Noise and Hearing Loss Prevention
Related keywords: hearing protection, noise exposure, hearing conservation
Hearing loss isn't visible like other injuries, but it remains a serious health issue in today's workplaces.
Whether you use leaf blowers outdoors or work indoors around industrial machinery or barking dogs, loud noise during work activities can permanently damage your hearing and cause persistent ringing in your ears (tinnitus). Excess noise may add risk for dangerous workplace safety accidents when it interferes with communication and concentration.
These impacts can also negatively affect productivity and create unnecessary costs to individuals and businesses.
Prevention begins with identifying noise sources and evaluating workers' exposures to find out if noise exposure is hazardous. When a hazard is found, employers are required to make changes to reduce or eliminate the noise hazard and educate the workforce about noise and hearing conservation. If the noise problem persists, further testing and protective measures are required.

you no longer entertain me troll
I'm out
Missed the BSD news then, huh?
you no longer entertain me troll
I'm out
Personally I never understood what was wrong with (or all that great about) BSD to begin with. It strikes me that by and large you aren't going to know about your kernel anyway. You've got a desktop environment running on top of magic and it should be invisible. What am I missing?
On topic:
This pattern with Ubuntu has me wondering. Anyone else see a tipping point happening here in the industry as a whole?
When I ask this, some people say "I heard that 5 years ago", "I heard that 10 years ago", but with Steam "rolling" out here, distros like Ubuntu going through what looks like "commercialization growing pains, and Microsoft making crazy moves to stay relevant, I think this crap might just happen. We're finally getting ready to take on the desktop.
Industry turning point. Holy cow that would be exciting.
Ah. No, I don't. Linux users do. I never have to.
Sorry for the misunderstanding and thanks for the clearance.

[Adobe Developer Connection] Hi. I'm Adobe Developer Evangelist, Kevin Hoyt. We've been working through the PhoneGap APIs in this series, and this time, we're going to start talking about contacts. This is one of my favorite features of PhoneGap because capabilities reach in to the iOS contacts and either create contacts or search them and be able to leverage data that comes with those contacts in your PhoneGap application. So if we take a look at Dreamweaver here, where all the magic happens. I've got 2 views. I've got a split view going on with code on the left, and a live view of the application on the right. So on the right here, we can see Contacts title bar, First name, Last name, Email, Mobile. One of the fun things I like about the emerging web standards is some of the new capabilities. So for example, the input tag has a placeholder attribute now that let's you have, in this case, a grayish kind of default filler for that text field, and when we actually tab on that text field the filler goes away-- the placeholder goes away, and we can put in our values. One of the things we'll see as we get this application actually running on the device is how the different types of inputs that we now have available to us can reflect the keyboard that gets displayed on the device. Super cool stuff! But for now, let's just go through the code and figure out how to work with the contacts to begin with. So let's come over here to the contacts JavaScript, and I've got 2 different buttons there. One is for creating a contact and then one is for finding a contact. So we'll take a look at creation first. So we have this btnCreate, which is the button that's clicked on for create, and I will be using touchstart which is on mobile devices. The touch events seem to be more responsive than, for example, using a click event. So let's say touchstart, and then we're going to say new contact. Rather we're going to say here's a contact property not a variable, and we're going to use that navigator object, just like we do with all the other PhoneGap APIs-- navigator, in this case, .contacts.create. And what that's going to do is, spit back to us a contacts object ready to be manipulated and stored into the device contacts listing. Now here we have a contact.displayName, contact.nickname, and I'm just going ahead and appending the first and last name fields from the text fields the user has entered, and putting those into the display name and nickname fields. There is also a formal ContactName object. Now that's part of the PhoneGap APIs, and the contact name object lets you do things like given name, family name, honorific names, prefixes, suffixes, and things like that. I'm going to go ahead and just use givenName which is my first name, and then the familyName, which is the last name, and then there's a contact.emails and this is actually an array because you might have an email for your personal. You might have an email for work. You might have some other email address, so you can specify those different types of emails and in an array, each email entry is going to be a contact field object, which again also is part of the PhoneGap API, and in this case, I'm going to have 1 for home, and that's going to get the email from the textfield in my user interface and use that. I might choose to have work or other labels in there as well. Same thing kind of goes for phone numbers. So contact.phoneNumbers is an array because I might have more than 1 phone number-- work phone number, mobile phone number, or a home phone number and so on and so forth, fax number and so on. So we have that. We'll also be in array of contact field objects, and in this case, mobile is the one that I have in my user interface and the one that we'll be using. We'll go ahead and pull that from that field. Now once I have decided that all of the different contact elements that I'm interested in capturing have been captured, in this case, I only have those 4 fields, so not a whole lot of data to capture. But once I have that object populated, I can go ahead and save it. So as we go ahead and get that contact object from PhoneGap, there's a method on that object called save, which we can use to actually save it to the contacts directory on the actual operating system. So we say, contact save and just like most PhoneGap calls, you get a call back depending on whether or not it is successful or has errored, and in this case, the success. What we're going to do is just clear out all the values in the user interface so that'll tell the user, hey this has been saved. The populated fields have been removed. I don't know if that is the most efficient UX approach, but that's what I've used in this case, and then if it's an error, we're going to use console.log to error to show an error message out to the console. Now that is creating a contact, so again, you use the PhoneGap API to create a contact object, populate the fields you want, and then say contactinstance.save, and that will save it out to the system. The next then is to be able to find a contact that's already existing or already out there. So in this case, I have a button called find, so btnfind and we're going to listen for a touchstart, which again is the cool end of a click. In this case, the field I'm going to be looking for is star. Star means look through all the fields and it also means--and this is really important-- it also means return all the fields. In this particular instance, PhoneGap tries to be a little bit on the conservative side. In my opinion, it will by default only search for the fields that you give it, and only return those properties that you're searching for. So for example, you just want to search in the name fields, then you can specify those properties here, but those will also be the only fields you'll get back in the contact, so you won't get email and phone numbers, and so on and so forth. So in this case, I'm interested in all of that additional data, so I'm going to go ahead and use star, so it'll search the fields and get all the fields back. The other thing that PhoneGap tends to play very conservatively here, is we look at the options, say filter--the filter value is the actual string that we're searching for in the contacts. But then here in the multiple, I'm going to specify true. The default is actually false. What does multiple mean? Well, multiple means I'm only going to get multiple matches back, so if I search for Hoyt, and in this case, I have all my family in my contacts, I'm going to get all the Hoyts back. The default though by PhoneGap is only to get 1. So it finds that first match and that's it, and that makes sense. You don't want to overwhelm the proxy and the communication. You don't want to overwhelm building out the user interface for what might be mini, mini contacts on that device. So that's how PhoneGap is going to be conservative on the inside. It's just give you what you ask for back and only return 1 record, and that's going to keep it real compact. Just so you know, if you actually look at the console dump, it's actually a JSON object that's going back and forth, so it's really easy to actually start pressing and dealing with that data. Here, once we've got our field set up and our options set up, we're going to say navigator--there's that magic PhoneGap object again-- .contacts.find. We're going to pass it to fields we want to look for, and in this case, the function for success is going to take the values off of the contact object that comes back, and put those into the UI. If it's an error, it will display an error, and then of course, we want to pass it to options. Just really quickly here, you'll notice that the contacts is actually an array. So the contact objects we get back is an array. In this case, I'm just going to pull the first one off. I certainly could have looped through the multiples and created a list or some other display for them, but it is an array. I also notice the things like emails where we said we could have more than 1 email and same thing for phone numbers where you can have more than 1 phone number. Both of those are also arrays that you're going to want to get the value. If you're ever in question as to what those properties are in the content object that comes back, the PhoneGap documentation is actually pretty good in this respect, but I've also found it very, very helpful to just dump out the contacts information itself and look at it as a JSON object and be able to pick off parts and pieces I'm interested in as well. So there's our code for creating and finding a contact. Let's go ahead and run that. I've got my simulator here set up, so we're going to go ahead and run it in the simulator. We'll go ahead and put in me, Kevin. And Hoyt. And khoyt@--it's trying to recommend that I use a capital K. I don't want to-- @adobe.com. Here we go. I also want to point out here that the keyboard here that you see on iOS actually has the @ symbol in the center, smaller space button, it's got a dot button versus if we go back up to the last name here, you'll actually notice a big, giant space bar just like you'd find on your keyboard at home. So the different input types you get from the emerging standards give you different keyboards on the mobile device. Now I'll actually come over to the mobile number. You get a totally different keyboard, and this is pretty cool. This is actually just like the dial pad that you would normally get if you're going to call somebody. So in this case, let's say I'm--I don't know--369-258-1470, and you notice also that the keyboard here has previous and next and done, and so now we've gone ahead and created--we've captured the basic contact information. We'll go ahead and create, and if it's created and successful, remember we're going to clear the fields. The fields are, indeed, now cleared, so we know that contact exists. Proof is in the pudding, as they say. So let's go over to our contacts application--Wa la! Here it is! Kevin Hoyt. Click on that record. We can see Kevin Hoyt. We can see the nickname field, the mobile number has been captured, the home email address is there, and now if we jump back into our demo application here and look for say, Hoyt in the last name, go ahead and click find. We'll go out, hit the contacts database on the device, come back with the records that we're interested in. In this case, it will show just one record and populate out the rest of the fields. So now we can actually create contacts and find contacts in the database of the device. This opens the door for some really neat possibilities, like for example, I might choose to take this mobile phone number and put a little phone icon next to it to call, so if in the context of your application you want to call somebody, you can do that, email them, and so on and so forth, which is a pretty cool API. I really like getting into that native database--native systems a little closer, so PhoneGap, of course, is great for that. HTML, JavaScript, CSS web standards are great for that. That's how to use the contacts API with PhoneGap. More API coverage to come. So come on back. Until then, I'll be waiting. [Adobe Developer Connection]

Chicken Pot Pie
While I was going through my freezer I came across a bunch of shredded cooked chicken which was quite fortuitous as I had recently been thinking of a chicken pot pie that I remembered eating at my grandmothers house when I was a kid. With such perfect timing I thought that I would just have to try making a chicken pot pie. A chicken pot pie is pretty simple savoury pie containing chicken, vegetables, and a creamy sauce. You can make the pie with a top and bottom crust or just the top crust or you can even use biscuits to form a crust. Since I wanted to work on my pie crust skills I decided to go with the full pie crust. For the filling, I wanted a lot of vegetables and some thyme and on a last minute whim I decided to throw in some miso for some extra flavour. I was a bit worried as I have not had much luck with pie crusts, but the chicken pot pie turned out surprisingly well. The crust was my best so far, though I still need to work on my crimping skills. It was nice and light and flaky and crispy and golden brown and buttery and good! The filling was really tasty and the miso worked well in it. I am a bit surprised that something so simple can be so good. This is comfort food at its best!

text: PORTSMOUTH — "Computer intrusions and network attacks are the greatest cyber threat to our national security," FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III told a U.S. Senate homeland security panel in September.And, according to MJ Shoer, president of Jenaly Technology Group, cyber crime and cyber terrorism are about to be named the No. 1 threat to our nation.Shoer issued the warning to a group of 25 owners and staff members of small- and mid-size businesses during a lunchtime seminar about cyber security. The event, sponsored by Jenaly, a Portsmouth-based IT provider, took place Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the Portsmouth Harbor Events & Conference Center.The gist of the 90-minute seminar was that businesses are not as safe as they think they are. Shoer explained what businesses need to do to be safe online and in their office, and he offered practical action steps to that end.Shoer founded Jenaly in 1997. He is an expert in cyber security, having authored two books and testified before Congress about the topic. In an interesting – but somewhat disturbing – aside, Shoer said, "The most fascinating thing about Congress is how clueless it is about cyber security."Besides excellence as an IT provider, Jenaly has also been recognized for its environmental practices as a business partner of the Green Alliance, a union of local sustainable businesses promoting environmentally sound business practices, and a green co-op offering discounted green products and services to its members.On Wednesday, Shoer told attendees that, mostly because of automated software programs, but also because of individual hackers' efforts, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of attempts occur each day to breach each business represented at the seminar. Many of the attempts come from organized crime groups in Eastern Europe. In fact, so many residents of one Romanian town dedicate themselves to hacking, that the FBI has stationed its only overseas field office just outside of town.Shoer cited the $10 million loss Subway restaurants sustained when hackers exploited a default username and password combination for remote access hardware. "Password security is the biggest issue out there," he said. "Sixty-one percent of people reuse the same password on multiple Web sites." He said business people – everyone, really – should use different passwords for different purposes: business, personal, shopping, banking, etc."Banks are under attack," he said. "It's a modern-day war front." And our electric grid is vulnerable. For companies doing millions of dollars of business a day, or more modest amounts, "What if you can't do that for a week?" he asked rhetorically, noting that there has been a 300 percent increase in the number of data breaches since 2010."Password management is the leading cause of data breach," he said, telling business people to change password strategies, using password phrases and including spaces, symbols, a combination of upper- and lower-case letters and numbers. He also advised using a "password manager" that uses both a password and a pin number with a high degree of "encryption" — which is the translation of data into a secret code. Soon passwords of fewer than eight characters will no longer be permitted, he said, and biometrics – such as using finger prints – will be a more widely used security measure."A good encryption manager is a step in the right direction," Shoer said, while noting that FBI agents told Congress: "Nothing is 100 percent safe." "The brutal truth," Shoer added, "is if someone wants to hack you, he will be able to do it. The only question is if you find out before he does much damage."Medical records are a target for hackers, not so much for the information they hold in files, but as a vessel by which to mask hackers to do damage to third-parties. He suggested that online banking be done on a "dedicated machine," that is, one that only does online banking.Shoer advised attendees to:• Install a managed firewall with application filtering and human-level reporting and intrusion prevention into their networks.• Install external email security scanning. Emails are the second most numerous attack point on a network.• Install a firewall-based anti-virus/anti malware detection program.• Install a secured wireless access point.• Install "rogue device" detection. "Everything gets shared with everybody these days," Shoer said of younger people, who connect to each other with multiple devices, exposing networks to attack.• Implement USB/portable device detection/prevention.• Institute a strong password policy.Minimum computer best policies he advised included:• Keep the firewall on at all times• Use anti-virus and anti-malware software.• Keep software up to date.• Be very careful with downloads, email links, and never click on pop-ups. While obviously forbidden to watch at work, porn Web sites and sports-information sites expose computers to danger. "Don't drive in bad neighborhoods," an FBI agent has warned in reference to suspect Web sites. Shoer suggested companies install a couple of computers with web access but not connected to the network if people absolutely need to catch up on the latest scores.Using the Nook or Kindle on a wireless network is "a huge breach point," Shoer said. "There is no way that they're designed to be in the business world." The iPhone and iPad can have a higher degree of security. But in the end, "I don't see a need to connect a portable device to a network except for corporate email," he said.For mobile devices, best practices include:• Use device encryption.• Use mobile device managerial software.• Restrict access to what's only necessary for corporate data and networks.• Enforce wireless encryption policies.• Do not allow personal devices on the company network.• Institute a clear "backup policy."• It's best to only support company-issued devices.However, for all the technical countermeasures to cyber attacks, Shoer said, "you and I are still the biggest danger, and we're the last line of defense."For more information about Jenaly Technology Group, visit www.jenaly.com.

Johnstown police removed 16 dogs from a home on the 100 block of Coal Street in Old Conemaugh Borough yesterday. The animals were living in poor conditions…14 of them in cages in the basement. The woman who lived there was wanted on several outstanding warrants. The dogs were taken to the Cambria County Humane Society.
State Police in Cambria County say 18-year-old Davon Lee Holmes of Pittsburgh is facing 20 felony charges for attacking at least three workers Sunday at the Cresson Secure Treatment Juvenile Detention Center. Holmes was given a broom to clean his room and he allegedly used it to hit the workers. He also punched and bit them and spit on them. Holmes was transferred to the Cambria County Prison this week and his preliminary hearing is next Wednesday.
In Cambria County Court today, sentencing is scheduled for 26-year-old Patrick Burkett of Beaverdale who pleaded guilty in the death of his girlfriend's 22-month old daughter. Burkett was babysitting Reagan Panic while her mother was at work. Reagan died of blunt force trauma to the head at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh in August of last year.
Some sign-ups for the Marine Corps Reserves Toys For Tots program are today and tomorrow. You will need to take your I.D. and Access Card plus Social Security cards for each child. Toys For Tots can provide Christmas toys for children up to 16 years old. The sign up in Bedford is today at the Bedford County Courthouse between 9 and 3. registration for Johnstown is tomorrow.

The National Park Service says the hemlock trees at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville are in trouble. Officials are working to hopefully prevent an invasive insect from killings the trees. They say another invasive bug has proven to be one of the most effective ways to kill off the insects, but they are concerned about bringing in a beetle that is not native to Somerset County because it could have unknown, long-term impacts. Instead, they will use a mix of bark spraying, soil tablets and other efforts for the next three years.
Penndot Secretary Barry Schoch says progress is being made on a public-private partnership to quickly replace hundreds of structurally deficient bridges. A forum was held in Hershey yesterday and according to Schoch, the department is hoping the legislature will act on transportation funding when they return to session next week, but PennDOT is also continuing to use existing dollars more efficiently. Through the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project, 2- to 300 structurally deficient bridges of similar design would be replaced under one contract to streamline design and construction. The low-bidder would also maintain bridges for a yet-to-be-determined number of years.
Governor Tom Corbett is running for another term, making the announcement in Pittsburgh yesterday as part of a statewide tour. Corbett's next stop will be in Philadelphia and then in Lancaster for a rally on Saturday. Last week, A Franklin & Marshall College poll showed that 33 percent of registered Republicans surveyed thought Corbett should not seek re-election in 2014. The poll also shows that only 34-percent of Republicans rated Corbett's job performance positively.
Saturday marks the second anniversary of Joe Paterno's firing, and the "Centre Daily Times" reports that Penn State football great Franco Harris and other supporters will honor the late coach with a presentation and panel discussion starting at 7:30 at the Days Inn on South Pugh Street in State College. The group thinks Paterno was unfairly fired and that media reports have unreasonably branded him as part of the alleged coverup of Jerry Sandusky's child abuse allegations.
The nation's first health insurance exchange enrollment center is opening today in Connecticut. The enrollment center is modeled after an Apple store, offering in-person assistance to guide customers through the process of enrolling for health insurance.
The Senate is about to pass a bill protecting the rights of gay workers. A final vote could happen today on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA. The measure would ban workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The man convicted of killing Congressional intern Chandra Levy could get a new trial. Attorneys for Ingmar Guandique argue that federal prosecutors knew, or should have known, a key prosecution witness had previously informed to police on other cases. Levy was last seen alive in May of 2001. Her remains were found a year later in a DC park.
One of three teenagers accused of killing an Australian student in Oklahoma is now officially facing a murder charge. Prosecutors say 17-year-old Michael Dewayne Jones may also have been involved in two other shootings in the 24-hour span that included the killing of Christopher Lane. Sixteen-year-old Chancey Luna and 15-year-old James Edwards Jr. are also charged as adults with first degree murder.
Senators are looking at Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts, one year after the devastating storm hammered the northeastern U.S. coast. In a Senate hearing, New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker said billions of dollars in federally-approved assistance has still not made it to Jersey businesses and families-in-need.
Rapper Kanye West will be in court today on charges stemming from an alleged altercation with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport this summer. During the July 19th confrontation – which was caught on tape – West wrestled paparazzo Daniel Ramos to the ground in an apparent attempt to take his camera.
Mary J. Blige has been tapped to honor the recent Nobel Peace Prize winner at the 20th annual Nobel Peace Prize Concert. Taking place on December 11th at Oslo, Norway's Spektrum Arena, the concert will also feature performances from James Blunt, Swedish singer Zara Larsson and the Norwegian hip-hop duo Envy.
The Olympic torch has made it to the International Space station. The torch is aboard a Soyuz spacecraft that successfully launched from Kazakhstan with a crew including men from Russia, America, and Japan. Torches have flown into orbit before but this is the first one that will be taken on a spacewalk by cosmonauts and returned to Earth.
Til death do they part. A pair of Texas newlyweds recently celebrated spending the rest of their lives together with a wedding cake made to look like realistic versions of their severed heads. Cake artist Natalie Sideserf spent around 40 hours on the confection. She says almost all of their wedding guests loved the cake, although it shocked her grandmother, although she later confessed that she appreciated all the detail.
It looks like most Americans aren't ready to wear their technology on their face. According to a new poll from Harris Interactive, almost half of respondents said they think wearable gadgets like the Google Glass or Galaxy Gear are "just a fad." Younger people are more likely to consider buying and wearing such a product. Sixty-three percent of those ages 18 to 35 said that are at least a little interested in the idea, compared to 47 percent of those ages 36 to 48. Thirty-eight percent of respondents agree that if they were to buy some kind of wearable technology, it would have to replace one of the devices they already use.
Being an office worker doesn't necessarily mean working in an office. More than half of the office workers taking part in a new Microsoft poll say they'd be willing to put in more hours on the job – and 20-percent would accept a pay cut – if they could have more flexibility in getting things done. Fifty-five-percent say they have tasks they must complete regardless of where they are. Nearly 40-percent add that they do their "best thinking" outside the office. And there doesn't seem to be many off-limits areas for getting the job done. Over a third of the respondents work through their daily commute, 47-percent have put time into work projects while on vacation, and 44-percent have done office work while relaxing at home. Twenty-percent have worked while attending one of their kids' activities. Just under 30-percent have been on the job while out to dinner, while 27-percent have put in office hours from their bed. And 19-percent admit they've even done some office work while in the bathroom.

Super Light and quiet! The coating did worn out after 1-2 seasons of riding. So it is not as shinny as it did the first months, but still! the chain always felt smooth, and it outlasted my old ones. I now have one on my XC and my DH rig!
First off, this chain has been used well as it is on my fat bike. So it has been through mud, snow, rain. I still dry and lube it right after but even on the days I have forgotten I haven't noticed any rust starting. The one bummer is I have broken it twice and at times I wouldn't think it would break, but that's when they usually do. But as I stated it's been through a lot for a chain. Overall pretty satisfied. The gold looks good too.
I was told by a friend to buy this chain.....I kept breaking chains on all my bikes so I bought this one for each of them.....that was over a year ago and not one has broke! haven't checked for stretch yet but they are not mis-shifting, so no worries!
Excellent chain, super strong. Problem free for two years. Bling gold!!

COM winner for August: Paulo Morgado
Paulo Morgado (paulo.morgado ) has been selected as COM winner for the month of August.
Over the last few months he has written a number of really interesting and useful wiki articles about asynchronous programming on Windows Phone (Bringing async/await to the Contacts service, How to (not) deadlock your UI using async-await) and Reactive Services (Implementing GeoCordinateWatcher as a Reactive Service, Observable vs. Task). He also translated these to his native Portuguese: Trazendo async/await ao serviço de contactos, Como (não) paralisar a UI usando async-await, Observável vs. Tarefa. Finally, we were also pleased to see Paulo offering advice against related articles on asynchronous programming, helping to improve those articles too.
We'll be sending Paulo a Nokia Lumia 720 and a Monster Headset. Please join me in congratulating him on the discussion boards.
Next month we've got another great Lumia device for our Wiki Contributor of the Month. That could be one of our great contributors from last month or it could be you: all you need to do is contribute useful articles, example codes, tutorials, or significantly shape up the existing ones!

Good Books Are Life Teachers

Dressed in a formal collar and tie, father reads to his family, probably during the presidency of Woodrow Wilson (1912 - 1920). His wife and children are also well dressed and they sit in a well-appointed parlor. The book is not specified. The children were probably accustomed to stories that ended with a moral lesson because they and their peers often learned how to read and spell from the McGuffey Readers. Named after the Rev. William Holmes McGuffey, who wrote it, this famous series sold 122 million copies between 1836 and 1920.

Barn tax program keeps adding towns
Sunday, February 24, 2013
CONCORD — Eighty-six towns and cities in New Hampshire are now using the state's tax incentive program to encourage historic barn preservation. According to data collected by the N.H. Department of Revenue Administration, by the close of 2012, 425 historic structures were enrolled in the program.
Modeled after the state's open space discretionary easement program, the barn tax incentive allows municipalities to grant property tax relief to barn owners who can demonstrate the public benefit of preserving their barns or other old farm buildings while agreeing to maintain their structures through a 10-year renewable easement. In return, the local board of selectmen or city council provides tax relief of 25% to 75% of the full assessed value of the building and the land underneath it. In addition, the assessment will not increase as a result of maintenance or repair work that is performed while the easement is in effect.
Barn owners interested in applying for the incentive to become effective in the coming tax year need to apply by April 15, 2013. Also of note is that easements that went into effect the first year of the program (2003) for a ten-year term will expire on March 31, 2013. Property taxes on the relevant structures may then increase unless the easements are renewed. Applications for renewal, like new applications, must be submitted to your local Selectboard on N.H. DRA form PA-36-A no later than April 15, 2013.
The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance is the state's nonprofit membership organization committed to preserving historic buildings, communities and landscapes through leadership, education and advocacy.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
IDF Spokesperson Lt. Ella Barzilai released the following statement:
"In the past couple of hours there have been several claims that IDF soldiers caused the death of an axe-wielding Palestinian. Just to clarify, no IDF soldiers were involved in the incident. For more details, get in touch with the Shin Bet's spokesman."
The Jewish Press, which originally reported the killing, has now changed its headline to suggest it was Israeli GSS agents who did the killing.
Better late than never. Unless, of course, the GSS spokesperson is working on a hurried email announcemnet as we speak.

Pity that German HQ/Group towards the east couldn't be harnessed toards a worthier goal..What has your Airforce been doing, pityful as it is? And the Navy Air? How about the secondary fronts: africa, middle east, Baku?
Btw..I talked to my then-landlord, about 1991-1992. He said, that while he was fighting (as a Danish Volunteer in Viking ..) for the Germans, they got close enough to see the smoke from the refineries in Baku, and had to turn around because of Stalingrad...So you are not the only one to ALMOST get to your goal, and then fail...

Crutchfield's Car Audio Proving Ground Series
A four-part look at what new gear can do for a Ford F-150
We wanted to answer the most basic question about car audio: is it really worth it to upgrade? With the help of the Crutchfield Labs, we set out to prove just how much better music sounds when it's played through a high-quality aftermarket system. Our plan was to test the sound of an aftermarket system one component at a time, based on sound quality and loudness.
Using a 2004 Ford F-150 as our test vehicle, we installed some great gear, then documented the system performance and improvements along the way:
Part one: Receivers and speakers

My plan is to focus on the short game this year and as part of this journey, my plan is to experiment with my practice and focus a large majority of the time solely on the short game. Hopefully this results in lower scores and more birdies.
The plan is to post updates and share progress throughout the year right here... so feel free to jump in, share your stories, any tips or advice for honing the short game...
So who's with me? And let's get this experiment started...
Count me in. I know that my short game is by far the worst part of my game and is probably the reason I dont shoot under par more often. I am a very good putter but my chipping and pitching is just awful. I have put a lot of time in the last few months and it has paid off big time. So this is going to remain my focus until I have the confidence I used to have when I missed a green I wouldnt even bring my putter becuase I knew it was going to be inside 3 feet.
Definatly in, the short game is what seperates the good players from the great players. If you look on tour, the biggest difference between pros and a good am is 100 yards in, chipping and putting. A lot of the tour guys don't hit it a lot further but their proximity to the hole and ability to read and make longer putts consistently is the separation. I am devoting a majority of my practice time to short approach shots, chipping, bunker play and putting to try and make some big improvements this year, good luck to all.
Follow up to my first post. Had a lesson today and the pro realized that my left wrist breaks down so adding loft.....the practice he suggested...chipping and pitching. Help for the short game and then the long game..double win.
I'm in too. 2011 was a good year, got my index down to an all-time low of 1.2 thanks in large part to a focus on regaining lost flexibility, and an awesome new set of Titleist AP2 irons!
I was hoping for continued success In 2012, but it just didn't happen. I got a bit lazy with my winter workouts and I just couldn't score. With a late season hand injury, finished at 5.2, so I'm very motivated to get back out there!
I just finished reading Unconscious Scoring by Dave Stockton - a great read! He really makes the short game simple, breaking it down to a simple "high shot / low shot" decision. I'm 50 now and can't wait to get back out there!
Its not an experiment for me, its a way of life.
My practice time is at the pitching/bunker green. My range time is limited to early season and that is only 2-3 buckets total. Use to be I would get a severe case of the hooks and I would go to the range, but I have found the cure for the hooks(knock on wood).
I do practice rounds where I may drop a ball and hit again, still yet, it is mostly short game practice.
I spend hrs at the practice pitching green, and days when the course is closed for scramble I may be there all day, pitching is just fun.
Good idea. I am with you on this. My focus will be targeted at GIR. My stats on fairways and putts are better then average but miss too many greens thus taking birdie opportunities out . My short game has been good after spending a session at the Carl Rabito Golf Academy. With better approachs to the green my scores should significantly improve.
I am with you Mike!
I couldn't agree more Mike. I have been wanting to start shooting in the low 70's so this year I have resolved to spend more time on the wedges and the putter. I've had great success already this season with my vokey 64 degree, I've been working on hitting it low into the greens and have been able to attack the pins like never before.
I am definitely with you! Biggest weakness in my game.
Mike, Great decision! More shots are lost within 75 yrads of the green than any other place on the course. I bet that if you looked to inprove your sand game it may save a shot or two a round. the other common mistake is that players always reach for a wedge around the green. Get a bit more creative and keep the ball on the ground if you can. You will be surprised how many stay closer to the hole and some actually go in!
That is totally my goal for the 2013 season. Last year I was able to drive the ball consistently and my iron play was solid but around the greens I just couldn't get it done. I recently purchased a set of new wedges and i'm trying to adjust to them and learn which club to hit at the right time and shot. So yes i'm going to be working very hard this year on my short game to get the ball in that cup!!
Not so fast.
People who have really studied the statistics of golf all conclude that iron play is the key to lower scores. Dr. Mark Broadie, Lou Riccio, Alastair Cochran, and Shotlink all conclude that the difference between pros and the other golfers is GIR and proximity to the hole from the approach shot. Look at the top money winners and scoring leaders and they all are near the top in GIR. When AS was killing everyone, she was 81% GIR which was a good 4-5% higher than anyone else. That's the key. Work on your iron play.
Luckily, Titleist has some swinging good irons.
As Ben Hogan said to someone complaining about their putting, "Why don't you hit it closer to the hole?"
Great idea and plan, Mike!!! Putting... Chipping (fringe)... Pitching (inside 20yds)... Bunker play (around the green). These are just a few things that I've worked on and will continue to practice. Not to mention the 120 yards and in!!! I'm only 5'6" and just drive the ball fairly decent, I have to make it up on the other aspects of my game...
My local nearby course has a small driving range area, 150yds max with two target greens at about 100 and 140. We are allowed to use it as long as you bring your own balls. This is were I practiced a lot last year before taking my PAT, and it helped. My younger son is in school for 2.5 hours... enough time for a quick 9 holes or practicing my short game for the period until my boys get out from school. One just has to find time to practice, working around the schedule our daily lives give.
Hardwork and discipline are what's very important.
Yesterday my wedge play killed my score. Many pitches were too long, a couple too short, and one pulled flop. Also, I need to go down about 2 clubs for chips that land on a lower green. My drives weren't great, but my irons and full wedges were awesome. But anything inside 100 yards was mearly a guess.

Penang Chee Cheong Fun Recipe (Steamed Rice Rolls with Shrimp Paste)
What do I eat when I get very lazy?
A plate of home-made Penang chee cheong fun (click here to see the real stuff), or steamed rice rolls with shrimp paste.
Gourmet Food? No.
Satisfaction? Yes.
Nostalgic? Check.
Certified-fresh, delicious, and hassle-free for lazy bums? Absolutely!
Here are my quick guide to this lazy-person dish…
- Fresh rice rolls — buy it at any Asian stores. Steam it (if you bother) or nuke it in the microwave (highly recommended for lazy people). Cut the rice rolls into bite sizes (as pictured).
- "Hae Ko" (Prawn Paste pictured in the gallery above) — get this thick, dark, gooey (but highly flavorful) sauce at Asian stores. In Southern California, you can get it at Hong Kong supermarket. If you are a Malaysian, smuggle it the next time you come back from Malaysia. Scoop up a spoonful or two and drizzle the sauce sparingly onto the rice rolls. If you want to sweeten the deal, add a teaspoon of Lee Kum Kee hoisin sauce to the shrimp paste and blend well.
- Cooking oil — Add a spoonful to the dish.
- White sesame seeds — Sprinkle generously on top of the rice rolls.
A quick and lazy easy way to feed your hunger!

Ooooo! Mmmmm… I SO missed Penang chee cheong fun! Along with so many other hawker delights. You are definitely making me nostalgic!:)
You make them??? Hahaha…You might already know that I'm a fan of CCF!
rasa malaysia,
Wow! Never thought Chee Cheong Fun is so easy to make. Well done!:)
love penang style ccf! the har kou there nice or not? Some times if the har kou not nice…it really spoils the ccf
Hi RM! First of all, Congratulations on your DMBLGIT success, well done, Gurl!
I use to have fresh chee cheong fun with fishballs and fue pei most mornings for breakfast growing up in KL. These days, I don't see them sold fresh out of the steamer anymore, except at Tim Sum Restaurants, but that's a different style altogether. Miss those days!
Hi Rasa Msia,
Goodness gracious! I really enjoy eating Penang-style chee cheong fun. I only didn't know that it can be THAT easy to make.
Chloe T.
I wish I could get that kind of stuff here :(
Bet u don't only smuggle the prawn paste ..
oh I don't know these things…but your pictures look so nice..it's so white !!! Nice shot ! cheers
Just the way I like steamed CCF, with lots of hae ko. But I don't have a bottle of hae ko with me. :(
Yoyo's Food – thank you. I checked out your blog, everything you made looks soooo delicious. :)
Anh – yep. :)
East meets west kitchen – yes, Penang chee cheong fun is great, with hae ko, but I like the chee cheong fun in KL too with fish balls and foo chuk.
WMW – yes I know…those with fish balls and foo chuk, so good. :)
Kok – it's easy to make if you have off-the-shelf ready made ingredients…I don't know how to make it from scratch though. :P
Ming – good to know…so I guess I won't be going there. ;)
Teckiee – the hae ko I used is made in Penang, so it's pretty good, but of course, not like the real CCF in Penang lah.
4 the love of food – thanks. Oh yeah, when I was studying in KL, I would eat KL-style CCF too because Penang-style was impossible to find. I love the KL version too.
Chloe – again, it's easy to make if you can get ready-made ingredients. ;)
Cynthia – well, even in CA not every store carries the ingredients…you have paradise beaches in Barbados, so I envy you for that. :)
Tummy – of course I smuggled more than the prawn paste…that just goes without saying! LOL.
Claude – yeah, this food is very specific only to Penang.
Tiga – I bet you can find hae ko at the Asian stores in the bay area if you really look, but sorry R99 don't have it. :(
Hey RM! Can you please smuggle some over here to Toronto for me!!! LOL!!
Hmmmmmmm…you are making to droool!!! Really miss "Hae Ko" … can make sooo many yummy things with it … CCF, Assam Laksa, Rojak!!! Boo Hoo … now I am crying … missing all those yummy food!!!
really pitch black sauce , must be really chow heong bee(cannot wash off for 3 days ) & delicious !
rasa malaysia is malaysian martha stewart. she knows a lot of cooking method. only 2 website i went to, either martha or rasa. can you pls tell me how to make malaysian egg tofu? thank you.
Hi from a fellow Malaysian from the Inland Empire! Your blog's awesome, keep the recipes coming :)
http://www.wedeliver.com.my, your local food delivery leader – they have the largest local menus – 400 dishes and more.
if your food look that good in photographs, i can't wait to eating them :)
i truly like the photography!
i love chee cheong fun. it is usually a side dish for me since i don't find a plate filling. i will eat one other dish PLUS chee cheong fun… never chee cheong fun alone.
btw chee cheong fun sold at kopi tiam also consists of chilli sauce and this er… what do you call… hokkien we call it the 'sweet sauce'.
This is exactly what my father would make when feeling lazy as well so I was delighted to see this! Great post and they sound and look delicious!
meleleh air liur babe! thinking abt the ccf esp in this hot and humid weather!
I guess I gotta look harder for hae ko. We made ccf recently but had to sub with oyster sauce.
I have always been amazed at how simple yet so popular this dish is in M"sia. For me at least, it's the yummy taste of the sesame seeds that comes to mind when chi cheong Fun's the topic. Nice shots.
first of all, congrats again for winning 2nd in the food photography contest! i actually like this tomato pic better than the chive one ;p
now, talking bout chee cheong fun, did u hav a fav in penang? i love the macalister lane one (although i hate the styrofoam plates that they tend to use nowadays– they just take away the flavour somehow). my mom has been patronising the couple since her school days would u believe that haha…
Hi am new here, u have really nice blog and interesting!
Tricia Lee-Chin – hae ko totally rocks…the sauce that I used it's actually rojak sauce, all mixed up already with other ingredients. I don't have a pure hae ko though…will have to smuggle the next time so I can make some homemade Assam laksa. :)
The team – new name again?!
Anonymous – wow, Malaysian Martha Stewart, LOL, I would love to do so, but where are my cookbooks deal, TV show, and domestic goods empire? Well, maybe one day. What do you mean by Malaysian egg tofu? You mean though fried egg tofu pieces in some brown sauce? Let me know what you mean.
Anonymous – Thanks and welcome to RM.
Tracy – thanks for your kind words. I am glad you like my food photography.
Lucia – correct, this is always a side dish…not a main dish. Sometimes can even order only one roll, but now I think the hawker won't sell you just for one roll.
Truffle – cool. It always great to have home-made ones.
Princess – you can make them at home…got the rojak sauce or not?
Nate 2.0 – I am not sure if you can get the Shrimp & Boy rojak sauce in NoCal. Even in SoCal, only a few places carry it.
C2 – this is a dish that is really good, surprisingly good and cheap so that's why it's popular. :)
Jun – I love the one on New Lane…not sure about the one on Macalister lane…do you mean by New Lane kopitiam, if so, yes, they are the best. The one in Island Glades Genting kopitiam also good. :)
Lia – welcome and thanks.
Johor CCF also looks similar. It's been a long long time since I ate it.
those sesame seeds… ahhh….
got rojak sauce but very bland one. :(
bean curd with egg. which is bean curd has egg flavor. only at malaysian restaurant you can get it. did you know how to make it? is call yoke chi tofu. jade tofu malaysian called.

I love your sense of humor. Thank you so much for providing such an easy recipes for lazy people like me. By the way, you are definitely an expert in food photography! You are hired!
i love your site so much! Thank you for sharing! I like my Chee Cheong Fun unroll/open up & Sauces separately with no chilli- cos I like to dip each cut rolls into the sauce according to my liking. People said it's so childish-I don't care :D This is the only dish that I don't fancy with chilli.
Another way I enjoyed eating CCF is with Char Bee Hoon – yep… the cheap Char Bee Hoon by the roadside stalls @ Kimberly St. Last but not forgetten, with Curry Mee :-D
I have given up on finding Shrimp paste at Norcal! Anyone help??
Those Penang chee cheong fun looks so yummy. Thank you for sharing your Penang chee cheong fun recipe.
Looking for the recipe how to make Ipoh chee cheong fun… has anybody eaten that ? So yummy! wish you could help!
Bee, love your blog!!!! :) It's given me endless fun in the kitchen and lotsa new ideas!!!! I love this chee cheong fun! We have the shrimp and boy rojak sauce here in australia, is that all that's needed? If we were to mix it with the hoisin sauce, doesnt the mixture need to be cook first, is not its considered 'raw'? Also do you have the recipe for making the 'sweet sauce' that they have in Malaysia when they serve it with CCF? Thanks sooo much again for your blog!! Looking forward to more new and exciting recipes!!! :)
Best ccf stall in Penang is at Macalister Lane run by old couple from 7:30-12:3pm. After that, you can get it at a stall in Suncity Cafe, Fettes Park opposite Island Plaza operated by the old couples daughter. That one is open from 12:30-3:00pm and 5:30 to 11:00pm.
So Bee, your bro CK can now take tourists there at night for the best ccf in Penang if he doesn't know already.
The ccf I had in KL long ago was with watery curry with sesame seeds and fish balls. Quite nice.
Wonder what ccf (opened) will taste like with thick chicken curry/potatoes gravy.
Hi, had the cheer cheong fun recipe been taken off your site as unable to find it. Would appreciate your help add it looks so yummy and want to give it a go. Would appreciate your help.

Hi: 11° Lo:5°
By Kevin Unitt Thursday 08 November 2012 Updated: 15/11 10:36
PLANS to turn the former home of a Leamington community centre into 28 new apartments have been given the green light despite scores of objections.
The application for the Old Library on Avenue Road – which had been home to Bath Place Community Venture for two years until a site sale forced the organisation to move out last month – was debated by Warwick District Council's planning committee on Tuesday night (November 6) and passed by a majority of nine votes to one.
The plan will see the grade-two listed buildings converted into 28 new apartments as well as introducing 43 car parking spaces and demolishing an atrium to create a central courtyard plus a new private garden.
But hundreds of local residents and supporters of Bath Place, which had used the building on a peppercorn rent after fire destroyed its previous home, submitted official objections to the plans.
More than 300 letters complained over the loss of the community facility and said site owners, Warwickshire College, should have allowed Bath Place time to raise funds for an alternative home.
A further 1,000 people signed a protest petition handed in to the council ahead of the meeting.
Warwick and Leamington MP Chris White also weighed in to register his objections after previously mentioning Bath Place in the House of Commons amid a debate on the 'Big Society'.
Bosses of the venture have called plans for the Old Library "grotesque".

Explore the Largest Volume of NASA Patches � Order Online and Get Free Shipping
A-B Emblem is the official supplier of all NASA mission patches. NASA patches are by far some of the most recognized and celebrated embroidered insignia in American history. With a long-standing relationship spanning over 50 years, A-B Emblem has been designing and producing the US Space Program patches for NASA since the "Meatball" in 1961, and sending them into space since Apollo 14 in 1971.
Space Shuttle Patches
As the official contractor to NASA for the creation of NASA patches, A-B Emblem has provided mission and special patches to the astronauts for the entire Space Shuttle Program. Beginning in 1981, and including all missions of the shuttle fleet � Atlantis, Discovery, Endeavor, Challenger, and Columbia � A-B Emblem has proudly remained the official supplier, providing mission identification to the many shuttle astronauts, until the last mission STS-135 in 2011.
Expedition Patches
The International Space Station was developed in a global collaborative effort to establish a laboratory, observatory and factory in low Earth orbit. The ISS has provided, since its first resident crew, Expedition 1 in November 2000, a safe space environment in which to conduct scientific research and test spacecraft systems for future missions, as well as many educational opportunities for students on Earth. Expedition 1 was the first long-term stay on the ISS, with the three member crew staying 136 days, beginning a new era of uninterrupted human presence in space. Each Expedition has been identified and commemorated with its own mission patch, which A-B Emblem still proudly stitches in its North Carolina factory.
Space Shuttle Special Patches
During the long reign of the Space Shuttle as our means to explore space and learn about life on our planet and in our solar system, there were occasions to commemorate an achievement or tragedy. From the 20th anniversary, the 25th, the 30th, the 100th mission, the first teacher in space, John Glenn's amazing return to space, the tragedy of STS-107, to the Final Mission and the journeys to their resting locations, these A-B Emblem patches have the history of the shuttles immortalized in embroidery.
Mercury Program Patches
Initiated in 1958 by the newly created space agency, NASA, Project Mercury was the United States' first man-in-space program. The objectives of the program, which made six manned flights from 1961 to 1963, were specific: to orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth, to investigate man's ability to function in space, and to recover both man and spacecraft safely. In 1961 Alan Shepard became the first American in suborbital flight in space, followed by John Glenn, the first American to reach orbit in 1962. Named for the Roman god Mercury, the distinctive Mercury program insignia combines the symbol of Mercury and the number seven, for the seven brave Mercury astronauts.
Gemini Program
Following the success of the Mercury Program, the next step for NASA was to test and prepare spacecraft and astronaut capable of landing man on the moon. The Gemini program ran from 1962-1966, with 10 manned flights that laid the groundwork for Apollo, challenging the Gemini astronauts with long duration flights, rendezvous and docking with another vehicle, and extra-vehicular activity. NASA named the program Gemini, which means twins or double in Latin and is the zodiac sign for the twin stars, Castor and Pollox, which are represented in the Gemini program insignia.
Apollo Program Patches
The Apollo Program achieved the national goal as set by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, of ""landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s. The first manned flight of Apollo was in 1968, and the space race to the moon was won by the US on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed their Lunar Module on the moon. Five Apollo missions that followed also landed on the moon, 12 astronauts walked on the lunar surface, and the last Apollo mission was in December 1972.The majority of Apollo astronauts were chosen from the Project Mercury and Gemini veterans, and all missions were commanded by Gemini or Mercury veterans. The Greek god Apollo, who drove the sun across the sky with his chariot every day, is represented in the face of the moon on the Apollo program insignia.
SkyLab Program
Skylab was the first orbiting space station for the USA, and it circled the Earth from 1973 to 1979. There were three manned missions to the station using Apollo and Saturn transport, and many scientific studies and experiments were conducted in the Skylab station. The three crews that lived on Skylab resided in space for the longest durations up to that time, leading to many improvements in quality of life for longer stays in orbit.
Special Patches Embroidered Patches
Over the years there have been many space-related special events, programs and developments commemorated in embroidery. Starting with the original NASA insignias, affectionately known as the Meatball, the Vector, and the Worm, and spanning the years of incredible research and development that resulted in Hubble, Curiosity Rover, MIR, Voyager, and the Manned Maneuvering Unit to name a few; all accomplishments that deserve their own place in NASA patch history. A-B Emblem also creates patches that identify the space agencies of many nationalities and their flags, as well as creative collages celebrating whole programs.
