to today and ask yourself: "Are social media tools like YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook any different?" They are no longer a novelty, but rather, important messaging tools used to spread the word and affect the opinions of millions and millions of people. In short, Mike White's approach is one we will see more and more of.
3 Ways Executives Can Prepare for This New Reality
In my executive branding practice, c-suite clients are encouraged to develop their camera savvy. I start by telling them to use Skype, Google Hangouts, and any other video-based conferencing tool they can -- as much as they can. In my experience, the more "air-time" executives get on these basic video-conferencing resources, the better. Not only do they get over the technology learning-curve of using them, but, as they get comfortable talking on-camera, they find it easier to adjust their style and approach to a point where they feel highly effective in this medium.
My second piece of advice is to have them purchase an inexpensive HD web camera and use it to record themselves answering questions. Just like mock-interviewing can help prepare a job seeker, the same technique can help an executive prepare for their day in the video spotlight. Finally, I encourage executives to search YouTube for video clips of top CEOs. High-profile executives have extensive resources behind them, including on-camera stylists and voice coaches. Pay attention to what they are wearing, what they are doing with their hands, how much facial expression they are displaying, what type of voice tone and pace they are using, as well as other key elements of their presentation. It's not hard to pick up small nuances to effectively communicating via video that can be incorporated into your own on-camera presence.
The sooner an executive develops their ability to jump on camera to comfortably and confidently share their views, the more likely they are to be selected for high-profile positions and to be the spokesperson in moments of incredible visibility. Don't make your first "live" video moment be one where you are unprepared to make a good impression. The likelihood of it being something critical (i.e. damage control, communications spin), is high, while your ability to knock it out of the park will be low.

Bus Trip to Peter's On30 Layout, Sunday 6-04-2014
It was a great day out on Sunday 6th. April. The bus left Phillip Island at 11 am. picking up Club members along the way to Leongatha. We had lunch at Mc.Donald's and then on to our destination, the On30 Layout designed and built by Peter Annison.
On30 is O scale trains running on HO track, this is real narrow gauge modelling, the track gauge is 30 inches, which equals 2 foot 6 inches; just the right size for Puffing Billy modelling! Here are some pictures of the outing.
A beautiful Afternoon Tea and then farewell until the next visit.

A Very Generous Donations to our Club by the Locke Family.
These pictures are of the Layout that was Donated to us by the Locke Family, late last year. The pictures were taken at our Train Show on the 11th. & 12th. of January 2014, as you can see we have added a nice blue skirt around it and a monument on the hill, in the back ground. One of our Members has taken it home to give it a bit of TLC until its next Show.
The Layout was built by Geoffrey Locke and he is very proud of it, as most of it is hand made. We would like to thank the Locke Family for their very generous donation.

Czech Republic, Northern Moravia, Opava Archive Church Books (FamilySearch Historical Records)
This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org. | |
Access the records: Czech Republic, Northern Moravia, Opava Archive Church Books, 1571-1905 .
Title in the Language of the Records
- Tschechische Republik, Nord Moravia, Opava Archiv Kirchenbücher 1571-1905.
Record Description
Entries are usually arranged in chronological order and, after 1784, in a columnar format. During certain times, one book was used to list all the baptisms, marriages, and burials for all the villages in a parish for one year. At other times each village has its own section of baptisms, marriages, and burials, which were listed chronologically. Some records are on preprinted forms, and most records include indexes.
Czech church records are usually in one of three languages: Czech, German, or Latin. Often, one parish consists of books written in all three. Records from one state regional archive (statní oblastní archive) may favor one or more languages. For example, records from Litoměřice are usually written in German or Latin. Records from Plzeň or Třeboň are usually written in Czech, German, and Latin equally.
A filmed security copy of each book is stored at each state regional archive, but because of poor film quality, some of these are unusable for research. Books from the early 1900s (even though they may have been started earlier) are still stored in local city halls or other institutions. The Family History Library does not have filmed copies of the books but did begin capturing the images digitally in 2007.
Czech church books are extremely reliable, more so than census and other records. Ages, birth dates, and birthplaces found in marriage and death entries are only as accurate as the informant's memory.
For a list of records by religion currently published in this collection, select the Browse link from the collection landing page.
The earliest Czech book was created in 1441 (a book of christenings from Horní Jiřetín). Books have been kept to the present, but because of privacy laws they are available for research only through 1905.
The edict of the Council of Trent in 1563, which mandated the creation of church books, applied to Czech congregations. Austrian Emperor Joseph II issued the Edict of Toleration on October 13, 1781, which allowed Protestants, Jews, and others to keep their own church records under the supervision of the Catholic Church. Though the Protestants were allowed to keep registers starting in 1771, they were copied into Catholic registers. In 1781, Protestants continued to keep registers under Catholic supervision.
Starting February 10, 1784, Joseph II required that all church birth entries include the full names of both parents and all grandparents, along with their towns of origin and their military conscription numbers or unique address, such as Plichtice č. 5 (č is an abbreviation for čislo, or "number"). The emperor also required that records be kept in Latin or German, though Czech was often used. Column headings, which had started around 1784 (sometimes earlier), became mandatory.
In 1790, the Austrian government (under which Czech records were kept) created a law requiring indexes to be kept. In 1802, another law was passed requiring all older matriky (church books) to be indexed. Only rarely are volumes not indexed.
Starting in 1869, the civil authorities took charge of the record-keeping of births, marriages, and deaths. However, individual churches continued to actually record these events. The official legal copy was kept by local officials when many of the clergy refused to perform Catholic rites for non-Catholics. Everyone was registered under this new system, not just those appearing in Catholic or Protestant registers.
The church books cover a majority of the population.
Church books were first created to identify those who had received church sacraments. After 1869, they were also used as an official record of vital events by civil authorities.

- Date and place of marriage (sometimes includes the time of marriage)
- Ages of the bride and groom
- Residence of the bride, groom, and their ancestors
- Religion of the bride and groom

Wow it sounds like music played a huge part. I don't understand how everybody could be listening to so much music without the use of mp3s and P2P networks? Was music a significant factor in your daily budget?
That's where nearly all of my disposable money went...to records. And without internet, part of the thrill was finally finding a certain record you'd been looking for months. And without email, I'd write labels, get a xeroxed "catalog", send them some money wrapped in tin foil, wait a few weeks/months, do a lot of hoping, then finally get a package one day. Needless to say, mix tapes were all the rage...trading with your friends back and forth.
Hanging out, listening to records, fighting, going to gigs.....the 80s fucking ruled. It's amazing how little has changed since then, as far as how I live my life. It's still about hanging out, listening to records, going to gigs, finding the right sartorial gear (back then it was scouring old tennis shops for Fred Perry shirts that were always too big)....just a bit less fighting (havent been punched in the face in 4 years!!)

Haha it was just ever so slight I gave an edge to the D2 Darryl :P maybe if I had had more time I may have come to a different conclusion, who knows.
I'm sad to see the D2 go as well, but that's the march of progress. I can't wait to hear the Hex if you actually end up getting one, I need to hear some of that metrum magic everyone keeps talking about. I was trying to get a quad as my d2 replacement but I guess it wasnt meant to be
Yeah - still thinking about the HEX. However, one of these has to go first.. I want to experence a NOS DAC for myself.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Riding
- - I'm new to riding...And I need some advice
I'm new to riding...And I need some advice I'm new to riding, and I don't want to start out on the wrong techniques with my horse. She'll allow me to set on her and will stand still without being tied, and I have broke her myself, and she seems to trust me more than anyone else. Lately, I've been training her with reins, and teaching her left and right, and when to stop, by pulling back gently on them, without riding her. If she'll allow me to ride her and do all this without running me over, do you think I can try riding her and just not setting on her back? Because when shes resting her ears, I tend to think she's pulling them all the way back. Plus, I have ridden her before, just not controlling her. Plus, we don't have a corral to ride in, and the 'pasture' we have now is muddy... From all the rain, and it has tree's in it. So I'd get hit in the head with a branch or something. I REALLY need some advice if what I said is okay for training and if she'd maybe let me really ride her. |
I wouldn't get on her unless you have confined area to ride her in. Preferably a round pen. HELMET! I'm having a bit of trouble understanding your post but it sounds like you can have her turn left and right with a bit as well as stop and that she listens. I would take it a step farther and ground drive her. Have two lunge lines. Connect one to one ring of the bit on one side and the other lunge line to the other bit ring. Run the lunge lines through the stirrups of your saddle on her. Have you had a saddle on her? Let her experience a saddle first before you do this. Stand about 15 to 20 feet behind her with a lung line. You can be behind her or slightly off to the center of the arena. Use voice commands to encourage her forward and a slight tap on the butt with the whip if she doesn't understand. Use the lunge lines to steer her left and right and to stop and back up. |
Don't you have someone to help you? or at least be with you when you get on for the first time.? Dont' do this alone, and an enclosed space is important. no rush. |
New to riding AND teaching the horse? Oh, that is not really a good combination. I recommend you have somebody help you out so as to teach the right commands to the horse and learn your self how to ride. How old is the horse? |
@ Lenuccia: I've read a bunch of riding books about teaching her and about teaching me how to ride. But it seems like no one in my family ever has time for me :| I swear, they never have time for anything involving me. And I've also had a rider thats ridden her whole life give me some information. She's 3 years old. And I just built a new corral before I read this, and its working great. Not a fancy one, but it will do. Just the right size for a beginner. @ Tinylily: I haven't been rushing her ;) I've took this slowly. I've taught her to stand still while I mount her, and not go anywhere until I nudge her side a little bit. @ GeminiJumper: I always wear a helmet when I mount a horse (I have ridden a few times) just in case I would happen to fall off on my head. But I mostly land like a cat on all fours when I fall off anything. But I know a helmet is needed. Also, I'm going to ride Western, and in the shows, they don't wear anything but cowboy and cowgirl hats. Maybe its because your less likely to fall off in western saddles? I've never been in a western saddle before. And you also got the reins part right. I do not have a saddle, but we're getting one in a few more weeks. Everyone's information I'm proud to share about Flower: Today a lady we know thats ridden a ton of horses, and is very experienced, came out today and rode her. At first she gave a small buck, not even enough to launch her forward or to hurt anyone, just raising her back hooves up about an inch from the ground, then relaxed. I walked her around the little corral I built, then let the lady take over. She did very well with voice commands, and the reins when she was told what to do. Until we got out to where the tall grass was, and she didn't want to listen to anybody, just wanted to eat the grass. She never tried to buck the lady off, though, which was a good sign, because finally she pulled back on the reins, not enough to hurt her, and she came up and got the signal that the person on her back didn't want her to do this, and just trotted on. Its a good thing I have a lane, away from the grass and the road, to walk on solid ground. I'm thinking I only need a bit of training with her.. Because the way she acted, obedient and calm today, she has to have been ridden before. Unless she learned by herself or something. Happy to annouce that! |
would it be possible to hire the lady to train the horse for you? or atleast assist you? and if I were you, I'd sign up for some lessons pronto, and learn as much as you can. also.. you could mow the tall grass so she won't be so tempted to eat.(: best of luck! |
Yes, thats what I'm going to do tomorrow, Kate! :) We don't have much money to afford lessons, and the lady has already agree'd to come help me train my horse, for no cost :) But she's mainly going to work with me AND the horse, so Flower will be used to me riding her. She'll school me in what to do. |
Sounds like you are doing a good progress with her, and it's great someone will be helping out. :-) As for a little training... If you just plan on trail riding and messing with horse it's not such a big deal. But if you plan to progress to something else (like dressage, or jumping, or western pleasure, or ....) you'll need to work with the good trainer in that discipline later on. |
Just get yourself some good help there and then. It's a really, really bad combination with a young horse and a new rider. The risk you'l get injured for life is huge. But you have made a good progress. Just make sure to have someone with a good hand and knowledge of horses with you and you might pull it off. Wear a helmet, and wile you're at it, get used to wearing a safety vest too. I never used one, I started too late and can't get myself used to them now ;) But at least wear a helmet. Starting with trailriding (and whoever said that's a not a big deal can't have been trailriding young horses very much, there's tons of things to get afraid of for the horse! It might not take a whole lot of exact riding with cues and seat that will be judged by others, but it does take a lot of everything else and the horse still has to kow what you mean with everything), anyway, trailriding is good once you got the basics down. But have someone walk with you at least the first few times. Getting an instructor is a good idea no matter what you'll do, it will help you to ''answer right'' when the horse ask you things. Horses usually try stuff and that's the question to ''was this right?'' or ''I don't understand!''. If the horse does something, you probably asked it to do that, even if you don't know that yourself. |

Triangle Draw Review
Price: $2.99
Version: 1.1
App Reviewed on: iPad 2
iPad Integration Rating:
User Interface Rating:
Re-use / Replay Value Rating:
Overall Rating:
Drawing apps let users make an unlimited amount of creative designs, but most require some sort of artistic talent. Developers of Triangle Draw hoped to solve this problem by making an easy-to-use drawing application for both the newbie and skilled artist alike. While Triangle Draw falls short at making incredibly awesome designs, it is a neat drawing tool that isn't just a clone of another popular app.
Triangle Draw is different from other drawing apps because it only lets users create images using triangles. Solely using triangles gives users the ability to create interesting hexagonal shapes, logos and patterns without the need for artistic skill. Instead, the app focuses on creativity and ingenuity.
Once users open Triangle Draw on their iPad, they can immediately begin creating images. Touching on the New Drawing button opens a blank canvas. Tapping on the screen creates one triangle, and touching on that triangle erases it from the screen. Users can also drag their finger across the screen to create interesting shapes and lines.
Everything users draw on the canvas is also displayed in two symmetry areas on the screen, which helps budding artists get an idea of what their artwork looks like when split in half around an axis. Interestingly enough, users can flip the X and Y axis and even invert the black and white colors. Finished drawings may then be saved to the app or exported via Email or Camera Roll.
Triangle Draw doesn't come without flaws, which hold it back from being a superb drawing tool. For example, the graphics are not impressive and look fuzzy. While the developers may have been aiming for a retro look, most users want a high quality app when they are shelling out $2.99. Also, the app only comes with two boring colors: black and white. The addition of more colors would open up a realm of creative possibilities. The last feature that this app lacks is the option to share images via social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.
I really wanted to love this app due to its ingenious interface, but the flaws outweighed the positives. With a few adjustments to the app, the developers could potentially have a drawing app to compete with the growing number of others in the App Store. If users dig the retro style and wish to create geometrical drawings and logos, this may be the perfect app for them. Triangle Draw apparently is not for everyone, but it does have potential for artists of all types.

Im searching for some family history on the Hodge family for my Grandmother. My grandmother is named Mayola Potter but was born Mayola Hodge around 1915-1925. Her mother was named Orline hodge and was born @June 3, 1894 in NYC, NY. Her mother had 2 sisters (Corliss and Teresa)and 3 brothers (Alfred, Leonard and another one). Orlines mother was Mary Hodge and her father was George Hodge, Mary had two sisters named Josephine and Emma. Apparently George was deceased at an early age. All of the family appears to have resided in NYC, NY.
Thanks for your help.

Come Christmas, we think of Mother England. We imagine a Dickensian idyll of puddings and plaid, hot toddies and roast beef. Imagine our surprise to discover we could create this in Phoenix: tea, fireplace and all.
Chef Chris Curtiss of Phoenix hot spot Noca dreamed up a menu that would do the queen proud, while decor maven Michael Hansen from the French Bee set a table worthy of Balmoral Castle.
And for party favors, might we suggest sending each guest home with the makings for a proper spot of tea? It's a jolly good ending to a lovely Christmas fest, indeed.
There must be hot toddies, to be sure. To make, pour 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) bourbon, 1 tablespoon honey and 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice in a mug, and top with 1/4 cup boiling-hot water. Glass mug, $2.99 at Cost Plus World Market, Guess coat, $149 at Dillard's, and knit beret, $38 at Anthropologie. For store locations, visit costplus.com, dillards .com and anthropologie.com.
Balmoral? No, Biltmore. We found a Phoenix home that looks a lot like a British Isles abode, and Hansen made it party-perfect. Those Brits are always dining by the fire, it seems, so Hansen pulled a table close and went to work. An antler bowl centerpiece filled with flowers and feathers sets the mood, $325, and antler candelabra adorn the fireplace, $75, all at the French Bee. The red damask tablecloth is $495, and the plaid stag pillows are $85, also at the French Bee. Dinnerware details, FD3. The red plaid dress is from target.com, $39.99. The French Bee is at 2324 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix, 602-955-4158, thefrenchbee.com.
Toile napkins, feather-handled flatware and a dome worthy of a butler make for the perfect place setting, created by Hansen. The quill-handled flatware is $45 for a five-piece place setting at Pottery Barn. The napkins are $32 for four at Williams-Sonoma. The white dinner plate, $12, blue and white Mottahedeh dessert plate, $45, blue and white Mottahedeh bowl, $55, glass dome, $25, etched goblet, $12, and horn napkin ring, $12, are all from the French Bee. For store locations, visit potterybarn.com and williams-sonoma.com.
Send guests home with proper party favors: a cup of tea for the morning after. We filled a vintage teacup with the makings of the perfect cup: Twinings tea, $1.79, a tea strainer, $1.99, and raspberry conserve for toast or scones, $1.49, all from Cost Plus World Market.
You can't have a British meal without a bit of Stilton. Curtiss paired this iconic English cheese with chicory, heirloom radishes, croutons and honey vinaigrette.
The British call every dessert "pudding," but this version really deserves the name. Curtiss topped his butterscotch pudding with creme fraiche and a slick of caramel you'll be dreaming about days later.
A single seared scallop paired with parsley and a port wine reduction is Curtiss' idea of the best way to start the evening. Note: This dish comes in Christmas colors.
The English get all dreamy thinking of meat in the oven, and Yorkshire pudding on the side to sop up the juices. Curtiss gave this classic menu a twist. Behold, roast prime rib eye with creamed spinach, glazed carrots and turnips. And yes, that's Yorkshire pudding, updated with garlic confit. Noca is at 3118 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix, 602-956-6622.
This meal wouldn't be properly British without a touch of curry. Curtiss topped roasted butternut squash soup with curried creme fraiche, crispy pancetta and local olive oil.
We found a Phoenix home that looks a lot like England, and Michael Hansen from the French Bee made it party-perfect.

It's Friday and one of the last weekends of summer. What better time to take your game to another level and nothing works the hand eye coordination skillz like a little lax while riding a thousand pound animal. Get to know polocrosse:
Polocrosse is an international sport…started as a training exercise for learning horse riders during off-seasons, when they weren't working on their more vigorous routines. Think of it as Victorian cross-training.
– Polo and Lacrosse sports combine and go extreme; and it's all just across the river | ChisagoCountyPress.com
Wikipedia makes it sound boring but put Rabil on a horse and I bet he shoots 211 mph a'la the Old Spice man:
Polocrosse… is played outside, on a field (the pitch), on horseback. Each rider uses a cane stick to which is attached a racquet head with a loose, thread net, in which the ball is carried. The ball is made of sponge rubber and is approximately four inches across. The objective is to score goals by throwing the ball between the opposing team's goal posts.
Lax equipment ain't cheap but it's nothing compared to a training tool of the equestrian variety. Do like our buddy Marcus says:

Posted on 05/25/2013 11:28:42 AM PDT by Gosh I love this neighborhood
Clothes litter the parking lot where four people were shot during a pre-prom gathering for Saginaw High School near the Florence Event Hall, 110 Florence in Saginaw, Thursday, May 23, 2013. A 17-year-old girl died. Three other women, ages 18, 19 and 39 were injured during the shooting and were receiving treatment at a local hospital.
(Excerpt) Read more at beaumontenterprise.com ...
I'm still amazed that there's more than one Saginaw in the USA.
Sadly, I'm not surprised.
Tonquinisha isn't an Amish name.
Or American Indian (Hekawi)
You have a 17 year old who is a sophmore, thinking kind of old for a sophmore, and a 39 year old, was she a senior??? Hard to follow all of this crap anymore.
BTW, the 17 year old who died was a Sophomore! (Maybe the youngest in her class?)
39?? and her parents were okay with this?
Quen'Tavia Henry was one of the party's attendees.
What more needs to be said?
If zer0 had a son/daughter. Yatta yatta yatta...
...Named Shi' Thead.
I am too. I should have mentioned that it was Saginaw, Mi. There are quite a few shootings there.
"Every year, we usually have an incident of some sort," he said. "Last year, we had shots fired. The year before, we had a fight. ... Nothing good comes from it."
Three women, ages 18, 19 and 39, were taken to a hospital for treatment. Police said their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening."
Four teenagers were shot at a student prom event. One was killed. Last year shots were fired at a similar event. Every year thugs operate with impunity.
The shooters, and other high school aged thugs, had no problem obtaining illegal guns despite strict gun laws. There is no attempt to enforce the law and make students safe.
The 17-year old may have started school a year late... i am assuming the 39-year old is a the mother of one of the prom goers...
Evidently this was a separate party, eight miles from where the prom was held.
I was wondering how they could hold the prom even if they wanted to, if the police put tape all around the place. But evidently this was some kind of gangsta parking lot party preceding the prom—which students had been warned not to attend.
I was 17 when I GRADUATED high school.
"Every year, we usually have an incident of some sort," he said. "Last year, we had shots fired. The year before, we had a fight. ... Nothing good comes from it."
Rough town.
Yes, as were both of my daughters, sounds like it was Party time, no matter your age.
That's a news headline that keeps on giving!
I don't think there should be such a thing as proms, and definitely not associated with public schools. Let parents organize and run them.
The top 60 ghetto names.
Tonquinisha McKinley
I think she had access to too many food stamps.....
Are those skulls on her prom dress?
Amish or TEA party?
I'd guess the 39 yo was a grandmother or great grandmother.....
I'm sorry for her family's loss.
But, SKULLS in lace??
Maybe it was a zombie themed prom?
Kids like this never have a chance. The decline of our society is so sad.
There is also an area in Texas close to Dallas/Ft. Worth that is named Saginaw.
exactly, lie down with dogs....
My God! Whatever she's eating I know that somehow my taxes are paying for it. She's the 17 year old Michelin Tire woman
This story is from Texas, at least that's were the site is from.
Just another one of those minority children who "goes to bed hungry every night"
Clicking on the link indicates this was in TX.
SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) A 17-year-old girl fatally shot in a parking lot before a prom was a sophomore at Saginaw High School, an official said Friday.
well, MI makes more sense
The report is from a Texas site, however it did happen in the town near me and it was Saginaw, Mi.
The town was renamed Saginaw in 1882 by Jarvis J. Green, who had lived and worked on Saginaw Street in Pontiac, Michigan. The name Saginaw comes from the Ojibwe language and means "to flow out."
I can't pronounce her first name..but at least she comes from good Irish stock
Black Irish.
Article says it is Saginaw, Michigan. It is from the AP. Maybe someone in TX got mixed up. Or maybe sister cities. Saginaw, TX may be rough town too, but it is not a boarder town so I doubt it comes close to Saginaw. Saginaw is mini Detroit. BTW there is a Saginaw, Alabama too. Of the three the latter likely the best.
Tonquinisha ... like "Tonkin Gulf." Maybe someone in the family tree was a Vietnam vet.
Its a pretty curious name to be found in such diverse places. What Wiki says about Saginaw Michigan.
The name Saginaw is widely believed to mean "where the Sauk were" in the Ojibwe language, possibly in reference to the Sauk tribe who lived at the mouth of the river. Another possible explanation is that it originated from "Sace-nong" or "Sak-e-nong" (English: Sauk Town) because the Sauk people once lived there, or from Chippewa words meaning 'place of the outlet' from "sag" (English: opening), and "ong" (English: place of).
The Tonkin Gulf, another black spot in history where lies were perpetrated to create a justification to send our soldiers to war?
Looks like Saginaw Texas is named after Saginaw Mi. (Originally named Dido)
From Wiki
The town was renamed Saginaw in 1882 by Jarvis J. Green, who had lived and worked on Saginaw Street in Pontiac, Michigan.[1] The name Saginaw comes from the Ojibwe language and means "to flow out." It is also the name of a river, a bay, and a city in Michigan.

Package: yodl (3.00.0-6)
Your Own Document Language (Yodl) is a pre-document language
Yodl is a package that implements a pre-document language and tools to process it. The idea of Yodl is that you write up a document in a pre-language, then use the tools (e.g. yodl2html) to convert it to some final document language. Current converters are for HTML, man, LaTeX SGML and texinfo, a poor-man's text converter and an experimental xml converter. Main document types are "article", "report", "book", "manpage" and "letter". The Yodl document language was designed to be easy to use and extensible.

Cold Blooded Gardening
Please, we beg you: while trimming your hedges, watch out for the tiny dinosaurs that hide within.
A million, billion years ago, the thunder lizards walked the Earth. Tiny rodents hid in hedges as the dinosaurs trimmed their lawns and topiaries. Today, it is Man who rules, while the T-Rexes and pteranodons scurry back beneath the porches of suburbia, biding their time and praying they are never seen.
Yes, Virginia, the dinosaurs live. And it is your duty as a homeowner to protect them. Why? For future generations, of course! Do you want your great-grandchildren to live in a world where exciting lawn dinosaurs are only IMAGINARY??
So please, when using the Tanaka Dual Handle Brush Cutter, take a moment to rustle the limbs and shake the long grasses and see what runs away. Fire up the two-stroke engine and let it rev, so the dinosaurs can be startled and flee.
After all, they once did the same for us, when we were just nervous lemurs in the trees. It's only right we repay the favor.
