No joke, here's what happened this week:
Tuesday during school, Bunny Jr. (H) caught a classmate (D) stealing from the teacher. H tells teacher, B decides he needs to be taught a lesson.
While on line for lunch, D tells all the kids H likes a Britney Spears song, so that means H is a big gay girl. All the kids laugh, H shrugs it off.
After school on the school bus, D starts the whole "H is a big gay girl" thing and starts getting his hands in H's face but does not strike. H slaps D's hand out of his face so that D can not hit him in the face, and that's when D punches H in the ribs. H comes home with a small, fist-shaped mark on his rib cage.
At this point I should mention a few things:
1) D is in H's class, on his bus, and lives in our neighborhood.
2) H is a skinny kid with glasses, and an honor roll student, D is big and not honor roll material. D also lost his father a year or two ago and lives alone with his mother, as his 2 older siblings are in the Marines.
3) Both boys are 10 years old.
I did NOT report this on Tuesday because of two reasons. First, everyone has a bad day. Once, it's a bad thing. But twice, it's a pattern and I will get involved. Still, everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, right? Also, we have always taught H that you NEVER STRIKE FIRST but of someone else attacks you and starts s....stuff, then you DEFEND YOURSELF and you finish it. And technically he struck first by slapping D's hand away.
Wednesday, all was quiet on the 5th grade front.
TODAY was bad. Capital B.
Today, D started on the bus again and threatened to beat up H. He came over, got all up in H's face, and H punched him in the rib cage and then kicked him in the kibbles-n-bits. D doubles over, crying, calls H a "wussy." H laughs and goes "really? Who's crying and who didn't take a hit?"
H counters with "who cares? My mom is a firearms instructor and has two pistols."
D says "well a full auto AK-47 beats 2 pistols. And I'm coming over to your house at 3 today."
Nobody showed up.
Tonight was PTA night. I had a talk w. the teacher, she said to tell the Principal and if the Principal does not make a report, SHE will.
I talk to the principal, who talks to H and she takes a bunch of notes. I believe she is filing a report. She was pretty upset because D was communicating a threat, and that is NOT ok. She said she will "take care of it" and also talk to both boys and give them tools to de-escalate and ignore each other.
I was given advice by two LEO friends to call my local PD and get someone out to take a report. That way, local PD will go to D's mom and talk to her (not me. I don't know if she's normal or psycho, and despite my best efforts, I don't know that it won't turn into a shouting match, you know? I might be calm and rational, but look at the monster SHE raised, maybe she's nuts? Maybe she carries? Maybe she'll try and kick my butt or shoot me?). And also this way it will be on record so that if H does have to defend himself and ends up hurting D, it won't be that H is the bully, there will be a record of D's threats against H.
So let me ask you. H is my one and only kid, and I didn't quite go through this as a child. HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE THIS SITUATION? Am I being an idiot, calling the PD? I really don't like drama, but as someone else pointed out, I also don't want to sit at my kid's hospital bedside, asking "why didn't I get more involved."
Note, we have a zero-tolerance policy here. Even if D starts it, if H swings back, they will BOTH get suspended or expelled.
What should I do?

Compare the nutrient value of various cuts of beef in our handy interactive guide. Compare up to four different cuts at once.
The nutrient data for beef cuts are based on cuts that have been trimmed of visible fat.» Learn more
The nutrient data for beef cuts are based on cuts that have been trimmed of visible fat. Values for individual cuts may be higher or lower than those shown here due to natural variation, grade, how well the product is trimmed, cooking method and degree of doneness.
Values for individual packages of ground beef may be higher or lower than those shown here due to natural variation, differing retailer or processor formulations, cooking method, degree of doneness and level of draining.
Although we strive to make the information in this section helpful and accurate, we make no representation or warranty of any kind regarding it. The Beef Information Centre disclaims all liability of any kind whatsoever arising from use of this information.
Nutrient values for Canadian beef were last updated in the 1980's. Since that time the Canadian beef grading system changed to identify different levels of marbling. Marbling refers to the very fine flecks of fat in beef. AAA grade beef has more marbling than AA beef, which in turn has more marbling than A beef. The recent nutrient analyses were conducted to provide current and reliable information on the nutrient content of Canadian beef.
Page Up
These data are from theCanadian Nutrient File 2007b. They are based on extensive nutrient analyses by an independent, fully accredited laboratory on a representative sample of Canadian beef steaks and roasts and ground beef, both raw and cooked.
The study sample was designed to represent the Canadian beef supply. Analyses were conducted over a 5-year period with samples from all four seasons throughout the year. Comprehensive nutrient analyses were conducted on a total of 26 different beef cuts, including 14 steaks and 12 roasts. At least 12 samples per grade were analyzed for each cut. Nutrient data were compiled for both raw and cooked samples from all 3 grade levels, for 3 different trim levels.
The nutrient values were calculated based on a weighted average of the data for threegrades of Canadian beef (AAA, AA and A).
The weighted average took into the account the market share of these three "A" grades.
Approximate market share of Canada AAA, Canada AA and Canada A beef grades
Consumers generally are unaware of the grade of beef they are buying or eating. The mix of grades at retail stores varies from store to store and from day to day. In most cases, Canadians purchase a mixture of AA and AAA grade beef at grocery stores. Only about 3% of the beef sold in Canada is grade A. The market share for the three grades would also be representative of beef purchased at food service (unless they state that they use a specific grade).
Beef average represents values that were calculated based on the weighted average for cuts on the carcass and the market share of the three 'A' grades based on Canadian beef production levels. Thus, these values represent the beef supply available for consumption in Canada. These values are also referred to as 'beef composite' in theCanadian Nutrient File 2007b.
Cooked and raw nutrient values should not be compared side by side, since both are based on 100 g. 100 g raw beef yields about 65 g cooked beef. In other words, comparing the nutrient contents of 100 g raw beef and 65 g cooked beef would be a more appropriate comparison. See also "What is 'yield'?".
Values on Nutrition Facts tables may vary from those on this site and in the Canadian Nutrient File (CNF) due to:
Fresh beef cuts sold at retail (without any added ingredients) are exempt from mandatory nutrition labelling. Retailers who choose to sell beef with a Nutrition Facts table must provide nutrient values on theraw product as sold. While data from the same nutrient analyses will be used for calculating the numbers for use in the Nutrition Facts tables, those values may differ from those in this resource because a different set of regulations govern the nutrition labelling of foods. For example, specific rounding rules apply to the values on Nutrition Facts tables. Thus, the nutrient data are not intended for nutrition labelling. See the2003 Guide to Food Labelling and Advertising for labelling regulations.
These values are not designed for use in nutrition labelling. Processors and retailers are reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with the detailed requirements of the Food and Drugs Act and its regulations.
The BIC publication The Nutrient Value of Canadian Beef was published before Health Canada finalized the values that would appear in the Canadian Nutrient File 2007b (CNF). In addition, the independent laboratory used a different method for calculating Niacin Equivalents than used for the CNF.
The updated nutrient values for Canadian beef do differ from the nutrient values for US beef. The difference is due to methods of production used in each country.
All the data for cooked ground beef are based on product that was drained well after cooking.
Rinsing cooked Regular Ground Beef with hot water after draining it well, reduces the fat content significantly. This method can be used for crumbles that are added to items such as spaghetti sauce, chilli, etc., although it may reduce the beef flavour. Rinsing of extra lean and lean ground beef has little effect on the fat content.
'Lean only' refers to beef that has been trimmed of visible fat. It includes only lean muscle tissue and marbling.
The yield is the weight of the beef item after cooking. It will vary depending on the cut, the amount of refuse (e.g., bone), the trim level and the degree of doneness (e.g., beef cooked to rare will yield more than beef cooked to well done). For example, 100 grams of raw lean ground beef yields approximately 65 grams after cooking. See also "How does cooking impact yields and nutrient retention?".
Trim the fat from beef, before or after cooking, to significantly reduce the fat content.
Raw beef
Reduce the fat content of raw outside round steak by up to 35% by trimmingthe visible fat before cooking for recipes such as stir-fries or stews.
Cooked beef
Reduce the fat content of cooked sirloin steak by trimmingthe visible fat before eating the steak.
Based on consumer research conducted for the Beef Information Centre in 2005, almost 80% of Canadians report that they trim visible fat from beef either before and/or after cooking.
Due to loss of moisture and fat, average cooking yields are about 64%. This means that you need about 150 g of raw beef to yield 100 g cooked. On average, about 45% of water and 30% of fat is lost in cooking. Yields and the retention of nutrients vary depending on the cooking method used. Dry heat methods, such as roasting or broiling, tend to increase nutrient retention compared to moist heat cooking methods, such as braising or roasting in liquid.
There is a small difference in fat content between the different grades. A 100 g serving of AAA grade beef has only 1.5 g more total fat than a serving of A grade beef based on a composite for each grade, raw and cooked. This is true for Lean Only, 0" and 1/8" trim levels.

There are many Mark Littles in the world. This one is the best.
The comedian, actor and writer did improv in Vancouver for five years before moving to Halifax to further his comedy career (as one does). He became fluent in stand-up and sketch comedy and, in 2006, he was voted Halifax's Best Comic. He would win that award four years running.
In 2009, Mark won Canada's top two stand-up comedy competitions: the Just For Laughs Homegrown Competition and the Yuk Yuk's Great Canadian Laugh Off, which came with a $25,000 grand prize. Mark was pleased.
Mark is one of the founding members of the sketch comedy group Picnicface, whose television show (Picnicface) aired on The Comedy Network in 2012. Picnicface also released a book in 2011 (Picnicface's Canada, HarperCollins), and a movie, Roller Town, which Mark co-wrote and starred in, distributed by D Films. Roller Town opened the 2011 Atlantic Film Festival and had its U.S. premiere at the 2012 Slamdance Festival in Utah. It also screened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York as part of the 2012 Canadian Front Film Festival in 2012. It is currently available on American Netflix.
Mark currently lives in Toronto. He plays Simon Hunt in the CBC sitcom Mr. D (Wednesdays at 8 pm). He has written for This Hour Has 22 Minutes and starred in one episode of Jason Priestly's HBO series Call Me Fitz. He's opened for Paul F. Tompkins in both Canada and the U.S. and he's appeared in the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival the past four years, filming three gala performances in the process. Mark recorded a Comedy Now special in 2011.
As a stand-up and sketch performer, Mark has appeared at the San Francisco Sketchfest, the UCB in LA and NYC, the Hollywood Improv, and the Gotham in New York. He's a favourite of the Halifax Comedy Festival and a regular contributor to The Debaters on CBC Radio/TV. He is also one half of the team responsible for the award-winning web series Dad Drives. (He plays the dad.)
Can the other Mark Littles lay claim to these exact accomplishments? They cannot.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Shark attacks or sightings are plaguing Florida and Manhattan Beach, CA this week. Two shark sightings in Manhattan Beach this August 2013 have shocked residents, even though no attacks occurred. Meantime, in Florida, one local girl is detailing her escape from a shark attack this week as well.
In Manhattan Beach, CA, there have been two shark sightings this week, namely on August 27 and August 28. The first day the sharks were spotted in the waters near Manhattan Beach at Rosecrans Avenue. The sharks are believed to have been juvenile Great White Sharks. They were spotted weeks after Peter Wallerstein of the Marine Animal Rescue claims to have found dead sea lions with tails bitten off in the area.
Then on August 28, a surfer spotted a shark fifty feet into the water near the Lifeguard Tower at 34th Street in Manhattan Beach. David Jina told local news "I had paddled out and was surfing with the others. While waiting for waves I was sitting on board at the time of sighting. A friend said she saw a shark in one of the cresting waves. A few moments later several of the people in our party saw the shark as well. Two surfers had it swim between them in only 3 – 4 feet of water. I paddled over to it to get a closer look and followed the shark for a bit until it appeared to turn towards me. At which point I made my exit. The shark was 5 – 6 feet in length, very girthy, and dark in color."
And in Florida, Riley Breihan survived a shark attack in WinterHaven Park in Ponce Inlet last weekend. She was attacked and suffered two bites. File photo above.

Free iPad, iPhone apps worth getting today start with "Disney's Villians Challenge" as WWDC 2014 brings lots of new features to iPad and iPhone, according to a June 2 article in Softpedia. Traditionally Apple announces the features of the next iOS at the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) and this year Apple is expected to follow the same pattern.
The free iPad, iPhone app "Disney's Villians Challenge" contains 18 mini-games with Maleficent, Captain Hook and others in a race against evil. These games include painting Maleficent's castle and dressing Henchmen, freeing Dalmatian, brushing Croc's teeth and lots more. While this app is free for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and six games are free, the balance require one IAP to unlock them.
Lots of exciting changes are coming to iPad and iPhone with the new iOS 8 that Apple should reveal today at WWDC 2014. "Maps" for example will now include transit directions among other enhancements.
Other changes that Apple are bringing to iOS 8 for iPad and iPhone include removing "iTunes Radio" from iOS and launching "iTunes Radio" as a separate app, much like "Pages" or "Numbers" is a separate app. Unlike "Pages" and "Numbers", "iTunes Radio" will be free. "iTunes Radio" currently has 40 million listeners in the United States and Australia and Apple plans on launching "iTunes Radio" across the world.
Other leaks include the possibility the Apple will remove the "Game Center" app and add the "Healthbook" app. "Healthbook" will contain all the health and fitness info generated by wearable sensors, like Nike's Fuelband. Info that "Healthbook" is expected to gather is heart rate, distance walked, blood pressure, weight and nutrition.
One of the features of "Healthbook" will be an "Emergency Card" that is akin to the current free app "Emergency Contact Data." "Healthbook" is thought to be a health and fitness equivalent of "Passbook."
Improvements to Siri include integration with Shazam, the free music identification app. Music is a major focus of Apple since Apple introduced the iPod and continues to be a major theme of developers.
The free iPad, iPhone app, "LeechTunes" lets you listen to music by creating custom gestures, an easier and safer way to control the way you listen to music while driving or jogging. "LeechTunes" includes 21 different skins.
"Disney's Villians Challenge" needs iOS 6.0 or higher. This free iPad, iPhone app, is compatible with iPod touch and is iPhone 5 optimized.
"LeechTunes" requires iOS 5.0 or higher and is compatible with iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. This free app is iPhone 5 optimized.

Judy Lanyon
My JBU story: Judy Lanyon
Judy Lanyon's JBU journey began more than 20 years ago when, as a high school graduate, she considered enrolling on the main campus in Siloam Springs. "I initially wanted to go to John Brown University when I started college, but due to other circumstances, I was unable to [enroll]."
Instead, Lanyon found herself driving along the interstate in Central Arkansas in 2007 with a couple of years of college under her belt, but no bachelor's degree. When she saw a billboard about the JBU Degree Completion Program in Little Rock, she decided it was time to finish her degree at the university that captured her attention two decades ago. Lanyon started in the LR49 cohort in January 2008, and has found the Degree Completion Program to be a perfect fit for her lifestyle.
"I can't say, in the traditional college setting, trying to work and raise a family while finishing my degree would have worked as well as the Degree Completion Program did for me," Lanyon said. "Going through one class every five weeks with the same students makes it so that anyone can obtain their goal of finishing a degree."
It was that goal of finishing her bachelor's degree and the desire to show her children the importance of education that motivated Lanyon to enroll in the JBU Degree Completion Program. "The first night of class, everyone shared that they were at JBU to fulfill a dream. That was me. It took me a long time to get here. I had to show my kids that education is valuable, that it was important enough for Mom to go back and to sacrifice."
The cohort model in the organizational management program helped Lanyon and her classmates in LR49 form a lifelong bond. "You walk in with apprehension and fear, looking at this group of people they're telling you you're going to become good friends with, and thinking 18 months is a long time," Lanyon said. "You begin the program, you begin to get to know the people, and you become a family. That is more important than anything you could do, having that group of people that you get to know and can rely on, and you email and you can vent your frustrations and your fears and know they're feeling the same thing."
To Lanyon, the support system afforded by the JBU Degree Completion Program extended beyond the cohort. "The program was amazing," Lanyon said. "The support isn't just from your classmates, it's from your professors. They care about you. They're available. They will listen to you. You have staff in Northwest Arkansas that you can e-mail and their immediate response is genuine concern and genuine prayer."
While the program was academically challenging, Lanyon is happy she made the choice."Looking back on it, I wouldn't change a thing. Any sacrifice I made to get to this point was well worth it. You study hard, you keep up with the reading and the homework and suddenly you're looking at the end and thinking, 'Where did the time go?' You begin to look forward to those classes that you have with [other students], and you begin to dread the time that you're not seeing them every week and you don't have that contact. It's not only a friendship, it's a family."
Lanyon and her LR49 classmates graduated in December 2009 with bachelor's degrees from JBU.
"I'm excited to say that I achieved my dream and I've shown my kids the value of education. It's something I did for my family, but more importantly, for me. If you've never fulfilled your dream of finishing your education, I strongly urge you to enroll in the JBU Degree Completion Program. To come through a group with Christians and to know that you have that support is unlike anything else."

OK ladies, we're into the third week of January and just one question. Are you having trouble staying motivated through your workout sessions? How about changing up your workout music? Listening to music is known to take your mind off of fatigue and distract your mind when you're exercising but if you're not listening to something that will pump you up you're going to just waste your time flipping through your iPod finding the right song instead of actually working out. Also listening to music can help you keep a good pace and motivates you to move while working as well as elevates your mood and depending on the beat of the music makes you work out harder and faster...all the things you want to do in the first place.
'The benefits of music are largest for self-paced exercise—in other words those sports where some of the work involved is in deciding when to act, as well as how to act. This means all paced exercises, like rowing or running, rather than un-paced exercises like judo or football. My speculation is that music helps us perform by taking over a vital piece of the task of moving, the rhythm travels in through our ears and down our auditory pathways to the supplementary motor area. There it joins forces with brain activity that is signaling when to move, helping us to keep pace by providing an external timing signal. Or to use a sporting metaphor, it not only helps us out of the starting blocks but it helps to keep us going until we reach the line.' (Source: BBC Future)
Not sure what songs you should have on your workout play list? Think fast, strong, laced with beats (Latin-inspired beats are excellent for moving to considering Pitbull made it twice on the list and Zumba is THE craze!) and above all catchy to get you motivated. The top 20 songs of 2013 (in no particular order) that should be in your iPod to workout to are:
"Timber" Pitbull, Ke$ha
"Roar" Katy Perry
"Applause" Lady Gaga
"Clarity" Zedd ft. Foxes
"Can't Hold Us" Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
"Let The Groove In" Justin Timberlake
"Under Control" Calvin Harris, Alesso, Hurts
"Live It Up" Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull
"Work B**ch" Britney Spears
"My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light Em Up)" Fall Out Boy
"I Love It" Icona Pop
"I Need Your Love" Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding,
"Now" Paramore
"Bubble Butt" Major Lazer f/ Bruno Mars, Tyga, 2 Chainz and Mystic
"Radioactive" Imagine Dragons
"Freaks"French Montana f/ Nicki Minaj
"Up In The Air" 30 Seconds to Mars
"The Monster" Eminem, Rihanna
"Wild" Jessie J, Big Sean
"Slow Down" Selena Gomez
All these songs can be downloaded from iTunes as well as Spotify or any other music source you might use. Just make sure they're compatible with your listening device!

No, I'm not in favor of intrusive government, but sometimes government has to intrude. We now have two government agencies deciding on whether or not to allow cell phone usage on commercial airlines. Can you imagine sitting next to some loudmouth blowhard as he yaks away spewing out some insidious, and boring conversation from one coast to another? What if you had two loudmouths on either side of you doing the same thing? This could easily happen if our government decides it's okay for passengers to begin making and taking phone calls on all flights. I can't stand listening to almost anyone's conversation especially if that person is speaking loudly. Trust me, in an airplane, there is noise on any flight: the engines, people talking or worse than that-babies crying--all at 35,000 feet!
Needless to say, there's no escape at 35,000 feet. Once begun, you will be a prisoner on a flight with a loud talking moron, and this moron like so many others---has endless talk time. Our collective fate is in the hands of two federal agencies: The Department of Transportation and The Federal Communications Commission. The DOT put out a long online plea on why this blessed ban NEEDS TO CONTINUE! The FCC feels, for whatever freaking reason, to lift the ban, and lower the boom of multiple voices chatting away on what was once referred to.."as the friendly skies". There won't be many friends left when sitting next to a loud talker. 9/11 might seem like a cakewalk after a year of cell phone calls on airlines. I've sat near crying infants on airplanes who, if I would have been allowed, could have utilized a small amount of corporal punishment to quiet them down (or at least on their parents). Nothing really surprises me anymore about America, and our insanity, which, as a baby boomer, I've seen enhance over the past fifty years. I would be against allowing Rap music on all commercial flights. I was on a flight almost ten years ago, where some young twit was allowed to bring his puppy, which was cute until it crapped and smelled up the cabin. No, at this point, we need our government to step up and do the right thing: keep the ban on in-flight cell phones.
Despite what many think, government can do good things. Social Security may be too much like socialism for you right-wingers out there, but it has been a savior to millions over time who never saved anything for their senior years. If you check now, the numbers on those who have saved much of anything for retirement is frightening. I don't care what anyone says, I think the government (state-local -federal ) was correct in mandating seat belts. It has saved lives, and over time conditioned people into wearing them. I also applaud the mandating of no-smoking indoors. Like it or not, sometimes in life, people are just too ignorant to what is best. You can mimic what you hear on Fox News or Glenn beck, but these cartoon characters are out to make a buck by railing against all things government. Those idiots too stupid to form opinions on their own, simply allow these creeps to think for them, and would never admit that government can do things correctly.
We will see how the cell phones on airline debate works out, but I would make a bet that even if the ban is lifted-it might just well be reinforced within a year. There is no sane reason people need to talk on the phone when traveling. I would say okay to a sort of in-flight phone booth on a plane, but they did have in-flight phones on planes in the past, and they vanished--I'm assuming from non-use. In the end, we all need to take a break from the internet, our cell phones, and communicating endlessly over insipid subjects like we do on Facebook Let's hope we don't have conversations one day about the good old days when airplanes didn't allow cell phone use. Haven't we all witnessed enough horror in our lives: why continue that now with airline cell phone use?

Literally every Flames goal has been because of an egregious Red Wings error chased by terrible goaltending.— Sean Gentille (@seangentille) March 13, 2013
I called it a clusterfuck after the first goal and it never stopped. Five goals that were each the result of a complete and utter defensive breakdown and lack of goaltending. And I don't want to throw Jonas Gustavsson under the bus here, but he's gotta stop one of those. It wouldn't have mattered for the outcome but he didn't make a single save when he was called upon to, until the penalty shot after everything was wrapped up.
And no, "Waive everyone and play the kids!" is not the answer. The Wings need some steady hands here. Team's too young by Wings standards.— George Malik (@georgemalik) March 13, 2013
Very much disagree with this. That Brendan Smith had a bad game on defense (and he did) does not mean that Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar shouldn't be getting chances with the top six forwards. Or, for that matter, that Petr Mrazek shouldn't be getting another look. Dump everyone and call up the entire Griffins team? Of course not. There is no reason, though, for Nyquist to be on the third line when Justin Abdelkader is skating with Pavel Datsyuk. If the Wings are going to lose games like this, I'd rather it be from rookie mistakes on the top lines than lack of talent there.
Just need to forget that one. Some nights all of your mistakes turn into goals.— Winging It In Motown (@wingingitmotown) March 14, 2013
I rarely say you should forget about a game because you lose the chance to learn from it. This one was so bad, I agree that it's best to just forget it and move on.
Was on the phone playing tech support for a bit so didn't have time for pre-game notes. Filppula and Lashoff in, Tootoo and White out, Gustavsson starts.
Looking like it's gonna be one of those games...
Of course it has to be on a late night, too Did they ever say why Tootoo was scratched? I am still surprised he was the chosen one instead of a few other players.

Healthy scratch. I'm not surprised, Wings wanted scoring in the form of Nyquist, have enough grit.

Nitrogen tetroxide consists principally of the tetroxide in equilibrium with a small amount of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The purified grade contains less than 0.1 per cent water. Nitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) has a characteristic reddish-brown colour in both liquid and gaseous phases. The solid tetroxide is colorless. N2O4 has an irritating, unpleasant acid-like odour. N2O4 is a very reactive, toxic oxidiser. It is non-flammable with air; however, it will inflame combustible materials. It is not sensitive to mechanical shock, heat, or detonation. Nitrogen dioxide is made by the catalytic oxidation of ammonia; steam is used as a diluent to reduce the combustion temperature. Most of the water is condensed out, and the gases are further cooled; the nitric oxide is oxidised to nitrogen dioxide, and the remainder of the water is removed as nitric acid. The gas is essentially pure nitrogen tetroxide, which is condensed in a brine-cooled liquefier. 1959 production amounted to 60,000 tonnes per year. In carload lots of one-ton cylinders, the price was $ 0.15 per kg. By 1990 NASA was paying $ 6.00 per kg due to environmental regulations.
Rocket propellant RP-1 is a straight-run kerosene fraction, which is subjected to further treatment, i.e., acid washing, sulphur dioxide extraction. Thus, unsaturated substances which polymerise in storage are removed, as are sulphur-containing hydrocarbons. Furthermore, in order to meet specification requirements of density, heat of combustion, and aromatic content, the kerosene must be obtained from crudes with a high naphthene content. RP-1 is an excellent solvent for many organic materials. The flash point is above 43 deg C. Above that temperature RP-1 will form explosive mixtures with air. The temperature range for explosive mixtures (rich limit) is 79 to 85 deg C. RP-1 is not so toxic as the JP series of fuels because of its lower aromatic content. In the United States, suitable kerosene fractions in 1960 were limited almost exclusively to the West Coast. The estimated 1956 United States production was 7700 tonnes, and the price was $0.05 per kg. By the 1980's it was typically $ 0.20 per kg. Russian formulations have typical densities of 0.82 to 0.85 g/cc, and even higher densities were achieved in the N1 and Soyuz 11A511U rockets by superchilling the fuel prior to loading.
Oxidizer: N2O4. Fuel: Kerosene. Propellant Formulation: N2O4/Kerosene. Optimum Oxidizer to Fuel Ratio: 4.04. Temperature of Combustion: 3,445 deg K. Density: 1.25 g/cc.

In the world of nearby, time and distance it is to lick fingers is why we do BBQ. Once upon a time that meant KFC but now, for us, it means Brazen BBQ. It, nearby time I mean, is also to watch MLB All-stars do their thing.
It can't get any better than to go somewhere close and partake of both activities. I do like Brazen BBQ Smokehouse & Bar http://www.brazenbbq.com/specials a lot. When they first moved into their nice digs, at 441 Washington Street, in San Diego's Hillcrest/Mission Hills area, they may have been a tad bit better at putting on the best in smoked BBQ of all players in the entire county. Today they remain one of my go to places for fine dining.
The staff is tops in my book. The last time we were there, our server asked, "So how is it?" with his broad smile gleaming warmth. "Not so good." I replied, because I thought he really wanted to know. After I assessed his response and assured him my food was still way better than most places, I added on a strictly professional critic's level that the spare ribs were a bit dry and the smoke flavor seemed lacking.
Our server, without further adieu vanished into the back room and magically reappeared with altered ribs for our consumption. I say here that I responded to him with a Critic's tongue, but he didn't know me from any other John Doe who ever wandered inside this eatery, yet he made good on the company's guarantee that we'd like the food. The replacement ribs were wonderful.
The sports bar attached to the restaurant is quaint to be sure and can on a good sporting day get crowded, but it is a great spot to hang and to consume libations of your favorite label while cheering on your team.
There is also a parking lot which magically has hosted my car every time I've been there for a bite to eat. It's a tiny lot but I've always found space for my stead.
I will be back to this establishment either for a good crowd of regulars to talk sports nonsense with or to consume fine BBQ along with the best sides in town.

Gingrich Shakes Off Vice-President Talk
Now that he's abandoned his own bid for the White House, is Newt Gingrich considered a vice-presidential candidate alongside Mitt Romney?
Not likely. Or, rather, says Mr. Gingrich, "inconceivable."
"I mean I am so much my own agent, it's inconceivable," he said Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation."
"You've known me a long time," he told host Bob Schieffer. "Would you pick me to be a vice-presidential nominee?"
Mr. Gingrich ended his candidacy Wednesday, prompting speculation as to whether he would become a VP pick for Mr. Romney. Mr. Gingrich said on CNN's "State of the Union" that Mr. Romney will likely want someone who was younger than he is.
Mr. Gingrich pointed to a long lineup of possible contenders for the second spot on the Republican ticket. Among them are Sens. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Marco Rubio of Florida and Rob Portman of Ohio.
"People underestimate how deep our bench is," Mr. Gingrich said.

National Post ·
That comfortably padded lunatic asylum known euphemistically as the House of Commons seems to have been overtaken by a bout of March Madness.
Michael Ignatieff yesterday continued his campaign against the government's prorogation of Parliament -- from Winnipeg. Meanwhile, back in the nation's capital, the Conservatives reversed a publicly stated position for the third time in as many days.
The latest flip-flop was on the government's "signature" initiative for the G8 summit in June -- the strategy to improve the health of women and children in the world's poorest regions.
When the Prime Minister unveiled the plan at the end of January, he was coming off the near-universal acclaim that greeted the government's swift response to the earthquake in Haiti. The proposal to ease access to clean water, inoculations and better nutrition must have seemed like a surefire way to rid the Conservatives of their "Nasty Party" tag. The government would use its clout as the host of the G8 to mobilize governments and NGOs to set a global agenda and reap the rewards in the opinion polls. What could possibly go wrong?
In the event, Mr. Ignatieff displayed the kind of cynical opportunism that would have warmed Stephen Harper's heart, if only it hadn't been directed against him. The Liberal leader surrounded himself with his female caucus and mused that any initiative to improve maternal health would need "access to the full gamut of reproductive health services." Without mentioning the "A" word, Mr. Ignatieff noted that George W. Bush had prevented aid money from going to organizations that supported abortion. "We don't want to have mothers dying because of botched procedures," he said.
Suddenly, the Conservatives were off balance, which is where they have remained ever since. A feel-good story had turned sour. The government's problem was compounded this week when Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon said the Canadian maternal health effort would not only avoid funding abortion services but also improved access to contraception. "It does not deal in any way, shape or form with family planning. Indeed, the purpose of this is to be able to save lives," he said.
The usual Liberal suspects spluttered their outrage. "This is just so upsetting to the women of Canada and the world," frothed Carolyn Bennett. "Women's rights are human rights and this government is literally denying that and playing ideology at the forefront of their agenda," trilled Hedy Fry.
As the controversy spiralled, Conservatives sources began to whisper that Mr. Cannon had been freelancing when he ruled out improved access to condoms. During Question Period yesterday, Stephen Harper and Bev Oda, the Minister for International Co-operation, confirmed that birth control was back on the table. "As we have been saying all along, we are not closing the door on any option, including contraception," Ms. Oda said. This must have come as news to the Foreign Affairs Minister. His critic, Bob Rae, was closer to the mark when he accused the government of "a total change in party policy."
One case of confusion in government could be dismissed as careless but three in one week suggests a trend. On Wednesday, the Conservatives held three different positions on the potential ban of "10-per-center" mailings in the space of three hours.
Most MPs had voted this week to do away with the partisan flyers MPs of all parties mail to Canadians outside their ridings. The Conservatives voted against the ban, but in the House the Prime Minister suggested he supported it. His office clarified the position, saying the Conservatives would continue to use the program to communicate with Canadians. As the possibility of a potential backlash grew, MP Pierre Poilievre was dispatched to tell journalists that the Conservatives would agree to the ban, if other parties agreed to cancel public subsidies for political parties. As reports the Conservatives were holding out began to circulate -- and as the NDP's Jack Layton appeared to waver in his support for the ban -- the Prime Minister's Office changed its line again by saying the Tories would support eliminating the 10-percenters, if all other parties did too.
A day earlier, the government reversed a decision to cut funding for rural Internet service, after another storm of protest. The government cut the $14-million Community Access Program that promoted computer literacy among rural and low-income Canadians but when the cuts became public, Tony Clement, the Industry Minister, said the money would be found from other sources.
Taken individually, none of these slips is particularly significant. But this is a government shaped in the mould of its leader -- the word comes from the Prime Minister's Office and is homemade. Ministers have learned that is not necessary to (in fact, it is necessary not to) retreat, explain or apologize after acting on orders from on high.
Now, lines are being crossed and the PMO appears to have lost confidence in its own judgment. Chastened by the unforseen backlash against prorogation, it suggests the Prime Minister and his advisers fear they are out of step with the people.
Mr. Harper must hope it's simply a bad case of spring fever and that, as the days become longer, his government rediscovers its mojo.
Conservative government missteps thus far this month have included:
Maternal health initiative
Rural Internet service
Detainee issue
MP mailings

This ferry port at Bali's westernmost tip-88 km from Singaraja and 134 km from Denpasar-links Bali with East Java across a narrow strait, Selat Bali. Looming up purple through the haze to the west are three of Java's most easterly volcanoes. Much of Bali's imports and exports, and most of its domestic tourists, pass through this point. Except as an around-the-clock ferry terminus, Gilimanuk has little to offer tourists, who usually alight the ferry or landing barges from Java and shoot straight through to Denpasar or Lovina. But with its basic no-frills services and amenities, Gilimanuk is a friendly little town for stopovers, for resting up.
The strait that separates Java and Bali, less than three km wide and only 60 meters in depth, is said to have been formed by some mythical king who, hoping to excommunicate his son, gouged a line with his finger along the ground. Then the earth parted and the waters of the Indian Ocean and the Java Sea rushed in, separating Bali from Java. It was an easy matter for Neolithic humans hunting in the primeval wilderness of East Java to cross this narrow strait. During WW II, stone adzes and pottery fragments were discovered just two km south of Gilimanuk at Cekik. Over time, about 100 burial places were excavated-containing funerary objects, simple tools, earthenware vessels, and sacrificed animals-demonstrating that this was Bali's earliest human settlement discovered to date.
See these Neolithic artifacts in the Bali Museum in Denpasar, the Archaeological Museum in Pejeng, the archaeological project at Sanglah, and at Gilimanuk's Museum of Ancient Life north of the Bay of Gilimanuk.
Gilimanuk shows a greater influence from Islamic Java than other parts of Bali. In fact, it was from Java that Balinese revolutionaries derived their material and ideological sustenance in their fight to oust the Dutch. In Cekik a war memorial commemorates landing operations by the Indonesian army, navy, and police on Bali from April to July 1946.

From Paul, I've found a WordPress plugin that lets readers see how to correctly cite a blog post for academic referencing. Given I wrote a 'how to cite webpages' page in about 1995, and still don't get why so many academics can't get their head around what the important bits of information are, the plugin should be good. Haven't installed it yet, so intrigued to see if it has enough information or is as thin as some current page citation guidelines. Stay tuned…
