Kids' T.V. favourite-Australia's "HI-5" is coming to Singapore again!! I missed it the last time, felt that my nieces & nephew were too young at that time(2 & 3 yrs old) to watch e performance. I heard the few performances they had the last time was totally a sold out, hence they're coming back here so not to disappoint their little people ;)
As babies, my nieces and nephew would jump up and down each time when "their songs" come on the "kids central" channel, hehe, they have watched it since the day they were born :)..They can even memorize all their songs and dancing SO WELL and sing for me!! Always a pleasure to hear their tiny voice that sound like chipmunks :D
Now that they are a little older, all about 4 & 5 yrs old, they are so excited to catch their idols..Not going to disappoint them again!
I will be bringing them to watch the show in June instead as I do have to finish up writing my thesis paper which due in 1 week's time..Yippee!!

This article is about the stage musical. For the 1988 animated television adaptation, see Snoopy!!! The Musical (TV special).
Snoopy!!! The Musical is a musical comedy by Larry Grossman and Hal Hackady that was based on the Charles M. Schulz comic strip Peanuts. This sequel to the musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown focuses more on the life of Snoopy. The musical has about ten songs, a few solos for Snoopy ("Daisy Hill") and Charlie Brown ("Where Did That Little Dog Go") as well as a song sung by Linus as he waits for the Great Pumpkin to appear on Halloween. Peppermint Patty also has a song where she expresses her love for Charlie Brown ("Poor Sweet Baby"). The rest of the musical is full of randomly placed scenes that although do not actually have any apparent order (something like the comic strips) are always full of laughs and life lessons on friendship and believing in yourself.
A prime-time animated TV special based on the musical, also called Snoopy!!! The Musical, was aired on the CBS network in 1988.

A number of years ago, Rob "Tyger" Rubin made a thread in the Air Systems forum about checking hydro dates on your tank :HERE
A lot of that information is still good, though some of it has become outdated, and some people just don't understand it.
I have a fairly expanded information write-up on what exactly your tank label means, with various photos for examples: HERE
I also have a number of very useful links in my signature as well; but then there are sometimes where everything is just greek.
If you have any questions regarding your HPA or CO2 Cylinders, such as "is it due? When? Where to get it tested? Who really made it?" , etc. please feel free to ask.

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:17 – NIV) Today, I launch a new clergy collegial blog. I hope we will encourage and empower each other toward success and excellence in pastoral ministry. As I sit in the Pastor's Study at Cambria Heights Community Church, I often ponder the possible feedback of clergy colleagues as it relates to preparing sermons, counseling in particularly difficult situation, designing fresh worship, balancing competing priorities of ministry, marriage and family, maintaining self-care, pursuing personal dreams and private interests outside of ministry and family, and finding resources to meet the ever evolving and changing needs of the people whom I serve. After a sustained period of prayer, reflection and meditation, I realize I can invite you to come "In The Pastor's Study" for an exchange of ideas.

Model of a Pastoral Condolence Letter
3 comments:
This is a terrible letter with no real sympathy its to business like for a member of your church and a person you once knew and cared for.ReplyDelete
I think the concept is excellent. We often forget to do follow-up care after all of the services, meals, hurriedness of the visitations, viewings , funeral, gravesite services are all over. I can make it as loving and caring as I may wish. Thank you for the very thought and example.ReplyDelete
Rev. Brenda J. Gregg
Been browsing for some nice condolence card messages or just any words to uplift and comfort people who are downhearted. I felt happy to have found this inspirational page of yours. These words are very nice. Thanks and keep sharing :)ReplyDelete

Obama Sticks It to Workers Making Less Than $30,000 a Year
Barack Obama sticks it to poor people.
Under the new fiscal cliff plan workers making less than $30,000 a year will take a bigger hit than those making $500,000 a year.
The Daily Mail reported:
Middle-class workers will take a bigger hit to their income proportionately than those earning between $200,000 and $500,000 under the new fiscal cliff deal, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center.
Earners in the latter group will pay an average 1.3 percent more – or an additional $2,711 – in taxes this year, while workers making between $30,000 and $200,000 will see their paychecks shrink by as much as 1.7 percent – or up to $1,784 – the D.C.-based think tank reported.
Overall, nearly 80 percent of households will pay more money to the federal government as a result of the fiscal cliff deal.

Hey, but we all get free condoms like the big one hanging over the heads of those happy doughnut dunkers. Drink your free coffee and shut up about it like a good little worker.+2
When prices at the pump for gasoline decline more than 5 cents, the liberal media is quick to tell everyone it equates to savings, hence a stimulus for all Americans.
What you're not likely to hear is when prices at the pump, at the grocery store, and every where else increase it's called inflation. Inflation is the same as a cost of living increase and has the same result — on 100% of Americans, tax payers or not — as an increased tax.
Yet, the "little people" don't complain about inflation, which is often more than a few percentage increase in tax, mainly because it's considered a stealth tax, and oddly it's the FAIREST tax around because everyone pays the same rate.
Does someone on the government dole complain about what they really lose in pay: inflation? Or do they complain about the money that other people EARNED and then lost through taxes and inflation?
Gee, it would seem the progressive tax code is bullshit.+2
Aren't the people who make less than 30 K a yr. Barry's peeps! Do you think they'll be pissed? Probably not as long as they think they be still getting freebies from the gubmint.+2
It's worth it for the free phone.
And food.
And rent.
And clothes.
And condoms.
And health care.
And there's another tax that effects the poor dis-proportionally, it's called inflation. Obama's War on the Working Poor…+4
Nothing's free. It won't be long till the gov't starts to "comb them out" into the slave labor camps of the giant corporations that backed the Demonrats.
Hitler destroyed the middle class, individual handicrafters, sole proprietors, and the like, and then set up "labor exchanges" headed by party officials who made "labor units" available to the combines. Wages and prices were fixed. All in an effort to "rationalize" that pesky, confusing liberty shit.+4
Good! That's what the Bama voters get… IDIOTS!+1
0bama cares about the poor the same way Stalin did.+2
To heck with the poor people, let's get to the important shit: with the new Tax Deal, will Warren Buffett be paying more tax than his Secretary or not? Inquiring minds want to know!0

Parliamentary Committee Established to Investigate GEC Loan to Nauru28 June 2004
The Nauru Parliament has passed a resolution to establish a Select Committee to look into the background of the GEC Loan facility to Nauru, following Nauru's repayment default in January and the subsequent appointment of receivers to the Australian assets of the Nauru Phosphate Royalties Trust (NPRT).
"The GEC Debt Committee will examine, inquire and report to Parliament the background to the GEC loan, which is estimated at approximately $230 million, all related transactions, the terms of extension of agreement beyond May 2004 and the various refinance proposals and any alternative proposals," said the Committee Chair, the Hon. Fabian Ribauw, MP.
The members of the Committee will comprise the Hon. Dr. Kieren Keke, MP, the Hon. Marcus Stephen, MP, the Hon. Godfrey Thoma, MP, and the Hon Dogabe Jeremiah, MP.
The inquiries of the Committee will not prevent statutory bodies of the Republic of Nauru or the Executive of Nauru from progressing with existing or alternative refinancing options for the GEC Loan to Nauru.
"An important objective of the Committee will be to examine the impact and ramifications, both positive and negative, the loan facility has had on the Republic of Nauru, " Chairman Ribauw said.
The Committee welcomes submissions from interested parties on the matter of the GEC Loan facility to Nauru. Submissions should be directed in writing to the Hon. Chairman or the Hon. Members of the Select Committee at the Committee Secretariat, Parliament House, Republic of Nauru, Central Pacific, before 12 July 2004. Submissions will also be accepted by fax, on +674-444-3187, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Should an interested party wish to appear before the Committee to give oral evidence, the Committee will consider such a request and the party will be informed of the Committee's decision. The Committee shall also give consideration to requests from interested parties that their submission remain confidential.
The GEC Debt Committee will present its report to the Parliament by 14 September 2004.
Members of Nauru Parliament Face Charges
14 May 2004
Nineteen people have been charged under the Nauru Criminal Code and the Air Navigation Act following a demonstration
at the Nauru Airport on April 23, 2004.
In the course of the demonstration, an Air Nauru flight, bound for Australia, was
obstructed from flying out of Nauru. His Excellency the President, the Hon. Rene Harris, MP and the
Minister for Finance, the Hon. Kinza Clodumar, MP, were passengers on the plane that was
Four Parliamentary backbenchers are among the group charged, the Hon. Dr. Kieren Keke, MP, the Hon. David Adeang, MP,
the HOn. Fabian Ribauw, MP, and the Hon. baron Waqa, MP.
The charges, amended on Friday, May 7, include disobedience to statute law,
unlawfully entering the aerodrome; riot; disobedience to lawful order, issued by
statutory authority; sedition; riotous behaviour; disturbing the peace; assaulting police,
and interference with a Minister of Parliament in the course of carrying out his duties.
The Minister of Justice, the Hon. Russel Kun, MP, said, "This is a very serious matter."
The charges will be heard in the Nauru District Court, at a date to be set.
Nauru government Issues Warning to Flotilla of Hope 2004 Crew
13 May 2004
The Government of the Republic of Nauru has issued a formal warning to members of the
Flotilla of Hope 2004 crew that entry into Nauru's territorial waters without a valid visa
will be both illegal and highly dangerous.
The Department of Justice has advised that visas will not be granted to any person,
body or organisation associated with the Flotilla of Hope 2004 voyage, for entry into Nauru.
"The Flotilla of Hope crew should take this warning very seriously, as there are serious
consequences for breaches of Nauru's immigration laws," the Secretary for Justice, Denzil Seneviratne, said.
Under the Nauru Immigration Act of 1999, any person who is not the holder of a valid visa and
who enters Nauru is a prohibited immigrant. The entry into or presence in Nauru of a
prohibited immigrant is unlawful and such persons will be guilty of an offense and liable to a penalty
of a fine, not exceeding $3000, or imprisonment for one year, or both.
The Government of Nauru also wishes to emphasize the considerable dangers faced by anyone
who seeks to visit Nauru by boat.
Nauru is a remote and isolated island. It is surrounded by a dangerous reef and shark-infested waters. Nauru
will be incapable of providing any search and rescue services should the vessels require them,
and medical facilities on Nauru are limited.
Further, it should be noted that the right of innocent passage in the territorial waters of Nauru,
pursuant to Article 25 (3) of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 111, will be
suspended. Consequently, this right will not be afforded to any vessel associated with the Flotilla
of Hope 2004 and the organisation should not seek to rely on it. Vessels entering Nauru's
waters under the captain's command will be impounded and may be sold to cover expenses incurred by the Government of Nauru.
Agreement signed between Australia and Nauru
11 May 2004
The Government of the Republic of Nauru and the Government of Australia today signed an agreement Concerning the Provision of Additional Police and Other Assistance to Nauru.
The agreement, an implementation step under the Memorandum of Understanding between Australia and Nauru, signed in February, will allow for the provision of a Finance Secretary to assist Nauru in working through its current financial problems.
Australia shall also appoint, if necessary, other personnel to work in government departments and agencies of Nauru. Such personnel shall exercise the relevant powers and duties of the position or office they are appointed to.
The terms of the agreement also provide for the appointment of a Police Commissioner to Nauru. While the need for law enforcement support on Nauru is not an essential requirement at this time, Australia may deploy police and other personnel to work in partnership with the Government of Nauru to address core issues in Nauru in the areas of governance, law and order, and justice.
The President of Nauru, His Excellency the Hon. Rene Harris, MP today expressed his sincere gratitude to Australia.
"We are most grateful to the Australian Government for their unfaltering support at this difficult time in Nauru's history. It will enable us to get back on our feet financially and will assist us to address the long-term challenges we currently face," President Harris said.
The agreement shall come into force upon the notification of completion of constitutional formalities by each country and will expire at a time mutually agreed upon by the Australian and Nauru Governments.
Nauru signs Protocol on Economic and Technical Cooperation with the People's Republic of China
18 February 2004
A fish farming project, a community centre, an indoor sports complex and a kindergarten are developments now on the agenda for the Republic of Nauru following the signing of Protocol between the Government of Nauru and the People's Republic of China.
On Monday 16 February, the Government of Nauru and the People's Republic of China jointly concluded three articles of Protocol in friendly consultations, in order to implement the Agreement on Economic and Technical Cooperation.

In expressing his gratitude, His Excellency the President, the Hon. Rene Harris said, "We value our relationship with China and greatly appreciate the terms of the Protocol. They will no doubt be of great benefit to the people of Nauru."

Republic of Nauru and Republic of Iceland Establish Diplomatic Relations
3 March 2004
The Republic of Nauru and the Republic of Iceland have established diplomatic relations at ambassadorial level at the signing of a Joint Communiqué in New York on the 17 February 2004.
With a purpose to promote mutual understanding and to strengthen the friendship and cooperation between the two peoples, the two nations entered the agreement in the presence of Nauru's Ambassador to the United Nations, His Excellency Vinci Clodumar and Iceland's Ambassador to the United Nations, His Excellency Mr Hjŕlmar W. Hannesson.
Speaking in New York, Ambassador Clodumar said, "We wish to extend a warm welcome to the Republic of Iceland and look forward to a close and friendly relationship. Despite the great geographical distance between our two countries, we both have always had a great dependency on the sea and fishing."
Iceland experienced considerable economic growth during the 1990's due mainly to the successful management of their fisheries industry - an industry that is of growing economic significance to Nauru.
"The strength of this relationship will be founded upon a common respect and the very best interests of our respective nations, " Ambassador Clodumar concluded.
The Joint Communiqué was signed in accordance with the provisions of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations established on 18 April 1961.
Nauru calls for responsibility from Australian Government
as hunger strike worsens
7 January 2004
As the hunger strike in Nauru escalates, Nauru's Minister for Finance, Kinza Clodumar, has condemned the Australian Government's inaction and dismissal of its responsibility to asylum seekers.
In a statement yesterday, Kinza Clodumar said comments made by the Australian Minister for Immigration, Amanda Vanstone, that asylum seekers on Nauru who refused to eat, "were not the responsibility of the Australian Government," contravene the M.O.U. Australia made with Nauru regarding its duty of care to asylum seekers.
"The M.O.U. signed when Nauru first accepted asylum seekers, underlines Australia's responsibility to ensure the day-to-day management of asylum seeker facilities including medical treatment and further clarifies that, "health and medical services, personnel, supplies and equipment will be provided by Australia at the facilities. Where medical cases cannot be treated at the facilities, Australia may seek the assistance of Nauru's Health Services".
The Acting Director of Medical Services in Nauru, Dr. Kieren Keke, has reported to the Nauru Government that staff have done everything possible to coordinate the treatment of asylum seekers with the IOM but that services face being overstretched as the situation gets out of control.
According to Dr. Keke, the imminent pressure on Nauru's single hospital facility presented by the 35 hunger striking asylum seekers, represents a 140% rise in occupancy.
Dr. Keke said as "the needs of the hunger strikers begin to impact more on the delivery of healthcare to Nauruans, then we will be left with no other choice but to rethink our approach to providing care to the hunger strikers. This will of course lead to significant negative consequences and...is something I dearly wish to avoid".
The Minister for Finance, Kinza Clodumar, claims that the Australian Government should take a more sympathetic and compassionate approach to the asylum seekers.
"The Australian Government cannot continue to ignore the plight of these forgotten people. It must act now to recognise its M.O.U. with Nauru as well as its humanitarian obligation by providing adequate care and treatment for the hunger striking asylum seekers".
Nauru Speaks Out on Processing of Asylum Seekers
20 December 2003
The Nauru Government has spoken out regarding the accommodation and treatment of asylum seekers in processing centres on its island.
In a statement released yesterday on behalf of the President of Nauru, Presidential Legal Counsel, the Hon. Russell Kun M.P., has emphasised that the processing centres on Nauru are not places of imprisonment, as has been claimed in recent media reports.
"Nauru's involvement in the processing of asylum seekers is part of our humanitarian obligation to address people smuggling in the region. This has been an issue of great importance to the Australian Government and we have provided our full cooperation and support," Mr Kun said.
"Our Government takes very seriously the welfare of asylum seekers who have been brought to our island and we have adopted every possible measure to ensure their stay is a comfortable one," Mr Kun continued.
Mr Kun said that the Nauru Government has provided asylum seekers with the freedom to attend public hospitals whenever they are in need of medical attention, have their children enrolled in schools with Nauruan children, move around on the island for shopping, picnics, swimming and to participate in sporting events. Some asylum seekers attend church services on the island and a small mosque has been established.
"Facilities at the two processing centres are air conditioned and three meals a day are provided. Asylum seekers have also been given a vegetable garden to grow their own produce and a Nauruan women's group has been providing recreational craft classes for women and children," said Mr. Kun.
Mr Kun concluded, "Asylum seekers accommodated on our island have been provided with a level of care and conditions that are equal to, if not better than, that of the Nauruan people themselves".
Nauru accommodates asylum seekers in two processing centres, which are funded by Australia, with the presence and assistance of the Australian Consulate, UNHCR, IOM, DIMIA, APS, Eurest for catering purposes and Chubbs Security Group.
Nauru Removed from OECD List of Uncooperative Tax Havens
17 December 2003
The Republic of Nauru has been removed from the OECD's list of uncooperative tax havens following a commitment made by His Excellency, the President of Nauru, Rene Harris, on OECD tax compliance.
Nauru's commitment, laid out in a letter from the President of Nauru to the Secretary-General of the OECD, provides an "effective exchange of information agreements for criminal tax matters" and a readiness "to negotiate agreements for civil tax matters". Both commitments will become effective after 31 December 2003 and 31 December 2005, respectively.
In relation to matters of tax transparency, the Nauru Government will ensure that "information on beneficial ownership of companies, partnerships and other legal entities and on trustees and beneficiaries" is made available to its authorities and that companies, partnerships, trusts, and other legal entities in Nauru keep accounts in accordance with standards developed by the OECD.
In a statement today, the President of Nauru, Rene Harris said, "I am pleased with the positive response we have received from the Secretary-General of the OECD to our commitment. The Nauru Government attaches fundamental importance to the view expressed by the OECD that fair tax competition is not to be discouraged and we look forward to working together on this matter".
Nauru's removal from the OECD's list of uncooperative tax havens follows its report to the OECD's Financial Action Task Force in June regarding its compliance with recommendations on offshore banking licenses and money laundering. As part of its compliance, Nauru revoked all banking licenses issued by the Bank of Nauru and passed legislation eliminating its off-shore banking sector.
Asylum Seekers in Nauru Receive Good Behaviour Bonds
3 October 2003

A total of 25 counts were heard in Nauru's District Court in relation to the riot. The accused asylum seekers were tried in 3 cases heard over 38 days before judgement was handed down on Tuesday.
Four of the accused were found not guilty and had their charges dismissed.
Nauru Hosts Pacific Legal Conference in Melbourne 20 - 22 October
Sixteen Pacific nations are expected to send the heads of their legal departments to Melbourne to attend the Pacific Islands Law Officer's Meeting, being hosted by the Republic of Nauru, next week.
Known as PILOM, the Pacific Islands Law Officer's Meeting is an annual event of the Pacific Forum. Every year, delegates from Pacific nations convene at PILOM to report on legislative, judicial and administrative developments within their countries.
The Nauru-owned Savoy Park Plaza will be the venue for this year's conference, titled 'Maintaining the Rule of Law'.
In recognising the importance of his nation's role in this year's meeting, the President of Nauru, His Excellency the Hon. Rene Harris M.P., expressed his pleasure in Nauru's involvement as host.
"PILOM is a very significant event among nations of the Pacific. This meeting allows us to come together through dialogue and reaffirm our commitment to the rule of law in our island nations and in the region as a whole," the President said.
It was decided that this year's PILOM would be staged in Melbourne instead of Nauru for logistic reasons. Hotels and facilities required for the meeting in Nauru are currently being used by officials from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Australian Protective Services (APS) and other personnel involved in the processing of asylum seekers. For this reason, it was decided that the meeting would be held in the city of Melbourne - regarded by Nauruans as their second home.
The President said, "Nauru has a close historical relationship with Melbourne and the city was a natural choice for the staging of this year's PILOM. We welcome our overseas visitors to the city of Melbourne, and trust that their stay will be a memorable one".
The President will formally welcome delegates and special guests to PILOM at a dinner in the President's private suite on the 51st floor of Nauru House on the first night of the conference.
The sixteen member nations of PILOM are Australia, the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Republic of Kiribati, Marshall Islands, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Kingdom of Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and host nation, Republic of Nauru.
PILOM will commence on October 20th and will run for three days until October 22nd. Nauru's Minister for Justice, the Hon. Godfrey Thoma, M.P. will speak at PILOM's opening ceremony at 9.00am, which will be open to members of the media.
The Savoy Park Plaza's address is 630 Little Collins Street, Melbourne.

Accommodation and facilities are fully extended in Nauru at present, due to official staff and international representatives involved in the processing of asylum seekers".
"Nauru has a close historical relationship with Melbourne which was a natural choice for the staging of this year's PILOM. We welcome our overseas visitors to the City of Melbourne, and trust that their stay will be a memorable one".

Solve This! Live at DragonCon 2012
By Widge - posted 08.24.13 @ 5:00 am
Okay, yes, it's a second series. Consider this your appetizer for the upcoming second series of Solve This, the improvisational panel show and podcast that pits a panel of four experts to unravel the particular Gordian Knots that I place in front of them for your amusement. No, really, we're doing more of them. The damn chairman scripts are already written.
For this episode, we were recorded live in front of a studio audience (again, no, really) at DragonCon 2012. Special thanks to Jon Boutelle and The Unique Geek crew for getting us on tape. Special thanks also to Aaron Poole for editing this monster. Hire them both. Their rates are reasonable. And! We're doing another live performance/recording Sunday at DragonCon 2013...September 1st, 7pm at the Atlanta Ballroom in the Westin. So this gives an idea of what to expect.
For this special live edition, joining me for the madness are:
If you have a problem you'd like to have addressed by our panel of experts, send it to solve this at (this domain).
Or if you want to do something else with it, the feed feed for all our podcasts is here.
To download this directly, Solve This: Live at DragonCon 2012, then do that thing.

Re-energized your boring life with a vacation
Have you ever wonder why people lose their juice working the same old job? Doing the same routine becomes boring after awhile. Sometimes your mind becomes foggy and you need to clear it. Getting away from the routine will help you to get a new perspective. You will become clearer in your view as well as having more energy to do work when you take some time for you.
Debunk the overload syndrome
You can take a vacation for a day or a week. Make sure wherever you go you are free from the everyday stuff you do. On your vacation, you need to do something fun to uplift your spirit. Do not worry about the work you left behind. Just enjoy the moment and be mindful of your surroundings.
Play and creativity
Play opens the creativity channel that you need in your work. Having time for play will benefit you in helping you to relax as well as not taking your self-too seriously. Play is a time to laugh at yourself and meditate. It is a time to enjoy the moment and make someone day. So now you know the importance of play by taking a needed break. Have fun on your vacation. Stay tuned for more from Mrs. Laughingpants.

Testimony Against 182 15th Street Development
March, 29 2006
Testimony Presented to:
Submitted By:
Re: 182 15th Street Brooklyn
Thank you for the opportunity today to comment on the proposed development on 182 15th Street in South Park Slope. As the Assemblymember for the 52nd Assembly District, representing Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, DUMBO, Vinegar Hill, and Park Slope, I join the South Slope Community in their effort to halt out-of-scale development and preserve the distinct character of their neighborhood. I urge you to deny Global Development's application for 182 15th Street in my district to be vested under the R6 zoning code regulations.
As you are aware, in November of 2005 the City Council overwhelmingly voted to preserve the character of the South Slope area by enacting strict regulations on development. This was part of a larger effort to maintain low rise residential structures on side blocks, while allowing for more development on the avenues. Just prior to the enactment of the new zoning code, the developers made a calculated effort to circumvent the oncoming regulations and rush the construction of a new foundation.
In doing so, the developer built the portion of the foundation using dangerous building practices that are contrary to code. As my constituents have reported to me, unsafe construction practices occurred beyond the permitted work hours and without the proper permits. Furthermore, the Department of Buildings issued objections for incomplete and unlawful plans as well as a stop work order for demolition. It is clear that the portion of the foundation that was finished, was completed only by violating the rules set to protect our communities and our workers.
Beyond the unsafe practices used by Global Development, I firmly believe that the proposed building is contrary to the spirit of the neighborhood and the intention of the new zoning designation. Whether half the foundation was built prior to the enactment of the new zoning code or the day after, the effect remains the same. The 12 story structure planned at 182 15th Street will dwarf the surrounding three and four story row houses and will be out of context with the rest of the neighborhood.
Please take into consideration the concerns of the community for this property in my district and the proposed developments across the South Park Slope area. While I am excited about aspects of development in Brooklyn, we need to be cautious as we move forward and ensure that development is sensitive to the surrounding community. In light of these cautions I strongly recommend denying the application of 182 15th Street for vesting under the new zoning designation.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, has been awarded 'Best Business Class Airline, Middle East' in the prestigious Business Destinations Travel Awards 2012. The Business Destinations Travel Awards are voted for by readers of Business Destinations magazine, which is published in the UK every other month.
The Oman Daily Observer reports that Wayne Pearce, Oman Air's CEO, says: "We are delighted that Oman Air has been named as 'Best Business Class Airline, Middle East' in the Business Destinations Travel Awards. This follows on from last year's win by Oman Air of the 'Best Luxury Airline, Middle East' category, so we are extremely pleased that the quality of our premium service has been recognized for the second year running.
He added "My thanks go to Business Destinations' readers and to all our staff, throughout Oman Air, who have played a vital role in transforming the airline into the luxury carrier it is today, and ensuring the success of our outstanding and internationally-recognized business class offering."
The award follows the introduction over the last two years of a brand new fleet of Airbus A330s to the airline's long haul routes, the launch from March 2011 of Embraer 175s on short haul routes, the pioneering of onboard mobile phone and wi-fi connectivity and the unveiling of superb new business class and first class lounges at Muscat International Airport. A state-of-the-art new Business Class lounge was also opened in Bangkok.

Bored on night shift- should I ask for transfer?
- 0Jun 18, '10 by Happyday1Hi everyone,
I'm a new grad and I've been working night shift on a tele/med-surg floor for about a month. The hospital is giving me 3 months of orientation with a preceptor. So far, I love what I do (taking care of the patients) and even though there's a lot I don't know, I feel like work isn't challenging enough and I'm bored on my shift. The first 4-5hr of the shift is okay, but through out the night it's very slow and there's so much down time. Is night shift usually like this?? I don't like it all because 1. I'd end up sitting around and being bored, 2. the nurses tend to group together and gossip ALOT which I don't like. and 3. I feel like I'm not getting the experience I need to become competent. As a new grad, I want to get my feet wet as much as possible and I don't know if night shift allows for that. I'm thinking of asking for a transfer to another unit. My question is, would it make me look bad since I was hired to cover for the shortage on the unit I'm on now? Or would the director try to fire me since it'd come off as I don't want to work on her floor? I really don't like my unit, my coworkers, my preceptor, my director...I don't know what to do.
- 5Jun 18, '10 by fungezPersonally, I'd give it a year. Yeah, I know the unit doesn't owe you anything, they'd fire you in a heartbeat, yadayadayada. But the manager took a chance on you and spent tons of money training you. Night shift can have a lot of downtime no matter the unit and staff does a lot of talking as well as eating to keep themselves awake. If it were me I'd ask for a day transfer on the same unit. If that can't happen I'd give it a year and then transfer. Trust me, you'll be way more marketable then.
- 9Jun 18, '10 by netglowOOOh OP, I would not stir the waters in this economy. Find something to bring with you to study when you have down time. There has to be tons you don't know.
There are tons of NGs out here, like sharks (me) circling just waiting for your job. I wouldn't splash around too much.
- 6Jun 18, '10 by April, RNI agree with the others who are saying to stick it out for a year. Try to find new things to see and learn on the unit during your down time. Ask the other nurses if they have a patient with an interesting history or device that's new to you, thumb through your policy and procedure manuals, ask if someone can go over what's in the code cart or check out the code blue documentation form. Sometimes new grads have the opposite problem... they are so busy that they don't have the time to learn and feel comfortable with those things (or even use the bathroom!), so make the best of the extra time that you have.
- 19Jun 18, '10 by RaziRNSo you're still on orientation? When I was still on orientation on night shift I had a lot of down time and time to eat lunch and go to the bathroom and do some mandatory education all because my preceptor was there to help me out. Are you even taking a full pt. load? Now that I've been off orientation for about three months I can count the times I have had down time on one hand. I can also count the times I've actually had enough time to eat lunch on one hand. Being on orientation and on your own are two totally different worlds. What I wouldn't give to still be on orientation. I'm sure that once you come off orientation you will have MORE than enough to occupy you.
- 1Jun 18, '10 by JenRN30You can always ask your manager if you could precept for awhile on days, so that you can see more procedures, deal with docs, RT, PT, OT, case workers, etc. The only way it may be a problem is if they don't have anyone to precept you. Ask if they will have any openings on the day shift any time soon after you get off orientation. I don't think it'll hurt anything to ask that. I wouldn't ask for a transfer. Doesn't look good, and I doubt any other units would take you without a minimum of 6 months experience. I just went to night shift after being on days for awhile. You're right, there is quite a bit of downtime, but I like that it's not so crazy and stressful as the day shift is. Hope it works out.
- 2Jun 18, '10 by OutlawNurse86Bored on a tele floor?!!? Dang, where do you work? I wanna switch places with you.
- 4Jun 18, '10 by DoritoMaybe it's the calm before the storm. Census goes up and down. More than likely about the time you are bored the flood gates might open up and you'll be grateful for the quieter nights. I agree with many of the other posters. Bring some of your books and maybe you can quiz each other on some of the questions.....who knows, maybe the vets might learn a little something too. Stay put and get some time under your belt. A month isn't enough time to make any rash decisions.
- 4Jun 18, '10 by limeyThere is always something to do at every shift. On night shift I usually ask the nurse on unit if there is anything I can do to help, I may learn something new. There may be equipment to clean, nurses station to be straightened up. Read facility policies and procedures. Even better, break up the gossip scene and offer your help in something that needs to be done.

Had a crappy day today....... really crappy. I wasn´t in the gym because I am lazy and I ate too much already because I am a binge-cow. It seems after some days of starving my body gets frustrating as hell. Anyway, worked on my new page and the first site is done. Now I am working on each single site which take me a while because the layout changes in the different sections. It´s all pretty exciting and I have nothing better to do anyway. Reminds of something Avril Lavigne said in one of her songs:

Yale's first Sustainability Strategic Plan was launched in 2010 with an ambitious set of
goals intended to expand upon the University's greenhouse gas emissions targets that
were established in 2005. One of the overarching goals of the first plan was to ensure
that our environmental citizenship would extend beyond the robust leadership present
for over a century in our academic community, with our operational policies and
practices demonstrating similar leadership. With growing support and commitment
from almost every sector of the campus, we have made significant progress over the
past three years in advancing sustainability on campus. Some of the major accomplishments
achieved as a result of the first plan include:
• 16% reduction in campus greenhouse gas emissions
• 24% reduction in municipal solid waste
• 28% recycling rate
• 95% of dining hall food waste composted
• 37% of dining hall food meeting one of the four sustainable food criteria
• 100% of new on-campus construction and major renovations earning at least
Leadership in Energy & Environmental (LEED) Gold certification
In addition to the quantitative goals, we have developed and begun implementing the
following sustainability management plans:
• Green Purchasing Guidelines
• Stormwater Management Plan (2013–2016)
• Water Management Plan (2013–2016)
• Sustainability Supplement to the Framework for Campus Planning
• A Plan for Sustainable Transportation at Yale
This second Sustainability Strategic Plan for 2013 to 2016 builds on the successes of the
first plan, addresses areas where additional effort is needed, and includes a new model
of cost effectiveness. The goals in the Sustainability Strategic Plan 2.0 are intended
to engage all members of the Yale community in advancing a more environmentally
friendly, healthier, and financially robust institution. Developed with the input and insights of a steering committee and team of delegates, this plan sets forth goals and
related objectives in five areas:
• Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Natural and Built Environment
• Materials Management
• Food and Well-Being
• Sustainability Leadership and Capacity Building
In addition, an internal companion document, the Sustainability Action Plan, includes
detailed descriptions of the approaches, projects, responsible departments, and incremental
steps for each overall goal and its objectives.
We will continue to collect metrics to determine progress toward meeting the goals.
The new plan has also been developed with attention to determining the overall cost
effectiveness of our sustainability investments. We recognize that in the current financial
climate we need to achieve further progress in our sustainability goals within
existing budgetary parameters of departments and units, except in those special cases
where provostial approval is secured for pilot projects. We have identified two categories
of sustainability investments that will be tracked and measured over time: (1) any
incremental cost increase to business as usual (e.g., energy conservation, LEED-certified
buildings, transportation), which will be reviewed in the regular university budget
process; and (2) sustainable product replacement within standard operating procedures
and budgets (e.g., green cleaning products). The return on these sustainability
investments takes three forms: (1) cost savings over time, (2) cost avoidance, and (3)
benefits to health and overall personal and environmental well-being. The third category
is more difficult to quantify but is nonetheless a benefit to be considered. This
overall approach will allow informed financial decision-making in an era when there
are many worthy projects competing for finite funding.
Finally, in order for Yale to continue as a leader in sustainability—developing best
practices, using resources wisely, and securing the ecological and environmental future
of the campus—we must continue to advance the policies, practices, and behaviors that
have reduced our ecological impacts, enhanced the quality of life, and provided hands-on
learning. President Richard Levin's vision made possible the first Yale Sustainability
Strategic Plan. With President Peter Salovey's leadership, this plan will build on that
extraordinary foundation. We are entrusted with the care of a 312-year-old institution.
This plan, the collaboration that went into its development, and the systemic and
behavioral changes that will emerge from it will ensure that Yale is a leader in sustainability
well into the future.
