Terriers are known for their sassy personalities and their penchant for picking fights with much larger dogs. Most of the breeds in this group are small, such as the Norfolk and Cairn, but there are also large terriers in the mix, such as the regal Airedale. The name "terrier" comes from the Latin word "terra," meaning earth. Terriers were originally bred to hunt and kill vermin, and their bodies were designed to get into tight places to track down their intended prey. Hunting vermin often involved digging in the dirt, and as many owners know, today's Terriers still enjoy a good dig in the yard. These breeds are also territorial of the earth that they consider to be "theirs," that is, their yard and their home. A terrier will bark up a storm at any person or animal who approaches their turf. The terrier's instinctive desire to chase small animals makes them ideal for single-pet homes only. They will terrorize cats or other pets incessantly, and it's nearly impossible to train the chase out of a terrier. These breeds typically do not enjoy the company of other dogs, unless they are raised together from a young age. It is not recommended that families with small children adopt terriers, either. They lack the patience for children, and they much prefer to be the center of attention at all times.
Terrier breeds can be a handful to train. They have minds of their own, and they like to choose whether or not they participate in an activity. If training is made to be a fun and exciting game full of praise and rewards, owners can make some headway. It helps to keep training sessions short with terriers, as well. Terriers require lots of exercise each day – even the small breeds. They are smart dogs, and when they get bored, they can become a handful. Exercise helps keep their bodies and their minds active. Regular exercise also staves off obesity, a common problem in small terrier breeds. For all of their quirks, Terriers do make excellent companions. They are often silly, and "perform" for their owners. They soak up attention, and have lots of love to give. When they are properly socialized, Terriers make ideal pets for seniors, empty-nesters, or families whose children are a bit older.

We got to a little holiday type town later in the day. It was still VERY hot and we were pretty beat so we elected to stay there.
The hotel we found was a crumbling post Soviet anachronism that still seemed to be run in The Good Old Way. i.e everthing was falling apart, and in a country where every shop, cafe, restaurant sells excellent beer, theirs was in a locked cupboard and the holder of the key wouldn't be back for 2 hours. We all dumped our gear and grabbed a shower.
Our boots all smelled appalling from the stinky soakings across the last day so the room as well as crumbling, now smelled like a giant tom cat had pissed in it. Lovely.
By the time we came out The Master of The Beer had come back with the key
and The Lord was good to us.
The town/resort was on a beautiful lake, so grasping our liquid delight we all wandered off to the lakeside for a swim and to do the Lord's work
and despite the bike problems the World was a good place. I've no pics of the hotel or the beach, maybe Prutster or W has?
There were some pretty Gucci hotels too..it was I think just ours that was very tatty.
We'd all had a lot of sun that day, and Beemster was now pretty off colour with nausea, shivering and headache. She'd taken a nasty dose of sunstroke, which whilst it passed overnight was a concern for everyone.

Dar es Salaam — Dar es Salaam residents will recuperate their incomes that have deteriorated for years as a result of a poor transportation system that encompasses heavy traffic jam.
The locals sign of relief comes at a time after the World Bank's board of executive approved a $100m as additional financing for completion of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Dar es Salaam.
BRT system applied to a variety of public transport systems using buses to provide faster, more efficient service than an ordinary bus line.
According to the World Bank, this initiative will save the Tz economy billions of shillings lost daily in traffic jams and provide relief to at least 300,000 commuters.
The additional $100m from the Bank's International Development Association will bring the total cost of the Second Central Transport Corridor Project (CTCP2 to $290m).
"Dar es Salaam is growing rapidly", said Philippe Dongier, World Bank's Country Director for Tanzania, Uganda and Burundi.
"Traffic jams are a significant problem for the economy. They reduce productivity by wasting the time of road users; they threaten future growth prospects for the city, and they pollute the environment," he said.
The BRT is implemented by the Dar es Salaam Rapid Transport (DART) agency and is aligned to Tanzania's development strategy which underscores the need for improved transport infrastructure to achieve social and economic objectives.
The combined works on the project including the construction of the road works, bus-passenger terminal buildings, feeder stations, utility power relocation will provide some 80,000 jobs by completion in 2015.
The BRT system will be operated by a $40.9m public private partnership (PPP) arrangement with two private bus operators, one fare collector and a fund manager.
The modern system will provide rapid boarding and dedicated right of way for 148 buses with a capacity of 140 passengers each, providing both normal and express services.
Additionally, another 100 buses with a capacity of 60 passengers will transport passengers to the trunk system through feeder stations.
The entire 20.9 kilometers will be provided with tree-shaded bicycle and pedestrian ways on both sides of the road with an average distance of 500 meters between bus stops.

Top Five Album Covers of 2009
5. Nile - Those Whom the Gods Detest
Karl Sanders has always been a master of creating an atmosphere for his albums, both as a member of Nile and as a solo artist, that goes far beyond the music, and his impeccably tasteful album art is a big part of that. The newest full-length in the Nile canon features the band's best album cover since its 1998 debut, Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka, simply for the fact that it utilizes a photograph rather than a drawing. Egyptian history, however improbable, actually happened, and nothing drives that point home quite like seeing an actual crumbling relic from that great empire.
4. Dark Funeral - Angelus Exuro Pro Eternus
This is one of those album covers that would have sold thousands of records to teenagers trying to find cool new metal in the pre-Internet, vinyl-dominated era. The striking shades of red seem to jump out of the artwork, which is only complemented by the presence of the Great Horned One, lording over the wasteland with his left hand aloft, seeming to channel the demon from one of the greatest heavy metal album covers of all time, Mercyful Fate's Don't Break the Oath. This is what a heavy metal album cover should be.
3. Cobalt - Gin
Properly used, old photographs can be the most compelling visual medium imaginable. The sepia tones of Ernest Hemingway's World War I military picture placed on the front of a vicious, warlike album like Gin more than qualifies for "proper use". With Hemingway's steely gaze piercing you and Cobalt's vertical logo looking on, this already complex album throws a few more dimensions of depth into the mix, and that's before even thumbing through the liner notes and turning the case over to take in the back cover. Gin is an intense package all the way through.
2. Baroness - Blue Record
While John Dyer Baizley will probably never have a year quite as incredible as 2007 as an artist - he wrote and recorded Baroness' transcendent Red Album, and did the artwork for that album in addition to the then-new LPs from Skeletonwitch, Pig Destroyer, and Darkest Hour - as an individual piece of artwork, the cover to Blue Record may be his masterpiece. The theme of fertility prevails in the art: pregnant women, eggs, including one that has been cracked open to reveal a phallus, and sperm grace the painting, and it's all done with the utmost attention to detail and that instantly recognizable style that Baizley has become known for.
1. Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs
Understatement and simplicity can be key in creating a truly memorable image, and perhaps no one grasped this better than Neige and Company for the first (and apparently last) Amesoeurs full-length. The album is characterized by a seamless blend of traditional black metal and the stirring, urban sounds of modern France, and the artwork reflects this in every way. The black metal color palette, featuring only shades of white, gray, and black, is still very much intact, but rather than showing vast, snow-covered landscapes or battle-ready men in makeup, a stark, gaunt skyline is put on display. Mountaintops may have been replaced by skyscrapers, but the tone is just as bleak. Even the band's logo is a perfect reflection of their music: elegant, French, and of course, understated. You would be hard-pressed to find an album whose cover matched its contents better this year, or one whose cover is so strikingly beautiful yet utterly bleak. Rest in peace, Amesoeurs. You will be missed.

Top DVD and Top Five Music Videos
DVD of the Year: Iron Maiden - Flight 666
If you're a fan of heavy metal, you're probably a fan of Iron Maiden, and if you're a fan of Iron Maiden, you probably think that 2008's extensive Somewhere Back in Time tour was a near-flawless tour for them. The setlist was amazing, even it was a little predictable, everyone in the band was on top of their game, the performances were unparalleled, and the tour was undertaken in the most metal way imaginable: in a private plane dubbed Ed Force One piloted by Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson. Flight 666 is famed metal documentary filmmaker Sam Dunn's video tribute to this awe-inspiring tour and the legendary band that decided to undertake it. Disc one is an insightful, hilarious, inspirational, and fascinating documentary regarding the tour, the band, and the unbelievable way in which South American and Asian fans receive their heroes. If you thought a Maiden concert in North America was intense, watch this documentary and see your mind change before your very eyes. Disc two is the most novel idea for a concert DVD I've ever seen: each song in the setlist - which appears in full - is taken from a different city on the tour. I personally saw Maiden in Toronto on this leg of the Somewhere Back in Time tour, so the recording of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" from that night is particularly poignant, and nearly redelivered me to the tears that it produced the first time around. Simply put, this is potentially the best music DVD of all time, and a testament to the sheer godliness of the best band on the planet. Up the Irons.
Top Five Music Videos of 2009
5. Merrimack - "In the Halls of White Death"
With this video, French black metal squad Merrimack focused less on story and more on aesthetics and imagery. A lot of it feels over the top, partially because it is, and there's no plot to the video, nor is there any reason for a lot of the graphic content. But that's kind of the point, I think. Merrimack's music is extremely visceral, and the video is just providing some visual carnage to accompany the audio extremity. The product isn't always appealing, but it certainly doesn't pull any punches and it does its job as a visual counterpart to a solid black metal song.
4. Isis - "20 Minutes/40 Years"
If Isis are always going to be accused of Tool influence anyway, they might as well embrace the best parts of that act. This video, and to a certain extent the song it represents, is the embodiment of the post-metal act's headfirst dive into all that is Tool. The band doesn't appear in the video, the style is bizarre, animated, and trippy, and the peaks and the valleys of the song align beautifully with the peaks and valleys in the imagery that the video provides. This is certainly one of the more unique videos of the year, and it elegantly showcases the timelessness that is Isis.
3. Sonata Arctica - "Flag in the Ground"
Alright, so this is a ridiculously cheesy video for an unbelievably upbeat (read: flowery) power metal song. There are moments where it is acceptable to laugh at what's going on onscreen, but at the end of the day, a music video is supposed to be an accurate reflection of the song that it accompanies, and if the new Sonata Arctica video doesn't do that, then I don't know what does. Keytars, guyliner, ponytailed men planting flags in the ground, and, yes, bouncing around on the balls of one's feet are all prominently featured in this video, but there is nothing self-aware or smug about this cheesiness. Sonata Arctica embrace it, and that's why their brand of power metal is among the best.
2. Dark Funeral - "My Funeral"
Maybe it's the corpse paint, maybe it's the blood on the walls, maybe it's the incredibly professional camera work, and maybe it's the stage presence of the band, but this is easily the best "band playing their song in a room" music video of all time, and one of the only videos of this kind that is actually worth watching more than once. The graphic content warning at the beginning of the video might be a little unnecessary, but somehow adds to the aesthetic the band puts forth. There's not much else to say about this one, it just rules. Hard.
1. Behemoth - "Ov Fire and the Void"
Death and black metal bands doing high-minded conceptual videos and electing to star in the them as well is probably a good idea one time per every million attempts. "Ov Fire and the Void" happens to be that one time. Nergal and his grim compatriots grope their way (at times literally) through a barren landscape filled with tarot cards, whips-and-chains torture, a woman carrying the Antichrist in her womb, and a fallen angel with some delicious-looking wings. Just when you think they couldn't add one more thing to the video, they do, and while it could come off as over-the-top, it remains mostly in the realm of tastefully evil. Even if the new record was something of a disappointment, this video is the best of the year, hands down.
Mortals are mortar and life is the fuse.
I'm with you on FLIGHT 666 buddy, I was at the Toronto and New Jersey shows btw on that dvd
Cheers !

- " The kitchen's are amongst the worst i've used. They are very cramped, and no more than 2 people can cook at a time without feeling claustrophobic. They are also under stocked, with a limited amount of pots and pans. Glasses are very difficult to find, and I estimate each level's kitchen has a maximum of one. I've also had issues with the room, such as bedding not being changed when I checked in. "

- " This hostel has a similar feel to the Base chain. It has that warehouse/factory feeling, but the staff is very nice and it is a bit more cozy. The kitchens are very clean and located on each floor, when Base usually has one massive kitchen covered in junk. Unfortunately, there is only one bathroom on each floor and the toilet seat was broken, completely dislocated from the bowl. "

In between the f-words and the shouting, I think that I got that he was upset about my snoring, but instead of merely saying, "hey mate, can you do something about that snoring?" he just resorts to abusive behavior right away. And there was nobody I could call, because the front desk is closed for eight hours a night. No procedures in place, not even a code of conduct. "

Last week, when the polar vortex descended and covered much of the country in frigid air, a lot of people tried out the old turn-boiling-water-into-mist trick.
A look at the cast members from the classic show 'The Little Rascals' as they looked during the series and how they do now.
Veruca Salt. Augustus Gloop. The names alone conjure up crystal-clear images for anyone who loves the 1971 classic 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.'
In honor of the polar vortex currently wrapping its ice-cold hands around the country's throat, we thought it would be fun to take a trip to a summertime favorite: the amusement park.
It's no doubt that Kim Kardashian is back (no pun intended). She is back to her old ways, as far as showing off that one thing that made her famous... Her boooooty! It's back and baby got back. Kim loves showing us her post-baby booty. The 33-year-old owes most of her weight loss to the Atkins diet, and pure hard work-outs. So what do you think, is Kim K's booty back?

The Toronto Lakeshore Patriots back-end was solidified all season by the addition of 17-year old rookie defenceman James De Haas. The Mississauga native led all Patriots rearguards in scoring with 10 goals, also tied for the fifth best among all OJHL defencemen, and 29 points, while finishing second among all players on the club with five power play goals. De Haas' list of accomplishments this season include confirming an NCAA Division I scholarship to attend Clarkson University, playing for Team East at the 2011 CJHL Prospect Games, playing for the South Division All-Stars at the 2011 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge and being listed on NHL Central Scouting's 2012 North American Skaters Mid-Term Rankings list, 7th round, 184th overall.
Defence – Mich Eden (Huntsville Otters)

Second year defenceman Mich Eden of the Huntsville Otters improved his statistical output across the board in 2011-12 despite playing in nine fewer games from the previous season. Eden recorded seven goals and 26 points to finish second among defenceman on the Otters in scoring, and remarkably, three of his seven goals were game-winners, tying him for third among all OJHL rearguards. The 17-year old native of Bracebridge, Ontario would join James De Haas as a member of Team East at the 2011 CJHL Prospect Games and was a member of the North Division All-Stars that finished as runner-up at the 2011 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge.
Forward – Devin Shore (Whitby Fury)
Whitby Fury rookie forward Devin Shore has been a sensation throughout his first OJHL season and has had scouts flocking to see him play after he led Team Canada East to a silver medal performance at the 2011 World Junior 'A' Challenge while winning Tournament MVP honours. The Ajax, Ontario native would lead the Fury in many offensive categories, including goals (29), power play goals (9) and power play assists (17), while finishing second on the club in overall scoring with 58 points, also placing him among the top 25 scorers in the league. NHL scouts saw enough that Shore would earn the top ranking among all OJHL players in NHL Central Scouting's 2012 North American Skaters Mid-Term Rankings list, ranked in the 3rd round, 75th overall. He has previously confirmed a scholarship opportunity with the Maine Black Bears, and was also a member of the East Division All-Stars at the 2011 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge.
Forward – Drake Caggiula (Stouffville Spirit)
After starting the season outside of the OJHL, Drake Caggiula returned to the Stouffville Spirit and would pick-up where he left off, earning a spot as an OJHL 1st Team All-Prospect for the second consecutive year. The Pickering, Ontario native would also miss considerable time, joining Shore as a key member of Team Canada East's silver medal performance at the World Junior 'A' Challenge. Despite playing just over half the amount of games as last season, Caggiula would still post impressive totals of 10 goals, 24 assists and 34 points during the 2011-12 regular season and help the North Division All-Stars finish as runner-up at the 2011 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge. His play would earn an NCAA Division I scholarship with the University of North Dakota, while also catching the eye of the scouts, being list in the 7th round, 197th overall on NHL Central Scouting's North American Skaters Mid-Season Rankings.
Forward – Daniel Milne (St. Michael's Buzzers)
Also a second-year OJHL forward, Daniel Milne joined the St. Michael's Buzzers after spending his rookie campaign as a member of the 2010-11 OJHL Regular Season champion Newmarket Hurricanes. The 17-year old native of Unionville, Ontario would more than double his statistical totals, finishing the season as the Buzzers fourth best scorer with 16 goals, 31 assists and 47 points, including a team-high seven power play goals. Milne would join Shore and Caggiula on the silver medal winning Team Canada East at the World Junior 'A' Challenge and he would be a member of the South Division All-Stars at the 2011 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge.
2nd Team All-Stars
Aurora Tigers goaltender Kevin Entmaa is a native of Milton, Ontario. He posted a 12-3-1 record with one shutout, a 2.28 goals against average and the league's second best save percentage at .930%.
North York Rangers defenceman Mark Friedman is a native of Toronto, Ontario. He was the Rangers top scoring defenceman, including 9 goals, 18 assists and 27 points, and is committed to Bowling Green for 2013.
St. Michael's Buzzers defenceman Patrick McCarron is a native of Etobicoke, Ontario. He finished second among rearguards on the Buzzers with 6 goals, 21 assists and 27 points, while tying for third with five power play goals. He is committed to Cornell for 2013.
Milton Icehawks forward Jonah Renouf is a native of Mississauga, Ontario. He would lead the much-improved Icehawks in scoring with 62 points, including 23 goals and 39 assists, as well as five shorthanded goals, the third best total in the entire OJHL.
Oakville Blades forward Conor McGlynn is a native of Oakville, Ontario. The rookie forward would record 11 goals and 9 assists for 20 points, and was a member of the West All-Stars at the Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge. He is committed to Boston College for 2013.
Buffalo Jr. Sabres forward Andrew Poturalski is a native of Amherst, New York. After a quick start to the season, he would finish third on the Sabres in scoring with 16 goals, 22 assists and 38 points, while confirming a commitment to New Hampshire for 2013.
The Ontario Junior Hockey League's All-Star Teams will be announced later this week.

Guys that pull trailers with a bike.
View Single Post
Gnarly Adventurer
Joined: Aug 2007
Oddometer: 191
I built an HF trailer with a cargo box as well. I did make a few mods to it though, I both narrowed it up (about 4 inches if I recall correctly) to just fit the box between the fenders and shortened the frame to be just a little longer than the box. It's just a little wider than my side boxes. I considered moving the axle inside the springs, but did not like the effect it had on the angle of the tongue on the hitch as it made the tongue ride nose high. That condition can make a trailer want to wag around. I did add a deck to mine with some 3/8" plywood (I think). The ply adds not much weight, does help keep it square and I think help keep the frame from twisting. I did lengthen the tongue about 12 inches. I do not have a full swivel hitch, but I do use a long neck ball. If the bike ever took a nap it might bend the tongue, but otherwise I could drag the pegs if I wanted to.
It came in about 150 pounds, but we never load it very heavy, mostly bulky, but light items... camp chairs, the tent, a small bag of clothes.... etc. Fully loaded I doubt it goes much over 225 pounds. After it was finished, I made several test runs with bags of quik-crete in the box to test handling, etc. On my last test I had 5 bags in it (80 pounds each ~400 pounds). It handled well with that load, but I could REALLY tell it was behind me. With our normal camping load, I can barely tell it's back there, but it does cost me about 2 MPG at highway speeds.
Definately repack the bearings though. And you won't need full pressure in the tires. Lower pressures will help with the trailer bouncing.
We've towed it about 8K miles and never had an issue with the smaller tires, I do carry a spare as well.
As for chains or no chains..... I do run chains to the bike. If the hitch ever came off the ball, I would rather the bike go down and know the trailer was still attached. While a rogue trailer shootiing off and hitting another vehicle would be bad enough, I don't think I'd ever forgive myself if it hit or killed a person walking along the road.
Good luck!
There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only the natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.

There are a ton of bands currently active that are great like Rise Against, 10 Years and some good bands just fade like Green Day that were big for the last generation.
New Green Day Lyrics
"I'm wearin' my heart on a noose."- "Oh, Love"
"Someone kill the DJ/ Hold him underwater till that motherfucker drowns."- "Kill the DJ"
"I woke up in a pool of sweat/ my first thought was that I pissed the bed/ Heart of stars in the midnight hour/ A kiss of death from the Eiffel Tower."- "Fell For You"
"All this fuck fuckin' with my head now"- "Let Yourself Go"
Now I do like Dookie, but this is just word vomit without substance.
Rise Against lyrics
"Somewhere between happy, and total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments, simply killing time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams, to give up on your...
Life for you, (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number, (who we are) stand in line
We've all been sorry, (who we are) we've all been hurt
But how we survive, (who we are) is what makes us who we are" Survive
"I don't understand where you got this idea,
So deeply ingrained in your head
(that this world) is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn't care less" Black Masks and Gasoline

Effects of a fracture can go beyond ability to play sports
Social isolation can lead to depression and poor academics
Protective gear cannot fully prevent fractures, but the lack of protective gear is unwise – particularly in sports with stick and balls (or pucks). Injuries can also happen during practice, so it is important to remain diligent about injury prevention. If an injury does occur, then the athlete should seek medical attention. This can begin with the high school trainer. But, if there is a deformity, then protocol should dictate that after stabilizing the injury, you should be evaluated in a facility where an X-ray can be performed to assess for a fracture or dislocation. Playing through pain is not really a good idea.

Head of State, Prime Minister, Defence Minister and Party President: Four in One
Filed Under: Politics, World | Posted: 06/23/2008 at 12:04AM
Comments | Region: Nepal
Nepal's Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, still suffering from regressive mindset, has not resigned even after 10 weeks of the Constituent Assembly poll. He has resisted the request from all other political parties to facilitate the formation of a post-poll government. Because of him, the constitution-drafting mission assigned by the people has already fallen behind.
Prime Minister Koirala, who did his utmost to preserve monarchy till 28 May 2008, is now demanding that he be the first president of Nepal. The Nepalis have been laughing at his power-mongeing nature. He holds the posts of Head of the State, Prime Minister, Defence Minister and Party President at present.
In 1998, he promised to resign from his party presidentship while becoming the prime minister. Although he has become Nepal's prime minister several times, he has not resigned from party presidentship. He currently holds four salaried posts: Head of the State, Prime Minister, Defence Minister and Party President. He does not want to give any of those posts to anybody else. The Nepalis are familiar with his power addiction.
Although the 10-April Constituent Assembly poll has given a mandate for new leadership in the country, Prime Minister Koirala has declined to accept the elected leadership, i.e., Maoists who scored three times more than Koirala's party Nepali Congress.
Since the Nepalis, who have already experienced the rule of Nepali Congress Several times from 1992 to 2008, they no longer want to maintain it. The reason is clear: the government under the leadership of Nepali Congress has always worked for the elites and business tycoons and clearly against the working class people. State mechanisms under Nepali Congress leaderships work to strengthen smuggling, blackmarketing and other criminal networks while jeopardizing people's daily life. The world may have received distorted information about Nepal. Their opinion formation may not have taken place accurately. As the international community appears to have been dependent on the information disseminated by Nepal's elite media, they are likely to have been misinformed to a great extent. In this context, they may equally have been misinformed about Koirala under whose rule the majority of people have continuously suffered.
The April uprising of 2006 forced Koirala to side with the people in appearance. He has unwillingly signed in many documents. That is his contribution to the peace process. But his regressive mindset has always become a serious problem to his own personality. Koirala's leaderhip in the Nepali Congress has clearly proved this. His addiction to power is another problem that has not only victimized himself but also the people. Because of the problem of his political morality, his party, along with the nation, is suffering.
But Koirala is not the only problem. It would be unjust to say so. Other leaders within the Nepali Congress by following Koirala's footsteps have not been able to guide their party politics. They just became followers, not thinkers. They could not question Koirala at all. They just played the role of passive consent-givers.
Likewise, leaderships in other parties have not cooperated among themselves as well as expected. They have confined themselves to their own existence. They have paid little attention to the hardcore truth that a party's existence depends on how they work to improve people's daily life.
It has become quite indispensable for the political forces to accept the new reality and defeat the power monopolism of Koirala because democracy does not accept the idea of monopolism.

Nairobi — All public schools in Rwanda are expected to join the information super-highway by the end of next year. Already, half of the primary and secondary schools have embraced the new technology, which has been given priority by the Government under its 2020 vision programme.
Out of 2,300 primary schools, 1,138 have at least one computer each, with 400 secondary schools fully equipped and 39 of them having wireless internet access.
The Rwandese Government has supplied the 400 schools with 4,000 desktop computers and 4,000 power units (UPS), in addition to training 2,000 teachers in basic computing.
The on-going programme includes tertiary and university students, and is part of a national IT policy to make the tiny Great Lakes nation, which is still recovering from the 1994 genocide, a force to reckon with globally. Over 800,000 people were killed in the genocide.
Currently, the land-locked country of eight million people depends heavily on agriculture as its major foreign exchange earner.
But this is expected to change, as Rwanda could soon be the leading ICT-endowed state on the continent. Under the programme launched by President Kagame last year, over 60 per cent of primary and secondary schools have been equipped with hardware and IT instructors.
In the next phase, all urban and rural schools will get the machines, which will be connected to electricity lines, generators or solar power.
More than 400 students have been benefited from full scholarships to study information technology in India, South Africa and the United States. They are expected to graduate and return home to take up civil service jobs to promote the ICT programme.
Dr Shem Ochuodho, the immediate former director of the Rwanda Information Technology Agency, says all ministries have been mandated to appoint ICT directors to promote the programme.
Dr Ochuodho, who is now an ICT advisor to the Ministry of Infrastructure, says each of the 17 ministries is required to spread the ICT gospel.
Earlier, Dr Ochuodho served as MP for Rangwe (1997-2002). He was then appointed by President Kibaki as the managing director of Kenya Pipeline Corporation for over a year.
The new technology has also been embraced by the Rwandese Cabinet, where ministers attend meetings on Wednesdays armed with laptops. The public and the Press are free to log on to the Government website 24 hours later and find resolutions of such meeting posted there.
Unlike in Kenya, the Rwandese Senate and Parliament have a website which is updated daily. A similar proposal for Kenya was shelved last year after a brief test run, following protest and controversy after the media published details of MPs' academic and professional backgrounds.
But plans are at an advanced stage by Speaker Francis ole Kaparo to officially launch the much-awaited website next month, as part of the Rapid Results Initiative headed by a sub-committee chaired by Mr Harry Owino, a senior systems analyst.
Last year, the national management committee of the Constituency Development Fund launched its website, which shows details of how each of the 210 constituencies received the Sh7 billion kitty, and which projects were supported.
The Rwandese Government wants to cut costs of stationery and boost service delivery to the public. All ministries are inter-connected by fibre optics to cut telephone bills and improve transparency.
The ministers are appointed from the private sector by the President. They are all professionals who must be endorsed by the Senate.
Over 100 ICT directors have been deployed to all the State corporations, and the two chambers of Parliament, the Senate and the Lower House, so far.

Ailing whale washes ashore at New York City beachDecember 27th, 2012 in Biology / Plants & Animals
An emaciated 60-foot finback whale that beached itself in the Breezy Point neighborhood of the Rockaways is shown in New York, Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2012. Biologist Mendy Garron says it's unclear what caused the whale to beach itself, but its chances of survival appear slim. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
(AP)—An ailing, endangered finback whale has been found washed ashore in a coastal enclave of Queens that was hard hit by Superstorm Sandy.
Emergency workers and marine biologists responded to a report of a 60-foot whale that was stranded on the bay side of the Rockaways. The call came around 10:40 a.m. Wednesday.
Biologist Mendy Garron says it's unclear what caused the whale to beach itself, but its chances of survival appear slim.
She says the whale isn't moving around much and "looks very compromised."
Garron says biologists are waiting for the tides to subside to determine what to do next.
Breezy Point is still recovering from the October storm that caused serious flooding and a fire that destroyed 100 homes.

Now, soldiers aren't the only ones who wear black combat boots. They are becoming more and more visible in the fashion world. Whether you're a punk, goth, grunge, or whatever you may be, donning a pair will really complete the whole look you are going for. And for those who love outdoor activities, nothing can replace the durability and comfort that these can bring.
There are things to consider when choosing. An important factor is of course, getting the right size. Boots are different from your sneakers and sometimes they could vary in size. This is very important when ordering online since you wouldn't be able to actually put them on and see whether they fit you. For this reason, this article will give you some tips on how to get the proper size.

Measure Your Feet
You might think it unnecessary to measure your feet. This is so important especially when you already know your shoe size. But keep in mind they vary. Just take these for example:
Old boots were actually much larger than the marked size. So if you had ones that are marked 9, in actuality you may have a bigger size, maybe a 10. When replacing old ones, it's better if you measure your foot again, rather than use the size of your old ones, to determine your actual one.
You should also refrain from using your basketball shoe size. Many basketball shoes are marked about 1 to 2 sizes larger than they really are. And, the fit could vary from one manufacturer to another, and from style to style. So if you have basketball shoes that are US men's 12, your feet could actually measure about 10 ½.
Women's shoe sizing might not be accurate in all cases. Sometimes, you will find yourself to fit into a 5 ½, 6, 6 ½. In addition to that, some conversion charts show that when you convert a US men's 7 to US women's sizes, you get an 8, 8 ½ or 9. So you really can't depend on your shoe size to give you an accurate measure.
Consider getting customized versions. If you are having trouble with pinning down the actual size of your foot, why don't you consider visiting a manufacturer that does customized footwear?
These manufacturers can design to fit your specific measurements. Most of them do not even have an extra charge for custom fitting. And, if your left and right foot do not have the same size, then this could be the answer you're looking for! You can have a custom pair that has different sizes for the right and left boot.
What size do you want?
This is not a very obvious question to answer. Most of us would like to have a pair a half-size or a whole-size larger. This can be used as allowance for heavy socks or multiple socks in the cold weather or for added comfort. You could also keep the extra space as an allowance for your growing feet.
Where can I look for a good pair?
Whatever you want, you'll never go wrong with online shopping. This is because you have more choices and more options. And, there are even merchants that give you instructions and conversion tables so that you will be guided in getting the right size. Also, some charge no fee at all for shipping! And you get to see different styles and colors from various manufacturers with just a few simple clicks.
Getting the right ones can give you the added comfort and protection that you will need during outdoor activities. Also, it can let you experiment with individuality and personal style. Thus, if you're to get the right black combat boots, make sure they are the right size!

Ambulance times to rural areas slammed
Posted: November 09, 2012|
Ambulance bosses were slammed by MPs for not reaching their patients in a satisfactory time, particularly people in rural areas.
The East of England Ambulance Service Trust (EEAST) has been criticised over the length of time it takes to get to some call-outs and the MPs said delays were unacceptable.
Six MPs from Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk met the trust's chairman, Maria Ball, at Westminster.
Therese Coffey, Conservative MP for Suffolk Coastal, said: "People are not getting the service they need and I think it's time the chair of the board gets to understand how seriously this is being taken by me and other MPs."
The trust has to make savings of £50 million to its budget over five years.
A trust spokesman said: "The trust is funded to meet regional targets and not more local or county-based targets.
"However, we recognise that rural areas present unique challenges and have recently invested £400,000 in rural areas."

NEW YORK – Today marks the U.S. debut of Nissan's Smart Rearview Mirror, the world's first LCD monitor that helps provide clear rearward visibility unimpeded by traditional obstacles such as cargo, tall passengers, inclement weather or the design of a vehicle. Installed in an all-new 2014 Rogue at Nissan's stand at the upcoming New York International Auto Show, the Smart Rearview Mirror allows the driver to switch between the LCD monitor and the traditional rearview mirror, depending on the driver's preference.
The Smart Rearview Mirror is housed within the structure of the traditional rearview mirror, with a built-in LCD monitor that can be activated in place of the conventional mirror. A high-resolution camera mounted on the rear of the vehicle provides the driver with a clear, unobstructed view of the rear flanks, circumventing traditional rearview obstructions such as the vehicle's C-pillars and allowing the driver to feel more confident when maneuvering in a variety of traffic conditions. The camera projects a clear image – a wider and clearer view than a standard mirror - onto the monitor for a better view, as well as a more comfortable driving experience.
Do you have desperate moments of loading and unloading kids, groceries, pets and/or things to be mended, repaired and/or cleaned? Are you hurriedly fulfilling the last-minute requests of those precious ones that depend on you?
Not to sound ungrateful for these beloved blessings, but do you simply need to be better understood?

Hirai, who has driven his LEAF 12,000 kilometers, says the car fits perfectly with his ancient temple's philosophy of innovation and its messages about the environment and way of life.
He uses the vehicle for errands and local trips, and enjoys the LEAF's quiet interior while listening to music as he drives, and its smooth, responsive steering.
Hirai believes we should live in a way in which we create the energy that we use. Living on the temple grounds, he says he will soon use solar power to supply his vehicle's power.
"The day will come that whenever people think of a car, it will be an electric car," he says.

Song Listing
Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info
|Audio Mixer: Shawn Murphy.
|Liner Note Author: Steven Spielberg .
|In "Captain Haddock Takes the Oars," a cue from composer John Williams' score for director Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin, a low horn plays a light mystery theme reminiscent of the music for the television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The TV music was based on Charles Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette," and Gounod gets an acknowledged credit later in Williams' score when "Presenting Bianca Castafiore" finds opera singer Ren?e Fleming performing excerpts from his "Je Veux Vivre" from Rom?o et Juliette as well as some of "Rosina's Cavatina" from The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini. Such classical touchstones offer suggestions of Williams' influences in background music that places strong emphasis on the word "adventures" in the title. Occasionally, as in "Introducing the Thompsons and Snowy's Chase" and "The Milanese Nightingale," Williams brings in an accordion for a French style that recalls his contemporary Michel Legrand. "The Adventures of Tintin" itself has a jazzy feel, almost bebop in nature. But much of the score consists of program music intended to underlie action and suspense while simultaneously reassuring the listener/viewer that all will be well in the end. Williams does not exaggerate the effects for comic purposes as he does, for example, in his Indiana Jones scores. Rather, this is ear candy for a movie that is equally sweet. ~ William Ruhlmann

Customer Reviews of Adventures Of Tintin:unicorn (Osc)
I love this soundtrack5/11/2012
I am not often a movie or music critic, or reviewer, but the very fact that I had to see if I could purchase this recording from Amazon speaks for itself. LOUDLY. I was really taken with the skillful storytelling in the score. Mr. Williams really helps to present the story to the audience. I know that is his job, but it is done so wonderfully. I really love the interplay of the various WOODWIND instruments, including, as I could tell, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Alto Clarinet, Flute, Oboe, and even Accordian. (I don't know if accordian is classified as a woodwind, but I believe it has reeds to produce the sound.) The Kettle Drums also add significantly in punctuating different scenes. -- This score in totally not overdone , in that it doesn't take over the movie. It does however AUGMENT it nicely.

Best Castle Quotes From Season 5, Episode 15: "Target"
Monday night's all-new episode of Castle was filled with so many good lines, that we could barely contain ourselves. With Castle having to endure the kidnapping of his daughter, Alexis, we were so startled to see Rick's transformation from goofy lovable dad to caped crusader, sans the cape.
Unfortunately, we can't copy and paste the entire script from Castle Season 5, Episode 15: "Target," but take a look at some of our favorite quotes.
1. Castle (to Martha): You're cooking! This must be a dream or perhaps a nightmare.
What a way to show your mother's cooking some love, Castle!
2. Castle: She'll be back, like Simba in The Lion King. It's the circle of life.
Cue music: naaaaat-zebenyaaaaa-babageetse-baba. Side note — we gotta learn the real lyrics to the part of the song someday.
3. Bram Stoker (to Castle): The ladies are kinda digging on vampires right now … my name is Bram Stoker, for once in my life it's working for me.
Yeah, cause what really turns a woman on is a man named "Bram Stoker" (insert eye roll).
4. Castle: Though by definition, science-fiction is not science.
Esposito: It has the word in it.
Castle: That's an excellent point.
Wait, so does that mean that Scientology is a science too?
5. Castle (to Agent Harris): So you're saying she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time...
Isn't that always the case when it comes to girls who are friends with the daughters of hated millionaires?
6. Castle: Gates will see.
Beckett: I don't care.
Atta girl, Kate. Console your man.
7. Gates: You do whatever you need to do to get him back his little girl. Anything you need, detective.
Translation: "Detective, find his girl by any means necessary." Way to go Malcolm X on them, Gates.
8. Martha (to Castle): She's going to be alright. I feel it in my heart and my heart is never wrong.
Castle: What about your first marriage?
Martha: Well...
Castle: And your second?
Really mom? Maybe you should've picked something more concrete...
9. Beckett: Castle, listen...
Castle to Beckett: Don't. Don't promise me you'll find her unless you can do it, 'cause I'll never forgive you...
Uh-oh. Please don't let this case be the undoing of their relationship... *sobs*
10. Castle (to Beckett): What's in the van? What's in the van!
Castle (to Lanie): Whose blood is that? Did someone die in there? Lanie did she die in there?
This episode should've came with a disclaimer: "Warning! This episode may be too intense for those with heart problems. Viewer discretion is advised."
11. Lanie (to Castle): It's B negative. It's not from your baby. I'm right there with you honey.
Praise sweet Jebus on a cross with little baby Simba lying at his feet!
12. Alexis (to Sarah): My dad will find us. He works with the police, I'm sure he's looking for us right now.
That's right Lexie. Stay positive… daddy is on his way!
13. Alexis (to Sarah): Either this room is seriously soundproof, or we're not in New York.
Damn, this girl figured out they were drugged, in an old building, out of the city in about 2.5 seconds?! Um, I'd choose to be abducted with Alexis any day.
14. Castle (to Beckett): I'd like a minute with him.
Oh shh...
15. Castle: I'm not a cop.
Douglas Stevens: Then who are you?
Castle: Remember the girl with the red hair? I'm her father. Please know, I will do whatever it takes to get her back.
Dude, you better start talking...
16. Castle: So it's just you and me.
Douglas Stevens: If you touch me, I'll press charges.
Castle: I don't care.
The last time we saw Castle this dark was … never?
17. Castle: Where did he take the girls?
Douglas Stevens: (silence)
Castle: I won't ask you again, where did he take the girls?
Douglas Stevens: (screams)
When they say "the pen is mightier than the sword," they didn't lie...
18. Beckett: Want any coffee?
Castle: No thanks, my adrenaline will suffice.
Because there's nothing like torturing a man into giving up info to wake you up in the morning.
19. Castle: It's all happening too fast and too slow at the same time.
Beckett: Tell me what happened with Douglas Stevens.
Castle: I appealed to his humanity.
Beckett: I didn't think you had that side to you.
Castle: When it comes to the people I love, I do.
Maybe we should change his name to Richard Castle: Dark Avenger.
20. Alexis (to Sarah): My dad taught me how to do this when he was researching for one of his books. He actually bought a door for us to practice on.
Sarah (to Alexis): Was this recently?
Alexis (to Sarah): I was 10.
Meanwhile, when we were 10, we were stuck in class learning something boring like long division. Picking locks would've been a much better lesson.
