Five Toddler-Friendly Places Approved by a 2-Year-Old
The Bay Area abounds with fantastic family attractions. However, they aren't always appropriate for the whole family. Children who have just learned to walk often run the risk of getting jostled by older kids, and won't understand most museum exhibits.
Fortunately, there are places that cater specifically to small tots. These venues allow toddlers to play, test their walking (and grabbing) skills, and most importantly, explore in safety. I can personally vouch for the five spots below—or rather, my 18-month-old daughter Isabelle can.
Though some of these attractions do allow older children, they all have spaces set aside for guests aged 4 and younger. Some of them have areas for infants, too!
Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose
180 Woz Way, San Jose
It's impossible to miss this big purple building from the highway. Head to the upper floor to find the Wonder Cabinet, a play area designed for toddlers aged 4 and younger, with attractions such as a dress-up closet, a sand play area, and ball machines. There's even a separate Crawl Space in the back for very young babies. The ever-popular Waterways exhibit on the ground floor also has a section for toddlers, with water features scaled down to their size.
Baby Belle's Pick: Little toddlers seem irresistibly attracted to balls they can throw, and Isabelle is no exception. She loved the Wonder Cabinet's ball funnel table, where you could toss a ball in, watch it spiral down, and pick it up at the bottom before starting all over.
Admission: $12 for adults and children older than 1
Junior Museum and Zoo of Palo Alto
1451 Middlefield Rd., Palo Alto
As its name implies, this little gem in Palo Alto is geared toward the toddler set. The museum grounds look small to a grownup, but they're just the right size for children who may be overwhelmed by larger parks. Inside, the museum has interactive science and nature exhibits, plus the Babies' Bramble, a gated area with toys and books for small crawlers. The outdoor zoo, meanwhile, has more than 50 species of small animals, including raccoons, peacocks, bats, and a tortoise.
Baby Belle's Pick: Belle was fascinated by the Clean Energy Green Machines—an exhibit where you (surprise) load balls into systems made of pulleys and springs, then watch the balls rise, fall, and spin around. It was a fun way for her to learn how her actions cause reactions.
Admission: Free, although there's a $5 suggested donation per person
557 McReynolds Rd., Sausalito
Located just north of San Francisco at an old Army site, this museum affords some of the most gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge. For toddlers, there's the Tot Spot, an indoor play area with two rooms themed around the wetlands and woodlands. The space serves as a haven away from the big kids, and lets little ones crawl, climb, and bounce over the scenery. Outside, a cleverly constructed "stream" invites them to indulge in water play. Pro tip: bring layers. Many of the activities are outdoors, and it can be chilly on foggy days.
Baby Belle's Pick: The Tot Spot was a huge hit, but the outdoor stream won the battle for Belle's affections. She could have splashed around all afternoon, pushing the toy fish and frogs downstream and just watching the water flow by.
Admission: $12 for adults, $11 for children older than 6 months
544 San Mateo Ave., San Bruno
Although this play center is essentially one room, it's big enough for its target demographic. Toddlers play with its bountiful toys and navigate a giant padded play structure, while parents remain confident that no one will get bowled over or dirty. There's a small café in the back, but families can bring their own food, too. The private nursing rooms are a nice bonus for guests with infants.
Baby Belle's Pick: It's a tossup between the dishes and fake food inside the well-stocked play kitchen, and the numerous ride-on vehicles that she happily pushed around and around.
Admission: $13 per child (with a discounted rate for any siblings after that), or $8 after 5 p.m.
2065 Kittredge St., Berkeley
With a focus on playing pretend and crafting, Habitot features a rocket ship, a grocery store, and a fire station, as well as art areas with paint, clay, and other materials. The space is geared toward children younger than 6, but infants and early walkers get their own gated area with padded climbing blocks and soft toys. Visit while you can—Habitot's website notes that they have outgrown their space and are actively searching for a larger facility.
Baby Belle's Pick: Like all toddlers, Belle loves making a mess. Habitot's painting wall allowed her to scribble and paint to her heart's content; she couldn't spend enough time there.
Admission: $8 for adults and $10 for children older than 1

Bayer HealthCare's GIDEON (Global Investigation of therapeutic Decisions in hepatocellular carcinoma and of its treatment with sorafenib) study progressed with positive data in phase III Trial
Singapore: GIDEON (Global Investigation of therapeutic Decisions in hepatocellular carcinoma and of its treatment with sorafenib) study by Bayer HealthCare, a global assessment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who were treated with Nexavar (sorafenib) tablets, has progressed with positive data in phase III Trial.
The study of more than 3,000 patients from five continents, including half from Asia Pacific, China and Japan, evaluated Nexavar's safety and efficacy in real-world clinical practice in patients with inoperable HCC.
The decision to treat these patients with Nexavar was made under real-world, medical practice conditions. Measurement parameters in the study included the safety and efficacy of Nexavar, patient characteristics, treatment for HCC and physicians' specialty/practice patterns. The study was conducted at 378 sites in 39 countries worldwide including Singapore, China, Japan, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
The findings from the GIDEON study will be very useful to clinicians by providing a clear picture of Nexavar's use in real-world clinical practice" explained Professor Masatoshi Kudo, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Kinki University School of Medicine in Osaka, Japan. "We now have a large, global database of information to help us better manage the safety and tolerability of Nexavar particularly in Asian patients with liver cancer who may benefit from this treatment."
Singapore GIDEON experience principal investigator of the GIDEON trial in Singapore Dr Hsieh Wen-Son, consultant medical oncologist with Singapore Oncology Consultants at the Mount Elizabeth Medical Center and Mt Alvernia Hospital, shared, "Nexavar has been the standard of care in advanced HCC and the only treatment to show a positive survival benefit in patients with unresectable HCC. With GIDEON, we now have access to new safety and efficacy information to better manage advanced patient care in HCC."
Dr Hsieh added, "The patients on the GIDEON trial were monitored at each follow-up visit to ensure that they respond well to therapy and were able to spend as much time as they can with their loved ones. With high mortality rates and less than a 10 percent five-year survival rate of liver cancer patients with inoperable tumoursi, time is of the essence when it comes to diagnosis and treatment."
Child-Pugh (CP) is a score that determines the severity of liver failure, in which CP-A is considered less severe than CP-B. The safety profile of sorafenib in unresectable HCC patients appears consistent, irrespective of liver function, and AEs observed across Child- Pugh subgroups were in keeping with the known AE profile of sorafenib. The GIDEON study also revealed that Child-Pugh status is a strong prognostic factor for overall survival in HCC patients.

Partial Differential Equations: Second Edition - Lawrence C Evans
Functional analysis studies the algebraic, geometric, and topological structures of spaces and operators that underlie many classical problems. Individual functions satisfying specific equations are replaced by classes of functions and transforms that are determined by the particular problems at hand.
This book presents the basic facts of linear functional analysis as related to fundamental aspects of mathematical analysis and their applications. The exposition avoids unnecessary terminology and generality and focuses on showing how the knowledge of these structures clarifies what is essential in analytic problems.
The material in the first part of the book can be used for an introductory course on functional analysis, with an emphasis on the role of duality. The second part introduces distributions and Sobolev spaces and their applications. Convolution and the Fourier transform are shown to be useful tools for the study of partial differential equations. Fundamental solutions and Green's functions are considered and the theory is illustrated with several applications. In the last chapters, the Gelfand transform for Banach algebras is used to present the spectral theory of bounded and unbounded operators, which is then used in an introduction to the basic axioms of quantum mechanics.
The presentation is intended to be accessible to readers whose backgrounds include basic linear algebra, integration theory, and general topology. Almost 240 exercises will help the reader in better understanding the concepts employed.
Request an examination or desk copy.
This book is published in cooperation with Real Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME).
Graduate students interested in functional analysis, PDEs, analysis.
"Overall, this is an interesting and well-written book, covering a lot of material. I found it very readable... The discussion is well motivated mathematically (there are few applications to other areas) and full details of proofs are given, so it is fairly self-contained."

AMAZING entry! I read the whole thing (while procrastinating on work!) and enjoyed it immensely. And I knew exactly what you were talking about when you climbed the glacier, because I've BEEN to your mummy's house in Scotland and stayed in your room! NZ sounds amazing. I want to see it!
Oh gawd!

Anyway...we must begin.
Hello! Becca here (finally). I must admit I've been a right old lazy bones when it comes to writing one of these...now, my time has finally come!
I'm not entirely sure where Mark left off. So I shall start from somewhere else...our holiday! Yay!
After working for 6 or 7 months, we thought it was high time to get back on the road and see some of the country that we had, after all, come to see
We started off on one of our longest drives - about 4 or 5 hours - to the sleepy city of Oamaru. Sleepy is definitely not an exaggeration here, we arrived at about 3pm on a Friday and pretty much everything was closed. We parked up in a campsite that was within the gorgeous Oamaru "city" gardens and thought we would have a wander around the famous "Victorian district". Pretty as it was, it comprised of 2 very quiet and closed streets. We cut our losses and decided to retrieve the van to go for a spot of early evening penguin spotting. The penguins we went to see were yellow eyed penguins, which at this time of year are nesting and so spend most of their day out at sea getting as much food as possible, before returning to the nest at dusk. We arrived full of hopes and excitement and went to sit in the penguin hide on a cliff face. Here, we met a nice Scottish man who was an official penguin spotter for the local conservation agency. He told us there would be no chance of us seeing any. Bum! But then he pointed out one that was hiding in the cliff face (which, from where we were looked like a white lump). So, again, we cut our losses, celebrated seeing a penguin and took the van back to the campsite and went to bed
Next stop on our hol were the famous Moeraki boulders - en-route to Dunedin. Simply put, these boulders are beautifully spherical rocks that have fallen from the cliff face during years of erosion and now sit in the sand looking rather lovely. I got very snap happy and arty here and you will see the proof when you look at the photos. Probably not as interesting for you as it was/is for me…but that's part of your job you see, enduring the endless amounts of photos!
A couple of hours later, when we got to Dunedin, we found that in fact it wasn't the "Edinburgh of the south" as had been boasted to us by the guidebook and various of my English students
(who, to be frank wouldn't know any better regardless).
Dunedin is a nice city though - and there was someone playing bagpipes, so if that's all it takes for the city folk to think that they live in Edinburgh numero 2, then let's not ruin their picnic. As it were.
In seriousness, I think the reason is because the majority of buildings and houses are built of grey stone, which is not the norm in New Zealand whatsoever
When we had settled in our campsite in Dunedin, we hurried to our highlight of the day: the Speights Brewery tour! Hurrah!
Speights is beer that has been brewed in Dunedin for over 100 years, I think it has made it's way over to the uk at some point. The locals love it, even if after their 7th or 8th you can hear them slurring the known rhyme "drink speights lose ya mates". I don't think they mean it, I think they just like the rhyme.
The tour was excellent, we had a lovely, funny tour guide who gave us 20 minutes free use of the pumps in the bar AND peanuts. Fabulous stuff.
To end a lovely night, we went to a Chinese restaurant, where I got the wrong dish for my starter and main (I ordered deep fried tofu for starter and got given deep fried pork that was still a little raw), had an allergic reaction to the wine - or maybe the raw pig?!
The next day we were on to the Dunedin peninsula, where we were planning on camping for a night and then taking part on a boat trip to find Albatross. The Dunedin peninsula is just absolutely beautiful and I thoroughly recommend it to all. On our boat trip we spotted 3 different breeds of Albatross - the Southern Royal, the Northern Royal and another one that I can never remember! The Northern Royal had around a 3.5 metre wingspan - huge! It was just amazing - I never thought I would get to see even one of these elusive birds, so to see 3 was fantastic.
Caitlins coast was next, again, an absolutely beautiful place. Rugged, windswept and very wild. We camped every night and saw so many beautiful landscapes and a lot of wildlife. At one part we stopped at a place called curio bay where there is a petrified forest on the beach. This is where mark had his quote of the holiday: "I thought it was gonna look a bit more scared, like, bending over or something". This is where I explained to mark that petrified, in this case, means fossilised and not very, very frightened…
Next it was over to Stewart Island, an island on the southern most part of New Zealand
We also got followed by a New Zealand robin for the majority of the time, not quite so rare, but still great to get up so close. It would fly off ahead of us, wait until we got up close and then fly on to the next branch. We came to the conclusion that it must be an only child, as when it wasn't getting enough attention it would attempt to dive bomb us, until we mollycoddled it with our words
After Stewart Island, it was pretty much a case of getting back to Christchurch to start work on the orchard that Mark had been working on for the past 3 or 4 months. Yes, that's right, I was about to leave my comfy, city life and my well paid job, to live in the sticks for 3 weeks. It was a great experience and the people we worked with are lovely people - especially our housemates, who we know we'll stay in touch with. The work itself, however, was mind numbing and my brain was most distressed after 2 days let alone 3 weeks!
I did love being outside though, it was great to get a bit of a tan and to be surrounded by such beautiful landscapes. It was also really great to live back with Mark (or the fart as I now like to call him - you may be able to work out why) after so long of us living in separate places.
It was all over pretty soon though, and now we're both missing it and the people. Boo!
Next on our itinerary were visits from friends!
We had been looking forward to this for a long while and so when it finally came around we were quite overexcited. My friend Maddie was to arrive first, she was here on a holiday for 2 weeks
I have to say, swimming with dolphins was probably the highlight of my whole time here in New Zealand. It was just such an amazing experience.
The dolphins we swam with were completely wild, so it was really a case of getting on the boat and trying to find the dolphins first. Then, once we had found a pod - a huge one of about 500!! - the crew then had to monitor their behaviour to check it was safe for us to go in with them. It was, so in we got.
We had had a short training session before getting on the boat about how to interact with the dolphins when we were in the water with them. Basically, as they are completely wild and not trained or coaxed to come near us at all with food or such like, it is up to us to entertain the dolphins and keep them interested in us, so they come to check us out - rather than the other way around
The water was bloody cold when we got in, but Maddie and I got to it, singing away and looking for the dolphins. Then suddenly they were all around us and it was fantastic! We were told that if you manage to get eye contact and swim in a circle with a dolphin, that the dolphin might stick with you the whole time. I'm pretty sure that's what happened with me as I kept seeing the same one with a scar down it's back and on to its tummy. I dived down with it a few times and it was just so much fun! A truly magical experience. The only problem was, that I did so much diving and swimming in circles that I began to feel sick and in the end had to come in because I was ill! I spent the rest of the time hugging a bucket and feeling rather green. But it was just amazing while it lasted!
And, to be honest, after being in the water and singing away, it was really funny to watch everyone else out there singing through their snorkels! I'm pretty sure I heard 'back for good' by Take That and the circus theme!
When we got back to land it turned out that the weather hadn't been quite so perfect for Mark, as his flying lesson had been cancelled due to low cloud. We decided it was time to move on, so we headed up to Nelson and the Abel Tasman national park
Abel Tasman was a gorgeous place with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters. The weather was overcast which was a shame; we had planned to do some kayaking but the water was just too choppy. So, after setting up camp, we all went for a wander on the beach. Here we encountered some Oyster Catchers. By the way they were acting, it was obvious that they were nesting as they were chattering at us and guarding a hole in the sand by a big log. I hasten to add, we were no where near their nest site and had no intention of winding them up! We thought we could walk passed them if we kept our distance and be on our way. I sent Maddie first, - being the nice friend I am - and she promptly got chased away by a very angry Oyster Catcher. We laughed and thought that maybe if we all went passed together we'd be ok. So, we all started creeping passed… and then… ATTACK!! I kid you not, we got bloody attacked by these two tiny birds who have very long and scary beaks. We ran and ran and finally they left us alone
Obviously we abandoned our walk and decided to take the long route instead!
After Abel Tasman it was back down to Christchurch to pick up another friend from home - Neil. He's been travelling for a while as well and is currently living and working in Australia. We picked him up and then went back to Christchurch to meet up with Ric and Angela. Ric and Angela are two of my lovely friends from home who got married in October (I couldn't be there cos I was here… boo!) But, New Zealand was their choice for their honeymoon, so it was just fantastic to get to see them for a couple of days and catch up on all the goss. Congratulations Lamacrafts!! Xxx
Right, I think it's time for all you lot to take a break. You've been reading this for far too long and to be honest, it ain't finished!
Go on, go and refill your cup, get a biccie and then come back.
Ok, final lap of the blog to go
After we had said goodbye to Ric and Angela, off Neil, Maddie, Mark and I went in our lovely Morris for a week or so of travels around the south island.
Our first stop was Mount Cook, where a dreadful storm hit us as we camped and we slept in fear of Morris being turned over by the wind and the tent being blown away! But we survived... well done us! We didn't really get to see much of Mount Cook, due to the weather, so off we went to Queenstown. 4 hours later we arrived, didn't much like the look of it, so off we went again towards Milford Sound.
An old housemate of ours, Tracey, has since moved down to Lumsden - inbetween Queenstown and Milford Sound - so we decided to pay her a visit. In return for a place to stay for the night, we bought some fresh Salmon from a fishery we drove past (about 8pounds for a kilo) and cooked to pay our way! It was great to catch up with her again.
The road to Milford Sound was amazing, let alone Milford sound itself. The road ranged from sunny, grassy plains with snow capped mountains in the distance, to being in the mountain ranges and getting snowed on quite heavily
Milford Sound was absolutely stunning. It is actually a fiord, not a sound - apparently the "bloody English bloke that named it was heaps wrong mate"!
We stayed the night and booked a boat tour of the fiord for 9am the next day. It included all you can eat breakfast, which we were all very excited about. The trip was beautiful, along with the scenery, we saw dolphins, seals and a couple of penguins. Amazing!
If you come to New Zealand, do it!
Next day we left for Franz Josef, to walk on the Franz Josef Glacier. I got a bit wussy and scared after I was asked if I was scared of heights and when I responded yes, the girl behind the desk didn't really know what to say and bumbled something about sticking close to the guide
Turns out, it doesn't make one bit of difference if you're scared of heights or not, because it's not scary. Simple as that. You walk for 2 kms to the glacier, climb up the steps cut into the ice, walk around on the glacier for a couple of hours and the climb back down the steps. The steepest the steps got were about the same as (for those in the know) the climb up to my bedroom at my mama's house. But they were few and far between. Anyway, not to belittle the actual experience, as it was fantastic! And so, so beautiful. There are lots of pictures to show of all our travels, but unfortunately they just don't seem to do the glacier justice. The different shades of blue within it were just beautiful.
Because the whole trip lasted about 4 � hours, we brought sandwiches up with us and had lunch sitting on top of the glacier. Low and behold, who appeared, but a couple of cheeky Keas. They followed us around and eyed our food greedily, before spying that one unlucky man had left his bag unattended while taking photos. Off they went, picking apart his bag and throwing away what wasn't deemed good enough. Poor man! Obviously we couldn't help because we were busy eating (and were all secretly scared of them) - but, some other good Samaritan did, so all was right with the world.
After the Glacier we drove straight to Greymouth for another brewery tour. This time of Monteiths. Much of a muchness, free beer AND cider at the end (to my delight) We all got a little tiddled and had a great night!
The next day we were driving back to Christchurch and cut through the Alps on a road called Arthur's Pass
But then, along came a Kea. Bloody Keas!!
Now, luckily, we had all just read a sign at the campsite that said that Keas are scared of water, and so if we wanted to "educate" them in to leaving our campsite we should just squirt water at them.
The Kea stood on the top of our van and started picking at it. I wasn't having any of this, so I went over to it, flapping my arms and shouting etc, but it wouldn't leave! It started following my every move and almost copying what I did (they have the same intelligence as a chimpanzee / 3 year old - so this is very plausible!) and so I started calling Mark to help me - he knew exactly what was going on as he was IN the van, and the door was open. But did he come to help? No! Did he come to my rescue when, as I retreated from the van, back to the table to save my chopped onion, the Kea followed and tried to snatch the onion from me - even with me waving a knife around at it? No! Was he my knight in shining armour when I started shouting "MARK! GET THE WATER! GET THE WATER!!!!!"
Nope! He just stayed, lying on the bed in the van, "reading"!
Eventually I managed to grab the water and threw it toward the Kea, sure enough it flew off and left us alone. When I asked my dear, lovely boyfriend why he didn't help me, he responded with "well, I didn't want to get hurt, you seemed to be dealing with it quite well."
Yes Mark, flapping around with a knife and an onion while squealing "get the damn water!", is definitely dealing with it! How I love that man!
After that moment, I had a bit of a vendetta against the Keas at that campsite, every time one came near us I chased them with my water while shouting "back off you bastards!"
They learnt soon enough. Bastards.
And then, as if in a whirlwind, we were back in Christchurch, saying goodbye to Maddie and then to Neil and then to our good friends we have made there. It was a sad day.
And now, here we are in Blenheim. Right on the north of the South Island. We managed to work 4 days of a vineyard job before quitting. It was horrible and our boss was a completely unorganised plonker, who has swindled so many people that we are left wondering if we'll get paid… but that's another story!
Soon, we are off to the North Island and then to Melbourne for Christmas to spend with my lovely big brother and his beautiful wifey
And that's the end of this blog. If you got through it all, well done! It was a big one! And if you gave up half way through and skipped to the end, then shame on you… but I don't blame you..!
Lots and lots of love to you all. We miss you all so much and can't wait to see you again next year.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Hahahahahah Mark - petrified = very very scared forest :D hehe :P
Becca - what beeeeooootiful photos and tales of derring do! Glad you had so much fun! And damn those keas..... chuffing pigeons.....
Fab pics. Shame you don't get Kias here - I could chase Mark with one like he used to chase me with crab legs! Keep having fun my lovelies

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS2003241
This kit contains the injector, nozzle and worm clamps. The injector and nozzle are also sold separately.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
This injector nozzle is just under three inches long. It is white in color and made entirely of plastic.
This part is commonly known to cause a leak at the top left corner of the outer tub. It fits over the injector nozzle.
I took off the front of machine by taking out the two screws at bottom of front panel. As I turned the water off and on I could see the leak coming from the sleeve bracket area. Using a small socket I was able to loosen the screw and pull apart the hose from the valve and replace with the new valve in about 30 seconds. Tightened everything back up, turned on the water again--all dry! Put panel back on and good as new!
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Watched video at partselect.com on how to replace injector valve. Followed instruction and used parts in kit to complete repair in less than 30 minutes. Leak stopped and washer runs perfectly.
I opened the front of cabinet (2 philips screws at bottom corner with short screwdriver. Then took out 2 cap screws that hold top on with a 3/8" deep socket and ratchet. Once in, I removed the 3 hose clamps that hold the injector and hose in place and removed both pieces. I put the injector together and put it in and clamped it back in. I put the the seal on the tub end of the hose and installed it in the tub, then clamped the other end again. I ordered the seal separate but I wouldn't have had to since one was included with the injector hose. I reused my old hose clamps since they were in good shape. With that I closed up in reverse order. I could have gotten the parts cheaper from another online souce that I found later. Other than that, PartSelect worked great.

I have learned I need these dogs much more than they need me. Tim Bockmon
What was his time compared to previous times. I know the track was sloppy
Can't remember the final time, but the announcers said the early fractions were the 4th fastest in history which is pretty dang fast given how sloppy the track was. I was very glad to see the Janney and Phipps families and Shug get the win and very impressed with Orb.
Meanwhile over in my neighborhood the Gold Cup races had perfect weather but it didn't stop this carnage! Photo is from a maiden hurdle, not the big race but check out the fallen and riderless horses!~

The Taos Ski Valley Turf Accountant called it right! He said Rosario was "on Fire!" I didn't place a bet, didn't look like much profit in it. But the local bookie did come into my office Monday with some performance sheets and gave me his opinion.

The track variant is huge in determining final times. I do think this is the best horse of the group and the track he runs on isn't that important. His prep races were at Gulfstream Park which was speed favoring but he still won yesterday was for closers he still won. I think he has a real shot to win all three.

Despite other newsworthy stories concerning Hamas and Muslim reaction to newspaper cartoons, the Guardian has chosen to publish a lengthy two-part diatribe (see parts 1 and 2) comparing Israel to apartheid South Africa. The false and unfounded portrayal of Israel as an "apartheid state" is certainly not new and has been examined many times by HonestReporting (see below for related communiques). In the past five years, however, this charge has been revived and promoted as part of a deliberate campaign and strategy to demonize and delegitimize Israel. As Professor Gerald Steinberg notes, this was an outcome of the 2001 UN World Conference Against Racism held in Durban, South Africa.
The attempts to turn Israel into a pariah state like apartheid-era South Africa have encouraged boycott and divestment campaigns and the singling out of Israel for special treatment in international forums as well as tarnishing Israel's image. This potent political weapon and its emotive terminology is thus used to turn Israel's security fence into an "Apartheid Wall" and Zionism into a form of racism. Those who deny the Jewish right to self-determination also turn to the South Africa "rainbow state" example to promote an eventual bi-national state of Jews and Palestinians. The logical outcome of this would see Arab demographic dominance and the end of Israel as a Jewish state.
In debunking the comparison between Israel and apartheid, the Jewish Virtual Library states:
Today, within Israel, Jews are a majority, but the Arab minority are full citizens who enjoy equal rights. Arabs are represented in the Knesset, and have served in the Cabinet, high-level foreign ministry posts (e.g., Ambassador to Finland) and on the Supreme Court. Under apartheid, black South Africans could not vote and were not citizens of the country in which they formed the overwhelming majority of the population. Laws dictated where they could live, work and travel. And, in South Africa, the government killed blacks who protested against its policies. By contrast, Israel allows freedom of movement, assembly and speech. Some of the government's harshest critics are Israeli Arabs who are members of the Knesset.
The situation of Palestinians in the territories is different. The security requirements of the nation, and a violent insurrection in the territories, forced Israel to impose restrictions on Arab residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip that are not necessary inside Israel's pre-1967 borders. The Palestinians in the territories, typically, dispute Israel's right to exist whereas blacks did not seek the destruction of South Africa, only the apartheid regime.
Flawed and biased journalism
The Guardian's feature article is not an op-ed or even an editorial, but the work of Chris McGreal (pictured), the paper's Israel correspondent whose previous posting was actually in South Africa. McGreal's politicized agenda towards Israel is dramatically revealed in this article and raises doubts as to his ability to provide accurate and balanced reporting from the region.
McGreal chooses to interview known anti-Israel figures such as the UN's John Dugard and South African politician Ronnie Kasrils, who has previously called for a boycott of Israel. In addition, marginal figures are quoted, such as supposedly influential Likud Israeli MP Uzi Cohen who calls for the expulsion of Palestinians from PA territories. The reality, however, is that Cohen is the less than influential Deputy Mayor of the Israeli town of Ra'anana and not even a Member of Knesset. Just these examples call into question the credibility of McGreal's piece.

Penn State edges Ohio State, 71-70, in overtime
DISTRICT ROUNDUPJanuary 29, 2014 11:32 PM
D.J. Newbill hit a pull-up jumper over Aaron Craft with two seconds left in overtime, lifting Penn State to a 71-70 Big Ten Conference victory Wednesday night against No. 24 Ohio State at Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio, and ending years of futility against the Buckeyes.
Newbill, who led the Nittany Lions (11-10, 2-6) with 25 points, hit a 3 that forced overtime. Brandon Taylor added 19 points and Graham Woodward had 11 as Penn State ended Ohio State's string of victories in the series at 18.
LaQuinton Ross scored 16 points, Lenzelle Smith Jr. had 15 and Amir Williams added 12 for Ohio State (16-5, 3-5), which has lost five of six after a 15-0 start that saw it rise to No. 3 in the polls.
Buckeyes coach Thad Matta was 17-0 against Penn State since taking over as head coach in 2004-05.
Penn State improved to 2-11 at Value City Arena and is 3-4 on the road this season, winning for the first time in Big Ten play after losing their first three.
More men
Duquesne 71, NJIT 64: Ovie Soko had 25 points and 8 rebounds to lead the Dukes (10-9) to a come-from-behind victory on the road against NJIT (9-14). Duquesne trailed by 10 points midway through the second half before taking the lead on a Derrick Colter 3-pointer with 3:58 left to go up, 59-58. The Dukes closed the game on a 12-6 run.
Duquesne 64, George Mason 45: Wumi Agunbiade scored a game-high 16 points and Raegan Moore added 15 as the Dukes (15-6, 7-1 Atlantic 10) tied a program record with their current six-game winning streak. Janaa Pickard had 12 points to lead the Patriots (6-15, 0-8).
West Virginia 67, Iowa State 56: Despite a 20-point effort from Cyclones forward Hallie Christofferson, No. 20 West Virginia (18-3, 7-2 Big 12) rumbled past No. 23 Iowa State (15-5, 4-5) behind double-digit point totals from four players and a 14-point, 11-rebound outing from center Asya Bussie.

Flu season came early but too soon to say it's bad
Published: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 12:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 12:07 p.m.
NEW YORK — The flu season arrived early in the U.S. this year, but health officials and experts say it's too early to say this will be a bad one.
Experts say evidence so far is pointing to a moderate flu season — it just looks worse because last year's season was so mild.
Flu usually doesn't blanket the country until late January or February. Now, it's already widespread in more than 40 states. That could change when the next government report comes out Friday.
There are a few factors complicating the situation. The main flu virus this year tends to make people sicker. And there are other bugs out there causing flu-like illnesses. So what some people are calling the flu may, in fact, be something else.

text: What are your thoughts on the Thunder 100's to be used in place of a popper gun for picnic and licensed hunt tests? A club member brought one of these to our picnic and from a safety standpoint, I really liked it. The initial purchase is obviously much more expensive than popper guns and poppers, but if they are reliable long term, it would not take too long to become more economical than popper guns and poppers. Do any of you have one? How do you like it? What are the pro's and con's you see or think? Thanks

To most of us, a "green" car is one that's very easy on fuel. I'd argue that a car truly gains eco-credentials when its average fuel economy cracks the 5 litres per 100km barrier.
A decade ago, that figure seemed like fantasy for a standard production vehicle. Even the first-generation Toyota Prius consumed 5.6l/100km.
But slowly, some new models crossed that magic lineand we began to think cars could really be green.
They were - and mostly still are - tiny city cars and/or hybrids.
But thanks to modern engine and construction technology, a few cars achieve outstanding fuel efficiency despite their size and weight.
They prove you can have your eco-credentials - and enjoy some status too. Here are six "green" cars that might surprise:
BMW 320d
What'll it do? 5.3 litres per 100km
BMW's new 3-series is sports-car nimble, high-tech with an eight-speed automatic transmission and in 320d form sips diesel at a very low rate. It proves BMW's "EfficientDynamics" engineering is more than marketing hype. It doesn't quite better that 5-litre mark, but it does everything else so brilliantly - it's surely a no-compromise green machine.
HYUNDAI i40 DIESEL
What'll it do? 4.5 litres per 100km
The i40 is arguably the best thing Hyundai is doing at the moment. It's also a generously proportioned medium-sized wagon with plenty of style and gear. The 1.7-litre diesel model returns 5.6 litres per 100km in automatic-transmission form, but the six-speed manual on Blue Drive (its eco-label) does 4.5 litres.
What'll it do? 5.4 litres per 100km
The introduction of a 2.2-litre turbo diesel, eight-speed automatic model to the Jaguar XF range has not only given the marque a tempting $90,000 entry-level model, it also allows its owners to surround themselves in a green glow. Not at the expense of comfort, though: the XF 2.2D comes in luxury mode.
What'll she do? 4.8 litres per 100km
When the new Mazda6 arrives in March next year, it'll take the model upmarket in terms of size, quality and equipment. But SkyActiv low-friction and weight-saving technologies also mean that the 2.2-litre Sky-D turbo diesel takes fuel economy to extremes.
What'll she do? 5.1 litres per 100km
The E 250 CDI is a full-size German luxury car with a small-capacity 2.1-litre turbo diesel engine. So no compromise on space and equipment and 500Nm of torque and a seven-speed automatic transmission, yet it consumes less fuel than most superminis.
What'll she do? 4.2 litres per 100km
BMT, or Blue Motion Technology, used to mean extreme eco-measures: sackcloth seats, concrete tyres, that sort of thing. Those versions still exist in Europe. But other BMT models incorporate a range of simple/subtle measures that still get incredible results. The Golf TDI BMT has a 1.6-litre turbo diesel engine with 77kW/250Nm. It has stop/start, regenerative braking and low-rolling resistance tyres - very little that detracts from the comfort and practicality of your everyday Golf.

Diversity Week Centered on Multicultural Programming
Diversity Week, taking place Oct. 7-11, has become a campus tradition, according to organizer Antoinette Gomes, director of Rhode Island College's unity center – and that's something she couldn't be happier about.
"That's the thing about Diversity Week that excites me most," Gomes said. "Over the past four years it has grown to where people are really thinking of it as a tradition. And that really, really pleases me."
Diversity Week began nine years ago to develop programming that would give the Rhode Island College community the opportunity to explore cultures, disciplines and interests different from their own.
"I hope that the RIC community walks away from the week understanding that RIC is truly a very diverse environment," Gomes said. "I also hope that they will connect to experiences and people that they might not necessarily have from the week's programming."
Throughout the week, the RIC community can sample a variety of lunch and dinner entrees inspired by different cultures at the Donovan Dining Center and learn about the culture that inspired the dish.
The James P. Adams Library will exhibit examples of discrimination against Italians in America in honor of Italian-American Heritage month, and there will be equality T-shirts for sale for $5 at the RIC Unity Center.
Featured events during the week include the Global Lens Film series, an interfaith forum, an authentic Indian dance, the study abroad international fair, a concert by the bands LovePower and Memory Lanes on the quad, a filming of Aaron Briggs and the HMS Gaspee and diversity week open mic night at the Student Union café.
The week concludes Friday, Oct. 11 with Outrageous Bingo at 8 p.m. in the Student Union, which is described as Bingo with a twist, including human bingo and diversity word search.
Throughout the week, the RIC community is invited to participate in open classes, including minority group relations on Oct. 7, gender and communication on Oct. 8 and multiple voices: Africa in the world on Oct. 10.
"The open classes were something that started about five years ago," Gomes said. "I think the faculty buy-in to Diversity Week is really important, and it's a really great opportunity for students to explore some topics and disciplines they normally wouldn't."
The Unity Center is Rhode Island College's multicultural center and focuses on promoting the accessibility of educational services and excellence for all students through collaborative programming with faculty, staff and the RIC community. The center also provides diversity workshops and seminars and support for the RIC LGBTQ community.
A full schedule of Diversity Week activities is available at http://www.ric.edu/unitycenter/diversityweek.php.

You are here
Newly formed Operation R&R presented its first annual benefit concert, Songs & Salutes, on Friday, September 9 at The Citadel's Holliday Alumni Center. Guests turned up early for an intimate performance with Joal Rush before Southern songwriter Patrick Davis took the stage.
Jalapeño poppers, miniature meatballs, and shrimp and grits did their best to tempt guests from the silent auction, but partygoers equally divided time between bidding on local art and spa packages and munching on treats. Partygoers milled about or snagged a drink at the open bar, but nearly everyone grabbed a seat as the lights dimmed and Patrick Davis & Friends took the stage.
Davis delivered a wonderful performance that was the highlight of a relaxed, intimate evening benefiting soldiers and their families. Founded in May of this year, Operation R&R Charleston is the local branch of non-profit organization Operation R&R, which was founded in Hilton Head Island, SC in 2008 by Dr. Grant Evans. The organization aims to provide active duty service men and women who have recently been deployed the opportunity to reconnect and strengthen family relationships by vacationing in the Charleston area at little to no cost.

Jerome Le Banner: "I'm not a K-1 fighter."
- Written by Rian Scalia
In an interview released today by French website ikusa.fr, Jerome Le Banner had some bad things to say about K-1, later on focusing specifically on Mr. Tanikawa. Here's a bit of what he had to say:
"I'm not a K-1 fighter." No more K-1! "They don't pay the premium of combat which is due to me!"
"I'm lucky for me it's just a single fight." Other fighters them..."
"He added more, implying an open hint which said that several other combatants have still not been paid. A kind of treason for a person who has helped build the reputation of the K-1 since its inception this 15 years ago."
Le Banner then went on to take shots at Mr. Tanikawa:
"I am very grateful to master Kazuyoshi Ishii." (founder of the K-1 was the first to bring Le Banner to the K-1). But after there is a species of clown who appeared. Yes gentlemen journalists you rigolez and you surely understood that I was talking about M.Tanikawa. This person is just a puppet. "I have still not been paid for my fight on December 31 and until Tanikawa is not president, I will not fight for K-1."
You can read the rest of the interview here, translated. Le Banner goes on to talk about his foray into pro wrestling in Japan under the IGF banner.

Welcome to the results of our first Global Mobility in Africa survey. As business interests across Africa increase so does the need to have the right people, in the right place at the right time. Africa offers unique challenges when relocating individuals and with this survey we sought to gain insight into how companies operating in Africa are managing these challenges.
The majority of companies surveyed suggest that the number of people they will send on international assignments is expected to increase. As reflected in PwC's 17th Global CEO Survey 2014, one of the greatest concerns for these companies is the ability to attract and retain expatriates in the locations they require.
As more multinational companies expand across the African continent, competition for talent will intensify. Businesses need to be more aware of what their competitors are doing and offering, they need to be attuned to the satisfaction of their assignees and they need to be well informed about best practice in order to remain competitive in the 'war for talent'.
Other high-scoring concerns include the safety and security of employees and regulatory restrictions. Although the level of difficulty in dealing with these varies for each location, a carefully considered and well integrated global mobility programme will be able to minimise risks to both the individual and the company.
The importance of mobility to business growth has increased substantially in recent years. This, as well as our subsequent surveys, will provide some guidance and insight into how companies can better navigate the challenges of mobility in Africa.

Honestly, Slowinski is a prominent name in K-1, was favorite to qualify and for me is a great performance because now I'm in the Final 8. Never thought before the fight that I will be able to beat him. It was extraordinary! I am honored to had the chance to fight against him.
Is it the most important win in Your career?
Certainly, the most important win of my career. Slowinski victory was a big step for me so I can enter the world of good K-1.
How can You classify yourself among world's top K-1 heavyweight fighters?
In top 10 for sure I am.
Could You compare Romanian and Dutch K-1 scene? Give us Your thoughts about Romanian K-1's future and it current situation.
I say this with all sincerity, in Romania, K-1 has become a cult. The world is knowledgeable, fighters are already known. In every city I go, people recognize me on the street. We have many athletes who have reached a high level. From this point of view, I can say we are near Netherlands. But all this would not have happened without Eduard Irimia, the man behind Superkombat.
Please tell us who was Your toughest rival and who You would like to fight in the future?
Slowinski is the one who hit the most. It felt like blows to the heart. I never thought of any future opponent, but I'm ready to face anyone. It would be an honor to fight with Cro Cop. I've had opponents as Mighty Mo and Goodridge, so it would be something amazing for me to fight against Cro Cop, a true legend.
Daniel Ghita is considered as the best kickboxer in the World and as You he is also Romanian. Do You want fight him? Is there any chance to see Your fight?
Everyone knows that Daniel Ghita is the favorite, and his rise made me to work with more ambition. Daniel demonstrated that any fighter from Romania can reach a very high level. It's a valuable fighter and I would always fight with him. It would be a very good match for experience as well as record.
You fight at SuperKombat events and You debuted at K-1 in Japan recently. Could You compare both events? Where You prefer to fight?
I love both promotions. K-1 is something new for me, but Superkombat came to be at the highest level in the future so I want to keep both promotions. As and organization are similar.
Thank You for the interview and we wish You as well Polish kickboxing fans many successes and win in K-1 Final tournament. Best for You.I thank you and I want you to be proud to have a big fighter as Paul Slowinski as hell. Is a true warrior. I want also to thank fans for their support worldwide.

Note: This review is not reflective of the manga of this series, which was actually very good. This is another Manga-turned-Anime where the storyline, character development, and additional story arcs are completely butchered and therefore, the OVA makes absolutely zero sense. Unfortunately, because of this, it makes it hard to give it anything but a negative review. The plot is presented in a disconnected fashion, and without the neccessary background knowledge that is provided in the manga, but not in the OVA, it's very hard to understand just exactly "wtf is going on!?". To further... See full review
The final episode was posted online this morning, and it provided a fitting ending, though I would like to see more. This show is about a girl who goes to a music/idol academy to become a composer. Along the way she meets six guys who end up being her best friends and she ends up composing music for them. If you like shoujo, and love reverse harem with lots of bishies running around then you'll love this. The main characters eyes are kinda creepy (yellow, really?), but once you get past that, she's pretty cool. Story: The story was pretty simple... chick likes music, chick goes to school for...

I just had a marathon of this anime, I could not put it down. As a huge shojo/romance buff, I felt that this series had everything that I was looking for, my only regret was that it ended "unfinished" so to speak. Since it's been three years since it ended, it probably will not be getting a sequel, which is a shame. I enjoyed this show. If you dig shojo, you will love it. If you don't, you won't. Even while watching it, I was thinking "geez, there's a lot of romance scenes (love triangles like crazy), but for people who don't like romance (or prefer action/adventure scenes), no wonder they...

I'll just come right out and say it: I hated this anime and I really wished I didn't waste my time watching it. I wanted to see what all the hype was about, since I love Shoujo and my sister was a huge fan...but she didn't tell me the anime was terrible in comparison to the manga (but they both pretty much suck). You would think that with all the merchandise they sell, they would make a second season to 'fix' some of the suck and give it a real plot line with some romance fluffed in. No conclusive romance, no conclusive ANYTHING, actually. Tohru is creepy as hell and the ending was very... See full review

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
Winning big in the SEC and hosting an NCAA regional requires winning on the road, and Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco wants his team to have some experience with that before conference play begins.
The No. 8-ranked Rebels haven't lost a weekend game after opening with back-to-back home sweeps against TCU and Rhode Island.
They will try to duplicate that success in Miami this weekend against Florida International. First pitch today in the best-of-three series is 5 p.m.
"We always like to go one weekend kind of as a dry run, and I say that not figuratively, and not like spring training or practice," Bianco said. "It's the first time a lot of these guys have traveled with us, and the first time with the plane, bus, itinerary, meetings, that type of stuff. We call it a business trip."
The first order of business will be holding down a Florida International offense that is hitting a collective .329 and averaging 7.6 runs a game.
Ole Miss right-hander Bobby Wahl, today's starter, has allowed just one run over his first two starter but gave up a career-high six walks last week against Rhode Island.
FIU's weekend success
The Golden Panthers (7-2) play in the Sun Belt Conference and are coached by former LSU assistant Henry "Turtle" Thomas.
FIU has weekend sweeps of Stony Brook and Manhattan. Its losses have come against Texas Tech, with whom it split two games, and Bethune-Cookman.
Ole Miss (8-1) arrived on Thursday and practiced in the afternoon.
The Rebels split two mid-week games, losing 4-3 to Memphis while committing six errors, then winning 7-2 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
"So we're on the road. It's tough on the road, and we have to learn how to win games on the road," Bianco said. "Florida International will be a huge challenge. They're very good."

Yamaha CS-50
The CS-50 was released just ahead of its famous big brothers, the CS-60 and CS-80. The CS-50 looks like a scaled-down version of the monstrous CS-80, and it is! This will benefit those who crave the famous classic Yamaha synth sound without the struggle of lugging around the 215 pound CS-80! The CS-50 weighs in at about 100 pounds. The CS-50 is also just 4-voice polyphonic, and lacks the quality weighted 61-note keyboard of the CS-80. The CS-50 has just a 49-note standard keyboard. It does feature pressure (aftertouch) sensitivity route-able to several destinations, however.
The CS-50's sound is unmistakably related to other classic CS-series synthesizers. At just four voices with one osc. per voice and lacking warm filters (at just 12dB/oct) the CS-50's sound can be thin. There are 13 preset sounds of various instruments and synth sounds but, unfortunately, no on-board memory storage for your edited presets. At its low street price, the CS-50 makes a great way to get your hands on these classic sounds without going broke! It's too bad their tuning is just as unstable as the other CS-series synths. It's housed in a built-in travel-case like the other (big) CS-synths. It's been used by Men Without Hats and Herbie Hancock.

wire weed guards
I tied up a slew of bonefish flies with mono weed guards for Belize where the turtle grass is really thick. I found that you cannot keep them in a box. The least bit of pressure on the mono while in the box will deform it, and you cannot bend it back. Therfore, I have been experimenting with stainless wire.
Dan Blanton uses two strands of Sevenstrand wire on his tarpon flies. It is tied in at the eye, and bent back to protect the hook on both sides. I have been doing the same for my bonefish flies.
Most likely, you local framing shop carries a woven stainless steel wire with a plastic coating. they usually carry wire that will support picures up to 100#. For bonefish, I use the lightest which is 15 pounds. The wire doesn't have to be strong. It just has to move the fly away from the grass. It doesn't have to move the grass.
When tying on the wire, I use a piece two or three inches long, fold it in the center, go through the eye in a downward direction, and tie the fold in on top of the hook. I leave the wire projecting foreward and out of the way while tying the fly. You can bend it anytime, even on the water.
This light wire bends easily, and you must check your fly often. You can fold it out of the way if you want. Then put it back in position when neccessary. It is a lot easier to tie in than mono.
I do agree with the above a good brand 15 or 20lb. mono works very well as a weed guard and does not change a thing for hookups. As far as I know it helps a lot in the shrimpgrass.
also works
i'm stationed over seas and getting mason hard mono is hard at times, instead i use 15-20lb Ande mono. it works great, a lot of the flats in the keys, even the sandy ones will have a good amount of grass and seaweed floating through with the tide. even if grass isnt a problem on a flat there is so much lime stone and coral to het hooked up on that a weed guard is a very good idea. simply tie in a "V" shaped weed guard on smaller clousers and crazy charlies, and on the larger flies like larger clousers and deceivers tie in a loop style guard. most of the "blind" bend backs work well on the bones and dont requiure a guard since they are tied with out eyes they get hung up less and seem to glide from grass top to grass top.
You don't need any wraps under the weedguard to hold it up. The hard mono will stay more or less where you bend it.
You dont' need to bend it more than perpendicular to the shank. Even if it is out in front a little bit it will keep the fly from hanging up. This will also leave your hook unobstructed. Leave the weedguard a little longer if you want to use it this way.
I end up in the Bahamas for bones most of the time so a weedguard gets very little use. Sometimes you are throwing into grass but there's not much in the way of flotsam to worry about down there. I would say I have a few and use one or two in a week down that way.
An unweighted fly fish slowly above the weeds gets good reactions too. I've been surprised by how far a bone will rise to take a fly under the right conditions (e.g. not tailing).
I just ordered some 30# hard mono guess I'll go pick up some 15 or 16# also.
Big Dave when you bend the mono back towards the point do you put a wrap or two around it to keep it there?
Jim I think the RIO hard mono would work but 30# is too heavy. You want 15-20#
Last year I started just tying a length of hard mono down the length of the hook out past the eye. Tie it in on the side with the hook point. Then finish the fly as usual. When you are done just bend the mono extending past the eye back towards the hook point. Trim it a little bit past the point and you are in business. Seemed to work pretty well.
I would say more than 50% of my bone/permit flies have weedguards.
If you're bonefishing in the Keys they're mandatory. Same goes for redfish, snook and trout. A number of my tarpon flies have them too. As far as a weedguard hindering a hookset- don't worry about it because you aren't going to hook a fish with six inches of grass trailing from it. I generally use 16# Mason on all of my bonefish flies tied in horseshoe style. Jim, if you're having a hard time finding it locally, try World Wide Sportsman (they're owned by Bass Pro), Cabelas or Kaufmanns.
I was wondering the same thing, where I'm headed (the keys) they are highly recommended. I'm thinking about tying most of the patterns with them and if they present a problem in hooking bones (not a bad problem to have for a rookie like myself), I'll simply snip them off.
What about using 30lb floro for guards, I'm not sure how stiff they should be would 30lb rio hard mono do the trick, having trouble finding the Mason brand.
Weed guards
What do you guy' s think about weed guards on bonefish flies.
Do you think they hinder hook sets?
If you use them what types do you tie in?
Is it agood idea to have at least one or two of each pattern tied w/ a guard?

The Hackerspace Passports were created to
- help promote people visiting as many hackerspaces around the world as possible
- increase collaboration
- increase cross-pollination so we can all learn from one another
- encourage all hackerspaces to support each other
- (And it's fun.)
These Hackerspace Passports look a lot like US Passports, but no fingerprints needed! And, rather than a requirement for passing borders, they are intended to encourage it!
Hackerspace and hacker cons around the world have made their own stamps, so people can get their Hackerspace Passport stamped everywhere they go!
Getting Your Own Hackerspace Passports
ENTS has a supply of passports on hand to buy if you're interested, they're $5 and can be bought from any director.
The next easiest way to get a passport is to head over to SparkFun and buy one with your next order.
Stamp Dimensions
Each page of the Hackerspace Passport can accommodate 4 stamps of 41mm x 47mm, or 1 stamp up to 89mm x 118mm.
Promotional Graphics
Below are some drafts for website badges to promote that your hackerspace has stamps to support these passports.

Re: Time for my experience and help
There is no rhyme or reason, Carlos. For awhile we had quite a few men who had served in the Korean & Nam wars coming down with CC and it was thought that they picked up a parasite in Asia called "liver flukes". I have also noticed a lot of people from the East Coast States versus other areas. The most frustrating thing for me right now is the amount of "younger" people we seem to be getting. And then the frustration that there are not enough of us to get attention. But we are working on it. To some your 3 months would be an eternity to others not a lot of time at all. Sounds to me though like you are doing quite well as mom's advocate and care taker. Side note...I am a travel consultant and about 15 years ago took 400 people from Time Insurance to Marbella and Morrocco. Spain is just beautiful both the land and the people. I loved it. We stayed at the Don Cesar and also took a side trip to Casablanca. Stay positive we need a lot of positives in our world today.
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.

This mornings cold setup. And it was chilly too. 37 degrees when I got to the training grounds. B1-110 yds, B2-160 yds, M1-85 yds and M2-120 yds.There was a north wind, which is blowing at my back. And Rowdy is running downwind.
Look at my right foot. Notice anything? Several weeks ago I stubbed a toe and later broke another
After last weeks hunt test it was swollen badly and red. So I went to the doctor. A sandal boot was the RX but I have a bag over it as it has open toes, etc.
I ran B1 first
Then B2. I don't think I got Rowdy lined up very good. Plus I put the bumper in a bad spot. Right in front of the dead tree stump. Rowdy blew by it, which is not all bad.
Then a walkup on the double marks.
I love this little dog.

"President Lincoln Shot by an Assassin"
On April 15, 1865, this headline appeared in the New York Times. At around 9:30 the previous evening, President Abraham Lincoln was attacked while at a theater with his wife. He died the following morning. Just a few days earlier, Robert E. Lee had surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant, ending the Civil War. Now, celebration became mourning.
The search was on for Lincoln's assassin. Within two weeks, John Wilkes Booth was captured and killed. It wasn't long before eight conspirators were also caught. They were held and stood trial at Fort McNair, which is now part of Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall, a U.S. military base in Fort Myer, Virginia. TIME For Kids visited the base to learn about this important piece of American history.
Inside the Courtroom
In 1863, Fort McNair was a federal penitentiary, or prison. In order for a military tribunal, or trial, to take place, the assistant warden's office was turned into a courtroom. Near the center of the room, you can still see the witness stand where the conspirators testified. A long wooden table lies in front, where military judges once sat. Also in the center of the room is a table where journalists reported on the sensational trial. Space in the back remains empty: long ago, spectators gathered here. The courtroom was recently renovated and turned into a "mini museum." Base commander Colonel Fern O. Sumpter told TFK that she hopes to open the courtroom to the public in 2014.
What else will you see if you visit the base? A small room next to the courtroom is thought to have been the cell in which Mary Surratt was held. Surratt was the only woman to be tried for Lincoln's assassination. Her cell and an adjoining room house artifacts related to the famous trial. Many are replicas from The Conspirators, a 2011 movie about the trial. Mary Surratt's clothing from the film is there, along with a ladies fan that shows scenes from Lincoln's death, a letter from President Andrew Johnson, and a photograph of the conspirators. Outside, a tennis court now cuts into the space where four of the conspirators met their end.
Living Legacy
The fact that Fort McNair has a historic tie to President Lincoln has special meaning for base commander Colonel Sumpter: she is the first African-American female commander in her position. It would have been inconceivable in Lincoln's time for an African-American woman to have such a powerful role. As she told TFK earlier this year ("Tell It With Pride"), Colonel Sumpter sees herself in the military line of African Americans who stem from President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. In 1863, this document granted freedom to enslaved African Americans.
In her office at Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall, she added, "During the Civil War, many African Americans, including free and escaped slaves, joined the Union Army's fight." She explained that Fort Myer was home to two units of African-American soldiers known as Buffalo Soldiers: the 9th Cavalry regiment, which served from 1891 to 1894, and the 10th Cavalry regiment, which served from 1931 to 1949. "Markers on buildings here denote their service," she said.
Such facts illustrate "just how far our nation and our Army have come," Colonel Sumpter said. "So many service men and women of varying ethnicities have served our nation with distinction around the globe in every war—often without recognition, payment, or promotion."
She continued: "As a nation, I think we still have work to do, but I can think of no other place I'd rather live and serve than right here in the United States of America."

http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/12/2...imination.htmlAnd that makes Ireland the most important person in the Dolphins organization for the next eight months.
Ireland didnt wish to talk, as is his custom during the season. He believes this time of year belongs to Joe Philbin, the assistants and the players.
But it will soon be his time. And if you dont believe that, it might surprise you to learn that I overheard Ireland make that point after Sundays game better than I or anyone else could.
Ive got picks and money, he told a visitor as he rubbed his hands together almost in mad scientist glee.
Indeed, for all you think of Ireland, and I know some fans dont like him, you must admit he has done a great job of setting up Miami for a big offseason and even a grand offseason if he gets things right.

Will do.
On a related note, I only got that PUG to level 18, but even at this level; I'm reminded each time I enter a dungeon why I usually play a tank.
It blows my mind how many people don't understand how to keep hate on more than one mob at a time
I will say this, as a glad, it can be really hard to hold aggro of an entire group until lv 22 (provoke). Depending on how much the healer spams heals. Then it gets easy at 26 (with 3rd part of the eminity combo).
We are cool cuz we play with people on NA servers fricking frick my life.
Make sure to move a few of the target icons to a spare bar (I just use 1, 2, and 3). If the dps is can count to 3 there shouldn't be a problem, but with a CNJ or WHM spamming medica (group heal)it is impossible to hold agro from the extra mobs even at lvl 35. Few healers realize this in an emergency heal that should only be used on the rare occasion the party takes an AOE. As a CNJ I always made the tank the priority and single target healed, even when the ignorant archer pulls the #2 mob from the group. Sometimes I would have time to throw him a heal, others he would take a dirtnap. This gets much messier when a mob breaks away from the pack and Medica is used. Now instead of the tank and dps fighting over agro the healer is being chased around the room by the entire pack.
For tanking, open up with (2) flashes then progress through a combo on the #1 target. By this point you can start rotating through the other two mobs and use provoke or combos to keep them on you. If you still ave problems due to healer agro or a dps is just doing as they please, you can always spam flash. The only draw back to that is the entire run will take longer now that you have to wait for mana regen between packs. Tanking and healing are more about the rest of your party playing together and less about the individual class.
I changed from CNJ to GLD in early access since tanking is just more involved. You have to work to keep agro in this game, but you are still always going to be heavily dependent on the rest of your group.
ETA: If you have a gaming mouse, set your target icons to the spare buttons. This helps when a boss summons adds mid fight and you need to create a kill order for your group.

VIDEO: The trailer for Food, Inc.
You are what you eat. And if you're like most Americans, you eat hamburgers made from cows who likely spent their lives crowded in fetid factory farms, ankle-deep in mud and excrement. And chickens artificially bred to grow so big, so fast, that the birds can barely support their own weight.
And corn. Lots and lots of corn. Corn in ketchup and salad dressing and peanut butter and jelly and juice and cola and nearly every component of the fast-food "value meal" you just wolfed down at lunch.
But as Robert Kenner shows in his excellent new documentary (which is as visually flashy as it is viscerally alarming), that "value" is illusory. The massively mechanized corporate production processes that stock the average supermarket with 47,000 brands of low-priced food are insidiously damaging our environment, our economy, our culture, and our health. And as such talking heads as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) explain, only we as citizens and consumers can change that.
