When I saw Melvins in Detroit with Tomahawk in 2003, they KILLED. After a couple of inadvertent headbutts in the pit and losing the shirt I bought at the show, I decided I had to get every Melvins album!
So after reading a few of the reviews of this album I ordered it from Amazon. I love all the pre-major label Melvins albums, especially Lysol, and they've been one of the few bands to stay interesting and relevant throughout 20+ years.
This album is neither interesting or relevant. Noise for 80% of the duration before a guitar is picked up or a drum heard! I love noise records, but this one's just boring.
It's not all crap though. From the about 35 minute mark on things get mildly interesting, and then we have a nice version of Eye Flys to close the "set". I can take a joke, but somehow I can't help but feel that I'm the punchline.
One star because they're Melvins, and one star for Eye Flys. Melvins have so many albums and almost all of them are gold! Make this the last one you get.

"Born in a barn, were you?" my Grandma would call if you entered or left a room without shutting the door. Door shutting was as natural to Grandma as breathing. As was switching off lights, closing the curtains at dusk, only heating rooms as you used them and wearing slippers and a warm cardie. After struggling with fuel rationing in the war her generation didn't have to think about energy efficiency, it was hard wired habit.
Unfortunately, I can't say the same for myself!
I waft about the house in bare feet, leaving doors open and more lights on than Blackpool's illuminations. But since I started blogging, I have been totally inspired by all the "thrifty mum" (and mom!) bloggers out there. Family Budgeting, A Thrifty Mum, Diary of a Frugal Family, My Mummys Pennies and Frugal in Cornwall are big faves and I've just discovered Domesblissity As I've gone in the last year from full-time working mum to WAHM starting my own business, I really need to account for every penny, so in yet another New Year's resolution I've decided to channel Granny and do everything I can to save energy around the house.
|My Grandma never left a room
with a door open
But I've been rubbish about doing my bit so I've come up with an enormous list of things I can do that can make a difference. In the same spirit as my domestic dummy make over, I am going to try and work on one habit a week until it's hard wired in my brain and I do it on auto-pilot just like Grandma.
A list of 75 energy saving tips
Round the house
- Keep internal doors shut
- Close curtains at dusk
- Wear slippers
- Put an extra woolie on when you're cold
- Wear thermals
- Take hot water bottle to bed
- Have extra blankets on the bed for when first go to bed
- Wear a shawl, throw for when reading, watching TV
- Wear socks to bed
- Wear a dressing gown
- Get a night cap (hmmm ...)

- Soak heavily soiled items before washing
- Wash at 30 degrees whenever you can
- Take clothes out of drier before completely dry
- On sunny days get the curtains right open as soon as possible
- Don't dry clothes on the radiator or right in front of radiator

- Get an eco / low flow shower head - (not sure I'll ever manage this!)
- Get a shower timer and keep them to 5 minutes - can get free from some water authorities
- Don't bath the children every night - (makes so much sense on nursery nights!)
- Turn off the tap when cleaning teeth
- Towel dry your hair
- Turn off bathroom fan as soon as finished
- Turn down temperature of water heater
- Put a jacket on your hot water tank if you have one
- Get your boiler serviced regularly
- Switch lights off
- Switch things off standby
- Unplug unused appliances
- Use energy efficient light bulbs - (although I have to say I hate them!)
- Switch electricity and gas providers
- Unplug gadget chargers when not connected to device
Although some of these are initially very expernsive there are things you can do such as loft insulatiion and sealing gaps that are very cheap to do:
- Double glazing
- Insulate pipes
- If renovating get salvage floorboards and put on top of ground floor floorboards
- Seal chimney with chimney balloon or newspaper
- Insulate loft & make sure it's thick enough
- Insulation under wooden floors
- Seal gap between floor boards with insulation foam
- Seal skirting board gaps with insulation foam
- Install cavity wall insulation - (expensive!)
- Install solid wall insulation - (v, v expensive)

Thanks David!
I was ten minutes too late for the scan the other day so I had to sweat it for an evening, wondering what my prognosis would be.
I spent it trying to work out how to get my mess (aka affairs) in order and thinking existential thoughts (watching
this video
, even if I only understood a bit of it). Certainly better than fretting, though my sister's death earlier this year really brought home my mortality. It was a delicate balancing act getting myself into a headspace where I felt I could be accepting and calm in the face of the worst news, while avoiding fretting.
So I go for the test and took the scans to the doc. He thought it looked okay but called the specialist at the scan centre on speakerphone for confirmation ... then I heard the specialist say the magic words "Definitely no cancer" and I went "YESS!!" with a double fist pump. The doc was amused.
I always imagined that it would take a scare to get me to stop smoking (everything) and I hoped it was of the kind that would give me a second chance.
The emphysema is a bit scary but I'd much rather a problem that required caution (have to watch out for traffic fume and particulates in the air at home) and exercise to chemo and the horrible cancer treadmill that turns people's lives upsidedown.
Also have a severely infected rib injury from the coughing that hurts like hell (can't play, or even set up the kit at the moment) - just waiting for the megadose of antibiotics to do its job and for the rib injury to heal. Keen to clear the rest of the carpet out of the house because the mould in it was a big part of the problem.
It's sooo great being in my 50s (not). They say that the 40 is the old age of youth and the 50s in the youth of old age. Seems about right so far ...

Salmonella in Recalled Peanut Butter From Ohio's King Nut
Ohio distributor recalls two brands of peanut butter
An Ohio distributor, King Nut Companies, has recalled two brands of its peanut butter after an open container tested positive for salmonella bacteria.
According to the article in the Philadelphia Inquirer, federal health officials said the company's peanut butter had not been conclusively linked to a national salmonella outbreak. The peanut butter recall involves approximately 1,000 cases of peanut butter.
King Nut asked customers (food service providers in Ohio, Michigan, North Dakota, Minnesota, Arizona, Idaho, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Florida) to stop distributing all peanut butter under its King Nut and Parnell's Pride brands with a lot code that begins with the numeral "8."
The Minnesota Department of Health found salmonella bacteria in a 5-pound container of King Nut brand creamy peanut butter.
The Minnesota tests had not linked it to the type of salmonella in the outbreak that has sickened almost 400 people in 42 states, but additional results are expected early next week.
The FDA is also analyzing samples of peanut butter from King Nut and Peanut Corporation.
Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), the manufacturer of King Nut's two peanut butter brands, is working with federal food and health officials to determine whether its products are connected to the national outbreak. PCA does not sell its products at grocery stores or directly to the public.
The tainted container was found in the kitchen of a nursing facility, leaving it open to the possibility of cross-contamination from another source. They did not say where the nursing facility was located or when the contaminated product was discovered.
The CDC confirmed 399 cases so far nationally, with about one in five of victims hospitalized. They have not confirmed any deaths associated with the outbreak.
Salmonella poisoning can be a deadly food-borne illness. It could take months or even years for the infection to completely go away.

text: Looks like we've just added a new DE in George Selvie. I wouldn't expect much as he was a 7th round pick in the 2010 draft by the Rams. He went to South Florida, started no games with the rams and record 1.5 sacks as he just served as a backup. He played in all 16 though. He must have been released when the Panthers added him. Played in only 4 games starting none for Carolina so far this year, including one against us. I can't expect much from this kid but who knows, maybe this signing is because Kampman coming back is extremely unlikely ?

What I Learned In Teaching Computer Security, Privacy, and Politics to a General Audience
by Ming Chow
Related link: http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~mchow/excollege
Hard to believe, I am almost finished with teaching a full college course (one semester) --my course at Tufts University entitled "Security, Privacy, and Politics in the Computer Age," offered by the Experimental College. It has certainly been an exhilerating few months, but it has been a very rewarding, memorable, and flattering experience.
So what did I learn from teaching computer security, politics, and privacy to a group of twenty, mainly non-technical, college students? Here are some of my thoughts in a nutshell:
- It is difficult to balance technical and non-technical information. Many students know what spyware and computer viruses are, but the technical workings of them are complicated. If you delve into complexities such as the operating system or the kernel, the students will be lost. I also recall making my cryptography lecture too simplistic, and I saw many students fall asleep.
- Students are dependent on reactive tools including firewalls and anti-virus software. Such tools have been well-marketed, but they can only do so much. That is, the "bigger point" is missed --numerous security holes in software are unpublicized, which leads to one massive hole. The message that I sent to the class was clear: the first line of defense is to protect yourself and your systems (be proactive as possible). Funny, I still receive assignments that mention relying on firewalls and anti-virus software to protect their systems.
- Few have knowledge about open source software, and alternatives to popular software packages. It is important to discuss the software life-cycle development process early in the semester because it will provide students insights on where a lot of the problems come from. One of the first comments from students that stuck me was that many have never heard of open source software, nor have they heard of alternatives to popular software packages such as GIMP, GAIM, and yes, even Firefox. As much as the technical community read and speak about OSS, the general public still don't understand it.
- Few have used Unix or Linux. Unix and Linux are sometimes dubbed as the "the most important operating systems you may never use," and I found this quite true. That is why I distributed free copies of Knoppix to students, and used it for my lectures on occasion.
- News and information evolve and change frequently. Several weeks after I gave a demonstration on password cracking, the news of Paris Hilton's sidekick cracked via simple password broke out. We had to reflect back on our previous lecture. Same issue with the recent slew of consumer database breaches. The instructor (myself) have to keep up with current events especially when teaching such a course.
- Students enjoy examples. Students love screenshots and hands-on examples from the terminal.
- Instructor has to encourage feedback and dialog. Maybe it is because of the college environment, most of us have been there, done that. I found that students walk into class with very little expectation or motivation each day. They just want to go to class and leave, and probably forget the information. It is the instructor's job to incorporate debate and dialog in the course. You just can't hope that all students will be active. I had two debates and two expert panel sessions in the class, and they have been most engaging (as said by the students). Same goes for the discussions on copyrights, electronic voting, and P2P technologies --no surprise considering the topics are controversial and debateable.
- Need a hands-on assignment to show how hard security is. Security is hard, we know that. But talk can only do so much. Recently, I gave a two-part group project on designing a fictitious state lottery game and its secure system. Not only did the students find that designing a system is difficult and time-consuming, but also how hard it is the accomodate for everything there is. I had to use so much red ink on grading the design projects, both phases (the game design and the system design)
These are just some highlights of what I learned in my very first teaching experience. After I submit the course grades, I will sit down and collect all my thoughts about the course. Would I want to do this again? Absolutely, in a heartbeat.

The "Chemical-Free Lawn" Project – Environment Canada
Be a good neighbor! Don't poison the soil, the water or the people in your neighborhood with chemicals.
Weed & Feed and other chemical fertilizers and pesticides are not necessary and there are natural lawn care steps you can take to reduce your weeds and pest problems!
1. TOLERATE SOME WEEDS and allow beneficial plants to exist such as clover in your lawn for its nitrogen-fixing magic.
2. HAND DIGGING WEEDS is the best method of weed control. More than 80% of all weeds are annuals. Hand remove annual weeds before they seed, and remember to remove the roots of perennials. But don't give up! An old knife or fork will do or dandelion weeders are inexpensive.
3. RESEED BARE SPOTS before weeds fill them in. Most important is to plant a mixture rather than a single variety (e.g. 60% fescue mix, 10% Perennial Ryegrass, 30% Kentucky Bluegrass + 2-3% Dutch White Clover). Diseases can be quite selective. A mixture of grasses will prevent complete destruction of your lawn.
4. TEST YOUR SOIL. Purchase a soil test kit. Such a test will give your soil's pH, organic matter content and nutrients needed to balance it. Organic matter increases nutrient-holding capacity and improves aeration and water retention. Don't underestimate the importance of knowing your soil's condition!
5. REMOVE THATCH, the matted layer of clippings and debris on top of the soil, if it is more than 1/2″ thick. Thatch chokes out grass plants, prevents air, water and nutrients from reaching the soil, and promotes almost every possible lawn problem. Aeration and a brisk raking should remove much of the thatch.
6. AERATE THE LAWN to break through the deep thatch and reduce compaction of soil. This encourages deeper rooting and allows water, nutrients and organic matter to feed the soil. Earthworms are terrific aerators. Lots of worm holes in the lawn mean the job is being done for you.
7. FERTILIZE NATURALLY. If your soil test results show the need, add organic fertilizers. Natural fertilizers are more desirable because of their long-term benefits…and are needed less frequently. They improve the soil's ability to retain and release nutrients and they are alive with beneficial micro-organisms which speed up decomposition of clippings and thatch. And if soil test says the pH is low, add a natural source of ground limestone when you fertilize (as long as you aren't seeding at the same time).
8. MOW AT THE PROPER HEIGHT. Keep grass 2 1/2 to 3″ high. Never cut off more than 1/3 of the height at a time or your grass will go into shock! Keep the mower blades sharp so you don't damage the grass. Taller grass will crowd out weeds, grow longer roots and shade the soil.
9. LEAVE GRASS CLIPPINGS. Less raking! Once the grass is no longer coated in chemicals, the clippings are a free and natural fertilizer for your lawn, as long as they aren't too long or lying in huge clumps. Grass clippings begin to decompose almost immediately. They provide a 4-1-3 fertilizer, which is about as perfect a combination as a lawn needs.
10. WATER MORE DEEPLY & LESS FREQUENTLY. Water only when soil has dried out well into the root zone. LONGER GRASS = DEEPER ROOTS = LESS WATERING! Northern lawns may need watering only in dry summers. Frequent light watering encourages shallow rooting and leaves the grass vulnerable to insects and disease. When run-off occurs, the soil has absorbed as much water as possible. But, water that is not absorbed quickly may also be a sign that the soil needs aeration. Water slowly for better absorption.
11. CONTROL PESTS NATURALLY. Chemical pesticides are indiscriminate, killing beneficial insects and earthworms and deterring birds. Practicing natural lawn care will create a healthy lawn which is unattractive to pests. Get rid of thatch to get rid of pests. Just don't use pesticides! (This is inconsistent with #9 – I think it best to come clean and say tolerate a higher level of pest damage).
12. ENCOURAGE earthworms and micro-organisms through these organic gardening steps. Welcome birds and beneficial insects (e.g. ladybugs, spiders, dragonflies). Above and below the soil, these are the keys to unlocking your soil's potential.

Blackmon was selected to the 2008 Junior College / Community College (JC/CC) State Farm Coaches' All-American Team by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and was also named as a JUCO All-American. The Clovis, New Mexico native started in all 30 games last season for the Lady Texans and averaged a team-high 16.7 points per game with a 61.2% field goal percentage (211/345). She also averaged 6.4 rebounds per game with 192 total rebounds on the season (78 offensive). Blackmon was second on the squad in assists (71) and led the team in blocked shots (27) and steals (68) on her way to claiming Western Junior College Athletic Conference Most Valuable Player honors and NJCAA All-Region V team accolades. The 5'10" inside player averaged 11.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game as a freshman in 06/07 with the Lady Texans and was an Honorable Mention All-Conference member. A product of Clovis High School, Blackmon played under former LCU coach Miles Watters. She led Clovis to a 2005 New Mexico State Championship and averaged 19.2 points and 9.5 rebounds per game as a senior. Blackmon holds the Clovis school record in scoring and field goals, and she received many honors at Clovis, including the 4-5A Player of the Year honor in 2005 and a Gatorade Player of the Week award.
Blau comes to LCU after leading Follett to a Class A State Championship this past season. She was the State Tournament's Most Valuable Player after scoring 27 points in the title clinching victory over Kennard. The 5'7" point guard averaged 18 points and four rebounds per game last season for the 31-2 Panthers. She also provided 111 steals on her way to claiming her second Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) All-State and first Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA) All-State awards. Blau was a three-time district most valuable player recipient, and also earned honors as a four-time all-district and three-time First Team All-Region member. The Amarillo Globe News named Blau the 1A Player of the Year this past season. Blau also excelled in other sports at Follett. She was a four-year letterwinner in cross country and a three-year letterwinner in softball and track & field. She was selected as a First Team All-District member in softball this past season as a shortstop, and she was a four-year Regional Qualifier in cross country and qualified her senior year in track & field. In the classroom, Blau was a member of the National Honor Society and finished third in her graduating class.
Ehlers is a 5'9" product out of Lubbock Cooper who was part of a 24-4 team that advanced all the way to the Regional Finals. The four-year letterwinner was named to the TGCA and TABC All-State teams and was honored as an All-Star by both organizations. She was selected as the 4-3A District Co-MVP, and also received All-Tournament last season in the Caprock Tournament and Regional Tournament. This past season, Ehlers averaged 15.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.4 steals per game. The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal selected her as the girls All-City Player of the Year. Along with basketball, Ehlers has lettered three seasons in volleyball and four in softball. The Lubbock AJ also named her to the 2008 All-City Second Team as a shortstop in softball. She also excelled in the classroom. Ehlers was a member of the National Honor Society, Student Council, and served as a Class Officer over the last four years. She is a two-time "Class Favorite" selection and was in the top ten percentile academically at Cooper.
Hampton comes to the Lady Chaps after winning a Class 3A State Championship with the 32-3 Canyon High School Lady Eagles under Joe Lombard. The District 5-3A Most Valuable Player and State Tournament All-Tourney Team member averaged 12.8 points per game and posted a 47.8% field goal percentage, a 42.5% three-point shooting percentage and an 87.8% free throw percentage as a senior. The Amarillo Globe News selected the 5'7" guard as their Super Team Girls Player of the Year. The Globe News also selected her as their Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore in 2005/2006. Hampton went on to earn three consecutive All-District honors and claim All-Region honors as a junior and senior. The TABC and TGCA named Hampton to their All-State squads her senior season. Hampton served on several leadership programs in high school and was also a member of the National Honor Society.
Layton is an incoming freshman from Seminole High School, where she played under Dickie Faught. With the Maidens, the district 4-3A Defensive Player of the Year averaged 14.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. The 6'2" inside player shot 51.6 percent from the field and was an All-South Plains Basketball Class 3A First Team selection by the Lubbock AJ. She was also named All-Region by the TABC and All-State by the TGCA this past season. Off the hardwood, Layton not only lettered three seasons in golf and a year in track & field and volleyball, but also served as a student council officer and was a National Honor Society member.
Completing the list of incoming freshman is Singleton, who is a product of Hemphill High School in East Texas. The TABC named the 6'0" inside player the Class 2A Player of the Year. She averaged 23 points per game for the regional quarterfinalists under coach Rosie Miller-Mays. Singleton was also a three-time First Team All-District selection and was a two-time All-District Most Valuable Player honoree. The TGCA named her to the 07/08 Basketball Academic All-State Team in Class 2A. She also served on the Lady Hornets cross country, track & field and volleyball teams. Singleton had originally committed to Angelina College (Lufkin) before having a change of heart.
The new additions will join an existing team comprised of seniors Jordan Hampton, Sierra Wilcox-Lovorn and Dina Shinault, juniors Ashley Coggins and Brandi Raindl and sophomores Severyn Smith, Bailey St. Clair and Renee Wilson.

Perhaps it's a false contradiction. But today there are many who stress the pacifist message with which South Africa's Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) emerged from prison in 1990, while few put an emphasis on his rebellion against apartheid, including armed rebellion, which landed him in prison. Mandela was a political activist and a revolutionary at least since 1942.

In preparation for the July 8 peaceful protest action (hunger strike, work stoppage etc.), Corcoran SHU administrators are directing staff to dispense with California law and state procedures and policy regarding mass hunger strikes and instead institute a policy designed to raise the potential for maximum casualties (deaths) amongst prisoner participants.

A federal three-judge panel ruled today, Feb. 9, that overcrowding in California prisons is indeed the root cause of health care inadequacy so severe that it amounts to unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment.

Magnum iAD
collaboration with Lowe Brindfors, Unilever, Magnum, Apple
A banner campaign made in for the iAD format. Platform, iPhone and iPod touch.
First released in UK then for four other markets, Italy, Spain, Germany and France.
The idea is based on the eightball, but instead for a random answer you\'ll get a random pleasure.
The pleasure is linear with the campaign theme used for Magnum ice cream. The shake function is a feature in the iAD platform.
The originality with this iAD compared to others is that the user journey is linear. You just shake to move further on, no menu. Simplicity.
My role in the project was as a Digital Production Manager, working close with booth client and the production company.

Which of the two players of James Harrison or Karlos Dansby would you guys want? Vote for who you want and then give reasons for why/why not below. I have summarized so far some of the reasons that seem prevalent on the web that are pros/cons for both.
James Harrison is older (35 vs 31)
Harrison played his entire time in a 3-4
Dansby has played both 3-4 and 4-3 (last year he played in our old DB coach's 4-3 and did well)
Dansby is multiple (WLB, MLB, or SLB)
Harrison has more attitude/sparks the defense
Harrison is a bigger effect on the locker room
Harrison is more known for his sacks and would be used as a SLB
The Bengals only use the SLB on a 1/3 of their snaps
Dansby will most likely be more expensive and will want more years tying up our salary cap
Anyways, please give your vote and why.

Rated 5 out of 5 by groomemom from Lovely rug I have this rug in my kids playroom and it is so adorable! I love all of the colors. They really liven up the space and give my kids a soft, happy place to sit and play with their cars, trucks and board games. As always, LOVE this Lanf of Nod product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by nlm2013 from Goes well with everything I had second thoughts about this purchase thinking it would be too 'busy' and might clash with the other colors in my son's room. But it goes perfectly with his other bright red and navy items. And we'll be able to swap out the red and navy for virtually any color later! The 'blue' of the rug is very muted (more gray than the photos), but I actually like that better. It's also very, very comfortable to walk and play on. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by tsuni7 from Durable and Adorable Design I have had 2 of these rugs for over 8 years now and they have held up SO well to stains. And the design is absolutely adorable for kids rooms with the modern circles and grey base - it pretty much goes with any bedding and wall color. You can not go wrong with this rug.

Rated 5 out of 5 by katie J from Love it. I love this rug. It's awesome. I love the colors, which are true to the website. With the rug pad under its just cushiony enough for sitting on or laying around, but still firm enough for playing with toys on it. The only thing about it and it's of no fault of the rug's is, that it is a looped rug and pets and toys can easily snag a loop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa23 from 4x6 blue Great rug.. It's a little thicker so nicely cushions floor below our son's new 'big boy' bed. Also, loops are a little larger so looks like nice quality. Plus our son loves to mention the colors of the circles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joobie from Great pattern, great product! I bought this rug for my baby boy's nursery, and it looks awesome. The quality is good, and I love the variety of colors -- they'd match up with all kinds of room styles. I was worried it might be a distracting, loud pattern, but it nicely fits in with the rest of the room, and I think the style will grow over time as he grows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MomReviewer from A rug for the ages We bought this rug for my son when he was a baby and it has grown perfectly with him and his room. It is soft for crawling (at any age!) but firm enough to hold Lego creations. And the great colors make it easy to match and change the rest of the decor in the room. We love it and so does he!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Babs82 from Fun rug, but not as colorful years later We purchased this as a "play area" rug for our two year old (now turned four). It's fun for her, but still works well with our adult living room decor. It has withstood the time well with only a couple snags from a housecleaner's vacuum. The colors now come across as dull even after a proper cleaning. It has not had food spills, but holds up well to legos, trucks and having furniture dragged across it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KrestB from good quality, color a bit dull This rug is in my son's room, and it is really nice. The quality is good. it is soft, yet sturdy.My only gripe is that the blue color was a lot less vibrant than I was expecting.

On Friday April 17, Clark College will host
the fourth annual Sakura Festival,
celebrating an international friendship
VANCOUVER, Wash. — To celebrate international friendship and the breathtaking cherry blossoms that arrive at Clark College each spring, the college will host its fourth annual Sakura Festival on Friday, April 17 from 2 to 5 p.m.
Modeled after the Japanese tradition of picnicking and celebrating the arrival of spring beneath the blossoming cherry trees, the Sakura Festival recognizes the international friendship between the City of Vancouver and its sister city, Joyo, Japan.
The festival, which is free and open to the public, will feature guest speakers, entertainment, displays and demonstrations at various locations on Clark College's main campus. Clark College is located at 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver. Driving directions and maps are available at www.clark.edu/maps.
At 2:00 p.m. participants will gather in the Penguin Student Lounge (Room 161 of the Penguin Union Building) for introductions and entertainment. Weather permitting, the group will then assemble under the historic cherry trees near the O'Connell Sports Center. After a brief formal ceremony, participants will be treated to Japanese snacks and tea.
Throughout the afternoon, guests can enjoy displays and demonstrations by students and community groups in the Gaiser Student Center.
On Earth Day 1990, a gift of 100 Shirofugen cherry trees from John Kageyama, President of America Kotobuki, was presented to the City of Vancouver to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Washington's statehood. The trees were planted on Clark College's main campus in Vancouver's Central Park.
Clark College President Robert K. Knight said, "The Sakura Festival has become a great tradition for Clark College and the City of Vancouver, and it's especially meaningful this year as we celebrate the college's 75th anniversary. We're proud to care for these beautiful trees and to host this event in partnership with our friends at the Vancouver Rotary as we celebrate spring and pay tribute to our sister-city relationship with Joyo, Japan."
Sakura festival sponsors include Vancouver Rotary and the City of Vancouver, as well as Clark College's Office of International Programs, the 75th Anniversary Committee, ENL and Japanese Instruction, and the Office of Student Life and Multicultural Affairs.
Embracing the future: plans for a Japanese garden at Clark College
This year's Sakura Festival takes place as plans for a Japanese garden at Clark College move forward. During the 2009 State of the City address, Vancouver Mayor Royce Pollard announced that Chihiro Kanagawa, President & CEO of Shin-Etsu Chemical Company, the parent company of SEH, plans to donate "up to $1 million to pay for the design and construction of the Japanese Garden at Clark College."
Since seeking feedback from the college community last fall, the college has continued to work with the City of Vancouver on the project. It now seems likely that construction would begin in late June 2010 with completion scheduled for late fall of 2010.
That would enable the college to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony in April 2011 to coincide with the blooming of the cherry trees and the sixth annual Sakura Festival.
Our Community Supporters
The 2009 Sakura Festival is a highight of Clark College's 75th anniversary celebration.

DC Mayor Gray Presents $300 Million Gift to Local Unions
Lee Schalk
September 20, 2013
Last week, following in the footsteps of his predecessors, Washington, DC Mayor Vincent Gray announced the signing of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for the construction of the $300 million DC United soccer stadium. His reasoning? The PLA ensures that District construction workers are paid federal Davis-Bacon wage rates.
However, according to TheTruthAboutPLAs.com:
…existing law called the Davis-Bacon Act governing federal, federally funded and DC-funded projects already requires above-market government-determined union scale wages and benefits to be paid to craft labor with or without a PLA. It's a smokescreen to cover the fact it is a gift to unions [emphasis added].
The White House explains that a PLA is "a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations that establishes the terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project."
But let's get real. A PLA is nothing more than a corrupt scheme that removes competition from the construction bidding process and instead awards a contract to unionized construction workers.
Unfortunately, we've seen this game played in DC before with Nationals Ballpark. The end result? Eighty-five percent of construction workers and 95 percent of minority-owned contractors were left out of the work, and the project cost tens of millions of taxpayer dollars more than anticipated. Makes one wonder just how much the city actually cares about its workers.
From our support of Right-to-Work laws and public pension reform, it's no secret that National Taxpayers Union is an outspoken proponent of fair labor laws that benefit workers, not just union bosses. Despite what may appear to be a well-intentioned effort to protect workers, Mayor Gray's PLA for the DC United Stadium is nothing more than a kickback scheme to his union pals. The deal represents another example of just how dangerous backroom government dealings with unions can be – not only to taxpayers but to non-unionized construction workers struggling to find work in the Obama economy.

Our Mission: To provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to-1 relationships and programs that change their lives for the better, forever.
Purpose: To provide every child in Vermilion County who needs and wants a mentor with a mentor.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Vermilion County links positive mentors (Bigs) with children (Littles) ages 6 through 13, in Vermilion County. In 1971 a group of concerned citizens were worried that children from single parent homes did not have the guidance they needed. They determined the best way to provide this guidance was through 1-to-1 mentoring. After contacting Big Brothers Big Sisters of America these caring adults developed Big Brothers Big Sisters of Vermilion County.
Nationally, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is the oldest, largest and most effective youth mentoring organization in the United States. The organization continues as the leader in 1-to-1 youth mentoring for more than a century, developing positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people.
Landmark Study Finds Lasting Effects
This research shows the lessons children in the program learn and the opportunities that are given to them as a result of having a positive "Big" influence in their life lasts forever.
Among the studies findings:
Children who had a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters are:
"I think he was truly amazed that WE could make something and not go to the store and buy one that is already put together." - Patrick J. O'Shaughnessy

"At that meeting it was finally put to me how great the need is in our community for mentors, especially men". - Kevin Stroud

Item: Compiling and Studying Professional Avalanche Worker Incident Data to Improve Worker Safety
Title: Compiling and Studying Professional Avalanche Worker Incident Data to Improve Worker Safety
Proceedings: 2010 International Snow Science Workshop
- Ron Simenhois [ Coeur Alaska, Juneau, AK 99803, United States of America ]
- Scotty Savage [ Friends of the Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center, Bozeman, MT 59771, United States of America ]
Date: 2010
Abstract: Avalanche professionals work in a hazardous alpine environment, often under physical and emotional stress. Working in an uncertain, stressful, and risky environment takes its toll on the avalanche community. A growing number of studies suggest that decision-making errors are significant contributors to avalanche accidents. Although decision-making processes leading to avalanche incidents in professional settings are seldomly studied, we believe they play a significant role in avalanche incidents involving professionals. Therefore, attempts to reduce professional avalanche accidents should include improving decision-making. In this paper, we present a road map to improve workplace safety in the avalanche field. Our intention is to create a confidential online database where avalanche professionals can report avalanche related incidents and near misses. The data will be used to better understand the decision-making processes and snowpack, weather, and avalanche conditions associated with professional workplace incidents or near misses. In addition, this database will allow us to develop a decision-making focused training program, gain field experience without hazardous exposure, and improve awareness by sharing case studies across the industry.

Banner Year Continues for ATR
Avions de Transport Regional landed firm orders for 20 new airplanes from four customers at last month's Paris Air Show. Finnish regional airline Finncomm signed for eight 48-seat ATR 42-500s, Corsica's CCM for six ATR 72-500s, New Caledonia's Air Caledonie for a still undefined mix of three ATR 42-500s and ATR 72-500s, and Air Madagascar for two ATR 72-500s and a single ATR 42-500.
Over the next two years Finncomm plans to replace a fleet of Saab 340s and 2000s it now flies under the certificate of Sweden's Golden Air with the eight new ATRs, the first of which it expects to arrive late this year. CCM's schedule also calls for first delivery late this year, followed by the last five through mid-2007. Air Caledonie plans to replace its three ATR-300s with the new -500s, which will include at least one 68-seat ATR 72, starting next year. Air Madagascar too will replace a trio of older ATR 42s with -500s from late this year through the middle of next year.
Valued at close to $300 million, the contracts raise this year's order count for ATR to 50 airplanes and increase the company's backlog to more than 70. In February ATR sold 30 ATR 72s to India's Air Deccan, one of which sat on static display in Paris.

Japan adds nearly 4 GW of PV capacity16. January 2014 | Markets & Trends, Global PV markets, Industry & Suppliers | By: Edgar Meza
The country's cumulative installed solar capacity reached nearly 11.3 GW by October 31.
Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has reported the installation of 3,993 MW of PV capacity in the country between April 1 and October 31, 2013.
METI's Agency for Natural Resources and Energy (ANRE) compiled the data covering the status of new facilities generating renewable energy in the time period.
"Photovoltaic power facilities steadily continue to be introduced, and the total combined capacity of such facilities as of October 31, 2013, reached 5,852,000 kW after the feed-in tariff scheme was introduced," METI said on its website.
As of Oct. 31, 2013, Japan's cumulative installed PV capacity had reached 11.226 GW.
Of the 3.99 GW of new PV capacity, residential accounted for 870 MW, while non-residential systems made up the rest, 3,123 MW.
From July 1, 2012, to March 31, 2013, Japan's total PV capacity reached 1,673 MW, with residential making up 969 MW and non-residential 704 MW.
Prior to the introduction of Japan's feed-in tariff program, which went into effect July 1, 2012, combined total solar capacity in the country was at about 5.6 GW.
Japan became the first country in the world to surpass the 1 GW of cumulative PV capacity back in 2004.
METI launched a subsidy program for residential PV systems in 1994, according to data from NPD Solarbuzz. Initially, the subsidy covered 50% of the cost of PV systems. As a result, until 2005, Japan had the largest installed PV capacity of any country in the world.
Solar PV deployment in Japan slowed in the mid-2000s, due in part to the country's ten-year energy plan that was approved in March 2002 and called for an expansion of nuclear generation by approximately 30% by 2011. The plan included the construction of between nine and 12 new nuclear power plants, equivalent to 17.5 GW of new nuclear generating capacity.
Following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, however, Japan began to shut down its nuclear reactors and promote the wider use of solar power.

Why does it take 3 months to release a simple total? Japan's scheme is an FIT, so all the installations are registered and connected by the same administrative process. The Ministry should be able to release monthly totals with a delay of a few weeks.

My Maker Space group does a lot of robot building and we like, when we can, to 3D print things like motor mounts and brackets.
We are concerned that one potential motor mount will not be strong enough and would like to 3D mold the mount "around" portions of the motor to add more suppport.
We love in 2D where you can easily (and thank you very much by the way) project geometry onto the new part you're creating. Is there a way to do the same thing in 3D, so that we don't have to spend a lot of time adding and extruding small areas to meet the motor?
Sort of like if we could invert the motor, take elements of that surface and 3D print them.
Sounds like you want to Thicken/Offset as a surface body and the Thicken as a new solid body.
Attach your file here if you can't figure it out.
Dear Dr. Mather,
Thanks for the response! We're snowed into day will school, and therefore FRC robotics cancelled.
I'll try your suggestion. I've successfully used off-set in 2D drawings, didn't know it worked in 3D.
Depending on what you are doing - Move Face might be another option.

Hmmm ... it's been a while since I read Revelations, but isn't JD Mather suggesting the use of Move Face sandwiched in there with the signs of the apocalypse somewhere between the rains of fire and the seas of blood?
I should have emphasized might.
Move Face is (almost) always not the best solution.
Frankly, I did feel the earth shake a bit when I typed that out yesterday.

Is coffee affecting your relationship?! More than half of people say they would rather drink coffee than have sex, according to a global study by Le Meridien Hotels & Resorts!
According to respondents, 53% would prefer coffee as the perfect wake up call rather than sex and 78% would rather give up alcohol, social media or sex rather than not have coffee for a year. This study was done in the US, India, China, UAE and other countries with key coffee drinking markets.
Preston And Steve weigh in from WMMR. They also agree with the study. They would not give up their coffee. Their best reason is that they can go longer stretches without sex than without coffee. Coffee is definitely a bigger need, according to Preston and Steve.

Police say a cleaning woman inside a dental office got a scary surprise late Thursday night when a man came in with a gun.
According to officers, a woman was cleaning the inside of a dental office near Ray Road and Loop 101 around 11 p.m. when she heard a loud bang.
Police say the sound was made by an armed man allegedly forcing his way into the building.
The woman was able to get out and call the police.
The SWAT team entered the dental office and determined the suspect was gone.
Police say the suspect was likely there to burglarize the building.
No one was injured and it appears nothing was stolen.
The suspect is simply described as a man dressed in black.
Officers blocked of the strip mall and closed the Ray Road highway exit while they investigated.

text: It is time for you to make that BOLD MOVE you were talking about a few months. You MUST trade a young player like Yakapov for a good solid young tender, maybe the Blues Jake Allen as he could grow with this group and it is my opinion that he is NHL ready and would already be playing if not for the goalie contracts in front of him, ANA might trade Fasth, try getting Khubodin from CAR, or maybe Holtby could be had from WAS,or, you could go after Mason & a d-man from PHI... You MUST also go out and get a SHUT DOWN d-man, and that will be very hard to do, although it is done more often than one thinks, and if you cannot get a shutdown guy, how about getting a gritty #1 or #2 guy who can play with Schultz and teach him how to play the game...& if you cant swing a deal anytime soon, bring some of the guys up from OKC and see if they can do any better, they cannot be worse now can they? You MUST ALSO get a big tuff top 6, and I believe that Lucic could be had or even go after Stewart from STL (but ask Perron about him first), and since STL is loaded @ D, you might be able to get a D in a package deal too... Enough is enough, and we as Oilers fans, both paying and tv watching are sick and tired of this team as they display 0 heart game in and game out. We all spend our HARD EARNED $ at games, at bars, on merchandise, ect...and we all work like dogs for it, maybe these spoiled kids should get out and work a week or two outside like most of us do and they'll realize how good they have it and maybe start showing some heart, as from "the Replacements", all you need is heart, just heart!!!!


text: The Steelers have tendered potential free agent Mike Wallace with a 1st round tender this season. While this may be considered an afterthought especially on a Raiders team with a defensive-minded HC, it may be the biggest get we've had since signing Derrick Burgess a few years back. I am not privy on all the rules. I'm not sure if its possible to trade a future 1st rounder or it must be a current 1st rounder anyway. What if the Steelers are willing though? This could potentially be the difference between this team being on the outside looking in again or possibly winning the AFC West. The Steelers of course have the potential to veto any trade offer but consider Antonio Brown is in the last year of his contract and he was considered the team's offensive MVP last season. The Steelers had the opportunity to franchise tag Wallace and did not. I don't think they are as willing to part with Brown as they are Wallace who only takes a 1st rounder to be had. Also the Raiders don't have a problem with trading away 1st rounders for proven talent. This of course is just a potential trade possibility and I would assume the team has already addressed OT and all other defensive holes with lower end free agent signings before even thinking of this. Although, imagine what the WR depth chart would look like. 1. Mike Wallace, 2. DHB\ Dennarius Moore, 3. DHB\Dennarius Moore, 4. Jacoby Ford, 5. Louis Murphy. The team would make what is already a strength into one of the best WR cores in the league. This would be made possible since Carson Palmer has already proven in a limited amount of reps he is still capable of putting up outstanding passing numbers and has never really depended on the TE in the past. The team would be allowed to start the game in 3 wide sets and spread out the defense which would cause miss-matches across the field. Moving any combination of Wallace, DHB or Moore around and having anyone of these in the slot would make Al Saunders and Greg Knapp drool at what this offense is capable of. McFadden and Reese are already as sure-handed a backfield as any in the league and this would remind many of the Gannon to Rice, Brown, Porter and Garner offenses of ten years ago. Also, impacting the team on a smaller scale it would allow Jacoby Ford to focus more on his largest contribution to the team in the return game while limiting his chances of injury. Again this is not something that many will agree with but consider the Packers and Patriots had two of the worst pass defenses in football last year and were a combined 28-4 and both had home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The team will have only made one significant free agent pickup while strengthening what was already a solid offense and will have the frame work to build on for seasons to come.

BA has come out with their annual manager surveys listing the best tools in each of the leagues in the minors.
Reds prospects represented:
Juan Francisco, best power in the Midwest League
Drew Stubbs, best defensive outfielder in the Midwest League
Jay Bruce, best batting prospect and best power in the Florida State League
Josh Roenicke, best reliever in the Florida State League
Michael Griffin, best defensive 3B in the Florida State League
Joey Votto, best batting prospect and best strikezone judgment in the International League
This was done via survey of minor league managers fairly early in the year. Interesting (and a touch disappointing) that neither Bailey nor Cueto is represented at all, but nice to see some hitting prospects up there as well as a good reliever prospect in Roenicke.

Is showing qualifications boasting?
A dilemma for people with qualifications is whether to flaunt them or not. Should you put them on your business card? Should you put certificates on your office wall? How about in your email signature?
At least for therapists there is an answer here. Ann Devlin and colleagues showed students a photo of a therapist's office, which either had bare walls or certificates on the wall. The students rated the therapist with the certificates on show as more skilful, experienced, better-trained, and more authoritative, and also as more friendly, kinder, welcoming, congenial and interested in clients. More certificates seems better, as therapists with four or nine certificates were rated as more proficient than those with just two, and those with nine were thought most dynamic.
Research has also shown that the best place in interviews to boast about your achievements is near the end. This shows you as modest and also elicits the recency effect, making it more likely that your modesty and skill will be remembered.
In other circumstances, it is probably best to follow the current norms. In the last place I worked, nobody put their qualifications in their email signature. In the current place they do. I have eight sets of letters after my name (I'm an inveterate student), but few people put more than four, so I did likewise.

MANKATO – Police chased and Tasered a Mankato man accused of harassing and stalking a woman Monday at a Mankato business.
When police arrived at the Electric Beach, the man was near the front door of the business. Officers say when he saw the squad car he shed his sandals and shirt and fled on foot.
Police gave chase, eventually catching up with him on the track at Mankato East High School. It took three shots from a Taser to take 19-year-old Mal Pauliet Tharjiath into custody.
Investigators say Tharjiath and the victim barely know each other. However, there was an incident involving Tharijath and the same woman in October 2010 that did not involve any charges.
There was no restraining order between the two.
Police declined to say if the victim was an employee of the business.
Tharjiath was jailed pending a court appearance.
