Last year we touched the lives of over 7,000 young people who took part in educational offerings here at HAWS. The way for us to change the circumstances of animals in our community for the better is to reach our youth, exposing them to the wonders of animals and all the values that they can teach us.
We know, however, that there are young people who stand out above the rest concerning their commitment to animals.
Each year, we look for nominees for our Diana Boettcher Youth Community Kindness Award. An Oconomowoc area resident, Ms. Boettcher was dedicated to the area's animals, especially the wildlife, watching over them as a guardian. In her honor, HAWS is looking for a student who cares deeply about animals the way Diana did – not your average animal lover, but one who puts passion into action. We are looking to recognize a young advocate who, by asking questions, taking a stand and sharing their convictions, is already making a difference in the treatment of animals, thus building a better community.
If you know of a student like this, please nominate them!
Nominees must be 18 years or younger. Family, friends, community members and teachers are allowed to nominate deserving youth; in addition, students may also nominate themselves. If chosen, the recipient must be available to accept the award at the Friends of HAWS' 33rd Annual Romp 'n Rally Pet Walk on May 7, 2016 at Sussex Village Park. Applications must include the nominee's name, address, birth date, school and an essay (not to exceed 500 words) explaining the youth's commitment to animals in their community.
Applications must be received at HAWS by April 15th and can be emailed to Megan at [email protected] or sent to HAWS/Award, Attn: Megan, PO Box 834, Waukesha, WI, 53187-0834.

You say you got "lucky" when your SPEC clutch went... was that the "final" try at the clutch, or was that the original replacement?
Cause I had a perfectly working Exedy (besides the high RPM slip) in the car, made ZERO noise (on the same Exedy LWFW)
Then I put in the SPEC.... and all hell broke loose...
Removed the SPEC and installed a NEW verson of the SAME Exedy and have yet had a slip issue (the flywheel was cut wrong on the first Exedy)...
"I" don't believe it's "normal" to have that noise what-so-ever...
No these set ups were all in different transmissions and set ups.
Set up 1:
04' Wrx trans, Act street clutch and street light flywheel
-This set up really bugged the **** out of me. I had just swapped everything and in my stock Rs trans and then the 05' legacy non turbo trans swap (first one ever completed) I ran a 9lb fidanza flywheel and not once ever had a decel noise like this one. This had be believing I had an issue with my trans.
Set up 2:
03' wrx trans with spec stage 2.5 clutch and spec lightened flywheel. Basically still had the same decel noise. Now I knew my 04' trans was still good and the issue had to have been somewhere in having the lightened flywheel. There was a special note I took into consideration. When I installed the pilot bearing it came with threadlocker and the instructions said to apply it and stick it in the flywheel. I had a really bad feeling about that because a good fitting pilot bearing you have to beat in.
Set up 3:
Since this trans seemed fine and I bought it for $100 bucks because someone couldn't figure out how to get the back section on I had a known good trans and foolishly sold the 04' trans. A while later third gear blew on me from the previous owner not being nice to the trans. This is when I changed all the bearings and gears to a spare blown trans. I ran that same spec clutch and flywheel with the newly swapped over box. Noise still there.
Set up 4:
Swapped over the 2.0L for the sti 2.5. This time I was just tired of that decel noise. While not insanely loud like yours people still looked at me like my car was about to break. I finally said screw it and had a wrx stock flywheel laying around. I sent it out to get resurfaced and put that in with the engine. The noise was basically gone. I also should add this was the first time I ran a stock pilot bearing. It seemed within a few weeks the noise was just a little more noticable but still not as bad as it was and I didn't get "the look" any more.
Set up 5:
The spec clutch which I loved and thought it felt awesome crapped out. It was rated for 500 plus ft lbs of tq and couldn't handle 350 ft lbs to the wheels. I knew I was getting retuned for more boost so I went with old reliable. I went back to ACT. I decided to go with the 6 puck and the streetlight flywheel again. I used a stock pilot bearing again. This time no more noise. Has been gone for at least a year now.

WATCH: Hero pilot landing plane in gale force winds dramatically averts crash
THIS is the nail-biting moment a pilot narrowly avoided crashing a plane packed full of passengers.
The captain of the easyJet flight with 149 people was forced to abandon the landing as it battled with strong gusts.
The hero pilot performed a "go around" for several minutes before he was eventually able to land the aircraft safely.
Dramatic footage of the manoeuvre was caught on camera at Leeds Bradford airport on Friday.
In the video captured by a plane-spotter the jet can be seen being blown around before nearly touching down.
"The Captain took the decision as precaution only and the aircraft then landed routinely. The safety of its passengers and crew is the airline's highest priority"easyJet spokesman
But within seconds it is forced to take off again as terrified passengers clutched to their seats.
The plane finally makes a safe landing after circulating in strong winds for several minutes.
"easyJet can confirm that flight EZY7346 from Geneva to Leeds Bradford Airport performed a 'go around' on landing at Leeds Bradford Airport on 29 January," said a spokesman for the airline.
"The Captain took the decision as precaution only and the aircraft then landed routinely.
"The safety of its passengers and crew is the airline's highest priority."
Leeds Bradford Airport is the highest airport in the UK and regularly experiences high winds.
The unnamed pilot was hailed a hero for his quick actions.
The landing could have ended up a complete disaster like this plane which flipped over by strong winds of Storm Gertrude at Durham Tees Valley Airport near Middlesborough.

Villagers set themselves a target of £10,000 in 1971 to raise money for a new village hall, to replace a wooden hall erected as a memorial to residents killed in the 1914-18 war. The new hall was intended as a memorial to villagers killed in both world wars. The top picture was taken at a celebration to launch the appeal.
The Haywain Club held a monthly Sunday morning stall outside the Ben Jonson pub in 1985 to raise money for equipment for the children's adventure playground. Serving at the stall in the middle picture are, left to right, Mr F R Page, Stella Green and Ken Green, with customers Ted Miller and Vera Colbourne.
A village fun day in 1990 attracted plenty of entries for the fancy dress competition. Hoping to win a prize in the bottom picture were, left to right, Harriet Goodwin, Sammy Andrews, Charlotte Goodwin, Karry Andrews and Kirsten Goodwin.

Total Spanish immersion for Birkdale students in Salamanca
- Details
- Published: Monday, 20 April 2015 10:28
A group of Y10 and Y11 pupils from Birkdale School had the fantastic opportunity to spend nine days in Salamanca, staying with families close to the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thus experiencing one of the most beautiful university cities in Old Castile in central Spain.
Accompanied by their teachers, they were participating in a custom-made programme organised by the Colegio Delibes with five full mornings of lessons followed by visits and activities in the afternoons and some evenings. These included engaging with local people as much as possible (see photo taken in the main square of Salamanca) as well as a cookery lesson, tapas tasting, discovering the main monuments and museums of the city.
Furthermore as the visit coincided with Semana Santa or Holy Week, pupils were able to see some of the typically Spanish Easter street processions and celebrations of the cofradia or religious guilds of Salamanca.
At the weekend, there was a full-day excursion to Avila, with its imposing medieval walls and Segovia which will be remembered by pupils not only for its impressive Roman aqueduct with more than 170 arches but also for the chance to try the local speciality of cochinillo or roast piglet.
Indeed, both the town and region proved to be a great place to stay and learn both from a linguistic and cultural point of view with the Spanish spoken being reputedly the purest in the Hispanic world.
Head of Modern Languages, Mrs. Kathryn Higham, said: 'I was delighted that pupils were able to experience Spanish family life, to boost their understanding and use of Spanish, to visit so many historical and cultural sights as well as discovering first-hand the traditions and customs of Spanish people.'

The Queensland Government has taken the first step to reverse key components of the Newman Government changes to industrial relations, employment and safety law in Queensland. On 7 May 2015, the Industrial Relations (Restoring Fairness) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015 (Bill) was introduced to State Parliament. The Bill was passed with amendments on 4 June 2015 (Amending Act). The Amending Act implements the first stage of the Government's industrial reform.
This update summarises the content and effect of the Amending Act on the Industrial Relations Act 1999 (Qld) (IR Act) and what Queensland public sector and local government employers should do to prepare.
What does this mean for Queensland public sector and local government employers?
Award Modernisation
Prepare for more award changes if you are covered by one of the ten modern awards made under the award modernisation process initiated by the former Government. Expect the Commission to remove the previously 'required content' provisions about consultation, dispute resolution and individual flexibility arrangements and reinstate the previously 'non-allowable' provisions including contracting, job security, union encouragement and right of entry.
Pre-modernisation awards will continue to operate until they are modernised under the amended framework. However, the provisions currently deemed 'of no effect' in pre-modernised awards like contracting, job security and organisational change will be operative again.
Modernisation has been suspended from 17 March 2015 but will resume under the amended framework. Variations to existing modern awards which were implemented under the previous government are to be actioned first.
Certified agreements
Prepare for more bargaining if your certified agreement is one of seven agreements made under the existing framework. The Amending Act provides for new nominal expiry dates for these seven agreements set at three months after the variation date of the underlying modern award. These employers should reconvene their bargaining teams and prepare for further negotiation, determine financial parameters, as well as decide what of the previously 'non-allowable' provisions they are prepared to include in their certified agreements (if any).
Provisions in certified agreements which are currently deemed 'of no effect' will be operative again.
High income guarantee contracts
The Amending Act repeals the provisions of the IR Act which create high income positions and high income guarantee contracts.
- The contract continues and has contractual force at common law;
- Any awards or agreements that previously applied will apply again; and
- The 'excluded provisions' once again apply to an employee who is employed pursuant to the contract.
Right of entry
Expect that industrial officers will enter workplaces to inspect time and wages records and speak to members without notice. WHS entry permit holders will also be permitted to enter workplaces for suspected safety breaches without notice.
Preparing for the roll-back
State system employers should review their policies and procedures, as well as any industrial processes underway (including restructuring and outsourcing) and consider how these will need to change when provisions currently deemed 'of no effect' are re-enlivened.
A recap - the IR Act from December 2013
The Newman Government made extensive amendments to the IR Act in 2012 and 2013. Relevantly to the Amending Act those amendments:
- created a regime for modernisation of industrial instruments;
- deemed particular provisions of industrial instruments 'of no effect' (which effectively took a 'red pen' to the these clauses);
- provided a 24-hour notice regime for right of entry.
What does the amending act do?

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers vs. Winthrop Eagles Pick-Odds-Prediction - 3/9/14
Winthrop Eagles (20-12) at Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (20-12)
College Basketball: Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 12:00 pm (HTC Center)
The Line: Coastal Carolina Chanticleers -2 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
The Big South championship will be decided Sunday when the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers face the Winthrop Eagles.
Winthrop has been the master of the close one in the quarter and semifinals with both wins coming by a grand total of three points following an 80-79 decision over North Carolina-Asheville on Saturday. The offensively minded Eagles led by six at the break and needed every point they could muster despite 58% shooting that was barely enough to top the better long range and foul shooting of Asheville. Keon Moore gave the offense 20 points followed by the duo of Joab Jerome and Keon Johnson with 16 points each while Larry Brown chipped in with ten points and eight rebounds.
Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports
The big question for Coastal Carolina in their semifinal bout with VMI was could they slow down the best scoring team in the land. The answer was yes with their 66-62 decision with the Keydets limited to a mere 28% marksmanship with an 8-31 mark from distance. The Chanticleers responded with 43% accuracy which added up to seven more field goals which was decisive. Josh Cameron was the leading scorer with 17 points with Warren Gillis tossing in 12 while Badou Diagnu and Elijah Wilson netting eleven points apiece with Diagnu hauling in a contest best eleven rebounds. The starting five accounted for all but nine points.
WInthrop is the dog here but I believe they have a chance to win outright.

Scratching Your Head.
"I thought she said she was going to London to be the Queen."
You may be thinking
"I'm sure she said she was going to be at the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace in October, like proper royalty."
You may be scratching your heads because that's what you do when something doesn't quite add up.
"Did she go to the show or didn't she, (scratch scratch) because she sure didn't blog about it and it is exactly the kind of thing she would blog about being the big show off that she is."
Of course it is far more likely that you couldn't give a rat's arse what side of the globe One is on at any given moment, but an explanation is in order in case you do. Give a rat's arse, that is.
The Provider of Loaves with Fishes
a.k.a The Bloke
... seemed to think that a holiday on the other side of the world and a looming book deadline (his own) did not sit happily together in the same month. Frankly One was incapable of restraining the inevitable
"I told you so".
But then what could One do? He is after all One's much esteemed Patron of the Knitted Arts and yes, it is not always all about MOI. Mostly but not always.
origin - Papuan
meaning - Beautiful Flower
meaning after a couple of red wines - Fertile Valley
Where were we? Oh yes. Patience. London. Knitting shows.
Dr Fish-head and The Queen of the Tea Cosies are off to London in March 2011 in time for the Spring Stitch and Craft Show at the Olympia in London instead.
tea cosy exhibition for the show and has scored a spot for talking and telling woolly jokes and doing the knit knit can can and signing books and meeting lots of lovely tea cosy fetishist etc etc so One could not be more happy.
Gawn! You are much happier too aren't you - now that you can stop scratching your head.

That's 37,000 unit's that wouldn't have been sold in Japan without Pikmin 3, add the European sales and you get 40,000 extra Wii U's sold worldwide (not counting the US sales--which should be pretty good as Pikmin is quite popular here--as we don't have them yet). It may not sound like much, but when you consider how bad the Wii U has been doing and how niche Pikmin is, it's pretty good.

Samsung Galaxy S4: "Chasseur d'Images" reviewBy Chasseur d'Images - Wednesday July 24 2013 Mobile Review
Reference Pattern DxOMark
At 20 Lux under tungsten lighting, the white balance is correct and the colors are solid, but the S4 Galaxy defaults to strong underexposure... as is the case for many other smartphones.
At 700 Lux under natural lighting (picture in daylight conditions), the color balance is good. The test scene is rendered very well, even in the face of strongly contrasting subjects. It is outdoors, in bright light, that the S4 delivers the best pictures and maximizes the potential of its 13 megapixel sensor.
Autofocus is fast and accurate both in auto and trigger mode with very few overshooting.
Color shading
Color accuracy
Measurements under controlled laboratory sources indicate a white balance adversely affected by underexposure on everyday subjects, resulting in a brownish rendering. In daylight, the color balance becomes excellent with natural, rich, saturated colors.
Good overall image quality with or without additional light source: nice colors, good exposure and sharp details.
Detail, acutance & visual noise
Highlight details are exceptionally well rendered. Below 100 lux, the acutance decreases and the noise increases. To compensate for this phenomenon, Samsung clearly applies a smoothing of the details and gives an impression of blur on certain textures (hair, leaves...).

National & World Ag News Headlines
U.S. Soy Industry Positive About Chinese Processing Sector
USAgNet - 11/14/2017
The United States soybean industry is very optimistic about the future relationship with the Chinese soybean processing and utilization industries. This was stated by a business official in an interview with Xinhua.
"We expect China's economy to grow, consumers' income to increase and urbanisation to expand," said Paul Burke, North Asia regional director of the United States Soybean Export Council.
Jim Miller, chairman, USSEC, was a member of the delegation accompanying President Donald Trump on his visit to China.
Burke disclosed that the Council has just inked a letter of intent about a deal to purchase soybean with its Chinese counterpart during the visit in Beijing.
"Through participation in this trade mission, USSEC will highlight to both the Chinese and American governments the importance of bilateral trade in soybean," he said.
Burke pointed out that U.S. soybean exports to China generated $14.5 billion in revenue for the country's soybean producers. China also needs soybeans to meet its growing consumer demand for meat and vegetable oil.
Soybean is a staple product China imports from the United States. In the past 35 years, U.S. soybean farmers invested over $150 million in projects that transferred technology and management expertise to modernize China's soy processing, feed manufacturing and livestock, poultry and aquaculture production.

My alarm went off at 6:30am. Today I was finally heading home. I was so tired. We had flown in from Spain that night and did not make it to the house we were staying in Camberwell till 2:00am. I did not make it to bed till about 3:30am as I had to repack my luggage as we left a lot of stuff in London so we would not have to carry it with us to Valencia. Which was just as well as Ryanair has a ridiculous 15kg luggage allowance. The taxi arrived at 7:30am to take my friend and I to Picadilly train station to catch the underground to Heathrow. The taxi was great as we had pre booked it that night and it quoted the fare so you knew exactly what you would be up for.
Once all our stuff was in we were ready to go. I can't believe it after 70 days traveling through Europe I was leaving. The whole thing just seemed to fly past. On the way to Picadilly Station we encountered many road closures. Luckily the cab was equipped with GPS so our driver could try and work out which route to take to get us to the station. This ultimately added about 15 extra minutes to our journey time but at least we got to see the sights of London one last time such as Tower Bridge, The tower of London, Big Ben and Trafalgar Square. London is dead at 7:30 in the morning. The taxi dropped us off at Picadilly Circus. It was kind of fitting that my trip would end here, as this was the first sight we saw 70 days earlier.
We descended below to buy our tickets to Heathrow. The ticket person informed us that the Picadilly line was closed due to engineering works. For us to get to Heathrow we would have to take the Bakerloo line to Paddington Station and catch the Heathrow Express. The Heathrow Express is quicker and usually more expensive that the underground but because of the engineering works we did not have to pay any extra.
Once we arrived at Paddington we made our way to the Heathrow Express which was about to leave. The journey only took about 25 minutes and before we knew it we were at Heathrow. We made our way to the elevators to be taken to the departure level to check in. People were pushing in front of us but we eventually got the elevator just as it closed. I pushed the button for the next one. We were waiting for a while and my friend asked if I had pushed the button. At this point I was very tired and a bit stressed probably from our detour this morning as well as rude people pushing past me and I just snapped and yelled I pushed the F%^Kin button. Everyone around me took one giant step backwards. I didn't believe it, I actually had airport rage.
The check in area of Heathrow Terminal 3 is really quite cramped. I found it to be long and narrow. There were thousands of people checking in. Terminal three would have to be the most exotic terminal at Heathrow. There were carriers from North America, Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East and Europe all checking in passengers. It was a long walk to the Malaysia Airlines counter, which if I remember correctly is next to the Qatar Airways counter. The checkin line was not that long with only about 5 people in front of us but it moved quite slowly as the people in front of us were having some passport issues with their baby.
I am glad we checked in early, as my friend's and my bags were overweight by 5 kilos each. They did not seem too mind and just tagged the bags as heavy and let them through. We had repacked a lot of our stuff into our hand luggage. I had two pieces and my friend had three. The lady behind the counter asked to see what we were taking in the cabin and we held up one bag each and did not show the other bags as the counter hid them. I can't believe that worked. She told us that a gate had not been allocated for our flight yet and to check the boards about an hour before boarding. I looked at our boarding pass and it said boarding time was 10:45am. I thought was crazy as we were not scheduled to depart till 12 noon.
After checking in my friend and I decided to grab a bite to eat. By now a big line had formed at the Malaysia Airlines counter. Much of the line was large school hockey team flying to Malaysia to compete. The food area at Heathrow is crazy. I was going to get a sandwich but the line was too long to pay and the sandwiches did not look at fresh. I opted for Burger King instead and bought some nuggets. Once I had finished we proceeded to immigration. The line went really quickly.
We checked the boards to see which gate we will be departing from but there was no information. The departure area of Heathrow is chaos. There was a lot of building work happening and thousands of people everywhere. It was hard for us to find somewhere to sit. Also the sucky thing is that there are no views airside. I wandered through he duty free shops which some of them were huge but nothing interested me as I was tired and just wanted to get on the plane. At about 10:30am the boards showed that our flight will be departing from gate 31 today. Heathrow have these really great maps that show you where you are and show you how long it would lake to reach your gate. The status of our flight was "go to gate" and the and the map said it would be a 20minute journey.
On the way walking to the gate we finally got some good airside views. I saw an Air Canada 767-300 that was getting ready for departure. As we were approaching our gate I could see through the windows the tail of our plane. As we got closer it came clear that we would not be flying on one of the Hibiscus 747s like we did for our inbound journey. It actually only took us 5 minutes to reach our gate not the 20 minutes the sign was saying. Oh well I guess they do that so people hurry to the gate.
We passed through security at the gate and had our boarding passes checked. I was really worried what they were going to say about the amount of hand luggage we had. But the official's attention was more focused at a lady who had a bag that was too big for carry on luggage and she was not happy being told that it would have to go in the hold. We were one of the first in the departure lounge but it soon began to fill up. We had a good seat that gave us a great view of our awaiting aircraft.

Our aircraft today was a Boeing 747-4H6 registration 9M-MPJ christened Labuan. She was actually the second 747 to be reconfigured in the new First and Business class so she was quite a regular on the Kuala Lumpur London route. The time now was 10:50 and we had a bout a 50min wait to board. By the time 11:40 came the departure lounge was absolutely full. It looked like it was going to be a full flight today. I was thinking they would make a call any minute now for us to board. An announcement came over the P.A. It was our gate agent. He said that "due to the crew bus breaking down our boarding will be delayed until they arrived". There was a big groan in the lounge. It was quite remarkable to have a plane already to go but no crew. At that time some ground crew came around and were collecting strollers from the many parents to put in the hold of the 747.
I did not mind the delay as I knew I would be in that plane for the next 12 and half-hours. Anyway it gave me an opportunity to see the Turkish A310 parked to our left pushback and depart as well as the many United and American 777s arrive and depart. At about 12:30 I saw through the security doors our pilots and cabin crew literally running down the aerobridge to prepare the aircraft for departure. It dawned on me that they would need to hurry as this delay would eat into their duty time. At 1:00pm the first boarding call went out for First, Business class and passengers with special needs and small children to board the aircraft. Whilst waiting our turn to board an Iranian 747-200 registration EP-IAG that pulled into the vacant bay left by the THY A310. Then it was our turn to board. They called the Economy class passenger s to board by row numbers and called up about 10 -15 rows each time. Because we were seated near the front of the economy class section we were one of the last to board the aircraft.

We entered through door 2L and were greeted by the friendly male CSM and a female flight attendant. Malaysia Airlines has a slightly odd configuration for its newly configured 747 aircraft. They seem to only have one row seats, A and B behind door 2L for business class whilst the rest of business class is ahead of door 2L.and 2R. We found our seats very easy. Our seats were just after the front of the wing so we had a good view of the number 4 engine and could see a bit of the number 3. We settled into our seats and I took some photos of the Iran Air 747. And a call came across on the P.A by the CSM asking all ground crew to leave the aircraft, as we were ready for departure. One thing I noticed though was how loud the cabin was. It sounded like the air-conditioning was going full tilt. Also it seemed that one of the air-conditioning units was rattling really loud. I hoped it would settle down during the flight. Even with the delay and the crew rushing to get us underway quickly they still had time to offer us some drinks and hot towels before pushback

The doors were closed and the air-conditioning seemed to be turned down as we began our pushback from the gate. The CSM welcomed us on board and used our KLM flight number as well as this was a KLM code share flight as well. The safety demonstration started to play on our little video screens. Once the engines were all started the air-conditioning was turned back on but it was still rattling quite loudly and it continued to do so for the entire duration of the flight. We began our taxi to runway 09R. During the taxi we had a great view of the incomplete Terminal 5. There were many aircraft parked on the remote stands there including an Air Canada 767,an American 777 and an Air Mauritius A340. The captain came over the P.A and apologized for the delay in departure time and said he would try to make up some time on the flight. He also informed us that our departure would be delayed even more as we were number 6 for departure.

We eventually lined up on 09R and I could see a British Airways 747, two 777s and 767 all waiting for us to take off. We held at runway 09R for 17 seconds and then began our long takeoff roll. Our takeoff roll was 51 seconds. Being on the right hand side of the aircraft I had a fantastic view of terminal four which is dominated by British Airways. Now I have heard some A.Netters in the past discuss how Malaysia Airlines 747-4H6's do this weird shuddering thing just after takeoff. On our outbound leg on 9M-MPD this did not happen but on this flight just after rotation the whole aircraft was shuddering. I have no idea why I have never experienced it before. Our rotation seemed to be very shallow and our flaps were deployed for quite some time. We climbed out quite shallow on the runway heading for 24 seconds and then executed a sharp left-hand turn.

The seat belt sign was soon switched of and the crew began to prepare the lunch service. The skies were clear over England because of our shallow climb profile we some fantastic view s of the English Country side. I switched my PTV to Airshow and saw we were tracking North East towards Amsterdam. Buy the time we had reached the coast of the Netherlands we had reached our cruising Altitude of FL280. The crew came around with headphones and menus and announcement went out saying that in-flight entertainment will be switched on. I was really looking forward to finally relaxing and watching some movies. But after they had switched on the entertainment system we soon discovered that the entertainment guide that they had supplied us was this months but the programming on the system was last month. How annoying, but at least the system was working.

Lunch was served just over an hour into the flight and looking on airshow we were over Berlin and still at FL280. Lunch was so delicious I had tandori chicken. I can't remember what the other choice was. The lady sitting next to my friend in seat 31I was an old Chinese lady. She seemed very frail. I noticed that the stewardess's were fantastic dealing with her and pointed to pictures on a little piece of paper to explain that the choice was chicken or fish. I loved it how then bent down to her level to communicate to her what she would like to drink. I can definitely see why these guys have been voted for so many years in a row, world's best cabin crew by Skytraxx.

After lunch the crew handed out ice cream which was delicious. Can you believe we had a choice of flavors. There was also an announcement that they would be doing the duty free shopping then. I looked through the magazine and decided to buy a Herpa 777 as the Malaysia Airlines ones are very rare and you can only buy them in-flight. When the steward came around I told him what I wanted to buy and he said that unfortunately they were all out of the Herpa 777. Oh well I will have to try again on my connecting flight to Perth. After the meal service I settled down and started playing Tetris. Once I had got board I decided to watch Monster In Law. When that finished I could see it was starting to get dark and according to Airshow we were over Eastern Europe and still flying at FL280. The crews were fantastic and like all my other Malaysia Airlines flights they were walking up and down the aisles with trays of drinks. I decided to try and get some sleep. I awoke a few hours latter to find we were flying over India and we had climbed to FL340. I was quite hungry and paged one of the cabin crew for some peanuts and a Pepsi.

I decided to watch Emperor's New Groove. That movie is so funny. I laughed so much my friend had to keep telling me to be quiet as the rest of the plane was asleep and I kept forgetting as I had my headphones on. I was still hungry and thirsty so I paged the cabin crew again. They came very quickly and told them I was still hungry and thirsty. The steward came back with two cans of Pepsi's with a glass filled with ice, a mountain of candy bars, peanuts and a chicken sandwich. He said that should last you through the rest of the movie. Page us if you still are hungry. Let me tell you that was the best tasting chicken sandwich I have ever tasted. During the movie I saw small flashes out of the corner of my eye. Like our inbound flight we were flying over thunderstorms over India. I put the movie on pause (which is one of the features of AVOD I love) and decided to look at the storm. I love flying over thunderstorms as there are many flashes lighting up the clouds below you some so big they light up the sky.

After watching the emperor's new groove I decided to watch another Disney Classic Sleeping Beauty. I can bearly remember watching this as a kid. By now we were well and truly over the Bay of Bengal. The lights were turned on about two hours before arrival and an announcement came over the P.A that the breakfast service would begin. By now it was starting to get light outside. For breakfast we had a choice of an Omelet or Nasi Lemak which is rice with prawn sambal and a hard-boiled egg. I opted for the Nasi Lemak as I had it on the flight to London and like that flight it was delicious. The crew came around with croissants. It seemed like there were not many takers of the croissants as they did two rounds. Now we were flying over Phuket and following the coast of the Malay Peninsula at FL390. A steward came past and said was I the gentleman who had ordered the Herpa 777. I said yes but I thought they were sold out. But before I could finish he asked for my credit card and handed me a bag with my model inside. Now that was a surprise. By the time we flew adjacent to Penang an announcement was made that we will be making our decent in Kuala Lumpur. A feature presentation was played on the new Kuala Lumpur International Airport and how to navigate through it and to connect to domestic flights as well as a city guide to Kuala Lumpur and a country guide to Malaysia. The destination guides made me wish I was staying in Malaysia longer but I was glad knowing that I would be seeing my family in Perth this afternoon.

There were a few bumps as we descended through some low cumulus clouds. We would be landing an hour behind schedule so the pilots were able to make up about half an hour on the flight. The crew came around to make sure the cabin was secure. We swung onto final approach and the flaps were lowered into their final position and the gear lowered. The crew still had not taken their seats yet. Eventually the seat belt signs came on and they took their seats. There was not much to see out the window on final approach except for many Palm plantations and the odd highway. Touchdown was quite smooth and it seemed like the runway grab us straight away as we decelerated quite quickly. We rolled out on the runway for quite some time.

We eventually turned off the runway and proceeded our long taxi to our assigned gate. The taxi went around the satellite terminal, which gave us some fantastic views of the many aircraft parked there. It seems that Kuala Lumpur International Airport is actually quite busy in the morning but it looks like most of the action seems to be from Malaysia Airlines as their aircraft could be seen everywhere getting ready for their next departure. Whilst taxiing to the gate all the windows on the plane started to fog up very quickly. So my views started to disappear. Whilst we were taxiing the CSM came over the P.A and gave us information about connecting flights because of our delay.
We eventually pulled into gate C3 next to us was a MH744 wearing the Manchester United Sticker. I can't remember the rego though. The plane came to a halt and the seatbelt signs were extinguished. We gathered our things and exited the plane. The crew lined the aisles and wished us a pleasant stay. Once outside the gate I could see a few gate agents holding signs for connecting passengers. I guess these guys will try and sort out affected passengers from us being so delayed. Also I am not sure if this is a co-incidence but our gate was very close to the train linking the international satellite building to the main terminal where the domestic flights at Kuala Lumpur operate. This would allow at least some sort assistance for passengers with really tight connection times. Nice touch by MH is it was done on purpose. Any way my friend and I sped off to find a display screen to try and find which gate our connecting flight to Perth was leaving from as we would need to board it very soon.
Heathrow is chaos. But hey what else would you expect it is only the world's busiest International airport. I don't like it how there is no natural flow like from checkin to boarding but in stead a series of turns and corridors. At least everything is well sign posted. The check in area seems a bit tight. Kuala Lumpur International Airport is fantastic and I would be happy to transit through it any time. Singapore Changi still remains my favorite airport though but only just.
Clean inside and out. The 747-400 is my favorite aircraft so it was a pleasure to fly on her. Pity she was not in the spectacular Hibiscus livery like 9M-MPD who I had the pleasure to fly on from Kuala Lumpur to London. The air-conditioning was very noisy due to the rattling. The 747 seems to ride turbulence very well as it was quite bumpy over India and over the Bay of Bengal. I have no idea about the shuddering on takeoff. It felt like 9M-MPJ was really struggling to get off the ground
Possibly the best I have encountered. They were polite attentive and friendly. I could not fault them. It sucks that these guys work so hard but thanks to marketing, people are more aware of the Singapore girl. I tell people if you liked Singapore Airlines you will love Malaysia Airlines
The best food ever. Great traditional Malaysian Cuisine, The best tasting chicken sandwiches ever. Ice-cream that was not too frozen and was delicious. This has definitely been the flight with the best food I have ever tasted.
Pity the programming was behind schedule but what was on offer was still great. AVOD was fantastic so I could pause the movie if I needed to visit the toilet or switch to airshow to check the flight's progress. I love how you can select what song's you like from their vast CD collection and make your own jukebox selection you can play whilst looking at airshow and gazing out the window.
Absolutely love Malaysia Airlines. They are definitely my favorite airline even though I think their livery does need an update and I am a Qantas frequent flyer. The crew and food were fantastic. I only hope that what ever financial difficulty they are in that it ends soon as these guys (cabin crew) were fantastic and I hate to see bad management lower moral as the front line of Malaysia Airlines really deserves better.

The attempt by some Ron Paul supporters to reconvene the Scott County GOP convention failed on Thursday after the group did not lure enough delegates for a quorum. Only 71 people showed up for the meeting, according to the Quad City Times. The effort was led by Paul backer Michael Elliott and received support from State Central Committee member, and fellow Ron Paul booster, Jeremiah Johnson.
They were upset with how the chairman of the March 10 convention handled some of the proceedings, as well as the delegate selection process. Elliott was selected as an alternate to the district convention. Republican Party of Iowa Chairman A.J. Spiker sent a letter to Scott County delegates and alternates telling them Thursday's meeting would not be valid. Following Thursday's failure, the Paul supporters have given up their plans to usurp the results of convention.
"Without a quorum, there's nothing we can show the court," Michael Elliott told the newspaper. "This leaves us at a dead end."

It's Been a Small Season For the Biggest Giants
Nothing about the Giants' collapse is easy to explain.
In six weeks, the defending Super Bowl champions have gone from being one of the NFL's most feared teams to a hapless collection of crumblebums on the brink of elimination.
The Giants' offense, which ran up 52 points on the New Orleans Saints three weeks ago, has produced just two touchdowns in the past two games combined. The defense, which last month held the highflying...

Not being content with just throwing hops in to my brews, I thought I'd would follow suit and I too would include a fruit addition. I had mentally shelved an idea of adding lemon and cardamon to a future brew, it works so well in cakes, why not a beer? That day had just arrived! To accentuate the lemon I went with my old faithful hop, Sorachi Ace, with a simple 10 minute addition that worked so well with previous beers. To keep things even more simple, I went for a grist consisting of a straight 50-50 split of Wheat and Vienna, 3 kilograms each. So far it looked like this was going to be an easy brewday. To throw in with the hop addition I had the rind of three lemons, along with three whole cardamom pods.
When the brewday arrived I endeavoured not to fall for the same mistakes as my first two brews on this new kit (one day I shall stop referring to it as 'new'). Last brewday I had learned that without some major tweaking, the strike temp calculators I was using weren't going to help me, so I had to rely on my gut instinct. I added two litres of boiling water to the mash tun to warm up the pot whilst I was getting the HTL up to temperature. Knowing how much my mash was out with the previous attempts, I took a punt and bumped the strike temp up to 80°C. I was aiming for a 66°C mash and that's exactly what I got! Hurrah! Something went right!
Everything else went according to plan.
When it came to cooling, this was the first opportunity I'd had to test drive my new copper coil. Even though it has a large footprint, the coil still protruded out of the wort, which was expected as it was built for 50-60 litre batches. Even still, it managed to get 29 litres of wort down to pitchable temperatures within around 30 minutes which I was pleased with and it gave a good indication that it'll handle a 60 litre batch with ease.
I pitched the yeast in at 20°C and set the controller to keep it there for a couple of days, then whacked it up to 23 for a few more days. Taste-wise, there was some definite lemon tones coming through with the Sorachi backing it up with bitterness, but the cardamom was severely lacking. Thankfully I had planned to 'dry hop' with yet more lemon rind and cardamom a few days before bottling, this certainly did the trick! I had worried that the lemon might come through a bit too sharp, like neat lemon juice (or a radler), but thankfully it comes through more akin to a lemon cake, which is kind of what I was looking for. As for the cardamom, it is definitely shining through now, but playing nicely in the same space as the citrus, giving it some extra dimension.
I was in two minds whether to enter this into the Brewdog Homebrew Competition as it was due to be bottled on the morning I was planning to submit my entries, meaning it would be carbing whilst in their possession. Risky I know, but I had nothing to lose, so I entered it and hoped for the best. Thankfully my punt paid off as it actually ended up winning the 'Best Bitters' category, which was basically for any beer between 3.4-5.4%! Result!

Australia's NORTHLANE has released the official music video for its new song "Citizen". The track was recorded in New Jersey by producer David Bendeth (BRING ME THE HORIZON, A DAY TO REMEMBER, PARAMORE).Speaking about the meaning of the song, NORTHLANE guitarist Josh Smith said: "'Citizen' is a song that was written about the First World police state and our willingness to live under the watch of those in power, for their means, while those who blow the lid on it suffer. "Writing this one was quite a mission. We went through five completely different sets of lyrics and the final incarnation of the song was the eighth revision. It took a lot of work, but we are proud of it and beyond excited to share it with you all." "Citizen" is the first new NORTHLANE song to be released following "Intuition", which received its live debut at UNIFY Gathering 2017. NORTHLANE's last full-length studio release was 2015's "Node". A split three-track "Equinox" EP with IN HEARTS WAKE — featuring all ten members of both bands — came out last year. "Node" was the first NORTHLANE to feature vocalist Marcus Bridge, who joined the band after the departure of longtime frontman Adrian Fitipaldes. Adrian left the band unexpectedly in 2014, citing health issues.

ROBBIE Deans has had six seasons as Wallabies coach for a winning record of less than 20 per cent against the All Blacks, the barometer for all Australians.
He cannot continue until the next World Cup and I sense that is the mood in Australian rugby.
Deans is off contract at the end of this year. New Australian Rugby Union boss Bill Pulver has clearly said Deans will finish his term.
The unknown is still big: What will be the timing of the announcement of a new coach?
The next Wallabies coach has to meet that important criteria of success against the All Blacks.
Is it to be South African Jake White or Queensland Reds coach Ewen McKenzie?
In 12 months, Ewen has gone from head coach to director of rugby to retiring director of rugby. It is a planned exit to pursue other options if ever I have seen one.
It's a big call four weeks into the season. Players at the Reds will undoubtedly be a bit taken aback.
Do they play and train to please the present coach or the future boss Richard Graham?
The announcement timing is a tad unusual.
To me, it seems to be a reaction to the continued perception that Ewen was 50-50 on the Wallabies head coaching job.
Now "Link" has raised his hand and said he will apply.
The ARU has to work out what they want from two top-quality contenders to be the next Wallabies coach. McKenzie has won a Super Rugby title, regularly got teams to the play-offs, has built his experience and has important background as a Wallaby himself in 51 Tests.
White has won a World Cup but his teams definitely play conservative rugby.
To me, the big question as to who coaches the Wallabies after Deans is straightforward.
For the two-year countdown to the 2015 World Cup in England, White is the man. He is disciplined, focused and has the desire. Like Ewen, I know Jake has the aspiration of coaching the Wallabies.
McKenzie is the man for the 2019 edition. He is a planner and is patient.
Ewen is 47 so there is plenty of time for him to coach a Test side abroad and come back into the Australian system to guide the Wallabies.
Pulver has a major call to make: instant success versus long-term planning.

Dutch designer, Marloes ten Bhomers' radical shoes beg belief when you see them for the first time. Their highly sculptured lines are far removed from what we think of as shoes. Indeed, some of her designs need a second look just to make sure they are shoes.
"I never let functionality get in the way of exploration," she says.
So far her critically acclaimed work has only been shown in internationally art galleries and museums.
Her designs stretch our views of form and function as well as the use of innovative materials. Her shoes are made from industrial strength carbon fibre, the same material used to make race cars and airplanes. Some of her designs employ her innovative "leather mache†technique of laminating leather strips much like the art of paper mache.
She is currently working on translating her works of art into functional footwear - shoes you can actually walk in. When the ready to wear line is out, you can buy it from her online boutique and turn heads whilst walking down the street.

Updated 5:30 p.m. EST
(Bloomberg) -- Police are conducting a criminal investigation after eight people in a Hollywood, Florida, nursing home died after Hurricane Irma knocked out power to the facility, as millions of utility customers were still without electricity following the storm's sweep through the state.
Three of the victims were found dead at the nursing home and the others died on the way to the hospital or after they arrived there, Hollywood Police Chief Tom Sanchez said at a news conference.
Extremely hot
After getting a call at 4 a.m. Wednesday that someone had died at the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills, police arrived to find it was extremely hot on the building's second floor. In addition to fatalities, they found other residents who were gravely ill.
Dr. Randy Katz, the emergency room medical director at a hospital across the street from the nursing home, said they evacuated 115 patients and at least a dozen are being treated now. "Potentially" more people could die, he said. Victims were suffering from respiratory distress, dehydration and other heat-related injuries.
The state prosecutor and the agency that regulates nursing homes are both involved in the investigation, Sanchez said. Broward County Mayor Barbara Sharief said government officials had requested that power companies prioritize senior citizen communities before the hurricane hit.
Facility not on critical, top priority list
Robert Gould, a spokesman for NextEra Energy Inc.'s Florida Power & Light, said utility representatives had met with Broward County officials in early March. "We worked with them. They identified which facilities were to be critical, top infrastructure facilities," Gould said. "This was not one of them, unlike Memorial Regional Medical Hospital across the street, which is in service."
Broward County Commissioner Nan Rich called FPL's priorities "messed up" and criticized the company's response broadly in the area, according to an Associated Press report. Broward press officials referred calls to Miguel Ascarrunz, director at Broward County's emergency management division, who didn't immediately respond to a phone call seeking comment.
"The elderly depend on us for their care, and it's especially sad when something like this happens," Katz, the doctor, told reporters.
Florida Governor Rick Scott said in a statement he would "aggressively demand answers" on what he called an "unfathomable" situation.

Know someone who is a trailblazer for women in sports journalism and is supportive of AWSM's mission? If so, nominations are open for AWSM's 2016 Mary Garber Pioneer Award.
The nomination deadline is Wednesday, Aug. 19.
Email awards chair Meri-Jo Borzilleri (firstname.lastname@example.com) with your nomination. Include the nominee's name, affiliation and a brief explanation of why you believe this person should be nominated. You may nominate multiple people.
The Pioneer award is presented in recognition for distinguished work in the industry and a commitment to upholding and advancing the values of AWSM.
The award, along with the Ann Miller Award for significant contributions to AWSM, will be presented at the 2016 convention, set for July 28-31 in Miami. The Pioneer Award, AWSM's highest honor, was given to Robin Herman this year.
Since illness kept Robin from Denver, she plans to attend the 2016 convention – so we'll have two Pioneers to fete.
Here's a description of the criteria and process:
Each year since 1999, the Association for Women in Sports Media has honored giants in the field of journalism with the Mary Garber Pioneer Award.
Garber's sportswriting career in North Carolina spanned seven decades (1944-2002), from a time when she was banned from locker rooms to a time when she presided over professional organizations that had excluded women, like the Football Writers Association of America and the Atlantic Coast Sportswriters Association. Garber, who died in 2008, was also one of few to cover black high schools and colleges in the era of segregation.
In 2005, she became the first woman to win the Red Smith Award, the Associated Press Sports Editors' highest honor, awarded to someone who has made major contributions to sports journalism.
Much like Garber, Pioneer award winners have pushed the envelope, stretching themselves and those around them to aim higher and dig deeper.
From the days of breaking through closed locker room barriers to an era of excelling in new media and advanced technology, Pioneers with diligence and passion accept challenges and achieve greatness in the process.
Candidates for the Pioneer Award are nominated by the AWSM membership, and voted upon by the board members and past Pioneer Award recipients. The opportunity to nominate legends and trendsetters — past and present — for the highest honor bestowed upon an industry member should be acknowledged with your full participation.
While candidates need not be current members of AWSM, we ask they be seen as supportive of the organization and its mission: to serve as a positive advocate for women in sports media; to mentor and assist young women entering into sports media and to serve as a watchdog, promoting fair portrayal of female professionals in sports media.
We ask that every AWSM member nominate at least one person who epitomizes the spirit of the award.
Nominations are encouraged from all facets of media: newspapers, online, magazines, television, radio and public relations. Whether it's covering unprecedented territory in new media, building towers of achievement in television, radio, newspapers and magazines, or pushing the industry forward with technology, visuals and more, Pioneer candidates need to be recognized.
Click here to learn more about the Pioneer Award and past recipients.
Finalists will be selected by AWSM's awards committee and then voted by board members and Pioneer winners in late August or early September.

|Wife swapping
Posted by Mr.Cool on November 04, 2005 at 20:12:53
Two couples had gone away for the weekend. The two guys, Jack and Bill, have decided to try to persuade their wives to do a bit of partner swapping for the night. After several drinks that night they succeed.
Jack knows it's that time of the month for his wife and the thought of Bill not knowing this makes him smile.
The guys agreed that when they sit around the breakfast table the following morning, they will tap their teaspoons on the side of their coffee mug the number of times that they did it with each other's wives.
The next morning they are all at the breakfast table, slightly hung over and quite uncomfortable, when Jack proudly taps his teaspoon 3 times against his coffee mug.
After a brief moment of thinking, Bill takes his teaspoon and taps it once on the strawberry jam and 3 times on the peanut butter!

John had found that neutral was the best tone when talking with Patricia. If you spoke with any emotional inflection, she would frequently deride what you said, though with a pasted-on smile or chuckle. Or she would take the antonymic tone or mood that you expressed, or the converse thought or opinion. And there were several instances where she reversed previous opinions, having lost track of them.
Soon after knowing her, John began to watch what he said around her, and how he said it, for she enjoyed baiting and goading him and other coworkers. He tried to respond as colorlessly as possible. A noncommittal "Hmm," worked well, especially because it frustrated her.

Fri 21 - Sun 23 July
This just in!
The Tramlines team are delighted to have added the legendary George Clinton to the Tramlines bill, alongside a whole host of new additions.
Joining an ever-growing list of true musical icons to have graced the Tramlines stage, the p-funk pioneer will bring his Parliament Funkadelic Mothership to the Tramlines Main Stage.
His inimitable stage show will appear on Saturday 23rd July, alongside the likes of Kelis,Young Fathers and Dawn Penn, amongst others.
Having been sampled by the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac and Primal Scream, and with a career spanning 60 years, George Clinton is cited as one of the foremost innovators of funk.
Also joining the bill are indie trio The Enemy, who will headline the Leadmill on Friday 22 July in what will be one of their very last shows, following the recent announcement that the band will split after their autumn tour. Expect a farewell set punctuated with hit singles that have sold over a million copies around the world.
Meanwhile experimental, psychedelic alt-rocker Jane Weaver and much-feted leftfield indie-pop outfit Teleman both join the bill for the Folk Forest, set in the beautiful Endcliffe Park, alongside Field Music, C Duncan, Gwenno and more.
City Hall's experimental rock lineup has also been released, with Ipswich five-piece Basement headlining the majestic Grand Ballroom venue, alongside Norwegian alt-rock group Shining,Black Peaks, Yndi Halda and more.
Festival-goers will be able to catch a few new additions at the Cathedral, with U.S. pysch outfitMoon Duo (Sanae Yamada and Wooden Shjips' Ripley Johnson), psychedelic pop act Beaty Heart and local fuzz-pop band Toucans joining the bill.
As ever, there's a ton of emerging talent to explore, with Zuzu (who so impressed at Tramlines' sister festival Outlines in February that they've been invited back by the team), Holy Esque (hot from appearing at SXSW), Sheffield experimental artist Saif Mode and brand-new band Clay all joining the bill, while indie outfit Little Comets return for their third Tramlines.
Head to the lineup page to see all artists announced so far.
There'll be another announcement coming on Tuesday 12th April, with a ton of dance and electronic acts being added, so keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter for the latest.
