'Southern Cross' propeller fragment
Two journeys of adventure
This propeller fragment comes from the Southern Cross, the three-engined Fokker aircraft flown by Australian aviator Sir Charles Kingsford Smith on pioneering flights between Australia and England in the 1920s.
The propeller was smashed during a dramatic mail flight between New Zealand and Australia in 1935.
Kingsford Smith gave this fragment to 16-year-old Victor Piper, who met the famous pilot when he landed in Australia.
In 2001 the fragment went into orbit around Earth with Australian-born astronaut Andy Thomas.
Thomas took it with him aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery to honour Sir Charles Kingsford Smith's aviation achievements.
Thomas became the first Australian citizen in space when he flew on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1996. He has completed three further journeys into Earth's orbit, including 141 days aboard the Mir space station.

Minh Tam Nguyen's 'dan tre' (bamboo musical instrument)
A Vietnamese refugee's musical connection
From 1975 Minh Tam Nguyen spent six years as a prisoner of war in the 're-education' camps of the People's Liberation Armed Forces, or Vietcong, in central Vietnam.
During breaks from hard labour, Minh invented and played a musical instrument that combined features from Vietnamese bamboo zithers and Western instruments like the guitar. He called it the dàn tre, which means 'bamboo musical instrument'.
Minh made this 23-stringed dàn tre in a Philippine refugee camp after fleeing Vietnam in 1981. He brought the instrument with him when he and his son came to Australia in 1982. Playing the dàn tre connected him to the family he had been forced to leave behind in Vietnam.

Listen to 'The dàn tre: a musical migration story' audio
Curator Jennifer Wilson detailed her research on the dàn tre in a presentation at the National Museum on 8 August 2007.
'Tales of the Souk' by Fatima Killeen
An artist's connections to Morocco
Fatima Killeen grew up in Casablanca, in Morocco. Her passion for visual arts led her overseas to study painting and photography at the prestigious Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC, in the United States. There Fatima met her Australian husband-to-be, John, and in 1994 they moved to Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory.
Killeen created Tales of the Souk, during her final year at the Canberra School of Art in 1997. She soaked the wooden pieces that make up its patterned surface with fragrant saffron, henna and black nut powder to evoke the sights and smells of the Casablanca souks, or markets.
The eight-pointed stars in the work are known in Arabic as 'khatim'. These symbols are used widely in Islamic art and patterns made up of this shape decorate mosques and homes across Morocco.

Dob Cunningham stood on a ridge overlooking the Rio Grande and surveyed the vast stretch of Maverick County where his family has ranched for more than half a century, a lonesome spread of mesquite-studded brush country that sprawled along the border. He had stood there many times over the years and watched, one hand shading his eyes from the sun, as illegal immigrants waded the river and scrambled up the banks onto his land. But they no longer crossed the Rio Grande here one or two at a time; now they came, sweat-stained and weary, in groups of twenty, forty, even one hundred people—ragtag processions of Mexico's poor that snaked across the brushland. His ranch was scarred with their footpaths, hard-packed and worn smooth. And though each morning he knelt to pick up the empty water jugs and plastic bags that skittered in their wake, he knew these were useless gestures. This land no longer felt like his own.Dob had faced droughts, disease, and dwindling returns, but this was a crisis he was powerless to stop. A meager stretch of river, he knew, could not hold back desperate people who saw the land of opportunity lying just beyond their reach. Whenever he stumbled across illegal immigrants on his land, he doctored their blistered feet and gave them dry clothes and food before turning them over to the Border Patrol. But mixed with his sympathy was bitterness too, for the relentless flow of people coming northward had taken its toll. His fences had been cut, his cattle stolen, his house robbed. He knew that at any time of the day or night, strangers might be darting, ducking, crawling, crouching, and running through his ranch. Not all of them were trying to make their way north: Drug smugglers used the same footpaths, ferrying tens of thousands of pounds of marijuana and cocaine by backpack across Maverick County ranches like his each year, often while armed lookouts kept watch from across the Rio Grande. Dob had once loved this land for the freedom its wide-open spaces provided. Now he rarely stepped outside his house without a gun.
All around him, a border war is unfolding. In only a few years, the U.S. Border Patrol station in Eagle Pass, fifteen miles downriver from the Cunningham Ranch, has been transformed from an obscure outpost into the busiest station in Texas, and the Border Patrol estimates that within two to three years, this area—from Del Rio to El Indio—will become the busiest illegal crossing point in the nation. By 2004 nearly half a million people may try to cross here each year. The inexorable flood of illegal immigrants, combined with an increasingly brazen and violent drug trade, has struck fear in even the most stubborn veterans of the border, many of whom are moving out.
Among the landowners who are staying behind, empathy for their southern neighbors has given way to anger and a new militarism. Many now patrol their land armed. Their frustration has turned unexpectedly bloody: During the past two years, Mexicans passing through this corner of South Texas have been the targets of six shootings. Two of the victims were killed. All of them were shot in the back.
One victim was shot near Dob Cunningham's ranch, by a man Dob had trusted enough to allow him to live on his land: an agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency who, the rancher later discovered, meted out his own strange justice after hours. The shooting left a Mexican teenager paralyzed for life and forever altered the way Dob looked at his desolate sweep of brushland. For the rancher, all the rules seemed to have changed, rules that said there was dignity in hard work, that a man could make an honest living raising cattle, that his grandchildren would someday work the land too. He used to regularly visit friends in Mexico. But ever since he looked across the Rio Grande through his binoculars and saw a man studying him back through the scope of a rifle, he had been wary. Even the most basic of rules—that this side of the river was his, and that that side of the river was theirs—had eroded. "No one seems to understand," Dob said. "There isn't a border anymore."
The Cunningham ranch lies along a rutted clay road that threads through irrigated fields of sorghum and oats, past the black iron silhouette of a cowboy at Dob's ranch house, and then ascends into the rough hills lining the Rio Grande. Dob's land overlooks the Quemado Valley, a verdant spread of pastures and pecan groves that runs alongside the river for twelve miles up to the Las Moras Ranch—a once-infamous drug-smuggling site that federal authorities seized from Mexican traffickers three and a half years ago. Spanish explorers named the valley "Quemado," or "Burned," long before an irrigation canal was dug through it, having appraised this once-barren land as a place so devoid of vegetation that it appeared to have been ravaged by fire. The austere terrain surrounding the valley, where Dob's land climbs to a precipitous and rocky ridgeline, and farther upriver toward Del

Youth Development at the ANN ARBOR YMCA
Here at the Ann Arbor Y it is our goal to go about the work of Youth Development intentionally and in every aspect of our organization. It is the job of every staff member and volunteer to help young people grow. In order to do that, we have adopted the 40 developmental assets as our frame work. The Developmental Assets, developed by the Search Institute, are 40 common sense, positive experiences and qualities that help influence choices young people make and help them become caring, responsible, successful adults. Please click on the highlighted link to learn how the assets are used to help our staff and programs make the biggest possible impact on the youth we serve.

Did You Know That...
- Starting in 2009, the YMCA expanded our reach into our neighboring community of Ypsilanti, where we help kids get active, build teamwork skills and instill self-confidence through our after school sports programs. Through the YMCA's summer day camps at Recreation and Prospect Parks, children make new friends and learn the Y core values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility.
- Through our Youth Volunteer Corps, which started in 1994, hundreds of teens collaborate with Washtenaw County agencies to serve people all over our community.
- Through a unique collaboration with Food Gatherers, over twenty Ann Arbor teens in our Chain of Plenty program gain valuable life and job skills while preparing over 15,000 meals each year for homeless patrons of the Delonis Center.
- Each summer hundreds of elementary school children participate in SPLASH, our free learn-to-swim program made possible through a grant from the Kiwanis Club of Ann Arbor.
- Each year over 100 volunteers raise funds through our Strong Kids Campaign. Strong Kids donations provide scholarships and funding that make it possible for children and teens to take part in life-enriching programs that their families could not otherwise afford.
A Brief History of the Ann Arbor YMCA
- The first Ann Arbor YMCA was established in 1858 by students at the University of Michigan. It was the second YMCA in the state of Michigan, after the Detroit YMCA.
- The new Ann Arbor YMCA building at 110 North Fourth Avenue was completed in 1904.
- Thomas Birkett's property on Silver Lake in Dexter was initially deeded to the YMCA in 1914 as an all boys' residence camp. Today it is the site of Camp Birkett, our summer day camp for girls and boys.
- In 1956, the YMCA and YWCA merged to become what is now known as the Ann Arbor YMCA. The men and women of the Ann Arbor YMCA raised funds to build a new facility at 350 South Fifth Avenue.
- In 1968 Camp Al-Gon-Quian, on the shores of Burt Lake, was purchased from Herbert Twining. This camp provides life-changing experiences for over 1,000 boys and girls each summer.
- The YMCA's full-day childcare program for 2 ½ year olds to kindergartners was opened in early 1987.
- In 1991, the City of Ann Arbor-YMCA residence facility was expanded to provide occupancy from 37 to 100 single rooms for men and women.
- In 1997, the Board of Directors recognized the need for the Ann Arbor YMCA to expand and better meet the needs of people in our community. In 2000, the YMCA began the process of acquiring a site upon which to build a new facility, and in 2002, the YMCA purchased our new building site at 400 West Washington in downtown Ann Arbor.
- On April 1, 2005, the new Ann Arbor YMCA facility at 400 West Washington Street officially opened.
- As of 2011: each year the Ann Arbor YMCA serves 25,000 people, half of whom are under age 18.

University High School's Fourth Class to Graduate on June 14
Posted 06/08/2011
Posted by
Meagan Fazio
Seventy seniors will graduate from the
University High School of Science and Engineering
(UHSSE) on June 14, and all of them plan to continue their educations or join the military. The graduation ceremony takes place on
Tuesday, June 14,
5 p.m.
Lincoln Theater on the University of Hartford campus,
200 Bloomfield Ave. in West Hartford, Conn.
Sixty-eight members of the class of 2011, known as the Delta Class because it is the school's fourth graduating class, plan to continue their education. Two will join the military. Colleges and universities the graduates plan to attend include Rochester Institute of Technology, Virginia Tech, Johnson & Wales University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, University of Hartford, Virginia Wesleyan College, and Weber State University.
The University High School was founded on the "Early College" model, in which qualified students can take college courses and earn credits for college while still attending high school. Nineteen members of this year's graduating class earned college credits by taking University of Hartford classes.
This year's senior class also includes two students, Jacob Doerfler and Chaitali Korgaonkar, whose research and writing has been accepted for publication in the online encyclopedia and database,
African-American National Biography
edited by Dr. Henry Louis Gates of Harvard University and published by Oxford University Press. The students, who were part of teacher Theresa Vara-Dannen's American Studies class, researched the lives of relatively little known African-Americans from Connecticut who have impacted African-American history in this country. The book will bring their accomplishments to light. Doerfler and Korgaonkar's research joins that of nine other UHSSE students whose research was accepted in the past two years.
The University High School of Science and Engineering opened on the University of Hartford campus in 2004, thus making the University the only private university in the nation to have two public magnet schools on its campus. (University Magnet School, a pre-K through grade 5 school, opened in 2001.) UHSSE has received significant recognition in its seven-year history. In May, math teacher Marilyn M. Jack-Ortique was named Hartford's 2011 Teacher of the Year. In 2009, it was named the top performing school in the Hartford public schools district and one of the top 100 high schools in America by
News & World Report
. In 2008, UHSSE won a Magnet School of America award.

Coolest Backpack Ever.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
First off the color of the backpack was amazing. The detachable hood is a very cool feature. The bags straps spread out the weight evenly and if you do fall it isn't uncomfortable on your back. This bag has very many cool features that I really enjoy using. The check off list makes me laugh and is a life saver. Very well though out product. Would buy as a gift in a heart beat.
Great Backpack!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Got this backpack for my boyfriend in 'Manimal', he currently has a pretty cruddy one from a few years ago so thought this would be a good upgrade. The backpack was larger than what I expected, but not by much! Didn't really look at the measurements when I got it, but it has some awesome features like the magnetic and detachable top compartment, and the hood is a cool perk! Seems very durable, and he loves the colors; although the yellow straps shown in the picture are actually just black-- which I personally like better!

Microwave your sponge to kill germs!
To kill germs and prolong the life of your sponge, put the wet sponge in the microwave for 30 seconds. I do this every time I use the sponge at work, and the sponge stays fresh smelling for ages!

Monitor your Resting Heart Rate
Having a hard time exercising in your target heart rate zone? Maybe you need to check your resting heart rate! If you are getting regular cardio, your resting heart rate will decrease. Since your target heart rate is based on your resting heart rate, it's important to periodically check your resting heart rate and adjust your target heart rate as your resting heart rate decreases.

Shrunk out of your wardrobe? Organize a clothing swap!
Are you shrinking out of your wardrobe, but don't want to buy new clothes because you're still losing? Organize a clothing swap with your friends. Plan a party where everyone brings clothes they no longer want. Set all the clothes out, and everyone gets to "shop" amongst the clothes. If two people want the same item, play rock/paper/scissors to determine who gets it. It's a great "girl's night" event, and a great way to refresh or "downsize" your wardrobe for free!!

Hand Sanitizer = Insta-Shower!
Have you been thinking about exercising during your lunch break or incorporating exercise into your work commute, but have been worried about not being able to shower afterwards? Hand sanitizer works great to take away the stinkies. It kills bacteria, and body odor is caused by bacteria. Just rub a bit of hand sanitizer into those stinky zones (like your armpits, NOT sensitive areas :P ) and it's like an instant shower! So no more excuses! Get out there and exercise!!

To help with portion size, change your plate!
I rarely use a regular size dinner plate any more. My portion sizes have shrunk, and, so I don't feel deprived, so has my plate size. Now I usually eat off the "bread plate" (the size between a saucer and a dinner plate). That way, my smaller portion doesn't look so small dwarfed on a big plate. My salad bowl, though, has grown. It is now the medium-size Pyrex mixing bowl!

Do you ever want to keep eating after you have finished a meal? I sure do! To combat that, I drink a full 8 oz glass of water after meals. It makes me feel more full, washes away the lingering (tempting) flavors in my mouth, and helps me meet my water quota for the day.

Protein & Fat Keep you Satisfied
Try to include a bit of protein with every meal, and don't forget the healthy fat! They keep you full for longer! My favorite? A slice of bread with peanut butter keeps me satisfied for ages!

where is the women's model?--it is shorter and in softer colors.
Wednesday, October 09, 2013 02:18 PM
Answer by a Discount Golf World ExpertThe women's model is available by choosing the lavender or pink color option. The bag is a half inch shorter to accommodate for shorter clubs. Thank you for your inquiry.

Add says the XL is new and improved. What were the improvements?
Monday, May 27, 2013 11:30 AM
Answer by a Discount Golf World ExpertThe rotating top has been improved to operate more smoothly and easily, and the compartments have been enlarged to accommodate oversized grips. The reduction of the top divider from 14 to 7-way is an improvement, as well, as it makes it easier to access clubs. Thank you for your inquiry to DGW.

When you state that the bag can be embrotered (stiched) how can that be done..is a flap removable..?
Tuesday, February 14, 2012 09:39 PM
Answer by a Discount Golf World ExpertMost of the time the embroidery is done by the manufacturer when the bag is ordered. You can have the embroidery done on your own but, the flap is not removable. Thank you for your question. If you do wish to have it embroidered by the company, contact us at 1-866-411-4349 and we can place the special order for you. Have a great day!

-Invite them in your team

p.s. weekly 8x8 cup is a bad idea

If you are going to do a proper 8v8 conquest tournament, please... remove vehicles like in 4v4 squad rush. having 2 jets, 2 heli, 3 tanks and 2 cars on 8 players is just silly!
If you are going to do more tournaments on weekdays (mon-fri) please make them start after 8pm or maybe even later as most of work full time jobs.

The finishing.com Hotline -- Serious Education ... plus the most fun you can have in metal finishing
A. I hope to be corrected, Domenick, because I don't think it's possible to reliably remove silicone contamination from aluminum parts. In fact, I'm not so sure you can reliably do it even on steel parts where much more aggressive cleaning is possible. The rule is that parts simply must not ever get contaminated with silicone. Good luck.
Ted Mooney, P.E. RET
Pine Beach, New Jersey
A. The best way to eliminate silicone contamination is to bar the use of silicone oils in any processes prior to the painting operation. Once silicone gets on the surface of the parts, it is nearly impossible to completely remove it.
The following are some potential sources of silicone: mold release agents, defoamers used in rolling or forming oils, coolants, cleaners, water displacing lubricants like WD-40 [linked by editor to product info at Amazon], hard surface cleaners that claim to leave surfaces "shiny", sealants and caulking materials, personal care products like skin creams, hair conditions, and lotions and many other common products.
When attempting to clean silicone oil off the surface of parts, it is very common for it to redeposit back onto the parts that were originally affected or onto other parts that entered the process free from silicone.
Silicone will cause paint defects at the parts per million level making it nearly impossible to detect at low levels.
Trevose, Pennsylvania, USA
A. No recommendation but found this:
GenSolveTM High-Performance Stripping Agents remove tenacious polymers from metal [...] substrates. They are effective at ambient temperatures with [...] coatings made of silicone [...]
Good luck,
- Concord, California
A. I'm trying to clean some silicone myself and found out that sodium hydroxide or another strong base can de-polymerize the silicone back to cyclics and would probably work okay on aluminum (not sure about plastics yet). Also I hear Hexane will do the trick (probably better for metals) if you rinse it a few times.Rob Ward
- Oakland, California, USA
September 20, 2012
Q. Hello Sirs,
We have a problem to clean some aluminum parts. We tried degreasers, alkaline cleaners, acetone, and didn't work. We notice the contamination in the FPI inspection due to the penetrant break in the surface. Do you think silicone could be the cause?
We use coolants to machine the parts, we have been cleaning the parts for the parts 2 years with the same process and suddenly the problem started last week. We changed all the cleaning line chemicals and also cleaned the tanks.
Is there a way to test if silicone its present on the parts or in the coolant of the machines?
- Chihuahua, Mexico
September 28, 2012
A. Hi Yohands,
Silicones can certainly be detected. If the concentration is high enough then something like FT-IR will be a good tool, especially for any of the cutting fluids or coolants, otherwise it may need to be more specialised such as SEM with SIMS attachment.
What makes you suspect silicones, other than water break failure?
Cleaning of silicones is particularly difficult, but degreasing with standard halogenated degreasers followed by a good alkaline clean is usually sufficient. If you are finding that the film is still tenacious then it will come down to manual cleaning, this may involve some form of abrasive cleaning. If this is the case and the process is carried out prior to penetrant inspection you will need to carry out a pre-penetrant etch to remove smeared material.
aerospace - Yeovil, Somerset, United Kingdom
October 1, 2012
Q. Hi Terry,
In reality we don't know what its causing the water break, but we tried a lot of things to clean the parts and we only succeeded with Zep Dyna 680-T2 degreaser solvent then acetone and finally the clean line process.
Until now the problem is controlled with this cleaning but we want to find the root cause, so we can eliminate it and go back to our normal cleaning process.
The SEM analysis could be performed in liquids or do you mean on the surface of the part?
What else do you think could be the cause of the contamination or the condition in the surface of the parts, this only happens in the machined areas.
- Chihuahua, Mexico
October 4, 2012
A. Silicones are so difficult to remove that it is absolutely imperative that they are never allowed near any plating, painting or soldering process.
I would suggest that you should have a company policy banning them and make sure that your buying department understand the importance of this. Next you need to do a thorough inventory of the maintenance department and remove all those spray on wonder 'fix everything' lubricants they love. Hand creams are another common source. The ladies love them, particularly the ones they get as christmas presents! Health and safety departments are very good at handing out free samples of "skin care products" - they must get the message too.
There are no reliable cleaners, whatever the salesman tells you.
Just make sure that everyone understands the threat to the business (and their jobs!)
PS Oddly enough, I don't think that WD40 has silicones but you should check

A. Hi Yohands,
Geoff's advice is sound, but knowing the sort of business Aerospace is it isn't always possible to avoid silicones or silicone based lubricants.
SEM analysis would be done on the surface of the contaminated part, not any of the solutions. It should be reasonably easy to pick up the Silicon peak with this analysis technique if it is present.
I get the feeling you are going to end up having to clean these parts very manually, that is swab degreasing with solvent and possibly scrub cleaning with a non-silicated cleaner.
As for trying to find the root cause of your problem you are going to have to look at the types of parts that are being processed, are they sheet, wrought or cast? What machining operations do they go through? What coolants/lubricants are used in the manufacturing process? Are these materials potential sources of contamination? Is someone using one of the "magic spray" cans people seem to have hidden away all over the place that are perceived to help with manufacturing?
At the end of the day you can't beat "walking the process", that way you can follow the parts from receipt to packing, will be able to see what operations are involved and what chemicals are utilised.

Q. We're preparing to repaint an aircraft. Swab tests show there is silicone on the surface of the old paint. Will chemical stripping of the old paint contain the silicone within the waste stream and keep it from contaminating the hangar?Jeff Wilterdink

A. Silicon "on the surface" of the existing paint could be just a polish which was applied. I'd try scrubbing with something like Ajax and retesting a sample area to see if that will remove the silicon. Steam cleaning with a detergent might work too.

Q. Hello Jeffrey Holmes. It's good to hear from someone. You're correct in that the aircraft has been waxed to maintain appearance. I might need to clarify that we're not planning to strip the aircraft for the sake of removing the silicone. Rather, our paint vendor has said they are unwilling to receive our aircraft into their facility as long as there's silicone on it because they don't want to "contaminate" their facility with it. Consequently, we're currently making extraordinary plans to hand wipe the aircraft with a cleaner prior to sending it to the painter. Since they're going to strip it there (not just sand it) prior to painting, I'm currently in disbelief that the chemical strippers wouldn't adequately handle the silicone and keep it from contaminating their hangar. I want to see if others think that's necessary before we pay an exorbitant bill in additional labor hours for the surface cleaning. Additionally, does anyone feel that the water-break-free test for a clean surface is not adequate when checking for silicone?Jeff Wilterdink

A. I think worrying about the silicon residue from a waxing is unwarranted, however it's their hanger, so their rules.
Steam cleaning with detergent shouldn't be very labor intensive.

Q. Hello Jeff Wilterdink
what kind of swab test did you use?
I've been swabbing and doing FTIR, but wondered if you had a wet chemistry test you were using to test for surface silicones - I'd like to skip the lab time in my testing.
- Centennial, Colorado, United States of America
June 14, 2013
A. Hi Steve
The reason we don't want silicone is that it will not wet. Therefore the easiest test must be a simple water break check.
No swabbing a small area and hoping the rest is OK. Just throw a bucket of water over the aircraft or park it in the rain. You will soon see any residual silicone - and where it is so that you don't have to redo the whole thing if you find any.

A. I have been using two products by RPM Technology to completely remove silicone and silicone residue from metals and fiberglass. I use the Digisil to remove the larger bits left behind from mechanical removal. i put it on thick, cover it in plastic, and let it work over night. after a good cleaning and wash, i spray and scrub with the Di-Aqua, this removes the layer of slimy residue left behind. I am not affiliated with this company and I do not receive any compensation of any kind, it's just a great product that works for me, and I thought I'd pass on my $.02.

Spa nowadays, marries modern technology with traditional massages for pampering of the senses. Steamers and Jacuzzis replace wooden bath tubs whilst treatments use natural oils and herbs remaining true to nature. At Jamu Spa, one is assured of pampering treats available only in the most traditional methods.
Concealed behind yellow bamboo fences is the small but yet, blissful sanctuary for many Jamu Spa. The whole ambience is undoubtedly Javanese, from the soothing background music to paintings and clay decorations, and you can even find rattan and wooden chairs in place of modern salon chairs for treatments.
Jamu Spa has one private massage room and one large regular massage room where five beds are separated by curtains draping from the rails. The dominating colours apparent in the spa are hues of green and yellow to provide a cheery and yet, calming effect. Rooms are dimly-lit, providing a serene feel of tranquility for the patrons. A window view to the well-tended Javanese garden for the shoulder massage room is both therapeutic and relaxing.
Ingredients used for treatments are au naturale . The massage oils, lotions and even shampoos are specially made in Bali for the Jamu Spa and the other ingredients are strictly traditional. Materials such as Mangir, Kemiri are made fresh everyday and can be found in the markets. Do not expect to find a Jacuzzi here, because the bathing or rinsing process is done either with a shower or a ladle.
Massage techniques used properly follows the Javanese and Balinese traditions, using long strokes with occasional mild pinching movements. Traditional Javanese treatments such as lulur and body binding are available, along with slightly more modern takes, such as the Yoghurt Body Scrub and Vanilla Mocha Body Scrub. In the latter, the brisk body scrub is followed by applying a jelly-like material to absorb impurities. The Balinese Boreh Body Mask and Indian Sugar waxing add to the treatment's variety.
The Jamu spa is filled with a mild, soothing scent which is essentially Javanese. That alone with the aromatherapy oil is a treat, but you will also get bonus in the form of Indonesian Jamu , which is the Indonesian traditional herbal drink, known since ancient times to bring out the wellness in everyone. Thus, the Jamu Spa offers a one-stop for total well-being, inside and out.

Gear Review
Blder Seven
Size down for a better fit
Picked up this jersey to match my Capo bib shorts and am very happy with my purchase. This is definitely as summer weight, warm weather jersey as it's quite thin. I normally wear XXL in Capo cycling clothing, but the XXL did not fit very tightly and I found the XL to provide the tight fit I was looking for. I can see if I wore the XXL how the pockets may fall down on my backside if I were carrying a lot of items, but since I sized down to an XL for a "race" type fit, I don't see any issues with packing the pockets full of any gear I may need to carry. I purchased the jersey in red and definitely like the shade of red, as well as the complimenting colors of the stripes. The material is extremely tight and silk-like. I like the cut of the sleeves as well as the lack of elastic on the cuff of the sleeves. Can't really find any faults with this jersey!

Can I Quote This Celebrity?
I want to publish a funny celebrity quote on my book cover. Can I legally do this?
The answer lies in the context the quote is used. If you're trying to make a quotation look like an endorsement, you can't use it unless the celebrity has truly read your book, and has agreed to endorse it.
However, if you're using a casual, funny quote to make readers laugh, or to educate them about the general topic of your book, that's fine.
Here are some examples -
You can't use these quotes on your cover because, obviously, these people are not talking about YOUR book:
"It's a very good historical book about history."
"With this book, I truly hope to reach everyone that I don't bump into on the street and share my story."
If you wrote a book on, say, writing or publishing, you could include the quotes below because they are obviously NOT about YOUR book:
"The paperback is very interesting but I find it will never replace the hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop."
"A quotation in a speech, article or book is like a rifle in the hands of an infantryman. It speaks with authority."
Likewise, if your book is about, say, cats, you can include funny quotes like this:
"The problem with cats is that they get the exact same look on their face whether they see a moth or an axe-murderer."
"Cats always seem so very wise, when staring with their half-closed eyes. Can they be thinking, 'I'll be nice, and maybe she will feed me twice?'"
Or, if your book is about, say, quitting smoking, you could include this quote in/on it:
"Everybody smokes! Models, actresses, everyone! Don't they realize that it's gross? I understand it's an addiction, but it still pains me to see my friends do it."
Celebrities are extensively quoted. There are even books of famous quotations and websites featuring celebrity quotes. As long as you're not misusing the quote, or stealing somebody else's original material and using it as your own (you must give credit to the celebrity), you can quote them. If there is any doubt whatsoever, contact representatives of the celebrity.
By the way, my reference for the quotes above is this great website: http://www.saidwhat.co.uk

Who doesn't like watching a frozen chicken go splat on a perfectly good aircraft canopy?
I do believe the television program Mythbusters ultimately showed that frozen chickens have more penetration than thawed chickens.
For realistic birdstrike tests, the chickens should be thawed.

Are you suggesting fowl-play?
RE: Testing for Multiple bird strikes. The purpose of the test is to gather data you don't already have in hand. Since there is a mountain of bird strike test history and data available, what matters is making sure you test what you don't know much about. See http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_download-id-13106.html for an F-35 powerpoint in PDF describing what the F-35 program was all about.
Something to think about also in looking at multiple bird strikes: Where do you stop? How do you decide what hits where and in what order? Computer sims based on actual single shot data will give you more info on 'what ifs' and at a much lower cost.

TL, I would not like to test that soup .
There is nothing to turn in to a soup, except for some feathers and the feets. the rest is just birdraulics.
I guess that there is even a slight smell in the room where they do the test, unless they have a very talented cleaning crew… When we did the tests at our company there were birdraulics all over the place.
Tom Harvey photographer 30 July, 2010 at 1:11 pm #
We do not use a FROZEN chicken, The chicken is fresh, meaning alive until prior to the test procedure at that time the chicken is gassed weighed,bagged ect. for the test. We have a outdoor facility to do these test. I hired into the Flight test photo lab in 1967 we have tested on F111,F16,F35 here at Fort Worth.

That is depressing news indeed. I don't suppose that round the back there is a little cemetery where the few remaining parts, packed into a small biscuit tin, are buried in neat rows with little crosses above them? That would be the british way, but I've heard that crosses are not considered multicultural these days. Sniff!
I did work 'experience' for a week, many years ago at Bae's filton plant when they were still servicing the F-1-11′s and hung out with the pyrotechnics guy which was great as we went all over the plant. High up on the gantry looking down at the F1-111′s with their skins off (you could see the swing wing's box), the low speed wind tunnel (my first explanation of involuntarily flying chickens), the airbus wing design centre (it had an A340 wooden wing mock up), the wing assembly floor with the cool robo-parts lift, had a look around the hanger (the Queen's 146 was there), sniffed around the temperature chamber where (if I recall correctly) they fill the tanks with liquid nitrogen to simulate high altitude cold to -60 for an hour and around -40 for four hours or so, spent a day in the control tower.
The best bit was to see a north facing arrow painted on some tarmac which apparently was used to check the general accuracy of the compass…
Didn't end up in aerospace though! Still an airhead…

You don't know jazz unless you play it. Period. It's not in books. It's not in magazine articles.
Anyway, why would anybody want to play jazz anymore? There's no money in it, no fame. You want to kill your career? Call yourself a jazz drummer.
I don't participate in any of the metal threads because I don't know anything about that, but as soon as a jazz thread comes up everybody walks in acting as though they're seasoned pros, talking about "Elvin" and "Tony." Oh yeah, Buddy Rich gets mentioned a lot too.
Between jazz and religion I'd rather talk about religion. At least the Christians know what they're talking about where their religion is concerned!
trying to talk jazz on this forum is a lot like trying to talk politics or religion.

Pomona College Named One of the Nation's Best Values in Liberal Arts Education
Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine has named Pomona College fifth on its list of the 50 Best Values in Liberal Arts Colleges. The list, which ranks private colleges and universities that exemplify outstanding economic values and an exceptional education, appears in the April 2007 issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance (on newsstands March 12) and at www.kiplinger.com/tools/privatecolleges.
"I'm very pleased that both Pomona's quality and its generous financial aid policies are being recognized," said Pomona College President David W. Oxtoby. "Pomona College provides one of the very best college educations in the country and is one of only a handful of colleges with need-blind admissions that meets the full financial need of every accepted student. This ranking and the information on financial aid serve an important role in helping to publicize that moderate and low-income families can afford to attend a high quality, private college. This information is too often missing from news stories about college tuition and admissions."
Pomona College was selected from a pool of more than 1,000 private institutions provided by Peterson's. Kiplinger's Personal Finance ranked the top 50 universities and top 50 liberal arts colleges in separate tables. To rate each school, Kiplinger's took into account admission rate, SAT or ACT scores, student-faculty ratio, four-year/five-year graduation rate, total costs, cost after need-based aid, aid from grants, cost after non-need-based aid, and average debt at graduation.
Pomona College is the founding member of The Claremont Colleges, a consortium of five independent undergraduate and two graduate institutions. Two of Pomona's sister schools were also named among the top 100: Claremont McKenna College ranked 9th and Scripps College was 37th. Only five California colleges made the top 50. The other two were Occidental (#35) and Thomas Aquinas (#32).
Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine has been providing millions of Americans with down-to-earth advice on managing their money and achieving financial security since 1947. Along with Kiplinger.com, it is a highly trustworthy source of information on saving and investing, taxes, credit, homeownership, paying for college, retirement planning, car buying and many other personal finance topics.

text: In response to the overwhelming success of the 2010 Founders Banquet, the staff and faculty of Clearwater Christian College echo the sentiments of the Psalmist, I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me (Psalm 13:6). The bountiful blessings of the Lord were seen by all in attendance at the 20s Reunion and Founders Banquet on March 6. Dr. Arthur Steele, founder, Dr. George Youstra, president emeritus, and Dr. Richard Stratton, president, were joined by alumni, staff, faculty, friends, family, and current CCC students in giving praise to God for His miraculous goodness. The banquet weekend began on Friday evening with an inspirational reunion of alumni and family. The first ever 20s Reunion was attended by CCC graduates from the first 20 years of Clearwater Christian College (1966-1986). After a delicious meal, alumni shared a time of catch-up by hearing testimonies of what God has been doing over the last twenty years. Dr. Steeles 90th birthday was also recognized during the testimony time. During his testimony, Dr. Steele said, I cant tell you what this ministry has meant to me. Often [over the years] I was asked two questions: one is, If you had to do it over again, would you? Of course my answer is yes. It is all because of the will of God. The second question is, Now that you have so much time on your hands, what is your goal? My goal is to study the Word of God as King David did in the book of Psalms. I forget so much, but your testimonies tonight [will be kept close to my heart] and they will be a constant blessing to me. Stay in the Word of God. The Founders Banquet began at noon on Saturday, March 6. The program was well-received and guests were blessed to hear the stories of alumni from all over the world. Priscilla Cartwright(72), Joe Olachea (78), and David Altman(86) told of how God had blessed their lives since the time of their graduation. The CCC Cantorum Choir provided special music for the banquet and kept the room in smiles as they sang of the grace of our Lord. Sophomore Ahna Boley, a member of the Cantorum said, "Singing at the Founders Banquet is great way to not only show our appreciation as students to those who donate to and founded CCC, but also it enables them to see what programs their donations go towards." Vice President for Institutional Advancement, Terry Wild gave a short presentation of the Founders Day Projectthe renovation of a mens residence hall (Merritts Hall). He said, What an encouragement to hear alumni share their testimonies of how God used CCC in their lives. Im so thankful to those who faithfully support us in our efforts to help young people grow in their faith. I look forward to 20 years down the roadLord willing, we will hear testimonies of how our current students were impacted by this administration, faculty, staff, and the many donors who sacrificially give to CCC. Make sure to plan to attend the 2011 Founders Banquet. Watch the Campus Events Calendar for forthcoming dates, times, and locations. We look forward to seeing you there! Print Article
