The locals joke it took 26 million years to make the Limestone Coast. Check out the sites here and you'll agree it's been time well spent! Formed by tonnes of marine life falling to the sea floor, the Limestone Coast is book-ended by rivers. The coast heads south from the Coorong at the Murray River mouth and east to the Glenelg River. It's a treasure trove of natural wonders.The Limestone Coast features 20 sites of international or national significance. Mount Gambier's Blue Lake fills the crater of a dormant volcano. The Pool of Siloam at Beachport is seven times saltier than the sea. The mega fauna fossils in the World Heritage Listed Naracoorte Caves are around half a million years old. The list goes on. The traditional home of the Ngarrindjeri and Booandik people is simply bursting with experiences that have put South Australia on the international map.There are natural wonders like the unique Coorong, the stunning Blue Lake and the World Heritage Listed Naracooorte Caves. We're proud of the famous Coonawarra wines but nowhere demonstrates the human spirit like Penola, home of Australia's first Saint, Mary MacKillop.The Coorong National Park is an incredible spot for four wheel driving (4WD), fishing and boating. Birdwatchers, you're in for a real treat. More than 80 species live in this series of long, shallow saltwater lagoons. Towering white sand dunes separate the Coorong from the wilds of the Southern Ocean.History is proudly celebrated on the Limestone Coast and continues to be made here. The Coonawarra is Australia's top producer of premium red wines. Cruise this 12 kilometre strip of precious terra rossa soil, then sample wine from the cellar doors in Wrattonbully, Mount Benson or Padthaway.To help your planning, Visitor Information Centres are dotted around the region, including at Bordertown, Mount Gambier, Naracoorte, Penola and Robe.The Limestone Coast will give you memories good enough to bottle.

'Dancing With the Stars' Week 8: J.R. Gets Two Perfect Scores & Nancy Falls From Grace
This week J.R. was on a mission to dance a perfect waltz, and he most certainly succeeded. The pair got a standing ovation -- before their dance was even finished. J.R. and Karina were absolutely lovely together, so it's pretty fitting that the two would receive that first perfect score of the season. Despite J.R.'s goofy moves in rehearsals, this soldier is in it to win it. His lines were clean, his toes were pointed and he even managed to pull off some pretty impressive tricks (watch out, Derek!).
Not to say 'I told you so' or anything ... but I totally told you so. From week one, I knew J.R. was going to be the one to beat, and I couldn't help but feel like a proud mom watching him on that dance floor.
Just when I thought J.R. couldn't get any better, then came the instant jive, and it was clear J.R. wanted redemption after his last jive (or lindy hop, according to Len) failed to impress the judges. J.R. and Karina's instant jive was so on point that it looked like anything but instant. Len even told J.R. that he has "the X-Factor." Did you hear that, Simon? You can stop searching now, because I think we found your $5 million act.
Seriously, I can't think of a more deserving star than J.R. to receive the season's first perfect score. Week after week, he comes in with the right attitude and dedication, and he's an absolute pleasure to watch. But what I love most about J.R.? He never beats himself up or gets down on himself for not doing as well as he could have. Ricki, Hope, Rob and Nancy could definitely learn a lesson or two from this soldier.
Meanwhile, Ricki Lake and Derek also had the waltz this week, and it was beautifully executed, with the exception of a few hiccups. Watching Ricki is like a breath of fresh air. She's not dancing because she has to -- she's dancing because she loves to. Sure, Ricki has consistently been on top of the leaderboard, but that doesn't mean she hasn't transformed.
She's more confident, more energetic and definitely fitter. Seriously, Ricki is looking incredible. She almost makes me want to take dancing lessons. And having Derek as my teacher would definitely serve as some much-needed motivation.
Unfortunately, Ricki didn't impress the judges like she had hoped. Len even had a few harsh words for the former talk show host: "Unless you nail your footwork, you will never get a 10 from Len." But cheer up, Ricki. At least you got a 10 from Bruno.
For her instant jive, Ricki pulled out 'Land of 1000 Dances,' or what I call the 'FernGully' song. Of course Derek literally had a leaping start as he jumped over Ricki's head to kick off their instant jive. In my opinion there was a bit too much razzamatazz and not enough technique, and for once, the judges seemed to agree. When she didn't score as well as she wanted, Ricki started to cry. Cue sympathy votes now.
Rob Kardashian and his partner, the long-lost Kardashian, Cheryl Burke, danced the quickstep this week to the A-Ha classic 'Take On Me.' Honestly, I can't think of a pop song better suited for a quickstep, and Rob pulled it off amazingly well. Guys, forget what I said a few weeks ago, because Rob really has what it takes to make it to the finals, and dare I say it, win the Mirror Ball.
But the best part of Rob's dance? When Tom Bergeron told him: "And you've having the best week of any Kardashian." Oh Tom, I love you. With his sister Kim Kardashian filing for divorce and his mom Kris Jenner calling out "Indian givers" on live television, Rob really is having the best week in the Kardashian kingdom.
For their instant jive, Rob pulled out 'Maneater' by Hall & Oats, which happens to be his "favorite group ever!" That was obviously sarcastic. His instant jive was a bit stomp heavy, but for only having 20 minutes to prepare, it's clear how far Rob has come since week one.
But I will say one thing: Watch that bum, Rob! It took Carrie Ann two minutes to recover from the excessive booty shaking. Looks like Rob really is coming out of sister Kim's shadow, proving that he too has some big assets to offer.
Is it me or does Hope Solo always get the weirdest outfits? Regardless of the silly raincoat ensemble, Hope had her best dance of the competition. OK, so her footwork was a little off, but the judges seemed to agree that Hope and Maks dominated the dance floor with their lively quickstep.
Although was I the only one that felt like when Len told her that she had "fulfilled her potential," he was simultaneously telling her to kiss off?
Maks also took full responsibility for being "overly rough" last week, and this week he turned into a big softie, trying a gentler approach with the soccer star. In an attempt to humanize their PR nightmare, the 'DWTS' producers took us inside Maks' home this week, where we learned that he used to cry a lot as a child -- practically every day, according to his father.
For her instant jive, Hope pulled out 'What the Hell' by Avril Lavigne, and it became instantly clear that the US women's soccer team does not jam out to Avril before their games.
But despite Hope not knowing the song, she totally rocked her instant jive. In fact, she never looked happier or so on point throughout the entire competition. Len nearly had a heart attack! Her kicks and flicks were practically flawless, and for the first time, I actually saw her competing in the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, Nancy Grace and Tristan's love-hate relationship is sort of adorable, even though you can see how visibly frustrated they both are at each other. But it's kind of endearing, no? I know for sure that I probably wouldn't have been able to put up with Nancy this season had it not been for Tristan bringing out her funny side.
And this week's tango proved that maybe the more Tristan and Nancy bicker during rehearsals, the better they do on the dance floor -- unlike Hope and Maks. While I don't think that it was her best, Nancy and Tristan's tango was a pretty solid effort from the television host. It wasn't the best, but it was certainly better than her frightening jive last week.
For their instant jive, Nancy got another chance to prove to the judges that she could jive ... unfortunately, her instant jive was just as bad as her non-instant jive. However, for the first time since I can remember (ever!), Nancy literally got down on her knees and begged the judges to giver her a break. Begged! Nancy Grace does not beg. I fear that 'DWTS' is turning her into a big softie. Maybe it is time for Cinderella to leave the ball after all. But can't we keep Tristan?!
Compared to the others, Nancy just can't keep up, but that might not stop her from making it to the semi-finals. After all, she does have a fierce fan base, and as we've learned from previous weeks, the judges' scores don't really matter too much.

Dear home-brewers,I stumbled across these clever, and certainly inexpensive DIY flashlight plans. I make no claims about its effectiveness, and question whether there's a better way than permanently soldering the batteries, but figured it would at least generate some enhancements from this erudite group :-)http://www.grynx.com/projects/tictac-flashlight/
Thanks Rick. Cute little design. H.O. (to borrow an automotive term) LED and wide flood angle (35deg) - looks like a nice LED - perhaps one of the newest generation of 5mm LEDs (like in the Photon Maxx) ???Improving just a bit, but still keeping it quite simple so no regulator circuitry is required, I think I'd like to go for a double-throw switch. Why? Put the 27ohm resistor on one side of the switch for when batts are fresh and near rated voltage, then put a lower resistance resistor on the other side of the switch for when the batts are closer to 1.0-1.1 volts (1.2v???) for each cell. This will give a "new life" to the LED, making it brighter again, but for a shorter overall burn time - not that much usable light is available near the end of useful batt life anyways, so, not really much of a loss, IMHO. Possibly could get by with no resistor - need to be careful NOT to switch to this side before batt voltage drops significantly - i.e., closer to the forward bias voltage. Like zener's white LEDs have a very narrow band where they respond somewhat linearly to voltage - too little = no output; too much = exceed max sustained current capability and will burn up. [sort of an "avalanche" region] Need to operate in the narrow band between the too little and too much voltages (around rated forward bias voltage, typically ~3.4 to 3.5 volts for white LEDs, IIRC - best check me on this) in order to operate without a current limiting resistor.I've done something similar with a double-throw switch in a homebrew 9x5mm LED array headlamp I made a few years ago, but not for switching resistor's, but rather for switching in a backup set of 3xAAA batts (3xAA were the primary source). when the primaries were run down.

Pretty cool. Do you know what it weighs?
Edited by jasonklass on 04/13/2006 18:40:49 MDT.
Jason, I don't really know, but 95% (or even 98% ???) of the wt is the batts.You can buy, empty, and weigh a TicTac container - i don't know what it weighs.The switch, LED, wire, and resistor is close to being neglible weight (esp. since there isn't much wire - copper is relatively heavy).The batts = typical wts = alk. AAA = 0.4oz each -AND- Li AAA = 0.27oz eachSo, figure easily under 2oz with alk batts is my semi-educated guess - maybe more like 1.5oz, and maybe 1.1oz for Li batts. Not too shabby when one considers the battery life.It would be neat (IF there is room) to add a second switch, resistor, and LED in parallel with the first. A second LED can really brighten up a little task/proximity light. Just compare the PT Scout (2LEDs) to the PT Eclipse (1LED) to see what I mean.

Rick, as a member of the BPL staff can you access my private email address listed in my account? If so, please email me there. I have a small private matter that might be of interest to you (no, it's NOT about you adopting me so I can use your camera). Many thanks, pj
Edited by pj on 04/13/2006 19:40:45 MDT.
Hi Paul,I don't hold the secret decoder ring, but feel free to send an explanatory note along with your address as a support request, and Addie will be happy to forward it to me.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/support/support_issue_manage.htmlre. Those cameras--hate to admit it but they are gathering some dust these days.--Rick
Thanks Paul. It seems like it might be haevier than my EOS. What do you think?
>>"...heavier than my Eos..."Jason, No, I don't think so. It's 1/2 or 1/3 the wt of your Eos. Now, it's an entirely different kind of light. The Eos is a 10mm Luxeon-type LED - great for distance lighting (e.g. nighttime trail navigation). The MYOG project Rick alerted readers to is a 5mm LED useful for proximity/task lighting. So, the lights have two totally different purposes.

Is it about comet 73p bla bla bla that is supose to hit earth around 25 May with some of its fragments?I just got the strangest email was it from you Paul?
No, Bill. Wasn't from me. Anything I would send to you (if I even knew your email address) would have my name on it. I'd never email you anything that I would feel uncomfortable putting my name to.Besides, I don't know anything about a comet striking the earth 25May. But, I've heard that the sky is falling!!!Hope you determine the sender.BTW, great Alphamid you're building. Hope you let us all know about its wind resistance. I'm not sure how its shape would handle 40-50mph wind gusts. That's the only reason (oh...and bug netting - which I now understand can be added by Oware) why I didn't buy one from Oware a year or so before I purchased the SMD Lunar Solo 'e'.
I accidently stumbled across the comet prediction this morning. It was made by one Eric Julien of the Exopolitics Institute. His complete paper is here. Here are a few quotes: "I received on April 7, 2006 a telepathic message from extraterrestrial friends." & "[comet] would cross the plane of the ecliptic of the Earth at the date of MAY 25, 2006, the date received by telepathy!"So tell us PJ, are you now or were you ever a member of the Exopolitics Institute? ;-)
Hmm, interesting document although I don't think i'll be losing any sleep! I think I prefer to believe Chicken Licken, Foxy Loxy etc etc.. I saw them on the TV, so it must be true.
>>"So tell us PJ, are you now or were you ever a member of the Exopolitics Institute?"No. I don't even know what it is. But, I was born on what is (or at least used to be) known as "Alien Registration Day". They used to have TV commericials reminding all "Aliens" that they must register with the US Gov't each year by that day.As a young kid, I always found that funny, as I never thought that we had any "aliens" living on the earth. But, then, I was a dumb kid (who grew up to be a dumb adult), so what did I know??? - especially, if the US Gov't was saying that they had to register - who was I to disagree??!!When I was much younger, one long weekend I deecided to give this matter of "Alien Registration Day" great thought, so starting on Friday I set my mind to thinking on it, but still couldn't figure out what the TV commercials meant, even by Monday morning when I had to be back at College!!!

The constitution of the Aryan
World and National Aryan State
is based upon the Leadership
The Covenant combines the
people's will with the authority
of administering the Law.
The best form of State and
Constitution is that which, with
natural sureness of hand, raises
the best brains of the community
to a position of leadership and
predominant influence.
The end in view of all Aryan
efforts and institutions is the
preservation and increase of the
race and people of their Father
and God.
The Aryan Constitution is
Divinely ordained and based upon
Eternal Life Law principles.
The Divine-Ordained Aryan
Constitution stems from a single
central authority.
The heads of all departments
carry full responsibility in
their work, exercising control
over subordinates and being
subject to the general control
of their superiors.
Such is the executive foundation
of the Aryan National State.
The Aryan United States
represents the leadership or the
control of its own destinies by
the entire community as a Nation
and Race.
Neither the merchants nor the
workers, private class nor
group, can control a State for
its own private interests.
Capitalism, or the lending and
borrowing of money at interest,
cannot be in the Aryan State.
The economic system is, under
Divine Law, controlled towards
the equation of production and
consumption in which there is
only income earned by work.
The starting point of an Aryan
National State is not the State
but the people. The
supreme test of every
institution is: Does it preserve
the people?
Intolerance of opposing ideas is
necessary to strength.
Strength lies in the disciplined
observance of rigid principle
based upon preservation of
Nation and Race.
The Aryan political concept of
government is by statesmen
trained in natural Divine Law
and administrators, advised by
technical experts in the various
fields of economic and cultural
The Aryan views not only his
State and Nation but his Race
throughout the earth; and he
works for understanding and
union between the different
language of the one, ordained
ruling Race. Against
the international organization
of Jewry he sets his Aryan
Christian World union.
Aryan Nationalism embraces the
heroic Aryan principle.
Sacrifice for the Cause rather
than personal pleasure must be
the guiding light.
For, on the foundation of Aryan
strength and unity are built the
only possibilities of individual
fullness of life. To
the anti-Christ doctrine of the
prime importance of the
individual, the Aryan
Nationalist replies with the
doctrine of common Racial
interest before private
interest. This
concept, together with the
leadership principle forms the
basis of this Aryan Christian
Constitution, a Divine Compact.
The Aryan Nations movement is
not mere theory: it is the
acknowledgment of the millions
of our Race that they are
brothers and sisters. The future
of an Aryan America as of the
whole Aryan world, does not
depend on the number of
associations which work for this
future, but it rather depends on
the question whether the will of
the many can be successfully
brought to acknowledge our
Father's single Will and, thus,
be united in a movement which
will execute our purpose and our
ordained mission on earth.

Putin's Amnesty Is an Opening for the WestJan 03, 2014
There are plenty of reasons to be cynical about Russian President Vladimir Putin's motivation in announcing an amnesty last month for more than 20,000 prisoners, writes Matthew Rojansky. But one vital fact should not be overlooked: real progress has now been made on one of the most persistently contentious items on the Russia-West agenda.
Putin's (Un)Happy New YearJan 02, 2014
In his final 2013 appearances, Putin subtly warned — and the Volgograd bombings graphically confirmed — that major changes must come in the new year. William Pomeranz analyzes Putin's December speeches and what they say about Russia in 2014.
Russia and Countering Violent Extremism in the Internet and Social Media: Exploring Prospects for U.S.-Russia Cooperation Beyond the "Reset"Dec 16, 2013
This study, based on primary research conducted in Moscow in 2012, defines Russia's assessment of domestic and international sources violent extremist threats; explains Moscow's perspective on balancing democratic principles with the challenge of countering violent extremism in the Internet/social media; assesses existing capacities and impediments to further international collaboration with Russia in countering violent extremism in the Internet/social media spheres; defines specific initiatives that Russia, the United States, and other nations of the world community could advance to enhance international cooperation in countering violent extremism throughout the world cyber community.
Ukraine's Protests: Not (Yet) a RevolutionDec 12, 2013
Though Ukraine appears to be "caught between East and West," Ukrainians themselves do not see it this way, writes Matthew Rojansky. "The protest movement appears to be an expression of support for a modern, European, democratic Ukrainian state."
Hands off the ConstitutionDec 12, 2013
Putin Shakes Up Russian Media LandscapeDec 11, 2013
Kennan Institute's Deputy Director, William Pomeranz, is interviewed by the Wall Street Journal about Russia's surprise closure of RIA Novosti.
Calm Down About UkraineDec 06, 2013
"The bigger problem with lamentations about "who lost Ukraine" is that they offer no useful assessment of why Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovich actually decided to walk away from the table, while painting the future with a hopelessly broad brush, and sidestepping the most urgently important question—what to do next," writes Matthew Rojansky in The National Interest.
Who Needs European Integration in Ukraine?Dec 04, 2013
The West has yet another opportunity to learn more about Ukraine. Although it's not under the best circumstances, we hope that someday the opportunities will change in their quality, not just increase in quantity, and the word "Ukraine" will evoke, in the minds of EU citizens, something specific and positive rather than vague and negative.

Russia: Where Has All the Money Gone?Nov 25, 2013
Forbes dubbed Russian President Vladimir Putin the most powerful man in the world. Yet all these successes obscure a basic fact: Russia is running out of money, writes William Pomeranz.

Other Questions. - Tax Yield.
Tuesday, 23 May 2000
Dáil Eireann Debate
36. Mr. D. Carey asked the Minister for Finance the reason his estimate of the year on year increase in tax receipts was 8.6% on budget day while the actual return for the first quarter shows an increase of 16.7%; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14212/00]
Mr. McCreevy: The year on year increase in taxes for 2000 over 1999 projected on budget day, 1 December 1999, was 9.6%. This was based on a projected outturn for tax receipts of £18,384 million in 1999. The actual 1999 outturn was £18,559 million which had the effect of reducing the 2000 budget day tax forecast increase from 9.6% to 8.6%.
The Exchequer returns showed that tax receipts by end March were 16.7% higher than in [985] the same period last year. By end April the increase in tax receipts over the same period last year had fallen to 14.7%. Deputies will be aware that these figures do not reflect the impact of the personal tax package which took effect from 6 April. That will begin to be reflected in the receipts from May onwards, and will tend to further reduce the rate of increase over the remainder of the year.
The rate of increase in taxes is mainly determined by the rate of economic growth in the economy. The budget day projection for tax receipts was based on a forecast of GDP growth of 7.4% in 2000 and it now seems likely that GDP growth will be even stronger than expected on budget day. The Department is currently reviewing its forecasts and its updated assessment will be published in the Economic Review and Outlook in July. At this stage, it appears likely that tax revenue for the year as a whole could exceed the budget target by around £500 million.
Mr. Deenihan: How does the Minister propose to use the tax surplus at this stage? Does he propose to use it to reduce foreign debt, for example?
Mr. McDowell: Would the Minister agree that what is wrong here is not just that the estimate is wrong but that the method is wrong, and that his Department has been aware of this for some time but yet does not seem to have changed the method? Some time ago I had a lengthy conversation with an official in his Department who spoke to me with great expertise about the issue. I understood the Department is reconsidering how it does this work, but yet it does not seem to have made a decision on the matter.
Mr. McCreevy: Any surplus over and above what I anticipated on budget day will be used to further reduce the national debt. Perhaps some extra moneys could be put aside for the pension fund proposal. Any surplus will be used for either of those purposes.
Deputy McDowell raised a good point, one which was raised not only by him and others but inside the Government. Two years ago we analysed this matter and revised the method of doing this. I will get my Department to send the Deputy a copy of our proposals. There was a new methodology used in the past two budgets. The first time we used this methodology, most commentators said after the budget that whatever about previous forecasts, this was really at the outer limit and it might be a little dangerous because it might have been understated.
There is an interesting international phenomenon about this. In times of economic upsurge every country we examined understated the tax revenues and, peculiarly enough, in times of economic downturn they all overstated the forecast. Therefore, this is not a phenomenon which is unique to Ireland.
We have revised the methodology and I can [986] give the Deputy the document regarding the methodology involved. The first year we did it there was considerable angst that we might be going a little too far.
If one thinks that is a little unusual in Ireland, in the UK the forecast for overall tax revenue on budget day in 1999 was £322 billion for the 1999-2000 tax year. A few months before the end of the year they were proposing an overall exchequer deficit – they do not use those phrases there, but the effect is the same. The overall surplus for the year turned out to be £12 billion. In case people might think that the situation is a little unusual here, we have never been that far out compared to the UK. I point that out for the benefit not only of the Opposition but perhaps of some of my colleagues also.

Children Walking In The Rain - Poem by Richard Lackman
When I scurry about on a rainy day
Acting annoyed at the rain
I sometimes remember a time far away
When I viewed raindrops with no disdain
I think of a time when I was quite young
And my brother and I would go out
With ball cap and sandals and raincoat that hung
Down to our feet all about
We delighted in plowing through puddle and pond
Formed by a strong passing storm
We discovered indeed we were equally fond
Of the air which seemed fragrant and warm
After prancing about back to mom we would go
All excited from our recent quest
Then quick to the tub with her two boys in tow
To get clean at our mother's behest
So today as I stand in my suit and dress shoes
Looking out as the raindrops are falling
I remember those days when I never withdrew
From the raindrops when they came a calling

Very good one Dick - and yes, I agree, when we were young the weather didn`t seem to be such a big issue, but now I find the rain to be an annoyance (and we get plenty of it here in GB! !) . I suppose we should appreciate it more and how vital it is for our existence, especially when there are countries where they suffer from a lack of it and don`t have clean water to drink.

The fight between Luan Krasniqi and NABF Champion Johnathon Banks will not be rescheduled at the moment. Originally, the bout was supposed to happen on February 26, at the Arena Ludwigsburg but had to be cancelled due to a virus infection Krasniqi caught in the final days of his training camp. The tickets for the fight night were already sold out.

krasniqi was a good fighter & has a large following in germany so this is a nice payday gone out the door for banks.i hope he ends up fighting someone better but i see the opportunity to fight krasniqi in a soldout venue in germany is a tough one to pass up.banks has alot to prove in the HW division.adamek & haye moved up & have had success & made some money while banks has looked lackluster as a heavyweight.he holds the NABF so he will have to fight one of his top challengers....tye fields & neven pajkic are top 5 ranked in the NABF rankings.like to see either of them(because im canadian)but any decent heavyweight would be nice....banks needs to step up.he's got wins over zeller,travis walker,saul montana & a draw with jason gavern...not exactly fighting the elite but he owns the NABF title which puts him in line for a possible title shot or eliminator.

If so you need to know that there will be a U.K. mobile biometrics clinic visiting Memorial University in St. John's on November 20th and 21st , 2014. To determine if you need to complete the biometric process, please visit the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) website, www.ukvisas.gov.uk.
Visa applicants are advised to read all sections related to their particular visa type thoroughly to ensure they include all required supporting documentation in their application package.
It is a clinic where you will have digital fingerprints and photographs taken as a part of the visa process for the UK.
In November 2008, the U.K. Border Agency underwent a complete restructuring of their immigration system at which time they implemented biometrics as a part of their visa application process. The only physical visa application centres in Canada to have this process completed are Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver (or a mobile clinic that visits Halifax). Your visa application will not be viewed until you have enrolled your biometric information. Without the mobile unit, you will have to fly to one of the previously noted locations to have the biometrics completed at your expense.
Please note that you cannot book a biometrics appointment without applying for a visa first.
You can make an appointment by visiting www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk.
The fee is $112.00 CDN plus tax for each application and must be paid online on the VFS website immediately following the appointment being booked. This fee is in addition to the visa application fee. This fee includes the outbound and return dlivery of your visa documents to/from the UK Visas and Immigration Decision Making Centre (DMC).
The clinic will be located at the Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland in downtown St. John's (115 Cavendish Square).
It is required that you bring the following to the clinic:

Queen Victoria's Empire
Queen Victoria's Empire
At the time of Queen Victoria's birth in 1819, England was an agrarian society. Within a few short decades, this small island nation would be transformed into an industrial superpower, with an empire spanning the globe. QUEEN VICTORIA'S EMPIRE is both the story of this remarkable time, and an engaging portrait of a queen who ruled over a fifth of the world's population. It is the story of influential figures that would shape a distinctively British imperialism; Gladstone, Disraeli, Livingstone, Rhodes and Prince Albert, Victoria's husband. Whether driven by profit, passion or noble deeds, these figures would fuel expansion unequaled in history, forever changing Britain and the lands it controlled. Personal accounts, lush reenactments and evocative cinematography from former outposts of the Enpire, inlcuding Africa and India, recount the dramatic clash of personalities and cultures that would drive Victoria's remarkable 64-year reign.

I have started a new job at the awesome Voalte. As a quick overview we do hospital voice, alarm and text (thus the VoAlTe) using ejabberd, freeswitch,
nitrogen, etc, on the backend and iphone on the frontend. It is a slick solution to the communication problem that faces hospital staff.
I have *just* started this week. I am getting acquainted with everything and trying to absorb the code and culture as best I can. I will try to refrain from speaking directly about it for a while, since I am new. Perhaps later I will talk about my experiences in more detail.
I have volunteered to research and implement a configuration management solution. The goal is to provide precise control over deploying and configuring thousands of computers on disparate networks. This is quite a challenge and it is somewhat difficult to find a tool that meets all of our requirements.
I have looked extensively at puppet, chef, spacewalk and cfengine. They all have great features. However, as with anything there are trade offs.
I will say that it is great to have new and interesting challenges so quickly.

Letter to Cesar Chavez from DiGiorgio Corp
DiGiorgio Corporation
April 6, 1966
Mr. Cesar Chavez General Director of Farm Workers Assn
102 Albany Street
Delano, California
Dear Mr. Chavez:
We are addressing this letter to you as the leader of one of the unions claiming to represent agricultural workers in the Delano area. The recommendations made here are also being sent to the AWOC and the Tulare kern IFWU.
For several months we have been actively developing possible solutions to the mutually unsatisfactory economic and social unrest which has persisted in the Delano area. The position affirmed in our published paper of January 12, 1966 gave evidence of our sincerity where the welfare of our workers is concerned. My own testimony in court in Fresno, California, this past March 22nd included statements to the effect that farm workers should be included in any new national minimum wage law and that they are entitled to bargain collectively.
Today, while drafting these proposals for you, we learned that the NFWA and Schenley Industries had signed a "union recognition pact." From what we know of the agreement, it appears to be a deal between attorneys representing Schenley and the AFL-CIO, and takes little cognizance of the expressed wishes of the agricultural workers whose destinies are at stake. I think that you will find that our recommendations which follow are consistent with the traditional democratic processes of the American labor movement.
DiGiorgio Corporation urges that the California State Conciliation Service conduct immediate secret-ballot elections on its DiGiorgio Farms, Sierra Vista Ranch, and at its Dantoni and New England Orchards to determine if employees wish to be represented for the purposes of collective bargaining by any labor union.
Because DiGiorgio wishes these elections to be meaningful and to accurately express the true choice of our agricultural workers, we offer guidelines to the elective and post-election processes. In so doing, DiGiorgio has tried to meet the situation realistically, and to provide an equitable solution to a difficult problem. Although the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947 does not reach agricultural workers or agricultural employers,
DiGiorgio thinks it should be amended to do so, and has taken the processes contemplated by that Act as the guidelines for these proposals.
DiGiorgio, then, offers to agree with you as follows:
1. If any labor organization wins any of the elections held, it will recognize that union as the representative of its employees at the facility involved.
2. It will immediately commence collective bargaining in the utmost good faith to reach a collective bargaining agreement and will reduce any agreement so reached to writing and will execute it.
3. If, after 30 days of collective bargaining, no agreement is reached, the unresolved issues will be submitted to an impartial board of arbitration, such board to e composed of three persons, one selected by the union, one selected by DiGiorgio, and the third appointed by the Presiding Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Southern Division.
4. The decision of such an arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the union and upon DiGiorgio according to California law;
5. Any union appearing on the ballot will be allowed to conduct its electioneering campaign, if it wishes to do so, upon DiGiorgio premises during non-working hours; and
6. Eligibility of voters will be determined by rules applicable to elections conducted by the National Labor Relations Board.
DiGiorgio would expect you to agree that:
1. Unions choosing not to appear upon the ballot would make no further claim, directly or indirectly, to represent DiGiorgio employees at the facilities involved for one full year following the election, nor would such unions picket DiGiorgio properties or properties of its subsidiaries, or cause them to be picketed; such unions would not organize or support any boycott of DiGiorgio products or products of DiGiorgio subsidiaries;
2. No union appearing on the ballot would, if defeated in the election, within one year thereafter picket DiGiorgio properties, or the properties of its subsidiaries, or recognize any such picket lines set up or supported by any union on the ballot or by any union choosing not to be on the ballot, nor would any such union organize any boycott of DiGiorgio products or products of its subsidiaries, or support any such boycott by any union on the ballot or any union not choosing to appear on the ballot;
3. There would be no strike or work stoppage during negotiations, or during or after arbitration as described above; and
4. Any agreement reached by collective bargaining or through arbitration, as set out above, would contain provisions forbidding strike, boycott, slowdown or lockout during harvest seasons; if future impasses occur during negotiations they will be resolved by the arbitration board as described above, rather than by economic pressure.
In addition to the foregoing, and unless federal law is changed in the meantime to permit elections under the Labor Movement Relations Act or similar legislation, DiGiorgio would agree that similar elections could be held in the aforementioned locations at any time after one year following the 1966 elections, under the agreements attendant upon the 1966 elections.
DiGiorgio sincerely hopes that all labor organizations interested in representing agricultural workers will join with us in this agreement.
May we hear from you?
R. Di Giorgio

aeSolutions has delivered automation solutions with Programmable Logic Controllers for nearly two decades.
In the 1970's, a PLC was a programmable emulator of relay ladder logic. Today, a PLC is a scaled down controller, often stand alone, but with much of the power and some of the functions of controllers used in DCS process automation. Multiple PLC's are often networked somewhat like a DCS with fewer features.
aeSolutions can provide the right PLC automation system when a client needs highly reliable and very fast real time response to events in a manufacturing cell or an electromechanical panel. Ruggedized operator displays and touch screens allow local HMI control. The PLC can also be interfaced to a supervising DCS.

Racking up the frequent flyer miles, Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish showed up at LAX International Airport on Tuesday evening (May 27).
The "Blue Crush" cutie held hands with her "Big Sur" director husband as they scurried past photographers and headed for their car.
On the outside, the 2014 Met Gala looked like a prim and proper shindig marked by formal finery and polite interaction, but many of our favorite celebrities gave an inside look at the shenanigans via Instagram and Twitter.
Gearing up for another year of excellence from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Bosworth and Kate Bosworth were in the house for the 2014 Met Gala tonight (May
Tending to some work duties, Kate Bosworth stepped out in a ravishing red dress in New York City earlier this week (May 1).
The "Blue Crush" babe chatted with her assistant while rocking the stunning dress and toting along a gold handbag as she ran a few errands in the Big Apple.
Looking forward to a fun-filled evening and plenty of amazing shoes, some of Hollywood's hottest starlets converged for the launch of CHOO.08 in Beverly Hills last night (April 15).
With her man by her side for the crowded event, Kate Bosworth attended the 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Saturday (April 12).
The "Superman Returns" star looked cute with her hair pulled up in a black and white sleeveless dress and platform black sandals as she smooched her hubby, director Michael Polish.
Whip out your body paint and flower crowns because the Coachella Music and Arts Festival is going down in Indio, California starting today (April 11)!
The annual shindig is a fan-favorite and those who are lucky enough to snag a spot on the grassy musical heaven get the chance to enjoy amazing musicians, try new foods and check out eye-catching art. And let's not forget another key factor - the fashion!
Making an appearance at a gem-studded event, celebrities attended the Tiffany Debut of the 2014 Blue Book collection at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
Pretty in pink for the event, Kate Bosworth swaggered inside with her hubby, Michael Polish, sporting bright red lips and smiling alongside her fellow celebs.

ViewSonic already has some projectors on sale but that doesn't mean it won't make more, so it did just that, ending up with a trio of business-ready PJD6 Series DLP models.
The newcomers go by the names of PJD6253, PJD6223 and PJD6553w.
Obviously, few people are actually going to bother memorizing those names, but that might just get their specs all the more attention.
Then again, any projector that can brag about having what it takes to save up to 70% more power than other products of this type is going to attract some attention.
Granted, even that benefit (brought about by Smart ECO dynamic light adjusting technology) and a lamp life of 6,000 hours won't sell a projector on their own.
Fortunately, ViewSonic did disclose what each of the trio could do (see the product pages linked above for full info).
The PJD6253, priced at $559 (405.45 Euro) and PJD6223 ($709 / 514 Euro) have resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels, while the PJD6553w ($749 / 543 Euro) has WGXA support (1,280 x 800 pixels).
It equipped them all with an advanced, real-time alert system (lamp life, power and unit presence updates) and the Creestron RoomView network management software, which lets up to 250 projectors be managed as a single whole.
"Customized for teachers, professional trainers and consultants, the new PJD6 DLP projector Series offers many exclusive and valuable functions. This includes real-time monitoring and remote management for up to 250 networked projectors, along with versatile connectivity options," said Roger Chien, projector product manager for ViewSonic.
"The technology leveraged was specifically designed to deliver a bright and vivid image, making these advanced DLP projectors a cost-effective solution for multimedia enjoyment and effective presentation execution. We are also very pleased to be a partner of AMX InConcert Program. It demonstrates ViewSonic's commitment to the education and enterprise markets as going forward, all our new projectors will be certified with AMX."

Considerably more dynamic than most of the other Greek-based romantic literary names of the seventeenth century, Chloe is a pretty springtime name symbolizing new growth, though by no means as fresh as it once was. It had been shooting up the charts for several years, now sitting at Number 18, and has been also mega-popular throughout Great Britain, Australia, and Canada. The creative spelling Khloe has been moving up as well, thanks solely to the Kardashian klan.
While Chloe has not been used for any recent celebrity babies, it is the name of the now-grown daughters of Olivia Newton-John and of Candice Bergen and the late French film director Louis Malle. Actress and style leader Chloe Sevigny is another high-profile bearer, as is rising young star Chloe Grace Moretz.
Chloe appeared in Greek mythology as an alternative name for the goddess of agriculture and fertility, Demeter, and in the Greek pastoral romance Daphnis and Chloe. It is also mentioned in the New Testament, appears in Uncle Tom's Cabin, and is the real name of Nobel prize-winning writer Toni Morrison.

McGoff shifts to new title, role
By : Staff report
In a competitive and challenging environment, the University must have a well-coordinated effort to tie resources to strategic initiatives and closely monitor campus progress toward its major objectives, said President Lois B. DeFleur.
To accomplish these goals, DeFleur has announced a change in title and responsibilities for Michael McGoff, vice provost for planning and budget. McGoff will become vice provost for strategic and fiscal planning, reporting to the provost with a dotted line to the president.
In his new duties, McGoff will oversee the Office of Institutional Research as well as be responsible for developing short- and long-range budgets, developing and tracking indices of progress toward strategic objectives, and space planning.
DeFleur said McGoff will work closely and collaboratively with the dean of the Graduate School, the vice provost for enrollment management and the associate vice president for administration, as well as an operations group - yet to be formed - composed of representatives from each of the vice presidential divisions.

Facilitating Web Conferencing, Interaction, and Collaboration using Blackboard Collaborate
Instructional Guide for University Faculty and Teaching Assistants Now Available in Mobile and eBook Formats
August 2012 Welcoming Programs were a Great Success!
Faculty/Staff Program Schedule
Quick Tips for Effective Instruction
Having a good relationship with your students can help students succeed academically and increase their overall satisfaction with the university experience. However, one such relationship, the consensual romantic relationship, often fails and can result in severe consequences for both the faculty member and the student.
Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center, with the help of funding provided by a Venture Grant from the Northern Illinois University Foundation, will soon introduce self-paced training on online teaching at NIU. This project, known as "Preparing to Teach Online" (PTO), will result in a set of interactive learning modules focused on online teaching that participants can use to learn at their own pace and schedule.
During the summer of 2012, NIU's Information Technology Services launched an initiative to Green Up! NIU. This includes an effort to become increasingly paperless. The Vision 2020 goal of 100% Wi-Fi coverage in student and academic spaces supports going paperless, as does the new student printing quota. There are several ways that faculty can support the Green Up! Initiative and help students avoid unnecessary printing.
With more and more instruction taking place online, faculty are increasingly seeking online tools and strategies that can promote communication, interaction, and live collaboration from faculty-to-student, student-to-student, and student-to-content. Web conferencing is an online tool that allows multiple users to view content, exchange ideas, and work collaboratively.
The NIU Instructional Guide for University Faculty and Teaching Assistants is a brief compilation of teaching-related information from several sources, including instructional guidebooks from other institutions, journals, and contributions from master teachers and academic support units at Northern Illinois University. The guide is meant to be a quick reference rather than a comprehensive source on teaching-related information. Topics include teaching preparation, effective instruction, assessment, classroom management, and more.
We are happy to report to the NIU community that the Faculty Development and Instructional Design Center's fall 2012 welcoming programs were all well-attended and well-received! We would like to thank all co-sponsors, presenters, and participants of our programs who helped make each program successful.

Contemporary Condo Kitchen
Personality and uniqueness as well as an interplay of counterpoint and deviations from conventional design dictates, characterize the design philosophy of the SieMatic S2. Also, some of the functional elements of the SieMatic S1 are included in the SieMatic S2, such as the multi-media elements, the vertical recessed grip and the drawer system. Mr. Siekmann explains the design concept as "for the SieMatic S2 we have adopted the emotions that have been attributed to the SieMatic S1 ". The linear, cubical design continues the tradition that began in 1960 with the minimalistic, handleless SieMatic 6006. The SieMatic S2 combines that horizontal emphasis with the vertical elements that are the dominant characteristics of the SieMatic S1. New colors and finishes, as well as combinations of premium materials such as lacquer, glass, stone, and wood accessorize the SieMatic S2 kitchens as do the strong tone-in-tone design accents. A good example of the versatility of the SieMatic S2 is the newly developed extendable lower cabinet shelving system.
The successful composition of different materials and varying dimensions is shown in an exemplary way by the lotus white SieMatic S2 LM on display in the Forum in Lohne: The combination of matt lacquer, shining white glass, light limestone, and wood underscores the elegantly minimalistic design. The new limestone countertop in maljat cream has a warm and comfortable look. The tall cabinet with an integrated TV screen that can be pulled forward and aligned individually and the multi-media system take up typical functional elements of the SieMatic S1. Handleless paneled wall cabinets with their tinted glass fronts and a depth of 25 centimeters offer additional storage room, and give the kitchen a new, completely individual look and a second design level.
We understand the special challenges in remodeling kitchens and bathrooms in condo buildings. That's why we've created a solution that not only saves you time and aggravation, but also saves you money.

She waits patiently for no one.
She sits there, pain overflowing her already broken heart. So because your words fill me with hope, shall mine fill you with closure.
Let my voice blindly lead you through your heartache so that the pain you feel will not go unabated.
I will be your tourniquet...
...To cover yourself with when the world turns it's back on you. Hurting inside you bleed monochrome. However much you may try to hide it, I see it.
The moon rises and the tears fall...No more false pretenses.

I see myself as an anthropologist-in-training with a background in architecture. My principal research question is: "How do we know what we know about a city?" How do we understand a city with a complex history of occupation and diverse politics of representation? For example, how do we understand Shanghai, China's largest city, attempts to represent itself to the world by establishing the traditional "global hierarchy of value," wherein a city is only considered "global" if it can exhibit an effective blend of modernity and heritage?
Educational Background
PhD Candidate in Anthropology, Harvard University, 2010 - Present; Harvard-Yenching Institute Doctoral Scholarship& Harvard Graduate Fellowship
MPhil in Modern Chinese Studies, Oxford University, 2010; Harvard-Yenching Institute Doctoral Scholarship & Oxford University's China Research Award
SMArchS in History, Theory, Criticism of Art and Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007; J.William Fulbright Scholarship & C.V.Starr Foundation of the Asian Cultural Council Fellowship (affiliate of the Rockefeller's Brothers Fund)
Urban Design Certificate, Departments of Architecture, and Urban Studies and Planning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007; W. Danfort Compton Memorial Fellowship, School of Architecture and Planning, MIT
Statament of Research Ambition
Poised between the disciplines of architectural history and anthropology, my scholarship work stands as a fine example of how urban planning can set the stage for a fuller understanding of both the architectural and social present of a city. The placement of urban planning in a greater socio-political web gives context to our everyday built environment, raising an important awareness regarding the tactile and layered nature of the urban fabric. An emphasis on the symbolic aspects of urbanism calls to anthropology as it analyzes the tension, dynamic, and negotiation between the people living there and the symbolic image that the developers could foster whether that is hegemonic powers or the authority.
Methodologically, I aim at opening up an interdisciplinary way of understanding planning history. By complementing intensive archival study with comprehensive use of literature from multiple fields of analysis as well as through historical ethnographies of urban life, I want to show how planning history can benefit from fieldwork and the researcher's immersion with the field site.
The contribution of my doctoral research will lie in its skillful negotiation of politically charged terrain to make sense of the process of urbanization in China in a broader sense through the understanding of the planning process both in a larger realm of planning cultures and a more focused case study of local communities in Shanghai. Its discussion of the theoretical frameworks of urbanization will takes into account various disciplines, including history, geography, architecture, sociology, and anthropology, shedding new light on the conflicts and tensions over urban space brought about by the sort of transformations that have been seen in Shanghai in recent years.

XML-RPC Client is a Cocoa-based developer tool for Mac OS X that allows you to access and debug XML-RPC web services from the comfort of your desktop.
Using XML-RPC Client is insanely easy.
Upon completing the function call you will see three groups of information in the main tabbed display:
To specify params, you can use JavaScript syntax. For example, say you had a function that accepted a single string argument. You would write the following in the "Params" text area:
"my arg"
'my arg'
If you had a function that accepts two arguments of type integer and boolean:
42, true
If you had a function that accepts a single array argument containing integers:
[1, 2, 3]
A function that accepts a single struct argument:
{name: 'Todd', age: 27, jobs:['developer', 'exotic dancer']}
Note that unlike Python, the struct keys are not quoted.
New in version 1.6:
New in version 1.5:
New in version 1.4:
[] or
new Array()) would be converted to an XML-RPC struct. It is now correctly reported as an empty XML-RPC array data type.
So how do you specify parameters with these data types? Simple.
For the dateTime.iso8601 data type, you use the simple JavaScript
Date class in the params text area. For example, if you wanted to call an XML-RPC function with a single param of type dateTime.iso8601 with a value of today's date, you would type the following in the params text area:
new Date()
This would result in something like the following raw XML param:
For October 26, 1977, you could type any of the following (depending on your locale settings):
new Date("10/26/77") // you might have to reverse the month/day if your default locale is not US
new Date("1977/10/26")
new Date("October 26, 1977")
Resulting raw XML:
This is standard JavaScript syntax for dates. If you have any questions about the syntax, it's probably best to just check a JavaScript reference book such as my personal favorite: JavaScript: The Definitive Guide.
Support for the XML-RPC base64 data type is also implemented! As I mentioned this is really cool...
Say you want to send a base64 param with the string value of
"yo dude". You need this to be encoded into base64 as part of the process:
new Base64Encode("yo dude")
Note that the JavaScript data type used is
Base64Encode. This data type not only creates a base64 param out of your string value, it also encodes your string value in the process.
Here's the resulting XML with the string value encoded that will be sent across the pipes:
So say you have already attained the encoded value for this string (or an image or whatever). You just want that literal value to show up inside the base64 element in the XML request... you don't want the string value re-encoded again. In that case you use the plain old
Base64 custom class in your param string:
new Base64("eW8gZHVkZQ==")
You will once again see this in the raw XML request:
New in version 1.3:
<fault> element using XPath. In 1.3, I'm now just using Apple's NSXML SAX-like event parser to parse the first two elements of the response XML looking for one named
<fault>. This is significantly more efficient for large response documents that don't contain faults.
New in version 1.2 -- configure success and failure sounds through the Preferences pane.
New in Version 1.1 -- increased application stability, UI response times, and error reporting for param parse errors when you've entered invalid syntax into the params text area.
XML-RPC Client requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or later.
XML-RPC Client is developed by Todd Ditchendorf. Have feedback? Email me.
Special thanks for help with this app go to two people:
eval the XML-RPC param string -- allowing arbitrarily complex parameter passing with little fuss.
