Dec. 10, 2012
MADISON, Wis. – Nicole Bauman has been named the Big Ten Conference co-freshman of the week for women's basketball, the conference office announced Monday. Bauman, who shares the honor with Taylor Manuel of Purdue, picks up her first Big Ten weekly award.
The 5-foot-10 guard from New Berlin, Wis., scored a career-high 16 points against in-state rival Marquette on Dec. 5, shooting 5-of-8 from the field, including 4-of-5 from 3-point range. Bauman made two free throws with 14 seconds left in the game to seal a 71-68 win over the Golden Eagles. She also added a career-best five steals and three rebounds in the win.
Bauman has started the last three games due to an injury to Taylor Wurtz and has made the most of her experience. In her three starts, she is averaging 11.3 points per game with a .571 shooting percentage (12-of-21). She is also shooting .571 (8-of-14) from 3-point range.
On the season, Bauman ranks sixth on the team with 6.1 points per game while shooting 43.6 percent. She is the team's top 3-point shooter, making 12-of-28 attempts for 42.9 percent.
Bauman is first Wisconsin player to be named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week since Wurtz won the honor on Jan. 18, 2010.
Wisconsin (5-3) continues its four-game home stand tonight, hosting Florida Atlantic (5-3) at 7 p.m. in the Kohl Center. The Badgers make their first television appearance of the season as the game airs live on the Big Ten Network.

The government, airline and tourism stakeholders committed themselves to cooperate in the goal of boosting tourist numbers to Cape Town at the first day of the two-day ACSA Airline Destination Workshop at the Cape Town International Convention Centre today.
Never has there been a better opportunity for Cape Town to exploit the favourable international sentiment towards South Africa in general and Cape Town in particular, as a safe and stable destination in the aftermath to September 11 and conflict in the Middle East.
Welcoming the delegates, Workshop facilitator and ACSA Business and Market Development Group Executive, Siva Pillay said Cape Town is the premier South African tourism destination without much contention from any other city. "Is it time to sit back and gather the harvest or is it time to harness the growth through a joint capacity management programme?" he asked.
Officially declaring the workshop opened, Premier of the Western Cape Province Mr Marthinus van Schalkwyk called for more direct flights to Cape Town. "We know that for our airline partners, the key to offering more direct flights more often is filling the first class and business class seats."
"Business travellers provide the bulk of that market and in the Cape, business is booming. With real GDP growth of 2,8 percent last year, a 48 percent year-on-year increase in Western Cape exports, and foreign direct investment of R1,3 billion in 2002 the message has been clearly sent – that the Cape means business."
Airline representatives were in agreement that Cape Town was poised for growth and with the correct legislative environment they could increase tourist arrivals in Cape Town by up to 50 percent.
"Through various speakers we learnt that the hotels, car rental companies, the airport, ground transfers and the Convention Centre are all ready to handle the expected number of visitors during the peak season," said Siva Pillay,
The purpose of the workshop is for all those involved in the tourism chain to discuss sustainable ways of offering an integrated service, while addressing the issues of seasonality and infrastructure capacity.
Representatives from airlines flying directly to Cape Town and those wishing to fly directly described massive pent up demand by overseas tourists that could not be satisfied by current airline capacity.
Mr Don Hunter, chairman of the Board of Airline Representatives of South Africa (BARSA) said: "One specific opportunity for Cape Town was identified as the burgeoning Chinese market. Earlier this year South Africa was granted 'approved destination' status by the Chinese government, opening the door to many of the more than 6,3 million Chinese travellers each year.
"The Chinese have become affluent people, with more disposable income and more leave entitlement than before, and statistics show they are the highest spenders per day. One of the main problems is that South Africa lacks the requisite language skills and authentic Chinese restaurants to win a significant chunk of this market."

The study, funded by the UK Government's Department of Trade and Industry, is led by Dr Colin McGuckin and Dr Nico Forraz from Kingston University's School of Life Sciences. It represents a significant step forward in the fast-developing field of stem cell research. Until now, experts have struggled to find a supply of cells in sufficient numbers that does not offend previous critics of stem cell research. The latest advance looks set to overcome such difficulties.
The trans-Atlantic team has been working with Drs Randall Urban, Larry Denner and Ronald Tilton from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. They have been using bioreactors at the Synthecon Corporation base in Houston enabling them to produce stem cells sharing many of the same characteristics as cells found in embryos. Research has so far relied on so-called adult cells found in blood and bone marrow from birth onwards or cells grown from embryos. The new type detected by the team harnesses the benefits of both. "We have found a unique group of cells that bring together the essential qualities of both types of stem cells for the first time," Dr McGuckin said.
The researchers findings may bring renewed hope to people awaiting treatment for a range of serious illnesses such as Diabetes, Alzheimer's Disease and multiple sclerosis. "Acquiring stem cells from embryos also has major limitations because it is difficult to obtain enough cells to transplant as well as getting the right tissue

My Kids' Favorite Cookies Recipe
4.5 12
When I made these cookies for my boys while they were growing up, it was a real challenge to keep them away from the kitchen to let these cookies cool. I still make these mouthwatering morsels for my "boys" today. —Ardys Smith, Palo Alto, California
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 5 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 ounces each)
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Beat in oats and coconut.
- Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Break each candy bar into 12 pieces; press a chocolate piece into the center of each warm cookie. Remove to wire racks. Yield: 5 dozen.
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Hershey's premier baking pieces.

"Just made these and they're delicious. I made them exactly as directed and flattened slightly as stated using a fork dipped in flour. I'm guessing the cookies in the photo are made extra large because you only get 12 chocolate rectangles in each candy bar; 5 x 12=60 pieces. There's not enough chocolate to put two on each cookie and not enough room on each cookie to put more than one piece. I'll be making these again at Christmas!"

Start the discussion
The payment goes to produce BBC TV and radio programmes. I think that it is a small price to pay for an alternative to commercial stations.
Are you 13?
The BBC should stick to public service broadcasting such as news and current affairs, leaving other programming to commercial stations. The licence fee is an anachronism is this day and age and should be abolished forthwith. What on earth is the BBC doing paying massive fees to so called celebrities at taxpayers' expense?
But I don't blame people for coughing up year after year really. It's worth the money just not to have all the hassle for most people, I can see that. But it's still wrong, and a sneaky, bullying way to squeeze a little bit more money out of people who have already paid out for VAT, Sky subscriptions, TV Setups, etc
I disagree i pay £288 a year for sky that gives me every single channel all the sport channels,24 hour news,discovery,movies,radio stations,ect if i pay for sky why should i pay for a tv licence? Should'nt it be our choice who we choose to have,oh and every single disney channel for my kids bbc pay them for what?
It is all a question if people want the BBC and the other regulated channels or are happy paying up for subscription TV - individual choice and I don't watch Sky or others which I consider rubbish. Give me BBC channels, even ITV and Channel 4 with some adverts - the rest is rubbish - much like mobile phones and the social media - I am snob I know but why follow something that contribute very little to human knowledge/understanding.
blackguyfawke - no point boasting about your anti-social behaviour - you have to pay the dues if living in civil society - TV licence is for using your TV regardless of which channels you watch - and one of these days hope you get a big fine. BBC, ITV and Channel 4/5 all quality - unlike the rubbish on the subscription channels, hope they manage to fleece you. It costs money to make programmes and if the majority did not approve that, Parliament will abolish TV licence. That day is still far away.
No way should we pay the bbc if we choose to have virgin or sky thats our choice the bbc should follow suit put a reciver witch u can turn on and off like the rest of the companys supplie,should'nt we have the choice,@bonkim 2003 i think u will find that sky has bought all the best programs out there u clearly have never watched the discovery channels thats documentries on everthing,they even got all of the gold classics and 007 season thats british u no,thank god the rest of the other countries dont tax us for having a tv,oh i so enjoy watching the classics on fools and horses do u ?
here is what should happen, all the **** on bbc, soaps, cookery programs, diy, dancing, even sport, all that sort of stuff should have ads, all documentaries, factual programs, news, etc, no ads. and all people paid in anyway by the bbc should pay uk tax, at paye rates. that would sort out all the problems
Life was a lot simpler, and better quality programmes when we did not have Satellite TV. Discovery channel/National geographic just produces high quality/selected moving pictures - don't believe all you see - the real world is quite different from that projected on the Satellite channels - more entertainment than any real educational value.
@Burningwords "I disagree i pay £288 a year for sky that gives me every single channel" It also gives you BBC programming. How you access it is a technology choice. The BBC not only provides some excellent programming but stimulates other providers to compete. That makes it a 'win win' situation for you. Don't be a 'stinge' put your feet up and enjoy the show.
@eyeopener RUBBISH thats why every house on every street has got a sky dish on there house because the bbc provide such excellent programming its rubbish. Strictly for the laptop user who was useing the internet before the bbc was on it we got to pay a tv licence because they become a part of the internet service you are having a laugh. If the bbc was not in fear of losing they would have a sky card or a virgin card so they could turn there services off if they did not pay,so the people would have the choice to pay for what tv services they would want.
@ Bonkim2003 you are so right at 15 years well at the end of the year it will be 16 even if they caught me i would be at a discount he he ha ha
Something you should all be thinking when paying for the BBC "I am more concerned and angry that my money has been used to support the employment of certian people (Jimmy Saville etc) who we now know to have committed the most terrible crimes against frightened, vunerable children. I doubt we will ever know just how high and wide the knowledge of this (or even suspicions) reached but I no longer trust the BBC. And I strongly object to them receiving any more money from TV Licences. Maybe the BBC should give the money made from licences over the last 30 years to the victims and their families? But the BBC should not benefit any further from the fees paid by the public. They should be ashamed
Using a satellite dish doesn't mean people are watching Sky rubbish, BURNINGWORDS. Our building has a communal dish, and I watch mainly BBC and channel 4.

Mate , go watch US Tv for a while where theres no non-commercial alternative. I promise you will find an hour of adverts for every hour of programming. "News" channels that are nothing more than propoganda for the party that they are affiliated with and filled with adverts and "news stories" that are thinly veiled product placements. Yes it is a pain but perhaps Sky and Virgin should charge less for their services as they make a hefty wad from Ads as it is?
I gave up my tv licence -- sick of watching repeats, I am a 70 years young pensioner and now listen to radio 4, thankfully not licenced and find the discussion and debate much more stimulating than watching close ups of facial expressions etc.
I think that the licence fee is a bargain. It's a blessing to have channels that are (almost) free from adverts. As for the people who don't like repeats - if the programme was a good one, it will bear watching again, or I may have missed it the first time around; if it was rubbish or not to my taste, then I know not to watch it again. A repeat of a good BBC programme is worth ten times as much as a rubbishy new programme. Sky and Virgin give lots of choice, but what's the point if most of it is trash?
I think some of you are missing the point if he is not watching the bbc and using any of the bbc services why should he pay?
've lived at my current address for 15 years, and I've always had a TV, but I've never had a license. It's a total rip off. It's not a subscription, it's a sweeping, across the board backdoor tax. And you've already paid the Tax on your TV. All the license fee does, is subsidises the BBC. And they can totally afford to operate in the same way that other broadcasters do. I get letters telling me there's no license registered at my address, and threatening to send their people around every three months or so, I don't even bother opening them. When their chap comes around, as they do eventually, I'll open the door, and tell him I don't need a license, and when he asks why, I say that I don't own a TV. Yes, it's a bare faced lie, but I don't suffer any twangs of guilt over it. They write down that I haven't got one, all really polite, then say that they just need to come inside to check. And I'm like, What? He'll repeat himself. "I just have to come in and check what you've told me is true, for my records" Again, I refuse. I've just seen him fill in his records I'll say. And they get really persistent. "Why can't I come in"? I say that I've already given him all the information he needs for his records. And that he can't come in, because it's not convenient. Now, I know that I've just lied to him, but he doesn't know that, and he's standing on my doorstep, having already been given all the information he's entitled to, and he's there, calling me a liar to my face. I repeat, firmly, that no, he is not coming in. He threatens to come back with an "Enforcement Team" and I say, "OK , go and do that then. You still won't be coming in". I know they have no right of entry whatsoever, even if they can hear a TV in the background. Now he's just trying to Bully his way in, and I don't respond well to Bullies. If I was a little old Lady, or a single mum, I would be feeling really intimidated by now, and would probably have capitulated and let the little twot in. That is how they get away with charging this ridiculous Tax on people. It's demanding money with menaces. They can only take you to court, if they have been inside and seen you with a TV on. If you just ignore the letters, and don't let them in, there's nothing they can do. Better still, don't answer the door to them. Just because they knock, doesn't obligate you to answer. There's no arrestable offense being committed, so there's no Police action applicable. They can't apply to a Court for a warrant, and they can't make you pay, if you really don't want to pay. That's how I deal with them anyway.
Sorry but 30 years of our kids clapping to jim will fix it (jimmy savile) there is your disgrace like i said before i dont watch the bbc so why should i pay for it?I pay to watch sky,so what part of that do u not understand?If im only watching what i want to watch witch is not the bbc why should i pay?For the comment about jimmy savile he was reported on numerous times but they still chose to employ him not once not twice but one two three four five six seven time,i dont pay for my kids to clap to pedos,for those who disagree here is a blue peter badge
I agree with you. We don't need their BBC any more. A relic of their lost Empire, corrupt and rotten to the core much like their political system. So why pay for it? I read elsewhere that the TV licensing have no right of access to your property, no right to question you so why not refuse to deal with them? What can they do? More and more are refusing to pay. Read all about it: http://tinyurl.com/bfaylsn Watch how to deal here: http://tinyurl.com/b5xh822 Kernow bys vyken!
virgin or sky dosent need the tv licencing to broadcast there programmes i suppose next you are going to tell me we should pay a tv licence to have broadband,like i said again why should i pay if i dont watch the bbc?broadcasting is a false tactic to steel money out of peoples pockets
Wasn`t the license originally introduced to control who or what is broadcast over the airwaves? I always thought it was just to pay for regulatory controls to prevent all and sundry from experimenting and clogging the available bandwidth with twaddle . Since regulations should be passed through parliament , with a non-fiscal cost , then surely the broadcasting license is paid by the broadcaster involved and should not necessarily be passed to EVERY person in the land whether they use that particular broadcaster or not. How come the license fee is only ever advertised on BBC ? Why is it not shown on other channels ? What if someone never watches the BBC - Could they argue that they had no idea that a license is a requirement to OWN a TV never mind watch one ? What if someone just uses a TV to watch DVDs or use it as a monitor for their computer? Is it actually a legal requirement to pay for a company rather than a service? How come that this country , which is an advocate of free speech , could fine or send to jail those who persistently insist on that freedom to choose what they watch and pay for? I do not use SKY myself but those who wish to watch this service pay this broadcaster to provide the service THEY want . Similarly those who use Virgin Media pay for that service through subscription. This means that those viewers are forced to pay TWICE . Isn`t it time that the BBC is brought up to date . Many people argue that the BBC broadcasts quality TV and is worth every penny but if that includes such programs as Eastenders or Strictly Come Dancing then I raise my hands in disbelief. Whenever these , or other programs of the same ilk - that includes Coronation St et al , are on I usually change channels in order to find some real entertainment. It was not intended to pay for overpaid so called celebrities to live the life of luxury in the name of so-called entertainment. Also I do not use BBC radio either - I have no truck with using commercial Radio complete with some of its banal advertising.
For those who say is rubbish lets enlighten you,sky provides me bbc england,bbc scotland and bbc wales,am i paying twice? as i would have it on normal tv and then if i have sky i have it on there as well,for those who dont like adverts there is a thing called pre record,pause fast forward and rewind,also bbc claim they are the only ones who dont have adverts they are lying because they advertise £1000 fines for not having a tv licence,if you watch sky premier movies they dont have adverts,sky brings cinema movies to our homes,so you must think going to the cinema is rubbish as well.Some of you must be right because they provide the bbc to
The BBC don't need licence fees to remain impartial. That just needs integrity. Integrity is free. Aside from The Thick of It, which is brilliant, I don't think I have watched a single BBC programme all year. Quality TV is debatable and all comes down to personal taste. The BBC also caters for the lowest common denominator as much as many other channels. As their output deteriorates, other channels are raising their own standards with home produced programming, and also showing the cream of US television, which for about ten years or so, has been producing fine quality, thought provoking shows that have equalled and in some cases surpassed anything we have produced. The licence fee should be phased out. There is a lot of choice out there and paying for the BBC should be just that; a choice. For all those who dont mind paying, a subscription fee could be implemented. £6-8 per month for access to all BBC services. Those who object would no longer have to pay and in turn would not have access. Commercialism would no doubt soon follow, but there is no rule stating that the BBC have to adhere to other channels trends of having so many commercial breaks. In fact, the BBC could quite easily run a premium service with no commercial interuptions at all for an extra fee. None of this is unrealstic with the way digital services are in place. It is outdated and clearly divides opinion."
That would all be well and good DB if we were treated as shareholders and not forced subscribers. The license is a BBC protection racket tax. You can't watch any other channel without paying it legally. It's like picking up a copy of the Times only to be told you can't read that unless you purchase the Guardian as well!
Do your maths the population 62,641,000 times that by a £145.50 and see how great the bbc empire is!funds what they must have a hole in there pocket because the amount of money they have forced on people to pay they should be running more then the bbc
Its good to watch the news today to know that the bbc are getting it hard,and even the big guns want rid of the bbc so do the people really want the bbc?I think not
theamber1 It was just an estimate of what the bbc are expecting us to pay as children grow up they will be expected to pay,when ones child becomes a student in his one room with a laptop he will be expected to pay because his laptop can pick up a bbc channel,every household in this country are expected to pay. Must i buy the evening post befor im allowed to read the daily mail? anyway thats how big the empire is.How many billions have already been paid? Even prisioners pay a fee to have a tv in there cell,thats how far the empire stretches. The next time you watch the lottery and you see the rollover thats what the Tv licence makes now dont be fooled
Except that the TV licence is not required for each person, just each separate address where a TV, or other equipment capable of receiving live TV broadcasts, is kept. The approximate number of homes in the UK is about 25,000,000, add another 5,000,000 for business use, giving 30,000,000, less than half the number you offer. Giving a figure of £4,365,000,000,
Something about your area!

|JCSD is helping donate laptops to children in Zanzibar
JCSD Computer Services is helping Phase Forward to donate refurbish laptop computers and donate them to children and schools in Zanzibar, Africa.
Below is a picture of one of the laptops in a classroom, in the village of Jambiani, on the South East coast of Zanzibar.
Jambiani by Isabella (Izzi) Wren
I was intrigued though by the women of the Village, who each day trudged, fully clothed, out, at low tide, into the sea, branches in hand. What were they up to? And why were they, like me, not enjoying the beautiful weather?
Finally i plucked up the courage and asked the waiter who bought me my iced cappuccino. "Growing and harvesting seaweed" he replied. My interest aroused, i was determined to know more about this beautiful village.

You have to be totally honest with a Scorpio, says Bath astrologer Mary English
Posted: October 27, 2012|
"If you are living with or dating a Scorpio, the secret is to be totally honest," Bath astrologer Mary English told the Guide this week.
"If you don't like something, say so. What Scorpios hate the most is feeling someone is saying one thing, and thinking something else. You must also never 'let them down' ...they want to trust you will do everything you say you will, and if you can't, say so and re-negotiate. And more than anything, if they tell you a secret, it must stay exactly that: secret."
Mary has nearly reached the end of her 12-book zodiac series which started out with How to Survive a Pisces, which sold out and had to be re-printed.
Her latest book How to Win the Trust of a Scorpio is already being pre-ordered on Amazon UK and has received a glowing endorsement from USA-based astrologer Bill Teirney:
"Mary shines a bright light on some of Scorpio's inner motives and secret strategies, in ways that can help loved ones to better understand these complex individuals," he says.
Mary says in the book: "This is one of my more helpful books as it helps people truly understand this most misunderstood sign. Scorpios have suffered from years of misrepresentation and ridicule and I wanted to redress the balance."
How to Win the Trust of a Scorpio is available from on-line retailers including Amazon.
Also from Arcania in Orange Grove, Bath or can be ordered from Waterstone's customer services in Milsom Street or directly from her website www.maryenglish.com

Polarbeargate could become the new Climategate. The global warming alarmist movement is completely discredited – but there's startling new evidence that man-made climate change is threatening to wipe penguins off the face of the earth, that is if you are suckered by Al Gore's cartoonish, mindless, baseless propaganda.

I'm still bleeding but cramping is gone. It felt like a long ordeal but physically I'm better. I felt like I was a bad person though....... during it I felt...... emotionally.... NOTHING... I couldn't understand it... but yesterday the floodgates opened in a WAVE...Now I'm struggling with raw grief... has anyone else experienced this?View Thread
I couldn't bear the thought of carrying naturally for another few weeks or so.... Unfortunately I had to make my alternative choices based on the fact I have no insurance... The D&C was too expensive so I opted to take the internal medication to assist the miscarriage... I had no bleeding as yet but the medication worked very quickly for me. The cramping is bad but the Dr. has done everything to make me comfortable and prescribed some pain medication...
It IS a loss but I count myself lucky in the fact that my wonderful, most wonderful, fiance is a sensitive understanding man and has been at my side as often as he can... Then he asked if it would hurt me to plant a special tree/flowering bush behind our new home in memory of our lost baby... I cried when he asked because OF COURSE I want to remember this baby though he/she was so tiny... I feel blessed in the fact that he is supporting me and my emotions... there really can be beauty in the most horrible circumstances.View Thread
I'm scheduled for a second confirmation U/S tomorrow.... I just need to know what is an average time to miscarry after the fetus stops developing? I want to avoid a D&C but can't bear the thought of carrying my "gone" child. I found out Friday but shock settled in and now I can't stop apologizing to my baby... I know that the baby is barely bigger than a shrimp but it's still my baby! My first baby...as this is my first pregnancy. My fiancee is the most supportive man ever and I know he is hurting. It is especially hard because we are right in the middle of moving. We chose a place that had enough room for my beautiful step daughter and the baby. It is now painful for both us knowing that our little one is likely not coming (the dr. gave a 1-2% chance of seeing a heartbeat) I feel like in my heart I know....Please anyone, someone please give me information... I've tried to research how long but really can't find a definitive answer.. I'll ask the dr. tomorrow but I need info before that....
Thanks to all...View Thread
There was no heart beat either...
They began to discuss miscarriage, D&C and the medication with me...
I'm supposed to go for a follow up on Tuesday for the 2% chance they gave me but I feel like in my heart I just know... I haven't even processed it yet.... I'm numb.... I just learned this 3 hours ago....View Thread
I can't help but feel as if its my fault.....
I know its not...
but the second I saw the picture on the sonogram I knew something was wrong... and the look on the tech's face then the Dr.
They were so kind though...
I know there is still a small hope but deep down I feel like I just know...View Thread

Lima�Peru and Ecuador are considering performing a prefeasibility study on connecting an oil pipeline in southeastern Ecuador with one in northwestern Peru, according to Peru Energy and Mines Minister Jorge Chamot. Chamot made the announcement during a meeting of the Peru-Ecuador Binational Energy and Mines Technical Committee meeting in Lima Apr. 27.
The study is to be financed through the Peru-Canada cooperation program.
If approved, the study would be performed by Canadian companies Alberta Energy Inc. and SNC Lavalin Engineers & Constructors Inc. on the technical side and by Agra Earth & Environmental Ltd. on the environmental side. The project will determine feasibility of either connecting the pipelines or connecting the fields near the countries' common border.
Petroperu�s 200,000 b/d northwest pipeline operates at one-third of its capacity. One of the possibilities is for Ecuador to use the excess capacity for pumping oil to Bayovar on Peru's northern coast for shipment to Guayaquil.
Although Petroperu's oil fields and the La Pampilla refinery were privatized in the mid-1990s, the state oil company still owns and operates the Talara, Iquitos, and Conchan refineries and the North Peruvian Pipeline.

Next Wednesday marks the first street party of the year and, in honor of the upcoming holiday, the party has a Cinco de Mayo theme. In keeping with this theme, La Ventana, a locally based eight-piece band that performs Latin, rock, reggae and hip hop music, will put on a live show and get everyone dancing downtown.
Downtown and Tri-Valley businesses will have booths selling their wares and many charities, nonprofits, school groups and other organizations will also be present to meet with community members and pass out information. Even more fun for residents is running into neighbors and friends and catching up with people you may not have seen in a while. Every street party draws 4,000-8,000 people.
This summer the PDA has many fun themes and great bands lined up for each party. The June First Wednesday, which is June 7, will have a Mardi Gras theme, so there are sure to be tons of beads downtown that night. On July 5, the theme is "Red White and Blues" in honor of the Fourth of July holiday which will have just past and the band Deja Blues will provide music. August's party is a favorite every year. Titled the "Dog Days of Summer," one of the party highlights is the "Pooch Parade" where pet guardians dress up their dogs and march downtown. After the parade, dogs can win prizes in a variety of categories. This year the date is August 2. The last street party will be September 1 and is aptly named "It's Septemberfest." During the party, the four-piece band Public Eye will perform classic hits and will be back that same week during the Friday Concerts in the Park series.
Parties last from 6-9 p.m. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.pleasantondowntown.net for more information.

In the run-up to the government's 'emergency budget', the overwhelming political consensus, parroted each day by the BBC's economic correspondents, is that 'balancing the budget' and 'slashing the deficit' is now a national priority.
No coalition has yet been formed, but politicians on various sides are already talking of "stability" as if it over-rode all other considerations of democracy and policy.

The history of Katadyn goes back to an invention of Professor Alexander Krause from Munich to use electrolysis to deposit silver ions in water in order to clean it bacteriologically.
Last century, Katadyn started production of ceramic filters in the 1930s and moved its headquarters to Switzerland. In 1954, the company moved to a building in Wallisellen.
In the 1970s, Katadyn expanded its operations to include municipal water treatment with UV irradiation.
At the end of the 1980s, production was concentrated and expanded with a new building at the Wallisellen site. This new building led to considerable financial burdens, which made refinancing necessary in the mid 1990s.
At the beginning of 1997, Adrian Schmassmann took over operational management and launched an extensive restructuring program, which led to the company being profitable once again as of 1998.
At the end of 1998, Adrian Schmassmann together with other members of management acquired the Katadyn Group as part of a management buyout.
In 1999, activities in the UV water treatment sector were merged with the German competitor WEDECO, and the company went public.
In 2001, Katadyn was able to take over the two American companies Exstream and PUR Outdoor, which made it the largest supplier of portable water treatment systems. Portable seawater desalination systems were added through PUR Outdoor.
The French subsidiary was established in 2002 by buying a reseller, and a sales office was opened in Singapore.
The takeover of Trekking-Mahlzeiten GmbH in Germany followed in 2004 and entry into the field of freeze-dried outdoor nourishment. Increased vertical integration was also initiated through the company's own production of plastic components.
Optimus Sweden was purchased at the end of 2007, which complemented the product range with outdoor stoves.
At the end of 2009 Katadyn expanded its sphere of operations into the industrial and municipal water treatment sector by acquiring a majority stake in AQUAFIDES Switzerland and Germany
2010 saw the goundbreaking ceremony for the new company building in Kemptthal near Zurich/Switzerland.
2012 Founding of Katadyn Production srl. in Romania. Beginning of production for in-house demands.
2012 The Katadyn Group acquires the assets of the US company TyRy Foods, Inc., with the brands Natural
High, Richmoor, AlpineAire, and Gourmet Reserves. Founding of Katadyn North America Foods, LLC in
Sacramento, USA.
In September 2012, Katadyn Products Inc. moves its Swiss headquarters from Wallisellen to Kemptthal. The modern production facility offers spacious manufacturing halls, offices, and warehouses.
2015 The Katadyn Group acquires the assets of U.S. company Spectra Watermakers, Inc., headquartered in
San Rafael, California. Founding of Katadyn Desalination, LLC in San Rafael, USA.

About Me Gourmet Chef
I am buying four more of these for my sailboat.....I first only bought two to see if they work.They are perfect! The seal is very good, so the water stays in. This was my primary concern, because on a boat the water in an ordinary ice cube tray would slosh around and spill.

About Me Avid Cook
I am glad I've finally purchased this product and highly recommend this to others. I'm tired of ice trays that are open to the freezer smells and anything dropping into the cubes. This should be mandatory!
I ordered two and then two more
By KarenG
from Lake Crystal, MN
I ordered two ice cube trays, then two more. No more water spilled on the floor or into the freezer, and cubes are easier to get out. However, the tabs that are supposed to help open the top cracked and broke off leaving sharp edges/points. Don't bother with the tabs on the top lid, or make them thicker. Now we have ice cubes again!
Wonderful addition
By Grandma L
from Richmond, NH
Have been searching for covered ice trays for ages. I was very pleased to find them at an affordable price. The ice stays odor free!

Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship with Food [With CD (Audio)]by Jan Chozen Bays
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Here is an accessible and encouraging exploration of how and why to apply the Zen art of mindfulness to transform our "issues" with food. Whether we are overweight (as are two-thirds of American adults today) or suffer from an eating disorder, learning to eat mindfully can liberate us from the suffering we experience with food. Practiced for centuries in the Zen tradition, mindful eating is an approach that involves bringing ones full attention to the process of eatingbecoming fully present to the tastes, smells, thoughts, and feelings that arise during a meal. Preliminary research funded by the National Institutes of Health indicates that mindfulness is effective in treating eating disorders.
Dr. Bays, a physician and Zen teacher, offers a wonderfully clear presentation of what mindfulness is and how it can help us create a healthier relationship with food. In Mindful Eating she shows us how to rediscover the simple act of eating, thereby gaining control of our eating problems from the inside out. Along the way she reviews the relevant research, offers medical information, and presents numerous practical exercises drawn from her workshops. Through mindful eating we not only overcome our issues with food, but we can reawaken our sense of pleasure and satisfaction. This book shows us how.
Mindful Eating also includes a 70-minute audio CD containing guided exercises read by the author.
"Persuasively arguing that Americans have become obsessed with the constant pursuit of satiation, often to the detriment of their health, pediatrician and Zen teacher Bays calmly and systematically explains how a thoughtful approach to eating and drinking can positively affect one's weight and overall health. Through a series of guided exercises and meditations (and an accompanying CD), Bays encourages readers to examine their eating habits and relationships with food. Bays blames the 'Seven Hungers'-of eye ('boy those donuts look good'), mind ('I really should eat more grapefruit') heart ('this apple pie reminds me of my grandmother') and so on-for shaping our unhealthy and/or irrational eating patters; our inner perfectionists, critics and pushers only add to the cacophony, and Bays gives readers tools for silencing these discouraging voices. Bolstered by third-party research and a wealth of anecdotes, Bays's case for introspection over ice cream binges should connect with many. Though she doesn't promise instant results, Bays offers readers a guide to lifelong health through a measured attitude toward food; hers may well be the healthiest, most sane diet book to hit shelves in a while." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Practiced for centuries in the Zen tradition, mindful eating is an approach that involves bringing one's full attention to the process of eating--becoming fully present to the tastes, smells, thoughts, and feelings that arise during a meal. Dr. Bays offers a wonderfully clear presentation of what mindfulness is and how it can help to create a healthier relationship with food.
Anyone whos tried to lose weight through sheer will power knows how difficult, if not impossible, it can be. In this practical and paradigm-shifting book, Dr. Jean Kristeller presents a new alternative--a program for weight loss based on her successful Mindfulness-Based Eating Awareness Training Program. Instead of frustration, depravation, backsliding, guilt, and a lack of results, The Joy of Half a Cookie provides simple, proven ways to lose weight and keep it off, using what we now know about the power of the mind.
The first book to bring mindfulness to the dieting space in a truly accessible and mainstream way, The Joy of Half a Cookie will show readers how to lose weight while:
Written for anyone who wants to lose weight not just the mediation and yoga crowd this accessible book delivers a proven way to find peace of mind and a healthier relationship with food, for life.

Craigslist Makes Bank From Sex Ads — Horrible or No Biggie?
Like us on Facebook
Even though CEO James Buckmaster says that "Craigslist has done the best and most responsible job of combating child exploitation and human trafficking," anti-human trafficking organizations disagree. And just last week, the FBI arrested members of the Gambino crime family on charges that included selling the sexual services of teens on Craigslist.
How do you feel about the online classifieds site making money this way? Does it promote sexual exploitation?

Hello, my sweetest, dearest friends on this our beloved website! This is a note to let you know that I have not deserted you, thatI have missed you oh, so very, very much and I think about you all constantly - as well as the ANP, The Aards and W&G.
(I'm still sore for the ANP about the lack of an Oscar this year, but he'll be back ... and he'll mean business).
Healthwise, things took a turn for the worst in the past couple of months. I was ordered by the doctors to rest completely - which also meant having to be away from a computer for a while. Now THAT was a bummer!
However, I'm still resting because, although I'm feeling better than what I was, your friendly neighbourhood SockEye is not out of the woods yet and took this opportunity to write because I was desperate to drop you a line.
What an awful lot of catching up to do, folks! sigh!
You know, amongst my get well presents have been...SOCKS! Stripey ones, skully ones, Snoopy ones...unfortunately, no W&G. See you on the "Let's Talk about SOCKS!" thread very soon to push for more W&G socks.
Lots of love
Sock Eye Salmon
You precious member of the forum, you have returned to us....
Thankyou kindly for the mintballs, they seem to taste better every single time!!
I hope your health condition is getting better and its not too serious!
Get betta soon
SOCKEYE my fishy friend, i am sooo pleased to read you again! Only the other day i was wondering where in the cyberspace you were!
I'm sorry to read that you have been so ill and i hope to mintballs that you get better soon and that you will be able to join us regularly for our swims in cyberspace!
Sockeye have you read on the Sock Thread that indeed you can get wallace and gromit clothing items on the aardman website but no such luck on the sock front! i will be right by your side when it comes to the push to get those socks out! We need socks people!
SockEye! I have been SO worried! I've been praying for you, dear friend - and put in a prayer request on the Lourdes website like you've done for me and for Ralphie-the-Wonder Dog. I am chuffed to mintballs and BEYOND that you are back among us. I will not let up on the prayers, though. It sounds like you may still need them.
Hello SockEye. I've seen your posts but I'm not sure if you ever knew me.
Dearest, sweetest friends! I am heartened,touched and encouraged by your posts. You lovely people, you!
Ursrut, dear fruit, we will give our campaign some serious socks. The ANP said that Harryhausen's animations "blew his socks off!" Well, if that isn't evidence that he wears socks, I don't know what is. Please, Almighty Nick Park! Please endorse more W&G socks for us, even if its for charity (all the more incentive for we, the socks-starved public, to buy them and wear with pride). I hope you are fine and dandy!
Fish, old pal! Thank you so, so much for the Lourdes prayer request. Lourdes is never far from my mind even at the best of times. Fish, your prayers brought that hallowed place to me. As well as the pilgrimage itself, I even recalled the day when the French shop assistant pointed at my t-shirt and yelled out with joy "Ah! !"
If I'm not mistaken, the last time I posted you had a health problem of your own to deal with. How are things now?
Here are some cyber cookie bones for Ralphie the Wonder Dog with lots of love from Nutmeg Blue!
wghtmf, I'm sure I've read your posts, too. We'll get along fine!
Here are squillions of more cyber mintballs for you all!
Sockeye the mintballs are DELLlllllisous! I am well thank you- i hope you are getting up on your feet and are a lot better.
I have an idea now- i'll just write it out now and say what you think. It is based on what you've just said.
What if everyone designed a sock whether it is done by drawing or by computer. Then the sock designs will all be collected together for sending with a small petition and letter about how we've designed these socks because we noticed a distinct lack of wallace and gromit socks on the market and it is definitely needed, even if it is for the grand appeal -some socks to go with the wacky trousers prehaps? and it could raise a fair amount of money if it is sold at the Bristol Childrens Hospital or the Bristol Royal infirmary ( where i got a gromit key ring as a present). what about it? anyone up for it? The Grand appeal is a great charity which the hospital greatly benifits from it.
Sounds brilliant to me, Ursrut! I'm in - I'll start working on my sock design straight away!
SockEye - it's so good to read you again! Ralphie the Wonder Dog LOVES the cyber cookie bones and asked me to thank you and Nutmeg Blue. He is sending a chewbone and a couple of doggie treats along to Nutmeg Blue a la cyberspace.
Thanks for asking about my health. I am doing pretty well now. The infection appears to be gone. I go in for another check up soon.
Did I tell you I have new hearing aids? Now I can actually hear the cardinals sing AND enjoy seeing them, too! I can hear my guinea pig whistle - everyone told me he did that, but I never heard it before. Music is wonderful!! I can hear the higher sounds...I don't have words to describe what it is like for me! <= That's from joy, not sadness.
oh, congrats fish!!!
Whenever i open my fridge, i hear the whistles of delight for hope of food from my guinea pig!
Fish i am so pleased that you have got those new hearing aids it must be like a whole new world for you.
That's fantastic, Fish, old pal! I'm chuffed to mintballs for you. May you hear only beautiful sounds and music to fill you with joy
One friend of mine used to take them off when he wanted to read a book, a newspaper, get on with some work - or get some peace and quiet! Sure, you have the best of both worlds!
Nice mintballs.
SockEye, hearing aids really do make dandy ear plugs if you turn them off!
oh fish i still have the blocked nose
hi sockeye
remember me
I'm sorry to hear that, KC. I hope you get better quickly!
That's the spirit, Fish, old pal!
I remember you, kldceltic! Have you tried a decongestant gel for your blocked nose? Anything containing menthol and/or eucalyptus is great for relieving that distressing condition.
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
ha ha ha oh sockeye, you once again have cheered up my day which can only be decribed with inappropriate language. <3
I'm so pleased for you fish, you'll be able to hear sockeye sneaking up on you now!
LOL GLB- Sorry to read you had a bad day- chin up chuck
I dunno, GLB - SockEye can be VERY sneaky!
Sneaky? Moi?
Tea hee!
haha very funny sockeye
SockEye, old chum! Sorry to hear you've been ill - and, from the sound of it, so has Fish! And so am I, though probably not so ill as you; just a mild staphylococcal infection.
SockEye! I hope you get better tremendously!
Fish! Have you been deaf, or at least partly so, your whole life that you could never hear music or guinea-pigs before? Or has it just been a while? Either way, I hope it's going wonderfully!
I hope both - no, wait, I hope everybody's lives are going wonderfully! Hello everyone! Even people I haven't met before! Hello!
Hello, PiosonIvy haven't seen you on here in ages! Sorry to read you've had such a horrible infection.
Thanks, Poisonivy - the new hearing aids ARE going wonderfully!
To answer your question, I have hereditary progressive deafness. It's the same thing Beethoven had - minus the great musical talent. I've been completely deaf to the very highest pitched sounds for about 5 years. I didn't have a guinea pig before I lost that part of my hearing - so I'm hearing guinea pig whistles for the very first time in my life!
Bird song I used to be able to hear, and I'm now hearing again after a long, long time without it. I could hear music before, but it has been distorted because I could only hear the lower tones.
Thanks for asking - I expect I've given you too much information. Just chalk it up to my JOY being able to hear these things again.
Yay! SockEye
i love guineapig whistling!!
Anyone fancy a sock?
great concon- should i add it to the sock collection of designs?
Okay. :P
Its not very good though. xD
COME BACK TO US SOCKEYE!! Are you OK? The last I heard you were sick. Your last post here was 1 January 2011! I miss you SO much!
And....well...I'm running out of mintballs! How can I be chuffed to mintballs if you are not around to keep supplying them?
Fish, old pal! I'm OK, chuck! I miss you, too! I'll send you and Ursrut a long-overdue message. Here is a spaceship load of cybermintballs...
How are you? How's Ralphie the Wonderdog? Nutmeg Blue sends you lots of licks and cyberbicks! I hope all is well and dandy with you...
I'll be sending you and Ursrut an emessage very soon.
A little bit of news. I had a near-and-yet-so-far moment a few weeks ago. My friend informed me of an opportunity to attend a workshop with the ANP and Victoria Wood. Can you imagine how that felt? Any road-up, he applied for us both... only to find that the workshop was overwhelmingly oversubscribed!!! The disappointment was heartbreaking as I imagined 'sharing the experience with you' on our beloved site. Ah, but it was not to be... For a few days, I was reluctant to come on this site... but I'm over it now!
I have been sick, it is true. I've been sleeping a lot and have been getting extra medication. On top of that, I've been pacing myself with another project. Taking my time with it.
Thanks Fish for bringing this up again, I have been wondering about Sockeye a lot as well.
SOCKEYE!!! I'm so very glad to read you!!! It's such a shame that you weren't able to attend that workshop with the ANP and Victoria Wood- I can imagine the disappointment must have been great and I hope you will one day get a chance to attend a workshop with him!
Sorry that you have been sick and I'm sure that the sleeping and medication will have helped if my experience of being ill for the past two weeks has anything to go by! And if so, I should hope you are recovering as well as I am now. No more quiet house . Feel better soon.
Ursrut!!! Dear fruit!!!
Thank you for your kind words. I really miss you, my dear pals.
Indeed, having no place at the workshop was an awful disappointing blow - and the workshop was based a few miles 'Up North'. I,too, hope there will be another chance.
When I first heard about it, my heart lifted but you know what they say: plan is a 4 letter word.
I was going to get the W&G socks I wore to Cofton Park (when I saw the Pope) framed to give to Nick; I planned to tell Ms Wood that she played a blinder with her idea for the BBC drama "Eric and Ernie", about the early days of Morecambe and Wise. Ah, well.
I'm so sorry to hear you have not been well, either. I do hope you are pacing yourself and taking it steady.
It's a real pain being ill.
I hope you will get well soon, too. More power to you!
SOCKEYE! I'm so glad to read you that I'm chuffed BEYOND mintballs!
Other than my broken arm (long story, that) I'm very well. And my arm is healing up nicely.
Ralphie is an extremely happy doggie at the moment. The town we live in now has a HUGE dog park. We can legally let Ralphie off his lead. He runs and runs and runs - even though he is a wee bit "gimpy".
I'm so sorry about the workshop! That is hard.
How was the Pope's visit? Got any pictures you could upload?
Hiya, Fish, old pal!
I'm sorry to hear about your broken arm. Thank everything that's holy that your arm is healing well.
It's great when there is a huge space for Ralphie to run around in. We can make allowances for his gimpiness, after what he's been through of late. One of the simple pleasures I love is watching dogs running freely in a park. It lifts my heart.
Nutmeg Blue is watching what I'm doing on the computer so I'm typing with one hand whilst tickling her belly with the other hand. She sends lots of licks and cyber biccies.
The Pope's visit is as vivid in my memory as though he was here last week. It'll be a long account - too long for this message board - but I'll type it out for yourself and Ursrut soon...
It was hard cheese about the workshop with Nick Park and Victoria Wood. The truth be told, I took it badly but I was not surprised that it was oversubscribed.
My fella was going to bring the camera and take a few snaps. With the BBC moving some departments nearer home, there might be another chance in the future.
My fella still has the camera back at his flat and hasn't had the time to upload any pictures of Cofton Park himself ... even for my own photo album! I'll have to nag him into burning them onto a disc so that I can upload them for you and Ursrut. I'm dying to see them again, too.

Examples of Community Farms
Has anyone an idea of how many community farms there are, say, in the UK?
Are there great examples we can look at and are they all rural or are there examples of urban community farms?
There is a 3 acre plot of wilderness in the centre of Poole that we (Tranisition Town Poole) are helping the local council determine how best to use it and one part of it, say 1-2 acres, could be set aside for growing. Has anyone experience of cultivating this size plot in a town?

Happy 20th birthday FreeBSD ports tree!
August 21, 2014 by culot · Leave a Comment
It all started with this commit from Jordan Hubbard on August 21, 1994:
Commit my new ports make macros
Still not 100% complete yet by any means but fairly usable at this stage.
Twenty years later the ports tree is still there and actively
maintained. A video was prepared to celebrate the event and to thank
all of you who give some of their spare time and energy to the project!
Farewell beloved Canadian
August 12, 2014 by culot · Leave a Comment
Last month, our beloved Canadian Thomas Abthorpe decided to step
down from his portmgr-secretary position. While I suspect this is secretly
related to his pool of Canadian jokes having dried up, the official reason is
that Thomas wants to focus more on his private and professional lives for the
moment. Needless to say, the whole ports community is in mourning.

Suspended Orthodox archbishop faces abuse trial in Canada
Catholic World News - January 19, 2012
An Orthodox prelate who was suspended from ministry in 2010 will have to stand trial on sex-abuse charges.
Following a court hearing in Winnipeg determined that the evidence against Archbishop Seraphim Storheim was sufficient to merit a full trial, which was scheduled for March. The Orthodox prelate is accused of molesting teenage boys while serving in Manitoba 30 years ago.
Late in 2010 (the Winnipeg Free Press story inaccurately refers to "last November"), Archbishop Seraphim was suspended from episcopal ministry by the Synod of Bishops of the Orthodox Church of America. He had been serving as Archbishop of Ottawa.
