Caterpillars force down plane at Brisbane Airport
- From: NewsCore
- March 22, 2011
- Caterpillars find way into plane's onboard equipment
- Pilot forced to make emergency landing at Brisbane
- Plane lands safely with no passenger injuries
IT'S not quite on the level of action movie Snakes on a Plane but green caterpillars have been blamed for forcing down an aircraft at Brisbane Airport.
An aviation report lodged with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) government investigation body shows the 20-seater Dornier-Werke plane experienced problems with onboard equipment after taking off from Brisbane Airport in Queensland on January 27, the Courier-Mail reported.
The plane was about 46km from the airport and landed there safely without injury to anyone on board.
An engineering inspection found several green caterpillars in the pressure-sensitive instruments.
An ATSB spokesman said the incident would not be further investigated for financial reasons.

Shatner To Serve As Grand Marshal
By StarTrek.com Staff - June 07, 2014
William Shatner will serve as grand marshal of the Calgary Stampede Parade, kicking off the Calgary Stampede, which will run from July 4 to 13. Shatner, Star Trek legend, proud Canadian and an avid horseman, will be joined by Calgary-based speed skaters Gilmore Junio and Denny Morrison as honorary marshals.
The Calgary Stampede is a not-for-profit community organization that, according to its mission statement, preserves and promotes western heritage and values. The Stampede contributes to the quality of life by promoting volunteerism, presenting a year-round slate of events, investing in youth and agricultural programs, and developing a unique western experience for the world to enjoy.
"Shatner's Hollywood credentials are just part of the reason we thought he would be a great choice as our 2014 Parade Marshal," Bob Thompson, president and chairman of the board, Calgary Stampede, said in a statement. "He has an unparalleled passion for horses, which we thought would be a great fit for us. I can't wait to kick off the Calgary Stampede with him in the year of the horse."
"I am looking forward to leading the Calgary Stampede Parade," Shatner said in a separate statement. "I've been to Calgary before, but I have never been to the Calgary Stampede – leading the Parade will be quite a way to experience my first time."

Was out on it all day 'til teatime - then it started snowing.

Domestic Violence in Men's and Women's Magazines: Women Are Guilty of Choosing the Wrong Men, Men Are Not Guilty of Hitting Women
Document Type
Publication Date
Source Publication
Women's Studies in Communication
Men's and women's magazine discourse on domestic violence characterizes women as guilty of choosing the wrong men but does not hold men responsible for hitting women. Using qualitative narrative analysis on 10 leading titles over 10 years, I find an ongoing tolerance for and celebration of domestic violence in men's magazines and an enduring expectation in women's that women bear responsibility for both genders. No magazines discuss patriarchal cultural structures that enable violence against women.

An urban diagnosis report identifying seven ways in which to revitalize Pointe Claire Village was released and revealed Monday evening to more than 100 residents at Saint-Joachim Church.
© Photo Keith McAuliffe
Viva Vida Art owner Nedia El Khouri is hoping the Pointe Claire Village Association assumes a more strengthened decision-making role in the city's efforts to revitalize the 300-year-old destination.
Improving village visibility and traffic mobility for cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists, protection and development of heritage sites such as the Convent of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame, the windmill, and Antoine-Pilon House, and consolidating the commercial and residential hubs with the addition of restaurants and municipal services and facilities are just some of the recommendations made by the report's author, Convercite.
The 20-page report is the end result of a "close collaboration between residents, leaders of various interest groups in the Village, municipal services representatives and urban planning experts" said Pointe Claire Mayor Morris Trudeau.
As part of the first phase of the Village Vision project, which seeks to develop a plan of revitalization for the century-old destination, the report will play a key role in preparing Pointe Claire's impending Special Planning Program (SPP) for the area.
The Pointe Claire Village urban diagnosis report made use of an information session and an idea exchange forum held last June and November.
Other recommendations include the establishment of a relationship between the city and village merchants and residents, as well as the integration of Lake St. Louis peninsula, Alexandre-Bourgeau Park to the village.
According to the report, the lack of visual and functional connections between the lake, establishments on the peninsula, Alexandre-Bourgeau Park and the rest of the Village "are problems that can be resolved with physical interventions and programming of equipment and activities in the park and on the lake."
Meanwhile the Pointe Claire Village Association (PCVA) welcomed the report, and is optimistic about succeeding action on the part of city council.
"We're optimistic about the report. The process was fair," said PCVA president Nedia El Khouri, owner of Viva Vida Art Gallery since 2009.
And with merchants' struggles, in large part, corresponding to seasonal weather, she said, the report couldn't have come at a better time. The previous two winters, especially, have brought hard times on established businesses and have prevented vacant lots from being occupied.
The village has a high commercial vacancy rate of 13 per cent, "probably due to obsolescence, lack of universal accessibility and the small market for such premises," according to the report.
To make matters worse, Convercite found that vacant lots and buildings, lifeless facades and parking spaces continue to make the village a less attractive commercial zone.
Also, a strong and vocal merchants' association, with a concrete plan to help the revitalization effort, is lacking, according to the report.
The PCVA is a mere two years old, yet still lacks online visibility via a website – a tool deemed crucial to advance the goals of village merchants. The PCVA is in the process of establishing an online presence in an effort, said El Khouri, which will hopefully render the association more vocal in terms of decision-making for the future of the Pointe Claire Village.
Here's a look at some of the strengths and weaknesses of the village that, according to the Convercite report, needs either enhancing or correcting.
Village strengths
-A direct connection from Highway 20 to Cartier Avenue.
-Vacant or underused buildings that could be considered for new housing units and reinforcing commercial hubs.
-Public spaces on the waterfront that make the Village a place to access the lake and a very attractive location
-A connection to the Green Route bikepath.
-Relatively good public transit service, including fairly frequent service to downtown Montreal.
A large supply of parking spaces.
Village weaknesses
-A lack of visibility from Highway 20, as well as inefficient municipal signage to landmarks and parking.
-Obstacles to establishing new restaurants and accommodations that could boost customer traffic and bring life to the village.
-The buffer zone between commercial parking areas and people's yards, which does not always ensure residents' privacy.
-Underdevelopment of Cartier Avenue as a link between the two business hubs in the village, as a main north-south link for all means of transportation, and as the main gateway to the village.
-No public access to the windmill a1nd the deteriorating condition of the national archeological property, which is the emblem of the Pointe-Claire.
-Underdevelopment of Alexandre-Bourgeau Park given its potential as a major attraction for the entire population of Pointe Claire and visitors to the village.

Genny - I did this just for the fun, and it my first work with pastillage. Reading Chefette's demo caused my fingers to itch tremendously. The only way I could soothe the itching was by working on this piece It is still standing as a show piece on the living room table.
K8memphis - thanks to you too! I must say that you also were a great inspiration for me. I saw the pictures of the flowers you prepared for the wedding cake, and off I went to make some too. Those went to the top of a Henna ceremony cake which I hope to be able to post soon.
Chefette - I used the recipe with the powdered gelatine. It's the only kind I can get here. (I live in a small country in the Middle East) As for the powedered sugar - we just have powdered sugar, no way to choose. I know it contains a certain percentage of cornflour, but I have no idea how much. I added just 6 tablespoons of water, and it came out just right. I had a pattern for the shoe, and just modeled the heel by hand, sort of sculpted it. As for the ribbons, I followed your explanation to the word: two pieces of different colored dough rolled together as thin as possible and cut into strips. Rolled them around a thick pen and left them to dry for 24 hours.
So that's it - Hopefully I will be working on more projects like this - I enjoyed this demo tremendously, it was very illuminating and I am grateful to all of you for being here and doing what you are doing.

Wendy - Regarding how well pastillage holds up in the cooler. I put several pieces of pastillage in the cooler this morning and just pulled them out (9 hours later) and they seem just fine. The pastillage was simply uncovered on a plate.
Now what I have not tested is if you have a construct of pastillage - held together by royal icing - will it be OK for several hours in the fride or will the joins weaken. Will weight bearing pieces start to buckle? THAT I cannot guarantee.
On weight bearing pieces - like a cake stand or petit fours stand I would tend to encourage people to design so that this portion could be held seperately and not go in the cooler.
If you have a large topper of pastillage I would also urge you to keep it out of the cooler - just to avoid the additional risks of going in and out and being handled by people other than you. But certainly you cannot always be there to handle stuff at the time of service so some things are just outside your control.

I'm going to play with microwaving some pastillage to see if I can come up with anything remotely resembling coral.
You and your demo
Desertm - great shoe!!

I think my first batch turned out OK. I used the powdered gelatin. I started out with 70 grams of water. After I let it sit in cold water, the gelatin was, I don't know how to describe it... it was more like a solid than a liquid. I could stand a spoon up in it and the spoon didn't fall over. So I added 3 more teaspoons of water. It was still not real fluid, almost like regular jello that had been stirred for a while, but I didn't want to add too much water so I went with it.
After I added my liquid to the dry ingredients, the mass was very thick and my mixer even stopped momentarily, straining to get through it. So I added some more water, 5 teaspoons. I was using my Kitchenaid 4.5 quart mixer.
I mixed it and it seemed a little sticky, kind of in between chefette's two photos of the sheet gelatin batch and the powdered gelatin batch.
I then messed around getting my kneading surface ready, say a few minutes. I forgot to cover the pastillage and it seemed in that time that it dried a bit... so that it was no longer sticky. I was able to knead it and it would stick just the tiniest amount to the heel of my hand. I didn't even need to use 10x to keep it from sticking to my mat. It seemed just about right.
I went back and measured to see how much 70 grams of water plus 8 teaspoons was and it ended up being 102 grams.
Hopefully, I'll have some time this evening to experiment with the coral.
OK, then chefette's response to this.....
Chefette: Did you melt the gelatine over heat with the vinegar and corn syrup?
You should do that. Always melt your gelatine after blooming - blooming does not equate to melting
Yes the pastillage is really thick and will pretty much bring the mixer to a halt - that is a good time to either have faith in the motor or to scrape it all out on the counter and start kneading. I find that it behaves better sometimes - worse others - I typically add a little water and really find that getting my fingers wet and then continuing to knead does really well at hydrating the pastillage.
And - the not sticking is exactly how it should go.
I am psyched to hear about your results.
On my undersea cake last summer - I bought a copy of Finding NEMO at the bookstore for the fun coral and undersea plants and replicated a bunch of them. Fun lopey things, Sort of sqare or triangular tubey horn things, and long wavy pieces. I thought those were more ocean looking and prettier than the waved pastillage.
Has your dehydrating commenced?
And finally, my comments and questions to the above:
Yes, I melted the gelatin along with the corn syrup and vinegar. That went just fine.
Dehydrating.... I assume you mean that the pastillage dries very quickly? I split the batch into two, wrapped each in plastic wrap, wrapped each of those in a damp washcloth and finally stuck them in an air-tight Ziploc bag.
Good idea on using Finding Nemo for inspiration. There really are some beautiful "underwater shots" in that movie.
I'm going to go play with my pastillage now... yep, an exciting Saturday night of sugar fun.

What have you done? how has it worked out? Any questions raised?
Posted 13 July 2005 - 07:17 PM
So... I was wondering if any of the people following this thread - like Desertm - had proceeded with some pastillage work of their own.
What have you done? how has it worked out? Any questions raised?
I have been following this thread and a timely lesson it was too. I was to do a graduation cake for this girl who wanted a theatre theme. Well I have been on a chocolatiering kick lately and thought I'd use comedy/tragedy mask molds. Ordered from an on-line auction, seller screws up and leaves me with NO BLOODY MOLDS. damn ... now what?!
Then along comes this BEAUTIFUL thread and I just happened to have a plaster comedy mask in my house that I could use as a form. The cake (whose picture I sincerely hope shows up) is the result. I was pleased with the result and so was the student.
As a matter of fact, the filling is the Fine Cooking lemon curd recipe that I discovered in another egullet thread. Man I love this place!
Thanks again.

This is my first post in a long, long time. I have been following this amazing demo for the past few days. I have recently become unemployed after moving back to Toronto, so I have more time on my hands now to browse around egullet. I am a young, aspiring pastry chef that graduated from the Cordon Bleu in Ottawa about 4 years ago and until recently had been working at a pastry shop in Ottawa. I can't tell you how grateful I am for these incredibly inspiring demo's here in the pastry section. After reading through chefette's amazing pastillage demo I felt so inspired that i had to make something. I decided to do an art deco style clock. I didn't colour it or anything, but I think it turned out quite well for my first pastillage piece and it was an amazing learning experience. The problem is I can't seem to get enough pastillage and I'm already drawing up plans for another project. Since I am really into architecture I am thinking about doing some sort of building out of pastillage. I'm going to go through my pictures from a recent 2-week trip to Europe and see if anything strikes me as do-able.
Here are the pictures:

Case Study | January 27, 2014
Echologics: 27" Cast Iron Joint Leak Discovered In Bristol, EnglandSource: Mueller Water Products
This leak was discovered using LeakFinderRT with surface mounted sensors. The total sensor-to-sensor spacing was 450 m (1,480 ft).
The leak was discovered by correlation in July of 2008. Shortly after its discovery the location was excavated to investigate and repair. Upon exposing the pipe it was realized that the leak was emanating from a joint on a 6" Tee. The water was not reaching the surface because it was draining into a sewer main.
It was estimated that the rate of water loss was 100 I/min. It is unknown how long the leak existed but it was long enough to cause erosive damage to the top of the sewer main.

I'm so thankful for friends. I'm thankful for being surrounded by like-minded people. People who live their lives with passion, creativity, and fun. Sasa and I (and the little one) have never had such a busy social life, full of people we love and nurturing friendships. We had the pleasure of dining with friends over the weekend. It was a night full of good music, creative conversation by creative people, and such delicious food!
I'm thankful for yummy and nourishing food. Sasa made a chicken pot pie after I told him it was my favorite thing to eat as a kid. I never thought a homemade pie could beat the comforting taste of Mrs. Budd's chicken pies that I grew up loving, but I should have known...Sasa always makes things better than I remember them ever being. It was a keeper recipe for sure and he's going to share it all with you soon!
I'm so very thankful for the little one, her joy in life, her amazing energy, and her love of anything and everything that involves being social! She was a cat all night. She scared my friend's cat away with her enthusiastic greeting, but that didn't matter...she just became the cat instead. She even dedicated a few Rolling Stones' songs as "tail chasing songs." She is a delight, and she sure does love life! Such a pleasure to witness!
What are you thankful for today? I always love reading what you share!

When it comes to health care, many perceive doctors as having the final word when it comes to managing their patients' care. Although doctors and other health professionals play a major role, each individual is ultimately responsible for getting the care they need.
First, patients should know or have a copy of their health history including prior hospitalizations and a list of current and past medical problems. Patients should think of their health as a story that needs to be told. In order to completely and accurately understand the story, doctors need every chapter, including whether current symptoms are new, or a continuation of prior symptoms. This is especially important if several doctors are currently being seen or if a patient is meeting a new one.
Keep in mind most health history is captured in records. Take the most current copies of test results, x-rays, labs or any other care that has been provided. While many medical offices have moved to file sharing or electronic file transfers, in some instances, patients may have to make copies and bring the files to the doctor themselves.
Next, be sure to have a list of all current medication - prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins and herbal supplements, as well as the dosage. If necessary, just throw everything in a single bag and bring it to the appointment. This is also a good time to check for expired medication.
While compiling records and gathering medications, make a written list of the top three to five issues to be discussed with the doctor. Having a list helps patients stay on track during appointments and to addresses the most pressing concerns first. Preparing a list of issues to discuss also helps self-confidence when talking to the doctor. Last year, Health Affairs, a monthly health policy journal, published findings that "participants voiced a strong desire to engage in shared decision making about treatment options with their physicians." However, the findings reported that many patients don't speak up because they don't want to question the doctor's instructions, feel that their doctor is intimidating or because they don't want to be labeled as a difficult patient. In any case, patients should remember it's their health care. Be direct, honest and as specific as possible when recounting symptoms or expressing concerns. If that's not possible, bring along a family member or friend to the appointment so they can help ask questions, listen to the doctor's instructions or just offer support.
Lastly, it is important for patients to know and understand their TRICARE health care benefit; especially what it does and does not cover. They should know about their co-pays, cost-shares and deductibles, and where to find this information when they need it. Knowing this information helps when it's time to make decisions about choosing a provider or specialist, getting important tests, and when planning preventive care.

IC Directors' Meeting Highlights
February 27, 2008
|IC Directors
|Kerry Brink, Assistant to the Deputy Director, NIH
|IC Directors Meeting Highlights—January 24, 2008
Discussion Items
I. Adverse Event Reporting, Dr. Lana Skirboll, Director, Office of Science Policy (OSP), Dr. Amy Patterson, OSP
The NIH chairs the Federal Adverse Event Task Force (FAET), which charge is to propose specific means for promoting harmonized and streamlined federal requirements for reporting, analyzing, and communicating adverse events in clinical research. Dr. Skirboll explained while considerable effort is put into collecting safety data, finding actual safety signals is a challenge because of information overload, poor pattern detection, mismatch between tools and knowledge of disease mechanisms, and lack of standards impacting data completeness, quality and analysis. The effort to harmonize and streamline adverse event reporting is the number one priority for re-engineering the clinical research enterprise.
The FAET is comprised of several federal agencies and the goals and objectives of the FAET are as follows:
- Agencies to speak the same language;
- Reduce variability in terms and definitions;
- Align federal adverse event reporting policies;
- Develop a best practices blueprint for reporting, analysis, and application of safety information;
- Produce one core adverse event report that Principal Investigators
(PIs) can send to multiple agencies;
- Develop the Basal Adverse Event Report (BAER)
- A single set of core medical information acceptable to multiple agencies and containing information needed for adverse event and unanticipated problem reporting across all types of clinical research (behavioral, social sciences, epidemiologic, etc.).
- Develop the Basal Adverse Event Report (BAER)
Under a Memorandum of Understanding, the NIH and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are unifying approaches to adverse event reporting by developing a user-friendly electronic submission system to report an adverse event to the NIH, FDA, and other government agencies. Dr. Skirboll stressed that establishing a standardized adverse event data collection system across government as a central web-based portal will facilitate and streamline submission of pre and post-market adverse events, improve data quality, and analysis and provide 'one stop shopping' for investigators.
IC Directors agreed there are many benefits of harmonizing and streamlining adverse event reporting including reducing costs of duplicative reporting systems and potentially improving the conduct of clinical trials.
II. Update on the Biomarkers Consortium, Dr. John Niederhuber, Director, National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Dr. Niederhuber explained that the Biomarkers Consortium was established to develop promising biomarkers for research, clinical, and/or regulatory uses. The Consortium's objectives are to clinically validate the use of biomarkers for specific diseases and their treatment, inform regulatory metrics for evaluating biomarker efficacy, and promote dialogue across sectors to increase understanding of each other's biomarker priorities.
The three stages of biomarker development consist of:
- Discovery stage - explores innovative ways to measure response to be used in early disease detection and to be used in quantifying response to therapy;
- Middle stage - monitors natural course of disease to identify significant endpoints;
- Late stage - validates biomarkers as endpoint surrogates for regulatory review, research and clinical use.
Current contributing members of the Biomarkers Consortium comprise representatives from 22 for-profit companies and 29 non-profit organizations. These entities supply resources for infrastructure and project support and can also provide, as the NIH does, resources in kind, such as data and intellectual guidance. Data and materials generated by a project must be made publicly available.
All founding partners, including NIH, FDA and Industry members, must agree on each project before it goes forward. An Executive Committee, comprised of representatives from key constituent groups, serves as the chief decision-making body approving project concepts based on scientific, clinical and regulatory importance and also, stimulates ideas for new projects. Representing the NIH, Drs. Niederhuber (NCI), Insel (NIMH) and Tabak (NIDCR) are members of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee approves the Steering Committee (SC) membership. The SCs deliberate on development of ideas in specific disease areas, developing detailed project implementation plans, subgroups or project teams and enlisting ad hoc experts to provide expertise. Current SCs are focused in the areas of cancer, inflammation and immunity, metabolic disorders and neuroscience.
New activities of the Biomarkers Consortium are to identify "high profile" projects. Solicitation will be sent within the next couple of weeks. Dr. Niederhuber requested that IC Directors contribute ideas for biomarker projects, and recommend members for the Steering Committees and project teams. IC Directors endorsed the Biomarkers Consortium as an essential catalyst in promoting new ideas and effort from the scientific community and the public.

Whatcha think?
This will be available exclusively at Sephora and www.Sephora.com
7/20/11 20:17 Larie:
Oooh, pretty! Sounds good – will have to go give it a sniff
7/20/11 20:50 Isis:
I'm loiking the sound of this, my friend describes the original addict as delicious (high praise as she hates my taste in perfume)
7/21/11 7:15 Courtney:
They had me at lilac and jasmine! This sounds awesome. Have you ever tried Pacifica's lilac fragrance? The solid doesn't last and I don't like the spray (smells off for some reason) but I'm in LOVE with the rollerball. Smells just like fresh lilacs in the spring.
7/21/11 9:44 Courtney:
I know! I'm addicted to it. I probably have about 3-4 of the rollerballs lying around. I like to put it on before I go to sleep. It is so relaxing and pretty. I'll wear it in the daytime too but it's probably my favorite before bed scent. I always have to shower then put on perfume before bed, it's one of my weird beauty ticks.
7/22/11 9:32 Courtney:
That is a great idea! I'll have to try that.

Polychromatophilia refers to how blood cells looks under a microscope when the cells are stained with special dyes. It means there is more staining with certain dyes than normal. The extra staining is due to too many immature red blood cells (RBCs) called reticulocytes. These cells have a blue colored center.
Too many reticulocytes is most often seen when the bone marrow needs to make more red blood cells because of a certain condition, such as hemolytic anemia.
This condition is also called polychromasia.

Why do men stare at women asses when at the Gym?
Do men really go to the Gym to work out or just to look at women? This guy at the Gym was really annoying. I got on the elliptical and he got the elliptical behind mine. I got on the treadmill and he got the one next to mine. I went to the weight room and he used the machine right across. Very annoying! Maybe it was just coincidense.
- Asked by lokipr, A Player, Female, 29-35, Medical / Dental
No, most men (emphasis on "most") do the in-and-out.....go in, hit the weights, then get out. Some do like checking out the ladies, buy I have to admit, yall look so damn good trying to get all fit, wearing those tight, form-fitting outfits. It seems like you do it on purpose.

Community Rating: Community Star
Well it sounds like he liked he might of liked your ass, I've been going to the gym for nearly 20 years now... and not once has a guy checked out mine.
- Response by A Hippie Chick, Female, 29-35
Oh yes. I pay a monthly fee to go look like a sweat soaked gray rat in the hopes that some 20 year old estrogen muffin is going to see me and swoon.
- Response by llafsroh, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55, Boston, Science / Engineering
That guy's a creep. most guys won't gym-stalk girls with nice asses, we'll look and even stare sometimes but we aren't going to follow you around.
- Response by donuthate, A Creative, Male, 18-21, Phoenix, Who Cares?
- Response by andrewj5267, A Guy Critical, Male, 36-45, Miami, Teaching
are you seriously asking this question
- Response by beautifulloser, A Rebel, Male, 36-45, Detroit, Executive
Everyone has there own reason to go to the gym. I went to get a workout and if there happen to be a nice looking lady working then that was just a bonus. Some men go just for that reason and some to work out. If you do indeed have a nice ass, and I'm guessing you do, you should be proud of that and the fact that your exercise routine is working. I know that doesn't help when comes to the annoying guy who follows you around the gym, for that I would suggest you go to the gym staff and explain how you feel and ask for assistance.
- Response by shyguy63, An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55, Other Profession
Or maybe you have a hot ass! Guys go to work out but enjoy the view at the same time.
- Response by newnumbersguy32, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 36-45, Financial / Banking
it ain't just happening at the gym.
- Response by boggob, A Guy Critical, Male, 29-35, Political / Government
Okay well that guy was ridiculous but of course men are going to check you out; you're hot.
- Response by surrealoptimism, A Creative, Female, 29-35
Umm you probably have a nice behind lol!
- Response by bfly36, A Thinker, Female, 36-45, Other Profession
Why? Because they enjoy looking just like we women do when I see some nice abs, pecs, glutes and thighs on a man working out, it's distracting, lol! But I try not to be too obvious. Some guys are obviously looking though but nothing wrong with eye candy. It gets me motivated to work harder.
- Response by hulagirl55, A Sportif, Female, Who Cares?, Who Cares?
u just ran into a loser gym rat that goes for one reason to try hit on ladies and stalk them. exception rather than the rule as most men go to work out and do not use it as a dating pool.
- Response by mtusa007, A Rebel, Male, 56-65, Self-Employed
You go to my gym?
- Response by quikslvr, A Career Man, Male, 36-45, Washington, DC, Farming
We do that as a special motivation (so we can chase after later) to want to get in shape and work out ourselves
- Response by lomer, A Guy Critical, Male, 46-55, Halifax, Science / Engineering
May be coincidence or it is what it is - he likes you and trying to talk to you-. I read all the time on answerology people advice singles to go to the gym to meet people! so its happening yahooo.
- Response by A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Other Profession
Do they still have the thigh abduction machines. Prefer to be across from women on that one. From behind, a stepper, and lunges are nice excercises to observe. Then too dance and aerobics are great from behind too.
- Response by wolverinesegg, A Career Man, Male, 46-55, Science / Engineering
Most men actually go to the gym to workout. But hey if there is a nice view in sight most guys are gonna take that in to. In your case however, this guy sounds a little creppy. I mean he is blatantly following you around the gym which is just weird and unnecessary.

Sometimes it's obvious when your cat needs medical attention. If, for example, a passing vehicle or stray dog causes trauma to your cat, you wouldn't hesitate to rush her to the veterinarian. The same goes for a seizure, eye injury or severe allergic reaction.
Sometimes, however, the need for medical attention isn't as apparent — but it may be just as important. If your cat just doesn't seem to be herself, it could signal a more serious problem. This is why being tuned in to subtle changes in your cat's body or behavior is crucial — such knowledge could save your cat's life.
What should you watch for? Everything from missing fur to refusing the litter box could be cause for alarm — or not. We'll help you sort out the differences beginning on the next page.

The film adaption of Michael Morpurgo's book War Horse is planned for release in the UK on January 13th of next year.
It's a World War I tale set in 1914 and is the story of Joey, a young and beautiful bay-red horse with a distinctive cross on his nose sold to the army. With his officer mount he charges towards the enemy with a horse's view of the horror of the battles in France. Joey's courage touches the soldiers around him and through them he is able to find warmth. His heart still aches for his owner Albert, the farmer's son he left behind.
In line with its recently launched Disneymedia+ venture, Disney is partnering with Ancestry.com for the promotion of Stephen Spielberg's Dreamworks film production of War Horse.
The partnership is set to include TV and print advertising with the promotion scheduled to launch between Christmas and New Year.

PAWTUCKET — The School Committee held a 6 a.m. emergency meeting on Thursday to handle details involved in ceiling repairs as well as receive an update from an architectural firm on the condition of other older schools in the district.
According to School Committee Chairman Alan Tenreiro, the committee voted to officially approve a contract with Ahlborg Construction to make temporary repairs or adjustments to the ceilings at the Potter-Burns and Nathanael Greene elementary schools.
Ahlborg Construction was the low bidder out of three firms that submitted proposals to address the ceiling problems at the Potter-Burns Elementary School in the wake of last Wednesday's ceiling detachment. The original cost estimate for either shoring up the ceilings or removing the plaster-over-gypsum board layer completely throughout the nearly 100-year-old school was $179,000.
Citing the need to get the repair work started as soon as possible, Schools Supt. Deborah Cylke had given the go-ahead to the vendor contact, saying it had been vetted by city Purchasing Director David Clemente.
However, since similar ceiling issues were discovered during an inspection of the Nathanael Greene School, Ahlborg Construction has been given the go-ahead by the school board to apply the same remedy there, as well as at any other city school in need of repair. Nathanael Greene was constructed in 1918, during the same era as Potter-Burns. The contract will be applied on a room-by-room basis as needed, said Tenreiro.
At the meeting, a representative of Edward Rowse Architects gave the School Committee an update on the findings during recent inspections of the city's oldest school buildings. He said that conditions of the ceilings at Slater Junior High School, built in 1915, were found to be in good shape, as were those at Goff Junior High, constructed in 1931. The only exception at Goff was a beam in the ceiling of the gymnasium. This area has been closed temporarily until a reinforcement can be made, Tenreiro said.
The inspections found the ceiling at Shea High School, built in 1940, to be of a different construction style. The grid style ceilings are reportedly still sturdy and holding up well despite the building's age, Tenreiro said. The inspection of Tolman High School, built in 1927, was expected to be completed by Thursday night, he said.
Tenreiro said that the rest of the city's school buildings were built in later years and/or had undergone renovations so their ceilings were not thought to be of concern.
According to a 2011 educational facilities assessment, most of the city's other schools were built during the early to later 1960s and early 1970s, with the newest being the Jenks Junior High/JMW Arts High School complex, constructed in 1977. That assessment estimated that about $152 million would have to be spent to bring all 16 city schools up to modern-day educational standards.
Tenreiro added that some of the photos taken during the inspection at Nathanael Greene were eye-opening to the committee members because in some rooms, newer "drop ceilings" had been installed over the original ceiling panels. In several of these rooms, the plaster-over-gypsum board sections had also become detached from the joists, and were being held up by pipes, wires and other reinforcements that ran across the ceiling.
Tenreiro also said that the committee voted to approve Cylke's request for a waiver from the state education commissioner to cover four school days missed by the two elementary schools during the ceiling repairs. She plans to have the students at Potter-Burns and Nathanael Greene make up two school days on June 27 and 28, but said she is hoping to avoid extending the school year into the first week of July. For the students attending the rest of the schools in the district, the last day of classes will be June 26 due to make-up days from snow storms.
Tenreiro said the early morning meeting was scheduled out of a necessity to get the contract and waiver approved and to not delay action on the schools any longer. He said the committee will be discussing the condition of the schools in more detail at the next regular School Committee meeting. Also to be determined is the funding source that will be used to pay for the new ceilings that will need to be installed as a permanent solution at Potter-Burns and Nathanael Greene schools.

DENTON — Internationally
acclaimed pianist Rebecca Penneys will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday,
Oct. 7 in Margo Jones Performance Hall, located at Oakland and Sawyer
streets on the Denton campus of Texas Woman's University.
Admission is free.
An innovative educator,
Penneys also will teach a master class from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 6 in Margo Jones Performance Hall. For more information, call
(940) 898-2500.
Her concert visit will
be a reunion of sorts for Dr. Richard Shuster, assistant professor
of piano at TWU, who was Penneys' student at the Eastman School
of Music.
"She's a
unique teacher because of her physical approach to playing piano,
using her body to express emotion at the piano and producing beautiful
sound," he said. "She opened a new world for me and
inspired me to become a professional pianist."
Penneys has received
widespread recognition in academic and medical circles for her ability
to teach a "Motion and Emotion" keyboard technique that
allows pianists to achieve individual performance goals without
physical strain or injury.
Penneys made her recital
debut at age 9 and performed as a soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic
at the age of 11. At 17, she was awarded the Special Critics'
Prize for her performances at the Seventh International Chopin Piano
Competition in Warsaw, Poland. She went on to win the Most Outstanding
Musician prize at the Fifth Vianna Da Motta International Piano
Competition in Portugal, and was top prizewinner in the Second Paloma
O'Shea International Piano Competition in Spain.
Penneys is a founding
member of the acclaimed New Arts Trio, which twice has won the prestigious
Naumburg Award for Chamber Music. She has been professor of piano
at Eastman since 1980, and chairs the piano department at the Chautauqua

Six Great Destinations to Visit Over the Holidays - Page 2
|Chicago's Michigan Avenue during the holidays (Courtesy, City of Chicago)
Disneyland, California
The happiest place on earth might just be the merriest place on earth, too. Disneyland lights up the holiday season with tons of sparkly decorations all over the park and castle. Of course there are parades with Disney characters, a Santa, and real reindeer, too. The park caps off the evenings with a "Believe…In Holiday Magic" fireworks show, with lots of color and even snow.
Chicago, Illinois
Chicago is host to one of the largest traditional German Christmas markets outside of Germany. The city's first Christkindlesmarkt was held in 1996, and it now resides in Daley Plaza from the end of November through December. A tree-lighting celebration kicks off the season, and visitors can experience German traditions without having to fly to Europe. Walk through the small village under skyscrapers and feast on Bavarian pretzels and bratwurst. Plus, admission is always free.
Austin, Texas
Of course Austin, Texas, the "Live Music Capital of the World," would have a Christmas carol sing-along through the streets of downtown. After you harmonize your way through "Jingle Bells," make your way over to the annual Armadillo Christmas Bazaar, which has more live music and art that is 100 percent "Made in Austin." Once the sun goes down, take in 37th Street, which is famous for the thousands of lights that are displayed during the holidays. Clark Griswold has nothing on these people.
South Deerfield, Massachusetts
If you're one of those people who cannot get enough of Christmas, then head to Yankee Candle's flagship store in Deerfield, Massachusetts, 15 miles south of the Vermont border. Year-round this store features an old-fashioned German-style Bavarian Village. Mr. and Mrs. Claus are always nearby to say hello to the good boys and girls. Tons of ornaments and decorations can be found, and snow falls from the ceiling to the delight of visitors.

On Aug.
Cedar Key's pristine waters were in the spotlight on Wednesday as national news media converged on the island to cover the release of 23 Kemps Ridley sea turtles, victims of the BP oil spill that were cleaned and rehabilitated by various groups.
The zoning application came with $1,600 and eight cases of paperwork. The cover letter summed it up: "Tarmac America LLC is pleased to submit the King Road Limestone Mine Special Exception Application #3 ... This submittal is for the actual operation of the mine site which is +/- 4,750 acres," Tarmac executive Albert W. Townsend wrote to the Levy County Development Department. The letter was dated June 13, but it was not delivered to Levy County Building Official Rob Corbitt at his Bronson office until Aug.
Balloting for the Aug. 24 political party primary is Monday-Saturday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the Supervisor of Elections office, 421 S. Court Street, Bronson.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office has purchased six new vehicles — four for its K-9 units and two for the investigative unit for $167,462.80. Sheriff Johnny Smith said he stands behind the decision to replace vehicles that had 100,000 to 150,000 miles on each, including replacement of a car totaled in an accident where the other driver was found to be at fault. Smith said he is aware of how the purchase looks in a tight budget year.
It's official: County employees will not receive a pay raise in the coming year, but no layoffs or reduced work hours are anticipated. Department heads have been hiring and spending are frozen. In a memo sent to all county department heads dated Aug.
For the third consecutive year, Levy County is expected to get a "B" when it comes to education. The Florida Department of Education released its annual school grades last week, and area schools that had their grades reported overall performed well.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff and the U.S.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office is hosting a pistol class from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18 This class will qualify individuals for a concealed carry permit. The cost is $55 if registration is done online, or $60 on the day of the class. To register online, go to www.levypistolclass.info. This is a fund-raiser for the Sheriff's Office Employee Christmas Party.
This week marks the one-year anniversary of the North Florida Broadband Authority.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Quadruple vehicular homicide suspect Cody Rhoden - accused of triggering the deadliest interstate crash in Gwinnett's history nearly a year ago - was freed from the Gwinnett County Jail last month.For about five hours. Officials approved the Jan. 17 reprieve - the second in Rhoden's 10-month stay in jail - to allow the 21-year-old automotive technician from Gainesville to attend his mother's funeral. Rhoden's grandfather died in June. During the temporary release, which was approved by Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway, Rhoden's family paid for jail deputies to guard him, said Tracie Cason, the Assistant District Attorney overseeing his prosecution. It could mark Rhoden's last brush with freedom for the foreseeable future. Cason said the case won't likely find its way to a trial calendar until 2010. Judges twice denied Rhoden bond in 2008. "We're looking at maybe next January for the trial," Cason said. The Sheriff's Department routinely fields requests from family members to allow inmates to attend the funerals of close family. Department policy allows officials to evaluate those requests on a case-by-case basis. Stacey Bourbonnais, Sheriff's Department spokeswoman, said temporary releases are granted unless the freed inmate poses a high-security risk or other unusual circumstances. In each case, off-duty deputies guard the inmate at the family's expense, she said. Rhoden, 21, is accused of killing four people - three Lawrenceville family members and their driver - March 31 while driving wildly to Gainesville on Interstate 85. He was indicted on 11 counts in June, including four counts each of vehicular homicide and failure to stop or return to the scene of an accident, one for each person who died. The grand jury handed up two additional counts of serious injury by vehicle, alleging Rhoden recklessly threaded through traffic and caused Demetrius Randle - father to two of the victims and grandfather to one - to lose the use of his legs. A Gwinnett police investigator testified last year that Rhoden had been drinking at an Atlanta Braves' game and sped home in excess of 100 mph when he caused the chain-reaction crash. Police said he later ditched his damaged Acura RSX at a nearby hotel before turning himself in the next day. Rhoden's family and attorney have maintained his innocence, claiming his car was struck by the SUV carrying the family home from Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to Lawrenceville.

The Future of the Capital Punishment in Kentucky
by John Gregory | 04/01/14 1:17 PM
Kentucky is among some 30 states that have the death penalty, yet a growing call to abolish executions could change how the Commonwealth punishes its most serious criminals. On Monday's Kentucky Tonight, Bill Goodman and his guests discussed the state's death penalty system and the challenges being mounted against it.
Three bills were filed in the current General Assembly session addressing capital punishment. House Bill 33, a bipartisan measure sponsored by Rep. David Floyd (R-Bardstown), and Senate Bill 77 would have replaced the death penalty with a sentence of life without parole. Senate Bill 202 called for a number of reforms to the state's death penalty system. None of the measures were heard by or came to a vote in their respective judiciary committees.
Former Kentucky Public Advocate Ernie Lewis noted the House bill sponsored by a Republican legislator. Lewis explained more conservative and libertarian groups are joining the abolition movement, some motivated by cost concerns and others worried about government mismanagement. "So in that sense, it's refreshing to see it not be a partisan issue, and maybe in the future it will be addressed more as a bipartisan issue."
The High Cost of Death Penalty Cases
Lewis said he believes Kentucky spends some $8 to $10 million a year prosecuting capital cases and housing death row inmates - expenditures he contends could be greatly reduced by abolishing the death penalty. Thirty-three people sit on death row in the state, including one woman and four African-Americans. One man, Gregory Wilson, has a death warrant pending, but that execution is on hold until a judge can review Kentucky's lethal injection protocol.
Jackie Steele, Commonwealth's Attorney for Knox and Laurel counties, said the death penalty should be an option for prosecutors. He disputed Lewis' notion that simply abolishing capital punishment would save the state that much money.
"I don't know where there's going to be $8 to $10 million savings, as Mr. Lewis says, when there's still a crime," Steele explained. "There still has to be a trial, there still has to be attorneys appointed… There's still going to be the appellate process… You're still going to have incarceration costs for these individuals."
Those expenses are simply the price of maintaining a capital punishment system, said University of Kentucky law professor Paul Salamanca. He argued the citizens of the Commonwealth have decided to keep the death penalty, so they should be willing to pay that price - and he's willing to help uphold that choice.
"I see myself as defending the decision by the people of Kentucky to have capital punishment unless and until they change their minds," Salamanca said.
Life Without Parole
Other concerns about capital punishment range from the purity of the lethal drugs used for executions, to fears about how the death penalty is applied to minorities, the poor, or those who may have a mental deficiency. Roberta Harding, another professor at the UK College of Law, said abolishing the death penalty in favor of a sentence of life without parole would accomplish many of the same criminal justice goals.
"I think really, in my experience, the public is concerned about public safety," said Harding "They don't want to risk that person coming back [into the community] and that's why life without parole, for a lot juries, addresses our concern."
Both Harding and Lewis said they believe the U.S. Supreme Court will abolish the death penalty nationally before Kentucky lawmakers vote to ban capital punishment in the state.

Few filmmakers are as honest in interviews as Christopher McQuarrie - whether it's about his own failings or the way the film business operates.
After winning an Oscar with this second produced screenplay, The Usual Suspects (1995), McQuarrie made his directorial debut with The Way Of The Gun (2000), a brilliant, blackly comic crime drama seen by about three people on release.
It was 12 years before he would direct again, taking the reins on Jack Reacher (2012), an adaptation of the Lee Child novel One Shot, with Tom Cruise in the lead as the iconic ex-military detective.
In the interim, McQuarrie worked extensively as a script doctor, with Usual Suspects director Bryan Singer calling on him to rewrite the first two X-Men, before they collaborated on true-life World War Two thriller Valkyrie (2008).
That film sparked McQuarrie's fruitful working relationship with Tom Cruise and led to him writing on both Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and the upcoming All You Need Is Kill. It would not be a surprise to see them work together again soon. With Jack Reacher hitting DVD, we met with McQuarrie in a cafe in Beverly Hills, to discuss meaningful violence, the real Tom Cruise and lessons for his younger self...

'360' deals brought in extra revenue worth £76m to UK record companies last year, according to new BPI research - as sync income continued to grow.
Revenues generated outside of CD, DVD and digital services (i.e. from music synchronisation, '360' artist deals, concerts, music-related TV production, broadcasting and public performance) grew strongly for labels in 2011 to £205.3m, accounting for a fifth (20.5%) of record industry trade turnover.
The market for music synchronisation - the use of recordings in films, TV programmes, adverts and games – grew substantially to £18m, an increase of 11.9% year-on-year.
This was achieved despite a fall in games-related synchronisation deals, from £5.4m to £3.6m, as sales of games centred on music softened in 2011.
Artist-related revenues from multiple-rights '360' deals - including concerts, merchandising, touring and sales of music direct from artist and label websites - remained strong during 2011.
Almost £76m was generated from these additional income streams at labels in 2011, an increase of 14% on the previous year.
Licensing income from television, radio and online broadcast in addition to public performance revenues, collected by PPL, combined with VPL revenue increased to £83.2m.
Commenting on the annual figures, BPI Chief Executive Geoff Taylor said:
"British music companies have reinvented their businesses for the digital age, marketing and promoting music intelligently through every channel available. They have diversified their revenue base and this has established a solid platform for future growth as the transition to a majority digital business continues.
"British music is on a global high and the UK's creative industries have enormous potential to generate new jobs and economic growth, if Government gets serious about tackling online theft of content."

When someone says the "wind is at your back," it usually means that you're on a track for success — that there is momentum behind you.
I've learned over the past few months that in Oklahoma you could say we have wind energy at our backs. The wind energy industry is making a tremendous impact on the lives of Oklahomans.
