Dore Programme
The Dore programme or Dore program offers an individualized program which aims to improve skills such as reading and writing, attention and focus, social skills and sports performance through twice daily, targeted physical exercises.[1] Dore has been used with individuals with dyslexia, ADHD, developmental coordination disorder, Asperger's, and other learning difficulties which has been developed with researchers in Britain and elsewhere. It consists of a series of exercises which are designed to improve the functioning of the cerebellum, based on Dore's belief that the cerebellum facilitates skill development and therefore plays an essential role in the learning process.[2]
No conclusive study has been performed on the Dore Program which has met the criteria for a randomised controlled trial.[3][4] In May 2008 the predecessor to Dore, a company known as DDAT (Dyslexia Dyspraxia Attention Treatment), went into liquidation in the UK.[5] Currently, the Dore programme operates in 6 countries, working in partnership with schools, agencies, and other organizations.[6][7]
Dore, previously known as DDAT (Dyslexia Dyspraxia Attention Treatment), was initiated by businessman Wynford Dore for his daughter Susie who was diagnosed as severely dyslexic and became depressed and suicidal. After being told that there was no cure for dyslexia, Wynford began working with a team of researchers to investigate Harold Levinson's claim that the cerebellum is linked to the types of symptoms Susie was experiencing. Roy Rutherford, a friend of Wynford's, suggested that an underdeveloped cerebellum may be the cause of Susie's symptoms. The Dore programme was subsequently developed for Susie and, after she began to read and write, then made available to others.[8][9]
According to Dore, conditions such as dyslexia, developmental coordination disorder, ADD, Autism, Asperger syndrome and ADHD are linked to cerebellar function.[10] Dore Program Practitioners believe that it is possible to treat difficulties in areas such as reading, attention, coordination, and social skills by developing these neural pathways.[11]
The Dore method[edit]
The theory behind the Dore method is that skills such as reading and writing are learned through practice and become automatic because the cerebellum allows the learning process to occur at the maximum rate of efficiency. The Dore method demonstrates that, as skills become more automatic, the working memory required to perform a task decreases. The Dore Programme aims to stimulate the development of the cerebellum and hence to strengthen the communications between the cerebrum and cerebellum.[citation needed][12]
The programme consists of a series of complex sensory and motor activities, which are carried out twice daily, typically for around twelve months. The programme is designed for each individual based on interpretation of the results of assessments of cerebellar function and progress in each exercise level. These assessments are designed to measure balance (posturography) and eye tracking (electronystagmography), among other areas. Changes are charted by repeating these assessments regularly throughout the program.[citation needed]. The results are interpreted by Dore Program Specialists, who discuss the changes, correlating them with changes observed by teachers, family members, and clients, themselves.[13]
Dore Programme effectiveness[edit]
Students, families, teachers, administrators,[14] and professionals report progress in the individuals—many of whom carry no diagnosis of any kind—who participate in the Dore Programme, ranging from improved grades, test scores, behavior, and confidence.[15]
The effectiveness of the Dore Programme is disputed. The first study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Dore programme was published in Dyslexia in 2003, which reported improvements in writing, reading, and comprehension of 35 school-aged students at Balsall Common School in Warwickshire, UK on standardised testing.[16] Most of the study participants did not have any diagnosed learning difficulties: six had dyslexia, two had developmental coordination disorder and one had ADHD. Some of the remainder were identified as 'at risk' on the basis of the Dyslexia Screening Test, but the majority of children did not have severe difficulties. A follow-up to this study was published in Dyslexia in 2006, and, upon reevaluating the students, the authors report significant improvements in writing, reading, and comprehension, as well as ADHD attention skills.[3] However, neither study met stringent criteria for a randomised controlled trial and results looked much less impressive when the intervention group was compared with controls, who also improved.
Studies on efficacy with the target clinical groups have yet to be replicated in a peer-reviewed medical journal, and where control data are available, the evidence of gains in literacy associated with the Dore programme needs to be further validated.[4][16]
The Dore programme stipulates that clients must be 7 years of age or older. Dore suggests this because clients 6 and younger are more difficult to accurately assess. Adults of all ages are believed to be suitable for Dore.[17][18]
A brief screening questionnaire is completed to determine suitability for the Dore Programme. Potential clients discuss their difficulties with a Dore representative who determines if the client is suitable for the programme.[19]
Dore in schools[edit]
More than forty schools have begun to use the Dore Programme, according to the Dore USA website.[20][21][22] From YouTube sources, at least two schools report success with using the Dore Program as an intervention for students with learning and attention difficulties, and for those seeking improvements in academic and athletic arenas.[23] Independent and public schools in the United States have reported positive feedback from their experiences, as administrators, teachers, and families observe the changes in their students. School personnel facilitate the individualized programs at school on school days while families oversee the sessions at home on weekends and holidays.[24] These videos seem to have been placed on YouTube by the Dore Program.
Further research[edit]
Of the treatment[edit]
The Dore Programme treatment has been studied and continues to be the subject of further research.[25][26] The study by Reynolds et al.[16] has been challenged. For example, a control group was included only for a subset of assessments, and not for follow up; little information was provided on the test scores or treatment status of children in the experimental group who were not followed up.[27][28][29] The two authors of the research defended it as showing significant and maintained gains in coordination after treatment.[30] A number of papers published in the British Dyslexia Association's journal have found the apparently independent academic research Dore initially offered in support of the treatment to be the subject of some debate. According to an article published in the Times Educational Supplement in 2004, many of Britain's foremost academics maintain that the results need to be replicated.[31]
Into early claims[edit]
The UK's Independent Television Commission and Ofcom upheld complaints made about a 2002 news item on British television in which Sir Trevor McDonald hailed DDAT as a "breakthrough in the treatment of dyslexia." It repeated this decision about a later item on Richard & Judy, and found a television commercial made by DDAT to be in breach of Advertising Standards Code Rules for creating a false impression of the medical evidence, and implying that professional medical advice and support would be part of the treatment. In all these cases, however, they stated that: "the ITC does not express, nor does it seek to express, any view whatsoever on DDAT as an organisation or the relative efficacy of its treatment for dyslexia, neither of which was the subject of this finding."[32] The complaints were mainly about claims that this was new and pioneering research when many elements date back to at least 30 years before the DDAT was founded.[33]
Many scientists strongly disagree with Dore's research[edit]
After the British journal Dyslexia published one paper about the Dore programme in 2003,[16] the paper was followed by ten critical commentaries[34] and one commentator resigned from Dyslexia's editorial board. In 2006, five members of the board of directors resigned in protest of the publication of a follow-up article highly favorable of Dore, citing concerns about the methodology used in the study and financial conflicts of interest due to Dore's involvement in funding the research.[35][36] The editor of Dyslexia defended the decision to publish,[37] and the authors of the original Dore research paper responded vigorously to these criticisms and continued to support their findings and conclusions.[38]
Advertising Standards Authority rules against Dore[edit]
In December 2009, the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ordered Dore to take down advertisements it posted via Google links that claimed the program offered help for dyslexia, Asperger syndrome, and ADHD developmental coordination disorder. Dore attempted to defend the ads by citing two studies supporting its claims, but the ASA ruled that the advertisements' claims were unsupported by the studies and were misleading.[39]
Financial history[edit]
In May 2008 the DDAT company went into liquidation in the UK.[5] On 23 January 2009, Dynevor Ltd acquired the intellectual property rights and the assets of the Dore programme from Wynford Dore and CDT Ltd.[40][41]

Clara Barton American Red Cross
Clarissa Harlowe "Clara" Barton
(December 25, 1821 April 12, 1912) was a pioneer American teacher,
nurse, and humanitarian.
She is best remembered for organizing the American Red Cross. Clarissa Harlowe Barton was born on Christmas Day, 1821, in Oxford, Massachusetts, to Stephen and Sarah Barton. She was the youngest of five children. Clara's father was a farmer and horse breeder, while her mother Sarah managed the household. The two later helped found the first Universalist Church in Oxford. As she continued to develop an interest in nursing, Clara may have drawn inspiration from stories of her great-aunt, Martha Ballard, who served the town of Hallowell (later Augusta), Maine, as a midwife for over three decades. Clara's father(while on his death bed) gave her advice that she would later recall: "As a patriot, he had me serve my country with all I had, even with my life if need be; as the daughter of an accepted Mason, he had me seek and comfort the afflicted everywhere, and as a Christian he charged me to honor God and love mankind" Carrier Archives In April 1862, after the First Battle of Bull Run, Barton established an agency to obtain and distribute supplies to wounded soldiers. Finally, in July 1862, she obtained permission to travel behind the lines, eventually reaching some of the grimmest battlefields of the war and serving during the Siege of Petersburg and Richmond, Virginia. In 1865, President Abraham Lincoln placed Barton in charge of the search for the missing men of the Union Army. When the war ended, Barton and Dorence Atwater were sent to Andersonville with 42 headboard carvers, and Barton gave credit to young Dorence for what came to be known as The Atwater List (nearly 13,000 men was considered invaluable) in her report of the venture. Dorence also has a report at the beginning of this list, still available through Andersonville National Historic Site in Georgia. She was also known as "The Angel of the Battlefield". Her work in Andersonville is displayed in the book, Numbering All the Bones, by Ann Rinaldi. This experience launched her on a nationwide campaign to identify all soldiers missing during the Civil War. She published lists of names in newspapers and exchanged letters with soldiers families. She met Susan B. Anthony and began a long association with the suffrage movement. She also became acquainted with Frederick Douglass and became an activist for black civil rights, or an abolitionist. In 1870, while she was overseas, she became involved with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and its humanitarian work during the Franco-Prussian War. Created in 1864, the ICRC had been chartered to provide humane services to all victims of war under a flag of neutrality. in 1873, Barton finally succeeded during the administration of President James Garfield, using the argument that the new American Red Cross could respond to crises other than war. As Barton expanded the original concept of the Red Cross to include assisting in any great national disaster, this service brought the United States the "Good Samaritan of Nations" label. Barton naturally became President of the American branch of the society, which was founded on May 21, 1881 in Dansville, N.Y. John D. Rockefeller donated funds to create a national headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania located one block from the White House. In 1896, responding to the humanitarian crisis in the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of the Hamidian Massacres, Barton sailed to Istanbul and after long negotiations with Abdul Hamid II, opened the first American International Red Cross headquarters in the heart of Beijing, China. Barton also worked in hospitals in Cuba in 1898 at the age of seventy-seven77. As criticism arose of her management of the American Red Cross, plus her advancing age, Barton resigned as president in 1904, at the age of 83. In 1975, Clara Barton National Historic Site was established as a unit of the National Park Service at Barton's Glen Echo, Maryland home, where she spent the last 15 years of her life. One of the first National Historic Sites dedicated to the accomplishments of a woman - how she worked and the early days of the American Red Cross. |
This page is a tribute to this amazing lady who help give Humanitarian a new meaning, through service regardless where and when it's needed. |

Replacing The PCV System On A BMW V8 Engine Part 2 Of 2
What do you think about this video?
Fernando Alvarez: best diy video I've ever seen. Please post more!!!! James Young: Awesome video!!! Best one yet on doing this job. Thank you so much!!! Thiago Salgado: What codes was it showing? P0171? P0174? I've got theses codes. Also, my car gives me a sound of a suction when I hit the throtle. And more, around 3400-3500 rpm on a hard accelaration, I get a hesitation from the engine... like it was out of air/fuel... thanks, Thiago waller647: Awesome 2 part video, thank you so much..... Ceelo totheworld: Exquisite 2pt video ! I would love to see you guys do a m62tu v8 vanos repair since it's so common calvin haugabrooks: I got a cap with my pcv kit from you guys. What is it for? And I have a m60 that dosnt use the second vaccum hose so how do I seal it? IntrigueDynamite: This procedure is best implemented in a Professional Auto Repair shop, where there may be a customer's unwillingness to pay the extra dollar, BUT, for the sake of anyone attempting to make the repair themselves, TAKE THE MANIFOLD OFF!! Replace the intake manifold gaskets while you are doing this job, as well as the O-rings and the front cover gasket as well. The galley pan gasket is optional, but not a bad idea, when doing this job as well. Nothing more aggravating than having to go back and do the same work to replace a small part that should've been replaced the first time around. However, this is a good video, and patient instructional, Nice Job. ;) ASE Master Tech. jorgemarr: Excellent two part video Marek Dominik Polak: hello I have a question (problem) replaced the PCV and all was well about half a year, recently pull out the dipstick and here'm hearing some gurgling and sucks her finger, what could be the cause of this? PVC is it again? Regards rudebuoy007: I ENJOY THESE VIDEO FROM BAVARIAN AUTOS, EXPLANATIONS ARE VERY INFORMATIVE, CLEAR AND CONCISE....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BAVAUTO. LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE. DO HAVE ONE QUESTION THOUGH, AND IT IS LIKE PULLING TEETH. I USE TO HAVE OIL CHANGE DONE AT CAR WASH PLACE FOR A FEW YEARS, CARE WAS NOT TAKEN TO REMOVE THE OIL HOUSING CAP AND AS A RESULT, THE MOUNTS WERE SHEARED OFF....LOOKED LIKE THE EASIEST THING TO REPLACE, BUT I AM CATCHING HELL WITH REMOVING IT...DO YU HAVE A VIDEO TO SHOW HOW IT SHOULD BE PROPERLY DONE, BOUGHT NEW MOUNTS BUT CANT GET THE OLD ONES OFF...PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED. mackalino1: Ok I went onto your web site, and there are NO part stocked under "PCV".. I only see the "CCV" witch I believe are the two springs with the orange in color rubber type top that covers the spring on each side of the engine.. Campus Auto Retail Service(At Melbourne, FL.): just bought the car it's a 2006 550i with a 4.8L. the car does nice start up and no smoke which i can see but when the car is at idle then my friend told me it is smoking and last night i had it sitting at idle then i could smell smoke when i rev it up a big bulk of smoke comes out would this be the symptom or the valve seal. the reason i am asking is, valve seal is when the car sits for couple of days then you see smoke at start up. please advice BavarianAuto: You would load the cats with oil, which is not a good thing. If you do drive it, keep a very close eye on the oil level. Suzuki Marine: Eg in my case replacement of only the cap has not solved the problem because there was also a problem in one clamp on the lower side of the cover. When I removed the old cap, it also had cracked the hole for the clamp at the same place. I have not noticed it at the first time, but it leaks now, makes a noise and I will order second new part to be sure everything is OK there. I do not trust these plastic parts after 3 removals and re-installs, so it will be necessary to replace the whole part. mackalino1: I went to the BMW dealer & inquired about this PCV SYSTEM and they had NO knowledge of the part. Dose anyone out there know the actual name of the part that is being changed?? I have an 2006 750i (Sports Package) alawabidingcitizen: Thank you. I ended up replacing the whole cover not just valve. Result: Still smoke puff at start up, sometimes. Suction from dipstick went from too much to barely feel it. Engine sounds softer. Could it be the front intake manifold cover? The thick hose that attaches to the bottom of the cover from driver's side with a spring seemed wiggly as if it wasn't connected to anything on the other end? Is that normal? Bottom of front manifold cover is a little oily? benlit13: Mate this is a great DIY vid, will be needing to do this install next week. My 535i v8 has a bad idle, blows some smoke at startup, and is making strange noise's like a squealing (releasing a balloon ) noise 30sec after shut down. Im assuming this would be the cause of my problems. ? Well done and keep up the great work, look forward to viewing more of these DIY's. BavarianAuto: Typical symptoms can include; oil usage, oil smoke from the exhaust, symptoms that would point to an intake vacuum leak, suction in the crankcase (when you remove the dipstick) or a whistling noise. ccrider: you could have shown us where the old part failed. i've seen where guys can get away with replacing just the cap. it's a lot easier too and only takes 15-20min. BavarianAuto: The N62 V8 is a different design from the M60/M62 V8 that is detailed in the video. The Crankcase ventilation check valves are incorporated into the round caps that are on the forward ends of the two valve covers. The valves are easy to replace. See the post on our Tech Blog at blog.bavauto.com ... search for N62 PCV , in the blog's search box. BavarianAuto: @87sunset87 - Yes, your symptoms certainly do seem to point at the PCV check valve. 410jasons: After I replaced mine it now makes a loud sound? BavarianAuto: Yes, the typical failure is that he rubber diaphragm ruptures. In this case, if you remove the round "cap" and diaphragm from the new check valve assembly you can just install this on the old assembly (after removing the old cap and diaphragm. 5150santana: I pulled the pipe with the spring all the way out. It went back in with a little resistance should i be conserened? goma3: What are the symptoms of PCV system in need of replacement/going bad? ahmad ismail: i love you BavarianAuto.. u guys are the best, nice work, clean and pro.. BavarianAuto: Thanks for your encouragement! Puttarak Rak: Yep now I'm have same problem and will fix in this month same. Cost for part about 120 US$ in dealer Thailand. Labour fee is free because I'm will do by myself. Fendrickson: Local dealer quoted this at $1300 on a 2000 740iL.. took some time and patience but just finished on my own thanks to your videos (and parts) for about $70. Can't beat that... did the valve cover gaskets and spark plugs while I was in there and the thing runs like new. Thank you! Homerraas: For a 10 min OSV swap search for kKNeN8tR3wM Andrew Thompson: Great video, great car! robert Wu: Such a great video. Thank you Mr. Otto! I had this problem on all the BMW V8 engines. I could have saved lots of money by doing this myself by watched your video. I will get parts from your guys when the problem happens to me again in the future. BavarianAuto: From your comment, we assume that you have an N62 V8. The crankcase ventilation check valves are indeed the two caps that fit onto the forward ends of the engine's valve covers. In this case, the units that you found at bavauto.com , by searching PCV, are indeed correct. alawabidingcitizen: Thank you for the detailed video. My 2001 740i is doing the start up smoke sometimes and I'm ready to act yet haven't bought the part nor decided which way to do it. I would like your advice on this: Since there is no moving parts other than the valve - which is the supposed faulty part - and since it can be difficult for someone like me to go through surprises that can arise, including hoses and not having every tool out there, can I just buy the valve and pop it up and replace it? Thanks much! 410jasons: My BMW is a 2000 540i BavarianAuto: Yes, by far, the most common fault is that the diaphragm ruptures. In this case, you can indeed separate the diaphragm assembly and just replace it, without removing the complete check valve cover assembly. BavarianAuto: BMW just calls it a "cover". We do have these in-stock in our online store. We have both original BMW and aftermarket. Just search "PCV" at BavAuto.com, or call our advisors at 800-535-2002. BavarianAuto: @noahtheviking We have a valve cover gasket DIY article in our Fasttimes Newsletter. The DIY was done on a V8, but a 6-cylinder would be similar (easier, actually). Additionally, the Bentley repair manual will detail the procedure for your BMW model. See the newsletter article on our web site BAVAUTO dot COM and click on "Free Newsletters" on the left side of the page, then go to the FALL 2009 issue. We have the gaskets and Bentley manuals in-stock at BAVAUTO dot COM, as well. BavarianAuto: Gee .... thanks! Really, though, thank you for the kind words. Mike Torbert: My car just started smoking bad after I got off the freeway today. I need to make the same 25 mile journey back home to install the new part. Am I going to do any major damage to my car by driving it 25 miles on the freeway with a bad CCV? Thanks for your help! BavarianAuto: Great! Thanks for sharing. |

Retailer websites are showing higher prices depending on where you live
Posted By Enrique Manalang On December 26, 2012 @ 12:07 AM In World Wide Web | 7 Comments
Turns out that shopping online in some retailers might not be worth the convenience anymore. That's because The Wall Street Journal has discovered that some retailers vary their pricing depending on their buyer's zip code.
Normally this wouldn't be such a big deal, because factors like shipping costs can vary depending on your location. But it turns out that retailers like Staples, Home Depot and Discover Financial Services will adjust their pricing based on the income distribution of where your IP address is located. This sort of generalizing puts consumers in the losing end for a variety of reasons, the least of which is not everyone in what is determined to be a "richer" area is rich.
This isn't the only factor of course, as shipping costs definitely still influence the final price of your purchase. Also, not every retailer that sells online is guilty of the scheme. It's just something we should be aware about, because a trend like this is something we all don't wanna see catch on, that's for sure.

The cast is a marvel to watch as it slaloms through this physically demanding production. Harry Groener makes for a likable, frenetic John, so intent on keeping his secret that his fabrications spin out of control. Groener is a natural physical clown, forever flopping on the floor or banging into walls, and he puts his all into the role. He's paired with the superb Paxton Whitehead as Stanley, who, though well-known for his classical work (he's the former artistic director of Canada's Shaw Festival), is equally adept at low clowning. He's a master of those long-neglected comedic skills -- the take, the double-take, the slow burn, the lie circumstantial and the lie direct. Whitehead's clarity, timing, and comedic invention are marvelous; local acting students and pros alike would do well to study his performance.
This splendid duo is complemented by an all-too-brief second-act appearance by the redoubtable Tony Randall as Stanley's dad, a classic Pantaloon, which was a traditional role-type even back in Plautus's day. Randall doesn't say much in this show, but he doesn't have to. He scores laughs on almost every line he has, most of which are mere non sequiturs rather than punch lines. He, like Groener, is remarkably adept at physical comedy, with several knockabout gags that must have been ancient in the days of vaudeville. That serious talents like Randall, Whitehead, and Groener opted to join such foolery as this show elevates them all in my book. Comedy is hard, says the old adage, but these guys make it look easy. All three stars are ably backed by a foursome of fine performers, including Groener's real-life wife Dawn Didawick as a fiery Mary, the lovely Ann Sidney as Barbara, newcomer Justin Schultz as a hilariously annoying Gavin, and Daisy Eagan, a Tony Award winner for The Secret Garden some years back, as his equally grating counterpart Vicki.
Have I rhapsodized overmuch? Then let me add a dash of salt. While this is a show you ought not to miss, take care which performance you attend, as the show's overall effect varies widely from one night to another. The first night I watched Caught in the Net, the large crowd meshed with the company's spot-on timing. But the second time (yes, I sometimes check back in), the much smaller Tuesday crowd didn't quite click with the cast, which seemed a bit off after a grueling week of shows and one day's rest. With this kind of comedy, the audience is part of the show's rhythm, and small crowds tend to be quieter and less responsive. You can't predict when the company will be off-pace or on, but you can anticipate the size of the audience. Comedy's a lot like surfing: You need those great swells and gales of laughter to build a rhythm, and it's hard to get that going with small audiences in a big theater. So if you want to catch some comedic waves, do it when the house is full. But do it soon -- alas, the show closes this weekend.

Taylor swift was recently interviewed by female first . She talked about how life is hard for her and is able to put her feelings into her music and lyrics. read the interview below...
Taylor Swift finds life hard.
The '22' hitmaker is known for penning songs based on her own heartbreak - most recently her short-lived relationship with teen pin-up Harry Styles - and has now revealed she finds the process emotionally draining because she has so many intense feelings.
Speaking to ELLE magazine's new Women in Music issue, Taylor lamented: "All these emotions, everything that's said and all your experience, that's what inspires the first flicker of a song. It's hard being a human being."
"This album is like saying I am who I am, not who you want me to be."
Taylor, 23, has been very vocal in the past about the perils of songwriting and the subtle gradient of emotions she experiences when her relationships go wrong.
She said: "I break down emotions into like 50 million categories. There's the missing-him kind of sadness. There's the frustrated-and-confused, don't-know-why-it-ended kind of sadness, there's the sadness tinged with anger ... There's the I know we can't be together but I miss you right now, there's the sadness tinged with anger, there's the sadness that has guilt with it, there's the sadness that has a little bit of hope that he'll come back.
"That's why emotions are so beautiful to write about because they all sound so different to me."

Older Drivers
Frequently Asked Questions
3. Do older drivers get into a lot of car crashes?
Fortunately, the rate of crashes among adults 65 and over has decreased in recent years. Studies show that older drivers are less likely to be involved in crashes related to alcohol use, speeding, and driving at night. But they are more likely to get into crashes at intersections (usually in the vehicle that is struck); crashes in which the front of one vehicle hits the side of another vehicle; and crashes involving merging near a faster vehicle or a vehicle that is in the older driver's blind spot.

Preppers Beware: Gas Can Manufacturers Warn of Shortage During 2012 Hurricane Season
Categories: Broward News
As you've surely learned from us by now, a central tenet of prepping is that you never know what's coming, and it's best to do all you can for any type of scenario. This year, however, economic situations have put a pinch on a valuable commodity: gas cans to hold the extra fuel for your escape route out of town.
The Portable Fuel Container Manufacturers Association is spreading the word that "supply chain issues" could "threaten their ability to meet consumer demand" this season.
A chief member of that association has been Blitz USA, which says it manufactures around 75 percent of those red plastic gas cans sold in the United States. But last year, Blitz went through Chapter 11 bankruptcy. "If the company's reorganization efforts fail," the association says in a release, "there will be a severe shortage of consumer gas cans as early as this summer."
The companies warn that "other manufacturers face similar uncertainty." A visit to the association's website yields even more dire information: "The portable fuel container manufacturing industry as we know it is fast reaching a point of no return. The small companies which comprise our industry are being overwhelmed by product liability lawsuits."
Seems that when people aren't hoarding gas cans, they like suing the companies that make them, probably because they do stupid things and ending up spilling gas and lighting themselves on fire, or using gasoline to start fires.
In response, the industry is fighting for mandated safety standards for gas cans, which somewhat surprisingly don't seem to already exist. That way, people couldn't sue the companies as easily, because the cans they buy would have already been certified as standards-compliant.
Anyway, best get to Home Depot and start fillin' up before financial troubles and Ma Nature conspire to send your house elsewhere. Just don't get fancy and try to use that gas to light the barbecue.

[I] ART AND ECOLOGY In recent years, there have a been a number of high-profile exhibitions, publications, festivals and conferences on art and ecology. Examples range from large surveys such as Radical Nature: Art and Architecture for a Changing Planet 1969–2009 at the Barbican Art Gallery in London in 2009, to more exploratory and research-oriented projects such as Foodprint currently at Stroom in The Hague. The latter forges connections between art and collaborative urban projects that attempt to practice more sustainable ways of living in today's cities. The first panel will critically consider the various meanings of 'ecology' as well as the rhetoric of 'sustainability', recognizing these buzzwords as deeply political, contentious and ideological. The concept of ecological awareness is at the heart of Smithson's practice in various ways. At the beginning of the 1970s, Smithson envisioned the artist as a "mediator between the ecologist and the industrialist" and questioned the increasing consumer culture. At the same time, Smithson was highly critical of what he regarded as the pastoral and picturesque fantasies of many ecologists. What can we learn from Smithson's and other historical artistic practice when conducting a critical investigation into the current relationship between art, ecology and sustainability?
[II] THE CINEMATIC CONDITION A second aspect of Robert Smithson's work that is highly relevant for contemporary art concerns its highly mediatized form of perceptual experience. Although Smithson may have entered the canon of art history as a chief protagonist of Land Art, his use of media was far more diverse. Ranging from earthworks to photo-essays, magazine writings to installations, it was the cinematic model that served the artist as an important means to dislocate the actual site of the earthwork and create an 'in-between' space. In this fashion, Smithson invented a new cinematic configuration in which avant-garde, classical, essayistic and documentary forms of filmmaking intersect, and which allows multiple forms of experience and comprehension to proliferate. As a result spectators are not provided a privileged standpoint from which to observe the work and become radically de-centralized. Without doubt, Smithson's cinematic work constituted an important precursor of more recent filmic practices within the visual arts. Indeed it is often claimed that since the 1990s a veritable 'filmic' turn in contemporary art has taken place. This panel asks how examining Smithson's legacy might provide us better insight into current artistic positions concerning the cinematic condition and spectatorship in art. To what extent do the set of institutional, technical and cultural parameters that determined the cinematic condition of post-minimal art, and Smithson's work in particular, coincide with or, alternatively, diverge from our present?

Old School Keepsake Box
By: Jenny for Jolee's Boutique
This personalized keepsake box from Jolee's Boutique is a great way to store your favorite mementos. You can make this Old School Keepsake Box to store photos, school memories, or cherished recipes and notes from your loved ones.
- Adhesive Fabric Sheets from Jolee's
- Metal Ribbons
- Fleur De Lis Cabochons
- Cutterpede Straight Edge Trimmer
- XACTO Knife
- HERMA Dotto Permanent Dot Adhesive
- Wooden cigar box or similar
- Rayon seam binding
- Satin ribbon: red, blue, 1/2" wide
- Pigment ink: light brown
- Misting bottle
- Craft glue
- You will be covering the outside and inside of the box, including sides and edges, with the adhesive fabric (you may choose to leave some interior sides uncovered as we did). Plan your fabric patterns to fit the box measurements, mixing patterns as desired. We chose the sampler design for the cover and a label design for the inside of the cover. Make notes of what sizes you need including any wraparound to the sides. Using the old adage "measure twice, cut once," trim fabric sheets to your noted pattern sizes. To apply, pull back a little of the release paper and align with the box panel you are covering. Press in place, pulling away the release paper as you proceed and smoothing out any wrinkles.
- Adhere satin ribbon using the Herma adhesive to accent outer and inner edges as desired; miter the corners by folding the ribbon, adding adhesive on the mitered folds. Cut away ribbon around the box's hinge hardware.
- Ink a 12" length of white seam binding with light brown pigment ink: mist with water and crumple into ball (you might want to use latex gloves for this step). Let dry, maintaining the wrinkles. Form a loose bow and adhere to the front of the box. Center a decorative metal ribbon on the bow.
- Select and add a fleur de lis cabochon to the inside cover of the box.

Sgt. Steve Martos said the suspect had forced entry into the home and was in the process of removing things when the homeowner, an armed security guard, arrived at about 10 p.m.
The homeowner found the suspect coming out of one of the bedrooms. A confrontation occurred and the homeowner shot the suspect then left the house to call police.
Officers entered the home and found the suspect, later identified as Aaron Fisher, 22, inside and unresponsive. He was transported to an area hospital where he died.
The case will be submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office for review.

Few titles are founded on such a playful bedrock of action aspirations as Metal Gear.
Hideo Kojima - Snake's creator, and a highly affable chap according to workmates who've met him - cites Western pop culture as his biggest influence.
Philosophy and topical debate play a part too, but not so much as the great thinkers: Willis, Russell and Van Damme (Kojima credits Snake's physical movement to the 'Muscles from Brussels').
But before Solid Snake there was Penta. A penguin. Kojima's first job for Konami was on Antarctic Adventure, a penguin-based action RPG. Showing early signs of his eye for the odd, he followed it up with a failed pitch for a platforming game about a female lucha libre wrestler.
Compared to this, the objective in his next game seemed positively mundane: infiltrate the military stronghold of Outer Heaven.
With a face torn from Michael Biehn (of Terminator fame) and a refreshing sneaking habit, Snake burst onto the MSX in 1987. Well, quietly shuffled in. Named after Kurt Russell's iconic anti-hero Snake Plissken (the eyepatched lead in John Carpenter's cult movie Escape From New York), he was a more endearing, if equally steely, figure - disarming Outer Heaven only to be betrayed by the leader of his own special-ops unit, FOXHOUND.
So began Metal Gear's epic narrative, a tale seemingly (but not quite) concluded 21 years later in Metal Gear Solid 4. With its acronymic oddity and characters hopping in and out of the grave, following Kojima's insane plot is a game unto itself.
The 1988 NES port of Metal Gear was made without Kojima's involvement, and although it sold a million copies, he badmouths it to this day. "Complete garbage" is the Kojima verdict. Sure, with redesigned maps it's not as tight as the original, but "garbage" is a little mean.
Maybe he's sore that the Metal Gear itself - the bipedal nuke tank that Snake spends all his games destroying - was removed from the game. You fight a pathetic super computer instead. But we can thank it in some ways - its success spawned a Kojima-free NES sequel, forcing him to counter-attack with the 'proper' canonical sequel on MSX.
Metal Gear: Snake's Revenge was the offending NES follow-up. A horrendous mishmash of a game that even dirtied the traditional top-down play with side-scrolling platform sections. Most laughable was the villain of the piece, Higharolla Kockamamie.
Thank the lords for Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Kojima's proper sequel which revived grand villain Big Boss and provided the world's last glimpse of Snake for eight years.
Brought out of retirement for a hostage situation on Shadow Moses Island (Snake's stage in Super Smash Bros Brawl), Snake's bizarre battles with the freakish FOXHOUND squad in 1998's Metal Gear Solid defined PlayStation gaming for many people. It made a pretty sizeable impression on GameCube owners when Silicon Knights revamped it as The Twin Snakes, too.
Kojima names action flick The Rock as an inspiration for Metal Gear Solid. Indeed, Kojima's regular music collaborator, Harry Gregson-Williams, worked as a music supervisor on the Alcatraz-storming actioner.
Kojima explains the name Solid Snake thusly: "This time Metal Gear is displayed in full polygonal form, and I used 'Solid' to describe the cubic structure. And, of course, Solid from Solid Snake." Makes sense. Sort of. Incidentally, Van Damme may have inspired the body, but the face belonged to Christopher Walken.
Although the Metal Gear Solid series was clearly Snake's natural home, there were occasional spin-offs over the years too, including Metal Gear Solid on the Game Boy Color. Released as Ghost Babel in Japan, this spin-off saw Snake return to Outer Heaven, now renamed Gindra, to face off against another gang of madly monikered hoodlums. Pyro Bison and Marionette Owl are particular faves. In our eyes it remains Snake's finest 2D outing.
The world of Snake - where grand ponderings on ethics in the nuclear age sit alongside poop gags - is too enticing not to return to time and time again. Here's hoping the upcoming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain continues the epic yet quirky saga in typical Kojima fashion.
A Snake in the grass
With a timeline spanning 54 years and a twelve main games released over the past 25 years, it's safe to say the Metal Gear series has one of the most complex stories in gaming history.
With that in mind, here's our attempt at a potted history of the Metal Gear storyline, in chronological order. If you're a little confused about which Snake is which, this should help you out.
