They can provide excellent support at home but also in the classroom.
200+ Worksheets
Each topic has its own worksheet. Some schools use the worksheets as tests at the end of a topic. Some use them for homeworks. Some use them in place of textbooks in the classroom. Because the worksheets are in PDF format they can be used with any IWB. Answers are also provided.
A set of 24 assessments organised in modules (e.g. Level 6/Shape or Level 3/Number) to allow for testing of understanding and progress. These modules can be used individually (e.g. testing of Algebra at Level 4 only) or combined to provide a deeper challenge for pupils (e.g. Shape across Levels 3/4/5 or Number/Calculating/Handling Data at Level 7).
APP Support
An excellent model which allows easy and systematic record of pupils'progress has been developed. At any stage during the year, it provides clear information to both teachers and pupils (parents) of progress achieved so far, but also of steps to take in order to reach the next Level.
4 rich-task investigations have been developed.
These can be used as a whole class exercise or
as challenges to higher ability pupils.

I saw this on disney.com earlier today and hoped there was something i was missing. For those of us who are local, planning ahead 120 days ahead is a bit trying when your used to Disney being a more spur of the moment decisions.
Its really dissapointing but I am hoping that becuase of the numerous issues this will raise they will modify it a bit. You'd think they would want to offer passholders last minute rates since its space that wouldnt otherwise be filled. I know if I decided I was going this weekend, and noticed on wed that all fo the sudden there was a signifigant rate drop at a value property I would certainly drop my reseverations at the travel lodge and spend the extra $20 to stay on property. This would fill beds for them and make it so that I would spend all the more time (and in turn, money) at WDW.

The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Mary M., Brooklyn
There haven't been any roles that I wanted that I didn't get, but there was a movie I wish I had done: The Matrix. At the time [I was approached about it], it wasn't cast with Keanu [Reeves], and I didn't see myself with the person they wanted [in it]. Later I saw the movie and loved it. It was sexy and great because of Carrie-Anne [Moss] and Keanu.

RE: Pastel salt and pepper shaker ID (Follow-Up #12)
posted by: calliope on 12.09.2009 at 09:46 am in Antiques & Collectibles Forum I do my research on glass and pottery at the library, or at one of two specialty antique stores here in town and I'll tell you why. Most of the glass books are indexed by pattern. If you don't know the pattern it's a hunt and peck process. Secondarily, some are indexed by manufacturer and then sub-indexed by pattern. That helps somewhat if you have a suspicion as to who made it. The local antique dealers often have specialties where it comes to pottery or glass because it's of the proximity of a lot of these factories int he area. If they don't know they'll lead you to a dealer who does know.
Buying a general book on glassware is great for just getting a handle of it, but it would do you little good trying to get information on who made an item and when or what the pattern name is.......if it's unmarked. Linda is steering you to pressed glass and I still don't think that set is pressed. The roughness at the lip of shaker doesn't indicate it. So, you could spend a lot of time barking up the wrong tree looking at thousands of pictures. Your first step is to verify how this set was manufactured. A really reputable antiques dealing can clear this up pretty easily. If you peer down into the top of one of your shakers look to see if the interior surface has any relief at all or is perfectly smooth. If you can see any of the pattern inside, then most likely it is blown if it's perfectly smooth,then most likely it is pressed glass. The thinner the glass, the more relief you will see on the inside surface, if it's thick glass it may be almost flat. That's why I'd suggest having someone look at it in person. She may be right, and I may be wrong. But if you do go to sales sights on similar shakers of that age, most of them are described as mold blown. NOTES: <none>

Project in Detail
Sports Hall Bale
Bale, Croatia
3LHD Architects, Zagreb, Croatia
World Architecture Festival 2008 - Category Winner
3LHD Sports Hall Bale, Croatia
Damir Fabijanic
Bale is a small village in Istria peninsula, Croatia with mostly agricultural population of 1000 people. The project for the new sports hall has been faced with the rich historical, cultural and social Mediterranean context. Therefore any new architectural interpolation had to have a respectful approach to the environment. The solution has been found in interpreting the traditional ways of building by new technologies.
Inspiration for structure has been found in the small traditional stone hut - kazun, a small multifunctional building used as a shelter for shepherds that provide a cool environment in hot weather and insulating against the cold in the winter. Traditionally built without any cement or mortar with carefully selected interlocking stones found on the site this structure is a primitive example of prefabrication present in the Mediterranean since the prehistoric times. The traditional local dry stone wall motif has been used as a template/pattern for the whole surfacing of the sports hall.
On the other hand, being the second largest building after the church, the social importance of the sports hall for the town community is considerable because, besides as a sports venue, it is used as a public facility for various social gatherings, from community meetings, trade fairs to watching World Cup. Actually, the size of the building has been defined by the basketball playground and modified by additional facilities on the gallery: a fitness centre and a sauna, while the low and small locker rooms are planned as a connection element to the school. This connection to the old school with the utility rooms is hidden underground. On the other hand, the private and intimate character of the building is juxtaposed to the open public primary function of the building and its openness by glass fronts to the street.
The sports hall concept has been made to meet the design and short construction period, which was possible only by using RC prefabricated elements. All the bearing and façade elements of the sports hall have been made from prefabricated elements.

The report, Water Technology U.S. Patent Landscape Annual Report, indicates that among 384 water technology patents issued last year, there were 124 patents and 1,958 claims made in the "water purification" category. Other leading categories were water reclamation and treatment (96 patents, 1,534 claims) and water conservation (65 patents, 1,051 claims). The category with the least patent activity was "metering," with 16 patents and 274 claims. Data were also presented for these other water technology categories: irrigation, desalinization and/or distillation, and hydro/wave/tidal power.
Looking at the types of devices described in the patents, the report said the largest number of claims made under their respective patents were for "water flow-reducing fixtures or flow-limiting valves" (277 claims). Other top categories of claims were "appliances with water conservation characteristics" (263 claims), "treatment of industrial processing or wastewater" (263 claims), "sub-surface current-driven hydropower generation (hydro turbine flow ducts or flow accelerators)" (241 claims), and "purification devices using ionization or electrodes" (199 claims).
The report also identified so-called "white space," or technological areas where there seems to be the greatest potential for additional patents and technical innovation. The top "white space" category, in the firm's analysis, was "water treatment with biological agents," followed by "materials and compositions for water treatment.
More than 30% of 2008 water technology patents were granted to individual inventors as opposed to corporations, the report indicates. Corporations tended to file more patents in more sophisticated water treatment technologies such as desalination, where barriers to market entry typically are higher.
Foley & Lardner has been incredibly prolific helping inventors and companies earn patents-- peruse this lengthy list.

Porting LinuxBIOS to the AMD SC520
Now we set up the mainboard. We first cd to mainboard/digitallogic and issue:
mkdir msm586seg
We then populate it from the adjacent adl855pc directory.
There are a lot of files here. We do not have enough space here to go into the changes for each file, but we can summarize what we do to each one.
This file is compiled by romcc, and in a proprietary BIOS it would be a large blob of assembly code. To start, we completely empty this file—all it should have is a print function. This is the easiest way to get a new port going—make sure you have the ability to get some output. There is not room to show the whole file, but you can see it in the repository or use viewarch. There are two key things to get right, however. First is picking include files. For romcc, additional C code is not linked in; it is included. The include files look like this:
#define ASSEMBLY 1 #define ASM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL 8 #include <stdint.h> #include <device/pci_def.h> #include <arch/io.h> #include <device/pnp_def.h> #include <arch/romcc_io.h> #include <arch/hlt.h> #include "pc80/mc146818rtc_early.c" #include "pc80/serial.c" #include "arch/i386/lib/console.c" #include "ram/ramtest.c" #include "cpu/x86/mtrr/earlymtrr.c" #include "cpu/x86/bist.h" #include "cpu/amd/sc520/raminit.c"
For romcc, we define the ASSEMBLY value to 1. We also set the console log level for assembly to a very high level—8 in this case. LinuxBIOS uses macros for printing so that when a production BIOS is built, the debug print macros can be compiled out to save space. A console log level of 8 ensures that every print call is compiled.
Here's the main function, which does nothing at all:
static void main(unsigned long bist) { print_err("Hello\n"); }
With this simple main we can test a lot. We can build the BIOS, load it and see if we get a printout. Simply getting print to work is a huge step in getting your BIOS going.
We saw chip.h for a CPU; is it different for the mainboard? In fact, it's not really different at all:
extern struct chip_operations mainboard_digitallogic_msm586seg_ops; struct mainboard_digitallogic_msm586seg_config { };
As before, there is a generic chip_operations structure and a specialized structure for the chip, which in this case is a mainboard. Every single device in LinuxBIOS is treated the same way. This uniform structure has proven to be powerful.
cmos.layout defines the structure of the CMOS memory, which is a battery-backed memory on the motherboard. We leave this unchanged for now.
Config.lb is pretty standard across platforms, so for reasons of space we show only a subset here, the part that is mainboard-specific. We are going to touch on a few highlights, but for more detail you need to study the full file in the archive.
This statement declares a driver file, mainboard.o, which is included in the set of binaries linked in to the final image:
## ## Build our 16 bit and 32 bit linuxBIOS entry code ## mainboardinit cpu/x86/16bit/entry16.inc mainboardinit cpu/x86/32bit/entry32.inc ldscript /cpu/x86/16bit/entry16.lds ldscript /cpu/x86/32bit/entry32.lds
These commands relate to early initialization. The config tool builds a loader script for the BIOS, an assembly code file as well as a C file and Makefiles. The mainboardinit command tells the config tool to add the entry16.inc and entry32.inc assembly code files to the assembly code file for the mainboard. The .lds files are used in the ld script to determine how the assembly code is linked.
A number of mainboardinit and ldscript directives are in this file. These are architecture-related, for example, for the x86 architecture; CPU-related, for example, specific to the SC520 CPU; and, in some cases, mainboard-related.
Now we come to the complicated part of the file, which we are going to simplify for reasons of space:
chip cpu/amd/sc520 device pci_domain 0 on device pci 0.0 on end device pci 1.0 on end end end
We are declaring the CPU and the nested devices under that CPU. The first device is the PCI domain, domain 0, which is the only domain this CPU has. We declare device 0:0.0 and 0:0.1. That's it for now—this does get more complex later, however.
Some of these files are complex, in some cases running to 100 or more lines, as some boards are complicated.

Please remove this just want to see what it did and how?
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Driver: San Francisco PC delayed
By Mufaddal Fakhruddin on August 11, 2011
No demo planned, Mac version incoming.
In what is turning out to be a company tradition, Ubisoft has delayed the PC version of yet another of it's upcoming title, this time being Driver: San Francisco.
The game, which was scheduled to release on September 2 has now been pushed back to September 27. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are still on track with the original release date, however.
According to Blue News, the French publisher also confirmed that there will not be a demo for the PC version. An Xbox 360 demo was made available yesterday. A Mac version is also in the works, although the publisher could not commit to a release date.

Absolutely love this rose bush. Can anyone help with what type it is? I am very new to gardening, our previous house didn't have one, so I'm sorry if this is really obvious. Thanks, Angela |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's a beauty but can you tell us any more about it? Does it repeat bloom all season or just once? Close up photos of leaves, stems, thorns, buds and blooms would also help. Also, how big are the blooms? How tall is it and does it look like it wants to climb or is it a bush type? I know, a lot of questions, but the more we know the more likely we can ID it. |

Is it fragrant? |
Possibly Aloha, the original, not the more recent roses of the same name. |

Sorry just seen all the messages. Thanks for your responses. I found out its 'warm wishes' fryxotic. hybrid tea. It has a lovely fragrance. The flower starts off orange and turns pink towards the end of the bloom. It blooms summer - autumn. I would love to say I worked out what it was, but I actually found a tag in the garden. |

That was my thought which is AKA Sunset Celebration. A very nice rose which I once grew. |

Web Design
Web Design is the least of your worries
Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at 12:48am
"Do you do web design?"
My reply is common for most SEO agencies: "Not really, but I always seem to have to go behind you guys take the client out of the witness protection plan you all keep sending them to."
Web Designers think they're supposed to be writing to please humans.
Web Designers are Totally Clueless…
If you don't write to please GoogleBot FIRST
no one is ever likely to see your Shakespearean prose of glitzy flash presentation.
Most web design or redesign projects are executed on specifications. In most cases, those specifications emphasize front end design and user experience elements as well as back end content management and administration features. What most web design specifications do not include is attention to how search engines will interact with the web site or how a re-design will impact current search engine visibility.
The result for a web site redesign or change in content management system that does not consider implications for search engines can be disastrous. When changes are made to a web site, it can affect overall content organization, navigation, past SEO efforts of content, syntax of file names and a host of other web page elements.
When search engines crawl web sites, they make copies of web pages and links. Changing web pages and links without redirecting in the right way can be confusing to search engines.The solution to this unintentional sabotage is to implement a SEO migration plan that will help mitigate any negative effects of a major site change. If a web site and the the links from other sites pointing to that web site have been known to a search engine for any notable amount of time, then there is a certain equity that has been built up. Changing content and links essentially sabotages that equity and can result in plummeting search visibility. read more
Who cares if you have a pretty site… if no one is ever going to see it!
If that expensive site with bells and whistles is ranked #211 in Google, and we're not talking about your website showing up when you type in your company name… The customers you so desperately need are typing in "What they want" and "where they're willing to go to get it". Those are keywords: "product or service they're looking for" and "geographical area", or from YOUR perspective "your product or service" (first half of a keyword phrase) and "geographical area" (your service area and second half of a keyword phrase).

Are web designers clueless about SEO? by Rachelle Money, 3 September 2008
This week we look at what our newsletter readers thought of Peter Kent's interview with Rachelle Money. The author of Search Engine Optimization for Dummies caused a split between our readers over his comments that web designers were pretty clueless when it came to SEO.
Wordtracker had a fantastic response from our readers and we thank all of you for sharing your thoughts and comments with us.
Here are some comments from those who supported Peter Kent's assertion that web designers know little about SEO:
Chris TT said virtually all his clients have a tale of woe from about web design companies.
He said: "Most people are only enlightened about SEO once their expensive website has failed to get them traffic and/or business. So, we would vouch for Peter's comment about web designers – though I'm sure there are some out there who get it."
Gail Mills said she paid the price for choosing the wrong web designer and putting her trust in those who said they were experts without doing thorough research on them first. "It unfortunately has been a frustrating learning experience. My mistake was not investing a small amount of money in the Dummies books. So I'm the dummy until I purchase the new SEO book," she said.
Sam Mooney said problems arise because web designers and clients alike put aesthetics over functionality.
"Web designers are, first and foremost, designers. They're not really that interested in the 'business' of a client's site, they care about the look.
"Combine this with a client who also cares more about the look than about usability – or taking the time to actually define their potential visitors – and you have a situation where it's likely that web sites won't do well on search engines and won't actually reach the people the client wants to reach."
Marc contributed a comment to the article which summed up his own personal experience in this area.
"I recently evaluated a website that targets a very small market and has zero search engine visibility, even when the meta tagged keywords are searched. All flash and no content on the index page to tie-in with the keywords, the robots.txt has eight errors, every page has the same exact meta tags with no relevancy to page content and that's not all.
"The SEO was done by the web designers, who believe they know what they're doing, but in reality made just about every mistake possible. Perhaps I should send them a copy of Peter's book?"
Karl Moyse threw in his own viewpoint as a designer himself. "LOL at the web designers knowing SEO stuff, as someone with a design background I would question if that is totally the case, but having worked with plenty of designers, especially now in my Online Marketing role, I can only concur that a very large percentage of web designers and developers really haven't got the faintest idea of what a search engine requires! Great article, keep them coming!"

The complete 19 page manual can be printed from the following URL - I bought my DAK Turbo IV when they first came out and paid hundreds for it, before cheap ones came on the market, you can now buy them on e-bay for about $100 so you surely got a bargain on an excellent machine. Be sure to put dry ingredients in first, starting with yeast in bottom corner, then flour and other dry ingredients, ending with your wet ingredients. Backward from the new machines, but best method and machine, also other Welbilt bread machines take the dry ingredients first. Enjoy your bread making and healthier eating. |

More reviews by dreamsXthatXglitter
First got this perfume when I was at college back in 2009 and I wore it like mad I was so in love with it! I still like it now however have just ran out of my second bottle, if u like the smell if the soap and glory products then you'll like this it's very similar and it's like a lighter version of miss dior cherie and coco mademoiselle which is Katie's fave perfume so that's prob why, overall it's a lovely perfume and I will prob get another bottle when I get round to it
I bought this perfume ages ago and I really liked it even though I don't like Katie Price at all. Now Miss Dior Cherie has come out and I took a sniff of it a few days ago. This perfume smells identical more or less to Miss Dior Cherie but less than half the price.
So if you like Miss Dior but not the price then this is for, it smells more or less the same!

I haven't actually bought this but it seriously is the biggest dupe for 'Miss Dior Cherie'. Lasting power is great and the perfume itself is quite cheap. Thumbs up from me and on my wish list!

On me this smells lemony, then sweet with a fiizy, slightly punch undertone.
I liked the way it smelt on me (even if it was a bit strong!), but I'm not too sure others felt the same way. Nobody said anything - I could just sense them struggling to sit near me.
I might repurchase this one day, though

I LOVE Katie Price so when I found out she was launching her own fragrance I was like OMG I so gotta get it!!! I thought it'd smell amazing because I think Katie Price has a great taste and style;) I'm from Spain and this fragrance is only sold in the UK (where I wasn't traveling to anytime soon lol) so there was no way for me to try it. I read the notes online and didn't think they were among my favorites, I wasn't sure if I'd like the fragrance or not, but eventually I purchased it online because I love Katie Price/Jordan and I soo wanted it. When I got it, big disappointment!! it's kinda like the opposite of what I like in a fragrance. It smells really like citrus (mandarin) with patchouli and a plasticky, chemical, artificial note. I HATE citrus notes and patchouli, and to me, that's exactly what this perfume is all about. It turned my stomach. I think it smells a little masculine too (probably the patchouli cuz I think patchouli smells like a man) and I think it smells a little like champagne too. I really can't stand this perfume, before buying it I thought that even if I didn't really like it, it still would be wearable, never did I imagine that I would LOATHE it!!!=( I've heard people say this smells like Miss Dior Cherie too, I've never worn Miss Dior Cherie, but the other day I was at a perfume shop and sniffed a bottle of Miss Dior Cherie to see if that was true, and OMG it really did smell like Stunning A LOT!! I didn't spray it or wear it so I can't really tell how similar or not they are though for sure.
To me Stunning = mandarin, super-citrusy citrus, patchouli, some florals and a chemical plasticky note, ewww, it's not strong like other reviews claim though, it's just uber citrusy-plasticky and I think that's what gives people a headache (it gave me a headache too). One of the other notes that it's said to be in this perfume is vanilla, but this perfume has absolutely not the smallest hint of a trace of noticeable vanilla AT ALL. BTW Lasting power is good though. If anybody wants this fragrance message me because I'd love to swap it!!!

had this as a gift off my Dad, packaging is a bit tacky, as for the scent,it is ok not the best scent iv smelt, can be a bit too over powering when first sprayed,gives me a headache but when it lingers after a few hours its a pretty smell
I got this as a gift at Christmas and I'm still rather undecided about it. While I like the scent I feel that it's too strong to wear during the day and yet not strong enough to wear at night. The staying power of this fragrance is very good however, a couple of sprays in the morning at it can still be smelt at the end of the day.
STUNNING opened nicely; I love the long top note of mandarin. It didnt smell plastic at all, just juicy and freshly sweet. Sadly it just went downhill from there. I love strawberry and violets, but couldnt detect them thanks to the overwhelming jasmine note
and when the dreaded (cue scary music) patchouli note mingles with the jasmine my stomach turned.
Overall I found STUNNING to be a flatter version of Miss Dior Cherie scentwise.
Scent notes; Mandarin, strawberry, violet, bergamot, jasmine, patchouli and vanilla.
I thought the bottle and pink juice although gaudy were fun and cute. The staying power is very impressive for the reasonable price. However; I really, really hate the name. Call me snobbish, but I'd really hate to have anything about me referred to as stunning...

Just bought this yesterday, after spraying the tester on myself - I left it for about 3hrs and decided I had to have it or i'll never forgive myself...All i can say is it is absolutely yummy, it smells all girly and like strawberries to me. I love it! I've sprayed myself twice and it's surprisingly long-lasting. I can imagine TBS Strawberry Body Butter and a couple spritz from Stunning will work wonders. The design is pretty and price isn't bad, I paid £24 for 50ml (plus got a Tommy weekender bag as a free gift - YAY) If you like girly-girl fragrances - then definitely try this.

I am going to be growing tomatoes this summer and will be gone for weeks at a time. I have rigged up an automatic watering system but have not yet figured out a way to prevent hornworms. I will not be home on a daily or perhaps even weekly basis to pick off any hornworms before they do major damage. Has anyone ever tried using mosquito netting or think this is an effective way to prevent the hornworms? I live in Texas so I'm not concerned about diminished sunlight at all. |

Should work as it's basically the same principle as row covers and they work. But it's lighter weight than even the insect barrier row covers so you won't have to worry about heat build-up under it. Only possible problem I can foresee is making it flexible enough to grow with the height of the plants. Good luck and let us know how it works! Dave |

Film Title: Skeleton Crew | Year Released: 2009 | |
Reviewed By: Amber Goddard | ||
Movie Website: Click Here | ||
Overall Stars: ***1/2 | Scare Factor: **1/2 | |
Mental institutions are inherently creepy (have you seen SESSION 9? Enough said.), but I'd been burned with a good trailer and an interesting premise before by Lightning Media with THE DEVIL'S GROUND. SKELETON CREW is a whole new ballgame, and despite a few glitches, may very well prove to be one of the most memorable horror flicks of 2009. Set out in the middle of nowhere—or, in this case, an isolated bit of countryside in Finland just beyond the Russian border—SKELETON CREW chronicles the film shoot of a horror film called "Silent Creek" that's all about this crazy doctor guy from the 70s who started calling himself "The Auteur" and making snuff films starring his unlucky patients. Well, when some of the "Silent Creek" sound guys come across those original snuff films, everyone is properly disgusted—except the director, Steven, who begins to see the newfound film bounty not so much as a terrifying spectacle but as more of an … inspiration. I've been watching a bunch of horror movies lately, both straight-to-DVD and big screen fare, and out of all the new stuff I've seen, SKELETON CREW is the hands down winner when it comes to atmosphere. They got it exactly right in terms of look and feel, combining just the right amount of run-down dilapidation, tight hallway claustrophobia, and stifling windowless-ness to drag us all in to a gritty, grimy mental hospital reality. Also, for a bunch of pretty much unknowns, the acting is good, and even in the roles that require over-the-top, B-movie campiness, it never feels like too much. The whole premise of snuff films becoming a pseudo-demon, possessing directors and such, is original and lends itself to all sorts of gruesomeness, and even though the kills are borderline blood-porn, they're well done, clever, and don't dominate the film, balancing nicely with mood and suspense. My main complaint is that, every once in a while, the film veers into being too aware of itself—I'm all for paying homage to the greats, but with a director wearing a shirt from THE THING and unnecessary references to films like SAW and HOSTEL, I was even more put off when, near the end of the film, we get to hear the discussion about the "rules of horror movies." We've all heard these reminders and warnings, in one form or another, in films like SCREAM and BEHIND THE MASK: THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON, but by now they're getting a little overdone. Note to future filmmakers—we get it. You love your genre … so do we. We don't need to know that all of your characters are all scary-savvy and know who's most likely to die (though it was funny to hear the slate-cracker girl bemoaning her caught-on-tape lesbian romp as some sort of mind trick by the ghosts possessing the director as just another example of why they're being forced into a horror formula, a friendly poke at the genre's often obvious pandering to boys looking for totally unrelated to the plot girl-on-girl action). Horror movies don't need to keep pointing out that they're on to themselves. Overall, SKELETON CREW starts off with a bang, pulls us in to its surreal, isolated world of blood and film and dusty popcorn machines, and doesn't let go until the end. Definitely one of the best so far this year—and it's from Finland! - Amber Goddard |

1,600 join Ironman
-A A +AWednesday, February 1, 2012
THE 2012 Cobra Ironman 70. 3 in Mactan, Cebu has attracted close to 1,600 of the country's top triathletes.
The race, which will be held on Aug. 5 at Shangrila Mactan, is one of the series of middle-distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corp. It features the total distance of 70.3 miles, or 113 kilometers, and covers a 1.9-km swim, 90K bike and a 21.1-km run.
This early, all resorts in Mactan are fully booked for that weekend alone and all major establishments are getting ready to welcome the event. And to help minimize traffic jams on that day, organizers are encouraging all Cebuanos to support the event.
"We are encouraging all Cebuanos to support this major international event by leaving their cars at home and going to the venue to cheer. They can get there either by bike or by jogging, and can help ease traffic," over-all coordinator Oscar "Boying" Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez said that practice is also done in other countries, where people show their support by leaving their cars at home and going to the venue to cheer on the triathletes.
Rodriguez, who is also an executive director of the Triathlon Association of the Philippines and the one responsible for negotiating with the local government units involved, added that the biggest challenge they are facing right now is how to manage the traffic and to have the 90-kilometer bike route uninterrupted during the whole duration of the race.
"Dako kaayo ni nga trabaho. We are expecting 1,600 bicycles that are worth a total of P300 million. We have to make sure that we will have a good route that they will be passing through," Rodriguez said.
The bike route will start from Shangrila, pass by the new Mactan bridge to Mandaue City. It will also pass through the South Reclamation Project on the way to Talisay City and back. They are also planning to have a mini-loop from Talisay City, Mandaue
and back.
"We are working on alternative routes. We are making sure that the traffic toward the Mactan International Airport and other business sections won't be affected," Rodriguez said.
Meanwhile, Cebu City Sports Commission's Brando Velasquez said the Ironman won't be affected by the new one-day, one-race ordinance approved in the City.
"Dili siya ma affected with the new ordinance because three months pa lang, Mr. Rodriguez has already made a reservation on that day and had a talk with CCSC chairman Edward Hayco on how Cebu City can support the international event," Velasquez said.
On the other hand, some of Cebu's top triathletes will be joining the race. They will be led by Ford Ironman Championship qualifier Noy Jopson, Loveleinell Casidsid, Franz Baguio, Kristian Cabahug, Vicente Lorenzo Cabahug, Gerry Calinawan, Allan Chuachoy, Jose Mari Colmenares, Myrlinda Colmenares, John Philip Duenas, Vincent Ace Duenas, Meyrick Jacalan and Mendel Lopez.

Hawthorn on the up on and off the field
PUBLISHED: 30 Sep 2013 00:05:52 | UPDATED: 30 Sep 2013 04:50:32PUBLISHED: 30 Sep 2013 PRINT EDITION: 30 Sep 2013Hawthorn sold an estimated $400,000 worth of merchandise on Sunday at its family day celebration. Photo: Justin McManus
John Stensholt
AFL premier Hawthorn's financial profit for 2013 is set to top the $3 million mark after Saturday's grand final win against Fremantle.
Hawthorn won its second premiership in five years in a tight battle against Fremantle, which was making its first grand final appearance, and atoned for last year's loss to the Sydney Swans.
The match took place in front of slightly more than 100,000 spectators at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with broadcaster Seven West Media recording an average audience of more than 2.7 million viewers in metropolitan areas.
Already an AFL financial powerhouse, Saturday's grand final win means Hawthorn's 2013 profit will far exceed the $2 million result the club recorded in 2012.
It is understood Hawthorn's net profit for the year to October 31 this year will exceed $3 million, thanks in particular to increased merchandise sales and the $1.2 million prize money the club will receive from the AFL for winning the grand final.
Merchandise return
Hawthorn sold an estimated $400,000 worth of merchandise on Sunday at its family day celebration at its former home ground Glenferrie Oval. The club's chief executive, Stuart Fox, said the total return Hawthorn will receive from grand final merchandise, including memorabilia such as DVDs and t-shirts will more than double that figure.
"Merchandise is a really big opportunity and if you get it right you can make a million dollars out of it," Fox said.
"The prize money not so much, because you've got to share a lot of that with the players, but that is fair enough. You do this to win the silverware, not just for the financial return."
Hawthorn's strong financial result for 2013 will add to a series of similar returns in recent years, which has made it one of the wealthiest clubs in the AFL, less than a decade after it was one of the poorest. According to its 2012 annual report, Hawthorn has net assets of $26 million, which includes its Ricoh Centre training facility at Waverley, on the site of the old VFL Park, and gaming venue.
The annually report also says Hawthorn has a share portfolio worth almost $1.85 million and also owns an investment property, a gym leased to Goodlife Health Clubs, worth about $4 million.
Membership increase
The club signed 63,000 members in 2013, and wants to increase that number to 80,000 and net $8 million from membership income by 2017.
Its strategic plan for 2013-2017 also includes goals such as having net assets of $38 million by the end of the five year period.
Hawthorn also aims for sponsorship income to grow from about $12 million this year to $17 million by 2017 and for annual merchandise sales to increase about 35 per cent to $3.72 million.
Fox said the club's biggest off-field aim is to successfully undertake a $35 million redevelopment of the Waverley Park precinct, including doubling the size of its existing football facilities and building a separate training base away from Waverley for closed sessions.
"It's a big challenge for us. We have got a healthy balance sheet at Hawthorn but this is a big project and as well as securing the funding for it we are also searching for the right community partner to share it with."
Fox said the club would need to use a mixture of its own cash reserves, private investment and possible federal and state government and AFL funding to help build the infrastructure, which would partly be open for community use.

Venezuela to Ease Restrictions in Currency Market, Bank Director Leon Says
Venezuela will ease some restrictions to allow companies to access the
currency market after President Hugo Chavez banned unregulated trades,
Armando Leon, a central bank director, said today in an interview.
Companies that aren't authorized to buy dollars at the official exchange
rates will for the first time be allowed to use the central bank's market,
known as Sitme, for such trades, Leon said. The goal is to make foreign
exchange transactions more "fluid," he said. The bank also plans to
periodically allocate dollars to companies now facing purchase quotas, he
"In one or two months the market should be running at the velocity of a
cruise ship," Leon said in an interview in Caracas. "Sitme will have three
sources. Besides bonds from the financial sector, oil and mining companies
with dollars are selling to obtain bolivars, and bonds from the coming
issue will be used to restock the market."
Chavez closed the unregulated market in May and made the central bank the
only entity authorized to buy and sell dollar- denominated bonds.
Companies used the unregulated market to obtain currency at more than two
times the official rate when they didn't get government authorization.
The Foreign Exchange Board, known as Cadivi, currently approves currency
purchases made by companies. Cadivi meets 80 percent of the country's
importing needs and has boosted daily dollar sales to $140 million in July
from $100 million in April, Leon said.
The Sitme market will be funded through the sale of bonds from private
banks, dollars from foreign companies and government debt issues, he said.
There are no plans to raise the purchase limits of $50,000 a day and
$350,000 a month that companies now face, Leon said.
"This is not the unregulated market," he said of a plan to allocate
dollars to companies. "That market is history."

Mike Young, the creator of SuperTed and Jakers!, will be visiting the University to give a free public lecture.
The lecture, entitled 'Taking on the Mouse: Ireland, Wales and the Animation Trade' will draw upon Mike's experiences as co-founder of Mike Young Productions, one of the largest independent animation studios in the world.
Now an Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning creator of many highly successful television animation projects, Mike's career began in Wales more than 30 years ago when he began to tell his four-year-old son tales of a crime-fighting teddy bear. SuperTed, the first ever programme to be broadcast on S4C, went on to become a huge success in the United Kingdom and was later licensed by Disney.
Mike Young Productions currently operates from both a digital production facility in Los Angeles and an international production studio in Merthyr Mawr – a 500-year old barn which has been converted into a state-of-the-art studio.
One of Mike's most successful current productions is Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks, an animated series which sees the title character entertaining his grandchildren with vivid tales of his childhood as a young pig growing up in 1950s Ireland.
The lecture is one of the highlights of a two-day symposium on 'Ireland and Wales: Romantic Nations' organised by the Ireland-Wales Research Network. Mike follows Pulitzer-winning poet Paul Muldoon and the first National Poet of Wales, Gwyneth Lewis, as the latest high-profile speaker attracted to the University by the Network.
The Network, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council of Great Britain, aims to develop a deeper awareness of the overlapping histories and cultures of Wales and Ireland and thereby contribute to a fuller understanding of the interconnected past and present of the two countries. It is run by Dr Claire Connolly and Dr Katie Gramich of Cardiff School of English, Communication and Philosophy, in conjunction with Dr Paul O'Leary of the School of History and Welsh History at Aberystwyth University.
Mike's lecture takes place on Friday 24 October at 6pm in Main Building, Park Place. The event is free but pre-booking is essential. For tickets, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 029 2087 6936.

A fire overnight damaged several businesses on Valparaiso's north side. | Amy Lavalley for the Post-Tribune
Updated: July 30, 2013 7:29AM
VALPARAISO — The free smells emanating from the Jimmy John's sandwich shop on North Calumet Avenue on Wednesday weren't toasting sandwiches, but the burned exterior of the building.
The sandwich shop at 3125 Calumet Ave., as well as four other businesses in a strip mall near the Valparaiso Family YMCA, received smoke and water damage after a fire late Tuesday night, but an investigator with the Valparaiso Fire Department said the shops are still structurally sound.
The Valparaiso Police Department got an initial call about an activated burglar alarm around 11 p.m. Tuesday at Fagen Pharmacy in the strip mall. While officers determined the alarm was accidental, according to a police report, they smelled smoke in the area.
They stuck around and, around 11:30 p.m., noticed the Jimmy John's sign was arcing and sparking and contacted the fire department, at which point the sign caught fire.
"It was either heat from the light or wiring," said Dan Lamb, assistant chief and investigator with the fire department.
Firefighters were on the scene until 4:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. Nobody was in any of the businesses at the time of the fire, and nobody was injured.
Jimmy John's appears to have taken the brunt of the damage. In all, Lamb said there were five businesses in the strip mall, which also included the pharmacy; Orthopedic and Balance Therapy Specialists; JD Crepe Company; and Coolwood Cleaners.
The structure can be saved, Lamb said, though the interiors of the shops have extensive water and soot damage.
"There was no fire inside the building at all. Everything we see is inside the soffit area," he said.
That was good news for Bruce Dawson, who opened the Jimmy John's franchise five years ago. He also owns franchises at 1608 E. Lincolnway, and in Chesterton, LaPorte and Portage.
Visiting the scene Wednesday morning, he agreed it looked as though the fire started from the sandwich shop's sign.
"The sign has gone out and we've repaired it, normal stuff like that," he said.
The shop employed 15 people. Dawson hoped to shift them to his other shops until the one on North Calumet can open again.
"We're happy with our business here and want to get it open as soon as possible," Dawson said. "It's just a blip; we'll get through it."

My name is Edgar J. Steele. This is a Nickel Rant.
The massacre of over 50 civilians in Qana, Lebanon, more than half of them little children, may prove to have been the tipping point for international indulgence of Israel's genocide and certifiable war crimes. The outrage now flooding international media outlets and the Internet is of a palpably different quality from that prompted by the scenes of mayhem inflicted against the residents of Palestine and Lebanon during this most recent bout of Israeli excess.
The simultaneous disclosure that Israel has been hurling US-made munitions containing depleted uranium at the Lebanese doesn't help, either.
Nor does it help that people have not yet forgotten about the last outrageous Israeli massacre of little children in Qana, just ten years ago. Just like then, Israel claimed justification at first, then mistake when they were proved to be lying about the justification. Just like the way they dealt with the repeated attacks upon that UN outpost the other day that resulted in the deaths of all the UN observers present. Just like always. Always. No wonder Jews had to invent the word "chutzpah," for which there is no English correlate, to cover this sort of behavior!
The Lebanese adults and children had taken refuge in a seemingly-safe building a short distance from the village of Qana because they knew that trying to escape via the roadway invited certain death, as so many other residents had proven with their lives during the past 18 days. Women. Children. Old men. But, to the Israelis, simply animals to be exterminated, as they have demonstrated with contempt, time and again, during their current campaign of extermination in both Lebanon and Palestine.
Beyond Chutzpah
Just what goes through these Jews' minds, do you suppose, that allows them, first, to actually do to other human beings what they do with aplomb and then, second, to have no sense of boundaries? Like little kids who test you at every turn, Israel continually has to have the lines of acceptable behavior redrawn for it by international opinion.
The indulgence that Jews demanded and have gotten with their Holocaust shakedown now is used up, it seems to me, and about time! I detect a very different response to their behavior this time around, both in media accounts and in communications I receive over the Internet. People are fed up. Americans, in particular, seem to be awakening from their long, hard slumber and a great many Americans are waking up angry.
It isn't arrogance when you can back it up, like Muhammed Ali did when he proclaimed himself to be "the greatest." He was the greatest fighter in the game at the time and he proved it repeatedly. People actually admired him for saying so, in fact. Similarly, it no longer is anti-Semitic when Jews really deserve it.
Actually, the "anti-Semite" epithet has all but lost its currency, so frequently and stupidly has it been flung about by Jews in all walks of life. This fact was amply demonstrated yesterday by Abe Foxman, head of the ADL, who repeatedly has screamed the word at Mel Gibson, whom Foxman wants investigated for a hate crime for having alleged during a private exchange with the police the other night that "Jews start all the wars." A hate crime! Can you imagine? The Chutzpah of the man, after all.
Well, just exactly what do you think is happening in the Middle East right now, Mr. Foxman? Looks to me like you Jews are doing just what Gibson said: starting yet another war, one that America will have to finish for you, as usual. It isn't anti-Semitism if it's the truth.
Down and Up a Poll
The last time I saw this much Jewish blood in the water, media sharks were circling over the filmed shooting by Israeli soldiers of both that defenseless Palestinian man and the small son he attempted to shield from Israeli bullets, prior to 9/11. That tableau proved to be a tipping point for international opinion, just as I sense might have taken place two nights ago near the small Lebanese village of Qana.
The last time Israel was sinking in the polls like this, 9/11 miraculously rescued it by diverting public attention. Are you ready for another 9/11, America? As so many have shown in so many ways, 9/11 was staged and required the complicity of at least some American government agencies and officials. Similarly, it has been proven that at least some Israelis knew about it in advance, while a great many others happened to arrange their affairs very conveniently - much too conveniently, in fact - in light of 9/11.
Of course, by now we all know that the false-flag operation is a specialty of Israel's. By Deception, We Shall Do War, don't forget, is their Mossad's motto. Once caught, their specialty becomes lying, then excuse making when their lies are laid bare, as proven yet again in the Qana affair - and in precisely the same sequence and for precisely the same reason and in precisely the same village, for the second time in ten years. Always, Jews are surrounded by "coincidence." Jewish Lightning, they call it in the Bronx.
A Dangerous Confluence of Events
Here's the real problem for us mere mortals out of the line of fire for now: simultaneously, several other situations are shaping up which historically have led to war.
Like the world economy about to fall off a cliff.
Like Bush now committed to invade Iran just when American public opinion of both him and his Jewish masters has sunk to new, unprecedented lows.
Like the American dollar having been inflated beyond belief in recent years, with debt at all levels of American society that never can be paid off without a massive devaluation of the dollar.
Like mid-term elections looming in 3 months, with the Republican Party certain to lose both the House and the Senate due to their treasonous behavior during Bush's tenure - with the subsequent impeachment of Bush by a Democrat-controlled congress then a near certainty.
And, of course, just as prior to WWI and WWII, like international Jewry demanding that the world fight a fight they have picked but cannot possibly win on their own.
Some things never change.
Will It Be Bugs or Bombs?
So, if it occurs, what do you suppose the "event" will be this time - you know, the new 9/11 that will rescue Israel, Bush and their neocon masters from all the negative public opinion and conveniently implicate Iran, providing the excuse for an invasion that then will escalate into WWIII? A biological attack upon a middling Midwest American city, just as described by Rumsfeld, do you suppose? Or, perhaps, a small nuke or dirty bomb set off in some Southern American city, as some other officials have warned against?
Odds are that this year's 9/11 will happen during August, which will make it possible for many officials to explain their absence under cover of their annual vacation. Remember, the media ban on American troop movement reporting just went into place, indicating that we're poised to invade Iran, if not Syria, as well, aren't we? And, of course, there's that election, now rushing at Bush like a freight train. No time to waste.
Here's a tip: If you see Jews breaking leases, packing up and moving away, just as so many did in the World Trade Center prior to 9/11, consider yourself warned and get out of town immediately.

You didn't list what exactly you are doing when you tank.
You should:
Avenger's shield
Judgement of Righteousness
keep judging and consecrate once in a while depending on how good your dps is. You should be taking on two or three mobs at one time. This is where you shine as a tank. If you are not taking in enough dmg, you are not getting healed. If you are not getting healed, you are *not getting mana*. You get mana back by taking dmg.
I'd say that looking at your stats, you have more to worry about that your mana pool. Your avoidance stats are rather low.
Get the Felsteel helm to replace the Oathkeepers helm. The current helm is more a healer's helm and has very little avoidance.
Get CE rep to get the Strength of the Untamed neck piece
+40 Spell dmg to your mace. For added threat
+10 stam to gloves and remove the 2% threat (that's my opinion only you may decide to keep it)
Elementium Band of the Sentry/Delicate Eternium Ring - Arcatraz/AH or even Andormu's Tear from Black Morass completion (part of the Kara attunement). Ring of the silver hand has very meager avoidance stats.

I am a twenty-something ELL (English Language Learners) teacher. I LOVE my job. It's incredibly rewarding to watch my students interact successfully within an English-speaking society. What I don't love is the hour commute to work--it really cuts into my cooking time.
Cooking is one of my favorite past times! It is such a great way to unwind after a long and stressful day at work.
My now-fiancé discovered he was gluten intolerant in 2007. At first, I was a little disappointed---no more bread, pasta, cookies, cake... But, then I decided it just opened up a whole new challenge. Now, I love trying to perfect gluten-free recipes, whether it is a new cookie recipe or trying to change a "normal" recipe into a gluten-free one.
Aside from kitchen chemistry, I like to spend time with my fiancé, my friends, and my three cats. I also love horseback riding. I've been riding Saddle Seat for about 13 years and am currently volunteering at a therapeutic riding facility--which I love just as much as teaching!
There are so many to list! I love chocolate (anything), Mexican food, Chinese food, Indian food, Japanese food, burgers, steak, curries, pizza, pasta, and pretty much anything off the grill. Anything my mom makes is especially delicious! I like good ol' home cooking and comfort foods. I don't have a super sophisticated palate, but I am a pretty adventurous eater and am willing to try anything (well, most things...) once!

Until Everyone Is Served
By Bill Bolling, Executive Director
I recently attended a family reunion. My family had scattered throughout the country early in my childhood, and some of us hadn't seen each other in many years. An industrious cousin had the idea that we should all meet back home in North Carolina to get reacquainted. It was a little intimidating and exciting all at the same time to think about seeing my only two living aunts and so many cousins, some whom I hadn't seen since I was a kid. What would we all look like? What would we talk about? Would we have anything in common after all these years apart?
Any anxious thoughts I'd had about the reunion melted away as we gathered together. It didn't take long for us to begin telling stories about our grandparents, uncles, aunts, and a few cousins who have long since passed away. Interestingly enough, we met around the dining room table and the conversation inevitably turned to stories about food. We remembered how my grandmother, the matriarch of the family, used food as a way to bring us all together. Food was often the central focus on special occasions whether it was a birthday, anniversary or the passing of a family member.
As we shared memories, it was clear that even the everyday evening meal was special. One of my cousins recalled how my grandfather would secretly slip the kids a handful of peanuts before supper, and we all remembered the bag of homemade oatmeal cookies that always seemed to be on the highest shelf in the pantry, right out of our reach! Summertime meals almost always included two of my grandmother's favorites – watermelon and cantaloupe. And she often drank iced coffee in the afternoons. That seemed so odd to us at the time.
Of course, when it came to proper clothing, shoes and clean hands, there was never any arguing. They were required before we showed up around the table.
Our reunion began with a conversation of food and it easily progressed from there. Food shared at the table of family and friends has been a central connecting point for people throughout recorded history. And while our favorite foods are often as diverse as our cultures, the centrality of how food nurtures and sustains us has always been a common denominator.
When we look at history, it's important to note whether a society developed and sustained the capacity to feed its people. When entire civilizations periodically vanished from our midst, there was inevitably a problem with access to food and water. In more modern times, with the abundance of food in our own country, the political and organizational will to feed our people defines us and our times.
I spoke about this defining of a society in the last issue of Foodsharing, and I'm not ready to stop talking about it. At the time I wrote my last article, 27.9% of Georgia's children were reported to be facing hunger according to the Feeding America Child Food Insecurity study. We recently received the new report, and the number has now risen to 28.3%. I'm wondering when things are going to turn around, and I'm posing the same question I posed in my last article. Would any of us be able to look at a hungry child standing in front of us and tell them they'll have to go without food?
Yet, that is exactly what we will be doing if we pass a Farm Bill that severely cuts SNAP (food stamps) and other federal nutrition programs that provide such a critical and effective
safety-net, especially in light of the continued economic distress our country is experiencing. While the media seems most interested in broadcasting stories about fraud, the fact is that SNAP has a strong record of program integrity. According to a report by USDA, the program has an all-time high accuracy rating of 96.19%, and illegal trafficking only accounts for approximately 1% of the food stamp cases in our country. I encourage you to read more about the Farm Bill on page 9. And I urge you to contact your representatives. They need to hear from us on this matter.
If federal nutrition programs are slashed by billions of dollars – as is being proposed by Congress at press time – food banks and the rest of the nonprofit sector will not be able to fill in the gaps. The need isn't going away. We've just come off the end of our fiscal year and our distribution has increased again. In our last fiscal year (July 1, 2011-June 30 2012), we distributed over 37.4 million pounds of food and groceries, a 3.7 million pound (11%) increase over the nearly 34 million pounds distributed in the prior fiscal year. We are stretched to the limit. Most of our partner agencies are telling us they cannot sustain the increased requests for food. Where will people turn?
ACFB is in the process of wrapping up a new branding campaign that will launch in the coming weeks. Soon to follow will be a new website. The theme that will run through our new messaging is this: "It starts with food." Think about it. It really does start with food. Without food, our children cannot focus in school and we cannot be productive at work. Without food, our health fails. Food is essential to life.
Over the years, each of the programs at the Food Bank began out of a deep commitment that no one should go hungry. We believe that sharing food is the most natural and affirming way to help a family in need. With a shortage of affordable health care, housing, energy and cash to help those in need, food often becomes the entry way toward a deeper relationship and more sustainable future. Being involved in all aspects of food – from growing and harvesting it through our work in community gardening to gleaning it through partnerships with food growers, packers, distributors, marketers and retailers – the Food Bank can be present at many tables.
We are looking forward to the sharing of stories that will inevitably come from the dynamic and interactive nature of our new website. One of our goals is that it will be a place where people will see and hear of the wonderful ways neighbors help neighbors – a place to capture hope – hope represented in young people creating projects to help their elders; hope that is expressed in a warm meal or bag of food, and hope that is reflected in thousands of volunteers who help make things better for others every day.
Just as my family's collective history is full of sustained effort, personal achievement, colorful characters, and sometimes challenging times, every family has similar stories. But unlike our family, who always had enough to eat, we have many families today who would have to come to their family reunions with stories of shame and embarrassment that there wasn't enough food to go around. It doesn't have to be that way.
It starts with food, but it won't end until everyone is served and every family has enough food, support and dignity to look forward to their own family reunions with a sense of pride and abundance.
