Reviews | |
Two years in the making, the latest from Melbourne's Curse Ov Dialect shows once again how the Aussies (namely COD and Macromantics) are kicking hip-hop ass in the innovation department. With MC's Raceless, Atarungi, August 2 and Vulk Makedonski surrounding the generated sounds from DJ Paso Bionic, the multiculti aspect these guys put in the forefront on their last album gets kicked up a notch here; it's such a whirlwind tour of the world of sounds you almost throw up, but at no point do you sense a loss of focus or get the impression you're being tossed esoteric shapes for the sake of forced eclectism. Flowing rhymes and scratches complement Muslimgauze-ish beats, baroque horns, kid choruses and operatic flights, Bollywood cooing, Balkan horn blasts all presented in sharp precision appropriate to the assorted lyrics (which focus, needless to say, on worldly diversity/cultural unity). It's really admirable that all this can be presented with total energy and cohesiveness while *still* acknowledging all that is right about hip-hop history. The fact these guys have namedropped the Boredoms in interviews probably speaks volumes as well. - WMFU |

Sarah Dayton, a native of New Haven, Connecticut, married Joel Thorpe about 1792. They and their 3 young children traveled from Connecticut by ox team to Ashtabula County, Ohio in 1799. Another child was born within the year.
In June, the father was absent at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to obtain supplies for the family. He was detained by unexpectedly heavy rains which made the bridgeless streams impassable. During his absence the poverty of his family was so great that Sarah emptied the straw from the bed-ticks and gathered from it the few scattered grains of wheat, which she boiled and carefully divided among her little children!
This not being sufficient to support them until the return of the husband and father, she had almost given up in despair when she spied a wild turkey in the field. Taking down from its pegs the old flint-lock gun, she charged it with the last remnant of gunpowder there was in the house, crawled out carefully into the field, leveled the gun across a log, fired, and down came the turkey! please e-mail Shirley Rankin Return to Notable Women Ancestors. |

Being Male
Haut de la page
One effect of the women's movement in western societies has been the gradual realization by some males that they are also trapped by stereotypes. In this film, sixteen- and seventeen-year-old boys talk candidly about how the traditional image of maleness fits their own experience. Young men, the film shows, are beginning to re-evaluate their role in society.

Banashankari Amma Temple (Kannada: ಬನಶಂಕರಿ ಅಮ್ಮನ ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನ) or Banashankari temple is a Hindu shrine located at Cholachagudd near Badami, in Bagalkot district, Karnataka, India. The temple is popularly called Banashankari or Vanashankari since it is located in the Tilakaaranya forest. The temple deity is also called the Shakambhari (Kannada: ಶಖಮಬ್ರಿ / ಶಾಕಂಬರಿ), an incarnation of the goddess Parvati.
The temple attracts devotees from Karnataka as well as the neighbouring state of Maharashtra. The original temple was built by the 7th century Kalyani Chalukya kings, who worshipped goddess Banashankari as their tutelary deity. The temple celebrates its annual festival called Banashankari jatre, in the months of January or February. The festival comprises cultural programmes, boat festival as well as a Rath yatra, when the temple goddess is paraded around the city in a chariot.
Etymology and other names[edit]
Banshankari or Vanashankari is made up of two Sanskrit words: vana ("forest") and Shankari ("the consort of Shiva, Parvati"). The temple is popularly called Vanashankari since it is located in the Tilakaaranya forest. The transformation of vana- to bana- reflects a common loanword adaptation in Kannada from Sanskrit words. The other popular name given is Shakambhari, which means the "Vegetable Goddess". It is formed by joining of two words Shaka and Ambari. In Sanskrit, Shaka means vegetables or vegan food and Ambari means "one who wears or bears to the hungry". A further elaboration is that "Shakambhari" comes from Shakam joined with the root Bhri (Shaka = vegetables or food and root bhri = to nourish).
Locals also call the temple goddess as Balavva, Banadavva, Sunkavva, Shiravanthi, Chowdamma and Vanadurge. It is said that Banashankari is the sixth incarnation of the warrior-goddess Durga.[2][3][4]
Historians have dated the original temple to the 7th century AD - the Kalyani Chalukya period to Jagadekamalla I in 630 AD (according to epigraphic inscriptions) who installed the image of the goddess. The present refurbished temple was built in 1750, by Parusharam Agale, a Maratha chieftain.[2][3][4]
It is also said that the original temple was in existence even before the reign of the Chalukyas who gave royal favour to the beliefs of the Vaishnava, Shaivaite, Jain and Shakta religious orders. They worshipped Banashankari as a form of Shakti, their Supreme Goddess. Epigrahic inscriptions mention that Jagadekamalla I renovated the temple with several additions. Another inscription in Kannada language on a pillar located on the northern side of the temple dated to 1019 AD, describes the bravery of the Rashtrakuta king Bhimadeva. The Deepa Stambas (lamp pillar) are seen at the entrance to the temple; the construction of these, as per an inscription, are ascribed to the warrior Ketimayya.[5]
The temple was built initially in the Dravidian architectural style. The rebuilt structure is in the Vijayanagara architectural style. The temple is enclosed by a high wall on all sides. The main structure has a mukha mantapa (portico), ardha mantapa (entrance porch/chamber in front of the sanctum) and a sanctum topped by a Vimana (tower). The main sanctum of the temple has the image of goddess Banashankari diefied in it. The black stone sculpture depicts the goddess seated on a lioness trampling a demon under her foot. The goddess has eight arms and holds a trishul (trident), damaru (hand drum), kapaalpatra (skull cup), ghanta (war bell), Vedic scriptures and khadg-kheta (sword and shield). The goddess was the Kuladevi (tutelary deity) of the Chalukyas. The Devanga weaver community in particular, holds this goddess in great reverence.[2][5][6] Banashankari is also the tutelary deity of some Deshastha Brahmins.[7]
There is a 360 ft (109.7 m) square water tank in the forefront of the temple at the entrance, which is locally called as Haridra Tirtha, a corrupted version of the name Harishchandra Tirtha. The pond is enclosed with stone mantapas (halls) on three sides.[4][5][8][9][10] A pradakshina or circumambulatory path surrounds the tank.[11]
Lamp towers (Deepa stambhas) are seen in the foreground of the temple on the west bank of the pond and also at the entrance. The tower on the bank of the tank is also an uncommon guard tower which is "reflects the Vijayanagara blend of Hindu and Islamic style".[11] It is called the Victory Tower.[11]
The scriptures Skanda Purana and Padma Purana state that the demon Durgamasura harassed the local people constantly. Answering the prayers of the Devas (demi-gods) who appealed to God through a sacrifice to protect them from Durgamasura, the Lord directed the goddess Shakambari to help the people. The goddess appeared through the fire of the Yagna (fire-sacrifice) in the form of the goddess Shakambari. She then killed the demon after a fierce encounter and restored peace in the region. Banashankari is considered as the incarnation of goddess Parvati, who is the consort of god Shiva.[4][5][12]
The forests around the temple have coconut, plantain and betel leaf plants and trees. Hence, it is also said that during a severe famine, the goddess provided vegetables and food for the people to survive and thus, the goddess was given the name Shakambari.[4][5]
Banashankari jatre[edit]
Banashankari jatre ('jatre' means a "fair") is held as a religious cum cultural festival, at the temple precincts every year on the occasion of the Rath yatra, for a period of about three weeks starting from the Rath yatra. Its starts on 8th day of Pushya masa. ಬನದ ಹುಣ್ಣಿಮ celebrated on full moon day. No past data is traceable confirming the beginning of such a festival, but it is inferred that it was started some two hundred years back. Pilgrims from across Karnataka and also the neighboring state of Maharashtra belonging to different religious beliefs, congregate here in large numbers to celebrate the festival. The time is considered auspicious to even fix marriages and purchase agricultural implements. Cultural programmes (music, drama and circus) are held to entertain the largely rural community who flock the venue to not only worship their favorite deity but also for fun and frolic. It symbolizes cultural bonding between people of different communities here. A unique feature is that many shops and kiosks set up during the festival selling vermilion, clothing, sacred threads and sweets are operated by Muslims who also display a portrait of goddess Banashankari in their shops. Another interesting marketing activity seen at this venue is of the sale, by artisans of Holeyalur and surrounding areas, of elaborately engraved door frames and doors made in teak, acacia and other varieties of wood. Cattle fair is also held during this festival. Speciality of the cattle fair is the focus on sale of white bulls.[3][8][13][14]
During the festival, the temple and town are decorated with hundreds of varieties of leaves and flowers. In the fair, which starts on Bandhashtami day, a Palleda Habba or the Vegetable Utsava or festival is also held when at the start itself 108 varieties of food items (called 'bazi' in local language) made of vegetables are offered to the deity.[4][13]
The festival also marks another unique event namely, the Teppotsava (the boat festival) held in the temple tank. During this event, parents use boats made of banana stems to ferry newly born children blessed by the grace of the goddess around the pond seeking good luck to their children.[13]
Rath yatra[edit]
The Rath Yatra or car festival of the goddess held every year starts on the full moon day of the Hindu month Pausha (January) in which the temple goddess Parvati is taken in the chariot (a movable shrine) in a procession along the streets of the Cholachagudd village from the temple gate to Padhkatte, another nearby sculpture. The Rath yatra is witnessed by thousands of people, irrespective of their caste and creed from across the state. To see this cultural and religious extravaganza, people from adjacent villages come in colorfully decorated carts.[13][15]
During the religious celebrations in Hindu temples, images of the gods and goddesses worshipped in the temples, are taken on large wooden chariots called rathas and drawn in a pageant by the devotees. The chariots are generally 5–6 m (16.4–19.7 ft) in height and weigh several tonns. Huge wheels of solid wood are fixed to the chariot. The chariot is pulled by specially trained men. The chariot appears like a mini temple or shrine as it invariably has figurines of gods and goddesses carved on it.[16]
Location and access[edit]
The Banashankari temple located to the south of Badami and the Badami town itself are enclosed between two gorges. The valley formed by the two gorges has steep sand stone ridges. The soil formation is termed black cotton soil.[5]
The temple is located at Cholachagudd about 5 km (3.1 mi) from Badami on the road to Gadag. Badami Railway Station, served by the South Western Railways, is the nearest railhead. Badami is well connected by a good network of roads to all parts of Karnataka and is 495 km (307.6 mi) from Bangalore and 125 km (77.7 mi) from Hubli, which is the nearest airport.[4] in the fair all type of arnaments, jewellary, walldoor, cloths and bangle, sweets are available it is fair of 12 months

Awesome. Are the boulders worth the effort of getting to? |
By C Miller Administrator Mar 4, 2013 |
Yes and no, it's not a destination by any means, just some scrappy boulders by the ocean but the setting is magnificent. There are also some old sport routes in a cave nearby but the bolts and hangers are dangerously rusted by now. |

Environmental group to sue over Midway Atoll paint HONOLULU -- The Center for Biological Diversity has filed a notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for allegedly failing to clean up toxic, lead-based paint at federal facilities on Midway Atoll. The group said Monday that the paint kills up to 10,000 Laysan albatross chicks each year and also threatens the endangered Laysan duck. It says the inaction violates the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Endangered Species Act, and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. In response to the filing, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman Barbara Maxfield said the agency began cleaning up the lead-based paint at Midway Atoll around 2005. She says $1.5 million has been spent so far to remediate 24 of 95 buildings that contain lead-based paint. © Copyright 1996-2010 The Washington Post Company |

"I would've been free as a bird," he said of living in an older era. "Life was simpler — it made more sense. You didn't keep buying Styrofoam cups every day. You had a metal cup that lasted you all your life. Or in my case, I made a metal cup that lasted me a lifetime, as long as I didn't lose it."
Scharffbillig was playing the role of a Civil War-era blacksmith at Hastings' Civil War Weekend Sept. 7 and 8. His sentiments about an older era — when people seemed more connected to one another — and his appreciation of the challenges faced by Minnesotans in the Civil War era was shared by other re-enactors at the annual event, many seen carrying tin cups filled with lemonade in the 90-degree temperatures.
People were dressed in heavy 1800s garb, slept in tents, and carried out the daily tasks of civilians and soldiers. Children played games, and a mock Civil War wedding took place. Camps surrounded the William G. LeDuc Historic House, a mansion built during the Civil War.
The theme was "The Price of Victory," given that this year marks the 150th anniversary of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg.
"To put it very bluntly, the price of victory was death," said Amy Deaver, volunteer coordinator for the event organized by the Dakota County Historical Society. "Gettysburg had the all-time highest death rate."
The event featured speakers on mourning; a Civil War-era coffin was on display.
"We really try to minimize the presence of 21st-century trappings," Deaver said. "It's very realistic."
A Hastings man who has been a blacksmith for more than 53 years played someone who made utensils, latches and other tools.
"I grew up without electricity, so I know what it was like," Richard Carlson said.
A volunteer at the event approached Carlson with a broken handle on her purse. Carlson dug into his pockets and started bending metal.
"He has all the tools," Dottie Bronowski said with a laugh. "He can fix anything."
Just eat it or go hungry
At the cooking camp, Spencer Johnson spent his weekend cooking food such as salted beef or pork, boiled sausages, sauerkraut, potatoes and hard crackers that soldiers often joked would break their teeth.
Johnson is a seventh-grade U.S. history teacher at Hastings Middle School, and students helped him.
"This kind of stuff just hooks the kids," Johnson said.
They made applesauce from apples on the land and eggs from the chicken coop a few feet away.
"It gives you an appreciation for what people went through back then. We're only here two days. I can go home and take a shower, sit in air conditioning. They had to be sweaty and dirty, and they couldn't even take a break," Johnson said.

What loathesome burden wears your weary heart a trinket on a cold and hoary hand? And in its dark tide drowns the cheery part to keep you bound, a pet, upon its strand? Without a keel, alone and sad, unmanned to sail the main and brave the tempest storm; it claims the fairer part with stark demand, and wails its horrid knell upon reform. Stand now and rend the pall that kept you warm and stagnant to the early morning light. Cast out the deaf'ning rage of crushing swarm and air the sweetness of your bitter plight. Release your deathly grip on this disease, And from your fingers let it fly the breeze.

I appreciated that Duran spoke English & that we could understand each other especially with my concerns. She is very knowledgeable & listens to your request. I was satisfied with her post-op care & test that she took for me since I incurred recovery complications ( fever & dehydration). She answered anytime i texted her while I was ill, & answered calls anytime my RH called her about me. So I will recommend Dra. Duran for your surgical needs.

I dressed up as Mr. T. The wig was ok. The picture showed black hair with a brown skin but when the product arrived it was black hair with black skin that was covered in some kind of powder that made it look grey. It was also loose and did not fit snug. I did enjoy wearing it for Halloween.

KFC's fried chicken wings. [File Photo: dianping.vchi.cn]
Kentucky Fried Chicken, the US fast food giant has again sparked food safety concerns around China, with its outlets being accused of repeatedly using same frying oil for as many as 10 days, which experts believe may cause cancer.
The Guangzhou-based Information Times reports that KFC branches in some cities in northwest Shaanxi Province have been discovered putting Magnesium Trisilicate into frying oil to prolong its usage. Magnesium Trisilicate is a white, odorless and tasteless powder, which can decolorize and absorb the odor and some impurities of the overused turbid oil, as well as reducing its acidity and oxidization. After being "polished," the cooking oil is used over and over again for up to 10 days by some KFC outlets in Xianyang city, Shaanxi Province.
However, the KFC Corp (China) claimed on Thursday that the overused oil is concern-free as it is in compliance with the national food safety standard. It argues that the "oil purifier" is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a safe aide substance. Experts with the World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation all agree that the powder purifier can be used as food additive. KFC Corp (China) argues it will stop using it the time it is found to breach China's food safety standard.
Despite KFC's defense, food experts have not yet being convinced as they believe that even if their additive itself is safe, repeatedly used oil is no longer safe. Harmful substances will be produced after being heated time after time. Acrylamide and Benzopyrene, for instance, could always be two types of harmful side-products from frying French fries and chickens. These two side products are widely believed to cause cancer.
Health authorities in Xianyang, Yulin, and Xi'an, three local cities of Shaanxi Province, have inspected KFC outlets and confiscated their "oil powder". The provincial health administration has also reported the case to the Health Ministry for further investigation.
In similar response, local health authority of southern China's Guangzhou, has also decided to inspect cooking oils in all KFC outlets in the city.
This is the third time KFC has been involved in food safety panic in China. In March 2005, Sudan 1, a kind of carcinogenic food dye, was discovered in New Orleans roast chicken wings, a popular food produced by KFC. Last November, KFC's safety scare emerged again in China after KFC outlets in the US were found to be using artificial fats although KFC Corp (China) said then it cooked its fried chickens in a healthier edible oil, which did not contain the harmful trans-fatty acids used in US branches of KFC.

Title: | Students' perceptions of indiscipline at three primary schools in one educational district in Central Trinidad |
Author: | Lochan, Deaukee |
Abstract: | This qualitative case study sought to explore students' perceptions of indiscipline in three primary schools in Trinidad and Tobago. Data were collected through interviews held with 36 students from Standards 3 and 4. The findings revealed that: 1) some students from all three schools try to justify their negative behaviours by placing a large percentage of the blame on the actions and influence of their peers; 2) students from all three schools recognized the influence of the home environment, and the role models presented there, upon their own attitudes and behaviours; 3) most students of one school and some from another felt that the community played a part in influencing their behaviour; 4) students of two schools indicated that the media, in the form of television shows, video games, and the Internet, contribute to shaping their behaviour; 5) students of two schools suggested that teachers play a part in perpetuating misbehaviour in students; and 6) students of one school did not consider the media or teachers as being perpetuators of student indiscipline. |

JONESBORO The Jonesboro City Council just said "no" to smoking Monday.
Council members voted 5-1 to enact a ban on smoking on properties such parks, city hall and the police department headquarters building. Councilman Wallace Norrington cast the dissenting vote.
The ban is aimed at limited non-smokers' exposure to second-hand smoke while they are on city properties. About 3,400 adult non-smokers who were exposed to second-hand smoke die annually from lung cancer, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
For that reason, Mayor Joy Day said the ban would not prohibit residents from chewing tobacco.
"I don't think I can get anything second-hand from someone else chewing tobacco — unless they spit it in my face," said Day.
Jonesboro is the latest government body, agency or institution to enact a smoking ban. The Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights website, no-smoke.org, maintains a list of 1,050 municipalities in the United States which have enacted laws to become "100 percent smoke-free."
While the list does not specify which cities have banned smoking on government property, it does show which municipalities have at least banned it in bars and restaurants.
Among the cities on the list is Jonesboro's neighbor, Morrow. Other Georgia cities on the list include Athens, Cordele, Decatur, Douglas, Douglasville, Dunwoody, Gainesville, Loganville, Madison, Peachtree City, Savannah, Snellville, Tifton and Valdosta.
The issue of infringement upon a smoker's personal liberties was weighed, but Councilman Clarence Mann said the ban would not stop someone from smoking if they felt an absolute need to do so. They would have options to take care of any nicotine cravings, he said.
"If you're on city property, just step off city property and you can smoke all you want," said Mann.

Maternal perception of reduced fetal movement (RFM) is associated with increased risk of stillbirth and fetal growth restriction (FGR). DFM is thought to represent fetal compensation to conserve energy due to insufficient oxygen and nutrient transfer resulting from placental insufficiency. To date there have been no studies of placental structure in cases of DFM.
To determine whether maternal perception of reduced fetal movements (RFM) is associated with abnormalities in placental structure and function.
Placentas were collected from women with RFM after 28 weeks gestation if delivery occurred within 1 week. Women with normal movements served as a control group. Placentas were weighed and photographs taken. Microscopic structure was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining and image analysis. System A amino acid transporter activity was measured as a marker of placental function.Placentas from all pregnancies with RFM (irrespective of outcome) had greater area with signs of infarction (3.5% vs. 0.6%; p<0.01), a higher density of syncytial knots (p<0.001) and greater proliferation index (p<0.01). Villous vascularity (p<0.001), trophoblast area (p<0.01) and system A activity (p<0.01) were decreased in placentas from RFM compared to controls irrespective of outcome of pregnancy.
This study provides evidence of abnormal placental morphology and function in women with RFM and supports the proposition of a causal association between placental insufficiency and RFM. This suggests that women presenting with RFM require further investigation to identify those with placental insufficiency.

The Irish Times is reporting that Dublin-based Ryanair, whose reputation for extreme fees is well-known, will "press ahead with plans to charge passengers to use its aircraft's toilets." Last year, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary floated the idea, and even asked Boeing about adding credit card readers to the stall doors, all while suggesting the whole thing was a publicity stunt.
But now, stunt or not, Ryanair seems to be moving forward with the idea. "Despite admitting its announcement last year that it might install coin-operated facilities was a publicity stunt," says the Times, "chief executive Michael O'Leary is now revisiting the issue, according to the airline.
"Ryanair would also like to remove the two toilets at the back of each aircraft, leaving only one on board and creating room for six extra seats." The Times threw some cold water on this idea, however, saying the cost of such retrofitting, which would require extensive testing and certification of emergency exits and evacuation times, could fall between €250,000 and €500,000 per plane. That's a lot of trips to the bathroom.
A Ryanair spokesperson said the proposed £1/€1 fee would only apply to flights one hours or less. In its in-flight magazine, the airline claimed the fee could allow the carrier to lower fares by at least 5 percent.
Readers, what do you think? Is Ryanair serious? Is this even that bad of an idea for short-haul flights, especially if fares take a corresponding drop? Or is this simply a line no airline should even consider crossing? Leave a comment below with your thoughts.

I'm definitely going to be checking this book out. Thanks for posting on it.
I have done quite a bit of research into GMOs, pesticides, fluoride, antibiotics, growth hormone and harmful/poisonous food additives and there was one thing that never made sense. While many European, Asian and African countries have banned these things, our FDA, USDA and EPA seem almost eager to rubber stamp them with their approval. Why would our government expose us to such poisonous, harmful and questionable substances in our food and water? I recently found an answer that makes a lot of sense.
If depopulation is the agenda, Americans must be eliminated. The reason being that we are the most likely to rebel...and one of the few countries that still retain the right to own guns, and we have the largest number of firearms in the private sector in the world.

Chapter 1: A Lesson From Overseas When eminent scientist Arpad Pusztai went public about his accidental discovery that genetically modified (GM) potatoes severely damage the immune system and organs of rats, he was suspended from the prestigious Scottish research institute where he had worked for thirty-five years. He was silenced with threats of a lawsuit while the Institute denied or distorted his findings. In the ensuing war over public opinion, biotech advocates tried to spin the science in favor of GM foods, but were thwarted at each attempt by leaked documents and compelling evidence. Pusztai, who describes this chapter as "the most thorough and accurate report on the topic," was ultimately vindicated when his potato study was published in the Lancet. His remains the only independent safety assessment in a peer-reviewed journal. It contrasts sharply with the handful of published industry studies, an analysis of which reveals how they were designed to avoid finding problems.

After raising over $2400 for one of Nepal's top downhill mountain bike riders to come to Queenstown, fundraisers last week were left disappointed.
Amy Freedman-Davies, of Canada, and Jarrah Healy, of Tasmania, had been raising funds since last year to fund a trip to Queenstown for Raj Kumar (20) so he could help build the sport in his home country.
On Thursday the two keen mountain bikers discovered Kumar's visa application had been declined and he will not be coming.
''We're all pretty gutted.''
Miss Freedman-Davies said all donations would be returned, unless requested otherwise, in which case the money would go towards covering the costs of the prepaid flights.
The two Queenstowners met Kumar, a guide, when they they visited Nepal in search of mountain bike trails.
Kumar has ridden borrowed bikes since he was 9 and has been the Nepali downhill national champion for the past two years.
Miss Freedman-Davies had already paid for the flights and is still unsure why her friend's visa had been declined.
''This kid is so cool. He deserves to see more aspects in the biking world,'' Miss Freedman-Davies said. Generosity for the cause came from all around Queenstown.
Atlas Bar and Restaurant contributed $500 and a further $500 worth in food, while the Queenstown Bike Taxis company contributed $500 in cash to the cause, as well as $500 worth of taxi chits for Mr Kumar's arrival, and Skyline donated a half-season pass worth $499 for him to use the gondola to the Queenstown Bike Park trails for the five weeks.

In a statement released by St. Mary's the hospital staff reported six patients are continuing inpatient treatment at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center following the Reno Air Races disaster Sept. 16. One patient has died. One patient listed earlier in serious condition has been discharged. The conditions of the remaining six patients are as follows:
· 1 patient in critical condition
· 5 patients are in serious condition
Given the nature of the accident, patients were treated for injuries due to both blunt force and penetrating trauma. Common injuries included fractures of the legs, arms, ribs and fingers, head injuries, amputations, abrasions, lacerations, and chemical burns. Due to U.S. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations prohibiting hospitals from identifying patients, no further specifics on the nature and type of these injuries will be given.
Saint Mary's initially received a total of 28 patients transported Friday from the site of the disaster in Stead, including 26 via the hospital's Emergency Department and two in an urgent care center.
For updates on condition information as they are available, please call (775) 770-3555 for a recorded message or see @StMarysReno on Twitter.
The staff of St. Mary's expresses its deepest condolences to the families, friends, visitors, community members and Reno Air Races staff who have been affected by this tragic accident. "We have been deeply touched by the community support for the injured and their families, and the dedication from our physicians, nurses and staff. Our No.-1 priority is the health and safety of our patients, and we are working diligently to care for these patients," the hospital statement said.

Over the past several months, hair care firm has seen leadership changes.
Revenue at hair care company Regis continues to fall.
For the fourth quarter ended June 30, the company reported revenue of $568.2 million, down 4 percent from the fourth quarter last year. Net loss for the quarter was $63.6 million, or $1.11 per share.
The fourth-quarter results included after-tax items of $89.2 million related to goodwill impairment charges in the company's salon division and the write-down of an equity investment. Excluding these charges, the company reported operating earnings of $25.6 million, or 40 cents per share, up from 37 cents per share in the fourth quarter last year. The operational earnings exceeded analysts' expectations for the quarter of 31 cents per share.
Annual revenue fell for the fifth straight year, ending at $2.274 billion, down 2.2 percent from $2.326 billion in fiscal 2011. Net loss for the year was $114.1 million, or $2 per share, compared to a loss of $8.9 million or 16 cents per share for fiscal 2011.
Operating earnings were a bright spot. For the year, operating profit rose to $80.5 million, or $1.30 per share, compared to $71.2 million or $1.16 per share in fiscal 2011.
Dan Hanrahan, Regis' new CEO, acknowledged there was a lot of work needed for the company to improve results, but found some positive news. "The gain in fourth-quarter operational earnings amidst a negative sales trend reflects Regis' ongoing commitment to controlling costs, managing our business more efficiently and a decrease in the effective income tax rate."
Hanrahan was named president and CEO of the Edina-based company on July 12 but started Aug. 6. Hanrahan is the former CEO and president of Celebrity Cruises, a division of Royal Caribbean Cruises, and replaced Paul Finkelstein, who stepped down in February after pressure from an activist hedge fund, and also replaced interim CEO Eric Bakken.
"Meaningful change is underway at Regis, and, as we look forward to fiscal 2013, we expect these changes will drive improvement in our same-store sales results," Bakken said in a July statement.
Regis has already undergone a whirlwind of changes, including the departure of Finkelstein. Bakken, the executive vice president and general counsel, was named interim CEO while the company searched for a permanent replacement. In April, Regis reported a $1.4 million loss for the third quarter, an improvement over the $57.4 million loss in the second quarter.

Gorgeous Suede Flat
"I recently expanded my shoe collection by buying some flats. LOL! I think flats sometimes get a bad wrap for not being cute, sexy, and/or youthful. I'm here to tell you... these shoes fit the bill on ALL counts. I purchased the blue color and got SOOO many compliements. I love my heels, but sometimes...you need to give you feet a rest. I love that I can be comfortable and still be stylish."

Sewing Workshop
From Noisebridge
Revision as of 18:36, 21 April 2009 by Moonablaze (Talk | contribs)
A workshop to demystify the sewing machine and sewing in general. Non-exhaustive subjects to be covered, or at least touched on:
- basic hand sewing
- How to run a sewing machine
- common sewing machine problems & their solutions
- mending tears, button replacement, patching
- hack your clothing (partially or completely rework an existing garment)
- what's a serger & how does it work?
The goal is to get you comfortable enough to add sewing to your list of project techniques. Some examples I've heard about include a glove that you can operate an iPod with; Noisebridge sew-on patches; mending backpacks; an RFID cloning glove; and of course the Compass Vibro Anklet.
Interested? Date is not set. Add your name below and when might be a good time.

1993 Toyota Previa Minivan Deluxe All-Trac 3dr Minivan AWD
This van is the best I have ever owned, and I have gone through five different vans! I have three kids and as another person wrote- the interior holds up magnificently! The only thing I would change about the interior is I would put a better console in the front for soda/ etc. The one on the floor is a little low. A store bought one suffices. I LOVE the seats and how they recline, slide back and forth, turn all the way around and LOCK IN PLACE! I love it! Love it! I love all the room there is when you pack the back seats up and I love that I never have to remove them from the van. It is SO simple! I have not put any money into this van other than maintenance.

We bought this minivan new after our previous Previa was forced off the road and rolled. 4 of us walked away with one minor cut. After that I wouldn't buy anything but another Previa. We haven't had any major repairs other than the normal maintenance. There have been so many great family memories associated with this Previa. It handles so well in our winter mountain road driving. It was the first choice for all our ski trips and forest road camping trips. We could get 4 adult sized mountain bikes and 4 adults inside, so nothing got dusty or wet on our back road trips. Love it still! This has by far been the most reliable and fun vehicle we have ever owned.

Hardly spent money for repair since we purchased it in 1995. A/C freon leaked out in 2006. Radio tuner broke- down in 2008. Overall, Previa is a very refined vehicle in design and performance.

I bought this car brand new in Oct. 1992. The only services required are tires, wiper blades, brakes, battery, air filter, oil and filter. I also had a 60K service at 10 years and asked them to change all the hoses. 17 years, AC is still going strong without any service. Plenty of interior space and leg space. Only complaint is when fully loaded, it becomes sluggish - after all this is a V4.

I bought this van two years ago and it has been an awesome older used vehicle. Minor maintenance no big problems. Reliable in all seasons. Great for soccer mom!!

Sadly we are going to replace our Toy Previo, "Gertrude" only because of her age. I am going to miss her because she rides better than the Honda we are considering. She is good looking, dependable & reliable. She has everything one could want. She has a lot of good years ahead of her.

This vehicle has been far and away the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. It currently has 224,000 miles. The biggest repair I've had to make is replacing the distributer and spark plug wires. The thing just keeps going and going. The interior has held up remarkably well. We have 3 kids and there are no material tears or other obvious signs of wear.

I've had this van for 11 years and it
is still jammin right
along. Rust proofing is the key in
Hawaii but there has been no major
mechanical problem.It turns on a dime.
Great viewing from all seats. I kept
it so long because I love the wave
shaped (or W shaped some call it
dashboard. I wish all mimni SUV's ( my
next car now that my kids are grown)
had it. It's marvelous, feels
spacious, the glove compartment could
be a mini ice chest! And when i'm the
passenger I rest my feet up on
it, it's so perfect. Hard to clean
inside of windshield, it's quite a
reach but worth it. And to keep it
defrosted in the rain here I had to
put the air conditioner on it.

I've had the car for 6 years as the main
family car. I don't want a new one since
my 3 kids are making a mess out of
everything and that way I don't even
care if it gets dinged.
It performs so well I don't feel the
need to buy a new van (even though this
one is 10-year old).
The brakes are a chronic problem, I have
to put in $500/year to fix them.
Had to replace the starter twice.
Otherwise no problems.

could use little improvements

Nikki Youngblood may have walked away from her shadowy godfather but the mission to safeguard her has barely begun. Everything now depends on the fragile alliance of her two half-angel, half-human guardians, both struggling with intense feelings for the girl who has been assigned to their care. Mace, steadfast and deeply in love, wants to protect Nikki at all costs, while Raven's loyalty to Nikki finds him advocating for her independence and battling his own darker inclinations. As their relationships deepen, Nikki finds it harder and harder to choose between the two heavenly beings she may never have.
Dangers intensify, and tensions between Mace and Raven flare as the purpose of their mission becomes clearer. Can their defenses hold up to the master manipulator, Damon Vessler, and the powerful secret he holds regarding Nikki's heritage? Can anyone protect Nikki from her true purpose and destiny?
