Kcal ??? Fat ??? Fat(sats) ??? Carbs ???
Today im reviewing the first of four flavoured bars from current Chocolate Mission leading manufacturer Hotel Chocolat. I must once again express my thanks to Maxine who was kind of to send me the 'Peepster Box' which contained the four different flavoured slabs - today I sampled the Chilli & Orange flavour.
The Peepster Box includes 4 different flavoured offerings all of which are indivdually cellophane wapped. The presentation of the box is nice though I couldnt help but feel the plastic wrappers were a bit of a step down from the boxed presentation of the house slabs I had previously reviewed. The chocolate once again came in the famous Hotel Chocolat presentation of slabs...again no doubting their chicness but they seriously arent the most practical way of eating chocolate. This particular flavour came split into two 62.5g slabs - for reasons I will go into they wernt quite the fully satisfying offering of the house slabs but eaten individually they were still extremely fulfilling.
The Chilli & Orange flavour was contained within 72% dark chocolate. Opening the wrapper the strength of the chocolate was quite evident, the slabs had a strong cocoa aroma that smelt delicious....what was slightly puzzling was the lack of orange or chilli....if it was a blind test based on smell I wouldnt of said the bar was enhanced by any flavours.
Though slightly weaker in cocoa than the 85% bar the dark chocolate retained much of the richness of flavour. It wasnt quite as strong and the aftertaste was slightly weaker, though it retained a very similar deep but slightly sweet vanilla noted taste. The chocolate had an extremely smooth texture much like the 85% and literally melted on the tongue into a thick but silky syrup like form. The texture of the bar was further enhanced by the chilli element which added an interesting warmth to the aftertaste - the chilli didnt seem to add anything of note to the taste but it certainly provided an distinct aspect to the texture. Like many of the other chocolate orange bars I have reviewed the flavour of the orange in this offering was achieved using orange oil and not orange pieces. The orange flavour itself was suprisingly anonymous in this bar which initially suprised me...I thought that maybe the flavour would develop as I ate more of the bar but unfortunately this was not the case - I even double checked the wrapper to make sure I had picked the right slabs out the box...to be honest I was disappointed.
Overall its hard scoring this bar as although its a great tasting chocolate offering it just fails to deliver the flavour it promises. The dark chocolate is glorious in its own right but if your paying up to £3.50 for a particular flavour you expect it to really be quite evident...the orange flavour in this bar was hardly detectable. As I have said its hard criticising this bar as the dark chocolate although not quite as rich and flavoursome as the 85% was still divine and the chilli certainly added a nice warmth to the texture...unfortunately the lack of orange really held back the score of this bar. If your a fan of dark chocolate and chilli this will float your boat - but if your looking for a chocolate orange flavour hit theres genuinely better there...to be honest your better off buying a Terry's Chocolate Orange and still having £3.10 in your pocket. Delicious yet disappointing.

Same shit, different day
After a few hands, i immediately noticed that one was tight, one was a calling station, one was very very passive, and the last one was a loose aggressive player. An hour into the game, and i took advantage of the calling station and also with some very nice hands i quadrupled my stack to 4000. i was feeling pretty good, and the tide seemed to have turned to my favor after the huge downswings i had the previous month. Then it started to get ugly. I hate repeating bad beat stories, but pocket 10s, A-Koff, A-Qoff wiped out 2500 from my stack almost in consecutive hands. It was ugly. i hit the flops hard, but i got beat by the loose aggressive guy who kept raising me and then hitting the draw. My last hand was A-9 suited, hit the flop with 9-3-3, i bet 500 which was about 1/4 of the already big pot (about 5 callers to a 200+ raise, i was last to act pre-flop at the blinds so i called, getting 4-1 on my money) and then got called. i checked the turn, got pushed all in for about 500 more (with a pot of about 3500) so i called, and he showed pocket tens. ugh.
poof. it happened so fast, and then less than an hour later, they all left the table. The guy who took my stack ended up losing it all to another regular player. ouch.
same shit, different day.

Last month, the Center for Black Literature at Medgar Evers College (MEC) presented the Twelfth National Black Writers Conference (NBWC), in which Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott was among this year's honorees. Thanks to C-SPAN Book TV, a selection of panels from the Conference will be aired Saturday, April 12, and Sunday, April 13. This is a great opportunity for people who missed this year's conference, as well as for those who attended and want to recapture moments, to hear and view some of the dynamic, thought-provoking panel discussions featured at the event, which was held on the campus of Medgar Evers College, Thursday, March 27 through Sunday, March 30, 2014.

Saving Ourselves, Saving Our Communities
Reconstructing the Historical Narrative
The State of Publishing
The Twelfth National Black Writers Conference featured a variety of literary figures that truly represented the theme of the Conference, "Reconstructing the Master Narrative." Cheryl Wills, NY1 News anchor and an author in her own right, was Mistress of Ceremonies for the Tribute and Awards program in which best-selling author Walter Mosley; poet and writer Quincy Troupe; author Maryse Condé; and Margaret T. Burroughs, cofounder of the Du Sable Museum of African American History, in Chicago, were also honored for their outstanding contributions to African-American literature and culture.
Derek Walcott is the second Nobel Prize-winning author for literature to be recognized by and attend the National Black Writers Conference. "The awarding of the W.E.B. Du Bois Award to Derek Walcott at the Twelfth National Black Writers Conference reflects our praise and tribute to a man whose literary voice has impacted all parts of the African Diaspora," said Dr. Brenda Greene, executive director at the Center for Black Literature. "Derek Walcott, from his place as a St. Lucian poet, playwright, and painter, writes of the world, of love, of the legacy of colonialism in his country, of the complexity of identity and of the search for self in language layered with images and metaphors that capture our unspoken desires, our questions, our rages, our paradoxes and our conflicts."
Among the highlights of the 2014 NBWC was the preconference event "Audre Lorde: A Burst of Light" that featured keynote speaker Angela Davis. Before an audience of more than 500 people, Davis spoke of the relevance of the works of Lorde, who was an influential poet, writer, activist, and feminist. She also applauded the work of Esther Cooper Jackson, who received a tribute for her work with Freedomways, an influential journal that was published from 1961 to 1985 and acted as a political, cultural, and moral compass for social activists, attracting contributions from a wide array of socially conscious scholars, writers, and artists, as well as from prominent civil rights and African liberation leaders.
Other highlights of the 2014 Conference include engaging discussions on topics such as "Race, Power, and Politics," which examined the interrelationships between race, power, and politics in the works of Black writers; "Reconstructing the Historical Narrative," in which panelists discussed the ways they have reconstructed the master narrative through their creative works, and "The State of Publishing: A 2014 Odyssey," a panel of publishing professionals who discussed some of the trends and challenges in today's publishing industry. Author Gillian Royes, who presented on the panel "Shifting Identities in Africa and the African Diaspora," said of the Conference: "It was productive, enlightening and inspirational."
As with most of the NBWCs, which have been a tradition at Medgar Evers College since 1986, there were several components to the Conference for attendees to take in. This year, the Conference presented a Poetry Café at the Brooklyn Public Library, with poets Jessica Care Moore, Tony Medina, and Ed Mabrey; a film series coordinated by African Voices /Reel Sisters that featured Gordon Parks's 1984 film "Solomon Northups Odyssey"; and the John Oliver Killens Reading Series that presented a host of authors who read from their recently released titles. There were also instructional talkshops led by published authors and publishing professionals.
The Center for Black Literature also celebrated a milestone: at the 2014 Conference: its Tenth Anniversary. Poets Quincy Troupe, Cheryl Boyce-Taylor, Tyehimba Jess, Staceyann Chin, T. Rasul Murray and Hermina Marcellin along with singer Kendra Ross performed and read as part of the festivities, which was hosted by MK Lewis.

Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron Interview (PSP)
Published Jun 19, 2007
Gamespy recently posted an interesting article with KC Coleman, an Assistant Producer of the new PSP Star Wars Battlefront game at Star Wars Celebration. Coleman talks about what new things Battlefront gamers can expect from this upcoming PSP game. Here's a snip:
Coleman: A great new feature for us is the fact that it's built from the ground up for the PSP by Rebellion -- and they have a lot of great PSP experience with games like Gun and Miami Vice -- [and] just their tech is in tune with the PSP. But the feature, gameplay wise, is the ability to customize or personalize your character. No longer are you playing as a sniper class or a rocket trooper. You're now able to take a certain amount of credits, spend those credits on a variety of different weapons, on a variety of different abilities such as health and speed, and really go ahead and create the guy you want to play as.
Please be civil.

Robert C. Kirk
Robert C. Kirk (February 26, 1821 – 1898) was an American politician who served as the fifth Lieutenant Governor of Ohio from 1860 to 1862 under Governor William Dennison.[1]
Robert C. Kirk was born February 26, 1821 in Mount Pleasant, Jefferson County, Ohio.[2] He attended the schools in Mount Pleasant and entered Franklin College in New Athens, Ohio, but did not graduate.[2] Other sources say he entered Ohio University in Athens, Ohio.[3][4] He returned to his native town and studied medicine, and then took a course at University of Pennsylvania medical school in Philadelphia.[3][4]
Kirk moved to Fulton County, Illinois and began a medical practice. Some years later, he returned to Ohio and was in the mercantile business in Mount Vernon. He moved to Winona, Minnesota for a year and then returned to Mount Vernon.[2]
In 1855, he was elected to the Ohio State Senate,[5] and in 1859 he was elected Lieutenant Governor on the Republican ticket, serving a two year term. Three years later, President Lincoln appointed him Minister to the Argentine Republic. He resigned in 1866 and returned to Ohio.[2]
In 1869, President Grant appointed Kirk to be the Minister to Argentina and Uruguay. He resigned in 1871. In 1873, Governor Noyes appointed him Commissioner to represent Ohio at the Vienna Exposition. In 1875, he was appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for the Thirteenth Ohio District. He later returned to private life in Mount Vernon.
Family life
On December 11, 1843, Kirk married Eleanor Hogg, of Mt. Pleasant. They had four children.[3] Kirk married a second time to Alice V. Hutchison on August 31, 1893.[4] He was a Freemason and member of I.O.O.F. and the Methodist Episcopal Church.[4]
Kirk died in 1898 at age 77.[4]

The 36-year-old woman killed in an early morning car crash on the Queensboro Bridge today was an off-duty NYPD officer, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said.
The commissioner said Officer Elisa Toro, 36, was a 10-year veteran of the NYPD and a mother of two sons, ages 17 and 13.
"This was a particular tragedy for our department," Kelly said.
The crash occurred around 1:52 a.m. on the Long Island City side of the bridge.
Police reports indicated Toro was driving over the bridge when she hit a guard rail.
The car then slammed into a cement barrier and overturned before skidding into a vacant storefront on Queens Plaza South. Toro, the sole occupant in the vehicle, was thrown from the car during the crash and pronounced dead at the scene, Kelly said.
Kelly said the cement barriers there had been put up because of previous accidents at that site.

Check the deed to your property or the property survey that came at closing. Both of these should have the dimensions of your property on it. If you don't have these anymore, the office in charge of storing records for your county should have the survey on file.Continue Reading
Take a look at your deed first. This document has a description of the measurements of the property as well as the boundaries written out in words. The landmarks in the description help you figure out where your exact property lines are now. Use a cone or stake to mark each corner, and measure from one stake to the next until you have measurements of the entire perimeter. Check these figures with what you see in your deed.
On the property survey, you see such numbers as the distance between the property line and your house, or the property line and the street. These numbers also provide perspective on the actual location of property lines, so that you and your neighbors both act responsibly when it comes to building fences and figuring out ways to manage your property.
If you've lost the deed and survey, the county assessor's office has maps available for public viewing that show neighborhoods and streets. Ask for a copy of maps that provide access to clear sightlines to your property line.Learn more about Real Estate

The fist chapter, titled "Wanda," opens on Monday in Room 13. Peggy is the most popular girl in the class. Madeline, known to he fiends as Maddie, is Peggy's best friend. Another girl in the class, Wanda Petonski, is absent, but no one really notices. Wanda sits in a corner of the room where mostly boys sit. The boys are all from the countryside and the students in this corner usually have mud on their shoes from their walk to school. Most of the boys in this corner don't make good grades and they are very noisy. Wanda is not noisy. She sometimes smiles but never laughs out loud. She lives in a poor neighborhood called Boggins Heights. Wildflowers bloom there in the summer but it's not a good neighborhood.
No one really notices Wanda during class but the girls often gather around her before...

What's Your Ecological Footprint?
Lesson 9 of 10
Objective: Students will be able to articulate how the choices they make determine their impact on the environment.
In this lesson, students will use an online interactive website to determine their carbon footprint as a way of measuring their environmental impact. They will then consider their personalized footprint in comparison with the U.S. and global averages and answer reflective questions which will prepare students for a class discussion.
Compared with the other internet data collection and analysis lessons from this unit (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), this is a shorter interactive lesson appropriate for a class period of 60-75 minutes. However, you may extend the length of this lesson by making the extra credit option (completing a second footprint calculator) a requirement, or extending the discussion.
Access to laptop or desktop computers is essential for this activity as some of the websites have very limited mobile functionality. You may want to plan ahead and schedule a 1 or 2 day block in your school's computer lab if you do not have a class set of computers.
Connection to Standards:
In this lesson, students will follow a complex, multi-step procedure, develop claims supported by evidence, conduct research, and model with mathematics to better understand complex systems.
Warm Up
I begin the lesson by reminding students about the predicting environmental impact lesson where we looked at how population growth affects the environment differently depending on the country and factors such as their Carbon emissions per capita.
I then review the concept of per capita Carbon emissions with the following questions:
- Q: "Why are Carbon emissions a good measure of environmental impact?", A: Carbon is a greenhouse gas, the more that is emitted, the more the planet's temperature increases
- Q: "What does per capita mean?", A: it's an average figure positing the behavior of an imaginary "average" citizen based on the data of the population as a whole.
- Q: "Does each member of a country emit the per capita emissions?", A: No, some people are responsible for more emissions, some for less. The per capita figure is an average.
I then let students know that we will be using an interactive website that allows them to enter the details of their own lifestyle to calculate their own ecological footprint (a concept covered in the describing populations lesson earlier in this unit) and determine how their own environmental impact measures up against the U.S. (~27 tons of CO2 per capita) and global (~5.5 tons of CO2 per capita) averages.
At the end of this short warm up, I distribute the activity worksheet and we move on to the independent practice section.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Independent Practice
Once we have completed the warm up and the activity worksheet has been distributed, I ask students to either get a laptop from our class set or navigate to the footprint calculator on their smartphones. Since functionality is limited on certain smartphones, it's really preferable that students work on either laptops or on desktops in a computer lab. That being said, several students of mine successfully completed this lesson on smartphones.
Once students have a computer or their smartphones ready, I have them navigate to the Nature Conservancy's carbon footprint calculator. Once there, I use my computer and a projector to show them how to get started and demonstrate that by selecting different options changes the estimated carbon footprint on the right side of the interactive portion of the website.
After that demonstration, I have the students begin their work independently. The calculator itself can be worked through fairly quickly, so even if students are sharing a computer, they can both complete it in less than 15 minutes. Despite the fact that some students will be able to work through the calculator fairly quickly without issue, some students will need assistance with various aspects of the calculator. Therefore, as they are working with the calculator, I walk around to help troubleshoot technical issues and answer any other questions students have (these usually involve defining terms like attached/detached home, efficient lighting, etc.).
If students wish (or if you prefer to extend the lesson), they can also go to the Global Footprint Network's calculator for comparison. This calculator has more interesting graphics than the Nature Conservancy's site, but it does take longer to walk through. If you have more time or computers for every student, it may be good to have them do both calculators so that they may compare their results based on the different questions that each calculator asks. An interesting side discussion or extension question in the reflective discussion might be to ask which calculator they thought was more accurate and to explain why. There's no right answer to such a question, the idea for this lesson is just to have students think more quantitatively about their own consumption habits.
Resources (2)
Once students have completed the calculator and answered their questions, we hold a discussion to reflect on the results of their calculations.
One of the groups of questions that make for very interesting conversation are the questions regarding a lifestyle change the students would like to make and how that change would affect their footprint. On the one hand, this is a very easy way for students to talk quantitatively about how their lifestyle impacts the environment. The other, perhaps more substantial point, is that this question allows students to reflect on the "American Dream" of home ownership, a nice car, the ability to take vacations, etc. It's telling that most of my students don't aspire to be fantastically wealthy, just that they might enjoy a middle class lifestyle that most of them don't get to experience.
I try and make sure that a variety of students participate in the discussion. When students' responses vary (i.e., they have different CO2 emissions), I take that opportunity to ask students questions about why they might differ so much. Usually, it has to do with what kind of house they live in, if they have traveled by plane, if they have a car, etc.
The final question from the worksheet regards whether or not the changes they could make to reduce their environmental impact are realistic. (i.e. are they changes that they themselves could make?) What I like about this question is that it allows students to reflect on the fact that altering our collective impact is inextricable from making personal commitments to change. One student impressively utilized vocabulary covered in the previous lesson in his response that the changes he could make to reduce his footprint wouldn't be easy, but they wouldn't be impossible either.
Following the discussion, I collect the worksheets and read over student responses. For any students that did not complete the worksheet in class, I assign it as homework to be collected at the next class meeting. Since this is such a personal lesson, I like to add a little more feedback than usual when grading this assignment to celebrate my student's honesty and willingness to be a bit more self-reflective than I ask them to be on a more typical lesson that might ask them to take more of an outward-facing, "big picture" perspective.

Late last week, Monster Energy's "Dirt Shark" video series featured Jorge Lorenzo's home in Barcelona, Spain on its website and Monster's YouTube channel.
The "Dirt Shark" show is a bit more "MTV Cribs" than it is "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" in its approach. It only focuses on Monster's sponsored athletes, and aims to glamorize their homes and lifestyles — along with an obligatory shot of their Monster-chocked refrigerator. However, the video on Lorenzo's house appeared briefly on Monster Energy's YouTube channel, as well as on DirtShark.com, before it was taken down.
It was removed because of harsh criticism in Spain for its showing, though it's not clear if Lorenzo asked for it to be removed, or it Monster buckled to the public pressure — it's probably a little bit of both, and frankly doesn't really matter.
It didn't take long though for low-quality web-rips of the video to circulate through social media sites though, and beyond Lorenzo's stunning vistas, immensely large gym (where he says he works out three to four hours a day), the video is littered with young women tanning by Lorenzo's pool, lounging in his hot tubs, and dancing in his miniature discotheque (so awkward).

AQIS has developed operator guidelines for vessels less than 25 metres and vessels greater than 25 metres arriving in Australia to assist masters, agents and owners to comply with quarantine requirements. It is the responsibility of the user to check that they have the latest version and to ensure compliance with legislation.
See http://www.border.gov.au/australian-border-force-abf/protecting/airports-and-seaports for the latest versions.
The AQIS Seaports Program is responsible for the quarantine clearance of all incoming overseas vessels, vessel waste, crew, passengers and their accompanied goods. Quarantine controls at Australia's borders are governed by the Quarantine Act 1908.
Approval for vessel to enter Australia
Overseas vessels must enter an Australian first port of entry. Permission to enter an alternative port must be formally approved by AQIS prior to arrival. To obtain an application form please visit http://www.border.gov.au/australian-border-force-abf/protecting/airports-and-seaports
Ports of Entry in Australia
Vessels can enter an official port of entry in the following regions in Australia:
NSW – Coffs Harbour, Eden, Lord Howe, Newcastle, Norfolk Island, Port Kembla/Wollongoing and Sydney
NT – Darwin & Gove
Queensland – Brisbane, Bundaberg, Cairns, Gladstone, The Gold Coast, Mackay, Thursday Island, Townsville and Weipa
South Australia – Port Adelaide & Port Lincoln
Tasmania – Hobart, Burnie, Launceston & Devonport
Victoria – Melbourne, Portland, Geelong & Westernport
Western Australia – Albany, Broome, Bunbury, Carnarvon, Dampier, Esperance, Fremantle, Geraldton & Port Hedland
Quarantine pre-arrival reporting requirements
Vessels which are less than 25 metres are required to report prescribed information to an AQIS officer 96–12 hours before the estimated time of arrival at an Australian port. The information can be provided verbally or in writing. If the information changes after it is given, an update of the changes must be provided again as soon as possible.
Prescribed information includes:
- vessel particulars such as name, identifiers, voyage-related details including the number of persons onboard
- health questions highlighting illness and/or death of persons onboard the vessel
- details of any animals onboard.
Vessels which are greater than 25 metres are required to report prescribed information on the Quarantine Pre-arrival Report (QPAR) to an AQIS officer 96 –12 hours before the estimated time of arrival at an Australian port. If the information changes, after it is given, an update of the changes must be provided again as soon as possible.
Prescribed information includes:
- vessel particulars such as name, identifiers, agent and voyage-related details
- health questions highlighting illness and/or death of persons on board the vessel
- proposed crew and passenger movements
- details of animals onboard.
Human health
The master of a vessel must notify AQIS if a person onboard displays a prescribed symptom or disease.
Prescribed symptoms include: temperature over 38 °C; unexplained skin rashes, persistent vomiting or diarrhoea, bleeding from the eyes. Prescribed diseases include: cholera, influenza, malaria, measles, rabies and yellow fever.
Quarantine signal
A yellow quarantine flag must be flown upon entry until pratique (clearance) is granted. Granting pratique includes providing the master of the vessel with a formal certificate on an approved form at their first port of arrival. Under no circumstances are any persons permitted to leave nor board the vessel prior to pratique being granted.
AQIS inspection
Upon arrival in an Australian port AQIS will board the vessel to review documentation and perform a physical inspection.
Interview with the master
The interview with the master provides the QO with the opportunity to verify the health status of the vessel, people and animals (where applicable) onboard.
Vessel inspection
On arrival at a first port of entry the vessel will be subject to a physical inspection by an AQIS officer. The inspection may include:
- assessing the health of persons onboard
- inspection of foodstuffs, personal effects/articles
- removal of waste
- assessing biofouling risks
- inspecting timber components
Goods that can and can't be brought into Australia
For a list of goods that are not permitted into Australia, please visit the AQIS website at: http://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity/faqs#what-can-i-bring-or-send-to-australia
For further information on what goods can be brought into Australia, please refer to the AQIS import conditions database, FAQ's – Click Here
The following contains examples of items you must declare upon arrival, it should not be considered an exhaustive list:
- all food—cooked and raw food and ingredients
- animal products
- seeds and nuts
- live animals and animal products
- plant material
- used freshwater watercraft, sporting or fishing equipment
Ship's pets
Overseas vessels that carry pets are considered high risk therefore require increased surveillance whilst in Australian waters. Prior to arrival at an Australian first port of call, the master must notify AQIS of the presence of animals onboard the vessel.
Where evidence of timber pests (particularly termites) exist the vessel may be ordered in to quarantine and be subject to further inspection, possibly with termite detector dogs.
Refits are ideal times to inspect for termites. Make sure you also inspect the timber that you bring on to your vessel. AQIS must be contacted for approval prior to any refits while in Australian waters.
Since 2005, AQIS has been conducting a voluntary biofouling management regime for overseas vessels less than 25 metres in length arriving in Australia.
It is anticipated that the Australian Government will move towards mandatory risk-based biofouling management requirements for all overseas vessels arriving in Australia and that the requirements will remain consistent with AQIS's current recommended cleaning practices. These include:
- Application of an effective anti-fouling coating suited to the operation of the vessel
- inspecting, and if necessary, cleaning your vessel including niche areas (including but not limited to internal seawater systems, sea chests, rudder stock and propeller shafts) anchors, chains and other ancillary gear immediately prior to arrival in Australia
- Once inspected and cleaned at an overseas port, departing immediately and travelling directly to Australia to minimise re-contamination
- Maintaining a voyage and biofouling maintenance log and other documentation that supports any biofouling mitigation activities undertaken.
Under the requirements, the focus will likely be on whether the operator's maintenance regime has been effective in minimising the biofouling accumulation on the vessel, to guard against the presence of quarantinable biofouling pests.
As such, in-water inspections of vessels to determine the level and nature of biofouling present will be a component of the requirements. This may be either as a pre-arrival preparatory action by the vessel owner/operator or an on-arrival inspection. AQIS is proposing that a list of appropriately qualified divers be available for vessel owners to perform these in-water inspections.
The AQIS website will be updated when implementation of these requirements can be confirmed.
Quarantine waste
While in port, all vessel waste on deck must be secured so that it is inaccessible to birds or animals i.e. bagged and in lidded deck bins. No items are to be taken off the vessel without prior permission from AQIS.
Vessel returning from the Torres Strait
Australia's quarantine laws are designed to manage the risk associated with the introduction of exotic pests and diseases entering the Torres Strait, or spreading from the Strait to mainland Australia.
If you've visited or operated in the Torres Strait you must contact AQIS to arrange a vessel inspection—preferably at Thursday Island before you leave the Strait, or you can report to another AQIS office up to four days before you first make landfall on the mainland. You can contact AQIS via phone, email, VHF (channel 16) or through local harbour authorities.
Importing a vessel into Australia
If the vessel is being sailed, motored or towed into Australia, the vessel must obtain pratique clearance from the first port of entry. For the latest information on importing vessels please refer to the AQIS import conditions database, Importing Vessels – Click Here
Contact an AQIS Regional office here to arrange an inspection prior to the vessel arrival.
To obtain information on duties and tax payable, contact the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service at email@example.com
Please note: Customs brokers in Australia and overseas will also be able to assist with the procedures on the importation of yachts. Please be advised there will be costs incurred for this service.
Fees and charges
All vessels that enter Australia are subject to fees as outlined in the AQIS Fees and CHARGING GUIDELINES
For further information on fees and charging or to obtain a copy of the AQIS Seaports Program fees schedule please visit the AQIS website at http://www.agriculture.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/aqis/airvesselmilitary/vessels/forms/qpar-guide.pdf

Windows 7 Installation Problem
1. Background of my problem:
I have an HP-G70460US notebook.
The machine was originally installed with the MS Vista Home Premium-32 bit OS even though it is 64 bit capable.
I burned the recovery disks for Vista Home Premium-32 and stored them when I first purchased the computer.
I have now upgraded the computer to Win 7-Ultimate-32 as I did not want to do a scratch install of Win 7-64 until I had done an adequate back-up and recorded all of my personal settings. This installation was done via a Win 7-Home Premium-Upgrade and then the Windows Anytime Upgrade to Ultimate so that my personal setting were retained in the upgrade.
My thought on this was that I could then go back and do the scratch install to Win 7-64 and with my personal settings saved in the back-up of Win 7-32, and that I could restore the individual user files from the backup in order to avoid having to re-enter all my personal information and files from scratch after program installations were complete.
However, to do this I need to re-install Vista Home Premium-32 and go through the double upgrade process in order to install Win 7-64 Ultimate.
2. My Problem:
My problem is that when I try to use the Vista Home Premium Restore disks that I burned to re-install Vista 32, the NTFS formatting of the C drive dies about 1/2 way through the process, effectively disabling my machine. The machine does eventually recover to Win 7-32 Ultimate after an extensive file CHKDSK recovery and reindex of the files. I also had to restore my MS-Outlook PST file and reinstall my Norton Internet Security to gain complete recovery.
I also tried to use my Norton Ghost recovery disk, to restore the image but this also dies before the sector by sector restore can begin.
It looks as though there may be some image protection scheme installed in Win 7-Ultimate or associated with the HP machine. However, I never had a problem using my Norton Ghost recovery while I was using Vista Home Premium 32.
Can anyone advise me how to reinstall my Vista Home Premium 32 OS so I can begin the 64 bit conversion?

Borrow a 64 bit clean copy DVD of Win7, unlock all versions if necessary using ei.cfg removal tool, then clean install your licensed version using the Product Key stickered to the machine.
You can extract HP applications from the Recovery disks using this: https://www.sevenforums.com/installation-setup/53182-hp-3rd-party-software-after-clean-win-7-install.html#post488270
I am not sure what double-upgrade process you are contemplating, but there is no way to go from 32 bit to 64 bit without a clean install, and a clean copy DVD install of Win7 is vastly superior to re-importing the bloatware larded into today's recovery disks.

The African Union condemned what it called a "cowardly ambush" by al-Shabab militants Sunday in southern Somalia that killed three of its troops.
The militants attacked an AU convoy in the town of Lego in Somalia's Lower Shabelle region, killing the peacekeepers from Burundi and wounding several other soldiers.
"This attack on AMISOM peacekeepers is part of the continuous effort to subvert Somalia," AU envoy to Somalia Maman Sidikou said in a statement. "It is an attempt at disrupting the growth that is evident across all regions, by the enemies of the Somali people."
The governor of the Lower Shabelle region, Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur "Siidi," told VOA Somali that at least 11 al-Shabab militants were killed during an exchange of heavy fire.
Sunday's attack followed an al-Shabab ambush Saturday on a Kenyan convoy that killed three soldiers and wounded eight others.
A Kenyan military official told reporters the convoy was attacked in the Delbio area of Lower Jubba region while on a route patrol.
Al-Shabab is attempting to overthrow the Somali government and establish an Islamic state.
Earlier this month, al-Shabab staged an attack on Kenya's Garissa University College, killing 148 people. Al-Shabab said that attack was revenge for Kenyan military action in neighboring Somalia.
Somalia's government has placed bounties on the heads of 11 al-Shabab leaders, including the militant group's top leader and the alleged mastermind of the massacre in Kenya, Mohamed Mohamud, also known as Dulyadin.

Typical Day at Hospital Ambulatory Surgery
Hello AllNurses Family!
I have an opportunity to interview for two different jobs at the same hospital. Please note that I am a fairly new graduate. The jobs they are considering me for are ambulatory surgery and endoscopy. What is the typical day like for a RN in ambulatory surgery at a hospital? Would it be difficult for a new grad to transition?
Thanks for all you responses, and I hope everyone is well.
About umslalum
Joined: Sep '08; Posts: 32; Likes: 9
BSN-RN; from USMar 1, '14I worked as a new grad in an ambulatory surgery center. Truthfully I think the only way I picked it up so quickly was because I also worked there as a PCT before graduating. The daily pace can vary a lot! Some days there is down time and other days you are running your behind off. Priority setting and efficiency are key to caring for your patients safely and discharging swiftly when the patient is ready. Common situation: patient #1 has an 8/10 pain and a BP of 180-110s, patient #2's assessment is now 15 minutes late with no tech in site to grab a set of vitals, patient #3 is crazy anxious to leave after being there 10 minutes because they want a cigarette so badly...meanwhile they're still on 3 L of O2.
Granted not every moment of every day is like this. You may still get to go home 2 hours early because you ran for 3 hours then poof where did all the patients go? I do believe it would be difficult for a new grad to transition to ambulatory surgery with no prior experience, but not impossible if you feel your priority-setting skills and efficiency are up to par. Good luck!Mar 1, '14They are both great jobs. Our hospital ambulatory surgery center and endoscopy center was combined into one unit. I had been a nurse for 20 years before ambulatory nursing, however I had been in administration for 5 years so was really nervous about what skills I had lost.
Honestly it is really pretty easy. The patient has been seen by his primary MD, his surgeon or gastroenterologist, and gets assessed by the anesthesiologist. So they do not even enter the ambulatory surgery center if these doctors think they are not basically healthy enough to not need to be admitted to a hospital. So you are taking care of healthy patients for relatively minor procedures.
It can be very fast paced, the center makes it money by doing a lot of procedures every day.
Paperwork and speed can take priority over patient assessments. Of course they must be assessed but remember they have already been deemed healthy. You will be doing very limited patient assessments.
In surgery the unconscious patient is giving up all their care to us. You must be their protector, are they signing the correct consent for the correct body part. When did they eat, are the allergic,.......the OR or pre-op check list is critical. Once the patient is unconscious it is too late to discover that they did eat, or are allergic to such and such.
You may need to start IV's, but in some places anesthesiologists do this.
There is tons more to know, consider. Look over PACU nursing for some ideas about PACU nursing. But realize SOME of the PACU responses are referring to acute care major surgery PACU nursing. What they say may not apply at all to ambulatory PACU nursing.
You will probably need ACLS.Sep 19, '14Hey umslalum! I'm a new grad as well, and I accepted an offer to start in the ambulatory surgery unit within a local hospital.
I wasn't sure about it myself to be honest. I'm thinking of future opportunities in case this program ends after a year and there's no permanent full-time position available. I applied through this program for a med-surg position, and I was told this unit is med-surg level too. After some Googling, I found an orientation packet for junior fellows for the same hospital, and the unit was mentioned! It gave me a tiny bit of an idea of what the RN would do in this setting, but I'm still nervous about it.
I've heard and read a lot of good stuff about the experience you can get, but I'm also concerned that it would be too fast for me to properly learn as a newbie. For my unit, it sounds like I'll be able to practice my skills with IVs, medications, EKGs, labs, etc. I'll also be able to work both pre-op and post-op (after PACU stabilizes the patient) from what I've read. I do have years of non-RN experience in a SNF, so I'm counting on the flexibility I gained in that position, and applying it to this position. Since I have no nursing experience, I imagine it would be a struggle to keep up and know right off the bat what important things to look for with each case... Like kngl said, I worry the experience would be too much for a new grad. The person who interviewed me really stressed that it was fast paced, and one of my interview questions asked about how to deal with angry patients too. I've read here that usually more experienced nurses will move into these positions? I'm told the unit I'll be on sees both inpatient (requiring hospital admission) and outpatient (same-day surgeries), so I'm hoping this will count for acute experience as well... I've read other nurses say it won't count, and others saying it will. Crossing my fingers that it will so I'll have options, just in case.
I'm just as uncertain about the opportunity as well, but we should remember that this is exactly that! It's an opportunity. I intend to keep my skills and knowledge base up as much as possible while in this program so I can either stay or move on after the year is up. I'm really hoping that I'm a good fit though, and that I can stay beyond that year. Good luck with your interviews!

Below is a little true/false quiz to help you assess how knowledgeable you are about Buddhism. Mark each statement as true or false.
True/False Quiz
- The Dalai Lama publicly encourages Westerners to convert to Buddhism.
- There are no serious precautions one should take before practicing Buddhist meditation.
- The Buddha believed that there are many ways to become enlightened.
- No nation with a government headed by Buddhists has ever initiated a war with another country.
- His Holiness the Dalai Lama has attained enlightenment. He is confident that he will not reincarnate.
- Buddhist nuns are subject to about the same number of monastic laws as monks are.
- Buddhist beliefs are highly compatible with science.
All seven of the above statements are false, or at least are seriously in question. Let's look at each one in turn.
The Dalai Lama publicly encourages Westerners to convert to Buddhism. He has been quoted as saying, "In the West, I do not think it advisable to follow Buddhism. Changing religions is not like changing professions. Excitement lessens over the years, and soon you are not excited, and then where are you? Homeless inside yourself."[1] How could that be? Don't forget, another top objective of the Dalai Lama is the liberation of Tibet. Portraying Buddhism in the most positive light possible increases support for that cause. Regarding new converts in the West, he is all too aware of numerous difficulties with many of them (see discussion of the next statement).
There are no serious precautions one should consider before practicing Buddhist meditation. The Dalai Lama has been cited as saying, "Westerners who proceed too quickly to deep meditation should learn more about Eastern traditions and get better training than they usually do. Otherwise, certain physical or mental difficulties appear."[2] Dr. Lorin Roche has noted the following hazards of engaging in intense prolonged meditation: 1) depression, 2) a feeling of being lost, 3) trouble adapting to life in the city, 4) weird health problems, 5) bipolar disorders, 6) panic attacks and 7) psychosis.[3] Why? Renunciation is much harder for Westerners, who have so much, than it is for Asians, who often have comparatively little to give up. Secondly, meditation involving emptying your mind may make room for various odd things to enter.
The Buddha believed that there are many ways to become enlightened. In three successive proverbs, the Buddha said, "The best of ways is the eightfold; the best of truths the four words; the best of virtues passionlessness; the best of men he who has eyes to see. This is the way, there is no other that leads to the purifying of intelligence. Go on this way! Everything else is the deceit of Mara (the tempter). If you go on this way, you will make an end of pain! The way was preached by me, when I had understood the removal of the thorns (in the flesh)."[4]
No nation with a government headed by Buddhists has ever initiated a war with another country. A clear counterexample is Burma (Myanmar), whose population is very predominantly Buddhist. Burma's history has been characterized by frequent, lengthy warfare or oppression, both internally and with surrounding nations, from the Pagan Empire (AD 1044-1287) until our present time.[5]
His Holiness the Dalai Lama has attained enlightenment. He is confident that he will not reincarnate. The Dalai Lama has been practicing techniques to greatly hasten progress toward enlightenment, and yet he is quite uncertain what his fate will be after he dies. "The rehearsal of the processes of death, and those of the intermediate state, and the emergence into a future existence," he wrote, "lies at the very heart of the path in Highest Yoga Tantra. These practices are part of my daily practice also and because of this I somehow feel a sense of excitement when I think about the experience of death. At the same time, though, sometimes I do wonder whether or not I will really be able to fully utilize my own preparatory practices when the actual moment of death comes!"[6]
If the Dalai Lama is uncertain about what his next life will be, he is not enlightened, for the enlightened Buddhist is supposed to know that he will enter nirvana when he dies and that he will not reincarnate as another sentient being. Furthermore, the Dalai Lama's words highlight his uncertainty, even though he describes the state of enlightenment as including: (1) omniscience, with "full comprehension of all that can be known," and (2) victory, since "you have overcome all problems and have achieved realization of all knowables."[7]
Buddhist nuns are subject to about the same number of monastic laws as monks are. Buddhist nuns have 311 vows to take, in contrast to the 227 for monks.[8] Buddha's view of women was, to put it bluntly, archaic. For example, one of his proverbs was, "So long as the love of man towards women, even the smallest, is not destroyed, so long is his mind in bondage, as the calf that drinks milk is to its mother."[9]
Buddhist beliefs are highly compatible with science. Buddhists believe, as do Hindus, that the universe has always existed. It was never created. This conflicts with the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe.[10]
Closing Thoughts
How did you do? If you are like most Americans, your knowledge of Buddhism may have been affected by media coverage colored by sympathy for the plight of Tibet and the Dalai Lama. While such sympathy is very well founded, it can affect objectivity.

You can always count on a ton of Halloween content to be swirling around this time of year, and the tent-pole opportunities during this holiday might be the best of all tent-pole opportunities in an given year. The entertainment value provided by the spooky, the scary, the demented can play every Halloween. I've rounded up some Halloween videos today: some are how-to, some are inspired by the holiday, some are just downright scary, and some will make you laugh. So let's get to it and get our imaginations turning to the dark side with these Halloween videos.
Darkness Descends Upon These Videos
Halloween How-To
First off, you should really know how to get some of these Halloween looks in your videos. Last year, Vimeo provided this awesome how-to for turning your subject into a ghost, or applying zombie makeup, or using squibs for someone getting riddled with bullets! I'm way too excited about this!
This year, they made a "Scary Special Effects Part Boo," where they demonstrate how to do the demon voice, have your evil mirror image do something different from what you do, and how to apply the demon eyes to any lost soul:
Brian from ROBOTHAND! tells us how to create a spooky scene using miniatures for around $50:
But do you think that we could get through a how-to without mentioning Film Riot? Of course they have some Halloween fun in store, calling it "Bloodtober." Here's their blood effects:
But maybe you want to get that ethereal, cloudy, "darkness reigns" kind of look on your video. Film Riot shows you how it's done:
Finally, Film Riot shows us how to wield lawn mowers and axes to mess up people's heads and faces:
Halloween Stunts & Tricks & Scares
This isn't really Halloween, but it's certainly Halloween inspired, and beautiful: skiing in the dark from Salomon Freeski TV:
OK, this guy has really lost his head (but not really):
The Scary Snowman is really funny:
Here's a beautiful, well-made Halloween poem/special effects video from Miguel Ortega called "The Green Ruby Pumpkin:"
Rad Brad's gameplay walkthroughs of scary flash games House 2 and Cellar Door are funny and scary (and contain rampant bad language). Here's House 2 (part 1):
And Part 2 of his walkthrough:
And here's Cellar Door:
He has a long playlist of scary indie games here.
I read Cracked's "6 Most Eerily Convincing Ghost Videos" article, which you definitely should read when you get a chance. They've culled some very creepy videos. But they saved the best one for last (from ChesterTyler714):
Halloween Music
Lindsey Stirling plays a mean fiddle while prancing about in a graveyard in this Michael Jackson "Thriller"-inspired video:
Edward's Landing Lights has his house lit up with Halloween lights and grooving to PSY's "Gangnam Style:"
Halloween Art
From none other than Mary Doodles:
Headless Horseman:
Space Zombie:
Doddles has always made awesome stuff for Halloween. You should check out this playlist.

Finding the Range
Confused about the range of a data set? In this case, it doesn't have anything to do with stocks or distance! The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set. This worksheet gives your second grader practice finding the largest and smallest values of these sets of data, and then setting up subtraction problems to determine the ranges.

Watch: Students at the University of Florida chant the theme of Chabad of Gainesville with Rabbi Berl Goldman for their giving challenge.
The Tabacinic Lubavitch-Chabad Jewish Student and Community Center, a home away from home for students, is raising $300,000 in 38 hours.
The Chabad Center, directed by Rabbi Berl and Chanie Goldman, together with Rabbi Aaron and Pessie Notik is now in their 18th year of serving students on campus.
Recently, the Chabad Center was overwhelmed by requests for assistance following the hurricanes in Florida.
A recent visit by Richard Spencer's hate group caused unrest at the campus. The Chabad Student Center launched a good deed marathon in response.
"It was very successful and a major Kiddush Hashem and the President of the University of Florida, Kent Fuchs was with us for over two hours on campus encouraging everyone to participate and he did as well," Rabbi Goldman said.
They were also forced to hire a security company to be on site at the Center from Wednesday morning until after Shabbos, giving students and everyone attending a visible sense of safety and security.
A 38 hour campaign is underway to raise $300,000 in support of Chabad at U of F programs.
Thanks to a generous group of matchers, your donation for 38 HOURS ONLY will be double matched.
VIDEO: "It's Great To Be a Jewish Gator"
Your donations will help nurture and grow Jewish Life & Learning at the University of Florida and SF College, supporting the spiritual, educational and social needs of the students, faculty and community.
Please Partner & Support Jewish Life & Learning on Campus and in the Community. Your help will guarantee the success of the campaign and reach our goal, over the TOP!

S.F. purveyor of luxuries accused of fraud
(01-23) 16:34 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A San Francisco man who ran a luxury watch business on the Internet, taking orders for Rolexes and Cartiers as far away as France, was arrested Thursday for allegedly bilking his customers out of tens of thousands of dollars.
Authorities say Roger Kuo, 44, ran the websites thefinestwatches.com and thefinestjewelry.com, where he advertised watches and jewelry that were plenty fine but didn't deliver on orders.
Four customers wired Kuo money for watches, ranging in price from $16,000 to $34,000, and he never sent them, said District Attorney George Gascón. In one case, Kuo agreed to sell a $35,000 diamond ring on consignment but never paid the owner after the sale, the district attorney's office says.
The alleged transactions took place between 2010 and 2012. Kuo also operated under the trade names The Jewelry Vault and Soo Trading Company, all with San Francisco addresses, prosecutors said.
He was taken into custody by district attorney's office investigators without incident Thursday at his Post Street office. He has been charged with five counts of felony grand theft. His bail was set at $125,000.

Mapping Cultural Infrastructure in Latino USA, seeks to identify circuits of opportunity for Hispanic/Latino, Latin American, Caribbean, and Ibero-American cultural offerings in the United States..
The objective is to chart the ways in which these offerings can find ways of entering the mainstream broadcast channels and the most successful alternative media venues. In a first stage, the Observatory is mapping spaces, organizations, networks, cultural broadcasters, populations, audiences, and consumers in 5 or 6 areas of dominant influence (ADI) and corridors where Latino/Hispanic/Latin American and Caribbean populations are concentrated. These spaces also serve as gateways not only for migrants but for cultural initiatives from Latin America and Spain. We focus on circuits and networks in which cultural administrators and initiatives such as Susana Tubert and her project TeatroStageFest participate and that offer opportunities for managers and initiatives pertaining Americans as Susana Tubert and StageFest, and many others that are not yet identifies and and are scattered far and wide in areas of dominant influence (ADI) or Designate Market Areas (DMA).
The Latino / Hispanic population is concentrated in ADI/DMA, which straddle not only more than one city, but in some cases extend to other states. Examples are South Florida (Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach), which as of the 2010 census is the 8th largest metropolitan area, and the New York Metropolitan Area (New York, northern New Jersey, southern Connecticut, and western Long Island), which is the largest metropolitan area.
This initiative will also compile the Latino and Latin American offerings through such distribution channels as Netflix and Amazon, indicating where there are opportunities for expansion of circulation and distribution.
Another feature of this mapping project is to identify how cultural infrastructure is used and consumed in public, private and nonprofit venues.
Moreover, Observatory researchers have the know-how and tools to cross both the intra-ethnic (among diverse Latino groups) and crossover offerings (which will become increasingly important because the English-speaking and U.S.-born Latino population outpaces other Latino demographics).
The project
- Maps beyond the secondary information provided by the state or government
- Creates indexes and develops added value from the perspective of culture and development
- Identifies transnational networks facilitated by technological innovation and communication
- Displays cultural infrastructure information dynamically in relation to circuits of opportunity
- Includes new information on the 2010 census
This mapping project presents information in its "demographic context," according to "ethno-linguistic diversity" (complemented by ethno-regional diversity), and the perspectives provided by Latino / Hispanic ADIs/DMAs. It includes complete consumer data, such as household cultural appliances (radio, TVs, video palyers/recorders, camcorders, computers, Internet connection, etc.).
