Am and Julien-Exhibition Topics updated
We are continuing on our task of asking people about their choices of topics for the upcoming Exhibition. We used the same question of 'if the Exhibition was tomorrow, what topic would you choose?' but this time we added a sentence before saying a question and it is 'remember last time we asked you about your exhibition topic? Well we are updating so did you change your mind of stay the same?'
This time most people took slightly longer to think and we reminded them of their old topic, so they got the question quickly after a reminder.
The results were…
Shikhar-Illegal Immigrants
Paula-Framed Photography on the NIST campus
Sae-Yeon, Ken-Water Shortage and problems
Jin, Anirudh, Yea-chan-pollution
May-Homeless people
Odette, Manisha-Plastic waste
Jon, Johan-Beggars
Pimboon- Flooding
Samantha-Photography on Positive and Negative nature
Gabi-Photography on how Thai peoples' lifestyle and Thailand's Nature
Terrie, Am-Rubbish in Thailand
Aayush- Children's' rights
Paul, Julien- Kids on Sukhumvit (window wiping, homeless, etc.)
Michael-Kids education in Thailand
Pin-Kids in poverty's Education
Again we would to raise up a conversation to make it interesting and we would like to see the reasons of your topic…
1. Did you change your topic? Why/Why not?
2. How did you come of your topic?-have you always had the passion of it?
3. Why do you think that you would want to work with the topic you chose and what issues are in your topic?

Homework: Publishing Writing About Kanchanaburi
You have many choices of ways to write and present your writing. To help you make your choices, I will give you a list of questions.
What do you want to write about? What moments, experiences and conversations were important for you? What responsibilities do you have when you write?
Who do you want to write with? Of course, you can work alone, but you also have the option to collaborate with other people in a number of ways.
Who are you writing for? Who is your audience?
Why are you writing? Why is it important to know the reason you're writing?
How will you use writing to express what you want to say? How will you make sure people will want to read your writing? How will you get your writing read by other people?
For homework, today, spend some time brainstorming answers to these questions and then make a comment to tell us what you're thinking. Read the questions very carefully and put some good thought into how you will answer them.
What world are you in this week?
Ms. Jennifer says that when you read you "enter the world" of the book. Tell us all about the book you're reading by:
- Describing the world in the book
- Describing the feeling of the book
- Describing the people in the book
- Giving us details that help us understand the world you enter when you read the book
Don't tell us the story.

Who we are
This is the central idea of our next unit:
"The changes and challenges we face as we grow help us to understand who we are."
We will be looking at this central idea using the concepts of function, change and responsibility.
These are the lines of inquiry:
- Physical and emotional changes during puberty
- Coping with challenges
- Changes in responsibility
Discuss all of this with some people at home, such as parents and older brothers and sisters, and then make a comment to answer these questions:
- What do you think this unit will be about?
- What do you think it should be about?
- What do you think it should not be about?

PowerPoint From Thursday Night's Camp Briefing:

Camp Packing List :
Boundaries and Friendship
Ms. Ashley and the students discussed what is meant by "our boundaries" and what happens when people "cross the line" or "go over the limit".
They worked on the case-studies where they had to read different situations and then decide if someone in the situation has crossed a boundary.
Here's some examples:
Josh's coach hugs him for a really long time: The students thought this was not appropriate. The hug is fine, but "for a long time" is crossing a boundary.
Jose's teacher cries on his shoulder and tells him about her problems: The students thought that the teacher was a bit immature and that it would be really "weird".
Kendra and Alisa are best friends. Kendra tells Alisa about her parents' divorce: The students had different opinions about this one, some felt that a boundary had been crossed and some didn't. Ms. Ashley said that sometimes it depends on people's personalities.
Tiffany tells Kim a secret that Maria told her: Samantha described that as a "violation"!
The conversation then moved on to touching. The students shared examples of "good touching" such as: a hug, a high-five, holding hands, leaning on someone nicely, kissing someone in your family, a gentle pat on the back, a touch on the arm. The students then shared examples of "bad touching" such as: a punch, a push, a kick, scratching, touching someone's private parts.
Bossiness vs. Leadership
What is the difference between being bossy and being a leader?
Make a comment to explain your ideas.
6GD have been blogging about this question too, have a look: http://blogs.nist.ac.th/6gd/2010/09/17/leadership-verses-bossiness/#comment-900

Head South for the Winter
Not even eggnog and mistletoe can cancel out gray skies, so don't feel bad about packing up your Christmas cheer and taking it to the beach.
Puerto Rico
If you want to shed a few layers of warm wool but don't want to forget the true meaning of the season, the island of Puerto Rico could be your safe haven. Get your beach fix, trek through El Yunque Rain Forest and spend a little time in Old San Juan. Experience new sights and sounds without completely leaving Christmas behind thanks to a mixture of spirituality, island- style festivities and modern accents. Nochebuena (Christmas Eve), typically the largest day for feasting and festivities, will provide the chance to try lechon asao (roast pig), pastels (dough filled with meat and wrapped in banana leaves) and coquito, the traditional holiday beverage made with coconut milk and rum. Sounds like the right recipe for a well-rounded holiday.
Avoid standard commercialism and enjoy the gifts of island beauty instead. Visit a landmark that puts others to shame (Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Botanical Gardens, The Hana Highway just to name a few…) and set yourself up in comfortable accommodations that give you easy access to the warm sand those mainlanders will be missing. Many holiday travelers bring a few decorations, but the beaches should be enough to put you in a celebratory mood. You'll soon see palm trees, fusion dinners and the hula make for a very merry holiday.
Florida Keys
Maybe you'd prefer to stay in the lower 48 but are still very much inclined to feel the sand beneath your toes come Christmas morning. The Florida Keys don't require a passport or a winter coat, and spending a holiday here can be whatever you want it to be. This place is known for being independent-minded and colorful to the extreme, so dress up in a Santa suit if that's what floats your boat, because no one's going to judge (although, with highs in the 70's and lows in the 60's, you might be more comfortable in T-shirts and sandals). Happy hour, sunset shenanigans at Mallory Square and frequent art festivals make every day a celebration, so it's no stretch to find that Christmas in the Keys equals fine holiday fun.
Truly get out of town this holiday season and hit the Bahamas, a place well-equipped to cancel out the winter doldrums. A tension-free romantic getaway or a family trip out to prove that Christmas doesn't have to be all about stress and stocking stuffers will be the resulting benefit of this island adventure. Play it cool by hanging out on the beach and ditching all time-keeping devices, but do remember one thing: December 26 marks the day of Junkanoo, an incomparable Bahamian celebration with colorful costumes, music and dancing. In addition to enjoying some quality beach time, expanding your world view makes choosing to get out of town an excellent decision.
Helpful Holiday Beach Tips
Plan Ahead
Book flights and make rental reservations several weeks in advance. You know you want to escape the weather and stress that late December usually piles upon you, so stop putting it off and just take the non-traditional plunge.
Don't Wrap
If you're doing the gift thing, don't waste your time with bows and paper. With airport security being what it is these days you might have to re-do a pretty wrapping job, so consider waiting or just going natural.
Escape Delays
Because ice and snow tend to cause snarls at busy airports like Chicago and Detroit, try to take a flight that routes through a southern hub and go direct if possible.
Get Cozy
We're creatures of habit, so bringing a few special items (decorations, snacks, whatever) along might make you feel more at home. Consider it the holiday equivalent of a security blanket.
Be Thankful
Come Christmas morning you might feel a little guilty to be greeted with ocean breezes rather than brisk winds, but don't let your conscience bring you down. You chose to do it differently, and that's a good thing.

The death of the Forked River man who was electrocuted while on the job for Jersey Central Power and Light (JCP&L) has been ruled an accident, officials said.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office announced its findings on Saturday, one day after on Friday morning.
After CPR was performed on Grande, he was transported by ground to CentraState Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, Monmouth County Director of Investigations Marc LeMieux previously said.
The Prosecutor's Office simply looks at the criminality involved in the incident, First Assistant Prosecutor Richard E. Incremona said. Although there was no indication of a crime, Grande's file is not closed. The underlying cause of the accident will be investigated by outside agencies.
JCP&L employees are well trained, spokesman Todd Schneider said. Grande, an apprentice lineman, had graduated from Brookdale Community College in 2012, where he studied at FirstEnergy's Power Studies Institute.
"We focus on safety on the job every day. This was just a tragic accident," Schneider said. "We're deeply saddened by the loss of our coworker. Our prayers are with the family."
Schneider could not comment on the accident due to ongoing investigations by county and federal officials. He added that JCP&L is conducting a comprehensive investigation to determine exactly what the situation was that caused the incident.
as a "good friend, "great guy" and the "best neighbor," according to posts on Facebook.
Johnny Uveges said Grande was not a friend but family.
"To sum it all up, Rich was a down to earth simple man enjoying every day as if it was his last. There was not one bad bone is his body. Always a smile on his face. All around great friend! Always helping everyone out," Robert Diego Schedeman said on Facebook.
"Mamma Grande," who has now taken over posting on Rich Grande's Facebook page, said he will be an "unique angel."
A 2010 Lacey Township High School graduate, Grande received a gold letter in track and field, according to his obituary. He also was an avid hockey fan, was captain of the International Junior Hockey League Trenton Habs and was certified to coach.
"When Richard wasn't playing hockey, he loved spending time with his friends and family. Richard's smile and infectious laugh lit up every room he was in," the obituary said.
Grande also enjoyed big trucks, country music, fishing, boating and hunting, the obituary said.
Lacey Township School District counselors will be available to aid students in the grieving process from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Contact the high school at 609-971-2020 for more information.
He is survived by his parents Thomas and Angela Grande of Lacey, and his brother Johnathan. He also leaves his grandmother, Mary Ann Crispin of Toms River; his aunts and uncles, Nick and Lisa, Vinny and Carol, Mike and Liz, Marlene and Jose, Teresa and Kevin, Barbara and Rocco, and Charles and Marybeth; his cousins; Tracy, Mark, Karen, Jennifer, Christopher, Samantha, Matthew, Michael Thomas, Christopher, Scott, Elizabeth, Ashley, Brianna, Nicky, and Tommy. Richard is predeceased by his grandparents, Betty and Armel Pinsonneault and Richard C. Crispin.
Visitation for Grande will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Silverton Memorial Funeral Home at 2482 Church Road in Toms River. His burial will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday at St. Pius the Tenth Parish in Forked River.
Grande's obituary asks for people to arrive at the funeral home at 8:30 a.m. Cremation will be private.

A spokesperson for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office told 12News that a woman whose body was found in Jefferson County Friday has been identified as a missing Crosby, Texas woman.

Most every little girl grows up believing she is a princess, as well she should. Thus it is very common for a bride to say she wants to feel like a princess on her wedding day. When my daughter began to plan her wedding she had always been a little princess and so a fairy tale themed cake was a must. Together she and I created a cake scene that touched on the heart of the Cinderella story. The couple in love, a castle, a horse and coach and of course, the blue glass slippers!
The cake itself is in the classic style with butter cream icing and a pillared top cake. The tiers are petal shaped with shimmery blue fondant ribbon and pearl border detailing. To further accentuate the petal detail, fondant pearl drops are used featured along each petal indent. The gum paste white roses are left a snowy velvet while the blue and green accented hydrangea petals have a shimmer of silvery blue and are accented with pearl centers. The ivy has been hand painted and accented and softly reflect the light.
The cake is presented on an ornate silver cake stand with a bracket of white roses and hydrangeas accenting the table directly in front of the main cake. The top tier features a groom holding his bride in his arms while they lovingly look into each other's eyes. Custom detail was done to the bride and groom topper in order to replicate the exact features of my daughter and her husband. Beneath the top tier a gum paste bouquet has been created with tulle accents and soft twinkling white lights. Beneath the silver stand additional white lights twinkle and illuminate the table beneath the cake.
There are three satellite cakes. The first on the left features a white castle that shimmers in a glittery show with pearl accents. The center of the castle is illuminated which causes the turrets to have a soft glow. The middle satellite cake is the classic pillow on which the glass slipper was presented to Cinderella in order to prove she was the special lady the prince has fallen in love with at the ball. These blue glass slippers at my daughter's wedding reception were special in that they are an heirloom that had belonged to my daughter's paternal great grandmother. The right satellite cake features a white horse and carriage which also is illuminated from within.
At the evening reception candles were set aglow on the table surrounding these Cinderella Inspired Wedding Cakes so that all the wonder of the fairy tale sparkled for all to remark saying, "…And They Lived Happily Ever After".

Biological carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a species that can exist in a habitat indefinitely without threatening other species in that habitat. Factors such as available food, water, cover, prey and predator species will affect biological carrying capacity. Unlike cultural carrying capacity, biological carrying capacity cannot be influenced by public education.
When a species exceeds its biological carrying capacity, the species is overpopulated.

Larry Hagman Exits the Scene
Texas Film Hall of Fame member dies in Dallas
Marjorie Baumgarten, 11:59am, Sat. Nov. 24, 2012
Larry Hagman, the man who was best-known as the iconic scoundrel, J.R. Ewing, died on Friday in Dallas from complications of cancer at the age of 81. His wife of 60 years, Maj Axelsson, was by his side, as were his Dallas castmates, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray, from the original show and its new TNT revival.
Dallas was in the midst of shooting its second season, and it's unclear at this point what story adjustments will need to be made to compensate for the actor's passing. According to The Hollywood Reporter, six of the show's 15 episodes for the second season have already been shot in preparation for the show's planned January premiere on TNT.
The Texas-born Hagman was inducted as a member of the Texas Film Hall of Fame in 2009. He is pictured above at the event with Linda Gray, who played his long-suffering wife Sue Ellen on both incarnations of Dallas, and presented him with the award at the induction ceremony.

Chinese New Year 2 Feb 2011
You're aware that Chinese New Year is 3 Feb 2011, right?
re: ahack
I think maybe zenim was talking about how it's traditional to have the big CNY's feast the night before the first day of New Year's? Can't be sure.
But I am wondering if, unless a restaurant advertises it outright about a week before, they're saving up their special food and cooking for a staff and/or family celebration for themselves that night.

NJIT Alumna Travels To Haiti To Evaluate Safety of Buildings
An NJIT alumna of Haitian ancestry, who returns summers to teach in NJIT's Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), has just returned from a 10-day visit to Haiti. Mechanical engineer Darlene Clovis, who works at Picatinny Arsenal, flew to Haiti with Engineers Without Borders to evaluate the safety of buildings. Clovis, of East Orange, received both her bachelor's (2004) and master's (2006) degrees from NJIT.
Her team consisted of structural engineers and seismic experts. They worked in the northern Haitian town called Cap-Haitien, as well as in Port-au-Prince. Many buildings are still standing, but some are seriously damaged, she said.
(ATTENTION EDITORS: Contact Sheryl Weinstein, 973-596-3436 to arrange interviews. This would make a great finale to your Black History Month coverage.)
"It was our job to rate the buildings' structural soundness," Clovis said. "If we gave the owner a green card that meant his house was fine. A yellow card meant the building had some problems and a red card meant the building was a danger zone. Most of the houses were in good shape, but some got yellow and red cards. I'm a biomedical engineer who works now as a mechanical engineer, so I enjoyed doing a different kind of engineering. Engineers need to be versatile, and this work taught me something new."
Clovis said that her group taught the Haitians basic building techniques to repair houses. "They were very happy and grateful for that. They are thankful to be alive," she said.
Her observations included the following:
- It made me very happy to help. My parents came to America a year before I was born and I spoke Creole as a girl. I also have grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins still living in Haiti. I met with only a few of them when I was there, because I was working. But I love the Haitian people. They are very brave and happy and thankful for anything you do for them. I loved helping them with their houses. My relatives are OK, but we did lose a little cousin. I don't know how exactly he died; I didn't have the heart to ask.
- You often see Haitians crying and screaming on the news. No one was like that. They were happy and grateful for our help. They are also skeptical of America, because in the past U.S. governments have supported Haitian dictators. They want to know that America plans to help them, not hurt them. They trusted me when I was there. I told them that they could trust us, that we were there to help them. That put them at ease.
- I was very happy at NJIT. I was in EOP and the Albert Dorman Honors College. EOP was a huge help when I was a student, especially director Tony Howell, who I consider a second father. Most EOP students feel the same way about him. The staff at the Honors College was also so supportive. And the Honors College gave me a generous scholarship. I graduated debt-free. I worked as a teacher's assistant during the EOP summer boot camp. That's why I teach math during the summer to EOP students.

Found out today that I will be pick number 4 in our department Fantasy Football league. These are my co-workers so there is a great need to smoke them all. [Wink]
Its a snake draft so after 4 I have 21. Ugh. The league is with CBS Sportsline which gives 6 pts for ALL TD's, there is no PPR, and we get 2 RB and 3 WR on the starting lineups. 2 RB (instead of 3) may be good news considering the long gap between rd 1 and rd 2 for me.
For pick number 4 I will probably get to choose between LJ, Gore, Addai, or Alexander depending on how the first 3 go down.
Here is my dilemma. By the time I go in rd. 2 it may be QB time. I normally wouldnt grab a QB this early but the 6 pt passing TD's gives them higher value. Now I could wait 7 more spots (rd 3-28) to grab my QB and get my second runner at 21. Im sure my decision will be made on whats available but I know I want a top 5 QB considering their value in this league.
My other fear is the gap between rd 3 (28) and rd. 4 (45). If I grab a running back at 21 or 28 then I have a long wait before choosing my #1 WR. Since I have to fill 3 WR to start, should I go RB/RB/QB, RB/QB/RB or RB/QB/WR?
Another variable is that we get 9 starters (QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, D/ST, K) and only 5 on the bench. So for my bench I was thinking of aiming for 2 RB, 2WR, and a handcuff QB. How does that sound?
I understand that a lot will depend on what is available at the time but these guys play every year so they know the ins and outs of Fantasy Football. So lets assume the draft order will go like most projections.
Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading and helping out!

Public Sector Banks
Hiking capital: PSBs averse to floating perpetual bonds
C. Shivkumar
Bangalore , Dec. 14
PUBLIC sector banks are disinclined to float perpetual bonds for long-term capitalisation and have instead favoured preference or non-voting shares.
The proposal to raise capital in the form of perpetual bonds was mooted by the Reserve Bank of India for raising tier one capital.
Sources said that banks would require alternatives to raise Tier I capital since Government holding in some of the banks have already reached 51 per cent.
These banks are, therefore, not in a position to raise their equity capital, since it would entail dilution of government holding below the threshold.
Accordingly, alternative forms of capital raising would be required in the form of hybrid capital.
Bankers said that perpetual bonds were the least attractive of options. Perpetual bonds are open-ended fixed income instruments. Perpetual bonds were used during the 1980s for recapitalisation of public sector banks and were discontinued since 1994. Some of the banks that returned capital to the Government have already shed these perpetual bonds.
Such instruments fitted as Tier I capital in view of the fact that they had no maturity date.
Bankers said that few investors would be interested in this kind of a fixed income instrument. This was because the instruments were illiquid. The only way to make them attractive was to offer high coupon rates, though this, would in turn, escalate the cost of the capital.
Instead, bankers said that they would prefer to float preference shares with low coupon rates with long tenure maturity dates 20 years and above as an alternative to perpetual bonds, with some exit options for investors.
One banker said, "This is preferable, since they could be offered at coupons close to the Tier II bonds being raised now." Besides, the option of conversion could also be considered at a future point of time. Currently, conversions cannot be specified in the preference shares especially for banks, since it would again result in the dilution of Government capital.
However, in the long run this could be made possibleat premium pricing if the Government were prepared to bring in its share to ensure its stakeholding, the bankers said.
Alternatively, bankers said, they had also proposed non-voting shares with slightly higher dividend rates. This was a preferable option, since it would help the Government maintain its stakeholding in banks and also ensure liquidity for the investors.
The inability to raise Tier I capital also automatically limited the quantum of Tier II capital that could be raised by the banks. This was especially in the case of banks that have already reached the limit of 51 per cent. Current regulations limit the size of Tier II capital to 50 per cent of Tier I. Some flexibility has been extended, since the investment fluctuation reserve becomes part of Tier I capital effective from next year onwards.
However, bankers said that if the current pace of credit growth were to be sustained, additional capitalisation would be required in "whatever or whichever way necessary."

and students played a basketball game in front of a packed gymnasium at on Wednesday. The game was part of both school district's special athletic program – the Pioneer League, which is part of the Special Olympics program.
"I see the youth and the improvement of their skills and I can see they have a better feeling of themselves," said John Martin, Lakeland's Pioneer League coach.
Students in the program throughout the school year. They play four sports – soccer, volleyball, basketball, and floor hockey. Practices and competitions are held weekly from September to May.
The program at Lakeland was founded during the 1991-91 school year by a grant through Reader's Digest with the entire concept being to have individuals with intellectual disabilities compete in interscolastic sports just as their peers do.
Lakeland students are coached by now-retired physical education teacher, John Martin and his assistant coach Elinor Brown. Yorktown students, who have their own program for the first time this year, are coached by Dennis Daria.
Hudson Valley is one of several regional offices for Special Olympics New York and there are currently 12 teams, with Yorktown being the latest addition. The Pioneer League is the only program in the state that has a league of this nature, according to Ellen Pikula, director of programs at Special Olympics New York.

According to the website for Special Olympics New York, which is the largest program of its type in the U.S. serving more than 55,000 athletes with more than 31,000 volunteers, the goal of their events are to give children with intellectual disabilities, "continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy, and participate in a sharing of skills and friendship with their families, Special Olympics athletes and the community."
Through their participation in Special Olympics New York athletes gain confidence and build a positive self-image, which carries into the classroom, the home, the workplace and the community.
"These kids have always had a dream of being a part of a varsity team," Martin said and added that now that dream has been realized because the kids can participate in sports through the program.
"They feel more part of the school," he said, as other students and parents often attend their games and cheer them on. "It's a sense of pride that they are part of the school. They feel accomplished."
If it wasn't for some of the high school volunteers who come out to coach the special needs kids, the program wouldn't be the same.
"They really bond with the kids and it carries over in school," Martin said, referring to the students who often help out their special needs classmates. "It's great."
Martin, who was a teacher at the Lakeland school district for 32 years, said he wants to make sure that everyone has a chance to play out on the court and participate. Often, the athletes themselves would look after their teammates – and even athletes on the other team. If someone is not making a shot, or has not made one in a while, the kids would step out and give that person a chance.
"That's what's amazing about them," he said.
Yorktown coach Dennis Daria said the kids like to shake hands and mingle with each other because at the end of the game, the experience was more important than who won the game.
"Having fun and just participating is the name of the game," said John Leslie, a teacher at Lakeland. "In fact, if you want to see the best example of textbook sportsmanship just show up to a Pioneer game. You'll see players giving up the ball to a teammate for a depth of interaction that the average person might not be able to fathom."
For game highlights and student interviews, check out the video posted with this story.
Members of the Yorktown Pioneer League are: Amanda Diana, Vicki Zupa, Josiah O'Brien, Michael Corrado, Melissa Schlanger, Rosy Cheng, Kayla Morris, Crescent Mascarhenas, Evelyn Saavedra, Samantha Fredericks and Anthony Marasevic.
Members of the Lakeland Pioneer League are: Rene Alvarez, Kelsie Collins, Beth Davis, Katie Del Monaco, Ed Garcia, Allison Griffith, Alyse Mackey, Rox Mackey, James McParatian, Michael Pabon, Chloe Riccion, Eric DuVal, Tyler Rodriguez, Kayla Capello.

Here are some pics of the 1/24 Monogram Chevy Luv High Roller kit. Just like the other kits in the High Roller series from Monogram, this one was given a taller stance via lifted suspension and big off-road tires, with the Luv's tires being Goodyear Tracker ATs:
Little attempt was made to provide an accurate, lifted suspension in this kit, as the front shocks would measure about about three feet tall on the 1:1 truck. I can't knock Monogram too much though, 'cuz this little truck looks pretty beefy on the box top:
Parts count and assembly both appear to be typical of early '80s Monogram kits, with a simplified V8 underhood, an accurate (though customized) body, and lots of crisply molded parts. I especially like the eight-spoke 'wagon' wheels (possibly Jackman?) and how well they work with the Goodyear Tracker AT tires. Unlike many of the other High Roller kits which included massive 44" Ground Hawg tires, these are more proportionate to the vehicle's size. The front airdam is a bit silly and the sidepipes even sillier (though accurate for the time), but the bed-mounted light bar (I dare not refer to it as a roll bar) with four large KC Highlights-knockoff lights hints at the the truck's off-road potential...until you see the rainbow stripes and "BOUNCE" graphics.
It's an interesting kit with lots of potential, and it's highly unlikely we'll ever see it re-issued, so if you get a chance to grab one, do so.
The cab and bed:
Chrome parts:
Goodyear Tracker AT tires- note that these are not the same as the Tracker AT tires found in the Monogram Chevy Blazer and Ramcharger kits:

To reduce the use of tobacco products in Bartholomew County.
Tobacco use remains the single-most avoidable cause of death in our society. Cigarette smoking is responsible for nearly one in five deaths in the United States. The Tobacco Awareness Action Team, a dedicated group of community volunteers, has initiated several smoking cessation programs since its inception in 1996 to reduce the use of tobacco products in Bartholomew County, especially among children who need to be educated on how to quit smoking.
Columbus businesses are now largely smoke-free as a result of the team's work. The Tobacco Awareness Action Team has worked with local government and employers to ensure smoking cessation classes and information on quitting smoking is widely available and supported by the community. The team has also worked as a resource for other communities in their efforts to implement smoke-free workplaces and community spaces.
Beginning July 1, 2012 nearly all public places in the state, including restaurants and other workplaces, will be smoke-free. To read more about Indiana's statewide smoke-free air law visit www.breatheindiana.com.
The Tobacco Awareness Action team supports and promotes the Indiana Tobacco Quitline. Training, educational materials, awareness campaigns, and smoking cessation support are among the activities provided to help quit smoking. Group tobacco cessation programs are offered periodically throughout the year. For more information, call 812-379-4927. A participant fee of $35, which includes the cost of materials, will be taken at the first class. Classes are limited to 20 participants.
The action team has been very successful in significantly reducing teen tobacco usage. High school smoking rates dropped from 23.2% in 2006 to 18.37% in 2008. Since 2000, high school smoking rates have dropped 42% and middle school smoking has been cut 58%. This has been accomplished by providing smoking cessation educational programming for all 6th grade classes and supporting "Kick Butts Day" and High School Heroes presentations in the elementary schools which helps quit smoking by discussing the dangers of smoking.
The Indiana Tobacco Quitline is available to help. This FREE telephone-based quit tobacco resource is available to all Hoosiers 18 years and older. Simply call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or 1-800-784-8669 from 8 a.m. to midnight, 7 days a week or visit the Quit Now Web site for more information.
When you call the Indiana Tobacco Quitline, you will talk with a trained Quit Coach who can help develop a customized quitting plan. Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW to free yourself of tobacco and quite smoking today.

From the Pharmalot blog yesterday, Big Pharma is facing the dual problem of emptying pipelines and rising costs for developing new drugs - largely from increasing costs of doing trials. Why? There is increasing competition for trial sites and clinical research organizations that can yield reliable, high quality data, according to a recent survey of 21 drugmakers, 12 biotechs, nine device makers and 23 contract research organizations.
Those surveyed pointed to higher costs for enrolling patients, higher vendor fees and expenses for recruiting trial sites, and technology costs. Staffing for drug development is also rising. Phase IV staffing increased by 85 percent from 2008 to 2011, while Phase IIIa doubled. Phase IIIb staffing rose 57 percent, Phase II staffing jumped 106 percent and Phase I staffing spiked 108 percent.
Average per-patient trial costs across all therapeutic areas, in Phase I, costs rose from $15,023 in 2008 to $21,883 in 2011. In Phase II, the cost rose from $21,009 to $36,070. In Phase IIIa, the cost increased from $25,280 to $47,523 and in Phase IIIb, cost jumped from $25,707 to $47,095. Finally, Phase IV expenses rose from $13,011 to $17.042.
"Everybody is working hard to control those costs. The biggest thing on the horizon is trying to get a handle on earlier go-no-go decisions," Cutting Edge chief operating officer Adam Bianchi tells us. "The competition for quality sites is creating a lot of headaches. You have a greater number of sites worldwide than ever before, but not all are yielding quality data that companies want.
So we not only can't find enough new drugs, but we are also having trouble finding quality sites to cost-effectively test them. More cheery news from the drug development front.

Personal Computer Networks Set Up: What Types Of Wire You Have To Know
Computer network normally use a LAN cable for its transmission media. Before having a computer network, we must know about the lan cable and how to use it. An excellent computer networks design is the primary requirement to make computer network so it is easily maintained and dependable. Understanding the LAN cable can be very handy. Below are some kinds of cables utilized in the Internet network:
Coaxial LAN wire
This is an old cable systems which is used in Ethernet 10Base2 and 10Base5. Other terms of 10Base2 is is thicknet and other term of 10Base5 is thinnet mainly because it uses slimmer cable.
Ethernet coaxial wire types found in the lan network is very popular in the past. This wire could be laid along 500 meters for a single network section. Coaxial wire is pretty costly and can only transmit data at speeds of 10Mbps. The cable is then much less popular compared to UTP cable.
Why should an organization take into account putting in an ethernet cable extender rather than a repeater? Here we check out reasons for picking the extender over the repeater.
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) and STP (Shielded twisted pair)
Two of these cables possess an identical shape. But UTP is much more popular. This wire contains 4 pairs of wires twisted around one another with unique color codes and wrapped in plastic.
Have you been researching to invest funds in a network bandwidth monitoring software program for your commercial enterprise or perhaps for your home? In case you are well then there are a variety of factors you would like take into consideration before you decide to put in anything.
UTP wire with an excellent twist reduces interference, attenuation and cross talk. The max length of UTP wire that can be used is 100 meters. If more than that then the transmission will be weakened.
Cat5e UTP wire can be used for data transmission with rates up to 1 Gbps. Cat5e wire has a much more twist and much better nylon isolation. So the quality of UTP cable can be determined from the amount of twisting.
Cisco provides an enterprise-wide methods structure that helps companies to protect, improve, and build the infrastructure that supports their enterprise processes.
Kinds of UTP Cables
1. UTP Cat 1 is used for phone network
2. UTP Cat 2 that has a speed of 4 Mbps can be used for token ring network
3. UTP Cat 3 with rate of 10 Mbps can be used for telephone network
4. UTP Cat 4 with rate of 16 Mbps is suitable for token ring networks
5. UTP Cat 5 with a speed up to 1 Gbps is perfect for computer networks
6. UTP Cat 5e with speed up to 1 Gbps have a relatively low interference level therefore it is good for personal computer networks
7. UTP Cat 6 with speed more than 1 Gbps
Identification of UTP Cables
To utilize UTP wire, you must remember the combination of UTP cables to be used. Two standard of UTP cabling employed are:
1. T568A, which is used for straight UTP cable where it has equal cable layout on both ends of the wire.
Having been born well before the arrival of computers, I am at a disadvantage with regards to upkeep and maintenance for my personal computer.
2. T568B, which is used for cross over connection where the layout of wires on both ends using different configuration
How to connect equipments that we use
You may use straight cable to link a PC to a switch. To connect two PCs directly you should use cross-over UTP cable. To make a crossover wire, use network toolkit you have.
Fiber optic
This type of cable is wire with an extremely high speed data so it is ideal for computer network. Fiber optic characteristic are:
Has longer range
Expensive in price
Not vulnerable to electromagnetic interference
May be used at speed of 10 Gbps
Two forms of modes in the fiber optic:
1. Multimode
2. Single mode
Back to the original problem, how to make a computer network for our workplace using our understanding of the wire above? You can use a crossover UTP wire. Crossover wire may be used to connect all the switches. UTP wire may be plug in the trunk port on each switch. Use networking toolkit to do this. While the drop wire is used to connect computers to the switch. You can use a straight UTP cat 5e wire to get maximum outcomes. Maximum wire length is 100 meters. Wall jack is used to connect computers to the switch thus the space will look more nice. Patch panels are used to tidy up the wires used by the switch. With these two things we could make great arrangement of cables. Always use computer network toolkit to arrange the wires.
A lot of us get our networking tools from our Internet Service Provider, Also known as ISP. You know the people who you pay for your internet. Usually, a hopefully good technician comes out, and installs it for you.
You may use this scenario to create computer network in your workplace. For simple maintenance in the future if there is a trouble, you must give numbers on all the cables you use. In addition, you also need to record all of this numbering. You then definitely should also know that the wire has a primary enemy, that is the rat. Rats could eat these cables. You must protect it using cable duct to prevent being eaten by rat.

This is my second batch and I'd to try a simple malt extract beer with the addition of oatmeal flakes for improved body and flavor.
I understand oatmeal flakes can be added with the DME directly to the boil as enzymes present in the DME will convert the oat flakes to sugar.
Question is, when to add the oats? I know adding oats to the last 15-10 minutes of the boil is possible, but should i also add at the start of the boil?
I read that steeping flaked oats is not required as the processing (ie steaming and rolling) makes them readily convertible.
I'd like to keep it simple as I still have the training wheels on, but hoping to use the oats for a little creativity. Below is a list of ingredients I'm planning to use. Any tips are greatly appreciated!
23 L (5 imp gal) batch:
1 kg dark DME
2 kg light DME
0.3 kg brown sugar
0.3 kg oat flakes (or quick oats)
30g northern brewer aa 10.6 @ 60 min
30g cascade usa aa 5.9% @ 5 min
Ale yeast
I'd get a grain bag for the oats, u don't want them floating around loose in ur BK. Also u might wanna toast them too. U can toast them and not get a really roasted flavor, but almost like a chewy biscuity cookie flavor.
Thanks for the toasting tip. I will try this for sure. Do I need to use the grain bag for the oats, or can i strain oats, hops and all when transfering to the primary fermenter... Or would the gummy mess just clog my strainer?
DME won't convert oats- they need to be mashed with a base grain.
If you add them to the boil, you'll be making oatmeal in your wort.
Slightly off topic is there a large difference between the flaked oats you can pick up at the grocery store and what you can get at your LHBS?
Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where youre allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. Its like killing yourself, and then youre reborn. I guess Ive lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now.
~ Charles Bukowski,
...less than a kilo of 2-row
I steeped a 500gr of instant oats when i made a cheap Coopers Wheat and i made a nice porage taste. Very mild mind you, but the taste was there. Also made it very cloudy almost milky looking. Beer turned out pretty good.

Disclosure: My visit was courtesy of Brunetti and Food Pampering
Brunetti is a total Melbourne institution. The first shop opened in Carlton in 1985 (though the current family took over in 1991) and it is now a mini empire, having expanded to several more locations in Melbourne, as well as Singapore and Dubai. The Carlton shop spans three shop fronts, and seems to be constantly packed. It's a big, loud, busy joint with a huge selection of cakes, pastries and other baked goods.
Before I cut out sugar, I visited Brunetti with Food Pampering and a few other bloggers for afternoon tea. Despite it being such an iconic place, prior to that afternoon I had never visited Brunetti before. I know, I'm very behind the times!
While there we sampled a selection of items. This tray of pastries looked gorgeous, and on it we had: little strawberry tarts, millefoglie with vanilla custard, French custard tarts, and a couple of cannoli filled with custard or chocolate cream.
Unfortunately, I found them a bit same same. By that I mean while they looked different, they were all quite sweet and all the fillings were cream or custard. More variation would have been good, as I felt like I was pretty much eating the same pastry over and over again.
In addition to the small pastries, we also tried a La Crezione ($4.50) – an éclair filled with bitter chocolate cream slightly flavoured with orange and decorated with a very pretty chocolate plaque printed with part of The Creation of Adam image. Sadly, the choux pastry was too dry – it looked much better than it tasted.
Much better was the Bigne San Guiseppe ($4), a fried doughnut dusted with sugar and filled with chantilly cream – cream, vanilla custard and strega liqueur. But – gak – more cream/custard!
With the exception of the éclair, nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out. But to be fair, we only tried a small sample of what's available, and I'm sure that a different selection of pastries (less custard/creamy stuff) would have helped.
Brunetti must be doing something right. While there are bakeries and cafes in Melbourne that make better cakes and pastries, none of them can claim the longevity of Brunetti. And check out the long list of blog posts below – there's a lot of Brunetti love out there. I guess I need another visit before I find mine.
Read Allan and Joyce's accounts of the afternoon.

Yeah, I've never considered this as somewhere I want to go in Melbourne. It's always looks really… basic to me, but I guess I've always never been that interested in pastries, and things like eclairs and profiteroles make me go "bleurgh". I think I'll stick with making you go to raw food restaurants with me next time I visit. Surely you're a little more open to it now?

A raw food restaurant? I think not, my dear. Unless you're going to come and eat a steak with me and not eat dessert…?

Oh fiddlesticks. I thought I'd be able to convince you because of your date coconut treat success and the fact that quite a few of the savoury raw dishes are vegie/protein/fat based rather than carb-based, but s'pose it was wishful thinking.
Raw steak as the compromise?

Oh my gosh THANK YOU for your honesty. I've never been a fan of their desserts from Day 1. And like you said, I'm not sure if it was cause of the lighting or anything, but it's really better to look at.
BUT, I still find myself going back time and time again after being there for the "Nth" time already. Maybe it's cause of friends' invitations and that I didn't mind it as much. It's one of those times that remind me that it doesn't ALWAYS have to be about "good food" but the friendly company that matters. So, you'll prolly find me going back again but more for a good catchup than their pastries (totally agree with the overly used custard and cream).
Still, respect for staying true and honest to what you feel even though it was sponsored tasting! Your readers like me really do appreciate that a lot. Have a great weekend, Agnes! =)
October 22nd, 2011 @ 5:46 pm
I can't remember when the last time I visited this place! I can't make myself go anymore, especially since there are so many better cake shops out here

I reckon what Brunetti does right is looks and location! Shiny pastries and smack dab on the tourist strips: Lygon St and next to Fed Square. Not really ingredients for good food.

Found your blog via Kat/SSS.
I work near Brunetti so i go there a lot, inc midnight runs on a Sat night. When we have birthdays at work we get Brunetti cake.
I agree with you, I think their French stuff isn't the way i'd expect it to taste. When they don't try to do French stuff it's not bad, I love their ricotta cakes and their cannoli. But we had a profiterole cake at work and the pastry was dry and the cream wasn't very good.
I"m a bit of a purist, if i want French pastries like eclairs, etc I will go to a French patisserie as I know somewhere like Brunetti will be disappointing.

Thank you for your honesty in this post! I've been playing with the idea of visiting Brunetti for a long time, however I've not heard any 'this place is amazing, you must go!', but instead mediocre reviews which say exactly what you did, custard and cream.. I know I can trust your reviews, so I think I will choose my precious (travel) time with visiting someone else.. Although, I think Cam would probably enjoy this place – he can never get enough custard and cream….! Hahaha. He'll seriously just buy those cartons of custard and drink it funny boy. Those types of deserts usually make me feel ill, though!

2008 T&C Ignition Switch Problem
dz4 Posts: 1'08 T&C - occassionally when I get in and I will turn the key my dash panel lights up normal but get no ignition contact or turn over of the engine.
Don't know if anyone has tried this or not - it's not a fix but it is a definite workaround for my situation.
I leave the ingnition on, put the T&C in Neutral and turn key off and back on. Sure enough everytime it works for me. Hope this helps someone.
tnelluc Posts: 185,000+ miles so far. Within past year experienced Van not starting.1st Time got a jump; 2nd time a jump did the trick; 3rd time AAA guy came, wiggled the key a few times & it started & took to dealer. They couldn't find anything wrong. 5th time - no help around. Trying to figure what to do. For a reason, I know not why, turned key to ON POSITION, moved gear lever from PARK to DRIVE and back, turned key to start & it started. Couple more times that problem occured and followed the same procedure & it started. Wrote CHRYSLER, they had no answer but go to Dealer. Dealer didn't have a clue. Just finished a 4,300 mile trip up north - no problem. Was thinking about not having a problem yesterday. Today, after going to store it wouldn't start. Did the same procedure above and it started......Go figure...It's probably in the wiring but they aren't interested in the customer after the sale.
Occasionally my van will not start. there is a few times that when I do attempt to start it when it turns over it immediately shuts off at the same time there are my AC and rear defrost and rear windshield wiper buttons flashing when they stop flashing is when the problems occur and then there's times it won't start at all but after it sits awhile it will start up like nothing's wrong with it. I've replaced the relay switches the battery and alternator then I was told to replace the computer and have it reconfigure to the van which I did and it still is not solving the issue. at one time my wife had to drive down the road with the alarm going off. that is also another issue we are having when it starts acting up the alarm light on the dash is lit up and then there's times we get it started and the blower motor in the van blows hot on the passenger side and AC on the driver side and then sometimes when we get it running the MPH needles don't work for the RPM's gas nothing on the dash cluster if anyone has experienced this issue or has an answer and can help me I would greatly appreciate it thanks
gillesc2 Posts: 12008 Town & Country 85000mi
After the car stayed parked all afternoon in heavy heat after the AC has been fixed last week, came back to pick up the car, didn't start. Retried several times, finally started, drove back home.
Since, just got worse and worse. Yesterday I tried to start it for 15 minutes but nothing, dashboard stayed black. If door opened, alarm sound would come off and mileage would display.
Brought the car to the dealership this morning - they say they have to replace BOTH the key and the ignition system - it will cost me about $700!
Apparently this is a pretty common issue on those cars, why there isn't a recall on that, and why Chrysler doesn't pay its share since it's obviously a design issue?
connieh1968 Posts: 1My van has been sitting since Friday. I'm having the same issues. This has been going on for about 2 years, after sitting for a bit, it would finally start. We have replaced batteries, battery harness.
Chrysler said they cannot reprogram my keys that I have to buy new ones.
This is frustrating!! :sick:

I have a 2006 Town & County Chrysler Van. The van sometimes will not start. When I turn the key it starts & immediately shut off. My mechanic said that the alarm system is not reading the key. I had someone reset the key, and after a while the problem occur again. Now it runs down the battery and I need a jump. If there is a recall on the keys or alarm, I would like to know who I can call or contact.
Also, the sliding door on the back right side will not lock or unlock. It get stuck all the time. If there is a recall on the door, I would like to know who to call or contact. I called the Chrysler 1-800 number, and they said that there is no recall for my vehicle. Thanks

I don't have a permanent solution, but possibly a temporary fix. First, let me tell you what my problem is. Like most of you have mentioned, I have been stranded with my 2008 T&C not starting. I turn the key and it gives one click. It doesn't attempt to turn over....just a click. I have had it towed to the dealer one time and been jump started by a tow truck one time. Many other times, I was able to turn the ignition from 2 to 100 times and eventually the van would start. I have tried switching the gear shifter as some have stated, it seemed to work from time to time. I have had the van at the dealer 5 times now, all for the same problem. A couple of times they couldn't recreate the problem. They changed the negative battery terminal one time and said that fixed it. It didn't. They changed the starter one time and said that fixed it. It didn't. The last time they changed the battery and said that fixed it. It didn't.
The most success I have had from getting my van to start was from my own non-mechanical knowledge tinkering. Here is what I did. I was trying to follow the cables in the wiring harness, beside the battery, to find any loose connections. After messing with it for about 5 minutes, I gave up and found nothing. When I went to start the car next. It started right up. It worked like that for about 3 months with no problems. Then it wouldn't start anymore. I went under the hood and messed with the wires again. Another 3 weeks of starting with no problems. Then, I couldn't get it to help anymore. That's when the starter was changed. 2 days of working and then the problem again. I messed with the wires and good for about a month. Then trouble again. Took to the dealer and they changed the battery. 2 days again of starting and then it gave me problems again. Now, every time it gives me problems, I mess with the wires and it works for a while.
I know this is not a permanent fix, but maybe someone can figure out how to relate this wiring issue with some of the other temporary fixes and come up with a real solution.

My wife's 2010 T&C Limited died at a stop light when it was only 3 months old. Wouldn't restart. Towed to dealer. Has it for 2 days and finds a place where the wiring harness in the engine was grounding out. Replaces entire wiring harness (under warranty, of course). That was 4 years ago. So far, so good (knocking on wood).

A Brooklyn jury acquitted the man who pushed New York City Police Officer and Cortlandt resident Alain Schaberger over a railing of murder, but on the charge of aggravated manslaughter last week. Schaberger was attempting to handcuff George Villanueva following a domestic violence call when Villanueva .
Schaberger's fiancé, Shoshone Peguese, has asked Patch to publish her thoughts on the verdict, the man who killed her fiancé and the criminal justice system in the United States. Read her words below:
As I watched the verdict being played out in the courtroom my mind went numb. I flashed back to that horrible day of March 13, 2011 when I walked into the room in Lutheran hospital to see Alain's Broken, lifeless body lying there. No matter how difficult or painful I had to see him one last time. Alain was my heart, my soul and my best friend. The man who had unselfishly given so much of himself to family, friends, and his job and in the end his reward was death. Life is a strange thing and people can be selfish and cruel. This day I came to know this first hand.
Mr. Villanueva in his arrogance as he displayed in the courtroom and history of abusive behavior, one day will have to answer to a higher authority than judge or jury. This is what gives me solace. I believe his punishment will be far greater and severe than what will be bestowed upon him here now on earth.
I could not bring myself to be in the same room with a person who was responsible for the death of the person I loved. My mother was there on my behalf. She is a strong and proud woman and loved and admired Alain like her own son and vowed she would be present there.
One thing that I am thankful for is to have Alain with me during the final days of his life. He often shared the most intimate details of his feelings and his job as a New York City cop with me. Alain often expressed that he would give so much of himself to others and never got the same treatment in return. This is something that really bothered him. He was nice, quiet, and easy going. He was a really good person and very dedicated.
While everyone has gotten on with their lives, Alain's memories are still here with me and my son in the mountains of the beautiful and peaceful Cortlandt Manor. I can sometimes look at the white wicker chair on the porch and see Alain sitting there smiling at me. He has gone on to an even better place. I live everyday knowing that his heart was and still is here with us.
Personally I feel that the criminal system is a failure. It allows criminals and repeat offenders to run amuck in our society. The end results are tragedies just like the ones we see here. If a police officer is not safe in our city then who is? Please tell me? They buried Alain and later on that day they buried another officer Geoffrey Breikoff. No matter under what circumstances they died I think both where senseless deaths and did not have to happen. In my heart I cannot only blame Mr. Villanueva for Alain's death Sad to say. The system is simply is terribly flawed. This is what I strongly feel and will never think otherwise.

Ottumwa Courier
A collection of etchings by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, one of the greatest masters of the art of neoclassical etching, will be on exhibit at Indian Hills Community College in Ottumwa beginning Monday. The series includes views of Roman architecture and ruins, illustrating various periods of Piranesi's progress as an artist.
IHCC Art Professor Mark McWhorter said Piranesi, who lived from 1720-78, was a superb technician whose work extended the possibilities of printmaking in etching beyond anything achieved by his contemporaries. In his images, Piranesi imposed new proportions on the real world in which the people were reduced to little figures, making the grandness of the Roman facades and the elevations of the building interiors startling.
The collection includes earlier views of Rome in which light blends buildings with backgrounds of city landscapes. Later works include etchings in which single buildings loom dark against the sky. Piranesi's final works include bird's eye panoramic views that Piranesi constructed from notes made by studying perspectives from the ground and also by climbing walls for a higher point of view.
The exhibit comes to the Indian Hills Art Gallery through funds provided by the Gilmore Grubbs Charitable Trust and was curated by Blair-Murrah Exhibitions of Sibley, Mo. The show will close on Feb. 14.
The Indian Hills Art Gallery is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 4:30-9 p.m. It is located in the library on the Ottumwa campus of Indian Hills Community College at 525 Grandview Ave.
