Aroy Mak Mookata
Founded in 2013, Aroy Mak Mookata prides itself on their secret Chiang Rai recipe, marinated meats, non-MSG soup stock, and authentic homemade Thai chilli sauces, made with recipes handed down from the owner's family from the hometown of Chiang Rai. The restaurant serves authentic traditional Thai barbecues and steamboat, using non-stick coating and smokeless pots to reduce the use of pork lard to oil the pots. In order to up the ante on their steamboat game, Aro Mak Mookata uses a grill that directs the flow of released juice and oil from the grill into the broth, adding personalised layers of flavour.

Reviews of this property
We stayed for three days at Andreas place in late October. The place itself is unbelievable and fantastic: a huge roof terras in the middle of the city, in between central station and the historic island city of Ortiga, absolutely great. Of course this place shines at its best during summertime: enjoying the sun (and his wonderful cactus collection) and even being able to make a barbecue.
We had one wonderful day with perfect sun and one very rainy day (which can happen of course end of October) and were very satisfied with the place. Andrea himself also did everything to make our stay as good as possible.
Summing up: this is a fantastic place to stay and enjoy Siracusa at its very best.
Tres bonne experience .Le logement est tres agreable .Andrea s est rendu tres disponible .Le plus c est qu il met des velo a disposition
Sehr netter Kontakt! Andrea hat uns alles erklärt und gezeigt, hätten sogar deren Fahrräder benutzen können. Entfernung zur Altstadt wirklich nur ca. 800 Meter. Sehr sauber, nette Dachterrasse. Hatten nur eine Übernachtung, die war allerdings recht laut, wenn LKW's vorbeigeknattert sind. Es liegt halt an einer befahrenen Straße, aber das hat der Gastgeber auch direkt gesagt !

Featured Story
Leadership, service at forefront for Alumni Day award winners
Posted February 25, 2012; 02:52 p.m.
The themes of leadership and service were foregrounded in talks by the recipients of Princeton's top alumni award winners as part of a full day of events held across campus Saturday, Feb. 25, during the University's annual Alumni Day program. The day also featured presentations of top awards for students, along with lectures, workshops and family activities.
From left: Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman; FBI Director Mueller; Kathryn Hall, chair of the University's Board of Trustees; and EPA Administrator Jackson gather before the Alumni Day luncheon.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, a 1986 Princeton graduate alumna who received the top honor for graduate alumni, the James Madison Medal, and FBI Director Robert Mueller III, a 1966 Princeton graduate and this year's recipient of the highest undergraduate alumni honor, the Woodrow Wilson Award, presented morning lectures at Richardson Auditorium of Alexander Hall.
Later, Jackson and Mueller were honored at a luncheon in Jadwin Gymnasium with winners of the University's highest honors for undergraduate and graduate students.
During her lecture, titled "A Laboratory of One's Own," Jackson, who received a master's degree in chemical engineering from the University, began with a joke about a Princeton Commencement tradition. "I'm going to give this speech in Latin," she quipped, referring to the speech the student salutatorian always delivers in Latin. "Copies will be handed out in a second so we can all know when to applaud — many times."
Jackson spoke not only about her role as EPA administrator but also about the need for more women in science. "I don't believe the solution for women scientists is to acclimate themselves to a man's world. I believe women should make their own space in science," she said.
Joined by Dean of the Graduate School William Russel, Jackson responds to questions from the audience in Richardson Auditorium on the environment, women in science and work-life balance.
Noting that she originally had planned to pursue a medical career, she said she realized there were other ways to help people. "I was thinking about being a doctor because I wanted to help people by treating them when they got sick," Jackson said. "I came to realize that — if I studied chemical engineering and started to work to protect our environment — I could help people by making sure they didn't get sick in the first place.
"I believe that bringing more women into science will represent an important change in the culture of science," she said.
After her remarks, Jackson answered questions from the audience about how she could help change the thinking of those skeptical of climate change; global climate negotiations; the cleanup of New York's Hudson River; how she balances life and career; and what technological innovations she sees as the most valuable for the future.
"Coming here set the trajectory for my entire life," she said. "This university is where I had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in what became one of the greatest passions of my life — the exploration of science."
Mueller invites the audience to ask questions after giving a lecture about leadership, humility and service. "Don't hold back," he said.
Mueller's lecture, titled "Leadership, Humility and Service: The Princeton Tradition," focused on how the values and lessons he learned at Princeton have helped him as FBI director.
With humor, Mueller pointed out that when he graduated from Princeton with a bachelor's degree in politics, "man had yet to walk on the moon, a gallon of gas was worth only 32 cents, and Lisa Jackson was just learning to walk."
Mueller spoke of classmates he had at Princeton who taught him about the qualities he treasures most and the values that guide him in his current position.
"The world around us will continue to change, and the challenges we will face in the years to come will be significant," he said. "That is why the values instilled here at Princeton are more important than ever."
He spoke of a classmate, David Hackett, who enlisted and served in the Marine Corps and died in Vietnam.
"David was the embodiment of Princeton in the nation's service," Mueller said. "He taught us the true meaning of leadership. Leadership in times of adversity. Leadership through example. And indeed, leadership through service."
Mueller spoke of another classmate and public servant, the late Lee Rawls, who taught him, through humor and confidence, about humility. Rawls always had the right words to bring him down to earth, Mueller said. On one occasion, the FBI director asked his friend how he was doing.
"You're toast," Rawls said.
Mueller said it was the lessons learned at Princeton that led him to service, first in the Marines, then in the Department of Justice and now with the FBI.
"The value of teamwork, sacrifice, discipline and integrity" learned at Princeton, he said, "are life lessons I could not have learned in quite the same way elsewhere."
Members of the audience gather after Jackson's Madison Medal lecture during Alumni Day festivities.
Following his remarks, Mueller answered questions about allegations of entrapment by the FBI; how social networking has entered into the investigation process; the Patriot Act; women in the FBI and recruitment; wiretapping; his leadership style; balancing civil liberties, technology and morality; and how the FBI can keep up with technology and an increasingly technologically savvy youth.
"The 15 year old who can hack into anything?" Mueller said. "We want him working for us down the road."

In addition to award recipients Jackson and Mueller, top student award winners recognized at the Alumni Day luncheon were graduate students Richard Baliban, William Cavendish (who was unable to attend), William Deringer and Andrew Huddleston, who each won the Porter Ogden Jacobus Fellowship, Princeton's top honor for graduate students; and seniors Ann-Marie Elvin and James Valcourt, co-winners of the Moses Taylor Pyne Honor Prize, the highest general disctinction conferred on an undergraduate.
In addition, a daylong slate of activities for alumni, parents of current students and families took place in several campus locations. These included lectures by University faculty on topics such as immigration, French art, motorcycle design, AIDS in Africa, children's literature in the digital age, and the history of post-partisanship; a workshop on social media; a discussion led by Dean of Admission Janet Rapelye on "Navigating the College Admissions Process"; and a service of remembrance honoring deceased Princeton alumni, students, faculty and staff members.
Videos of Alumni Day lectures will be posted for later viewing on the University's Webmedia site.

EventLoop is hiring another person, who starts in one week. Expanding from two to three people is exciting! This week we are searching for new office space, since our current space gets a little cold at night when then turn off the heat. This is fine for insane business owners, but on the questionable side for building an actual staff of people.
We are looking for a contract right now doing Java, C, or C++ coding. It would be nice to work on something that is open source and visible, but I suspect that is unlikely. With the hiring of our new staff member, we will be consulting out security and general UNIX administration services as well.
Other things going on this week: ordering of new workstation, perhaps server hardware even, and revamping of website.
I received a gift of rats. Two of them, female. I named them 'grep' and 'awk'. I know, I know. But I have always wanted a reason to yell "awk, sed, grep!" in my apartment. Anyway, awk is the squeeky rat. These two rats are lovers, I'm sure of it. They are very happy. Grep is the dominate female. She steals the food and wakes up awk a lot, which I think is why awk is always squeeking.
I've been having people over on Sundays and that is fairly fun. I feel almost social at times. Maybe I should get back to coding, eh?
My foot is sore, so I'm using that as an excuse to skip the rest of ballroom dance club lessons. This usually happens when I join the BDC: I quit about three weeks into it. I think I need to find someone who engages me, and will patiently practice with me so I'm prepared when I get the chance to dance in public.

News Release
Council Roundup: Nearing decision on light rail agreement
Also, more online permitting and possible state funding cuts
The City Council on Monday held one last public hearing to take comments on a long-term, East Link light rail agreement with Sound Transit. The council is scheduled to vote on the landmark agreement at its next meeting on Nov. 14.
Forty-nine people spoke during the hearing on the proposed memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Sound Transit. It was part of an extensive public outreach effort in recent weeks to encourage residents and others to weigh in on a blueprint to bring light rail to Bellevue.
On Sept. 26, some 62 people commented during a public hearing, and on Sept. 20, more than 200 people attended an open house at City Hall, where alignment options were displayed and attendees offered feedback.
The flurry of meetings is the culmination of years of public involvement and studies on East Link -- by both Bellevue and Sound Transit -- since a draft environmental impact statement was issued nearly three years ago, in December 2008.
Among other points, the MOU spells out how the city will make up to $160 million worth of contributions -- such as properties, utility relocations or easements -- toward the cost of a downtown light rail tunnel. The council unanimously supports a tunnel, but it's significantly more expensive than a street-level alternative.
Also addressed in the MOU are issues such as permitting, how Bellevue and Sound Transit will collaborate on light rail design, and how the light rail route would run through Bellevue, particularly between Interstate 90 and downtown.
Councilmembers and residents who live near the proposed light rail route have expressed deep concern about traffic, noise, vibration and visual impacts from light rail. Last week, the council endorsed an alignment that includes an elevated crossing over 112th Avenue Southeast, near Southeast 15th Street, then runs in a trench along 112th Avenue north to a downtown tunnel.
Also written into the MOU are "off-ramp" provisions that allow both parties to terminate the agreement for a variety of reasons.
During a study session prior to the public hearing, the council again studied staff analysis on how to pay Bellevue's share of the tunnel contribution. Funding options include eliminating or delaying projects from the current capital plan, dedicating part of future revenues with no change in current tax rates, raising new revenue through a property tax or business tax increase, or a combination of options.
Sound Transit's Board of Directors has already authorized its chief executive officer to sign the MOU, barring significant changes, so the council's decision on Monday will determine where and how East Link will be located in Bellevue. The council will also vote on a separate transit way agreement.
East Link is set to run from Seattle, through Bellevue, to the Overlake area of Redmond. Construction is forecast to begin by 2015 and service is expected to start by 2023.
For more information about options to fund the city's East Link contribution in the MOU, see the council agenda materials at http://www.bellevuewa.gov/pdf/City%20Council/PacketStudySession11-7-112a.pdf. Bellevue and Light Rail offers detailed information about the project.
Feedback: Bernard Van de Kamp, Regional Projects Manager, 425-452-6459 or firstname.lastname@example.com
More online permittingStaff from the Development Services Department reported that the city has expanded its online permitting, enabling contractors and residents to submit plans for mechanical, plumbing and electrical permits electronically.
Calling the October launch of online plan review a "major milestone," Development Services Director Mike Brennan noted that it saves permit applicants time and money, since they no longer have to come to City Hall with rolls of oversized paper documents.
The city aims to provide online plan review for building, fire, right of way, utilities and land use permits by the end of 2012. Through the e-CityGov Alliance, which operates a variety of regional service portals, the city has been issuing "simple" permits, which require no staff review, online at Mybuildingpermit.com.
More than a third of all construction-related permits in Bellevue are now processed electronically; 73 percent of simple permits in Bellevue are now issued that way.
In September the site was redesigned to allow for mechanical, electrical and plumbing applications that require review by city staff. Such permits include those for installation of systems, such as heating and air conditioning in new construction.
Feedback: Magen Michaud, Development Services Business Systems Manager, 425-452-7109 or email@example.com
City could lose millions from proposed state cutsGov. Chris Gregoire is considering cutting cities' share of liquor revenue and excise tax, which would eliminate $4.4 million from Bellevue's budget over the next three years.
The governor may also cut an annexation sales tax credit, which would provide $1.1 million annually for services delivered to South Bellevue neighborhoods petitioning for annexation. If those unincorporated areas are annexed next year, the proposed cuts would affect the city in 2013 and 2014.
A Nov. 2 letter signed by 115 mayors, including Bellevue Mayor Don Davidson, protested the proposed cuts. "These deep cuts are intolerable," the Association of Washington Cities letter says.
Faced with a $2 billion shortfall for the 2011-12 state budget, Gov. Gregoire identified preliminary options for cuts on Oct. 27. She will present a formal supplementary budget proposal to the Legislature on Nov. 28.

- Description
This photograph was made in the April 2012 just after I hosted my annual Prairie Fire Photography Workshop. I had visited this location with my workshop group several days before and the wind was unusually still. So I thought I would return with the Gigapan on my way home, but by then the wind had picked up significantly in intensity. With the low evening light, and the force of the wind I had to shoot at a high ISO and a lower zoom level then I wanted to in order to keep the images sharp. When I returned to the car the wind blocked side was covered in mosquitos clinging to the cool metal.

Ask A Scientist
Why do warm things get cold and cold things get warm when left out?
Asked by: Adam Striley
School: Owego Apalachin Middle School
Grade: 6
Answer from Stanley N. Salthe
Visiting scientist, Binghamton University
Research Area: Natural philosophy
Interests/hobbies: Woodland gardening, nature walks, all of the arts
Ph D: Columbia University
Family: Wife Barbara, two children Becky and Eric
We find that 'warm things get cooler and cold things get warmer.' Things do not naturally go from one extreme to the other. For example, if you added ice cubes to a chamber cup of boiled water, after a while everything in the chamber would be the same temperature. Nature eliminates extremes. Yet extremes are around us all the time! This is so because energy heats places up. The sun heats up what it shines on because its light is radiant energy. Rain is cool because water vapor in the air was cooled by losing heat to adjacent colder air. As the vapor gets cool enough, water droplets precipitate from it, forming rain. Warm and cool air are brought into contact by motions of air masses driven by energy flows between warmer and cooler regions. All activity, from winds and storms to plants and animals is powered by energy flows. If temperature was uniform all over the earth, nothing could happen. The spinning of the earth prevents this, so that some locations cool off while sunlight heats others.
When warm things cool off, they lose energy, which gets dissipated. But heat is only one kind of energy gradient. There is also energy holding matter together, in chemical bonds. So any material thing, including you, is an energy gradient. Energy gradients of importance to us are foods and fuels. We and our machines use these to power our activities. Foods represent renewable energy for us because they can be produced in farms and ranches. Fuels like coal, oil and gas are non-renewable. Solar energy and energies in winds and tides might be able to become renewable energies for our machines if we could develop technology to where it takes less energy to harness these energies than the amount we obtain from them.
All energy gradients will spontaneously get dissipated, as when hot things cool. They can be maintained only by adding energy to them. When you eat, you are supplying your body with energy for growth and maintenance. You might ask 'Why do all energy gradients tend to dissipate?' This is a profound question. It seems to be because our universe is very far from thermodynamic equilibrium, a condition where all matter would be divided into separate atoms scattered uniformly throughout. That's the state the universe is tending to reach, and energy dissipation serves that tendency.

Treating others pain
When asked why pain interests her so much, she sais "For my second postdoc, I changed from the clinical pharmacokinetics, bioanalysis and drug metabolism field to the field of pain management. This field is of high importance to me because population surveys in many countries show that approximately 20 percent of people suffer from chronic pain. Additionally, on average only 30 percent of patients achieve at least 30 percent pain relief from currently available medications with tolerable side-effects. Hence, there is a very large unmet medical need that is driving research directed at producing a new generation of highly effective and well-tolerated analgesic agents to improve patient quality of life."
Despite a large collective global research effort over the past two decades on the pathobiology of chronic pain and on drug discovery programs in the pain therapeutics field, very few new analgesic drugs have reached the market. As many compounds have failed phase II clinical trials on efficacy grounds, this highlights the need for research to improve the ability of 'preclinical pain models' to identify molecules that will be analgesic when progressed to clinical trials in patients with chronic pain. Addressing this hurdle is a major area of research focus in Professor Smith's Center at UQ.
QRxPharma and Spinifex are commercializing pain medicine based on Professor Smith's work. QRx Pharma has completed phase III clinical trials of MoxDuo for improved treatment of moderate to severe acute pain such as that which occurs post-operatively, and filed a New Drug Application with the United States FDA. The company hopes to receive notification of approval in mid-2013.
In August 2012, Spinifex Pharmaceuticals announced successful results of a phase IIa clinical trial of EMA401, a first-in-class, orally active, new pain therapeutic for the treatment of neuropathic pain. This clinical trial was a multi-center, randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled design undertaken in 180 patients with post-herpetic neuralgia, a type of neuropathic pain that is notoriously difficult to treat. Patients were randomly assigned to either EMA401 (100 mg twice daily) or placebo treatment for four weeks. Patients on active treatment achieved clinically significant pain relief above placebo and EMA401 was well-tolerated.
Challenges she faces
Professor Smith feels that there are two major challenges that stand out. One is the on-going challenge of being a member of the small minority group of female professors in universities, a situation that has not improved in two decades. To address this challenge, Professor Smith believes that it will require affirmative action to be implemented for at least a decade. Another challenge for her is to secure investment for undertaking "killer experiments". "I addressed this in the late 1990's by securing angel investment for my IP that is currently being commercialized by QRxPharma. In the case of my IP being commercialized by Spinifex Pharmaceuticals, funding for the early "killer experiments" was secured by UniQuest from Australian venture capital firms in 2005."

Having peruse the achievement of Prof. Smith, it further energize me that what I like to be is feasible. Thanks for this Information.

Only in a bad dream...
The Feds have ordered all national forests, refuges (Mississippi River) and any other state land including all VPA, WMAs and parks the state has received past federal funds. i.e. PR funds. According to news reports this morning they ordered WI to enforce the closures.
Fortunately the Governor told them to take a hike (my summary not his) there will be no closures and if the Feds ticket any WI hunter they will be charged with interfering with and harassing a hunter. Under the WI constitution we have a right to hunt amendment. Whew! that was a close one.
This afternoon in an act of civil disobedience that would make David Thoreau proud I will be launching my canoe around a closed and guarded Mississippi River landing. Hey Feds - Catch me if you can. As a matter of fact I'm going to be hunting on a lot of Federal land until this B.S. closure is done.

I really like the feel this perspective can give. I've played like this in the game, and while it's fun on a long straight-away, turning corners and keeping an eye out for other traffic can make it too hard to keep up. Perhaps the picture could be "squeezed in" on the sides, with mirrors for the blind spots. Is this even possible? If it is, I'd love to play the regular game this way (combined with first-person-shooter pedestrian mod).

Weekly Poll Results: Is Badr Hari the Best Heavyweight Kickboxer?
- Written by Dave Walsh
I'm pretty terrible at things that involve a high level of organization or repetition, like weekly polls and daily videos, apparently. Badr Hari's return has came and went, and the fight that was against Gregory Tony was nothing short of a mockery. Gregory Tony most likely did not belong in the ring with Badr Hari, and by all means Kader Marouf's influence of getting him that spot was felt.
Our weekly poll asked you if you felt that Badr Hari was the best. The results are in, and a good portion of you indeed believe that he is.
60% believe that he is. 24% think that he might not be there yet. 11.8% believe that he isn't and the rest feel that he is all hype. Fair enough.
Our new weekly poll is as follows:
Which Glory World Series Bout Are You Looking Forward to the Most? This just covers the kickboxing fights, sorry Siyar! So get to voting, the show happens on Saturday!
Gokhan Saki vs. Brice Guidon
Mark "Fightshark" Miller vs. Nikolaj Falin
Nieky Holzken vs. Arthur Kyshenko

CAN Events CalendarCategory: C.A.N. Events Calendar
Date: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 - All Day
Why Denim? In 1998, a teenage girl in Italy was raped by her driving instructor. The man was convicted, but his case went to the Supreme Court of Appeals in Rome. The court overturned the conviction, arguing that because the girl wore very tight jeans she must have had to help remove them, thereby giving consent to have sex. The case made international headlines, and the young woman's jeans became a symbol of awareness that what someone wears is never an excuse for rape.
It's easy to get involved:
- Sign up to participate (as an individual or as a group) and receive official Denim Day Stickers! Then make sure you get the official Denim Day Resource Kit - available to download or be mailed to you (please indicate your preference when you sign up).
- Follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Use our 30 days of social media posts (available in the Resource Kit) and share sexual assault myths and facts with your friends. Join us on Wednesday, April 18th for a Twitter Chat to learn more and share your ideas.
- Ask others to get involved. This is a great opportunity for businesses, social groups, neighborhoods and the faith community to raise awareness within their circles of influence.
- On April 25th, wear denim and your Denim Day sticker, take a photo of yourself and/or group and email it to us to share on Facebook and our website.
This would not be possible without your concern and commitment to helping end sexual violence in our community. Thank you!

Thanks for the heads up, I was already planning to bring it up, but now I'll make it a priority.
I'll see if I can get a better description of what to watch out for so know when to take reglan, and when I can avoid it.
Stomach emptying hasn't been a problem yet and the prescription specifically says I take "as needed." But, I'll see about taking it again tomorrow now that I'm feeling better.
I'm going to slow updates to this thread as recovery slows. Although it seems some still find the info useful.
Let me, and I'm sure all of us , know if you need anything . This community really comes through. Thx for the insight to my issues as well my friend.

So how are you doing? I never really said anything but after reading your experience I kept thinking if this could happen to you this could happen to me. I immediately started a diet, and I have lost almost 10 pounds since. I just kept thinking I'm slowly killing myself and taking time away from my family. Anyways, I hope you are doing well and getting the help you need.

I'm doing not too bad, but not good unfortunately.
First, it's great to hear that you've taken steps to improve your health. If you need more motivation, just remember it's not just your health, but your psyche and your finances that could be impacted by this. Like rittchard said, I can't just go out and enjoy some things, not just even food and drink, but activities without worrying about carb intake and insulin.
I've typed out a wall of text rundown, includes more than just my health, but all of it is still a kind of fallout from my hospitalization:
Physically, all my numbers are a little bad, many are under or over their limits, most not by large amounts, but some are. It's only been a month and I've had 10 years of bad behavior to undue, so while I worry, I'm not freaking out. This includes the numbers for kidneys, pancreas, cholesterol, overall blood sugar over time, and I'm even anemic now which they're looking in to. I've got all sorts of new things to watch out for in my diet, where one problem wants me to eat less meat, the other says to eat less carbs. At this point if I followed them all perfectly I'd be eating nothing but veggies, which isn't going to happen. I still feel stronger, which is why the numbers surprised me.
Financially, I was approved for medi-cal, which is California's low/no income health care. It seems like they're covering all my hospital bills, which I'm not too guilty about since I've been paying state taxes for a long time and sometimes large amounts before my financial collapse.
However, medi-cal is also being very strange. Two weeks after I get a call that says I'm approved and that the main hospital bills are covered, I get a letter saying my medi-cal was not approved and is cancelled. Then, while at the clinic I have them check my card for my status and it says I do have medi-cal, but that I'm on yellow status which means it could go either way. My case worker won't return any calls, but it seems like he's doing what he can since I keep getting rejection letters for various other forms of subsidized health care, but I can't talk to him to figure out how to get my status on more solid ground. The latest I hear is my case worker/contacts is now the "SSA" which I'm assuming is a social security administration or something. I do know that all my clinic visits, labs, and medications are still being covered, so should be fine.
Worse, the recent turmoil in the stock markets has pretty much wiped half of my already small savings away. Even this recent rally at the end of this week brought back nothing. I've had to move back in with my obsessive compulsive, passive aggressive Asian mother in the family home, alongside my autistic aunt, and my delirious grandfather. But, I guess this takes care of one issue with my medi-cal, where they said I had too much property in my name. Well, that's not true anymore.
Which leads me to mentally, I'm mostly okay. I control what and how much I eat pretty well, although the new restrictions have me a little worried. I always allow myself one splurge a week, although sometimes it's not even a splurge. For example, I had a full scoop of really good ice cream at a local fancy shop after dinner last week. I could do so because I had a small dinner with no carbs in it, and I just walked long distance afterwards to burn off any extra carbs. It wasn't even a blip on my blood sugar readings.
I also look great, and not in an unhealthy, just out of the hospital skinny/sickly, kind of way. I have a jawline and the beginnings of defined cheekbones. I've been controlling my eating so much, and walking every day, that I've maintained a safe weight loss level every week. If it weren't for now living with parents, still being pretty sick, and almost broke, I'd have started dating again.
I'm moving my important things back home this weekend, including my primary computer, which will finally let me get back to working on my projects again. I even tentatively lined up some paying contract sculpting work using the work from my projects in my portfolio. I'll be doubling down on that same work and my usual projects to get some extra portfolio pieces that I can, hopefully, use to land an industry job and get some decent medical insurance, as well as enough to move out again and restart my life. I've had to shelve the tabletop miniatures game project i think I previewed here a while back, but with some of the contacts I've made now, when my life is stable enough I'll be able to get the miniatures game out a lot more quickly and smoothly than I ever could before.
Focusing on the work is a relief since I love doing it, and it's also part of a goal to get me out of this house again before my family drives me crazy. The problem with working on my own private projects with others, is that I can't show much of the work to employers. So I'm focusing on new stuff not project related so I'll have a professional level portfolio, hopefully, in 6 months or less.
The latest blood results worry and scare me, but it's only 1 month out and I think if I stick to the controlled plan, exercise a bit more to replace some lost muscle mass. I'll manage all this like I manage my eating. I'll adapt.

Does anyone have any info on Zinger Dog crates? I'm looking for new travel crates-would like some opinions.
Does anyone have any info on Zinger Dog crates? I'm looking for new travel crates-would like some opinions.
They look good, but they are tall. I considered buying them then found some used Ainley crates. When I was looking they came "knocked down" and shipped in a box, you assemble it.
Check to see how tall they are, if you have a cab height truck topper and a drawer unit they may be too tall.

My uncle has a couple. They are solid and light weight. Cost a bunch but they are really nice.
We have two. They are solid, well built, well designed. Ours are fastened together for stability and ride in the back of a large Ford pickup with a tall topper. I like the locking doors. They are much bigger than any other crates I've seen. Maybe not quite as safe for the dogs in a wreck (more opportunity to roll around in such a large area) but it's nice for them when they have to spend all day in there, plenty of room to lay all the way over on their sides and sleep. Pricey though

I have had two for several years and I like them a lot. Purchased these when I had a dog that had torn up numerous plastic and wire crates. While he scratched up the finish and made some of the round holes "not so round" with his nails, he never got out of it. They are large and tall as previously stated but I think they have more than one size now. The lock is high quality. Also stated previously is that they come disassembled in a flat box but are relatively easy to assemble and once together I have never had to replace nuts or re-tighten. They are first rate, high quality and I would purchase them again.
I like mine. Not as high grade as the KustomKrates I had built-but it doesnt need to be- those were overkill! ... Only complaint is assembly by myself was tricky. I like it i powder coated and doesnt stain my yellow dog. I understand they are more pricy now than when I bought about two-three years ago.
I like it big- my big males fit comfortably in there----

The Giordana FormaRed Carbon Jacket is designed to get you through the heart of the bitter, cold winter. This is no spring jacket. The FormaRed Carbon keeps you warm in the coldest temperatures. Its design eliminates the typical bulk of traditional insulated jackets to maximize your freedom of movement and superior aerodynamics.
Giordana constructed the FormaRed Carbon jacket from the multi-layer Triguard fabric. Comprised of three layers, Triguard starts with a wind-resistant outer-layer. Both smooth and similar in texture to softshell, the outer-layer acts as a barrier between you and frigid winds. Situated between the inner-lining and shell is a WindTex membrane. While WindTex does aid in wind-protection, contrary to its name, the primary role of WindTex in Triguard is as a water repellent. The thin layer blocks seepage from the shell, keeping the skin dry without obstructing the transfer of vapor and sweat. Against the skin, Triguard uses a soft, polypropylene pile material called Dryarn to both insulate and wick away moisture. It works hand-in-hand with the cut in order to capture air above the skin. However, it draws perspiration out to the surface of the jacket in order to maintain a consistent internal temperature. Altogether, the material provides complete protection from the wind, water, and cold.
And while the fabrics of the FormaRed jacket are superb, the fit is what makes it Giordana. As Giordana puts it, the FormaRed is simple without being basic. It features a slim cut that guarantees ideal insulation. And to make certain that you have a full freedom of movement in or out of the saddle, the FormaRed uses a multi-panel, cycling specific construction. Further aiding the cut are the addition of stretch panels of WindTex along the ribs. Not only providing a malleable shape to the jacket, the stretch panels are also highly breathable and contribute to the jacket's thermo-regulation. The rear hem of the FormaRed has also been elongated to ensure protection from wheel-spray or rainfall when your're stretched over the hoods.
To keep everything in place, the FormaRed Carbon jacket has an elastic gripper along the waist. Giordana also included a full-length zipper that's been backed by a wind-resistant flap. The cuffs and collar use a doubled-over Super Roubaix fabric construction to ensure that no cold air infiltrates the internal insulation layer. Other accouterments include three rear pockets, a zippered stowaway compartment that's MP3 player compatible, and reflective elements throughout the jacket for extra visibility in low-light conditions.
The Giordana FormaRed Carbon Men's Jacket is available in the colors Black/black, Red/black, and White/black. It also comes in six sizes from Small to XXX-Large.
|Giordana Trade FormaRed Carbon Custom Jacket
|Giordana FormaRed Carbon Shorts
|Giordana FormaRed Carbon Jersey
|Giordana FormaRed Carbon Lightweight Jacket
I wore the jacket for the first time in 6 degree weather. It performed quite well keeping me warm yet managing vapor remarkably well. I was layered with only a lightweight long sleeve wicking base layer and a jersey. The jacket blocked all wind from getting through and was very comfortable to wear. I size in a Medium in most Girodana clothing and went with a large, which was perfect. It's a snug fit as designed, which seemed to help with moisture control. I couldn't justify the additional cost of the zero, I'm sure I would have been very happy riding in it, but if you want to save a couple bucks from either that or the Assos Fugu, this is a great option.
The jacket is for rides of 15 degrees and above, sizes run rrally small i ordered a large and usually wear a medium and is is way snug . Zips as a female jacket backwards.

Put perfect nail color on lock down. The Zoya Color Lock System surrounds polish with a protective barrier against moisture, bubbling, chipping and UV damage. This miniature kit, which comes in a super-cute, window box, has everything you need to perfect your polish and make it look better longer. There are just five easy steps to superior manicures and pedicures. This incredible value set is a perfect stocking stuffer, office gift or a personal treat.
The Mini-Cure kit includes mini (0.25oz) sizes of the following key components in the Zoya Color Lock System to make your manicures wear up to 10 days:
1 - 1 fl. oz Zoya Remove Plus Nail Polish Remover
1 - 0.25oz Zoya Anchor Base Coat
1 - 0.25oz Zoya Armor Top Coat
1 - 0.25oz Zoya Fast Drops Polish Drying Drops
Step 1: Thoroughly saturate a cotton ball or pad with Zoya Remove , firmly press pad to nail for a few seconds and wipe until existing polish is completely removed and nail bed is clean. Remove surface oils from clean nails and prepare nails for new color by wiping each nail with Zoya Remove .
Step 2: Apply one coat of Zoya Anchor or Get Even Base Coat to clean, prepped nails.
Step 3: Apply two thin coats of any Zoya Nail Polish shade.
Step 4: Apply one coat of Zoya Armor Top Coat over nail lacquer.
Step 5: Apply one drop to base of each nail, tilt hand and allow product to spread naturally. Polish will dry in just five minutes. To extend your color up to two weeks, apply over Zoya Armor Topcoat every two days.
Renew: To restore old bottles of polish that may have thickened over time, add 1-2 drops of Zoya Renew Nail Polish Rejuvenator to your old nail polish bottle. After closing bottle, roll it gently in in your hands for 30 seconds and let Renew do it's magic!
I love Zoya`s polishes and Color Lock system, but there is one huge flaw to it. I`ve used it the last two times I`ve done manicures on myself, and there is a ton of bubbling. I`m not sure what I`m doing wrong, but there is literally bubbling under the polish on every single finger. I did find online that someone tried thinning out the Anchor base coat and Armor topcoat, so I am going to try that with more time in between applying each layer next time, and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, I love the Remove , and the fast drying drops worked well, but I just did a manicure an hour and a half ago, and I can still dent the polish though it is dry to the touch. Again, it might just be because the topcoat is thicker than it should be, so I`ll have to try it again!
I haven`t done at-home pedicures in several years, but I saw this kit and thought I would give it a try. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised!!! The first pedicure I gave myself with the color lock system lasted so long that I decided to take the polish off to try out my other Zoya nail polish colors!!! Since I`ve been using the Color Lock System, I haven`t experienced a single chip, nor do my pedicures show any signs of wear (and I have been wearing lots of sandals this summer!)! I love this system, and really hope they don`t change it. I look forward to my spa night at home at least once a week!! Thank you, Zoya!!!
Now that I`m using "3-Free" polishes (Formaldehyde, Tolulene & DBP free), I find that you have to put in a bit more prep work to get a good, lasting mani. Thanks to ZOYA and their Color Lock System, it`s a breeze. Some may balk at the cost (currently $48 dollars) but it is WELL WORTH IT.
Zoya`s Remove is called 3 in 1 because it is a polish remover, nail cleaner and nail prep. If I don`t use this right before polishing, I do a good handwash. But most of the time, I`m removing one color anyway. This stuff ROCKS. Not only does it not stink like traditional removers, it actually smells nice! It`s also very gentle on my nails. And the huge bonus--their Flipper bottle is such a unique design--you twist the top cap, hold your cotton ball over the hole and gently pump. Twice soaks a large cotton ball--plenty to take off most polish jobs. If there`s lots of glitter, sometimes a bit more is needed. I haven`t figured out how to get enough out for a q-tip to clean up my nail edges without spraying my freshly-painted nails--but so far, no damage. Zoya does sell a large refill bottle. This definitely gets an A from me!
My next absolute favorite item is the Get Even Ridge Filler. Despite buffing I still have ridges. Between my age, my chronic illnesses and medications, I have ridges. But beyond filling, this is an amazing base coat. It`s a light milky white, so it doesn`t really affect any color you`re going to paint with. One quick coat on each nail is all I need. It dries so fast that by the time I`m done with my other hand, the first hand is nearly dry. I actually prefer this to the Armor Basecoat--I don`t know if the fibers really do help keep my polish strong, but I think it makes my nails stronger in general.
Finally, the Renew is excellent and does just what it says. I`ve gotten some polishes that despite some good shaking, really didn`t go on smoothly. I add a dropper of this stuff and WHAM good as new! A word of caution--even though the included dropper CAN screw on the bottle, I strongly advise you do NOT leave it on. My bottle must have tipped over or wound up evaporating. So--lesson learned, keep the original cap ON.
As for the Anchor and Armor, they are just fine. I have no complaints. I`ve just found that the Ridge Filler dries faster than Anchor, and sometimes I find the Armor "dulls" the shine of some of my glitters. In addition, since I love mattes, you can`t add a topcoat or it defeats the purpose of the matte finish.
All this comes in a handy bag with complete instructions on how to use each product. They are also sold separately, but of course it is cheaper to buy them as a set than one at a time.
Happy camper--happy nails!
Zoya is so dissapointing to me! I LOVE their nail polishes. I own about a dozen and they are easily the prettiest and most unique in my collection, but I just can`t find a good base/top coat combination for them. I`ve tried several and eventually decided that I should just get the color lock system. If you can ever get this to dry it might work quite well, but even with a very generous amount of the drying drops my nails, over two hours later, were still so wet that the polish smudged and pulled off when I hit hand against something (not even that hard). I just can`t wait over two hours for a polish to dry, it`s just not worth it. I wish I hadn`t wasted my money on all this beautiful polish I won`t be able to use. :( I`m glad it worked well for other people, but here`s the other side of the coin... for me the dry time was excruciatingly slow.
I took off my acrylics a year ago, been trying to get my nails back to healthy. Found Zoya just a month ago and decided to give it a try. Love the colors but now I want to save cash so I decided to do my own nail. What a great system this is. Had a salon do my nails with the system the first time and manicure lasted a full week with NO chips. I did my own nails the second time and after 5 days had only 1 tiny chip in right ring finger and one small chip on left middle finger. I truly believe it is all due to the full system usage. Don`t use this is you hate your polish and want to (need to) change your polish the next day heheheheh but I`m happy to say having a manicure last more than two days is the best!!!!! Thanks Zoya.
Until trying the Color Lock system, I had pretty much given up on keeping my nails polished and professional looking. I tend to want to re-paint as soon as the first chip occurs. I`ve had my current polish on for five days and have no noticeable chips and the color still looks great. I will definitely order full size when I use up this set.
I had given up on regularly having my nails painted. Between taking care of my home and my family, school work, and my job, within a day my nails would start chipping and peeling - and looking terribly unprofessional.
I purchased the large color lock system to try out before I purchased as a gift, and I cannot rave enough about it. Now I can change my nail polish because I want to, not because the previous color is cracked and chipped and peeling off. I can even have a nail chip or break, and the nailpolish still looks wonderful. I have only been using about 2 weeks, but I feel my nails are feeling stronger and looking healthier as well - bonus!
I plan to never be without this, and am pleased to have found a great all-purpose gift for ladies this holiday!
I was completely unprepared for how adorable the Minicure set would be! I would like to warn that the bottles are a cute half size of the regular ones, but overall the system is great!
I stopped getting acrylics two years ago and a year later tossed all my other nail products to use Zoya exclusively and in six months, my nails are the best they`ve been in my life and I know I`m not poisoning myself.
I tote my whole system to the manicurist, plus my color de jour and even they love it over Opi and others.
Use the whole system. It works, your mani LASTS and you and your nails are miles healthier.
Thanks Zoya
I put this off for a long time due to the price - now I wish I hadn`t. After 6 days there is only minimal tip wear, and no chips or peeling. I`ve never had results this amazing, and I`ve tried everything.
(I am just an average do-at-home manicurist, no professional .... I`m sure if you know what you are doing your results may be even better).
I have been using the Color Lock System for 6 months and I absolutely love it! My manicures last much longer than when I used Seche Vite and Remove is fantastic! I`m hooked!

JACKSON — Democrats in the Mississippi Legislature say they're trying to keep options for a later debate about Medicaid expansion, even though Republican Gov. Phil Bryant opposes it.
The state House voted Thursday to kill a bill that would keep the existing Medicaid program in business beyond July 1. But, the vote doesn't have lasting consequences.
Lawmakers say there are other bills to keep the program alive.
House Bill 560 needed 68 votes to pass. There were 61 for and 52 against.
The House Democratic leader, Rep. Bobby Moak of Bogue Chitto, urged his party members to vote against the bill because it could not be changed to add Medicaid expansion. He says a Senate bill could be amended later.
Under the federal health overhaul, states have the option to expand Medicaid.

As for my need for an apprentice, I may just take you up on that, padawan!
I have not really posted a "How to Do Custom Action Figures Thread" anywhere, because the needs of each figure are SO different from the next. However, over at the Customizing forum at Rebelscum, I DO have some stickied posts of topics (How to Get Started Customizing Figures, How to Photograph your Custom Action Figures. etc.) that may be of help to aspiring customizers.
As a STAR WARS fan, I think I would have preferred having a resemblance to a young Billy Dee Williams... especially since we share the same last name.
However, I guess resembling Michael Dorn is NOT a bad trade off. He was always a pretty good-looking dude.
These threads are always so funny. I realize I may not exactly look like what a lot of folks may have imagined. But I guess to some degree none of us do.
The two most common reactions I get from genre fans who first meet me are:
1) Hey, you look and sound just like a young Michael Dorn.
2) Your hands are so HUGE. How are you able to customize such small action figures?
It's true. I'm just under 6'2", with Chewbacca-sized mitts! Look at my photo again and you'll see what I mean. In fact, my hands are so freakishly large, I keep ripping holes in all of the pockets of my garments, because I'm always trying to hide them, and I don't know my own strength. It's... quite embarrassing.

big hands you say? well hellooooo there......

I am a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC), practicing in Ontario for last 9 years. As a member in good standing of the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) since its inception, I am committed to uphold the principles of integrity, knowledge and consumer protection. Our advice is based on sound legal provisions and practices, so that the client receives the best value for money. Our advice and assistance covers issues such as (a) permanent residence in Canada, (b) temporary residence (c) maintaining residency (d) reuniting family (e) Canadian citizenship (f) Immigration appeals, and more. We assist people from across the world in all Canadian Immigration matters (economic programs), including Federal Skilled Worker Program, Business Immigration, Work permits, Study permits, Family Class sponsorships, Appeals to the Immigration Appeals Division of IRB, etc. The intention of participating in this forum is to share my knowledge and views on Canadian immigration matters for general scenarios. The answers however, should not be considered as a legal advice, as that involves detailed information of various aspects of the immigrants' profile. People should contact me directly, should they wish to use to obtain a specific legal advice.
Since 2002, I have been working in the field of Canadian Immigration consulting. Prior to going into own practice in late 2003, I worked for an Immigration Consulting organisation in Toronto.
My practice covers various areas of economic and family class immigration into Canada. Like I say to my prospective clients, just as there are thousands of ways to find god, there are a no. (over 50) ways to gain immigration to Canada. The trick is to find out the most suitable one for each client. Nevertheless, there are some programs that are more popular. We advise clients on these as well as find innovative immigration solutions for others.
I have been an active volunteer with the Canadian Association of Professional Immigration Consultants (CAPIC), since its inception in 2005. After serving the Ontario Chapter for 5 years in Communications Committee, I joined the National Board in 2010. I served as the Director - Membership on the national Board of Directors of CAPIC for a year.

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

I recently had a handler tell me her dog, who was really noisy in the water, wouldn't make noise on land. Took me about 2 minutes to get her to bark in a land drill (the dog, not the handler). Handler dealt with the issue on land and was supposed to transition that to water. I'm not sure she ever really did though, because I'm not sure the handler really understood the cause and solution beyond doing what she was instructed.
If you can figure out the cause, you can trigger the behavior in other environments and deal with it by correcting/not rewarding it, and then rewarding quiet.

What will happen to this land?
Since this land was clearcut, there is little life left behind. However, that does not mean that this land will stay barren forever. First little seedlings will establish themselves, and with time a forest could thrive here once again.
When you see an older forest, it's easy to picture that the forest has been there forever. This is not the case. Ecosystems are "dynamic." This means that ecosystems change over time. That forest may lie on land that was once covered by an ocean millions of years ago. Lightning may have sparked a fire in a forest, destroying much of the plant life there. Or the forest may have been cut down at one point for agricultural use, then abandoned and allowed to re-grow over time. During the ice ages, glaciers once covered areas that are tropical rainforests today. Both natural forces and human actions cause ecosystems to change.
If there is a big ecosystem change caused by natural forces or human actions, the plants and animals that live there may be destroyed or they may be forced to leave. Over time, a new community will develop, and then that community may be replaced by another. You may see several changes in the plant and animal composition of the community over time. Ecological succession is the constant replacement of one community by another. It happens after a big change in the ecosystem and, of course, succession occurs on brand new land.
Primary Succession
Primary succession is the type of ecological succession that happens on new lands—lands where life has not yet existed. Primary succession can take place after a lava flow cools and hardens into new land, or a glacier recedes exposing new land. Since the land that results from these processes is completely new land, soil must first be produced. How is soil produced?
Primary succession always starts with a pioneer species. This is the species that first lives in the habitat. If life is to begin on barren rock, which is typical of new land, the pioneer species would be an organism such as a lichen (Figure below). A lichen is actually an organism formed from two species. It results from a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an algae or cyanobacteria. The lichen is able to thrive as both the fungus and the algae or bacteria contribute to the relationship. The fungus is able to absorb minerals and nutrients from the rock, while algae supplies the fungus with sugars through photosynthesis. Since lichens can photosynthesize and do not rely on soil, they can live in environments where other organisms cannot. As a lichen grows, it breaks down the rock, which is the first step of soil formation.
Primary succession on a rock often begins with the growth of lichens. What do lichens help create?
The pioneer species is soon replaced by other populations. Abiotic factors such as soil quality, water, and climate will determine the species that continue the process of succession. Mosses and grasses will be able to grow in the newly created soil. During early succession, plant species like grasses that grow and reproduce quickly will take over the landscape. Over time, these plants improve the soil and a few shrubs can begin to grow. Slowly, the shrubs are replaced by small trees. Small trees then are succeeded by larger trees. Since trees are more successful at competing for resources than shrubs and grasses, a forest may be the end result of primary succession.
Secondary Succession
Sometimes ecological succession occurs in areas where life has already existed. These areas already have soil full of nutrients. Secondary succession is the type of succession that happens after something destroys the habitat, such as a flood or other natural disaster. Abandoning a field that was once used for agriculture can also lead to secondary succession (Figure below). In this case, the pioneer species would be the grasses that first appear. Lichen would not be necessary as there is already nutrient-rich soil. Slowly, the field would return to its natural state.
This land was once used for growing crops. Now that the field is abandoned, secondary succession has begun. Pioneer species, such as grasses, appear first, and then shrubs begin to grow.
A forest fire can alter a habitat such that secondary succession occurs (see both Figures below). Although the area will look devastated at first, the seeds of new plants are underground. They are waiting for their chance to grow. Just like primary succession, the burned forest will go through a series of communities, starting with small grasses, then shrubs, and finally bigger trees.
The early stages of succession after a forest fire are shown in these pictures. Taken four years after the fire, they show the charred remains of the original forest as well as the small grasses and shrubs that are beginning to grow back in the area.
In 1988, a forest fire destroyed much of Yellowstone National Park. This photo, taken 17 years later, shows that the forest is gradually growing back. Small grasses first grew here and are now being replaced by small trees and shrubs. This is an example of the later stages of secondary succession.
Climax Communities
A climax community (Figure below) is the end result of ecological succession. The climax community is a stable balance of all organisms in an ecosystem, and will remain stable unless a disaster strikes. This stability is called a state of equilibrium. After the disaster, succession will start all over again. Depending on the climate of the area, the climax community will look different. In the tropics, the climax community might be a tropical rainforest. At the other extreme, in northern parts of the world, the climax community might be a coniferous forest. Though climax communities are stable, are they truly the final community of the habitat? Or is it likely that sometime in the future, maybe a long time in the future, the community of populations will change, and another stable, climax community will thrive?
These ancient redwood trees are part of a climax community, the end result of a series of community replacements during succession.
- Ecological succession is the constant replacement of one community by another.
- Primary succession occurs in an area that has never before been colonized by plants and animals, while secondary succession occurs in an established area that was disturbed.

text: St Catherine was intended to be one of the 12 saints adorning one of the most elaborate of all English royal tombs, the Tomb of the Duke of Clarence. Commissioned in 1892 by King Edward and Queen Alexandra for their first son Prince Albert Victor, Gilbert was instructed to create a work worthy for a young man who, if he had lived, would have been King. St Catherine was, however, not included in the finished tomb.
