Related outings include participation in conferences and outside classes, or observation in the streets and neighborhoods of the city. The program is administered by the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) on behalf of a consortium of which The University of Iowa is a member. Participants join a group of students from other U.S. colleges and universities. UI students earn resident credit on this program.
Majors in the humanities or social sciences should be able to do upper-level work in their fields. Content classes are set up so that the more advanced students can go deeper into issues that interest them, while others work at a more introductory level. Students select from courses taught in English or French depending on their level.
A strong program of language instruction begins with an intensive two week session that subsequently meets twice a week; small classes are taught in French and instructional materials include magazines, newspapers, films, and video.
The pre-requisite for this track is two semesters of college French. Students take two required language classes, and choose three more from a range of courses taught in English or several language-through-content offerings. An option in Intercultural Communication includes joint classes with French students.
The pre-requisite for this track is three or four semesters of college French. Students take two required language classes, and choose three more from among the content courses taught in French.

Media Release: NOVEMBER 03, 2010
Over the past weeks GOD TV has received numerous reports of miraculous healings taking place in Mobile, AL. Now this weekend the global network will broadcast three meetings LIVE from the 'Bay of the Holy Spirit Revival' on GOD TV, with US Pastor, John Kilpatrick and British Evangelist, Nathan Morris.
Called after the original name given to Mobile Bay on early Spanish maps, 'Bahía del Espíritu Santo', (Bay of The Holy Spirit), the Revival started at the Church of His Presence in Daphne, AL in July and has overflowed to the Mobile Convention Center in Mobile, AL to accommodate the growing crowds that continue to gather each weekend.
John Kilpatrick is the pastor of Church of His Presence and a revivalist who, along with Evangelist Steve Hill, led the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola. This featured regularly on GOD TV in the late 1990s and John believes what is happening in Alabama is a continuation of that revival which saw countless lives changed. Nathan Morris is a healing evangelist from Sheffield, England, who heads up the ministry, Shake the Nations.
Over the past weeks hundreds of thousands of You Tube viewers have watched numerous healings take place at the Bay of the Holy Spirit Revival including the real life miracle of Delia Knox who was paralyzed from the waist down for 22 years but who, after prayer, supernaturally got out of her wheelchair and walked. The video of Delia's healing has received over 180,000 hits to date and now more than 169 million connected homes worldwide will be able to experience this extraordinary move of God in Alabama, via GOD TV.
Viewers can watch the Bay of the Holy Spirit exclusively on GOD TV this Friday through Sunday, (November 5th, 6th and 7th) at 9.30 pm (EST) with worship led by Lydia Stanley and ministry by John Kilpatrick and Nathan Morris. The LIVE broadcasts are time-shifted for prime-time viewing across the globe.
"Salvation and healing go hand in hand and we have seen hundreds of people give their lives to Christ as they experience the power of God at work," said Nathan Morris. "Miracles and healings are continuing each night. The lame walk, the blind see, deaf ears open and terminal illnesses are healed. We invite viewers to watch and experience this for themselves."
Wendy Alec, who is GOD TV's Director of Television said the network was committed to break into its schedule to broadcast revival as it happens across the globe. "It's our heartfelt mission to take the Lord's presence into people's homes through our programming. So many of our viewers were transformed by Brownsville, Lakeland and the IHOPU Student Awakening and I know many more will be impacted by these broadcasts from Alabama."
GOD TV can be viewed worldwide, and all across the USA via satellite on DIRECTV and via select local cable stations in certain cities. Online viewers can watch at www.god.tv/live or via video on demand at www.god.tv/video.

VIDEO: Baby deer gets returned to its home after being 'rescued'
This baby fawn was taken to the Wildlife Aid Foundation in England after it was found in the forest.
Simon Cowell who works at the foundation decided the little deer did not actually need rescuing. It was just waiting for its mother to come back with food.
Cowell was nervous about the return of the fawn because most wild animals reject their offspring if they have the scent of humans.
He took the fawn back to where they found it and laid it down. After Cowell brushed dirt and leaves on the animal, hoping to get its natural scent back, the deer ran off.
Cowell says hundreds of deer lose their lives every year from human interaction. He says if you find a wild animal, don't touch it and walk away quietly because the mother is likely very close.

Why MP3 Music All Sounds the Same
Although not every compressed music file is an MP3, it is the format which has remained most popular and the acronym which has become generic. It genuinely has been revolutionary, kickstarting not only the acceptance of copying, sharing and piracy, but also enabling the iPod and hence Apple's move away from being struggling computer company to being the world's most successful consumer technology business.
A large part of the development of the encoding formats technically known as MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III was carried out by engineers in Europe, including teams from the Fraunhofer IIS and University of Hanover in Germany, along with Thomson-Brandt and CCETT in France and AT&T Bell Labs in the U.S.A.
This sound technology is the subject of a book MP3: The Meaning of a Format by McGill University professor Jonathan Sterne who is interviewed at length in Pitchfork. The whole article is fascinating, but one part of it in particular highlights a less well-known effect of the rise of the MP3. It arises from the choice of people to test the quality of coding by comparing the output with that from CDs,
We're talking about professional engineers, people who work for audio companies, or people who work for radio stations. If you look at the aesthetics of the recordings, they all conform to this sanctioned radio aesthetic in terms of how recordings are made and what they sound like. I wasn't able to hear all the recordings, but if you listen to the commercial stuff, everything's recorded in exactly the way you'd expect an engineer at a radio station in 1991 to classify as "well-recorded." There isn't anything too esoteric or strange.
So by choosing mainstream music as the tests for MPEG audio, they actually produced a format that doesn't conform to universals of human hearing, but does conform very well to the record industry. In other words, a small number of mastering engineers have determined what good recordings will sound like.

The movie about kidnapper Ariel Castro is on and according to the rumor mill, Kate Mara is expected to play kidnapping victim Michelle Knight. Like so many other high profile crime cases, Lifetime is making a movie about it and on April 8, Huffington Post reported that some highly respected actors are signing on.
Lifetime has plans to make a movie around the real life crime story surrounding Ariel Castro and the three women he kidnapped and held prisoner for almost a decade. The horrifying story of how a monster was able to kidnap and hold these women prisoner in an urban neighborhood while their friends and neighbors searched horrified the nation. A Lifetime version of this event is sure to draw viewers.
Although the casting of Kate Mara still is yet to be confirmed, multiple sources are reporting the possible role for the "House of Cards" actress. Rumors surrounding the casting of Ariel Castro are less direct. Those in the know are hinting that the role of Castro will be played by a "reasonably known TV actor." Speculation as to who that actor is has been all over the place.
There have been no reports as to who might be cast in the roles of the two other victims, Amanda Berry and Georgina "Gina" DeJesus. Would would you like to see cast in the Lifetime movie version of the Ariel Castro story?

From the title of a YouTube video:
From the song じょんから女節:
春は私にゃ 遠すぎる
I suspect the second usage might be a contraction of に and the 関西弁 copula や, but I'm not sure. Did the first one come from んにゃ <= んや <= んである?
There are a few places where にゃ is used in place of certain constructions, but is it possible that these are just someone trying to be cute?
The first one is a contraction of the phrase だるまさんがころんだ, which is a children's game similar to 'red light, green light.' Seems possible that using にゃ is just trying to be childish/cute/catlike in its pronunciation.
The second one is a contraction of には, which also might not be directly related to dialects and simply a contraction based on speech. So while this isn't really cute per se, it certainly could be, but otherwise it just strikes me as a normal contraction.

We were fascinated to see this article China move may open the floodgates, which appeared in the Times Higher recently. It began 'Mainland recognition of foreign degrees taught in Hong Kong is key for UK,' and went on to explain that Chinese officials had indicated that they were close to expanding a mutual recognition agreement to cover overseas qualifications, which would attract more students from the mainland to study in Hong Kong. The UK higher education sector already offers around 70% of the overseas programmes in Hong Kong.
Our director of the International Leadership Development Programme, Dr Tom Kennie responds:
"The value of Hong Kong to UK higher education is considerable and growing. It is, however, a market which is the target of considerable competition from the US, Australia and India among others. Despite this it is particularly timely to re-evaluate the region given the opportunity to access the vast market of south China. In response, we are spreading our Hong Kong programme further by visiting Guangzhou (China's third largest city with a population over 12m) to start the relationship building, which is a vital pre-requisite for further academic and commercial links. This international programme proves an ideal opportunity to really immerse yourself in this fast changing context, gain insights from key players and institutions, and reflect on the leadership processes and practices of your counterparts in many different institutions. We hope you will be able to join us in Hong Kong in April."
Join us in Hong Kong - Sunday 7 April – Thursday 11 April 2013
The spring 2013 run of ILDP begins in Hong Kong on the afternoon of Sunday 7 April, and in an intense five days provides the opportunity to make connections and links with a wide range of higher education contacts in Hong Kong and on the mainland. The theme of the programme is Building HE International Partnerships. To find out more check out the programme or to book a place email Hannah Phung, International Projects Manager or Book Online.

"Bachelor" couple Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke announced that they had broken up last year because they weren't on the same page with the future. Tenley and Kiptyn met on the show and started dating once the show wrapped. However, being on a popular show made it hard to have a regular daily life. Last year, she announced they had split up. According to a new People report published on Feb. 23, "Bachelor" couple Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke are back together and she is revealing that they have a new strategy for the future.
"It's a new, healthy place for us where we don't have to live up to the pressures that we were feeling," Molzahn has revealed to the magazine. "I'm happy, and I think we both know where we want it to head. The purpose and the goal is marriage and family." The two met while filming "Bachelor Pad" two summers ago, and it sounds like they have worked out their issues.
She reveals, "... It wasn't something that we thought we needed to make public. It's so important to us, and people thought that we got together through a TV show, which was a big piece of it, but then it was so public and for us there's nothing to hide, but being away from that spotlight is such a new, healthy thing for us." Of course, people who go on the show to find love are often living in the spotlight and it sounds like it was something that they couldn't do.
What do you think of them being back together? Do you think the break was good for them?

Yeah, I received 2 wonderful generous fabric cuts of Ruby Star Shining!
Here's my simple recipe for making some fun "Samosa" wristlets!
Step # 1 : Cut your fabric
You'll need
Two 6.5″ squares from the outer fabric – I have fussy cut the typewriters
Two 6.5″ squares from the lining fabric – I used the floral fabric
Two 2.5″ x 3.5″ for the zipper ends
One 2″ x 12.5″ strip for the loop
One 7″ zipper – I used a larger one and trimmed it down.
Step # 2 : Pressing
Fold all the 4 squares 1/4″ and press along one edge. If you are using a directional print like me, make sure you press the TOP edge.
Also press two of the opposite edges of the 3″ squares 1/4″
Step # 3 : Zipper
Pin and sew the 2.5″ x 3.5″ strip to the end of the zipper as shown.
Lay the zipper on the 6.5″ square as shown and trim it down to size.
Attach the other 2.5″ x 3.5″ fabric to the other side. And trim it to the zipper width.
Now it looks nice, doesn't it?
Now attach your zipper foot to the machine and sew the zipper to the lining and outer fabric in that order. Now you'll know why I pressed that 1/4″ on one side. I just align it with the zipper and sew!
Dont worry if your pouch does not stay flat! It wont matter.
Repeat on the other side.
You do not need to trim the ends of the zipper, but if you must, trim them at least 1/2″ beyond the edge of the fabric.
Step # 4 : Making the loop
Make the loop as you like. I just folded the selvedge over and stitched it. You can use a ribbon or even left over binding!
Step # 5 : Finish the pouch!
OPEN the zipper. (You'll thank me for saying this)
Lay the pouch as shown (both lining pieces RIGHT side together and both outer fabric Right Side Together) and sew the BOTTOM edges of the lining fabric together leaving a 2.5″ opening to turn out the pouch.
Repeat with the outer fabric without the opening.
Insert the loop one one SIDE and baste it between the two outer fabric pieces.
Sew along the side starting from the bottom edge towards the zipper. Sew as close to the zipper as you can, backstitching at both ends and over the loop.
Pin in place and stitch along the edges backstitching at both ends.
Now turn your pouch inside out. Poke the corners out and topstitch the opening.
Your Samosa is ready!

Scientists Confirm that Dispersants Are Increasing Contamination in the Gulf
- George Washington's blog
- Printer-friendly version
- Nov 30, 2010 1:44 PM
- 36
Even out here in the Fringe Division it is getting harder to stir up passionate debate on this subject. And soon it will be 2011 and anything that happened this year will start to be obscured by the murk of history.
I have never been among the ranks of Obama-haters (more in the neutral give-the-guy-a-chance camp) but what he has done personally and through federal agencies to suppress the original events and ongoing consequences in the Gulf surpasses Watergate in the criminal abuse of presidential power. These acts I cannot forgive.
Only 33 comments?Then again, it is an insane news day.
Thank you for staying on this story GW.It is a story with real staying power...which is a shame for those poor people in the Gulf.
Thank You!!!!!
You imbeciles REALLY believe OBL was not responsible for 9/11 - or alternatively - our government which can't cover up a bed has this vast conspiracy to work with OBL to take down the towers. AND furthermore this lie was than not exposed with the change of administration. The VAST MAJORITY - I would bet 99% of families of 9/11 survivors don't subscribe to this nonsense and therfore you are as good as spitting in their faces. And No it is NOT off topic. It gets to the very credibility (or complete lack of) of GW. He is a liar.
This topic is about the oil spill in the gulf.
Not about 9/11.
You are missing something that is true,
that something is a functioning brain.
Stay on topic or move out.
Thank you GW -
you do 'truth' a great service.
If OBL was involved he was either paid by the CIA or allowed to proceed with help for the purposes of our government. You are the imbecile. Of course, you could provide some documentation to refute GW's thesis- you do know what a thesis is? You could explain the freefall of Building 7 into it's own footprint. Or, you could just shut the fuck up and get out with your tail between legs.
Have you spoken with family members?
9/11 rescue workers?
NY firefighters IN THE TWIN TOWERS on 9/11?
Former HIGH-LEVEL MILITARY OFFICIALS about 9/11?
Have you, sir?
9/11 Commissioners:
- The 9/11 Commission's co-chairs said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements (free subscription required)
- 9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says "I don't believe for a minute we got everything right", that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, and that the 9/11 debate should continue
- 9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said "We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting"
- 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: "It is a national scandal"; "This investigation is now compromised"; and "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up"
- 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that "There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn't have access . . . ." He also said that the investigation depended too heavily on the accounts of Al Qaeda detainees who were physically coerced into talking
- And the Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) - who led the 9/11 staff's inquiry - recently said "At some level of the government, at some point in time...there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened". He also said "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described .... The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years.... This is not spin. This is not true." And he said: "It's almost a culture of concealment, for lack of a better word. There were interviews made at the FAA's New York center the night of 9/11 and those tapes were destroyed. The CIA tapes of the interrogations were destroyed. The story of 9/11 itself, to put it mildly, was distorted and was completely different from the way things happened"
If even the 9/11 Commissioners don't buy the official story, why do you?
Senior intelligence officers:
- Former military analyst and famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers". He also said that the government is ordering the media to cover up her allegations about 9/11. And he said that some of the claims concerning government involvement in 9/11 are credible, that "very serious questions have been raised about what they [U.S. government officials] knew beforehand and how much involvement there might have been", that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically beyond the scope of the current administration, and that there's enough evidence to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas and testimony taken under oath (see this and this)
- A 27-year CIA veteran, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates and personally delivered intelligence briefings to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, their Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other senior government officials (Raymond McGovern) said "I think at simplest terms, there's a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke"
- A 29-year CIA veteran, former National Intelligence Officer (NIO) and former Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis (William Bill Christison) said "I now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe (and see this)
- A number of intelligence officials, including a CIA Operations Officer who co-chaired a CIA multi-agency task force coordinating intelligence efforts among many intelligence and law enforcement agencies (Lynne Larkin) sent a joint letter to Congress expressing their concerns about "serious shortcomings," "omissions," and "major flaws" in the 9/11 Commission Report and offering their services for a new investigation (they were ignored)
- A decorated 20-year CIA veteran, who Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh called "perhaps the best on-the-ground field officer in the Middle East", and whose astounding career formed the script for the Academy Award winning motion picture Syriana (Robert Baer) said that "the evidence points at" 9/11 having had aspects of being an inside job
- The Division Chief of the CIA's Office of Soviet Affairs, who served as Senior Analyst from 1966 - 1990. He also served as Professor of International Security at the National War College from 1986 - 2004 (Melvin Goodman) said "The final [9/11 Commission] report is ultimately a coverup"
If even our country's top intelligence officers don't buy the official story, why do you?
- According to the Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 and former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob Graham, an FBI informant had hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000 and that, when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a high-level FBI official stated these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House (confirmed here)
- Current Democratic U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy said "The two questions that the congress will not ask . . . is why did 9/11 happen on George Bush's watch when he had clear warnings that it was going to happen? Why did they allow it to happen?"
- Current Republican Congressman Ron Paul calls for a new 9/11 investigation and states that "we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on"
- Current Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich hints that we aren't being told the truth about 9/11
- Current Republican Congressman Jason Chafetz says that we need to be vigilant and continue to investigate 9/11
- Former Democratic Senator Mike Gravel states that he supports a new 9/11 investigation and that we don't know the truth about 9/11
- Former Republican Senator Lincoln Chaffee endorses a new 9/11 investigation
- Former U.S. Democratic Congressman Dan Hamburg doesn't believe the official version of events
- Former U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the Military Research and Development Subcommittee Curt Weldon has shown that the U.S. tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job
If there is bipartisan questioning of the official story, why aren't you questioning it?
Other government officials:
- U.S. General, Commanding General of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, decorated with the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Purple Heart (General Wesley Clark) said "We've never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. I've seen that for a long time"
- Former Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and Carter (Morton Goulder), former Deputy Director to the White House Task Force on Terrorism (Edward L. Peck), and former US Department of State Foreign Service Officer (J. Michael Springmann), as well as a who's who of liberals and independents) jointly call for a new investigation into 9/11
- Former Federal Prosecutor, Office of Special Investigations, U.S. Department of Justice under Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan; former U.S. Army Intelligence officer, and currently a widely-sought media commentator on terrorism and intelligence services (John Loftus) says "The information provided by European intelligence services prior to 9/11 was so extensive that it is no longer possible for either the CIA or FBI to assert a defense of incompetence"
- The Group Director on matters of national security in the U.S. Government Accountability Office said that President Bush did not respond to unprecedented warnings of the 9/11 disaster and conducted a massive cover-up instead of accepting responsibility
- Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan (Col. Ronald D. Ray) said that the official story of 9/11 is "the dog that doesn't hunt"
- Several key employees for the defense department say that the government covered up their testimony about tracking Mohammed Atta before 9/11
- The former director of the FBI (Louis Freeh) says there was a cover up by the 9/11 Commission
If top government officials are skeptical, why aren't you?
Numerous other politicians, judges, legal scholars, and attorneys also question at least some aspects of the government's version of 9/11.
I'll answer for bubba:
Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate.
Occam's Razor.
Thanks Bubba, you proved your point. I got a new conspiracy for yall. I submit that GW and CD are the same person: Cathrine Austin Fitts.
a new name, eh? inadvertent, but interesting, Jean Valjean most diligent information provider....
Gawd, they get thick when it touches a sensitive spot.
Did you steal any silver today, and get pardoned by the victim?
Occam. Hmmm. Doubt it.
"So the point of this missive is that Occam's razor is bogus and can easily be demonstrated by merely examining the context of universe and the language of expressions of Occam's razor. First note that universe is ANYTHING other than simple. In fact, complexity rules. Universe, if it ever was simple, instantly headed in the direction of the nearby hills of Complexity at breakneck speed and never looked back. "
attributed to Clif High.
If ZeroHedge is a joke "by definition"
Thanks GW for continuing to collect and share. Stay safe, as I knock on wood.
Shill for who? I live in NY have zero connection to BP. But when truth becomes a casualty of conspiracy - the REAL conspiracies can't be uncovered. GW is a joke and by definition he makes Zerohedge (which could be so valuable) also a joke. And spitting on the graves of those who dies on 9/11 is a huge offense.
Bubba, because you appear - for a change - to be reading replies to your comments - did you see this ...?
First of all, your comment on 9/11 is off-topic.
Second, WATCH THIS. more...
Third, this is old (so some links may be broken), but important:
Isn't it disrespectful to the victims of 9/11 and their families to question the events of that day?
No. Many of the families of the victims question the official story and are demanding that the truth be disclosed. The same is true of many dying heroes - the first responders who worked tirelessly to save lives on and after 9/11 - and are soon to become victims of the 9/11 attacks themselves.Disrespectful to the Victims
A common tactic that 9/11 apologists use for changing the subject away from 9/11 truth is to claim that questioning the official version is "disrespectful to the victims and their families".
In fact, half of the victim's families believe that 9/11 was an inside job (listen to this interview). Many family and friends of victims not only support the search for 9/11 truth, but they demand it (please ignore the partisan tone). See also this interview.
GW, thanks again for the updates. This is turning into one big eugenics exercise. To all those who trust your government: They will kill you whenever they need to. You are an expense until proven otherwise. Then, they will use you and kill you.
It will not be a quick death, but one of long suffering from cancer. The quick deaths are for those that they cannot afford to have heard. We owe our government nothing but our disloyalty and resistance at ever turn.
P.S. no one pays attention to bubba GW. You are nice enough to refute him, but why bother.
How about this:
Mysterious Deaths of 9/11 Witnesses
Wow, bubba1231 comes out of retirement just to again comment on one of GW's oil spill articles!
Fucking shill
You LIE about your short position in BP. You Lie about the Gulf and you think the goivernment created 9/11.... Am I missing something?
I have looked through this post to see where GW thinks the government created 9/11. Can't find it. And where is the quote on short position.
On our government: In the early 60s after finishing my tour of duty in the USAF, I was hired for a job in a lab in St. Louis later moved to AZ. I went to work running a project that I had been offered in the interview. As time passed, I was "worked into" the real function of the lab, research on clandestine government activities. It was the period when fantasys about the overthrow of Castro were in vogue and the Vietnam situation was requireing attention but yet to officially start. The John Birch Society was still influencial. I was totally "gung ho" (Eagle Scout ethics) and was productive for management. It was very interesting. One workers, a PhD chemist, was analysing for the toxins in a piece of wood that had been used to kill an agent in South America. (It turned out to be the kind of poison that is produced by certain tree frogs)
The established work in the chemical area was good and useful. Some accidents in experiments with disablng (non toxic) agents resulted in very laughable situations. I know from personal experience that there are fully disabling agents (think potent Mace) that do not have long term effects, at least not yet and the events were some 47 years ago.
With that experience, I have often thought that IF the stewardesses had been trained and issued the appropriate Mace type sprays, the people who died on 9/11 would be alive today. Of course, it is also true that the airlines and stewardesses would have subject to expensive lawsuits by people that were affected even though there was no real harm. Our kinder, gentler world that we have today does have its downside.
I stayed in that job only three years because many of the work assignments coming out of DC in the other work areas indicated that clowns with budgets were proposing too much of the work. I was ashamed to be taking taxpayer money for what I was doing.
May I suggest researching the Tora Bora cave complex. You know, where we said they planned it, and ran the operation from. Turns out the CIA built it (in Afghanistan) in the 80s, to help the mujahadeen against the Russians. So you are basically saying, they were working for us (Taliban/Al-Qaeda) in the 80s, but then they went 'rogue' and turned on us.
Or, is it more likely they STILL work 'for us' (CIA) but now they have been paid to fight 'us' instead of the Soviets!
I haven't been down to the Gulf, so I won't offer a comment, but if i had to guess whether BP was lying, or GW, I would guess BP!
PsychoNews: Exposing the Oligarchy, one Psycho at a time.
Salient points.
BP shills are everywhere. Paid to coverup the damage. FUCK YOU SHILLS!
Yes, you're missing your Certified Junk.
Thanks for continuing your work on the GOM GW!
As much as I would like to agree with the author, the polyaromatic hydroc arbons (PAH) are naturally occurring in the chemistry of oil (check SARA on google .... Saturated Aromatics Resins Aliphatics). Corexit might be delivered as an aqueous solution (any MSDS?) so it will be missile with seawater and as a result marine life will cycle it so might end up in the food chain, but PAHs as aa general rule are not water soluble so, they might either float on the surface or sink to the bottom. I am not convinced corexit is to blame for PAH but oil leaked in the Gulf. Not to say either that Corexit is good for the environment, just that dots are not connected here in my opinion.
CORRECTION: It is missible with water (at least the product that I looked at, but for sure they have other products under the name COREXIT) and it disclosed as a health risk 1 (low), mostly ethylene glycol.
WHO is disclosing this information and is that person or entity truly independent? The government is not an independent entity. There are countless cases of government agencies acting as industry shills or proponents whether it be drugs, energy, water, military, industrial etc.
Trust no one and independently verify everything.
Instead of cracking down on BP, the Obama administration has granted "categorical exclusions" to federally funded stimulus projects by BP (and other companies), effectively exempting those projects from environmental oversight
Well, isn't that special....
How is all of this not illegal?
How is all of this not illegal?
For all intents and purposes The Constitution and The Bill of Rights have been usurped, amended or suspended.
They just forgot to tell you.
They should've renamed the dispersant to Maxeitworsit
In food and finance I always prefer new dangerous toxins to clean up the mess
But Mr. Steinberg said the Gulf was back to normal in an interview with Margaret Brennan last week.
Dr. William Sawyer… said… "We found not only petroleum in the digestive tracts [of shrimp], but also in the edible portions of fish.
"We've collected shrimp, oysters and finned fish on their way to marketplace — we tested a good number of seafood samples and in 100 percent we found petroleum."
Brings new meaning to the term "fish oil supplements" doesn't it?
ain't nothing like burping up a little corexit...
In my mind (and it appears many others) the Gulf Oil cover-up is on par with anything ever attempted by The USSR/Russia and China, to name two more notorious and serial cover up kings of the international kind.
We may be able to argue specifics and degrees, but the USA has jumped the shark and joined the "usual suspects" list of rouge nations. It was inevitable and unfortunate.
To quote Rogue Operator Number One (VP subdivision) Dick Chaney........"It is what it is".
Fuck the BP British cunts that go around polluting the world!! I hope the IRA resumes activities in part to retaliate against the wholesale disruption of marine ecology in the GOM.
FUCK THE BRITS! They should all be euthanize. Every last one of them. Royal wedding, the prince has a shitcock!

According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, drug overdose, including unintentional alcohol poisoning, is the fourth leading cause of premature death in the county and the 17th leading cause of death overall. Beyond Los Angeles County, however, drug abuse is a global problem. According to the 2014 World Drug Report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), which was released in Vienna, Austria on June 26, approximately 243 million individuals, or 5%t of the world's population aged 15-64, used an illicit drug in 2012. In addition, problem drug users number about 27 million, which accounts for 0.6% of the global adult population, or 1 in every 200 people.
The report noted that, although global drug use prevalence is stable, approximately 200,000 people die every year due to illegal drugs. The report appealed for a stronger focus on the health and human rights of all drug users, but particularly those who inject drugs and are living with HIV. Yury Fedotov, Executive Director of UNODC, explained, "There remain serious gaps in service provision. In recent years only one in six drug users globally has had access to or received drug dependence treatment services each year."
The report noted that globally, the use of cannabis may have decreased; however, a perception of lower health risks has led to increased consumption in North America. It notes that it is too early to determine the effects of new regulatory frameworks making the recreational use of cannabis legal in some states of the US under certain conditions, more individuals are seeking treatment for cannabis-related disorders in most regions in the world, including North America.
From 2010 to 2012, seizures of methamphetamine more than doubled globally. Methamphetamine manufacture expanded have continued to expand in North America; however, a significant increase has occurred in the dismantling of methamphetamine laboratories in the US and Mexico. Among the 144 tons of amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) seized globally, 50% were intercepted in North America and 25% were intercepted in East and South-East Asia. From 2009 through 2013, the number of unregulated new psychoactive substances on the global market more than doubled to 348.
Mr. Fedotov noted that sustainable success in drug control required firm international commitment. The UNODC recommends a balanced and comprehensive approach addressing both supply and demand should be reinforced by evidence-based responses focusing on prevention, treatment, social rehabilitation and integration. He said, "This is particularly important as we move towards the Special Session of the General Assembly on the world drug problem in 2016." Mr. Fedotov stated. In addition, he stressed that controlled substances should be made more widely available for medical purposes, including for ensuring access to pain medication, while preventing their misuse and diversion for illegal drugs.
Many drug-related deaths are due to opioids such as heroin. The report noted that a surge in opium production in Afghanistan marked a setback, because the planet's largest opium-poppy grower has increased its area under cultivation by 36%t from 154,000 hectares in 2012 to 209,000 hectares in 2013. With a crop yield of approximately 5,500 tons, Afghanistan accounted for about 80%t of global opium production. In Myanmar, land under opium poppy cultivation covered 57, 800 hectares, continuing the increase in cultivation, which began after 2006. Furthermore, in 2013, the global production of heroin rebounded to the high levels witnessed in 2008 and 2011.

Even the NHL awards did not go the way of the San Jose Sharks in 2014. Former captain and current face of the franchise Patrick Marleau was a finalist for the Lady Byng Trophy for the most gentlemanly player but lost to Ryan O'Reilly Tuesday, June 24. Former captain Rob Blake was elected to the Hall of Fame Monday, but played most of his long career for the Pacific Division rival Los Angeles Kings.
Alex Stalock joins Blake and Marleau on the photo list of Sharks up for an award, though his nomination for the Masterson Trophy that rewards perseverance after battling back from a career-threatening nerve injury did not make him a finalist. Joe Pavelski is included for winning the team's Brocade Player of the Year for the 2013-14 NHL season. Brent Burns was a finalist for the King Clancy Award that essentially acknowledges charitable work that went to Andrew Ference, and the similar NHL Foundation Award that went to Patrice Bergeron.
Thus after a season with only one Shark active for an Olympic medal team (three Olympians in all) with two finalists for what would be clearly second-tier season awards, the team's only postseason success is Blake. He was a King for almost six times as much of his career and won his Stanley Cup in a significant stint with the Colorado Avalanche.
That concludes the disappointments San Jose can accrue on the 2013-14 NHL season. The upcoming NHL draft this weekend should help everyone move on to next season. Trades are more likely as the draft approaches as well as while it goes on, then there will be a few days before the new contract year officially begins.
Do not expect the Sharks to be active in the ensuing free agency period, though they may add a few complimentary pieces. The big question that awaits them over the next two months is which players they keep and who they move out.
At the very least, it makes this the most interesting summer since general manager Doug Wilson turned the team over to younger players upon taking the helm. It should be encouraging to San Jose that what followed was the most successful season in franchise history in terms of Stanley Cup playoff wins.

MARTHA'S VINEYARD — Ask musician Nina Violet about the music scene here and she doesn't miss a beat. "There is no Vineyard music scene. The Vineyard is where musicians come to not be in a scene," she said. Well, yes and no.
It's true that the island is no longer home to the Hot Tin Roof nightclub, the folksy Wintertide Coffee House, and the progressive radio station WMVY. The first two no longer exist and WMVY is now online only. Yet music still has a heartbeat here.
From 2007 to 2011, if you happened to be at the dock in Menemsha, the fishing village on the east end of the island, on Sunday night around 7, you might have had the surprise treat of hearing the local all-acoustic hillbilly band Ballyhoo.
Brad Tucker, 33, irrepressible front man for the group renamed the Ballywhooligans, lives in Nashville most of the year. Reached recently, Tucker said he will be back on the island in September and October playing gigs at the Ritz Cafe in Oak Bluffs and the Port Hunter in Edgartown.
Tucker, who is from an old island family, remembers sneaking into the Ritz Cafe as a kid and listening to musicians such as Mike Benjamin and Johnny Hoy. Tucker's father, who plays acoustic guitar, encouraged him to pursue music, as did island musician Jemima James, among others.
Tucker is perhaps an example of a phenomenon coined by Jim Parr, a longtime local music producer: "You can't leave the Vineyard. You can try," he said.
Parr was interviewed recently as he was helping out at the island charter school's talent show at the West Tisbury Grange Hall and awaiting the next act: a kid with a Ninja whistle routine. "This is a very Vineyard scene," he said with a laugh.
On any given summer weekend you might hear rock, folk, rap, reggae, and bluegrass. Or you could hear something completely different, like the haunting songs of Violet, 30, a fourth-generation islander, who started playing the viola at age 6 but was inspired in middle school by a teacher who "called her out" for not taking music seriously. Since then she has picked up a range of instruments from guitar to mandolin, to lap steel to clarinet. Her music is folksy soul, like Laura Nyro mixed with Lucinda Williams plus a viola.
Violet first toured cross-country at 16 with the island punk band Kahoots. At 20 she toured in Europe with island folk rocker Willy Mason. As for the Vineyard, at the moment, she said, there is "a severe lull" in venues. Her musical dream is "to get an orchestra to back me up on my own compositions. Gowns and a conductor, the whole thing. Until then, I just have to make it myself, which works out."
Violet has performed off the island at venues like Lizard Lounge in Cambridge in recent years and talks about heading south soon, to Nashville, Asheville, N.C., or even New Orleans, in search of a music scene.
Not all musicians leave. Phil DaRosa, 34, has built a recording studio on the top floor of his father's print shop on Circuit Avenue in Oak Bluffs as a way to help his friends get their music noticed. "I honestly think there are so many talented artists here that don't get a lot of exposure," DaRosa said.
A singer songwriter, DaRosa plays in several island bands, including DCLA (Dukes County Love Affair), a gritty blues rock band with hip-hop elements; Island Thunder Band, which plays traditional reggae; and Kodachrome, which he describes as "fully electronic."
For the past few years Rob Myers, 41, has organized Best Fest, an end-of-summer outdoor art and music celebration with local bands. This year the event is Sept. 7 on Circuit Avenue.
A summer Vineyard kid, Myers formed Kahoots in 1994. Soon after, they set off on a cross-country tour. The band is still going strong but these days they limit their tours to the Vineyard's six towns, with a sound Myers said is hard to pin down: "part aggressive punk rock, part dance music, with some songs that are quiet and melancholy."
Myers is also in the American roots music band Good Night Louise, the straight-up punk band Master Explorer, an all-instrumental surf music band called the Hammerheads, and his solo project, Jellybone Rivers and the Maniacs of the Heart, which he calls, "oddball outsider music."
As to where to hear all this music, there are many options. For late night action, there are the bars lined up on Circuit Avenue, the Ritz Cafe, the Dive Bar (formerly the Rare Duck), and the Lampost. But there is also the new deluxe venue Dreamland, a 5,300-square-foot upstairs space opened last summer in Oak Bluffs, in a historic building just steps from the harbor.
Vineyard restaurateur JB Blau opened Dreamland because he thought the Vineyard could use a venue in downtown Oak Bluffs that could hold enough people to support big acts from off-island and the accompanying local acts as openers.
Because of the island's seasonality, he said, "It's tough to be a musician on Martha's Vineyard and tough to be a venue owner."
Another large venue is Flatbread Company Martha's Vineyard, a pizza restaurant that is the new occupant of the space formerly known as the Hot Tin Roof at the airport. Live music is scheduled there this summer on the big stage inside and a smaller stage outside.
Tony Lombardi, who ran the former Wintertide Coffee House from 1988 to 1998, now heads up Alex's Place, the teen program at the YMCA. He believes music is intrinsic to the Vineyard and will always be a part of what makes it special. The key to the local music scene, according to Lombardi, is the long winters. "Music soothes the heart of the isolated human being," he said.
Lily Cronig, 21, a clerk at Aboveground Records, said island musicians are a unique breed.
"They have a very earnest sound and that's really what does it for me. That they're just having fun and doing what they love," she said.
Sounds like a scene.Laura M. Reckford can be reached at email@example.com.

CREW Renews Request for OCE to Investigate Rep. David Valadao (R-CA)
Washington, D.C. — Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) renewed its request for the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) to investigate Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) after the congressman once again abused his position to advance his personal financial interests. Earlier this month, during a hearing of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Rep. Valadao testified in opposition to California's high-speed rail project, but failed to inform his colleagues that he stands to benefit financially if the project dies.
Read CREW's complaint to the OCE.
In testimony during a House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee entitled "A Review of the Challenges Facing California High Speed Rail," Rep. Valadao extensively criticized the planned rail line. He complained about its cost and said it would negatively affect farms and businesses in his district. Rep. Valadao did not disclose that his family operates Valadao Dairy, which owns hundreds of acres of land along the proposed path of the rail project. Many of the most vocal opponents of the rail line have claimed it will reduce their property values. According to House precedents, members may not sponsor legislation, advocate, or participate in a committee proceeding when their financial interests are at issue.
"It seems Rep. Valadao is no more familiar with House ethics rules now than he was six months ago when he first violated them," said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan. "As he continues to flout his obligation to inform his colleagues of his financial conflict of interest, it is all the more urgent that the Office of Congressional Ethics conduct a full investigation."
CREW filed its original OCE complaint against Rep. Valadao last July, after he successfully offered an amendment to the House Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill that would have required the federal Surface Transportation Board to approve the high-speed rail project in its entirety rather than allowing it to incrementally approve the construction of new segments. According to Dan Richard, chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority's board, if passed into law, the amendment could have killed the entire project.
"Rep. Valadao's continued advocacy for policies that benefit his own bottom line is seedy, but perhaps unsurprising as it appears to be consequence-free," continued Sloan. "To send the message that violations of House rules will not be tolerated, ethics investigators must hold him to account."

The Top Twenty dancers were reunited in tonight's finale featuring guest judges Adam Shankman, Paula Abdul and Twitch. The evening featured a montage of some of the most memorable moments of the season and the judges and the Top Four were asked to choose reprisals of their favorite performances.
First up, however, was a new performance created by Ivan of Season 2. The piece was a jazzy 1920's speakeasy number for the Top Twenty to "Wonderwall" by Paul Anka. The flapper dresses and shoes with spats were a nice accompaniment to this performance which showcased a few different technical strengths including the tappers. The movement in unison was the strongest and looked overall like the performance of a professional Broadway cast.
Paula's choice was the "Edge of Glory" piece from choreographer Mandy Moore with Makenzie and Paul. It was nice to see these two back together. Taking away the pressure of the competition-as we saw with nearly all the performances of the evening-added a new dimension to the dance. There was a carefree serenity and the shared smiles appeared more genuine the second time around.
For her "replay dance," Jasmine chose "Blurred Lines" by Ray Leeper with All Star Marco. It was a good choice considering this was likely her best performance of the season. However, Marco still dominated the stage and your Examiner's attention.
For Adam Shankman no other performance would do but Luther Brown's "Hello Good Morning" with Twitch and Fik-Shun. It was a nice touch for Twitch to rip off his tux shirt like a superhero and take to the stage straight from the judges' table. The performance was just as fun the second time around and worth attempting the "old man walk" in your living room.
And what would a finale be without a plug for a dance movie? Battle of the Year is coming to theaters September 20, 2013 starring SYTYCD alum Dominic Sandoval. The dance crew from the film also took to the stage with choreography from Dave Scott and some insane b-boy moves.
On the tale end of the Battle of the Year crew performance was all the news that Fox has renewed SYTYCD for an 11th season!
Nigel's choice was Anthony Morigerato's "You Really Did It" choreography for the tappers Alexis, Aaron and Curtis. The performance was definitely more dynamic the second time around and really worth revisiting.
Surprisingly, Twitch's choice was Sean Cheesman's "Kiss of the Spider Woman" for Haley and Nico. The two appeared to have recreated the performance and yet made it appear livelier somehow.
Aaron wanted to dance "I'm Kissing You" again with Kathryn and choreographed by Stacey Tookey. The beauty of reviewing this piece was seeing some little elements as though for the first time including Kathryn balancing on the tops of her feet rather than her toes.
The Top Ten guys performed the amazing Christopher Scott's "Sand" dance again which was gorgeous beyond words. This is definitely one of the must-see performances of the season.
Cat's choice was "Run the World" by Nappy Tabs for Jasmine and Comfort. It was "girl power" at its finest once again.
Mary's favorite routine of the season was Travis Wall's "Medicine" for Tucker and Robert. The performance was not only a reminder of Travis' fine work as a choreographer but also how incredibly difficult it was to choose a favorite performer this season which such amazing talent.
Happily, the evening also included a video of the incredible opening number by Nappy Tabs: "Puttin' on the Ritz." This one never gets old!
Mark Kanemura's "I Am The Best" with Jenna was up next in all its bizarre glory. Another must-see performance which does leave one oddly wanting to dance one of Mark's strange creations.
Amy and Fik-Shun picked the same favorite routine: "After Party" by Nappy Tabs. The "Hip Hop Bell Hops" lived again with this legendary partnership.
Mary and Nigel-another legendary pairing of SYTYCD fame-performed their own version of "Let's Get It On" with Adam Shankman sliding in at the last moment to play the ham and steal the show. Very cute!
The performers of Movement Box from the audition days were asked to grace the stage with some of their unique brand of beatboxing and dance.
Amy and Travis Wall performed Travis' exquisitely fluid "Wicked Game" again per audience request. (Nice choice, everyone!)
The last performance of the evening was the Top 10 and the All Stars in a surfer/beach babe performance to "Rock Lobster" by the B52s. Though the costumes were reminiscent of the 1960's beach movies, these were certainly not Annette Funicello's dance moves with elements of Hip Hop and Jazzy Broadway. The piece was quite fun to watch and appeared equally fun to perform.
And America's Favorite Dancers are: Fik-Shun and Amy who garnered the most votes overall.
What did you think of the results? And are you going to see the Top Ten on the tour starting October 1st?

TUCSON--No. 2-ranked Arizona got the biggest key hit of the game, a two-run home run by Jackie Coburn in the bottom of the seventh, to beat No. 5 Arizona State, 5-3, before a crowd of 2,987 in college softball action Tuesday night.
Neither team could get many hits in key situations, with each stranding 10 runners. Coburn's blast was the Cats seventh hit of the game and came against ASU starter Erica Beach (25-11), though the Sun Devils switched her and Kirsten Voak eight times in the game.
UA's Jennie Finch (27-2) gave up six hits, walked five and only struck out
only three to earn the victory for the Wildcats, 45-7 overall and 12-3 in
Pac-10 play. Beach threw a combined four and one-third innings, allowing
six hits and all five of the Wildcats' runs.
ASU dropped to 38-14 overall and 8-7 in league action.
Lovie Jung walked, Courtney Fossatti singled and an out later Leneah Manuma was hit by an Erica Beach pitch to load the bases for Arizona in the bottom of the first. Mackenzie Vandergeest hit the next pitch for a two-run double to give UA a quick 2-0 lead. ASU brought in Kirsten Voak to pitch and she struck out Coburn and Jenny Gladding, both looking, to end the rally.
Two defensive plays helped Arizona thwart a Sun Devil rally in the top of the fourth. Crystal Farley robbed Beach of an extra-base hit, snagging a deep fly ball on the run at the fence in center field for the first out.
But ASU loaded the bases off UA pitcher Jennie Finch with a walk, an error on Voak's grounder when second baseman Lisha Ribellia dropped a force-play throw, and a single by Kristin Farber. Jennifer Forner then singled in a run to cut the lead to 2-1, but UA third baseman Lovie Jung snared a line drive by Missy Hixon and doubled off Voak with a tage for the third out.
UA loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth but came up empty. Jenny Gladding led off with a double down the left field line, and Candace Abrams sacrificed her to third and was safe at first on a fielding error by ASU second baseman Hixon. Farley walked to load the bases. But Beach, who had returned to pitch in the second, got a line-out and two ground balls to stop the rally.
Shortstop Kara Brun hit her ninth home run of the year, an Arizona State single-season record, with one out in the fifth to tie the game, 2-2.
Arizona regained the lead with one hit in the fifth but stranded three runners again. Manuma drew a walk off Beach to open the inning and ASU coach Linda Wells brought Voak back in to pitch, the 14th of 18 defensive switches for the Devils in the game. Vandergeest singled. Beach struck out Coburn, walked Gladding to load the bases, struck out Abrams and walked Farley to force in a run. A fielder's choice by Jung stopped the rally.
The Devils put a runner in scoring position in the sixth with a walk by Voak and a sacrifice by Forner, but Finch got Hixon to ground out and end the opportunity.
ASU tied the game on an error in the top of the seventh. Nichole Thompson drew the fourth walk off Finch and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Brun. Finch intentionally walked Phelan Wright and struck out Beach. ASU catcher Adriana Garcia, with a full count, singled to the hole at second and Ribellia couldn't get a handle on the ball, allowing Thompson to score from second.
Coburn's hit came after Vandergeest singled to lead off the seventh. Vandergeest was 3-for-3 with two RBI. Forner led ASU with two hits and one of the Devils' two RBI.

Veneer Repair
The pictures below show the veneered lid of an antique sewing machine with extensive damage to the quarter-sawn white oak veneer. It was so bad that it probably should've just been either not repaired or just given a new top. You can find antique sewing machines on the web for about $100.00 in real good shape. However, on pieces of sentimental value, where the client really wants them repaired (this one was the client's grandmother's), we prefer to work with the original wood if at all possible.
Upper left is the machine cabinet as it was before we started work. Upper right is a picture of the peeling veneer.
Above left is the lid after gluing down what was there and sanding smooth. It was pressed between two other boards using maybe a dozen or so clamps. The edges had to be delicately re-edged by a router with a bit that closely matched the original curves. Above right is the finished machine, after all repairs were made. Notice on the left some lighter-colored finger shaped pieces of veneer. These were replacements for missing chunks of the original veneer. They are a little bit different color because the patches were simply regular white oak and were difficult to match to the patina after stripping. However, the client needed to draw the line somewhere because costs were starting to get too high for the budget.
Veneer repair can be hit and miss, unless the entire section is replaced. It is also really hard to make sure any patch is flush or level with the surrounding veneer, and it is hard if not virtually impossible to match grain and patina. We've managed some pretty nice repairs, even at that.
Top left is water damage that turned the veneer dark. Top right is the color removed but some curling because of the process used.
The top left of the above pair of pictures is the same area after gluing the curls down, sanding, and coloring. Right is after finishing. Notice that we managed to match the patina. These two pictures are with both halves of the table pulled together. If you look closely, at the bottom of the top half of the table (on the right-hand picture it is just below the copyright statement), you can see another repair where we replaced missing veneer and got a nice match.
The pictures above show another repair, which is not as easy as it looks. What was done in this instance is the end piece of veneer (top left picture) was shaved off, trying to leave as much of a base as possible. Then a new piece of white quarter-sawn oak veneer was glued in place (top right). The problem is to get the veneer at the exact same level as the original. Very tricky, and to our knowledge only possible with our gluing process.
In the above left picture the piece was colored, and in the above right picture you can't tell where the repair is at unless we showed you.
One more repair for the veneer section is this oval patch where we had to glue down a curled area and trim the edges (top left - the edges had curled up and some parts had broken off). Above right is where we installed a patch (again, not as easy as it seems because it has to be level).
Above left is with color added (dye stain) and above right is after finishing. Standing at a normal distance (the photographs are close ups) without knowing where it is most people cannot see it. Even when it is pointed out it is still difficult to detect.

One thing I've never been good at is eating very healthily, but I work out a lot, cycling 15 miles a day and circuit training or weights most evenings. However, I'm struggling to lose that last bit of fat around my abdomen, which is really bugging me seeing as I do so much exercise. I'm assuming this is coming vastly from my diet. Looking more closely at it, I'm eating a lot more sugar than I should. I need to eat carbs a lot because I'm a rower, and they are critical fuel for the sport. But when I'm at work, I don't get time to make proper lunches, so always end up eating crappy food that I know isn't particularly good for me. Can anyone recommend any quick things that I can pick up from the supermarket, that I don't have to cook, that can help me reduce the amount of sugar in my diet?

There's really no easy way to have very low body fat. For me anyway, when I start getting near 10%, my willpower goes out the window. But I also don't care that much and 10-15% is fine for me. It's just not worth it (to me) to shave those remaining pounds off knowing what I'd have to give up.
If you find someone with a lot of muscle mass that's sub 10%, you'll find someone who's done a lot of lifestyle modifications to make that work. It's a bit age and individual dependent as well.
Consider looking into a keto diet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketogenic_diet). Long term it's the most successful dietary habit I know of.
