Training Campuses Environmental Management & Safety
Web Content Tile
CFA's regional training campuses provide our members with the opportunity to experience operational scenarios, including live fires, in a safe, controlled and realistic environment. This is essential in developing and maintaining the skills our members need to fulfil our mission of protecting the lives and property of Victorian communities.
The training campuses are purpose built, specialising in the simulation of scenarios that replicate field conditions within their region. CFA currently has seven regional training campuses, located at:
- Bangholme
- Wangaratta
- Longerenong
- Penshurst
- Huntly
- West Sale
- Sunraysia (Mildura) - opened in August 2015
CFA also hosts training programs at the Victorian Emergency Management Training Centre (VEMTC) in Craigieburn. This facility is set on 10 hectares, and is used by all Victorian emergency services agencies to provide comprehensive opportunities for our career and volunteer emergency services workers.
CFA takes the safety of our people very seriously. Following the closure of our Fiskville Training College in March 2015, we have worked with the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and other government and local authorities to assess the potential environmental impacts of historical training practices.
These practices included the use of fire-fighting foams containing perfluoroctane sulfonate (PFOS). Although CFA stopped using these foams at all training campuses in 2007, it is important that we understand the extent to which past firefighter training practices have potentially impacted our training campus sites, the environment, and the health and wellbeing of our members.
The EPA has issued CFA with Clean Up Notices for each of the regional training campuses, and CFA will continue to coordinate environmental testing at the campuses to meet the requirements under these Clean Up Notices.
Potential health risks posed to our members and the community from these practices have been independently assessed and are understood to be very low. On this basis, we are confident our regional training campuses remain safe for CFA members and visitors to engage in training activities.
To receive regular updates on this program of work, please register for our subscription service.
Further information on the regional training campus environmental assessments can also be found on the EPA website. The EPA has issued a perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) fact sheet (pdf 77k) to provide an overview of perfluorinated chemicals, including PFOS and established a hotline: 1300 372 842 to address any community concerns.
Clean Up Notices
On 4 September 2015, the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) issued a Clean Up Notice for CFA's Penshurst training campus. Clean Up Notices for the other five training campuses were issued on 5 October 2015. These include: Bangholme, Huntly, Longerenong, Wangaratta and West Sale.
Our training campuses remain safe for CFA members and visitors. Clean Up Notices are issued regularly by the EPA, and the process has been designed to ensure CFA's training campuses meet environmental standards in the future. The notices are available for public viewing on the EPA website.
The current environmental concerns are a result of historical training practices that are no longer conducted at our campuses.
CFA is working closely with the EPA, local authorities and community members to ensure we meet the requirements outlined under each of the Clean Up Notices.

Slim and sitcommy, but amusingly bawdy, dirty-mouthed, and breezy, "For a Good Time, Call…" might be the sweetest and most good-natured comedy about phone sex. This frisky indie fits right into the popular subgenre of chicks-being-as-naughty-as-the-dudes comedies, a fad that really took off with "Bridesmaids" and then its bitter cousin, "Bachelorette." Feature-debuting director Jamie Travis, working from a script by co-star Lauren Anne Miller and her former college roommate, co-writer Katie Anne Naylon, doesn't let his low budget and 16-day shooting schedule get him down because, though not memorable or a think-piece, this sitcom-ready diversion sure is a good time.
After her boyfriend says he needs to "re-evaluate" their boring relationship, strait-laced Lauren (Lauren Anne Miller) is left with an apartment she can't afford. Katie (Ari Graynor), a brassy, leopard-print-wearing free spirit, is living in her deceased bubbie's spacious apartment in Washington Square Park that's no longer rent-controlled, so she has to find a roommate. Their common gay best friend, Jesse (Justin Long), sets them up. You see, ten years ago in college, Lauren drove home the drunk Katie, who peed in her car, making them enemies. Once they're both convinced by Jesse, Lauren moves in and then gets let go from her publishing job, so what to do? One night, Lauren overhears Katie, who works multiple jobs, moaning in her bedroom…she's a phone-sex hotline operator! Before you know it, the girls start a phone-sex business, where Lauren takes charge of the billing for "1-900-MMM-HMMM." Down the road, of course, Lauren will end up hanging up her good-girl image and getting her chance to "ooh" and "ahh" on the phone.
High-concept all the way, the premise is no doubt a hoot. It also helps that Miller and Naylon's script is sharper and made more from scratch than the many phoned-in, design-by-committee studio movies. Then again, at 85 minutes—a brisk 85 minutes, though—the film does show its flimsiness and hurriedness when adding in forced narrative conflicts and formulaic beats typically found in a romantic-comedy. Beyond all the montage laughs and daring smut (complete with dildos and simulated sex), "For a Good Time, Call…" is really, at its heart, a "sismance"/"bramance"/"homance," the many answers to "bromance," exploring the deep affection in a female friendship. Lauren and Katie might be cut from the odd-couple cloth of movies, but there are more shadings to them than one might expect. Their double-entendre phone conversation after their "fake break-up" cleverly teeters on parody that you almost expect these platonic gals to switch teams; thankfully, it's kept sincere and made winning by Miller and Graynor.
Standing out in various supporting roles since "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," Graynor finally nabs one of the lead roles and sells it. The media labels Graynor as her generation's Bette Midler, which is true of her robust, uninhibited spark plug of comic energy, but she actually resembles Debbie Gibson. Either way, she's one of American comedy's best-kept secrets and gets to showcase what she's truly capable of as a headliner. With a sweetly demure appeal of her own, Miller is the squeaky-clean, squeaky-voiced "straight man" in the equation but doesn't overplay it, even when she lets her hair down in the dirty talk. In supporting roles, Long enjoyably gets free reign in playing the girls' sassy best friend and mediator; Mark Webber is harmlessly charming as Katie's regular caller who wants to meet her in person; and Nia Vardalos has a fun bit part as Lauren's potential boss. Kevin Smith, Seth Rogen (Miller's real-life spouse), and Ken Marino also turn in raunchy cameos as a few of the lewd but lonely callers.
Ultimately due to its likable, engaging leads and smartly snappy writing, the film never becomes a too-too farce. It's outrageous in the sense that these two gal pals take up such a dirty gig to pay the bills (they're not actually sluts), and R-rated without going for visual gross-outs (no woman defecates in a sink). Like something that would have been made in the '80s or '90s (back when sex hotlines were still a "thing"), this fun little girl-power comedy is very hard to dislike.

Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning is going to be playing against his former team, the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Manning played with the Colts for 14 years and in his last year playing with the team, he led the Colts to a Super Bowl berth against the New Orleans Saints where they eventually lost by a score of 31-17.
The Colts second year QB will be looking to best his opponent. Andrew Luck already beat the 49ers. I believe the city of Indianapolis will embrace Peyton Manning for his season so far, but I also believe the home squad will be booed a little for just allowing Peyton to walk like that. Clearly, this will be a match-up to watch for in Week 7, will the student school the teacher?

York is a beautiful city – full of half-timbered charm and cobbled-street character.
And it's even more beautiful in the sunshine. In which we basked during our weekend May Bank Holiday family get together. Bliss.
With family in York, it is the perfect place to stage a reunion – relatively central for everyone to get there (eventually. Sheesh, it's a fair long ride that) – the Cardiff clan, the Aberdeen clan, the Southampton clan and the London clan.
The weekend was spent enjoying the sunshine – slurping drinks in the evening sunshine, taking long (long) walks with the dog and ambling around central York, appreciating what it has to offer. And of course, as always, lots of questions. Yes, I'm graduating this year, and no I don't have a "proper" job yet. And no, I don't have any idea what to do with my life. Please, just let me drink my wine and wallow in my indecisiveness. However, I am going to Australia, so there's that. Take that.
The city of York is that perfect mixture of modern and old – timber buildings and cobbled pavements taking over the crowd logged streets. And then of course, there's York Minster. It's vastness remarkably different from the narrow cobbled streets – a beautifully intricate building and one of York's most important and beloved historical aspects. And as my Dad proudly points out every time – the huge doors which he once helped to paint. Every. Single. Time.
With its colourful history and vibrant character, York never fails to satisfy me. From its winding streets, to its incredible architecture, to its delicious nutella and banana pancakes, York is a place which features in my top ten British cities.
So with another family get together over for another year, it was time to head back to the bright lights of Cardiff. And to planning a trip to Australia. Looks like that's happening now I've told the whole family. Wish me luck!

The Government has recognised the importance of History in the education of young people by identifying it as one of the core academic subjects that make up the English Baccalaureate. History is seen as a subject most likely to be required or preferred for entry to degree courses and one that keeps the most options open.
History is a popular subject with our students and we aim to make it as exciting and enjoyable as possible. Through the study of History we want students to develop a wide range of skills which will equip them for their adult lives and will be useful in a wide range of jobs and further studies.
The History Department has four specialist teachers teaching in attractive and well resourced rooms having access to audio visual resources, TV and interactive whiteboards.
In Year 7 students study The Romans and the Development of the Church, State and Society 1066-1745. In Year 8 students study Ideas, Political Power, Industry and Empire 1745-1901 and Challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day. Whilst in Years 9-11 students who choose to study History follow WJEC G.C.S.E History which includes studying Germany in transition 1929-1947, the Elizabethan Age 1558-1603 and the development of the USA 1929-2,000. This course requires students to complete an element of controlled assessment on an Investigation into an issue of historical debate or controversy.

Isolation of Chromaffin Granules
Adrenal medullary chromaffin granules (dense core secretory vesicles) have been a valuable model system for the study of the proteins and membrane components involved in the process of exocytosis. Because of the abundance of chromaffin granules in a readily available tissue source, bovine adrenal medullae, and their unique sedimentation properties, it is possible to obtain large quantities of highly purified granules and granule membranes in a short period of time. Two protocols are presented here for the isolation of chromaffin granules: a basic protocol based on differential centrifugation in an iso‐osmotic medium that yields intact chromaffin granules, and an alternate protocol based on sedimentation through a density step gradient that provides a greater yield of more highly purified chromaffin granules. Since in the latter case the granules cannot be returned to a medium of physiological osmolarity without lysis after purification on the step gradient, the alternate protocol is more useful to obtain the granule membranes or contents for further study.

This story is bullshit. There is something else to it. To VA doesn't operate like that. I've been going to them for 6 years and never had any problems. And his is service connected. They wouldn't just leave him out there like that. There are good people at VA who would not allow that to happen.

The 2013 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly is scheduled to begin on Jan. 8 and will last 30 legislative days.
As usual during an odd-numbered year, in which sessions are half as long as in even-numbered years, the session will have two parts. The first four days of the session – Jan. 8 to Jan. 11 – will focus on organizational work, such as electing legislative leaders, adopting rules of procedure and organizing committees. The introduction and consideration of legislation can also begin during this time.

RUFC - Four Weeks And Counting
For Rotherham United, 4 May 2008 could be a very important day - important and sad. Because, this is the date that, unless a suitable buyer for the club is found, Rotherham United will cease to exist.
As we know the sales packages have gone out to potential purchasers and the Administrator, Jeremy Bleazard released a press statement on Wednesday evening saying that there were eight interested parties although several had been ruled out as they couldn't satisfy him that they had enough funds to save the club and take it forward.
For any Millers out there, now is the time to get down and show your support for the club. There are only three home games left and it could be that these will be the last ever football matches at Millmoor. So, come on, get yourselves down there starting tomorrow and let's show all of football that we do want a team in the town and we want that team to be called Rotherham United.

Objective: We wanted to know whether adolescents with eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) differ from those with bulimia nervosa (BN) in clinical features, comorbidity, risk factors, treatment outcome or cost. Method: Adolescents with EDNOS (n 5 24) or BN (n 5 61) took part in a trial of family therapy versus guided self-care. At baseline, eating disorder symptoms, risk factors, and costs were assessed by interview. Patients were reinterviewed at 6 and 12 months. Results: Compared with EDNOS, BN patients binged, vomited and purged significantly more, and were more preoccupied with food. Those with EDNOS had more depression and had more current and childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder. 66.6% of EDNOS versus 27.8% of BN patients were abstinent from bingeing and vomiting at 1 year. Diagnosis did not moderate treatment outcome. Costs did not differ between groups. Conclusion: EDNOS in adolescents is not trival. It has milder eating disorder symptoms but more comorbidity than BN.

New research shows one in 13 children will come down with some sort of food allergy.
A new law, recently signed by Governor Bill Haslam, could help in the case that the first attack happens at school.
The law authorizes all Tennessee schools to voluntarily stock epinephrine auto-injectors, better known as EpiPens.
One middle Tennessee family is pushing for EpiPens in schools because they know first
hand that the device can save lives.
Paul Tiedemann suffers from food allergies, especially nuts. He carries an EpiPen wherever he goes.
"Well, I have a lot of allergies," explained Tiedemann.
His mother, Kendra, told Nashville's News 2 they have a lock on it so "it's strong enough to keep kids out, but an adult can get in it, just by pulling."
Tiedemann explained how he opens it.
"First, you push it, you take off the safety cap and you push it on your leg. It saves me from having an allergic reaction," he said.
Tiedemann had a bad reaction a couple of years ago when he snacked on something he wasn't supposed to with his brother Norman.
"Once I snuck cheese with Norman, [it] had milk in it. Right away I had a reaction," he explained.
"When we were at the hospital and had doctors taking after him that it really hit me and I fell apart and I cried and I cried because I realized we could have lost him," explained Kendra Tiedemann.
Kendra has been pushing for this law because a child's first food allergy reaction happens one in four times at school.
"So they won't have an EpiPen prescription. They don't have that lifesaving medication available and by the time the school calls 911 and waits for an ambulance to arrive, it could be too late."
Nashville's News 2 contacted several area county school systems. All of them stated they are looking to develop a policy.
EpiPens4schools.com is one option. On the Web site, schools can fill out a form and obtain EpiPens for free.
Supporters can help by spreading word of the Web site to local school principals or nurses.

Like other users have reported my workbench simply wont recognise my Tyler Variax. Like other users Monkey finds it and communicates but Workbench won't. It says no device is connected even when it IS either through my HD500 or workbench interface !!!
I am on a MacBook Pro with the latest OS. Everything is connected properly otherwise Monkey wouldn't work.

Flash CS4 Resources
Loading data
SWF files can load data from servers into ActionScript, and send data from ActionScript to servers. Loading data is a different kind of operation from loading media, because the loaded information appears directly in ActionScript, rather than being displayed as media. Generally, SWF files may load data from their own domains. However, they usually require policy files in order to load data from other domains (see Website controls (policy files)).
Using URLLoader and URLStream
You can load data, such as an XML file or a text file. The load() methods of the URLLoader and URLStream classes are governed by URL policy file permissions.
If you use the load() method to load content from a domain other than that of the SWF file that is calling the method, Flash Player checks for a URL policy file on the server of the loaded assets. If there is a policy file, and it grants access to the domain of the loading SWF file, you can load the data.
Connecting to sockets
By default, Flash Player looks for a socket policy file served from port 843. As with URL policy files, this file is called the master policy file.
When policy files were first introduced in Flash Player 6, there was no support for socket policy files. Connections to socket servers were authorized by a policy file in the default location on an HTTP server on port 80 of the same host as the socket server. Flash Player 9 still supports this capability, but Flash Player 10 does not. In Flash Player 10, only socket policy files can authorize socket connections.
Like URL policy files, socket policy files support a meta-policy statement that specify which ports can serve policy files. However, instead of "master-only," the default meta-policy for socket policy files is "all." That is, unless the master policy file specifies a more restrictive setting, Flash Player assumes that any socket on the host can serve a socket policy file.
Access to socket and XML socket connections is disabled by default, even if the socket you are connecting to is in the same domain as the SWF file. You can permit socket-level access by serving a socket policy file from any of the following locations:
By default, Flash Player looks for a socket policy file on port 843 and on the same port as the main socket connection. If you want to serve a socket policy file from a different port, the SWF file must call Security.loadPolicyFile().
A socket policy file has the same syntax as a URL policy file, except that it must also specify the ports to which it grants access. When a socket policy file is served from a port number below 1024, it may grant access to any ports; when a policy file comes from port 1024 or higher, it may grant access only to ports 1024 and higher. The allowed ports are specified in a to-ports attribute in the <allow-access-from> tag. Single port numbers, port ranges, and wildcards are accepted values.
Here is an example socket policy file:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"> <!-- Policy file for xmlsocket://socks.mysite.com --> <cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="507" /> <allow-access-from domain="*.example.com" to-ports="507,516" /> <allow-access-from domain="*.example.org" to-ports="516-523" /> <allow-access-from domain="adobe.com" to-ports="507,516-523" /> <allow-access-from domain="184.108.40.206" to-ports="*" /> </cross-domain-policy>
To retrieve a socket policy file from port 843 or from the same port as a main socket connection, call the Socket.connect() or XMLSocket.connect() method. Flash Player first checks for a master policy file on port 843. If it finds one, it checks to see if the file contains a meta-policy statement that prohibits socket policy files on the target port. If access isn't prohibited, Flash Player first looks for the appropriate allow-access-from statement in the master policy file. If it doesn't find one, it then looks for a socket policy file on the same port as the main socket connection.
To retrieve a socket policy file a different location, first call the Security.loadPolicyFile() method with the special "xmlsocket" syntax, as in the following:
Call the Security.loadPolicyFile() method before calling the Socket.connect() or XMLSocket.connect() method. Flash Player then waits until it has fulfilled your policy file request before deciding whether to allow your main connection. However, if the master policy file specifies that the target location can't serve policy files, the call to loadPolicyFile() has no effect, even if there is a policy file at that location.
If you are implementing a socket server and you need to provide a socket policy file, decide whether to provide the policy file using the same port that accepts main connections, or using a different port. In either case, your server must wait for the first transmission from your client before sending a response.
When Flash Player requests a policy file, it always transmits the following string as soon as a connection is established:
Once the server receives this string, it can transmit the policy file. The request from Flash Player is always terminated by a null byte, and the response from the server must also be terminated by a null byte.
Do not expect to reuse the same connection for both a policy file request and a main connection; close the connection after transmitting the policy file. If you do not, Flash Player closes the policy file connection before reconnecting to set up the main connection.
Sending data
Data sending occurs when ActionScript code from a SWF file sends data to a server or resource. Sending data is always permitted for network domain SWF files. A local SWF file can send data to network addresses only if it is in the local-trusted or local-with-networking sandbox. For more information, see Local sandboxes.
You can use the flash.net.sendToURL() function to send data to a URL. Other methods also send requests to URLs. These include loading methods, such as Loader.load() and Sound.load(), and data-loading methods, such as URLLoader.load() and URLStream.load().
Uploading and downloading files
The FileReference.upload() method starts the upload of a file selected by a user to a remote server. You must call the FileReference.browse() or FileReferenceList.browse() method before calling the FileReference.upload() method.
The ActionScript that initiates the FileReference.browse() or FileReferenceList.browse() method can be called only in response to a mouse event or keyboard event. If it is called in other situations, Flash Player 10 and later throws an exception.
Calling the FileReference.download() method opens a dialog box in which the user can download a file from a remote server.
Note: If your server requires user authentication, only SWF files running in a browser—that is, using the browser plug-in or ActiveX control—can provide a dialog box to prompt the user for a user name and password for authentication, and only for downloads. Flash Player does not allow uploads to a server that requires user authentication.
Uploads and downloads are not allowed if the calling SWF file is in the local-with-filesystem sandbox.
By default, a SWF file may not initiate an upload to, or a download from, a server other than its own. A SWF file may upload to, or download from, a different server if that server provides a policy file that grants permission to the domain of the invoking SWF file.

Over the last two years Wikipedia has benefited from a number of Wikipedians in Residence, people who make data from the cultural institutions they work at available to Wikipedia. The article states, "It was just under two years ago when Liam Wyatt proposed a concept that seemed so bold, it required the British Museum to run a risk assessment before they'd agree to it. Liam suggested that he serve as the 'Wikipedian in Residence,' a role that would allow him to put into practice the idea that cultural institutions should share their knowledge with Wikipedia."
It continues, "Thankfully, the British Museum agreed. That basic premise has turned into a global movement known as GLAM-WIKI (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums). Today, the GLAM-WIKI community is made up of Wikimedians from around the world who work to establish models and best practices that help cultural institutions share their resources with Wikimedia."
The article adds, "Prior to Liam's residency in June 2010, cultural institutions had donated images to Wikimedia Commons, but there had not yet been an institution that committed to establishing a relationship with the Wikimedia community. The concept of building a mutually beneficial cooperation is at the heart of the Wikipedian in Residence scheme. The main role of a resident is to serve as a liaison between the museum and Wikipedia. Projects still include image donations, but now more often focus on staff workshops, outreach events (such as 'Backstage Passes') to connect with local Wikipedians, and on-site events (such as 'Edit-a-Thons') that help get cultural content out of the filing cabinets and into Wikipedia."

Forget wanting to have a beer with the prez, a recent ABC News poll found that quite a few people would rather have the Commander-In-Chief hold their hair while they puke from some undercooked shellfish.
From ABC News:
The American public may be divided on "Obamacare," but when faced with choosing a candidate to care for them if illness struck, President Obama is their man. By a 13 point margin — 49-36 percent — registered voters polled by ABC News chose the president over Mitt Romney to nurse them back to health.
When asked who they thought "would make a more loyal friend," the results were about the same. By a 50-36 percent count, respondents said Obama was more likely to stick with them through trying times.
It was a weird poll, asking who people would rather depend on in a crisis, who they thought would stand by them, nurse them back to health – everything but tell them that they're pretty – in a hyper-personal survey that had just enough creep factor to make the frivolous beer test sound sensible.
Partying is one thing. Bringing over the Chunky Monkey while you mourn the death of your relationship with the doctoral candidate of your dreams is something else altogether. I'm not saying that I don't want to be besties with Barack and Michelle. Anyone who followed my Michelle Obama coverage back in 2008 knows my desire for her to give me weight-lifting tips is real. Heck, if they're just looking for someone to pitch them jokes for various speeches, I'd be happy to free up some time on my joke writing schedule to hang out in the West Wing, throwing in some free Algebra tutoring to the Obama daughters.
But this kind of polling is a bit of modern convention. It's not that past presidents didn't pitch themselves as your buddy. After all, saying "I like Ike" is at its most basic level an affirmation that you think then general, soon-to-be President Eisenhower was pretty keen — but, while all Ike needed was to be a decorated war hero and respected mind, he didn't need to fret about the number of inches in his waistband or if his hair was Just for Men "Touch of Gray" presidential or a balding flop.
Politics has become a shallow business, and it's been fascinating to watch men (and women) be marketed to voters in the same way Pepsi floats out new drink ideas. Potential veep Paul Ryan was rolled out with more branding than Coke Zero. Ignore his voting record, but look at those abs! Ryan budget? Fudge-it! He dated a black girl once! He's like the GOP Robin Thicke … if Robin Thicke broke up with Paula Patton after high school and never spoke to her again.
Even Romney – who looks like a president out of Hollywood's central casting – is being marketed to us. Albeit poorly. For every "love the wife," "love the kids" moment he flip-flops on whether or not he'll keep or fight to repeal health care reform.
But Obama is really the perfect storm of what is expected out of modern TV presidential candidates – excellent public speaker, tall, way better-than-average looks for a politico. I'm convinced the only reason he isn't as fastidiously styled as his wife is because of the amount of hate that would rain down on the prez if he ditched the dad jeans for a fitted and slim suit. After all, he supposed to look like a president. Not Usher Raymond.
Even though more and more looking like a "president" means looking ready for primetime.
Historians often blame this emphasis on a candidate's looks and be-your-BFF ideal on the influence television has had as a medium, pointing back to the first televised presidential debate between the youthful John F. Kennedy and the less "Camelot" looking then vice president Richard Nixon. It didn't matter that those who heard the debate on the radio thought "Tricky Dick" won it. Kennedy looked good, better than Nixon, on TV. And, eventually, that's all that mattered.
But that's started to concern me. Some of our best leaders, legislators, champions, and activists haven't been traditionally pretty boy swagged up. Many don't have the best TV ready skills. If you can't hear the message over Lincoln's bony tall frame, protruding mole and beard; If you can't focus on Bill Clinton's borderline evil genius over the belly rolls he was rocking the 90s; if you're more worried about his wife Hillary Clinton's pants suits and scrunchie ponytail and sometimes practiced seeming warmth over her diplomacy efforts as secretary of state, are we losing out on future politicians who would be good for us and make incredible differences but fail at having that "Maybe she's born with it? Maybe it's Maybelline Look?"
President Barack Obama has so many wonderful attributes. His intellect. His drive. His diplomatic nature. His resolve. But do we cheapen it when we are more worried about whether we want him to be our friend versus our leader? Does that make it harder for the next man or woman who, for what they lack in looks and social graces, they more than make up in ideas, intelligence, leadership, and courage?
Are we building better candidates, or marketing?

A CONSULTANT engineer from Horsham was incredulous to learn Horsham District Council (HDC) has kept no written records concerning a key report.
The Leisure Futures Study was the controversial document that last November paved the way for the potential demolition of Broadbridge Heath Leisure Centre.
With a career of more than 45 years encompassing marine engineering, hospital engineering services and operational maintenance, two decades in the public sector, and a further eleven years as a private sector engineering and building services consultant, Faruq Ahmed of Chesworth Gardens is well qualified to hold HDC to account.
He could not not understand how the plan to bulldoze the sports centre could come so suddenly out of the blue and he wanted answers from his local authority.
What started as a series of unsatisfactorily answered phone calls, resulted in forensic probing under the Freedom of Information Act, today exclusively revealed in the County Times.
HDC's answers shocked and angered a frustrated Mr Ahmed, who has now stopped his correspondence with the council due what he terms their 'reluctance to give him straight answers'.
However, some of the responses he extracted under the FOI legislation did reveal some startling aspects regarding the commissioning of the report – first and foremost that the local authority maintains no central file on the Leisure Futures Study, and that the consultant was given no formal brief, just a verbal instruction.
Mr Ahmed told the County Times: "I feel like the council has something to hide.
"They're saying they don't keep any records.
"They don't have any records of how they commissioned the consultant.
"They don't have an appointment letter. There's no brief!
"As far as the leisure centre is concerned and its maintenance, no schedule has been produced.
"I feel they have not actually maintained the building.
"It is that bad!" he exclaimed.
The 71 year old member of the Chartered Institution of Building Services, who has extensive experience of maintaining public buildings, could not understand how £1.5 million was stated to be needed to keep the leisure centre open.
Having worked as a consultant for many years, Mr Ahmed, a chartered engineer who is also a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, wanted to know what academic and professional qualifications the consultant author of the Leisure Futures Study possesses.
Whilst the council has published the consultant's relevant experience, no details about his actual qualifications have been forthcoming. "They have avoided the question," said Mr Ahmed.
However, the engineering consultant's main concern is how, by whom, and why the study's consultant was initially commissioned last year.
Published in November 2011, the Leisure Futures Study which cost the council £6,400 concluded there is an over supply of sports halls in the north of the district, which justified an HDC cabinet decision to recommend Broadbridge Heath Leisure for decommissioning and demolition.
Mr Ahmed, along with many others, including this paper, wanted to know what formal brief was given to the consultant.
On December 16 last year he wrote to HDC: "Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am asking to see the contents of the File that HDC maintains on the Leisure Centre Study – from initiation to date; and the maintenance arrangements applied to the BHLC from the time HDC accepted it from the builders."
A month later, replying to the council's response that they do not maintain central records, Mr Ahmed wrote: "What records do you keep?" followed by a series of other questions pertaining to the report's commissioning, such as how was the study initiated?
On February 2, a council respondee wrote: "I repeat my earlier response that no central file is maintained on Leisure Futures Study."
An astounded Mr Ahmed, who has never appointed a consultant, nor accepted a consultancy on the basis of only a verbal agreement, told the County Times: "I think this is very wrong.
"I am shocked because it is a public body, and they should keep records of what they have said and what they haven't."
In the course of his communications with the council Mr Ahmed learned that HDC rules on tendering permit a consultant to be cherry picked for one off assignments if the fee is less than £10,000, but he still believes a formal record should be made of any brief or discussions pertaining to the work.
He posed a hypothetical premise which makes obvious the inherent dangers of not keeping records.
"I'm not saying that they did, but how are they going to prove they didn't tell the consultant to go and do a study for £9999, and the report should conclude that Broadbridge Heath leisure centre should be knocked down because it does not serve any purpose. How are you going to prove that you didn't say that?"
HDC has confirmed in writing: "The brief was conveyed verbally in meetings with the consultant."
An exasperated Mr Ahmed said: "It is a public body. How are they spending our money?
"Is everything done by word of mouth? Are no records kept of anything?"
Told he could not view the council's file because none existed, Mr Ahmed questioned how the whole sports centre saga began.
Speaking to this paper he remarked: "All of a sudden it happened. How did it happen?
"How do you start on a study without someone saying you should look at the minutes of a meeting of councillors or something? It should be on the file.
"And all of a sudden you've got a study, and a consultant has been picked, but no formal written brief has been given to him, and you get a report."
Is this due process? "I wouldn't have thought so," said Mr Ahmed, who worked in the public sector for 20 years.
He added: "I have never come across this, that one person can just verbally say do it and it's done. There is no record to say how all this started.
"There is only a verbal brief," the details of which have not been outlined.
Mr Ahmed's discourse with the council has led him to one conclusion, oft repeated by others concerned about the threatened sports facility.
"I think they are in trouble, with not enough money. They have squandered a lot of money they haven't got and they aren't getting enough from the Government so they want to find some money and one way is to get rid of the leisure centre, to help balance the books.
"The site is worth a lot of money," concluded Mr Ahmed. "They have an agenda to knock it down irrespective of what people say."

i made a couple of layouts last week with basic grey's oxford collection. i just love that collection! :)
i knew exactly what i was going to use that glasses pattern for! my daughter loves wearing those fake glasses, and the paper was perfect for it!
to make the little hearts here, i cut the petals out of a couple of the flowers on the sticker sheet.
last year, i made a layout for books i read and wanted to do the same for this year. this collection was perfect for that! (& i am WAAAAY behind on reading this year! lol.) and, i swear this layout isn't actually crooked. my photography is just off today! lol.
LOVE the pencil stickers!

|Original upload: 2008-11-09 | by unknown |
Yammering in skateboarder slang, our narrator directs us straight to the action as these hunky boys get it on in every way possible, making for the ultimate skateboard fantasy (except the boys here aren't the typical suburban 15 year old). Based around a skateboard shop - "Dawg's House" - the wealth of skateboard characters bear big cocks and hairless chests in addition to their fiberglass accessories.
From the get-go, we're treated to some really involving action. A double-penetration (taking away from the intensity is the voyeur narrator moaning "Oh Dawg, yeah") and oral warm-up leading to a synchronized double geyser of cum!
Later, loads of threesomes, an insane 4-way double penetration fuck, and even a solo bit pepper up this soup but good. There's even touches of intentional humor in the video, like when a UPS delivery guy (a ferocious Mack Reynolds) drops a thick load after fucking the store's worker, he remarks "there's your package."
Of course, these dudes say things like "Rad, man - fuck that hole" during sexual duty. So while even the most hardcore skateboard-fetish fellow would be hard pressed to deny that guys look like fuckin' idiots stumbling around naked in skateboard elements like knee pads and helmets, this video definitely deserves a spin.

Nikas Safronov has illustrated a book of poems by Alexander Shijanova
The apartments Nikas Safronov, was held the presentation of collection of poems of Alexander Shijanova "Comet of love", where the illustration was used of paintings by famous artist. The author has told "MK", how the painting influenced his poetry.
photo: Natalia Muslinkina
— How long were you writing a book?
— Life, the verses are not specifically written.
— How to choose artwork for your design?
— I all life communicated with artists. At home I weigh about a hundred paintings: Zverev, Popkov, Drobitsky. Painting is something without which I cannot exist. Poetry is the same painting, only in verse. Picture for illustration purposes we selected together with Nikas Safronov. The paintings and poetry were similar. For example, I saw a painting by Nikas dream Muddled Margarita on the visit of the Roman Empire". It were very inspiring to me, and I immediately wrote the lyrics to this piece.
The next questions we addressed Nikas Safronov:
— Nikas, why you decided to make a book of these paintings?
I remember when I was in school in the 3rd grade, in the library, I got a little book — "Naughty stories" by Balzac in the design of Gustave doré. I immediately fell in love with Balzac, and in Dor — it has become for life one of my favorite artists. When a person is not able to dream, but feels the beauty and nature of things, through good illustrations opens up the world of poetry.
— What should be the illustration?
— First and foremost, it should not be a kind of a geographical map. It's always a metaphor, good poetry is always allegorical. In addition, for the poet, who has a name, but not of the world, an illustration will help to attract the reader.
The style of the picture should correspond to the genre in which the poem was written?
— Sasha long years of talks with artists and knows exactly what kind of artist he needs for this or another book of his poems. For any poet, the illustration is almost the dominant privilege. It is this Union of artist and poet, and created this book.

Wednesday, December 5, 2012 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (EST)
Event Details
Sam Wazan provides a rare insight into the vast complexities of Middle Eastern demographics, politics, policies, and religious perspectives for a better understanding. He explains how so many good people are unknowingly feeding the fire, and aiding those who stopped questioning their means in pursuit of salvation.
Wazan highlights catalysts that produce radicals, and the factors that render moderates silent, by sharing his experiences growing up torn between his faith education to accept Christians, Jews, and nonMuslims, and the reality on the ground to support their annihilation. He frames the religious violence uniquely, and transforms his war stories into lessons learned.
Wazan authentically details a redemptive way forward. He uses anecdotes and real life scenarios in describing the road map to peace. His Journey to Civility provides audience members with specific choices to help end the suffering, disability, premature death, and spread joy and harmony in the world.

Up your wormhole: Star Trek Deep Space 9 turns 20
I've always been strangely fascinated by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary - amazing how time flies, even when you're not an agent of the Federation Department of Temporal Investigations - it's the densest and most mythology-rich of all the Star Trek TV shows. Often ambitious and audacious, it won more battles than it lost and remains a box-set must-own for any card-carrying Starfleet fan. However, it was also paradoxically (at times) the slowest, ugliest SF show on the box.

Soccer-Van Persie hat-trick salvages United's season
* Relief for Moyes as United keep season alive
* Premier League champions overturn first-leg defeat
* Van Persie the catalyst for Old Trafford comeback (writes through)
By Mike Collett
MANCHESTER, England, March 19 (Reuters) - Robin van Persie's hat-trick lifted the gloom surrounding Manchester United and manager David Moyes as the English side beat Olympiakos Piraeus 3-0 to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit and reach the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday.
United, mounting a dismal defence of their Premier League title in Moyes's first campaign since replacing Alex Ferguson, kept alive their last remaining hope of lifting a trophy this season.
Asked to show character by their manager, United responded with Van Persie showing a clinical edge that has been missing of late while the recalled Ryan Giggs was also instrumental on his first start since late January.
Van Persie began the Old Trafford comeback with a 25th-minute penalty, awarded after he had been shoved in the back by Jose Holebas.
The Dutchman levelled the tie on aggregate in first-half stoppage time, steering in Wayne Rooney's cross and Van Persie completed his hat-trick with a free kick six minutes after the break that left Olympiakos keeper Roberto rooted to the spot.
Moyes, who cut a defiant figure this week despite his troubled start, praised a "magnificent team performance".
"There were no passengers tonight, everyone fought their corner and we played some really good football," the Scot told a news conference after United joined Premier League leaders Chelsea as the only English representatives in the last eight.
"It's especially pleasing as we did not play well in the first leg in Greece but came back strongly tonight.
"We might not be favourites to win the Champions League this season but if we go into the quarter-finals as underdogs that's fine by me.
"With this squad this club can be more than a match for anyone."
Giggs provided the passes for two of the goals on his 140th appearance in the competition, just two off the record held by Raul.
He said: "It was always going to be tough not to concede a goal and to score three goals but we managed it. The crowd got us over the finishing line.
"Hopefully tonight can be the turning point in our season."
Only twice in their long European history had Manchester United recovered from a 2-0 first leg defeat to advance, the last time 30 years ago when they came back from the same first leg score to beat Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate in the European Cup Winners Cup quarter-finals.
They also had history on their side with Olympiakos having lost all of their previous 11 European matches in England and had not scored a goal against United in their two previous meetings at Old trafford.
A repeat performance of the famous 1984 comeback over Barca appeared possible after United started with a much brighter tempo than they showed at any time in their humbling 3-0 defeat by Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
After Arsenal loanee Joel Campbell went close in the second minute for the Greeks, United took control of the game with Giggs, Danny Welbeck and Antonio Valencia, dominating the midfield both centrally and on the flanks.
Giggs picked out Rooney to head against the foot of the post after 18 minutes and it was from another angled delivery that Van Persie was pushed over by Holebas to put United ahead from the spot.
Giggs was involved in United's second, finding Rooney with another flighted pass for the striker to cross low for Van Persie to steer past Roberto.
United could never relax at the back with Olympiakos a constant threat on the counter-attack and it needed a superb double-save from goalkeeper David De Gea to keep the Greek side out.
He first kept out a header from David Fuster, then the follow-up from Alejandro Dominguez to keep United in the tie.
Van Persie's free kick early in the second half proved decisive, although the Dutch striker was carried off on a stretcher in the final minutes with an apparent leg injury.
Moyes said the striker took a knock behind the knee but was "hopeful it was not too bad".
Olympiakos coach Michel said his side's first-leg lead was never going to prove enough.
"We tried for the early quick goal to kill off the tie, but it did not come," he said.
"We played as well as we could play, but I always felt 2-0 was never going to be quite good enough." (Writing by Justin Palmer; editing by Ed Osmond)

James Bunting co-runs the Bristol faction of poetry slam promoters Hammer & Tongue.
"I started performing poetry when I was 18 after seeing Andrea Gibson, Katie Wirsing and Buddy Wakefield at a chance night in Bristol. I was blown away; I had no idea poetry could be like that and I wanted to try it.
"The best thing about slamming is the vibrancy. There are people who've been doing it 20 years and there are first timers, but they're all as good as each other. You get people from all walks of life and that's exciting to see; the scene never goes stagnant.
"For slam poetry in the UK to improve, it needs to open up. There are several amazing organisations running great slams, but until they unite there are always going to be these "factions". I think at the moment there are 4 National champions. One day I'd like to see just one."
Poetry heroes:
Buddy Wakefield and Dylan Thomas for getting me into poetry. Other slammers I admire include Jonny Fluffypunk, Sally Jenkinson, Vanessa Kissule, Julian Ramsey-Wade, Jack Dean. I think most poets today owe something to Kate Tempest, Polarbear and Dizraeli; they are the pinnacle of the scene.
Regular spots:
In London; Bang said the Gun, Chill Pill and Come Rhyme with Me. In Bristol; Hammer & Tongue.
Upcoming gigs:
Brainchild festival, 29th June - 1st July

As a single, working parent in rural Maine, Helen Hampton's mother made the courageous decision to put Helen in a boarding school so that Helen could catch up on her studies after a year-long illness. Shared Stories is a weekly column featuring articles by participants in a writing class at the Norwalk Senior Center. Bonnie Mansell is the instructor for this free class offered through the Cerritos College Adult Education Program. Curated by Carol Kearns In 1934, when I was ten years old, I had my tonsils taken out. After I came home from the hospital I had a hemorrhage and almost died. It caused a heart murmur, as I lost so much blood. I was so sick that I missed a full year of school.
My mother thought I would need a good school to get caught up with my studies. She decided that I should go to a private school, so I began attending a convent boarding school called Mount Merici in Waterville, Maine. It was taught by the Ursuline nuns. I would board there Monday through Friday, and return home each weekend.
My mother was a nurse, and after my father died, she had made our large home into a nursing home and cared for elderly patients. When she had just a few patients who could be left alone for a short time, my mother was the neighborhood "doctor."
She would answer various calls, such as attending to a person with a gallbladder attack. Or she would care for someone's sick child. I was happy that I would still be able to see my dear mother each weekend.
Life in a convent was quite an experience for a child of eleven. The sleeping quarters consisted of a long line of beds, head to head, in the middle of a large dorm room. The room had sleeping "alcoves" along the walls, with drapes that could be drawn for privacy. I had one of these private rooms with the bedspread and curtains of my choice. It was quite nice.
We ate our meals at long tables in a large dining hall. The nuns would walk up and down to see that everyone ate all of their food.
We wore black stockings, black dresses with white hard collars and cuffs that needed to be scrubbed every week with Bon ami. A big black bow tie completed the costume.
If anyone in the dorm came down with a cold, every child was given a dose of castor oil. There was only one bathroom at the end of the dorm. Needless to say, it was a very disturbing situation when we had to stand in a long line waiting our turn to use the bathroom. Everyone was hopping up and down in great distress. But I guess we must have managed to live through it.
We had great fun on our time off from our studies. There were many activities to fill our spare time. We roller-skated in the fall and spring, and we ice-skated in the winter. We put on plays, and I had many singing parts in our musicals.
I boarded in Mount Merici for three years. By then I was caught up with my studies, so I was able to go to public school for my remaining school years. Mount Merici was a good experience.

I have just started to use Decleor Angelique night balm although I have now added the face oil to my morning routine as I felt to achieve full benefit in this cold weather it was best to use both products with my own moisturiser (superskin which I love)
I am confused as the last shows demonstrated Neroli for skin which need moisture whereas I thought this was more for problem skin with breakouts etc I love using Angelique and feel it is improving the condition of my skin (I don't need as much moisturiser now) Decleor talk about taking breaks from the balms/oils although I may do this in the summer months I am unsure which is best for very dehydrated skin which is extremely fine and sensitive. I enjoy the way the face oil disappears and this is the only brand I have added to my Liz Earle routine (medical condition has caused the dehydration plus I don't eat fatty foods!)
Reading customer reviews on the Neroli worried me as they noted breakouts after using this plus the balm essential caused shiny skin which I don't want. I like the purity of the products as I don't want to compromise on quality with sythetitic chemicals in my skin care.
I also noted on Decleor's main site they only recommend Iris and Excellence of over 50 years which I think is important as to introduce these on younger skin would not leave any steps to go up to when over 50 (this isn't always stated on QVC as the oils are recommended for most skins)
Can I continue to use Angelique balm and oil or should I be looking at another oil for alternating the effect. I need moisture and extreme care taken as my skin is very fragile (paper thin dues to illness)
Thanks if these balms and oils could be advised on as I am confused. I have watched many shows but it is only now I decided to add the balm and then the oils as Fiona had a lot of speaking time which taught me a lot more than previous shows.
Q: I was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year and have just finished my radiotherapy. I used to have combination skin but this has changed to normal/dry. I use the Decleor neroli aromessence but should I now change to the Iris? (I am 44 years old) Could you please advise me on a complete am/pm routine?
I'm also struggling with my make-up as everything looks too heavy. I need a new look, which isn't too heavy, as I lost my hair and it's only now starting to regrow.
Alison: Firstly, I wish you continued improved health through your treatments. You have a common concern with this particular illness and you are doing exactly what you should be doing – readdressing and looking after you skin as it is now. Decleor is an excellent range to stay with.
I wouldn't necessarily jump to the Iris Oil but I would turn to the Angelique Face Oil instead. This is because it's winter and the central heating is on more now so your skin tends to get drier. The Angelique focuses more on dryness so it should give your skin more comfort, especially as your illness is one that tends to dry the skin out. Plus, the drier your skin, the more it will wrinkle so it's best to keep it as hydrated as possible. Iris Oil, instead, is designed to tackle the appearance of wrinkles so you can alternate these oils if you want.
If you want to use a moisturiser from the Gatineau range then I would take you to the Activ Eclat collection as these products focus on bringing the radiance and freshness back into the skin. It's also important to keep exfoliating your skin once a week. I think your skin may react to dermabrasion or to a strong exfoliant so try a gentle exfoliator only.
To get your skin looking really healthy, I'd definitely recommend the Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturising Balm. You can choose this balm by your skin tone and use it as a day cream, or on top of your Angelique oil. You could also apply it on top of the oil and on top of your moisturiser too. How you fit it into your routine depends on how dry your skin is feeling and how much comfort you feel your skin needs.
This Skin Tint won't look like make-up, it will give your skin more of a fresh, dewy look. You can powder it down too with any powder, such as Laura Geller Balance N Brighten which comes in a choice of two skin tones.

Serving DC - First PeP of 2011 School Year
Posted on 11/14/2011 @ 10:00 AM
Read more about the Panim el Panim experience through the eyes of a teen participant, Leora Einleger.
Leora, and 12 other teens from Deerfield, IL, went to Food and Friends in Washington, DC. The mission of Food & Friends is to foster a community caring for men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses by preparing and delivering specialized meals and groceries in conjunction with nutrition counseling.
Today we went to a food kitchen that prepares specialized food for people suffering with AIDS, HIV, and cancer. We packed over 500 bags with only 14 people. We had to specialize each bag to fit into their dietary needs. It was amazing how many options there were, and there was a big variety. Not only were there options for their dietary needs, but also for their personal likes. Food and Friends has over 1400 clients and only 50 employees. They need the help of volunteers to get most of the work done. We all became aware of the issues of dietary needs for people suffering from sicknesses. I was amazed that Food and Friends is able to serve so many homebound sick while still making everything free and interesting. – Leora Einleger, Heschel High School

Movie review: 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects'
The premise of 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' had the potential to make for a firecracker of a film, with dollops of humour. But unfortunately, it doesn't live up to the potential
Shaadi Ke Side Effects
U/A: Drama / Humour
Dir: Saket Chaudhary
Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Vidya Balan
When a woman, who can't wait to be a mother, weds a man, who's still a bachelor in his head, it is sure fire recipe for disaster.
Farhan Akhtar's timing and Vidya Balan's charm keep you glued
This premise of Shaadi Ke Side Effects had the potential to make for a firecracker of a film, with dollops of humour. And it has a charming set of lead stars to add to the value. But unfortunately, it doesn't live up to the potential.
Siddharth (Farhan Akhtar) weds fun-loving, chatterbox Trisha (Vidya Balan) after he falls head over heels in love with her. Trisha "accidentally" gets pregnant and once the child comes into their lives, their relationship starts going downhill as Siddharth had feared. He watches in horror as Trisha slowly turns into nothing but an obsessed mother and he finds it really tough to settle into blissful fatherhood.
The on-screen chemistry between Siddharth and Trisha is not crackling but is comfortable as expected of a married couple. The two competent actors make their marriage and the film real and believable. While some changing equations of a relationship after marriage raised by Saket Chaudhury, as a director and writer, are relevant, some of them are sweeping generalisations based on clichés, perhaps inspired from SMS jokes and the like.
Saket raises a pertinent point about how romance and sex life of a couple go for a toss after parenthood because of their changed attitude towards each other. In the first half, the storyline laced with oodles of humour keeps you hooked. Farhan's comic timing and Vidya's natural charm is enough to keep you glued to and concerned about the story of their failing relationship.
The second half starts dipping midway and the "twist" introduced just before the climax seems contrived and unnecessary. One major concern is that the marriage that Saket shows in this film is somewhat outdated. Wish he had indulged in the grappling issues of the truly modern urban marriages where both partners are career-conscious and gender roles are no longer clearly demarcated as they were perhaps a decade ago. It could have been a far better film if it stayed away from predictable situations and at times, jokes.
The film is fun but shallow, nevertheless. A pity, because with a subject of this kind, the possibilities were immense.

Blu-ray now on Niveus... no more HD DVD support!

Re: Blu-ray now on Niveus... no more HD DVD support!
Why would Toshiba want to put research into a new combo player? That seems absurd to me. They need to abandon it all of the way, and step into the Blu-ray market, as they are already behind. Consumers who have a considerable investment in HD-DVDs have a player already. They obviously have to support their current customer base, but they need to focus on getting into the Blu-ray game.
Additionally, I feel combo players always compromise performance for the dollar. I don't see, at a given price point, produced by the same manufacturer, how a multi task machine could be produced that will outperform a machine dedicated to a single task, not to mention be more stable. The companies that produce the best performing player for the dollar are going to profit the most from the Blu-ray player market. Making a combo play to support a dead format is bad business.
I also wonder what impact a combo player would have on extending the time frame for movies like the Bourne trilogy to be reissued in Blu-ray.
