Survive and Advance: Improve Sales & Marketing with Webcasting
Over a wild four days of non-stop collegiate hoops action last week, the 1st two rounds of the annual NCAA Basketball Tournament took place. Within hours of the tournament getting underway, the "brackets" of thousands and thousands of engaged fans had already been busted, as lower-seeded longshots such as UAB and Georgia St. knocked off much more highly regarded powerhouses like Iowa St. and Baylor. Days later, the 1st of four #1 seeds went down, as N.C. State upended Villanova and then always competitive (but much lower seeded) Michigan St. Spartans sent home the #2 seed Virginia Cavaliers.read more

Corporate Video Production Tips from Across the Pond
When producing videos for consumption on an enterprise platform, there certainly is no mandate that professional production crews need to be contracted in order to create a presentable product. With the advances in smartphone technology, surprisingly high quality video can be shot from a device that fits into one's pocket. However, despite all the great technology in the world, without a little consideration and planning, the message of a video can quickly get lost because of sloppy production value.read more

Belly Dance and Free Software
The San Francisco Bay Area is a hotbed of innovative technological development and a crucible for the growth of performance arts. One art that thrives in the progressive creative environment of the region is the belly dance. From elegant performers draped in bead-encrusted costumes dancing in upscale restaurants to the colorful, turban-bedecked entertainers at Renaissance festivals and street fairs, for more than 100 years belly dancers have shimmied their way into every strata of contemporary pop culture.
Middle Eastern dance arrived in the United States in the last quarter of the 19th century, appearing in cultural exhibits at various World's Fairs. Little Egypt was the first dancer to garner fame and prestige while performing at the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago. Her amazing performances were so popular that the entertainment director of the fair, impresario Sol Bloom, hyped her in advertising with his newly coined term, belly dance.
Although more formally known as Middle Eastern dance, the slang term belly dance persists, encompassing a range of styles from traditional ethnic forms, including the Egyptian Raks Sharki, Arabic for "dance of the east", to the highly stylized American Tribal Style and experimental Raks Gothique techniques. Each method is defined by its own unique blend of music, costume and movement vocabulary.
From motion pictures to MTV videos, on television sitcoms and even at local ethnic restaurants, belly dancers are highly sought-after entertainers. Therefore, working belly dancers require professional-grade IT tools to meet their publicity needs with style and panache. Audiences and potential clients have become more sophisticated, demanding a higher degree of polish and professionalism.
Gone are the days when a simple 8" x 10" black-and-white glossy photo served as a dancer's complete marketing package. Teachers need a way to get the word out about classes and performances. Professional dancers have to advertise their skills, services and show times. With the right tools, dancers can develop their own marketing packages. Today's advertising needs include business cards, flyers and Web sites.
Dancers now use computers for their own unique set of needs in marketing, music and sometimes also video. Like emergent innovation in dance in the Bay Area, GNU/Linux and other free software truly invite exploration.
This article is based on our collaborations with several Bay Area belly dancers and a digital photography workflow that is done entirely with GNU/Linux software. We describe two example successes using free software tools for belly dance marketing applications. In addition, we explore some really interesting intersections of free software and belly dance, both as an art and as a business. The sense of community, as in GNU/Linux community, has apparent parallels with the dance community. To contextualize this topic further, we talked with several professional dancers to get their take on the role of technology in their art and in their woman-owned businesses. One example was Michell Joyce, who says, "I really believe that my Web site is responsible for my professional dance career."
Challenges also are present in dance business promotion, where content also needs to educate. Amy Luna Manderino says of her dance group Shuvani, "Although our talents are diverse, they are all connected through Shuvani, in which we perform Romani music and dance from India, Turkey, Egypt and Spain. The biggest challenge is educating the public about the Roma (Gypsy) Trail. Many people are unaware that Gypsies are an ethnic community with a rich cultural heritage....That's always the challenge when you produce something in an artistic medium that hasn't been seen before, you have to educate people on the concept."

mp3 is alredy the defacto standard for cd-ripping.
Heh. Maybe it was a few years ago, but it's been several years since I encoded a MP3.
You've failed to understand that the most common use for CD ripping is so that the person who is doing the ripping, can listen to the music. Most of the time, when you encode, you don't care whether or not someone else can listen to the result. You just care if you can.
So just about everyone is free to use the best tool for the job, that they know of. That's why MP3 pretty much died and Ogg took over about two years ago.
In my observation, Real is just another MS Borg type operation - they don't want to give you generalized utilities and leave you alone to make the decisions - they want to own internet audio, eliminate all other choices, lock everyone in and collect data on them.
For me and audio, it's been WINAMP all the way for years. Elegance, flexibility, extesibility and ease of use. It whips the Real Llama's posterior. But I am worried that AOL will spoil Winamp (CRINGE "You've Got Audio!"

Some say Wisconsin lottery hasn't lived up to billing
APPLETON, Wis. (AP) — Twenty-five years after the Wisconsin Lottery sold its first ticket, the game has generated $3.5 billion in property tax relief.
Lottery officials say they're pleased with that figure, but others say the lottery hasn't lived up to the lofty predictions that were tossed around when state residents first voted to authorize the game.

One candidate to replace Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer reportedly has several strategies in mind, most of which come from his days running Nokia, which Microsoft has acquired, as well as his time as a Microsoft executive. Sources say Stephen Elop would allow Office software to be available beyond Windows PCs and devices and would integrate it into Apple and Google devices. He also would make cuts to the Microsoft workforce and streamline business units, according to reports.

I was also really into his show on discovery. It really showed a different side of him that was very entertaining. This one really also has me most depressed than the others. He was really just beginning to enjoy the fruits of his life's labors. He glamorized the art of product pitching and seemed to enjoy what he did. I would say Anthony Sullivan is now the best in the biz. Vince is a one hit wonder so far.

Geithner Plans to Remain on the Job Through Most of 2012
**Written by Doug Powers
Late in 2009, President Obama graded himself "solid B-plus," and it turns out that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner isn't going anywhere until he's helped get America a credit rating to match.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has told President Obama he plans to remain in his job through the fall of 2012, keeping in place Obama's longest-serving economic adviser after the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade and renewed fears of a second recession.
Geithner told the president Friday that he would remain in his post. Hours later, he had to go to the White House to meet with Obama again and tell him the nation would likely lose its triple-A credit rating.
"Secretary Geithner has let the president know that he plans to stay on in his position at Treasury," Treasury spokeswoman Jenni LeCompte said in a statement. "He looks forward to the important work ahead on the challenges facing our great country."
White House press secretary Jay Carney said: "The president asked Secretary Geithner to stay on at Treasury and welcomes his decision."
Geithner was asked why he doesn't quit and get a job elsewhere, and he replied, "In this economy?" Just kidding. The real reason is that he's the only guy who remembers the password to the Turbo QE3 software.
The master of finance who has so successfully assisted President Obama in boosting the national debt by more than $3 trillion, driving unemployment back north of 9% by spending only $787 billion in stimulus funds, corroding consumer confidence and presiding over the first federal credit downgrading in history has agreed to stick around to continue his impressive work for this Democratic administration.
I thought maybe the president would let Geithner go in an attempt to buy himself a little time when it comes to "turning around" the economy, but in hindsight doing so would imply Treasury, and ergo the administration, was at least partly at fault for the S&P flap, which would extinguish the Dems' "Tea Party downgrade" fire. Geithner might not have been allowed to leave even if he wanted to.

On Tuesday, we celebrated the number three! The number three is a popular number. Can you name a shape that has three sides?
The month of March is known for coming in like a Lion or coming in like a Lamb. The weather on Tuesday was like a lamb, but we still celebrated the lively lion! We began our storytime by talking about real lions you can find at the zoo. A zoo is a safe place to watch giant cats. We also talked about places where different animals live in the world.
Today at storytime we talked about stripes! You can wear stripes on your socks, your shirt or your pants. You can see stripes and patterns all over nature. Can you name some animals with stripes? We talked about zebras, tigers and a flamingo named Sylvie. Some stripes are silly while other stripes are serious. One of our serious and honored stripes are those found on our Grand Old Flag. Our flag has white and red stripes in honor of the first thirteen colonies. The flag also has a pattern of fifty stars for each of the states in America.
Today's storytime theme revolved around spots and dots! Are you wearing spots or dots today? Yes? Congratulations! NO? Quick! Get your circle stickers! Now, you can enjoy a full day of spots and dots. The authors we enjoyed today were Sarah C.
Last Wednesday, Miss Pippi got the opportunity to visit friends at After School Matters. What a grand day to visit friends!

I'm trying to find some metric frame General Motors mid size coupes, 81-87, mainly Oldsmobile cutlass to use for building a dirt stock car, IMCA type. I've done some searching and haven't had much luck. any help would be appreciated. I'd also like to find some factory type front wheel drive bodies for the same purpose, such as Lumina, Monte Carlo, Cutlass, 88-95 Grand Prix, and Regal.
Here are pics of the cars I would like to try and model:

Originally written on Reading Between The Seams | Last updated 11/19/14
Did you know Kansas City Royals, Jeff Francoeur, has landed the leading role on the Rifleman? Probably, because of that lethal weapon he showed last night in the Atlanta/KC game. There were two outs in the inning with the score tied at 2, a routine flyball was hit to right-center field with Atlanta Braves, Andrelton Simmons on the move from first, center fielder, Lorenzo Cain, somehow dropped ball to end the inning. As Andrelton Simmons was rounding third base, The Rifleman did what every smart ballplayer does, back up your teammate just in case. Take a look to see what happened to poor Andrelton Simmons. Though it saved a run and the Royals got out of the inning. Atlanta ended up winning 6-3 as they belted out 3 home runs in the 8th inning to extend their winning streak to 10.

9 Eco-Friendly Kitchen Ideas
Give your kitchen a green makeover with these eco-friendly tips.
Designers and experts share insight on materials, products and designs that are perfect for outfitting an eco-friendly kitchen.
Bamboo According to housewares expert Gus Dallas, the latest in environmentally friendly kitchens includes fast-growing bamboo. The material makes great cutting boards and it can also be used for backsplashes and flooring.
Scrap wood IKEA kitchen designer Martha Saldumbide says, "Where we can spare the environment, we do. We use a lot of scrap wood. It's the wood that nobody else wants but it's still really good hard wood."
Lighting To cut down on lighting costs, try using fluorescents. They cut energy use by 50 percent. Whenever possible, use natural light to brighten up your kitchen and bring down your electrical bill.
Cork This renewable resource is made from the bark off a tree. It's also sound-absorbing, hypoallergenic and resistant to mold and mildew, making it an excellent choice for kitchens.
Recycled stone-chipped composite countertops These countertops resemble granite and are just as durable.
Top and bottom freezer/refrigerator units These are more energy-efficient than side-by-side models because not as much cold air escapes. Not sure if your fridge can pass the eco-friendly test? Shut the door on a dollar bill — if it slides out easily then it's a sign the seal needs to be replaced.
Recyling stations This handy recycling stations pulls out for easy access. Other recyling cabinets are set on wheels so they can be moved wherever needed.
Convection ovens This type of oven uses a fan to drive heat rapidly from source to food so it cooks it 25 percent faster than a conventional oven.
Natural fabrics Choose cotton or wool for your dining chairs and window dressings since man-made fabrics are made with chemicals that harm the environment.

Western NY trees under attack by Gypsy Moth catepillars
Our local WIVB tv station just did a story on this. Apparently this year's infestation is pretty bad.They don't have the video up on their website yet, but here is an article on it.
"There are options against gypsy moths"
With Allegany State Park officials spraying about 3,000 acres of forest to help control gypsy moth caterpillars, homeowners are starting to see defoliation from the ravenous insects in their own backyards.
What can homeowners do to save their ornamental trees and other trees in their yards? It depends.
Brian Bullard, director of operations at the Jamestown office of Forecon, a forestry consultant, said the company is nearly finished with the aerial spraying of thousands of acres of forest in Cattaraugus and Allegany counties with an organic biological BT agent called Foray 48b.
"This is the first year of a buildup of the gypsy moth caterpillars," Bullard recently told the Olean Times Herald. "Preparations for spraying a vast majority of the forests started last fall with foresters counting egg masses."
It's different for residential properties, which are often in cities and other areas where aerial application to control gypsy moth caterpillars would be very difficult.
"It's very difficult as a homeowner to slow them down once they are out and actively feeding," Bullard said.
Back in the 1980s, when gypsy moth caterpillars last defoliated parts of Western New York from 1985 to 1987, "Landowners would wrap burlap or 'sticky foot' around their trees," he said.
The caterpillars often go up and down the tree, preferring the cool ground at night.
"You catch some this way, but it's really a Band-Aid fix to a larger problem," Bullard said.
The tactic may work for individual trees or new plantings, he added.
But what about sprays?
Bullard said the organic product sprayed from planes is generally not available for homeowner use. There are over-the-counter products like Sevin, which is an insecticide that may be used.
"You have to be careful in the application," Bullard said. "Read the label. It is labeled against use in some areas because honey bees can take it back to a hive and kill all the bees in the hive."
He suggested asking knowledgeable staff at landscape and garden stores for advice, knowing there isn't a lot one can do in their backyard to fight an infestation.
"We can expect to see sporadic areas of defoliation, from light defoliation to moderate and heavy defoliation," Bullard said. "Under normal conditions, a forest can survive defoliation and re-leaf. However, a lot of forests were defoliated by forest tent caterpillars from 2007 to 2010. Then we've had drought conditions for the last couple of years.
"There is a lot of stress on individual forests."
He said with moisture levels much closer to normal this year, the stressed trees will be healthier and better able to withstand the gypsy moth caterpillar.
In high-risk stands where the trees remain stressed, however, there is the potential for heavy defoliation from this hatch of gypsy moth caterpillars.
Rick Miller, Special to The Salamanca Press
I hate those things! Gypsy moths killed some 75% of the oaks in parts of south-central PA if I remember right about a decade ago. Here in OH they seem spotty, a few areas in NE Ohio got hit in the mid-90s but most trees seemed to recover.
Haven't seen much around here in Columbus lately. It seems the infestations "move around" each year.
Interesting. The gypsy moths around here have been decimated by the introduced fungus -- haven't seen a one in many yrs (around 2004 IIRC). However, they haven't been eliminated everywhere. The parasitic fungus works better in relatively moist conditions -- dry weather reduces its effectiveness on the caterpillars.
I recall a "patch" of utter defoliation for many miles around Lynchburg, VA back in the early 1990s. Whole mountainsides of the MD Blue-Ridge were defoliated in the 1980s.
Joe, I've seen parts of the PA turnpike where a bunch of large trees are nothing but dead snags. Since most appear to be oaks, my guess is they mostly died from gypsy moth infestation.
Introduced fungus? Didn't hear about that, beng.
Hopefully we can "introduce" a lethal fungus to the EAB too.
The GW Search engine did not send me to the numerous postings some of us have written in years past. Too bad as lots of interesting gypsy moth data is lost. This question has come from Western New York where I suspect residents are being updated. My suggestion would be to contact Cornell U. for the latest reports on the fungus Entomophage maimaiga which is being tested in the upper mid-west with success over the past few years. Further suggest that this contact be made through the Geneva Experiment Station in Geneva, NY (a division of Cornell) as I have found the staff there helpful directing me to the best sources.
As to the question of what the average homeowner can do to protect trees.....etc. Two thoughts:
1. The old method of using burlap and Tanglefoot (easily ordered on line if not available in your stores does help in the early stages of the infestation. You want the thick, gooey type, not the spray-on variety of Tanglefoot. I prefer to use several widths of blue painter's tape side by side rather than burlap. It is easy to apply and coat using a tongue depressor with Tanglefoot, easy to remove and replace when needed with no harm to tree bark.
2. The gypsy moth battle involves everyone in town. The first step is to have an expert appear on the local news and write articles teaching how to identify the tan/yellow egg cases that the female moth lays at the base of trees and underneath everything such as woodpiles, kids swing seats, porch overhangs, etc. usually within a height of 3-4 feet from the ground. Every homeowner should be watching for these egg cases and should receive instructions on how to remove and destroy them. Egg cases are scraped off with a putty knife into a container and then the spot where the case is removed is painted with a bit of winter strength dormant oil. This is an old time method and if a suburban community will turn out in late summer/fall seeking and destroying the egg cases, each in his own neighborhood, it really makes a difference. A good Scout project. A great family project. Well worth the effort to coordinate.
Good thoughts, nandina. I disagree though with one detail; At least in my neck of the woods, the egg masses can be found quite high up on a tree's trunk or branches. I'd say twenty five or thirty feet up is not uncommon. Of course, they can be found lower too, as in the three to four feet you cite.
When infestation is high, the undersides of branches of favored species like oaks can really harbor a lot of egg masses.
Another successful strategy is the oiling of these egg masses. This would be done any time from late summer of the year they were laid right up until the following spring. We use blue dye in our mix to aid in seeing what you've coated, and what you haven't.
The first year we did this, we thought it didn't work. As the weather warmed, we could actually see the eggs getting more swollen as the critters inside developed. What we didn't know then is that until this stage, the oxygen requirements of the developing larvae are so low that they don't succumb. But once they do begin to develop, they quickly run out of air (From the oil coating) and then die. You can really do a lot of good with this relatively efficient technique.
One word of advice though; Wear your oldest, most beat-up clothes for oiling egg masses. Inevitably, you will get the oil on yourself. It's just soybean oil and an emulsifier, so harmless enough, but it will ruin clothes.
On the low egg masses you can reach, it is great fun to zap them with a propane torch. You can hear the eggs pop like popcorn. Please don't try this on young, thin barked trees.
Some people hang the burlap around the trunk without tanglefoot. When the caterpillars come down out of the canopy for the daylight hours they will hide under the burlap, and you can just squish them...very messy, and some people develop a skin reaction to the hairs of the caterpillar, but it is effective without chemicals or sticky tanglefoot.
A few additional thoughts to add to my other comments. I first met the gypsy moth on an island off the New England coast about 1947. It was a bright, sunny day with no breeze and the only sounds were the caterpillars chewing on scrub oak leaves plus other native trees. The sight and sound of that defoliated island is something I still remember. Since then I have dealt with the moth numerous times before moving south about 1979. Guess I am behind the times. Back then we seldom found egg cases higher than 4 feet from the ground which leads me to wonder, based on information above, if the egg laying females have adapted better survival techniques? Interesting thought.
It is very difficult to control unwanted insects as they are transported quickly around the country concealed on vehicles. RV's are a common source, often on the move and parked for periods of time. Lots of underneath hiding space in which to conceal the gypsy moth female laying egg masses while the RV travels 'down the road'.
Now, if only we could manipulate a few genes in the gypsy moth to turn it into a kudzu only eating machine........

Fruit Ninja Kinect
How long has Kinect been out? Forever, that's how long, and in all that time we've only had about four or five half-decent games for Microsoft's motion control add-on. The emphasis there is on 'half-decent', and that's not to cast aspersions on those games but on how disappointing-to-terrible the rest of the library has been thus far. With gaming's sad history with peripherals I'm not surprised.
Except E3 has come and gone and now Microsoft has thrown everything behind Kinect, bandying around its inclusion within a number of core titles like Mass Effect, Ghost Recon, and Madden. All well and good, but many a humble plebian like myself have bemoaned the lack of games shown that were designed to fit Kinect, converse to those that Kinect was seemingly bent to fit. So maybe it's with humble pie that I find myself praising a Kinect game that was adapted from an iOS precursor.
The thing is that Fruit Ninja Kinect somehow feels like it was born for Kinect, and even though it's not the most spectacular game it only serves to convince me further of my position, no matter how paradoxical and contradictory it sounds. Kinect has not been bent to fit it; it just fits Kinect. I'll quickly admit that calling the game unspectacular demeans it unfairly; it is certainly a lot of fun.
As the name suggests, the concept is simple. Fruit flies across the screen, and using your arms you slash through your five-a-day before they hit the ground. Extra points are doled out for multiple hits with one slash, while bombs are to be avoided at all costs. In the arcade mode there are occasional banana power-ups, like a Frenzy banana that when slashed fills the screen with vitamin-y goodness, and an Ice Banana that slows the fruit's movement mid-air, making it easier to hit those multiples.
A party game must primarily be simple and intuitive, and without doubt Fruit Ninja Kinect is both of those. Even in its little nuances, like putting together big multiples by combining different power-ups in the arcade mode, are not difficult concepts to grasp. It cannot be understated how much it helps that the game's Kinect integration feels like a match made in heaven. While swipes can at times be a little imprecise it doesn't really matter, the fruit are big enough on screen and the swipes thick enough that the game is rewarding in spite of any clumsiness. The visualization of your 'shadow' across the background makes it easy to get a general idea of where your swipes will hit on-screen.
It's also not too precious about hitting a bomb; you really need to be hitting it dead-on to get penalized. In the more stamina-based main mode that's important, but it's the frenetic quick-fire Arcade and Zen modes that provide the most fun. Also, both two-player co-operative and competitive play are decent, although if your Kinect space is quite narrow like mine is then you might find yourself suffering a swiped arm or three.
Fruit Ninja Kinect falls short of greatness, however, because of a few factors. For one, for its price it's a little too limited in terms of different modes. Two of the modes' games are over within 60-90 seconds, and this means the novelty can wear thin rather quickly.
It also doesn't help that the Arcade mode is more about luck than skill. Power-ups are doled out randomly, and when the three different power-ups come together it's very easy to quickly rack up the points. This, however, is quite a rare occurrence. If it was more common the mode might feel more worthwhile with repeated plays.
Meanwhile the main mode, in which the aim is to last as long as possible by not hitting any bombs and making sure to nor miss any fruit, can feel a little slow when there's a big high score to beat. The counter to this stagnancy is the Challenge Mode, in which the game sets goals for you based on your current scores and your friends' across the various modes.
Despite the flaws in the game design, Fruit Ninja Kinect wins through because of how the main thrust or indeed swipe or slash of its play integrates with Microsoft's motion controls. Could this be the start of more games making the transition from iOS to Kinect? As much as the idea of reading out a dialogue command in Mass Effect 3 really excites me, I do hope so for Kinect's sake.

What would you do if lilies were in your new asparagus?
bagsmom(7)April 12, 2010
I thought I was planting in a fairly empty area when I made my asparagus bed. I just planted the asparagus roots this March.
I'm seeing some Asian lilies popping up in there.
Should I try to move them? Or leave well enough alone? Can they co-exist peacefully and pretty-ly?
What would you do?
Well, I hate asparagus...so...I'd vote to keep the lilies!
LOL (That didn't help much, huh?)
Others will probably have 'way better advice, but I have to say I think it's great when you can have veggies mixed in with ornamental stuff. The only thing is being careful what types of products and fertilizers you might use, right?

America's next saint, St. Junípero Serra
America's next saint will be the man who evangelized California and is associated with the beginnings of Los Angeles.
OneLife LA and 9 Days for Life
I am looking forward to Saturday's OneLife LA celebration.
This will be a day of family and friendship in celebration of the beauty and dignity of every human life — from conception to natural death.
Archbishop calls Serra sainthood 'moment of grace'
In a press conference earlier today on the airplane to the Philippines, Pope Francis announced that he intends to canonize Blessed Junípero Serra, OFM, when he comes to the United States next September. This is great news and I am very happy about it. We are grateful to our Holy Father Pope Francis for this gift to California and the Americas.
'We Are One Family Under God'
For more than 25 years now, the United States Catholic bishops have recognized the first week of every new year as National Migration Week. This is intended to remind us that America is a nation of immigrants and that the Church in America is a Church of immigrants. I worry sometimes that we are forgetting this. But it is true.
A year of new discovery and new dedication
Merry Christmas! I hope that you and your families had a wonderful Christmas.
Christmas and the love of God
Jesus came into this world as a child, vulnerable and dependent.
Mercy is the measure of our love
Mercy is at the heart of the Gospel and at the heart of our identity as Christians. Jesus came to show us God's mercy and he is calling us to follow him in showing mercy to others.
OneLife LA — and a challenge for Advent
Advent is a season of mercy. The mercy of God is the great theme running through the first stories of Jesus' coming. In her Magnificat, Mary sings: "His mercy is from age to age." Zechariah, father of St. John the Baptist, sings: "The tender mercy of our God … will visit us."
Statement on the announcement of presidential executive orders on immigration
I am happy that some temporary relief is being offered to help parents and children who right now are living in daily fear that their families will be broken up by arrests and deportations. But the President's actions today are no substitute for the comprehensive immigration reform our nation needs.
Archbishop Gomez on immigration and the next America
Many of us have forgotten our immigrant roots. But our Church has always been a Church of immigrants, as our nation has always been a nation of immigrants. In earlier generations, we welcomed newcomers from every nation in Europe. Today, we are still welcoming newcomers — but now they come from Latin America, Asia, Oceania and Africa.

Out of Africa
Connecting the dots for why you should celebrate Kwanzaa at the Denver Zoo is as easy as an urban African safari -- which is exactly what event organizers have in mind for the celebration that starts tonight. "Making cultural connections," explains event coordinator Megan Woodcock. "We have so many African animals here, so what better way to help people make the connection than by celebrating Kwanzaa here?" As in years past, she says, activities will include storytelling and an African dance and drum-ensemble performance at Norgren Hall. And, of course, all evening the entire zoo will be lit up holiday-style, with many concession stands serving up warm snacks and drinks to kill the chill.
Kwanzaa at the Denver Zoo will be celebrated starting around 6:30 p.m. every night from December 26 through December 30. Admission is $9 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $5 for kids eleven and under. For a complete list of activities at the zoo, 2300 Steele Street, go to www.denverzoo.org/zoolights/events.

Sitio espectacular. Como en casa.
Great house and the view is amazing.
Juergen was a great host, took good care of us and let us use the house as if we actually lived there with him.
It was amazing.
Thanks a lot for the espressos :)
This house is spacious and have a good location up the hill close to all you facilities you will need. The host Juergen is super helpful and friendly and will make your stay easier. This host is highly recommended from all 4 of us!
Great host nice house in pupukea
Wow, what a special place to stay! Juergen is very kind, and his house overlooking the ocean is spectacular. I saw humpback whales jumping in the distance, and Chameleons climbing on the trees. If you are interested in visiting the North Shore, this a wonderful way to do it. The house works perfectly as a starting point for many fun North Shore activities, and there is a Foodland just down the street! Thanks Juergen :)
An amazing place in an incredible location right in the middle of the North Shore of Oahu!! It is the perfect place from which to explore the island and to view the famous waves!! Juergen is a very friendly and accommodating host and the room was perfect and the house amazing!! Unfortunately we did not meet him as he was away but he arranged everything for us to enter his house and our stay was perfect! There is a Foodland supermarket at the bottom of the road which is very convenient. The room was a good size and the double bed very comfortable! We highly recommend this place!!
Juergen was a very nice host, and his place was spatious and comfortable. We stayed for two days and got unlucky weather, so it was nice to have a relaxing living room kick back in. Juergen was actually not home very much. I believe he was just starting to rent the place out again, so he had bought new sheets, towels etc. The kitchen hadn't been used in a while, and there was a bit of dust and such around, otherwise, it was tidy enough and we were happy with our stay.

flow through and lid
I finally built a 55 gallon barrel flow through bin, in essence copying Eric's design.
The question now is do I put the lid on? Or do I leave the lid out? I have a pretty tight lid and I feel like I am suffocating the worms if I put the lid on even though they probably get a lot of oxygen from the bottom.
Experiece folks, please advise.
Hello. I actually copied the design from a couple other people, mine was only different in that I used conduit for the grate. If I built another one of these I wouldn't saw the lid off. The barrel loses it's round structure and gets oval shaped. I would rather cut a door out on top of the lid. Since my non-fitting lid is cumbersome, I just have the whole barrel covered in an old comforter. Also, I am renting and I don't need the landlord asking me why I have a blue plastic barrel full of paper and dirt in my porch. Anyway, unless your lid is air tight, there should be plenty of air flow through the barrel.
Thanks for the reply, Eric. As I was rereading my original post, there were many spelling errors. Oh, well.
At any rate, the 55 gallon drum I bought came with plastic lid that closes the bin. It also came with a extra band that seals the lid immensely tight.
I will never use the extra band. However, I wondered if I could use the plastic lid. I made this bin on Sunday and I have been using large cardboard as a lid. Since this cardboard lid doesn't seal completely, it left some air pockets on top.
Is it safe enough to use the plastic lid as a lid without worrying about air flow problem? Is the air coming from the bottom provide enough oxygen for the bin?
since it is air tight, I would worry about the air not flowing through the whole system. Maybe drill some holes in the lid. For several months I actually laid some cardboard over the top and put the lid on that. Once it got mildew on it, I would tear it up for bedding and find a new piece.

Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
15 Oct 2013 09:07 GMT | Politics, Africa, Niger, Nigeria
The London-based rights group Amnesty International is seeking an investigation into the alleged deaths of hundreds of people in detention facilities during a crackdown on Muslim groups in Nigeria, saying it has evidence.
In a report on Tuesday, the organisation said that "credible information" from a senior Nigerian army officer indicated that more than 950 people suspected of having links to Boko Haram died in military custody in the first six months of this year.
Boko Haram, an armed group, wants to topple the Nigerian government and impose an Islamic state, and has been responsible for thousands of deaths.
Amnesty International said prisoners had been suffocated, starved and subjected to extra-judicial killings in the army-led operation in the country's northeast.
It said senior Ministry of Defence officials had not responded to written details about soldiers on April 19 depositing 60 bodies at the main hospital mortuary in Damaturu, the Yobe state capital, claiming they were killed in a shootout.
But a source told Amnesty International they were detainees taken from their cells and shot.
It said other detainees have suffocated and starved to death in horrendous conditions.
The Nigerian army has consistently rejected accusations of human-rights abuses.

Hi Native:
We are in Conneaut at Conneaut Human Resources Center on Mill St. Depending on when you lived here it used to be a Lawbash store. We also have another in the harbor near the lift bridge. I helped get another one started in Jefferson.
Come back home and look us up.
