Yes, thank you Jean. The tornados were in Northern Alabama, and I am in Central Alabama. We were fortunate in only getting a little needed rain. kay |
So glad you only got needed rain,Kay.Last night we had tornados every where and the sirens just kept going off. I spent several hours sitting in the closet, since they kept saying to take cover and get in a small room with no windows.Closets are the only places with no windows here.Even the bathroom has a big window in it.Every thing got quiet about 11 last night, then I came out of the closet and went to bed. jean |

LEGO ATM Doesn't Charge Any Fees for Withdrawals
If you're a regular Technabob reader, I think it's clear that you can make just about anything using LEGO bricks. Take for instance, this ATM machine, made using LEGO NXT components.
LEGO-master Ronald McCrae's incredible Brick Bank ATM can accept an ATM card and store account balances in its internal customer database. Just like the real thing, it can check for a correct PIN number, and hold onto your card if you enter the wrong number more than three times. It can even make change from paper money, and be calibrated to accept any currency.
Amazingly, this thing is almost entirely constructed from off-the-shelf LEGO bits. Ronald only added a HiTechnic IRLink and a Codatex RFID sensor to read the ATM cards. Funny thing is, I trust this ATM with my money much more than the ones that run on Windows.

Dear Delegates and Faculty Advisors,
I am thrilled to invite you to apply to the sixty-second session of Harvard Model United Nations, to be held from Thursday, January 29, to Sunday, February 1, 2015 at the Sheraton Boston Hotel. Under the guidance of a staff of more than 200 Harvard University undergraduates, delegates will experience the challenges of negotiation by assuming the roles of UN representatives and members of other decision-making bodies. More than 3,000 delegates and 300 faculty advisors from around the United States and world will convene to confront and debate issues of international import.
Registration for our upcoming session opened on May 1 and is now closed. Further descriptions of conference logistics, along with dates, deadlines, and our Country Assignment Sheet, are available on this page.
For over six decades, HMUN has utilized principles of experiential learning to teach delegates not only how to debate and approach issues in international relations, but also essential skills, such as public speaking, diplomacy, negotiation, and compromise. During HMUN, the education experience is supplemented with presentations by Harvard professors and other guest speakers—who are often the foremost experts in their field—along with multimedia elements and challenging crises. Outside of the committee room, HMUN 2015 is proud to present events such as the College & Summer Opportunities Fair, Cultural Extravaganza, and programming for faculty advisors.
The vast array of topics and committees will further ensure a uniquely engaging and thought-provoking experience for each and every delegate, from the UN Conference on the Environment and Development to Weimar Germany Cabinet, 1919. Note that Regional Body committees are assigned with General Assembly country assignments and committees, although they are listed within the Economic and Social Council & Regional Bodies.
Whether you have attended HMUN for years or will be participating for the first time, I look forward to seeing you in Boston. Until then, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, comments, or concerns.
Ruth D. Kagan

Got this as a "deluxe sample" with my Sephora points. I love it just below my brows to emphasize the arch and I also use it on the inner rim of the lower lash line. I had always read that this color on the inner lower rime will brighten the whites of your eyes...BINGO! Great product!

I love this pencil - the only problem is that I can't find many sharpeners that fit the big tip. Luckily, I picked up one at Sally Beauty Supply. Anyway, this pencil adds light without shimmer - perfect for days when you want subtle highlighting. Yes, I would buy again.

Swedish Government Solicits Applicants for National, Regional, Local DAB+
Stockholm - Jun 8, 2012 - In October 2010 the Swedish government decided to allocate two frequencies for digital radio transmissions. While the two frequencies will be used across the entire country, 34 specific regions are encompassed. The Swedish government's Authority for Radio and TV, working in conjunction with the Post and Telecom Agency, determined that marketplace results should drive the decision as to what transmission scheme to use; DAB+ has been chosen. Applicants that wish to make use of the proposed new facilities are now being sought.
Each of the two multiplex frequencies will be able to carry up to 16 different services. Applicants can see authorization for nation,regional or local coverage; the government will assess the extent to which the applicant's wishes can be met. More specific information (in Swedish) is online.
The deadline for applications is Oct. 1, 2012; permits are due to be issued starting as early as Jan. 1, 2013.

Researchers scramble to put mouse cancer models on solid footing.
Covering the life sciences inside and out
Researchers scramble to put mouse cancer models on solid footing.
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute this week released three short films to teach students about evolution and speciation.
Germ-free or antibiotic-treated mice fare worse than those with rich gut microbiomes during cancer treatment, two studies show.
Two genes from the Y chromosome are sufficient to generate male mice capable of fathering healthy offspring via an assisted reproductive technique.
Scientists show that mice housed at room temperature are less able to fight tumors.
New analysis suggests that domestic dogs evolved from European wolves that interacted with human hunter-gatherers.
Sage Bionetworks aims to show that transparency and sharing are key to ensuring research reproducibility.
Researchers develop a strategy for rendering a toxic drug harmless—until it encounters a pair of enzymes that signals cancer cells are nearby.
Common mutations in metastasized breast tumors suggest how the cancer can develop resistance to frontline drugs.

Hilly Kristal 1932-2007
[b]Hilly Kristal[/b] was in many ways an unlikely figure to become the godfather of punk. Born in 1932 and growing up on a farm in rural New Jersey, he had started out with ambitions to be a jazz singer. When that failed he managed the Village Vanguard jazz club in Greenwich Village, booking acts such as [b]Miles Davis[/b]. Then in 1973 he opened his own club in New York's notoriously insalubrious Bowery called [b]CBGB[/b]. The name originally stood for ''country, bluegrass, blues'' but his intention to create a roots music venue didn't last long - in fact no longer than the day he put up the awning boasting the new club's name when he was approached by ''three scruffy dudes in torn jeans.''
They turned out to be [b]Tom Verlaine[/b], [b]Richard Hell[/b] and [b]Richard Lloyd[/b] from an unknown band called [b]Television[/b] and they became one of the first acts to play the new venue. On their second CBGB's gig, they were supported by an equally unknown group from Queens called the [b]Ramones[/b].
With a booking policy that eschewed 'name' bands in favour of local and
unsigned groups who played their own material, CBGB's swiftly became the epicentre of an underground scene that also saw the likes of the
[b]Heartbreakers[/b], the Stilettos (soon to find fame as Blondie) and [b]Talking Heads[/b] launching their careers on the ramschackle stage bult by Kristal himself from bits of scrapwood.
Another to get a start at CBGB's was [b]Patti Smith[/b], who after a support slot there to Television in '75 was given a legendary seven week residency which had the likes of [b]Allen Ginsberg[/b] and [b]Andy Warhol[/b] finding their way through the skid row of Bowery bums, winos and other derelicts to catch her set.
By then, stories of the extraordinary scene that had coalesced around the club had reach Britain and in '75 NME sent Charles Shaar Murray to
investigate. His wildly enthusiastic reports of the bands he saw at CBGB's helped to ignite the UK's own parallel punk scene.
After punk's demise, Kristal continued to run CBGB's as arguably the most famous rock venue in America until 2006, when he was evicted by the building's owners, anxious to cash in on the gentrification of the Bowery and the proliferation of multi-million dollar loft conversations of the flophouses and low-rent dives that had once dominated its mean streets.
He talked off opening a new club with the same name in Las Vegas, but
illness meant that the plan never came to fruition. Perhaps it was just as well for a CBGB's sitting between Caesar's Palace and the Tropicana simply wouldn't have been the same.

Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong is a New Orleans legend who still lives in the hearts of musicians and jazz lovers the world over. A central figure in the development of early New Orleans jazz, Satchmo became a world-renowned star that helped to put New Orleans and its monumental genre on the map of the music world. And the city celebrates his legacy still today.
New Orleans' Satchmo SummerFest, held this year from July 31st through August 3rd, 2014 at and surrounding the Louisiana State Museum's Old U.S. Mint in the French Quarter, is one of many summer festivals that occur in the city each year. But it is memorable in its own right due to the curated music, food and events that are intended to represent all that Satchmo and his contributions are to New Orleans.
The music schedule will be released in early July, but past festivals have included such artists as Kermit Ruffins, Leroy Jones, Jeremy Davenport, Ellis Marsalis, Wycliffe Gordon and Allen Toussaint, in addition to one of last year's special guests, Japanese trumpeter Yoshio Toyama. Each year, dozens of local trumpeters, jazz musicians and more congregate on all four days of New Orleans' Satchmo SummerFest to celebrate the music and traditions of Satchmo and New Orleans jazz.

Hotels in Sweden
The best hotels in Sweden can get pricy during the high season, and especially on weekends. If your trip includes several stops, you may want to play around with your itinerary and see if you can save by, for example, staying in Stockholm or Gothenburg midweek. Almost all hotels in Sweden include breakfast in the room rate, and this is often a lavish spread of cheeses, breads, smoked fish, muesli, yogurt, and pastries—as well as coffee and tea.
The Hotel Anno 1647 in Stockholm's hopping Södermalm neighborhood combines two historic buildings (one was once a tobacco factory, the other a clothing one) with contemporary interiors. The rooms have rustic pine floors, crystal chandeliers, and blackout drapes—essential in a city that gets 18 hours of sunlight a day in the summer. There's a complimentary breakfast of homemade yogurt and knäckerbröd (crispy bread).
Another popular option among Sweden hotels is the Hotel Diplomat, also in Stockholm on the grand boulevard Strandvagen, overlooking the harbor. The 1911 Art Nouveau building is a striking white, with ornate scrolling, narrow balconies, and arched windows. The 130 rooms are individually decorated with bright white walls, floral patterns, and muted colors.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving

Sessions 2 and 3 provide opportunities for participants to design specific action plans to implement their own creative ideas of how to increase opportunities to connect to people in congregations and beyond. In this session, participants explore ways to use technologies for communication, particularly social media, to connect in new ways.
(5 minutes)
Welcome participants. Light the chalice and read the chalice lighting words of your choosing. Note: Since this session is about technology, consider lighting the chalice using the Illuminations app on a smartphone or showing the video of Peter Mayer's song, "Holy Now," on the welcome page of the Church of the Larger Fellowship's website, Quest for Meaning. If you choose one of these options, take a little time to show participants the app or the Quest for Meaning web page.
Invite participants to share any reflections from the previous session. Review the covenant created in Session 1. Does anything need to be added, changed, or deleted?
(15 minutes)
Break group into teams for Social Media Reverse Quiz Game! Have the teams face off by reading the descriptions in turn to each group, and seeing which team is first to come up with a question to match (Example: Description—vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Response—What are ice cream flavors?). Write each correct response on newsprint (e.g. What is Facebook?). Optional: Give the winning team prizes. Ask them if they would like to for everyone to receive a prize. After they say yes, distribute prizes to everyone.
Read through the list of answers and ask for a show of hands to indicate users of each technology or program and willingness to share knowledge with others after the workshop. Note volunteers as you read the list. Ask if there are other social media sites people use in their everyday lives, such as Skype, and add them to the your list.
(30 minutes)
Distribute slips from Leader Resource 2 to volunteers and ask them to read the facts aloud. Discuss, using the following questions:
Point out the questions you have written on newsprint. Ask participants to divide into small groups of four or five and discuss the questions. Give each group newsprint and a marker and tell them they will have 15 minutes to discuss the questions and prepare to report back their responses to the large group.
Ask each group to display their newsprint and report back to the group, paying special attention to their responses to the third question. Use consensus to decide upon one action that congregation can take. Solicit and record names of volunteers willing to help complete the action and names of others from the congregation who might be asked to help. Ask the volunteers to meet after the workshop for five minutes to schedule a meeting to start work on the action.
Display the Vision for the Unitarian Universalism: Congregations and Beyond page on UUA.org or the screen shot you have created. Note the resources that are available on the page. Say, "The UUA staff want to facilitate your congregation's participation in Congregations and Beyond by acting as a hub for ideas and activities." Ask participants to suggest ways the UUA staff might support your faith community's Congregations and Beyond efforts.
If you have Internet access, follow the Facebook link at the bottom of the page. If not, display the screen shot you have prepared. Read aloud some of the posts from Unitarian Universalists Exploring Congregations and Beyond. Invite your group to come up with a message to add to the discussion group wall. What does Congregations and Beyond mean to your congregation? What would you like ask the broader Unitarian Universalist community? What action have you decided upon to make better use of social media? If you are viewing the page via screenshot rather than live, decide who will post to the Facebook page later on.
Distribute copies of Leader Resource 3, Find Out More and/or collect email addresses and distribute it electronically.
Remind participants of the date and time of the next workshop. Read these closing words, written by UUA Intern Stefani Ruper, and extinguish the chalice:
The Congregations and Beyond initiative is, when it comes down to it, the simple endeavor to explore UU spirituality beyond congregational walls, however that might be appropriate to each individual's life, spirit, and mission. This may be through new forms of UU connectivity. It may also be through new forms of connecting with the wider world. Or it may even more likely be (based on the bold aspirations and life and love of Unitarian Universalists the world over) a synergistic endeavor to engage and to live faithfully both.
For more information contact conglife @ uua.org.

My time with the MSI H55M-ED55 was not too bad. I did fond that the combination of angled and straight SATA ports was not ideal. If you are using an SFF case it can become a truly annoying task to plug in a new SATA drive with the board mounted in a case. The same can be said for the PATA port at the bottom of the board. It is in an awkward place on its own and is even worse if you have a card in the single PCI slot.
The pin-headers are another problem. They all look identical; the USB headers look just like the front panel header, the com-port header and almost all of the others on the board. I think that MSI needs to think about using different color blocks to help the headers stand out better to someone building a system.

Forum post of the day: Born with a plastic spoon {WoW}
Aug 18th 2008 9:49AM Okay, first of all, I just wrote a massive anti elitest rant because I notice a lot of them falling out of the woodwork latley, I deleted it because I dont want to read their bitching rants, who wants to read mine right?
But seriosly, I have re-rolled on a lot of servers and I dont know what these people are talking about, a level 20 with level 12 skills....? I have even been able to level Tailoring/Enchanting, Mining/Blacksmithing, Leatherworking/Skinnings, toons as a first character and still have money for my skills, mount, and a little bit of "extra gear". Has it been that long that these people have forgotten what its like to put together the best you can with quest/drop gear? There is a line you have to draw when your leveling, what is more important, gear or skills. Now, depending on your toon you can avoid certain skills that you know you wont use for a while and get them later (ie rightous defense for pallys at low levels, sentry totem etc) but you just cant afford the prices of the AH to regear blues every 3 or 4 levels, it just doesnt happen. If you try to I hope you can do A LOT of white dmg because your skills wont do diddly squat against the mobs your facing, especially casters who are likely to see "resist" come up a lot.
WoW Insider previews Wrath of the Lich King's Borean Tundra {WoW}
Aug 17th 2008 10:11AM Okay,maybe I am missing something, but the Nexus, home of Malygos, is in a STARTING AREA?! So Malygos, the original wielder of magic, imbued by the titans themselves to be one of the 5 aspects that essentially hold the world of azeroth together or at least from falling into complete chaos, is a LKnewb dungeon boss?! Yes lets down the strongest magic user known as a 75? elite. He's an aspect he should be stronger then Arthas. Even archimonde was scared of the ascpects on their own and actually shook when he saw 4 of them with their flights.
The Light and How to Swing It: The shocking truth in Beta {WoW}
Aug 17th 2008 9:51AM Wow this apparently stirred up some emotions, aparently you love or hate pallys in LK. Personally, I love them, I think all the changes are great. What holy/healing pallys are going to have to remember is with the gear normalization its going to change the way your talents effectively work in relation to your gear, and ranged dps spell gear will increase you healing and your dps.
And while this is a bit off topic, I wouldnt bank on that Righteous Shield staying all the way to live, or, if it does, bank on a nerf. We are already the kings of AoE ( I know mages technically have more AoE Dps but we have better survivability) and even with their changes Warriors AoE tank will be well, laughable as per usual. Now they are giving us a warriors 2nd biggest threat generator? Dont get me wrong, I would love the spell the way it is, and they demands for me to tank are going to go through the roof, however it just doesnt seam fair to warriors. But thats just me.

Aug 16th 2008 11:27AM I would like to see some more information about the seemingly improved AoE ability of Warriors. I dont get me wrong Rossi, I love your column but I am really interested to see the synergy between incite, cruelty, imp cleave, and imp tc. It might seam like a stretch, through the trees, especially going to teir 3 for a "lack-luster" talent like imp cleave, but a 20% chance to get a crit with it by talents alone, meaning probably an average geared leveling warrior will have a about a 30-40% chance to crit with TC, HS or Cleave and then of course imp cleave and tc inc dmg caused by those skills. Hell Imp Cleave + Incite + TG for leveling, with a bit of haste gear.....instead of tanking I might actually switch to fury/dps

Aug 14th 2008 2:37PM People who dont like the armor, it still fits for Rhonin being more of a battle mage and lore backing that he can use martial weapons almost as well as magic.
And other then you know, killing his own people without caring, turning against his people, making pacts with nefarious demons, killing hundreds of innocents, and then taking control of the legion in outlands, whats so bad about the fact that Rhonin helped Illidain learn who to harness his magic better. He didnt teach, Illidian was already a potent caster when he met rhonin and already the most powerful sorcerer amoungs the NE

If The White House Can Do It…
… why can't we?
It was announced yesterday that the White House IT folks have released some of their Drupal modules to the open source community. I am used to thinking of government as a dusty dinosaur whose bureaucracy keeps it behind the times. So this surprised me.
It seems we lack institutional support and direction on contributing to open source here at UNH. Is this true? We certainly use open source like gangbusters; we'll take all the quality free software we can get. But do we contribute back? Are we feeding the virtuous circle, or simply leeching it?
In the midst of trying to better monetize our intellectual property, who amongst our best minds can articulate the corners where capital isn't actually king?
And, why do I rant like this? Probably because I am more mad at myself than anything for not having made a meaningful contribution to computing in the public domain.
I just want to be like the White House staff, and do it on the clock. ;)

The offensive woes of late - While Duke has struggled in conference games offensively, averaging 70.6 ppg, they still remain third in the conference overall at 78.2. During yesterday's press conference, Krzyzewski openly joked about his offense in the last couple of games before taking on a serious tone saying, "We're still trying to find our identity offensively. But we are trying to find ways of incorporate more people, not just the three point shot. We need to put ourselves in a position to get fouled a little bit more and get it into the post. Not just the post for big men, but Gerald. We're still very much developing there. The offense has got to get better." Duke is clearly waiting for the offense to come into its own but with eight regular season games left it has become a concern. "Our offense takes on the identity of our key players," said Krzyzewski who will adjust his offense to roster personnel.
The defense is solid -"Our defense and rebounding is up a notch or two from last year and that's why we've won," said Krzyzewski. The Blue Devils are letting
up just 61.0 ppg, but they will be tested like no other game versus UNC who averages 92.3 ppg.
Rebounding is solid - Duke is third in the conference in rebounding despite their lack of depth inside. The team has bought into how important this is. UNC will surely try to dominate the glass in Cameron and it'll take one of Dukes better efforts to offset this.
Dave McClure -A huge plus of late has been the outstanding play of Dave McClure who is showing senior leadership. "David has always been a solid player in our program and a part time starter. What he's done this year is be an outstanding defender and the ultimate role player. He's done a lot of little things that end up being big things. In the game Saturday, he's probably good for gaining 18 possessions for us – thirteen on rebounds and five keeping the ball alive. That's a lot of points and there is no stats for that," said Krzyzewski of his play. He went on to say his role was similar to what Dennis Rodman use to do for the Bulls which is high praise.
Greg Paulus will start- Kryzewski announced that Greg Paulus would start on Wednesday. "Greg didn't so much re-earn his spot, he will start obviously
against, or maybe not so obviously against Carolina. Greg played a great game on Saturday. He did that while we as a group were going through a very adverse time. When somebody steps up when we are going through adversity, that's the best. He played a great game, he was all over the place," said Krzyzewski. He went on to say that Paulus has dealt with a lot of frustration not being able to prepare in the off season for his senior year due to injury.
Nolan Smith is okay and ready as well -"This is a good thing for Nolan. Nolan is a much developing player. He's played really good basketball for us. All of a sudden you are in intense conference play and we are not functioning well offensively puts even more pressure on him," said Krzyzewski. Expect to see both Smith and Paulus play together some versus UNC and Smith is still considered to be a starter. Smith later stated that he was okay with the decision, but it was clear it may have motivated him a bit to for now, lose his spot at the "1" position.
Gerald Henderson- "For over a month now, he's been pretty good," said Krzyzewski, calling him their most established player offensively. Henderson keyed a second half run versus Miami but had only two points in the first half. "In the first half, he was more of a shooter and in the second half he attacked. He has to remember that's who he is." said Coach.
Kyle Singler -"Physically, he's okay. He's just playing like a warrior. Maybe he needs to be a little bit more precise on his technique when shooting. He's missed some lay ups that have been in and out. He just needs to keep doing it. We need f
or him to stay aggressive, but physically he's okay," said Krzyzewski. Singler had been sick but is better now. In short Duke wants him to shoot through his many drought.
How to slow the UNC offense- Krzyzewski said it would be a huge challenge and that it would take a team effort to slow them down. He also made reference to how important bench play would be in this game. "To win big games you try to play well for forty minutes and that's what we are going to try to do and they are going to try an not let us play well," stated Krzyzewski.
Interesting K quote- "None of my players are where I want them to be because I always want them to be better."
Closing K quote – "You know, we get a chance to play a game of this level. Not many programs in the United States would ever play this level of game and we get to play it twice. Historically, this game has helped both programs win or lose because you've been tested. I think that's the most important … over the years Duke and Carolina have made each other better. It's a good game to be at and a heck of a game to be in." He went on to say that the most relevant thing in this game is that both teams were 7-2 in the conference and atop the conference coming into the game.

We're excited to announce that Sam Minnee, SilverStripe's CTO and the architect behind our framework has been invited to speak at the OSCON software conference next week in Portland, on "Ending Rails Envy in PHP5":
PHP5 introduced a number of more flexible language constructs that let us create software in more elegant ways. Sam will show you how he used these in the development of his CMS to create a framework to do things that are normally thought to be beyond the reach of "simple" languages like PHP:
- Automatically generate functions based to support manipulation of a data-object model.
- Aggregations – change the behaviour of classes, or add more methods to them, without resorting to inheritance
- Add methods to a class or object at run time
The talk will cover some of the different approaches that he tried to implement this functionality, the pitfalls to be aware of, and explain the implementation currently being used in SilverStripe CMS, and how it is performing in production systems.
Sam's talk runs is on Wednesday 25th July at 4.30-5.15 in "Portland 255" room.
(We are also speaking at a free session a few days earlier)

Ruby on rails not only became popular because of the flexibility of Ruby, but also because if its scaffolding. Yet the user interfaces Rails' native scaffolding produces are very basic. This is because scaffolding was only seen as a technique for prototyping and a starting point for building applications. Nowadays plugins exist for Ruby on Rails that take scaffolding a lot farther, not just doing CRUD but also relations and searching, and oing it dynamically in production environments too. There's an interesting article about it on IBM Developerworks titled "Turbocharge Ruby on Rails with ActiveScaffold". These plugins are now becoming very popular (ActiveScaffold had over 36.000 downloads (dd july 2007) ). It looks like extended scaffolding is the new trend in the Rails community. Extended scaffolding can be done in PHP too. In fact the phpPeanuts framework has been doing it since it's very first beta dd march 2004 (that's right, that is before the first Rails beta on ruby force). PhpPeanuts has been designed for this right from the start and has accumulated 4 years of experience. You don't need to wait for another Rails clone to be ported to PHP, you can download it right now. For more information see www.phpPenauts.org. There's a hyperlink to a page about Ruby on Rails that contains a link to the article on IBM Developerworks.

That sounds great. Unfortunately I'm UK based and won't be able to attend. I'd love to see some slides (especially on mixins/aggregation without inheritance). Sam - will you be posting the presentation here?

Function or Fashion: What do your teens wear to school in the winter?
My high school daughter left for school the other day in her sneakers. If it weren't for the fact that our driveway is a bit of a hill and we're surrounded by mounds of snow, and the day before were slammed with 6 more inches of snow and an ice storm significant enough to close school for the afternoon and evening I'd think nothing of it.

All About CeCe Jones!
Cecelia "CeCe" Amanda Jones is one of the two lead female characters in the TV series, Shake It Up. She is very unpredictable. She enjoys her time dancing in dance competitions, competing against others and having slumber parties. CeCe is also is very energetic and is described as "a daring wild child who is uncontrollable, funky, and fun, likes tomatoes" on the school blog ("Wild It Up"). Bella Thorne plays CeCe in Shake It Up.
Rocky Blue is CeCe's best friend. She is the ying to CeCe's yang. While they both harbor a love of dancing, Rocky is a good student who isn't a troublemaker while CeCe is wild and usually has Rocky do her homework. The episodes where they have had minor arguments are "Kick It Up", "Party It Up", "Wild It Up", "Heat It Up" and "Reunion It Up". Ty and CeCe have a close relationship. They have several things in common such as a love for dancing and flirting. In "Model It Up" Ty and CeCe hugged (with Deuce and Flynn also). when they thought Rocky was leaving. In, "Show It Up" CeCe grabs Ty's leg when she's begging for him to help her and Rocky in the talent show. CeCe, along with Rocky takes Ty and Deuce to the Olivie Pit in "Meatball It Up". Deuce Martinez is one of Rocky and CeCe's friends. He sells stuff such as obstructive view tickets with a complimentary watch. He is said to be in the know on inside things. He was the person to show Rocky and CeCe the flyer containing information on auditions for the dance show, "Shake It Up, Chicago".CeCe is constantly making fun of Deuce and interfering in his love life. In "Match It Up", Deuce thinks CeCe wants to be more than friends with him and after being "rejected" by Deuce, CeCe wonders what he doesn't like about her. CeCe and Deuce's friendship might be headed for a BF-GF relationship as hinted in several episodes. Flynn is CeCe's younger brother, who often annoys her. He is said to be "wise beyond his years" and causes a lot of trouble. Whenever CeCe and Rocky go somewhere he turns into a super-cowboy in his underwear with a water gun ("Kick It Up"). Gunther is a "frenemy" of CeCe and Rocky, fraternal twin to Tinka Hessenheffer and former date of CeCe's, although they never truly were boyfriend and girlfriend. They (Gunther and Tinka) are also on Shake It Up! Chicago alongside Cece and Rocky. Gunter and Cece often don't get along, but Rocky forced CeCe to go to the dance with Gunther when it was thought that he was about to move back to the "old country" due to an advice webcast gone wrong, thanks to Cece. At the end, Gunther dumps Cece even though they were never going out because the person who was actually moving to the "old country" ended up to be one of Gunther and Tinka's cousins ("Hot Mess It Up"). Gunther mentored CeCe and Rocky in modeling in "Model It Up". Tinka is a rival of CeCe and Rocky, and they are also on Shake It Up! Chicago. Cece doesn't hang out with Tinka unless she is very desperate for someone to hang out with ("Kick It Up"). ■ She has dyslexia ("Add It Up"). In real-life, CeCe's actress, Bella Thorne, also has dyslexia. ■ She was the last person who was cast on Shake It Up! Chicago. ■ Her parents are divorced ("Heat It Up"). ■ She struggles in school and is not very studious. ■ She is really short and there's a running gag about her height. ■ She is obsessed with boys. ■She hates small spaces ("Party It Up"). ■ She's a fan of Katy Perry ("Vatalihootsit It Up"). ■ She thinks she won the Little Miss Beauty Queen beauty pageant of 2005 ("Glitz It Up"). ■ She once impersonated a lawyer and a witness at the same time. ("Wild It Up") ■ She has a jacket written "CeCe" in it. ("Hook It Up") ■ "Oh, mamazitta!" ■(On the phone) "Let's hang, let's go crazy, let's go meet BOYS! Call me back. Love you, Grandma." ■ "Oh, I'm sorry, hi, I'm Cece." ■ "Show me a sponge, baby. Show me a sponge." ■ "We get to be on TV and they pay us!" ■ "Show me a sponge, baby, show me a sponge." ■ "Smack me in the face with a Kansas City Pickle!" ■ "Get your feet off the couch! Were you raised in a barn? Whoa, give me that glass, the coasters are there for a reason! And you, get a haircut, you look like a hoodlum! That's it everyone out, now!" ■ "No, you don't Rocky! You're a dancer on Shake It Up, Chicago. You already won, you already got first place--- let's go out and buy you a ribbon. Yayyy Rocky!" ■ "I'm the ocean. Wild, free, and unpredictable! And you're the... sand... Grounded, uh, always there!"...[Rocky]..."Not just in your sneakers. Sometimes, sand wins ■ "Mama doesn't eat until all her children get fed!" ■(On phone) "Mom... Just wait in the lobby. We'll be down there when we're done. No, I'm not asking Justin if he knows Barry Manilow!" ■ "I hate that you're not lousy at anything!" ■"Well, heloo-nooo!" ■ "That's not true Rocky. You're better at picking best friends." ■ [Rocky] "Wow no one ever took one of our offers before" [Cece] "Yeah haven't you ever heard of an empty jestur?" ■"Well stuff me in an ostrich and call me gulasto!" |

A letter in this week's Time Out New York's sex column, Get Naked, reminded me that sometimes it's the simplest things that can boggle a mind. A woman writes to columnist Jamie Bufalino:
I like dry sex with my husband, but it only happens a few times per month. I assume hormones are at work, but is there anything I can do to sustain this? Dehydration? I just feel so much more when everything is dry and not ruined by wetness.
At first, I thought, Oh, she likes dry humping with her husband … like they're a couple of teenagers … that's kinda cute, I guess … But I continued reading and realized, Oh she means actual dry sex, like with a dry vagina. Um, ew! I've never heard of this, have you? I mean, as far as fetishes or sexual preferences, or whatever, go, it's decidedly tame, but, still, a dry vagina? Really? I mean, wouldn't that feel … horrible? Bufalino isn't even a woman and he thinks so — his response to the letter writer after the jump. Keep reading »

Totally agree – got a rear wheel in July and it has been nothing short of superb. It has coped with the daily commute – including right through thr 'White Hell' without fault. Not silly money either. My eyes couldn't stand the fluro so went for purple instead. Great wheels and will buy from Halo again.
My eyes couldn't stand the fluro so went for purple instead.
Great wheels, got a factory built fixed/free rear on on my roadrat and built a rim up onto a planet x hub on the front. Use on and off road with cross tyres. Still smooth and true after plenty of abuse, and i'm no lightweight. Went for the rather boring black though.
I've got a rear yellow one on my commuter, almost don't need a rear light!!
Smart wheels! What make is that front brake hanger and did you have to drill the fork? My Pompino doesn't have a bolt hole on the front of the crown.
don_don – i think it's a Tektro hanger and yes i did have to drill the forks.
how do you know its the yellow rims people have noticed rather than the green tyres or crazy bar tape?
hot pink for me, a definite head turner…
Tim, you stood in front of me waiting for the train back from Manchester tonight, couldn't stop starring at the wheels, tyres and bar tape.
Gimme a nudge next time Sven.
Rims look very similar to the stock ones I got with my pompino (Sep 08 model). Tempted to get a yellow one as replacement when mine wear, very eye catching perfect for commuting. Don_Don you can get hangers that go on the steerer – assuming you have room for spacers under you stem.
Those rims combined with the (possible) fluro-yellow On One Pompetamine = DayGlo-tastic!
Gimme a nudge next time Sven.
Sven you will end up pregnant. Fact. -
TimK / Donk – cheers guys. I'm trying to get the bars a bit lower, but its putting the front brake cable through too much of a bend in the steerer mounted hangar. I'll check out that Tektro one and get me drill out!
With herpes. Fact.
yeo good wheels – got these on my pearson touche, though went with the black version
Is there a bike in the photo? I only see a wall…….

At this point, watching a split-screen feed of Team USA games where one half of the picture is basketball and the other half is Team USA reacting to various things that happen on the court might be more entertaining than the actual games. I mean between this and Kevin Durant's dunking dance, I can see this programming doing some big ratings, which is really all that matters. Get Dick Ebersol on the phone. He needs to hear this genius idea.

Our coal business in Australia was formed in July 2000, following Anglo American's purchase of Shell Coal.
As a well-established coal supplier to the Mediterranean and Atlantic region from South Africa and Colombia, we expanded our customer base into the growing Asian and Indian coal market.
At the time, Shell Coal's Australian employees totalled about 1,600 and its assets consisted of four underground and three open cut mines at five locations: Callide, Capcoal, Moranbah North, Drayton and Dartbrook.
In May 2002, we purchased a 51% share in Moura mine, with the remaining 49% held by Mitsui Moura Investment Pty Ltd. This alliance enabled both companies to expand their export metallurgical and thermal coal businesses in Queensland.
In December 2004, we announced with Mitsui the recapitalisation of Moura mine, to establish two additional operations on adjacent tenures. The new and expanded operations became known as Dawson, in place of the Moura mine name which had been used since the mine commenced operations in 1961.
In 2006, the Dartbrook Mine was placed under care and maintenance. In December 2007, we announced the acquisition of a 70% interest in the Foxleigh coal mine joint venture in Queensland, Australia. This investment of US$620 million (enterprise value for 70% of the interest of the Foxleigh mine) added to our already substantial and growing coal mining operations in the Bowen Basin, one of the world's premier coal regions. Steel industry giants POSCO and Nippon Steel, hold 20% and 10% interests respectively in a joint venture with us.

I have some not nice choice words for these bulletins. LOL Honestly, I'm not worried about the heat but potential lack of precipitation. Trying not to worry about it seein' I can't do jack about it. But really .... I hope we do not have a beautiful spring-like fall. Rather a wet ugly one would do better. |
Well, I do want a beautiful spring-like fall, with sunny, mild, clear gorgeous days. Let us have wet, ugly nights. That would be the best of both worlds. If I am going to hope for anything, it would be rain, but why can't it rain at night and be pretty all day? Our average high temperature around this time of year is 90-92 and our forecast is for 103. That just stinks. I am hoping for anything cooler than 103 since I'm not likely to get my wish for even 'average' high temps these next few days. I am listening to the local forecast and he does says the trough coming down from Canada should be here on Thursday or Friday. I hope he's right. I am in a "I'll believe it when I see it" frame of mind right now. |

Mesonet says we went to 102, but it was 104 in early afternoon at our house. It was very, very hot. |
Same here. I think Mesonet hit 101 or 102 but it was 105 here, and 107 few miles south of here. |

I dont know what the temp was, but it was way to hot. I went over to mow DD's lawn today, I live in western AR., she lives in eastern OK.. I doubt it is over 10 miles between our houses (as the crow flies). It was hot in both places, but much dryer at her house. Larry |

Hank Epperly, Christianburg,
Virginia lieutenant dies at 45
[Christiansburg, VA]
World News
Copyright 2000 The Roanoke Times & World News
Roanoke Times & World News
December 21, 2000, Thursday, NEW RIVER EDITIONS
(CHRISTIANSBURG, Va.) -- Christiansburg has lost one of its true public servants.
Hank Epperly, a lieutenant with the Christiansburg Police Department and a volunteer with the town's Rescue Squad, died early Wednesday at a Roanoke hospital from a heart attack he suffered Tuesday. He was 45.
"He really served the community, on duty and off," said Police Chief Gary Brumfield. "It's unbelievable. He took care of himself. He worked out. He ran. He was a fine man, a good family man."
Epperly had been with the department for 20 years and had been in charge of support services, mostly working with the investigations division.
"He recently completed the forensic science school in Richmond," Brumfield said. "He was a real asset to the Police Department. He was a fine employee, and he will be sadly missed."
Epperly was also an emergency medical technician and a dive team member with the Christiansburg Rescue Squad, volunteer work he had done for the past eight years. In his spare time, he hunted in the same club as rescue squad Capt. Kelly Walters.
"Everything he did was first-class," Walters said. "He's going to be hard to replace. In fact, we can't replace him."
What triggered the heart attack Tuesday morning is still unknown, Walters said.
The news reverberated through police departments across the valley. Officers, who see the law-enforcement community as one big family, faced the day in somber moods.
"They lost a good one," said Lt. Bruce Bradbery of the Blacksburg Police Department. "Christiansburg just lost a huge chunk of its community, and law enforcement in the New River Valley just lost a huge chunk of its community."
Epperly is survived by his wife, Elaine, and a son, John, both of Christiansburg.
Funeral services are scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday at St. Paul United Methodist Church in Christiansburg.

Minocra Map Tutorial
Fairly quick but not that dirty
I'm working on the Isle of Minocra map and thought a quick tutorial would be useful.
For this project, I'm using MapGen2 to create the initial map, then importing it into Photoshop where I'll superimpose one of my hex templates and add symbols.
I'm assuming you have some passing familiarity with MapGen2 and how it works. The trick is getting a screen capture of the map you want. I've tried several monitor resolution settings to get a decent on-screen size, but as long as the capture is square (i.e., same width and height), you're fine.
- Use the MapGen2 tool to create a map.
- Select "Perlin" from the Island Shape section.
- Click the "Random" button until you find an island shape you like.
- Select the "2D Slopes" view.
- Use a screen capture tool to copy the map image and convert it to PNG format.
I'm assuming you are using Photoshop. If you don't have Photoshop, you might try GIMP, which is free, and (as I understand it) supports many Photoshop-like features.
- Create a new image that's 8.5″ x 11″ and 300dpi (you want the high-res so that you can read the hex numbers later). Leave this image open in Photoshop.
- Open the desired hex template in Photoshop (note: the PDF versions in the hex template download are 300dpi, so they'll work fine).
- Drag the hex template's "Background" layer into the new image.
- Open the MapGen2 image in Photoshop.
- Drag the map's "Background" layer into the new image.
- In the new image, re-size the map image to fill the hex template.
- Move the map image layer (Layer 2) below the hex template layer (Layer 1). The hex template will cover the map image.
- Select the hex template layer (Layer 1) and change it from "Normal" to "Multiply." This will make the white background of the hex template transparent so the map image shows through. [1]
- Save the file in Photoshop's native PSD format because you want to preserve the layers. (The file will be big (~41 MB) because it's hi-res—if anyone knows how to make this file smaller, please share the knowledge.)
Most mapping software packages include symbols. And, truth be told, most of these symbols are pretty good. However, if you're working with image software to produce your maps, it's best to have your symbols in the form of a font. This saves you the time of creating them yourself, and they're easy to replicate with precision from map to map.
- Download and install the Carta-Normal TrueType font. [2] N.B. Before the font shows up in Photoshop, you'll need to save your work, close Photoshop, and re-open your map.
- To place a symbol, select the Text tool and switch to the Carta-Normal font.
- Type the letter or ALT-key combination of the symbol you want (see the Carta Normal Symbols PDF at right). Photoshop creates a new layer automatically, which I name after the hex number, but you can use whatever naming system works best for you.
- Select the text and adjust the point size and colour to make it stand out on the map (I recommend a red, yellow, or orange to make it easy to see against the map background).
- Select the text layer you've just created and apply an Outer Glow layer style.
- In the Outer Glow style dialogue, change the Blend Mode to "Linear Dodge (Add)" and choose the "Foreground to Background" style from the Gradient Picker. This outlines the symbol with a white highlight.
Continue placing symbols on your map repeating the process at Step #3, above, until you've placed all the symbols you need by copying an existing symbol, moving it to a new spot on the map, and changing the character. This preserves the formatting and helps keep your symbols consistent. If desired, add a map key that describes what each symbol is (though you can easily refer to the Carta Normal Symbols PDF).
Last, if you're into the OCD, don't forget to label each symbol on the map (for random names, I like EBoN for its large number of culture libraries). Maybe draw a road or two. Whatevs.
Final Words
This is a quick and dirty tutorial (written by someone who's not a Photoshop wizard). I'm certain the experienced among you can devise some shortcuts to reduce time spent (not to mention filesize), but this should be enough to get you going.
Next up, I'll provide short descriptions for each location on the map, in a style that fits your busy GM schedule.
- Thanks to Reese for pointing this out.
- This is a free download from SearchFreeFonts.com. As far as I can tell, you're free to use the font in your commercial work.

April 1 Program: Ecotherapy – Healing With Nature in Mind This program will feature Sue Westwind on Nature Therapy. This discipline, also known as ecotherapy, asserts that emotional disorders do not exist separate from the crisis experienced by our Earth. Furthermore, evidence abounds that time spent in green space and on nature-focused activities can significantly lessen depression, anxiety, dementia, and domestic violence. Environmentalists can also benefit from ecopsychology's critique of their collective actions. Sue Westwind, MA in Religious Studies from the University of Kansas and author of Lunacy Lost: A Memoir of Green Mental Health will speak on origins and principles of ecotherapy, share anecdotes from clinical practice, and lead outdoor examples if weather permits. Sue is an ecotherapist and Holistic Mental Health Coach certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.
Monthly presentations are held the first Tuesday of the month at the Anita B. Gorman Discovery Center, 4750 Troost unless otherwise indicated. Programs are open to the public and begin at 7 p.m.

PAS 78 is now BS 8878). The web accessibility code of practice via BSI (Building accessible experiences for disabled people) is NOW AVAILABLE and it should be interesting reading for all those who want to build their websites so the majority of people can access them:
BS 8878 Web accessibility. Building accessible experiences for disabled people. Code of Practice is applicable to all public and private organizations wishing to offer accessible, usable websites to their customers. BS 8878 has been designed to introduce accessibility, usability and user experience for disabled people to non-technical professionals, some of whom may be completely new to this subject.
It gives guidance on process, rather than on technical and design issues, including recommendations for:
- involving disabled people in the development process
- using automated web accessibility tools to assist with accessibility testing
- the management of the guidance and process for upholding existing accessibility guidelines and specifications.
The new British Standard BS8878 for accessible websites is based on PAS 78 and is due out late 2009. Any time soon hopefully!
Of course, accessible website design begins with validation – you can validate your html and validate your css using W3C tools and we have a selection of links to the best website accessibility tools.
With any web accessibility guidelines, I like to cut through the soup and see what the folks at Accessify Forum think of each implementation – there's a lot of passionate accessibility folk who hang out there who are only to ready to help with useful accessibility tips. Check it out.
I do wish the folks responsible for making these documents are available would stop shunting this stuff about. Over the years they don't even bother redirecting users to where the new files are kept or even leaving a link to the new location – sometimes you need to be a SEO to find the flaming documents. Hows that for accessibility? Whatever happened to cool URI don't change?
For web developers and those resposible for procuring an accessible website, it's considered by some on the know that WCAG 2.0 level Double-A (AA) is a solid technical foundation to base a website on, but you are also going to have to test your website with USERS before you can say your site is accessible.
It's worth noting that it's still, in late 2009, practically impossible to design a site that will comply with the UK DDA as the UK DDA does not refer to WCAG and it does not lay down a specific level of accessibility for all websites. The purpose of the UK DDA is to legislate against unreasonable discrimination, and to require reasonable adjustments in cases where discrimination occurs for those accessing websites – but that discrimination would obviously have to be determined by a court, and that hasn't happened in the UK to my knowledge. Of course, building your website to standards like WCAG shows at least you are attempting to make your websites accessible on some some level.
Actionable Tips
- Build your website to W3C WCAG 2.0 level Double-A (AA)
- Validate Your HTML & CSS
- Make it simple for visitors to your website to contact you
- Make reasonable changes to your website if asked to by someone who has difficulty accessing the information on it
- Have a culture of inclusiveness in your whole organisation!
- Learn more about web accessibility because this article is opinion and clearly NOT LEGAL ADVICE.

I was into web accessibility before seo and I still think every web designer should at least try and make their sites a bit more accessible, ESPECIALLY if asked….. – here's a press release I received today:
BSI is inviting all interested parties, and in particular website owners, web product managers, web procurement managers, usability and accessibility specialists, marketing professionals and disabled web users, to review and comment on the draft of a new standard on accessible websites, DPC BS 8878 Web accessibility – Code of Practice
There are three main drivers for organizations to take steps to make their web products more accessible and usable:
- Commercial reasons, notably opening up web products to a wider audience:
- More than 11 million people are protected by the UK's disability discrimination law, according to the Department of Work and Pensions. Separate research by the Government's Office for Disability Issues suggests that 15% of disabled people have hearing difficulties and 12% have visual impairments, and many others have physical or cognitive impairments which may impact on their use of web products.
- Many elderly people, while not legally considered disabled, are also affected by the multiple minor impairments of ageing.
- There are also many other non-disabled people who could benefit from more accessible web products including, people with a low reading age, and people who momentarily do not have use of one of their senses due to illness or because they need that sense to do something else at the same time
- Ethical reasons:
- The Digital Britain report details the many benefits that modern digital technologies can bring. Many organizations want to ensure that disabled and elderly people are not excluded from these benefits, and are able to use new technologies to increase their ability to live independently, and to be fully engaged members of society.
- Legal reasons:
- If an organization's web product is not accessible to a disabled person, that person may have grounds for making a claim against the organization under the Equality Act 2010 or the Disability Discrimination Act 1995
Many web products unwittingly and unlawfully exclude disabled and elderly people; yet in most cases the barriers these web products present can be removed.
This draft British Standard explains how to create organizational policies and production processes to identify and remove such barriers.
DPC BS 8878 was originally issued in December 2008 and attracted an unprecedented amount of interest. After due consideration of the feedback, and taking into account recent changes in legislation and advances in technology, BSI is now able to provide an enhanced draft which is extensively restructured, and contains additional guidance material on topics such as:
- The Equality Act 2010
- The relationship between inclusive design and user-personalised approaches to accessibility, including whether to provide additional accessibility provisions
- Creating accessible web products for computer, mobile and IPTV platforms
- How to procure accessible web products
- How to assure a product's accessibility throughout the production process, including the value and costs of different forms of accessibility testing
- Dealing with feedback and complaints on accessibility from users
DPC BS 8878 can be viewed at www.bsigroup.com/drafts until 30 June 2010. All comments will be considered by the BSI technical committee responsible for drafting the standard.
Mike Low, BSI Director, Standards commented,
â€Accessibility is an essential aspect of modern web production. The new UK Equality Act continues the legal imperative for websites to make reasonable steps to include the needs of disabled people. Moreover, Digital Britain initiatives to encourage more elderly people online pose both an opportunity and challenge for site owners in creating sites which are usable by a broader range of people than ever before.
Jonathan Hassell, of the BBC, Chair of the committee responsible for drafting DPC BS 8878,commented,
"Site owners urgently need an end-to-end guide to help them to ensure their products consider the needs of disabled and elderly people at all stages of the web production process, from initial requirements gathering, through selection of technologies and platforms, testing, launch and maintenance.
BS8878 is that guide. It's designed to be a real-world standard, talking about real-world issues, experienced by real users, wanting to use real up-to-date web 2.0 products. It's designed for real web product managers and production staff dealing with the real decisions they need to make every day which will affect whether or not their products will include or exclude disabled and elderly people.
This Draft for Public Consultation is a chance for people to tell us whether our drafting committee have got the content and style of the standard right and both given them an idea of the breadth of the parts of their production process that accessibility issues impact, and also demystified accessibility so they feel confident they know how to proceed.",â€
