Who would have thought that Ralph Wilson Stadium would be the NFL's hot, sensual love palace? Just what else is going on under those parkas, Buffalo?? I hereby dub 2008 as the Year of the Lesbianic Sports Kiss. This truly is a Golden Age, is it not? More photos, including the windup and the pitch, right here.

I uploaded a drawing to Faceboook that I made yesterday and it was a hit with some people that like iron crosses in general. I decided to make the iron cross once again because the old one I have is just horrible. The coloring job and steps are so amateur, and for me that is one of those lessons that needed to be redone or a new one made. So to start the day I will be showing you "how to draw a tattoo iron cross", step by step. I really love the design of this cross because I went beyond my expectations by adding a really nice eagle in the center of the cross. This is one of those pieces that will be loved by so many folks that really enjoy tattoo art. I know there are a few people that have been waiting for this tut all day so here it finally is. This would actually make a great inking design for anyone that is looking for a cool cross for their back, arm, or even chest. I will be back in a few with some more lessons that I think you will enjoy. For now have fun with drawing tattoos or an iron cross tattoo. Remember, iron crosses stand for something, do you know what? Peace people!

Don't know about you, but when I travel, not matter how organized I try to be, I'm always hurrying to finish packing my toiletries and make-up. I'm also usually trying to fix my hair at the last minute, which means there sits my flat iron... too hot to pack! This gave us the idea for today's accessory: the hot tool case. It contains two hidden layers of metalized thermal batting. It looks pretty from the outside and is protective from the inside, so you can pack your curling or flat iron while warm... and still catch your plane on time! It's also great for your gym bag.
Our hot tool case is cleverly created so you can pack it two different ways, depending on whether the tool is warm or cold. If the tool is warm when you need to pack it, put the tool itself in the inside tool pocket and loop the cord around to the outside cord pocket. This way you don't store the cord next to the hot tool.
If you pack the tool when it is cool, the inside pocket is large enough to accommodate both the tool and its cord, and you can put other items, such as a comb and/or brush in the outside pocket.
The finished flat size of the case is approximately 6" x 20".
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome 3160 QDC)
- Walking Foot (optional)
- Ditch Quilting Foot (optional)
Fabric and Other Supplies
The Loulouthi fabric we used is an older collection, but you can still find cuts from online retailers as well as on Etsy. We found a remnant of our selection at Fashionable Fabrics. We also found some coordinating prints at Fabric.com.
- ½ yard of 44-45" wide print fabric: we used Loulouthi Curated Bloom in AH39-June by Anna Maria Horner for Free Spirit Fabrics
NOTE: You could probably squeeze by with a ⅓ yard cut, but having a little bit extra gives you the ability to nicely fussy cut the cord pocket.
- ¼ yard of 58-60" wide heavy cotton twill in a coordinating solid color; we used 100% cotton twill in brown from Fabric.com
- Scrap or ¼ yard of lightweight fusible interfacing for cord pocket
- ½ yard of insulating batting; we used Insul-Fleece by C&T Publishing
NOTE: If you are new to this type of batting, take a look at our tutorial on thermal product options
- One package of extra wide double fold bias tape for top pocket edges and entire outside edge of caddy body: we used Wrights Extra Wide Double Fold bias binding in Berry
- All purpose thread to match bias tape
- See-through ruler or yardstick
- Fabric marker, pen, or tailor's chalk for marking fabric
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Straight pins
Getting Started
- Download and print the TWO 8½" x 11" pattern sheets: Hot Tool Pouch 1 and Hot Tool Pouch 2.
IMPORTANT: You must print all these PDF files at 100%. DO NOT SCALE to fit the page.
- Cut out the patterns along the solid lines.
- Following the diagram on each sheet, tape the two pieces together. Butt together your cut pieces and tape; do NOT overlap.
- From the print fabric (Loulouthi Curated Bloom in June in our sample), cut the following:
Use the FULL pattern piece to cut ONE full 20" piece
Use the CROPPED pattern piece to cut ONE 14" tool pocket piece - in other words, cut the top of this piece at the horizontal line marked "Top of Tool Pocket."
ONE 17" x 6" rectangle for the cord pocket
NOTE: We fussy cut each rectangle so the pocket print matched the background piece.
TWO 12" x 1" strips for the ties
- From the solid fabric (brown cotton twill in our sample), cut the following:
Use the FULL pattern piece to cut ONE full 20" piece
Use the CROPPED pattern piece to cut ONE 14" tool pocket piece - in other words, cut the top of this piece at the horizontal line marked "Top of Tool Pocket."
- From the insulting batting (Insul-Fleece in our sample) , cut the following:
Use the FULL pattern piece to cut ONE full 20" piece
Use the CROPPED pattern piece to cut ONE 14" tool pocket piece - in other words, cut the top of this piece at the horizontal line marked "Top of Tool Pocket."
- Cut ONE 6" x 8½" rectangle from the lightweight fusible interfacing.
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
Make and attach the narrow ties
- On one 12" x 1" strip, fold in each end ¼" then fold each side in ¼" so the raw edges meet in the middle similar to a piece of double fold bias binding.
- Fold the strip in half again, encasing the raw edges and aligning the folded edges.
- Stitch one seam the length of the strip, starting and ending as close to each end as possible.
- Repeat to create the second tie.
- Place one tie at the center bottom of the print tool pocket piece, 5" up from the bottom raw edge.
- Place the other tie at the center top of the print main case piece, 1½" down from the top raw edge.
- Stitch each tie in place, following the existing seam line. I stitched back and forth several times for about ½".
NOTE: If you prefer, you can skip this step and use narrow bias binding for the ties or ribbon. If you choose to use coordinating ribbon, make sure it is 100% cotton. Anything else could melt should it accidentally touch the hot tool.
Layering and basting the two sections
- Make sure all your layers are pressed flat.
- Find all three tool pocket pieces and all three main case pieces (print, solid and batting). Layer each set of three as follows: solid right side down, fleece, print right side up.
- Pin each set of layers together being very careful to make sure all the layers remain flat and all the raw edges, especially the rounded corners, are flush.
- Machine or hand baste around all sides through all the layers. This will allow you to treat these three layers as one piece during the rest of the construction. I used my Janome Walking Foot to control the fabric. It helps keep multiple layers from shifting.
- Trim back the batting close to the basting line. This will help reduce bulk.
- Cut a 6" strip from the bias binding and slip it over the top raw edge of the tool pocket layered piece. Pin in place.
- Edgestitch the binding, making sure to catch both sides of the binding.
Make and place the cord pocket
- Find the 17" x 6" cord pocket and the 8½" x 6" interfacing. Following manufacturer's directions, fuse the interfacing to one half of the wrong side of the cord pocket piece.
- Fold the interfaced pocket piece right sides together, aligning all the raw edges. Pin along the 6" side.
- Using a ½" seam allowance, stitch along the 6" side only.
- Turn right side out and press well.
- Place the pocket on the print side of the main case layered piece. The bottom is the seamed edge; the top is the folded edge. The bottom seamed edge should be placed approximately 4" from the bottom raw edge of the main case layered piece. This is approximate because if you have fussy cut your pocket to match your fabric, you may need to slide it up or down slightly to get a good match, but try to stay close to the 4" from the bottom mark.
- When you have your placement set, pin in place, then edgestitch in place across the bottom only.
Attaching the binding
- Place the tool pocket layered piece onto the main case layered piece so the bottom curved edges match, the solid sides are facing in, and the print sides are facing out.
- We are attaching our bias tape binding using the traditional method. I've summarized my steps, but if you are new to this technique, check out our tutorial: Bias Tape: How To Make It & Attach It.
- You'll notice the bias tape's folded edges are slightly different in width. Unfold the NARROWER edge and position it right side down along the edge of the case. Align the crease of bias tape with the basting stitch line on the case.
NOTE: You are working on the INSIDE of the case - the tool pocket side.
- Start pinning at the bottom. Leave about a 2" of binding tail loose at the beginning, then continue to pin all the way around the case, stopping about 2-3" from your starting point and leaving another 2" tail.
- Don't be afraid to take a little time to futz with the rounded corners and feel free to use a lot of pins. The bias binding is made to curve... you just gotta work at it a little.
NOTE: It's also a good idea to pin your little ties out of the way so they don't accidentally get caught up in the binding.
- Stitch the bias tape to the fabric, following the fold. Because you are stitching right along the fold line, it's pretty easy to follow and keep your stitching straight. I continued using my Janome Walking Foot because you're going through a LOT of layers with this project. Remember to leave the beginning and end of the binding loose. This will allow you the extra length you need to join your binding end-to-end, then attach it to the fabric for a clean finish.
- You now have the tail you left at the beginning and the tail you left at the end. Unfold the binding strips and place the two binding tails right sides together.
- Determine the point where you can sew a straight seam that will allow your binding to lay flat against fabric. Pin the ends together at this point.
- Pull the binding away from the fabric so you can place it under the foot of your sewing machine.
- Sew a seam where you pinned the binding. Trim the tails to a ¼" seam allowance.
- The binding should now be a perfect fit against the case. Fold this loose section of the binding back into its original shape and pin in place.
- Finish sewing the binding in place, joining your starting and ending points and matching the seam lines.
- Press the binding up and away from the fabric and fold it around to the other side. It should align just beyond your previous stitching line.
- Make sure your fold is even all around the edge. Again, you may need to futz with the rounded corners a little bit on the back to make sure they lay just right. Pin well!
- Here's what mine looked like from the outside...
- and the inside.
- Edgestitch your binding in place, stitching on the inside of the case (the same side on which you made your first binding seam). I used my Janome Ditch Quilting foot to allow me to stay very straight and as close to the edge as possible.
- Press and steam so it is nice and flat.
- Carefully check both sides; if any of the original basting stitches show, simply pick them out with a seam ripper.
Hints and Tips
Clean Finishing Option
I used the steps above to create our sample, and it turned out fine. However, if I were to do it again, I think I would choose to hand stitch the binding in place at the final step (step #17 above) for the cleanest finish.
This is the type of finish many quilters prefer for their quilt binding. All the steps are exactly the same as above, but instead of machine stitching all the way around, slip stitch or whip stitch the binding in place from the outside (the cord pocket side).
This technique was used on our Ruffled Table Runner project if you'd like to see step-by-step photos.

I love a good Chanel lipstick or lip gloss and my newest purchase, courtesy of Mr C is one of the Rouge Coco Shine!
I chose 48 Evasion which is a pretty pink type nude with subtle shimmer. It's very natural on me:
They say:
The formula glides on for easy application, and a unique HYDRATENDRE complex hydrates and softens lips, giving them a healthier and fuller appearance. Available in a complete range of shades, from delicate beiges to dazzling berries, with a hint of shimmer to enhance a glossy finish.
So we know this range from Chanel is extremely natural…To be honest there were about 3 shades that I liked:
I found the Rouge Coco Shine a very elegant lipstick – Chanel get the packaging right, always, and the texture is lovely, it glides across the lips and leaves a really pretty natural glow which really leaves the lips looking supple – mine are very dry at the moment but it seemed to cope well with that.
On the other hand…I can't say this lipstick in terms of formula is that unique or WOW. The colours are the kind of thing you can wear every day, easily, but at the steep price (£22.50) I wouldn't say, rush out and buy one.
Lip swatch:
So, if you are looking for a super pretty, light, glossy, hydrating lipstick is gorgeous packaging and have the money for something special then consider the rouge coco range. I am wearing this quite often as a natural every day shade.
Do you have a Rouge Coco Shine? What do you think?

Low sperm count, reduced sperm motility and malformed sperms are main causes for male infertility. There are various biological and environmental factors which affect sperm count, motility and morphology. Many of these factors have been mentioned in ayurvedic texts. The causes of low sperm count are briefly explained below.
Age :
Innumerable researches have been conducted to determine the effect of ageing process on male fertility. A decrease in male fertility has been noted as age progresses. Maintenance of good health by following healthy lifestyle and diet retards ageing process. The rate of fertilization starts falling down for men who are above 40.
Hence " Vajikarana Therapy" is recommended in ayurveda for men who are above 20 and below 70 to maintain optimum sexual activity and number of healthy sperms. Vajikarana Therapy recommends herbal preparations which are aphrodisiac in nature. Vajikarana therapy increases sperm count, sperm motility and quantity of semen. This therapy is helpful in erectile dysfunction.
Overheating of testicles:
Overheating of testicles due to high fever, hot water bath, saunas, tight pants or under garments can cause low sperm count. The Testes (two egg-shaped structures) remain in the Scrotum, outside the body, where the temperature is about 3 degrees C, cooler than the body internal temperature (27 degrees C. Sperm development in the Testes Requires the Lower Temperature.). Hence any factor which increases the temperature of testicles causes low sperm count.
According to Sushrutacharya Testicles are made of Kapha and Medha (fat). Increased heat imbalances kapha and medha , thus affecting sperm production.
Cocaine and Marijuana reduce sperm motility and sperm count by as much as 50%. Smoking reduces sperm count, sperm motility and also causes genetic changes. Smoking causes low sex drive, erectile dysfunction or impotence. Alcohol can damage sperms. Hence alcohol intake should be reduced to increase fertility.
Diet and Life Styles:
Stress at work place or in family, strained relationship, lubricants or spermicides used in condoms and physical stress can temporarily cause low sperm count. Malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies cause low sperm count. Deficiency of Vitamin C, Zinc, selenium etc can reduce sperm count. Bicycling can cause low sperm count, as testicles and scrotum may get injured during riding. Some studies have revealed that obesity may be a cause for low sperm count.
Genetic factors :
Malformed organs or tissues in male reproductive system.
Obstruction of semen carrying tubes.
Persons with 1 extra X chromosome (Normal chromosome in man is 1 X and 1 Y chromosome)
Environmental factors :
Overexposure to toxins, chemicals and infections. Pesticides, hydrocarbons and mumps in adult hood can cause low sperm count. Chronic exposure to heavy metals like lead, arsenic or cadmium can cause low sperm count. Radiations and X-rays affect sperm producing cells.
Varicocele :
Vericose vein in the cord of the testicle can cause low sperm count.
Acharya Charaka in his ayurvedic text, mentions the following factors as causes for low quality of semen.

Recently we attended the 2012 Gartner Symposium/ITxpo. This event featured over 450 industry analyst sessions, workshops, roundtables and keynote speeches from renowned business leaders. Featuring insight into what's new and next in IT, this was one incredible event Research In Motion (RIM) had the privilege of participating in.
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
Featured keynote speakers included John T Chambers, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer from Cisco, Meg Whitman, President and Chief Executive Officer from Hewlett-Packard, and General Colin Powell, Retired U.S. General.
RIM held a number of information sessions to highlight the upcoming launch of BlackBerry 10. Featured speakers included Jeff Holleran, Senior Director of Enterprise Product Management and Vivek Bhardwaj, Head of Software Portfolio. Throughout his session, Jeff talked to over 100 Gartner session attendees about the future of the mobile enterprise, which requires a unified solution that gives employees access to the information they need, without compromise. Jeff's session shed light on what's in store for BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, RIM's enterprise mobility management solution. Representing the Enterprise Business Unit, Jeff explained how "BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 supports a heterogeneous mobile environment with greater security, flexibility, cost-savings, and manageability."
Following Jeff's engaging presentation, Vivek Bhardwaj, Head of Software Portfolio, shared an overview of the BlackBerry 10 experience with over 200 session attendees. By demonstrating the BlackBerry 10 features and functionality in action, Vivek captivated the audience with a series of live demos. Vivek also expertly balanced the end user perspective from both a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) consumerization mindset, and a management perspective targeted to the CIO's and IT decision makers in attendance.
In addition to two BlackBerry 10 focused information sessions from RIM leadership, a BlackBerry booth was set up on the 2012 Gartner Symposium/ITxpo show floor to demonstrate the various BlackBerry product and service offerings available in the North American market today. Visitors to the BlackBerry show floor booth were able to learn more about BlackBerry Mobile Fusion, RIM's mobile device management solution for BlackBerry, iOS and Android devices, BlackBerry PlayBook and the BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone. A "cell spa" was also set up as a service to attendees. BlackBerry staff were on hand to charge BlackBerry, iOS and Android device batteries and freshen up smartphone display screens at the cell spa for conference attendees.
Were you in attendance at the 2012 Gartner Symposium/ITxpo? If you were able to listen to our BlackBerry information sessions or visit us on the show floor, let us know what you thought by commenting below!

Foreign Policy Masochism: The Campaign for U.S. Intervention in Yugoslavia
Foreign policy experts, media pundits, and congressional leaders are calling with increasing frequency for the United States to intervene militarily in the Yugoslavian conflict. Although the Bush administration has wisely resisted such proposals, it has slowly escalated the U.S. political and diplomatic role and thereby increased the danger of a subsequent military entanglement. Leading administration officials also seem to be weakening in their resolve to keep out of the fray.
Those who urge the United States to become involved in the turmoil taking place in the Balkans embrace a reckless policy. Military intervention would almost certainly result in the loss of American lives and create a host of long‐term political risks and burdens without even the hope of offsetting tangible benefits. The ethnic conflicts convulsing Yugoslavia result from long‐standing animosities that are impervious to solutions imposed from the outside. In that sense, Yugoslavia is a larger and more dangerous version of Lebanon.
Equally important, there is no need for the United States to become entangled in the fighting. Yugoslavia has never been a vital interest of the United States, and contrary to some of the superheated rhetoric of interventionists, the region is a geopolitical backwater in the post‐Cold War era. The outcome of the fighting will not have a significant impact even on the European, much less the global, balance of power and, therefore, does not warrant U.S. action. Although the bloodletting is undoubtedly tragic, it does not serve the best interests of the American people to have this country become a participant in the carnage.

This is how breakup rumors get started...
Nicki Minaj appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday, where host Ellen DeGeneres asked about the "engagement ring" she's been wearing. "Are you really going to zoom in on my ashy hands? Come on, now. You have to prep women for that. You can't just zoom in on people's fingers and hands," the "Barbershop: The Next Cut" star said before discussing Meek Mill.
"First of all, that's not an engagement ring. Right? I have two rings from this boy that likes me. And he gave me..." She was unable to finish her sentence, as a photo of her ring appeared on the screen behind her. "Oh my God! Stop!" she said. DeGeneres joked, "That boy has money. Whatever boy that is."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"That's not my engagement ring, though," the "Night Is Still Young" rapper clarified. "He said that that's my second ring and that if I get a third ring that that would be the engagement ring."
DeGeneres asked Minaj if she's "ready to get engaged," to which she answered, "You know, I don't know. We're still figuring each other out. And in fact, I don't even want to say that I'm in a relationship anymore, because I think when people hear that, they go to like the mean place and try to like – not you, though. You're super. I love you to death."
DeGeneres prodded her to "talk about it in a kind place," but the rapper wouldn't budge. "I would rather not. You know, I used to be secretive. You guys asked me about that before on my pre-interview," Minaj said. "I used to say, 'I'm not in a relationship,' even though I was in a 12-year relationship [with Safaree Samuels]...Now I feel like just going back to that and saying, 'You know what? I'm single."
As an example, Minaj said she decided not to share a picture of her Valentine's Day gift on Instagram. "People said, 'They're not together.' We were getting anonymous messages saying, 'Yeah, she wasn't with him and she was crying all day.' Just putting up all these things. Meanwhile, we were really in bed all day on Valentine's Day. Like, seriously! We were in bed all day and then I got up and opened these three amazing gifts, and then I went back to bed. Then I read this story that we weren't together on Valentine's Day and it just made me realize that no matter how great your life is, you can't even impress people. You just have to do you and make yourself happy and forget about trying to get everyone's approval. It's better just to keep those things sacred. So, now, I don't really care to say 'I'm in a relationship' or 'I'm engaged' or whatever. There's a boy that likes me. That's all."
DeGeneres reminded her that the "boy" in question "spent a lot of money on you hoping you would say you were in a relationship. I mean, he's not happy about you saying you're single."
Minaj, who never mentioned her man by name, ended with this: "He and I are just two souls right now passing through the universe, and I don't know what's going to happen. I just have learned over the years to just let things be and come and go as they are going to come and go."

- Localism
Like surfing in Holland and Belgium at any spot you should pick the right moment. There can be some nice waves you just have to know when. Real good days are probably only around the 3 to 5 a year. Don't go to Holland on a surf trip, sometimes there are weeks without waves, especially in the summer, it's just not worth spending your trip. If you want some real surf, go to France, Ireland, Spain, the Canary Islands. There is some of Europe's finest surf and in the winter it gets big.

Wijkiki aan Zee - Being a local, I have surfed there for a while. Mostly you should surf there with hightide and swell direction/wind direction coming from the North. You have some nice places to relax and chill, like Aloha and Timboektoe. There is no such kind of localism at all. Everybody is really kind and generous with oneanother. During the weekend it can be really crowded. My advice is just to walk a little futher into the mellow. However Wijk aan Zee has its disadvantages: You have to cover a huge distance when walking to sea (approximently 1500 meters) and when swell is generated from the south/southwest, there will be no swell at all, because the pier screws up all the waves. Nevertheless there is one gigantic benefit: The currency is minimalized by the pier! Parking is never a problem, although it can be a long stroll to the beach. There is also a surfschool open from May till September and a place where you can rent boards and wetsuits. More questions feel free sending me an email: email@example.com

Cloud Forest Glow
It was raining on and off during the afternoon of this incredible sunset at the Costa Rica Cloud Forest. Since the weather was changing so much, I was keeping an eye on the sunset because usually "bad" weather can transform into amazing pictures. Sure enough, the rain stopped and I couldn't believe what I saw from my cabin, it looked like the mountains were on fire. I ran to a viewpoint where I was able to witness this amazing sunset. The rain in the distance was reflecting the orange warm light from the sun, creating this wonderful glow that lasted less than three minutes. A big part of Nature Photography is being at the right place at the right time.
Bow Lake
Bow Lake is one of my favorite places to stop along the Icefields Parkway in Banff, Alberta, Canada. While walking along the shore I selected this spot to compose a scene with rocks in the foreground and reflections of the mountains on the water. Notice the soft light on Crowfoot Mountain and the moving clouds as a result of the long exposure used.
Smooth Sunset
This image is from Flamingo Beach, Guanacaste Costa Rica. When I captured this scene the colors in the sky were not intense, so I decided to shoot focused on the "smooth mood" of the flowing water and the blue tones of the ocean. The log as a foreground element was the main reason why I decided to compose the scene from that location, down low and close. Notice the fine details of the sand, the rich texture of the log and the soft transition from the sand to the water. The final result is a soothing and tranquil seascape.
Light and Darkness
Sunrise from Vermilion Lakes in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. It was a cold, snowy, winter morning with a sky full of clouds before sunrise. However, the sky cleared up letting the sun shine through the left side of the composition. On the right, dark clouds were moving fast towards Mount Rundle covering it in a dramatic way. I decided to name this image "Light and Darkness" because of the great contrast. The movement of the clouds creates a dynamic scene and the lake a perfect mirror of this wonderful moment.
Castle on Fire
The magnificent Castle Mountain is located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. This image was taken next to the Bow River at sunset, the temperature was -15C. For this composition I wanted to maximize the reflections on the water transforming the flow of the river into a smooth mirror.
Aurora - Ghost Lake
The Aurora Borealis captured at Ghost Lake, near Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The camera captured in a nice way green, yellow, magenta, purple and red colors. I really like this composition with foreground elements inlcuding rocks and a log. The lake was still frozen and has a nice smooth green cast from the Aurora. The trees on the left balance the composition of this image. The Northern Lights are a wonderful nature event.
Bow Valley Aurora
Aurora Borealis from Bow Valley in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. This image was taken during the maximum intensity of the aurora. For the first time I was able to capture some purple. It was very exciting! The composition for this scene is simple and focuses on the sky. The trees, clouds and mountains in the background add interest without competing with the Northern Lights.
Red-eyed Tree Frog
This amazing frog is commonly known as "Red-eyed Tree Frog" or "Rana Calzonuda" in Spanish. Its scientific name is Agalychnis Callidryas. It has big red eyes, an intense green body with blue and yellow stripes, orange feet and a white belly. Males measure around 6cm while females are bigger, growing up to 7.5cm. Its different colors make this frog one of the most photographed frogs in the world. Its camouflage is excellent by shrinking into a small form, hiding its eyes and colors with its legs and body, becoming part of any green leaf. Usually they don't move a lot, making them a great subject to photograph. For this composition I wanted to emphasize the big red eye. This image was taken in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica.
Green and Black Poison Dart Frog
The Green and Black Poison Dart Frog is native to Central America and some parts of South America. These tiny frogs can measure around 20mm. Taking this image was a challenge while the little frog kept jumping around. I like the blurred background due to the shallow depth of field used, the deep green of the leaves and the intense turquoise color of the frog which contrasts with its black spots. This image was taken in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica.
This bull elk was roaming around its herd when it decided to rest, while still remaining vigilant of the surroundings. The antlers of this warrior were as impressive as the injuries it had around its eyes; probably from previous battles with other bull elk. When a foolish human got too close to one of the cow elks, it made it clear to stay away with its loud call.
Ornate Hawk-Eagle
One of the three Hawk-Eagle species found in Costa Rica. This Ornate Hawk-Eagle was hunting, waiting for a prey to show up and then dove into the forest trying to capture something. I was delighted with this amazing bird for half an hour, it wasn't easy to follow but when it perched looking for a prey I took advantage of the opportunity to capture some great images and video. The intense look on its eyes and the size of the talons are the main things I like from this image. Boca Tapada, Costa Rica.
Resplendent Quetzal
I lived in Costa Rica for 32 years of my life and never saw a Quetzal because I never went looking for one. After moving to Canada and starting with photography, I realized how I missed many amazing opportunities and experiences because you take things for granted. This is my first official Resplendent Quetzal image taken in San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica. This male was feeding and perching on an "aguacatillo" tree which is a a fruit of the avocado family. Males have four extended uppertail coverts up to 76cm long. In this image its tail was hiding behind some branches so I decided to compose focusing on its amazing red and green feathers that cover its body. Don't take things for granted and go enjoy the things that surround you wherever you live.
Red-headed Barbet
Red-headed Barbets are small birds that measure around 6 inches or 15cm. You can find many nice birds in Costa Rica, making it diffcult to have a favorite one. However this little bird is easily on my top 3 favorite birds. I love that it's small, it looks mad and it is so colorful. The contrast of red, black, white, yellow, orange and greeen on the male make it look unreal. A very cute bird that I'm glad to have in my portfolio. Cinchona, Costa Rica.
Keel-billed Toucan
Keel-billed toucans are one of the most striking birds you can see in Costa Rica. The multicolored bill is so unique that it is easy to understand why many people travel looking for this species. The contrast of green, yellow, orange, blue and red colors on its bill is wonderful. The yellow feathers on its throat and chest have an outer red ring that separates them from the black feathers on the rest of its body. On top of all these, its feet are blue! A magnificent bird that will always be a great subject to photograph. This image was taken in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica.
Green Honeycreeper
Portrait of a Green Honeycreeper. Beautiful bird with turquoise and black colors. An amazing contrast from Mother Nature. Scientific name: Chlorophanes Spiza. Image taken in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica.

So this is what the San Francisco Giants do. Sort of. They lead the majors with seven walk-off home runs already this year, so we guess that they found a way to win at home to the Rockies even when they were down 5-4 in the 10th inning shouldn't be too much of a surprise. This, though, wasn't just a walk-off.
With a man on second base last night, Giants batter Ángel Pagán drove a pitch all the way to the right field wall, where it bounced away from the Rockies outfielder. Pagán got waved in from third base, but he still had a lot of work to do to beat out the throw. He did. And the result, as you can see, is ridiculous.
It's the first walk-off inside-the-park home run in Major League Baseball since 2004. Turns out it was worth the wait.

That's an interesting story, Cryp. I have no doubt that it's true, but they must have had some baking powder/sode and some fat/oil for the frying. Probably the whiteys didn't have dried yeast back then.theCryptofishist wrote:The thing I like about frybread (apart from tastiness, of course) is the whole meaning it has to me about survival and continued cultural evolution. After the US govment took away the land, it basically became responcible for the feeding of the indians. They shipped them flour, as if breadmaking were completely obvious. (Talk about cultural blinders!) Frybread is what the indians invented to do with it.
I just love that story.
My sister told it better.
The Injuns I know prefer bologna sandwiches.
Native Americans
I am the dental director of the Susanville Rez just over the mountains from BRC. I do not know of any Piutes from our area who are burners.
I do know that the Local Native Americans get discounted tickets as my friend at the Reno Indian colony can score discounted tickets.

i'm coming from the nearby rez of fallon. we're paiutes and shoshone. but i find for the most part, local indians suffer enough of the heat, dust, and winds of this environment...that the prospect of sitting out in the desert with a bunch of crazy white people....just isn't their cup of tea.

Review: The Salon
What unfortunate timing, given the whole Don Imus controversy.
Despite a talented cast which includes Terrence Howard and Garret Morris, life's simply too short for slur-ploitation with such lamentably low standards.
Since the success of Barbershop, Hollywood has been having a love affair with trash-talking Black folks' having their hair done.
Besides the brothers in Barbershop 2, we've also seen sisters dishing the dirt in Beauty Shop and Hair Show. If you're in need of proof that the genre has been milked dry, may I suggest The Salon, a derivative flick which is reminiscent of all of the above.
The film opens interestingly enough, with an explanation of the ghetto grooming ground rules. "Hair is a form of expression in the Black community. It doesn't even have to be your own… Horse hair, camel hair, raccoon hair, whatever. Girlfriend, if you bought it, it's yours."
Next, we're introduced to shop owner Jenny (Vivica A. Fox), and the colorful collection of familiar stereotypes hanging at her hood-based establishment. There's larger than life Lashaunna (Kym Whitley), a motor-mouthed mama who has nothing nice to say about anybody.
And then there's D.D. (De'Angelo Wilson), a flamboyant gay, whose presence in the picture is justified by his willingness to be the butt of meanspirited homophobic threats and teasing. Ricky (Dondre Whitfield) is a player who sleeps with his clients and boasts that he'll never get caught. Every character is readily-recognizable and one-dimensional.
The basic idea, here, is that like a barbershop, a salon is a place where folks feel free to let their hair down, literally and figuratively. Tragically, this translates into people referring to Black people by the N-word, homosexuals by the f-word, and making offensive comments about Asians mixing their 'l's and 'r's. And so forth.
The film bottoms-out when D.D. offers these encouraging words to an aspiring prostitute: "If you're going to be a ho, be an ambitious ho. Work uptown." What unfortunate timing, given the whole Don Imus controversy.
Despite a talented cast which includes Terrence Howard and Garret Morris, life's simply too short for slur-ploitation with such lamentably low standards.

Course formats: GPS Format
The course format "GPS Format" allows e-learning content to be displayed according to the geo coordinates of the learner.
This enables location-based mobile learning or simple geocaching. Learners who use a GPS enabled Web Browser on a Smartphone could take the advantage of this course format. Location services based on WLAN or the phone providers data will not work well due to missing precision.
In events like a city rally, the learner walks between predefined locations using a smartphone or tablet PC. At these stations the learner gets certain information and tasks that are directly related to the location. All conceivable Moodle content like text, pictures, videos or tests can be used.
The trainer is able to integrate new content at his desktop PC, by simply creating a new Moodle course. The GPS format largely matches the popular topics format. Every topic section can contain different material or activities. In a second step specific topic sections can be assigned to the corresponding GPS coordinates where they should be visible. After the installation of the course format "GPS Format", Moodle courses can be created in the new format and existing courses can be transferred into the new format with only one click.
Demo Video:
The demo video shows the Version 1.2 of the GPS plugin. From the version 1.3 and 1.4 on trainers do the GPS settings a bit different. Following the Moodle standards it is now done directly in the settings of the topics themselves.
Hint: Please be indulgent with my English pronunciation in the demo video. I didn't want to wait for a native speakers help to publish this helpful course format early together with a demo video.
How to install:
Follow the instructions of the Moodle documentation:
The correct path on your Moodle server is:
This is usually an unsupported version of the course format.
If you ask kindly you can contact Barry Oosthuizen who helped us to develop the plugin.
The ka:media Team could also help from time to time.
Background information:
ka:media developed the GPS course format in a "Pro" version for Totara and its own systems. The focus lies on country-specific learning, mobile learning in large commercial spaces and the efficient training of rescue and delivery services.
The team discovered already in the developing process, that a GPS format will be a very helpful tool for a broad range of users, e.g. teachers or in tourism.
To support the meanwhile great development of Moodle in the area of mobile applications, ka:media decided to publish the GPS format in a version, which is without any fee-based support and can be installed by every Moodle administrator.

- Tue, Jun 17, 2014, 4:16 AMFirst I would like to thank you for your brilliant idea plugin =]
I am constantly using plugin in Moodle and would like to get some doubts: I realized that at times the system does not identify my location correct in the "update my position, I would like to know why this occurs. Another question I have is that sometimes when I use a cell phone and a computer in the same location, both with internet, to update my position in both my current location on my cell is different from the computer. Can be an error in the plugin? I have another question, testing more thoroughly realized that the plugin does not work in browser standards of android devices, this error can be corrected at some point?
- Fri, Jun 20, 2014, 2:45 PMHello Wesley,
the geo locating needs to have a device with gps and this works very fine. Geo locating mostly works with computers and other devices connected via wlan. It does not work with computers without gps and without wlan.
Yes, you will get some small differences between gps and wlan but these should be not far away.
Jürgen told about some problems with Android devices. I could not see them on my iPad or my iPhone.
- Sat, Jun 21, 2014, 1:13 AMHello Wesley, hello Ralf,
we know on some Android Devices/Versions that you are not able to force them to use the GPS sensor in the Web Browser, even if there is one.
E.g. I had trouble with Google Chrome on Samsung S3.
Firefox always worked fine on any device.
If the Browser does not use GPS, the position sometimes is set well, sometimes it is set not well.
Best way to check if there are browser or device related issues is to open https://maps.google.com
If your position is shown correctly in the browser, but the GPS Format doesn't work well, please tell us.
If https://maps.google.com shows a wrong position, please try to do the following for testing:
a) install firefox
b) check your devices location settings
- Mon, Jul 7, 2014, 9:14 AMthanks Jürgen Kappus and Ralf Krause.
I have a few more questions and would like to chat by email. I sent an email with your questions.
When will be released a new version of the plugin?
- Mon, Jul 7, 2014, 3:30 PMRadius:
I was asked for the range in Meters of the GPS area of a restricted topic.
A: we set it to 50 meters in the free GPS format for Moodle. That means - based on the accuracy of your device a range of 20 meters should be matched correctly on any device.
Keep in mind this only works when you are outside of buildings.
A programmer or an admin can change this value in the locallib.php in line 84 for your complete Moodle installation to set up different values:
" $locationradius = 50; "
- Mon, Jul 7, 2014, 3:33 PMData security:
I was asked to keep learners position data more secure than we already do and not to update it automatically when the course is loaded.
We will take this suggestion into our TODO list for the next release.
@all: please feel free to make more suggestions directly here.
- Mon, Jul 7, 2014, 7:52 PMHello Jürgen Kappus,
Thanks for the help
My suggestion is to update the position when user clicks on "update my position" and then click "update"
The current version updates the position as follows:
1) to load a course
2) by clicking the button "update my position" (updated again)
3) After click on the button "update my position" click update (updated again)
I would like to update only when the user clicked on "update my position" and then click "update" (a single update of position). I'm modifying the source code, but I'm not getting any suggestions to help me?
- Sun, Sep 7, 2014, 10:39 AMWhich the date set for the next version of the plugin?
- Wed, Dec 24, 2014, 12:27 AMWe just started to work on version 1.4 of the plugin. So we are really open to any bug report or feature suggestion. Feel free to post them here.
- Fri, Jun 26, 2015, 3:09 PMBUG Info: There is a known bug in the format. You can hide Topics from Students based on their location. But single activities within the topics could be accessed if you show activities in the navigation block. Until we fix it, it pays to hide the navigation block completely on course pages that use GPS restrictions.
- Wed, Feb 17, 2016, 3:40 PMI just came across this plugin and am very interested in trying it out. While I've read that it was "Recently updated for Moodle 3.0", I cannot find the download version for Moodle 3.0. Please advise. Thanks!
- Thu, Feb 18, 2016, 12:33 PMThe programming is still in progress.
We will publish the new versio (hopefully) in March.
The Plugin will then run in Moodle 3.0.x.
The language files will be cleaned up and will be published im AMOS. So everybody can create and publish own translations of the Plugin.
We will actually not fix the behavior that a GPS hidden section is still accessible by the standard navigation menue, if the menue in your Moodle installation is set up to show single activities.
- Thu, Jul 28, 2016, 10:45 PMBug report:
If you access to a course in gps format with the Moodle Mobile app then you will get all sections without any gps restriction.
- Mon, Apr 15, 2019, 1:17 AMHi, Jürgen Kappus, a newbie question...
Can this module be used to import GPS data from a Satellite pet containment fence?
- Thu, Sep 26, 2019, 6:54 PMWill it be updated to moodle 3.6?

Pattern me not
So raise your hand if you absolutely adore Kurt. I do! I do! LOL For me it started with the football game episode (an instant classic in my opinion) and was totally cemented when he sang Defying Gravity... sigh. I really hope this show has a very long and successful run. :)
Now, onto other fun things. This week's Mystery Monday challenge over at Club Anya was issued by Rachel and she really threw me a curve ball with this one... absolutely no using pattern paper of any kind, you couldn't even stamp your own patterned background! Gasp! I know, I know, I was at a loss too, was it even possible? ;) Well, not being one to back down from a challenge, especially when I've been called out by name, I decided to apply my 'using pattern paper scraps' personal challenge to using up some of my cardstock scraps this time. With my trusty Slice die-cutter in hand I went about cutting out some snowflakes... can I help it if they kinda created a pattern once I glued them down? heeheehee ;) Everything on here is cardstock Rachel, I swear!
And did you see? Did you see? Yep, that's the super duper elusive Elf Anya that the fabulous duo of Erin and Kristina so kindly provided me images of to play with! I LOVE her and will continue to beg and plead for Marie to re-release her so that I can have my very own rubber version of her someday. Ahhhh a girl can dream...
One more thing before I head off to work today, I haven't heard back from the winner of my last Sweet November blog candy yet and I would really like to give it a home SO... if I don't hear from the winner by next Saturday I will be drawing a new winner and announcing her that day. Hopefully we can find Tangle a nice place that isn't cluttering up my ever messy table. ;)
Take care!

I have a friend who loves musicals (and drags me out of the house where I am inclined to hole up, to go to some - she took me to see "Rocky Horror" live last night - fun!!) I have been telling her she needs to watch Glee, and she finally started! Last night she said that was the wrong song for Kuirt - he needs to sing "Popular" but I don't care - I had tears for him when he couldn't hit the note!! :-)Traci

Maxime Nocher (FRA) jumped into second position with a 1-2 score, while Riccardo Leccese (ITA) defends his bronze podium spot.
In the strong women's fleet it was again a battle between leader Steph Bridge (GBR), defending World Champion Erika Heineken (USA) and 17 year old runner up Elena Kalinia (RUS).
The gold fleet was to hit the waters of the Black Sea first, with Nocher showing incredible light wind skills, swapping places with the other light wind specialists Blazej Ozog (POL) and Bridge. The two leaders after the qualifying series struggled with the conditions and Leccese finished in seventh and Gruber in 14th. In the second round of racing conditions had improved to 8-10 knots and the usual battle was on between Bridge, Leccese and Nocher, with Bridge clearly leading the second final series race before crashing shortly in front of the finish line and Nocher catching up fast. Both came to the finish line overlapped, with the better end for Bridge.
A strong performance also from two other Under-18s in the fleet, Mario Calbucci (ITA) scoring a 5-4 and Alexander Bachev (BUL) scoring a 9-5.
In the women's fleet it all comes down to a battle between Bridge, Heineken and Kalinina, after 10 races and the second discard only five points separated them. The forecasted light conditions for Kalinina was opportunity to further close the gap to the two leaders who were only 2.7 points apart. Aga Grzymska (POL, ML) also showed a strong performance in the light winds with a 2-4 score, but is already nine points behind third place.
Racing continues on day 4 with the last day of the men's final series and the last day of the women's single opening series, before the top ten in each fleet will fight for the ultimate podium spots on the final day of the competition in a 4-race-no drop medal series.
Overall standings after 10 races:
1. Oliver Bridge (GBR, North) - 6 pts
2. Maxime Nocher (FRA, North) - 11 pts
3. Riccardo Leccese (ITA, ML/Ozone) - 16 pts
4. Blazej Ozog (POL, North) - 20 pts
5. Florian Gruber (GER, UC/Ozone) - 24 pts
1. Steph Bridge (GBR, North) - 13 pts
3. Erika Heineken (USA, ML/Ozone) - 15.7 pts
2. Elena Kalinina (RUS, TMV/Elf) - 18 pts
4. Aga Grzymska (POL, ML/Ozone) - 27 pts
5. Astrid Berz (SUI, ML/Ozone) - 35 pts

text: While a couple of us were out at Milan Dragway witnessing the taping of "Pinks: All Out" a couple of weeks back we witnessed first hand one of the most amazing spectacles in all of motorsports — jet car drag racing. While we'd seen it before, via YouTube, in places like Saudi Arabia and Australia, and we'd even seen one car head down the dragway from the stands when we were kids, we'd never seen two jet cars race in person before. And we'd most definitely never seen it from 20 feet behind and to the side of the cars. Now you can experience it too via the above video of the flame-spewing action. Oh, and be warned — it's loud. Also, if you didn't get a chance to check out our "Pinks: All Out" action, we've re-posted the gallery below for some not-so-hardcore drag racing action.

A week is a long time in the life of Kilian Jornet and there's rarely much time for rest. Recently back from running up the Americas' highest mountain Aconcagua, he's straight into competing in the Ski Mountaineering World Cup series. The record-breaking ascent of Aconcagua just before Christmas capped an incredible year for the athlete, possibly the most succesful ever, he tells us below.
2014 wasn't a bad year was it!
I think it's been my best trail running season ever. [Kilian finished the trail running season with a hat trick in the World Cup and two gold medals in the world championships. He competed in a total of 14 races of different lengths as well as setting records on Denali 6,168 m and Aconcagua, 6,960 m.]
There were some good races but races with different disciplines. I started the summer with Transvulcania (83 km) and then Zegema Marathon, then it was to ski Denali then some vertical kilometer races, some mountaineering, some trail races... I don't like to specialize in one thing!
It's been a perfect year. I'm pleased about having been able to participate in so many varied races this summer in places with incredible landscapes and where I have met many people. At the end of the day, this is the essence of trail running and what drives me to continue.
So what's next?
I do half a year running, half a year skiing. Ski-mo racing is a much more explosive sport than trail running. Races are much shorter and much more intense. It requires a lot of power! Much more fast but it's good for the muscles.
What's the appeal of ski-mo?
It's fun because it's going up! You suffer! It's really hard because you want to go fast, you have to push, you have to have power to make every step. But ski mountaineering, not just racing, is great: you can go wherever you want. You don't have to follow a trail. You make your own track. It's this feeling of freedom.
You also have your sights on Everest in the spring?
It's too ambitious to say it will be a record attempt. It will be an attempt and then we'll probably come back next spring for the record. The idea is to go the north side where there are more aesthetic lines.
Anything else in your sights?
I have a lot of projects and always have things in the mind. I want to run, I want to be in the mountains. I will keep going out there winning races as that's my life and the thing that I love.
Check out the Suunto Movie of Kilian's record breaking ascent of Aconcagua here.

February 26, 2012 -- Updated 0610 GMT (1410 HKT)
(CNN) -- Marie Colvin, a veteran correspondent who was killed in Syria last week, died trying to get her shoes so she could escape a shelling attack, her paper reported Sunday.
- Marie Colvin was attempting to escape a shelling attack, The Sunday Times reports
- She was killed Wednesday alongside French journalist Remi Ochlik
- Colvin's mother says she believes her daughter was targeted
- Since her death, Colvin's family has started a fund in her honor
Colvin, a New York native, worked for London's The Sunday Times
As is the custom in Syria, she took off her shoes upon entering a building that was serving as a makeshift press center. She was on the ground floor when rockets hit the upper floors, The Sunday Times reported.
Thinking then that the building was a target, Colvin rushed to retrieve her shoes in the hall. A rocket landed just a few yards away, the paper said.
Colvin, 56, was the only British newspaper journalist inside the Homs neighborhood of Baba Amr, was killed alongside French journalist Remi Ochlik in the attack Wednesday.
Her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said aid workers have been trying for days to remove her daughter's body from the war-ravaged country. They tried again Saturday, but ultimately determined that the situation was too dangerous.
Her daughter's body may be buried inside Syria now, she said.
"We were told yesterday that today was probably the last day," the elder Colvin told CNN.
She added that she believes her daughter was deliberately targeted by Syrian government forces.
Remembering Marie Colvin
Colvin's death amid Syria's growing war"They were first in another house, and the top floors there were blown off," she said. "First (the Syrian forces) rocketed the front of the building," she said, fueling suspicion that the attack against a makeshift media center where Colvin and Ochlik were holed up was no accident.
The Syrian government was not immediately available for comment.
The day before she was killed, Colvin had given media interviews to networks like ITN and CNN about the ongoing clashes in Homs, and about a child who was killed in the city.
"The baby's death was just heartbreaking," she told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "We just watched this little boy, his little tummy, heaving and heaving as he tried to breathe. It was horrific. My heart broke."
Colvin reported Tuesday that there was "constant shelling in the city" and that the child's death was "just one of many stories" in violence-wracked Homs. "It's chaos here."
Journalists and activists have been sneaking into Syria in an effort to report on the protests and clashes that have persistently challenged the authority of President Bashar al-Assad.
Colvin said graphic images like that of the dying child, who was reportedly struck in the chest by a piece of shrapnel, needed to be shown.
"Something like that I think is actually stronger for an audience, for someone who's not here, for an audience for which the conflict, any conflict, is very far away. But that's the reality," she said.
The siege of Baba Amr, where 28,000 civilians are "hiding, being shelled, defenseless," Colvin reported, has become a flashpoint of the country's bloody year of violence.
"That baby probably will move more people to think, 'What is going on and why is no one stopping this murder in Homs that is happening everyday?'"
"There are no military targets here," Colvin reported, refuting Syria claims that its forces are only hunting terrorists.
"It's a complete and utter lie," she said of the government's response. "The Syrian Army is basically shelling a city of cold, starving civilians."
A day later, Colvin and Ochlik were killed.
Colvin, a Yale graduate renown for reporting on war's more human consequences, had for years worked in conflict zones and high risk areas, despite losing an eye in 2001 during a grenade attack in Sri Lanka.
Since her death, her family has started a fund in her honor.
"We felt we had to do something so there was a place that people could donate," said family member Michael Colvin.
The Marie Colvin fund is intended to direct resources to charities that her family says she would have supported.
CNN's David Ariosto contributed to this report.

In socialist times managers preferred to put their resources into a large mining workforce and mines were starved of capital investment. As a result, productivity was low. The World Bank has estimated that to remain competitive, the state-run Bosnian coal industry would have to reduce its workforce from 15,000 to 3,000 miners.
The revival, through privatisation, of the Stanari coal mine in the Doboj municipality in Republika Srpska is an example of how the Balkan coal industry could be transformed. Stanari is the first coal mine in Bosnia – and indeed, in the whole Balkans – to have been privatised. In 2004 it was on the brink of collapse, with debts of 5.6m Euros, when the energy trading company, Energy Financing Team (EFT), bought it.
In 2006, the mine was able to extract about 1,600 tonnes of coal per worker, compared to an average of 500 tonnes per worker in other Bosnian coalmines.
In 2007 Stanari's output reached 800,000 tonnes of coal. By 2011, it aims to produce over 3m tonnes a year – this, with just 600 workers.
Vuk Hamovic, the Executive Chairman of EFT explains:
Vuk Hamovic
"With relatively small investments and relatively simple steps we have changed the situation in a mine which has not functioned for years and even stopped working completely over a short time period. Now there are 400 miners who earn twice the average wage in Bosnia per month. So it is a win-win-situation, which has ended well for all."
The largest public sector buyers of Stanari's coal are Bosnia's largest thermal-power plant (TPP) in Tuzla, 80 kilometres from Stanari, and the local heating plant in Doboj. Stanari is also able to fill the gap in the market during the crucial winter months, when state-owned coal mines cannot increase their output. Other major private clients include the paper producer Natron-Hayat in Maglaj, 30 kilometres south of Doboj, and Sisecam, which produces raw materials for glass-making near Tuzla, both recently bought by Turkish investors.
The mine also attracts small entrepreneurs. Hundreds of trucks belonging to private traders from all over Bosnia and from Croatia come directly to Stanari to buy coal. The location of Stanari mine on the inter-entity border-line (the former frontline) in Republika Srspka is no barrier.
In fact, Stanari is also part of a strategy to take advantage of the growing opportunities in the region's electricity market: EFT plans to build a coal-fired thermal-power plant (TPP) at Stanari, to be supplied by the coal mine. The power plant is due to be finished in 2011. As Vuk Hamovic (LINK) explains:
"The TPP […] will produce about 400 megawatts. This means an investment of 700 to 800 million Euros. It will be the largest foreign direct investment in Bosnia. 3,000 workplaces in the construction phase, and 800 jobs when the plant is running, mean a real boost for the whole region."
Already today, new shops and restaurants, banks, and a new basketball court, are signs of an economic boom in Stanari.
The overall collapse of Bosnia's socialist-era heavy industries, the traditional bulk consumers of energy, has opened up opportunities for selling electricity abroad. Bosnia's energy consumption is currently only about 20 percent of the per capita average in Western Europe. At the same time, its geographic location at the centre of the Balkans, as well as its coal reserves and water resources mean that Bosnia is well placed to export large amounts of thermal and hydro-electric power throughout the Balkans. Its potential to dramatically expand its energy production makes it a central player in energy planning in South Eastern Europe.
Thanks to external assistance, as well as changes to its power grid and the three regional power utilities, Bosnia's energy sector already surpassed its pre-war capacity in 2002. The country has 11 large hydropower plants, as well as numerous smaller ones, in addition to four thermal-power plants.
The reconstruction in 2004 of war-damaged transformer stations in the west of the country, Herzegovina, and in neighbouring Croatia, has allowed the reconnection of the Balkan electricity system with the European system (UCTE). In 2004, Bosnia exported more than 2,000 GWh, 17 percent of its total production and the highest share of any country in the region. By 2006 exports reached 2,500 GWh. Bosnia has become, along with Romania and Bulgaria, one of three energy exporting countries in the Balkans.
Stanari coal mine
All other countries in South East Europe depend on energy imports. In 2004, Macedonia imported 16 per cent of its energy needs, and Croatia imported 23 per cent of its energy requirements. A World Bank report on the regional energy trade in South East Europe described the "energy gap" in the region:
"Investment over the past 10-15 years has been limited, with the average age of capacity now in excess of thirty years, and some plants are over forty years old. Capacity availability is poor by international standards and reliability is declining. In poor hydrological years, parts of the region are unable to meet their energy needs, with resultant load shedding."
Stanari is by no means the only major energy investment being planned. A specialist newsletter, "Energy in East Europe", reports no less than twenty eight ongoing or potential energy projects across Bosnia. Investors from Austria and Germany, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic are among those involved.
Bosnia is also a member of the Energy Community of South East Europe, launched in July 2006, which aims to create "a single regulatory space for trade in network energy" in the Balkans. It includes a detailed plan for the implementation of EU directives on energy market liberalisation and regulations on cross-border network access in the Balkans. A liberalised market for all non-household consumers came into effect in Bosnia on 1 January 2008. The prospect of Bosnian energy production making a major contribution to regional growth is moving ever closer to reality.

I'm back at home in Hastings at the moment. Went on the hill near our house with t'family this afternoon and encountered this herd of cows. They are cute! It looks like they are well prepared for the snow with all that hair!

World Health Day may come once a year. But staying in shape should be a priority year round. There's no time like the present to commit to a more active routine and maintain it all-year round.
Here's how you can do it. First, swap those late night fast food binges for some early evening healthy meal. Then, get moving. Use the stairs to get to work, choose a parking spot as far as possible from the building and take regular breaks in order to increase time spent on your feet.
But that's not the real secret to staying fit on the job. You need more. You need to do deskercise! Sneak in these quick moves while you're at your desk to improve circulation, correct posture and keep weight under control.
Chair SquatsThis one is great for your hamstrings, quads and calves. Stand in front of your chair. Bend your knees and lower your butt toward the seat and let it briefly touch the edge of the chair. Stand back up. Do it 15 times.
Chair Leg RaisesStrengthens your lower abdomen. While seated, raise one of your legs. Keep it straight by flexing at the hips. Stop once it is parallel to the floor. Pause for about 10 seconds; then lower it. Do one leg at a time.
Calf RaisesPerformed standing, this will help strengthen your lower legs. Hold on to the back of your chair. Then lift yourself as high as you can on your toes. Hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat.
Shoulder Blade SqueezeSpending too much time hunched over your computer? This is a great move to correct your posture. Stand straight and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Hold for a moment; then roll your shoulders back and down.
Push-UpsPlace both your hands on your desk and walk back to a 45 degrees angle. Press down on your arms, then back up. Do at least 12 pushups daily to strengthen your arms.
Bench PressWith books! Grab the biggest volume you can find and hold it behind your head. Bring it down to your neck; then extend your arms upwards. This is great for your triceps.
This World Health Day, pledge to deskercise more. After all, just because you're at work all day doesn't mean you can't exercise!

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
The readings are telling us so clearly: only the humble person can begin
to understand the work of God in our world and in ourselves. Only when we
are still and silent before the mystery of God are we able to begin to see
God at work in our world.
The Book of Sirach, from which comes the first reading, tells us that What
is too sublime for you, seek not, into things beyond your strength search
not. Today so many of us claim to have the answers to the great challenges
of life. This Sirach wants us to know that we are deluding ourselves.
What we need to do is be still before the Holy Scriptures and allow
ourselves to be formed by the Holy Scriptures. Even then, we must be
humble and accept what the Scriptures say. Far too often we want to
explain away what the Scriptures are telling us and put in their place the
insights of the modern world.
The second reading, from the Letter to the Hebrews, tells us that we will
only know the truth if we are willing to listen to Jesus Christ. It is His
blood that will enlighten us. So many today don't believe at all in Jesus
and would like His teaching eliminated. Yet if we want to know the truth,
it can only be found in Him. In order to know Him and hear Him, we must
humble ourselves and listen.
The Gospel today, from Saint Luke, speaks also to this capacity that we
have to take the lowest place. When we take the lowest place, we might
begin to hear the truth and to live the truth. Instead, we are often
blinded by our own way of thinking, by our insisting that we know more than
others and by our insistence to choose truth rather than to be formed by
the truth of Jesus Christ.
At the heart of the Scriptures we find a clear message: accept Jesus
Christ and walk in His ways. Listen to Him and you will be changed. Live
as He did and you will find a truth that you did not have before. Even
stronger than that: listen to His Church and be formed by His Church
because He Himself has left us the Church as His presence in our world.
My sisters and brothers, the question is simple: are we looking for the
truth in Jesus Christ or are we trying to use Jesus Christ to justify what
we want to do?
Let us reflect today on the word of God and ask the Lord to open our hearts
so that it is truly Jesus that we seek, truly Jesus that we follow and
truly Jesus whom we desire in all.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

New Jersey Dispatch: Going Dutch at a Touch of Dutch and Holland American Bakery
I must admit that Dutch is not New Jersey's most well-known ethnic cuisine. It's not around every corner like Italian or Chinese and doesn't have any major enclaves like Indian or Portuguese. Still, there are plenty of Dutch people here and their two most well-known shops are worth a drive.
And drive you will, because these outposts of Dutch food are in remote places: A Touch of Dutch in Warren County and the Holland American Bakery in Sussex County. Dutch expats and food fans should head right over, and for the rest of us, they're both worth keeping in mind if you're out there hiking, biking or doing farm visits. (The bakery isn't far from Bobolink Dairy, actually.)
A Touch of Dutch is located in one of those small, wood-frame buildings that was put up as a roadside stop before I-80 came through and took all the traffic away. Walk in and you'll find the largest assortment of Dutch import foods in the State. Shelves of groceries, baskets of candies, and a cooler filled with cheese and herring greet you.
And Burt the owner will greet you too. Perhaps he's the best Dutch import of all. Let me put it this way: If you were a casting director and needed to find the archetypal Dutchman, he's the guy you'd go for. When I asked him why he started the place, he told me, "We need our food!" I appreciated his spirit and frankly envy anybody whose needs include three kinds of pickled herring and imported premium butter.
While cheese, herring, and candy are reasons to stop here, it's the run-of-the-mill Dutch grocery items that make the place stand out. If you're Dutch and homesick, you should head over here even if you have to crawl. Roggebrood (rye bread), Vollkornbrot (German rye bread), smeerkaas (cheese spread), and three shelves of Dutch-made Indonesian products should do it. And if that doesn't get you, a package of rusks (twice-baked bread) and some frozen croquettes will.
Burt boasted of being open twenty five years without advertising. Of course, when I questioned him, he admitted that there's no place for him to do it. He does have a website though (atouchofdutchonline.com) and you can order whatever you need through it (and deprive yourself of a pleasant day out in rural Warren County.) One warning though: Burt told me that "the nicest thing about the place is that we're only open three days a week."
The Holland American Bakery is at least easier to find—you can't miss the windmill on the southbound side of Route 23 just south of Sussex. It's been around even longer (since 1954) than Burt's place, and Owen the baker is both the third generation owner and fourth generation at the ovens. He told me that his grandfather brought his great-grandfather over to help him start up and after nine months, he decided he'd seen it all and went back home.
Here it's obvious that you're in an American outpost. Typical rural American Christian radio plays, a faux Dutch storefront gives way to classic American bakery cases, and thermos jugs of self-serve coffee sit on a shelf at one side.
While the Holland American has some imported stuff, the items they make here themselves are the big draw. Check out the boterkoek (butter cake), speculaas (thin, spiced cookies), stollen (fruit cake), and a wide variety of other cookies. If they don't make you cry for your long-lost Dutch home, I don't know what will.
One other similarity is that both shops are filled with what I would politely call "gift items," such as porcelain windmills and miniature klompen—those Dutch wooden shoes. If you have a low tolerance for this sort of stuff, just grab a honey cake and look the other way. One bite and you'll know why you came.
