Getting Started Down to the basics Tools of the trade Shopping thrifty Electronic components Electronic design and Construction Plastic platform construction Learning Discussion MODULE All modules Plastic platform construction To build our first robot, we'll use 0.125 inch thick plexiglass. The idea we got from The Robot Builder's Bonanza found here. The octogon is a 6in. by 6in. base. The corners were measured and cut 2 inches in from either side. For the center holes, we used a 3/16 (#10) bit. These are 1 inch in and dead center, respectively. The holes in the sides were made with a 7/32 (#19) bit. These are 1 inch in and 1 inch apart. If you've purchased The Robot Builder's Bonanza like we did, you'll notice that they do leave out some key points to the design process. This is so you can figure out how to design or learn to design your own robots. We came up with two different alternatives as to how to finish what they started. You can use what we've done or take what we have and make your own alternatives. Either way, you can't go wrong as long as you stick to some of the key design aspects. The holes at the top and bottom in the middle are for the counter weights made of 1/2-inch-by-8/32 bolts, 8/32 nuts, lock washers, and capnuts. The two holes on either side are for the clamps that will hold the motors in place. These holes are only approximate locations. You may have to put them in different spaces depending on the size of your motors. Next step is to get the items you need to complete your robot: 2 - small hobby motors with gear reduction 2 - model airplane wheels 1 - 3 1/2-inch 10/24 all-thread rod 1 - four-cell AA battery holder 2 - double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) switches with return to center (reverse - off - forward) 22 gauge hookup wire The rest of the design process is up to you. You can use our first design by getting a clear dome that is 6 inches in diameter. You can figure out the spacing by leaving enough space between each of the two directional switches so that none of your contacts or wires are touching. The second design is with switch towers. Below are diagrams of how you can make your switch towers. You will have to make your own measurements according to the size switches you use. Included below is the schematic you'll need to wire everything together. Question: Cool! It seems a little primative, but I feel I've learned something. What else can I make robots out of?

Tyrone Freeman first came to Urban Upbound over five years ago. After working in high-end fashion and operations for over 30 years, he found himself unemployed and unfamiliar with the job seeking process. With the help of his Urban Upbound Career Counselor, Tyrone perfected his resume, updating it to include his work experience, contact information, and skills. Tyrone took full advantage of everything Urban Upbound had to offer, regularly meeting with his counselor, attending workshops, and using the computer lab to apply for jobs. After several months, and with the help of an unlimited MetroCard to go to interviews, he was offered a position at K&G Fashion Superstore, where he has been given additional sales responsibilities and continues to work today, managing two stores and working with top clients and celebrities. Tyrone’s story is admirable, but it does not end there. He connected on a personal level to Urban Upbound’s efforts to break cycles of poverty in public housing neighborhoods, and now works with Career Counselor Seekqumarie to advise clients on interview attire and how to dress well with limited funds.” Seekqumarie appreciates Tyrone’s help: “It’s great to have the tips and skills for the interview, and have clothing to complement what they’re saying and the quality of their resume. Tyrone increases clients’ confidence by empowering them with clothes that make them feel good.” Tyrone has also volunteered for Urban Upbound’s Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEEN) events, again sharing his expertise on how to dress for one’s body and how to dress to get the job. He states, “I like to give back and help others get good jobs too.” Tyrone’s experience with Urban Upbound has come full circle. Once a participant, he is now our partner, sharing his expertise with clients to support them on a path to economic mobility.

If you wish to bid, but cannot be present at the time of sale, your representative must provide a document authorizing him/her to represent you or your company to bid on your behalf. Bids made by your representative must be verbally made in the name of the person or entity actually purchasing the property. Representing If you are appearing at the sale to bid on behalf of someone other than yourself or another entity that you do not own or control, you need to have written authorization allowing you to bid on behalf of that person or entity. When you enter bids on behalf of someone else, you must verbally state that your bid is being entered on behalf of that other person or entity at the time the bid is made. Why it Matters That is required because the public trustee will strike and sell the property to the successful bidder after bidding has ceased and funds have been provided. Therefore, the public trustee must know the name of the person or entity to which the property is being sold. Notify Me

Maryland leaders hope public-private partnership legislation will spur projects, jobs - The Morning Call Lehigh Valley proms: See all our photo galleries State leaders hope legislation will spur public-works projects, jobs Candy Thomson, The Baltimore Sun The state has a long list of public-works projects but little money. The private sector is willing to invest but has been starved for work.From that simple equation comes a business model called public-private partnerships — or P3s — that Maryland hopes will help alleviate its backlog of transportation and other infrastructure needs. The O'Malley administration is expected to unveil legislation this week that would offer a channel for tapping into a reservoir of corporate money and expertise. This version of the bill contains a sweetener last year's failed version didn't have that should entice a business community that doesn't think state government has been friendly enough: provisions to allow unsolicited ideas from the private sector.It also might offer the mechanism to revive the redevelopment effort at State Center after a judge's ruling last week that voided all contracts critical to the $1.5 billion project near Bolton Hill. "We have tremendous needs," said Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown, the administration's point man on the issue. "The state requires more than $800 million annually in new transportation investment just to address current needs. There's been nothing put forward that raises that kind of money. We need to be innovative and creative. ... We are no longer in a day and age when we shouldn't be considering all options."A task force chaired by Brown projected that P3s could pay for up to $315 million in projects annually while creating as many as 4,000 jobs. The lieutenant governor envisions a time in the not-too-distant future when the state will be involved in five P3 projects a year."We estimate that P3s could contribute between 6 and 10 percent of the state's annual capital budget," he said. "That's 6 to 10 percent in additional resources to do more projects. ... This is not a substitute. This is a supplement, a complement."A partnership might pay for a $850 million replacement for the 72-year-old Nice Bridge connecting Charles County to Virginia. Light rail lines for Baltimore and the Washington suburbs that are projected to cost a combined $4.7 billion could be partially financed by development at transit stops. School construction and water and sewer projects might also be accomplished using a P3 formula, Brown said. State officials have two recent success stories they can point to and a failure they'd rather not.On the plus side: a 50-year deal with Ports America Chesapeake in 2009 that upgraded the Seagirt Marine Terminal to accommodate the world's largest cargo ships, and a 35-year deal last year to rebuild the Interstate 95 travel plazas north of Baltimore. Together, the two partnerships are estimated to be worth $1.5 billion to the state.Harold Bartlett, executive director of the Maryland Transportation Authority, said that the state had a good deal of leverage in negotiating the travel plazas agreement with Spanish-owned Areas USA."They're trying to establish themselves in North America, and getting this Maryland project was a huge deal to them. I think that's why they sharpened their pencils," he said.On the negative side: the State Center redevelopment project to replace aging buildings with a mixed-use complex. A Baltimore judge sided with property owners who sued over the legality of the selection of a developer. An amendment to untangle the mess attached to last year's P3 bill, which passed the House of Delegates, helped kill the legislation.The proposed state law sets parameters and requires a front-end review of proposals by the Board of Public Works and the two legislative budget committees. That gives the business community a predictable process. After a bidder is selected, the deal would be subject to another round of review by lawmakers, the Public Works Board and the public."For every procurement, you're going to have one very appreciative entity — the winner — and everyone else. We want to ensure that while they may be unhappy with the outcome, they are confident in the fairness of the process because we've been open and transparent," Brown said. "There's going to be a lot more confidence and, in the process, a lot less litigation."The proposal also includes wage protections, environment and minority business standards and promises of confidentiality for proprietary information.If the bill passes, Brown said, the governor would establish by executive order a committee of existing staff to identify needs, engage the private sector for its input and provide initial vetting of proposals.With the exception of Florida and California, not many states have embraced P3s.Mahlon Apgar IV, a real estate and infrastructure consultant and former assistant secretary of the Army in the Clinton administration, calls P3s a "budget multiplier to solve complex problems that neither the government nor the private sector can do alone."In the late 1990s, Apgar spearheaded the Army's Residential Communities Initiative to clear a $7 billion backlog in housing and maintenance projects.A $2 billion pilot project was launched to privatize housing and upgrade and replace substandard units at four installations, including Fort Meade. Picerne Military Housing, a division of a privately owned real estate firm, built or renovated six neighborhoods consisting of townhomes, single-family homes and duplexes at the base. By the end of this year, a $72 million, 14-building apartment complex for single members of the military there will be ready for occupancy."These apartments are not something we could build on our own with our dwindling resources," Col. Edward Rothstein, garrison commander at Fort Meade, said in a statement.Picerne, based in Rhode Island, is also working on a 10-year, $80 million plan to build or renovate more than 1,000 housing units at Aberdeen Proving Ground.Apgar, who will be the keynote speaker in February at a national public-private partnership conference, said that for the state's P3 program to work it will need a small team of state officials to collaborate with innovators in the private sector."Maryland has an enormous opportunity as part of its overall economic strategy to further its goals through P3s," he said. "There's no substitute to having people with business experience, business contacts in the mix. The word, 'partnership,' is the operational one, and partnership goes both

EXHIBITION SYNOPSISAbout Strange Fruit - Michael ArmitageWhite Cube Hong Kong is pleased to present 'Strange Fruit', the first solo exhibition in Hong Kong by Kenyan born, Britain based painter Michael Armitage.Working in London and Nairobi, Armitage produces paintings that connect with art history, often adapting the strategies and compositions of historical paintings to unpack the cultural and social politics of contemporary East Africa. Although the scenes depicted in his paintings are sometimes bucolic and vivid, this conscious aesthetic belies his committed exploration of pertinent narratives, in particular, the intersection of societal and sexual behaviour against a backdrop of cultural conservatism.Armitage gathers his images from a wide range of sources including news and social media, his own personal memories and drawings from life. He paints in oil on cloth made from Lubugo bark, which has been harvested from trees in Uganda and is more commonly used in making sacred or ceremonial fabrics. He stretches the cloth across a frame, incorporating the resultant tears and sutures into the overall texture and composition of the image.In several of the paintings on exhibition, Armitage makes reference to ‘Baikoko’, a dance that originated on the coast of Tanzania. Performed by women only, it has been popularised in recent years through its appearance in Bongo Flava music videos but, due to its sexually explicit nature, the dancers have faced increasing restrictions by the Tanzanian government. In the painting Nasema Nawe (2016), he draws on Gauguin’s well-known painting The Vision after the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling with the Angel) (1888) by mirroring its compositional arrangement. While Gauguin’s picture concerns the revelation of semi-illicit religious activity, here Armitage exposes a similar trance-like communal ritualism inherent in the expressive form of the Baikoko dance. However, in Armitage’s painting, the figures in the foreground consciously look away from the dancers. In another work, Baikoko at the Mouth of the Mwachema River (2016), Baikoko dancers are depicted hovering just above the ground, in a manner that makes reference to Francisco Goya’s painting Atropos (1819-23).In the painting Necklacing (2016), a naked man with a tyre around his neck is framed by two sutures or lines in the Lubugo surface, that run vertically either side of his body. A penetrating, haunting image, the idea for the painting surfaced from an event the artist witnessed as a child, in which a naked man with a tyre around his neck was being chased through the streets of Nairobi by a large mob. Necklacing is the name given to this type of unlawful mob justice enacted by gangs across Africa.In Strange Fruit (2016), Armitage depicts a female figure perched on the branches of a tree, taking on a laconic and anthropomorphic symbolism. Rendered from a vantage point beneath the woman, only the soles of her feet are visible. The painting, whose title refers to the well-known protest song about the lynching of African Americans, alludes to the fact that 60% of the Kenyan population are now aged 25 and under, meaning there are very few prospects for young adults. In some extreme cases, on the North coast of Kenya, young adults have accused their parents of witchcraft, resulting in the parents being banished or attacked by their community, thereby allowing the children to claim their property and assets. In one instance, a man was killed by a mob as a result of such an accusation, leading his wife to commit suicide.Similarly, the work Muliro Gardens (baboons) (2016), was inspired by an actual event in Kakamega, Kenya where police set up a hidden camera near a bench in Muliro Gardens, a place which people frequented for sexual encounters. Attempting to publicly shame those involved, the videos were released online, but in Armitage’s painting, the illicit scene becomes not just voyeuristic but surreal, witnessed by an audience of silent, statuesque baboons. This element of surrealism continues in several other works that include animal protagonists. In Leopard Print Seducer (2016), a sexualised baboon stands proud, clad in a leopard print bikini. This painting references an interview with a traditional healer that the artist discovered which described how the healer accompanied a patient through a vision. During the vision, the healer pointed out various traps which had been set by animals in order to seduce the patient and steer them away from the right path and route to good health. OVERVIEW

CHICAGO — A federal judge railed against anonymous “intrusion into the affairs of people’s private lives” as he handed a Chicago man a nine-month prison sentence Tuesday for his role in a Hollywood hacking scandal that exposed nude photographs of dozens of A-list celebrities, reports CBS Chicago. Edward J. Majerczyk, 29, admitted last fall that he hacked into the Apple iCloud and Gmail accounts of more than 300 people, including at least 30 celebrities. In addition to his prison sentence, the judge ordered him to pay $5,700 to an unnamed victim of the hack who had spent $11,400 on counseling. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rajnath Laud suggested Majerczyk pay half of that victim’s bill because there is no evidence that Majerczyk, the son of two retired Chicago cops, put the victims’ photographs online. But Laud said Majerczyk, a man described by his attorney as “a very private individual,” still invaded the privacy of many people, including people he knew. NEWS: Man Pleads Guilty to Hacking Female Celebrities' Accounts, Expected to Serve 18 Months in Prison Prosecutors promised to recommend the nine-month sentence when they struck a plea deal with Majerczyk last year. Among the victims of the September 2014 hack —dubbed “Celebgate”— were Jennifer Lawrence, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kate Upton and Justin Verlander. Only two victims sought restitution in Majerczyk’s case. In addition to counseling costs, one victim reported lost wages, and both sought to recover the cost of removing images from the Internet. Neither victim was identified in court. U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras called Majerczyk’s conduct “abhorrent” and repeatedly described the “horror” his victims must have felt when they realized their private information had been exposed, even if only to Majerczyk. The judge cited the book “Brave New World,” but said “we’re living in a world that is not so brave.” Majerczyk, a father who had worked as a customer service representative for Commonwealth Edison and now lives with his mother, apologized to the judge and his family before Kocoras handed down the sentence. The feds first raided his home in October 2014, and he told the judge authorities have treated him with the “utmost decency and respect.” “I promise to prove myself worthy of that respect,” Majerczyk told the judge. WATCH: Jennifer Lawrence Calls Nude Photo Hacking a 'Sex Crime' Thomas Needham, Majerczyk’s attorney, said his client immediately told agents what he had done when they raided his home. He also said Majerczyk spent at least an hour at the FBI building in Chicago last March answering questions about the hack. Federal authorities from California joined the conversation over a secure video link. Last year, Majerczyk told Kocoras that he used a trick he “had learned from another individual” to access and download sensitive photographs. The feds say Majerczyk used a “phishing” scheme, sending his victims emails from addresses like The emails appeared to be from corporate security accounts and would direct the victims to a website that collected their usernames and passwords. Majerczyk admitted to the judge last September that he targeted celebrities. The feds walked out of Majerczyk’s apartment in October 2014 with several computers, a cellphone, hard drives and thumb drives, court records show. The FBI also raided a home on South Washtenaw in Brighton Park, but no criminal charges appear to have been filed as a result. PHOTOS: Busted! Hollywood's Most Memorable Mugshots Search warrant applications filed in Chicago describe interviews with some of the victimized celebrities but refer to them only by their initials. Some of the celebrities reported they’d been briefly locked out of their online accounts before the leak, records show. Others said they received the so-called “phishing” messages described by federal prosecutors in Majerczyk’s case. Many said the photographs were meant only for their significant others. And one said she sent some of the 54 private leaked photographs to her fiancé. But she said she never sent him the others — she only stored them on her phone. Finally, an FBI agent described one interview with Lawrence, identified only as “J.L.” The agent said he had to stop the interview because she became “very distraught.” “J.L. stated she was having an anxiety attack and was visibly shaken,” the agent wrote. Lawrence said in an interview with Vanity Fair that she considered the hacking to be a sex crime. Read the original story at

Over and over I keep hearing these comments, ” You have to cross train “, ” You need to build bulk”, ” You need to do this type of training to be the best”. I’m getting so confused on what is best for the hockey player to do that I think I’m going to lose my marbles here. But no fear, my good friend and colleague Kevin has reported to me that there is different types of training that at different parts of your season or development, these are the actions that need to be done. As Kevin has said before Interval Training has been a very hot topic for the past few years but he also stresses that your conditioning should be specific to your needs. Makes perfect sense to this guy, how about you? Kevin has been broadcasting several videos lately, taking a look at all aspects of conditioning training, along with Mike Robertson and Eric Oetter in explaining 3 things, 1. The lies you’ve been told about long, slow duration exercise – and why it’s actually very good for you. 2. Why certain training, like high-intensity training should be done at certain times of the year. 3. How smart energy training will help your sleep, relax you and feel better. Please have a look at the third video to see what Mike and Eric have been explaining and then I have also put below the other 2 videos to watch if you haven’t yet. Great information on the proper way of training and the ‘ WHY ‘ we need to focus on different training techniques at different times of our development and of the year. Videos 1 – 2 – 3 Hope you enjoy the videos and when you have some time give us some feedback on your training will you, love to hear from you all! Until next time.

Innovative and sustainable tourism development, competitiveness, quantitative and qualitative methods, maps and DSS Enhancing the Growth potential of coastal tourism concentration through an innovative, green and inclusive mobilisation of Med area local assets PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT The project aims at providing all the stakeholders involved in tourism development in delicate coastal areas of MED with an Observatory and DSS that help: -to identify the assets on which policy maker should take steps to stimulate the growth of tourism -to identify the challenges that global changes pose to the development of these assets -to design innovative policies that render these areas competitive on the global tourism market, yet satisfying the sustainable tourism criteria. The core of the Observatory (and DSS) is an Database with a strong regional dimension that, rather than gather new statistical information, efficiently uses already existing data and generates intelligent and highly operational indicators of Competitiveness and Sustainability of tourism in the medium and long term. A model will be developed to extrapolate the tourism development potentials in the future taking into account the global changes, such as climate change and the shift of the economic barycenter to the South and the East, that afflict these potentials. Last but not least, also by implementing a limited number of strategies designed through the DSS in the countries that are involved in the project, a number of practical and easily generable guidelines for competitive and sustainable tourism development strategies for the MED area will be delivered. MAIN MESSAGES The MED Area continues to be a privileged area in terms of international tourism development. However, the competitiveness of its destinations as well as the sustainability of tourism development might be compromised by a number of global changes that affect society, economy, demography, climate, and hence tourism in the area; It is sufficient to make a better use of existing information sources, in the future embracing an open data/big data approach; Intensive and creative stakeholder involvement in private and public policy making, preferably following the quadruple helix concept, is essential for the eventual success that these integrative, multi-sectorIal and innovative policies have for tourism development, and thus for social and economic development of the MED region. KEY DELIVERABLE DATABASE AND MAPS OF TOURISM POTENTIAL(AVAILABLE HERE) Collection of information (Eurostat, ESPON, 2000-2010 NUTS 2 level) about anthropic, economic, environmental, institutional and social factors (i.e. assets), and about real GDP growth and tourism flows (i.e. outcomes). The series of maps produced describe the spatial distribution and the dynamics of assets and outcomes across the relevant Mediterranean territories. The basic philosophy was to do more with existing statistical information by combining them in an integrative and innovative manner. ANALYSIS OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL BASED ON MED DESTINATIONS Investing on tourism represents an opportunity for regional growth. Tourism potential is fully exploited when associated to adequate pre-existing economic infrastructures, since the presence of agglomeration economies associated to natural and anthropic territorial resources is recognized as a fundamental characteristic to stimulate growth. Territorial specificities are considered through the analysis of case studies in each partner country. MEASUREMENT OF THE SENSITIVITY OF THE COMPETITIVENESS AND SUSTAINABILITY OF TOURISM TO GLOBAL CHANGES (AVAILABLE HERE) Measurementthrough new indicators able to describe the emerging phenomena affecting Med-destinations: Education, Change of values and lifestyles, Changing work patterns, Population trends, Urbanization, Shift of economic barycenterto the South and East, international trade, Population migrations, ICT technologies usage,and Climate change. These fundamental changes will have a huge impact on the competitiveness and the sustainability of tourism destinations, and understanding them better will help the tourism industry and policy makers to enhance the potentials that regional capital offers them for tourism development even further, as well as toreduce the risksthat some of these changes pose for tourism development. SMART PACKAGES OF TOURISM POLICIES BASED ON THE CONCRETE NEEDS OF THE STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED IN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT Possible operational answers useful to mobilize territorial assets supporting the TT industry. These responses are: contextualized specifically for the MED area, “innovative, green and inclusive” (EU2020 Strategy), identified on the basis of Socio-demographic trends, Economic trends, Political trends, Trends, Changes in Technology, and shared with stakeholders. Part of the prototype of the DSS that helps policy makers and entrepreneurs involved in tourism development make inclusive and sound strategic decisions regarding destinations. TECHNICALS HINTS The results of the Identifier of Potential Tourism Growth (IPTG) econometric model have shown that some of the proposed indicators of the territorial assets attractiveness could be improved through a more efficient transnational system of statistical data sharing. Furthermore, the competent governmental authorities have not yet adopted an appropriate operational tool (such as the prototype of the DSS designed by the project) able to support an integrated, multi-disciplinary and multi-level tourism development of MED regions. GOVERNANCE HINTS The participatory phases of finalization of the prototype of the Decision Support System (DSS) by the project partners has clearly pointed out the pivotal need to enhance capacity building and readiness of public policy makers as well as of private stakeholders that are directly or indirectly involved in the tourism sector. This would allow them to cope with the challenge to strengthen the competitiveness and the attractiveness of tourism destination sites in the MED Program area, while taking into account the new globalized trends, challenges and scenarios of tourism economies. SYNERGIES WITH OTHER PROJECTS Crossing of information with CORINTHOS for the elaboration of the National Blue economy maps such as: Potentiality for coastal growth; Diversification of the touristic offer; Synergies among tourism and fisheries or other sectors (existing experiences). Cluster approach of these 2 two projects regarding: Obstacles and risks to ensure a sustainable development of the tourism sector ; Ensure both environmental sustainability & econòmic viability within marine and costal tourism Legislative framework. Connections were also established with FishMPABlue & NEMO regarding the environmental and anthropic capitals and their influence of tourism flows (e.g. road infrastructures, cultural heritage, climate diversity, etc.) FOLLOW UP TOURMEDASSETS 2015 FIRST CALL FOR MODULAR PROJECT Any institution that is willing to capitalise the Tourmedassets results and outputs in a new project proposal to submit in the Interreg MED programme first call for modular projects please contact Mr Nicola Camatti of the University of Venice Ca' Foscari - Department of Economics: email: [email protected]

Today we received our first and second donation. Woo hoo! A BIG thank you! The first donation was from our very, very dear and sweet friends. And the second was a donation from my school. During the week of Valentine's our student government sold "Hearts for the March of Dimes". Students and staff members could purchase a heart for another student, teacher or staff member for $1. At the end of the week 90 hearts had been sold and my school gave it to me to put toward Team Morgan Kate. How awesome is that?!? Makes me all teary-eyed. Only 58 days left until we all gather to March for Babies! I guess that means only 58 days until I get all emotional and sentimental and teary-eyed. If you haven't been to one of the walks, you are missing out! We would love to have you come. You can just show up that morning OR you can register to walk with our team by clicking on that purple link to the right. I am finalizing the new t-shirt design. I think this may be my most favorite shirt ever. For real. I love it. As soon as I finalize the design, I will post it for all to see and then you can place your order! 58 days!!! Mark your calendars. Posted by Heather and Travis at 2/28/2013 09:27:00 PM 3 comments: The Leviners said... The Leviners will be walking with Team Morgan Kate!Awesome donations so far!

HThe history of “The Hope” encompasses an incredible journey involving a number of notable transformations and the inspired commitment of many faithful individuals. Greater New Hope Missionary Baptist Church was birthed out of a meeting of eight devoted Christians at the home of Sis. Norweida Rozier-Maxwell. On September 18, 1983, Pastor Wilbert Hawkins delivered the installation message and the Reverend R.W. Wiggins was officially installed as Pastor. An “upper room” at the Wilcox Mall was the very first place of worship. In an effort to more adequately accommodate the rapidly growing ministry, the congregation moved to a storefront on South Orange Blossom Trail in January 1984. A permanent facility was the vision of the Pastor and the dream of the members. In early 1984, 2.3 acres of land was purchased at 3099 Orange Center Boulevard for the construction of a brand new facility and on July 29, 1984, the groundbreaking ceremony was held. The construction progressed with much work on the part of the pastor, his family, and members. In August 1985, weekly services were held in the incomplete sanctuary. Finally, in March 1986, the vision of a new sanctuary became reality; it was complete with a learning center (approximately 6,000 square feet). The Learning Center was opened immediately under the direction of Mrs. Beulah Wiggins. The center focused on meeting the academic needs of the young people within the community. The membership continued to increase and to ensure continuity of leadership, Reverend Allen T.D. Wiggins was called as co-pastor in December 1996. There was a major influx of members and as a result, the maximum usage of the current facility was realized. The ministry enlarged its efforts to effect change by expanding the vision to include being an active participant in the lives of the members of the community. In 1999, we entered a cooperative joint venture with several local organizations to provide upper level affordable housing in the community; the first project being Hope Village Apartment Homes. In our continued efforts to serve the needs of the community we purchased land one block away from our current location. In October 2001, Rev. R. W. Wiggins officially passed the mantle of leadership to his son, therefore placing Rev. Allen Wiggins into the position of Senior Pastor. Having a vision to reach the local community for Christ by “meeting the needs of the total man,” Pastor Allen continues to lead the ministry in its partnership with local community development initiatives. Continuing to believe God for a blessing larger than we could imagine, the church moved forward with the construction of phase one of the new facility. A spirit-filled groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 13, 2002 to celebrate the abundant blessings of God upon our Ministry. In 2004, God’s favor and ability to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever think of or imagine was proven once again. We purchased the Ebenezer United Methodist Church located on the corner of Goldwyn Ave and Monte Carlo Trail, which is diagonally across the street from the location of the new facility. Simultaneously, we acquired a 2500 square foot house located behind the Ebenezer Church. The newly acquired church was renamed the Founders’ Chapel in honor of the founders of our ministry, Dr. R.W. and Mother Beulah Wiggins. The house was refurbished and became the Hope Business Center, housing Hope Graphics, the Divine Collections Bookstore, and temporarily the Hope administrative offices. As construction of the new facility continued, God gave us the opportunity to be a blessing to another ministry. In June 2004, the Hope family began to have weekly services in the Founders’ Chapel, affording New Beginnings Baptist Church the opportunity to hold their worship services in our church facility on Orange Center Blvd. In December 2004, we celebrated the completion of the Prayer Chapel and moved into our new facility. We commemorated this new chapter in our church history with a weekend of events including a Dedication Banquet and formal Dedicatory Services. The physical transition into the new sanctuary also marked a spiritual transition for our ministry. Greater New Hope Missionary Baptist Church would now be known as The Hope Church of Orlando. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the ministry continues to mature and transform to meet the ever changing needs of our members and the community at large.

An amazing thing happened at work a few weeks ago. All of the robots that my group has worked on in the last thirteen years came together in one place, starting from Robonaut all the way to Resource Prospector... It was so inspiring to see not just all of this technology together in one space, but also the people behind the work who made it all possible. Robonaut 2 is the first project that I worked on as an intern and what got me hooked on working for this group. I was a mechanical designer in training and worked with the forearm/hand subsystem engineers. Robonaut 2 - (clockwise from bottom left) Units C5, C1, C6, and A Robonaut 2 checking out the SVMF viewing walkway (aka, the hamster tube). When I began as a full time employee, I worked on the Valkyrie project as one of the designers of the forearms, hands, and feet. Valkyrie - (left to right) Unit C, A, and B in MRV Valkyrie, chillin' in MRV The purpose of the robots that we build is to assist and enable astronauts to perform either menial or environmentally dangerous tasks. I am personally not sold on the idea of exclusively humanoid robots, but I do see the value in the intuitive control and motion of such systems. In any case, I am proud to be a part of this family of engineers and robots and look forward to seeing what the next thirteen years has in store for us.

The Democratic incumbent is at considerable risk of losing renomination Saturday to state Sen. David Ige. And the primary is throwing a considerable amount of uncertainty into the general election. Abercrombie, a former congressman, alienated a portion of his own party after appointing Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz to Daniel K. Inouye’s open Senate seat, despite Inouye's reported request that Rep. Colleen Hanabusa be appointed after he died. Schatz is not in the clear in his own primary against Hanabusa, but he is in much better shape than Abercrombie. The general has a few different moving pieces. Republicans are set to nominate a credible contender in former Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona. And former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann, who has run as a Democrat for other offices numerous times, is running as an independent in this race. Republicans need a three-way race in order to win statewide race in Hawaii these days, and that is exactly where we’re headed. It’s difficult to predict the dynamic if Ige knocks off the incumbent in the primary, and it’s unclear whether he can unify the Democratic base enough to preclude Aiona from winning with a plurality of the vote. We’re changing The Rothenberg Political Report/Roll Call rating of the race from Democrat Favored to Leans Democratic for now, but this could get much more competitive and become a much bigger headache for Democrats.

Hi all,I'm new with Arduino.Now, i'm triying yo use USB Shield ( ) but I can't.When try to use this shield, I get: Error: OSCOKIRQ failed to assertI'm searching a lot in Google, but I can find a solution for my problem.I already try to use an external power supply for send power to USB Shield, but the same problem.I think that the connections for USB Shield to Arduino Mega may be different from the connections tu Duemilanove, but I can find any schema of this, for make the correct connections.Any idea?Thanks for help! johnwasser Shannon Member Posts: 14,438 Karma: 1107 [add] Re: Arduino Mega + USB Shield problem #1 Mar 02, 2011, 07:20 pm From the product description: "A four-wire serial interface is used to communicate with the host controller chip, so the shield connects the Arduino's hardware SPI pins (D10-13) to". The hardware SPI on the Arduino Mega uses different pins.A software fix is to change the library to use SoftwareSPI and specify 10, 11, 12, and 13 for the SPI pins.A hardware fix is to bend out the D11, D12, and D13 pins of the shield and jumper those to the MOSI, MISO, and SCK pins (respectively) of the Arduino Mega (somewhere around D52)

Each Tobi Tobin candle is carefully packaged in a stunning black crocodile box. This, too, is embossed with the distinctive TT crest. Tobi Tobin candles look amazing and make perfect gifts. You don’t even have to wrap the beautifully luxurious-looking candles, since the packaging is so distinctive and lovely. Each Tobi Tobin Candle comes with its unique scent, which is inspired by a place or by architecture. For example, the Tobi Tobin Baroque candle is inspired by the beauty of Northern India, with notes of wood, amber, oudh oil, agarwood oil, patchouli, amyris, cedar, vanilla, vetivert, and musk. The Tobi Tobin Bibliotheque candle has a rich fragrance which recalls hallowed halls of learning and leather-embossed libraries. This candle contains notes of vanilla, sugar, caramel, spices, musk, and tonka. The Tobi Tobin Georgian candle embodies the rich scents of the South, with notes of mango, green leaf, gardenia, tuberose, orange flower, sandalwood, and vanilla. The Tobi Tobin Monastery candle is a heavenly blend of orange, citrus, sandalwood, wood, moss, musk, and Jasmine. If you have ever wanted to step into an orange grove, the next best thing might be to light a Tobi Tobin Orangerie candle, which combines scents of blood orange, goji berries, citrus, and vanilla. The Tobi Tobin Romanesque candle was inspired by the natural beauty of an ebony forest. It contains notes of fruit, sandalwood, and amber for a woodsy, mysterious fragrance. If you are looking for a unique scent, the Tobi Tobin Signature candle is one of the most popular fragrances in the collections. It contains notes of cedar, aldehydes, black pepper, eucalyptus blossom, hyacinth, cashmere wood, patchouli, birch, and incense to create a luxurious and warm fragrance that is a perfect match for the distinctive gold and black packaging of Tobi Tobin perfumed candles.

Problem I guess with telling people you're "going home" is that it's very difficult to do so when you don't have a "home" to go back to. The apartment I was renting has no doubt been sold to someone else by now... all my stuff probably auctioned off to pay my tabs. And my parents? I don't even know who they are anymore. I thought I was just estranged from them but now... heh... guess that was another of Onewinged's lies, so... for all I know they're really dead and the house is burned down. Guess I could ask Third, but fuck that guy. Seriously. So, Plan B it is. You guys... you're about to really start groaning at me or something when I tell you this. But I guess there's no avoiding that so... fuck it... like I even care anymore. Presently, I'm sitting alone by myself in a sealed underground bunker at an undisclosed location in the middle of fuck nowhere with about half a year's worth of general supplies... Again. Looks like we're right back where we started, huh? Well, maybe not exactly, all things considered but... close enough as far as you people are concerned. I am right? So what am I doing down here? Well, s'not like I had anyplace better to go. May as well "finish the experiment" before I kick the bucket, right? I've had this place in the works since I was in the first one and realized I wouldn't be able to stay there forever. Basically a backup, for when, not "if", things went bad. I guess my intention was to see if it would take him as long to find me here as it took the last time.... would it be longer or shorter or... what? Not sure I really care anymore though. I'm just sorta here now because I don't have anyplace else to go. Besides, it's comfortable. The air's not very fresh, but you get used to it. It's cool by comparison to outside and I don't need to worry about the weather. Plus I have a little fan. There's a power outlet and accessible wifi, so my laptop is back to 24/7 operation and I can just sit here and play Fallout or watch Power Rangers on Netflix until the Construct decides to show up and kill me. Also, this chair is not a hard park bench or uncomfortable roofing. Small luxuries. Enjoy them. Anyways... I'm here if you need me. And if you don't, then... well, I guess I'm here anyways.

Rosalind Franklin is known among some scientists as the “Dark Lady of DNA.” Prior to her work on DNA, Franklin published five papers on the nature of coal and charcoal, helping launch the field of high-strength carbon fibers. While at the King’s College in London to study living cells, Franklin’s work of x-ray diffraction on DNA led to the discovery of its structure, the double helix. Rosalind Franklin worked with Maurice Wilkins in the lab, but their relationship became strained when Wilkins thought Franklin was only a technical assistant. Soon after, Watson, Crick and Wilkins published a paper on the structure of DNA using Rosalind Franklin’s famous “Photo 51” without permission or without acknowledgement to Franklin. This did not stop Rosalind Franklin from continuing her passion for scientific research. Until her death from ovarian cancer, Rosalind Franklin headed her own research group at Birkbeck College in London, where she further studied coal and viruses including polio and the tobacco mosaic virus. The findings from her research group laid the foundation for structural virology. The Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science honors her in name and the high caliber of research that Rosalind Franklin was known for in life.

Who’s On The Hot Seat: UFC 114 Published 11:15 am EDT, May 29, 2010 Comment By Bryan Levick Share Tweet Share Email Follow Welcome to the UFC 114 edition of Who’s On The Hot Seat. We’ll take a look at which particular fighters may find themselves unemployed after Saturday night. Ryan Jensen Jensen hasn’t fared too well during his time in the Octagon. In two separate stints with the UFC, Jensen has amassed an unimpressive 1-4 record. His lone win came against Steve Steinbeiss at UFC Fight Night 19. He was thrown around and beaten up by the emerging Mark Munoz at UFC 108 in January, marking the third time in his four UFC losses that the fight ended in the first round. He can’t afford another loss. Anything other than a win will mark the end of the road for Jensen. Jesse Forbes A veteran of season three of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Forbes is also working on his second tour of duty with the organization. After losing during The Ultimate Fighter 3 Finale to Matt Hamill, Forbes was sent back to work on his game on the regional circuit. He was brought back to face Nick Catone at UFC Fight Night 20 this past January where he suffered a split decision loss. He can ill afford a third loss this Saturday night. Joe Brammer Anyone who starts their UFC career with two consecutive losses usually doesn’t get a third opportunity. They may be brought back somewhere down the line after winning a few bouts fighting elsewhere, but it’s tough to keep your job in a stacked lightweight division without being successful. Brammer lost his UFC debut to Mark Bocek via first round submission and if he loses to Aaron Riley he will most likely be given a pink slip. Dan Lauzon It’s hard to imagine how much pressure Lauzon is feeling these days. Having split from his gym and trainers, including his brother Joe, Lauzon is facing an uphill battle. If that wasn’t bad enough, he is facing one of the better lightweight prospects in the UFC in Efrain Escudero. Lauzon showed off some of the talent that got him to the UFC in his loss to Cole Miller at UFC 108, but inevitably fell victim to a creative submission by Miller. At 22-years-old, he still has a long way to go, but he can’t survive another loss here. There is no doubt that Dana White and Joe Silva know what’s been going on and they will not keep him around unless he scores a big upset. Dan Miller With his bout now occupying the co-main event slot on Saturday night, Miller is also under the gun to perform. Miller started his UFC career with three straight wins, but has gone on to suffer two consecutive losses. Granted those losses came to former UFC middleweight championship contender Demain Maia and the current number one contender Chael Sonnen, they are losses none the less. If Miller loses to Michael Bisping, but puts on a great fight that is a back and forth affair, he may have a shot at keeping his job. If he gets finished or puts on a lackluster performance he will be searching for a new job next week.

This leaf bowl is perfect for decorating your home or apartment or holding some fruit or letters. This DIY tutorial comes from the creative people at Crafts Unleashed. MaterialsFor this project, you will need:-- Artificial leaves-- Mod Podge-- Plastic bowl-- Plastic wrap-- Sponge brush-- Krylon Triple Thick GlazeYou can find all of these items at a craft store. Cover the bowl with plastic wrapUse the plastic wrap and cover the entire bowl with plastic wrap. Put on the leavesUse the sponge brush to paint on the Mod Podge over the artificial leaves on top of the plastic wrap. Make sure you are generous with the Mod Podge — you don't want your leaves coming apart. Cover the entire bottom of the bowl and about half way up the sides of the bowl. Cover the wet leavesTear off another piece of plastic wrap and cover the wet leaves with the plastic wrap. This will ensure that your leaves dry flat and stick together. Place outside in the sun for about 4 hours. Then remove the outer layer of plastic wrap and let the leaves completely dry. Spray the leavesTake the Krylon Triple Thick Glaze and spray a few layers of the glaze over the outside of the leaves. Allow the glaze to dry completely in between each coat. This will help firm up the leaves and make sure they keep their shape. After the last coat is completely dry, carefully remove the leaves from the plastic wrap. Step back and admire your wonderful fall creation!For more DIY projects for your home or apartment, check out the "DIY home" collection.

I was selected by Thom Collins (former Director of the Neuberger Museum, current Director of the Miami Art Museum) to present a performance piece at The Dorsky Museum of Art in New Paltz, NY. I went to the museum twice a month for a period of six months to present “The Go-Between.” Believing that the world would be a better place if more people got to know one another, I decided to facilitate interaction between strangers. Therefore, I explained to the museum visitors that I would be happy to carry a message to any other person in the space of the gallery. (It was always my hope that the strangers would eventually communicate without my intervention!) Most of the people who took advantage of my services sent a message to someone they already knew, and some of these message were very touching. For example, one man pointed to his wife and said, “Tell her that she is still the most important thing in the world to me — even after twenty-five years of marriage.” Other messages were more mundane: “Please tell my mother that I am hungry and want to leave this place.” Ultimately, I think my project served as a reminder of the importance of interpersonal communication. the-farmers-daughter Close

Bronchiectasis is an under-diagnosed disease -- with the potential to cause devastating lung damage. It affects the walls of the large airways of the lung, slowly destroying the muscles and the elastic tissues that line the bronchial tubes. Normal airways are built to contract and funnel mucus out of the lungs. But when the airways become distorted and scarred by repeated infections, they can no longer clear out normal secretions. Mucus accumulates, forming a breeding ground for bacteria and inflammation, causing further damage. As the disease progresses, it creates irregularly shaped pockets in the airways, a home for still more infections. Illustration from Merck Manual Bronchiectasis increases with age. Fewer than 1 out of 20,000 people age 18 to 34 have the disease but that rises to about one in 350 people by age 75. A 2005 study estimated that 110,000 persons in the United States receive treatment for bronchiectasis each year, resulting in additional medical-care expenditures of $630 million annually. Another study found that hospitalization for bronchiectasis has been increasing by more than five percent a year since 2001. Classic symptoms include a cough that never goes away and increased sputum production. Some patients have frequent bouts of pneumonia. Shortness of breath and increasing fatigue follow as lung function decreases. Advanced disease can lead to heart failure. Although a patient's history can indicate probable bronchiectasis, definitive diagnosis often comes from a high-resolution CT scan. These detailed images can reveal the thickening of the walls of the bronchial tubes and the misshapen, damaged or collapsed airways. Pulmonary function studies can assess the type and severity of the disease and measure the benefits of treatment. Bronchiectasis can't be cured. Treatment is based on clearing mucus from the lungs, preventing infections and reducing inflammation. With proper treatment, most people with this disease can live a normal life. The sooner the disease is detected and treated, however, the better the chance of preventing serious damage to the lungs. The sooner the disease is detected and diagnosed, the better the prognosis. Living with this disease process requires diligence and commitment. One mainstay of treatment, clearing mucus out of the lungs, is often compared to "forcefully emptying the last remnants from a ketchup bottle." It combines postural drainage (placing the head lower than the chest) with chest percussion (thumping over the lungs to dislodge pooled secretions). Patients are also encouraged to drink lots of fluids to keep secretions flowing and to exercise frequently to help clear the lungs and maintain cardiovascular health. Many patients also benefit from frequent, even constant, antibiotic use, often delivered directly to the lungs with a nebulizer, as well as medications to dilute mucus, dilate the airways and decrease inflammation. For some patients, surgery is another option. Cutting out a damaged airway can help, or removing part of the lung that acts as a reservoir for frequent infections. A lung transplant may be considered in severe cases. Bronchiectasis can develop at any age. It begins most often in childhood, but symptoms may not appear until much later. There is usually an underlying medical condition, an inherited disease such as cystic fibrosis, or an environmental trigger such as exposure to caustic fumes, a major lung infection, or a blocked airway. Although physicians historically could connect fewer than half of all cases to a probable cause, University of Chicago Medicine researchers were able, in a recent study, to determine an etiology -- most often to an immune deficiency or an autoimmune process -- in 93 percent of their cases. Experts say that while there are many possible causes, there also are more and more treatment options available. Many patients, if caught early enough and treated aggressively, can lead a fairly normal life -- depending on the underlying cause. UCH_017520 (30)

The eyes are the windows to an individual’s overall health, and Advantica’s vision care programs emphasize early intervention to detect and manage eye disease. We assure the delivery of quality eye care and member satisfaction through the following means: Comprehensive Eye Examinations Insights provided through a comprehensive eye examination, including dilated fundus evaluation (DFE), enable providers to detect signs of over 30 systemic diseases. DFE is the primary ophthalmic measure in the diabetic HEDIS standard, and its inclusion in eye examinations results in a higher level of compliance with HEDIS measurements. Wellness Programs To mitigate the devastating visual, emotional and financial consequences of under-diagnosis and under-treatment for diabetes, Advantica works to raise awareness of diabetes risk factors. Our vision plan can be integrated with both medical and dental programs through data sharing and outreach efforts to achieve optimal patient outcomes. Plan Eyewear With generous allowances, Advantica members enjoy a wide selection of eyewear products including prescription lenses, fashionable frames, and contact lenses. We negotiate significant discounts with our suppliers to obtain high quality materials and lens options at favorable prices. Vision Benefits for Employees Without insurance, the average cost of eyeglasses is roughly $285; with a comprehensive eye examination the total is typically well over $400. It is a very desirable employee benefit and surveys reflect that employees would be willing to exchange vacation days in order to have vision coverage. Vision Benefits for Employers Employers gain $7 in improved productivity for every dollar spent on vision insurance. Compared with the cost of other productivity boosters, vision plans have a tremendous impact. Vision Benefits Make a Difference One out of four children between the ages of 5 and 12 has some form of vision problem. In the first twelve years of life, 80 percent of all learning takes place visually. A child’s behavior, achievement in school, and performance in sports are affected by vision impairment. Treatment for visual development deficiencies and eye health problems is most effective at the earliest stages. Vision Benefits Improve Work Safety There are nearly 800,000 work-related eye injuries each year, 90 percent of which are preventable. Employees who work with uncorrected vision are more prone to accidents and injury. Annually in the U.S., vision disorders equate to over 8 billion dollars in sick days, lost productivity, and medical bills.

Lots of big stuff happening around here. Ok, maybe not big but it seems big to me. First, I've decided to put myself on a spending freeze. Before you get all, "no Lauren you can't do that it's too hard," let me explain. I'm going to continue to buy things like gas and food but no more shopping. I've cut it down quite a bit since we got engaged but I really need to stop altogether. Here are a few reason why. 1) I'm poor. Ok, I'm not poor, in fact I always yell at Joe for saying that. I have a job, I even have a second job. But seriously, I pretty much live paycheck to paycheck and that needs to stop. It's no way for an adult to conduct herself. 2) I don't need anything. I've got so much clothing it's insane! Plus I need to lose these 18lbs I've put back on this year and buying new clothes won't help. It's time to get back to it and make what I have fit better. 3) Credit cards are the devil. When I was younger I signed up for every card in the book and I've worked hard to pay off a bunch of the stupid little accounts, Mandee, Pac Sun, etc. I've still got more then I should with higher balances then I'd like and they won't get paid off if I keep using them. So, it's time to book more Thirty-One shows, sell my old clothes on Ebay and pay stuff off! The last thing I want is Joe taking on my debt when we get married. I totally know that I'm not going to pay it all off before the wedding, I'd have to use my entire salary for the year...but what better time to start then the present? Second, it's time to lose this weight. I was cleaning out old pictures in my blog storage and came across these:I was sooooooooooooooooooo skinny last summer! I've been lying to myself for a while now and letting myself get away with eating crap and skipping workouts. That stops now! Here's how I'm going to do it: 1) Outfit pictures are coming back. If I have to look at a full body shot of myself every day, it'll motivate to change the way I look. 2) Achieve the damn goals I keep setting. Posted by Lauren Fields at 7/06/2012 Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest 2 comments: Estelle7/08/2012You and me both. Seriously. I have to stop shopping and I've been kind of forced to in some ways. I usually buy a lot of books and clothes... and this week I cleaned out the shelves and it's gross how much I have bought and not read. And clothes... ugh. I have such a nice amount of clothes and I never feel like I have enough. But this has to happen. I, too, have had credit cards from a very young age and it's just effed me over so bad. I'm so dependent on them and everytime I pay them off, they climb right back up and I have no idea what I bought. UGH.btw, I've been meaning to say I did wear the necklace I won on my cruise and to work since I got it and I got a TON of compliments. I'm going to have to upload a picture so you can see.Wishing you a ton of luck on all your goals. You are a focused gal and I know you can do it.P.S. I do miss the outfit posts so I'm glad they are coming back. Part of me wonders if I should start doing the same thing so I get my butt into gear at the think the same thing when I look at last summer's photos too! You can definitely see the pounds I've gained. Poo. I've also been trying to cut back on spending too. We were doing really great but have been slipping more recently.You can do all these goals!!~AngReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...

Would like comments from those who have installed an hf mobile in an S10 pickup regarding getting the coax cable out of the cab.Dick Logged W3JAF Member Posts: 4 Routing Coax Out Of S10 Ext Cab Pick Up « Reply #1 on: February 06, 2001, 08:49:00 AM » I ran the coax up though the rear (third) break light for a 11 meter antenna on my ext. cab. Just took my time and used a little silicone. It has been that way for 5 years now without any problems. I just leave the mag mount in place and twist off the antenna (K40). I guess it depends were you want to put it. But, for getting it on the roof thats the route I choose. If you need a stonger mount for HF then you'll probally want to mount it on the bed somewhere that makes running the feed line easier. I have a glass mount for 2M. Good Luck. Logged N3DRB Member Posts: 3 Routing Coax Out Of S10 Ext Cab Pick Up « Reply #2 on: February 26, 2001, 08:28:14 PM » I just put in a rg142 run into my new S-10. (1998) I drilled a 1/4" hole in the very back passenger side floor from the floor up and put in a grommet that snugs up quite well to the outside diameter of the coax. Ran my line then soldered the connector on. I drilled two 5/8" holes in the bed side rails about 16" back from the cab. Using two HDA-1 Workmen mounts. Looks good, works good, one on each side. Also, just under the passenger side top floor near the plastic on the dash there is a huge rubber grommet used to feed the am/fm radio antenna thru. It is a hole you can feed 5 lines of 8 guage wire thru. You could use that as well for ants up front. Tim Logged KL7IPV Member Posts: 984 Routing Coax Out Of S10 Ext Cab Pick Up « Reply #3 on: March 28, 2001, 12:49:10 AM » I have installed mobiles in three pickup trucks. The trucks had sliding split rear windows. I held the windows together and then drilled a hole just big enough for the coax to go thru. I opened the window and put the coax in the hole and shut the window. Never leaked and always worked. My Dodge pickup had four antenna holes and never leaked. I spaced the holes about 1/8" apart vertically. It also allowed me to use the window when I wanted and when I removed the antennas, the holes were almost unnoticeable. If you need to replace the windows, you only need to replace the sliders. I must add, I used RG-58 or RG-58U or Mini 8X. I don't think I would use anything larger. 73,FrankKL7IPV Logged AF4YA Member Posts: 44 Routing Coax Out Of S10 Ext Cab Pick Up « Reply #4 on: April 17, 2001, 08:56:56 PM » I have a 00 S10 Extended Cab. I found a rubber boot that goes up through the floor just underneath the driver's feet area (about 6" in front of the seat mounts). I made a slit in it and it was a big enough boot to a PL-259 connector through. Then I just sealed around it with some silicon. Alot easier than drilling.Hope this helps,73sNick MullinsAF4YA

What type of lingerie does men like the best? This is a debatable issue since the average male can be a little confused regarding the subject. He might not be able to differentiate between a cheekstars, bikini briefs and a thong. However, he is a connoisseur of voyeurism. Therefore, your possibilities and combinations are limitless. Seduce a man sexually with Sexy Lingerie Here are top 7 lingerie options that your man will love on you. 1. Pick something in black – You will be surprised to know that guys 60% of the guys fall for black. It has always been a sexy and classy color, not to speak of being the most flattering. A sheer camisole or even lacy bra, it does not matter what you choose for your lingerie, red comes a close second. Mix both the colors for a good balance. 2. Basic count – Being back to basics is of utmost importance. It means that you should turn to simplicity whenever possible. Men are simple creatures by nature and like to keep it that way when it comes to sex. They don’t like to fumble around your intimate wear like a rubix cube. Almost 75% of them like it simple over elaborate. Therefore, try to avoid complicated or detailed lingerie that has the possibility of going overboard. 3. Being that sexy vixen – Women tend to feel silly especially if they don’t see themselves as a sexy vixen or a sex goddess. However, it has been revealed that guys love the best with “seductive” kind of lingerie. Seductive wear is well ahead of alternative ones like virginal, retro or sporty. 4. Less is more – Almost 90% of the guys revealed that lesser the coverage, its better. The idea is simple; if you want to seduce your guy, show some skin. 5. Consider the curve – Guys like cleavage. Yes it’s a fact and a shocker. Push up bra are the answer for you and are favored by many followed by padded and plunge comes a close third. Even strapless bras are favored by guys despite their lack of fit as well as support. 6. Thongs – These are undeniably, one of the most popular sexy lingerie options that we have on the planet. No wonder there is a catchy (read tacky) song written about it. Many guys prefer thongs as well as “tanga panties”. It is a cross between a thong and a bikini with minimum coverage. Another popular underwear favored by guys is boy shorts. 7. Lacy stuff – Another one of the most important stuff to reckon with in terms of sexy lingerie and as given above, with black it is unbeatable. In terms of material, almost 60% of the guys prefer this material for intimate wear. Sheer as well as satin are also there and you can’t really go wrong with them. You can even opt for leather but might not be favored by all. So these were 7 lingerie options for you to try out the next time you thing about seducing your partner. Even better option is to take him along when you go for lingerie shopping next time.

The Welsh Assembly Education Minister Jane Davidson has announced the award of a contract to pilot a new international-style qualification to replace A-levels in Wales. The minister revealed on Thursday that the Welsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC) - the only organisation to tender for the work - would be given control to set up the qualification in Wales. A-levels could become a thing of the past in Wales Ms Davidson said the WJEC's plans were an "exciting and innovative model" and the organisation would now be given £600,000 to develop the project in the current financial year. But a former senior executive of the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) has criticised the proposed qualification in its current form. Colin Jenkins, who was director of IBO examinations, is warning against basing the "Welsh Bac" on a mix of the heavily criticised AS level system and A-levels. The Welsh Assembly Education Minister Jane Davidson has said the new exam will be built on the blocks of AS-levels, A-levels, Vocational A-levels, Key Skills and GNVQs. I do not think it will succeed, in my opinion, in its present form Colin Jenkins, former IBO exam director Ministers in London are reviewing the introduction of the AS-level last autumn following criticism. Mr Jenkins told BBC News Online Wales that the vision of the baccalaureate as a unique Welsh qualification had been "heavily diluted". "I think its chances of success depend entirely on the scheme reversing a little bit down the road. International Baccalaureate Four schools and colleges in Wales currently teach the IB - out of 34 centres in the UK Six subjects are studied - a foreign language, maths, a science, a humanity, "home" literature and one other subject The IB is taught in more than 100 countries The number of students studying IB worldwide is rising by 15% each year The IBO headquarters is in Geneva, with administration offices in Cardiff "I do not think it will succeed, in my opinion, in its present form," added Mr Jenkins, a former principal of Atlantic College, in south Wales, where the IB has been taught for 30 years. "I predict disaster. We have kids doing AS and A-levels, which they are already saying is too much, and the current Welsh Bac formula takes on even more." Mr Jenkins spent seven years jointly researching the Welsh Bac for a report just published by the Institute of Welsh Affairs. He said the support and advice role of the IBO would have meant tailoring the Welsh Bac to the needs of students. Ms Davidson said the WJEC would be consulting Professor Jeff Thompson, the IBO's director of international education. Mr Jenkins said he hoped Professor Thompson would bring his considerable experience to bear but added the IBO's current involvement did not go far enough. Professor Thompson said the IBO was "positive and supportive" about the notion of the Welsh Bac and in participating in shaping the new qualification into a new version of the IB. He urged full consultation from all parties to make the qualification a first class package for students in Wales. Thirteen schools in Wales will be taking part in the pilot project. The international baccalaureate is based on a core of six subjects - a mix of sciences, maths, a foreign language and humanities subject - and is said to be popular with universities. Atlantic College at St Donats is one of four schools and colleges in Wales currently teaching the IB. A pilot scheme at Whitchurch High School in Cardiff began last autumn and the IB is also taught at Swansea College and Llandrillo College, near Colwyn Bay, north Wales. The full breadth of education is maintained up to the age of 18 and, in general, universities like that very much Gareth Rees, Director of studies, Atlantic College Atlantic College's director of studies Gareth Rees said a Welsh Bac would be a huge advantage for Welsh students over English sixth formers when applying for a place at university. Atlantic College's 330 students are drawn from countries all over the world. "The full breadth of education is maintained up to the age of 18 and in general, universities like that very much," said Mr Rees. "Emotionally, as a Welshman, I love the idea of a Welsh baccalaureate and were it to become the gold standard for secondary schools in Wales, I would be glad. "The poor experience of the AS-level over the past year means the time is ripe for the baccalaureate in Wales, " Mr Rees added.

Here's what it is: herbal, savoury, refreshing, different but not difficult, great with lighter summer dishes and made by one of the region's most respected producers. Another tasty option in the whites department.

When I got the encrypted pigeongram that told me Theater of Guts needed me for a movie review, I had a momentary crisis of confidence, the kind where part of my brain keeps shrieking, "They only want your opinion because you're a rat! They don't respect you as an individual!" Still, it's important that the rat point of view should be represented in the media¹, regardless of the motives of those providing the platform, right? Right, so that voice can fuck right the fuck off. Thus, here we go with Bruno "Vincent Dawn" Mattei's futuristic-ish thriller, Rats: Night of Terror, a twist on the domestic mayhem of home invasion classics like Straw Dogs and Home Alone, taking place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the eighties never ended. The scene is set by some helpful introductory text to effect that humans blew themselves up with a good old-fashioned nuclear hoedown, and the survivors fled underground to live together in scientific harmony. A splinter group in turn fled back above ground to live as full-time Road Warrior cosplayers. Ominous hints will eventually be dropped about the underground nerds physically modifying themselves to adapt to the post-war world, but no details are specified, almost as if something were being saved for a Big Shocking Twist. Our beloved rodent critic diggin into some choice Balun scribblings We meet our villains first, a ragged bunch of wasteland wanderers, every one of them looking like they're making the Ride of Shame home after a night of angry anonymous sex in the wake of a botched audition for Thunderdome! the Roller-Musical. These shaggy ne'ver-do-wells gear up in an extremely tidy scrapyard and bust their way into some kind of isolated science-type facility. What it's all for is left unsaid, but like any good science place, it requires a vast network of pipes. The future nerd race is nowhere to be found, but we soon learn--accompanied by a truly unconscionable amount of shrieking--that the place has been thoroughly colonized in their absence by happy hordes of learning-minded rats. They've gotten busy building a rodential Sciencetopia, even turning the hydrofiltration system into a bitchin' waterslide. The bumbling bikers get busy trashing the place, but their intrusion won't go unanswered for long. That's right, our insufferable interlopers are about to meet justice at the claws of thousands of adorable little murder machines with advanced intelligence and an array of improvised self-defense devices. Thanks no doubt to the movie's painfully low budget, we never see any of the sophisticated weapons the rats have, but their arsenal includes some sort of catapult that flings clutches³ of them onto a target, and once in a while a kamikaze squad will drop in from above^4. The mighty science-based power of the collective rat society is an unstoppable force, and the invaders are soon reduced to a Final Girl and a Ken doll, rescued at the last second by those physically-modified future nerds, who are... *DUN*DUN*DUNNNNN* giant rats! W00T! Double-burn, filthy human scum! futuristic marketing On the way to that twist, though, you have to endure a lot of deeply annoying people, one of whom is dubbed by the same guy who dubbed Ian "It stinks!" Sera for one of my all-time favorite MST3k episodes, Pod People. Just, you know, fun fact and all. Speaking of dubbing, you know who deserves one of those "beer after a long, hard working man's day of unappreciated labor" commercials? The poor shlub in the ADR booth who has to try to sync terrible dialogue to the halting lip movements of an Italian actor stumbling phonetically through their lines. There's a lot of phonetic stumbling in this one, let me tell you. WARRIORS COME OUT TO PLAYAYYYYEE You know what else there's a lot of? Rats. Some rat movies really shortchange you in the rodent department, but not Rats: Night of Terror. Rather than leaving the burden of carrying the movie to a single rat hero, Mattei instead lets the rats form a single, faceless Rattengestalt, a true socialist horde where the collective transcends the individual. To that end, literal boxes of rats are emptied just off-camera over shrieking actors^5. Either the Italian Humane Society is incredibly bad at its job, or Bruno Mattei snuck^6 under their radar somehow, because there's no way, no how that no rats were harmed during the making of this movie. For fuck's sake, at one point, a stuntman in full fire gear walks around in flames, with what are clearly live rats perched on him. Full disclosure: to be honest, they seem rather nonchalant about the whole thing. You can see them leaping off after the stuntman dropped, making little metal hands. Could be that every last one of my brethren made it intact to the wrap party, but I nevertheless harbor doubts. I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for minimum wage On the positive side, the movie provides a valuable lesson for budget-conscious directors: You can save a lot of money on animal training if you don't try to have the animals in your movie do anything in particular. Just show rats hanging out, doing their little rat things, and have characters scream, "They're gathering to attack!" or "They're chewing through all the wires!" or "They're grooming their Death Claws with poison saliva venom!" Throw in some scary music and your audience will be happy to be terrified by whatever you tell them is going on, because people just lose all their objectivity when confronted with writhing hordes of--and I use this word without moral judgment--vermin. If it achieves nothing except to pierce a few eardrums and maybe make you run outside and punch a bike messenger, Rats: Night of Terror at least stands proud as the first rodential entry in the Home Defense Massacre subgenre. Underneath the multiple layers of incompetence, weirdness, and failure, it clearly demonstrates the ability of a faceless socialist horde of science rats to carry an action movie. Try telling that to today's timid, Hollywood, though. Any ambitious young directors out there looking for a remake opportunity with an incredibly low bar to clear, check this one out. I recommend Blue Underground's sweet-ass Blu-ray double-feature, which includes Bruno Mattei's astonishing surrealist masterpiece HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD, a chilling allegorical trip inside the head of a hack director who suffers a cascading series of strokes while pitching a cheap rip-off of DAWN OF THE DEAD, sending him spinning into vortices of madness, flesh-eating, and cross-dressing while the viewer is dragged helplessly along. BUY HERE 1. No offense, but you humans really have a bug up your ass about us, although I will say that in my encounters with horror fans, I've encountered no particular prejudice, and in fact, quite a lot of hugging. 2. The movie's actual apocalypse takes place in the dizzying future year of 2015, but these events are taking place a couple hundred years later. 3. An airborne group of rats is called a clutch. 4. Most likely from a blimp, based on assumed carrying capacity and silent hover. 5. I do feel bad for the poor production assistant who had to dump rats all over a shrieking but hot actress knowing she would never speak to him again, but he's still going on the Enemies List.^7 6. Yeah, "snuck" is non-standard and thus to be avoided, according to the pedants. You'd think they'd be happy to see a new irregular verb appearing to counter the decline of the English language that they're always bitching about, but nope. Some people are not just happy unless they're pissed off.

Yesterday, Alex Jones of InfoWars chatted with Judicial Watch founder Larry Klayman about Klayman’s column naming President Obama 2015’s “Muslim of the Year.” Jones, discussing cases of sexual assault in parts of Europe by migrants from North Africa and the Middle East, claimed that some liberal women in the West actually want to be assaulted by Muslim men. “What is happening with the left?” he asked. “Not just here, but in Europe. I even found out that it’s a new fad where liberal women want to go out and find a very Sharia-law Muslim man to slap them around and dominate them but they hate their daddy from the liberal West who gave them all that freedom. Is this like some type of mass suicide culturally by the left? Who are these people?” Klayman, for his part, said that Islam “is not a religion at all” and that Muslims constantly try to “kill each other.” Later in the interview, Klayman praised Donald Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.

for their first full-length release, Austin’s heavy/sludge/rock outfit slurr decided to press 500 copies on vinyl; so, i was excited to get to work again. after brainstorming and bouncing a few ideas around, they gave me a few options for the direction in illustration. the final concept was based on a catacomb photo of circa 17th century Saint Pancratius at the Church of St. Nikolaus in Switzerland. according to the band, the title “Reconquista” is an historical reference to medieval Spain and Portugal movements to reclaim territory in late 15th century Europe; also, it is a reference/statement about the band’s Texas origin and the moving shift of numerous flags over the territory. the project included layout of a “cassingle” before the vinyl LP was released, as well as the 12″ layout & hype-stickers, plus a revised design for t-shirts + their printing with water-based discharge-dye ink. description Client:slurr: 'reconquista' 12" LPOur Role:layout / design / illustration / silk-screen sprinting view online More Projects

"Ladybug", better know as "Bug" to the rest of us, is a litter sister to our big boy Seelie. Bug is our little miracle girl. This litter was born by c-section and upon removal was found to have one deceased pup. Bug was the puppy right next to the deceased pup (deceased at least 72 hrs), she was worked on very hard by the vet tech. to get her going. As she started to age, a white wing appeared on her shoulder where she rested up against her deceased brother. It was very noticeable as a young puppy, but has since faded and blended into just a few white hairs that remain on her shoulder. "Bug" is also co-bred/co-owned with Lonna Fisher of Sunflower Kennels. Bug's first time in the ring resulted in Reserve Futurity Female, breeder/owner/handled! We couldn't be prouder of our little under dog. We look forward to continuing Bug's show career, as well as looking forward to trying tracking with her. Bug has quite the nose on her, sometimes it leads her into trouble. We also have high hopes of having our very first brace to show in the coming years with Bug and her sister Stamp. Bug is our little ballerina dancer. She is very light on her feet and spends more time with her feet off the ground then on. She loves to "get high" by standing on anything she can see, including me, this is a trait she seemed to inherit from her mother. Bug has several nick names "Bitty Bug" or "Baby Bug", she is a very happy go lucky kind of girl. ***FLASH***On June 7th, 2015, Bug showed in her Maturity and gaited her way to RESERVE MATURITY FEMALE!!! A huge thank you to Emily Cremer of Qisma's Kennels for handling Bug to this win. Emily met Bug just minutes before entering the ring and we couldn't be more pleased with the results of this duo.

Birth: 1757Spotsylvania CountyVirginia, USADeath: 1816DotLogan CountyKentucky, USADr. Beverly Allen: A fallen ministerThen and NowBy J. Mark LoweRobertson County Historical SocietyDr. Beverly Anthony Allen lived just south of Dot, Ky. near the state line. At the time of this death in1816, he left a will naming his wife, Anna, and eight children (Ann, Coke, Mary Allen, Sarah, Martha ‘Patsy', Caroline, Harriett, Hayes S. and William.) It will require additional research to locate his parents, but two of his siblings are identified within this history. His brother, Reuben Allen, lived and died in Logan County. Another brother, William ‘Billy' Allen returned to Elbert County, Ga.Let's learn more about the story as told by Peter Cartwright and the voices of others who knew this "captivating" gentleman."My father sent me to school, boarding me at Dr. Beverly Allen's of Logan County; but my teacher was not well qualified to teach correctly, and I made but small progress. I, however, learned to read, write and cypher a little, but very imperfectly. Dr. Allen, with whom I boarded, in an early day, had been a traveling preacher in the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was sent to Georgia and did much good. He married in that country a fine, pious woman, a member of the Church; but he, like David, in an evil hour fell into sin, violated the laws of the country, and a writ was issued for his apprehension.He warned the sheriff not to enter his room, and assured him if he did he would kill him. The sheriff rushed upon him, and Allen shot him dead. He fled from that country to escape justice, and settled in Logan County (then called Rogues' Harbour.) His family followed him, and here he practiced medicine.It fell to my lot, after I had been a preacher several years, to visit the doctor on his dying bed. I talked to Dr. Allen, and prayed with him."According to the Charleston (S.C.) Evening Gazette, 16 Feb 1786, "On Sunday last, at Cainhoy, the Rev. Beverly Allen, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was married to the amiable Miss Anna Singletary, youngest daughter of John Singletary, Esq of St. Thomas parish." Bishop Asbury went from Charleston, and met the first Conference in North Carolina. The first Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America was held at Green Hill's in North Carolina, April 20, 1785. This conference included all of Virginia, North and South Carolina. Here Asbury sent a resolute and able missionary, Beverly Allen, and designated his appointment to Georgia. It is very significant, for it literally meant that his circuit comprehended the whole State. It was new ground, and he had to cultivate it where he could. He returned to the next Conference with a report of 78 members gathered into society. Beverly Allen was now ordained elder, and began to range.From Historical Collections of Georgia, the related story of fugitive minister, Beverly Allen.In the year 1790, Beverly and Billy Allen carried on the business of merchandise in the County of Elbert [Georgia.] Their storehouse and residence were on a hilld on Broad River, to the Cherokee ford on the Savannah. There were both young, and belonged to a family, when emigrated from Virginia to Georgia soon after the Revolutionary War. Beverly Allen was handsome, with a fine voice and ardent temperament. He was one of the converts of Bishop Asbury. Preaching was a rarity when Beverly Allen became a convert. Men pricked up their ears, their souls were stirred within them, when they heard striking exhibitions of the punishments of the lower world for their sins, and the joys of the upper for their repentance.When Beverly Allen held forth upon these subjects, the whole population crowded together to hear him. He became the idol of the people.Some time in the year 1795, Allen and his brother, went to Augusta to buy goods with the money they had and the credit they could obtain. While there, the foreign merchant of whom they had purchased their first stock of goods found them buying goods of others, instead of first discharging their debt to him. He arranged for an order to be issued for their arrest, returnable to the U.S. District Court. Hearing about this order, the Allens armed themselves and boarded up in a public house. The Marshal, Major Robert Forsyth, pursued them and forced the door open. He was immediately shot dead by Beverly Allen. The brothers fled to Elbert County, and were pursued by a warrant for their arrest upon a charge of murder. William Barnett, was the Sheriff of Elbert County. Upon receiving the warrant, he assembled a large force and began a pursuit. The Allens had concealed themselves in a high log-house near Beaver Dam. Their location was communicated to Sheriff Barnett and he surrounded the house with guards. After many fruitless attempts to get the Allens out, the house was set on fire. Billy Allen opened the doors and gave himself up. The fire was extinguished and the search commenced for Beverly Allen, the principal offender. He was concealed between the layer of the roof, but was discovered. The two Allens were confined in the county jail. The news spread that a servant of God was in jail for resisting an effort to take him from his liberty, to separate him from his home, friends and flock, by confining him in a jail for a debt to one who was not a citizen of the State.The Sheriff fearing a rescue attempt by a local association, headed off with his prisoners to Wilkes County, Georgia. He decided it might be safer to return to Elbert County. On the next night, the jail of Elbert was attacked by 200 men, the doors of the jail forced open and the Allens were permitted to escape. The friends of the prisoners had taken all of the powder out of all of the guns of the guards to prevent any accidental discharge. Beverly Allen fled to the most distant western frontier of the United States. Billy Allen, his brother, was permitted to return to his home in Elbert County, where he remained unmolested during his life.Bishop Francis Asbury recorded in his journal about Allen: (Mon, January 20 ,1794)Poor Beverly Allen, who has been going from bad to worse these seven or eight years – speaking against me to preachers and people, and writing to Mr. Wesley and Doctor Coke, and being thereby the source of most of the mischief that has followed; and lastly, having been agent for Mr. (unreadable), is now secured in jail for shooting Major Forsyth through the head. The Major was marshal for the federal court in Georgia, and was bout to serve a writ upon B. Allen; the masterpiece of all is, a petition is prepared, declaring him to have shown marks of insanity previous to his killing the Major! The poor Methodists also must unjustly be put to the rack on his account, although he has been expelled from amongst us these two years. I pity, I pray for him – that, if his life be given up to justice, his soul may yet be saved. Burial:

We made this cake for my little one's Bday recently who turned 4!!! Yes a Train Cake - This is one of the easiest yet cutest cakes I have ever made. It involves minimal exercise and the decoration can also be done easily with the sweeties you get in any Supermarket. Involving kids in decorating the cake is a challenging job; of-course its up to you to take the call - but slightly older children will definitely like decorating their own cake. Here its just arranging the readily available items to your choice and I think it helps kids to be a bit creative too! But don't be surprised if you run short of smarties or white buttons etc....you know where it would have gone ;) Here's how we made our Train Cake. You need Train shaped Non stick baking tray - 1 Self Raising Flour - 225g Unsalted Butter at room temperature - 225g Caster Sugar - 225g Eggs - 4 Vanilla essence - 1 tsp What you have to do is Pre heat the Oven to 170C. Grease the Train Cake baking tray with Butter and then dust it with Flour. Place the Caster Sugar and Butter into a bowl. Mix together with a an electric blender until it is creamy consistency. Beat the Eggs in a bowl and then add this to the creamed Butter and Sugar. Continue mixing well. Now fold in the Flour carefully with a spoon. Add the Vanilla essence and mix well. Spoon this mixture into the Train Cake baking tray, fill only half the carriage ( the mixture will raise in the Oven) Place in the centre of the Oven for about 25-30 minutes. To check if the Cake is done, insert a skewer into the centre of each Cake then remove. If the skewer comes out clean then the Cake is cooked. Turn out onto a cooling rack. Cake is ready for decorating. To decorate the Train Cake you can use your imagination and the ingredients available nearby. Here I have used : Smarties for the cargo White Buttons for the steam Writing Icing tubes for emphasising on the detail Fruit Leather for tracks Mixed sweeties for wheels The fun is making your own which gives immense satisfaction for parents and above all when kids love it - it becomes a super hit!!! Posted by Rashmi at 8:47 PM 12 comments: Links to this post Tuesday, October 4, 2011 Corn Boondi Bhel As we all know that 'we' drool over chaat items irrespective of which part of the globe we are living :-p. For people who doesn't know about Chaat items (poor them) - 'Chaat' is a collective noun used for many spicy Indian snack items like Bhel Puri, Pani Puri, Masala Puri, Samosa, Cutlet, Dahi Puri, Papdi Chaat, Sev Puri, Aloo Tikki, Dahi Vada...........now how can anyone resist from this list :-p Well as I said earlier never will Chaats get boring but still wanted to try something new. Corn Boondi Bhel is one such item which was as tasty as it looks :). Yes its a strange combination of crispy spicy Boondi with fresh Sweet Corn kernels. It might turn out a bit fiery for young kids. In that case, what you can do is skip the Boondi and Chillies then just mix rest of the ingredients with desired spice levels for a nutritious snack ;). This comes in handy for a post school evening snack, when you have flying visitors at home or justwith friends over for tea or even on a sluggish Sunday afternoons :-p....All said and done I don't need to find any reasons to eat Chaat ! Serves : 4 Preparation time : 10 - 15 minutes Cooking time : 0 Ingredients: Spicy Boondi - 2 CupsSweet Corn Kernels boiled and drained - 2 CupsRed Onions finely chopped - 1 CupCucumber chopped - 1 CupTomato chopped - 1 CupGreen Chillies finely chopped - 1Roasted Peanuts - 1/2 Cup ( could be peeled or with the skin)Chaat Masala to sprinkleHandful of Coriander Leaves finely choppedLemon Juice - 1 TbspSweet Chutney - 1/4 CupSalt if required Method : Firstly place Onions, Tomato, Cucumber in a large mixing bowl. Add Corn, Boondi, roasted Peanuts, Green Chillies, Chaat Masala, Coriander Leaves, Lemon Juice and Sweet Chutney (here add some Salt if required).

Fergie, real name Stacy Ann Ferguson, an Amrican singer songwriter, rapper, fashion designer and actress, has been getting encouragement nowadays from another Hollywood craze Nicole Kidman about having a baby. Kidman is supporting her as the 36 years old singer has so far been unsuccessful to have one by her husband Josh Duhamel. Nicole Kidman recently lightened their locks for their new film, The Paperboy. Kidman appeared on the New Orleans set this week with shockingly bright blonde or a wig, a big change from her recent reddish hue looking like Pamela Anderson. The actress vamped up the look on Wednesday with lots of makeup, wearing a half-buttoned blouse, tiny denim shorts and sky-high heels.Kidman and Fergie have been friend closefriend since 2009 and this support comes when Fergie is almost giving up hope. “Fergie’s aim to get pregnant hasn’t gone to plan. She seems convinced she’s going to get pregnant soon, but it’s been months, if not years,” a source told British magazine Look. “We’re hoping for her sake that she’s right and she does conceive soon. If not, she’s thinking about a plan B. And Nicole knows what they’re going through, so she’s been agreat emotional support.” Nicole, 43, has a three-year-old daughter Sunday Rose with her husband Keith Urban (2006-present), and they welcomed another girl, Faith Margaret, in December last year. The baby was born via a surrogate, and the couple kept the pregnancy a secret until after her birth. She has also two addopted children Isabella and Connor with her ex-husband Tom Cruise(1990-2001). She previously suffered an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage but finally she made it successful by a surrogate mother for her daugter Faith Margaret. Therefore “Nicole has said to Fergie not to lose heart, she has encouraged her that she has plenty of time,"the source said.

I am a budding developer & shall be doing a lot of data analysis (I'm into bioinformatics), programming, working with databases, compiling, CD/DVD burning, DVD movie editing etc. For all this I think I'll need a seperate TMP partition - Right?? I intend to have large amounts of personal files plus some new program compiling/installing like MySQL, Oracle etc. I will be installing SimplyMEPIS 3.3 which is desktop-oriented & lacks many devel packages. My current setup: / - more than 3GB (Root) /home - more than 3GB (HOME) /boot - 50MB (Boot) /tmp -???? (TEMP) Could someone please put in their recommended EXACT values for the size of partitions (other than boot of course)? Thanks a lot. Coolblue Mara 03-14-2005 06:13 AM Having separate /tmp in your case may be risky. You may have very big temporary files and may easily run out of space on /tmp. My suggestion:

10 hour pork/chicken bone broth, homemade chashu, hanjuku tamago, miso tare, menma. Green onions on the side. The assembly line Like any ramen shop, it's important to have your ingredients ready to go. The bowls have been filled with their respective tare (shoyu in the middle, miso above and below) Tamago and Chashu Probably the two most thoroughly enjoyed aspects of ramen, the egg and the pork. Almost all bowls have some form of both. Chashu up close This chashu, unlike most traditional variations, is slowly roasted in a deep walled pan after being seared. This creates a beautiful browning on the outside and renders out copious amounts of fat, which I then use to build up the miso tare. Despite being pork belly, the normally centimeter lines of fat have shrunk considerably. Make no mistake, however, this chashu is supremely tender, melting apart in your mouth. Hanjuku tamago The key to a perfect yolk is just timing. Being precise pays off. Drop your eggs in boiling water for 6 minutes, shock in ice water, and love thy eggs. These have been steeped in soy, stock, and mirin for around 4 hours. Fresh noodles I've made noodles in the past, but I loved this brand so much I just went for it. The medium wavy cut and heavy kansui flavor pairs well with miso. Pork Stock I strain the 10 hour stock into a separate vessel. It's fairly clear, having simmered on low heat for 10 hours, but has a decent bit of fat retained by the gelatin to add just a touch of richness. Heat the stock Heating the stock to a boil is important. At a restaurant, the stock oftentimes isn't strained; it just continues to cook away. I find that by removing particulate prior to heating, I can get the stock roaring hot without worrying about it over-clouding or, perhaps more importantly, without having to strain on the fly. Noodle boiling I add the noodles to a rolling boil only after the stock has reached temp, if it isn't hot already. In they go! While the noodles cook... Ladle your now heated stock into the tare filled bowls. Then, they'll be ready for your noodles. The heat from the broth shouldn't escape too much, and if your broth has fat droplets still (since why would you skim that?) the fat will act as an insulator. Some people do the reverse, adding stock over the noodles, but I find this makes timing difficult. Filling up. You'll notice the bowl in the middle with the shoyu tare looks remarkably darker. Tare can really change the look and flavor of the dish! The finished bowl In general, I like to keep my toppings simple, though this is purely a matter of preference. I also try to maintain a certain "window" in the bowl that shows the eater the noodles and broth. It adds to the emphasis of "parts" within the dish, and how those parts are meant to work together to make ramen. Up Close

Today I want to share with you another Christmas nail art, that is, gingerbread cookies nails. Gingerbread is a sweet baked product varying from cakes to human-shaped biscuits and flavored with honey or molasses rather than just using sugar. Sometimes on Christmas these biscuits are decorated and then given as a sweet present to relatives or family members, so I also present you my delicious gingerbread nail art. For this nail art I've used Barry M Textured Nail Polish Lady 333 for base and Kleancolor Metallic Brown 207 to stamp these little men. I hope you like it. Thank you and please comment....

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- As the debate over uranium mining heads to the legislature, a new group has been created supporting Virginia's decades-old ban on mining the radioactive ore. CommonHealthVA.org made its debut Monday. Its organizers say it represents more than 50 municipalities and groups. They include the cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach, the Southern Environmental Law Center and other groups that have previously stated their opposition to uranium mining. The new group announced its creation just one hour before the Virginia Coal and Energy Commission was to take up uranium mining. It is expected to offer a recommendation on whether the General Assembly should begin developing regulations for uranium mining. The legislature convenes on Wednesday. Virginia Uranium Inc. has proposed tapping a 119-million-pound deposit of the ore in Pittsylvania County.

Each Christmas week, my father and I go shopping. We go a few days before Christmas and he complains about how early we are going or the traffic or finding Mom the right gift. One year, I practiced this song several times in the car as we were going. I asked him what he thought and he said that it was fine. So I sang it as an ending to our Christmas cantata. He cried, which surprised me. I asked him why he was crying and he said that he never paid attention to the song when I was singing it for him. LOL. But this song has more meaning for me because of that memory.

The art of origami dates back to the 1600's. First practiced by the Chinese and Japanese, the art of paper folding was and continues to be popular in many cultures. When it was originally started, origami instructions were passed on verbally. Over the years the details and steps required for origami projects have been written down and/or relayed through diagrams. Folding paper may not seem to be very challenging but as the projects advance, origami can in fact be quire complicated and complex. Who uses origami in society today? No doubt there are many people who still do origami simply as a pass-time or hobby. For children and adults alike this activity can provide hours of enjoyment. Origami is great on rainy days and snow days. Once starting a project, it's difficult to stop until the desired result is achieved. It may take several attempts but eventually the results will be top-notch. Origami has grown in popularity as a teaching tool. Educators and teachers are using origami in the classroom. This activity has proven to be effective in teaching children to be patient and attentive. Both of these skills are necessary in a group as well as in every day living. Origami also teaches children about problems solving and other aspects of mathematics that are relative to life. It also encourages children to set goals and work toward achieving them. Psychologists and physicians use origami as a therapeutic tool. It has proven to be successful in the treatment of mental health patients. It helps the patients to become more relaxed in their environment and with their doctor. Besides filling many lonely hours in the hospital, origami teaches patients to get along with and help one another. The art of paper folding can actually bring people out of their shell and encourage them to participate in conversation and group activities. Parents use origami at home to help their children develop different skills. This activity can help children develop their reading and writing skills. For young children it can help them learn how to use both hands together. Origami teaches concentration, patience and problem solving, all imperative to the growth and development of children. Besides the educational and behavioral advantages of origami, parents can use this activity to occupy a child who's bored or lonely. It's an inexpensive activity that a parent and child or children can do together. This means time spent together and an opportunity to build a good parent/child relationship. When people first began practicing the art of origami, they probably had no idea of the amazing benefits this activity would produce. Likely initially used as a decoration or simply a way to kill a few hours, origami has been transformed into an activity that has many magnificent uses. There are books written about the art of origami and its benefits for various situations. The Internet has loads of information about the origami. If you'd like to learn more about this great activity, log onto the worldwide web and start learning.Search

I was working on a very similar solution to the one Daniel Jakult presents for this problem, when a co-worker pointed me to the aforementioned post. I'd never heard of svnversion (bad me, I know), and, since I gleaned useful things from his original post, it's only fair I reciprocate with my improved script.So, without further adieu, here it is. Follow his instructions for use; the trick is right-clicking the "Run Script" build phase and copying this script directly into the dialog. Make sure that "Shell" is set to /usr/bin/perl (add -w too, preferably).

the misadventures of a misguided, maladjusted, clumsy, immature, goofy, overworked, underpayed, dateless, clueless, overeducated, under-whelmed, and snarky junkie. Sunday, June 16, 2013 It's hard to join the two halves of my personality when it comes to my mother, I loved her and admired her, but I find myself also feeling like she was so cold, sometimes borderline cruel. My father told me that she rarely told him she loved him. And I remembered that he was right, she rarely told us she loved us. Not without being prompted. And even then it was more over the last few years. It wasn't until a few years ago that she would end her conversation with "I love you," and even then it was because I had said it first. When she was in her final days she was convinced she had been a horrible mother. She was saying it over and over. And I kept telling her she was a good mother and told her about the good memories- the home made play-doh, the water fights in summer, the fact that she wasn't overbearing and that she had let us be us, but a small part of me wanted to point out to her that she had not been a perfect mother. She rarely praised us, she never told us how she felt about us, other people told us she was proud of us but she didn't. But what purpose would it serve to kick a dying woman while she is already down? It would have served no purpose to make her feel worse in her final days. But it left me with so many things left unsaid. Things that should have been said years ago but never were because I just didn't know what to say. And those things you always promised you would tell her before she died, but while she was dying you didn't want to say it because you fear it will be admitting she is dying. In the end, I never said much, just kept telling her I loved her. Because I did. I do. Flawed though she was, she was my mother. It's not as if we were perfect children. We hated each other, fought constantly, we truly just seemed to live to just be evil to each other. And she had to live with the constant fighting and our refusal to ever like each other, or reconcile with each other. We are all three past the age where this is just sibling rivalry. And in the middle sat my mother, wanting a family like you see on tv, the kids who at the end of the day will always love each other, a husband who is able to juggle work and life deftly and seamlessly, and a bit more money in the bank than they ever had. And there she sat with three children who truly hated each other, a husband never home always at work, and a bank account just barely in the black most years. She did the best she could. It's all I have to comfort myself with. She tried. She wanted us, she loved us, she just didn't know the best way to show it. I guess that's how I make those two personalities collide- by accepting that we are all not perfect and she did the best she knew how.

This week Broadway audiences got a taste of the absurd with the double bill of No Man's Land and Waiting for Godot, starring Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, which opened on November 24. In addition to the existential dramas, the Carole King musical Beautiful, starring Tony nominee Jessie Mueller, began Broadway previews this week. The new show joins the baby boomer-friendly A Night with Janis Joplin, Jersey Boys and Motown. The latter show continues to reach out and touch box office gold. Here’s a look at who was on top—and who was not—for the week ending November 24:

I've been saying this for years. Nice to see that bastion of consumer advocacy, Consumer Reports, finally catching on. Washington, DC: A new survey by Consumer Reports shows that mid-range appliance brands are often more reliable than many high-end brands such as Thermador and Viking. On Monday, Consumer Reports released highlights from its "Annual Products Reliability Survey." The full survey will be published in the magazine's May issue. Thermador gas rangesHigh-End Brand No Guarantee Interestingly, Consumer Reports found that high-end brands of major kitchen appliance are more prone to need repair early in their life-span. Thermador, Dacor, Viking and Jenn-Air rank among the least reliable brands of major cooking appliances as identified by Consumer Reports readers. Consumer Reports found that 33% of consumers' Viking gas ranges and at least 15% of Thermador, Dacor and Viking gas cook tops were repaired or had an unrepairable problem between 2002 and 2006. According to the report, Whirlpool, Kenmore and GE "prove to be safe bets for major appliance shoppers," having relatively low repair rates across a variety of appliances, including electric and gas ranges, ovens, refrigerators, washers and driers. Results are based on more than 950,000 Consumer Reports reader responses to the magazine's online and paper survey. Because consumers own more than one type of product in the same category, the entire Consumer Reports study contains more than 5.1 million product reports. Thermador: A Host of Problems There are reports that some Thermador Gas Ranges PRG366US are defective due to problems with the patented simmer control potentiometer, igniter switch and motherboard, which could result in safety hazards. Owners of Thermador gas ranges have reported to that they have also had difficulty getting replacement parts through the company. In 2002, BSH Home Appliance Corp. voluntarily recalled 2,460 Thermador gas ranges. The recall was initiated because of a burn hazard to customers caused by the venting of hot air below the small oven, which caused the metal surface of the door to heat up. The Cost to Consumers A new Thermador unit can cost more than $5,000. Range repair costs can be as high as $400, and units may require repeated repairs. Some repair services have advised consumers to purchase an extended warranty for their Thermador units - at an additional cost of $450-$500. While the Consumer Reports verdict is clear, many consumers will probably continue to buy high-end appliances because of their status. As Laura Ries, principal in the Ries & Ries branding consultancy told Marketing Daily: "McDonald's coffee came out better than Starbucks in another Consumer Reports survey - but the perception of Starbucks as superior is so firmly entrenched that McDonald's would find it extremely difficult to overcome."

I once said that Lost is like reading the first 3 chapters of 10 different books, then going back 6 months later and reading 17 random pages from 5 of the books. What do you do with the other 5 books? (the story started with 10 remember?) You lose those books for at least a year. (I’d like to point out at this point that I’ve used several numbers in this post. Before you call the feds, I’ve done my research and 3, 10, 6, 17, 5, 5, and 10 are not illegal when used in that order. Some numbers ARE illegal. Be careful.) Ok so here we are at least a year and a half later, and you find those remaining five books. You pick up on those where you left off low those many months ago. You remember what was going on in those chapters, (sort of) but you’ve basically lost interest (lost…get it?). One of the guys in the 3rd book (of the 2nd set of 5) turns out to be the same guy that caused this one guy from the 4th book (of the first set of 5) to loose his job, and thus go home, get drunk and beat his kids. Who did those kids turn out to be? Fuck you, that’s who. And scene. UPDATE 5/27/07 Damn you Henry Ian Cusick and your acursed ambiguous accent! A pox on you! A reader pointed out that Demond is supposed to be Sottish, not Irish. Two comics in and I’ve already issued a retraction. Thanks to Adam Y.

Post navigation ← A soul as black as eyeliner He’s a pirate first, and… → 2 Comments Adam Y May 23, 2007 at 11:23 am Reply Man, I don’t want to sound like a fanboy here, but isn’t Des supposed to be Scottish? I can understand the mistake though. Despite being Irish and living near the Scottish border I have yet to hear an accent quite like his. I mean, it’s all over the place. The last episode I watched his accent seemed to be embarking on a world tour. Joel May 23, 2007 at 12:47 pm Reply @Adam Y You might be on to something. I always assumed he was Irish in origin because his accent sounds anything but Scottish. From time to time he sounds plain English which confuses things further. IMDB says Henry Ian Cusick’s parents are Scottish and Peruvian. Lostpedia lists Desmond as being from both Scotland (though he was in the Scottish Military it doesnt say if he was born there) and Essex, England, where he lived with Penny. Maybe I should change the comic?

I cosplay Castiel, and I saw a Dean at A-Kon, so walked up to him and stood behind him. When he turned around we were almost touching noses. I was just staring at him, trying not to laugh. And he was totally in character! For the rest of the day we were hanging out with a Sam, Gabriel, and Bobby. It was really fun, and we're planning on meeting up again at San Japan! I almost scared myself when I looked in the mirror after putting in my contacts. I have dark brown eyes and these blue contacts I bought from pinkyparadise made them REALLY blue. And they were comfortable. So worth the amount I payed.

It was a very chilly day here in the DC area. Given this, A. Paul and I decided to use the car for shelter and visit the Torpedo Factory, a WWII torpedo factory converted into an Arts Center, across the Potomac River. The Arts Center sits along the riverfront in historic Alexandria, Virginia, and houses 6 galleries and 82 working studios occupied by 165 artists. Artists' works range from ceramic, fiberwork, metalwork, paintings, jewelry, and prints. Each artist at the Torpedo Factory is selected through a juried process in order to gain space in a studio. The studios that were open, we found the artists to be informative, welcoming and open to sharing insights into their techniques. Our first encounter was with Sheep Jones of Studio 7, who introduced A. Paul to her use of cold wax medium in her paintings, providing a hands on demonstration of its properties in oil painting. Sheep's works, whether small or large, are rich with intense color and layers. You can check out her work at or at  A. Paul with printmaker Phyllis Cohen  Cecelia Burnett  In the next two studios, we met up with Cecelia Burnett, who works in acrylic washes that have a fine silkscreen appearance on canvas, and with Phyllis Cohen, a printmaker who has been with the Printmakers Inc at Torpedo Factory since its inception 35 years ago. Phyllis was very familiar with our small town as she has a personal collection of whiteline wood block prints from Provincetown, though she herself pratices the Japanese woodblock printing technique in her work. To see these two artirsts' works, visit and the printmakers site As of last year, the Torpedo Factory began offering summer artist in residence programs, which was very successful and will be implemented again this summer. You can read more about the studios, galleries, art school, and visiting artists programs on the Torpedo Factory site . torpedo on display inside the art center  Clint & Kerry Filiberto at Principle Gallery A short walk down King Street , one of the major mainfares in Alexandria, was the Principle Gallery. We made a quick jog into the gallery and spoke with Clint, who gave us a more personal introduction to main artists of the gallery. You can check out the gallery site . Also helpful was Zoe Atarodian, Assistant Gallery Director at PC Art, next door to Principle Gallery, who provided us information on a new artists complex in Lorton, VA, called the Workhouse Arts Center. We are not sure that we will be able to put it on our schedule due to the facility being closed until Wednesday, which is a great loss for this trip given the size of the complex. The Workhouse Arts Center has been open only since 2008 and is a converted correctional facility over 200,000 square feet that now houses working artist studios, galleries, and workshops. Artists, whether interested in teaching a workshop or taking one, can check out their website at workhousearts.org . Washington, D.C. Ascending the metro to Dupont Circle  Washington Monument  A quick jog back across the Potomac and a quick metro trip to Dupont Circle, A. Paul and I scouted out galleries along R Street, Q Street, and 14th Street. A quick bite at a local eatery and we were off on a cab ride to Georgetown to see what was happening along M Street. Though the weather was brutally frigid, shoppers still found enough energy to dart in and out of the shops along the way. A. Paul and I decided that we had enough of the cold and are savoring tomorrow's visit to the Smithsonian and other galleries along the Mall. We leave you with a small taste of the structural beauty of Washington DC and look forward to sharing our finds at the museums tomorrow. Tuesday we await our visit to the Phillips Collection.

BREVARD, N.C. – The King University women's soccer team opened the 2013 season at Brevard College and the Tornados took a lead in the first half. Brevard netted a pair of goals early in the second half to gain separation and take the 3-1 victory. King (0-1) put pressure on the Tornados early in the game, but play shifted to the other end of the field in the 17th minute when Brevard (1-0) ripped three shots in a one minute span. After the first shot went wide, freshman goalkeeper Nicole Dagher recorded a save, and the final shot was stopped by the Tornado defense to keep the game scoreless. Brevard then laced a couple more shots before they broke through in the 23rd minute as Sarah Fonger took a pass from Elena Crowe and netted her first goal of the season. Dagher registered two more saves later in the frame to keep the score 1-0 at the break. The Tornados extended their lead 10 minutes into the second half, netting two goals in a three minute span to take a commanding 3-0 lead. The first goal came on a deflected shot from Kasi Benskin in the 56th minute, and the other came from Katherine Nickels on a fast break pass from Yuki Soga in the 59th minute. King then put pressure on the Brevard defense, ripping four shots in a five minute stretch. Devon Shanklin may have had the best opportunity to score as she took a penalty kick that was saved by Brevard goalkeeper Brittany Webster to start the spurt. Rachel Thorpe then took back-to-back shots that were both stopped by the Brevard defense in the 64th minute. The pressure finally paid off in the 89th minute as Shalisa Barnett scored her first career goal. Barnett took a free kick from the top of the box, and buried the shot to get King on the board. However, it wasn't enough as Brevard took the 3-1 victory. "I am disappointed with result, we didn't match Brevard's intensity throughout the game," head coach Simon Duffy said. "We moved the ball well in the opening 20 minutes, but after that, passes were off and we were second to every ball. Hopefully we can show up in the home opener on Saturday against Bluefield College." Brevard outshot King 15-9 in the victory while King had four corner kicks to Brevard's one. Dagher registered seven saves in her first career start, and Barnett accounted for King's lone goal. Paula Doran registered her first career assist on Barnett's goal. King will look to rebound on Saturday in their home opener when they host Bluefield College. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:00 p.m., at Parks Field on the campus of King University. King will provide both live stats and live video with both links being found on

Posted: June 15, 2014 | Author: waterlillied | Filed under: Text Talk! | Tags: kkk, korean, laughing, talk, text |1 Comment So for those who have come across ‘kkk’ when talking to a Korean person online might wonder what it means – though it might be obvious to some, it may be less to others! I for one thought that, because in English ‘kkk’ can mean ‘okay okay okay’ or ‘kay kay kay’, ‘kkk’ might mean the same thing and that this wasn’t a Korean thing they were typing. But it is indeed Korean! ‘Kkk’ is the Korean equivalent of ‘hahaha’ like is for the Japanese. The sound of kkk is one made with your tongue pressed against the roof of your mouth, it’s supposed to sound like a kind of stifled laughter. Obviously this doesn’t mean people actually laugh like this in real life, some do some don’t, it’s just text talk to show laughter. Like ‘haha’ or ‘lol’. E.g. Just a lil’ post on how, obviously, kkk = heeheehee 🙂 Advertisements Share this:Like Loading...
