Blackpool Breaks
Living it up in Blackpool!
Affectionately known as the 'Las Vegas of the North', Blackpool has it all. Take a seaside break with Best Western and find out for yourself why Blackpool has been and continues to be a favourite amongst generations of families.
Blackpool is recommended because of:
- The Pleasure Beach
- Blackpool Zoo
- Blackpool Tower and circus
- Its Three Piers
A coastal hotel break with Best Western welcomes the thrill seeker and the 'not so brave', you'll find this resort more than satisfies any adrenaline junkie. However Blackpool is much more than kiss me quick hats, donkey rides and white knuckle rides!
So what is there to do in and around Blackpool?
Traditional deckchairs, seaside rock and ice creams live in harmony with the modern bright neon illuminations - so Blackpool truly does have something for everyone.
Visit the Pleasure Beach for the tallest roller-coaster in the UK, ride the Valhalla – if you dare!.
Walk the golden mile, visit each of Blackpool's amazing three piers or take a trip to the Sandcastle - Blackpools premier indoor leisure facility.
Blackpool Zoo is a must see while you are here, with over 1,500 animals to see, it really is a great family day out.
Take a trip to the 150m Tower and Circus, home of the world famous Tower ballroom, or simply take a trip to the top and take in the fabulous panoramic views across the Irish Sea and Lancashire.
Fancy travelling a little further afield?
Ribble Steam Railway Museum is a fun packed family day out in the heart of Lancashire. A visit here will not only give you the opportunity to travel along the 1½ mile dock and riverside line, but also access their newly built museum and workshop.
The Martin Mere Wetland Centre is home to over 100 species of rare and endangered swans, ducks, flamingos, geese and beavers – a truly fascinating day out for all the family.
The National Football Museum at Preston – whether you're a supporter of the Tangerines, Blues, Reds, United, City or Town, discover the best football museum in the world at Preston – see the actual ball used in the 1966 World Cup Final or a shirt from the worlds first international game, plus much more football memorabilia.

Just Right for the Northwest
As one of the first membership discount stores we've been serving Membership Families in the Northwest since 1955. Today, we continue our mission to bring you quality name brand products at everyday low prices.
is employee owned and operated by the people who live right next door, so it makes sense that we are closely involved with the community we serve. We are proud to support local charitable organizations, educational programs and sporting events.
From all of us at
we welcome you to our Membership Family.
We're one of the pioneers of membership, discount shopping in the Northwest. Our stores offer maximum savings and selection on the things you need and use every day. Being a membership store means that our customers "join"
or must be a guest of a member before shopping with us. A nominal one-time fee, still just $5, buys a membership card good for a lifetime and covers all family members living at home. Members show their card to enter one of our stores.
is a great fit for our members- being a friendly, comfortable place to shop that's not too big and not too small. With
easy parking and low, every day prices, you don't need to shop at a store that's huge, crowded or expensive. And, you don't need to buy a 6-month's supply to enjoy the savings.
is stocked with over 40,000 items that are specially chosen for your Northwest lifestyle and pocketbook. We take a "deep discount" approach to merchandising brand name goods, striving to offer a wide selection of top quality merchandise at low everyday prices. Each store deals mainly in hard goods in departments such as pharmacy, photo/sound, housewares, sporting goods, automotive, hardware, health & beauty, toys, clothing/shoes, beer/food/wine and more.
Even as we've grown over the years, we continue to keep our stores simple, bringing costs down and boosting savings for our members. It's a delicate balance– enough comfort, enough selection in stores that aren't too massive or too difficult to shop in. Members find Bi-Mart a friendly, comfortable store where they can save money and easily find what they're looking for- our floor plans are similar from store to store so no matter where a member shops, they feel at home.
We look forward to serving you at any of our
locations. With low, everyday prices, a name brand selection of merchandise for the Northwest and friendly service- we're Just Right for the Northwest. We hope you'll shop with us soon.
A History of Saving You Money
We've been bringing our members low prices for over 50 years. Bi-Mart was founded by a group of individuals who felt that the average working person deserved a better value for their hard earned dollars. At that time Fair Trade laws stated that merchandise had to be sold at or above the manufacturer's suggested retail price. How could we obey the law and still give customers a value? A membership concept proved to be the answer. By becoming members of
, our customers could purchase merchandise at a discounted price.
In 1955, we opened our first store in Yakima, Washington, in the garage of one of the original founders. Open only a few hours a week at first, business continued to grow until the store moved to its present location on 5th Avenue.
In 1962,
opened its second store at 18th & Chambers in Eugene, Oregon and shortly thereafter moved the corporate headquarters and distribution center to Eugene as well. Eugene continues to serve as our headquarters today.
Since that time we've steadily opened stores throughout the Northwest. Today, we've grown to
stores in Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
: A Community Partner
We consider ourselves part of the communities we serve. As a community member,
donates to charitable organizations such as United Way, Red Cross, and the College Scholarship Fund and sponsors educational programs, cancer screenings, safety and health awareness programs, community, college and semipro sporting events, and many other community events throughout the Northwest. We're proud to be able to support all these worthwhile organizations and clubs, and give back to our communities, members, and their families that have given so much to us.
In addition,
employees are active in their communities... they serve as team coaches, United Way fund drive volunteers, they support area churches, scout troops, and local theaters. They participate in events that benefit charities. They donate their time, money, and enthusiasm to their children's schools, teams, and clubs. They participate in the Big Brother and Big Sister Programs. They help clean up their neighborhood playgrounds and area beaches. All in all,
employees are a group of proud and involved citizens.
We're Here to Serve You
We employ over 3000 employee/owners throughout the
chain of
stores, and pride ourselves on a quality workforce as well as our contribution to local economies.
employees participate in extensive customer service training. They pride themselves on their product knowledge and do their best to give advice and suggestions. At
we know that you have a choice where to shop. Our goal is to prove that Bi-Mart is the right place for you to fulfill your shopping needs.
What Does It Mean To Be Employee Owned?
In 2004,

Soham bhavo namaskarah.The feeling of I am That - So-aham - is the salutation.
Existence is one, or, rather, existence is oneness. Al-Hillaj Mansoor was crucified because he said, "I am the beloved, I am the divine, I am That which created the world." Islam was totally unacquainted with this type of language. This language is basically Hindu. Wherever man has contemplated, man has come to duality: God, the creator, and the world, the created. Hinduism has taken the boldest jump by saying that the created is the creator and there is no basic difference.
To Islam, or to other dualistic thinkings, this looks like sacrilege. If there is no difference between God and the world, between man and God, then for dualistic thinkers it appears there is no possibility of religion, no possibility of worship, no possibility of salutation. If you are divine, then whom are you going to worship? If you are the creator, then who is superior to you? Worship becomes impossible.
But this sutra says this is the only worship, this is the only salutation:
The feeling of I am That - So-aham - is the salutation.
Ordinarily, this sutra is absurd, contradictory - because if there is no higher power than you, if you are the highest, then whom are you going to salute? To whom are you going to pay your respects? This is the reason Mansoor was murdered, killed and crucified. This is heresy! He was thought to be a heretic, a nastik, an atheist. If you say you are God, you deny godhood. Then you are the supreme.
For a dualistic way of thinking, this is egoistic. The division must be maintained. You must come nearer and nearer, but you must not become the flame itself. You must become intimate with the divine source, but you must not become one with it. Then respect is possible, worship is possible.
So you can reach to the divine feet, but you cannot become one with the divine flame. How can the creature become the creator? And if the creature becomes the creator, that means the creature was not a creature at all. And if the created becomes the creator, that means there is no creator.
This is one type of religious thinking, the dualistic type. It has its own reasoning and it appeals to our ordinary minds. So, really, even those who are born Hindus are not Hindus unless they can come to conceive the attitude of being one with the creator. One may be born a Hindu, but there is no basic difference between the Hindu, the Mohammedan and the Christian attitude: the actual attitude - the attitude we live and the attitude we behave by.

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient, protective antioxidant, liver anti-toxin, prostaglandin regulator. It supports circulation and revitalizes aging immunity. Recent research points to the benefits of vitamin E, leading to a breakthrough in the acceptance of its clinical utility and the understanding of its biochemistry. True E in the form of d-alpha-tocopherol, is a single nutrient entity that the body specifically concentrates in the liver and subsequently transports to the other organs.Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement take 1 to 2 softgels daily with meals (2 softgels for individuals over 65 years), or as directed by a physician.
Supplement Facts Ultra True E Each softgel contains: | ||
Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) | 400 IU | 1333% |
Other ingredients: None.
Ultra True E is free of filler oils. It is made from pure soy oil. The soy protein has been removed to protect from allergic reactions.

In the iPhone world, adding a social gaming system such as OpenFeint can be a real game-changer. Add in some new content as well and you have what feels like a fresh new game. Stair Dismount does all this, and while there are still some kinks that need to be worked out, we had a much more enjoyable experience this time around.
The most important addition is the integration of OpenFeint, bringing online leaderboards. Some of the scores we have seen at the top of the ranks have been awe-inspiring, and we have spent some time trying to figure out new ways to attempt these feats.
The latest update also brings three new levels. Mt. Dismount is a diamond-shaped array of boxes that tower up on a slant. The Ledge is best described as a ridiculously high framework for a tower, with beams all along the inside.
Our favorite was Loose Bindings, where you start by wearing skiis. After pushing the ragdoll, they fly out behind him. If timed right, you can get them to hit him in midair. Suffice to say, it's a lot of fun.
Stair Dismount isn't quite perfect yet, with a lingering level end bug that occasionally ends the round while the ragdoll is still in motion and the continued lack of user-created content, but we now feel safe to say that this is the superior ragdoll physics game.
Stair Dismount recently received an update that made the game a universal binary so it can play natively on the iPad as well as the iPhone. The new higher resolution version is virtually the same game on the larger screen, but for some reason it seems to under-perform with a chugging framerate. Other changes include a better camera and a name change to Stair Dismount Universal. Since it doesn't run well on the iPad, we recommend owners of the larger device hold off for now or at least give the also-universal lite version a shot first. For iPhone owners, its still a solid purchase.
Stair Dismount is exactly what the title suggests: you send a ragdoll flying down a set of stairs, gaining points proportional to how much damage you inflict. As satisfying as this can be in small bursts, the fun of harming inanimate objects only lasts so long due to a lack of levels and incentive to do better.
Calling Stair Dismount a 'game' is a bit of a misrepresentation. While there is scoring, this is more of a novelty physics toy aimed toward a niche audience. The gameplay boils down to choosing where you want to hit the ragdoll, pressing the dismount button when the moving power bar is where you want it, and watching your ragdoll smash its way to the ground to satisfy your lust for points.
Watch that first step: it's a doozy.
This satisfaction is taken a step further through the ability to attach a picture of your friend's (or boss's) face to the head of the ragdoll. Pictures from your personal library or Facebook can be used. Face-mapping would have brought this a step further, though.
The realistic ragdoll physics engine that Stair Dismount is built on is easily its best selling point. Everything from friction to the velocity at which you push the ragdoll makes each fall a little differently while still being predictable. Secret Exit obviously spent a lot of time on this aspect of the game, and it really pays off.
Beyond this, the game is filled with shortcomings. There are a mere six stairways to push your ragdoll down, and after spending about ten rounds on each, we felt we had seen everything there was to see. We'd love to see new content in the future, as well as a level editor of some sort since Stair Dismount feels like the perfect app for this.
The handy sidebar shows you which bones you've broken.
Replay value is hindered without online scoring. You can go back to any level and try to top your own score, but this quickly got old.
Also important to note is a bug that occurs when your ragdoll slows down enough to trigger the end-of-round countdown. Even if the ragdoll slides off an edge and begins to drop at high speeds again, any damage taken won't count since the round already ended. This occurs often enough to be a hindrance.
Unless you fit into the niche audience that Stair Dismount is aimed toward, you can skip this one, especially for $2.99. We hope future updates enhance what could be an enjoyable pastime.

Try this out and measure the voltage generated by the homebrew battery.
Hint: Nothing like enough to charge a 12V battery.
Also, the chances of recieving a dangerous shock from a 12V car battery, or the homebrew battery described here is NIL.
This solution should have been given the "wishful thinking" award.

I lived, but I got a pretty good shock
You must be logged in to reply.
This is a 100% true story that occurred while I was helping a friend transplant a Chevy small block V8 into a Pontiac Firebird.
When installing a new or rebuilt engine, it is generally a very good idea to run the oil pump sufficiently to fully distribute oil throughout the engine before attempting to crank the engine. On the Chevy small block V8, the oil pump is actuated mechanically by a shaft driven from the cam shaft and which also drives the distributor. In order the prime the engine with oil, one finds an old distributor shaft, grinds off the splines that would normally mate with the cam, and then spin the shaft with a power drill until oil starts to pump through the ports in the head that lubricate the valves.
So I'm standing in the engine compartment holding a power drill running the oil pump. One foot is next to the battery and the other foot is on the shock tower on the other sideof the engine. I'm wearing sandals. I'm sweating. I have some small cuts and scratches on my feets. My foot slips and now I'm making direct contact with the battery's positive terminal. I got a decent jolt.Posted by RevMike on June 25, 2005 at 22:25:03 Pacific Time

Phloem loading in the sucrose-export-defective (SXD-1) mutant maize is limited by callose deposition at plasmodesmata in bundle sheath—vascular parenchyma interface

Get AccessSummary
Using Lucifer Yellow we have demonstrated that the phloem-loading pathway from the mesophyll to the bundle sheath—vascular parenchyma interface inZea mays source leaves follows a symplasmic route in small and intermediate vascular bundles in control as well as in the green sections of mutant sucrose-export-defective (SXD-1) plants. In the anthocyanin-rich mutant leaf sections, Lucifer Yellow transport was prohibited along the same path, at the bundle sheath—vascular parenchyma interface in particular. Plasmodesmata at the latter interface in SXD-1 anthocyanin-rich leaf sections appear to be structurally altered through callose deposition at the plasmodesmal orifices. We suggest that a transport bottleneck at the bundle sheath—vascular parenchyma interface is thus orchestrated and regulated through callose formation, preventing symplasmic transport across this important loading interface.

April 3, 2012
The MetroWest Health Foundation today announced the recipients of the 2012 Deborah Blumer Community Health Leadership Award.
This year's Foundation awards committee unanimously chose two recipients – Fran Bakstran and Edna Smith. Both exemplify former State Rep. Blumer's passion for health care, her tireless advocacy for the underprivileged and deep concern for the community where she lived and worked.
"Our awards committee had a difficult time choosing among the many outstanding individuals nominated for this award by members of the community," said Martin Cohen, president of the Foundation. "In the end, our two honorees were chosen for their efforts to bring health care to so many needy individuals and families in the MetroWest area."
Smith is the Chair of the Community Health Network Area 7 which works to increase collaboration between agencies to improve the health of disadvantaged residents in a 22-town area. She is a devoted member of the Greater Framingham Community Church where she worked to expand the church's health ministry. She has been a relentless advocate for reducing health disparities among minorities and improving equal access to care. Smith is a former Chair of the Foundation's Board of Trustees and current chair of the MetroWest Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities Workgroup. She is a registered nurse who lives in Ashland.
Bakstran is the Health Access Coordinator at MetroWest Legal Services in Framingham, Mass. where she's been for 10 years. She has worked as a legal advocate for thousands of MetroWest residents and has assisted more than 5,000 individuals and families obtain and maintain insurance coverage through MassHealth and Commonwealth Care Health Insurance. She is a resident of Northborough.
Each year since 2001 the Foundation has recognized an individual or organization that has demonstrated leadership in improving health and/or health care in the region by either mobilizing individuals, resources and organizations to confront an important community health issue, developing new services and supports to improve the health of vulnerable populations or raising the level of awareness of an important health issue in the MetroWest area.
Past recipients include: Diane Gould, executive vice president of Advocates, Inc. in Framingham, Mass.; the late Dr. Stanley Sabin medical director of the MetroWest Free Medical Clinic in Framingham and the Natick Visiting Nurse Association in Natick, Mass. and the late Nancy King of MetroWest Legal Services in Framingham.

So sad. Justin took to Twitter to pay respect to his beloved 'wifey.' Read on for ALL the details.
Justin Bieber made Avalanna Routh's dreams come true when he "married" her — and now, he's taken to Twitter to voice his sadness on the death of one of the "greatest spirits" he's known.
"Just got the worst news ever. One of the greatest spirits i have ever known is gone. Please pray for her family and for her," Justin tweeted on September 26. "RIP Avalanna. I love you."
Justin's BFF Alfredo Flores also tweeted about the devastating news.
"God must have wanted his little angel before we were ready to let her go. RIP Avalanna. Love you so much," Alfredo said on Twitter.
Avalanna first grabbed Justin's attention after hospital workers organized a wedding for Avalanna and a cut-out of Justin. Social media alerted the 18-year-old heartthrobe and eventually the two met, became friends and had a pretend wedding of their own. Justin often tweeted pics with her and they even did an interview on The Today Show together in June 2012.
Avalanna, 6, died of an atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor on September 26. Our thoughts are prayers are with her family.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you sad to hear about Avalanna's death?

This has got to be so tough on him, he really cared about her. I hope he knows that he has millions of people thinking of him and her family and praying that they can get through this. Poor Justin, even talking about the possibility was hard for him, I can't imagine how hard he's taking this, poor thing :( This is so sad. I hope, if anything, they can find comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering, but it's still heart breaking. My heart sincerely goes out to both him and her family. . .
And I have got to say, I REALLY hope that the paparazzi and the media in general have some respect this time. She was a little girl. They need to back off of him a little, he has got to be heart broken right now, don't make it worse and saying "What do you think, Hollywood Lifers: Are you sad to hear about Avalanna's death?" Are you kidding, of course we are, it's incredibly sad. . Have some dignity for once.
I don't think Justin has ever suffered a loss like this. His grandparents are here, his parents are here. I really think he needs time to heal, and pray with his mom. He deserves time to grieve also. I don't think he ever suffered this type of loss. We forget he just turned 18. He gave that child her last wish. She was so happy to be "MRS. BEIBER"! Rest in peace Mrs. Beiber!

VATICAN CITY - In a surprise choice, Argentine cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected Wednesday, March 13, as a new pope of the Roman Catholic Church to replace Benedict XVI.
"I announce to you a great joy. We have a pope," French cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran said in Latin words.
Bergoglio was named a pope after four inconclusive votes by 115 cardinals, who have been in isolation since Tuesday.Muslims Hope for John Paul-like Pope
Vatican Elects New Pope (Factbox)
Muslims Eye Better Ties With New Pope
US Muslims Praise Resigning Pope
Pope's Resignation Shocks WorldWe Have Our Pope⦠Who Do Muslims Have?
The new pontiff, 76, the first from South America, has taken the name Francis.
"I would like to thank you for your embrace, the new pope, dressed in white, said to wild cheers.
"You know that the work of the conclave is to give a bishop to Rome. It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him from the end of the earth. Thank you for the welcome."
Francis becomes the 266th pontiff in the Catholic Church's 2,000-year history at a time of great crisis and difficulty.
He replaces Benedict XVI, who resigned last month for poor health.
Although a conservative he is seen as a reformer and was not among the small group of frontrunners identified before the election.
He also went against one of the main assumptions before the election, that the new pope would be relatively young.
Francis is the oldest of most of the possible candidates and was barely mentioned in feverish speculation about the top contenders before the conclave.
The naming of Pope Francis came sooner than many experts expected because there were several frontrunners before the vote to replace Benedict.
The cardinals faced a thorny task in finding a leader capable of overcoming crises caused by priestly child abuse and a leak of secret papal documents that uncovered corruption and rivalry inside the Church government or Curia.
The wave of problems is thought to have contributed to Benedict's decision to become the first pontiff in 600 years to abdicate.
The selection of Pope Francis came as a surprise to many jubilant Catholics.
"I wasn't expecting it, but I'm absolutely delighted," John Mcginley, a Scottish priest from Glasgow who traveled to see the conclave, told Reuters.
"It's a very unique moment. There is a great sense of unity here.
"It's great they have come to a decision about who will lead the Church," he said.
Thousands of people sheltering from heavy rain under a sea of umbrellas had occupied the square all day to await the selection and the crowd swelled as soon as the white smoke emerged.
They cheered wildly and raced towards the basilica as the smoke billowed from a narrow makeshift chimney and St Peter's bells rang.
The excited crowd cheered even more loudly when Francis appeared, the first pontiff to take that name. "Viva il Papa (pope)" they chanted.
"It's a great moment in history, something I can tell my mum," said David Brasch, 30, from Brisbane, Australia.
"He's got to get the child abuse under control, I don't know how they're going to do that. He's got to unite 1.2 billion people."
The secret conclave began on Tuesday night with a first ballot and four ballots were held on Wednesday. Francis obtained the required two thirds majority in the fifth ballot.
Following a split ballot when they were first shut away amid the chapel's Renaissance splendor on Tuesday evening, the cardinal electors held a first full day of deliberations on Wednesday. Black smoke rose after the morning session to signal no decision.
The previous four popes were all elected within two or three days.
Seven ballots have been required on average over the last nine conclaves. Benedict was clear frontrunner in 2005 and elected after only four ballots.

Floatopia: South Beach Innertube Ocean Party Rescheduled UPDATED
Now, a new version of Eden is about to hit Miami in the guise of Floatopia, a giant gathering of buoyant partygoers.
On Saturday, September 8, adventurous souls will take to the waters of South Pointe Park on flotation devices far more interesting than your average airplane cushion.
Started in 2004 in Santa Barbara, California, Floatopia has been growing in popularity amongst fun-lovers nationwide. Basically, people in various cities gather en masse to float on rafts, home-made contraptions, and anything else that doesn't sink. Then the action concludes with a beach party.
One of the organizers for the Miami event told us she had the idea after experiencing a similar party in Virginia Beach over July 4th. "It's something fun and different. Miami has a lot of bouncers, clubs, etc., but nothing like this."
Via Floatopia Miami |
Attendees can bring anything they choose to float on, but the bigger, the better, as the larger floats can be strung together to create one giant party barge.
Via Floatopia Miami |
The party kicks off at 10 a.m. at South Pointe Park on Saturday, September 8. Interested partygoers can learn more about the event at the Floatopia Miami Facebook page.

Pull your head in, Conroy tells leadership agitators
PUBLISHED: 06 Oct 2011 08:03:36 | UPDATED: 07 Oct 2011 05:03:12PRINT EDITION: 06 Oct 2011
Pull your head in: that's Communications Minister Stephen Conroy's message for any Labor MPs agitating for a leadership change.
Former Labor powerbroker Graham Richardson used his self-titled television show on Wednesday to "out" former defence personnel minister Alan Griffin and West Australian senator Mark Bishop as being behind the push to reinstall former prime minister Kevin Rudd.
But Senator Conroy said he'd seen no evidence at all that either had been drumming up support for a challenge.
"Neither of those have phoned me, spoken to me or sent any messages to me at all along those lines," he told the Nine Network on Thursday morning.
"If they are involved then they should just pull their head in and get on with selling the (government's) message."
Nor had he seen any evidence there was widespread discussion in caucus about a leadership change.
"What you've got is a few squeaky noises, no different to what's going on in Tony Abbott's coalition party room at the moment."
He continued to strongly support Prime Minister Julia Gillard, saying she was "doing a great job in very tough circumstances".
Senator Conroy said Labor was staying focused on the country's economic challenges and implementing its reform program including the carbon price and mining super profits tax.
Workplace Relations Minister Chris Evans said neither Mr Griffin nor Senator Bishop had discussed with him an overthrow of Ms Gillard as prime minister.
"I've spoken to both of them in recent weeks and neither of them have not raised it with me," he told ABC Radio on Thursday.

There are newspapers in the Middle East that that are reporting that The Rock will be filming a new movie in March 2013 in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. The rumored film is a $90 million remake of Arabian Nights, which would also star Anthony Hopkins and Zac Efron.
Rock is also scheduled to shoot Hercules in early 2013, and if he is also working on Arabian Nights, his participation in the build to WrestleMania 29 could be less than originally planned.

The program involves three components:
1) The curriculum is composed of 31 highly interactive sessions. These sessions are divided into eight topical units. Each session is activity-based and relevant to the lives of young people. Interactive teaching strategies build on the strengths of the young people, and they learn from each other's experiences and insights.
2) Community resource people are involved in every lesson. They are people in the community with whom youth do not normally interact. They help make the lessons come alive, and they serve as positive role models for the students.
3) Service learning, or action projects challenge the students to apply what they learned by identifying and addressing a community problem. Youth work together to assess their community's needs, set goals, plan, and reflect on the execution of the process. They complete the program with an increased sense of self-efficacy, and a feeling that they have a role and a stake in the welfare of their community.

Third from the top is the S&W Karambit. I picked one up to use as a trainer to see how a Karambit might fit my training and after making a few adjustments have decided that it's solid enough for EDC. Unlike many more-expensive versions, the S&W has a 3" blade. Practice with the "Brownie pop" open and it's a serious player.Here's the collection:

My current EDC is a Case Sodbuster Jr. It keeps a very nice edge, but is two-handed opener. I used to carry a CRKT M16-10Z which is partially serrated with a tanto tip. Nice knife, but caught the pocket clip at work and mangled it. Plus the angles on it shredded pockets.
Now I am looking at either a SOG or a Benchmade. Spyderco is also in the tops list. Maybe I'll buy a few :D It's so hard to pick just one. Guns and knives can easily make one poor.

I finally got my Benchmade! It is a Griptilian 550SBKHG

I like the griptilian just have never purchased one, i keep a CRKT Ignitor T (left) and a Spyderco Chinook 3(right). I use the ignitor for everyday use, and the chinook for my SD.
The ignitor is an assisted opener through the use of pushing the thumb stud down and applying pressure forward, it comes out very quick!
The Chinook has that huge thumb hole that I love, and I can open just as quickly. THe next knife I get is going to be a fixed blade.

Yes, awesome knife, most of the Columbia River Knife and Tool knives are awesome. I have that big dog M16 model also. Don't worry about dulling that blade. It does get dull easy but honestly it's just about the easiest knife in my collection to sharpen fast as well. I hit it with the Lansky medium diamond stone then the fine then hone it with the Arkansas stone and it's razor sharp.

Just picked up a CRKT M16-01Z and so far I love it. I was torn between it and a SOG Twitch II, which I still really want. Maybe next month I'll pick it up.
I carry a McHenry & Williams pre-production Benchmade in my pocket for general cutting, a Benchmade Snody on my belt in a handmade open top leather sheath and a CRKT Turtle on my keychain. Didn't realize I carried so many until I thought about it.
I carry a ZT 0300 all the time. I also carry a Cold Steel Recon 1 that I use for cutting everything from mail, boxes, etc. I have a Cold Steel Spartan that is stashed in my back pack along with a Gerber razor box knife, a SOG folder plus other misc stuff.
For years I carried a Cold Steel XL Tanto point Voyager, really great knife. However, two years ago I noticed a Benchmade Ruckus online, and I've been hooked ever since. It's a tad big and heavy...but that's what makes it sturdy. As I carry it all the time, I don't even notice the weight anymore. Additionally, I've got one of those Wilson tactical lanyards attached...just in case I ever need parachute cord. (what can I say, I was a boy scout).
Correction...after reading about everyone's EDC, I went to the link for what's legal in your state....oops...!!! I've been carrying illegal for two years with my Benchmade Rukus. Here in Kansas we're only permitted a 4" blade and the Rukus has a 4.25" blade. Kind of ridiculous that I can carry a concealed pistol, but by damned..I can't carry that knife because it's .25 of an inch too long. I've tried to find a mini-rukus, but they apparently aren't making them right now. So, I've picked up a McHenry's and Williams Benchmade folder, with a blade no longer than 3.90".
Seems to be a very nice knife...but, if anyone runs across a mini-rukus...send me a email.

Steve do you have an iPhone?
I was thinking if so, you have my email address and can add me on iMessage? That way you can let me only when you want to play (I only need about a minutes notice) but also it might make communicating during play easier. I always seem to be hanging around in the lobby then your invite comes in, or vice verse. Although its great to see last few days there have been new players in the lobby so it's less of a struggle to get a game. |
@Mark: just played your challenge.
"Score 40 in campaign" means level 40, right? I am past that already, but did not get a confirmation message or anything after finishing the game. And it did not help with updating GC, I am still stuck at lvl43 there. I even changed my GC username, to see if that updates it, but apparently not. If anyone of you checks the campaign leaderboard, do you see me as Null/Zone, or as Sheinfell? This might give a hint if anything on GC updates for me currently. I remember having had a similar problem a good while ago, then with the PvP score. It did not update for a few days, after at first flawlessly updating after every match. But now it is almost two weeks, and it looks like a bug to me. Hhmm, sidethought: might this be related to the GC match connections I have sometimes, as in having a common root cause? It happened a few times that an automatch got done, but then got stuck at various points (automatch screen with "connecting" message, with the board not populated, and either only my username, or no username at all showing). @Cat: Using iMessage is a good idea Will have to setup another email account (sigh! another...) to use it, as my iPad is WiFi only, and I don't want to use my normal one for that. @Goblins: Is it possible without setting up your own server (=using GC) to add an ingame lobby: a place where people who wait for an automatch can chat? Last edited by Sheinfell; 12-27-2012 at 03:42 PM.. |
No, sorry. I don't have a cell phone at all here
Steve@ThreeGoblins |
Sheinfell, I have lightning-fast responses for you:
Challenges : We don't support or use those. Mark said he pressed it by accident as he didn't know what it did Chat Lobby : possible but not anytime soon. GC level : Mike pondering the matter. Steve @ 3Goblins |
We are headed for a small update as soon as we can. This is mainly to deal with Game Center misbehaving.
The App size also needs to be made smaller so we've had it on a strict diet over the holidays! There will be a handful of very basic amendments to a few cards, these being most likely: Heart of Darkness -1 cost Accursed -1 cost Dark Secrets -1 cost Taken Under : +1 cost Skeleton Crew : will be improved a bit to grab better stuff Triton Waveriders: -1 ability cost Shimmershoal : will get same ability as Triton Waveriders Nothing big, just thought I should let you know. We do not plan to have regular changes to cards as this annoys people , especially me And to keep our resident Cat happy, a certain AI Deck has had a goblin pick-axe taken to it. Steve @ ThreeGoblins |
And the update sounds good, you guys do amazing work. Quote:
No rush, there is more important stuff. Good luck to Mike, take care that his head doesn't explode Raising the cost for "Taken Under" by 1: Quite needed I guess, as the "Lost / Taken Under" combo is brutal. Well, will have to come up with another strategy; makes for a good challenge. Might I suggest to add a timer to the "Accursed" card as well? And I disagree with making it cheaper than the 4 it costs now. It is extremely powerful, and most other cards that do similar nasty stuff (e.g. Psychic Vortex, Narrow Tunnels) also have a timer. With the cost lowered to 3, and no timer, it will most likely become the new "Taken Under" card. Hhmm, one fiendish way around this could be to make it affect both players, like Psychic Vortex does. In this case, you might not even need the timer, and a cost of 3 could be okay too. "You do not want to make the Cat angry" (movie quote, guess which one? Hhmm, she should get her own card, how about that? Some bad kitty in dusty boots... ) . No idea which AI deck you talk about, but none of them are difficult to win against. But whatever keeps the Cat happy |

There will be a handful of very basic amendments to a few cards, these being most likely: Heart of Darkness -1 cost Accursed -1 cost Dark Secrets -1 cost Taken Under : +1 cost Skeleton Crew : will be improved a bit to grab better stuff Triton Waveriders: -1 ability cost Shimmershoal : will get same ability as Triton Waveriders Well that's me buggered haha. And Mike the goblin, the lost/taken under is his signature. And okay, I'll say it, I don't want to, but I agree about the accursed being too cheap at 3 cost. I feel genuinely bad laying that damn card and there's always a massive pause while you know your opponent is thinking 'oh nuts....what do I discard!!' Also, many a time I have two accursed in my deck, so it's feasible I could lay 2 in one turn. That's savage! It's a good idea to have the accursed affect both players...I SUPPOSE!! Maybe that's a new card in itself for a future deck though. The timer is a fair option, same as narrow tunnels now have, they were a little bit of an unfair advantage before. Sheinfell, I think I was moaning about Bloodfire peaks which had all the smegmapheres and natural growths....waiting for the animation each turn was tedious. And, if its the last thing I do, I most certainly WILL get my own card. I have no idea how, but I WILL. I don't know what character though, Fairies are lame, goblins are (eek...sorry guys) ugly. I already know what my special power will be but need to figure out how it would fit into a faction theme. Why don't you design a card too? Your style of play is similar to Steve....BIG heavy hitters that like clubbing things over the head. Mark Goblin, I will design his card. It is called 'Death by 1000 papercuts'. It's an item that spits out random papercuts and nips the ass of random cards each turn. It will cost 3 to play. I have spoken! |
Sorry, I'm in a stupid mood today. Friday and all that
Have to give credit here to graymane48. I played him like a dozen times in a row (yes, he got alot of his 54 points score from me), with different decks, and he totally curbstomped me every time with the Lost/TU combination. The deck I mainly use now is modeled after his actually, with some modifications for my playstyle. "Accursed" card: I did not manage to get more than 2 out against the AI yet, so question: What happens when you play 3 or 4, and get your opponent below a zero card hand? Quote:
Serious, all 3 of you goblins should have your own card. From your logo: The middle goblin is "Superior Thinking", something like "gives back 2 power when activated" . The painter on the right could be alot of things; from "paint your own monster by numbers" (allows you to draw a - random(?) - monster from your deck), to "my colors!" (taking over an enemy minion) . Only for the left one I do not have a good idea at the moment, mainly because I cannot clearly see what he is holding (is it a laptop?). |

There are two main objects on the poster:
- a smiley face as the face of the world with a mosaic of square shapes, the symbolic mosaic of languages,
- comics bubble with a mosaic of shapes as the list of languages.
The idea is to show the relation between the world and the list of languages, when is one language lost, it is lost from the face of the world as well as it is lost from the list of languages. And the smiley's face shows us its feeling sad due to.

Expendables 3 enlist Mel Gibson as lead villain
Posted By Vamien McKalin On August 11, 2013 @ 2:51 AM In Miscellaneous | 4 Comments
The Expendables 3 is shaping up to be another crazy, fun ride as Sylvester Stallone works his magic by recruiting new 90s super stars and getting rid of one. From what we understand, Bruce Willis is no longer set to return due to alleged reports of him wanting more money. In addition, Harrison Ford will replace him, while Mel Gibson is in as the villain.
We can't stress enough on how excited we are to see Mel Gibson make the cut for Expendables 3. It's been a long time since we've seen him done anything meaningful with his career after all the scandals in the past, but he's back and looking good as ever.
Mel Gibson comeback to action has apparently begun with Machete Kills, where he plays a villain in a costume suit well tricked out with a cape. If you've watched the first Machete, you shouldn't be surprised at this type of silliness.
Let's touch a little bit on the Bruce Willis vs Sylvester Stallone saga.
The reports claim Bruce Willis wants $4 million to reprise his role in Expendable 3, if that is true, we're thinking he deserves it. This is the third movie, it's logical for Bruce Willis to request some more cash after being featured in the first two films — two films that were relatively successful, I may add. However, sources claim he wanted that amount of money for doing 4 days work in Bulgaria, so we can see where Sylvester Stallone is coming from when he called Willis "greedy and lazy" on Twitter.
At the end of the day, Expendable 3 is capable of being a successful project without Bruce Willis, especially since Mel Gibson is in the leading villain role.

During the month of April, I threw my hat into the ring as a pro blogger on social media topics. My articles 'have been well-received' as one must boast in stuffy corporate lingo. I don't actually know the numbers from Search Cowboys and they don't give out weekly trophies or t-shirts with 'I am the best cowboy.'
I do know my own numbers and connections have blossomed on:
About.Me (286) Twitter (102) Facebook (15) LinkedIn (28) Prezi (352) Website (10,263)
Spring is here. It brought me April, one of the best months for Big Fat Writer to date with more than 10,000 hits to the website. Here's this week's top 4 in no particular order, unless you are Rob Steffe.
Met Digital Marketing Consultant Rob Steffe and discussed our businesses, our LinkedIn profiles and social media gobbledegook. Rob owns two companies Cookie Monster Digital Marketing and COOL Media Management. COOL is short for 'Combine On / Off Line', and Rob is modest, honest, smart, and definitely long on cool. Find him on LinkedIn.
Published an updated article about Pinvolve on Search Cowboys called Repin your Facebook, Pinvolve for all. I was also able to add the picture George Takei emailed me and added some quotes from Pinvolve CEO Stas Goferman. Pinvolve is the bridge between Facebook and Pinterest and helps you share your pictures and content fast and easy.
Pinvolve launched a new website this week and has listed my two Search Cowboy articles on their Pinvolve is the News press page. I am under TechCrunch the #6 Best Blog and The Next Web currently #44 in the top 100 blogs by Technorati.
I am riding on top of the Pinvolve wave and find so much energy in all the hubbub. I am also learning so much about how social media acts and reacts to a new startup and how word-of-mouth works in the Twitter universe and blogosphere.
On Friday, this was my view overlooking Amsterdam Central from the Havensgebouw (Harbor Building). Actually my view was in full color, not monochrome with green accents.
The offices of Kenes Education are sitting pretty on the 12th floor with a 360 view of the harbor, the city center, central station and open air balconies around the whole building. What an inspiring place to work. Plus, another great writing project with smart, informed, enthusiastic people.

I poked Friday the 13th in its unlucky, big fat eye this week. Normally, Big Fat Writer does not need a "Weekly Recap." Most of the week's unbelievable, remarkable PR moments happened on Friday the 13th.

Pinvolve's creator retweeted my article, thanked me and agreed to an interview.
Many thanks to all the people, websites, tweets in my Top 5, in no particular order. I am humbled and thrilled. Some of my dearest friends and aunties have already messaged and said "Great, but I don't know exactly what that all means." It means I need to work on my bragging messages so everyone can get understand. Here's to an under-exposed, under-whelming, under-achieving Monday.

With regards to Erin Morrison's recent exhibition, Monarch Contemporary said, "Working with mixed wet + dry media on paper, Morrison's work depicts the adaptation of landscape to man's rising standards of modification in the struggle to remain productive.
In this body of work, she addresses a diverse range of urban ecosystems (namely the industrial landscape) attempting to give the viewer a new relation to presence, established through the methodical act of drawing. By exercising the emotions that circulate death, development, and rebirth, Morrison finds a new perspective within her process, the sensation of spectacle through the documentation of natural catastrophes."
"The act of destroying even the most hardened and indifferent structures demands a response, even if the event has never taken place." -Erin Morrison

RESIGNED: Norfolk county and north Norfolk district councillor Graham Jones. Picture: SUBMITTED.
Alex Hurrell, Reporter
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
A councillor who has resigned from the Liberal Democrats party has challenged critics to identify where and when he called on earlier party defectors to resign their seats and seek re-election.
A rising chorus of voices has this week been calling on Graham Jones to step down from North Norfolk District Council and Norfolk County Council and face the electorate at by-elections.
Critics, including North Norfolk Labour Party, claim that Mr Jones expected other county councillors who quit their parties - Paul Rice, Philip Hardy and David Callaby - to resign their seats and seek re-election through the ballot box.
An EDP online poll asking readers' views showed on Wednesday morning that, of 214 recorded votes, 194 (91pc) thought Mr Jones should seek re-election and 20 (nine pc) did not.
Mr Jones, 69, from Antingham, near North Walsham, resigned from the party and the Lib-Dem groups on both councils on Monday saying that he had become totally disillusioned with party politics across the political spectrum, but intended to continue as a member of both authorities, serving as an "Independent Liberal Democrat."
He has now thrown down the gauntlet to those who have accused him of double standards, challenging them to identify where and when he called on others who resigned to seek re-election.
"I say a million things and it may be that, in the heat of the moment, I did say something but I honestly can't remember doing so," said Mr Jones.
"Even if I did - and I don't think I did - the difference is that I haven't changed political allegiance. I am still a Liberal Democrat at heart and believe in Liberal-Democrat values."

Sounds like he resigned in the heat of the moment!
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
He might rejoin for his fourth article!
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
The third article on the same issue, one could think the EDP has it in for default Independent's. I have not taken part in this vote, the latest EDP wheeze designed to make out that public opinion can stir planners and be used to forward contentious planning applications. Still I find Mr. Jones's skewed views of Independents need explaining, party politician Nick Clegg is not Independent and never has been, making Cllr. Jones confused, at best.
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Is this man still getting publicity? I'm surprised he hasn't called a by-election just for more newspaper space!
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Is Mr Jones calling his former group leader Paul Morse a liar then? Didn't Paul say on his blog that Graham had called for others to resign? I sense ll is not well in the Lib Dem camp.
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Sounds a bit like pleb gate! He is trying to disprove Labour and Lib Dem claims while not denying he might have said it!
Wednesday, October 17, 2012
When Nick Clegg said "sorry" in a recent Lib Dem party polical broadcast, was he trying to persuade Graham Jones to stay on board the sinking ship?

Halton Hills council has thrown its support behind a businessman planning to install solar panels on the top of three industrial buildings.
Gord Fawcett asked for the Town's support at a recent council meeting. The council resolution will help Fawcett receive priority application processing points under the Ontario Power Authority Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) program.
Fawcett paid a special consideration fee of $1,433 to the Town for its review of the applications and council resolutions.
The solar PV rooftop systems will be installed on 88 Todd Rd., 35 Sinclair Ave. and 60 Armstrong Ave.— all adjacent to one another. Together they would generate enough electricity annual equivalent to the needs of 400 homes. The projects, if approved, are expected to be started in Oct. 2014, and completed in January 2014.

Growing up down South—where customs are cherished and parties are picture-perfect—Courtney Dial Whitmore learned the art of entertaining at a young age.
Now, the renowned author and blogger shares her styling know-how and party design expertise on her much-adored blog, Pizzazzerie, in her books "Push-up Pops" and, our personal favorite, "Candy Making for Kids." From toffee and fudge to cute candy creations, this gastronomic book is filled with delicious, easy-to-follow recipes for kids (and kids at heart).
In honor of the last official days of summer and an excuse to eat candy, we asked Courtney to make us a special kid-approved treat. Thankfully, she indulged us. Our stomachs are happy, and yours will be too. Check out her recipe for Target Toffee below!
Labor Day might mark the end of summer but it doesn't have to mean the end of sweet treats and party fun! I'm excited to share one of my favorite recipes from my new book "Candy Making For Kids." Not only is it easy (no candy thermometer needed), but it's absolutely addictive. You have been warned! What I love about this treat is that you can customize it to your party or celebration, so I styled up some sweet Labor Day toffee bites.
From an American Flag and celebratory stars to the Target Bullseye, you can create almost any design from this toffee recipe. I created rectangle, star and circle shapes for my designs. The rectangle made the perfect "flag" shape while the circle was for my Bullseye.
Target Toffee by Courtney Dial Whitmore
Makes 65–70 pieces
What You'll Need:
28–29 squares honey graham crackers
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup regular (or mini) M&M's
½ cup mini marshmallow bits
What You'll Do:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Lay out honey graham crackers until pan is full to all sides.
3. Combine brown sugar and butter in saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a rolling boil and remove from heat. Pour over layer of graham crackers and spread until evenly coated. Bake for 10 minutes.
4. Remove and pour package of chocolate chips over whole pan. As chocolate melts, use back of spoon to spread chocolate to all sides.
5. Sprinkle with M&M's. Allow toffee to cool for 1 to 2 hours or until firm. Break into bite-size pieces or use cookie cutters to create fun shapes. Try alphabet letters, stars, or other fun shapes!
Our personal favorite… the Bullseye-shaped Target Toffee!

Although even the top picks in the NHL draft often start their professional careers in the minors, Bouwmeester played all 82 games of his rookie season. But that year, as well as his second, Bouwmeester didn't quite look the part of a scoring defenseman, collecting just six goals.
After a labor dispute canceled the 2004-05 season, league officials worried about fan support. They drafted rule changes that favored athletic skaters and led to more goals. A less physical, finesse game favored the sport's pure athletes, like Bouwmeester. He stepped into the opposing team's offensive zone with more frequency, assisting on 41 goals. The next year, at age 23, Bouwmeester became a goal-scoring threat, notching a dozen. Last season, he scored a career-high 15.
Even with that increase in scoring, the statistic that defensemen prize most is their plus/minus. That is, the ratio between goals one's team scores while he's on the ice versus how many his team gives up. It can be misleading for players like Bouwmeester, who has had so few All-Star teammates. But it's still a measure of his development that Bouwmeester's ratio improved every year from minus-29 as a rookie to plus-23 in his fourth season. Now, Bouwmeester has a career average of minus-28.
Those were solid numbers, but the 18-year-old Bouwmeester was right to feel the weight of the comparisons made between him and the league's best-ever defensemen. When Larry Robinson was Bouwmeester's age, his time on the ice brought him a plus-120 ratio. Bobby Orr managed a plus-124. When he was just 24, Paul Coffey scored 48 goals.
"I'm one of the people who looks at Jay Bouwmeester and wonders when the star will emerge," says Ken Campbell, a columnist for The Hockey News. "You watch him skate and you can see his size, but after a game, sometimes you wonder whether he even played."
That tendency to fade into the scenery is the reason Campbell rates Bouwmeester as one of the league's top 20 defenseman. Based on raw ability, Campbell would rank him in the top five. "He doesn't have that intensity, the mean streak. He doesn't play a physically demanding, punishing game. It's not in his makeup. And it will continue to keep him from being an elite defenseman in the league."
Lacking that quality, opposing players are bolder about standing in front of the Panthers net, where they can deflect a teammate's shot for a goal. Or they're obliged to bully smaller Panthers players, daring Bouwmeester to come to his teammate's aid.
Campbell isn't even convinced that Bouwmeester really makes his teammates better, pointing to the losing records that followed him from junior hockey in Medicine Hat into the NHL with the Panthers.
Dan Bouwmeester has been hearing critics talk about his son's lack of toughness for years. It still quickens his temper. "Anybody who says he's not tough is out to lunch," he snaps. He cites a game last season when his son roughed up Montreal Canadiens wing Alexei Kovalev in retaliation for a hit on Panther center Nathan Horton.
But that kind of rough play is a rarity for Bouwmeester. Last year, no defenseman in hockey played more minutes than Jay Bouwmeester, partly because he managed to stay out of the penalty box. By Dan Bouwmeester's reckoning, it takes more guts to stay on the ice and risk eating a 100-mph slapshot than it does to skate to the penalty box. "Some of these detractors should try standing in front of a net for 30 minutes a night before they talk about toughness."
The Panthers take at least some of the blame for Bouwmeester's inability to meet his potential. The front office has been unable to develop a star forward, despite seven top 10 draft picks in the past ten years. The Panthers blundered mightily in trading away star goalie Roberto Luongo. They've also gone through coaches at a rate that would make George Steinbrenner blush.
After Bouwmeester was drafted, he was coached by the legendary Mike Keenan. In Bouwmeester's second year, Keenan was fired, replaced on an interim basis by Dudley, who gave way to John Torchetti in 2004. When Keenan returned to the franchise as GM, he brought in yet another new coach, Jacques Martin, who also assumed the GM's job when Keenan left in 2006. After last season, Martin stepped down as coach but remained as GM, hiring Peter DeBoer behind the bench. DeBoer, a decorated junior hockey coach, came in with no experience leading a pro team. He is Bouwmeester's fifth coach in five pro seasons.
"It's fair to say that the Panthers are one of the worst-run franchises in the NHL, and it shows in their record," says Scott Burnside, hockey analyst for ESPN.com. "What would Jay Bouwmeester be like if he'd have gone to a team with more stability in coaching and general management?"
To Dan Bouwmeester, that's a tantalizing question. It's evident that he's been frustrated not only by the way the Panthers have handled his son but by the very existence of a hockey team in a region that doesn't appreciate it. "It shouldn't even be in the NHL," he says. "It's not a hockey town. Why is it even down there?"

Question: How do we deal with destructive people we live with — and those destructive parts of ourselves — once we have unknowingly invited them into our lives? How do we react to a sudden wind that blows sand in our eyes?
Answer: The first time you find yourself in a "sand storm" produced by being in wrong relationship with another person, or with parts within yourself, it must be realized that the reason for the "stinging" is because you don't belong "there." Once it becomes clear to us that there are people and parts of ourselves that are "desert dwellers" — lovers of low places — there no longer remains any excuse for being around them… no exceptions. Seek the highest regardless what the lowest says is "right" or "needful" for you. The self that believes there is a good reason for wandering around in a sand storm is kicking up the sands it cries about!
