"The Hushabye Shell Afghan is a beautiful blanket that would be a great shower gift. The pattern is an easy shell stitch and the colts are great for a boy or girl. I am sure that it will keep baby nice and warm. It is made with a nice four ply yarn and should work up fast. This one to save for a later date."
"The wavy rainbow baby blanket is one of the cutest that I have seen. The colors are so bright that a baby will enjoy looking at it. The blanket could also be worked up in other colors that would be great for that special little one. this is not for a beginner, so if this is your first try at crocheting you may not want to try it. Looking forward to working on this."
"The Springtime Lace Afghan Pattern is so cute. It will make a great baby blanket for that special baby. This could be made in many different colors that will really be pretty. The pattern reads really easy and a beginner could do this.I am looking forward to to this project in the very near future."
"he Cape Cod Afghan is really a cute pattern. It would be a great one for beginners. The pattern only calls for two skeins of yarn. The pattern reads really easy. This could also be used as a baby blanket and would look great in one of those baby colors. This is one pattern that I will definitely save for a later project down the road."

This Tee Shirt Beaded Necklace is a great way to reuse an old tee shirt. Add a little string of pearls to turn this necklace from drab to fab! The great thing about this tee shirt craft is that you can wear it day or night, and it's a great way to dress up or down any outfit. Mix and match tee shirts to create a multi-colored tee shirt necklace that's unlike anything on the market today.
- An old tee shirt
- Scissors
- Pearls
First lay your tee shirt out flat. Starting at the bottom, cut strips about 1 inch wide. It doesn't have to be perfect, just eyeball it.
Once your strips have been cut (I stopped cutting as soon as I got to the sleeves), gently stretch them out one by one.
You could use a scrap piece of tee shirt material or a heavy duty piece of thread to thread the pearls. I used some left over tee shirt material that I stretched until it was super thin. I used a knitting needle to thread the pearls onto the fabric thread.
- Depending on the size of the tee shirt, you should be able to wrap the strips around your neck twice. That's what I did and then I tied the string of pearls to the doubled up strips of tee shirt fabric.

This is a great idea although the old t shirt may not look so presentable.

These instructions seem incomplete to me. How are the strips fastened together? What am I missing?

JAPANESE scientists displayed yesterday the oldest samples of ice yet retrieved, which promise to reveal invaluable data about the Earth's climate a million years ago.
The ice "cores" were removed over the course of two years by scientists at the Dome Fuji base, in the eastern Antarctic, who drilled down 3km (2 miles) into the ancient ice.
They believe that tiny air bubbles trapped in it will provide information about the Earth's atmosphere in the distant past and enable them to draw conclusions about climate change and its potential course in the future.

hi everyoneI'm a swiss citizen living in Austin. So far I've been working with my swiss clientele (I'm a photographer), but it's getting too stressful this constant back and forth, so I'm considering getting a job as an employee in Austin. I'm good in languages, got a social work degree and one in commerce and I have some experience in the field of tourism. Main issue: so far I don't have a work permit. That's why I'm thinking about swiss companies. Any ideas where to start looking? Thanks for any help!Sabine

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: SUPERVALU
So What: The grocery company reported a hairy quarterly net loss and plunging sales last week, and also lowered its earnings guidance for 2011. This company's much-needed turnaround is going nowhere fast, and there's no news today to give investors a more bullish outlook.
Now What: Investors should steer clear of SUPERVALU. It competes with scores of formidable rivals including Safeway

City Revokes Plan to Remove Memorial Ghost Bikes
Yesterday, we reported that the Sanitation Department had proposed a removal of the approximately 67 "ghost bikes" scattered through the city in memorial to those who've died in cycling accidents. However, according to the Daily News, the city has had a change of heart after an outcry from friends and families who have suffered this loss.
The original plan would have stickered the ghost bikes with a 30-day removal grace period in September. After that, the bikes would be removed and destroyed by the city no matter their condition.
The new plan is a little more reasonable. The Sanitation Department told the Daily News, "A memorial bicycle (ghost rider) will only be removed ... if the memorial bicycle meets the derelict bicycle criteria. That means if the memorial bike is in bad shape -- missing tires, handlebars, or pedals -- it still may be clipped from its post."
Lizi Rahman, whose son was killed in a cycling accident on Queens Boulevard, told the Daily News, "All day, I have been thinking, they are taking a part of my son's memory from me," she said.

This was not the first time that ghost bikes have come under attack. According to Ghostbikes.org, city officials threatened to remove Andre Anderson's memorial in Far Rockaway, but did not follow through when family and community members rallied to maintain it.
"Ghost bikes can last a long time if there is community and family support for them," the website says.
Ghost bikes are not only meant to memorialize victims of cycling accidents -- Ghostbikes.org and StreetMemorials.org both want to raise safety awareness in all the people who share the street and to urge the city to improve and follow through with street safe policies. According to Ghostbikes.org, there were 24 cyclist deaths in 2005, 18 in 2006, 25 in 2007, 26 in 2008, and 12 in 2009.
Currently, there are no rules for discarding bikes locked on the street indefinitely, and there will still be a public hearing on the subject on July 20 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at 125 Worth Street, Room 819. If passed, bikes that fall under the derelict criteria will be stickered and removed come September.

From the moment we walked in we were made to feel very welcome. The service was generally quick and always polite.

The restaurant has a Nice atmosphere and very affordable prices. The paella was excellent (we tried both regular and Black) and for 3 people, 2 paellas was more than enough. The service wasnt the Best, but a very good and relaxed experience
We booked a table for 9pm on New Year's Eve. When we arrived it was chaos: at least 30 other people were also waiting to be seated: all with reservations and no tables available: the manager had no system so the pushiest people and people who seemed known to the manager forced their way to the front. We all stood...
Lunch for two families. Lunch stop on way to Park Guell. Love the ambience of the interiors, cozy and warm. Boys liked their lamb and pork chops. I enjoyed the onion soup and seafood paella. Friends thought the black and rabbit paella was more fragrant. Goes down well with a bottle of red wine. Youngest Daughter had a pasta child's...
Authentic place, cosy and crowded, better reserve up front or be seated in the front room. Good range of wines and food, everyone will find something of their likes.

This park has a dog run, space for roller blading, skateboarding and other recreational pursuits, as well as public bathrooms and a jungle gym. Food is also available in this free WiFi park. Union Square Park is host to many activities in warmer months. On a nice day in Manhattan, what more could a park-lover ask for?
Come down to the Union Square and you may bank on the opportunity of visiting a studio that has witnessed some of the most remarkable moments of motion pictures. Originally founded in early 1900's, this studio was revamped in 2006 and in a joint venture between the well known Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner. With decades of experience put behind, this studio today boasts of a list of movies that are nothing short of legendary. Right from 'When the clouds roll by' to 'Lions for Lambs', United artist has managed to churn out movie masterpieces. Surely a nostalgic trip for all the hardcore movie buffs.
The Century Building, built in 1880, was the headquarters of the Century Publishing Company that got famous for publishing popular magazines for adults and children like The Century Magazine and the St. Nicholas Magazine. The well-built Century Building is a commercial space that features splendid balconies, turrets and small windows. In 1995, Barnes & Noble retail bookstore moved in to this building. Designated as a New York City Landmark in 1993, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It also won the 1996 Preservation Award for Restoration by the Municipal Art Society.
Emma Goldman, the rebel and an anarchist lived in New York after migrating from Lithuania. She played a very important part in the political anarchist movement that began during the period of 1903-1913. A small plaque outside her home commemorates her. She was an outspoken woman and a renowned lecturer. Emma was charged with attempt to murder and spent time in jail.
Theodore Roosevelt has the distinction of being the only president born in New York City. His brownstone residence near Gramercy Park has been restored to reflect his early life from 1858 to 1862. The house was demolished in 1916, but rebuilt later with the help of Roosevelt's sisters. Almost half the furnishings in the museum come from the original structure. The National Park Service oversees the administration of the site, and there is a 40-minute tour every hour on the hour and a gallery.
18 West 11th Street is the place where the Weathermen Townhouse Explosion took place. It is famous for the Brownstones, buildings that have been made with pride and great workmanship. Three blocks from Washington Square Park, the buildings have had many writers, singers, artists etc. as its residents including the Weathermen, who resided in Building No. 18. They had been making bombs, which led to an explosion on 6th March 1970. Three of the party members died, two were injured and a few escaped. None of the guilty could be persecuted.
Remodeled in the Victorian Gothic style by Calvert Vaux and opened in 1898, the National Arts Club supports American artists and has several galleries open to the public. Its members have included many famous painters, sculptors, musicians and writers, and the adjacent building houses studios. The building is a National Historic landmark and the art collection is intense, going beyond the hanging works to the actual workmanship in the glass and ceiling fixtures. The second floor bar is breathtaking and offers an incredible view of the famous Gramercy Park.
In 1836, the great-great grandson of the famous Peter Stuyvesant sold four-acres of his family's land to the city of New York for five dollars. Along with Gramercy Park, it is surrounded by one of Manhattan's most elite, yet quaint neighborhoods. The park is bisected by 2nd Avenue and though it has been in existence since the mid-19th Century, the famed landscape architect Robert Moses redesigned the park we see today in the 1930's. A few of the highlights include the original cast-iron fence created in 1847 (the second oldest in the city, after the one at Bowling Green), two fountains from 1884 and a statue of the magnificent composer, Antonin Dvořák.

Money & Career
20 ways to get in shape for free
Money & Career
20 ways to get in shape for free
Here are 20 ideas for free or almost free fitness, to get you moving and keep you saving. Share your own tips in the comments.
1. Walk to your local library and check out fitness videos and DVDs. It's free and a great way to try out different fitness practices -- from a killer workout to gentle restorative yoga -- to see what clicks and keep things interesting.
2. Work out with YouTube. We can't vouch for the quality or expertise -- remember, sites such as YouTube are pretty much anything goes -- so be careful. But there are countless exercise videos to be watched and practised with for free. Get started with this stretching routine from Canadian Living fitness expert Pam Mazzuca Prebeg.
3. While you're at the computer, take a look at some free fitness sites, such as freetrainers.com or fitocracy.com, for advice and support with reaching your goals.
4. Check with your municipality. Many offer free or deeply discounted classes or leagues to join or have pools available for community use. In summer, why not take up the habit of swimming a few laps at your local outdoor pool? Swimming is a brilliant way to cool down, work out and relax. Sleep is deep after a good swim.
5. What about your workplace? Is there a team you could sign up for? Many companies offer softball, curling, volleyball and other team sports to join for free.
Page 1 of 3 -- read about cycling, running and free fitness classes on page 2
6. If you live in any major city, we bet you've noticed the folks slowly, gracefully going through their tai chi moves in the park. Chances are, you're welcome to join in. Check with the Tai Chi Society in your area to inquire about membership fees, which vary by region and are discounted for students, seniors and other groups in need.
7. Did you know that Lululemon stores offer free yoga classes and running groups? Visit their store finder (lululemon.com/stores) for details on what's available near you.
8. Canvas your friends: Do any of them live in a building with a gym or fitness room? Can you get in on a guest pass?
9. Keep your eyes peeled for notices of free yoga classes offered as good karma initiatives around your neighbourhood. These folks don't often have money to advertise, so look for signs posted on notice boards or telephone poles and in cafes and shops.
10. Does your local humane society, SPCA or municipal dog pound need volunteer dog walkers? Think about it: If you walked even two rambunctious pooches every day -- well, you'd be doing so very much, for you and for them.
11. Can you decide to walk to or from -- or to and from -- work every day, or at least three times a week? Not only is this free, it will save you either parking and gas or transit fares. If you want to speed things up and get the most of this workout, wear your sneakers and put your stuff in a backpack, so you don't hurt your neck, back or shoulders with an uneven purse or satchel.
12. Do you own a bike? How about dusting it off and taking it out for a spin? More and more folks are trading in four wheels for two and using a bicycle for errands, commuting and joy rides, too. But if you're not comfortable riding in the busy city streets, we hear you. So check into your area's bike trails.
Page 2 of 3 -- Read on for walking clubs, used fitness equipment and golfing on the cheap
13. Pick up a great deal on some used equipment through Craigslist or Kijiji or by visiting thrift shops. Places like Value Village are often brimming over with free weights, skates and badminton rackets and yes, you can even find the odd ThighMaster. Also, it's a great place to pick up a workout video or DVD for next to nothing.
14. Take advantage of gym or yoga studio promotions. We've all found those flyers and coupons in our mailbox or inbox, the ones that offer one free month or 30 yoga classes free. Go ahead. They're offering; you should accept. Just be sure to read the fine print before you sign anything.
15. Barter. Some gyms or yoga studios are willing to trade chores and cleaning for free classes or gym time. Talk to the owner or manager -- perhaps there's something you're good at that they could use. Do you cook or bake? Paint? Are you a massage therapist? Hairdresser? Photographer? Caterer? Put your thinking cap on -- you never know.
16. Take up hobbies that require physical activity, such as bird watching, gardening or volunteering at a food bank or community gardening program.
17. Think golf looks like fun but costs a small fortune? Well, many municipal golf courses don't require memberships, nor do they cost an arm and a leg. Do a web search or visit golf-courses.ca to search in your area for free or lower-cost courses.
18. Most cities and towns across Canada have free drop-in tennis courts. Sure, you may have to wait a while, but it's a great way to meet people, make new friends and find folks to play with. Don't want to invest in a fancy, space age, titanium racket? Once again, visit the thrift shops: used rackets are everywhere and inexpensive. Or ask around -- it's likely you've got a friend or two with an unused racket in the basement.
19. Does your employer have a deal for deep discounts with a fitness centre or gym in the building? Talk to your Human Resources department to find out.
20. Many running stores, such as the Running Room, offer free running and walking groups so you can meet like-minded people for exercise, whether it's recreational or for training. Call your local store or running group to see what's available.
We've gotten quite a workout just listing the possibilities, and we're sure you'll be able to find a way to keep fit -- physically and financially.

John Casablancas Modeling - John Casablancas IS a scam!!!
- Hermitage, Tennessee
- Feb 05, 2010
- 10264 views
- 180 comments
well I had been thinking about getting into acting or modeling. I sent out my picture to a few of the local talent agencies. The very next day I recieved an email from john casablancas. The email said they were currently looking for new models or potential actors and that I should contact them immediately. The very same day they called my cell phone. I dont know how they got my number, but I was excited that an agency had interest in me so quickly. They said they wanted me to come the very next day for an audition. I was so excited I couldnt refuse. It seemed like just the opportunity I was looking for.
So the next day I got all nervous thinking it was going to be a bigtime audition. When I got in there nobody was at the desk. Then finally this trashy looking lady came up to the desk and didnt even acknowledge me. She picked up the phone and totally ignored me. I was expecting for them to be waiting on me to get there. Then finally she hung up the phone and told me to sign in. Apparantly I wasnt the only one auditioning. I filled out a couple forms and she gave me a 5 sentance script that I was supposed to practice. I said "thats it?! seems really short?". At the top of the page it said "for ages 12+". I am 25 years old. So I waited for fifteen minutes and in the meantime about 20 people showed up for the audition. Most of them were little kids and their parents. So since I was first to get there I was first in line to go through the "audition". So first they lead me over to a "photo room" which was basically nothing but an empty room with a backdrop and a table in it. A "professional photographer" was going to take a few shots of me. I was suprised when she pulled out the camera and didnt even use a tripod. She then told me to get into a very odd pose and took 4 pictures. They looked like something I could have done at home.
Next quickly I was rushed to the second room. In this room was a cheap wooden runway and they were playing cheap britney spears music in the background. I sat there and practiced my script with all the other people until the "agent" came in. She was accompanied by two other young sleezy looking girls that were supposedly a professional movie director, a runway model, and a *** black guy that was supposedly a model also but his face looked like rocky road. So at this point I was suspicious, but the thought of my dreams coming true were too strong to have any doubt about anything. So they told me to first walk the runway, which I did. Then they had me read the script, which I did an amazing job at. So everyone else did the same thing and after everybody was done, she said that there would be people who wouldnt be called back. She said that they would need me to come back the very next day to discuss starting a modeling career. I was so excited.
So the very next day I went back and they still hardly even knew my name. The "agent" took me in her office and was very nice talking to me. She started talking about all the possibilities I could have, everything I could become, and how much money i was going to make. I got so excited that they were interested in "investing in me". But then she started talking about I would need to take classes before they could start marketing me and making money. I then found out that this would be a 10 month process and the course would end up costing $2200. She said that if I wanted to get started in my career that I would need to go and get $340 out of my bank account to get the registration and pay for books/supplies. I told her I just didnt have all that money. Then she said I could just pay $100 to get the registration done, and I could pay the other $240 on the day of the first class. Foolishly I agreed and paid her $100 cash. I didnt like the idea of paying her, but I though it would eventually pay off in the long run if I could find some good modeling jobs. My parents told me they were scamming me, but I couldnt accept that possibility.
After thinking about it I got online and did a search. I didnt even get the whole name typed in before "john casablancas scam" popped up in the search field. So I clicked on it and my dreams suddenly fell through the roof. I saw about a hundred scam stories. I immediately felt cheated and realized that everything my parents had said was true. I couldnt feel any stupider in my whole life. So today I went right up there and as soon as I walked in the office the "agent" said "let me guess you changed your mind?". She already knew what I was there for like she had already seen it a million times. I told her I wanted to cancel the contract. She said I would have to make it in writing so I took a piece of paper and wrote it down. She said that they had already took my money and made in into a cashiers check paying john casablancas. So then I would have to wait up to 45 days before I would recieve a refund from the corporate office. I asked her why because I had just given her the money not even 24 hours ago. She said it was because they dont keep any cash in the office at any time. She told me that I "completely wasted her time yesterday", and seemed like she wanted to argue with me or something about it. I dont even know this lady, I just wanted to cancel it and get out. So she made a copy of the cancellation letter and gave it to me, then said "goodbye". I never felt so cheated and violated in my whole life. Im just glad I got out before I gave them any more money, and that I cancelled the contract within the unusually short 3 day period so they cant keep my money. As long as the money comes in ill be fine, but if it doesnt come within 45 days im going to file a lawsuit. I dont care if it is just $100 dollars. A REAL modeling agency sent me an email yesterday and wants to speak with me soon. I did a full background check on them. So that makes me feel better. I will become something one day. JOHN CASABLANCAS IS A COMPLETE SCAM!!!! DO NOT EVER SPEND ONE SINGLE DIME THERE!!!!!! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE JOHN CASABLANCA!!!!

Hello! Ok, so I am currently going to John Casablancas. I just started the other day. Lance my director told me I did wonderful on my runway and commercial. He is working on currently getting me in to do a commercial on actual television. I also work for them. They have me working as a sponsor so I can pay for my classes that way. I love this place. They have me placed in the plus size ladies. They have working hard with me and I really appreciate it. Please do not bash them. They are not scams! I am represented by Model Talent Management of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thank you!0 2 Reply

sweetheart I am in the Casablanca program and I am doing pretty well these little scam stories are lies. I am graduating in febuary and I will be in the agency and going on auditions. so u shouldn't have listened to your parents or the internet because they are lying.

I am starting out in the entertainment industry. If you go to an audition and they talk about money and say you have to pay all this then it's a scam. I have an amazing agent. The first thing agents do is see your talent. Make sure you are serious and responsible with your time life and money. No agent with ask you to pay money upfront. Agents get money from you only when you get jobs. If an agent is going to even take interest in you then you won't be needing classes. Before going to an agent to become an actress or model you will have already needed to be trained and know what your doing. Agents won't come to you like that. You go to them. Or if they see you in a film then they would come to you.5 0 Reply

Who is your agent??? I feel that if you have the talent, YOU don't have to pay!! Simple as that - I took my daughter to the Cincinnati location and felt the scam as soon as we sat down, and then when we got home, I started doing my homework - yes, she has a "second audition" that we aren't bothering with -0 0 Reply

Nina Nina, who is lying to whom? I think you are an employee of this trashy place and are trying to defuse all the bad press you are getting with this lame attempt at building up this place. I too, went to a school like this for broadcasting. And, I graduated! I am still after 17 years, looking for a job in the industry and lost nearly $7,000 to them. So don't try and say this school is not preying on people who want to make it big in your industry? Why are there so many flags against Casablancas with the BBB? And, so you know what that is Nina, that stands for the Better Business Bureau. There are so many flags there against your school! Who is lying to whom? I say that more outweigh the few in this case. So take that *** your shovelin' and fertilize my lawn with it! You can say you are graduating. That is part of these elaborate schemes to defraud. A scam looks more credible to those it is being aimed at when words like; success, graduation, and career placement are all included in the interview process. All I can say to all of you is BUYER BEWARE!2 0 Reply

Steps to resolve conflict
Steps to resolve conflict
Even our best relationships with partners, friends and family are suceptible to fights or other conflict. Although arguements (and the following solutions) are essential to strengthening our closest relationships, it's important to note that when conflict arises, we should try to make things right.
Before your next argument turns into a brick wall you can't break down, our experts suggest taking these steps to resolve conflict – sooner, rather than later.
Photo gallery: 8 ways to fight fair and resolve conflict
Arguments are a given in any relationship. It's how you take steps to resolve conflict that counts.
Before reacting, take a minute to reflect and gather your thoughts. If you feel yourself boiling over, step away. Take a walk or a run and process your thoughts before agreeing to talk them over with your friend.
How to get good marriage counselling
Learn how finding the right counsellor can help ease the rising conflict in your relationship.

Steps to resolve conflict with a friend
Are you ready to forgive and forget? Here's how to get a friendship back on track.
Maintaining friendships takes hard work and just like romantic relationships, they sometimes fail.

If you're thinking about making amends with an ex-friend, here are a few tips.
7 tips for handling arguments in front of your child

The best TB rhizomes I have ever seen were growing in a black soil derived
from the muck of a drained bog in central Ohio! The soil had been heavily
amended with limestone to adjust the pH. I think that like all plants, TBs
do well in soils of a moderately balanced fertility, which is what you get
when you use organic matter. Another excellent soi for TBs appears to be
sandy loam derived from river flooding.
Adding organic matter to clay gives it a better texture and indeed improves
the drainage. Paradoxically, organic matter also improves sandy soil, but
for the opposite reason--it gives it "body" that helps it hold water.
However, the drainage--in the sense that the spaces between particles are
not filled with water--is still good. Each little bit of OM acts like a
tiny sponge, holding water and releasing it slowly to plant roots.
I'm not sure why most bulbous irises don't like OM in the soil but it
probably has to do with what they adapted to in their native environments
(generally pretty lean pickings). Is Alan McMurtrie on this list?
Perhaps Sharon will jump in and give us her experience with arils and OM.
Best wishes, Bill

Dropped Object Awareness and Prevention Applying DROPS approach to preventing dropped object incidents In the Singapore construction industry Leong Weng Fei M.Sc, B.Eng(Hons), CMIOSH, ACMA Asia Pacific HSE Director, Baker Hughes Inc. DROPS Asia Chairman
Working to make our industry a safer place
DROPS Asia Objectives To raise awareness of potential dropped objects To explore methods for the control and prevention of dropped objects To recognise your personal responsibilities for the prevention of dropped objects Eliminate injury to people and damage sustained to equipment due to dropped objects throughout Industry. Ultimately to deliver a second-nature dropped objects prevention strategy
Dropped Object Awareness and Prevention WHAT IS A DROPPED OBJECT? Any object that falls from its previous static position under its own weight
Dropped Object Awareness and Prevention HOW BAD IS THE PROBLEM? Dropped Objects are among the Top 10 causes of Fatality and Serious Injury in the Oil and Gas Industry AT WORK : The top three causes of fatal accidents are… falls from height…being struck by moving vehicles…and being struck by falling objects AT HOME AND AT LEISURE : (RoSPA)
Its Still Happening…Real Incidents NIOSH 2003 – 2006 Fatalities among US Oil and Gas Workers
Its Still Happening…Real Incidents
DROPS Worldwide Over 70 companies all sharing commitment and enthusiasm for dropped object prevention. Distil and identify key learnings and deliver these to industry effectively as awareness, best practice, recommendations, lessons, tools and techniques. Basic remit to consider and review all avenues available for improving the industrys dropped object prevention performance.
This is what we all aim to prevent! Happened in 2006, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia Corporate figured killed when 2 tonne (3m X 3m) formwork fell on his vehicle Raised many questions about standards, compliance, enforcement, culture in the industry that could have led to this incident.
Even small objects can kill!!!
DROPS Approach to Preventing Dropped Object Incidents Awareness and appreciation of DROPS Inspection and Surveys Control Measures: –Static and dynamic dropped object risk DROPS systems / procedures Enforcement and industry self regulation
Awareness and Appreciation of DROPS Poor awareness and appreciation on DROPS in construction industry Controls and regulations do cover DROPS but awareness and appreciation of criticality of DROPS is missing Approach in the oil and gas industry: –All DROPS incident are considered hi-po incidents –Massive awareness blitz on DROPS in the industry through: Posters Training Videos – sample language free video on Tools at Height to be shown at the end Campaigns etc. Sustained DROPS specific awareness and appreciation campaign in Singapore is needed
Awareness and Appreciation of DROPS
Survey and Inspection Survey and inspection key to preventing dropped object risk Dropped Object Survey Criteria (ensures consistency in surveys) –Inspection Areas –The Survey What to look out for Required survey tasks –Deliverables Dropped Objects Survey Report Failed Item List Dropped Objects Inspection Book
Survey and Inspection Survey tasks: –Document equipment location by Inspection Area –Photograph each item surveyed –Include unique identification number to each item (tag numbers) –Describe each item surveyed –Inspect and document Primary Securing method(s) –Inspect and document Secondary Retention method(s) –Record equipment condition as Pass or Fail, including comments (ie Satisfactory or Reason for Failure) –Record inspection frequency (ie weekly, monthly) as recorded in the Equipment Family Inspection Criteria –Generate a Failed Items List
Survey and Inspection
ItemFamilyFrequencyPossible Fastening methodHow to inspect 1 Active heave cylinder hydraulic control lines, support wires Valve block, flex hoses & accumulator bottle 180 days Hydraulic control lines pipe clamped together and secured to Active Heave Compensator with bolted flanges. Other control lines beam clamped to gin pole structure with turnbuckles and 4 part shackles Accumulator bottle pipe and support wires clamped to framework & beam clamped to gin pole structure. Valve block secured with bolted flanges. Check beam clamps and bolts are secure and for any signs of corrosion, check all bolted connections and hoses are in good condition. Check support wires, turnbuckles and shackles, ensure shackles are fitted with split pins. 2Cable trays, Cable conduit pipe runs & cable clamps 180 daysCable trays with beam clamps to derrick structure. Cables secured with stainless steel tie wraps. Other cables fed through pipe work which is beam clamped to derrick & gin pole structure. Check cable tray/conduit runs are secure, ensure all brackets are tight and check for signs of corrosion. AREA 1 : Derrick/Mast and Traveling Equipment Derrick Equipment Zone 1 (A-Frame / Crown / Water Table) Example Equipment Family Inspection Criteria
Survey and Inspection Survey and inspection for construction industry: –Recommendation to conduct survey/inspection on a routine basis Eg. survey should be done upon installation of tower crane, formwork, scaffold etc. which have drop potential –Initial survey helps to produce inventory of equipment used at height –Initial survey output can be basis for determining frequency for subsequent surveys/inspection –Maintenance of critical equipment can also be determined through survey and inspection output –Essential to have inspectors/surveyors to have sufficient knowledge and experience in DROPS for survey/inspections to be effective
Control Measures : Static and Dynamic Dropped Objects Static and Dynamic Dropped Objects –Dropped Object Management System (DOMS) effective in reducing frequency of static dropped object incidents STATIC DROPPED OBJECTS Preventive Controls Preventive Maintenance Tasks (ref DROPS Campaign Workpack) Calendar-based Dropped Objects Inspections (ref DROPS Campaign Workpack) Primary Securing Devices (ref DROPS Reliable Securing Booklet) Independent Dropped Object Surveys (ref DROPS Campaign Workpack) Dropped Object Inspection (Picture) Books (ref DROPS Campaign Workpack) Mitigating Measures Secondary Retention (ref DROPS Reliable Securing Booklet) Effective Use of Barriers (ref DROPS Campaign Workpack) Restricted Access Areas (ref DROPS Guidelines for Restricted Access Areas)
Static and Dynamic Dropped Object DYNAMIC DROPPED OBJECTS Preventive Controls Individual Awareness Effective Task Planning (incl Lift Plans) Collision Checklists Pre-task Assessment and Checks (ref DROPS Prompt Card) Observation and Vigilance (ref DROPS Training and Hazard Hunts) Management of Change Time Out For Safety (TOFS) Management of Distractions Tools Aloft Log Book (ref DROPS Guidelines for Tools at Height) Subcontractor Equipment Inspections Mitigating Measures Individual Awareness Use of Approved Tools for Working at Height (ref DROPS Guidelines for Tools at Height)) PA Announcements / Warnings (eg overhead operations, crane operations, work in derrick, etc) Effective Use of Barriers (ref DROPS Campaign Workpack) Restricted Access Areas (ref DROPS Guidelines for Restricted Access Areas) Behavioral factors more dominant in controlling dynamic dropped objects
Managing Static Dropped Objects Examples of static dropped objects in a work site: –Scaffold and its parts –Formwork –Tower crane etc. Compared to offshore environment, risk of static dropped object in construction worksite is lower but less precautions are taken What is done in the oil and gas industry: –Secondary retention system on objects placed at height –Designing equipment at height with consideration for DROPS –Minimizing need to place objects at height –Pre-commissioning/installation inspection –Periodic inspection through use of picture book
Managing Static Dropped Objects Managing static dropped object in construction industry: –Ensuring objects at height come with primary and secondary retention devices –Inventory of parts that has potential to drop –Produce picture book and use that as a mean to inspect after installation and periodic inspection –Use of equipment that has lower DROPS risk eg. clamp free scaffolds, bolts and nuts with locknut/pin –Commisioning/post installation checklist that includes DROPS check items –Zoning/Baricading of danger/high risk zone
Managing Static Dropped Objects Primary and Secondary Retention Nuts, bolts, screws Clamps, Brackets Turnbuckles Welding PRIMARY SECURING DEVICES Wire slings Encasement Lock Nuts Lock Wire SECONDARY RETENTION Split pins, roll pins, spring clips Lock Washers, tab washers Clamp and safety chains
Managing Static Dropped Objects Secondary Retention
Managing Dynamic Dropped Object Risk Example of dynamic dropped objects: –Hand tools –Material on crane etc. What is done in the oil and gas industry: –Work at height tools –Red zones / No-go zones –Trained and competent lifting personnel –PTW for lifting operation Managing dynamic dropped object in construction industry: –Promote use of work at height tools –Use concept of zoning –Improve competency and DROPS awareness of lifting personnel
Managing Dynamic Dropped Object Risk
DROPS System and Procedures Management system approach towards DROPS in oil and gas industry Commitment of operators and contractors towards DROPS DROPS focal person in every rig is appointed. Similar concept can be done for all worksites DROPS survey is done before a rig is commissioned. Results of survey compiled in the form of picture book and used for routine inspection of high risk equipment. –Similar initiative can be done for erection of tower cranes, formwork, scaffolds etc. Zoning system used in oil and gas industry Managing contractors – ensuring that equipment used by contractors are also controlled against dropped object risk
DROPS Guidance: Restricted Access Areas (Red Zones)
Green Zone: where the layout and activities of the area present little likelihood of personnel being exposed to potential dropped objects under normal circumstances. Yellow Zone: where the layout and activities of the area do present some risk of personnel being exposed to potential dropped objects under normal circumstances. Red Zone: where the layout and activities of the area present significant risk of personnel being exposed to potential dropped objects under normal circumstances.
DROPS Guidance: Restricted Access Areas (Red Zones) Green Zones- anyone may enter as long as no additional barriers are in place. Yellow Zones- only personnel with specific tasks in that zone may enter. All others require the Area Authoritys permission to enter or work in that zone. Red Zones- personnel may be more exposed to falling objects, the movement of remotely operated equipment, high pressure, and/or other hazards as determined by risk assessment. Personnel in Red Zone must be required for the current operation and must be authorized by the Area Authority. Area Authority must ensure an appropriate plan is in place for specific operations in a Red or Yellow Zone
DROPS Guidance: Restricted Access Areas (Red Zones) Every effort should be made to identify and define an access route to the Area Authoritys common workplace location within the Green Zone to allow personnel access to Area Authority to request authorization into the Yellow and Red Zones. Personnel not required for current operations must not be permitted into Yellow or Red Zones. For any activities that require entry to a Red Zone, and for non-routine activities within a Yellow Zone, a documented risk assessment must be performed before permission is given.
DROPS Guidance: Restricted Access Areas (Red Zones) Access to Red or Yellow Zones must be controlled at all times. All access points should be identified and equipped with a physical barrier marking the point at which personnel cannot proceed without approval from the Area Authority. The physical barrier may be a chain, gate, door etc. (Emergency egress must not be impeded.) The barrier shall always be in place at all access points leading directly to Yellow and Red Zones, and at any other access points determined by the Area Authority. The physical barrier should also include a sign (in both English and the predominant local language) that communicates the zone is a hazardous area and access requires the Area Authoritys authorization
Enforcement & Industry Self Regulation Dropped object incidents dropped considerably when the UK HSE focused extensively on offshore safety Key to use 2-pronged approach to promote DROPS (Enforcement & Self regulation)

text: Personal effects of Obamacare My 20 year old daughter just texted me. She goes to college locally and works part time at the large grocery store by me (union job) for about 20+ hours a week. She works in numerous positions there as does my 23 year old daughter. During the summer, the girls work more hours - my oldest had 42 hours last week but this week has to be less because of the union requirements that if she works full time, they have to pay for health insurance. So anyway, I get a text from my 20 year old that said that she's no longer allowed to work more than 30 hours a week thanks to Obamacare. She's already covered under our insurance but there's no getting around it. She now has to find a second job - when her job can give her plenty of hours and she knows the job well. It may be good for her because I told her to start working at a place that would be beneficial for her major (audiology) so that she starts getting experience. Unfortunately, this also affects my oldest who is looking for a teaching job but they are very hard to get right now and she was hoping to max out at Stop and Shop for now until she found something. It's absolutely ridiculous. 30 hours is full time?? In what universe??????? At church, in order to save costs, we only have insurance for certain people who really need it. In most cases, wives are covered under their spouse or kids are covered under their parents - but we've had to cut the number of employees we have to under 50 just because of this whole thing. We've employed a number of teens during the summer in janitorial positions or other things where they can earn money for summer events - but now we can't do that anymore because it will push us over the 50 employees which would now put us under Obamacare. SO frustrating.

Year of the Linux desktop? Who cares!Submitted by stmok on Sunday 4th of February 2007 06:33:27 PM Filed under
Remember all those articles around the web that claim "This year might be the year for the Linux desktop" ? Honestly, should we really care? Shouldn't we let the user decide from themselves? Aren't they the final decider in all this?
PCLinuxOS, Distros, and 10 reasons to try PCLinuxOS.Submitted by gfranken on Friday 26th of January 2007 12:12:09 AM Filed under
I wonder if there is a survey that has information on how many different distros a typical Linux user has used over that last 5 years? Of course, I mean more than just an install trial where you experiment with a distro for a few days, then wipe or replace that distro.
For me, that number is a fairly conservative two. And one of those two distros is the (grown up) child of another.

Low-end machine, lightweight applications and some other stuffSubmitted by toshiba on Sunday 14th of January 2007 09:31:15 AM
I had an old Toshiba PII 266 Mhz (I think), 4 GB HD, 32 Mb RAM preinstalled with windows 95 lying around, and I thought it with be fun to mess around with it a bit. Given the low specs of my toshiba box, I figured I needed to use either a distro with a text based installer or a distro with a very lightweight window manager, such as fluxbox.

I've found myself conflicted over Novell's recent pact with the devil as much as or perhaps moreso than many others have said. openSUSE has sorta been my pet project to follow since they announced they were opening up SuSE to the community. But now that they've taken this controversial step and are even including M$ code, what are open source supporters to do?

"Touchdown !!!" Top 5 Page for this destination Isna Things to Do Tip by kenmerk
Isna Things to Do: 33 reviews and 46 photos
These guys are good !!! The guys on the boats roll their scarves and stuff up in the shape of an American football, and one by one throw them up to the top deck to let the passengers take a look. (the top deck is probably 4 stories high....) I watched this for almost an hour, and every toss was right on the money...
If only the Cleveland Browns could sign one of these guys to a multi-year deal, I do believe that the quarterback controvery there would be put to rest....

So I determined that the reason I could never get the tau cannon to work was because given the decompiled product, it would have NEVER worked!
In what was probably a good 24 hours of work or more, I've...\
- Reanimated the tau cannon so that it's functional.
- Reanimated all of the wheels so that they friggin' spin right.
- Fixed all of the attachments. (No more hard left turn at stage change.)
- Used a more tedious but technically superior method of doing the fake axle.
- Adjusted the center of mass so that there is a tiny chance in hell of the truck rolling (as opposed to none).
So VOAT10 and quit complaining. If there's a problem, it's probably you. You cannot possibly tell me that the driving segment can't be completed, now.
And don't forget to watch my series on driving the truck since some people are so fucking bad at driving in HL2, they need all the help they can get. Yes, these videos are the old version, but it's still relevant information as the handling of the truck hasn't changed.
This will now be my template for all buggy replacement compiles in the future, so look forward to seeing more of these. I'll redo all of my previous cars as well as do some new ones. As much work as goes into these things, I doubt I'll be doing any more packs.
No you can't include this in your mod or anything else. Don't even bother asking me how I did this because I'm taking this shit to my fucking grave.
Sounds here.

By Gary Levin, USA TODAY
Enjoy last week's CSI and Grey's Anatomy?
We hope you did, because none are left. The 10-week-old writers' strike has finally emptied the cupboards of most top sitcoms and dramas.
Apart from Fox, which ushered in American Idol on Tuesday, other networks are expected to become the "biggest losers" in coming weeks with a steadier diet of repeats and reality and the end of prime-time football.
Amid the replacements, a few shows are shaping up as solid hits, including Fox's Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, which drew 18.4 million viewers Sunday — the biggest series premiere in two years — and NBC's reality remake American Gladiators.
Already, the result in part to weaker competition, some reality shows have outperformed the scripted series they have replaced. ABC's Wife Swap returned last Wednesday leading Pushing Daisies' recent average among young-adult viewers. Gladiators has done far better than Chuck in two Monday outings, where Deal or No Deal this week did better than Heroes has all season.
"I don't think people look at it as reality vs. scripted; they look at it as a TV show," says CBS program planning chief Kelly Kahl. "If it's appealing, they'll watch it."
Kahl says the performance is a sign that the writers' strike won't cripple the networks. "When you can do better than the shows you're replacing at a fraction of the cost, it's going to drive you to do more. And as time goes by, writers can end up losing slots for scripted shows."
In the hopper: CBS' America's Top Dog, a competition among pets and their owners, and Secret Talents of the Stars; and NBC's Top Gear, about "super-cars, extreme stunts and challenges, time trials and road tests." None figure to make up for a CSI or Grey's, which not only gain huge audiences but also command higher ad rates per viewer.
"New reality shows are not doing better than scripted hits," says Magna Global USA analyst Steve Sternberg, who says NBC is hurt less by the strike "because they have lower-rated shows to begin with." (Still, the four major networks are in a dead heat among young-adult viewers.)
ABC will suffer from the loss of its top shows but has Lost (due Jan. 31) and Dancing With the Stars (March). And CBS is more easily able to rely on repeats because its dramas aren't serialized, but only up to a point.

Scottish Fashion Awards 2013
Here all the winners
Scotland's top fashion, design, creative and textile talent were honoured last week at Dover House, home of the Scotland Office in London. Not only big names amongst the winners - Christopher Kane has been named 'Scottish Designer of the Year' and Chanel International Designer of the Year for Best Use of Scottish Fabric - but also emerging designers.
Jennifer Morris was crowned 'Scottish Young Designer or the Year' for her luxury ready-to-wear label. Jennifer studied Fashion Design at Edinburgh College of Art before receiving her MA in Fashion Design and Technology from London College of Fashion. Her brands unique selling point lies in its bold use of colour and texture to create original garments of high quality craftsmanship.
Edinburgh born Lauren Smith won the 'Scottish Graduate of the Year' award and Finlay & Co, a new British eyewear brand launched in 2012 by Aberdeen born David Lochhead, was awarded the 'Scottish Accessory Designer of the Year' for their handmade wooden sunglasses.
'Scottish Textile Designer of the Year' was awarded to Alice Palmer who completed her Knitted Textiles degree at Glasgow School of Art, followed by a Masters degree at London's Royal College of Art. Having established her brand in 2008, her knitwear garments have become known for pushing the boundaries with her unconventional design and production techniques.
Tessa Hartmann, Chairman of the awards, commented "The Scottish Fashion Awards are now a globally recognised event which acknowledges the finest fashion design, creative and textile talents we have in Scotland and indeed working around the world. It's incredible to think how much the event has grown in just 8 years and we're very proud to celebrate the achievements of all the nominees in this magnificent building - Dover House."

Carina Organics Sweet Pea Daily Moisturizing Shampoo
A good overall organic, natural ingredient shampoo. Has a very light, natural scent (read: no synthetic fragrances) which is great for those like me with severe scent sensitivities. The all natural, organic formula has been great for avoiding allergic reactions that conventional name brands cause. It is free of SLS, dyes, parabens, silicone and soy and is vegan (if that's what you are looking for), cruelty free and biodegradable (which is good news for those of use on septic systems).
I do find that it makes my hair tangle a fair bit, but I have curly hair and have to use conditioner regardless to get rid of tangles. Combined with the Carina Organics Sweet Pea Daily Light Conditioner the tangles are gone no problem.
An 12 oz bottle costs around $12, which is pretty good compared to some other organic shampoos.

Blizzard has done it again! The Torrent 90 LED Moving Head Spot is the world's first 90W LED moving head fixture under $2,000! LOADED with features like dual gobo wheels, rotating prism and iris, easy to use thanks to its large LCD control panel and built to last, Blizzard Lighting's Torrent 90 is whisper quiet and significantly smaller, lighter and brighter than the competition.
The Torrent 90 LED Moving Head Spot boasts output greater than a typical 575W discharge fixture! Innovation is everywhere in the Torrent 90, including exceptional optics which provide a nearly completely flat, even beam with less than 10% output variation edge-to-edge.
Thanks to dramatically decreased weight and high-quality stepper motors, the fixture is nearly silent when moving, with an astounding 55dB at 3' sound rating. Even the casing is a work of art, molded with a unique rubberized exterior which resists scratching and cracking. Two sets of built in quick-release mounting points make rigging a breeze and the included DMX and safety cables are an added bonus! The Torrent 90 is now also equipped with industry standard powerCON compatible power input/output connections.
Finally, Blizzard's commitment to bringing you more for less means you get a truly professional fixture at a sensible price. Powered by a state-of-the-art 90-watt Luminus CBM-360 Light Engine, the Torrent 90 is built to impress. With impeccable build quality and every feature you could ask for, your creativity is the only limitation!

Software slut and the dynamic fringe dwellers
For the most part however this milieu of applications run a banal gamut from dull to derivative. Most software releases are sadly, at best, subtle shifts and, at worst, gratuitous bloating.
Further, whilst every category of software has its dominant brand names (often labeled with that great title of irrelevant, pointless absurdity - 'industry standard') it is, in my experience, almost never these dominant names that present the most forward thinking or adventurous technological shifts or approaches. In fact quite the opposite...
