Sam Warburton believes Wales will take "massive confidence" from their status as reigning Six Nations champions.
Wales have not beaten another Test-playing country since defeating France to secure last season's Six Nations title and a third Grand Slam in eight years.
Losses against Australia (four times), New Zealand, Argentina and Samoa mean that Wales are experiencing their most barren run for nine years and go into this season's tournament as fourth favourites behind France, England and Ireland.
Ireland are first up at the Millennium Stadium, a reversal of last year's opening fixture in Dublin when Wales prevailed thanks to full-back Leigh Halfpenny's late penalty strike.
Despite a lengthy injury list that currently includes the likes of Ryan Jones, Rhys Priestland, Richard Hibbard, Alun-Wyn Jones, Luke Charteris and Bradley Davies - plus head coach Warren Gatland's absence due to British and Irish Lions commitments - Warburton remains in upbeat mood.
"We were not favourites last year, but as players you ignore it," he said.
"No-one really knows what is going to happen until the first weekend of rugby. After it, we will have a much better idea of how teams are shaping up.
"We will take massive confidence from going into the game as defending Grand Slam champions. Regardless of what has happened since then, you cannot take that away from us.
"It was a great achievement and a lot of the boys from last year are here and know what it takes. The young players can let the negatives go over their heads and not affect them.
"It is a very confident camp, and I am always the optimist."
Wales, despite their reputation as a free-scoring team with an emphasis on tries, managed just three touchdowns in four games during this season's autumn series.
But with firepower like Halfpenny, George North and Alex Cuthbert in their ranks, it will be a major surprise if Wales do not look to put width on the ball.
"The intention is to go for it in this championship," said Wales' interim head coach Rob Howley.
"The speed of ball will depend on the conditions, but the focus of our game is ball in hand and to put them (Ireland) under pressure with our passing game.
"We expect an aerial battle as well. There will be times when all bets are off and you need to put the ball in the air, and it is getting those in-game decisions right."
Key to Welsh victory aspirations will be fly-half Dan Biggar, who wins his 12th cap tomorrow but makes a first Six Nations appearance in more than four years after he first played Test rugby.
Howley, who preferred Biggar to James Hook as replacement for the absent Priestland, added: "Dan has matured a lot over the last 12 months and he has been knocking on the door continually.
"We have given him a lot of feedback in terms of his game management, running threat and kicking game, and from his perspective it is a matter of turning up confident on Saturday and going out and playing the game as he sees it.
"We have a pretty potent back-line, and the management is about when to bring them in and when to play for position and when to run. You want your half-backs to bring out the best in the players around them, and Dan will do that."
Wales completed their preparations at the Millennium Stadium today, with a clean bill of health reported among the squad by forwards coach Robin McBryde.
"That stat (seven defeats) has been thrown at us quite a bit, and we are all feeling it" he said.
"It is a fine line between failure and success at international level. Unfortunately, we've fallen on the wrong side. It is a bit of backs against the wall, and everyone knows how important the opening game of a Six Nations is."
And defence coach Shaun Edwards underlined the threat Ireland could pose, having scored more points than any other team in last season's tournament and now lifted by returning star backs Brian O'Driscoll and Rob Kearney, who both missed the autumn games through injury.
"Ireland had the best offence in last year's Six Nations, and some of the rugby they played against Argentina in the autumn was breathtaking," Edwards said.
"We know we are going to be massively challenged defensively. They have a lot of creative players, and we've got to make sure we don't give them the kind of space Argentina did.
"If you give them that kind of space, they will punish you."
Wales: L Halfpenny (Cardiff Blues); A Cuthbert (Cardiff Blues), J Davies (Scarlets), J Roberts (Cardiff Blues), G North (Scarlets); D Biggar (Ospreys), M Phillips (Bayonne); G Jenkins (Toulon), M Rees (Scarlets), A Jones (Ospreys), A Coombs (Newport Gwent Dragons), I Evans (Ospreys), A Shingler (Scarlets), S Warburton (Cardiff Blues, capt), T Faletau (Newport Gwent Dragons).

I don't get people who find Kerastase doesn't work for them..I really can't even imagine that..maybe Kerastase does work nothing spectacular only for hair wich doesn't have sirious dry/damage issues,but for me Kerastase is just life saver.Every shampoo of this range I've ever tried has really nourishing properties,as well as this one.I like to use it in combination with Age Recharge Mask {also green line},and It works wonderfull.I can't tell You if this gives me volume,but surely this shampoo makes my hair less limp than Kerastase Bain Satin 3 for example,wich I also use,but more sparingly.I don't use this shampoo on my scalp as well as any other Kerastase shampoo,except Kerastase Bain Prevention {for hair loss} wich is my regular 'scalp' shampoo.Why?Well,I find Bain Prevention doesn't make my scalp greasy,unlike other Kerastase shampoos.So I find solution: on scalp I use Kerastase Bain Prevention,but on ends of my hair I use Bain Satin 3 or this one.I find this works perfectly for me.Great solution,even though very expensive solution.But who cares about price as long as I get all those compliments on my hair :P .
All of Keraste products are the worst, except for the leave in Ciment Thermique, which has Milk properties. Don't waste your time nor money. It's the same stuff L'oreal sells in the drugstores. Those don't work on me either, why would I ever think these would? It's all about the packaging and hype. I'm not cheap. However, I wasted a fortune trying out the different lines. It must be filled with harsh ingredients. My hair looks great with good products. You are better off at Whole Foods and get yourself some good shampoos that are nourishing your hair and scalp, not garbage as Kerastase with all the media hype. Sorry, but it's true. $40 a bottle for shampoo, $60 for deep conditioners. Too funny. They got me, no more.
Hmmm. I found that after washing my hair with this and blowdrying my hair, it had nice movement and a bit more volume than usual, which I was happy with. However I colour my hair a very light blonde and I found that this shampoo wasn't fantastic in terms of keeping my hair healthy- it had dry, splitting ends. I love Kerastase products. This shampoo was lovely but didn't take care of my hair the way it needs to be taken care of. It was recommended to me because my hair is fine and quite prone to damage, and although it gave me nice volume, it did nothing for strengthening- Bain de Force is much better. My mum and cousin both have naturally straight, fine hair, which is always exceedingly healthy (I don't think they've had a split end in their lives, grrr) and they swear by it. Its for this type of hair I think. No issues with the price, I believe Kerastase products are well worth what you pay for them. Packaging looks lovely in the bathroom. Good shampoo, just not for me. I'd buy it again if I didn't need more from it and volume was all I was after.

I tried almost all Kerastase shampoos and most of them made my hair flat or frizzy. This shampoo is amazing. I have medium hair and this made my hair very shiny, full of body and healthy looking. Most volumizing shampoos strip the hair but not this one. I actually got a lot of compliments on my hair. Def. buy again!
I probably would buy this product again, but not in a hurry! For a shampoo, which gets a lot of use, it's fiendishly expensive.
It's designed for "fine,vulnerable hair". I'm not sure what vulnerable hair is but mine is fine. It is meant to give it volume and it does a fairly good job at this. It makes it quite shiny too.
Quite a nice rich shampoo with a pleasant smell - but too pricy!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this shampoo (or hair bath as kerastase likes to call them) for the volumizing effect. When I used it for the first time I was disappointed that it wouldn't lather very well. Then I learnt from a hair stylist that you have to lather up twice (as in lather, rinse, repeat) to get it to lather up well and voila, this worked!!! The lather was gorgeous and creamy and really felt like it was cleansing my hair and nourishing it at the same time and the smell is to die for! I use this is conjunction with other kerastase hair produts and love how my hair feels. Clean, light, bouncy and healthy. Love it!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I don't understand the poor reviews for this product because it's the only shampoo that I've found that works on my fine, limp hair! I usually wash my hair twice with it, only a couple times a week. I think the key to all shampoos is not to keep using them every day. Anyways, after a little conditioner on the ends of my hair and after drying, I have a lot of volume. I would not suggest using this every day for weeks because it does create a lot of build up on the scalp. Definitely worth it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Apart from a nice smell and lots of lather, this didnt do anything noticable for my very fine hair. I've had better results from cheaper shampoos. Worse thing is I got suckered into buying the whole volumactive range. Wont repurchase once the bottle is empty.
Edited March 6th 07 - I have to take my words back. After cutting my long hair into a sleek short bob, I have to say this shampoo does help to create the illusion of volume. Hair behaves nicely, no flyaways etc. Still, for the price, I'm not sure if I would repurchase

News Release 660
Department refers four businesses to attorney general for underground storage tank violations
Volume 38-660 (For Immediate Release)
For more information:
JEFFERSON CITY, MO, NOV. 24, 2010-- The Missouri Department of Natural Resources has referred four businesses to the Missouri Attorney General's Office for failure to meet financial responsibility requirements for underground storage tanks, a violation of Missouri's Underground Storage Tank Law.
Businesses referred to the attorney general in September were:
- Victory Lane Fuel & Food 2 LLC in Troy, Lincoln County.
- Easy Pickin in Raytown, Jackson County.
- Goose Creek Market N Pub in French Village, St. Francois County.
- US Oil in King City, Gentry County.
All of these facilities have been cited for operating petroleum underground storage tanks without a required financial responsibility mechanism. Petroleum underground storage tank owners and operators are required to have funds to pay for cleanup and damages that may occur as the result of a petroleum release from their underground storage tank systems. Ways to meet the requirements of financial responsibility could include:
- Pollution liability insurance (state fund or private insurer).
- Financial test of self insurance.
- Letter of credit.
- Trust fund.
- Surety bond.
Missouri's Underground Storage Tank Law exist to protect human health and the environment and the department is responsible for enforcing the law and regulations.
The department's enforcement actions help protect human health and the environment by encouraging facilities to maintain compliance. The main goal in any enforcement action is to work with a facility to successfully achieve compliance with the regulatory standards and then ensure it has the tools to remain in compliance. As part of that process, penalties may be assessed to ensure future compliance by removing the economic benefit of continued noncompliance.
The department strives to work with owners and operators to fix problems before an issue is referred. In situations where the responsible party is unwilling or unable to cooperate to bring the facility into compliance and be protective of human health and the environment, the department will refer the case.
For more information on financial responsibility, visit the department's website at dnr.mo.gov/env/hwp/tanks/ustfinresp.htm or contact the Hazardous Waste Program at 573-751-3176 or call toll-free at 800-361-4827.

State Rep. Jerry ONeil, (R-Mont.), on why he wants the state legislature to pay him in gold coins.
State Rep. Jerry ONeil, (R-Mont.), on why he wants the state legislature to pay him in gold coins.
A Montana state lawmaker is asking that he be paid in gold coins because of his lack of faith in the U.S. dollar amid a rising deficit.
Jerry ONeil, a Republican just reelected in his northern Montana district, says his constituents told him he was not honoring his duty to uphold the U.S. Constitution, which ONeil and Gold Standard supporters say requires the government to print money backed by gold.
Well, a Ron Paul state senator in Montana.
Think we could run him for office there? Any Montananites on the forum?
Yes. They have one House seat because of the low population. This past election would have been the time to run, as state house member Steve Daines(R) took over for Rehberg.
Unfortunately Tim Baldwin, Chuck's son, lost 46-54 percent in his state house race. I would like to see him/Chuck run again for something.

Asking to be paid on gold is of course a sympolic gesture to try to make a point. He is free to convert his salary to gold once he receives his FR notes.
I am Zippy and I approve of this message. But you don't have to.
Montana GOP Rep.: "Pay Me In Gold Before Dollars Have No Value"
Jerry O'Neil, six-term GOP state representative in Montana, has asked to receive his salary (which at $10.33 per hour is around $1800 per month) in gold or silver. The long-standing legislator was driven to this decision by his constituents' concerns about the nation's massive debt-load and fears of our country's collapse as "only so many dollars can be printed before they have no value." The long-time Ron Paul supporter, according to Time, cited Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution, which says, in part, that "No State shall... make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts." State administrators have denied his request and added that "a bill could be introduced to accomplish this result." O'Neil, like many other, believes "The Keynesian era of financing government with debt appears to be close to its demise."
From O'Neil's Letter (via HuffPo):
Via Time:It is very likely the bottom will fall out from under the U.S. dollar. Only so many dollars can be printed before they have no value. The Keynesian era of financing government with debt appears to be close to its demise.
If and when that happens, how can we in the Montana Legislature protect our constituents? -- The only answer I can come up with is to honor my oath to the U.S. Constitution and request that your debt to me be paid in gold and silver coins that will still have value when the U.S. dollar is reduced to junk status. I therefore request my legislative pay to be in gold and silver coins that are unadulterated with base metals.
A GOP state representative in Montana who asked to receive his salary in gold and silver coins has been rebuffed by the states Office of Legislative Services. Rep. Jerry ONeil, who hails from the small town of Columbia Falls in the northwest corner of the state, sent a letter earlier this month requesting that his salary from here on in be paid in coins.
Given the state of the U.S. economy and the massive national debt, ONeil reportedly worried that Americas paper currency could be on the brink of collapse. Only so many dollars can be printed before they have no value, he explained to the local Daily Inter Lake newspaper. According to USA Today, ONeil is a longtime supporter of Ron Paul, the former Texas congressman and perennial presidential candidate who advocates a return to the gold standard.
However, it was ONeils constituents who led him to consider requesting his salary in coins. ONeil has never before raised the subject of how he should be paid during his six terms as state representative for Montanas Flathead Valley. My constituents, when I went door to door, one of the things they were interested in was the $17 trillion national debt, he explained to the Huffington Post. Some of my constituents said we would not have this problem if we had currency backed by gold.
Making his case to the Daily Inter Lake, ONeil cited Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constution, which says, in part, that No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.
How can we in the Montana Legislature protect our constituents? ONeil asked in his letter to the Office of Legislative Services.
Montana state legislators are paid $10.33 per hour while the legislature is in session; ONeil estimated his salary to be about $1,800 a month, close to the market value of one 2012 American Eagle One Ounce Gold Proof Coin, according to Politico.
Sheryl Olson, the deputy director of the Montana Department of Administration, told the Huffington Post that state employees are paid either by a state warrant of payment (basically, a check) or via direct deposit. To her knowledge, ONeil is the only government worker to have requested payment in gold coin, she said.
Montana legislative attorney Jaret Coles responded to ONeils letter last week, informing him that neither the U.S. Constitution nor Montana state law requires an agency to pay its debts with gold and silver, according to the Flathead Beacon. Coles explained in his letter that if a member of the legislature wishes to be paid in gold or silver a bill could be introduced to accomplish this result, reports Politico.
ONeil has decided not to follow through on this advice and is looking into other options.
"The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing."
--Albert Jay Nock

Dear Friends,
I have add a custom assignment block on the overview page to show the data of a custom table. To add assignment block, I have
created a new view and have added value node with the attributes as per requirement. I have also added edit, insert and delete buttons there. All the things are working fine but Save is not working. To save data, I have used custom controller and trying to fetch data in the overview page controller class, but the custom controller is not reflecting the new value(added/modified), it only shows the previous value. So I am not able to save the changes in the custom table and I want to save the changes only though the save button on overview page..
Please help in this regard.
Thanks a lot !
Hi John,
Are you binding Custom controller context node to your view context node or are you trying to fill the custom controller context node whenever edit or insert event occurs?
Hi John Right ,
bind your custom view context node to your custom controller context node then all the changes are reflected to customer controller. then you know all the procedure to fetch data from custom controller .
Hi Nithish/Siva,
I have already binded the view context node to custom controller context node bui some how the changes is not getting reflected in the custom controller.This is the point where I have got stuck.
Thnks a lot !
Hi John,
While adding/modifying attribute in the Custom Assignment Block , in the debug mode after setting the attribute check out the current entity ,and compare with the entity in custom controller at that point .It should maintain the same instance.As your view is in overview page , the custom controller should still be active when it reaches ON_SAVE event.
It is possible that the collection in the custom controller is being overwriteen by some toher istance of the same context node.
Possibly you should put a breakpoint in methods like DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT, or other methods which are calle don rounttrips.These are the ones which will be called after you save method,and you will get an idea if any replacement to the entity is done here.
also try to check the ON_NEW_FOCUS of the custom controller and the view context nodes.
Hi John,
To fetch the values of a view in overview you can use the following method.
In the method of the overview page fetch the value of the view controller.
Data: lr_viewctrl TYPE REF TO cl_bsp_wd_view_controller. lr_viewctrl = me->get_subcontroller_by_viewname( 'BT231H_ACQC/Contractview' ). "Here give your view name
Now you can get the values of the view.
It will be good if you can create a CN at Component controller level and use it for save. Make sure you bind it with View/Custom Controller Node. Once the save is done sucessfully make sure you refresh the entity.
Also you should clear the old values once your view is loaded.

As a spec writer at BNIM Architects, Sarah Hirsch uses Twitter to tune into the latest news of the material world. Rather than follow manufacturers, she selects their reps, who tend to intersperse product information and installation tips with personal interests. "By doing so, I become familiar with them and comfortable calling on them when I want to use one of their products," she says.
A prime example is John Danes, door opening consultant with ASSA ABLOY, based in New Haven, Conn. He uses Twitter (@johndanes), Pinterest (pinterest.com/assaabloy/assa-abloy-solutions), and a personal website (johndanes.com) to share news.
BNIM also recently opened a Pinterest account to display its own projects and check in on manufacturers, who pin photos of their wares in use. For starters, Hirsch compiled the following list of companies active on both Twitter and Pinterest.
• Armstrong: @ArmstrongFloor,pinterest.com/armstrongfloors
• Benjamin Moore: @Benjamin_Moore,pinterest.com/benjamin_moore
• Daltile: @daltile, pinterest.com/daltile/pins
• Kohler: @Kohler, pinterest.com/kohlerco
• Marvin Windows: @marvinwindows, pinterest.com/source/marvin.com
• Pella: @pella_news, pinterest.com/pellawindows
• Sherwin-Williams: @_AskSW_,pinterest.com/SherwinWilliams
• Silestone: @SilestoneUSA,pinterest.com/source/silestone.com
• Trex: @Trex_Company, pinterest.com/trexcompany
"I highly recommend that specifiers experiment with a social media platform or two," she says. "You may be surprised how much you learn and how much information there is to share."—c.w.
In the research-and-curate realm, architects have become opportunists: These days, product inspiration can come from a blog, a company rep, a local construction site, or, like it or not, an Internet ad. "I'm a surfer, and occasionally I notice product placement ads for architecture popping up when I look at surfing websites," Eerkes says. "The ads follow you wherever you go; it's like the movie Minority Report."
Without those anachronistic binders, albeit neatly organized and within arm's reach, the trick is creating order from the cacophony of windows, weather barriers, and boutique paints. BNIM's Sarah Hirsch, LEED AP, spec writer and a recent winner of the Construction Specifications Institute Specifications Writer Award, maintains the office's master specs list but also is exploring the use of GreenWizard as an online library for manufacturer information.
Social media adds another search-and-sort overlay. "We're struggling with how to grab and organize Twitter information," Hirsch says. "Most of it is in our heads." She also uses Bo.lt, a storage and sharing site similar to Pinterest.
In some ways, spec-writing has come full circle, mixing powerful technologies with personal contact. To be a 21st-century architect is to embrace the knowledge that the pursuit of the perfect product often means crowd-sourcing, both globally and close to home. As much as we dutifully try to keep up with everything on offer these days, we continue to rely on institutional memory, trusted reps, and the colleague at the next desk.
"We use a lot of old-fashioned communication," Nagle says. "The best way to transfer this information is to make sure we're talking face-to-face. We're always researching together at various scales. You see what everyone else is doing."

The site is a desert coast along a very productive ocean. The area contains sandy beaches, rocky intertidal zones, and rocky cliffs.
Data from the International Shorebird Survey (ISS) have been reviewed by ornithologists from ECCO (Ecología y Conservación) through a small grant from WHSRN. High counts include (total shorebirds):
10,000 birds on January 28, 1978 (P. Donahue);
13,692 birds on February 7, 1978 (P. Donahue), and
"ca. 50,000" birds on September 1, 1978 (K. Anderson).
Dominant species are Sanderling (Calidris alba), Western Sandpiper (Calidris mauri), Semipalmated Sandpiper (Calidris pusilla), and Black-bellied Plover (Pluvialis squatarola).
Aerial censuses by the Canadian Wildlife Service (1985) revealed 7,700 Calidris alba (8.1% of the Pacific coast population). Morrison and Ross recommended the reserve for WHSRN incorporation as a regional site based on percentage criteria. There are tens of thousands of shorebirds that feed about 15 miles north at the Río Pisco Mouth, and spend the night within the reserve boundaries. These birds are not included in any of the diurnal censuses mentioned above. If included, the total number of shorebirds in Paracas would reach close to 100,000 birds.
The Paracas National Reserve is the most important point along the Peruvian coast for many species of mammals, including two species of seals, 160 species of birds, and numerous fish and shellfish. It hosts large colonies of guano birds.
Ecology & Conservation
The Paracas National Reserve is considered one of the most important in Peru, by Peruvian authorities and non-governmental organizations. It therefore always receives extensive media attention. This prominence among protected areas in Peru is an important asset that helps facilitate its conservation.

there's something on my mind that i know if i don't write down and let out of me, will probably cause me to explode.
i can't stop thinking about J.
i haven't been able to since i saw her both at kennywood and on community day. after cmu. day, she randomly texted me (i saw you today... and yesterday :o), which i found incredibly weird b/c, well... we aren't friends.
& then i began thinking back to when we were friends. it's been mainly selective memories. like, her sleeping over for the first time. us up until 4 AM, watching rent, listening to her sing and play piano. and all of the highschool football games we went to. something that stuck into my mind, though, is something i know she doesn't remember:
she was majorly crushing on a guy, who i'll call W because i have a feeling i'll be talking about him later on. J's not usually the shy type, but when it comes to the opposite sex... she blanks. her and i were talking about it one day last october, over IM or text, and she asked me
"well, what do i say to him?"
(i find it horribly sad that i still remember my answer.)
"okay. here - i've been wanting to say this for a while. i really like you and... will you go out with me?"
"whoa. for a second there i thought you were seriously asking me..."
(another pause.)
"... i was."
she doesn't respond.
"ahahah! JK." i answer.
and just tonight, i was talking to maura, who one of maybe... 3 people i trust 200%.
my parents are trying to force me into being assistant band manager (they wanted band manager, but scott, my hot friend, took it) and i REALLY don't want it.
i told maura, and her first reaction was, ":] i'll see you"
this is a big deal because maura and i don't really hang out all that often.
well, we've never hung out. we started talking last year... and never really stopped. IM, text.... etc.
anyway, i was talking to her about it, and said "i don't want to do anything like that. i want to attempt at starting the GSA, and otherwise be completely invisible."
after a while, i said what was on my mind the most, "i'll see j."
and she replied, "Good."
"not good."
"yes good"
"if i just stay away long enough, the feelings'll fade" at this, i start to tear up. lately i've been super emotional about this subject.
"it doesn't work like that."
"i want more than anything for them to just GO AWAY."
"but they won't." i completely break down when i read this.
i don't understand why it's so hard for me to get over this crush.
or maybe it isn't. i don't know how i feel right now, but i want every romantic feeling i ever had towards her absoloutely gone.
maybe it would have been better if she never moved here in the first place. that would make things WAY less complicated.
i probably wouldn't have ever come out if it wasn't for her, though.
but, L wouldn't have come out either. or K. ... or (i'm thinking of nicknames as i go along) H.
and i wouldn't be the school dyke. (which i don't mind sometimes. [most of] the boys at my school are icky)

A former farm laborer and busker on the Parisian metro, august bluesman Seasick Steve looked like he couldn't believe his luck as he regaled a packed house with songs from his latest album 'You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks' at the London iTunes Festival.
Seeming a little overwhelmed by the occasion, Steve summoned his Third Man Records boss Jack White and (Jack's Dead Weather band mate) Alison Mosshart to join him on-stage in a rendition of Mississippi Fred McDowell's blues stalwart 'Write Me A Few Lines'. Led Zeppelin axe-man John Paul Jones also accompanied ol' Steve and his spontaneous supergroup as they burned bright but brief through a one-song jam session. Watch it below.
A man with many celebrity pals, Steve was also guest of honor at a recent Foo Fighters stadium gig, having encountered frontman Dave Grohl years ago at Nirvana's first ever show. With the Foos playing the part of humble support musicians, Steve performed his album track 'Back In The Doghouse', receiving the ultimate endorsement when Dave hailed him as "the real deal". And there's really no higher accolade than a compliment from The Grohl. Watch the profanity-packed clip here.

Styling Tip
Use volumizing mousse all over, then blow-dry your hair with a large round brush applying tension while rolling the hair up at the root. Set random sized sections of dry hair on larger hot rollers placed randomly all over and allow to cool. Undo the rollers, tease your hair at the root then piece through the length until a volumous movement is reached.

The new disc, "Something Good For A Change," is almost ready to go to production. We're excited about it- 14 tracks, all new material. Engineered, mixed and produced by our own Nick Watson, and I have to say it sounds pretty damn good. I for one, am thrilled it's finally done and can't wait for you to hear it. We've been playing out some of the new tracks for a while now, most notably the title track and "Tom." Trevor, our resident creative/songwriting genius really brought his "A" game for this one. I also contributed one original song, "Down in the City," a previously unrecorded tune I wrote back in the day that we dusted off and breathed some seriously fresh air into! Thanks to everyone who has voted for us so far in the Bonnarroo competition. I was blown away when we made the top ten- had no idea we'd get that far, and it's all due to YOU! We have the greatest most loyal fans in the world and we know how lucky we are. Thanks so much for all your tremendous support- trust me we do not ever take it for granted. Lots of new shows being booked, thanks to our new tour manager/agent/chief cook and bottle washer, Rob Adolph. Rob and his wonderful wife Jen have been extraordinary in the way they have rejuvenated and re-worked our whole back office operation, and taken so much pressure off us so we can focus on the music. Bottom line- we have so much to be truly grateful for! See you again very soon Cheers, Neil |

Answered by
Sheikh `Abd al-Rahmân al-Jar`î, professor at King Khâlid University in Abhâ
Islam most certainly does not deny the existence of contagious diseases. In fact, the Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded us to avoid such diseases. He said: "Run away from the leper same as you would from a lion." [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (5707) and Sahîh Muslim (2220)]. He also said: "The person who has a contagious disease should not approach a healthy person." [Sahîh Muslim (2221)] In fact, Islam preceded modern societies by establishing the idea of quarantines. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If you hear that a land has been stricken by plague, do not approach it, and if your land is stricken by plague, do not leave it". [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (5728)] It is well-known that plague is contagious and the hadîth therefore gives us a general warning against all contagious diseases. It is true that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "There is no contagious disease, no intestinal serpent, and no omens in worms." To this, a desert dweller said: "O Messenger of Allah! What about the camels that can be in the desert as healthy as gazelles. Then a camel afflicted with a skin disease joins them and the whole lot falls ill?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: "Who made it so that the first camel got infected?" [Sahîh Muslim (2220)] This hadîth does not contradict with the other hadîth that we have previously mentioned. A Muslim believes that it is Allah, and not the other infected person, who causes the disease to afflict someone. Two people might be exposed to a deadly microbe while only one falls ill. The reason for this might be the difference in the strength of the immune system enjoyed by each person. The statement "no contagious disease" means that a contagious disease will not affect a person except with the permission of Allah, for indeed Allah is the one who causes all natural causes. This is what every Muslims should believe. The person who becomes infected with a contagious disease should refrain from going to the mosque to avoid transferring his disease to others. Disease is harmful and it should be avoided, as clearly stated in many authentic hadîth where the Prophet (peace be upon him) said "Harm should be removed." A Muslim will not be sinful for abandoning congregational prayer in the mosque under such circumstances, because sickness is something beyond his control. And Allah knows best.

text: Becoming a shift leader was fairly easy for me, but I realize that this might not be the case for everyone. The position was announced at work and I applied for it. My supervisor told me what I have to do and I was the shift leader. I'm sure that depending on the place of work, the number of employees and the tasks that have to be done, this process might be more difficult for others.

After a dull first-half Antalyaspor took the lead through Moroccan international winger Ismail Aissati, who scored through a penalty in the 77th minute, after Sancak Kaplan was adjudged to have fouled an opponent in the box.
However a 90th minute goal from Kalu ensured that had a share of the spoils.
Kalu converted a penalty resulting from a foul by Aissati to level the scores, as the Moroccan midfielder turned from hero to vallian.
Kalu was on for the entire duration of the game while Isaac Promise was taken off in 65th minute for Hasan Sismanoglu.
Kalu has now scored six goals in eleven appearances for third placed Kasimpasa and is the second highest goal scorer in the Turkish League.
While his countryman Isaac has scored three goals in eight appearances for table topping Antalyaspor

Current Time
Portugal 1200-270
Tel: 351 21 342 1112
Concierge.com's insider take:
In the unlikely surroundings of a grand Baroque dining room, José Avillez has injected a little levity into some of the old classics of Portuguese cuisine and brought vanguard cuisine to Lisbon. (He admires Ferran Adrià and was the first Portuguese chef to be invited to the prestigious foodie summit Madridfusión.) As the dishes were carried out, I imagined a kitchen crammed with syringes, beakers, and alembics. Avillez tends to sublimate hoary favorites of the national repertoire: Bacalhau à bras, known to every tourist as a hearty arrangement of codfish, egg yolk, and potatoes, was as delicately constructed as a bird's nest. A fillet of sea bass cooked at low temperature appeared draped in samphire and assorted seaweeds garnered from the nearby coast. In Avillez's hands even the pastel de nata, Portugal's beloved yet stodgy custard tart, has been alchemized into a dessert of exquisite lightness on leaves of mille-feuille. The final classic on view is the restaurant itself, which has been open for more than 200 years. Wisely, Avillez has left the splendor of its glorious gilt and mirrors intact. —Jack Turner, first published on Gourmet.com

We are pleased to announce that AQtime 7.3 is now available. The central theme for AQtime 7.3 is the support for the new version of Embarcadero RAD Studio XE2 development suite. The time-trusted profiler for Delphi and C++Builder, AQtime is now available as an integrated plugin to RAD Studio XE2, Delphi XE2, and C++Builder XE2, as well as a standalone tool supporting the XE2 compilers from Embarcadero. Most importantly, AQtime Pro 7.3 introduces support for Delphi 64 bit applications (this support is in Beta at the time of release of 7.3).
AQtime Standard for Embarcadero RAD Studio has also been updated to support XE2 and is included in the standard distributions of RAD Studio XE2, Delphi XE2, and C++Builder XE2. AQtime Standard supports only 32 bit applications at this point. Support for 64 bit applications is available only in AQtime Pro.
Additionally, the following enhancements are included in AQtime 7.3, alongside an healthy set of bugfixes:
- Allocation profiler improvements. A new call stack view is added to the Allocation profiler results display. Using the Classes Data result category, you can analyze call stack information for all allocated objects of a given class. When you choose a specific class in the Report panel, the Call Graph and Call Tree panels display the sequence of function calls that led to creation of instances of the selected class. By collapsing similar allocation stacks for multiple instances of a single class, we are able to provide a much more compact set of results and simplify memory debugging with AQtime. For more information see Viewing Call Stacks.
- Light Coverage profiler enhancements. The Light Coverage profiler has been significantly improved to offer:
- Better runtime performance
- Better capacity, particularly for processing large result sets
- Better performance when merging multiple data files with profiling results
- Profiling of .NET applications has been improved. Specifically, AQtime 7.30 fixes an error when earlier versions of AQtime could fail to start profiling a .NET application and reported the error "Not enough storage is available to process this command."
Customers on maintenance can get the update to AQtime 7.3 for free through their Client Services Portal account. The license holders who are off maintenance should contact our sales team for an upgrade quote.
Here is to more efficient profiling!

Union Appeals A-Rod's Suspension
Posted By Blake Bass On August 8, 2013 @ 8:21 AM In MLB | No Comments
[1]CHICAGO (AP) — The Major League Baseball Players Association has formally appealed Alex Rodriguez's 211-game suspension. He was suspended through the 2014 season on Monday when the league penalized 13 players following an investigation into Biogenesis of America, a shuttered Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.
The other 12 players accepted 50-game suspensions, but Rodriguez said he planned to fight. Union head Michael Weiner (WEE'-nur) said the punishment for the third baseman was "way out of line."
Rodriguez is allowed to keep playing until Wednesday's grievance is heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who isn't expected to rule until November or December at the earliest.

James Kochalka Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Comics A.M. | Reflecting on the loss of a comics collection
Crime | Artist and collector Jim Wheelock talks about the loss of his comics collection, which was stolen from a storage unit in Brattleboro, Vermont: "I remember where I was and what I was doing when I bought or read many of [the comic books]. Later, when I worked in the financially rickety world of a freelance artist, knowing the books were in Vermont gave me a sense of security, a retirement nest egg. This is what the culprit robbed me of." Vermont-based cartoonists James Kochalka and Harry Bliss weigh in on what such a loss would mean. Wheelock's thousands of comics included extensive runs of The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil and The Fantastic Four, in some cases beginning from the first issues. [Seven Days]
A look behind the scenes of MICE with organizer Dan Mazur
MICE, the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, is small but mighty. On Saturday and Sunday, the show will take over the second floor of Lesley University's University Hall, better known to locals as the Porter Exchange. Admission is free, and the roster includes a mix of local creators, aspiring artists just out of school, and some big names, including special guests James Kochalka, Emily Carroll, Raina Telgemeier, Dave Roman and Box Brown.
We talked with one of the organizers, Dan Mazur (a comics creator and publisher in his own right), about the challenges of running a small indie-comics show in general and the unique qualities of MICE in particular.
Brigid Alverson: What is the focus of MICE, and how is it different from other comics festivals?
Dan Mazur: MICE is an independent/alternative comics show, in the vein of larger shows like SPX, MoCCA Fest and APE, and others like TECAF, CAKE, MECAF. … So it differs from the mainstream comic cons for its lack of superheroes, cosplay, etc., and for the preponderance of minicomics. But for those familiar with the alternative scene, I guess we do have more of a focus (though not exclusive) on a local comics scene, and also on kid-friendly material and activities, to a degree.
Comics A.M. | Examining implications of Amazon-comiXology deal
Digital comics | Jeff Gomez examines the implications of Amazon's planned acquisition of comiXology, opining that it will give comics a wider reach but also force publishers of superhero fare to broaden their appeal beyond the core demographic: "The books will now be exposed to millions of newcomers, so it will behoove major publishers to make their stories more female-friendly, streamlined, and accessible. With comiXology's new aim to make 'every person on the planet a comics fan,' publishers will need to consider new genres, greater variety, and more varied age groups." [Business Insider]
Digital comics | ComiXology will continue to offer its Digital Storefronts for retailers, and it will not allow Amazon to target users of its Pull List service with its own offers, according to spokesman Chip Mosher. Also, no changes are planned to comiXology's other retailer tools. [ICv2]
Comics A.M. | Man charged in robbery of comic store employee
Crime | Police in St. Charles, Missouri, have arrested 24-year-old Adam Radigan and charged him in the Monday-morning robbery of a comic store employee. The robbery occurred in the parking lot as the employee walked out of the Fantasy Shop with a bank bag that contained $26 in coins. The suspect allegedly indicated he had a gun and demanded the bag; after the employee handed it over, fled on foot. Nearby schools were briefly locked down after the incident. [The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, KDSK]
Comics | "Seattle and the Northwest have carved a lasting niche in the comics world by applying the same traits to cartoons that we apply to music — lo-fi, provocative and introspective. Our comics are often funny as in peculiar, not necessarily funny as in laugh-out-loud, our heroes bumbling rather than swashbuckling": Tyrone Beason looks at Seattle's thriving alt-comics scene, and talks with Peter Bagge, Ellen Forney, Tom Van Deusen and the organizers of the Short Run Comix and Arts Festival. [The Seattle Times]
Ed Koren named as Vermont's second cartoonist laureate
Edward Koren, well known for his cartoons, covers and illustrations for The New Yorker, will be honored Feb. 27 as Vermont's second cartoonist laureate. Burlington resident James Kochalka was the first.
A New York City native, Koren lives with his family in Brookfield, Vermont, where he has served as a volunteer firefighter for 24 years. Beyond his more than 1,000 cartoons for The New Yorker, he has contributed to such publications as The New York Times, Vanity Fair, GQ, The Nation and Esquire. Koren has also illustrated numerous books.
"The great imaginative artists, comic or seriocomic (what other kinds are there?), are great at least in part because they create a world: Baldwin's Harlem, Faulkner's hamlet, Chekhov's dachas," The New Yorker Editor David Remnick said in a statement. "Ed Koren not only created a world — the Koren worlds are both urban and Vermontian, but all Koren — he also created creatures, part human, part fantastical, to represent and give voice to all of our anxieties, joys, and craziness. Long live Ed Koren, his world and his creatures!"
Following his recognition Feb. 27 on the floor of the State House, Koren will begin his three-year term with a public lecture at The Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction. Vermont is the only state that appoints a cartoonist laureate.
It's the final days of Top Shelf's massive sale
If you love the unique books that Top Shelf publishes, Friday is the last day to take advantage of its once-a-year massive $3 sale. The sale is great for two reasons, you can acquire many of Top Shelf's new offerings at a 50 percent discount — while also helping the independent publisher to "raise funds to 'kick start' a full rollout for next year."
Some of the Top Shelf offerings to consider in the 50 percent debut category, include:
- March (Book One) by Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell (which Chris Mautner reviewed in August)
- A Matter of Life by Jeffrey Brown (which I interviewed him about in July)
- God is Disappointed in You by Mark Russell and Shannon Wheeler (the authors also chatted with me in July about it)
There are other books to be had at even less than 50 percent, of course, including:
A few words about every story in 'Alternative Comics' #4
Alternative Comics, the publisher of alternative comics, is back in business, with two big releases of note this month: Failure, a collection of Karl Stevens' remarkably illustrated comic strips from the Boston Phoenix, and Alternative Comics #4, the latest installment of its showcase anthology (the first three issues were released as Free Comic Book Day giveaways, with the third issue shipping way back in 2005).
The new iteration isn't free (in fact, it's a $5.99, 48-page book), and it's not coming out on Free Comic Book Day, but it is bigger, newer and perhaps even improved. To find that out, we'll have to take a closer look at this book, edited by Marc Arsenault and featuring a lovely cover by Mike Bertino.
Here then, are a few words about every single story in Alternative Comics #4:
"Talent Goes In" by Sam Alden
This is a four-panel, inside-front-cover strip by Alden, which amounts to little more than a picture poem. It's not terribly profound or even substantial but that's okay, it's only the inside front cover. Alden has a better strip later in the book.
Alternative Comics catalog debuts on comiXology
When comics entrepreneur Marc Arsenault announced almost a year ago that he had bought defunct Alternative Comics in order to relaunch the publisher, a lot of fans (me included) were thrilled. Under founder Jeff Mason, Alternative introduced readers to creators like Graham Annable, Brandon Graham, James Kochalka, Ed Brubaker, Scott Campbell (of Great Movie Showdowns fame), Dean Haspiel and Josh Neufeld. So with Alternative and comiXology announcing today that the publisher's catalog is becoming available digitally on the app, I was eager to talk to Arsenault about their plans.
Michael May: For those who don't know you, what's your background in comics?
Marc Arsenault: Wow. Where to begin? I've been a pretty behind-the-scenes guy for most of my time in comics, but this year I've hit the quarter century mark for working in them.
I figured out that I wanted to make comics somewhere around eighth grade when I discovered RAW, Warrior and Heavy Metal. When I found out about the comics program at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) my path was clear. I didn't even apply to any other schools. I got to study with Harvey Kurtzman, Will Eisner, Joe Orlando, David Sandlin, Jerry Moriarity, Marshall Arisman and the very influential Jack Potter.
That experience was very relevant to Alternative Comics' past and present because it was there that I met Sam Henderson and Tom Hart. I shared a studio space with Tom, and he and Sam had started an off-campus comics anthology called Tuna Casserole. By the fifth issue I became co-editor and we founded the first incarnation of my company Wow Cool. I ended up becoming an illustrator instead of a cartoonist, and did that freelance on and off up until about a decade ago.
Box Brown launches the next season of Retrofit Comics
While the whole rest of the world, it seems, is experimenting with digital comics, Box Brown has been going the opposite direction, publishing indie print comics through his own Retrofit Comics. I talked to him when he was launching the first season of Retrofit Comics, in fall 2011, and now that he's back for a second round, I thought it would be a good time to ask him what he learned from the first iteration and what he will be doing differently this time.
Robot 6: What did you learn from your first year as the publisher of Retrofit Comics?
Box Brown: I think I spread myself too thin. I released 17 comics in about 18 months while working on a graphic novel of my own and I was working too hard. I wasn't able to give each release the attention it deserved. Also, I learned a lot about "seasons" in the retail world. Stuff slows down a lot in the Summer. And, I think I also learned that people actually wanted a comic from Box Brown the cartoonist as well. Publishing your own work until a brand like this is kind of a weird feeling. I think I was uncomfortable with it for a while, but I've learned to say "fuck it"
Comics A.M. | Siegel & Shuster heirs fight DC's interference claim
Legal | In the aftermath of last month's ruling that DC Comics retains full rights to Superman, the heirs of creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster are urging federal judge to dismiss claims that their lawyer interfered with the publisher's copyright to the character. DC sued attorney Marc Toberoff in May 2010, accusing him impeding a 1992 copyright agreement with the heirs by striking overriding deals with them in 2001 and 2003. The families insist the publisher filed its claims two years too late, as the statute of limitations expired in 2008. [Law360]
Webcomics | Malicious hackers hit the Blind Ferret servers last week, and they didn't just wipe out the websites that host Least I Could Do, Girls with Slingshots and other high-profile webcomics — they also wiped out the backups. Gary Tyrell has the story and advises creators to have multiple backups in multiple locations. [Fleen]
Kochalka fans pay tribute to American Elf
On Dec. 31, James Kochalka ended his 14-year run on his diary comic American Elf, but others have taken up the baton, at least temporarily: A number of webcomics artists have created homages to the strip, and Kochalka is re-posting them on his Tumblr.
They include comics more or less in the style of American Elf by Lewis Trondheim, Superf*ckers director Fran Krause and a host of others, expressing a range of emotions from grief to gratitude. Also included in the tributes is a giant picture of every American Elf strip and another that averages the 14 years' worth of the strips to produce an "eigencomic."
It's really interesting to look through them and see how a single (albeit long) comic inspired such a range of responses — and how much people seem to enjoy drawing themselves in Kochalka's unmistakable style. And, as Kochalka remarks on one of the posts, "Quitting American Elf has kind of been like being able to die and go to my own wake!"
Jason says goodbye to American Elf
The Norwegian creator Jason pays tribute to the last day of James Kochalka's American Elf in the sincerest way possible.
Never fear, Kochalkaholics: James is busily making other comics, and Top Shelf is prepping the fifth volume of American Elf for its digital release.
Comics A.M. | Cartoonist Richard Thompson's long journey
Creators | Michael Cavna talks to cartoonist Richard Thompson in-depth about his Parkinson's disease, its effect on his cartooning, and the brain surgery he had this year to combat it, and shows the cartoon Thompson drew during the surgery. The story includes an update on how Thompson has been doing since the surgery and interviews with other cartoonists, including a rare comment from Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson, about Thompson's work and his struggle against the illness. [Comic Riffs]
Publishing | The French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, whose offices were firebombed in 2011 after it published cartoons mocking Mohammed, has released a comic-book biography of the Muslim prophet. Editor Stephane Charbonnier, who has lived under police protection since the magazine first published the cartoons, says the biography is a properly researched educational work edited by Muslims: "I don't think higher Muslim minds could find anything inappropriate." [AFP]
Robot 6 Q&A | James Kochalka on the end of American Elf
After 14 years, and more than 3,500 cartoons, James Kochalka is bringing his diary comic American Elf to an end. Since October 1998, Kochalka has been chronicling small slices of his daily life in short comics, seldom longer than four panels, and if you read the comic, you already know he has mixed feelings about ending it.
Of course, Kochalka has plenty still going on, including the animated version of his comic SuperF*ckers, plus teaching at the Center for Cartoon Studies, playing rock music and being the Cartoonist Laureate of Vermont. He's going to keep the American Elf site live, and of course, you can get the collected editions from Top Shelf (and digitally via comiXology).
Keeping a diary comic for 14 years is a singular achievement, so we asked Kochalka to talk a bit about the experience of creating — and living — American Elf.
SuperF*ckers now available to watch and wear
SuperF*ckers made its animated debut today on the Cartoon Hangover site. Based on the comics by James Kochalka published several years ago by Top Shelf, it features, as Kevin noted earlier this week, "teen superheroes doing, and saying, bad and occasionally disgusting things." And some very funny things.
A censored version of the first episode can be found below, and you can watch the uncensored version on YouTube. Neither one of them are really safe for work, though, so put your headphones on before watching.
In addition, once you've enjoyed the cartoon, you can buy the merch … WeLoveFine has a whole Cartoon Hangover section on their site now, featuring the SuperF*cker characters, and to celebrate the show's premiere, the above shirt featuring Ultra Richard is their deal of the day. They've also got one featuring Jack Krak that's tied to the first episode. You can find images of some of them below.

homeschool momTexas5 Stars Out Of 5ExcellentOctober 17, 2013homeschool momTexasQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This was an excellent course for preparing my son for university.
home schooling momGender: female1 Stars Out Of 5disappointingMay 6, 2013home schooling momGender: femaleI have always LOVED chemistry and could not wait to teach it. I have taken lots chemistry classes, including in college, and have tutored many high school and college students in chemistry. I have never had a chemistry book I did not like. I really dislike this one!!! I am so sad we wasted a year with it! I kept thinking it would get better. We have always used Apologia and expected it to be good. I bought additional dvd's entitled The Chemistry Tutor (not from apologia) which helped. The dvd's taught chemistry the way I am used to but I wish I would have started over with another book. Apologia teaches the concepts in a backwards order. In fact I had to start with volume 2 on the dvd's and work back to volume 1. The book often says how hard or confusing the concept they are trying to teach is, and then goes on to make it hard and confusing. If the book says it is confusing the student will be confused! Sometimes the author suggests you consult a different book if you are confused. When we watched the dvd on the same topic, the teacher would say, "this is very easy" and then make it easy to understand. It seemed to me that the author doesn't like chemistry. Some people are good at the life sciences and not the math based science. It seems like Apologia's strength is not the math based science. Chemistry can be so fun and easy when taught correctly. My son was able to get good scores on the tests but we never felt like we were getting a good understanding of what the book was trying to teach. They made it much harder than it should have been. Sadly he doesn't like chemistry now and even I did not enjoy this year of chemistry (so sad). Apologia can and should do better. Home school moms need to look for better chemistry courses and not just accept this one because Apologia's other courses are good.
Lynn Hand4 Stars Out Of 5Foundational.July 18, 2012Lynn HandQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4If you want to learn chemistry from the foundations up, this course is ideal. It is exacting but after completing it, your student will no longer fear the calculations involved in chemistry. I completed chemistry to university entrance level but never understood it so well as after using this course to teach my son. It does not have the breadth required to sit an exam in the UK system, which is why I only give it four stars, but it certainly has depth.
AnnKJRossville, INAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent CourseJuly 24, 2011AnnKJRossville, INAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I (Mom) am currently enrolled in an R.N. program at our community college. I had to take Chem 101 as a pre-req for admission into the nursing program. One year later my 10th grade daughter did this Apologia course. It was almost identical to the one I took in college. Had I taken this course at home I would have breezed through my college course (we can't test out of pre-reqs or I would have easily been able to-had I done this course.) I highly recommend it! Excellent college prep course!
I noticed one of the other reviewers said they skipped the math. I would not advise doing that. Math is a huge part of Chemistry and, if your student wants to go to college, you will be doing him/her a huge disservice if you skip this part of the curriculum! -

Camp Soni Springs was purchased by the Northern Indiana Girl Scout Council
in 1959 and is located in Berrien County approximately four miles southwest of Three Oaks MI. The name Soni is an acronym for Scouts of Northern Indiana, the Girl Scout council that founded the camp. Camp Soni Springs has 156 acres including 72 acres of open land and 84 wooded acres. A branch of the Little Galien River runs through the camp. A small artificially made lake, Lake Mary, on the property is perfect for swimming and small craft, especially for younger girls as it is well protected from wind. One unique feature of the camp is the small island, called Skippers Island with a Tree House that overlooks the lake. In 2009, Soni was idled as Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana initiated plans to study all properties owned by the newly merged council. In 2010, the decision was made to retain this property as a day and troop camp for the girls and volunteers on the western edge of the council. Plans are currently underway to rejuvenate and reopen this beautiful property.
Because Camp Soni Springs is in the State of Michigan, some Girl Scout groups must follow special rules with they go to camp there. To find out if your GSNI-M group must follow these rules, ask yourself this question, "Will there be any girls in attendance without their parent or guardian?". If the answer is no, you should just follow regular GSNI-M policies and procedures. If the answer is Yes, then you need to follow the Camp Soni Springs policies and procedure. The first thing you need to know is you need one person with your group who is an "Approved Camp Soni Springs Director". If you'd like to become one, please watch the training schedule for the next training. Approved Camp Soni Springs Directors, please click here for the current Camp Soni Springs Director files.
To learn more about specialized activities available at GSNI-M properties, view the FAQ and download the specialized activities form.
At Camp Soni Springs, a multi-purpose building will be constructed to serve as the hub for camp operations as well as being a resource for the volunteers and girls on the west side of our council. Conceptual programming for this building has it including a large general purpose room (100 people) that will be directly connected to a covered pavilion for another 100 people. The building will also include a small commercial kitchen, trading post, health center, an office/admin area and will serve as a storm shelter for Soni. Sleeping accommodations will be mattress sleeping on the floor for girls and adult volunteers. A conceptual floor plan and elevation of the proposed building is below.
Since we are at the very beginning of the planning process for this building, we would love input from volunteers, especially those that are familiar with Soni Springs. All suggestions and recommendations should be sent directly to firstname.lastname@example.com. Chris is the Director of Properties and Information Technology and will be responsible for the overall management of this project. We are very excited about this project and plan to create a place on our website to display pictures of the construction as it is taking place.

I think Elizabeth Warren will make a great senator. Of course it will be nice to see Scott Brown lose, but mostly I'm looking forward to having someone in the senate who will put the fear of God into Wall Street. After 2007-2008, the whole financial industry ought to have been put under a microscope. Instead, they've somehow managed to emerge pretty much unaffected by it all.
Consider donating to Elizabeth Warren's senate campaign today. It only takes a moment, and you can simultaneously annoy Ned Flanders, the GOP, and Wall Street. What's not to like?

With this fact in mind, you know you require to replace the kitchen and wardrobe doors when they are physically damaged thus making them ineffective. Wardrobe doors which are opened and closed every time you require to get a fabric or shoe can quickly damage their hinges. A hinge is fitting equipment which flexibly connects a door to the frame of the wardrobe or kitchen.
Another way of knowing you need to alter a kitchen cupboard doors and wardrobe door is when they noticeably look scratched or discolored. Although painting may be a perfect option for this, scratches can be consistent thus warranting a modification. It is important to note that there are various other valid reasons which could prompt a door change besides the two outlined ones; at times the nature of your home provides its very own special explanations to alter kitchen and wardrobe doors.
