Of course, here in Australia interstate flight prices are ridiculous, so it makes much more sense for said Australian Sewing Summit to be held in the National Holiday Destination of choice - Bali! Cheaper to travel & stay (and eat, and shop..) in Bali than to travel to the other side of the country.
|Image taken from Australian Sewing Summit's blog
Bali has benefits other than cheap airfares and accommodation though... for example, Batik fabrics are only $2.50/m!! Laura has recently returned from a "research" trip and has some fantastic ideas about Batik workshops and other things that we can do while we're there, especially as going to Bali really rules out taking along our sewing machines. It will be more of a brain storming, networking, hands on workshops (maybe hand piecing?) kind of summit, perhaps with a few massages and cocktails thrown in for good measure!
So how do you find out more about this weekend of sun, surf, sand, shopping, sewing and socialising? Check out the Australian Sewing Summit blog and register your interest. You can also find Laura, Jane and I tweeting about Australian Summit with the #ASS hashtag - but search that at your own risk! (I'd recommend following any or all of us on twitter instead, just to be on the safe side!)

Building Community
This letter was written by TK Hofmann. He read it at Citizens Project's Creating Community Breakfast on June 7, 2012
You have changed a lot since I was born here in 1993. Some of the changes have been for the better, others not so much. But, change nonetheless. Through this change, you have been growing tremendously. But this change and growth does not feel immediately apparent to me as a transgender high school student. Often, I feel that I've grown and worked to better you, you have not done the same for me, you have just expanded your reaches out into undeveloped prairie and stretched your arms to the outskirts of Denver. Despite this abandonment that I feel you have often left me with, I have one future dream for you: That as you build out, you also build up. You build yourself up for equality, and diversity. You build up your compassion and tolerance, so you can be the great city that you were meant to be. But more than this, I want you to let the people that are trying so hard to construct this future Colorado Springs, do so. Citizens Project has been one of these builders. For the past twenty years, Citizens Project has been building like no other. Through their work on creating religious freedom, activating civil engagement, and advocating for equality and diversity, Citizens Project has not only built a strong foundation for us to stand on, but they have provided us with tools to continue building for the next twenty years. With this foundation, and these tools, we can activate and educate and we can build a new city. But, only if you let your allies do their work. Let your great minds, and passionate hearts build a city that we can be proud of, a city that we can truly call home. Let groups like Citizens Project create a city for future generations to feel safe in. Make yourself a city where people come to for compassion and acceptance, not a city where people like me want to leave as soon as they can. I'm not asking you to be a liberal super-city, I'm asking you to be a city of diversity and safety, for everyone. Be the city we are trying to build.
Be a city that, in twenty years, I will be proud to call my home town.
Tk Hofmann

I wish I could know you – I wish I had known you when I lived in the Springs. You are totally right about Citizens Project and Colorado Springs.
I hope that you continue to help spread the word.
My best to you.

Hello from Illinois:
I'm a husband of 29 years, father of 4, grandfather of 3 and recently retired COL from the U.S. Army & Army National Guard, Infantry, 1984-2015. My family and I live on and enjoy a small 120 acre timber and tillable acreage which we enjoy improving and hunting. We have been Lifelong Remington and Ruger owners and I have some small collections and more than one should have for hunting. I had a few Liberty revolvers many years back and enjoyed them for there patriotic roll mark on the barrel. I was hit by mortar fire in Afghanistan in a firefight in 2011 and spent three years rehabilitating in surgeries and physical therapy in army, veterans administration hospitals. To keep from going insane I set out to collect every 1976 Liberty single action NIB with shipping sleeve (still need two). Along the way I started picking up the double actions as well and have gathered up a respectable collection. Ruger addiction is expensive, the M77 Liberty models began piling up as well. Crazy I hear you but I enjoyed the hunt and the patriotic stamp of the models. I know they aren't a highly collectible item but a few of them are low number productions. I suppose the beauty of a collection is in the eye of the beholder and the significance to him/her. I have other Rugers as well (RCA member bulletin release #16 SS-84-L & SS-32-L & RCA member bulletin release #21 SDA-382-L & SDA-384-L) military double actions with lanyard swivels which are beautiful pieces. However I suppose if I'm known for anything Ruger it will be the Liberty collection. My family enjoys them as well which makes it all the better, we shoot the rifles often and the DA's but the SA's are staying pristine in the boxes.
I look forward to getting to know more about those of you who wish to share your Ruger stories and collection experiences.
BTW- If you have one of the following to sell or know of someone who has one let me know.
1976 Liberty Boxed sets in the following.
Catalog Number KNR5, .22LR/.22WMR Stainless 5 1/2"
Catalog Number NR9, .22LR/.22WMR Blued 9 1/2"
1976 M77 in the calibers of .308 & .338

Kayakers helped recover a dog which had fallen 200 feet over a cliff yesterday.
Peel Lifeboat was called out at 1pm to aid the dog which had fallen off the coastal path at Knockaloe Beg Farm - the Coastguard was also called out to assist.
Luckily a group of passing kayakers were able to recover the animal into their kayaks and took it to Glen Maye beach to reunite it with its owner.
Coxswain Paul Cain said: "The owner of the dog did the right thing in calling the Coastguard and asking for assistance."

THE Fratton faithful are to be presented with a footballing identity to savour.
That is the verdict of first-team coach Ian Foster, who is convinced Paul Cook's philosophy will delight supporters.
You will be able to identify Paul's teams and if that's the kind of football you like, which I am sure most fans do, you will appreciate itIan Foster
Pompey's boss established a reputation for playing attractive football at previous clubs Sligo Rovers, Accrington and Chesterfield.
Now he has brought his winning brand to Fratton Park, with the remit of earning promotion from League Two.
Foster and assistant manager Leam Richardson have also joined Cook on the south coast.
And the former Galway United and Dundalk manager is convinced fans are in for a treat.
Foster said: 'With Paul you can expect to have honesty, integrity, transparency and you will be able to see his philosophy.
'If you are a Portsmouth fan and it is 2pm on a Saturday and you are thinking of going to Fratton Park and wondering what you might get, well I don't think you'll have to wonder any more.
'You will know exactly what you are going to get.
'You will be able to identify Paul's teams and if that's the kind of football you like, which I am sure most fans do, you will appreciate it.
'It was evident when we were both managers in Ireland. Paul likes to play fast, free-flowing, attacking football.
'Above all, what you want to be associated with is winning football – and he is.
'It's not just about having this passing philosophy and creative philosophy, it is also winning.
'He has developed a style of football, but he is also successful with it.
'You cannot win every game of football.
'But we are certainly trying to win every game in the right manner, trying to entertain the supporters.
'It has been a trying time for everyone at the football club and I appreciate that, but the club has recruited Paul, Leam and I to come in and change that culture.
'It is not going to happen overnight.
'But one thing we won't lack is the hard work to turn it around and bring the success everyone is after.'
Cook is back from holiday as Pompey continue efforts to strengthen.
And Foster has stressed the importance of the squad enjoying their football under the new regime.
He added: 'The three of us all have our values as men and I think that comes through when we coach – we try to help the players enjoy it.
'We want them to have a smile and enjoy working hard – and it will be hard, there is no getting away from that.
'How Paul sets his teams up and how we play in and out of possession, it's hard work and the players will be made aware of that from day one.'

Localization, superfluidity and the role of quantum statistics in strongly interacting Bose glasses
Three very cold experiences from Innsbruck: cold atoms to study universal few-body physics, interspecies scattering properties and Erbium condensates.
Bose glasses may arise both in superconductors with preformed pairs and in strongly interacting, disordered cold atom systems. They combine two distinct sources of non-ergodic behavior: (i) High barriers due to the frustration of interactions as in classical glasses, as well as (ii) Anderson localization and its many body generalization, which is a quantum effect. The interplay of these two different causes of glassiness is very interesting and multifaceted.
In this talk, I will discuss glassy supersolids, which result from the competition of glassy ordering and superfluidity of disordered bosons. An exactly solvable model is introduced to illustrate the salient effects, which electronic glassiness may have on the superfluid-insulator transition and many-particle localization in the Bose glass. Finally, I discuss the role of quantum statistics in the insulating phase and its important effect on magnetoresistance.[video=720 500]20120507_mueller[/video]

There hasn't been much news about congressional candidate Greg Gianforte since he secured the Republican nomination.
I noticed he was in a St. Patrick's Day parade — in Billings! Beer drinking Democrats in Butte, America, may not have presented as warm a welcome. Other than that, besides hundreds of thousands of dollars in out-of-state purchased TV ads, he's been off the radar.
In earlier Facebook posts Gianforte pledged his allegiance to Donald Trump. He looked at Montana's 2016 election results and figured since Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 20 points in Montana, that was a safe bet.
His website also referenced Trump's policies as akin to his own. Now that Trump's poll numbers are in the dumpster (Gallup has his approval rating at 39%) Gianforte's backing off. His new mantra is "fighting back against Washington, D.C.'s War On The West."
It looks to me the biggest "War on the West" is contained in Trump's recently released budget proposal. It's time for the press to start asking where Gianforte stands on many of the proposed cuts. Let's start with just seven questions that need to be asked:
- Do you support the Republican Health Care Plan, also known as Trumpcare?
- Followup question #1. You're okay with 24 million Americans losing health insurance over the next decade? The numbers aren't in for Montana but tens of thousands losing their insurance is a safe estimate. You good with that, Greg?
- Followup question #2. You're supporting a 750% increase in premiums for 64-year-olds making $26,500-a-year? In other words, they'll pay $14,600 a year, or more than half their income. Is that acceptable to you?
- Followup question #3. Montana's rural hospitals are already hurting. If Medicaid expansion folds, Health Care Marketplace subsidies are abandoned, and only the rich, and the young (many who won't buy insurance) are the only ones left in the insurance pool, how many rural hospitals will close?
- Trump wants to end the Essential Air Service program. How many of Montana's smaller airports will lose commercial service? Sidney, Glasgow, Wolf Point, Havre, Glendive?
- How would a 31% proposed cut to the Environmental Protection Agency affect the 18-plus Superfund sites in Montana?
- The Forest Service and National Park Service are facing massive cuts. What does that mean for Glacier and Yellowstone Parks, and Montana's 19 million acres of national forests?
I'm sure the Montana media can come up with dozens of other questions, like Gianforte's disdain for the LGBTQ community, women's rights, public education and people with disabilities, for example.
But, Montana press, feel free to start with any of the seven questions above.

Flying Pig unveils 20th Anniversary Plans for 2018 Race Weekend, May 4-6
The Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon powered by P&G is marking its 20th running in 2018 with a series of events and celebrations honoring the participants, volunteers and community partners who have made this running festival one of the largest in the country. At a kickoff party Wednesday, July 20 at The LB @Rookwood, Executive Director Iris Simpson Bush announced the new initiatives that will be part of the year-long celebration.
"This past May we welcomed nearly 40,000 participants from all 50 states and nearly two dozen countries who took part in the Flying Pig," she said. "In 2018 we expect a record registration and we anticipate that a number of events will sell out as runners want to join us in our 20th year."
As part of the celebration, runners and walkers who finish the Flying Pig full marathon will receive a commemorative finisher's jacket, the first time in Flying Pig history that a jacket has been offered to those who finish the event. Nearly 500 participants signed up at the 2017 race to participate in the fullmarathon.
Leading up to the 20th anniversary weekend, May 4-6, 2018, the Flying Pig has commissioned a new ArtWorks mural, "Dream Big & Fly High," which will be installed this fall on the façade of the Hyatt Hotel downtown. It will be dedicated during Flying Pig week next year.
Also to mark the anniversary, the Flying Pig will curate a 20-day festival called "20 Days on the Run" leading up to Marathon weekend, featuring daily celebrations in the communities along the Marathon and Half Marathon routes.
A 100-page commemorative coffee table book will be published featuring the history of the Flying Pig Marathon and photos from the talented photography team led by Mark Bowen, thanks to a grant from the Haile Foundation. An accompanying photo exhibit is also being planned for the spring.
The Flying Pig also will hold an awards show, "The Piggies," to be held Thursday, May 3 at the Aronoff Center to honor participants, volunteers, sponsors and the "Streakers" (some 90 runners who have done all 19 Flying Pig marathons).
On Friday night of Flying Pig weekend, after the Little Kings Mile race, the Pig will hold a free street party and concert at The Banks.
Registration is now open for all events for Flying Pig weekend. More information and a link to the registration page is at www.flyingpigmarathon.com.

Tawheed is the essence of Islam. Tawheed is an Arabic term which means 'oneness' and 'unity.' In Islamic terminology it means the oneness of God. It is a fundamental doctrine of Islam referring to the oneness of God in all it meanings. Thus the declaration that 'there is no God but Allah' is called Tawheed. God has no partner (sharik), He exists by Himself. Nothing can rival Him as a source of power or love. There is no one worthy of worship other than God. He is not an abstract concept. He is always near us; He cares for us and we owe our existence to Him alone.
Islam established a close and direct relationship between the Creator and His creation. In Islam no mediating power of any kind exists between the Creator and His creation. God's absolute unity is reflected in the unity of His creation in which each individual part is in harmonious order with the remainder. There is nothing remotely like Him. The Quran thus enjoins us:
"Say: He is God, the one. God the Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like Him." (chapter 112).
Tawheed means that God alone is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe including human beings. He is the only possessor of all powers. He is Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent. That is, He knows everything, He sees everything and is present everywhere, although invisible to the naked eye.
Monotheism is to believe in the fact that all power lies in the hand of one God alone; that He alone deserves to be worshipped. No act in the nature of worship is lawful unless directed towards God. It is God alone who fulfills our needs. It is God alone who is behind the functioning of the entire universe.
Here are further verses from the Qur'an which state very clearly the concept of God:
"Truly your God is but one; Lord of the heavens and of the earth." (37:4)
"This is God your Lord; there is no god but He, the Creator of all things; therefore, worship Him alone." (6:102)
"Your God is one God; there is no God but He, the Compassionate, the Merciful (2:158)
"God: there is no God but He the Living, the Eternal One. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. His is what the heavens and the earth contain. Who can intercede with Him, unless by His leave? He is cognizant of men's affairs now and in the future. Men can grasp only that part of His knowledge which He will. His throne is as vast as the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of both does not weary Him. He is the Exalted, the Immense One." (2:255)
Tawheed has two aspects to it: tawheed fi az-Zat and tawheed fi as-Sifat, that is, oneness of being and oneness of attributes. This means that God is alone in His Being as well as in His attributes.
The attributes of God are called Al Asmaul Husna, or the excellent names. The Quran says: "But God's are excellent names, call on Him thereby." (7:179) Abu Hurayrah, a companion of the Prophet, has narrated a saying of the Prophet to this effect: "Verily, there are ninety nine names of God.'
Islam enjoins the believers to worship one God alone. No other being or object is worthy of being worshipped. No other being should be associated with God. Idolatry or shirk is to worship or hold in reverence anything other than God. It is strictly forbidden in Islam, and is regarded as the worst of all sins.
The Far Reaching effect of Tawheed
By believing in one true God man is saved from worshipping many false gods. Tawheed enables man to establish a direct link between God and man.
Belief in tawheed makes man humble and modest instead of being proud and arrogant. It is because belief in one Great God implies that man is His humble servant and that modesty alone befits him. Believers know that they must submit to God, on whom they depend utterly. Submission to one God results in individual freedom and dignity, for, all human beings become equal and all deserve our respect. There is only one God and all of us are servants of the same God. Belief in the oneness of God helps individual to live in unity with others. Belief in one Creator gives a sense of oneness with all creation.
Belief in one God gives the believers confidence, for, they trust in God and believe that nothing can happen unless God wills it. Life and death are entirely in His hands. They remain content because they believe that power, wealth and success come from God alone. He gives them to whom He wants and takes them away from whom he wants. Tawheed thus brings about a unique blend of submission to God and human dignity and freedom.

A 1XBet Sportsbook player submitted a general complaint.
\r\n\r\n
The player has taken issue with the fact that he is unable to self-exclude from the betting website.
\r\n\r\n
Not all online sports betting sites offer players the ability to self-exclude from their sportsbook or casino products for a predetermined length of time.
\r\n\r\n
However, there is a simple step players can take to remedy this problem.
\r\n\r\n
Change your password
\r\nBy changing your password, players would be locked out of the betting account. Only an ensuing discussion with customer service would allow the player's to once again gain access to the account.
\r\n\r\n
Sportsbook Review recognizes that certain bettors would like some time off or to stop betting indefinitely. Players who feel like they need help walking away or taking a breather for a while should write to email@example.com; SBR can help players find local support groups in their area or assist with contacting betting sites without exclusion policies asking for the account to be closed.

Shannon Guymon appeared on ABC4's "The Daily Dish" on Feb. 15 to promote her newest book, "Do Over," which was released on Feb. 12.
Now, a week later, she's sharing the third, and final, sneak peek at her book. After reading this excerpt, you're probably going to want to buy the book, which you can doin book stores or on Amazon.com or BarnesAndNoble.com.
Trey glanced at his watch and smiled knowing he'd be seeing Iris inless than hour. He had stopped to talk to one the framers when he sawhis brother Sam drive up in a big black Ram truck. Trey grinned as hisbrother hopped out and headed his way. When Sam reached him, hepulled Trey in for the usual headlock. Trey did a quick reversal and hadhis arm around Sam's neck, ready to take him down, when he heard animpatient sigh.
The two men immediately stood up. Trey groaned inwardly andgave his brother a hard look. Sam shrugged and shook his head, refusingall responsibility.
"Acting like eighth-graders. You're business owners. Grown men, forPete's sake," Sophie said shaking her head with a pinched look aroundher mouth.
Trey raised his eyebrows at her tone of voice and noticed that Samhad already abandoned him to talk to Donny. He sighed, shoving hishands in his pockets and preparing himself for whatever was coming.
"Macie Jo said you totally ignored her and left a minute after she gothere. She said some giant dragged her around the job site, took the traysof food from her, and then practically ordered her to go home. What inthe heck?" Sophie said, looking far meaner than Iris ever could.
Trey bit back a smile and tried to look contrite. "Well, if I wereMacie Jo, I'd be furious with you too. Really Sophie, using your styliststo make deliveries."
Sophie huffed out a breath and tried to regroup. "She was here tomeet you, Trey. She wanted you to give her a tour."
Trey stopped smiling. "Why?"
Sophie glared and kept up her assault. She was determined to helpTrey whether he wanted help or not. "Because she's perfect for you Trey.
I know it. Everyone knows it. And if you'd just give her a chance, you'dknow it too."
Trey's eyes turned a shade colder. "I believe I mentioned to you justthe other day that I've already found the perfect woman. I don't want,or need, your help when it comes to my love life, Sophie. You need tostop." Sophie blinked in surprise. She had never been a witness to Treywhen he was mad, let alone been on the receiving end of Trey's anger.
Sophie paused and thought carefully before she spoke. "I love you,Trey, like you're my own brother. I care about your happiness. It killsme to see you sad. But I'm sorry, you can't seriously be in love with Iris.
I don't believe it for a second. No one in their right mind would buy it.
She is wrong for you. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I don't care what anyonesays. A woman who would destroy her own beautiful hair and get tattoosis someone with some serious issues. You need a woman like MacieJo. Beautiful, sweet, and normal," she said, stressing the word normal somuch, she practically shouted it.
Trey looked up at the sky and counted to ten. "I know you love me,and that's why I'm going to forgive you for insulting Iris. But trying tosell me on normal when I can have her isn't going to work. Do I looklike a man who wants to spend the rest of his life bored to death? Sophie,I'm only going to say this one more time. Leave it alone. This is none ofyour business."
Trey turned and walked away before he said anything he'd seriouslyregret. He heard Sophie kicking up gravel and sighed as she ran to catchup to him, her little frame eating up the distance with surprising speed.
Refusing to look at her, he picked up his pace. She'd get tired after awhile.
"Family dinner! My house, this Sunday. I insist that you bring Iristo meet your parents if you're so sure she's perfect for you," she saidgrasping the sleeve of his shirt.
Trey stopped and stared at Sophie. She thought she had him. Hegrinned wickedly down at his sister-in-law and took the challenge withrelish. "I can't wait. We'll bring the salad," he said and left her in thedust, unsure and worried.

Sledding on New Year's Eve
Dad and I had a blast bringing the 3 older kids (Madelyn, Chloe and Ian) sledding over at ISU while Gina, Mom and Hannah took Charlotte and Moses to Costco.
Here's a once in a lifetime opportunity to remember Dad in his full energy – sledding down the hill! 🙂 Love you dad!
Hannah and her kids went home around 5:30 or so. It was really nice to visit with her and spend time as family!
In the evening, after putting the girls (Chloe and Charlotte) to bed we had shrimp, chips, veggies and dip while watching a German news television station that mom and dad get up there in Pocatello. Pretty interesting piece on an artist who committed art fraud and was sentenced to 6 years in prison. Stuff you don't hear on the news here in UT :).
After this we just spend some time reading and meditating. Very nice day all around!

By Arman Barari on Mar 21, 2012 with Comments 0
Thailand is becoming the new China by the looks of things, with more and more car makers making production plant there and selling exclusive models.
Mitsubishi just announced sales of its new Mirage global compact car in the Thai market. The Mirage will be made at a brand-new third factory at Mitsubishi Motors Thailand's (MMTh) Laem Chabang Plant; the largest MMC plant outside of Japan. The Mirage will first be sold in Thailand, followed by ASEAN countries, Japan, Europe, then expand to other markets successively.
The Thai-market Mirage will be equipped with a 1.2L MIVEC engine that delivers fuel efficiency of 22km/L, among the best in its class, and above the Thai government's requirements for "eco-car" certification. The Thai-market Mirage will be priced between THB 380,000 to 551,000 depending on trim level, and plans are to sell 2,500 units per month in Thailand.
Mitsubishi press release:
Mr. Osamu Masuko, President of MMC, noted just before a ceremony marking the event in Thailand:
"I am pleased to present the Mirage first in Thailand. The Mirage is an all-new compact car focused on premium fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions just right for the times where demand for superior fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness are increasing all over the world. I would like to personally thank the Thai government for their promotion of their Eco-car Programme, allowing us the chance to bolster our Thai operations. After Thailand, the Mirage will be exported to ASEAN countries, then gradually make its way around the world."
The Mirage's Product Features:
- Delivers fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions that are among the best in its class thanks to its all-new MIVEC[1] engine and thoroughly reduced aerodynamic resistance and rolling resistance.
- Provides nimble handling inherent to a compact car while utilizing high-efficiency packaging to maintain interior space for five adults.
- Optimisation of the body structure and more extensive use of high-tensile strength panel make the vehicle some seven percent[2] lighter than a usual car for its class, contributing to better fuel economy. The Mirage uses Mitsubishi's impact-resistant RISE[3] body, which absorbs and distributes impact force to deliver high levels of occupant safety.
- High level of quality through MMDS (Mitsubishi Motors Development System), a comprehensive quality management system that sets and assesses/evaluates the
- achievement of specific performance benchmarks within each stage of operations from vehicle planning, sales and after-sales services, and MMPW (Mitsubishi Motors Production Way), a unified global quality assurance framework.
- In addition, prior to production, MMC has seasoned inspectors from its Japanese factories stationed in Thailand to inspect manufactured units at the new third factory in order to make sure that the same quality standards from its Japanese factories are reached.

- When you scold children, try not to mentally hurt them. Moreover, try not to insult them in front of people.

<video> tag for the H.264 encoding standard, there was immediate reaction. While some of it was either badly informed views by people who can't handle
indirect causality or astroturf trolling by competitors, some of it was well-observed. For example, when they said:
"Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies."
A large number of commentors on the Google blog said that the move was unjustified "because H.264 is now free". This is a complex topic that it's hard to explain concisely. But as I said last August, H.264 is not the kind of Free that matters. The MPEG-LA patent consortium taxes the H.264 standard so that the patent holders don't have to get their hands dirty or be identified as information highwaymen, and their fee waiver delivers some flexibility to some people.
But the rich media delivery chain that finally gets the video to those people is by no means free, and when anyone encourages use of H.264 they increase the pressure to pay up in order to play.
More than that, they also encourage a world that excludes open source. The requirement for any kind of special license in order to implement a technology is antithetical to implementing open source software, and regardless of the availability of projects like X264 the chilling effect is to be avoided.
But all these points are also true of Adobe Flash. So why not drop that too? Is it not hyprocritical to keep it? If you're an absolutist, probably yes. But there's a calculation going on here about steering the web into the level plains of truly open standards. H.264 support in the
<video> tag is not the same as Flash support.
- We're only talking about the HTML5
<video>tag here. Only web sites already supporting HTML5 for video delivery will be affected. All those comments saying they will stop being able to view video today are way off the mark.
- HTML5 is an emerging standard and anyone dealing with it has to expect change constantly. So all those comments of the form "breaking the massive work I've already done" are off the mark.
- There are workable alternatives to H.264 in the form of both WebM and Theora, both already supported on Firefox and Opera so that the extra burden on video suppliers is not great (unless they have been ignoring Firefox when delivering HTML5 video). So those comments about the extra burden on people serving video are short of the mark.
Flash and HTML5 are competitors. Google can only drop Flash support when HTML5 is supported sufficiently across the web to have critical mass. Arguably by finally joining Firefox and Opera in their opposition to H.264, this move will achieve it - another step on the path to being able to pragmatically afford to drop Flash.
So it's too early to call Google hypocrites. I think this bold move is another step towards an end to the Flash monopoly on rich media. Good one, Google.

Louis Vuitton Race BagsLouis Vuitton
Asides crushing heavily on Lewis Hamilton, the British formula one race driver, I know next to nothing about racing and competitions as I do consider them sufficiently dangerous to not get involved in. But race has been brought close to familiar grounds now with the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2017 Race bag collection that were just recently released.
Louis Vuitton took inspiration from racing signature aesthetics -the checkered flag dovetails, the bright colours, and infused them on the bag with larger than usual Louis Vuitton logo and the brand's signature Damier check. The overall effect is loud, fashion forward, eccentric and commensurate with racing tracks and cars.
Creative director of the brand, Nicolas Ghesquiere, experimented with bold color palettes and monograms and while at first glance, it all looks a bit too much and distracting but closer inspection gives it a somewhat quirky vibe we are sure would be appreciated by a lot of street style stars and celebrities.
Paired with monochrome outfits of white, black and nude hues, this bags would give your style the added vibe to keep you stylish and trendy!
Louis Vuitton race bags latest you may have seen it on the fashion show that has gone on. The motif is very interesting with a mix of colors that will make you appear more maximum. Louis Vuitton race bags ranging from alma, alma BB, neverfull, speedy, to petite malle clutch. It also presents the collections of Louis Vuitton Race Bandouliere. Really a collection of Louis Vuitton race bags are pretty awesome isn't it?
Louis Vuitton recently presented their Cruise 2017 Collection at the Niterói Museum of Contemporary Arts in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The sporty collection pays homage to the city's culture which presents vibrant colors, football and Grand Prix prints with a touch of Parisian flair. The star of the show is the Boombox Bag which is made of the Petite Malle bags which can even play music through Bluetooth. The iconic Speedy Bag features racing prints with Vuitton logo emblazoned on it and comes with a combination of the House classic materials such as the Damier, Epi and Monogram Canvas. The City Steamer gets an edgy update with a variety of pockets and rivets. Louis Vuitton introduces the Football print seen on the Steamer and Twist bags.
I've never been a NASCAR fan (or even seen a NASCAR race, for that matter), but I've always thought the league's team jackets, full of advertising patches and competing colors and lots of miscellaneous stuff, were kind of cool. They're sporty and exuberant, with little consideration for aesthetic gentility or traditional design norms. For Cruise 2017, Louis Vuitton took a page out of that playbook with the bold, bright Louis Vuitton Race Bags.
Racing's traditional checkered flag dovetails nicely with Louis Vuitton's signature signature Damier check, which gives the brand common aesthetic ground with motorsports that you wouldn't otherwise expect. From there, creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere experiments with color combinations and angles, capping things off with colorful monogram trim. It's a lot of look, as Tim Gunn would say, but, oddly enough, most of it works. That's especially true of the blue-based bags, which are more aesthetically pleasant than their orange counterparts.
I'm a little surprised to say it, but I kind of love the Louis Vuitton Race Bags? The blue Speedy, Neverfull and Alma BB Bags are pieces I could see myself incorporating into my mostly black wardrobe and enjoying a lot because they're so aggressively different than everything else out there right now. I have a feeling not all of you will agree, though, so feel free to roast me for it in the comments.

About Us
Ocean Care Center provides immediate hospital-level emergency care without the sometimes unavoidable inconveniences of a busy hospital emergency room. And that's why we've become so valuable to area residents since we first opened our doors years ago as the satellite emergency department of the Ocean Medical Center in Brick, a member of the trusted Meridian Health Family.
What is a Satellite Emergency Department?
A satellite emergency department is distinct from an inpatient, traditional hospital. With the exception of trauma, it has the same capabilities as conventional Emergency Departments, 24 / 7 – with all the necessary personnel and emergency equipment.
When is it appropriate to go directly to a Full-Service Acute Care Hospital Emergency Department?
New Jersey state regulations stipulate that patients who require advanced life support, critical care, surgery, advanced radiological and laboratory testing, are in labor, or suffer from medically complex conditions should be cared for at the closest acute care hospitals, and not a Satellite Emergency Department.
Such types of patients are:
- Patients treated by advanced life support personnel or a mobile intensive care unit and require life support care.
- Patients with psychiatric illness, in crisis, under the influence of alcohol or other substances, or demonstrating altered mental status.
- Women more than 20 weeks pregnant with medical problems related to the pregnancy.

While the duo of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele maybe best known for their comedy in the titular Key And Peele, many will fondly remember their horror themed sketches that straddled the line between "funny" and "scary." Need I bring up that creepy dying kid bit… So it only makes sense that post-show, Jordan Peele has written and directed his very own horror movie!
Titled Get Out, it's a "speculative thriller" that was also produced by Peele in partnership with none other than Blumhouse Productions, the studio behind movies like Sinister and The Visit. The story follows a young African-American man, Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) on a seemingly friendly trip to visit his white girlfriend Rose's (Allison Williams) family for the weekend. Chris can't help but feel that her parents, Missy (Catherine Keener) and Dean (Bradley Whitford) have sinister intentions. From the look of things in the trailer, he's terribly right. Jordan Peele had been touting his horror debut for a bit, wanting to use the genre to explore race relations, which he stated "hasn't really been done within the genre since 'Night Of The Living Dead' 47 years ago."
And while it'll be very interesting to see how those social issues are explored, I'm especially curious to see how the horror aspects are explored as well. It appears that Chris will have to deal with some form of hypnotic or nightmarish terror from his girlfriend's family that threaten to warp his reality and his mind. Adding a bit of a supernatural terror to underly the social commentary.
Watch the trailer here, Get Out will be released into theaters nationwide next year on February 24th, 2017!

Thanks once again for the plans, we are over the moon and are so grateful for all the work you have put into them. It feels like a huge step forward to have a master plan.
Mr & Mrs L, Bridge of Allan
I couldn't be more pleased with the work you have done. Your attention to detail is wonderful. I will have a lot of pleasure in the garden. You have given me all I asked for and more. The workmanship is second to none.
Mrs G, Stirling
Our garden is looking fabulous! Thank you for listening to us and giving us what we had not been able to achieve, without you.
Mr & Mrs S, Larbert
We are absolutely delighted with the work carried out to transform our small garden into a modern, contemporary, low maintenance space with bespoke seating and gorgeous plants. The team are professional, creative and full of ideas. Everything was done on schedule and we were kept informed of progress from start to finish. We love our new garden and highly recommend Vialii Garden Design.
PS the cats love it too!
Jackie & David, Stirling
We are getting lots of pleasure from the garden – great design, good workmanship- and we are looking forward to the planting. Thanks again to the team.
Mr & Mrs C, Bridge of Allan
Thank you very much for the lovely job you have made of the patio. I could not be more delighted. Even in the rain the colours of the stone are quite amazing. Also you made a great job tidying up after work was over.
Mrs D, Stirling
I just wanted to let you and Michael know that the garden is blooming fabulously – we love being out in it. It has made the space so much more usable for us all (especially in this lovely weather!!)
Mrs K, Dunblane
You were right Michael, I do love the pots now and I am sure they will look even better when the surrounding shrubs become more mature. Once again thanks to you and your team for a perfect job, I will certainly be recommending you to other people.
Miss S, Stirling
Linsey and I are delighted with the way things are coming along, we can see how this is finally going to be a useable space for us and more importantly, Thea. We can't wait to see it finished, but we couldn't be happier with the progress so far and the way things are starting to look. The Gabion baskets have been a great idea from a design perspective, we really like the way they look and that it was a "green" way to reuse a lot of the old rubble from the garden. I am glad the lads talked me out of filling them though, that was a bit more complex than I had anticipated! It would be remiss of me not to say again how happy we've been with you and the lads for the way you have gone about the work in general. The guys are always happy to have a chat to explain how things are coming or what is needed, letting us know what is happening next etc. (and are just generally nice guys) and obviously you have kept us in the loop as well, both on email/phone and when you are on site. I know you'll consider that normal, good customer practice, but in my experience it's certainly not always the norm, so I feel like I should highlight it positively when people are doing it so well, rather than simply take it for granted! It's been a pleasure to be involved in so far, which given the scale of work and scary (for us) budget could easily have been far more stressful. That there's been little stress at all speaks volumes for how you and your team have gone about it. So thank you.
Mr McM, Alloa
We absolutely love the garden! We can't thank you and Michael enough – and Connor and the rest of the team of course.
Mrs K, Dunblane
The garden is beautiful – even better than i imagined it would be. Thank you so much for the design and build. I'm not sure which bit i love best – the garage wall, the water feature, the path, the patios, the plants…Please also send a huge thank you to the team – they were a pleasure to have around and always worked so diligently.
Mrs McA, Stirling
The garden is lovely and we are very pleased with the plants and all the work done by yourselves and the staff.
Ms A, Perth
On completion of a new extension to our home, the garden needed updating to match. You took our ideas, added to them and came up with a design that fully delivered what we had envisioned. We are really enjoying being in the garden and the views of it from our house. The pleached hedge, pencil conifers, sculptures and beautiful planting create lovely perspectives from the various seating areas. Connor, Jordan and Aroa were a pleasure to work with and they have left us with a top quality result.
Dr & Mrs W, Bridge of Allan
The garden is looking pretty amazing!! Thank you very very much! Looks like something out of grand designs!! So impressed! All my neighbours have commented on how great it looks.
Mrs D, Larbert
I still smile every time I come into the garden, it's maturing beautifully.
Ms C, Stirling
I'm very pleased with the garden; at last I have space I can use.
Mrs S, Callander
What a super job! It all looks great – the existing trees etc look much smarter for a good (educated!) prune and the new plants, pots, stone arrangements are all really lovely. I am very pleased with the garden – lovely hard landscape design and great planting plan. It really opens up the space, is practical for the dogs, and the plants you have selected are lovely.
Mrs McL, Stirling
Jill, Michael and the rest of Team Vialii have now overhauled both our front and back gardens. They have gone from uninviting areas that were barely used to stunning, practical gardens that have been used more in the last 12 months than in the preceding 10 years! Jill and Michael are consummate professionals and the quality of workmanship and customer service from Vialii is unparalleled. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, whatever the size of garden you need transforming.
Dr McC, Glasgow
We moved into a new build home with a completely bare back garden. Michael listened to what we wanted and pitched ideas to make the best use of the space. Michael then presented us with a choice of garden designs which incorporated everything we wished for and more. Michael and his team were extremely hard working, punctual and friendly throughout. Our garden is now transformed into a beautiful space which feels like and extension of our home. We love it, and would happily recommend Vialii for any gardening design or services.
Mr & Mrs B, Stirling
Michael and Jill, thank you, we are very pleased with our garden. You both worked closely with us on the design of the garden, taking our ideas and developing them, with your own ideas to create a garden that really works for the whole family. We knew our site was difficult, as it was hilly and wet, but it has been transformed, and is now being used almost daily, as opposed to a few times a year. The difference between the before and after is astonishing, and the garden really does now have that "wow" factor. Also, you were good at coming up with solutions to resolve problems as they occurred. Finally, and we are only now starting to see this, but the planting is working all year round with different colours coming through in different seasons, helping to really make it a year round garden. Thanks again to you and the team for all your hard work.
Mr & Mrs P, Sauchie

Updated May 21, 2018 Lenovo's Essential G series was a popular entry-level laptop but the company has discontinued it for the newer IdeaPad series. Seventeen-inch laptops have become more specialized as performance systems and are typically not in the budget-friendly categories anymore. Be sure to check out the Best 17-inch Laptops or Best Laptops Under $500 for currently available options. The Bottom Line Jan 31 2013 - Lenovo may have left the major 17-inch laptop market but their G780 is a surprising budget offering for those wanting a larger screen which some graphics capabilities behind it. This is one of the least expensive models out there to feature NVIDIA graphics. The design is hampered though by the omission of a USB 3.0 port for external storage options. This means that buyers will have to weigh the tradeoff between graphics and storage. If you don't expect to store many files, then this is an excellent choice but if you don't need the graphics then some other options might be a better fit. Pros Affordable Price TagDedicated Graphics Processor Cons Lacks USB 3.0 PortsKeyboard Feels More Cramped Description Intel Core i5-3210M Dual-Core Mobile Processor4GB PC3-12800 DDR3 Memory500GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive8x DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Burner17.3" WSXGA+ (1600x900) Display With VGA WebcamNVIDIA GeForce GT 635M Graphics With 2GB MemoryFast Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WirelessFour USB 2.0, HDMI, VGA, 4-in-1 Card Reader16.4" x 10.7" x 1.8" @ 6.6 lbs.Windows 8, Office Starter, McAfee Anti-Virus Review: Lenovo G780 Jan 31 2013 - Lenovo has shifted much of its focus on smaller screen laptops which makes the G780 very different from their usual lineup. This is a budget focused model which is both good and bad. In terms of the exterior, it has a very basic design that relies heavily on plastics that just does not have the same level of feel as the IdeaPad models. The heart of the Lenovo G780 is the Intel Core i5-3210M dual-core processor. This isn't a high-end processor by any means but should provide sufficient performance for the average computer user that tends to browse the web, watch streaming video or use some productivity programs. It is matched up with 4GB of DDR3 memory which runs smooth enough with the Windows 8 operating system but this is one area that buyers will likely want to consider spending a bit to upgrade it to 8GB for a smoother overall experience. Since this is a budget oriented system, storage is a bit less than you average 17-inch laptop thanks to a 500GB hard drive. The drive is also of a 5400rpm spin rate variety which means that it isn't as quick when booting up or loading programs as much of the competition. The big disappointment though is the external expansion capabilities. The chassis only provides USB 2.0 peripheral ports which offer limited external performance compared to the USB 3.0 standard. In fact, this is pretty much the only 17-inch unit on the market to lack such a peripheral port. It still does provide a DVD burner for playback and recording of CD or DVD media even though the physical format is not as relevant for many computer users as it once was. Graphics are one of the big surprises for the Lenovo G780 laptop. The screen is pretty typical of the budget oriented 17-inch panels. It offers a native resolution of 1600x900 which is certainly much higher than the typical budget laptop with a smaller screen that relies on a 1366x768 resolution. The panel isn't going to stand out for its color, brightness or viewing angles but it is quite functional. What really sets this system apart though is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M graphics processor. Most systems in this price range rely on the Intel HD Graphics built into the CPU. This isn't a high-end dedicated processor but it provides a greater flexibility for the system. For instance, it can be used for casual PC gaming at lower resolutions and detail levels that wouldn't be considered with the integrated graphics. In addition, it allows for a broader range of non-3D applications that can be accelerated such as Photoshop. The keyboard design for the Lenovo G780 is slightly different from the other Lenovo models primarily because this is a larger system. It offers nice isolated keys that the company has moved to that is generally pretty good. The only real problem is that the right-hand side keys including the shift key are a bit cramped in order to fit the numeric keypad. There is a large amount of space on the left and right such that they could have provided a bit more space. The trackpad is a decent size and features a dedicated rocker bar style button rather than integrated ones. It is a decent trackpad but nothing really stands out for it and multitouch gestures are generally well supported with a few that need multiple attempts to work. The battery pack for the Lenovo G780 uses a fairly typical 48WHr variety that is found in the majority of laptops. In digital video playback testing, this resulted in just over three and a half hours before going into standby mode. This is fairly typical for most 17-inch laptops in this price range. It still falls well short of the Dell Inspiron 17R that is a bit more expensive but uses a lower power processor along with a larger battery pack to achieve just under 5 hours. With a price tag of around $600 for the Lenovo G780 is definitely one of the most affordable budget systems. There are a couple of notable competitors in this market segment. The ASUS X75A can be found for the same price with roughly the same configuration but with a USB 3.0 port and relying on integrated graphics. The Dell Inspiron 17R we've previously mentioned is a bit more expensive at $700 but offers longer running times, bigger hard drive and USB 3.0 ports but at a slightly lower general performance. Finally, the HP Pavilion g7 is more affordable but relies on the AMD platform which has less general performance. Continue Reading

Part of the reason that the bible is full of internal contradictions, is the same reason that a dream is full of internal contradictions.
Imagine you have an impressionist painting: it's messy, and the image emerges - and you might say, 'well, we could replace that with a nice clean line drawing, or even a sequence of stick figures, and get the basic point across.' Well, you would, but the inarticulable richness would be lost in the premature attempt to bring logical closure to the phenomena.
That may be the difference between dreams and waking thought: waking thought sacrifices completeness, for coherence; dream thought sacrifices coherence for completeness.
Precise thought excludes too much, and imprecise thought is not sufficiently coherent. So we do both.
Precise thought: left hemisphere, linguistically mediated, sequential, logical.
Incoherent but complete thought: imagistic, emotion-based, right hemisphere.
The right hemisphere even has a more diffuse structure - it's like the right hemisphere is trying to get a picture of everything. It's not going to be a very detailed picture, because it's a picture of everything, full of contradictions. But at least it's a picture of everything.
And the left says, 'that's not good enough for precise action.' And it's not. So we narrow it to precision, but lose the richness.
You need both, so there's an interplay. The documents that the Bible is composed of are half dream and half articulated thought, and they have the advantages [and] disadvantages of both. To the degree that it's articulated, it's in a dogmatic box; to the degree that it's a dream, it's still incoherent.
The problem is, you have to move through the entire world, even though you don't know it in detail. So you need detailed knowledge, where detailed knowledge is necessary; and you need vague-but-complete knowledge where that's necessary. Its a very uncomfortable balance. We have to face everything, even though we don't understand anything completely.

text: The locally designated Huntley Park Historic District takes its name from the square block of land bounded by South Second, South Third, Prospect and Garden streets. That parcel was DeKalb's first park - Huntley Park. The name comes from town founders Russell and Lewis Huntley, original owners of most of the land that became DeKalb. According to the 1885 "Portrait and Biographical Album of DeKalb County, Illinois," county surveyor Daniel W. Lamb platted a portion of sections 22 and 23 of DeKalb Township as a new village in November 1853. The railroad had arrived that August, on its westward track from Chicago. Russell Huntley granted the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad (later the Chicago and Northwestern, now the Union Pacific) the right-of-way across his land, along with a site for a depot (behind where the building currently housing O'Leary's Irish Pub & Grill is located). Three railroad investors by the names of Robinson, Van Nortwick and Holland also received land from Huntley for speculative purposes. This was a common practice for obtaining rail service in those days. Research that led to the approval of the Huntley Park Historic District in the spring of 1982 disclosed the fact that the Huntley brothers intended for the plot of land in Block 8 - Huntley Park - to function as "open green space for public enjoyment" for all time to come. The parcel was set aside as the Public Square, to be the focus for educational, civic and religious life in the new community. Municipal improvements By the 1870s, the square had become the site of the city's first waterworks system. As it was the highest land in the original town area, a 2,400-foot well was dug there around 1874, at a cost of $20,000. A wooden water tank was added in 1886. A 40-horsepower steam engine was subsequently installed in a brick-and-stone pump house. The wooden storage tank was replaced in 1889 by a steel standpipe having a capacity of 250,000 gallons of water. The new tank was removed in the 1950s. The pump house and standpipe were pictured in the 1894 "Daily Chronicle Illustrated Souvenir Edition." The city of DeKalb retained ownership of the Public Square until after the DeKalb Park District was established in 1935. In the early 1900s, meanwhile, plans were apparently put in place to redesign or otherwise improve the property. According to materials in the possession of the park district, noted landscape architect Jens Jensen was consulted regarding what work should be done. The park's centerpiece for the next 50 years or so was a striking stone bandstand with an orange tile roof. The gazebo in DeKalb Square Park at North Fourth Street and East Lincoln Highway is based on the historic Huntley Park structure of the early 1900s. Old-timers have reminisced that the DeKalb Municipal Band concerts held at the bandstand (and alternatively at Liberty Park on the north side of town) would attract people who parked their cars on the surrounding streets, honking their horns to sound their approval of the music. The bandstand was removed in the 1950s. Stone benches remaining in Huntley Park today date from the first decade of the 1900s. The one opposite 407 S. Second St. bears the dedication "Fortnight Club 1906." Near the Garden Street end of the park is a long two-sided bench, unmarked by whoever placed it there. Just in off South Third Street, meanwhile, is a large stone structure that served as a drinking fountain originally. Forgotten history During the research leading to the designation of the Huntley Park neighborhood as a local historic district, one longtime resident even imparted forgotten information about the trees in the park. It was his contention that the trees we see there today were planted following the end of World War I in honor of those men from DeKalb who gave their lives on the battlefields of Europe. The trees were originally surrounded by metal guards with memorial plaques on them. None of the guards survive today, nor do any other records about the plantings. In September 2002, the newest addition to the park was installed. The brick labyrinth, entered from the southeast, is a spiraling walkway 57 feet in diameter. At its dedication, one of the speakers described the structure as "a place to meditate and exercise ... a place for children to run and play" and said it was "different things to different people." The labyrinth sprang from an idea developed initially as a project for the Northern Illinois University Art Museum during the renovation of Altgeld Hall, when the museum was without a home. The Huntleys would no doubt be pleased with the ongoing uses to which the former Public Square has been adapted. --- Steve Bigolin is an expert in DeKalb County history.

White-water Rafting
The rapids are run in large rubber rafts launched from just below the Falls. You can do a half day trip, full day or two day. When the river is high, from March to July, only the last 13 rapids can be attempted. As the water subsides, from June to February, all 23 are navigable. If you are keen for the ultimate thrill then a multi-day trip along the Zambezi is it!
After a full day of rafting, you'll set up camp in the Batoka Gorge and listen to the wildlife, gaze into the campfire and down a few cold drinks before you settle in for the night. Rise to a big breakfast, and the crazy adventure starts again! Perfect for a group (4+ persons) travelling together. Overnight camps are on sandy beaches on the River's edge, deep within the Gorge.

Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 will reduce the number of state agencies from 12 to 10, while five existing state agencies will be replaced by new agencies.
The career track for California state IT employees may improve after Gov. Jerry Brown's massive government reorganization plan takes effect, says Sue Johnsrud, chief operating officer for the governor's office. Johnrud's comments were made during a panel discussion on leadership at the CIO Academy held Feb. 6 and 7 in Sacramento.
"Everyone always acknowledges that one of the biggest challenges is trying to hire and retain IT professionals. That's a huge challenge in state government," said Johnsrud. "Putting General Services and CalHR with CTA [California Technology Agency], we're hoping we can start a better dialogue and… start more leadership academies where we can find ideas on how we can better create the skill sets that we need. Not just the skill sets but how to retain people."
Johnsrud said the vision of creating CalHR, which consolidated the State Personnel Board and the Department of Personnel Administration, included making it easier to hire IT staff by streamlining the exam process and having the Technology Agency under the same agency to help with the effort.
According to estimates, 50 percent of California's IT workforce will be of retirement age within the next five years.
"Succession planning is more important than ever and that is exactly why the Technology Agency's Office of Professional Development, via IT Leadership Academy, training and educational forums, is taking the necessary steps today to ensure California has the skilled workforce needed ten years from now," said Assistant Secretary Kari Gutierrez, who heads up the office.
Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 will reduce the number of state agencies from 12 to 10. Five existing state agencies will be replaced by new agencies, including the Government Operations Agency, the Business and Consumer Services Agency and the Transportation Agency. The California Technology Agency is among the agencies targeted for changes and will become the Department of Technology under the new Government Operations Agency. The Plan, which passed into law last summer, is slated to be implemented no later than July of this year.

It's a Kenner ROTJ version. Reasonable enough price IMO so took a punt.
Arrived today, and the AT AT is mint, and box and inserts look aged. It has instructions, sticker sheet, guns and batteries, nice non yellowy guns, and a Kenner bag with all the goodies etc
The box has kaybee price sticker, old yellow tape etc... but it also has a flap that reads : printed by 'R smith and crew'.
Alarm bells ring reproduction etc etc !! but the box looks aged and authentic, sharp print etc
I was wondering if any of you chaps (who unlike me know arses from elbows!) could tell me if this is legit or otherwise?
Not being entirely lazy; did a search myself but to no avail... I've seen some guys on here with monster at at walker collections, so hoping someone can help!
Will post pics if needs be.

CWU Manifesto
Page 1 of 1 • Share
CWU Manifesto
As a member of the CWU, you are expected to follow the city's laws to the letter and provide the example for your fellow citizens. You are not better than the uninitiated in the city but rather hope to set the standard by which the whole of humanity lives by. Your dedication, work ethic, and civility factor heavily into being accepted and will continue to remain important during your tenure. Being brought into the fold does not mean you are now exempt from the expectations of others.
"The ideal citizen is one of compassion; dedication; uncompromising loyalty. These are what the Union hopes to bring out in us. This is what we should all aspire to be." - Dr. Alexander P. Groville, City Administrator to City 26
- Always assist in public works when time allows. Should you have scheduled work elsewhere in the city or require a respite to ensure peak condition, assistance can wait.
- Never delay or hinder an investigation. As a member of the CWU, it is your job to either assist the efforts of the CCA by providing witness statements or evidence that you know of, or by removing yourself from their path so that you do not slow them. Your safety, and the safety of the city, is dependent on the expedience of your protectors and they can only move as quickly as we as a whole allow them.
- Your additional rations are not a reward for just being a member. You are given extra sustenance so that you may maintain a heightened workload. It is very possible to lose that privilege should you fail to meet expectations of either the CCA or of the CWU.
- Lend a helping hand to citizens that are struggling to get by, should their known behavior not conflict with Union goals. Sometimes, ration cycles can be missed. Sometimes, falling victim to theft puts an individual behind. Ease this burden and encourage others to chip in as well. Being a dedicated worker is not enough to be the pride of the CWU, a servant's heart should be present as well.
- You are not a business owner. You are a public servant. Sales are not to benefit yourself or even the CWU but instead offer a level of stability to the city to help foster growth and unity. Some proceeds will be left for you to use for personal requirements but the rest will go directly towards maintaining the city and providing work for its citizenry.
- You are not the assistant to the CCA. Provide usable information for them to take advantage of, offer a polite smile, but do not treat them as subordinates or peers. They are your guardians, not your close friends. Treat them with respect and let them work.
"The ideal citizen is one of compassion; dedication; uncompromising loyalty. These are what the Union hopes to bring out in us. This is what we should all aspire to be." - Dr. Alexander P. Groville, City Administrator to City 26

Most students with a Bachelor's degree in Technical Computer Science (Computer Science & Engineering) choose to continue with a related Master's programme. You can do this at the University of Twente or at another Dutch or foreign university. Here at the UT, you can choose from the following Master's programmes and specializations:
- Computer Science with specializations in:
- Business Information Technology
- Embedded Systems
- Interaction Technology
- Internet Science & Technology
- Double degree programme via EIT Digital Master School in either Cyber Security or Human Computer Interaction and Design
- Science Education and Communication (this will equip you to become a Computer Science teacher at 'havo' or 'vwo' level in the Netherlands)
Whether the economy is growing or struggling, the job opportunities in the field of Information and Communication technology are steadily rising. This means that job prospects for computer scientists are excellent. As a Technical Computer Science graduate you can, for example, work at one of those large information technology companies you know from your daily use of their systems for Internet searches, or your social media activities. You may want to work at a smaller company that is just starting out, or even launch your own business. There is also a lot of demand for people who understand and can apply information technology in healthcare institutes, transport companies, and in the creative industry. Specifically, there is a need for people who want to use technology to solve problems, while also asking themselves how they can organize all this and place it in the right context. These experts – or computer scientists – can choose from many positions in the job market, because they are at home in a young branch of science.

All qualitative research methodologies have an appropriate time and place, along with their pros and cons. A mixed methods approach can help you gain a more well-rounded perspective you may not uncover with a single approach – but why stop there?
In this webinar, you'll learn how to extract overlooked nuggets for richer learning by combining different activities, exercises, timing, audience — even devices (e.g., mobile) to keep participants engaged.
Through two case studies, you will:
- Uncover various "angles" you can mix
- Review case studies with testimonials around output
- Walk away armed with ways to think about your next study to improve the learning and experience for both you and the respondent
If you're interested in learning how to use a mixed methods approach to yield better insights, join us for our latest webinar.
Interested in this topic but can't make it? Contact us and we can arrange a session to suit your team.


text: The easiest way around this would be to get a dual terminal battery. A lot of the agm style batts have this setup. Probably better to run the amp from a dedicated post also. When I ran a winch on my old jeep, the school of thought was to run a high amp draw like that from its own source on the battery instead of piggybacking it off the cables the vehicle uses to run. The one I bought for my jeep is an Exide Orbital. Optima makes the red and yellow tops too. These are more expensive batteries, but the advantage is they're made with a spiral wound core and filled with gel instead of acid. Makes them a little more durable. Also means you can buy them online and they can be shipped without any extra bs.

MONDAY'S PREP ROUNDUP Tigers extend SWC win streak to 62
The Edwardsville Tigers resumed their run of dominance in the Southwestern Conference with an 81-23 girls basketball rout of the Collinsville Kahoks on Monday night at Fletcher Gym.
The Tigers, who built leads of 24-4 after one quarter and 53-11 by halftime, improve to 4-0 and 1-0 in the SWC. Collinsville is 2-3 and 0-1 in the league. Edwardsville, which plays at Belleville West on Thursday, has won 62 consecutive SWC games.
Tennessee recruit Kortney Dunbar knocked down five 3-pointers and scored 25 points to lead the Tigers, who got 16 points from Aaliyah Covington and nine apiece from Maddi George and Morgan Sharpe.
Roxana 41, Staunton 40 – Maddie Sheraka scored 18 points and Anna Whitaker chipped in 12 points and six assists to lead the Shells to a victory in Staunton. Sheraka added 12 rebounds and Erica Sheets had eight boards for the 4-3 Shells. Staunton (1-5) got 18 points from Hannah McEnery.
Nokomis 60, Metro East Lutheran 42 – The Knights trimmed a 12-point first quarter deficit to 29-25 at halftime, but could not complete the comeback at Hooks Gym in Edwardsville. Mackenzie Gocal scored 12 points and Emilee Marcuzzo had eight for Lutheran, which drops to 2-4.
North Greene 69, Jacksonville ISD 9 – The Spartans led 39-2 at halftime and rolled to the WIVC victory in Jacksonville. Tabitha Hawk scored 13 points and Ally Roesch added 10 for North Greene, which moves to 5-3.

There is a lot to learn with the communities of Hawaii, as they are strongly related to Mother Nature and some of the most sustainable societies in the world.
Hawaiians share a bond with nature. Their culture has been for hundreds of years the maintenance of a good relationship with the environment while also gathering what is necessary for the development of the community. If you have any doubt, ask a Hawaiian what is the meaning of "keiki o ka aina," a nickname that they gave to themselves, and they will answer: "Children of the land."
Protection and sustainability of the environment are vital keys to the culture of the Hawaiians. This can be noticed not only in the communities, children, and adults who live in the Hawaii, but also in the companies that are born in the land.
This reality is exceptionally faithful to the philosophies of a company named Waiākea. Waiākea produces water that is a 100% environment-friendly. They've been on the market since their foundation in 2012, with the intention not only of providing quality water to communities in Hawaii but of spreading the teachings of their culture about sustainability and respecting nature and the environment.
In 2015, Waiākea got the honor to be nominated as the most awarded beverage in North America, mainly because of the quality of their water, how clean it is and how environment-friendly the company has become while also not falling short on supply for all their clients.
Waiākea emphasizes the importance of preserving the planet, but they still have developed one of the strongest brands in the local industry. Their focus in transforming the mindset of people about the environment has begun to show results, as clients of Waiākea have shared their deeds in support of the environment and how they are also planting their own seeds to help with the cause.
Waiākea provides "Hawaiian volcanic water," and their brand has grown exponentially larger as more and more tourists, local communities and other companies have started ordering their products. This increase in their supply did not affect their focus on being a sustainable enterprise at all, as they have been awarded with nominations that reward sustainability countless times.
