I don't know about you, but I am losing faith in President Obama, his Democratic Party, and Government in general.
Eight times the President said that there would be transparency on health care by having C-span open to all of the deliberations. President Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi dance around the promise and give us one hour of transparency while the rest of that bill is hacked out and scammed out behind closed doors.
Take a look.
Scott Brown's incredible win in Massachusetts last night hopefully will open the eyes, ears, and hearts of our elected politicians both Democrats and Republicans. So let me say this:
Senator Levin, it is not the Levin seat, it is not the Democratic Party's seat; it is the people's seat.
Senator Stabenow, it is not the Stabenow seat, it is not the Democratic Party's seat; it is the people's seat.
Congressman John Dingell, it is not the Dingell seat. It is not the Democratic Party's seat; it is the people's seat.
Lady and gentlemen, wake up. Political parties had better get back to the people and not to the established lobbyists and bureaucratic elites who infect Washington DC.
The other day, my assistant, Jennifer and I were listening to President Obama give his speech in Ohio. We noticed that the President likes to use the personal pronoun "I" a great deal. In fact, we counted in a matter of about six minuets that he had used the word "I" thirty six times as he referred to himself. I guess that is what you would call a Big Ego.
The other interesting thing is that he told a Democratic Congressman, who was retiring, that Democrats should have no fear because they have "him", Obama. Well, so much for modesty.
And now to some slang.
When I was growing up using the term, "the Gift", meant that you had the ability to talk your way out of just about anything. The President, when he first took office, made the statement to some newspaper people that he had the Gift. And of course they assumed "the Gift" was his eloquent speaking abilities, but to me it always meant that he knew how to talk his way out of anything. Well, it seems like that is,President Obama's "Gift".
I watch Chris Matthews on cable quite frequently, just to find out what this dyed in the wool Democrat and Ex-Democratic staffer has to say about the state of our nation.
Chris, of course, is a Washington Elitist and lives well. Several times he has been very excited when he spoke of President Obama. You will recall him saying that he got a tingle up his leg when President Obama was elected. And now he has put his real racist cap on when he was speaking of President Obama state of the union speech and said, "I forgot he was black tonight." So much for our elitist news caster on MSNBC and his hidden racism. Typical elitist, typical. Shame on Chris Matthews.
Here is Chris Matthews getting another tingle with Ellen Degeneres
Over the years I have had many of Frabutt students. Of course, the mother of the clan is Cynthia. Now the reason I use the word "clan" is because Cynthia is a true Scotts woman. Being Scottish myself I'm a little jealous of the talent their family has.
Over the years Cynthia has been one of the local theater icons in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights. So take a look at what they're up to and I guarantee you that this will be a good show if Cynthia has anything to do with it.

Just as true today as it was when his book first came out.
He was, and still is, a brilliant businessman!
Often we need to be reminded of Iococca's words.
Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'.
Lee Iacocca Says:
Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course."
Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!
You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore. The President of the United States is given a free pass to ignore the Constitution, tap our phones, and lead us to war on a pack of lies.Congress responds to record deficits by passing a huge tax cut for the wealthy (thanks, but I don't need it). The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs. While we're fiddling in Iraq, the Middle East is burning and nobody seems to know what to do. And the press is waving pom-poms instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of America my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for.
I've had enough. How about you? I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have.
My friends tell me to calm down. They say, "Lee, you're eighty-two years old. Leave the rage to the young people." I'd love to, as soon as I can pry them away from their iPods for five seconds and get them to pay attention. I'm going to speak up because it's my patriotic duty. I think people will listen to me. They say I have a reputation as a straight shooter. So I'll tell you how I see it, and it's not pretty, but at least it's real. I'm hoping to strike a nerve in those young folks who say they don't vote because they don't trust politicians to represent their interests. Hey, America, wake up. These guys work for us.
Who Are These Guys, Anyway? Why are we in this mess? How did we end up with this crowd in Washington? Well, we voted for them, or at least some of us did. But I'll tell you what we didn't do. We didn't agree to suspend the Constitution. We didn't agree to stop asking questions or demanding answers. Some of us are sick and tired of people who call free speech treason. Where I come from that's a dictatorship, not a democracy.
And don't tell me it's all the fault of right-wing Republicans or liberal Democrats. That's an intellectually lazy argument, and it's part of the reason we're in this stew. We're not just a nation of factions. We're a people. We share common principles and ideals. And we rise and fall together.
Where are the voices of leaders who can inspire us to action and make us stand taller? What happened to the strong and resolute party of Lincoln? What happened to the courageous, populist party of FDR and Truman? There was a time in this country when the voices of great leaders lifted us up and made us want to do better. Where have all the leaders gone?

I've been going through a phase of spending over the past few weeks and have a good amount of skincare, makeup, and body care that's recently come into my life. Most of it is new to me and I think a lot of it is really fun. I have products from Kiehl's, Club Clio, and Muji that I'm particularly excited about.
So maybe we'll start there.
There were a couple of trips to Kiehl's, one of which involved a sale. I purchased four products that I'd been curious about, and then my husband picked out a couple from their men's line, as well. I have the Blue Herbal Gel Cleanser ($21), Nightly Refining Micro-Peel Concentrate ($54), Super Multi-Corrective Cream ($62), and Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado ($29). Those were all recommended to me after previous discussions with sales associates about my skin, and I'd tried and loved a sample of the cream. We also have the Ultimate Man Body Scrub Soap ($15) and Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash ($32 for the 16.9 oz. bottle).
I have some fun at Muji and recently purchased some skincare as well as some of the other kinds of items in their beauty and personal care section. On the left is just a double pack of tissues that I liked the shape of. They're wider and flatter packs than what Kleenex and similar brands make, and they just seem great for a purse situation. The green bottle is their All in One Essence from their organic range, and the brown bottle is the Moisturizing Milk from their high moisture range. Then there's some disposable razors and cosmetic paper. I also purchased some powder paper (not pictured) – I wasn't really sure what the powder paper and cosmetic papers were, so I just put both in my basket. The organic essence is the most expensive here at I think $22, but the others are extremely affordable, as is generally the case for Muji.
My Club Clio experience began at a JKNLEE sale, at the South Street Seaport in Manhattan, where most things were priced at 50% off. I decided to try this Kill Cover cushion foundation set, regularly priced at $49. It comes with a cushion compact, an full 1 oz. extra refill bottle of foundation, a bottle of primer, and two little puffs. The shade I bought (the lightest option of three) is a little light for me now but I think will be lovely in a month or two. I've tried it blended in with a darker foundation shade, and it seems like a lovely, luminous foundation, and includes SPF 50+.
Then, it turned out Club Clio in Union Square had a sale where, again, many products were around 50% off, so I decided to check out a few more things. I wasn't previously aware that there was a store there, but I'm glad to know about it now! A quick Google search told me that their Kill Black Brush Liner (regularly $25) is a good product to try, and I also decided to try the Kill Brow All Day Tattoo Brow Cara ($20), which is a double-ended brow pen and brow gel. I also grabbed the Eye-Ing Volume Mascara (original price unknown, on sale for $5). And, I decided to try a pack of Donkey Milk gel masks (pack of 10, regularly $40) from Soo Ae, which I believe is an associated or sub-brand of Club Clio, because it sounded fun. I've never tried gel masks before, and these guys put actual donkey milk in theirs.
There's a Nature Republic right around the corner from Club Clio and they had put this range of masks on sale for $1 each (regularly $4). So I grabbed a few in mango, camellia, cacao, and basil, as well as a little hand sanitizer with a white musk scent. The little green bottle of the Cell Booster Essential Skin toner was a freebie sample that I'm kind of excited to try now that I've read about it on their website.
My Sephora purchases aren't terribly exciting, unfortunately. I really just wanted to replace my Sephora Collection Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer ($14), as I recently used one up, and then I wanted to try and find a makeup remover that wasn't too expensive and that I could take with me on a trip. I landed on the travel sized Boscia MakeUp-BreakUp Cool Cleansing Oil, ($10 for the small 1.7 oz. size). I also picked up the Marc Jacobs lipstick and eyeliner birthday duo, and redeemed 100 points for a little tube of the First Aid Beauty Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream.
I've tried a couple of L'Oreal mascaras recently, one that I really dislike, and one that I really enjoy. The Voluminous Butterfly Sculpted Waterproof formula really surprised me because I really enjoyed the Butterfly and Butterfly Intenza (washable) mascaras, but this one is super thick, clumpy, and smudgy. Maybe the Butterfly Waterproof formula is just no good for me. The Miss Manga Rock (washable) mascara, on the other hand, is fabulous and really surprised me in a good way. I'll take some photos soon.
I recently started using a body wash from the Whole Foods house brand 365 Everyday Value, and think it's great, plus it's really cheap – right around $3, I think. I have very sensitive, dry skin and this one is really nice and gentle while still having a gel consistency. And then when I was in a grocery store in Chinatown, I spotted a body wash from Hong Kong brand O'Naomi (around $9 for a hefty 28.3 oz.). The ingredients piqued my interest because SLS is further down the ingredients than it normally lives, and there are number of soothing ingredients above it. So, we'll see.
Have you tried any of these, or have you purchased anything recently that you're really excited about? I'd love to hear!

I would describe this shade as a medium neutral pink lipstick that leans slightly warm. What I have always loved the most about Chanel lipsticks is their texture and consistency. I can see myself making this one of my everyday polished work lipsticks. It looks great with both cool and warm makeup and it's perfect for this upcoming spring/summer season. I paired this shade with my new Urban Decay Desperation eyeliner (which I smudged with Quarry eyeshadow on the upper lash line). I also used NARS Mata Hari blush to add that pink glow :)
I think that Chanel Legende may just be the first Chanel lipstick that I picked out without asking/needing the help from the Chanel makeup artist. I don't know why but often I like to visit makeup counters as if I know 'nothing' about makeup, just to see what the other person will recommend for me. It was fun at first, kind of like being a makeup 'secret agent' :) However, now I know what I want and I don't wait to hear what someone else thinks, but rather follow my own intuition!!!

- Anastasia Pather
'Meeting you' is a live exhibition and quiet painting performance by Johannesburg artist Anastasia Pather. The work is a visual exploration into the architecture of memory and the politics of association. It is as uncomplicated and ungendered as a reclining nude that simultaneously evokes visceral action and abstract reaction that is both empowered and disarmed by its superficiality and preconceptions.
'Meeting you' is an introductory meeting with Cape Town and invites muses and interdisciplinary collaborators to explore the transience of 'jazz bonding'.
Anastasia Pather is a reluctant artist, finger painter and female who is concerned with surface.
Read an insightful interview by Steyn du Toit here (published in the Cape Times) and scroll down to view performance videos and the exhibition catalogue.

Oracle's SPARC systems and Solaris OS are co-engineered to provide efficient virtualization technology. SPARC virtualization is "Built into Firmware" which reduces costs and improves performance.
Oracle has proved its virtualization performance advantages through rigorous public testing. SPEC1, the performance standards group, defined the SPECvirt_sc2010 benchmark to uniformly measure the end-to-end performance of all system components that make up a virtualized environment. The SPECvirt_sc2012 benchmark is a good indicator of virtualization performance, which is critical for any cloud environment.
Virtualization Performance
Figure 1. SPARC T5-2 is 2.3x faster in the SPECvirt_sc2010 benchmark versus the best VMware result on an HP BL620c G7 two-processor x86-based blade server.
Oracle's SPARC T5-2 server running Oracle Solaris 11 delivered a two-socket world-record SPECvirt_sc2010 result of 4270 @ 264 VMs. This result demonstrates the superiority of Oracle's SPARC T5 processors with Oracle Solaris virtualization and demonstrates the leadership SPARC servers provide in large-scale environments.
SPARC Customer Successes
Large Communications Provider utilizing the Oracle Optimized Solution for Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure, running on SPARC T5 Servers, realized 2.5x faster virtual server deployment versus bare metal for faster time-to-user and administrative productivity.
Regional Water Company realized 7x better cost/performance for virtualized Java, and 2x faster data warehouse performance and order-entry transactions than IBM running Oracle Solaris, Database, Applications and Middleware on SPARC T5 servers with Oracle VM for SPARC versus competitive systems.
Oil and Gas Company running Oracle Database, PeopleSoft, and SAP on Oracle SPARC T5 servers achieved 3x faster provisioning of new services and OPEX savings of $2.8M using Oracle VM for SPARC.
Oracle SPARC T5-2 Server
Utilizing modular design architecture and powered by either one or two SPARC T5 processors—Oracle's most powerful SPARC processors ever—the SPARC T5-2 server delivers exceptional single- and multi-thread performance. With 16 cores and 16 memory slots per SPARC T5 processor, the SPARC T5-2 server provides extreme compute density, with up to 32 cores and 1 TB of system memory within a 3U enclosure. Oracle has also proven that the SPARC T5-2 is the fastest server for Java applications, which is critical in many cloud deployments. The SPARC T5-2 is 1.8x faster than the best Intel 2-chip x86 E5 v2 Ivy-Bridge-based Cisco UCS C240 M3 server.2
The SPARC T5 server running Oracle Solaris 11 utilizes embedded virtualization products, such as the Oracle VM Server for SPARC and Oracle Solaris Zones, which provide a low overhead, flexible, scalable and manageable virtualization environment with no extra cost for customers that have Oracle premier support.

Langley Mill progressed to the second round of the Marstons Smooth cup with a 39 run win over Wirksworth.
A personal milestone was reached by Paul Bailey during the Millers innings as he smashed his 10,000th run as Langley Mill posted a commanding 313/6 in their 50 overs.
It was not all plain sailing for the Millers who lost a couple of early wickets, firstly Pinder (10) and then Salmons (32).
At the half way point the Millers had reached 141/2 with Bailey and Thimal rebuilding and pushing the Millers towards a large score.
Thimal (52) was the next to fall after being bowled by Marshall, with the score at 186/3.
Simon Lacey (35) came and supported Bailey (67) before they both fell within a few overs of each other.
The Millers, now in a commanding position with the big guns ready to come in, went on to smash 90 runs from their last 10 overs.
For Wirksworth, Rowland and Woolley picked up a wicket a piece and there was two wickets each for Perry-Taylor and Marshall.
With such a large total to chase it did not seem likely that there would be any other outcome than a Millers victory.
Syed Abrar, a 17 year-old from the UAE, had other ideas as he hit an impressive 115, although Wirksworth were never up with the run rate.
Yet they had not lost many wickets either so a charge was on the cards, with Abrar and Jeffriess (32) putting on 100 for the third wicket.
This left Wirksworth at 136/3 off 33, before Ben Perry-Taylor came in and hit a brisk 21 and Marshall 36 to leave the Millers starting to twitch a little as the run rate increased.
Thimal then struck with four overs to go removing Abrar for 115, with some quick work by Pinder behind the stumps.
This then swung the game back to the Millers with 50 being required off 4 with the danger man gone.
In the end Wirksworth finished on 274/8 after an excellent chase, which didnt look likely at the half way stage.
The Millers will now face Rolls Royce away in three weeks time at Rolls Royce.

Die Reformation in Magdeburg- Luther und die Johanniskirche

Martin Luther got to know the cathedral city on the Elbe at an early age. In 1497, at the age of thirteen, he attended the Brethren of the Common Life School in Magdeburg. In order to earn his keep, he purportedly went through the city begging and singing, which was not at all uncommon at that time. 1524 proved to be of vital importance for Magdeburg and the Reformation: At the request of Mayor Nicolaus Sturm, Martin Luther came to the city in June of that year in order to preach. The response that his stay triggered was overwhelming. Due to the enormous crowds at his sermon in the church at the Augustinian monastery (now called the Walloon Church) on 24 June 1524, the sermon was repeated in St. John's Church two days later.
Famous names dominate the more than 1.200-year history of the Ottostadt Magdeburg. The city was Emperor Otto the Great's favourite residence, and Otto von Guericke – who invented the air pump – once determined the fate of the city as its mayor. But the name Ottostadt,which Magdeburg has only recently adopted, actually alludes to much more: an attitude towards life, hospitality. A very warm welcome indeed!
St. John's Church is the oldest parish church in Magdeburg, and is a Romanesque-style, three-aisle cruciform basilica from 1131.
The history of the church is extremely eventful. Although the church was destroyed several times by fires in the city as well as by Count Tilly's forces during the siege of the city in 1631, it was always rebuilt. St. John's Church is also closely tied to Martin Luther's activities in the city. On 26 June 1524 he held a famous sermon in the overcrowded church.
The Walloon Church is a High Gothic three-aisled hall church. As a former monastery church belonging to a mendicant order, its appearance is quite simple. The first stone was laid in 1285 by monks of the Order of St. Augustine, who founded the St. Augustine Monastery.

When I saw this sentiment on YouTube, I immediately thought of my nephew who is turning 11 soon.
Card Front
Inside of Card
Size: Horizontal top fold A2 card
Extra Details: I began the card by raiding my box of previous colored and cut images. I found enough trees, cars, gifts and cupcakes to make two really cute scenes.
I die cut the letters for BEEPING out of some red card stock. I stamped the black outlines on the letters. I think it added to the masculine feel of this card. I also cut the hill and road for the card front using a simple stitched hillside die.
Then, I adhered everything to a blue card base. I finished the sentiment by stamping the smaller words in black ink.
Stamps Used: Lawn Fawn's Quinn's Capital ABCs, Home for the Holidays, Happy Trails, Dad + Me, and Happy Happy Happy
Dies Used: Lawn Fawn's Simple Stitched Hillsides and Quinn's Capital ABCs
Paper: Lawn Fawn's Freebies
Ink: Versa Fine
Hope you enjoyed the card!

To become a world class stud farm.
To breed and sell superior race horses to the markets in Dubai, Hong-Kong, Singapore and United States.
To breed winners of top races internationally.
To continue to produce winners for the most prestigious races in the country.
To upgrade our systems, personnel and stock to international standards.
The Prestigious Champion Stud Farm Award given by the Turf Authorities of India has been won as many as seven times already by Usha Stud:
2013 - 14
2010 - 11
2004 - 05
2003 - 04
1998 - 99
1996 - 97
1995 - 96
Usha Stud Farm was the dream child of Maj. P. K. Mehra, an international polo player of repute. Well before it was established, he had ventured into breeding while still a young captain, by importing Eagle Don*, his first mare, in foal to Entanglement. Eagle Don* duly dropped her foal. That foal, a filly, was named MICA EXPRESS and she went on to win the South India Oaks, Gr.1. Maj. Mehra had hit the bull's eye with his very first shot.
His appetite whetted, he persuaded his father, a doctor with the United Nations, to advance him a small loan. With that he brought out his first batch of three mares - Nut*, Dusty Marta* and Traxana*. These mares were boarded at another stud farm while Maj. Mehra struggled with the travails that go with having to give a finite shape to a nebulous dream. His break came when the Italian Ambassador to India, a keen polo player himself, agreed to stand guarantee for a bank loan with which a stud farm could be set up.
Maj. Mehra was now the Commandant of President's Bodyguard and it was in the sprawling complex of his official residence in the RashtrapatiBhavan that the embryonic Usha Stud had its beginning. He collected his mares from other farms, brought out another consignment of horses from England, including Grey Gaston, a stallion on whose remarkable prepotence the edifice of Usha Stud grew rapidly. It was here that Dusty Marta* was covered by Grey Gaston. It was here that the foal of that covering was born. That foal was MANITOU, the first foal born at Usha Stud and the first of Usha Stud's record of eleven Indian Derby winners.
Already, MajMehra was looking ahead. He had bought land in Gurgaon, not far from Delhi's airport and the stock shifted there in 1973. Usha Stud now had not only a name but a place as well. There has been no looking back, ever since. In the years following that modest beginning, Usha Stud has run up an impressive list of achievements. 315 Classics have been won by Usha Stud-breds giving it an annual average of seven Classics a year. That average is the highest in India. Those 315 Classic wins include 13 IndianDerbys of which five were won in a row. 13 Usha Stud-bred fillies have won the Indian Oaks including six in successive years. The two winning sequences are not replicated in Indian turf history. MANITOU, Usha Stud's first Indian Derby winner won the race by 10 lengths. That winning margin has not been improved upon till today. STARSKY, Usha Stud's ninth Indian Derby winner, won the race in 2002, the fastest ever time. MANITOU to SOUTHERN REGENT, a glorious chapter that is testimony to where Usha Stud stands today.
The founder of Usha Stud was a natural horseman and he believed in natural rearing of horses, providing them with ample space and an healthy environment. Success on track helped in getting better prices for the produce and a major part of the profits was ploughed back into increasing acreage and infrastructure.
Maj. Mehra strode across the Indian racing and breeding scene like a colossus. He had many attributes but the ones for which he will be best remembered are the speed element which he introduced, the innovative marketing techniques that he adopted and above all, his uncanny knack when it came to selecting a stallion.
The Usha Stud stallions have done themselves proud. In the office of the Registrar of the Indian Stud Book are photographs of stallions which have produced ten or more individual Classic winners. Only seventeen stallions in the entire history of Indian breeding have passed through the needle's eye to adorn that wall. Six stallions have stood at Usha Stud.
It's a tribute to Maj. Mehra and his foresight that the edifice he constructed, from the foundation up, was so strong and resilient that the performance of his brainchild has not suffered a whit. In fact, so successfully has the baton been passed on to his daughter Ameeta that Usha Stud has gone from strength to strength.
After China Visit, Multidimensional was added to the Stallion Roster and he has proved an absolute sensation with his three Classic Crops till date:
The latest recruit Speaking Of Which (retired to stud in 2014), has his first foals on the ground and there is every reason to be highly bullish about him. The Invincible Spirit Sire line is presently making the headlines and his nicking patterns with Multidimensional, Razeen, China Visit and Steinbeck mares provide great assurance for the future.
Usha Stud farm has been at the top, in the Stud Farm Rankings throughout this period. Consequently it is not surprising that it is commonly referred to as the "Best Stud Farm in India".
The man who started it all :
Maj P K Mehra

Subjecting our youth to cyberspace experiments
The walls around the world of tweens and teens are becoming almost impenetrable to parents today. I know, we say this every generation. Adults just can't fathom the music, fashion or language of young people. But in the two decades that I've been studying youth and media, I have never seen marketers with such a firm grasp on the hearts, minds and wallets of kids.
Take, for example, the MySpace/Facebook phenomenon. For the uninitiated, these are "online social networks" in which registered users create profiles to post information about themselves and their interests and link to other people and other sites. Sites such as these are free to users and are underwritten by big companies with an interest in getting information out to adolescents and -- more importantly -- gleaning information from them. Market research companies troll personal pages for "data" and advertising agencies leverage online social networks to start "buzz" about a product or new movie or new musical artist. MySpace is such a goldmine that last year it was purchased by Rupert Murdoch's company for $500 million. The brains behind Facebook are reportedly expecting to sell their company for $2 billion. Most kids who use these sites barely bat an eye at having their information collected and co-opted by big business. Marketers say that young people like to feel empowered as Internet users and consumers, and they are probably right. These sites give adolescents the ability to customize their pages, just as they customize their wardrobes. It helps define their place in the world, something that all adolescents strive to do at one point or another. So what's the problem?
When identity development is carefully watched and intricately manipulated by marketers, then what's in the best interest of the child is pushed aside to make way for what's in the best interest of Murdoch's shareholders. Few adults (outside of those who stand to profit) have ventured into these spaces or understand how they may be affecting the way adolescents see themselves or others. It may be true that the kids are not telling advertisers "I don't want this," but when stealth marketing occurs in adult-free zones, parents don't have the opportunity to say "I don't want this for my child." At a recent forum in Washington sponsored by the nonpartisan advocacy group Children Now, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D.N.Y., spoke about the vast, uncontrolled experiment we are conducting on our children with new media and new marketing strategies. As I listened, I thought about how, as a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, all of my studies are scrutinized by a carefully trained panel of scientists to ensure that no harm comes to child participants. If only we could say the same for the media and advertising industries.
As a result, researchers are left playing catch-up, studying after the fact the impact of media on developing children. It takes a lot of money to assess the complicated and idiosyncratic ways media influence children. Marketers have that kind of money. Universities don't. But there is hope. Sitting in committee right now is a most unusual bill -- unusual in part because of the diversity of its Senate sponsors: Clinton, Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., Rick Santorum, R-Pa., and Sam Brownback, R-Kansas. The Children and Media Research Advancement (CAMRA) Act would authorize long-term funding to establish a coherent research program on the many forms of electronic media and the myriad ways it affects children, from their developing brains to their developing bodies. The CAMRA Act suggests that while political parties are divided on many issues, there is one issue on which we agree: Our children are too precious to be left to drift alone in cyberspace away from the careful watch of people who actually care about their well-being.
There ought to be a law
What: Senate Bill 1902, Children and Media Research Advancement (CAMRA) Act
Who: Authored by Sen. Joe Lieberman, and co-sponsored by Sen. Hillary Clinton, and others.
Where it stands: Vote expected in September.

Origin and Construction of slave houses in Barbados by Matthew Cornibert
This research project is about the origins of slave huts and how they were constructed. Slave houses were made from materials such as stone and wood. Mainly wattle and daub houses with thatched roofs were built in Barbados. Slaves constructed and repaired their own houses. From an interview with Mr. Trevor Marshall to discuss the location of slave huts in Barbados he gave his views on the construction.
Housing for slaves in Barbados became a necessity from the commencement in slavery times. Slaves were brought into Barbados to work on the sugar plantations. They had to construct and repair their own houses known as "slave huts". The most popular slave houses that were built in Barbados are the wattle and daub houses with a thatched roof. Later, stone houses were constructed but also used thatched roofs. Slaves worked hard on plantations, giving their all and taking everything they masters give them.
From early in Barbadian plantation history, slave settlements were placed very close to the plantation yard and almost universally within ready sight of the mansion house itself. Wherever you see a slave hut, there is or was a plantation nearby. Most of the slave huts that are standing today can be found in the parish of St. Lucy on the road to River Bay.
Figure 1Figure 1 shows a stone hut with a thatched roof. The walls were made with stones. The slave roof covered with outside leaves. The roof can be made with a variety of leaves.
Roof thatching in Barbados was made from plantain leaves (especially in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries), palm leaves or branches and what was the most common type, the leaves or trash of the sugar cane. Huts like this needed constant maintenance and frequent replacement. Later, stone and wooden houses may have had wooden frames and shutters similar to those in working class houses in the twentieth century.
In the mid-seventeenth century thatching was on Barbadian planters' houses along with the high class and poor whites.
Figure 2
Shows plantain trees as the leaves were used for the thatched method. Plantain leaves were used for the roof because there are large, strong, waterproof, flexible and also decorative. Figure 3
This illustration shows different stages of the palm leaf. These leaves were used for the making of the roof of slave huts in Barbados.

At Lump we spend a lot of time in backyards. Much of our work tends to be sought after to adorn the private areas of a residential home. But more and more we are seeing the trend move toward the front.
Something I don't normally bang on about much is the letterbox or the front door. But over the years at Lump we have gathered quite a collection of customised pieces that make a big entrance. Literally.
Many of our light feature panels and screens have been customized to incorporate functionality. The humble letterbox, front door, entrance gate or security fence is now, more than ever filled with design possibility.
It is easy to see why these residential projects are a couple of my favourite examples of how the final touches of a residential home can be moved to the front for all to see.
Little Red Photography
There is a strong sculptural element to this letterbox that compliments the size and shape of the seemingly interlocking wall that follows into the entrance garden. It sits high above the line of the fence with strong contrasting materials and colours and clearly advertises the address.
Complimenting the texture and appearance of the letterbox is a cluster of Lump Spheres, which effortlessly peek out from the upper levels of the residence.
Little Red Photography
Inside the gate, visitors are greeted with a Lump Stainless steel ethanol fire bowl and the warm textural tones of the Lump Faux Rust Finish, which has been applied to the front door.
Little Red Photography
These residential homes are not only an incredible example of modern design and architecture. They are also an incredible example of how versatile our Lump finishes and textures, sculpture and functionality in design can be.

This garden (above) designed by Steve Taylor from C.O.S Design and constructed by Hamilton Landscapes is set on a huge elevation and was basically built on a sand dune in the heart of the Beaumaris area.
A Lump Letterbox is featured in the street scape along with a series of retaining walls and a great mix of architectural plants. Huge floating steps make a pathway up to the pool and the entertaining space which is set in the front yard to take advantage of the view of the bay. And over the spa is a canter levered pergola that features a Lump Ink Blot screen as the canopy that casts decorative reflections into the water.
Image courtesy of C.O.S Design
A custom designed Lump Light Feature Panel is also set among the retaining walls and is a great night time feature as well as part of the privacy plan and the design reflecting the local tea trees in the area is continued through the front gate.
Clearly not all residential projects are the same. But with a focus on moving sculptural design aspects to the front of your home, it is to say the least, an exciting starting point to draw inspiration from when planning how you can make yours a big entrance too.

With autumn upon us, don't shy away from enjoying the colorful foliage with the kids.
My 20-month-old son Jasper sees his surrounding environment each day with new eyes as he grows and learns.
It is continually important to me to help him in his development by giving him opportunities to experience the outdoors in every season, even in the rainy, wet months. Children are incredibly observant creatures who have growing brains ready to be stimulated by their environment. It continues to amaze me how many times I will hear my son say "caw-caw," indicating a bird he heard or saw that I wasn't aware of.
Now that autumn is here, the air has a cooler quality, the light of the sun is less intense and more angled, and the smells of wood smoke, fermenting fruit and crispness fill my nose. Perhaps the most obvious of all these changes in the turning season are the trees. Here in the Northwest, our changing native trees might not be as striking as on the East Coast with their deciduous forests of brightly colored leaves. However, in the city of Eugene, we are blessed with hundreds of species of trees that make for a spectacular fall.
There are many fun activities that families can do with their children to get kids outside exploring, touching, feeling and being outdoors during the autumn months. Because the trees are such an incredible part of our landscape, here are some activities that can incorporate the life of trees into your child's everyday experience.
- Find a tree in your neighborhood that hasn't completely turned color. Visit the tree as often as possible and help your child(ren) take pictures of it until all the leaves have fallen. Make a photo time sequence of the changing tree.
- Collect fallen leaves and make fall-themed art projects.
- Paint leaves and press on paper for collages.
- Create leaf critters using different types of leaves to make owls, foxes, crows and more.
- Glue or tape various leaves onto construction paper and identify the leaves for a fun, quick look at "Tree Leaf ID."
- Create a leaf pile in your yard and jump in! Great for little ones. Do teach them to stay out of piles in the street, however, as this can be a safety issue.
- Find nuts and seeds from trees. Which trees do acorns come from? How many different kinds of acorns can you find? How do the animals in our environment use nuts and seeds in their diets? How do we?
- Take a walk around the University of Oregon campus to find leaves and to see the incredible variety of species of trees. In contrast, go to Mount Pisgah Arboretum where you will find some non-native trees and also a natural native forest and talk about the differences.
- Fall is also the season of abundance. Look up and down and find trees whose fruit is falling from which no one is harvesting. For families with older kids, find an apple tree, harvest the apples, then go home and make applesauce.
The easiest activity you can do with your kids is to just go outside! Go for walks in the daytime or evening. Use all your senses to interact with the amazing environment around you. For me, it helps on these walks to turn my mind to gratitude.
Many of us associate autumn with thanksgiving, but feeling gratitude daily can actually change the brain's chemistry to healthiness and happiness.
When you are outside, look at the trees and all that is around you and take a moment to ask your family — what are you grateful for? You may be amazed by the results.
Anna Bradley is a clinical herbalist, musician, and co-founder/Development Director of the local nonprofit Whole Earth Nature School. She and her husband, Matt, have a 20-month-old son named Jasper and live in Eugene.

Sister Act
Nora Jane as Aoife Stacey in TV3's Deception
By David Hennessy
Nora-Jane Noone will be familiar to many from her lead role in Peter Mullan's hard hitting study of institutional abuse, The Magdalene Sisters in 2002. She won plaudits for her performance as Bernadette alongside Anne-Marie Duff's Margaret. What made the teenage actress' performance even more impressive was that it was just her first screen role.
The Magdalene Sisters earned widespread critical acclaim with its director taking the Golden Lion for best director at the Venice Film Festival. Did Nora-Jane feel a little pressure following her first screen role making such an impact? "It was a shock how big it was when it came out. I was 17 so I didn't know how realistic it would be to pursue an acting career and I think once that had happened, I then had to do my learning so for me it was backwards: that happened and I started doing as many things as I possibly could to try out different characters and work out different ways of working and training myself up in the meantime, that's the journey I was on after that."
Mullan, the star of Channel 4's brilliant, recently-screened The Fear, also starred in Trainspotting, Shallow Grave and Paddy Considine's Tyrannosaur. How was the award winning director to work with? "He was amazing, he was great and I guess, because I was so raw and didn't have training, he was so amazing at guiding us through every scene. Obviously because he's an amazing actor himself, he knew what was needed and that was amazing. He was very patient, very supporting. He just seemed very solid and very calm about the whole thing. He didn't really talk about that. I think he was so involved in the project, it meant so much to him."
Since then she has gone on to claim roles in Coronation Street and British horror film, The Descent. Nora-Jane can currently be seen in TV3's Deception. Set on a ghost estate, the drama is a stark portrait of post-Celtic Tiger Ireland and allowed the London based actress from Newcastle, Galway to return to her home county: "It was lovely, it was really nice. We were out in the Connemara Coast Hotel which is beautiful. I could only see the first episode myself so I haven't been able to follow it as it goes but from what I've heard speaking to the producer and all that, the viewings were good for the first episode so hopefully that continues."
Deception is TV3's first original drama, is Nora- Jane proud to be a part of it? "Yeah, I guess that's part of the excitement signing up to it in the first place. Obviously, everybody's been hit by it (crumbling of the Celtic Tiger economy) so it kind of shows how difficult it is from many different points of view. Obviously you've got the main family but I think it's good to show that broad view."
We will soon see Nora-Jane share the screen with another member of the Trainspotting cast as she stars in January with James Cosmo: "He's great, a lovely man. It was amazing, he's got such a presence. Everyone was lovely on it so it was a great experience. It was a great, kind of an ensemble feature film with six of us in the cast and filmed near Durham in a stately home which was very fun. It's basically about a young woman who comes home, she's been in an accident and she can't remember her past so she's coming home to her family who are all strangers to her and she's just realising who she is and where she comes from."

Posted 27th June by Vincent Goh
I was presented with an issue whereby software updates (configuration items) were not replicating from the central parent site down to a particular child primary site. The symptoms of this being that if a certain update list, update package, or update deployment contained one of the missing updates (CI_items) then the effected object(s) would not appear in the console, and therefore I cannot deploy the effected update(s) at the child site
In this scenario I found a backlog of .CID files in the inbox folder below, each .CID file representing an update which couldn't be processed.
The retry is attempted 100 times and then the .CID is place in the 'bad' folder
When SMS_OBJECT_REPLICATION_MANAGER attempts to process the effected CI's the following is logged to the objreplmgr.log which indicates the failure:
Processing replication file d:\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\objmgr.box\INCOMING\RetryGL_42586.CID in retry.
Failed to insert Object 6298a02f-0a6a-4f34-b832-08059b682b63 from replication file d:\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\objmgr.box\INCOMING\RetryGL_48796.CID.
On to the resolution, I found that running the following 6 SQL queries on the effected child sites resolved the issue:
Delete from CI_ConfigurationItems Where CIType_ID in (1, 6, 8);
Update CI_SDMPackages set IsDeleted = 1 where SourceSite = 'ZZZ';

By Molly Haig, AmeriCorps member serving on the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care team at Hennigan School
I wasn't sure what to do after college. I felt like a melting ice cube on a flat surface—spreading in many directions but not fully committed to any of them. Research? Go abroad? Graduate school? Eventually I resigned myself to the fact that I just didn't know. So instead of choosing a grad school or a career, I chose an idea: I would do something exciting, challenging and meaningful, and just see what happened.
I'm glad that idea brought me to City Year, because while I'm still not sure what's next, this year I'm developing professional skills that will help me in whatever I do, wherever I end up. Here are three skills City Year is helping me to build.
Skill 1: Collaboration
Usually, I try to figure things out myself, but this year I've been finding that that's often not the best solution. If I have questions about how to support in-class instruction, it's best to ask my teachers. If I have 16 giant letters to cut out for a bulletin board, it's best to recruit a teammate.
Even informal conversations are a great source of inspiration and support. When I have a question, I know I can turn to my fellow 6th-grade teammate, Natasha. She has creative ideas for literacy interventions and lesson plans, and is always willing to discuss behavior, math, or whatever might come up.
Collaboration is a vital part of being on a team, but it's also an important leadership skill. I was planning a family math night for my school. This seemed daunting until I explained the event to my team, split them into committees, and gave them time to brainstorm. They came up with ideas I never would have thought of on my own—like having paper tablecloths with math problems written on them, and giving guests markers to write solutions.
Skill 2: Give the BEST High-Fives
You might not see this as a "professional" skill, but in the world of building relationships with students, it most certainly is one. "Hey! It's you! You're here! That's great!" we chanted. My student William* and his younger sister entered the school and I gave them double high-fives. "Good morning!" I called out as the next swarm of students approached. Of course, there's a lot behind those high-fives than bringing morning joy to the school. They're a sign of the confident communicator I'm beginning to become.
In college, my to-do lists consisted of things to do by myself: essays, research papers, reading responses, drawings, event posters, choreography. In contrast, my daily to-do list at City Year is riddled with names and initials: check in with Mr. E, meet with team leader, remind S., J., and L. about lunch buddies, Call C.'s mom, attend math committee meeting.
Phone calls to parents, conversations with partner-teachers, and feedback sessions with leaders all initially unsettled me. But this year I'm developing stronger communication skills, and that's what the high-fives mean. They show that I'm comfortable enough in this role to reach out to students (and teachers, and leaders, and teammates) whether that entails a phone call home to check in on an absent student, or just a welcome-to-school high-five.
Skill 3: Balance
I'm still working on this skill, but in weeks when I get it right, I find that I'm more present and enthusiastic in my service, and can better support my students. For me, finding balance usually means dancing. I've established routines of attending ballet and contemporary classes, rehearsals for my dance company and swing dance events. I'm much happier when I dance, even if it means losing a little sleep. It also helps me stay organized—I prioritize dance after service on some days of the week, so I plan ahead and get my preparations for the next service day done earlier.
Of course balance does not have to come from dance. It could come from your family, reading novels, cooking, pick-up ultimate Frisbee games, or making plans for next year. But it should be something. For me, dancing strengthens muscles (figuratively and literally) that I need to stay upright. It keeps me inspired and reminds me of who I am outside of work. At City Year, I'm realizing how important it is to keep things you care about in your life, and I hope the work/life routines I'm establishing this year will carry through to the future.

tories on women's rights: stfu
This party is melting down left and right. Imagine if we had a real opposition!

Oh there is an opposition, if there wasn't, Brother Steve would have criminalized abortion a long time ago. Guaranteed. Go to my place, I have a 3 year old video that everyone should watch.
In the end, Sen Nancy Ruth basically warned of what is to come should Steve get a majority.
Here's my post, I also have audio-link.

I heard the audio on the Toronto Star site.
If there was an opposition, these bastards would have been out of government a long time ago.

No, unfortunately, it just ain't that simple. Steve has one significant and invaluable asset. he now owns most of Mainstream media, with the exception of perhaps the TO Star, some columnists from Grope & Fail and some from CBC, Harper has MSM in complete lockstep with him serving his kool-aid which the majority centrists these days are only too happy to swallow. How else do you explain the centrists sudden willingness to be veered on Steve's sharp right turn?
Why do you think when Liberals try to be oppositional, they get lambasted in the media?
Also, many of these con pundits refuse to let ADSCAM die, which is hurting them.
It's a serious problem
- Monday, May 03, 2010 5:44:00 PM
- L-girl said...
I'm aware that it's a serious problem. I wasn't intending to oversimplify, just giving a quick response.
I am very frustrated by the spineless, pathetic, do-nothing, stand-for-nothing Liberals, and not too impressed with the NDP these days, either.
I can't blame Ignatieff's Liberals on the media.
It's not necessary to debate it here, though.
- Monday, May 03, 2010 5:48:00 PM
- L-girl said...
I actually find the media in Canada quite critical of the Conservatives, relative to the US MSM. Many conservative columnists are openly critical Harper. The G&M is almost always anti-Harper - except during election season.
In this case, I think blaming the media for the longevity of the Harper government is being verrry kind - and very blind. Harper has played Ignatieff like a violin. It's completely pathetic.
"Oh there is an opposition" really means there is not a majority. It doesn't actually mean Harper gets opposed on anything.

Unfortunately, media influences election outcomes (90% approx)

If u don't have media on your side, you're already in a heap of trouble.

I think you're seriously misreading this senator and the context of her remark. Yes she's a Conservative - appointed by Paul Martin - and a fierce advocate for women's rights. Don't get blinded by partisanship.

With respect, I can only say: DUH.
No kidding. Media influences elections. Do tell.
With or without the media, Michael Ignatieff is a friggin jellyfish. You can do as many poli-sci papers as you want, it won't help him grow a spine.

Do you mean my partisanship or hers? I have no party. Anyone who reads my blog should know that.
I'm familiar with Nancy Ruth. Pro-war, anti-worker, and I would hardly call her an advocate for women. One cannot be anti-choice and an advocate for women.
I listened to the whole audio clip, and I don't think it's taken out of context.

G&M endorsed Harper in last elections.
At G&M only Ric Salutin, Lawrence Martin and Tabatha Southey are not conservative. The rest of 'em are.
Even TO Star has con writers like Rosie di Manno, Angelo Perischilli.
Liberals have to find a way of getting media back.
Steve also does backroom deals with Jack and Gilles as well, that's his game: divide and conquer, and he plays it skilfully. Of course, success depends on his current mandate, needing only one party to keep him afloat.
Doesn't help when pundits insist on keeping ADSCAM alive and well...hell G&M's Daniel Leblanc did a 3 part series that reads like a novel, resurrecting ADSCAM.
Liberals have got to somehow get past that once and for all.
Will be difficult since separatists are also keeping it alive and well as they blame ADSCAM from preventing the yes side to win in 1995. An uphill battle indeed.
- Monday, May 03, 2010 6:22:00 PM
- L-girl said...
My mistake, she is pro-choice. Sorry about that, Ms Ruth.
But "fierce advocate for women", I'm going to need more evidence for that one.
- Monday, May 03, 2010 6:25:00 PM
- redsock said...
since we all can hear the quote, i'd be interested in hearing what mound thinks the actual context was.
- Monday, May 03, 2010 6:30:00 PM
- L-girl said...
I'm aware of the various endorsements.
The Liberals have to find a way of being liberal, find a leader who knows how to lead, taking a stand, and showing the country that they stand for something.
As long as we have a Con-Lib coalition, the Cons will only get stronger.
CK, with respect, enough already.

I'd suggest you have a read of "Just Another Willy Loman's" take on Ruth. In particular he notes her role in founding LEAF and The Canadian Women's Foundation. I agree with his view that she's warning her audience that Harper isn't to be taken lightly on this issue and to be careful.
- Monday, May 03, 2010 6:36:00 PM

Thanks. I am aware of her association with LEAF and CWF. I know she is always called "feminist Senator Ruth". But I just don't agree that the many people who are upset about her remark are taking anything out of context. She's saying abortion rights are safe in Canada (not necessarily true) so we shouldn't care about the G8 initiative? I don't appreciate being told not to care about international women's health because Harper will only make it worse.

Wait, what?? How did that happen?
- Monday, May 03, 2010 6:50:00 PM
- CK said...
Imp Strumpet: it's true. She was a Paul Martin appointee under the Progressive Conservative brand, even though it was defunct.
After reading more, perhaps she did mean it as a warning, as she would know first hand How Brother Steve really is and what he would do or not do.
It doesn't excuse her delivery though
- Monday, May 03, 2010 7:00:00 PM
- CK said...
Oh gosh, with numbers like Iggy's, getting too cocky never a good idea.
Remember how he dropped the gauntlet last fall? His numbers plummeted and Steve's numbers shot right on up. Had it not been for Layton voting with Steve on ways and means motion, we would be looking at a Harpercon majority today.
My point is we lambaste him for getting oppositional and we lambaste him for dithering. Which is it?
you're perhaps right, maybe it's not entirely the media. It is mostly our attitudes of wanting a 'perfect' oppostion. we want parliamentary reform, and such.
you're not going to get parliamentary reform under Brother Steve.
The most terrifying thing for me is a Harpercon majority. And frankly, I don't care how it happens, a Harpercon majority must be prevented.
This kind of lambasting of Iggy at and the Liberals at every turn won't prevent a Harpercon majority, if anything, it will be a contributing factor.
I'm not a fan, but he's all we got right now. Forget NDP, they will never ever govern. Canada just ain't that far to the left
- Monday, May 03, 2010 7:10:00 PM
- L-girl said...
I will not "forget NDP". Just because they will never govern does not mean they do not influence the political landscape. I assume you know that.
Without the NDP there would be no hope that the Liberals would ever be liberal. One only need look to our neighbours to the south to see that.
I appreciate your thoughts but let's call it a night, ok?
- Monday, May 03, 2010 7:17:00 PM
- L-girl said...
Lambasting Iggy will cause a Harper majority??? What could cause a Harper majority is Iggy! Not people criticizing him.
He's all we've got? Like he's the only possible leader for that party? That's absurd.
If Harper couldn't win a majority against Stephane Dion - talk about not having media support! - his majority ship has sailed.
- Monday, May 03, 2010 7:22:00 PM
- impudent strumpet said...
Do PMs normally appoint senators that aren't part of their party? If so, why? (And if not, why did it happen in this case?)

- redsock said...
This kind of lambasting of Iggy at and the Liberals at every turn won't prevent a Harpercon majority, if anything, it will be a contributing factor.
Then Harper should have every seat in Parliament at this point. Ig has not exactly been drawing waves and waves of praise since ... well, since ever.
I'm not a fan, but he's all we got right now.
He's the only person on Earth that can lead [sic] the party? Man, they *are* screwed.
- Monday, May 03, 2010 7:30:00 PM
- Mike said...
Hey wasn't Iggy the white knight who was going to rescue the Liberals from Dione's ineptitude? I think there may be the possibility of a serious lack of judgement or leadership potential in the Liberal party.
- Monday, May 03, 2010 7:37:00 PM
- CK said...
Redsock, who do u suggest then? Bob Rae; I can see those attack ads by Bloc and Harpercons; want him to do to Canada what he did to Ontario. I'm sure many Ontario Centrists are so quick to forgive him. A party can win without either Quebec or Ontario, but can't win without both.
Justin Trudeau? Promising but doesn't have the experience to go up against Steve the master technician. Already his little tangent for nothing on Question Period,not allowing Shelly Glover to speak showed his lack of maturity and showed pettiness.
Plus, old boys' club of Rae would never allow it and would more than likely throw him to the wolves as they did Dion.
Martin Cauchon? Perhaps the best choice of all, assuming he can unseat Mulcair in Outremont.
Gerard Kennedy, could win Ontario, but not Quebec, probably same problems as Iggy; the Toronto Leader of the Toronto party...
I could go on, but there's no point
The only way the Liberals are going to get rid of Iggy is for him to lose a federal election. Unfortunately, that means another Harpercon win. Brother Steve knows this is his last kick at the can and he will pull out all to get that majority and he could well get it this time. Is that a risk you're all willing to take??
And yes, things can get a hell of lot worse under a Harpercon majority than they are now.
Another to think about, don't assume he would call an election in 4 years because he will change that. Remember his by-election campaign from last Novemeber "de l'action; pas d'election". Action, no election.
As I've pointed out, I'm not willing to suffer the rest of my days under a Harpercon majority. Sorry.

This from AZ's Facebook page, via Janet Money:
I just sent this email to her: "You were joking, right? Or taken way, way out of context? Shouldn't you be working to change Mr. Harper's mind, rather than threatening feminists – you know, you used to be one -- about abortion?"
Right. We don't need a warning OR advice, whichever it was, to shut up. We need to speak out as often as possible.

At first, given what a cursory look at Ruth's past history and stances I was wondering what the context of her comments might have been. After learning a little more about the circumstances of said comment, I'll have to go along with the general consensus and agree that it's just another example of this incarnation of the Conservative Party's arrogance in the face of opposition. They just don't seem to be able to accept any one disagreeing with them for any reason. And after reading Judy Rebick's column I have to agree with her, if they want to make this an election issue let 'em. Though small minded and vindictive seems to go hand in hand with Harper's vision for the Conservative Party.

What if we move an 80 mm into the free space, and use the 80 mm spot on the right for the radio. Will it matter if the radio is covered for lengthy periods on a comp flight? Only asking because the antenna lead was on the right hand side behind the panel.
If we did that, how about putting the ASI where the mech vario is, and the vario in the free space.

Oh No! Traders In Tears As Fire Guts Popular Timber Market In Enugu
April 28, 2019 | Uncategorized | No Comments|
Pandemonium rocked the popular Timber market in Maryland, Enugu in Enugu state on Friday night when fire razed the market to ashes.
The fire broke out around 10:30pm after traders had closed for the day.
Affected traders couldn't hold back tears as they could not be consoled by sympathisers who thronged the burning market.
Planks worth millions of naira were burnt to ashes by the raging fire.
Desperate traders were said to have made frantic efforts to salvage their goods from being consumed by the fire.
Meanwhile, the state governor, Mr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has sympathised with the affected traders.

Kid Hit Menu Items: Suehiro is a slam-dunk for Little Tokyo comfort food: miso soup, rice, gauzy crisp tempura, teriyaki, don rice bowls topped with fried cutlets, agedashi tofu, udon and soba noodles, plus a couple kids' menu items — but that's hardly even necessary. I recommend saving dessert for a stop at Mikawaya.
Adult Perks: A lot of this is beer-friendly food, so you can drink familiar Japanese beers by the bottle (Kirin, Asahi), or Bud, or some wine that's worth skipping, and a smattering of sakes. Suehiro is open very late; if you're reading this site, however, you probably don't care too much about that. It's by no means one of Little Tokyo's preeminent sushi destinations, but there's a small sushi and sashimi list, with more rolls available at dinner service.
Pros: Suehiro's low-ceiling room filled with laminate eating surfaces and a mix of booth and table seating has weathered decades of affectionate use. No wonder the service is friendly, and vibe totally relaxed and great for all ages. Plus a comfortable low counter fronts the service area, which is where my kids love to sit. Either order a sampling of smaller side dishes, or get a generous combo, most of which hover around the $12 mark. The corridor lined with drawings showcases what customers can do with a pen and napkin when given a few minutes to unleash their creativity while waiting for lunch or dinner. That's if they're not too busy reading the manga comics Suehiro keeps around.
Cons: Folks chasing the more current Japanese food trends in L.A. that lean towards ramen (Daikokuya is a few doors down), izakaya and robata will be disappointed.
Changing Station: Yes
High Chairs: Yes
Parking and Access: Street metered parking or various lots around Little Tokyo.
Other Tidbits: Suehiro Café has nestled into its own spot within the canon of classic Little Tokyo restaurants. The kind that are short on fads and fanciness, and long on dignified neighborhood tradition. Late hours might distinguish it from the others, but it sits alongside perennial faves that serve up soul-satisfying Japanese cooking; restaurants such as Aoi (our family favorite growing up, which I'll cover some other time) and Oomasa across the street in the Redevelopment era-Japanese Village Plaza. Suehiro has the charm of being located in the historic century-plus old commercial strip along East 1st, with those checkered tiles out front and a no-frills interior that's straight out of a mid-century utilitarian supply catalogue. These contrasts help imbue it with that inimitable Little Tokyo character. (Some bamboo screens go a long way.) Combine with a trip on the Gold Line, the Geffen, JANM, etc. and you truly can't go wrong.

For the past two years, David's guitars have been offerered as grand prizes at the Minnesota Flatpicking Guitar Championships. Clint Birtzer (2009 winner) and Roy Curry (2010) are now playing Slope D guitars built by David Vincent. Check out the photo galleries for albums featuring both guitars, and see our YouTube videos of Roy and Clint playing their new Vincents.
In David's own words:
"My two greatest influences as a builder and repair person have been the many fine, vintage instruments I've gotten to work on, and my students, whose imagination, fresh approach, and on occasion, mistakes, have taught me many great lessons."
"My personal philosophy towards my work is perhaps best summarized by a quote from the comedian George Burns, 'Good, better, best, Never let it rest, Get your good better, and your better best.' "
