A. In a perfect world we'd all get enough sleep and always look fresh and rested. Of course that almost never happens, so we did some research for you.
First, the basics- make sure you stay well hydrated, get as much rest as you can (but not TOO much!), and reduce salt intake… after all, bags are really just fluid retention around the eye area that causes swelling, which in turn crates shadows and "darkness". In most cases the dark circles are blood vessels that can be seen through the skin, and nothing short of laser procedures to break up the pigmentation are going to get rid of them.
You can MASK them with concealer, and also with products made to reduce puffiness caused by lack of sleep, illness, or allergies— all of which cause the eye area to swell which in turn draw attention to the dark areas. For these, you don't need anti-aging eye creams loaded with wrinkle reducers… a simple, lightweight cream or gel with caffeine (caffeine constricts blood vessels, making them appear less prominent) should do the trick. We really like rollerballs, like the Garnier Nutritioniste Anti Puff Eye Roller. The bonus of the roller ball is that it gently massages the area, breaking up the pocket of collected fluid and alleviating the darkness.
To conceal, we swear by Lancomes Effacernes. Highly pigmented, thin and buildable so it never cakes, and best of all- WATERPROOF. A bit pricey for some at almost $30 a tube, but you use so little to get great coverage that a tube seriously lasts a year or more. If you need something heavier, check out this post we did last week on SmartCover. It seriously covers EVERYTHING.
(On a side note, anemia can also cause darkness under the eye, so if you're feeling tired all of the time— it may not be lack of sleep. It might be worth it to have a check up and ask the doctor to check your iron levels.)
Hope that helped!

How to Find the Big Dipper
Once you know how, it's easy to spot the Big Dipper in the norther hemisphere's summer sky. To really impress other stargazers, name all seven stars that make up the Big Dipper constellation.
1Choose a clear, dark night. The Big Dipper appears high in the night sky in spring and early summer. The best viewing time between March and June is around 10 p.m.Ad
2Look toward the north, tilt your head back so that you are looking up at the sky at about a 60 degree angle. During midsummer and autumn, the Big Dipper will be closer to the horizon, so don't look up quite so high.
3Find a group of stars that resemble a soup ladle. That's it! Count the seven stars. From the end of the "soup ladle" handle, the stars are: Alkaid, Mizar, Alioth, Megrez. Then going to the bottom left corner is Phad, then across to the bottom right corner is Merak, then the top right corner is Dubhe.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- The Big Dipper is part of a constellation known as Ursa Major, or the Great Bear. The Big Dipper is the Great Bear's tail.

This comment has nothing to do with the movie.

Fanboy heaven indeed. :DReplyDelete
Jet Li has quit doing kung fu epic movies (once upon a time in china, fearless and the like) saying he didn't have to prove anything on that genre any more. But he's still doing martial arts movies.
Obviously I'm a fan. hehe

Can someone tell me what EXACTLY happens at a Mawlid/Milad?
Would going to deliver/listen to a speech and Nasheeds about the beloved Prophet Sallallahu Alayhe Wasallam constitute as Mawlid? Is there a need for it in this day and age? Of course there is! Have I been to such gatherings? Yup, I have. If this is not Mawlid/Milad, then can someone please clarify the definition of Milad for me.
Ya akhi, the brother was merely trying to put his point across and bringing up the salaf and RasoolAllah (saw) was the essential point of his message. There was no "mudslinging" as you put it.Please refrain from bringing our Master Muhammad SAWS and the sahaba (RA) into your mudslinging.
After almost 7 whole months, finallyHanafi.co.uk has been updated. Any commnets?the Hanafi Forum? :mrgreen:
Yes this would be considered a mawlid, even doing salwatosalams is considered a mawlid.Originally Posted by eTeacher
I thought mawlid specifically referred to celebrating the birthday of RasoolAllah (saw)?
After almost 7 whole months, finallyHanafi.co.uk has been updated. Any commnets?the Hanafi Forum? :mrgreen:
Any sort of halal shariah based event or even action which is done for the sake of remembering and learning about the Prophets SAWS and his life and/or for promoting the praises of the Prophet SAWS is considered a Milad Shareef. These sorts of events tend to increase in number during the month of Rabi Al Awal, due to the prophet being born at this time, but this is not only the time that Milad should be done, we should always observe Milad, and I for one do so regularly, as the mosques I go to provide these events regularly. Unfortunately many lay persons think of large scale events held on the 12th of Rabi Al Awal as the only Milad events but of course they are not the only events that are. Usually any event including all or some of the stuff I have mentioned above is considered a Milad.
The sahaba (RA) celebrated Milad everyday of their lives because they always thanked ALLAH SWT for ALLAH SWT sending his mercy onto mankind and they had the best way of celebrating this by helping our beloved saws directly on his mission to spread Islam and the word of Allah.
Our beloved prophet SAWS also remembered his birthday by obserring fast on Monday(due to our beloved being born on this day), as reported in Sahih Muslim

"the loss incurred by us is no more than the loss incurred by the salaf by not celerbrating it so ndeed such a loss does not bother us."
i can't believe you wrote this brother. The sahaba were in constant praise and remebrance of the Prophet.
Abu Lahab who IS in hell is given a drop of water, because he freed a slave the day the prophet (s) was born.
Proof that even a kafir gets some respite for acting out of love for the prophet (s). While giants of this ummah have called mawlid an-nabi a praiseworthy act, there those who wish to say 'its no loss'!!!
And we wonder why we are a defeated ummah!!
Ok i dont know about canada lot but in us lot ere milad means celebrating the day the prophet sallahu alaihi wasallam was born.No body has any proof for it.Our ulama call it bid'ah.
I dont know what mawlid is can someone please explain?
And in milad over here so many naats go on with shirkia kalimahs and ofcourse that isnt jaiz to listen to wallahu aalam.
U tell me did the sahaba prophet tabi een and tabe tabe een do this? no and am sure we all know the definition of bid'ah.
All our ulama say it is bid'ah.Just the fact that all sorts go on in there.Ever listened to the naats being played there? And the na'aras with ya rasool madad? Does it make sense? Ofcourse not.
Too true.They say his every where the prophet was a human and a body how can one person be in moscow and engalnd at the same time.They say ALLAHGAVE HIM THE POWERS.iLike what man. Allah is not a body he is noor and noor can be everwhere at one time. Just bang over the wrong end and blame molana ashraf ali thanvi that he said it.Originally Posted by Abu Usama

Practicing ArchitecturePracticing Architecture
What's In? Micro-Units
From the AIA Young Architects Forum journal Connection comes the story of emerging professionals surveying their own generation of design-savvy urban dwellers to formulate a solution for an omnipresent problem: the mismatch between constricted urban real estate prices and appropriately sized rental units. The Boston architecture firm ADD Inc. looked for a way to alter the rental market in their city to make downtown, urban living more possible for the young designers, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals all cities need to attract to maintain their vitality. The solution was a very, very small discovery.
Q's story
The call to innovate
The mayor's staff responded by requiring any residential proposal in the waterfront area to have an innovation component, a policy change that kicked off a surge in smaller units, shared amenities, urban agriculture, and other new housing ideas. ADD Inc. was tasked with designing four of these projects and Tamara (with B.K. Boley, Design Principal-in-charge) realized that her team was lacking demographic information about emerging professionals on which to base their designs. With that, a housing research initiative called "What's In?" was born.
By mid-2011, Q had had enough rainy days to warrant a move back to Beantown. He landed his dream job at ADD Inc. and was asked to lead the What's In task force with Aeron Hodges. The team set out to answer one question: What is the appropriate design response to an emerging urban living environment where city-living is preferred but prohibitively costly for most people?
The big idea is little
As work progressed on Boston's new housing projects, What's In solicited feedback from outside voices to ensure that ADD Inc.'s designs would fit the needs of emerging professionals. Sure, 300-square-feet apartments worked on paper, but would developers and end users buy into the idea that going micro was the new way to live big? Even though Q didn't want much more than a small space to sleep, What's In needed to know if his peers had other demands for downtown digs. To find out, the group invited the target demographic, young professional aged 21-34, to participate in interactive forums designed to address three levels of urban living in Boston: neighborhood amenities, building amenities and apartment amenities.
Bringing the big idea to life
What's In is emerging architectural practice
Unlike conventional buildings that pack all common amenities on the ground floor, micro-unit buildings situate amenity spaces amongst the apartments on different levels to activate the structure in a new way. Fresh patterns of circulation for residents increase opportunities for interaction. Image courtesy of ADD Inc.
The most important features singled out by the What's In Project were a modern bath, a kitchenette, polished concrete floors, basic finishes, a bed alcove, decent storage, lots of natural light, and the opportunity for tenant-to-tenant customization. Image courtesy of ADD Inc.

This is bad and deserves|
This is bad and deserves swift justice. - Eric Ludy
AM 730 KWOA serves the AM radio listener area in Southwest Minnesota and Northwest Iowa with area news, sports and weather.
PIPESTONE – The animal rights group Mercy for Animals released an undercover video today that the they say depicts cruelty at a Pipestone hog farm, including slamming piglets to death on the floor. The hog farm management company says practices depicted in the video — including killing piglets through "blunt force trauma" — are all within hog industry guidelines.
The video from Mercy For Animals was taken surreptitiously on behalf of the group by an employee at Rosewood Farm, which is part of the Pipestone System, a group of over 200 hog farmers who share services.
The incident marks the second time in just over a year that Mercy for Animals has successfully planted an employee at a Minnesota hog farm. In July 2012, the group released an undercover video shot at a south-central farm owned by Christensen Farms, a major hog producer.
The Pipestone video, narrated by actor James Cromwell of the movie, "Babe," uses most of the same phrases and statements made in the Christensen video, which was narrated by Bob Barker. In the video, Cromwell encourages people to adopt radical vegan diets, but the main gist of both videos is to discourage people from buying Walmart pork.
With all of its farmers together, the Pipestone system is a major pork producer. The Rosewood Farm facility is owned by an affiliate of Randy Spronk, who is currently head of the National Pork Producers Council.
According to one report, Mercy for Animals asked a Pipestone County judge for a search warrant of Rosewood on the grounds of animal cruelty. The judge issued the warrant and the Pipestone County sheriff's office searched the operation. The Pipestone County attorney declined to press charges.
This is bad and deserves swift justice. - Eric Ludy

On June 17th, the Supreme Court decided to pass a "landmark decision" in regards to Salinas v. Texas which impacts how one can go about claiming the right to not incriminate oneself (otherwise known as "pleading the fifth"). The decision essentially stated that when an individual is not placed under arrest, the individual must explicitly evoke their 5th amendment right and that simply remaining silent does not mean their right has been evoked. Depending upon the circumstances, this silence can be used to infer possible guilt of the party in question.
To really understand the context of this ruling, let me first start with a quick background to this decision.
This all started with a murder case conducted in a Texas state court. In 1992, Houston police officers found two homicide victims. The investigation had then led officers to Genovevo Salinas. Salinas voluntarily agreed to accompany the officers to the police station, where he was then questioned. At this time, Salinas was not under arrest and had not been read his Miranda rights. Salinas had the ability to leave at any point while he was being questioned.
Salinas answered every question until an officer asked him whether the shotgun shells found at the scene of the crime would match the shotgun found in Salinas' home. At this point, the defendant fell silent and "looked down at the floor, shuffled his feet, bit his bottom lip, clenched his hands in his lap, and began to tighten up" (according to the statements made by the state prosecutor).
A ballistics analysis later matched Salinas' gun with the casings at the scene. Police also found a witness who said Salinas admitted to killing the victims. In 1993, Salinas was charged with the murders, but he could not be found until 15 years later.
During the trial, the prosecution introduced the evidence of Salinas' silence and body language in response to the question about the gun casings. Salinas objected, arguing that he could invoke his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination. The trial court admitted the evidence and Salinas was found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
The question boiled down to whether or not Salinas' body language is allowed to be presented as evidence.
I say YES!
First of all, Salinas had the ability to leave the questioning period any time he liked.
All of his answers from this questioning period were applicable to be used in court as evidence. Since he did not leave nor claim his right to not self incriminate, I believe that the answer his body language gave is also admissible in court.
There's been plenty of dissenting chatter in the public sphere about Supreme Court's decision to allow this piece of evidence stand. Personally, I think it's time for these chatters of dissent to stop. Ladies and gentlemen please plead the fifth!
Now we are all very familiar with our fifth amendment rights. Just to recap a bit, the pertaining part of the 5th amendment in this case is "No person shall be…compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself". There are other things the amendment guarantees such as our right in regards to double jeopardy, due process, and eminent domain. The important thing here to focus on is the ability to not self incriminate.
Some people will argue that to not self incriminate is a natural right.
I think they are only partially right.
If one really focused on the language of the Constitution, the key word is compelled. We are allowed the right to not be forced into incriminating ourselves but that does not stop you from doing it freely.
The Miranda rights are read to you because you are in custody, and you can't just get up and leave. If you had incriminated yourself without explicitly knowing your rights under these conditions, the law enforcement officers are essentially forcing incriminating evidence out of you.
Under a different circumstance where you basically waltz into a police department and partake in a questioning period willingly then… anything you say or may do are going to be used against you! (sound familiar?)
There has been all types of people have used their 5th amendment rights in the past, and some of them have gotten off clean while others haven't. People such as Don King, Colone Oliver North, Casey Anthony, and even O.J. Simpson have all claimed their right to not incriminate themselves when they were questioned, as well as they should have (and O.J. I'm talking about you especially).
Look, we have all watched enough Law and Order and CSI to know that when you are being questioned, and you get asked that one question where you might start to incriminate yourself…
What do you do?
You shut up and ask for a lawyer.
Salinas paid for his slip up during the questioning period, and he couldn't answer because he got nervous. The police had hit the nail on the head. If he was really trying to evoke his 5th amendment right, we would definitely all be made aware of it (it's really not that hard). He got nervous and couldn't answer because the bullet casings did fit his shotgun. He got nervous and couldn't answer because he did murder two innocent people in their own home. He got nervous and couldn't answer probably because he started planning for his 15 years of hide-and-seek with law enforcement.
The take away from this Supreme Court decision?
You have the right to not self-incriminate.

Gioseffe Zarlino
Italian musical theorist, b. at Chioggia in 1517; d. at Venice, Feb. 4, 1590
Zarlino, GIOSEFFE, Italian musical theorist, b. at Chioggia in 1517; d. at Venice, February 4, 1590. He studied for the Church and was ordained deacon in 1541, but became so devoted to music that he placed himself under the direction of Willaert at Venice. In 1564 he was elected successor to di Rore as first maestro di cappella at St. Mark's, Venice, a position he held till his death. One of his earliest compositions was an ode for the victory of Lepanto, October 7, 1571. Between the years 1566 and 1578 he composed seven masses and madrigals. In 1582 he was made a canon of Chioggia, and in the following year was elected bishop of that see, but declined the honor. He was buried in San Lorenzo, Venice, and, though his monument has disappeared, his bust is in the doge's palace. A medal was struck in his honor while still alive. His principal title to fame is his work as a musical theorist. He published three remarkable treatises at Venice, between the years 1558 and 1589. He only admitted twelve modes, beginning with the Ionian, thus practically laying the foundation of our present major and minor scales. His theories were disputed by his pupil, Galilei; Zarlino was, however, right. He suggested the division of the octave into twelve semi-tones, and also equal temperament for keyed instruments.

Apple offers to settle states' class-action e-book lawsuit
updated 01:21 am EDT, Tue June 17, 2014
Payout contingent on result of Apple's appeal of original verdict
Attorneys representing some 33 US states and territories along with some consumer groups on Monday filed a document with the court offering to settle the class-action lawsuit against Apple over alleged e-book price-fixing. The filing notes that all parties involved have agreed to the settlement, leaving Judge Denise Cote will little justification to deny it. Specific amounts were not mentioned in the agreement -- and in what could be a brilliant legal move, Apple's payment of anything is contingent on the verdict of the appeals court.
Cote has already acknowledged the letter by halting a trial scheduled for July that was set to determine damages, based on her original verdict in the federal e-book case. The consortium of plaintiffs was seeking as much as $280 million in damages from the alleged actions, but a willful finding (which seemed likely with Judge Cote again presiding) would have tripled the damages to as much as $840 million.
Specifics of the deal are currently sealed, pending a final settlement agreement that the court must approve -- which must be filed within the next 30 days. As part of the agreement filed today, however, any payment by Apple to the state attorneys general or the consumer groups depends on the finding of the appeal. Apple believes it has a strong case (supported by others) for winning at least a partial reversal of Judge Cote's decision, which has been widely criticized for both not being grounded in antitrust law as well as being a case of judicial overreach. If Apple does win on appeal, it may end up owing nothing to the civil litigants.
The company, which has vociferously denied any wrongdoing, was convicted by Cote in a bench trial of conspiring with publishers to push Amazon, then as now the dominant e-book seller online, into using a more publisher-friendly "agency" model of pricing (where the publishers can set the online price of books, sales and temporary promotions excluded) rather than Amazon's "wholesale" model, where the retailer bought books at an agreed on "wholesale" rate and then priced them as it wished.
Publishers were unhappy with Amazon because it was engaging in predatory loss-leader pricing of e-books in an effort to build the market and sell more of its own Kindle e-readers. As it has now begun doing again, Amazon would use its monopoly position to then renegotiate lower wholesale prices, hoping to boost profits but putting an economic squeeze on suppliers - exactly as publishers and critics predicted. It has now escalated an ongoing feud with Hatchette and opened up a new front against Bonnier Media Group. Various authors and the Author's Guild has openly accused the company of violating Section 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act itself, though the DOJ has thus far been mute regarding Amazon.
In court, numerous witnesses testified that moves were afoot among the publishers to put pressure on Amazon to revert to an agency model before Apple even began talking to publishers -- however, Judge Cote and the US Department of Justice discounted that testimony, and instead ruled that Apple had led the publishers in a conspiracy that sought to damage Amazon and raise bestselling e-book prices on consumers, though in fact e-book prices did and continue to fall on average.
Apple has had mixed results in attempting to roll back Judge Cote's draconian punishments. It was successfully able to reverse some of the more onerous aspects of the antitrust monitoring Judge Cote imposed, but not remove the monitor entirely (or at least until after the appeal was concluded, if still required). Much of her judgement, however, is still in force, including the barring of Apple from entering into any new agreements with publishers and other competitive disadvantages that have effectively handed back a monopoly on e-book sales to Amazon -- which the e-tailer is now openly abusing to wrangle better deals with publishers and other content providers, including Warner Bros.
The iPhone maker has had no luck at all in getting Judge Cote to dismiss or delay the class-action suit, but the new agreement may not only avoid any trebling of damages, but provide an end-run around the judge and the lawsuit itself, if Apple can manage a reversal on appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeal -- the same panel of judges that largely de-fanged Cote's antitrust appointee.

Ultimately, like a lot of things in a neighborhood like ours, this project has to be a labor of love because our community just doesn't have the financial infrastructure and business to support a site like the Rainier Valley Post."
Not every neighborhood news blog is struggling financially. At least one well-known site in Seattle not only draws enough revenue to completely support its editor and founder, it also brings in enough revenue to pay its contributors — a luxury that even the successful Next Door Media sites cannot match. The West Seattle Blog (WSB) is run by co-publishers Tracy Record, site editor, and her husband,

Skyrocketing wheat prices are pushing up the cost of flour.
Everything from pizza and pasta to bread and bagels are being impacted by the price spike.
Flour companies say farmers are switching from growing wheat to growing corn to make ethanol which hurts flour supplies and has pushed prices up 90 percent over the past month.
Now, bakers and pizza makers say they may have to pass some of the increase along to you.

Comments about San Francisco Giants Scrum Logo T-Shirt by '47 Brand:
I bought this T-shirt as a gift for my son-in-law, an SF fan. What I particularly like about it is the feel. It is like an "old" shirt you have had for ages. It is a Christmas gift, so has yet to be opened, however I am sure he is going to love it provided it fits.

For Release:May 13, 2014
C.A.R. applauds FHFA Director Melvin Watt for dismissing plan to reduce loan limits for Fannie, Freddie loans
LOS ANGELES (May 13) – The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) today issued the following statement in response to the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) announcement that it will not lower loan limits eligible for purchase by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
"C.A.R. commends FHFA Director Melvin Watt for his announcement today that the FHFA will not reduce loan limits on loans eligible for purchase by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac," said C.A.R. President Kevin Brown. "Lower loan limits would have had an adverse effect in many parts of the country, but especially here in California where rebounding home prices and decreasing home affordability would hamper mortgage activity and impact the housing recovery."
Earlier this year, the FHFA announced its intention of lowering the loan limits, and asked for public comment. Since then, C.A.R. and the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) aggressively fought to prevent a reduction in the loan limits.
In March, C.A.R. submitted a letter to Director Watt urging him not to decrease loan limits for Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Additionally, C.A.R. sponsored California Senate Joint Resolution 19, authored by Senator Lou Correa, a measure that would express the Legislature's opposition to a reduction of the current national and high-cost conforming loan limits for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. SJR 19 (Correa) passed the Senate as written and is awaiting assignment to the Assembly Banking and Finance Committee.
Leading the way...® in California real estate for more than 100 years, the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (www.car.org) is one of the largest state trade organizations in the United States, with more than 155,000 members dedicated to the advancement of professionalism in real estate. C.A.R. is headquartered in Los Angeles.

Howe Elementary School Reviews
My brother teaches at this elementary school. I have yet to visit, but look forward to doing so-----for I have heard nothing but positive things about this turn-around institution and program. The faculty and staff are motivated, energetic, and driven. The principal has been fundamental in driving results and bringing attention to the school's developments, improvements, and success. I even learned that the mayor of Chicago and educational board members visited and had a meeting at the school today! I cannot wait to follow and learn more about Howe Elementary's tremendous growth and the achievements of its students!
my school is amazing, so many improvements have been made in numerous ways.the teachers and staff is oustanding.i mean its like there is a better feeling surrounding and a higher quality education. you'd have to come to the school to whitness the excellence for yourself-though i do have to say theres nothing like actually taking part in the excellence
I graduated from Howe in 1990 and have fond memoies of this school. The teachers prepared me for High School & college. I pass the school everyday going to work unfortunately have not seen any physical improvements on the outside of the school but grateful for its presence in the Austin community!

Phil Twyford, Simon Randall and Ngarimu Blair setting off on the Hillary Trail
Walking the first leg of the Hillary Trail today between Arataki Visitor Centre and Huia, I was struck by how little we know about Phytophthera taxon agathis, the pathogen that is killing kauri trees.
I can recite what we don't know: we don't know where it came from, we don't know when it arrived, we don't know exactly how it kills trees and we don't know how to fight it.
A group of half a dozen scientists have been working on the disease for the past few years with funding support from government. A handful of scientists trying to deal with a largely unknown organism that is wiping out one of New Zealand's most iconic species.
Most of the paltry $6 million spent over the last five years went on putting up signs and encouraging trampers to scrub the bottom of their boots, which is important to do, but if this was a biosecurity threat to our kiwifruit or pine plantations (PSA or painted apple moth) then you can bet ten times that amount would have been invested in the science.
Only science has any chance of saving the kauri.
It is important that we try to understand the disease, and what we can do about it. Plant pathologists like Ian Horner and Ellena Hough were out today in the bush above Huia monitoring whether kauri infected with PTA respond to having phosphite injected into their trunks.
Horner and Hough have day jobs with Plant and Food trying to save the kiwifruit industry from PSA. Saving kauri is a sideline for them, and today they are testing whether the phosphite they injected into 50-100 year old sick kauri a year ago has had any positive effect. It is an approach that works well with avocado trees infected with a similar pathogen to the one that is plaguing kauri.
Early results are inconclusive, but Horner concedes that even in the best case scenario, injecting phosphite is not a fix. Any beneficial effect would be temporary, only as long as the phosphite remained in the tree's system. It might help save an iconic tree, or one treasured by a private landowner, but it is not going to save our forests.
The research must go on. The Government's lack of commitment to extending the funding for the kauri dieback work beyond mid-2014 puts a question mark over this vital work. It is only a few million dollars a year. The survival of kauri as a species is at stake.
It has been a great start to the Hillary Trail. We had a send off from friends, park rangers and residents of the Waitakeres, with a karakia by kaumatua Fred Holloway. Thanks to my co-walkers Ngarimu Blair of Ngati Whatua, Ross Duder of Friends of Regional Parks and Simon Randall local body politician who did his Masters on Phytophtheras in the Waitakere Ranges.
Tomorrow we walk to Whatipu.

Obama's record is questionable
To the Editor,
Are they brain washed or stupid? I don't understand how someone can be so adamant about a political candidate, but yet know very little about him.
I have many progressive friends and I asked every one of them if they had read Obama's books "The Audacity of Hope" (2006) and "Dreams from My Father" (1995, republished in 2004), not one of them had read the books, and when I offered to lend them my copies, not one of them accepted my offer.
They just don't want to know. Some of Obama's worshipers are saying that we don't know anything about Romney, but yet we can follow him from his birth, through grammar school, high school, college and his law degree, and MBA from Harvard.
We can follow his business life, his term as governor of a majority liberal state, what bills he passed and vetoed, all of his speeches, his taking over a broke Olympics and fixing it.
We know as much about him as we have ever known about any candidate to ever run for President.
Why haven't we seen one record of Obama's grades in school? We haven't seen one paper he has written in college or how he felt about politics or his values in those unknown years. Actual quote from "Dreams from My Father" [pg. 100-101]: "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy."
I feel sorry for those Truman and Kennedy Democrats of the past and how they are misguided to think they are in any way like the new radical progressive Democrats.
James Schlotthauer
Crash happened under Bush
To the Editor,
Dwan Seicheine has "studied" economics (Letter to Editor, Sept. 13), but somehow concludes that the problems we face today are Obama's fault even though the crash happened on the Bush watch, and the deregulation on the Clinton and Bush watches.
No one forced the banks to make bad loans, they were supposed to be bankers, people that understood economics.
The bottom line is that greed is not good when it is unrestrained. These same bankers are now getting million dollar bonuses extracted from the retirees' liquidity that Seicheine mentions.
William Bergmann
Better off today
To the Editor,
The Dow Jones Industrial Average on December 31, 2008: 8,776. The Dow Jones Industrial Average in September, 2012: 13,500 (approx.)
Am I better off today than I was four years ago? Absolutely.

Parents need to be more involved
To the Editor,
This generation's parents are not involved enough in their students' education. Parents are not involved enough. They don't donate enough supplies. Parents should volunteer to help teachers. If parents helped teachers, the student(s) would get more help with homework. Parents should always check their students' homework. Most parents tell their students they don't know how to do the problems and make the students do it on their own.
Some people say that parents don't have time to help their student. Parents should always find time to spend with their students.
Your student could do a lot better if you took the time to help them with homework. So come on parents, get involved!
Alex Maxey
Free speech
To the Editor,
Just wondering, isn't there a law against shouting fire in a crowded theater?
Isn't that what the guy that made the inflammatory film and smeared it throughout the mideast did? Yes, we do and should have free speech in this country, but when it causes injury and death, shouldn't there, at least, be an investigation, if not an arrest?
It is mind boggling that this sort of trash can incite whole populations to riot, but couldn't, we, at least, try to reason with these people via the same Internet that it is accomplishing exactly what it was meant to do and it was the work of a small mind and not the intent of a majority of the American people.

NFC may be coming to WP7 in the near future
HTC HD7 owners first to get NoDo update at T-Mobile
Published: 30 March, 2011
READ MORE: US | Microsoft | Handset | Windows Phone
Google has been leading the way with its NFC compatible Android but according to sources over at Bloomberg Microsoft is following suit with Windows Phone 7. The OS may be lagging behind Android 2.3 and Apple's iOS but the inclusion of the technology in future phones running Windows Phone 7 could help it to regain some of its market share. As of yet NFC update hasn't been seen in Microsoft's roadmap for 2011 but future updates supporting the mobile payment system don't seem that far off and it is said that handsets featuring the technology could be seen by the end of the year.
It looks like Apple are also hopping on the NFC bandwagon though if the rumours are true it won't make it into this years new iPhone model. There was talk that the iPad 2 would be getting it as well but that turned out to be false.
The first device to be released featuring NFC was Google's Nexus S handset which went on sale in December running the Gingerbread build of Android. Estimates suggest that mobile payments could total $245bn in 2014, an increase of $32bn from 2010's estimate. The number of smartphones shipped in 2012 with NFC is expected to double over this year's figure.
Microsoft's deal with Nokia looks like it will be important part of their strategy to deliver handsets with NFC has the Finnish phone giant has said it will make it a standard feature of its Symbian smartphones in 2011.
In other Windows Phone 7 news T-Mobile's HTC HD7 owners have become some of the first to receive the first update for the OS, NoDo. The update brings with it copy & paste functionality as well as CDMA support. Other improvements scheduled for Windows Phone 7 over the next year include multitasking, twitter integration and internet explorer 9 with HTML5 compatibility.

This project is a Making Of an original scene which has been re-textured with the 3DTotal Textures Collections.
There were two challenges for this picture: the first of which was to create an interior design scene, keeping a focus on a specific part of a living room. My inspiration came from a design study by Steve Nuss Ltd. Interior Design & Antiques (http://www.stevenussltd.com), and the main objective for this project was to work on realistic lighting, without too much 2D post-work. The second challenge was to make the picture in the spirit of "speed modelling" – not too much time for the modelling/lighting/texturing pass and optimise the V-Ray render engine and render time. So the objective here was to basically obtain a great scene in the least time as possible!
For the modelling part there are no surprises here; with 3d Studio Max I used basic techniques – box modelling, poly modelling or spline/lathe – according to objects I was creating. With photo references, modelling was quick! In just one day, all of the main elements were modelled (Fig.01). When all the final objects are in the scene, it's a good base to start the lighting work!
Tip: When I work on the modelling pass, I'm used to isolating materials and giving objects different colours with standard shaders (Fig.02). This way, visually, it's better to understand the future materials to apply, and it's also a benefit in terms of the time it takes for the texturing pass, too – if you have too many objects in scene then you don't have to select them all one by one, as it's already been done with the selection of the materials!
The main idea for the lighting in this scene was a strong side light, which allowed me to obtain a horizontal gradient light for the natural light. For aesthetic purposes, lightning in the centre of the scene helped to achieve a kind of intimate feeling (Fig.03). The Left Vraylight was used for the main light – slightly oversaturated to burn a few objects and to create some contrast. The right Vraylight was used as a kind of "back light" to increase the contrast without losing another source of lighting (like from a corridor or another room). The 2 Omni lights (3ds Max) were used for the artificial lighting to create some soft shadows in the centre (don't forget to use Photoshop to turn the lamps on!).
With the lights all set up, it was time to make my first render of the project, with a simple override material in V-Ray (Fig.04).
This image was created using
a few of the hundreds of textures from the
Total Texture CDs - very comprehensive texture
collections priced with the hobbyist in mind.

Great accomidations for medical student
November 09, 2015
I am a medical student who had a rotation near the Hampton, VA area. The Hampton Candlewood suites was an extremely comfortable location to spend my 5 weeks. The building is in a very convenient and safe neighborhood, the staff was very friendly, I was able to get great sleep, and overall it felt like a home away from home for my stay.

Rockford winger Kyle Beach saw his brother, Cody, a Peoria winger, fight two IceHogs on Friday. OK, Kyle, so who were you hoping would win?
Rockford winger Kyle Beach saw his brother, Cody, a Peoria winger, fight two IceHogs on Friday.
OK, Kyle, so who were you hoping would win?
He laughed, then took his time trying to find a politically correct response.
"We know who's going to read this, so obviously I'm rooting for my teammates. It is different. It's the first time he's fought against our team this year.
"He even tried to grab me in the first period. That could have been interesting."
Instead of big brother, Cody took on Ryan Stanton in the second period and Brad Mills in the third.
"I guess I just hope both guys don't get hurt," Kyle said. "And that Cody takes a couple of extra punches to the chin. I don't think I'm cheering for Cody to win. A draw, maybe."
Fighting spirit?
Beach's fighting days hardly are over, but they have become more limited.
"It is kinda weird," he said of his decrease in fisticuffs. "There's a time and a place. I think the game kind of dictates that.
"The way we've been playing lately, we've had a lot of close games, and you don't want to take a chance of getting the extra two minutes in those. When you're up 4-1, there's no reason to fight unless someone takes a liberty on one of your teammates."
Down but not out
Winger Brandon Svendsen was slammed into the boards Friday by Peoria's Chris Bruton in the second period. He was taken off on a stretcher to a nice round of applause from the fans.
He was back to play in the third period.
"He's a tough kid, a warrior," Rockford head coach Ted Dent said. "He came back and blocked some big shots in the third. I'm not surprised."
Just wondering
Anyone around here unhappy that the NHL is back?
Long break
The IceHogs are in a stretch of six days off, coming off the end of their six-game winning streak. Good, or bad, timing?
"It's all right," center Jimmy Hayes said. "We've just got to get in a groove here. We've got to treat practice like a game, come in and work hard in practice every day and keep the tempo up. Then we'll be ready to go this weekend" for two games in Oklahoma City and one in Chicago.

Managing Staff Without Mistakes
Article Date:
Copyright (C) 2007 Associated Equipment Distributors. All Rights Reserved.
Some management practices lead to poor morale, low producicity, a stressful work environment, and ultimately customer dissatisfaction.
You got where you are today
because you're smart, hard-working, and determined, and you have the ability to lead. In the process of advancement, you've undoubtedly made your share of mistakes and had some failures. After all, truly successful people learn to scale the ropes without falling too far.
But some management mistakes can lead to poor morale, low productivity, a stressful work environment, and ultimately, customer dissatisfaction.
To manage your staff to its full potential, avoid the following 12 mistakes.
Mistake #1
Failure to lead by example
The best way to motivate someone is to stimulate their desire to follow your lead. To do so, you must first gain their respect. Leading by example is critical.
Demonstrate your values, treat people fairly, show them you care about them as much as you care about your customers, and you'll earn their trust.
Mistake #2
Failure to ask questions and listen
Regular internal meetings, staff focus groups, and management advisory councils are always a good idea. In addition, make it a habit to get out from behind your desk and talk one-on-one with people to ask how they're doing, whether they're having any problems, and if there is anything you can do to help.
Ask questions and listen carefully to the answers. You'll discover ideas, solutions to problems, and opportunities that, if acted upon, will increase the value you provide to your customers. You'll find new ways to deliver a higher level of service, improve quality, boost employee morale, and drive business growth. This will, in turn, help you to grow and prosper.
Make it a habit to ask questions, such as:
What have you been hearing from our customers?
How would you rate the level of service we provide?
What can we do to improve communication?
Have you had any problems or issues I should know about?
How is your team performing?
What are your thoughts?
Is there anything I can do to help you?
How can we solve this together?
Then listen with your ears and your eyes. Does the employee's body language match what they're saying? If not, you need to gently probe with the following questions:
Can you tell me more?
What, exactly, do you think happened?
What do you think might be holding things back?
Do you think someone dropped the ball?
Is there anything I should know?
To have a true team culture in your company, encourage your staff to come forward with ideas, problems and solutions. But if you don't listen, your people will stop sharing their thoughts.
Even worse, you'll end up managing people who are going through the motions without putting their hearts and souls into their work. Why? Because they believe no one listens.
And remember to ask something as simple as, "How's your family?" It lets your staff know you care about them as individuals.
Find just 20 minutes a day to talk one-on-one and it will have an impact.
Mistake #3
Failure to communicate
Failing to keep your staff informed with honest and "open" communication is not in keeping with dynamic leadership.
Be sure to consistently communicate what direction the business is headed and why and the role they play in the success of the business. Tell them why it's important to have their input and ideas, why they must believe in the company and the products it provides and why every interaction with a customer must be a positive experience. They should know that you appreciate their hard work, even if you don't tell them every day.
Mistake # 4
Failure to motivate without fear
Motivate your staff by being a great coach. Bring out the best in your staff. Recognize, reward, encourage, appreciate and coach them. Think back to your school days: Was there a teacher who inspired you to reach your full potential? Help your staff reach their's. Energize them with positive energy, and you'll keep them. Make people feel they are working with you, and not for you.
Give credit where credit is due. Make sure your staff feels they are a critical part of your business. Show them you care as much about them as you care about your customers.
Mistake #5
Failure to check assumptions
You'll be making a big mistake if you simply assume your people are doing the right things. There's a wide gap between micromanaging and making the broad assumption that everyone knows what to do and is doing it.
It's your job to stay on top of things and oversee what your people are doing. If you don't, and you simply assume everything is running smoothly, you could be in for trouble.
Explain that you're not trying to micromanage and that you trust your staff, but, because you're ultimately accountable, you need to keep a close eye on what's going on.
Mistake #6
Failure to encourage creativity
Many executives and managers destroy creativity by shooting down ideas or not involving their people in decision making. Today's business professionals need to stay creatively charged. If they aren't engaged, they will not be as productive.
Ignite the fire in them to use their creativity to come up with solutions to problems and ideas to help meet and exceed your goals. In addition to one-on-one contact, create an interdepartmental task force that includes individuals with diverse talents and styles; this diversity will stimulate discussion and energize the group. You'll be amazed with the strategic ideas these task force groups will present.
Eliminate "dead weight" or don't settle for mediocre performance. In today's highly competitive, fast-paced environment, you can't afford to settle for mediocre players on your team.
Confront any staff person who has a negative attitude or is not performing. Ask what you can do to help them to "step up to the plate." If you don't see improvement, give them a warning. Then, if you still don't see improvement, have the courage to remove them from your team.
Coach your average performers, and ignite the fire in them to put forth more effort. Rally your high-performers to your side and let them know how much you appreciate them.
Mistake #7
Failure to train and develop people
Don't assume your staff is proficient in critical skill areas. If you don't train your people in customer service, sales, communication, computer skills, and teamwork, your business will suffer.
Encourage professional development and make training a priority for everyone.
Mistake #8
Failure to be unprotected
If your assistant or a supervisor under you is telling your staff that anything they send you must first come through them, you could be headed for trouble. Be accessible.
Mistake #9
Failure to hire the over-qualified
Downsizing, restructuring and outsourcing have left a great number of highly qualified people out of work. All too often, they are deemed "over-qualified," and don't get hired.
The reasoning behind this is usually that they will always be looking for a better job, they may resent less-experienced staff telling them what to do, or they may intimidate others with their degrees or experience.
On the contrary, these individuals are usually more productive, and they can hit the ground running. They can also help others develop more rapidly, and they can bring in new ideas to help you move forward. Don't avoid hiring over-qualified candidates. They could become valuable assets to your business.
Mistake # 10
Failure to admit a mistake
You may not always get the recognition you deserve for good decisions, but you'll always get noticed for the bad ones. No company or leader is perfect, but if you've made a mistake, admit it. A little vulnerability makes you human.
Mistake #11
Failure to lighten up and have fun
Stress is rampant in most companies today. Implement methods to alleviate stress in the workplace. For example, organize a walking club during lunch. Encourage sports teams and events that include spouses and family. Have a quick huddle instead of a long meeting.
And don't forget to keep your own life in balance!
Mistake #12
Failure to follow your instincts
Ultimately, you cannot be successful as a leader if you don't recognize and follow your own instincts. Tailor what is best for your staff based on what you would expect if you were one of them. Create a work environment where you would like to work. Strive for a superior sense of integrity.
Let your instincts serve as a guide for your decisions.

The accuracy of the range of drugs was really well researched. The OD death due to Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is still common. The hatred of demerol (not strong enough and too many side effects). Even the comment that you cannot see straight after taking large doses of morphine are totally accurate.
Contributed by: Dee Nineteen
For research and practice,
Matt Dillon
James Legros
actually drove around Portland for weeks before shooting, in character, casing drugstores and pharmacys.

Rodney Harvey was originally cast in the role of "Rick", to be replaced by James Legoss. Harvey was pulled off of the movie by his agent because of drug abuse, he was later cast by Van Sant again as "Gary" in "My Own Private Idaho". He, sadly, died of a heroin overdose in 1998.
