OSHA's Mission
Over 100 Million Workers Count On OSHA
The mission of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is to save lives, prevent injuries and protect the health of America's workers. To accomplish this, federal and state governments must work in partnership with the more than 100 million working men and women and their six and a half million employers who are covered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.
Our Services
OSHA and its state partners have approximately 2100 inspectors, plus complaint discrimination investigators, engineers, physicians, educators, standards writers, and other technical and support personnel spread over more than 200 offices throughout the country. This staff establishes protective standards, enforces those standards, and reaches out to employers and employees through technical assistance and consultation programs.
The Public We Serve
Nearly every working man and woman in the nation comes under OSHA's jurisdiction (with some exceptions such as miners, transportation workers, many public employees, and the self-employed). Other users and recipients of OSHA services include: occupational safety and health professionals, the academic community, lawyers, journalists, and personnel of other government entities.
Service Improvement Plan
OSHA is determined to use its limited resources effectively to stimulate management commitment and employee participation in comprehensive workplace safety and health programs.
Surveying Our Public
At OSHA, we are dedicated to improving the quality of our efforts and know that to be successful we must become an agency that is driven by commitment to public service. The first step is for OSHA to listen and respond to its customers. Accordingly, we conducted a survey to learn more about what employers and employees think of OSHA's services.
Because workplace inspections are one of OSHA's principal activities and because voluntary efforts to improve working conditions ultimately depend on strong enforcement, our survey focused primarily on the inspection process. We asked a random sample of employees and employers who had recently experienced an OSHA inspection what they thought of the inspection in particular, and of OSHA's standards and educational and other assistance activities in general.
Service Standards
We based OSHA's new standards for public service on what we learned from the survey, from meetings with employee and employer groups, and from focus group discussions with workers from many plants and industries across the country.
Our public service improvement program will be an ongoing one. We will continue to gather information on the quality of our performance in delivering services in areas not included in this year's survey, particularly in the construction sector. Next year, too, we plan to learn more about public response to our assistance and consultation programs.

Bob Dylan Announces Late Summer 2012 North American Tour
If Bob Dylan is indeed planning a September release for his 35th studio album, then the fact that he's returning to North America in August is a good sign.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer kicks off a world tour June 30 in the U.K. at the Hop Farm Music Festival and will stay over in Europe for a majority of the summer. However, Consequence of Sound reports that he will make the jump across the pond on Aug. 10 to play the Exhibition Grounds in Lloydminster, Alberta, marking his first North American show of the summer.
After a few dates in Canada, Dylan will dive south of the border to start a U.S. run Aug. 14 in Missoula, Mont. The North American run carries over to a Sept. 1 conclusion in Big Flats, N.Y.
Los Lobos member David Hidalgo recently stated that he had contributed to a new album Dylan was working on. The news of new music was later confirmed by fan publication ISIS, who stated that members of the staff at Sony had enjoyed a listening party of the new music but were sworn to secrecy on details.
However, word has it that the still-untitled record is expected in September.

The passage of a bill in early 1909 by the Thirty-first Texas Legislature authorizing the establishment of a State normal school for the education of teachers located somewhere "west of the ninety-eighth meridian" set off a spirited bidding war as some 25 west Texas cities and towns competed to secure the educational institution. On Sept. 9, 1909, the location committee, consisting of the speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, the lieutenant governor and the superintendent of public instruction, announced its decision. The location for the school, already named West Texas State Normal College, would be Canyon, a young community of 1,400 located near the center of the rapidly developing Texas Panhandle. Many factors were involved in the location decision, but a pledge of 40 acres of land and $100,100 in cash made Canyon's bid particularly attractive. Although not mentioned in the official report, the city's lack of saloons also strengthened its case.
If you would like to read more about the University's history, below are the different presidential eras, from its inception to the present.

Sure, I knew the NHL season that ended June 24 was shorter than usual, maybe even shorter than it should have been. The lockout that kept the season from opening until Jan. 19 reduced the number of regular season games from 82 to 48. I knew all that, but like lots of people who love the sport – even those of us who are supposed to be objective about it – hockey ended too soon and too suddenly.
Here are a few post-Stanley Cup thoughts about the Flyers and the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
First, the Flyers:
Their year was a huge disappointment. While everyone was expecting the team to reach the playoffs, major injuries to significant players (Scott Hartnell, Danny Briere, Maxime Talbot and most of the defense) and underachieving performances from others (newly minted captain Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier and Brayden Schenn) kept the team from living up to expectations.
The loss of Chris Pronger to career-ending injuries a year ago and Jaromir Jagr and Matt Carle to other teams last summer also contributed to the team's shortcomings. While the controversial Ilya Bryzgalov got off to a strong start, the lack of a reliable backup until the last few games of the season exhausted him. The result was a significant drop in his performance.
On the plus side, the team brought back three popular former Flyers: Ruslan Fedotenko, Simon Gagne and Mike Knuble. All had decent seasons, sometimes playing together on what was dubbed "The Alumni Line." Gagne's return was the most successful.
Late in the season, the Flyers traded for former Calder Cup-winner (that's the rookie-of-the-year award) Steve Mason. The team finally had a reliable second goaltender. His play, in the seven games in which he appeared, was superb and encouraging.
Now that the season's over, the Flyers have a lot of decisions to make. Each team is allowed two "compliance buyouts," a/k/a "amnesty buyouts," to help them get their payroll in line with the new, lower salary cap. The Flyers have already exercised theirs.
The first to be bought out was Danny Briere, one of the classiest men ever to don a Flyers sweater. That saves the team $6.5 million in cap space for the next two seasons. The fans, the media and his teammates will miss him a lot. But he was just too costly to keep.
It's likely that only reporters who found him a great source of stories based on his outlandish and self-serving comments will miss the other, goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov. His numbers as a Flyer have been mediocre. This past year his save percentage was a barely acceptable .900 and his goals against average was a relatively high 2.79.
Without him, the Flyers will have fewer distractions, a happier team, the possibility of finding the elite goalie they've lacked since Ron Hextall retired in 1999 and, what General Manager Paul Holmgren says is most important, save $5.667 million for each of the next seven seasons.
All of this leaves lots of questions. Who will the goaltender(s) be? How are they going to fix the defense? Will the young guys who had less-than-great 2013s be back in form for the new season?
Time will tell, but the team's core is solid. Those closest to the team say they expect a busy and perhaps surprising summer ahead. It's fun to contemplate what this team will look like when training camp opens Sept. 11.
The Stanley Cup playoffs were as exciting as anyone could wish. Vaunted teams like Los Angeles and Pittsburgh were eliminated. In the end the Boston Bruins and the Chicago Blackhawks met in the first Original-Six Finals since the Montreal Canadiens bested the New York Rangers 4 games to 1 in 1979.
The Blackhawks/Bruins series was a corker. Three of the games were decided in overtime (one in three extra periods). Game six ended with the Blackhawks winning the Cup in the last 90 seconds, scoring two goals in 17 seconds to prevent the Bruins from taking the finals back to Chicago for game seven.
I have a question for NBC. Why – if you're trying to promote the sport, have the best play-by-play man in the business, and have clearly proven that the Stanley Cup Finals are a draw – do you only schedule games 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 for the network and assign games 2 and 3 to your cable outlet, NBCSN? My God, people, how can you possibly choose "The Voice" over the voice of hockey? Why should all the games be on NBC? They said it themselves: "Because it's the Cup."
One final thing: The Daily News' Ed Barkowitz said on CSN's "Philly Sports Talk" that the MVP of the Stanley Cup Finals was Mike "Doc" Emrick, the aforementioned "voice of hockey." Patrick Kane was certainly deserving of the Conn Smythe Award – the official MVP award – but I agree completely with Ed's comment.
Doc and the rest of the league will be back in about 10 weeks after what promises to be a very interesting summer. Stay tuned.

Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York, England, on February 21, 1907. He moved to Birmingham during childhood and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. As a young man he was influenced by the poetry of Thomas Hardy and Robert Frost, as well as William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Old English verse. At Oxford his precocity as a poet was immediately apparent, and he formed lifelong friendships with two fellow writers, Stephen Spender and Christopher Isherwood.
In 1928, his collection Poems was privately printed, but it wasn't until 1930, when another collection titled Poems (though its contents were different) was published, that Auden was established as the leading voice of a new generation.
Ever since, he has been admired for his unsurpassed technical virtuosity and an ability to write poems in nearly every imaginable verse form; the incorporation in his work of popular culture, current events, and vernacular speech; and also for the vast range of his intellect, which drew easily from an extraordinary variety of literatures, art forms, social and political theories, and scientific and technical information. He had a remarkable wit, and often mimicked the writing styles of other poets such as Dickinson, W. B. Yeats, and Henry James. His poetry frequently recounts, literally or metaphorically, a journey or quest, and his travels provided rich material for his verse.
He visited Germany, Iceland, and China, served in the Spanish Civil war, and in 1939 moved to the United States, where he met his lover, Chester Kallman, and became an American citizen. His own beliefs changed radically between his youthful career in England, when he was an ardent advocate of socialism and Freudian psychoanalysis, and his later phase in America, when his central preoccupation became Christianity and the theology of modern Protestant theologians. A prolific writer, Auden was also a noted playwright, librettist, editor, and essayist. Generally considered the greatest English poet of the twentieth century, his work has exerted a major influence on succeeding generations of poets on both sides of the Atlantic.
W. H. Auden served as a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets from 1954 to 1973, and divided most of the second half of his life between residences in New York City and Austria. He died in Vienna on September 29, 1973.

IP address subranges within this IP range
IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.
Traffic works its way around the internet based on the routing table, which contains a list of networks and their associated netblocks.

I had a day off and the water was calling my name. It was in the mid 50's, but the wind was blowing about 30 mph. Not the best time to be out, but the best time as I could get.
I got to the pond and headed for the dam. I could be out of the wind some and had a break line to fish. Great theory, but the fish were not interested in anything that went in the water. I fished several flies at different depths with different retrieves without success.

The birth of a new baby is a major milestone in anyone's life. But ask any parent, and they will tell you raising a kid doesn't come cheap.
Continue Reading Below
"New families aren't prepared financially," says Will Smayda, Southern California regional sales manager for Merrill Edge. "For starters, they don't know how much it'll cost both immediate [term], as well as over the next 18 years."
A new baby can cost almost $10,000 during the first year, according to BabyCenter. "You don't finance this, it's out of pocket or on a credit card," says Smayda.
Since parents' lives change after babies are born, experts suggest discussing budgets and finances before diapers and midnight feedings become priority.
Create a Baby-Proof Budget
"Every family should have a budget," says Jordan Amin, chair of the National CPA Financial Literacy Commission at the American Institute of CPAs. Expectant parents should carefully evaluate any non-essential spending to shore up extra money for the baby, and create a budget.
"Be honest with yourself about what you're spending," says Amin.
Soon-to-be parents should strive to create cushion for expenses like diapers that cost from $30 to $85 per month or formula that rings in around $60 to $100 per month, according to BabyCenter.
"If you're going to put a line item for child expenses, double your anticipated expenses," says Smayda. "Then you have to go find that money." Any surplus can go into savings.
What to Buy
There's a never-ending supply of things to buy for a baby. "You really have to get grounded in the fact that your love for your child is not measured by how much you spend on them, period," says Scott Halliwell, certified financial planner at USAA. "There's all this enthusiasm and the immediate response is to go buy a bunch of stuff."
Shopping for a new baby is exciting, but it should not break the bank. "Once the baby is born, you're going to get every offer under the sun and magazines telling you everything that's fashionable," says Walter Primoff, director at Altfest Personal Wealth Management. "If you do this with over exuberance, you could come out with a lot of debt."
Experts recommend waiting until after birth to make most purchases. Emotions will be calmer, and people tend to make better financial decisions if they're not emotionally charged up.
"There are very few things you have to have when you bring a baby home, [like] a car seat, a place for the baby to sleep, and diapers," says Amin. "They don't use a high chair in the beginning, or a swing or stroller the first day they're born. Give yourself a moment to catch your breath and to think a little more clearly and rationally."
Amin suggests talking to other parents to learn what products are worth the cost and to be sure to check the safety standards on purchases.
Know What Your Health Insurance Covers
"Know what the birth will cost," advises Primoff. Health insurance plans have different co-payments and deductibles and may not cover the entire cost of C-sections, doctor visits, and hospital stays.
"It's very important not to wait to understand your insurance coverage," says Suzanna de Baca, vice president of wealth strategies at Ameriprise Financial. Once your baby is born, they need to be added to your policy. "With everything on your mind, you can forget to sign your child up for coverage."
De Baca also suggests reviewing life insurance and disability coverage. "These are important to add when you have a child and to add to your budget." Your policies through an employer may be sufficient but decide if this is enough coverage if something happens.
Update Your Estate Planning
Experts agree that every parent should have a will, power of attorney and guardianship plan. Even though the probability of both parents passing is small, parents need to name a guardian for their child, says Halliwell. "It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be done otherwise the court will decide the child's guardian."
While preparing a will, Amin recommends having a medical directive in place in the event something happens to the mother while giving birth.
Plan for Child Care
Parents should decide whether a parent will stay home to care for the child or find child care before the baby's born.
"If the parents both plan on working, the sooner you start on that one, the better," says Halliwell. "If you wait, it might be more expensive than if you planned and you may have fewer choices that might drive up your cost."
Depending on where you live, childcare in a family home can cost between $3,850 and $12,100 per year and childcare in a center can cost between $4,650 and $18,200, according to the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies.
"Decisions about childcare and babysitting should be very carefully calculated," says de Baca. "Look at your own situation." If one person isn't going to stay home, she suggests calculating the cost of childcare and weighing that against your income. "The decision about a parent leaving the workforce isn't just about the loss of income but also loss of access to a retirement plan."
Start Saving for College
Experts recommend factoring education costs into your financial plan from the start.
"The longer you have to save, the better," says Halliwell. He recommends putting aside $25 to $50 per month in a 529 plan. "It's easier to adjust what you're doing than to start from square one in most cases," says Halliwell.
Since opening accounts may not be a priority after the baby comes, Amin suggests opening a tax-deferred 529 account in a parent's name. "You can make yourself the beneficiary, [and], as soon as the child's born, you can transfer the account [to your child]."
A new baby is special experience for a family. "Having a child changes many things in your life, but now's the time to take stock of where you are financially, where you'd like to get financially, and begin making the changes to get from point A to point B," says Amin. "Once the baby's born, you're going to have your hands full."

NZ Police scum tactics & Rob Gilchrist - why was he allowed to send them explicit pictures of teen activists?
Police spy sues for mental pain
A former police informant who spied on protest groups is planning to sue police for the consequences of his decade of deception.
Rob Gilchrist was outed in December 2008 after his girlfriend, animal rights and Labour activist Rochelle Rees, stumbled across police emails when he asked her to fix his computer.
Mr Gilchrist, now in his mid-40s, was a member of many of the groups on which he reported to police. He has since suffered from depression and says his life has been threatened.
The scum tactics the NZ Police used when they paid traitor Rob Gilchrist have never been fully investigated. That the NZ Police have so much time on their hands that they can pay an informant to spy on protest groups rather than the organized crime they gain these vast search and surveillance powers for in the first place has never been deeply investigated by the media.
I personally think Gilchrist is the lowest piece of trash in NZ and am very glad to see him se depressed and his life turn. It's called karma Rob, and i know you are egotistical enough to google your name and see this post. That you turned on peace activists and environmental activists and poverty activists should forever be your shame and treachery.
That said, it was his Police handlers who should be now be hunted down and embarrassed. If as Gilchrist says he was used as a 'walking search warrant' then that needs investigation.
The most disturbing allegation now is that Gilchrist sent explicit photos of teenage activists to the NZ Police and they seemed to think that was appropriate?
The deep sexism and alpha male old boys club of the NZ Police is poking its ugly head up again. Shouldn't the NZ Police be trying to crack down on organized crime rather than Greenpeace?

Daily Devotional
November 1
Twilight: A Letter to the Saints
by the Rev. Andrew Kuyvenhoven
Philippians is Paul's love letter. The epistle is also a good instrument for learning the secret of this great man. Paul considered living Christ and dying gain. And, although he wrote from a prison cell, his refrain was "Rejoice in the Lord always."
Bible Reading:
Philippians 1:1–3
Bible Text:
Paul and Timothy ... to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi together with the overseers and deacons... (Phil. 1:1).
Paul is in prison, probably at Rome. Timothy, his spiritual son and fellow evangelist is with him, although not a prisoner. The Christians in the town of Philippi had sent a gift to Paul. Now Paul sends this letter thanking his friends for the gift. Later, this letter to the Philippians became a part of the sacred writings through which the church of God knows the truth.
Paul calls himself and Timothy simply "servants of Christ Jesus." That title says it all.
He calls the church members "saints"—that is, holy people. In the Bible a person and a church are holy not because they have managed to make themselves noticed by their high moral standards and godly behavior, but because God has set them apart from other people. Once we are set apart, we try to honor God by our moral excellence. But don't reverse that order.
They are saints "in Christ Jesus." They believe in Christ and have been baptized in his name. They are holy because they belong to Jesus Christ.
Paul also mentions the "bishops" (overseers), a position originally the same as our office of elder, and "deacons." Elders (or bishops) and deacons (or helpers) should serve in every church of the saints.
That's the God-ordained way to preserve the grace and the peace that have come to us from God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Andrew Kuyvenhoven's Daylight, a modern devotional classic, was originally published in 1994. This edition is copyright by Faith Alive Christian Resources, from whom may be ordered Daylight, the predecessor of Twilight.
A man of many accomplishments, Andrew Kuyvenhoven is probably best known for his contributions to Today (formerly The Family Altar), a widely-used monthly devotional booklet associated with the Back to God Hour. Unless otherwise indicated, Scripture quotations for this edition of Twilight are from the New International Version

I have come to equate Jesus to a squeegee. No, I'm not trying to be blasphemous. Jesus and the squeegee have one very important thing in common: both are responsible for cleaning. The difference is that one cleans our bathroom shower doors and the other, our souls.
Jesus as a Squeegee?
As a very fallible human being, I have to ask God for forgiveness all the time. Because He is loving and gracious, He heeds my requests and wipes my heart clean when I bow before Him and confess. He removes my sins as far "as the east is from the west" (Psalm 103:12, NLT). And yet, more often than not, these sins are still as plain as day to me. God may see me as white as snow, completely purified, but when I see myself, I still see the long list of sins that I have committed.
Imagine the shower doors completely speckled with water droplets. I squeegee one shower door, removing all trace of water and scum, making it completely transparent. I then switch the doors and for a moment and the uncleaned door is directly behind the cleaned one. No longer does my first door look immaculate at all – I can only see the water and scum on the second door. It is as if I never cleaned anything. All the dirt and scum and water are still there.

Jennifer Lawrence and a douchebag
I hope she's not dumb.
Us Weekly is reporting that Jennifer Lawrence was out with John Mayer the other night. They were with a group of friends. He gave her extra special attention and she seemed to enjoy it. Apparently he also wanted to get her drunk.
Of course he did.
So he could piss on her naked body while playing his music.
Lawrence has been dating Nicholas Hoult for some time now. She was with him in England for a few weeks, being young and in love...which is where she belongs, and not skeezed over by a vile pig. Please I hope she's not dumb. Because I like her so much.
Have you seen her in the new trailer for The Silver Linings Playbook? I'm not sure how I feel about the movie yet, and it may be because I HATE the music they're using, but she, as usual, is the best, and SO versatile, right? That's not Ree, that's not Katniss, that's not Mystique, it's an entirely other character. Jennifer Lawrence is that good. Too good for John f-cking Mayer.

2013 WJHC – Game 3 Summary – Canada vs. USA
Canada wins 2-1 over the USA. Canada built up an early 2-0 lead in this one, in the first period. They exchanged chances with the Americans up until the 3rd period where the US came on strong in spite of getting into serious penalty trouble. Canada had a brief 5-on-3 followed up by a full 2 minute 5-on-3, but couldn't capitalize.
This game was Malcolm Subban's best game we've seen thus far, answering questions about whether he could rise to the question or not. He did make one near fatal error though. On a delayed penalty in which he was a bit mysteriously called on a trip, Subban raised his hands in disgust just before a shot was coming in from the point. Luckily, our boy Nugent-Hopkins came to the rescue, sliding across on one knee to block the shot, or that likely would have went right in (thumbs down to him though for taking a dumb penalty in the final 2 minutes of the game while protecting a 1 goal lead though). Credit also to Scott Harrington for his unheralded defensive game. He came up big near the end of the game to stop the Americans from banging in a loose puck. That all said, Subban played quite fantastically throughout the game, including a huge kick save (and a beauty) in the 3rd. He earned player of the game for this one. John Gibson also stood out in the other net and also was given player of the game.
Overall, I thought the Canadians played a decent game and managed to stay out of penalty trouble for the most part. This game was a lot less of an offensive showcase, and was more of a tight defensive game / goaltending battle… I would have thought the Americans would beat us in a game like that. It didn't help much that the Canadian powerplay was quite limp throughout the game. They had their chances, but couldn't finish.
Next game is vs. Team Russia tomorrow, a 7:00AM MST start. I'm looking forward to that one cause I can actually watch the full game live. I work tomorrow, but I'll have the game on for sure. I stayed up for two periods this AM for the Canada / USA game, but that was about all I could do. Canada will get a boost as J.C. Lipon (1 game) and Boone Jenner (3 games) return from their suspensions. I'm thinking about putting up an actual GDT for that one since there is a chance people will be up to watch that one.

~ Gulli's Full Part From Pirate Movie Productions' Hooked ~
Gulli ain't no third wheel. The filming and riding partner of the Helgason brothers may not have received the same kind of fanfare in the States as Halldór and Eiki (yet), but Guðlaugur Hólm "Gulli" Guðmundsson is more than on the come up. His is a difficult name to say the least, but without a doubt one that you'll be hearing about all next season. …And judging by the goods we've seen from and rumors we've heard about his recent killing spree while filming for Standard's new film and the Helgason's Sexual Snowboarding, it's safe to say that you'll be hearing his name mispronounced quite a bit in the coming 2011/2012. With standout parts in the Pirates' films, Bataleon edits, and expanded travels in Europe and the US, keep your head up for the Icelandic street-rider—you might just see just what Halldór, Eiki, and most of Euroland are already tipped on. Or an Elf.—AH
How you been, Gulli? How's this season going for you so far?
Just great! Been spending most of my season in Scandinavia, doing street rails. A lot of snow there this winter, so it's been perfect!
You're pulling double (triple?)-duty filming this season. Standard, Sexual Snowboarding, …and Pirates again?
Naw, only pulling a double! Standard and Sexual Snowboarding.
When we just talked to Halldór and Eiki a few weeks ago, they said, "watch out for Gulli's part this year." What should we expect? How are these parts going to be different for you?
[Laughs] I guess I've just been lucky this season! Always being at the right place, at the right time. Last year, I broke my back in February, so the season was short for me. This year, I've had more time to work on my video parts. Hopefully, I'll now get the chance to do some backcountry, as well.
~ Gulli's 2010 Re-Edit. Footage: Pirates ~
We saw you've been to Sälen Snowboard School? What's it all about, and how has it helped you as a rider
Yeah, I went [to Sälen] for four years. I had regular classes, and then I got to ride a lot, with good support from their snowboarding trainers. Back home in Iceland, we don't really have parks, but it's getting better every year. So for me, it was great to be able to ride a perfect park everyday!
Real quick: gotta ask the Iceland question… ha. What the hell's up with the "Elves" homie?
[Laughs] Yeah, we have a lot of those. Many Icelanders have Elves as there pets!
How long have you known/been riding with the Helgason bros? What's it like to be on the same film program with them this season?
We grew up riding together, so it's been a long time. We did our own movies back in the day, so it's always been about filming video parts for us. We've been doing a few trips together every season, but this year [it's been] almost every trip. It's really nice to be able to be on the same filming program, because its just like the good old times.
You're stuck on a deserted island. Pick your one companion, one food, one book, one animal friend, and your plan for rescue.
My girlfriend, of course… Dried Icelandic fish, The Book Of Surviving, Keiko [the killer whale from Free Willy], and surfing on Keiko to the next land.
Damn, that's a good answer. So you're one of the few pros to rock the helmet in their rail parts. What's the reason behind it? Anyone ever give you shit for it?
Many concussions and memory losses throughout the years is the reason. And of course people give me shit for it [laughs]! But I don't care; I do my snowboarding for my own pleasure and I don't like getting my head all messed up over and over again!
A lot of European or Canadian pros struggle with the "marketable" BS here in the States. What's your response to that whole ordeal?
I don't really know… I don't think so much about that BS [laughs].
[Laughs] Fair enough. Ever been pressured to change or adopt a new name? What's the weirdest "US Market" request you've ever had?
Never been pressured, really, but people have asked me how my name "works" in the snowboarding scene. I guess it would have been better to have a more common name? It's probably pretty hard to remember [the full name], but "Gulli" it is. And always will be [laughs]!
Yeah, there's no way in hell I can pronounce the full thing. But how important is it still for European riders to break into the US riding life? What's the biggest difference in the two snowboard scenes, to you?
I think it's important—especially if you wanna get on the big filming crews. About the differences, not that I know it for sure, but in the way I think it is, the Americans don't really follow what's happening in the European snowboarding scene. But I'm not saying that's wrong! They have enough to follow in the American scene, of course. [Laughs] But the Europeans follow the American snowboard scene a lot; so for us Euros, it's always a good step up to be a name in the States, as well.
Top five bands/songs to ride to, let's hear it:
AC/DC: "Let There Be Rock"
Black Sabbath: "Paranoid"
Megadeth: "Hangar 18"
Megadeth: "Dread And Fugitive Mind"
Satan: "Kiss Of Death"
UFO: "Rock Bottom"
If you had a pro model, would you name it the "Gullwing" or the "Good Man"?
[Laughs] I would go for "Good Man".
Favorite place to party and shred in the US and Europe?
Well, I'm on my way to the US for the second time right now, so I haven't really experienced the party and the shred places there yet. For a European party place, go to Reykjavík, and for riding it's Kläppen Snowpark (Sälens Snowboard School's resort).
Last question: what do you Icelandic kids do when it's 24 hours of light, anyway? 24 party people status?
[Laughs] Sometimes, yes! I like it—it's a different feeling from anywhere else, walking home from the bar in complete daylight. It's nice, but it sucks trying to fall asleep though… Also, it's super fun to stay out late and skateboard all night.
Thank yous? Shout outs?
My girlfriend Helga Bergrún, my parents, friends, and sponsors!

The gateway project has suffered from time — and cost — delays involved with problems associated with securing a contractor in the competitive bid process.
Phase 2 of the project, at an estimated cost of $498,000, is for an ADA-accessible decorative walkway in pocket Entryway Park at Sunset Cliffs and West Point Loma boulevards.
Mark Nassar, the city's public works director, in a recent email said Sea Pac Engineering, an L.A.-based firm with San Diego experience on naval and Camp Pendleton projects, is being considered as contractor for the job.
The construction job is expected to take 45 working days to complete, sometime in late June, from the date of the contract award.
Founded in 1993, the OBCDC is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the vibrancy of Ocean Beach and has been instrumental in completing numerous projects enhancing the beach community's unique character.

I'm looking for a good form to make weekly menu planning easier. Anyone seen one?
I'm looking for a good form to make weekly menu planning easier. Anyone seen one?
This website has a great one I use for my kids all the time. They even help me with it. Its under Get Kids involved, with the activity pages.
well can i get some advice for my little girl she eats to much junk food
I agree! With this my kids don't get to choose IF they eat a fruit or vegetable, but they do get to choose WHICH fruit or vegetable they will eat. It helps get them to eat right because they feel they have some control.
For meal planning, www.mealsmatter.org, is a great site. You can create a weekly meal plan that can be copied for a later week and also make a shopping list of foods you need. Good luck!
There is a free Meal Planner on www.mealsmatter.org that allows you to enter your own meals or recipes from the website. You can even take your recipes and have the ingredients automatically entered into a shopping list. Using the planning tools helps me see if I am providing balanced meals each day.

Cleansing is such a pain in the butt – maybe some of you enjoy it. Because I use things like primers, super waterproof mascaras and creamy blushers, I need something that will take it off! take it all off!
I was introduced to cleansing oils by Shu Uemura. The first time I ever had it tested on my hand, I remember thinking YUK! I'm not putting oil on my skin! Alas, my friend on the counter gave me some samples and I was in lurve.
There are so many brands and types to choose from these days – I must have tried about 15 (full sized bottles too) but here are some my fuzzy brain can remember.
A good cleansing oil should..
- not cause any allergies
- not too thick not to liquid
- remove make up well
- not leave a residue
- leave skin feeling soft, not dry!
The correct way to use cleansing oil is to apply it so completely dry skin, massage over areas of your face including lips, then add some water to watch the oil turn into a white creamy milk, then rinse off. Most cleansing oils contains a high percentage of emulsifiers which enables you to rinse off the cleansing oil easily with water.
Cleansing oils are pretty powerful cleansers and its not rare to experience dryness – I certainly did, and when your skin feels this way, it will add its own oils to compensate = dryness. Emulsifiers make cleansing oil easy to rinse off with water, they can also cause irritations in more sensitive skin – as you will see shortly with my reviews, using cleansing oils hasn't always left me without allergies.
Double cleansing helps – that is using something like cleansing oil first to remove make up then using a cream cleanser or foam helps get the skin really clean.
Even !
My most recent purchase:
At around £8 its a bargain for 250ml.
By the name of the product, you can guess that this is a heavy duty cleanser, designed to get rid of all eye and lip make up too. It certainly did that – just a quick rub and all the make up came off easily.
There is a very light scent – I can't quite place it but its almost orangey but its not horrid. It has a liquidy texture that makes it a bit fiddly to apply, but it does really take everything off.
The thing is though – I tested this the other day and my skin has been looking very peachy lately and the day after I have three spots – the kind I get when I find a product is too harsh (hello Clinique). The only other thing I tried is Clinique Turnaround Cream…so either product could have caused the out break. Like a sorry boyfriend, I will give this one another chance.
Verdict? 7/10
Shu Uemura's cleansing oils could be called the oldest. My favourite, the Green Tea:
I have used a full size of the Normal Oil (for normal, combo skin):
Rich (for dry skins):
My fav is the Green Tea flavour which is for all skin types because it has a refreshing floral scent, and feels great on the skin. I am not entirely allergy free when I use this product – I have had my troubles with it when my skin as been very sensitive. It also costs a bomb as it is a premium cleansing oil (Shu have since released two other premium oils, brightening and A/I). This costs around £42 in the UK.
They say: Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O #1 selling shu uemura Cleansing Oil in the world. A premium, anti-aging and anti-oxidant skin purifier that thoroughly cleanses the skin while protecting it against the internal and external aggressions associated with aging.
Verdict: 7/10
The normal smells like medicine – I hated it at first but grew to really like it. The lightest texture of the three I tried, it did its job without any pretentions – I like it but I didn't like it as much as green tea – since GT is about £4 more it doesn't make sense to buy a big vat of this and not be overwhelmed by it. I recommend this if you have balanced skin – but I'd say pay a bit more and get the green tea.
They say:
High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil A calming and soothing skin purifier that gently dissolves all makeup and impurities while respecting skin's integral balance. Suitable for all skin types. A shu uemura signature.
Verdict: 6/10
The rich smells of oranges – I have always found my face itching after using this even though I thought it would suit my face in the winter when its dry. The oil is thick and there is something about this one that irritates my skin and leaves little itchy marks. Maybe it would work for those with very dry skin?
They Say:
High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Enriched A rich, radiance-enhancing skin purifier that removes all types of makeup and impurities while respecting skin's integral balance. Suitable for dry skin or skin in dry climates.
Verdict: 4/10
There is also a light for those with oily skin.
Fancl…hmmm. This is a thickish cleansing oil but I never did love it because it smells like chip fat to me. So I hated slathering it on my skin and I finished it as quickly as a possibly could. If you are allergic to fragrance than this is great, but if you loved chips as a child you may want to avoid as it may push you to going out and buying a portion yourself.
Cleansed – ok – not as well as the Shu. I don't rememeber getting any itchies from it, but my skin still felt a tad dry afterwards. It was around £12.
Verdict: 5/10
Then there was DHC:
One of the first oils, I think, and a good, sure bet for those starting out. Not too expensive, definitely does its job. It made my skin a little dry though but I am guessing it would work for those who err on the oily side. It comes it a standard sized pump bottle….its really not that interesting. But this ones like Matt Damon – he's good and stable, but a bit ugly.
Visual Guide from DHC:
Finally –
RMK Cleansing Oil.
This one is quite a thick, creamy texture and very lightly scented – almost citrusy but its faint.
This is a great cleansing oil. Its thick but turns in to cream nicely and cleans off all the make up in one go. It hasnt given me any itchies and it does leave my skin soft which rare after a cleansing oil. It doesn't sting my eyes either.
However it is pricey. £22 for 175ml. Its probably the most expensive oil tested here (more than Shu it you work it out by cost per ML.)
It doesn't feel right to use this one on it own. I use it followed by Nars Foaming Cleanser (although I may buy the RMK Cream Cleanser to go with this in the future – this is the step they use in the RMK facial).
Verdict: 9/10
Best Cleanser: RMK!
Best Value: HIPDITCH!
Best for Frying: FANCL!
Alternative Cleansers if you don't like oils:
- Cleansing Cream/Milk/Lotion
- Cleansing Gel
- Cleansing Foam
- Bar Soap (Like Clinique/Nars….hello, I had one of these, where did it go?!)

There's a change afoot with the new Monroney label, aka a car's window sticker, for the 2013 model year. The aim of the revamped label, which is created jointly by the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, is to make the information more clear for car shoppers and to provide more effective ways to compare the fuel economy and its associated costs of multiple cars. Let's take a look at the specifics of the new label.
Continue Reading Below
Miles per gallon. For gasoline-powered cars, the new car window stickers put the combined fuel economy number measured in miles per gallon in large type, minimizing both the city and highway mpg numbers that were previously very prominent. The switch in emphasis is an effort to help consumers set more realistic expectations on what fuel economy to expect.
For pure electric cars, the combined fuel economy number is also the most prominent, with the city and highway numbers secondary. These are mpge ratings, or "miles per gallon equivalent," so car buyers can easily compare an electric car to its gasoline counterpart regarding fuel economy. For plug-in hybrids, which have an electric-only mode as well as use gasoline, the label has mpg and mpge data.
Gallons per 100 miles. The mpg rating can be misleading for consumers trying to compare fuel economy on multiple vehicles. Many shoppers mistakenly believe that choosing a 16-mpg car over a 15-mpg car has the same fuel economy benefit as choosing a 36-mpg car over a 35-mpg one. In fact, the lower the overall fuel economy, the bigger the difference that 1 mpg makes.
By knowing that a car will use 3.8 gallons of fuel to drive 100 miles, it becomes much easier for a consumer to translate that into a real trip they might take and the actual cost of the fuel to get there, based on local gas prices. For electric cars and plug-in hybrids, the label provides a figure for the number of kilowatt hours it takes to travel 100 miles.
Fuel cost. While the annual fuel cost isn't new to the car window sticker, what is new is the additional information that shows the fuel cost of this particular car over five years as compared to the average new vehicle. This area of the label is the same for gasoline cars, plug-in hybrids and electric cars. For cars that will cost more in fuel than the average car, the window sticker says, "You will spend $XXX," with the figure noting the additional amount you will spend over the fuel costs of the average car, not the total amount to operate the car. For cars whose fuel costs are less than the average car, the label says, "You will save $XXX."
Overall ratings. To provide a clearer picture of the car's fuel economy and environmental friendliness overall, there are ratings on a scale of one to 10 for each of these areas. These ratings will be particularly helpful for consumers who are comparison-shopping multiple types of vehicles, such as a crossover and a sedan, or a sedan and an electric car, since it is between different types of cars that this varies most widely.
QR code. Smartphone users now have a way to easily obtain additional information while standing on the dealer's lot, with the QR code that is now on every window sticker.
"QR" stands for quick response. Perhaps most helpful is that this code allows shoppers to instantaneously customize the information for their situation, for example, more accurate fuel economy estimates based on their driving habits or more accurate fuel cost estimates based on the gasoline prices in their area.

Goa, a popular destination for tourists from all over the world is one of the most accommodating destinations for holiday-makers. Alien cuisines & cultures have become easily palatable to the locals and somewhere the old world charm of this fantastic state seems to be getting lost in the stereo typical methods of entertainment for tourists. In such a time itâs crucial for some to take on the onus of reviving and sustaining what is left of the inherited charming architecture & culture.
Having lived in many parts of the country, Bennita and Ganesh went through a 3 year ordeal to restore a 120 year old colonial mansion to make it their home in Goa. Coming back to their roots and seeing a satisfying end result, they recently decided to open up their house to share their wonderful lifestyle with people from all over the world. Avid travellers themselves, they are sensitive to the subtle needs of people who come to their house giving them an opportunity to explore on their own along with a feeling of being well taken care of.
The bright yellow house stands vividly in the backdrop of one of the lakes of the Curtorim village. The large portico and the wide airy rooms are aesthetically done in the colours of the rainbow, after an innocuous declaration by their daughter â calling the house âa rainbow cityâ. The colour themed rooms blend in perfectly together. The wide courtyard of the house and the hammocks outside call for lazing in or catching up on a good book. Three large collages in the living room are what catch the eye when one enters the house. These are made of the photographs of the progress of the house and tell the whole saga of transformation from a wrecked mansion to its new avatar, keeping intact the essence of the architecture with recycling most of the parts of the old structure. Pets - Well behaved and controllable pets are welcome to holiday with their owners. In-fact they will find ample place to run around freely in the 1.5 acre area. Children - With two young daughters in the house, Benny and Ganesh would be delighted to have other children come and experience the life in a village and get up close to the nature.

This was the best homestay in south India. The location was very serene. The owners were extremely hospitable. They gave us great information about the local area and beyond. The house both inside and out is an array of delightful colours.

The term "record-setting" doesn't do our final total justice, nor does incredible, amazing, generous, or overwhelming. In 2012, Child's Play Charity raised $5,085,761 for children across the globe.
From our own events to a record number of community-run fundraisers (many of which were featured on our new website calendar), we as a group were able to raise an astonishing amount to benefit kids in hospitals, clinics, and domestic violence shelters worldwide. But each and every one of these events requires thousands of volunteers, organizers, and participants, each pouring in late hour after late hour, weekend after weekend, to make these events work.
Child's Play is fortunate to have this amazing community of generous, engaged individuals who are deeply passionate for the cause. It quite literally would be nothing without your amazing support. From individual donations and wishlist purchases to filling out donation-matching paperwork to even watching and cheering on a marathon, every effort makes a difference.
In addition, we'd like to recognize some huge efforts from the community this year. There were a few individual donors. We know you don't want the spotlight, but please know we appreciate your support deeply. We'll leave it at that. We also want to call out the Humble Bundle team, as being involved with them has been a, well, humbling experience. The support that stems from these bundles makes a profound impact on the work we do.
The 6th Desert Bus for Hope marathon from Loading Ready Run, in addition to all of the other incredible marathons that were run this year like Mario Marathon, Zeldathon, and many many others, were not only a blast to watch, but the fundraising achieved through them was record-breaking on its own. Every dollar is earned through a monumental amount of work organizing the technology, auctions, giveaways and call-ins. Their hard work illustrates how great our community is - passionate, generous individuals working with gamers to accomplish an incredible goal.
We are overwhelmed, honored, grateful, and incredibly proud to be a part of such an amazing community of generous gamers. Thank you for a record-breaking 2012!
