having worked with many structural engineers, vivaladraughts personal experience has been – they are brilliant at analytical , mathematical , formula thinking. and many of them have told architectural designers, flat out – "they cannot do what the architectural designer does" – ie to design in the emotion of the structure. they use formula's and mathematics to make sure the skyhook structure works. the working together of these 2 very different minds is critical to the outcome of the project.
simply put – if the one dabbles to much in the domain of the other – the end product will either fail or be a cold shell.
so now as a new day dawns and calculations dominate my creative design process – we give rise to the calcutect – this new form of creative design process is threatening the very fabrics and tools architectural designers work with – calcutecture is now written into our constitution by law and enforced by municipalities country wide – the advent of the analytical accountant like creative – supercedes the emotional creative – we are entering an era of small windows and large walls.
architecture is now dead – behold the rise calcutecture.
Are all professional architectural designers in the South African built environment landscape now finding it exceedingly difficult to get plans approved in the formal domestic sector? And hence are now finding it very, very difficult to earn a living. I have been walking plans and designing homes for over 20 years now. – I now find with all the new legislation and regulations being created by our regulatory body and the constant changing and fiddling of a system that worked – we are now left having to push a very over weighted , red tape animal up a very impossible hill. Regrettably this unchecked red tape hill is getting much steeper as the days progress. My main concern through all this regulatory body micro management is we now have 2 South African domestic built environment landscapes that have emerged. Running in exact opposite and contrasting directions and looking to never ever meet on any level in the future what so ever. creating 2 very different south african mindsets.
1) The over regulated domestic formal sector – which has now become a very financially viably, micro policed and regulated formal built environment.
2) And the absolutely under regulated or absolutely no council regulations at all, informal settlement built environment. our very own, unique south african, big city, frontier towns.
It is absolutely imperative that both the above built environment arenas should be policed and regulated with equal attention and measure. SA's informal settlement frontier towns are growing at an alarming rate, right alongside our domestic formal cities. The families that live within these under regulated communities are suffering immensely, whilst the regulatory bodies focus all attention on ways to create financial opportunity through regulation of the formal domestic built environment. It appears our regulatory body is letting the public down massively, in both sectors. Extracting large volumes of cash from a formal home owner awaiting and wanting to build. Holding up plans approval and costing the SA home owner millions of rands, whilst appearing to not even bother creating built environment boundaries or regulations within the informal settlement sector.
I implore reasonable minds to help stop this machine – to insist regulatory bodies regulate with good sense – and let not the easy gain of money, be the reason to grind working South African systems to a complete and utter standstill. Applying first world legislation being hugely funded by ist world countries, within an African system only forces 2 streams to emerge – this is not the way to regulate SA. We need reasonable minds to prevail, we need good sense to come to the fore. we need people who are passionate about people and living conditions to regulate – money should not talk to the detriment of an existing professional platform.
vivaladraught – An absolutely exasperated and extremely desperate architectural professional.
SATAM – south african totalitarian architectural machine
vivaladraughts little cousin Vinny, a 3 year old pre-schooler is regulating the tuckshop line at his pre-school. he is creating his own regulating / protection body and making sure he is teaching the other pre-schoolers these protection tactics. for this he charges a fee, as well as fees for the important lessons he is teaching. vinny believes that by protecting the public from pre-schoolers and regulating the tuckshop line – he is building the future of his pre-school.
Merchandise from the worlds latest revolutionary character – Vivaladraught.
As architectural draughting is becoming a financially challenging occupation in this current economic climate, due to bureaucratic means and global financial meltdown. In order to still survive in these really interesting times – Vivaladraught merchandise is now available. T-shirts, masks, stickers can be ordered – however you will have to figure out where to place your order yourself . – details will then follow once trust is established.
T-shirts – R250
Stickers – R80
Masks – R60
When regulatory, academic and bureaucratic systems are being created or set up. It is prudent to remember that the systems created to commit red tape side hips will always backfire later. To oppress the portfolio that is seen to be the lowest on any systems rung, through possible subterfuge and possible means most foul, will be setting a precedent for later.
It is only a matter of time before the architecture of this created system is picked up by a more powerful force. That will crush the very creators of the system that they carefully put in place. To their minds most noble or to others ignoble intent.
Protect the least among us on the lowest rung and the system stays and will remain fair. It has been to this virtue and this virtue alone vivaladraught has championed the plight of the currently self employed architectural draughtsperson, on the South African employment landscape. So on the 11th hour of the 11th day of 2011 , Vivaladraught will end this campaign with the above sentiments. And what will be, will be.
However the warning is very clear and the shot over the bow is obvious , If the current architectural curators of this architectural system get it right to eliminate so easily the ability of the architectural draughting professional to earn a living. A living that they have been earning for 40 years. It will get it right to re-look at each registered member and demote those holding positions on higher rungs just as easily. Example – senior tech to architectural draughtsperson is not unlikely when a system is set up to red tape side hip.
a possible cpd solution – mentorship
one amicable possible idea of taking care of this sensitive issue going forward is possibly to put architects and the current architectural draughtspersons in the same space using the framework of cpd. an architectural draughtsperson registered before 2011 can spend a few hours with a registered sacap architect and both can benefit. design knowledge in exchange for cpd credits. this can be an important way architectural projects can improve without taking the jobs away from the draughtsperson. this means the existing set of registered sacap architectural draughtspersons can still work with a framework similar to the 500M2 rule framework with agreed adjustments.
it does need to be said that most architectural draughtspersons tend to be stronger on the technical aspects of draughting and in some cases less focused on the architectural aesthetics. that is why its imperative to set up a mentoring process which needs to be created to address shortfalls between architect and architectural draughtsperson. This allows a possibility for architects to get valuable cpd credits, for looking over certain sensitive proposals put forth by the current up to 2011 set of architectural draughtspersons. this architectural draughtsperson and architect liaison can be asked for on architectural jobs falling outside of the current idow bill but falling within the 500m2 rule. its an additional step for the architectural draughtsperson to get plans approved for which the architect gets cpd points and the draughtsperson does not need to give up the architectural client and job. however getting advise and mentorship from an architect design expert, the project and client wins. Our systems need to foster and encourage a sense of working together, not this suspicion of method and anger which is currently spewing forth from the current architectural curators of our system.
Yours sincerely – your architectural systems conscience – vivaladraught
Because things are now moving at an incredible pace, on board notice 153 (2011) coupled with the fact that no one Vivaladraught knows has had any detailed response at all from SACAP as yet to queries, concerns and objections to board notice 153 (2011) gazetted on the 4th – back dated to the 1st and sent to registered members on the 11th by SACAP. Vivaladraught would be most grateful if you could please forward this blog post to all and sundry as an absolute urgency. or at the very least comment. please just take the vote – send this blog to the damn press if it resonates. Or just do nothing and read on to the end to understand the ramifications for us all – architect, technologist and draughty alike. Vivaladraught has several questions that need very urgent attention and responses from CBE , competitions board , the public , industry and all and sundry. (Yes that's right even your aunt in poffadder needs to comment) before a conclusive decision can be fairly made regarding board notice 153 (2011.) Vivaladraught is challenging SACAP's legality in publishing an interim policy document in the government gazette. The exact dates and backdates and the timing of the board notice being brought to the attention and communicated by SACAP to its registered members. This timing and obvious tardiness does not inspire confidence in the legality of publishing such a sensitive document. Which effects thousands of current working architectural draughting professionals. Vivaladraughts questions which need extremely urgent attention by the CBE and SACAP are 1) Was this process and timing of the gazette board notice 153 (2011) conducted in a fair and legal fashion? 2) Was the publishing of board notice 153 (2011) approved by the CBE before it was published. 3) Communication to members by SACAP of the publishing of board notice 153 (2011) was many days after it was published – it needs to be determined if this was a simple mistake or a tactic to allow a very sensitive document to pass under the radar. 4) To vivaladraughts knowledge, at no stage with the publication of board notice 153 (2011) did SACAP ask or want public comment and participation. Without doing this has SACAP council met with point 26 (1) b) any person, c) any body and d) any industry. Of the architectural profession act no 44 of 2000? 5) On publication of this board notice it immediately rendered many architectural draughtspersons – illegal, the implications of this are massive. 5.1) what is SACAP going to do in terms of notifying the registered persons and the public who are now engaged in illegal work in terms of this board notice 153 (2011)? 5.2) what is SACAP going to communicate to the registered persons who now find themselves alienated from the very jobs they have been doing very competently for many years. ? 6) The board notice 153 (2011) completely favors one minority VA under SACAP – that fact could cause doubt as to the fairness of the creation of such a document, when the CBE looks at the fact that architectural draughtspersons are not fairly represented on SACAPS council and committees. Architectural draughtspersons have been an integral part of the built environment landscape for 40 years. To suddenly render these professionals powerless to do the work they have been doing competently for all these years is a complete tragedy, that will have ramifications for years to come. Regulatory Councils need to give proper respect to current practicing professionals. And concentrate more on the education and framework of changing future generations of architectural professionals. Without trying to side hip currently self employed architectural draughtspersons in an already depleted South African workforce off the table. This climate of professional xenophobia needs to be addressed with the absolute respect and sensitivity it deserves. It needs to be SAID Vivaladraught is not wanting to become an architect – that would be way to complicated and really needs to be kept to the domain of the 6 year degree chaps. It also needs to be SAID that it was only a few short years ago that technologists and draughtspersons griped the same gripe about the mighty architect as we sat cheek by chowel in the professional trenches. Now the technologist has developed the same mighty opinion and seeks to kick the already economically down trodden draughty in the stomach. (Kicking in the head is still reserved for the chaps at the top.) its only a few short years now to the inevitable birth of the architectural design elite clergy class, which will give rise to an animal that will populate our cities with giant femdomes. When architect and technologists alike will be doing the same work and getting the pay the draughty now gets. –
so lets remember , remember this letter on the 5th 0f November 2011 – it effects you joe public – you never know whats next if regulatory bodies get this right, it might possibly be a law linked to architectural fee structures – its a guide now but you just never know whats around the next corner .

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 12
Why R U mad at Steve? He's just complying w/law!
Posted By: Edna O+
In Response To: � rage � d�sespoir (Pascaline (A))
I disagree that his philosophy has changed. All he is doing is complying with the legal restrictions, which he did not create! Steve has brought to reality a wonderful vision with the Foundation and created a point of connection for the ER4YT community. He has done this on his own time because he wants to keep this community a vital, living thing and because he cares. Why do you say his philosophy has changed just because he is not willing to break the law? I see a dedicated person doing the best he can to inform people of the foods lists (again, all created on his own time) WITHIN the confines of the law. I don't get how you can be angry at that.

The menu promised a lot but did not quite deliver in flavour. The mussels seemed to be small and many did not open. The carbonara was pleasant but lacked pancetta and cheese to give it flavour. The rose wine was the best that we have had on the amalfi coast.
It has to be said that the ambience is extremely nice. The service is extremely fast which could be a good or a bad thing depending on if you need to race back for the SITA bus. Free bruschetta as an appetiser was a nice touch.
The prices weren't extremely high for being in such a prime location in Amalfi.
A pleasant experience but won't be returning.

hi Srikanth,
Are you want Trial License key ?
Otherwise do contact Symantec Support for assistance
You will need some form of license to get the software to work. Even if its a 60 day evaluation. This you would get via a reseller or Symantec

"Although the responses of surveyed physicians suggest that efficacy and safety/tolerability are the most important factors influencing treatment decisions for chronic pain, these physicians anticipate that patient out-of-pocket costs and reimbursement constraints will directly influence their prescribing of emerging chronic pain therapies," said Decision Resources Principal Business Insights Analyst Natalie Taylor, Ph.D. "Even if an emerging therapy demonstrates significantly greater efficacy than the current standard of care for reducing pain, we find that both surveyed PCPs and pain specialists consistently assign lower anticipated patient shares to emerging therapies if the agents were to be covered by MCOs as non-preferred brands. However, emerging therapies that lower the overall long-term costs of treating chronic pain conditions may potentially secure more favorable reimbursement status from MCOs."

Orchard Farm, Parwich, Nr. Ashbourne, Derbyshire, DE6 1QB
Tissington is one of our nearest neighbours, an estate village which has been owned and run by the FitzHerbert family for four centuries – 403 to be precise! According to them it is where heaven and earth meet in the Peaks – I thought that was Parwich but we're not far away so they may have got it slightly wrong!
Anyway, to be serious, it is a lovely village and a great favourite with our guests and us who love walking over the hills to tempt ourselves in the White Peak Butchery there with the array of wonderful meats, sausages, black pudding and bacon; many of them have also discovered On a Wick and a Prayer wonderful candle workshop, not to mention Tissington Hall itself and the Tea Rooms where we often like to go for a delicious lunch or afternoon tea.
The Tea Room have been shut for a bit, while very super fancy new loos and other improvements were put in. We were delighted to be invited to the official opening yesterday morning, where the Derbyshire Dales MP, Michael MacLoughlin (also Chief Whip) opened them and we all celebrated with champagne and a specially commissioned Tissington Tearooms cake.

As for the movie itself, I don't really have any big complaints. My only real concern going in was how well the added stuff was going to integrated into Bilbo and the Dwarves story, but I thought it was done perfectly. If I didn't know it was added going in I would have just assumed that was all in the original novel. I give it an

JDIC - NetBeans Integration Updated for 6.0
To jump back into programming, and to familiarize myself with the new release of NetBeans, I've updated the jdic-netbeans integration. Here you can see the browser embedded in NB, replacing the default "Swing browser".
There's still some issues with the integration that I've never managed to tackle, relating to heavyweight-lightweight component mixing. The browser doesn't handle being resized very well, and tends to put itself in front of other TopComponents. Any ideas welcome!
The source code is available on the java.net project site.

Chris: I'm just a client of JDIC, I'm not a developer for them. I sure hope it's not dead. I, too, am disturbed by the lack of activity!
Andre: I'd heard about this fix, but I haven't started testing JRE7 builds yet. My guess is that it will fix the z-ordering problem, but not the resizing problem. That looks like a genuine JDIC bug.
...and yes, I was in Prague for about a week. Jarda took me to his favorite pub for lunch, and introduced me to Kofola ("the taste of communism!") I also met with Robert and Micah (of netbeans.tv) for an interview at a very nice restaurant right on the river. My blog entry for Prague is at: http://unger.vox.com/library/post/friends-in-prague.html

Portrait at Panza's and Friday Night Take Out
Everyone who knows me and what's in Millvale PA, was pretty sure I was at Jean-Marc Chatellier Bakery when they saw yesterday's post of the snow topped mailboxes.
Not this trip- although I wish I'd thought of when I was over there.
Right after school I drove in the snow and met my wonderful printer, Tom, to pick up a print. Tom was waiting on the side of street on 31st between Liberty and Penn, right before the 31st Street bridge.
His good idea so I could get to Millvale before closing.
I was dropping off a print to be framed at my favorite framer, Mark Panza Gallery. He and his daughter Jennifer do an excellent job. I always leave there with a rejuvenation in spirit and lots of creative ideas after we talk.
Mark took this photo me with my new SONY mirrorless camera, testing it out.
I love the vintage mannequins in the background as they are waitng for pick-up to be in a movie being filmed in Millvale and Pittsburgh.
Thanks for taking this photo of me Mark.
and here is our
selfie usie taken with the tilt screen option that opens up.
I made it a tad smaller so I don't feel so bulky when I look at it.
I cropped myself out and got a nice portrait of Mark
Steve brought in take out tonight. Fish sandwich and slaw. I reheated the sandwich in the oven. Mmmmmm.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Gone, But Not Forgotten
Brother Michael's photograph is on the wall at Rocco's Pasticceria down on Bleecker Street.
Brother Michael LaMantia served "51 years as a brother in the Scalabrini Order and nearly 40 years at the parish in the heart of Greenwich Village."
(Our Lady of Pompeii Church is across the street from Rocco's. My sister says there is a memorial to Brother Michael in the church.
Before Brother Michael passed in 2013, he gave the Pasticceria this statue of Saint Rocco. Brother Michael is Gone, But Not Forgotten.
Thanks to Krista Evans for this challenge
Rocco's on Bleecker Street.
For the story of Saint Rocco you can check out the link in this post from the Saint Rocco Festival in Pittsburgh
Franco (posing for me with a cheesecake below) is the one who showed me Brother Michael's prayer card on the wall at Rocco's and told me that Brother Michael had given the Saint Rocco Statue to the store. Franco has been at Rocco's for more than thirty years!
Here is Franco posing for me with a cheesecake. Mary and I stopped in Saturday night for a coffee and pastry after a nice day at Galleries and Target First Night at the Brooklyn Museum.
Unexpected Find at Panza Gallery
Millvale, PA is just across the Allegheny River. Steve and I eat out at Grant Bar Grant Avenue some nights.
If you follow the blog you've been to Millvale with me, Jean-Marc Chatellier's Bakery for Brioche, Esther's Hobby Shop, Attic Records, the high water mark from the floods.
We popped into the Panza Gallery and saw some friends and acquaintances and checked out the new work show by Brian Lang and Susan Sparks. I've posted some photos of Panza's.
While chatting with Mary Ann, I asked if I could photograph the ceramic holy water font where this package of fuses got placed. Just as it was.
When Mark was finished with his conversation, he concurred that I could photograph this find. Thanks Mark and Mary Ann.
Coming up in February and March, Panza will host programs on the artist Maxo Vanka Murals housed in the St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Parish on the hill.

Last Day of Summer Vacation Before School Starts
I need to gather up my knitting bag, the computer bag and the camera bag- pack the suitcase- load the car. And the grocery bag with the sock monkeys that the girls helped me stuff but still need to be handstitched. The eyes embroidered. The tails attached.
I'll be heading home in a few hours. A 3 1/2 hour drive. Just can't sleep.
The Summer unstructured time has been grand.
Although I'm up at four today, setting the alarm for 5:15 is going to be the tricky part. Getting up tomorrow for the familiar drive to school. The freshman will come on Friday so that gives me a couple of days of clerical time and Prof Dev meetings. All students start on Monday.
Here's the pastry case and breakfast from Sunday's brunch at La Chatelaine after church.
Patron Saint of Bakers and Pastry Chefs – Saint Honoré
Honoratus of Amiens (who died in 600) . The Feast Day is May 16th but no matter.
The nice woman at Jean-Marc Chatellier Bakery in Millvale said "Saint Honoré" when I asked.
Here he is, carved from wood, with his bread peel with some sheafs of wheat, watching over the baker
August 2 is the last day before the bakery goes on vacation. We just made it on our way to the Children's Museum.

Oram's Donuts in Joe Namath's Hometown – Beaver Falls, PA
More than a decade ago I saw a show narrated by Rick Sebak on PBS about Oram's Bakery in Beaver Falls, PA. Beaver Falls is about 35 miles Northwest of the city and is on the Beaver River. ( I just looked it up and the show was out in 1999)
Their cinnamon rolls are their most popular donut, and they appeared to be the size of dinner plates. Well, at least a luncheon plate. I am sure each one weighs a half a pound.
I'd always intended to go check them out.
Today I did.
They barely fit in the bakery box.
I bought a seventh cinnamon roll for me to eat for lunch and Josh put it in a white paper bakery bag for me.
Here is Josh graciously posing for me with the box of the donuts. Thank you Josh.
I was going to take the box to Ohio but the car was so hot that when I was at the Beaver Falls Post Office I saw a woman waiting in a car, so I asked her if she liked Oram's donuts and she said yes so I went to the car and gave her the box. She was most appreciative.
Nicole is constructing boxes to hold donut orders.
Josh and his brother built this LEGO® donut bakery. They sent a design to a company online and they sent the design kit to build, software is involved. It's on display in the bakery and I found it fascinating.
Another view of the LEGO® bakery
A lot of details. This is the front of the bakery.
Love the LEGO® donuts
I bought a souvenir coffee mug for Steve if you lived in Beaver Falls and brought this mug in after purchase they will give you FREE coffee (the small size coffee) in your Oram's mug
The building was built the year both my parents were born 1912
Oh yes, I mentioned that Beaver Falls is Football Hall of Famer Joe Namath's hometown so I found the plaque to him by the library(the library is closed on Friday's :-( ) I drove by the Beaver Falls Senior High School but it is a modern one now and so I figured the old one must be the Middle School next door.
My friend Gail and her parents took me to see the JETS play in the late sixties and you know who the quarterback was in that game!
Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves Evoke Memories
A bolt of lightning knocked out the internet so blogging from my phone
Rhubarb says Spring to me.
When the three kids were younger, we'd pile in the car and drive 7 hours to New York City to visit my sister. I'd park in the lot by the pier on the Hudson and we'd make our way up the five floor walk-up to her apartment. Everyone would be asleep on the floor camping out and in the early morning, Aunt Mary would walk to Zito's Bakery on Bleecker Street, come home with warm loaves. She'd have the butter out and a jar of her homemade strawberry rhubarb preserves. She'd slice the bread on a wooden board. That's what the kids woke up to – warm bread and butter and strawberry rhubarb preserves-
Berenice Abbott took this photo of Zito's in 1937.
Today I went to the Farmer's market on the South Side and bought two bunches of rhubarb and fresh picked strawberries. I was trying to remember the method and chopped the stalks in one inch pieces, put them into a large enamel kettle and sprinkled with sugar to sit.
Added the strawberries and cooked it down. I wish it wasn't so late and I could have called for the recipe. Just did it from memory.
The loaf from the Farmers Market on the bread board, a gift from my sister.
Postcard stamp on the back of Zito's card a dime. I pulled it out of the frame tonight. Read what you wrote.
Before Matthew was born and he's 33!
Kids grown up and gone but tonight as I taste the strawberry rhubarb preserves, I remember.
P.S. And to answer your question Mary, on the card-
I did get that assistantship and that's how I was able to get hired at Pittsburgh Public Schools in 1989!
P.P.S. Zito's is gone now.

continued One of the green experiments includes using carbon dioxide generated from dry ice to extract oil from an orange peel. This process is also similar to what is done to naturally decaffeinate coffee, according to Knight.
Potter said one of the reasons Schalmont was selected is because the school isn't able to dispose of any chemicals down the drain since it runs off a septic system.
"They are a perfect candidate to teach chemistry by using chemicals that are not as toxic," she said. "They have to be very careful what they put down the drain — they have to dilute it or transport it off site."
The chemical inventory on Dec. 20 is used to establish a baseline for the chemicals used in the classroom to see how much is being used during the year.
"We are trying to say, with green chemistry you don't need to purchase such toxic chemicals, which tend to be very expensive," said Knight. "Right now schools need to save as much money as they can."
Potter said the number of chemicals Schalmont had in its lab was "average" and there wasn't any "significant" findings among the jugs and jars of toxic materials tucked in between two classrooms.
Potter also said she hopes green chemistry will inspire children to become interested in chemistry. So far, her experience has shown it works.
"We need more children to go into chemistry … there is a lot of demand in terms of industry for this," she said. "If you take away a lot of the concerns about teaching chemistry, the safety part … I think kids feel more comfortable and excited."

I have been working at Aspire Public Schools full-time (More than a year)
Terrific learning environment for single, or young, teachers who have not yet had children of his/her own. Very data driven which serves to really focus on students' needs. If you are lucky enough to be on a good team for your grade level span, you will truly learn what collaboration and teamwork means. Ideal environment for first year teachers who are willing to learn and give 150% every day! Work load has improved with the incorporation of computers in each classroom. The organization's motto and values put students first. Plenty of opportunities for growth and leadership if you can handle the additional duties and responsibilities and can take feedback well.
Work-life balance has been and continues to be an issue for most teachers. The higher up the ranks you go, the less, or so it seems, work you put in. These are positions OUT of the classroom. If a principal favors you, your life will be much easier and certain responsibilities will be overlooked. However, if you are on the other end, be prepared to be given negative feedback veiled in "concern" of your data and teacher evaluations. A bad principal can make every day a bad one, but that may be true at any school. Don't expect HR to be on your side either. If you are on a competitive team of teachers, they may NOT truly be collaborative and share since money was previously tied into performance. Teachers have consistently asked for more pay (it is supposed to be addressed/fixed this year). Health benefits are good. Awesome team leaders can make life so much easier, but bad leaders make you look incompetent while he/she shines.
Advice to Management
Keep asking for feedback from your teachers and continue with the open door policy so teachers can alert you directly of any principal/administration concerns without retaliation. Everyone at home office seems like they truly care about the mission of Aspire and all the sacrifices that teachers have made, but there is still a disconnect between home office and how the L.A. principals are running the schools. High turnover in L.A. Might be time to analyze why our teachers are leaving.

The students, the results, and the intrinsic rewards. Some flexibility in some jobs about dress codes, time off, etc. Teachers get less flexibility.
Compensation, long days, not as much autonomy as expected. Everything (feedback, PD days, the few compensation dollars) are given to teachers; Corporate staff left out of most of those things.

Curiosity rover set for third drilling on Mars: NASA
US space agency NASA said Tuesday its Curiosity rover will carry out its third drilling on Mars in the coming days.
Curiosity used several tools to examine a Martian sandstone slab dubbed "Windjana" over the weekend, including a wire-bristle brush known as the Dust Removal Tool to clear away dust from a 6- centimeter-across patch on the rock, Xinhua quoted NASA as saying.
"In the brushed spot, we can see that the rock is fine-grained, its true colour is much grayer than the surface dust, and some portions of the rock are harder than others, creating the interesting bumpy textures," Curiosity science team member Melissa Rice of the California Institute of Technology said in a NASA statement.
"All of these traits reinforce our interest in drilling here in order to understand the chemistry of the fluids that bound these grains together to form the rock," Rice said.
Before Curiosity drills deeply enough for collection of rock- powder sample, there will be a preparatory "mini-drill" operation on the target, as a further check for readiness, NASA said.
Curiosity's drill collects powered sample material from the interior of a target rock for analysis.
The only two rocks previously drilled by Curiosity are even finer-grained mudstone in Yellowknife Bay, about 4 kilometers northeast of the rover's current location at a waypoint called " The Kimberley."
Those two targets, examined in 2013, provided evidence of an ancient lakebed environment from billions of years ago with conditions favourable for microbial life.

The 2009 Grange Shiraz is a comprised of 84% Barossa, 8% McLaren, and a little Clare Valley and a little Magill fruit with a small 2% of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. At this youthful stage, this deep garnet-purple colored wine puts forward a vivid expression of blackberry preserve aromas amid underlying cassis, black cherry, spice box, char-grilled meat and chocolate box notes. Surprisingly medium to full-bodied (it smells much fuller!) with taut flavors that are very closed in the mouth, it has firm, chewy tannins to structure through the long and earthy finish. Drink it 2018 to 2035+.Drink Dates: 2018-2035
Professional content appears courtesy of Vinfolio
A tiny 2% Cabernet component in 2009, this is sourced from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and Magill Estate and has spent 18 months in exclusively new American oak hogsheads. The depth and complexity on offer is straight up impressive, blue and black fruit aromas unwind, meaty at times, some dark green herbal notes and a cedary layer of oak lurking below. The palate has a core of essence-like flavour with plenty of oak-derived spice framed around blackberry, blood plum and cola. Tannins are smooth and even, flavours are gently glazed around the dark fruit spectrum, some blue fruits too. This is a wistful Grange that, as always, faithfully reflects the vintage.Author: James Suckling

Aromatically pure, with beautiful focus to the blueberry, black currant, espresso and cream character. In the mouth this sprouts prickly tannins and picks up a distinct tomato leaf note that sends the wine in a different direction. This has depth, length and plenty of ripeness without excess weight, but lacks the complete harmony of the best vintages.Drink Dates: 2016-2030

(98% shiraz and 2% cabernet sauvignon): Inky ruby. Intense spice- and mineral-accented aromas of cherry pit, blackberry and plum, with smoke and floral qualities adding complexity. Taut and linear on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering zesty dark fruit and violet pastille flavors and hints of licorice and vanilla. Finishes smoky, spicy and very long, with youthfully firm, building tannins adding grip. In a relatively taut, wound-up style for this wine; by all means give it some age.Author: Josh Raynolds

Four women crushed to death by speeding truck
A traditional wedding procession in Punjab turned into a tragedy when four women were crushed to death by a speeding truck late Tuesday night, police said Wednesday.
The victims were part of a 'Jago' procession, usually taken out a day before marriage at midnight, near Sangrur, 130 km from here.
"The speeding truck crushed the victims. We have arrested the truck driver and registered a case against him," a police officer said.
Following the incident, angry people blocked the road near the accident spot.

Programs Bring Art of the Aging Brain to Homes and Communities
Sherman, Andrea, Aging Today
2007 ASA-NCOA Joint Conference
"Art is like chocolate to the brain," declared Gene Cohen, director of the Center on Aging, Health and Humanities at George Washington University, Washington, D.C. Cohen spoke at the symposium titled "The Aging Brain: Lifelong Learning Through the Creative Arts" at the recent 2007 Joint Conference of the American Society on Aging (ASA) and National Council on Aging in Chicago. Cohen, along with a number of panelists, explored the benefits of expressive arts, lifelong learning and creativity for older adults.
According to Cohen, in 1970, the typical American age 65 or older had less than a high school education. By 1990, though, those 65 or more had at least some college education. By 2000, the 5O-plus set was far better educated than their parents' generation-and they were returning to campus, constituting the fastest-growing group of students in college and graduate programs. "By the 21 st century," Cohen stated, "recognition was growing that lifelong learning benefited from engagement in the arts, and this engagement led to better health for older adults and enhanced contributions to culture." A longstanding example of this phenomenon, he said, is folk art, which is dominated by older adults-including many who were late bloomers, such as painter Grandma Moses.
Joining Cohen-whose research on creativity and aging is described in the article beginning on page 1 of this issue (see "Experts Reveal Keys to Brain Health"-were innovators of three bestpractice programs focusing on elders' learning and creativity at home, in the community or on campus.
Sara Peller, associate executive director at Dorot in New York City, quoted an older participant in the organization's University Without Walls (UWW), who commented, "The music uplifted me and carried me all the way to Carnegie Hall. I wish I had dressed better for the occasion-even though I never left my own living room." This program for homebound older adults offers classes over the telephone, such as music and performing arts, visual art, journal writing, play reading and book discussions. In addition, museum educators and docents lead many classes on current exhibits.
Another UWW participant, Peller said, observed, "When I read a poem that I may have read as a young person, I am reminded of how I used to be and who I am now. Some good, some not so good, but it is a connection that I cherish. We not only learn things, but this experience helps us remember our past." UWW classes provide learning materials to homebound elder students, such as binders of art created by local museums. In creative writing classes, students send their work to the teacher, who copies the stories for other students to use in discussions. One teacher holds office hours over the telephone so that students can discuss their work. Besides the programs for frail older adults at home, Dorot offers a chorus called KoI Dorot, intergenerational painting classes, quilting instruction and museum trips.

My name is Jess Jones. I'm the founder of the 7th annual G.$.S.H. Tour. Since the launch in 2009, this tour has produced 330+ concerts in 80+ cities with over 150,000 attendees. The purpose of this tour is to promote upcoming indie artists. It may not be for the more established artists in a market, but we try to find ways to network & connect with everyone out here taking their careers seriously. We'll be back in San Diego on Sunday, February 8th at the Kava Lounge.
If you or any artists you know in the area are interested in performing at this event, you can rock. We don't discriminate. No large fees, ticket sales, or anything like that required. All you have to do is pay the $12 ($15 if under 21) entry fee to the event and bring at least 1 person with you who isn't performing to pay the entry fee as well. The set is 7 minutes long. If you're interested, email GetMoneyStopHatinTour@gmail your name, artist name, contact phone, contact email, city of residence, and show date(s) you want to perform at and I'll get you confirmed for the show. Let me know sooner than later because slots are limited.
We're still evaluating artists in every city that we can to possibly take on tour and/or work with a multitude of ways. We're looking for 7-10 artists to co-headline the 2015 tour. If an artist is selected, they'd be paid up to $5,000-$10,000 in 2-3 months to co-headline the 7th annual G$SH Tour. This is a great opportunity for any upcoming artist serious about taking their careers to the next level. I met every artist I work with at an event just like this one coming up.
Everything above is the general info, but if you prefer to talk to over the phone, give us a call. We can be reached at 818-723-0847 or 401-699-2002 or getmoneystophatintour@gmail to answer any questions you may have about the above info.

I'm trying to understand pipes 4.0, and want to convert some conduit code. Suppose I have a stream of
Ints, and I'd like to skip the first five, then get the sum of the following 5. Using plain lists, this would be:
sum . take 5 . drop 5
In conduit, this would be:
drop 5
isolate 5 =$ fold (+) 0
Or as a complete program:
import Data.Conduit
import Data.Conduit.List (drop, isolate, fold)
import Prelude hiding (drop)
main :: IO ()
main = do
res <- mapM_ yield [1..20] $$ do
drop 5
isolate 5 =$ fold (+) 0
print res
However, I'm not quite certain how to do this with pipes.

I've made so many changes getting this to run, I'm not sure the bad URL was the whole story, but I've got it working now. For anyone else' edification a 'ps aux | grep AppServer' command before restarting AppServer returned a line for 'sudo ./AppServer', which wasn't correct. After a restart, the same command returns a line for 'sh ./AppServer', which seems to work just fine. I'll have to watch that to see what I did wrong before.

About Ursula Brozovich
Born on Curacao and raised in the Netherlands and in the Caribbean, I have lived since March 2005 with my husband on our farm in the United States.
As a teenager, I was very fortunate to be a student of the Caribbean painter Luis (Luigi) Benjamin Pinedo, who introduced me to oil and pastel. Although I participated in art shows, accepted commissions, and sold my art in the Caribbean, United States and Europe over the past 20 years, I was still considering painting as a hobby besides my full time office job. In 2009 I turned my passion and hobby into a career.
For the past couple of years my heart inclines more towards fantasy and children's book illustration. November 2011, I started working on my first children's book, when I realized that I lacked important illustration skills. So, I went back to college and am really enjoying learning all the technical aspects of children's book illustration.
Please visit My website for my portfolio.
You can follow my children's book illustration journey on Facebook at AnimalKingdomArt
My desire to understand the nature of all living beings carried me into studying social psychology (2009)and animal care (1989) Over the past 30 years I have volunteered for animal rescue/dog training and worked at a grooming salon. I share these experiences and observations on my blog.

Question for natural product mamas
I'll be using what the hospital provides with one exception. I plan on exclusively nursing, but I am going to bring a few small bottles of formula. I used a few ounces of formula with my last baby, because I hard barely any colostrum at first. If I have to do it again, I want it to be the formula of my choosing.
I don't get why you'd give your newborn formula, because their stomachs are literally the size of marbles, but to each her own, I guess.
I'm not birthing in a hospital. If I were, I'd be bringing my cloth diapers with me. I would use flushable paper liners for the meconium, though.
Sign it. Share it.
We got a few packages of disposable diapers for our shower. We will probably be using those for the first few days and for when the meconium passes. We just ordered out cloth diapers today, so I'm excited to recieve them, I've just heard that most of them are usually too big for newborns.
Our Birth Center doesn't provide much in the freebie department apart from a spray for your vagina. We did get a few J&J stuff for our shower also but I will probably just use the shampoo to wash my makeup brushes with ha and just not use the other stuff or donate it
Twinklefeather-I'm due the 19th too :)
born at home
I'll wait to get home and then I'll use my "natural" supplies.
" For one dollar, I'll guess your weight, your height, or your sex." -The Jerk
Pregnant with baby #5, I'm a runner. I run. While pregnant.
I'll be bringing his cloth diapers and wipes with us to the hospital.
We're not going to CD until we get home. I guess I hadn't even thought about brining my baby products to the hospital...I'm pretty much in love with the Earth Mama Angel Baby producs, so maybe I will bring them. :)

Not all homes are the same, but common sense measures can reduce the risk, expert says
SATURDAY, July 19 (HealthDay News) -- Falls are a leading cause of serious injury and death among elderly people in the United States, and most of those falls occur in the home, says the American Geriatric Society (AGS).
"There are many steps people can take to make their home safer for those who are aging. Something as small as using a night light in a dark hallway can prevent an elderly person from falling during the night," Dr. Cheryl Phillips, a member of the AGS, said in a news release. "Falls are so dangerous to this particular population, and there are easy ways to help avoid them," she added.
Phillips offered the following safety suggestions:
"I advise caregivers to walk through the home and check each room for potential dangers. Not all homes are the same, so caregivers should ask themselves what safety issues are unique to the particular house," Phillips said.
Each year, about one in three Americans aged 65 and older suffers a fall, and 30 percent of those falls cause injuries that require med

Petitioning Ryan Murphy and the writers of 'Glee'
Do not sing/perform 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke
Long story short: DON'T SING A SONG ABOUT DEGRADING AND RAPING WOMEN ON A SHOW THAT HAS A LARGE FEMALE FOLLOWING
Not only is the song extremly inappropriate, the entirety of the song is spent degrading women and making them out to be sex objects. The song is also clearly about raping women, and that is not the kind of song I want to be hearing on my favorite television show. 'Glee' is a show that is supposed to celebrate every different type of person, not degrade them and to be quite honest I would rather stop watching the show than watch them sing a song about rape. The song humiliates women, and I'm sure I'm not the only person that is offended by the song and doesn't want it to be sung on Glee. Ever.
Letter to
Ryan Murphy and the writers of 'Glee'
Please do not sing 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke, I find it offensive and I don't want to see it performed on 'Glee'.

PHILADELPHIA | After Garrett Mock and Joel Hanrahan combined to blow a four-run lead in the eighth inning of a 13-11 loss to the Phillies on Monday night, manager Manny Acta said Monday the Washington Nationals will use a closer-by-committee approach, putting Hanrahan in lower-pressure situations until he gets his confidence back.
From Acta to acting general manager Mike Rizzo to Hanrahan himself, confidence seemed to be the buzzword. They all felt he had lost some, especially Monday night when he walked Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth - two hitters who are a combined 0-for-14 lifetime against him - in part because he was afraid of giving up a home run.
For now, Julian Tavarez and Kip Wells (who both signed minor league deals in spring training) will share the closer's role. Joe Beimel, who is eligible to come off the disabled list next week, also will be in the mix to close games.
"Depending on how things go this week, he might end up being the guy," Acta said.
Hanrahan took the decision well, saying it doesn't make sense to keep running the same pitcher to the mound when he's consistently struggling. The right-hander has blown three of his five save chances this year.
Rizzo wasn't troubled by Hanrahan saying he was afraid of giving up a home run, though, because he said that fear is more common among closers than many think.
"I think he probably needs to do a little media counseling. I think a lot of pitchers have felt it, and not many of them say it," Rizzo said. "He was very truthful and forthcoming to the media. Confidence is everything. I don't know one closer that I ever played with or was around that didn't second-guess themselves at times. Not many of them mention it in the media."
Now the closer's role comes down to the three pitchers Rizzo signed in March - first Wells and Tavarez, then Beimel when he returns from a strained left hip flexor.
And given Wells' 2.08 ERA in four appearances and Tavarez's 3.12 ERA in 11 appearances, Rizzo can take a little pride in the cheap insurance policy.
"Going into spring training, I felt the bullpen was the most vulnerable spot on the club. Not only the bullpen proper but to protect our young starters," he said. "There's nothing that deflates a young starting pitching staff worse than having the bullpen implode on them."
It seemed evident to Wells and Tavarez that Hanrahan needed to step back from the closer's role, but Wells said he's hoping to see Hanrahan closing games again soon.
"I don't even think in this situation, that now it's going to be a group effort," Wells said. "Hopefully [Hanrahan] takes the job back over. It just means that there's no loyalty to riding it out. If he gets in trouble, now it's, 'We're all collectively going to try to get three outs in the ninth.' "
Harris back, Maxwell down
The Nationals activated Willie Harris from the 15-day DL on Tuesday, bringing the utility infielder back from a strained left oblique muscle that has kept him out since April 13. Harris said he felt "fine" with his rehab stint at Class AAA Syracuse.
"I'll get a couple spot starts," Harris said. "I know my role. They won't have a problem out of me."

Protect the shorelandsDecember 19,2013
Protect the shorelands
Proposed shoreland protection legislation pushes forward efforts to protect and improve the quality of Vermont lakes and ponds. The legislation would place reasonable regulations on shoreland activity, including clearing of native trees and bushes, and the expansion of impervious surfaces. Impervious surfaces are artificial structures that are covered by impenetrable materials such as asphalt. I believe that although shoreland protection isnt the only pollution and flood control tactic, it will propel Vermont forward in its efforts to control pollution and decrease flood damage.
Other states, including Maine and New Hampshire, preserve their lakes and ponds by implementing shoreland protection laws. Legislation in Vermont is pulling ideas from their successful regulations to model our proposed laws after.
Not only is shoreland protection a crucial pollution and flood mitigation measure, it also greatly impacts fish and wildlife. Clearing vegetation and creating impervious structures on shorelands can disrupt habitats for fish and wildlife, which can make it hard, or nearly impossible, for them to survive. By protecting Vermonts shoreland, we will also be defending fish and wildlife.
Imagine a Vermont where you couldnt go swimming in your favorite place because the water was too polluted. Who wants their children swimming in dirty water? Nobody.
Vermonters have the opportunity to help shape sensible shoreland protection. You can help define the proposed model in legislation concerning our beautiful, healthy, thriving lakes and shoreland creatures in Vermont. Come to the Lake Shoreland Protection Commission meeting Jan. 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the State House to voice your opinion. If you care about the current or future health of Vermonts water, wildlife or fish, express your questions and concerns at the meeting. For more information about the committee, bill and public meeting, you can visit https://leg2.vermont.gov/sites/legislature/LSP/default.aspx.

"Wizard of..." Homages in OTGAP? (Spoilers)
Again: SPOILERS!!
Not so much a review thread, but I just saw Oz the Great and Powerful, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked looking for and finding little touches that were put in to pay respects to the original Judy Garland classic.
I know I didn't catch nearly all of them. What were some of the references to the original flick that you caught or heard about?
For me, the road sign to the Dark Forest struck me as a subtle homage.
I also got a kick out of how Oz's former girlfriend ended up being Dorothy's mother.

Only serious players needed for GOW 1 MP Boosting
If anyone (serious achievement hunters or completionist people) wants to boost Gears of War MP Achievements, then I am working on setting up a boosting session so that people who want to get the game done, can participate. I have a few people right now that Definitely wants to boost. With myself included, I have about 3 or 4 others. We are very willing to help others as long as we can get the achievements too. All in all, this boosting session needs to be done on the weekends but can be done during the week. It all depends on what time every one can get on. I myself am in central time in the USA and can boost anytime. I am online a lot. If you are interested in boosting then message DarylDixon681 (that's me)letting me know that you want to boost. For the time being, those who want to boost should add one another as well as me and my friends, so we can find one another easier. And if people want to defriend one another after all MP Achievements have been gotten, that is fine. After all we are only here to help one another out. So please reply if interested.
