London attractions: Enjoy a birthday bash at HMS Belfast
Published: Tuesday 12th of March 2013
If you are looking for fun things to do in London, why not hop on board the HMS Belfast, which is moored on the River Thames.
This historic ship was used in active military engagements up until the 1960s, and was used in the destruction of the battle cruiser Scharnhorst, the Normandy Landings and the Korean War.
It celebrates its 75 year anniversary on St Patrick's Day, March 17th, and it is holding a number of family activities to celebrate the occasion.
So if you are around on March 16th-17th, there'll be a number of weekend activities for you to get your teeth into.
Highlights of the weekend include gun firing at various times throughout the day, medallion making sessions for the kids and live radio sessions.
In addition, guests can enjoy some live music performances and some Irish-themed food onboard.
The events are suitable for all ages and give visitors a chance to delve more into the history behind this iconic battleship.

Home ⋅ Photo Birth Announcements & Baby Announcements ⋅ Baby Boy Birth Announcements ⋅ Baby Boy Birth Announcements: Classic Collection ⋅ Folded
"A delightful little thank you card. The design is simple and elegant, perfect for newborn thank yous, notes and christening."
"These note cards are even more darling in person! The blue has a little big more green than the website reveals, but it's pretty close. They look great and are perfect for sending thank-yous for my baby boy."
"I wanted a simple design that I could personlize for my thank you cards for my baby boys baby shower. They are perfect! I also got the matching return labels to coordinate. My only critique is the picture on the website- the background looks more of a light blue than they actually are. They are an aloe (as described) color - like a light blue green. But the letters H, K, U in thank you are a pretty light blue. They really look nice. I am very pleased and the service was great. They sent emails regarding when they were processed and then another one when they were shipped. I am considering becoming a Tiny Prints member!"
"Great little touch to send personalized thank you card! They were exactly what I expected and even arrived sooner than anticipated!"
"I ordered this card for my third son, and this was our first time using Tiny Prints. Even though I was already happy with stationary purchases from another online vendor, this paper quality is by far the best. The only disappointment is that the stationary from Tiny Prints does not come with individual boxes. It will take a few years for us to go through all of these Thank You notes, and there is no nice box in which to store them"

Gov. Neil Abercrombie and the state legislature have released $400,000 in grant funds for the Hawaii Meth Project.
The funds will be used to educate Hawaii's young people about the risks and dangers of methamphetamine through online and direct outreach in schools and community events.
"We must empower our keiki to be wise and responsible with their lives," Gov. Abercrombie said. "The Hawaii Meth Project provides them with the education they need in our fight against meth."
The program was launched in Hawaii in 2009. It has five affiliates across the United States.

Congratulations and best wishes (I'm assuming it's a child).
There's a power of two special now. Start training the tykes eve account now and by the time the kid is old enough to play they'll have a supercarrier.
so that's why you started the friday blog war on monday last week? You simply didn't know what day it was.
All the best. Sleep is highly overrated.

Also known as: Biofuel Production Manager, Biofuels Production and Plant Manager, Biofuels Operations Manager, Biodiesel Plant Production Manager, Biodiesel Production Manager.
In the wake of growing interest in a green economy and the rejection of fossil fuels, new "green" occupations are growing. A person passionate about the environment is perfectly suited to the management and production of biofuels. Biofuels are alternative fuels extracted from plants or treated municipal and industrial waste, also referred to as biomass.
A biofuels production manager is responsible for overseeing the manufacture of biofuels, including facility management, budget implementation, and quality assurance controls. The job entails the ability to work well with others, as well as the ability to supervise and manage people throughout the biofuel manufacturing process.
Would you make a good biofuels production manager? Sokanu's free assessment reveals how compatible you are with a career across 5 dimensions!Take the free career test
Duties vary for a person trained as a biofuel production manager. Data analysis of production levels while tracking effective and ineffective safety procedures is part of the production manager's job. In fact, all aspects of the production and management of biofuel personnel are within the purview of the biofuel production manager. Daily and weekly reports to superiors are also a part of the job for a biofuel production management.
Processing information and decision-making are routine to the person who is a biofuel production manager. Information must be gathered and analyzed in relation to personnel performance and factory production. The production manager is responsible for considering and applying available information to solve problems as they occur and to prevent problems from happening.
A manager is responsible for the production of alternative fuels or biofuels. The biofuel production manager has both an overall and detailed knowledge of the production process. He or she is responsible for making sure production is conducted properly to guarantee the health and welfare of employees and the environment. The development and implementation of standard operating procedures essential to factory manufacture and biofuel development are part of the duties of someone who works in biofuel production as a manager.
A biofuel manager's workplace is conducted throughout the factory where production of biofuel occurs. Naturally, some work is conducted in the manager's office. Regular reports regarding the process of biofuel production are a necessary, routine part of the biofuel production manager's job. In some cases, interviews and employee training are conducted in a manager's office.
However, for the most part, the workplace of the biofuel production manager is directed at the processes of producing biofuel and the employees responsible for the manufacture of biofuel. Factory equipment must be inspected regularly to assure that the equipment is working optimally and within company and government guidelines.

where does Trillian store its chat history in MAC
Hi there,
could anyone help me look for my chat history in MAC OSX Lion (10.7)? i want to copy off the whole file but can't seem to find it. it's easier to find it in windows 7... but for the life of me, i can't find it in OS X..... hope any of you guys can help....
~/Library/Application Support/Trillian/[astra account]/logs is the directory containing all logs, where [astra account] is your Trillian Astra login. Hope that helps!
Note the initial '~' which means 'my home directory' on Mac OS X; this is in the Library directory under your home directory, NOT the one under the top-level of the hard drive. If you are on Lion, the Library directory has been rendered invisible/hidden by the system upgrade, but you can still manually go to it in Terminal or by using Command-Shift-G in Finder to enter a path directly.
Hi Rachel,
thanks for the reply. if i log back in to my Trillian for windows..... any chat history that occurred when i used my Macbook Air, would it be downloaded from the cloud to my windows machine? so that i won't need to go looking for the chat history in my Mac... i'll just have it downloaded to my windows machine directly from the cloud ...... do you think that's possible? again my thanks for the reply.
If you are a Pro user, just make sure the 'Backup chat logs to the cloud' feature is enabled, as in https://skitch.com/sparks/g7176/skitched-20120131-185435 -- that'll do precisely what you're asking, making sure all your logs are automatically in sync between the different machines.
Hope that helps!
Groovy!!! Thanks!
I'm using Lion and I can't find my chat history in my mac, even following all the instructions, there's no folder on my application support, I've tried to find manually on Terminal or Go To Folder, and I haven't found nothing, please someone help me.
What do you need the files for, Tonon? If you just want to view them, there's a history viewer built in to Trillian by default. If you want to back up them up, however, you'll just want the 'logs' directory of your given account.
To find your Trillian account's directory, go into the Library directory under your home directory.
On Lion, Mac OS X makes the Library directory invisible by default, as seen here: https://skitch.com/sparks/g727g/skitched-20120201-094202
But you can hit Command-Shift-G to bring up a 'go to this directory' option in Finder: https://skitch.com/sparks/g726b/skitched-20120201-094351
Again, make certain the path you enter begins with ~ -- that tilde character means 'my home directory,' so ~/Library moves you into the now-invisible Library directory under your home directory, NOT the Library directory at the root of the hard drive.
Once you hit 'Go' and zip down into that Trillian directory, you'll find that there is a subdirectory for each Astra account you use locally. Under a given directory, you'll find a 'logs' subdirectory containing all the data files used to generate the history windows.

Most people love blue skies and clearly prefer being drenched with sunshine rather than rain. The sunny regions of the country are booming as people move to where they know the calendar will be filled with blue-sky days.
But think a bit more about what a blue sky means. In other words, think about the absence of clouds.
If you know where your water comes from, you know towns and cities draw their water from rivers, lakes or groundwater. These sources are replenished by rain and snow, and we all know that rain and snow come from… clouds.
So clouds are like water-delivery trucks rolling into town. What does this say about places with clear, blue—and cloud-free—skies?
To better understand the relationship between clouds and water supply, I did a very quick analysis of some readily available numbers.
- First, I looked at SustainLane's ranking of the sustainability of major U.S. cities' water supply systems. These rankings provide an indication of how reliable or, on the other hand, how stressed or vulnerable a city's source of water is.
- Second, for each city I looked at the average number of cloudy days per year, from the National Weather Service.
The result shows that the most water-sustainable cities are the most cloudy, and the least water-sustainable cities are those with the most sun. (See the graph on the next page; the most water-sustainable cities have low numbers and are on the left side of the graph.) This correlation will not shock anyone who remembers the hydrological cycle from high school.

Some gardeners swear by them, others swear at them.
Greenhouses can be a useful tool in the gardening hobby, but they are also some work to take care of.
For the fair weather gardener, the spring and summer bring a lot of fun and work. Some may like that duty of watering, weeding and feeding plants in the good weather, but taking care of a greenhouse is a year around endeavor if it is to be done right.
But let's say that a committed gardener is interested in taking care of vegetable plants or flowers all year round. Let's say they are dedicated to starting plants early and having them be beautiful before their neighbors barely get their yards off the ground in the early spring.
Where does one start with planning a greenhouse? Well it begins with planning.
Careful planning is important before a home greenhouse project is started. Building a greenhouse does not need to be expensive or time-consuming. The final choice of the type of greenhouse will depend on the growing space desired, home architecture, available sites, and costs.
In the end, however, the greenhouse must provide the proper environment for growing plants.
The first consideration is location. The greenhouse should be situated where it will get maximum sunlight.
The first choice of location is the south or southeast side of a building or shade trees. Sunlight all day is best, but morning sunlight on the east side is sufficient for plants. Morning sunlight is most desirable because it allows the plant's food production process to begin early; thus growth is maximized.
An east side location captures the most November to February sunlight.
The next best sites are southwest and west of major structures, where plants receive sunlight later in the day.
North of major structures is the least desirable location and is good only for plants that require little light.
Trees can effectively shade the greenhouse from the intense late afternoon summer sun; however, they should not shade the greenhouse in the morning. Deciduous trees in particular also allow maximum exposure to the winter sun because they shed their leaves in the fall. Evergreen trees that have foliage year round should not be located where they will shade the greenhouse because they will block the less intense winter sun.
Anyone planning a greenhouse should aim to maximize winter sun exposure, particularly if the greenhouse is used all year. Remember that the sun is lower in the southern sky in winter causing long shadows to be cast by buildings and evergreen trees.
Good drainage is another requirement for the site. When necessary, build the greenhouse above the surrounding ground so rain water and irrigation water will drain away. Other site considerations include the light requirements of the plants to be grown; locations of sources of heat, water, and electricity; and shelter from winter wind. Access to the greenhouse should be convenient for both people and utilities. A workplace for potting plants and a storage area for supplies should be nearby.
In combination with these factors one also has to consider what kind of greenhouse they plan on constructing.
A home greenhouse can be attached to a house or garage, or it can be a freestanding structure. The chosen site and personal preference can dictate the choices to be considered. An attached greenhouse can be a half greenhouse, a full-size structure, or an extended window structure. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type. Here are some of the types to look at.
â¢Lean-to. A lean-to greenhouse is a half greenhouse, split along the peak of the roof, or ridge line, Lean-tos are useful where space is limited to a width of approximately seven to 12 feet, and they are the least expensive structures. The ridge of the lean-to is attached to a building using one side and an existing doorway, if available. Lean-tos are close to available electricity, water and heat.
The disadvantages include some limitations on space, sunlight, ventilation, and temperature control. The height of the supporting wall limits the potential size of the lean-to. The wider the lean-to, the higher the supporting wall must be. Temperature control is more difficult because the wall that the greenhouse is built on may collect the sun's heat while the translucent cover of the greenhouse may lose heat rapidly. The lean-to should face the best direction for adequate sun exposure.
Finally, consider the location of windows and doors on the supporting structure and remember that snow, ice, or heavy rain might slide off the roof or the house onto the structure.
â¢Even-span. An even-span is a full-size structure that has one gable end attached to another building. It is usually the largest and most costly option, but it provides more usable space and can be lengthened. The even-span has a better shape than a lean-to for air circulation to maintain uniform temperatures during the winter heating season. An even-span can accommodate two to three benches for growing crops.
â¢Window-mounted. A window-mounted greenhouse can be attached on the south or east side of a house. This glass enclosure gives space for conveniently growing a few plants at relatively low cost. The special window extends outward from the house a foot or so and can contain two or three shelves.
â¢Freestanding greenhouses are separate structures; they can be set apart from other buildings to get more sun and can be made as large or small as desired. A separate heating system is needed, and electricity and water must be installed.
The lowest cost per square foot of growing space is generally available in a freestanding or even-span greenhouse that is 17 to 18 feet wide. It can house a central bench, two side benches, and two walkways. The ratio of cost to the usable growing space is good.
When deciding on the type of structure, be sure to plan for adequate bench space, storage space, and room for future expansion. Large greenhouses are easier to manage because temperatures in small greenhouses fluctuate more rapidly. Small greenhouses have a large exposed area through which heat is lost or gained, and the air volume inside is relatively small; therefore, the air temperature changes quickly in a small greenhouse. Suggested minimum sizes are 6 feet wide by 12 feet long for an even-span or freestanding greenhouse.
One piece greenhouse. Several companies produce one piece greenhouses manufactured out of composite materials. These greenhouses are shipped from the factor or distributor and are installed by digging a trench the size of the base which is then set down into the trench and buried for an anchor.
These houses are usually small, although regular sizes can go up to 30 feet long or more with custom orders. Small single piece greenhouses can be seven by eight feet with a seven foot ceiling.
While the other kinds of greenhouses can vary in cost based on construction size and materials the average one piece greenhouses run between about $3200 (with shipping included to this area) to nearly $10,000 with custom models.
However rather than look at pre-built greenhouses or kits, many people prefer to build their own. There are many kinds of materials from which to choose when constructing a greenhouse.
First a good selection of commercial greenhouse frames and framing materials are available. The frames are made of wood, galvanized steel, or aluminum. Build-it-yourself greenhouse plans are usually for structures with wood or metal pipe frames. Plastic pipe materials generally are inadequate to meet snow and wind load requirements. Frames can be covered with glass, rigid fiberglass, rigid double-wall plastics, or plastic film. All have advantages and disadvantages. Each of these materials should be considered. It pays to shop around for ideas.
Greenhouse frames range from simple to complex, depending on the imagination of the designer and engineering requirements. The following are several common frames that can be found.
â¢Quonset. The quonset is a simple and efficient construction with an electrical conduit or galvanized steel pipe frame. The frame is circular and usually covered with plastic sheeting. quonset sidewall height is low, which restricts storage space and headroom.
â¢Gothic. The gothic frame construction is similar to that of the Quonset but it has a gothic shape. Wooden arches may be used and joined at the ridge. The gothic shape allows more headroom at the sidewall than does the quonset.
â¢Rigid-frame. The rigid-frame structure has vertical sidewalls and rafters for a clear-span construction. There are no columns or trusses to support the roof. Glued or nailed plywood gussets connect the sidewall supports to the rafters to make one rigid frame. The conventional gable roof and sidewalls allow maximum interior space and air circulation. A good foundation is required to support the lateral load on the sidewalls.
â¢Post and rafter and A-frame. The post and rafter is a simple construction of an embedded post and rafters, but it requires more wood or metal than some other designs. Strong sidewall posts and deep post embedment are required to withstand outward rafter forces and wind pressures. Like the rigid frame, the post and rafter design allows more space along the sidewalls and efficient air circulation. The A-frame is similar to the post and rafter construction except that a collar beam ties the upper parts of the rafters together.
While the frames support everything, other materials are just as important. The covering used can be of major consequence when building and using a greenhouse. Coverings include long-life glass, fiberglass, rigid double-wall plastics, and film plastics with one to three year life spans. When constructing a greenhouse the type of frame and cover must be matched correctly. Here is a short list.
â¢Glass. Glass is the traditional covering. It has a pleasing appearance, is inexpensive to maintain, and has a high degree of permanency. An aluminum frame with a glass covering provides a maintenance-free, weather-tight structure that minimizes heat costs and retains humidity. Glass is available in many forms that would be suitable with almost any style or architecture. Tempered glass is frequently used because it is two or three times stronger than regular glass. Small prefabricated glass greenhouses are available for do-it-yourself installation, but most should be built by the manufacturer because they can be difficult to construct.
The disadvantages of glass are that it is easily broken, is initially expensive to build, and requires must better frame construction than fiberglass or plastic. A good foundation is required, and the frames must be strong and must fit well together to support heavy, rigid glass.
â¢Fiberglass. Fiberglass is lightweight, strong, and practically hail proof. A good grade of fiberglass should be used because poor grades discolor and reduce light penetration. Use only clear, transparent, or translucent grades for greenhouse construction. Tedlar-coated fiberglass lasts up to 20 years. The resin covering the glass fibers will eventually wear off, allowing dirt to be retained by exposed fibers. A new coat of resin is needed after 10 to 15 years. Light penetration is initially as good as glass but can drop off considerably over time with poor grades of fiberglass.
â¢Double-wall plastic. Rigid double-layer plastic sheets of acrylic or polycarbonate are available to give long-life, heat-saving covers. These covers have two layers of rigid plastic separated by webs. The double-layer material retains more heat, so energy savings of 30 percent are common. The acrylic is a long-life, non yellowing material; the polycarbonate normally yellows faster, but usually is protected by a UV-inhibitor coating on the exposed surface. Both materials carry warranties for 10 years on their light transmission qualities. Both can be used on curved surfaces; the polycarbonate material can be curved the most. As a general rule, each layer reduces light by about 10 percent. About 80 percent of the light filters through double-layer plastic, compared with 90 percent for glass.
â¢Film-plastic. Film-plastic coverings are available in several grades of quality and several different materials. Generally, these are replaced more frequently than other covers. Structural costs are very low because the frame can be lighter and plastic film is inexpensive. Light transmission of these film-plastic coverings is comparable to glass. The films are made of polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), copolymers, and other materials. A utility grade of PE that will last about a year is available at local hardware stores. Commercial greenhouse grade PE has ultraviolet inhibitors in it to protect against ultraviolet rays; it lasts 12 to 18 months. Copolymers last two to three years. New additives have allowed the manufacture of film plastics that block and reflect radiated heat back into the greenhouse, as does glass which helps reduce heating costs. PVC or vinyl film costs two to five times as much as PE but lasts as long as five years. However, it is available only in sheets four to six feet wide. It attracts dust from the air, so it must be washed occasionally.
Depending on the kind of greenhouse one builds, it can last many years and give great service. As with most things, doing something on the cheap is seldom the way to get the best quality, but then gardening should be fun, and not something to continually worry about, especially when it comes to cost.

April 21st, 2013 (F1Plus / Chris Cameron-Dow) - The season does not seem to be getting any better for the Williams team. Four races into 2013, Maldonado and Bottas have not yet had the pace to challenge for points. Maldonado finished 11th in the Bahrain Grand Prix, but he was 20 seconds behind tenth place and nowhere near quick enough to challenge for the final points-paying position.
2013 has seen the second worst start to a sesaon in the history of the Williams team. Only 2010 was worse, when the best finish by a Williams driver in the first four races was 13th for Rubens Barrichello. Williams went on to finish the 2009 season ninth (where they are now) in the Constructors' Championship with just 5 points.
In today's Bahrain Grand Prix, Williams decided to split their tyre strategy, with both drivers stopping three times but on different tyres to start the race - Maldonado started on the medium tyre while Bottas started on the hard tyre. Maldonado's strategy proved to be quicker, as he finished 15 seconds ahead of his team-mate. There was a period where Maldonado battled with the McLaren, Lotus, Mercedes and Ferrari drivers, but that was mostly due to Maldonado being out of position in the pitstop phase. Nonetheless, he fought hard, but was ultimately unable to keep pace with the top ten.
Williams now have three weeks to work on developments to the car ahead of the next race in Barcelona. They will be hoping to find significant amounts of time before the start of the European season, and to get their championship campaign going as quickly as possible.
The team had the following to say after the Bahrain Grand Prix:
Mike Coughlan, Technical Director: "Having seen our pace on Friday, we were expecting a better race performance than what we showed in qualifying, and that is what happened today. We planned three pitstops with both cars and our strategy worked as we had hoped. We nearly got into the points, and although some cars ahead had problems, we were still pushing to the chequered flag. Both cars would likely have been fighting each other again at the end, but Valtteri lost some time due to a problem during his pitstops. We now need to continue improving the car performance for the next races."
Pastor Maldonado: "Considering the problems we have been having, I think we got 100% out of the car today. We put everything together today, working well as a team and managing the tyres, and 11th was the maximum we could have achieved. We are really looking forward to the next race where we should see a step forward. We must stay together and positive. It's a difficult time, but we still have many races to go."
Valtteri Bottas: "The race was really dominated by the rear tyres today. In the first two stints I was fighting with a lot of cars so it was difficult to look after the tyres and manage the pace. The last two stints were better as I had more clean air and managed to make up some ground on the cars ahead. We now need to keep on working to get some updates to help us in coming races."

The town of Colonie welcomed three new police officers at its town board meeting on Thursday, June 28.
Nicholas Lane, David Mink and Jacques Trembley were introduced to the board and heard words of praise from their new boss, Chief Steven Heider.
Heider thanked the board for supporting the police department.
We've had 58 new officers in the last five years, he said. "It's a very arduous process. All of our candidates have scored 90 or above on the police exam, have undergone an agility test, and a personal background investigation. From 15 candidates, we got these three. We are still two short, but that's how picky we are."
Lane, 26, scored a 95 on the test, has a degree from SUNY Brockport and a master's degree in public administration. He currently is an investigator with the state Department of Motor Vehicles.
Mink, 23, is following in his father's and uncles' footsteps. Dennis Mink is a 23-year-member of the Colonie Police Department, and three of his uncles serve in other police departments. He has attended Hudson Valley Community College and the University at Albany, and works for the state Office of the Budget.
Tremblay is a graduate of SUNY Delhi and a veteran of the U.S. Marines, who saw combat in Iraq.
"In a few weeks, they go to six-months basic, and I know we'll all be here to welcome them back," Heider said.
The town board also accepted an award from the American Conservation and Engineering Council, which Terry Brown, president of local engineering firm O'Brien and Gere presented to the board.
The award went to the town for its work upgrading the Latham Water District's Mohawk View water treatment plant.
"The American Conservation and Engineering Council is made up of more than 300,000 engineers, and for the vision of the community, we present this award," Brown said.

The Hour I First Believed (P.S.)by Wally Lamb
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Wally Lamb's two previous novels, She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True, struck a chord with readers. They responded to the intensely introspective nature of the books, and to their lively narrative styles and biting humor. One critic called Wally Lamb a modern-day Dostoevsky, whose characters struggle not only with their respective pasts, but with a mocking, sadistic God in whom they don't believe but to whom they turn, nevertheless, in times of trouble (New York Times).
In his new novel, The Hour I First Believed, Lamb travels well beyond his earlier work and embodies in his fiction myth, psychology, family history stretching back many generations, and the questions of faith that lie at the heart of everyday life. The result is an extraordinary tour de force, at once a meditation on the human condition and an unflinching yet compassionate evocation of character.
When forty-seven-year-old high school teacher Caelum Quirk and his younger wife, Maureen, a school nurse, move to Littleton, Colorado, they both get jobs at Columbine High School. In April 1999, Caelum returns home to Three Rivers, Connecticut, to be with his aunt who has just had a stroke. But Maureen finds herself in the school library at Columbine, cowering in a cabinet and expecting to be killed, as two vengeful students go on a carefully premeditated, murderous rampage. Miraculously she survives, but at a cost: she is unable to recover from the trauma. Caelum and Maureen flee Colorado and return to an illusion of safety at the Quirk family farm in Three Rivers. But the effects of chaos are not so easily put right, and further tragedy ensues.
While Maureen fights to regain her sanity, Caelum discovers a cache of old diaries, letters, and newspaper clippings in an upstairs bedroom of his family's house. The colorful and intriguing story they recount spans five generations of Quirk family ancestors, from the Civil War era to Caelum's own troubled childhood. Piece by piece, Caelum reconstructs the lives of the women and men whose legacy he bears. Unimaginable secrets emerge; long-buried fear, anger, guilt, and grief rise to the surface.
As Caelum grapples with unexpected and confounding revelations from the past, he also struggles to fashion a future out of the ashes of tragedy. His personal quest for meaning and faith becomes a mythic journey that is at the same time quintessentially contemporary — and American.
The Hour I First Believed is a profound and heart-rending work of fiction. Wally Lamb proves himself a virtuoso storyteller, assembling a variety of voices and an ensemble of characters rich enough to evoke all of humanity.
"[A] tour de force. The Hour I First Believed is his best yet. (Grade: A)" Entertainment Weekly
"Lamb at his best, wholly sympathetic, deeply moving." Washington Post
"Of interest...as an entry in the body of literature that has emerged from real tragedy." Kirkus Reviews
"A soaring novel as amazingly graceful as the classic hymn that provides the title" Miami Herald
The #1 New York Times-bestselling author and two-time Oprah's Book Club pick delivers his first novel in over a decade — an extraordinary work of prodigious scope and ambition that explores the consequences of violent events, and the chaos that ensues.
When high school teacher Caelum Quirk and his wife, Maureen, a school nurse, move to Littleton, Colorado, they both get jobs at Columbine High School. In April 1999, while Caelum is away, Maureen finds herself in the library at Columbine, cowering in a cabinet and expecting to be killed. Miraculously, she survives, but at a cost: she is unable to recover from the trauma. When Caelum and Maureen flee to an illusion of safety on the Quirk family's Connecticut farm, they discover that the effects of chaos are not easily put right, and further tragedy ensues.

What do whale sharks eat?
:: Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 @ 7:50:37 pm
:: Tags: Isla Mujeres 2010, marine life, Photo, Travel
Bonito eggs clumped on human skin
The hundreds of whale sharks that aggregate off of Isla Mujeres each year are here in a massive feeding frenzy. Their food are the eggs of bonito, which are released in huge quantities during spawning events in July and August. During our hours in the water each day with the sharks, our wetsuits act like egg collectors; by the end of the day, we have eggs all over our skin. Nathalie was nice enough to allow us to photograph eggs on her arm. She makes a great skin model.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls basketball team held the Española Valley Sundevils scoreless for nearly five minutes the fourth quarter as it pulled off the upset.
Los Alamos' Amber Logan and Kiana Zerr hit key field goals late as the Hilltoppers dropped the Sundevils 48-42 at Griffth Gym Saturday night.
The two teams played even for virtually the entire game, but Los Alamos, which made the big plays in the fourth quarter, secured the win.
McKenzie Logan and Erin Kirk both finished with 15 points as part of a balanced scoring attack for Los Alamos. For the Sundevils, their talented guard Lauren Quintana had a game-high 20, but was limited to 6 points in the second half.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the San Mateo CAA just like the vocational/technical programs that I often see advertised?
A: Absolutely not. CAA combines academic courses with relevant industry practices that lead to college credit and industry certifications at little to no cost. You can avoid the high cost of vocational schools by enrolling in CAA. You have opportunities for internships, job shadowing, targeted field trips, industry mentors, professional certifications, all within a small learning community with a consistent cohort of teachers and peers.
Q: If I study in a CAA program, doesn't that limit my opportunity to attend college?
A: It's just the opposite. Students in Career Academies graduate from high school and enroll in college at a higher rate than other students. Most CAA certificate programs offer day and night classes, which allow you to earn college credit while working in their chosen field. The combination of academics and marketable skills provides a strong basis for additional post-secondary studies.
Q: How do I Apply?
A: Applying is easy. You can apply by downloading the Allied Health or Automotive application here and sending it to: Career Advancement Academy, Skyline College, 3300 College Dr., San Bruno CA 94066-1662, Attention: Jeremy Evangelista, Program Services Coordinator.
Q: When do classes start?
A: We currently have a rolling admission process for all CAA certification programs. Classes typically begin at the start of the Fall and Spring semesters and have mandatory orientation dates required for completed admission. Make sure you know when these dates are and what is necessary to complete your enrollment.
Q: Do Career Advancement Academies emphasize finding certified students entry-level jobs?
A: One of the most powerful things about The San Mateo CAA is that students gain a solid academic foundation AND marketable skills. Students are enrolled in college, but there is also an immediate opportunity to enter the workforce with a marketable skill; we will assist you with finding employment. You have the choice to pursue additional certification programs or find a job. It is just that simple.
Q: Is CAA focused on students who are behind in their studies?
A: No. An important benefit of the CAA cohort/learning community experience is that you learn with a contextualized curriculum focused on a specific industry. Because academic courses are interwoven into the skills training, students of all learning styles and performance levels are able to achieve success. The CAA is the opposite of the "slow track". The accelerated courses allow you the opportunity to enter into the workforce soon after the completion of your first certificate.
Q: I have no previous automotive experience – can I still apply?
A: Absolutely! This program is designed for persons interested in the automotive field who have no previous knowledge or experience. You will find that through the program you will quickly gain the knowledge you need to start your career.
Q: I have automotive experience, but no certification – am I eligible?
A: Yes. Your experience will give you a leg up during the certification program. You may be eligible to test out of some of the program requirements and you gain to learn more by sharing your knowledge with your cohort/learning community.
Q: Why does the automotive program need a copy of my DMV record?
A: As part of the program, you will have access to vehicles and may on occasion need to test drive the cars that are being worked on. You need a valid driver's license and copy of your DMV record for insurance purposes.
Q: Do I have to go to the DMV to get a copy of my driving record?
A: No. You can visit the DMV website to request a copy of your driving record. http://dmv.ca.gov/online/dr/welcome.htm. The site will prompt you to register first (this is free). Then you will fill out the form to request your record. The cost is $2.00 and you must be ready to print the form at the time you request it.
Q: How do I know whether I should take the Math/English courses?
A: We know Math and English can be scary. As a part of the application process, applicants are told to take an assessment (scheduled with the CAA counselor). The results will determine whether you should take the Math and/or English courses offered in the program. The benefit of the San Mateo CAA is the Math and English course are taught in a contextualized method making it easier to grasp. This approach takes a lot of the fear away from those intimidating subjects.
Q: What jobs am I qualified for after I finish the program?
A: Depending on your certification program, you may qualify for entry-level technical employment. The added benefit of San Mateo CAA is that you receive certification recognized by employers and at any given time, students can return to the program for further certification to support their career advancement goals.
Q: Does the Allied Health Certification Program require a background check?
A: Yes. Because healthcare is interacting with individuals who are most vulnerable, it is mandated by the state that you do not have a criminal record. All applicants must not have any prior convictions on their record. If you do have a conviction, you are not eligible for the program. However, we can direct you to free or low cost legal services that may enable you to clear your record in time for registration. Contact us at any time during your application process for assistance with background checks.

The infamous annual Bilderberg meetings, which bring together global power-brokers from government, business, finance, intelligence, royalty, media, central banking, academia, and more, are set to begin this week in the United Kingdom. In line with an apparent trend developing in recent years, the veil of secrecy surrounding the mere existence of the controversial confab has slowly been pierced as more and more major media outlets report on the gathering. Taxpayers will be picking up much of the tab, but the growing numbers of protesters and reporters seeking answers will not be allowed in.
Even though Bilderberg has recently started publicly offering some details about its secretive meetings — partial guest lists and supposed topics of discussion, for example — critics say the real agenda remains hidden from the public at large. Around the world, however, outraged citizens and even excluded leaders have become increasingly suspicious of the gathering, blasting what they perceive as the planet's self-styled "elite" making decisions for humanity behind closed doors.
Of course, Bilderberg leaders try to frame the annual gathering as simply a forum to discuss global issues in private. Indeed, if it were known that attendees were formulating policy, at least American participants would likely be committing a felony by violating the Logan Act, which makes it a crime for Americans to formulate policy in secret with foreigners. Leaks and public statements by Bilderberg participants over the years, however, suggest that the meetings are about much more than just off-the-record discussions.
On the Bilderberg website, organizers offer few details. "Founded in 1954, Bilderberg is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America," the site claims without mentioning the key role of Nazi SS member Prince Bernhard of Holland in founding the events. "Every year, between 120-150 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media are invited to take part in the conference. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; one third from politics and government and the rest from other fields."
Commenting about the meetings themselves, Bilderberg claims online that the conference has always been a "forum for informal, off-the-record discussions about megatrends and the major issues facing the world." Because the gathering is private and closed to the public, it continues, "participants are not bound by the conventions of office or by pre-agreed positions" so they can take time to "listen, reflect and gather insights."

Massena 8, OFA 3: For the second time in as many days, the Raiders overcame a slow start before going on to claim a quality mid-season win at home over a Central Division rival.
I hope we dont make a habit of falling behind early, noted coach Greg Paquin after the Raiders improved to 5-0 atop the division standings and 11-1 overall. We just did a very good job of putting the bat on the ball against some very good pitching.
Jake Kormanyos went the distance for the win, shutting down the Blue Devils over the final six innings after surrendering three runs on five hits in the first inning. He finished with three strikeouts and four walks while scattering two hits the rest of the way. Breton LaRose (1K, 2BB) worked the hill the first three innings in taking the loss and gave way to reliever Alex Farrell (3K, 1BB) with OFA trailing 6-3.
In the first inning, Pat Cosmo drew a walk. Brandon Arsenault, Konnor Murdock, LaRose, Seth Pinkerton and Jon Tayler all connected for singles to drive home Cosmo, Arsenault and Murdock before LaRose was thrown out at the plate in front of the hit by Tayler to end the inning.

Jake Ward led the way offensively going 2-2 with three RBI. Josh Miller singled drive and drove in a run. Cullen Baines and Avery Barney both singled and came around to score twice while Kormanyos and David Phillips had the other hits.

Mike Burns singled in the fourth inning to account for the lone P-H hit. Tyler Gallagher scored the only run when his attempted steal of thirdbase led to an overthrow and allowed him time to race home.
The Panthers bounced back from their first division loss by building an early lead and making it stand for a 3-1.
Burns went the distance for the win, striking out six and walking none as the Panthers pushed across all their runs in the top of the first inning then gave up a solo run in the bottom of the fourth to reverse the Bulldogs.
LaBare had six strikeouts and one walk in taking the loss.

iOS 7 not only gives the App Store a huge redesign with new graphics and tabs, it also includes under-the-hood enhancements that make app discoverability and updating as fun as using the apps themselves.
One of the coolest new features in iOS 7's App Store (seemingly included at the request of US Senator John McCain) is the ability to update apps in the background.
In iOS 7, the App Store no longer nags you about available updates if you set it so. You can also continue to update your apps manually (as you currently do in iOS 6 and older versions), and you can specify if you want those updates delivered to you on Wi-Fi-only or on 3G too.
Apps Near Me is another new feature of the App Store in iOS 7. It replaces Genius and shows you a collection of the most popular apps relevant to your location.
The new Kids category (which the current developer beta doesn't yet include) showcases the best apps for children based on the age you specify.
iOS 7 will be available to end users this fall.
