Smith Electric - The Next Solyndra
(FDX - Get Report) and Fresh Direct. Unfortunately for these customers, if something goes wrong with the truck, a technician has to be sent from the home office in Kansas City. Imagine if you are considering buying a fleet of these trucks and your repairman is two plane trips away? Smith signed a lease for a new facility in New York in August, but has no plans for any other facilities at this time.The competition is fierce, bigger and more capitalized. Ford (F - Get Report)., Isuzu and Volvo all have competing electric trucks. Ford is also a supplier to Smith, providing the transit vehicles on which the platform is based. SmithEurope and some of its previous entities have existed since 1920; however the company's senior management team has only been there since this past June. Smith defining itself as an "emerging growth" company under the JOBs Act (Jumpstart Our Businesses). That means the company will be exempt from Sarbanes-Oxley and can delay adopting certain accounting rules. Considering the DOE already had issues with Smith's accounting, investors have to be concerned about this. The company itself seems to be feeling the heat. Earlier this month, Smith reportedly lowered its expectations for the IPO. It's now said to be seeking just $76 million, down from an original goal of $125 million when it first filed to go public in November 2011. The company, whose stock is expected to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol "SMTH," is said to be looking to sell 4.22 million shares at $16-$18 each. In the related amended S-1 filing, Smith also disclosed it had only produced 79 vehicles through June 30 and said it now anticipates total production of 380 vehicles in 2012, down from its original goal. What's more, it's aiming to produce 60% of those vehicles in the fourth quarter. That's what they call a tall order, and investors may want to wait and see if they can pull it off before ponying up. --Written by Debra Borchardt in New York. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Debra Borchardt. Follow @WallandBroadAnother consideration is that the company is dependent on a limited number of customers such as Frito-Lay, FedEx

Noodle: TTeokbokgi with cheese

Thin Wheat Line is a weekly survey of Seattle area noodles.
Noodle: TTeokbokgi with cheese
Source: Bogul Bogul Cafe, 33320 Pacific Hwy S., Federal Way, 253-838-3988.
What you are looking at in this photo is not a delicious vanilla pudding. It is not a frothy cream soup, nor a rice-flour pancake. It is a lake of molten mozzarella.
And yes, that is a hard-boiled egg rising up in the back of the plate, a shark fin of sorts, warning diners that underneath this placid surface lurks pounds of fat rice-noodle tubes and slices of fish cake waiting to install themselves in your arteries. Tteokbokgi (duck-boh-kee) with cheese is the Korean equivalent of Puyallup fair nachos.
The path which I took to find myself photographing this starch mass was circuitous. As this week's review chronicles, I asked Kye Soon Hong and Eric Vigesaa, two foodies of the best sort, to help me translate ads for Federal Way restaurants in the Korean-language business directory. Not only did we find Garden, we discovered that Sik Kaek, which markets itself in English as a Japanese crab shack, touts its grilled pork large intestine and boneless steamed chicken feet to Korean diners. Another ad convinced us to try Bogul Bogul Cafe's special bo ssam.
Bo ssam's a familiar dish to anyone who's paid attention to the rise of David Chang, owner of New York's Momofuku Ssam Bar. Bogul Bogul caught our eye because it claimed to serve two unique types: "virgin" bo ssam and "grandmother" bo ssam. The difference, the waitress explained, is that in the virgin bo ssam (pictured at right), the shredded daikon isn't inserted between the leaves of pickled cabbage, while in the grandmother bo ssam, the folds of the kimchi have been penetrated by the radish. Bogul Bogul's virginal bo ssam doesn't include raw oysters or lettuce and herb leaves for you to roll up in a packet around the pork, kimchi, and daikon threads, leaving its flavor fairly one note, which is why the restaurant didn't make it into the review.
The cheese tteokbokgi, however, was a remarkable dish. Pictured at left is what tteokbokgi looks like when you buy it from one of the tens of thousands of street tents set up in Seoul, where women of a certain age stir and restir vats of pillowy rice noodles, occasionally recalibrating the sugar and heat in the chile sauce. Like nachos and cream cheese hot dogs, tteokbokgi is best enjoyed after several bottles of soju. And in fact, Bogul Bogul serves lots of the rice-based spirit, as well as flasks of milky, nutty, sweet-tart homemade makgeolli, an unfiltered rice wine.
The tteokbokgi with cheese was one of many anju, or drinking snacks, listed on the cafe's menu. Eating it involved plunging your chopsticks deep into the cheese lake, spearing or pinching the first solid thing they touched, pulling your chopsticks above your head as high as you could lift your arm, using the other hand to gather up the two-foot-long cheese strands stretching from chopsticks to plate, twirling them around until you finally managed to sever the link, wrapping the cheesy strings around the dredged object while you finally figured out what you'd gotten (hey, fish cake!), and finally bringing everything to your mouth to chew.
Was it good? Well, do you return from the state fair bragging to your friends about the tub of nachos you downed there? Let's just say that driving 25 miles to eat cheese tteokbokgi seems like an undue amount of effort. But by the time we left the restaurant, the cheese lake looked it had been through a prolonged drought.

As the snow started falling hard and fast Thursday afternoon, Joe Sallie tried to get to his paycheck - again. Last week's storm and the one arriving were book- ending his long wait to get paid.
The two storms created dramas for countless others Thursday. Most seemed to think all they could do was knuckle down, shovel and wait.
"I've probably helped more people out of the snow than I can count," Sallie said. "I like a challenge."
Waiting at a bus stop in southwest Denver, the 26-year-old paced up and back, making fresh tracks in the quickly covered sidewalk as he recalled the adventures of last week.
That storm froze belts to his 1987 Toyota 4-Runner and broke the water pump.
Still, he navigated a bus system staggered by the conditions last Friday to make it to the Brown Palace hotel for a debutante ball, where he worked as a caterer.
"That was a mission, getting downtown," he said.
Despite his efforts, Sallie waited in vain at the catering office Saturday for UPS to deliver the payroll.
When it didn't, he stepped outside to find a UPS truck stuck in the lot. Sallie helped the driver free the truck and went home.
Thursday, the check was supposed to be waiting for him. But now the new storm was barreling down.
Sallie shrugged.
"That's life in Colorado," he said. "You learn to love it, or you better just leave.
Andrew Baird, 89, holds a similar determination. When last week's snows started piling up at his Washington Park home, he took out the shovel and got to work.
"You should see the path I shoveled to my walk," Baird said. "I had to do it 6 inches at a time."
When neighbor Joanne Kerwin saw Baird starting work on the front walk, she took over. Baird protested, but Kerwin insisted.
Last week, Baird's wife of 64 years, Mary, gave Kerwin a chocolate snowman for her effort.

Thursday, Mary Baird gave Kerwin a hug.
"This is the third or fourth time she's shoveled our walk," Mary Baird said. "And she never wears a hat."
"People rallied," Kerwin said. "Absolutely. People were out shoveling other people's sidewalks. ... It's been fun."
Some rallied in other ways.
When unplowed streets in his Park Hill neighborhood blocked Jerel Wilkins from driving his Lexus, he left it at the curb. Thursday, someone sideswiped the car - but left a note in the mailbox with the driver's name and insurance information.
"That kind of made it for me," Wilkins said.
Wilkins worked patiently to shovel the snow from around the car, and he used his coat sleeve to clear the several inches of new snow that had collected on the windshield.
"What I'm about to do is put it in the driveway so nobody else hits it," he said.
As he worked, his mother, Pat Jones, arrived.
Jones, a U.S Postal Service clerk, said she swore when she learned a new storm was fast approaching.
At the Hoffman Heights post office in Aurora, the staff had finally caught up with the Christmas backlog created by last week's storm, she said.
Now this.
As Jones hurried to get out of the snow and under her porch, she shouted:
"Please don't bring another storm here. To me it's a nightmare. It's messing me up. I'm tired of it. It's a week since the last storm and they still haven't cleared the back streets."

Army Community Service honors Volunteers
December 25, 2012

YONGSAN GARRISON, Republic of Korea -- Volunteers were recognized for providing their selfless service to the Yongsan community during the Volunteer of the Quarter Recognition Ceremony here, Dec. 21.
Kimberly Moore, Army Volunteer Corps Coordinator program manager for U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan's Army Community Service, congratulated all of the nominees for their hard work and dedication throughout the year in support of the community.
"It feels great to be able to provide a ceremony to give recognition to those individuals that well deserve it," Moore said. "I hope that everyone continues to receive get satisfaction for their volunteering experience to helping others."
The VOQ ceremony recognizes and honors the military and civilian volunteers, who go out their way to assist in helping build a better ROK-U.S. alliance.
"It's a great honor to be recognized as Volunteer of the Quarter," said Magielyn Rogers, a volunteer at USAG Yongsan's ACS. "This definitely came as a surprise that I wasn't expecting at all, but I really appreciate everyone that nominated me for it."
After the certificates were presented, Paul Stuart, deputy to the garrison commander for USAG Yongsan, thanked all of the nominees for their service to the Area II Community. He also reemphasized the important role that everyone plays in helping to our ROK-US alliance stronger through our partnership.
"I want to thank all of the nominees for their support," Stuart said, "Your hard work and dedication will never go unrecognized and it is my pleasure to show my appreciation to all our volunteers."

We all know that Kate Winslet is a great actress. But it turns out she's pretty spectacular at something else, too: Being a mom.
Dismissing a misquote that said she was away from her kids Mia, 8, and Joe, 5, for 5 months while filming, Kate recently declared, "I'm an excellent mother."
That's not a statement you often hear, is it? A pretty good mom, sure. A mom who tries her hardest, definitely. But an "excellent" mom? That's a big claim for a job that tends to come with a healthy dose of worry and self-doubt.
But I say good for her for being so bold. There are a lot of amazing moms out there, though I'd guess not many of us would label ourselves that way, as Kate has.
I know that I'm far more likely to worry about the hour of Dora the Explorer or the lunch of chicken nuggets than to pat myself on the back for all of the stories read, tears wiped, coughs eased, cuddles given, lessons taught, games played and bedtime monsters chased away. Are you the same way?
There are no red carpets or awards ceremonies when it comes to motherhood, but maybe it's time we recognize our own great work.
So here's your chance: What makes you an excellent mom?

This might be a really dumb question, but how inappropriate is it for me to give wine as part of my gift for my kids' daycare teachers? I wouldn't give it to those under 21, of coarse, but it's the inappropriate? I am going to make a batch (30 bottles) at a local wine "making" place. Then I can make my own label....it's really cool.
They have about 10 people I'll have to buy for this year and I was thinking, wine, kitchen towel with the kids prints on it, and maybe a gift card???
What do you all think?

Can't preserve DV video Date/Time in rendered video ?
Wed Jan 01, 2014 9:31 pm
Hello everyone,
First of all, happy new year to the whole community !
My first question to this forum :
In each video extracted from my Camera recorder, which are DV videos, I have a Date and Time for each sequence, corresponding to the exact date and time when the sequence was recorded (well at least the date & time of the camera ).
In edited videos (with added music, titles and effects) that I saved back on my DV tapes, I still have this Date and Time information from the original sequences (even after edition).
These videos have been edited 10 years ago with Pinnacle Studio, a Windows software (at that time, I was still running windows )
When I capture these edited videos back on my Gentoo box, I can still see the date & time (in Kino for example, or even with dvgrab and the -srt option)
I would like to be able to preserve this Date & Time information in my new edited videos, the same way Pinnacle Studio did it, but with Kdenlive this time !
I still have the same recorder, and the captured videos, before edition, still show the date & time info.
But during rendering, it looks like I'm loosing this information : the final output doesn't have anymore this precious information !
(I tried Raw DV and AVI DV, PAL 4:3 format, same as input videos)
Does anybody know what steps I should follow to avoid loosing this timestamp ? I know it's possible since this old windows software did it, but I haven't been successfull till today with kdenlive...
EDIT : I'm using Kdenlive 0.9.2 and dvgrab 3.5

I seriously doubt that Kdenlive and MLT do preserve time code data, and I doubt they even could. I would suggest locking into ffmpeg, maybe it can handle such things. Kdenlive and MLT are not simply for cutting clips, they are powerful tools for compositing multiple sources even simultaneously. When you are compositing, time codes don't make any sense any more. What would be the tesulting time code from clip A with clip B screened in? I suppose there is a reason why the button for producing the final output from a project is called 'render'. The output is completely rendered anew, there is no simple copy process. Instead, the source clips gets decoded, then compositing is done, then the resulting stream of frames is encoded anew, possibly in a different format than the source clips.

You are Jack Conway, a former Detective Inspector and veteran of the Great War, now working as a Private Investigator.
Jack was born in 1880, an only child. He grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, where he underwent a violent and disruptive upbringing due to the excessive alcohol and gambling habits of his father, his mother died during childbirth.
As a direct result of his abusive childhood and traumatic experiences during the war; not long after he was posted home, Jack developed an acute parasomnia condition, somnambulism (sleep walking) often accompanied by vicious night terrors.
Date: September 6, 1921
You are currently assigned to nearby Providence, Rhode Island assisting the local police with a recent problematic case; a string of unexplained disappearances, most of whom are young women.
On day three, with no real leads and the investigation seemingly going nowhere, you are contacted by a mysterious Dr. Albert Landström; apparently a local resident and physician, whom seems to have intimate knowledge of the case.
That was the last thing you remember, as you suddenly awaken in the cellar of a strange house, your whereabouts unknown. Can you piece together this puzzle and escape unscathed?
Are these events even real...
...Or some kind of sick nightmare?
I can't believe a year has gone by since the release of the Parasomnia demo and I've been overwhelmed with the response and how it has been received by everyone.
So this will be a brief update on how things are going, the first level (the house from the demo) has been tweaked and improved. I've fixed the glitch which caused objects to fall through the floor and the frame rate should be a bit smoother too.
I've added more speech to the game, for example; if you pick up a chair or touch a picture, Jack will say something appropriate to that object.
I've edited the light casting objects in the game to provide real time shadows, so for example; if you throw something at a ceiling light, the shadows will be realistically rendered as the light moves when the object sways.
All in all, I have four nicely detailed levels. The first two are finished and the latter two need a bit more work. I've been working really hard on this on and off for the last year, it takes a long time to reach the kind of quality bar I'm looking for, especially when you're a one man team and have real life time constraints; so apologies for the length of time this is taking.
I'm still not sure when the full game will be ready, sometime after AAMFP I would imagine and I may release it in two parts.
Finally, thanks to everyone who played the demo and left feedback or rated it.

I have a cracked version of Amnesia, and its asking for a Seriel Code every time I run it, Please help, I am keen to play this CS
Press 1 about 13 or 14 times. Worked for me
Please buy a copy of the game and support the developers!
I agree, I bought the game but I do use that code when using full custom stories but yes, buy the game! it's not that expensive and it's really fun to play.
Very good mod! I really enjoyed the story and the gameplay was pretty good! Only thing is that I notice boxes/chairs that were thrown often glitched and I did have a crash. I really am looking forward to a full version!
Thanks for playing the demo, glad you enjoyed it. I've fixed the floor collision glitching for the final version.
I really enjoyed it so far. I have a lets play here Youtube.com sadly, it Fatal Error'd me when I entered the laboratory :(
Hi, strange, not seen that happen before. Did you get an error code?
I do yes, I would tell you what exactly it read but I'm currently uploading it to youtube. I'll post a link when it's finished so you've got evidence hopefully to help you with future projects
When is the full version coming out? Tracking, can't wait to do a let's play of this :3 Seems very promising :D
Hi, thanks. I'm aiming for some time next year, after the release of AMFP.
Too bad it crashes when i started it
You didn't overwrite any files did you?
Highest Rated (3 agree) 10/10
Excellent work put in to voice acting, story, and map design (besides the low FPS supposedly due to shadows), and the best part - No jump scares!

I'm currently running a 12-node Cassandra cluster storing 4TB of data, with a replication factor set to 3. For the needs of an application update, we need to change the configuration of our keyspace, and we'd like to avoid any downtime if possible.
I read on a mailing list that the best way to do it is to:
- Kill cassandra process on one server of the cluster
- Start it again, wait for the commit log to be written on the disk, and kill it again
- Make the modifications in the storage.xml file
- Rename or delete files in the data directories according to the changes we made
- Start cassandra
- Goto 1 with next server on the list
My questions would be:
- Did I understand the process well?
- Is there any risk of data corruption?
- During the process, there will be servers with different versions of the storage.xml file in the same cluser, same keyspace. Is it a problem?
- Same question as above if we not only add, rename and remove ColumnFamilies, but if we change the CompareWith parameter / transform an existing column family into a super one. Or do we need to change the name?
Thank you for your answers. It's the first time I'll do this, and I'm a little bit scared.

LEGO® NINJAGO® WORLD Guide: Everything You Need To Know Right Here
Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google+ The newest land at LEGOLAND® California Resort was opened up for the media to explore before...
If this will be your first time at the races, you might want to keep the day light by betting low dollar amounts on several races. Races are broken down into graded stakes based on several factors including age of the horse, distance of the race and whether it's a conditions race or a handicap race. Using the daily racing form, decide which races you are going to bet in and what horse you want to bet on. Before a race begins, you'll want to visit the paddock at the race track to get an up close look of the horses racing in the upcoming race.
For example, let's say you've visited the paddock before the race to see the horses up close and you choose Nechez Dawn, who is horse #4, to win that particular race. And you want to bet $5. So then, you'll tell the teller/clerk "5 dollars on #4 to win."
When making a bet, choose how you think the horse you are betting on will place.
Here are some more adventurous bets:
It's important to note that entry to the Del Mar race track, seating, and dining are all sold separately or in packages. The various admission tickets will get you access to certain areas. For a detailed list and seating locations, see the ticket guide. A more serious and seasoned better might not have time to sit for too long, so he or she might opt for a ticket without reserved seating.
If you are going to just have a fun day at the races without breaking the bank, then there are several seating and dining options. Red Star Café at O'Brien's Pub is a great place to eat and watch the races while you dine. No reservations are required, but you will want to get there very early to get a seat because it fills up fast.
If you want a little bit of a closer view to the action and are willing to pay more for dining, there are a variety of trackside restaurants. These require advanced reservations. The race track website has provided a fantastic video demo on how to go about making online restaurant reservations. This is a pleasant and relaxed (albeit pricey) way of experiencing the races. Of course, there are also a variety of concessions for those wanting a more casual dining experience. Seating without a restaurant reservation is arranged in a variety of options as well. For a complete list and view, see the ticket guide as well as the interactive map found on the race track website.

Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber Now Has Blue Eyes, Admits He Looks "Strange" (PHOTO)
Have you ever tried on different colored contact lenses? It's funny how different people can look when they just change their eye color. Justin Bieber normally has golden-brown eyes, but on October 18 he shared a photo on Instagram with blue peepers.
As he noted himself, ""I look strange with blue eyes."
Weird face aside, with blue eyes he kinda looks like that old teen heartthrob, Joey McIntyre of New Kids on the Block. Yes? No? Sort of?
Justin's fans, of course, love the change (however temporary) since he can do no wrong. As one fan wrote, "You look AMAZING with blue eyes! But honestly it don't matter what color your eyes are your still the most handsome guy in my eyes (: I love you Justin <3"
What do you think? Better with brown eyes? Keep the blue? Go for green next?

|Art Talk on 'Vermeer and Music: The Art of Love and Leisure'
|2013-08-23 13:30:00
|Google Art Project
|Whether in a cave lit by tallow candles, or in a cubicle aglow with code racing across a screen, artists are always challenged by the spaces around them. Pictorial space—the representation of a room, a landscape, or even just an abstract sense of place—crops up throughout the history of art. Geographic space—a region, a town, or a studio—can come to define a particular period within an artist's career. And more recently, the expansion of digital space—an area increasingly referenced spatially as "the cloud"—raises questions about authenticity, accessibility, and the relationship between a viewer and a work of art. Paintings by Richard Diebenkorn, currently on view at the +de Young Museum in the special exhibition Richard Diebenkorn: The #BerkeleyYears, address many of these concepts of space. On Friday, July 5 at 10am PST *join curators, scholars, archivists, and artists for a live Art Talk about the role of space in and around Diebenkorn's work*. Featured speakers include: de Young assistant curator of American art Emma Acker; artist and Diebenkorn scholar Mark Lavatelli; visual resources and art research librarian for the Diebenkorn Foundation Carl Schmitz; and de Young Google Art Project intern Sarah Kimmerle. #arttalks

Leeds is a buzzing metropolis of bars, music and general mayhem. It's renowned for its clubs and DJs and the city has unpretentious northern soul with a cheeky side – Leeds is a rouge of a city that will keep you up all night in a blur of beer-fueled flirting and banter.

Leeds is dripping with coolness right now.
The city is absolutely buzzing, a hotbed of music, fashion and revelry, and it's the last of these we've been particularly impressed with recently. The physical nature of Leeds means that restaurants, exhibitions, shopping centres, strip clubs and pubs can generally be reached on foot during your stag weekend in Leeds, and, thanks to straightforward A1/M1 & airport connections, everyone knows how to get there.The mix of locals, students and weekenders make for a broad spectrum of demographics, yet the half a million souls who live here can feel justifiably proud that the reputation of their city is unique – a wicked mix of innovative modernity and deep-rooted tradition. The city's solidly-cultivated Club & DJ reputation has helped dampen the despair felt by many who follow its proud-but-wounded football club, whilst the number of plush late-night bars is reward for its people's good taste and refusal to accept second best. A busy, confident place with good-humoured people and class in abundance, Yorkshire's rose has never smelled so good.
Leeds takes its punters' entertainment needs very seriously, providing a pedestrianised centre with a multitude of choice in shopping, eating and drinking. Areas like Call Lane, Headingley or the famous Corn Exchange, possess a plethora of swanky and minimalistic nightspots to cater for even the most difficult-to-please of stag weekend groups. You can easily incorporate a few drinks in each quarter of the city during a big session, thereby improving your geographical knowledge of Leeds whilst getting smashed at the same time.There's a smart-but-casual dress policy as a rule, so don't you be getting turned away as your fellow guests walk straight in to start proceedings without you, and there are stacks of activities to pick from on your Leeds stag weekend too, depending on how lazy or competitive the group vibe is. For those of you who like your stag venue with serious style and affordable panache, why not come t' Leeds?

"Having recently returned from our last night of freedom I thought I would share some feedback with you. Accommodation was great and pretty central for all our activities. Go karting really great fun although not advised with a hang over from hell. Nude life was brilliant also with a very professional tutor and model who interacted with the group really well. It was a unique experience that will remain with us for a long time, please pass on our thanks to Kerry and Rose. Baa Bar although good was a bit loud for our group and we ended up in a Weatherspoons and finished off in a casino. All in all a great weekend and I will pass on your details to anyone who is organising a stag weekend. "
Mathew Evans01/10/2014
"Brill day, paintballing was excellent, hotel was great, location was good too. Parking was a lilttle difficult and the casino didn't have any record of our group. But overall fantastic service and would recommend mnany thanks. Mat"
Shane Walker19/08/2014
"A great weekend was had by all, excellent job Last Night of Freedom- made it very easy for my job as best man. Wouldn't change a thing. Leeds is defo a hot spot for stag and hen do's and impossible not to have a great night- a few words of advice for those who like to try lots of different bars- go to a reputable strip club u get what you pay for, and rocking up to a busy bar in a group of ten lads is a bad idea, go in twos and threes as your more likely to be allowed in. That aside smiles all round!! :) "
Colin Rowley17/10/2012
"Great weekend. Clay shooting was first class and the lap dancing superb. "
Robbie buckley09/10/2012
"We all had a great time in Leeds. Last night of freedom made everything easy for me as the group leader. We couldn't of asked for a nicer hotel and location. Paintballing was brilliant. Night clubs were great and the whole weekend couldn't of went better, thanks again, Robbie from Dublin
Kevin Simpson11/09/2012
"Great weekend in Leeds, Thanks."
Robyn Lyn Evans29/05/2012
"Leeds is a cracking city...the hotel was round the corner from the main drinking area!"
Rob Bell05/05/2011
"I had a great weekend! Hotel was great, karting was great and Leeds was great. The hangover that lasted a week wasn't though! Ha. Would recommend to any one!"
Kevin Johnson05/05/2011
"Great weekend, thoroughly enjoyable (from what I can remember!) Only slight downside is the distance from the accommodation in Leeds to the Karting which cost quite a bit in taxi fares."
Damien Hylands02/02/2011
"Having never been clay pigeon shooting before I didn't really know what to expect but it ended up being the most fun in an afternoon that I've had with my clothes on.
Shooting at things with guns = awesome.
James Aspinall10/08/2010
"After fantastic unwavering patience from LNoF the night was upon us. Hotel was spot on both Clean and Good Location. Karting was well organised, safe and a duration. I cannot recommend the Booze Bus enough. Cracking Banter and it assured 19 Lads getting into a Bar/Club on a Saturday Night. VIP Entrance was also a massive blessing as we walked straight in past the huge queue in the pouring rain. Fantastic Night Fantastic Company. 5 Stars, would definitely use again."
Mike Macdonald07/07/2010
"Go karting was great although very expensive. It would have been better if it had lasted longer."
Adam Lineham29/06/2010
"We absolutely loved it, brilliant city, friendly people and perfect for stag/hen parties, very accommodating for fancy dress, recommend to anyone."
Scott Gingell23/06/2010
"I would strongly recommend Leeds for a stag weekend. Good drinking and eating places together with a lively, friendly atmosphere. First afternoon/night/early morning was so good, the stag didn't even make it out on the second! Not to worry, the rest of us more than made up for him!"
Luke Greenfield05/05/2010
"A very good location but was let down by average accommodation."
Anthony Gardner05/05/2010
"Had a great weekend, nightlife was good and had a wicked day at paintballing (regardless of the hangover) would do this again for sure."
Ashley Benbow21/04/2010
"Spot on weekend but paintballing was a long day and the balls are very expensive. Leeds was a cracking night out enjoyed by all."
Richard Barker06/04/2010
"The amount of times the guys said that I had organised a great weekend was great and that you helped me do it from Kazakhstan was great....you took all of the fears I had about the stag do and took them on yourself, thanks very much."

Mike Bell 15/05/2009
"The weekend was fantastic, I can speak for everyone in my party and they had a wonderful time. From start to finish it was excellent.
The Last Night of Freedom Team were excellent especially Cheryl nothing was too much trouble"
Jason Patterson11/11/2008
"There was a bit of a mix up with the names at the hotel but it was soon sorted. The shooting was first class but the minibus driver wasn't sure where we were going and we got there half an hour late but still got to shoot. the guys at the activity centre were top notch and I would recomend you to my friends."
Simon Waldren29/08/2008
"I was the Stag on this particular weekend in Leeds. All went very well, the location was good, the hotel spot on and the activities that we chose to do were great. There were lots of very positive comments made about the karting as being the best people had been to. All in all a cracking weekend and I still have my eyebrows!! "
Lee Burlace28/07/2008
"pigeon shooting is an absolute corker activity, great ice-breaker for those that did not know eachother, suits all ages and abilities!"
Stuart Campbell10/06/2008
"Had a great weekend, thanks guys.
Paintballing on the Saturday - was originally booked on for the full day, but decided we would leave at lunch.... not because we did not enjoy it... more because we were enjoying it so much, we had all spent a small fortune on paintballs, thunder flashes and smoke grenades!!
Sat night - I think the 'VIP' tickets could do with being renamed to 'entry tickets' for Tiger Tiger. Still had a great night though!
Go-karting on the Sunday afternoon... well recommended!
I would most certainly recommend LNOF, thanks for all the help guys!"
Tim Stevens23/05/2008
"Where do i start? A stag weekend is what you make it, and luckily i had a good group of mates to abuse me and make it a good laugh for everyone, from paying the lapdancers to whip me, to shooting the s**t out of me on the paint balling!! But all of this couldnt have happened without the excellent organisation skills of Last Night of Freedom - everything went without any problems at all, and i would highly recommend booking again, either another stag or just a lads weekend. Brilliant, thanks guys."
Kenneth Donovan06/05/2008
"Accomodation would have received an higher score other than the fact, that nobody came to make our room or top up the tea coffee facilities.
Paintballing was a little over the top with it being to long. A morning or afternoon would have sufficed and been more enjoyable, all day was to much following a night out.
Go Karting was excellent, could not be faulted."
Dean Baylis21/02/2008
"This service is great - I can't believe the deal we got - the hotel was fab and in a great location and worth the fee in full on its own.The directions and info given to us for the paint balling, clubs and go karting were bang on. we had a great time and i will be recommending this service to everybody who is daft enough to be getting married!!!!!!!!cheers again guys!"
Neil Strong27/11/2007
"Considering my lack of organisational skills and leaving the booking so late, everything went really smoothly! Thanks."
Andrew Farrell06/11/2007
"Leeds is good fun, just a bit depressing on a Sunday in the morning while waiting for a train. Not a great deal to do."
Kevin Bailey02/11/2007
"We went to a comedy club. We did paintballing & also went greyhound racing.
It really was a superb weekend. We all had a superb time & laughed & drink beer like never before.
I would not hesitate to recomend Last Night of Freedom to anybody!!"
David Backus01/11/2007
"Great trip organised by the guys and girls of Last Night of Freedom to leeds, everyone had a great time some more than others. Good location leeds plenty of night life and things to do."
Daniel Broome31/10/2007
"I was really happy with my stag weekend. Only problem was the mad track racing was quite far away which i was not aware of and it cost quit alot in taxis but saying that it was great fun when we got there."
Dan Bache31/10/2007
"Leeds was a great night out. The comedy club had some great acts on and outs is a great mood for a night of boozing and more laughs - meeting all the hen do's was a huge bonus!!"

I am a cultural and medical anthropologist. My previous work as a medical doctor and public health researcher in Indigenous health settings in Australia has led me to pursue two intersecting lines of theory and empirical research:
• Australian racial politics: Indigeneity and Whiteness, settler colonialism and postcolonialism, racism and anti-racism. Part of this research is presented in my forthcoming book, Trapped in the Gap: Doing Good in Indigenous Australia (Berghahn, 2015).
• Science and technology studies: the anthropology of biomedical research, genomics, bioethics, and public health
I am interested in supervising postgraduate projects related to these areas. My publications are available on my academia site: https://deakin.academia.edu/EmmaKowal
• For news see Deakin Anthropology blog: https://blogs.deakin.edu.au/anthropology/
- Bachelor of Arts, University of Melbourne, 2000
- Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery, University of Melbourne, 2000
- Doctor of Philosophy, University of Melbourne, 2007
Career highlights
•In 2014, I received the Paul Bourke Award for Early Career Research, awarded by The Academy of Social Sciences Australia (ASSA).
•I was awarded a National Health & Medical Research Council Postdoctoral Research Fellow in 2007-2012, followed by an ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) that I am currently completing. In June 2014 I joined Deakin University as Associate Professor of Anthropology and Principal Research Fellow in the Centre for Citizenship and Globalisation.
•I have received 17 grants and consultancies worth $3.3 million AU.
•Key positions include the Convenor of the Asia-Pacific Science, Technology and Society Network (2012-2014) Editor of Postcolonial Studies journal (international journal ranked A in 2010 ERA, from 2013- ), and Deputy Director of the National Centre for Indigenous Genomics, Australian National University (2014-).
•I review for 40 journals and publishers across anthropology, science and technology studies, Indigenous studies, public health, and bioethics.
•I have taught anthropology, Indigenous studies, postcolonial studies and science and technology studies in undergraduate, postgraduate and professional development settings. I have completed 3 PhDs and 12 minor theses/honours students. In 2012, I taught a graduate science and technology studies course at Nanjing University, China. My achievements in teaching were recognised in 2013 by a National Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning, awarded by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching.
•I have been a visiting scholar/fellow at the University of California, Berkeley; the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin; the Universidade Federal de Santa Caterina, Florianopolis, Brazil; and in 2015 I will be a Visiting Professor at Yale University.
Knowledge areas
My current areas of interest include:
- Australian racial politics, especially Indigeneity and Whiteness
- Settler colonialism and postcolonialism, racism and anti-racism
- Science and technology studies, particularly genomics
- All aspects of Indigenous health
- Bioethics, biopolitics and public health
Research projects
I have two main research projects:
- Trapped in the Gap: Doing Good in Indigenous Australia (Berghahn, 2015)
This project draws on ethnographic research with white, middle-class, left-wing professionals who work in Indigenous health. I produced an analysis of Indigenous governance in the self-determination era which I term 'postcolonial logic'. I argue that the twin desires of equality and difference - to make Indigenous people statistically the same as non-Indigenous people (to 'close the gap') but maintain an essential cultural difference - work in productive tension within the Australian project of postcolonial justice and within other settler states. My book provides an historical, cultural and psychoanalytic understanding of these desires and their effects.
- From scientific specimen to Indigenous cultural property: The collection and use of Indigenous DNA since the 1960s
Thousands of blood samples collected from Indigenous Australians lie in institutional freezers across the world. Once considered the property of scientists, samples collected for medical research and population genetics are increasingly seen as Indigenous cultural heritage. This transdisciplinary study investigates the provenance and use of Indigenous sample collections held in Australia. Contributing to anthropology, history, science and technology and Indigenous studies, this project addresses problems posed by the collection, storage and use of DNA from Indigenous donors for scientific research and biobanks.

It was the mystery looming over Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof's low-key 18th birthday celebrations on July 22 - just where are the missing millions she's due to inherit from her tragic rock-star father Michael Hutchence?
RELATED: Tina Hutchence begs: 'Come home Tiger Lily!'
"He would have hated this outcome to his will," claims the charismatic singer's younger brother Rhett, who fears the puzzle may never be unravelled.
"Michael worked very hard for what he achieved."
The legendary INXS frontman was widely believed to be worth up to $30 million when he hanged himself at Sydney's five-star Ritz-Carlton hotel in 1997.
Yet when Michael's estate was finally settled in 2005 - five years after Paula's death from a heroin overdose, with four-year-old Tiger found playing beside her body – the executor's report advised his family there was no money for those due to inherit.

Michael, it appeared, was technically bankrupt – although he certainly did not foresee that outcome when he revised his will a year before his death, leaving the first $500,000 of his estate to Greenpeace and Amnesty International, and the rest divided 50/50 between Tiger and his family.
"The will was black and white," Rhett, 52, explains exclusively to New Idea.
"He wanted his family to have his hard-earned wealth, and that's where it goes weird.

Just curious what you all think... my husband and i disagree.
Just curious what you all think... my husband and i disagree.
Doesn't that leave a stain...on the kids and the bathtub?┬Ā I've never heard of doing that.┬Ā I know DD used to have these little bath fizzy things that would slightly tint the water, but that was it.
L-Wife to M(07/15/05), Momma to H (10/02/06) & E( 02/20/13)
Well, I've never directly put food coloring in the tub.┬Ā DD and I once made colored ice cubes with just a drop of food coloring in each cube, then we melted them in the tub.┬Ā But that was pretty watered down so it didn't stain.
I think it just depends on how you do it.┬Ā They do make bath color things for kids.┬Ā I think Crayola makes them.
Loving my beautiful daughter born 12/2007
Missing my two sons, 12/2005 & 10/2009
and an early miscarried bean 10/2006
I have crayola bath colors, fizzies and things but since food color stains I wouldnt put it in bath(stain bath or kids.)
Food coloring put directly in the tub might stain.┬Ā It can also stain hands temporarily (YDD had blue hands for a bit after an art project), so I'd be careful.
How about adding a few drop to water, freezing it, and then letting the kids play with the ice cubes?┬Ā It would be so diluted, I don't think you'd have a prob with staining that way.┬Ā They also sell tub paints that you can use, but I'm not a huge fan of them.┬Ā We got these as a gift, I was so happy when we ran out, because it got all over the tub, and I needed to clean it out immediately or it left a color ring.┬Ā There are also bathtub crayons (also somewhat of a pain, but they come off).
Mom to 2 Leo girls (8 & 6) - I am blessed!
I wouldn't do it either.┬Ā┬Ā I give my child a bath to clean him and I think putting food colouring in would just defeat that purpose.┬Ā┬Ā Just my humble opinion.┬Ā┬Ā
They make colored bath tablets. I got them at walmart on the shampoo aisle for $3 for 100 tabs. It doesn't stain even if ds holds it in his hand while it disolves. It's been fun talking about how two colors combine to make a different color. I would use food coloring as it wouldt stain if you made it dark enough.
Educator and mother to one incredible miracle.
Colored bath tablets would be fine for special occasions but I would never put straight food dye into the tub.
Fun special occasion tub.
Glow sticks in the tub are wonderful play fun
Mama to Westley 5/24/08 and Xander 2/21/10
I have! I also added it to shaving cream to make paint. ┬ĀSuper fun. ┬ĀI figure you put it in your body, so it is safe for your outsides. ┬Ā
