Making a special appearance at the Keswick Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 24, Jimmy Vivino (from the Fab Faux and band leader for Conan OBrien) and Garth Hudson (founding member of The Band) will present Songs of The Band a continuation of The Bands profound musical legacy.
Drawing from the first four albums of The Bands extensive catalogue, as well as a few tunes from The Basement Tapes, Songs of The Band will present the groups earliest music in its purest form. Without the large horn section that became a staple of their later work, this show will just feature some guitar, bass, piano, organ and drums.
Vivino is certainly excited to be sharing the stage with Hudson, the definition of a living legend.
Garth Hudson is a national treasure, said Vivino during a phone interview discussing the concert. And I am on a personal mission to boost that awareness. He is one of the most incredible musicians Ive ever worked with and Ive worked with a lot of musicians. Ive just never encountered anyone of Garths stature, and if we dont get out there, people arent going to hear him.
For Vivino, though, theres a lot more to the equation. A student of every facet of North American music, Vivino said The Band was one of the most influential groups of the 20th century.
They were the greatest American band ever, he said matter-of-factly. The Band changed English music. They made people like Eric Clapton and George Harrison turn and take notice. Before they came along, Americana just did not exist as a genre. This is the most important American music ever made in my opinion.
Vivino wants to make it known, though, that this isnt a tribute band. All of the performers have roots in The Band, whether as founding members or close friends. Bringing together the likes of Vivino and Hudson, Sister Maud Hudson, Jim Weider, Randy Ciarlante and Byron Isaacs, the concert will showcase some of the greatest talent ever to share the stage with recently-deceased icon Levon Helm.
This is a family thing for us, said Vivino. I cant stress enough that Garth Hudson isnt tooling around in some tribute band. He was there. He was a founding member of The Band. And everyone playing with us has a deep connection to this music.
And although theyve done this a couple of times in the past, this isnt an ongoing tour or anything like that. Chances are, this one-off stop at the Keswick could be audiences only opportunity to see a spectacle such as this live.
Vivino, who is a frequent visitor to the Keswick with the Fab Faux, said the Glenside theater is the perfect venue for a gig such as this one.
They book a lot of great stuff there, he said. Its one of the really cool theaters. Ive been doing shows there for over 10 years. Theres a really cool community there in Glenside its close to the city, but you also get that suburban crowd that might otherwise not make the trip. The theater has a sense of cool shows and the people are hip to whats going on out there.
And even though its Thanksgiving weekend, Vivino doesnt think that should stop people from coming out and seeing this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.
Garth Hudson is a wizard, he said. He needs to be heard and seen. Hes an unbelievable force in American music. To me, this is really important. is an American institution and this is a chance for people who havent seen him in awhile, or whove never seen him, to come and check him out.
This is, in a purer sense, the way The Band started out, added Vivino. We decided to do it stripped down the way I first saw the band as five musicians and not have all the horns and all that stuff. This is really the seed and the root of the way things started.
If you get a chance to skip out on the family thing, come over and check out our family thing, concluded Vivino. It should be a really great time.
Songs of The Band will appear at the Keswick Theatre, Easton Road & Keswick Ave., Glenside, Saturday, Nov. 24, 8 p.m. Tickets: $40 & $50. Info: 215-572-7650 or www.keswicktheatre.com.

Greetings all
Just dropping by to publicly announce my intent that having now completed (roughly) 13 months of competitive play purely with Retribution, the year of the Elf has now passed. From this point onwards up until the end of Lock and Load next year (I hope to be able to make the next one too!) every competitive tournament that I play in will be played only with Trollbloods.
On top of that, my first mission is going to be to show all the doom sayers out there that the Mountain King can work! I plan to post up regular battle reports (starting with my first game back with my Trolls this Wednesday coming) tracking my progress in coming up with a list where I feel that the Mountain King not only performs, but performs well. I hope that the community will follow my progress and similarly, I hope that my play test matches will help to change some minds about the Mountain King.
Bring on the Year of the Troll!

Spring is right around the corner - Ground Hog Phil said so! Of course you can trust a large rodent to always tell the truth, can't you? The long range forecasts from the Climate Prediction Center had "below average" precipitation and "above average" temperatures for the next seven months. Though we are only six weeks into 2013, and just over once week since Phil's Prediction, I'm sorry to say, it looks like both sources are right.
Most January's in southwest Oklahoma are dry but this year was drier than most. Temperatures were on a roller coaster- way up then rapidly plunging only to climb again. Overall, we had more warm days than cold. So the Climate Prediction Center looks to be right.
Which we might want to consider, as we're looking over the seed catalogs and planning this year's flower or vegetable garden. Let's remember most municipalities are still under some type of water restrictions, without substantial spring rains those restrictions will not be lifted.
While we are still having the occasional plunge into freezing temperatures, take the time to do some garden planning. It might be prudent to limit your garden selections to those plants that require less water. Now that doesn't mean you have to have a "dry Zen garden" with nothing but raked gravel and several large boulders or a cactus garden.
Select varieties of your chosen plants that need less water. Plan on grouping plants that have similar water needs near one another. Use more mulch to shade the soil from the sun and hold in moisture. Use more soaker hoses that slowly drip the water right where it is needed rather than spraying it high into the air with sprinkler systems. These are all steps to "xeriscaping" check it out on the web or your local library.

Here is a guest post from Pierluigi Paganini. He is a security researcher for InfoSec Institute. InfoSec Institute is an information security training company now offering a mobile computer forensics course.
The IT landscape is dominated by the rise of paradigms such as cloud computing, mobile networking, and social networking, three concepts that have totally revolutionized the daily user's experience on the web.
Users, in a more or less conscious way, have now become slaves of the concepts of mobility and connectivity, technological change has been rapid and has involved masses of people as never before. There are a billion people, acting as nodes in a global network and exchanging an unimaginable quantity of data, while ignoring the basic concepts of information security.
- Which means are used for the data transfer?
- Are the communications channels secure?
- Where is the user's information hosted?
- What is the impact on user's private and what is the impact of technological innovation for business?
All of these questions need careful reflection to avoid serious consequences for our data, for our digital identities, for our business.
Every day we read the world "BYOD" in many articles, but how much we know about it?
BYOD is an acronym for "bring your own device" and it refers to the fact that employees, business partners, and other users bring their own mobile computing devices, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, to the workplace for use and connectivity on the corporate network and for access to business data. The repercussions, from the security perspective, are extremely serious, because the absence of proper policies regulating the use of these devices exposes user and company to risk of data leak and cyber attacks.
These policies have to address the ways in which employees could use the devices once out of workplace, the mechanisms of access protection to be adopted, data encryption, data accessible by the mobile platform, and limiting the execution of applications that can be run outside the company (e.g., email client or data mining applications).
Suggestions for a secure BYOD policy
The proper management of mobile devices and their use by employees when outside is a critical aspect for the security of enterprises. Companies today may choose to be compliant to different standards and regulation; the majority of them, such as ISO 27001, already cover many aspects that could improve a BYOD policy.
Because the presence of mobile devices inside companies and government agencies has increased at an impressive rate, ordinary business relationships with other enterprises, such as clients and providers, require the definition and the adoption of a proper BYOD policy. Sophos proposed a document titled "BYOD Risks and Rewards" that reports that one in four devices used today for work are either smartphones or tablets.
Figure 1 – Sophos BYOD Survey
The SANS (SysAdmin, Audit, Networking, and Security) Institute in March 2012 published the whitepaper "SANS Mobility/BYOD – Security Survey." The survey found that "only 9 percent of respondents felt completely aware of all mobile devices accessing their enterprise infrastructure and applications. At the same time, nearly 40 % felt they were fully aware of their devices, while nearly half did not have the level of awareness that they should."

Customers who are having some financial difficulties in the wake of the economic downturn should do everything they can to save money, such as by carrying out an energy comparison to find cheap electricity deals.
Jason Riddle, co-founder of Save Our Savers, commented that he would advise householders to take advantage of all the money saving initiatives they can find.
"Reducing your utility bill can be a particular challenge because so few of the offers are directly comparable. Don't just take the word of someone who comes knocking on your door," he suggested.
"Make full use of the price comparison sites … it might take some time, but there is scope to make plenty of savings if you shop about."
Mr Riddle's comments came after Mark Todd, director of energyhelpline.com, urged consumers to find a fixed rate energy deal quickly before suppliers scrap their cheapest offerings and replace them with more expensive ones.

Sweet Success
18 comments:
- Mark Willis said...
They look like perfect examples - so regular! I don't understand the term "liitle tacker" though.. I think that a lot of the "sweet corn" that you buy in the supermarket may be more like "maize" - not so sweet at all, but very starchy.
- November 17, 2011 at 7:22 AM
- duchess_declutter said...
S w e e t! Well done yet again Ali. Your garden prowess know no boundaries!! I am very impressed with these cobs and am now tempted to try this variety. We have grown corn (a lot) and with very meagre results. I've heard that about corn too - to virtually run from the garden into the saucepan. Makes you wonder about the supermarket stuff doesn't it. cheers Wendy

THAT'S what I forgot to plant!!!

Well done Ali and your Large brain

I think that how long it takes the sugars to turn to starch depends a lot on the variety - I've noticed that even Diggers sell hybrid sweet corn varieties as they are bred specifically to stop this happening. Of course being organised enough to boil the water negates the need for hybridisation completely - fortunately for the corn breeders much of the world is completely disorganised....
- November 17, 2011 at 9:40 PM
- Ali said...
Oh I didn't know that Liz, and of course a lot of people would not have the room to grow their own sweet corn - I've yet to see it become popular for balcony gardens! The bicolour corn I have in is a hybrid variety called Incredible, we haven't had any yet and I am really interested to see how it compares to the heirloom varieties.
I really have planted a lot of corn. I am attempting to grow it all year round (which I have been told can be done in Brisbane) and am planting successive crops every month or so. It is so hot here at the moment though that I'm not sure I'm going to be able to grow anything at all over the summer! - November 18, 2011 at 6:13 AM
- celia said...
Beeyootiful. We grew quite a lot last year, but it was never quite as awe-inspiring as we hoped, so we're having a break this year. Will try the Golden Bantam variety though - thanks for the headsup and doing all the seed testing for us.. :)
- November 19, 2011 at 5:15 AM
- Sarah said...
That picture makes me salivate! Fresh corn YUM YUM. Was interesteding reading about the corn... Will keep in mind. I am hoping mine grow and produce as good crop as yours!
- November 19, 2011 at 4:49 PM
- Ali said...
Ooo Celia - the pressure! I hope I labelled that corn correctly. For some reason, corn is something I find really easy to grow. My next challenge is trying to grow it throughout the year here, which I have been assured by several people can be done. Let's see hey.
Thanks Sarah - I hope your corn grows fabulously well down there - good luck! - November 20, 2011 at 9:15 PM
- yebo said...
Harvested ALL my corn yesterday as it was clear that I was not the only one who was interested in this sweet perfection...boiled, blanched and into the freezer. Summer in Brisbane, is it too hot, am I enticing ALL the local caterpillars??

This is/was a great thread guys, thanks!
A question about Brendan Kichton. I can't seem to find much about him anywhere on the boards; at least nothing of much substance. Can anyone tell me about him? His upside seems quite big after his last two years and he seems to have picked up where he left off so far this season with 20 pts in his first 18 games. Our league is drafting late and I think he'll probably slip into the third round of our 28 team draft. Any help is appreciated.

Patrick Wiercioch - Ottawa - Flys under the radar, but extreamly close and should get PPQB oppertunities, he is also a BIG customer, he is flying below radar because of Jared Cowan, would have gotten a call up had he not taken a puck in the throat last year...
Brock Nelson - NYI - anouther sizable option at center for the Isles, he could open room for thier forwards on the 2nd/3rd line (if you wanna guess who goes where thats your own problem lol) Nieds, Grabner, Kabanov, Ullstrom ect Patrick Cehlin - Nashville - The kids has versatility, ability to score and reminds me of current Nashville vet Martin Erat, who I stole several years ago when he was a rookie unknown, not gonna light up the score sheet, but could find room in Nashville next year or year after on 3rd line or better and then growth dictates the rest. Marc Arcobello - Edmonton - much is said about the big names the Oilers have drafted, get a look at this kid, slipery, excellent hands, explosive shot, always close to the score sheet... 5-9 is a dangerous size and is 24, but he could get a look and surprise in the David Desharnais way Kristians Pelss - Edmonton - seen him a couple years, instant love, again versitile winger that can be found all over the ice, has much work to do, has been sent to the ECHL because Oklahoma city cant use him in an offencive role because of Hall, Paajarvi, Eberle held down... Ethan Werek - Pheonix - still working on consistancy and has put on over 10 pounds he needed, and should grow into a strong 2-3 center where Pheonix may need a guy soon... Shinnimin and Martinook seem to get more noteriaty than Werek, but I like this kid in seeing him... Mark Pysyk - Buffalo - dunno if he qualifies as a 1st rounder, Buffalo has great competition on D, but I can't see Pysyk staying down long and when he gets there his adjustments should come easy and will munch minutes better than many 1 dimentional D Buffalo tries to push through... Jonathan Audy-Machessault - Columbus - Rangers missed an oppertunity to sign this guy after watching him put up 64 points in 76 games as a 5-9 rookie in the AHL... now he is almost 22, putting up point per game and Columbus got him on a Three Year Entry Level!.... he will pay with Columbus soon, and he will be produce atleast .5 PPG... and we all know how Columbus needs guys that will put up points Ivan Telegin - Winnipeg - big LW that not many talk about with Burmistrov, Scheifele around, but Telegin will push for a NHL role very quick (next year), and will post good numbers, Great shot, personally id like to see him play with a guy that can get him the puck, im thinking Bryan Little... Mark Barberio - Tampa - good defender had a huge AHL year last season, now looks to be best 6th rounder of 2008 and could be one of the better offencive D around very soon... he may be well known now after all the talk we had on him last year at playoff time in the AHL... (already mentioned) Petr Mrazek - Detriot - you hear Subban, Vaslievski, Campbell ect for good reasons... Mrazek is gonna work hard to get behind Howard, and it shouldn't take long... and then he could over throw Howard... Niklas Svedberg - Boston - has come over from Sweden just as billed. Might be a slow accention, but watch him closely. Carter Hutton - Chicago - I'm not a big fan of him, but he keeps winning and pushing for a job higher. If your the Blackhawks, do you feel comfortable with Emery and Crawford? Carruth and Whitney are 3-5 years away.... I tend to be a bit of a gambler with a late pick or a mid season pickup, these are unknowns i'd throw the dice at alog with the guys you already mentioned: McFarland, Connauton, Dillion, Latta, Austin Smith, Petrovic (I currently own), Zoblin, Pedan, Kichton, Hudon, Oleksiak... Also for the guy that wanted more on Kichton - http://prospects.dobbersports.com/in...ers&Itemid=129 - He has started this season with 20 points in 18 games with 7 goals... De Haan, Wishart, Reinhart and Pedan are more rounded and solid, but Kichton is more attractive fantasy wise as a consistant offensive D worth a risk on if you need it...

Not sure if Kyle Jean was brought up? He's having a great start to his pro career in the AHL. Big guy (6'4", 215 lbs) signed out of the CCHA. Is second on his team with 9 points in 9 games and is outscoring Chris Kreider (5 pts in 8 gp).
He doesn't have a track record of being a big scorer, but those big guys have a history of taking a little longer to come into their own.

Stanislav Galiev is a guy I'm liking more and more every year since his draft. I can see him putting up big numbers alongside Ovechkin and Backstrom in 2 years.
Kyle Rau is another player I like. Mark Barberio- Not much standing in his path to get top line PP min in Tampa and I could see him popping in with a Garrisson type season down the road. Atkinson - Not that he is a hidden Gem anymore, but I think he could exceed everyones projections by alot, starting now. My breakout candidite for the year and sleeper pick for the ROY. I think he has a chip on his shoulder and is going to succeed....

This report presents the findings of a mission conducted to assess the possible institutional set-up for the proposed biogas project in Lao PDR by relying on field visits, interviews, and a workshop.
The mission has concluded that the available institutional context of Lao PDR has sufficient potential to execute all needed functions of the proposed biogas project, except for the provision of credits. Further, suitable actors for the required functions in the biogas project have been identified. Eligible farmers would be responsible for the operation and maintenance of plants. Various actors from the government and civil society sector would be accountable for promoting biogas plants. Private companies and NGOs would both account for the construction and after-sales service. Credit provision was to be executed by multiple actors which were not determined yet.
The most often mentioned actors for training were Science Technology and Environment Agency-STEA/Technology Research Institute-TRI, National University of Laos-NUoL and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry-MAF, and STEA/TRI and National Agriculture & Forestry Research Institute-NAFRI for Research and Development. The Biogas Project Coordination Office was suggested for quality control, while MAF agents and farmer groups were to account for the extension on bio-slurry use. Private consultants and independent NGOs were to be responsible for monitoring and evaluation. As for the coordination and implementation level, office establishment between SNV and MAF was seen as the best option. A Biogas Project Steering Committee was determined as most suitable for coordinating policy level.
The report focuses on the efforts of the Biogas Pilot Programme (BPP) and SNV in developing expertise on bio-slurry management and utilisation. They aim to capacitate the extension workers for the promotion and transfer of knowledge to the biogas famers in order to increase their yield and soil fertility for sustainability land use. The objectives were two-fold:
The report concludes that, even though the training on bio-slurry is not a new topic for the BPP, the process and mythology on this training was new, also the content. The trainer and advisor tried to find out local appropriate methods and content useful for participants. This can be used in the real situation for Lao PDR to increase the yield and income for the farmer. In this training, the participants learnt a lot about bio-slurry management and utilization and they had practiced this in the field.
All the tools and the methods that were used in the training were useful and can help the extension workers on provincial level to train their staff. Bio-slurry use can also help to increase GDP, especially because bio-slurry will save our nature and land use will become more sustainable. The Terms of Reference for Local Capacity Builder to support on conducting bio-slurry mission is included.
Biogas user survey pilot programme 2007 in Lao PDR, 2007, 56 pages.
This field study evaluates the performance of existing biogas plants under the framework of the Biogas Pilot Programme (BPP) in Lao PDR. Study findings indicated that out of the theoretical quantity of available dung, only 44% was fed into the plant. Further, 95% of the households produced the required quantity of feeding materials, and the water-dung ration was correct in 80% of the cases. The collective performance efficiency of the biogas plants was 97%, but when viewed from the overall size of biogas plant, efficiency dropped to 73% because of lesser feeding than required. Study findings also indicated that gas was sufficient in only 85% and that in order to meet the total demand the average feeding rate needed to be increased from the existing 25.45kg/plant/day to 32.59kg/plant/day. The general physical condition of 85% of the plants was good and all plants were functioning. The overall study outcome indicated that the existing biogas plants were functioning at a satisfactory level and affecting the users positively. The functional plants have also been found to serve as effective tools for the promotion and extension of the technology.
Based on the findings, thorough recommendations were designed for implementation. Some of them stated the need for effective post-construction services, training course design on effective composting, handling and application of slurry, placing quality as a prime concern of the biogas programme, etc. All recommendations, as well as detailed description of the findings can be found in the report.
This is a presentation of the general findings of the Biogas Users' Survey – 2008. The presentation contains information on the following subjects:
• Overview of biogas plants visited
• Socio-economic data
• Age of biogas plants and costs of installation
• Information on feeding and gas production
• Frequency of operational activities
• Common problems reported
• Sufficiency of gas
• Functioning of biogas plants
• Level of users' satisfaction
• Physical condition of plants and components
• Use of fuel sources and saving
• Time saving
• IRR of 4 cum biogas plant
• Benefits, demerits and recommendations by users
This study provides accurate assessment of the level of impact achieved by the Biogas Pilot Programme (BPP) in terms of health and sanitation, saving conventional energy sources, workload reduction, and soil fertility when bio-slurry is used as fertiliser.
Study findings indicated that people have a generally positive attitude towards biogas and they are aware of many of its advantages. Saving time and energy, and receiving a subsidy were seen as the main reasons for the installation. Further, 83% of users were fully satisfied with the plant, while the remaining were only partially satisfied because of its inability to meet their total demand. In terms of workload reduction, findings revealed that an average household saved 63minutes a day by using biogas. Saving of conventional energy sources (fuel wood, electricity, LPG, charcoal) is also an important positive impact of biogas, which has also brought financial benefits in terms of reduced or eliminated use of cooking fuels. As for bio-slurry, 47% of users rated slurry as effective as farm-yard manure (FYM), and another 47% saw it as better than FYM. In terms of health and sanitation, 36% of users reported an improvement of eye diseases which were present before the installation.
Based on the study findings, recommendations for future improvement were designed on five levels: alternative strategies to target the poorer households, feedstock supply, alternative promotion strategies, improvement of after-sales service, and biogas equipment package. All recommendations, as well as detailed description of the findings can be found in the report.
The Lao Biogas Pilot Project (BPP) was established in November 2006 with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between SNV and the Department of Livestock and Fisheries (DLF) inside the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. The aim of the BPP is to establish a sustainable commercial market for the deployment of household biogas digester technology, resulting in the reduction of biomass resource depletion and a significant improvement in the quality of life of the families concerned.
An important part of the BPP's monitoring plan is to conduct a survey of biogas users (BPP customers) once a year. This provides data on the level of impact that the program is having, and can also indicate trends and issues for management attention. Similar surveys are conducted by the SNV biogas programs in other countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia. This allows some benchmarking and learning opportunities. The first Biogas User Survey (BUS) in Laos was conducted in December 2007, the second survey was conducted in January 2009 and the third survey was conducted in June 2010.
The Building Independence, Income and Empowerment (BIIE) of Smallholder Farmers Project began operating in January 2012. The project started its operation by placement of staffs and setting up operating processes and procedures and selecting appropriate millers interested to work with the project in supporting smallholder farmer groups. The project selected 14 rice mills due to high demand from the millers to participate in the project. These millers organised 3,415 farmers into rice production groups including five rice seed production groups. In addition to these preparatory steps, the project has also collected baseline data from the farmers in the target area and started supporting selected rice millers in formation of new farmer groups and re-organising existing farmer groups. The project facilitated millers to provide high yield variety of seed and extension training to the farmer groups in the wet season2012. A process of preparing inclusive business plan for all participating rice mills have been started with first round of training on business plan.
During implementation of the activities, the project team has realized that some of the activities could be combined for effectiveness and implemented accordingly. Some of the trainings such as training of millers on farmer group formation have been conducted in the field together with farmer groups. This has provided millers and government stakeholder to have real life experience in formation of farmer groups. BIIE project covers only two out of six EMRIP provinces. Lao Extension for Agriculture Project (LEAP) has shown interest to provide full support to another two provinces and complementary support to two provinces covered by BIIE. The support will be mainly focus on Extension Service through Public Private Partnership. This initiative has been operation since March 2012 with a separate team from Helvetas and SNV.
The Lao Biogas Pilot Programme gives Lao farmers the possibility to purchase a biogas digester. So far a number of 787 digesters have been built since the start of the pilot programme in 2007. Domestic biogas digesters, built under the "Lao Biogas Pilot Programme", are reducing greenhouse gases from four different sources and can be eligible for carbon financing.
This case study first presents the context of the programme after which it describes the opportunities and barriers (institutional, financial and technical) of developing small bio energy programmes like biogas with a carbon component and the roles that various stakeholders could play in the process in Laos. The study finishes with lessons learned and four key factors are identified as main drivers for a successful development of a carbon project:
The document presents the summaries of the 12 case studies used to illustrate SNV practices which contributed to the writing of the practice brief N° 4 focusing on Gender and Agriculture (see: www.snvworld.org/en/sectors/agriculture/publications/gender-and-agriculture-practice-brief). The summaries provide an insight of the gender issue and what practices SNV implemented to address to this specific constraint. The document also offers you hyperlinks at the end of each summary to enable you read the full intervention.
The Enhancing Milled Rice Production in Lao PDR Project (EMRIP) was jointly funded by the Food Facility of the European Union (90%) under its 'facility for rapid response to soaring food prices in developing countries (2009) and Helvetas/SNV (10%). EMRIP built on the experiences of earlier work of SNV's Rice Value Chain programme, and Helvetas' Organic rice (PRORICE) programme It expanded to work in 6 provinces, and introduced additional elements notably; upgrading mills through grants of equipment, and policy dialogue to address bottlenecks in rice trade system in Lao PDR. The overall project budget was €2,348,124 over a relatively short implementation period of 23 months. The key implementation partners were the two NGOs; Helvetas and SNV with the national partner; Department of Agriculture of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. This final evaluation was carried out by an external consultant with substantial experience in the agriculture sector development in Lao PDR.
Official coverage figures for rural water supply make us hopeful - MDG targets for water will likely be met. Yet, the disappointing reality is that only a fraction of this is functional and providing regular water supply that is safe for drinking. The premature deterioration of 'improved' water supply makes unreliable and unsafe water services a daily reality for large parts of the rural population in Asia.
SNV recognises that providing functional and sustainable water supply services is a challenge that goes far beyond coverage at a given point in time. Increased capacity at all levels is essential for sustainability.

G4E guidelines for collection of data (e.g. baseline study, research, monitoring and evaluation)
This practice brief explores women and gender issues in SNV Netherlands Development Organisation's support to agricultural value chains in Africa and Asia. Across the two regions there are wide disparities in women's access to and control over productive resources, service delivery and market opportunities. Drawing on a wide variety of case studies, the Brief describes various ways in which the underlying gender constraints are identified and addressed, through an explicit focus on women's economic and social empowerment.
This Practice Brief highlights various approaches used to promote gender equality in the agriculture; water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); and renewable energy (RE) sectors in Asian countries. SNV Asia has provided extensive capacity-building support in these sectors while putting 'inclusive development' at the forefront of the development agenda. The Practice Brief is an attempt to document practices from the field based on successful experiences of SNV in Bhutan, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Nepal and Vietnam. It aims to be a quick reference for development practitioners (within and outside SNV) who are committed to mainstream gender in these three sectors.
La présente note thématique porte sur les questions relatives aux femmes et à l'équité du genre du genre dans l'appui apporté par la SNV -Organisation Néerlandaise de Développement-, aux chaînes de valeur agricoles en Afrique et en Asie. Il existe à travers ces deux régions d'importantes disparités en matière d'accès des femmes aux ressources et aux moyens de production, aux services ainsi que de leur contrôle et aux possibilités d'accès aux marchés. Se fondant sur une large gamme d'études de cas, cette note décrit différentes façons dont les contraintes de genre sous-jacentes sont identifiées et abordées, en mettant explicitement l'accent sur l'autonomisation économique et l'inclusion sociale des femmes...
Rice is the most important staple food in Lao PDR, and is produced in almost all regions of the country. In the past, improved rice production has been a key development task in the support provided to Lao PDR. While there has been a large increase in paddy rice production, less attention has been paid to improving the efficiency of handling and milling. This case highlights the 'Enhanced Milling Rice Production in Lao PDR' project (EMRIP) which is designed to address these issues. EMRIP recognizes that the private and public sector both have important roles to play in developing the country's rice sector. Local rice mills offer the highest leverage in the rice value chain, which is why the project worked with (progressive and socially committed) millers who have strong and mutually respectful relationships with smallholder rice farmers.

Desktop Ponies: Massive Update!
These are so fun it's ridiculous, seriously.
The creator of the desktop ponies applications has written to inform everypony that the app has gotten a massive update- lots of new characters, including a Trixie with fireworks! Go download it and try it out, you won't be disappointed.
Their website is here, and the Ponychan thread is here.
Specifically, the programmer in charge points us to this and this post in the thread.

We get it, LOI is semantically more accurate than LOL in most cases, but LOL has it's own connotations due to it's use that makes it well seasoned and appropriate even when LOI would be moreso appropriate. - May 13, 2011 at 11:17 AM
only had winzip trial,it ran out of time,cant unzip this now,is sad

unzip everything into a folder and find the "desktop ponies" application.
it should have twilight sparkle as it's icon. - May 13, 2011 at 11:18 AM

Download IZArc. it's like winzip only completely free and better in every way, - May 13, 2011 at 11:19 AM
- Sir Leadhead said...
@ anon
you just open the .exe file in the download. You dont even have to unzip it if you dont want to.
and before you ask where the .exe file is, open the download, then see that there is another zipped folder in there. open that as well, and the .exe should be in that second one. At least that's how it worked for me.
and now I have Trixie and Zecora wandering my desktop. Trixie keeps showing off, and Zecora just wanders. This amuses me...

Keep trying it'll happen sooner or later, if you want it badly enough. (a while ago I spent 3 days trying to download something, but I got it) - May 13, 2011 at 11:53 AM
All that is left is to modify all these characters into a M.U.G.E.N characters and the other update the site mentions.
- May 13, 2011 at 12:00 PM
Duuude.. This is amazing.
I thought the original was epic, but this...
I'm gonna flood my screen with Vinyl now, a hundred will probably make my screen look trippy. - May 13, 2011 at 12:08 PM
I just did that(well 75 of them) and discovered something horrible. I can't right click them as soon as I hover over they chirp and block them selves from being right clicked. Curse there paraspites D: - May 13, 2011 at 12:10 PM

Er acually just right click one and quit apparently! - May 13, 2011 at 12:16 PM
That got annoying really fast; the defaults are way too obtrusive. I limited it to one Lyra and edited the INI to make her stand still for longer (WAY longer, like, 60-120 seconds).
Now I just need to change the GIF files to make her blink every few seconds because it's just goddam creepy that she doesn't. - May 13, 2011 at 12:19 PM
Now now, I never claimed to be the creator, that honour goes to Anonymous. I've just done some modest contributions in the animation compartment but any attention is good attention I guess. Just spreading the friendship and magic :)

Allright, browsing in the internet isn't funny without 127 ponies floating around on your screen :}
- May 13, 2011 at 12:32 PM
no cheerilee or colgate makes me sad, but this update is still wonderful!
- May 13, 2011 at 12:33 PM
Sorry about that. I was more concerned with getting the bounce animation done right and never got around to actually animating her default pose. - May 13, 2011 at 12:39 PM
There's Java version somewhere in the ponychan thread that should be Mac/Linux compatible. - May 13, 2011 at 12:41 PM
Oh, well...I did download the "java" one, but all I get is a bunch of folders with pictures? Weak...
- May 13, 2011 at 12:45 PM
I can't open the archives, specifically the signed ones (7zip, IZarc). Am i missing something?
Running the Java version until I can solve this. It works, but it's Java... - May 13, 2011 at 1:03 PM

am I the only one who thinks that its looks like applejack is shitting out apples also pinkie is awesome
- May 13, 2011 at 2:53 PM
oh my god it's so cute it cause a blood vessel to pop in my nose, the cuteness is keeping me conscious, thank god for ponies.
- May 13, 2011 at 2:54 PM
I tried that and it doesn't work..it says like "file could not be launched" or something similar... D: - May 13, 2011 at 3:04 PM

I found a bug in this otherwise awesome program. If the the Everfree Forest zone is set too large (I had it set to (100,90) to try to get them to stay near the taskbar), the ponies spaz out and blur all over the page, and end up all concentrating around my cursor. Also, the context menu was unavailable unless I dragged one of the ponies out of the Everfree zone and right clicked on the pony there.
- May 13, 2011 at 3:08 PM
Hmm... Creator here, and actually i've never mentioned this to EQ, so that must have been someone else.
And this was posted a few days before the next major update (pony editor GUI) :( bad timing. - May 13, 2011 at 3:09 PM
- Andrew said...
This is, without a doubt, the COOLEST program ever. My desktop is now 20% cooler with ponies and parasprites running around on it. And you can even take control of the ponies if you right click on them. Holding down shift causes them to move faster, and for Rainbow Dash it causes her to do a Sonic Rainboom. Applejack sets down apples as she runs. Just right click and relinquish control when you're done playing.
- May 13, 2011 at 3:09 PM
@Anonymous It was I, Humle, who hinted at the major updates of Desktop Ponies to Sethisto but I never claimed to be the creator. As I commented earlier that honor goes to you, Anonymous. I just thought with all the updates so far you had deserved some publicity and with Sethisto's favourite pony being Trixie that he'd definitely swallow the bait with Trixie 2.0.
- May 13, 2011 at 3:21 PM
Wait....so, the website says that it doesn't work on a mac, but there's also a java port. Does the java version work on a mac?
- May 13, 2011 at 3:27 PM
Well, when I try to run "Java Ponies.jar" on my mac, it won't work...so, I dunno.
- May 13, 2011 at 3:34 PM
Ooohhh... of course... Trixie! I should have known.
@ anonymous: The java version may work for you, but it seems hit and miss for some people.
Thanks for pointing that out. The next version will be a little smarter and avoid ponies teleporting all over if they can't find a good spot. - May 13, 2011 at 3:42 PM

I've had Desktop Ponies since Version 12 or so! I got v.18 last night (Nightmare Moon, YES!) A word of warning though; Desktop Ponies does not play well with iTunes. I was having weird problems with it refusing to download songs I tried to buy and it kept showing a strange error whenever i tried to sync my iPad 'A problem has occurred, please disconnect and reconnect your iPad and try again'. Stopping Desktop Ponies solved the issues. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit.

Ah, I love this collab~
Only the filly celestia is left of the ones I did (though I really should update her or something), but I have, like, four custom ones too~
Keep up the good work, everyone involved! - May 13, 2011 at 4:15 PM
I have Mac OS X 10.6.7 and the Java version works perfectly for me.
- May 13, 2011 at 4:31 PM
Now anytime I listen to music on my computer I have to bring up Scratch to play it. I hope that there will be more interactions with the next update.

It works on my mac. Pretty cool program! (BonBon, get out of the way, I'm trying to type!)
What I would really like to see is a list of the ponies that interact with each other. At one point Luna clung to Celestia's side, which was cute, but Lyra and BonBon don't seem interested in each other, even though they call each others names all the time.
TL;DR, it would take too long to test each and every character's interactions with each other, cheat sheet please? - May 13, 2011 at 10:26 PM
75 parasprites... So cool...
And i don't think there's any lag either :} - May 14, 2011 at 9:34 AM
What are some things a pony could randomly said? All I could come up with was "For the Luna Republic!" for luna :/
- May 14, 2011 at 9:35 AM
I'd like to report a bug - my desktop pony seems to have gained sentience. Yesterday I reprogrammed Lyra's dialogue with some rock lyrics, including "Youth of the Nation". Today I opened "Youth of the Nation" on YouTube and she hopped up and down in delight, walked the width of the screen until she was next to the video and then (even though she's only programmed to hold still for a few seconds at a time) stood watching it for the full four minutes until it was over. Then she wandered off again.
Is there a patch for this? - May 14, 2011 at 10:47 AM
- Adrian Brony said...
I programmed a behavior for lyra to interact with bon-bon.
in the pony editor select her and add new action,
speed is 3, probability is 5% min duration is 15, max is 30 (it will try to set it to .8, just let it do it than reset the duration later) Right image is the walk right, left image is walk left, movement is set to diagonal/horizontal, and target is set to bon-bon.
Whenever bon-bon is present, there is a 5% chance of lyra seeking her out and following her closely for a while. I have it set to say "Bon-Bon!" when activated. It is very d'awww worthy. - May 14, 2011 at 2:33 PM
@Adrian Brony
*facepalm* Aw man, I am so frigging stupid. I thought you were the author saying you'd added it to the new version. I've been watching Lyra and Bon-Bon walk around my desktop for the last 20 minutes wondering why they weren't interacting. - May 14, 2011 at 3:39 PM
can someone explain how to put the desktop ponies to be seen without a very complicated example i cant download them please someone help me.

Rainbow Dash can only fly down a certain distance on my screen and then she just stops. All of the other ponies can go much lower, but Rainbow Dash can't go very far down...
- May 14, 2011 at 9:07 PM
- Pinkie Pie said...
@RexNinja Probably because the high part is 20% cooler than the lower part.

Running on Mac OS 10.6.7, Java version 1.6.0 and it seems to work fine for me. Unzipped and then double click on "Java Ponies.jar".
I dunno if X11 is needed for Mac OS X but I also have that installed (seems that the Linux instruction requires X11 components). - May 22, 2011 at 10:00 PM

A source within the industry who has previously leaked other information when I was writing for Xboxic (leaks include confirming Black Op's March 2010, Naming Kinect before E3 May 2010, First Gears 3 Images April 2010, amongst others) has informed me that an upcoming Call of Duty title from Infinity Ward will not be created on an all new game engine, and will not be released this year under the title of Modern Warfare 3!
It has been alleged that Infinity Ward are creating a game that will focus on the character Ghost who first appeared in Modern Warfare 2, this game will centre around the events leading up to the war in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as a prequel, and then further reveal how Ghost first became a member of Task Force 141 based on the comic book stories written by David Lapham. In various parts of the game that will focus on the life of Ghost - players will revisit locations from both Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2, but this time from a different viewpoint.
Although entirely a rumour - the game is meant to be in development on the Modern Warfare 2 engine. Robert Bowling (Infinity Ward's Community Manager) was contacted, but has neither confirmed or denied the rumours.
When an official announcement from both Activision and Infinity Ward is made regarding the Call of Duty title currently in development - we'll be sure to post it.

Primary Source of the Month
The Constitution had been ratified by eleven states by July 26, 1788, but not without controversy. Spurred on by the arguments of Anti-Federalists, many states (including the four whose representatives did not sign) called for a Bill of Rights. In June of 1789, Representative James Madison of Virginia brought to the House of Representatives a list of amendments to serve as this Bill of Rights. The House debated the issue and approved seventeen amendments. These amendments were to be listed at the end of the Constitution, not inserted into the text as Madison had suggested. The Senate, upon reviewing the list, consolidated it to 12 amendments, which were then sent to the states. Amendments 3 through 12 were ratified and became the Bill of Rights.
This document shows the Senate's revisions on September 9, 1789, to what we now call the Bill of Rights. Through these revisions, they consolidated the seventeen amendments passed by the House of Representatives on August 24, 1789, down to twelve, which they then sent to the states for ratification.
The rest of this draft can be seen online at http://www.archives.gov/legislative/features/bor/.

Tame Your Mane: Solutions for Every Hair Care Concern
We always want what we can't have! But that doesn't mean that you can't work with what you've got for hair that's manageable, soft and LUSH-ious. No matter your concern, we've got you covered with shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments loaded with fabulous ingredients you can actually pronounce. From cocoa butter to fresh avocado, seaweed infusion to lavender extract, we source natures finest to bring you the best hair care solutions. While the perfect head of hair may always be elusive, our collection of treats for your tresses will get your mane closer to nirvana than ever before.
Feeling Thirsty?
When your hair is experiencing a drought it's time to provide some much needed hydration. The key to caring for dry hair is to nourish it with moisturizing blends of fruit and nut butters for healthy, quenched locks. Begin with a shampoo that's designed to gently cleanse while leaving behind moisturized tresses. Godiva 2 in 1 Solid Shampoo Bar does just the trick with a mixture of Shea and cocoa butters to rehydrate and soften dry hair. Next, follow up with an extra dose of conditioner to quench those tough tresses with insatiable thirsts. For day to day softening we recommend Jungle Solid Conditioner Bar with fresh passion fruit and avocado butter to drench hair in lightweight moisture. If you've been experiencing an extended period of drought with no sign of rain in sight reach for Retread. Our richest conditioner is packed with fresh yogurt, avocado oil, and soya milk to help nourish damaged tresses and lock in moisture. Work Retread through ultra-fried and dehydrated hair and we guarantee you'll be feeling smoother in no time. Finish with a few dabs of R&B hair moisturizer to style dry, frizzy and curly hair. This treatment feature a blend of avocado butter, extra virgin coconut oil and candelilla wax to condition hair from root to tip while defining curls and keeping frizz at bay.
Pump it up
Turn up the volume on flat, floppy hair that refuses to stand at attention. When dealing with limp locks look for ingredients that build volume without leaving behind bulk and buildup. Our Big Shampoo keeps your mane looking full with the help of sea salt, which builds volume while softening the hair. Big also features a seaweed infusion and coconut oil to hydrate dry tresses and keep them looking healthy. Follow up with a lightweight conditioner that won't deflate all that body building you've been doing. Veganese is the perfect solution to nourish fine tresses without weighing them down. This lemon scented wonder features agar seaweed gel for weightless moisture and softened locks. Finish with a not-so-secret weapon used by hair stylists to plump up tired tresses. Work No Drought dry shampoo through your mane when you need a little extra lift or want to freshen up without the shower. This ultra-fine citrusy powder uses talc to subtly plump up your look while absorbing excess oil.
Damage Control
Hair dryers, straighteners, bleach and hairspray. If you're guilty of any one of these haircare sins, not to worry, we have a great range of restorative products for hair that needs a little extra love. Begin the road to recovery by lathering up with Rehab shampoo. Rehab will nurse your hair back to health with a mixture of strengthening olive oil and fresh fruit juices for a deep cleanse. Next, you'll need a treatment for a full hair recovery. Begin at the root of the problem with Hair Doctor scalp and hair treatment (available in-store only). This preservative-free peppermint treatment cleanses and softens itchy scalps with the help of stimulating rosemary oil and hydrating fullers earth. If you're still feeling frazzled reach for H'suan Wen Hua hair moisturizer, which is sure to put some life back into out-of-condition hair. Olive oil, eggs, and bananas drench dehydrated hair with nourishing moisture to restore it to its former glory. Now all that's left to do is rinse off and shake that healthy mane like you mean it!

DockWalkers work in Pillar Point (Half Moon Bay), Santa Cruz, Moss Landing, and Monterey Harbors throughout the summer months. A typical DockWalker shift is 3-4 hours. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 831-462-5660 ext. 6.
