Dear Preppers and Survivalists,

New Position
It's going well, as expected. I'm overwhelmed, working hard, getting stuff done, and missing my family. In other words, ... The same ol' stuff.
The rumours are flying about the old position and the future, so I'm glad I left when I could.

New Washer
Home Away From Home's washer shot craps a few months ago. Since I could wash clothes at work, I didn't do anything about it. The apartment mate's solution was to use a laundromat then go get breakfast and a drink while his clothes wash and dry, every Saturday.
Great idea for him; bad idea for me.
So, ... Off to find a used washing machine with delivery and set up.
It didn't work out because we live in a small town. Off to buy a new washing machine for $503 with a five year protection plan, just in case.
Ahh, clean clothes.
The Plan
My plan, at the beginning of the year was to stay focused on one subject, each month.
I may need to abandon that plan, as you can see from earlier this week. Just in case you didn't notice, no pictures for the Wednesday blurbs. Plus, only one cheesy entry.

Down Sizing
It's been all over the blogs, that I read; older folks are looking to buy smaller houses. On the east and west coast, I have seen that younger folks can't afford houses, so they are renting apartments or leasing homes.
I don't know how landlords are doing it, unless they inherited the house or bought the house cheap, because rents should cover all the landlord's costs, extra money for upkeep, and a little for the landlord's pocket.
When I comes to older adults, I have gone through a similar situation.
At work, I had two lockers for all my work emergency gear, winter coats, bib overalls, polypro long johns, cot with blankets, sheets, and pillow cases, three day supply of water and food, rain gear, and other stuff.
The new place, nada. We don't work when it's snowing, sleeting, or freezing rain. Heck, I think we get a 'free' day for 1/2 an inch of snow. We'll see.
Back to my point.
First, I think we are going to have to move to where the jobs are. Yep, ... That means the big cities because they are the economic drivers of the economy. Some of us are going to have to swallow our 'pride' and work for .gov, in some capacity. Lastly, some of us are going to need to start 'family' businesses to survive and prosper.
Second, "If" you and your family decide to live in small town U.S.A., you're going to have to embrace small town life, poverty, drug addiction, low academic standards. ...
Ooops, ... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wreck your perception of the rest of America, but small towns and medium sized cities have the same problems as the big cities. You can't get away from slackers, even during the collapse.
Just so you know, our county has had four or five murders this year, usually drugs are involved.
Third, this may be the time to start doubling up. Yep, that means the parents embrace their children's return home (with the understanding, the younger adults are going to significantly contribute, to the household), or the children embrace the parent's living in their home, also contributing to the new family.
If not now, definitely start planning for someone to move in because it just might happen, Baby Boomers ; - )
Fourth, either way, really think about what you do for a living and plan accordingly.
Take a college education. Do you really need one to work?
Depending on the field, probably; however, some fields don't require a college education, like water or wastewater treatment plant operator, electrical utility lineman, natural gas worker, refinery worker, firefighter, police officer, and many others.
These careers and some others will keep a family fed during tough times. With 'normal' expectations, they will allow a family to have a 'good' life and retire.
With expanding inexpensive automation, working a manufacturing line job is waiting for a pink slip. The same goes for other careers, even professional careers. Heck, a 'bot recently wrote a baseball game review for a national paper.
Needless to say, the truly 'Rich and Famous' will always need the latest ... cool, unique, expensive, rare, fashionable, ... experience/item, so give them what they want, for a price.
Think about becoming a farmer. No, not the big corporate farmer, the small specialty farmer that grows and sells items like U-Pick berries and fruit and also has 'events' or 'outings' for big city dwellers, for a price.
Lastly, don't discount the military. They are hiring. Plus, they have good benefits, provide money for an education, and many other things. Plus, they hold dear many of the values you and your family do, honesty, education, loyalty, ...
Be warned, they have slackers, just like everywhere else.
And, ... There is that whole possibility of getting maimed or killed on the job, thingy.

Fifth, having a safe and secure shelter is more important then most people think. You and your family need to have a secure place to store all the supplies and stuff that will keep you alive; for the events that you're getting prepared for, of course, and the ones you're not ; - )
In other words, ... Complete a Threat Analysis
Lastly, I want to bring this around to the beginning. You and your family are going to be overwhelmed, working hard, getting stuff done, and a lot of other things, to get prepared for the tough times ahead.
Just remember, you are doing this for your family and with your family, so get out there and practice your bushcraft skills, for making a ...
Fire and Shelter ; - )

Kevin Newman II was born on December 2, 1991 in Los Angeles, California. Newman was introduced to the sport of boxing at the early age of 3 when his mother gave him his first pair of boxing gloves that read "Boom" on one and "Pow" on the other. He went around throwing punches at walls, stuffed animals, and pillows. At this point his father decided it was time for him to take on a heavy bag. While his siblings curled up in front of the TV to watch their favorite cartoons, Newman watched Mike Tyson battling it out in the ring and Sylvester Stallone running up the steps in his gray track suit as the character "Rocky". Every since then, his life has been dedicated to the sport of boxing.
Newman officially took up the sport at the age of 9 when he moved to Las Vegas—the boxing capital of the world. He immediately began training with Jeff Mayweather at a local gym. Newman later went on to train at the famed Mayweather Boxing Club in 2009. In 2013, after returning to the ring from an injury and having tommy john surgery, Newman went on to win the Ringside National Championship. Throughout 2013 his reign of victories continued as he was crowned the champion of the Golden Gloves and USA tournaments—winning the state title for 3 years in a row 2011-2013. Having 30 fights as an amateur with a record of 25-5, Newman proved to be an unstoppable force when going against the odds and overcoming any obstacles in his path.
Newman's talent didn't go unnoticed by Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather took attention to Newman's skills and technique in the ring as an amateur. He eventually offered Newman a contract to join the growing stable of Mayweather Promotions' fighters in the summer of 2014. Newman made his professional debut on September 13, 2014 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on the Mayweather vs. Maidana II undercard, where he went head-to-head against Azamat Umarzoda. The bout resulted in a draw. Newman knew that he was given an opportunity that many others may never see in their careers and he didn't come out victorious. He used this as motivation to work harder and not take anything for granted. He has gone on to win his next four fights over the past year, and currently holds a professional record of 4-0-1 with one KO.
If he wasn't a boxer, Newman says he would have wanted to be a wrestler. His advice to someone wanting to pursue the sport of boxing is "to make sure this is something you definitely want to do, it's a dangerous sport, make sure you give 110% every day."
Newman's motto is to "do the right thing." His keys to success are staying focused, training hard, and living a healthy lifestyle. When Newman isn't in the ring, he likes to play video games and spend as much time possible with his biggest inspiration, his son. The best advice that he has been given has come from his mother, who has always told him to keep God first, live out your dreams, and be the best person you can be inside and outside of the ring. Newman's love for defeating the competition and passion for the sport inspires him to be victorious every time he comes face-to-face with his opponents. When asked what it feels like to win, he stated that, "He loves the feeling and it reminds him that his constant hard work is paying off."
Newman is looking forward to collecting more wins in hopes of one day achieving his ultimate goal of becoming a world champion and an icon in the sport. He takes boxing very seriously, emphasizing that putting your heart into the sport is what truly matters.

Getting More Minorities and Women Into Science
Today I read a post by See Jane Compute on diversity. This topic is one of my passions. As of yet, I really haven't had the chance to influence this area, other than serving as a role model, and writing this blog.
I entirely agree that it is really difficult to get underrepresented groups into the science, technology, math, and engineering fields (STEM). I'd like to talk a little about my experiences in this area.
My mom is a chemist and my dad is an MS physicist. Most of my family is in engineering or medicine. I have two aunts who are engineers and three uncles. You could say that my family is supportive of women in STEM. I have always been interested in science and engineering and my family has always been encouraging. When I was 10 I wanted to be a meteorologist, 12 an ichthyologist, 15 an engineer, 16 a chemical engineering, and low and behold I am!
When I was entering my senior year of high school I had to make some choices. I was in yearbook, french, and AP science, and math. I wanted to take AP chem and AP physics. To do this, I needed to drop either yearbook or french. I decided to drop french to allow me two take both sciences. I was also enrolled in AP english and AP BC calc. My counselor thought that it might be too 'hard' to take two sciences in the same year. She advised me to drop AP chem and continue with french. I told her, "look I want to be an engineer. I'm going to college next year. If I can't handle two sciences and a math now, I'm in big trouble." Reluctantly, they let me take both sciences. I made all A's.
The point is that I did not receive encouragement. The counselors thought that I couldn't handle a load that was inconsequential compared to a standard college load. When it came time to apply for colleges, I applied to MIT. I think I might have been the first one (at least in years) to do so. The counselors again thought that I was 'aiming too high.' I was accepted (although I didn't attend for financial reasons). They were really shocked. But the only reason that I was successful, was because of the constant support of my family. If I had not had this backing, I am quite sure I would probably be a linguistics major or something. [nothing wrong with linguistics. I actually love it.]
In undergrad, I received a great deal of support from society of women engineers. We were really quite a group. The older students set up tutoring for the younger ones. We hung out together. We went to national conferences together. The recent grads helped get jobs for the graduating seniors. It was something else. Many of those from my network went on to grad school and are beginning faculty positions like myself. This support made my success possible, because I felt comfortable in the environment, because of the other women supporting me.
In grad school, my advisor was a woman. I had a mentor who was a senior professor with four children from newborn to age 10. I participated in preparing future faculty programs and WEPAN. I had support at every turn. Even when I had my children, which is a bit unusual, my colleagues were nothing but supportive and happy. [well mostly, a few of the male profs did make some offhanded remarks.]
Despite all my fears that I won't achieve tenure, can't maintain work life balance, and will never see my children, I am a 'success' story. To achieve this, I had extraordinary amounts of support. Unfortunately, the environment for women and minorities is hostile [see my post just what is the bias against women in science]. Each student that we ferry through the pipeline will require someone at every step of the way saying you can do this, others have done this, other women/minorities, this is your place, you are normal. And that, as Jane said, is hard.

Synopsis: This evaluation study moved beyond research focused on effectiveness of evidence-based treatments in more restrictive settings to assess the effectiveness of such treatments in community mental health settings where complex clinical situations regularly confront practitioners. Measures were collected at intake and at eighth or termination sessions under three different treatment conditions including two involving empirically demonstrated approaches and one with no model or approach being specified. Results suggest that evidence-based approaches are more effective, (p<.05).

Great Bizczar Sinista Compact
- Artist: The Bizczar Sinista
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 8/3/2004
|your cart is empty
The Bizczar Sinista developed a love for Hip Hop culture dating back to the 1980's. It all started after his cousin took him to the Hip Hop concerts Fresh Fest 1 & 2. He also was a loyal listener to the underground hip hop formats on the University of Chicago's WHPK radio station, and would record the shows to stay current with the trends. As a youth he attended the Singapore American School in Singapore and there became a student of the performing arts. After returning to Chicago and the years past he attended Hillcrest High School in Country Club Hills, Illinois. He was a class clown that wrote for the school newspaper, played sports, a member of the marching & concert band worked at a few record stores, and was a member of Junior Acheivement's program at WGCI radio in Chicago. The Junior Acheivement program at WGCI radio provided students in good academic standing the opportunity to learn the mechanics and participate in the full operation of a broadcast station. This included the development of program logs, establishing sales accounts, creating commercials, and broadcasting as a on air announcer. Other tasks were assisting in the production of formats for some of the biggests names in Chicago radio such as Tom Joyner, Doug Banks, Ramonski Luv and Disco Dave. Because of his good performance in the Junior Acheivement program, Ramonski Luv and Disco Dave would invite him to co-host and produce a Hip Hop format called the 'Rap Down' during it's early stages. After the conclusion of the Junior Acheivement program, he continued to work part time at several Chicagoland record stores and stayed in pursuit of a career in the Entertainment industry by staying active in Chicago's Hip Hop community. Several years later he contributed to a local music publication 'Jam Sessions' writing music reviews and interviewing established & rising recording artists and producers. He completed an album 'The Course Lessons In Rhymes' with friend and producer Johnny Holliday of Absoloot Beatz and did intern work for Warner/Elektra/Atlantic (WEA) Sony Music, Def Jam Records, Tommy Boy Records, and several companies that focused on street promotions. He was casted by Sharon King Casting for a supporting role in the Simone Nissan film 'Reasons'. This film starred the late Comedian/Actor Bernie Mac (who he played the younger chracter of), Actress/Model Lisa Raye, MC Eiht of Compton's Most Wanted, and Chicago broadcasting legend Bonnie Deshong. The film was directed by Monty Ross, who has produced many Spike Lee films. The movie was never released but it was Monty Ross that influenced Bizczar to enroll in Columbia College Chicago as a student of film and the performing arts. He joined C.U.M.A. and C.O.R.E., two organizations supporting students and locals trying to make in the Entertainment industry. During this time he was asked by Massive and DJ Equalizer, friends from the Chicago Hip Hop crew 'The Illstate Assassins', to co-host a bi-weekly format on the University of Chicago's radio station WHPK. The show would last 3 years so Bizczar would reconnect with another member of The Illstate Assassins, DJ and Producer Riot One of Sound Scandalz Entertainment. He and Riot One would completed Bizczar's debut album 'The Great Bizczar Sinista'. The 9 song released would do well in the underground market so Bizczar decided to record a 2nd album titled 'Battle Plans'. This album included production from Riot One, Chicago's DJ Clash Titan, Johnny Holliday and The Bizczar Sinista. The Bizczar Sinista has used all his knowledge and is stepping his game up for another run. He has completed a 3rd & 4th album and will market the material differently between now and next year. Some of the producers enlisted for the projects were The Vinyl Frontiers (from The Netherlands), Riot One, Johnny Holliday of Absoloot Beats, DJ Clash Titan and The Bizczar Sinista. He also completed some material with Chicago Hip Hop legend and B-Boy Stedy Serv.

There is little time for sitting and writing these days; they go by so fast I sometimes don't see a computer screen at all. We are having big and small adventures, carpe diem-ing all over Ottawa. As a matter of administration, I wanted to share that I'm participating in a Yukon Blog Carnival, which is essentially a fun way to increase traffic to Yukon blogs. (See picture at bottom of right-hand sidebar and read more about it here). It requires something of a commitment from my writing habits, which is really a good thing this summer. I need a bit of structure, I think. So I am committing to blogging on here at least twice a week, more if the mood so strikes. Thanks for the prompt, blog carnival!
In other news, if you consider what I'm doing on vacation in Ottawa 'news', we've been outside a lot. We've been swimming (which is still a novelty to me after a few Yukon summers), picking strawberries, going to parks, going for walks, and sitting on the front porch blowing grape-scented bubbles. I have been home a lot with the babies who have taken to waking me throughout the night, just for kicks. Then, I have inevitably become a kind of tired/whiny wifey that makes Rich prompt me to go out by myself for a few hours. This usually fixes everything. Yesterday I escaped to get fresh food at the market and chocolate-peanut butter ice cream at Baskin Robbins.
We are eating gourmet burgers at The Works, strawberries by the pint, pizza delivered to my house for under $20, whole foods at The Wild Oat and Beavertails.
Vive le summer.

Anil Ambani-led Reliance Power Ltd on Monday said it has been permitted to charge the Madhya Pradesh government 7% more for power sold from its ultra-mega power project (UMPP) in Sasan.
The tariff hike, which translates to 9 paise per unit, will fetch an extra Rs.300 crore every year, the company said in a BSE filing. The company's power purchase agreement with Madhya Pradesh runs for 25 years.
CERC has also granted a one-time compensation of Rs.271 crore till 31 July 2015, Reliance Power said.
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has approved a so-called change-in-law petition, the company said. Change in law refers to the right of the company to pass on any increase in cess duties after the project became operational.
Reliance Power subsidiary Sasan Power Ltd is implementing the 4000 megawatt (MW) UMPP in Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh. The company said the plant is operating at 100% plant load factor (PLF).
Reliance Power had in 2013 filed two petitions seeking increased compensation for the Sasan UMPP. In one of the petitions, the company has sought compensation considering a "change in law" during the construction period. In the second petition, it has asked for a compensation on account of unforeseen depreciation in rupee. While CERC has approved the first petition, there is no update on the second petition yet, according to a Reliance Power spokesperson.
"The CERC order clearly establishes the principles of Change in Law in line with the terms of the power purchase agreement between Sasan Power Ltd and procurers, which will also ease pass-through of future change in law impacts of Sasan UMPP," the filing said.
The CERC order shows that Reliance Power had claimed relief citing changes in electricity duty on sale of power, higher electricity duty on auxiliary power consumption and energy development cess of Rs.0.15 per unit.

NZXT USB driver error
usb driver error indication is detected from the device manager and the display of pump and LED custom function disappears from CAM Please tell me the solution method!
If you are using a Kraken X42/X52/X62 and CAM is not detecting the device. You can try these troubleshooting steps.
Go into Control Panel and click on "View Devices and Printers" then remove the NZXT USB Device/Unknown USB Device and restart your PC. Then check CAM again.
If you still see a Unknown USB Device, then it seems that the USB cable is creating a bad connection to the motherboard. You can try using a different USB cable to check and see if the USB cable that came with the package is faulty. You can use a mini to regular USB cable and route it to the back of your case to test this issue. If the cable is the issue, please contact our support team over at https://www.nzxt.com/customer-support to look for a replacement USB cable.
Try shutting off your PC, then plug the USB cable to a different USB header on your motherboard
This is to check if the USB port on the motherboard is working correctly.
If you have any of the following programs below, they can come into conflict with CAM :
Precision X, Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming, RGB Fusion, Asus Aura, MSI Mystic, Afterburner, Corsair Link. We will be working in future versions to improve compatibility between the different software programs.
Try turning off your PC and turn off your PSU for 10 seconds, then turn your PSU and PC back on and check CAM again
Try connecting the Kraken to a different PC/Laptop and see if it is detected in CAM. You only need to connect a external mini USB cable and see if CAM detects the unit. If it is still not detected then it is a faulty unit and we can RMA it. Please contact our support team over at https://www.nzxt.com/customer-support to look for a replacement unit.

If I am running ASUS AURA will that be the reason it is showing up as unknown? Also will this affect the monitoring? The software looks to be working?
shenos commented

Nokrahs commented

Abstract—It is well known that water scarcity and global warming are the two most important concerns of the 21st century. Fresh water resources are limited and while desalination can potentially provide unlimited supply of freshwater produced from infinite oceans, high energy consumption and associated environmental impacts are major drawbacks. This paper presents a practical scheme for providing freshwater by utilizing hydrostatic pressure in conjunction with wave energy. While in a typical seawater reverse osmosis plant,3 to 10 kWh of electric energy is required to produce one cubic meter of freshwater, in the proposed approach, since only the product water needs to be pumped to the surface the specific energy consumption can be reduced to 2.46 kWh.
Index Terms—Desalination, hydrostatic pressure, reverseosmosis, submerged system.

Assistance for United Nations Trust Fund for Human Security project "Support to ex-poppy farmers and poor vulnerable families in border areas" Project in Myanmar
January 29, 2007
- On the 29th of January (Monday), the Government of Japan and the United Nations (UN) decided to extend assistance totalling 948,200 US dollars (approximately 105.25 million yen), through the Trust Fund for Human Security to a project entitled "Support to ex-poppy farmers and poor vulnerable families in border areas" that will be implemented by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), the Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in the Union of Myanmar.
- As a result of a ban on poppy production initiated by the Government of Myanmar and local authorities, a large number of ex-poppy farmers in Shan State, where poppy growing was the only means of livelihood for decades, suffer from serious poverty and food shortage caused by the absence of alternative income opportunities and support. This project aims at improving socio-economic conditions of ex-poppy farmers and vulnerable families in the state. The following activities will be implemented.
- Applying Food-for-Work and Food-for-Training schemes to improve food security of vulnerable households;
- Introducing alternative crops and improved agricultural technology to farmers in order to increase food production and productivity;
- Improving income generating opportunities through agricultural and marketable skill training;
- Renovating primary schools and applying Food-for-Education scheme to increase school attendance rates;
- Increasing accesses to non-formal education for women and adolescent girls and empowering them through functional literacy training;
- Raising awareness on health/hygiene, HIV/AIDS and gender issues.
- This project is expected to facilitate the transition from a poppy-dependent livelihood to alternate livelihood for ex-poppy farmers and ensure the sustainable development in Shan State.
The Trust Fund for Human Security was established in the United Nations Secretariat in March 1999 at the initiative of the Government of Japan. Since then, total contributions have reached approximately 33.5 billion yen (US$ 297.7 million). The Trust Fund has supported more than 160 projects from UN agencies, each one addressing various threats to human life, livelihood and dignity, from the perspective of human security.

In a PC world, don't dare criticise what you can't understand
Police in Victoria, led by Daniel Andrews, play down the dangers posed by violent Sudanese criminals, while Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore was quick to dismiss Man Haron Monis as a terrorist. That's the sort of mindless stupidity we have come to accept as governance. That is is the political dross we knowingly and willingly install at the head of the trough. That's why day after day is revealed another administrative disaster that eclipses the day before and onward rolls the bandwagon with its attendant parasites in tow. And so it is written and so it will be until—the world ends, the later day usurpers pray. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Maurice Newman writes in The Australian.
When Bob Dylan sang "Come gather 'round people wherever you roam and admit that the waters around you have grown", he wasn't singing about global warming and rising sea levels. He was alerting the world to an unstoppable civil rights movement aimed at achieving for African Americans equal access to, and opportunities for, the basic privileges and rights afforded to all other citizens. It was a grassroots movement determined to rectify a self-evident injustice.
Dylan advised his followers to get on board. "You better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changin'," he intoned.
Now, 50 years on, the tide has turned. The noble principles behind the civil rights movement are in retreat. Masquerading as minority oppression, victimhood is a thriving industry. Whether well-meaning or a sinister exercise to divide society according to ethnicity, colour, gender, religion, sexual orientation and social status, self-identifying minorities are demanding, and receiving, preferential treatment.
While ordinary Aussies have yet to be told to sit at the back of the bus, they watch in bewilderment and with rising anger as they see their national identity replaced by a patchwork of incoherent foreign values. Should they complain, new government agencies and statutes are there to keep them in their place and to ensure they keep their whiteness and cultural and religious values to themselves, lest they offend others. Rather than oppress minorities, we pander to them. Complaining about a discriminatory "indigenous only" computer room can, at great personal cost, land you in court, as Queensland University of Technology students found.
Some minorities shamelessly exploit this obsequious regime. Centrelink refuses to collect data on polygamous marriages under Islamic law, despite the fact when claiming welfare, some families involve a domestic relationship with more than one wife. We indulge the tiny transgender, intersex "community" with gender-neutral toilets paid for by taxpayers and businesses.
To placate minorities, Victoria Police has regularly baulked at calling Middle Eastern crime by name and played down the dangers posed by violent Sudanese criminals, notwithstanding they are 44 times more likely to bash, rob and invade homes. When Victoria's Premier Daniel Andrews referred to "out-of-control South Sudanese youth", The Age accused him of making "unpleasant and inflammatory" comments to provoke "a predictably base reaction from those sensitive to immigration on racial grounds".
Perhaps this is why Victoria Police told media before interrogating Saeed Noori, the accused driver who allegedly mowed down Christmas shoppers in Melbourne's Flinders Street, that the attack was not terror-related. Noori later spoke of Allah and the mistreatment of Muslims. Police had similarly played down an Islamist angle after the siege in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton last June, despite the offender's links to known terrorists.
Sydney's Lord Mayor Clover Moore was quick to dismiss Man Haron Monis, the gunman who laid siege to the Lindt Cafe, in which two innocents died, as a terrorist, despite him displaying an Islamic State-like flag in the cafe window and having affiliated himself with the terrorist group.
When it comes to sentencing, the courts take The Age's sensitive approach. Ibrahim Kamara, from Sierra Leone, received a suspended sentence of just over one year, with an 18-month good behaviour order, after admitting to five counts, including grooming and having sex with a minor. The ACT Supreme Court judge said "(Kamara) has tried to make a good start on his life in Australia".
Sevdet Ramadan Besim planned to drive his car into a police officer performing duties on Anzac Day and then behead him to promote "violent jihad". He received a minimum sentence of just 7½ years.
In NSW, an Islamic sect leader was the first person in Australia to be imprisoned over the genital mutilation of two sisters aged six and seven. Notwithstanding a 21 years maximum, the leader received 11 months' jail, while his two accessories will serve a minimum of 11 months' home detention. This sets a derisory benchmark for future sentencing.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt refreshingly observes that "state courts should not be places for ideological experiments". Yet they are. Judges have become politicians in robes and, like the police and other unelected authorities, selectively administer the law according to their prejudices.
Then there's South Australia's initiative to commit $4.4 million to commence indigenous "treaty" negotiations. It joins Victoria, which began similar Aboriginal engagement in 2016. An indigenous Referendum Council is pushing for a constitutionally elected indigenous body in federal parliament, a mechanism for treaty-making and a healing commission. There is talk of inserting a racial non-discrimination clause in the Constitution and amending provisions allowing the commonwealth to make special laws for indigenous people on the basis of race, the very antithesis of American civil rights ideals.
Aboriginal broadcaster Stan Grant writes: "We don't have to reckon with the treatment of Aboriginal people because they are invisible. Indigenous people become a postscript to Australian history." When Australian taxpayers pay the equivalent of $43,000 a year for every First Australian, that's some postscript.
In his Christmas message, Malcolm Turnbull told Australians we have much to be grateful for, not least that so many people of "so many different backgrounds, races and religions live together here in a harmony founded on mutual respect". His sentiments are well intended and worthy but the multicultural policies he and Labor support have left us, in American commentator Pat Buchanan's words, "irretrievably divided on separate shores".
Australia no longer pursues the rapid assimilation of minorities. Rather, diversity is institutionalised. It would be foolish to believe profound and unpredictable consequences won't follow as the silent majority reflects on its own segregation. Yet the louder it protests, the more it will be controlled. Civil liberties be damned.
It's time to admit the safe waters around us are receding and we're sinking like a stone.

Carloway Community Council
The Community Council for Carloway, a town on the West side of Lewis, asked us to redevelop their web site after they had been let down by another developer. The site had been partially completed when it was abandoned by the original developer, and control was never handed over to the council.
We recreated and extended the site at a new URL, based on the original design. The project was built on an open source Content Management System so the council members could add and amend the content by themselves. We trained one of the council members in the use of the software, so he could act as a mentor for the others.
Several new sections have been added to extend the information on the site, which has now become a useful resource for both the council and the community at large.

Probably because she is the most precious treasure in all the universe.
But he also has an uncanny ability to bring out her silly and her smiles. He's got the monopoly on her belly laughs.

Boots vs Pink
Am I crazy for wanting something so bad I want to run into the store and declare victory? Hot pink patent peep toes with a 5" cork heel! Crazy? I think not!!
Like me, most women are probably in the same clunky shoes we wore last year with no options. (see my boots below)
Plus, these ones are pink, not the "always practical" black. Boo black! These shoes make me wanna dance around in a cute spring dress and dye Easter eggs while sipping a grapefruit Cosmo.
Thoughts in head: "Buy them! Who cares if you can't afford groceries next week? Summer's coming and Top Ramen sounds good right about now!"
Say to boyfriend: "Babe, aren't these shoes so cute? They would look soooo good on me."
Boyfriend: "You know you can't buy those right now; we're saving money."
Thoughts in head: "He doesn't understand. Men need shoes to cover their feet. Women need them to feel beautiful and fun."
Every other day I might seem like the most practical person out there. I drive a Camry, I don't buy designer clothes, and my gym clothes are hella faded. I deserve this! Right?
Saving money just seems so impractical when things like this just fall out of the blue and capture your attention. I want these shoes because I will feel flirty and fun in them, carefree, and all the other girls will be envious of my pink sexy feet. Muahahahahaha (evil laugh)
Cry with me ladies!

Extraction of the wisdom teeth is a very common dental procedure and can be carried out in a hospital or by your local dentist. This may seem like a daunting procedure to have and it is something that people generally fear, but what you may not know is that this is an area of dentistry that has really improved and is now at the point of being relatively painless. In this article we will talk more about extraction of your teeth in general.
Normally a local anaesthetic is used to numb the area in which the tooth or teeth are to be extracted (removed). General anaesthetic may also be used if there are a number of teeth that need to be removed, this will mean that you are not conscious for the duration of the procedure.
The procedure
The procedure will start with the anaesthetic, once this has taken effect your dentist or surgeon will proceed to remove the tooth or teeth by opening the gum tissue over the tooth or teeth and taking out the bone that covers the tooth. The connecting tissue will be cut and then the tooth will be removed, often this can be difficult and the tooth may be cut into smaller pieces in order to remove it much more easily.
Stitches may be required to close the wound, but this is not always the case and you will be advised if this is necessary. The wound is then covered to prevent further bleeding and this is usually with gauze.
After surgery
Usually antibiotics will be prescribed after surgery to prevent any infection from occurring, painkillers are also highly likely to be prescribed, as there may be some pain and discomfort after the surgery.
Things to remember
It is important to remember a few things after removal of your teeth or
- Be careful not to eat any hard or very chewy food after dental surgery as this may aggravate the wound and cause further issues
- Be careful with your mouth when the anaesthetic is still working and try not to bite your lip, tongue or cheek. It is also advisable not to scratch your face as the tingling from the anaesthetic can cause an itch and you may not realise how hard you are scratching.
- Change the dressing on the wound regularly to keep the wound clean and prevent the risk of infection.
- Your mouth is the fastest healing part of your body and it will only be a few days before your mouth is feeling good again

Effects of Clove Cigarettes Tobacco specialists welcome the ban, particularly on cloves.
"In several respects, clove cigarettes square measure a lot of dangerous," aforesaid Richard Hurt, a academician of medication and director of the plant toxin Dependence Center at the dressing Clinic in Gopher State.
Unlike fruit-flavored cigarettes, cloves unleash a sweet aroma that contains eugenol, that could be a anaesthetic agent, scientists say. several dentists use eugenol to numb a part of a patient's mouth. once smoking a clove seasoned coffin nail, the eugenol makes the higher airways of a smoker's lungs numb, permitting the smoker to inhale terribly dense coffin nail smoke into the deepest a part of their lungs.This is the characteristic that produces cloves appealing to new smokers. But, the anesthetic in cloves that enables for deep inhales is probably a lot of harmful similarly.
"Most officers agree that once teens smoke cloves, they'll get hooked quicker as a result of the anesthetic, eugenol, within the cloves," Hurt aforesaid.The only flavor additive disregarded of the ban is lotion, the foremost in style, going several tobacco specialists questioning the extent of the ban.
"Getting eliminate the flavour additives could be a sensible thing; the sole elephant within the area is lotion," aforesaid suffragist Glantz, a academician of medication and director of the University of American state San Francisco's Center for Tobacco management analysis and Education.

Dear Bronwyn,
I'm struggling with resentment about my husband's frequent work trips. They're often a week or more long, with mixed genders, and I struggle to keep my imagination under control. He is a loving husband and doesn't seek out female colleagues as friends. He has told me this – and I trust him. Yet, when he is away, and I am left to normal life with young children, I can't help but think he is off having a jolly time, making memories with everyone but me, and confiding in other people – I struggle with the idea of him having a "separate life" – a life where I, unless otherwise told, have no part of.
My husband does work hard to include me in his work life: I know more than many wives about what he does, who he works with, and he includes me where he can. It's just when he goes away I become jaded and go into some kind of survival mode: I push away, resent, and think the worst. My husband is doing everything he can think of to help. My question is this: what can I do to combat these feelings?
All the best,

CAMRA researcher and PhD candidate graduates
Congratulations to CAMRA researcher Dr Chris Brennan-Horley for completing his PhD, which developed from his work on the ARC linkage grant, 'Creative Tropical City: Mapping Darwin's creative industries'.
Various GIS analysis techniques were carried out on spatial data gathered from 100 interviews with creative workers. Revealed through this mixed method approach was an imagined geography of 'Creative Darwin', consisting of creative epi-centres and inspirational sites each connected by the everyday movements of its surprisingly mobile creative workforce.

My first story "Evolution" takes place mainly on Sheba, an ore rich moon that has been split in half by a cataclysmic event. The rugged miners who pull the Iridium ore up to the surface have created a chapel 30 km below the surface called New St. Kinga's.
The chapel was inspired by real world locations found in salt mines around the world. St. Kinga is the patron saint of salt miners, and there are hand carved chapels dedicated to her in Poland and Columbia. These churches were all lovingly crafted from salt as places of refuge and devotion for miners.
Pictured below are the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira, Columbia, the Bochnia Salt Mine and the Wielicza Salt Mine of Poland. Click on the name of each for more information.

Mumbai, Sep 7:
The government approval last week of the marginal fields policy (MFP) for 69 oil and gas fields, proposing a revenue sharing mechanism and market prices for output, would shift the key risks to developers, India Ratings and Research (Ind Ra) said on Monday.
"Developers will need to consider an overall exploration, development and production (EDP) cost along with volume and price estimates, as these would be the key variables for ensuring a reasonable internal rate of return on the projects," it said in a report.
Approving a landmark change in India's hydrocarbons exploration regime, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on last Wednesday sanctioned the auction of 69 small and marginal oil fields of state-owned ONGC and Oil India to private and foreign firms.
Speaking to reporters after the cabinet meeting, Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that for the first time, a revenue-sharing model is being approved in place of production-sharing contract and for these 69 fields, the produce can be sold at the prevailing market rates by oil companies, while there will be no allocation constraints.
Ind Ra said on Monday that the new policy is also likely to result in simplifying the method to calculate the government's share.
"This pre-supposes prudence on the part of developers while bidding as the biddable parameter is likely to be the revenue share of the government," the agency said.
India Ra expects market-linked prices for this gas to be closer to the lower of the liquefied natural gas landed spot prices, with these alternatives being available to key end-user industries.
"Thus, market-linked price from these marginal gas fields could be in the range of 1.5 times-2 times of the current domestic gas price of $4.66/mbtu (million British thermal units)," it said.
Volume of off-take at these prices should not pose a challenge and the gas is likely to see demand from consumers in the fertiliser, refinery and city gas industries, the report said.
Noting that the methodology for the calculation of the government's share of the hydrocarbons produced from these marginal fields has been shifted to the percentage share of gross revenue, Ind Ra said: "This is in stark contrast to the earlier production sharing contracts (PSC), which comprised two main elements-cost recovery and sharing of profits based on pre-tax investment multiple."
"The prior methodology outlined in PSC meant lower risks for developers as it allowed them to first recover the costs incurred, followed by the sharing of profits with the government."
Under the new bidding process, companies offering the maximum revenue share or percentage of oil and gas to the government will win the field.
Stressing that with this move, producers will be spared of day-to-day government interference in their production activities, Pradhan said the central government was unlocking 89 million tonnes of untapped hydrocarbon reserves worth Rs.70,000 crore.
"By revenue-sharing, the government's income is protected with a minimum benchmark price, and profits over and above would come to us through revenue-sharing, royalty and taxes," he said.
India Ratings said extant profit maximisation strategies often led to allegations of gold plating of such costs.
"Also, there were differences over gold plating of costs given that government's share of profit was calculated post the recovery of costs incurred by developers on ED (exploration and ,
development)," said the Fitch group subsidiary.
State-run explorers Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India have surrendered 63 and six oil and gas fields, respectively, which they found uneconomical to develop in view of small reserve size and high economic cost. (IANS)

Singapore dining: Best of the old and new
With incredible street food and a vibrant dining scene punctuated by glitzy new openings, we Singapore diners are a pampered lot.
But separating the great from the mediocre can be a time-consuming, if thankless, task.
That's why we prefer to defer to foodies and in-the-know personalities for advice on favorite haunts –- Violet Oon, Vernetta Lopez, Hossan Leong, Dick Lee, Willin Low and myself, no less.
If you're looking for new ideas, herewith is our loot.
Cheap eats
Roxy Laksa
Menu highlight: Prawn laksa
"I discovered Roxy Laksa years ago when I was cycling along East Coast Lagoon, and since then it has been my go-to venue when the craving for laksa hits.
"The creamy coconut milk broth that's chock-a-block with umami flavors from ingredients like candlenuts and dried shrimps makes it quite impossible not to slurp to the very last drop."
-- Willin Low, chef-owner of Wild Rocket
1000 East Coast Parkway; 65-9630 2321
Lai Heng Mushroom Minced Meat Mee
Menu highlight: Pork noodles
"You have to wait between 15 to 45 minutes for this bowl of goodness, but I assure you that it's well worth it -- bee hoon basking in a bowl of piping hot minced pork-flecked soup with crunchy bean sprouts and calorie-laden pork lard.
"Come early to 'chope' (reserve) a table and bring a packet of tissue to wipe the perspiration."
-- Evelyn Chen, Zagat editor, food blogger
Block 51 Lor 6, Toa Payoh; +65 9620 2074
Tiong Shian
Menu highlights: Rice porridge, claypot dishes
"For good Cantonese-style porridge, I go to Tiong Shian where everything -- from the menu to the way orders are taken -- still stays the same.
"My favorite here is the 'chee chap choke' (mixed pork porridge), where the filling is a mélange of super moist and springy pork balls, sliced pork, just-cooked pork liver, perfectly tender boiled pig's small intestines and crisp deep fried small pig's intestines."
-- Violet Oon, cookbook author and owner of Violet Oon's Kitchen
265 New Bridge Road (at the junction with Keong Saik Road)
Founder Bak Kut Teh Rangoon Road
Menu highlights: Bak kut teh, prime ribs, tau kee, mee sua
"I like my bak kut teh not too peppery and Founder at Rangoon Road serves it well -- just the right balance of herbs and zing.
"I know many people will beg to differ because of the other bak kut teh stall down the street, but I think the standard has dropped since they sold it to a seafood chain."
-- Hossan Leong, comedian, actor, television host
154 Rangoon Road; +65 6292 0938
Kwee Heng
Menu highlights: Duck and chicken noodles, porridge
"This stall faces the car park at Newton Circus Food Centre and they hawk chicken rice and duck noodles -- the dry duck kway teow is deliciously savory with thin flat rice noodles soaking in lip-smacking gravy and topped with thick slices of duck. I've been going there since I was a child and I'm now approaching 40!"
-- Vernetta Lopez, actress and radio DJ
#01-13 Newton Circus Food Centre

The old-timers
Gordon Grill
Menu highlights: Wagyu burgers, U.S. prime black angus steaks, Australian lamb, seafood
"This is where my Anglophile family would go in the 1960s to enjoy a good steak, a good roast and a great Ang Mo meal -- all created by a Hainanese-staffed kitchen.
"My fondest memory is Bomb Alaska -- ice cream with a cake base and surrounded by freshly whipped meringue, baked in the oven and then flambéed for service."
-- Violet Oon
Goodwoodparkhotel.com, 22 Scotts Road, Goodwood Park Hotel; +65 6730 1744
Red Star
Menu highlights: Dim sum, egg tarts, porridge
"I'm a nostalgic person -- dim sum at Red Star may not be the best in town, but I'm not complaining. Go for the charm, the ambience and the pushcarts going round the restaurant. I'm Cantonese. I can't help it!"
-- Hossan Leong
54 Chin Swee Road; +65 6532 5266
Menu highlights: Pork chops, steak and chips, full English breakfasts, chicken curry
"Not only has Colbar stood the test of time, it has stood the test of relocation (albeit not far from its original location) when the original outpost (circa 1953) made way for a highway extension. I find its Sino-colonial roots most appealing –- its curry chicken is not bad too!"
-- Vernetta Lopez
9A Whitchurch Road; +65 6779 4859
Pete's Place
Menu highlights: Wood-fired pizzas, seafood gamberi, mushroom risotto, clam linguini
"I have been going to Pete's Place at Grand Hyatt for close to 30 years and it's where I still go to for my comfort food of salad bar (simple and hearty), and pasta and pizza to share. The decor is exactly the same, except for the Chianti bottles that used to fill the ceiling.
"The other thing that's changed are the uniforms. I designed the very one in the 1980s, which was my take on 'Italian Peasant,' with flouncy blouse and skirt in red, white and green!"
-- Dick Lee, pop singer/composer/playwright/Singapore Idol judge
10 Scotts Road Basement, Grand Hyatt; +65 6416 7113
Hilltop Japanese Restaurant
Menu highlights: A teppanyaki joint, Hilltop has a massive menu of items ready to be grilled. Top picks include New Zealand steak, bean curd, prawns, salmon and garlic fried rice.
"My fondest food memories as a kid were my family's teppanyaki jaunts at Hilltop Japanese Restaurant in Jurong where the chefs were known to showcase tabletop culinary gymnastics whilst cooking up a storm on the teppan grill.
"Hilltop has now frayed around the edges and looks more shabby than swanky, but my crystal clear memories of Singapore's then-best teppanyaki experience remains untarnished."
-- Evelyn Chen
2 Jurong Hill; +65 6266 3522
More on CNN: Best all-day breakfast spots in Singapore
Tong Le Private Dining
What's on the menu: Tong Le offers set menus made up of classic and modern Chinese dishes, which change every couple of days.
"For Western, I tend to go to CUT, which has overtaken my previous favorite at Morton's. For Chinese food, it would have to be Tong Le Private Dining because it combines great cuisine and glamour in a very contemporary way –- I love everything there, but I had my very first Shanghai hairy crab there a few weeks ago and it blew my mind!"
-- Dick Lee
OUE Tower, Level 4 and 5, 60 Collyer Quay; +65 6634 3233
Restaurant Andre
What's on the menu: The cuisine is modern French. The fixed eight-course dinner menu that changes daily.
"Restaurant Andre fits in the best-of-the-best restaurants echelon and my heart flutters with intense anticipation every time I visit. Perhaps the most defining dish from the multiple-course Octaphilosophy tasting menu is the 'memory' dish of foie gras in black truffle coulis.
"Simply put, it tastes like chawan mushi with velvety foie gras and heaps of chopped black truffles. This can well be my comfort food but my twice-a-week restaurant diet can ill afford it and neither can my credit card limit."
-- Evelyn Chen
41 Bukit Pasoh Road; +65 6534 8880
More on CNN: How Singapore became Asia's culinary capital
Menu highlights: Esquina is a tapas bar with a broad, innovative menu. Top picks include baked bone marrow, grilled sea bass and aged rib eye.
"The food at Esquina shines with the personality and creativity of chef Andrew Walsh: fried spicy squid ink calamari made with baby squid bought from local markets, wobbly roasted smoky marrow to be eaten off the bone and black olive ice cream are just some of the reasons I keep coming back here.
"In an age where celebrity chef restaurants (sadly sometimes with cookie cutter personalities) are the rage, Esquina stands out like a breath of fresh air."
-- Willin Low
16 Jiak Chuan Road; +65 6222 1616
Db Bistro Moderne
Menu highlights: French classics such as duck confit and escargot persillade; New York burgers; roasted Brittany cod.
"Service at Db Moderne is excellent. We always let chef Stephane Istel recommend our meal -- and he never disappoints. A great restaurant to go to before a show at the theater."
-- Hossan Leong
2 Bayfront Ave., The Shoppes at Marina Bay; +65 6688 8525
Menu highlights: Anything with the word "beef" in it. Diners have a choice of U.S., Australian or Japanese cuts.
"The steaks at CUT are really sublime. Wolfgang Puck has taken the traditional American steak house and bookended the splendiferous steak menu with great cuts augmented by modern appetizers and desserts.
"Service by Adam Croini is slick, chic and friendly without being overly familiar -- just the sort of great American service I have come to love."
-- Violet Oon
2 Bayfront Ave., B1-71, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands; +65 6688 8517
Ristorante Da Valentino
"This Italian family-run restaurant delivers homey Italian fare with aplomb.
"I've never been disappointed with any dish they've placed in front of me -- rustic pastas, incredible pizzas and extremely fresh seafood all crafted with Valentino's special touch."
-- Vernetta Lopez
Valentino.sg, 200 Turf Club Road #01-19; +65 6462 0555

Billiard Service Expands to New Store in Renton
For many years Leo Hancock has been providing the Puget Sound area and beyond with service to it's area pool tables, working mainly with the commercial and coin-op industries. Over time more and more folks began to find him and seek his service out for their own home tables. As they say, one thing led to another and he was handling more than a few balls, chalk and cues for his commercial clients. The opportunity presented itself for the family owned and run company to move to a full retail location without breaking the bank.
"We are trying to provide the best service and products without sending our customers to the poor house," is the philosophy quoted by Venetia Hancock, Leo's wife. " We will always cater to the commercial industry, the league players and tournament players out there. That is the heart of our business. But, Leo found years ago that people were sometimes paying way too much to enjoy the game in their own home. Many of our new customers are people who have never really learned to play pool. They want a table to add a new dimension to their leisure activities. The current events of the last couple years, 9-11, Iraq and the economy have really turned up the desire for people to stay home with their families.
The Hancock's have designed their store mostly with families in mind. There are cues and shooting supplies, but the emphasis has been put on outfitting the home billiard room with quality accessories and supplies that won't break the bank. And, what you don't see, you can probably order. "It's hard to stock every piece of furniture in every color available but we usually have the most popular things in." says Leo, "and we have enough that you can get a good idea of the quality that we have to offer before you order."
Of course, they still offer the same expert service for billiard tables. You will see the Leo Hancock Billiard Service logo on many commercial tables across the area. "We are so proud of our work, we want you to know who did the job and many of our customers seek us out because of that. We try to be the 'go to guys' when it comes to difficult moves and antique tables". You can find them at 325 Sunset Blvd. N, Renton, WA 98055 and coming soon at www.thepooltableguy.com.

It is Web Quest time and I have just finished uploading my "Telling Time Review Web Quest" on zunal.com. Normally I wouldn't be planning a Math unit for the last nine weeks of school the summer before but I am doing it for one of my graduate classes, so I don't mind so much!
I am planning to incorporate a Web Quest into all my science units this year. Last year when we did that Fish Web Quest the kids loved it, so if in no other subject Science and Social Studies will be Web Quest time!!
The Time Web Quest is actually a review of the unit with games and a little bit of interesting info for kids to read. I don't know if you have noticed but the Math Common Core Standards for 1st Grade are SHORT! The time standard is simply: Be able to tell time to the hour and half hour. Hey, I am not complaining...just saying SHORT! Anyway, click here to visit the Telling Time Review Web Quest.
If you would like a copy to the "Telling Time Web Quest Journal" and "Telling Time Web Quest Rubric" then click here and here.
Well, I hope you actually remember this post months down the road and get a chance to utilize this Web Quest. As I develop more quests I will be sure to share :)

Spencer Shulem wants people to learn from their mistakes. Also, he wants to help them organize their time. Oh, and he wants to gather data on everything they do. All this is packed into a single pitch for his startup, WeDo. Can the investors dig through all the parts of his business in time to decide if they want to put their cold, hard cash behind it?
Ramya Possett and Rachel Lee founded BlueFoot to make tracking the competition easy for massive companies. And they think that what they've created is so powerful, it demands a premium price tag. One that takes the investors completely by surprise.
When Khalil Zahar and Tommy Duquette first pitched their boxing workout startup, Hykso, the investors saw a big opportunity. They wanted to know: Could Hykso be more like Peloton, an at-home cycling system that was starting to take off? Three years later, the company is trying to do just that — and it's been a wild ride.
