TIPD Exchange Programme from UK- Matt Hogan Cable Skis with VS boys during PE
Over the following week, VS will be hosting members of the TIPD Exchange Programme from the UK. 3 UK teachers will be paired with 3 VS teachers.
In this clip, we see Matt Hogan from Eaton High School gamely join in our Sec 4 boys during their PE lesson.
VS is the only school in Singapore (and probably South East Asia) that offers Cable Skiing as an official part of its PE curriculum. We have established a good partnership with the Cable Ski vendor located nearby in East Coast Lagoon. Thus, our close proximity to the sea allows us to truly move towards a borderless classroom.
Go, Matt, Go!

2012 Hyundai Accent Reviews
2012 Accent New Car Test Drive
Hyundai Accent is all-new for 2012, and it's a winner. The 2012 Accent is roomier, comes with a more powerful engine, and is priced lower than comparably equipped models from the competition.
The 2012 Hyundai Accent comes in two body styles, a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan with a conventional trunk. (A three-door hatchback is not available, so don't ask.)
The Accent is a subcompact sedan that competes against the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, Mazda 2 and Nissan Versa. Completely redesigned, the 2012 Accent offers more room than the previous-generation model. According to the government, the 2012 Accent's interior volume puts it in the larger compact class.
The 2012 Accent is longer in wheelbase and overall length than most of the competition, which means more room inside for people and cargo, and a smoother ride.
We found the Accent very easy to drive. It's responsive but not quick, smooth by subcompact standards but not luxurious. Everything in the cabin is intuitive and easy to operate. It's an attractive design and the materials look nice.
The 2012 Accent looks sportier and more modern than last year's version. The 2012 Accent features Hyundai's new design theme shared with Sonata and Elantra models.
For 2012, the body was reshaped with more flowing lines and more sculpted sheetmetal. The 2012 Accent looks like a smaller version of the new Elantra. The Accent's new body shape carries a low coefficient of drag, 0.30, which helps with wind noise and fuel mileage. The designers chose to go with body color everywhere, from bumpers to mirrors to handles, with black accents and design elements, so there is almost no chrome trim on the new car beyond the grille bar. The new grille, hood, fenders, lamps, bumper and air intakes up front complement new body-colored door handles and mirrors, new taillamps, a mechanical liftgate, and new 14- and 16-inch wheels.
A new 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine powers the Accent, a twin-cam, 16-valve design with direct fuel injection, a first for the class, and variable valve timing to give it low-rpm torque, high-rpm horsepower. The engine is rated at 138 horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque. The new engine is 40 pounds lighter than the previous engine. Like the other cars in this class, the Accent uses front-wheel drive.
The 2012 Accent comes with a choice of 6-speed manual gearbox or 6-speed automatic. On manual-transmission models, there is an EcoShift indicator between the instrument pods to indicate the proper gear for all driving conditions. We liked the with the 6-speed manual but didn't care for the indicator as we think we know the proper gear better than the car does. The clutch pedal was light and easy to operate. The automatic features a Shiftronic manual-shifting mode, allowing the driver more control over shifting. We preferred to just put it in Drive and go.
Fuel economy is an EPA-rated 28/37 mpg City/Highway regardless of transmission choice. The manual gearbox gets a slightly better Combined rating of 32 mpg compared with the automatic's 31 mpg EPA Combined city and highway rating.
The 2012 Hyundai Accent comes in four-door sedan five-door and hatchback body styles.
The Accent GLS sedan with 6-speed manual transmission ($12,445) comes with cloth upholstery, manual air conditioning, AM/FM/CD with four speakers, XM Satellite Radio, manually controlled mirrors, tilt steering column, power windows, power locks, steel wheels with 175/70R14 tires. The Comfort Decor package ($1750) upgrades the audio system, mirrors, door trim and air conditioning.
Accent GLS sedan with 6-speed automatic ($15,195) adds to the above automatic air conditioning, upgraded audio with six speakers, USB port and iPod auxiliary jack and adapter, heated power mirrors, Hill-start Assist Control, upgraded door trim. The Premium Decor package ($1300) upgrades the interior and exterior trim and adds premium cloth seats, cruise control, fog lights, 16-inch alloy wheels with 195/50R16 tires, remote keyless entry, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth.
Accent GS five-door hatchback ($14,595) comes with the 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission ($15,795). Accent GS comes with all the premium GLS features, the six-speaker audio system, USB port, upgraded interior lighting, power mirrors, upgraded door trim, visor vanity mirrors. A hatchback, the GS includes a power tailgate and 60-40 split-folding rear seats. The suspension tuning is different and the GS comes with 16-inch alloy wheels with 195/50HR16 tires.
Accent SE five-door with manual transmission ($15,795) or automatic ($16,795) come standard with Bluetooth, cruise control, fog lights, rear spoiler, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, sport-tuned power steering. (All prices are Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices, which do not include destination charge and may change at any time without notice. Destination charge is $760.)
Safety equipment on the Hyundai Accent includes front, side and roof curtain air bags, and ABS disc brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and Brake Assist, traction control, electronic stability control.

The Iranian president outraged MPs with a theatrically abrasive display in which he made light of becoming the first leader in the country's postrevolutionary history to be subjected to an official summons by the legislature.
Mr Ahmadinejad's ordeal, broadcast live on state radio, offered a rare public glimpse into his increasingly bitter feud with Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The president has undoubtedly come off worse in the power struggle, with his power base significantly weakened by a parliamentary election this month that resulted in a decisive victory for the supreme leader's acolytes, known as "principalists".
With just over a year to go before his final term in office expires, Mr Ahmadinejad has been left increasingly isolated and weak. His hopes of handpicking a successor have also been dented after Ayatollah Khamenei announced that the post of president would be abolished at the end of his rival's term and replaced with a figurehead appointed by parliament.
Although the interrogation was designed to be humiliating, Mr Ahmadinejad chose to fight back by belittling his questioners with a series of mocking responses.
He was questioned by the outgoing parliament over a series of economic policy issues, in particular his drive to end costly food and fuel subsidies, and a banking fraud that implicated some of his closest allies, further weakening his position.
There were questions too about his decisions to sack the country's foreign and intelligence ministers in defiance of the supreme leader. The dismissals, seen as part of an attempt to wrest control of security and foreign affairs from Ayatollah Khamenei, initiated the feud with the supreme leader.
After making a series of jokes, Mr Ahmadinejad berated MPs for not making their questions tough enough before making a sneering reference to new rules requiring MPs to have a master's degree.
"It was not a very difficult quiz," he said, adding that he expected to be given top marks for it.
"Any grade of less than 20 (out of 20) would be rude."
After the session, MPs said they were furious with the president's casual manner.
"Ahmadinejad's answers to lawmakers' questions were illogical, illegal and an attempt to avoid answering them," Mohammad Taqi Rahbar was quoted as saying. "With an insulting tone, Ahmadinejad made fun of lawmakers' questions and insulted parliament."
A number of legislators said they would now seek the president's impeachment, a step they are entitled to take if they found his answers unsatisfactory.
For the moment, however, Ayatollah Khamenei is unlikely to go that far for fear of provoking an open rift that would be mutually damaging.
Though weakened, Mr Ahmadinejad retains support among more moderate conservatives, who back his lack of diligence in imposing Islamic strictures on women. He also remains popular with the rural poor and could seek to forge an alliance in the new parliament with independent MPs representing countryside constituencies, which could make any attempt to remove him a protracted and unseemly affair.

There is a whole set of things which need to be changed when we make a release but I haven't found this cumbersome enough to make writing a script worthwhile.

September 27, 1830.
A treaty of perpetual, friendship, cession and limits, entered into by John H. Eaton and John Coffee, for and in behalf of the Government of the United States, and the Mingoes, Chiefs, Captains and Warriors of the Choctaw Nation, begun and held at Dancing Rabbit Creek, on the fifteenth of September, in the year eighteen hundred and thirty.

Hamilton, William Juzan, Tobias Laflore, Jo Doke, Jacob Fulsom, P. Hays, Samuel Worcester, George Hunter, William Train, Robert Nail and Alexander McKee.
And there is given a quarter section of land each to Delila and her five fatherless children, she being a Choctaw woman residing out of the nation; also the same quantity to Peggy Trihan, another Indian woman residing out of the nation and her two fatherless children; and to the widows of Pushmilaha, and Pucktshenubbee, who were formerly distinguished Chiefs of the nation and for their children four quarter sections of land, each in trust for themselves and their children.
All of said last mentioned reservations are to be located under and by direction of the President of the U. States.
ARTICLE III. The Choctaw people now that they have ceded their lands are solicitous to get to their new homes early as possible and accordingly they wish that a party may be permitted to proceed this fall to ascertain whereabouts will be most advantageous for their people to be located.
It is therefore agreed that three or four persons (from each of the three districts) under the guidance of some discreet and well qualified person or persons may proceed during this fall to the West upon an examination of the country.
For their time and expenses the U. States agree to allow the said twelve persons two dollars a day each, not to exceed one hundred days, which is deemed to be ample time to make an examination. If necessary, pilots acquainted with the country will be furnished when they arrive in the West.
ARTICLE IV. John Donly of Alabama who has several Choctaw grand children and who for twenty years has carried the mail through the Choctaw Nation, a desire by the Chiefs is expressed that he may have a section of land, it is accordingly granted, to be located in one entire section, on any unimproved and unoccupied land. Allen Glover and George S. Gaines licensed Traders in the Choctaw Nation, have accounts amounting to upwards of nine thousand dollars against the Indians who are unable to pay their said debts without distressing their families; a desire is expressed by the chiefs that two sections of land be set apart to be sold and the proceeds thereof to be applied toward the payment of the aforesaid debts. It is agreed that two sections of any unimproved and unoccupied land be granted to George S. Gaines who will sell the same for the best price he can obtain and apply the proceeds thereof to the credit of the Indians on their accounts due to the before mentioned Glover and Gaines; and shall make the application to the poorest Indian first.
At the earnest and particular request of the Chief Greenwood Laflore there is granted to David Haley one half section of land to be located in a half section on any unoccupied and unimproved land as a compensation, for a journey to Washington City with dispatches to the Government and returning others to the Choctaw Nation.
The foregoing is entered into, as supplemental to the treaty concluded yesterday.
Done at Dancing Rabbit creek the 28th day of September, 1830.

The Hamsa Hand is an ancient Middle Eastern amulet symbolizing the Hand of God. In all faiths, it is a protective sign which brings the owner happiness, luck, health, and good fortune. The Hamsa hand has a wide variety of different spellings which includes Hamesh, Hamsa, Chamsa, and Khamsa. The words hamsa and Hamesh mean "five" and refer to the digits on the hand. Depending on who you ask, the Hamsa may mean different things. But its symbology means very different things to Hindus and Buddhists. For Hindus and Buddhists, it symbolizes the interplay of the chakras, the energy flow in the body, the five senses, and the mudras that affect them.
Each finger has its own energy:
These energies can be combined to change the flow of energy in the body and heal psychological and physical ailments. In Buddhism, it symbolizes the chakras to a less extent, but the mudras are still important nonetheless. Often times, the Hamsa is used to ward off what's known as "the evil eye". The evil eye is considered to be the sum of destructive energies that come from negative emotions in the world. This is why it's often used on walls or jewelry!

After almost two decades, I am finally moving on from my old web site and on to this new one hosted by Square Space.
It was not an easy choice, as the old one generated a lot of business, was designed by my friend Graham Law so that I could self administer it and allowed me to combine my love of shooting with sharing the W5 of what the images were all about.
The new site picks up on that tradition but is much cleaner and more contemporary looking. It will also allow me to sell some photography too, which might be fun.
So come back and visit often as I continue to build content and share your thoughts with me as you view my images.
Please hire me too!

The Japanese design studio teamLab are back at Maison&Objet Paris, this time with an installation called Floating Flower Garden.
It encompasses a floating garden full with live flowers that float up and down in response to the movement of people in the space. It includes over 2,300 floating flowers.
"When a viewer gets close to this flower-filled space, the flowers close to the viewer rise upwards all at once, creating a hemispherical space with the viewer at its center. In other words, although the whole space is filled with flowers, a hemispherical space is constantly being created with the viewer at its center and the viewer is free to move around wherever they want.
"If many viewers get close to one another, the dome spaces link up to form one single space.
In this interactive floating flower garden viewers are immersed in flowers, and become completely one with the garden itself," the designers explain.
'Each flower has a partner insect and the scent of the flowers becomes stronger at the time that the insect is most active, as a result the scent of the air in the garden space changes according to the time of day, morning, noon, and evening."

A nonprofit group has released a list of children's car seats containing toxic chemicals that might be harmful to children.
The Ecology Center in Berkeley, Calif., tested over 150, 2011-model car seats for bromine, chlorine, lead and other heavy metals and allergens. Studies have linked these substances to allergies, birth defects, impaired learning, liver toxicity and cancer.
Many of the seats tested were chemical-free but over half (60 percent) contained at least one of the chemicals.
"Car seats save lives. It's absolutely essential that parents put their children in them while driving," said Jeff Gearhart, research director at the Ecology Center, which has tested more than 7,000 consumer products for toxic chemicals since 1997. "However, our research shows that some car seats contain more harmful chemicals than others."
Most Toxic 2011 Car Seats:
Infant Seat: Graco Snugride 35 in Edgemont Red/Black & Graco SnugRide 30 in Asprey
Convertible Seat: Britax Marathon 70 in Jet Set & Britax Marathon in Platinum
Booster Seat: Recaro Pro Booster in Blue Opal & Recaro ProSPORT Toddler in Mist
Least Toxic 2011 Car Seats:
Infant Seat: Chicco KeyFit 30 in Limonata, Graco Snugride 35 in Laguna Bay & Combi Shuttle 33 in Cranberry Noche
Convertible Carseat: Graco Comfort Sport in Caleo, Graco MyRide 65 in Chandler and Streamer, Safety 1st OnSide Air in Clearwater, and Graco Nautilus Elite 3-in-1 in Gabe
Booster Seat: Graco Turbo Booster in Anders

Carpet Cleaning Annandale, VA
There are many options for carpet cleaners in Annandale, but not every company is created equal. Here at Chem-Dry of Fairfax, we know that we bring you the best carpet cleaning service available. We have the best non-toxic and eco-friendly carpet and upholstery cleaning solutions PERIOD. Cleaning the Chem-Dry way is Drier. Cleaner. Healthier.® See why below
Cleaning Solutions
Chem-Dry has been an carpet cleaning industry leader since the 70's when our proprietary cleaning solution "The Natural" was first developed. This solution was revolutionary in the carpet cleaning industry, and is available to you now as an even better an improved cleaning agent for your carpets, whatever shape they are in currently. Chem-Dry cleaning is the best and safest cleaning method available on the market in Annandale today.
Hot Carbonating Extraction
Unlike steam cleaners in Annandale, VA, our tactic isn't just soak and suck. Traditional steam cleaners will saturate your carpets with soapy liquid that takes days to fully dry, and leaves a residue on the fibers when it does. The Natural® isn't a soap, and leaves no sticky or dirt-attracting residue. Chem-Dry uses a minimal amount of specialized solution which harnesses the power of carbonation to clean, much like using club soda to bring out a stain. Because we use the carbonation to clean rather than a soapy mess, your carpets and upholstery are left to dry in a fraction of the time, usually just 1-2 hours. The Natural® leaves no film, so your carpets will actually resist soiling for longer than they would had you steam cleaned them.
Specialty Services
In addition to our standard carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning, we offer other products to keep your home a clean and free of harm. For hard to remove stains of all kinds,Chem-Dry of Fairfax has a spot remover for you! Whether your spots are Oily or otherwise, Chem-Dry stands by the promise that if we can't get it out, no one can! We also offer our unique "Protectant", which prevents Carpets from resoiling in a truly remarkable way. Click the Link below to see a short video of our Protectant in action. Lastly don't forget about ourextraordinary Pet Urine Removal Treatment or PURT. Pet urine is toxic, and leaves a residue and an odor that is hard to actually remove. There are many metods of masking scents, but the toxicity and stench will ultimately still be present from cat or dog (or whatever kind of animal) urine. PURT actually breaks down the Urine crystals chemically to truly remove the threat to your saftey, not to mention the smell.
Click here to see a demonstration of our "Protectant" in action!

The Sandbar Sports Grill in Cocoa Beach is proud to support the efforts of the Space Coast Hurricanes Sled Hockey Team in raising money to pay for Ice Time and Equipment for the 2016/17 Season.
We will be joining forces on October 16, 2016, at our signature Oktobeerfest event at the Sandbar Sports Grill in Cocoa Beach from 6 pm to close.
Tickets are $30 each and include unlimited beer tasting of over 30 beers from around the world. 40% of proceeds will go to the Sled Hockey Fund. There will also be a silent auction and door prizes and lots of swag giveaways. Be sure to come out early and collect your souvenir cup! It just makes the beer taste better.
For more information contact Tom Reinarts via Email or call (321) 720-2043
The team practices and plays at the Space Coast Ice Plex in Rockledge, FL, you can follow them on Facebook.
We need you to sponsor this important sport, step Sandbar Nation!!!
Most people are aware of wheelchair sports such as Track & Field and Basketball. What most people don't know is that the disabled athletes can also play ice hockey.
Sled hockey (also called sled hockey) started in the 1960's in Stockholm, Sweden. It spread to the United States in 1990 and became an official Paralympic sport in the winter games in 1994. Sled hockey is played in sleds that consist of a plastic seat riding on a metal frame with two blades underneath the seat. Each player has a shortened hockey stick in each hand. The end of each stick has two stainless steel picks that the player uses to push the sled along the ice. The other end of the stick has the blade that the player uses to move the puck, pass, and shoot. Sled hockey rules are essentially the same as standard hockey rules, with a few exceptions made to accommodate the sleds.
Sled hockey gained a foothold in Florida in 2006 with a series of clinics over a spring weekend in Clearwater, followed by the establishment of programs in Miami and Tampa Bay later that year. One of the original participants in the Tampa program was Nick Reinarts of Merritt Island, an eighth grade student at Edgewood Junior/Senior High School. Nick's father, Tom Reinarts, worked with the Space Coast Iceplex in Rockledge to bring sled hockey to Brevard County. The owner of the Iceplex, Rick Ninko, was very supportive of the idea, and brought in help from USA Hockey and SAHOF (State Amateur Hockey of Florida). Tim's Kids, a program established by the late Tim Szymula to introduce children to hockey, recognizing the opportunity to make hockey possible for people who normally wouldn't have a chance to play, has generously taken the sled hockey program under its wing. With help from the Miami program, sled hockey started in Rockledge on January 4, 2008. Since then, the program has grown to 20 players. Last season, our players competed against teams from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Boston, Ohio, Washington DC, Nashville, and many other locations. This season they will play in a number of games against competition from around the country.
Last season, our players competed at all levels of competition. Declan Farmer and Greg Shaw won paralympic gold medals. This season, Chris Douglas and Declan Farmer will compete at the World Championships in April in Buffaloe.
Our goal is to make sure that every player develops their skill to the maximum possible, from beginners to our players at the National level.

This year he's got his sights set on our neighbors to the North, the mighty Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jags, through a little bit of fate, get to debut 3 first round draft picks this year (fingers crossed). It should make it interesting this year for football in Florida, plus the Dolphins and Bucs are both starting over with new head coaches. You never know if they'll make the climb, just be fine, or seriously decline.
Transplant favorites: the Steelers, Packers, and Patriots all have something to prove with aging Superbowl MVP QBs –can they get back to glory? Oh and then there's Brady, Brady, Brady! Is this last year throwing the duck around the barn?

It's going to be Super!
We know what football fanatics want—to watch the game with great friends, drink beer and eat buffalo wings. That's why we started the Sandbar Football Fanclub in the first place.
Every year, we offer a Fanclub membership that has become as famous as our hometown. It includes great prizes, shirts, and giveaways, plus a fantastic way to save tons of money every Sunday from week one to the Super Bowl. A $50 Sandbar Football Fanclub membership includes $300 worth of wings and beer. That's right, football fans, well before your favorite team has hit the bye week, you're drinking and eating free all the way to The Big Game. The offer includes 10 delicious jumbo wings of your choice, and a big lineman sized 20oz Miller Lite or Coors Light to wash them down—for 21 fanatical football crazed weeks.
Every year we spoof a different football team with our own famous Sandbar Style. This year Mahi Mark, our official team mascot, has been loaned out to the Buffalo Bills as they kick off a new era under the tutelage of Rex Ryan making a run for their first Super Bowl win.
What better team than the home of the original Buffalo Wings, now made famous around the world and none better than the ones cooked up right here at the Sandbar Sports Grill in Cocoa Beach, the best place to watch sports in Cocoa Beach, period! 20 crystal clear Big Screen HDTVs located throughout our beach friendly oasis located where 520 meets the beach, behind Ron Jons Surf Shop at Alan Shepard Park.

Lightning has been given the chance to strike twice in the same place tonight during the Stanley Cup Finals.
The Tampa Bay Lightning will be facing off against the Chicago Blackhawks in the Lightning's first time in the finals since their historic win back in 2004. Here at the Sandbar we're kicking off the first of a seven game series tonight at 8:00 p.m and any Lightning fans sporting the team's gear will be given a free Hurricane Shot every time they score against the BlackHawks. After rooting for the team every year since we opened, we are more than excited to see them back in the finals ready to take on the BlackHawks.
Co-owner Andrew Bunin, himself a life-long Hockey fan, and player at the Space Coast Iceplex says "Winning the Stanley Cup is the hardest thing to do in sports. These maniacs go at each other full throttle for two months straight." Bunin has played the game for 30 years and wants to see the bolts take the cup, "We can't wait for them to win it all and bring the cup to Cocoa Beach and let's see how much better the champagne really tastes out of the cup."
If the Lightning pulls through and they win the cup, we want to make so much noise that if the team ever comes to Cocoa Beach they'll put the Cup on display in the Sandbar. Take pictures with others in front of our very own Lightning bolt and post pictures to facebook and instagram (#SandbarCB) so all your friends who are Blackhawks fans know to delete you.
Show your support from the east coast by coming down to the Sandbar Sports Grill to watch this monumental game. Let's go Bolts!

If you're serious about the beachside lifestyle, you'll want a fresh fish taco to complete the blissful scene.
No one's quite sure of the fish taco's exact origins, but it's safe to assume that they've been part of the Latin and South American diet since people started catching fish and grinding corn to make tortillas.
The Baja peninsula is often cited as the birthplace of the fish taco as we know it – whether from San Felipe or Ensenada still stirs fierce argument – and surfers returning from Mexico are credited with bringing this simple dish stateside sometime in the 1950s.
The fish taco as we know it consists of lightly fried white fish enfolded in a tortilla and topped with shredded cabbage, a cream-based sauce, fresh salsa or pico de gallo, and a squirt of lime juice. Variations on this theme exist of course, but that combination is generally agreed to be the ideal one. However Americanized the fish taco has become is beside the point, because its popularity as the quintessential beachside food is unprecedented.
Locally, some of the best examples can be found at the Sandbar Sports Grill, the "home" of the fish taco.
To learn more about the Sandbar's Fish Tacos, read the full article online at The Beachside Resident.
There's always a party going on at the Sandbar, and we were there Saturday, February 21 to witness the biggest bash the beach has ever seen – 10 bands playing over the course of the day to celebrate the Sandbar's Decade of Music.
Thanks to everyone who stepped out on the red carpet to document the spectacular event!

Brevard Live February 2015 by Charlene Hemmle
The Little Bar That Could …And Did!
It's hard to believe that it has been 10 years since The Sandbar Sports Grill in Cocoa Beach first opened its doors. What's not hard to believe is that they have grown into a consistent hotspot where people come together for beach fun, great entertainment, live music and of course, food!
Along with special events, UFC fights, sports of all kinds and delicious daily specials, the action is never lacking. This month is no exception with a "White Trash Bash" and UFC fight on February 28th and a "Fat Tuesday" party on February 17th with half priced beers and hurricanes all day. One favored event right around the corner is "King of the Couch", a friendly competition before the Superbowl for supreme reign over the "best seat in the house" complete with food, beer & room for friends.
Owners Drew Bunin and Mark Phelps spare no expense to have some sort of thrilling event planned for each and every month of the year and live music almost every day. From Dubstep to Dub Massive, Sandbar-o-ween to Sandbarapalooza and everything in between no wonder it is an epicenter for fun loving folks, They have a famous 5 lb. burrito eating contest on Cinco de Mayo and all you can drink for $20 during Okto-beer-fest. There is a-groovy island jive with live reggae music every Friday, cool rock and roll on Saturdays and casual acoustic music most other days.
The Sandbar Sports Grill is an "all purpose" restaurant/bar. Meaning it's a place you can have a casual lunch with the boss, a pizza dinner with the kids or enjoy a late night cocktail and dancing with a date. They have a varied menu with anything from sweet crab legs to handmade pizzas to glorious fish tacos. The weekly specials never change because they are such good deals like 1/2 price tacos & draft on Tuesdays or free wings with every pitcher on Wednesdays.
On Saturday February 21st the Sandbar will host a 10 Year Anniversary Party that will salute the hard work of their staff and the dedication of their customers.

It's often called the easiest and most affordable way to transform a room. Yet paint--that magical makeover in a can--is sometimes the most vexing and frustrating part of a home refurbishing or remodeling project.
The overwhelming number of options in textures and finishes is one thing, but the color choices are something else altogether. Standing before the walls of color chips can be a lesson in dizzying exhilaration and numbing insecurity. Firelight or Fire on the Mountain? Soft Wheat or Coral Cliche? Ruffled Iris or Wild Wysteria?

|Insulin/IGF-I signaling regulates the metabolism of most mammalian tissues including pancreatic islets. To dissect the mechanisms linking insulin signaling with mitochondrial function, we first identified a mitochondria-tethering complex in β-cells that included glucokinase (GK), and the pro-apoptotic protein, BADS. Mitochondria isolated from β-cells derived from β-cell specific insulin receptor knockout (βIRKO) mice exhibited reduced BADS, GK and protein kinase A in the complex, and attenuated function. Similar alterations were evident in islets from patients with type 2 diabetes. Decreased mitochondrial GK activity in βIRKOs could be explained, in part, by reduced expression and altered phosphorylation of BADS. The elevated phosphorylation of p70S6K and JNK1 was likely due to compensatory increase in IGF-1 receptor expression. Re-expression of insulin receptors in βIRKO cells partially restored the stoichiometry of the complex and mitochondrial function. These data indicate that insulin signaling regulates mitochondrial function and have implications for β-cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.

Children's Thinking: Promoting Understanding in the Primary School. Children, Teachers, and Learning Series.
Bonnett, Michael
This book brings a philosophical perspective to the topic of children's thinking. It attempts to answer the questions of what it is to think and understand, and how children do so. The book provides an introduction to the philosophy of education as it relates to children's understanding, and is careful not to assume any previous philosophical background. The focus is on a limited number of perspectives central to structuring children's learning relevant to classroom practice. Part one addresses thinking and understanding in the context of the primary school curriculum by introducing the problem, describing what is involved in developing children's thinking, and how children's learning should be structured. Part two addresses some answers in the rationalism and thinking view by describing the rationalist view of thinking, and relating rationality to the individual, liberal education, and education reconsidered. Part three provides an existentialist perspective and addresses the existentialist backdrop to thinking and understanding, self-expression in learning, authentic-rational thinking and poetic thinking. Part four explores the role of the teacher in developing children's thinking, including the place of structure in developing thinking, assessment of children's thinking and understanding, and teaching as poetry.

Garden remembers Sir Bobby Robson's life
A garden dedicated to former Newcastle and England manager Sir Bobby Robson has been officially opened.
The memorial garden was created on Gallowgate, in Newcastle, close to St James' Park.
Among those who joined County Durham-born Sir Bobby's family at the opening were Newcastle manager Alan Pardew as well as football fans.
The garden includes a series of stones featuring images to celebrate his career.
They include football images and those from his work setting up the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
The foundation was set up in 2008 and works with scientists at Newcastle University to help develop cancer treatments. In April it was announced it had raised more than £3m.
Sir Bobby died in July 2009 aged 76 after a long battle with cancer.
It is hoped the garden will provide a peaceful area close to the city centre.
North East born sculptor and Newcastle fan Graeme Mitcheson was commissioned to develop an original idea by the council's landscape architect Richard Barnes.
Newcastle City Council worked with NE1 on the project to clear the site.

NEW YORK - The Community Development Trust (CDT), the country's largest private real estate investment trust (REIT) which provides capital for the preservation of affordable housing, today announced that it has received a term sheet for $125,000,000 in bonds from the United States Department of the Treasury through its Community Development Financial Institutions Bond Guarantee Program (CDFI Bond Guarantee Program). One of four Eligible CDFIs that received approval through the inaugural round of the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program, CDT's Guarantee Application and term sheet have been approved and signed for the largest portion of the country's total allocation of $325,000,000.
As a private real estate investment trust with a social impact mission, CDT operates as a double bottom line organization by utilizing creative financial solutions to provide debt and equity capital to underserved real estate markets while seeking attractive returns for its shareholders. Operating on a national scale, CDT owns more than 5,200 units of affordable housing and also has mortgages on nearly 17,500 units of multifamily rental housing. CDT's investments in affordable housing make a difference in people's lives, and in their neighborhoods, for the long-term.
"The CDFI Bond Guarantee Program will allow us to advance our work of preserving and expanding affordable housing nationally through innovative, mission-driven investments," said Joe Reilly, President and CEO of CDT. "We are proud to have received an inaugural award in this program, and we look forward to using this funding to aid our efforts in expanding and preserving the country's supply of high-quality, affordable housing."
The Community Reinvestment Fund, USA (CRF), one of three institutions approved by the CDFI Fund as a Qualified Issuer, will issue the bonds, and CDT will use the proceeds for investments in low-income and distressed communities across the country. CRF is a certified CDFI based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has been responsible for issuing over 50 structured financial instruments and delivering $1.5 billion in loans nationwide for 25 years.
"CDT is a first in class CDFI," said Frank Altman, President and CEO of CRF. "We feel privileged to work with them to bring this valuable program and the access to capital it provides to the communities that need it most."
The CDFI Bond Guarantee Program, enacted by the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, provides long-term, low cost capital to support eligible CDFIs that make investments in low-income and rural areas through community or economic development financing activity. CDFIs gain from the scale of the CDFI Bond Guarantee Program, and are able to leverage bond loan proceeds to increase the accessibility to affordable financial products and services among low-income people and communities.

Thankfully the always entertaining Tomomi has ended any worries about that by stating, unequivocally, that she will be taking the loss as a learning experience and continuing to compete in the sport. Something that we are very glad to hear.
Whilst we know some think that Tomomi only gets the attention she gets due to her looks it needs accepting that she manages to draw a lot of cross over attention to boxing and that alone is a good thing. The more attention the sport gets the better and with Tomomi making headlines on a number of the Japanese sports papers she is effectively a great advert for the boxing world.
With her promise to continue with boxing we'd expect her to continue to make headlines and a proposed fight with Riyako Goshi would certainly get a lot of inches even if the fight it's self wouldn't be anything great. The weigh in for this prospective bout would be sensational and likely a lot more entertaining than the actual fight.

You and your family will love the cozy, comfortable and natural warmth these quality organic comforters provide and the deeper rest you get when sleeping in bedding free from the chemicals, herbicides and insecticides found in commercially processed and mass produced cottons and wools. Many non-organic domestic cottons are some of the most heavily sprayed plants used for commercial bedding and these toxic chemicals remain in the plant fibers long after processing. Read more about chemicals on conventional cotton farming versus organic.
In addition to the many health benefits of organic cottons and wools, you sleep better simply because of the natural fibers. The wool filling keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter because the air trapped between the fibers responds to your body temperature. Perspiration is absorbed and released slowly through evaporation so that you never wake up overheated or chilled from night sweats.
Safe, hypoallergenic down and feather free comforters for you and your family will help you create a clean and healthy sleeping environment. To extend the life of your comforter, we also recommend placing your new comforter in a duvet to protect it from dirt, wear and tear and to keep it as hypoallergenic as possible.
Both our organic certified deluxe wool or standard eco wool come from organically raised sheep on small USA family owned farms and practice and follow organic methods for land and animal management. We use wool from California, Oregon and Washington and these beautifully USA made comforters will keep you evenly warm and perspiration-free from head to toe. See our guide below to help you choose the correct fill weight.
We offer 3 wool fill weights in both our Certified Wool and Standard Wool Hand Tufted styles. Choose your fill weight based on the temperature you keep inside your home during the night or on your preferred weight and feel of your comforter.
Please see the product details below for more information. During our busy winter months and based on demand the processing time can be longer.
Long life, easy care natural organic cotton and wools. Simply hand wash, spot clean outer fabric or dry clean naturally (no water). Wool does not harbor bacteria! Air your comforters outdoors in warmer climates to freshen. During winter leave the bed open and let the air circulate over and refresh your comforters. Natural fabrics benefit best from fresh air and sunshine. Add a beautiful organic cotton duvet to protect your investment in your new comforter!
We recommend the use of a duvet or other covering such as a blanket or bedspread with your comforter to help protect them and keep them dust free, clean and hypoallergenic! Please see important warranty information on Our Polices page regarding the use and care of our comforters. Back to top

Downtown cleanup a joke?
Crime is so rampant in inner-city Albany , we can't help but question the sincerity of city leadership's call on the new Code Enforcement Department to single-handedly reverse downtown blight by requiring property owners to improve dilapidated properties. Take the area of North Monroe and West Residence avenues, for example. This week, three side-by-side-by-side residences – from 408 to 412 W. Residence – remain a haven for drug-dealers and dogfighters despite all the tough talk from the city. "My tenants are moving out. They are so scared. And when I call the police, they do nothing. They're probably scared, too," said Barbara Beauchamp, who owns rental property in the area. A stabbing occurred in the neighborhood last weekend, and a maintenance worker witnessed a man fleeing a burglary scene, but the police refused to question the man because "they said they didn't see him break in," Ms. Beauchamp said. At 412 N. Monroe , the residents have been evicted because of the unsanitary conditions of the home; yet, on Wednesday, at least 10 tenants remained. "Now, that's ridiculous," Ms. Beauchamp frustratingly said.Indeed.
Whoops, again, at Cooper
Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. is voluntarily recalling tens of thousands of tires made in Albany for manufacturing defects. The company told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall more than 48,000 light truck tires sold under more than 20 brand names, including Cooper Discoverer, Wildcat and Wild Country. Concerns with sidewall separation prompted the voluntary recall. A similar Cooper tire recall was held eight months ago.
Central Monitoring coat tally: 1,702
As it turns out, Southwest Georgians still had plenty of coats in their closet after Central Monitoring's 2007 coat drive netted 2,218 coats. Another 1,702 coats were collected in the Albany alarm monitoring and installation company's 2007-08 One Warm Coast drive. Albany 's 11 fire stations and many businesses, churches and organizations participated in the now-annual endeavor. The coats were taken to the Food Bank of Southwest Georgia , which distributed them to member agencies.
Big Loser in Albany
Poppi Kramer from the NBC hit "Biggest Loser" Season 3 is coming to Albany . Ms. Kramer continued on her journey to lose weight after being sent home, losing half of her body weight, and has been proclaimed the season's "At-Home Winner." As the keynote speaker, Ms. Kramer will help culminate the Albany-Savannah weight loss challenge at 6:30 p.m. April 3 at the Government Center , 222 Pine Ave. Nearly 50 families participated in the Albany-Savannah challenge to lose weight, lower cholesterol and blood-pressure levels, and incorporate exercise into their lifestyles.

Lassa Fever virus is a very acute virus that affects all the organs of the body.
Here are some common signs to watch out for
Muscle pain
Fatigue and occasional swelling of the muscle
Itchy eyes
Nausea and vomiting of bloody
Stomach pains and bloody diarrhea
Cough, Chest pain and breathing difficulty
Lassa Fever Treatment In Nigeria
We can't talk treatment without first carrying out an accurate diagnosis in a laboratory or in a designated test center.
Here are the procedures for treating a person battling Lassa Fever diease
The first step in the treatment of a carrier of the virus is admitting and isolating the person, while also ensuring that the patient's body fluid and excreta are properly disposed in order to prevent the spread.
Aggressive Lassa Fever Treatment Using Ribavirin & Interferon Drugs
"For people to have a chance of survival, there must be early and aggressive treatment with a drug called ribavirin and of course the normal treatment you give to patients. There is also a drug we call interferon which can boost the immune system.
"The normal treatment for people who have such viral infection is you must make sure you test the person and ensure the patient has enough (intravenous) fluids. Also if the person has bled so much, there might be need for some level of transfusion."
How To Prevent Lassa Fever Virus Disease In Nigeria
Being a viral infection, which can be easily spread, medical practitioners have always harped on prevention as the best form of treatment. Preventive measures in this regard refer to making efforts to control the rat population around the house, while also ensuring that no food is exposed to rodents since the urine and body fluid of rodents are the key things which cause Lassa fever transmission.
Some people eat rats; those people should be discouraged because transmission could happen when it is being prepared. It is just like we told people not to eat bats and bush meat during the Ebola period so people must make sure that they prevent contacts with rats and then they should cover their food very well.
For those who also like to gulp down canned drinks without running a careful check, there could also be a grim picture as using a tissue paper to clean the opening is not enough to safeguard against the virus. For it to be safe for drinking, there would be need to use soap and water, the medic added.
Do not drink directly from a canned drink. It can be dangerous because you don't know whether rodents have urinated on them in the process of storage. It is important that we use soap and water to clean the openings of those things before they are served to people".
Our food can get contaminated and if you eat without cooking, the possibility of getting infected is high. Once you cook the food items, you destroy the virus, so people smoking garri and all those kind of things are at risk. If the rodents urinate on the fruits and you pick up banana or carrot and you just start chewing it without washing, that could be dangerous, so it boils down to hygiene and cleanliness.
