This year, we're not having our yearly BBQ of crap (which I love). Oh yeah! Normally, we would head off to the beach, where we could have all-you-can-eat (oh, this sounds soo me) BBQ, everything prepared, all you need to do is holding your BBQ tongs on top of the fire, stuffing yourself silly from noon til dawn....and trying not to get too drunk and accidentally BBQ your friend's toes or something. In such BBQ places, we'd eat mountains after mountains of processed food...hot dogs, various meat/fishballs and dodgy looking marinated meats (which I also love).
However, this year, we're preparing our BBQ from scratch at A & The V's terrace (a terrace which can fit 9 mad eaters, in the middle of the city, is really rare in Hong Kong, so we were thrilled!). Foodaholiv, Sir A and Ah A were kind enough to turn their culinary visions into reality and let us be the guinea pigs...and we happily obliged ^_^
Our seafood chef of the day, Foodaholiv, prepared these skewers of red and green peppers, pineapple chunks, and shrimps wrapped with bacon. Oh my!
...and juicy skewers of eels and fish meat! Fancy!
Our mountain of bread, honey, sauces, and spices...
The boys were working on the fire...how macho! We were secretly praying...please don't burn the flat down...
...and we also had fresh shell fish and juicy scallops. No wonder the normal supply of processed food such as hot dogs and balls weren't as popular as before. Hehe
Fireeeeeeeee oh flamin' fire! Well done, boys! Sweet potatoes (orange and purple) and butter rubbed corn with italian herbs are a-roasting too.
People were really hungry. It is noticable from the amount of hot dogs being barbecued. Hot dogs are our quick fix....they made waiting for the good stuff more bearable. Ah A prepared chicken wings with four different marinades: Chinese red fermented beancurd sauce (lam yu), Thai lemongrass and chilli, salt and pepper, and Italian rosemary and lemon. I am proud to announce that I've downed at least 8 pieces of wings...and all tasted brilliant!
Foodaholiv worked the succulent scallops by sprinkling them with garlic and soy sauce...pure genius! The cuttlefish pieces were also grilled to perfection. She did an amazing job running the grill (if it wasn't her, we would just ruin it and might end up having to eat instant noodles hehe).
What happens if we need to refill the charcoal...lift up the grill (with barehands??!!! Yes, Joe the Superman wasn't afraid of such a little heat. But boys and girls, unless you are a superman, please don't try this at home. Hehe) and hold your breath to prevent the boiling hot shellfish juices from drenching your toes, then carefully balance the grill back on fire. It's an art, really.
Sir A created this super creative Japanese sticky rice sticks wrapped with bacon....
....and topped with TORCHED mozzarella cheese...oh my! Imagine the sticky and chewy rice sticks...with crispy ends...and tasty bacon...and melted and scorched cheese...it's just so unreal!
After we were stuffed to our eyeballs, we had an intense session of gift exchange and polaroid photo taking. We modified the usual "Secret Santa" to our own game of "The Perfect Gift". We were supposed to give our santa hints...so that he/she could get something that we wanted. Most of us ended up telling our santa exactly what we want...or...to Sir A's extend...going with the santa (me) to the store and just buy the gift then and there.
Many thanks to Ms. A & The V who let us wreck and ransack their beautiful home.
Anyways, it was more than a great BBQ...it was fun-freakin-tastic! Now, tell me about yours ^_^

BEIRUT (AP) — A pan-Arab television station has aired a video purportedly showing Syrian rebels with a group of Iranians abducted a day earlier just outside Damascus.
The footage shown Sunday on the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya shows men identified as the Iranians sitting on the ground surrounded by fighters who said they were from the "Baraa Brigades."
A rebel claims in the video that the captives include an officer of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and that the group was on a "reconnaissance mission."
Iran's state-run news agency SANA said the 48 abducted Saturday were pilgrims. It said Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi spoke on the phone with Turkish and Qatari foreign ministers and demanded their intervention to help release them.

(Reuters) - A sprint-car driver was killed in a racing accident during warm-up laps for a weekend event, prompting a Pennsylvania speedway to cancel racing activities on Saturday.
James "Jim" Campbell Jr. died when his car crashed on Friday night on the third corner of the clay track at Williams Grove Speedway in central Pennsylvania, about 115 miles west of Philadelphia, the facility said on its website.
The organization had been scheduled to host a "Kids Night" promotion and a Saturday racing series, which were canceled.
Witnesses described a multi-vehicle crash that began when one car hit a wall and caught fire, according to WHTM-TV in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The death follows a year of heightened scrutiny on the dangers involved in motorsports racing after NASCAR star Tony Stewart struck and killed a fellow driver in sprint-car race in New York last August.
Stewart was not charged in the incident, which was not part of the NASCAR series, but the fatal incident prompted NASCAR to introduce new safety rules.

The flu season has started out strong this year, already reaching epidemic proportions. A public health emergency has been declared in Boston as flu cases skyrocket to levels 10 times higher than the 2011-2012 season. A mere cough or sneeze from a co-worker now sends people into red-alert as they scramble for the hand-sanitizer and attempt to maintain a safe distance from the potentially flu ridden colleague. Public Health Officials recommend getting a flu vaccine in order to reduce the potential risk of contracting the virus. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), this year's vaccine is directed at protecting individuals from what research has indicated will be the three most common strains of influenza.
Hospitals in particular have initiated stringent measures mandating that healthcare workers receive flu shots in order to ensure patient safety. But what happens when a nurse, doctor or other employee refuses to receive the vaccination based on personal or religious beliefs? The United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio recently grappled with this very issue when Plaintiff, Sakile Chenzira, was discharged in 2010 as a result of her failure to receive a mandatory flu vaccination. Defendant, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (the Hospital), claimed that Ms. Chenzira's simply refused because of a mere "dietary preference or social philosophy" rather than a religious beliefs that would require accommodation. Ms. Chenzira is a vegan and declined the shot on the basis of her principles as a vegan. Ms. Chenzira claimed that requiring a vaccine that was clearly against her beliefs was tantamount to religious discrimination. Specifically, Ms. Chenzira, stated "that her practice constitutes a moral and ethical belief which is sincerely held with the strength of traditional religious views…" Ms. Chenzira presented the court with an essay entitled "The Biblical Basis of Veganism" to demonstrate that her veganism was more than just a dietary preference. The Hospital on the other hand pointed to Bible verses that support their position and described the permissibility of consuming animal products.
The Court found it "plausible that Plaintiff could subscribe to veganism with a sincerity equating that of traditional religious views." In particular Ms. Chenzira's essay appeared very persuasive as the Court acknowledged that it served in "bolstering" its conclusion. According to the Court, the fact that others articulated a similar view reinforced Ms. Chenzira's position. The Court's ultimate ruling in the case could have a significant impact on what employers are required to accept as religious beliefs when confronted with an employee's request for religious accommodations.

Editor's note 7/5/17:
.....Patients' mean age was 24, and males accounted for 90 percent of injuries. .....Among adults' fireworks injuries, 98 (86 percent) involved shell-and-mortar explosives. The majority of children's injuries came from rockets; teens sustained most serious injuries from homemade fireworks......In many cases, severe injuries required multiple surgeries and caused permanent impairment, such as limb amputation or vision loss...... The study's lead author is Dr. Brinkley Sandvall, a plastic surgery resident at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Harborview's annual surge of emergency-department patients around the Fourth of July spurred her interest in fireworks research. "We treated about 30 patients for hand injuries requiring surgery during the July Fourth weekend last year," she said.

BAME Directors
The lack of diversity found across TV production in the UK is a widely known fact and long-standing problem. Recently the diversity agenda has been back in the spotlight, with the slow, limited progress made in the noughties effectively being reversed in the last few years. Barely a week goes by without a headline about the industry's lack of diversity on both sides of the camera.
In 2014 we began our own research to find out just how many BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) directors are working in UK television production and what their levels of employment look like. Many BAME directors reported that, in comparison to their white peers, their careers often took significantly longer to progress and that access to employment opportunities were far more limited. Directors UK's report UK Television: Adjusting the Colour Balance has confirmed that the scale and depth of the barriers facing BAME directors is even more acute than the industry at large.
BAME Directors Latest
The number of BAME directors working in UK film and television is so critically low that only urgent and sustained action can tackle the problem. The challenge uncovered by our research is two-fold:
Significant levels of under-employment
Only 1.5% of all the programmes in our sample were made by BAME directors.
Acute levels of under-representation
BAME directors are critically under-represented in UK television, with BAME directors making up just 3.5% of the directing community. This compares to the 14% of the general population that come from BAME backgrounds.
Our campaign represents targeted action based on our detailed analysis, BAME directors provide a focal point for action and will ensure that the debate moves beyond hand-wringing and into measureable and lasting outcomes for directors' direct experience working in UK television production, and relevant external research sources. The campaign is not about continuing the already lengthy debate around television's lack of diversity, but rather taking action and pushing for measurable and lasting outcomes for directors.
Directors UK's BAME Directors campaign is focused on pushing through the series of practical recommendations made in our report. Our campaign will pursue these recommendations so that lasting change can be seen, measured and above all experienced by BAME directors working within the television industry. These recommendations include:
- Setting clear diversity targets
- Improving transparency of recruitment and monitoring of freelancers
- Ensuring opportunities for entry, training and career progression
- Creating more visibility for BAME directors and creating role models for aspiring directing talent
Read the full report to see details of all our recommendations.
Directors UK will work with broadcasters, production companies, agents and training providers to bring about a significant increase in the number of television programmes being made by BAME directors across all genres. More widely the campaign will need to go out to education and training providers, schools and communities to foster the perception that a career as a television director is accessible and sustainable for those who come from a BAME background.
The issue of diversity and under-representation is receiving more scrutiny than ever before. Our campaign is using this fact to highlight the commitments made, develop practical solutions, and call inaction to account. Our campaign has gathered information about contacts/networks, interviews and pitching experiences from over the last 6-12 months, to see if there has been any shift in behaviour and/or outcomes as diversity issues have begun to receive more attention. However, the overall impression from our members seems to be that while more conversations are being had - and "ears are open" - this has yet to translate into more opportunities or work.
Our statistical research has been based on a large sample of the most popular and significant programmes made in-house at the BBC and ITV, and by the top nine consolidated independent productioncompanies: All3Media, Endemol, Shine, Fremantle, Zodiak, NBCU, Shed, Tinopolis and Boom.
We analysed over 55,000 individual episodes across 546 programme titles, looking at programmes broadcast up to the end of 2013 (details of our methodology and the programmes included in the sample are available in the full report).
Our key finding was that only 1.5% of the episodes included in our sample were made by BAME directors. We also found that the proportion of television made by BAME directors in 2013 (1.29%) had dropped by over 20% in comparison with pre-2011 programmes (1.67%). This represents a considerable decrease to an already nominal amount of television being made by BAME directors.
Read the full report for all the key statistics and details of our interviews with BAME directors.
Our research has provided the BAME Directors campaign with a clear set of 'asks', developed using robust quantitative and qualitative analysis, presenting the numbers and narrative so we can identify just what needs to change, why, and most importantly how.
Directors UK welcomes commitments made in Channel 4's 360 Degree Diversity Charter, requiring that the independent production companies they work with will help to deliver improved diversity both in front of and behind the camera, as well as making the channel's own commissioning executives responsible for achieving diversity goals.
Directors UK has been actively campaigning to improve the representation of women and BAME directors in UK television production and commends Channel 4 for tackling this problem in an innovative way.
As part of the Charter initiatives announced, there is confirmation that Directors UK will work alongside Channel 4 in improving opportunities for drama directors on their productions, including setting up a mentoring scheme.
Menhaj Huda, Chair of the Directors UK Diversity Committee, had this to say:
"It is vitally important for broadcasters such as Channel 4 to make improving diversity central to their commissioning process. It is only through real commitment, at all levels, that change can happen. Leading from the top and bringing accountability to their commissioning teams and their indie suppliers is key. We look forward to working with the production companies and Channel 4 to ensuring this diversity ambition actually becomes reality".
Many industry organisations are beginning to take action to address the under-representation of BAME talent both on and off-screen, but our campaign calls for the industry to include our more comprehensive recommendations as part of their strategic commitments.

5 Signs You Are A Highly Creative Being
"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
Steve Jobs"
This made me chuckle because this is what happens to me almost everytime. I feel guilty when people ask me how did I make that intricate doodle. Boy, I hate to admit that I copied the idea!
Anyway, so this is to encourage all the creative souls out there and telling them, YOU ROCK!
Here are 5 signs you will absolutely relate to if you are a creative creature.
You Daydream
In a class, in the middle of an important meeting, and even while being shouted upon. You have the capacity to daydream anytime, anywhere.
You work hours that work for you
"Why are you staring at the screen?" "I ain't no feel like working and if I do work when I don't feel like it, I won't work well!"
Valid argument!
You never get bored when alone
People keep asking you why you don't sit with them for lunch and you just don't have an answer. Creative people like to make constructive use of time.
You lose track of time
While everyone else is counting the hours left for the weekend, you even forgot it's evening and you gotta go home because you are so engrossed in your creative flow of thoughts that time becomes inexistent.
You read between the lines
When everyone else see a dead end, you see a new wall to paint your thoughts. You are great in seeing the invisible and connecting the dots that seemed unconnectable.
You doubt yourself
Even when the entire world is telling you that you are super creative, you doubt! Ah, forget those fans, I am just a one-eyed king amongst blind men. Whoever said I am creative is an idiot!

Typo, that should have said 16.
Typo, meant to say 16 year old girl.
The Hunter dox showed proof that he had once posted, and then deleted, nudes of an 18 year old. There are screenshots of a kid telling him on Twitter and then Hunter responding through his Twitter account saying that he'd deleted them and thanking the kid for the tip.
Yeah, I have a feeling these guys are going down quick.
Also, I looked into the ugotposted site that seems to be slipping below the radar more than Hunter, Craig, the Texxxan guy who just got into trouble, etc. From the whois research I have done the name that shows up is Kevin Bollaert: http://whois.net/whois/ugotposted.com
Putting that out there for people to check up on and confirm or dis-confirm, etc.
Here's the dox on Craig Brittain and Chance Trahan: http://pastebin.com/R0Etpa2L
Well would you look at that, a bit of research and I was able to find the dox: http://pastebin.com/R0Etpa2L
Hah! Look where that dopey idiot says that the original article was intended as a "biopic" originally. So they were going to make a movie from it? His use of the English language is so laughably bad. Like in the letter he sent to Popehat. Then he claims he's doing this site because the economy is bad but otherwise he'd be working some six figure job with all his talents. The guy clearly can't make it in the real world and that's why he has to shovel excrement online for a living. After this goes tits up what will be do? He won't ever get a real job again, not after all this. One Google search of his name will show him unemployable. Same with that Chance guy. They really made their dirty bed to sleep in this time.
Oh god I can't wait until Anonymous goes after these two morons (Craig and Chance) like they did Hunter Moore with Op Hunt Hunter. He seems largely unconcerned about that dox, because he makes everything about his life public anyway because he's an attention starved, pathetic little boy. Well, so are these two, but you can tell by how hard they try to get people to not write "mean" things about them, with fake cease and desist letters and all, that they would not like being targeted by Anonymous.
Imagine it, Craig. Your SS number out there (meaning identity theft), your address, your phone number, your relatives addresses and phone numbers, all public. I don't believe in violence, but really it's just a matter of time before one of these ugly little morons gets stabbed or shot to death. Hunter already got stabbed with a pen. Imagine if she'd had something more dangerous in her purse when she paid his house a visit. It's going to happen if these guys don't change their ways.

Latrice Bradford, 11, says that because her sister was shot as they walked to a snowball stand in East Baltimore, she's afraid to go back there.
"Anything can happen to us," Latrice said yesterday as she sat on her marble steps in the 700 block of N. Luzerne Ave., combing her 4-year-old sister's hair. "People don't have to know you to kill you."
Shortly after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Latrice's sister, Lakia Shanaye "Kiki" Bradford, 9, was shot in the chest as she, Latrice and two friends walked to buy an egg custard and three sky-blue snowballs from a stand at the Evans Temple Church in the 2400 block of E. Madison St., police said.

More than ever, meeting the challenges of technological innovation requires a meeting of minds from different fields. New leadership in two of Lehigh's most renowned technology research centers -- the Center for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology and the Center for Photonics and Nanoelectronics -- are taking heed, working together to promote key areas of collaboration while supporting ongoing work that's crucial to each center's core mission.
In both areas, for example, more advanced understanding of how photons, electrons and heat interact could lead to a wide variety of applications. Furthermore, both centers are exploring ways to integrate simulations and modeling into design and engineering; this so-called 'Integrated Computational Materials Engineering' approach is reflective of a broader movement in academia toward the use of experimentally-validated multi-scale computational models to design products, materials, and processing methods.
Integrating expertise and resources
Dr. Nelson Tansu has been appointed director of Lehigh's Center for Photonics and Nanoelectronics (CPN) and the Daniel E. '39 and Patricia M. Smith Endowed Chair Professor in Photonics and Nanoelectronics. Since joining the electrical and computer engineering faculty in 2003, Nelson has emerged as a leading scholar and researcher in device fabrications of semiconductor optoelectronics devices.
As leader of the Tansu Group at Lehigh, Nelson explores theoretical and experimental aspects of the physics of semiconductor optoelectronics and device fabrications of III-Nitride and III-V-Nitride semiconductor optoelectronics devices on GaAs, InP, and GaN substrates. Dr. Tansu has published more than 98 refereed international journal and 170 conference publications, and he also currently holds more than 14 U.S. patents. He has served as a panel member for the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, and other agencies in the U.S. and abroad. He has also served in editorial boards for Photonics (as Editor-in-Chief), IEEE Photonics Journal, OSA Optical Material Express, Nanoscale Research Letters, IEEE Journal of Display Technologies, and IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics.
CPN, where research spans systems-level research in photonics and nanoelectronics toward application in health, energy, and systems infrastructure for computing and data analytics, has been established as a merger of Lehigh's longstanding Center for Optical Technology (COT) and its Sherman-Fairchild Center (SFC) for Solid-State Studies. "The goal of CPN," Nelson says, "is to approach the science of photonics and nanoelectronics in ways that address society's grand challenges. With expertise in these core areas, CPN's long-term, strategic research objectives will guide the development of strong and more integrated capabilities in computation, materials, devices and architectures, and systems."
A heritage of materials research leadership
Dr. Richard Vinci, professor of materials science and engineering, has been appointed director of CAMN. Dr. Vinci joined the Lehigh University faculty in 1998. His research focuses on the processing and mechanical behavior of thin films for microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) applications, and the fracture of interfaces in bulk materials. He also participates in multidisciplinary research, including the development of solid-state optical devices and inorganic biomaterials. He is holder of two patents, has contributed some 43 journal publications and 37 refereed conference proceedings, has organized numerous symposia in his field, acts as a reviewer for the National Science Foundation and other agencies, and has served as a guest editor for a special issue of the MRS Bulletin on mechanical behavior in small dimensions.
Vinci recently served as director of the CAMN Mechanical Behavior Laboratory, developing a world-class suite of tools for mechanical testing at the micro-scale. He has received the NSF CAREER Award, the ASM International Bradley Stoughton Award for Young Teachers, the Lehigh University Junior Award for Distinguished Teaching, the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering Teaching Excellence Award, and Lehigh University's Donald B. and Dorothy L. Stabler Award for Excellence in Teaching. He is co-author of a book, Deformation and Fracture Mechanics of Engineering Materials.
Vinci takes the helm from Dr. Martin Harmer, the Alcoa Foundation Professor in materials science and engineering, who has stepped down to take on a new role as senior faculty advisor for research initiatives within the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. Over the course of more than two decades of dedication and service as CAMN director, Professor Harmer led the center to be one of the most highly respected materials research centers in the U.S. In his new role, Martin will draw on his leadership and insight to work with faculty in the development of collaborative research proposals and major block funding opportunities with a variety of agencies.
"CAMN tends to concentrate on fundamental materials opportunities," says Rick, "creating new materials and processes with new functionalities that can be plugged into new systems. Our plan is to partner with CPN to achieve even greater synergy by continuing to coordinate our activities and work together."
Among the powerful tools for materials research at Lehigh are spectroscopy instruments such as the high resolution x-ray photoelectron spectrometer (HR-XPS) and high-sensitivity, low-energy ion-scattering spectrometer (HS-LEIS), which provide extremely precise, high-resolution views of surfaces and subsurfaces that govern a material's properties. World-class electron microscopes such as the JEM-ARM200F allow researchers to observe the chemical structure of a material at the atomic level, with specimens often prepared using a recently-acquired FEI Scios DualBeam focused ion beam/scanning electron microscope. An array of instruments also allows researchers to optimize the growth of semiconductor materials on a variety of substrates.
With the help of such resources, "technology is evolving rapidly at what's called the cyber-physical interface," says Nelson. "In the past, the computing and physical worlds have largely been separate domains. We want to be able to transform the physical world and relate it to the cyberworld. Toward this end, CPN and CAMN will each support strong core programs, and will continue to actively develop close ties and projects in areas of mutual interest."

I'm not sure this is the problem, but it looks like your foil is wider than your magnet, so the electrons get pushed a little to the side, then leave the field and go back to the direction the electric field is pulling them. Try a narrower foil (or a wider magnet).
Heh. I just Googled "ENIG soil" and the top result was this page. :) Here's the Wikipedia article on ENIG. It's basically a method of gold plating to prevent/reduce corrosion.
I'm not clear on what exactly "anodized zinc" is. Usually when one sees "anodized", it means it's mainly steel with a zinc plating applied by a process known as anodization. Is that what this is, or is it zinc with some other metal anodized onto it?
What's the color temperature of these? Are they warm or cold white?
Two processors is no good. If they don't match, which one is wrong? You need three, so two will match and one will be different. But I suspect Robert is right about it not being likely to come up. If he does encounter that much radiation, he'll have other worries than his logger.
I think you're underestimating the amount of effort just slapping things together would be if you want to come up with something so easy to use. Yes, something like this could be made cheaply using other parts put together, but I think it would be a significant project on its own. If you are working on a project and need an interface, starting another project to create the interface may not always be desirable. Before long you may find yourself in Tibet, shaving a Yak.
On the other hand, I do find myself hesitating to spend 2-4 times as much on an interface compared to what I'm spending on the actual computer. But that's more because the Arduinos and Raspberry Pi are so darned cheap. Any sort of display for a RaspPi costs more than the RaspPi. Heck, even connecting a Pi to a non-HDMI monitor can cost more for an HDMI->DVI converter than the Pi costs (if you don't shop around). I find this to be a difficult psychological barrier to cross. The 4D screens seem like a reasonable value for what they offer, if only the devices they connect to weren't so much less expensive.
Spending $180 for a computer plus display doesn't sound bad, but $35 for a computer and $145 for the display just seems wrong. But that's not 4D or Sparkfun's fault, it's all in my head (and I suspect I'm not the only one).
Nate's clever plan for fitting more engineers into the existing office space seems to be working so far.
Yeah, that thin dry air causes problems for baseballs, too.
For those who don't want to search the datasheet, the max range is 5 meters, and it returns the distance to the closest target it sees.
I'm sorry to see it go away, but I agree with your conclusions. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for the Free Days that you had. I guess we'll just have to settle for your great customer service, free stuff like tutorials, awesome site with loads of info about each product, and your commitment to educating future generations. I think I can live with that. ;)
No public wish lists :(

Armed with a passion for the arts, Ian Friday - Founder of Global Soul Music, is on a creative mission; to bring soulful music from around the world to the masses. The writer, producer and DJ coined the term "Global Soul" as a genre of music that connects house, soul, afro beat, jazz and world music and extends past traditional labels. This New Yorker has been making an impact within the arts since the early 1990's. It began with a not for profit arts organization called The Tea Party Inc., which provided a platform for emerging and established artists including Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli and Mos Def. Now in its six year, Friday's successful NYC residency, Libation is an offspring of The Tea Party Inc. and has become the home base for "Global Soul".
Both creating and playing the music has given Friday a 360 degree understanding of not only what moves a crowd from Paris to Johannesburg to Tokyo, but also what moves other DJ's in what they'd like to play. As a producer, Friday creates both remixes and original music and is best known for his break out hits "Life Starts Today", "Theorema Del Faya" and "Found Myself" all on Tea Party Music as well "Carib's Leap" on West End Records. His hit single "Kissing You", continues to garner major attention including being regularly played on New York City mainstream radio station WBLS.
Friday is currently working on an album called "Life Starts Today" which will be released in the spring of 2016. The album is a soulful exploration of all of Friday's musical inspirations. Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder have all played a part in the energy and essence of this fully connected musical experience.
Global Soul Music has and will continue to cultivate talent from around the world.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The retreat of oil prices helped push Canada's trade deficit to near a two-year high in November, signaling the challenges that cheaper crude pose for the petroleum-exporting nation.
Statistics Canada reported on Wednesday that the November deficit jumped to C$644 million ($546 million) from a deficit of C$327 million in October, much higher than the C$300 million shortfall forecast by analysts.
Exports dropped by 3.5 percent, in part due to a 7.8 percent fall in the value of energy shipments. Benchmark prices for crude have halved over the past six months.
"The trade deficit is likely to worsen materially due to the steep drop in energy prices, suggesting it will be some time before we see another surplus," BMO Capital Markets economist Benjamin Reitzes said in a note to clients.
Energy was not the only underperformer since nine of 11 export sectors tracked by Statscan recorded declines. Overall prices fell 1.9 percent, while volumes were down 1.6 percent.
The value of imports shrank by 2.7 percent on broad-based weakness.
The Bank of Canada - which says it will not raise its key interest rate from a near-record low of 1.0 percent until the economy shows signs of durable strength - has long fretted over the struggling export sector.
The bank is due to release updated economic forecasts on Jan. 21 and TD Securities strategist Mazen Issa predicted the trade figures would help ensure Governor Stephen Poloz maintains a cautious tone.
"This was an ugly report with widespread weakness," he said in a note to clients.
The overall drop in exports from October was the largest month-on-month decline since the 3.8 percent retreat in January 2012.
Shipments to the United States, which took 75.9 percent of all Canadian exports in November, fell by 2.6 percent, while imports decreased by 2.1 percent. As a result, the trade surplus with the United States dropped to C$2.94 billion from C$3.18 billion in October.
Although policymakers in Ottawa are optimistic the U.S. recovery will lift the Canadian economy, Export Development Canada chief economist Peter Hall said there was little sign of that in November.
"It's unsettling but it's not time to push the panic button," he told Reuters, saying there was no sign of long-term deterioration in the U.S. recovery.
Statscan initially recorded a small surplus for October but revised that to a deficit to reflect late-arriving data.

I'm very pleased to announce that, after looking for the ideal gallery space for some time, I have finally found it!
The Julia Mills Glass Designs – Gallery & Workshop, opened in Newlyn this month, adding to the wealth of quality Cornish art already on display in the town.
The gallery is at 1, The Coombe, and showcases my framed glass panels and smaller creations – or 'tiddlers' as they are known – all of which are made in response to the light and landscape of Cornwall.
Having previously occupied galleries in Porthleven and Mousehole, I am extremely excited to have found the perfect exhibition and workshop space in my home town of Newlyn.
The gallery is right in the heart of the town and we're hoping that our bright, eye-catching window displays will prove irresistible to passers-by.
There is a real buzz about Newlyn at the moment, with great restaurants, galleries and our very own Filmhouse. It's fantastic to be a part of that.
The work of a selection of other local artists will also be on display; paintings by Emma Williams, Billy Burman and Sophie Harding, driftwood figures by Lynn Muir, and ceramics by Lincoln Kirby Bell, Sue Binns and Jane Wellens.
As well as exhibiting finished pieces, I will be using half of the available space as a workshop; visitors will be able to see the process of creation and discuss ideas for unique commissions.
For more information keep an eye on my Facebook page.
The Julia Mills Gallery can be found at 1, The Coombe, Newlyn, TR18 5HS. Summer Opening Hours are 11am – 5pm, Tues – Sat.
To be kept informed of news, offers and gallery events, please subscribe to my newsletter.

There are hundreds of recipes for guacamole, and I've tried a lot of them.
This one is my absolute favourite. Once it leaves the kitchen, the bowl always comes back empty.
|Large Red Onion (or 1 small), very finely minced
|Cloves Garlic
|Kosher Salt
|Ripe Hass Avocados, cut in half, peeled, and pit removed
|Ripe Plum Tomato, peeled, seeded, and diced.
|Jalapeno Pepper, seeds removed, very finely minced
- Rinse the minced onion in cold water, squeeze dry in a sheet of paper towel and place in a large bowl.
- Put garlic clove and salt in a mortar and pestle and grind until it's liquefied and add to bowl
- Add avocados, pepper and tomato.
- Use a fork to mix, and break up the avocado, leaving chunks up to garbanzo-bean size (approx). This keeps the guacamole chunky and gives it an interesting texture.
- Taste and add salt, if necessary. This is critical. Too little and it will taste flat; too much and it will taste salty. Add very small amounts of salt, then taste. It's better to err on the side of "too little" than "too much"
- Cover very closely with plastic wrap (don't leave any air space between the Guacamole and the wrap) and refrigerate for about an hour to allow the flavors to blend. Overnight is better.
If you have a "food saver" and are planning a party, this will keep perfectly in a vacuum sealed bag for days.
Makes about 3 cups

nudity reviews for Alley Cat member submitted
When we first see Marla she's being attacked by two thugs at night in a city park. When Karin Mani arrives and puts a stop to things Marla gets up and her boobs are visible because her dress has been ripped (0:20, very brief boobs, fairly distant). Much better is a later scene when bad guy Michael Wayne sneaks into her apartment. She's laying in bed topless with the sheets around her waist (0:40, somewhat dimly lit). She stirs when she hears something, gets up and walks around nude before putting on a pair of panties and a robe. She even puts a light on to give us a better look! Great sequence.
sum is less than the parts
About 1 1/2, overall. Long scene, with Mani and Shannon yakking and showering in a narrow stall with a few extras in the background. Shannon's then-natch tiny tits (cf D C Cab to verify the titjob), with nice tan patches, appear from time to time.
Pubic region is at the very bottom of the frame and always in shadow. DVD is sufficiently sharp to show that Shannon is wearing a (more or less) flesh-colored G-string throughout the one-take scene. You see it from the beginning, as an odd-looking indentation veed across her pelvic bones into the crotch, but it's seen most distinctly in the second half of the sequence, when she's turning. The water makes it even more visible. Shannon also gives Mani some mild lesbian groping in their cell, shortly afterward, but NN there.
Full frontal in the prison shower
Moriah's inmate character does show full frontal for an extended period in the women's prison shower, but her average physique and slightly butch-ish demeanor suffer by comparison to the ultra-feminine charms of Ms Mani that dominate the scene. *** mostly for gutsiness and the scene's duration.
0:02-she changes her top in front of a mirror: you can see her tits in the mirror for about 1 second; 0:38:30-after her boyfriend gets out of the bathroom, she takes a shower with the door opened--mostly breasts from the side and also a brief fu
Karin(not Karen) Mani's best nude scene, in my opinion, is the last one even though it doesn't show her bush--especially the last few seconds, when you get a close-up of her wonderful breasts(face included) as she walks towards the camera. Normally, I resent this type of movies, but I watched this one because she's nice-looking and because of her nudity. An interesting piece of information: I may be wrong, but it appears that this lady has an Adam's Apple!?
mutiple scenes
She shows her breasts during the opening credits, and it goes on from there...a shower scene which briefly shows full frontal, a sex scene with her doofy love interest, and an extended women's prison shower scene. Basically, themovie is about Mani either taking off her clothes, or using martial arts to beat up a bunch of creeps - highly recommended.
1:00-she is picked up by the male protagonist and, after she takes off her top, handcuffed to a bed while he searches her room
This is a 3-minute scene which shows her breasts from different angles and distances while she is in different positions. It is better than all of Ms. Mani's scenes taken separately. That's why I gave it ****, despite the fact that her bush is not shown.
Naked Hooker Handcuffed to Bed
This is a rather long scene that nicely displays Britt's breasts (try saying that three times really fast). She is handcuffed to the bed while a guy searches the room. (A terrible waste of a hooker, if you ask me). This is, by far, Britt's best nude scene. If you remember Britt (Lily Slater) from the soap opera Loving, you will want to check this one out.
Ratings upgrade
You an see her bush thru her panties while she is on the bed.

Human pyramids becoming increasingly extreme
Yesterday, I read an article on a Japanese website about the increasing number of injuries among school kids when taking part in human pyramids. The pyramids are getting bigger, taller, and therefore more dangerous. The photos of these kids on top each other in pyramids did look dangerous, but they got nothing on these dudes from South Asian countries.
Japanese school kids are falling off these ridiculous human pyramids from very high up, and at some point they may have to reassess the situation. The pyramids have definitely grown in scale since I was a kid; it's gotten to the point where they might as well be called extreme human pyramids. They're making pyramids not with a few kids, or ten or twenty, but almost a hundred. It looks fun, but also quite dangerous. In 2012 alone, there were a total of 6533 accidents at elementary schools due to pyramid accidents! In the last ten years, there were 20 accidents that left kids permanently injured. That's too many.
But as far as I can tell, there are other crazy human pyramids out there, most notably in South Asia. The human pyramids there are completely out of control! Granted, they're adults compared to the school kids in Japan, but that's not the issue here. Forming the largest pyramid you can in a school field is one thing. Forming a crazy, contorted human pyramid while on a motorcycle (with no helmets) is another, and that's exactly what these guys do!
Obviously, the human pyramid world is alive and well, evolving, just like everything else. I hope all extreme pyramid participants stay safe as they reach for the stars.
Who knows? One day human pyramids might even become an Olympic event! If it does, expect India to win a few golds.

|Draft National Health Service (Wales) Bill
Mr. Jon Owen Jones (Cardiff, Central): When the Secretary of State draws conclusions about whether this mechanism of dealing with draft legislation is a success, will he also consider the way in which future Welsh Affairs Committees will be drawn up, and in particular how they will be drawn up if—God forbid—there were to be another Tory Government in Westminster? As I have said, a bad precedent is being set, because the Welsh Affairs Committee does not have to be—and often has not been—mainly made up of hon. Members who come from Wales.
Mr. Murphy: We must consider that point of view. However, the fact that we are meeting now, as the Welsh Grand Committee, to conclude this pre-legislative scrutiny in Parliament means that every hon. Member who represents a Welsh constituency has an opportunity to express their point of view, as do other hon. Members who have an interest in Welsh matters.
I am not saying that that is the end of the story. We must look at this issue and develop it. The Welsh Affairs Committee is charged with looking after matters such as this, and the Welsh Grand Committee can then discuss them. At the end of the
Column Number: 22day, the proposals for addressing them of the Assembly, the Welsh Grand Committee and the Welsh Affairs Committee will come to me, and I and my Government colleagues will decide how best to deal with them in the context of the full Bill, which will be published after we have given consideration to those points of view.
Mr. Elfyn Llwyd (Meirionnydd Nant Conwy): I have some sympathy with the opinion of the hon. Member for Cardiff, Central (Mr. Jones) that this would be a good forum in which to draw together all the strings.
I wish to make a constituency-based point to the Secretary of State. On the issue of whether community health councils should be coterminous, I ask that that should not always be written in stone. The northern and southern halves of my constituency look in different directions, and the same is true of various areas of Powys. It would be inappropriate for there to be one community health council that covers the whole of Gwynedd. I may also be speaking for other parts of Wales. I ask the Secretary of State to introduce some flexibility.
Mr. Murphy: I am sure that other hon. Members may wish to make similar points to that. My hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State has made a note of what the hon. Gentleman has said, and he will refer to it in his winding-up speech. However, the Under-Secretary will not give the Government's response to the Welsh Affairs Committee, or to the matters that have been raised by hon. Members here today. He will refer to what they have said, but the formal Government response will come later in the year, before the Bill is formally published.
Draft Bills give Parliament and the Assembly an opportunity to look at Bills before they are finalised. That is the way of the future, with regard to how we work in partnership with the Assembly, and how we make laws for our people in Wales.
I look forward to the debate. I know that hon. Members have a keen interest in these matters, and that the Under-Secretary will respond—as far as he can—to the points that they make.
1.43 am
Mr. Martyn Jones (Clwyd, South): I am delighted to be called to speak on this historic day for Parliament, and for democratic accountability in Wales. It is a historic day for two reasons. First, it is the day on which the Prime Minister is being questioned by the Liaison Committee, of which I am a member. For the benefit of the Welsh Grand Committee, I have just been informed that the Prime Minister told the Liaison Committee that draft legislation is a very good idea because it improves the quality of legislation, and that the idea is to extend it in the future. It is also a historic day because this Welsh Grand Committee has gathered to discuss the first ever draft Bill in this House.
I am sure that hon. Members will note that I have elected to ignore the media circus that will concentrate on the business of the Liaison Committee, and that I
Column Number: 23will instead address the important bread-and-butter issues of health in Wales.
In fulfilling the responsibility that was placed on the Committee by the Secretary of State, I can today inform him and other Members that the Welsh Affairs Committee wrote to 60 professional groups in England and Wales to request their opinion on this draft Bill. In addition, more than 200 press notices were distributed to various groups and bodies in England and Wales, requesting their views. In the Committee's evidence sessions, we played host to witnesses from the Assembly, including its Minister for Health and Social Services, Jane Hutt, and the Chair of its Health and Social Services Committee, Kirsty Williams.
Members of the Welsh Affairs Committee attended a sitting of that Committee, which was an interesting experience. It led me to believe that the format of future draft Bills should be something between a Green Paper and a Bill, with explanatory notes included at each relevant point. That is a personal view, not the view of the Committee. It was exposed by the fact that that Committee seemed to treat the Bill line by line rather than considering how each line might be changed. That was recognised following discussion. I thank those involved for their co-operation, for having attended our proceedings in Cardiff, for playing their part in the pre-legislative process and for having entered into the co-operative spirit that underlies the draft Bill process.
When the draft Bill was published in May, it was not a good day for health in Wales—I am sorry, it was not just a good day for health in Wales—[Interruption.] I thought that I would cheer up the Opposition, who have not had a good day so far. It was also a good day for direct democracy and parliamentary accountability in Wales, and I am proud of the Government's commitment in creating such a groundbreaking precedent.
The draft Bill is an important step in the revitalisation of the national health service. It cannot be viewed in isolation from the massive increase in investment injected into the NHS in Wales in recent years.
The draft Bill is an intrinsic part of the Government's strategy for the reform of the health service in Wales. It is designed to ensure that the patient's voice is central to the creation of improved services across the board. In undertaking its pre-legislative responsibility, the Committee recognised and tried to build in that important factor. I am cognisant of the fact that many hon. Members want to speak, but I should like to summarise the main recommendations of the Select Committee report.
First, on the principle of draft legislation for Wales, the Committee warmly welcomed the publication of the first ever draft Bill for Wales. We hope that it becomes common practice for not only stand-alone Wales-only Bills but clauses in Bills for England and Wales that have particular implications for Wales.
Column Number: 24
Secondly, we welcome the Assembly's commitment to provide for public consultation, before the Bill is enacted, on the regulations to be made under the Bill. That will greatly facilitate the passage of the Bill through the House. The problem would not have been foreseen without the pre-legislative process.
The role and future of community health councils form a major part of the draft Bill. The Committee's examinations of the proposals on CHCs is based on a desire to ensure that no opportunity is missed in ensuring that the new-look CHCs in Wales fulfil their potential.
Mr. Huw Edwards (Monmouth): Does my hon. Friend join me in welcoming the widening of the remit for community health councils into primary care? Does he believe that NHS dentistry is an aspect of primary care in Wales that needs investigation? Does he believe that the issue of dentists attracted by state grants to set up in Wales but who no longer perform NHS dental work for their patients should be urgently looked into?
Mr. Jones: The Committee did look into that, as the hon. Gentleman will be aware. I agree entirely. I welcome the change in CHCs' remit, as did the Committee. We see no reason to constrain the freedom to be given to the Assembly to lay down the principles underlying the appointment of CHC members. Among our recommendations is that the Bill be amended to give CHC members the statutory right to time off work for public duties, which at present they do not have.
We further recommend that the Assembly be given powers to extend by regulation the scope of CHCs' powers to inspect premises used to provide publicly funded health care for the public in their district.
Mr. Nigel Evans (Ribble Valley): On the point about giving time off, I assume that that would mean that the Welsh Assembly would pay the employer. Without going into any other aspects of that, has the hon. Gentleman made an estimate of how much it would cost?
Mr. Jones: I have not made such an estimate and nor did the Committee, but the evidence that we saw from the bodies concerned strongly recommended the practice. I am sure that the hon. Gentleman is aware that the normal procedure that allows people to take part in such bodies is that they have free time off and are then paid by the body to replace any loss of earnings. That is the norm. Under existing legislation for such things as county council duties, I do not think that there is any provision for the payment of companies. That is part of their public duty.
Other recommendations include changes in the right to information and for CHCs not to be constrained to the Welsh borders when acting on behalf of Welsh patients receiving treatment outside Wales. The Committee also addressed the independence of CHCs in any arrangements made for the employment of their staff, which is highlighted in the report.
On the Wales Centre for Health, the Committee recommends a review of the terms in the draft Bill
Column Number: 25under which that centre is obliged to comply with any direction from the National Assembly for Wales, with a view to limiting that obligation to the exercise of its administrative and financial functions. In other words, we do not want to impose too much on its independence. On balance, the Committee was satisfied that the basic statutory function of dealing with the protection and improvement of health in Wales is broad enough to allow the Assembly and the Wales Centre for Health itself to develop the centre's work as appropriate. The Committee is confident that the Assembly well understands the desire to see the centre as a genuinely accessible public resource for the people of Wales.
The Committee has made 22 recommendations in all, but I shall not go through each today. Hon. Members may rest assured that the Welsh Affairs Committee fulfilled the obligation placed on it by the Secretary of State, and has suggested many improvements to the draft Bill.
Finally, I cannot let Opposition Members off the hook entirely today following the appalling contributions made yesterday in the debate on the comprehensive spending review and the commentary that has followed its publication. To hear Members of all Opposition parties accuse the Government of so-called control freakery is a joke when one considers the trust placed in Members of this House to scrutinise the draft Bill. The Government may have a large majority in this House but, unlike their predecessors in the Conservative party, they are demonstrating an unprecedented commitment to parliamentary accountability and a determination to listen and consult. The draft Bill, the very concept of pre-legislative scrutiny and the voluntary appearance of the Prime Minister at the Liaison Committee twice a year expose the hollowness of yesterday's Opposition rhetoric.
To answer a point made in an earlier intervention on the Secretary of State, it seems to me that it is appropriate for the legislation to be examined by the Select Committee and then dealt with collectively by the Grand Committee. The arrangement that my hon. Friend the Member for Cardiff, Central suggested would not be appropriate under a Tory Government that operated in the way that the previous one did, because there would be no draft legislation to consider anyway.

18 Brook Road, Darlington WA 6070
For Sale
$245,000 + SAV & Building
Located in a prime Darlington Village Location, and just a short walk to the primary School and across from the Original Historical Railway Reserve which offers the site plenty of parking, this Darlington Icon is offered both as a combined Freehold and Business.
The property includes three areas - the Post Office and Shop, First Floor Residence and the Lower Floor Residence which is currently being utilised for a Day Spa Business, which flows on to a private garden and rear decking. This lower ground area could also be used as a second accommodation area if you don't want to continue with the day spa.
The Post office is estimated to have been established in 1903 and moved next door to its current location in about 1930. The business is comfortably run with one full time person and one part time person, over a 5 ½ day week. This business doesn't just offer general Post office items but also includes a huge range of gift ware to compliment the business.
The current owner has started a Day Spa as well which is still in its infancy, but is all set up for the next operator to put their own stamp on this new emerging part of the business.
Given the structure of the businesses this could easily suit a couple, but at the same time runs perfectly well with a sole operator. The ability to live on site is a great bonus but if you had an extended family you could easily discontinue the Day Spa and use this as they have previously done, a separate residence for a family member.
The business has served the current owner well over the last 11 years and with its local property icon status and history dating back to early Darlington Times, this is a well-established, renovated premise, with a quality fit out, ready for the new owners to add their own name to the Darlington History.
The business is offered for sale $245,000 + SAV

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A large number of American generals and at least 1,500 US soldiers arrived in Israel this week for one of the largest joint land exercises ever held between the two nations.
Dubbed "Juniper Cobra," the exercise, which is held every year, but never before on such a large scale, is scheduled to last three weeks.
One of the visiting US generals told Israel media that the exercise is in response to "specific threats," which every took to mean primarily the Iranian nuclear threat. There was much speculation that the exercise signaled the US had nearly given up on diplomatic efforts to curb Iran's nuclear program, and was gearing up for the aftermath of an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

By Robbie Blakeley, Senior Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Salvador, the capital city of Bahia, and its brand new Arena Fonte Nova will be heavily involved in FIFA activity over the next year. The rebuilt stadium will host three matches next month during the Confederations Cup before playing a big role next year, when no fewer than six games will be played in the Bahian city.
Next month some of the world's biggest stars will be gracing the Fonte Nova turf. On June 20th African Cup of Nations champions Nigeria take on Copa America holders Uruguay. Despite slipping recently in World Cup qualifiers the Uruguayan national side remains one of the most potent attacking threats in international football.
A couple of days later, on June 22nd, comes arguably the most mouth-watering tie of the group stages. Hosts Brazil play Italy in a repeat of March's friendly.
On that occasion the Seleção threw away a two-goal lead, delaying Scolari's first win back by a month. With far more riding on the outcome of the Confederations game the atmosphere should be charged inside the stadium.
According to the FIFA ticketing service, Brazil versus Italy is already sold out to the stadium's 56,500 capacity, and those inside will be treated to Brazil's new generation of offensive talent. Then, on June 30th, the third place play-off will kick off in the early afternoon before the Maracanã hosts the final later the same day.
The Salvador Arena Fonte Nova is amply prepared for the FIFA test event, having hosted two fiery classícos after opening officially earlier this year. Local rivals Bahia and Vitoria, who will both feature in the 2013 Campeonato Brasileiro, have already played two derbies at the renovated stadium, with the spoils going to Vitoria on each occasion.
The second match, which took place less than a fortnight ago, resulted in Bahia coach Joel Santana losing his job after only a month at the helm of the Bahia ship.
The first game began in absolute chaos. The stadium failed to deal with the demand for tickets and violence erupted as fans lost patience whilst they waited in queues for up to four hours to collect prepaid tickets and enter the stadium.
With no barriers to separate queues the crowd simply piled towards the ticket offices at the stadium without any cohesion. What followed was chaos as several incidents broke out in the frenzy to secure a ticket.
Vitoria walked away the happier set of supporters after a 5-1 thrashing and last week's result was even sweeter; a 7-3 annihilation, which all but officially wrapped up the Bahian state title.
The second leg finished with a 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon, giving Vitoria an 8-4 aggregate victory. The organization outside the ground and fan access both in and around the stadium was also of a far higher standard, with no serious delays in getting everyone inside.
During the 2014 World Cup Salvador will be the main hub of action in the Northeast, hosting more matches than Recife, Fortaleza or Natal. Six matches will take place at the Fonte Nova; four group-stage games, a second-round match and a quarter-final.
