Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - David and Radim RAW - FULL CONTACT
David and Radim RAW - FULL CONTACT
Radim Hajek and David Smetak feature in a really good scene. It starts with David doing his fitness routine, using some weights. Radim arrives and starts some boxing training. David seems to pull a muscle in his arm as he trains and is offered a massage by Radim. Radim takes hold of David's injured arm and begins working on it, but soon forgets about a massage and lean over to kiss David. David responds by feeling Radim's cock in his pants, pulling them down far enough to expose it. That big cock flops out, already quite hard. He starts to lick the thick shaft and quickly loses his own shorts as the guys move to 69. Radim sucks on David's hard cock as his own is licked and sucked. He pulls David's legs in the air and spreads his ass cheeks as he sucks on that cock. Reaching down he begins to finger that tight hole. David then turns over and Radim slides his thick, hard cock deep in his ass. He fucks that ass with long strokes, going as deep as he can. David's cock is pulled back between his legs, and is rock hard as he is fucked. Radim is really working that hot ass and turns David over into missionary position and contiues his fucking. David takes that big cock really well and wanks himself as he does. His moaning increases as teh wanking speeds up and soon he dumps his cum all over his belly and chest. Radim pulls out and shoots a lovely load himself before leaning over to give David a final kiss, to end a most enjoyable scene.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Filip Pendrak is a newcomer who did a wonderful solo shoot. We were keen to try him out in duos, so paired him with Petr Kluk for this screentest. He certainly seems up for it, as his cock seem to be hard right from the outset, as we can see through his underwear. After being interviewed by Petr Filip leans over and starts kissing him. As they kiss Petr is rubbing a hand on Filip's thigh and then moves down to kiss his chest. That cock seems to be getting even hard in Filips undies, and Petr quickly pulls the underwear down to bring it into view. His head dips down and he begins to lick at that rock hard cock and then his mouth engulfs it as he begins to suck. Petr's own cock seems to be hard too as his mouth works over Filips. He really does a great job sucking it, and then pulls Filips underwear off completely, so we get a better view. He returns to his sucking and frees his own cock so he can wank himself at the same time. Then it is Filip's turn to suck cock, for the first time. He pulls Petr's underwear off and gets to work on that cock. He does it with some gusto, really going down on it well, and wanking it as well. Then he kisses Petr again and they move to a 69. Filip's mouth works well on Filips big, hard cock. For a novice he is doing very well indeed. Petr wants to go to the next stage and moves Filip onto his knees, with his ass exposed. With the hole exposed Petr rims it, his tongue licking into the crack on onto the pucker. Filip takes that very well so it is time to go further. Petr has Filip on his side and slides his throbbing cock into that tight hole. Filip certainly feels it as his ass takes its first cock, but he keeps with it and that dick goes in all the way. Then Petr starts his fucking and with some deep breaths Filip soon gets used to it. He takes it well and moves into a new position so that he can ride his ass up and down on that cock. As he rides on that cock Filip's dick is rock hard and Petr wanks it. He has quickly got used to beign fucked and changes position again, into missionary. Petr's cock really opens taht hole well, fucking nice and hard. Filip wanks himself hard and fast as he gets fucked and soon shoots a massive load while Petr's dick is deep inside him. Petr nees to cum as well and positions himself to shoot over Filip's face. Filip opens his mouth, wanting to catch as much of the cum in his mouth as he can. Then he sucks on that cock to drain it completely. What a great screentest, Filip certainly proved himself a very good debutant, passing his test very well.

Derfla left Prague today, so we're all alone for the dead of winter. It's predicted to get much colder in the days ahead. Wouldn't you know it?
I've been out all day running business errands and getting my Open Pass so I can ride the public transportation for free. Well, at least there are a few benefits in getting older. The hour is late, Kyptus wants to finish and get home, so I'll get right to it.
We start today with a lovely shoot with two great guys, David Smetak and Radim Hajek. They are followed by Filip Pendrak in a really good massage scene, Jirka Maly in his erotic video and newcomer Patrik Bohema in his session stills.
We have a great line-up in the castings as well, with Venca Venec, Gustav Spanel, Milan Cmil and Jakub Dlouhy. Oh what a difficult choice today, but eventually I decided the pick for today should be Milan Cmil.

One of 64 school districts in the state
The Bradford School District is one of 64 Illinois districts taking part in a new Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) program for evaluating children's readiness for kindergarten.
The pilot program will assess the school readiness of individual kindergarten students and identify gaps in development.
The Kindergarten Individual Development Survey (KIDS) pilot project aims to measure kindergarteners' skills and knowledge, informing educators about the learning and developmental needs of students in preschool through the early primary grades.
"Students enter kindergarten with varying ability levels and needs," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch.
"KIDS will provide useful, age-appropriate information that will serve as a baseline for measuring students' development and progress throughout their schooling. Ultimately, we hope KIDS can be another tool to ensure our youngest learners are getting the support and resources necessary to thrive and succeed."
The KIDS process promises to monitor growth and development over time, identify individual student's strengths and generate more effective classroom instruction.
KIDS also will provide school, district and state leaders with reliable data to make informed decisions about where resources and professional development are most needed.
KIDS is not a test nor is it a one-time snapshot of a student's readiness at one point in time.
The process involves observing kindergarten students over time, within the context of typical activities, such as English language development, self and social development, self-regulation, language and literacy development, and mathematical development. Results and observations will be recorded three times over the course of the school year.
The voluntary KIDS pilot program will run in phases before it is implemented statewide in 2015-16.
Starting this school year, 64 districts volunteered to participate in the pilot and receive training on how to implement the survey. ISBE also recruited bilingual teachers to participate in a Spanish-language version of the KIDS process.
Staff members from 64 school districts have undergone training. About half of these school districts are currently in the process of gathering data, including Oak Park Elementary School District 97.
"Our district is excited to be among the first in the state to learn how to implement the Kindergarten Individual Development Survey," said Dr. Al Roberts, Superintendent of Oak Park Elementary School District 97. "I am very proud of the work our teachers have already completed in conjunction with this important initiative and believe the data collected from the survey will help us evaluate student progress, close gaps in the readiness and development of our youngest learners and prepare our children for success both in and out of the classroom."
This year's pilot focuses on helping teachers understand the survey process and gaining their feedback on how KIDS works, rather than collecting data.
Eventually, all kindergarten teachers will be trained in the assessment. The following timeline outlines the goals for implementation:
- 2012-13 – 5,000 kindergarten students
- 2013-14 – 10,000 kindergarten students
- 2014-15 – 30,000 kindergarten students
- 2015-16 – Statewide implementation (about 150,000 kindergarten students)
The Illinois State Board of Education established KIDS in collaboration with the KIDS Advisory Committee, comprised of ISBE administrators, early childhood and early elementary teachers and administrators, assessment and data experts and others interested in education. Through a competitive process, ISBE selected the California Department of Education's (CDE) instruments, known as the Desired Results Developmental Profile, to use as part of the KIDS.

How To Become An Occupational Therapist in Louisiana
In order to qualify for Rehabilitation jobs in Louisiana, you should compare all available technical schools in your target area, as well as consider taking some of your courses online. Check with each nursing school below for assistance with certificate program requirements, degree prerequisites, and class registration. You may request information from several different schools below, without making a commitment.
To prepare for Rehabilitation careers in Louisiana, you need to complete a technical education in your specialty area, as well as consider taking part of your required courses online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? As the entrance requirements for engineering programs vary, learn about the various specialization options available. Check with the physical therapy department for course registration deadlines, and engineering program requirements.
Occupational therapists treat injured, ill, or disabled patients through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. They help these patients develop, recover, improve, as well as maintain the skills needed for daily living and working. They may also work with people who have been through a traumatic event, such as a car accident, or patients with permanent disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, who often need help performing daily tasks. Therapists show patients how to use appropriate adaptive equipment, such as leg braces, wheelchairs, and eating aids.
Therapists who work in nursing facilities help their patients lead more independent and active lives. They may work with patients who have chronic conditions, such as diabetes, or help rehabilitate a patient recovering from hip replacement surgery. In some cases, occupational therapists help patients create functional work environments. They evaluate the workspace, recommend modifications, and meet with the patient's employer to collaborate on changes to the patient's work environment or schedule. Beyond major requirements within the physical therapy department, you may consider SUNY Empire State College math dept as a complementary elective.

Turn 2 After-School ProgramThe Turn 2 Foundation and the New York City Parks and Recreation Department formed a partnership in 2000 to administer four free after-school programs that reach approximately 300 children, ages 6-13, throughout New York City from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Each day students are welcomed with a healthy snack, followed by help with their homework. The Turn 2 New York After-School Programs offer local youth activities in cultural and visual arts, physical fitness, drug and alcohol awareness, environmental issues, computer literacy, academic enrichment, safety and nutrition. These activities strive to carry out the NYC Parks and Recreation Department's mission to enable the children to lead physically active lives through sports, fitness and outdoor adventure, while also fulfilling the Turn 2 Foundation's mission by supplying signature programs with activities that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and "Turn 2" healthy lifestyles.

St. John's Recreation Center
St. James Recreation Center

Jeter Meter
This year marked the fourth year of Turn 2's Jeter Meter program at the after-school sites. This incentive-based program, administered in partnership with New York Road Runners, aims to promote healthy lifestyles and physical fitness through walking or running at least 1-2 miles per week. The participants receive prizes for their efforts and compete between age groups in their site, as well as the other sites. Each youth's goal is to accumulate 26.2 miles per program year, or a marathon. This program year after school participants have accumulated over 8,465 miles.
Jeter's Leaders Mentoring
Members of the New York Jeter's Leaders program visit the youth of each Turn 2 after-school program numerous times throughout the program year to facilitate mentoring activities. Older students are paired with younger students to enhance learning experiences, build lasting relationships and model positive behavior.
Camp Program
Each summer, outstanding students from each site are nominated to attend Turn 2's Camp Program. This year, Turn 2 is looking forward to sending over 20 campers to attend one of two overnight camps for one or three weeks, offering swimming lessons, arts and crafts, athletics, horseback riding, hiking and new friendships.
24 Hour Fitness
The Turn 2 Foundation and 24 Hour Fitness partnered in the fall of 2012 to bring a new initiative to the Turn 2 New York After-School Programs. The organizations worked collaboratively to promote healthy and active lifestyles to the St. James Turn 2 After-School Program in the Bronx and the Jackie Robinson Turn 2 After-School Program in Harlem. The 20-week program started in November and will go through early spring. Children at both sites participated in numerous classes including yoga, cardio conditioning, boot camp, body strength and hip-hop dance classes.
Global Arts to Go
Choosing from a variety of topics in music, dance and arts, the Global Arts to Go program allows the after-school coordinators to build a unique artistic and musical curriculum based on the interest of the students. Programs offered include international dance, hip hop and global dance, among many others. Instructors visit each of the four after-school sites numerous times throughout the year to not only teach the students new artistic dances and skills, but about the heritage of the communities as well.
After-School Showcase
To culminate an exciting year, each site will host an Annual End of the Year After-School Showcase in June. Families and peers are able to see the skills the students developed over the course of the year. The showcases consist of dance, drama and musical performances, in addition to a presentation of the artwork created by the children throughout the year.
Turn 2 After-School 2012-13 Program Year
Harlem - New York, N.Y.
Participants at Jackie Robinson Turn 2 After-School Program have a very busy and active program filled with many different activities focusing on academic enrichment, healthy and active lifestyles, and much more. The students stay active and healthy by participating in the Jeter Meter program and the inaugural year of the partnership between 24 Hour Fitness and Turn 2 Foundation. With these two programs the students get plenty of exercise during their time in after school. In addition to staying active, the students also work on different projects throughout the year. One project is video production through a media class, where children explore different video producing and recording techniques. Other activities include weekly ecology classes where students learn about their environment and drumming classes where they learn about the various drumming techniques and styles from around the world.
Brooklyn, N.Y.
The curriculum at St. John's Turn 2 After-School Program incorporates many different activities and events in order to insure that the students receive a well-balanced program. Students participate in creative arts, dance and drama classes, a culinary expo, dance parade, Fit Fridays, Jeter Meter, Global Arts to Go, urban and environmental education and the Learn to Swim and Learn to Kayak programs. Along with all these activities the students were also introduced to a new theme called Cultural Experience: International Month. Each month the students focus on a different country from around the world and learn about its culture. Children are introduced to each country by participating in activities that teach them different facts about the culture.
Bronx, N.Y.
St. James Turn 2 After-School Program in the Bronx, N.Y., is one of Turn 2's largest after-school programs with 80 children registered. The staff has developed extensive and exciting programming to keep all these young minds engaged and stimulated. One of the more popular weekly activities among the participants is drumming class, a part of the Global Arts to Go program. Students also enjoy film class, where they learn different video production techniques and work on the development of a short film as an end-of-the-year project. Along with these great classes the students stay active throughout the week by participating in the Jeter Meter program and the 24 Hour Fitness program. Students are able to show their friends and families what they work on in after school by having several showcases and performances throughout the year.
Far Rockaway - Queens, N.Y.
The Sorrentino Turn 2 After-School Program participants are always enthusiastic and filled with excitement. Despite the center being closed for a couple of weeks due to power outages caused by Hurricane Sandy this past fall, the students and staff have showed resiliency by coming together during difficult times and creating a great support system for each other. The students participate in several activities promoting healthy and active lifestyles, such as a basketball clinic, participation in the Millennium Tournament, double-dutch, Jeter Meter, boys' street hockey and girls' softball. The participants are also able to go on many field trips throughout the year to explore different locations and sights of New York City, including Madison Square Garden, Central Park and Rockefeller Center.

Submitted by Wall St. Daily as part of our contributors program
On Tuesday, I encouraged anyone in the market for a new iPad to go with the iPad 2, instead of Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) latest creation.
And while several reviewers online agree, many others believe that the new iPad is worth the $100 premium over the previous model.
- Lockheed Martin: The View Looking Ahead

- How Did Chinese Wireless Carriers Fare In October?
- How Is eBay Dealing With Increased Competitive Pressure?
Regardless of which camp you fall into, one thing is certain: The new iPad's retina display steals the show. With a resolution of 2048 X 1536, Apple designed the 9.7-inch screen to pack more pixels than a full HDTV.
And although Apple has upgraded the screen resolution in each successive iPad, you can bet that the 2013 model – and the one after that – will be even better.
This obsession with upgrading resolution is good news for one Apple supplier in particular…
Last Year's Supply Crunch Sets the Stage
Back in May 2011, Samsung (SEO:005930) and LG (NYSE: LPL) showed off ultra-high resolution displays at SID Display Week 2011 in Los Angeles.
And since the pixel density of the panels was on par with the retina display in the iPhone 4, these new screens all but confirmed that the advanced technology would finally make it to the third iPad model.
Now, although I'm sure that Samsung's ongoing legal scuffles with Apple make things a bit awkward, I originally had Samsung pegged to be the exclusive supplier when the time came.
You see, not only did Samsung have the shoe-in display, but during the initial iPad 2 rollout, LG had to cut back its first-quarter supply due to a hardware defect. So the company came out with 800,000 fewer units than Samsung, which likely played a big role in the iPad 2's supply crunch at the time.
Looks like Apple's pretty forgiving, though, as Samsung and LG are both manufacturing the new iPad's screen. Sharp made the cut, too.
The problem is that developing a screen with this mega-sharp clarity is complex, and its pixel density requirements led to some novel engineering techniques.
As Apple says on its website…
"When you squeeze four times the pixels [than the iPad 2] into the same space, signals can get crossed, colors become distorted and images get fuzzy. To solve this we had to elevate the pixels onto a different plane and separate them from the signals."
The result is that manufacturers are finding it hard to actually live up to the task.
Deja Vu for LG
Quoted in CNET, NPD DisplaySearch analyst, Richard Shim, says the new iPad screen is…
"… the first of its kind. And you have three manufacturers that are pretty good at making displays and they're having difficulty supplying it."
As a result, (surprise) only Samsung has delivered so far.
iSuppli Senior Manager, Vinita Jakhanwal, says:
"The display specifications on the new iPad are very demanding… Achieving this high resolution without compromising on the power consumption and brightness and maintaining Apple's quality standards are supposedly proving to be a challenge for LG Display and Sharp."
Not good, considering that demand for the new iPad is out of control. It's sold out online and shipments are already delayed up to three weeks. Meaning we can expect the lines outside Apple locations tomorrow morning (when the device hits stores) to be longer than ever.
And with Samsung as the manufacturer keeping up, Apple could face another supply crunch. Strike two, LG.
Sure, LG and Sharp are reportedly on track now. And all three suppliers are bound to cash in on the new tablet's popularity in the short term.
But now that Samsung has shown its supply chain superiority twice in a row – and its ability to meet Apple's strict demands for quality – it might be the only supplier reliable enough to see any benefits in the long run.

BOSTON -- Gov. Deval Patrick on Wednesday defended the renovations and restorations to his executive suite, which cost an estimated $11.3 million, up from the original $9 million estimate.
The governor, hosting one of several public events scheduled in his office suite, pointed to the floor in his Corner Office, where workers discovered holes in the subflooring that required structural reinforcements, according to officials overseeing the project.
In response to a reporter's question after Patrick signed a bill on public housing authorities, the governor said "having a floor not collapse underneath us is not a luxury, it turns out to be pretty important."
Patrick opened the bill-signing ceremony, which was held in the back of the revamped reception area that is part of the third floor office suite, by noting the smell of fresh paint still lingering in the air.
"It's great to have a security system that's secure, a heating system that heats, and a cooling system that's cool, and it turns out, a floor that isn't going to collapse out from under us," said Patrick, who moved back into the office on Tuesday after months in a temporary office on the second floor.
A new governor is scheduled to take over the suite in January, as Patrick is finishing out his term.
According to the administration, the new HVAC system includes "state-of-the-art" energy saving features that could save $5,000 a year.
Rep. Kevin Honan (D-Brighton), who attended the bill-signing, told the governor he knows it's "difficult" to invest money into the State House "without public criticism."
Honan joked that the lobby area looked like it was "more suitable" to sign treaties. "Which we all someday hope you do," Honan added, in an apparent reference to a potential run for president in Patrick's future.
After a roar of laughter from the small crowd subsided, Patrick, who has repeatedly said he isn't running in 2016, stated, "That part was off-the-record."
Asked about the renovations, Rep. Donald Wong (R-Saugus), who also attended the bill-signing, told the News Service he hadn't seen the other rooms, but added that the executive suite, and the House, which is asking for its own $20 million chamber renovation, are "historic" areas.
The Senate is also proposing to renovate its chamber, with a potential $20 million price tag.
State officials on Tuesday afternoon offered the media a tour of the renovated offices, which include a new "command center" on the fourth floor, the potential for a facial recognition system for entrance to the offices, and temperature control in the rooms.
The project, which started in January, spanned 19,000 square feet.
"It was a complete historical renovation," Richard Petersen, senior construction manager for the state Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, said Tuesday. "It wasn't just a restoration. We actually went in, and we did a lot of research to find out what the colors were, what the textures were, what the floor was, and whatnot, and working in conjunction with Mass. Historical Society and the Commission, we got exactly how it looked back in 1798."
>>> For video of the renovated Executive Suite, go to: http://www.statehousenews.com/video/14-08-05executive/ <<<
Workers are still putting the finishing touches on the project, going through a punch-list and wrapping up work on the second floor offices directly below the governor's office, that will again house constituent services staffers.
All the work should be finished by Wednesday, Aug. 13, according to Petersen.
"We should be set here for another 100 years," he said.

Eight books on word origins??

I'm curious to know which English dictionary you use.

I have a 2-volume "short" edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, I think it's usually referred to as NSOED. But it's big and cumbersome to use. So I usually go for the Webster Unabridged. And for quick lookups online, it's http://www.dictionary.com

I've only been interested in the subject for a little under a year and already I have about 8 books on word origins and I also use them in conjunction with my English and Latin dictionaries and textbooks. I don't seem to have the time to read lately

The CCMS Project Team continues to focus on its three critical paths to implementation: Technical Readiness, Data Readiness, and Organizational & User Readiness. The CCAP Help Desk staff needs to intensify its focus on: Organizational and User Readiness - Providing readiness support.
CCAP Help Desk staff are responding and tracking user requests. Eighty percent (80%) of all requests are password related. That's a big percentage of our dwindling CCAP Help Desk staff's time.
Ninety-nine (99%) percent of revoked passwords are due to user error: expired or lapsed passwords, or the selected password not following the guidelines. Of the 80% of CCAP Help Desk requests, 60% should be managed at the agency level.
The most effective way for you to do this is to:
Now is a great time to exam your agency's password practices. Agencies who spend the time upfront verifying internal connections and explaining password guidelines to users seem to experience fewer issues; and minimize the loss in staff productivity due to time needed for CCAP Help Desk password resets.
The second most requested task received by the CCAP Help Desk is for duplicate certificates. The CCMS will allow each R&R the ability to print and send duplicate certificates. Until the system goes live, please do not instruct parents or providers to contact Springfield. Also check to make sure the certificate was issued prior to advising your staff to contact the CCAP Help Desk.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the high volume of password resets, requests to add new staff or for duplicate certificates may be delayed.
Our goal is to help you to stregthen your organizational and user readiness. However, you must take control of your agency's problem escalation process. If you have suggestions or comments to assist with this effort, please e-mail them to email@example.com .

These cartoons have a lot going for them - great background design and color, beautiful motion and timing, but a lot of the designs are these lumpy looking misunderstandings of the "Preston Blair" style.
These drawings are extremely awkward and therefore unappealing and amateurish looking. The lion's jaw and muzzle are formless shapes that don't attach to the cranium. The lip is confused with the chin (as in Tiny Toons and Animaniacs)It's amazing that such expensive fluid animation can have such sloppy drawings, but that was common in American cartoons at the time too at the B and C studios.
You could even find sloppy misunderstandings of constructed drawings in Disney cartoons here and there.
MGM made great cartoons with excellent design and drawing, yet they couldn't find cartoonists to do their posters who could draw a pear and a sphere that didn't look like it was melting all over the place.
I'm sure these toys are not supposed to be formless, but they are. By the 1970s formlessness in all walks of life became mainstream. Just 5 years earlier you could still find very appealing toys of Hanna Barbera characters or any other studios'. In the quickest decline in skill and culture probably in history you saw everything go to Hell within 5 years. Cartoons joined music, TV, movies and all other forms of popular culture in overnight decay. Pleasuring the senses disappeared from the face of the earth.
These blobs are just blobs and unappealing out of straight ignorance - just plain bad design by amateurs.
Here's George Woodbridge who not only refused to draw appealing big-eyes, he refused to draw eyes at all!
The more realistic itchy artists like George Woodbridge, John Severin and Will Elder seemed to me to be throwbacks to cartoons from the 1800s that were meant to be funny by being uglier than actual life. The little unsure broken crosshatching crawling all over bland shapes with tiny eyes just baffled me as a kid. I guess this style inspired the underground artists of the 60s who took itchiness to whole new levels of unappealingness.
To me cartoons are supposed to be skillful and fun to look at, not eye gouging torture.
I can't find any appeal in drawings like this. You can barely even tell what you are looking at except that it's probably made by really serious responsible people who think fun is bad for you. The odd thing is that as an artist, I can tell that some of these are actually good drawings on some technical level and much of the animation was done by actual cartoony artists from the 40s and 50s.
It really and honestly is "ugly on purpose". I can't imagine for a second that anyone working on this could have thought it would appeal to kids - not after they had been weaned on Bugs Bunny, Donald and Goofy, The Flintstones, Mighty Mouse and a slew of cartoons that were purposely designed to give instant pleasure to young eyes.
It's as if this stuff is designed just to be hard to do and to rebel against classic principles and just plain fun. But why? What strange goals for people who work so hard.
The same animators who once did simple fun character designs and entertained millions of people around the world are now working ten times as hard surely knowing that no one is going to enjoy it or even be able to tell what they are looking at.
Here, Corny Cole gets a bit of appeal into at least the eyes of the main characters...
But then is corrected by Richard Williams who knows appeal is selling out to the man.

22 June 2014
Kuala Lumpur, 22 June 2014 – Malaysia Airports' commitment in pursuing workplace excellence was proven today when it was honoured with the Anugerah Majikan 1Malaysia under the 'Syarikat Besar' category in conjunction with the Hari Pekerja 2014 celebration held at Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) Melaka on 21 June 2014, organised by the Ministry of Human Resources.
Tan Sri Datuk Sri Dr. Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Abdullah, Chairman of Malaysia Airports who received the award from YAB Dato' Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Hj Abdul Razak, Prime Minister of Malaysia said, "This award acknowledges our dedication towards the development of a workforce that is productive, informative, disciplined, caring and responsive to change. We are relentless in our efforts to proactively manage and sustain the harmonious and symbiotic relationship between employer and employees. This is the secret of our success."
Tan Sri Wan Abdul Aziz added further, "We consider our staff as our most important asset because their contribution is vital to the company's success, which in turn, contributes towards national development."
He then went on to say, "I am proud and honoured to receive this prestigious award on behalf of Malaysia Airports. Since I joined the company more than a year ago, I noticed a strong sense of comradeship and a spirit of oneness that bind us together. We have been through many difficult and trying times but we managed to remain resolute and stand tall as a team. We persevered. This award goes to all the staff for their dedication and commitment in bringing Malaysia Airports to greater heights."
The award was judged based on several criteria such as human capital development; commitment towards employee health and safety; provision of staff facilities; as well as implementation of community and environmental programmes, to name a few. For the win, Malaysia Airports received a trophy, RM10,000.00 cash award and a Certificate of Appreciation. Malaysia Airports also took part in the cultural performance by performing a dance to convey the spirit of 1Malaysia in Malaysia Airports.
In pursuing excellence, Malaysia Airports places strong emphasis on human capital development. The formation of the Talent and Performance Unit, Training Management Unit as well as various leadership and talent pool programmes stands as a testament to our endeavours.
Staff well-being and engagement is one of Malaysia Airports' six strategic pillars. Apart from staff facilities such as hostel, cafeteria, gymnasium and football field as well as medical benefits for employees and family members, Malaysia Airports also practices Management Visibility, where its senior management team members are encouraged to actively participate at various engagement avenues such as sports carnival and sporting / health facilities, annual events and regular town hall sessions, among others.
Strong relationship with the employee unions is also one of the contributing factor behind its effective staff well-being management. This solid relationship enables both staff and the company to work well together, resulting a win-win partnership for both parties.
Employees are also encouraged to actively contribute in community and environmental awareness programmes through our volunteerism programme. Employees can participate in programmes such as Beyond Borders – an educational programme aimed at improving English proficiency among students from primary schools adopted by Malaysia Airports. Employees also participate in the yearly Green Day programme - a two-pronged employee engagement activity which aims to stimulate environmental awareness and to enhance camaraderie among its staff.
Malaysia Airports operates 39 airports in Malaysia – 5 international, 18 domestic and 16 Short Take Off and Landing ports (STOL ports). The success of managing these 39 airports lies in the strength and commitment of its more than 9,000 staff nationwide, along with a good management team.

Pettitte works six strong in final spring start
WASHINGTON -- The Yankees are hoping their veterans can carry them in 2013, and some of them did just that on Friday in the club's final exhibition game against a Major League team.
Andy Pettitte threw six strong innings, while Kevin Youkilis homered and Mariano Rivera recorded the final three outs to help New York defeat Washington, 4-2, at Nationals Park.View Full Game Coverage
WASHINGTON -- The Yankees are hoping their veterans can carry them in 2013, and some of them did just that on Friday in the club's final exhibition game against a Major League team.
Andy Pettitte threw six strong innings, while Kevin Youkilis homered and Mariano Rivera recorded the final three outs to help New York defeat Washington, 4-2, at Nationals Park.View Full Game Coverage
Pettitte had little trouble against a tough Washington lineup. The 40-year-old left-hander breezed through six innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits.
Pettitte struck out six without issuing a walk, and his biggest problem came when Wilson Ramos' bat came flying near his head in the third -- but Pettitte got out of the way.
"I feel great," said Pettitte. "I'm a little concerned with just being too strong, so I just wanted to make sure I got good work in today. I think they were good after five. I get a little amped up if I don't feel like I'm getting my work in. Hopefully, I got ... enough work in."
The 34-year-old Youkilis has gotten in plenty of good work throughout the spring. He lined a 1-2 pitch off Jordan Zimmermann into the New York bullpen to open a four-run fourth inning. That frame gave the Yankees all the offense they needed.
Youkilis has been swinging a powerful bat all spring. Because Friday's homer came in an exhibition game, it didn't count toward his Grapefruit League statistics, but in Grapefruit League play, the veteran recorded 13 hits, 12 of which went for extra bases.
"Spring is spring," Youkilis said. "You've got to keep with your strengths, and there are times when you find things you're doing wrong and you've got to learn from them. I had those days. It's about doing that all year and just trying to make adjustments. That's my whole goal this year -- make quick adjustments."
The 43-year-old Rivera, who recently announced that this season will be his last, came on in the ninth and needed just 10 pitches to retire the side in order.
The Yankees' big fourth inning proved to be enough. After the Youkilis homer, Eduardo Nunez added a two-run single to make it 3-0. Nunez scored on a gamble, racing home from third while the Nationals were trying to throw out Chris Stewart as the backup catcher rounded first base too far after singling.
Ryan Zimmerman scored both of Washington's runs. In the fourth, Zimmerman crossed the plate after reaching second on Youkilis' throwing error from third base. Ian Desmond drove in Zimmerman with a single.
Zimmerman added a two-out double in the sixth, and Adam LaRoche followed with an RBI single to cut New York's lead to 4-2.
Zimmermann lasted 3 1/3 innings for the Nationals, giving up four runs on seven hits. Right-handed reliever Henry Rodriguez, who learned after the game that he had edged lefty J.C. Romero for the final spot on Washington's roster, worked a scoreless sixth inning.
Washington's bullpen threw well, holding New York scoreless on three hits in 5 2/3 innings. Zach Duke, Rodriguez, Ryan Mattheus, Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen combined to strike out seven and walk just one.
"It was a good day for the bullpen," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "I liked what I saw today, because that was a good day for five of my bullpen guys to get work and follow each other. That was kind of the pecking order."
Up next: Fans can watch the Bronx Bombers' final action of Spring Training free on MLB.TV at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday, when New York will head to West Point, N.Y., to play the Army Black Knights. Adam Warren, who posted an 8.15 ERA in Grapefruit League play, will start for the Yankees.

There is always this one kind of projects that you ever wanted to build and pops up in your mind once in a while. This was it for me: In my mind I saw a gantry style signal tower in a fighting scene and under which a panther is positioned. This kept me fascinated for a long time, until I finally decided to build it. I always had an inclination for railway scenes; probably back from the days when I played with the model railroad at my grandfather's house. So, tracks need to be on the diorama, that's for sure and as well as something track bound.

The model I wanted to build was the version that ran on the Tour de Corse in 1984 season, driven by Attilio Bettega (who lost its life in the same car during the 1985 season) with Cresto as a co driver. The Martini livery makes this car absolutely stunning, but also quite demanding for the modeler. Moreover, the only plastic kit available on the market is the not so recent Hasegawa kit. In my opinion It's quite well designed, easy to assemble parts, good general fitting, good materials quality. However...

Realistic wire wheels for 1/12 scale motorcycles
One of the biggest challenges for a modeler who builds motorcycles in 1/12 scale, is to modify a wire wheel and make it look realistic; specially without having to buy an aftermarket kit. Anyway, there are no kits for this kind of modification (except for one of the Acu-stion for the Tamiya XV1600 kit), so it's not possible to get one. So any modeler attempting to do this task must rely in his/her ability in order, to get a good result.
Improving the Dragon Schwimmwagen - 1/6 scale #75013
Being a car fan, everything that has wheels attracts my attention, nevertheless, the Kubelwagen's amphibious sibling, went unnoticed by me for quite a long time. After building the 1/6 Dragon Kubel, I was pretty excited with the Schwimmwagen, and the quality of the kit and improvements Dragon introduced a couple of years after the Kubel release, really surprised me. This article aims at offering my view about this kit construction, adding some improvements I considered necessary so as to make a worthy scale model.

Advanced techniques: Building the P-51D Mustang "Lt Col John Myers" Petie 3rd Dragon 1/32 scale
The infamous Dragon P-51D in 1/32. This model was started before Tamiya announced their kit, and I have to admit that during this build I did consider scrapping it more than once. In the end, I am very glad I did not. Despite the challenges and limitations of this kit, I am very happy (and proud) of the end result.

Building the Mini Cooper S Countryman, a guide for beginners Hasegawa #24121 - 1/24 scale
The aim of this article is to give the reader a detailed and comprehensive guide. Here you'll have typical indications for the most experienced modelers but very useful for newcomers or for those about to take their first steps into scale model cars. In spite that this kit is simple, it's very important to follow the instructions to avoid unexpected surprises. In spite that modelers use to skip or change the order in the instruction steps, I'll build this kit as per instructions.

Building the T-34/100 from a T34/85 and scratch 1/35 scale
The T-34 is one of the vehicles with longer operative life. Even, many are on service today in some third world countries, and until a few years ago, in Europe, they were seeing action in the former Yugoslavia. Among all the versions developed, this accomplished by the Egyptian, is the one that seems more attractive to me. In the '70s with the surplus of T-34 chassis, surpassed by more modern tanks, they decided to mount the Soviet 100mm BS-3 gun...
Building the M36B1 tank destroyer 1/16 scale R/C
The M36B1 was a mix of the M36 Jackson turret with its 90mm cannon, that would be used later in the Pershing, and a M4A3 Sherman chassis. This vehicle was in response to Americans to be able to face in better conditions the big German tanks during WWII. It was not a tank in the strict meaning of the word since it served as tank killer, however, in the pictures of that period, they can be seen as infantry support tanks. This article aims at sharing with you my experience building a 1/16 M36B1 R/C.
Tamiya Caterhams, a step by step guide for novices 1/12 scale
The first Catherham from Tamiya coming to my hands at the end of 1994, was the "Cycle Fender Special" (10202), since the "Super Seven BDR was out of stock, and it was impossible for me to get it from the stores I used to buy kits. From that moment on, my affair with which, I think is the best scale car kit ever produced, began. And here my comment: probably, you have seen better detailed kits, or even superb models limited editions.
Building the Kawasaki Z750 Police from Tamiya / Aoshima kits - 1/12 scale
In 1976 Kawasaki launched the model Z750, a smaller sister to the Z900, adapted to the requirements of the Japanese market.
To my knowledge, the Z900 was an improved copy of the Honda CB750Four and, as it was common to Japanese manufacturers, each new model included several versions in order to cover the requirements of the Japanese police. This model was inspired in a small picture from the '70 decades. the picture was showing a Z750 model, perhaps a 1978 version, for the police, with the color and characteristics of the Japanese Police.

Scratchbuilding the Nieuport 6H, 1/48 scale
I decided to scratchbuild this plane after seeing the scale drawings by Mike Fletcher in his web site: The Nieuport Pages. I sent an E-mail to him and he kindly sent me pictures and larger resolution scale drawings. Once I enlarged the plans to 1/48, I noticed how big the plane was....
Building the KV-220 from scratch / Trumpeter kit 1/35 scale
The aim of this article is to share with the reader the work accomplished some years ago to build a model of a Russian tank KV-220 of the WWII. The modeler psyche is at times, curious, being so many kits available, some day we say "this is the model I want to have!" either because we saw pictures or read something about it in a book, a message in a forum... etc. No matter how, the only way to have it, is to get down to work, and I did so.
Building the M4A1E8 Sherman IDF service RC 1/16 scale
My liking for the Sherman started 25 years ago when I built the first version of the Tamiya M4 RC kit. In 2007, I decided to build all the versions, at least the available kits. At that moment I realized that to speak about the Sherman, you have to know a lot about it, and that is almost impossible to build all the versions. On the other hand, I found that I didn't feel comfortable building in 1/35 scale, so, I left the project aside. Anyway, I went on reading and learning about Shermans, mainly the Israeli versions, just to check the little I know and the great many variants that are nearly impossible to list.

Building rusted cars - VW 1966 - 1/24 scale
It all started with a joke, I built a rusted Mustang GT 350 to make a gift to a friend who only builds Mustangs. It was at a modelers meeting when he received a homage and the joke consisted of letting him know the arduous remodeling and restoration work he would have with this rusted Mustang. I took advantage of my work and presented it in a contest that took place in Campinas city. Finally, the model was "best of the show" and they called me mad for giving a winning model. My answer was.... I will have to make another rusted model for me.
Building the IDF M50 radio controled Sherman 1/16 scale
Building the M50 in 1/16 scale is a project I have had in mind for many years, and after the M51s (from the article published in May 2012) I felt the need to continue with this one. In this article, I'll share with the reader my experience in building the M50 RC 1/16 from a Tamiya M4 -105mm with HVSS suspension.
Building an accurate M51 Isherman from the Tamiya RC kit 1/16 scale
There were many versions of the Sherman, however, the last modification the Israelis made on them, is to my liking, the most showy and the one that converted a WWII tank into one of the 60 and 70 decades. I'll not extend in describing the history of the M51, there's a lot of information in books and internet, just enough to say that, as well as the M50, there were so many variants, that it's recommended to build one tank in particular if you look for historical accuracy. As is my custom….I didn't do so and just made generic versions that could have really existed. The aim of this article is to share with the reader the 250 hours of work to convert the erroneous Tamiya 1/16 RC kit into two acceptable M51. This is not an article for you to copy exactly what I did, but it may give you ideas of how to or get the basic things you need to build two versions of the M51.
Building the Lindberg Curtiss JN-4D Jenny 1/48 scale
The machine I decided to depict was a Curtiss JN-4D trainer based at Love Field, Texas during 1918. A picture of this plane can be found at the Profile Publications book about the Curtiss JN.

Scratchbuilding the IDF Leyland Contractor - 1/35 scale
I always liked the transport vehicles especially the IDF transport trucks. When I got the Leyland blueprint and knowing it was difficult that a manufacturer of plastic kits made a release, I thought it was time to build it from scratch. Though it's not easy to copy a scratchbuilt work, this article aims at sharing with readers the work accomplished, encouraging them to face the process of building a scale model "from scratch".
Improving the Dragon Kubelwagen 1/6 scale # 75003
Action figure collecting is one of the most popular hobbies in the world. Figures made out of different plastic materials based on TV sci-fi series, sci-fi movies (for instance GI Joe action figures) and facts from real life such as the representation of different war scenarios. Soldier figures are commonly made in 1/6 scale, they're represented with military uniforms made from genuine fabric and the weapons that real soldiers use to have, vehicles included.

Scratchbuilding military vehicles - Ford C11 ADF - 1/35 scale
The art of starting a model or project from scratch, is almost literally, the art of building from the bottom up. This is really exciting. Often a desired model is unavailable in some scale or entirely non-existent. Sometimes the hobbyist may be dissatisfied with the accuracy or detail of kits that are available. Other times a hobbyist will opt to scratchbuild simply for the challenge, which gives us the opportunity to give free rein to our imagination to solve problems of construction and once finished to complete our collection with a singular piece. My intention through this article is to share with you several tips of the scratchbuilding world and the way I solve the difficulties I have to face, in this case building the Ford C11 ADF.


text: Orzo is made with Durham Wheat Flour (Semolina) which makes it a pasta. Mediterranean Orzo is 1/3 inches long, rice shaped and has a slightly rich flavor. The toothy, firm texture and subtle flavors lend it's use to many different applications. Orzo maintains its shape when cooked. Traditionally, Orzo has been used with rice to make Pilafs. Orzo like many pastas, has become a flexible and versatile ingredient. In Italian, Orzo means "Barley". Since pasta doesn't contain any Barley, the name is probably in reference to the shape of Orzo. With an array of herbs and spices, as well as the distinct rich flavor of porcini, this orzo is a great complement to any dish. One pound dry yields 6-1/2 cups cooked.

"One is not born, but rather becomes a woman," declared French author Simone de Beauvoir in her 1949 work, The Second Sex. Sixty years later, in November 2009, the book was newly translated and re-released and it remains as compelling as ever. On the theme of a woman's metamorphosis, Beauvoir wrote, "Then from woman's point of view I shall describe the world in which women must live; and thus we shall be able to envisage the difficulties in their way as, endeavoring to make their escape from the sphere hitherto assigned them, they aspire to full membership in the human race."
21st Century Expressions of The Second Sex will showcase selected works by leading female regional artists, created in the world in which women artists must live. The pieces may span the decades of a career or reflect new work produced specifically for the show.
A December 2009 ARTNews feature, The Feminist Evolution by Phoebe Hoban echoed the words of Beauvoir and underscores the timeliness of Convivium33 Gallery's latest show. "Museums are exhibiting an increased sensitivity to collecting and presenting works by women- through new acquisitions, solo shows and a stronger focus on artists who were previously neglected. But true gender equality, critics maintain, remains elusive," Hoban wrote.
Curator Alenka Banco aims to explore a woman's voice during the different stages of life through art. Similar to Beauvoir's 'Facts and Myth's' in book one of The Second Sex, there is a chronicle for womankind not unlike stations of the cross, journeying from girlhood, through puberty and sexual initiation, to maturity and old age. 21st Century Expressions of the Second Sex "reveals art as an individual reflection of womanhood", explains Banco. The exhibit includes artists of various ages at different points in life, and depicts works produced in a variety of media.
