National Defense Corps incident
The National Defense Corps incident (Korean: 국민방위군 사건, Hanja: 國民防衛軍事件) was a death march that occurred in the winter of 1951 during the Korean War.
On 11 December 1950, South Korea issued an act establishing the National Defense Corps. South Korean citizens aged 17 to 40, excluding military, police and government officials, were drafted into the National Defense Corps.[1][2] The Syngman Rhee government adopted officers from Great Korean Youth Association (대한청년단; 大韓靑年團), which was a pro-Rhee Syngman group, into the Corps.[citation needed]
Immediately, 406,000 drafted citizens were deployed in 49 training units,[3] then National Defense Corps soldiers were ordered to march southward on the Korean peninsula under the Chinese offensive. However, funds for food purchases were embezzled by the National Defense Corps Commander Kim Yungun (Kim Yun-keun) (Kim Yoon-keun), son-in-law of Defence minister Shin Sung-mo.[4] Approximately 300,000 men were lost to death or desertion during the three-week, 300-mile "death march".[5] By June 1951, when an investigating committee made known its findings, it was reported that some 50,000[6] to 90,000 soldiers starved to death or died of disease on the march and in the training camps.[2][4][7][verification needed]
On 30 April 1951, the National Assembly of South Korea adopted a resolution on disbandment of the National Defense Corps.[1] The National Assembly investigation showed that the commanding officers embezzled one billion won, and tens of millions of won was misappropriated to President Rhee Syngman's political fund.[6]
In May 1951, vice-president Yi Si-yeong resigned. In June, it was reported that five billion won in funds for the National Defense Corps had been embezzled.[8] On 12 August 1951, five commanding officers were executed as persons in charge of the incident.[1][9]

Jennings led the league in blocked shots (101) and became the first player in
Sun Belt history to post two 100-block seasons. Jennings also reached double figures in
scoring in 48 of 59 career games at Arkansas State, hitting the mark in 26
of 30 games as a senior. Jennings best game as a senior came against Denver, scoring
a season high 29 points, hauling in 13 rebounds and blocking six shots.
Jennings leaves Arkansas State as the school's No. 2 all-time shot-blocker and tied for 11th in career field goal percentage (.547), tied for 11th in career scoring average (14.3), tied for tenth in career rebounding
average (6.9) and 19th in career free throw percentage (.757).
As a junior, Jennings led ASU in scoring and rebounding, at 13.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. Jennings set a new
school record with his 102 blocked shots on the season and posted ASU's first
known triple-double, when he scored 31 points, grabbed 10 rebound and blocked a
school record 11 shots against Morris Brown.
Jennings started his career at Arkansas, where he averaged 4.3 points and 2.7 rebounds as a sophomore in 1998-99. Jennings was named Arkansas' Mr. Basketball as a senior in high school.
Positives: Jennings is big and he's a scorer in the post. He's also a shot-blocker. NBA teams love big men in the draft. Jennings fits the profile of a player who should get a look, even though his low-post skills are far from polished. He didn't win the battles with Chris Marcus in the Sun Belt, but he held his own.
Negatives: Teams were turned off when Jennings declined to go to Portsmouth after originally agreeing to go to the event. Jennings could have helped his draft stock by dominating the games in Virginia. He must play in Chicago to help his stock.
Summary: Jennings is too big to be passed up in the second round -- but that's his likely destination. He'll have to play well in the summer league to stick on a roster.

The informed consumer today wants to make sure that the Garcinia Cambogia (GC) product they are buying or thinking about buying meets a number of criteria. These could include the safety of the product, its quality and whether it performs the way that it is marketed.
Of particular concern in today's society are various claims associated with weight loss products and supplements. This is due to the fact that today's society is more prone to being overweight because of a variety of reasons including:
- Increased stress levels,
- The use of laborsaving electronic devices,
- Food that is prepared relatively fast,
- And a lethargic lifestyle.
One such product available on the market today is GC. Therefore, it is important to know what it is and how it helps individual to lose weight. Additional information should also include any possible side effects, the ingredients included in its secret formula, where to purchase this product, various reviews and what is its recommended dosage.
OMG, What Is Garcinia Cambogia?
Derived from the exotic fruit, it is a fat loss supplement that has proven to be effective in helping people to achieve their weight loss goals. Initially, the extract from this fruit's rind has been used by the indigenous people from Indonesia for countless numbers of years.
This fruit, commonly described as a small pumpkin, is indigenous to regions of India and Asia. However, this particular tree and the fruit produced can be grown just about anywhere by controlling its surrounding environment.
The active ingredient within this product that helps in achieving significant fat loss is called HydroxyCitric Acid or HCA.
How Does It Help To Lose Fat
- Fat Blocker: This product has been shown to be an effective supplement for losing weight because of its ability to perform as a fat blocker. This simply means that when this product is ingested, it has the ability to create a resistance towards allowing the fat cells to be stored in the body. Subsequently, these fat cells will pass through the body via the normal digestive process.
- Appetite Suppressant: In addition to being a fat blocker, this extract works as a powerful appetite suppressant. In other words, it helps individuals to suppress their cravings for additional food. This is accomplished because of the ability to signal to the brain that your stomach is full and no additional food is needed.
- Metabolism Booster: Also, the added dynamic of this weight loss supplement is to reduce the amount of ones body fat. It does this by increasing metabolism and burning of already stored fat under your skin. This occurs due to its ability to block the use of carbohydrates that one consume and to block the further absorption of eaten fat. Consequently, ones body is forced to metabolize fat that is stored in reserve in areas like stomach, chest, hips, etc.
- Overeating Prevention: Another huge advantage of this supplement is its ability to increase serotonin levels. Serotonin is the "feel good" element that signals to the brain that all is well and makes you feel good. With increase of serotonin, the individual is less likely to go on eating binge in order to make them feel good about themselves.
The ingredients included in this extract indicates that this is an all-natural product. Therefore, there are neither artificial ones nor additives and the product is normally manufactured without the use of any additional chemicals or preservatives.
It is however, important, to read the manufacturers label to make sure that no chemical processing has taken place as there are many producers and their formulas may change significantly. Check out more on this via WebMd.com
Side Effects And Other Nasty Stuff
In regards to test subjects that were part of an experiment, there were no associated side effects discovered.
However, other customers and consumers of this product have reported some conditions when they took more than the recommended daily dosage. These included:
- Headaches,
- Diarrhea,
- Nausea.
However, again it is important to repeat, that these individuals took more than the daily recommended dosage.
It is also important to remember that there are certain conditions that may require a medical professional's recommendation whether to use this product or not. Those conditions when you should inform at yours physician about the possible use of this supplement are:
- Pregnancy,
- Breast feeding.
In addition, consumption of this product is not recommended for those who:
- Suffer from dementia,
- Have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
BTW, here is something that might really interest you: Nih.gov
Dosing, Like How Much Should I Eat of That Stuff
The recommended dosage was at a level of 500 to 1500 mg per day.
Also it is important to know that this supplement can be taken anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes before eating any meal. This allows for unlocking its full potential and for the levels of serotonin to increase.
Additionally, after having this supplement in your diet for three months, the manufacturers suggestion is that one should make a pause. This "time out" can vary anywhere from one up to two weeks before starting this whole process again.
Further studies have shown that if you take minimum suggested dosage, the effects of the extract will address mostly your need to overeat. On the other hand, the maximum doses will not only serve as an appetite suppressant but will help you to lose weight as well.
Price And Where to Buy It
Tips Before Purchase
There are a number of retailers and suppliers where you can purchase your own personal bottle of this extract. It is important, however, to research these in order to ensure that their product that is being sold is the "real deal" and is 100% natural. Also, it is important to note that at least 50% of the active ingredients contained in their product is HCA.
Additionally, it is important to check whether the product being offered to you has no added substances and is at a level of at least 400 mg per capsule. Also, it is valuable to investigate whether yours supplier has return policy, what it is and whether it is backed by a money back guarantee.
Local Shops
Some of those local retailers where an individual customer can purchase their supplement include such stores as GNC. The advertised price for this extract at the GNC is $26.99. It may also be good idea to check even other local nutritional stores to see if they have the same brand for better price. Other local retailers could include Walgreens or CVS as well.
Online Retailers
Also, Garcinia Cambogia extract can be bought online. Some of such websites include www.amazon.com and www.puritan.com. As an added bonus, sometimes there are special sales on these websites with the possibility of buying two packages for the price of one. They also provide to you various positive as well as negative reviews that were written by customers.
User Experience
There have been many scientific studies conducted on the effectiveness of this dietary product. One recent study demonstrated that this supplement has helped to achieve monthly weight loss of 10 pounds. What is more, this was 2 to 3 times greater fat loss than that of individuals who did not take this supplement.
Amazingly, there was no other change made in any of these groups not even in their dietary habits or in their patterns of exercising. Basically, the difference among these two groups of individuals was caused by the fact that one group took the product and their pounds melted off much faster.
Additionally, there were some other benefits in taking this weight loss extract. Those included the lowering of bad cholesterol and triglycerides as well as increase of the good cholesterol or the HDL and of the serotonin.

Looking for a supplier for the white Dyneema (spectra) fabric. Any ideas?

@cameronLocale: Idaho Falls
Some of us talked about buying Dyneema once. It turned out to be the wrong kind but as we were discussing it Ryan Jordan got wind of it and told us that we probably could not sew it with a normal home machine. Just saying, maybe you already know that.Sep 26, 2012 at 5:33 pm #1915924
Christopher MillsBPL Member
@hiker816Locale: Denver
If you get any leads, I would be very curious to hear about them, irrespective of any sewing difficulties.
I think I read that the manufacturer stopped producing this with the normal waterproof coating that both made it waterproof and kept the fibers from separating during sewing and use. It moved to laminating it with cuben fiber, like with the hybrid cuben fabric used by some pack manufacturers (but with woven dyneema instead of polyester or whatever they use for the hybrid stuff). I can't say I understand this move. Why laminate dyneema with mylar full of . . . more dyneema strands? If you are going to do that, why not laminate with mylar by itself? Seems easier and cheaper to just coat it.
Anyway, please let us know what you find out.Sep 26, 2012 at 6:45 pm #1915947

Dan McHale has some for sale on his website:

@michael – thanks for posting a link to dan's site. I missed the blurb on full spectra, but saw the dyneema grid. I will have to call him about the specifics of his spectra fabric.
I have my seamstress, who owns several industrial machines, that can sew the spectra fabric. She builds Packgoat panniers for me, and I wanted one set out of spectra cloth. Can't afford more than that!
Thank you for the replies!Sep 30, 2012 at 10:06 pm #1917035

Just a FYI on Luke's post about "not [being able to] sew it with a normal home machine" …
First Background: A few years ago, I did an extensive revision on my wife's Kelty White Cloud, per her "wish list" on how the pack should have been designed :-)
Sewing the Fabric – I used a regular, normal sewing machine (the 2nd cheapest Singer at Walmart) and it worked fine. I did not use the heavy duty thread, as that caused it to jam occasionally (and very annoyingly). So, I used regular gauge thread and doubled up, sometimes tripled up on sewing lines for the seams. Result: after 4 years worth of use, the seams are holding up just fine.Oct 1, 2012 at 12:07 am #1917056

> I did not use the heavy duty thread, as that caused it to jam occasionally (and very annoyingly).
Often solved by using a larger gauge needle. They have larger thread holes.
> Result: after 4 years worth of use, the seams are holding up just fine.
Hard facts! Valuable info.

Tony, thanks for reporting on your experience. Like many others, I've been cautiously interested in attempting a MYOG project with pure UHMWPE fabric, but first-hand accounts of experiences with it are hard to find.

Twisted Tea Top Gun Sprint Car action was next and Mark Ruel, Jr. would take his Xpress Graphixx #83 to the lead but had Danny Martin, Jr. and Robbie Smith behind him. On lap 9 "The Hammer" breathed and put his #82 right between the wall and Ruel. Just 1 lap later the caution flew when Shawn Cornell's #21 couldn't quite get into the pits safely. Martin led Ruel and Smith for the restart. Martin pulled away as he ran 14.5 second laps consistently. Martin took his 2nd win in flying fashion over Mark Ruel, Jr., Robbie Smith, championship leader Matt Kurtz, and AJ Maddox.
Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds made a show of it with Dalton Lanich up front. On lap 3 Tyler Clem spun on the backstretch to bring out caution #1 with Lanich leading Rich Pratt and Buzzie Reutimann. Lanich began to pull away from the pack but it went away on lap 11 when Tyler Clem spun in the same exact spot. Lanich couldn't be stopped as he beat his team-mate Garret Stewart to the punch to get Chris Williams a win at Bubba Raceway Park. Rich Pratt would put the Macaloso #78 in 2nd with Buzzie Reutimann 3rd, Gary Sexton a strong 4th, and Garret Stewart a dismal 5th.
The 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks put on a different kind of show with james Erickson up front for this one. Plenty of cautions plagued the event including an incident that involved 3 of the 4 Erickson's and Stalnaker's. The wreck cost Mike and Jeff Stalnaker the 1st and 4th spot while James and Harold Erickson went from 2nd and 3rd to 1st and 2nd, respectively. One caution, however, came out for a flip that involved Luke Sadler and Shane Nichols. Sadler hit Nichols and the 15 put Nichols' 65 into the wall and into the catch fence. Nichols and Sadler were both okay. More cautions would force Race Control to call the race after 6 laps of action leaving James Erickson the winner over his father Harold. Donnie Ashford put the Woodall Fencing #3W in 3rd over Jason Gamble and John Thorpe.
Brian Thorpe would lead early in the Rent-N-Roll Gladiator tussle before giving way to Reid Christensen on lap 9. A debris caution would slow the field just after the pass was official. The final run was intense as on the last turn of the last lap Thorpe cut his right front and Brandon Haseleu was spun from a potential 2nd by Shane Guessford. The final rundown saw Christensen beat Thrope, Guessford, David Pate, and Danny Brown. Christensen-Souther Racing had a solid night with a 1-3-5 before they go to a big race elsewhere.
Next week we take a break before our Bubba Is Thankful Weekend. After that is the NeSmith Crate Late Model Series World Finals in the tightest points battle in their series history! Racing is winding down but don't miss these season finales. For more information you can reach us on Twitter

Nordic scene shines at Mount Spokane
Sun., Dec. 16, 2012, 6:33 a.m.
The expanded cross-country trail system at Mount Spokane State Park is growing up to be one of the region's top nordic venues.
With an $80-a-season vehicle Sno-Park Pass, a car-load of skiers can access more than 40 kilometers of nordic trails being manicured by a new beast of a groomer. The snowcat made its debut on the trail system on Friday.
The Nova Hut, a popular ski-in pit stop in the middle of the sprawling trail system, has been graced with a new, larger and hotter-burning wood stove for comfort. Stacks of firewood have been cut and split, making use of some trees cut this summer to widen trails for the new groomer.
The Selkirk Lodge at the parking area for the Mount Spokane Cross-Country Ski Park has been outfitted with Wi-Fi this season and upgraded with an enclosed ski-waxing area. Most of the improvements to the trails, including the preseason trail clearing, are owed to the state park staff and the volunteer efforts of the Spokane Nordic Ski Association.
The SNSA offers a wide range of nordic skiing activities that encourages a larger membership to enjoy and support the Mount Spokane Trails. Among them:
• Adult cross-country skiing lessons for classic and skating.
• Nordic Kids skiing program for kids 5-15 years old.
• Junior Nordic Ski Team for teens.
• Skiing events, such as the Feb. 23-24 Group Health-Providence Health Care Challenge.
Spokane Nordic is planning a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the new groomer and more than 12 kilometers of new trails added to the system this season. The ceremony is set for 9 a.m., Saturday at Selkirk Lodge.
Mount Spokane nordic trails contacts include:
• Daily grooming updates, call (509) 238-4025.
• Spokane Nordic, spokanenordic- skieducationfoundation.wildapricot.org.

I got a call from a female with MidEast accent, broken English, said her name was Laura Daniels from Insta Cash and that I owed money for a loan I never paid back. I told her I had never had a loan with "Insta Cash" & asked her for a callback number because I needed to "check things out" and she gave me the number, 818-584-7330. I knew it was a scam because I got the same type call about a month ago.
I told her I could barely understand her so she put a guy on the phone with the same accent, named Alex Young. I could barely understand him & had him spell most of what he was saying. In a nutshell, he said he was a lawyer for "Insta Cash" and that I would be served with legal papers tomorrow if I didn't pay him $800 for a loan that I never paid back. I asked him for specifics about the loan, but he couldn't answer. I asked him to give me his number and the number for "Insta Cash" because I wanted to call them, then call him back. He gave me the same number for both he and "Insta Cash", except that to speak to him directly, to ask for extension 2348.
I then filed my ripoff report. Last time this happened, the call came from a different number and the caller, with the same type accent, said that he worked for the federal govt in the "Dept of Investigations" dept. and they wanted me to fax a notarized letter with my checkcard info on it, authorizing them to deduct money from my bank account or I would be arrested, etc. I told them what I thought of them, then never heard from them again. Is there anyone out there that can make this stop???

Hindu squats (bethaks) are an exercise, like Hindu pushups (dands), that have been used by Indian wrestlers for centuries to build explosive lower body strength, power, speed and endurance. They have been made famous world-wide in recent years due to Matt Furey's international best-selling Combat Conditioning as well as his advanced form of training found in the Gama Fitness course.
Unlike barbell squats and weight training exercises for the legs, which often cause severe trauma and injury to knee joints and lower backs - Hindu squats actually rehabiliate the knees while strengthening the muscles of the legs. The key is working into them slowly. Never force progress in this exercise.
Many people involved in weight training are shocked at how difficult this seeming simple looking exercise can be.
Can you get stronger doing this so-called "free hand" leg exercise while also staying away from barbell and dumbbell squats? Absolutely. Can you develop greater muscle mass with this bodyweight exercise? Again, absolutely. The Great Gama of India was 5'7" and 260 pounds of streaming steal, with thighs so heavily muscled they resemble the proverbial "tree stumps."
Legend has it that Gama of India, who never lost once in 5000 matches, did 4,000 bethaks each day. These numbers are grossly inflated - but the fact of the matter is that Gama did do this exercise daily and he was unstoppable. Combat athletes, such as wrestlers, martial artists, boxers and football players, who have adopted this exercise are experiencing similar results - and so are the "average" man and woman who simply want to get into better shape fast.
Hindu squats when done properly and combined with deep breathing, not only strengthen the entire body, but they rehabiliate the knees and ankles and build phenomenal lung power. For those who are used to barbell squats, you'll find these squats to be a vigorous workout. Even those who can squat 500 or more pounds struggle with 50-straight bethaks when they first begin.
It's essential that your form be correct on this movement, otherwise you will not reap the real benefits and may injure yourself. Be very careful whom you learn this movement from as most who claim to be teaching it are way off the mark. They don't descend low enough. Or they move too fast or too slow, without balance, rhythm and grace. Many people bounce out of the bottom. Or they use improper breathing and hand movements. All of these mistakes lead away from some of the most amazing benefits of this exercise, one of which is increased spiritual awareness and internal power.
Hindu squats can be done everyday, if you so choose. Naturally, you don't attempt to set a world record every time you do them. You may do 100 one day, 500 another day, 300 the next and so on, varying the duration and intensity of the exercise. One Furey student, Lt. Col. Robert Schutz, set a goal to do 100,000 Hindu squats in a year - and he accomplished that feat in 2005.
Many other Furey students got the news on this and set the same goal for themselves. Doing 100,000 Hindu squats in a single year amounts to doing an average of 274 per day.
What about your knees? Do high-repetition squats injure the knees?
There are some people who cannot and should not do squats, regardless of what type they are. These are people whose knees are severely banged up. Yet, the majority of people who are in good health CAN do Hindu squats and benefit immensely. High-repetition squats do not harm the knees, so long as you maintain good form and pay attention to what you're doing. Sloppily going through any exercise can lead to injuries.
Most people, it should be pointed out, don't hurt their knees, even when doing sloppy squats. It is almost always the lower back that gets injured. This truth maintain relevance whether we are talking about Hindu squats or heavy barbell squats. So always concentrate on good form. Make sure you learn proper form and do the exercise the right way all the time.
One of the other differences between Hindu squats and other free-hand bodyweight squats is that most practitioners allow their knees to go ahead of their toes on the descent. This is the way the Hindu squat is performed in India - and contrary to what some will tell you, this is a real solution to knee pain for many. In fact, many students of Combat Conditioning, including people in their 70's and 80's who had weak knees, found that the knees-over-toes position was the key to their greatly improved knee and leg strength.
When some people first begin doing Hindu squats, because of pre-existing weakness and pain in the knee joint itself, they are sometimes advised to experiment with a heels-flat variation of the Hindu squats as compared to the knees-over-toes variation, until the knee gets strong enough to handle the movement. Once the knees are much stronger, the trainee can attempt the knees-over-toes method to see if he can handle it. If not, then it is acceptable to continue doing them with your heels flat.
For those whose knees are "too far gone" for any sort of repetitive squatting motion, you may want to try your hand with the "wall chair" exercise, as shown in Combat Conditioning. The wall chair is a great lower body strengthener that is often used by skiers in need of endurance-strength.
Hindu squats can be done by both young and old. Matt Furey first taught his son, Frank, how to do them when Frank was 18 months old. He also taught him how to bridge and do Hindu pushups at that age, too. Many families do these exercises together and claim that a family that trains together, stays together.
One of the most important elements of the Hindu squat is the breathing. Unlike all other squatting exercises, the breathing is in reverse. Instead of inhaling down and exhaling up - you exhale down and inhale when coming up. Your are to think of your lungs as if they are an accordion. When does the air come out of an accordion? When it is compressed. The same is true of Hindu squats and the breathing technique. As you lower yourself to the ground, your torso, diaphragm and abdominals compress - and so, like the accordion, this is when you let the air out.
Breathing is free and open. You should be able to hear someone doing Hindu squats from across the room. The "letting go" of the breath begins at the navel center and the sound is unobstructed. This is a tough one for many people because they have absorbed negative breathing habit patterns.
Many people hold their breath when they exercise. Instead of breathing with every repetition, they forget until they do three or four reps. This is a mistake. There is a breath with EVERY repetition.
The breath should be the "focal point" during this exercise. The more you focus on the inhale and exhale, the more endurance and strength you will bring into your body. And, because your breath is closely connected with "spirt" - the better your breathing the more connected you will be.
Work into the performing of Hindu squats with caution. You are well-advised to only do a reasonable number the first time you do them. For many seasoned fitness fanatics, this is about 40 repetitions. On occasion, someone with something to prove, will force himself to do several hundred - which will result in being incredibly sore for as long as 5 days - or more. So please, do begin slowly and work up to the higher numbers with care.
When you do this exercise in conjunction with Hindu pushups and bridging, you are doing what Matt Furey calls the Royal Court. It may seem hard to believe that you can get into the best shape of your life with 3 exercises - yet it is absolutely true.
Do Hindu squats the way Matt Furey teaches and you won't go wrong. Furey says that once you've worked up to 500 straight in less than 15 minutes, you're on your way to greatness. This is certainly not the end, as Furey proved on January 1, 2000, when he did 2001 straight Hindu squats to ring in the new millenium.
In Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning program he goes into much more detail on how to do this amazing exercise.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Northern
Arizona swimming and diving turned in seven season best times and
swept the diving portion of Friday's double dual meet against
No. 2 Arizona and Oregon State at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center.
The Lumberjacks will host Idaho on Saturday, January 9 at the Wall
Aquatic Center at 11 a.m.
"It is always tough going against Pac-10 opponents," said head coach Andy Johns. "We had some girls with season bests and that is what we are looking for. We have a tough turnaround to be ready for Idaho but its good preparation for the end of the year. We are looking forward to being home."
NAU (1-6) turned in notable performances in swimming, but the diving team won on both the 1-meter and 3-meter. The Lumberjacks finished first, third and fourth on both boards. Junior Taryn Harris finished first on the 3-meter while junior Lana Christensen placed first on the 1-meter.
"Diving is showing their strength," Johns said. "We had an outright victory over Arizona in diving and a couple victories in swimming against Oregon State. There are lots of good things to take away from the meet."
The Lumberjacks dropped to 0-16 all-time against No. 2 Arizona with a final score of 216-83 on Friday. NAU fell to Oregon State 164.5-97.5 and is now 0-5 all-time against the Beavers.
The Lumberjacks will be back in the pool on Saturday, January 9 against WAC opponent Idaho. NAU holds the series advantage defeating the Vandals in its three previous meetings.

Notes On Consumer Affairs
Hearing the song "Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis may bring back warm feelings of the recklessness of youth. However, a great ball of fire engulfing a home in flames is a tragic occurrence.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that more than 4,000 people die each year in home fires, and more than 500,000 residential fires are serious enough to be reported to fire departments. More than ninety-percent of residential fire deaths and injuries result from fires in one and two family houses and apartments. Most fire victims die from inhalation of smoke and toxic gases, not as a result of burns. Most deaths and injuries occur in fires that happen at night while the victims are asleep.
The statistics are staggering. The fact that many of the fire-related tragedies may be prevented make those facts and figures that much more disturbing. Prevention can be accomplished simply by owning, testing and maintaining your smoke alarms and practicing a fire escape plan.
The CPSC recommends installing a working smoke alarm on every level of the home, outside sleeping areas, and inside bedrooms. You should test your smoke alarms at least once a month and replace the batteries at least annually, such as when resetting clocks in the fall or spring. When battery power is low, your smoke alarm may emit a low-power warning in the form of a chirping sound. You should immediately replace the battery to insure that the smoke alarm will provide you with continued protection.
Smoke alarms are designed to detect fires as soon as possible, and certain sensors contained in smoke alarms may be more effective at sensing different types of fires. There are two basic types of sensors currently available: ionization and photoelectric. The ionization smoke alarm is generally more effective against fast-flaming fires that consume materials rapidly and spread quickly. Examples of a fast-flaming fire are paper fires in wastebaskets and grease fires from the kitchen. Photoelectric smoke alarms are more effective against slow smoldering fires such as fires caused by a cigarette burning in a couch or bedding. You can also purchase smoke detectors that incorporate both types of sensor technology, thereby eliminating the need to purchase both types of smoke detectors. The chance of surviving a fire doubles when there are working smoke alarms in the home. Carefully read all instructions regarding proper placement and testing of your particular smoke alarms. For more information, call the Consumer Product Safety Commission's toll-free hotline, 1-800-638-2772 or visit its website at http:// www. cpsc.gov.

We had previously booked a tour of the Opera House at 5:00 p.m. so we didn't have too much time to just ponder and dream there.
Our tour guide took us into the Drama Theatre where Mel Gibson was discovered. And as a teenager, Nicole Kidman sold programs just outside the threatre. For a few minutes we watched a ballet dancer rehearse one of his numbers in the Opera Theatre and the orchestra was doing last minute preparations for that evening's performance in the Orchestra Theatre where the Sydney Symphany Orchestra as well as well known stars perform.. The tour guide gave a very passionate and informative history of the Opera House and, immediately following the tour, we went to the box office to see if we could get tickets for that evening's performance, The Pig Iron People. The attendant was really helpful and suggested we come back at 7:00 p.m. to get "rush seats" which were one-third the cost. We sat three rows from the front centre stage! The play was very humourous with a touch of seriousness. The acting was superb.
Yesterday (Thursday) we walked over to Darling Harbour where we visited the Australian Maritime Museum where we were fortunate to be given a personal tour (no one else showed up) and then toured the Endeavour which is a replica of Captain Cooke's ship. It is permanently stationed in the harbour with the exception of when they are touring the world once a year.
We met up with Ruth and Ed Baxter and their nephew, Aaron, for a delicious dinner at a restraurant right on Darling Harbour. The evening was quite warm (about 25 degrees C). It was great to see Ruth and Ed after 6 weeks and also to meet Aaron.
After dinner Garry and I along with Ruth and Ed took our final glimpse of the harbour at night. It is so magical we had a hard time leaving it.
Right now we are in Air New Zealand's Lounge at Sydney Airport awaiting our long journey home. It is 12:10 p.m. on Friday (Australian time). Our time of arrival in Toronto is approximately 5:30 p.m. tonight (Friday). Our flight has been delayed one and one-half hours.
Looking forward to seeing most of you soon.

To set up extra users you will need to visit a branch with valid ID and your bank card.
All about your Absa Online PIN
A personal identification number (PIN) is an important number that you choose when registering for Absa Online. You will need to enter it every time you log on.
For your own security your Absa Online can be different from your normal bank card PIN that you use to draw money at an ATM. It can be between four or five digits and we recommend you change it regularly.
- If, however, you have forgotten or had your PIN revoked you will need to visit a branch with a valid ID and your bank card. For your security this is the only way to reset your PIN
- To avoid having your information being captured by key-loggers, enter the characters of your PIN with the on-screen virtual keypad, as opposed to typing them out using a keyboard
- You have three chances to enter your PIN. If you are unsuccessful on the last attempt Absa Online will lock you out
- If you would like to change your current Absa Online PIN you can do so under your Profile as long as it is still valid
All you need to know about passwords
Absa Online passwords are the second step in the logon process. You will be asked to enter part of your password every time you logon. Remember that you will never be asked to enter your whole password. We only require you enter three characters at a time.
You have three chances to enter your password. If you are unsuccessful on the last attempt Absa Online will lock you out.
To avoid having your information being captured by key-loggers, enter the characters of your password with the on-screen virtual keypad, as opposed to typing them out using a keyboard.
How do you change your password?
- If you are brand new to Absa Online and have just returned from the branch where your online limits were set, you will be requested to capture a new password
- If you would like to change your current password and it is still valid you will be able to change it online
- If, however, you have forgotten or had your password revoked you will need to visit a branch with a valid ID and your bank card. For your security this is the only way to reset your password
What is the difference between a main user and an operator?
The main user is the owner of the profile on Absa Online. The main user has full control and access to all the functions and accounts linked to the profile.
An operator is any person assigned by the main user to perform only certain tasks on the main user's behalf.
All you need to know about SMS security notifications
When you logon and perform certain transactions using Absa Online you will receive a security notification SMS from us. These SMSs will be sent to the cellphone number that we have registered for your bank account.
This is a standard service and as soon you register and begin using Absa Online you will start receiving these security notification SMSs. Our security notification SMS service ensures that you are aware of certain administrative electronic activity (such as logging on and transferring funds) that takes place on your Absa Online profile. The service is part of your monthly registration fees and no separate charges apply.
For your convenience you can also sign up to receive SMS notifications for transactional activities. To keep up-to-date and informed sign up or review your NotifyMe SMS service.
When will you receive a security notification SMS?
- When you log on to Absa Online
- When you add a new beneficiary or update a beneficiary's details (SureCheck)
- When you make a once-off payment, a payment needs to be authorised or a payment is rejected
- When your profile is updated, or your PIN or password is changed
How do you update your cellphone number?
For security reasons, you will need to visit your nearest branch with a valid ID to update the cellphone number to which security notification SMS messages are sent.
You can update and change your NotifyMe details, by logging on to Absa Online.
All you need to know about SureCheck.
In addition to SMS security notifications you will also receive SureCheck security alerts. A pop up will appear on your mobile phone, which you must check carefully before accepting or declining the transaction. The SureCheck message will be sent to the mobile phone number you registered. If you previously received RVN or TVN SMS messages your service was automatically upgraded to utilise the SureCheck service.
When will you receive a SureCheck?
When you:
- Just before you make the payment
- Create a new beneficiary
- Set up a recurring payment
- Add a new operator
- Change your notification details
- Update your daily limits
How do you change your SureCheck options?
For extra security you can only change your SureCheck security option at a branch. Be sure to bring a valid form of identification and your bank card.
What is an authorisation?
An authorisation is the process where the main user approves financial transactions created by another main user or operator.
What is an account limit?
For your security and peace of mind, you can set limits on the amount of money that can be transferred between your accounts and paid out. These limits are daily limits and can be changed under your Absa Online Profile. Find out more about limits on Absa Online Payments.
How do you logoff?
- If you have logged on but there is no activity on your account for a period of six minutes, you will be automatically logged off
- During the last minute Absa Online will give you a warning and begin counting you down by informing you of how many seconds you have until you are logged off. You have the option to cancel the countdown and resume your online banking
- You can choose to log yourself off at any time by selecting the Log Out link in the top right hand corner. This will close your online banking session

Rebecca Martin is a single mother with an apartment to rent and a sense that she has used up her illusions. But when her new tenant turns out to be Michael Christopher, on the lam after twenty years in a monastery and smack dab in the middle of a dark night of the soul, Rebecca begins to suspect that she is not as thoroughly disillusioned as she'd thought.
Included in the Americana 4 & 5 Series.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Tim Farrington's The Monk Downstairs follows the beguiling romance between a jaded San Francisco graphic designer and a monk who flips burgers at McDonald's. Rebecca Martin is a 38-year-old single mom who has lost her faith in men; Mike is a disillusioned monk who's lost his faith in God. The two meet just after Mike leaves his monastery of 20 years and rents the downstairs apartment of Rebecca's house. The last thing Rebecca wants is another romantic entanglement, especially since she has the emotional well-being of her 6-year-old daughter, Mary Martha, to consider. (A charming character in her own right, Mary Martha also happens to be "an infallible detector of bullshit.") And the last thing Mike wants is to agitate his already troubled soul. But after a few backyard cigarettes together at twilight and a few melted barriers, a tentative love story is underway.
Although Farrington's plot revolves around a classic story of unlikely lovers, there's no sappiness or clichés in his highly polished narrative. Indeed, his vulnerable characters and realistic dialogue will feel especially poignant for grown-up lovers. When the big night arrives and the couple must decide whether Mike will sleep over, Rebecca speaks for all single mothers.
"This is not just about us anymore," she said. "If that freaks you out, then please, please bail now. Because if you are going to stay here tonight, you're going to have to have breakfast with my daughter. You're going to have to be a decent human being. You're going to have to be a man."
In Mike we see what it means to bring spiritual strength to a relationship. When Rebecca suddenly becomes sharp and anxious, he does not retreat, nor does he paw at her for reassurance. Instead he knows how to sit with her, as if in meditation, staying present while not getting caught up in her fear. And in Rebecca we see what it means to speak honestly to a lover. This all may sound too lofty and preachy to be a juicy read, but Farrington has the quirky characters and the masterful skills to make this a highly entertaining and inspiring tale of adult love. --Gail HudsonAbout the Author:
Tim Farrington is the author of Lizzie's War, The Monk Downstairs,—a New York Times Notable Book—and The Monk Upstairs, as well as the critically acclaimed novels The California Book of the Dead and Blues for Hannah.

This is Your Dose of Feel-Good
Holy crap, take a break for a second and Detroit starts exploding. First, call it just a winner of a celebration: THE MARCHE DU NAIN ROUGE. Seriously folks, this parade, dress-up day, party and see your friends kind of Sunday was really something else. Highly reccomend this one for next year. A lot of people came out and started the day at 3rd bar adorned in everything from priest's garb to snowman outfits. The parade assembled and proceeded through the Cass Corridor as everyone chased the little red dwarf right on out of town and sent him away in a burning mess of flames that concluded the party in Cass Park. Everyone went to Temple Bar after and had a few drinks. The weather was beautiful, the sun shining. Simple. It was a good day.
The good news is still coming! Over the weekend, filming began for the second round of documentary shorts. So the films will keep coming in the same vein as The Farmer and the Philosopher. No details can really be hardened up for now as to when things will be ready and released, but at this point, it's all adhering to a pretty aggressive timeline.
Finally, don't forget about "State of the City" this week (and the Model D Speaker Series that will include a forum discussion after the address). Bing will deliver his speech on a forward vision for the city. The pieces are coming together. Toni Griffin, renowned city planner, has been commissioned by the Kresge Foundation to bring her team to Detroit and start to put the pieces together. Toni has experience working with a very similar city to Detroit that has been talked about here: Newark, NJ. The same town that has a documentary series about them on the Sundance Channel about how the city is actually turning on a dime and see much success. So, now, is Detroit next for Ms. Griffin and her team? Hear more on Tuesday when Bing starts talking shop on something of a plan.

This photo was taken at Disneyland Paris and I thought it was very apt to share this photo since we are heading to the very place this photo was taken tomorrow morning.
That's right - tomorrow we're off to Disneyland Paris!
I am so excited. Husband is so excited. The kids are beyond excited!
This photo was taken about 14 years ago when my Dad took my two sisters and I to Disneyland. It was really for my youngest (half) sister, who was 4 at the time, as she had never been before. My Sister and I were lucky enough that year to go to Disneyland Paris and Disneyworld Florida.
My favourite part of Disneyland is the shows. I love watching the live shows and the parade. I also love meeting the characters, especially the Princesses. I like to see how close they manage to get the actors and actresses to the characters from the films. I'm hoping to meet Rapunzel and Merida!
Husband and the kids have never been to Disneyland and I can't wait to see their faces when we arrive at the park. Miss C is most looking forward to going on the teacups and the flying Dumbo ride. Wee Z can't wait to go on the Star Wars ride and the Runaway Train. Husband can't wait to go on the Indiana Jones ride.
When we went 14 years ago, we had an amazing time. I'm sure we'll have an amazing time when we go too.

moving right along...
When the tile started to go up I had some trepidations because it was such an unconventional choice for a contemporary kitchen. But, surprise!! We love it. The picture doesn't do it justice.
We are getting there.

Kristen Stewart In Not Mood For The Press In Argentina [PHOTOS]
Kristen Stewart has been trying to keep a low profile since photos of Kristen and Robert Pattinson kissing surfaced and then the battle at after leaving LAX last week. Needless to say, Kristen Stewart wasn't too happy being captured the paparazzi this time either.
This time she was battling with the paps at the Bs.As. International Airport on her way out of Argentina. She spent a couple of days in Patagonia working on a film.

text: I am going on the exact same cruise (not quilting part) 2 weeks earlier in August along with my DD and DGD. I was shocked at the additional cost to add the quilting part. Nearly triple of what we are paying. Usually the quilting only takes place during the days at sea which are only 2 on this trip. There is a fun quilt shop in Skagway called The Rushin Tailor. We went on the same itinerary 5 years ago and visited the shop. There is also a big store I think called Alaska Shirt Co. Great place to buy souviniers. Better price than the ship!

How to Apply
So environmental resources engineering sounds interesting, but you are still not sure if HSU is right for you? Explore what HSU has to offer to both freshman and transfer students.
Beginning with Fall 2014, the ERE major will be reduced by 10 units—from 130 units to 120 units. The courses, comprising 9 of the 10 units, that you will no longer be required to take are the following:
1. COMM 100 – the technical communications included in courses within the ERE major will count towards COMM 100.
2. An Area D lower division course that is not one of the Institutions requirements (HIST110 or HIST 111 and PSCI 110 or PSCI 210)
This means that your two Institutions requirement courses (US History and US & California government) meet all of the lower division Area D units an ERE major needs to take.
3. PHYX 315 – PHYX 315 is no longer required, but it can be used to satisfy your upper division science elective requirement. PHYX 315 will remain as a prerequisite course for ENGR 475 – Renewable Energy Power Systems.
The final unit in the 10-unit reduction is modification of ENGR 313-Systems Analysis from a 4-unit to a 3-unit course. The new version of ENGR 313 will be taught with two lectures per week and one lab session, similar to most other ERE courses.
Although these changes become effective officially for students who enter HSU in Fall 2014 or later, the two changes related to ERE major requirements (the PHYX 315 and ENGR 313 changes) have been approved for all ERE students, even if you entered HSU prior to Fall 2014. However, your GE requirements are determined by your individual Catalog Year, generally the year you entered HSU. You should plan to complete the GE requirements in effect during your entry year, or discuss options for changing your Catalog Year with your ERE advisor.

The forces of truth, justice and morality once again triumphed in the war against dirty filthy mouthed opponents of all we hold dear in this nation founded on Judaic-Christian principles. Mayor Bloomberg ordered police units to invade OWS tents in Zucotti park, arrest over 130 people, and tear down tents. Along the way they seized tons of equipment and property that belonged to those who had been camping out for social justice. Reporters and photographers were barred from observing this military operation because there was fear enemies of the United States might obtain pictures that would be damaging to our national interests.
I have no problem with New York City police invading Wall Street. Of course, it might be more interesting if they invaded headquarters of Wall Street firms which have robbed Americans of their life savings. It would be more interesting if they seized tons of documents which would reveal how those with power manipulate the system to make more money. But, of course, these words would more likely fit as part of a fairy tale how the good fairy beat the bad monsters lurking in a park and made New York City once again a clean and beautiful city.

Hi there!
How's everyone doing? I usually don't do the introduction-thing on too many forums, but as I've trolled this one for some time I thought it would be the friendly thing to do :)
I'm in UPstate NY, just moved into my 2nd house which is mostly in good shape. But, I've got a big shed out back with a flat, leaky roof (that's under a tarp for the winter), and I have a feeling I'll be getting some advice on it once spring time rolls around.
Looking forward to joining in where I can!
Welcome to the site.
Welcome to the club!:thumbsup:
Hah, indeed it would be... I was using the non-internet definition, I suppose :)
Welcome.. Hopefully you'll find some good advice on that roof issue.:)
Welcom to the site

Pat Shingleton: "Bee-Ware..."
For the last 8 years, beekeepers have noted vast depletions in their colonies. WBRZ's Brittany Weiss covered the local angle on this story as researchers verified reasons for the reduction. Honeybees pollinate crops and are as fundamental to food production as water or sunlight. The unusual evidence includes piled and layered dead bees under hives. Living bees cannot fly and appear to be stunned and incapacitated. Additional research at Purdue University suggests honeybees are victims of an insecticide dispensed on corn kernels to prevent seeds from sticking together when planted. Toxic material on a single kernel of corn can kill hundreds of thousands of honeybees. Brittany noted that misuse of pesticides is retarding bee production.

GOP relents, House passes debt ceiling hike
WASHINGTON (AP) — Unwilling to spook the markets and divided among themselves, House Republicans backed away from a battle about the government's debt limit Tuesday and permitted President Barack Obama's Democratic allies to drive quick passage of a measure extending Treasury's borrowing authority without any concessions from the White House.
The 221-201 vote came hours after Speaker John Boehner announced his fractured party would relent.
Just 28 Republicans voted for the measure, including Boehner and his top lieutenants. But 193 Democrats more than compensated for the low support among Republicans.
Senate Democrats hoped to vote on the legislation as early as today and send it to Obama for his signature.
