A man accused of killing a TSA officer in November in a shooting rampage at Los Angeles International Airport was indicted on Tuesday.
More Coverage: LAX Shooting | TSA Officer Coroner's Report | Timeline of Events
The indictment accuses Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23, of the murder of a federal officer, attempted murder of a federal officer and allegations for the use of a gun at an airport.
Ciancia allegedly walked into the terminal the morning of Nov. 1, pulled a Smith & Wesson 5.56-mm M&P15 semiautomatic rifle out of a duffel bag and opened fire, court documents said.
Local news from across Southern California
TSA agent Gerardo Hernandez, a 39-year-old father of two, was fatally shot. TSA Officers Tony Grigsby and James Speer were wounded in the attack. A teacher was also wounded.
Ciancia was hospitalized after police shot him, but released into federal custody Nov. 19.
Ciancia was targeting TSA officers, court papers said. He allegedly had a signed note saying he wanted to kill TSA agents and "instill fear in their traitorous minds," authorities said.
Witnesses to the shooting said the gunman asked them whether they worked for the TSA, and if they said no, he moved on.

He was also charged with committing acts of violence at an international airport, one count of using a firearm to commit murder, three counts of brandishing and discharging a firearm.
The charges carry a possible death sentence, although federal prosecutors say they have not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty.

Maureen H. Berry, Editor UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS DOCTORAL RESEARCH The main emphasis in this edition of doctoral research review is on finance: both public and private and from the viewpoints of both investors and investees. We commence with Haiti's survey of risks and returns to corporate bondholders during the period 1950-1974. Traditionally, investors have considered well-rated corporate bonds as a safe and lucrative investment and, with respect to safety at lest, Haiti's research confirmed this. It was another story, how-ever, with respect to returns. On the average, investment grade bonds returned only 2.71 percent over the twenty-five year period reviewed—which could be a significant finding for those investors attracted to corporate bonds because of the unprecedentedly high yields in recent years. We shift the focus from the lender to the borrower and from the domestic to the overseas markets and look at the Brazilian experience with private external borrowing. Moura's research examined portfolio capital behavior in a large developing country, concentrating on private sector active borrowing in external financial markets, and found strong interrelationships between the stock of foreign debt and the level of domestic income. From the private sector, we move on to examine borrowing at the macro level. Feldstein's study of New York's municipal debt structure during the period 1962-72 highlighted the key role played by the mayor in deciding how to finance the operating and capital needs of the city. Using a variety of data sources, including eight case studies, Feldstein showed that the traditional use of property taxes and long-term financing for operating and capital needs were, time after time, rejected in favor of the politically expedient issue of short-term debt. Municipal debt is, of course, an integral part of public budgeting. Once again we travel overseas: this time to review Shahroodi's study of the Iranian budgetary system during the years 1960-1976 when it progressed from a typical line-item structure towards a more program budget orientation. However, the system still had a long way to go towards reaching program budget status and Shahroodi's recommendations for improvement included in-creased involvement by the people and by the parliament.

Oregon retains law firm in light of allegations
LOS ANGELES — Oregon released a statement prior to Tuesday's Pac-12 media day activities at Fox Studio announcing that it "continues to fully cooperate" with the NCAA's ongoing review of an alleged improper relationship by coach Chip Kelly with a football recruiting service operated by Willie Lyles in Houston.
The university said it has retained outside counsel from the law firm of Bond Schoeneck & King which has experience in dealing with NCAA compliance matters.
According to media reports there are allegations that Oregon paid a substantial sum — reported to be $25,000 — to Lyles to help steer running backs LaMichael James and Lache Seastrunk to the Ducks program.
Kelly deflected questions from the media concerning the allegations.
"I would love to talk to you," Kelly told reporters. "When findings are made public, I'd love to answer all the questions. There are a lot of misconceptions."
Oregon senior tight end David Paulsen, the Ducks' player representative at the Pac-12 media day, said of the allegations: "I don't think it's really affecting us as players. We're focused on the weight room and getting ready for this season."
From the Portland Oregonian newspaper, here's the release from Oregon:
"The University of Oregon football program, from Coach Chip Kelly through the entire organization, has tremendous respect for the NCAA's important role in monitoring collegiate athletics and, to this end, continues to fully cooperate with the NCAA's ongoing review.
"The University of Oregon is committed to holding itself and the individuals associated with the University accountable to the highest standards."
"As part of the University's commitment to accountability, we want to reiterate that the institution takes this matter very seriously and remains dedicated to an open and transparent approach with the NCAA.
"The university has retained outside counsel for this matter, Bond Schoeneck & King, a prominent and well-respected law firm with a practice group focused on NCAA compliance matters. The firm has been charged with making an independent assessment of the football program's use of outside recruiting services. In addition, they have been asked to provide the University with recommendations for areas of improvement within the football program and athletics department in order to meet best practices. We look forward to making the recommendations public at the conclusions of the process. The University, our Head Coach and the entire Athletic Department are fully committed to ensuring our program is following best practice.
"As part of the University's commitment to accountability, we want to reiterate that the institution takes this matter very seriously and remains dedicated to an open and transparent approach with the NCAA."

What does it take to become an ArtPrize venue
ArtPrize 2012 is in full swing and the city of Grand Rapids is enjoying the influx of residents and visitors the competition brings annually to the city. With 1,517 entries, the competition is one of the largest art events in the world and requires detailed planning and logistical considerations that venues must begin preparing for early in the year.
St. Cecilia Music Center, which is host to 99 entries this year, began preparing and devoting resources to its participation during the spring. When ArtPrize officially kicked off last week on Sept. 19, the venue already had devoted hundreds of hours to preparing for the nearly three-week long event.
Serving as an exhibition center and as the primary performing arts venue, it will host 79 musical entries and 20 visual arts submissions.
"We want as many of the musical artists to perform live during ArtPrize here at St. Cecilia, so we have scheduled 58 live performances from Thursday through Sunday," said Cathy Holbrook, executive director of St. Cecilia.
"Every half an hour a new group takes the stage, and that is a pretty big undertaking. So the logistics of the stage, the sound system, sound engineer, the stage manager and tents, these are all the things that happen just to make the production work. Then you have to communicate with everybody and schedule them, find a slot for them that works, and they need a parking pass and to be here at a certain time. We need to find out what equipment they need. It's a pretty big undertaking."
This is St. Cecilia's second year as a performing arts venue, and Holbrook said it did many things well the first year that it will replicate this time around, including how it works with the musicians and the many volunteers necessary for the event.
"I think what we learned about handling a large number of musicians is that we do need to do what we did last year, which is that they need parking passes that have specific times on them, that they really need to know exactly what is expected of them, that we hire professional people to handle the sound and stage management," Holbrook said. "That is not a volunteer situation; it needs somebody who is a professional in that way. I think that we did pretty well last year."
Holbrook noted that St. Cecilia's participation in ArtPrize requires thousands of dollars, as well.
"St. Cecilia's probably takes on more cost than some exhibition centers might, because we're basically throwing a four-day music festival in the parking lot, which is close to $5,000 a day just for the stage, sound system, personnel, tents and chairs, and all of the things it takes to set up a live musical performance for that many days. It is pretty expensive."
In addition, this year St. Cecilia's decided to create an added incentive for musical performers to participate. It is providing $10,000 in prize money for the top performer in each of five musical genres, based on the ArtPrize popular votes. The winner in each genre will take home a $2,000 cash prize, which the venue raised specifically for the competition.
Besides four days of live music, St. Cecilia's has built 20 listening stations with iPod Nanos for ArtPrize visitors to listen to the artists' compositions.
Holbrook said that last year, the organization was able to get some of the cost covered for the iPods.
In addition, St. Cecilia's Terryberry Gallery, located on the lower level, is displaying ArtPrize entries from visual artists. It works with the artists to meet the specific needs of their artworks, which involves its own logistical challenges and coordination.
"We worked with Voss Lighting to find the right cool spotlight to replace our warmer lights with, and it has made a huge and happy improvement to the gallery and all of the colors on the walls," said Cheri McClain-Beatty, graphic designer at St. Cecilia.
Beatty said the gallery uses a hanging system of cables that are hooked into the ceiling molding, but occasionally, artists request different installation accommodations. This year, Steven Fessler's piece, "The Tree Blooming Birds," was stretched directly across the wall using grommets, which required extra assistance from the building staff to install.
"It's an expensive venture that we do because we want to be part of this important event and it brings a lot of people through the facility, which is really good for us," Holbrook said.
The B.O.B., another large ArtPrize venue, includes both indoor and outdoor spaces and requires many logistical considerations to accommodate more than 100 artworks along with several food and drink tents.
In previous years, the venue has hosted some of ArtPrize's largest pieces — and Top 10 vote getters — in its outdoor space, which means it easily sees between 2,000-3,000 visitors per day.
"We have to have clearance for the fire department for capacity. So you have to have at least four feet in every aisle-way. We make sure we are in compliance with fire codes," said Kim Lemmen, catering director of promotions and special events for The B.O.B.
Lemmen said that spacing is very important indoors, as well. In the past, artwork was installed in the restaurant space, but management quickly understood it was intrusive to diners and has since nixed placing artwork within those areas.
Besides the large crowds, Lemmen said the venue's greatest challenge is the fluctuating fall weather.
"We had pieces that were easily destroyed by weather, that weren't real durable. That one year, when we had the bad weather and the wind, we lost a fair amount of art because it wasn't strong enough to withhold the wind. So those kinds of pieces, I think, (owner) Greg (Gilmore) is staying away from."
As far as costs incurred, Lemmen said for The B.O.B. it is mostly a labor cost. In addition to all the staff required during the installation and the competition, the venue has around-the-clock security for the artwork, which is provided by its regular security staff.
Although hosting such a large number of artists requires a huge commitment of labor and resources, the venture pays off for St. Cecilia's and The B.O.B., as well as other large venues, in increased foot traffic.

Adding New Permissions
From SELinux Wiki
(from this mailing list post)
To add a new permission to SELinux: 1) checkout a copy of the refpolicy from oss.tresys.com 2) cd refpolicy/policy/flask/ 3) edit access_vectors and add your definition 4) run make 5) run make LINUX_D=/path/to/linux-2.6 tokern to push the kernel headers to your kernel tree 6) run make LIBSELINUX_D=/path/to/libselinux tolib to push the libselinux headers to your libselinux tree. Then you can generate patches against policy, kernel, and libselinux. There is also the backward compatibility issue - we must not break akpm's system if he boots a new kernel on an existing distro that lacks new policy.

Why cv. Bina Alam?
Tell me, and I will forget, show me, and I may remember, involve me, and I will understand… Confucius
Survival and Success are belongs to Organizations that can effectively tap the dormant Human potential towards Creativity, Innovation and Team Synergy. New strategies and approaches are in constant demand. Dealing with Uncertainties, Managing Ambiguities and Pioneering Blue Ocean Strategies have become Managerial requirements. Outbound Experiential Training by cv. Bina Alam attempts to bring about a paradigm shift in Individual Behavior and Team Processes to integrate and synergies Individuals, Teams and Organizations in a Recurring Learning Cycle.
It also provides a platform for simulation of principles of Organizational Behavior and Management. While conventional training methods impart theories and principles of Organizational Behavior and Management, there is an ever increasing need for individuals and teams to get the opportunity to practically apply these principles in real life situations and learn from experiences.
cv. Bina Alam uses a unique blend of fun and adventure based team activities and the methodology of David A Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle and other proven concept to bring about dramatic transformation in Teams. The focus is on what 'Learning can we take away to the work environment at our Organization' and 'How can we sustain our team in a Recurring Learning Cycle'. Each programmed is tailored to the training needs of the specific group.
Outward Bound Training
Our Outward Bound programs are based on a "development-by-challenge". We believed that Outward Bound was about training the mind through the body.
We provide the clients with challenging experiences in a supportive educational format so that everyone would develop inner strength, character and resolve.
We used the physical movement for training (from low, mediun to high impact), but the desired effect was very much psychological and social. Our philosophy revolved around the importance of helping participants to discover their true capabilities by impelling them into experiences that would help them to find their greater capacities. That's what experiential learning is all about.
We believe human endeavor knows no limits but many of us are not fully conscious of our true potential and capabilities. It is only when we venture out of our comfort zone and expose ourselves to the unfamiliar (as they may appear but nature friendly) situations, we realize how much the physical, moral and mental are reserves that we possess. We at cv. Bina Alam initiatives, use tools that nature provides us in various forms such as mountains or rivers or lakes or valleys or trails, in order to make participants realize their hidden physical, moral and mental potential.
Indoor Training
It is recognized today that there is a need to continue training beyond initial qualifications to maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout working life. In the context of many professions and occupations, this may be referred to as professional development. Training and development always goes hand in hand to keep abreast with the fast pace of development. Bina Alam initiatives also impart indoor training as per client need, eventhough it is indoor we make it activity based to get the involvement of the participants and make it experiential learning.
The objective of our training programmes is to bring 'Change' in participants' behaviour with new perspective by providing them with necessary skills required towards their profession and life-.
Safety is always our utmost concern and ensured at all times / cost.
Instructor to participant ratio is maintained at 1:10.
Doctor is in attendance for mediun to hard impact training like Rock climbing/Rappelling etc.

Landscaped Parking Facility and Rooftop Sculpture GardenOpened in September 2009, the underground parking facility and rooftop sculpture garden is located in a section of East Fairmount Park between the Azalea Garden and the West Entrance to the Museum.
Aerial Perspective of New Public Amenities
These amenities are part of the Museum's overall master plan to modernize and expand their facilities over the next ten years and beyond. The Museum is a vital part of the City's cultural and economic life, drawing nearly one million visitors annually from all over the world. Many of the existing amenities surrounding the Museum, however, no longer meet the needs of its growing audience. Extending opportunities for the display of sculpture in the surrounding park and increasing visitor parking capacity were critical to the Museum's future success. The Museum received final design approvals for the landscaped garage and sculpture garden from the Fairmount Park Commission, Philadelphia Art Commission, and the Philadelphia Historic Commission. The Museum began construction in late 2006. A few facts about the landscaped parking facility and rooftop sculpture garden:
- The Museum paid the full cost of design and construction of the garage, and is operating costs. The City of Philadelphia did not providing any funding for this project.
- The Museum manages and operates the new parking facility.
- The garage accommodates approximately 400–440 cars.
- The parking facility is intended primarily to serve Museum visitors.
- The Museum wants the visitor's experience to be as affordable as possible. Parking rates, therefore, have been set at a reasonable level that so as to encourage maximum use of the facility.
- Security lighting and surveillance help provide a safe environment for those using both the parking facility and rooftop sculpture garden.
Relocated Surface ParkingThe Museum's parking garage and sculpture garden was built upon the existing Fairmount Avenue surface parking lot that once accommodated 84 vehicles and extended from the Italian Fountain to Kelly Drive parallel to the Azalea Garden.
Illustrative Site Plan
- 18 existing spaces along the driveway leading to the restaurant
- 38 marked spaces around the Italian Fountain, which will be restriped
- 10 spaces in the Italian Fountain bus drop-off zone
- 14 spaces in the Museum's parking garage

This product is designed for adults and is not to be worn by individuals under the age of 18. Good health practice requires that a person with a hearing loss have a medical evaluation by a licensed physician (preferably a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear) before purchasing a hearing aid. Licensed physicians who specialize in diseases of the ear are often referred to as Otolaryngologists, Otologists, or Otorhinolaryngologists. The purpose of a medical evaluation is to assure that all medically treatable conditions that may affect hearing are identified and treated before the hearing aid is purchased.
Following the medical evaluation, the physician will give you a written statement that states that your hearing loss has been evaluated medically and that you may be considered a candidate for a hearing aid. The physician may refer you to an audiologist or a hearing aid dispenser, as appropriate, for a hearing aid evaluation.
The audiologist or hearing aid dispenser will conduct a hearing aid evaluation to assess your ability to hear with and without a hearing aid. The hearing aid evaluation will enable the audiologist or dispenser to select and fit a hearing aid to your individual needs.
If you have reservations about your ability to adapt to amplification, you should inquire about the availability of a trial-rental or purchase option program. Many hearing aid dispensers now offer programs that permit you to wear a hearing aid for a period of time for a nominal fee after which you may decide if you want to purchase the hearing aid.
Federal law restricts the sale of hearing aids to those individuals who have obtained a medical evaluation from a licensed physician. Federal law permits a fully informed adult to sign a waiver statement declining the medical evaluation for religious or personal beliefs that preclude consultation with a physician. The exercise of such a waiver is not in your best health interest and its use is strongly discouraged.
Please click here to read the User Instructional Brochure (UIB) [PDF] before purchasing this product.
Additional assistance can be obtained by calling 1.877.763.8327, where operators will be glad to answer any questions about the product and review the UIB and medical waiver with you.
Each device comes with a full 1-year warranty that starts at the date the instrument is originally shipped from the factory. General Hearing Warranty Plus will repair or replace the hearing instrument if the quality inspection proves it to be defective in workmanship or materials. The warranty does not apply if the product is damaged due to misuse, abuse or if opened or serviced by an unauthorized lab.
Optional second and third-year repair warranty coverage is available for additional costs and must be purchased during the first year of warranty coverage. Simplicity Premier hearing aid pair: $180.00 per year.

Removing the shipwrecked Costa Concordia has been a slow project. Crews finally flipped it upright last fall, and now the real challenge begins: taking it off the coast of Giglio Island to a port in Genoa for dismantling. Work starts Monday, and it's gonna be a doozy.
As of today, the ship rests upright on an underwater platform, wearing 30 water-filled metal tanks arranged along its flanks. Starting Monday, engineers will pump those tanks full compressed air, lifting the two hundred and thirty million pound ship up off the platform.
At first, the team will only lift the Concordia a few feet, to inspect its structure and see if it's solid enough to survive transport 150 miles to Genoa. But that voyage won't happen right away—first, the crews will have to move the giant boat about 100 feet further offshore for cleaning. After two and a half years spent semi-submerged, the food, fuel, and luxury accouterment left behind when the ship was evacuated has likely turned into a toxic mess of environmental hazards. And right now, the ship is loafing in a marine sanctuary.
Assuming the ship is solid enough for travel, and the engineers don't find any bizarre surprises when they lift it, the Costa Concordia will then take a leisurely 2 knot (2.3 MPH) jaunt to the port at Genoa, 150 miles away. At the end of the five-day voyage, the doomed juggernaut will undergo dismantling that will take several years.
The contract to demolish the doomed vessel came in at $275 million; that's on top of the hundreds of millions spent just to stabilize the boat. [The Parbuckling Project via Wired]

Actor Shia Labeouf has been threatened with legal action following allegations he plagiarised a graphic novel in a short film he directed.
The Transformers star was recently accused of basing his movie, Howard Cantour, on a book called Justin M. Damiano by Daniel Clowes. He subsequently issued a series of public apologies to the author, posting messages through Twitter.com and even hiring a skywriting plane to spell out his regret over the skies of Los Angeles.
However, the apologies have failed to appease Clowes' lawyers, who hit LaBeouf with a cease-and-desist letter on Tuesday, in which the skywriting stunt was branded "foolishness".
In the legal letter, which the actor posted on his Twitter.com page on Wednesday, a lawyer representing Clowes, Michael J. Kump, claims LaBeouf's legal team failed to respond to initial contact regarding the alleged plagiarism in Howard Cantour, adding, "We have been waiting since December 27 to hear how Mr. LaBeouf intends to make (it) right, but all that has happened is… foolishness such as Mr. LaBeouf's New Year's Day skywriting frolic that exposed Mr. Clowes to further ridicule."
Kump also alleges that LaBeouf has caused further troubles in a recent picture he posted on Twitter which showed a storyboard for a project called Daniel Boring, which the lawyer claims is a "rip off" of Clowes' comic strip David Boring.
The letter urges LaBeouf to "immediately cease and desist from any further acts of copyright infringement, trademark infringement, conversion, and other other intentional and malicious wrongs in connection with Mr. Clowes and his works".
It adds, "Your client is seriously out of control. He must stop his improper and outlandish conduct directed at Mr. Clowes and his works… Leave Mr. Clowes alone, and address and fix these problems immediately."

Here's Mike's first ever post to Google Maps Mania,
"If you're like me you were absolutely floored when Google came out with the Google Maps service. Sure, it's just another mapping service.. Until you realize it's full potential. The ability to toggle between regular street/road maps and a satellite view is unreal. I've started to see a lot of buzz around the blogging community about Google Maps so I've decided to help you keep up with the Google Maps related sites, blogs and tools that are cropping up.
Stay tuned."
Who would have thought that five years down the line the buzz around online mapping and Location Based Services would be even greater?
Mike's second post to Google Maps Mania was a short review of Google Sightseeing. Google Sightseeing are also still going strong and celebrated their own five year anniversary last week.
This year the five year anniversaries are going to come thick and fast:
- In February 2005 Google Maps itself launched
- In April 2005 Paul Rademacher's first ever Google Maps hack - showing Craigslist housing ads on Google Maps - was launched
- In April 2005 Google Sightseeing was launched
- In April 2005 Google Maps Mania began
- In July 2005 the Google Maps API was released

Colette's Lost Pet
Isabelle Arsenault
A new arrival in the neighborhood, Colette doesn't let her parents' "no pet" edict stop her from inventing an imaginary animal companion. "I lost my pet," she tells the kids next door, who begin asking curious questions. Colette improvises (her pet is, um…a parakeet!) and then continues spinning her tale with each new neighbor she meets (her pet is a blue-and-yellow parakeet named Marie-Antoinette that makes a sound like "Prrrruiiiit"…). How will Colette's new friends feel when they discover that the bird is merely a flight of fancy? You'll have to read through to the unexpected ending of this charming, minimally colored picture book to find out.
Little Excavator
Anna Dewdney
It's tough being the smallest vehicle on the construction site, especially when you're as eager to help as Little Excavator. Tiny, yellow, and bursting with can-do spirit, Little Excavator keeps trying to join in the park-building process, but the bigger vehicles just keep telling him "not yet." Rhythmic and bursting with machine sound effects that are "just begging to be read aloud with dramatic effect" (
Kirkus Reviews
), this tale of a pint-sized helper in search of a job to match is a crowd-pleaser that may rival the late author's popular Llama Llama series. For another exuberant, anthropomorphic construction vehicle, try Candace Fleming's Bulldozer series.
Firefighter Duckies!
Frank W. Dormer
Meet the Firefighter Duckies: "They are brave. They are strong. They rescue…" anyone in need of help, no matter how outrageous the predicament. A gorilla with a flaming chef's hat? No problem! A whale stuck in a tree? All in a day's work! Dinosaurs who've lost control of their bikes? They've got a solution for that too, because the Firefighter Duckies aren't just brave and strong, they're also kind and helpful. With exaggerated illustrations, an over-the-top tone, and plenty of repetition to encourage child participation,
Firefighter Duckies!
is an upbeat and satisfyingly silly story.
A Place to Read
Leigh Hodgkinson
In this eye-catching picture book, a book-loving kid gets comfortable with reading -- literally. Depicted in multimedia collage art, the child's search for a comfy, cozy reading spot features everything from a floral chair (too many bees buzzing 'round) to a monster's lap (too itchy and growly) before the child finally realizes what many young readers already know: the best reading place is any place that you share. Those who relish this bookish twist on the Goldilocks story may also appreciate author/illustrator Leigh Hodgkinson's earlier (but very different) spin in
Goldilocks and Just One Bear
Can an Aardvark Bark?
Melissa Stewart; illustrated by Steve Jenkins
Be careful where you read this book – it's sure to provoke a gleeful cacophony of animal sounds! Veteran animal book creators Melissa Stewart and Steve Jenkins join forces in this compendium of surprising animal noises. For instance, aardvarks can't bark, but they can grunt; a dingo can't bellow (though koalas and giraffes can!); and a porcupine
indeed whine. Large type plus crisp torn-paper collages make the book welcoming for younger kids, while older kids may be intrigued by the detailed animal information in the final pages, but readers of all ages will find it hard to resist
Can an Aardvark Bark?
Unusual Animal Families
Kelly DiPucchio; illustrated by Christian Robinson
Gaston the puppy lives with his poodle siblings Fi-Fi, Foo-Foo, and Ooh-La-La. Antoinette the puppy lives with her bulldog siblings Rocky, Ricky, and Bruno. Even though they don't look like their families, both Gaston and Antoinette are loved and happy in their homes. When their parents discover that the two puppies were switched at birth, they attempt to switch them back…only to realize that family is about much more than biology. Chunky, stylish illustrations pair perfectly with this sweet story that will resonate with anyone who's found comfort in a chosen family. If you love
, don't miss the sequel,
Wolfie the Bunny
Ame Dyckman; illustrated by Zachariah OHora
Nobody will listen to Dot. The little bunny warned her parents about adopting a wolf cub -- "HE'S GOING TO EAT US ALL UP!" -- but in their eyes, Wolfie can do no wrong. They let the drooling (yuck!) Wolfie follow Dot around and allow him to eat his way through their carrot supply. Dot, however, remains vigilant. Yet when Wolfie finally pounces, it's not for the reason Dot expected. While adults will appreciate
Wolfie the Bunny'
s playfully modern details (the bunnies shop at a local co-op), kids will be drawn to its bold, colorful artwork and relatable family situations.
Bear Is Not Tired
Ciara Gavin
After being adopted by a family of ducks in
Room for Bear
, Bear is settling comfortably into his new life. Eating, sleeping, playing, swimming -- Bear does everything that his feathered brethren do. (Well, everything except flying.) Then the first winter air tickles Bear's nose; it's time to hibernate! Though he tries to resist, Bear starts falling asleep during family activities. Thankfully, Mama Duck has a smart solution that will allow Bear to snooze away the winter without missing out. Rounded shapes and pastel colors in the illustrations add a gentle, homey feel to this picture book that will be a hit with fans of Karma Wilson's
Bear Snores On
Mother Bruce
Ryan T. Higgins
unexpected family
forms after dinner plans go awry in this offbeat picture book. Grumpy, dumpy, and wearing a permanent scowl, Bruce the bear doesn't like anything -- except for eggs. After stealing -- er,
-- some "free-range organic" goose eggs from a nest, Bruce prepares to dine…only to discover that the eggs have hatched, and the goslings are convinced he's their mother! How does one crotchety bear cope with raising four stubborn goslings? Find out in this "visually beautiful, clever, edgy, and very funny" (
Kirkus Reviews
) book that's just right for reading out loud.
Liz Wong
Everyone knows that Quackers is a duck. He lives with the ducks at the duck pond -- so what if he's scared of water, and has orange fur instead of white feathers? It's not until Quackers spends time with a "strange duck" (a cat) named Mittens that he understands why he feels different. But as much as Quackers enjoys fitting in with the cats, he misses his fowl family. What's a conflicted critter to do? Addressing issues of family and identity in a kid-friendly way,
will appeal to young nonconformists, who might also enjoy Sharon G. Flake's

Randy Seaver's latest Saturday night/Sunday morning fun at Genea-Musings is to find ancestors who were born or married on 29 February, Leap Year day. I ran a search for 29 Feb in my genealogy program, Reunion, using the "Find Anything" option under the Find menu (Reunion does not appear to have a separate find function for dates), and it came up with a list of five hits: one date of birth, three dates of death, and one date of burial:
Last Name First & Mid Name Birth Date Birth Place Death Date
Hodson Vera Louise 29 Feb 1992
Lewis William B. 31 Aug 1875 South Carolina 27 Feb 1928
(buried on 29 Feb 1928)
Osborne Florence Belzora 29 Feb 1884 Callihan, McMullen Co., Texas
Rice George Washington 14 Oct 1870 Arkansas 29 Feb 1948
Sullivan Haskell Clayton 3 Aug 1907 29 Feb 1996
(All of the above persons married into my family lines except for William B. Lewis, who is a first cousin twice removed.)
I am still in the process of inputting research into my genealogy program, so it does not include nearly all the family lines that I am aware of and I did not expect to get any hits, so before running the search, I looked up the lyrics to "A Paradox" from Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance:
For some ridiculous reason, to which, however, I've no desire to be disloyal,
Some person in authority, I don't know who, very likely the Astronomer Royal,
Has decided that, although for such a beastly month as February,
twenty-eight days as a rule are plenty,
One year in every four his days shall be reckoned as nine and twenty.
Through some singular coincidence – I shouldn't be surprised if it were owing to the
agency of an ill-natured fairy –
You are the victim of this clumsy arrangement, having been born in leap-year,
on the twenty-ninth of February;
And so, by a simple arithmetical process, you'll easily discover,
That though you've lived twenty-one years, yet, if we go by birthdays,
you're only five and a little bit over!
Ruth and King:
Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
Ho! ho! ho! ho!
Dear me!
Let's see! (counting on fingers)
Yes, yes; with yours my figures do agree!
Ruth and King:
Ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
How quaint the ways of Paradox!
At common sense she gaily mocks!
Though counting in the usual way,
Years twenty-one I've been alive.
Yet, reckoning by my natal day,
Yet, reckoning by my natal day,
I am a little boy of five!

Hi, Greta! Do you like Reunion? I have a friend on a Mac that was wondering if Reunion would be a good match for them.ReplyDelete
I also wanted to let you know that I have nominated you for a Kreativ Blogger Award. I know this is a duplicate, but I wanted to let you know that I have enjoyed reading your blog.
Aw, thank you, Laura - I am always happy and proud to receive encouragement from a respected fellow genea-blogger. I really like Reunion; it's easy to use and has the features I need. It's also easy to look up how to do things on the help menu.ReplyDelete

I am proud to announce the immediate availability of Natural Earth 2.0.0!
- Economic geography: adds global roads, railroads, ports, airports, and time zones to show how people are interconnected and goods route (read Richard Florida on airports, full legal document about time zones and international date line shifts, and background on the E-Road network).
- Remastered geometries: fixes topological errors at 1:10 to 1:1,000 scales in the basic coastline, ocean, land, admin-0, and admin-1 related themes for files in the the 1:10m scaleset. By removing self-intersections, sliver polygons, and adjusting offset polygons, Natural Earth imports into more GIS software (like PostGIS) and will be easier to maintain. The coastline is adjusted to better conform to ~1:3,000,000 satellite imagery. Because of all these changes, some raster themes are also updated. Land, ocean, and minor islands all build topologically by scripting ingredients, as do the admin-0 and admin-1 cultural themes.
- Introduce Gray Earth rasters. Worldwide terrain depicted monochromatically in shades of gray. It combines shaded relief and regionally adjusted hypsography that emphasizes both high mountains and the micro terrain found in lowlands. View new raster »
- New file name and field name schemas. Full adoption of ne_10m_theme_name.shp file names with `ne_` prefix to allow better import into GeoDB and PostGIS storage, lowercase field (column) names instead of MiXeD and UPPER cased names, and use of consistent `name` field (versus name1).
- Address user submitted bug reports, ~25 since the 1.4 release, and earlier.
- Moved to Github for the backend versioned file management and coordination. Includes scripts to package updates and auto-create derived themes. View Natural Earth Vector on Github »
- Adopt semantic versioning. Know, by theme, the level of effort needed to update your maps when Natural Earth data updates are released. Read more about Natural Earth versioning »
Other notable changes:
- UPDATED: NE_ADMIN_0 - Updated for South Sudan, map colors (now with 7, 8, 9 and 13 options), population figures, removed () from notes, and more. note: diffs between sov, adm0, map units, map subunits, and new breakaways are all calculated on the a3 codes now, no longer mix of names and a3 codes. Added and split note_adm0 and note_brk to note which countries are parts of which sovereignties and who's breaking away or disputing. One spurious "county" feature code fixed to "country" (finland). Added labelrank on all. Added new mapcolors (7, 8, 9 and old 13). Includes new detail on Caribbean Netherlands map unit. Adds more detail to Bhutan disputed areas. Now includes continent codes, and future region code placeholder columns. Added name_len to know when to abbreviate labels. Added label ranks.
- UPDATED: NE_10M_ADMIN_0_BOUNDARY_LINES_LAND - Minor updates to alignment of boundary lines (and topology fixes), additional coding to allow official US gov't view of same. better disputed coding, including Kosovo. Densified vertex along lines to allow smooth projection into conics. Moved Omani exclave Madha to correct location. Adds left and right labels and codes. Fixes: N96NSYPAPV, ZQNTN5VGDD, Z8ZYYUQZVS.
- UPDATED: NE_50M_ADMIN_1_STATES_PROVINCES_SHP – Added some new ISO coding, other minor changes. Fixes topology errors. Adds admin-1 for brazil and australia. Uses same coding as 10m files. Derived from new scale rank version.
- **NEW**: NE_10M_ADMIN_0_ANTARCTICA_CLAIMS – Although countries have paused their claims to the southernmost continent, they haven't suspended them. Thanks, Hans!
- **NEW**: NE_10M_ADMIN_0_ANTARCTICA_CLAIM_LIMIT_LINES – Although countries have paused their claims to the southernmost continent, they haven't suspended them. Thanks, Hans!
- UPDATED: NE_10M_POPULATED_PLACES – A couple name corrections (Morelia, Mexico spelling fixed. Mazatlan, Mexico spelling fixed. Clarified confusion around Tabatinga / Leticia on the Colombian / Brazilian border. On the Brazil / Bolivia border, clarified Brasileia / Cobija. Fixed spelling of Shuozhou, China), many population max values, mostly in China, India, rift valley (Africa), Nigeria, and other countries in east Asia, but some elsewhere. Made sure cities in Switzerland are coded admin-0 of CH and China are CN. Moved Amundsen Base to 176° so it's in the -12 timezone. Also moved Peter I Island. Vatican City is also moved to be contained by it's admin-0 polygon. Same for San Marino. Added a poprank column with 0 to 14 numerical classes. Deleted spurious Extra Eureka town in Canada near Greenland. Delete duplicate town Urengoy in RUS, rename the real one Novy Urengoy. Fixes: 4SUAZ7BB49, D459XT1Z6Y.
- UPDATED: NE_10M_COASTLINE – Better matches modern satellite imagery to zoom 8-ish. The earlier coastline could have been several kilometers off (like in Gibraltar). Several large new islands added. Includes densified vertex along lines to allow smooth projection into conics.
- UPDATED: NE_10M_RIVERS_LAKE_CENTERLINES – See changelog for ne_10m_rivers_lake_centerlines_scale_ranks for details.
- UPDATED: NE_10M_RIVERS_LAKE_CENTERLINES_SCALE_RANKS – Updated river names, few new rivers, splits. added river connector in Sweden between lake near Stockholm and Baltic Sea.

- UPDATED: NE_10M_LAKES – Removed major lake groupings (Great Lakes, Finger Lakes, etc) to geography label areas instead. Title cased the feature class values. Added Swedish lake near Stockholm (had been extension of Baltic Sea in ocean theme). Fixed topology errors. Fixed a few reservoir and salt lake codes (thanks Craig!).
- UPDATED: NE_10M_LAKES_NORTH_AMERICA_SUPPLEMENT – Name1 have been changed to name, name to name, name2 to name_alt. Fixes 4VA9P9UGQE.
- UPDATED: NE_10M_GEOGRAPHIC_LINES – New int'l date line, thanks Alex! Also densified linework for smoother projection into conics.
- UPDATED: NE_10M_LAND – A dissolved version of the original 1.x file, now renamed "ne_10m_land_scale_rank", see that changelog for full details. Fixes XAWXTN54GT.

Geneva, Switzerland, 24 June 2004 - His Highness the Aga Khan has announced the selection of the lead architect and the landscape architect for the three sites of the University of Central Asia. The three campuses, in Tekeli, Kazakhstan; Naryn, Kyrgyz Republic; and Khorog, Tajikistan, are being conceived as innovative "university parks".
Architectural planning for the sites is being carried out by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki. Site designs for the three campuses are being developed by Sasaki Associates. Mr. Isozaki and Sasaki Associates' principals Anthony Mallows and Kenneth Bassett will be collaborating closely to build the University campuses.
The goal of the University of Central Asia (UCA) is to serve the 40 million people who live in the mountain regions of Central Asia by fostering economic and social development. The three sites, which already offer practical continuing education courses in temporary premises, are expected to be in operation in 2007.
"There is a growing appreciation of the link between the intellectual resources of major universities and the overall development of cities and nations," said His Highness the Aga Khan. "The three campuses of the University of Central Asia will be catalysts for the development of the region."
The lead architect, Mr. Arata Isozaki, has won more than 20 architectural prizes in Japan, the United States, United Kingdom, Italy and Spain. Since 1963 his firm has created such major projects as the Olympic stadium in Barcelona, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and the museum in Takasaki City, Japan. A visiting professor at Tokyo University, University of California Los Angeles, Harvard, and Columbia, he is one of the premier exponents of a contemporary style in architecture, employing materials and a language of design that speak to modern people everywhere while remaining sensitive to the specific needs of environment and climate.
Site designs for the three campuses and for the "university parks" are being developed by Sasaki Associates of Watertown, USA. The landscaped park zones will include walking trails, sports centres, and other facilities. Sasaki Associates was established by Hideo Sasaki in 1953, the same year he joined the faculty at Harvard. From 1958 - 1968, as chairman of Harvard's Landscape Architecture Department, Mr. Sasaki helped to revolutionize the study of landscape architecture by tying it to the larger issues of planning. He also pioneered the concept of interdisciplinary planning and design. Mr. Sasaki insisted that every project be put in its cultural, historical, geographical, environmental, social, and economic context.
The University was established through a treaty signed by The Aga Khan and the Presidents of Tajikistan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Kazakhstan. The treaty was subsequently ratified by the respective parliaments. An initial endowment was established with three US$5 million gifts – one for each University site – from The Aga Khan.
"That UCA will base its degree programmes at residential campuses is revolutionary in this region," says S. Frederick Starr, Rector of UCA. "Its university towns will provide models of new ways of living in challenging climates and new models of community interaction. Thus, the campuses themselves become part of the education."
UCA will offer three academic programmes:
A Post-Graduate School of Development offering a Master of Arts degree in multiple areas that define the lives of mountain peoples. This umbrella structure will house a series of institute programmes. In all these institutes a common grounding in market economics, civil society, etc. will lead to programmes of study and research that culminate in a master's degree within the Post-Graduate School of Development.
A School of Undergraduate Studies offering a Bachelor's degree based on the liberal arts and sciences and designed to educate men and women for a wide range of leadership roles in government, business, education, culture, or the delivery of social services.
A School of Continuing Education offering non-degree courses in local languages to mid-career professionals, civil servants, businessmen and women, and leaders of civil society organizations. It will also offer programmes for older learners and the general public in practical areas relevant to economic and social development.

While another collaboration between Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg would seem to require a time machine, a Ouija board or some sort of interdimensional extraterrestrial monolith, plans are nonetheless underway for these two celebrated filmmakers to work together again.
Speaking to Canal+ Television in France, Mr. Spielberg said that he intended to turn an unproduced screenplay by Mr. Kubrick about the life of Napoleon into a television miniseries.
"I've been developing Stanley Kubrick's screenplay for a miniseries, not for a motion picture, about the life of Napoleon," Mr. Spielberg said in the interview. "Kubrick wrote the script in 1961, long time ago, and the Kubrick family — because we made 'A.I.' together — the Kubrick family and I, and the next project we're working on is a miniseries, is going to be 'Napoleon.'"
Mr. Kubrick, who died in 1999, spent years researching Napoleon, reviewing more than 18,000 documents and books while assembling a card file that cataloged every significant moment in the French leader's life.
It was announced in 1968 that Mr. Kubrick would direct "Napoleon" for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; then in 1970 it was reported that he had put that project on the back burner in favor of "A Clockwork Orange."
In 1972, Mr. Kubrick (who had not yet made "Barry Lyndon" at the time) told Sight & Sound magazine that "there has never been a great historical film" and that he still intended to make "Napoleon." But the project was never realized.
The two filmmakers worked together on the 2001 science-fiction film "A.I. Artificial Intelligence," which Mr. Spielberg was producing for Mr. Kubrick, and which he directed after Mr. Kubrick's death. One could also argue that the Kubrick influence hovers over Spielberg films like "Minority Report," and its world of oppressively ubiquitous technology. Both directors also appreciated space aliens as well as Tom Cruise.

During his quarter-century in financial services, Andy Janning has attended more than 100 conferences of all stripes, and admits to being a bit jaded by some of the temporary transformations he's witnessed from attendees.
That's why the CEO of NO NET Solutions came away impressed from his experience chronicling this year's Crash the GAC, which drew more than 40 young credit union professionals to CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference in February in Washington, D.C.
"I've dedicated my professional life to the great joy of helping people hit their goals," Janning says. "I know the difference between those who use conferences as an all-expense paid corporate vacation and those who use it as a crucible to burn off old habits and revolutionize their career.
"And in my life, I've never seen a transformation like what I witnessed in that group."
Janning captured elements of that transformation in his coverage of the sixth annual Crash the GAC, a partnership between CUNA, The Cooperative Trust, and the credit union leagues. The program provides conference registration, additional monetary support, and perks such as mentor sessions with industry thought leaders.
The colorful and insightful Janning recently shared with Credit Union Magazine his thoughts about documenting the Crash the GAC experience, which included boiling down two hours of video into a 78-second clip (see above), as well as 2,000 still images.
CU Magazine: What's the No. 1 emotion you wanted to capture?
Janning: I wanted to capture connections and transformations, first and foremost. I know I just gave you not one, but two things that are totally not emotions. Give me the "Worst Interview Subject EVER" award right now.
Those are the two types of events, though, that linked the group not just to each other but to the credit union industry as a whole. When those events happen genuinely, the emotions will be there. They did, and they were.
Connections with leaders like Bill Cheney and Ryan Donovan from CUNA; Gigi Hyland and Lois Kitsch from the National Credit Union Foundation; Andrew Downin, Tansley Stearns, and Mark Meyer from Filene Research Institute; and literally dozens of others. Connections with lawmakers and lobbyists. Connections with an event and an environment that is both humbling and inspiring.
Transformations as they realize they're standing on the shoulders of giants like Edward Filene—that they have the extraordinary opportunity to help this industry evolve and grow.
CU Magazine: How did you see the "We Are More" motto embodied during the week?
Janning: There is a night and day difference between the raw footage of the Crashers as they came together as a group for the first time and when they said their final goodbyes five days later. It is, quite literally, not the same group of people.
On that first day, they were nervous about what to expect and what was expected of them. Many of them had never been to D.C. or to an event the size of GAC. Interaction with each other for those first few awkward minutes was limited to the barest social niceties.
Then, James Marshall (Cooperative Trust), Meghann Dawson (CUNA), Chad Helminak (Wisconsin Credit Union League), and Chris Fraenza (Filene) happened. And everything changed.
These four mentors to the Crashers made possible the connections and transformations I mentioned earlier. As the Crashers met and learned from the parade of experts, I saw their self-consciousness evaporate, replaced with intensity and eagerness.
Half the group was ready to sign up for CUDE training right after their time with Gigi and Lois. Ryan Donovan could have easily conquered Capitol Hill with the number of Crashers willing to throw themselves head-first into the legislative fray.
Those who were able to get a few moments with Bill Cheney were admired like astronauts returning from the moon.
CU Magazine: What sort of comments or actions did you witness that leads you to believe these folks will be tomorrow's CU leaders?
Janning: On the last day, the entire group huddled in a meeting room in the basement of the Westin Hotel, not just to debrief their GAC experience but to answer the most important question of all: "What are you going to do more/less/better/different as a result of GAC?"
Meghann, Chad, James, and Chris stood at the front of the room, listing on flip chart pages the commitments made by each Crasher to go back and change their little corner of the CU world.
The list spanned 15 flip chart pages. They lined the walls of the room, reminding them of what they said they would do while daring them to go even further.
Many of those people from whom those lists sprang had tears in their eyes as they shared their commitments. You want to know the subject that aroused the most emotion, dedication, and excitement? Mentoring—as in these young professionals becoming mentors to other eager young professionals back home. Not for their own reward or recognition, but because they understood that's how a better future is built, the seeds and fruit of which can be found on the new site for the Crashers.
When it was time for them to fly home and start the real work of changing the world, the goodbye embraces you see at the end of the video lasted 30 minutes. Some will dismiss these misty-eyed hugs and pledges with cynicism and scorn, saying they're little more than grown-up summer camp emotions that will melt like morning mist and barely move the needle for the CUs who paid good money for these folks to attend our industry's largest event.
I have only this to say: I've dedicated my professional life to the great joy of helping people hit their goals. I know the difference between those who use conferences as an all-expense paid corporate vacation, and those who use it as a crucible to burn off old habits and revolutionize their career. And in my life, I've never seen a transformation like what I witnessed in that group.
The next great generation of CUDE's is in there. A "Next Top Credit Union Executive" is in there. So is a future Trailblazer, CU Hero, CU Magazine Rock Star, CEO, Woman to Watch, C-level leader, board member, and servant leader. I saw it. I shot it. I know it.
CU Magazine: Why did you select that Brent Dixon piece for the soundtrack—and do you enjoy that people can experience it on two levels, simply as music or from a CU true believer?
Janning: The song of Brent's that I used, "Notes from a Hotel Room in Minnesota", has moved me ever since he released it in June 2012. It's a beautiful piece of music that, for me, has a simple and elegant optimism. When I first heard it, I prayed for an opportunity to use it in a video project.
So, to be able to use his art for the Crashers group that he created, and in the service of The Cooperative Trust that he founded and nurtured, was an answered prayer and a perfect chance to honor him in a subtle yet meaningful way.
If I can be one-tenth the artist, innovator, and force for good that Brent Dixon is, I will be a happy man.
CU Magazine: Did you ever consider adding subtitles for James Marshall? We're joking. But we do love that English accent.
Janning: James Marshall is one of the finest leaders I have ever met. The Trust is in good hands. And that accent is pretty killer!

Okay, time for me to do this, but a harder decision ive never made (not for along time anyway).
Ive spent two months researching bikes, specs, sizes, reviews and test rides. I wasnt in a hurry :D
..and in the process i've eliminated the following:
2013 Specialised Enduro Comp (got third place)
2013 Commencal Meta SX VIP (toptube too short in M)
2013 IBIS Mojo HD (too common and cant see how it would descend any better than the others)
2013 SC Nomad Carbon (toptube too short in M)
and the shortlist is now:
2013 Lapierre Spicy 516 or the 2013 Knolly Chilcotin (custom build)
price wise, i discovered the knolly would cost me a few hundred bucks more but the build would all be parts i wanted. so price is not problem.
Both the Spicy and the Chilcotin tick all my boxes and are both an exact size match for me, and coincidentaly but not suprisingly, in a Medium size, their geo is almost identical.
My riding varies alot. Some trail centre riding, some off piste light freeride, bike park grade downhill tracks and the infamous Fort William DH world cup track. So, needless to say the bike has to be an all rounder, and TOUGH.
So any thoughts on how to go forward as ive demo'd the spicy but there is nowehere in Scotland to demo the Chilcotin.

We are facing the Zombie Apocalypse. It's already started with bees.
Soon, bacon won't be the only thing we'll need to hoard because of shortages. (Read More: Time to Panic? Predications of a Coming Bacon Shortage!)
Up next: beer. German beer. According to the Daily Beast, "Water shortages might be the end of two of the world's most beloved alcoholic beverages. Germany's premier beer-making region is having a hard time growing hops and barley without some aquatic help."
The article also claims we're facing the potential death of chocolate, pasta, peanut butter, and coffee due to climate change.
Without coffee, I really will be the Walking Dead.
Turns out pasta is not the only wheat-based product you should stockpile. Jack Bauer is desperately searching for flour ... to make cupcakes. (Read More: Jack Bauer Goes Emeril on Cupcakes.)
Meantime, three years after John Slattery pitched Prescott Financial on "The Colbert Report", his three buys still hold value: gold, women, sheep. "Will you be ready?"
Well, will you?
Here are some other suggestions.
Stockpile competent NFL refs, since we will soon hate the new ones as much as we hated their replacements.
With Thursday's announcement that Tempur-Pedic is buying Sealy , mattress prices could go up. Time to hoard alternatives, like the Ostrich Pillow, which has now raised over $87,000 on Kickstarter to come to market. (Read More: Tempur-Pedic International to Acquire Rival Sealy.)
Finally, a few excellent suggestions from Twitter.
"I'll be stockpiling hip waders to get through the upcoming debate commentaries," tweets @paulkeleher.
And here's an excellent list from @MACD_Surfer: Maps, actual paper maps, if you own Apple products, also some Honey Boo-Boo DVDs, "Fifty Shades of Grey" for her, Viagra for him, and "Call Me Maybe" karoake tracks for the bomb shelter. "I hear zombies flee from the sound of 'Call Me Maybe.'"

Rated 1 out of 5 by Myrtie from non-stick NOT These are not only NOT non-stick but impossible to clean because of the texture. I apologized to my daughter for this hideous gift. I replaced it with what I thought was a smooth surface BUT the Sonoma-Williams logo is raised in the midfles of the sheet.Date published: 2019-04-06Rated 2 out of 5 by Kale1986 from Sturdy strong feel, but gold finish disintegrated I've had these cookie sheets and cooling rack for about 2 years now, and at first they were great, but with each hand washing in mild dish detergent with a cellulose sponge, the gold finish has slowly worn off in most areas. Now I have to use parchment paper 100% of the time in order to use these pans otherwise the cookies stick like glue top the diamond surface. The pans themselves are strong and sturdy with a thicker than average feel, the coating, however, is quite a disappointment. I won't be buying these again, and if you do purchase these, please use parchment paper so you don't have to wash them because the finish will not last.Date published: 2018-03-20Rated 5 out of 5 by mrswilliams from Love everything about it Received these as a gift for my birthday and I love them! They are very nice quality, not flimsy, and the cooling rack has a generous surface area to cool an entire batch of cookies.Date published: 2017-05-12Rated 5 out of 5 by mahoyt from Best EVER!

I enjoy the ease of baking with these non-stick pans so much that I purchased two sets this year to give my daughters as gifts. They are almost self-cleaning. An additional minute may be needed for baking time due to the insulation.Date published: 2016-12-11
I have the gold touch cookie sheets but am having a problem with the bottom of the cookies getting too dark. Should I lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees or shorten the baking time? I bake cookies on middle rack and oven temp is steady and accurate.Hi Karen, We asked our Bakeware merchant for her advice on how to correct this issue you're experiencing. She stated that the aluminized steel is so efficient in the heating and cooling process, and the heavy commercial grade construction can mean Goldtouch pans bake a little more efficiently/quickly. She likes to check the doneness on new cookie recipes 5 minutes early, and generally end up reducing the overall baking time for most drop cookies by about 2 minutes.Date published: 2019-12-11

Week of Dec. 24 ~ 30
80k week. Did four runs, all over 16k (with walk breaks), so that is encouraging. The knee is holding up so far.
3:00 - 16k - 4k x 4 (200m, 2')
Planned to run 5:00/k pace for the last 2 and got under that.
Didn't struggle, but didn't feel real good due to having a slight cold, and weighing 63kg.
Weather: 7C/45F, clear.
11:30 - Gym workout.
1:30 - 20k - 4k x 3, 8k (200m/300m)
First one 23:30, then all about 5:42/k pace.
Knee slightly sore at times, but easy pace, so no problem.
Ran 8k without stopping - wow!
Weather: 7C/45F, clear.
Forced rest as no time to run.
12:00 - 20k - 6k x 2, 8k (200m)
32:07/30:37/39:45 @ 5:21/5:06/4:58
Good run! No pain in knee. 8k @ 4:58 is encouraging (but still a long way to go to get to marathon pace).
Weight: 61.9kg
Weather: 6C/43F, 30%H, cloudy
4:00 - 24k - 6k x 4 (200m, 2:20)
2:18 of running at a 5:45/k pace.
At this easy pace, the knee and hamstring were ok. Quads a bit sore, though.
Weather: 10C/50F, cloudy.
Rest. Quads pretty sore. That's good, as that is what I have to strengthen in order to run a decent marathon.
