The Northgate Gonzales Market on the 10000 block of South Prairie Avenue still has some work to do before it opens to the public. Nonetheless, the first lady promoted the market's progress so far in offering healthy and affordable food options to a community that otherwise wouldn't have access to much.
"Thousands, thousands of families will be able to buy fresh fruit right in their own community, and it sounds like a very simple thing, but there are too many communities that don't have this kind of privilege, and I'm here today because I believe that every family in our country should have access to healthy food," she said, in front of a backdrop of colorful fruits and vegetables.
After arriving in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Mrs. Obama made her first appearance on the "Tonight Show," where she cajoled Jay Leno into nibbling on apples, sweet potato fries and a pizza made with eggplant, green peppers and zucchini, breaking his long-held aversion for all-things-healthy in his diet.
Leno once told a magazine he hadn't eaten a vegetable since the 60s, and he said he tasted his last apple in the mid-80s. That didn't dissuade the first lady, who's promoting her "Let's Move!" campaign to get kids excited about fitness and healthy eating habits.
She convinced Leno to dip an apple in honey made from beehives in the White House garden: "It will help it go down easier," she assured him.
"White House honey? That sounds bad," Leno joked. "You know, with a different president that could mean a whole different thing, 'a little White House honey."'
Last July, the first lady announced nationwide commitments to open or expand stores in areas with limited access to healthy food, like Inglewood.
Money for the Northgate Gonzales Market comes from the California Fresh Works Fund, a public-private partnership which has committed upwards of $20 million in financing to Northgate for its first three projects - one in Inglewood, and others in City Heights and South Los Angeles.
In addition to promoting her initiative during her Southern California swing, the first lady is also attending two events to help Democrats raise money for the upcoming elections.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Christmas Crunch!
I'm so behind the eight ball this year! I usually have all my Christmas presents bought/made and wrapped by this time. So far, I only have ONE GIFT! I made this for my dh's grandmother. I plan on giving it to her before Christmas so she can actually use them on her gifts.

The photo shoot
I had my second photography gig today. The first was my sister's wedding; today was my sister's Christmas card pictures. I need all the practice I can get because I learn a little more each time. I took over 100 pictures today, here are just a few:

My first Design Team projects
The September DT projects are up at CreativeXpress, so I can officially show them off now. My first month was quite hectic since I had to learn the Expression machine AND learn Design Studio for my assignment. Next month should be a lot less stressful.
For these projects, I had to use Basic Grey Granola papers, and the layout had to use the new Cricut Blackletter cartridge:

Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G is a good wireless network access point, it rather stable and have a relatively wide range.
Many people don't know how to configure it, and if you don't, you should expect strangers to be sharing your local network, checking out your family album, and spamming the universe through you Internet connection.
Enough with the dark thoughts, here is how you can access your Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G and setup its security.
First if you are still not connected through Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G, power it up, give your self a 192.168.1.xx IP, if you don't know how. open your control panel and follow the picture.
note that in the picture the IP is 192.168.1.11 you can change 11 to anything between 1,244
OK, now press apply, OK , yes, confirm , alright, yeah…. on all open windows.
Now you should be able connect through your Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G.
Just refresh your wireless networks connection and select Linksys.
Now open a browser window and type the following in the address bar
You will be asked for a username and a password.
The default username for the Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G is blank (empty, nothing, nada)
The default Password for the Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G is admin
Now you should see the following window:
Now we need to maybe change the static IP to dynamic IP DHCP and save.
Now press Wireless in the top bar. and change the Network Name(SSID) to anything, for example homeinterent, if you dont do this any hacker or leecher will know what kind of access point you have and that will give him a very good advantage to successfully login to your network.
Hit save.
Now press security.
As you can see the Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G has many security protocols. keep in mind that the more complicated encryption you use, the slower your network will be.
If you feel safe and your neighbour's kids don't look like hardcore hackers you can use WPA-personal.
Keep the encryption at TKIP and set the Passphrase: to any 16 letter word for example:
Don't use the example, be creative dammit 🙂
hit save.
Now click Administration.
Change the default password (it was admin, remember). and hit save.
Now when windows tries to connect to this network it will ask for the password, enter it, save it, and that's about it.
Note that it would be much safer to use MAC filtering, but lets keep that for later.
You can always comment if you feel like it 🙂

Thank you for your article (Aug. 27), "Frustaci Doctor Defends the Use of Fertility Drug." I would also like to thank Dr. Martin Feldman for defending the use of Pergonal and for sharing his thoughts and precious feeling for the Frustaci family.
As I have been an infertility patient for the past 10 years, Dr. Feldman's sentiments brought comfort and joy to me.
I hope someday if I am blessed with a pregnancy that I will be able to find a physician as sensitive and as courageous as Dr. Feldman appears to be.

I,M,D&D, Glasgow
- Wonderful cottage, superbly appointed, beautiful location – what more can we say! Lovely welcome – we had a great time and we'll be back.
E&B, Germany
- A wonderful home away from home! We loved the house, in particular, the spacious kitchen with views in two directions. Three weeks gave us enough time tp explore almost every corner of Lewis and Harris. Point proved to be a very convenient spot at with all there is to see at almost the same distance. Weather in the first week permitted sitting outside on the bench enjoying the evening and the morning sun. We felt like in the Caribbean! Later it turned into more "Nice day, soft rain!" We felt very welcome wherever we went and are going home grateful!!
C&D, Edinburgh
We have just savoured a week at this lovely croft. Contemporary and comfortable; lovely welcoming touches; the picture window is a joy. Lewis offers so much history and austere, lunar beauty. The beaches of Harris were unique and St Kilda last Monday was unforgettable! E, Edinburgh. Staying at the same time, we too had a wonderful break and loved the house and views. Our delights, as well as St Kilda, were the beaches of Harris and the east-side coastal route south on a beautiful day; Arnol and Gearranan on a wet day, Calanais and Carloway of course and unforgettable Uig. Still so much we missed – we will be back!
T&C, Rutherglen
We had a wonderful week in 6 Upper Garrabost. The pictures online don't do it justice – we found it to be clean, modern and spacious. It was a great base for us to explore The Black Houses, Callanish, Port of Ness, Uig Beach and Luskentyre Beach – the latter being one of the most stunning we have ever seen. The provision of tea, coffee, and milk was most appreciated – I liked enjoying my tea whilst taking in the beautiful view from the kitchen window! My parents came up to join us for a few days and they were as impressed as us. We will definitely recommend it to our families and friends. Thank you for your hospitality!
L&F, Germany
This was our first visit to the Isle of Lewis. In our three week tour of Scotland, this has been the week we stayed in one place and we loved it. We immediately felt at home. The cottage is a great base for exploring Lewis and Harris and time passed too quickly. We visited Great Bernera, the Callanish Stones, took part in a guided tour of North Harris (a walk to spot eagles – very recommendable and we found it in one of the leaflets in the kitchen), spotted seals at the Butt of Lewis and just took in the breath-taking surroundings. The window in the kitchen is amazing and the cottage provides everything you need. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant. We hope to come back sometime …
B&E, Australia
- Thank you! We loved the house and we loved the Hebrides. The maps were very useful and the Broadband Wi-Fi meant we could Skype the family in Australia – a happy week.
H,D,F&MA, The Netherlands
- We had a very nice stay in your lovely cottage. The kitchen is our favourite spot and what a nice view! Thank you for all the maps and other information and booklets about Lewis and Point. We had a good time exploring the Peninsula and the info came in quite handy. The flowers and cookies were a warm welcome – many thanks!
G&D, Gwent
This is our second visit to this lovely croft and found it equally as charming as the first. Well appointed, well furnished and so peaceful. We hope to be able to return.
K Family, Edinburgh
The cottage is lovely, very modern, clean and situated in lots of ground. Views from the kitchen are great – could sit and watch all day. The cottage is very welcoming, as were its owners, warm and cosy with a nice touch with the welcome flowers, biscuits, and coffee. Would recommend a visit to the newly opened shop and cafe nearby (in old school building) – we hope this is a great success for the local community. It is very well stocked and reasonably priced. Coffee and cake make a lovely treat. With its modern facilities, we would definitely look to come back to the cottage in the future. We all had a great holiday.
A&BW, Fife
- This was our first stay on Lewis and we've thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We couldn't have asked for better weather – lovely warm sunshine almost everyday. We love the cottage, especially the wonderfully comfortable beds and the kitchen with the fabulous view. Our two girls, aged 10 and 6, made friends with some neighbouring children and loved running about in the garden. We visited Ness at the beginning of the week and had an amazing encounter with a basking shark, which we watched swimming about 50m offshore for about 30mins – definitely a highlight! Your beaches are truly stunning and the island history is fascinating. We'll definitely be back! Thanks again.
J,C&A, Cambs
- Thank you for a lovely, comfortable and well-appointed holiday home. We are enjoying staying here very much. We had some glorious weather and enjoyed trips to Luskentyre, Europie, Callanish, Bernera and Tolsta. Lovely dinners in Digby Chicks – early bird and at An Lanntair. Good lunches in the Library Cafe in Stornoway and cake at Morven Gallery. Thank you!
J&J, Hertfordshire
- Last year's visit was too short but we didn't expect to return so quickly! There is only one place we would stay – here. So comfortable, a home from home. Sad to be leaving, but all good things come to an end. I am sure this isn't going to be our last visit. Thank you for the flowers and biscuits. The only way is south for us now!
G&R, Cambridge
Thank you for the lovely flowers and biscuits. We had a cosy time here, more or less living in the kitchen because we couldn't get enough of the view and the very cute antics of the sheep and lambs of course! The weather was not great, but when it's windy the sea is amazing to watch. We enjoyed an excellent guided walk with Mick Blunt of 'Hidden Hebrides' on one wet, foggy day in Lewis – he took us to Harris where the weather was hugely better and we trekked along the coffin path from east to west coast, as described in your '25 Walks: the Western Isles' book. The beaches at Luskentrye and Seilebost are extraordinary – even by Hebridean standards and well worth the trip. For wildflowers and quiet coastal wilderness we loved Tolsta with its flower-strewn sand dunes, enormous beach and attractive, winding path across the Bridge to Nowhere, at the end of the road. The new(ish) shop and cafe a couple of miles down the road towards Stornoway is very handy and is open from 8am-8pm (cafe until 4.30pm).
S&S, Glasgow
- Fantastic accommodation – everything you need. We enjoyed the quietness of the area and of the whole island – it has been such a relaxing time and the poor weather at the start of the week did not dampen our spirits or keep us indoors. We have enjoyed seeing the weather change from one part of the island to the other as we did on our drive back along the "golden road" on Monday. Wishing we could stay longer; however, the joy is that we can return as the saying goes "in a heartbeat". Thank you for your welcome tray and lovely flowers.
J&J, Hertfordshire
- Spent a lovely week in this excellent cottage. Fantastic views and so many places to explore. The weather wasn't great, but at least we had somewhere nice, warm and comfortable to return to. Hope we are as lucky next week in Harris. Thank you for the flowers and biscuits (very naughty, but nice!). If we ever come this way again, would certainly like to stay here – it ticked all the boxes!
Guest Reviews
- Wow! Thank you very much, we've had a fantastic week. Everything was amazing – the house, the view, the island and the people! Thanks a lot, hope to come and stay again very soon, R&ST, Lake District
- Another splendid week in this lovely cottage; excellent facilities and very comfortable. The weather has been great with the exception of one windy day when we had to chase the washing round the garden! We are going to miss the tranquility when we return to the city. Hope to see you next year, P&KMD, Aberdeen
- We have had a wonderful stay on Lewis. The cottage is very stylish, relaxing and comfortable – surpassing our expectations. It has also been a great base for many day trips – Tolsta Beach (lovely), Butt of Lewis, Bernera (iron age house – fantastic), the blackhouses and the dramatic, very scenic Harris – we particularly enjoyed Scalpay in the sunshine. Thank you so much for the welcome tray and flowers that still looked lovely as we were leaving. Thanks also for being on hand, we're going to miss this scenery! R&PA, Manchester
- Despite the mixed weather we have really enjoyed our stay in Garrabost. No 6 is very comfortable and quiet – ideally situated to explore Lewis and Harrris. Apart from the Cuillins, we thought Harris better than Skye. We really hope to return. J&DG, Ross-shire
- Our stay here in Lewis was well worth the 2.5 days it took us to get here from Devon. We've been pretty lucky with the weather on the whole – only getting caught in one storm. We've travelled some miles visiting Tolsta and walking some of the Heritage Trail along the coast (and seeing Golden Eagle for the first time); the Butt of Lewis; Huisinis; Traigh Uige and a walk into the mountains (a long slog along a new track, but worth it for the views and seeing Golden Eagle again). The cottage has been a joy to stay in. As many have said before, the warm welcome from Liz and Brian was a nice touch along with tea, biscuits and flowers! I could have spent the whole week sitting at the picture window – but glad we made it out and about. Not lucky enough the hear the corncrake or see otters, but there's always next time. Many thanks Liz and Brian. C&M, Devon
- We had a wonderful, relaxing and peaceful stay. The cottage is very cosy, particularly with the real fire. The views are amazing, especially from the kitchen window. I even braved the elements in November to sit with a steaming hot cup of tea in the back garden – just to admire the view and take in the elements! Thank you very much for the yellow roses and welcome tray. We appreciated a nice warm drink after a rocky ferry ride. We managed to see a lot during our stay, but the highlight for us was the beautiful beach at Tolsta – stunning! And we had the beach all to ourselves that day! We would definitely recommend No 6 to others, many thanks. C&G, Nairnshire
- We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful cottage. Lovely peaceful time, visiting friends and fishing as well as just relaxiing. The flowers and welcome tray were well appreciated and the cottage has spectacular views over the bay. Would definitely recommend the cottage and area to others. A&B, Elgin
- We had a wonderful relaxing holiday in this beautiful cottage. The spectacular views from the picture window kept us mesmerised. The island is so rich in history that it's beem impossible to see everything in a week. Our favourite visits were to the magical Callanish Stones, the white sand beach and iron house at Bosta on Bernera, the beaches on the west coast of Harris and of course, the lighthouse at Point. We've never seen so many vintage tractors – the whole island has a great selection! The East Coast of Harris with its moon-like landscape was a great choice for filming Space Odyssey 2001, but the road there is definitely not for faint-hearted drivers! Many thanks to Liz and Brian for the welcome tray and lovely flowers – it's been a pleasure staying here. N&MC, Fife
- Wonderful cottage, beautiful views, all kinds of weather, but a lovely stay. The best bit of all was my cute, little nephew of 8 weeks! We will come again from Finland, thank you for a lovely stay! A Family, Finland
- We have had a wonderful and relaxing break here. The cottage is definitely 4* plus and the flowers, shortbread and milk were very much appreciated. We would come again and recommend it to friends and family. Lewis and Harris have a lot to offer. The views and walks from the cottage are wonderful. Tea and cakes and the Uig Community Hall and Museum are not to be missed – fantastic cakes and very good value for money! Thanks for a lovely stay. I&ST, Aberdeenshire
- What a contrast Lewis has proved to be after our week in North Uist. We have explored all we could in the time we had and found the Standing Stones, Broch, Blackhouse Village, Iron Age house etc. – all most interesting, but what beaches we have seen – we even risked a few paddles! We explored Bernera and Uig – fantastic beaches and scenery. A visit to Uig Community Hall and Museum is a must – baking out of this world and most informative; then back to No 6 after each busy day to enjoy the delights of this very comfortable cottage with such a view over the bay. Folders very informative and helpful as were the maps. J&WP, Glasgow
- We have had a wonderful holiday in this lovely cottage. We enjoyed the peaceful setting and the views from the kitchen window are amazing. Love the artwork and soft furnishings – very tastefully chosen! Weather has been better than expected and no midges! We have explored the whole island and loved every minute. Thank you for the welcome biscuits, milk etc. and the warm welcome – just wish we could stay a bit longer! J&MMD, Leicester
- A beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting! Fantastic weather apart from the wild winds, hold onto your hat! Some great highlights over the week – the Europie cafe at the top of Lewis as well as the beach there; the island of Great Bernera and the beautiful beaches at Bosta; Ravenspoint Visitor Centre and the Hebridean Soap Company are well worth a visit as are Callanish Stones and the Broch at Carloway. The more adventurous driver may want to tackle the B887 road to Hushinish – well worth the journey, but don't lunch before it! Forgot to mention the wee pottery at Borve and Eilean Oir Jewellery, which is on the main road heading towards Harris, it is sign posted. There is plenty to discover outwith the usual places – these are just a few. D&KMI, Glasgow
- Our first visit to Lewis.; we appreciated the glorious weather and the warm welcome from all we met. The cottage is perfect. Particular highlights of the week have been the beautiful beaches, the historical sites, Kirkibost pier and the early bird menus in Stornoway. G&PA, East Yorks

CHA was amazing! We had the best time walking around the show floor, looking at the new product, meeting the designers, doing the make-n-takes, etc, etc. The hardest part of the three days was trying to narrow down what we were going to order for the store. So many new wonderful lines and OH! the embellishments and tools. We would have to get a bigger store to bring it all in.
Lots of new items will start arriving in a week, and then more will be released over the next couple of months. Be sure to watch our Facebook page and blogspot for updates. We ordered from Prima, Bo Bunny, Ranger, Simple Stories, Marion Smith, Sizzix, Spellbinders, Kuretake, Cosmo Cricket, Queen and Co. just to name a few. It's a long list.
So as we wait for the UPS truck we will fill the calendar with new classes and design some great layouts and kits.
Happy Creating.
See you soon
Andrea and Yvonne

Telling Stories/
Chances are that if your reading this blog you will have come across Penguin's grands projets, We Tell Stories. In case you haven't (where have you been?) its six digital stories and an ARG from Penguin UK and Six to Start, a funky start up that builds cool games. Enough has been said, for and against, in terms of content and conception but this piece on blog powerhouse Gawker got me thinking. Its hard to know exactly what Penguin's criterion of success in this project is- it must have cost a bomb and has no obvious revenue stream. As for traffic figures, I haven't clue. In terms of coverage I think it can definitely be considered a success and has been featured in Newsweek, USA Today and Wired amongst others despite the ARG being a UK only affair. If nothing else it has introduced many people to a new way of storytelling and pioneered digital fiction in mainstream publishing.
Gawker don't seem to like this. In the louche style characteristic of the site(s) they ask: "There's got to be a better way for publishers to get people to read more books... using actual books. Um, right?" Um, no. Because I don't think Penguin were trying to get people to read more books.
Jeremy Ettinghausen, the man behind the project and new found web celebrity, has specifically stated that the project is not about print, in fact quite the reverse, saying to Newsweek "[ebooks] are pretty much the same thing as the print book but delivered in a different way. We thought we'd try something a little more ambitious and actually develop stories designed for the Internet, not adapted to it." Rather than being about books this is specifically about moving away from them.
Fair enough. As the name suggests this is part of a view that sees publishers not just as creators of books but as curators of stories. Had this attitude been more prevalent over the past few hundred years no doubt that the media landscape would look very different today. Opportunities missed from film to gaming might have been taken and a more integrated approach to narrative entertainment prevailed.
When Gawker say "[they] have a new project to tell the stories of books online — using new media, get it? " it's the sneer of a new media company suddenly fearful that its very cutting edge newness is getting eroded by so called old media companies keen to redefine exactly what that means. Gawker suggest that they read books to get away from the internet- something I can sympathise with- but publishers are still well poised to make entertaining interventions on the web, using capacities built up from the book world to find new species of storytelling.
Publishing, in some areas at least, has been hit hard by the web. Take maps. Why buy a map when Google Maps is free? And better? The 21 Steps was an inventive use of Google Maps that in some small way marked a kind of reclamation of the space. Ok, it might not do anything in itself, but it points to a future where publishers can more than just co-exist with the web, aloof new media neighbors or no. For me that has to be a good thing.
Meanwhile you can watch the ARG evolve on the unfiction boards- as good as playing for those with no time, I tell myself.

French Day at Amity
A large-scale project organised on the premises of an Indian university conceived in the festive spirit worthy of our Grandes Ecoles of Commerce, "French Day" is planned as an original showcase for French higher education, will bring together at least twenty Grandes Ecoles. Twenty major names from the sphere of higher education proposing plans for an academic career in scientific and commercial fields as well as all that concerns the world of international affairs, the hospitality industry, or even fashion.
The "French Day" is, naturally, also intended as a pleasant introduction to our country, the presentation of a cultural world with diverse facets, an invitation to better know the blue white red house, a greeting of welcome to all those who dream of a future made in France. Thus there will be several attractive events: the afternoon will be interspersed with tombola, quiz, exhibition as well as conferences, debates and a film screening, culminating in a fête.
A French DJ will juggle discs to get the crowds dancing to the latest numbers. Over 4 000 students are to be attending the "French Day".
Note: It's a PRIVATE EVENT, entry reserved only for "Amity Students".

Nokia's current-generation of Windows Phone 8 devices have all been given tasty performance and stability updates.
The new download fixes WP8-related auto-brightness issues, which should make for a less drastic brightness shift like the one you see in the Lumia 920.
Not that Windows Phone 8 wasn't snappy enough on the likes of the 920 and its younger brothers, but Nokia promises the download should speed up the phones as well.
READ: Nokia Lumia 620 review
For those who want specifics, the 920 and 820 update is called 1232.5957.1308.00xx. The Lumia 620's update - still to be made available - is called the 1030.6407.1308.00xx, and promises improved touch behaviour and fixes to camera performance, including exposure and flash.
Nokia says it is delivering the updates as we speak and has posted a handy support page which will help you download them.

SOURCE: Unisync Corp.
January 13, 2017 14:37 ET
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - January 13, 2017) - Unisync Corp. (TSX VENTURE: UNI) ("Unisync") today reported revenues of $52.7 million for the 12 month period ended September 30, 2016, representing an increase of 18% over the last fiscal years' revenues of $44.8 million. Fourth quarter Fiscal 2016 revenues were $13.0 million versus $12.0 million for the corresponding quarter in Fiscal 2015.
Unisync operates through two business segments: Unisync Group Limited ("UGL") of Mississauga, Ontario and Peerless Garments LP ("Peerless") of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Peerless specializes in the production and distribution of highly technical protective garments, military operational clothing and accessories for a broad spectrum of Federal, Provincial and Municipal government departments and agencies. UGL is a leading customer-focused provider of corporate apparel, serving a list of leading Canadian iconic brands such as Air Canada, TELUS, Loblaws and Purolator. In 2015 UGL acquired Vancouver based Omega Uniform Systems Ltd. and Ottawa area Carleton Uniforms Inc. The combined operations of Unisync represent a vertically integrated and proudly Canadian enterprise with exceptional capabilities in garment design, domestic manufacturing and off-shore outsourcing, including state-of-the-art web based B2B ordering, distribution and program management systems.
Consolidated gross profit for fiscal 2016 declined to 15% of revenue from 16% in the prior year mainly due to the impact of the weakening in the average rate of exchange on the purchase of US$ denominated product. Cash flow from operations, before non-cash working capital items and distributions to a minority partner, was $0.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2016 down from $0.9 million in fiscal 2015. In comparison, cash flow from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.4 million versus negative $0.4 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2015.
More detailed information is contained in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016 and in its Management Discussion and Analysis dated January 13, 2017 which may be accessed at www.sedar.com.
Business Outlook
The recent stabilization of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar together with product sourcing changes are expected to enhance UGL's margins in fiscal 2017. The combination of improved margins along with an increase in projected revenues from UGL's established and recently acquired accounts, is expected to result in greater profitability for the UGL segment in fiscal 2017.
With $38 million in firm contracts and options on hand as at the end of fiscal 2016 and the award of a further $18 million contract announced last month, the Peerless segment is also expecting an increase in revenues and improved profitability in fiscal 2017.

The standards in this section are intended for 4-year-old children. It is important to remember that the skills of young children develop along a continuum, and developmentally appropriate activities can be used with younger children (Music Educators National Conference, 1994).
Singing and Playing Instruments
Young children enjoy singing and playing instruments. Four-year-olds are able to differentiate between their singing and speaking voices. They are also able to express themselves by playing instruments. The following standards identify the type of singing and instruments that are most suitable for 4-year-olds.
- Children use their voices as they speak, chant, and sing.
- Children sing a variety of simple songs in various keys, meters, and genres, alone and in groups, becoming increasingly accurate in rhythm and pitch.
- Children experiment with a variety of instruments and other sound sources.
- Children play simple melodies and accompaniments on instruments.
Creating Music
Four-year-olds are quite capable of creating sound patterns with their bodies, their voices, and instruments. They often create simple melodies while at play. They also create musical sounds to express an idea. The following standards focus on a child's ability to create music.
- Children improvise songs to accompany their play activities.
- Children improvise instrumental accompaniments to songs, recorded selections, stories, and poems.
- Children create short pieces of music, using voices, instruments, and other sound sources.
- Children invent and use original graphic or symbolic systems to represent vocal and instrumental sounds and musical ideas.
Responding to Music
Four-year-olds are able to recognize musical phrases and show an awareness of simple cadences. They can identify the speed of music (fast/slow, getting faster/slower) and can describe the volume of music in their own words. The standards listed below focus on responding to music.
- Children identify the sources of a wide variety of sounds.
- Children respond through movement to music of various tempos, meters, dynamics, modes, genres, and styles to express what they hear and feel in works of music.
- Children participate freely in music activities.
Understanding Music
Four-year-olds will listen attentively to a selected repertoire of music. They are also capable of using musical terms and concepts to express thoughts about music. They are good at practicing basic audience and performance etiquette. This last set of standards addresses understanding music.
- Children use their own vocabulary and standard music vocabulary to describe voices, instruments, music notation, and music of various genres, styles, and periods from diverse cultures.
- Children sing, play instruments, move, or verbalize to demonstrate awareness of the elements of music and changes in their usage.
- Children demonstrate an awareness of music as a part of daily life.
Selected Characteristics of Three- to Four-Year-Olds
- Like to gallop, jump, walk, or run in time to music
- Are much more fluent with language, like to talk and chatter, want adults to listen and to give their undivided attention
- Have more interest in detail and direction (for example, can usually find a favorite book or CD from a shelf upon request)
- Enjoy simple versions of imaginative, dramatic play
- Enjoy singing games and rhythm instruments (they still need to explore, experiment, and manipulate instruments)
- Are beginning to dramatize songs
- Spontaneously make up their own songs, often with repetitive words and tunes that resemble familiar ones
Consider the following when planning musical activities for a child this age:
- Encourage informal singing throughout the day.
- Continue to improvise short action songs based on what the child is doing.
- Provide plenty of opportunities for the child to dramatize songs and to "act out" song-stories.
- Provide simple props like scarves, puppets, and instruments for the child to use with musical activities.
- Continue to introduce rhythm and melody instruments to enhance musical activities.
- Provide increased opportunities for movement with music, such as performing locomotor movements (walking, running, jumping), nonlocomotor movements (swinging, pushing, bending), and clapping or tapping the beat of steady rhythm.
- Encourage children to move and dance to music using their own creative ideas.

Part 2, Chapters 11-16 Summary
Gideon was at his home when Ibrahim arrived and was shown to his office. It had been three years since they had spoken. Neither of them wants war. Gideon knows of his meeting in Damascus and that Ibrahim is under pressure to evacuate Tabah. Ibrahim wonders if they could return if they evacuated.
Gideon tells Ibrahim that Tabah is now considered to be an enemy village since some of its men are members of the Jihad Militia and many fought in the attack on Kastel. He also says that Tabah will probably be attacked if war begins. Gideon gives Ibrahim his phone number so that he will always be able to reach him, should he need to. Gideon receives a phone call summoning him to the Arab village of Deir Yassin where an Irgun attack resulted in a massacre...

The New SEO: 'Siri Engine Optimization'
How will Siri, and voice-based search in general, change how people search from their mobile devices?
How will Siri, and voice-based search in general, change how people search from their mobile devices?
Recently, Apple unleashed its new version of its mobile operating system, iOS 5. Along with the update came the integration of a new voice command-based personal assistant dubbed "Siri," which allows the user to have a "conversation" with their device for things like setting reminders, meetings, as well as sending text messages and emails transcribed from voice. In addition to acting as a personal assistant, Siri is also able to search for nearly any type of data or information leveraging various third-party sites such as Wolfram Alpha, Yelp, and Google.
Traditionally, SEO has stood for search engine optimization. However, with the introduction of Siri, it is worth considering how people are using the functionality and to begin looking at a new form of SEO: Siri engine optimization. Certainly this technology is not new, and yet with the integration with such devices beyond Android, the volume is going to get significant.
The question search marketers should be asking is "How will the integration of Siri begin to affect our strategies and optimization efforts?" Having only been out a very short time, it's tough to say for sure, but below are a few surefire strategies that you should be considering.
Local Search
Many searches conducted from a mobile device are location specific, such as looking for directions, finding nearby restaurants, or local services such as finding a plumber. With Siri, the importance becomes less about the visit to your website and more about just being visible to the end user. Whenever possible, Siri checks for data that will allow it to create a more visual experience using listings from Yelp, Google Maps, etc.
Therefore, it's critical to ensure that your business is not only listed on these third-party sites, but is fully optimized with accurate address, phone number, and images, is receiving positive reviews, and is being rated highly by as many people as possible in order to increase the likelihood that you'll show up at the top of Siri's results. How to go about increasing these ratings and reviews is another post, but the following are a fast pass to the top of Siri's results.
Schema Tags for Structure Data
I've written previously on Schema.org tags and how they aim to assist the search engines in better understanding and structuring the content available on your website. These tags may prove to become even more important for Siri users. Siri conducts a complex analysis on the intent behind your spoken words and looks to provide you with results as close as possible to what you're asking. For example, if you are in need of a plumber, you may ask Siri "Who are the nearest plumbers in my area?" Siri could potentially check Google and return results based on sites using the Local Business schema tag for plumbers. With Rich Snippets being integrated into Google's result pages, it's also wise to include the address, telephone, and opening hours schema tags as well. Providing the engines with a highly structured and outlined view of your data will allow for a clearer picture of what your site has to offer and may be the key differentiator you need to get the potential customer's attention.
Longer Tail Keyword Optimization
Looking beyond local search activity, Siri has the potential to further expand the depth of language and specificity being used to search. Over recent years, we've seen the long tail of keyword searches increasing as people become smarter at using the engines to find exactly what they are looking for. With Siri, people are able to search in a more "natural" language without the bother of typing out long queries on small screens one letter at a time. Knowing that longer tail keywords typically have a high conversion rate, it will become increasingly important to closely monitor analytics packages for shifts and trends in the long tail traffic originating from mobile searches that may be beneficial to optimize against. Constantly striving to understand how people's search habits change over time as new technology is presented to them may allow you to take advantage of low-hanging fruit faster than the competition.
With over 4 million iPhone 4S's sold in the first three days, Siri is now in the hands of a huge user base in an industry where mobile search has seen significant growth in a very short amount of time. As voice functionality such as Siri are expanded into new devices and markets, it is up to marketers to understand the cumulative effects on the industry and determine which strategies are likely to result in the most visibility for their business. How else do you see Siri, and voice-based search in general, changing how people search from their mobile devices?

Stress is part of life. We generally think of stress in negative terms, and it's well-established that too much stress can lead to a range of health problems. But stress also makes us feel alive. It gives us the gumption to play the lead in a play, apply for that dream job, para-sail off the coast of Mexico, even get out of bed.
For some people, though, the prospect of even the smallest amount of stress is debilitating. Others have had so much stress for so long that they now have trouble coping with it.
If the normal stress in your everyday life has become overwhelming, you may need help to increase your stress tolerance.
How to Increase Your Stress Tolerance
The underlying causes of stress intolerance are numerous. I have found that nutrient deficiencies, insufficient sleep and lack of proper exercise are the most common. Addressing these issues and introducing natural supplements into your daily routines can help increase your tolerance for stress.
- Diet: It's best to eat regularly scheduled meals and snacks that will provide your body with the nutrients you need. Also focus on foods that will keep your blood sugar stable. Skipping meals or consuming excessive amounts of sugar or carbohydrates causes fluctuations in blood sugar which can lead to poor stress tolerance. Protein, fiber and healthy fat, on the other hand, will keep your blood sugar stable. This, in turn, will help keep stabilize your energy and your mood, and help you attain a healthy weight and body composition.
- Sleep: Getting enough sleep (7-9 hours a night) is always helpful, of course. If you're having sleep problems, read our "Short on Sleep" article for tips on how to get back to a regular sleep cycle.
- Exercise: Gentle exercise can help improve your stress tolerance. Just walking 30 minutes a day will usually do wonders.
- Natural Supplements: Everyone's nutritional needs are different. To determine your unique needs, I would suggest a Vitamin and Mineral Saliva Assessment as well as running appropriate lab test for iron, thyroid and adrenal hormones.
If running these tests are not possible, at very least, take a full spectrum of highly bioavailable nutrients at a high potency, especially formulas designed with a high enough potency to really address stress.
Three-month protocol
To help increase your stress tolerance, I recommend the following supplement protocol for a minimum of a three-month period: This combination has never failed to greatly enhance energy and stress tolerance.
- Vitamins plus xtra B, D and K: 1 capsule twice per day
- Minerals (metabolism and stamina formula): 2 capsules twice a day.
- Stress Relief: 1 capsule twice a day

Top Tech News: Buyouts, Bum Guidance, and a Bummer for BlackBerry's Maker
Buyouts, bum guidance, and a broadening decline for a one-time tech titan made up the top tech news this week. Here's a closer look at two stocks that soared and two that soured.
1. The logic of Broadcom's (BRCM) big buy
In any given week, buyouts are bound to be behind the biggest moves, and this week is no exception. Shares of NetLogic Microsystems (NETL) zoomed more than 50% when chip maker Broadcom announced a $3.7 billion bid for the company.
Wall Street and retail investors appear to be mostly bullish on the deal: They've bid up Broadcom's stock by about 7%, or about two points more than the overall market.
There's logic to the buy. Broadcom, a generalist supplier of chips for electronic devices, is buying NetLogic's expertise in creating semiconductors for wireless and networking devices just as the world is adopting a wide array of smart mobile devices such as the iPhone.
Those last words -- "the iPhone" -- may be why lawyers are circling. Shortly after the deal was announced, a number of firms announced (ahem) "investigations" into whether NetLogic brokered a good enough deal for shareholders. Don't expect these fishing expeditions to yield much.
2. Fundtech (FNDT) bumps stock offer, bags cash instead
Sometimes, one buyout offer isn't enough. Just ask Fundtech, whose technology helps broker digital banking transactions. Private equity firm GTCR offered $23.33 a share in cash this week, which the board found more attractive than a June all-stock bid made by software supplier S1. Investors bid up the stock more than 40% on the news.
It appears that GTCR's arrival will end the drama. The Associated Press reports that S1, which is facing an undisclosed takeover bid of its own from a competitor, has accepted an $11.9 million termination payment rather than increasing its offer.
3. A not-so-Perfect World (PWRD)
The market, like life, is filled with irony. Today's proof: Perfect World, a Chinese gaming company that can't seem to find the perfect recipe for growth. Management this week lowered third-quarter revenue guidance to $109.8 million, down from an earlier forecast of $118.3 million. Shares of Perfect World sunk more than 18% after the announcement.
The good news? Perfect World is still growing -- more than 11% on the top line, even with the downward revision. Analysts, meanwhile, believe earnings will rise more than 30% to $3.14 a share in the current year.
The danger? Perfect World has an imperfect history when it comes to producing profits. Per-share earnings surged 77% in 2009 only to fall 18% last year. Trusting Wall Street here might be like asking a jewel thief to manage a Tiffany's. Losses are just too likely.
4. No brakes for Research In Motion (RIMM)
Finally, there's Research In Motion, whose shares have been mixed more than a fruit cocktail over the past year. They're down 20% more late this afternoon after the company reported another awful quarter.
Wait, it gets worse: Despite much hyperbole about the launch of the new BlackBerry 7 handset from co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis during last night's call with analysts, Research In Motion expects earnings per share of just $1.20 to $1.40 for the third quarter.
Forget for a moment that management hasn't proven trustworthy with its estimates. The $1.30 mid-point of its guidance is still $0.06 below what Wall Street was expecting, while the low-end comes startlingly short of analysts' $1.36-per-share target. The message? Like old men in a Bruce Springsteen ballad, Balsillie and Lazaridis may be left with nothing but to reminisce over Research In Motion's glory days gone by.
And that's the week in review. What tech stocks are you following right now? Please weigh in using the comments box below. You can also send Tim an email with your suggestions.

Steve-O says mom gave him booze
Fresh from the video of himself visibly intoxicated beyond belief, Steve-O has told anyone who cares on his MySpace page that his is "in Rehab."
The "Jackass" star, as SheKnows previously reported, has had his share of troubles of late. In his now infamous video, Steve-O has traces of cocaine clearly seen on his nose. After being involuntarily admitted to Los Angeles' favorite hospital, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a suicide watch, on his MySpace post, he went on to explain his emotions during and after his very public meltdown. "Mom was very alcoholic, and I feel that is a gross understatement. I'd love to say that I first took to alcohol out of affection for my mother (there was never any shortage of that for me) but I think the truth is that I was always powerless over it. I know I was always powerless over alcoholism, because it had such a grip on Mom's adulthood and my childhood, and I never chose to fight it. Until now." He goes on to issue fighting words for a kiss-off to his "drugs of choice." "I'm not ready to die. I'm ready to live. I'm ready to breathe (properly, even). I'm ready to fall in love. I'm ready to become ready to start a family. I'm ready to be happy, fulfilled and meaningful. Maybe I'll see you (beep) if and/or when I'm ready to die."

Murdered Director's Tour de Force Arrives on DVD Posthumously
Adrienne Shelly's promising career was cut short on November 1, 2006, when she was robbed and hung in her Manhattan apartment by an illegal immigrant who later confessed to committing the murder. At the time of her death, she was completing the editing on Waitress, an engaging ensemble dramedy which she had not only written and directed, but had co-starred in as well.
The film focuses on the divergent fortunes of a trio of twangy-accented waitresses working at Joe's Pie Diner, which appears to be the social hub of their tiny, close-knit community. The picture's primary plot revolves around Jenna (Keri Russell), a pregnant piemaker, who's hopelessly stuck in a bad marriage to an abusive jerk (Jeremy Sisto).
Desperate for a way out of her dire predicament, she decides to enter a pie cooking contest with a $25,000 grand prize. If she wins, she plans to use the money to leave her husband. She simultaneously embarks on an ill-advised affair with the town's newly-arrived gynecologist, the dashing and debonair, but also-married Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion).
Meanwhile, both of Jenna's confidantes and colleagues, ballsy Becky (Cheryl Hines) and nerdy wallflower Dawn (Shelly), have their own emotional baggage to unload, but nothing quite as self-destructive. The counter girls' dysfunction doesn't escape the observant eye of their elderly boss, Joe (Andy Griffith), a sage old soul able to size up a situation without much information.
Equal parts comedy and drama, Waitress is a warts-and-all tale of female empowerment featuring adult-oriented humor as sophisticated as the mature themes it tackles. Posthumous kudos are in order for Ms. Shelly for figuring a way to present her trio of flawed heroines so empathetically, given their behaviors' crossing over into the outrageous and the unsavory.

Our first day didn't turn out as expected. We needed a plan. Luckily Sharon had room to take Jill in for training. I left Jill with Sharon that day. My goal was for Jill and I to compete in stock dog trials and while there was no guarantee, I knew Jill had a lot of try and perhaps some of my mistakes with her as a pup could be corrected. I wasn't ready to give up just yet! After all...look at that face!
For as sensitive as Jill was, Sharon's direction was black and white. As she explained to me, there was no grey. Sharon made it clear to the dog what was expected and she was consistent. Sharon directed Jill and when Jill balked, Sharon asked more of her. She pushed her to succeed. She didn't baby Jill or let Jill quit, just the opposite. Sharon put the needed pressure on Jill to make the effort to try and succeed.
Today, I use Jill to gather in the hills and in the pastures. While I am still learning and have not yet made it to a Dog Trial (it's on my list), Jill is now a confident, capable, hard biting, and loyal working dog.
She is... a little Cowdog with a great big heart!

So with out further ado, here is what we are loving at the moment...
Artist : Loverdose
Track : Tabula Rasa (Slow Edit)
Label : Prison Entertainment UK
Release Date : 01 / 06 / 2011
The London based duo, Loverdose, have over 10 years experience in dance music production and DJing around the world.
This is a beautifully crafted track, almost a faultless debut release. The track posses a relaxing and floaty melody whilst maintaining a driving beat and bass line that just keeps you dancing. The production combined with a psychedelic vocal rich in vocoder modulation gives the whole track a bitter sweet vibe... Truly beautiful piece of electronic. Hope you like it to.
Buy Tabula Rasa @ Beatport
Visit Loverdose's Soundcloud Page
Artist : Saso Recyd
Track : The Pilot
Label : Rawthentic Music
Release Date : 31 / 10 / 2011
Heard Dubfire play this back in September 2013 and it just hooked me right away.
Produced by a budding producer from Bitola, Macedonia. The track is kicking and percussively driven track that features a minimal amount of melody. The production features a delightfully industrial feel whilst remaining reserved (not an all out smashing techno record), there's a brief spoken vocal that gives a slightly disturbing vibe that truly complements the over all aura and sound of the record.
Artist: Debruit
Track : Nigeria What?
Label : Civil Music
Release Date : 11 / 01 / 2010
It seems like we are mainly unearthing old and hidden gems at the moment. I didn't realise how old some of these tracks is. I accidentally discovered this through a new spinning buddy that you may meet on the Lazy Tom label soon.
This is such a lively record full of cleverly arranged African percussion and instrument sounds. Debruit was having an awesome year in 2013 playing his live and odd flavored show all over the world, I haven't experienced his live shows until he was invited to play a Boiler Room set. Nigeria What? is one of the very few tech-house friendly tracks that I have heard from Debruit, a uniquely awesome track that really lends it self to mashing up during live sets as well.
Artist : Gabriel Ananda
Track : Miracle Whop
Label :
Release Date : 22 / 05 / 2006
The oldest track to be featured this month. Miracle Whop is so well layered, every time I hear it I pick up on a new element within the track. I would love to produce some thing like this my self (watch this space).
The German based Grabriel Ananda is an old hand in the techno music scene. His tracks has aged very well indeed, the progression is sublime and he sound design is second to none. This record is techno at its best, minimal yet industrial and full of audible sonic treats, I would recommend this album over Daniel Avery any day. Trust me, check it out.
Buy Miracle Whop
And that concludes the first edition of Hot Tunes, hope you all enjoyed the sounds. I will try to feature a few more current releases next month.
Much love... Nate

I've said it before… by far, my favorite work by John Mayer is with his trio, thanks to Pino Palladino and Steve Jordan backing him up.
Here's the trio in 2005 performing a bonus jam at the end of a concert, including "Chicken Grease" and "Cissy Strut".
Each member of the band gets his own showcase, making this even better.

Chrysler has just released its first Dodge Dart commercial that will debut during the Major League Baseball All-Star Game on Tuesday night.
The commercial kicks off the Dart's "New Rules" ad campaign and features the Jay-Z and Kanye West single "No Church in the Wild" as its soundtrack. This 90-second commercial titled "How To Change Cars Forever" is a rapid-fire ambush of information outlining what it takes to make a car. Auto insiders and enthusiasts will enjoy all of the steps taken to create any car and the general public will appreciate the humor sprinkled throughout the commercial, including a cameo by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. We appreciate that Chrysler appears to be the only auto manufacturer willing to tackle long-form ads as of late (see also: Super Bowl).
"Adding a dose of fun, creative license and Dodge brand humor, (the commercial) captures the meticulous process of starting with a simple idea and developing it into a revolutionary new car," says Olivier Francois, head of marketing for Chrysler Group LLC.
The full Dart ad campaign kicks off in September, though teasers like this should be making their way into media outlets between now and then. The 2013 Dodge Dart is beginning to roll into dealerships right now.
Scroll down to read the whole press release and see the commercial.
Dodge Brand Shares Story Behind Its Groundbreaking All-new 2013 Dodge Dart in First TV Ad
- 'How to Change Cars Forever' 90-second spot debuts July 10 during Major League Baseball All-Star Game telecast on Fox network
- Ad introduces 'New Rules' tagline
- Brand continues to build momentum for Dodge Dart during summer months as vehicles arrive in showrooms across America
- High-impact marketing launch begins in the fall
"How to Change Cars Forever" is a rapid-fire "instructional" spot on how to make a world-class car today, providing an inside look into the Dodge brand's approach to designing and engineering its much anticipated entry into the highly competitive compact car segment. The TV spot introduces the tagline, "New Rules," which speaks to how Dodge is redefining what a compact car can be. It will be followed this summer by 30-second and 60-second versions airing on major broadcast and cable networks and in movie theaters as Dodge Dart vehicles arrive in dealerships nationwide.
A full, multifaceted marketing campaign will launch in September and will include additional TV spots, print and digital advertising running in major media outlets. The 90-second "How to Change Cars Forever" spot will continue to air in high-profile television events throughout the remainder of the year. The commercial was created by the Portland, Ore.-based advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy and can be viewed at http://youtu.be/G3IbsEQe4Yk.
"Adding a dose of fun, creative license and Dodge brand humor, 'How to Change Cars Forever' captures the meticulous process of starting with a simple idea and developing it into a revolutionary new car, including the angst and pressure of a blank page, trials and errors of the early stages, and molding, shaping and testing the Dodge Dart until it was right," said Olivier Francois, Lead Executive for Marketing, Chrysler Group LLC. "We wanted to provide a peek inside what it takes to bring a new car to fruition."
The spot features the Jay-Z and Kanye West track, "No Church in the Wild," from their "Watch the Throne" album, and it includes cameo appearances by a couple of athletes who are champions in their respective sports.
"With the all-new Dodge Dart, we started with a clean slate and the single vision of bringing a world-class vehicle to market that offers features and benefits never before found in a compact car," said Reid Bigland, President and CEO – Dodge Brand. "Designed and engineered without compromise, the all-new Dart starts with a world-class architecture and DNA of Alfa Romeo combined with class-leading levels of safety, technology, roominess and customization. The end result isn't just a new compact car, but a groundbreaking vehicle that deserves an equally impactful marketing campaign."
Dodge is using high viewership programs and pop culture summer events to build momentum and interest in the Dart among key consumer groups, including young professionals who may be purchasing their first car and "boomers" who may be re-entering the compact car market looking for mid-size interior roominess with the affordability and price position of a compact car.

The window-panes many of them were broke and stuffed with rags….the smell was so fetid (foul) as almost to knock the two men down….they began to penetrate the thick darkness of the place, and to see three or four little children rolling on the damp, nay wet brick floor, through which the stagnant, filthy moisture of the street oozed up.

Take a good look at this photo and tell me what you see…
An alien being? A mutated sea creature? Something freakish to be sure. But in actual fact, this is a newly sprouting sweet potato, and Ben's current pride and joy (well, second to baby Sophia that is.)
We eat a lot of sweet potato, but have never seen it for sale locally, nor have we heard of anyone growing it in their garden here in Ottawa. Apparently that's because it grows well in more tropical climates than ours, being indigenous to Central and South America (or so says Wikipedia.) But wouldn't it be cool if we could grow some in our own backyard?!
So Ben set off on a Google quest to figure out the best way to sprout a sweet potato indoors… turns out there are a lot of other sweet potato lovers out there offering some very useful step-by-step advice on this topic. (Such as the DIY Network.) It works like this: suspend a sweet potato half in a container of water using some toothpicks, putting the "pointy" side down. Keep it in a sunny spot and if you are lucky the yummy little tuber will start sprouting roots and eventually some shoots and leaves! I think it took about 6 weeks for ours to get to the stage shown in the photo.
An important consideration – many sweet potatoes are treated with a sprouting inhibitor. We weren't sure if the one we planted would actually sprout for this reason, but apparently it was not treated. We bought it at Herb and Spice.
The next step will be to put this strange little creature into some soil to see how it grows outside in the Ottawa summer… we'll keep you posted!

BANGKOK (AFP) - Residents on the Thai island where two British tourists were brutally murdered have pooled their funds into a reward for clues about the killers, an official said Friday, as police hunted for fresh leads.
The search for suspects continued on the southern diving island of Koh Tao after David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, were found naked and beaten to death near a beachside bungalow early Monday.
The police investigation appeared to have stalled after post-mortem examinations of the victims' bodies in Bangkok failed to find DNA links to key suspects questioned so far.
"At this point we offer 50,000 baht (S$1,965.59) for anyone who can provide clues which lead to the arrest of a suspect," Koh Tao mayor Chaiyan Turasakul told AFP.
"The money comes from donations from the people of Koh Tao."
The murders have rocked the normally laid-back island and landed a new blow to Thailand's image as a tourist haven, battered by months of political protests that ended in May's army coup.
Several dozen Koh Tao residents held a religious ceremony to offer prayers for the dead on Thursday, Chaiyan said, with many more assisting police in the search.
On Friday regional police commander Panya Maman said around 160 officers were hunting for clues on the small island, which neighbours the more-visited Koh Phangan in the Gulf of Thailand.
"I have deployed police in nearby islands as well as on the mainland," he said.
With no arrests and an apparent lack of new leads, it is unclear where the police investigation can turn.
Earlier this week comments by Thailand's military ruler Prayuth Chan-ocha, suggesting tourists in bikinis could be more vulnerable to attack, triggered an international outcry, leading the premier to apologise.
"They think our country is beautiful and is safe so they can do whatever they want, they can wear bikinis and walk everywhere," Prayuth said in off-the-cuff remarks to government officials, two days after the murder of the British pair.
But "can they be safe in bikinis... unless they are not beautiful?" On Thursday, in a rare public moment of contrition from the army chief, Prayuth said he was "sorry" his remarks hurt people.
According to an official source, Prayuth will Friday send letters to the British prime minister and the families of the two victims offering his condolences over the deaths and explaining his recent comments.

Oh, how to buy! New, refurbished or used on the fly?
Most people know what they want when it comes to the look and feel of an office. But how do you get the look you want without breaking the bank? Let's talk furniture. You can get the style you want, at a good price point if you're willing to do the work. When many people think about a new office, they think new furniture. If that's within your budget and time frame, new is great. But new is not the only way to go.
Consider refurbished or used furniture. However, isn't refurbished just a fancy word for "used?". Not exactly. Refurbished has a wide meaning in the industry. Basically, a piece is refurbished when a portion of the product is new. For instance, a refurbished cubicle wall may have new fabric. A refurbished chair might have a new seat and back covering. A refurbished table might have a recovered surface. Refurbished has a fresher look than used, but comes in at a better cost than new.
If refurbished is still out of your price range or you need the products quicker, then used is the way to go. Used is not only lightest on your pocket book, but it is better for the environment, a key consideration in most green projects. Typically, used has the quickest turn around on delivery. There are some great deals and good looking furniture out there on the used market. A good rule of thumb with used: pictures are great, but always look at the product in person before you purchase. With a little investigation and determination, a fantastic used product can be yours. If you don't want to go entirely used, mix it up! Go with new or refurbished furniture in your public or client-occupied areas, and go with something a little more cost effective in your less public areas.
How mixed is your furniture?
