Same blog, new location!
I have quite a collection of cookbooks, some of them I love and use regularly….some of them…not so much.
As I was perusing the pages of a local church cookbook, I couldn't help but find myself laughing at the fact that some of these apparently needed to be put into writing and sold to poor, unsuspecting congregation members. Names will be withheld, for obvious reasons. Admittedly, when it comes to maple syrup I am a bit spoiled. Two years ago my Dad decided to start making his own syrup, this is nowhere close to his recipe. His calls for sap straight from the tree boiled until it actually is real maple syrup. Just to be 100% clear, this is not the real stuff.
Maple Syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring
1/2 cup water
Combine in a small saucepan and boil. [Sryup] will be thinner than commercial syrup, but may be made thicker by boiling it for a few minutes.
Perfect for those Saturday morning pancakes. Personally, I would recommend putting it in a nice canning jar and gifting it to a neighbor that you don't like.
We are finally getting back into the swing of normal life after two back-to-back family vacations. We spent 5 days driving to, and visiting family in Kansas, and then a week hanging out with family from Oregon in town. Yikes. That's a lot of family time!
Thankfully, we had a great time!
I was a little nervous about the Kansas trip, it is a long car ride and the forecast was for HOT weather. It was a long drive (and it doesn't go any faster when you have a baby kicking your bladder…) but the weather wasn't quite as hot as we anticipated. Don't be fooled though, it was still hot.
WHY KANSAS? Yeah, I know. Kansas isn't exactly up there on my list of "Places to see before I die" but I guess my brother-in-law didn't take my needs into consideration when he decided to go to grad school to get his PhD in history. Lawrence, Kansas is a surprisingly nice town and less than an hour from Kansas City. A few highlights were:
An eclectic street of chain and local retailers and restaurants. Everything from Starbucks and Urban Outfitters to Free State Brewing Company and Blue Dandelion, a cute children's boutique where I could've easily spent all of my money. Thankfully, my Mother-in-law was along and bought this sweet dress for our little girl.
Apparently it is great fun to take a pregnant lady to a brewery, mainly because then the non-pregos can have her tasting tokens. Either way, Boulevard Brewing Company was a fun place to visit. They do have walk-on availability for many of the tours, so don't let the need to register months out deter you. Unfortunately, they are unable to sell beer from the brewery (fun Kansas City trivia fact – they can only have one liquor license, so they can be a brewery, retailer or distributor, but not more than one) but you can easily find it at any local restaurant or retailer. There is also a lot of great shopping, including the Legends Outlet mall, The City Market (great Farmers Market atmosphere), and Country Club Plaza. With so many areas and options to choose from we could've easily spent the entire trip just window shopping. Although, I'm sure the guys were glad that we didn't!
Another highlight in visiting Kansas City is the barbecue! We decided on Oklahoma Joe's BBQ, which is somewhat of an institution in the area. With two locations, we went for the original, right in a gas station! I recommend getting there early, because the line will be out the door and around the building. The food was wonderful! The diner style restaurant has been featured on Food Network's Man vs. Food, along with winning numerous awards. I went with the Burnt Ends sandwich, which was the special for the day. Oh. my. goodness. If only I hadn't been too busy eating to take a picture! Don't let the gas station location fool you – this place is GOOD!
Don't laugh – Kansas is actually a fun place to visit!
…You know, the ones who only wear sweatpants and just don't care?
Things aren't looking good for me.
Let me tell you why. I slept in yesterday and watched the Today Show so that I can be up on important world events, such as the Royal Wedding. After my thrilling morning of television and chores (let's just pretend I did some chores…) I was in need of lunch. Only there was a problem. I was still in my pajamas. Yep, 12:00 and I still haven't managed to get myself dressed, and I really wanted a whopper jr.
So, I got myself "dressed" in the trashiest outfit I could find. No, not that kind of trashy…the kind that looks like I am wearing garbage.
Sweatshirt circa 2000 complete with large holes on the sleeve. Hair tied back with a headband. No makeup. Sweatpants (at least I chose a pair without holes!)
Hopefully this is just a phase, and once the weather warms up I'll be able to dress myself like a normal human being again.

Winners: Katrina – Credit for 50 free announcements
Alicia – Credit for 8×8″ photo book.
I'll email you both shortly!
I have a fun announcement, and as much as I would love to send each of you a cute card in the mail, the fact that we are internet friends makes that tricky!
Dave and I are going to be parents!
(No, we aren't getting another dog.)
Now, to answer a few of your questions:
Ok, so some of those aren't quite serious, but if you're a Mom I'm sure you've also had similiar thoughts! Seriously though, we are thrilled! It's a little scary to think that in around six short months we'll be bringing a tiny baby into our house, but apparently almost anyone can have a baby, so we should be ok!
Once we found out that we are expecting we started doing some serious camera research so that we can capture pictures from throughout the pregnancy and all the special firsts that we'll experience once the baby is born. One way that I love to display and share these photos is through photo books and framed photos throughout the house. Our engagement photo book still sits out in the living room, and we have several photos from our wedding throughout our house.
I have several sites that I like to use for printing photos, but one of my favorite for photo books for non-professionals is Shutterfly.com. In addition to being very user friendly, they also offer great products. Their quality is consistently above some of the local 'supermarket' printers and their prices are very competitive!
Do you have a fun celebration to announce or photos that you'd like to easily print in a book?

I got the travel bug early on and am happiest when exploring new places. I love live music, going to art openings and museums, and taking road trips. I have my dream job working for the Smithsonian helping to preserve some of America's treasures for future generations. I prefer quirky over conventional, so this site seems like a great way to enhance my future travel experiences!

The reason I bought a snes and I've still got it but it doesn't work... Lucky I can get the VC version then! 10 star speed definately worked on the snes version, I used to use a programable joystick to get it every time! Mega drive version was nothing in comparison especially with only a 3 button pad!

Its good because all the bomberman games are good, this is definately not the best version though. I used to have super bomberman 2 on the snes which had much better powerups.

The link input widget should have separate fields for the link target and the displayed text.
From various comments at bug 48789
There are essentially two ways to create a link:
#2 You click the link button first, enter the target and get out of the dialog,
at which point the link text (identical to chosen link target) will be entered.
With this method, the user will often have to adjust the link's text
afterwards, for instance in the case of plurals or if the target article is
disambiguated with parentheses. But it is not clear to the user that adjusting
the link text is safe and won't create a broken link; indeed the crucial
distinction between link text and link target remains obscure. (Changing a
singular to a plural is especially difficult since editing links at the end is
not allowed.)
I have checked the workflow of entering links in LibreOffice, Gmail and Word;
they are all basically the same as in the Visual Editor, with two major
a) the dialog popup window has a clear OK button, and [bug 52462]
b) the dialog popup window contains separate clearly labeled boxes for the link
text and the link target.
I believe both of these changes make a lot of sense.
An English Wikipedia user comments that the current behaviour of the input widget is not intuitive at all:
"I clicked the link tool while not focused on any text, to try and add a new
link. I got a largely empty box with no instructions, and the next word in the
article highlighted within the box. I fiddled with it a few times, and still
don't know if typing in the box A. changes the text of the link. B. allows me
to select more words. C. Changes what is linked to, or D. is followed by
another, nearly identical box for a secondary function"
To me this is further evidence that we need two boxes: one to enter the link
target and one to enter the link display text. The second box would default to
the same as the link for internal links and for external links either (ideally)
the page title or (less ideally but probably easier) the filename sans
See also bug 51438
Adam Cuerden comments again on the suggestion to have separate boxes for link
target and link title:
"Yes [that would be better], but do make sure it's on the same page. Don't give
one dialogue, then a second. Also, if one of the boxes is left blank, it should
be auto-completed from the other box. "
For the second part of the comment they mean that if someone gives a link
target (e.g. Fish) and doesn't specify any title, produce a link: [[Fish]]
If someone gives a link title (e.g. Hedgehog) but doesn't specify a target,
produce the link: [[Hedgehog]].

An automobile mechanic needs to be well educated in a variety of subjects involved in car functions. Generally, you need some type of schooling to work in the auto mechanic industry. The majority of the time, a mechanic works indoors in a garage.Read More...
If you grew up fixing your own car or friend's cars and know what your doing, you will have it easy when applying for a mechanic position. Most of the time someone might know how to fix or tweak a certain part of the car, but not the entire thing. When it comes to being a mechanic, they need to know the ins and outs of a car to be successful.
In today's world, most auto repair shops require some degree of schooling to allow you to work for them. If you know someone inside the business though, they won't be that hard on you about this. The way that companies make cars currently, there is a high demand for auto mechanics.
The environment in which a mechanic works in can get very dusty and dirty. They generally work in garages that are indoors. This gives them the most reliable space to prepare for bad weather conditions. But the tight space and small room some mechanics have to work on can be very hard on the respiratory system.
In conclusion, a car mechanic needs to have a vast knowledge of every piece on the car. A technical degree or some other type of schooling is generally needed to get hired at most shops. Mechanics spend all day inside a tight cramped garage at a repair shop.

There are some Automobile Mechanics — though it's uncommon — that transition into Mechanical Engineers, where earnings are an average $63K annually. Automobile Mechanics moving up in their careers tend to step into positions as Auto Mechanics or Diesel Mechanics. The median paychecks in those roles are $2K higher and $4K higher, respectively.
Survey takers who work as Automobile Mechanics typically report just a few professional skills. Most notably, skills in Electronic Troubleshooting, Troubleshooting, System Repair, and Automotive Engine Repair are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 4 percent and 9 percent. Those educated in System Repair tend to be well versed in Electronic Troubleshooting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Automobile Mechanics — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $30K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $36K on average — a distinctly larger sum. Automobile Mechanics claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $40K. Automobile Mechanics with more than 20 years of experience report incomes that are only modestly higher; the median for these old hands hovers around $43K.
Automobile Mechanics will find that San Jose offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 49 percent. Automobile Mechanics can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Denver (+26 percent), New York (+24 percent), Pittsburgh (+9 percent), and Portland (+6 percent). Las Vegas is the lowest-paying area, 17 percent south of the national average. Employers pay around 13 percent less in Orlando and 8 percent less in Los Angeles, below-median salaries for those in this field.

There are four big items on the agenda for next Tuesday's Full Council meeting:
– a motion to keep free parking on Saturday afternoons. This looks like being a very tight vote.
– whether or not to finally approve the Allocations Document, which has just been okayed by the government inspector
– whether or not to approve the Hockley Area Action plan
– setting up of a 'flood forum'
It would nice to have some people in the public gallery! It's harder to argue that free car parking or protecting the green belt is important, if absolutely nobody from the public bothers to turn up!
The meeting starts at 7:30 in the Civic Suite, opposite Holy Trinity Church. The public can come along to listen, but can't speak. (Unless someone has submitted a public question).
3 Comments
You will have to forgive me for being cynical Chris, but it doesn't matter whether or not the public gallery is packed to the rafters, the full Tory Whip will be on and the Allocations Document and probably the Hockley Area Action Plan will be passed with a large majority no matter what arguments anyone puts forward. It's what the ruling elite want and what they want they get no matter what their constituents, who elected them and who pay them, think. They know best, we just ignorant plebs.↓
Christine, you are very probably right re the Allocations Document. Though there have been meetings on this in the past where I have been very glad to have Rawreth parish Councillors in the public gallery to give me moral support! – for example
But the car parking issue is a different matter. There may only be a handful of votes in it, 8 Tories are already defying the party whip on this and a string showing in the public gallery could very easily sway two or three.↓
Despite a number of Councillors making some critical remarks about the RDC lack of effective public consultation an a tow the party line Inspector report – all the usual Tory Whip suspects managed to
get the plan through tonight.
A gallant effort too on Saturday afternoon parking charges but again the Whip ensured a 19 – 14 vote win
to charge on Saturday all day (closer this time Oz –
I live in hope of a Rayleigh Spring ).
I have to acknowledge the Tory (Toby Mountain)he showed some guts in leading the anti-motion in
defiance of the regime that orchestrates this Council.
Chris Black and John Mason also spoke well in support.↓

Executive Office Staff
Robert M. Hauser
is Executive Director of the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education at the National Research Council and Vilas Research Professor and Samuel Stouffer Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While at the UW-Madison, he directed the Center for Demography of Health and Aging, the Institute for Research on Poverty, and the Center for Demography and Ecology. He has been an investigator on the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS) since 1969 and has led the study since 1980. The WLS, which began as a study of post-secondary education, has followed the lives of more than 10,000 Wisconsin High School graduates of 1957 for more than half a century and is now a national resource for research on health and retirement. With David L. Featherman, Hauser led the 1973 Occupational Changes in a Generation project – which successfully carried out the last major survey of intergenerational social mobility in the United States and yielded two books (Hauser, Robert M., and David L. Featherman. The Process of Stratification: Trends and Analyses. New York: Academic Press, 1977; Featherman, David L., and Robert M. Hauser. Opportunity and Change. New York: Academic Press, 1978), dozens of journal publications, and a much-used public data file. Another major project (with Halliman H. Winsborough and Karl Taeuber) created public use micro-data files from the 1940 and 1950 Censuses. A third project (with Robert D. Mare) supported collection of socioeconomic data from a sample of siblings of participants in the NORC General Social Survey. A fourth project created uniform public use files from the October school enrollment supplements of the Current Population Survey. Hauser's current research interests include statistical methodology, trends in educational progression and achievement among American racial and ethnic groups, the uses of educational assessment as a policy tool, and changes in socioeconomic standing, cognition, health, and well-being across the life course. Recent publications include reports of the National Research Council, Measuring Literacy: Performance Levels for Adults; Conducting Biosocial Surveys: Collecting, Storing, Accessing, and Protecting Biospecimens and Biodata; High School Dropout, Graduation, and Completion Rates: Better Data, Better Measures, Better Decisions, and A Plan for Evaluating the District of Columbia's Public Schools: From Impressions to Evidence and journal publications about grade retention, educational expectations, social mobility, obesity, cognitive functioning, end-of-life planning, mortality, and genetic effects (and non-effects) on health and cognitive functioning. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Education, and the American Philosophical Society.

Apple could be in the early development stages of a 13in iPad aimed at the notebook market, an analyst has said.
With rumours that Apple is planning to unveil its iPad 5 and iPad mini 2 on 15 October, speculation about what the new iPads could look like, and what they'll feature, has been rife.
Shortly after obtaining a new iPhone 5S, CIO.com's Al Sacco, an unabashed BlackBerry user and Android loyalist, set out to find the best iOS apps that aren't available for other mobile platforms. He came with up these 15 must-have iPhone, iPad and iP...
A European Parliament's consumer protection committee has voted to standardize smartphone connectors in a move to reduce waste. As a result Apple may have to adopt microUSB for charging the iPad and iPhone.
Apple is reportedly placing orders with Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) for the A8 chip, expected to be used in Apple's iPhone 6 in 2014.
Apple has emerged as the most valuable brand in the world, passing Coca-Cola which held the top position for 13 years, according to a report released by brand consultancy Interbrand.
Analysts and Apple watchers have been predicting how many of the new iPhones Apple will sell over the launch weekend, and predictions range from 5-8 million units. However, there is some concern about possible iPhone 5s constraints and low pre-orders...
Pocket has rolled out a sizable update to its iOS app of the same name. The update includes some minor design changes, but it also adds several tools and options to make your mobile reading experience even better.

Evidence that the iPhone 5S will feature a fingerprint sensor built-in to the Home button is mounting, with new reports suggesting that the iPhone 5S will have a silver ring around the Home button.
Apple's 10 September iPhone event is just around the corner, but that hasn't stopped speculation about the iPhone 6 that is expected to arrive next year.
With just weeks to go until the expected Apple special event, leaked images of the iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S and iPad 5 just keep coming.
The market share of Apple's iPad fell dramatically in China during the second quarter as a result of competition from Android tablets made by little-known "white box" vendors.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I'll Free Firms from 3,000 Red Tape Rules; Barmy Laws Will Go, Says Tory Drafted in to 'Help' Cable
Byline: James Chapman Political Editor
BUSINESSES are to be freed from the threat of 'barmy' compensation claims as part of a new Government drive to rip up almost half of all business red tape by the end of next year.
Business minister Michael Fallon, appointed last week to push a more radical pro-growth agenda, will say today that 3,000 burdensome regulations will be scrapped or overhauled. Shops, offices, pubs and clubs will no longer face health and safety inspections, and the law will be changed to ensure firms can only be held liable for civil damages in health and safety cases if they can be shown to have acted negligently.
Later this week, the Government will announce plans to make it easier for firms to remove under-performing workers in return for a pay-off.
Using 'settlement agreements' will allow more staff to agree to go without the need to go to employment tribunals.
Mr Fallon's boss, Business Secretary Vince Cable, will seek to assert his authority tomorrow by unveiling a new industrial strategy, offering special help to specific industries identified as having the potential for growth, including aerospace, car manufacturing and life sciences.
Mr Cable has been dubbed the 'antibusiness Business Secretary' by MPs on the Tory Right, who accuse him of standing in the way of radical reform of employment law and regulation.
In one of the most significant moves in last week's Government reshuffle, David Cameron parachuted three Conservatives into the business department without consulting Mr Cable.
As well as former Tory deputy chairman Mr Fallon, they are Matthew Hancock, ex-chief of staff to George Osborne, and former Tory treasurer Lord Marland.
A string of announcements this week will flesh out an uneasy 'grand bargain' between the Tories and Lib Dems on business policy, with workplace law reforms and deregulation announcements cheering Tory MPs and Lib Dems placated by a more interventionist industrial strategy.
Mr Fallon will today announce that from April 2013, the Government intends to introduce binding rules on both the Health & Safety Executive and on councils that will exempt hundreds of thousands of firms from regular health and safety inspections. In future, businesses will only face inspections if they are operating in higher risk areas such as construction, or if they have a record of poor performance. …

Technological advances in today's modern firearms, ammunition and optics have enhanced the potential for long range accuracy. However, precision mounting and alignment of your system's scope is critical to realizing that potential. A scope's reticle must be precisely aligned with the barrel to ensure holdover or turret adjustments for bullet drop produce true vertical compensation for point of impact. If the crosshairs are canted left or right both elevation and windage bullet impact error can occur. The Wheeler Engineering Professional Reticle Leveling System is a precision tool designed to allow a scope to be perfectly leveled on any firearm with ease. CNC machining, factory adjusted calibration set screws, anodized aluminum construction and protective molded case put this instrument in a class of its own. The system is comprised of two machined aluminum level housings calibrated to their integrated levels. The Barrel Clamp Level is attached to the guns barrel while the smaller Reference Level is placed on scope base, bottom half of a ring or other flat surface perpendicular to the vertical axis of the gun. The gun is then rotated until the Reference Level is aligned. The tuning adjustment knob on the Barrel Clamp Level is then turned until its level is centered to match the Reference Level. At this point the Barrel Clamp Level is calibrated to the guns axis. The Scope can be installed loosely and the Reference Level placed on top of the scopes turret cap. The scope is rotated until the Reference Level is aligned with the Barrel Clamp Level and then simply secured in place. The Wheeler Professional Reticle Leveling Sysytem is the most effective instrument available for precision scope alignment.

Abobe Announces Open Screen Project 2008: Open Technology to Help Expand Flash Player Reach
Today Adobe announced the Open Screen Project 2008, A great news and step ahead for flash player reachability ensuring a consistent rich Internet experience across a broad range of digital screens and form factors including mobile phones, consumer electronics, televisions and personal computers "anything to anywhere, experience matters"
The Open Screen Project is supported by technology leaders, including Adobe, ARM, Chunghwa Telecom, Cisco, Intel, LG Electronics Inc., Marvell, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Verizon Wireless, and leading content providers, including BBC, MTV Networks, and NBC Universal, who want to deliver rich Web and video experiences, live and on-demand across a variety of devices.
The Open Screen Project is working to enable a consistent runtime environment – taking advantage of Adobe® Flash® Player and, in the future, Adobe AIR™ — that will remove barriers for developers and designers as they publish content and applications across desktops and consumer devices, including phones, mobile internet devices (MIDs), and set top boxes. The Open Screen Project will address potential technology fragmentation by allowing the runtime technology to be updated seamlessly over the air on mobile devices. The consistent runtime environment will provide optimal performance across a variety of operating systems and devices, and ultimately provide the best experience to consumers.
Specifically, this work will include:
- Removing restrictions on use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications
- Publishing the device porting layer APIs for Adobe Flash Player
- Publishing the Adobe Flash® Cast™ protocol and the AMF protocol for robust data services
- Removing licensing fees – making next major releases of Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR for devices free
Have a look to this short video from Adobe CTO, Kevin Lynch that clearly explains what this initiative means for the Flash ecosystem.

Adobe Flash Player 9 update to destroy and save Web apps!!
Adobe is issuing an update to Flash Player 9 that it hopes will prevent Flash-based Web applications being used to launch attacks against consumers but the update may also stop Flash apps working if developers don't heed Adobe's recommendations.
The April update addresses two security flaws in Adobe Flash 9, relating to cross-site scripting (XSS) and DNS rebinding attacks — common techniques used to attack computer systems by exploiting flaws in Web applications.
The update focuses on features in Adobe used by Web developers to communicate with third party servers. Those likely to be affected will be using sockets or XMLSockets; or addRequestHeader or URLRequest.requestHeaders in a network API to access content from sites outside their own domain.
If a site provides access to content on remote domains as a Web service provider, or if it has Flash content in pre-Flash 8 format that communicates with the hosting HTML, then the site could be affected. The update could also impact a site if it uses javascript to communicate outside of a Flash SWF. In all cases, Adobe advises following its recommendations to avoid problems.
Adobe says that the April 2008 Flash Player update will help defend against malicious HTTP headers sent from other domains by performing a cross-domain policy file check before allowing SWFs to send headers to another domain.

Critical Updates for Adobe Flash Player and Photoshop CS2\CS3 released
Adobe has released updates for its Flash Player and Photoshop CS2/CS3 software to fix holes that can be exploited by attackers, for instance to inject malicious code through specially crafted web pages or e-mail attachments.
"While an input validation error could lead to arbitrary code execution in Flash Player 184.108.40.206 and prior versions, insufficient validation of the HTTP Referer in Flash Player 184.108.40.206 and earlier versions might help attackers to execute cross-site scripting attacks. Another security problem related to the Opera and Konqueror browsers exists in Flash Player 7 (version 184.108.40.206) for Linux and Solaris, but Adobe does not provide more detailed information on this issue. The vendor advises users to upgrade to version 9.0.47, but also provides patches for other versions of the software."
"The updates for Photoshop CS2 and CS3 fix the vulnerabilities detected by Marsu at the end of April. These can be triggered when manipulated BMP, DIB, RLE and PNG image files are handled, and could lead to arbitrary code injection and execution. A malicious image, e.g., from an e-mail attachment, must be opened in Photoshop in order to achieve this. Links to patches for Windows and Mac OS X are provided in the security advisory. The vendor advises users to install the update as soon as possible. "

|Jim Croce was the real deal. Great lyrics. And just a great sense of what's real and worth singing about. And humour too.

Some 'Tampon Tax' Funding Must Help the Most Excluded Women
George Osborne is already coming under fire for using the 'tampon tax' to fund women's charities, particularly those responding to abuse. Many are (rightly) asking whether women should have to pay tax on essential items to fund the services that help them escape abuse predominantly perpetrated by men. But despite these concerns, more money for chronically underfunded women's services is welcome. Now we must look at how we spend it.

The first ocarina-like instrument appeared about 12,000 years ago, and not only did it appear in one place, but in different civilizations that were very far from each other. It has its origin in South, Central and the southern part of North America, but there was also a Chinese instrument very ocarina-like, called Xun. The Mayans, the Incans and the Aztecs all created clay ocarinas in the shape of birds or animals which they played along with other percussion instruments and dances. In the region of what is now Peru, the craftsmen made ocarinas also from clay, but they had the costume of painting the front part with different patterns and decorations; the Peruvian ocarinas could have the mouthpiece in the shape of an animal too. There was also some bird shaped ocarinas found in India about 5000 B.C.

September 30, 2013 The regular season ended with a dramatic no-hitter and a tie that will force an elimination game. But the season's finish also means that Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez can start his formal appeal of a 211-game suspension.

August 19, 2013 Alex Rodriguez isn't the most popular person in baseball. He's appealing a 211-game suspension for allegedly violating the game's rules on performance-enhancing drugs. Sunday, Boston pitcher Ryan Dempster sure seemed to be throwing at A-Rod — and he hit the Yankee. But Rodriguez had the last laugh.

August 5, 2013 By suspending New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, Major League Baseball stopped short of the lifetime ban that had been threatened. But in the league's history, even lifetime bans have sometimes translated into suspensions of less than a year.

Best Italian Restaurant (2002)
Ferré Ristorante & Bar
Parked in the West Village, where the tanned and tucked preen and leased BMWs breed like lab bunnies, Patrick Colombo's Ferré is an impeccably dressed Tuscan feedlot--razor-sharp. It's a collection of well-organized shapes and colors (amber mostly) with warming wood struts tempering chilly contemporary gusts such as the back bar, a cubist flourish of blurred glass and metal. Service isn't stellar, but the food is. Perfect gnocchi (a rarity). Desperately tender pasta with give. Flake-frenzied salmon. Zesty tomato soup with a poofy-do milk froth. Ferré's kitchen physics are executed by Kevin Ascolese, the toque who turned culinary tricks at Mi Piaci and the defunct Salve! Except here he does it with an eye affixed to brutal cost-consciousness. And it's good to nosh Italian that doesn't gnaw at your credit limit.

text: Share It Special Olympics Ghana focuses on the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games. Mr Seth Asamaoh | mar. 31, 2014 Special Olympics Ghana (SOG) and the Three Kings School Committee held a special training at the school to address Ghana's absence at the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games. This absence had left coaches very disappointed after the hard work they had put into preparing their athletes for the games. The special training focused on revising and polishing the skills needed for the program to be eligible to take part in the 2015 World Summer Games. The training emphasised that in order for the program to succeed it was important that divisioning was done well; this would make it easier for the program to track progress. The committee also focused on fundraising, marketing, promotional tie-ins, sponsor relations and the team building skills needed to build a strong program. A vote of thanks was given to the National Director Mr. Seth Asamaoh for the great work he has done in using his organisational skills to develop the program. The committee also committed to appealing to the District Chief Executive, Members of Parliament from the North Tonga District, Parent Teacher Association of Schools, Schools Management Committees and Religious groups for moral and financial support towards the Special Olympics 2015 World Summer Games.
