Section 17
It shall be the general duty of every local authority (in addition to the other duties imposed on them by this Part):
- to safeguard and promote the welfare of children within their area who are in need; and
- so far as is consistent with that duty, to promote the upbringing of such children by their families, by providing a range and level of services appropriate to those children's needs.
For the purposes of this Part a child shall be taken to be in need if :
He is unlikely to achieve or maintain, or to have the opportunity of achieving or maintaining, a reasonable standard of health or development without the provision for him of services by a local authority under this Part;
- His health or development is likely to be significantly impaired, or further impaired, without the provision for him of such services; or
- He is disabled, and "family", in relation to such a child, includes any person who has parental responsibility for the child and any other person with whom he has been living.
Section 27
Where it appears to a Local Authority that any authority or other person mentioned in subsection could, by taking any specified action, help in the exercise of any of their functions under this Part, they may request the help of that other authority or person, specifying the action in question.
An authority whose help is so requested shall comply with the request if it is compatible with their own statutory or other duties and obligations and does not unduly prejudice the discharge of any of their functions.
The persons are:
- any Local Authority,
- any local Education Authority;
- any local Housing Authority;
- any Health Authority; and
- any person authorised by the Secretary of State for the purposes of this section.
Every Local Authority shall assist any local education authority with the provision of services for any child within the local authority's area who has special educational needs.

- is the subject of an Emergency Protection Order; or
- is in Police protection; or
- have reasonable cause to suspect that a child who lives, or is found, in their area is suffering, or is likely to suffer, significant harm, the authority shall make, or cause to be made, such enquiries as they consider necessary to enable them to decide whether they should take any action to safeguard or promote the child's welfare.
6.2 Children Act 2004
The Children Act 2004 introduces additional requirements to safeguard and promote children's welfare including new statutory duties.
Section 10
Requires each Local Authority to make arrangements to promote co-operation between the authority, each of the authority's relevant partners and such other persons or bodies, working with children in the local authority's area, as the authority consider appropriate. The arrangements are to be made with a view to improving the well-being of children in the authority's area - which includes protection from harm or neglect alongside other outcomes. This Section of the Children Act 2004 is the legislative basis for children's trust arrangements.
Section 11
Requires a range of organisations to make arrangements for ensuring that their functions, and services provided on their behalf, are discharged having regard to the need to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. (See Section 2 of these procedures).
Section 12
Enables the Secretary of State to require local authorities to establish and operate databases relating to the Section 10 or 11 duties (above) or the section 175 duty (below), or to establish and operate databases nationally. The section limits the information that maybe included in those databases and sets out which organisations can be required to, and which can be enabled to, disclose information to be included in the databases.
Section 13
Requires a range of organisations (see table) to take part in Local Safeguarding Children Boards. Sections 13-16 set out the framework for LSCB's, and the LSCB regulations, issued for consultation alongside this document, set out the requirements in more detail in particular on LSCB functions.
Section 53
Amended Sections 17 and 47 of the Children Act 1989 so that before determining what if any services to provide a child in need under Section 17 or actually to be taken with respect of a child under Section 47 the wishes and feelings of the child should be ascertained as far as is reasonable and given due consideration.
6.3 Education Act 2002
Section 175
Puts a duty on local education authorities, maintained (state) schools, and further education institutions, including sixth form colleges, to exercise their functions with a view to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children - children who are pupils and students under 18 years of age, in the case of schools and colleges.
7. And the same duty is put on Independent schools, including Academies, by regulations made under Section 157 of that Act.

6.6 The Education (Pupil Information) (England) Regulations 2000
(SI 2000/297) (as amended by SI 2001/1212, SI 2002/1680, SI 2003/1006 and SI 2004/1377)) govern the transfer of information from a maintained school (the old school) when a child moves to a new school. Regulation 10 (3) provides that the head teacher of the pupil's old school, or, if it has been agreed between the head teacher and the LA, the LA shall send information (the Common Transfer File and Educational records) to the pupil's new school within 15 school days of the pupil's ceasing to be registered at the old school.
The Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006
(SI No.1751) require all schools to keep admissions and attendance registers, and prescribe the particulars that must be contained in these registers.
They also specify the grounds upon which a pupil's name must be deleted from the admission register and the returns that every school shall make to the LA.
The regulations state that pupils who have been continually unauthorised absent from school for 20 school days must not be deleted from the admission register until both the school and the LA have failed, after reasonable enquiry, to ascertain where the pupil is.
Further: Regulation 12(1) requires every school to inform the LA about every registered pupil who fails to attend regularly or has been absent without reason for at least 10 school days continuously; Regulation 8 (1) (d) states that pupils can be deleted from the school roll where the school has received written notification from the parent that the pupil is receiving education otherwise than at school.
Regulation 12(3) specifies the particular grounds listed under Regulation 8 where schools shall make a return to the LA as soon as the ground for deletion is met in relation to that pupil, and in any event no later than deleting the pupil's name from the register. This includes pupil's deleted under Regulation 8 (1) (d) above.
The Education Act 2002 Section 175
Require LEAs, governing bodies and proprietors of maintained schools to make arrangements to ensure that they safeguard and promote the welfare of pupils and, in doing so, have regard to any guidance issued by the Secretary of State. This includes arrangements to take all reasonable measures to ensure that risks of harm to children's welfare are minimised and take appropriate actions to address concerns about the welfare of a child.
The Education Act 2002 Section 157
And The Education (Independent Schools Standards) (England) Regulations 2003 - require proprietors of Independent schools to have arrangements to safeguard and promote the welfare of children who are pupils at the school.
6.7 The Non-Maintained Special Schools Regulations 1999
Require the governing bodies of non-maintained special schools to make arrangements for safeguarding and promoting the health, safety and welfare of pupils at the school as approved by the Secretary of State.

I've just uploaded an article I wrote about customising one of the starter kits in the C# Express edition of Beta 2 for the July 2005 edition of International Developer Magazine.
This month was a great month for C# Express exposure with 3 of the top computer mags in the country including it on their cover CD and devoting as many as 4 pages to a walk-through tutorial. Kudos to Finula for making this possible, and extra kudos to International Developer, Atomic and PC Authority for carrying the stories.

Meet Flo Rida's gold chrome Bugatti Veyron
But Flo Rida's lust for shiny cars didn't end there.
Perhaps determined to outdo the owner of this red chrome Veyron, Flo Rida recently called Florida's Metro Wrapz and requested an even tackier flashier finish: gold chrome.
Of course, you can't drive a gold Veyron and not have matching gold wheels, so Flo Rida also had Metro Wrapz install a set of gold-plated wheels from Forgiato.
Metro Wrapz, whose slogan is "Go Chrome or Go Home," has also done work for numerous celebrities including Lebron James, Rashad Jones and Pitbull. Some of the company's other creations include a Hulk-themed Lamborghini Gallardo and a fleet of cars for the Miami Dolphins football team.

Oswaldo Lopez charged in Denver hit-and-run crash that killed 11-year-old boy
DENVER - The driver suspected in a hit-and-run crash that killed an 11-year-old boy in west Denver was formally charged Thursday.
Oswaldo Lopez, 21, is accused of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and vehicular homicide, according to the Denver District Attorney's Office.
At about 8 p.m. Sunday, Lopez was driving at a high-rate of speed northbound on Federal Boulevard near Colfax Avenue when he struck Michael Espinoza, who was crossing midblock, prosecutors said.
Investigators said Lopez continued to drive away after the crash and did not stop to help the child.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators found part of a front bumper from a dark blue Dodge Charger and a front license plate at the scene. Officers found the car at an Aurora home and arrested Lopez.
7NEWS obtained a copy of the police report from Denver Police. It indicates that no "avoidance maneuver" was attempted by Lopez before the impact, and that the Dodge was moving at about 60 mph at the time.
Espinoza was hit while crossing the road from east to west and a diagram in the report indicates he was dragged down the road.
In December, Lopez was cited for careless driving in Denver. In that case, Lopez was ordered last month to attend a defensive driving school class called "Alive at 25," court records state. He has until March 3 to complete the course.
Lopez is scheduled to appear in Denver court on Feb. 24, to be formally advised of the charges.

IOWA CITY — The Iowa City Police Department hopes to have a body camera for every officer on the force by the end of the year.
According to Sgt. Scott Gaarde of the Iowa City Police Department, the body cameras offer police and the public a firsthand perspective of interactions, which can help determine fault or settle a disagreement after the fact.
Gaarde said the department hopes to have a fleet of more than 80 cameras. Officers are in the process of evaluating different options. They have been wearing body cameras since last year, but currently only have about a dozen.
The cost of the additional cameras could range from $200-$600 thousand, depending on the vendor, Gaarde said. Police plan to make that decision in the coming weeks so they can get the cameras by the end of the year.
Recent events in Ferguson, Mo. have sparked a national discussion on the value of having cameras mounted on officers during interactions with the public.
Iowa City police say they first started using cameras when they were mounted in police cars back in 1996.

When it comes to card fraud, you sense the threat. But do you really know how sophisticated and numerous the fraudsters have become? And how difficult it is for an individual institution working alone to protect itself?
Institutions everywhere report they're experiencing high fraud losses and yet are at a loss to explain why. As a result, they really have no idea how to mitigate them.
Here's the reality everyone is facing today: Debit card fraud is on the rise, and 72% of worldwide debit card fraud takes place with US-issued cards*. The very pace of fraud is increasing. Fraudsters come up with new attack methods day by day. This means more frequent breaches, with faster use of compromised card data.
Card fraud attacks are also going international. Offshore attacks are now 28% of the total and growing. A thriving black market makes it easier than ever for thieves to purchase skimming equipment and stolen card information online. Organized crime groups, particularly in Asia and Eastern Europe, are hard at work while you're closed and sleeping. They've figured out that the combination of more and more debit transactions at smaller financial institutions equals big opportunity.
If your institution is still conducting fraud management on its own, take this Risk Self-Assessment. Answer the 10 questions below, then click the What's My Risk? button for your customized assessment.

His new wife found out he'd been arrested when he never came back to the hotel, and she called the cops to report him MISSING. They told her he wasn't he was actually in one of their cells for soliciting a prostitute.

WoW.com's prestige in the community has afforded us the opportunity to speak with major Azerothian leadership figures on any subject, and we're letting you, the reader, Ask a Faction Leader!
Ask a Faction Leader has a storied history of presenting feature-length interviews with your favorite faction leaders, but today we're taking a slightly different approach. We asked you to send in questions for the leader of your choice, and today we'll -- err, they'll answer a smattering of those very questions.
Dear Regent-Lord Lor'themar Theron:
I noticed that, during the recent scuffle in Undercity, the armies of the Sin'dorei were not involved or invited to the conflict. It concerns me, what with the recent power struggles in the Orgrimmar, that it may seem as though we are not pulling our collective weight as members of the Horde. Do you happen to know why we were not represented as members of the task force set to retake the Undercity from the Scourge?
Sincerely yours,
Tejor Quel'Dalen, <Dark Guard>, Priest
-Somewhere in Northrend
Lor'themar responds:
Honestly, I couldn't tell you. We simply weren't asked. I did extrapolate a few possible reasons ... One moment, I wrote them down in my journal ... Ah, here we go.
The most likely scenario is simply this: It's possible that an elven heart still resides within the cold shell of the Dark Lady, even if it doesn't beat as it once did. No leader of the Horde, save for myself, understands the plight of the sin'dorei more than Sylvanas. It's due to her aid that we managed to secure the Ghostlands and drove the remaining Scourge out of Quel'thalas. She knows that the prolonged war with Arthas' forces weakened us, and perhaps considered it prudent not to send our fresh recruits and Northrend wounded into the Undercity against a plague that, I'll remind you, was designed not to harm the forsaken.
There are other scenarios, of course. I might have just lost the requisition form she sent. Losing a form! That would be the most exciting thing to happen to me personally in years. Besides growing this soul patch, anyway.
I was always curious what Thrall personally thinks of the individual faction leaders for the Alliance. Not as a group, but rather what does he think of King Varian and the rest of them as individuals.
Thrall responds:
I have not personally met many of the Alliance's leaders; however, those orcs among us who avoided or survived the blood craze have spoken highly of Prophet Velen's wisdom, despite the horrors we wreaked upon the draenei before going through the Dark Portal.
As for King Wrynn, I'm afraid I don't yet have a full opinion of the man. We've yet to have a meeting that wasn't punctuated by swordplay, bravado, epithets or mass teleports. And I fear we never will.
To the ever-radiant Lady Proudmoore,
I write to you with a question that has been on my mind since the colossal failure of that half-sized half-wit Fizzlebang. I must know -- what is your opinion of warlocks?
Fondly awaiting your reply,
Tomokei, Sin'dorei Arcanist of the Maelstrom
Jaina responds:
Thrall and I have had long discussions about warlocks, but we tend to come out on the same side of the argument: It's better to know who among your ranks is using fel magic and monitor it than to outlaw it completely. Making someone an outlaw is the first step to making him a hero for his peers, and making him a hero is the first step to making him a martyr. Even when we're surrounded by the walking dead, one human death can still mean something. Better to have that kind of energy on our side, even if we consider it unsavory. It's far better than the alternative.
Besides, though we triumphed at the Sunwell Plateau, the Burning Legion threat still lives on in the vastness of the Nether. Who better to understand the workings of demons than demons themselves? Knowledge is key, and Light knows that all I've been trying to do this whole time is study.
Dear Alexstrasza the Life-Binder.
There's a been things that I've wondered for some time now.
On some occasions, I've heard you refer to the other Dragon Aspects as siblings. For example, when I helped you bring down Malygos in Eye of Eternity, you referred to him as "brother."
I do know that Lady Ysera is your younger sister, but what about the other 3 aspects: Nozdormu, Malygos and Neltharion (or Deathwing,as he is seen these days) ... do you really have a blood-tie to them? It's been quite confusing to me...
Also, please do greet Lord Krasus for me ;)
Meijju Sabermoon
Agent of the Red Dragonflight
Alexstrasza responds:
All of the Aspects share a bond that reaches beyond blood; though Ysera is indeed my younger sister by blood, she would be no less my sister otherwise. I shall always consider Malygos and Nozdormu my brothers, regardless of heritage or circumstance.
Neltharion ... Deathwing .... gave up any claim to the title millennia ago.
Your majesty, King Magni Bronzebeard,
As a concerned dwarvish citizen, I want to know how you plan to sustain the Ironforge economy should Operation: Gnomeregan succeed. I am a leader in explosion damage repair, and fear for my small business.
Magni responds:
Ah, ye needn't worry, Nair. So long as gnomes are flittin' about, they'll always need our help to patch up walls, floors and more often than not, themselves. Some things gnomes how to do best: makin' wee gadgets, fer example, and blowin' 'emselves up. I'm just glad to see they're finally takin' back their city. Not that I mind 'em bein' 'round, mind ye. But such a big operation might put some o' that energy they normally put toward blowin' holes in Ironforge to good use!
But, ye know. Learnin' of our ... how did Mekkatorque put it ... "lithogenesis," I think it was, has put a lot into perspective for us dwarves, and knowin' that the gnomes were wee automatons once makes their odd behavior a bit more reasonable. They can't help the tinkerin'. Maybe the explosions we could back on a wee bit, but then, ye wouldn't like that very much, would ye?
That's all for this week's Ask a Faction Leader. The open format will likely continue for another week or two, so feel free to send your questions in to email@example.com with the subject line "AAFL" if you'd like your question answered in the column. Got an idea for a faction leader that'd make a great full-length interview subject? We take requests!

Gorilla Glue
Submitted by tiedyepie
- http://www.gorillaglue.com/
- $7 (US, estimated)
Gorilla Glue is a two-part glue that works on everything: stone, wood, metal, concrete, you name it. The strength is easily comparable to JB-Weld, but the second part is water, so you only have to keep one bottle on hand. Also needs no pre-mixing; just moisten the surface and apply. It foams up and fills gaps, then hardens but stays sandable. Just keep it away from your dog; apparently pets find it delicious. They also make an excellent tape called Gorilla Tape.
Available at most hardware stores, the internet, and even some art supply stores.

Not as strong as yellow wood glue
You must be logged in to reply.
Although this glue claims to be the "toughest glue on planet earth" it is not as strong as simple yellow wood glue such as Titebond and is much more expensive. With access to an Instron test machine in grad school I conducted a set of double cantilever specimen debonding tests that showed the yellow glue to be both stronger and tougher than Gorilla glue. Gorilla glue's foaming action could possibly result in superior bonds when using some materials, but not with wood such as the maple samples used in my tests. FYI.
Posted by jmengel on January 02, 2007 at 21:37:44 Pacific Time
two parts?
You must be logged in to reply.
Every bottle of gorilla glue I've used over the past few years comes in a single bottle of one part. The directions recommend moistening surfaces if they are dry, but I've only found that necessary when it is really dry out. The humidity here in the swamps of central Ohio is usually enough...
My only complaint is that it doesn't work well when it is really cold out. In those conditions I usually reach for Titebond III.

|Normal skeletal muscle Na(+)-K(+) pump concentration in patients with chronic heart failure.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11150968 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Intrinsic changes in skeletal muscle are being increasingly suspected as part of the underlying cause of exercise intolerance in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The objective of the present study was to determine whether differences existed between CHF patients and age-matched healthy controls in the concentration of skeletal muscle Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase), a cation pump that functions to restore Na(+)-K(+) gradients and protect membrane excitability. Moreover, given the potency for physical activity in altering long-term regulation of the pump, an additional objective was to examine the role of activity level in pump expression in CHF patients. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase concentration (pmol/g wet wt) determined in the vastus lateralis muscle of 27 CHF males (ejection fraction, 23 +/- 1.6%), using the vanadate facilitated [(3)H] ouabain binding technique, was not different (264 +/- 10) from 10 sedentary controls (268 +/- 19,P > 0.05). Similarly, no differences (P > 0.05) could be found between female patients (228 +/- 16, n = 7) and controls (243 +/- 13, n = 9). Differences between untrained control (294 +/- 20, n = 7), chronically active (251 +/- 20, n = 9), and trained (252 +/- 16, n = 6) CHF groups in Na(+)-K(+) pump expression were also insignificant. This study indicates that long-term regulation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase concentration is not altered in moderate CHF patients, regardless of the history of regular activity. However, the positive correlations (P < 0.05) that were observed between peak aerobic power (VO(2) peak) and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase (r = 0.422) and VO(2) peak and maximal citrate synthase activity (r = 0.404) suggests a role for the skeletal muscle in explaining exercise intolerance in CHF patients.

CNH sales increase 8 percent in 2012 despite dip in construction sales
Posted By Wayne Grayson On January 31, 2013 @ 11:15 am In Construction News | No Comments
[1]CNH Global announced today that it saw sales increase 8 percent in 2012 to $19.4 billion — no thanks to construction equipment.
Construction equipment sales dipped 3 percent to $3.8 billion. Picking up the slack was agricultural equipment sales which were up 10 percent to $15.7 billion. The breakdown of net equipment sales finished at 81 percent agricultural and 19 percent construction. North America claimed 44 percent of those sales.
The company's Equipment Operations division posted $1.7 billion in operating profit for 2012, or 8.6 percent of net sales. The division generated $979 million in 2012, down $118 million or 11 percent from 2011. Capital expenditures totaled $556 million, a 36% increase from 2011, mostly due to investments in new manufacturing sites and product launches in both agricultural and construction equipment.
Looking forward to 2013, CNH expects construction equipment to finish between flat and 5 percent. It forecasts agricultural equipment to be the same.

Course Overview
This course provides candidates with an opportunity to apply their expertise in curriculum design, instructional strategies, classroom management, and assessment to a K–6 educational setting. Mixing field observation experiences and full-time teaching, candidates utilize standards-based educational theories and practices daily in real-life teaching and learning environments.
In the course project, Student Teaching Portfolio Project I: Developing Effective Instructional Practices, each JIU teacher candidate develops a professional teaching portfolio. Components that make up the portfolio provide evidence of the teacher candidate's ability to (1) develop lesson plans that address diverse student needs; (2) utilize formal and informal assessments to measure and monitor student performance; (3) utilize effective classroom management and student engagement strategies; (4) exhibit professional and ethical practice that is responsive to evolving issues and environments; and (5) collaborate with school-based teams and parents to identify, address, and promote student achievement. The project is a key assessment for candidates in the MEd in Elementary Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment: Teacher Licensure program and it is designed to demonstrate mastery of Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI) professional standards. Candidates in this program also complete the following key assessments:

- Rehearse and develop classroom practices to manage time, communications, and record keeping procedures to support and enhance student learning.
- Develop classroom practices to manage behavior and motivate students.
- Respond to the needs and experiences children bring to the classroom, including those based on culture, community, ethnicity, economics, linguistics, and innate learning abilities.
- Discuss learning exceptionalities and conditions that affect the rate and extent of student learning, and adapt instruction for all learners.
- Collaborate with other educational professionals to accomplish school, district, and state educational goals and objectives.
- Use teaching strategies, planning practices, assessment techniques, and appropriate accommodations to ensure student learning in a standards-based curriculum and communicate those plans to parents, guardians, professionals, administrators, and the community.
- Describe and apply the use of Colorado Academic Standards (or applicable state standards) in elementary curricula, especially in literacy and assessment.
- Demonstrate your professional accomplishments gained from student teaching and mastery of all course learning objectives through a portfolio project.

Oracle on Your iPhone: Design Patterns for Mobile, Compliments of ADF
Presenters: Ultan O'Broin, Director, User Experience, Oracle Applications User Experience, and Fusion UX Advocate; Lonneke Dikmans, Managing Partner for Vennster, and Oracle ACE Director
The workforce has changed—employees are mobile, work in varied locations, and expect technology to keep up with them. Almost all businesses support mobile devices in some fashion, and many are also producing their own mobile. Mobile design requires a deep understanding of its users, the tasks that need to be performed, and elegance in making these tasks easy to do. Oracle's Applications User Experience team and ADF have worked together to produce smartphone design patterns that will allow you to get started now on your mobile apps. The patterns include how to design your navigation, to the best layout of a list, to making edits on a business object, to how to invoke actions that yield a simple and apparent way to complete a task. These patterns work well across platforms (e.g. iOS, Android, and BlackBerry) and are supported by ADF. They have been vetted in Oracle's own mobile products (e.g., Sales, Time Entry, Expenses, Field Service), and work across different user roles and product lines. Using ADF to build Oracle's mobile design patterns will get you quickly and efficiently to a smartphone application that your users will find intuitive, easy, and productive to use. Don't re-create the wheel; start driving now!

This topic has been brought up a few times already but where are the STICKERS? Just imagine BPL stickers at all the TH across the nation and beyond. Come on staff people Spring is just around the corner and then its officially backpacking season. What up?
It'a always backpacking season you wuss. ;)
Here's a BUMP for ya Chad! Go with Less and Travel more!
Feather MTN Patches!Cuben background w/ black Dyneema Feather Mtn Logo. Only grams! + you can put it on your pack and take it with you.
Since most of my hiking trips involve a flight first, I want a patch!
You know we all could just get a tattoo of the BPL logo. I bet it would only add a fraction of a gram to our skin to out weight. Then we could ask other cute members "wanna see my tattoo?" :P
Generally a couple of important inking rules that you follow, never ever get a name or a band tattoo'd. I never thought "never tattoo your favorite website" would get added to that list. Ah the modern age we live in :P Actually though as I sit and look at it, the logo itself would be a pretty cool tattoo. lol This could be dangerous as the window of my home office looks directly upon VIP Tattoo Studio :P
Somehow...whenever I look at the logo I see a woolly mammoth with his trunk up in the air. Just look at the section in white.
I see the wooly mammoth!
I think that those who have the lifelong membership should get the tattoo. :P
"I think that those who have the lifelong membership should get the tattoo. :P"On their trunks?
"On their trunks?"Whatever you kids call it these days.-Yeah, to be a Lifer is free, but you gotta post a pic of your Feather Mtn/ Woolly Mammoth tat
The thing with BPL's logo -- I see the mammoth instantly -- while I need to really focus and concentrate to tease out the feather image!!But one can certainly do worse than a BPL tattoo -- get a load of this guy -- creepy!!
"On their trunks?"The guy that did my tat commemorating a through hike of the SHT says he has a star inked on the tip of his willy. He said the ink was self applied over a dozen sessions. I did not ask to see that tat. :P

Capped, flutter, short, long, flared, three-quarter. There are a variety of ways a designer can create a sleeve on a wedding dress, and for Spring 2014 weddings brides will have a variety of sleeve style to choose from. While modesty and a religious ceremony are some of the reasons a bride may opt for a wedding gown with sleeves, they're also on trend with many A-listers donning sleeves of varying lengths at red carpet events.
Here are some of the stunning bridal gowns with sleeves available to brides in the coming months:

I love making pizzas at home. With a few simple tricks, they are easy to make, and the choice of toppings are nearly endless, making it easy to catere to everyone's tastes, and even the changing seasons. Here, I show you how to make a sun dried tomato and goat cheese pizza.
Italian Recipes
This is a debugging block

Spaghetti Pomodoro
Over the years, I've learned that Spaghetti is not Spaghetti, is not Spaghetti. The rich, and wonderful tomato sauce that my mom made us growing up, is closest to a Bolognese sauce. On the much lighter, faster, and easier to cook end of the spectrum is a Pomodoro sauce. Pomodoro is meant to be a fast and easy tomato sauce with a relatively few, fresh ingredients.
Spinach Salad
Spinach Salad, may not sound like the most exciting recipe in the world. But what if I add in words like bacon, bacon vinaigrette, apple, feta? Becomes a bit more tantalizing doesn't it? This spinach salad is one of my favorites for a starter course, or as a side salad for say a big summer BBQ. It's easy to make, the favors work great together, and it looks beautiful.
Saltimbocca, in Italian, means "jumps in the mouth", and after tasting this chicken saltimbocca you'll understand why. Traditionally, the recipe is made with veal, but because chicken is easier to get and a bit healthier, I usually make it using boneless skinless chicken breasts.
Tuscan Grilled T-Bone
T-Bone Steak, also called The Porterhouse, is my goto when whenever I'm feeling a bit indecisive. I love a New York Strip, and I love Filet Mignon, but when I want both, I go to the T-bone, where one side of the "letter shaped" bone is the filet, and the other the strip; I get the best of both worlds.
Bacon and Green Onion Pizza
Bacon and onions just go together really well. So why not on pizza? Making pizza's at home is always a hit with my family. Partly because, everyone gets to choose their own toppings. For this pizza, I when with a combination of freshly sautéed bacon and green onions, or scallions.
Pork Tenderloin Marsala
A few years ago, I made a Pork Tenderloin Marsala for the first time, for the simple reason that I didn't have any chicken handy. And while Chicken Marsala may be more the common, the wine flavored mushroom sauce goes really well with a perfectly cooked piece of pork tenderloin.
New York Steak With Garlic Parsley Butter
New York Strip, is one of my all-time favorite cuts of steak. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, the New York Strip has great favor, a tender texture, and is perfect with all the traditional steakhouse side dishes. The quality the meat, as always is super important, and here I'm cooking some of the best from Certified Steak and Seafood.
Tuscan Roast Chicken
Roast Chicken is a favorite of mine. And while a simple chicken, roasted off with nothing more than salt and pepper, is absolutely wonderful, there are fortunately hundreds of ways to make roast chicken is other interesting and exciting ways.
Spaghetti with Artichokes and Tomato
Simple dishes like this Spaghetti with Artichokes and Tomato, are among my favorite thing to make. The sauce takes just about the same amount of time, as cooking the spaghetti it self. So it's super fast to make. And treated right, the ingredients come together in perfect harmony, giving a ton of flavor and the impression, that it's a recipe you've been working on for hours.

'Wonderful: our visit is an annual highlight,' says a regular correspondent. This house is run in a personal style by owners, John, 'a welcoming and chatty host' and Ricky, who cooks the 'very good' evening meals. There is good walking, mountain biking and fishing."

Anglers were out in force in front of our home today enjoying the first day of fishing this year. Talyllyn is famous for its brown trout and last year we contributed to some of its stocking by putting in fish in the Rectory Pool at the bottom of our garden.

mcminone.com is also a great supplier for Sony & many other makes parts, but is a bit higher priced. But you should be able to find the right KSM there.

Floric, please go to http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/cdfaq.htm
This website has many cd player problems and fixes. Anybody who is interested in CD / DVD players should read this.
Try to repair the old assembly before considering buying a new one since they are so hard to find. Hopefully, you will be able to get another CD player that uses the same mechanism as yours for parts. I get all my parts except motors and optical pickups (unless good) from "donated" equipment.
First of all, check the motors. Inspect top bearing for wear (bottom bearings are probably not exposed). If okay, clean and lightly lubricate (only if it is needed) using lightweight oil on both sled and spindle motor. You only need to use a little! Using a toothpick with some oil on it makes it alot easier.
Next, remove, inspect for wear, and clean all gears for sled mechanism. When cleaning the gears, use a old toothbrush. This helps alot especially when cleaning the teeth on the optical pickup. It will be good as new. While the gears are out, clean and lightly regrease (silicon based) chrome bar. Afterward, manually check for smooth movement of pickup.
Finally, lightly regrease (silicion based) all gears and again check for smooth movement of pickup.
I have also read some pickups can be cleaned internally.

I need to point one last thing out. After in-depth research, some older cdplayers (some new ones also) cannot properly read extended play discs. It has something to due with the gearing ratio in the sled mechanism. This explains why my newer portable Panasonic CDP and my older Aiwa 3 disc CDP have similiar problems with the same disc. My DVD player on the other hand, reads the disc perfectly.
This is because DVD players need a different gear ratio to read the tracks (DVD has a much smaller track width than a CD). Extended play discs can have a (not always) slightly smaller track width to fit all the needed info on the disc.
Sled motors can only move so slow. The gear ratio can make or break how accurately the pickup reads the data. My CDPs do not mess up on the end track. It can be anywhere on this disc. I just wish it wasn't on my favorite disc: Roger Waters In the Flesh (big Pink Floyd fan).
Hopefully, we will get lucky and get ours to work properly. If not, I will just use my dvd player with my changer.

I have checked mcminone.com for this part. It is not available on the website nor the catalog. The only thing that comes close is on Dalbani.com. Look for SONY CD MECHANISM KSM-212ABM. The only difference is a KSS-212A pickup is used. The problem is I have heard never use a A type pickup to replace a B for performance reasons.

Thank you for your answer e_c,
I know the repair-faq you mentioned. According to that page I have dismounted and cleaned the complete mechanism (without the laser itself). For the cleaning I used a little brush and bluetac for the gears (works really good).
After that I greased all the parts that were greased before. I used "vaseline" that time - this is a very good grease that tends to harden by the time but it was the only thing that I had at hand that time and I wanted to make a test.
Now my cd-player plays all my cds again but in the gaps between the tracks there is sometimes (often) a short noise (from the transport and through the speakers) as if the laser would jump a little. An inspectation of the transport showed that the gears - not only one and also the teeth of the sled are worn out. I think that it would be an advantage to have a second mechanism to swap if the old one fails. There is one shop
in Germany (german website) which sells the ksm2101bam for a reasonable price, the -aam is not available there, another shop sells it for four times the price (120) but that's too much I think.
I think, I will give the -bam a try and I will report my results here.
Thank you very much

Does anyone know where I can get specs on differnet optical pickups?

I'm not shure if the specs are published anyway. I think the manufacturer has the opinion, that they are not needed. Even the Sony support does not know much about them ("If you have a XXX, replace it with XXX...").
But maybe there is anyone with more information.
Have a nice Weekend

You will note, that three different laser diodes there are in use:
1) SLD104U or SLD104AGL, not to find about
SONY datasheet pdf catalog
I have found datasheet only about the successor type:
(see attachement)
If you have an exemplare with laserdiodes about No 2 and No 3, you have a long live version
All laser units (so called "optical pick up") that have inside the SLD104U, are short live versions, even the complete optical pick up is an other brand than Sony. This I have find out about the SF91 (SF-91) from Sanyo. All SF91-exemplares that I had to replace (I have make the authorized service for the older Cambridge Audio models CD-4, CD-6 and CD-T/Discmagic), had inside Sony's SLD-104U, while other SF-91 exemplares, who still perfect work until today (after more than 10 years), had inside a RLD-78 laser diode version from the brand name Rohm.
Similare situation is to observe by "criminally crappy CDM12" series from Philips. This optical pick up's uses a hologram laser (include integrated foto diode matrix and high frequency pre amplifier stages) instead a simply laser diode. Comes this hologram diode from Sharp, a very large reliability and lifetime are to expect. In all other cases it is not so (particularly by optical pick up as replacement for service except that one for juke boxes and other professional stuff).
Interest to know is, that are the diodes itself as original Sharp part much more expensive than a complete optical pick up for CDM12.4
Read in this case the follow threads and the additional photos about the attached links there:

Summary of the 1/5/05 12 UTC Model Forecasts
The Eta and other models were forecasting a significant precipitation event early on the 6th, with a significant portion of the precipitation over northeast Pa forecast to be freezing rain.
The precipitation would be driven by persistent favorable dynamics in the right rear quad of an upper level jet, including a strengthening 850 mb southerly jet and unusually high values of precipitable water.
A significant northerly agesotrophic wind component was being forecast below 900 mb during the event.
1000-900 mb easterly low-level flow was forecast to be associated with near neutral temperature advection through 12 UTC, while strong warm advection and upward vertical motion was forecast aloft.
The ageostrophic wind appeared to be in response to strong frontogenesis.
Surface pressure falls were forecast over the eastern Great Lakes in association with deepening low pressure in that area. High pressure was forecast to retreat across eastern New England.

(Contract to sell Solar Energy to Southern California Edison)….It is two 20-year power purchase agreements.
Silver Ridge Power LLC and 8minutenergy Renewables LLC signed the agreements to sell 406 megawatts of solar energy from the Mount Signal Solar Farm 2 and Mount Signal Solar Farm 5. Construction of the solar farms is expected to employ 1,500 people. There could be a problem, or at least a snag in the plans. District 3 County Supervisor Mike Kelley said this week that he has been told by local growers that part of the land under consideration for the proposed solar farms is on prime farm land. Kelley said it was never intended to take prime farmland out of production to be used for solar farm development. Kelley said he would have the local growers discuss their concerns with the full board at a future date.

And what about strawberries in your garden? Is not it a nice idea? Have a good evening, Mister Zsolt.
Lovely capture! roses were never my fave. but with the vibrant colours its hard to dimiss the mood they add to our surroundings.
Believe it or not, I love the shades of green & the dark shadows more than the flowers :)
Wonderful, wonderful garden.

DALLAS -- The second week in September is a time of uncertainty for a college football team, but there are two aspects of today's game with SMU that UTEP takes for a given.
The troubling fact for the Miners is they know the Mustangs will be better than the Stony Brook team that took them to overtime last week. The good news is that's one of many things UTEP knows about SMU.
A week after getting dismantled in every way in the opening 30 minutes of the season by a team they knew little about before finally getting a break to make some adjustments, UTEP faces a familiar opponent it can plan for.
"It makes watching film a lot easier," said receiver Donavon Kemp, who spent last week watching some old Stony Brook game tape and some old Rhode Island film since that's where the Seawolves' new defensive coordinator coached last year. "Everything is right there instead of having to watch one team, because that's where the defensive coordinator was and another team to see Stony Brook personnel.
"It always helps knowing a team. We'll have the right players and the right plays for their defense."
That proved to be a massive problem last week when UTEP's game plan ended up being a terrible fit for what Stony Brook was doing. They tried to pound the ball at a team that was bigger than they thought they'd be and were baffled defensively by bootlegs, rollouts and motion they didn't anticipate.
After being outgained 299 yards to 70 in the first half, UTEP had a 331-111 advantage in the second half after it made adjustments.
SMU coach June Jones certainly noticed that.
"They faced a different kind of offense that they hadn't seen before, so there were a lot of things that they probably hadn't worked on defensively," he said.
UTEP is sure its plan for an SMU team it plays every year is better suited to what the Mustangs will do.
"You could tell we were a little confused last week," linebacker Royzell Smith said. SMU's "offense resembles our offense, so we should know what we're doing. We're ready to go."
Defensively that actually means stopping the run, which isn't something normally said about a Jones team. Zach Line, a 230-pound tailback, rushed for 128 yards against Texas A&M last week and he's UTEP's defensive focus.
"The first thing on my mind is stopping the run," middle linebacker Jeremy Springer said. Line "is a big guy, but he runs like he's 190 pounds. He's a great running back with great feet and he runs hard."
Springer said one key defensively will be playing smarter than UTEP did a week ago.
"It's coming out looser and having our eyes right," he said. "Last week, we didn't have our eyes right and that starts with me. I wasn't doing my assignment right."
"Stop the run first," safety DeShawn Grayson said. "It's easier when you know the other team. We know their guys by name. When I get on the field, I'll be calling them by name."
Offensively, UTEP should be better up front after getting injured guards Jerel Watkins and James Robinson back in the lineup. While SMU struggled to stop A&M, the Miners still feel this is one of the better defensive teams they will see in Conference USA.
Still, there is a familiarity factor.
"Last year, we did really well against them," said quarterback Nick Lamaison, alluding to a 28-14 upset against SMU. "The coaches have a really good concept of what they do. We definitely know what to expect a little more, especially with them already having played a game.
"I'm definitely a lot more comfortable having the first game out of the way. Doing well at the end gives you a confidence boost to ride into the next game."
UTEP is hoping that, plus seeing some familiar uniforms on the other side of the ball, will lead to a better start than a week ago.

It's never been like this in the Pac-10.
The conference that gave us Elway, Leinart, Plunkett, Aikman and Fouts, also has given us Best, Blount, Rodgers, Gerhart, and Grigsby. The first set of five names you recognize as some of the best quarterbacks in Pac-10 history. The next five represent another bit of history. According to the conference, there have never been five returning 1,000-yard rushers in the Pac-10.
They are:
Jahvid Best, Jr., Cal -- Despite missing a game, Best rushed for 1,580 yards last season and will be on everyone's Heisman list. Or should be.
LeGarrette Blount, Sr., Oregon -- Chip Kelly has made Oregon into an offensive powerhouse, particularly on the ground. The Ducks have finished in the top six in rushing each of the last two seasons. Kelly lost one 1,000 yard rusher (Jeremiah Johnson) and gets another. The punishing Blount ran for 1,002 yards.
Jacquizz Rodgers, Soph., Oregon State -- The Pac-10's offensive player of the year ran for 1,253 yards as a freshman despite missing two games. How could we forget that Thursday night against USC?
Toby Gerhart, Sr., Stanford -- Set the school rushing record with 1,136 yards and scored 15 touchdowns in '08.
Nic Grigsby, Jr., Arizona -- The Cats' first 1,000-yard rusher since 2001.
Picking the Pac-10 ...
1. USC -- Expect at least a share of an eighth consecutive Pac-10 title. Expect an eighth consecutive BCS bowl (probably Rose). Don't expect me to tell you the starting quarterback. Aaron Corp started the spring game, but true freshman Matt Barkley has made tremendous strides. Corp may start the season but Barkley might be the guy by the end. The defense and offensive line (Pete Carroll's best ever at USC) can hold the Trojans in the national championship race if the qbs struggle.
2. Oregon -- Kelly has gone from New Hampshire offensive coordinator to Oregon head coach in less than three years. He will take over officially on July 1. Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli started as a fifth-stringer, then accounted for 23 touchdowns under Kelly in 2008. Normally, a head-coaching change would signal a drop in the standings. But Kelly has had enough time in the program to get familiar. Don't forget the Ducks were a top 10 team last season. Welcome to the big time, Chip .The season kicks off at Boise.
3. Cal -- Jeff Tedford has brought stability to Berkeley, but no Rose Bowls. It's been 50 years and counting for the Bears since their last trip to Pasadena -- for a bowl game. Tedford, the quarterback wizard, has been pumping out running backs in recent years while quarterback play has slipped. Aaron Rodgers was the last serviceable signal caller. That was five years ago. Inconsistent Kevin Riley gets the job this season. Best will have to relieve the pressure.
4. Oregon State -- Twenty-eight victories the past three seasons. Two wins over USC. Never, ever doubt Mike Riley. Even though his defense has to rebuilt, the Beavers are going to be a pain again this season. Four of the five starters on the offensive line are back. Rodgers' shoulder is healed. Lyle Moevao is a veteran quarterback. Expect at least eight wins.
5. UCLA -- The Bruins could be the most improved team in the Pac-10. Interception machine Kevin Craft is gone. In his place is redshirt freshman Kevin Prince. Sixteen starters return and defense is not the problem. The Bruins had the second-best total defense in Pac-10 play. Until Neuheisel actually performs in Westwood, though, I will relegate them to this spot.
6. Arizona State -- The Sun Devils (5-7) were one of the most disappointing teams in the country last season. Don't be surprised if Arizona State repeats that record. The strength lies with the defense where end Dexter Davis has 10-plus sacks each of the past two seasons. Chris McGaha is a fine pass catcher who led the Devils two years ago (830 yards). Dennis Erickson must first get some consistency out of an offensive line that has surrendered a staggering 89 sacks the past two seasons.
7. Arizona -- The Wildcats have the worst Pac-10 record this decade (24-51) but seem to be on the rebound. Despite losing firestarter Willie Tuitama, coach Mike Stoops could make it to a second consecutive bowl. He will have to deal with a non-conference trip to Iowa, plus having only four conference home games (five away). Either Matt Scott or Nick Foles, both sophomores, will replace Tuitama. They have 11 career pass attempts between them.
8. Stanford -- Jim Harbaugh might be the most coveted 9-15 coach in the country. His name continues to come up when other jobs open up. The Cardinal have improved, coming within a season-finale loss to Cal of being bowl eligible. Gerhart and Andrew Luck give Stanford a chance this season. Luck, a sophomore, threw five touchdowns in the spring game. They're here because the Cardinal open with back-to-back road games (Washington State and Wake) and have to play seven teams that won bowl games.
9. Washington -- Steve Sarkisian can't lose. Well, he can but certainly at the level of last season's worst Husky team ever. Sark starts his head coaching career with Washington on a 14-game losing streak. Three wins would make him the mayor of Montlake. The Huskies have the talent to go 5-7. A healthy Jake Locker will make a difference under Sark. Everyone is looking forward to redshirt freshman tailback Chris Polk. Part of Sarkisian's job is getting the Huskies to believe they can win. The streak breaker should come in Week 2 against Idaho.
10. Washington State -- The Cougars won twice last season (one of them against Washington) but are in worse shape than their rivals. This could be one of the nation's worst programs again this season. Second-year coach Paul Wulff loses five starters from one of the worst defenses in Pac-10 history. That might be a good thing. The offense turned it over a staggering 25 times and gave up 43 sacks.

I've made a little progress on my bathroom makeover this week! I really wanted a functional way for my kids to keep their toothbrushes clean and have little toothpaste waste as possible. I've seen Mason Jar Storage all over blogland and Pinterest, I have no clue where the original source came from but whoever it was, genius. I now have adequate bathroom storage for my little one's toothbrushes since I ripped out the ugly medicine cabinet! Such attractive mason jar bathroom storage!
This was an easy project, I did it without the help of my hubby. I purchased 4 hose clamps from Lowe's ($1.20/each found in the A/C dept). I hammered a hole into the center of each backside then used a drill bit to open them up a little more. After marking them each a foot apart on my board, I screwed them into the board and tightened a mason jar into each one. I used a Kerr jar because it's lip let's it hang securely. A Ball brand jar would have to rely on it being tightened around the middle of the jar and I'm not confident it wouldn't slip and break.
Pretty easy, right? Love it!
I still have a lot more work to do but this has been a lifesaver! It's been a week and we haven't had any toothpaste all over the place. I think because I splurged at the dollar store and spent $4 on each kiddo's own toothpaste holder, they take pride in it and actually *gasp!* put the lid back on!! That's a mama's dream come true ;)
Tell me, where would YOU utilize this awesome mason jar trick? Be sure to visit ALL of our TUTORIALS, home improvement projects and DIY ideas like our craft room makeover,
