The National Federation of the Blind of Arizona is a 501 (c) 3 consumer organization comprised of blind and sighted people committed to changing what it means to be blind. Though blindness is still all too often a tragedy to those who face it, we know from our personal experience that with training and opportunity it can be reduced to the level of a physical nuisance. We work to see that blind people receive the services and training to which they are entitled and that parents of blind children receive the advice and support they need to help their youngsters grow up to be happy, productive adults.
We believe that first-class citizenship means that people have both rights and responsibilities, and we are determined to see that blind people become first-class citizens of the United States, enjoying their rights and fulfilling their responsibilities. The most serious problems we face have less to do with our lack of vision than with discrimination based on the public's ignorance and misinformation about blindness.
Join us in educating Arizonans about the abilities and aspirations of Arizona's blind citizens.
We are changing what it means to be blind.
The NFB of Arizona has local chapters, at-large members, and special divisions for diabetics, merchants, students, seniors, the Deaf-Blind, and parents of blind children. Information about blindness, self advocacy, and current issues is circulated by email and posted on NFB-NEWSLINE, our digitized newspaper-reading service by phone, and on our website.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama will be online Wednesday for an "Ask Me Anything" question and answer session, known as an AMA.
The president will be on the site reddit.com at 4:30 p.m. for the unprecedented half hour event.
On the Reddit page, the Obama campaign wrote, "Hey everybody - this is barack. Just finished a great rally in Charlottesville, and am looking forward to your questions.
"At the top, I do want to say that our thoughts and prayers are with folks who are dealing with Hurricane Isaac in the Gulf, and to let them know that we are going to be coordinating with state and local officials to make sure that we give families everything they need to recover."
Reddit is a social website where users can upload content, either links or text, as "self" posts. Other users can then vote the submission up or down, which determines how the post is ranked on the homepage.
Obama announced the event in a tweet:

Windows won't load after failed registry backup-Import
I tried to import an entire registry backup, I received an error message similar to this one:" Error accessing the registry.".
then, Via "regedit" I tried to give permissions to my WinUser, (giving full control ).
I still received the same message, so I restarted my pc,And now all I get is black screen when I logon to my user,Same in safe mode.
(I made the backup via regedit, using the export option on every "HKEY" folder, and on "Computer", so I have 6 reg files )
I still have the entire REG backup on my hard drive.
I have hiren's boot and erd commander if it helps, they have some registry tools.
Is it possible to import the backup to my windows?
Thank you.

Hello Supdoc,
To restore the complete registry, you would normally use system restore instead.
Registry - Backup and RestoreIf you have a restore point available dated before this happened, you could do a system restore at boot with the restore point to do so.
Hope this helps,

Thank you for your massage!
All I have is backup I made :/
Is it possible to convert the reg files to a system files? Maybe I an do it on other PC, and then move the files to my hard drive?
Is it possible to import reg BU via other tool?

Sure there are many registry backup programs. The most known is Erunt. But there are also RegBak, RegKey Backup, Registrar Registry Manager and others.
My guess would be that those restore only backups that you made with their program. If you have no restore points or images, I am afraid you'll have to do with what you have.
|My System Specs
|20 Feb 2013
You could use the free program ERUNT to try and import the .reg file with. Use the ZIP download, extract to a USB flash drive, boot to a command prompt at boot, and run ERUNT from the USB flash drive.

Like Wolfgang posted above, I'm not sure the program will work unless you restore what the program exported/backed up.

I managed to make a new account via locksmith, and fix the permissions via registry tool.
I can log in to my guest account, But when I try to login to my user account it says the group policy client service failed the logon access is denied
I tried this solution:
- open registry editor on the machine which stores the users profile (make sure you are logged in as administrator)
- highlight HKEY_USERS
- File -> Load Hive, browse to the location of failing roaming profile and open NTUSER.DAT file, click open
- Under Key Name, enter any name you like, but remember what you have entered, eg.: enter "Vista"
- Expand, HKEY_USERS, you should see new registry hive called "Vista" or any name you entered earlier
- Right click on that "Vista" hive and choose permissions
- Confirm that the following users have permissions:
- Administrators: Full Control
- SYSTEM: Full Control
- User (or group) that owns this profile: Full Control
- if permissions were wrong, correct them, then click on Advanced tab
- on Advanced tab and enable "Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects" and click Apply
- highlight "Vista" registy hive, then click on File -> Unload Hive to release handle on NTUSER.DAT file.
Please advice

Stage, August 10, 2006And one for Dennis: What a great article by Dennis Brown on the Muny and Kate Baldwin ["Just Married"]. We try to come every year from Madison, Wisconsin, and it is an incredible event. We sat out the rain last year to give Kate her "you are loved" standing ovation in The Sound of Music. We also traveled to see her in White Christmas in San Francisco — another superb production with Ben Whiteley as music director.
Thanks for a great article, and to the Muny!
Susan Manning, Madison, Wisconsin Cafe, August 10, 2006
The kind folks at La Dolce Via didn't bat an eye when I asked for any assistance possible with our event. They went above and beyond our expectations in every way they could, making everyone involved feel truly appreciated. The community can be encouraged to return the favor and get a wonderful meal out of the deal!

Josh Thomas, Kansas City This Modern World, August 10, 2006
I also believe in equal time for opposing views. Tom Tomorrow's cartoon is humorous, and so very wrong. You guys and your hatred for George Bush is sometimes hard to believe. I'm sure Tomorrow is an educated man; however, it is obvious he does not do his due diligence. Nobody on the kook-fringe-left does. You believe everything you hear, read or are told, and you do nothing to find out the real truth: There were (and still are) WMDs in Iraq and all over the Middle East. There are more trees in the world than there were before Columbus discovered America. It was 104 degrees three times in Wisconsin during the 1930s. Our country does not engage in indiscriminate bombing; in fact, quite the opposite (it is obvious you have not served in the military and are probably damn proud of that). The New York Times did help the enemy and compromise our intelligence.
Why you crazies don't realize that these religious fanatics want us all dead, and will do everything they can to accomplish that end, is very puzzling. On 9/11, everything changed. History will show that George Bush was a determined, committed president who went after the Hitlers of our time in spite of the constant hatred and criticism spewed by the Hillaries (who I happen to like), Ted (who I cannot stand...they killed the wrong Kennedy. Oswald. Oh yes, the Muslim. Sirhan, Sirhan, Sirhan), Gore (shudder to think of him as president, whew), and of course, "Yes I voted for it, and then I voted against it, I think. I'm not indecisive, am I?" Kerry (God was looking out for us with this one).
I know you won't print this; however, I had to get this off my chest. Thank you for allowing me to spew at you.
Roger G. Stout, St. Louis

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail Original post can be found here. 'Why is my supplication (du'a) not being answered?' is a common complaint that some Muslims make. If we put aside the obvious gremlins (lack of sincerity in making du'a, impatience with the response, asking for something sinful or for breaking family ties, not ensuring one's income; food; and clothing are halal), there are other factors that play a part in the response of a du'a not being apparently forthcoming. We read in one hadith: 'There is no Muslim who makes a supplication, in which there is neither sin nor severing ties of kinship, save that Allah will grant because of it one of three things: either He will grant him a prompt response, or store it up for him in the Hereafter, or avert from him an equivalent harm.'1 That the response to a du'a could be put-off, or be responded to in a way the petitioner doesn't anticipate, is the theme of one of Ibn Ata'illah al-Iskandari's (d.709H/1309CE) famous Hikam – or "Aphorisms". The Kitab al-Hikam, or Hikam al-Ata'iyyah is the most famous collection of wisdom sayings in the corpus of Islamic literature, composed by the accomplished Maliki jurist and sufi, Ahmad ibn Ata'illah of Alexandria, Egypt. The Hikam has a reputation for its succinct exposition of spiritual realities and practices to spur seekers on to the stations of ihsan. Its appeal is that it combines brevity, energy of expression and layers of meanings, couched in beautiful rhyming Arabic prose. This, together with its numerous large and small commentaries, has ensured its popularity among laypeople and scholars alike till this day. Below is the sixth aphorism in the collection (in red), followed by a brief commentary by Shaykh 'Abd al-Majid al-Shurnubi (d.1348H/1929CE). The theme of this aphorism, as said before, addresses the issue of du'a and the subtle wisdom behind why Heaven's response to it is sometimes delayed: ♦ 6. If, in spite of intense supplication, there is a delay in the timing of the Gift, let that not be the cause for your despair. For He has guaranteed you a response in what He chooses for you, not in what you choose for yourself; and at the time He desires, not the time you desire. 'That is, let not a delay in the timing of a gift [response] – despite persistence and firm continuance in making du'a – be a cause to despair about a response to the du'a. For Allah, transcendent is He, has guaranteed you a response, as per His words: "Call upon Me, and I will respond to you" [60:40] in what He chooses for you, not what you choose for yourself. For He knows what is better for you than you do. Perhaps you may ask for a thing, the denial of which is better for you. The author writes later: "Sometimes He gives while depriving you, and sometimes He deprives while giving to you."2 This is witnessed by those who realise the station: It may be that you hate a thing though it is good for you, or love a thing though it is bad for you. Allah knows, but you know not. [2:216] This is why one of the Gnostics stated: "His withholding from you is, in reality, a form of giving." Likewise, He has guaranteed you a response in the time He chooses, not in the time of your choosing. You ought to cultivate a Moses like patience, for patience and avoiding hastiness more befits the servant. Don't you see that Moses would supplicate against Pharaoh and his people, and Aaron would say: "Amen" to it: "O Lord, destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they persist in disbelief, until they face the painful torment." [10:88] Yet only after forty years were their prayers answered, as He said: "Your prayer is answered. Follow, both of you, the right path and do not walk in the footsteps of those who know not." [10:89] In one hadith [it says]: "Indeed, Allah loves those who are persistent in supplicating."3 It has also been related that when a righteous slave supplicates to Allah, exalted is He, Gabriel says: O Lord, your slave wants a need of his fulfilled. So Allah responds: "Leave my slave; for I love him and love to hear his voice."4 So, O aspirant, fulfill what Allah has instructed you with in respect to supplication, and submit to His will. Perhaps you will be responded to by Him withholding from you and giving you other than what you were seeking, by which you are then granted the greatest good, and even more. [10:26]'5 ≈ 1.

Either it will be hastened for him in this world, or stored up for him in hereafter, as long as he doesn't pray for something sinful, or cut the ties of kinship, or seek a speedy response". The companions said, "O Messenger of Allah, what does seeking a speedy response means?". He replied, "(by saying) I have prayed to my Lord but He didn't reply it" (Tirmidhi) Insha Allah , I write similar in my blog ""Why is Allah Doing This To Me? Why Does He Ignore Me? Why Doesn't He Answer My Prayers?" if you don't mind myself sharing link it's here wp.me/p3gwjq-a0 2 0 Reply Anisa Fatima August 19, 2013 Salam, JazakAllah for this nice post. One should not disappoint with the help of Allah Almighty (SWT), He (SWT) would not let you disappointed. 1 0 Reply yaseen August 19, 2013 What a timely article. Recently I remember not too long after I reverted to Islam and did not have much knowledge of anything outside of the Shahadah itself and I had my first brain tumor. I was 22 years old and what little family I had left following the earthquake that devastated Haiti had rejected me for what they viewed as the apostasy to the religion of heathens. The doctor told me I had a brain tumor and the firs tthing I said to him was 'Alhamduillah', he looked at me like I was crazy. He then gave me about 15 years to live and suggested I have surgery. I left his office and made dua that Allah give me what is best in this situation regardless of the outcome. I had surgery and I laid there alone with one visitor who was a brother I had met after taking my shahadah. I wish I had knowledge of the verses mentioned in this article but specifically, I wish that I knew that I would be a fool to say that I believe and not expect to be tested. I laid there and asked to be granted another chance and I got it. I left the hospital in week which was extremely unprecedented. I had not been practicing out of my own ignorance and coming into Islam by the will of Allah and no help from any other Muslims. Looking back it is no surprise that the painful headaches returned and not even 9 months later I was diagnosed with another brain tumor. I had another surgery and made dua for the same thing; recovery under Allah's terms. I also stated that I would attempt to learn more and practice Islam properly. I recovered again but became dismayed with the fact that where I live many Muslims are racist. This made me continue to stay to myself and look for audio lectures and books. Since then I have read more books than I can count on Islam and listen to lectures daily in order to keep my iman where it needs to be. I say all of that to say this, there is nothing in the Quran and Sunnah that does not make sense and if you choose not to educate yourself, you will be a sheep amongst wolves. In my day to day life I do not encounter any fellow Muslims but this is no excuse not to do the minimum at the least. We would be fools not to expect calamities if we do not obey Allah. There is a big difference between one who takes shahadah and is therefore Muslim nominally and one who practices Islam. Lastly, the only thing, in my opinion, worse than not being Muslim is to be a Muslim who chooses to remain ignorant this not knowing how to deal with hardships that they may face. I am no scholar, imam, or aalim, these are just my experiences that I am sharing in the hopes that it will be of benefit to someone. If you find good in this, Allah is soley responsible for it. If there is bad in this I share that responsibility with no one. 18 0 Reply HelplessSlave August 21, 2013 Assalamualaikum Warhamtullahi Wabarakaatuhu, Subhana Allah Brother, you have a lot of Tawakkul in Allah, it is mind-blowing just reading your comment, as it epitomizes the beauty of Islam, having strong reliance on Allah, no matter what ever that happens.

I am one of those and I have been in this dire state for some time, I pray everyday with true sincerety, crying my eyes out but no results. What am I doing wrong. I have not stopped supplicating and I am very hopeful that the Almighty will respond inshallah soon. I am in despair but this is a challenge for me because I am in close touch with my creator because one day I will meet him and he will have all the answers for me May Allah Subhanwatala grant you peace and prosperity and a long and healthy life to continue doing God's work in this Dunia.Please remember me in your prayers. 1 0 Reply Rayees August 22, 2013 Assalamu alaikm, warahmathullahi wabarakathuhu, A very good article.Thanks for sharing.May Allah forgive all our sins, and enter us all into his jannah ! 0 0 Reply awaiskhan August 22, 2013 very good article for hopeless people JazakAllah Hum khair. 0 0 Reply Muhammad September 10, 2013 This must be our firm belief that there may be delay in the court of Allah but can never be any injustice to any creature.

Chinese Caterer NYC June 8th rehearsal dinner
I had contracted with Xing Restaurant last November to cater my son's wedding rehearsal dinner on June 8th at the Rectory Hall of Church of Our Saviour at 38th and Park.
Two weeks ago I was infomed the restaurant was going out of business. They gave me the name of their chef and I have worked with him for the last two weeks with him indicating he was at a new restaurant and could still handle the event.
THIS MORNING I received an email saying he was being transferred to another restaurant which was out of town.
I have relied on these representations and have paid a non refundable deposit on the hall, had invitations printed, and have purchased chinese theme decorations.
I am going to have about 40 people at the rehearsal dinner.
My son and fiance wanted a chinese theme - be a little more relaxed than the very formal wedding the next day.
Is there anyone there who can cater who knows a GOOD CHINESE RESTAURANT that might be able to deliver food and I could hire waitstaff?
This is going to be a buffet at 7pm.
I was providing the wine/champagne privately.
Any info would be appreciated as I live in Tampa Florida and prior to the wedding I have two sons graduating from college. Thus, my time is extremely limited.
re: kobetobiko
Either. I liked the Fusion but I can take authentic as long as it isn't "Americanized"
Xing was going to cater for $50 per head. This included the waitstaff.
Shun Lee Palace and Wu Liang Ye have both catered for me...either is a fantastic choice.
You might want to post your question on one of the Chinese bridal message boards. Chinabridal had the best board but theirs seems to be down. The board at The Knot is working.
Chinese food is best when it is fresh out of the wok. After a long search and calls made (most Chinese restaurants aren't willing to give up their staff), we found S.Dynasty in midtown will cook for my bestfriends wedding on site if there is a kitchen provided. They will also need to see the kitchen. I'm not sure about the waitstaff but you can inquire.

Honda debuts production Dakar Racer CRF450 Rally
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Oct 8th, 2012 at 8:27AM
The Dakar Rally Raid is a spectacle unlike anything else in motorsports. With a course that tracks its way through some of the most unforgiving and forgotten areas in South America, the event is challenging enough for those who tackle the race on four wheels. The guys who make for the dunes on motorcycles, however, are simply our kind of insane. Honda has chosen to honor this year's factory team with a production version of the race bike. The CRF450 Rally debuted at the 2012 International Motorcycle, Scooter and Bike Fair in Cologne, Germany, and is based on the standard CRF450. Honda... Read More

*** Studio Equipment ***
I teach in the Education Building of a Church that has individual classrooms, where lessons will be held, all of which are off a common area where parents can wait during the lesson.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I will bring my instrument and a music stand for myself, and I assume the student will have their own as well. There are specific collections of songs and exercises that the student should be ready to purchase based on their level of playing and will be determined after our initial lesson. Students will want to continue to invest in other collections as they progress and I will occasionally provide additional materials as appropriate.
*** Specialties ***
I have a Bachelor of Music Education and taught middle school strings in the Houston area public schools. I utilize methods of Kodaly (certified Level I) in creating a holistic approach to teaching music and use the songs and progression of the Suzuki School for beginners. I incorporate ear-training, music theory, and music history into learning about music in addition to the mechanics of playing a string instrument. My ultimate goal is to help each student become their own teacher!
***Special Needs***
I am more than happy to explore ways in which students with special needs can engage music through listening, reading, writing, singing and even playing an instrument...let's talk!!
I started studying music when I was 5 on violin. At age of 6 I added piano. At middle school I started learning clarinet and saxophone to enrich my background. A bit later I added guitar. I was taking the most comprehensive classes which included ensembles, chorus, orchestra, band, solfeggio and music theory. I continued my music education at Music College on violin for another 4 years. My family moved to Israel, and I continued my education at Jerusalem Music Academy on violin and guitar, and graduated with Bachelor Degree in Music Performance and Education.
During my carrier I was always actively playing. I worked in symphony and chamber orchestras, concerting with bands, jazz, rock and pop groups. I am advanced player in guitar, violin, bass, piano in many genres and styles. Having perfect pitch, I instantly integrate and play by ear, with fluent improvisation. I have experience in orchestration and composition. I have years of experience in professional music recording as well as live sound. I served as invitational studio player and recorded many music albums.
I am teaching for more than 15 years, both children and adults. I am helping my students to discover the world of music in unique learning environment which we create together. I believe that time together with the teacher should be most comprehensive by growing his/her instrument skills as well as feeding the student with information to promote their intelligence.
I do my best keeping my students interested, encourage home practices and improve proficiency. Every student gets individual attention. I plan my lessons, methodology and repertoire based on background and skills, and, of cause, I truly enjoy my students progressing. I have many students staying with me for many years.

Published Author -- Composer -- Soloist
I teach all of the band instruments, orchestral strings, piano/keyboard, guitar, voice and drum set. I specialize in teaching performing skills in jazz and contemporary music which allows many of my students to eventually perform professionally.
Teaching Style:
In my lessons I emphasize both technical skill and musical creativity. I use the Russian Method to instill my students with good technique and tone and I make sure that my students are confident on their scales and etudes. I try to chose pieces for my students that encourage artistic expression and I aim to help my students develop their own musical creativity.
Musical Experience:
I teach and perform on the violin, viola, and cello. I was a principal in the Gwinnett County Youth Symphony Orchestra, assistant principal in the Kendall Youth Symphony Orchestra, and an assistant principal in the Emory Youth Symphony Orchestra. Currently I play violin in the Georgia State University Orchestra, perform composer's new works in the Atlanta area, play violin in contemporary worship bands, and I am also a sectional coach for Couch Middle School. I am completing my Bachelors degree in Music Education at Georgia State University and I hope to soon teach orchestra in the public school system.
Education Experience: University of North Carolina School of the Arts (Viola Performance Certification), Berklee College of Music (undergraduate studies, scholarship student), University of Virginia (BA in Music, scholarship student), Belmont University (graduate studies, TA and scholarship student), Suzuki Training (Every Child Can, Violin Book 1)
Performance Experience: Ms. C. has performed extensively since turning pro at the age of 15. Her performance experience includes studio, orchestral, and chamber music; she's performed and studied with artists such as Roy "Futureman" Wooten (drummer for Bela Fleck and The Flecktones), Tracy Silverman (Grammy-winner, Turtle Island String Quartet, Eclectica), Jean-Luc Ponty (Grammy nominee, Chick Corea), and Matt Glaser (Ken Burns' The Civil War).
Education Experience: With well over a decade spent as a full time music teacher, performer, and music business entrepreneur in cities such as Boston, New York, and Nashville, Ms. C. has developed a teaching style that mixes classical, jazz, modern, and popular music to build a program tailored to each student. She specializes in beginners of all ages and believes that music studies should encompass all genres, with an emphasis on building classical music fundamentals and developing a unique personal style.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."

Stakeholders discuss problems associated with the teaching of literature at a three-day creative writing workshop held in Warri, Delta State, writes CHUX OHAI
For three days, a group of pupils selected from 10 secondary schools within Warri and its environs participated in a Youth Empowerment and Creative Writing Workshop led by award-winning poet, Dr. Ogaga Ifowodo, who teaches poetry and literature at the Texas State University, San Marcos in the United States.
The workshop was supported by the International Institute of Education, in collaboration with the State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education. Its goal was to boost the teaching and learning of literature among secondary school pupils in the state.
Selection was done through rigorous writing and composition tests. In the end, 18 pupils – two from each school – were chosen to participate in the workshop. Two female pupils of Oghio Secondary School in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State, Hajarah Aboki and Ofega Ohwedor were among the chosen ones.
For both girls, the workshop provided an opportunity to upgrade their knowledge of the English Language and, more important, one of their favourite subjects, Literature in English.
Apart from being excited at the prospect of learning the rudiments of creative writing at the workshop, Hajarah and Ofega shared the same burning ambition.
"We want to become writers," they declared, in an interview with our correspondent.
But there was a snag – a real obstacle that stood between them and the fulfilment of their shared dream. Hajarah was the first to open up on this problem.
She said, "We are both in SS2, but we don't have English and Literature teachers in our school. The last time we had lessons in both subjects was two years ago. We were in JSS2 at the time."
That was not all. The pupil said her class also lacked Mathematics and Chemistry teachers. Her own father had been trying to fill the yawning gap by giving her lessons in English, Literature, Mathematics and Chemistry – at home.
On the other hand, Ofega said that each time she moved to the next class, she would seek a solution to the problem from the vice principal of their school.
"Each time I went to him, he gave me the scheme of work for those subjects. Then I would buy the recommended text books and collect notes from my friends in neighbouring schools, especially from those in Ogbe-Udu Secondary School," she said.
The principal of Oghio Secondary School, Mrs. Florence Ojomo, confirmed that the school lacked enough teachers to handle the core subjects.
She said, "With the recent distribution of teachers in public schools in Delta State, a lot of transfers were made. In my school, about 80 per cent of the teachers were transferred. I can tell you now that as it is I don't have enough teachers to teach English, Mathematics and Literature in English.
"I have made several representations to my employers in Asaba and I have involved my community leaders, who in turn appealed to the authorities in the state capital. The latter have promised that teachers will be sent to my school. So we are waiting for government to fulfil its promise."
Beyond this development, the writing workshop exposed other problems afflicting the school system in Delta State. Most of these problems were highlighted during a roundtable attended by Ifowodo and some teachers from the selected schools.
Many of the teachers complained about their pupils' poor attitude to the teaching and learning of English and literature in the classroom. They attributed this to lack of motivation and poor foundation at the primary school level.
One of them, Mrs. Temile Adesua, who teaches at Hussey Model College in Warri, said, "My pupils don't have Literature textbooks. They are not even prepared to buy. Apart from that, they speak Pidgin English all the time. I think this has eaten deep into them."
Another teacher, Ms Rita Agonadi of Urhobo College said she was having a very tough time teaching English Language to some pupils in Junior secondary school who could not tell one alphabet from another.
As the workshop progressed, the participants were engaged in dramatised reading of selected literature texts. The exercise tasked their reading skills, as well as individual grasp of the English vocabulary and comprehension.
Then they were split into four groups of five pupils each and instructed to write short stories about memorable events or incidents that they had experienced in the past.
In an interview with our correspondent, Ifowodo expressed deep concern over the use of English among secondary school pupils. He said, "I don't want to sound too pessimistic or angry, but I have to say that we are in very dire straits on this question of use of English, whether spoken or written. My experience shows that some pupils are literally translating from Pidgin English or the mother tongue, which are even then poorly spoken and understood. On the other hand, they don't have a good grasp of the basic fundamentals of the English language."

Meet the people who get the best seat at the Air Races. For the past several decades the Sweeney family has been judging on what is called, the pylon.
"We have three generations of my family out here and I've been doing this over 30 years," says David Sweeney.
Here's how it works . . . a tall pole marks the boundaries of where the planes can lap.
"We insure the planes are above and outside the pylon each time they go around," Sweeney says.
When the planes lap, depending on the model (or class), they can reach speeds of more than 500 miles per hour.
And when you're only what seems like a few feet away from the birds . . .it can be an amazing experience.
"It's overwhelming and especially for the people who are fortunate to come to the pylon," says pylon coordinator John Manfredi.
Those people being the judges, coordinators, and professional photographers from all over the world.
It's a front row seat no one complains about.
Says one: "This is a good place to be no doubt."
If you haven't checked out this year's Air races, you still have the chance. Just head out to the Reno-Stead Airport tomorrow.

Denali Bioblitz, June 26-29, 2014
Denali National Park and Preserve will be hosting a multi-day bioblitz focused on arthropods from July 26-29, 2014. On Saturday (July 26th), scientists will lead citizen science survey activities in the front-country (i.e., in areas accessible by trails near the park entrance), including demonstrations of collecting techniques, and viewing and discussion of specimens at the park visitor center. The following three days (July 27-29) will be based at the MSLC Field Camp near Teklanika Campground at mile 29 on the park road (with accommodations in tent cabins). This will provide opportunities for a limited number of scientists, students, and other registered participants to collect arthropods in less accessible areas of the park.
Please contact Jessica Rykken at email@example.com if you are interested in participating in the bioblitz as a scientist, student, or other interested entomologist!
2013 Forest Health Conditions Report
The text below was taken verbatim from the Forest Service's Region 10 (Alaska Region) website at http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/r10/forest-grasslandhealth/. The report is available at http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3797075.pdf.
The 2013 Forest Health Conditions Report is available! This report reviews our current knowledge of forest health in Alaska. Its purpose is to help resource professionals, land managers, and other decision makers identify and monitor existing and potential forest health risks and hazards. The report is based on data collected in annual aerial detection surveys, ground surveys, permanent plot monitoring efforts, follow-ups to public requests, and input, and early detection work. Emphasis is given to damaging agents observed in 2013. Readers need to be mindful that this is not a complete survey of the 127 million forested acres in Alaska. The report is organized around the status of four categories of damaging agents: insect pests, diseases, noninfectious disorders, and invasive plants.
Fairbanks Daily News-Miner: Lessons from Alaska butterfly expert Kenelm Philip will live on
Alaska Dispatch: Alaska's leading expert on butterflies, Ken Philip leaves legacy for Smithsonian
In Memorial: Kenelm W. Philip
Kenelm W. Philip, 82, Fairbanks Alaska, passed away in his home on March 13, 2014.
Ken moved to Fairbanks in 1965 and established the Alaska Lepidoptera Survey. Over the years, Ken managed over 600 volunteer collectors and amassed roughly 80,000 specimens, the second largest arctic/boreal collection of butterflies in the world (second only to the Canadian National Collection).
Ken was an avid photographer, reader, and loved classical music. He was always helpful and happy to invite visitors into his home to see the butterfly collection.
He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Defining Clepsis penetralis Razowski (Tortricidae) using morphology and molecules: a widespread but overlooked North American species
In this article appearing in the current issue of the Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society, the authors used morphology and molecular data to investigate the relationship of two morphologically similar species (Clepsis penetralis and C. peritana), finding strong support for recognizing these as two distinct species.

Andy Murray may be out of Wimbledon but if you're still planning a little gathering to celebrate the finals this weekend then be inspired by these cute little lemon cake pops. They've been devised exclusively for Grazia Daily by Lady Bunny from Bunny Little's Bakery, mistress of cakes with a catwalk twist, and we think they'd be perfect with a glass of fizz in the garden if the weather stays fine this weekend. Scroll below for how to make them.
125g soft butter
125g caster sugar
2 eggs
125g self-raising flour
Zest of 1 lemon
Ingredients for the Icing:
250g White Chocolate - melted
Yellow colouring (enough to colour the mixture to your liking)
Cake pop mould (the mould Lady Bunny used makes 15 cake pops)
Lolly pop sticks
Polystyrene block
For the Cake Pops:
1. Cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, then add the lemon zest
2. Slowly add the eggs, whisking the mixture well between each one
3. Gently fold the flour into the mixture
4. Fill one half of the cake pop mould with batter, place the other half on top, bake at 180*C for 10 minutes.
5. Set aside and allow to cool completely
For the Icing:
1. Carefully peel off the top half of the Cake pop mould, gently remove the cakes from the bottom half of the mould.
2. Dip the end of the lolly pop stick into the melted white chocolate and insert into the cake pop. Then place in the fridge to set
3. Meanwhile, separate some of the white chocolate and colour with the yellow colouring by mixing together
4. Remove the cake pops from the fridge and dip in the yellow chocolate, tap gently to remove excess and stand in a polystyrene block to dry
5. Once the chocolate has set, use the rest of the white chocolate to pipe the tennis ball lines onto the pops and voila! These winning tennis treats are ready for you and your friends to share the love and support for Wimbledon's finest this year.
Bunny Little's Bakery, 9 Campdale Road, Tufnell Park, London N7 0EA. Open: Monday to Saturday 7:30am-5:30pm, Sunday 8am-5:30pm.
