Just 6!? That's early. o_o Did it catch a deadly disease or something?
Can't say exactly, he suddenly started to meow really loud then have difficulty to breath and couldn't move anymore while shaking a lot then 3 minutes later he was dead and lots of blood came out of his mouth. It was rather fast but felt really painful. ;.;

Oh man, that sounds pretty terrible…That would have affected me for a long time if my cat died in such a way…I'm sorry for your loss, I love cats. (,_,) But didn't you get a veterinary pathologist to have a look at him after he was dead to find out what he died from? I would have wondered if my cat had died in such a way.
No I didn't, I preferred for him that he rests in peace rather than having him butchered just to satisfy my curiosity.

Members of the City Council have introduced legislation to improve infrastructure across the five boroughs, in hopes of protecting against damage from future storms.
The package of bills suggests installing higher floors in new buildings located in flood- prone areas.
It will also require boilers and other equipment to be installed in areas not prone to flooding.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency is expected to produce new maps that could expand the areas officially deemed to be flood-prone.
"With current maps clearly out of date, the creation of new maps will expand the areas that must adhere to floodproofing requirements. That's really important, to make sure we're floodproofing as much of the city as we should, and two, to get in New Yorkers' minds how much more of the city is now flood-vulnerable, so they know that in the future," said City Council Speaker Christine Quinn.
Another proposal would study burying more power lines, away from strong winds and trees.
The council will hold a series of hearings in January and February to assess the city's storm planning, management and recovery efforts.

Most digital SLR point and shoot cameras support the Micro Four Thirds system that allows these cameras to use mirrorless interchangeable lenses. This is where the flexibility comes in because the depth of field is much better over compact digital cameras while the overall size is considerably smaller compared to DSLR models. While these Micro Four Thirds lenses should work just fine with any digital SLR point and shoot camera, some models may have a greater variety of dedicated lenses. Check out the product page of a specific camera and see the set of lenses that it is compatible with.
If you're looking for the best digital camera available in the market, this has got to be customized to what you really want to take pictures of. There are details that you have to note if you're looking for something like a SLR camera. For one, you have to know your budget. Buying the camera itself is one thing. The accessories and lenses that may come with are another story altogether. Having the best digital camera of your own is like buying the best house in town; it's about anything and everything.

You can also expunge your record if you entered into a pre-trial or post-trial diversion plea agreement. However, you can only apply to get your record expunged once you fully complete the requirements of your diversion. Unlike expungement for a dismissal, where at most you might owe some court costs, there is a court fee to get your charge expunged after completing diversion. Even after pleading guilty pursuant to a diversion agreement, criminal charges or convictions can harm you in the future if not fully expunged. A partial expungement can be the same as having nothing expunged at all.

A month later, he phoned me and suggested a meeting. I agreed, but I knew that there must have been a reason, as one month was a short time interval between our meetings. We usually meet after much longer intervals. visit the next web page time we met at his home. He made me tea and then, for about half an hour, he kept asking me whether we were really alone at the time he gave me his watch. He looked anxious, or even frightened.

From many years, closed circuit television video surveillance and security systems were the single choice for video surveillance of your business or home. Very firstly, the pictures from analog cameras were transferred by cables to a monitor to see or a quad. With the advent of Video Cassette Recorder, you were ultimately capable to record the video to a VHS tape for upcoming future viewing. But, in case you had to really search an example of needing the video for law violation, it needed watching, or fast forwarding by hours of video. Hall, J. (2007). Accounting information systems.

So who exactly is the customer that the TA-1 ultrathin is aimed at? Certainly, it really won't do as anyone's sole video camera. It can certainly be something for video fanatics to carry around, to shoot in high quality at a moment' notice. Still, anyone who has an iPhone or a Blackberry might find that the TA-1 is just one additional item to carry around. As such, it doesn't really seem to offer any compelling features other than HD recording. To those who really care about it, the TA-1 could really be a good idea.
Despite the fact the Sony can't do much in the high-end domain, they present us with a respectable small entry-level offering. It has a bright 3.5" display that looks nice enough and its small size makes it comfortable to hold and operate. This device is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor, which is a rarity in this price-range, supported by 512MB of RAM. It has a standard 5MP shooter, but only 4GB of internal memory and worst of all, no memory expansion options. Its performance is relatively stable and this phone provides a good value for money.

If you're looking for a device that the whole family can use, spending a little more on the Kindle Fire HDX or iPad mini makes a lot of sense. If you've already got a tablet for yourself and you're looking for one just for your kids, those price points might be a bit steep. Younger kids will love learning on the LeapPad 2 or Tabeo e2, while older kids will feel more grown-up with tablets like the LeapPad Ultra or Kurio 10. All of these tablets are wonderful – just make sure you match the features and benefits to the intended user and you can't go wrong. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX9

According to officials, around 6:45 p.m. on Sunday, July 6, flames at the Maison de Ville apartments quickly spread into a two alarm fire.
According to Public Information Officer, Steve Huffman, the fire was started by a grill on one of the apartment's patios.
No one in the apartment complex was injured, but Huffman said one firefighter was taken to the hospital for overheating and will fully recover.
Video was sent in by FOX10 viewer Alicia Williamson Garcia.
Garcia says she was passing through the area and caught the flames licking the side of the building.
Residents and bystanders from surrounding buildings evacuated, and lined the streets Sunday night to watch as Firefighters battled the blaze.
Firefighters used the ladder truck to suppress the flames, and cut a trench in the roof to prevent the fire from moving to other apartments. Only one apartment was damaged by the flames but a total of eight apartments were damaged by smoke or water. Huffman said they estimate over 90 thousand dollars in damage.

Elijah Wood Talks GRAND PIANO, COOTIES, THE BOY, CURSE THE DARKNESS and More
by Haleigh Foutch Posted 290 days ago
Now available on VOD and coming to theaters this weekend is Eugenio Mira's ambitious, highly stylized thriller Grand Piano. The films centers on Tom Selznick (Elijah Wood), a brilliant pianist making his highly publicized return to the stage after flubbing a major concert years prior. He learns the true meaning of stage fright when he discovers a note from a calculating sniper (John Cusack) scrawled in his sheet music – "Play one wrong note and you die." Captive in a packed theater with nowhere to run, Selznick must either figure out how to beat the sniper at his own game or die trying.
Earlier this week I spoke with Elijah Wood in an exclusive phone interview. He talked about why he was attracted to Grand Piano and the technical challenges of shooting the film. He also talked about his production company SpectreVision, premiering Cooties and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night at Sundance this year, the fantastic poster Jay Shaw designed for Cooties, his hopes for the serial killer trilogy The Boy, developing the zombie film Curse the Darkness with director Jorge Michel Grau, and more. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Simon Phillips/drums
Simon Phillips is by far one of the world's most renowned and respected drummers, whose style not only reflects his technical gift but also his distinct musical sensibility. Whether it is Rock, Fusion or Jazz, Simon applies the same precision and intensity to his drumming, which is never lacking in emotion and feel.
Phillips found an early prominence as the drummer on the 1976 LP 801 Live with Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno. He went on to play with a wide array of musicians including Big Jim Sullivan, Pete Townshend, Big Country, Toto, Steve Lukather, Jeff Beck, Whitesnake, Jack Bruce, Brian Eno, Mike Oldfield, Jon Anderson, 10cc, Mick Jagger, Joe Satriani, Phil Manzanera, Asia, Stanley Clarke, Jimmy Earl, Nik Kershaw and Gordon Giltrap. He was the drummer for The Who in their 1989 American reunion tour, and appeared on solo recordings by band members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend. He has also worked with Tears For Fears, with heavy metal act Judas Priest on Sin After Sin (1977) and Michael Schenker's debut album The Michael Schenker Group. Among other co-producer credits, he also co-produced and mixed two albums by Mike Oldfield.
In 1992, Phillips was asked to fill in for Jeff. Steve Lukather stated that he would only go on tour so shortly after Porcaro died if Toto could get Phillips to play the tour, so he was the first and only drummer that the band contacted to replace Porcaro. After the 1992/93 tour Phillips was asked to join Toto as a permanent member.
In 2009, Phillips joined with keyboardist Philippe Saisse and bassist Pino Palladino in forming an instrumental jazz/funk rock trio: Phillips Saisse Palladino or PSP. As well as touring with his own Protocol II, Simon also currently tours with Hiromi and Toto.

AirTalk for July 10, 2013
With filibusters, rules and polarization, is the American Senate a broken system?
"The American Senate: An Insider's History" by Neil MacNeil and Senate historian Richard Baker
Who holds the record for the longest filibuster? Which Senator won a seat with only $147 in expenditures? Which Senator almost beat a man to death with a cane on the Senate floor? Sometimes it seems like the Senate makes headlines for its antics than its legislation, but according to Senate historian Richard A. Baker, the Senate is so much more than fodder for trivia questions. Baker was appointed the Senate's first official historian and served from 1975 to 2009.
In his new book co-authored with the late Neil MacNeil, "The American Senate: An Insider's History;" Baker details how the Senate has changed over time. On one hand, Baker thinks it's a very different Senate than what the framers of the Constitution had in mind. However, on the other hand, the Senate has maintained its purpose for being a place of "sober, second thought."
Is the Senate too slow in passing legislation? Is it the consequence of a polarized electorate? What's the history of the filibuster? What needs to change in the Senate? Richard Baker joins AirTalk to discuss the history of the Senate, his own frustrations with Senate rules and, of course, answer those trivia questions.
Richard A. Baker, co-author of "The American Senate: An Insider's History;" appointed official Senate historian from 1975-2009

Glennallen, Alaska – The Nelchina caribou winter hunts in Game Management Unit 13 (CC001, RC566, and DC480-483) will open on October 21, with a winter quota of 600 caribou (300 bulls and 300 cows). The new quota represents an increase in the number of bulls that can be taken under the state's hunting season..
The decision to increase in the bull quota was based on a survey conducted last week, which found that the herd was still above the objective for bulls after the fall hunting season closed and a large proportion of calves had survived to the fall..

Soldotna, Alaska - Spring hunting for brown bears on the Kenai Peninsula is in full swing and with regulations now allowing brown bears to be taken at registered black bear bait stations on lands outside the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, opportunities for success should be good. Before stepping into the field, however, hunters should review regulations and recent brown bear management decisions that could affect hunting plans.
To promote conservation of Kenai Peninsula brown bears, hunters are encouraged to take mature boars. In March after considerable discussion, the department announced that the Kenai Peninsula (Game Management Units 7 and 15) brown bear management goal is to ensure that human-caused mortality of adult sows does not exceed 17...

And if there were any questions as to her commitment to the Second Amendment, well, let's just say that tonight's address put any concerns to rest.

Anchorage, Alaska- They do things different up in Alaska.
Some days are saturated with sunshine while others are nothing but night. The only thing that you can count on, besides the people, is the cold. But that doesn't mean you shut things down.

Department of Fish and Game staff conducted a predator control program May 13-27 in Game management Unit 19A designed to increase the number of moose and the harvest of moose in the unit. The program was approved by the Board of Game at the request of local hunters concerned about low moose numbers. It is scheduled to be conducted in 2013 and 2014.
ADF&G Staff members removed a total of 89 bears (84 black bears and 5 grizzlies) in a 530 square mile "Bear Control Focus Area" within Game Management Unit 19A which encompasses nearly 10,000 square miles east of Aniak in western interior Alaska. The Bear Control Focus Area is located south of the Kuskokwim River in what formerly was the best moose hunting area in the Unit.
"Our objective was to reduce black and grizzly bear numbers to as low a level as possible within the Bear Control Focus Area," said Regional Management Coordinator Roy Nowlin.

Sophia Antipolis, 11 January 2011: With its spotlight theme of 'Controversial Issues in Cardiology', the 2011 edition of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress promises lively discussions and ground-breaking debate. The ESC Congress is well established as the world's premier cardiovascular conference and regularly attracts around 30,000 international cardiologists and members of related professions through its doors. It will be held this year in Paris, at Parc des Expositions, Paris Nord Villepinte between 27 and 31 August.
"We chose the spotlight theme in order to clarify conflicting views across several aspects of cardiovascular medicine," explains Professor Michael Böhm, the newly appointed Chairman of ESC's Congress Programme Committee. "There are, inevitably, differing opinions within our profession on certain topics, and these occur anywhere from basic science and research to the most complex interventional procedures. We want the ESC Congress to be the platform where we can have a constructive debate on the issues based on evidence and experience."
A series of dedicated sessions is planned to address each of the controversial issues. The format will be for highly qualified experts to present the case for and against, with participation from the floor to probe deeper into the detailed arguments. Professor Böhm, who is also Head of Cardiology at the University Hospital, Saarland, has high hopes for a positive outcome, "We expect to achieve consensus on several issues and, for the others, to at least agree the need for better evidence or identify those circumstances in which individual decisions are correct."
The ESC Congress enjoys an international reputation for its world-class programme of scientific sessions, workshops and presentations, and related exhibition of medical equipment, treatments and services. Experts from the global cardiology community, including care professionals and nurse specialists, are invited to submit abstracts of the work they would like to share with colleagues at one of the sessions or workshops. These typically address the main topics of cardiology such as heart failure and coronary artery disease, and also cover the cardiology life-cycle from fundamental research to prevention strategies. In total, around 4,000 abstracts will be selected from over 10,000 submitted, and will be presented either in oral abstract or poster sessions.
ESC Congress 2011 also sees a growing role for the ESC's Cardiologists of Tomorrow programme. This group represents both cardiologists-in-training and certified cardiologists, and it was formed to encourage greater participation by these future leaders of the profession.
With strong support from the ESC President, Professor Michel Komajda, it has been agreed to establish sessions of specific interest to young cardiologists. These cover such topics as interpreting clinical trial results, applying for and managing EU research grants, how to submit abstracts to the Congress, and writing articles for the European Heart Journal. In addition, one of the spotlight sessions - Controversy in Post-Graduate Cardiology - will be jointly chaired by a member of the Cardiologists of Tomorrow group, while a further special session covering challenging clinical cases is scheduled to be also chaired by a young cardiologist.
Dr Stéphane Zuily is a specialist in vascular medicine at Nancy University Hospital in France, and a member of the nucleus committee of the ESC Cardiologists of Tomorrow programme. "We are excited by this opportunity to raise the profile of young cardiologists," he says. "Together with my nucleus colleagues, we have planned a wide range of activities at Congress to increase the contribution we make and to facilitate improved training, education and networking."
The European Society of Cardiology is looking forward to returning its Congress to the city of Paris after 30 years, with a radically higher number of delegates compared to 1980. The event will welcome delegates from around the world, and from all medical disciplines including scientists, researchers, practitioners, academics, epidemiologists, nurses and technicians, along with representatives of the healthcare industry and influential policy makers. Professor Böhm concludes, "Improving the quality of care of cardiovascular patients is one of mankind's biggest challenges, and is the guiding mission of the ESC. The outcomes from ESC Congress 2011 in Paris will move us closer to that goal."

Sustainability has Chilled the Electric Bills at CowellNew Air Conditioning uses Half the Energy of the Previous Component
Many improvements made at University of the Pacific's Stockton campus to increase energy efficiency and sustainability are evident to the naked eye. Others require closer inspection. Projects that have made the campus less taxing on the environment and are readily evident include the installation of solar panels on the John T. Chamber's Technology Center, the installation of energy-efficient lights in the Quad and other areas of campus, and more robust recycling and composting efforts.
But not all of these changes are apparent. Some have to be felt.
Case in point: the replacement chiller on the air conditioning system in the Cowell Wellness Center uses less than half the energy than that of a conventional cooling unit. In fact, it uses so little energy campus officials estimate it will save as much as $150,000 in cooling costs over the next two decades.
The effort to reduce energy costs for an existing building happened thanks to a unique collaboration between employees at Pacific's Physical Plant and a professor and three students in the School of Engineering and Computer Science.
"The Cowell project took us about two semesters to complete, because it required a lot of modeling and studies of the building," said Jay Brink '13, an electrical engineering major, who worked last school year with Steve Brown '13 and Michael Roberts '13. The trio was supervised by Professor Cherian Mathews.
"We had to create a thermodynamic model of the Cowell building so we could figure out sources of heat and how long those sources produced heat," Brink said. "For example, we calculated how long lights would be on in the building during different times of year. We took into account body heat, looked at the size and location of windows and calculated the intensity of daylight through the windows throughout the years. Using that model, we calculated how much cooling will be needed at any time during the year."
The impetus for the project was the need to replace the "chiller" on the building, a 43-year-old piece of machinery that cools water in the air conditioner. The cooled water flows through metal pipes in the building, causing a chilling effect, and air is blown over those pipes, which produces the air conditioning effect often appreciated during the 100-plus during summer days.
The new chiller uses 52.4 percent less power than the old chiller. That will result in about $8,600 less in electrical costs annually, according to a report completed by Professor Mathews and the students. The replacement project was designed, engineered and completed entirely by Physical Plant personnel.

Esty tours job training program
Support sought for building workforce
TORRINGTON — Rep. Elizabeth H. Esty, D-5th District, on Friday got an up-close look at students preparing for jobs of the future with a tour of Oliver Wolcott Technical High School.
"The modern face of manufacturing is really quite different, and it's important that families and young people see the exciting things happening in Connecticut," Esty said while standing in the school's Manufacturing Technology shop. "We have 5,000 manufacturers in Connecticut, and a lot of them are doing cutting-edge work and exporting around the world."

Racial Equality Proposal
|The neutrality of this article is disputed. (December 2013)
The Racial Equality Proposal was a proposal put forward at the Paris Peace Conference by the Empire of Japan.
The proposal[edit]
After the end of seclusion, Japan suffered unequal treaties and demanded equal status with the Powers. In this context, the Japanese delegation to the Paris peace conference proposed the "racial equality clause" in the Covenant of the League of Nations. The first draft was presented to the League of Nations Commission on 13 February as an amendment to Article 21:
The equality of nations being a basic principle of the League of Nations, the High Contracting Parties agree to accord as soon as possible to all alien nationals of states, members of the League, equal and just treatment in every respect making no distinction, either in law or in fact, on account of their race or nationality.
The Japanese delegation did not realize the full ramifications of their proposal, since its adoption would have challenged aspects of the established norms of the (Western dominated) international system of the day, which involved the colonial rule over non-white peoples. The Japanese delegation believed it was asking only that the League of Nations should accept the equality of Japanese nationals; however, a universalist meaning and implication of the proposal became attached to it within the delegation, which drove its contentiousness at the conference.[1]
Australian Prime Minister Billy Hughes clarified his opposition and announced at a meeting that
ninety-five out of one hundred Australians rejected the very idea of equality.[2]
Then, Makino Nobuaki announced at a press conference.
We are not too proud to fight but we are too proud to accept a place of admitted inferiority in dealing with one or more of the associated nations. We want nothing but simple justice.[3]
The proposal was also problematic for U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, who knew he was dependent on pro-segregation Southern Democrats if he was to have any hope of getting the two-thirds majority needed to ratify the final treaty in the United States Senate. The presence of such strong opposition from the British Empire delegations was undoubtedly a relief to Wilson as it gave him a pretext to scupper the proposal.
April 11[edit]
On April 11, 1919, the commission held a final session.[4] Makino stated the Japanese plea for human rights and racial equality.[5] British representative Robert Cecil spoke for the British Empire and addressed opposition to the proposal.[6] Italian Prime Minister Vittorio Orlando spoke in favor of the statement on Human rights.[7] French Senator Léon Bourgeois urged adoption and stated that it would be impossible to reject this proposal that embodied "an indisputable principle of justice".[8]
The proposal received a majority vote on the day.[4] 11 of the 17 delegates present voted in favor of its amendment to the charter, and no negative vote was taken. The votes for the amendment tallied thus:
- Japan (2) Yes
- France (2) Yes
- Italy (2) Yes
- Brazil (1) Yes
- Republic of China (1) Yes
- Greece (1) Yes
- Serbia (1) Yes
- Czechoslovakia (1) Yes
Total: 11 Yes
- British Empire (2) - Not Registered
- United States (2) - Not Registered
- Portugal (1) - Not Registered
- Romania (1) - Not Registered
- Belgium (2) - Absent[9]
The chairman, President Wilson, overturned it, saying that although the proposal had been approved by a clear majority, that in this particular matter, strong opposition had manifested itself, and that on this issue a unanimous vote would be required. This strong opposition came from the British delegation.[10] French Delegate Ferdinand Larnaude immediately stated "A majority had voted for the amendment".[11] The Japanese delegation wanted the transcript to show that a clear majority had been voted for the amendment to the Charter.[11]
Though the proposal itself was compatible with British stance of equality for all subjects as a principle for maintaining imperial unity, there were significant deviations in the stated interests of its Dominions, notably Australia. As it risked undermining the White Australia Policy, then Prime Minister of Australia Billy Hughes and Joseph Cook vigorously opposed the proposal behind the scenes, and so advocated against it through the British delegation. Without the support of its Dominions, the British delegation could not take such a stand on principle. According to Cecil, the delegate representing the British Empire at the Conference, in his diary
...it is curious how all the foreigners perpetually harp on principle and right and other abstractions, whereas the Americans and still more the British are only considering what will give the best chance to the League of working properly.[12]
In the end, Cecil felt that British support for the League of Nations was a more crucial goal. The Japanese media fully covered the progress of the conference, leading to an alienation of Japanese public opinion towards the United States of America, leading to broader conflicts later on. In the United States, racial riots occurred by the American deliberate inaction.[13] Although the exclusion of the racial equality proposal allowed Wilson to keep Southern Democratic allies on his side, this proved insufficient to get the treaty ratified by the United States Senate, the United States never joined the League of Nations. The mood of the international system changed dramatically by 1945, so that this contentious point of racial equality would be incorporated into the United Nations Charter in 1945 as the fundamental principle of international justice.
As such, some historians consider that this point could be listed among the many causes of conflict and which led to Japan(ese) actions later on. They argue that the rejection of the racial equality clause proved to be an important factor in turning Japan away from cooperation with the West and toward nationalistic policies.[14] In 1923, the Anglo-Japanese Alliance expired, which gradually resulted in a closer relationship of Japan to Germany and Italy. However Prussian militarism was already entrenched in the Imperial Japanese Army, many members of the Army had expected Germany to win the war and Germany had approached Japan for a separate peace in 1916. The rapprochement towards Germany did not occur until the mid-1930s, a time when Germany had greater ties with Nationalist China.
After the Nazis gained power, Japan decided to not expel Jewish refugees from China, Manchuria and Japan [15][16] and advocated the political slogan Hakkō ichiu.
Japanese motives[edit]
The Japanese wished that they themselves were to be treated equally as a nation and be considered a great power. They were more interested in ensuring that Japan, as a sovereign nation and member of the league, be granted the same privileges as Western nations, including the right to overseas colonies.[citation needed]
Japan's colonial rule was unjustly based on the basis that the Koreans and Taiwanese were inferior races needing the guidance of a "superior race" to bring about "civilization and enlightenment" of their country.[17][18][19] In 1919, in the year of the Paris Peace Conference the Japanese military brutally suppressed the March 1st Movement which was a Korean nationalist uprising responding to discrimination and oppression by the Japanese. The Japanese never extended equal rights, legal or political, to their colonial subjects.[20]
During the Pacific War, Japanese propaganda included phrases like "Asia for the Asians!" and emphasized the perceived need to "liberate" Asian countries from imperialist powers.[21] In a number of cases people welcomed Japanese troops as liberators, and helped drive out British, French and other colonial powers from their former Asian colonies to form a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. However, the Japanese exploited these colonial sentiments for their own economic and political benefit.[22] They manipulated concepts such as Hakkō ichiu (of supposed racial harmony) and support for the proposal in order to portray Japan as a leader and liberator against western imperialism. However, the subsequent brutality and racism of the Japanese led to people of the occupied areas regarding the new Asian imperialists as much worse than the Western imperialists.[21] In 1943 the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare's Population Problems Research Center created a report titled An Investigation of Global Policy with the Yamato Race as Nucleus.

Vancouver Mini Maker Faire Art Bike ProjectMike Zeitz has spearheaded the first ever Vancouver Mini Maker Faire art bike project, where he is recruiting Makers to start decorating, building and creating custom bicycles – of all shapes and sizes. So far he's managed to wrangle bicycle fabricators, sign decorators, and has found a pile of bicycle parts for pillaging. His overall goal is to learn how to make bicycles from old parts, meet friends, engage with Vancouver's cycling community, and help promote Vancouver Mini Maker Faire. facebook.com/ArtBikeProject
Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth – a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It's a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, artists, science clubs, students, authors, and commercial exhibitors. They are of all ages and backgrounds. Maker Faire's mission is to entertain, inform, connect, and inspire these thousands of Makers and aspiring Makers.
The inaugural Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2011 celebrated its sixth annual Bay Area event with some 100,000 people in attendance. As Maker Faire has grown in popularity and relevance, additional flagship faires were launched in 2010 in Detroit and New York City. Community-driven, independently produced Mini Maker Faire events inspired by Maker Faire are now being produced around the United States and the world, including the Vancouver Mini Maker Faire.
To promote the faire, Mike Zeitz has been assembling and decorating tall bikes as part of the Vancouver Mini Maker Faire art bike project. Leading up to the faire you can expect to see these ornate creations riding around town.
View a slideshow of bicycle-related makers in attendence for 2012.
About Vancouver Mini Maker Faire:
When: June 23-24, 2012
Where: Pacific National Exhibition forum building accessible from Hastings and Renfrew
Vancouver Mini Maker Faire was founded by the combined skillset of local Makers from Vancouver Hack Space (VHS), and supported by eatART and the Vancouver Community Lab. In the inaugural year, there were close to 3,000 attendees, and nearly 100 Makers.
Building on the succes of 2011, organizers have founded Maker Foundation, a non-profit society aimed at curating Maker events, and facilitating Maker projects around the city of Vancouver. Vancouver Mini Maker Faire has moved to a bigger venue this year – the PNE Forum.

Grilled cheese rolls and home made tater tots
Tonight I made a kid friendly meal that my husband and I enjoyed immensely. Its not something I make every night but once in a while its nice to indulge.
Who doesn't love a grilled cheese sandwich? I know as a kid we always had a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. My grandma made the best tomato soup, she added milk to hers instead of water, it was so yummy. Or maybe just the fact that grandma made it with love made it all the better.
So this evening my kids wanted grilled cheese with chips and I decided to change it up. I peeled about 4 potatoes and grated them, added about 2 tsp of flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder and fried them in some oil, they have to be crispy on the outside! They turned out awesome!
For the grilled cheese rolls I took out my bread, flattened it down with my hands, cut the crust off and laid a slice of cheese and rolled them. I put them in the frying pan with a little butter until they were golden brown and my kids gobbled them up.
Its been snowing like crazy so it was nice to make something comforting for the kids.
Thanks for reading,
Retro Wifey

Can you do 100 MPG? A company claims they can
However, we can summarize some of their affirmations: They use conventional reciprocating piston engines with ultra-high compression rations with very precise ignition timing and minimizing waste heat. The fuel is injected with these new injectors that are the responsible for the use of so little fuel. Moreover, the injectors can be supplemented with existing technology such as thermal management, EGR, electronic valves and advanced combustion chambers.
The system is not only designed for gas engines and so can be adapted to any other fuel, regardless of octane or cetane ratios.
As always, let's take this with a pinch of salt, but if there's a really a way to improve fuel efficiency at Transonic, this is good news.

So like a dumb dumb I didn't realize today was day game and missed most of the game! West coast road trips screw me all up.
The Yankees lost today but I don't really care because we have won every series so far, I'm not going to cry about one loss. The story of the game however was the Yankees making their first triple play since 1968. Pretty impressive. Is that promotion still going on where you get something free if the Yankees make a triple play? What was that? Shit. Can't remember.
The other story of the game was Dallas Braden flipping out on Alex Rodriguez for running over the pitchers mound at some point. Dallas Braden threw a bitch fit in the dugout as well. When asked after the game about what happened, Braden said "if it happens again there will be repercussions." Are you serious Dallas? You will get bitch slapped like the bitch you acted like today. Alex don't have time for people like you. You are not even on the radar. Don't get cute because you got yourself a win today buddy.
When the media asked A Rod about it, Alex (who was looking very GQ today I must say)just kind of laughed it off. "Such a shame for a guy who has so many wins." "I honestly didn't know what he was talking about and that he was talking to me." Alex is a funny dude. I don't doubt that he ran over the mound, but unless he started kicking the dirt or doing something to screw it up to affect the pitcher I don't see the big deal. Curious to see how this pans out.
On to the next one....
