Council for Australian-Arab Relations (CAAR)
CAAR Strategic Plan 2013-15
Print version
There are significant opportunities for CAAR to stimulate flagship programs in health and education, and trade links in food-security, resources and energy, and infrastructure.
CAAR will identify opportunities for connections between government, business and community leaders in Australia and Arab countries.
Develop flagship programs
The following example demonstrates how linked sector programs could involve people and organisations with a track record:
Flagship Health Sector partnership between an Australian and Saudi hospital
This health sector partnership addresses Saudi need and offers a high profile vehicle to promote Australian-Saudi relations. This will link to educational sector involvement in health programs and further stimulate trade links.
CAAR will facilitate a flagship program between a leading Australian hospital and a leading Saudi hospital to improve the health of Saudi Arabians:
- The partnership will be endorsed by Australian and Saudi leaders
- There will be a public announcement or launch
- Goals and milestones will be celebrated as they occur
- Opportunities for (proactive) relationship building alongside the 'core' health-oriented program will be maximised.
Tertiary Education program involving Australian Universities and Saudi Alumni
CAAR will encourage and assist the education sector to support the flagship health sector program and to enhance trade opportunities:
- Commensurate health-education programs will be developed for Saudi families and education institutions in support of the flagship health agenda (eg. early childhood development, trauma prevention, cancer awareness)
- Saudi alumni from Australia will be organised to support and publicise the value of the programs.
- In conjunction with Austrade, CAAR will support Australian tertiary institutions promote their degrees to Saudi international students, focusing on vocational sectors in support of trade initiatives (eg. health, food security/agribusiness, infrastructure)
- CAAR will, where possible, facilitate connections for Australian tertiary institutions to package and sell their curricula to Saudi tertiary institutions.
Foster knowledge sharing
CAAR could invite grant submissions from Australian and Saudi tertiary institutions for programs that involve collaboration on shared areas of interest, such as food-security or water management to develop solutions to shared problems.
Support a trade agenda
- Australian Universities could promote their world-class curricula (eg. Health, Earth Sciences) to Saudi Universities.
- Australian Universities could further promote their institutions to potential international students.
- CAAR will assist Tertiary institutions to promote their curricula in sectors that have the potential to increase trade links in priority sectors such as health, food-security and infrastructure.
Stimulate Embryonic Trade Opportunities
CAAR could leverage relationships with industry and government to stimulate trade opportunities and grow Australian engagement.
To the extent that resources allow, CAAR will support opportunities to expand trade links in the sectors of food-security and resources and energy in conjunction with the Australian Arab private sector as well as with Australian-Arab trade and industry groups (eg. AACCI, AGC etc…).
To the extent that resources allow, CAAR should encourage opportunities to expand infrastructure trade links in conjunction with Australian-Arab trade and industry groups (eg. AACCI, AGC etc…).
Leverage Australian-Arab industry groups
CAAR should work with Australian-Arab industry groups to foster effective trade opportunities by:
- Providing connections between Australian and Saudi business
- Providing guidance on succeeding within the Saudi business environment
- Engaging with Australian-Arab business chambers and communities of interest, including but not limited to AGC, AACCI
Stimulating trade opportunities across Arab nations
CAAR should assist Australian businesses and Saudi industry to migrate successful Australian business practices from other Arab nations into Saudi Arabia (and across to other Arab nations where opportunity exists)
Investigating and analysing opportunities for targetted programs
Research is an important input to develop a targeted program to improve cultural relations.
CAAR will establish a panel of researchers to investigate five areas of perception between Australia and the Arab world:
- Perceptions of the Arab world among Australians of Arab-descent
- Perceptions of the Arab world among Australians without an Arab background
- Perceptions of Australia, in the Arab world
- Perceptions of Australia from Australians of various backgrounds
- Educational or exchange opportunities
The research should also assess the types of cultural activities and contact between groups that increase mutual understanding and knowledge between cultures.
A significant amount of research has been conducted to date that should be leveraged to address these areas.

I am growing: german red spanish roja chinese pink russian inferno all of these have sprout except the russian inferno... I've planted them Columbus day weekend (October 14). Not worried just curious.. its my first time growing russian inferno. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know the answer. But I think it might to do with the condition of the bulbs/clove before planting. Were they kept in cold, or room temperature ?, how fresh/old were they ... ? |
- Posted by theforgottenone1013 5b/6a MI (My Page) on Sat, Nov 9, 13 at 19:48
If you planted the Russian Inferno correctly (and I assume you did) then they should be fine. It's not neccesary for garlic to sprout before winter, all it needs to do is grow roots. Now if they don't show up next spring, then you've got a problem. If you're curious you can carefully dig up a clove and check for signs of growth. Rodney |
The Cloves were kept in a brown paper bag at room temperature. I had received the cloves 2 weeks prior to planting them. Thanks for the replies... all of my other garlic has sprouted (except a few of the spanish roja)... so I'll wait it out and see. |
- Posted by KatyaKatya 6 (My Page) on Tue, Dec 17, 13 at 0:03
Some Russian varieties (don't know about that one) were valued for Storage qualities. That would also mean slower sprouting. |
Garlics naturally have tendency to sprout in cooler temperature. I heard this some years ago NOT to store your gralics in the frig as it will hasten sprouting. Instead, keep it at 50 to 65F or at room temper. So it is possible for a variety to require some colder soil temperature to sprout . And also, I think that garlic has a time clock. That means, it will not sprout any/every time that you plant it; it has a mind of its own. |
Sorry about late post. By now your Russian inferno probably came up. I grow Russian inferno and always seems to be the last to emerge, do not know why. Russian inferno is an asiatic garlic which as a group emerge later than other varieties. Hope that helps, but I suspect by now you have seen some sprouting. |

City of Yuma's fire suppression insurance rating among nation's best
- Details
- Published: Wednesday, 06 March 2013 21:38
- Written by Yuma News Now
Yuma, Arizona - A leading insurance industry analyst is upgrading its rating for Yuma's fire suppression delivery system, the City has learned.
The resulting change, effective June 1, means Yuma is among the top dozen or so communities in Arizona who are all rated as class 2 and one of about 700 nationwide with a Public Protection Classification (PPC) of 2 or higher. The rating is issued by ISO Properties Inc., which supplies data and analytics for the property and casualty insurance industry.
The classification upgrade follows a survey and analysis conducted by Insurance Service Organization (ISO) of the City's structural fire suppression delivery system earlier this year.
A high PPC rating from ISO is desirable for cities as it can and often does result in lower prices for personal or commercial property insurance. More importantly, it is another measurement of how prompt and effective the City's fire suppression services are – not only by firefighters by also the water utility, dispatch, and information technology systems that support them.
"I am proud of the department and grateful for the support of the public, the Mayor, the Council and City Administration," said Yuma Fire Department Chief Jack McArthur. "Our firefighters improved our score by increasing training hours. Our mechanics maintained our equipment consistent with ISO standards. Our administrative staff kept the records needed to prove our compliance with ISO standards. And our dispatchers achieved a perfect score on our ability to send and receive alarms."
Of course, firefighters need water to put out blazes – and that's where the City's Utilities department factors into ISO's rating system.
"We do all we can to maintain the water distribution system to make sure the water's there when YFD needs to fight a fire," said Jay Simonton, Director of Utilities for the City of Yuma. "We go above and beyond what's merely required to make sure the water's there when they need it most."
That "above and beyond" includes consistent maintenance programs for booster pumps, hydrants, storage tanks and treatment plants and quick response times whenever a there's a leak in a water main, Simonton said. Pumps and storage facilities have been upgraded as well.
"This analysis and better rating means that we are providing the best fire service in Arizona, bar none," said City Administrator Greg Wilkinson. "All the hard work pays off to make sure that YFD is positioned to get there quickly to save lives; second, to save property and limit damage; and third, to save homeowners and business owners some money on their fire insurance.
"In all the areas of the City, our employees have done a great job in providing the support and services needed to protect our customers," he continued. "YFD over the last year has concentrated on additional training. It's hard to bring in a class 2 rating – all involved deserve a lot of credit."
ISO's PPC scale runs from 1 to 10, with one being the best. According to 2011 ISO statistics, only 61 areas out of 47,242 across the nation achieved a class 1 rating, and only 653 were graded at class 2. Previously, Yuma was rated at a class 3, which then placed it among the top 12 percent of Arizona communities.
According to ISO, most U.S. insurers use PPC ratings for underwriting and calculating premiums for residential, commercial and industrial properties. They use PPC information when deciding what business to write, which types of coverage to offer or what to charge for property insurance prices.
Insurance companies independently determine the premiums they charge policyholders. As a company's rates can depend on other factors, such as the company's own experience with fire-loss claims, the improved PPC is not a sure sign that rates will fall.

We have a 5 years old home in north Georgia, subdivision is very wooded, we see squirrels outside, feed tons of birds and have a groundhog that has a huge hole in the back of our property, had a visiting raccoon once last year too for a week who went away, we leave everybody alone.
Can anybody help? Thanks a lot Patrick |
Follow-Up Postings:
You may have to stop feeding the birds, the squirrels are attracted by free food too. Scared squirrels are vicious, don't get too near to it. Maybe you should borrow a terrier. It needn't have contact with the animal, just find the hole it entered and scare it. But don't let it get deeper into the wall. I never had woodchucks or any animal problems when I had a terrier. You need to get it out of there fast before it damages your house and moves its family in. You might have to call a professional. The sooner the better. |
Paula I bought a trap and of course no more noise in the last 36 hours. I am sure it will come back. Will set trap to start to capture alive. Thanks for your help Patrick |
That's a good idea. Good luck! |
When this happened to us, we were told to wait till the critter leaves the house to find food, usually during the day, then plug up the hole that they are using to get inside the walls--got to find that entrance though |
Pence It's gone, it never came back. We believe it was a squirrel that came through a vent on the roof (We can see the vents). Thanks Patrick |
It could have been a bird. In our old house there was a scratching noise inside an interior wall. I cut a hole and it was a bird that I let outside. I patched the wall and then it happened again!!! After repeating the procedure I checked the attic. The birds had been going inside the plastic dryer vent tubing that vented our bathroom to the outside. After I repaired that and put screen over the vent cover outside, then the bird out for good. When I was in the attic I saw a dead bird too, but that apparently wasn't enough warning to keep the others out. |
i have a birds nest somewhere under my roofing,i can hear the birds cheerping clearly. For the last two weeks something is scratching the walls in my bedroom(the only room i hear anything), it sounds heavy when it's moving, i hear the feet scratching during the day,at night i hear nothing.Someone help! what is going on up there? do i need to call a professinal? and by the whom should i call? I would appreciate any advice...thanks |

we have a squirrel in our wall we live in austin texas and two nights ago we herd a scratching in our closet we went to go check it out and there was a small hole in the wall. today we heard it again so we went back to where we covered it up with duck tape and a big piece of metal and there was a big hole and we could only see two squirrels. we live in texas so we like to hunt we shot the squirrels with a bb gun and it turns out there are four. so we shot again and again and we killed the mother and one baby so the father and other baby are some where else in the wall so now we dont know what to do. should we fumigate them or wait till they come back and then shoot them |

this exact thing is happening as i type. i live on the top part of a duplx and the noise is horrible. whatever it is it has major claws and it sounds to me like its about to come out of my furnis. i am renting this place and i just want to run out of here now! i live with my son and he is sound asleep. i cant sleep....omg i hear it.....i wanna run |

It is so dumb for builders to build a house without sealing up dryer vents, sewer vent lines, chimneys etc. against birds and critters. It's not that hard to do. Jessica, call your landlord and tell them to have a look on the roof and see where it's getting in. A little chicken wire will probably fix it, unless whatever it is has actually chewed a hole in the building or found some other damaged area to get in. |
"sealing up dryer vents, sewer vent lines" Most dryer vents have movable flaps, but birds can quickly learn hot to flip the single flap style open. The outlets with 3-4 louvers across the outlet seem ta fare better. Sewer vent lines do not go anywhere but into pipes. |
- Posted by toxcrusadr (My Page) on Tue, Aug 30, 11 at 10:30
I have a high efficiency furnace with 2" PVC pipes coming out the back of the house horizontally for the air intake and exhaust. We had put a piece of screen over them to keep the wasps and birds out. Furnace guy comes to fix something, checks the vent and says you don't need that, it can just clog up and block the flow. He takes it off. I said what about mud dauber wasps? Oh, they won't make a nest in there, the pipe is too smooth and shiny. Guess what? Pipe clogs up with mud daubers. Clean out and reinstall screen. Next spring, bird nests in the dryer vent right next to it. Clean out and install screen. Duh! |

Below is a small preview of how the Story Mode in TNA: Impact works. I should warn you that it will spoil a bit of the original story. If you don't like to know about the story, skip the "creating your character"-part of this article, and head straight to "some side comments".
Creating your character
You start of as Suicide (unless you choose to start with one of your previously created characters), and Suicide is one of the most amazing things to ever happen to wrestling. You are getting a title shot, however LAX wants you to take a dive, and do the job. Suicide however refuses to and wins the title. After the match LAX beats Suicide down.
Suicide wakes up in a back alley in Mexico, and can't remember who he is anymore. Mexico, as we all know, is filled with pro bono plastic surgeons that do such an amazing job they can alter the entire appearance of your superstar (Vince Russo himself could not have come up with this storyline). This is the "create-a-wrestler"-part of Story Mode, you can completely change the looks of Suicide and give him all his moves and his introduction. One minor point here is that you can't preview the moves you choose or the introduction, you'll have to wait for your first match to know exactly what you chose.
You can't remember a thing, but you just feel that you should be wrestling, so you wrestle some smaller matches in Mexico. Later on you'll be noticed by a TNA-guy and he offers you a "Foot-in-the-door"-match. If you win, you come to the TNA tryouts. There you will get guidance from Kevin Nash, and he gives you an ultra-strong tag team partner, Eric Young. It seems like you'll be having many frustrating tag matches with Eric as your partner before Kevin Nash once again pops up and talks about the future of your tag team. IGN notes that the Eric Young part of the story mode is perhaps dragged on for too long, so future gamers be warned of a rather boring start of your career. However, once that part is over, the story is interesting to follow.
Some side comments/complaints
IGN comments that the story is very linear. Seeing how you're not a TNA superstar, every storyline can be fixed with a given number of TNA superstars, not like in SvR, where the story changes protagonists if you play with The Undertaker for example. Also, it seems you cannot make a single choice in your storyline, you can't communicate with superstars or anything. You just sit there, watch the cutscenes and play the matches the game gives you. Also, if you lose a match in story mode, you'll have to replay it until you win it. There's no branching the storylines.
You can choose which fighting style you are at the start of the game, but it seems to be a choice that has very little impact. Every fighting style has the exact same moves. Everyone has both the Mexican headscissors and the Death Valley Driver. Also, the moveset seems rather limited. For example, you can only choose from 27 finishers. Normally, superstars can choose up to 7 grapples, but in game superstars only have 4 grapples. How come? Different combinations often make your superstar do the same move, this is to add realism, so that you will not see superstars do moves in the game they'll never do in real life.
You can't really alter your superstars weight, height, gender,... You have to make a model that closely ressembles Suicide, the original superstar you get in the game.

Discuss it on the wrestling forum
who really is suicide? like is he a real wrestler or something?

Well sounds rather boring but in my day of when wretslign games were fun their was only one storyline. War Zones random grudge matches but few match types and one prymid nobody complained. Wrestlemania for super NES had mortal kombat type you face this guy then these two then 3 on 1 matches. grr I ahte handicap matches. ECW ANarchy rules used different weapon swings plus added blood later ripped off by Attitude. The four grapple system came out for No mercy and smackdown orginal game plus no your role added females. WCW backstage Assult and WCW Maythem had linear move tables. Less characters so the linear move table was taken out for better graphics. WCW Nitro you couldn't even create a character so yea guys wrestlign games have evolved but not TNA is taken you all back to the dark ages of wrestling games. I feel those day your in ring knowledge had to be different no selecting th biggest moves. You actually have to think about how to fight your oppent. So maybe this game will help you with your here comes the paina nd SvR skills. To em this game is a reminder of the golden age of wrestling game. War Zone move list limited to the set moves and you still rocked.

I'll still give them a "well done" for putting together a game to challenge the WWE with, but it all looks a bit too limited so far. Might be a good starting-point for a sequel, let's say. If svr08 was coming out around the same time as this TNA game, then I might get the TNA one. But svr09 looks a lot better so I think my money will most likely go on svr09. If that kind of thinking crushes their sales figures, then I hope that doesn't put them off doing a follow-up. The svr series has had about, what, 12 games to get it right? So I hope the impact series has a fair chance too. Doesn't sound like they've produced a miracle first game though. I was alright with the limited roster... tenuous on no female caws (although at least it's not insulting like the wwe games can be)... but not many moves to choose out of?

A ban on traditional wood burning stoves and stopping leaks from long distance gas pipelines are among measures that could help slow global temperature rises in coming years, a group of leading atmospheric scientists has found.
Such measures would curb so-called black carbon, a major component of soot, and ground level ozone, a big part of urban smog, says a new study coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme and World Meteorological Organisation.
The report was released in Bonn, where delegates from more than 190 countries are struggling to make progress in the latest round of talks under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, an international treaty that came into force in 1994 to tackle global warming.
Many global warming efforts focus on cutting emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas.
But the authors of the new study say their work has shed new light on how black carbon and tropospheric ozone – found in the lower layer of the atmosphere – contribute to climate change.
They say their recommendations should not be seen as an alternative to cutting carbon dioxide emissions but an important addition.
"This report has brought clarity to the complexity of the heating and cooling effects of a range of pollutants and uses the science to show that there are clear and concrete measures that can be undertaken to help protect the global climate in the short to medium term," said Drew Shindell of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who chaired the assessment.
"Perhaps the most intriguing link is between emissions of methane and the formation of tropospheric ozone. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas in its own right, but it has emerged that it is also triggering a great deal more global warming by contributing to the formation of significant levels of ground level ozone – indeed more than was previously supposed."
The study recommends a series of measures, many of which are already in use in many countries.
They include:
- Replacing wood burning stoves in developed countries with pellet stoves and boilers using fuel from recycled wood and sawdust.
- Making diesel particle filters for vehicles part of emissions and fuel standards.
- Banning open burning of agricultural waste.
- Upgrading water treatment works to include gas recovery.
- Cutting methane emissions from coal, oil and gas industries.
If such measures were fully implemented, the projected temperature rise between now and the 2030s could roughly halve, the study says, though its authors concede more work needs to be done on how to introduce such steps globally.
Further study is also required to determine the costs of such measures.
Without action to curb climate change emissions, scientists have estimated global temperatures will rise on average by a further 1.3 degrees Celsius by mid-century.

KOHIMA: Forest Survey of India (FSI) and the Nagaland department of forest will launch an extensive project to map the state's forest cover and create an inventory of green resources. The process will enable the state prepare a district-wise forest management plans as mandated by the 13th Finance Commission Awards.
Saying that officials will use remote-sensing GIS tools and satellite data for the project, M Lokehwara Rao, additional principal chief conservator of forests, said Nagaland will become the first state in the northeast to map its forest cover. Forest Survey of India, Dehradun, which functions under the ministry of environment and forests, is expected to complete the process in 18 months.
"A tentative work plan has been chalked out after detailed discussions and the entire project should be complete within 18 months. It is significant to note that, as pointed out by the officials of Forest Survey of India, Nagaland is the first northeastern state to embark upon this ambitious project using remotely sensed satellite data," stated the release.
FSI officials and the state forest department had a meeting on Wednesday in Kohima to chalk out the strategy for the project. The meeting, chaired by Amardeep Bhatia, commissioner and secretary, department of forests, was attended by Dr C L Goel, principal chief conservator of forests and other senior and middle-level officers of the department.

If you like the itinerary below please quote REF TURKEY 630 when enquiring for further details.
Alternatively you may like modify this trip with your own Holiday Wish List
Welcome to Turkey! Arrive Istanbul airport and included transfer to our hotel. The remainder of the afternoon offers free time for you to relax or explore.
Enjoy a tour of the Old City from where the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires were ruled. We'll visit the stunning Blue Mosque famed for it's blue Iznik tiles, Hippodrome, Hagia Sofia - constructed as a Basilica in the 6th century by Emperor Justinian and Topkapi Palace.
Today we explore ANZAC Cove and the many memorials dotted across the WW1 battlefields. Our guided tour takes in sights such as ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine Memorial and cemetery, Chunuk Bair Memorial and cemetery, the Nek, Johnston's Jolly and the many fortified trenches still clearly visible amongst the scrub after all these years.
At Troy (the inspiration for Homer's Illiad and much more recently the movie Troy) we visit the Trojan Horse and ruins. We enjoy a guided tour of the ancient city that dates back to 3000BC! En route to Kusadasi, we explore the ruins of Pergamum with it's impressive temples, library and medical facilities which made it a famous cultural and political centre of it's time.
Today, we explore legendary Ephesus - positively the best-preserved classical city in the eastern Mediterranean. Ephesus, under the Romans was a vast city with a population nearing 250,000, revelling in prosperity from commerce and visiting pilgrims who came to see its great Temple of Artemis - one of the Seven Ancient Wonders. We have plenty of time to tour the marble ruins of Ephesus. Be sure to see the famous Library of Celsus, the gymnasium of Vedius, Stadium, and the Great Theatre. We'll see ancient public toilets, a brothel, fountains and various temples. We also visit a carpet manufacturing house.
Meandering through the sweeping plains and endless cotton farms we arrive at the ruins of Roman Hieropolis and the hot springs of Pamakkule. Admire this surreal landscape created by frequent earthquakes in the fault depression of the Menderes river basin. Marvel at the crystalline marble, quartzites and stalagtites, which shimmer in the sunlight. There will be time to paddle our feet as you walk the terraces or opt for a dip in the thermal baths. Later we stop at a leather manufacturing house.
Arriving at the lakeside town of Koycegiz, we embark upon a boat cruise to Turtle Beach and smother ourselves in mud at the local mud bath. We continue our journey to Fethiye, a charming port town on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, fringed by the Taurus Mountains where we'll spend the next two nights.
After breakfast today we explore the quaint Greek village of Kayakoy. This afternoon we drive to Oludeniz, a popular resort town which is home to the beautiful Blue Lagoon. Here you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a swim before travelling back to neighbouring Fethiye.
Today we visit the stunningly beautiful Saklikent Gorge, Turkey's longest and deepest canyon, take a walk through nature, or just relax and watch the world go by from the fig tree-shaded wooden platforms that overlook the river. Weaving our way through the Touros Mountains we arrive to Antalya visiting the Duden Waterfalls en route.
Early morning departure for Cappadocia, en route we visit the ancient theatre of Aspendos. Arriving at Konya, we tour the monastery of the Mevlana whirling dervishes and the mausoleum of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi. A further stop is made along the Silk Road at the Seljuk - a fine example of an ancient Silk Road caravanserai. Arriving in the stunning Cappadocia region - an extraordinary national treasure. The utter improbability of the seemingly surreal landscapes have to be seen to be believed, where whole troglodyte villages, subterranean churches and fortresses have been hewn from the soft, porous, eerily eroded rock of Cappadocia.
A guided tour of the region includes the World Heritage Listed Goreme Valley to see stunning examples of rock-cut Byzantine churches and chapels, Kaymaki Underground City and Uchisar Castle. Stopping on the outskirts of Goreme Village we have the opportunity to see Pigeon Valley where century's old pigeon houses are carved into the surrounding cliffs. Here you will also have the opportunity to visit an Onyx shop, specialising in historic jewellery designs unique to Turkey and using local materials and craftsmen. For those not interested in shopping spend a little time relaxing and grab a drink from the local cafe. An optional Turkish dinner and folklore evening is available tonight.
Enjoy an early morning hot air balloon flight over lunar landscape. Via Ankara and the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk we arrive at the World Heritage Listed town of Safranbolu. The town boasts many graceful Ottoman homes, once the residences of royalty and artisan work shops crafting traditional Turkish wares. Tonight we stay in an Ottoman mansion home. Overnight Ebrulu Konak
This morning we embark on a walking tour of the old town before returning to Istanbul with an afternoon visit to the Grand Bazaar.The remainder of the afternoon and evening offers free time.
We say goodbye as our tour concludes after breakfast and onward departure transfer to the airport.
The earliest settle of Kusadasi dates back to the Leleges people in 3000BC and all through the ages, Kusadasi was ...

Brenchel Flashback: Gameplay
Brendon and Rachel talk game from Seasons 12 and 13
Last week it was JeJo Flashback Week, and this week and next, we'll be sharing exclusive footage of Brenchel!
Today's video is a compilation of SuperPass footage from Big Brother seasons 12 and 13. Now we get to compare Rachel and Brendon from before they ever stepped a foot into the Big Brother house to Rachel's Season 13 post-win in the house backyard.
Pre-season 12 Rachel said she planned to play the game in a bikini and she did. So she stuck to her word. Obvi. Post-season 13 Rachel mentioned how much she evolved as a player. But thankfully for some, she stuck to her bikini rule. Obvi.
"I wasn't the same Rachel from last year," she said in the SuperPass backyard interview."I wasn't so aggressive … I was playing a social game … a smart game."
She also talks about adjusting to the BB13 game after Brendon and Jeff were evicted and it was just herself and Jordan left in the veterans alliance.
Watch HOURS of Brendon and Rachel videos on SuperPass!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Kourtney!
Facts about Kourtney
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Kourtney's Info...
The Kardashians
We've been bustling this weekend keeping up with the Kardashians… Kris is here with two of her daughters, Khloe and Kourtney and these debutantes are as busy as they are beautiful!! Kris is a black & white double pawed beauty while Khloe & Kourtney have the most striking markings on their luxurious tabby coats. These socialites are in great demand so let us now quickly which Kardashian you would like to keep as a new member of your kin… Kris is estimated to be between 1 and 2 years old, Khloe is 7 months old, and Kourtney is 2 months old. If you are interested in meeting The Kardashians or other cats/kittens in our care waiting for a home, please call 508-695-4707 (leave a message if need be!). Paws of Plainville, Inc. is dedicated to helping the homeless cats in the local area. We are an all volunteer, nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible and can be sent to P.O. Box 2236, Plainville, MA 02762. For more information, please visit us at www.pawsofplainville.org.
Other Pets at Paws of Plainville, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kourtney, a Plainville Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Plainville, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Plainville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Plainville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Plainville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Plainville paves the way for another one to be saved.

First, the good news: in Puget Sound, many eelgrass populations are holding steady.
Now, the bad news: researchers found sharp declines in five shallow bays in the San Juan Islands and in 14 localized sites in greater Puget Sound. The entire Hood Canal has also had steady declines in eelgrass areas.
The findings are from a study published late last year by the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR). As part of
an ongoing program to monitor the condition of eelgrass, DNR will track its status yearly, and complete another study by the end of 2007.
Eelgrass provides important habitat for forage fish, juvenile salmon and several species of marine birds. Since 2000, scientists with DNR Nearshore Habitat Program have been studying the abundance of eelgrass in Puget Sound.
Though the overall picture looks good, scientists will be closely monitoring areas of decline.
"We are focusing attention on these localized areas in case they signal the first symptoms of a growing problem," said Pete Dowty, Ph.D., ecologist with DNR and main author of the report. "We still don't know what's causing the declines."
This year, DNR staff will launch a new initiative aimed at gaining a better understanding of eelgrass declines.
DNR's Nearshore Habitat Program conducts eelgrass monitoring as one part of the Puget Sound Assessment and Monitoring Program (PSAMP), which the Action Team coordinates.
To download the report, Puget Sound Submerged Vegetation Monitoring Project: 2003-2004 Monitoring Report, go to www.psat.wa.gov/eelgrass.
These eelgrass studies are part of the 2005-2007 Puget Sound Conservation and Recovery Plan, which the Action Team develops to guide state agencies, other governments and entities in their work to protect and restore the Sound. First-year results from the plan will be published this summer. Visit www.psat.wa.gov/plan

Alternatively, students who participate in study abroad can search for their own international co-op opportunity to pursue once the study abroad program is complete. For more information about Drexel study abroad's programs, please visit www.drexel.edu/studyabroad.

Never one to be left out, lil' bro Rob Kardashian didn't get a stake in his older sisters' latest fashion collaboration, the Kardashian Kollection, so he branched out on his own with a sock line called Arthur George. For 30 bucks a pop, guys can wrap their tootsies in his zigzag, zebra or a ballerina-and-buggy adorned socks.

Results from online surveys – done in fall 2005 as part of UNMC's comprehensive self-study for reaccreditation by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA) – provide a glimpse into the perceptions faculty, staff and students have of UNMC's strengths and opportunities.
Each of the faculty, staff and student surveys focused on the five Higher Learning Commission criteria and their "core components," which are critical to meeting the accreditation standards:
- Mission and integrity in carrying out its mission.
- Preparing for the future.
- Student learning and effective teaching.
- Research and a life of learning.
- Community engagement and service.
Each survey asked faculty, staff and students to provide their impressions of UNMC's strengths and unmet needs. Participants were asked to respond to each statement using one of five responses ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
Overall, responses from all three groups were very positive with many similarities among faculty and staff responses. In addition, with support from the chancellor, six statements have been selected by the executive and steering committees for further examination and comment by UNMC deans and directors.
With a 77.4 percent response rate, 602 UNMC faculty members indicated a general agreement with the 23 statements. The great majority of faculty agreed that:
- UNMC's mission is clear (90.4 percent);
- UNMC realistically prepares for a future shaped by multiple trends (81.1 percent).
- UNMC promotes faculty, staff and student learning across the institution (80.6 percent).
- UNMC demonstrates that it values research (91.1 percent).
- UNMC has a commitment to engage with constituencies and communities (78.4 percent).
Although agreement was lowest for the statement that evaluation and assessment guide institutional strategies for improvement in their unit, the overall response was still largely positive (58.1 percent). The following three statements also showed lower agreement levels with about six out of 10 faculty members agreeing:
- UNMC administrative structures promote effective leadership (61 percent);
- UNMC internal decision-making processes promote participation and support collaboration (62.5 percent); and
- UNMC learns from its constituencies to determine their needs (65.8 percent).
Responses by UNMC staff members were quite similar to those of UNMC faculty. Of the 1,755 completed surveys – which account for a 70 percent response rate - the majority agreed that UNMC demonstrates it values research. Almost nine out of 10 responding staff agreed that UNMC's mission is clear (89.9 percent).
There also was strong agreement with such statements as:
- UNMC upholds and protects its integrity as an institution dedicated to social good (89.4 percent).
- UNMC mission statement recognizes the diversity of its learners, constituencies and society (87.8 percent).
- UNMC promotes faculty, staff and student learning across the institution (82 percent).
As with faculty, responding staff agreement was lowest for the statement that evaluation and assessment processes guide strategies for improvement in their units (54.6 percent).
The vast majority of the 1,146 student respondents (a 60.8 percent response rate) agreed with the 23 survey statements. In fact, 14 of the 23 items had agreement levels of 90 percent or higher, and one statement - UNMC demonstrates that it values research - had almost universal agreement (96.7 percent).
Student agreement was lowest (still 71.9 percent) for the statement: Results from course evaluations and assessments guide strategies for improvement in my educational program and teaching.
"Overall, however, student responses validated that UNMC is doing a good job with learning and effective teaching," Dr. Benson said.

I am trying to clean up a mess made by a bad contractor. We have an alcove tub, and on the outer walls of either side, he ended the wainscoting and trim abruptly, without any other trim. Unfortunately, the gap on the right hand wall is about one inch wider than that on the left. (See link to pictures below.) Whatever solution will have to account for that. I was thinking about regular casing molding, and I put some up but it looked ridiculous where it met the baseboard and crown. Should I use cove molding? With the cove, there is no way it will be deep enough to merge with the end of the wains cap molding. Also, I have limited skill - I can handle cutting moldings, but I am by no means a woodworker.
Thanks for any help you can provide! |

Don't try to hide it, finish it the way he should have. Any other thing will look like it's covering up a botched installation. Add enough wainscot to complete the panel on either side of the door. You might have to buy another panel of it if there are no scraps, and remove part of the installed stuff so you don't have a tiny strip at the door. Remove the molding from the door to the wall and cut a new piece that is long enough to fill the wall. Use the removed molding to wrap around the door frame like the baseboard does. |
- Posted by someone2010 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 21, 10 at 19:28
Where do you want the wainscot to end? Where it ends now? At the end of the wall? Or to wrap around the wall and cover the inside of the opening? Or to wrap around the wall, wrap around the opening, and end against the tub? |
- Posted by someone2010 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 21, 10 at 20:11
Wherever you want to stop the wainscot, the end of the chair rail should be mitered and returned. Here's how you do that. 1. You cut the end of the chair rail at a 45 degree angle just as if you were going around a corner. 2. You cut a piece of scrap chair rail at a opposite 45 degree angle starting at the inside corner. One side or the triangle should be the outside face of the scrap chair molding. It will be the exact thickness of your chair molding. 3. Now you can glue your piece onto the end of the chair molding and clamp with tape or spring clamps till the glue dries. This will give your chair rail a finished look on the ends. You can probably find a picture of this if you google "mitered and returned molding". |

It was supposed to end at the end of the wall but I was wondering how that would look to have raw beadboard just stop and stick out from the wall. My other issues is there is metal stripping that goes all the way up the corner of the wall. Thanks for your advice everyone! |
- Posted by someone2010 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 26, 10 at 4:03
You can have the beadboard stop short of the end of the wall or at the end, whatever you prefer. The metal strips sound like the ones used on drywall corners. |

I want everyone to know, the signs are down at the Lenny's in Memphis on Highland Ave. They came down the day after I posted about them here in this thread: Leyy's Thread
I received an email from the owner of store #544, who is a very pleasant lady and who listened to our argument and saw the logic in it quickly and took her no carry signs down. She is still getting email and calls about the signs so please, if you email or call, do so just to thank her for seeing the logic in our argument, not to complain that she had signs up at all.
Below is the email I got today from her:
Good Morning Mike,
I am still not back in Memphis so haven't had a chance to speak with you. Looks like your concern has been well publicized. Whatever you did to got others to take notice, would you do the same by notifying them that we have worked through this and that I have taken the signs down. We got several other direct emails that I responded to also. I think we are on the same page now aren't we?
Thanks much!!

Japan is crazy for Twitter. And Facebook? Hardly
Our old Industry Standard colleague Jackie Cohen astutely points this one out: In Japan, Twitter is on the verge of knocking off the incumbent Mixi as the country's top social networking platform. Meanwhile, Facebook's popularity there is stagnant at best.
Cohen, writing for AllFacebook, says Mixi is holding on to the top spot in Japan with 13.5 million unique visitors, just 300,000 more than Twitter. Facebook, meanwhile, is a distant Number 3 with 5.3 million visitors (we think she means "visitors"; not "users"). Here's the chart showing growth in the past year, courtesy of comScore:
That users/visitors distinction we allude to above is an important metric to point out. It's a good indication to measure registered users (the yard stick used to determine social network size), still it's not the same thing.
Still, Twitter's Japanese momentum hardly surprises us. We pointed out recently that Twitter, at this stage in its operating history, is actually larger than Facebook at the same point in its development.

Visited on 2/16/14 and a sign on the front door read: "closed until further notice, and when we reopen, we will only be open in the weekends." Looks like a cool museum. Even the lamp posts outside have dragons on them.
We later took a buggy ride in downtown Chattanooga, and the driver said the owner of the dragon museum passed away two weeks ago.
[Tansy Ridings, 02/19/2014]This is from their brochure- "Dragon Dreams houses a unique collection of dragons that have been accumulated since 1975. Over 2,000 dragons of all types are on display in eight rooms. See unusual one-of-a-kind antiques, delicate porcelains, hand-crafted figurines and furniture. Dragons made of wood, silver, jade, ivory, pewter, porcelain, and fabric. The colorful collection is a delight to the eye and most people are amazed at the variety of items embellished with dragons. The deversified items range from modern fantasy dragons to medieval style dragons to exquisite oriental designs. The collection is a mixture of modern to antique."
They also have a large gift shop with lots of dragons and other fantasy items.

I honestly didn't really want to shoot fireworks at all but had nothing better to do and best of all, spent it with the good company of Michael Bonocore, Joe Azure, Matt Granz and Ellie Stone! One thing I really wanted to do this time was create a pano just before the show that I could bring the fireworks into later. I am pretty happy with how it turned out and have a few more I am working on. For now here is the first one! This shot is about 19,000px wide.

That's right, you read that correctly. 25 mother effin' different covers. For it's biggest world exclusive ever, Empire Magazine is rolling out twenty-five different covers over the course of today. Each major cast member will receive their own treatment.
"#XMen cast & I are exclusively revealing 25 @EmpireMagazine covers, one every hour, starting now. #Empire25," director Bryan Singer tweeted.
The cast from the original X-Men movies (Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Shawn Ashmore, Daniel Cudmore, Ellen Page) join forces with the X-Men: First Class bunch (James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult) to tell this epic tale.
The film sees X-Men fighting for their lives in an apocalyptic future where Sentinel robots (see above photo), created by Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), have laid waste to mutant and humankind. To prevent this catastrophe, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is sent back in time to warn 1970s Professor X about the future and the event that sets everything in motion.
Be sure to check this post often to see the updates. Weigh in afterward on which cover is your favorite and least favorite.
Last week, rumors that another veteran from the original X-Men trilogy joining X-Men: Days of Future Past surfaced. They were started by none other than James McAvoy who plays the younger Charles Xavier in the reboot series. The 33-year-old Scottish actor slipped up by including Alan Cumming's name with Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman and others as coming back to the franchise. Cumming appeared as Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler in 2003′s X2. Turns out those rumors were false… or were they.
Cumming revealed that he hadn't "gotten the call" from Bryan Singer. Since the rumors surfaced, the director has neither confirmed nor denied Cumming's addition. In a photo released via Twitter, however, Singer did reveal a few casting additions not previously released. One of which is Daniel Cudmore who played Colossus in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. Glad the Canadian star is back in the fold. He's one tall drink of hotness. Find out the other newbies joining X-Men: Days of Future Past below.

Could You Live in a Tech-Free Home?
No microwave. No electric coffeemaker. No digital clocks. No TV. No internet. Could you do it? One San Francisco family, featured in the January issue of Sunset, has unplugged their home. Laura Jo Wegman and Donovan Corliss use a stovetop coffeemaker and rotary phone, and have transformed their home office into a home studio, complete with arts and crafts supplies for their two children, ages 4 and 6.
What's fascinating is the juxtaposition between this low-tech lifestyle and beautiful, modern home decor. That is no simple feat.
For me, I'd like to find the middle ground, from trying a daylong digital detox or establishing tech-free times of the days.
I could: give up my coffeemaker and use a french press; limit television time; turn my phone off at night.
I couldn't: give up the Internet and my phone entirely; is a digital camera off limits, too?
What about you?

With Cuban cigars and an open-air patio that evoke a Caribbean atmosphere, this Bojnice cocktail bar is situated in bustling Hubanovo Square. Inside, well-dressed patrons dance to Cuban rhythms and other tunes, while sipping classic drinks ranging from Manhattans mixed with Canadian whisky to cups of hot-buttered rum. In fitting with the club's West Indies theme, the menu also includes island-inspired cocktails like the Cuba Libre, made with Havana Club rum, lime juice, citrus wedges, and cola. While the drink list is extensive, the snacks number just two: peanuts and salted chips.
Insider Tip:
Before a night of dancing at Varadero, walk five minutes west to explore the Romantic Bojnice Castle, parts of which date back to the 12th century.

Officers' Quarters: Last will and testament {WoW}
May 18th 2009 5:55PM My guild is having a very similar problem, but the gbank has been solved. Our participation has been going down steadily with the release of 3.1, even though recruitment is up. the first week 3.1 was out, we had more raiders on than we could fit into the raid. Now we're lucky to have 10 on at a time, though never for long enough or the right combo for a 10m Uld. I try to schedule, post on our website, etc, nothing is helping.
Perhaps the tipping point is one of our officers getting his account info stolen and the evil doers stealing everything from our gbank. Perhaps we'll get it back, that would be nice. But if we break up, we won't have to worry about the gbank I guess.

Ghostcrawler on long term defense changes {WoW}
Nov 25th 2008 11:53AM I can't say for sure what a Death Knight tank would want, but Adam's paragraph of what stats mean what to each tank class is misleading/not complete.
Druid's avoidance comes completely from Dodging, Missing and Armor. They cannot block or parry. The talent Survival of the Fittest decreases their chance to be critically hit by 6%, which is over the 5.6% crit reduction needed for tanking boss mobs.
Paladins and Warriors gain less threat when they Parry, Dodge or are missed, but those are still very important stats to have, since it is unrealistic to have all mitigation done through those stats. Block and Armor are very important too.
Death Knights can't block, but the rest of the defensive stats are useful.

Judge Guzmán was the first to prosecute former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet on human rights violations committed during his presidency. Judge Guzmán received the Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights award in 2005 for his work. This award is given out by the Washington D.C. based Institute for Policy Studies to commemorate Orlando Letelier and Ronni Miller who were killed in 1976 by agents of the Chilean secret service. A documentary entitled "The Judge and the General" released in 2008 tells the story of Judge Guzmán's attempts to bring Pinochet to justice.
Judge Guzmán will be in Boise on April 6 and in Moscow on April 7 and 8, 2015.
The Sherman J. Bellwood Lectures bring prominent and highly regarded local, regional and national leaders to the state of Idaho and the University of Idaho campus. Students have the opportunity to discuss, examine and debate a wide-range of subjects related to the justice system.
Throughout his distinguished career, Judge Sherman J. Bellwood was committed to the legal profession and to legal education. In one of his last and most generous contributions to legal education, Judge Bellwood endowed the Sherman J. Bellwood Lectures at the College of Law. According to the terms of his will, Judge Bellwood's purpose in establishing this endowment was "to enable the College of Law to invite and present persons learned in the law to lecture on legal subjects from time to time." This endowment is the largest endowed lectureship at the University of Idaho.
