People who want to save money while relocating often choose to rent Moving Trucks and drive them to the destination, themselves. It pays to take time to look for reputed moving truck rental companies that have new trucks and maintain them well.
Some people need one way moving truck rentals that involve picking up the truck from one city and dropping it off at another. Others require a local moving truck rental that involves picking up the truck and dropping it off at the same place.
You can hire moving help for packing, loading, unloading and driving, after comparing prices and customer ratings of service providers, on the Internet. Free storage for a month is offered by some of the moving rental trucks companies.
If you want to avoid the hassles of driving a truck yourself, you can consider using a self moving truck rental service. You pack and load your things on a truck provided by the moving truck rental company, which will drive the truck to the destination, where you can unload and unpack.
Be careful about scheduling the move, since you may have to pay for every extra day, for which you keep the truck or trailer.
Some moving truck rentals companies will ask you to pay an extra charge if you exceed the agreed mileage, while others offer unlimited mileage.
Some moving trucks rental companies have a large number of conveniently located outlets, while other moving trucks and vans rental companies have fewer locations, and you may have to drive a long way to drop off the truck or trailer.
You will probably need to get insurance for the move, which the truck rental company can arrange.
You will find useful information and guidance on our website that will help you to prepare for the move and to find reliable companies that offer cheap moving truck rentals.
To get free quotes from the best moving trucks companies in your area, please fill out the form given on our website. The moving trucks rentals companies will bid for your business and offer you their lowest moving truck rental prices.
There is no cost or obligation involved in this offer and we will not give your contact details to anyone without your written authorization.

Biography Karel Philippus Bernet Kempers
Karel Bernet Kempers was one of the pioneers of musicology in the Netherlands. His greatest achievement in this field, aside from training generations of students, is his 21-volume scholarly edition of the complete works of Clemens non Papa. His book Muziekgeschiedenis [Music History] emphasizes the inherent developmental factors and social conditions that shaped the stylistic changes within the separate genres.
1897 - 1919
Karel Philippus Kempers is born on September 20 in Nijkerk – in 1919 his surname is changed by Royal Decree to Bernet Kempers.
1919 - 1922
In Amsterdam, he studies music theory and composition with Bernard Zweers and music history with Simon van Milligen, author of the first somewhat extensive music history book in Dutch. He also has piano lessons with Gonda van Dam.
1922 - 1928
Musicology not yet being taught in the Netherlands, Bernet Kempers goes to Munich, where he studies with the musicologist Adolf Sandberger. He is awarded his doctorate summa cum laude on a thesis about the motets of the 16th-century composer Jacobus Clemens non Papa, a leading representative of the "fourth generation" of the Low Countries' composers. In 1928, the thesis is published as a book.
Bernet Kempers begins teaching music history at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. He is also taken on as a Privatdozent or volunteer instructor at the University of Amsterdam, thus becoming the first musicologist employed by a Dutch university.
Utrecht University establishes a chair for musicology, occupied by A. Smijers. His intention to move the Vereeniging voor Nederlandsche Muziekgeschiedenis [Society for Dutch Music History] library to Utrecht leads to a conflict with Bernet Kempers, who is able to keep the collection in Amsterdam.
Bernet Kempers writes the first comprehensive music history book in Dutch. His 'Muziekgeschiedenis' sets musical styles and genres in historical perspective without putting too much emphasis on composers' biographical data.
1934 - 1936
Bernet Kempers is appointed professor of music history at the Amsterdam Conservatory. He is secretary of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Toonkunstenaars-Vereniging (KNTV) [The Royal Dutch Society of Musicians] and later becomes its chairman. The collection 'Muziek in der ban der letteren' [Music influenced by Literature] appears in 1936.
1937 - 1939
He is appointed lecturer at the University of Amsterdam. 'Meesters der Muziek' [Masters of Music] is published in 1939, a book that adds to his 'Muziekgeschiedenis' by presenting a series of biographical sketches. Like 'Muziekgeschiedenis', it too is reprinted a number of times.
1940 - 1945
During the German occupation of the Netherlands, Bernet Kempers is active in the artists resistance to the Nazi cultural politics, leading to his incarceration for several months in Scheveningen and Amersfoort.
Bernet Kempers is appointed associate professor in Amsterdam. He often writes for the monthly music journal 'Preludium' and is a member of the Concertgebouw Orchestra board, the Dutch National Arts Council, and the Amsterdam Arts Council.
Bernet Kempers receives a full professorship at the University of Amsterdam and, after a lengthy conflict with the university's administration, an independent musicological institute is established.
Bernet Kempers is appointed professor emeritus. Suffering from a heart condition, he is less active in his later years.
Karel Bernet Kempers dies in Amsterdam on September 30.

Magnetic-Inductive Sensors Detect Weld Nuts
There are 0 comments | Post a comment
Monday, June 1, 2009
Magnetic-inductive sensorsTurck, Minneapolis, MN, has debuted magnetic-inductive sensors for detection of weld nuts. The sensors
use signal attenuation to detect ferromagnetic components such as nuts, bushings and spacer sleeves, and ensure that these components are present prior to robotic welding without the need for additional software or electronics. The sensors can be easily integrated into existing production lines, replacing traditional location bolts as well as optical systems that can malfunction due to residue and changing lighting conditions.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) It defies logic that there are now far more precautions taken to protect NFL players from head trauma than youth and high school football players, said several current or former NFL players speaking on behalf of a group advocating safer sports.
The Sports Legacy Group visited the Super Bowl media center Friday to announce it was launching a national campaign to encourage youth and high school football programs to drastically curb or eliminate contact practices during the offseason.
``This is low-hanging fruit. This is a great way to reduce the amount of hits,'' said former NFL fullback Kevin Turner, his speech slurred slightly because of his struggle with the neuro-muscular disease ALS. ``It's also a great way to teach a team how to practice without pads, and if they can get that done, it will be so much better.''
While scientists and researchers have yet to uncover a conclusive link between head trauma and ALS, a terminal disease which gradually reduces muscle control throughout the body, there are higher documented instances of ALS among pro football players than the general population.
Mounting scientific evidence points to a variety of brain disease resulting from repetitive hits to the head, even if many of those hits do not result in concussions.
``It's absurd that we would let third and fourth graders hit each other,'' said former NFL linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer, who retired from pro football after being diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome. ``For every NFL sideline where there are 10 trainers and six doctors watching every person on the field, there are countless youth and high school sporting events where you're lucky if there's even a trainer.''
The Sports Legacy Group, or SLI, works with the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, and has been a leader in raising public awareness about the dangers of concussions and advocating for safer sports. The NFL has cracked down on flagrant hits in recent years, and is regularly toughening its rules for treating concussions. The league also substantially cut back the number of offseason contact practices in its most recent labor agreement in 2010.
SLI director Chris Nowinski stated that researchers believe the developing brains of children, particularly those younger than 14, are more vulnerable to long-term damage from head trauma than the adult brain.
``In terms of safety, the NFL is really the model,'' Nowinski said. ``In a world where NFL players are more protected than the teenage players, we have a problem and we need to correct it.''
Nowinski said at least 29 states currently allow high school programs to engage in offseason contact practices in spring or summer, including Texas (30 days of contact in spring), Illinois (20 days), and Florida (17 days).
The former players speaking on behalf of SLI included quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, former linebacker Ted Johnson, former offensive lineman Kyle Turley and former linebacker Isaiah Kacyvenski.
The players all said they still love football, but want youth and high school programs to be proactive about making easy, inexpensive decisions to team kids how to practice without pads and drastically reduce young players' exposure to repetitive head hits.
``I love the game of football and I want it fixed,'' Turley said, who has struggles with vertigo since his pro career and often wears sunglasses indoors to help with the symptoms. ``We demand that it be fixed.''
``If places like Texas don't want to value kids' lives then they don't love football,'' Turley said. ``Facts and stats speak for selves. You don't need to hear it from me. ... If you don't believe in statistics, you're an imbecile.''
Hasselbeck said curbing offseason contact in all levels of football is the ``smart thing to do,'' and compared those who resist such measures to coaches who saw water breaks as a sign of weakness back when his father, Don, played pro ball.
``Now we know this is just foolishness, stupid,'' he said.

If ever you had a single question about the felt magic Jim Henson managed to create, chances are Brian Jay Jones' sweeping new biography of the puppeteer will answer it.
Wondered why Miss Piggy is the way she is? Consider that her father was killed in a tractor accident, at least in the elaborate character back story created by the Muppets' masters.
Thought Kermit was always synonymous with frog? Fact is, he had not taken on an amphibious identity in initial appearances, and was not green but the milky blue of an old coat of Henson's mother.
Curious about the Muppets' late-night engagements? Bet you didn't know they once shared a Las Vegas stage with Nancy Sinatra and made regular appearances on "Saturday Night Live."
Jones offers a meticulously researched tome chock-full of gems about the Muppets and the most thorough portrait of their creator ever crafted. Henson's story, from his birth in the Mississippi Delta, to his first forays into puppetry as a teenager, to his sudden death in 1990 at the age of 53, is documented in depth.
We're taken along to the creation of iconic characters, the birth of "Sesame Street," the strain in Henson's marriage, friction with revered children's authors Roald Dahl and Maurice Sendak, and unending merger talks with Disney. We learn Henson's first choice to cast in the central goblin king character of "Labyrinth" was Sting, not David Bowie, who he was swayed to choose by his children. We're told of Henson collapsing in fits of laughter on the set of "The Muppet Show," and how the puppets were so real they could be disarming to crew members.
It is, in a word, exhaustive, and at times, exhausting.
At its low points, the book drags, reading like an old datebook of Henson's, chronicling every Christmas, every vacation, every minor project, every critic's review. But at its best, it gives a glimpse of the silliness on Muppet sets, of Henson's drive and his soft-spoken genius that in such a short life managed to create so much.
It is a better world with the Muppets. And we are better off with this careful account of their master.

Many years ago, a longtime friend started working at 20th Century Fox.
In one of his first meetings in his new job, he was introduced to Tom Sherak, who at the time was senior vice president of Fox Filmed Entertainment, where he worked in marketing and distribution.
"He's like the mayor of Hollywood," the friend said of the gregarious executive.
PHOTOS: Highest-paid media executives of 2012
Nearly two decades later, Sherak more or less has become that person.
In appointing the veteran marketing and distribution executive to be his senior film advisor, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is asking Sherak to become the industry's ambassador at a time when the movie business needs a lot of help.
"The entertainment industry generates more than 500,000 local jobs. Protecting and expanding it is an absolute necessity," Garcetti said in making the announcement Thursday.
Sherak's main responsibility will be keeping film production in Southern California.
Movies and television shows have been abandoning Los Angeles to other states and countries, many of which offer rebates, tax breaks and cheaper labor. Sherak will be asking state leaders for more California production incentives, which now total $100 million, a fraction of what other states such as New York and Louisiana now hand out.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
In every interview about his new job, Sherak has joked that politics, borrowing a line from "Star Trek," is his final frontier. But in many ways, his career up to now has been pointing to a job just like being Garcetti's film czar.
While many careers in Hollywood are overtly political — jobs that demand making influential friends, lobbying others for money, managing duplicitous agents, managers and studio executives — Sherak's past employment has made him particularly well-suited for Garcetti's appointment.
Distribution, Sherak's primary specialty, is the closest version of backroom deal making in Hollywood.
It's the place where distributors (such as Sherak's 20th Century Fox) and exhibitors (the likes of Regal and AMC) hammer out terms for revenue sharing, preferred auditoriums, trailer placement and accounts payable — an unofficial, you-scratch-my-back-and-I-will-scratch-yours world of trading favors that, when done well, benefits all of the parties involved.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
And at Fox, one of Sherak's primary obligations was making sure that George Lucas, whose "Star Wars" films were distributed by Fox, was very, very happy with the studio's handling of his franchise, down to the design of the typeface used in "Star Wars" movie posters. He also had to hold director James Cameron's hands during the release of "Aliens" and "The Abyss." Making peace with Sen. Ted Cruz is probably easier.
Sherak's duties as the past president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences weren't that different. Yes, he was the public face of the academy during its Oscar broadcast, but the president's job included putting out countless internal fires, trying to unite an often fractious membership and dealing with legitimate political problems, especially trying to diversify the academy's overwhelming older, white, male roster.
As a studio executive whose Revolution Studios shot many of its features outside of California, Sherak knows the challenge that awaits him. Just asking Paramount or Warner Bros. to please keep their upcoming feature in Los Angeles won't work.
It all comes down to money. And that's where Hollywood and politics are one in the same.

Kalley Armstrong assisted on Harvard's lone goal against No. 2 Minnesota Saturday (Gil Talbot).
Marissa Gedman's Goal vs. No. 2 Minnesota Nov. 26, 2011
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In a showdown between two of the nation's top teams, the No. 2 Minnesota Golden Gophers' pair of scores was just enough to get past the No. 9 Harvard women's hockey team, as the Crimson fell, 2-1, Saturday afternoon at Bright Hockey Center. Harvard dips to 5-3-0 overall with Minnesota being its first non-conference opponent of the season.
Down, 2-0, past the halfway point of the third period, Harvard finally capitalized on a prime scoring chance as Marissa Gedman put the hosts on the board with 14:25 gone in the final frame. Sophomore Kalley Armstrong won a faceoff in the Minnesota zone back to Gedman, and the defenseman teed up a blast from the right point that found its way through a crowd in front of the net and past Gopher goalie Noora Raty, cutting the deficit in half.
Harvard had its best chance to put in the equalizer with just over two minutes to play in the game as a Minnesota penalty put Harvard on the power play. A handful of looks right at the goalmouth at the start of the skater advantage were turned away and the Minnesota penalty kill proved too strong as the Gophers sealed the 2-1 win.
It was a physical matchup from the get-go and both squads looked aggressive on offense and defense through the whole first period. The Gophers got in a bit of trouble as a two players were sent to the box just three minutes apart on the first frame, but the Crimson was unable to capitalize on two power plays. Minnesota broke the scoreless tie with just under two minutes to play in the opening stanza, when Emily West converted off passes from Sarah Davis and Sarah Erickson at 18:06.
A scoreless second period saw the Crimson kill a pair of penalties, extending its penalties-killed streak to 19. However, the kill was unable to withstand back-to-back infractions just past the halfway point of the third as Minnesota scored promptly after going on a 5-on-3 advantage. Anne Schleper wristed a shot past Laura Bellamy off passes from Amanda Kessel and Jen Schoullis for the eventual game-winner at 12:03 of the third.
Bellamy was stellar once again in net for Harvard, notching 29 saves in the game and keeping the Crimson in contention despite a number of great Minnesota looks right on the doorstep. Her counterpart Raty collected 26 saves in the game.
Harvard and Minnesota wrap up the two-game series tomorrow in a 1:00 p.m. contest.

I recently had a bad flashback. I was lying in bed trying to fall asleep when I was hit with a vivid memory from my time as a Transportation Security Administration officer at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. It was 2008, and I was conducting a bag check when three of my TSA colleagues got into an argument with a passenger at the checkpoint. Things got pretty heated.
The subject of debate? Whether mashed potatoes were a liquid or a solid.
Story Continued Below
In the end, of course, the TSA agents had the last word: Since the potatoes took the shape of their container, they were determined to be a liquid—specifically, a gel. That's the official TSA line. "Liquids, aerosols and gels over 3.4 ounces cannot be brought through security." The potatoes were forcibly surrendered.
If you're anything like me, you may have thought, "Well, mashed potatoes are technically gelatinous, so…"—which sends one down the rabbit hole of bureaucratic absurdity that ends with a passenger looking a TSA officer in the eye and saying, "Do you really think my mashed potatoes are a terrorist threat?" And the officer, if he or she is just an all-around tool, saying: "Ma'am, possibly. Rules are rules."
I've had a lot of flashbacks lately—nearly buried memories that have come flooding back ever since Politico Magazine published " Dear America, I Saw You Naked," my first-person account of working for the TSA and anonymously blogging about my adventures in airport security.
Another one: It's 2010, and a passenger is trying to bring her live goldfish through security. One of my co-workers informs her that the fish can go through but the water cannot. The woman is on the verge of tears when a supervisor steps in to save the fish's life.
And another: Working alongside a screener who always demanded that pacifiers be removed from infants' mouths and submitted for X-ray screening before the babies and their mothers were permitted to pass through the metal detectors.
Perhaps the biggest surprise to come out of what I now see as the life-changing experience of having my story go viral is the realization of just how much I still have left to tell about my six years at the TSA—the strange checkpoint happenings, the colorful passengers and the outrageous, real-life TSA characters.
Americans took my initial report as confirmation of what they always dreaded about a humiliating experience so many millions of them had shared. But I also realized that there was a part of the story I hadn't fully told: about a government agency and its leaders, and how they came up with the absurd policies that turned me and my colleagues into just-following-orders Mashed Potato Police.
Soon after the article went up on the Politico website, I sent a note to my editor marveling at the fact that I had 30 new Twitter followers, up from a grand total of 240. I'd thought my article would get passed around in government and civil-liberties circles—a curiosity story of an anonymous TSA blogger unmasking himself, and that would be it.
Little did I know that within a few hours I'd be getting an average of three emails a minute—in the middle of the night—including interview requests from Good Morning America, Today, NBC Nightly News, The Kelly File and many others. And while my 30 new followers had at first seemed like a big deal, a few days later I had more than 5,000. Stephen Colbert even joked about my story. Stephen Colbert!
I got more emails in response to the article than I had in my entire year and a half writing my blog, Taking Sense Away, even when I revealed on the blog that the "nude" scanners didn't work and that TSA employees were making predictably awful jokes about passengers' bodies. I got only one piece of hate mail in response to my Politico Magazine article: an anonymous message that informed me that I was a "goon" because, it said, "Once a TSA goon, always a TSA goon."
A few people did reach out to warn me that I am almost certainly being monitored by intelligence agencies now that I have revealed myself as a critic of the TSA. "My ex-husband is now a senior executive at the NSA at Fort Meade," one said. "The NSA will probably track you."
I'm not sure how credible these warnings are, but after being the subject of two official government responses—in which TSA denied and downplayed the claims made on my blog and in my essay—it's hard not to worry that I'm being watched. I've received so many letters making this point that I now take it for granted that my every online move is being monitored by someone, somewhere. If the truth is more banal, so be it: I'd much rather be paranoid and wrong.
Most of the responses from current and former TSA employees were just as supportive as those from the general public—and that was another surprise. Quite a few read like letters from inmates: "Hi Jason. Remember me? We worked Terminal 1 together for a year-long bid. I am so glad you made it out and are doing something interesting with your life! Patting down crotches all day was the worst, wasn't it?"
But some TSA employees saw my essay as an attempt to smear frontline workers. They were angry that I seemed to place responsibility for the agency's problems squarely on the shoulders of low-ranking employees, rather than focusing on upper management and underlying organizational problems.
That was the argument in the email that gave me the most pause, a note from one of my former co-workers at O'Hare: "Obviously, TSA is not my dream job," it said. "Sometimes I go home crying. I'd love it if you wrote more about the incompetency of the managers who got their jobs because of who they know. What you did will definitely make my job harder, because who will be attacked? Every worker on the floor in a uniform. Am I angry? No. But write more. Tell about those unqualified managers who take no part in the checkpoint operation, and who humiliate their workers. I know you've seen it all. Tell them."
It's an important point, and in fact that was my goal in launching my blog while still working on the TSA payroll: to call attention to the agency's systemic flaws, while also defending the good, hardworking members of the nearly 50,000-deep frontline TSA workforce.
The agency was the product of a panicked national moment—fertile soil for poor decision-making—and irrationality was etched into the TSA's DNA. Like most passengers, the average screener regrets the atmosphere of "permanent emergency" that has permeated airport checkpoints since 9/11,a reactionary culture passed down from TSA leadership year after year. And yet the most common concerns among TSA screeners usually stem from organizational flaws closer to the checkpoint floor.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon has invaded the box office - providing one of the coolest eye-candy experiences moviegoers will see all summer. Despite an overlong runtime and some plot-holes, both fans and critics (read our Transformers 3 review) have praised the movie for its exciting and over-the-top final act - which looks especially cool as an IMAX 3D experience.
However, while the visuals excel, the stars of the film - the cybernetic organisms known as "Transformers" - are, with a few exceptions, somewhat under-served and underdeveloped once again. As a result, many fans were left scratching their heads, trying to figure out which bot was which, while speculating on backstories for the more obscure characters.
To combat the confusion, we've put together a list of every credited bot that either returns for Transformers Dark of the Moon or makes their feature film debut - including a brief description and image for each character (retreads such as the Barricade and Brawl clones in the film are not included). Admittedly, with the film still fresh in theaters, images and info for a couple of characters won't be as readily available as others - so we'll be updating this Transformers 3 character guide as new images and details appear online. In addition, we're hard at work on a full guide to every Transformer featured in Michael Bay's robot trilogy (including the Mountain Dew bot) which we'll unveil in the coming days.
In the meantime, check out the guide below - and then head over to our Transformers 3 spoilers post to discuss any character details that might be spoiler-ish for fans who have yet to see the film.
Brains - Autobot
Description: Once a Decepticon drone unit, Brains unexpectedly became sentient and escaped his evil masters - taking refuge with reformed Decepticon Wheelie. Brains hides in plain site as a laptop computer and is extremely loyal to his human friends - not to mention committed to seeing the Decepticons annihilated.
Bumblebee - Autobot
Description: Bumblebee is an Autobot scout and one of Optimus Prime's most trusted allies. What he lacks in strength, he makes up for with determination, bravery and loyalty - gladly giving his life if necessary to protect others and stop the Decepticons. When not transformed as a Chevrolet Camaro, he enters battle with a plasma cannon on his right arm. He lost the ability to speak when his voice processor was damaged during a fight with Megatron - though he still communicates with human allies using various Earth radio frequencies.
Dino - Autobot
Description: Dino is a close quarters-combat Autobot that transforms into red Ferrari 458 Italia. Some fans will notice the character is referred to as Mirage in the Dark of the Moon videogame and other marketing - however, in honor of Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredo aka "Dino" (who died at the age of 24), the character's name was altered for the final movie.
The Dreads: Crankcase, Crowbar, Hatchet - Decepticons
Description: The Dreads are a trio of Decepticons (lead by Crankcase) who transform into black Chevrolet Suburban emergency SUVs. While Crankcase and Crowbar have beastly, albeit humanoid, alternate forms, when not in vehicle form, Hatchet appears as a cybernetic lion. In Dark of the Moon, the trio faces-off against Bumblebee, Ironhide, and Dino in a highway chase.
Check out each of The Dreds in detail below:
The Dreds: Crankcase - Decepticon
The Dreds: Crowbar - Decepticon
The Dreds: Hatchet - Decepticon
Driller - Decepticon
Description: The driller was one of many native Cybertronian creatures, until it was domesticated by Shockwave prior to the destruction of Cybertron. Shockwave now commands the leviathan. Though the bot is never shown in full, appearing mostly as a series of wriggling robotic tentacles, the Driller does appear to have a "head" of sorts - fitted with bladed "teeth" as pictured in the image above.
Igor - Decepticon
Description: First spotted at Megatron's African camp, Igor is a small and disfigured Decepticon bootlicker. Igor's combined portrayals in the Dark of the Moon novelization and early concept art could indicate that the character is actually Long Haul's decapitated head. Unlike similarly-sized peons such as Wheelie and Brains, Igor lacks an alternate form and does not contribute to the overall war in any meaningful capacity - unless you count chewing on various items as a meaningful contribution.
Ironhide - Autobot
Description: Ironhide serves as the Autobot weapons specialist. He is one of Optimus Prime's oldest friends, though they don't always see eye to eye – with Ironhide at times pushing Autobot collateral damage codes to achieve faster results. Ironhide's vehicle mode is a GMC Topkick and his weapons arsenal consists of machine guns, plasma cannons and a devastating Gatling missile launcher, ensuring he is always the first into battle with the Decepticons.

I bought half a bushel of honey crisp apples today from the apple farm. The lady at the apple stand told me the cold room would be the perfect place to store the apples and I could keep them even till January! She said a basket would be ideal to hold them to allow air circulation. I don't have a basket but another customer who bought a whole bushel said she just put them on a tray.
When I got home I decided to continue my storage reorganization project in the newly renovated basement. That's when I found the perfect thing for the apples – this food tray with cover that my mum bought for me when my parents went on a holiday to Bali, an island in Indonesia:
These aren't the easiest thing to bring back from a holiday as the covers can be easily ripped or the thin bamboo strip broken so… thanks, Mum! I appreciate it!!
The food trays comes in a set of three and this one is the biggest. When I was living in Malaysia, I would buy pastries and desserts and put them in the tray and pull the cover over to keep flies away. We leave our windows open all the time and sometimes a fly or two do fly in!
These food trays have been hiding in the basement long enough. I'm glad I found them again! Come next summer, they'll be used more often, especially on the patio table to keep flies and bees off the BBQ!

Since 1991, the Malibu Foundation for Environmental Education in conjunction with LA Sanitation (LASAN) coordinates the annual "Kids Ocean Day Adopt-a-Beach Clean-Up" in Los Angeles. Every year, thousands of Los Angeles school children, parents, teachers and volunteers come together at Dockweiler State Beach for a massive clean-up and aerial art formation, and to raise awareness of the adverse impacts of ocean litter and pollution.
The beach clean-up and aerial art formation are the culmination of a year-long school education program that teaches kids the power of everyday actions to protect and preserve our oceans and natural world. The program emphasizes that clean beaches and oceans start with clean neighborhoods, and reinforces the environmental ethic that is at the heart of LASAN's school outreach programs. Through this program kids see the ocean and make the connection with their lives and their neighborhoods in a tangible and compelling way, and make the connection between the ocean and the harm of litter.
Kids Ocean Day 2015
Kids Ocean Day 2015 was one for the history books.
This year, Mother Nature's late spring rain arrived just as 3,500 of us were taking our places in the sand. The kids were troopers, standing in their soggy shirts, determined to form a large mosaic (we were creating a school of 20 fish). But the cloud cover meant the helicopter couldn't take off, so for the first time in 22 years, Kids Ocean Day wouldn't end with aerial art.
It was disappointing, but there were some silver linings, too. For one, it reminded us that the true gift of Kids Ocean Day is the clean-up. Every day, each one of us—without helicopters or cameras, rain or shine—can do our part. We can pick up litter. We can recycle and compost. We can dispose of toxic waste properly at a S.A.F.E. Center.
Secondly, Kids Ocean Day isn't the only one making history. With California battling an historic drought, every rain drop (even the inconvenient ones) is a blessing.
See you at the beach next year!

If you answered with mostly...
A: You could have a Fire dominated personality. You are quick-thinking, passionate, friendly, and impulsive, and have a playful side. Those who are too fiery could be too loud and critical. Smother your flames a bit by adding Earth Elements to bring balance.
B: You have an abundance of Earth in your life. You are nurturing, stable, honest, and diplomatic. You are reliable, though sometimes overly so. Too much earthiness can keep you from making changes in your life. Add Metal Elements to brighten your prospects.
C: You have Metal Elements prevalent in your nature. You are focused, disciplined, ethical, and eloquent. You value precision but could be overly critical at times. Highly metallic personalities can have solid boundaries that even loved ones have trouble penetrating. Allow flowing Water Elements to soften your hard exterior.
D: You have an abundance of Water Elements in your character. You are creative, contemplative, patient, and self-aware. You feel things deeply and tend to internalize these feelings. Some watery people are easily overwhelmed and have trouble making decisions. Invite Wood Elements into your life to absorb your fluid emotions.
E: Your disposition is ruled by Wood energy. Woodsy folks are confident, ambitious, determined, and compassionate. You work hard but sometimes too hard. An abundance of Wood causes you to push yourself and others past a reasonable limit. Add some playful Fire Elements to help you take life less seriously.
Evenly: You are well-balanced, and all Five Elements seem are working in harmony.
How did you do? Was the Element you are most drawn to the same one you are using to decorate your home or office?

This requires a steady course of reading. Even if you only read the Wall Street Journal for 15 minutes every afternoon, or Business Week every Sunday morning, stay in touch with the world around you and be prepared to comment and express your own opinions on various topics during your interview season. You might actually find that it makes you a better, more informed person all around.
Then take that better, more-informed person you are and choose a few works from the further readings mentioned in your textbook. Few investments will pay you better dividends.

Oh and good luck with the elixir, I think it might sell well:-)

Is there already trouble in paradise for Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom? The couple are supposed to be married Sunday, but problems with a prenuptial agreement cause some wedding-day jitters, according to TMZ.com.
Here's the rub: According to TMZ, Odom decided at the last minute that he wanted a prenup. But lawyers for the happy couple are arguing over the details, and don't expect to have it done in time for the Sunday ceremony. And the ceremony can't be postponed, because a reality show is footing is $1 million bill -- and the contract stipulates the ceremony take place Sunday.
So what's the happy couple going to do? They might do a postnup -- which basically means they'll have a fake marriage on Sunday, then iron out the details afterwards, and then perform the legal marriage ceremony.
For Odom, the Lakers star, and Kardashian, a reality TV star, this is just a hiccup in a whirlwind romance. The two first met one month ago, at a party Kardashian hosted to welcome Ron Artest, the newest Laker, to Los Angeles. Since then, reports say the two have been inseparable.
Here's hoping that a little legalese won't disrupt the wedding bliss.

Giants salute team effort in flag-raising ceremony
SAN FRANCISCO -- The very first glimpse Giants players and their fans had of the bright orange 2012 World Series championship banner that would soon make its home in right-center field at AT&T Park, it was unfurled across the bow of a fire boat, slowly making its way through McCovey Cove toward the ballpark.
Soon, with a crew of familiar Giants stars doing the honors, it was raised into the breezy San Francisco sky, a packed house of fans waving their miniature flags celebrating the team's second championship in three seasons.
Another banner day at AT&T Park had officially begun Friday afternoon, with the hometown heroes preparing to play the Cardinals, the team they'd vanquished in the National League Championship Series to reach the 2012 World Series, won in four games against the Tigers.
In a ceremony that joined players with fans in celebrating the team's 2012 accomplishment, the banner was escorted into the ballpark by the bay in the hands of lifelong Giants fans, who handed it off to manager Bruce Bochy and a crew of players to finish the job.
Like the 2012 title, it was a group effort, from beginning to end -- the manager, the players and the fans all enjoying the ride.
"This is about sharing the joy, sharing the accomplishment," said Hunter Pence, who arrived in July and became an inspirational leader for the club in October. "That's what we do it for. We do it for each other. We do it together."
With master of ceremonies and Giants broadcaster Jon Miller welcoming fans to the "best address in baseball," the flag-raising ceremony was part of gala pregame activities leading up to the Giants' home opener. It included the normal and traditional, including baseline introductions of both the Giants and the Cardinals -- complete with a rousing ovation for former Giants catcher and current Cardinals coach Bengie Molina and boos for Matt Holliday, who barreled into Marco Scutaro in the NLCS last year -- and a rendition of the national anthem by the national tour cast from the Broadway musical "Jersey Boys."
But this was to be a different ceremony, starting with the Giants entering the ballpark, one by one, through a gate in center field. Bochy began the parade, toting the 2012 World Series trophy and placing it on a pedestal behind second base, next to the 2010 trophy. It also included ceremonial first pitches by current players in a break from tradition, with NLCS MVP Scutaro and World Series MVP Pablo Sandoval taking to the mound.
And with the World Series flag arriving on a San Francisco Fire Department water vessel, this indeed would be a different way to celebrate a different title -- even if it's the second in three years.
"As a service to the 2012 team and as a service to our fans, we don't want a carbon copy of the way we commemorated 2010, for a lot of reasons," Giants president and CEO Larry Baer said. "One of them is that each year is a different movie, and 2012 had its own set of amazing, unique features. The one in 2010 was the first, so that's huge. But look at 2012, it was overcoming adversity."
In the flag-raising ceremony, Pence joined with outfielder Angel Pagan, another newcomer a year ago, in a group with Ryan Vogelsong and career Giants Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum and Sergio Romo in receiving the banner from six fans who'd taken it from the fire crew on the boat, then escorted it through the famous arcade in right field. The players walked it up a temporary ladder in the corner in right-center and raised the banner to the delight of the fans.
"Your emotions are flying and to see the flag come in and see the fans involved, it's overwhelming, it really is," Bochy said after the Giants' 1-0 victory over the Cardinals. "It's amazing what they did last year and all the attention that they deserve. We still had to be ready to play a good ballgame, and they did that, too. But I will say before the game, they all had chills and goosebumps, and some guys had tears. It's a special day."
For Brandon Belt, it truly was a brand-new take on a similar experience from two years earlier. He was a rookie in 2011 and wasn't on the 2010 title-winning team, so he was mostly a spectator for the ceremonies commemorating that title.
"I was able to kind of watch it during the 2011 season and it was a cool experience, it was pretty awesome," Belt said. "I dreamt that one day that maybe I could be in that situation, and that day is finally here."
One more big day is coming this weekend. After the team honors NL MVP Buster Posey on Saturday, the players will receive their World Series rings Sunday.
"I tell everybody that's the final piece of the puzzle," Belt said. "I think that's when we can finally feel like it's complete and feel like a world champion putting that World Series ring on your finger."
The Giants can't share those valuable pieces of jewelry -- although fans will receive replicas Sunday -- but they shared a bright orange banner with them Friday, leaving it atop a flagpole overlooking the bay for all to see.
Said Pence: "I think the amazing part about it is getting to share it with the fans. We had a lot of fun in that run last year and I was grateful to be a part of it. To be able to share it with the city of San Francisco, it's very humbling."

The Prime Minister said funding for the Start-Up Loans scheme is being boosted by £30m to £110m over the next three years. The age limit for applicants has also been raised from 24 to 30.
The Government said the move was a response to strong demand but critics suggested the extension is an effort to kick-start the initiative following a slow start.
The scheme provides loans of around £2,500 and business advice to young entrepreneurs. Since it launched last autumn, just 460 businesses have been funded, following applications from 3,000 people. The Government said 2,500 loans will have been issued by March.
Mr Cameron said: "Start-up loans are a great way to help this next generation of entrepreneurs get the financial help – and the confidence – to turn that spark of an idea into a growing, thriving business."
However, Malcolm Evans, an investor in start-ups, said the scheme is "badly thought out" and supports a "dangerous idea that there's a business in everyone. There isn't. Playing a game of 'let's all be entrepreneurs' does not address the terribly serious social issue of the shortfall in good jobs".

It should be known by all users that we, as staff members, hold YOU responsible for having a basic understanding of these rules. We aren't going to put up with the "I didn't know!" line. We don't have the rules hidden away.
For a current list of staff, click here
If you don't understand IRC related things click here
General PBA Rules: These apply to all aspects of the game including the Forum and IRC
1. If you find an exploitable bug or glitch, report it to a mod or admin. Don't post it anywhere on the public forum or the chat because other users WILL abuse it. And certainly don't go asking for cheats or abuse it yourself either.
2. Keep your usernames and messages respectful and appropriate for all ages. Usernames that are deemed inappropriate may be banned without warning.
- Usernames and messages are not to have any kind of cussing or swearing in it.
- Do not post messages that contain things that are of an explicit or sexual nature.
- Messages that use or mimic censored swearing (such as "****") are not allowed. We can read the context that it is used in..
- Nicknames and messages that make people believe you are staff (like "admin" or "mod") are not allowed
- Do not impersonate the nicknames of other people. This includes near-impersonating people like "Sharks14".
- Do not use nicknames for the purpose of insulting others (this includes changing other nicks to make fun out of them).
4. Trade ONLY within the PBA forum, gamesite or IRC. No trading on other sites, trading things from other sites, or trading real-world money.
5. Sharing accounts with other users is NOT allowed. It's unfair and in case of rule breaking we likely won't help you because it's your fault for giving your password to them!
- You are not allowed to "give away", sell or trade accounts either, due to the potential for it to cause large problems.
- Just don't give out your password at all.
- Repeating words or sentences over and over is considered spam.
- Saying the same thing twice in a row or seperated is spamming!
- Excessive text and punctuation is considered spam.
- No upside down letters. Example : ¡¿¡¿¡¿ sǝɯıʇǝɯos ƃuısnqɐ ǝɹɐ sɹǝʎɐןd ɥɔıɥʍ sɹǝʇʇǝן uʍop ǝpısdn sı sıɥʇ ( Thanks to massy911)
- No backwards letters. Example: !egassem sdrawkcab a si siht iH This is also considered spamming.
8. Do not advertise non-affiliated Pokemon Game Sites, other mmorpgs or product advertising. You may discuss non-pokemon related RPGs.
9. No asking for personal information or sharing the personal information of other people. This includes real name, age etc.
10. Do not annoy other people with randomness, ignorance, and/or stupidity. This includes asking other players to do things for you, begging for free stuff, or asking to be staffed.
11. Do not harass, fight or purposely annoy other users. Do not troll, be respectful and polite.
- Do not provoke others into a fight.
- Provocation can be determined by mods from the context of the dialogues, and mods may ban when deemed appropriate.
- Trolling can involve violating any of the rules mentioned in this topic, but is usually stuff done in rule 10. Again, context is what determines this.
13. Scamming is not allowed.
- Scamming is engaging in fraudulent activities to gain money, items, information or Pokemon from another person.
- Protect yourself from scamming and only do business with people you trust.
- Staff may intervene in scam cases as they see fit.
15. Please do not snoop into the database of the game or forum, or post links to there. Stuff is not meant to come out until it comes out, and snooping in there for images or information just lessens the chance of things being released.
16. This is not a dating site. Do not try to romantically involve yourself with other people or ask people to be your boyfriend or girlfriend.
17. No botting, macroing, auto-clicking or any other forms of cheating allowed. Play the game legitimately.
18. Listen to the staff and do not order them around. They want what's best for you and may become involved with any in-game problems you may have. If you feel a staff member is overstepping their power of authority please report it to an admin with adequate proof.
IRC specific rules: In addition to the General PBA rules above, these rules also apply to IRC:
==Network rules APPLY in the PBA channels and any violation will see you reported to the network staff. Your network priveliges may be revoked and we are not to be held responsible for your violations, you have been warned!==
To view the current BitsJoint IRC Network policies click here.
1. Use your in game/forum nickname. Inappropriate nicknames, or nicknames used for the purpose of annoying another user may be banned on the spot.
2. Only 1 nick per person. In the case of BNCs, you are allowed to log in under a second nick only if you are unable to log into your BNC at the given time.
3. #PBA and #PBAtrades only allows English. Use a translator if you can't speak English there. Go to #pba-international if you want to chat in other languages.
4. Do not attempt to do any sort of trading in #PBA. #PBAtrades is the ONLY channel that allows trading right now (pbaauctions is closed). You can also use PMs to trade but don't go mass PMing people with them.
5. Outside bots/scripts that disturb the channel are not permitted in the channels.
6. Be respectful to people in PMs, notices and memos (no swearing, trolling etc.)
7. If one of your accounts has been banned, do NOT go on another and ask to be unbanned. It is ban evasion and both accounts will be banned until further notice.
8. Additional rules regarding trading and auctioning:
- Do not tell people to press numbers if they want to trade...an example is username : press 888 for suicune
- Due to the closure of #pbaauctions, auctions are to be held in #pbatrades only and not in #pba.
- Auctions are to start with a minimum bid of 2 million (this is to reduce the amount of auction spam in #pbatrades)
- No false bidding. This includes bringing in alt nicks to raise the bid, or bidding amounts you don't intend to actually pay.
- Once you start an auction you are required to finish it, even if the winning bid was not the amount you wanted.
Forum-specific rules: In addition to the General PBA rules above, these rules also apply to the forum:
1. Keep your profile/signature website links appropriate. No pornographic-related websites.
2. No stealing fan art, give credit if credit is due. Plagiarism is not cool.
3. Do not remake threads that have already been made by another user. Check the forums to make sure it hasn't been appointed/answered yet. (For questions, take a look at the FAQ and Quick Question thread!)
4. Do not post over-sized picture(s) in your signature. Signature images should not exceed 300px in height total for the user-editable signature space area.
5. One forum account per person. There really isn't a need for more. It is basically a cheap way of getting around the rules.
6. Spamming to enter a clan may result in your post count being frozen, being denied entry to a clan, and being denied the privilege of creating a clan. Spamming in general is bad but the forum has additional consequences for doing so.
For most others, we hope that common sense prevails.
Failure to follow any of the above rules may result in a warning, kick or ban depending on severity and the preference of the staff responding.

Neighbor catches teens getting high on air conditioner fluid | Crime
ATLANTA -- In the past three years, Herman Lorenz has shelled out hundreds of dollars for air conditioner repairs.
But there's nothing wrong with his unit; the problem is what's being stolen. And it's not copper.
Lorenz happened to be home Monday afternoon when he heard noises on his back porch. He looked outside and saw four teens gathered around his air conditioning unit.
"One was laying down this way, one was over the top of the air conditioner," he said, pointing to the unit. "I don't know whether they're just breathing it in or if they're actually trying to get directly into the valve."
It turns out the teens were inhaling freon, the chemical inside the unit, to get high. Lorenz said the teens didn't seem fazed by his presence, even when he pulled his camera out to snap their pictures.
"These kids were obviously on something really heavy duty," he said. "It was like they were just zombies."
Lorenz believes the kids target his backyard because it's well hidden. Over the past three years it has become a rather expensive pattern, he said -- one that costs nearly $400 to fix each time it happens.
Martin Hoover, owner of Empire Heating and Air in Decatur, said his company does not get many calls like this, but said Freon theft does seem to be a growing trend.
Most of the calls begin with people thinking they have a leak.
"After you do a leak search, you don't find a leak, you charge it up and then next week you get another call, you can start making that assumption," Hoover said.
Companies are now making special caps to go over air conditioner valves, removable only with a key. The locking cap was designed to prevent this type of theft from occurring.

Half-Baked by Nordman
We ain't got nothing to do it's friday

Chorus: noreaga (repeat 2x)
Smoke weed nigga and let me see y'all smoke
And get high nigga and let me hear y'all choke
And drink some hennesay nigga
And you can mix it with coke
I hit the bar up with cream and wont leave till I'm broke
--=={1st verse}==--
Aiyyo I'm half baked
Half of my brain done baked
Married to marijuana, yo she got a fat ass
But know I fuck with her sister
Yo her name black hash
We have menaj in the car kid and still don't crash
Cousin heineken had me flipping and dippin
I hate that bitch but you I'm still sippin

Flew us out of town kid, charge it to the visa
We all drunk up fucked up and smoked out too
Sometimes I get so high I think I do kung-fu
Straight sneeze on niggaz

Thought I told em I'm rude
Coke head niggaz try to sober up in the new
I went to philly smoked weed with red and meth
It was phillie after phillie then still acting silly then

Wassup y'all ain't nothing wrong with that

I ain't a role model nigga but I model my raps
If I could do it all over still live in iraq
I probably come back and try to save my man killa black
I save my bloody money kid and bring it to laundromats

Get right up in ya business nigga like I was a private eye

Increasing awareness of the linkages between climate and health is fundamental to taking protective actions against climate related health risks.
The WHO secretariat, and through its country and regional offices, supports the development of a range of materials and activities which can raise awareness and build capacity of UN staff, health professionals, multisectoral actors, and the general public to better understand and prevent negative impacts of climate change on health.
WHO produces a range of policy briefings, scientific articles, factsheets, bulletins, and formal training opportunities on climate and health. An e-learning format of the Climate and Health Course and development other learning resources for non-health professionals are planned in 2010. Some of these materials are featured below.
Learning on climate change and human health
Climate change is expected to adversely impact the lives and health of billions of people over the next decades. But do you know how climate change can actually affect human health? And what countries can do to respond to this challenge? Find out about these and other issues through the UN CC: Learn learning interface on climate change and human health.
If you are a newcomer to the area of climate change, start with the UN CC: Learn introductory e-course on climate change (blue box below). If you already know the basics about climate change, explore the issue of climate change and health by clicking on of the advanced learning topics below. You will be guided to the best available resources for each area.
Mainstreaming gender in health adaptation to climate change programmes

This chapter provides considerations and practices that can help you create efficient 5800 system applications.
The following topics are discussed:
Client applications should place API calls within retry loops to handle cases such as storage node failover. One immediate retry should be sufficient in the great majority of cases. In some cases of node failover, retries should be pursued for up to 30 seconds.
When the 5800 system server is sufficiently loaded, client timeouts may occur. To avoid this, maximum client threads should no greater than 25 times the number of nodes. For example, on a full-cell with 16 storage nodes, the maximum client threads should be less than or equal to 25 times 16, or 400 client threads.
There is a hard limit when querying a live 5800 system or hive on the combined size of query parameters and literal values that can be processed in one query. The limit is slightly over 8000 bytes. The query string itself does not count against this limit, just the parameter and literal values in the query.
Each additional parameter or literal in the query contributes 2 bytes of overhead plus the number of bytes to represent the query value. For this calculation, each date or time value consumes 4 bytes. Each long, double, or timestamp value consumes 8 bytes. A binary or char field consumes the same number of bytes as the length of the value. A string value consumes twice as many bytes as the length of the value. These sizes are similar to what is described in the Sun StorageTek 5800 System Administration Guide, Table 7-6, Number of Bytes Used by Each Element Type in a Schema Table.
For example, assume dynamic parameter 1 is bound to string "Hello" in the query system.test.type_string=?. The parameter length would then be 12 bytes: 2 bytes overhead plus 10 bytes for a 5-character string parameter.
Conversely, note that in the query system.test.type_string like '%Hello%' that the parameter is 16 bytes: 2 bytes overhead plus 14 bytes for a 7 character string regardless of the declared size of the system.test.type_string field in the schema.
For the query system.test.type_date = {date '2007-01-1'} AND system.test.type_char='Hello', the parameter length is 13 bytes: 2 bytes overhead for each of two query values plus 4 bytes for a date literal plus 5 bytes for a 5-character char parameter.
When designing a schema, limit the sizes of fields so that planned queries will fit within the size limits. Most simple queries on a single table will fit within the 8000-byte limit. This is because the table row definition itself must fit within the similar 8080-bytes for overall table row size. Also note that complex queries on even a single table (such as queries involving many OR clauses) may overflow the limit. Schema design and query design must work together carefully if complex queries are an important part of the application.
For further information, see Query Size Limit.
Queries should use a reasonable value of "results per fetch" when a large total result set size is expected. The maximum result size should not exceed the memory allocated for the query engine on the server side. If it does, then the query will fail. Dropping the query result size will allow the query to succeed.
If you incorrectly estimate how much memory will be used by the result set, the server will not fail gracefully with an appropriate error message, but will instead run out of memory.
Suggested values are in the 2000-5000 range. Set maxFetchSize = 4098 as an argument to the query method.
