Drum Set Reviews
Looking for a good price? After searching for ages the best price I found for this set was here online. Check them out!
The Yamaha Oak Custom offers an alternative to the more popular maple and birch made sets out there.
Oak is quite a tough wood and is harder to make drums from, so Yamaha tested out the set on a few professional players before mass producing.
Originally offered in some unsual sizes, for example 13" and 15" floor toms (yikes!), the latest sets are a more standard size.
Included in the review set is a 22"x17" bass drum, 10", 12" and 16" toms, and a 14"x7" snare drum. It's only sold as a shell pack so any hardware you need will have to bought seperately. So, does the Oak Custom sound the business? All in good time my friend, first lets check out the specs...
The toms and snare shells have been made with 6-plies of oak, while the bass drum is a bit thicker at 7-plies. They've all been made using Yamaha's Air Seal System which has helped to make the shells consistent.
Oak is a very hard wood and isn't as easy to mold as maple or birch. But, here Yamaha have done a very good job. Running my hand over the insides of the shells, I couldn't find any imperfections, and the bearing edges have been well cut too. Splendid.
Fixed onto the shells are some small bullet-shaped lugs. These connect with just one bolt to help the shells resonate as much as possible. On top, the heads are fixed in place with 2.3mm triple-flanged DynaHoops which work well and look good.
To hang the toms, Yamaha give you their Enhanced Sustain System (YESS). This attaches to the toms with only two bolts, again the idea is to disprupt the shells as little as possible. The floor tom also uses this system, with the leg clamps connecting to it with two bolts each.
What about the finishes? (I hear you say). Well, there only used to be one finish available for the Yamaha Oak kit - York Honey Amber.
Thankfully, Yamaha have now added three more laquered finishes to choose from - Musashi Black, Red Oak, and Silver Sparkle. It's fair to say that they all look very attractive, and the York Honey Amber review set shone beautifully.
On to the most important question - how does the Oak Custom sound? Well, drums made out of oak are quite unique, so is the sound really unique too? I guess it is a little. The characteristics of oak are it's strong fundamental tone, biting hardness, and wide open sound. It's not as dark sounding as maple, or as bright as birch, but is somewhere in the middle.
The 22"x17" bass drum shows of these good qualities with it's power and definition. There is plenty of body to the sound too, and the low-end isn't lacking. I got a hard powerful boom! Nice.
That power is found in the toms as well. They have a good amount of mid-range presence and have a solid, direct sound. They do have some warmth as well though, and they project well enough to cut through a band.
As for the 14"x7" oak snare drum, all I can say is cracking! There's a nice high-end snap, but the sound of the wood also comes through and warms it up.
Thanks to the hard sound, whatever you throw at it, the drum keeps barking right back at you. And lastly, rim shots really stamp there authority. A very nice drum.
Tuning the Yamaha Oak Custom was not at all difficult, and there are plenty of different sounds that you can get from it. The bass drum and toms have a good range and don't lose there solid sound. The snare is really good too, but the 7" depth better lends itself to medium and lower tunings.
As I said earlier, oak drums are not all that common, with maple and birch leading the way. Does that mean that oak isn't as good for making drums? No way! The Oak Custom proves that oak can make some excellent sounding drums, and has it's own distinctive character. The power and strong tone would suit rock players very well, but the clean, wide open sound is ideal for jazz too.
The toms and bass drum perform very well and have plenty of power. But, the star of the set has to be the snare drum. With a hard and focused bite, it's really the heart of the set.
How does it compare? It's difficult to compare the Yamaha Custom to other sets, simply because there aren't really any other oak sets out there. But, generally comparing it to various wood sets in this price range, i'd say it's well made, sound great, and shouldn't be considered as just an alternative.
Any downsides? There isn't anything really bad to say about the Yamaha Oak Custom. Perhaps the sound isn't as universal as maple or birch, so isn't going to suit all musical styles. But, you can buy a few different shell sizes that gives you many more sound options.
What about the the price? Oak is a reasonably cheap raw material, which means that Yamaha are able to offer this pro quality set at a good price. Where's the cheapest place to buy it? Here's the cheapest site i've found. They usually have the lowest price and sometimes free delivery too, so I recommend checking them out for the best deal!
The final word: oak isn't as popular as maple or birch, but there isn't really any good reason why not. People just haven't caught on yet. The Oak Custom has a distinctive, quality sound. If you want something more unique - check these babies out!

I just hope the final build closely resembles the E3 2012 Demo build.
This is PS3 footage by the looks of it. It's definitely Playstation from button icons but it's all very low res flat textures, with no shadows & no reflections.
Doesn't look bad for PS3 but you can see the lighting has taken a massive hit, it's almost none existent.
This is why ubisoft/watch dogs development team really pisses me off. They wont for some reason release some new official non-camera to screen bullsh*t. The last 2 new gameplays have been like this. WHY????
EDIT: Why do they keep recycling gameplays??? This is the same demo from TGS!

Push is on for Christmas No 1
The Saw Doctors are making a bid for the Irish Christmas number one slot with a cover of Petula Clark's 1960s pop hit Downtown– and what's more, they've even roped the 79-year-old Clark into featuring on the track and in the video. The single will be released on December 16th, in time for the final rush for the top slot.Other tracks making a bid to topple the still-to-be-decided X Factorwinner's dominance of the Christmas Number 1 slot include usual suspects Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber, while The Killers have released The Cowboys' Christmas Ballas their sixth annual charity single.
Irish comedy act Damo and Ivor are also making a bid for the top with their song Thank God it's Christmas. Yet plans are being made and Facebook campaigns launched that could cause an upset, with many pledging their support to push Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spiritinto the top spot.
A campaign urging An Idiot Abroadstar Karl Pilkington to release his version of Chas Dave's Ain't No Pleasin' Youfor charity has also been launched.

She has made or will be making an offer intended to keep Alan Waxenberg at Hearst and "in this company as long as he wants" but clearing the way to naming a new publisher for one of Hearst's richest franchises, Good Housekeeping, under Editor Ellen Levine. Cathie refused to name names (specifically saying of one reported candidate, Diane Olshan, "I've never met her"), but declaring, "My phone has been ringing off the hook. This is the most prestigious job in publishing."
The company's president also said Harper's Bazaar "will turn a profit, a nice profit and not just a few dollars, this calendar year for the first time in a decade." And she gave a vote of confidence to Esquire's embattled Editor Ed Kosner. "We feel very confident he can get Esquire right. Let the younger books like Details fight it out with GQ. I think Ed understands that Esquire is for the more educated, more sophisticated 30 to 40 years olds and he's started reaching out. Just look at that sleeker front of the book.*.*."
I hadn't seen Ms. Black since she took on the top Hearst post in January and now we were lunching at the magazine industry's favorite deli counter, the Grill Room of the Four Seasons in Manhattan, amid such grandees as Charlie Rose, Howard Stringer, Helen Gurley Brown, Mort Janklow and Greg Gumbel, and then later did an on-the-record interview.
She looks good, tall (5 foot 8) and trim ("Yes, I work out"), having found an apartment on Park Ave. and with their Cleveland Park, D.C. house on the block. Cathie has her son and daughter enrolled in Manhattan private schools and once the elections are over, husband Tom Harvey too will be back fulltime in New York. As for the biz, the peace pipe has been smoked with Philip Morris and Kraft and their lead agency, Y&R, and they'll be back in Hearst mags in '97 in a major way with "a trickle" of ads possible this fourth quarter.
As Advertising Age reported last week, Helen Gurley Brown's final issue after 31 years at Cosmopolitan will be published in February and Bonnie Fuller's first as editor in March. February, said Cathie, "will be a 400-page behemoth." Then off goes Helen to oversee international, a boom market according to Ms. Black. "In Russia alone Cosmo sells 400,000 copies, Good House sells 200,000, Harper's bazaar sells 90,000."
What else?
"Ellen [Levine of Good House] is fabulous. We are bonusing a half million copies a month and doing fabulous newsstand. You'll see increased marketability of the Good Housekeeping Institute & Seal, reintroducing them to younger readers and new advertisers." At Redbook, "Kate [White] is doing a great job. She edits for the life she leads with her two small children." Marie Claire will, as reported, go somewhat older, "not 20 to 25 but a median age of 25. It'll be subtle." House Beautiful isn't intimidated by Conde Nast's born-again House & Garden. "It's a big part of our top performers and we're confident. At this point the House & Garden editorial position is not very clear." Bob Vila's American Home "hits the newsstands (in a test) next week. We're having a party for Bob tonight in the garden (of the Hearst HQ building on 8th Ave.). Healthy Living had a quite positive first test and we'll test another issue in February. SmartMoney turns five in the spring and it's making money."
In October Town & Country marks 150 years of publishing. "Pam Fiori is doing a great job. They'll run 253 ad pages, which is larger than the launch issue of George or the new House & Garden or the largest-ever issue of Vanity Fair." On the people side she says of John Mack Carter that his current role "is a great way to maximize his creative ability. He's our own petri dish." As for Bazaar's Liz Tilberis, fighting a cancer now apparently in remission, Cathie said, "I saw her last night at the Saks Fifth Avenue party for Givenchy. She looks terrific."
All this in a turbulent two weeks when Kurt Andersen was fired by New York; Jim Fallows shook up everyone but the elevator operator at U.S. News; Graydon Carter (Vanity Fair) in a refreshingly candid moment admitted to The New York Times he'd begun his new job after only a weekend off because he needed the money for his kids' schools; Conde Nast rented out the whole Four Seasons to celebrate House & Garden; and Time Inc. unveiled a handsome remake of 66-year-old (but currently peppier) Fortune, giving new Editor John Huey center stage to talk about a bigger editorial budget, new trim size (it'll fit now into checkout racks), and an emphasis on personal finance. And the coverboy of the new Fortune? Apt and perhaps symbolic in the "Age of Dick Morris" and other sleazebags, Mike Milken, barefoot in a Jack Kennedy-striding-the-beach-at-Hyannis pose.

Hooray for Hollywood! And for Johnny Mercer. His name may not be as instantly recognizable as Gershwin or Porter or Berlin, but jeepers creepers, you know his music. Think "That Old Black Magic," "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe," "Skylark," "Blues in the Night," "Moon River" and "The Days of Wine and Roses." Indeed, some of the most beloved songs of the 20th century came from the pen of a gap-toothed, Georgia-born lyricist, singer and composer named Johnny Mercer, whose solo and collaborative efforts have kept the world singing for more than eight decades. Now, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth, Turner Home Entertainment gifts us with Johnny Mercer: The Dream's on Me, produced by Clint Eastwood.
This is one nifty documentary: It opens with Eastwood and award-winning film composer John Williams sitting at a piano reminiscing about makes the man and his music. That touchstone begins a loving portrait of the songwriter, told by the many collaborators and performers who brought his songs to life. New and archival interviews join with memorable clips of Mercer's songs by such legendary performers as Ella Fitzgerald, Pearl Bailey, Fred Astaire, Andy Williams, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Dinah Shore, Barbra Streisand, Rosemary Clooney, Lena Horne, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Audrey Hepburn and the Mills Brothers. New renditions of Mercer's work are performed by Audra McDonald, Michael Feinstein and Morgan Eastwood (yes, that's you-know-who's daughter. Nice work if you can get it.)
Among the many stars offering info and insight are Julie Andrews, Tony Bennett, Margaret Whiting and Dame Cleo Laine, Richard Carpenter, Alan Bergman, Rod McKuen, Gene Lees, Richard Sherman, Johnny Mandel and Blake Edwards Archival interviews include Bing Crosby, Jack Lemmon, Henry Mancini, Harold Arlen (interviewed by the late Walter Cronkite) and Mercer's wife, Ginger. The special also features rare interviews and performances by Mercer himself, including television appearances on The Merv Griffin Show. Adding to the Mercer mania: a companion CD released by New Line Records and the stunning (and huge!) coffeetable book, The Complete Lyrics of Johnny Mercer (Knopf, $65), which could, in an emergency, be used as a murder weapon.
Admired and praised by the likes of Irving Berlin and Cole Porter, Mercer has been described as one of this country's greatest folk poets. John Herndon "Johnny" Mercer began his rise to fame as a singer/songwriter for legendary jazz conductor Paul Whiting. In 1935, he began working in Hollywood writing songs and occasionally appearing in small musical roles. Throughout his career, he wrote songs for nearly 100 films, picking up 16 Oscar nominations and four wins.
His more than 170 collaborators include Richard Whiting ("Hooray for Hollywood"), Harry Warren ("Jeepers Creepers" and "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe"), Hoagy Carmichael ("Lazybones" and "Skylark"), Jerome Kern ("I'm Old Fashioned"), Harold Arlen ("Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive," "Blues in the Night," "That Old Black Magic" and "One For My Baby"), Henry Mancini (the Academy Award-winning songs "Moon River" and "The Days of Wine and Roses"), Johnny Mandel ("Emily") and John Williams ("The Long Goodbye"). When we last counted, Mercer had penned some 1,000 tunes.
In addition to his musical creativity, Mercer co-founded Capitol Records in 1942. He persuaded a number of stars to record on the label, including Jo Stafford, Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Nat King Cole, Stan Kenton and his former boss, Paul Whiteman. When once asked how he wrote, he said: "Usually a title or simple idea comes first, and then the rest of the words just seem to fall into place. Writing music takes more talent, but writing lyrics takes more courage. It's all as easy as chopping up ten cords of wood per day!"Mercy Mercer!

Expectations of a second round of asset-buying, or quantitative easing, implemented by the Federal Reserve are nothing but good news for the stock market, Simon Maughan, co-head of European equities at MF Global, told CNBC.
Investors shouldn't be concerned about trading near technical highs because "quantitative easing will take them through those," he added.
The minutes from the Fed's September meeting released Tuesday have some investors worried about the effects of a new policy to support the U.S. economy.
"The committee will continue to monitor the economic outlook and financial developments and is prepared to provide additional accommodation if needed," the report said.

The American Trucking Assns. filed an amicus brief Feb. 24 with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in support of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's defense of electronic logging devices.
"ATA supports the use of electronic logging devices, which have demonstrated the ability to improve carriers' compliance with FMCSA's hours-of-service regulations," ATA president & CEO Bill Graves said. "With this filing, we urge the court to reject the calls to prevent fleets from using these powerful compliance tools."
FMCSA's rules governing the voluntary use of electronic logging devices to record hours-of-service data are being challenged by a group that successfully overturned the agency's proposal to mandate electronic logging for carriers with egregious hours-of-service violations.
"Thousands of responsible, safety-minded truck fleets throughout this country voluntarily use this technology to ensure their drivers are complying with federal hours-of-service requirements," Graves said. "The court should dismiss this challenge and reaffirm the longstanding authorization to voluntarily use electronic logging devices while FMCSA works toward addressing questions about a future, wider mandate for their use."
In August 2011 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled in favor of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Assn. in its review of the FMCSA's EOBR mandate, effectively vacating the final rule issued in April 2010 that required carriers demonstrating a 10% or greater violation rate for certain HOS regulations during a single compliance review to install EOBRs in all of their commercial motor vehicles and use them for two years. The compliance date for this rule would have been June 4, 2012.
On Feb. 13, 2012, FMCSA published a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) announcing its plan to proceed with the electronic onboard recorders and hours of service supporting documents rulemaking.
The objectives of the SNPRM are to determine and propose technical standards for an EOBR, address driver harassment issues, propose requirements for retaining hours-of-service supporting documents, and provide clarification and request further comments on several of the aforementioned proposals. In order to collect the comprehensive data needed to support the SNPRM, FMCSA will hold public listening sessions; work with its Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee (MCSAC); and use driver, carrier, and vendor surveys to obtain all the stakeholder information needed to discuss issues involving driver harassment.

Selling old mobile phone could help users buy 'impressive Android handset'
Old mobile phones could be replaced with a new hybrid device from Dell for the ultimate communications experience.
Although the iPad was only launched last month, the Dell Streak already combines the tablet format of the Apple device with the features of a smartphone, offering a five-inch touchscreen and Wi-Fi connectivity.
According to Flora Graham, technology expert at Cnet.com, the Streak is "the best Android tablet yet" and could get better once the 2.2 version of the operating system is implemented later in the year.
"Unlike the iPad, the Streak doesn't feel like a pack of A4 paper that's come to life. It feels more like a very, very big phone, in the same way that the HTC HD2 did," she explained.
The Dell Streak features a five-megapixel camera, high-speed processor and built in Wi-Fi and is available exclusively through O2.

Little has gone according to plan in this young Bulls season.
Linton Johnson stole Trenton Hassell's spot on a supposedly set roster. Four blowout losses flew in the face of preseason playoff optimism.
And on Saturday night, seven games into a season perilously close to slipping away, coach Bill Cartwright replaced Jalen Rose and Jamal Crawford in the starting lineup.
In an effort to shake up his lethargic team whose losses have been by an average of 27 points, Cartwright started Kirk Hinrich and Eddie Robinson against Tim Floyd's five.
And the Bulls responded with a passionate effort in a 109-106 victory over the Eastern Conference-leading Hornets.
Crawford blocked Baron Davis' shot with 26.6 seconds left and Hinrich split a pair of free throws with 14.2 seconds to play for a 109-106 lead. Rose then blocked David Wesley's three-pointer at the buzzer.
Rose responded with 34 points as the Bulls shot an NBA-season-high 59.4 percent. But an upset Rose afterward deemed himself "a scapegoat" and felt disrespected by Cartwright's move.
Donyell Marshall shook off a bruised left leg to score 22 points in 44 minutes. And Crawford added 14 points and six assists.
Davis' 35 points and 13 assists led New Orleans.
Both Crawford and Rose played the entire fourth quarter, when the Bulls led by as many as 13 points. But Crawford, like Rose, was upset that he didn't start and said, "The writing is on the wall" in reference to his future with the Bulls.
Rose's demotion sent the biggest shockwaves, prompting a look of disbelief from Davis when the two chatted briefly during pregame warmups.
The nine-year veteran had started 323 straight games, including 118 with the Bulls, and hadn't come off the bench since May 4, 1999, when he played for Indiana.
"That first group is not giving us anything," Cartwright said. "It's not the same focus. And if they're not going to give it to us, we'll go somewhere else. Simple as that. And we'll keep searching until we find a group that is going to get us out of the gates."
The move paid dividends right away as Robinson and Gill supplied first-quarter energy and Crawford and Rose entered focused and fired up. Gill had eight of his 12 points in the first quarter.
Crawford hit his first two shots, including a halfcourt heave at the first-quarter buzzer. Rose hit his first six shots and had 15 points by halftime, when the Bulls led 54-53.
Hinrich, playing just his second NBA game, turned the ball over nine times in 27 minutes.
Crawford entered with team-high averages of 17.2 points and five assists. He also entered having taken 19 more shots than anyone on the team.
"Yeah, definitely, I'm shocked," Crawford said. "It can't be just one reason why we're losing. It has to be a combination of things. It's not like I go out there thinking of leading the team in scoring."
Cartwright prefers his point guards to be distributors first.
"One individual is not more important than this team," Cartwright said. "We have to do whatever we have to do as coaches to win basketball games. It's not personal against anybody. Someone has to sacrifice some shots."
The Hornets were trying to avoid an emotional letdown after beating the Lakers on Friday.
The Bulls dealt with their emotional letdown by playing well without Tyson Chandler, who remained in Chicago. An MRI test on his sore back turned up nothing and Chandler expects to play Monday.
Stay tuned for the starting lineup.

Really interesting interracial video of two stunning babes in action. Playing it slow paced is really amazing to see. First they start off with a little candle tease, after which it gets a very horny as they start kissing and touching each other. Eventually turning they attention to each others love holes and that is a must watch in this video.

Maryland's Striped Bass Advisory Board met Monday evening in Annapolis to review briefly a decision by the Department of Natural Resources on the spring striped bass season and begin work on the regulation for the fall season.
The DNR has decided to go with a 17-day spring striped bass season beginning May 11 and ending May 27.
Anglers will be permitted one striped bass, or rockfish, 36 inches or larger (per person) during the 17-day season. All striped bass fishing must be below the Bay Bridge.
The draft regulation still requires Atlantic State Marine Fishery Commission and Administrative Executive Legislative Review Committee approval.
A DNR representative said he does not anticipate problems receiving this approval because the proposal was within the commission's guidelines. He also said that the spring season harvest will have no impact on the allocation for the fall season.

Here we have my trusty Yamaha Pacifica 112L left handed Electric guitar. It's a Fender Strat copy but widely recognised as one of the best starter "strat-style" electrics, being higher quality than some of the alternatives. This one is in a natural satin finish, with a cream scratchplate and controls. I've never had it professionally set up but it played pretty well from day one and has remained rock-solid since. This guitar stays in tune for months at a time! I'm including a padded gig bag in the sale.All of the coils and pickups work fine, and the coil selector and volume/tone controls are likewise fine. I'm selling all of my guitars to make way for a Martin acoustic and will be sorry to see this one go. THIS IS A DELICATE AND SERIOUS MUSICAL INSTRUMENT AND I WILL NOT POST IT - COLLECTION IN PERSON ONLY PLEASE - check out my feedback. Thanks for looking and .

Types of Review and Scale of Fees
The Urban Vision Design Review Service includes a site visit for every review done by the Panel. This ensures that before making comments and giving advice the Panel is aware of the physical context of each development proposal it considers. As a result the Panel's advice is informed, relevant and up-to-date.
The Panel's comments and recommendations are summarized in a written report which is issued within five working days of the Panel meeting. The report is sent to the architect, client or developer.
Design review involves convening a panel of four or five expert professionals, so there is a set-up cost for the first review but the cost of a second and a third review on the same day can be reduced, because the set-up cost can be shared. Our design review charges reflect that as follows:
Full Panel
1 review - £1,800 plus VAT
2 reviews - £2,425 plus VAT (£1,210 for each scheme)
3 reviews - £3,050 plus VAT (£1,015 for each scheme)
The second and third review fees are for schemes reviewed on the same day. If we have to convene a separate full panel meeting on a different day, we would have to start again at £1,800 plus VAT for the first review.
Urban Vision does offer a more cost-effective option for schemes which are of modest scale and do not have special complexities: the "Panel of 2" option. This is only available for the more straightforward cases and involves 2, rather than 4 or 5 panel members. All other aspects are the same.
Schemes suitable for a Panel of 2 include proposals involving a single building where there are no special policy considerations, such as conservation area designation.
Panel of 2
1 review - £1,500 plus VAT
2 reviews - £2,125 plus VAT (£1,065 for each scheme)
3 reviews - £2,750 plus VAT (£915 for each scheme)
Again the second and third review fees are for schemes reviewed on the same day. If we have to convene a separate Panel of 2 meeting on a different day, we would have to start again at £1,500 plus VAT for the first review.
Please note we are currently revising our Design Enabling service. These prices are correct for any schemes considered up to the 30th June 2018. Schemes beyond this date may be subject to the revised costs, please contact the office for further details.

E.max press ceramic and zirconia crowns
If the tooth is decayed or fractured too badly to be repaired with fillings or inlays, or if the tooth needs to be a pillar for a bridge, a crown must be made for the tooth. The e.max press ceramic crowns represent the highest aesthetic level, they surpass the ceramic fused to metal crowns in this aspect – they allow the light to pass through them in a similar way to natural teeth and there is no metal in contact with the gingiva. This crown type is the most demanded by our patients, due to its aesthetic properties. It can also be safely used for patients who suffer from metal allergies. They are made mostly for teeth in the anterior region due to their natural light-reflecting abilities. The only downside to the e.max crowns is the fact that they cannot be used for bridging long gaps - if this is neccessary we solve the problem using zirconia bridges (which are manufactured by computer). Zirconia is not quite as beautiful as the e.max but still more aesthetic than the porcelain fused to metal crowns.
Porcelain fused to metal crowns
The ceramic (porcelain) fused to metal crown is a relatively cheap, aesthetic and resilient type, thus we use this for most crown preparations in the back region, on molar teeth. We have eliminated the metal alloys containing nickel, and using cobalt-chrome alloys instead, thus eliminating possible allergic reactions. For the maximal aesthetic effect, instead of the usual metal margin our technicians cover this part with special shoulder-ceramic, to prevent the appearance of the unpleasant "gray gingiva" effect.
Shoulder tooth preparation
To make room for the crown, 1-2 mm of the tooth enamel must be removed – this is made under local anesthesia, being a totally painless procedure. The teeth are prepared in the currently best technique available, according to the international professional literature, with the making of a shoulder – thus the margins of the crown will not end in a thin metal margin cutting into the gingiva and retaining food, causing caries of the tooth, but the crown will fit perfectly into the shoulder, being in the same level as the tooth surface – providing cleanability and a gingiva free of inflamation. This insures the longevity of the restoration and the health of the underlying teeth.Our patients always receive provisional crowns during the time they have to wait for the preparation of the actual crown by the technician, after the imprint taking, for minimizing pain, preserving vitality of the teeth and for aesthetic considerations.
Ceramic veneers
The thin ceramic veneers are bonded to the front teeth, for aesthetic reasons, to improve mild discolorations and deviations in form. Usually 0,5 mm of enamel must be removed from the surface of the teeth to make room for the veneer, but in some cases these can be glued to the surface of the enamel without preparation.
The inlays, onlays and overlays are in fact fillings prepared by the technician in his laboratory based on an imprint of the patient's tooth. This will be bonded afterwards into the previously prepared cavity. We recommend using these especially for changing big amalgam fillings, as well as rebuilding teeth that are destroyed beyond repair with normal fillings but not yet in need of full crowns. Using overlays we protect the thinned cusps and walls of the tooth, thus protecting them from cracks and ultimately from breaking. The dental inlays made by Belle-Glass are a mix of ceramic and composite, benefiting from both components, gaining the strength of the ceramic and the elasticity of the composite. E.max ceramic inlays are also available for areas where high resistance is needed, and high colour-stability.
Teeth whitening
With time certain comestibles (tea, red wine, coffee, fizzy soft drinks), smoking, drugs, injuries and ageing can discolour the teeth. Depending on the discolouration and the sensitivity of the teeth, after professional cleaning we either bleach on the spot (for about 45 minutes, using the ZOOM bleaching technique), or the patient receives a splint that will hold the bleaching material that must be worn at home for a few hours every day, for 5 consecutive days. During the bleaching period colouring comestibles must be avoided, as well as consuming acidic drinks, which can cause sensitivity of the teeth. The Zoom whitening keeps the teeth white for up to 10 years, while in the case of the splint technique the procedure should be repeated every year for optimal result.
Dental jewels
The increasingly popular dental jewels are glued with a special adhesive to the surface of the tooth, without harming it in any way. In this way, if the patient would like to change or remove them, they are easily taken off by the dentist. The procedure lasts 15 minutes and the dental jewels usually stay on the tooth for about 6 months.

Medical respite care is acute and post-acute medical care for homeless
persons who are too ill or frail to recover from a physical illness or
injury on the streets but who are not ill enough to be hospitalized.
Unlike "respite" for caregivers, "medical respite" is short-term
residential care that allows homeless individuals the opportunity to rest
in a safe environment while accessing medical care and other supportive
services. These programs are housed in a variety of settings including freestanding facilities, homeless shelters, nursing homes, and transitional housing. Medical respite care meets the post-hospital recuperative care needs for people who are homeless while reducing public costs associated with frequent hospital utilization.
For more information on projects in a specific area, contact our Regional Office.

Dodgers' Prokopec Off Disabled List
ATLANTA (AP) _ Luke Prokopec came off the disabled list Saturday as Los Angeles Dodgers manager Jim Tracy tapped him to start against the Atlanta Braves.
Reliever Al Reyes was designated for assignment to make room for Prokopec, who was placed on the 15-day DL with a blister on his right middle finger Aug. 9.
Dodgers ace Kevin Brown said he would return to the rotation in Los Angeles on Tuesday when the team faces the Colorado Rockies.
On the DL since July 18 with a severe sprain in the flexor muscle of his right elbow, Brown threw 80 pitches in a mound session on Saturday. The right-hander is 8-4 with a 2.95 ERA in 15 games, 14 of them starts.
Brown also had a mound session at Florida when he made 50 pitches on Tuesday. He followed that with a 70-pitch session on Thursday.
Prokopec, 6-6 with a 4.69 ERA, was making his 21st start. Reyes went 2-1 with a 3.10 ERA in 15 relief appearances.

Here's a little painting I did this week of a goblin guard who fell asleep on his watch. I like the general atmosphere and I don't feel too many weird errors have crept in. The rats are my favourite( as always) not only because I like rats but because it was so easy. Didn't even do a sketch or something I just painted it on. Not something I would do normally but after having had rats for several years I feel pretty comfortable with them. The lantern is another matter. At one point it looked more like a medieval disco or a lowtech Tardis or something. It's not that bad anymore but still….. I left the background pretty simple and I'm happy with that decision. One thing I didn't do but might add later on are the ropes holding the wood of the pallisade together.
On another note, my scanner likes me! I didn't have to change anything! So happy.

Merchant of Menace
Merchant of Menace
When a pound of flesh is never enough.
Welcome to the Merchant of Menace campaign. The campaign uses the System Reference Documents v3.5 rules and the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer campaign setting. This excellent map of Greyhawk has a scale of 30 miles per hex. This Greyhawk calendar highlights important days including lunar cycles.
Spoiler Alert
The campaign is based upon the following modules The Sunless Citadel, The Forge of Fury, The Speaker in Dreams, Heart of Nightfang Spire, Deep Horizon, Lord of the Iron Fortress & Bastion of Broken Souls. It will also incorporate the Istivin City of Shadows modules found in Dungeon Magazine 117-119.
It doesn't matter if players have played the modules before since the main NPCs are given specific motivations and actively pursue those agendas to the best of the abilities they have. This includes improving defenses, recruiting more allies, and actively attacking opponents. The result is that while the personalities and overall plot lines may be recognizable, the adventures are all highly altered. The spoiler warning is merely for anyone who might not want to read details of a module they intend to play in.
The envisioned campaign will be a blend of action and light immersion role playing, with multiple player parties interacting within the same campaign setting. Ideally PCs will be looking to build temples, guilds, frontier towns, kingdoms and otherwise take leadership roles since I would like the campaign to continue through to Epic possibly even Divine levels. Player versus player intrigues and combat are expected to happen as the game progresses, especially at higher levels.
A timeline of events for the major plots are already worked out with a general rule of thumb being that PCs should advance approximately 1 level per month of game play to be at the appropriate level for the associated modules. If PCs advance faster or slower than this rate the timeline will not be altered so it is possible for players to get involved in adventures that are very easy or too tough for them. Players are not restricted to following the modules and can pursue their own agendas however the timeline is such that the major villains are destined to grow in power and dominate the region if not thwarted by PCs. PC actions will alter some aspects of the timeline by slowing down or aiding the antagonists based upon their actions.
I am targeting 12 players and I already have 5 players who have been playing for about a month of game time already. Check out the adventure logs to see the story so far as told by various NPCs.
I am currently in the process of migrating over to RPTools which I intend to use both for face-to-face sessions and for gaming sessions with remote players. Check out this video to see RPTools in action.
Obsidian Portal will be used for keeping track of game events and providing campaign info to the players.

This is Eurojusts current logo design. To me, it looks very tacky and almost as if it was done on MS Paint. The typeface does fit with the illustrations, however I wouldn't particularly say that that is a good thing, as the illustrations are quite poor. The colours used do, however, work successfully together. The yellow and blue are there as they are the colours of the European flag, although I'm not sure the reason behind the red box. One of Eurojusts competition requirements is to include the European stars on the flag, meaning my own design would probably be most successful if I stick to the colours yellow and blue.
Logo design.
Before beginning my own logo design process, I thought it would be beneficial to look into logo designs that already exist for big corporations. Below is the logo design for Avivo. Avivo is an independant branding and creative technology company. Their logo design is very successful and the icon fits incredibly well with the typeface. Their colour scheme also seems to be fluent with the rest of their identity, although their website is currently under maintenance. This logo is successful as it can be used as both a text and image logo, but also just an image and it is still recognisable.
Below is the logo design for a website entitled 'Acapo', which is a business that focuses on design, trademarks and IP strategy. Their logo design is recognisable, slick and efficient. It's very memorable and works very successfully on their website. Their colour scheme is quite earthy tones, which is successful as the business they specialise in is quite a stressful environment, and therefore their logo design and website have a calming effect.
This logo design is for a company entitled 'newwave' and was designed by George Bokhua. The design is very successful as the name relates perfectly to the design - as the wave is shown between the 'w' on the word 'new' and the 'w' on the word 'wave'. This is also made apparent with the use of colour, as both letterforms are the colour blue. It's a symbolic logo design, and it's very effective - although I can't find anywhere what the logo was designed for.
I found this logo design on DesignInspiration.net. I think it's really successful as it uses the negative space in between the letterforms 'O' and 'R' to create a lightning bolt symbol. The typeface used is a sans serif and is very bold. It works very successfully with the thinner typeface used below. It works well displayed on the black background with the texture.

Trump Announces 22 Veterans Groups to Receive $6 Million Raised at Iowa Rally
Twenty-two groups supporting veterans will split the more than $6 million raised Thursday night at a rally organized by Donald Trump in Des Moines, Iowa, according to a statement released by Trump after the event. The rally was hastily organized by Trump to compete with Republican presidential debate held at the same time over perceived mistreatment of Trump by debate host Fox News.
Veteran John Wayne Walding speaks at the Trump for Veterans rally. Image via YouTube.
Trump announced he was donating $1 million on top of $5 million in similar and somewhat smaller sized donations from friends and supporters of Trump, including online donations that brought the total to over $6 million. A website set up by Trump Thursday morning, DonaldTrumpforVets.com to accept online donations stated $570,000 had been raised via the website as of Thursday night. The donations were being collected by the Donald J. Trump Foundation for disbursement to the veterans groups.
Four of the groups are based in Iowa: The Mulberry Street Veterans Shelter, Projects for Patriots, Puppy Jake and Support Siouxland Soldiers.
The list of the groups with details can be found here. Below is the list with just the links.

Smart label can indicate product freshness, says developers
Source of Article: http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/Packaging/Smart-label-can-indicate-product-freshness-says-developers
By Jane Byrne, 11-Feb-2009
A 'smart' barcode for food packaging can inform consumers and retailers whether refrigerated food products such as chicken, milk and beef are no longer fresh, says the development team.
Smart packaging including freshness and time-temperature indicators (TTIs) for use in supply chains for foods that are highly temperature sensitive is a growing trend.
The University of Rhode Island (URI) said the system was developed by a partnership of two URI chemistry professors and the food safety company, SIRA Technologies.
Invisible ink
According to the development team, the barcode label is based on the employment of an ink that is nearly invisible, but which turns red when the food is contaminated, with the change in colour on the barcode preventing the product from being scanned at the checkout counter.
The labelling thus establishes an irreversible, untamperable, archived signal in any applicable database, claims the team.
Project history
URI researchers, Brett Lucht and William Euler, explained that they began studying thermochromic pigments, those that change colour at certain temperatures, a decade ago when a cookware company sought a polymer that could be added to its products to make them change colour when they were too hot to touch.
They added that they later modified their discovery into an irreversible polymer – one that does not revert to its original colour after changing - and this appealed to SIRA Technologies in terms of its potential for food safety.
While there are other thermochromic indicators on the market, said Lucht, they are expensive and they lack the archival feature required by regulatory agencies to track and trace products on a global scale.
He said that this new colour changing barcode is cost effective at four cents per label.
Intelligent packaging drivers
Smart packaging, in particular electronic labelling, will provide added value packaging to enable food and drink companies enhance their existing brands with multiple promotion, safety, security and entertainment features, claims consultancy IDTechex.
The company predicts that e-labels and associated e-packaging will become a new growth market, with strong demand for electronic labels that present information more clearly.
Peter Harrop, IDTechex chairman, said that printed electronics are also emerging that will engage more of the human senses: "Future labels will be able to sense when a consumer is near and emit an aroma such as coffee to encourage them to purchase the product."
He added that the next generation printed electronics will also include reusable, reconfigurable and programmable labels, some of which are responsive and interactive such as moving colour pictures.
Mass usage needed
However, Harrop notes that e-labels will only succeed if economy of scale is achieved by defining standard products acceptable across many applications and industries and if most people can use them, from children to the sick and elderly: "Otherwise the price of the e-labels will be too high for mass usage."
IDTechex is carrying out research into this new technology in order to establish common needs across industries, gain economy of scale and make the products affordable, he added.


text: When it was originally published in 1970, The Methods and Materials of Demography, a collaborative effort from Henry Shryock and Jacob Siegel, contained 888 pages, 25 chapters and four appendices. The book systematically delineated and illustrated the practice of applying demographic data to understand modern societal trends. Original author Jacob S. Siegel has now teamed with a new collaborator, David A. Swanson, in updating the definitive demography bible. The Second Edition reflects changes in both technology and the global landscape in the 30 years that have passed, and now includes a chapter on health demography. Its sections outline the logical architecture of the science and its presentation, and the tone remains didactic and simple, assuming little prior technical knowledge. For instance, in the Population Size chapter by Janet Wilmoth, the question of Evidence of a Person states: In addition to questions of whether certain classes of people are to be included in the national census count, and where a particular person should be counted, problems arise in actual practice as to whether there is sufficient evidence of a person. Elsevier Academic Press is the publisher.

Women's Golf: The Babe, The Queen Bee and Who's Coming in Second
That's Babe with a capital B, and the Babe in question... the one everyone wants to emulate... is the legendary Babe Zaharias.
Now there's a contemporary golfer who's actually achieving those aspirations.
With her US Women's Open win yesterday, on the undulating greens of Sebonack Country Club, Inbee Park reached a level of... well, Babedom... that hasn't been seen since 1950.
Like the iconic Mrs. Zaharias did in the mid-20th century, the 24 year-old Korean has won the season's first three majors. If Park wins next month at the Ricoh Women's British Open she'll actually be able to best the Babe by winning the season's fourth major.
Mind you, there were only three majors back in 1950. Had there been more, The Babe would have had them in her sights and I suspect she'd have won them. One of her best known quotes, reflects the confidence that would likely have taken her there: "The Babe's here, who's coming in second?"
At Sebonack fellow players spoke about Park's performance with amazement. Brittany Lincicome went so far as to say it seemed she was, "...playing a different golf course," and Paula Creamer asked, "What are you going to do when you go against someone that hot?"
I have a feel next month at The Old Course in St. Andrews I'm guessing we might hear that famous Babe Zaharias quote adapted for the 21st Century: "The Queen Bee is here, who's coming in second?"

China is already one of the biggest players in the global satellite launch industry and is making final preparations for its first manned space flight which could take place as soon as next month.
"China will help Galileo to become the major world infrastructure for the growing market for location services," said EU transport commissioner Loyola de Palacio.
China will invest 230m euros ($259m; £160m) in the Galileo satellite tracking system, roughly a fifth of the expected cost of building the 1.1bn euros network of 30 satellites.
Rivalry in space
The EU is developing Galileo to provide an alternative to the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS), which is favoured by the Pentagon.
The European Space Agency and China's Ministry of Science and Technology have also set up a joint training centre for satellite navigation based at Beijing University, was officially opened on Friday.
The joint agreement to develop Galileo covers co-operation in satellite navigation, technology, manufacturing, market development, as well as regulatory issues such as flight frequency and certification, the EU's statement said.
Eventually China's involvement in Galileo could lead to it tailoring its military as well as civilian satellite technology for use in the system, analysts believe.
"The point is that if a country opts for Galileo, it will too for defence systems that are compatible with Galileo," the Financial Times quoted an EU diplomat involved in the development of Galileo as saying.
Security concerns
The paper reported EU officials as saying that China was mainly interested in the top end of the Galileo system, or Public Regulated Service (PRS), which is used by the police and security services.
PRS is also expected to play a role in the development of future military co-ordination capabilities.
The United States has security worries about the development of Galileo.
GPS, like the Russian Glonass system, is a military-run network and can be downgraded or taken offline if an enemy attempts to use the data to launch guided missiles, for example.
By contrast, Galileo will be a civilian-run operation that will be guaranteed in all but the direst circumstances so services that are safety-critical - landing planes, for example - can rely on the data.

Premier Brad Wall is paying close attention to a potential merger between Agrium and PotashCorp. of Saskatchewan.
On Tuesday, Potash Corp. and Calgary-based Agrium confirmed they are in preliminary merger talks.
Both companies issued statements confirming the news after their shares were halted on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
They said no agreement has been reached and there is no assurance any transaction will result from these discussions.
Wall has already spoken with the head of PotashCorp, the world's largest fertilizer company by capacity, and said he wants to ensure jobs and revenues are protected.
"We would want to see Saskatchewan's interests protected and furthered frankly, if there is to be a merger," Wall maintained. " Those interests are jobs and taxes paid."
Agrium is based in Calgary, but Wall hopes a new head office could be based in Saskatchewan.
"We would view this potentially, if it were to come to fruition, as an opportunity to perhaps pursue an even greater corporate presence in Saskatchewan on the part of a newly-merged entity if in fact that were to occur."
In 2010, Wall came out against a hostile takeover of PotashCorp. by Australian mining giant BHP Billiton.
The federal government scuttled the deal under foreign ownership regulations.
Those regulations don't apply for this potential merger because Agrium and PotashCorp. are both based in Canada.
After the BHP Billiton event, PotashCorp. pledged to remain a good corporate citizen in Saskatchewan, promising to return its head office to the province, increase it's aboriginal workforce and play a philanthropic role in the province.
Wall expects that pledge to continue if any merger were to happen.
Before the companies' shares were halted, PotashCorp. stock had climbed $2.40 or 11.48 per cent to $23.30 on the day and Agrium was up $8.28 or 7.1 per cent to $124.81.
The rise in share prices made PotashCorp. worth $19.6 billion and Agrium worth $17.4 billion, creating the potential for a $37 billion agricultural giant.
The merger talks come as the fertilizer industry struggles with a steep drop in prices in recent years following a ramp-up in production and the breakup of a Russia-Belarusian potash trading cartel in 2013.
Potash producers have responded to the price drop by cutting production, with PotashCorp going so far as to shutter its recently opened Picadillymine in New Brunswick in January, putting 430 people out of work.
The industry has looked for consolidation in the past, with PotashCorp. pushing for a US$8.7 billion takeover of K+S Group last year that was rebuffed by the German fertilizer group.
The Saskatchewan government formed PotashCorp. in 1975 as a Crown corporation.
The company was privatized in 1989.
Agrium, a major producer of agricultural products including potash, was founded in 1931.

Just wanted to say I enjoyed the article on the development of the various trail networks in Vermont. It was a decent read.
Seems like there is a lot of momentum building for mtn biking in VT.
I own a house near Sunday River and wish there was as much buzz about mountain biking/trail building as Vt has. That being said, Sunday River itself is doing a decent job with the downhill side of things and there is a new parcel in Bethel that is in the planning stages of trail development.
Congrats to riders in VT, nice effort.

Ali started making jewelry ten years ago when she struggled to find the simple, quirky, reasonably priced jewelry she wanted. Soon, her focus turned to using reclaimed materials, both because it was eco-friendly and for its creative challenge.

Port of Tenerife Passenger Lists
Tenerife is the largest and most populous island of the seven Canary Islands; it is also the most populated island of Spain. Between 1833 and 1927 Santa Cruz de Tenerife was the sole capital of the Canary Islands, until in 1927 a decree ordered that the capital of the Canary Islands is shared with the Las Palmas, as it remains at present.
Tenerife has two principal maritime ports: the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Puerto de Santa Cruz), which serves the various capitals of the Canary Islands, especially those in the west; and the Port of Los Cristianos (Puerto de Los Cristianos), which serves the various island capitals of the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The first port also has passenger services, which connect with the mainland port of Cádiz (and vice versa).

Heroes In The Making
The year is 1900 A.G.WThe Three kingdoms have finally been able to share a time of peace among the great land of "Terra." Its been three hundred years since the Great War that nearly destroyed the land. The Great War, as most scholars theorize, happened when "The Council of Deus" had stumbled upon "The Ark Of The Relinquo." They sought to unify the lands by making everyone become one, and force them to join the council or face to see the horrors that the ark held. Many kingdoms held strong and refused to join the council, but as many rebelled Just as many conformed

Arctic Monkeys: V Festival used Rihanna as bait to make us play
Rihanna's appeal to the opposite sex seems to have no end, with the Arctic Monkeys claiming she was part of the draw of playing at this year's V Festival.
The Sheffield four-piece will be taking to the stage on August 20th at Hylands Park and August 21st at Weston Park after Brit singer Plan B.
But in an interview with NME they revealed they were originally lured to the event on the promise of playing after Rihanna, who will actually be performing on the alternate day alongside Eminem .
Frontman Alex Turner joked: 'We were under the impression that we were playing after Rihanna. That were a draw. They duped us.'
Bandmate Matt Helders then chimed in, saying: 'They used her as bait.'
The group are likely to overcome their disappointment, however, as they told the publication they have never even attended the festival before.
Also lined up to perform at this year's V festival are Dizzee Rascal, Manic Street Preachers, Jessie J, Ellie Goulding and Tinie Tempah.
Arctic Monkeys' new album Suck It and See was released on Monday (June 6th), but the title was causing controversy in the US before it hit shelves, with some supermarkets claiming they would be placing stickers over the name.

The month of July was a fast, furious, and hot month! We had lots of fun & we were able to relax a little among the go, go, go of all that took place! It was exciting having suprise visitors from Indiana (I recommend calling first!), having a planned visitor from Indiana, and visiting Indiana all in one month! The air conditioner hummed most of the month and our sandels were a staple at the door. The pool bags were well used as we tried to relax and beat the heat by swimming as often as possible! Then came August 1st. It is a realization that school soon begins again. Harvest is just around the corner and summer fun is soon over.
I enjoy summer alot. I always have. I usually feel some disappointment when it's over. This year is tough for a couple of reasons. Having just been to Indiana, we visited family, moved our daughter, and brought back things of my moms. While sorting to determine where to put those things in our apartment, I came across letters from Vietnam from my real dad. There were post cards from him to me and some to my mom. There were Western Union telegrams from his commander when he was injured in battle. Copies of telegrams mom sent to determine his health status. It was all a bit emotionally difficult for me...again.
Before mom had passed away, mom had given me a file folder full of papers. In it were copies of my birth certificate, information regarding my real dad, court transcripts for my adoption, and legal adoption papers when my step-father adopted me. When I began reading the transcript stating my real dad desired to have no more contact with me and was giving up his rights as a father, it just brought to my mind a lot of questions. Questions I knew I didn't really want the answers, so I tucked the papers away should I ever need to use them. It was emotionally difficult.
Now that we have more things in our possession from my real dad....letters stating how much he loved me, how much he loved my mother.....these questions just come to mind again and play with my emotions. Also, in this newly acquired stuff is his last known address that my mom knew. I still don't have the desire to look for answers, but it probably would be simple if I tried.
I don't understand why my dad gave up his rights to be my father. I have memories of a short time with him. Not much I remember is pleasant. I'm sure the war changed him. He was young and so was my mom when I was born. That can change a person.
I'm so glad Jesus gives hope to the fatherless. I remember the first time I heard this & how I nearly choked in the lump in my throat. It still gets me every time. My step-dad adopted me and fathered me in the way he knew. However, my Heavenly Father has been a source of strength through it all - even when I disappointed him over and over again by my choices. He hasn't left me or given up on me. He waits for me daily to spend time with Him. I love Him so much for all He's done for me.

Heartless Bastards & Andrew Bird
As far as concerts go, solid double-billing shows are hard to come by these days. My best last was 'The Strokes' / 'White Stripes' up in NYC at Carnegie Hall… and lawdy, it was good.
Coming this Monday 3/23/09 at The Lyric, I feel we've got one worthy of a loud shout-out.
Heartless Bastards & Andrew Bird.
A yen and yang show. Rough, stripped down, gritty, melodic blues from Heartless; and concise, precise, whistle-stomping alt-rock from Andrew. Great stuff.
For most concerts, you grab a late bite to eat to skip the first band. In this case, you don't. In this case, grab an early bite at Square Pizza, head across the street and catch both bands. We'll be there : )
[Never heard of either band? Here's a sample of songs we like:]
Wanted to add an Andrew Bird performance video from a Take Away Show on La Blogothèque

I prefer Square Pizza AFTER a show. Hits the spot!

Pepper! How did you pull this one off?ReplyDelete
P.S. - I once had a Siberian who built a ladder to get out of a fence. Honest. She drug logs from a stack of firewood and placed them in the corner of the yard so she could climb out. Sigh.
dearest Pepper...Its really not a good idea to go wandering around without your humans. Not only does it give them grey hairs, but its not a very safe thing to do! Thank dogness a nice person found you and turned you in.ReplyDelete
So glad to hear everything worked out!
wags, wiggles & slobbers
Poor Pepper! Glad she's somewhere safe until you can get her!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness, Emily - I only just saw this post now...what a horrible ordeal!! I can't imagine how panicky you must have been feeling. Thank goodness someone picked her up and took her to safety - people can drive so fast in Auckland! I wonder how she got out??!!ReplyDelete
Oh Emily! I can't imagine how awful you must have felt when you heard Pepper was not home! But I am glad she was found and safe.ReplyDelete
Actually we had an incident with courier men too. Usually courier people close the gate after entering it to come to the door. But, that day the man had an assistant with him, and the assistant was holding the gate open (The gate has a spring in the hinge so that it closes automatically). Then, Cinnamon came from behind me and went out to the front garden, while I was signing for the courier. Usually that is not a problem, because the gate is shut. But, the assistant didn't close the gate even after he saw Cinnamon walking toward the gate. What is worse, he kept holding the gate, watching Cinnamon passing him out to the footpath. I yelled at the man, but he still didn't move at all. Because our house is on a busy road, I was really upset! When I went outside, Cinnamon was still walking on the footpath, but when I called her, she went out onto the road, perhaps because she was frightened by the tense in my voice. It was lucky that there was not as much traffic as usual, because it was very early in the morning, and Cinnamon came back to me without getting hit or anything. I know it was my fault that I hadn't trained her well enough. But, I was really cross about the courier man!
Cinnamon's mum
Hi PepperReplyDelete
Mum says to check where is your electricity meter, do the electrics or gas meter readers have the code to get into the backyard to read a meter or something. Or our escape artist friend Brody used to shimmy up the compost pile and over he went. Tell you what, I got out a few months back and Mum was absolutely scratching her head. And then she found that one of our fence palings was nailed good and tight at the top but it swung at the bottom. And I managed to nose it out of the way and get out. And then it was like Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and I couldn't get back in. Glad you're safe and hope your Mum finds out how you done it real quick.
Bodie & Magoo the escape artists.

Holiday Season Sees A Surge In Credit Card Borrowing
Americans continue to borrow in order to pay for expenses during the holiday season and this has been indicated by the US credit card debt that has posted a solid increase for the second time in a row in December. The level of consumer credit has increased and the outstanding has gone from $19.31 billion to a whopping $2.498 trillion, according to the available data from the Fed Reserve. When Dow Jones Newswires had surveyed the economists, they had only forecast an increase of $7.5 billion.
There was an increase in revolving credit that is also inclusive of credit card debt. In the month of December, it had increased by $2.76 billion to $800.98 billion. In the month of November, the revolving credit had risen to $5.58 billion, which would be the biggest increase, since March 2008.
There has been an increase in non-revolving credit and it has risen by $16.55 billion to $1.697 trillion. This is an increase following a huge surge in November, and has been the biggest since November 2001. It is being driven by the fed student loans, and has been steadily increasing since the last one year. This is a sign to indicate that the high unemployment rates in the US are driving people back to schools.
However, the consumer credit report does not include real-estate secured loans or home mortgages. The fed data is an important tool that will help give a better insight into consumer behavior. It is the consumer spending that helps in giving the economy a thrust.
After a long period of recession, the economy is slowly recovering. The recession had come to an end sometime in mid-2009. There was a slowdown in growth just last year, but it managed to pick up sometime in the later part of 2011. The growth is likely to be moderate during the beginning of this year.
Consumer spending has been restrained due to the prevailing unemployment rates as well as falling housing prices. According to reports from the Labor Department, job openings had risen in the month of December. Even the economists had stated that this was in tune with the underlying trend; where the job openings are expected see a bigger rise when compared to hiring. Cooper Howes who is the analyst at Barclays Capital states that this suggests just one thing – the mismatched skills are continuing to create a friction in the job market.

Who Are the Real Terrorists in Kenya?
According Kenyan sources and video, not all stores were occupied by the terrorists in Nairobi's Westgate Mall. Several stores were occupied by those Kenyan troops fighting the terrorists. Usually, a country's military is its best when special forces are employed and more so when the world media is watching as it happens.
The Kenyan military, while not all rotten, certainly has a black eye to those living there. You see, when some troops were not fighting the terrorists, they were looting the stores. Stuffing whatever they could into there pockets and simply carrying items out. The looting was conducted even while the fight was happening and hostages were still in danger.
The jewelry store in the mall was ransacked and thousands of items were stolen, security forces are seen looting clothing stores, shoes stores and smashing ATM's. Supermarkets were looted also, video shows soldiers carrying out bags of items. In one scene, soldiers were seen carrying out three large bags stuffed with cash.
The Kenyan response to the terrorist attack was muddled and confused due to poor training and lack of communication. The Mall was secured by the military by 7 p.m. By that time, very few terrorists were still in the complex.
The Kenyan military and security forces seemed to prefer certain stores to others. The Bata shoe store suffered no looting. The question is, where were the officers in charge of these men? Where was the control of the situation inside? It seems all of the rank and file in the Kenyan military are thieves when the situation presents itself. They are probably happy there was a terror attack because otherwise, the items stolen would have to be bought.
Some 67 were killed in the mall attack, the looting is more tarnish on the Kenyan military.

Dir. of operations for Jackson Kayak, D"Kayak fishing as opposed to being on a boat, it's a far more intimate process. You become just a little bit more in tune with the water, you are in the water not on the water. You are reading sign differently, the biggest thing is you're getting into places the bass boats can't go. You are getting to un-pressured, untouched fish because guys that have props simply can't get in there. They are great shallow water craft, great for sneaking into back bays, accessing lakes other guys just can't get to. There is a lot of water out there now where motors are not allowed period. So you can fish in a kayak with all the features you want at all the comfort you want. But even on heavily pressured lakes where there are bass boats, you can get back into those areas that have been overlooked and untouched. When I think kayak, I think tippy and unstable. That is a stigma that people have had because most kayaks are viewed as being recreational. But fishing kayaks are specifically made to stand and fish from.

I listed on my web all National Geographic magazines dealing with astronomy and astronautics since 1928 but 'd like to extend it to the beginning, by 1890. Currently I have gathered ~100 issues (they are probably some more) so in average there is about one issue per year (less in the past than nowadays).
The page displays each cover with the date, vol and number of the magazine, the subject and as far as possible a screenshot of the map or poster if it includes one.
In addition links are provided to bookshop selling back issues.
See at http://www.astrosurf.com/luxorion/national-geographic-astro.htm
The page is written in French but as an image is worth thousand words in all langages, I think that the the page is self explanatory ;-)
Hope this help

text: Excerpt: "Looking at Livelock, you might see open-world elements of Alienation, Helldivers, or even Diablo, but that's not what the game is. Livelock is a much more linear and focused game, the action is relentless, and there's a constant need to have you smash your way through each level, done with the greatest of ease. And unless you intend to take every character in Livelock to the max level, replayability is a bit lower than expected for this top-down, twin-stick shooter."

Jimmy Robertson's tremendous run in the latest World Snooker tournament was halted in the semi-finals this morning (Friday).
The Bexhill cueman was beaten 4-2 by home favourite Ding Junhui in Asian Tour event the Haining Open after winning five matches over the previous three days.
Robertson comfortably won the opening frame 83-5 only for Ding to reel off the next three. The Chinese took the second frame 101-1 helped by a break of 65 before winning a tighter third 73-51 and cruising through the fourth 92-0.
World number 45 Robertson hit back by clinching the fifth 102-0 with a break of 95, but fourth-ranked Ding claimed the next 79-31 aided by a run of 58 to set up a final against Ricky Walden.
Robertson began the event with a comfortable 4-0 win over Zhang Zhijie with a top break of 89. He then had to work a little harder to overcome another Chinese amateur, Luo Honghao, 4-1, winning two tight frames to lead 3-1 before finishing the job with a splendid 128.
The 29-year-old pulled off a hat-trick of victories yesterday, the first of which was a narrow 4-3 success against Barry Pinches. Robertson turned a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead with breaks of 51 and 70 before winning the tightest of deciding frames.
He then produced a scintillating display to see off 33rd-ranked Xiao Guodong 4-1. Guodong scored just six points in the first three frames as Robertson knocked in breaks of 53, 71, 70 and 99. Another big break of 82 in frame five sealed victory.
Robertson continued that form at the start of his quarter-final against Thepchaiya Un-Nooh, comfortably winning the first three frames with runs of 74 and 67. His Thai opponent retaliated by winning the next three, but Robertson came through the decider 61-15.
Another player from O'Sullivan's Snooker Club in Bexhill, Leo Fernandez, also produced a superb performance at the same tournament. He too won five matches to reach the quarter-finals as an amateur.
Fernandez came from 2-1 down to beat Chinese amateur Ren Jiaxing 4-2 in qualifying round one before pulling off a splendid 4-3 victory over world number 25 Matthew Selt with a top break of 59.
Irish-born Fernandez then chalked up successive 4-0 wins over Chinese players, defeating Zhao Hanyang with a best run of 64 and world number 53 Li Hang with a top effort of 51.
Fernandez continued his excellent progress with a 4-3 success against 66th-ranked Tian Pengfei, who was runner-up in the recent European Tour event three. Fernandez, whose top break was 55, did superbly to win the final three frames from 3-1 down.
He was finally beaten 4-1 by world number 11 Walden in the quarter-finals. Fernandez clinched the second frame, but Walden took a tight fourth to lead 3-1 and a 67 in the next saw him home.
