Aircraft control cables were developed to meet the need for lightweight, strong and flexible cable to reliably control the various functions of an aircraft. A manufacturer listed on the U.S. Government Qualified Products List (QPL) for the specification produces the cable to conform to military specification MIL-DTL-83420 (formerly MIL-W-83420). Because of the rigid, well-defined specifications governing the production of the cable, many industrial and commercial users have adopted this as their standard even for non-aircraft applications. The one characteristic that separates aircraft cable from non-aircraft cable is its high fatigue resistance. Each lot of aircraft cable must pass a rigorous fatigue resistance test. LOCKCLAD AIRCRAFT CONTROL CABLES There is also a very specialized form of aircraft control cable known as lockclad. Lockclad control cable consists of aircraft cable conforming to MIL-DTL-83420 over which is swaged an aluminum tube of proper thickness and length. This combination provides several advantages. 1) It lowers the creep stretch. 2) The smooth cylindrical surface provides for closer sealing through pressure walls. 3) It dampens the vibration of the cable. 4) It provides a higher coefficient of thermal expansion. The swaged tubing compacts the cable, resulting in an increase in the AE value which minimizes undesirable stretch characteristics caused by load application. This combination also provides a coefficient of expansion that more nearly synchronizes thermal expansion and contraction of control cables to the airframe of the plane, and this effects a noticeable improvement in sensitivity of control. The aluminum tubing is swaged only to straight runs of control assemblies. Those sections passing around pulleys must be left bare. For this reason, no increase in strength over the bare cable is obtained by the use of Lockclad. Bergen Cable Technology, Inc. is only one of two companies in the world that has been approved by the U.S. Government to manufacture lockclad cables according to MIL-DTL-87218.

Internode gets aggressive on greenfield estates
Rolls fibre head to head with NBN
Adelaide based ISP Internode has launched Fibre to the Home offerings to greenfield housing estates across 20 real estate developments around Australia that compete on all levels with NBN Co services.
The ISP, currently under acquisition by iiNet, is offering fibre optic-based services at all NBN sites in Australia and delivering Fibre to the Home services at real estate developments in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and SA, through partnerships with wholesale providers OptiComm and OPENetworks.
Prices start at $AU49.95 for a 12/1 Mbps plan with a 30GB data quota.
"As well as more competitive prices, we've launched the new 12/1 Mbps level speed for Fibre to the Home customers and are delivering faster upload speeds with the standard services. We've also introduced the optional Power Packs and Business Packs so customers can tailor their Fibre service to their particular needs," said Internode product manager Jim Kellett.
Internode's previous fibre plans have been 'grandfathered', meaning they are being phased out for new clients but operational for existing customers but are no longer available for purchase. ®

By Patricia Daddona
PBN Staff Writer
Lilly Dick is the president of the Newport Tree Society. She is also co-owner of Belgravia Imports, which imports organic and natural foods. A former Newport city councilor, she founded the Newport Gas Light program and served as chairwoman of the Washington Square Advisory Commission for the restoration of Washington Square. Here she describes the mission of the nonprofit Newport Tree Society and its plans for growth.
PBN: The Newport Tree Society's website call for supporters to "plant an urban forest." What exactly does this charge mean today?
DICK: Cities across the globe are responding aggressively to severe tree canopy losses suffered over the last century, and many are asking citizens to become directly involved in extensive replanting efforts.
The Newport Arboretum initiative takes this important idea of citizen-centered urban forest renewal and raises it to the next level. In Newport, citywide replanting will happen on both public and private land, and it will be guided by ambitious strategic objectives that go well beyond the typical goal of canopy expansion or number of trees planted. We're asking citizen foresters to not only replant an ailing urban forest — but to help us create a citywide arboretum of unparalleled scope and diversity.
During the Gilded Age, our predecessors planted for the thrill of experiencing for the first time the full range of flora the natural world had to offer. Today, our goal is to bring to life Newport's singular history as a center for exploratory horticulture and landscape architecture through successful partnerships with the institutions and private property owners who hold Newport's horticultural legacy in their hands.
Together we will celebrate Newport's singular heritage by planting rare and exotic trees and restoring historic landscapes and plantings. Volunteers will also contribute to the global effort to increase the genetic stock of endangered species, and we will work together to restore remaining areas of natural forest that have the potential to be rich ecosystems and self-sustaining reservoirs of life. Finally, we are working to increase our forest's overall health and resiliency in the face of impending climate change and invasive pests that have decimated American forests over the past decade.
PBN: How many members and supporters does the Society have and what are your plans for future growth not only of membership but as an organization?
DICK: We have more than 150 active 'Friends of the Newport Arboretum,' and that number is growing rapidly due to our new awareness campaign, "Beyond Legend." In addition, hundreds of Newporters attend Newport Arboretum Week educational events each year.
Since its inception, the Newport Tree Society has operated as a lean organization that achieved its mandate with minimum operating and overhead costs. However, it has become plainly evident that we must leverage the experience of our board of directors and advisers to a much greater extent than we have in the past if we are to properly protect our urban forest. Encouraging and directing the participation of citizens across the city in planting and maintaining our city's forest, which resides largely on private property, necessitates a greater investment in operational infrastructure.
In 2013, the Newport Tree Society conducted its first-ever comprehensive strategic planning effort through the support of the Alletta Morris McBean Foundation and the van Beuren Charitable Foundation. Both foundations have recently followed this crucial planning support with an additional $200,000 in operating grants toward staff salaries, office space and utilities, and other related expenses.
The society's strategic plan envisions a complement of programs anchored by a citywide arboretum that convey an understanding of the historical context of our urban arboretum, the impact of a healthy tree canopy on the overall health of our community, and the vital importance of continuous cycles of planting on both public and private property. From the establishment of the Children's Arboretum at the Pell School, to the Student Propagators Program at the University of Rhode Island, to the creation of an interactive citywide tree map, all of the programs that have emerged from our recent planning process will also be designed to meet the shared objectives of multiple organizations across the city and state. All efforts have been focused toward a far-reaching vision of Newport's urban forest, positioning us for a serious effort to build our capacity to carry out our mission over the long term.
PBN: Brian Maynard, chairman of the University of Rhode Island's Plant Sciences Department and Newport Arboretum special adviser, launched a student specimen plant propagation program for the Newport Arboretum this spring. How's that going?
DICK: Truly unusual specimen tree varieties cannot be directly sourced from large professional nurseries. Seeds and cuttings must be gathered from other arboreta, plant collecting organizations and niche specialty growers and carefully nurtured over multiple growing seasons until they are ready for planting. This difficult and labor-intensive process is understandably impossible for the average municipal forestry department.
Brian Maynard met this spring with members of The Newport Arboretum Living Collections Committee to begin the development of a list of special trees that students at URI will propagate from slips (or cuttings) and small immature specimens.
Some of the species targeted to be grown on by students for The Newport Arboretum include the Quercus glandulifera (Konara Oak), a small, elegant tree with apple green leaves, native to Asia, and the Quercus lyrata (Overcup Oak), a white oak native to the wet lowlands of the southeastern U.S.
Many of these specimens will be sourced from a nonprofit, Forestfarm, located in the Oregon nature preserve Pacifica: A Garden in the Siskiyous. Some seedlings destined for planting in Newport have already been planted at URI's East Farm, home to the university's Plant Science Center.
An important initial goal for the Newport Arboretum Propagators Program is the creation of a system to smoothly and efficiently engage potential propagators, large and small, and provide them with the knowledge and guidance they need to become long-term growing partners for the arboretum.
PBN: Who came up with the interactive tree map and what is the value of this type of inventory?
DICK: The current online interactive tree map found at newportarboretum.org was created using the Google Map API coupled with a Google Fusion Table. Fusion table data was populated from recent citywide public (street and park) tree surveys conducted by Davey Trees, Inc. Professional surveys and inventories are crucial to better understanding our forest and how best to care for it over the long term.
This is also a wonderful resource because it allows citizens and visitors to explore our city's tree collection at their leisure, learning more about species that they may want to plant in their own backyards.
Our ultimate goal is to implement a more sophisticated collaborative online tree map such as opentreemap from Azavea Software. This type of mapping tool and sophisticated public interface will further blur the line (which should essentially be non-existent) between public and private trees. It will allow anyone to map a tree growing anywhere in the city – or to add new data to existing mapped trees.
PBN: How is the partnership with the Newport division of Forestry going to lengthen the lifespan of some of the beech and elm specimen trees? Are there any quantifiable results?
DICK: Our Beech & Elm Treatment program, begun in 2011, has been modified to currently include only protective treatments for key elms. The efficacy of preventative elm tree treatments has been proven over time; elm protection efforts will preserve these grand trees for as long as we can sustain funding.
Current treatments available for European beeches, on the other hand, have not proven to successfully halt or slow the progression of root disease. This is heartbreaking news as we continue to witness the steady, ongoing decimation of our Gilded Age-era collection of massive specimen European Beech trees.
We will continue to direct treatment efforts to those trees that can reap the highest benefits from treatment. When Emerald Ash Borer reaches our region, for example, we are prepared to launch a proactive management program that has proven effective at saving ash trees. The Newport Tree Society has a long and valued partnership with Newport's division of Forestry.

Can Phoenix Find a Way Out of its Pension Mess?
Some police and firefighters are getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in pension payouts, draining the city's finances and helping to shrink the public-safety workforce. Pension benefits need to be tied to contributions.
Illinois may have the nation's most underfunded state pension system, but few jurisdictions are doing more to invite public-pension Armageddon than the city of Phoenix. The mess in Arizona's largest city highlights just how bad things can get when loopholes and bad policy all but eliminate the nexus between how much employees pay in and the pension benefits they end up receiving.
Arizona law prohibits public employees from using "unused sick leave, payment in lieu of vacation, payment for unused compensatory time or payment for any fringe benefit" to "spike" the final compensation on which their retirement benefits are calculated. But Phoenix police and fire contracts get around those prohibitions by allowing police officers and firefighters to receive extra monthly pay in lieu of accrued sick or vacation leave.
This column appears in our monthly Better, Faster, Cheaper email newsletter. Click to subscribe.
And as they say on those late-night television ads, "Wait, there's more!" Phoenix also allows bonuses, compensation for emergency shifts, and vehicle and cellphone allowances to be counted as salary for purposes of calculating pension benefits.
State legislators have done their part to contribute to this perfect storm of pension dysfunction. A Deferred Retirement Option Plan passed in 2001 allows police and firefighters to keep working for as long five years after they "retire." During that time, their pension benefit is deposited in a savings account. For years, the guaranteed annual interest was over 8 percent until the legislature cut it to 4.4 percent in 2011. (Anyone hired after January 1, 2012, is no longer eligible for the plan).
When those who retire under the deferred retirement option stop working, they receive accrued principal and interest in a lump-sum payment in addition to beginning to collect their regular pension benefits. So far, 10 public-safety retirees have collected lump sums greater than $700,000; each also receives an annual pension benefit of more than $114,000. Another 650 retired police and firefighters have collected lump sums of more than $250,000.
There is strong support for providing police officers and firefighters with more-generous retirement benefits than other retirees get due to the nature of their service. But at $59,341, the average annual Phoenix public-safety pension is more than twice the non-public-safety average for the city's retirees.
As you would imagine, all of this has taken its toll on the city budget. A decade ago, Phoenix budgeted $7.2 million for public-safety pensions; in 2013, the number is $109 million. Retirement costs are also one of the reasons why the police and fire departments have shrunk. In 2008, Phoenix had 3,375 police and 1,671 firefighters; by 2012, staffing had fallen to 3,021 and 1,578, respectively.
The latest twist came last week when the Goldwater Institute, a conservative public-policy think tank based in Phoenix, threatened to sue the city, claiming that allowing public-safety personnel to use fringe benefits to spike their pensions violates state law. It's no idle threat. A judgment declaring the practice illegal would unleash the ultimate political and fiscal nightmare by requiring the city to seek refunds from public-safety retirees, although the city might not have to recoup overpayments if it were to voluntarily change the policy.
The almost-infinite potential for gaming traditional public pensions highlights the need for a system that ties pension benefits to contributions. Defined-contribution and cash-balance plans are two ways to do that. Under defined-contribution, employers contribute a set amount toward employees' retirement. Cash-balance plans guarantee an annual interest rate on employee contributions and the employer's match.
Both could be tweaked to provide public-safety workers with enhanced pension benefits -- defined-contribution plans by hiking the employer match and cash-balance plans by guaranteeing the employees a higher annual interest rate. And it would be a lot more sustainable than continuing Phoenix's current practice of creating pension millionaires.

Comment Chromebook Pixel (Score 1) 133
This device looks great, with the sweet screen, that means there is a need for a decent CPU + GPU combination, also hopefully it means that this device will support more, and hopefully higher speed memory. Up to 8 gigs of Ram, a great touch-enabled screen, a moderately powerful CPU + GPU, an SSD, backlit keyboard, and very stylish look and size, sign me up! If Google can squeeze some good battery life out of this machine, between 4-6 hours, this product will be a slam dunk. Everyone arguing about ChromeOS, who cares? If you don't like ChromeOS, load something else. If you are not a technical person and do not like ChromeOS, look for something else. Google is hardly struggling, but this flagship device looks great. Personally, I love Android, it's a great mobile operating system, and if blending ChromeOS with Android brings more functionality I am all for it. I am a Fedora fan on laptops, and would likely dual boot Fedora on this machine, but if I could get all my developer tools to run in ChromeOS, I could see myself just running ChromeOS.

Who else can relate to this great story about Halloween from Jerry Seinfeld? I remember it being cold and rainy or snowy, having to wear a coat over my costume. But it was all worth getting the free candy. Really, all I cared about was the candy. My kids are now the same way. I really could just go buy them candy from the store, but for some reason, begging for it at the neighbors house and getting it for free is a lot more fun.
What Halloween memories do you have?

Big Summer Ahead for Sean Williams
By Matthew McQueeny, NJNets.com April 29, 2008
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- If anything, Sean Williams learned one thing from his first season in the NBA:
Patience is a virtue, said the baritone-voiced 21 year-old.
Williams like the Nets had a rollercoaster of a season. In his ascendant moments, he showed an athleticism and instinct nonpareil. In his completely mortal moments, he exhibited all the traits of a young player out of sorts with schemes and assignments.
Then again, that can be the story for most high-upside first-year pros.
Said Nets President Rod Thorn, Seans year was like a lot of rookies: he had some early success, fell back a little, and then had some more success around the all-star break. Then after the all-star break did not have much success so I think he played more games this year than he has every played by far. Im sure he got a little tired as the season wore on. I heard him saying several times that his legs felt heavy. I think hes another player that needs some strength, but hes a guy who showed at three or four different periods of the season that he could be a player that could be a helpful player. Its a big summer for him with summer league, other work hell be doing this summer. Athletically, hes certainly in the top 10 percent of the league athletically and has an upside and its up to us and to him to make sure that he does what he needs to do in order to get better.
Williams, who only started playing organized basketball in the summer before his senior year in high school, played 69 total games in three college seasons at Boston College. In his rookie season with New Jersey, he played in 73 contests. He finished the year with averages of 5.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 17.5 minutes a game.
He did, however, start 29 games, including a stretch from late December to early February in which he started 24 of 25 games. In that stretch he had slightly better averages of 7.5 points on 50 percent shooting, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks.
While consistency was an issue, it was his moments of unparalleled explosion that had those who watched seeing the future. Against the Kings on December 18th, he had 11 points, eight blocks, and seven rebounds; on November 17th against the Heat he had 22 points and eight rebounds; against the Wizards on December 28th his line was 14 points, 10 rebounds, and five blocks; and at the Clippers on January 19th the rookie notched 11 points, 11 rebounds, and six blocks. In all, he had 14 double-digit scoring efforts, four double-digit rebounding efforts, and blocked 106 shots, making him only the third rookie in team history to reach the century mark in swats (Kenyon Martin, Mike Gminski).
Now that he knows what it is like to go through an entire NBA season, Williams looks to build this summer and come back better next season.
I take that I have a lot to work on and its going to be a long hot summer in that gym and Im going to love it. Theres a lot of motivation not making the playoffs. We went into the year with a lot of expectations and for us not to make the playoffs; it just shows how much work we have for this team and for me.
Outside of summer league, a few trips back up to New Jersey and a quick summer vacation with his girlfriend, Sean will be mostly in Houston in the gym working with John Lucas.
Specifically I want to work at my aggressiveness on the boards and just knowledge of the game. Every time I play I learn something about the game. I just want to keep playing so I can learn and get better at the game. Im still young at this game and I feel my ceiling is very high. I still cant even touch it with as much height as I have.
Outside of being late once for a shoot around, magnified because it was before the Nets first preseason game of the season, Williams was noted for being a stand up citizen and teammate this year. According to him, there is still much to learn though.
I definitely did get a lot out of this year. There are a lot of things that I want to work on for next year outside of basketball - from a professionalism standpoint - like being on time. Im on time but Im on time.
You have to be early, not on time.
He will look to carry those professional lessons into his sophomore season in the NBA, because he certainly has all the physical assets he needs.
For me next year is really I feel about establishing myself. Im not going to be a rookie anymore so you cant fall back on that. Im going to have to come in and be a pro.

I made this map some time ago with the help of Ed Knittel who made the CTA/Chicago equivalent. With the recent opening of the southeast light rail line, I took the opportunity to ride for free on the trains last Saturday. I took my GPS along and recorded the locations of each station along the routes. 75,000 people rode the LRT that day, breaking the Denver record in spite of not running at full schedule. I can attest that there were more than a few trains crammed full of people, especially if you (gasp) had to transfer at I-25/Broadway Station. That's currently the only station with three tracks, one for northbound trains, and one each for the southwest and southeast lines. Anyway, the map I made allows you to cross-reference station locations with nearby things to do/eat/see/etc, and overlays that on Google Maps. Pretty cool. I guess a lot can happen between now and 2015 when the remainder of the rail network is due to be finished, but it'd be nice to add those lines then, if I'm still around. The renovated/expanded Denver Union Station & surrounding neighborhood will be completed in 2009-2010. Here's some eyecandy pictures. Things will look very different in 4 years or so.

Last week I attended a press conference at police headquarters. I was there to learn about the cops accusing the city of crying poverty when the city is allegedly better off than many cities. If you want to learn the definitive truth about how much, and where the money is, stop reading now. I don't have a clue. I listened to Peter Donohue, PhD in economics and expert in government finances, hired by the cops, give a report that Chula Vista has general fund balances of $33.5 million. Donohue said the city has tons of money in reserve. Even though the city faces deficits, the deficits aren't enough to lay off cops, or enough to warrant the city demanding the monetary concessions that are being asked for to avoid police 'laayoffs. I've been around enough to know that employees constantly accuse government agencies of hiding money in various accounts, a practice the agencies vehemently deny. If I would ever believe the results of an audit, said audit would have to be 1) done by only one company 2) with the approval of both parties and 3) the audit would have to be financed equally by both sides. While not accusing Dr. Donahue of anything untoward, I have seen "studies" bought and paid for. There was one reporter there who seemed to have a slight chip on his shoulder. I knew he was a newspaperman because I could tell he had either tomato soup or spaghetti for lunch. He was wearing some of it on his light-colored jacket. Also, he had coffee stains on his trousers. I may not be an economist or much of a newspaperman, but I'm a helluva detective. I later learned he is an editorial writer for a local daily. I hung back and listened to him pepper police association president Fred Rowbotham with questions. The newsman wasn't buying what Rowbotham had to say. You could tell by the doubting smirk he displayed after the president's answers. I wondered what would come of the interview. I learned the newsman's position when I read my Christmas Eve paper. Even after Rowbotham explained that the city wouldn't agree to an informal discussion, the writer wrote that the POA "has refused to even negotiate." He chided the cops for having a public relations campaign to try to get the citizens on their side. He also said the conclusions of the audit "seem preposterous on its face." Granted, a newspaper editorial is an opinion, and not straight news. There is no question where the local daily stands on this issue and it's not on the side of the cops. In yet another attempt to get my questions on this issue resolved, I phoned the city manager's office again. The recorded message said they were closed until Jan. 3. Then, I e-mailed my request to their office in case someone was in there working this week. So far no answer from them. By the time the city manager gets back to work, it'll be layoff time.
No question who the daily paper supports

Steamboat Springs Xcel Energy's application for a controversial rail spur from the Union Pacific mainline to the Hayden Station power plant will go before the Routt County Planning Commission tonight. Xcel's application is the only item on the commission's agenda.
The proposed rail line would extend from the east end of the Carpenter Ranch southeast to the coal-fired Hayden Station. A new overpass would be built to take the line across U.S. Highway 40 about 200 yards west of where the highway crosses the Yampa River. Approximately 10,500 feet of rail would be constructed in addition to an at-grade crossing over Routt County Road 27.
Officials with the Nature Conservancy-owned Carpenter Ranch are against the rail spur, saying it will adversely affect the ecosystem there.
"We're opposed to it," said Geoff Blakeslee, Yampa Valley project director for the Nature Conservancy. "I just think it's an inappropriate structure for this location."
But Xcel Energy officials say this is their only option left for the rail spur, which is four years in the making and intended to provide a reliable source of fuel to Hayden Station in the future. Most of the plant's coal is shipped via trucks from Peabody Energy's Twentymile Coal Mine. Xcel's contract with Twentymile ends in 2011, and Xcel officials hope to use the rail spur to deliver coal from other mines to the west.
The rail line would traverse the ranch on an existing right of way controlled by Xcel. The Routt County Board of Commissioners rejected a previous rail line proposal that would have gone across a conservation easement on the Carpenter Ranch. That easement prevents industrial developments. All other options for the rail line would have to go across private property.
"There are no willing property owners," said Mary Brown, an Xcel lobbyist.
Brown said only one train a day, or five trains a week, would travel the rail line. Regardless of the frequency of train traffic, Blakeslee said the spur and its retaining walls would create a dangerous situation that would funnel wildlife such as elk onto U.S. 40. Xcel officials said they will mitigate that concern with a series of bridges that would allow safe travel for wildlife.
Planning Director Chad Phillips said a total of 40 letters were submitted for public comment regarding the rail spur. Phillips said opinions in the letters are mixed, but that most oppose the project.
Despite opposition, the project is likely to keep moving forward toward a hearing with the Routt County Board of Commissioners at 6 p.m. Sept. 24 because of a statute that requires the application be approved or denied within 90 days of its submittal.
Blakeslee said the Nature Conservancy holds out hope for the project to be revisited.
"I just don't know what the county's going to do," he said. "I think they're in a tough spot. This has been going on for a long time."
If the project is approved, construction of the rail line would begin next summer and be completed in 2011.

- - XXI Winter Olympics!
XXI Winter Olympics! So, anyone have any favorite moments from the past Olympics? America has done AMAZING! I loved that Shaun White won Men's Half Pipe Snowboarding, he's now won half of the half pipe gold's given out.(snowboarding has only been in the Olympics since 1998 ) I was so happy that Evan Lysacheck won the Men's Figure skating! He's worked SO hard for that medal, he really deserved it. And Plushanko is insane................... Anyone else have any other moments? |
I've been loving the Games, the ladies figure skating was wonderful, best I've seen for years Really enjoyed the snowboarding sports, especially the one where there were 4 people on course racing each other!! Congratulations Vancouver on a great Olympics!!! |
Well, as I live in (well, about an hour outside of) Vancouver, I can say the games have been a blast! Downtown Vancouver has been a huge party, and everyone is so excited to be here! I've been down there twice now and it's been a ton of fun! I have about 200 pictures, but none of them are online yet. I love how patriotic everyone is! |
Shaun White is a B.E.A.S.T! His performance was absolutely amazing! He won on his first run! I always love seeing the figure skating. Evan was particularly good that night and totally deserved to win. Plachenko was being a huge baby. Spiteful Russians are no fun ;) Mao Asada and Kim Yu-Na were amazing, too. Joannie Rochette was really good. I feel bad for her that her mom died two days prior to skating but she pulled through it and made her proud. Apollo Ohno is AMAZING. Stormy: You and Shaun is like me and Apollo. :D |
Ohno's name amuses me, and I'm happy I saw him race before retiring. He's a risk taker! I've watched bits and pieces of it here and there, but I'm not a hardcore olympics fan like some people. No horse games! -shrugs- |
Hahahaha Drew, good luck with that! ;) I LOVE watching Ladies skating, only it makes me sad. If you didn't know I skated for 10 years of my life, before quiting to really go strong with my eventing. I miss it SO much, but I wouldn't trade riding for anything! Kim and Moa are both amazing athletes! Both free skates were amazing! I really love Rachel Flatt so much, I really think she'll be a force to be reckoned with in Sochi! |
I haven't really watched much. I just watched some bits and pieces of some of the mens hockey....only cause its the only sport that interests me. lol. Like PaitnsPwn said, I'm not a die hard fan of the Olympics. Go Team Canada (Mens Ice Hockey!) |
I live for the Olympics. Seriously. I love watching them. London 2012 will be a MUCH better year for the horses! |
It really will! Shaun was just over in London, pushing for skateboarding (vert ramp) to become an Olympic sport! I hope it does, it's vert ramp skating and BMX riding is really hard, and what they do is CRAZYYYYYYYY! |
All my family is in Vancouver, my Bro and SIL live there, so my family headed over there to enjoy the festivities in person. And I'm stuck in the U.S - poop. Canada is doing fabulous! I am super proud to be Canadian, we are representing amazingly! Last I checked, we have 13 gold, 7 silver, and 5 bronze. Now I just await for our Canadian hockey team to whoop the U.S in Hockey....again....so nanna nanna boo boo and pthtphtpphtph! GO CANADA! |

You are a;; probably familiar with the SCOPYED Crossbow.
IN 2009 on YOUtube the is a clip of one.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdtU9mflqx.
I found another clip on yuotube with a hunter in a tree stand shooting at any conceivable angle. The bow is light approx 100lb draw and highly manouverable due to it being so short and light. Can be fired from the prone pos.
Does anyone know anything more. I want to build one,
Ive never seen anything like it .

Bears, Cars, Dinosaurs And Punks: Four Movies For Your Consideration
FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm totally lagging on reviewing the following four flicks that were sent to me for such purposes by powerful people who expect that they'll receive timely coverage in return. However, since three of the four movies were already in theaters, I don't feel too bad.
Hey! Tomorrow's Friday! Weekend! Whoop! And since many of you will apparently be housebound with your kids, here are three recent Blu-ray releases and one new theatrical release that may or may not be worth your or your kids' precious time.
Two of this summer's big kiddie flicks, Cars 2 and Winnie The Pooh, are now out on glorious Blu-ray. I managed to miss both when they were in the theaters, and for my sins I'm sure the kids will force me to watch them until my eyes burn out. Both are surprising, in opposite ways. Winnie The Pooh is simply lovely, a true movie for children: coming in at about 60 minutes, it's the perfect length, the hand-drawn animation is warm and comforting, and the way the A.A. Milne story literally comes to life on the screen, with words serving as part of the background, is clever and endearing. Disney proves that there is still a place for traditional animation, and Winnie The Pooh is a classic that can stand proudly next to the studio's most famous offerings.
Cars 2 was a surprise of the unpleasant sort. I still think that the original is, along with Monsters Inc., the least essential of Pixar's movies. But I won't fault its inherent sweetness; less concerned with appealing to grown-ups, Cars was at heart a really nice little movie about the value of friendship and selflessness. Cars 2 is about explosions. Pixar raises the computer animation bar yet again, but the movie - in which Mater (who takes center stage) and Lightning McQueen become involved in a spy caper - is a loud, cynical attempt to snag the 8 to 10 year old boy niche.
For the grown-ups, two very different movies about fatherhood: recently released on Blu-ray, Terrence Mallick's The Tree of Life is visually stunning, wrapping a story about a relationship between a father (Brad Pitt) and his son (played as a kid by Hunter McCracken and an adult by Sean Penn) in amazing, eons-spanning imagery. It's slow, sometimes maddeningly obtuse, and ultimately rewarding.
Some interesting real-life fathers - former punk rockers and guys connected with the punk scene - are the subject of the new documentary The Other F Word. Director Andrea Blaugrund Nevins profiles Pennywise lead singer Jim Lindberg (whose book Punk Rock Dad got a nod of approval from us a few years back), Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea (whose confession that his daughter's birth inspired him to change his rock star ways is the film's most moving sequence), Blink-182's Mark Hoppus, and other famous punker dads. Watching the film reminded me of the times I spent in the mosh pit; if the movie's subjects sometimes seem a bit surprised that they now have kids of their own, well, most of us know the feeling. First previewed at SXSW earlier this year, the film opened in New York yesterday and in Los Angeles tomorrow.

Whew. Bushed. I've taken all my cold-weather clothes out of
vacuum-packed bags and hung them up neatly. I washed all my covers and
clothes. (More than half of my clothes are hand-wash only, but I've
figured out a neat trick for doing those quickly.) I've even
reorganized my drawers, adding canvas-and-masking-tape separators.
I wonder what the calorie burn rate for laundry is, and whether I can
do it fast enough to make it equivalent to cardio training… ;)

Comments about Bitter Apple Taste Deterrent for Dogs:
Works, but like many others said, the product dries very quickly (like alcohol). Once it dries, it's no longer a deterrent. You'd have to spray constantly for several weeks before your cat/dog stops, and the bottle isn't exactly something you'd carry along during a walk (I use it for my puppy's leash).
Best Uses
Comments about Bitter Apple Taste Deterrent for Dogs:
I tied using this to deter my dog from chewing on my shoes. He is only deterred while I am actually spraying. The second I walk out of the front door to go to work, I'm certain he's got a shoe in him mouth. I thought it might be because the shoes have their own scent but it hasn't worked in other areas either, eg. plants, chair, his toy bin.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Other Pets
- - What stupid things does your cat do?
What stupid things does your cat do? I always laugh at mine when he thinks he can touch the fish by reaching around or under a tank, or how hard he slams into walls when playing on the stairs or taking corners too fast on the hardwood floor. Its also momentarily funny how when he poops he has half his body out of the box and his two front paws and one back paw on the doorway, funny till the smell hits you. Funny and annoying how when eating a ham or tuna sandwich his face is nearly pressed against the sandwich and having to swat away his paws. He punched me in the mouth for staring at him once. |
My former cat used to get into the litter box and pee over the side. So I kept buying larger litter boxes only to have her do the same thing each time. She never got it that she was supposed to pee IN the box. I got one of those enclosed boxes that she had to step into but she would not get in - just stood there and cried. She had real issues with crates bc she was somewhat abused before I got her. RIP Calzini. |
One of my cats does the most amazing thing. I can stand in front of him, pat my chest and he will jump up into my arms. I've never had a cat before that would do this. It's simply awesome. The other stupid thing this same cat does it eat paper. I will find the corners of envelopes chewed off, little yellow sticky notes that I had scribbled reminders on gone, magazine corners chewed off, and then the next thing you know I hear my cat violently yakking and out comes a huge wad of paper. He's an odd cat, for sure, but I love him! |
2 Attachment(s) Kymmie, I have a similar issue with my gray cat, Clyde. He loves to chew on plastic bags. He doesn't eat it though...just chews on it. Our other cat, Sixx (actually my daughters cat that she brought with her when she moved back home) has six toes and is quite clumsy. He can't seem to jump up onto my dresser without knocking something over. I think he stumbles over his big "thumbs" as we call them. He is quite a character. Clyde, on the other hand, is a ninja kitty. He can leap up onto the top of a door and balance on it. It's hilarious watching the two of them play. Late at night when everyone's in bed you can hear them thundering up and down the hallway chasing and playing with each other. I think Sixx's most annoying habit is that he is the messiest eater. He leaves dry cat food crumbs all over the floor. The canned cat food he shoves his face into and it gets all over his face and whiskers, then he shakes it all off and it sticks to the walls. When he was a tiny kitten he used to literally sit IN his food bowl and get it all over him. Here's the 2 of them sleeping together. And a pic of Sixx sitting on my QT tank. |
Jeaninel, your two cats in that picture together are adorable! Of my two cats, Ogio (the male) always wants to play with Gunner (the female) but all she does is hiss and spit at him, she wants nothing to do with him at all! Sixx is one gorgeous cat!! |
When we first found Lennox he was a 2 week old kitten... we were living in a house with a friend who owns an 80lb Rottie/Lab named Toby. When Lennox was still tiny, he would literally jump up onto the edge of the dog's dish while the dog was eating, and walk around the rim. Toby could have snapped him up and swallowed him in one gulp. Man i wish we'd taken pictures instead of panicking and rescuing him every time haha. he would also run up to attack Toby, and would turn and hop sideways to make himself appear bigger (when he weighed less than a pound). He still does this to our German Shepherd occasionally. Now he does the typical "try to get the fish through the glass, all day, every day" trick. I've trained him to sit. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../454780296.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../468071560.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/IMG_1343.jpg |
I think Sixx is claiming that tank! I have a cat Zazu who must lay on paper if she sees some.. She cannot help herself.. She also loves to play fetch. If you wad up a small ball of foil she will chase it and bring it back to you to throw again. When its bedtime, she waits until my husband is asleep and snoring then will walk up next to him and start nudging on his hand for him to lift up the cover and let her under the covers to cuddle with him. If the nudging does not wake him, a good meow or 2 in his ear will do the trick. Cats are so cool. Gina |
iamgray, Lennox is adorable. He looks to be so sweet in personality. |
Kymmie, Zazu tends to lay length-wise along his side, so he puts a hand on her and they both snuggle all night.. which is all fine and good until she gets a nightmare and starts to panic and has to get out in a hurry, claws unfurled... that's a pretty rude awakening for the hubby :lol: Gina |

This report describes the typical weather at the Yangon International Airport (Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma)) weather station over the course of an average September. It is based on the historical records from 2000 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
Yangon (Rangoon) has a tropical monsoon climate with short dry season. The area within 25 mi of this station is covered by croplands (85%), oceans and seas (5%), forests (3%), built-up areas (3%), and lakes and rivers (2%).
The month of September is characterized by essentially constant daily high temperatures, with daily highs around 87°F throughout the month, exceeding 92°F or dropping below 82°F only one day in ten.
Over the course of September, the length of the day is essentially constant. The shortest day of the month is September 30 with 11:60 hours of daylight; the longest day is September 1 with 12:27 hours of daylight.
The earliest sunrise is at 5:52am on September 2; the latest sunset is at 6:19pm on September 1; the latest sunrise is at 5:55am on September 30; the earliest sunset is at 5:55pm on September 30.
Daylight savings time (DST) is not observed in 2012.
The median cloud cover ranges from 78% (partly cloudy) to 93% (mostly cloudy). The trend is for the sky to be clearing with the median cloud cover decreasing by 14% from the start to the end of the month.
On September 30, the clearest day of the month, the sky is clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy 36% of the time, and overcast or mostly cloudy 49% of the time.
On September 1, the cloudiest day of the month, the sky is overcast, mostly cloudy, or partly cloudy 86% of the time, and clear or mostly clear 2% of the time.
The probability that precipitation will be observed at this location varies throughout the month. Precipitation is most likely around September 1, occurring in 89% of days. Precipitation is least likely around September 30, occurring in 74% of days.
Throughout September, the most common forms of precipitation are thunderstorms, moderate rain, and light rain.
Thunderstorms are the most severe precipitation observed during 45% of those days with precipitation. They are most likely around September 19, when it is observed during 39% of all days.
Moderate rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 27% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around September 1, when it is observed during 29% of all days.
Light rain is the most severe precipitation observed during 14% of those days with precipitation. It is most likely around September 3, when it is observed during 13% of all days.
Either snow is exceptionally unlikely to fall at this location in September or this station does not reliably report precipitation types.
The relative humidity typically ranges from 70% (mildly humid) to 99% (very humid) over the course of a typical September, rarely dropping below 59% (mildly humid) and reaching as high as 100% (very humid).
The air is driest around September 30, at which time the relative humidity drops below 75% (humid) three days out of four; it is most humid around September 1, rising above 100% (very humid) three days out of four.
Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid.
Over the course of a typical September, the dew point typically varies from 75°F (very muggy) to 80°F (very oppressive) and is rarely below 73°F (very muggy) or above 81°F (very oppressive).

Blue Steller Wins Bay Meadows Derby
At Bay Meadows Sunday, Irish-bred Blue Steller closed from last to win the $100,000 Bay Meadows Derby Handicap by 1 1/2 lengths.
At Bay Meadows Sunday, Irish-bred Blue Steller closed from last to win the $100,000 Bay Meadows Derby Handicap by 1 1/2 lengths.
Stonerside Stable's 3-year-old homebred Congaree earned his first grade I stakes victory in his third attempt, winning Sunday's paceless renewal of the $500,000 Swaps Stakes by four lengths at Hollywood Park.
Six 3-year-olds, including Kentucky Derby veterans Congaree and Jamaican Rum, have been entered for Sunday's $500,000 Swaps Stakes (gr. I) at Hollywood Park.
Carl J. Odegaard's Northern California-based 3-year-old Hoovergetthekeys, winless since taking the El Camino Real Derby (gr. III) in March, will ship to Hollywood Park to face Congaree in the $500,000 Swaps Stakes (gr. I) on July 15.
In a race marred by a spill involving 13-10 favorite Marine, Sir Alfred rallied in the stretch to win Sunday's $100,000 Ascot Handicap (gr. IIIT) by 3/4 lengths over Hoovergetthekeys at Bay Meadows.
With its purse ratcheted up to $500,000, its distance stretched out to 1 1/8 miles, and its date moved to a more convenient spot on the calendar, Lone Star Park's derby became a genuine prep for the famed roseate run in Kentucky. The Grand Prairie, Texas, racetrack even created a $1-million bonus, to be paid to any horse that parlays a Lone Star Derby win into a victory in any of the Triple Crown races. It was a meaningful prep indeed--an ironic one, too. Percy Hope served up generous portions of both meaning and irony. The field, which included four stakes winners, had earned $1.2 million, or an average of $154,429 per starter, more than twice as much as the field for the grade II Illinois Derby. And Percy Hope, who previously had won the Rushaway Stakes at Turfway Park, once again made winning look easy.
Hoovergetthekeys is the 9-5 morning line favorite in Saturday's $500,000 Lone Star Derby, the richest race in Texas. Eight horses have entered the race that offers a $1 million bonus if the winner goes on to capture any one of the Triple Crown races.
In this analysis, we're going to add Thoro-Graph speed figure patterns on occasion to see, from that perspective, just who is likely to come into the Derby sitting on a peak performance. Thoro-Graph's Jerry Brown stated emphatically that this is "by far the best 3-year-old crop in history." Brown added, "The numbers so far have been insane, and it's probably going to take around a 2 1/2 to win the Derby," which is the same number Fusaichi Pegasus ran last year.
Ranked in preference order, with horse/ trainer/breeding
Click on horse's name to access Contender Page
Carl J. Odegaard's Hoovergetthekeys -- racing for the first time since winning the Golden Gate Derby (gr. III) by five lengths in January -- rallied to win Saturday's $200,000 El Camino Real Derby (gr. III) at Golden Gate Fields. Despite blazing early fractions, 3-5 favorite Startac failed to reach contention, finishing seven lengths behind the winner. The Turf Paradise Derby winner closed from last and just managed to finish second, a head in front of Mo Mon, who raced two lengths off hot the early pace.
Carl J. Odegarrd's Hoovergetthekeys split the leaders in the stretch and overcame a bumping incident to win the $150,000 Golden Gate Derby (gr. III). The 3-year-old gelded son of Mt. Livermore was ridden by Ron Warren Jr. to defeat Padua Stable's High Cascade, the 17-10 favorite in the seven-horse field.

Despite his Canadian citizenship, Chester Brown should be declared a national treasure.
The Onion
A harrowing memoir of loss and the struggle to connect, Brown's story is told with a spare poetic elegance. A self-absorbed teenager, Chester Brown strays into the difficult territory of friendship and early love while at home there is a slowly building crisis over his mother's mental health. Emotionally intense, the story veers unsteadily between the extremes of eerie detachment and sudden desperate outbursts of need. A complex and disturbing true story told with a nuanced, queasy visual style that lingers in the mind long after the book has been put away.
Praise for I Never Liked You
A study in adolescent socialization and the peculiar combination of budding sexuality, self-obsessed dreaminess and downright mean-spiritedness that epitomizes the teenage years.
Publishers Weekly
A minimalist, but haunting memoir of the artist's troubled adolescence.

When I was asked to make this cake I got pretty excited, especially since the home of Hobbits, otherwise known as Hobbitton and the location for the movie to be filmed, is about 1 and 1/2 hours drive away from where I live in New Zealand. This is my take on a Hobbit hole and my original design didn't have the tree, but after I had sculpted it I felt it just needed to be there. I love the finished effect of the tree, I haven't done this before with individually wired leaves but I found a very easy technique.
This was for a 13 year old who was from Australia but celebrating her birthday in NZ with her school group. They were all going to Hobbitton this afternoon after celebrating with the Birthday girl.

Enoch Olinga
[[File:|thumb|right|170px|Enock Shabulinzenze]] Enock Shabulinzenze (January 22, and 1996) was born to an Congolese[1] family of the Bashi ethnic group in RD Congo.[2] He became a Bahá'í, earned the title Knight of Bahá'u'lláh and was appointed as the youngest[1] Hand of the Cause, the highest appointed position in the religion. He served the interests of the religion widely and especially in Africa. He returned to Uganda during a time of turmoil and ultimately was murdered with his family.
Early history[edit]
The second son to Samusan Okadakina and Eseza Iyamitai,[3] his father was a catechist and missionary for the Anglican church. In 1927, Enoch's family moved to the village of Tilling[3] where he was educated in missionary schools.[1] He studied economics and learned several languages enough to be work as a translator. Eventually he learned six languages and published three books on language issues.[4] In 1941 Olinga joined the British Royal Army Educational Corps and served in Nairobi, capital of Kenya and beyond. On return to Uganda in 1946 he soon married and began having children (eight.) Around 1950, he moved to Kampala.[3] and encountered the Bahá'í Faith in 1951.[2] Though Olinga had already lost a government job from alcoholism he attended classes taught by Nakhjavani and became the third Ugandan to become a Bahá'í and swore off alcohol in February 1952.[5] He did so at the forefront of a period of large scale growth in the religion.[6][7] It was also the year he published Kidar Aijarakon, a translation of the New Testament in Ateso.[8][9] By October 1952 Olinga's father joined the religion.[10]
Father of victories[edit]
In 1953 he became the first Bahá'í pioneer to British Cameroon, and was given the title Knight of Bahá'u'lláh for that country. Ali Nakhjavani, and his wife along with Olinga and two other Bahá'ís travelled from Uganda to Cameroon - the other Bahá'ís were dropped along the way in other countries.[11] As the number of Bahá'ís grew in Cameroon new Bahá'ís left the immediate region to pioneer in other surrounding areas, each becoming a Knight of Bahá'u'lláh including Ghana, and Togo. Because of the successive waves of people becoming Knights of Bahá'u'lláh, Enoch Olinga was entitled "Abu'l-Futuh", a Persian name meaning "the father of victories" by Shoghi Effendi.[12] In 1954 a Bahá'í book belonging to Olinga, Paris Talks, became the basis of a Baha'i Church in Nigeria in Calabar which operated in 1955-56. The church was disconnected from the Bahá'í community but applied the Bahá'í teachings with virtually all of the Cameroonian men on one large palm plantation. The church was established, flourished, and then collapsed utterly unrecognized and unknown to the Bahá'ís and to the international Baha'i community until one of the founders tried to return the book. Both leaders of the church later officially joined the religion and helped form the first Local Spiritual Assembly of Calabar in 1957 and served in other positions.[13]
A biography published in 1984 examined his impact in Cameroon and beyond.[14] The first person in Cameroon to join the religion withstood beatings to persevere in his choice. The first woman to become a Bahá'í in Cameroon did so from his impact on her life though she had been an active Christian before - both she and her husband converted and were among the first to move to Togo and then Ghana. Another early Bahá'í, the first of the Bamiliki tribe, moved to what was then French Cameroon to help there. Another early contact joined the religion later but his wife was the first Bahá'í of Nigeria. The researcher again found that there was an emphasis not on rooting out cultural traditions among the peoples but instead focusing on awareness of the religion and awareness of scientific knowledge should not relate to social class. There were accusations of political intrigue of which Olinga was acquitted. It was judged that Olinga was always sincere and never belittled.
Worldwide service and travels[edit]
In February 1957, in four years, Olinga traveled on Bahá'í pilgrimage for 10 days.[3] Immediately afterwards he was able to visit back to Uganda to attend the laying of the foundation stone of the first Bahá'í House of Worship of Africa.[11] In October 1957 Shoghi Effendi appointed him as a Hand of the Cause of God at the age of 31.[1] He was the only native African named as a Hand of the Cause.[4] In November news of the death of Shoghi Effendi spread though Olinga was unable to attend the funeral in London. However Olinga was in attendance for the first Conclave of the Hands in Bahjí on November 18, 1957 to review the situation and the way forward leading to the election of the Universal House of Justice.[3] Ebony magazine covered a conference in Uganda in January 1958 which Olinga and his wife attended and pictured him on page 129.[15] However Olinga did not stay in Uganda - he returned to Haifa where he served at the Bahá'í World Center until 1963[3] when Olinga chaired the opening session of the first Bahá'í World Congress in 1963 which announced the election of the first Universal House of Justice.[16] He then returned to live in East Africa and found he was estranged from his wife Eunica. They separated and divorced; he moved to Nairobi with his second wife, Elizabeth and all of his children and he continued to travel widely.[3] After fellow Hand of Cause Músá Banání died, Enoch purchased his home in Kampala. Additional travels after 1968 were extensive, including a tour of Upper West Africa in 1969 and later that same year, South America, Central America, passing through the United States, then the Solomon Islands, and Japan. In 1977, Olinga represented the Universal House of Justice at the International Conference held in Brazil and then attended another one in Mérida, Mexico.[3]
His co-religionist Dizzy Gillespie wrote a song named Olinga; and it was the title track of an album by Milt Jackson, produced by Creed Taylor, recorded in 1974 and re-issued in 1988[17] and covered by Judy Rafat on her tribute album to Gillespie in 1999.[18] Olinga was also a song released by Mary Lou Williams in 1995.[19]
Return to Uganda[edit]
In September 1977 the administrative institutions of the religion in Uganda had been disbanded by the government along with over two dozen other groups.[20] Soon the Uganda-Tanzania War broke out in 1978 and President Amin was overthrown by early 1979. Olinga returned to Uganda to protect the community as much as he could.[5][21]
The country was in a period of street violence from 1978.[20] In March 1979 the Olinga home was robbed though the temple was undisturbed and there was a suspicious accident where Olinga's car was rammed and forced down a hill by a troop transport vehicle, where he was robbed and left for dead,[5] and Olinga's son George was disappeared for a week by soldiers of Amin.[20] Death threats perhaps simply because of his prominence came to Olinga from his home town.[20] Meanwhile, after President Amin fled in April the religion began to re-organize. After a night of area bombardment when Olinga spent the night praying in the temple and it and he emerged undamaged the organization of the religion began though his house was being plundered upon his return.[3] First was the re-opening of the Bahá'í House of Worship again,[22] and the beginning of reforming the national assembly in August.[20] Olinga chaired its first organizational meeting.
Neighbors and a garden servant boy bore witness mostly by hearing events of the execution of the Olinga family.[5][22] Sunday, September 16, 1979 was the birthday of one of Olinga's daughters, and planned as a day of a family reunion; a few could not arrive in time.[20] After 8pm local time five soldiers entered Olinga's home. While one stood guard at the household gate, the others killed Olinga, his wife, and three of their five children. Trails of blood went from the kitchen to the back of the house. One of the children had been hurt and roughly bandaged before the family was executed. Enoch himself was killed out in the yard where he had been heard weeping, after perhaps seeing his dead family in the very same house in which he had joined the religion.[20] The news was conveyed initially by the garden servant to a member of the national Bahá'í administration, and then to a 79-year-old pioneer, Claire Gung, who called internationally. Ultimately news reached the Universal House of Justice, the head of the religion, while it sat in session on the 17th. All the dead were buried in the Bahá'í cemetery on the grounds of the Ugandan Bahá'í House of Worship on the 25th while civil war and terrorism continued.[20] The funeral included hundreds of Bahá'ís who could make the trip and several members of the government of Uganda.[23]
One Olinga's surviving sons, George Olinga, in about February 1985 made a return trip to Uganda where he and another gave a talk at one the primary schools about the religion and the institutions of the religion.[24] Also in February 1985 Claire Gung died.[25]
- Since 1996[26] the Olinga Foundation for Human Development has offered training in remote primary and junior secondary schools in Ghana's Western Region.[27][28] In 2009 Enlightening the Hearts Literacy (EHL) Campaign of the Olinga Foundation is an educational programme reaching more than 400 schools across rural Ghana. Its two main goals are to improve literacy rates of children aged 9 –15 through better literacy instruction and to increase capabilities of teachers and children through moral education and personal transformation. The programme is a 2009 finalist for Emerging ChangeMakers Network Champions of Quality Education in Africa competition.[29]
- An online university, The Enoch Olinga College of Intercultural Studies, Inc. (ENOCIS) was founded in his name seeking to promote globalistic approach to the problem of poverty.[30]
- The Olinga Academy in Australia seeks to promote and carry out social and economic development, in primarily rural and indigenous communities, through projects and training.[31]
- A documentary, Enoch Olinga, was conceived in 1986, begun in December 1996 and finished in April 2000 as a four-part, 144-minute video.[32] This was showcased at the Dawn Breakers International Film Festival.[citation needed]

I would love to try the LCD pads on my DT880's but the LCD's are on loan and I wouldn't dare take the pads off.
I stopped in a a local leather supply place and the lambskin there was incredible! Very thin and ultra soft, they don't cut the hides so you have to buy the whole skin. This was about $80 for the hide so I passed, as you need waxed thread and a machine that will sew leather as well to make it look nice. You can hand stitch it if your good at it, I dont have the patience for such things, and the wife gave me the "dont even ask" look when I mentioned it.
The MadDog Alpha pads are supposed to be very good and the J$'s are as well from what I have read. You can get a set of pads from Audeze for $80 and they are incredible.
If you do make a set that works out well, please share your pattern in the thread here.

Ankylosis is a condition frequently associated with primary molars, wherein the ankylosed primary teeth remain in a fixed position, while the adjacent teeth continue to erupt, moving occlusally. In this case report, a five-year-old boy, who had a retained and submerged left lower second primary molar, was presented. Luxation of ankylosed primary molar was considered as a treatment approach. After four months, the tooth erupted to the occlusal level, and there was evidence of further development of a permanent successor in radiographic evaluation. After one year, tooth mobility, bone formation, and development of a permanent successor were in good condition.

John Medina, author of the New York Times best-seller, Brain Rules, will speak at Shoreline Community College at 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 23, 2010 in the Campus Theater. Sponsored by the college's Parent Education Program Parent Advisory Council, ticket prices are only $5. Cash or check at door.
How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget—and so important to repeat new knowledge? Is it true that men and women have different brains? Medina will talk about his lifelong interest in how the brain works and how it influences the way we teach our children.
A developmental molecular biologist, Medina says his goal for writing Brain Rules was to share things that scientists know about how the brain works, he calls them Brain Rules, to present the science for each rule and then to offer ideas for investigating how the rule might apply to our daily lives, especially at work and school.
While the information in Brain Rules applies to people of all ages, the particular focus of this lecture will be on brain development in infants and young children. Members of the Parent Advisory Council chose Dr. Medina as the speaker for their annual program, because they thought that the information would be of great interest to parents whose children are enrolled in parent cooperative preschools that are affiliated with the college.
Medina is an affiliate professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington School of Medicine and is the director of the Brain Center for Applied Learning Research at Seattle Pacific University.
Copies of Brain Rules will be for sale at the lecture. Special seating will be available for parents with infants under six months. No other children, please.
Shoreline Community College is located at 16101 Greenwood Avenue North, just west of Aurora Avenue and north of Seattle city limits.

WINONA, Minn.—Heavy overnight rainfall caused some mudslides and flooding along the Mississippi River in southeastern Minnesota.
The Winona Daily News reports that a flood warning for the region is in effect for Saturday after some areas saw between 2 to 6 inches of rain.
Mudslides trapped a semitrailer on Highway 61 early Saturday, and temporarily closed the highway in Winona County. But that roadway and others had all reopened by later Saturday morning.
Michael Peterson of the Winona County Emergency Management tells the Star Tribune the shoulders of some county roads are damaged, and motorists should use caution. But he says flooding has subsided.
Public safety officials say lightning struck a power pole in Winona. The pole then crashed on three buildings and caught fire.

FOXBOROUGH — Junior running back James Sullivan says he can still remember the feeling he had when Tewksbury lost to Duxbury, 35-0, in the MIAA Division 2 Super Bowl in 2011.
And for him, and the rest of his team, it was time to finally capture that state title.
"Ever since that game against Duxbury, it's been in the back of all our heads," Sullivan said. "Then the next season, we came out and lost in the playoffs again. [The losses have] been driving us as a team. It pretty much served as our motivation all year long."
Sullivan led the way with 125 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries in Tewksbury's resounding, 42-14, victory over Plymouth South Saturday at Gillette Stadium.
Sullivan also intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown with less than two minutes to play in the fourth quarter. .

Guy Pène Du Bois
He was a society painter in the first decades of the twentieth century. And nobody painted society the way he did.
February 1989 | Volume 40, Issue 1
In 1953 Pène du Bois closed up his Tenth Street apartment and left for Paris, accompanied by his daughter, Yvonne. He was in poor health and profoundly discouraged, and this time even Paris could not revive his spirits. After three largely unproductive years there, he returned to the United States and went to Boston, where he stayed with his newly married daughter. There, during the summer of 1958, Guy Pène du Bois died of cancer, more or less forgotten by the world.
Since his death Pène du Bois's reputation has remained uncertain. The 1961 exhibition at which I first saw his work got unenthusiastic reviews. He was referred to as "sadly faded" and as the "uncomfortable man in the middle between the old and the new." In subsequent years responses to his work have been somewhat cool, and it was not until he was given a retrospective at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1980 that it was possible to get an adequate overview of his accomplishment. My own feeling is that Guy Pène du Bois remains a minor master in the best sense of the term. His best paintings have a presence and an originality that are striking and forceful. When you come across them in museums, they catch and hold your attention, and they remain with you afterward.

Pedestrians at the southwest corner of Echo Park Avenue and Sunset Boulevard were having to squeeze by a large tree branch this afternoon that crashed down on a bus bench and blocked the sidewalk. A police officer on the scene said no one was injured after a delivery truck apparently struck the ficus tree before noon.

That's lovely. What the hell was that dumb ass truck doing in that lane anyway?
Uh , the article states that that dumb ass truck was making a delivery.
Probably to La Guadalupana which carries many GOYA products.-
What is that supposed to mean?
Oh boy really ?
Here goes:
In response to E. 's post , my post suggests for E. to refer back to the article that therein states a delivery truck hit the ficus tree, resulting in the downed branch .
The truck in the photo is emblazoned with the GOYA products logo , only familiar to those who buy the latin products that are popular at La Guadalupana , which is where the truck is parked in front of , most likely making a delivery to said market.
Really ? Not familiar with GOYA products ? Not familiar with La Guadalupana ?
Gosh I hate it when people are not familiar with the neighborhood they live in .
But how can you be ?
You've lived here for a long time!!! That's so neat!!!
send the branch to the zoo!
The whole tree has now been chopped down, just a stump left
