"The Elephanta Caves Really Rock!!!" Top 5 Page for this destination Elephanta Island by aadil
Elephanta Island Travel Guide: 130 reviews and 312 photos
The Elephanta Caves are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and are one of the two sites in Mumbai city, the second one being the erstwhile VT or Victoria Terminus Building now rechristened the Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus after the warrior king of Maharashtra State. This island is hardly an hour's boat ride from the Apollo Bunder (ferry port) with same day return tickets (you cannot stay overnight on the island) for luxury (Rs110) and semi luxury (Rs100) boats (motor launches) available from the ticket counters near the Gateway of India and it is near the mainland towards the east of the island city of Mumbai. There is not much else to see except the caves built roughly inbetween 600 - 635 A.D. Actually these are not caves but the whole structure has been hewn out of one single piece of rock from the mountainside and using just hand tools and not having any machine tools in that period speaks for itself about the master craftsmen. These caves are dedicated to Lord Shiva the deity who is known as the creator, preserver and destroyer of the universe. The central 'trimurti' (triheaded) sculpture which is the most famous of all the sculptures on this island as it is also the best preserved of the lot as it was detected only later on and not damaged by the Portuguese soldiers as were the rest of the sculptures which now do not have many faces, hands and feet thanks to their target practice using firearms!!!
- Pros:Beautiful rock sculptures from the past hewn out of one piece of stone.
- Cons:Not well preserved or maintained though it is a World Heritage Site.
- In a nutshell:You have to see it to believe it is made of one single big stone!!!

Great pages. Can't wait to visit!
That's a must-see place!! Besides, I love visiting UNESCO sites! I would like to see the monkeys too, here we have them only in the zoo:) So sad that the soldiers ruined these beautiful carvings...
You are so right... these caves do really rock ! You're also right that it's seriously time for me to think about that so-often-postponed trip to India... !! :) Greetings from both of us...
Interesting page, Aadil. I'd be enthralled by the plethora of ancient carving and art. My daughter would find the coke-drinking monkeys to be a riot, too. :)
great page!
You seriously can consider being a curator for all museums and of course Elephanta Caves. Great and accurate write-up on the caves. Great stuffs here. Bee :)
Great tips and nice pics on Elephanta.
Aadil, looks like this is the place for me. You know, I've been enthralled by Hindu mythological carvings since Angkor.
Fantastic page, tips and place. Haha, monkeys! I've seen them only in Gibraltar and zoo. Wow! Great to see Chiara :-)))
Once when i was at the Batu Caves in Malaysia, i had a moneky grab my coke and run away with it!! And the caves sound very cool, wish we had more time in Mumbai...

The Liberal Senate Forum
A well-known New Brunswick lawyer and engineer, Senator Joseph A. Day was appointed to the Senate by the Rt. Honourable Jean Chrétien on October 4, 2001. He represents the province of New Brunswick and the Senatorial Division of Saint John-Kennebecasis.
Honourable senators, last spring I brought to the attention of this place the number of Aboriginal children in care in my province. I subsequently have learned that there are now more Aboriginal children in care throughout this country than the number of children who in total attended residential schools. This should cause all of us to look at this matter very carefully.
Perhaps a good place to start would be to look at the June 9, 2011 report of the Auditor General and to examine the concerns that she raised with respect to Aboriginal children on reserves. Let me quote directly from that report. She said:
It is clear that living conditions are poorer on First Nations reserves than elsewhere in Canada.
She said:
In our view, many of the problems facing First Nations go deeper than the existing programs' lack of efficiency and effectiveness. We believe that structural impediments severely limit the delivery of public services to First Nations communities and hinder improvements in living conditions on reserves. We have identified four such impediments: lack of clarity about service levels, lack of a legislative base, lack of an appropriate funding mechanism, and lack of organizations to support local service delivery.
In our view, many of the problems facing First Nations go deeper than the existing programs' lack of efficiency and effectiveness. We believe that structural impediments severely limit the delivery of public services to First Nations communities and hinder improvements in living conditions on reserves. We have identified four such impediments:
She went on to say that the reason for lack of clarity about service levels was because the federal government has not clearly defined the type and level of services it supports.
As to a lack of legislative base, the Auditor General states that the federal government has often developed programs without establishing a legislative or regulatory framework for them.
As to a lack of an appropriate funding mechanism, the Auditor General has stated that there is uncertainty about funding levels.
As to lack of organization to support local service delivery, she stated there were few organizations to support service delivery within First Nations communities.
The Auditor General went into more details with respect to child and family services. For example, she restated what had been stated earlier, in 2008: that First Nations children were eight times more likely to be removed from their homes than other Canadian children. She stated that First Nations children were the most vulnerable members of society, that 5 per cent of all children were in care, and noted that had there had been no notable improvement in the number of First Nations children in care since 2008. She stated that in the 2008 audit, INAC was asked to define its expectations for culturally appropriate services, but she noted that INAC has still failed to deliver and to define comparability.
She also stated that the department has not conducted a review of all social services available in the provinces to see even whether they are the same as to what is available to children on reserves. She found that the progress in child and family services was unsatisfactory.
As with my earlier inquiry, I implore our Standing Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples to examine this issue.
Honourable senators, many of us frequently pay lip service to the statement that children are our most precious resource. Aboriginal children are Canadian children. I believe they, too, must be valued, and yet it would appear that they are significantly devalued in our society. They have the poorest health and educational outcomes. They have the highest suicide rate. They have less money spent, by 20 per cent, on their welfare when they are taken into care.
Honourable senators, it is imperative that this institution take the initiative and study the means by which all children in Canada have equal value.

Since credit is material to a company, most public companies are required to file their agreements either as an 8-K or as part of their Q's or K's. They are usually difficult to find. If you can get a date of the facility this can help narrow down the number of filing you need to dig through on Edgar.
(Managing Director at Global TaxFin Advisory Group LLC) | Apr 10, 2012
Hi Linda,
Actually, there's an extremely useful and mostly free website that has already done the legwork by collecting the legal agreements from SEC filings. They do charge a fee for some but you can find many agreements at no cost.
You can look at Loan category or search the site for your kewords. Please let me know if you need additional help.

The Senate is responsible for approving treaties put forward for ratification by the president. The CRPD was signed by the United States in 2009. Unfortunately, at the time the CRPD was first presented to the Senate, it was not approved, falling just a few votes short of the required two-thirds vote.
Adobe is adding its voice to the chorus of organizations and advocates that believe the CRPD is an important step toward ensuring people with disabilities have equal access to government services, employment opportunities, and technological advances. One of the expectations of the CRPD is that ratifying countries will adopt standards for information technology accessibility. In order to facilitate the goal of equal access, it is critical that the adopted standards be harmonized to ensure that software from companies such as Adobe, developers creating content, and assistive technology vendors can focus on a single global standard for accessibility rather than needing to address unique requirements in each country.
The United States, through legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, has already affirmed that disability must not be a barrier to entering a building, finding and keeping a job, interacting with government officials and services, shopping, dining out, or moving from place to place. Other U.S. laws guarantee equal access to education, voting, buying a home, catching a flight, and even watch TV shows on the Internet. While there is still work to be done, the foresight of bipartisan U.S. policymakers over the decades in creating a legislative framework that moves this country toward equal access for all people is now being emulated worldwide. Ratifying the CRPD will further show the world that these are the values we should all share.

]]>If the PDF/UA specification could be summed up in one sentence, it may go something like this:
"PDF/UA makes certain that the PDF format isn't the source of accessibility problems."
The end result of a document built using the PDF/UA spec is a more reliable, more accessible document that avoids the tricks and traps that PDF can present. PDF authors don't need to know anything specific about what goes on behind the scenes; the tools themselves are responsible for adding and preserving the accessibility of the PDF. That's the value of PDF/UA.
That does not mean that a PDF/UA-compliant document will always be perfectly accessible—issues like poorly-built Word documents or other source material will, of course, carry their accessibility flaws no matter what format they're converted into. No one should claim that PDF/UA conformance means that a given document will pass the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, and organizations shouldn't treat PDF/UA as a WCAG stand-in. But conformance does indicate that the authoring process for a given piece of content retains its accessibility level when it's output as a PDF.
The PDF/UA specification defines conformance for three different aspects of PDF: content, readers, and assistive technology. The authoring tools are intentionally omitted: only the content they produce matters here, and that can only be measured at the individual document level.
We've seen a number of organizations that are specifying PDF/UA-compliant documents, and that's a worthwhile approach, as far as it goes. The revamped accessibility checker in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI bases its tests on PDF/UA and WCAG criteria, but doesn't yet fully test PDF/UA compliance.
The PDF/UA document itself is 23 pages, and thanks to ISO's publishing model, it's about $90 US to purchase a copy. We're sensitive to the cost issue here, but in the interest of full disclosure, Adobe doesn't own this work (it was the product of participants from a number of companies, and its copyright belongs to ISO), so we're not able to simply republish the spec. To those who are planning to implement PDF/UA in their readers and assistive technologies, $90 is not a barrier (and if you promise to implement PDF/UA in an open-source tool, I'll buy you a copy myself, though I'm sure I'd get the better end of that deal).
The material is what we in America call "inside baseball"—it's very technical, requires a solid understanding of PDF internals, and is heavily cross-referenced with ISO 32000-1:2008, the PDF 1.7 specification. If your goal is to author accessible PDFs, this is not the spec for you; you're better off looking at the PDF Techniques for WCAG 2.0. However, I've taken the liberty of summarizing this spec so that everyone has a chance to understand what conformance entails.
The spec starts by listing what PDF/UA does not do: help with converting paper or electronic documents to PDF/UA; give implementation advice for rendering PDF documents; or tell you how to store PDFs or what OS to use. The rest of the front matter includes normative references to WCAG 2.0, PDF 1.7, PDF/A-2, and PDF/X-1a; defining a handful of terms; and setting a namespace for PDF/UA metadata which goes into every conforming file.
The document then defines conformance at three levels: individual files, PDF readers, and assistive technology.
A conforming file contains features that are valid according to the PDF 1.7 spec, except for features PDF/UA specifically forbids. It has to be marked as a PDF/UA document as described in Section 5, and meet all the requirements in Section 7 below.
A conforming reader must also be a conforming reader according to PDF 1.7. It will support all the tags, attributes and key values specified for accessibility, and respect when optional content is hidden. It will make the logical reading order available. It will allow AT to inspect artifacts, and its interface must itself be accessible, and not interfere with any AT feature.
There are some repair techniques for headings and tables, rules for handling optional content, attached and embedded files, digital signatures, actions, metadata, navigation, annotations, forms and media.
A conforming AT supports all of the features of the content and the reader, and should allow navigation by page labels, document structure, or the outline. It should also let the user override default navigation zoom. (A combined reader and AT, perhaps something like TextHelp's PDF Aloud, could be both a conforming reader and a conforming AT.)
This is the meat of the spec, and there's some good advice in here for those of you who are already well-versed in tagging PDFs.
All PDF/UA documents must be tagged PDF. Tags must be semantically appropriate (that is, you can't just mark everything <p> and be done), and in logical reading order. Artifacts (sometimes referred to as "Background" in Acrobat) must not be tagged. If a PDF does anything non-standard with its tags, those tags have to be remapped to standard PDF tags. Standard tags can't be overridden.
Content can't flicker, blink or flash, and it can't be conveyed solely by color, contrast, formatting, layout or sound. Image-only PDFs may be created, but their content must also be tagged.
The document must have a title, and it must be displayed in the title bar.
Text must be Unicode. The document's language, and any changes in language, must be declared.
Graphics must be marked up with the Figure tag, and must have alt text, unless it's presentational, in which case it's an Artifact. Groups of images that represent one thought are to be tagged as a single Figure. Captions that go with figures must be tagged as such.
Headings must be nested sequentially (e.g., H1-H2-H3 is acceptable, but H1-H3 is not). Headings can go as deep as necessary (e.g., H1041 is valid, if you've used the first 1040 levels). Generic "H" headings are acceptable, but can't be used interchangeably with numbered headings.
Tables should have headers ("TH" tags) with a Scope attribute.
Lists must be marked up appropriately.
Math equations must be in a Formula tag, with alt text.
Page headers and footers must be marked up as Pagination artifacts, so they're not read out repeatedly.
Footnotes and endnotes must be marked up with the Note tag.
All optional content configuration dictionaries (a PDF feature which allows content to be hidden conditionally) must be named.
Any embedded files must also be accessible.
Article threads (which allow multicolumn layouts across pages) must retain proper reading order.
Digital signature form fields must be laid out accessibly.
Non-interactive forms have to be tagged with PDF "PrintField" attributes so they will appear as read-only form fields to AT.
Static XFA-based forms are allowed. Dynamic XFA forms are not.
Secured documents must allow AT access.
Documents should have outlines that reflect the reading order and nav hierarchy.
Visible annotations must be represented in the right place in the reading order.
Tab order must be defined.
Links must be tagged, and contain an alternate description.
Metadata tags must be properly set for embedded media.
Actions (i.e., scripting) are allowed. Changes in content or focus must be announced to AT, and cannot set time limits on individual keystrokes.
There are requirements for the implementation of fonts that are well out of scope for an overview, but important for reliable rendering of fonts across operating systems and reader implementations.
So, that's it. We're hoping a little transparency regarding PDF/UA helps everyone understand what it does and doesn't do. In time, we anticipate that PDF/UA will make accessible authoring a more automatic and uniform process across authoring tools, which in turn will make the accessibility of PDFs in the wild a lot better in general.
]]>While mega menus, in many flavors, are fairly ubiquitous these days, thanks in part to the thumbs up given to them by Jakob Nielsen in his 2009 article Mega Menus Work Well for Site Navigation, we had a hard time finding many good examples for accessibility.
We think our approach strikes a decent balance between user expectation for global navigation, keyboard navigability, and screen reader access, and we felt that others might find it useful if we shared some of the thinking that went into our choices.
Our first major decision in implementing our Adobe.com mega menu was to respect user expectations for global navigation. As an accessibility engineer, it's tempting to want always want to implement the appropriate WAI-ARIA design pattern for the widget I'm developing. In this case, working on a menu, I looked to the WAI-ARIA Menu or Menu bar (widget) design pattern which describes the keyboard interaction and WAI-ARIA roles, state and properties for a list of links presented "in a manner similar to a menu on a desktop application." This would seem to fit the bill, but it's somewhat problematic when implemented in its entirety for global navigation.
The design pattern specifies that the menu be treated as a single stop in the tab order, after which the arrow keys move between the menu and submenu items. This is the way application menus behave in desktop applications, and it improves accessibility for keyboard users because only one tab key press is required to move from the menu to the next focusable element in the application. However, for global navigation, we feel that most users still expect to be able to tab to at least the top level links in the navigation, and that the discovery of a jump in focus from the second link in the site to the search input, skipping all other top-level navigation items, could be confusing and would require unnecessary explanation.
Our implementation permits tab focus on each of the six top-level menu items. When one of the menu items has focus, pressing the Enter key, Spacebar or Down arrow will open the submenu panel, and pressing the Left or Right arrow key will shift focus to the adjacent menu item. Links within the submenu panels are included in the tab order when the panel is open. They can also be navigated with the arrow keys or by typing the first character in the link name, which speeds up keyboard navigation considerably. Pressing the Escape key closes the submenu and restores focus to the parent menu item.
The menu bar design pattern defines WAI-ARIA roles, state and properties. Some of these are also problematic when used in global navigation. If we use role="menu" for the menu container and role="menuitem" for each of the links therein, assistive technology will no longer interpret the links as links, but instead, as menu items. It is common for users of assistive technology to use a shortcut command to open a list of links in a web page. This allows them to quickly find a desired link without hunting through all the other content on the page. It's a killer feature. If we use role="menuitem" on links within our global navigation, they will no longer show up in the list of links identified by assistive technology. Cue the sad trombone.
We also want to maintain the semantic structure of the submenu panels in our mega menu, our links are organized into lists and separated by headings. Omitting role="menu" and role="menuitem" for the global navigation seems the safer way to go.

]]>Andrew Kirkpatrick, Group Product Manager for Accessibility, has been offered and accepted the role of co-chair of the WCAG WG, along with Joshue O'Connor of the National Council for the Blind of Ireland. Andrew and Joshue will take the place of Gregg Vanderheiden, who has chaired the WCAG WG since its inception, and Loretta Guarino-Reid, who played a pivotal role shepherding WCAG 2.0 to its final status as a W3C Recommendation in 2008. Both Loretta and Gregg will continue to participate in the WCAG WG, and we at Adobe Accessibility extend our gratitude to them for their years of effort moving the field of accessibility forward.
Andrew's role will include the rechartering of the working group, to define goals for the working group and the WCAG standard in the coming years, as well as to reflect its continued development of accessibility techniques and other supporting materials. Andrew would like to hear from people from all different backgrounds on how the WCAG WG can help advance web accessibility overall. Apart from his Twitter account, @awkawk, leaving a comment here is one way to reach him, or you can submit a comment to the WCAG working group via the online form.
]]>Andrew will also be a panelist on the Progress Toward an Accessibility Profession session, which will be on Thursday at noon in Mohsen AB, 3rd Floor, and should prove a robust exchange of ideas.
We don't run a booth at CSUN, but we'll be happy to meet with you all during and after our sessions if you have questions or comments about any of the products we make.
]]>Since then, Greg has advocated internally for improvements and worked with external customers to promote the use of the accessibility features in Acrobat, helped countless end users with disabilities understand the accessibility support features available in Adobe Reader and other Adobe tools, and contributed substantially to efforts to help other tools such as Adobe InDesign and Adobe FrameMaker create accessible content. Greg has also worked for many years to make the PDF/UA accessibility standard for PDF documents a reality, contributed to the Authoring Tools Working Group at W3C-WAI, and engaged with the Section 508 refresh committee (TEITAC) on behalf of Adobe.
Comments from colleagues and customers speak volumes about Greg's impact.
Victoria Richards, Government Customer
I met Greg Pisocky for the first time at an IDEAs Accessibility Forum in Washington DC. I immediately appreciated his extensive knowledge about the issues and his honesty about the ability and limitations to solve accessibility problems. Greg was instrumental in giving me a voice with the Adobe Acrobat team. He is an invaluable source of knowledge and ideas which have greatly improved the workflows to create accessible PDFs. Greg, thank you for helping me improve the products I create for people with visual impairments.
Noha Edell, Sr. Solutions Consultant, Adobe Systems Inc.
Greg Pisocky, a juggernaut of the movement of accessibility, a quintessential liaison between customers, product management, and engineering, and a relentless advocate who dedicates his life to improve the lives of the less fortunate. Greg understands the importance of accessibility and the needs of the customers working with it. His steady contributions to the products teams helped propel Adobe's advancements in accessibility across products. Happy 20th Anniversary, Greg, it is an absolute honor to work with you.
Duff Johnson, Chair of the US Committee for PDF/UA
Greg led the charge on PDF/UA since the beginning, and showed me the ropes of tagged PDF. Greg combines a gentle demeanor with a fierce passion for accessibility and for his work. Every government agency in DC owes much of its successful use of Acrobat to Greg Pisocky.
Loretta Guarino Reid, Adobe Acrobat Engineer (emerita)
Greg Pisocky was one of the earliest champions of PDF accessibility at Adobe. He was a great partner to accessibility engineering, helping us to understand the needs and priorities of our government customers, and giving them information about new accessibility features in Acrobat. I loved working with Greg and I'm grateful for his part in the PDF accessibility story.
Those of us on the accessibility team appreciate Greg's knowledge and valuable contributions – thanks Greg, and congratulations!
]]>A recent example is one of our newer products, Adobe Edge Inspect—one of a host of apps we're working on to make HTML-based development easier for developers, designers and testers. Edge Inspect has three components: a desktop application that runs in the System Tray on Windows or the Menu Bar on OSX, which connects mobile apps running on iOS and Android to a Google Chrome extension, allowing testers to browse and debug the same mobile site across numerous devices simultaneously. It's one of those apps that you don't know you need until you know you could have it.
When I saw this demo last year, once I picked my jaw up off of the floor, I grabbed their demonstration iPad and turned on VoiceOver, the screen reader that's built into iOS. This is usually how I shame mobile engineers. (Who says accessibility people can't have hobbies?) But to my surprise, most of what was there already worked. Before they'd done any custom work, the Edge Inspect team had built a tool that would let me test mobile accessibility use cases alongside the visual layout.
Adobe Accessibility's Michael Jordan worked with the Edge Inspect team to complete the job, both by tying up loose ends (like naming buttons and ordering controls), and by introducing accessibility features into the Chrome extension. That work is shipping in the latest version of Edge Inspect—which, by the way, you can get just by signing up for a free Adobe Creative Cloud account.
It's important to remember that it's not just the end user of a mobile site who may have a disability; your developers and testers may make use of that support as well. We talk a lot with our colleagues at all levels within Adobe about the role accessibility plays in what we create, and how people build upon our work. We can talk about how this or that is required by law, or by policy, but sometimes, as with Edge Inspect, we find a great opportunity to expand both the audience and the capabilities of a tool, with just a little polish. We have even more improvements coming soon, but more importantly, by working together, we have another product team that's taking a broader view when it comes to designing for their users.

An animated explainer video to show what visual thinking is.
It's finally done. Or, to be more accurate, I'm stopping work on it so I can move on to other projects. As I mentioned in previous blog posts (here and here), I took on this project with the intent to visually show the different types of visual thinking. The plan was to have a video that people could use or even download to show in meetings, in presentations, on blogs, wherever, to promote interest in learning how to think visually.
Visual Thinking Is… from Jeff Bennett on Vimeo.
If you'd like to download this video to use in meeting, presentation or to promote a VizThink event you can download the .mov file by right-clicking on the link below.

Hotel Guest Reviews of the Laplaya Beach And Golf Resort
Our hotel ratings and reviews are from real hotel guests. Priceline.com ensures that its reviews are guests-only by proactively sending hotel surveys to customers after they've completed their hotel stays. In the post-stay surveys, priceline.com hotel customers are asked a number of questions about their stay and the hotel. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, the survey asks guests to rate their overall experience and specifically rate the hotel's cleanliness, staff and location. Priceline.com does not allow site visitors to post unsolicited hotel reviews.October 5, 2011

I am use to 5 star accomodations and dont like tight quarters. The room I stayed in at Laplaya was a mini suite and I loved it. It was bright and airy. The bed and pillows were soooo comfortable and I am very picky. The staff absolutely takes the best care of you. The room service was the best I have ever had. Best of all was the location of the hotel. The prettiest beaches you'll ever see and they are literally right out of the back door. The gulf is clear and blue. The landscape is emaculant. I'll be back. ...

Staff very friendly. Ice machine room on 2nd fl was not clean (someone left old food). Rooms clean and bathrooms were spacious.

May 13, 2011
My husband and I went to Laplaya for our 25th wedding anniversary. It was one of the best vacations we have had. The resort was beautiful. The rooms were very nice. Our room was in the building across the street from the main hotel. The view overlooking the bay was beautiful. I cannot say enough about the staff. They made us feel very welcome. The beach was fabulous. I felt like I was in the Carribean. The pool area was beautifully landscaped. The restaurant food was excellent. This was a pleasant surprise as we have not found that to be true in most places we have stayed. Eating dinner in the restaurant at sunset is a must. I hope to be able to go back again next year. ...
May 13, 2011
Everything was wonderful, exceeded all expectations. Hotel staff were friendly and always ready to assist you. The restaurant was great, beach great and rooms great. Will definitely return and highly recommend.

Manchester United Message Board
Utd continue to struggle!!!
Take a look at todays Utd friendly match and tell me the score.
What's your team's score pandy...
- 1 Reply to seven of eleven
7-1 but it was an amateur Austrian side.
Well done Utd you looked the business.
- 1 Reply to AndyPandy
I wouldn't go that far, it was a bit like those all star exhibition matches, the score could have just as easily been 7-5 or 0-0!
We dont take friendly results too serious in these here parts, its only those gooner muppets who take pre-season serious, but to be fair, its the only time they win any silverware, and its usually their own home made trophy!!!
In the 48th minute it's 2:1 to FC Seoul.
Perhaps we should be playing an amateur team in the Austrian 4th division?- 1 Reply to Eric Cantona
Chill out. I am sure you win anyway. Its just a windup.
It was just too tempting after seeing the Liverpool continue to struggle thread.

Though it feels fairly normal for this time of year in Utah right now, much of the rest of the country is being iced by the ominously named polar vortex.
Luckily, North Americans are making the best of the record-low temperatures by doing record-cool experiments. In the video above — posted last week by a YouTuber in Canada — the cold turns boiling water fired from a water gun into a snow-like mist.
Something similar happens in the video below, where a guy in Wisconsin throws a pot of boiling water out the window and it turns into fluffy mist.
And here's another pot of boiling … snow, from this time from Indiana.
And finally in this last video, a guy from an Iowa sports apparel company shows a shirt freezing solid in about 60 seconds. Suddenly Utah's forecast of temperatures in the upper-30s doesn't seem so bad any more.

" GREAT again! Did everything in the project AND explained what they did AND gave helpful tips! I have hired them a few times! Always very quality work! "

" All in all I was very pleased with this project. Albert is by far more helpful and friendly than most other freelancers I have worked with, and that alone made this project enjoyable. On top of that, he did a great job. There were a few problems along the way, but he quickly got to the root of the problems and made them right. If practical I'd want him on my team full-time. "

Francis Kadenge was one of the finest right winger from Kenya every young football player with ambition wished to emulate in the 1980s when AFC Leopards was a mighty force to reckon with.
He was in the thick of things for Leopards when they dominated the East and Central Africa Club championship, lifting the crown three times consecutively in 1982, 1983 and 1984.
His service on the field will never be forgotten in the history of Ingwe after scoring the winning goal against stubborn Admarc Tigers (2-1) to lift the title in 1983 in Zanzibar. The tricky winger emerged the top scorer in the tournament.
Kadenge, a product of the famed Bernard Zgoll Youth Centres, packed plenty of speedy, was an excellent, sometimes audacious dribbler and had an eye for goal. He could dribble in tight spots and relished taking on the defence.
His skill was good enough to make him burst into the very competitive Harambee Stars of the 1980s.
Born 53 years ago. November 4, he was raised in Nairobi's South B Estate. Like his more famous father, Joe Kadenge, he played for Maragoli United (Imara FC) before moving to AFC Leopards in 1982 together with the likes of Peter Lichungu, Mickey Weche, Omar Shaaban, Mike Amwayi, Dan Musuku, Issa Suleiman, Peter Ouma, John Arieno and Henry Omondi.
He also had stints in Re-Union in between a professional football sojourn in Oman.
Kadenge came from a football playing family. His younger brother Oscar is currently a Leopards player. His other brother, Evans is an assistant coach at Nzoia United, a Division One side, while another brother, Rodgers, played for the defunct Utalii FC and Volcano United. Kadenge is survived by three sons.
At the time of his demise he was based at Gisambai village in Tiriki, Vihiga County after relocating from Nairobi. He passed on on Sunday at Nyanza General Hospital in Kisumu, a gifted player who brought flair and excitement to Kenyan football.
AFC Leopards 1980s dream XI: Mahmoud Abbas, Pius Masinza, Patrick Shilasi, John Arieno "Papa", Josephat Murila, Abdul Barasa, Francis Kadenge, Haggai Mirikau, Joe Masiga, Wilberforce Mulamba, Mike Amwayi.
By John Ashihundu
Harambee Stars coach Adel Amrouche on Monday released a 20-man squad that is set to jet out on Tuesday evening for Khartoum where they will play an international friendly match against Sudan on Thursday.
Sixty percent of the players are based locally. AFC Leopards lead the tally with five players including Paul Were, Wycliffe Kasaya, James Situma and Jacob Keli.
Leopards rivals Gor Mahia have two players Anthony Akumu and Musa Mohammed, followed by Sofapaka who are represented by Clifton Miheso and Duncan Ochieng'.
The team also has the foreign-based legion comprising former Mathare United forward Dennis Oliech (Ajaccio, France), McDonald Mariga (Inter Milan, Italy) who is making a return to the squad after a two-year absence, captain Victor Wanyama who is based in England at top-flight club Southampton and former Gor Mahia forward Edwin Lavatsa (MC Algiers, Algeria).
"It is important for the team to meet once in a while and play some build up matches ahead of the 2015 Africa Nations Cup qualifiers that begin in June. The coach has stressed that his priority is to see us qualify, so that is our main focus," the team's vice captain Duncan Ochieng's told kpl.co.ke.
Kenya squad: Duncan Ochieng, Wycillife Kasaya, David Owino, Joackins Atudo, David Ochieng, James Situma, Sammy Meja, Musa Mohammed, Victor Wanyama, MacDonald Mariga, Anthony Akumu, Peter Opiyo, Johanna Omollo, Francis Kahata, Clifton Miheso, Ayub Timbe, Paul Were, Edwin Lavatsa, Dennis Oliech and Jacob Keli.

[QUOTE=chefjw;54445782]Details would be great.
I already posted some details, did you want to know some thing in specific? |
I just did direct because I didnt have any handy. And also I am pretty sure that the amp on the rocketfish board already has some filtering to protect the tiny driver from blowing out with too much bass. If you are using expensive drivers I would suggest a simple non-polarized cap in series with the cap value chosen based on the freq response of the speaker. For most midrange 8 ohm drivers this would be about 40uf. If you don't have driver chosen yet then take a look at the wolf's PC design I linked. I would love to see pics af what others are doing. |
Cowguy, what were the specs on the speakers you put in the logbox and connected directly to the old speaker leads?
I'm browsing Parts Express and looking to do something similar with one of mine, basically just upgrade the speakers. I wasn't sure if the rocketfish amp had enough to power a larger 2" or 3" speaker. I also forgot to measure the resistance of the original speakers before I threw them away. |
Sorry for the late response, the original speakers are 4 ohm ( am not sure about the power but must be < 1 w) . The ones I used inthe boom box are 6ohm about 10 watt. The real worry here is loading the amp not blowing out the speaker. Any 3-4 inch full range driver would work well as long as its reasonably efficient. Yep I did connect directly to the leads. |
Then again, if 6 ohm speakers worked fine it's possible that 8 ohm may be okay too. |

Hey Darlene - you'll notice the new profile badge - I wanted to provide a bit more visibility to those who are helping members connect offline. Thanks!
Darlene, I am a member of a B2B networking group that meets every Wednesday morning at 8:30 am at Milton's on Six Forks and Strickland Road. I would like to invite you to visit us as my guest. If not this week, maybe another time.
Darlene, it was nice meeting you at the InSider BIG Lunch today. I will keep you in mind if I hear of anyone wanting to buy or sale a home. Hope you had a nice Valentine's Day.
Join us on Tuesdays, 9 a.m. Common Grounds Apex!

Hi Darlene. I look forward to meeting you sometime. I am passionate about all things holistically health related. Having practiced as a nurse for 27 years I our health care sorely needs and over haul. I begin with food and lifestyle choices and also have been working with essential oils as an adjunct to healing. I would love to share more with you!
Thanks, Darlene, for your wonderful comments. I'm sorry that we did not have time to talk more this morning over coffee. Hopefully, next week we can find the time. Have a great week.
Sounds good. I was trying to do the same-and then had to head to the office. We will talk the next time. Thank you.
Hey Darlene,
I found this in my inbox that need me to respond do you still have these meetings? and when do they meet.
Hey Darlene, want to take a minute and personally Thank you! for being Inside919, I wish you and yours Happy Holidays, a Very Merry Christmas and the Most Successful 2013 possible.

How HBO's 'Girls' Can Be Just As Soft And Fuzzy As 'Gilmore Girls'
3:30 pm, December 3rd | by Laura Donovan
Remember wholesome, well-adjusted, ambitious, fast-talking Rory Gilmore? She and mother Lorelai made life look easy and positively blissful in 2000 hit show, "Gilmore Girls." Then 9/11, a series of natural disasters, a recession, and a pervasive problem of twenty-somethings with attitudes happened and made us all cynical and frowny. Enter HBO's "Girls," a program about the travails of dating, loving, and working as a Millenial. These shows paint quite different portraits of what it's like to be a young aspiring writer and lady, but video editor Marc Butcavage has re-imagined "Girls" through the warm-colored opening credits of "Gilmore Girls," giving the contemporary show a completely different vibe than the one we know.

G-Technology G-Drive Slim (500GB, USB 3.0)
Price Range: $64.99 - $132.34
CNET Editors' Rating: 3.5 / 5
The good: The G-Technology G-Drive Slim offers fast performance and a nice design for a relatively friendly price.
The bad: The G-Drive Slim could be a little more compact, and it doesn't come with any bundled software.
The bottom line: Those with a notebook computer, especially a MacBook Air, will find the G-Drive Slim a very good companion.
Design, Features & Performance (out of 10)
Features: 7.0
Performance: 8.0
G-Technology's G-Drive Slim is the latest in a trend of ultrathin USB 3.0-based portable external hard drives on the market, directly competing with Seagate's GoFlex Slim and WD's My Passport Edge.
And the new G-Drive is indeed very slim, almost as thin as the GoFlex, but it's clearly wider and longer than the My Passport Edge. Still, it definitely belongs to the small group of compact portable drives currently on the market. The new drive supports USB 3.0 and showed very good performance in my testing. That, plus its sturdy build and the affordable price of around $90 for 500GB, makes it an excellent buy for mobile users, especially MacBook Air owners.
But you can use the G-Drive Slim with any computer, including Windows machines, as long as you know how to reformat it. If you want a drive to use with Windows right out of the box, I'd recommend the GoFlex Slim or the My Passport Edge.
Drive type | 2.5-inch external USB hard drive |
Connector options | USB 3.0, USB 2.0 |
Available capacities | 500GB |
Capacity of test unit | 500GB |
Dimensions (LWH) | 5.06 inches by 3.23 inches by 0.39 inch |
Weight | 0.33 pound |
OSes supported | Windows 2000 or later (reformatting required), Mac OS 10.4 or later |
Software included | None |
Design and features
The G-Drive certainly is slim, at 0.39 inch, and it looks thinner than it actually is. The G-Drive's aluminum chassis looks good, and matches the design of the MacBook Air.
On one side, the G-Drive Slim has one Micro-USB 3.0 port. This port works both for data and power. All you need is a standard Micro-USB 3.0 cable (a foot-long cable is included) to make the drive work. Being bus-powered is now a standard feature on USB portable drives. The G-Drive supports USB 3.0 but also works with USB 2.0. I tried it with many ports on many different computers, and all of them were able to power the drive and get it connected to the host computer.
The G-Drive Slim is designed for Mac and is preformatted in the HFS+ file system. Once plugged into a Mac running OS 10.4 or later, the drive works immediately, and it supports Time Machine. In my trials, it worked with Windows computers, too, though as I mentioned, I needed to reformat it into NTFS, which took a few seconds. Otherwise, plugging it in is the only thing you need to do in terms of setting it up.
The new drive doesn't come with any software. This is mostly because you can just use it with Time Machine for backup purposes. Windows users will have to get third-party software for that.
The G-Drive Slim performed very well as a USB 3.0 portable drive. It's not the fastest I've seen, but it was faster than drives of a similar physical size in many of the tests.
I tested the drive with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. When used with USB 3.0, the drive offered 87MBps and 100MBps for writing and reading, respectively. For these two tests, the My Passport Edge registered 83MBps and 98MBps, and the GoFlex Slim averaged 82MBps and 102MBps. Overall, the G-Drive Slim outdid its rivals in most of the tests, by small margins.
When used with USB 2.0, the drive scored 26MBps for writing and 33MBps for reading, slightly below the average. The G-Drive Slim worked very quietly in my testing and produced no vibration and almost no heat at all.

Sturdy, compact, fast, and nice-looking, the new G-Drive Slim USB 3.0 portable drive makes a great companion for mobile users, especially those with a MacBook Air.

My interest was in reaching mobile viewers. The Wikipedia article on XHTML gives the impression that HTML 5 is now the interoperability horse that W3C is betting on. This supports g1smd's comment.
The article also reports that "Simon Pieters researched the XML-compliance of mobile browsers[29] and concluded 'the claim that XHTML would be needed for mobile devices is simply a myth'". I will keep my eye on HTML 5.
Thanks for the comments.

In a letter to the Dail's Public Accounts Committee the HSE's director general Tony O'Brien writes that 'payments to Mr Kiely could not have been made by the CRC without funds received from the friends and supporters of the CRC'. Meanwhile Brian Conlan, Paul Kiely's successor as CEO of the CRC, has been discussing salary top-up payments with the Dail Public Accounts Committee this morning Irish Times Industry correspondent Martin Wall has been following this morning's proceedings.

YES, it did, I almost pulled the trigger 20% down from the peak at $56.52, and wished I had, now I have to wait and see if -20% will bounce and hold! Sucks!

Thief offers up moments of stealthy satisfaction, but not nearly enough of them to make up for its many rough edges, bland level designs, and god-awful plot.

"The third-generation Apple iPod Shuffle is as light as a feather and as small as a paper clip, and it includes VoiceOver cues, and improved support for podcasts and audiobooks."
"You need to operate the Shuffle using a pill-size remote control on your headphones, battery life isn't great, features are few, and the design is a bit boring."
"The third-generation iPod Shuffle is the next best thing to an invisible MP3 player, but the quirky controls and microscopic design make it a limited recommendation."

Halloween is for scary stuff. Mostly just pretend scary stuff, but scary stuff nonetheless.
But you want to know what's truly scary? All that candy, sugar, and junk food. Forget the horror movies, the haunted houses, and the 70s costumes, the real frightening stuff is the crap you're feeding yourself in the name of fun.
And the crap we're handing out to kids. Ugh! I'm not sure when I turned into the old handing-out-raisins lady of the neighborhood, but I'm sure as heck not handing out any candy. Winslow, my boyfriend, suggested fried eggs in Ziploc baggies, but I'm not so sure of the logistics on that one personally. I am contemplating requiring burpees before any handouts, though. 10 burpees per raisin box! We're going to be the not very fun house at the end of the cul-de-sac this year, I'm afraid, but I just can't stomach handing out Snickers, M&Ms, and Smarties to innocent little children. It's like turning them on to drugs, but somehow our society says it's okay.
How are you handling Halloween? Are your kids going to come home with pillowcases full of candy? Are you going to let them eat it? What are you handing out?

Our Services
To help our clients succeed by bringing in top talent, we provide a focused set of services:
Recruiting Impact Players With a thorough understanding of the roles and dynamics of the specific positions our clients are seeking to fill, we conduct global searches for the best combination of experience, knowledge, vision, and cultural fit.
Identifying Prospective Board Members Because of our high-level connections throughout the industries we serve, we can find the most knowledgeable and visionary executives to help our clients add depth, breadth, insight, and perspective to their boards.
Qualifying Internal or External Candidates As a retained firm, we care only that the best candidate is hired, not who identifies the best candidate. Consequently, we interview and evaluate both external and internal candidates with the same rigorous objectivity so that the client may make a final decision with confidence.
Conducting Customized Research and Assessments Depending on our client's needs, our Principals and researchers can provide individualized information and perspective on compensation, internal management issues, and other industry-specific topics.
If the selected candidate is asked to leave the organization for reason of poor performance within 12 months of the date of hire, Kincannon & Reed will conduct a new search to replace this candidate for out-of-pocket expenses only. We have only had to perform on this guarantee a handful of times in well over 1,000 searches since 1981.
We have extensive experience recruiting for all functional areas in senior management.
Our Services
"You consistently challenge us and broaden our thinking and horizons. You are able to show that sometimes what we think we want is very different than what we need."
- Human resources director for a major crop input company
"We ended up with the ideal candidate combination, and one we would not have envisioned ourselves. Your firm's knowledge of the sector was invaluable as it led to opportunities beyond the search."
- Managing director of a private equity firm
"In addition to finding us great candidates, you worked adeptly and sensitively with all our internal stakeholders. Widespread ownership in the selection process will help our team extend to new hires the support they need for success."
- CEO, privately owned artisan bread company
"We have worked with all the big global firms, and Kincannon & Reed has been easily the most thorough and professional."
- Head of human resources of large multinational company
"We appreciate that you are always reachable and that you never give up even when we all know the search is extremely difficult."
- Chairman of major distribution company
"Thank you for your excellent assistance in this process. The tight search timeline was respected and I believe that the candidate will bring much value to our company."
- CEO for crop input company
"When this search started you indicated one of your goals was to provide a slate that would be so good that we would have difficulty choosing just one candidate. You far exceeded that goal."
- Business unit president for global animal health company
"One of our Senior VPs commented early on that hiring a retained firm was not our best investment of time and money. On our last conference call, however, he indicated he's become a true believer in Kincannon & Reed, and wanted to go on the record as retracting his earlier comment."
- VP of HR for multi-billion dollar, family-owned grain company
"Kincannon & Reed is universally respected and relied upon for quality partnership and mentoring when it comes to senior-level executive searches."
- Former CEO of major agribusiness organization
"Kincannon & Reed has good instincts for people and works hard to know the organization they're serving. "They do a magnificent job matching qualified candidates to the organization."
- Director of Biotech Business Development, multinational agricultural biotechnology organization
"Even when we're not using them, the Kincannon & Reed team keeps in touch because they seem genuinely interested in what we're doing. So when people ask me who we should turn to, I invariably point them to Kincannon & Reed."
- CEO of animal genetics and technology firm

Abilene Habitat is a nonprofit, nondenominational Christian housing ministry that invites people of all backgrounds, races, and religions to build together in partnership with local families to eliminate substandard housing from the city of Abilene.
Thanks to the countless hours of service contributed by committed volunteers and the monetary and material donations provided by the Abilene community, 153 homes have been built or renovated to provide simple, decent shelter for local families.
Habitat builds homes in partnership with hardworking, low-income families and the community. The homes are sold at no profit with zero-percent interest mortgages to partnering families, whom we have prepared to be successful homeowners.
We can use your skills in construction, photography, cooking, graphic design, event planning, and more.
Support Habitat's mission to build a better Abilene, one home and one family at a time.
Habitat partners with churches and businesses interested in sponsoring a house.
Donate or shop, we carry new and used building materials with new inventory daily. Open to the public
Everyone is invited to celebrate with Habitat and First Baptist Church as Dr. Phil Christopher blesses Sophia and her new home!
