Tony Jaa cast in Fast and Furious 7. The casting of Tony Jaa in Fast & Furious 7 (2014) answers the question of what new star will be the first to sign on to the James Wan directed film. Tony Jaa will play an unspecified role in the upcoming action franchise film.
Tony Jaa had this to say via e-mail from Thailand about his involvement in Fast and Furious 7:
I have been a big fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. The films are fast paced, fun and keep the audience involved. There is a great mix of humor and action, something I really appreciate. There is no better film to be involved in for a first U.S. studio production.
On Tony Jaa:
Tatchakok Yeerum, formerly Panom Yeerum, Phanom Yiram; born February 5, 1976 in Surin province, Isaan, Thailand. Better known in the West as Tony Jaa, in Thailand as Jaa Panom, is a Thai martial artist, physical educator, actor, choreographer, stuntman, director, and spent time as a Buddhist monk. His films include Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, Tom-Yum-Goong (also called Warrior King or The Protector), Ong-Bak 2: The Beginning, and Ong Bak 3.
More on Tony Jaa's acting career:
Panna Rittikrai and Jaa developed an interest in Muay Boran, the predecessor of Muay Thai and worked and trained for four years at the art with the intention of developing a film around it. Eventually they were able to put together a short film showing what Jaa could do with the help of instructor Grandmaster Mark Harris. One of the people they showed it to was producer-director Prachya Pinkaew, who was duly impressed.
This led to Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior in 2003, Jaa's break-out role as a leading man. Jaa did all the stunts without mechanical assistance or computer-generated effects and it showcased his style of extreme acrobatics and speedy, dance-like moves. Injuries suffered in the filming included a ligament injury and a sprained ankle. One scene in the film involved fighting with another actor while his own trousers were on fire. "I actually got burned," he said in a 2005 interview. "I really had to concentrate because once my pants were on fire the flames spread upwards very fast and burnt my eyebrows, my eyelashes and my nose. Then we had to do a couple more takes to get it right.".
His second major movie was Tom-Yum-Goong (The Protector in the US), named after a type of Thai soup and including a style of Muay Thai that imitates elephants.
In August 2006, he was in New York to promote the US release of The Protector, including an appearance at the Museum of the Moving Image.
Fast and Furious 7 also stars star Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and Tyrese Gibson.
Fast and Furious 7's plot synopsis: "After Dominic Toretto and his crew helped take down Owen Shaw, his brother Ian Shaw now wants revenge."

celebration food
so this time, last year, I was brought to some "ATAS" Japanese Restaurant for my birthday. kind of scrolled over the internet for some ideas and Kuriya comes to the list which is located in Bangsar Shopping Centre.
analyzing every picture in the menu
had hot green tea
I have no idea why there is salad. basically this is how the table looked like when we were served.
ordered a sashimi set. the sashimi is good! the sashimi is really fresh! totally worth the price.
always wanted to try sea urchin, and finally got to try it. it is pricey and I do not like how it tastes like. definitely not going to crave for it in the future.
some wagyu beef and the beef is damn good!
how is the ambiance there?
classy and good
how's the price?
it is pricey, but with that kind of food and ambiance, it's reasonable
how's the staff?
how's the food?
within expectation, good.
will I ever go back there?
yes, if I have my parents with me to pay for it

What a fun day!
We spent several hours out in the sun, at a park/splash pad with friends today. Enough hours, that even I have a bit of a sunburn! My friend and I got to sit and chat while the kiddos ran around, made up games, sang crazy songs, imitated favourite movies, and made new friends… Jeddy, seems to like making new friends. More specifically, friends that just so happen to be girls. He pushed "Emma" on the swing until her mom said it was time to leave. Then, not 5 minutes later, he was chasing "Charlotte" around the park. All I heard about for the rest of the night, was how much fun he had with Emma and Charlotte… Ha!
Prayer and Charity, spent most of their time on the swings with their best bud, singing crazy songs.
A couple of pictures from the triplet's 9th birthday…
I made them guess who's present was who's- they gave me a really strange look… ha!
I wonder why??? ;)
Purses, full of treats!
Elijah, spent the day with his best buddy. They made up games and had the other boys in the park wanting to join in.
My man and "little man" last weekend…
Keona, Somiya, and Eve climbed on top of the monkey bars, and made up "SPY" games- when they weren't carrying Ella around. Funny how Eve always plays with the older girls. Also funny- Keona lets her…
I realized how much of a help my older girls are during VBS week, when I took Jeddy and Ella to a busy park without them… Yikes! The girls are so good at taking turns playing with Ella and keeping an eye on her. When they're with us, I never worry about where Ella is. I was drained after chasing those two around for an hour! Oh, to have the energy of a 9 year old again…
Speaking of Ella- tonight, she had on a dress and I told her that Keona use to wear it all the time. Her response, "Yeah, when Keona was me, her use to fit in this dress!"
Off to the beach with my kiddos and hubby tomorrow- looking forward to it! :)

Effective Letterheads | Designing Your Image: Tips For A Powerful Letterhead Design
Effective Letterheads | If you are creating new stationery for your business, one of the most vital elements you will have to pay attention to is the letterhead. The top of any piece of stationery sets the first impression, especially when it comes to a design that will be seen by potential clients. You might not realise it, but a letterhead is more than just a blurb at the top of a page. It communicates everything that your potential clients need to know about your company, conveyed through a combination of your company's name, logo and contact information.
Designing an effective letterhead means getting all the details just right so that when it gets into the hands of your potential clients, it not only provides them with something tactile, but also makes a lasting impression of your brand. There's a huge difference between getting a letter on a simple blank paper and getting a letter with a professionally designed letterhead. Whether you want your letterhead to reinforce your brand identity, or make a strong first impression on your target audience, here are some useful things to consider so that you can get the most out of this important marketing tool.
Define Your Letterhead Text | Effective Letterheads
The starting point of any letterhead design is to decide exactly what information will be used within the layout. Company name and logo are absolutely pivotal elements to include together with all relevant contact information. If you do not have a logo, consider having one created for your business, it is a good way of expressing the nature of your brand and engaging your potential clients. Once you have a logo, it can also be used on your business cards and envelopes. Don't forget to include your company's postal or street address, phone and fax numbers and email. Your company slogan may be also incorporated if you want.
RELATED: Letterhead Design | Make Your Business Letterhead Pop! Six Effective Design Tips
Add Some Color | Effective Letterheads
Make sure that you carefully represent the branding when creating your letterhead. This isn't just about the logo, but the choice of colours, imagery, fonts, and much more. Company colours are generally used to ensure that the letterhead design stays consistent with other branded materials. At all times, colour must be used selectively with the sole goal of emphasizing your company's name. If you have other printed materials that have a color scheme that is used, you should definitely include the same colors into your letterhead. This will create company identity through the use of the associated colors.
Make It Readable | Effective Letterheads
A letterhead showcases the name of your company, which means the choice of font size, color, and style are all-important. Stay away from those fancy fonts! You want the name of your business to stand out, not the font. If your company's image is heavily branded, make sure to use the same font for your letterhead as you do with your other materials. This will help reinforce your brand image and make your business recognizable. Try to limit the fonts that you use on your letterhead to two different fonts.
Keep Your Design Simple | Effective Letterheads
The role of your letterhead design should be to help communicate what you have to say in an appealing and memorable way. While you do want to include all important information on your letterhead, you should also avoid the trap of cluttering it up. White space is just as important as the information you include, and an overly busy letterhead containing too many details will just become confusing for the reader. Stay away from busy designs that will compete with your content and instead choose simple designs that provide an effective framework to communicate your message.
RELATED: Effective Letterhead Design | Design For Conversion: Effective Letterhead Design Tips for Your Business
Paper Quality | Effective Letterheads
Select the type of paper you would like your letterhead printed on. The paper's thickness, finish and color will all affect the image your letterhead conveys. Printing your business letterhead on the quality stock paper will help you reinforce your creative design and will result in something visually delightful and tactile. Use of special effects such as embossing, foil blocking, die-cutting or a spot-UV finish can also help showcase quality, sophistication and a point of difference.
Carefully Review Your Proof Copy | Effective Letterheads
When you work with a print shop, always get a press-proof of your letterhead before the printer starts the full ten-thousand-sheet job. This is your last chance to fix any spelling errors – so double-check that phone number! Take the time to make sure contact details are correct. Nothing looks unprofessional like a letterhead with inaccurate information. It gives the appearance that the viewer is not worth the time of sending the right information to.

text: Innovation builds total audience By Bob Felsenthal,. Published on July 09, 2010. Listening to the Top Innovators in Business Publishing at our recent annual awards luncheon in New York, I was struck by how many truly bright people still believe strongly in a great future for our industry. Some critics have said we in b-to-b media haven't innovated in recent years and that our business is in a downward spiral that it can't pull out of. But clearly these innovators don't subscribe to that theory. Northstar Travel Media's Tom Kemp, one of our CEO award winners, was quick to acknowledge that many investors are devaluing business media as publishers struggle to change their business models. But marketers will spend again, and across many channels, he said, as the economy recovers and the b-to-b media industry deleverages itself. As Tom pointed out, we are now an audiencecentric business, and the audiences in our well-covered verticals will once again be very profitable. Access Intelligence's Don Pazour, another CEO winner, also emphasized a total audience approach as the path to future success. As Don said, we can ask the audience to pay for some kinds of content and we can deliver real-time leads. He also stressed that we no longer need to create just content, we need to build viable communities. Such communities, he emphasized, will provide many opportunities for growth through face-to-face events. Clearly, we need to keep innovating and focus on the audience and community, not the platform. Then, cyclical growth will bring strong profits once more. Bob Felsenthal can be reached at [email protected] Most Popular In this article: BtoB

Michigan State (3-0) vs. No. 22 Notre Dame (2-1), 3:30 p.m. (NBC)
Line: Notre Dame by 6 1/2.
Series record: 47-28-1.
Notre Dame already has a loss to a Big Ten school from Michigan and can't afford another. Michigan State is trying to get off to its best start since 2010, when a touchdown on a fake field goal in overtime gave the Spartans an overtime victory over the Irish and launched them to an 8-0 start and a share of the Big Ten title.
Notre Dame QB Tommy Rees vs. the Michigan State defense. The Spartans are No. 1 in total defense and pass efficiency defense, but that's been against soft competition. Rees became the second Irish quarterback to pass for 300 yards in the first three games of a season, joining Jimmy Clausen in 2009, and could become the first Notre Dame quarterback to accomplish the feat in the first four games.
Michigan State: DE Shilique Calhoun has three touchdowns, with two fumble recoveries for scores and a 56-yard interception return. He also has two sacks, eight quarterback hurries, three tackles for loss and another fumble recovery.
Notre Dame: RB by committee. George Atkinson tops the depth chart and has the most yards per carry at 5.4, but is third in carries (18) and yards (98). Amir Carlisle appeared to be emerging as the top runner and leads the team with 148 yards on 30 carries, but touched the ball only once in the fourth quarter against Purdue, and that was a fumble. Cam McDaniel is least-heralded, but has 29 carries for 125 yards.
Nine of the last 13 games in the series have been decided by a touchdown or less. ... The Irish are 11-6 under Kelly in games decided by a touchdown or less, but 9-1 in their last 10 games. ... The rivalry goes on one of its periodic pauses for the next two seasons, which has nothing to do with Notre Dame's agreement to play five games against Atlantic Coast Conference opponents. The two-year pause was agreed to before Notre Dame joined the ACC in most sports other than football. It will be the first such break in the series since 1995-96.

Phedre by Jean Racine
translated and adapted by Ted Hughes
National Theatre of Great Britain's production
presented by Shakeapeare Theatre Company
Harman Center for the Arts,
Washington D.C
Review by Grace Cavalieri
During a brief two-week run in Washington, Helen Mirren is the draw to Jean Racine's Phedre presented by Britain's National Theatre. Let me say from the start that she played the spotlight far more for light than heat, (the smoldering and burning all inward) and made more remarkable a part which has been called one of the greatest roles available for a female actor.
At the Harman Center, light is also a character from the beginning with the cerulean blue sky of Greece possessing the stage, reflecting the tone of the play and its changing mood. A huge rock formation is the only stagecraft in an asymmetrical setting, telling us all we need to know of the play's structure, power and elegance, the bleak ferocity of writer Jean Racine.
The language is now blank verse in Racine's play, translated by the former Poet Laureate of England, Ted Hughes. He died at age 68 in a life not unlike a Racine tragedy His lover, in 1969 AssisaWevill, for whom Hughes had left his wife, poet Sylvia Plath, committed suicide, using gas, as Plath had in 1963. Wevill also killed the couple's 2-year-old daughter. Ted Hughes starred in a mountain of literary controversy, destroying the dead Plath's journals, and was hated and loved intermittently by readers and critics. I paraphrase poet Eagan Boland's remark of Hughes saying that no poet was so praised for his failures. Phedre was the last translation by a man called the best of his generation. This was how Hughes spent his years before death in 1998, lending his vision to heroic French verse changing it into clear direct poetic prose.
The play is of Queen Phedre's incestuous love for her stepson, Hippolytus (Dominic Cooper). Chaucer put infidelity well, calling it "the great untrouthe of love." Phedre is dying of her grief, harboring an abhorrent sin, tortured by an inability to possess Hippolytus or show kindness to him. Theseus, King of Athens (Stanley Townsend) is away on his travels and rumored dead. Oenone, nurse and confidant to Phedre, (Margaret Tyzack) unwisely tells Phedre she must unburden her secret and cast off its sickness.
Phedre summons her strength and bares her heart to Hippolytus who is repulsed, but not nearly as replulsed as Theseus will be when he returns. The best offense is defense and Oenone counsels Phedre to accuse Hippolytus of lustful acts, shifting the alliance. Hippolytus is honorable to the end in not dispelling Phedre's lie. "My only wealth is my pride "said Hippolytus early on "leaving me no room for folly." Hippolytus also discloses his love for Aricia of royal Athenian blood (Ruth Negga), the daughter of an enemy, a person forbidden to him .Truth is learned too late. Theseus calls on Neptune to kill his son, which results in Phedre's final demise.
Phedre's desire was all-consuming and the play tells us that once Love picks the man "Gods cancel all protestations." The Queen dies of anguish slowly from the play's very beginning. This is theater of language, short spare phrases, Alexandrine verse now transformed into modern poetry. "When passion breaks, reason evaporates." Phedre's shameful confession, "Look at me. A woman in frenzy" is beautifully cadenced. The monologues throughout could have been histrionic but because of the ability of Ted Hughes we have a more bracing script. This is his major opus; his pen was strong to the end. Hughes mastered his many voices to make this world multiply better even than Robert Lowell's previous translation. Margaret Rawlings who played Phedre in 1957 said there was "no actable translation" available. She translated it from French and claimed to have improved on Robert Boswells work of 1890. I don't see much improvement except an emphasis for her to better play her lines. There is something about a masterwork that makes a master writer want to imprint his own soul; put something that was not there before. Whatever he was seeking to accomplish, I believe Hughes found.
Racine and Shakespeare are spoken in the same breath. Where Shakespeare is a multi-colored and spectacular caravan, Racine is the gray of formality. It is said Racine employs 1/10th the words Shakespeare would use in a play. And let me say, for a translator/adapter, words are only as good as the ones he brings along in his heart.
A wonderful moment for the audience is when Phedre realizes that, alive or dead, Hippolytus loves Aricia and that their love will be immortal, whether they live or die. This is impossible for Phedre to bear. Helen Mirren makes magnificent the simple language: "He can feel, but he feels nothing for me." I saw Judith Anderson play Medea years ago and I have never forgotten the fire of her speeches. Mirren plays Phedre with restrained passion, ablaze only at times, and will be honored for this just as well.
Grace Cavalieri is a playwright and poet. She produces "The Poet and the Poem from the Library of Congress for public radio.
Phèdre, by Racine, translated by Ted Hughes. Directed by Nicholas Hytner. Sets and costumes, Bob Crowley; lighting, Paule Constable; company voice work, Jeannette Nelson and Kate Godfrey.

Everyone makes poor relationship decisions at one time or another. Whether it's letting an unhealthy relationship go on too long or cutting a good thing short, we've all experienced the feelings of relief, nausea, and confusion that directly follow a breakup. Sometimes you end a relationship because it's truly for the best, but other times you regret the decision almost as soon as you say "goodbye". Interestingly enough, relationship mistakes are just as common in professional sports as they are in the dating world. No one will soon forget the famous "Curse of the Bambino" that resulted from the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth, or the Oilers parting ways with Wayne Gretzky, or the Oklahoma City Thunder refusing to pay James Harden his money last summer.
If you think about it, the Jazz have also made their share of relationship mistakes over the course of their history. Some of their dismissals have been applauded, while others have left a painful sting that won't soon diminish. It's never easy to find a player who puts up consistent numbers, but once you do, you need to hold onto them like the whole future of the franchise depends on it—because it does. As Jazz fans, we're not torn up about parting ways with players like C.J. Miles, DeShawn Stevenson, or Kosta Koufos, but we do care about the ones that actually made an impact. If the Jazz want to avoid vetting their roster of talented players unnecessarily, someone needs to point out where they went wrong. To help with this, I've compiled a list of the players the Jazz should have never let go.

Al Jefferson? Are u kidding? hahaha
Big Al eh?? Hmmm….. I'm not sure how many ppl are going to be missing big al :P
I liked where you were going until I saw Al on the list. Personally, I don't think I could possibly be less torn about letting him go.
You totally missed the point of this last off seasin didn't you. You must be bored trying to find anything to write about. Even some thing as rediculous as this stupid article.
If we had been able to keep Dominique we would not have drafted Malone (as they played the same position). We might have been a better team and therefore maybe missed Stockton as well. As for me I would much rather have those two and Wilkins. He only averaged that many points because he was a volume scorer, not an efficient scorer like Malone.
As for Big Al – No Defense + No Passing once he got the ball = Bad team player. Glad he is gone!!
Big Al? yeah I will not miss Big Al at all. Sure he put up numbers but man was i sick of his lack of defense and how much he screwed up the offense with his ball hog mentality! To be effective on offense you have to move the ball, and quickly! every time Big Al got the ball I just wanted to rip my hair out. He would stand there holding the ball for 10-15 seconds then shoot a stupid jumper or "push shot". Maybe he would of made a difference if he would of taken the ball to the rim more often and got the other teams big guys in foul trouble and gotten to go to the free throw line where he shot a pretty decent percentage. I am with you Brett, Big Al "bad team player"
DWil, DFav, DWil, DFav, oh and I forgot about Enes the Menace and the rest of the trade package, plus the cap flexibility. Can the Jazz keep all the trade goodies and get him back at a reasonable salary?
The Jazz needed the $1m to meet payroll or fold. Keep Nique, no Jazz.
Kyle was a victim of too many overpaid players and not enough salary, the Jazz would have loved to keep him, but couldn't afford him due to overpaying prior players.
Big Al? Big salary Al? Black hole Al? Ball stopper Al? Great mentor and guy, but what will the defense be without him?
So, I guess I can give you Kyle.
What about Wesley Matthews?
Spot on. There are so many others I'd have regrets over besides this list. I was hoping to get Korver back this year.
You lost credit with DWill. I lost interest at Big Al.
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my
comment didn't appear. Grrrr… well I'm not writing all that over again.
Anyway, just wanted to say fantastic blog!

Best Ever Haloumi Salad
This delicious (and we mean delicious) haloumi salad comes from a great little cafe in Mosman (a short walk from our shop) called Open Circus. On the menu it's simply described as Haloumi with 'best ever green salad'. And we think that's spot on. Enjoy.
- 1/2 Green capsicum, chopped
- 1 large cucumber, chopped
- 1 medium fennel, chopped
- Large handful of rocket
- Large handful of kale, stems removed, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup pepitas, toasted lightly
- 1 cup green or red grapes, halved
- 1/2 bunch basil, leaves picked and roughly torn
- 250g Haloumi, sliced
- Pesto
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 6 table tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Combine dressing ingredients (use a jar and shake to combine), season to taste.
- In a large bowl, combine the vegetables, grapes, basil and pepitas. Pour over enough dressing to coat and toss gently.
- Pat the haloumi slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Heat a frypan over medium heat, add a little olive oil and fry haloumi slices in batches (1-2 minutes each side) and set aside.
- Divide salad among serving plates and top with haloumi slices. Add a generous dollop of pesto, garnish with some fresh chopped herbs and serve.
Recipe from @OpenCircus.

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
This 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T is a rare red on red, U-code, 4 speed with low original miles. This is an original Texas car. Yep, it has the fender tags and build sheet.
How to best describe this car? Not sure this analogy works perfectly, but it fits. This car is like a house you buy in the right neighborhood. Everyone you meet will be impressed as soon as you say "I live on Boardwalk". They might walk up the drive and pause just briefly, noting that the exterior of the house could use a little bit of touch up. Once they go inside however they are awed, as everything is new, everything is right and it is obvious that meticulous care has been taken to make sure that is the case. Don't take the below improvements incorrectly, I started driving the car when I got it many years ago, it was "stored" in my heated garage during the winter and I had time to tinker with it to improve things that were not perfect.
Same deal with this Challenger, look at some of the pictures. From the very inside out (new gaskets everywhere inside from the heater housing to the duffy plate). New wiring harness anywhere anything was amiss. Everything cleaned and or refinished or repainted as necessary. Look at the ash tray, you could eat out of it. You might buy a house and then discover that you need to buy all new appliances, light bulbs, some missing trim, etc. Not here. If you are missing the jack, you might spend a few hundred for a correct jack. Not here, that is present. Many have rotted exhaust tips, these are new. Same story in many places, everything was restored and with great care and attention to detail. How many vehicles don't have simple things like the right seat belts? You might have to drop $1000 on something like that if they are gone. And just try and find things like the right seat belt retractor covers. Detail in things like making sure all interior screws are correct, the reverse light is there. The dash is new (see if you can find one without a crack). The radio speaker cover is not cracked, all the perfect touches.
Engine and drivetrain. Engine is not numbers matching, drivetrain is correct and original to the car. The engine might be, it is a 70 block and has been with the car for the 20 years I have owned it. The engine casting date is 7-31-69, with the car manufactured date inside the door showing as November of 1969, so it is curious that they seem to indicate they could have been mated at the factory, everyone knows that Dodge sometimes put in what they had available.
What has been done to make the car great? Here are some of the things, not enough room to list everything.
Big Things – New Centerforce Clutch. New leaf springs. New Holley carb. New front suspension from Performance Suspension Technology (ball joints, bushings, steering linkage, sway bar, etc). New 15 inch wheels from Summit Racing. Ceramic Headers and new exhaust pipes (TTI Exhaust from Mancini Racing). New interior (front buckets, rear seat), both including new foam. New carpeting, new headliner. All correct from Legendary interior. Engine rebuilt by TPI Specialties (Cottrell Racing), then dyno tuned by Applied Dyno technology before installation. New dash.
Medium Things – New correct gas tank, new pinion snubbers, New smaller, lighter weight, higher performance starter that can stand the heat of the headers. New emergency brake cables. Correct fan shroud. Radiator flush, pressure test and small crack fixed. New shift fork. New ball joints. Front and rear shocks. New Brake lines. New wheel bearings and seals. Correct jack, refinished and repainted. New fuel pump, aftermarket Temp and Oil gauges. New power steering gearbox. New and correct rear exhaust tips. New Body plugs. New u-joints, refinished driveshaft. New 6 Quart oil pan. Rebuild kit for the heater box.
Bigger than little things – Brake drums sand blasted and painted and refinished. Ditto for control arms. New correct washer fluid bottle. New turn signal switch, upgraded to halogen headlights (thank you Year One). New motor mounts, new pillar trim. New pistol grip. New speedometer cable. Front firewall pad.
Time to embark on a new project, so the Challenger must go. I have had the car for nearly 20 years, and have enjoyed working on it and loved driving it, as well as all the complements you get and the people that want to talk to you. I just wish that everyone would not always say "beautiful Charger", how come everybody knows "Charger" and only a few "Challenger"?
Not only will you enjoy the drive, the looks, the complements and the conversation, this is a great investment vehicle with the 50th anniversary quickly approaching, these vehicles are projected to dramatically increase in value. Get yours while the getting is good. The 1970 model year was so good, that they had to use it for the model when re-introduced the Challenger.
I have all the receipts and records of what has been done.
Original build sheet with the car. 58xxx miles. Clear title in my name. The car comes with the original build sheet and fender tag. It drives and runs very strong.
The Challenger came from the factory with the 440 engine, 4-speed transmission and Dana 60 Super Track Pack rear end! This car is very quick and a blast to drive.
The interior is all new from Legendary. It has factory C55 buckets and R11 AM radio. All of the carpeting is new as well and as are the floor mats.
The car is listed in Galen Govier's Chrysler Registry.

I love your books and your blog, I have learned so much from you. I also just got my first online class this weekend. Exciting journey, thanks for guiding me!
I picked up your book yesterday and finished reading it this morning. So many of the other sewing books I've been reading have been disappointing, but your book wasn't! I am "sew" in love with your writing style and the precision of your instruction and the quality and content of your information. I have wanted to learn to sew for so many years — you have made feel "sew" confident. And I wanted to thank you for that.
Janine P.
I'm so thankful I bought Deborah's book when I purchased my new sewing machine. Stitch by Stitch opened a while new world for me. Thank you!

Needs StatementDementia can be caused by nearly forty different diseases and conditions. Currently there are four clinical dementia syndromes accounting for 90% of all cases of progressive cognitive impairment. The four common diseases have different clinical characteristics and diagnostic criteria for each of them.
Less than 50% of people with Alzheimer's reported being told of their diagnosis. Patients and their proxies have the right to make informed decisions about their healthcare. Studies have shown that when patients and caregivers understand their diagnosis and are active participants in the decision-making process, the quality of care they receive is better than the care received by uninformed patients.
The value of the services family caregivers provide for "free", when caring for older adults, is estimated to be $375 billion a year. That is almost twice as much as is actually spent on homecare and nursing home services combined. Supporting caregivers by continually educating them on non-pharmacologic interventions and local resources will lessen their burden and assist them on caring for their loved ones.
This program is the first in a three part series that will address deficiencies in healthcare professional knowledge/competence related to Alzheimer's disease, dementia and the role of the Healthcare Professional. This first video focuses on differentiating hallmark clinical signs of dementia and the best diagnostic and assessment criteria. This video also addresses the role of healthcare team members beyond a basic diagnosis.
Learning Outcome:
This activity will give the nurse a more in depth understanding of the four most common types of dementia; disclosing of a diagnosis; changes/progression of disease; agreed treatment and disease management; professional care options and educating, engaging and helping families/caregivers with the day to day struggles they face while caring for loved ones.
Target AudienceInterdisciplinary healthcare professionals, RN, LVN, LNFA, SW, LPC, and Home Health Caregivers in 3 types of care settings: facility-based staff, home health caregivers, and primary care physician office staff
- Identify hallmark characteristics of the main types of dementia; Alzheimer's disease, Vascular Dementia, Lewy-Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, and Mixed Dementia;
- Review the newest diagnostic guidelines for dementia;
- Explore the practical use of assessment scales in the domains of cognition, function, behavior, quality of life and depression in dementia;
- Examine person-centered communication skills with patients and clients when delivering "bad news" and working with cultural differences; and
- Locate reliable sources of information to further professional education in dementia and to refer patients and clients for support in dementia care.

This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use their own inrerpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased.
The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their "ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line" to report any noted bias or conflict of itnerest in the educational activity.

Humans have only one bed, in the same spot, in the same room. Dogs need a little more variety. You'll need to provide several different beds for your pooch and keep them spread out all throughout the house. That way, when Trot feels the urge to take a snooze, he'll have a cozy place nearby to catch some z's.
How to Find a Good Place to Place a Dog Bed
Serene Environment
Place Trot's bed someplace that doesn't have a lot of traffic or noise, giving him a quiet serene spot to rest. Near the front door or halfway down the hallway aren't ideal places -- too much noise from people walking by. Tossing Trot's fluffy pillow in the corner of the laundry room isn't an ideal location either. Sure, it's out of the way, but the washer and dryer make a lot of noise. He actually might be scared of sleeping in there.
Close to the Family
Your dog is a big part of your family, so keep his bed close to where you hang out. If your whole family sits down at the dining room table each evening, make sure Trot has a cushion to lie on nearby. Have another pillow in the living room if that's where everyone hangs out afterwards. You may even want to put one of his beds in your home office, allowing Trot to stay right by you while you work. Of course, if you don't want him piling into your bed at night, you'll need to provide him with his own cushy place to sleep in the corner of your bedroom.
Someplace Warm
When you slip into bed for the evening, you probably snuggle under a pile of blankets to stay warm. Sleeping in a cold place isn't comfortable. Your canine buddy feels the same way, so place his bed away from drafty areas. Windows, sliding glass doors and any other exterior doors should be far away from Trot's bed. If it isn't possible to keep his sleeping space away from a chilly breeze, get him a bed with a cover or make him a covered bed by placing a sturdy wooden or plastic box on its side. Just plop a pillow or some blankets on the bottom to give him a soft place to rest that protects him from the elements.
Other Tips
Finding the right place for Trot to sleep isn't your only concern. You also need to know which type of bed to get him. For example, if he's still a puppy and getting through that teething stage, you may just want to get him a sturdy box-like bed. This way you can fill it with old blankets or pillows, rather than investing in a large mattress bed that he might destroy. When he gets older, that box bed isn't as efficient. He'll have a harder time getting in and out as his joints become sore. In this case, lay out orthopedic mattresses that support his aging bones. Lastly, give him what he likes. If Trot always rests his head on the armrest of the sofa, he'll want a bed that has a lip on the side. However, if he tends to sprawl out, get him beds that are at least 5 inches longer than he is.

Follow us now so you don't miss new releases!
57.5 mb, Windows 8/Windows 7/Vista/XP
This build has a few changes and a batch of bug fixes. Notable improvements include a workaround to a spec change in Chrome 47 that prevented the User Media object's camera/microphone access from working, more NW.js improvements, and the ability for Cordova plugins to be loaded from PhoneGap Build's plugin store instead of the new default of npm, which fixes a problem with iAd.
Please note releases may slow down for a while due to festive season holidays, but we should be back to normal by early in the new year. We'll try to keep everyone updated with new NW.js releases as well, especially since recent updates are rapidly improving support. The next stable release should also come some time in the early new year, but we want to try and have that coincide with a reliable NW.js version, so we'll see how the next couple of NW.js releases work out.
Sprite: action to set animation repeat-to frame
'Choose key' dialog: renamed "Return" to "Enter", since apparently this could cause confusion for non-native English speakers
If the editor was running on a high-DPI display, it could preview/export text objects at the wrong size
User Media: when stopping canvas recording, the stream is now correctly stopped, which helps the browser return to 60 FPS if recording was impacting the framerate
Local Storage: would crash in Firefox if cookies disabled. Now in this case any attempt to access local storage will simply trigger "On error".
Slider bar: "compare value" condition did not work
User Media: work around a spec change in Chrome 47 that broke camera/microphone access
NW.js plugin: error using 'request attention' action
AJAX: did not work in some recent NW.js versions
Bullet: could set object to a NaN position after a "bounce" action with speed 0
iAd: now specifies correct source for plugin on PhoneGap Build
Plugins can now specify the source for a cordova plugin by separating it with !, e.g. "com.scirra.test!pgb" to load "com.scirra.test" from the PhoneGap Build source instead of defaulting to npm.
We'd love it if you could show your appreciation of it by retweeting and sharing it on Facebook and Twitter!

Click here for an audio press release that media can use in their broadcasts
NEW YORK -- The third annual National Day of Remembrance for Aborted Children – to take place Sept. 12 at gravesites and memorials all over the country -- takes on a new significance this year in light of a series of undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood officials trafficking in the organs and limbs of aborted babies.
"The recent revelations about abortion giant Planned Parenthood's practice of harvesting and selling body parts from aborted babies makes it all the more important for those of us who love these children to visit their gravesites," said Eric Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, which is sponsoring the memorial with Priests for Life and Citizens for a Pro-Life Society.
"This small handful of aborted children whose bodies have been buried in sacred ground -- rather than incinerated, flushed down the drain, or dissected and sold for profit -- represent all the tens of millions who have been abandoned since abortion was made legal," Scheidler said. "Let us visit them on September 12 and mourn as we should for all of abortion's unborn victims."
Solemn prayer vigils will be conducted at many of the 47 gravesites of aborted babies throughout the United States, as well as at dozens of other sites dedicated in memory of aborted children.
Tens of thousands of aborted children have been retrieved from abortion mills and other facilities and given the honor and dignity of a burial. The stories of how they were killed, how they were found, and how they were buried, along with the pictures and videos that document those events, can be found at www.abortionmemorials.com, which also has a list of burial sites and services, and suggestions for ways to get involved.
Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, said leaders of the pro-life movement have long known about the sale of baby parts but now the rest of America is catching a glimpse of the true nature of abortion.
"America is seeing the baby – not the fetus, not the products of conception – but the actual child who is killed in abortion," he said. "We need a strong show of support at this year's memorial service to put the abortion industry on notice that this nation is quickly reaching the point where we will no longer tolerate this barbarism."
The National Day of Remembrance, Father Pavone said, "creates a focal point for our grief, both national and personal, and for the education of future generations. These services also will provide opportunities for an urgent call to healing after abortion for the women who have suffered from this terrible choice and are now grieving again as they watch the undercover videos that show the truth about abortion."
Monica Migliorino Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society noted that, "Since 1973, 58 million human beings have been killed in legalized abortion. This is a national slaughter -- and so few, indeed a mere fraction of those human lives, managed to find their way into a human cemetery. The recent undercover videos that show Planned Parenthood officials haggling over the sale of aborted baby body parts reveal that indeed human beings are killed in abortion as their torn bodies lay in the back rooms of these clinics. Those bodies will never see a humane burial.
"When we honor the graves of the aborted unborn we pay honor to all the unwanted unborn. How ironic that the last work of mercy, to bury the dead, is for the first work of mercy these buried aborted babies ever knew. The least we can do is honor them and allow their voices from the grave call us to end the injustice of abortion."
While the simultaneous services around the nation will be held on September 12, the National Day of Remembrance Team also announced that on Saturday, October 24, a special memorial service will be held in Philadelphia at the site where the bodies of babies killed by Kermit Gosnell were retrieved from his abortion facility. Gosnell is serving life in prison for killing some of those babies who were born alive. The date of the Philadelphia service was moved due to preparations being made for the imminent visit of Pope Francis to the city.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Stellar Business Cards | Keep Your Business Cards From Becoming Trash – 6 Vital Design Tips
Stellar Business Cards | A vital element of any elevator pitch, and essential to on-the-ground marketing, a simple business card is crucial to increasing both the revenue and reputation of a small business. With all the digital communication mediums available today, you might not think your business card is your most important networking tool. However, it stays out there on the front lines, leaving impressions on potential clients long after your meeting is over, and providing them with a way to reach you. That 3.5-by-2-inch card can either leave a lasting impression, or end up in the closest garbage can faster than you can say, "Let's do lunch."
Stellar Business Cards | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
Using business cards to market your business is a crucial component of a quality branding strategy. If you do not have a business card that stands out, people will quickly forget your business. It's often the first item potential clients get from you, so it's your first opportunity to make an impression. The kind of impression you make is up to you…
Go For Quality | Stellar Business Cards
Usually, it is best to have your business card professionally printed; however, if you're printing them at home, make sure you use quality, thick paper for best results. as this shows you're a serious business, and it may keep your card out of the garbage can. It is crucial that your business cards are not so flimsy that they can be easily ripped or folded, because this will send a wrong image. If you choose something cheap looking, thin, it will have a negative effect, while something like embossing or a metallic foil on a specially treated stock will certainly leave a much more positive impression.
RELATED: Modern Business Card Designs | The Point Is To Stand Out, Not Fit In! 5 Tips For A Successful Business Card Design
Include All Necessary Details | Stellar Business Cards
Contact details are mandatory, whether it is a phone, number, fax number or email address. Wherever possible, have more than one way of contact listed on the card to give people choice and ensure they can reach you. However, don't overdo it. While you may be tempted to offer a wide array of contact options (office, cell and fax number; street address; e-mail; Twitter and Facebook ID; LinkedIn URL), a better idea is to prune ruthlessly. Ask yourself: Where do you really engage with potential clients? Some people only list their website, city, and business telephone number. This will keep you from getting more spam emails or unsolicited cell phone calls.
Don't Overdo It | Stellar Business Cards
Business cards are typically just 3.5″ x 2″, so you don't have too much space to work with. Even though you want your business card to leave a great first impression, don't make it too complicated. A sleek and simple card design may be enough. Avoid cluttering the card with too much noise. People shouldn't feel overwhelmed by too many images, or different fonts, because it will take away from the information on the card.
Print In Color | Stellar Business Cards
Unless your business particularly benefits from using only black and white, a full-color business card is a much better idea to catch attention and wow a potential client. Using a glossy finish can help make your card stand out even more, especially if it includes a high amount of color. You should think about the image that you want to convey about your brand with your design. While color psychology is complex, it is vital to understand that it definitely has a huge effect on the way in which other people will perceive your business.

Utilize The Back Of Your Card | Stellar Business Cards
While you need to have written content on one side of the card, think about saving the other for something more visual. Perhaps you could use the space to display an image of your product, or something related to your business. A map, calendar, business motto, personal statement, or inspirational quote might also be appropriate. By adding some sort of content (or value) to your business card, you might just save it from the trash can.

Be Consistent With Fonts | Stellar Business Cards
Don't use a lot of different font styles or types. Instead, select one that is appropriate for your business and that fits with your brand's image. If you've got a lot of information to display, you may be tempted to shrink the size of your text. Beware – small text can often look readable onscreen, but turn into an illegible smudge when printed.

"Norma", Lyric's New Vocal Gem
The opera "Norma" holds a special place in Lyric Opera's legacy. It was first performed during Lyric's opening season (1954) by the iconic soprano, Maria Callas. Yet, those who were in the audience at last Saturday's opening night performance heard a performance by acclaimed soprano, Sondra Radvanovsky, that could hold a candle to Callas' legendary appearance. Her performance was replete with vocal fireworks fused with a portrayal of intense emotion. She received a deservedly thunderous ovation at the end, .
I attend the opera hoping to hear fine voices, revel in the visual splendor along with seeking imaginative staging. Last Saturday, I was enthralled by the ravishing vocal performance of Radvanovsky as a Druid priestess, strongly supported by tenor, Russell Thomas, as Pollione, her cheating lover, and Elizabeth DeShong as Adelgisa, her follower but also romantic rival. Their stirring performances, particularly her duets with Adelgisa and Pollione near the end of Act 2, compensated for a production lacking visual splendor and inventive staging.
"Norma", viewed as the pinnacle of bel canto opera, is not a standard of the opera repertoire, unlike perennial favorites "La Boheme", "Magic Flute" or "Madame Butterfly". It requires a special soprano who can handle the vocal demands of (Vincenzo) Bellini's devilishly difficult score that runs the gamut from thrilling high notes to soft pianissimos. It is also a killer role that requires physical stamina since Norma is on stage for nearly the entire opera. That explains why it has not appeared on Lyric's calendar since the 1996-97 season. Radvanovsky is currently one of opera world's reigning Normas, a world-class artist who is a Berwyn-born Chicago native.
I exited the opera house captivated by Radvanovsky's portrayal. What I found disappointing was that director Kevin Newbury, who worked such magic with "Bel Canto", was unable to instill this production with much vitality. He claimed he tried to give this tragic tale a "Game of Thrones" look. I failed to see much of a "Thrones" connection apart from a lot of black leather onstage.
Newbury was not helped by Lyric's one-size-fits-all set design. The huge, dark gray set worked well enough for the opening forest setting with its sacred bough. But it was a set short for more indoor settings. Norma's two young children should not have had to sleep on the stage floor but in a home befitting a high priestess. Perhaps Lyric busted its budget with "Les Troyens" and needed to economize. Its one attempt at visual splendor was an impressive, oversize bull that appeared only at the end.
"Norma", however, is an opera that one attends less for scenery than to hear vocal fireworks, particularly in the title role. Judged in that regard, Lyric delivered handsomely.
There are five more opportunities to catch this pleasurable, seldom-performed, score. "Norma" runs through February 25 at the Civic Opera House. To order tickets, go to www.lyricopera.org.

Radamel Falcao is NOT for sale insists Monaco boss
Radamel Falcao is NOT for sale insists Monaco boss
Monaco manager Leonardo Jardim made it clear that star forward Radamel Falcao was not going anywhere. The Colombian has again been the subject of much transfer speculation, fuelled by compatriot James Rodriguez's comments that he'd like Falcao to follow him to Real Madrid.
"At this point Falcao is our player and he's with us 100 per cent and we don't want to let him go," Jardim said. "It's a pity we lost James but we can count on Falcao staying. Regardless of what people say, he's our player. He's in the final stages of his recovery and he'll be with us this season."
Monaco lost Rodriguez for a reported £63million but they will need to retain their remaining Colombian star if they are to survive their first Champions League group stage appearance in nine years. Falcao came off the bench for Dimitar Berbatov at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on Saturday, with Monaco trailing Valencia 2-1 in their Emirates Cup tie.
He was playing for the first time since suffering a knee injury in January that kept him out of the World Cup. He looked fit and eager to banish that heartache with a scoring return but instead it was fellow substitute Lucas Ocampos who pulled Monaco level with 10 minutes left.
After early chances at the start of the match for Valencia, Monaco took a shock lead when defender Aymen Abdennour headed in but a Ricardo Carvalho own goal made it 1-1 at the break. Valencia went ahead through Paco Alcacer in the 69th minute but couldn't hold onto the lead.

Bangladeshi tourism
Bangladesh is still one of the countries in the South Asian region with the least arrivals and the lowest revenue earned from the tourism industry, but the national tourism has since the 1990s been a small but rapidly growing sector of the economy. In the last years the country has several times attracted international recognition of its tourism potential:
2007: Sundarbans and Cox's Bazar two national destinations became candidates in Worldwide New7Wonders of Nature campaign
2008: Lonely Planet nominated Bangladesh as one of the top 10 interested countries 2009 and also published their 6th edition of their tourist guidebook 'Bangladesh'.
2009: Bradt Travel Guide published 1.st edition of their tourist guidebook 'Bangladesh'.
2009: Sundarbans was nominated one of the 28 Official Finalist Candidates in Worldwide New7Wonders of Nature campaign
2010: Bangladesh was nominated Number One Best Value Destination for 2011 by Lonely Planet.
2011: The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup was played in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. It was Bangladesh's first time co-hosting a World Cup.
2011:Sundarbans was nominated one of the top 14 Official Finalist Candidates in Worldwide New7Wonders of Nature campaign, but did not make it to the final Worldwide New7Wonders of Nature.
2012: The year of updated guide books: Bradt Travel Guide published 2ed edition of their tourist guidebook 'Bangladesh' and Lonely Planet published their 7th edition of their tourist guidebook 'Bangladesh'.
Bangladesh's first crowdsourced travel photography project was launced under the name Positive Light.
2014: The quality British national newspaper The Guardian newspaper has selected Bangladesh as a top 2014 destination.
Who are the Bangladeshi tourism stakeholders?
One of the goals of the Views On Tourism project is to facilitate networking and cooperation among national, regional and international players – but before cooperation is possible players need know of each other's existence. It is not always easy to get an overview at the multiple stakeholders related to the Bangladeshi tourism sector and a sustainable industry development; this was the reason for The Views On Tourism Project to initiate the creation of a national tourism industry overview. The target is to build an online accessible introduction to important and professional Bangladeshi tourism stakeholders', which hopefully will increase national and international interaction and sustainable development initiatives.
Please follow the links and search for further knowledge on the web-pages of the players mentioned. The information is sorted by categories and hereafter the related players are mentioned in alphabetic order.
How to add important national tourism players to this BD tourism overview
To become a part of the BD tourism overview, gather the requested data below and send it to Views On Tourism at email@example.com
To create an effective overview, which does not require constantly update on minor detail changes, the following data is being gathered: tourism sector category, name of tourism player, logo (jpg), webpage address, a short description of the tourism player (maximum 100 words!) and a public LinkedIn profile (only 1 profile pr. introduction!). The 'BD tourism' overview is mainly focusing on the following categories: Association, Information, Conservation, Higher Education and Public Authorities. The categories and players are chosen by Views On Tourism, but readers are kindly requested to assist with data input and corrections.

Sunday Morning training ride
This week we are back on for the Sunday morning training ride. 9.15am from the Town hall. This week's route is 90km and we are heading out Knutsford/Great Budworth, pretty much flat. We will have a press on up the wizard on the way back...a gradient which is steeper than I'd favour so I'll bring up the rear no doubt! Hopefully have a good group out again, see you then.
Re: Sunday Morning training ride
We are going to add some extra training rides in across the Christmas break (the words Festive 500 have been banded around in our household) and I also have dates for January onwards. We will slightly lose the every other week process due to some racing commitments but there will be 2 rides a month still. Dates below and to be on the calendar soon.
24th December
31st December
7th January
21st January
4th February
11th February
4th March
Re: Sunday Morning training ride
Good group out on this mornings training ride 12 in total, would have been 13 if Tom G had made it on time . We headed out via Radnor Bank, Smallwood around Sandbach & round the lanes through Middlewich & back up to Macc via Henbury.85km at 29km/h... I felt like I was swinging from the start perhaps thanks to Supacross or my dodgy wheel bearings but there were definitely some decent legs out there in the group. Thanks to Dave H's legs in particular for earning me a new QOM. We had a couple of punctures which resulted in a battle between youth and experience to get it fixed. Experience the victor on this occasion. My personal highlight was a wicked bunny hop from Eddie my personal low point was Steve attacking down into Prestbury just as my legs were leaving me. We are out again next week potentially Great Budworth Loop I think...
Re: Sunday Morning training ride
Hi Monica
What bike is appropriate for these rides?
Is a heavyish winter machine going to make it hard work
Presumably everyone needs mudguards and there are no actual race bikes out?
Re: Sunday Morning training ride
I think everyone who has one is on winter bike with mudguards. There's no flashy wheels or kit so just usual winter gear is fine. It will feel hard work but that's the desired aim
Re: Sunday Morning training ride
Having spent the last 3 days weather watching, I stuck to plan and we set out this morning for the latest Winter training ride. I think we had 11 to start. We had to adapt the route and stick to main roads. I spent most of the ride thinking where we we going next as we were on the hoof and you get places far quicker on the main roads! Was an enjoyable ride despite some delightful vocal Cheshire residents. Effort up the Wizard, I went hard from the bottom buoyed on by having my good bike out (winter machine broken) but Louis finally took the honours followed by Phil & Tom G. We are next out in 2 weeks time, 21st Jan
Sunday Morning training ride Cancelled
I've ummed and ahhed over the weather long enough. Forecast is for snow tomorrow morning and 1degree. May be ok as it has predicted snow for the last couple of days with none appearing but it may also be really bad. I'm going to call it and cancel the ride tomorrow. I'm going to head out on the MTB instead. If anyone is interested in coming out give me a shout. Hate to be soft but safety first.
Re: Sunday Morning training ride
We are due out for another Sunday training ride tomorrow. Weather looks dry but cold so will crack on as planner. Route will probably be using main roads to Knutsford, Holmes Chapel, Sandbach to keep off the lanes but will check in the morning. Target speed 29km/h. 3hrs long 85-90km distance. Press on up the last climb home. Hope to have a good group out again
Re: Sunday Morning training ride
We had a more compact group of 8 riders out on the Winter training ride this morning. I'd planned a mentally challenging route that was never that far from home but stayed on the main roads with us out early. There was indeed a bit of ice out as I felt under my wheels as we cut round the back of Wilmslow. Decent pace and a good bunch out. I think Jamie had 28.5km/h average but that was with a few drags and lumps through Henbury and up to Sutton. My legs actually felt good for approximately the first time since 2010 so apologies if I was guilty of any half wheeling...I blame Ollys influence. We are out again next week same place and time.
Re: Sunday Morning training ride
Winter training ride tomorrow unsurprisingly cancelled still snow and ice around so I'm sure everyone would prefer to stick to turbos or something with knobbly tyres. We can't even get in our garage for snow at the moment! That was planned to be the last winter training ride. May run similar rides in a pop up ride format if people are up for that at all during the summer but aware people have racing and other commitments in the summer.
Re: Sunday Morning training ride
Tomorrow we will re-start the Sunday morning training ride. We will start from the Town Hall at 9.15am. We will aim for an average speed of 30km/h but are usually around 29 by the time we arrive back in Macclesfield around 12pm. We will ride through so everyone gives turns & the route will be out into flatter Cheshire lanes and will be around 85km long. We will have a press on up the last climb home. Since we are starting earlier this year if the weather is good then no need for mudguards for the first ride but Mudguards required from Mid October. Please bring spares, cape etc. There is no stop on this ride. Tomorrow we will head out on a loop through Sandbach.
Dates for the Winter are as follows for these rides:
30th September
14th October
28th October
11th November
25th November
9th December
16th December
23rd December
Re: Sunday Morning training ride

Today I am going to discuss very sensitive topic affecting all parents.Your kids safety on social media.We heard a lot of crime and mishap because of social media misuse.As both major social media Facebook and twitter has 13 years of minimum age to create login, parents needs to be very careful about it.I am also going to discuss about some tools, which helps to monitor kids activity on social media and help parents to make their kids aware about social media drawbacks.I am dividing this in two parts, in this part, I am going to discus more in terms of Facebook and in next part I will discuss about risk of Twitter for your kids.
Lets first see some major incidents happens with kids because of misuse/ of social media:
Jalandhar, Punjab: Raksha Sharma, a student of computer engineering at the MCM Polytechnic College in Jalandhar, was found hanging from the ceiling fan in her hostel room on Tuesday morning. In that room was a suicide note. The 20-year-old blames two former students of the same college-both male- for harassing her and posting comments on Facebook that distressed her http://www.ndtv.com/article/cities/in-suicide-note-student-blames-facebook-comments-255172
17-year-old Aishwarya Dahiwal was told by her parents to focus on her college studies, and to not waste her time on the social network or on her cellphone. Instead of pouting, the girl hanged herself, leaving a suicide note asking, 'Is Facebook so bad? I cannot stay in a home with such restrictions and I can't live without Facebook.'

'Good morning…the journey of my life ends today': Student announces suicide on FB after scoring poor marks.Read more at: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/student-announces-suicide-on-facebook-hangs-himself-saurabh-gupta-poor-marks/1/291087.html
And the list goes on.If you search on internet there are lot of stories coming up in India like this.In most of cases teens got involved in Facebook crime or they became victim of the crimes.If you have a kid who is 13+ year old, you need to be very careful with what social media he/she is using, how often they uses and whether they understand how much they share.Parents should talk to their kids about it and make a guideline on how much they use social media and what is the boundary of sharing.Lets see some major attacks or problems might happens because of misuse of Facebook.
Less concentration on study – Not all but most of the kids use more time in social media and parents should track it.You cannot restrict it completely but surely you need to discuss the time your kids spent on it.It should never hampers their study.
Protect private information – Kids often not sure what and how much information should be shared with friends and outside world.Parent should talk with children and make sure they understand about their privacy.Many cases have been observed about privacy and information like phone numbers,photos etc have been misused.
– Latest addition in drawback of social media.It happens when when somebody intentionally try to harass you on social media by posting fake photographs,video,email, message, rumors and even fake profile.check out this video for more :
Adult content – Because of social media kids also tries to access adult or pornographic content which they should not.Unless you supervise your kids, it is impossible to track what keyword or content your kids is searching for.
Less time to play outdoor games – Even your kids is using social media in good way, still more usage of it means he/she will have less time to either play out or less time to study.
There are many tools nowadays available to track and monitor your kid's activity on internet.This is not any way to invade privacy as you never did this without telling your kids.There should be a agreed upon discussion with your kids where your explain these things with your kids and they are fully aware about this monitoring.They should be aware that these things are only done to protect and secure them from drawbacks of social media and never intrude or invasion in their privacy.Lets see some of them:
- Norton Family – A perfect software from Norton to monitor and tracking your kids activity.I like it most as it comes in both free and paid version.Its free version also contains many great features.Paid version will cost you around INR 3000($50).Lets see some of its features:
Screenretriever – This is another tool which offer same services but in a different way.This will capture your kids screen activity and keep them in a file which you can view later.It can provides a way to monitor your kids activity on social sites as well as well keep any eye on website they try to access and not only urls.This tools claims to stop all cyber bullying and pornography sites by allowing parents to see what their kids see.And also if kids always knows you are monitoring them, it decreases the chances of risk.The not so best part is it is not free and you need to spend around $50 to purchase it.It has also a full feature 7 days free trial. check out this video for more info:
Avira social network protection – Well this is another good tool.It comes free and keep an eye on your kids personal and public profile.It sends an alert to parent whenever it find some suspicious activity like cyber bullying, fake photo tagged etc.Besdies Facebook It also cover also other social sites like twitter,email, feeds etc.It requires either to provide your facebook access to this tool or it will send an email to your kids which they needs to accept and grant access of social sites to this tool.Check out here for more info.
Conclusion – It is a high time when we realize the impact of social media on our kids life.There is a age for everything and kids should understand it.Parent needs to guide their kids till 18 years after which they mature and ready to take decision themselves.Parent needs to discuss safety and risk issue with their kids and should make a standard rules and guidelines for using social media.Tools on the other hand lets you monitor kids activity to make sure they are on track and not misusing it.The whole aim of social media should be gives a medium to kids to interact with their friends and share stuff and not fall into some kind of trap.
Lets share how you protect your kids from bad sides of social media sites and what tool you use.Lets end this note with this video from CNet about dos and don'ts for your kids on Facebook.

Mel Duvall, a spokesperson for Husky Energy points to where a new 20-inch oil pipeline and 8-inch condensate line will cross the North Saskatchewan River as part of an $80 million project for Husky's midstream operations. GEOFF LEE LLS PHOTO
Husky Energy plans to route a new pair of oil and condensate pipelines across the North Saskatchewan River, as part of an $80 million Saskatchewan Pipeline Gathering System Project.
The routing of a 20-inch crude oil pipeline and an 8-inch condensate line was revealed during project open houses in Maidstone and at the Wild Rose Pavilion in Lloydminster last week.
The crossing point of the 52 kilometre long pipeline is downstream from where 225,000 litres of blended oil leaked from a break in Husky's 16-inch TAN (Tangleflags) pipeline in July 2016, spilling 90,000 litres of mixed oil into the river.
"We're going downstream, roughly four kilometres downstream, to a selected river crossing location where the banks are less steep; they are flatter banks," said Husky spokesperson Mel Duvall.
An existing TransGas pipeline crosses in that location, which was selected after a geotech drilling rig drilled both sides of the river and confirmed it as a stable location and an optimal point to cross.
Once the line is completed by the first quarter of 2019, Husky will decommission the repaired 16-inch TAN pipeline.
A Husky investigation into the spill determined a break in the TAN pipeline was caused by ground movement about 160 metres from the shoreline.
That pipeline has been operating since the Ministry of Environment gave the company the OK to restart it on Oct. 12, following repairs and the implementation of pipeline safety technology and reporting requirements.
"All the various improvements we put on the line including the fibre optic monitoring, thicker pipe, the various additional monitoring systems that we are putting on the repaired line, will be in place on this new line," said Duvall.
Fibre optic monitoring will be installed along the entire length of the pipeline from Lloydminster to the end point at Husky's Celtic Junction, along with 24/7 leak detection devices.
"So, we are doing high-grade steel, thicker wall thickness, we are taking a lot of our learnings from the 16-TAN and applying them to the 20-inch pipeline," said Duvall.
The original bore on the 16-inch TAN pipeline went from water edge to water edge, but the new set of lines will go from hilltop to hilltop on the banks.
The lines will be bored to a depth of 80 metres under the river.
"We're going very deep, all the way under and avoiding the geotechnical area," said Duvall. There will also be automated valve sites at both sides of the water crossing to isolate product.
Duvall said being able to operate the repaired 16-TAN line again significantly reduces the need for Husky to haul oil by truck, as they did when the line was out of order.
"Getting the line up and running allows us to get those trucks off the roads, particularly with winter coming on it's safer not to keep those trucks running," he said.
"We always need to do some trucking because our CHOPS wells still require some trucking, but this will alleviate a lot of that need."
Construction of the new pipeline project along with some other components is expected to start next summer, pending approval from Saskatchewan regulators-, and will take six months to complete.
