List Price: $389.95
On Sale: $309.95, plus FREE Shipping
The Sunpentown WA-1011S Window Air Conditioner cools areas as large as 425 square feet while helping you save on cooling costs. Energy-efficient features of this room air conditioner include an Energy Star seal, a high energy-efficiency ratio, and a useful energy saver function. Designed to fit in horizontal or vertical windows, the Sunpentown 10,000-BTU Window Air Conditioner comes with an installation kit. Key features of this air conditioner include a reusable air filter, directional airflow, and a 24-hour timer.
With various functions that you can program with the remote control, this multi-purpose air conditioner allows you to experience a comfortable indoor environment no matter the weather forecast. The Sunpentown WA-1011S Window Air Conditioner is equipped with the following operating modes:
Fan – Chilly climates outside mean cooler temperatures inside. When the outdoor temperature drops, give your AC a break by switching to fan mode. Fan-only operation helps you avoid indoor stuffiness by providing a continuous flow of fresh air ventilation. The Sunpentown WA-1011S Air Conditioner features four fan speed settings: high, medium, low, and auto.
Cool – Cool mode, the main function of this window air conditioner, forces heat out of your space and replaces it with a direct stream of fresh, cool air. Every minute the Sunpentown WA-1011S pulls in 500 cubic feet of hot air and exhausts it outside through the air grille. In cool mode, this room air conditioner lowers your indoor temperature to as low as 62 degrees Fahrenheit with a cooling capacity of 10,000 BTUs.
Dry – Warm, moist indoor air can make your space feel hot and clammy, making it difficult to maintain a comfortable room temperature. In dry mode, this air conditioner acts as a dehumidifier, extracting moisture from the air as it cools your home. This function not only gives you fast relief from indoor humidity, but it also saves electricity, as the air conditioner does not have to work as hard to cool your space. The Sunpentown WA-1011S Window AC removes 2.7 pints of moisture per hour in dry mode.
Auto – For true set-it-and-forget-it operation, program your Sunpentown AC for auto mode. When set in auto mode, the Sunpentown WA-1011S automatically maintains your ideal temperature. If no settings have been programmed, the air conditioner will monitor the room temperature and initiate the fan cycle or start the cooling process when necessary. This window air conditioner operates in a temperature range between 62 degrees Fahrenheit and 86 degrees Fahrenheit in auto mode.
The Sunpentown WA-1011S Air Conditioner was designed to mount in windows with a minimum opening width of 23 inches and a maximum opening width of 36 inches. This window AC can also be installed in vertical windows that have an opening width of at least 15.5 inches. The fully equipped window kit provides all the essentials for secure installation. In addition to a mounting hardware set, the installation kit includes two accordion panels and a window sash seal— all you'll need is a screwdriver.
With an Energy Star rating and an EER rating of 10.8, this efficient window air conditioner uses less electricity to cool your home, resulting in significant savings on your yearly cooling costs. Additionally, this air conditioner is equipped with an energy saver feature. The convenient energy saver function is great for days when you plan to be away from home for an extended period of time.
While there's no need to waste your AC's powerful cooling on an empty house, you also don't want to come home to a stuffy room. In energy saver mode, the cooling system operates efficiently to maintain your pre-set temperature and the compressor runs only when the room temperature exceeds that setting. Every 10 minutes, the fan cycles on for two minutes for energy-efficient cooling.

Vegetarian vs. vegan diet
A vegetarian or vegan diet, if handled properly, can be beneficial for children. It's important to be careful, however, because many of the foods that are ommitted in a vegetarian or vegan diet are rich in the nutrients that kids need to grow up healthy and strong.
What is vegetarianism?
Vegetarians do not eat meat, but they do eat products from animals. There are two types of vegetarians; lacto-vegetarians who eat milk and milk products along with plant-based foods, and lacto-ovo vegetarians who eat milk, milk products, and eggs along with plant-based foods. Vegetarians do not eat meat, poultry, or fish.
Anyone who doesn't eat red meat but eats fish or poulty is not a vegetarian.
What is veganism?
Vegans eat only plant-based foods. They do not eat any animal products at all, including milk or milk products or eggs. Vegans do not eat cheese, yogurt, or milk. They also do not eat meat, poultry, or fish.
Eating healthy without meat
Following a vegetarian or vegan diet is not as simple as excluding meat or animal products from your child's diet. You have to provide appropriate food substitutes for the nutrition that animal products provide.
Meat is one of the primary sources of protein in the modern diet. You will need to ensure that your child gets enough protein. Good protein sources include nuts, tofu, and soy, although your child will have to eat considerably more of these proteins to meet her daily needs.
Kids need calcium for strong teeth and bones. Fortified soy milk and soy cheese are great substitutes for cow's milk and cheese. Including soy substitutes in your child's diet can help ensure that she gets enough calcium as she grows.
Eggs contain protein and vitamin D. But, you can substitute flaxseed in your child's diet to get the same nutritional benefit. Sprinkle a little flaxseed in the foods you make, including baking, to ensure that your child gets enough protein.
Can children be healthy on a vegetarian diet?
Although vegetarians and vegans have different dietary habits, both eating plans can be healthy for adults and children. If you prefer your child to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, make an appointment with your child's doctor and a qualified dietician to develop a plan that meets all of her dietary needs.

The attack was blamed on Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), a South East Asian militant group with links to al Qaeda. Since the attack, Indonesia has tried and executed three perpetrators and killed other key conspirators in police raids. The last man to stand trial over the blasts, Umar Patek, was jailed for 20 years in June for helping to assemble the bombs.
Writing in the Sydney Morning Herald on Thursday, Indonesia president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said 10 years on "we can say with some relief that justice has been done."
The Bali bombings, he wrote, "set off a series of critical chain reactions. Indonesia developed a highly skilled and dedicated police anti-terror unit. And an international campaign was launched to restore the image of Indonesia as a peaceful tourist destination. Today, tourism in Bali has exceeded pre-attack figures."
One man who won't be in Kuta this week, if ever, is Grant Nicholson, the secretary of the Forbes Rugby Union club. He lost his best friend, Greg Sanderson, in the blast. Sanderson, or "Sando" as he was known, was one of 25 Forbes players who were there celebrating the end of the rugby season. Three didn't make it home.
"I can pay my respects to Sando here, I don't need to go to Bali and see what hasn't been done," Nicholson said from his home in Forbes, a town of just 8,500 people in rural New South Wales. He was referring to the site where the Sari Club once stood, which is now being used as a car park.
"It's a sacred site," he said. "It's like walking over someone's grave. Two hundred and two people died there... I don't need to go to and see that to be close to Greg. He's here with us."
Campaigners had hoped by now there would be a permanent memorial to those killed in the attack. A monument to the dead now stands where Paddy's Bar used to be, but Britten and other survivors want to see the Bali Peace Park, a place of reflection for those killed, built on the Sari site.
"Initially there were people who planted some banana palms, so there were some things being grown there, which was OK," Britten said. "At least it wasn't being driven over, walked on, urinated on."
Development is said to have been held up in haggling over the price. "The landowner is asking a ridiculous amount of money -- it's not worth paying that much -- it's just unrealistic. So we've just got to work out what's fair for everybody and come to a win-win," Britten said.
Until then, survivors, friends and family members of those killed have created their own makeshift shrine. In the past few days, wreaths, flowers and photos of the dead have been laid on the former Sari site. An Australian flag hangs along a fence where someone has pinned photos of all 88 Australians killed, images crudely cut from a newspaper special.

Every religion/faith has something that separates it from the rest. When referring to the Hare Krishna followers, their muted orange and salmon colored garments come immediately to mind, as well as their unique hair styles and very vocal chanting.
This is a memory from my childhood that I don't see much anymore. When I was living at the home I grew up in, I remember Hare Krishna followers would come knocking on our door and they would be chanting and clanging their chimes, while we looked on. I didn't know at the time what they were chanting, but I found this chant online, so I assume this is what they were saying: "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare…". When they were done, they would hand us a flyer about their faith (I believe they asked for donations too, but I can't say for sure) and then leave to go to the next house.
I also remember seeing the Hare Krishna followers on the streets around town too, chanting to their hearts content, spreading the word of their faith.
Within the past few years, my wife and I took a trip up to Northern California (I believe it was the city of Berkeley). We were walking around the city and I spotted a group of Hare Krishna followers walking down the street while chanting and ringing their chimes. Boy, did this bring back a flood of memories from my past.

It's not a phone, it's an email device! Meet the Blackberry Q10
Subject: Mobile | April 25, 2013 - 07:52 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: blackberry, blackberry q10
Touchscreen phones might get all the recognition in the press and with the cool kids but for the hard working type who can never truly get away from their email, nothing beats a physical QWERTY keyboard. Users who prefer Bolds and Curves to flashy touchscreens are finally going to be gifted with the new Blackberry Q10, with very similar specs to the already released Z10. For those of us that don't tend to see our phones as an entertainment device but simply as work tool the size of the screen really does not matter as much as a responsive and easy to use keyboard. The Inquirer had a chance to review the new Q10 and you can catch their comments here.
"3.1" 720x720 Super AMOLED touchscreen, physical QWERTY keyboard, dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, 4G and HSDPA connectivity, 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, 8MP autofocus rear-facing camera with LED flash and HD 1080p video, 2MP HD 720p front camera, Blackberry 10 mobile operating system, 119.6x66.8x10.4mm, 139g
Price £579.95 SIM-free."

BlackBerry Releases BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 Smartphones With BB10 OS
Subject: Mobile | January 31, 2013 - 02:35 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: smartphone, RIM, blackberry z10, blackberry q10, blackberry, BB10
Research In Motion (RIM) is no more, but the company will live on as BlackBerry. Earlier this week, the company held a press conference where it made the name change official and introduced two new smartphones running the BlackBerry 10 operating system. It was a lot to take in at the time, and it has taken me this long for me to write about it as I have been torn on how I feel about the new BlackBerry.
First up though, the phones certainly look quite good. They are rather sleek looking utilizing curved edges well. BlackBerry has designed an all-touchscreen Z10 and a smaller Q10 smartphone with physical keyboard that is has just enough Bold DNA to evoke fond memories of my first smartphone.
The Z10 features a 4.2" touchscreen with a resolution of 1280 x 768 (356 PPI). Beneath the hood is a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 SoC clocked at 1.5 GHz along with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. For expansion, the phone supports micro SD cards. It can output video over HDMI and the phone includes an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP webcam. NFC and Wi-Fi are included along with LTE support.
Customers in the UK and Canada will be getting their hands on the phone sometime this week. US residents will have to wait until springtime, however. The BlackBerry Z10 is slated for a spring 2013 US launch (around March). In the US, the black version will be available on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile for $149 while a white SKU will be $199 and a Verizon exclusive (Verizon will also sell the black model, but reportedly at the higher $199 price).
The Q10 carries the same internal hardware as the Z10 but goes with a smaller 3.1" 720 x 720 touchscreen. Beneath the screen is a physical keyboard reminiscent of the old BlackBerry Bold. Specs and pricing were more-scarce here, but it should see a US release sometime in April 2013.
Both BlackBerry smartphones run the company's new BB10 operating system. The new OS is a complete overhaul that has several neat features. There is a new BBM client that integrated video chat and screen sharing, an app store with 70,000 launch apps, a work and home workspace separation (which will be great for BYOD workplaces), and a feature called Peek. Peek is invoked by a swipe gesture and allows you to, well, peek at a second application (such as email0 while watching a video or browsing the web. BlackBerry 10 will run multiple applications in the background and has an app switcher similar to Maemo where it displays live icons laid out in a grid. The OS also includes a camera application and editor. The camera app allows you to time-shift a bit after the photo is taken in order to find the best shot (for example, finding the shot where everyone was looking at the camera and/or not blinking). It is nice to see that rolled into a smartphone camera as it is rather useful when trying to get group shots of the family! Having the physical keyboard is sure to be a boon to many former BlackBerry users and may be the deciding factor in those users coming back to BlackBerry after leaving for Android and iOS.
That statement does segway nicely into my worry, however. Essentially "former users" is the key phrase, and after Android and iOS have gobbled up the market I do not know that BB10 and the two new phones will be enough to win back their former users much less new customers that did not grow up using BlackBerry phones. Don't get me wrong, the phones look really nice, and BB10 as an operating system shows promise. On the other hand, Google and Apple have a colossal head start and the majority of the market share. This is a stranglehold that even OS-juggernaut Microsoft has not been able to crack with its new Windows Phone 8 devices. BlackBerry may be able to win back the hearts of IT departments and grab some of the enterprise market, but I worry that BlackBerry took too long to put out BB10 and supporting hardware to reclaim its former glory.
I suppose I will just have to wait and see how well-received the phones are at the contract prices versus deals that are likely to be given out for Galaxy SIII phones, the Nexus 4, and previous-gen iPhones (keep in mind the Galaxy S4 is rumored to be released soon, so that would make the S3 likely to get a nice discounted on-contract price).
By all that is Brick Breaker, I hope that RIM BlackBerry finds some way to succeed. Perhaps a partnership with NVIDIA for Tegra-powered BB10 devices? After all, as Ryan mentioned on the podcast NVIDIA is in need of design wins for it's chips and BlackBerry could do with more hardware aimed at more price points.
Enough of my speculation, however. What do you think about the new BlackBerry and it's new devices?

Did I see a guy's javelin land past the yellow line? Is that the WR line?
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
That's a caution line- you're not supposed to throw past that, lest you spear one of the 5k finalists.
I like running alone.

Okay, I don't own a TV. But a friend moved in down the street. So today, after my 20mi, I went over to watch . . . Gymnastics with a ball or clubs, "free-style" wresting w/o any cool masks, and Women's basket-ball. Wow, talk about boring (not that women's BBall is boring, but dominating France is boring -- of course, I left after it started, so who knows).

Women's spirituality is ubiquitous in the Pagan community. Everywhere you look, people are embracing and exalting the Goddess. Many women are finding comfort and empowerment in the feminine spirits. Many men are coming to terms with their feminine side. A great many people are avoiding the pitfalls of putting gender and by extension, physical limits on the Unfathomable Creator or forgetting the feminine forces of Nature.
This is all good, but as spiritual people, we must take care that we don't abandon God while embracing Goddess, or ignore the masculine forces of Nature.
It is especially disheartening for me, with Vodun as my home faith, to see people co-opting female/feminine Orishas without any understanding of them or their place in the Yoruba or diaspora pantheons. Somehow, the vast majority of them pounce onto Yemaya without first, going through Eshu. There is a reason that everyone must ask Eshu before approaching other Orishas. If one does not have the proper attitude of reverence, one cannot successfully work with Nature. There is a good reason that the Orisha we approach first with reverence is identified male, and it's not just because his first human avatar was. There's a reason he chose a male body first, with whom to enter the human consciousness.
The female may carry babies and give birth. This is no small task. The male however, provides the seed, provides for the mother (or his female relatives in matriarchal or heavily matrilineal cultures), physically and psychologically protects her, and does the vast majority of the warrior and builder duties that keep societies functioning. Without male presence, children would have to be born walking and talking.
Yet in western culture, maleness is being villainized. We're told that there is a rapist or murderer lurking in every dark place, waiting to strike, and we're told that these are almost invariably male. We are taught to suppress any hint of masculinity in our boys except as it directly profits a woman. Some Pagan and Wiccan feminists even attempt to force feminist political agendas through magic, without considering the long term effects, much less what the spirits who nurture humanity may want.
A spiritual person should be able to see through all the mess, and should understand the need for reality and for balance. A spiritual person should have a God in harmony with their Goddess.
A spiritual person should be egalitarian, not feminist. The spirits do not have a political agenda. Where you may have a closer affinity to feminine spirits if you're female or have been driven that way because of a special talent (you may be two-spirit regardless of your orientation), you should have place for the masculine as well.
…and for goodness sake, if you're incorporating spirits or paths from the Vodun or diaspora systems, get into Eshu first.
We all know at least one Goddess proclaiming person whose life is in shambles. They've alienated the men in their lives as they are attempting to distance themselves from masculine spirituality. Yet they claim that since they've embraced the Goddess, they're doing the right thing. As the years go by, you've seen them become ever more shrill in this proclamation, and yet become ever more hollow and shallow. If you've ever been in a coven or group where it seemed like a competition to be the most "empowered" and felt uncomfortable with this, that was your animus and probably Eshu with Shango singing backup, telling you to get out of there, and rightly so.
Respect the masculine in harmony with the feminine, and you'll find many things in your life improve naturally. You'll feel more free to let your Oshun aspects come out when you know there is a Shango around.
Suppressing masculinity suppresses femininity because both need each other to exist. Even and especially if you are a naturally tough woman, you should be able to access the masculine spirits. A good many if not most tough ladies became so with considerable contribution from their fathers or other positive male role models. To balance expedience and honor, one must balance their masculine and feminine self. Just as men and women need to learn to live in peace in the outside world, you need to learn to live in peace with your feminine and masculine self in your inner world.

I make a Pizza Braid a few times a month... such a hit. The "Braid" part is the same as this recipe, but I fill it with pizza/tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, feta cheese (so delicious), chopped bell peppers, onions, turkey pepperoni, and sometimes even hamburger meat. Anything that you would top a pizza with goes great. I also sprinkle an Italian Spices blend (like from McCormick) over the top before I braid. After I rub the top with a little olive oil I sprinkle on some Parmesan. It is a hit every time!

Stable prices: check. No growth: check. Record unemployment: check.
Further European Central Bank action to jump start the eurozone economy: Let me get back to you.
ECB President Mario Draghi says he's doing what he can. Interest rates have been held at a record low since last July, and the bank has no plans to withdraw the extraordinary measures it put in place to head off a break up of the eurozone.
But a year after throwing unlimited cash at banks and six months since revealing its untested plan to buy government bonds -- known as Outright Monetary Transactions, or OMT -- the central bank is running out of reasons not to return to the fray.
Only a minority of economists polled by Reuters expect the ECB to lower interest rates when it meets Thursday, in part because a cut may not help much. But some analysts believe Italy's chaotic election and the darkening economic outlook could force the bank to reconsider.
"An ECB rate cut next week now looks likely, and Draghi will stress that the OMT bond-buying program is there to assist if needed," noted Tristan Cooper, sovereign debt analyst at Fidelity Worldwide Investment.
Last month, the European Commission projected a second consecutive year of decline for the eurozone economy and rising unemployment, which hit a record high of 11.9% in January.
Many economists believe the commission's forecast of a contraction in gross domestic product of 0.3% this year to be overly optimistic. The skeptics cite government cuts, depressed consumer spending and a relatively strong euro, which is making life harder for Europe's exporters.
New forecasts from the ECB due this week could paint an even gloomier picture, and with inflation falling to 1.8% in February -- in line with the ECB's target of below but close to 2% -- the bank has room to relax policy further without testing the limits of its mandate to control prices.
An eight-month rally on European stocks has come to an end; the European blue-chip Euro Stoxx 50 index has lost 1.2% so far this year. And government bond yields in Italy, and to a lesser extent Spain, have moved up from early January lows.

Adam Lanza brought three weapons inside Sandy Hook Elementary school on December 14 and left a fourth in his car, police said. Those weapons were a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle and two handguns -- a Glock 10 mm and a Sig Sauer 9 mm.
In the car he left a shotgun, about which police have offered no details. Lanza used one of the handguns to take his own life, although police haven't said whether the gun was the Glock or the Sig Sauer.
In fact many details remain unknown about the weapons Lanza used that day to kill 20 children, his own mother, six other adults and then himself. Here's what is known so far:
Bushmaster AR-15 rifle
The primary weapon used in the attack was a "Bushmaster AR-15 assault-type weapon," said Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance. The rifle is a Bushmaster version of a widely made AR-15, the civilian version of the M-16 rifle used by the U.S. military. The original M-16 patent ran out years ago, and now the AR-15 is manufactured by several gunmakers. Unlike the military version, the AR-15 is a semiautomatic, firing one bullet per squeeze of the trigger. But like the M-16, ammunition is loaded through a magazine. In the school shooting, police say Lanza's rifle used numerous 30-round magazines.
An AR-15 is usually capable of firing a rate of 45 rounds per minute in semiautomatic mode.
Police didn't offer details about the specific model of the rifle Lanza used. A typical Bushmaster rifle, such as the M4 model, comes with a 30-round magazine but can use magazines of various capacities from five to 40 rounds. An M4 weighs about 6 ½ pounds and retails for about $1,300.
Under the 1994 federal ban on such weapons, buying some variants of new AR-15s was against the law. The ban expired in 2004.
Bushmaster is the No. 1 supplier of AR-15 rifles in the United States, according to the company website.
Their weapons are used by more than 100 police departments and by the militaries of 50 nations, according to Bushmaster. Private citizens use them for "hunting, recreation, competition and home defense and security," the website says.

I read about this experiment today, in which a scientist tried to create the most viscous material ever. It was 1927 and the scientist was Thomas Parnell, a physics professor at the University of Queensland in Australia. He poured hot pitch into a glass funnel and then let it cool while his class of students waited for the results. In about eight years, yes eight years, the first drop fell. After nine more years, another drop finally separated itself from the others and made its way downward to join the first.
That kind puts patience into perspective.
Since 1927, a total of eight drops have fallen. What is the purpose of this, you ask? Why would someone purposely torture himself and his students by doing this?
I like to think it's uncertainty. We don't know when the next drop will fall. Maybe also unpredictability. Think about it. In the wide open flow of time that makes up our lives, do we really ever know what's going to happen? No. And if we did, we would never willingly choose to go through half the shit that comprises our human reality. It's too painful, too messy and devoid of fun.
If we're being honest here, pretty much nothing is really in our control. And maybe it shouldn't be. Maybe the beauty is in the surprise, the up and down of our emotions, the high of our highs and the low of our lows. Maybe it's the anticipation that the very next moment of our lives could spin us in a completely new direction, an amazing and true direction, and that this in itself is pretty damn special indeed.

WebStorm 6 — turbo-charge your cutting edge web dev workflow with time-saving tools
WebStorm provides the tools to keep up with the latest and greatest web development innovations, helping you get more out of new technologies on a daily basis.
Free 30-day trial for Windows. Other platforms.
New Technologies
WebStorm 6 supports TypeScript. You can now enjoy TypeScript syntax highlighting, on-the-fly error detection, and code completion.
WebStorm 6 provides streamlined experience for the full development cycle with new languages such as TypeScript, CoffeeScript and Dart. Here's what's available already:
- Automatic compilation/transpilation of these higher-level languages into those recognized by the browsers on all platforms supported by the IDE. This also applies to modern CSS extensions such as LESS and Sass. Read more in our blog »
- Full-featured debugging of CoffeeScript, TypeScript or Dart with the help of source maps. If you have a minified JS, you can debug it with source maps as well. Read more in our blog »
Sass stylesheets are even more awesome in WebStorm 6, with the following features added:
- custom function definition, completion and renaming support
- highlighting for incorrect @-keyword
- support of nested properties, and more
LESS support now includes code insight for mixins and many other improvements.
Google Dart is now supported out of the box, with no additional plugin installation needed. The editor also supports inlining Dart script blocks into HTML files.
For older versions of the IDE you can use this Dart plugin.
CoffeeScript now has its own code formatter options and in the editor support for deconstructed parameters and parameters with @ prefix is added.
Core Web Development
Live Edit, introduced in the previous release, is now easier to get started with and it also supports HTML5 live editing.

Ann R. Holmes
Ann Holmes, stained glass artist and quilter, has been producing site-specific stained glass since 1976. Public glass commissions include several churches and the skylight in the Lyon business building in Batesville, Arkansas. In Asheville, North Carolina, she designed and built windows for the Asheville Area Arts Council and the Grove Park Inn. In 1999, Ann became involved with the Asheville Quilt Guild and had a desire to recreate some of her original glass designs into fabric without the lead line look of stained glass quilts.
Ann prefers the look of a turned edge, so she applied what she learned from hand appliqué to include the background where every patch or piece in her designs is built using a glue stick to turn the edges instead of using needle and thread. In the early stages of developing her technique, she would build a small section of the top and then take it to the sewing machine to stitch. In 2005, foot surgery forced her to think of a new method to finish her project to meet the deadline for the Asheville Quilt Show. She asked herself, Why am I sewing this twice, once for stitching the top and a second time for quilting? No Sewing Until You Quilt It, Anns turned under appliqué technique, was the result.

Barbara Holtzman
Barbaras mother taught her to sew while she was in junior high and she used that skill to make clothes for a long time. Her first quilting project was a hand-pieced bed quilt that took over five years to complete. Then her attention became focused on small quilts, especially miniature quilts. Because she has a full-time job and enjoys sewing, the idea of making a small quilt appealed to her. She could actually finish that! Plus its fun to display the quilts on a wall and admire them (and have them admired!). As Barbara made more quilts, her attention was drawn to the competition side of quilting. Trying to make a quilt good enough to enter into competition helped her get better at piecing, quilting, and all aspects of making a quilt. The design element drew her in because it is another way to be creative. Barbara is able to pick a simple, easy quilt or a complicated design. Its the whole process she enjoysfrom picking out the fabric to putting on that last stitch in the binding.

DHAKA, Bangladesh — The fire alarm: Waved off by managers. An exit door: Locked. The fire extinguishers: Not working and apparently "meant just to impress" inspectors and customers.
That is the picture survivors paint of the garment-factory fire Saturday that killed 112 people who were trapped inside or jumped to their deaths in desperation. For Bangladesh, where such factories commonly ignore safety as they rush to produce for retailers around the world, the tragedy was unusual only in scope: More than 200 people have died in garment-factory fires in the country since 2006.
About 15,000 Bangladeshi workers protested blocks from the gutted fire Monday, demanding justice for the victims and improved safety. Some 200 factories were closed for the day after the protest erupted in Savar, a suburb of Dhaka, the capital.
Protesters blocked a major highway, and some threw stones at factories and smashed vehicles, but there were no arrests and no clashes with police.
Maj. Mohammad Mahbub, fire department operations director, said investigators suspect that a short circuit caused the fire at the factory, which was making T-shirts and polo shirts.
But Mahbub said it was not the fire itself but the lack of safety measures in the eight-story building that made the blaze so deadly.
"Had there been at least one emergency exit through outside the factory, the casualties would have been much lower," he said.
He said firefighters recovered at least 100 bodies from the factory, and 12 more people died at hospitals after jumping from the building to escape the fire.
The government was unable to identify many victims because they were burned beyond recognition; they were buried Monday in a grave outside Dhaka. The government announced that Tuesday will be a day of national mourning, with the national flag flying at half-mast in honor of the dead.
Local media reported that up to 124 people were killed, and that about 100 people injured in the fire were being treated in about a dozen hospitals. Many were hurt as they jumped to escape the flames. Continued...
Survivor Mohammad Ripu said Monday that he tried to run out of the building when the fire alarm rang but was stopped.
"Managers told us, 'Nothing happened. The fire alarm had just gone out of order. Go back to work,'" Ripu said. "But we quickly understood that there was a fire. As we again ran for the exit point we found it locked from outside, and it was too late."
Ripu said he jumped from a second-floor window and suffered minor injuries.
Another surviving worker, Yeamin, who uses only one name, said fire extinguishers in the factory didn't work, "So these were meant just to impress the buyers or authority."
The garment-factory fire was Bangladesh's deadliest in recent memory, but there have been several major factory fires in recent years, including one that killed 63 people in 2006 in southern Chittagong town.
Labor leaders hope outrage over the latest disaster will prompt change. Tahmina Rahman, general secretary of the Bangladesh Garment Workers Federation, says the group wants the government to work harder to punish factories for safety lapses.
"The owners go unpunished and so they don't care about installing enough security facilities," she said. "The owners should be held responsible and sent to jail."
The factory in Saturday's blaze is owned by Tazreen Fashions Ltd., a subsidiary of the Tuba Group that has produced clothing for Wal-Mart, at least in the past. Neither Tazreen nor Tuba Group officials could be reached for comment.
The Tuba Group is a major Bangladeshi garment exporter whose clients include Wal-Mart, Carrefour and IKEA, according to its website. Its factories export garments to the U.S., Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands, among other countries. The Tazreen factory, which opened in 2009 and employed about 1,700 people, made polo shirts, fleece jackets and T-shirts.
Tazreen was given a "high risk" safety rating after a May 16, 2011, audit conducted by an "ethical sourcing" assessor for Wal-Mart, according to a document posted on the Tuba Group's website. It did not specify what led to the rating. Continued...
Wal-Mart spokesman Kevin Gardner said online documents indicating an orange or "high risk" assessment after the May 2011 inspection and a yellow or "medium risk" report after an inspection in August 2011 appeared to pertain to the factory. The August 2011 letter said Wal-Mart would conduct another inspection within one year.
Gardner said it was not clear if that inspection had been conducted or whether the factory was still making products for Wal-Mart. If a factory is rated "orange" three times in two years, Wal-Mart won't place any orders for one year. The May 2011 report was the first orange rating for the factory.
"Our thoughts are with the families of the victims of this tragedy," the retailer said in a statement. "While we are trying to determine if the factory has a current relationship with Wal-Mart or one of our suppliers, fire safety is a critically important area of Wal-Mart's factory audit program and we have been working across the apparel industry to improve fire safety education and training in Bangladesh."
In its 2012 Global Responsibility report, Wal-Mart said it ceased working with 49 factories in Bangladesh in 2011 because of fire safety issues, and was working with its supplier factories to phase out production from buildings deemed high risk.
Bangladesh has some 4,000 garment factories, many without proper safety measures. The country annually earns about $20 billion from exports of garment products, mainly to the U.S. and Europe.
The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association said it would stand by the victims' families and offered 100,000 takas ($1,250) to each of the families of the dead. Tazreen's owner was meeting with representatives of the group Monday afternoon.
"We will discuss what other things we can do for the families of the dead," The association's acting president, Siddiqur Rahman, said Sunday night on Rtv, a private television station. "We are worried about what has happened. We hope to discuss everything in detail in that meeting."
Another fire broke out Monday in a 12-story building housing four garment factories, but the fire department said it was quickly doused and there were no casualties.

Position | Professor School of Environmental and Life Sciences |
Office | C318, Chemistry |
I obtained my BSc (Hons) and PhD in organic chemistry from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland. At the completion of my studies I took up a postdoctoral position at the University of Queensland in the area of reactive intermediates chemistry (spectroscopy at -261 ºC). After a 2 year stay, I changed research direction working alongside Professor Ron Quinn at Griffith University as a synthetic medicinal chemist. It was here I developed an interest in medicinal chemistry and teaching.
In December 1995 I was fortunate to secured a position as lecturer in organic chemistry at the University of Newcastle.
My team (the ones who do all the work) is responsible for >125 research publications and we have secured ~$25M in research funding since my arrival in Newcastle.

Research expertise
Medicinal Chemistry;
* Inhibition of Protein Phosphatases as a therapeutic Strategy
* Inhibition of Dynamin GTPase
* Prevention of Pre-term delivery in Humans: Agonists & antagonists of Corticotrophin Releasing Hormone (CRH)
Green Chemistry;
Overarching Interest is in the application of organic chemistry strategies in the development of new therapeutic agents (Organic and Medicinal Chemistry). Additionally, given environmental and public concerns relating to Chemistry we are driven by a desire to develop Green Chemistry approaches in our organic and medicinal chemistry targets.
Emphasis is placed on solvent free reactions, atom efficiency, replacement of volatile organic solvents with environmentally friendly equivalents (ionic liquids), and evaluation of the most efficient synthetic routes to the desired end-points. My group's primary interests are in developing novel compounds with the ability to inhibit a number of signal transduction pathways.
The potential outcomes of our research include (but are not limited to) the development of new synthetic methodologies; the development of new drugs & the development of new tools for dissecting signal transduction pathways.
I am a teaching and research academic who believes that nurturing students and introducing to a positive research experience is one of the pillars of teaching at the University of Newcastle.
My research can be classified as either medicinal chemistry or chemical biology. I am known for the development of elegant approaches to highly focused compound libraries of biologically active compound. My team has established considerable corporate knowledge in the area of clathrin mediated endocytosis and its implications in neurological diseases, eg epilepsy. This led to the establishment of the dynamin modulators platform of which I am team leader (chemistry). This team interacts with, and supplies the only known endocytosis inhibitors to research teams worldwide (UK, USA, Germany, Denmark etc). I am also an integral component of the development of new anti-epileptic drugs alongside the National Institute of Health, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (Bethesda USA).
I head the chemistry component of the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (supported by Ramaciotti) Centre for Kinomics (CFK), a new approach for direct profiling of cellular kinases, a multi-million dollar initiative providing a unique service to multiple research teams throughout Australia. Kinases are the cancer drug target of the 21st century. The CFK offers a unique opportunity to profile biological probes (drugs) and cellular kinases to identify new therapeutic targets, new uses for old drugs and rapid IC50 determination of individual compounds against the entire cellular kinome (cellular complement of protein kinases). The CFK at the University of Newcastle has established one of the first fully equipped flow chemistry laboratories in Australia comprising the ThalesNano H- and X-cube, the Syrris FRX and Syrris Africa work stations, and the VapourTech 4 pump -70 ºC unit. This facility is purpose built for the rapid optimisation of medicinal chemistry pathways and will significantly accelerate the initial optimisation phase of the UoN chemistry component of the multiple drug development pipelines initiated. I am also director of the University of Newcastle Priority Research Centre for Chemical Biology.

Excellence in teaching is less tangible, thus the recognition of both my peers and students via this award is of greater significance than all the research success to date. The greatest contribution to research comes via inspirational teaching and engendering a zest for learning and questioning.

I Attack The Darkness – Evil and Good in Role-Playing Games
Posted on : 23-03-2012 | By : Rodney | In : General
Tags: Christianity, evil, God, good, myth, religion, Role-playing, RPG, story, versus
Boden raised his holy symbol high above his head, calling down a searing beam of light into the valley below. The seething mass of living dead bodies recoiled, flailing their arms in an attempt to shield themselves from the holy light and backing away from their victims.
"Evil will not triumph this day!" Boden muttered under his breath.
The story of the battle of good versus evil is as old as time yet as engaging and important as always. We love the hero and we want him or her to win, and in their victory we learn something of ourselves: heroism, humility, honour, whatever it may be. You see, the story of the battle of good versus evil is our own story. It is tied to our existence and as important as the air we breathe.
For good to exist, at least in a story, there must be the opposite force. In any good story there is evil. In real life there may be two parties with opposing views, neither one necessarily evil or good per say, just not agreeing with each other. In a story like Spider-Man, The Lord of the Rings, David and Goliath, Gladiator, and the Matrix, there is an evil that the hero must overcome, and by the darkness of evil we see the light of the "good" hero all the more brightly.
Because of the evil enemy, role-playing books are usually full of all types of monster, demon, devil and horror. They are the darkness that players want to defeat. Role-playing sometimes gets a bad rap from many religious organizations because of this evil content. It's probably not surprising, even though there are Christian role-players out there, like myself. But in stories, we realize the need for that evil oppressor, the mad villain or the terrible dragon. Without Sauron, the Hobbits would have never left for Bree, Rohan would never have come to the defended of the White Tree and JRR Tolkien would not be as famous a story teller as he is today.
Edit: I came across a great post from Christian blogger Berin Kinsman that supports what I'm saying, so I'm plugging that in here:
Nearly everyone I know that's involved in the roleplaying hobby, whether they play in fantasy settings, superheroes, horror, espionage, and any of the myriad styles and genres, typically engage in basic good-versus-evil stories. Even the folks I know who play games where they play monsters enjoy wrestling with and exploring the moral and ethical dilemmas and the angsts and drama. It is social, it is creative, but it is fiction. There is, on some level, a degree of redeeming social value to go along with the escapism.
The story of good versus evil teaches us a lot about our real selves. It teaches us, I think, that we want goodness and peace, we dislike oppression or unfairness, and we realize that peace doesn't come from inaction but that often people had to die for freedom. As a South African it's easy to think back on how activists like Mahatma Gandhi worked for freedom, through personal effort, suffering and hardship.
I think a wise GM looks at his campaign…
…and asks "what are we (the PC's) fighting for?" It may, in a small part, be to defeat the tyrant, push back evil from the land or put the dead to rest, but what is the higher cause? Even if a new, more powerful set of armour motivates most of your players onto their next quest, I think you'll find a deep hunger for the good to win out against evil. It's part of what makes us human.

All our game drives are led by experienced Rangers, who have many years of guiding experience. Being permanently stationed in the Serengeti, they know where the game can be found, and share hour-by-hour information on where the best viewing opportunities lie.
We are one of the very few operators who use local spotters to augment our Rangers' eyes and ears. These members of the indigenous Kuria tribe sit at the back of each vehicle, using binoculars but also their innate skills and powers of observation to detect movements, spoor and other signs of hidden animals.
These young men are superb spotters, and by employing them we save them (and local wildlife) from their only other form of income: poaching. In this way, everyone wins: Bushtops gains local expertise; the Tanzanian authorities minimise poaching; you benefit from the sharpest human senses on the Serengeti (no one knows the bush better than those who have spent days on foot searching for prey); the Kuria get a fruitful and sustainable livelihood – and wildlife is left unpoached.
