An on-board makeup table, push-button transmissions, a simple knob attached to the steering wheel: These were the outside-of-the-box features that auto designers dreamed up to thrill consumers in the 1950s and '60s.
Let's take a closer look at that retractable hardtop on the Fairlane, which Ford reportedly spent a staggering $400 million developing, here sold by Lucille Ball and a disbelieving Ricky Ricardo:
By now you've noticed that car adverts from that era are liberally sprinkled with the casual sexism of the day. In the video below we see the ill-fated Edsel's unique steering-wheel-mounted transmission interface, presented to a woman as being "as easy as flicking a light switch." (And independent of sexism, check out the interesting speedometer design and its user-set visual alarm.)
While it's easy for feminists to simply be offended by the gender views of the time, if you can get past the inherent sexism of these Oldsmobile sales training videos—designed to show the male salesman how to sell cars that feature "what women want"—you can at least see what the auto designers were thinking. Recessed door handles were viewed as less likely to catch on clothes during egress and ingress:
In the pre-Danica-Patrick era, it was assumed that women would be intimidated by driving large, powerful cars—so we see the advent of tilt/telescoping steering columns and adjustable power seats:
Part Three of the video series takes a bit of a darker turn into scare tactics. But interestingly, the way they start off describing what design features will interest women, could be used to describe the modern-day consumer of any gender: People care more about the user experience, i.e. what a product will do for them, and not so much about how those things are technologically accomplished.
These last two videos have nothing to do with auto design features, but more to do with how to scam would-be car buyers of the era, and I include them just because they're funny. Apparently, back in the day, some foul-mouthed west coast car dealers would have a little fun at night: After shooting a conventional car commercial for their dealerships, they'd then shoot a darker, more honest, swear-word-filled version that detailed exactly how they'd rip customers off. Obviously these videos were never intended to air, and be warned: These are NSFW!

Source and Reflected Color
Name: Emily Status: student Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
When I shone a blue tinted daylight bulb into a light blue object, it appeared white. Is it possible to use certain light filters to make objects appear colorless or white, or is it a trick of the eye? if so, how does this work?
It is not a trick of the eye in the usual sense. The "color" your eye sees is composed of the wavelengths of light absorbed or reflected by the object. In addition, the amount of light of a certain wavelength depends upon the wavelengths that the light source produces. It is the combination of these two effects (plus the eye's sensitivity to different wavelengths of visible light) that results in the "color" one perceives. Technically, this effect is called "metamerism". You have to keep in mind that the color of an object appears under reflected light by the complementary wavelength that is absorbed by the object. So for example, an object appears "yellow" because the object removes "blue" from the wavelength that is incident upon the object. In any particular case the perceived color becomes a rather complex response to the wavelengths absorbed and/or reflected.
Vince Calder
It is a trick of the eye. Since the light incident on the object is enhanced in the blue, it is reflected fairly evenly throughout its frequency range by the light blue object. Your eye interprets this to be a white object, because that is what white objects do.
Your eye makes this compensation because we see things in light of varying compositions: the red of sunset, the blue of shadows, the yellow of daylight, and the orange of firelight. At sunset, a zebra does not turn red, so our eyes and brain do the best they can to relate what they see to what is probably there. In the case of the pale blue object in bluish light, it does not work. But you really cannot do any better than that; in pale blue light, a white object reflects pale blue light, so the pale blue object looks just like a white one!

Hey yall.I haven't been here to this site in a good while.It seems I just don't have the heart for it like I have in the past.I still love it,but I 've been kinda sad about it lately.You see,my wife and I,went to WDW in 1987,'90,'91,and'92.Then after our girls were born and were a little older,7&4,in 1998,we started going to WDW and we went there for ten years in a row,and one year,we got to go twice.Our last year there was in 2007.That was ten years for us.
But in 2008,I lost my very good paying job,and that put a stop to us getting to go to WDW.It hurts.Especially when you grew up with Disney as I did and now wanting to keep a tradition alive by taking my family there each year.
I used to come into this site quite a lot,pretty much everyday.But it was killing me,seeing what we were having to miss.You see,I made a lot of mistakes in my life when I was younger,and I did not get the education that would have assisted me in getting a really good job with retiring benefits.Poor decisions made.Nobody's fault but mine.
So after all that,it just got to a point that I would rather not even come to this site and enjoy everyone else's fun,since I could not go and have it myself.So this post is not a whiner's post,it's not a "please feel sorry for me" post either.It 's a post,just to let all of you,my Disney brothers and sisters,that one of the family is hurting,and I need your support,until that glorious day comes when my family and I,can begin joining all of you again at our home away from home.We miss it terribly,and we do hope all of you that can still go,will have a great time while there.
But I am going to start coming back into this site again,on an occasional basis,just to see how everyone is doing,maybe post a reply or two and check out some pics.I just ask all of you,to sorta keep me and my family in your prayers in hopes that we can begin going to WDW again pretty soon.People say,yall have been so many times,and I say yeah,that's true and we do have some great memories.But memories do nothing for the present time we live in.The past is past.So thanks to all,and I hope yall all understand where I'm coming from,but I hope none of yall ever have to experience this like we are having to do.

Glee. When I watched Glee, I remember the first time, as a pilot, it came on. I remember watching it and I get like slushies turned their face. You know, I was thinking, that is me. I remember walking in my freshman year and I had these tight pants on and like from day 1, I was made fun of, but most guys don't like me because I think they're just scared of someone being different like the way I dress, like the way I talk or if I'm kind. I think girls like me because I'm real, like I'm sensitive. I'm not afraid to cry. I'm not afraid to watch The Notebook, you know, but like I can also be in bed. You know, I figured, do bench press and do some, you know, workout if they want me to look good and you know work on my abs and stuff. But I don't care if I fit in to society, really. Music like is the place that I fit in. As Kesha once said, we are who we are. Sorry for the Kesha reference.

Jay-Z def should be that high, Who are we kidding here Jay-Z isnt that great sure hes had a few songs in the past that were good, but he hasnt sold more than Eminem, Tupac, or BIG etc. He hasnt even had as much of a cultural impact as those b4 him have had. Like are people seriously buying into this guys ego, titansrule is right Jay just spends most of his time talking about how his the best when hes not, while others stay humble and the thing is hes gotten alot of people to think so too which is sad. And lastly this list really encompasses modern music and doesnt cover all genres. Like wheres Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti or Placido Domingo who are all legends of there feilds and are Artists as well. They might not be popular to alot of people to our present geneteration but they where at one point and still are to many, and have made an impact in music. So in conclusion this list is a piece of shit and i agree with alot of people here that many artist are placed way too high or just plain missing like bon jovi

This is the second in a series of posts focused on how Irish SMEs are delivering real results using Internet marketing. This case study features an interview with Michael O'Brien, Head of Marketing at Celtrino, a client of Enterprise Ireland.
Quality content on its website is helping supply chain management specialist Celtrino develop its brand and differentiate itself from competitors.
A veteran in the supply chain management world in Ireland, Celtrino's recent re-vamp of its website is allowing the company to showcase its expertise through a successful blog, as well as boosting brand recognition as it aims to expand into new markets.
Content strategy begins with research
After joining Celtrino in 2009, marketing director Michael O'Brien's first port of call was to do a full marketing audit. With online becoming more and more important, Michael set about focusing on the Celtrino website and online presence.
"For me, the relevance of the website and being found online was of paramount importance." Michael said his plan started with in-depth research. "I can't underestimate how vital it is to understand the words being used online by your competitors, analysts and customers. Once you understand the ecosystem within which you are operating you can then set down a content strategy both for your own website and how you are going to engage with other online tools, like social media."
Web content critical to search results
Celtrino's new website went live on 27 May 2010 and within six months Celtrino dominated search engine results for all of its relevant key terms. "If I'm on the phone talking to somebody, chances are they are online typing our name into Google. Being found easily online is important for our continued success in the Irish market, but is also vital as we look to break into the UK market," said Michael.
Developing relevant, quality content is key to Celtrino's search engine success, according to Michael: "We need to keep producing quality content or we will lose people and cease to be relevant, and Google will pick up on that too."
Continually refreshing the site's content is also an important factor in Celtrino's content strategy. "Our market is constantly changing and so our web content needs to be regularly updated to reflect that. Of course, regular content updates improve search engine visibility too."
Content directs customers to next steps
While the homepage is the way most people will enter a website, Michael explains that because the Celtrino site is so optimised for search engines, there is a high chance people are coming to internal pages on the site through targeted search results.
Bearing that in mind, Celtrino developed dedicated content pages for each of its solutions, as well as identifying a list of 'business needs' that lead the visitor to relevant product pages. Clear action points were also added to each page, which makes sure that any visitor can see at a glance how they can contact Celtrino or get more information on certain products.
"It was imperative to us that someone coming to the site through a Google search for, say, 'accounts payable solutions' would have a clear call to action on the page they land on. This call to action could be a number of things, such as 'email us', 'call us', or 'download a whitepaper'. Essentially, the key for us is understanding what the visitor is trying to achieve and giving them every opportunity to do so."
Blog content gives Celtrino a voice
Keen to provide regular, fresh content on its site, Celtrino launched a blog in September 2011 and typically push out a new blog post three times a week. Michael says the blog has been a great success to date and has broadened the company's reputation online. "The blog gives us a voice and the opportunity to engage with our audiences that we wouldn't always have with the website. It also helps us to stand out in the market. For any companies considering a blog I would advise them to look around their sector and see what they can take ownership of in terms of content: ask themselves, 'what can I write about that makes us stand out?'"
And when you do write a blog that gets noticed, that's when you can really make an impact, according to Michael. "If your blog post is picked up by another blogger or commentator and shared, then all of a sudden you move up to a different level. Having your content reused around the web ensures that you are seen as a relevant and trusted source of content; the net result is that you will be favoured by Google and other search engines as they focus on delivering relevant and trusted content to their customers."
Celtrino's focus on developing quality content for its website has helped it create a strong online presence, which Michael said it is keen to take advantage of. "In February we plan on doing a major refresh of our website content to reflect changes within the sector and changes to our customers' requirements. And within the next year or so, Celtrino aims to launch an e-commerce function on its site."

Recently I was asked on the streets of New Albany a nice place to find friends by a guy who told me that he was moved recently to here and he want to make new friends. As I told him there are lot of place out there like bars, movie theaters, night clubs or dancing places where you can meet almost any kind of persons but what about if you are the kind of people that barely have time to go out during the week? Then there are other methods that doesn't require you to spend lot of money nor time to meet new friends.
Let see, First all you need to have is a computer and internet connection at home so when you are done on the job you can use the computer to socialize. How can be possible? Easy. On the internet are places oriented to connect people not only from the same country or religion. Sites like xpersonals.com, hornymatches or milf-date.com are good example of it. Also you can use facebook to keep connected with you whole life friends or you can choose an online chat room so it is up to you what method you use to find friends online.
This advice also apply for New Albany since you can choose the place you want to meet people from. So if you are interested in making new friends don't hesitate to try any of the method described above.

My experience with the Sedona was rather limited - just an early morning drive from the airport during which I was more concerned with getting feeling back in my fingers than vehicle dynamics (it was -20 degrees with the wind chill). Still, I was pleasantly surprised when I got in the front seat and saw a modern, nicely turned dash staring back at me. It's a definite step up from what's in our Town & Country, which costs about $10,000 more, and it makes the whole minivan experience a bit less depressing. Just as with the Chrysler van, I was incredibly surprised by the Kia's acceleration. Having spent more time behind the wheel of large SUVs, it's something of a novelty to step on the gas of a big boat and feel it lurch forward with such energy.
I wasn't as happy with the ride. Granted, I was driving on Michigan roads and the tires were probably frozen blocks, but the amount of vibrations transmitted through the steering wheel made me very hesitant to go more than 65 mph.

You know you've screwed up when...
The Washington Teacher has got a whole slew of emails and letters showing how WTU President George Parker is abusing his position and essentially forcing Mr. Saunders to return to the classroom or face dismissal from DCPS. It's obviously a little silly that the district is allowing Mr. Parker to do this, and other bloggers have posted about how this situation really boils down to a competition to see who can be a bigger douche.
Here's my real problem with this: the fact that, everywhere I read about this story, being sent "back to classroom" seems like such a punishment. If it sucks SO HARD to go back to the classroom, doesn't that mean that the union leaders aren't doing a good job? I get that it's unfair / maybe illegal to stop the union leaders from doing their jobs, but I also think that the union leaders have a lot to answer for in terms of their consistent inability to do what's right for teachers. Maybe Saunders, Parker, etc. should be sent back to the classroom for a while.

Sent back to the classroom with two weeks left in school? What is he going to do in two weeks?
- May 1, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Glenn watson - right -- what I think sucks about this story is that no one ever wonders about the impact this will have on the kids he's teaching - remember, the kids, who always come first, before adult interests?
No one, including Harry, has asked what these kids were doing for a teacher before Saunders showed up on the scene and apparently no one is interested in that part of the story. - May 1, 2009 at 8:33 PM
- Toby said...
I am quite interested in that part of the story, though I didn't include it in my postings on another blog. I expressed it to colleagues, who like me, are talking about this Rhee v Saunders v Parker saga. My question is how can you be an effective teacher when you're a full time union official, which is why DCPS has always given WTU officers a leave of absence. And I agree with you, Harry. There is the underlying irony of being upset that the guy is sent back to the classroom. This isn't the former USSR and he got sent to Siberia to some forced labor camp. He is a teacher representing teachers and he got sent back to teach. The way it was done was quite relatiatory. But at the same time I know people run for union offices, become math and literacy coaches or content specialists, anything, to get out of the classroom. Glad you finally posted about this, Harry. I was waiting for your take on it.

Y'all know I meant retaliatory. It's been a long week...
- May 1, 2009 at 9:50 PM
People do a lot of things to get out of the classroom - become a principal, start a teacher recruiting firm, go into private industry, etc., just the way they leave other jobs - for higher pay, for greater job satisfaction, because they think they'd be better at something else, etc. Leaving teaching, or any job, needn't be seen as giving up or being a loser or not caring enough about children.
Know anyone at Eastern? It shouldn't be too hard to find out what Saunders' new assignment is over there and how it helps children - our first priority. - May 1, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Toby - the Saunders saga aside, I doubt you are in favor of forcing people in the classroom who don't want to be there.
That would be punishment - to the teacher and to the children. - May 1, 2009 at 10:28 PM
- Toby said...
Something I don't like at all was the tone of the directive Nathan received saying he was to report to Eastern HS or face termination. Why did it have to sound so harsh? Why not you have hereby been assigned to Eastern as your leave of absence status has lapsed? ANd yes, I know people do all kinds of things to get out of the classroom.
- May 1, 2009 at 10:32 PM
It's not a crime to leave the classroom, nor is it a punishment to return to one.
I left the classroom because I saw my motivation and creativity get renewed when I worked with student teachers, which I had to admit had declined during the years I was teaching children. So when the opportunity presented itself to move into a different facet of education, I jumped on it and became a PD.
This isn't an "us vs. them" argument, and no one should claim the higher moral ground for staying in the classroom. Aren't we all on the same team?? - May 2, 2009 at 4:26 PM
- lodesterre said...
Well put, Kat. The question here should not be clouded by an argument about whether or not it is a punishment to go back into the classroom. I don't think that is how Saunders sees it and we certainly shouldn't see it this way. The question here is whether the way in which this situation has been handled has been above board and correct. I think that, so far at least, many of the responses here and elsewhere have answered that question.
Is this situation a paradigm for how all situations involving outspoken teachers and employees of DCPS are going to be handled? - May 2, 2009 at 5:34 PM
Oh, there's something fishy going on, Lode, with Henderson (really, Rhee) and Parker working towards the same goal...when for months they haven't been able to agree on diddlysquat. I definitely smell collusion in the air. But you know what they say happens when you lie down with dogs...

Harry, upon further reflection, I think your entire premise is off. It's not going back to the classroom that is the punishment, it's being forced out of his job on a pretext. He could have been threatened to report to the White house or be fired and it would be the same thing, don't you see?
The kids are being used as pawns and you fell for it.
I'd like to see a Rhee supporter send her an email asking how sending Saunders back to the classroom in May helps the children?
I hear she's very good about getting back to people. - May 3, 2009 at 2:36 PM

This type of reasoning suggests that if it is okay to retaliate against Saunders, a union official than one could reasonably argue that it is okay to retaliate against teachers as well. Retaliation is never okay.
As a union body we elected a slate of candidates of which Saunders is a part. There are a lot of facts that you just don't have unfortunately. I encourage all to become more informed about what is happening not only in terms of DC but from a broader perspective. Also read Ed notes on line (NY teacher blogger @ http://ednotesonline.blogspot.com )
I maintain that Deputy Chancellor Henderson does not have the legal authority to force Saunders to return to the classroom or be terminated. I believe that this action represents an abuse of power which is not only illegal but unethical and also may constitute an unfair labor practice. Certainly students interests were not a consideration by Henderson when she made the decision to force Saunders to return to the classroom or be terminated, albeit briefly until this issue gets resolved. It seems to me that Henderson allowed her emotions to interfere with her sense of reasoning in this matter. Please stay tuned for additional information.
Many parents have weighed in on this issue and one parent advocate, Iris Toyer wrote a poignant entry in 'The Mail' which is a weekly on-line publication. Check out Iris' entry posted on my blog in the comments section in response to DC Teachers Deserve A Better Union President. - May 4, 2009 at 4:04 PM

Comment posted from The Washington Teacher's blog:
Written by: Iris J. Toyer
A recent flury of E-mails alerted many of us that Nathan Saunders, Vice President of the Washington Teachers Union, had been ordered back to the classroom or face termination. The dispute seems to stem from the submission or lack thereof of a request for a continued leave of absence while serving as a paid elected union official. I am neither a union member nor a teacher. I believe that how our government treats duly elected representatives of our workers sheds a bright light on how employees will be treated. How this particular dispute will be resolved is anyone's guess.
What readers should know is that the Rhee administration has ordered the WTU Vice President back to the classroom. He is paid handsomely by the WTU to represent the membership. There seemed to be questions as to whether or not WTU officials are in fact employees of DCPS. In speaking with Mr. Saunders, I learned that paid members of the WTU do not come off of DCPS' payroll. They continue to earn leave and years toward their service, and when their term is over they return to the classroom. If I remember correctly, they continue to collect their DCPS salary and WTU pays them the difference between what DCPS pays them and the higher WTU salary, and also reimburses DCPS (at least that is supposed to happen). It would be so much cleaner if WTU paid the entire salary in the beginning. Nathan and one other WTU official did not collect their salaries from DCPS. His point is you cannot serve two masters.
Apparently the paperwork that is now being discussed by Kaya Henderson, Deputy Chancellor, is a new process. Formerly union employees used the same request for a leave of absence that an employee who is going on a sabbatical or on extended travel, etc., would use. I am not sure why Nathan was not informed of the change or who should have informed him. The fact remains that he is a duly elected member of the WTU executive team and will continue to be so. This action interferes with that relationship, which might be the intended purpose. I think union members ought to ask themselves: if they do it to Saunders in the morning, what's to stop them from doing it to me in the evening? - May 4, 2009 at 4:08 PM

Washington Teacher-
I totally agree with everything you wrote. Obviously, Mr. Saunders should not have to deal with this crap. My only point was that everywhere I read about this issue, it was presented as if being sent "back to the classroom" is some sort of punishment. It's the tone with which people write about it (including Ms. Henderson in her letter) that bothers me -- like the classroom is where you go when you've done something wrong. - May 4, 2009 at 7:28 PM
Just in from WaPo's DC Wire: Rhee has restored Nathan Saunders back to fulltime WTU work and out of the classroom.

10 things to do for $10 this weekend, December 23-25, 2011
All the cheesy commercials on television might make you think that everyone is at home baking cookies with their perfect families, but that's not the case! No, no, no. There is plenty to do outside of your home, all for less than $10. In fact, here are ten such events. Whether you have an idyllic family or even care that a magic baby was born more two thousand years ago, we've got you covered, right here. For our complete calendar, visit westword.com/calendar.
Lipgloss" The Winter Break Party at La Rumba (Friday, $5)
Every Friday, Lipgloss offers a place to dance 'til early in the morning, and this week DJ boyhollow and co. make it even more dance-worthy by adding the talents of Chicago's Black Knights on the decks. Dance off all that fruit cake you've been eating for the last couple of weeks.
Holiday Happy Hour at Jazz @ Jack's (Friday, free)
Sneak away from high-pressure holiday festivities and visit this refreshingly low-key celebration. Jazz @ Jack's will offer holiday drink specials while you mellow out to the music of the Greg Tannenbaum Harris Vibe Quintet featuring Venus Cruz as you watch stressed out shoppers rush through the Denver Pavilions.
I Have A Dream...Dreamers' Art Exhibit at NEXT Gallery (Friday, free)
Kid art rules. And the artists at NEXT Gallery think so, too. They'll be displaying a selection of children's art tonight that was part of an I Have a Dream Project. Older artists sent a goodie bag of supplies to fourth graders, and show is the art they created from those supplies. Get inspired.
HoliDaze in Vail (Friday-Sunday, free)Scott McClarrinon
If you're willing to make the trek out to Vail, the town has plenty to offer in family-friendly holiday activities this weekend. From caroling to Santa sightings to giant polar bear snow sculptures, there will be plenty of holiday fun to be had.
Another Happy Day at the Denver FilmCenter/Colfax (Friday-Sunday, $9.75)
As anyone without regular holiday plans knows, the place of business that stays open during every festivity is the movie theater. And what film is more fitting for a holiday weekend than one fraught with family tension? This Sundance Film Festival Screenwriting Award Winner follows a woman as she attends the marriage of her estranged son and deals with her crazy relatives. It may either hit too close to home and act as catharsis for your family drama, or just make you glad you don't belong to this family. But either way, it's should be a satisfying experience.

noun, often attributive \ˈwu̇l\: the soft, thick hair of sheep and some other animals
: cloth or clothing made of wool
: long, thick thread made of wool and used for knitting
Full Definition of WOOL
Examples of WOOL
- She doesn't like wool because it can be itchy.
- <the wool from cashmere goats is considered by many to be the finest available>
Origin of WOOL
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Animal fibre that is the protective covering, or fleece, of sheep or such other hairy mammals as goats and camels. Wool is readied by washing (lanolin is the by-product), carding, sometimes combing, then spinning. Coarser than such textile fibres as cotton, linen, silk, and rayon, wool is resilient after limited stretching or compression, so fabrics and garments made from wool tend to retain shape, drape well, and resist wrinkling. Wool is warm and lightweight and takes dyes well. Woolen yarns, usually made from shorter fibres, are thick and full and are used for such items as tweed fabrics and blankets. Worsteds usually are made from longer fibres.

I bought a 1978 Fleetwood about 12' X 76'. I am thinking about having a port/roof with post built over the entire MH with a two car port extension. It is not leaking; but, when I felt the tar covered roof it felt flimsy. It is located around Austin, Texas. Would like to know an approx. cost. Metal roof verses plywood and composition roof. Thanks, Dan |

That would probably depend upon the price of wood and tin in your area. Most of the people in FL put a roofover on their mobiles and this consists of actually building a roof higher than the mobile and closing it in in the front and sides. They also cover a rear patio and leave the attic area open for storage and such. Figure on trusses every 2 or 4 foot. You will want an overhang by at least six inches on all sides. And the height of the roof peak is up to you but that extra space allows for cooling and air flow. What you save in heating and air conditioning bills will pretty much pay for the roof. Most people that are DIY'ers find it easier just to do a tin roof. Trusses are normally formed by angled cuts of 2 x 4 with a triangular piece of plywood nailed at the peak for stability. Draw out the plans and measure them and then count how many 2x4's you are going to need to accomplish that. |

The job of the Ambassadors is to nominate to the Selection Committee, those who have made significant contributions to the martial arts in their regions of Canada.
The nominees must have made major contributions to the martial arts in Canada and be of outstanding moral character that present themselves as role models for the future generations of martial artists in Canada. Nominations can come from many areas of the arts, competitor, instructors, historical, business, organizers to name but a few.
We would expect that this list of Ambassadors will grow over the years so that we do not miss anyone who should be inducted.
The CBBHoF will induct between 5 and 10 individuals each year and they will not be announced until January the 1st of each year. The Selection Committee headed by the Chairman and Technical Chairmen will make the final decisions on who is inducted each year.
Ambassadors of The Canadian Black Belt Hall of Fame:
Fern Cleroux Bruce Winstanley Cezar Borkowski Tom Fleming Conroy Copeland Kin Sze Rudy Timmerman Don Benoit Andre Raymond
The maximum number each year that can be inducted is 8 individuals.
Award Criteria for The Masami Tsuruoka Life Time Achievement Award This one person must be a black belt in martial arts. The recipient of this award must have spent a lifetime dedicated to the development of martial arts and they must also have a good, strong moral background that makes them a leader of martial artists in Canada.
They must also be a Canadian citizen and have a valid up to date Canadian passport.
Award Criteria for The Pierre Elliot Trudeau Humanitarian Award This award is presented to an individual who is at least a black belt level and has given back to society in an exceptional way outside of the martial arts world. This as an example can be thru politics, religion, charity, medicine or any other endeavor that has made a major difference in society or to an individual.
Selection Process All awards go thru a three stage process of selection.
The first level is where names are submitted to the board of directors either by one of the Board of Directors, an inductee, an ambassador or an outside individual thru an ambassador.
The second level is where the names are all listed and sent out to the ambassadors who send back their selections from the list sent to them with comments if they have any. Then the Board of Directors reviews all comments and selections compiles their suggestions.
The third and final level is where the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the technical committees both forms and fighting make the final decisions on who the awards will be presented to.
The Names Announced
These names are always announced at the beginning of the year on the official CBBHoF Web site and then the induction ceremony is held each year in the month of May.
The location is rotated from one city to another at the discretion of the three Chairman mentioned above.
Host of Each Event
There will be a host each year who is a prominent martial artist in the host city that is selected by the three Chairman.
Final Decision
The decision of the three Chairmen is final in all cases and in all selections on a majority rules decision.

Universal's Islands of Adventure®
Orlando, FL, 32819, United States
The city's most thrill-filled coaster-and-flume park is also one of the most spectacularly designed; rides are all located in lavish, themed "islands," most based on movies or TV shows. The Jurassic Park River Adventure, for example—a hairy river-raft ride that includes, among other scares, a terrifying T. rex attack—is set in Jurassic Park, a habitat for enormous, animatronic dinosaurs. Marvel Superhero Island is where visitors can experience the Amazing Adventures of Spider Man, a dizzying 3-D-glasses-enhanced ride that simulates swinging among high city towers. All of this may be overshadowed, though, by the 2010 opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a 20-acre(ish) "land" complete with Hogwarts castle and Forbidden Forest.
Tip: Avoid carrying bags if you can; they're not allowed on the coasters (you'll need to rent a locker), and on the flumes they'll only get soaked.

World Health Day - 7 April
April 7 of each year marks the celebration of World Health Day. From its inception at the First Health Assembly in 1948 and since taking effect in 1950, the celebration has aimed to create awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the World Health Organization.
Over the past 50 years this has brought to light important health issues such as mental health, maternal and child care, and climate change. The celebration is marked by activities which extend beyond the day itself and serves as an opportunity to focus worldwide attention on these important aspects of global health.
World Health Day 2014
Small bite, big threat: Protect yourself from vector-borne diseases
Mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, freshwater snails. Malaria, dengue, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis. Just a few of the many vectors and the diseases they spread globally, including throughout the Western Pacific Region. "Small bite, big threat" is the theme of this year's World Health Day — celebrated on 7 April to mark the anniversary of WHO's founding in 1948. Each year a theme is selected that highlights a priority area of public health concern in the world.
World Health Day 2013
Stay healthy: Check your blood pressure
The theme of the World Health Day for 2013 is high blood pressure. Most people with high blood pressure actually have no symptoms at all and may not even know they have it. High blood pressure is a silent killer, responsible for heart diseases, stroke, kidney failure and blindness. Healthy behaviours and prompt management can prevent and control high blood pressure. The overall goal of this World Health Day campaign is to reduce heart attacks and strokes.
World Health Day 2012
Ageing and health: Good health adds life to years
The topic of World Health Day in 2012 is Ageing and health with the theme "Good health adds life to years". The focus is how good health throughout life can help older men and women lead full and productive lives and be a resource for their families and communities. Ageing concerns each and every one of us – whether young or old, male or female, rich or poor – no matter where we live.
World Health Day 2011
Antimicrobial resistance: no action today, no cure tomorrow
Is the world in danger of heading back to the days before antibiotics were developed? That is the question being asked as WHO prepares to mark World Health Day, on 7 April, with a warning about the growing threat from antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Previous World Health Days
Overview of the past World Health Days
Each year a different theme is selected that highlights a priority area of concern for WHO.

Dull gold nail polish with many tiny glitter specks. It's great if you want gold fingers that aren't too loud, but nice, subtle, and classy. The application is good. This looks good as a top coat over other nail polish as well as with other glitter nails polishes ( sliver and green). I usually grab this nail polish more than my other gold ones.

I'm halfway through a bottle of ChG Tinsel, and I thought it would be fun to have the same thing in gold. If only it WERE gold! People, this is the color of urine. Oh, it's awful. I've given it a fair chance, tried just one layer of it, tried three, tried it over various things. The results are always sparkly pee. Cheapens everything it touches.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Normal Hair: Brunette Eyes: Green
Very pretty gold. Opaque in the bottle and a slightly dull gold, on nails it is toward the yellow spectrum (not a beige gold), you'll see a lot of glitter (not the chunky kind like Ruby Pumps but a finer, more sparkly glitter). I found that I liked this color far more on nails than in the bottle. On nails it has a starry lightness. The first coat goes on like a super sparkly gold topcoat. The second coat gives a delicate opacity but not super opaque like its long lost cousin, China Glaze Cowardly Lyin. You will still see the whites of your nails showing through after two coats.
I do not believe this polish is the gold version of Ruby Pumps. It's far too delicate. (I don't subscribe to the view that Emerald Sparkle is the green Ruby Pumps either, heh heh.)
The application was pretty good. A little thick and pliable and not as runny as I thought it would be. Little if any cleanup was needed.
The best part of this color was getting a compliment from DH. I held my nails up in the sun to look at the color the day after I did my manicure and he saw this and said, "Your nails look nice." He meant the color not the nail shape.

zip wallet
by CLARE V.
While working in French television, Clare Vivier began making bags as a result of her busy travel schedule. She discovered a gap in the market for laptop cases that were functional yet stylish, inspiring her to create her own bag. The concept quickly parlayed into her now eponymous line of handbags and clutches that are as stylish as they are utilitarian. She attributes her sense of chic simplicity to her strong connection with France. Clare's design principle is timeless but her aesthetic is bold, always taking into consideration the elegant tension between modern detail and classic shapes.

Commissioner Adelstein sworn in
Jonathan Adelstein (pronounced "ADD-dull-steen"), a Democrat, joins Republican Commissioners Kathleen Abernathy, Kevin Martin, Chairman Michael Powell and Democrat Michael Copps on the FCC. Although the White House nominated Adelstein for the position in November 2001, he sat in the wings for a year waiting for Congress to confirm his nomination, which occurred in November 2002. The 40-year-old former senior legislative aide and history professor was sworn in on Dec. 3, 2002. He will complete the term of departed Commissioner Gloria Tristani, which expires June 30 of this year. It is assumed that he will then be reappointed for a full term.
Adelstein made his debut speech as a Commissioner at the Future of Music Coalition Policy Summit 2003 in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6. He accompanied R&B legend Lester Chambers on the harmonica and, as a musician and a Commissioner, spoke of his soft-spot for community-oriented broadcasters, his cautious approach toward media ownership and his fear of the impact over-consolidation could have on diversity and localism. He also said in a statement on the date of his swearing-in that his goals include enhancing competition and efficiently managing the public spectrum. Additionally, he has emphasized the need for broadcasters to take advantage of technological advances such as broadband, wi-fi, satellite radio and digital cable to take their programming to more people and allow the marketplace of ideas to flourish.
For the seven years immediately preceding his Commission swearing-in, Adelstein was senior legislative aide to Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD), who was majority leader of the Senate for much of that time. Unfortunately, since Daschle has not focused his attention on broadcast issues, we do not know where his former aide may stand on broadcast matters. It is noteworthy, though, that Adelstein had the strong support of the National Association of Broadcasters, whose president said in a published statement that Adelstein has "a firm grasp of broadcasting and telecommunications issues and a "commitment to public service."
EEO rules in place
The FCC's new EEO rules will become effective March 10, 2003. The new rules require the filing of a number of reports and the routine maintenance of a considerable number of records concerning recruitment efforts. In particular, a broadcast station must file a Broadcast Equal Employment Opportunity Program Report (FCC Form 396) with its renewal application. And annually on the anniversary date of its renewal application deadline, the station must place in its public file — and on its website, if it has one — an EEO public file report.
Spring thaw for MX applications?
There appears to be a proposal before the Commissioners to resolve the issue that has brought processing of mutually exclusive applications between commercial and noncommercial applicants to a screeching halt. No sooner had the FCC started to implement its auction processes for broadcast permits than the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington D.C. slammed the door on those processes, as long as they contemplated that noncommercial applicants might have to participate in auctions. The court found that the FCC could not force noncommercial applicants to participate in auctions, even when the facilities up for bidding are commercial licenses. The Media Bureau staff has presented to the full Commission a draft, which, if adopted, could end the freeze and start applications moving through the process again.
On a different topic, the Commission has launched a simplified version of its Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS). The new ECFS Express is supposedly easy to use, requiring minimal input from consumers. It's participation made easy. The Commission hopes the new system will make the rulemaking process accessible to anyone with a computer.
This initiative is a part of the Commission's on-going efforts to make its processes available to the public.
Martin is an attorney with Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth, PLC., Arlington, VA. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
April 1 is the deadline for biennial ownership reports for stations in Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas.
Renewal applications are due June 1 for radio stations in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. The Commission plans to make form instructions available on its website before the deadline.

How To Disarm Even the Pickiest of Teen Eaters
We all hope and pray that picky eating is just a phase that our children will pass through on their way to greener pastures. There are indeed many cases where that is true and a picky eater wakes up one day with a love for all the wealth of food they had previously scorned. Unfortunately it is also true that some children sail right into adolescence fighting pitched battles over what they will and will not eat. This poses a unique difficulty for parents.
They feel a need to provide their child with healthy food options, but at the same time, they have no tricks left in their bag and feeding their child what he or she wants is so much easier than fighting all the time. If your family faces these types of mealtime difficulties, then it is time to sit down with your teen and talk.
You're Not Waving a White Flag - You're Changing the Conversation
Don't just surrender your position and allow your child to pursue an unhealthy diet. That won't do anyone any favors. At the same time, you cannot afford to make this discussion into a power struggle. Its possible to outlast an upset child, but a teen has a will and the energy to match your own. Furthermore, they are just discovering their independence. If you appear to be trying to stifle it, you'll lose.
Instead, you are going to have to meet your child half way and treat him or her like the rational adult that they are becoming. Begin by allowing your child to speak about the food issues. Really listen to what he or she is saying so that you can get down to the underlying issues that have caused this struggle. Once you have heard your child and let them know that, it will be time to express your problem.
Insist on Certain Concessions
Make sure that you insist on certain concessions even as you are preparing to negotiate. You are the parent and your concern for your child's health should trump frivolous grievances. Suggest that you will not force your child to eat food they find distasteful if they will commit to a balanced and nutritional diet made up of their favored foods. Also ask that the child continue to try new foods, suggest that they take at least one bite of everything served before they reject it.
These types of options allow you to serve both masters by addressing your teen's right to choose their food and still insisting on privileging their health. If your child is truly set against eating a balanced diet, consider suspending the conversation to take them to a doctor or nutritionist for help. If the two of you cannot communicate effectively about the issue, then consider asking a counselor for help navigating it. Do not engage in power games or attempt to lie about food to your teen as that will only erode the trust that you have worked to establish.

I have a nice PA lawn, basically Kentucky blue & fescue (my preference), and some others probably. Last year I noticed this grass/weed growing more in some areas. It's kind of bushy on top of a stem. When it's green it looks soft and fuzzy for lack of a better description. When dormant/winter it's brown and looks like thatch. I'm sure someone knows what it is, hopefully the pics are OK. Thanks in advance for any help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Can anyone help or suggest where I may be able to get some help identifying this? Thanks. |
I'm surprise that no one has posted any ideas as to what this is, or are my photos that bad? |
I'm no expert but it looks like it could either be Nimblewill or Quackgrass. Check this link to view the various weeds. http://www.turf.uiuc.edu/weed_web/ |
I've had the same stuff popping up in my lawn in a few areas but after a few mows it seems to have gone away. The lawn is up to 4in thick now so not sure if it crowded that weed out or I just can't see it anymore! |

It is very difficult to identify a dried out and brown plant than it is to identify a green and live one. Post new photos when the weed greens up. |

Finland's economy will expand at a slower rate than previously forecast, according to OP-Pohjola Group, a Finnish banking and insurance co-operative.
Gross domestic product will grow 0.8 percent this year and 1.7 percent in 2014 after an average 0.2 percent expansion in 2012, the Helsinki-based group said in a report today. It had forecast growth of 1.4 percent for 2013 on Aug. 27.
Exports are recovering "slightly" and domestic spending is crimped by weak expectations, tax increases and stagnating real income, OP-Pohjola said. Finland's economy is in recession after shrinking on two consecutive quarters.

Medical Esthetics
The Real Answers Behind Esthetics in a Medical Setting
By: Terri A. Wojak
Posted: July 31, 2014, from the August 2014 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Working in a medical setting is the goal for many skin care professionals today. Practicing esthetics with a physician is a great career option and definitely has its advantages, including continued learning; clinically proven treatments and products; the ability to help all clients through direct referral; and opportunities for client interaction. Although having a career in the medical field may seem glamorous, there are several details estheticians may not be taking into consideration. Following, four common misconceptions about working in the medical field as an esthetician will be disputed.
Myth No. 1: "I can perform medical services as an esthetician while working with a physician."
Truth: An esthetic license offers the same scope of practice, regardless of the place of employment.
Estheticians are meant to cosmetically enhance the skin, and medical professionals are meant to treat conditions or abnormalities. Estheticians are licensed to perform skin care to whatever extent their state license allows—for most states, this includes beautifying the outermost layer of skin. The misconception that estheticians are able to perform medical treatments often comes from the physician's ability to delegate procedures to nonmedical professionals. Medical delegation differs by state—just like esthetic regulations do—and some states are more strict than others. Treatments can only be delegated to trained professionals following a medical examination by the physician.
The confusing part is that estheticians are often the first team members a physician will delegate to, because they are knowledgeable about the physiology of the skin and how to care for it. However, in Illinois and several other states, estheticians cannot legally perform laser procedures, or any other medical procedures, while working under their esthetic license. Therefore, if a physician were to delegate a procedure outside of an esthetician's scope of practice, she would technically no longer be working as an esthetician, but rather as an assistant to the physician. These regulations should not be taken lightly—failing to follow them can result in a loss of licensure.
Myth No. 2: "I do not need additional training to work in a medical setting; the office team will provide on-the-job training."
Truth: This may occur in some cases, but most employers now want experience or advanced training on skin care and cosmetic medicine.
Working in a medical setting is vastly different from working in a spa. Even if the esthetician is hired to provide skin care services and recommend products to enhance and maintain results of medical procedures, support team members—including estheticians—will likely be involved in some aspect of client care. An esthetician may be asked to speak to clients about skin care as they are waiting for their procedure, or lend a helping hand in a clinic room.
It is important that those looking for work in a medical office are aware of some of the unpleasant things they may witness. Team members will likely see blood, skin infections, wounds and even surgical procedures. Although medical procedures are often viewed in videos and on the television, it is much different experiencing them first-hand. In fact, some students pass out while observing clinic procedures during their training programs.

The MJ45 gas fryers are unsurpassed in their versatility, controlled performance and low maintenance needs. Whether it is a single fryer or a fryer with a built-in filtration system, the MJ45 fryers offer options that accommodate a wide range of frying needs -- everything from French fries, pre-breaded products to specialty foods.
The Master Jet burner system distributes heat evenly around the frypot, generating a large heat-transfer area for efficient exchange and quick recovery. They have earned a legendary reputation for durability and reliability. The MJ burners require no burner cleaning or air shutter adjustment. The reliable centerline fast-action temperature probe assures accurate temperatures for efficient heat-up, cooking and recovery.
The large cold zone and forward sloping bottom help collect and remove sediment from the frypot to safeguard oil quality and support routine frypot cleaning. The standard front flush feature deflects oil out from the back of the frypot, moving sediment to the front drain valve for easy and thorough removal.
Built-in filtration is available with up to six fryers batteried together into a single system, or with single MJ45G or E model fryers and a spreader cabinet. The spreader can include an optional heat lamp and holding station. The holding station can use either cafeteria-style or scoop-type pan. The heat lamp and pans are integrated into the cabinet, making a complete warming station. *Liter conversions are for solid shortening @ 70°F
MJ45 Gas Fryer models are specifically designed for high-volume frying and controlled performance.

text: I think there's a typo in this USA TODAY article I'm reading about whether NHL players will participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics, in Korea. Here's the Gary Bettman quote where I think there's an error, see if you catch it too: "We have made it very clear that the decision that has to be made is a balancing act," Bettman said. "It's not all good. It's not all bad. It has to be balance." See the typo? I thought you would. Here's, obviously, how it should read. "OOO MMM GGGGGGGG!," Bettman said. "Are you kidding me? Of course we will be there. The players love it, the fans love it, the hockey is 70 times better than our best regular-season games, um, yeah, we're counting down the days." Hate to be a grammar cop. Bettman, in fairness, is the commissioner of the National Hockey League, not curator of Game with Puck on Frozen Pond. His direct interest is his league, not his sport. But of course they go together, and any result but full NHL participation in PyeongChang, South Korea, four years from now would be a travesty. So the games would be played at inconvenient (for us) times. So the travel is difficult. So some players will get hurt. So what. The Olympics are just about the only time when hockey gets non-hockey fans talking except when it's about a cheap shot. The Stanley Cup Finals don't even register outside the sport anymore, except for the hard-to-hear "Oh, hockey's over?". The other Winter Games events have their moments, but there are far fewer sports here than in the Summer Games, leaving room for hockey to take the spotlight. It did so in 2010, and it already has done so this year. NHL, don't let us down. Hockey's -- sorry, the NHL's -- greed and disconnect with fans are both frustrating and familiar. Higher-than-ever prices, offensively challenged games, canceled seasons, erratic-if-not-hilariously bad attempts at discipline, and so on. The NHL is the only league where you can rank lockouts. Some owners, probably, see the Olympic break as an annoying obstacle, a 16-day hiatus that puts a crimp in the schedule and team revenues. In Olympic years NHL seasons have to be compacted even more than they are, and the logical result is relatively fewer games with the players at top form. Many games are a drag. It is not my assertion that NHL games should be of Olympic quality. But, these high-quality games do exist as long as the NHL allows them to, and as far as fans go with the Olympics there is no going back. Imagine in 2018 a U.S. team of college players. Really? The NHL, and Bettman, should see it now as their duty to participate. Figure out the terms later, but when Bettman gets the question now of whether or not we'll see the NHL at the Olympics in 2018 he should answer it the way I laid out before, or, perhaps better, by saying this: "Yes."
