Kampa Rally Air 390 Caravan Porch Awning
The standard Kampa Rally Lightweight Porch Awnings have been a favourite with caravanners for many years but on the tide of the new 'Air Pole' revolution come the new Kampa Rally Air awnings.
Instead of traditional steel poles there is now an inflatable 'AirFrame' that is pre-attached to the awning and so there is no awkward or time-consuming assembly. The 'AirPoles' that create the frame are also inter-connected so that you can pump the entire frame up using just one valve.
Conversely if something happens to damage one of the 'AirPoles' it can be isolated from neighbouring poles using the in-built isolation valve therefore ensuring continued use of the awning while a repair or replacement is arranged.
You simply use a double-action hand pump (supplied) to inflate the AirFrame and it will be fully inflated in 60 seconds. There's also no need to worry about over inflating these AirPoles as they are high pressure and the pump will simply cease to work when they are full. You will be amazed how rigid the AirFrame is when fully inflated!
Set-up is easier than ever - simply thread the awning onto the awning rail of your caravan; peg down the four corners of the awning; attach the pump to the inflation point and pump until inflated. Then peg down the intermediate pegging points and the built in Quickpitch guying straps. Done!
The Kampa Rally Air 390 offers an impressive amount of space within its 390x250cm floor plan and therefore is ideal for longer vacations. It is some 27% lighter than an equivalent Rally Pro 390 awning and so reduces your payload.
The flysheet is a heavy duty 150D Weathershield Polyester with 5000 mm HH performance. It has taped seams and is fire resistant and UV protected. The Rally 390 features three large front panels with large Crystal clear windows.
Each front panel can either be rolled to the side or the top half can be dropped down, ideal for keeping pets or children in but still allowing an 'alfresco' feel inside your awning. The centre panel of the Rally 390 can also be rolled up or propped open to form a sun canopy. There's doors on each side of the awning with no-see-um mesh screens to aid air circulation and to keep out flying insects.
For the 2014 season the Kampa Rally Air 390 has received a number of improvements which include; a rear adjustable height system; removal of the side 'step-in' doorways; internal attachment clips for optional inner tent; roof apex vent and new inflation valves. New, optional extras are available also such as a roof lining, accessory track, and inner tent.
Additional features of the Kampa Rally Air 390 Awning include:
- AirPoles of 15.7 & 10.2 cm diameter
- Rear bumper pads
- Window blinds
- Secondary mesh side doors
- Quickpitch guying system
- Complete with pump with gauge
- Draught skirt included
- Complete with pegs and instructions

Fels students attend Eastern Leadership Academy Conference
On Tuesday, September 21st, Fels hosted the Council of State Governments' Robert J. Thompson Eastern Leadership Academy for the 4th straight year. The five-day academy, developed for state legislators and provincial officers from the 19 eastern region member jurisdictions, features prominent public leaders and experts who provide professional analysis on public sector issues. This year, CSG offered to let a few Fels students attend the Academy on Tuesday. Christina Tierno, Rachel Meadows, Danielle Wolfe and Lauren Hansen-Flaschen grabbed the spots and attended the day's presentations.
The morning lecture focused on Policy Development and was taught by Eric Schnurer, the founder and President of Public Works LLC, one of the leading firms specializing in improving government management, policy, and efficiency, including strategic planning with public agencies and the executive branch at the highest levels. In an effort to condense the ins-and-outs of decision making into a three-hour lecture, Mr. Schnurer kept the session enjoyable by bringing in media clips to illustrate his points. His lecture could essentially be viewed as a whirlwind tour of all the topics covered in a Masters of Public Administration. In three hours, he covered economic analysis, decision trees, statistical regression analysis, politics, and the finer points of the classic movie, Crimson Tide.
Mr. Schnurer reiterated the fact that all decisions are made at the margin, and things tend to have a declining marginal benefit as well as a declining marginal cost. He also pointed out that the real world differs from economic theory in that most actors are not rational, and lots of inefficiencies spring up in the market. These inefficiencies are often not due to the government regulation, but instead due to externalities. Schnurer summarized the importance of statistics in five key statements – 1) Statistical significance is very important, 2) A mean is more meaningful if there is small variance, 3) One must be able to explain the data, 4) The data should reveal something not already known, and 5) The conclusions should support larger implications.
Mr. Schnurer also made two book recommendations that Fels students should add to their reading list - Essence of Decision: Explaining the Cuban Missile Crisis and The Last Hurrah. This whirlwind tour of public policy application reminded us of the complexities of policy making and the importance of continuing education opportunities for those who serve as administrators, especially in troubled economic times.
The lunch keynote topic was Reflections on Presidential Leadership, delivered by David Eisenhower, director of the Annenberg School for Communication's Institute for Public Service. Not only was the food delicious, but we sat at the table with David Eisenhower and the CSG academy directors. Lunch conversation floated from discussing the financial situation of the Philadelphia School district to the US economic crisis to baseball and the embarrassment that is the Red Sox. At around 1pm, Mr. Eisenhower delivered his talk. Mr. Eisenhower spoke of the leadership qualities and action items of past US Presidents, FDR, Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, and of course Dwight Eisenhower.
CGS wants to provide more opportunities for students to attend these events, and as a Fels partner, MPA students are ideally situated to take advantage of this great resource.

According to a March 9, 2014, report in The New India Express, Samsung is in development of a system that will make your hands into an augmented reality keyboard.
The concept is that a small wearable camera will project numbers and letter onto your fingers. Your hands will be facing you palms up. Numbers will be assigned to the forefinger and letters to the other fingers. You will use your thumb to indicate the letter or number you want to "press" and the camera will record the intensity of the pressure. Intensity would most probably control capitalization but the reports do not state this directly.
An earlier report in The Guardian claims that the system will be a component of Samsung's Galaxy Glass. A photo of the prototype can be seen here.
While innovative, this could be yet another reason to ban typing and walking to prevent accidents. Perhaps the camera could be adjusted to look ahead and warn the user of oncoming obstacles.
This idea could get very interesting when it goes public.
Casinos will probably ban the device. If casinos did not ban the device, then card counting and checking the odds on any bet would give the wearer a definite advantage over the house.
People will have to wait and see what form the device takes until the initial presentation of the final version.

Game Change Director Says McCain Staff Acted Out Palin's "Mini-Meltdowns" for Him
"Eyes at half-mast."
Sarah Palin denies that she became catatonic during campaign prep sessions for her infamous 2008 interview with Katie Couric and then again before a debate with Senator Joe Biden. But at a premiere party last evening at the Four Seasons for his new HBO film Game Change, director Jay Roach told Daily Intel that he went beyond the John Heilemann/Mark Halperin book on which the movie is based to source this key scene. "We checked with a lot of people who were in the room, and we were like, 'Really? She just shut down? I know you're saying mini-meltdown, or shut down, but people throw the phrase around. What does it mean?'"
Roach explained the question was motivated by more than just fact-checking — he needed to know how to direct Julianne Moore to perform those scenes. "So they said, 'I'll act it out for you,'" Roach said. "And they would sit, stare at the floor, not respond, you know, eyes at half-mast. And I was so shocked."
As to Palin's version of events, Roach said he understands "why a politician wouldn't want a weaker moment to come out," but he believes it makes her "more human." "She was in such a predicament," he said. "Her interviews had gone terribly, she didn't have time to prepare, and people she no longer trusted were in charge of the preparation. Her kids were in all that turmoil, and her son was shipping off to Iraq." To have to battle Biden, "a guy who's been debating for decades and knows everything about foreign policy," was enough to make anyone collapse, the director said. "I would have had to be scraped off the floor before facing that."
Now that Roach has tackled the election campaigns of 2000 (in Recount) and 2008, does he see a potential movie taking shape this time around? "I don't see it yet!" he said. "What's the 2012 version? I don't know. But I've been enjoying the SNL [satires] — Jason Sudeikis as Romney!"

A Look at Featherweight, Now Serving Jujube-Infused Gin Cocktails in Williamsburg
Mama said knock you out! Or at least fix you a strong drink.
Along with James Freeman and original Weather Up bar man Johnny De Piper, proprietors Kathryn Weatherup and Matthew Maddy have opened Featherweight, a dimly lit but warm cocktail bar adjoining Sweet Science on Graham Avenue in Williamsburg. Although the place is reportedly accessible via passage through Sweet Science's boiler room, the new bar's main entrance sits directly beneath a three-story-tall mural of a boxer clutching his punching bag. Check out more on the space and its cold beverages, straight ahead.
The bar has been (quietly) open since the end of September. Its pared-down cocktail list includes the "Witch's Brew," made with jujube-infused gin, Gran Classico, and lemon; the "High Roller" combines Champagne and Antica Carpano Formula.
If you can't find the bar, here's the sign you're getting close.
Featherweight is open from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
135 Graham Ave., nr. Johnson St., Williamsburg; 202-907-3372

PRINCETON — Ronnie Mudge knew he had a no-hitter going. And he didn't mind talking about because his St. Bede teammates took all the pressure off him.
The Bruins broke the game open early with seven runs in the first inning and scored three more in the second to go up 10-0. All Mudge had to do was pitch, and he did it well, pitching the Bruins to a 13-0 shutout.
"I just go out there and throw. (If) they hit the ball, they hit the ball," he said. With such a big lead before he took the mound, Mudge added he just wanted "to keep this lead going. Just throw strikes and let the defense (play)."
The senior right-hander retired the first 11 batters he faced, losing his perfect game with two outs in the fourth inning when Tiger Matt Hayes sneaked one through the hole on the left side of the infield. Nick Rolando followed with a solid single to left, but that was all the Tigers would get off Mudge in his four innings.
The Bruins got the hits when they needed them, scoring all 13 runs with two outs. Mudge, who had three hits in the game, got the Bruins on the board with a two-out, two-run single with the bases loaded in the first inning. He said he just wanted to make contact "because if I hit the ball the bases were loaded, and one run was coming in."
Jake Postula drew a bases-loaded walk; Sam Lucas blooped a two-run single to center; and lead-off man Brad Groleau brought in the seventh run of the inning with a liner to center.
"The left-hander started pushing the ball a little bit and couldn't find the strike zone. Just a tough situation for a young kid. It leads to a lot of runs and it's tough to catch up," SBA coach John Bellino said.
The Tigers had seen this before when the Bruins plated seven runs in the third inning on the way to a 11-3 win over PHS Tuesday. With a better luck Thursday, the Tigers could have gotten out of the first with no runs.
Tiger starter Isaiah Taylor, a sophomore left-hander, benefited from a pair of Bruins caught looking with a generous strike zone. But an error proceeded a base hit by DH Logan Bima and a walk to Brandon Pietrowski, before Mudge came through with his two-out single.
Taylor was tagged for four hits and seven runs, none of which, however, were earned before senior right-hander Kyle Arnett came on in relief to finish out the first inning.
"We just have one bad inning every game," PHS coach Tim Taylor said. "Tonight, we had two outs, ready to make the inning finish with no runs, and it just didn't happen. They capitalized on each other, and we lost our strike zone. We had a tough time getting the strike zone all night. It just wasn't our pitcher's night."
In the third, Postula had a RBI single, and Bobby Morrow ripped a two-run single to make it 10-0. Joel Inciong hit the Bruins' first homer of the season with the new bbcore bats, a three-run shot to left field off Tiger reliever Caleb Dickens, who was celebrating his 16th birthday.
With the no-hit bid erased, Bellino summoned third baseman Brandon Pietrowski to get some work on the mound. Sam Schlesinger managed to beat out an infield hit to become just the third Tiger to reach safely in the game.
"We're starting to find ourselves. We're getting better," Bellino said.
• Notes: The Tigers are scheduled to host Geneseo for a 10 a.m. double-header Saturday. The Bruins will host rival Hall Monday at the Academy.

Discover the early days of The Black Project, a dark and surreal first work of award-winning graphic fiction
Gareth Brookes' The Black Project has won Myriad Editions' first competition for an in-progress graphic novel, coming out on top of a shortlist of seven.
The Black Project is about Richard, a boy who has a dark and bizarre hobby – turning his fantasy girlfriends into reality by the use of clothes and objects. The book uses illustration and text, combined with embroidery, print making and lino cuts.
Graphic novels commissioning editor Corinne Pearlman, who judged the First Graphic Novel competition alongside novelist Ian Rankin, graphic novelists Bryan Talbot, Ed Hillyer and Hannah Berry, and cartoonist Steve Bell, described Brookes' novel as "funny macabre". The author will be working on it while away in New Zealand and the finished book will be published by Myriad Editions in 2013.
Pearlman said: "We had an incredible shortlist and we felt all the submissions were extremely publishable. We weren't expecting a fait accompli, and we want to work with Gareth to make it into something both he and we are proud of. Working on it together was part of the prize.
"We ended up choosing Gareth's novel because it had beautiful artwork, it was well written and like nothing else we've ever seen. We wanted something that had its own criteria… we couldn't really compare it to anything else so it was in a league of its own."
Brookes studied Fine Art at the Royal College of Art, but started making small press comics in 2006. He has recently been in Thailand teaching printmaking at a charity school.
The winner was announced at First Fictions, a weekend event on 20-22 January championing first novels past and present, which took place at the University of Sussex, Brighton.

Aug. 18, 2010
TEMPE - On August 18, 2004, Louie Quintana continued his coaching journey with Arizona State University as he was named the head coach of the cross country program following one year each as a graduate assistant and assistant coach with the Sun Devils. Since then, his distance group has continued to develop into one of the top programs, especially the women, who have advanced to the NCAA Cross Country Championships 12 years in a row, the third-longest active streak in the nation.
Starting as a graduate assistant in 2002 and then an assistant coach in 2003, Quintana was tabbed to take over for Walt Drenth when he departed to take over at Michigan State. Having helped Drenth mold the team he inherited, Quintana continued to build the program on both sides and saw that hard work pay off in several ways. As a team, Quintana's women have earned a pair of trophies at the NCAA Cross Country Championships by placing fourth in 2005 and 2007 while his men and women both played roles in helping the track & field team to nine Top 4 finishes at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field Championships, including NCAA titles by the women (2007 indoor and outdoor and 2008 indoor) and the men (2008 indoor). His women also helped the Sun Devils to three Pac-10 Championships in a row outdoors (2006-08).
Individually, Quintana also has continued to bring in some of the top athletes. On the track, the program had just one distance national title (Alex Henderson, 1959 two-mile run) before Quintana arrived and now has four more crowns, including Kyle Alcorn (2008 indoor 3,000m run and 2008 outdoor 3,000m steeplechase), Amy Hastings (2006 indoor 5,000m run) and Victoria Jackson (2006 outdoor 10,000m run). In his time at ASU, Quintana has worked with 15 student-athletes that have earned 39 All-America honors, including 10 in cross country, 12 on the indoor track and 17 outdoors. Historically, he has coached one of the only two men to earn two cross country All-America honors (Aaron Aguayo, 2004 & 2006); the only woman to earn three cross country All-America honors (Hastings, 2003-05); and the best finish by an individual man at the NCAA Cross Country Championships (Brandon Bethke, 7th in 2009).
Dating back to his first days on campus in 2002, Quintana, the 2006 USTFCCCA National Assistant Track & Field Coach of the Year for women's distances, has worked with athletes that collected 14 Pac-10 titles, including nine in the 3,000m steeplechase. Among those winners was a stretch of four years in a row with a different ASU woman taking the crown and four-consecutive wins by Aaron Aguayo on the men's side, making him the only man to win that race four times in a career and just the second man ever to win the same distance race (over 1,500m) four times in a career, joining Steve Prefontaine on that exclusive list.
One of his athlete's individual wins also is very historic as Hastings captured the Pac-10 Cross Country Championship crown at the 2004 meet in San Francisco, marking the first time in ASU history that a Sun Devil had won the race. Through the 2009 season, Hastings' victory still stands as the only victory of any kind (individual and team included for men and women) in program history.
After their Sun Devil careers, Quintana's individuals also have continued to shine, including the likes of Hastings, Aguayo, Alcorn, Lisa Aguilera, Desiree Davila and Fasil Bizuneh, to name a few. On the world level, all six have represented Team USA at an IAAF event, including Aguayo (2007, Osaka), Aguilera (2005, Helsinki), Alcorn (2009, Berlin) and Davila (2009, Berlin) at the outdoor championships and Davila (2010, Doha) at the indoor championships. Several of those individuals have also competed for Team USA at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, including Bizuneh (2007, Mombasa) and Hastings (2010 and 2008). Hastings and Davila also have competed in the championships for the half-marathon and the 20km road race.
Quintana's runners also have been academically sound and have earned numerous awards. His women's cross country team has continually held one of the top grade-point averages on campus and have been honored by the USTFCCCA on several occasions. His runners have collected six USTFCCCA All-Academic honors in cross country and 26 more in track & field while 94 Academic All-Pac-10 honors have been earned in cross country with another 122 in track & field. Both Jenna Kingma (2008) and Bethke (2009) were named the Pac-10 Scholar of the Year for cross country while Jackson was selected as the USTFCCCA Women's Division I Outdoor Scholar of the Year in 2006.
The Sun Devils' seventh season with Quintana serving as head coach will begin on September 4 at Buffalo Park in Flagstaff, Ariz., as ASU will participate in the George Kyte Invitational, hosted by Northern Arizona.

Unfortunately, a trend known as the "facekini" has made a major impression in the fashion world. What exactly is a facekini, you ask? It's a nylon head mask constructed with the purpose to protect the face from harsh sun rays. The mask covers the entire head and neck down to the collar bones, revealing only the mouth, eyes and nose.
Several celebrities and fashion icons are encouraging the robber-esque accessory. Former Vogue Paris Editor, Carine Roitfeld, ran a swimwear photoshoot of models wearing facekinis in CR Fashion Book, her biannual magazine.
The CR editorial titled "Masking in the Sun" reads: "Our latest summer story represents an opposing to ideal of beauty altogether, with masked poolside models set out to soak up as little sun as possible."
According to an article in the Independent, the trend emerged in China in 2012. During this time beachgoers were seen covering their faces with Mexican wrestler inspired masks. The facekini then became popular in the north-eastern city of Qingdao.
Today, the facekini has become so popular that they are under mass production in China and are available for purchase in local swim shops or online. And just like swimwear, you can get them in different colors and prints.
But what doesn't make sense to me, other than the fact that it seems as though wearing this new trendy swim item would cause the wearer to go into a serious heat stroke, is that for centuries women have been trying to earn the right to walk around on the beach without having to be fully covered. And now, we don't even want to show our face? What has happened?
In 1908, actress and professional swimmer Annette Kellerman, who is known as the first woman to wear a one-piece bathing suit in public, was arrested for indecent exposure while modeling the "new" and apparently "scandalous" style. Years later, even after women's suffrage was granted, female beach goers were still being handcuffed over one-piece suits.
In the 1930s, women gained the confidence to wear a two-piece that was still modest, yet comfortable and stylish. In the 60s, the naval was revealed for the first time in swimwear. Then, the sexual revolution blew up and women left their tops in the sand altogether.
Swimwear fashion was just one evolving issue that eventually created a change in the standards of beauty—the working class was no longer the only group to have a tan. The wealthy would take off on exotic vacations or stay home reclining poolside to obtain the perfect summer glow. For years, the mantra was the tanner the better.
Then, science struck.
The sun was no longer girl's best friend. Studies revealed that the exposure to harmful UV rays could cause signs of aging and skin cancer.
Recent studies show that 80 percent of skin aging is a result of UV rays. And melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, has seen a 200 percent increase since 1973. But, ironic as it is, our bodies need the sun for Vitamin D. The sun's rays have also been proven to reduce the risk of esophageal, pancreatic and ovarian cancers by half.
There are also several beauty products that are sun-approved. SPF can now be found in lip balms, moisturizers, eye creams and make-up. Yet, some women are still sporting ski masks to the beach.

The Employee Separation Payment Authorization (ESPA) form must be completed when an employee separates from University employment. This form authorizes payment of unused annual leave, unused compensatory time, and also authorizes the payment of sick leave at retirement.
The Online Work/Leave System will automatically generate the ESPA form when an employee's OWLS record is ended due to separation.
The ESPA form generated through OWLS will automatically populate appropriate leave balances and employee information. A few items will still need to be entered on the worksheet prior to submitting the finalized form to Payroll.
A completed form must be sent to the Payroll office to ensure payment to the employee of the applicable hours. Submit the form even if the employee is not eligible to be paid for any leave.
The ESPA form may be regenerated at any time through the calendar screen of the ended record.
To regenerate the ESPA form, open the employee's prior record and take the following steps:
At the time an employee retires from employment, or dies while still employed, the full balance of accrued sick leave hours is converted to payment at the rate of 25%. For retiring employees, the cash value is applied to the tax-free medical expense account that may be used by the retiree and eligible dependents to pay medical expenses after retirement. For more information about the medical expense account, please visit the VEBA page.
View the Sick Leave at Retirement or Death webpage to help determine which budget numbers to enter into the ESPA form for those separation reasons.

In an effort to curb of identity theft and taxpayer fraud, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has decided to change its procedures concerning the acceptance and verification of Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). What is an ITIN? This number is the designated form of identification for those taxpayers ineligible for a Social Security Number. According to the IRS, the changes are hoped to deter taxpayer fraud in the form of fraudulent tax returns.
Despite the altruistic undertones of the updates, tax professionals were not overly enthusiastic at the outset. Though tax professionals concurred with the IRS that changes in the way ITIN's were generated were needed, they felt (at least in the first round of changes) the timing was less than fortuitous (they occurred during tax preparation season).
Interim guidelines are now (mostly) permanent and among the changes one significant difference is that ITINs now expire after five years. Another level of verification added is the requirement that applications be submitted with original documentation (or copies certified by the issuing agency), a departure from the previous IRS practice of accepting documents that were not notarized copies of documents.
To support obtaining the proper ID validation in more than a handful of remote locations, "trusted outlets" approved by the IRS to review original documents will be allowed. By trusted, they mean really trusted. Among those agencies that are IRS approved are Certifying Acceptance Agents (CAAs). Furthermore, CAAs are now limited to agencies subject to Circular 230 – which narrows the pool to certified public accounts (CPAs), attorneys, enrolled agents (EAs), actuaries, or retirement plan agents and registered tax return preparers (RTRPs) (for the most part).
Individuals applying for ITINs will continue to be served by IRS ITIN centralized sites, some key IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs) or for those overseas the appropriate proxy agency – the nearest U.S. Tax Attaché (e.g., London, Beijing , Paris, and Frankfurt). Low-Income Taxpayer Clinics and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Centers are also staffed with CAAs. Foreign students can obtain certification at any Student Exchange Visitors Program (SEVP). Exceptions to the new guidelines include: U.S. military spouses and dependents, non-resident aliens seeking an ITIN for the purposes of tax treaty benefits, and Student Exchange Visitors Program (SEVP) participants.
Heightened security measures for CAAs require using IRS Form 14194 and certifying they have properly reviewed the aforementioned acceptable forms of documentation by one of two methods: 1) either face-to-face, or 2) through a live video interviews (e.g. by Skype).
In a webinar promoted by the ITIN Policy Section, they discuss the rationale behind the changes, the new five-year expiration period, ITIN changes and certification, the CAA application process, and the new training requirements. The webinar also details the training requirements for foreign and domestic CAAs. For those who have successfully completed the training, the IRS recommends specific tools to authenticate someone's identification, among them, the latest edition of the ID Checking Guide for the U.S. and Canada.
These stricter identity verification controls, including specialized forensic training, are the next wave of measures the IRS is taking to ensure taxpayer identities and refunds are protected from those who would prey upon them. And in an age when more and more personal transactions are conducted online, and identity theft continues to rise, they are a welcome preemptive strike for the security of private individuals and their hard-won tax returns.

Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt and Rebecca Hall have joined the cast of Nicole Holofcener's new untitled dramatic comedy for Sony Pictures Classics reports Reuters.
Holofcener ("Friends with Money") wrote and will direct the film which revolves around a woman (Catherine Keener) and her husband (Platt) who live next door to an elderly woman whose New York apartment the couple owns.
The pair are essentially waiting for the elderly woman to die so they can reclaim the apartment but run into interference from - and then form a relationship with - the woman's granddaughters (Peet and Hall).
Several roles haven't been cast, including the part of the grandmother and of Keener's daughter. The movie will be set and shot in New York in mid-May, and aims to wrap ahead of a potential SAG strike.

The subject is secondary to the "In-Reply-to" header (which is handled correctly by "reply to all"). This is also why replying to a message to "get the e-mail address" for a new message breaks threading (aka "Hijacking a thread").

In Profile: Kader Mangane
by Kate Smith
A closer look at Sunderland's newest recruit.
Tough tackling Mangane joins the long list of Africans to have graced the Barclays Premier League when he put pen to paper on his Black Cats contract.
Standing at an imposing 6'5in the Senegal international is best known for his no-nonsense displays at the heart of defence as well as his tough tackling, which will make him a hit with the Black Cats faithful.
Beginning his career in his native Senegal with Rail, Magane, who is as happy in the centre of the park as he is in defence, moved to Swiss outfit Neuchâtel Xamax in 2001 and spent six seasons there before spending a year at BSC Young Boys in 2007.
Kader then moved onto French side RC Lens before moving onto Stade Rennes a year later, during his time there he was part of the side that reached the final of the Coupe de France and won the Coupe Gambardella.
After four years and over 100 appearances for Rennes he moved on to Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal in 2012 after his contract came to an end.
Kader has represented his country six times and was part of his country's 2012 African Cup of Nations campaign.

Why is it we always find the best deals when we aren't looking?
I went to Ohio to visit my family this past weekend and stopped by their local Goodwill in search of a particular picture frame. Instead, I found three pairs of heels within 15 minutes at $3.99 each! Now you must realize that I wear size 11, so fact that I found three pairs of fashionable high heels that fit perfectly in 15 minutes, at such an affordable price, is a complete miracle.
This particular Goodwill was in Beavercreek, Ohio, but check the list below for a Goodwill near you.
Times are tough and people are cleaning out their closets (including me!), so now is the time to go on a thrifting treasure hunt. Browse through fashion magazines, find items that inspire you and check your local Goodwill or independent thrift store first.
Whatever your personal fashion weakness is, thrift stores carry it. Shoes, t-shirts, jewelry, dresses, blouses, hoodies, suits, jeans, scarves, dress pants, jackets, bags, and so much more. Look and feel for your best, for less!
I can honestly say that a quarter of my entire wardrobe is from thrift stores around the world. In addition to my shoe spree the other night, I have bought an $8 wedding dress, an assortment of $3 sweaters, multiple $3 purses, and countless $1-2 pieces of vintage jewelry at local thrift stores.
Go on a thrifting adventure and you never know what you're going to find. Prepare to get your money's worth of fashion finds and prepare to look fabulous.

It's game day in the Who Dat Nation, when club-level ticketholders snuggle into their leather seats in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome's lower bowl, gaze up to the tippy-top of the Terrace seating areas and thank their lucky stars that they don't have to sit THERE.
It's also when my husband, our crazy Who Dat friends and I scale the stadium steps, stand on our vinyl cheap seats, pound our fists against the metal wall behind the Terrace's top rows, gaze down to the club-level seats, and thank our lucky stars we don't have to sit THERE.
This may surprise people who think the Superdome seating areas are basically divided into "first class" and "coach." But the thousands of diehards who choose to sit closer to the ceiling than the field know what I mean when I say that the upper deck is the screaming, jumping, hugging, foot-stomping, high-fiving, hard-partying heart of the Who Dat Nation.
"Once I had a ticket way down there," said Mike Burton, pointing to the lower level from his seat in the 30th row of section 620. "I couldn't yell like I do up here. And there was nothing to bang on, no wall behind me to hit. I was miserable. So halftime came and I left and came right back to section 620 where I belong."
Section 620 is Superdome home to me, my fanatical Who Dat husband, Mike, and our neighbors Doug and Pat Bailey. Together we make the Everest-like ascent to our season-ticket perch, reuniting every home game with the rest of our black-and-gold peeps: Reggie, Mike and Stacey, Keith, Kim and Eric, Chris (the Who Dat spawn of the Baileys) and the guy we call Bret, a dead ringer for classic rocker Bret Michaels, to name just a few of our nosebleed-section noisemakers.
I'm more into socializing than strategizing -- I have no idea what a nickel defense does or doesn't do, and I have no idea what the players are supposed to do at each position. All I know is that every time I hear someone is a tight end I get the giggles (and an eye roll from Mike).
But I would never miss game days in the Six-Two-Oh. I love my "Up There Peeps." I love the way everybody cheers when the beer man makes it to our row -- not only because he is packing, but because of the effort he made to get there. I love the fact that in my section everyone knows everyone even though nobody knows anyone, if you know what I mean -- and if you're a longtime Saints season ticketholder, I know that you do.
I even like "shooting the chutes," which is how we describe walking the halls of the Superdome instead of riding the escalator up.
Before one home game this season, I counted 976 steps from the Plaza level entrance to our seats at the top of section 620. Given that 2,000 steps equal a mile, that puts us nearly half a mile up. Like all experienced climbers, we have learned to pack as lightly as possible for the expedition. Pat once said we should either quit buying our snacks before we get to our seats, or start bringing Sherpas to carry them.
We usually get to our spots early and watch our fellow high-lifers file up. We greet them as if they were long-lost explorers sent to rescue us, only to find us now living comfortably on top of the Dome.
Les Levy, the Bret Michaels look-alike, attends with his wife, Jarrussa, and their four sons, Les Jr., Emmanuel and twins Eli and Gabriel. He, like the rest of us, wouldn't trade our spots for a whole row of club seats.
"I love section 620. I call it 'The People's Section,' " he says. "It is where the true diehard Who Dats sit. We bring it better than any other section in the Dome."
Section pride runs so high here that after the Saints won Super Bowl XLIV, Reggie Aucoin had a tattoo made that shows a fleur-de-lis shedding black-and-gold tears into the words "Section 620."
"You see this?" he says proudly as he pulls up the sleeve of his shirt. "This is who I am. I bleed black and gold and this is my section.
"I will tell anyone that I want to be cremated, and then I want my family to bring some of my ashes up here and put them right here on this back board, so that whenever any one else pounds on it, a part of me will always be there. That way, I will never miss a Saints game, even when I am gone."
It's not all about the camaraderie, though -- the eye-in-the-sky view is awesome. The steep slope of the seats means that our view of the field is unobstructed, unlike those much more expensive seats below us. But we don't sit much. In fact, the only time my husband and I sit down is when I am snacking or he is refusing to do the wave.
He says he's a wave purist. He thinks it should be saved for the big games. I think he is a nut.
Needless to say, the walk down from 620 is a lot easier than the walk up. Club seaters get out of the Superdome sooner, but I'm not jealous. The descent is one of the highlights of game day. Re-shooting the chutes after every victory, we rock the Who Dat chant, rattling the walls with our chants of "Who Dat! Who Dat! Who Dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints!"
This season, No Dat gonna beat dem Saints. And nobody's ever gonna get me out of my cheap seats. We're so far from the field, the Kiss Cam can't reach us. We're so close to one another, no matter what the scoreboard says, we always walk away winners.

And then... there were four. The total of pregnant Outblush editors has reached four. If you don't want to get pregnant, do not work for One Ring to Rule Them All. Anyway, all us pregnant ladies have been lamenting on how hard it is to cover our bumps and maintain our sense of style. That's why we're so juiced about these ASOS Maternity Red Skinny Jeans($64), which actually stay up and have an actual buttoning waistband that makes us feel like a real human being, and not some crazy person who has tights material pulled up to her boobs and whose pants keep falling down. We're all wearing them right now.
Congrats! To you...ALL.
Sheesh, what's a gal gotta do to get a non-procreating writer around here?

Casa Gavion Uses a Breathing Gabion Wall To Keep Cool in Baja, Mexico
Start Slideshow
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxCollectivo Mx designed and built this fascinating geometric home in Baja Mexico, where the sun shines almost every day of the year. Inspired by the architecture of Luis Barragán who believes in "emotional architecture", Collectivo Mx wanted to evokehis style through the use of sensuous aesthetics, vivid colors, and attention to spaces and light - all while accentuating the building's natural surroundings. With summer temps lasting almost all-year-long, a big concern was keeping the house cool without the use of air conditioning - so the architects employed gabion baskets to create a "breathing" wall that shields the home from the sun while allowing breezes in through the gaps. In addition to the use of regional materials and local labor, Casa Gavion also makes use of high-performance insulation, solar power, and grey water recycling.1
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxCasa Gavion by Collectivo Mx is a private eco home in Baja, Mexico that makes use of passive design, regional materials and emotional architecture.2
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxLuis Barragán, who is considered to have reinvented Mexican modern architecture, said "I believe in emotional architecture," and this was what Collectivo Mx was trying to evoke through the Casa Gavion.3
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxTheir use of massive proportions, volumes, forms, textures and colors were all aimed to move feelings and emotions.4
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxThe studio designed the home so that each room had access to the outdoors and windows slide open to connect with terraces and courtyards.5
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxA rock tower climbs above the home to enjoy 360 degree views of the Sea of Cortez, the surrounding landscape and the adjacent golf course.6
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxThe home features no air conditioning and all cooling is provided via passive means.7
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxGabions, which are normally seen along highways as retaining walls, are reinvented here as a shade screen and shield the home from the intense sun, but allow air to move through the space.8
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxThick insulation on the roof protects the home from overheating, while natural ventilation and cross breezes keep it cool.9
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxRegional materials and local labor were used to build the home, which was also designed for durability and low maintenance.10
- Casa Gavion-Collectivo MxIn addition the home also features a solar energy system, a grey water system, and an ingenious pool design which integrates dipping pool, swimming pool and jacuzzi reduces the water consumption generally used in homes with pools.11

Wowee...what a fun pawty day in Catsterland, with all the balloons and delicious cake! We tried to make sure we sent thank yous to all our wonderfur furiends who sent balloons and cake to us, but just in case we messed up (i.e., in case our catretary aka mom messed up) and missed anyone, we are so sorry & want to make sure you know how very much we appreciate all the wonderful messages & gifties.
Funnest new toys!!!May 14th 2013 5:21 pm

Oh my catness, mom got us these great new cat toys! They are called Neko Flies. There are all different kinds of "bugs" on strings that attach to this stick thing mom holds. Those bugs fly through the air, crawl around on the floor, hop up & down, and sneak around corners, and make all 3 of us get the kitty krazies! We run and jump to catch the bugs & try to chew on them till mom wrestles them away so they can fly away. I run from floor to couch to chair to ottoman to floor and back chasing those bugs until I have to rest. Harley likes to sit on top of the table or some other furniture and swat at the bugs & try to catch them from there. But sometimes, that great big guy jumps down and attacks those bugs--it is so funny! Cody likes to leap in the air after the bugs--he jumps really high--even higher than me & I am a good jumper! Hope all our furiends are having as much fun as we are!

We tried very hard to send thank yous to everyone & sure hope we did not miss anyone. On this special day, we are so grateful for our mom, cat moms everywhere & our special Catster furiends. We hope you all have had as beautiful a day as we have had. Purrs from all of us.

-10 kg!
Wednesday, August 01, 2012
My body seems to function like a clockwork. Every two months, I lose 5 kg. And when i say 2 months, I mean it. Always on the 1st or 2nd of the month, I can step on the scale and I've cracked the mark. I started at 100kg on the 1st of april. Now, 4 months later, the 1st of august, I've cracked the 90. I weighed in at 89.8 today.
And it's so much more than that. Now, I've gone from a BMI of 33.9 or something to a 29.9.
That means, I've gone from obese to overwheight. One step on the way. I feel a lot better, you can actually see that I've lost weight.
I've gone from a (german) pant size of 44-46 to a solid 42. I can feel bones I didn't even know I had. I feel a lot more healthy and active, I do more sports and I actually feel the muscles I always knew I still had somewhere under that fat. I've never been an unsporty person and I have remarkable amounts of nice muscle mass under all that fat, you just couldn't see them.
In my early teens I've been quite serious about swimming, being in a club and exercising on a very high level three times a week. When I was 16, I just felt I had enough for a lifetime and I quit. Since then... I just gained weight. I mean, I've never been slim in my entire life, I've always been overwheigt, even with all that training, but after I had quit, I just sort of lost it.
Now that I'm back on track, I picked up swimming again. I'll never be as good as I used to be then, and I'm only going once a week, but it definitely does me some good. When I started a agin in january, I could barely swim for half an hour on a fairly low level before I was completely exhausted. I was shocked at my poor condition.
Now, I can easily do a 75 min. workout of varying intensity. I have an exercise plan with intervall and sprint trainings, completed with some strength and special exercises. It's definitely getting better again and having been in a club gives me the knowledge to put together my exercise plans.
I just need to keep up going every week. Recently I've also started to do some strength-training, especially for my abs. One day, I might actually be able to see them, after all that fat is gone ;)

Curry County commissioners will vote March 6 whether to allow the city of Brookings to annex county-owned parcels surrounding the airport, located just northeast of Brookings.
The decision, however, was only reached after more than two hours of segues into discussions of management, intergovernmental agreements, zoning — even a threat by the county to back out of the deal altogether.
According to Brookings Mayor Ron Hedenskog, the county asked the city to take over management of the airport because it was losing money. The county, in all discussions, would retain ownership.
The city would like the property annexed for a variety of reasons, including the development of light-industry uses.
Other reasons are to use the property for staging area for disasters as the airport would likely be the only one intact along the coast after a major earthquake, supply water for future development in the area, and to increase water pressure in the city's water system by building a tank and infrastructure.
Under that rationale, and with county backing, the city applied for and received a $1.7 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to build a 1-million gallon water tank and sewer and water lines to the airport. The city must provide $1 million toward the project under the terms of the grant.
But under city municipal code, any area served by water and sewer infrastructure must be within city limits, and county officials indicated they might prefer an intergovernmental agreement that allows them to keep the property within the county and allow the city to cross that land with its water and sewer pipes.
"The grant is based on the premise of enhancing the airport and adjacent county property for economic development and disaster response logistics by making sewer and water service available," said Commissioner David Brock Smith. "If sewer and water could not be used if the airport were excluded from the service area, that would make any project economically unfeasible."
Recouping $1 million
The city is under a deadline to get the water tank built; City Manager Gary Milliman said engineering must begin in April to meet a late-summer construction deadline.
And if it is delayed too long, the city will lose the grant, Milliman said.
"That would be extremely unfortunate to not access that funding," he said. "We were the only project to be funded in the state of Oregon. The city's not capable of paying the total cost of the project at this time. We'd have to wait some number of years for revenues to come into the city."
All agreed at the special meeting Tuesday that both entities will benefit from future development at the location northeast of Brookings. City officials said they want to recoup the cost of their $1 million investment by having control over development there – development that can only occur with annexation to the city.
"The council is adamant that the money invested by the city must have some methodology to be recovered," said Mayor Ron Hedenskog. "The city is spending money to make it (water and sewer infrastructure) happen. Unless the city gets its costs recovered, we're not moving ahead. That is ironclad to the city. There must be a way for us to recover our investment. Or I feel this is a broken deal."
Smith said annexation and development of light industrial uses at the airport won't recoup the city's investment as quickly as will the System Development Fees Brookings charges to property owners in the area around the airport as the area grows.
"The county is under no obligation to recoup your investments," Commissioner Dave Itzen stated. "We have no interest in doing that on behalf of the city. If that was your supposition, your were sorely mistaken."
Urban Renewal Area
Another concern the commissioners have is the possibility the city would place the area into its Urban Renewal Area.
When land is placed into a URA and assessed for tax purposes, any future assessment increases – a maximum of 3 percent a year – go to the city's URA fund, and none of that goes to the county or other taxing districts.
URAs are created to make improvements to "blighted" areas, and Brookings is the only city that has such a district in Curry County. They are typically in place for 15 years; after that, the money collected is to then be disbursed to other taxing districts, but County Assessor Jim Kolen said other cities with URAs most often merely continue them. Brookings' was established in August 2002.
The county lost out on $30,000 last year alone on revenue that could have been collected for county services but instead went to the URA, Kolen said. Schools lost out on $543,000 last year.
Smith suggested the city change its law about in-city service, and allow property owners in unincorporated areas to access services without annexation.
"The city took a pretty hard stand," said Commissioner Susan Brown said. "There are ways we can do this without annexation. But they're saying annexation or nothing."
Zoning issues
Brown would prefer the land remain under the auspices of the county with the two entities signing an IGA so the county could develop its land separately. Such an IGA could be worded to allow the city's sewer and water lines to cross county property to reach its proposed water tank to be built on land owned by South Coast Lumber on the hillside east of the runway.
How the county would develop its land without water or sewer services – much less, money – was not discussed.
City zoning, too, could preclude certain kinds of development the county's zoning currently allows.
"Could someone propose something via county zoning and have to go through city planning for a conditional use permit?" asked Hedenskog. "That might open a can of worms, but we're dealing with two jurisdictions governing over two zonings."
And, "Why is the county dragging its feet on this?" he added. "The city could develop the airport and everyone wins."
"I am kind of surprised at the reluctance the county has about annexation," said Councilor Jake Pieper. "I thought it was a slam dunk, a no-brainer. I thought the county would be glad to have an area annexed into the city. The way the airport is now, it's undeveloped. I'm unsure how the county would develop it. But bringing city infrastructure there opens the door for development."
Councilor Brent Hodges agreed.
"There is no downside to this," he said. "It will help with job creation, infrastructure, capital projects, the water master plan. Without it, it's stagnant. It's time to do something with that property. The county is in need of funds, and the city needs jobs. I don't see any reason for a great delay."

Being a good secret agent, at least on film, requires a daunting inventory of personal and professional characteristics. One has to be good looking, extremely athletic, facile with any computer terminal, an excellent marksman with any known weapon, able to operate all manner of seacraft, automobile and aircraft and fluent in many languages. Heroes like James Bond, reviewed in "Tomorrow Never Dies" yesterday, fits this bill, as does the equally talented Ethan Hunt. The most recent film featuring Ethan Hunt is "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol," from 2011.
"Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" begins with IMF agent Ethan (played by Tom Cruise) incarcerated in a Russian prison. Two of his fellow agents, Benji (played by Simon Pegg) and Jane (played by Paula Patton), help him to break out. Shortly after, the three of them are sent on a secret mission in the Kremlin. Using many of the skills described above they escape, after which a bomb destroys the Kremlin. Although the bomb was set by the dangerous Kurt Hendricks (played by Michael Nyqvist), Ethan learns from the IMF secretary (played by Tom Wilkinson) and his assistant, Brandt (played by Jeremy Renner), that he and his team are being accused of carrying out the attack on behalf of the United States. Because of this, "Ghost Protocol" is activated, which disavows IMF and dramatically curtails their access to the resources of their agency. Brandt joins Ethan, Benji and Jane, and they deploy their suite of innate spy tools to undermine Kurt Hendricks.
"Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol," like the other "Mission Impossible," movies has many big action scenes. Although they are not realistic, these scenes are still fun to watch, especially in one scene where the team is in Dubai. Here, Ethan uses special gloves to climb one of the world's tallest buildings, the iconic Burj Khalifa.
The cast is strong, both physically and artistically. Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner all do very good jobs showing that their characters are smart and good at what they do. They are a great team.
"Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" is the best film in the franchise.

PwnageTool 2.0 released for old iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch
The moment we have all been waiting for has arrived. No, Elvis Presley has not come back from the dead, the iPhone Dev Team has just released PwnageTool 2.0 for the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch. It also works for the first-gen iPhone, and in fact, it is only for that device that it works all the way through.
With regards to activating, jailbreaking, and unlocking, that is. The iPhone/iPod Touch PwnageTool 2.0 only works fully with the old, first-gen iPhone, ably activating, jailbreaking and unlocking it, while for the iPhone 3G it can only do activation and jailbreaking (no unlock yet). Of course there's no point in unlocking the iPod Touch, so…
The iPhone/iPod Touch PwnageTool 2.0 can now be had from the iPhone Dev Team's blog, or from mirrors provided by Hackint0sh and BigBoss. The file's been zipped and only comes up to a few MBs, so there shouldn't be a problem when it comes to downloading.

The canine knee consists of the femur (the long bone from the knee to the hip), the tibia (the bone between the knee and the ankle), and the patella (the kneecap). Two ligaments – the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament – crisscross and join the femur to the tibia, stabilizing the knee as it bends.
This stress can be created when a dog makes a sudden turn, twisting the knee. Recent veterinary literature also suggests that in some breeds of dogs the angle of the tibial plateau (the tibia's top) is too steep, causing forward pressure that predisposes these breeds to ACL rupture, even under normal activity.
The knee may swell. To determine if the ACL is ruptured, a veterinarian can perform a physical exam to check for abnormal forward motion of the tibia, which is called a drawer sign. If however, the muscles are very tense, the drawer sign may become evident only if the animal is anesthetized.
However, the instability of the knee makes it highly likely that arthritis will quickly occur. Also, a partial tear may progress to a complete tear. Surgery is generally required if the ligament is completely ruptured, especially in the case of a large dog. In one type of surgery, the torn ACL is replaced with heavy-gauge, surgical suture material. In a newer type of
surgery, called a Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), the head of the tibia is cut and rotated so that the plateau's angle is almost flat, eliminating the need for an ACL. A titanium plate and screws are used to anchor the two parts of the tibia together.
The recovery period for both surgeries is long, with exercise restriction often lasting 6-8 weeks, starting with at least 2 weeks of cage rest and only short walks on a leash. Walking times are gradually increased. The extended recovery period can be especially difficult for owners of puppies and young dogs that want to resume their romping before healing is complete. Veterinary instructions must be followed strictly.

The Farm at Miller's Crossing is a beautiful 200-acre farm situated in the Hudson Valley of New York. The Agawamuck Creek divides the farm providing water for the animals and plants that are raised there. The old Albany-Boston Rail bed remains on the northwestern end of the property, providing the name Miller's Crossing, which was the stop and original address of this 200 year old farm.
We grow certified organic vegetables, plants and flowers as well as raising a small beef herd. The farm has 30 acres of vegetables within a 60-acre rotation, as well as 75 acres of pasture for our cows. Our greenhouse provides room to grow the farm's transplants and bedding plants for sale. Our produce is marketed through our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), three local farmers' markets, and numerous wholesale accounts. Such diversified markets allow us to grow many different types of vegetables all season long.
