PTFE Sheets
Many don't know what the term vacuum forming does or how it can help them in their company, although they have heard it, but they don't know what it actually means.
A kind of thermoforming, vacuum forming is a process where PTFE sheets, a PVC sheet, heats up so that it becomes malleable. The warming procedure includes the application of aluminum plates and infrared heaters. The heat application will come from the bottom and the top so that it will provide the greatest results and is uniform.
Once the heat finally reaches the right temperature (which may differ on the basis of the depth of the PTFE sheets in use) the vacuum will cast the product to be formed by the sheets. The vacuum is not unable to supply an air-tight environment, which will be better for the general molding procedure.
As the PTFE sheets, it is going to shrink slightly, and this is something which you might have to consider if you are setting up the procedure. You could also need to do some. The results are well worth it, although it may take sometime to become adept at the vacuum forming procedure. It's also possible to find businesses that'll perform the process for you, which will be a great idea for many.
From Vacuum Forming products. With such a thermoforming, one could create innumerable kinds of products, and you might find your company could benefit considerably in the process. Certainly one of the most typical products using vacuum forming now are children's PTFE toys, but that's only one of the possibilities. Product packaging is another choice, and it's one most businesses that create, make, package and sell products could use. Most of the PTFE sheets that you see around office and your home have gone through some kind of thermoforming, and it is often the vacuum process.
The many advantages of Vacuum Forming. One of the first benefits when you begin vacuum forming that you will detect is that you will have the capacity to make multiple products in the mould that you employ. When you have the appropriate training and the forms set up, making the products will go much faster. You may be able to raise your output, when you have a number of exactly the same cast available.
Obviously, vacuum forming is just one of the numerous different options available with thermoforming and making products from PTFE. It is always recommended to study all the various choices and after that select the one that suits the products and your business that you're attempting to create.

For those who are into fat basslines...
fat009- Vandalz Ink- 'Trial & Punishment'
And I just bought a white label by everyone's favourite, 'artist unknown', with tracks called 'The Wall' and 'Crazy Diamond' which are deep, dirty breaks tunes with Pink Floyd samples over the top of bowel-tearing basslines. And I don't even have (vinyl) decks. Duh!
Funky Dung
I was buying records way before I had decks, so your not alone. At least you'll have a reasonable collection of tunes to practice with once you get yours.
I've got thousands and thousands and thousands of CDs and CD decks already, unfortunately. And they need upgrading on top of me now wanting vinyl decks as well. Doh!
PS - heard Krafty Kuts' Bunker Buster out for the first time the other day. Now THAT's a big bassline...!

How much is all the tea in China actually worth?
If you wouldn't do something for all the tea in China, are you cheating yourself? China produces 855,190 metric tons of tea leaf annually. At commodity prices of $1.86 per kilogram, you're missing out on at least $1,590,653,400. Feh. Next time, tell 'em you don't get out of bed for less than all the coffee in Brazil - $6,645,461,089.

Where are my keys?
Most brains can handle only five to nine short-term memories at once. Newer information - phone call! ice cream! - can bump a previous memory out of storage before it's committed to long-term recall. Even worse, new memories tend to merge with permanent ones, muddying the recollection of ritual activities. Michael "Professor" Solomon, author of How to Find Lost Objects, says it's easy to accidentally substitute one routine motion for another. So look for your keys where you normally put your wallet. If that fails, check the car, the sofa cushions, the door lock, and (duh) your pocket. You're probably staring right at them.

Why do hot dogs come in packs of 10 while buns come in packs of 8 or 12?
Bakers tend to package their wares in dozens or in other multiples of three or four. Meatpackers sell by the pound, and a standard hot dog is 0.1 pounds. Oscar Mayer insists that only 10 consumers - or is it 12? - write in annually to complain.

What is belly button lint?
A survey by Karl Kruszelnicki of the University of Sydney suggests that a mixture of clothing fibers and dead skin is "surfed" into the typical belly button by mid-weight happy trails. Mena Suvari and Britney Spears are spared this indignity, as were our Cro-Magnon ancestors. Why? Mena's outie doesn't collect it, Brit's piercing blocks it, and Ogg's thick body hair stopped fuzz migration.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?
Licking machines built by engineering students at Purdue and the University of Michigan hit the chewy center in an average of 364 and 411 licks, respectively. But robot tongues aren't the most efficient. Tests involving actual people have determined that it really takes 252 swipes at most.

Why do fools fall in love?
Blame the neuro-chemicals that fuel the brain's built-in reward system. Triggered by the sight (or smell) of that special someone, the brain releases dopamine, upping the desire for sex. Serotonin levels plummet, creating that "can't live without you" feeling. The attachment chemicals, oxytocin and vasopressin, also kick in. No fool can resist.

Colden Common children's charity boosted by £1,000 donation
10:31am Saturday 5th January 2013 in News
A HAMPSHIRE charity has received a £1,000 donation from a firm of solicitors based in Southampton and Salisbury.
The Joe Glover Trust, based in Colden Common, near Winchester, was handed the cash by Southampton and Salisbury-based Trethowans.
Jane Wilmshurst, regional officer at the Joe Glover Trust, said: "This will really help us continue to support families going through a very difficult time while their child is receiving treatment for cancer."
Suzanne Foster, an associate and member of Trethowans' Charities Committee, said: "We are delighted to be able to make this donation to the Joe Glover Trust who make such a difference to children's lives. All the children and their families are truly inspirational."
The Joe Glover Trust was formed in 2007 following the death of eight-year-old Joe Glover to non-hodgkins lymphoma, and is run by parents with firsthand experience of dealing with cancer.

Well, you didn't have to imagine it because legendary Japanese Pro Wrestler and Pride matchmaker Antonio Inoki did it for you and booked a matchup between former champs Josh Barnett and Tim Sylvia at his Inoki Genome Federation (IGF) last September.
The match features an attack before the bell, a brawl in the audience, a body slam onto an announcers table and an armbar on an announcers table. It seemed like the only thing missing was a chair shot. IGF Genome 13: Josh Barnett Vs Tim Sylvia (via bjfromarattlesnake)

LIGONIER — Fairfield volleyball coach Carla Herschberger wasn't all that pleased with what she saw from her team in its Class 3A West Noble Sectional quarterfinal contest against Wawasee Thursday night.
But the Falcons, despite struggling at times, still advanced to Saturday afternoon's semifinals with a 25-18, 25-15, 25-15 sweep over Wawasee.
With the win, the Falcons (28-7) will face either NorthWood or Lakeland in a semifinal matchup slated to begin at about 12:30 p.m. West Noble and Tippecanoe Valley will meet in the other semifinal at 11 a.m.
The semifinal winners face off at 5 p.m. for the sectional championship.
Herschberger said her team was playing too tentatively at times.
"We're a young team, and many of our girls were seeing their first sectional action tonight," Herschberger said. "We were overthinking things out there at times."
Herschberger said she wanted some of the younger players to take this message away from Thursday night: "That's one under your belt."
The Falcons led comfortably in all three matches, and got out to a 7-1 lead in the second game.
Wawasee, however, kept it close at times, cutting the Falcon lead to 11-8 in the second game before Fairfield pulled back ahead. The Warriors trimmed Fairfield's advantage to five at 19-14 before the Falcons closed it out with six straight points.
It was a similar story in the third game, as Fairfield got out to an early 14-9 lead before seeing Wawasee inch to within two at 15-13. A timeout helped settle down the Falone, who closed with a 10-2 flourish down the stretch to finish off the Warriors.
Falcon senior middle hitter Haley Brown said as a team leader, it's her job to help acclimate the younger players to what to expect at tournament time.
"When we make mistakes, we can't dwell on it," Brown said. "We have to come together, put it behind us and move on."

Google Map API conflicting with jQuery
I am having problems getting Google Map API v3 to work when i also have also included jQuery in the document. If i remove the jQuery script source:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.min.js"></script>
the Google Map display's fine but when it is included it doesn't appear. Does jQuery conflict with the Google Map javascript?
Mar 24, 2012, 08:39 #2
Ok, it's not down to the jQuery source at all. Seems to be not appearing in a normal Div. I can figure this one out on my own

Well this is my first buckethead listen and it's realy amazing. After i'v been listening to praxis transmutation and c2b3 the big eyeball in the sky I can tell that buckethead is one of the craziest guitarist i'v heard in my life. Monster and robots is an eclectic kind of speed metal and funk psychedelik music combined with energy and originality. If your a Claypool fan as well as me listen to the nice bass track he did on this cd. Also the buckethead bass riff is amazing. realy a good buy
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Monsters and Robots is a great album. Buckethead has created an album of great intensity and incredible listenability. The music ranges from heavy metal shredding to hip hop to trailblazing guitar noise. The guest musicians (Les Claypool, Brain, Bootsy Collins, DJ Disk) are fabulous and help create the album's unique sound. The album also does a great job of capturing the feel of a live Buckethead performance. (The album art by Dave McKean is also great.) For a similarly mind-blowing experience with a little more hip-hop/dance feel, check out El Stew, a band featuring Buckethead, Brain, and DJ Disk.
While Colma may have shown the best of Bucket's softer side, Monsters and Robots takes the cake for Buckethead's electric work. And what an album it is. Allow me to take a song-by-song review:
1.) Jump Man- Great song, an effervescent opener that reall gets the blood flowing. Bootsy cracks me up on this track, and all of Buckethead's trademark shredding is in place. 5/5
2.) Stick Pit- Awesome follow-up to Jump Man, Stick Pit continues the shredfest with its high-pitched sampling and non-stop guitar. 5/5
3.) The Ballad Of Buckethead- The "single" from the album, this is really more of a Les Claypool song. Whereas Les sits off to the side on most tracks such as Stick Pit, Revenge of the Double Man, and Nun Chuka Kata, his bass is clearly the centerpoint of this tune. The lyrics are excellent, the bass and drums booming, and Bucket's chilling guitar adds greatly to the song, although minimally- that is, until the solo kicks in. 5/5
4.) Sow Thistle- This song includes Bootsy talking over a loop, while Buckethead adds some creepy horror movie guitar. This is an example of Buckethead's techno side, with shredding of course. Not for everyone, definitely for me though. 5/5
5.) Revenge Of The Double Man- This song is one of my favorites on the record: Les and Brain hold the groove while Buckethead tears. PhonosycographDISK, also known as DJ Disc, adds a great scratch solo over the top of this tune. Buckethead then proceeds to rip his guitar in half (or so it sounds) on another amazing guitar solo. 5/5
6.) Night Of The Slunk- An acoustic, laid-back version of the groove from Jump Man. Buckethead then picks up the slack with some electric guitar, and really adds some interesting licks and solos amidst the acoustic setting. Out of nowhere come insane guitar patches, only to recede back into darkness to let the acoustic guitar shine through again. A wah-wah solo closes the tune. Quite a good track indeed. 5/5
7.) Who Me?- Up until now, the album has been pretty much going strong and running wild. Here, Buckethead slows things down with an acoustic interlude. However, gentle as it may be, menacing it remains, as in the background, there seems to be the sounds of something terrible happening…unless thats just Buckethead breathing through his mask. You be the judge. 5/5
8.) Jowls- My favorite song on here. Jowls is the best example of a great Buckethead song- Tremendous grooves, insane ripping, loops, horror-movie licks, and absolutely terrifying vocals and guitar patches. Can one ask for more from a Buckethead tune? 5/5
9.) The Shape Vs. Buckethead- Buckethead and Michael Myers face off- Double M with his giant blade, Bucket with his guitar pyrotechnics. Bootsy and Ovi Wey narrate the battle, and PhotosychographDISK adds sound effects. The winner?…listen to find out. 5/5
10.) Stun Operator- If you were on a rollercoaster from hell in Buckethead's theme park Bucketheadland, this song would be playing as gravity took you to your demise. Needless to say, a creepy and excellent song. 5/5
11.) Scapula- TechnoBucket. I'd list this under "songs that might not be for everyone" along with The Shape Vs. Bucket and Sow Thistle. This song includes a very dance floor-type guitar pattern, with soloing over the top of it. A great tune, and an excellent addition to the album. Still, a very strange Buckethead tune nonetheless. 5/5
12.) Nun Chuka Kata- There is only one way to end a Buckethead album, and that is to shred until there is nothing left to give. Nun Chuka Kata encapsulates what is left to give from Buckethead, as he serves it to us with a one-two punch. The album ends on a great note as Buckethead launches into a full-on solo that truly makes the album complete. 5/5
Yes, I realize I gave every song a perfect rating. But that is because they all contribute to, in my opinion, Buckethead's finest effort thus far. Although parts aren't for everyone, if you are truly a Bucket fan, you will definitely enjoy every second of music on here, like me. Beginners out there, buy this and Colma to start, and then make your call. Veteran fans, add this to your collection and make your Buckethead variety loads better. Skeptics, pick this up and prove yourselves wrong.
buckethead's best work is when he feels free to be himself and not obliged to consider sounding like someone else, and on this CD he is totally at his best; perhaps having claypool around does not hurt either. i have listened carefully to most of his work and this i believe is head and shoulders above the rest. one has to determine what it is they seek from an artist and in buckethead's case it is his raw fingernumbing bunkerbeat and great turnpike sound. i appreciate his ability to be very tasteful and even classical, but someone who calls himself buckethead has to consider his own invention above all else and that's what he's done on this his finest work, in my book, to date! This CD will not leave you twitching for full throttle because it's all there.
Most people I know who own or have heard this album thought they were buying a straight up guitar player album. THIS IS A WARNING FOR ANY WHO THINKS THIS! The songs are divided into two categories. 1. (robots) These songs sound similar to (but not exactly like) Satriani's "Engine's of Creation". A mix of techno, rap, and guitar music. 2. (monsters) Songs like Primus with more guitar up front (these are my personal favorites). If this sound interesting to you, hurry up and buy it! If not, go buy Satriani or Johnson.

Canyon, TX - Baseball fans in Canyon now have a brand-new facility to play in - but getting it done took a little financial finesse.
In today's (Jun. 15) meeting, city commissioners heard a progress report on the Kent Johnson Memorial Baseball Complex - and progress has been good.
The initial budget for the four-field complex was about $600,000 - but the lowest bid was a little over a million. So after weighing the long-term benefits against the short-term costs, the city took a financial leap of faith the bring the project to fruition.
"You really have one chance to do something right, and that's the first time you do it," says City Manager Randy Criswell, "After that you're either fixing it, or you're retrofitting it, or you're regretting it. And so the City Commission said, 'Let's just do it. It's over our budget, it's a million-dollar project, we have a little over half of that in the budget, but let's do it anyway.'"
Much of the cost was provided by the Canyon Economic Development Corporation, which is a "Type-B" EDC, meaning they can fund projects that generate jobs, benefit retail, or raise quality of life. The Kent Johnson Memorial Complex was considered a "quality of life" project, and the EDC provided $850,000 to fund the complex and two other projects.
"Over the years we were able to bank about $400,000, budgeting a little every year and then putting it away, and that rate ... we'd still be dreaming about this project," said Criswell.
The EDC gets its money from sales tax revenue, so property taxes are not affected by their decisions.

Sellafield nuclear site partly closed after radiation alert
Updated 10:16am Friday 31st January 2014 in News
THE Sellafield nuclear site is being operated at "reduced manning levels" following "the detection of elevated levels of radioactivity".
Operator Sellafield Ltd said in a statement: "As a result of a conservative and prudent decision, the Sellafield site is operating normally but with reduced manning levels today.
"This follows the detection of elevated levels of radioactivity at one of the on-site radiation monitors at the north end of the site.
"Essential workers only are being asked to report for work.
"Levels of radioactivity detected are above naturally occurring radiation but well below that which would call for any actions to be taken by the workforce on or off the site.
"The site is at normal status and employees and operational plants are continuing to operate as investigations continue. All our facilities have positively confirmed there are no abnormal conditions and are operating normally."
One worker said that only safety and essential staff were in work today.
He said other employees had been told not to turn up for work, but had not been given any details of what had happened at Sellafield.
He estimated that thousands of workers were affected.
The worker said an air sampler on a perimeter fence had detected a problem, which led to staff being told to stay away.
It is understood nothing has been detected inside the plant.
There was speculation that safety staff were checking to see if there was a malfunction in the air sampler.

Houston Rockets rookie forward Royce White is optimistic that he and the team can reach a resolution that will bring the two sides together.
At the same time White, who has been away from the Rockets since last Sunday, wants to do what is best for his daughter, Samone, and son, Royce Alexander White II.
Which means if he and the team cannot reach a conclusion that he believes will help him with his mental illness, White will walk away from the game because he said his top priority is to be there for his children.
"I have a son," White said in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. "I have a family. I have a daughter. The importance of having a father is paramount.
"For me I grew up without a father for a good portion of my life. I just wish my dad would have been there, whether he's broke or rich. That for me is why I stand on that so heavily because I understand the importance of them needing me, regardless of the style of life I can give them.
If I allow the health ramifications to come I'm risking my life because we don't associate mental health consequences with fatalities, but we know that that's the case.
"Somebody is drinking to offset the stress from anxiety and they flip their car and they kill themselves, they kill somebody else, that's fatal," he said.
White, who said his decision to leave the NBA if he and the team cannot overcome their problems is "totally etched in stone," suffers from general anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder.
"We have a chance here, myself and the Rockets, to not only right this situation, but to just grow together," White said. "We're talking about writing an addendum that addresses mental illness in a specific way, which you have to do, because as much as mental illness is a health issue, it's a very individualistic health issue.
"I know they want to learn about this. I think that's what people are missing here. This isn't a me versus them thing. This isn't us being at-odds thing. This is them being in a new, very unique situation. Them not being totally familiar with the situation has very health-related symptoms for me.
"It's not about the Rockets being blamed. The Rockets have tried to support me, but knowing how to support, is just as important as trying."
White confirmed an ESPN report that he will meet with Rockets general manager Daryl Morey on Monday to discuss his situation.
However, he said that meeting will not produce immediate results.
"It can't be that fast," White said. "We have to do it justice. There's no quick fix for mental health issues, because it's a gray area. It may take more time, but taking more time is the right thing to do.
"The Rockets have been great in saying 'we understand that we don't know a lot here.' The Rockets asked me 'what can we do better or how can we support you?' I've been writing some ideas based on what I know about mental illness and what I know about myself of trying to create a nice, sound protocal to add in there. I'm making great progress."
White said Monday's meeting will help lay the foundation for producing the protocol that will help get him in his comfort zone.
"I think the meeting on Monday is more to settle a lot of things and to clear a lot of things up," White said. "What we did in preseason and what we did when I missed training camp was say 'we need to put a plan in place', but we brought me back while the plan was being put in place.
"In my opinion that was not a wise choice. I think we should have waited until the plan was solid and we had thought out the contingencies and we had made it as fail-proof as possible."
White missed the first week of training camp while he, his agents and the Rockets put a plan in place that would help with his anxiety issues, which includes a fear of flying.
The Rockets allow him to drive to games when it is feasible.
White said the reasons he has been away from the team this time are related to his mental illness.
"The first thing that happened was I had the migraines," White said. "That was in the Portland game (Nov. 3) and I had the migraine there and I had to miss that game.
"Then there were some things that were communicational issues. I never want to blame anybody, because not knowing isn't the same as a malicious act, but it can have negative consequences.
There were some communicational issues for me personally on how I need to be communicated with based on the fact that I suffer from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and I need things to be very organized and very prompt and very ahead of time.
"That you can call high maintenance if you want to, but if you educate yourself and you start to understand what mental illness is about and you look at it as a medical issue, it no longer becomes high maintenance. It's just something that's a reality. I started to continue to have migraines and I had them for about three days. They would come and go. I think that was the start of it," White said.
"I had to tell myself 'what is it that's causing the migraines?' I know that's related to my mental illness, because I can feel myself being stressed and other things like that. Scratching the surface we find other things that are kind of again, not their fault and not a malicious thing, but there's just other things that were going on that hilighted that my mental illness wasn't being looked at as a total medical issue.
"Just for an example, I wouldn't have gotten fined if it was a medical issue."
White said he is not getting fined as long as he continues to see Dr. Aaron Fink, who the Rockets have requested to help him with his anxiety and OCD.
"It was put in articles that I had blown off doctors," White said. "That's what I mean by the nature of the situation makes it ultra-sensitive and I think those things just have to be mended, but that they can be mended
"I've actually been seeing Dr. Fink. I've met with him about three times now. The very first day that they offered Dr. Fink as an option, I did call him. The mix-up was is that did I have to go in physically or not, and that was just a communication issue between the three of us, me, Dr. Fink and the Houston Rockets.
"One of the great things that came from me going to see Dr. Fink is that he agrees that the Rockets are becoming better aware of what mental illness is about and the way that it's perceived, is a great thing."
White said there is a misconception that he is upset that he has yet to play in the regular season.
"That's not an issue and I have no problem not playing," White said. "I sat a whole year at Iowa State. I sat from the sidelines and actually learned a lot of great things from sitting and I've learned a lot of great things just this year from sitting. I was enjoying that.
"Again, I think that the communication is the issue here. When you talk about the communication between myself and the coaches and the front office, it has be addressed how the communication goes specifically for me, because communication is one of the greatest enemies or can be allies for somebody who sufferes from mental illness, especially the ones that I do like OCD and anxiety. Obsessive compulsive disorder is you have to know. You have to talk. You almost have to over talk.
White knows the Rockets would like him to work on his game with their affiliate in the NBA Development League.
He has no problem with that decision, but he is unsure how that will mix with his mental illness.
"It's something we'll have to talk about," White said. "Anything that I do from an operational standpoint you have to consider what it does for me from a health standpoint.
That is something that I will ask that my doctor and their doctor can make a recommendation on. There is no place where you can't consider my illness.
"It's something that's all to be discussed and I can't even predict that," White said. "I think we're a long ways from even deciding anything about that."
White certainly understands the value for a rookie like himself to play in the D-League.
"I have no problem going to the D-League," White said. "I think that the D-League is a great way for young players to enhance their game and make sure that sitting on the bench and not getting any minutes is kind of offset. I think it's a great thing for the league in general.
"Again, It's not about the D-League. It's not about what the D-League offers me from a basketball standpoint. You also have to think about what the D-League offers from a health standpoint.
Me even getting back to practice is a back-burner issue. Again, I say that at any point where you want to get something right, you have to be willing to take the time to do it."
White said he knows the Harlem Globetrotters announced that what they have to offer might be an alternate way for him to earn a living by playing basketball.
While he is honored by their gesture, White said it is not something he will pursue.
"For the Globetrotters to be paying attention, in one sense it's an honor," White said. "In another sense for them to extend a hand and saying they understand and they want to support is a great honor.
"It's just not being discussed amongst us. It's not something that I'm interested in seeking at this point. I'm really interested in resolving things with the Houston Rockets and getting back on the court and getting a plan in place that not only serves me, but hopefully blazes a trail for other people, not only to get the things they deserve mental-health wise in this work environment, but to prevent the things happening later that always you see happen.
And White believes he and the Rockets can find some middle ground.
"Yea I do," White said. "I think that it's possible. I'm a humanitarian. I believe in Humans, and everybody who is involved here and all the choices that are being made are being made by humans.
"At the end of the day humans, we should be able to figure anything out, theoretically."
White would like to see that happen.
"It's really important to me," White said. "I feel like I still have things I can lend to a basketball team in an athletic way. I want a chance to be able to do that. I want to play.
I just don't want play at the expense of my health and I think it's important to try and solve it. If we can get it done then I'll be able to have both, hopefully.
"It's not Royce versus the Rockets. We're a family. We're just trying to make it right and making it right sometimes is tough and sometimes it even gets nasty, because two sides don't want to agree.
"In the end you usually come to a resolution."
The Rockets declined comment for this story.
On Tuesday Morey said he and the Rockets continue to support White in a statement released by the team.
"We are committed to his long-term success and we will continue to support him now and going forward," Morey said.

I saw this UI guideline http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...mples_provided
where it mentioned that
Back button is used to exit views and the app
Now I have a question on this back button operation.
Let me give you a scenario :
When I launch the Ovi Store application it brings me the home page with a toolbar at the bottom. There is the Cross (X) button on the left of the toolbar. But when I click on any of the application to download a new page comes up and theCross(X) button changes to a Back(<--) button. When I click on the Back button it navigates to the previous page and once I am back to the home screen again I see the Cross(X) button. And to close the app I click the Cross(X) button.
Now according to the guideline , does it mean that we should NOT use Cross(X) button at all, rather there should be only one Back button, which should perform differently in different situations. Like when I am in Page2 and click the Back button it will bring me to the home screen and on home screen when I click on the Back button again it closes the application.

Five members of a Vermont family were arrested following a dust-up at the front gate of a popular New Hampshire amusement park.
Two police officers were injured in the melee at Canobie Lake Park, which apparently started after members of the Perry family were asked to remove knives they had strapped to their belts before entering the park, according to Deputy Police Chief Shawn Patten.
After members of the park's security detail made the request, one man started loudly cursing the officers in front of many other park guests, including several children, Patten said.
Joshua Perry, 23, of Sutton, N.H., was told he was under arrest, but when an officer tried to handcuff him, Perry became combative. Then, other family members got involved. Some threw punches and jumped on officers' backs and others kicked and grabbed for the officers' weapons, Patten said.
Soon, more police arrived at the scene and brought the fight under control.
In addition to Joshua Perry, those placed under arrest were:
- Brian Perry, 18, of Lyndonville, who also faces a felony riot charge, simple assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. He was held on $5,000 cash bail.
- Brian Perry, 45, of Lyndon, who faces felony charges of rioting and second-degree assault, as well as disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and criminal trespass. He also was held on $5,000 cash bail.
- Damian Perry, 18, of Lyndonville, who was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass. He was released on $5,000 personal recognizance.
- Ashley Perry, 20, of Sutton, who was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass. She was released on $5,000 personal recognizance.
Joshua Perry was held overnight on $5,000 cash bail. He faces a felony charge of rioting, resisting arrest with serious injury resulting, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.
Information for this story was reported by The North Andover (Mass.) Eagle-Tribune.

Last week, a group of twenty Tiffany & Co. employees removed their jewelry and donned gardening gloves to clean up trash on the rail yards section of the High Line in anticipation of our High Line sketching classes which starts this weekend. The employees are all part of TIffany 's TeamBuilders Manhattan, a group of staffers that get together for volunteer projects and social activities. Departments from across the company were represented, including the corporate office and the Wall Street and Fifth Avenue retail stores. The all-female crew broke up into three smaller groups and tackled different sections of the High Line between 30th-34th Street, filling nearly 25 bags with trash in just an hour and a half. The bags were then removed by a Parks Department sanitation team.
Amanda Burden, Chair of the New York City Planning Commission, has long been a supporter of the High Line-- she sheparded through the 2005 West Chelsea Rezoning which allowed its preservation. And excellence and hard work was recognized recently.
One of the most exciting furniture pieces on the High Line will be movable chaise lounge chairs located at the Sundeck between West 14th and 15th Streets. These lounge chairs will sit on the original rail tracks, mounted on new wooden ties, and can be rolled into place or set with brakes.
Unobstructed views of the Hudson River will make this one of the most desirable areas to visit on the High Line.
This mock-up arrived last week and is installed near the Gansevoort end.
More photos after the jump.
This remains my favorite proposal for the reuse of the High Line - a mile long lap pool. Nathalie Rinne, an architecture student in Vienna submitted the plan and as part of our 2003 Ideas Competition.
Yesterday, New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussof used Tishman Speyer's winning rail yards bid as an example of a problematic trend in urban development. He explains that misleading renderings are designed (or censored) to prevent public objection, so projects can slip easily through the public review process. Tishman Speyer, or course, is only one example of this, but when the MTA's announcement was made, Ouroussoff noticed,

Published on Saturday, October 2nd, 2010 at 6:00 a.m.
If you've been watching TV the past couple of weeks, you've probably seen a lot of grainy black-and-white photos of President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and your local congressional candidates.
Don't adjust your TV. The black-and-white photos -- which often depict the political leaders scowling, frowning or otherwise looking menacing -- are part of a biennial autumn ritual: the season of attacks.
It's at this point in the campaign that candidates go on the offensive. The political ads will get warm and fuzzy in the final days of the campaign, but for now, the candidates are highlighting the negatives about their opponents.
The fact-checking for our NPR-PolitiFact Message Machine feature has highlighted a couple of trends. Ads from Republican candidates and groups supporting the GOP often try to link Democratic candidates with Obama and Pelosi. The narrators of those ads speak in ominous tones as the unflattering images of Pelosi and Obama are shown. The Democrats" policies are labeled wasteful and "job-killing."
Democratic ads rely on similar techniques, but instead of using Obama and Pelosi as the villains, they often focus on the Republicans" positions on Social Security, alleging that the GOP candidate wants to "privatize" or otherwise wipe out the retirement program.
Independent candidates are also on the attack. In Florida, Republican-turned-independent Charlie Crist is using the same techniques to go after his GOP opponent, Marco Rubio.
Here are a few attack ads that we've rated recently:
• In Ohio, the conservative anti-tax group Americans for Job Security attacked U.S. Rep. Zack Space, a Democrat, for supporting Pelosi and her "job-killing energy taxes, and her wasteful stimulus. And we still lost more than 2.5 million jobs." We rated that Half True.
• In a Wisconsin congressional race, Democrat Rep. Steve Kagen claimed that "politician Reid Ribble wants to phase out Social Security, forcing Wisconsin seniors to fend for themselves." But the ad is wrong in several ways: Ribble is not a politician and has never run for office before. Plus, Ribble's comments about Social Security are taken out of context and twisted. PolitiFact Wisconsin gave this one our lowest rating, Pants on Fire.
• In the race for a Florida U.S. Senate seat, Crist alleged that Rubio tried to insert $1.5 million for a rowing institute into the Florida state budget. But it wasn't Rubio that sought that earmark, it was another lawmaker. PolitiFact Florida gave this one a Pants on Fire!
• Finally, PolitiFact Wisconsin examined a claim by a Milwaukee talk show host that an ad by U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold was a fake. The talk show host claimed that Feingold used a green screen to make it appear he was in front of his house. This one, too, earned a Pants on Fire.

West Henderson boys edge Owen in thriller
Tue. December 03, 2013 at 11:20 p.m. | By John Domansky

After a season of struggling to close out games, the seniors on the West Henderson boys basketball team are trying to change that this year.
Senior Adam Witte (21 points) hit a game-winning layup with seven seconds left to give the Falcons a 71-69 victory over the visiting Owen Warhorses on Tuesday night.
"Witte was solid in the second half. He was a senior leader that put us on his back tonight. He refused to let us lose," said Falcon head coach Billy Phillips.
With the Falcons (2-2) seemingly having the game under control with a 56-41 lead going into the fourth quarter, Michael Pomeroy (26 points) led a furious late comeback effort for the Warhorses.
"Pomeroy killed us tonight. He played extremely well," said Phillips.
The Falcons struggled at times against a tough, full-court press employed by the Warhorses (1-2).
"At times we handled the press. Other times we did not run our offense and went brain dead. Owen played really hard and didn't want to lose," said Phillips.
The first half belonged to senior Nick Ours (18 points) for the Falcons, as he poured in 15 points to put the Falcons up 37-27 at the half.
After a steal at midcourt, Ours pounded home a thundering, one-handed dunk to put the Falcons up 12-4 early in the first quarter.
In the opener, the Lady Falcons were not able to match the Warlassies 14-0 second half run, as they fell 42-32.
A young, Lady Falcons (1-3) squad starting four sophomores, went on a 7-0 run after halftime to jump ahead 28-21, as they held the Warlassies scoreless for the first three and half minutes of the third quarter.
Senior Madison Vaughn led the Lady Falcons with 10 points, with Kendall Gilliam chipping in seven points.
West travels to Enka tonight, before opening their WNC Athletic Conference play at cross-county rival North Henderson on Friday night.

Jokers' Masquerade wig care tips:
- Wash in cool water.
- Never use regular shampoo on a synthetic wig.
- If the wig has picked up the odour of smoke or other strong odours, you may add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water and blend it in.
- Spread the wig out to dry over night.
- When the wig is entirely dry, and not before, re-style the wig gently.
- We recommend a wide tooth comb or your fingers to re-style and not a brush.
- Shaking and fluffing by hand is your best starting point for styling.
- The hair is made of synthetic material and as such is not suitable for straightening or curling with hot stylers.

For several years Nicholas Travis was embarrassed about his skin. The 15-year-old hated the severe acne he saw when he looked in a mirror. "It was like- really inflamed and painful, even to touch it."
The pimples on his face, chest and back changed his behavior.
"You feel like different- like in a bad way though."'
"Generally Nicholas has been a very outgoing kid. But when the acne really got severe, he would come from school sometimes and the kids were making fun of him. And he just felt very self-conscious," says father Steven Travis.
For the first time the American Academy of Pediatrics is backing new guidelines for the treatment of acne in children and teens.
"Acne and kids is really nothing new. But for the first time we have enough evidence to develop evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric acne, so that's pretty exciting," says Dr. Whitney Bowe.
The guidelines say most cases of mild acne should be treated with over the counter medications that include either Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. If that doesn't work, the next steps are using topical retinoids, then oral antibiotics and after that prescription drugs like claravis.
Nicholas used a trio of treatments to clear up his acne.
"It's so much better. Like socially, I can talk to people now.
"You just feel a lot better about yourself?"
"He had the confidence he once had. And it's because he's not self-conscious about his appearance anymore," says Steven.
That's why Nicholas's dad urges other parents to get their kids treated as well.
The report from the American Academy of Pediatrics says doctors are seeing more and more cases of younger children with acne possibly because kids are entering puberty earlier than in the past.

Europe faces an interesting set of immigration challenges and opportunities: Demographic pressures as many European societies age, a lively and at times tense policy and political debate over questions of identity and immigrant integration, and a unique policy environment that has knit 28 European countries together with regards to the management of outer borders, asylum, and other immigration-related topics. MPI has long conducted research and analysis of European policy on topics ranging from labor mobility and border security to immigrant integration, citizenship, and foreign qualifications recognition, which can be found below.
Although most Latin Americans head to North America, the increasing flow of people from Latin America to Southern Europe reflects colonial and historical patterns as well as new economic opportunities. Beatriz Padilla and João Peixoto examine various data that show the region's popularity.
Vlaams Belang, a far-right party known for its nationalism and anti-immigrant position, lost one seat in Belgium's parliament in the June 10 national elections. Laura Barker examines the party's use of the immigration issue and reactions to its politics.
Since 2000, Spanish authorities have used a technology-driven system for detecting and apprehending migrants attempting to reach Spanish territory by boat. Jørgen Carling of the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo explains how smugglers have responded and why illegal migration to Spain continues.
Macedonia avoided the interethnic conflict that ripped through the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. It was the only state to emerge with its independence (in 1991) and no loss of blood.
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who announced his resignation this week, leaves behind an immigration system that has been fundamentally reshaped. As MPI's Will Somerville explains, migration is now "managed" to favor migrants coming for work and study.
Noncoercive, pay-to-go, voluntary, assisted voluntary, and nonforced returns generally can offer paid travel and/or other financial incentive to encourage unauthorized immigrants to cooperate with immigration officials and leave host countries. A look at three key rationales for governments to choose pay-to-go and other returns.
Information and technology are centerpieces of a new border architecture that seeks to respond to the competing demands of facilitating mobility and managing cross-border risks while remaining cost-efficient and respectful of rights and privacy. This report shows how governments must approach border management systems to ensure properly balanced development.
This report details the post-9/11 programs and agreements implemented by U.S. and European governments to identify terrorists and serious transnational criminals through the collection and processing of increasing quantities of traveler data.
The global economic downturn and rising debt levels in all European countries have put immigration at the forefront of many debates surrounding public spending. This report presents a diversity of findings with regard to European governments' responses to immigrant integration organization, financing, and programs.
This policy brief examines the legalization debate on both sides of the Atlantic and discusses policy parameters that characterize legalization programs, such as qualifications, requirements, benefits, and program design and implementation.
Over the past year, MPI has partnered with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to examine how diasporas contribute to – or detract from - development efforts in their countries of origin. MPI and USAID have published an edited volume of the research. Please join us for the release of the book where speakers will discuss new thinking on the role of diaspora engagement in U.S. foreign and development policy.
This report provides an overview of diaspora advocacy by looking at five issues: who participates in diaspora advocacy, who or what are the "targets" in these efforts, what means are used to advance these causes, what are the issues on which they focus, and the effectiveness of the efforts.
This book takes stock of the impact of the crisis on immigrant integration in Europe and the United States. It assesses where immigrants have lost ground, using evidence such as levels of funding for educational programs, employment rates, trends toward protectionism, public opinion, and levels of discrimination.

Some news is good enough to spread, but other news is great enough to announce. That's why the new partnership between SkillsUSA and Lowe's was recently announced at the Home Builders Institute in Washington, D.C.
Region I Vice President Ashley Dixon accepted a $500,000 check from Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation on behalf of SkillsUSA. Some of the money will be divided into 20 $10,000 grants to help selected local chapters improve their SkillsUSA programs. To learn more about these and forthcoming grants and how to get them visit: www.skillsusa.org/educators/lowes.shtml (time sensitive material).
"It is occasions like this that remind me of what [my job] is all about," U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education Troy Justesen said at the event. "It is about you and every other student who represents the future of our great country."
Being a successful SkillsUSA competitor means keeping up with the latest technical standards. "Tell us something we don't know," you say? OK. We're about to raise the bar.
SkillsUSA's invaluable technical committee chairs (the industry experts who design the contests) recently met at our national headquarters to help take the standards to a higher level. Among the goals: a template that aligns specific academic skills with technical skills, and a standardized scoring formula. This work, funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, is a step toward industry credentials for entry-level employees. The new standards will go into effect in 2008. Stay tuned!
SkillsUSA's best and brightest will once again represent our nation as TeamUSA at the biennial WorldSkills Competition.
From Nov. 14-21 in Shizuoka, Japan, the 2007 event will feature more than 800 young people from nearly 50 member countries and regions. During the four days of competition, participants will test themselves against tough international standards in 40 skills and technologies. (And you thought the national competition was intimidating!)
SkillsUSA expects to send competitors in Autobody Repair, Ladies' Hairdressing, Welding, Mechatronics and other contest areas. The full team will be assembled by the end of June, so stay tuned to www.skillsusa.org and www.worldskills.com for more information as it develops.
It's an all-too-common occurrence: a high school senior moves on to college hoping to continue his or her SkillsUSA experience, only to find that the school doesn't have a chapter.
To help these students, SkillsUSA has created the College Start Up Kit, designed to walk students through the creation of a SkillsUSA chapter at their new college or postsecondary institution.
The kit contains a detailed guide, a membership DVD, roster information and more. It's also a great resource to give to existing staff at a college that might be interested in learning more about SkillsUSA.
To find out more or request a free kit, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
SkillsUSA and the National Technical Honor Society are offering two $1,000 scholarships. For details, visit: www.skillsusa.org/students/nths.shtml (time sensitive material).

When the Atlanta Braves' Chipper Jones had arthroscopic surgery on a torn meniscus in his left knee on March 27, he was optimistic that he'd be able to return for the team's home opener, which comes up this Friday, April 13.
It appears that Jones' prediction will come true, or possibly even sooner. David O'Brien:
Jones is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, when the Braves play the second game of a three-game series at Houston. The home opener is Friday against Milwaukee.
"Definitely the home opener, based on [Friday's] workout," Gonzalez said, "and maybe even sooner than that. We'll see what happens in the next couple of days with him."
O'Brien also reports that although Jones could be sent on a rehab assignment for a couple of games, the Braves would only do that if Jones felt he needed that; otherwise they could activate him and use him off the bench until he was ready to start.

Pin up glam!
SUMMERTIME IDYL July Playmate Carrie Enwright is an unspoiled, happy homebody While it may not necessarily be true, as the song says, that happiness lies under the skies back in one's own back yard, there are occasions when back-yard life definitely has its attractions. Take, for example, a lazy July day, replete with wind-rippled greenery, fat bumblebees and warm, dappled sunlight, the type of day during which one may relax and observe at leisure the growing wonders of nature -- such as Playmate Carrie Enwright, whom we here present at her simple but engaging back-yard pursuits. Like the best of mid-July days, Carrie seems to be destined expressly for the informal, easygoing pleasures of life, and is, as a consequence, a refreshingly unaffected companion. "I am," says she in thoughtful self-summation, "a very healthy, well-adjusted, fun-loving kind of girl." No close observer could quarrel with the buoyancy of her health: 5'5", 123 lbs., 39-24-36. Nor is there any disputing her natural enthusiasm for life, an upbeat attitude which can best be conveyed by quoting her own observations on the short, happy life of Carrie Enwright: "I am 19 years old and have lived in California all my life, the last 11 years in Hollywood, California, where I went through high school and where I have had at various times various not-so-odd jobs. For a while I was cashier at the Hollywood Paramount, which was my closest fling with the movie business. Then I worked as a salesgirl in a candy store. Trouble was, I have this terrible sweet tooth and pretty soon I was eating more candy than I sold. Right now I'm living with my mother and studying like mad to take my state boards in cosmetology. My most active hobby involves artwork, from making seed mosaics of Siamese cats to painting wild, wild oils. I get excited over my finished products -- but then, I'm not critically minded. I'm crazy about progressive jazz, lasagna, and playing practical jokes on people I like. For instance, I have been known to secretly put in cold mashed potatoes as the bottom scoop of someone's root-beer float, which is a terrible thing to do, but fun. I am not the type who always has a book going. I rarely read novels, but occasionally I get on a self-improvement kick, the most recent of which was plowing through Hayakawa's Language in Thought and Action. In movies, I'm a sucker for anything romantic or touching -- The Miracle Worker was just perfect for me. As for entertainers, I love Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, Jonathan Winters, Victor Borge, Joan Sutherland -- oh, so many more. I'm very congenial toward most performers, and I enjoy nearly all. That probably relates to my main shortcoming as a person -- too much of the time I use my heart and not my head. I'm really a very gullible girl. I wish on first stars and believe in miracles. When I go out with a boy, it really doesn't make any difference what we do -- for me it's a successful date if I get the feeling he appreciates being with me. If we like each other, I would just as soon run through the park in Levis as have a fancy dinner at Frascati's with the opera to follow. And I don't much care whether I eventually live in a mansion or in a tree house, so long as the man I'm married to is fun to be with. Of course it's a trite observation, but what I want most in life is happiness. What else is there?" Such an end in life can be persuasive -- especially when pursued with the magnificent means apparent in our gatefold, where lush Playmate Carrie is shown sensibly doffing her duds prior to a swinging session in her secluded back-yard hammock.
