Of course, NASA probably also has all manner of pharmaceutical stress relief, too. But for those stuck in a tent in a storm, well, the only tools at hand are shared paperbacks, iPods running out of battery, and your own self government — all of which erode over time, as shown here.

DEVOLUTION and Planning Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru formally took office yesterday and announced plans to re-organise her ministry.
Waiguru, who was sworn in on Wednesday, said the former Planning and Vision 2030 docket and local government will be merged in her ministry.
She was welcomed to her new office at Treasury Building by Planning PS Edward Sambili.
A statement from the ministry said Waiguru she will build capacity in her ministry to ensure the government achieves its objectives for Kenyans.
"Waiguru is honoured to serve as Planning and Cabinet Secretary. She has said the ministry is key in ensuring that the government under President Uhuru achieves its objectives for the benefit of all Kenyans," the statement read.
Yesterday, Waiguru received comprehensive briefs on the overall Planning docket from Sambili.
She is scheduled to hold similar session with the PS Local Government Karega Mutahi.
Waiguru said that from the discussions, she will be able to plan areas of priority and ensure the ministry is focused in delivering its new mandate.
She said she will meet all staff who will serve the ministry.
Before her appointment, Waiguru was the head of governance at Treasury and previously the director of the Integrated Financial Management Information System that enhanced the government's capacity to curb fraud in public spending.

That's 70 percent of the week, assuming I wear another color over the weekend. Perhaps I should go for 100 percent since […] [Read More]

Armed Forces elements positioned in Sinai managed on Monday 7/1/2013 to thwart a possible terrorist operation in Rafah.
The Armed Forces said that three of its patrols spotted two suspicious vehicles in an area located between Rafah Church and military barracks still under construction and when army soldiers approached them one of the two vehicles, boarding a group of masked men, sped off.
Searching of other vehicle, the army soldiers seized four sacks of TNT, two automatic weapons, two magazines, 50 bullets, five electric detonators, RPG and an RPG projectile.

I was curious about the State Department's invocation of Abe Foxman in defending its decision to send the imam of the planned Ground Zero mosque overseas. The spokesman declared, "I have heard in media reports, where, Abe Foxman of the ADL, has vouched for his religious views." That seemed a bit odd, in part because the ADL — to the chagrin of the left — had released a statement urging the mosque be relocated and asserting:
In recommending that a different location be found for the Islamic Center, we are mindful that some legitimate questions have been raised about who is providing the funding to build it, and what connections, if any, its leaders might have with groups whose ideologies stand in contradiction to our shared values. These questions deserve a response, and we hope those backing the project will be transparent and forthcoming.
I contacted the ADL, which had this response:
P.J. Crowley, State Department spokesman on FoxNews this morning mischaracterized what Abraham H. Foxman has said regarding Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, when he stated,
"…I have heard in media reports, where, Abe Foxman of the ADL, has vouched for his religious views…"
Mr. Foxman, who has known and had contact with the Imam on several occasions, has repeatedly said, "To the best of my knowledge he is a moderate and I have agreed to defend him against charges of his being a terrorist or extremist."
Well, that is a helpful clarification, but frankly, it's rather weak, given what we know about Rauf's views on, for example, 9/11. In another era and with another ADL leader, I imagine a more robust response would have been forthcoming. An official of another Jewish organization remarked to me, "If the standard for 'moderate' includes embracing Hamas and implicating the United States in connection with 9/11, there is obviously a fundamental problem." Indeed.

Signing at Los Angeles Festival of Books
For those of you attending the fantastic Los Angeles Festival of Books at the University of Southern California this year, I will be signing copies of my books at the Once Upon a Time booth in the children's area on Sunday, April 13, starting at 12:30 and going for the next hour or so. If you're there, stop on by to say hello. This will be the first opportunity to get signed copies of Poached — as well as Spy Camp in paperback.
If you live in southern California and you've never been to the Festival of Books, you've been missing out. It's a really wonderful event with tons of things to see and do for all ages. It's so big, I honestly have no idea how to tell you how to find the Children's Area. Luckily, there are plenty of handy maps posted all over the place. (And while you're there, stop by the California Science Center across the street and visit the space shuttle Endeavor. It's free!)

Botulism scare likely a false alarmA botulism scare that damaged New Zealand's international reputation for providing top-quality and safe dairy products was likely a false alarm.
By: Nick Perry, Associated Press
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A botulism scare that damaged New Zealand's international reputation for providing top-quality and safe dairy products was likely a false alarm.
New Zealand government officials said Aug. 28 they had found no sign of botulism bacteria after retesting ingredients used in recalled milk products.
Dairy company Fonterra sparked a global recall of infant formula in August after announcing it had discovered the presence of botulism bacteria in some of its whey protein concentrate.
But New Zealand's Ministry of Primary Industries announced Aug. 28 that its own extensive retesting of the concentrate indicated the presence of another, less dangerous type of bacteria but not the botulism bacteria.
Officials say the bacteria they found poses no health risk but could spoil the product in high quantities.
Officials sought to reassure international markets by lifting their own warnings about affected Fonterra products.
Several countries have instituted limited bans on New Zealand dairy products.
New Zealand officials say they conducted 195 tests in laboratories in New Zealand and the United States.
They concluded that the bacteria in the whey concentrate were Clostridium sporogenes, and not the Clostridium botulinum initially identified by Fonterra's tests.
Fonterra CEO Theo Spierings say he was "very relieved" at the latest results.
"It's good news, it's all clear for us regarding this recall," he says.
Spierings says the company acted quickly and out of an abundance of caution in triggering the recall and he didn't regret that. He says the initial Fonterra tests were performed by government agency AgResearch.
He declined to discuss what may have gone wrong in those tests.
Spierings says Fonterra remains concerned about the contamination of its products, even though it wasn't as bad as first thought.
The company earlier identified dirty pipes in a Waikato factory as causing the contamination.
In August, Spierings traveled to China to perform damage control in that key market. New Zealand relies on dairy exports to power its economy.

We call it basic but there is nothing plain about our Basics Collection of fine wall tiles. Available in the same standard colours and sizes as Silkroad, Basics offers much of the appeal and all of the durability of our premium Silkroad line at a fraction of the cost. This entry-level tile lends its own unique beauty to any wall.
Beautifully Green
Blackstock is a leader in leather tile innovation. We produce Basics from the lower portion of the thick leathers that are horizontally split during the preparation of our Silkroad collection. Instead of turning these "splits" into other leather products requiring further industrial processing, we craft them into hard-finished split suede tiles. The result is beautiful tile that is as good for the environment as it is for your pocketbook. Basics combines Silkroad aesthetics with a distinctive hand-finished quality.

MINNEAPOLIS Mike Pelfrey feels blessed. The Twins right-hander feels blessed simply for the fact that he gets to play baseball for a living. He also considers himself blessed because of his rapid recovery from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. He had the surgery on May 1 and it usually takes players a year to fully recover from the procedure. But here Pelfrey was Thursday, taking the mound in his Minnesota Twins debut just over 11 months after his right elbow was surgically reconstructed. There was never a shadow of a doubt that his arm would be fine, never any hesitation from Pelfrey or his manager. In fact, when Twins skipper Ron Gardenhire tried to take Pelfrey out after five innings, Pelfrey told his new manager that he could keep going, elbow surgery be darned. While Pelfrey didn't complete the sixth inning, he did earn his first Twins win as Minnesota topped the Detroit Tigers 8-2 to win the opening series of 2013. "It felt good. Going into a year, whether I was coming b...

Kim Dotcom, founder of Mega speaks to members of the media during the launch of the company's new website at his mansion in Coatesville, New Zealand, on Sunday. Bloomberg
Outlaw-entrepreneur Kim Dotcom and the late online activist Aaron Swartz are both known for freedom of information stances that don't exactly align with U.S. intellectual property laws. And similar to Swartz, whose prosecution by a U.S. Attorney triggered a wave of file sharing in his memory, it appears that the FBI's prosecution of Dotcom has triggered a similar effect.
Dotcom's new file-sharing site, Mega, passed 1 million users on its first day of business, according to a report by tech blog ZDNet. The new site, unlike his controversial and now-shuttered Megaupload, encrypts users' data on upload and download meaning the company doesn't know any more about what its users are sharing than the government.
In its report, ZDNet takes a shot against the federal governnment. "Well done, FBI, for helping Kim Dotcom achieve global fame," the site declared:
While Dotcom is clearly a skilled media manipulator—if you're amusing, you can get away with almost anything—his global fame has been handed to him by the overweening US judicial system and the FBI.
It must have made some sort of sense to the FBI to play whack-a-mole with file-sharing websites on behalf of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), but they picked the wrong mole to whack.
Last week we reported on a very similar event occurring following Swartz's suicide on January 11, demonstrating what is known as The Streisand Effect. This is when the attempt to stop the flow of information—as when Barbra Streisand tried to stop the publication of a photo of her mansion—indirectly leads to increased publicity for the person or cause trying to share the information.

HTC fans given extra week to recycle mobile phone
11 October 2010 — 4:03 PM
Fans of the HTC brand who would like to get their hands on the new Desire HD model as soon as it hits the shelves have been given an extra week to recycle their mobile phone to make way for the model.
That is because HTC has delayed the release of the long-awaited mobile, which was due to be out later this week.
Instead, it should now be available to those who have pre-ordered from October 22nd and other buyers slightly later, with a large number of people sure to be in the queue.
Featuring a 4.3-inch display screen and eight-megapixel camera, the HTC Desire HD will arguably be one of the phones of the year and may be well worth recycling a mobile for.
Some people might already have disposed of their current model in anticipation of the device's arrival.
Among the phones that have made it into the shops in recent weeks are two from Nokia, the N8 and C7.
Jon Butler, creative brand manager at Envirofone, says: "If you want to be ahead of the crowd, why not upgrade your mobile phone? You could trade it in for cash."

Astronomers have discovered a hot Earth-size planet so close to its star that a year on that exoplanet lasts just 8.5 hours, making it one of the fastest alien planets ever seen.
The small orbital period — one of the shortest ever discovered for an alien planet among the worlds discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope — means the planet is far outside what is considered the habitable zone of its star, where liquid water, and maybe life, could exist. In fact, scientists have described the new world as a so-called "lava planet."
The find, however, excites astronomers because the host star of the planet, called Kepler-78b, is bright enough for other telescopes to spot the world. This is a relieving note for the research team given that the Kepler Space Telescope's prime exoplanet mission officially ceased Thursday (Aug. 15), scientists said. The spacecraft had to cut its prime planet-hunting mission short when two of its orientation-controlling reaction wheels failed.
Kepler-78b is about 100 times closer to its star than the Earth is to the sun, and orbiting in a star system that is about 750 million years old — about six times younger than the solar system. The planet's surface bakes at an iron-melting temperature somewhere between 3,680 degrees Fahrenheit (2,026 degrees Celsius) and 5,120 degrees Fahrenheit (2,826 degrees Celsius).

A FLEXIBLE electronic skin that can sense when things are too hot to handle or how hard it is being pressed could give robots an almost human sense of touch.
Takao Someya and colleagues at the University of Tokyo in Japan embedded electronic circuit sensors in a net-like matrix of thin plastic film that was flexible enough to wrap around an egg. One layer of transistors measures pressure while a separate semiconductor layer monitors temperature, enabling the so-called e-skin to sense both simultaneously (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.00502392102).
"We really want to develop new technologies which make it possible to entirely cover the surface of robot bodies with e-skins," Someya says.

2014 research
Manual therapy and exercise are among recommended interventions for patients with specific spinal and extremity disorders based on physical therapy clinical practice guidelines, although the interaction between these interventions is not clear. The focus of my current research is to examine the effects of thrust manipulation on muscle strength both locally and distant to the joint treated.
2010 research
Spinal dysfunction can be a cause or contributing factor to pain in the upper extremity. We have investigated a manual test of neural tissue in the upper extremity. Using this test, in addition to other functional outcomes, we are investigating the effect of spinal manipulation and neural tissue mobilization on subjects with upper extremity diagnoses.

The Catawba River has been recognized as an invaluable natural resource in need of special care with a recent "scenic river" designation from the state.
A 30-mile stretch of a free-flowing part of the river from the Lake Wylie Dam to the S.C. 9 bridge at Fort Lawn has been designated scenic.
The Catawba joins nine other rivers in the state that have received the designation.
State Sen. Greg Gregory, R-District 16, said the designation will afford the river protection against development along its banks.
The designation is
Kitty Wilson-Evans of Lancaster has spent much time tributing the lives of African-American slaves and now an artist has paid tribute to her.
Kaye Cloniger of Fort Mill said she and Wilson-Evans, known for her role as the 19th century slave Kessie at Historic Brattonsville in York County, share a bond.
At Brattonsville's annual candlelight tour in 2006, Cloniger, who is also a teacher, was so struck by Kessie's face in the firelight that she decided to capture her essence in a collection of 14 oil paintings, which she completed this January.
Four recent high school graduates have joined a long list of students to receive scholarships from the Lancaster Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.
The public service sorority's local chapter established a scholarship program in the early 1970s to help deserving, promising youth with financial assistance for college. Three scholarships are available each year.
The 2008 winners were announced at the chapter's awards luncheon, held June 14 at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster's Carole Ray Dowling Center.
A report on how Lancaster County should focus its efforts to attract tourists to its cultural and heritage attractions is out after months of preparation.
The County Tourism Report was prepared by consultants hired by See Lancaster last fall with a $25,000 competitive grant from the S.C. Budget and Control Board. The report seeks to highlight the county's assets for cultural heritage tourism, defined as "visits to a community motivated in whole or in part based on the community's history and culture."
A bird's-eye view of the Edgewater property is all Patrick Josey needed to be convinced that the development was for him.
Josey and his wife, Dawn, are in negotiations to buy a tract of land on the development, 10 miles southwest of Lancaster. After touring the lake-front property from a helicopter last week, the Joseys feel more assured that this will be the site of their future home.
HEATH SPRINGS – You might call it a big splash in the bucket for the town of Heath Springs – $500,000 in federal grant money to help overhaul its water system.
Mayor Ann Taylor said the town recently got word that it was awarded a Community Development Block Grant to finance the second phase of its waterline improvements. The project will finance new lines for nearly half the town's population, or about 450 residents.
"I am thrilled out my mind. I know the people endured low-water pressure for a long time," Taylor said. "I am very delighted."
INDIAN LAND – It will be at least nine weeks before the Indian Land intersection of S.C. 160 and U.S. 521 is complete, due to an accident June 19.
A Pike Electric Co. truck was delivering new traffic signal mast arms to the S.C. 160 widening project that day. The truck driver and a worker were unloading a mast arm from the truck, parked on the northbound side of U.S. 521, when another of the large arms shifted and fell from the truck, according to the S.C. Highway Patrol.
PAGELAND – The 57th Pageland Watermelon Festival is offering dozens of events this weekend for people of all ages.
The festival, the largest annual event in neighboring Chesterfield County, kicks off Friday and runs through Sunday.
Craft and vendor displays open at 3 p.m. Friday on Pearl Street in downtown Pageland and amusement rides open at 5 p.m. in downtown.
The festival pageant is 5 p.m. at the Pageland Community Center.
KERSHAW – A man who has lived in Flat Creek all his life has made it his goal to protect the community's most precious natural asset, Forty-Acre Rock.
Last month, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources said showed its appreciation for Tom Welsh.
Welsh, 87, and family attended a luncheon in his honor June 27 at Cromer's in Kershaw. Johnny Stowe, Heritage Preserve Manager for S.C. Department of Natural Resources, attended along with Lancaster County conservationist Lindsay Pettus and a handful of others.
Registration dates have been set for the 2008-09 school year.
No general school fees will be charged this year, although some fees may be charged for activities such as band, driver education, clubs and yearbooks. School insurance will not be on sale during registration.
All students new to the district must complete a student information form and provide two proofs of residency. New students are asked to bring report cards and any other available records from the school attended last year.
They will not be allowed to register without the following documents:

You were short on cash and turned to a fast fix – a payday loan. But then something happened – your car broke down, you had extra expenses that week, or you just didn't think too much past getting the money so that you could take care of immediate concerns. And now you can't pay your payday loan. Every week the increasing fees and interest rates make it even less likely that you will be able to fulfill your obligations for the payday loan.
• What will this mean for my bank account?
• What will this mean for my financial future?
• Will I have to go to court – or even jail?
These might be just some of the questions you are asking yourself if you have a payday loan that you are unable to pay. The answers depend in part on your state, the amount of the loan and how you intended to repay it, as well as intent.
Unpaid Payday Loans – What do lenders do?
If you are unable to fulfill your payday obligations and pay for the agreed upon sum, you cannot be prosecuted with the threatened consequence of jail time by the lender. The lender can, however, file a civil suit against you for breach of contract. A civil suit claim will be addressed in small claims court, where a judge might order you to repay the loan in full, plus all of the interest and fees that are due, as well as associated court costs.
If you don't comply with this ruling, the court can rule that:
• your wages are garnished (taken) in order to pay for your debt
• you must sell assets in order to pay for your payday debt
• you must sell property in order to pay for your payday loan debt
Lenders may not, however, file criminal charges against you. They are also not eligible to receive any social security benefits you might be collecting.
Unpaid Payday Loans – What do banks do?
While the lender is not able to file criminal charges against you, your banking institution can. When your lender attempts to collect on your debt by cashing the check you gave them or accessing the bank account you authorized, you might incur insufficient funding charges. If you do not supply your bank with both the amount you authorized to be taken from your bank account as well as the banking fees, you can be subject to criminal charges brought against you by your banking institution. These charges can be punishable by monetary damages as well as jail time.
An important distinction that is made, however, when a bank attempts to hold you criminally responsible is intent. Most states have criminal laws against writing bad checks. However, when it comes to payday loans, the contractual intent is to pay back the money owed. The contract is formed with the clear understanding that you don't have the money (which is why you are asking to borrow this short-term amount at such a high interest rate). This technically can be seen as you having the intent to pay back the loan. It can be more difficult to prove criminal intent to write a bad check in these cases. The exception is if you write the post-dated check or make electronic authentication on an account that has already been closed or on which you have already defaulted.
How Else Will Defaulting on My Payday Loan Affect Me?
Not only might you be taken to civil court and charged in criminal court by your banking institution, your credit report can take a drastic dive. If your financial circumstances are so dire that you end up filing for bankruptcy, know that according to federal law, payday loans are not exempt from bankruptcy filing. Some lenders might attempt to convince you otherwise, but they are not guaranteed repayment in circumstances of bankruptcy claims.
It is also important to note that lenders (and banks that are acting as third parties with lenders) are subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). This means that lenders and agencies representing lenders may not call and harass borrowers with threats of criminal charges or fees beyond those that the contract listed. The lender must also keep your information confidential, and may not contact you for repayment issues if you file for bankruptcy.

Despite this, the band's strongest influences come from halfway around the world in the UK. Most of the band members have played together for over ten years, formerly in a new wave band called Satellite Five, before forming indie-pop focused The Gentle Isolation. The Gentle Isolation have built up a strong local presence, playing at venues in and around Metro Manila and opening for Swedish pop duo Club 8. In 2010 they released their first EP on Lilystars Records, and have since recorded a song for a tribute album to UK band Blueboy. The band is hard at work on their debut album.

from the delete, several private class variables are written over.
I have checked that these variables are correct just before the delete

Juba — A court hearing for four political detainees accused of treason by the South Sudan government in connection to an alleged coup plot to depose president Salva Kiir got under way in the capital, Juba, on Tuesday.
The hearing started at 10:00am (local time) following repeated adjournments and delays, allegedly to allow investigators assemble more evidence.
Pagan Amum, former secretary-general of the governing Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), Majak D' Agoot, former deputy defence minister, Oyai Deng Ajak, former national security minister in the office of the president and Ambassador Ezekiel Gatkuoth Lol, appeared before a panel of judges.
Charges read out related to evidence of their role in the alleged failed coup attempt in mid-December, which sparked violence across the country, and their participation in a 6 December press conference, in which they criticised Kiir's leadership as being marked by corruption and tribal divisions.
Telephone records were also presented allegedly showing individual discussions on strategies to depose president Kiir from power.
Other evidence tendered to the court includes documents seized after the arrest of some of the officials.
Government witnesses brought to testify include interior minister Aleu Ayieny Aleu, as well as the director generals for internal and external security, Akol Koor Kuc and Thomas Duoth respectively. Major General Mac Paul from military intelligence was one of the witnesses testifying on behalf of the government.
Seven other political detainees were released in January and immediately left South Sudan for Kenya. The remaining four detainees have since remained in custody despite mounting international pressure for their release.
An estimated 10,000 people have been killed and almost one million displaced since violence erupted between forces loyal to the Kiir-led government and rebels aligned with former vice-president Riek Machar.

If (aside from low-intensity fill lights) I'm making cloud-free sunlight from a Distant Light using raytraced shadows, what's the most realistic Shadow Softness number?
In the two renders below, the one with the woman walking to her car has no shadow softness, and (of course) the shadows of the palm-fronds are too hard. In the Hulk'n'TonyBear render the shadow cast in front of him is from the broken roofline of a tall building, and although I think the shadows are too soft, since I don't have any tall buildings (or sunlight - it's cloudy here) to check against I can't tell if 0.50% is too much.

Syrian refugees pitch new tents at the Al-Zaatari refugee camp in the Jordanian city of Mafraq, near the border with Syria, January 1, 2013. (REUTERS/Ali Jarekji)
BEIRUT/STOCKHOLM: The first batch of families fleeing the violence in Syria has arrived in Qatar, after initially seeking refuge in Lebanon, the official Qatar News Agency said Thursday.
The QNA said that 42 Syrian nationals arrived in Doha late Wednesday from Lebanon.
"Upon orders from the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Khalifa al-Thani and as part of efforts to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people, Qatar has decided to shelter a number of Syrian families and widows fleeing Syria as a result of military operations by the Syrian regime against the citizens," the QNA reported.
The news agency said Qatar will provide the incoming families with housing, health care, education and livelihood opportunities.
Dr. Antoine Qaimar, a physician assigned by Qatar to provide humanitarian assistance for Syrian refugees in Lebanon, was quoted by the QNA as saying that the group of Syrian refugees that arrived in Doha Wednesday was the first.
Qaimar said a second group of 28 individuals is expected to arrive in Doha soon. "This is the first initiative of this kind [to be launched] by a Gulf state," Qaimar said.
Syria's civil war has turned more than half a million Syrians into refugees. Most of them have fled to Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
But new statistics released Thursday said that more than 12 times as many Syrians sought asylum in Sweden in 2012 than the previous year, making the Scandinavian country the top European destination for Syrians fleeing their country's civil war.
Preliminary figures from the Swedish Migration Board indicate that some 7,800 Syrians sought refuge in Sweden during the past 12 months, compared to 640 in 2011. The agency said around 5,000 of the Syrians were granted asylum in 2012, adding that, "Sweden thereby confirmed its position as the primary destination and recipient country for asylum-seeking Syrians in Europe."
Although the migration agency said Sweden is the top European destination for asylum seekers from Syria, Germany led the 2012 tally of all asylum applications on the continent, with 64,000 people. France was in second place with 60,000, while Sweden came in third with 44,000.
In Jordan, the UNHCR said Thursday that there has been a steady increase of Syrians fleeing into Jordan over the past two weeks and that the past three days have seen an average of 1,200-1,300 crossing the border.

2) Rocks. These should be cobbles, granite, brick, or other explosion-proof material. They shouldn't weigh much more than five or six pounds, since you must handle them when they're hot.
3) A support for the fish. This could be a section of bookshelf wrapped well in tinfoil, a large grille from a barbecue unit, or any big sheet of something rigid that isn't poison and doesn't weigh much. You need it to support the fish while it cooks and while it cools. It needn't be exactly fish length, especially if you wind tight enough with
4) Cheesecloth, lots of cheesecloth.
You will need the seasonings that are commonly used with poached fish — lemons, peppercorns, mustard and/ or coriander seeds, celery, carrots, onions, parsley, and, of course, white wine. You can make a proper court bouillon if you are feeling ambitious, but a big fish means a lot of liquid, and it 's not really necessary. You will, however, need at least enough of the seasonings to partially stuff the fish.
Be sure there are plenty of tea towels, potholders, and similar articles on hand. Start thinking about a presentation platter. We were able to use the marble top of a Victorian hall table, but only because someone strong enough to lift it happened to be handy. Having someone strong and long armed to help is a good idea in general. Otherwise, just lowering the supported salmon into its waiting bathtub takes a bit of engineering.
Begin by putting the rocks (enough to pave the tub by about one third) into a cold oven. Turn the heat to 200° and bake for 20 minutes. Raise the heat to 375° and bake at least 1-1/2 hours more.
Heat several large pots of water while you are heating the rocks. Put seasonings in if you're inclined toward court bouillon. Bathtubs and giant fish vary so much that it's hard to suggest quantities, but a four-foot fish in a five-foot tub will require about 10 to 15 gallons of liquid, 3 pounds each of carrots and celery, 5 or 6 big onions, 8 lemons, 2 bunches of parsley, 5 or 6 bay leaves, and 1/4 cup peppercorns.
Of course you won't need nearly so much if you just use the seasonings to stuff the fish. This "stuffing" is partly to provide flavor and partly to keep the top and bottom of the fish slightly ajar so the heat can get all the way to the backbone from both directions.
Lay out four overlapping long pieces of cheesecloth crisscross to make a square and lay the fish thereon. Insert the vegetables, cut in rough chunks. Completely wrap the fish in the cheesecloth, pulling it tight. Tie it in a few places with kitchen twine. This binding up will help the fish keep its shape during the cooking process.
Put the fish on its support and let it come to room temperature.

Universal Design in Education
Universal Design: Educational Principles and Applications
Universal Design (UD) as defined by The Center for Universal Design at North Carolina Sate University is "the design of products and environments which are useable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design". Universal Design in Education (UDE) applies to educational products (such as curriculum, academic programs, computers, websites, software, textbooks, lab equipment) and environments (such as campus facilities, classrooms, learning resource centers, online and distance learning courses).
Principles of Universal Design for Instruction
Equitable Use: The design does not disadvantage or stigmatize any group of users.
Flexibility in Use: The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.
Simple, Intuitive Use: Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level.
Perceptible Information: The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities.
Tolerance for Error: The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.
Low Physical Effort: The design can be used efficiently and comfortably, and with a minimum of fatigue.
Size and Space for Approach & Use: Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use, regardless of the user's body size, posture, or mobility.
A Community of Learners: The instructional environment promotes interaction and communication among students and between students and faculty.
Instructional Climate: Instruction is designed to be welcoming and inclusive. High expectations are espoused for all students.
While courses, technology, and student services are typically designed for the average student, UDE promotes the consideration of students with a broad range of characteristics which include gender, culture, age, stature, disability, and learning style. Teaching must move beyond traditional presentation styles and incorporate strategies that are more diverse, flexible, and accessible in order to be universally effective.
In order for UDE to uphold essential components of course information, the following guidelines may be considered:
- Class Climate. Adopt practices that reflect high values with respect to both diversity and inclusiveness.
- Physical Access, Usability, and Safety. Assure that activities, materials, and equipment are physically accessible to and usable by all students and that all potential student characteristics are addressed in safety considerations.
- Delivery Methods. Use multiple, accessible instructional methods.
- Information Resources. Assure that course materials, notes, and other information resources are flexible and accessible to all students.
- Interaction. Encourage effective interactions between students and between students and the instructor and assure that communication methods are accessible to all participants.
- Feedback. Provide specific feedback on a regular basis.
- Assessment. Regularly assess student progress using multiple, accessible methods and tools and adjust instruction accordingly.
|UD Strategies
|Requires sustained concentration, retention of information, fluency in spoken language, and note-taking.
|Create and post detailed notes on an accessible Website, provide periodic breaks during long sessions, provide adequate space and lighting for interpreters/captioners; allow time for questioning and clarification throughout presentation.
|Group Work
|Requires substantial, appropriate physical space; use of printed materials; sustained concentration; interpersonal, communication and writing skills; may spark anxiety issues.
|Design group roles to ensure that individual differences are naturally mediated through distribution of responsibilities; minimize amount of printed materials and assure accessible formats when necessary.
|Power Point⁄ Overhead
|Requires use of visual information (clarity, color, size, and density of slides); lighting may be an issue.
|Create slides with solid background (light text on dark background); use at least a 24-point font (Arial, Times New Roman); describe slides orally; limit number of slides; allow adequate time for audience to read each slide; use software to create accessible PowerPoint slides to post to an accessible Website.
|Videos⁄ Films
|Requires use of auditory and visual information; lighting may be an issue.
|Ensure videos are captioned; prepare a disk of descriptive narration or transcript for ready availability of alternative format.
|Written Exercises
|Requires reading, writing, access to print formats and English language fluency.
|Present written exercises as group work OR allow the use of assistive technology, reader, scribe, or a dictated response; use at least 18-point font on a solid background using simple, intuitive language.
|Requires physical movement, use of auditory and visual information, English language fluency; may spark anxiety issues, compromise effectiveness of accommodations (sign language interpreters/captioners), and prevent adequate control of physical environment (noise, space, lighting).
|Plan and consider value of activity due to the wide range of issues and individual differences of participants; consider options to accomplish the same goals. Plan necessary supports to allow for ease of movement and communication. Practice variations of the activity with user/experts to evaluate inclusiveness.
|Requires English language fluency and use of auditory information; may require note-taking, sustained concentration, use of visual information; may compromise effectiveness of accommodations (sign language interpreters/captioners) and spark anxiety issues; space may have inadequate acoustics.
|Provide adequate space and lighting; provide options for participation, such as note cards; summarize key points; design seating arrangements that provide face-to-face contact for all participants; ensure appropriate acoustic environment.

Very good .... you are on the move and you will enjoy it
I like the the route you choose and you will see the most interesting and rideable countries.
Other travellers I talked to said, the East coast of Africa is more touristy but also more to see
However, the time you hit Europe, give us a call and you are more than welcome to stay at our place
We live about 45min north of Zürich, right on the border to Germany/BlackForest. There is always a hot shower (or hot tub), a garage to work on the bike and the next KTM dealer/workshop is about 5 km away., where we bought our KTM 690`s.
In 2012 we will be away in September for a 2 week vacation in South France (Alpes maritimes), our last testride before we leave again in 2013
If you make it early enough (end of August) , I can show you my favourite routes heading south to Portugal and we can ride together for the 2 weeks and split in South France.
OK, this is just a suggestion for next year .... right now have fun riding south and

On august 30, the weather turned bitter and it was a cold ride to Calgary, Alberta. Luckily it was a short trip because we werent wearing the weather liners on our riding gear. The tread on our back tire was wearing thin and since we have to learn to do all the repairs on the bike ourselves, we were about to replace our first tire. Fortunately, we were offered some help from a man named John. He lives in Calgary with his family and he replied to a post that Rocky had placed on the website www.ADVrider.com. After entering his garage, it was obvious that he loves motorcycles and his enthusiastic stories had me wishing I had my own. It was very kind of him to help/teach us and I thought it was really cool that his wife was also celebrating her birthday that day. With the weather still cold and wet, we were very thankful to have been invited to spend the night in Calgary. It is a great feeling to be treated so well by strangers.
The rain remained by the next morning and the ride felt longer than it should have. As we reached Canmore, Alberta we were only able to get a few peeks at the mountains as we literally rode through clouds. That is when we finally decided that the weather sucked! We had an entire day to waste so we pulled over and spent it at Tim Hortons. We were hoping the rain would stop, but it didnt. So, we rode into Banff National Park, located in the Canadian Rockies and before it got dark, we found a great place for our tent.
The following morning we rode to the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper, Alberta. On our way, we stopped at the famously beautiful Lake Louise, but everywhere I looked was jaw dropping. The mountains were majestic, the lakes and streams were all aqua marine in color and I love the smell of fresh air. Alberta, Wild Rose Country is incredible but no words or pictures could properly describe its intensity.
Just as the sun began to set, we passed the border into British Columbia and stopped in a town named Fields, BC. It was definitely a scenery I wanted to wake up to. The morning was beautiful but during the night, a storm almost blew us away. The tent swayed viciously and at first, I thought it was a bear attack. Ironically, we fell back asleep too tired to care.
When we were in Calgary, John recommended we take a different route than we had planned. We trusted his opinion and am I ever glad. We rode through Beautiful British Columbia on winding roads that took us up, down and all around the mountains. These mountains were green, covered in trees and their peaks, smooth. We took ferries across a couple of lakes giving us the chance to stretch and enjoy a different type of ride. After a long day on the road, we pulled into a town named New Denver. We found a very small park on the edge of Slocan Lake and the view was breathtaking. It was a great home for the night but our morning was a rough one. As we packed up, I tried releasing the tent poles to take apart the tent. I was having a tough time but finally managed to bend the pole just enough to have it pop my front tooth with all the built up pressure. Imagine me with a missing front tooth? Haha close call, but thankfully, I still have them all. With everything finally packed, the motorcycle refused to start. A local who lives across the street, had seen our troubles and offered us a boost from his portable battery charger. Within a few minutes, the engine begun to purr. Thanks David!
We finally headed out towards Grand Forks BC to meet a local named Nancy but since we arrived late, she had to go to work and her sister Joanne greeted us instead. Nancy is a kind lady we met on www.couchsurfing.org and we were the first she had hosted from the website. When she finally made it home from work, we were pleased to meet her. We shared stories, drank wine, walked around town, and shared many laughs. Two nights later, we had to part ways. I love meeting new friends but I always feel sad to say good bye. We were on our way to Vancouver and the roads we took were a lot of fun. At times I wished I was the one steering but who am I kidding, Ive had the best seat on this trip. I once thought I might be crazy for wanting to join Rocky on this adventure but, everyday I have been reminded by every moment passed how amazing it is to be experiencing this. I have traveled a lot in my life but nothing beats doing it on a motorcycle.
Looking for a place to take a break, we came across a town called Osoyoos. We didnt stay there for long but I just want to mention how much we liked it there. Rocky said that it looked like a great vacation spot, I thought it looked like a great place to live. It was really pretty.
The entire ride through Canada, I dont remember seeing any police, it must have been because they were all hanging out in BC. They were everywhere pulling over groups of vehicles. At one point, the car in front of us and about four cars behind us were asked to pull over. We werent sure if we were asked as well so to avoid trouble, we did anyway. As soon as we realized how many of us were waiting for a ticket, Rocky decided that the cop had his hands full so we did him a favor and left to make his job easier.
With Almeidas original rear tire tread thinning, I had posted on a internet motorcycle message board asking for tips on changing tires. I was contacted by a couple members of the website www.ADVrider.com who were willing to help. A guy in Calgary named John emailed me his contact information offered to show me the ropes.
Heading towards Calgary, the clouds became increasingly dark and the air much cooler. We pulled into Blackfoot Motorsports in a frigid, drizzling rain. After picking up a new Pirelli Scorpion, we followed the directions entered into the GPS and arrived with John waiting for us in his driveway. Pulling into his garage and seeing seven or eight motorcycles, including a KTM 990 Adventure, we knew we were in good hands.
After getting the tire changed, Paula and I washed up and headed out for her birthday dinner all-you-can-eat sushi. John had offered us a place to stay for the night, so we finished up dinner and headed back to his place in the rain.
The next day was just a cold and rainy as the previous. Nevertheless, we loaded the Almeida up with our gear, thanked and said our good-byes to John, and headed towards Banff. Arriving in Banff after enduring a bitterly cold rain, we found a Tim Hortons to camp out at for a while to rest, dry off and get warm. We waited for several hours for the rain to stop. It didnt. After about five hours of sitting, we decided to find a place to stealth camp. We found a suitable location on the outskirts of town, set up camp and endured a long, cold night.
We awoke the next morning to some breaks in the clouds that had been overhead for the past few days. The day was spent riding along the Canadian Rockies to Lake Louise, Bow Lake, and up to the Athabasca Glacier. The scenery was awesome. The sun shared the sky with the clouds, and the temperatures cold, especially while riding. With nightfall quickly drawing upon us, we pulled off the side of the road to camp just outside the town of Field, British Columbia, a picturesque town of approximately 300 people situated along the snowcapped peaks of the Rocky Mountains.
We were awoken in the middle of the night to a fierce thunderstorm. I was sure that the tent would be blown apart by the winds, but I was too tired to care, so I shut my eyes and went back to sleep.
Coming down in elevation the next morning, the sun began to shine and the temperature began to rise. We followed the route John had made up for us through Golden, into Revelstoke, and down along Upper Arrow Lake where we had our first ferry crossing. We continued along twisting and winding roads and beautiful scenery, and stopped just before sunset. We camped out in the park next to a lake in the small town of New Denver along the edge of Slocan Lake.
The next morning, the bike refused to start. My initial guess was that the battery was drained from charging all of our electronics the previous day, even though it was while Almeidas alternator was turning. The several attempts of fire up the engine were in vain. The battery just didnt have enough juice to crank the starter motor. Luckily, a neighbour, just across the street from the park where we were camped, heard us trying to start the engine and offered his assistance and his battery charger. After about fifteen minutes on the charger, I tried the to start the bike and the engine immediately fired up. We thanked our new friend, David, for his help, I put the bike in gear and we headed towards Grand Forks, British Columbia.
In need of a rest, a shower and a friendly conversation (Paula and I get sick of each other after several days with just each other), we decided to give couch surfing another try. We contacted a lady named Nancy who agreed to host us for a night or two. We arrived in Grand Forks, and were let into Nancys apartment by her sister, Joanne, who lived across the street. Nancy worked at a local pub, and wouldnt be arriving home until later that evening. We were surprised at how trusting someone could be to let strangers into her home without ever meeting them. Nancy finished work and arrived home at around 10pm. We sat at her kitchen table and talked about everything under the sun as Paula and I polished off a bottle of red wine that Nancy had opened up for us. Tired and tipsy, we took our last sips of wine and hit the sack.
In the morning, Nancy cooked us a tasty organic breakfast, and took us out for a cup of Joe at her favourite coffee shop in town. She offered great stories of her travels around the world, a bit about the history of Grand Forks. Many of the residents of the town were descendants of the Doukobors, a group of pacifist Russian immigrants that settled in the area at the beginning of the twentieth century.
The remainder of the day was spent exploring the town and enjoying its sunshine.
We left Nancy and Grand Forks the next morning. From there, we made a beeline for Vancouver, stopping only twice. Our first stop was a great little town in Southern B.C., called Osoyoos. Riding down into the valley and into the town, it felt like we were in the wine country of Southern California. The buildings were Mexican-style with stucco facades, and the landscape seemed out-of-place for British Columbia. Our next stop was Hope, British Columbia, where the first Rambo movie was filmed. I had hoped to get a photo taken on the bridge during the arrest scene of the movie, but was disappointed after learning that it had been torn down a few months earlier.
We rode into Vancouver and hit, what seemed like, every red light before finally arriving downtown at my friends apartment. Vincent, a good friend from Taiwan, greeted us and took us up to his apartment for some much-needed R&R.

Hi Rocky and Paula. Glad you guys had a good trip through southern BC, I think Paula's picture marked "southern BC" is north of Creston above the Creston valley - awesome pavement twisties on that road. Now that you've seen some good pavement roads in BC, come back one day and I'll show you some cool unpaved ones.
Best of luck,

When we come back to Canada, we'll meet you up in those northern gravel roads you were telling us about. I've got an awesome video riding in the Alvord Desert. So much fun! I need to get it off-road more often. I'll be posting the video within the next few posts. We're a little behind, and trying to get caught up on the website. These things happen when you're busy riding.

Guys, enjoying very much reading about your trip/adventure. Truly inspiring!
Wondering how you are finding the KTM? I'm in a similar situation of just about to take the training course, then looking for a bike that I can take to Inuvik (via Dempster Highway/Alaska) in 2013. My heart says KTM 950 adv, but a little part of me is worried that it's 'too much bike'. Planning on using 2012 as prep to get in some good riding experience along gravel/roads around here. Would love your perspective on it. (how it feels, if it's scared you yet, if it's too hard to work on, if you'd buy another one!)
If you're still in Vancouver would be great to buy you a coffee and see your setup.
(also, we vacation is Osoyoos every year - part of the only desert (i think) in Canada - so it typically has 30 degree days with the warmest lake in Canada too)
Ride safe and enjoy the ride.

We're so behind in blogging that we haven't even posted about Vancouver yet. We left Vancouver almost 3 weeks ago. We're currently in Salt Lake City, Utah, heading down to Provo today and then to Moab for this weekend (and my birthday).
I love my 990. Working on it hasn't been too bad so far. This is my first bike and the first bike I have ever worked on. I'm also a beginner mechanic, but I went to school for electrical engineering. So far, we've done a valve clearance check, water pump rebuild, brake and clutch fluid changes, and oil changes. John, in Calgary, taught me how to change the rear tire, and the guys at the KTM shop outside of Portland showed us how to properly adjust the chain tension. It doesn't seem too bad. After looking at some KLRs and some older BMWs, the 990 does look a lot more complicated, but, so far, it's not too bad.
Here's a link to the thread in which I was asking about this bike before I bought it: HERE
I don't think it's too much bike at all, but, then again, I have nothing to compare it to. I haven't killed my self yet. My perspective is that you are at the controls and the bike basically does what you tell it to and goes where you point it to go.
Here is a good quote from the thread I posted above:

I road that bike once, it was a nice bike. Smooth, even feel, it was a big bike but did not feel like it at all. It also seemed like it went around the corners nice, and was not too much to swerve and weave the bike, even when it had a load of gear on it. Still too much work involved for my taste... ;)

Hilary Duff goes undercover on 'Gossip Girl'
"Gossip Girl" has racked up another casting coup, signing Hilary Duff for a guest arc in the fall.
Duff's casting, which The CW confirmed Wednesday afternoon, follows on the heels of Joanna Garcia joining the show as Nate's (Chace Crawford) new love interest. Word is that Duff's character may be cozying up to one of the "Gossip" guys too.
Her character, Olivia, will enter the "GG" orbit as Vanessa's (Jessica Szohr) roommate at NYU. There's a catch, though: Olivia's a one-time child star who wants a normal college experience and is hoping her fame won't prevent that. Hence her living in the dorms with V.
Duff, of course, is a former child (or teenage, anyway) star too, having shot to fame as the star of "Lizzie McGuire." She's been taking on more grown-up roles lately, guesting on "Ghost Whisperer" and "Law & Order: SVU" last season. She's also attached to a retelling of "Bonnie and Clyde" that's supposed to begin shooting later this year.
What do you think of the latest "Gossip Girl" casting? Will Duff be a good fit?
