Lanu - Mosquito Coast / Eddit - Samba Do Bell (No Comply Remix)
(12") Freestyle Records FSR024, 2005-05-30
Tracklisting :
A1. Lanu - Mosquito Coast
B1. Eddit - Samba Do Bell (No Comply Remix)
Press Release :
Melbourne producer Lanu (Los Cabrones/The Bamboos) serves up a steaming hot pot of Latin-infused house flavours on his second outing for Freestyle. 'Mosquito Coast' is a deep, bass heavy house groove peppered with trumpet, Cuban montunos and a sublime McCoy Tyner-esque piano solo that will find favour with many a dancefloor this summer. On the flip, fellow Australian Eddit fires up the MPC along with a posse of local musicians par excellance to give you the mighty "Samba Do Bell". No Comply rework the track into a searing collision of broken samba patterns, horn stabs and a killer breakdown reminiscent of Spiritual Souths massive "Green Gold" track.

From Richmond, Virginia, USA:
My three year old son has had at least three major seizures in the last six months. Each time he begins to act whiny, then suddenly turns very white/blue, somewhat stiff backed, eyes open, sweats, and collapses without consciousness. He does not shake or convulse. It has been all times of day, and he gradually comes out of it, but he is very groggy for about 10-15 minutes. We practically forced fruit juice each time assuming low sugar, but there was no real reason his sugar should be extra low each of these times. Should we be concerned with epilepsy? He has taken many big bangs on the head as a toddler. Both my husband and I have been fainters -- I experience low blood sugar. My son's reactions seem so fast compared to my own, but maybe he is too young to understand the signs. What tests should we request?
You don't tell us whether or not your small son has diabetes. If this indeed the case, then the next step is to develop a rather complete profile of blood sugar levels over the 24 hours, and, with the help of his diabetes team, to work out what adjustments of insulin, dose, type and regimen together with changes in diet are needed to correct the problem.
If on the other hand your son does not have diabetes, a different approach is needed. The simplest explanation might be that these are what are called "febrile seizures", but the story you give does not suggest this. I think therefore that he needs to be seen by a pediatrician or a pediatric neurologist for a careful history and physical and then to have an EEG and probably a number of other studies done. The possibility of hypoglycemia for some other reason will certainly be on the list of possible diagnoses.

even though these eyes cannot see you
sitting in the empty chair across from me
why does my heart not delve headlong
into the entirety of what you have done for me?
the wounds, the tears, the sweat poured like blood
what else did you do to return me to the light
did you picture me when all was going dim?
did you see all I had done before I met you
as the soldiers thrust a spear into your side
as your breath became shorter and your vision dimmed
the wrath I caused fell on you and drew you beneath
a brimstone river, courtesy of future words one day I'd speak
against You and Your love, when I was on the other side
or did you see the redemption you held in store for me?
why do I not sense as clearly as I might
this returning Warrior who may still bear scars, showing
plainly by the light of your heart what you endured to save me
why do I not leap at once into your spiritual embrace?
why so often do I turn away and pretend to be more interested
in what's going on outside the window, how the rain falls
instead let me close my eyes, focus on your long-ago darkness
that empty space of being forsaken by God
then followed by sheer triumph of judgment and love
in that darkened room I finally seek you
in solemn stillness without echo I will understand a tiny fraction
yet enough to stop me in my runnings and pull me back
darkness was your constant friend for me, You the Everything
condensed yourself into this poor flesh to take my hand
guide me off this quaking balcony of certain death
convince me you're real and hold nothing but love in that offer
outstretched across the heavens and time itself
and no more will I forget how you rescued me

(The ten best comedies of 2012 were revealed on Hulu's homepage this week. This is the final day. To view the rest of the list, click here.)
2 – Louie
Since the parallels are easy, a lot of critics say this is the Seinfeld of this century. Both are comedians at their peaks trying to tell the truth about themselves.
This is not our Seinfeld. Seinfeld lived in a box impervious to the true stresses of everyday life. There was no genuine quest for identity seeking, there was no custody finagling, there was no worry that rent would genuinely not get paid. All of that is in Louie, and some of that is rattling around in the heads of all of us right now.
We don't have the option to drop everything and go to China. Characters on TV shows have the option to drop everything and go to China for us, just to show us what it would look like. Louie's not just good. Louie's important.—Ben Collins

Hot Lego Deals – How To Get the Best Deals!
Stock the gift closet, for less!
My kids just absolutely LOVE Lego sets! For any gift-giving occasion (like birthdays or Christmas), Lego sets are a safe bet and happily received. And really my whole family loves these toys, with Dad in the lead. Lego sets don't go on sale very often, so when one of the sets you want is discounted, you should snatch it up! To me, anything 20% off or more on Lego sets is GREAT!
See the Current Lego Deals
However, sometimes (especially around holidays) some of the individuals selling Lego Sets aren't honest. Here are a couple of ways to tell right away if you are getting scammed! Here are the tricks I use to be a Frugal Lego Deal Finder!
Tips and Tricks
- Check The LEGO Shop! They tell you right up front what the price SHOULD be!
- If it doesn't have a List Price, you are either paying retail, or getting scammed. The picture below shows you what the
scammersinflated price looks like, and the 2nd example shows you what a real sale looks like. You can't mess with the list price on things, but you can make it disappear from the item you are selling.
- Always look for a piece count. The going price on Lego sets is about $10 per 100 pieces, give or take a little. However, when you don't see a piece count, you can't use that to judge. People spend a lot of time using photo shop to make the Lego sets they are selling at an inflated price seem awesome!
- For both of these examples, my inflated product was the LEGO Castle King's Carriage Ambush 7188. It does list the item number, so a quick hop over to the The LEGO Shop, and I can do a search by item number (7188), but nothing came up. So then I hop onto Google, and do an image search and it shows me it had 285 pieces. That means it should be somewhere in the $20-$30 range, not almost $50! However, it did also tell me that this is a retired product, so yes, some collectors are willing to pay more, and that's what the seller is hoping for.
We love bringing you the best of the best LEGO deals!
But there are a TON of options! Instead of having you scroll through 50-100 different sets that could be on sale at any given time, they are sorted by major LEGO theme! Did we miss a set? Please let us know in the comments! We'll be happy to add it!

Here's how you can build a fun Lego display shelf!
Love this cute DIY Lego table!
Thanks for sharing the info about $10/100 legos; I almost purchased a 188 piece set for $48, thinking it was much more than it really was!! Really appreciate the wakeup call; not everything on Amazon is a deal!
I'm so glad you found the information useful!!! I'm eventually going to turn it into a pretty graphic, but for now just wanted to get the info out there! Amazon is GREAT, MOST of the time 🙂 But especially with hot items like this, you have to be careful 🙂
Thanks for the great Lego info. My son desperately wants the Minecraft regular sets(not the Micro Worlds) but they're sold out at all brick and mortar stores/normal web stores. I just can't convince myself to pay more despite how much he wants it.
Sadly, I think just about everywhere is sold out, or WAY overpriced for Minecraft now 🙁
Yep! Pretty much anyway. Lego added them back to their website but they won't ship until at least Dec. 29th. 🙁 May buy them anyways and print the picture and tell him that they'll be here shortly after Christmas.
The Lego store would be my best guess as well. They take about a week to get the stuff to you, so if it ships on the 29th, it'll probably be to you by the 5th or so.
This is awesome just like Lego is. My kids love to play with it for hours and hours but to be honest most times I think Lego is so expensive! Thanks!
I <3 legos!! And love getting them at a discount!!
[…] Hot Lego Deals – Save 20-50% […]
[…] are now many Mega Bloks building sets geared toward the older children too! Cheaper than most Legos too. Check out some of these Mega Bloks deals available right now! These make such great gift ideas […]
[…] also have a whole post dedicated to Lego deals that beat Lego store prices by at least […]
[…] pay more than that. When we put this list together it was $119 on Amazon! See how to tell What's a Great Deal for Lego's on Amazon. But if you find it for less than that on Amazon, get it fast, because this is it's first […]

| Ok, has anyone done anything to replace that damn black rubber goop that surrounds the dash panel on the driver's side? I'm considering tearing it all out and putting in a new dash piece with real hardwood.
And while I'm at it - the damn headlight and hazard switches that keep pushing out might need to be replaced with really nice lighted toggle switches. And the clock can be replaced with a 'modern' one that works!
I can't see replacing the rubber moulding that keeps falling down and hitting my knee with more of the same. I haven't priced it yet at Delta but I'm betting it's not cheap.
Has anyone done anything nice (and possibly have a good pattern so I don't have to make one!!) that they would like to share?

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Inc. (PETA) has filed a lawsuit against Whole Foods Market claiming the grocery chain's "5-Step® Animal Welfare Rating System" is a "sham" because Whole Foods fails to enforce the program against its chicken, turkey, pork and beef suppliers. PETA v. Whole Foods Mkt., Inc., No. 15-4301 (N.D. Cal., filed September 21, 2015).
The complaint asserts that "the entire audit process for Whole Foods' animal welfare standards is a sham because it occurs infrequently and violations of the standards do not cause loss of certification. Indeed, a supplier can be out of compliance for multiple years without losing its certification." Further, the certification standards "barely exceed common industry practices, if at all." The complaint coincides with an investigative report from PETA that purportedly exposes several program violations at a Pennsylvania pig farm that supplies to Whole Foods.
"'Humane meat' is a myth that dupes well-intentioned shoppers into paying higher prices for the very products of crowding, lingering death, and suffering that they were trying to avoid," PETA Foundation Director of Animal Law Jared Goodman said in a September 21, 2015, blog post about the lawsuit. The organization and its co-plaintiff, a woman who has shopped at Whole Foods, seek class certification, declaratory judgment, an injunction and damages for allegations of California's consumerprotection statutes.

For those people who really know their way around a kitchen, healthful and sustainable foods will often have a home in the pantry no matter what sort of loops the economy is going through.
I'm thinking, specifically, of the readers of culinary sites and publications like Allrecipes.com, which recently shared with SN the results of its end-of-the-year audience poll. Not surprisingly, the majority of these spatula-wielding consumers said they're eating out less (73%). More inclined than ever to cook and eat at home, most of them are buying the same amount or more of organic and natural food, and close to half say they're picking out sustainably grown food and seafood. The biggest change, however — and this shouldn't surprise you readers of Whole Health and Refresh.com — is with locally grown food. Forty six percent said they've bought more local items this year than last year.
All told, 86% of Allrecipes.com readers say they're buying locally grown these days. Coming from culinary adventurers, this speaks to the freshness of ingredients that skip the long haul. It could also speak to the value of these products, since, when supermarkets get the logistics right, they can end up being close to the same price or even cheaper than their conventional counterparts.
Many at-home cooks understand that, although healthful and sustainable items might cost more, their wellness benefits have tremendous value. Supermarkets should follow their lead — and don't forget to look over their shoulder while they're at it: Nearly 70% of Allrecipes' readers say they're shopping at farmer's markets.

Let's face it, David's life was a tragic soap opera to watch. It's no wonder he had a lot of problems as an adult: what kind of kid turns out normal after he's killed a giant, worked for someone who wants to kill him, and spends most of his young adult years as a refugee in exile?
Ah, but there's a silver lining tying it all together: I'm talking of course about Saul's son, Jonathan, who Scripture says loved David "as his own soul." After defeating Goliath, Saul takes David under his wing, and gives him responsibility on a national scale. David quickly gains an even greater reputation than the king, prompting Saul to turn sour with jealousy, and in a fit of rage, attempt to take David's life. He ends up running from Saul for multiple years, before he eventually is crowned king of Israel after Saul's death.
I encourage everyone to read the whole thing, starting in 1 Samuel 17, and ending in 2 Samuel 1. It's a wild ride. But for those primarily interested in the bromance, check out 1 Samuel 18-20, then skip to 2 Samuel 1. Both before and during Saul's pursuit of David, Jonathan works behind the scenes, and alongside his beloved, to avert disaster and diffuse the situation. David and Jonathan make covenantal bonds together, they tie their families together with multi-generational promises, they laugh and cry together, they kiss, they embrace, they fall at each others' feet, they say goodbye then meet spontaneously again, and at the end (spoiler alert!), Jonathan dies in battle, along with his father and two brothers. David, when he hears this news, tears his clothes, fasts, and writes a lamenation called The Song of the Bow.
In this poem, which he commands the people of Judah to learn and repeat, David says this about Jonathan:
"Jonathan lies slain upon your high places.
26 I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan;
greatly beloved were you to me;
your love to me was wonderful,
passing the love of women."
Sure, David calls Jonathan a "brother," which isn't exactly a romantic moniker. And sure, maybe all he meant by his love "passing the love of women" was that he was more ~emotionally close~ with Jonathan than with any of the women he slept with or married (since, you know, marriage wasn't for love back then, and women were seen as literally inferior beings).
But I'd ask you to hold your dismissal, and read the passage again in light of the suggestion that David and Jonathan were a thing. Read it with lgbt people in mind; your friend or relative. Read it as a soap opera, with fictional characters whose silly drama is a broad-stroke caricature of real life narratives. Whatever helps you imagine what it could mean for an lgbt person if David and Jonathan were connected in that way.
That's what we did at Soulforce this summer: during our VBS, our spiritual strategist Alba Onofrio set our sights on dismantling the structures that weaponize Christianity against lgbt folks, and helped us move towards liberating our bodies, decolonizing our minds, and healing our souls.
This is deep spirit work, and it was hard. I'd been avoiding reading large portions of Scripture for a long time, because the tension and exhaustion I knew I would feel would be too much. As much as I love meeting God in the pages of the Bible, most of the time I flip through certain verses and texts it's in order to defend my existence, and justify my life choices to people who want to control what I do with my body.
But in the right context, spoken by a friend for the purpose of building up, not tearing down, Alba's voice breathed new life into sacred text, and I was released into the gift of tears. I looked into the terrible, dramatic, heart-wrenching soap opera of David's exile, and saw myself in Jonathan, willing to give my life for a boy I loved, to fight for him until death do us part. I looked into a sacred story, and saw my own reflected in its depths. I felt Scripture as life-giving once again.
It's hard to overstate the importance of good representation for lgbt folks. I don't just mean the representation we see in Hollywood (while lgbt actors have careers, most lgbt characters pander to stereotypes). I mean representation in life. Can we look around and see viable models of lgbt people in relationship with each other? Can we look at our churches and see lgbt people perfectly integrated in all positions? Can we look backwards, and see our stories in the pages of history?
Straight folks take this representation for granted, so it's difficult sometimes to truly perceive the cavernous gap between the world as they see it, and the world from our eyes. But bridging that gap is possible, and in fact necessary if the church is to remain relevant in a changing culture (and by "remain relevant," I mean survive).
To be honest, I had encountered in passing the argument that "David and Jonathan were gay!" as a justification for pro-gay theology, during my evangelical days. It struck me at the time as grandstanding, disingenuous, and manipulative of the "plain sense" reading of Scripture. While I obviously think very differently today, I'm not actually saying I firmly believe and am convinced that David and Jonathan can be called gay by our modern standards (David was actually bisexual–bisexuals exist too!). In fact, that kind of black-and-white thinking is exactly what I'm trying to say is stifling, obstructive, and life-draining.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter exactly what happened between David and Jonathan; whether they had sex or not, whether David reciprocated Jonathan's feelings or not, whether Jonathan, were he alive today, would classify those feelings as romantic or sexual.
Simply allowing for that possibility is enough for lgbt people like me to take a shuddering breath, to feel a release from the pressure we've fought against for so many years.
It's like insisting that unicorns are mentioned in the Bible: it's a fun mental exercise, used to reveal the insipid legalism in much of the evangelical mindset. We can't know either way; the point of it all is to maintain space for mystery, to entertain the possibility that maybe there's more to life than we realize, more than what fits into our comfortable binaries and our social institutions.
But I do have to leave with an observation: not all God's children are born with gaydar. If the straights can't be trusted to recognize rainbow people when we march across the pages of fiction (my entire English class once protested of the blatantly lesbian Annie John "but some gals are pals, it's just hard to tell!"), can we really trust them with any other literary or historical figures?

British Red Cross
British Red Cross offers first aid advice ahead of Bonfire Night
Press Release • Nov 02, 2011 11:05 GMT
Students from Castle View Enterprise Academy in Sunderland will on Thursday (3 November 2011) learn and share a unique first aid and fire safety workshop from the British Red Cross.
The programme is part of a wider project which has seen the British Red Cross team up with Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, to teach thousands of children and young people in the North East, life-saving skills to stay safe this Bonfire Night.
Mel Williams, youth and schools manager for the Red Cross in the North East says over 3,500 children and young people from schools across the North East will have learnt fire safety tips and basic first aid skills from the charity by 5 November (Bonfire night).
She said: "The workshops make it really easy for young people to learn vital first aid skills, like how to deal with burns or call the emergency services.
"The children have really enjoyed learning first aid and said they felt confident they would know what to do if a friend or family member needed help. We're delighted that they want to try and pass on what they have learnt to others so they can stay safe too," Mel explained.
The British Red Cross has also been campaigning to get the government to adopt first aid and humanitarian education in the schools curriculum. The charity has launched an online petition, allowing teachers and parents to register their support with a call to their local MPs, hoping to persuade politicians of the importance of a fully rounded education.

Jackie Smith, Beyond School Leader at Castle View Enterprise Academy said: "Bonfire Night is a really exciting time for young people, but it is also important that they are taught how to enjoy it safely and what to do if things go wrong. The first aid workshops with the Red Cross gave them the life skills to keep themselves safe and help others."
"All teachers can access free lessons to teach children to stay safe and help others, from the Red Cross Life. Live it. website: redcross.org.uk/teachchildrenfirstaid "
Meanwhile, the British Red Cross have come up with some Bonfire themed tips to help keep everybody safe:
Scorched, singed and sizzling! That's what someone's skin will be doing if they come into contact with the hot and sparkly bit. Just to add to the 'ssssssss' there will probably be screams as well!
Put the burned area under cold running water as soon as possible for at least 10 minutes - yes 10 minutes! This will stop the 'cooking' effect
Any cold liquid will do if you do not have access to water. For example a glass of squash or a cold beer – oh come on, there's plenty more!
Refrain from putting any lotions, creams, butter or oils on the burn, they will not help the situation and may cause more pain if they have to be removed later on
Keep calm! Especially if helping someone else – panicking will get you nowhere
Loosely wrap cling film around the burn, or use a clean plastic bag, to protect the area from infection.
Every child that receives a burn should be checked over by a medical professional. For adults, seek medical advice if you are overly concerned
Remember, remember the 5th of November….. is a time to have fun and enjoy yourself. To ensure that your fireworks night goes off with a bang, brush up on your first aid skills at www.redcross.org.uk/everydayfirstaid so that everyone is safe.
The Red Cross' free online resource features videos, real-life scenarios, animations and downloadable content which is easy to learn and easy to remember. It can be accessed online at redcross.org.uk/everydayfirstaid.

Now we can play eat poop you cat when we're not at a nodermeet!
Drawception is quite literally an online version of "Eat Poop You Cat" coded by web developer Reed Lakefield and found at http://drawception.com/ . It is currently in beta. Drawception currently requires you to register through your profile on a social media site, either facebook, y!, Google +, or twitter. Upon registration, it assigns you a random username based on your info, but that can be changed to your preferred handle in settings.
The game works just like its pencil and paper ancestor, one player starts a game writing a phrase, then the next one must draw a picture, then the next must describe the picture, and so on. Each "play" has a 10 minute timer, and you can skip prompts if you want. Games are 12 rounds (6 text, 6 pictures) by default, but can be increased to 18. Only after the game is completed can you see everyone's plays. The site uses a karma system where your contributions get upvoted or downvote. At first, you can only contribute to existing games, but after you have achieved a karma of 10, you can create new games. A newly added feature allows users to create private games and only play with their friends.

Ovarian cancer is the abnormal growth and division of cells in the ovary. The tumour can invade local areas and spread to other areas of the abdomen.
Those with a family history of ovarian cancer and also those with a family history of some other cancers such as breast, bowel and endometrial.
Ovarian cancer is difficult to diagnose because the ovaries are an inaccessible organ hidden deep within the pelvis and because there are no symptoms until the later stage. At the later stage symptoms include abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea or pain during intercourse.
The tests you can have done at the clinic are:
Whilst neither of these tests alone or together are completely reliable, they can at least go some way to alleviating worry regarding problems with the ovaries, especially if repeated checks are performed for comparison (serial testing).
The findings will be explained to you and you will be referred immediately to one of our specialist gynaecologists depending upon the nature of the cysts. In many circumstances endometriosis cysts can look like early cancers, and it is important to remember that the majority of these cysts will be benign. Nevertheless, it is important to have them
checked out.

Career as a Signalling technical engineer
Steven Anderson is a signalling technical engineer working in London on the Eurostar fleet. The Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) is the UK's first major new railway for more than a century. Eurostar, who operate the link, use five different signalling systems including an in-cab system, which gives the driver information via a display in the cab.
What does your job involve?
I am involved in updating and writing new technical documents for the shop floor. I oversee the modifications of the signalling systems on the Eurostar fleet, and am also involved in the testing and commissioning of new signalling equipment. I am responsible for fault finding and safety critical assessments, and also assess engineers on safety critical aspects of their day-to-day role.
Do you have a typical day?
Not really, my job varies from day to day, as I am involved in such a range of work.
What equipment do you use?
I use my PC and a selection of signalling test equipment. This includes various test boxes such as the TVM 430 in-cab signalling system which monitors the speed of the train at high speed in the UK and France.
Why did you choose this type of work as a Signalling technical engineer?
I chose this as a career because I find engineering interesting and feel that there is a serious lack of qualified engineers in the UK.
How did you become a Signalling technical engineer?
I started as an apprentice with Thames Water, where I achieved my NVQ Level 3 in Mechanical Electrical Maintenance. At the end of my Apprenticeship I joined Eurostar as an engineer on the shop floor carrying out corrective and preventative maintenance on the Class 373 fleet. After four years on the shop floor I felt it was time to move and I was promoted to the role of a technical engineer.
What training have you received?
When I started with Eurostar I was placed on a six-week introduction to the organisation and then introduced to my team. I went on a variety of courses covering different parts of the train throughout my time on the shop floor. Finally, I was promoted to the technical engineering section from which I was placed on an assessor's course as well as a train-the-trainer course.
What do you like best about your career as a Signalling technical engineer?
I enjoy the interaction with the shop floor and being a point of contact if there are any issues with the signalling systems.
What skills and qualities do you need?
You need to have the ability to interact with the engineers on the shop floor, to be approachable and open to constructive criticism.
What are your long-term career goals?
I am studying for a Degree in Engineering with the Open University. As a long-term goal I will be looking to become a chartered engineer and possibly look to consultancy.
Steven's route to his career as a Signalling technical engineer
- GCSEs.
- NVQ Levels 1, 2 and 3 in Mechanical/Electrical Maintenance.
- City & Guilds CAD/CAM.
- City & Guilds CNC Part Programming.
- National Certificate in Electromechanical Engineering.
- HND in Electro-mechanical Engineering.
Steven's Signalling technical engineer tips
- Remain focused even when people around you take you for granted.
- Aim high and never underestimate yourself.
- Stand your ground and prove your point constructively if you feel you're right.
Signalling technical engineer related jobs
- Electrical engineer
- Electrician
- Electronics engineer
- Engineering maintenance technician
- Railway fitter/electrician
- Telecommunications technician
Salary of a Signalling technical engineer
- New entrants earn around £13,000 a year.
- Experienced technicians earn about £22,000 a year and senior technicians may earn around £30,000.
Career as a Signalling technical engineer
- Entry may be directly from school or via an Apprenticeship, or by transfer from related work in the engineering or electronics field.
- The normal entry route is as an apprentice. Most apprentices join between 16 and 18, but it is possible to join at any age up to 25. Entry requirements between different Apprenticeships vary, but are normally four GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3) including maths, English and science or technology, or equivalent qualifications. Apprentices work towards NVQs/SVQs at Level 3.
- The selection process includes a medical examination for physical fitness, eyesight and hearing, and alcohol and drug screening. There is a rigid policy on drug and alcohol misuse, and random tests may be conducted at any time. An aptitude test or an assessment of existing knowledge and skills may also be required.

Hiking Lily Mountain Trail with a Dog
My family was looking for a nice hike we could do with our 8 and 9 year old children and our dog. Dogs are not allowed on the trails within Rocky Mountain National Park, however the Lily Mountain Trail is just outside the park in the Roosevelt National Forest. This made it an ideal hike for our family to take together. It was a very sunny day in mid-March with a lot of wind.
There aren't many parking spots at the Lily Mountain Trailhead - it can only accommodate 10 or so cars. If there isn't any parking available at the trailhead, you can drive about 400 yards up the road and park in the Lily Mountain Lake parking lot and then walk down the road to the trailhead.
The path was mostly out of the wind with a majority winding among the pine trees, leaving glimpses of Twin Sister's.
There were several parts of the path that didn't have snow, especially towards the beginning of the trail, however the further up we got the more snow there was on the ground. If you go in early spring, it's definitely helpful to have poles and good shoes.
At the top of the trail, the last few feet, you have to scramble up a bunch of boulders.
The 360° view from the top is definitely worth the hike. It took our family about 4.5 hours round-trip, with lots of stops along the way for the kids to play and catch their breath. Below are pictures taken from the top of the Twin Sisters, Estes Cone & Long's Peak, and Lake Estes.

Can a time out save us time?
Whether we are dealing with commonly recognised major stressors (causes of stress such as loss, divorce, marriage and so on), preparing Christmas lunch for the in-laws or sat all day with nothing to do, stress manifests itself in more or less the same way we:
- become argumentative, snappy
- sleep badly, feel tired, develop aches and pains
- relax our appearance
- start drinking more alcohol, overeat, smoke or take drugs whether prescribed or recreational.
If stress has kept our species alive by enabling us to fight or flee when we perceive danger, it may be true that stress is also killing us in many ways. 60 to 90 per cent of visits to the GP have been linked to stress and these include the four main killers in the western world; heart disease, cancer, stroke and adult onset type 2 diabetes.
The fact is in our civilization, stress results from more than being chased by a pack of hungry dogs. We also become stressed when we have too much work to do with too little time or resources; or too little work and too much time and resources. Perhaps we just can't get a grip on our emotions, feelings and confidence. In fact everything can cause us stress and then we stress about that too!
Then we fall into chronic stress: our excessive production of sugars and adrenaline may now provoke a vicious cycle of highs and lows that can develop into serious health issues. This is because energy is needed to maintain a state of stress. In this state we tend to shut down other mechanisms: our immune system becomes low, libido, humour, patience and energy levels may suffer with consequences to our family and social life.
The neo-cortex, where higher functions of the brain occur, is shut down. Abstract thought, imagination, creative thinking, solution making, human language, consciousness, all that could help us resolve stress in an effective way may also shut down when we are stressed.
Our reptilian brain takes over and we live to stay alive. No matter how much time we spend working on something, we seem to make very little progress. We consume huge amounts coffee, sugars, maybe alcohol and smoke a few cigarettes to keep us going, then we realise these didn't work. After all, these are stimulants and all they do is fuel our state of stress.
So, it may just be that we need time out to switch brains, time to relax. Relaxing will put us in the right mindset to make changes, find solutions and resolve tasks in a creative way. This is where hypnotherapy can really help.
Hypnotherapy has not only shown great success in helping to make wanted changes at the deepest subconscious level, but is also a naturally relaxing technique. This puts hypnotherapy in a privileged position when dealing with anxiety and stress.
It really looks like taking some time out to relax, may just save us time.

Corporate Governance With Reference to the Role of Whistleblowing in Malaysia (cet.2)
Availability: In Stock
- 118 pages (paperback)
- Hazlina Shaik Md Noor Alam & Hasani Mohd Ali
Corporate governance has now become a new paradigm of good responsible corporate
business. As companies grow in strength and numbers in a variety of areas, good
corporate governance becomes vital. While corporate governance was originally
steeped in traditional company laws, it has now broadened to encompass greater areas
of concern. It is now no longer enough that corporate governance be limited within
one's own company, but must also take into account how it could affect the public.
Companies as corporate citizens must act responsibly, in accordance with the laws and be
accountable for their acts or omissions. Corporate accountability is an essential feature
of corporate governance, as companies must now be held accountable for their own
actions. In this respect, whistleblowing was been shown to be instrumental in enhancing
corporate accountability, thus achieving good corporate governance, and acts as a tool to
prevent and report any untoward activities. This realisation has now resulted in strong
legislative and judicial support for whistleblowing in many countries. These include,
but are not limited to, the UK, US and Malaysia. Experiences of countries having
good whistleblowing laws have shown that many legal issues must be resolved before
whistleblowing laws can be effectively implemented, especially issues of breach of duty
of confidentiality, malicious whistleblowing and liability for defamation. Malaysia's
very own whistleblowing law, the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 draws upon such

December 30, 1998 The international Space station is supposed to be a place of international cooperation. Over 16 countries have come together to build the new ISS. Amateur Radio operations have always been supporters of international cooperation. However the creation of ARISS, is just one big monopoly of AMSAT, SAREX and SAFEX clubs. A monopoly who=92s primary goal is to prevent independent experienced satellite clubs from participating in space. This following statement from Thomas Kieselbach, proves my earlier memo= about SAFEX=92s lack of willingness to cooperate with other independent clubs= . excerpt from Thomas memo This stimulated us to develop a new power supply for the Russian 2 mete= r ham station in a very short time without having any special contract and ex= tra money. This is the reason why the spare power supply has not been sent = to Russia but held by us. Otherwise it would have been used without our knowledge for the SSTV equipment and could not have been considered as = a spare for the space-based one. *** This statement proves: 1. The spare power supply is just sitting on a shelf in Germany. 2. SAFEX refuses to release or sell the power supply. (my contacts in Moscow told me the power supply is owed to Moscow, however even though I was told t= his more than one time, there still could be a language translation error). 3. SAFEX=92s reason for not delivering is because they do not want a NON-AMSAT club to be helped by SAFEX. The attitude displayed by SAFEX is similar to the general attitude of ARISS. Cooperation and good will world wide are not ARISS primary goals. It is more impor= tant for ARISS/AMSAT to maintain a monopoly in space than it is to help other independent cl= ub. It is because of the actions of ARISS over the past two years that Ener= gia has taken sets to prevent ARISS from running ISS. ARISS is only managing the American side of ISS. Energia is maintainin= g full jurisdiction of all projects including Amateur Radio projects which are using any of th= e Russian antenna ports. If ARISS and SAFEX continue with their uncooperative monopolistic aptitude, there is the strong is a possibility that NASA and Energia could get tired of all of the arguments and just terminate all projects. It is still possible to rebuild ARISS in to a public independent orgiznations, who=92s goals are to foster education programs and good will. Sincerely G.

I don't know how she's past child services' inspections. I was sent here by my mother. She could not afford to take care of both of us after my dad left. It was the hardest thing my mom ever had to do. There are only two things in this world that can make me smile anymore, music and art. I am in love with music. Art is more of a hobbie. Although, the one thing I want more than anything is to get out of this place.

[Taryn/Shona] mortal world loving fairy
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you share a typical day in your life?
[Taryn/Shona] Pre or post Annwyn? Before going to Annwyn my day was normal, I was like any other twenty something. I went to work, much to my parents horror, made friends but never let them too close in case they worked out that I didn't really belong in the mortal world. It's a bit hard to have people round when you don't actually have a house and your just kind of lodging in someone else's. My parents are Brownies, which is basically fairy house cleaners, for a changeling.Read more

Jackie Robinson speaks before the House Un-American Activities Committee, July 18, 1949. (AP Photo/William J. Smith)
I'm both excited and apprehensive about the upcoming Jackie Robinson biopic, 42. I'm excited because any high-profile film and attendant discussion about the man Martin Luther King, Jr., called "a freedom rider before freedom rides" should be a positive. I'm excited because the film might stir people to read brilliant books like Jules Tygiel's Baseball's Great Experiment, Chris Lamb's Blackout and Arnold Rampersand's Jackie Robinson: A Biography. I'm apprehensive because we know what Hollywood does to history. It's not unlike what a monster truck does to a ferret: leaving it flattened and unrecognizable with all its sharp teeth knocked out. Historical movies about sports and the triumph over racism are often even worse. Films like Glory Road or Remember the Titans follow the s-i-c formula: segregation, integration, celebration. In a biopic of the man who broke baseball's color barrier, that formula would be particularly ironic since Jackie Robinson was doubting his own integrationist belief in the better angels of this country at the end of his life.
I will watch 42 with an open mind. However, here in advance are five aspects of Jackie Robinson's tumultuous, politically complicated life story I fear won't make the film's final cut.
1. Branch Rickey was no saint. Based upon previews, it certainly appears that the hero of 42 will be not only Jackie Robinson, but Brooklyn Dodgers boss Branch Rickey played by Indiana Jones himself, Harrison Ford. Yet Rickey, while brave in bringing Robinson to the majors, hopefully will not be exempt from criticism. He is what Melissa Harris-Perry would call "an imperfect ally." Rickey was responsible for Robinson's entry in the majors. He also bears a great deal of weight for the implosion of the Negro Leagues, after Robinson made his debut in 1947.
The Negro Leagues weren't just a place of thwarted ambitions for the country's best African American players. They were also the largest national black-owned business in the country. Black owners, bookkeepers, trainers, coaches, and groundspeople were all part of what was a source of economic power, pride and self-sufficiency. Yet Rickey was ruthless in his dealings with Negro League owners, publicly claiming no obligation to compensate teams for signing away their talent. That became the pattern as Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and many more were signed out of the Negro Leagues and this infrastructure of black economic power rotted away, creating a racial power imbalance in sports that persists to this day. Rickey's pilfering, layered with a public campaign of denigration, set the Negro Leagues on the road to ruin.

On Friday, June 11th, Disney California Adventure (formally Disney's California Adventure) will officially open the Silly Symphony Swings and The World of Color. The World of Color is a nighttime water show, like the one in Vegas, which is DCA's new "kiss goodnight", much like the Electrical Parade was and the fireworks and Fantasmic are for Disneyland. I've now seen it twice and have decided with the opening so close to give my opinion and talk a little bit about what to expect. Now if you want you can go online and check out YouTube where some people have recorded the show from their hotel rooms but you won't get the full effect. Like watching fireworks online you, firstly, don't have the experience of being there seeing it with your own two eyes and trust me that's the way you have to see it.
Growing up in Southern California, I have been able to grow up with Disneyland. One of my first memories is The Main Street Electrical Parade. It will always hold a special place in my heart and will always to me be apart of the Disneyland nostalgia. Apparently this was true for many others because after it's departure from Disneyland in 1996 it was moved to DCA and stayed there for years. They even revamped it and had it as part of what Disney calls their summers, Summer Nightastic.
Another part of Nightastic is Fantasmic, hence the name. This show I didn't see until a couple years ago and was mildly impressed. The show has been at the park since 1992 but for some reason never got around to seeing it. Maybe because it was always around the time of the fireworks and I would always choose them over it but during one of the viewings I saw a mom getting really into the show. So much so she was moving her arms like she was conducting the water herself and embarrassing her kids. She wasn't that much older than me and I realized she must hold the same nostalgia for this as I do with the Electrical Parade.
There is a reason these shows have been at the park for so long. Fantasmic has been there for 18 years, the Parade, off and on, for almost 40 years and the Fireworks have been there for almost 55 years. So here's the big question, my point for talking about these shows when I'm here to talk about World of Color, does the World of Color belong on the list of classic Disney/Disneyland shows that a kid who will visit the park next week for the first time in his life look back 20+ years from now and say I love Disneyland because when I was a kid I saw The World of Color and fell in love? Well obviously we will have to wait 20 years for that but it is in my opinion that this show has a strong chance.
Disney California Adventure has always had the running joke of it being a less than adequate sister park to the original. Well it's not really a joke. Disneyland USA is unlike any other park in the world and I'm including the other "Magic Kingdoms". While other parks are bigger and some have cooler rides, Disneyland has a history and warmness that cannot be replicated. Like the decade it came out of, it's a huge piece of American Pie.
I have a few friends who don't get it. They say Magic Mountain is a better park…well it's not. And whenever I say well the rides might be cooler, they reply what else is there. Well everything. Would Six Flags worry what could we do to give a greater guest experience? Do people from out of state or even country dream of one day visiting Knott's Berry Farm? Does Make-a-Wish hear people say I want to go to Universal Studios? Probably not.
Now taking all that into consideration. 15 years ago when Eisner and the imagineers decided to turn Disneyland into a multiday resort, they did it kind of "half assed". The original idea was for a west coast EPCOT (WESTCOT). When that fell through, someone suggested California as a theme but forgot to realize that with the park being in California it wasn't something new. When Disneyland was built you couldn't go to a castle in California or take a rocket to the moon. You can drive another 30 miles and see the real Hollywood or just down the street and see the beach.
So with DCA being a flop and while under new management, ideas were once again thrown around. One idea I heard was a Pixar park and with how many Pixar references there are already it would have been an easy transition. Instead they went with a $1.1 Billion renovation. Paradise Peer is almost finished but there is still 2 years of changes to come.
As someone who has seen some of the things they are doing for World of Color, like food, beverages and merchandise, it makes me wonder why they couldn't use that amount of creativity originally when building the park. Then maybe they could have avoided spending more than the park's original price tag.
So why am I talking about all that? Because with World of Color I believe Disney California Adventure is finally on its way to being a decent sequel to Disneyland.
So here's what I think of the show. Firstly I'm not going to say too much. Why? For one I can't legally. I've signed a piece of paper saying I can't. Second, I don't want to spoil it. It's like giving a movie review and not saying too much about the plot. But World of Color is amazing. It's not just a water show. Its got video, lasers, fire and fog. I would say about half of this video is Pixar and the other half Disney Animation with a couple other things, but the transition between the scenes are perfect and you really get the sense that these characters belong together under one roof. The way light and water are used together are unlike anything you will every see.
If you've seen the firework show "Remember, Dreams Come True" then you know it's a look at Disneyland through fireworks. That's what WoC is but with Disney films and all the techniques I've mentioned.
Now for the bad news, I actually saw this show a couple months back too and they changed things. For one there was a this "structure" that looked like a squid or something that formed the chest of the Chernabog from the Night on Bald Mountain scene from Fantasia and water created a "screen" for his head to be projected on top while fire was spit from the whole thing. Sadly it rusted too easily and was taken out. Also there was a whole scene of Under the Sea, which is still there, but Sebastian used to be a paper animation. Now he's traditional animation. I wonder why they changed that. In fact I heard there was a whole Alice in Wonderland scene in paper animation that I've never seen. They used to speak proudly of this animator they got to do all the paper animations. Don't get me wrong I like the traditional stuff but I felt a little cheated by its loss. Also, a couple scenes were added to my delight. With some changes I'm glad that the last few scenes never changed. This is good.
I mentioned before that the Silly Symphony Swings officially open Friday too, but it has been open to the public for a week or so now. I do have to say I like everything about it better than the Orange Stinger.
Keep up the good work, Disney!

2013 Champion David Mielke Scores 5th Anniversary Michigan Dirt Cup Modified Tour Opener At Winston SpeedwayMay 13th, 2015
Rothbury, Michigan: The 2015 racing season for the Allstar Performance Michigan Dirt Cup Modified Tour Presented by Lane Automotive season opener was at Winston Speedway on Friday, May 8th. The 13-race schedule within the tour's fifth anniversary season began the chase for the 2015 Michigan Dirt Cup Modified Tour Championship and the quest for the $5,000 payday going to the 2015 Champion. The fast 3/8s (0.375) mile semi-banked dirt oval located north of Muskegon in Rothbury, Michigan would host MDC for the fifth time in series history.
In the previous five appearances there had been four different winners that have visited victory lane. In the sixth race at the track to kick off the fifth anniversary season, 2013 Michigan Dirt Cup Modified Tour Champion, David Mielke overtook Defending Tour Champion with 12 laps to go to take the lead. From there, it was all Mielke as the 23-year-old from Gladwin, Michigan in his #87 Krompetz Elevator / Kirk Cameron Forestry Products machine pulled away to his fifth career MDC Modified Tour victory to move into sole possession of second all-time in career wins on the Tour. Of the five victories, two now have come at Winston Speedway.
After the redraw from the top three finishers in the Howe Racing Enterprises Qualifier Heat Races, Andy Sprague and Mark Anderson led the star-studded 21-car field to the Green Flag to begin the Allstar Performance 35 Presented by Lane Automotive. Anderson shot up to the top of the track and his momentum up on the cushion carried him around Sprague to take the early lead with Stemler, who started right behind him in fourth, following him past Sprague to grab the second spot.
Stemler continued to work on Anderson utilizing the bottom lane and on lap 17 would slip up in front of the early race leader to take over the point. Mielke, who started seventh, had been methodically working his way towards the front and would also slip past Anderson to take second and set his sights on Stemler. With 12 laps to go, Mielke was able to carry his momentum on the top side around Stemler to take the lead and pull away for his second career MDC Modified Tour victory at Winston and fourth overall.
In the end, Stemler settled for second in his #2 Gilboe's Lock & Safe entry as the 24-year-old from Ionia, Michigan began defense of his 2014 Title by hanging on to the runner-up spot over New Lenox, Illinois invader, Steven Brooks. The 26-year-old from the Prairie State in his #5 Camp Independence open-wheeled machine started in third and stayed in the top five for the entire 35 laps.
Aaron Morey was fourth after starting 11th in his #2K Performance Engineering machine. The 35-year-old from West Olive, Michigan would have to fight off fifth place finisher, Collin Thirlby's #47 Thirlby Automotive entry as the 25-year-old Traverse City, Michigan driver completed the top five. Jeff Erickson Jr., would bring home the sixth position ahead of Brian Brindley as veteran Curt Spalding would score an eighth place showing. Sprague slipped back to the ninth spot in the final rundown as another veteran; John McCaul completed the top 10.
In the Howe Racing Enterprises Qualifier Heat Races, Anderson, Mielke and Brooks were the winners while in the Last Chance Race; Steve McClees bested Brian Kiester, Jason Hoogerhyde, Troy Marciniak and Kory Maurice who would also transfer into the show. Jared Guinn earned the 21st starting position as the MDC Points Provisional from the Final 2014 standings.
Race #2 of the fifth anniversary 2015 racing season for the Allstar Performance Michigan Dirt Cup Modified Tour Presented by Allstar Performance will be at the track that hosted the inaugural race back in 2011, the fast 3/8 (0.375) mile semi-banked clay oval of I-96 Speedway, located east of Grand Rapids and west of Lansing in Lake Odessa, Michigan serves as hosts on Friday, May 15th.
In five previous appearances there have been five different winners with 2014 Tour Champion Travis Stemler scoring the most recent win on September 20th, 2014 to clinch the championship. Two other former series champions, Jacob Poel (2012 & 2011) and David Mielke (2013) also have wins which came in the 2014 and 2013 seasons respectively. Aaron Morey's victory came in 2012 while Mark Anderson won the inaugural race in 2011.

Ford Field one of NFL's most versatile stadiums
The legacy of Ford Field is linked to a 1920s-era department store building folded into the stadium design.
The old Hudson's warehouse, a seven-story brick structure, contains most of the stadium's 120-plus suites. Its influence extends to Chicago's Soldier Field, where the Bears' rebuilt stadium reopened one year after Ford Field with all 130 traditional suites built on the facility's east side.
In Detroit, the vision of the Ford family, the Lions' owner, was to develop an NFL stadium to reconnect with the city's urban core after the club played 26 seasons at the Pontiac Silverdome in the Detroit suburbs.
To provide a strong connection, hometown architect Rossetti, the stadium's designer, completed a study to use the warehouse as part of the stadium. It also made sense from a sustainability perspective, said Rossetti principal Jim Renne.
|The old Hudson's warehouse on one side of the stadium contains most of Ford Field's suites.
The warehouse filled that purpose, but the Lions were initially skeptical about the idea, he said. They preferred to develop a new building without having to worry about the potential costs for renovating the entire warehouse beyond the portion used for the 65,000-seat stadium.
"We actually started to design the stadium as a stand-alone," Renne said. "Despite all the measures we went through to make it [a less costly] stadium, there was still a little bit more [the Lions] wanted to spend," he said.
While the Lions were considering a larger spend, Rossetti went back to its study and showed the Lions that they could provide the amenities they wanted and still actually save $30 million to $35 million in construction costs by bringing the warehouse back into the design process.
The decision ultimately tied to the design, operations and funding for a $500 million project, said Lions President Tom Lewand.
"It really fulfilled the mandate we had from the Ford family, which was to build a unique stadium that embodies the city of Detroit," Lewand said. "I think Ford Field did that when it opened and continues to do that today."
Ten years later, more than 100,000 square feet, encompassing about one-third of the warehouse's available space, is occupied by local companies leasing space from the Lions, Lewand said. Its tenants include one of the city's major law
The recession decimated Michigan's automotive industry four years ago, doing the Lions no favors in their efforts to fill the warehouse. The list of prospective deals that fell through included a hotel and a House of Blues targeted for the building's top floor.
A nightclub concept remains on the drawing board, and there is talk of building a television studio in the warehouse, according to Matt Rossetti, a principal with Rossetti.
Lewand declined to elaborate. The Lions are "working on some things that are going to come down the line pretty shortly that will make that development more exciting" for the warehouse, Lewand said.
For football, the Lions have made some adjustments to Ford Field's suites and clubs that mirror the evolution of premium-seat trends across sports. The mix is heavier toward single-game suite sales than it was 10 years ago, Lewand said.
Lewand refused to discuss suite pricing. A CSL International study in September 2011 of all NFL venues listed an average annual fee of $96,000 for Ford Field's 129 current skyboxes. Of the stadium's 7,500 club seats, the average fee is about $1,500 a season, the study reported.
Last season, single-game suites sold for $3,000 to $12,000 a game, with seating for groups of 12 to 50 people, according to the Lions' website.
"We have changed our seating mix over time and changed our pricing model over the years," Lewand said. "We are constantly looking at ways to refine those offerings and present new experiences."
Since it opened, Ford Field has become one of the NFL's most versatile facilities. It has played host to the Super Bowl, the NCAA Final Four and Frozen Four, and several major concerts over the past decade.
The NCAA's decision to change the Final Four setup and put the court at midfield to expand seating from 40,000 to 70,000 was based on 2003's successful "Basketbowl" at Ford Field between Michigan State and Kentucky. It was the first time the new layout was tested for college hoops.
This year brought the Professional Bull Riders to Ford Field, the stadium's first rodeo. Its latest special event on the field was Sunday's Coach's Kickoff, with a Lions practice, an autograph session and a concert with country artist Randy Houser.
For the future, the Lions are looking at expanding wireless access throughout the stadium as that technology continues to develop.
"It's about making sure that our fans are getting the things that they are used to when they are consuming events, whether it is sports or other kinds of entertainment," Lewand said. "They are experiencing those in different ways than they have in the past."

Note: Ford Motor Co. announced a 40-year, $40 million naming-rights deal in October 1996. The nearly six years of exposure the company received before the stadium opened, and thus before the contract officially began, remains the longest such ramp-up in naming-rights history.

Progress Software Announces Availability of Sonic ESB 7.6
- 30 April, 2008 14:36

The Progress Sonic ESB offers enterprises a powerful alternative to centralized and monolithic middleware stacks by providing enterprises with the ability to integrate new and existing business services across their organizational boundaries, as well as connect to remote sites with low latency, high reliability and continuous availability.

Sonic ESB 7.6 allows developers to create the most complex service orchestrations from the 'top down' quickly, easily through 'drag and drop' functionality, and iterative development processes. In addition, it features embedded prototype services that allow developers to build and test services without developing them fully. Also, this release includes the addition of new process templates, which enable developers to capture their own best practices and repeat or share them for reuse.

Sonic ESB 7.6 also includes the Sonic Workbench, which is an Eclipse-based SOA graphical toolset that can be used to model, configure, test and deploy processes and services. Additionally, these graphical tools make it easy to specify configuration and deployment details that support an intuitive 'top-down' approach to a SOA development lifecycle.

Tutorials, available in print and video format, provide developers with best practice scenarios that help them create new services. For example, included in the tutorial are two popular use-case scenarios: 'batch to real time' and 'remote information access' services. These tutorials will help developers, who are new to SOA and ESB technologies, to quickly become productive.

In Gartner's 'Hype Cycle for Application Infrastructure Middleware, Platforms and Architecture 2007', analysts Roy Schulte, Jess Thompson and Kimihikio Iijima wrote: "The SOA and integration market is dynamic, with a relatively high rate of mergers and acquisitions. Therefore, companies buying an ESB product or another SOA middleware infrastructure product that contains an ESB product should consider the product viability and vendor viability, as well as the ease of development, standards compliance, quality of local support, administrative tools and feature richness."

David White, Sonic Product Marketing Manager, Progress Software, said: "We believe the release of Sonic ESB 7.6 most certainly hits upon all of the requirements outlined by Gartner from its ease of use to its feature-rich functionality. In addition to its financial strength and stability needed for long-term customer and product support, Progress Software offers customers a portfolio of best-in-class SOA infrastructure products that supports their multi-vendor SOA environments."

Sonic ESB 7.6 is available for free downloading and evaluation at: http://www.sonicsoftware.com/products/sonic_workbench/eval_downloads/index.ssp

Mexico teachers protest in capital over education reforms
Thousands of teachers have rallied in Mexico City to protest against new education reforms passed by the Mexican Congress.
The reforms would mean teachers having to take mandatory tests to keep their jobs or be offered promotions.
This has angered unions who have, until now, maintained complete control of school staffing. One union leader called President Nieto's reforms an "authoritarian policy".
However, President Enrique Peña Nieto said Mexico's future depended on the reform, and argued it would improve the quality of education.
Tens of thousands of union supporters shut down the capital's main boulevard and protested outside key government buildings as Mike Embley reports.

iPhone app rates Jolie as 'hottest celeb'
iPhone has launched a new application called Ugly Meter that rates people's ugliness - and it has rated Angelina Jolie as the hottest celebrity, stating that Angie is "so hot" she would "make the sun jealous."india Updated: Oct 17, 2010 09:04 IST
iPhone has launched a new application called Ugly Meter that rates people's ugliness - and it has rated Angelina Jolie as the hottest celebrity.
The Ugly Meter lets users take a snap of a person's face. It then analyses the "contours" of the face, and gives a score out of 10 and the higher the score, the more ugly the person.
Jolie scored a fantastic 2.0 out of 10. The program said Angie is "so hot" she would "make the sun jealous," reports The Daily Star.
On the other hand, Mad Men babe Christina Hendricks scored 10 on 10, while Kate Price's husband Alex Reid scored 8.0.
"You could walk through a haunted house and come out with a pay-check," said the application for Reid.
New mum Dannii fared worse, pulling in a repulsive 9.8, before being told, "You're so ugly you'd make a glass eye cry."
However, Sherry Adhami of charity Beatbullying is worried that use of the app could get out of control in the classroom.
"If young people are already feeling vulnerable or insecure, this tool could have devastating effects. We would urge Apple to bring in more positive things for young people," she said.
The app costs 99p to download from Apple's App Store and requires 5.5MB of free space on the iPhone. It was develop-ed by firm The Dapper Gentle-men and users simply take a picture to score their prey.

Well, I got to spend a couple more hours on the shoe rack, but that is all the time allotted to me. It is gone and I can't do any more work on it. My friend was in closet cleaning mode again and she needed it now :)
Ok, so I was not able to paint it, I am hoping she will get around to it at a later date. So I will just give you the highlights of what I was able to do.
Last update I gave, the carcass looked like this…
Today, i was able to finish cutting the cove molding, size it, miter it on the bandsaw, and sand it level to the edges, and when she picked it up, it looked like this…
So, aside from the ugly blue top, the lamination didn't come out too bad. Kind of picture framish, but at least I was able to demonstrate to myself that I could do a lamination over plywood and make it look a little better. I worked out a pretty efficient (and safe) molding process. I had a 1×6 board and I ran the edge on the router table. Then I would go over to the table saw and cut off the edge. Back to the router table and repeat. This allowed me to do fairly thin decorative trim without the dangers of trying to cut thin pieces on the router table. I liked the cove shape because it would give a little interest around the top and the shelf, but taper to a thinner piece around the edges. On the legs, up to the shelf, I just trimmed off thin pieces of pine at the same thickness as the thinnest part of the cove molding.
But man, I really would have loved to have just a couple more hours :)
Thanks for your attention to the blog. It was a fun confidence builder. After all, I stacked the odds majorly against me. And my rule of thumb is that if a project comes out less than I hoped, but better than I feared, then I am doing ok.
Happy Woodworking all,
