Me and Naiomi (5yo daughter) had to walk a mile and a half to school in what can only be described as the wrath of Poseidon this morning! The walk is normally such a nice part of the day, but this morning I was practically flying her like a kite!

Moore was raised in Kansas City and then moved to New York City early in the 1920s; she moved often in that decade, working in Chicago, Dallas and Oklahoma City. She played with Charlie Johnson's ensemble at Small's Paradise, and recorded with him in 1927-28. Her output from 1923-27 amounts to 44 tunes, some recorded under the name Susie Smith; her sidemen included Tommy Ladnier, Jimmy O'Bryant, Jimmy Blythe, Bob Fuller, Rex Stewart, Bubber Miley, and Elmer Snowden.
In the 1930s, Moore recorded with Fats Waller (1932), filled in for Ethel Waters as an understudy, and sang with Zinky Cohn in Chicago in 1937. Around 1940 she sang in New York with Sidney Bechet and Sammy Price, and then moved to Los Angeles in 1942, where she performed often in nightclubs. She appeared in James P. Johnson's revue Sugar Hill and appeared in numerous films in minor roles. Moore recorded again in 1945-47. She played with the Young Men of New Orleans at Disneyland in 1961-62, and died of a heart attack that year.

Foodie's getaway to Portland
Northwest city emerges as a hip, convenient weekend destination
PORTLAND, Ore. If you think Portland is simply a city filled with neurotic "Portlandia" types — vintage-clad, eco-conscious, organic, free-trade coffee-drinking, chicken-raising über-hipsters — you'd be wrong. Sure, you'll find all that (which is pretty cool), but you'll also find that Portland is a dynamic, cosmopolitan city offering cutting-edge restaurants, upscale shopping and vibrant arts. n And since it likes being green, Portland makes it easy to go carless. Take the fantastic MAX Light Rail (the public transportation system) or simply walk. With a short 2½ hour flight from San Diego, Portland may just become your weekend getaway destination of choice.
1 p.m: Kick off your weekend with a fun lunch on the go at one of Portland's food truck "pods," which collectively house more than 500 trucks (www.foodcartsportland.com). You'll feel energized by the spicy pork tacos with Korean BBQ sauce at Korean Twist or the Tofu Seaweed Wrap and pork pot stickers at Bulkogi Fusion (SW 5th Avenue and Oak Street).
2 p.m. : Soak in some culture at the Portland Art Museum (portlandartmuseum.org), which has impressive collections of Asian, Native American and Northwest art.
4 p.m.: Refuel with happy hour at Gruner (527 SW 12th Ave.), a stylish eatery offering craft cocktails and Alpine cuisine such as beet-pickled hard-boiled eggs and house-made charcuterie.
7 p.m.: Head over to Living Room Theaters (341 SW Tenth Ave.), a sleek movie house with a cafe/bar where you can share small plates and drinks before your flick.
10 p.m.: Enjoy a late-night dinner at Clyde Common, a foodie hangout housed in the hip Ace Hotel (1014 SW Stark St.). Cozy up to a communal table to chat with locals while you savor seasonally inspired and artisan dishes such as fiddlehead fern pasta, roasted local steelhead (trout) with barley, blood oranges and carrot vinaigrette, and grilled steak with bone marrow, smoked onions and roasted vegetable gratin.
9 a.m.: It's time for a caffeine and sugar buzz, so put on your comfortable shoes, head over to the famed Voodoo Doughnuts (22 SW 3rd Ave.), and be prepared to wait (it's worth it). Try kitschy treats like The Loop, a vanilla frosted doughnut covered in Fruit Loops, or go with a classic glazed or French cruller. Take your treats, exit Voodoo, turn left, and a few doors down, enter one of the many Portland-born Stumptown Coffee Roasters for a rich brew. Voodoo and Stumptown make a beautiful couple.
10 a.m.: Burn off some of your doughnut calories with a walk through the outdoor Portland Saturday Market (portlandsaturdaymarket.com); it has a dazzling array of local artisan-produced arts and crafts ranging from jewelry and textiles to glassware and pottery.
Noon: Quell stomach growls with a New York deli-inspired lunch of fluffy potato latkes, creamy cheese blintzes and hefty sandwiches, including hot pastrami and beef tongue on toasted rye, at Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen (1038 Stark St.).
1:30 p.m.: Pop across the street to Powell's City of Books (1005 West Burnside), the Promised Land for bookworms. With close to 70,000 square feet of retail space, it's easy to get lost, so grab a map on your way in. Really. Then, explore, read and relax.

Carmarthenshire priest set to star in TV series
Posted: October 13, 2012|
A SINGLE mum from Carmarthenshire who trained to be a priest will star in a new television series.
Alex Grace, now assistant curate in Tenby, was one of a number of trainee priests who were followed around for a year by cameras at St Michael's College, Cardiff.
Her journey will be featured in Vicar Academy on BBC 1 Wales starting on Monday.
The cameras followed them into prisons to help offenders, to schools to lead assemblies, to hospitals to visit sick and dying people, on the streets to feed the homeless and to the seat of government to campaign.
The documentary captures the challenging varied life those called to ministry can expect today.
Alex, 41, who grew up in Penbre and was sent to train from the Cynwyl Elfed group of churches in the north of Carmarthen, is shown during her third and last year at the college.
The cameras followed her preparing for her ordination in the summer at St Davids Cathedral, being ordained and settling with her two children, Elizabeth, 11, and Hannah, 9, in her very first parish in Tenby.
She said: "The cameras were there on the first day of my last year at St Michael's, and my last day there too.
"I look forward — albeit with some degree of trepidation — to seeing the results of those hours of filming."
Vicar Academy starts on October 15 at 10.35pm on BBC 1 Wales.

Taechyd (Tle) is a police officer who was ordered to go into hiding by his superior after his case with a drug dealer fell apart when the evidence against the criminal disappeared. Techit goes and lives at a resort run by Sitrang (Cheer), his childhood friend. They both wanted to become cops ever since they were young. Both of them made it, but Sritrung had to quit after both her parents died in an accident and she ends up having to take care of the corn farm and resort. Eventually, Taechyd meets Siangwaan (Min) a ghost who doesn't remember anything and knows nothing.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Spoilers: Season 3 Finale Spoiler Roundup
The Pretty Little Liars Season 3 finale (Season 3, Episode 24: "A dAngerous gAme") is only a few hours away, and we're desperate for all the spoilers about it we can find. We've rounded the juiciest spoilers up to help pass the time between now and the episode.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
Synopsis. The synopsis of the episode says: "Spencer is back home and presenting a good front, but Aria, Hanna and Emily are not so sure their friend is fully back after seeing how fragile she was just a day or so before. Unfortunately the girls don't have much time to ponder Spencer's health as shocking revelations are brought to the forefront. With so much happening and new information being uncovered, will the Liars be ready for what is waiting for them?"
It's bigger than ever: Marlene promises the finale is like a 60 min movie, and calls it "big and bold." She even says "somehow we just keep getting bigger." Can this finale really top the last few?
Shocks, twists, and answers: Marlene has teased that there are three shocking twists in the finale, and promises the final scene will give viewers "answers [they] have been waiting for." Shay Mitchell (Emily) says that something "is revealed" and there's a "huge event that takes place." Exciting!
Meanwhile, Keegan Allen (Toby Cavanaugh) says the finale will "shock everyone in the world," Janel Parrish thinks it's the most shocking episode ever, and writer Andy Reaser thinks "it will make a lot of teenage girls explode."
Divisive? Executive Producer Oliver Goldstick told us the episode will be divisive.
Red Coat revealed: One answer we know we get: The girl in the red coat will be revealed. PLL producer Oliver Goldstick says that Red Coat is "who you might think, yes," but, "it's not definitive. The finale is a shocker."
Also, multiple "A"s: A "couple" members of the "A" team will be revealed in the finale, and we'll pretty much see the whole team in all its glory, plus we'll gain a better understanding of its inner workings. We will also learn how the "A" team was assembled: Recruitment, or blackmail?
Is Toby dead? Is Jason? Some photographic evidence seems to hint Jason (Drew Van Acker) is actually the one who's dead, and done up to look like Toby (Keegan Allen), but who knows? Either way, we will find out the truth about Toby's fate this week. Keegan Allen says he is in the episode. We think it's because Toby's alive, but it could be for a flashback.
Spencer's world is turned upside down: Troian Bellisario (Spencer) says we can expect to see Spencer's world turned upside down. Is it because she finds out Toby is alive after all? Is it because of Red Coat's identity?
Ezra is in the finale: Lucy Hale (Aria) says Ezria fans are "in for a ride," and it looks like he's back at Rosewood High for some reason.
Who will finish what they started? One of Marlene's first finale hints was the phrase "I think I'll finish what I started." But who is the "I" in that sentence? The main "A"? Alison (Sasha Pieterse)? Marlene herself?
A key character is back: Remember the waitress who told one member of the "A" team that s/he had "pretty eyes" at the end of the Season 2 summer finale? She's back.
Fire? Some of Marlene King's cryptic tweets suggest a fire could be involved, and the promos seem to confirm that.
Script sneak peeks: Get some sneak peeks of the script here.
The Hitchcock influence: As always, the finale is inspired by a Hitchcock film. In this case, it's North by Northwest.
A new mystery: The finale will also launch a new mystery for Season 4.
Find more Pretty Little Liars spoilers here.
Catch the Season 3 finale on tonight, March 19, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

23 September 2013
Centrica plc has taken the decision not to proceed with its new-build gas storage project at Baird in the UK Southern North Sea and to put its project at Caythorpe in East Yorkshire on hold indefinitely. This decision was taken in light of weak economics for storage projects and the announcement by the UK Government on 4 September ruling out intervention in the market to encourage additional gas storage capacity to be built.
As a result of this decision, Centrica will write off all costs incurred and committed on these projects and expects to recognise impairments and provisions totalling approximately £240 million as an exceptional cost in the Group's 2013 preliminary financial results.

Press Releases
Oberstar succeeds in preserving EPA LIbrary access
Washington DC - Congressman Jim Oberstar wants to know which documents the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to destroy before they hit the paper shredder. This week, EPA officials announced they would delay plans to close a number of the agencies' scientific libraries, including the EPA library in Duluth and destroy thousands of documents. The closures were designed to save money and limit public access to this data for national security reasons.
Oberstar is concerned the library closures could limit the ability of independent scientists to review the work the EPA is doing. "It's our job to make sure that we leave clean air and water for our children and grandchildren," said Oberstar. "Without scientific review of the EPA's work and policies there is no way we can know for certain if the agency is acting in the public's best interest."
On November 30th, Oberstar joined with Representatives: John Dingell, D-Mich.; Bart Gordon, D-Tenn.; and Henry Waxman, D-Calif.; and wrote a letter to EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson. It expressed concerns about the EPA plan stating that a "vast and invaluable trove of public health and environmental information" is in danger of being lost.
"Congress has the duty to provide oversight, so we know that the Bush administration is acting in the public's best interest," Oberstar said. "We can't just let the Bush administration shut down libraries, such as the one in Duluth, and start shredding documents without first knowing what could be lost. I am told that many of these documents will be made available online, but the agency needs to come to the Congress and explain how this is going to work and show us that their new system will be better."

The longest running duathlon event in the country is on its final leg and this time its even harder the the previous two legs with its standard duathlon distance of 10km Run – 40km Bike – 5km Run. The third leg of the event held on its new location at Nuvali, Sta. Rosa and its my first time to actually do a race there. Greenhills tri team were almost at full force with members present are: Sherwyn, Carlo, Igo, Jevon, Alfredo, Jeng and James.
The course at Nuvali is relatively flat with a few steep climbs during the bike leg that made it difficult of participants during the first half of the bike leg. The hot sunny weather took a toll on a lot of participants as there were a lot of DNF's (Did not finish) and most participants cramping especially during the 2nd run leg. There was a incident on the first run leg where a participant collapsed and even needed medics.
Congratulations to our very own Igo Velasco on taking the 2nd place of his Age Group division.

For any other meal, you can easily make small changes (such as swapping whole-grain bread for white rolls) to try to get your family to eat healthier. But at Thanksgiving dinner, they're going to notice""and they're probably not going to be very happy.
Luckily, there are some clever ways you can adjust traditional Thanksgiving recipes to cut down on calories, fat and sugar""without anyone even knowing. While writing out your shopping list for next week's feast, keep these tips in mind:

3. Top sweet potato casseroles with chopped pecans instead of marshmallows
4. Use yogurt or fat-free sour cream for dips and creamy dishes
5. Make mushroom gravy instead of meat-based gravy
6. Use whole wheat bread, and go heavy on veggies, for stuffing
7. Make salad dressing with flaxseed or hemp oil
8. Skip canned cranberry""make a simple sauce from crushed berries, apple cider and sugar (you'll find many basic recipes online)

North Branford—On Saturday October 22, 2011 students raced around town for North Branford's 22nd annual community Round-Up.
It took place at the North Branford Intermediate School, many schools in town such as North Branford High School and Intermediate School and a few students from Totoket Valley Elementary School went around collecting food items. The director of the event Kim Owlens said "you need a lot of school spirit to get the school in on it."
The first place team collected 775 food items in addition to monetary donations. All 34 teams together collected well over 12,000 food items and also money donations which topped last year's total. $1,000 was collected in donations. All of the food items went to North Branford's food bank. The effort put into this event shows the character and citizenship that goes on throughout the town of North Branford. In the end, all the hard work and time put in paid off. This years community round-up was a huge success.

Basement Flooding, Continued
Draining the flood water from the basement
Start out by picking up one or two small portable pumps from your local hardware or home improvement store. You'll rest easier once you have these babies sitting on a shelf in your garage (and not on the other side of your flooded basement).
Most portable pumps can be fitted with either a garden hose or a larger diameter drain hose. Spend the money on the larger drain hose, if you can ... a high capacity pump should be able to push more water through the bigger fitting. Be sure to buy enough drain hose to get the water far away from the foundation of your house (lest the flood water re-enter your basement).
When you're shopping for pumps, take note of the intake area. Some pumps will drain the water almost all the way to the floor. Larger pumps may leave 3/8" deep puddles (or more) on the concrete. (I use a smaller Little Giant 1/6 HP Utility Pump that drains to 1/8" and a larger pump to handle the heavy-duty work.)

A charity foundation under Tolaram International Group, an Indian Company based in Lagos, has collaborated with the Centre for Advocacy for Persons with Disability (CAPWA) to donate over 200 prosthetics to amputees from Plateau State in Abuja.
The coordinator, Mr. Jaiprakash Bidlan, said that the donation, introduced in March 2009, brought to 2,400, the number of people with disability assisted so far. According to him, the donations also formed part of their corporate social responsibility towards their host communities.
"We started our activities in Nigeria since 1976 and from then till now, we have corporate offices in Nigeria. This charity foundation is under Tolaran international group, we want to give something free to Nigerians through our charity. We are giving free artificial limbs, cosmetic hands, for those people who cannot afford them", he said.
"We are motivated to do more because people are happy, they are going to start their lives afresh".
The Senior Special Assistant to the Plateau State Governor on disability, Mr. James David Laluo, commended the commitment by the organisation to assist amputees in Nigeria, describing it as very excellent. He said his office was in partnership with the charity foundation through the center for Advocacy for persons with disability to spread the benefit to all.

Lifetime greenlights Nicholas Sparks' Civil War series 'Deliverance Creek'
The romance whisperer Nicholas Sparks is teaming up with Lifetime to create what is sure to be the saddest, most romantic series ever.
The network has just green-lit a backdoor pilot from the romance novelist, the network announced on Wednesday (August 14). The series, "Deliverance Creek," is set at the end of the Civil War and focuses on a woman trying to defend her family's land. However, she ends up butting heads with her town's corrupt bank, which forces her to become an outlaw.
Lifetime will air "Deliverance Creek" as a two-hour TV movie that has the potential to turn into a series. This would run the same vein as the launch plan for "The Client List."
What do you think of Sparks' latest venture? Will his partnership with Lifetime equal maximal amount of tears, or will it be too much for you to handle emotionally?

Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium:
Assessing Health Impacts and Documenting Observed Changes
Click Here
for PDF version.
The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium's (ANTHC) Center for Climate and Health has done a tremendous amount of work over the past four years to support Alaska Native communities in chronicling climate change impacts on the landscape and on human health. Staff members from the center apply their "engineering, environmental health and community health experience to perform assessments, develop community-appropriate strategies, and to describe climate-health connections."
Much of the early work has focused on areas of Alaska with high climate vulnerability, including the Northwest Arctic. Impacts of climate change in the Northwest Arctic region range from thinning sea and river ice, to permafrost melting and coastal erosion. Though many research groups are working to identify and monitor the changing environmental conditions around Alaska, ANTHC's approach is unique both in its data collection methods and its focus, namely community-based adaptation strategies.
In order to create effective adaptation strategies, leaders must consider a whole host of climate-influenced health concerns. For instance, "climate change can indirectly increase the risk of infectious disease by damaging and disrupting water and sanitation infrastructure" (Brubaker et al., 2011b). Climate change can also threaten food s ecurity for communities that rely on traditional, permafrost-encapsulated storage cellars. The loss of reliable refrigeration can in turn increase incidence of food borne diseases and can attract large predatory mammals, such as bears, to population centers.
ANTHC employs western science, traditional ecological knowledge, and a vast network of climate change impact "observers" to develop comprehensive, community-scaled climate change health assessments (CCHA). These assessments, which include adaptation recommendations for individual communities, tackle complex health issues that span the fields of both climate science and epidemiology. Part of the impetus for creating CCHAs was a desire to provide support to community leaders who are tasked with creating protective climate change adaptation strategies in response to unpredictable and rapidly changing environmental conditions. CCHAs provide technical input and relevant data for community leaders who face the daunting challenge of drafting adaptation plans.
Mike Brubaker, Director of the Center for Climate and Health at ANTHC, has worked for years with Alaska Native communities that are being directly impacted by climate change. Through this experience, Brubaker has been able to identify a practical, stepwise process for communities initiating a climate change adaptation campaign. The process includes the following steps:
Raise awareness
Identify your network
Engage in climate dialogue
Be a local environmental observer
Describe your climate baseline
Identify climate vulnerabilities
Develop targeted adaptation strategies
Climate Change Health Assessment Reports
Project Implementation and Progress
The very first assessment report was developed for Point Hope, Alaska in early 2009. Since that initial CCHA, a total of five Alaska Native communities have participated in the comprehensive assessment process. The communities, which include Point Hope, Kivalina, Noatak, Kiana, and Selawik, reside in geographically and culturally unique villages ranging in size from 360-700 residents. Each of the community-tailored reports focuses on, "local observations and traditional seasonal time scales, on [synthesizing] climate and health causal chains, and on a broadly participatory framework, which combines Indigenous and Western knowledge systems" (Brubaker et al., 2011a). More specifically, the assessments each include, "descriptions of climate-health mechanisms, vulnerability by health category, measures of health risks and benefits, principles for adaptation planning and specific public health recommendations."
Rather than highly generalized regional assessments, local leaders can turn to CCHAs to better understand the temporally and spatially specific "climate-health vulnerabilities" (Brubaker et al., 2011a) identified for their particular community. Negative health impacts associated with climate change range from compromised drinking water and wastewater infrastructure, to changes in the prevalence of zoonotic diseases. ANTHC assessment authors consider health holistically and detail not only the physical, but also the mental health effects of climate change on Alaska Native community members.
This tremendous resource is produced through collaborations between ANTHC staff and tribal representatives and professionals. Brubaker et al. (2011a) describe the four-step process used to create a Climate Change Health Assessment report as follows:
(1) Scoping to describe local conditions and engage stakeholders
(2) Surveying to collect descriptive and quantitative data
(3) Analysis to evaluate the data
(4) Planning to communicate findings and explore appropriate actions with community members
As a follow up to the five completed profiles, the Center plans to conduct three community-based assessments in Bristol Bay, four in Alaska's North Slope region, and three in Norton Sound. The estimated dates of completion vary by region, but all assessments are scheduled to take place within the next three years.
Importantly, Mike Brubaker explains, the climate change health assessments constitute only the first in a two-phase process. During the first phase, the goal is to partner with communities and collect climate-relevant data, and then synthesize the results into a comprehensive report. Also during the first phase, ANTHC staff work with communities to identify which resources are already available for adaptation planning and which additional resources or projects are needed. The second phase, meanwhile, focuses on implementation of the projects that were recommended during phase 1.
Completed Tasks Include:
Publication of five CCHA reports
Plans in place to complete an additional 10 reports within the next 3 years
Staff members from the center are currently developing metrics to better evaluate the magnitude of climate vulnerabilities within Alaska Native communities (i.e. water resources, food security)
Communities that have already completed the assessment phase are now moving into the project implementation phase. These communities will receive direct support from the Center for improvements to water, food, sanitation, and medical infrastructure.
Local Environmental Observer (LEO) Network:
Project Implementation and Progress
The LEO Network is sponsored by the ANTHC and currently includes over 100 individuals in 60 communities throughout Alaska. LEOs are "tribal environmental professionals who apply traditional knowledge, western science and technology to document unusual plants and wildlife, extreme weather, erosion, flooding, droughts, wildfire and other events that can threaten food security, water security and community health." LEOs receive monthly training through webinars and have support from ANTHC throughout the year. In addition, the Center has created internal quality control (QC) protocol for incoming observations to ensure that the data reported through the website meets a certain degree of analytical rigor.
Observations may include photos, videos, and written accounts. Once submitted via the online reporting system, LEO observations are made publically available so that interested parties throughout the region can learn more about local climate change observations.
The network has compiled a comprehensive database of observations since its inception in 2011. Typical entries include observed environmental trends like thinning sea or river ice, permafrost melt, and coastal erosion, as well as discrete events or observations (i.e. discovery of a non-native fish skeleton). Mike Brubaker explains that the goal is to have LEO participants throughout the state of Alaska chronicling climate-induced changes in the natural environment. This will help to provide critical monitoring data so that communities can track short and long-term shifts in the surrounding environs. The data can ultimately inform adaptation strategies and obviate the need for climate change mitigation throughout the global community.
To access the LEO database, please visit (
). Maps with local observations spanning from winter 2011 through fall 2012 are available through the LEO website.
Completed Tasks Include:
There are now over 142 trained professionals (LEOs) enrolled in the LEO network
These registered LEOs are actively collecting and reporting data from 84 communities (83 Alaskan communities and 1 community in the Northwest Territories of Canada)
In addition to managing the LEO network database, the Center also hosts LEO-themed tracks during state-wide environmental management conferences
Challenges and Lessons Learned
When asked about the most significant challenges that his team has encountered, Brubaker responded that one major challenge has been acquiring resources for Alaska Native communities affected by climate change. He explained that climate change impacts can be readily observed across the landscape in Alaska local residents live with the effects of climate change on a daily basis. Resources to fund adaptation and mitigation have been slow coming however, because the global community's perception of climate change belies the urgency and immediacy of the resulting needs. In response to this challenge, Brubaker explains that we must "mainstream climate change adaptation" and help to ensure that climate-vulnerable communities are adequately protected.
With regard to lessons learned, the ANTHC staff point out that every Alaska Native community is unique and that each is experiencing "a range of climate impacts that are having effects on health." These climate-health impacts frequently relate to water resources, food supply, and sanitation infrastructure. Nonetheless, the issues vary from one community to the next, and it is only by engaging with community leaders and local residents and professionals that staff members can evaluate suitable avenues for adaptation.
ANTHC staff emphasize that many impacted communities are already employing creative adaptation techniques. Intervention and support are needed nonetheless because as Brubaker explains, "the scale of the disruption that's happening is beyond the resources and capacity of rural Alaskan communities to deal with."

I know that Airtronics has long since been gone but I was hoping that someone could help me out with a wiring diagram so I can figure out where the wires need to go to install both the connectors that you use to install this unit inline with the battery going to the gun. What I have learned is that all you do is plug this into the gun and then plug the battery into this unit and anytime you want to you can just unplug it and remove it from the gun without any kind of rewire job to the gun. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Commence wrecking
Bobcat machines and attachments hold up well in harsh demolition applications
Members of the McPherson family: (back row, left to right) grandson Mitch, son Scott, son Craig, son Shannon and grandson Shannon Jr. Front row are Sara and Virgil. Not pictured is grandson Laramie.
In the competitive demolition business, a company that owns its own equipment has an advantage, especially on projects where the schedule is an important factor. That, says Scott McPherson, is one of the reasons the firm started by his parents 46 years ago has been so successful.
�These days, in our industry, you have to find every competitive advantage possible, whether it is bid work or negotiated,� he says. �Owning our equipment makes us more competitive. We are not dependent on renting machines or getting them from someone else. We can match the equipment to the job. That�s a big key to being productive and efficient.
"Plus, we arrive at the job with dependable equipment that doesn�t break down, even in a difficult work environment. We are not constantly trying to keep a machine running. As a company that is on the front-end of a schedule, we need to get in, do our job and get out so others can follow.�
Demolition lineup
Among the equipment that helps keep McPherson Wrecking, Inc. working efficiently are eight Bobcat� skid-steer loaders and two compact excavators. The machines, purchased from White Star Machinery in Topeka, Kan., are able to handle a variety of on-site demolition duties because the company also owns about two dozen Bobcat attachments.
�We have been extremely pleased with our Bobcat equipment,� says McPherson, who manages project bidding for the Topeka-based company. �The machines have proven to be very durable in difficult working conditions. At the same time, Bobcat attachments are every bit as tough as the loaders and excavators.
Other Bobcat attachments include a Brushcat� rotary cutter, drop hammer, planer, scraper, vibratory roller, pallet forks, excavator trenching buckets, three industrial grapples, four hydraulic breakers and eight additional loader buckets.
�Whether we are busting concrete with a breaker, tearing down a wall with a grapple or removing tile with a scraper, all of our Bobcat attachments stand up to the job. If they weren�t tough and durable, we wouldn�t keep buying them.�
Family works together
McPherson�s parents, Virgil and Sara, started the company in 1966 right after one of the costliest tornadoes in U.S. history tore through Topeka. They built the business into a leader in commercial, industrial and residential demolition in eastern Kansas. In addition to Scott, two other sons are active in the business. Shannon manages projects in the field while Craig manages the maintenance shop and the family�s 550-acre farm operation. Also, grandson Mitch works full-time in the business as an equipment operator and grandson Laramie works part-time.
�Much of our work is repeat business with government agencies, school districts and general contractors,� McPherson says. �Whether it is a total demolition project or selective, they know we bring reliability to the job. Our Bobcat equipment is an important part of what makes us successful.�

Military bases have their own protection services, including fire departments. Military firefighting units are responsible for protecting lives and property from fire. Firefighters put out, control, and help prevent fires in buildings, aircraft, and aboard ships.
What They Do
Firefighters in the military perform some or all of the following duties:
Where They Work
Firefighters work indoors and outdoors while fighting fires. They are exposed to the smoke, heat, and flames of the fires they fight.
Opportunities in Civilian Life
Civilian firefighters work for city and county fire departments, other government agencies, and industrial firms. They perform duties similar to those performed by military firefighters, including rescue and salvage work.
Physical Requirements
Good vision without glasses and a clear speaking voice are required to enter some specialties in this occupation.
Firefighters have to climb ladders and stairs. They must also be able to lift and carry injured personnel.
Every day, more than a million meals are prepared in military kitchens. Some kitchens prepare thousands of meals at one time, while others prepare food for small groups of people. Food service specialists prepare all types of food according to standard and dietetic recipes. They also order and inspect food supplies and prepare meats for cooking.
Food service specialists in the military perform some or all of the following duties:
Food service specialists normally work in clean, sanitary kitchens and dining facilities. They may sometimes work in refrigerated meat lockers. Sometimes they work outdoors in tents while preparing and serving food under field conditions.
Civilian food service specialists work in cafes, restaurants, and cafeterias. They also work in hotels, hospitals, manufacturing plants, schools, and other organizations that have their own dining facilities. Depending on specialty, food service specialists are called cooks, chefs, bakers, butchers, or meat cutters.
Food service specialists may have to lift and carry heavy containers of foodstuffs and large cooking utensils.
The military services have their own law enforcement and security specialists. These specialists investigate crimes committed on military property or that involve military personnel. They also guard inmates in military correctional facilities.
Law enforcement and security specialists in the military perform some or all of the following duties:
Law enforcement and security specialists in the military work mainly indoors; they may work outdoors while conducting investigations or guarding prisoners in exercise yards.
Civilian law enforcement and security specialists work in federal, state, and local prisons, intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and private security companies. They perform similar duties to those performed in the military. They may be called detectives, private investigators, undercover agents, corrections officers, or guards.
Normal color vision is necessary to enter some specialties in this area. Some specialties have minimum age and height requirements.
The services have their own police forces for many of the same reasons that civilians do: to control traffic, prevent crime, and respond to emergencies. Military police protect lives and property on military bases by enforcing military laws and regulations.

Funky Asia
159 Commercial Street
East London
020 7247 0072
Funky Asia | Spitalfields Restaurant
Funky [fun-kee], adj:
1. Having a moldy or musty smell: ie funky cheese.
2. Of or relating to music that has an earthy quality reminiscent of the blues.
3. Characterized by originality and modishness; unconventional.
4. Outlandishly vulgar or eccentric in a humorous or tongue-in-cheek manner; campy.
Happy to report, first off, that the "funk" at Funky Asia doesn't refer to the scent of this new Pan Asian restaurant in Spitalfields.
Neither is the Funky Asia name inspired by music reminiscent of the blues, or indeed of any combination of musical elements found within jazz, blues or soul (syncopated rhythms, heavy bass lines etc).
It's just funky.
Having got off to a slightly tricky start (the restaurant's owner parted company with his General Manager just before Funky Asia officially opened), it is worth a visit – largely for the fun and the randomness of it all.
The eclectic menu from executive chef Danh Huu Bui (ex-Roka and Nobu) incorporates items that appear to have arrived from all over Southeast Asia – Japanese-style mushroom gyoza; seared beef with Vietnamese honey soy and cucumber salad; miso soup; selections of Sushi, Sashimi and Toban; and main courses that include Korean-style lamb chops, Hanoi-style duck breast, spicy Thai chicken, and sea bream - steamed Vietnamese-style.
Funky Asia is all about casual dining: good, well-priced food in a vibrant and unique space filled with coloured lights, steel cladding and scattered chesterfields.
In summary, it's something different.
Funky Asia [Fun-kee Aiz-sha], n:
1.Nothing to do with jazz, blues (or any derivative of either one).
2.New restaurant to be applauded for being the most unusual restaurant in Spitalfields, and for creating a fun and unconventional environment in which to sample a diverse range of traditional and modern Asian fare.

The Voice of Collision Repair Professionals
The premier publication for the Canadian autobody
repair and refinish market
Impact Auto Auctions officially opened its new facility in Oshawa Ontario, calling it Canada's largest auto salvage auction operation.
The new 37-acre facility, at 535 Wentworth Street west in Oshawa, Ont., within sight of General Motors' flagship assembly plant in Canada, has a 5,500 vehicle lot as well as 12,000 square feet of office, auction and inspection space.
There is also training space for insurance appraisers and an enhanced early tow and appraisal area.
There are also plans to add a 4,000 square foot structure for storing motorcycles and other vehicles that should be protected from the elements.
Opening for operations on the day, the first vehicle through, a 2013 Lexus GS450 Hybrid with considerable rear-end damage, sold to a Montreal buyer for $27,000 in furious bidding.
The addition of the facility will add some 60% in storage capacity for the auction company in the Greater Toronto Area. Much of the inventor from Impact's Stouffville, Ont., facility—approximately 800 cars will be moved down to the Oshawa facility, though some will likely remain for a time.
Impact's managing director Terry Daniels says that, in addition to the full function LiveBlock Hybrid Auction technology allows on-line bidders to go toe to toe with bidders on the floor, and the Run and Drive flow allows for rapid cycling of vehicles through the auction lane.
"LiveBlock and Run and Drive present huge advantages for sellers and buyers. By showcasing the unique condition of vehicles and attracting Canada's largest buyer base, we create an exciting, high-energy auction that brings the right money for each vehicle.
As part of the grand opening, Impact also presented a $5,000 cheque to Feed the Need Durham, which supports 48 emergency food providers in the Durham Region.

The Godfather of Ska Opens his Wardrobe...
Saturday, 26th Mar 2011
Earning the accolade of 'The Godfather of Ska', Laurel Aitken has been recognised as one of the most exciting artists of the past hundred years, being at the forefront of the Raggae, Ska, 2-Tone and Skinhead movements. Famous for tracks such as Skinhead Invasion and Scandal in Brixton Market, Laurel moved to Leicester in 1970 and worked hard to inspire and motivate young musicians.
Paying homage to the artist this month is Ska with Laurel an exhibition curated by the New Walk museum in Leicester showcasing the life and work of Laurel Aitken.
A large focus of the exhibition is Laurel's stage costumes – from sequined blazers to classic pork pie hats, the artist's clothing was always as fresh as his music. Laurel and the pioneers of the Ska movement spurred a new fashion scene as many were inspired by their sharp and subversive style – a look which is still championed today.
Ska with Laurel is taking place until the 8th of May 2011 at the New Walk Museum, Leicester. http://www.leicester.gov.uk/skawithlaurel/

Billions of dollars from 'Intel Inside': How the IDPF could learn from the world-famous chip logo
August 21, 2007 | 8:52 am
By David Rothman
Consider all the billions of dollars of hardware that Intel has moved with its "Intel Inside" logo. People want simplicity, the assurance that their computer-related products will just work. No company is perfect, but a trustworthy name can improve the odds for shoppers.
"Intel Inside" is a powerful lesson for the e-book industry, which badly needs a branded standard worthy of the public's confidence.
How easy can e-books be to buy and enjoy, right now, when more than 20 clashing formats show up on a list at Memoware? Global e-book sales most likely are still well under $200 million, a mere speck of the tens of billions of sales of paper books, and the Tower of eBabel is no small reason, even if it's hardly the only one.
Intel-style strategy as a kickstart for e-book sales
Mightn't an "Intel Inside" approach be just the ticket to kick-start the sales of hardware and software related to e-books, not to mention the books themselves?
Branding of the new epub standard, then, from the International Digital Publishing Forum, could help dramatically. Consumers should be able to buy a cellphone, PDA, dedicated e-book-reader or other device and know that its e-book software will be compatible with the wares of e-stores displaying the same logo. On hardware loaded with e-pub-compatible software, the epub logo could appear as a sticker on the machines, on start-up screens, on the boxes, in the documentation, or ideally in all places. E-books should be CD-easy, and in fact, CD audio vendors have the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo to remind us of the simplicity of using their technology.
Within the world of computer hardware, though, one of the most remunerative branding campaigns just might be Intel's own. In a quote in Intel Inside(R) Program: Anatomy of a Marketing Campaign, a marketer named Dennis Carter recalls: "I believe that there has been a lot more (industry wide) advertising because of the Intel Inside® program than there would have been otherwise. That has helped to create more PC demand. If you believe that advertising works, then more people are getting educated about the benefits of the PC because of the Intel Inside® program." Ironically the "Inside" logo was so successful that Intel could replace it with logos that went beyond the basics. But Intel is just one company. The IDPF should stay focused on the logo as a universal certifier to reassure consumers as new hardware, programs and e-books come and go.
Benefits for many—and a boost for the IDPF in its war against Microsoft
Simply put, we're not just talking about benefits to the IDPF itself but also—just as in the case of the Intel program—many billions of dollars of potential sales for the industry as a whole. An epub campaign would be a great marketing peg for all kinds of vendors, everyone from e-reader developers to participating book publishers, and even newspaper book sections could come out ahead, as beneficiaries of e-book-related advertising. E-books—not just for geeks only! Laudably, Sony has advertised its E Ink-based readers in book sections, and I hope that other vendors follow, especially in newspapers with cash-strapped book sections. A strong logoized epub campaign would be a good, legitimate news angle to reinforce the ads and along the way promote e-books.
What's more, we're talking about a potential triumph of epub as a better-branded alternative than the competition. Can you recall any slogan as catchy from AMD, Intel's main rival? In the IDPF's case, the rival is Microsoft, a far bigger and better-financed corporation than AMD. The sooner the IDPF can crank up a strong branding campaign, the more of a head start it will enjoy over Microsoft, which, on e-book standards matters, has decided to go its own way. AMD, regardless of the technological superiority of many of its products, never could catch up with the superior marketing approach at Intel.
Decoupling the IDPF standard from the DRM debate
In the ideal world, better technology alone would suffice, and indeed the IDPF standard has many positives going for it. But all this will come to naught if brilliant Windows evangelists at Microsoft can turn their e-book products instead into the equivalent of the Intel chips. Granted, large e-book-related companies like Adobe can try to outgun Microsoft, but it will be far easier to do so if they can focus on differences in e-reading and -creating software, as opposed to formats.
One of the best ways to counter Microsoft on the format front, and win over consumers, would be to emphasize the cross-platform, device-independent aspects of the new standard, no Windows needed, no holy operating system required. The core format, moreover, is decoupled from DRM, as in fact Nick Bogaty, the IDPF executive director, has made clear in a comment to the if:book blog: "While software can certainly wrap .epub in DRM, there is absolutely nothing in the specs which requires or mandates DRM. In fact, you can download sample .epub files at http://www.idpf.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=5, change the file extension to '.zip', open the zip file, and have full access to the markup, images etc. of the digital book. We chose ZIP for .epub largely because ZIP applications were so prevalent and…open."
Not perfect, but remedies promised
No, the IDPF format isn't perfect; for example, I would like to see more work in such areas as reliable interbook linking, and it does not resolve the incompatibilities resulting from different vendors' DRM systems. But Nick has promised that the group will work to address the linking issue and others, including the DRM one.
Meanwhile, in a logo context, there is an easy way around the DRM complications. Release a blue epub1 logo for nonDRMed books while making it clear in the publicity that a green epub2 logo is planned to cover both encrypted and nonencrypted books and replace the blue label. This would be a nice, fair solution for both DRM-oriented publishers and those like Baen that believe the technology harms e-books. Also, the logo would be out there promoting the standard while debates took place within the IDPF over the kinds of DRM used—a process that could take many months and maybe years, while Microsoft forged ahead.
Such a dual approach would level with consumers and, once and for all, separate the core standards issue from the DRM-or-no-DRM controversy.
Epub1, moreover, could work with books using social DRM, which differs from traditional DRM since protection occurs through owner-specific identifications on books, not encryption. Social DRM can be implemented at the server end and neatly avoid the issue of software and hardware incompatibilities on consumers' machines.
To avoid confusion, the IDPF would not let vendors use epub1 with traditionally DRMed books—although, to repeat, the promo could prominently mention plans for a DRM-inclusive successor.
I know: I've made my case in business terms, rather than the socially related ones I prefer. But this is dollars-and-cents language that vendors will more likely understand. Simply put, within the IDPF, the logo issue isn't just about the benefits to society at large, but rather about profits, too. Indecision, in the long run, could prove to be very costly.

"Imagine all the billions of dollars of hardware that Intel has moved with its "Intel Inside" logo. Consumers want simplicity, the assurance that their computer-related products will just work."
I am confused here. What does the second sentence have to do with the first?
Branko: Thanks for the feedback. "Intel" means more than "Joe's Chip Iactory." Presence of a well-regarded brand name increases the chances of a working computer product. Will do a tweak to make sure my point comes through, but I think the connection is already pretty strong. – David
I think non-DRMed ebooks will be the choice of mostly the self-published books at first.
Then hopefully publishers will be forced to follow.
Keeping self-publishing in mind I'd suggest to rather have a CreativeCommons style logo, where little icons represent things.
Icons can be provided for the followings:
– .epub format
– no DRM
– document is proofread / copyedited
– document is peer-reviewed
Hey, David! why don't you host an .epub logo contest on TeleRead?
If you can get IDPF to offer a proze for the winner, it would be even better…
Tamas: Great ideas–I'd in fact been thinking myself of a contest (except that the IDPF and a design school might co-sponsor it). That said, the mere existence of a logo would be a real triumph for the core format. Thanks. David
"Presence of a well-regarded brand name increases the chances of a working computer product."
Hardly. There is no "Joe's Chip factory." There are only three or four important players in the CPU market, and none of them make CPUs that regularly crash your "computer product".
And that, I am willing to bet, is precisely why Intel is putting these ugly stickers everywhere: your computer works regardless of who the CPU manufacturer was. Intel cannot convince people to specifically ask for their product as long as nobody knows their brand name, and as long as their competitors' products are so good that no consumer is going to investigate whether they should perhaps switch CPU manufacturers. Intel cannot change the former, but it can do something about the latter.
I don't know how this pans out for your IDPF comparison.
One more thing: the important thing to take away from this is that CPU manufacturers have interoperability standards. IDPF can raise all the brand awareness it wants, if its e-books do not work with my device, I am going to be an unhappy customer, and associate the IDPF brand with a malfunctioning product. First fix your product, then work on your brand.
Branko: Thanks for helping me make my point! You write that the IDPF "can raise all the brand awareness it wants, if its e-books do not work with my device, I am going to be an unhappy customer, and associate the IDPF brand with a malfunctioning product." Exactly! IDPF is hoping for a validator for use with the standard, and I can also see it encouraging or requiring other forms of QC by software vendors. Thanks. David
I like the idea of a 'IDPF inside' logo. Before we go too crazy on this, I think we need a couple more things. First, we need some way to read them. Hopefully some of the new readers coming out will take care of this. Second, we need a free word (or OpenOffice) macro to generate them, or a free program like the Mobipocket creator. Microsoft offers a free word macro to produce Microsoft Reader documents. Mobipocket's creator is free. And there's a nice 'save as' in Open Office that will create HTML, PDF and Palm DOC files. I really don't mind overhanging the market with IDPF products that no-one can read (yet), but I sure don't want to have to pay a lot or have to hand-code XML to do it.
Rob Preece
Publisher, http://www.BooksForABuck.com
Rob re logo: Agree with your concerns, but an Adobe creation tool will already work more or less, and BookX and a possible "Save as" in Open Office could also help. As for large publishers, it's a question of just asking the conversion houses to add another format to the list. With the clout of the IDPF, hopefully "just another" will be the main show in time—especially after the final, green-colored logo appears to include DRMed books, which the big boys insist on. No overnight miracle promised. One key would be to get hardware makers to bundle software that was IDPF-compatible. Thanks. David
[…] my mind completely but my two favourites are ePub and EPUB. David at TeleRead has often mentioned the need for an ePub logo and I whole-heartedly agree. Let's get the 'look' in peoples minds and what […]
David, you mentioned BookX. Do you know if anything is happening with this? I asked this question recently (see http://www.teleread.com/blog/2007/01/31/progress-on-the-bookx-project-need-scripting-help/#comment-751500), but I guess it got pushed off screen by other comments.
Joseph: Excellent question. Over to you, Jon (Noring).
I believe Jon's answer will be that the open source community hasn't come forward. Let's hope that changes. Jon has the general vision but needs the coders to pull it off. He can fill you in on specifics as far as skillset requirements. I suspect that .php mastery would help.
Thanks for the update from both of you. Sadly, I'm not a programmer (I dabble sometimes), so I couldn't really help out.
[…] ePub still doesn't have an official logo. David Rothman of Teleread.org lamented this fact almost two years ago. (No Ratings Yet) Loading … Deadly Sting […]

A lot of people were more shocked that Nicki (from Queens) of all MC's would respond to Herb's request for a collab to work with him, since both of them make completely different kinds of Rap. No one expected her to expanding her variety into Drill, nor expected Herb to try out Hardcore, they both gave Hip-Hop a real surprise.
