Report: 2013-2014 NGK Racing Series Round 1 Report From Yas Marina Circuit
19 Oct, 2013, 08:00 BST
DUBAI, UAE, October 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- Double wins for Papantonis and Ammermuller
- Annivas and Channake take a win apiece in Class 2
- Annivas takes two in UAE Clio Cup
The opening round of the 2013-2104 NGK Racing Series took place at Yas Marina Circuit, featuring two hard fought races on the day and setting the scene for what is sure to be an intriguing season ahead.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130508/613221 )
Michael Ammermuller starred as he powered to overall victory in both races, at the wheel of the Lechner Racing Academy ME Porsche GT3 Cup 991 and setting the fastest lap of the day in the process. He was chased hard all day by Clemens Schmid who was runner-up on both occasions, with Zaid Ahkannani third.
Leon Price and Jordan Grogor shared the cockpit of the Dragon Racing Ferrari 458 Challenge finishing sixth and fourth respectively.
Reigning NGK Racing Series Class 1 champion Costas Papantonis at the wheel of the Gulf Petrochem SEAT powered to victory in both races unchallenged. His expected rival Brian McGinley, in the Phoenix Motorsport Opel Astra, failed to make it on to the grid.
In Class 2 Alexandros Annivas (Gulf Petrochem Renault Clio) and Rupesh Channake (Lap57 Honda) shared a win apiece. Annivas qualified on pole and made the most of his early pace in race one to take the win. Channake recovered from brake cooling issues in the first race to snatch victory in race two.
In the UAE Clio Cup - race within a race - it was Annivas who took top honours in both races ahead of Gulf Petrochem teammate and brother Konstantinos Annivas in second place and Jonathan Mullan third.
NGK Racing Series quotes
Class 1 double winner Costas Papantonis in the Gulf Petrochem SEAT:
"We had no problem throughout the weekend. Everything went fine. A good day for our team with six podiums on the day which I dedicate to our sponsors Gulf Petrochem who have stood by us and backed us for the past two years. We want to bring home all the titles this year in their honour."
Class 2, Race 2 winner Rupesh Channake in the Lap57 Honda:
"We had some issues on the day with the car which hampered me in the first race but was happy to get it on the podium. We had some brake cooling issues which we worked on to resolve between the races. This gave me the edge I needed, and the reward was a victory in the second race. Now the plan is to keep the momentum going and we are targeting the title again."
Class 2, Race 1 winner and double winner in the UAE Clio Cup Alex Annivas in the Gulf Petrochem Renault Clio:
"There was very little to separate the Clios in qualifying, but in the race it was different. I put my head down, ignored the mirrors and did everything to make a gap which I did. The first race was okay, I had some pressure from Rupesh [Channake]. In the second race a I got a very good start and managed to hold on to the lead for a two or three laps. But Rupesh found pace and was too quick on the straights. So I decided to consolidate and save the car, it's still early in the season. So a win and second place in Class 2, plus two wins in the UAE Clio Cup is a good way to start the race. I am very happy and dedicate this to my sponsors Gulf Petrochem."

Anglers & Demons
The Salmon
By Michael Wigan
William Collins 360pp £25 order from our bookshop
G.E.M. Skues: The Man of the Nymph
By Tony Hayter
Robert Hale 304pp £25 order from our bookshop
The salmon is, as Michael Wigan puts it neatly, 'natural royalty' – but only among fish. Irredeemably cold-blooded and scaly, it does not qualify for the sentimental adoration bestowed on badgers, seals, hedgehogs and so on. Apart from a few anglers, ichthyologists and tender-hearted pescaphiles, no one cares much about fish. If they did, the ecological and welfare horror story that is industrial salmon farming would have been outlawed long ago.

There's something to be mentioned for the concept that excessive authorities is a foul thing. Excessive taxes and burdensome regulations can maintain again economic development. Help packages can make individuals dependent on government and scale back the inducement for people to work exhausting. As an institution that receives income from taxes relatively than from providing items and companies that customers actually need, the government has little cause to spend money effectively. Not like personal businesses, the federal government will hold gathering revenue whether or not it does a superb job or not. The Dems didn't want any a part of a dialogue after they drug us down this road and got us into this disastrous mess, which is Obamacare. For me, there's a conflict between utilizing these beautiful writing media as either helpful or collectible objects. any time the government will get involved with something you have to slog via a jillion piles of paperwork they usually by no means get it right anway. extra authorities, wheee!
Many individuals really feel stress of their daily lives. Stress may cause you to overeat, feel tired, and never need to do anything. Healthy eating and common bodily activity may help offset the effects of stress. If you're feeling exhausted along with your work simply leave it and go outdoors for jiffy it is a simple fast solution to relax yourself.
Whether or not you could have misplaced a tooth as a consequence of decay or have suffered a trauma, a dental implant can give you again your winning smile. Now more well-liked than ever, dental implants are a really perfect replacement for a missing tooth or tooth, able to decelerate any future lack of bone and safeguard tissue across the affected space. Transferring heavy equipment up steps. There have been many times that we have been unable to have a break or lunch especially after 5,6 or extra hrs.. Standing for many hrs.
Go to Advocate BroMenn Health & Fitness Middle locally, find out about programming updates, and more! Moreover being able to repel mosquitoes, betel leaves are also very helpful for treating boils, however only for boils that started to break. The Nationwide Health Service began life in 1948. It inherited a patchwork system of medical care – many hospitals were charities, or half-charity, half-private.
This country tends to view all the pieces in a vaccum, subject by issue. However it's all the same subject. Wages. Wages have declined on the same fee as union membership has declined based mostly on cost of residing. Firms used to offer healthcare to draw workers, now with jobs being scarce, they need not provide it now. Decrease wages implies that more people need public help and those making low wages pay decrease or no taxes. And oil companies and GE and others pay no taxes. For those who decrease revenue, you then decrease companies which might be wanted, like health care, paved roads, and money to coach medical doctors, Medicare, rubbish collection, police, and so on. I adore it when individuals complain the ice just isn't off the road quick enough……you want that, you gotta pay for it.

I LOVE Dolly Darlings. I had a couple when I was little and a few years ago decided to get one that I saw on Ebay. This started one of those mild obsessions, and I now have quite a few. I even started a Flickr group for them.
Men can be SO insensitive! What decade are these, as I can't remember them. (I was probably in my 30s at the time!)ReplyDelete

Loyola College of Business receives re-accreditation from AACSB
April 9, 2010
The Loyola University New Orleans College of Business has been re-accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business' international board of directors.
The accreditation, a distinction held by fewer than 5 percent of business schools in the world, was awarded to the COB after the association completed a lengthy, comprehensive review of the college's undergraduate and graduate business administration and accounting programs.
"This designation is a testament to the dedication of our faculty and staff and the quality of education they provide to the students of this university," said Dean William Locander, Ph.D. "We are proud to remain among this ultra-selective group of business schools and produce the next generation of ethically-grounded, highly-trained business leaders."
AACSB is an association of educational institutions, businesses and other organizations devoted to the advancement of higher education in management education and the premier accrediting agency of collegiate business schools and accounting programs worldwide.
The COB will also be recognized at the AACSB International Conference and Annual Meeting to be held in Anaheim, Calif., later this month.
For more information on the AACSB, contact Amy Ponzillo, public relations coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 813-367-5207. For more information on the COB, or to schedule interviews with Locander, contact Catherine Koppel in the Office of Public Affairs at 504-861-5448 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Resources » History of the Church
Major Events in Church History
Church history timeline - What are the major events?
The timeline in Church history of Christianity is clearly documented throughout the centuries of its existence. Church history began with the birth of Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago and continues to be written. Each century of Church history can be researched thoroughly and personal testimonies studied to discover the struggles of a birthing faith.
The Church forms at the time of Pentecost in 33 C.E. (Christian Era after death of Christ). Rome burns and Nero blames the Christians in 64 C.E. persecuting them savagely, which is the first of many Roman persecutions. Nero uses Christians as human torches to illumine his gardens at night during banquets. By 70 C.E., the Jews revolt against Rome and Jerusalem falls while fifteen years later Christianity splits from Judaism.
The second and third centuries brought about more severe persecutions of the Church. The fourth century entered with Constantine envisioning the Christ as conqueror and fights many battles to win religious freedoms in 312. Constantine and Licinius decree tolerance for religions in 313 C.E. This allowed for writings to be published and documented concerning the Church history struggle.
By the first of the fifth century, the last of the Roman legions leave Britain. St. Jerome dies after translating the Bible into Latin from Hebrew in A.D 420, Patrick returned to Ireland spreading the Gospel to the paganism Celtic land in 432. The Anglo Saxons invade England from Germany. By the end of this century of Church history, Clovis of France is baptized with 3,000 warriors, setting France as a Christian nation.
In the sixth century, the Benedictine order was founded in 529 C.E. preserving much of the Church's historical documents up to that time. Dionysius Exigius employs the terminology "year of the Lord" Anno Domini in his calendar of the Christian era. Columba traveled from Ireland to Iona in A.D. 563, establishing a mission that converts much of England and Scotland. Mohammed is born in A.D. 570 and becomes the founder of Islam.
Christianity spreads throughout the regions amidst persecutions from reigning establishments, whether it was Protestant Kings or Catholic monarchies. After the discovery and battles over America, people fled the religious intolerances of Europe to the haven of a new and freer country. The sixteenth century ushered in the Reformation with Martin Luther, when he nailed 95 written statements about the abuses of paying for penitence of sins to the church. John Calvin took up the Reformation crusade that justification came by faith and not from how much was paid to an establishment. The King James Bible is translated into English by 1611, eighty-five years after the Tyndale New Testament was published in English in 1526.
At the end of the 1700's, the Wesley brothers, John and Charles led a reform moving away from England's Anglican Church holding large revivals in farm pastures. They sailed in ships to America bringing their reformed message with them. This led to the basic foundation for many of the predominant denominations in America today. Revival spread throughout several countries from the years 1850 to 1930s. America saw the rise of many evangelists fervently preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Y.M.C.A in the United States. The Welsh Revival in Wales lasted a few years with far reaching effects into England and North America.
Through documented Church history, we can see the struggles of its fledgling existence. We see the numerous attempts to stop the advancement of the Church at the price of its followers. But the glory of the Church sits upon Christ Jesus. God has always had a people who recognized Him and He still has a people who continue in their faith to serve Him.

Why PSCA Notes?
In the 1890's and into the 1920's, DD Palmer wrote and talked extensively about the 'tone' of the body. There are many aspects of the word 'tone' that we can ascribe to its definitions, like 'sound of a specific quality,' 'color quality,' 'the state of a living body,' and 'healthy elasticity.'
We have chosen the music theme for our website blog area and our newsletter – titled TONE.
100% of our collected donations go towards Chiropractic Vertebral Subluxation Research and Chiropractic Education Tuition Scholarships.

Are Symptoms Important?
Let us suppose you stopped at a restaurant and ordered a hamburger. The sandwich happens to be spoiled. On the way home, you begin to vomit and have diarrhea. You conclude that you are sick (unhealthy) and must somehow stop the vomiting and diarrhea. In this situation are you actually unhealthy? The answer is no.

SINGAPORE--Professionals here are an angry lot, having the second most pet peeves in the office where they are irked by colleagues who skirt around taking responsibility for their actions.
According to a survey released Thursday by executive social network LinkedIn, Singapore professionals indicated they were most infuriated over people who did not take accountability for their actions. Filthy common areas such as dirty microwaves and constant whiners were listed next, respectively, as their top pet peeves in the office.
The global survey polled 1,000 professionals in Singapore, who emerged to have the second most number of pet peeves, behind India, while the Italians had the least number.
Worldwide, the LinkedIn respondents expressed the same frustration over professionals who did not take responsibility for their actions--the No. 1 pet peeve selected by 78 percent of over 17,000 surveyed globally.
There were, however, differences between the countries and gender surveyed, LinkedIn noted. Some 57 percent of Singaporean female professionals, for instance, were bothered by "clothing that was too revealing for the workplace", but only 29 percent of their male counterparts felt likewise.
And Americans were more irritated, compared to the other nationalities, by colleagues who hijacked other people's food from the office refrigerator, while Brazilians were most annoyed by excessive office gossip.
The LinkedIn survey also revealed that, compared to their global counterparts, Indians were most bothered by mobile phone ringtones and Japanese expressed the highest distaste for office pranks.
Job seekers in Singapore should also take heed that 74 percent of hiring managers were annoyed when candidates showed up late for meetings.
"Some of the seemingly harmless workplace habits, such as people not taking ownership for actions can result in conflicts in the workplace," Chan Ngee Key, career coach and Strategist at YourOwn360, said in the press release. "Most of these can be easily resolved. For example, taking ownership is not just about doing your task well, but also about ensuring that your whole team works collaboratively."
Survey respondents were from countries that included Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and United Kingdom. LinkedIn currently has a network of over 120 million members across the globe.

Since 1998, Ethical Property has grown from two people with a vision to a family of five companies and one charity, operating in four countries and employing over 100 people. Built around strong management, values, transparency and a firm conviction that it is possible to make money whilst doing good, we have worked hard to ensure that our values remain as strong today as they were in 1998.
Our Values:
- Equity and fairness – through the provision of property we support organisations that are striving to create a more equal and just society
- Sustainability – we support physical and social structures that lead to a sustainable lifestyle with a positive environmental impact that uses only our fair share of the planet's resources
- Responsibility – every decision we make will take account of financial, environmental and social impacts
- Collaboration and partnership – we believe that the world's problems are better solved by people working together rather than alone
- Learning – we will implement a process of continual learning, with regular evaluations of our services and practices to ensure we constantly evolve the way we do business with the aim of ensuring best practice.
With the above in mind, we created The Ethical Property Company Quintessentials - five core principles of governance and management which apply to all Companies within the Ethical Property Family.
The Quintessentials:
- The Triple Bottom Line – investment in Ethical Property offers investors a financial, social and environmental return
- Ethical client criteria – property and services are provided to organisations that meet the Ethical criteria
- Ethical management – Ethical Property manages its business in a way that demonstrates its ethicality
- Ethical governance – Ethical Property maintains a high standard of governance, transparency and honesty in their business, and has governance procedures in place which safeguard its ethicality
- Transparent reporting – Ethical Property's social, environmental and financial performance is reported clearly, openly and honestly to stakeholders.
Who should we rent our properties to? How do we balance social, environmental and financial returns? What are the principles of good governance for an ethical business? How much time should we dedicate to social auditing and reporting? It is questions such as these that our Quintessentials are designed to answer.

|Sunrise in Nebraska
I'm currently in Denver staying with my Aunt and Uncle. Matt flies in tonight and we leave bright and early on Saturday to try to make it the majority of the way to the Bay Area. It will probably be a 15 hour driving day which I know Matt isn't excited about, but it will be worth it the next morning when we only have to drive a half day instead of another whole day. While here I've been catching up on sleep (I was gone by 9:30pm last night) as well as getting things set up for my apartment (like calling an Internet/TV provider).
|Beautiful print from my Uncle titled "Katy's LBD"
Last weekend I said a lot of goodbyes. I had dinner with my aunt and uncle (who are also my godparents) Friday night, had a girls night out Saturday night, and then on Sunday my mom and I had dinner with family friends. Our friend Kris taught me how to make duck! YES DUCK! She also taught me a great red wine reduction that I hope to share once I've done it a few times in my own kitchen. There have been a lot of goodbyes and overall I'm glad to have finally left. There were several weeks of anticipation and preparation. Everyone has been very supportive, but I'm very tired of being asked "Oh so you're moving out there to be with your boyfriend?" and "How is your mom taking it." If I was making the move just for my boyfriend, I wouldn't have taken a job 3 hours away. And my mom is obviously upset I'm moving away, but is so excited for me. And she's also excited I will be living near wine country, its a great place to visit people.

Aquarium presents expansion plan | News
CLEARWATER, Florida - Officials with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium presented their expansion plans to City Council Tuesday morning in a workshop session, a day before the council's scheduled meeting.
The aquarium is proposing a $14.5 million expansion to their current facility on Island Estates, which will then be used primarily as a marine rescue center.
The plan also includes a brand new $160 million facility in the downtown area, where City Hall now sits. It also includes removal of the Harborview Center and expansion of green space near Coachman Park. The site is public land, so it is all subject to voter approval.
CMA officials said they have outgrown their current facility, thanks to their dolphin star, Winter. Visitors increased from 200,000 in 2011 to 750,000 in 2012.
"We have a world-wide platform now 'cause of [the movie] Dolphin Tale. So the attendance is going to continue to come. If you think about it, we have 75% awareness in the United States for CMA," said Mike Hurst with the aquarium.
He added that the proposal is a win-win for everybody.
"It'll be huge for us and it's huge for the city. It's going to make a big impact on the city in the sense of it's going to re-vitalize downtown," said Hurst.
The three-level, 200,000+ square-foot facility would feature things including a Coral Reef Exhibit, a Touch Tank, and a Manatee Marina.
At the workshop, council members were concerned about the city's risk in the project and also government funds.
Aquarium officials said they will not be asking for any general fund dollars.
The City Council meeting is set for Wednesday night. CMA officials plan to pay for a referendum to be on the ballot in November.

Many in the media are touting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the U.S. representative to New York's 14th Congressional District, as a breakout star of the Democratic party. With her recent win in the 2018 midterm election, her popularity and notoriety have soared. The main stream media seems to swoon over her every word and place her up on a pedestal as if she will be the next savior of the United States. However, as Edmund Burke once wrote, "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it." T...More
Trump Derangement Syndrome
Trump Derangement Syndrome has been described many ways by the media. The most accurate way I can define it is: a syndrome by which the left-wing media (which is 90%) and progressives want to negate the fair and undisputed 2016 US Presidential Election results by acting both irrationally and unreasonably to anything President Trump says or does. In addition, it also compels one to believe as gospel anything said or reported that is negative about the president, regardless as to its t...More

Why Californians are so Liberal
On my blog today, I had an excellent response to the "Liberalism is a Disease" post by a man named Joe. Though the state of California is beautiful and for the most part, the people are truly friendly, this sad member of the union had fallen away from its roots and embraced a left-wing-progressive/socialist agenda that is slowly taking down both itself and the country. As US citizens exit the state en masse and illegal, federal law-breaking aliens rush into it, California economically, sociall...More

Reasons Why The Southern Poverty Law Center Has Become a Hate Group
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) defines itself on its web page as a nonprofit legal advocacy organization that is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society.

The premise of fighting hate and advocating for both equality and respect among one another i...More
Why President Trump Needs Steve Bannon
Once dubbed the "shadow president" by the media, chief executive strategist Steve Bannon now apparently is fighting for his life in a progressively centrist Trump administration. After supporting an Obama Care II Health Care Bill, taking unilateral actions against Syria, and failing to pursue the campaign promises which brought him into office, President Trump needs his chief strategist now more than ever. However, with recent comments that the president has made against Bannon such as "I'm my...More
Hilliary's Health Revealed
There's an old joke that sums up the reports coming out of the Clinton camp about her health: Question: How do you know a lawyer is lying? Answer: You see his lips moving. I find this joke apropos when dealing with all the garbage being spewed out from the Clinton campaign about her health. As a physician, I find it extremely difficult to believe what they are feeding the left media. Let me brake down a few points: If she had pneumonia and fainted, she should be in the hospital under ...More
Why Trump is a Better Presidential Candidate than Hillary
As the election draws nearer by the day, it is of the utmost importance to truly understand the candidates and know their campaign platforms. Because of the media bias, it is at times difficult to decipher what is the truth. I therefore went to each of their web pages to compare and contrast the differences and similarities between them: Taxes: Trump: 1. Simplify taxes for everyone and streamline deductions. Biggest tax reform since Reagan. 2. Lower taxes for everyone, making raising a fam...More

Agya Koo's Troubles
Agya Koo troubles the never ending controversy surrounding popular actor, Agya Koo does not seem to be waning any time soon; with the latest twist being the arrest of his wife, Victoria Owusua Adomako for allegedly stealing his car and giving it to her boyfriend.
Adom News sources say Victoria was picked up by police at Senya Bereku in the Central region together with her alleged lover, whose name was only given as Kwadwo who Agya Koo reportedly claims masterminded the stealing of his car.
When Adom News contacted Agya Koo real name Alex Kofi Adu, he denied knowledge about the story saying he had not caused the arrest of anybody and asked the reporter to conduct his own investigations to get to the real truth.
However when Asempa FM's Yaa Ayisa, visited the Tesano Police Station where the case is being handled, the investigator, Corporal Antwi, confirmed that Agya Koo was indeed behind the arrest of his wife and her alleged boyfriend.
Yaa Ayisa reported that Victoria Owusua Adomako denied stealing her husband's car or havingan extra marital affair and explained that she used the car to transport her belongings from her matrimonial home to a new apartment she rented at Kasoa some three months ago.
Victoria reportedly stated that she left her matrimonial home to avoid the continuous intimidation and humiliation meted out to her by her husband.
Narrating some of her ordeals, Victoria disclosed that Agya Koo always walked her out and locked the door of the room they shared, whenever he was going out or even going to the washroom as if she was an intruder.
She was also dissatisfied that Agya Koo had sidelined and relegated her to the background now that he is rich and famous after she had hustled with him for years.
She said she heard that Kwadwo who he described as a friend had been picked by policemen at his house in Berekum because of her so she drove there to find out if it was true only for her to be arrested as well.
This is about the second time that controversy surrounding Agya Koo's love life have become public.
A woman, Mary Aboagye who claimed to also be his wife accused him of not taking care of their five-year old son and subsequently filed a case against him at the Kumasi branch of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit of the Ghana Police Service.
Also, Agya Koo has been appearing before a Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Circuit Court to register his protest to the allegation that he asked for sexual favours from his shop attendant, Cecilia Tandoh, 24 who he has accused of stealing GH¢60,000 from his Tetemofra Film and Music Production shop, at Bantama in Kumasi.

Normally 4,500 BC is the start of the Chalcolithic period in the ANE but perhaps of greater significance is the apparent existence of long-distance commerce at such a remote period.A small copper awl found in a woman's ancient grave in Israel is rewriting history. It's the oldest metal object ever found in the Middle East, and was probably owned by the apparently important 40-year-old woman buried with it in an extravagant Tel Tsaf grave, LiveScience reports. The awl's date has pushed back metal use in the region centuries earlier than thought, to about 5100 BC.

Diversity Leadership Project Student Blog
The overarching goal of the Diversity Leadership Project is to help high school students across the country become stronger leaders among their peers – now and in college.
The program empowers high school students to create a more accepting, diverse community, and prepares them to face social justice issues head-on in an effective, collaborative manner.
The project gives students the opportunity to work in small peer groups to research, gain understanding, and develop real-world solutions to issues they identify in their community.
This process increases the participants' awareness of other cultures, as well as gives them a chance to contemplate and explore their own culture. This type of experiential learning encourages teens to befriend peers whose beliefs differ from their own worldview.
Because of this, they develop a greater empathy for social justice issues and an understanding of how bias affects our communities every day.

According to at least one of your older relatives, there are hard and fast rules for matching: no brown belt with black shoes, no combining prints, and no mixing metals. But sometimes, breaking a rule can pay off, and this is certainly true of incorporating mixed metals in your home decor. Whether you lean toward eclectic, vintage, or contemporary, there's a classy way to mix metallic finishes. Here are a few ideas to help you get the look.
Find a Central Piece with Multiple Metals
If mixing and matching feels out of your home decor comfort zone, start with a large focal piece that contains two metallic tones. From there, it will be easy to select smaller pieces of either one tone or the other.
Look to the Details
Maybe one statement piece is too bold for you. No worries! You can look to the little things to bring this eclectic look to life. This room incorporates iron hardware with silver-tone accessories while managing to accomplish a rustic feel.
It's All about How Your Frame it
Another easy way to mix and match is to start with frames. While an elaborate chandelier is a little more difficult to test in a room, frames are a simple way to get the feel for what you want. You can rearrange them to get the perfect look. In this room, the matching silvertone pieces anchor the look, allowing for experimentation elsewhere.
Don't Limit Yourself
There are almost too many metallic finishes to name in this bathroom, but it works. The yellow-gold and silver are incorporated together in the same pieces, which is an easy way to make sure one accent is not overbearing. The bronzy chandelier ties into the mirror frames on the gallery wall, while the silver motif is anchored by the sink and tub hardware.
Go Vintage
When you stop by estate sales or inherit items from a loved one, you end up with varied pieces that inexplicably just work—and that is the power of mixed metals. The elaborate iron detailing on the mirror makes a statement, but it doesn't clash with the scattered hints of silver and gold here and there.
Be Fearless with Other Accents
The mixed metal features don't have to be the only audacious aspect of the room. If you really want to establish a colorful and diverse style that breaks all the rules, go wild with throw pillows, vases, and rugs. Even if it's not obvious at a glance, make sure to find at least one color or texture motif to provide the foundation. In this room, the rust-orange, red, and blue are echoed, giving consistency to an otherwise potentially chaotic space. The goldentone chandelier and silvertone lamps become a subtle detail comparatively.
Get Comfortable with Copper
Of all the metallic tones, copper feels the most "brassy" (pardon the pun). If not pulled off well, it tends to look a little chintzy. But in spite of its questionable reputation, copper is pushing its way into the home decor spotlight. At the moment you can find copper tea kettles, decorative pots and pans, light fixtures, picture frames, hardware…all of which bring a unique charm that silver, gold, chrome, iron, and brass just can't deliver.
Go Pale for a Clean Look
On the other hand, your mixed metals don't have to make a statement at all. This pale golden chandelier is subtle and refined, a perfect complement to the soft silver hardware. The chandelier stands out in the room without completely casting the minimalistic decor in shadow.
Don't be afraid to get experimental, but remember to carry motifs throughout the space to avoid a look of chaos. Now start brainstorming ways to bring this beautiful trend into your home!

Gomela/To Return: Movement of Our Mother Tongue at South Dallas Cultural Center
3400 S. Fitzhugh Ave.
7 p.m. Friday
Gomela/To Return: Movement of Our Mother Tongue is a multi-disciplinary performance piece featuring award-winning poet Sunni Patterson. Vibrant and percussive movements and stories breathe life into African dance and drumming, as well as spoken word, hip-hop and jazz. Connections are made between Africa, Haiti and New Orleans. At its core, this performance illuminates how place matters — to New Orleanians displaced after Katrina, for example. From New Orleans herself, Sunni Patterson combines the heritage and tradition of her native town with a modern worldview to create timeless music and poetry. This event takes place at 7 p.m. Friday.
Otis Huband: Recent Paintings at Valley House Gallery
6616 Spring Valley Road
5:30 p.m. Saturday
Otis Huband does not need to show his work. Operating out of Houston since 1965, he painted every single day while devoted art collectors made regular visits to his studio. By the time he decided to show his work again a few years ago in his late 70s, few were familiar with it. Huband has color schemes every bit as gorgeous as his hero, abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning. But Huband's imagery is figurative, although he paints from his imagination with no expectations. It still leaves plenty to the imagination. Huband paints other worlds. A figure could be an enormous creature made mainly of arms and legs or perhaps a bunch of people on the floor in a bedroom. This exhibit features mainly oil paintings from the last few years, but also mixed-media collages comparable to the paper cut-outs Henri Matisse made in his final years. An artist talk and opening reception takes place at 5:30 p.m. Saturday. More info at valleyhouse.com.
JM Rizzi: The Sanest Days Are Mad at Erin Cluley Gallery
414 Fabrication St.
6 p.m. Saturday
JM Rizzi began doing graffiti as a teen living in Brooklyn, but eventually he gave up on beefing with rival crews and started studying art formally. He now has murals commissioned, like his 150-foot work inside Josey Records. Rizzi also started magnifying particularly juicy tags and using them to produce works for gallery shows. Abstract expressionists and members of the pop art movement both appreciated graffiti when Rizzi was a kid, and he offers a contemporary take on both ideas. This exhibition of large paintings and works on paper shows its roots of urban expressionism. Rizzi's paintings have a multitude of layers, creating a seemingly aged surface that gives the appearance of painted city walls. JM Rizzi: The Sanest Days are Made opens at 6 p.m. Saturday.

The Thirteen Most Beautiful at Cydonia
167 Payne St.
6 p.m. Saturday
Through 13 individual works of art, five artists unmask diverse attitudes about pleasure for the eyes. The Thirteen Most Beautiful wanders down alternative paths where beauty is exploited as a tool. Beauty is not the message here, but the medium in a show dominated by photography and sculpture.
A large-scale photo installation of flowers by Jayce Salloum investigates our notions of what is natural and beautiful by creating an imitation of life. Poetic, painted images of photographic snapshots by Monica Tap generate soft observation. Sun You's sculptures composed of meaningless materials found in junk shops and hardware stores charm by also riffing on beauty tropes. Frances Bagley's bronze "Cleopatra's Collar" commands a presence without ever directly representing female anatomy. This exhibition opens at 6 p.m. Saturday. More info at cydoniagallery.com.
NAKED, the minimalist at Ash Studios
3203 Ash Lane
8 p.m. Saturday
This is a new music/art series highlighting performance art, new media and creative music programming. This first installment features the neo-soul of Keite Young, vintage pop songwriter Mattie Michelle, experimental art pop from Lily Taylor, and rapper Evan Bornes, who is known for socially conscious lyrics that are often improvised. There will also be visual art from Sean Miller and Eric Trich. NAKED, the minimalist takes place at 8 p.m. Saturday. More info at ashstudios.org.

Is this what you have in mind,' I asked the Dalai Lama, 'when you say in teachings that the buddhas and bodhisattvas of the world are the most selfish beings of all, that by cultivating altruism they actually achieve ultimate happiness for themselves?' Yes. That's wise selfish,' he replied. 'Helping others not means we do this at our own expense. Not like this. Buddhas and bodhisattvas, these people very wise. All their lives they only want one thing: to achieve ultimate happiness. How to do this? By cultivating compassion, by cultivating altruism.

Coly hrap! Circuit City, sinking ship though it may be, is running a pretty aggressive sale on Wii games this week. Buy any $49.99 Wii game and you can get a second game for half off. I still need to pick up Mario Kart and I lost one of my remotes somehow, so maybe I'll add Wii Play for the hell of it. Hmmm… maybe Star Wars: The Force Unleashed instead or that new SimCity game.

Using a vibrant combination of theory and practice, our foundation course will introduce you to
- observation techniques
- natural systems and patterns
- ethics and principles of permaculture
- permaculture design tools
The course is informative and interactive. You will leave having designed a permaculture space, putting into practice everything you have learned. Additionally, you will have the grounding to be able to progress onto the full permaculture design course.
Our setting is a listed building inside beautiful Morden Hall Park, a superb place to draw inspiration from nature within the city.
This course is facilitated by Liz and Sam.
Liz is a mother, sustainability professional, eco-retrofit project manager, gardener, and chartered civil engineer with a Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design and has been teaching introductory Permaculture courses for 6 years. She has a thriving urban permaculture garden with a mini orchard, pond, hugel beds and much more. She also has a passion for alternative forms of education for children.
Sam's passion for permaculture design started in Kenya after he completed a Permaculture Design Certificate. Permaculture presented a new set of design tools that inspired and shifted his perspective on the amazing possibilities of what can be achieved for people and nature, through good design. This led to Sam managing Sutton Community Farm on the edges of London in 2012-16, which he helped turn into a successful community-owned business. Today, Sam works at Forum for the Future focusing on ways we can shift our food and farming systems to be radically more sustainable.

Choosing Domestic Fire Alarms
Category : Alarms , Fire Safety Blog , Help & Guides
We've outlined each type of domestic fire alarm to help guide you on the best type you can buy to protect your home.
Smoke detectors
Some detectors, as the name implies, pick up smoke particles in the air. There are two types of sensors (or both) that they could have:
1. Ionisation sensors
Ionisation smoke detectors have sensors that are sensitive to small smoke particles. These are produced by fast, flaming fires.
Fast, flaming fires spread quickly – think of chip fan fires. An ionisation detector will give you early warning of these.
Ionisation detectors are, however, are very sensitive to steam and airflow, so make sure you never position them in kitchens, washrooms or bathrooms.
2. Photoelectric sensors
Photoelectric detectors respond to large smoke particles, which are emitted by slow, smouldering fires.
These smoke detectors will quickly alert you if there's a slow burning fires (such as fabric fires).
They're more expensive to buy, and less sensitive to fast burning fires than ionisation smoke alarms are.
Combined detectors will use both sensors. They sometimes even have heat detector sensors in them.
Heat detectors
You only really need heat detectors when smoke detector is unsuitable.
Smoke travels faster than heat rises, so a smoke detector will alert you of a fire sooner than a heat detector will. However, a smoke detector isn't always suitable. Having one in dusty, dirty, or smoky rooms could lead to false alarms.
Think of your shed, attic, garage…in these rooms you'll need a heat detector.
Carbon monoxide detectors
Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. You have no way of knowing it's there unless you have a carbon monoxide detector installed. This is why carbon monoxide is known as the silent killer.
Carbon monoxide can be emitted from heating devices if they're poorly maintained or badly fitted. For this reason, you should ideally have a smoke detector fitted in any room that contains a fuel-burning appliance.
Positioning smoke alarms
You should have at least one smoke alarm:
- On every level of your home
- In every sleeping area
- Outside sleeping areas
In high risk areas, such as workshop. Don't place them in areas where they could be falsely activated. You should never, for instance, but them in bathrooms or in kitchens.
Linking alarms
Part of the hype that surrounded the Google Nest detectors was that alarms and the thermostat could be linked together.
Linking alarms means that if one alarm is activated, they will all sound. So if there's a fire in the kitchen, you'll know about it when you're in the bedroom.
This is incredibly important, given than detectors don't always wake us up (children are even more likely to sleep through them). What chance have you got when the detector isn't even in the same room that you are in.
Many other alarms can also be linked via an interlink base. Many domestic smoke detectors are supplied with them – check when you buy. Alternatively, you can buy the base separately.

Antique Compasses
Antique compasses are generally regarded to be compasses that were built before 1950.
Brief history and description
A compass is a navigational instrument that contains a magnetized pointer that shows the direction of magnetic north and bearings from it. On the face of the compass are the four cardinal directions; north, east, west and south.
There are two commonly used, though completely dissimilar, styles of compass. A gyro compass is a non-magnetic compass and is centred on a constantly spinning disc and the rotation of the earth in order to locate a true geographical direction.
The more common magnetic compass includes a magnet that interacts with our planet's magnetic field in order to align its pointer to the magnetic poles.
It is widely believed that the compass originated between the second century BC and the first century AD during the Hans Dynasty in China. The compass did not arrive in Europe until the twelfth century but was immediately used for navigation. The dry compass was invented at the beginning of the thirteenth century.
Guide to collectors
Science and technology antiquities, such as antique barometers and telescopes are highly valuable and antique compasses form an integral part of this niche collectibles market. Compasses continue to be a constant source of interest and fascination and, furthermore, this market encompasses both novelty devices to serious navigational and scientific instruments.
In recent years, however, there has been a gradual decline in the average prices of antique compasses, which means that collectors are now more than likely to find good quality antique compasses at reasonable prices.
Pocket compasses produced for military purposes during World War II are very popular compasses for collectors. There were two main models of these dry card compasses, the Mark V and the Mark VI, and each compass can be identified with a serial number located on the lid which increases their uniqueness and collectability. According to Compasscollector.com, these tend to sell between £50 and £200 depending on condition.
There is a considerable community of antique compass collectors on the internet and numerous sites that offer useful information and sources for potential buyers and existing owners. Compasscollector.com is perhaps the most informative but Fleaglass.com is also useful for collectors and enthusiasts.
Bargains can be had on online bidding sites, such as eBay but prices and the item's condition can vary significantly. The more rare and unique antique compasses typically sell at reputable auction houses, including Dreweatt's and Christie's. Committed collectors should browse catalogues that feature famous explorers as these represent the chance to own an antique compass with a colourful and unique history.
Notable Sales
In April 2000 at Christie's London branch, a late nineteenth-early twentieth century lacquered brass floating card prismatic compass, that had once belonged to the English polar explorer Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, realised a price of £14,100.
A compass used by the famous Welsh explorer, Sir Henry Morton Stanley, was sold for £6,573 when it was sold through Christie's, London, in September 2002. The brass-cased sighting compass was used during Stanley's famous Trans-African Expedition in 1871 in which he had been assigned to locate David Livingstone in Ujiji, modern day Tanzania.
