|Awash in Natural Gas
"America is the Saudi Arabia of natural gas," is how one prominent Texas oilman put it. He was summing up the contents of the Potential Gas Committeeís 2009 assessment on technically recoverable natural gas. Released on June 18 by the Mines-affiliated committee, the biennial assessment was the highest in the committee's 45-year history. In plain terms, the report suggests we have almost enough recoverable natural gas to see us to the end of the century.
The 40 percent jump from 1,320.9 trillion cubic feet (TCF) in2007 to 1,836.4 in 2009 does not, for the most part, signify newly discovered resources; rather it represents improvements in recovery methods. The assessment only tallies gas that can be tapped using proven technologies. Over the last two years, operators have demonstrated they can access gas in what was previously considered a source rock, not a reservoir, which added a huge amount of gas to the assessment's bottom line. "New and advanced exploration, well drilling, and completion technologies are allowing us increasingly better access to domestic gas resources - especially unconventional gas," said Curtis.
Unconventional natural gas is a broad term covering coal bed methane, tight gas sands, shale gas and gas hydrates, all of which share a common characteristic: "They need some kind of of stimulation or enhanced recovery to make them economical," said Jennifer Miskimins, associate professor of petroleum engineering at Mines. "These are not reservoirs where you just drill and turn on the tap." Unconventional gas accounts for more than half of the 20.5 TCF of domestically recovered natural gas produced in 2008. And of the additional 515.5 TCF seen in this year's report, 85 percent is unconventional.
The Boon in Shale Gas
While unconventional gas in general accounts for 85 percent of the jump in technically recoverable natural gas this year, shale gas is the real newsmaker; it went from 200 TCF in 2007, to 616 TCF in 2009, and therefore accounts for almost all of the increase.
One person who can speak firsthand about successfully extracting shale gas is Harvey Klingensmith '75, who double-majored in geophysical engineering, and geology and geological engineering, and recently founded Stone Mountain Resources. Operating in northwest British Columbia, his company is producing 27 million cubic feet of gas per day from the area's thick shale-gas formations. "It's a brute force approach," said Klingensmith. "We go down about 10,000 feet and then drill horizontally for about 5,000 feet. We hit the shale with a hydraulic hammer of water and sand. We're pumping it in at almost 10,000 pounds of pressure per square inch."
Miskimins, who is director of the Fracturing, Acidizing, Stimulation Technology (FAST) Consortium, explains: "During the creations of these fractures, a high-grade sand or artificial proppant is placed in the fractures to keep them 'propped' open, thus creating a highly permeable channel for the natural gas to flow from the reservoir to the well." Some of Miskimins' research examines the transport of these proppants out into the fracture and the monitoring of fracture growth by micro-seismic tools that listen for miniature earthquakes that the fractures create.
Environmental and Politico-Economic Benefits
The Potential Gas Committee's assessment was widely quoted in national and international media, including The New York Times, The Financial Times, the BBC, and a detailed two-part report on National Public Radio. The reason it attracted so much attention is because the economic, political and environmental implications are profound.
The U.S. spent $390 billion importing foreign oil in 2008. Since most imported oil is used for transportation, and the technology to run cars on natural gas has been around for decades, it is conceivable that natural gas could significantly decrease U.S. spending on foreign oil. Furthermore, a greater degree of energy-independence makes the U.S. less vulnerable to interruptions in supply and it stems the flow of U.S. dollars to potentially unfriendly nations.
Natural gas also offers a way to quickly and significantly lower the country's carbon footprint and buy time to accomplish a long-term transition to carbon-neutral energy technologies. On a per-BTU basis, natural gas emits about half as much carbon dioxide as coal, and a quarter less than gasoline. Presently, coal is used to generate the largest share of the nation's electricity, 45 percent, with natural gas a distant second, at 25 percent. (The remainder comes from nuclear, hydro and renewable sources.) Shifting this balance in favor of natural gas is widely seen as a realistic pathway to lower carbon emission. Similarly, vehicles running on natural gas could make a substantial impact.
Climbing Demand
Production of natural gas has been climbing steadily for years, with an increasing proportion coming from unconventional resources. If a swing in national energy policy were to accelerate demand, the energy industry would be working harder than ever to develop the countryís plentiful endowment of these resources.
Miskimins illustrates the issue by describing the country's gas supplies as a pyramid, with the lower parts representing unconventional gas resources, and the top representing conventional reservoirs. "These are small in quantity," she said. "But it's easy to get the gas out. As you move down the pyramid, the amount of gas increases, but so does the expense and the technology required to get at them."
Thanks to improvements in fracturing, the U.S. is clearly reaching farther down the pyramid. In 2000, domestic U.S. natural gas production totaled 19.2 TCF, with less than a quarter coming from unconventional resources. In 2008, production rose to over 20 TCF, with 10.4 TCF sourced from unconventional resources.
The Mother Lode of Unconventional Gas
Another way technology can reach deeper into unconventional natural gas resources is to develop a means of tapping the largest category of them all: clathrate hydrates. "There's a tremendous resource in hydrates," said Miskimins. "We just don't know how to economically produce it right now."
Tremendous indeed. A conservative study by the U.S. Department of Energy estimates U.S. deposits at about 200,000 TCF. Another study by the U.S. Geological Survey suggests that global deposits of gas hydrates may contain more organic carbon than the world's stock of coal, oil and non-hydrate gases combined.
Clathrate hydrate deposits look rather like ice and are found below the Arctic permafrost and in sediments along coastal regions around the world. On a molecular level, the hydrocarbon gas is actually trapped inside crystalline cages that remain stable so long as they are kept under high pressure and low temperature. "If you raise temperature or reduce the pressure, the gas can escape," said Carolyn A. Koh, associate professor of chemical engineering and codirector of the Mines Center for Hydrate Research.
However plentiful, gas hydrates are the most difficult unconventional gas to recover; nevertheless, with such a potential bonanza at stake, some of the world's biggest energy companies are looking for ways to tap into the resources. ConocoPhillips is working on a method involving pumping carbon dioxide into gas hydrate fields, which liberates the gas and simultaneously sequesters the carbon dioxide. Field testing begins in the next few months.
While extracting gas hydrates from Arctic permafrost may be simpler, the bulk of this resource is found in ocean sediments below 1,300 feet, where recovery is a much greater challenge. Even so, Japan is determined to try. "The Japanese expect to recover ocean hydrates by 2016," said Koh. "They have huge deposits off their coastline and they are investing heavily because they have limited domestic fossil fuel resources."
While much of the enthusiasm for natural gas stems from its environmental benefits, Koh is quick to point out that they are approaching recovery with a great deal of care; natural gas, also known as methane, is a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
It is ironic that such a potent greenhouse gas might end up helping to slow the mounting concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but it could. And when the economic benefits are also considered, the mounting interest is hardly surprising.
Many at Mines welcome the renewed enthusiasm for natural gas sparked by the Potential Gas Committee's report. "For a long time, people have said we are running out of oil and gas," said Miskimins, "but that's not entirely accurate. It's the easily accessible part that we're running low on. There is a huge amount of unconventional gas, and Mines is going to play an important role in developing the technology to unlock it."

Milk Marketing Board Site 456 Antrim Road Skegoneill
Local residents groups Fortwilliam Action Committee, Cavehill Residents Action Group, and residents from Firmount, Chichester etc, have been meeting for the last year with the Housing Executive, Oaklee, Planners, Politicians, etc to bring about acceptable change to the original proposals for this site. Many residents will have recently received letters from Planning announcing the withdrawal of development proposals.
We would emphasise that no-one has any objections to public housing itself. The Antrim Road, and our immediate area, already includes abundant examples of social and special needs accommodation. Our objections focus on the scale, the density, the awful office-block conversions, the quality of the build, the precedent, and the potential sectarian/ flashpoint elements… Working with our local politicians on both sides, we would wish to see constructive alternatives.
Regrettably, however, the developers have just submitted NEW PLANNING PROPOSALS, to which the above community groups had objected, including;
Scale/ Density; A public housing "estate" of 34 houses and 33 flats (inc. 18 Singles)…with Resident Warden/s. Many believe that this high-density development on such a small site is wholly inappropriate for this area. It would also establish a precedent for similar major developments.
Cheap Conversion; Two of the (very ugly) current office blocks will be retained to be converted into flats. This cheap-fix, high-density conversion is necessary in order to make the development economically viable from the Housing Executive's/Oaklee's standpoint, and no doubt helps give the builder/ developer a handsome profit. Many people believe this tye of conversion is a failed social model, completely wrong for our area, and will be in no-one's long-term interest.
More to Come; Many are convinced this is only "Phase One" of an even larger estate. The current Milk Marketing Board land actually already includes Salisbury Bowling Club's rear car park and the Club's road access leading to Salisbury Avenue. The Club has also been approached by the MMB developer, and is ultimately likely to close. Furthermore, the MMB developer has also been negotiating for the purchase of the adjoining Electricity sub station on Salisbury… Both sites join on to MMB and would provide major potential for its expansion.
Sectarian/ Potential Flashpoint; Many residents in the immediate area are deeply worried that a development of this scale has the potential to destabilise the mixed element of our area, and even possibly introduce two new sectarian flashpoints;…one with Skegoneill, (via the front of the Antrim Road) and the other with Westland (via SalisburyAve. & Charnwood) These concerns are shared by other groups. This sensitive, but important issue needs to be explored in detail before proceeding.
Other objections; Some residents also object on the grounds of the increased traffic, the loss of the historic Salisbury Bowling Club amenity to the area, the impact on house prices, stability of the private sector, the lack of infrastructure to cope with such an influx of population to the area, the fact that the development is in a designated "Conservation Area", etc.
Public Protest and Objections have helped postpone this development so far… However, we must now object to these New Proposals.
Take a few minutes out for the sake of your neighbourhood. Write or E-mail your objection letter now!
Object to the new proposals. Demand that the proposed scheme be replaced with a development appropriate to the area, e.g. a smaller scale, or mixed development, joint public /private, frail elderly focus, a high quality design, no cheap-fix, office-block conversion, no phase two, and/ or explore other constructive options and elements.
REMEMBER, Wherever you live …on the Upper Antrim Road/ Castle/ Fortwilliam/ Skegoneill/ Cavehill area, this proposal will ultimately affect you.

BATON ROUGE -- Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon said Thursday he has reduced the proposed rate increase sought by Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corp., from a requested 9 percent to an average 6.5 percent boost.
Donelon's actions must now be ratified or rejected by the Citizens board when it meets Friday at 9 a.m. in Baton Rouge.
The board submitted the 9 percent rate increase request to Donelon in January. Donelon's staff reviewed the request and determined if it is justified. The board of the state-run insurer of last resort must then approve or reject Donelon's recommendations.
Citizens Chief Executive Officer Richard Robertson said he thinks the board will go along with the lower increase.
"It is what it is," Robertson said. "I thought the 9 percent was correct and proper, but I am not an actuary." He said even actuaries looking at the same data differ on a rate structure.
If the rates are approved Friday they will affect new and renewing policies as of July 1. Citizens insures about 115,000 property insurance policies in the state.
Donelon said his office shaved 0.2 percent from the 9 percent increase because mistakes made in a survey of rates in various areas that led the company to seek the increase. By law, Citizens rates must be 10 percent higher than the highest private insurance company rates in an area.
Donelon said he took off another 2.3 percent because it was excessive and served to build the company's capital and reserves.
"They don't need to be building reserves" with rates, Donelon said. He said other fees help Citizens remain solvent.
Donelon said he has been in discussions with Citizens officials about lowering the rates and also feels the lower rate increase will be acceptable to the board.
A 6.5 percent average rate would mean about a $127 hike, bringing the cost of the average homeowners policy to about $1,737 a year, up from teh persnet average of $1,606, said Steve Cottrell, Citizens' chief financial officer.
Policyholders in 40 parishes will see an increase in rates and those in 24 parishes will see a decrease, Cottrell said.

Sometimes selecting a bait is pretty easy. When buying a crankbait, you find one in a color you like, that runs a certain depth, maybe even has a certain action you want, and you buy it. If it's a jig you're buying, you look for a certain color and weight and again, you buy that one. But when it comes to shopping for spinnerbaits, how do you know what blade combination to buy? They all flash, so it really doesn't matter right? Well, the short answer to that question is...no.
Selecting the right blades on a spinnerbait can be one of the most important aspects to consider when buying a spinnerbait. For starters knowing what blades work best under what conditions will get you started in the right direction. For example willow leaf blades come through vegetation better than colorado blades. Colorado blades create more vibration more than willow leaf blades do. Copper blades are a great muddy water colored blade. You take that information and pair it with how deep you intend to use your spinnerbait, which will allow you to select the proper weight. So, take a look at where you intend to use your spinnerbait and begin your selection process. 1/4 oz and 3/8 oz are best for shallow water situations. If you intend to use your spinnerbait around a lot of vegetation, or the water is clear, then double willow leaf blades or a colorado/willow leaf combination would work great. If you're water is stained or slightly dirty a colorado/willow leaf combination or a double colorado blade set-up will work great. The same goes for when fishing around wood cover. If the area or water you are fishing in is dirty, then go strictly with a double colorado set-up, this will increase the amount of "thump" the spinnerbait puts off, which in turn will help the bass locate your bait in dirty water. These are general guidelines on blade selection based on water clarity and cover you are fishing.
Last but not least, what size blades do you select? When it comes to willow leaf blades, the most common sizes used are #3.5-#5 sized blades. The whole idea with a willow leaf blade is trying to match the size of the blade to the size of the forage you are trying to imitate. When selecting colorado blades, the bigger the size of the blade, the more vibration it creates. The dirtier the water, the more vibration you want. One last tip is this: Carry extra blades in different styles (colorado, willow, etc.) and sizes so you can change the blades on your existing spinnnerbait to adapt to the current conditions. This will make the spinnerbaits you have more versatile, and it will help you catch more fish.
Hopefully this gives you a little insight into the world of spinnerbaits, and will help you in selecting the best spinnerbait for the situations you most commonly experience.
Good Luck and Good Fishin'

Guide: Read Isaiah 1, 4; Listen to For the Cross by @bethelmusic; Pray for the oppressed, orphans, and widows; Journal on Isaiah 1:17-18
Verse of the Day: Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. Isaiah 1:18 NIV
Song of the Day: For the Cross by Bethel Music — Youtube
Bible Reading: Isaiah 1, 4
Isaiah 1
1 The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
A Rebellious Nation
2 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
"I reared children and brought them up,
but they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knows its master,
the donkey its owner's manger,
but Israel does not know,
my people do not understand."
4 Woe to the sinful nation,
a people whose guilt is great,
a brood of evildoers,
children given to corruption!
They have forsaken the Lord;
they have spurned the Holy One of Israel
and turned their backs on him.
5 Why should you be beaten anymore?
Why do you persist in rebellion?
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart afflicted.
6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head
there is no soundness—
only wounds and welts
and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged
or soothed with olive oil.
7 Your country is desolate,
your cities burned with fire;
your fields are being stripped by foreigners
right before you,
laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.
8 Daughter Zion is left
like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut in a cucumber field,
like a city under siege.
9 Unless the Lord Almighty
had left us some survivors,
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord,
you rulers of Sodom;
listen to the instruction of our God,
you people of Gomorrah!
11 "The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?" says the Lord.
"I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;
I have no pleasure
in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,
this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!
Your incense is detestable to me.
New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations—
I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
14 Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals
I hate with all my being.
They have become a burden to me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.
Your hands are full of blood!
16 Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
stop doing wrong.
17 Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.[a] Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.
18 "Come now, let us settle the matter,"
says the Lord.
"Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good things of the land;
20 but if you resist and rebel,
you will be devoured by the sword."
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
21 See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!
She once was full of justice;
righteousness used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!
22 Your silver has become dross,
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,
partners with thieves;
they all love bribes
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow's case does not come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
"Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
and avenge myself on my enemies.
25 I will turn my hand against you;[b] I will thoroughly purge away your dross
and remove all your impurities.
26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old,
your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called
the City of Righteousness,
the Faithful City."
27 Zion will be delivered with justice,
her penitent ones with righteousness.
28 But rebels and sinners will both be broken,
and those who forsake the Lord will perish.
29 "You will be ashamed because of the sacred oaks
in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens
that you have chosen.
30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves,
like a garden without water.
31 The mighty man will become tinder
and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
with no one to quench the fire."
- Isaiah 1:17 Or justice. / Correct the oppressor
- Isaiah 1:25 That is, against Jerusalem
Isaiah 4
1 In that day seven women
will take hold of one man
and say, "We will eat our own food
and provide our own clothes;
only let us be called by your name.
Take away our disgrace!"
The Branch of the Lord
2 In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. 3 Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4 The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit[a] of judgment and a spirit[b] of fire. 5 Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory[c] will be a canopy. 6 It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.

What is a Fair Share?
The discussions between the federal government and representatives of the Catholic, Anglican, United and Presbyterian church organizations attempting to address the thousands of claims for alleged abuses by former students of residential schools has reached an impasse.
Herb Gray, the former Deputy Prime Minister, feels that the victims of physical and sexual abuse with claims have been waiting too long for compensation. That is why the federal government is offering to pay 70 per cent of that compensation. Mr. Gray hopes that the churches will agree to cover the remaining 30 percent.
Sr. Marie Zarowny, SSA, the Chair of the Catholic Organization's Task Group, would agree with the first part, i.e. that individuals harmed in residential schools should be fairly and quickly compensated and that church organizations found to be liable for damages should pay their fair share. However, the unilateral government proposal is simplistic and unacceptable.
The impasse is not just about money.
It is also about the basic values that should underlie any agreement for dealing with the legacy of Indian residential schools. The unresolved residential school issues are part of a Canadian social problem that is rooted in a failed social policy of assimilation prescribed and funded by the federal government and at least partially carried out in residential institutions that we now know were not always safe enough for children.
In trying to address this legacy the churches' representatives have been guided by a few guiding principles. Without attempting to be exhaustive, I would like to cite four of them.
Not all the allegations that have been brought forward, especially through suits not based on criminal convictions, are valid. Therefore, a fair validation process for each claim is essential to uphold the right of every Canadian to be considered innocent until proven guilty and to uphold the good name of innocent defendants, both individuals and organizations.
The bankruptcy of any active church organization would not help Aboriginal Canadians and would in fact be counterproductive.
Church organizations that were not responsible for Indian residential schools are not liable, but may be prepared to provide support for healing and reconciliation, out of a pastoral commitment.
A comprehensive approach is needed that goes beyond cash compensation to individuals for specific injuries.
The federal government and the churches should be working together and building on their respective abilities to contribute to healing and reconciliation and to the restoration of right relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians. This goal was identified as a primary need by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples but the report continues to collect dust and the government seems content to simply throw money at a problem in the hopes that it will go away.
In my more cynical moments I'm inclined to think that the government's suggested 70/30 per cent split isn't as magnanimous as it seems. The government may simply be trying to cut its losses as it isn't doing very well in recent court decisions despite more than one hundred lawyers working to advance its cause. It suggests another David and Goliath scenario.
Their solution also entails a double payment by members of the various denominations who would be paying once through their taxes and again through their churches. That's like double jeopardy simply because you chose to worship in a particular church.
Furthermore, the government's proposed solution would also inevitably mean a reduction of services and valued church-sponsored programs and ministry across Canada over a lengthy period of time and could lead to further alienation between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians.
The proposal made ecumenically to the government by the Catholic, Anglican, United and Presbyterian church organizations associated with residential schools balances a number of elements that are critical to an appropriate agreement. The following framework illustrates the vision of that proposal:
Commitment to Settlement: A significant cash contribution to compensation by church organizations of the four denominations found to have legal liability.
Healing and Reconciliation: All the involved church organizations have developed mechanisms to support community-based healing and reconciliation projects. Given a proper framework, this capacity can be expanded and enhanced in a voluntary way by the participation of those organizations that are not legally liable to pay for claims as well as by concerned members of involved communities.
Life and Work: Church organizations are committed to continuing their life and work in Aboriginal communities, building on our existing presence in a way that helps renew right relations.
Alternative Redress: Church organizations are committed to the timely development and implementation of fair and effective non-adversarial processes to validate claims and assess compensation. These processes would reflect principles identified during Exploratory Dialogues (between plaintiffs, the federal government and church organizations) and "Restoring dignity", the Report of the Law Commission of Canada.
The government regrettably has summarily dismissed the proposal.
Sr. Zarowny would have done a better job than Mr. Gray as the government's point-person.

Peace and Strife
I recently received a package of letters from a group of grade five and six students who shared their thoughts about peace and about strife in hopes that their comments would be important to me. On one hand, I was more than a little taken aback when confronted by their fears. I would like to share with you two accounts of these fears:
I'm worried about Afghanistan and how the war might reach Alberta or Calgary. I am so sacred about my family. We have been getting a lot of mail, I hope we don't get anthrax. I hope that in 4 years there will be no wars because my brother will be 16. September 11 was a nightmare, I can't explain how I felt, and it was horrible, I didn't want to go to school, but you know parents—they always make you go to school, if you like it or not.
I fear that the world might be at end if this war continues. My family might get tortured if the war came here. The skies would be full of smoke and our clean atmosphere would be ruined. I am scared I will suffer of Anthrax and die. I feel scared and paranoid; I want to hide. It is frightening knowing hundreds of people die every day right now. I am scared, really scared. This is not peace.
I am afraid that many of our children are more traumatized by the events surrounding September 11th and its aftermath than we realize. We need to listen and talk with them.
On the other hand, I really appreciated their straightforward and concrete insights as to what constitutes peace and how to be a peacemaker.
"It is important to listen to others opinions... Peace is a choice."
"I share peace by sowing kindness."
"We should talk or vote on what to do; if that doesn't work, we could work together and find a settlement."
"Hatred is a really powerful word... Peace is respect, love, self-control, quiet, beauty and hopefulness."
"Our world would be better place if we all play and get along as one big family."
"I think that we make a difference if everyone gives a little! ...everyone should be allowed to say their opinions, people should be treated equally even if they have a different religion, different colour of skin."
"No matter how bad or mean the other side is, we should forgive and apologize."
"I don't want people to die by being killed, but by old age or when God wants them. I keep praying that this war will stop."
"Peace can be as simple as a hug, kiss or smile."
"I've learned that I can create peace just by simply not fighting with my brother or sister. I can also spread peace by letting my light shine and do good things."
Perhaps, without being aware of it, they echo many of the sentiments of Pope John Paul II in his message for the celebration of the World Day of Peace—"No peace without justice, no justice without forgiveness."
True peace is the fruit of justice—that moral virtue and legal guarantee which ensures full respect for rights and responsibilities, and the just distribution of benefits and burdens. But because human justice is always fragile and imperfect, subject as it is to the limitations and egoism of individuals and groups, it must include and be completed by forgiveness that heals and rebuilds troubled human relations from their foundations.
This is true in circumstances great and small, at the personal level or on a wider, even international scale. Forgiveness is in no way opposed to justice, as if to forgive meant to overlook the need to right the wrong done. It is rather the fullness of justice, leading to that tranquillity of order that is much more than a fragile and temporary cessation of hostilities. It involves the deepest healing of the wounds that fester in human hearts.
Terrorism springs from hatred, and it generates isolation, mistrust and closure. Violence is added to violence in a tragic sequence that exasperates successive generations, each on inheriting the hatred that divided those that went before it. Terrorism is built on contempt for human life.
Terrorism is often the outcome of that fanatical fundamentalism which springs from the conviction that one's own vision of the truth must be forced upon everyone else. Instead, even when the truth has been reached (and this can happen only in a limited and imperfect way), it can never be imposed. Respect for a person's conscience means that we can only propose the truth to others, who are then responsible for accepting it. To try to impose on others by violent means what we consider to be the truth is an offense against human dignity and ultimately an offense against God whose image that person bears.
Consequently, no religious leader (Christian, Jewish, or Muslim) can condone terrorism. It is a profanation of religion to declare oneself a terrorist and do violence to others in God's name.
To pray for peace is to pray for justice, for a right ordering of relations within and among nations and people. To pray for peace is to open the human heart to the inroads of God's power to renew all things. To pray for peace is to seek God's forgiveness, and to ask for the courage to forgive those who have trespassed against us.

Bruce Logue Says Ciao to a Chang-Style Noodle Bar
Chef Logue Exits La Pietra Cucina To Open His Own Italian Eatery in Atlanta
By Nancy Staab
THIS JUST IN: La Pietra Cucina's masterful chef, formerly of Mario Batali's Babbo in NYC, will create his own chef-owned, intimate resto later this year. Think: an Italian version of David Chang's Asian Noodle Bar Momofuku right in the heart of Atlanta. The joint will be called BoccaLupo (rough translation: an Italian phrase for good luck) but with his formidable chef cred we don't think Logue needs any extra luck!
Bruce Logue is a rock star chef who's just happens to have been laboring for the last several years in semi-under-the-radar fashion (not the normal status for a rock star chef!) at the Italian restaurant La Pietra Cucina. La Pietra is located in the rather impersonal Peachtree Pointe office skyscraper in the no-man's land between Buckhead and Midtown. Suffice it to say, the location did not do Logue's masterful cooking any favors, nor did the generic décor. Logue also lacked any kind of major PR hype. But that's OK. Logue really didn't need any of those extra props. Respected restaurant critics, journalists, foodies, bloggers and the general public who managed to find him, flocked to La Pietra and returned, again and again, raving all the way home about his robust and gutsy black spaghetti with Calabrese sausage and rock shrimp (a signature dish) and other delectable, always changing pastas, entrees and house-made charcuterie boards.
Prior to La Pietra, Logue worked at Mario Battali's Babbo in New York City, so this guy knows his way around strozzapretti and fazzoletti, not to mention spaghetti! In conversations last winter Logue expressed to LuxeCrush his idea of launching an intimate, affordable, casual, Italian-style pasta/noodle bar in Atlanta along the lines of David Chang's immensely popular Momofuku in NYC. And judging from his current plans, this is still the central concept--though the location is still to be determined. Logue recently shared the formal description for his new baby BoccaLupo (literal translation "Mouth of the Wolf" but figuratively an Italian good luck phrase) with LuxeCrush, so you be the judge:
"…an Italian American eatery and pasta bar [that] will focus on quality, farm fresh food ingredients, handled with care and a certain amount of finesse…The restaurant will use locally grown food from sustainable sources to the extent that it is available. Our goal is to create affordable dishes with Italian roots using the bounty of artisan food products now being produced in the United States….The menu will include antipasti and appetizers as well as Panini sandwiches at lunch. Each night and at lunch we will offer a few simple entrees that will rotate with the season as well as what is available locally. Desserts will consist primarily of house-made gelati and cookies. Beverages will include a small and affordable by-the-glass wine list as well as bottled beer and wine and a few creative cocktails." Logue also cites NYC's buzzy Torrisi Italian Specialties and Parm as an inspiration for his upcoming pasta bar.
As for the atmosphere:
"BoccaLupo will have a casual urban vibe with a sophisticated feed. The small dining room will be built around an open kitchen with elevated stools at the Pasta Bar as the focal point of the restaurant. The remaining seats will be at tables and a banquette facing the Pasta Bar. The décor will be a modest blend with soulful charm."
We will keep you posted at further details develop about menu, opening date and location, but we can't wait to belly up to this chef-driven, homemade Italian noodle bar by one of Atlanta's gutsiest local chefs.

> -----Original Message----- > From: Todd Fahrner [mailto:email@example.com] ... > * Don't use points or other absolute length units for the > screen media type. ... > * Avoid using pixels when practical. ... > * Do use ems IF you are: ... My comment relating to this aspect is as follows. Note that some CSS specification changes are implied. The px unit should *never* be used with text (and preferably not be used at all). There is no way of telling how big or small the text glyphs will be, not now nor in the future. Instead use physical units and well-defined font relative units (not any font relative units that are only vaguely defined!; see other discussions on this list). This together with a global (i.e. top level UI) zoom value gives a particular size on a (desktop) screen and on paper. The initial default (desktop) screen zoom should be about 130% (a value that should be specified by CSS), but should also be user settable. For instance, someone who finds significantly larger text necessary for legibility could set a global zoom of, say, 200%. Any zoom value between 100% (where given and calculated lengths correspond closely to actual length on a given desktop screen) and 300% (giving displayed lengths that are three times larger, on a given desktop screen, than the specified lengths) should be storable as an individual preference. The default global zoom for printout should be 100%, but again, some people may prefer a larger zoom to get the printed text legible. For "public address" screens the default nominal zoom can still be 130%, given that the actual size and hence actual zoom may be unknown. The "public address" screen content should still probably be in synch with what is shown on a desktop screen. The zoom value would impy a zoom not only on font stuff, but also on images, vector graphics, etc. I think this is a more intuitive and reliable approach then deferring to the CSS cascade and hope for the use of percentages, ems, or other relative sizing (which is still useful; but not sufficiently reliable for a zoom effect).

1. Introduction
2. What Makes GOBASE Unique ?
3. Data Sources
4. Usage and Search Capabilities
5. Software Implementation
6. History
7. Future Development
8. Journal references
GOBASE collects biological information from a number of sources world-wide and contains nucleotide and related protein sequences, genetic and physical maps, RNA secondary structures, biochemical and organismal information for mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes, among other important biological data (See Fig. 1.1 below).
Organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) are of interest for many reasons:
The most important advantage to genomics offered by organelles is the number of completely sequenced genomes already available and currently being sequenced (e.g., by the Canadian Organelle Genome Megasequencing Program (OGMP) and Fungal Mitochondrial Genome Project (FMGP)). Organelle genomes are information-rich, typically coding for 12-200 proteins, tRNAs and rRNAs. They are ideal for comparative genomic studies because the dataset of organelle genomes is large enough to allow meaningful comparative genome analysis in ways that are only beginning to become possible for smaller nuclear genomes. GOBASE currently contains ~4900 complete organelle genomes. The ability to examine a large number of genomes of the same type permits investigation of genome evolution and identification of complex gene rearrangements and their roles in evolutionary divergence and speciation.
Why an Organelle Genome Database?
The body of currently available organelle data is dispersed among a number of sources, difficult to access or sometimes even to locate. In addition, cross-referencing biological information is complex and is rarely done. For example, given a GenBank record containing a ribosomal RNA sequence, there is no effective way to retrieve the corresponding secondary structures from another database without carrying out a separate search, and performing cross-genome comparisons is even more difficult. The available data sets are often incomplete or contain errors that are sometimes hard to identify and rectify with the underlying data structure. GOBASE provides a solution to these problems by offering a central, comprehensive, well-validated, relational database, so that researchers can access all the relevant information associated with organelles.
GOBASE was created to address questions in the following areas of biology:
The volume of organelle data now available is too large to allow for expert visual investigation of each individual record. We are therefore engaged in the ongoing development of a suite of programs in Perl and SQL to retrieve data from GenBank, standardise gene and product names, and populate GOBASE records automatically so far as that is possible, requiring human intervention only for cases when the appropriate annotations cannot be unambiguously assigned by automated means.
Data accuracy
Although each record submitted to NCBI receives a rigorous and systematic check to ensure accuracy, due to the very high volume of data that needs to be processed, errors and inconsistency inevitably remain in the database. The most commonly found errors include incorrectly assigned biological features, gene and product names, and overlapping open-reading frames (ORFs). These errors and inconsistencies often cause a large number of false positives or completely irrelevant records to appear in the search results. At GOBASE, we have implemented extended, semi-automated validation procedures to reduce the number of false positives. These procedures are designed to correct:
Records presenting problems to the automated validation procedures are presented on a correction web page for expert verification for inspection and modification as necessary.
The taxonomic information contained within GOBASE represents an exact duplication of NCBI's taxonomic tree. This dataset has certain internal inconsistencies of nomenclature owing to different practices among taxonomists working in different areas of biology - for example, taxonomic ranks between "order" and "family" may be assigned to any or all of "suborder", "infraorder", "parvorder" or "superfamily", and many such taxa do not have a rank associated with them. We maintain the tree structure exactly, but we have made no attempts to assign rankings to any taxon where NCBI have not done so.
Classification scheme
Organelle sequence records are extracted from GenBank and divided into 9 fundamental categories (SEQUENCE, GENE, PROTEIN, RNA, EXON, INTRON, GENE/PRODUCT CLASS, MAP, TAXONOMY). We have not adopted the classification scheme of the International Sequence Database Consortium (NCBI, EMBL, DDBJ) as it does not rank high-level biological features (such as coding regions) and low-level features (such as repeat elements) distinctly enough for our needs. Our additional specialised classes of features, designed specifically with organelle genomic data in mind, allow much more focused and sophisticated biological queries. This substantially increases the reliability and accuracy of searches and allows users to distinguish closely related records that are unresolvable using more general definitions.
Data integration
Organelle research draws substantially on biochemical, physiological, ecological, taxonomic, genetic and other types of information. Although comprehensive data repositories for general biochemical information (such as enzymatic pathways) exist, other biological data pertinent to organelles (e.g. the composition of particular respiratory enzyme complexes, the ultrastructure of ciliate mitochondria) are widely dispersed over various sources. In order to provide a central location for quick and easy access to a large variety of relevant data, the following types of data have been integrated and cross-referenced in GOBASE:

Update procedure
The procedure for generating a new release of GOBASE is as follows:
Most of the scripts currently used in the population process are written in Perl, while the expert verification interface is implemented in Java. The database and associated scripts are in the process of a redesign which it is hoped will allow for more efficient and frequent GOBASE updates in future.
The second release (10 Jun 1997) of GOBASE was a fully functional research tool for gene and genome research. Errors in the original records had been corrected and many design issues had been resolved.
GOBASE release 3 (Jan 1998) implemented use of gene name synonyms, gene order information and links to tRNA databases, and added stored secondary structures for RNAse P and 5S ribosomal RNAs.
The fourth release of GOBASE had no major changes in function or appearance.
GOBASE release 5 (Jan 2001) was the first to contain data for chloroplasts, and implemented access to this information in an interface separate from the mitochondrial database.
GOBASE release 6 (Summer 2002) contained information downloaded from GenBank on March 26, 2002, and contained roughly 35% more sequence data than the previous release.
GOBASE release 7 (January 2003) is the first release to be based on PostgreSQL rather than Sybase, which has proved faster and more powerful than the previous implementation, and much easier to maintain. It also includes a redesigned user interface implemented in PHP3 which addresses many of the shortcomings of the previous interface; it is more powerful, more flexible and looks better.
GOBASE release 8 (June 2003) has had many further enhancements to the interface, most notably a restored taxonomic search page which uses a new data architecture to allow for very much faster searches, and a new RNA structure page.
Release 8.1 (October 2003) combined the chloroplast and mitochondrial datasets into a single database accessible through a single interface, to which further enhancements have been made.
GOBASE release 9 (February 2004) combines some additional modification to the interface, such as the ability to retrieve flanking residues for a sequence, and further optimisation of the taxonomy queries, with data updates such as the addition of new RNA structure data, much expert correction of older mitochondrial data and the addition of 95,000 mitochondrial sequences.
GOBASE release 10 (summer 2004) includes a restored RNA interface with access to approximately 57,000 tRNA sequences, some from GenBank and some identified locally; the marking of deduced features, such as the introns implied by exons in a GenBank entry but not specifically marked in that entry; the addition of a Gene Distribution page showing the presence of genes in various functional classes across the taxonomic range of mitochondrial genomes contained within GOBASE; and the addition of just under 50,000 new mitochondrial sequences.
GOBASE release 11 (December 2004) contains the first bacterial sequence to be included in GOBASE, a genome of Rickettsia prowazekii. Also new in release 11 are 83,000 chloroplast seguences, bringing the chloroplast part of the database up to date; the addition of information from the Gene Ontology Consortium to the Genes and Products interface, providing a new means by which to sort and order the contents of GOBASE; and the marking of type examples from heavily sampled genes, so that large quantities of data from projects focusing on one gene in one species can be compensated for.
GOBASE release 12 (May 2005) includes a full re-annotation of the Rickettsia prowazekii genome sequence. 62,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 5700 chloroplast sequences have been added to the database, and the interface has been redesigned for internal consistency and clarity. Graphics have been added depicting gene structures and also the position and context of genes on sequences, and the documentation of the database has been updated and reorganised for ease of use.
GOBASE release 13 (September 2005) included nearly 10,000 new bacterial genes derived from genome sequences of Escherichia coli strain K12 and Nostoc sp. PCC 7120, and also 59,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 9500 new chloroplast sequences. Also, an internal intron numbering format was applied, including sub-numbers for sections of the same introns occurring on different sequences, to allow for consistent automatic representation of trans-spliced genes.
GOBASE release 14 (December 2005) included new RNA structures, to a total of 110, now available through the RNA page as well as the RNAStructure page; 49 intron structures available through the introns page; the addition of an initial dataset of RNA substitution editing information with a corresponding interface page; and some other interface enhancements, such as the addition of author search functionality to the sequence page, and Gene Ontology search terms to the Gene page.
GOBASE release 15 (April 2006) included a comprehensive reannotation of the 4000 Escherichia coli genes contained in GOBASE, an expanded RNA editing dataset covering about 4700 positions in 360 genes, and the processing of 70,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 20,000 new chloroplast sequences.
GOBASE release 16 (September 2006) included a comprehensive reannotation of the 5400 Nostoc genes contained in the database, and the addition of 98 new intron stuctures, accessible through the intron page. 90,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 17,000 new chloroplast sequences were added in this release.
GOBASE release 17 (December 2006) included 66,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 13,000 new chloroplast sequences.
GOBASE release 18 (April 2007) included 80,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 29,000 new chloroplast sequences. New features in this release include an updated database architecture to handle trans-splicing genes, which are now represented accurately in the gene structure diagrams, and the addition of more detailed literature reference information for each sequence including links to PubMed where they exist. Updated Gene Ontology identifiers have been added to all bacterial sequences.
GOBASE release 19 (September 2007) included an updated RNA editing interface and new editing data including insertion/deletion edits, and modified sequence download functionality to allow a choice between genomic and CDS downloads where appropriate. This release also included 68,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 20,000 new chloroplast sequences, taking the total number of sequences in GOBASE over 1,000,000.
GOBASE release 20 (December 2007) included a prototype human-specific sequence search page, allowing users to search complete human mitochondrial DNA sequences by haplotype or disease state, and showing point mutations on each sequence in an alignment with NCBI's reference human mitochondrial sequence. This release also included 55,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 16,000 new chloroplast sequences.
GOBASE release 21 (June 2008) included a prototype human-specific mutation page, allowing users to select a particular gene or region on the human mitochondrial genome sequence and retrieve information about point mutations contained in that gene or region. This release also included 83,000 new mitochondrial sequences.
GOBASE release 22 (November 2008) included an additional set of human mutation data derived from OMIM, including ~120 mutation sites in tRNA genes. This release also includes 142,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 20,000 new chloroplast sequences.
GOBASE release 23 (April 2009) includes selection of single reference whole-genome sequences for each species from which we have complete mitochondrial or chloroplast data. This release also includes 42,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 39,000 new chloroplast sequences.
GOBASE release 24 (October 2009) includes a link to a database of all complete organelle genome sequences in GenBan.k updated daily; these sequences are presented exactly as in GenBank, without GOBASE validation procedures, as a complementary resource to the GOBASE database. This release also includes 82,000 new mitochondrial sequences and 52,000 new chloroplast sequences.
The bacterial data currently included in GOBASE represent the first of many bacterial genomes which we plan to include and functionally annotate, to provide a basis for evolutionary comparisons with the existing organelle datasets.
Orfs are named according to the number of amino acids in the deduced protein sequence. Therefore, identical orf names do not reflect similarity or homology. For example orf172 of liverwort is not a homolog of orf172 of Cyanidium caldarium, whereas it is a counterpart of orf234 of Prototheca. GOBASE will eventually address this problem by implementing the ymf or ycf nomenclature proposed by the CPGN (Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, Vol.12, No.2).
We are currently collaborating with scientists at NCBI to establish a database based on the content of GOBASE as an auxiliary to GenBank. This database will focus on the additional data that expert curation at GOBASE has generated, notably the curated gene and product names and synonyms and RNA secondary structure data, thus providing a permanent repository for two decades of curation of organelle genome data.

Katy Perry says she has taken up an expensive new hobby since her February breakup with John Mayer.
The 29-year-old singer spoke to E! News at the Museum of Contemporary Art's 35th Anniversary Gala, and said that Beverly Hills gallerist Marc Selwyn is helping to foster her newfound passion.
"I'm going to slowly become an art collector," Perry revealed.
"What I'm really drawn to is modern contemporary art and pop art, of course," the singer elaborated. "Also some key photography. I've always loved Cindy Sherman and today I got interested in Lee Friedlander."
"This is all brand new," Perry admitted. "I'm really interested in having an art history education."
The star said her new hobby is just one example of her out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new mindset.
"I'm challenging myself again," the singer said. "Pushing my limits as I do, as a Scorpion does."
Perry also said that she plans to dye her hair "slime green." The singer will embark on a new, seven-month tour, the Prismatic World Tour, on May 7.
"I'm very excited because I believe this is my best work yet as far as live performance," Perry said with enthusiasm. "It's going to be just as colorful and fun as before... [but] grown up. It's more mature."

Self-regulation. What is it? Why is it important for student success? What is needed in order to support the development of self-regulatory skills within oneself?
Self-regulation is defined as regulation of the self, by the self. It monitors conditions to maintain optimal arousal for a given task. A lack of the regulatory forces that govern our organization and behaviour can have detrimental effects on a child's academic and socio-emotional success.
There are a broad range of mental and physical problems that are not caused by difficulties with self-regulation, but are often accompanied by it. Self-regulatory skills are typically not seen in isolation. According to Dr. Stuart Shanker, author of Calm, Alert and Learning, there is a high comorbidity for self-regulatory deficits to occur with Autism, ADHD and high anxiety, to name a few.
It is critical to accommodate students with complex profiles because these children are at greater risk. Teachers can help improve self-regulation in students by modelling and scaffolding good self-awareness and self-regulatory skills, by making their environment more conducive to self-regulating behaviours and by providing a stable and predictable routine.
Like motivation, self-regulation is not always automatic or internalized by individuals, particularly young children or those with Executive functioning disorders. For a student who lacks internal motivation we may provide stickers or a token economy to externally motivate, with hopes that these are only part of the scaffolding that will eventually lead them to become internally motivated. It is the modelling and scaffolding that is the structure of this support.
For students lacking self-regulation skills, we can use externally organized environments, routines and strategies to assist them in finding their own self-awareness…, self-monitoring… and ultimately… self-regulation.
Mindfulness or self-monitoring of arousal level is paramount in determining if there needs to be up- or down-regulation in order to match the task with the appropriate state of arousal. Students need to be aware of their arousal level before they are able to regulate it. Adults can facilitate the process externally until the awareness and regulation is internalized. Child-friendly strategies like use of meditation and purposeful, calming movement are a few ways for a child to attain mindfulness.
A person's environment is a very important aspect of their education. Everyone benefits from purposeful changes in the physical setup of a classroom. Children who are easily overwhelmed by auditory or visual stimuli, benefit from a environmental makeover in the classroom to provide external help with self-regulation.
The third teacher, the environment, should be utilized to assist students in regulating themselves.
Addressing the arousal level of the students through use of a calming environment, such as that expressed by the teachings of Reggio Emilia, is essential in order to provide students with different strategies to up or down regulate themselves. This approach involves a calm atmosphere, interaction with the environment, communication with others, and self-constructed learning.
The Reggio Emilia teachings provide an ideal environment to foster self-awareness and monitoring.
Research in this area finds that children concentrate better with a reduced number of visual distractors. Use of fidget toys, neutral colours around the room and secluded areas for breaks are some examples that one may consider to support the development of self-regulation skills.
Auditory stimuli are by far the most powerful of all distractors. Strategies that can be employed to help decrease anxiety and provide predictability include… chimes instead of bells, use of visual timers, and the use of songs, drum beats or other soothing sounds to signal transitions within the classroom.
Visual supports such as schedules provide students with predictability within their classroom environment. Once students have an established schedule that they are comfortable in following, they are aware of what is next in their routine. This predictability in routine allows children to up- or down-regulate in preparation for upcoming activity. This strategy fosters a sense of self-awareness.
When the external organization system is strong, the strategies will be transferred and generalized to high school, post-secondary education and beyond to the work place. For students to be properly regulated for learning, our goal as educators is to reduce the demands on the sensory system. This includes satisfying the needs for certain types of sensory stimulation while helping to avoid others. Optimal self-regulation is achieved when one is calm and focused.
Given the current realities of the significant increase in student needs in our schools, it is imperative that parents, staff and community partners learn, model and teach self-regulatory behaviours in order to improve the success of all children. Dr. Stuart Shanker states, "the better we understand self-regulation, the better we can implement educational strategies that enhance
students' capacity to learn and develop the skills necessary to deal with life's challenges."

HTML Character Entities Cheat Sheet
June 14th, 2006
The HTML Character Entities cheat sheet is designed to act as a reference sheet, listing the various character codes in HTML.
In keeping with the other cheat sheets, here's a thumbnail of the cheat sheet and brief description. It's really pretty simple, this one. There are four columns. Each of those columns is further divided into three. On the left is the actual code for the character. In the middle, the character itself, and on the right, the description of the character. And that's it!
The more astute of you may spot that the list appears to miss out numbers. Some characters are unassigned in HTML, or assigned specific values that do not translate to characters (for example, tabs and line feeds). For this reason, they are omitted.

Instead of giving my daughter store bought processed snacks, I have chosen a healthier route by making her snacks. Pinterest is my go-to for finding unique snack ideas, but I also take into consideration what my little one likes to eat and create healthier alternatives for particular foods. For example, my daughter is big fan of frozen treats so I found different ways to take advantage of this, while sneaking some extra fruit into her diet. She is eating a healthy homemade snack option that both satisfies her taste buds and helps me provide essential vitamins and nutrients for my baby girl.
My goal for the summer is to encourage my daughter to eat more fruits and vegetables, so I want to share eight snack recipes that are enjoyable and healthy for our little ones to eat.
1. Peanut Butter and Apples: This classic snack can be jazzed up by adding raisins and/or granola.
2. Fruit Kabobs: You can mix and match your child's favorite fruits with this simple snack
3. Grilled Cheese Roll Ups: Revamp the regular grill cheese sandwich for a fun roll up.
4. Carrots and Celery: A simple but healthy snack, you could even add a dipping sauce of the side.
5. Frozen Banana Pops: This snack is a good alternative for popsicles. You can dip your banana bites in dark chocolate to add a little sweetness.
6. Celery with Peanut Butter and Raisins: An after-school favorite "Ants on a Log" can be a fun snack to make with your children.
7. Cheese and Crackers: Another simple snack but a healthier option instead of a Lunchable.
8. Frozen Yogurt Dots: This is a great snack to beat the heat and fun for kids to help make and eat.
Please enjoy and share these amazing snacks and don't forget to follow my Pinterest Board for more ideas.

Majis has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Oman International Petrochemical Industry Company (OIPIC) to provide 3,500 cubic metres of industrial water per day to its upcoming chemical plant at Sohar
The project is expected to be operational by the end of 2016. Majis currently provides water utility services to the residents at Sohar Industrial Port Area (SIPA).
Rahma Bint Hamed Al Musharfafi, CEO of Majis, said, "Majis will build a new reverse osmosis based desalination plant at SIPA for the purpose."
Majis also owns and operates a pumping station that feeds seawater for desalination to produce industrial water.
OIPIC is a joint venture company currently under formation which will be owned 50 per cent by Oman Oil Company, 20 per cent by Takamul Investment Company and 30 per cent by Kora's LG.
The project will be completed in two phases to produce a total of 1.1mn tonnes of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and 500,000 tonnes of poly ethylene terephthalate (PET) per annum.

Discovered new walkera 5G6Siverlit PicooZPosted by xilsoe Aug 05, 2007 13:01:13
Looking at one og the forums I discovered Walkera had made a new version of the walkrea 5#6 called 5G6 It seems to basicaly the same heicopter with a few design changes. Link to 5G6 on the walkera homepage: http://www.walkera.com/en1/particular.jsp?pn=Z25G60103
It seems to weight 57g whereas the 5#6 only weights 55g. This probably isn't too bad but 2g is after all almost 4% weight increase.

The Alaska Plant Materials Center (PMC) will host its annual sale of foundation and selected classes of native grass, grain, and flower (forb) seeds beginning on April 13 and continuing through the production season that is expected to close in September.
This annual sale enables Alaska growers to produce and sell certified seed to farmers, landscape companies, revegetation contractors, and construction companies. On April 12 a list of available seed lots – including quantities, varieties, and prices – will be posted on the Division of Agriculture and PMC web pages at http://dnr.alaska.gov/ag/ and www.plants.alaska.gov.
During the sale, demand for seed can exceed the supply. If this occurs, an allocation committee will determine distribution amounts. The committee consists of the Division of Agriculture director and representatives from the University of Alaska-Fairbanks' Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, the Alaska Seed Growers Association, and the PMC. Interested growers should review the available seed lists and place their orders by contacting Peter Johnson at 745-8105 or [email protected], or by faxing the seed order to 745-1568. Purchasers will be notified when orders are completed. Payment and pick up is expected within two weeks of notification. Orders can be picked up at the PMC, located at 5310 S.

Do you deliver presentations for your business?
When you are preparing those presentations, do you recreate a PowerPoint every time?
The other day I realized that I have been using a time saving trick for years and have never shared it here.
This technique has allowed me to prepare for an event very easily. Since a 1/3 of my business is speaking (keynotes, workshops, etc.) it is important that I can be effective with my prep time!
Create a Master Speaking Presentation File
Rather than having separate presentation files for each talk that you deliver, consider creating a master file.
I have one master Power Point file that contains every slide I have ever created for various programs. (I also include the slides that I have used to create YouTube videos.) I keep the formatting/branding consistent so that they all visually go together easily.
Then, when it is time for me to prep for an event, I
- go to my master file,
- click save as to a new file,
- delete all slides that don't relate to the particular talk I'm giving
- save.
This technique allows me to give custom presentations without the wasted time and effort of pulling stuff together every time. It is especially helpful for me when I'm giving a 60 minute talk and I want to pull from my 2 day workshops. I just strip out most of the detail and boom, I'm done.
Sequence Your Master Speaking File
I shared this technique the other day on my Facebook page. (You have liked my facebook page right?!) Shortly after Des Gray MindWorks said
"hey Steph… great tip, I'm doing same wherever possible… have also divided "different messages" up into sequences, so can then just pull out 'X number of sequences for X time'."
Excellent addition to the theme here Des! Grouping the slides together in a logical order is very helpful.
Note Each Slide Timing
If you want to get really slick with your master file, you could put a tiny number at the bottom left or right of your slide that indicates the time period it normally takes for you to cover the slide. This is a real super power productivity tip because then you know how long each series of slides will take you to deliver.
Do You Have Some Presentation Creation Tricks?
So, what do you think? Are you going to create your master file? Do you already use one? What other presentation time-saving tricks or strategy do you know? Please share! We all want to learn.

Hi, everyone and welcome! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper sharing a few ideas on how to use those Easter files throughout the Summer. Using Easter Elements and JGW Happy Easter (carrot) I created three simple cards that would be ideal for someone who loves to garden.
So using the carrot from the JGW Happy Easter - Upright Bunny Box I created this fun carrot themed card. The sentiment reads I CARROT believe I forgot, perfect for belated birthdays.
Using the tulip from the Easter Elements, I cut Canson XL Watercolor paper and inked with Distress Inks adding a sentiment that can be used for several occasions.
Using the Peeps Bunny from the Easter Elements it's easy to create various bunny themed cards, the sentiment reads, There's no bunny like you. There are also several "peep" sentiments that can be used throughout the year, too.
You can find all the details on my blog, The Relativity of Paper.
As always, thanks for joining us!
