Blue Buttons Porpita porpita
At first sight, blue buttons could be mistaken for a small jellyfish or even a piece of blue plastic. In fact, it is a hydrozoan colony that is modified for a free-floating existence. Swarms of these unusual creatures can be seen drifting on the water's surface or can sometimes be found washed up on the shore. The blue button is kept afloat by a buoyant circular disk. Around the edge hang protective stinging polyps modified as knobbed tentacles. In the center underneath hangs a large feeding polyp that acts as the mouth for the whole colony. In between this and the tentacles are circlets of reproductive polyps. Unlike the Portuguese man-of-war (see Swimming and Drifting) to which it is related, blue buttons do not have a powerful sting.

Smoke Alarm Questions
- What are the requirements for smoke alarm installation in your home following the Ontario Fire Code?
- What are the recommended locations for smoke alarms to be installed?
- Do smoke alarms last forever?
- How do I test a smoke alarm?
- What maintenance do smoke alarms require?
- Is it recommended that a homeowner purchase the new extended life battery powered smoke alarms?
- What can be done about false alarms caused by bathroom steam and cooking smoke?
- Where can smoke alarms be purchased?
If you question does not appear on the Burlington Fire Departments Frequently Asked Questions page. Send your question to firstname.lastname@example.com
1. What are the requirements for smoke alarm installation in your home following the Ontario Fire Code?
- The Ontario Fire Code requires that owners of dwellings provide, install, and maintain working smoke alarms in all residential premises. A smoke alarm is required to be installed between each sleeping area and the remainder of the dwelling unit. Where the sleeping areas are served by hallways, the smoke alarms must be installed in the hallways. In addition, at least one smoke alarm is required to be installed on each storey that does not contain a sleeping area. All smoke alarms are to be maintained in good working order at all times.
Example: A two storey home with bedrooms located only on the upper level must have a smoke alarm installed in the hall adjacent to the sleeping rooms and also on the main floor and in the basement.
- It is highly recommended that smoke alarms be installed inside bedrooms if the occupant of that room sleeps with the door closed. This will ensure that fires starting in the bedroom while someone is sleeping are detected in their earliest stages.
Although there has been no conclusive tests on how long smoke alarms will last, it has been determined that as smoke alarms become 10 to 15 years old, they may become less sensitive to the products of combustion.
- Using the test button tests the audible portion of the smoke alarm only. This test should be done monthly to ensure the battery or electrical power supply is in good condition.
5. What maintenance do smoke alarms require?
- Monthly testing, using the test button.
- Gentle vacuuming every six months with a soft bristle brush attachment.
- Replacement of battery power supply semi-annually (change battery when your clocks are changed)
- Replace any alarms that are damaged, painted, malfunctioning or if they are over 10 years old.
Although the requirement for semi-annual replacement of battery is eliminated with these units, it is to be stressed to the homeowner that the testing procedures as noted above should still be conducted.
Relocate the detector away from the source of the false alarms such as kitchens and bathrooms
Replace the detector with a unit that is equipped with a "pause" button which temporarily silences the alarm without removing the battery
Replace the unit with a photo-electric type smoke alarm. These units are less susceptible to false alarms from cooking smoke and steam, but are equally as effective as ionization units in detecting the products of combustion
8. Where can smoke alarms be purchased?
Smoke alarms are readily available in most hardware stores and department stores and range in price from $6.00 to $35.00.
An electrician can also hardwire a smoke alarm to your home electrical system.

Matthew's death has lit an everlasting candle in all of us. He has become our hero, and he is like the brother I have never known.
for Matthew Shepard...
once the darkness has found its way and has covered my world
i used to think that i could no longer continue on
we have all felt at sometime in our lives that the darkness brought on
too much to bear
but in the last few nights, as the light within my hero faded
i saw it get stronger within me
we want so many of the same dreams, the same simple dreams of peace and
love and justice
only now the view has changed, looking down upon the world from heaven
they say the angels are always with you, now I know Matthew is with them
tonight i say a prayer that say in your short life you accomplished
much, may you help me to accomplish those things which were not finished
as you light the darkness please know you will always be remembered
we love you, i love you, as the brother that i never had
in my heart you will remain

Dragon's Dogma Has Stolen My Heart Again.
By Demoskinos 39 Comments
Okay, so when I stepped away from Dragon's Dogma last year I had upwards of over 100 hours logged into the game. I think it was actually nearing 170-ish as I played through the entire game nearly 3 times. At this point I thought I was done with Dragon's Dogma. I was wrong.
Late last year Capcom released a teaser trailer announcing what everyone thought was a bit of DLC called "Dark Arisen". They went dark and then earlier this year it was revealed that Dark Arisen would be a entire re-release treatment similar to Super Street Fighter. The rest as they say is history as I'm staring at a clock counter 90+ hours deep on a new file on the PS3 version this time of Dark Arisen.
Whats funny is for a game that I've put this much time into I nearly didn't bother with it at all. When I saw capcom was doing this I thought it looked so generic and boring and well... kind of awful. I'll admit even as a fan now from the outside Dragon's Dogma isn't a very appealing game. It does nothing visually to catch your attention at all. I owe my entire discovery of this game to my friend.
He hounded me for weeks on end to try out the Dragon's Dogma demo. I played it once died a few times and turned it off. I always feel guilty about dismissing a game after I play poorly so I tried it again. I managed to climb on the Griffin in the demo and was slashing the crap out of it holding on for my life as it thrashed around. The mage in my party lit it wings on fire and music kicked up as I rode this flaming monster as it crashed unceremoniously into the ground. I was hooked.
So as I've been playing Dark Arisen and enjoying both the new content and the main game again I've been trying to pinpoint what exactly is so appealing about this game to me. Its a game that isn't without its fair share of quirks and problems but I think I actively regard it as one of my top 5 RPG's of this generation. So join me as I try to take a thought journey into Dragon's Dogma.
C-C-Combo Breaker! : The Combat of Dragon's Dogma
If you've followed or played Dragon's Dogma at all you've undoubtedly heard talk about how great the combat was. Its really the main pillar of the game and one that really holds it all together. So, I don't want to assume everyone here has thrown multiple hours into this so I'll give a brief overview of how it works if you've never played the game before. Basically you can choose initially one of three vocations Mage, Fighter and Strider. The controls are pretty simple basic light and heavy attacks along with a modifier button that acts as a modifier allowing your basic attack buttons to activate skills/spells instead.
What makes this so fun to play around with is that at level 10 the world really opens up to you with the addition of six more classes. There are three advanced classes like Warrior, Ranger, Sorcerer and three Hybrid classes Magick Archer, Magick Knight and Assassin. The thing I really love is this allows you for really customized classes. You CAN be every class and viably play the game. What is better many of your passive skills known as "augments" can be learned on one class and still used and applied while being an entirely other class.
On top of the behind the scenes stuff the actual combat in motion is great as well. The combat itself works very much like Monster Hunter in a few ways. The animations are very deliberate and all of the classes play very differently. You really need to not only build a party that complements your abilities but know how to engage enemies properly. If you're a mage that gets too close to the ogre swinging around wildly you're going to pay. While on the other hand if you're a tank who isn't in there pulling aggro away from your healer she might get smacked off a ledge and then you'll be up a creek.
Targeting body parts on monster and enemies is also a big focus which is really fun to do. Hitting a Cyclops in the face will result in its tusk breaking off not only causing damage but providing a extra bit of loot. The thing that really sets the combat apart though is how it lets you clamber and climb on nearly EVERYTHING in the game. As I mentioned before in my story of my fight in the demo with the Griffin clambering onto monsters is a thing. This can lead to some crazy moments. The risk and reward of these moments is one of the great thrills of the game. Clambering up the back of an Ogre could lead to you being able to get to its head allowing you to really get some damage in. However, the Ogre could simply jump on his back killing you or run off of a cliff taking you with him. Controlling and shaping the fights to your advantage is a huge part of the combat as well.
Darkness is a big deal in Dragon's Dogma. And I don't mean in the good versus evil sort of way. Night is DARK and when I say dark I don't mean its sort of uncomfortable but hey I can still see dark. I mean... DARK you can't see dark. To this end the game gives you a lantern but here is the catch... the lantern also runs on fuel and can also go out if you splash around in the water. There is nothing like fighting an Cyclops on a perilous ledge near a cliff when all of a sudden your lantern goes out leaving the giant beast swinging its club through the darkness. Not only does the game put you in positions that are uncomfortable and perilous its just straight up more dangerous at lower levels to go out after dark. Goblins are replaced on the roads by the undead, skeletons and if you're really unlucky a Wight.
This premise is really exciting at least at the beginning of the game its a shame and one of the biggest things I feel the game failed on delivering consistently through the game. It would have been great even as a beefed up level 100 to be terrified to be caught in the dark. The tension of the early hours of Dragon's Dogma's combat is fantastic. Much like Dark Souls you'll find yourself being very cautious. Too much exploration could lead to a chance early encounter with a wandering Chimera.
Even though the feel for the combat takes some getting used to and some of the aspects of the tension of the combat only work for so long the entire package of all of these things is what is so fascinating about the combat. You're just not getting stat boosts and mashing an attack button you're actively seeking out weak points on monsters and engaging each of them in different ways. You're mixing and matching abilities to make custom classes. Its active combat that really allows you to show off your reflexive skills as well as getting better through new gear and stat boosts. And its absolutely a blast.
You're My Bitch: Dragon's Dogma's Pawn System
One of the most innovative and original things that Dragon's Dogma puts forward as a game in its genre is the pawn system. What is the pawn system you say? Well, to put it bluntly your pawn is your side-kick. He or She accompanies your main character on their journeys around the land. What is unique about this system is how this system connects players from all over the world.
So, say you are a Strider and you decided to make your pawn a Fighter. You're now sorely lacking a healer aren't you? This is where the pawn system comes in. The game allows you to hire other players pawns. Which allows this single player only game to have a unique take on multiplayer connectivity. If your pawn is hired out you get rewarded with Rift Crystals. There is nothing better than seeing your pawn being rented out on a regular basis. Its weird too outside of some light in-fiction justification of the pawns there is no real story to speak of between you and your pawn. I however at least have on both of my characters I've made gotten actually kind of attached to my pawns. I've been happy when they save the day, concerned when they are in a perilous situation and even felt bad the few times I've not been able to save her.
Even if Dragon's Dogma doesn't get a proper sequel I hope they actually use this feature in other single player games. Like Dark Souls its a interesting way to add connectivity and multiplayer without making it nothing but death matches and standard Co-op and I find that interesting. Its pretty cool to be making tandem progress in the game with a friend and seeing how their pawn updates and changes over the course of the game. But no seriously... this game better get a sequel...
I'm just going to borrow your heart for a bit you're cool with that right, bro? (a.k.a the story)
So, the story in Dragon's Dogma is a peculiar thing.... cause like for most of the game there is none. The setup for your adventure is clear enough. A dragon appears and attacks your small fishing village. Your character inexplicably tries to fight the thing single handedly. Needless to say that doesn't go to well and the dragon decides to eat your heart. And there is your entire setup for the story. Oh, you ask about the whole being alive without your heart thing? Oh uh well that gets explained...just play the game.
Thing is for what turns into a lot of quests that end up not having a entirely a lot to do with actually making narrative progress on this front the last third or so of the game is NUTS. See, I'm at a impasse here now. I really want to talk in detail WHY the ending is as crazy as it is but If you haven't already played it you would be robbing yourself of a rather mind blowing few series of events.
Needless to say the story is ultimately is one of the bigger failings of Dragon's Dogma for what ends up being such an incredible premise they sure to take their time giving you anything to chew on plot wise. The other thing is that while I do adore what they do with the story and where it goes the characters aren't all that memorable. Which, again is sort of a shame. I'm really hoping again like with the pawn system Capcom learns from all of this and makes the story in a possible sequel even better. But no, seriously you need to see the final bits of this game its pretty crazy....
You got your dark souls in my Dragon's Dogma - The Dark Arisen Expansion
This next part is for people who are interested in hearing how the new content is so if you're interested in that... then continue reading! So, one thing that kept running through my head over and over while playing this expansion. Someone at Capcom really likes them some Dark Souls. The entirety of Bitter Black Isle is oppressive and ominous in nature. Also, like Dark Souls the Isle is a linear affair unlike the open world of Gransys. You will unlock shortcuts after bosses that all connect back to the main hub area with a rest spot and a NPC called Olgra who will let you access your inventory etc....
I dunno, does that sound familiar? Yeah? Glad we agree. But this expansion isn't all about aping Dark Souls. It brings a few new mechanics to the table. First off the base enemies in BBI are fucking brutal as is. I really suggest not even attempting anything until you are at LEAST level 50. Even at level 50 I found my self struggling a little bit with some of the enemies. So right, new mechanics. One of these you'll be introduced to pretty early on. You know Death right? Oh you know... carries a Scythe reaps the souls of the dead that whole thing? Yeah? Good. So you totally fight Death in this. What is interesting isn't necessarily that you fight him but that fighting him is a tall task. He is by far one of the most dangerous enemies in the game period.
What is more interesting is this is a fight that you aren't going to win right away because death will randomly appear and disappear assailing you when he sees fit. All the damage you do to him is permanent as well. So next time he appears he will retain any damage from your previous encounters. And when I say he appears at random he will absolutely appear at the worst possible junctures making crazy fights even more perilous.
The other thing that is new but well sort of along the lines of the Death fight but in another way is the introduction of "Carrion Creatures". Carrion creatures are extremely powerful beasts that will take the form of either a Garm (a giant dog like creature) or a Elder Ogre (he is a fan of drop kicks). The basis of when they appear depends on how much you kill. They are attracted by the rotting corpses of the enemies that you kill. So, the more you kill the more you have the chance of ironically putting yourself in even MORE danger. These monsters are no laughing matter either especially Elder Ogres even at level 90 now the things are still a pretty tall task for me to take out.
In addition to all the new enemies and stuff the game packs in some cool new mechanics with how you get the new weapons, armor and items that have been put into the Dark Arisen Expansion. In the main game you open a chest and you find a weapon right? Dark Arisen puts a tweak on the treasure hunting in this expansion. Instead of flat out finding a weapon or a armor you'll find what is known as a "Cursed Item" the description will tell you what kind of item it is Cursed Weapon, Cursed Armor etc...
However, you won't know WHAT weapon or armor piece you are going to get until you take it Olgra and have her purify it. Once you purify it its basically like opening up a pack of trading cards you have a chance to get some really killer weapons and armor but then again... you could also get something you have 4 or 5 of sitting in your bank. All in all I'd say if you ran straight through Bitter Black Isle would take you around 2-3 hours to get through. There is plenty of optional fights and quests to be had though. I'm really having fun with it. As is evident by me putting off writing this for days because I could hardly tear myself away from playing.
Okay I'm going to quit writing so I can play some more. - The End?!
So I dunno what I really accomplished here. I know I've just felt like writing something about Dragon's Dogma for awhile (oh and using this awesome screenshots I was able to take!) so hopefully I might have encouraged a person or two to try this game or if you have and quit give it another go. Despite much of its chunkiness its a game that has real heart (pun intended?!). And to those who might be on the fence on coming back for Dark Arisen I at least think its MUCH worth coming back for. They even fixed a ton of things in the base game (hey how about that new roll animation!) which is a much welcomed addition. I'm kind of running low on things to say at this point so I suppose I'll wrap it up with this. Dragon's Dogma is really one of my favorite games this generation and I hope we see a sequel. I'll be excited to see what Capcom does with this.
If anyone is playing and wants to hire my pawns both my PSN and Xbox Live is "Demoskinos" my pawns "Risty"(360) and "Momiji"(PS3) will be glad to help you out. Although, I'm playing currently on PS3 so....Risty will most likely not be updated any time soon but by all means still hire her. Now...to go play some more.....

SKILLS is a Start
The American story is littered with tales of displaced workers. These workers, often through no fault of their own, were left by the wayside as the economy's defining characteristics evolved. An innovation-driven, dynamic economy could change a worker's skillset from incomparable to incompatible overnight. That is the harsh lesson of our history as the country moved from an agrarian to an industrialized and now to an information age. And as the country continues its march to a more knowledge-based economy, we're seeing the rise of a displaced workforce yet again.
As far back as the Kennedy administration, the federal government, recognizing that increased automation in the economy was contributing to widespread unemployment, responded by creating the Area Redevelopment Act of 1961 and the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962. While their impacts are still debated, they stand as unmistakable evidence that the federal government has long made workforce training and retraining a priority.
Fast forward half a decade and you'll see that policymakers are still struggling to find ways to get workers back on their feet as quickly as possible. With the national unemployment rate stubbornly hovering at nearly 8 percent, millions of unemployed Americans are either searching for work, or for the training needed to upgrade their skillset. Just last year, in acknowledging the country's need to address the systemic problem with more zeal, President Obama, during his 2012 State of the Union address called on Congress to create a one-stop shop to help displaced workers. The initiative would streamline job training information, and forge partnerships with businesses and community colleges to arm workers with the advanced skills they need in today's economy –skills like robotics and laser training.
Last week the House of Representatives answered the president's call to action, passing H.R. 803, the Supporting Knowledge and Investing in Lifelong Skills (SKILLS) Act. In short, the bill would create a block grant program for states to invest in job training initiatives, consolidate the myriad of job training programs, and increase the ratio of employers who sit on workforce investment boards. A quick glance at the House vote on the SKILLS Act illustrates that many House Democrats still have concerns with the bill. With the bill now in the Senate, efforts to achieve a larger bipartisan majority in support of the legislation should be a high priority.
As the economy continues to modernize at breakneck speeds now, more than ever, a versatile and high-tech skillset is a must. The high-tech sector continues to be an innovative force, creating jobs, and driving economic growth to the tune of nearly $1 trillion in gross domestic product each year. The unemployment rate in the sector remains well below the national average, and incredibly, the number of open jobs in the high-tech sector actually exceeds the number of qualified applicants by about 2 to 1. Numbers such as these should be alarming; just think about what the country could do if our human capital needs were met.
While our economy anxiously waits for Congress to act on the SKILLS Act or something like it, many of the high-tech sector's leading companies are already acting. These companies are launching programs to provide information technology (IT) training to adults, providing mentors to help workers get acclimated to today's workplace, and even helping aspiring entrepreneurs learn more about new and emerging information and communications (ICT) technologies.
As I argued back in February, addressing our chronic unemployment problem starts with concerted workforce and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education investments by our policymakers. The SKILLS Act should be a jumping off point for parties in Congress to find common ground on common sense job training solutions.

Wed., December 18, 3:46 PMhi bittermelon,你好,謝謝你的回覆 我先講小小宜家工作緊的公司背景:是一間green tech start up,公司大部人是engineers,只有我一個人負責business side tasks.因為我們幫客開發產品,每個項目都有一個預算 宜家老闆想睇下budget 同實際支出有多大分別 我在這處已經糊塗,究竟應該用accrual Basis還是 Cash basis 如果用accrual ,就是4月budget 對比4月actual biunsess activities,如果是cash,就是4月budget對比3月的收入和四月實際支出...老闆的意見是採用Accrual basis, 唔好有延遲 我自己就是概念未諗得透徹,希望聽下有豐富工作的前輩的意見
Tue., December 17, 10:11 AMHi Echo其實你講既cash flow report係咪指cash flow foasrcet report? 其實來來去去都係個D items,所以本本書都差唔多. Report做得好唔好,主要係睇你做既assumption 同埋 foasrcet 準唔準. 要兩者做得準, 先決條件係你能攞到足夠既information比你去做. 例如retail shop 既人工, 你要做cash flow foasrcet做得準, 除咗只工每月既底薪外,你可能仲要估計埋佣金既支出,而佣金又同銷售掛鉤,所以你又要估計revenue既收入有多少. 要做呢D估計, 除咗過往既history data外, 相關部門例如sales dept等既幫助就少不了.

After I had already posted, Missy the So You Think You're Crafty author sent out an email inviting us to share on our blog and ask friends and family to vote, but to please not reveal our projects.
I honestly was not trying to break any rules or give myself any advantage over the other contestants as I thought they would be doing the same thing. I have seen past contestants asking readers to vote for their projects and naming them and showing pictures of their projects. My deepest apologies. **

I would like to say thank you for my free time and the ability to explore a career in journalism. Too often folks get hung up on the hum ho "thank you for my food" message without realizing what that means. In Noel Kingsbury's new book Hybrid: The History of Science and Plant Breeding, the farmer's contribution is spelled out in a concise manner. According to the book, it takes 20 square kilometers (4,942 acres) to support one hunter/gatherer. If the same land area were farmed, it would support 6,000 people.
This means the farmer's contribution to society has allowed us the time to pursue other career options. Yes, even you, Wayne Pacelle. As the CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, Pacelle spends his days trying to abolish animal agriculture. Even as he spends his time in this manner, he should be thanking farmers that he's able to do so. If he had to find his own berries and leaves, not much time would be left for working against the so-called "factory farms."

Use the snow to your advantage
The after effects of heavy snowfall have presented many people with an unexpected opportunity to remain indoors, the treacherous conditions prompting them to take a couple of days off work.
But the novelty value soon wears off. Unable to venture outdoors unless equipped with Torvill & Dean-style grace and ice skates, most folks find the alternatives are limited to catching up on household chores or succumbing to that least challenging of options, watching daytime TV – incredibly marking its thirtieth birthday this month.
A snowdrift meant I avoided a potentially awkward journey and 'worked from home', a euphemism for drinking far too much coffee and nibbling on those small, remaining pieces of Christmas cake. Yet as the bitterly cold, wintry scene outside served to confirm what a good idea it was to remain indoors, I put my enforced downtime to good use by mulling over a variety of retirement options, in particular the likely medium-term performance of bonds.
I did this after reading that up to half a million people nearing retirement risk losing up to a third of the value of their investments as the funds in which they're invested automatically increase their exposure to bonds.
How could this happen?
People who invest in what are known as 'lifestyling funds' may not realise that as they get older, fund managers increase their exposure to bonds, a strategy which, for decades, has been considered sensible because bonds were deemed considerably safer than equities. Today, however, such an approach is being challenged as bonds are no longer considered the safe haven they once were, a change which has potentially enormous implications for those nearing retirement.
This unusual situation has arisen in the wake of the credit crunch as investors, ironically, sought safety in government bonds, otherwise known as gilts. The problem is that everyone was thinking along similar lines; accordingly, many smaller investors opted to take their money out of shares and put it into bond funds. The effect was immediate – yields, which fall as underlying values rise, have been pushed lower and lower ever since.
The problem has been exacerbated by quantitative easing (QE), a policy of questionable value, which has seen the Bank of England print an extra £375 billion of fresh money in an attempt to boost the economy. The reasons why this policy has failed to work need not concern us here – they warrant another blog at the very least – but the result has been a further reduction in 10-year gilt yields which are now well under 2%, having fallen from around 3.5% in 2009.
This matters to those of us mindful of the 'R' word as we move closer to the end of our working careers and (hopefully) towards spending more time enjoying the effects of sunnier climes.
Why? Well, although it remains conjecture at the moment, there is a sense that bond values will fall over the next couple of years as interest rates inevitably (?) rise and investors, equally predictably, execute one of their periodic shifts out of bonds and back into equities.
At present, the Office for National Statistics estimate that pension funds hold gilts worth approximately £100 billion. Any significant reduction in their underlying value would, therefore, impact upon pensions payable to investors reaching retirement age.
According to some commentators, an investor with a pension fund worth £100,000 could, over the next five years, see it decimated by up to 30% should gilt yields return to their pre-credit crunch levels of 4.5%.
It has been suggested that a number of self-employed people in particular, who might be perhaps 5-7 years away from retiring and have built their pension funds to such levels, may wish to consider moving into funds that seek to preserve cash. Other people, within say, 3 years of retirement, have been asked to consider the possible merits of moving into cash, while employees aged over 50 have another option. Many are currently contacting their pension scheme managers to find out whether the funds in which they're invested automatically default to the 'lifestyling' option as they get older. It is possible to prevent this by asking the managers not to adapt such a strategy, although it's important to consider the alternatives to an approach which has worked well for decades.
In short, plenty to consider during the current enforced absence from work.

Gun owners, did you know you can buy Ammo and support Soldiers' Angels at the same time?
Ammo.net, offers a variety of handgun, rifle & shotgun ammunition, and donates 1% of every sale to each customer's chosen pro-military or 2nd Amendment organization. Since encountering Soldiers' Angels at the 2011 Milblogging Conference in May, they have included Soldiers' Angels as one of their customers' options, resulting in donations totally nearly $500 so far.
"We believe it's the right thing to do—supporting those who support & protect our freedoms—and our customers seem to really appreciate it too," says Sam Jacobs, a representative of Ammo.net. "Given that a lot of military folks are also gun owners (and vice versa), supporting Soldiers' Angels by purchasing ammo from us is a win-win."
This donation costs nothing additional for the customer, who simply chooses after the purchase which organization Ammo.net will support on the customer's behalf. For more information or to purchase, visit Ammo.net.

Broadcast News Documentary
Broadcast News Documentary
University of Delaware students of COMM/POSC 425 present their 3-month-long broadcast news investigation into the state of disaster readiness in Delaware. The student documentarians go beyond threats of terrorism and weather to explore everyday dangers challenging Delaware's readiness. They meet families living in the shadow of the nation's second-largest nuclear power plant. They discover unscreened cargo at the Port of Wilmington, and dangerous chemicals rolling past student dormitories and classrooms on freight trains dozens of times a day, while similar cargo is carefully routed around lawmakers in Washington, DC. Student journalists interview first responders and authorities at every level of government, discovering how little is known about these everyday threats.
"Ready... or Not?" won First Prize in a 2007 national competition conducted by the National Federation of Press Women. Earlier, it won First Prize at the state level, in a competition sponsored by the Delaware Press Association. In the state competition, judges called the program "well researched," "credible," "well photographed and well edited" and "informative."
Selected highlights reported by the students in this program:
Public safety and emergency preparedness officials in the City of Newark, New Castle County and at the University are unaware when hazardous freight is passing through northern Delaware.
Prospective UD students and parents are not informed of the hazardous cargo carried daily by 20-30 freight trains passing within a few feet of freshman dormitories, homes and businesses in Newark. Similar cargo, on the same tracks, has been re-routed around Washington, DC to protect Congress.
Hundreds - perhaps thousands - of cargo containers arriving in Delaware from abroad through the Port of Wilmington are not screened for hazardous contents such as radiation bombs, chemicals or explosives.
Realtors in Delaware don't inform new residents of their proximity to a nuclear power plant; residents often discover the situation only when they receive warnings to obtain iodine pills in case of a nuclear accident. Delaware's top emergency management official calls those pills a "psychological help."
Emergency sirens near the nuclear power plant could be silent for up to 30 minutes after a radiation incident.
Authorities expect thousands of UD students to find out about a possible disaster through the campus "grapevine" rather than through the state's emergency notification system. Thousands of UD students, many of whom use out-of-state cell phones, would not be reached by that system; they are not informed to register their phones with the state.
Emergency responders in Delaware are specially equipped for nuclear and chemical hazards, with decontamination gear, audio announcements and clothing.
A disaster preparedness plan prepared for the City of Newark makes no mention of hazardous chemicals carried on trains passing through the city and around the university daily.

Hi- I've thought up a new tag that I think would aid web document navigation. I am interested in developing the idea further, before I submit the idea to the forum. I have two questions that I would appreciate any input on: 1)I would like to see how my new tag works in practice. Is there an established way to modify a browser, or make a simpler HTML browser, to exploit a new tag? 2)If my new tag does seem to be effective, to whom would I send the proposal? Thank You- Alan Schepers Programmer/SysAdmin Its Your Turn, Inc.Received on Thursday, 25 November 1999 20:39:35 GMT

|You are here: Main / Customer Services / Public Communications Division / Honolulu News Releases 2003 / First New Bus Passes For Seniors And Disabled Are Issued
Over 1,500 seniors and disabled bus riders got their new bus passes and identification cards today at the processing center set up by the Department of Transportation Services at the Neal Blaisdell Center.
The second processing center at TheBus Office, 811 Middle Street, handled several hundred persons.
DTS Director Cheryl Soon said many bus riders had to be turned away due to the overwhelming numbers who chose to come down on the first day of processing.
Tomorrow, the processing center at Blaisdell Center will serve only those who were turned away today. They were given an application form and asked to return Tuesday.
Soon reminds senior and disabled bus riders that their current passes are good until November 1. ôThereĺs no need to rush down to the processing centers,ö Soon said.
She also points out that current senior and disabled bus passes can be used as identification cards until their expiration date allowing the rider to board for $1. Riders can also show their medicare cards as an ID.
Processing hours at Blaisdell Center are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. TheBus Office is open from 7:30 a.m to 3:30 p.m.
Next week, DTS will continue its processing operation at Blaisdell Center from Oct. 14-17 but also move into the community to serve those who cannot come into town. The schedule is as follows:
Oct. 13, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Wahiawa District Park, Pearlridge Satellite City Hall and Windward Mall.
Oct. 14, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Waimanalo District Park, Pearlridge Satellite City Hall and Windward Mall.
Oct. 15, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Makua AliĺI Senior Citizen Center, Pearlridge Satellite City Hall and Windward Mall.
Oct. 16, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Kaneohe Community Center, Pearlridge Satellite City Hall and Windward Mall.
Oct. 17, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Pearlridge Satellite City Hall and Windward Mall.
From Oct. 21-24, DTS will operate the processing center again from the Blaisdell Center.
DTS is looking for additional sites in the community where seniors and disabled riders can process their ID cards and purchase their bus passes. Additional information on processing sites will be available on the cityĺs web page: www.co.honolulu.hi.us/dts

REVIEW SUMMARY: A pretentious, self-indulgent, and ultimately silly first feature from director Panos Cosmatos that never captures the erratic grace or fitful elegance of early 1980s trash science fiction cinema.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: At the Arboria Institute in the early 1980s, scientist Barry Nyle performs experiments using odd metaphysical technologies on the mind of a captive young woman.
PROS: Michael Rogers, who looks precisely as a mad scientist should in a trash classic; unique attempts to give the visual and aural textures of a science fiction movie from the 1980s; odd, occasionally effective imagery, intriguing music from Jeremy Schmidt…
CONS: …all of which in the service of Cosmatos's obtuse and uninvolving script and painfully redundant direction; set design and visual cues borrowed too heavily from other, better movies and directors; a finished product that never quite convinces it is of the period.

Just to illustrate how blind US "leaders" are to the reality the people of our nation face (or maybe they are quite happy with this) the information below should serve as a wake-up call for people who still think that the USA is #1!
USA Today reported on February 1 the following:
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta warned Friday the United States would become a "second-rate power" if Congress and the White House fail to reach a budget deal that would avoid an extra $500 billion in military budget cuts over the next 10 years.
Do we not yet see the deadly connection between US imperialism and the dissolution of social progress at home? How much more obvious can it be?
- 22nd place when it comes to keeping our people out of long-term unemployment
- 26th place in school performance and the same in literacy
- 35th place in keeping our fellow citizens above the poverty line
- 37th place in providing health care, or to state it another way
- 48th place in infant mortality – keeping babies alive until their first birthday – generally accepted as the best overall indicator of a nation's health
- 50th place in life expectancy at birth
- 91st place in overall equality of income distribution and
- 116th place in the share of income held by the poorest 10% of the population.
Thanks to Veterans for Peace former president Mike Ferner for these stats.

My boys love sports. They play all kinds. However, we usually have a break from them in the summer and try to focus on fishing and camping. This doesn't mean my kids still don't want to play sports, though.
It's looking like this weekend is shaping up to be the first real shot of spring weather we're going to get this year. As far as I'm concerned, this calls for a celebration. What better way is there to do that than by kicking back in a lawn chair, soaking up the sun and sipping on a refreshing spring beverage.
If you are like pretty much everyone in America, you will be spending the fourth with family and/or friends. It's just one of those holidays that screams backyard get-together. I myself will be enjoying a fun-filled fourth with the ones I love and am planning on bringing a couple of these delicious ideas for the party
If you thought costume parties were just for kids, think again.

It's really the little things that make Carl from the Pixar movie 'Up' the perfect party costume -- the tennis balls on that PVC pipe walker are not only functional, they're also accurate. Okay, *technically* the tennis balls should be on a cane, but what are you going to do, fill a kid up on cake then give him essentially a big stick to swing around? That's a surefire way to ruin the cutest party ever.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on March 8, 2013
We regularly report on outrageous cases involving over-zealous school officials enforcing one-size-fits-all, zero-common sense, "zero-tolerance" rules.Well, here we go again. This latest outrage involves a seven-year-old Baltimore, Md. student who, according to a recent Daily Caller article, was suspended for two days for the horrendous act of shaping a breakfast pastry into what his teacher thought looked like a gun. According to the young student, he was eating a strawberry breakfast pastry during snack time and was biting off pieces in an attempt to shape it into a mountain. Apparently, the teacher thought the student's handiwork instead looked like a gun, and promptly escorted him to the principal's office. What's next, arresting a kid because he pulled an "assault banana" out of his lunchbox? Also outrageous is the case of a Florida high school student who was recently suspended for disarming a student who had a loaded gun.According to another Daily Caller article, the 16-year-old student was riding the bus home when he and other witnesses say a fight broke out among two other students. One of the students involved in the fight then pulled a loaded gun on the other student and allegedly claimed he was going to shoot that student.The 16-year-old and others eventually confronted the student gunman and disarmed him. Law enforcement officials later confirmed that the firearm was loaded.The next day, the 16-year-old was given a three-day suspension for taking part in what the school called an "incident."According to the article, the unnamed 16-year-old student said he's certain his actions prevented a murder: "I think he was really going to shoot him right then and there. He was going to shoot him point blank."
The 16-year-old's mother--also unnamed--said school officials told her that her son was suspended because he was too scared to cooperate in the subsequent investigation.
What we have here are two very different cases, with two similarly ridiculous outcomes.We all can agree that we want our children to be safe at school, and that reasonable safety measures should be followed. But what about a well-reasoned response? When school administrators allow "zero-tolerance" to become "zero-common sense," we've gone beyond unreasonable and arrived at outrageous.

Donna Karan, Wyclef Jean, and Mary J. Blige Host a Benefit for Haiti
Mary J. Blige belts it out at the benefit. From PatrickMcMullan.com.
"I just wanna kiss your toes, Russell," auctioneer Whoopi Goldberg gushed after Russell Simmons placed the opening bid on a Robert De Niro restaurant package at the Hope, Help & Relief Haiti launch at the Urban Zen Center on Monday night. The benefit's vibe was less gala, more family reunion. Designer Donna Karan and rapper Wyclef Jean go way back. Before Wyclef's days in the Fugees, he worked in Karan's Garment District stock room. "He fell asleep on the job!" Karan recounted. "Hundreds of dollars of merchandise were stolen during his nap." When introduced to Karan, Wyclef apologized for the ill-timed respite and said he'd write her a check.
"Honey, I have to pay you back!" Karan replied, thanking the Haitian singer for his commitment to the cause. With Mary J. Blige, Wyclef headlined the benefit.
Both Karan and Wyclef are paying it forward by joining forces with Andre Harrell, Mary J. Blige, and André Balazs to raise funds for Wyclef's Yele Haiti foundation, Habitat for Humanity, and Partners in Health.Fashion doyennes Anna Wintour and Carolina Herrera exchanged pleasantries over dinner. Reverend Al Sharpton made an appearance but took off before the main course. Later, Veronica Webb and Polo's David Lauren nibbled rice pudding as Blige delivered an outstanding, hour-long performance.
"She's singing like a bird tonight," said U2's The Edge before rejoining R.E.M.'s reclusive front man, Michael Stipe.
After the show, Simmons absconded with his leggy date, and punk legend Patti Smith greeted another benefit organizer, Mitch Davis. In manner and smile, Davis resembles his father, Clive, who helped launch Smith's career 35 years ago. "It's wonderful to come together for a cause so worthy just a week after the Grammys," Davis said. "What's better is that 100 percent of this evening's donations are going to help the people of Haiti."
Fashion's front-row favorites Tinsley Mortimer, Emma Snowdon-Jones, Tory Burch, and Rachel Zoe ended the night at a raucous after-party at the Standard Hotel's Boom Boom Room, where Wyclef and Blige performed a duet.
Jay-Z also took in the penthouse performance. He sported a hoodie, but not Beyoncé.

He starts January 1.
From Gaga's meat dress to Eve's fig leaf.

"Paris needs some new things, some stimulation."
Some say it looks like Zara's, others say it looks like a chocolate box.
Here's Karlie on Vogue Japan.
Vogue Paris got an exclusive interview.
She has purple hands!
Whether or not the brand had anything to do with this remains a mystery.
In other words, the company's official name will stay the same.
But only buyers know what it looks like.
"All Hedi's decisions are brilliant."
"I am happy that Stefano Pilati is gone, just as I was happy when Tom Ford left."
They're just changing the name back to its original 1966 version, you see.
They're dropping the "Yves."
More or less than the merchandise inside?

The AD8216 is a single-supply, difference amplifier ideal for amplifying small differential voltages in the presence of large common-mode voltages. The operating input common-mode voltage range extends from −4 V to +65 V. The typical supply voltage is 5 V. The AD8216 features a 3 MHz bandwidth, allowing for the input-to-output propagation delay that is always less than 150 ns. This feature is ideal for applications monitoring rapidly increasing and decreasing load currents.
The AD8216 is offered in a SOIC package. The operating temperature range is −40°C to +125°C.
Excellent ac and dc performance over temperature keep errors in the measurement loop to a minimum. Offset and gain drift are guaranteed to a maximum of 20 μV/°C and 15 ppm/°C, respectively.
The output offset can be adjusted from 0.06 V to 4.9 V with a 5 V supply by using the VREF1 pin and the VREF2 pin. With the VREF1 pin attached to the V+ pin and the VREF2 pin attached to the GND pin, the output is set at half scale. Attaching both VREF1 and VREF2 to GND causes the output to be unipolar, starting near ground. Attaching both VREF1 and VREF2 to V+ causes the output to be unipolar, starting near V+. Other offsets can be obtained by applying an external voltage to VREF1 and VREF2.

More reviewers say 'yes' to indie authors today, but getting noticed is still an uphill climb
February 26, 2013 | 10:10 pm
Allen Schatz published his first book two years ago. After things didn't work out with an agent, he went the self-publishing route and knew he had to market on his own, which meant contacting reviewers. Some said yes, many said no. But Schatz noticed a change in the business around this time and self-publishing didn't seem like a death sentence for his writing career. "By the time my former agent released me, things had changed enough for me to go the self-publishing route," said Schatz, whose first book was Game 7: Dead Ball.

Book bloggers help self-publishers promote their work
February 4, 2012 | 2:26 am
In the last few years, Amazon's Kindle publishing facilities have sparked a self-publishing revolution. Everyone from established authors with backlist titles to new wanna-bes who can't get publisher attention has been able to send their words out over the Internet for others to buy. We tend to assign most of the credit for that to those very facilities, but on NovelPublicity.com, Novelist Terri Giuliano Long blogs that there's another element that should share in the credit—book bloggers. Long feels that book bloggers plugging her book In Leah's Wake are the main reason it was able to sell 80,000 copies...

Bond Convexity: The Relationship Between Price and Yield
Last week we discussed bond duration. This week, we're talking convexity.
If you didn't read the duration piece, please go back and do so. I'm going to rely heavily on it in this piece.
Last week, we talked about how you can use duration to estimate how much the price of a bond will change if its yield changes. In the example we used, a bond with a duration of 6.4 years will go up about 6.4% in price if its yield drops by 1% (100 basis points), and down about 6.4% in price if its yield rises by 100 basis points.
If duration describes the approximate relationship between price and yield, convexity describes the actual relationship between price and yield.Take a look at this graph. For now, just concentrate on the red line, which describes the relationship between price and yield for a standard, noncallable bond. (We'll get to callable bonds in a little bit.)
