EASy II Upgrade TSO'd for Dassault Falcon 900
Honeywell's EASy II upgrade for the Falcon 900 EASy received FAA technical standard order (TSO) approval from the FAA and is slated for certification in the 900 EASy later this year. EASy II is a major upgrade from Dassault Falcon's original EASy cockpit configuration based on Honeywell Primus Epic avionics and it includes Honeywell's SmartView synthetic vision, satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) approaches, ADS-B Out, required navigation performance authorization required (RNP AR) capability, automatic descent mode, SmartRunway (formerly Raas), XM WX graphical weather, electronic charts, FMS improvements, autothrottle takeoff and go-around improvements and more. The big change for EASy II is the way SmartView is portrayed on the pilot flight displays, with the synthetic view of the outside world visible on the entire display, behind the transparent flight data symbology. EASy II is also compatible with European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (Egnos), which allows for development of precision GPS-based approaches. Once certified on the Falcon 900 EASy, the upgrade will be available for installation on new Falcon 900LXs and as an upgrade on the 900 EASy models.

Thank a Teacher
On this night before a new school year is about to start and the summer vacation and family visits are memories, I was thinking about why I wanted to be a teacher in the first place.
I'm writing and posting these photos to pay tribute to wonderful teachers in my life.
In the 3rd grade I had an excellent teacher Grace Wagner from Dravosburg PA who taught at Winchester- Thurston. I found an alumni listing online Indiana PA Teachers College class of 1920. Unfortunately I can't find the photo I have of her but plan to unearth it and post someday soon. Who wouldn't love a teacher who wrote this about their student. I found it tonight in an envelope addressed to my parents, inside a deteriorating leather scrapbook. Isn't her handwriting beautiful? I am so grateful I discovered this report tonight before school starts. "she is able to put her gifts to good use" she wrote. I feel encouraged once again as I hear her voice as I read the words she wrote in 1960-1961
Miss Wagner marked a 1 ( outstanding) for Play Spirit on the report card. They don't have that category on report cards anymore.
And here is Winona Stewart from Morris Plains Borough School in New Jersey.
In the sixth grade and also in the 7th and 8th grade I had a most wonderful teacher- Winona Stewart. We had a Roman Banquet and she read The Human Comedy by William Saroyan aloud after lunch, and also The Incredible Journey by Sheila Burnford. Every week we memorized a poem and recited it- The Solitary Reaper by William Wordsworth is one I remember well. I took this photo of Mrs. Steward in 1966, the year I graduated from 8th grade. When I lived in Germany and my own kids were young in the early 80's, I found an address and wrote her a thank you note and told her how I remembered her reading aloud to our class and how she influenced my choice to get a Masters in Reading. She wrote a beautiful note back to me and one of these days I bet I unearth it, too. She collaborated with the next teacher I am going to mention. We did a show called The Curse of Ra as we learned about Egypt making a gold sarcophagus of papier mache and I was a dancing girl. It all seemed so exciting and wonderful and fun!
Mr G. is why I wanted to be an art teacher. I had him in grade school AND High School. I didn't try to contact him soon enough as he was deceased when I though of it.
Arthur W Guenther. He produced a movie with our 4th grade class called Around the World in 90 Minutes. I was from the Netherlands and we used real wooden shoes in the tulips. I got a bit part in the French segment too, standing by a Kiosk, chatting away. I remember Starr Kenyon went down the slide as if skiing. Titi Moglia wore a kimono and had a fan and there were pink tissue paper cherry blossoms. I wish I could see the movie again.
When I think of all his creativity, I am in awe.
Mr. Guenther danced on Broadway in the show South Pacific with Mary Martin and showed us his scrapbook,
Mr. Guenther helped finish the monochrome portrait of me in 4th period oil painting class. It hangs in my bathroom.
My granddaughter Anna asked this past week, "Why are you all green?: and I started thinking about Mr Guenther and how he inspired me.
And here I am tonight, wondering if I can inspire someone as I start my new classes.
My father, Roy J. Hendricks (b. 1912-d.2002) was a teacher in a one room school in Illinois
My mother Marian VanSickle (b. 1912- d. 2000) was a teacher in a one room school in Illinois That is my mom in the back row on the left.
What teacher inspired you?
Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry
for Mr. Swanger……
The weekly prompt suggested a tight crop, an abstract, perhaps some architectural lines of buildings. Hmmm. Here is my series in response to geometry.
I'm thinking parallel lines never meet. And then the intersecting lines, plotting points.
I loved geometry and the love of it came from the teacher whom I remember so well this evening as I write this post: Geometry.
I'm thinking of one of the best teachers I ever had- Mr. Swanger, in Morristown High School, New Jersey. I'm sure you have memorable teachers whom you remember, too.
Did a quick search and found this wonderful tribute in the Morris Educational Foundation publication.
Here is an excerpt and a link to the information about Saul Swanger Fellowship for New Teachers
"its purpose is "to encourage effective, innovative new teachers to pursue a lifetime of excellence in public education through the award of professional development fellowships, which help them to explore a professional passion, to pursue a course of study and/or undertake activities which would not otherwise be possible."
The Legacy of Saul S. Swanger
Whether it was flipping the chalk over his shoulder onto the top rim of the blackboard, his tests with humorous problems about Stanislaus and his incorrigible younger brother Whatalouse, the sweet smell of his pipe smoke, or the warmth with which he embraced all of his students, Saul Swanger is remembered fondly by many generations of MHS alumni.
Mr. Swanger began his teaching career in 1938, teaching English, Ancient History, American History, Sociology, Latin, Spanish, Algebra, and Geometry in a schoolhouse in Claytonia, Nebraska, which was home to students in grades K-12. He came to MHS in 1944 and remained for forty years, thirty of them as Chairman of the Math Department. Immediately prior to his retirement in 1984, the MHS Honor Society changed its name to the Saul S. Swanger Chapter of the National Honor Society.
When asked about his proudest moments, Mr. Swanger said, "Because I continue to live in the same town where I taught, hardly a week goes by without my meeting a former student whom I taught (or whose children or grandchildren I taught), usually to exchange warm and often humorous memories. At times like these, I remember the words of Henry Adams:
'A teacher affects infinity. He can never tell where his influence stops.'"
In a speech before the Middle States Evaluating Committee, which was reviewing the continued accreditation of MHS, Mr. Swanger spoke of young teachers as "noble and radiant with hope for the future." He went on to speak of

Traders take to the streets to revive West Cumbrian market
Last updated at 13:08, Friday, 01 March 2013
Twenty traders will take over Cockermouth's Market Place tomorrow as the town's monthly market is revived.
Cumbrian Food Direct has taken over the operation for 12 months.
A market will be held on the first Saturday of every month from 10am to 3pm.
The road will be closed from the entrance to Bitterbeck car park for about 330ft.
Traders including Cockermouth Sweet Shop, Shill's of Station Street, Winder Hall and Ennerdale Brewery will take stalls.
Pupils from Cockermouth School have also booked a stall.
Cumbrian Food Direct is working with Allerdale council, community group Riversmeet, the town's chamber of trade and Cockermouth School to revive the market, which has been held in the town since the 13th century.
Numbers had dwindled in recent months, with as few as two traders, which meant it was unviable.
Riversmeet put forward ideas earlier this month and since then has worked with Cumbrian Food Direct on the project.
It will now be known as the Cockermouth Local Produce Market.
Riversmeet will hold a indoor local and home-made craft and produce sale at the same time in its Market Street building.
Kerry McPhee, of Cumbrian Food Direct, said: "We are full with 20 local food and drink suppliers signed up.
"The idea is that we will recreate a bustling market again with plenty of choice. We want to bring that vibrancy back to Market Place."
It is hoped that street entertainers and cookery demonstrations may take place alongside the market in future.

Wow! If you think this school is the best preschool on this side of Los Angeles, then you don't expect much for your child. The school is junky, dirty (ie, carpet, bathrooms and toys), many repairs and updates needed. There's many safety issues. It's crowded with stuff everywhere. The teachers seem very stressed and unhappy.
This School is a wonderful asset to the community!! They are Redgio inspired, and use an array of methods to enhance your child's learning experience. Your child will learn and flourish in the best preschool on this side of Los Angeles! With 42 years of experience your child will walk away with a greater advantage, and understanding to help them excel in their academic future.
Excellent choice for my loving boys! I have a 4 year old and 16 month old boy who attend Little Angels and they are very happy there. They look forward to going to school and have learned alot since I placed them there back in April 2010. There is no perfect school, but the staff and administration at Little Angels do a superb job of nurturing their students.
CDC of Little Angeles is a great pre- school because it has a staff that is commited to the well-being of children. There is no perfect school but Little Angels comes very close. There are many field trips and enrichments such as sign language, dance, yoga, karate, and spanish. The toddler center could be better though They are well loved and cared for but the academics could be a better. I only say this because after having a child come from the toddler center at two able to identify the alphabet, numbers1-10, know her colors , shapes,spell her full name speak clear full sentences,and know many spanish words I have high expectations and the toddler staff now though very caring I haven't seen the the same type of work that my first daughter was doing. Overall a great choice for pre-k. Students by age 4 are readers, spellers, have math skills.
I was not informed of all policies in place, specifically the withdrawal policy enforced only after I withdrew my child from the school. I withdrew my child after her cultural beliefs were not respected, namely that they told her on 2 occasions to pray a certain way at mealtimes. This is not a religious school.
Academic programs are great, they offer music, dance, and have an array of programs. I would love to see this school have grades k-8

Yes, flat out, the season-ending torn ACL to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is absolutely devastating — no question about that. With the necessary disclaimer aside, there is still plenty of excitement and buzz surrounding this 2013 Eagles squad. Whoever emerges as the starting quarterback will still have plenty of targets to distribute the ball to. With Riley Cooper, DeSean Jackson, and Jason Avant already in the mix, and the additions of Zach Ertz and Damaris Johnson, it is very clear that the Michael Vick, Nick Foles, Matt Barkley trio will have no problem picking apart the opposing defense.
Injury is no stranger to training camp and around the NFL this weekend. Devastating injury news has spread like wildfire. Not just the Maclin injury, but Dennis Pitta, tight end for the Baltimore Ravens is out for the season with a dislocated — possibly fractured — hip. Even Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green went down with a bruised knee on a seemingly harmless deep route at Bengals camp.
The point is, teams have to be ready for this, and plans have to be in place for backups to be ready and to perform when they are called upon. Look for Chip Kelly to already be ahead of this, and already notified his receiving corps that they have to step up and make a difference, which given the talent and style of offense, maybe easier to do then was originally thought.
Beyond that, there has definitely been a different feeling at this year's Eagles training camp — that feeling is excitement.
Yes, the only wins that matter come in the regular season. Yes, no one is 100-percent sure who the starting quarterback is going to be. And yes, the Eagles defense has gone to a completely different scheme from the Wide-9 (thankfully).
The excitement regarding what this team can do once it unlocks its offensive and defensive potential is certainly in the air. It is exciting to know that players will have more accountability. It is exciting to know the defense will be working a scheme that allows them to speed rush the quarterback. Lastly, it is exciting to know that this tempo and this attitude can be taken into the regular season, and come Week 1 against Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins, the Eagles offense and defense should be pumping on all cylinders, looking to make a winning statement at FedEx Field.

Greenville residents recall Kennedy's death – The Daily Reflector
By Ginger Livingston
Thursday, November 21, 2013
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy Jr. devastated the nation and broke the hearts of Greenville residents.
That's because three years earlier Kennedy charmed Greenville and eastern North Carolina with an 87-minute campaign stop that featured a motorcade through the city, a stop at a tobacco warehouse and a speech at then East Carolina College.
"Folks felt like they knew him. They had shaken hands with him and had been around him for an hour or two. They had an attachment with him," David J. Whichard II, editor of The Daily Reflector in 1963, said. "When you've met somebody and seen him close up you feel like he's a part of you."
Kennedy's connection to the area is being remembered 50 years after an assassin's bullet struck him at 1:30 p.m. eastern time Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, while he traveled in a motorcade through the city of Dallas.
Throughout that weekend Greenville mourned Kennedy as if he were a native son, gathering at memorial services held by churches, East Carolina College and even the tobacco warehouse he visited in 1960.
Blount-Harvey's Department Store displayed a portrait of Kennedy, a Bible, flowers and black bunting in its window.
Unprecedented bond
In his book "John F. Kennedy's North Carolina Campaign," East Carolina University Professor John Allen Tucker documents Kennedy's campaign stop in Greenville and the rest of North Carolina. He also notes Greenville's reaction to the president's death.
"Kennedy's North Carolina campaign then resulted in more than electoral victory," Tucker wrote, "It created an unprecedented bond with a statesman, one that has not been matched since."
Other presidential candidates had visited North Carolina but they went to the large cities, Raleigh, Charlotte and Greensboro.
Kennedy was having a difficult time in the South because he was a Massachusetts Catholic, Tucker said. Prominent southern religious leaders, such as Martin Luther King Sr., did not support him because of fears he would be a proxy of the pope.
Kennedy had struck up a friendship with North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Terry Sanford, who had broken from the state's delegation at the Democratic Party National Convention to support Kennedy, Tucker said.
When Kennedy came to North Carolina, he knew he would be coming to the rural east and he would make it his first campaign stop.
He visited Farmers Warehouse where a tobacco auction was staged for him and he accepted a bouquet of tobacco leaves. He drove through town and then delivered a speech at East Carolina College.
Following his Greenville stop, Kennedy went on to campaign in Greensboro, Charlotte and Raleigh. A stop in Asheboro was canceled because of weather.
"I think the Kennedy visit made all the difference in the world," Tucker said. He not only won the state, but between 60 percent to 80 percent of the votes in most eastern North Carolina counties.
"Without that visit, it would have been easy for people to be apathetic," Tucker said.
Louis Gaylord was a Greenville attorney who served as master of ceremonies for the college speech and rode with Kennedy as his car looped around the speech site.
Gaylord said Kennedy amazed him because he took in details about the town while waving to the crowds.
"He was a much smarter man than I because I didn't think he was paying attention but he remembered it all," Gaylord said.
That November in 1963, Gaylord was sitting in traffic when he heard the announcement that the president was dead.
"I thought by golly, he's the president," he said. "That was my reaction, not that he came to Greenville or that I had been master of ceremonies during his campaign, but he was our president and had been assassinated and how horrible it was."
Tucker is a Greenville native. He was 8 years old and a student at Elmhurst School when Kennedy was assassinated.
"I don't think I quite understood what a funeral was and that this was a real person who died," Tucker said.
The principal went to each class to make the announcement, he said. When the students left for the day they were told to go home quietly and promptly. Tucker said the tone of her voice let them know there should be no pranks or joking around.
While discussing the day, another memory stuck out for Tucker.
Ficklen Stadium was under construction and a worker had been killed in an accident. Tucker said as he walked by the site in later days he was struck by how inescapable death felt.
Down the street at J.H. Rose High School, which is now C.M. Eppes Middle School, sophomore Thomas "Tommy" Forrest also was in one of the classroom outbuildings that were called the shacks.
"Someone came into the classroom and said they heard the president had been shot," Forrest said. "A little while later they made the announcement over the intercom that the president had been shot." Forrest was completely stunned.
"I never thought in my lifetime a president would be assassinated. That was something that was supposed to never happen. It was something that happened in other parts of the world," he said.
Forrest said his most vivid memories are of the following Monday when he and his classmates gathered around the school's flagpole for a memorial service. The flag was raised, then lowered to half-mast.
Forrest had pursued photography from a young age. Local television reporter Roy Hardee had Forrest shoot film for the story.
"A lot of people were very emotional," Forrest said. Later, a teacher allowed students to use her class to discuss their thoughts and feelings about the assassination.
Forrest became a photojournalist, covering events involving former president Jimmy Carter, former vice president Al Gore and a multitude of other dignitaries.
"It made me a little more cautious when I'm around dignities," Forrest said. "I photographed Jimmy Carter and I remember having a thought in the back of my head, 'What could happen?' 'What would happen' if something went haywire," he said.
Forrest said he always is cautious about his surroundings. "It really struck this nation and really changed the way people think."
Across town, the staff of The Daily Reflector, then an afternoon newspaper, were finishing up Friday's newspaper when the teletype went wild.
"From what I remember it was alert, the president had been shot or the president had been fired at, I don't remember exactly," Whichard said.
What he does remember is that despite the shock, everyone scrambled to redo the front page.
"It's the reaction you have in a newsroom; we have to get it out, we can't wait until tomorrow," Whichard said.
Assembling a front page was no easy task in 1963.
The paper was produced using linotype, where lines of copy were cast in metal and then assembled on a plate.
Typesetters prepared The Associated Press stories and reporters got the reaction of community leaders.
"It had to be put together piece by piece, line by line," Whichard said. "There was only so much you could do in that time.
"I'm pretty sure The Daily Reflectors that day weren't deliver until after dark," he said.
The community's grief was intense," Whichard said. So was his own grief.
"I did admire him. I had met him in Washington before. Shook hands with him, talked to him," he said. "He was a different kind of president than what we had. He was the World War II generation, not the World War I generation. He represented something different than what we had.
"All the folks that fought in World War II they were the same age as him and that group just blossomed after the war," Whichard said.
More than a president was lost on Nov. 22, 1963, according to most people.
"We lost something, something about respect for each other and we need to get it back," Whichard said. "We lost our melding as a nation. We need to share our views in a civil manner."
"I feel like Kennedy could have been one of our best presidents ever but he was taken away from us," Forrest said. "But then again, we have to move on, we can't dwell on tragedy. We have to make sure that it never happens again."

The Vibe: An up-and-coming rapper from Detroit, Angel Haze's talent is matched only by her candor—she describes herself as pansexual and has talked all about growing up in what she calls a religious cult. Her style has as much personality as her rapid-fire rap, with a whole lot of prints, black, and body jewelry.

So I decided to fall down the Brooklyn Nine-Nine rabbit hole where I encountered the hilarious and truly bizarre Chelsea Peretti as Gina Linetti. I was gonna say that she'd love for you to give her a shot, too, but honestly, I'm pretty sure she doesn't give a rat's ass. —erica

The Insider: Edith Zimmerman
And her infamous leggings.
When we interview people for this column, The Hairpin often comes up on the shortlist of favorite reads. (It's on ours, too!) So to say we were excited to talk to Edith Zimmerman, who founded that witty, smart, and thoughtful site two years ago, is, well, a ginormous understatement. Here, we rack the NYer's brain on everything Hairpin—and get a really awesome crazy-leggings story out of her, too. —jiayi
Q: How did The Hairpin come about?
A: I had been writing for The Awl, which is also a general-interest site, and when they had the opportunity to start a sister-site, they approached me about running it. I was terrified, but super excited.
Q: Where does the name come from?
A: When we were getting started, I was going through this mad race to find a relevant name that wasn't taken or stupid. There must've been dozens of potentials, but I came up with The Hairpin because it was available and seemed sort of feminine but also prickly. I kept coming up with names—but when it was time to flip the switch on the site, we just went with The Hairpin, because we hadn't come up with a better one.
Q: People point to The Hairpin as a source for really great longform writing. Did you intend for it to go that way?
A: One thing that was important for me at the beginning—and it still is—is that the balance between long and short things never be overwhelming. I like featuring longer pieces because people love to read them, and there's been some really wonderful longform writers who we've featured. But if we were to run long things all day, every day, it'd probably be overwhelming. I like this idea that if you were a casual reader, you could come to the site and consume everything on it in one day without being overwhelmed or left thinking that you were supposed to be reading it in a way you're not.
Q: Would you ever take The Hairpin print?
A: No. I think what's made it successful so far is the interaction with readers and commenters. A lot of what people come to the site for now, aside from the content—and I'm so lucky and grateful for this—is the funny, smart, and insightful comments that appear below the pieces. Without that, it'd be much drier. There's almost a 3D aspect to it. And I think there'd be a danger in trying to translate some of that to the page.
Q: How would you describe your clothing style?
A: I…wear the same thing a lot. I really wish uniforms were more celebrated in life. I do not relish getting dressed. I'll wear a different shirt than I wore yesterday, but ugh. I usually go with skinny jeans, boots, and an oversized shirt or something.
Q: Do you own any Of a Kind editions?
A: I just got the Ernest Alexander bag. I've been using it every day, and I love it.
Q: What's the best fashion advice anyone's given you?
A: My friend Jane Marie, who runs The Hairpin with me, is very good at this. She encourages me to try new things, because the worst that can happen is never that bad. I was visiting her in L.A. recently—we went to this boutique, where there was this pair of leggings that I don't even know how to describe. They're insane. They're in all these neon colors with this ridiculous harlequin pattern. These are neon leggings, right? Which is the last thing I'd ever buy or wear. But she told me I had to get them, because I'm usually so unadventurous, and I was like, "Ok," because they were pretty cheap. I thought I'd never wear them, but then a month later, I was in Vegas for her bachelorette party, and I figured if I was ever going to wear these ridiculous pants, a bachelorette party in Vegas was the way to go. And I did, and they were perfect.

Because I mean they are sort of amazing right?

Ding Quarry Action Group
The Story So far...
During the summer of 1995, plans to re-open a quarry by DP Williams on Rooley Moor, right on the outskirts of Rochdale looked all set to go ahead. He had been given the right to quarry for stone from the disused 'Ding Quarry' by the Lord of the Manor.
News spread fast, the people of Rochdale were not about to allow hundreds of lorries pass through Rochdale and Rooley moor road, with no fight at all. Momentum spread fast, An Action group was formed.
As soon as DP Williams' lorries were spotted, a huge group of local residents blockaded the cattle grid at Lanehead.
Rochdale Police arrested a few protestors, but this was just the start... Through countless meetings, fact finding missions, fund raising activities the backing of Rochdale Council, we were finally able to get Ding quarry declared a 'dormant quarry, this meant DP Williams had to start afresh, and prepare a new planning application for Rochdale Council to get stone from Ding Quarry.
In Nov. 1995, Ding quarry was classified as a 'dormant' quarry. Dormant
has a special legal meaning in this context; it means that the quarry
company has the right to apply for modern working conditions to re-open
the quarry.
The purpose of this website is to allow the exchange of information, news and events that will take place regarding Ding Quarry, and also events in and around the Rochdale township.
It also serves to remember the battle we had with DP Williams and the spirit of every person in Rochdale connected with the fight, always remember, "A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link".
Let us keep the chain oiled and ready for action !!!

Stuart has visited the sites with a number of archaeological experts including representatives from the British Geological Survey and Natural England.
Visits to the site have found it could be a man made site with others thinking that the stones on do not appear to be random.
Stuart said: "I have tried to get the many archaeological sites in the area of the proposed Rooley Moor wind farm registered in some way. There are a surprising amount of sites on Rooley Moor."

Stephen E.'s Event Journal
Peter Pan
Friday June 22, 2012 / 8:00pmPeter Pan
2 tickets
Section A
14900 La Mirada Boulevard
La Mirada, CA 90638
How was your experience?
I have known the score for "Peter Pan" since I was a child, since my mother played the original-cast album a lot. But I'd never seen it live on stage until now. I figured seeing Cathy Rigby, who has made the role her own, was the way to go, and I wasn't disappointed. The songs are lovely, and this staging was a lot of fun. Who can resist Peter flying?

The International Rugby Board has announced the referee appointments for the RBS Women's Six Nations Championship 2014.
Appointments were made by the IRB Match Official Selection Committee following a detailed review of recent performances.
The Women's Six Nations, which kicks off on January 31 and concludes on March 16, will see nine referees take charge of 15 matches with Nicky Inwood, Helen O'Reilly, Claire Hodnett, Christine Bigaran, Sherry Trumbell and Leah Berard being appointed to two matches each.
Click here for the full list of referee appointments.
England's Hodnett will referee the first game of the championship between defending champions Ireland and Scotland in Ashbourne, while Marlize Jordaan of South Africa will take charge of the final match, which will be between Italy and England in Milan.
The full list of referees, sponsored by Emirates, for the Women's Six Nations 2014 is: Jess Beard (NZR) Leah Berard (USA Rugby), Christine Bigaran (FFR), Claire Hodnett (RFU), Nicky Inwood (NZR), Marlize Jordaan (SARU), Amy Perrett (ARU), Helen O'Reilly (IRFU) and Sherry Trumbull (Rugby Canada).
Referee preparation for the Six Nations championship included a three-day camp in Marcoussis, France, which is a host venue for the Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 in August.
The camp mirrored the gathering for their male counterparts held last August at the same venue. The schedule included a series of preparation sessions, ranging from the consistent management of the 'crouch, bind, set' scrum engagement trial to an extensive fitness monitoring programme.
The IRB Women's Match Official Selection Committee is chaired by John Jeffrey and comprises Kat Todd (USA Rugby), Michel Lamoulie (FFR), Wayne Erickson (ARU), Bernd Gabbei (IRB) and IRB High Performance Match Officials Manager Joël Jutge.

Best Foods To Eat To Lose Weight - Garcinia Cambogia Promotes Natural And Healthy Weight Loss In 4 Ways
By vfilpindero | Thursday, August 14, 2014, 01:44
Pure Garcinia Cambogia: Recent Studies About This Weight Loss Supplement Prove That Dieting and Exercising Aren't Necessary for Weight Loss!. Garcinia Cambogia Takes the World by a Storm with Its Zero Effort Fat Burning Properties!
Proclaimed as being the Sacred Grail of Weight Reduction, Garcinia Cambogia More Provides Absolutely nothing Effort Weight-loss
Get the Garcinia Cambogia Free Trial Offer On this page
Garcinia Cambogia is the latest buzz in the "battle of the bulge". Ever since its recent study on a popular doctor television show, a huge number of people are praising this "miracle weight loss pill". Surprisingly though, many people struggling to lose weight have yet to hear about this powerful supplement.
Garcinia Cambogia looks very much like an undersized pumpkin, green in color and oval in shape. The active component in garcinia cambogia, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), has been clinically proven to promote positive fat burning and appetite suppressing effects. The natural HCA in Garcinia Cambogia has shown to accelerate the metabolism of subjects in clinical trials and has become an accepted agent promoting weight loss in the battle to burn excess stored fat with genuinely exciting results.
Click This Link To Receive Garcinia Cambogia Extract®
HCA inhibits the citrate lyase enzyme which is known to be an important catalyst in the metabolic process of converting excess carbohydrates into fat. Once this process is inhibited by HCA, human body's natural reaction causes an increase in carbohydrate oxidation resulting in drastic weight loss.
There are several factors to consider when looking for the right Garcinia Cambogia extract. Where did the garcinia cambogia come from? Is the extract 100% pure? Does it have the right dose per serving? Does it contain over 50% HCA (hydroxycitric acid)? Is it produced in a FDA registered laboratory? Is it manufactured under the strict guidelines of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration?

Firefox 4 Beta Available for Download
Mozilla on Tuesday made Firefox 4 Beta 1 available for download and testing. For the first time Mozilla has integrated a testing feedback app into its Beta to make it easier for people to offer their suggestions and report problems.
"This is a very early Beta, so a lot of features are not complete yet, and the interface is still rather unpolished," Alex Faaborg, principal designer at Mozilla Firefox said in a blog post.
New beta versions will be released every two or three weeks until the official Firefox 4 launch, which is tentatively scheduled for November 2010.
Tabs on top
The most visible change to the Firefox 4 user interface is the location of the tabs at the top, similar to Chrome's tab placement. Chrome has a combined Web address and search bar that is called the "Omnibar." Firefox's "Awesome Bar" is similar, but it has added functionality such as a "Switch to Tabs" option to search across open tabs while retaining a separate search bar.
The only item above the tabs is the Firefox Command button that includes tasks like print the page, send a link and exit. A useful addition would be the standard minimize, maximize and exit icons in the upper right corner of the browser window. At this time, it's a Command button function, but oversights like this one are typical of beta versions.
"Recently modern browsers have been transitioning to placing tops on top, and that decision isn't arbitrary, it isn't about fashion," Mozilla's Faaborg said. "The change to placing tabs on top isn't about one browser versus another browser, it's about the evolution of the Web as a platform."
HD video with HTML5
Video support has evolved as well and the new Firefox 4 offers HTML5 support, a next generation programming language for Web sites that can integrate video without a third party plugin like Adobe Flash.
Add-ons manager
Firefox is best known for its dizzying array of more than 6000 add-ons that users have downloaded 2 billion times. Thankfully, Firefox 4 Beta 1 introduces an improved Add-ons Manager accessible from Firefox Command dropdown that displays a list of all current add-ons and options to disable or enable from this menu.
Firefox 4 Beta includes the feedback add-on for this testing version, which will be removed when the final version is released in the fall.

I know The Hunger Games premiere was a few days ago, but I just love this Prabal Gurung dress that
Katniss Jennifer Lawrence wore on the red carpet. Gold + an open back + a fishtail silhouette equals a winning combination.
Here's your Hunger Games fix for the day: it's a picture of Katniss and Peeta wearing their District 12 uniforms. Looking good, kids!
OK I know everyone on Tumblr has been posting this, but here it is again it all its glory: The Hunger Games trailer! I cannot wait to see this!

Washington, DC
In my Washington, DC office, internships run throughout the fall, spring or summer semesters for college students. Although all internships in all offices are unpaid, students gain invaluable work experience. The hours are flexible to accommodate students' hectic course schedules, but generally run 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. when Congress is in session, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when not in session.
In Washington, interns' responsibilities will vary. They will be asked to answer phones, run errands, research legislation for the Member and legislative staff, attend hearings and briefings and answer constituent letters on various issues before the House. As a result, interns learn about the legislative process and the many other functions of a congressional office.
Anoka, MN
In my Minnesota office, interns may be asked to do a variety of things, including day-to-day office work such as answering phones, writing letters and assisting with media clips. In addition, interns may be assigned to assist in various constituent case work or work on District-based projects of importance.
If you would like more information on Congressional Internships—please contact my office.
Minimum requirement of 10 consecutive weeks. We can be accomodating with different schedules

Cooking Classes In France
My Mother and I are in the begining stages of taking a trip to France in a year or so. We are thinking about going in either September or May (not this year but next year).
We both love to cook and have been greatly influenced by French cooking---mostly by Julia Childs. We would love to take a cooking class for 2-4 days as part of our trip. We have both been to Paris before (my most favorite place on Earth) and are interested in visiting other areas of France. Possibly Provence, Bordeaux, or Burgundy---but in all honesty we are up for anything.
I'm looking for suggestions of places you have experienced where there is hands-on lessons in English. Something unique with a genuine French feel is exactly what we are looking for.
Thanks for your help!
L'atelier des chefs offers cooking classes in Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon (and Bruxelles).
Le Cordon Bleu in Paris offers avocational cooking classes of one-and two-day duration, in French with English translators, http://www.cordonbleu.net/ as does the Ritz-Escoffier Cooking School. http://www.ritzparis.com/actu/index.a...
I have taken classes in both places, and they are enjoyable and educational.
Patricia Wells also offers excellent classes in both Paris and Provence (www.patriciawells.com), and Susan Hermann Loomis does the same in Paris and Normandy (www.onruetatin.com). Both are hands-on, and offer wonderful experiences.
Also in Provence, in St. Remy de Provence, the Mas de Cornud has hands-on classes www.mascornud.com in a lovely setting near the Roman ruins of Glanum, and Erick and Madeleine Vedel have a charming B&B and cooking school (hands-on as well) at www.cuisine provencale.com.
Hope this helps.
re: ChefJune
Thank you ChefJune.
The places in Provence sound great---especially if it includes a cozy B&B or someplace to stay where the classes take place.
I've heard of Patricia Wells classes from one of my travel Guides. In particular they mentioned a chocolate making class. Mmmmmm!
re: Elyssa
Both the places in Provence have beautiful B&B's with nice amenities.
re: Elyssa
Patricia Wells is already booked up for 2008!!!! Very popular!!
So now I'm obsessed with idea of going to Provence! So any 2-4 day cooking classes in this area would be perfect. All I've been finding are week long programs which doesn't really work for us since we plan to spend some time in Giverney and elsewhere. Still open to other areas though if the programs are hands-on, not a whole week, and taught in English.
Maybe you can be diverted of your newly acquired and costly Provencal obsession with Brittany? Roellinger, one of the greatest artists in cooking in my opinion, has started a teaching program that he seems to adapt to demand. www.maisons-de-bricourt.com . Also, the Ritz school mentioned above is highly recommendable and highly professional.
re: souphie
I've heard good things about the Ritz school but its in Paris only correct? We have both been to Paris (me twice) and even though its probably my favorite place in the world we are eager to explore new places.
But I've heard wonderful things about Brittany so I'll check out Maisons de Bricourt. Thank you.
Btw...I'm not totally tied to Provence but the idea of the lavender fields and checking out the area that inspired Van Gogh is very tempting. :)
Elissa, there's another place... in Ecully outside of Lyon, the Institut Paul Bocuse is housed in a gorgeous chateau. They have avocational classes at some times of year. You would have to check their web site.
The restaurant at the school is picturesque, and the food is wonderful. http://www.institutpaulbocuse.com/
re: ChefJune
Thank you so much ChefJune! You've been a wonderful resource. If you yourself have an actual restaurant in Paris/France I would love to hear about it so I can stop by. :)
re: Elyssa
In provence there is a wonderful week or couple day option in Nice or the mountains near there. Check out Tasteofprovence.com It is taught in english and includes some touring. I had a wonderful time and the chef is really friendly.
Don't know HOW I could have forgotten about Kathie Alex's program, "Cooking with Friends in France" http://cookingwithfriends.com/ . In the hills above Grasse, Kathie runs a wonderful culture and cooking program in Julia Child's old house! How's that for ambiance?
Lucky you!!! I long to go to the Rhode School of Cuisine in Provence. I've been to their cooking school in Tuscany and have been trying to get to France ever since. Here's their site: http://www.rhodeschoolofcuisine.com/
re: HungryLetsEat
Wow! they have quite a business going!
re: ChefJune
ChefJune I read your suggestion about Cooking with Friends ...and may just have to book a room for the truffle hunt in February! I have read Julia's autobiography and loved her narratives of all of the cooking she did in that house with Simone Beck. Can think of no better place to soak in "Julia vibes" and learn about truffles. Sounds like heaven! Thanks for turning us on to that place.
re: HungryLetsEat
my pleasure!
We did Kathie Alex's Cooking With Friends week-long class near Grasse a few years ago and it was fabulous! Seven people in my family participated and we stayed in Julia's home there and also in Simone Beck's house which is next door. The lessons were conducted in Julia's kitchen each morning and we had lunch there, then were free for the rest of the day. We also visited the market in Cannes, a cheese cave, a Michelin starred restaurant in Mougins where we had a cooking lesson with the chef, the kitchen of the Palm D'Or in Cannes followed by a wonderful meal on the terrace. The whole week was just wonderful and I would highly recommend it.
Two friends from the Bay Area who went to the Cordon Bleu, told me that they think the classes with the Princesse Marie-Blanche de Broglie were a good place to go when visiting Paris. They felt that the Cordon Bleu was too regimented with their technique. They thought the Princesse was a truly French experience. I have yet to get the chance to go to her classes, but am trying to find time to do it with my daughter.
For the past three decades, Princess Marie-Blanche de Broglie has been teaching French cuisine and the traditional art of entertaining to the Tout-Paris (rumor has it that Lady Diana took lessons there too). As well as daily programs where students prepare and share lunch, her school offers three diploma courses including the "Grand diplôme Princesse Marie-Blanche de Broglie" of 20 cooking classes, three pastry groups, five "art de vivre sessions," two tastings (French cheese/ French Wine) and a graded final exam for 3 000E.
re: Bagel in France
<They felt that the Cordon Bleu was too regimented with their technique> I'm not sure what that means. The classes are demonstration classes! Yes, they do show you how to do things the correct way. When you get home you can do it any way you want.
I've gotten a great deal out of the classes at both LCB and the Ritz-Escoffier school.
If you do take the "Princess'" classes, be sure to let us know how you liked them.
