Generation Y vs Baby Boomers: Who Had More Affordable Homes?
April 19th, 2013
When I work with young adults buying their first home, I often hear from them that they believe they have gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to economic history. When they compare their own station in life at the age of, say, 30, compared to their parents at that age, they often feel they are lagging behind, particularly in the field of home ownership. But are they really? Sure, the economy may be growing slowly these days and real estate values in most Canadian cities – especially in Vancouver – have indeed enjoyed impressive growth in recent decades, but the Baby Boomer generation that was buying their first homes 30 or 40 years ago had some economic barriers of their own to contend with: high interest rates, the 1973 oil crisis, and so on.
So who really had more affordable homes, today's Generation Y or the Baby Boomers? This great new infographic by a realtor in Hawaii named "Aloha" Tony Kawaguchi digs deep into the financial statistics to provide us with an answer. As with many things in life, the answer is anything but simple; read on for yourself and you'll see what I mean!

Interior Design and Home Staging: An Interview with Mobler Furniture's Thomas Rasmussen
July 16th, 2012
Having used his store's products in a few homes, I am very pleased to present this interview with Thomas Rasmussen of Mobler Furniture, Vancouver's most well-known modern furniture store. We discussed the role that furniture can play in selling a home, as well as what interior design trends to look out for in the future.
Robert Moore: What role can furniture play in home staging?
Thomas Rasmussen: Furniture is key to selling a home quickly. In my own experience, seeing a home furnished thoughtfully with functional, beautiful furniture is very important, but the most important thing is seeing a home filled with the correct sized furniture. The trend towards smaller apartments in the Lower Mainland is going to continue, therefore the furniture has to be multifunctional and optimized for small spaces. Modern furniture for the most part cuts away the excess; you won't find overstuffed pillows or huge rolled arms on a modern-style sofa, and that saves a lot of space without hindering comfort.
RM: What are the most popular interior design trends in Vancouver at the moment?
TR: Barstools are a huge trend, because they're simultaneously stylish and functional in smaller spaces. Fitting a dining room table into a 500 square foot apartment is extremely difficult, whereas using a kitchen counter for kitchen prep and dining optimizes space. In a lot of ways, the interior design trends in Vancouver right now are simply responses to the spatial limitations of condos and townhomes. As the average home's square footage has gotten smaller over the years, people have had to adapt their interior designs accordingly – and there are a lot of fun, stylish ways to do that!
RM: What new furniture pieces or interior design trends do you see becoming more popular over the coming years?
TR: As Vancouver's real estate market continues to produce more condos than detached homes, I expect minimalist furnishings to continue their rise to prominence, as well as multi-functional furnishings like sofabeds. Conversely, for those living in larger homes, I can definitely see a return to a more elaborate and spacious mindset at some point, particularly when it comes to living rooms, dining rooms, and other places that typically seat large numbers of people.
RM: If people want to furnish their homes on a budget, what do you recommend?
TR: As with any purchase, I'd recommend they do their research online first. We spend a lot of effort on our photos for our website and our customers appreciate that. Similarly, if they are looking for a deal, Mobler's anniversary sale is beginning in August, and that's when our prices will be at their lowest. People can visit our showroom at 3351 Sweden Way in Richmond at that time to see our selection and sale prices first-hand; there's usually a staff member available to help you find what you may be looking for.
Check out Mobler's site to see what they've got in the showroom and warehouse then head into Richmond and pay them a visit on Sweden Way!

Overall thoughts on the match
"This is not a result we expected and it is a bitter pill to swallow. While we have been playing better volleyball lately, today was a step backwards. The good news is that our team will not be defined by its results or performance on any one day. We'll be defined by our response to adversity in the training room, in the film room and on the practice court. We need to, and will, improve our tactical understanding of the game team wide and that comes with extensive study, mindful practice and a relentless craving for excellence."
On Hannah Holmes and Anna Wruck's 3-2 win in No. 3 action
"Individually, Hannah Holmes and Anna Wruck secured a great win for us on the No. 3 court. With our team down 2-1, Anna and Hannah forced a tie at 2-2 with a very well-played, three-set victory. They played marvelously under pressure and gave us a shot at winning the dual."
On Tulane's win at No. 4 by Courtney Liddle and Olivia Utt
"Courtney and Olivia also were rewarded with improved play when they secured an efficient 2-0 victory on the No. 4 court. We asked them to create more with their serve and better manage the tempo of their offense. They were able to make some nice fixes in the game and earned a well-deserved win."

Feb. 21, 2012
The following article is part of a series covering the 2012 Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships. The content was produced by journalism students from the University of Maryland.
By Josh Vitale
Annapolis, Md. - There was only one thing on Navy swimmer Sean Murphy's mind when he emerged from the pool after completing his preliminary trial Friday morning.
It wasn't the fans that filled Navy's Lejeune Hall to its rafters to see the 2012 Patriot League Swimming & Diving Championships. It wasn't the hoards of swimmers surrounding the pool, serenading the competitors with chants, cheers and encouragement. It wasn't even on the other seven swimmers in the pool and how he stacked up against them.
The only thing Murphy thought about was whether he had beat Ian Johnston's 15-year-old Naval Academy record for the 100-yard breaststroke.
"The oldest record on the Navy record board is breaststroke," said Murphy, a Hudson, Ohio native. "I want to get it."
Murphy fell short of topping Johnston's mark, but the sophomore's career-best time of 55.32 seconds moved him to second place in the Midshipmen's all-time record books and seeded him No. 1 overall in Friday night's finals.
"It was long and smooth, and it felt great," Murphy said. "But there's a couple things I know I can improve on, so I'll focus on those in the night and hopefully that'll drop the 0.3 [seconds] that I want to drop."
Murphy wasn't the only Midshipmen making noise in Friday's 100 yard breaststroke preliminaries. Sophomore Luke Hoffer, who previously held second-place in Navy's record books, also set a career-best, moving to the finals seeded second after posting a time of 55.47 seconds.
"This morning I felt pretty good," Hoffer said. "I was ready when I got off the blocks. My heart, my blood was already pumping, so I didn't have to worry about warming up during my race."
While both swimmers displayed optimism heading into the night session, Navy coach Bill Roberts was reserved about their title-chances.
Having watched his pupils set their personal-best times in the preliminary heats, Roberts feared they might not be able to replicate their morning success when the finals rounds begin.
"We see it all the time ... The brain can get in the way sometimes," Roberts said. "The trick is to think about what you got to do, but not over think it too much."
The sophomore duo didn't share its coach's fears. Both said their preliminary times increased their drive to improve heading into the night session, rather than create expectations too lofty to meet.
"The past few years I haven't let myself down, so I'm hoping to drop a little time," Murphy said. "I still have a lot left for tonight."
"Every chance you step up on the blocks is a chance to improve upon what you've done," Hoffer said. "If we have faith in our training, we can do better than we've done before."
Another sophomore, Ben Grove, will join Murphy and Hoffer in Friday's finals, making Navy and their talented underclassmen the presumptive favorites to keep the Patriot League individual breast stroke title in Annapolis this year.
"We're spoiled. Two years ago, when we recruited this class, we were really happy and just got lucky with the quality of breaststroke in that one single class," Roberts said. "We expect to win, and we're expecting some good times."
And with plenty of firepower helping push the Midshipmen toward another title, Murphy is free to focus on getting that record he has his eyes on.
"I expect us to finish one, two, three," Murphy said. "And I want to get first."
Update: Murphy won the 100-yard breaststroke finals with a time of 55.70, with Hoffer placing third in 56.07 and Grove tied for fourth in 56.69.

The end.
At the suggestion of others, I am adding a poll!
Also, there should totally be a question mark after the question on the poll. To lazy to delete and start over.
Yes I wash my butt daily with soap...
oops wrong thread
you should call a lawyer.
I requested that my sunnybeachmama account be closed and started this one around New Years. I actually smile when I see this SN because I never seemed to identify with the ones I've picked before. This name suits me.
I did have that grumpy cat avatar when I started this account. But now that he's the group avatar and a member with the SN Grumpy Cat has him too, I changed mine. I see also a member with the SN of Sunny, so I'm feeling like I should drop my siggy, which is the only thing that links this new SN with my old one. I hope most of you still recognize me!
ETA: I used to have this avatar as sunnybeachmama
and I had this one during the holidays before I changed SNs
I was under the impression that most of us are winging it and waiting for bedtime. ~jessloves

Work on the ICT Policy for Ghana started in October 1998, when a National Communications Policy Conference dubbed, COMPOL '98' involving all stakeholders in the ICT sector was held at the International Conference Centre in Accra. The policy document was finalised in October 2000 at Akosombo for the approval of Cabinet. However, Cabinet could not pass the Communications Bill before the then government went out of power.
In September 2001, the government organised another National Communications Policy Conference, at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), to review and update the Communication Policy Document formulated by the previous government in 1998. The formulation of a comprehensive ICT Policy, known as Ghana Information and Communication Technology for Accelerated Development (ICT4AD), was completed and the result is what is today referred to as Ghana ICT Policy for Accelerated Development.
Under the Ghana ICT Policy for Accelerated Development, the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), (formerly the Ghana Investment Fund for Telecommunications (GIFTEL)) was created as an implementing agency of the Ministry of Communications, in January 2004, to facilitate the provision of ICT, Internet connectivity and infrastructure to underserved and un-served areas of the country.
In July 2004 the Government of Ghana set up Ghana Investment Fund for Telecommunications (GIFTEL) as an agency of the Ministry of Communications to facilitate the provision of universal access to basic telephony by the unserved and underserved communities in the country. The Electronic Communications Act 775 promulgated in 2008, gave the legal backing to the agency (which started operations in January 2005), changed the agency's name to the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communication (GIFEC) and widened the scope of its mandate to include the provision of access to electronic services including ICT, broadcasting, internet, multimedia service and basic telephony, by the unserved and underserved communities in Ghana.

Justin Bieber is gaining a reputation as one of the most accomplished young womanizers in the world. Most recently stories have surfaced that he hooked up with model Adriana Lima at Cannes reported US Weekly on May 28, 2014. A source says Bieber had quite the experience at the Cannes Film Festival with newly single Victoria's Secret model Lima.
It has been said Bieber pursued the stunning Brazilian model hard at a private house party. Lima, who is a mother of two, recently split up with husband Marko Jaric after five years of marriage. Bieber and Lima were seen talking to each other all night at the party before they left together at around 5 a.m.
That same evening 20-year-old Bieber shared a photo of himself and the 32-year-old attractive model on his Instagram account. He captioned the photo, "I think she foreign, I think she foreign," in reference to lyrics from his song "Confident." A Bieber source says the couple had fun together but that it's not anything serious.
It's been confirmed by E! Online that Bieber and Lima spent some time together in Cannes. The couple was seen enjoying themselves together in the French Riviera while they were partying at the 67th annual film festival. Bieber and Lima have not made any comments about their night together. However, it appeared they really did enjoy the time they had with each other.

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
GI Problems and Autism: No Link Found
GI Disorders & Autism Link: Interpretations
Explanations other than a GI disease probably explain the two GI symptoms found to be more common in the children with autism, Ibrahim tells WebMD.
Children with autism often show ritualistic tendencies and a need for routine, such as sameness in the diet. They may not drink enough water or take in enough fiber, practices that can lead to constipation and the feeding issues, she says.
"Some are on medications that slow down the gut," she says, and that could also contribute to constipation problems. Her conclusion: subgroups of children may have GI problems that may be the result of their behavioral characteristics.
She cautions that children with autism shouldn't be treated with restrictive diets until there is evidence of a GI disorder.
In an interview with WebMD, Mark A. Gilger, MD, a gastroenterologist at Baylor University who wrote an accompanying editorial, says, ''There have been questions surrounding the gut and autism for many, many years."
The Mayo research team, he says, "were probably trying to put the story to rest. What they found is they couldn't fully put it to rest. They raise the spectrum there could be subtypes in which there could be something going on [with the gut]."
In the editorial, Gilger, who is section head of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition at Baylor, writes about the many suggested links between GI disorders and autism, dating back decades.
Among other suggestions, some experts have proposed that a GI abnormality leads to both intestinal inflammation and neuropsychiatric dysfunction.
More recently, Gilger writes, Vanderbilt University researchers reported that disrupted signaling involving a protein called MET, which is involved in brain development, gut repair, and other functions in the body, ''may contribute to the risk for autism spectrum disorder that includes familial gastrointestinal dysfunction."
More research is needed, Gilger says, especially leads about genetic links such as the Vanderbilt research.
GI Disorders & Autism Link: Second Opinion
''The study is important but not definitive," says Geraldine Dawson, PhD, chief science officer for Autism Speaks, an advocacy group.
"It's very possible there are subgroups of kids [with autism] where part of their symptoms involve the GI tract."
She says the study points to the need for more study -- and to the need to not chalk up all behavior changes to the autism.

- Company: Rogues Gallery
- Price: $368
- Official Site: RoguesGallery.com
- Release Date: Spring 2009
Most people would cringe at the sight of "Maine" and "style" in the same sentence, but Rogues Gallery makes you think twice. Just over a year old, the design shop based in Portland, Maine has flipped preppy style on its head and created a chic, wearable look. Fortunately, they decided to skip out on a traditional moccasin which is made from a single piece of deerskin with fringe and beading. This version is more akin to a boat shoe with suede detailing that is reminiscent of a colonial-era moccasin rather than footwear for hunting venison and gathering berries. The boat shoe itself is making a come back this spring, because it captures the essence of casual American style. Yet, Rogues Gallery takes this idea in a totally different direction, and the final product is a moccasin that is anything but your conventional Top-Sider.
This shoe gets down and dirty: The slightly distressed black leather sides and mud-green suede top combine to create a shoe that doesn't exactly scream Hamptons. It is actually more refined than its preppy counterpart but has a spirit that radiates a darker feel. You could certainly take these shoes on board with shorts and a basic polo, but their edgy side really comes out when paired with more formal pieces. The black color makes them dressier, so they would be right at home with a slim black trouser, white button-down shirt and blazer.
These moccasins are handmade -- and the craftsmanship shows. Rogues Gallery only uses premium materials for everything from the leathers to the laces. Most of us would keep suede buried at the back of the closet for fear of ruining it -- or at least ditch the fabric somewhere between a New Year's party and the final snowfall of the season. However, suede isn't just for the dark days of winter anymore; the lighter construction makes it versatile enough to be worn throughout the year. It can even handle getting a little wet. The rubber sole also provides flexibility and traction for comfort and function just about anywhere. It might even be a handy companion on your next deer-hunting spree.

Construction works of 5 Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) in the Western Province being championed by Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) are expected to end by February 2014.
The works follows two memoranda of understanding signed In April 2013 with SDC and Ministry of Education aimed at establishing one vocational training center in each of the 5 districts of the western province which are; Karongi, Rusizi, Ngororero, Nyamasheke and Rutsiro.
According to the Swiss Contact Country Manager Alexandre Boin the whole construction project plus other activities like provision of equipment and Training of Trainers (ToT) is estimated at $10, 000, 000.
Emmanuel Byamungu one of the local residents in Muganza sector says that many people where he lives especially the youth lack employment and he believes that with this development, that will change soon.
It is through such schools that he believes that even old people will benefit from short course vocational trainings.
Another resident of Gakoni village Dativa Nyirahagenimana also said most young women have lived in poverty due to lack of technical skills.
"We are eagerly waiting for the start of these schools and the introduction of many fields of training that much with our local needs", added Nyirahagenimana.
Some courses to be offered in these schools according to the Director General of WDA Jerome Gasana include Carpentry, Electricity and ICT mostly to unemployed youth.
Gasana syas that efforts will be made to connect the schools to optic fiber network and introducing other courses to allow specialized training.
The SDC overall goal here is to contribute to increased employment and income generation for rural population in the Great Lakes Region by improving their access to quality and labour market oriented vocational training.
The three year project will work on different sections of Rwanda's TVET system, with a special focus on non-formal and informal vocational training at provincial, district and sector levels.

Tomorrow night, a familiar face returns to Ray Donovan's life: the beautiful and troublesome Ashley Rucker, played by actress Ambyr Childers. To examine what brings her back to the Showtime series, Ambyr sat down with us on Friday, giving some insight into tomorrow's episode and dishing about what the show is like behind the camera.
Was she expecting to get the call for season two? "Yes and no," she said. "I think maybe initially when writing it, they just planned for Ashley to be in season one. But after we filmed it...I don't think they expected the character to come across the way [she] did. She's definitely a special character in the show. She stands out. She's Ray's Kryptonite.
"They made it work," she continued, "and [series creator] Ann [Biderman] is so genius and I'm so, so lucky to be working with her. She's just smart."
So we know how Ambyr came back to Ray Donovan, but what makes Ashley relevant again? "Basically, Ashley comes back into Ray's life and she asks him to help her with a new boyfriend, Steve Knight," Ambyr explained. "He's a self-help guru. We kind of learn [that] he has some anger management issues that he has to deal with. You have this guy that's going on stage, preaching to everybody how to be a better person...and you just see that he's completely off his rocker and you learn that very quickly."
But just because she's a taken woman, don't expect Ashley to stay away from the one man she's not supposed to have. "Even though she's with this guy," she added, "she's still extremely attracted to Ray."
"It's special and it's set a really high standard for me, I feel like, in terms of just the quality and the people that I work with," the actress reflected. "Ray Donovan is just one of those shows that, everybody clicked instantly...When you're working with other really creative artists, it doesn't make your job hard. It inspires you. You work harder. Everyone's there, you're united."
Playing in the underbelly of Los Angeles is not that different for Ambyr, whose feature film experience has included a lot of recent stories about tough guys in dark places, with supporting roles in Gangster Squad, Broken City, and 2 Guns. Asked which part she's been the most proud of, "I would have to say The Master," she told us. "I worked with Philip Seymour Hoffman a few years back, and he was just such a phenomenal actor.
"I feel so fortunate to be able to work with him and [director] Paul Thomas Anderson and Amy Adams, who I look up to so much as an actor and as a mother, she's just an all-around phenomenal person. That's one film that I feel like some people might find it hard to watch, but just to watch Philip - you realize what a great, beautiful person he was."
Her next project will bring her back to television. "Right now, I'm working on a new show for NBC called Aquarius," Ambyr told us, and that means she's sinking her teeth into another complicated story. In the David Duchovny-led drama centered on the pursuit of Charles Manson, she'll be playing Manson follower Susan Atkins.
"She was the one who was responsible for like seven of the killings," the actress explained. "She was crazier than Charlie. It's the darkest character I have ever played. It's a really great show, and we have great writers." Aquarius is scheduled to debut on NBC in 2015.
No matter what the story entails, this still ascending actress is ultimately focused on becoming the best performer she possibly can. "I just want to keep working with great directors and people that are really great, talented artists. Just to keep challenging myself," Ambyr said. "I feel like if you get into a stale place or you don't have that burning desire anymore, you know when it's happened...I want to keep working on my craft and working on my instrument."
With her combination of beauty, brains and charisma, it's no wonder why Ray Donovan can't forget her. Don't miss Ambyr in tomorrow night's episode of Ray Donovan, entitled "Viagra," airing at 9 PM ET'/PT on Showtime.

Better Market Conditions May Boost Suntory IPO
By Hiroyuki Kachi and Brad Frischkorn
As the unsettling turbulence in Japan's stock market calms down, the prospects for Japan's biggest initial public offering so far this year have brightened as well.
Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd. will make its long-awaited debut on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Wednesday. Valued at $3.9 billion, the IPO is a bid to procure funds for outbound M&As that the firm sees as crucial for growing outside Japan as its customer base at home shrinks.
Suntory's founding family will keep intact its influence by holding an approximately 60% stake in the food and beverage unit through Suntory Holdings Ltd. Moreover, Suntory's beer and liquor unit, as well as its wine unit, which also operates under the holding company, lie outside the IPO plan.
Market players are watching closely to see how the gambit plays out. Suntory was conservative when it set its offering price in the aftermath of the Tokyo stock market's recent tumble. In late June, the food and beverage maker set its offering price at ¥3,100 per share, close to bottom end of the tentative range of its book-building, suggesting it may be hoping to court investors looking for reasonably-priced stocks.
The company said at the time that it decided on that particular price "by taking into account prevailing market conditions and price-volatility risk during the period until the share listing day."
But the Nikkei Stock Average has gained 8% since then, reinforcing the possibility that Suntory's opening price will top the ¥3,100 line.
Another encouraging sign is the roaring success of the Japanese IPO market this year. Even after May 23–the day the benchmark suffered its worst percentage decline since right after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami–the IPO market has held on to its upward momentum.
All of the opening share prices of a total of 20 IPOs, including five in recent weeks, have exceeded their premarket fixed prices, partly because retail investors like to pick up newly offered shares.
But it remains to be seen whether the market can absorb a big fish like Suntory. And a strong price at its opening, doesn't necessarily bode well for future performance.
In an IPO valued at $11.2 billion Dai-ichi Life Insurance made its debut in April 2010 opening at ¥160,000, 14% higher than its premarket price. But the issue slid back after that, sinking to a low of ¥73,300 on Jan. 17, 2012. Dai-ichi Life closed Tuesday at ¥149,500 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Suntory will likely face at least some selling pressure Wednesday, one strategist says. Due to the Nikkei's recent volatility, secondary market buying may not be strong, said Naoki Fujiwara, fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management, noting that the index is still well off its May 23 peak. "However, it all depends on market sentiment at the time of initial trading," he added.
There are many individual investors who would love to own a piece of the company, due to its name value with strong brands such as Boss canned coffee and Orangina.
"The retail segment of the deal is high, but that does not necessarily mean that individuals will take profits and run at the first opportunity," said Hiroyuki Fukunaga, chief executive of Japan equity advisory firm Investrust.

Need Plants? Buy Jersey Grown [AUDIO]
The warm weather is beginning to arrive, which means many New Jersey residents will be spending time in their gardens. State Agriculture Secretary Douglas Fisher is urging everyone to buy Jersey Grown products from local nurseries and garden centers, especially along the Jersey Shore, to help rebuilding efforts following Sandy.

The USD 480 school board met Monday night. The board approved the budget for the school year and a design for the five new schools which will be constructed.
The board approved a budget of almost 75 million dollars which is up from last year. Last year the district came in under budget and spent just over 64 million dollars and spent over 65 million dollars two years ago. The increased budget will not affect the the mill levy in Liberal.
The board also adopted a recommendation from the design team for plans for the new schools. The schools have modern designs. This is another step toward breaking ground on the three new elementary schools and two new middle schools. There are still routine property issues which the district is wading through before construction can begin. The district has purchased most of the property for the schools and is in the process of securing all of the property. They have had to work through imminent domain to purchase some of the property.
The school board will meet again August 18.

With anything in life, sometimes people lose direction. Whether it's in a personal life or even in a wow gaming life. Life occurs and ends up causing hiccups in their priorities.
Please understand, I will always question whether warcraft should ever be in the top 5 of priorities in anyone's life. When everything is removed, the game, the accomplishments and the camaraderie with others, this is a game that we are all paying 15 dollars a month to play.
When I started playing wow Barren chat was the place to avoid like the plague. Every bad Chuck Norris joke and body function joke was told there. Rambling missives about the latest breakup with someone's girlfriend were strewed around the sands of the barrens. I am sure that the alliance players had their own graveyard of creative thought and fart jokes as they began to level.
But all of this travelled to Main city trade chats as players obtained higher and higher level. With all of the capitol cities connected there really was no escape from the chaos. Admitting that there was an occasional interesting comment, for the most part it was droll and frustrating. Especially when attempting to watch for crafting requests and sales/buying opportunity.
Some servers have self policed themselves and pushed the natter to the general channel, keeping the trade channel open. Others have let their trade channel become the wild wild west. Which does become disappointing due to the idea that it removes general access to crafters that players might need.
With Mists of Pandaria opening its doors soon, this will become much more prevalent with new players discovering the "joy" of telling their favorite joke in trade channel. You know the one you've heard 100 times before involving some racist or sexual act.
So how is this combatted? There really is no way to eliminate it completely. People have the right to play wow any way they want to as long as they don't break the terms of usage that Blizzard enforces. But the first combat is to make sure that you are not doing the same behavior. If you advertise in trade chat, then keep it professional. Advertise your product or service, have a good tag line and let it marinate in the traffic. Spamming your add continually will just clutter up the works, and please save that awesome sheep joke for your other friends offline.
Keeping the traffic clear will help new players get the help they need, add more gold into your goblin pockets, and maybe put a dent in the trade chat nattering.
Good Luck and Good Hunting

Date of discovery: March 2012 (although photo from 2009)
Location of sighting: Earth's Moon
Yes, NASA did drop a small nuclear bomb on the moon in 2009, I personally watched it live on the internet with my students. Also the NASA Ames Research Center does get intel on such structures because one is being used by the USMC as an America base.
"Now that's a huge cat left out of NASA's bag. The smoking gun evidence that NASA knows about the presence of extraterrestrial bases on the Moon and ultimately bombed one these structures during the LRO/LCROSS mission in 2009, allegedly carried out to seek water in the crater Cabeus."

7am. Wake up. Slowly. Head down the beach for a walk.
8am. Eat breakfast and answer emails.
8.30am. Try to decide what summer frock to wear for the day - it's warm and sunny outside!
9.00am. Change outfit once again. Pack car full of stock for shop visits.
10.30am. Stop at Shop for Shops in Collingwood to stock up on carry bags for the market. Also sneak in some wooden coat hangers (I might one day decide to sew clothes, so of course I'll need hangers. Until then I'll use them in my personal wardrobe.... ).
11.00am. Visit Wilkins and Kent on Brunswick Street and spend some time browsing the store and chatting to the lovely Jenny. If you're in the neighbourhood do pop in - they have lots of gorgeous things from heaps of talented designers!
12pm. Stop at The Vegie Bar for lunch. Cannot resist ducking in to the vintage clothing store next door - a big mistake - an hour later I leave with a new (old) dress and a pair of white peep-toe heels.
1pm. Stop by The Thread Den in Fitzroy to drop off some journals. Almost try on more dresses but manage to restrain myself.
1.30pm. It's now off to East Brunswick and Five Boroughs to restock some phone pouches - there are lots of new designs to choose from!
2.00pm. Detour through North Melbourne to catch up with another lovely lady before heading home.
4.00pm. The day's not over! More emails to answer, some admin to do, and then I pack the car again (this time with fun things like dinner ingredients) and head to R's place to make a delicious roast pumpkin salad and relax in front of a good movie.

|The educational problem that schools face is the loss of new teachers that leave the field of education with in the first five years of teaching (Hope, 1999; Darling-Hammond, 2003). Teachers have cited many reasons for leaving the classroom such as lack of administrative support, lack of classroom management strategies, difficulties differentiating the curriculum, non-supportive school environment, time management issues and many more. The loss of teachers due to attrition disrupts the school environment. As a possible solution, many beginning teachers receive BTSA mentors. The problem is that many mentor teachers hold several key leadership positions within the school setting. Mentor teachers are left with little time to provide quality one-to-one support beginning teachers really need.; The purpose of this qualitative case study was to develop a deeper understanding of how school site personnel might collaborate to promote a school culture that is collectively responsible to meet the needs of beginning teachers. The intent of this study was to identify an effective school-site paradigm that will support and retain teachers while simultaneously contributing to their professional growth and their classroom students learning. The selected unit of study was an urban California Distinguished elementary school. The school was selected due in part to the availability of key stakeholders such as administrators, instructional support personnel, veteran and beginning teachers. In addition 80 beginning teachers first through third year teachers in a traditional one-to-one mentoring approach participated.; The data revealed that the following school culture characteristics contribute to an effective team approach that best supports beginning teacher development: supportive and shared leadership; shared values and vision; collective learning and application of learning; supportive conditions; and shared personal practices. The data suggestions that future research studies need to focus on multiple and longitudinal case studies in collaborative school environments in order to make further generalizations and enable schools to benchmark their successes. The research implications for this study point to providing school leadership teams with current research on developing positive school cultures, collaborative practices, effective leadership styles, and educational change. School district personnel must provide professional development to these key individuals in order to meet the needs of beginning teachers.

COVER ART: Darkness Unmasked by Keri Arthur & Tempest Reborn by Nicole Peeler (UK Editions)
DARKNESS UNMASKED (Dark Angels #5) | RELEASE DATE: June 2013
PUBLISHER: Piatkus | GENRE: Urban Fantasy | ARTIST: Unknown
The sexy, exciting, suspenseful adventures continue in New York Times bestselling author Keri Arthur's Dark Angels series, starring Risa Jones, a half-Aedh/half-werewolf. She can speak to the souls of the dying and the dead, and can see Reapers, the collectors of souls.
Shortly after her fight on the astral plane, Risa receives a phone call from Madeline Hunter, the leader of the vampire council, ordering her to investigate the death of Hunter's close friend and lover – Wolfgang Schmidt. His body has been discovered wrapped in a web-like substance and has been completely drained. As the body count continues to grow, Risa must summon her gifts to find the dark spirit before it strikes again. Meanwhile, as the search for the keys that keep the gate to Hell closed grows more intense, Risa begins to unravel mysteries that will have startling consequences for her. (Goodreads)
Ooh I like it! It's sexy and vibrant, I like the fact they have used the same model for every book in the series. I'm always a fan of red and black and that's no exception here, I also like the lights in the background. I've not read the series to know if the design matches, but the whole series looks super slick, and this is a great addition. This one is waaaay better than the US one, which looks a bit ghastly if I'm honest.
Although I like the cover, I don't love it. For some reason the model almost looks like a cardboard cut out against the background. Don't get me wrong, I do like the composition of the cover and I like how she is looking off screen, but it just doesn't seem to gel. I do agree with Laura that it's much better than the US cover. It has a much more gritty feel and I like how it doesn't make it obvious that she is an Angel. I also like how they have continued with the theme of the previous books. It sooths my OCD cover obsession.

TEMPEST RISING (Jane True #6) | RELEASE DATE: May 2013
PUBLISHER: Orbit | GENRE: Urban Fantasy | ARTIST: Unknown
Anyan may be trapped in an evil dragon and Blondie may be gone, but Jane knows one thing: she's not about to give up. She's ready to tear down heaven and earth to save her lover, despite those who believe he's lost.
Luckily for Jane, those who've given up on Anyan do not include those closest to her. Defying The Powers That Be, Jane and Company form their own crack squad of misfits, in whose hands the fate of the world may well rest. With a little help from her friends, the Universe, and lots of snacks, Jane embarks on her greatest adventure yet, confident that with great sacrifice comes great reward. The question is, who will be that sacrifice? (Goodreads)
Hmm, I'm a bit on the fence with this one. It matches the theme of the series, but I think it might be the worst of the bunch. Mustard yellow is one of my least favourite colours, and I think it looks a touch drab here. I do like the watery style fonts and that the model looks like she's under water. But… once again the UK seriously outshines the US one, what is going on with it? Looks like a strange 70s science fiction film.
I agree completly with Laura on this. What on earth is up with that colour? It looks like what happens when you eat a dodgy curry. I'm not sure if they have used the same model as the previous books, but I do like the water theme. If I cover up the top half of the book with that yucky colour, I rather like it. It's very haunting and the fact that model is staring straight at you is striking. I haven't read this series yet, so don't know if it ties up with the story. Though I have to admit, this is 100 times better than the US one, which looks like it has been done on a bargain basement budget.

LOS ANGELES – As the 2014 season looms less than a week away the UCLA track and field program returned to historic Drake Stadium for the first time this year to participate in workouts on the new Mondo surface that was just installed.
"The teams are very excited to tryout the new track surface," UCLA director of track and field, Mike Maynard said. "I think it's is beautiful and it's nice to finally get the old red track out of Drake Stadium."
The Mondo product that was placed is the latest generation of Mondo. It is the same surfacing used at the 2012 London Olympic Games, and is expected to be one of the only installations of its type in the USA.
"What makes this Mondo surface exceptional is that it serves as a great training track, as well as a top notch competition surface," Maynard said. "This Mondo Super X 720 is the cutting edge, and is the latest generation in world class sport surfacing."
The project started in November and more phases of the Drake Stadium upgrade will continue throughout the year.
"I want to thank Jim and Carol Collins for making this all come to pass," Maynard added. "Without their generosity and belief in the student-athletes at UCLA, none of this would've been possible."
The indoor season will start at the Northern Arizona Invitational on Friday, January 24, in Flagstaff. The outdoor season is set to begin with a dual meet against Washington State on March 22 at Drake Stadium.

If is it is true that any day is made better by the planting of a tree then last week the City of St. Augustine gave the community some great days by planting over 20 new trees in just a two-day period.
Most of the plantings are replacement trees for those that had to be removed following receipt of the results of a tree assessment that identified 15 trees in the city right-of-way that were deemed to be so far decayed as to be unsafe commonly referred to as hazard trees. The inventory was made possible by an Urban and Community Forestry grant provided through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services which provided $6,000 that was matched by the city. The funds made possible the long overdue inventory and assessment of over 500 trees in the city rights-of-way and parks within the historic areas of St. Augustine.
The new trees included Live Oaks that were planted along the most northern section of San Marco Ave. and Vickers Field, magnolias that were planted on Riberia St. next to Francis Field, and Red Cedars along Flagler Blvd. and at the Visitors Information Center.
The Urban and Community Forestry grant was used to retain the services of an International Society of Arboriculture Board Certified Arborist to provide the initial tree inventory baseline data which provides the basis for the development of an urban forestry management program. That program specifies recommended management practices, provides guidance for the City Manager and maintenance supervisor in allocation of tree maintenance resources, and documents the inventory and required maintenance.

Motorola is open to Windows Phone 7
Focus is on Android for now
MOBILE DEVICE MAKER Motorola has expressed interest in a deal with Microsoft and its Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system (OS).
At the Oppenheimer Technology & Communications Conference in Boston, Sanjay Jha, chairman and CEO of Motorola spoke of the firm's openness to a deal with Microsoft for Windows Phone 7.
When questioned on the subject Jha said, "I think we're completely open to the notion of Windows as a platform"
"I would have to consider whether defocusing from Android to Windows will be the right thing for us to do, but if the capabilities on Windows are such that that is the right thing for us, I think we will consider it."
Motorola is not ditching the Android OS that presently drives its phones and tablets. Jha confirmed that "today's focus is Android" and said the firm would like to be the first to launch a device with the next version of Android, codenamed 'Ice Cream Sandwich'.
Jha cited Android and IOS as the two most important OSs for developers and said he doesn't think there is room for five competing OSs going forward.
It is likely that Motorola will wait to see if Nokia is successful with its first Windows Phone 7 devices.
Looking forward Motorola will also focus on more global branding, much like Apple and Samsung. Jha said, "In second half, I think you will see us do more global launches." referring to previous products such as the Atrix smartphone and the Xoom tablet.
Jha added that in the second half of the year he expects "a broader ranging of Motorola products in Europe than we've ever been able to do", confirming that the company won't launch the same products under different names into different markets as much as it has previously.
Motorola will launch some new products, possibly this year, in both smartphones and tablets. Jha said, "In the fourth quarter I'm hopeful that we will launch some much more interesting products. Going forward I think we have some important global launched coming up, both in tablets as well as in smartphones." µ

Scientists have found new evidence linking a common kind of viral infection to obesity. The human adenovirus-36 (Ad-36) -- a cause of respiratory infections and pinkeye -- may also be a contributing factor to obesity, as it's been found to transform adult stem cells into fat cells, capable of storing additional fat.
Their findings were reported at the 234th national meeting and exposition of the American Chemical Society in Boston, Massachusetts, held August 19-23.
In a previous epidemiologic study, the researchers found that about 30 percent of obese people were infected with the Ad-36 virus, compared to 11 percent of lean individuals. Exactly how the virus causes obesity in people is still unknown, but it is believed that a specific gene, called E4Orfl, in the virus may be the culprit that promotes the obesity effect.
The team is now trying to figure out the factors that predispose some people with the virus to develop obesity, whereas others remain unaffected. Researchers hope the findings may lead to a future vaccine or antiviral obesity medication.
Science Blog August 20, 2007
CarbWire August 21, 2007
USA Today August 22, 2007
Just last month I posted an article showing how good nutrition can overcome "bad genes" predisposing you to obesity. Searching for genetic clues to the obesity epidemic, in the hopes of developing a vaccine against it, is not the answer.
I strongly believe that conventional medicine will never have a cure obesity for obesity in your lifetime.
The idea that an "obesity virus" may be contributing to the soaring rates of obesity around the world is not new; I reported on this finding all the way back in 2000. It is, however, a very plausible theory, and I would not be surprised if there are significant viral causes underlying many cases of obesity. Does that mean that you can just sit back and wait for a vaccine or anti-viral medication to help you lose weight? Of course not. Not only would drug interventions likely be loaded with their own side effects, but the vast majority of people CAN lose weight naturally if they put their mind (and body) to it.
And, even if there is an underlying virus contributing to your difficulty in losing weight, how do you think people catch, or cure, a virus?
You catch a virus because your immune system is not quite up to par. People with compromised immune systems -- from stress, pollution, eating too much sugar, even certain medications – are at a much greater risk of catching viruses than those who eat well, exercise, sleep enough, and keep stress under control.
Being in harmony with a virus is largely related to the strength of your immune system, so keeping this first line of defense functioning optimally should be of great importance to you, regardless of whether you're overweight or not.
That said, most all of the things that are good for your immune system are also beneficial for weight loss. So the four tenets of health (and healthy weight) still remain the same:
Remember, obesity is a direct cause of poor dietary choices and insufficient exercise. Unfortunately, the food industry and government itself sure don't make it easy for you to avoid foods that ruin your health, as you can see in today's accompanying article How the Food Industry is Deceiving You. But it is possible to take self responsibility and make better, healthier choices.
Self Responsibility -- The Real Answer to the Obesity Epidemic
Hormones, especially leptin, regulate your body's ability to burn fat. When fat cells metabolize sugar, they release leptin, and if you eat a diet that causes excessive surges in leptin, obesity and disease follows. The standard American diet (SAD) is a perfect example of the type of diet that will cause you to become leptin-resistant, meaning your brain can no longer "hear" the signals telling it to stop eating and storing fat.
Due to deceptive nutritional labels and general lack of knowledge of where the hidden sugars are, Americans are eating far more sugar than they know. When searching for sugar, you must also keep a vigilant eye out for high fructose corn syrup and those dangerous artificial sweeteners. These are included in a wide variety of foods that you might not normally suspect. And don't forget, carbohydrates found in processed foods, such as white bread and rice, break down to glucose and affect your body in the same way as refined sugar does.
Most doctors will not talk to you about leptin's role in obesity though. Many of them are not even aware of its influence.
You must also remember that diet and exercise work hand-in-hand to benefit your health. I have found it very helpful to view exercise as a very potent drug that needs to be prescribed precisely to achieve maximum results, and cutting grains and sugars from your diet at the same time will help you to tame your weight and stay fit. Exercise, in fact, in my experience is far more potent than any oral diabetic drug because it normalizes insulin action.
Diets by themselves, without an exercise program, simply don't work, and the best exercise program in the world won't help you if you're continually cramming your body full of junk food. In fact if you could only do one or the other, you would likely be far better off eating the right food for your nutritional type. Exercise, for many, simply compensates for poor food choices, this is especially for many who exercise with much cardiovascular workouts that tend to lower insulin levels. If you aren't getting the proper fats and proteins your body will simply not have the fuel to heal and repair.
That said, if you are one of the rare people who faithfully apply the above techniques, yet are STILL not losing weight, one of the more unusual causes of obesity may be at play. The International Journal of Obesity listed some of these more unusual obesity triggers last year:
Remember, though, that although losing weight can take time, it is one of the best things you can do for your health if you're overweight or obese. And, it's something that most everyone CAN do, regardless of their genetics.
If you want one motto to live by when it comes to keeping off the pounds, it is, hands-down, this:
Keep your insulin and leptin levels low, very low.
You can easily measure fasting insulin levels with an inexpensive blood test that nearly any doctor can draw for you. Leptin levels are a bit pricier. Your fasting insulin level should be about 2 or 3. The way you lower it to these levels is by exercising, avoiding processed foods and refined carbs, and by eating the appropriate amounts of carbs for your nutritional type.
This is NOT rocket science. If you apply the simple principles I've mentioned, you will see dramatic and remarkable improvements not only in your ability to achieve your ideal weight but also in just about every other chronic degenerative disease there is.

For years, condoms have been the most popular contraceptive on the market, yet finding someone who really enjoys using them is harder than...well, you know. Now, an inventor based out of Torrance, California is turning to the internet -- well known for its love of adult-themed material -- to help him realize his dream of a better birth control device.
The somewhat confusingly named Galactic Cap functions much like the cheap friend you sometimes take out for drinks: It only covers the tip. The device has two parts: a U-shaped polyurethane adhesive film base and a cap, which affixes to polyurethane adhesive film base when it's business time. And like your broke friend, it covers just the bare minimum, leaving...you know what, just watch this video (but not at your office) if you want to know the science behind it.
OK, so, we can all agree that this is a pretty big breakthrough in baby-prevention technology, even if its main selling point is skin-to-skin contact, which is how many sexually transmitted diseases are spread. Still, if you're in a monogamous relationship and don't want to compromise sensitivity for peace-of-mind, this could be a game-changer.
At least the product's inventor, Charlie Powell, thinks so. That's why he's turning to the crowdfunding site Indiegogo to help launch what he calls "the greatest condom in 400 years." According to the video, Galactic Cap (still not sold on that name) needs money to "ready this product for clinical testing," the first step toward gaining FDA approval. Powell also believes that his product could help stem HIV infections, which is a worthwhile reason to support his campaign in and of itself.
In fact, Powell believes that he may gain support for what we're now going to call his "cheap-friend" contraceptive through the adult film industry. A new law recently introduced into the California legislature would require that performers wear condoms when shooting their scenes. Although the porn industry has been united against the bill, Powell thinks his invention could "overcome the problem of using a condom on camera."
We'll see. The Galactic Cap's (nope) Indiegogo campaign kicks off on June 1. Powell is no doubt hoping that, unlike his invention, his fundraising goal will cover the whole thing.
