Aurora is a sci-fi roguelike video game.
A player takes control over a spaceship that was build with the cooperation of each and every Earth government. His task is to explore space, establish relationships with alien races and bring back home any valuable objects. Anything, including artifacts of forgotten civilizations and secret cookie recipes, can help Earth overcome its political and energy crisis. The human governments will estimate your efforts: they won't let you waste their time and ineffectively use the precious spaceship.
The game is a mixture of a roguelike game and a sandbox with a global plot. The player will have an opportunity to travel and fight in space, on surface of planets and even in alien structures.
The crew contains the best specialists from the planet Earth. Dozens of scientists are looking forward to researching alien artifacts, while the engineers are waiting for an opportunity to repair the spaceship and the experienced soldiers are ready to give their lives to protect the project. Each department has its own chief, who'll have an important role in the storytelling.
The system of scientific and engineering projects is similar to X-Com. Any artifact that you find can be researched. This might open you a way to new projects and technologies. What is important, these projects can influence not only your spaceship, but also the entire Earth! If you get the information on effective usage of solar energy, the earth scientists will try to solve the energy crisis by using this technology.
Exploration, diplomacy, battles and cold, lonely space – you'll find it all in Aurora!

Uma Thurman and Quentin Tarantino confirmed romance rumours on Tuesday night when the pair were pictured clinched in a passionate embrace after enjoying an intimate dinner for two.
The pair, who have shared a 20-year friendship and worked together on-screen including in Tarantino"s 1994 cult movie Pulp Fiction, kept a low profile as they arrived at Mr Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills in separate cars and minutes apart.
Quentin Tarantino and his muse Uma Thurman were pictured clinched in a romantic embrace on Tuesday
After a romantic evening though, they left the restaurant together, bidding each other goodnight before getting into separate cars.
Uma, 44, opted for a casual white dress and cardigan for the relaxed date, with little or no make-up and a side-bun. Quentin, meanwhile, wore a blue check shirt and jeans.
The famed director is said to have embarked on a new romance with Uma one month after her split from fiancé Arpad "Arki" Busson.
Uma Thurman and director Quentin Tarantino put on an affectionate display in Cannes
"They had a thing and got together again recently," an insider told US Weekly. "He"s loved her for years."
Certainly the couple seemed very cosy at Cannes Film Festival earlier this month. It has even been suggested that they shared a villa together in the south of France for the duration of the film festival.

Quentin, 51, and Uma attended a number of red carpet events together at the festival, including the closing ceremony.
The willowy blonde, dressed a custom-made Marchesa gown, walked arm-in-arm with the director, and seemed very affectionate towards him as they posed for the cameras side by side.

YouTube 500 Error Inspires Sunday Sunshine Smiles
God works in amazing wonderful ways in our lives. Today, I received an inspiration to start a Sunday Sunshine Smiles part to this blog - you do enjoy smiling-right? What is Sunday Sunshine Smiles? Sunday Sunshine Smiles will be links to family friendly funnies - jokes, images and so -on. While I can't guarantee the Sunday Sunshine Smiles will make YOU smile, they are things that brought a chuckle from me.
God Loves Giggles
Did you know God wants us to be happy? Have you heard of being filled with the Joy of the Lord? That is an experience of itself! Check it out in Nehemiah 8:10. Why laugh? Why be happy? Psalm126:2 Gives an excellent reason - when we are laughing and happy, others yearn to have a happy heart too. Would you want to hang with a bunch who are always down in the mouth and full of doom and gloom? True, there is "a time to laugh and a time to cry", but the Joy of the Lord - that is our strength! Did you know in some Christian denominations, the death and resurrection of Christ are seen as God pulling the greatest practical joke of all time on Satan, and celebrated as Holy Humour Sunday? Can you imagine Satan's surprise - thinking he had Christ sitting in Paradise, Sheol,- only to find Christ had taken the souls of the Old Testament Saints from Paradise into Heaven with Him? The Bible does say He that sits in heaven laughs.
Sunday Sunshine Smile 1 - YouTube 500 Error Message
So what incident inspired today's Sunday Sunshine Smile? I was opening my YouTube account for Kawartha Lakes Mums, when suddenly the following YouTube 500 error popped up:

From that chuckle, all the Sunshine Smiles ideas just flowed. Definitely nothing of my doing. Do you have a Sunday Sunshine Smile to share? Drop me a comment below, I love a good chuckle.

Ever found yourself wondering whether the length of your skirt is sending out the right signals? Well, now you can work out EXACTLY what kind of signal you're sending, with the help of these opaque tights, which provide a handy chart to allow you to measure your skirt length and find out what it says about you.
The sliding scale starts at "demure" and goes all the way to "fatal" with the stages in between being (in Spanish) discrete, subtle, flirtatious, sensual, moody, seductive, provocative, bold, shameless and "warrior".
Which one are you? You'll have to buy them (from here) to find out. Would you wear them, though?

Shortly before Christmas 2015, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Korean Employment Service (KEIS) organised a training event to help countries faced with these challenges explore possible solutions.
Hosted by the President of KEIS, the programme brought together government officials from ten countries including, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia to explore labour market trends and latest IT developments aimed at improving unemployment insurance systems.
Ingeus Korea was invited to draw on the group's global experience to show how governments the world over are increasingly turning to public-private partnerships to drive change, improve performance and increase customer service in employability and skills. Focusing in particular on the company's work in Korea, Australia and the United Kingdom Ingeus CEO, Jay Han, spoke about some of the challenges purchasers face in emerging economies when procuring services, particular in the areas of design and evaluation.
Jay Han showcased the Korea government's flagship Employment Success Package for disadvantaged jobseekers as an example of an employability programme that has not only delivered consistently high outputs since its inception in 2009, but has successfully evolved to meet the changing priorities of the Ministry of Employment and Labour.
According to Jay, population growth and rapid industrialisation have made it difficult for a number of ASEAN countries to improve their skills bases, grow sustainable employment and deliver high growth. Only by creating systems to tackle unemployment, underemployment and informalisation of the labour market can governments generate the cash to pay for unemployment insurance and other welfare programmes.
Having experienced a rapid development cycle itself, Korea understands many of the challenges that its ASEAN neighbours face. And, as one of the world's leading champions of best practice exchange in skills and employability KEIS is an excellent role model.

The Transportation Planning Board is scheduled to meet at noon on Wednesday, December 21. The official agenda and all meeting materials will be posted on the Thursday before the meeting. Here's a quick preview of what's coming up:
A visit by the Baltimore region MPO. Members of the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB), the Baltimore region's equivalent of the TPB, will attend the December meeting. BRTB Staff Director Todd Lang and current BRTB Chairman Allan Kittleman will speak at the meeting, with a focus on highlighting ongoing coordination efforts between the TPB and the BRTB.
New methodology for Environmental Justice analysis. Staff have developed a new methodology for identifying areas with higher concentrations of low-income and minority individuals for use in the TPB's federally required environmental justice analysis. Under federal law, the TPB must demonstrate that the region's major transportation investments will not have disproportionate negative impacts on vulnerable groups. The board will be asked to approve the proposed map of "Communities of Concern" at its meeting in January.
Results from the latest air passenger survey. The TPB surveyed more than 24,000 air passengers at BWI, Dulles, and Reagan National airports to learn about those travelers' choice of airport, mode of access to the airport, demographics, and more. The TPB conducts the survey every two years to help airport officials and local, state, and regional planners understand what improvements need to be made to maximize the benefit the airports bring to the region.
New TPB officers for 2017. A nominating committee appointed by current TPB Chairman Tim Lovain will announce the names of the three board members it has nominated to serve as board officers for 2017. The board will vote at its December meeting to approve the nominations. The terms of the new officers will begin January 1.

Cumberland Island Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Cumberland Island Wilderness (map) in 1982 and it now has a total of 9,906 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Georgia and is managed by the National Park Service.
DescriptionManaged by the National Park Service, Cumberland Island Wilderness protects sparkling white beaches and sand dunes, freshwater lakes, and saltwater marshes. It is Georgia's largest and southernmost barrier against seaborne storms. The island measures about 16 miles in length and 3 miles at its' widest, with approximately 1 mile of water and marshland separating it from the mainland. A maritime forest is the centerpiece of the island, providing shade for the deer that attract hunters during six managed hunts. When the hunters appear (usually a few days every month from November through February), visitation and camping are restricted on parts of the island. The first-rate surf fishing attracts another kind of hunter (Georgia fishing license is required). Attractions include the ruins of Thomas Carnegie's Dungeness Mansion, built in the late 1800s, a short walk from the ferry dock on the southern end of the island. Alligators, loggerhead turtles, and pelicans live on the beaches. The northern portion of the island has been designated Wilderness, starting approximately four miles north of the ferry dock (you have to take a passenger ferry to get here from the mainland). For most of the year, insect repellent is strongly recommended for campers. Additionally, beach access is allowed only at designated dune crossings.

The ongoing Garner v. Edwards saga has the pinkos all upset about churnalistic ethics. It is hogwash of course unless we have the BBC model here in New Zealand and even that is a tedious comparison.
There will always be bias in any repeater's or churnalist's repeating because, well they are human and humans have brains that enable them to think. This preciousness that somehow all churnalists are supposed to be neutral is pinko horse-piss.
Andrew Sullivan looks at this very issue as well;
The appropriateness of the Weigel's comments about Drudge aside, I'm much more horrified by the suggestion, on Goldblog and elsewhere, that this is somehow the Washington Post's fault for hiring journalists who, you know, have opinions about stuff.? When will news outlets give up on the charade of neutrality in reporting?
In an era of monopolistic news reporting, if you are the only newspaper in town, or one of three channels on the tube, you are you going to be a lot less concerned with providing a superior product and a lot more concerned with not saying anything that might alienate a member of your captive audience.? It's not important to have the smartest reporters or the sharpest analysis – after all, people are pretty much forced read the news you give them.? Instead, it's just important to have reporters that are careful (or dense) enough to stop thinking about a subject before they risk suggesting that one interpretation of events might be superior to others.
End result: a perverse culture that values manufactured or feigned neutrality above all else, endless "he said/she said" reporting, and a mainstream media that is afraid to actually let its own reporters use their brains.
People, consumers, aren't stupid, they know and recognise bias when they see it. I for one know that Duncan Garner gives no one any favours. He is almost an anarchist in his thinking. He just wants a story and presents it how he sees it. If you think there is bias in the story then that is your problem not his. He climbed in boots and all and ran the secret tapes provided from Labour and The Standard operatives in the lead up to the election, now he is smacking troughing former ministers including the biggest trougher of the lot, Chris Carter. The left makes the mistake in thinking that it is personal, it almost never is. Even when I am putting a hit on it still isn't personal. The left however likes to see a reason for something, so for Carter it is latent homo-phobia, except they are the ones who see it and no-one else, for Len Brown it is a right wing conspiracy except no-one forced Len Brown to spend the money, no-one forced him to slap himself silly on TV and no-one foreced him to break his own council's rules. Labour and the rest of the left do themselves no favours by crying conspiracy everytime something goes wrong in the press for them. They almost never look in the mirror.
Likewise with drug bust of Phil Goff's daughter. Personally I couldn't give a tinkers cuss whether she or any other MPs kids was taking ecstasy, and that isn't the issue, the issue is how the MP handles it when the tough questions come, and that is where the pinkos are falling over. For nine long years they had a media cowed by Helen Clark and Heather Simpson. They would bully, black-list and cajole repeaters who didn't play nicely. They are still doing it. Right now both Duncan Garner and Patrick Gowwer are on Labour's blacklist. With petulant reciprocation of supposed sleights against MPs it is little wonder that Labour is constantly getting bad press.
Phil Goff handled the response to Jonathan Marshall's questions poorly. It isn't a smear, it is fact that his daughter was arrested, charged and found guilty. Goff pretends that he wants to lead this nation, yet when presented with prima facie evidence that his daughter is a drug user, he starts with denial, the politicians default position. That won't cut it. Only the most stupid of people would think that his denial helps. It doesn't it now portrays his daughter as a drug mule, a courier or a dealer, none of which are a better position than a drug taker. People want their leaders to be able to deal with tough issues, not run for cover or deny the existence of reality.
She is 25 and so should be big enough to look after herself, Goff should have said that. He didn't. Is Jonathan Marshall biased for reporting it? Of course not. He told a story. Labour don't like it of course. In their minds they will be thinking if the story had landed on the gallery's desks then nothing would have happened. That is as it may be, but it didn't and Jonathan Marshall isn't in the gallery. The only thing he is thinking about is whether or not his story is going to make the front page or not. There isn't a smear or a conspiracy, there just is. And the sooner that Labour and MSM bosses realise that people actually want bias then the sooner we can all get on and enjoy the news.
Thankfully, the internet is ripping the heart out of our mid-20th century media culture.? We're going back to old-old-school reporting, way back to the era of when newspapers had open party affiliations.? If I want to learn about an issue, I don't watch cable news debate theater, designed to ensure both sides go in endless circles.? And I certainly don't read a David Broder column.? I go read an honest, intelligent partisan, an Yglesias or Klein or a Frum or a Salam, and then I go read a response from the other side.? Even if there isn't a response, at least I know what I'm getting — I have a sense of the worldview I'm hearing and the assumptions that are going into the argument.? I don't have to worry that the writer is burying some secret conclusion out of sight.? Full disclosure beats selective omission, every time.
Good reporting requires honesty, integrity, and analytical rigor.? Good reporting is not editorializing.? But a good reporter should not be neutral.? A good reporter should tell me what he thinks, why he thinks it, and why it's relevant.
Blogging has added a newer dimension, a more raw and visceral dimension to the news. We are unashamedly biased, we know we are, our reader know we are and that is why we retain audiences. If you don't like that then take a hike, because we and the world doesn't care.
As much at home writing editorials as being the subject of them, Cam has won awards, including the Canon Media Award for his work on the Len Brown/Bevan Chuang story. When he's not creating the news, he tends to be in it, with protagonists using the courts, media and social media to deliver financial as well as death threats.
They say that news is something that someone, somewhere, wants kept quiet. Cam Slater doesn't do quiet and, as a result, he is a polarising, controversial but highly effective journalist who takes no prisoners.
He is fearless in his pursuit of a story.
Love him or loathe him, you can't ignore him.

text: So I have 42 posts and about 3 comments. Essentially I'm writing to myself. Why do I continue to do it then? I could just as easily write in a journal and keep it off the internet since I'm not sharing it with anybody. I do it because I think there's so many different people out in the world that someone might be able to benefit from it. Somewhere out in the world someone might be better off for hearing from my ramblings. I mean even if reading my blog just makes someone glad they're not me; they've gained appreciation for their life right? That has to count for something. And so I write.

Limited edition screen-print for Martin Scorsese's Silence.
Commissioned by Mondo.
24 x 36 inches.
Silence is a story set in 17th Century Japan where two missionaries, in search of their mentor, try to protect those who have turned to Christianity in a country that is torturing and killing those that support the faith.
It's an intense and heartbreaking film that is beautifully made.
This poster has a slightly different approach for me as I wanted to emulate the look of a Japanese woodcut. An exercise in style to play with technique and shake things up.
A personal series that gently swipes at social media bragging and ostentatiousness.

This one has an 'easter egg' to find, quite a large obvious one in fact. Have you got it?
'We want the finest wines known to humanity, we want them here and we want them now!'
This poster celebrates the amount of wine the characters quaff and is inspired by the style of a Petrus wine label where we have, rather than picturesque vineyards and a Chateaux, a scene of the two dejected characters in the mud and the rain on holiday, 'by mistake'. There's plenty of detail for fans of the film including an inadvisable way to cook a chicken.

The saxophone is a wonderful instrument to learn. Stylish, elegant and sophisticated – it appeals to both men and women in its ease of use. No great lung capacity is required as there is a big saxophone family to suit everyone.
Many of the students who learn at CMS are mature students returning after school experience, but a significant proportion are also beginners, so it does not matter whether one has prior experience. The secret is in the ability to learn, which is dependent on the students' interest and dedication to practice – so anyone can learn to play this instrument. Tuition will cover all aspects of learning the saxophone from the very start of learning specific placement of notes and reading music. There is no need to be inhibited by a previous lack of knowledge.
Students who have not played since childhood may reach a high standard in their chosen genre, but this will depend on the time they are able to dedicate to practice.
Who knows, some day you might be playing at your local jazz club or festival. Why not take up the challenge and learn to play the saxophone today!
Philip Mills – Saxophone tutor
Often much of what I've said about the Clarinet applies, particularly as there are many fingering similarities between the three instruments [recorder, clarinet and saxophone].
A common scenario for budding saxophonists is, someone impulse buying one of these very beautiful and sexy instruments, particularly the alto – often these instruments do lie around for years accumulating dust, until suddenly their offices have the foresight to bring CMS in to deliver music lessons in the workplace!

Here is a video of the last half of the men's race. You can watch full race replays here.
Jae Gruenke at the Balanced Runner has an interesting discussion about the running form of the top athletes at this race and some slow motion video that she recorded. You can check it out here.
Here is her video of the top men:
A story from the summer involves Garrett's brother Elliot, who is also a top level runner. I noticed on the ElliptiGO Stava mileage board in August that Elliot was posting some massive and hilly rides on an ElliptiGO (must have been injured) He did a couple of weeks of over 250 miles each in August, if I recall, and may have led for most mileage on an ElliptiGO for those weeks. I was already anticipating doing a 300 mile week and I was checking to see if I could maintain my ElliptiGO mileage lead throughout the week. You never know types of massive rides an athlete might do each week and it is usually on the weekend. I got up over 300 miles and had a good lead, but Elliott wasn't posting so I didn't know if he would hook up his computer at the end of the week and beat me. I ended up with 350 miles for an easy lead. Elliot never posted much mileage that week. He never knew I was competing against him! All that I knew was that if I was GOing 350 miles, I did not want to rate second in total miles!

After years of house arrest listening to Dave Lee Travis's pop picks, the Burmese pro-democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi became the selector on Desert Island Discs on Sunday, mixing Burmese folk songs, the Beatles and Mozart before becoming the first guest in the show's 71-year history to choose a record they had never heard before – Tom Jones's Green, Green Grass of Home.
She picked the song after asking her secretary what she would like and after hearing its lilting beat, she concluded: "I like it. There's nothing wrong with loving one's home and family and feeling sentimental about it."
The 67-year-old Nobel peace prize winner had been approached to appear on the programme after she mentioned in her Nobel prize lecture last year that she listened to Desert Island Discs while a student in Oxford. Around the same time she also revealed she listened to the Lee Travis programme. The broadcast took six months to negotiate and fell through on several occasions, before the presenter Kirsty Young travelled to Naypyidaw in Burma after "swotting for this interview like I was doing an exam".
Aung San Suu Kyi said she had asked friends, colleagues and family to help her with her picks so she would be reminded of them on the desert island. Her classical selections included the overture to Mozart's Magic Flute and the Largo movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony, which she first heard in New York.
"It reminds me of the people in the States and elsewhere who helped us in our cause for democracy," she said.
She chose Pachelbel's Canon because she played on her piano during house arrest and it represented "tranquility and resilience".
Here Comes the Sun, by the Beatles, was chosen for her by Britain's ambassador to Burma, Andy Hayn, who said it was "a good augury of a time when we can all look forward to a better life in Burma", and her younger son Kim selected John Lennon's Imagine. She said Kim had "tried to educate me musically and tried to make me appreciate Bob Marley and the Grateful Dead".
She spoke about her relationship with her father, a Burmese army general who led the struggle for independence and was assassinated in 1947 when Aung San Suu Kyi was two. She said he was "my first love and my best love".
She said she was "very fond of the army" and when pressed about this complex relationship with the Burmese military, whose atrocities she has campaigned against, she said had been taught her father "was the father of the army and that all soldiers were his sons and therefore they were part of my family".
"It's terrible what they've done and I don't like what they've done at all, but if you love somebody I think you love her or him in spite of and not because of and you always look forward to a time when they will be able to redeem themselves," she said.
Aung San Suu Kyi made clear she still had ambitions to lead her country by winning the next round of elections. "I would like to be president," she said. "If you are the leader of a party then you should want to get government power in your hands so you can work out all these ideas that you have harboured for your country."
Of her mother she said: "My mother was very disciplined and she was very courageous and she was very strict. I thought at times she was far too strict. But I have to say that when I was in a position of having to cope with things such as imprisonment, I was very grateful for her having brought me up in such a disciplined way."
Her recollections of her time in the UK included life as a student at Oxford, trying alcohol for the first and only time in the toilets of the Bodleian library and of how her perfectionist streak came out baking complex cakes for her children, one, ironically, in the shape of a tank, and using a hair dryer to get the skin crispy for Peking Duck. When Young suggested she was "an astonishing looking creature … like a Bond girl" as a student, she admitted: "I turned a few heads."
Aung San Suu Kyi chose a compendium of Buddhist philosophy as her book and a rose bush that changes the colour of its blooms every day as her luxury after insisting "luxuries are not something I indulge in".
She said she would be happy to take the Bible too because her grandfather had converted to Christianity and she often read him passages when he started losing his sight.
She attributed her calmness to "upbringing, Buddhist faith and meditation". She said meditation heightened her awareness, particularly of rising anger and the need to control it which "is a great help when you have to cope with what most politicians have to cope with".

High school football countdown: Where were we?
Our countdown to high school football's official beginning continues. Today, here's a quick refresher course in the storylines for this season. –New Hanover went 17 straight tries without beating crosstown rival Hoggard, until 2011. The Wildcats finally, finally toppled the Vikings, and did so twice: once in regular season and once more in a rain-soaked playoff game. So what happens now? Will Hoggard restore its supremacy, or do New Hanover's victories signal a long-term shift in favor of the Wildcats?… Read More »

Glovegate 2014
Glovegate 2014

Tonight, Floyd Mayweather is scheduled to face Marcos Maidana in a fight dubbed "The Moment" but there was a conflict from Mayweather's team over the choice of gloves. They objected to the Mexican-style puncher's gloves custom-made for Maidana by Everlast in the colors of the Argentine flag. According to Team Mayweather, they simply didn't have the sufficient padding. On the other hand (pun firmly intended), Mayweather is going with his trademark Grant gloves.
Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports has been providing great coverage of this dispute (
) and up-to-the-minute updates on his Twitter feed (@KevinI) on Friday night.
While Maidana's custom-made pair was kiboshed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the same stock model gloves (which were red) were approved. But for whatever reason, Mayweather's side is still objecting to that pair. According to Iole, that same model was used by Miguel Cotto when he faced Mayweather in 2012.
As the clock turned midnight, there was still no resolution but the belief is that this fight will go on. The bottom line is...well, the bottom line. Both fighters, especially Mayweather, have millions on the line as does Showtime and the host hotel, the MGM Grand. And with the commission approving the other set of Everlast gloves, Maidana is within his rights to use them. If he holds his ground, then the liability would be on Mayweather should he choose not to fight.
Some believe this is a ploy to drum up interest in the fight and boost pay-per-view sales but does anyone really think the reports of a cancelation the day before the fight actually
the promotion (especially when you consider there are three Game Sevens going on today in the NBA playoffs, capped off by the Clippers-Warriors match-up in Los Angeles that starts right in the heart of the pay-per-view telecast at 7:30 pm, PT)?
It's inconceivable that this fight would actually be postponed - but this is boxing. I guess anything could happen.
Will this Glove story have a happy ending?

Bucks County News Archives
Local News Outlets
The Bucks County Area Agency on Aging (AAA) reminds seniors that extreme hot weather like the forecasted heat wave this week can cause serious heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke or heat exhaustion. Though everyone should take precautions, seniors are especially vulnerable to effects from the heat. The best approach during a heat wave is to remain indoors with an air-conditioner or in a ventilated room with a fan. Unless restricted, drink plenty of water and/or non-alcoholic beverages to prevent dehydration. Minimize time spent outdoors and stay out of the sun whenever possible.
Free fans are available to eligible seniors through the county's Senior Centers (please contact your local center). Through a recent donation from PECO, these fans are offered on a first come, first served basis while supplies last.
Residents are encouraged to check frequently on elderly neighbors, friends and family members. Symptoms of a possible heat injury include faintness, dizziness, nausea, weakness, and heavy sweating. For more information on symptoms and treatment relating to the elderly, visit the CDC Web site http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/extremeheat/elderlyheat.asp. As with any emergency, call 9-1-1 when necessary. The elderly also may call the AAA office at 267-880-5700 for help during this period of extreme heat.
General information on preventing heat-related injuries also is available through the Bucks County Health Department information pages.

Colourwork Knitting at the Yarn Barn
Undaunted by the recent snow my intrepid bunch of knitters arrived brisk and early for a colourwork workshop at the Yarn Barn in Milnrow. My lovely group enthusiastically got stuck into mosaic (slipstitch) colourwork knitting, Fairisle and even knitting continental-style with a yarn in either hand :-)
With Judith as our lovely hostess (and her lovely, spacious shop to be tempted by!), some lovely wristlets and wristwarmers were produced...
Thanks for a lovely day ladies :-)
Oh, nearly forgot - I'll be doing more workshops for Judith throughout the year, including beginner's crochet, knitting in the round, socks, illusion knits and more, so be sure to check the programme for details :-)

About this blog
Hello and Welcome to Rowe Apiaries' Blog!
This is a small family business. We do not practice 'let alone' beekeeping, but use the same holistic preventative approach as we do with our other animals, and, indeed, ourselves. On average, we spent a little more time taking care of our bees than a traditional beekeeper would. We call it Natural Beekeeping.
We enjoy reading about new research and subscribe to Bee Craft and Bee Culture. There are other countless sources from around the world that we continue to explore and would like to share on this blog.
Currently, all reviews of beekeeping products and resources are given on our own, without compensation.
About the Blog Author
My name is Sophia Rowe. I spent the first twenty years of my life in Central Asia. My grandparents from both sides had been raised on the farm. My great aunt (also named Sophia) was well known for her beekeeping skills. Her father, my great grandfather, had an orchard and grew several varieties of apples in the land now known as Kazakhstan. Folks came from China, Central Asia and Russia to buy his saplings. He was executed by the Soviets, and his land and all of his property were taken. There were others like him, without formal education, who learned their trade through hard work. I found their stories in the Russian books on beekeeping and the archives of the Russian Beekeeping magazine, "Pchelovodstvo". There are stories that sound larger than life, such as those of monster swarms and feral bees in the forest. There are also a lot of stories with practical advice, given by beekeepers who have managed without antibiotics, miticides or any fancy equipment for the past 30-50 years. I use those beekeepers' methods and I thank them for sharing their priceless knowledge with the world.
» More about me
I wish I could tell you that I always cared about VOCs, carcinogen containing cleaning agents or synthetic pesticide residue in our food. Like many other children, my children had life threatening food, chemical and environmental allergies. Someone mentioned to us that honey could help… It did. We now live on a small farm with our own organic garden, chickens, ducks, a donkey, goats and sheep and, of course, our honey bees. Natural beekeeping was my only logical choice.
I enjoy nature photography and drawing. I teach my children about the wonders of the natural world and respect it deserves. My dear husband is a rocket scientist, a weekend warrior and a farmer. He is also my best friend.

LIBSON — "The Baard Energy project is being resurrected, with natural gas replacing coal as the energy source used to produce synthetic diesel and jet fuel.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the environmental groups fighting construction of Baard's Ohio River Clean Fuels plant, announced Friday the coal-based project as originally constituted has been scrapped as part of an agreement reached with the groups.
In exchange for switching from coal to natural gas, the NRDC and Sierra Club agreed to drop its appeals challenging the permits issued for the Baard project by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers."

Physical Ability Test
New York State Police Trooper Candidate Physical Ability Test
The New York State Police Physical Ability Test is designed to assess the following fitness components:
Flexibility - the ability of muscles and joints to operate through a normal range of motion without injury.
Dynamic Strength - the ability of the muscles to generate force to perform repeated tasks over an extended period of time.
Cardiovascular Endurance - the ability of the heart and vascular system to transport and utilize oxygen for sustained activity involving stamina.
The Trooper Physical Ability Test consists of three (3) subtests. A minimum performance score is required on each of the following three (3) of the subtests: Sit-Ups, Push-ups and the 1.5 Mile Run. These tests are scored in a pass/fail manner. The minimum physical fitness norms for hiring are included in a chart following the description of the subtests. The chart also includes the minimum fitness graduation norms a recruit must meet to successfully complete the Academy.
Subtest I - Sit-Ups
The candidate shall start in the supine position with knees bent, heels flat on the floor, and fingers interlaced and place behind the head. The candidate's feet will be held down at the ankle. The candidate shall raise the upper body touching the elbows to the knees, and then return down until the shoulder blades touch the floor. The candidates may rest in the up position only. The candidate must perform at least the minimum required number of correct sit-ups in one minute.
Starting Position (down)
Up Position
Subtest II - Push-ups
An administrator will hold a four (4) inch measuring device directly between and in line with the candidate's hands on the floor, under the candidate performing the push-up. The candidate will start with his/her hands placed approximately shoulders width apart on the floor and elbows fully extended. The back and remainder of the body should be kept straight at all times. From this full extension, known as the "up" position, the candidate will lower the body toward the floor until the sternum touches the device being held by the administrator. The candidate then returns to the fully extended "up" position. This completes one repetition. The candidate may rest in the "up" position only. The candidate must perform at least the minimum required number of correct push-ups.
Starting Position (up)
Down Position (2 Views)
Subtest III - 1.5 Mile Run
Candidates should refrain from smoking or eating for two hours preceding the test. Adequate time will be allowed for stretching and warm-up prior to the test. The candidate will run 6 laps on a 440-yard (1/4 mile) track to complete the 1.5-mile run as fast as possible. The candidate must perform the 1.5 mile run within the required time limit. Time will be allowed for stretching and cool-down following the test.
A word of caution
If you are not already following a rigorous physical fitness program, you should check with your doctor before you begin training. You may also find the following questionnaire helpful. It is a simple screening tool used to identify individuals who may need medical clearance by their physician before they start an exercise program.
|Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire
|Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and recommended only medically approved physical activity?
|Do you have chest pain brought on by physical activity?
|Have you developed chest pain at rest in the past month?
|Do you lose consciousness or lose your balance as a result of dizziness?
|Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be aggravated by the proposed physical activity?
|Is your doctor currently prescribing medication for your blood pressure or heart condition? (e.g., diuretics or water pills)
|Are you aware, through your own experience or a doctor's advice, of any other reason against your exercising without medical approval?
If you have answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you should consult with and/or visit your physician before beginning or continuing any physical training program. Pregnant women should be cleared by their physician before engaging in any exercise program.

The Red Dress Collection fashion show is one of the kickoff events to start New York Fashion Week, and focuses on raising awareness for women's heart health, according to The New York Daily News.
A number of A-list celebrities walked the runway in red gowns designed by the best in the business - including Diane von Furstenberg, Narisco Rodriguez, Marchesa and Alberta Ferretti.
A few of the stars had some trouble as they almost slipped while walking down the runway. This includes a veteran to the catwalk, model Christie Brinkley.
"You can't take a bad step when you're on that runway," Brinkley told the new source. "You're there supporting this worthwhile, meaningful cause. And if you slip and fall, you'll make the news and spread the word even more."
Other stars who strutted the runway include Minka Kelly, Rose McGowan, Gloria Estefan, La La Anthony, Jenna Elfman, Jennifer Nettles and Chaka Khan.
Kelly also stunned as she walked the red carpet before the event. She wore a form-fitting Diane von Furstenberg dress. She matched it with simple fashion jewelry and nude pumps, Us Weekly reports.
