Roof Structure
1 Attachment(s)
My home is new to me and located in Mass. We had a tough winter and this corner of the roof collected a fair amount of ice. I did my best to keep it to a minimum during the winter. I didn't notice any damage after the thaw but as it's heated up here, it appears there is now some separation between the wood structure and the roof. I'm not well versed in roofing and not even sure if this is a roofing issue or a carpentry issue. I'm attaching a picture for reference. Any thoughts?
I cant tell what im looking at, perhaps a daytime photo would be more help. My eyes arnt that great lol. it looks like the fascia board or siding is separating. from the wall and thats a carpentry problem, perhaps cause by the ice / snow building up. a few nails should do the trick along with some caulking.
Its an easy fix from what i can tell. mind you that image is a blurr to me.
If you post another photo that would be great, otherwise i may just be talking out of my rear right now.

First Look: Venus and Braves PSP
PlayStation 2 strategy classic being revived on the PSP. First look, courtesy of Dengeki Online.
Coinciding with a debut in this week's Dengeki PlayStation, Dengeki Online has delivered a huge look at the PSP port/remake of Venus & Braves. How huge? Try four screenshot-packed pages!
Venus & Braves was originally released by then Namco on the PlayStation 2 in 2003. A pseudo sequel to the RPG "Seven," the game made use of the strategic "Rotation Battle System" which had players position units on a 4 by 3 block grid. Once units were positioned, battles took place automatically, with the player choosing to cycle the rows from front to back at each turn.
According to the Dengeki report, the PSP version will have new elements. What those elements are isn't particular clear, though, as the Dengeki story is mostly a general recap of the game's story, characters and basic gameplay systems.
The site does list one new feature: characters from the Tales series will appear in the game. Screenshots at the site and in the print Dengeki show Tales of Symphonia's Colette, Tales of Vesperia's Yuri and Tales of Destiny's Lion.
Fully titled, just like its PlayStation 2 counterpart, Venus & Braves: Majo to Megami to Horobi no Yogen (notably, the game does not have "Portable" in the title), the PSP version will see release on January 20, priced ¥5,229.

TURNER, Maine (AP) — An autopsy is scheduled on the body of a 16-year-old Turner boy killed last weekend in a hit-and-run.
Investigators say they hope the autopsy scheduled for Tuesday can shed light on what happened to Xavier Fuentes.
Meanwhile, police continue to look for the vehicle that struck him as he walked along Route 117 in Paris on Saturday night.
Police tell the Portland Press Herald, that Xavier was facing oncoming traffic, as pedestrians are supposed to do, but he was wearing dark clothes and might have been hard to see. There is also not much room on the unlit rural road because of guard rails and snowbanks.
Police think the teen was struck by a vehicle large enough for a snowplow, although it did not necessarily have a plow.

KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Faisal Sabzwari on Thursday said his party's workers were being targeted and killed, adding that conditions may deteriorate if the killings did not stop.
The MQM leader made the above remarks on the floor of the Sindh Assembly where he is his party's parliamentary leader.
Later on, speaking to media representatives, Sabzwari said MQM's vote bank had been sabotaged in order to engineer results in certain constituencies during the May 11 polls, adding that his party had filed cases against rigging in election tribunals.
Sabzwari said MQM was now awaiting justice on part of election authorities and alleged that a number of polling stations in Karachi were being manned by armed men on May 11.
The MQM leader added that his party had provided all details pertaining to rigging to the Election Commission of Pakistan.
Sabzwari further said that a conspiracy had been hatched to damage MQM's vote bank and that his party would approach all legal avenues for redress.
The statements came hours after MQM decided to sit on opposition benches in the Sindh and national assemblies and a day after a unit chief of the party was gunned down in Karachi.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Sunday that his government should pull out of a World Bank-affiliated arbitration body and won't recognize its decisions.
Exxon Mobil Corp. is one of more than a dozen companies with arbitration cases against Venezuela pending before the World Bank-affiliated International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, or ICSID.
Chavez announced his decision while referring to a more than $900 million award that Exxon Mobil recently won in another arbitration case before the International Chamber of Commerce.
"Now they're threatening us in the ICSID," Chavez said. "We have to get out of that ICSID. And I'll go ahead and say it: We won't recognize any of ICSID's decisions."

OS X for the Masses
By Charles Haddad
After spending hours prowling the stalls at the 2001 Macworld trade show in New York, I now see the light -- a bright aqua one, in fact. And it glows bright with the future of OS X. Apple's newest operating system is ready for the average Mac user -- almost. I'd still wait until September to jump operating systems.
That's when Apple is scheduled to release 10.1, its first major upgrade to OS X. From what I saw at Macworld, this is really the first version ready for the Mac masses. It's fast, smooth, and stable. Applications launch quickly and windows scroll and resize in real time. This version supports most printers, drives, scanners, and Internet protocols.
It's clear that OS X isn't the only thing that has evolved, however. Apple has, too. It used to be that talking to the company, whether you were a user or a developer, was like trying to converse with a brick wall. No more, at least as far as OS X is concerned. The change began in March, when Apple floated a trial version of its new operating system. More than 50,000 users sent back complaints and suggestions. And -- surprise, surprise -- Apple listened.
Users told Apple that they liked the idea of OS X's new dock feature, an icon command strip at the bottom of the screen, but complained it was too static. So in 10.1, Apple freed the dock from its bottom perch, letting users move it elsewhere on the screen. The company also added icons to the upper right-hand corner of the top menu bar so that users can easily change settings, such as battery usage and monitor resolution. None of these changes are huge, but they add up to a lot. The trademark of any great operating system is scores of small conveniences that make it easy and pleasant to use. OS X could open a can of beer and most users would quickly ditch it if the new system were as difficult to operate as Windows.
Apple is only part of the equation that will add up to success for OS X. Software also is a big factor. Right now, OS X runs most of today's software in a special window, or shell, that works as an operating system within an operating system. It's a heck of an engineering trick -- but one that's lost on average users. Sadly, what most users notice is that the shell takes forever to launch and some programs don't work as they used to.
Thank goodness, this will be a fleeting problem. Come fall, many of the big developers will have released versions of their software that will run "native" in OS X. Among those scheduled to release OS X versions of popular programs include Microsoft, Intuit, Adobe, Blizzard, Quark, and Connectix. Office will not only sport OS X's brilliant new color scheme but will no longer take down your whole system, as it is wont to do, when it crashes. And you'll truly be able to print a Word file while you change numbers in an Excel spreadsheet and download music off the Internet. This is the power that OS X offers.
It's great that the big boys of software are upgrading their programs, but none are adding any exciting new features yet with OS X. As one Microsoft programmer said to me: "What we're releasing is just a starting point, the base line from which we will improve."
That's understandable, I guess, given Microsoft's huge library of existing code. How do you add new OS X features without screwing up everything else? It's no small challenge. Still, the big developers' slowness to innovate doesn't address one of the Macs' more enduring problems: a dwindling stream of exciting new software.
Take heart. OS X has sparked the biggest revival in Mac development I've seen since the Apple's brush with death in the mid '90s. It's sparking new interest in the Mac platform. For instance, developers who write for Unix, the industrial strength operating system that runs most corporate and university computers, are now flocking to the Mac. That's no surprise, given that OS X is a Unix-based system with a very pretty face. Unix developers have announced plans to port more than 1,000 programs over to OS X.
NeXt BIG THING.
Apple's new operating system also is giving new purpose to NeXt developers, who are versed in the Cocoa framework of OS X. They've cranking out scores of interesting new programs for the Mac. Take Mesa, a spreadsheet that's a cross between AppleWorks and Excel. It's got 80% of Excel's powers but is far easier to use and understand. Then there's Omnigroup's Web browser, which lets you create and edit pages in real time without having to load them first to a server after every change.
It's these little developers with big ideas who are going to keep the Mac a cutting-edge platform. They represent the real promise of OS X and help account for the aqua glow in my eyes.

|st: combining pweights and aweights
|Tue, 4 Oct 2005 10:53:27 -0700
folks -- i have a sample of students who have pweights (inverse of the probability of selection into the sample). my outcome variable is a test score, and for each student, i have an estimate of the person-specific standard error of their test score, the inverse square of which is an analytic weight (it represents the inverse of the error variance of the test score). my question is, how should i combine these weights in a regression model? my (intuitive) thought is to multiply them, and then to tell Stata that the resulting product is an aweight -- can anyone let me if that intuition makes sense, or if there is a more appropriate approach? specifically, if i have the variables sprob (sampling selection probability) setest (standard error of test score) test (outcome test score) then would this be appropriate: g pwt=1/sprob g ewt=1/setest^2 g combwt=pwt*ewt reg test varlist [aw=combwt] thanks for any help, advice. best, sean. _____________________________ sean f. reardon associate professor of education and (by courtesy) sociology school of education 485 lasuen mall, #315 stanford university stanford, ca 94305-3096 650.736.8517 (office phone) 650.725.7412 (office fax) firstname.lastname@example.com _____________________________ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

The Vaults Guardian was a giant Fire Crab placed in one of the vaults of Gringotts Wizarding Bank to guard the spellbook for the Fire-Making Spell contained within. Gaining access to the vault required a special key made of five different coloured gemstones.
Behind the scenes
- In the GBA version of the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter had to defeat this creature to learn the Fire-Making Spell and clear the cobwebs blocking the entrance to his vault.

An inmate collect call is a phone call through which the inmates can place a call at the calling party's
expense which is billable at their home telephone number. To be specific, when an inmate calls their friends or
family, the expense is bear by the party that is receiving the call (in this case, the friends or family of an
The cost of collect calls from inmates is same as that of a paid call.
However, the only difference here is that the recipient (one who receives the call) is charged for the call,
not the inmate. Common observation is that inmate collect calls cannot be placed on a cell phone number or on
a telephone number that does not have a contract with the inmate calling service provider. Apart from that the
commercial numbers, hospital numbers or business phone numbers are normally restricted or blocked for placing
a collect call.
This means that the recipient needs to have subscribed with a particular inmate calling service provider. This can
be done by getting a local number from your inmate telephone service provider and opening up a prepaid account.
However, one solution to this problem is that there are various inmate calling service providers that allow
receiving collect calls on the above mentioned numbers or facilities. All you need o do is sign up for a prepaid
account and you are ready to receive collect calls. PCS (public communication services) and many other firms allow
their customers to open up a prepaid account through which they can start receiving collect calls on their cell
phone numbers as well. It is only when the called party has established a prepaid account with the service
provider, the inmates would be able to call cell phone and other blocked numbers.
Other than that, you can get access to cheap inmate calls through
their various packages. One of such packages is to make unlimited inmate calls monthly for just 20 $. There
are of course, various other alternatives available for example, cheapjailcalls.com provides you with an
inmate calling plan which requires you to make calls for one month for just 17.99 $. One drawback in this case
is that, it does not allow the customers to make unlimited inmate calls on a monthly basis unlike other
Similarly, the other inmate calling plans and packages include a 6-month plan and a 12-month plan as well.
There are inmate calling cards as well which allow customers to make cheap calls in order to stay in constant
touch with their family and friends who are residing far away from them. Prepaid inmate calling or phone cards can
cost you around 10$ at minimum. I think that getting a prepaid calling card can be an expensive choice. You should
rather consider various inmate calling plans that so many service providers are offering. The reason for choosing
plans/packages is that, you can make calls on a monthly, quarterly or even yearly basis to your loved ones and that
too, at a very low cost. It would cost you less as compared to purchasing a prepaid inmate calling card.
Inmate collect calls allow you to collect calls from inmates in prison through the use of various calling plans
and packages. It is the best solution to bring the families together.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Description: Whether you want to implement your site with an off-the-shelf Content Management System, build one yourself, or are just completely confused on which option to choose, advice given here. Sometimes even good advice.
"What is the best CMS?" questions. Vague and general questions asking "what is the best CMS?" will be locked (no replies allowed) or deleted. Why?
1. Because the question is inherently unanswerable, like asking "What is the best food?" Try to reformulate your question in a way that makes it answerable by citing specific requirements that are not obviously met by major CMS covered in the Best CMS meta thread: [webmasterworld.com...]
2.Because a large number of such questions are from people who are trying to sell their CMS or their services related to another CMS.
One-word posts and similar garbage If someone asks "Which is better, Joomla or Wordpress" and your answer is "Wordpress", we'll just delete those posts without notice. They aren't helpful to anyone. If you don't have a rationale for your statements, please don't bother. If this sounds harsh, it's because we have tons of "profile builders" who make dozens of posts like that per day just to get themselves, and their profile link back to their services website, in front of you.
Thread Titles: Please try to avoid thread titles like "Which CMS?" or "CMS Recommendations" or, of course, the ever-popular "Help". Ask yourself this, if you had just written a killer Joomla plugin that allows users to integrate their Twitter feed into their Joomla site, would you be more likely to read a post that was titled "Which CMS?" or "CMS with Twitter integration needed"?
Posting URLs. In general, posting any non-authoritative URL, including your own site, is prohibited. These URLs tend to go bad over time, they lead to a fractured discussion and are commonly used by spammers, some of who are very clever about obscuring their intent or relationship to the site being promoted. Similarly, posting information that leads to specific sites comes under the same rules.
Private Message Requests. We try to keep discussion on the forum and it's sort of impolite to carry on a conversation half on and half off the thread. If people want to send you a private message, they will. If you want someone to send you a private message, just send them one. Don't ask for a PM in the thread.
Self-promotional posts. Sorry, this is not a forum to sell your services or products. Anything that sounds like that will be deleted or edited.

Hi all,
just got myself a lovely 325d, absolutely chuffed with it. Previously had Fords and a Citroen ( ) but this is my first BMW.
Got it just over a week ago and already taken it to the Lake District and the Yorkshire Moors. Had a week off work so wanted to get out and get used to the new machine!
Some photos from my travels..

Dear Annie: A year ago, I found out that my husband had been cheating on me at his brother's house. He was having an affair with "Charlie's" wife's sister. My husband cheated more than 30 years ago with a friend of Charlie's, and we divorced over it. We got back together two years later.
I have forgiven my husband for his most recent affair, and we renewed our wedding vows six months ago, but I cannot forgive his brother. Over the years, Charlie has tried his best to split us up. I no longer allow my husband to visit Charlie unless I am with him. Dealing with this relationship causes me severe headaches, and I've lost 50 pounds. My doctor says the stress is killing me.
I know Charlie will continue trying to break up my marriage. What should I do to stop this nightmare? - Brokenhearted in Indiana
Dear Brokenhearted: Charlie may have encouraged the cheating, but your husband had to cooperate. This is now your husband's responsibility. He needs to tell his brother to knock it off, that he isn't interested in having an affair, and that if Charlie tries to break up his marriage, the relationship is over. Charlie has to understand that there are consequences to interfering in your lives, but his brother is the one who must make it stick.
Dear Annie: I had to write after reading the letter from "Joining the Letting Go Club," whose adult children have cut them out of their lives.
Usually the parental rejection involves money. Sometimes, the kids know they are not in the will, or the parents refused to appoint one of them power of attorney. Sometimes, the parents have gifted their children so much that they have nothing left.
Your advice to this couple was solid. Enjoy each other and fill it with people who expect nothing in return except friendship. - Know in New York

!!!Attention!!! This BIOS update is for the BH6 Rev. 1.1 ONLY!!!
Since there are two different key versions (One is the version 1.0x series,
the other one is the version 1.1 and newer series) it's very important to
know how to recognize which mainboard version you have before upgrading
your board's BIOS. How can you tell? There are two ways.
The first way You may find the version number on the white sticker of last ISA slot side and see a string of characters like "BH6-OK V1.XX".
The second way You may read the last two words on the bottom right of the first boot-up screen (Energy Star Logo) to recognize what the BIOS id. number you have, then you will know which one you have to download and upgrade for your board.

Wieland or the Transformation HTML version
Chapter 9
My brother had received a new book from Germany. It was a tragedy, and the first
attempt of a Saxon poet, of whom my brother had been taught to entertain the highest
expectations. The exploits of Zisca, the Bohemian hero, were woven into a dramatic
series and connection. According to German custom, it was minute and diffuse, and
dictated by an adventurous and lawless fancy. It was a chain of audacious acts, and
unheard-of disasters. The moated fortress, and the thicket; the ambush and the battle; and
the conflict of headlong passions, were pourtrayed in wild numbers, and with terrific
energy. An afternoon was set apart to rehearse this performance. The language was
familiar to all of us but Carwin, whose company, therefore, was tacitly dispensed with.
The morning previous to this intended rehearsal, I spent at home. My mind was occupied
with reflections relative to my own situation. The sentiment which lived with chief
energy in my heart, was connected with the image of Pleyel. In the midst of my anguish, I
had not been destitute of consolation. His late deportment had given spring to my hopes.
Was not the hour at hand, which should render me the happiest of human creatures? He
suspected that I looked with favorable eyes upon Carwin. Hence arose disquietudes,
which he struggled in vain to conceal. He loved me, but was hopeless that his love would
be compensated. Is it not time, said I, to rectify this error? But by what means is this to be
effected? It can only be done by a change of deportment in me; but how must I demean
myself for this purpose?
I must not speak. Neither eyes, nor lips, must impart the information. He must not be
assured that my heart is his, previous to the tender of his own; but he must be convinced
that it has not been given to another; he must be supplied with space whereon to build a
doubt as to the true state of my affections; he must be prompted to avow himself. The line
of delicate propriety; how hard it is, not to fall short, and not to overleap it!
This afternoon we shall meet at the temple. We shall not separate till late. It will be his
province to accompany me home. The airy expanse is without a speck. This breeze is
usually stedfast, and its promise of a bland and cloudless evening, may be trusted. The
moon will rise at eleven, and at that hour, we shall wind along this bank. Possibly that
hour may decide my fate. If suitable encouragement be given, Pleyel will reveal his soul
to me; and I, ere I reach this threshold, will be made the happiest of beings. And is this
good to be mine? Add wings to thy speed, sweet evening; and thou, moon, I charge thee,
shroud thy beams at the moment when my Pleyel whispers love. I would not for the
world, that the burning blushes, and the mounting raptures of that moment, should be
But what encouragement is wanting? I must be regardful of insurmountable limits. Yet
when minds are imbued with a genuine sympathy, are not words and looks superfluous?
Are not motion and touch sufficient to impart feelings such as mine? Has he not eyed me

Amanda Knox says what happened to her was surreal
This April 9, 2013 photo released by ABC shows Amanda Knox, left, speaking during an interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer in New York. Last month, Italy's highest criminal court overturned her acquittal in the 2007 slaying of British student Meredith Kercher and ordered a new trial. The interview will air on Tuesday, April 30, coinciding with the release of her memoir, "Waiting to Be Heard." (AP Photo/ABC, Ida Mae Astute)
SEATTLE (AP) — Amanda Knox says in an interview that what happened to her was "surreal but it could have happened to anyone."
The Seattle native told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an interview airing Tuesday night that "I want the truth to come out. [auth] I'd like to be reconsidered as a person."
In March, Italy's highest criminal court overturned Knox's acquittal in the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher and ordered a new trial for Knox, 25. Italian law cannot compel Knox to return for the new legal proceeding.
Knox told Sawyer the high court's decision was "incredibly painful" and she felt as if she had to crawl through another field of barbed wire after reaching what she thought was the end.
She said she was aware of being labeled a seductress, she-devil and other names in the media, but she said "they're wrong."
"I was in the courtroom when they were calling me a devil," she told Sawyer in interview excerpts posted online. "It's one thing to be called certain things in the media, and it's another thing to be sitting in a courtroom fighting for your life while people are calling you a devil.
"For all intents and purposes I was a murderer, whether I was or not. I had to live with the idea that that would be my life," she said during the interview.
Italian prosecutors have said Knox, who was an exchange student studying in Perugia, Italy, and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito killed Kercher in a drug-fueled sex assault involving a third man.
They maintained that the murder weapon was a large knife taken from Sollecito's house. Prosecutors said the knife matched the wounds on Kercher's body and had traces of Kercher's DNA on the blade and Knox's DNA on the handle.
However, Knox's defenders said she was innocent and was forced to say things she didn't mean during a lengthy police interrogation. And they said bumbling Italian police contaminated the crime scene, producing flawed DNA evidence.
An Ivorian man is serving a 16-year sentence for Kercher's slaying. A new trial also has been ordered for Sollecito.
Since returning to Seattle in 2011, Knox has largely avoided the public spotlight in her Pacific Northwest hometown where she is studying at the University of Washington.
Her memoir, "Waiting to Be Heard," was released Tuesday.

11. The Portresse's Cabinet
It was summer and very hot. Georgette, the youngest of Madame Beck's children, took a
fever. Désirée, suddenly cured of her ailments was, together with Fifine, packed off to
Bonne-Maman in the country, by way of precaution against infection. Medical aid was
now really needed, and Madame, choosing to ignore the return of Dr. Pillule, who had
been at home a week, conjured his English rival to continue his visits. One or two of the
pensionnaires complained of headache, and in other respects seemed slightly to
participate in Georgette's ailment. 'Now, at last', I thought, 'Dr. Pillule must be recalled:
the prudent directress will never venture to permit the attendance of so young a man on
the pupils.'
The directress was very prudent, but she could also be intrepidly venturous. She actually
introduced Dr. John to the school-division of the premises, and established him in
attendance on the proud and handsome Blanche de Melcy, and the vain, flirting
Angélique, her friend. Dr. John, I thought, testified a certain gratification at this mark of
confidence; and if discretion of bearing could have justified the step, it would by him
have been amply justified. Here, however, in this land of convents and confessionals,
such a presence as his was not to be suffered with impunity in a 'pensionnat de
demoiselles.' The school gossipped, the kitchen whispered, the town caught the rumour,
parents wrote letters and paid visits of remonstrance. Madame, had she been weak, would
now have been lost: a dozen rival educational houses were ready to improve this false
step - if false step it were - to her ruin; but Madame was not weak, and little Jesuit though
she might be, yet I clapped the hands of my heart, and with its voice cried 'brava!' as I
watched her able bearing, her skilled management, her temper and her firmness on this
She met the alarmed parents with a good-humoured, easy grace: for nobody matched her
in, I know not whether to say the possession or the assumption of a certain 'rondeur et
franchise de bonne femme'; which on various occasions gained the point aimed at with
instant and complete success, where severe gravity and serious reasoning would probably
have failed.
'Ce pauvre Docteur Jean!' she would say, chuckling and rubbing joyously her fat, little,
white hands; 'ce cher jeune homme! le meilleur créature du monde!' and go on to explain
how she happened to be employing him for her own children, who were so fond of him
they would scream themselves into fits at the thought of another doctor; how where she
had confidence for her own, she thought it natural to repose trust for others, and au reste
it was only the most temporary expedient in the world; Blanche and Angélique had the
migraine; Dr. John had written a prescription; voilà tout!
The parents' mouths were closed. Blanche and Angélique saved her all remaining trouble
by chanting loud duets in their physician's praise; the other pupils echoed them,
unanimously declaring that when they were ill they would have Dr. John and nobody
else; and Madame laughed, and the parents laughed too. The Labassecouriens must have

Inspiration for custom vinyl can come from the smallest places sometimes. Like, for example, Minkuru, the mascot of the Toei Bus line run by Tokyo's government. Created by a fellow named Jon who's behind a small company called Rampage Toys, Minkuru is built from a Dunny body and a Munny head, along with a few other customizations, like the little wings on the back of the figure and the red antennae.
How's it stack up to the real mascot? Well, as you can see in the gallery below, Minkuru's got a different shape because he's designed to look both like a bus and a bug, but I'd say for what it's worth, this Munny/Dunny mash-up is not bad at all. What do you guys think?

Tauranga sailors have returned with mixed results after tricky conditions at the 2014 Isaf Youth Sailing World Championships in Tavira, Portugal.
After an average first day in the 57-strong boys' Laser radial fleet, Trent Rippey improved his race results as the regatta unfolded to finish eighth overall.
In the boys' double-handed 420 classes, Sam Barnett and Zak Merton, both from the Tauranga Yacht & Powerboat Club, wrapped up the regatta in 17th overall and will go on to compete in their class world championships.
"It's been a really tough week for us and we learned a lot which can only help us in the future," Barnett said.
"We are looking forward to the 420 Open Worlds in Travemunde next week where we'll be striving for better results".
Standing on the podium for New Zealand were Markus Somerville (Wakatere Boating Club) and Isaac McHardie (Wakatere Boating Club and Hamilton Yacht Club) who, despite the tricky conditions, sailed consistently well during all five days of the regatta to secure the bronze medal in the 29er skiff class.
SL16 multihull pair Micah Wilkinson (Ngaroto Sailing Club) and Jack Rogers (Murrays Bay Sailing Club) finished strongly to climb into fifth overall for a top-five finish to the regatta.
Team manager Ian Neely said the conditions made it difficult for the Kiwi sailors.
"The sailors all persevered and learnt a lot about how to sail in the soft breezes," Neely said.
"It is fantastic for Isaac and Markus to win bronze and great to see many of the team performing so well at the end."
New Zealand were 10th in the standings for the Nations Trophy, won by Spain.

Breaking News – Is Social Media Taking Over?
Social Media is becoming increasingly popular for people to discover the news, as the current generation become more disengaged with traditional news outlets.
There are some huge stories that broke on Twitter before hitting the headlines, including the deaths of Whitney Houston and Osama Bin Laden as well as the announcement of the Royal Wedding. Twitter is now the place for journalists to update the public on current news before they have the time to write a full article on the matter.
So where do people get their news from?
Source: aytm.com
You can see from this chart that Social Media accounts for over 25% of all sources for breaking news.
When a plane crashed into the river Hudson, a guy on Twitter was on the case first:
And believe it or not, the person who first reported Osama Bin Laden's death was his next door neighbour, who tweeted to complain about the noise, unknowingly tweeting about one of the biggest news stories of the decade:
Reddit has also become a hugely popular source for breaking news. When the tragic Colorado shooting took place, the quickest reports came from Reddit, as posts from people who were actually in the movie theatre started appearing along with an entire comprehensive timeline of police activity.
The problem may fall in the accuracy of breaking news on Social Media, as the number of times celebrities have been trending on twitter due to their apparent deaths, does pose the question of how we can filter out the fake headlines.
Journalist and director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, Tom Rosenstiel has pointed out that:
"Many journalists may feel intimidated or in competition with new media such as social networking, but rather than aiming to win the "race" to break news, it's important journalists remain accurate. Everyone can be in the breaking news business now, but speed is the enemy of accuracy."
A great example of this is when blogger, Adam Jacobi, tweeted an inaccurate reporting of the death of Joe Paterno, a legendary Penn State University football coach from the CBS Sports Twitter account. The false reports were rapidly dismissed by the Paterno family and Jacobi was fired:
I think there is a balance between breaking news on Social Media and other sources such as the television. Social Media is great for on the spot breaking news headlines, but to ensure accuracy and to delve further into the story, then other sources are necessary.
Incorporating other social media forms such as news is becoming increasingly popular in the private and public sectors alike. For example; whttdental.co.uk, which is a dentist in Daventry/Northamptonshire, is doing a great job in managing patient reviews of the dentistry on the NHS Choices website.
How much do you rely on Social Media to provide up to date breaking news and do you believe everything you read online?

In MINE ~ Teaching – and Learning – True Stewardship, we talked about the concept that nothing truly belongs to us if we belong to Jesus Christ; everything is given to us from Him and it all truly belongs to Him. We talked about stewarding relationships in Teaching the Art of Relating and about stewarding the heart in A Heart is a Terrible Thing to Waste. We've talked about Time ~ Stewardship of 86,400 Seconds, and about financial stewardship in Show Me the Money!. Money is such a huge topic that three posts seemed reasonable, so we discussed financial stewardship for preK through 5th grade in Bring in the Piggies! That brings us all up to date on the stewardship series so far. We have just a few weeks to go. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you think of stewardship.
As I mentioned in Show Me the Money!, there are around eight HUNDRED verses in the Bible that deal with finances. 800 verses is a lot. Money is a heart issue; it all comes down to our willingness to surrender to the Creator, and to live self-disciplined, ordered lives. That's no small challenge. I cringe at writing any post about financial stewardship (or health stewardship, if we're going to be really honest), because those are areas in which I have personally struggled. I really used to like money. I still do, I just know now that it all belongs to God. Our older kids walked with us through a period of time when my husband and I decided to pay off our debts. All of them. By the time they left home, we had paid off everything but our house, and we were down to putting chunks of money into our mortgage. We had savings and investments, and I was feeling pretty good about my managerial skills (Ha!).
That's about the time that we were hit by one of those storms in life that makes you wonder if you'll live through it. We had a major (major!) issue with our home. Because of the issue, our family had some serious health challenges. Medical bills – even with insurance – are expensive! Then, in the midst of our financial chaos (which we still thought we could right), the economy crashed. Our industry was hard-hit.
We sold our antique furniture (and almost everything else), we liquidated our investments, and emptied our savings accounts. We borrowed. Today, we're doing everything we can to live solid financial principles. In the midst of our storm, and now on the other side, the Church has come along beside us in amazing ways. Other people, who already knew that their money wasn't theirs, have carried us through our dark moments.
What have I learned? That my money isn't mine. That planning for a storm is essential, and that planning sometimes isn't enough. Sometimes all we can do is fall on our faces before the King of the Universe (who owns everything) and plead for help. That God is faithful, even when we are not.
These are the lessons I hope to teach our younger kids. Our older kids have watched us walk them. I don't know that heart issues about money can truly be taught, but they can definitely be modeled. We should certainly teach our kids what the Bible says about money. Ultimately, they'll make their own choices. I hope my children make their financial decisions armed with a head full of the Bible.
My husband and I decided early on that we'd rather have our children make some of their poor financial choices while still at home so that we could support them while they learned. We opened savings accounts for each of them at young ages and helped them save. Sometime around age 16 for each of them, we went to the bank and opened a checking account in their names. I taught them to write checks, balance a checkbook, and how basic banking worked. I explained bonds and CDs, and helped them each purchase their first CDs. We allowed our children to work, to earn their own money, and to manage it with a decreasing amount of oversight from us. We let them make their own mistakes. At some point (when we felt their spending might be a little frivolous), we began to encourage them to buy their own clothes, shoes and toiletries.
As our younger set of children approach the middle school years, we've decided that rather than just teaching personal finance through experience, this time around, we want to intentionally teach the underlying concepts of business and economics. I really feel that regardless of whether you homeschool or send your child to school, we parents must take the responsibility to teach our kids. Since I haven't used a curriculum for this topic before, I'll just mention a few that I'm excited about. I'd love to know what you use! As I mentioned in a previous post, Rainbow Resource Center offers a free catalog (the size of a phonebook) with a whole section on economic curriculums. Here are a few that look great to me:
Biblical Economics is written by R.C. Sproul Jr., and comes with mp3 classes he teaches himself. It is recommended for ages 13 and up, and is from Vision Forum.
Capitalism for Kids (grades 5 and up) by Karl Hess covers the differences between capitalism, socialism and communism.
Money Matters for Teens by Larry Burkett (grades 6 – 12) covers personal finance from a biblical perspective and has a workbook walking teens through investing, borrowing and daily financial management.
Economics and You (grades 5-8) covers macro and micro-economics on a level geared towards the middle school years.
Personal Finance covers basic financial management for grades 5-9.
I also found a number of interesting curriculums for entrepreneurship and business management. Fat Brain Coffee (grades 3-7) looked like the most fun to me, allowing children to actually start and run their own coffee business while taking the course.
How do you teach (or how did you teach) financial stewardship and economics to your teens? If you haven't hit the teen years yet, what are your thoughts on teaching financial stewardship? I'd love to know!

When I first became Muslim, I figured that I would fast Ramadan every year until I died. Then I got married and got pregnant. I worried about the effect that fasting would have on the development of my unborn baby. Research led me to believe that fasting while pregnant was not a good idea, for the baby or for me. When I looked to the the Qur'an for guidance I was relieved to read: O You who have attained to faith! Fasting is ordained for you as it was ordained for those before you, so that y … [Read more...]

There's a egg in my boot! (O/T)
So I put the girls to bed and went in my room to call my MiL.
A while later, my 2.5 year old DD comes in my room and says, "look mama, I got a egg in my boot!"
No, she had THREE (raw) eggs in her boot.
I told her, "kid. Stay out of the fridge and go to bed. "
She said "OK mama. You keepa eggs. You welcome." shut the door.. And went back to her room. What on earth is going on in her head? Lol
Quoting LittleBlueOwl: Better than a spider I found in my shoe. A large spider! Lol
Quoting amanda_mom89: Ew. That would make me want to have someone else burn my shoes. I hate spiders. Sneaky Bastards.
Quoting LittleBlueOwl: Better than a spider I found in my shoe. A large spider! Lol
I found about three pounds of cat food in my boot one year. Turns out it was a mouse or chipmunk that was hoarding cat food in my winter boots in the hall closet. Weird
When my oldest, 7 now, was younger and introduced to hard boiled eggs....she thought all eggs were like that... nice little eggy mess I had to clean up one day because she wanted a hard boiled egg...but it wasn't boiled lol lesson learned at least.
I read your title and was anticipating a wild bird egg in boots left outside. Never imagined it'd be an egg-hiding toddler! lol
We used to have chickens, and I'd find eggs just about everywhere except in the coop. They had their preferred locations, for sure. They never laid in footwear though.

Part-time M.B.A. program ranked among nation's best
For a fifth consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report ranked University of Michigan-Dearborn's part-time M.B.A. program as one of the nation's best.
The publication recognized UM-Dearborn's College of Business (COB) for having the second best part-time M.B.A. program in Michigan in its "Best Graduate Schools" edition released this week.
"Most graduate students have demanding lives as they try to balance work, school and other personal obligations," said COB Dean Raju Balakrishnan. "That's why our part-time M.B.A. program is designed to accommodate their busy schedules. Being ranked once again among the nation's best part-time M.B.A. programs is continued evidence of the university's overall dedication to academic excellence."
The publication based its rankings on five factors: average peer assessment score; average GMAT score and average GRE quantitative and verbal scores of part-time M.B.A. students entering in fall 2013; average undergraduate GPA; work experience; and percentage of the business school's fall 2013 M.B.A. enrollment that is part time.
In January, U.S. News & World Report also recognized COB for having one of the state's top three online graduate business programs. In a separate ranking, The Princeton Review recognized COB as a "Best Business School" for a fifth consecutive year.

67 Women, 67 Counties, Facing Breast Cancer in Pennsylvania
"When you're first told, you have breast cancer it just knocks your socks off and it's hard to believe and I was afraid I was going to die," said Betty Shelley, breast cancer survivor for 26 years.
It was an evening of reflection and hope as breast cancer survivors and supporters from across
"The exhibit, I think is very empowering for women, in particular, this is people's opportunity to put a face with the disease. You know, you can talk about, oh it's breast cancer but you know these are real women and real stories and real families that are affected," Billie Piper Hammond, breast cancer survivor for 13 years.
The traveling photo exhibit represents all 67 counties in
"Many women at that time when we started the exhibit weren't so comfortable telling their friends and family and coworkers about their diagnosis and so we wanted to let them know that they're not alone in this fight and by reaching out to those people they can get the support they need to navigate their diagnosis," said Natalie Kopp, Communications Director for the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition.
The photo exhibit is featured in six locations each year but this is it's first time in
"These are people who have had breast cancer, some people who have conquered breast cancer and it's also a memorial to some of the people who are less fortunate," said
The exhibit also encourages women to learn about early detection.
A display of hope and a lesson that could save lives.
The photo exhibit is free and open to the public and runs until April 24th at the

Where I stayed
Dreamer Hostel
The next day it's sunny so we head to the beach – Bahia Concha. It takes a bit of time and negotiation on costs but we get there (end up paying double local price – a bit frustrating)
The next day we are off to Tayrona National Park for an overnight stay. It's only 45 min from the hostel and known for beautiful beaches. However you have to work for your beaches – about a 3hr walk through jungle, along beaches and very muddy paths but each time you come across a beautiful deserted bay (and get to cool off), it's worth it. Also there is plenty of wildlife to keep us occupied – lizards of all shapes, sizes and colours rustle about when we disturb them and birds fly overhead. We eventually get to the most popular bay, Cabo de San Juan, which has a long sandy bay, turquoise warm water and is sheltered from the waves. Even I spend a lot of time in the water. The restaurant serves very good seafood and so the rest of the day passes with some food, beers, swimming and sunbathing. The sunset is amazing with purple / pink skies and picture perfect conditions. Really does seem like something out of a movie set.
We sleep in hammocks which may sound perfect but in reality, they are slightly damp, smelly and rammed into a shed of about 30
Up early the next day (not too easy to sleep late in a hammock), we spend the day making our way back out of the park, stopping at each beach for a while to enjoy the water. On our way back we even come across a couple of snakes on the path and have to wait until they clear off – one quite large bright green snake and another tiny little one slithered into the trees. Having never got close to the snake in the jungle and not expecting to see any here as the path is busy enough – I'm a little bit unnerved but Jonny is glad we saw them on the way out and not the way in (there would have been a lot less sleep if I had been thinking of snakes!). He does attempt to get close for a photo (surprise surprise) but just misses as the snake goes back into the undergrowth.
These were definitely the most beautiful beaches we have seen, as they are so natural and very well protected. Worth the hard trek there, and one of our highlights so far!

Steadily she draws on her face...hiding the ugly underneath.
She hides the imperfections with worldly things.... loosing herself to the unknown.
Not wanting to see her true image… doing her best to diminish it.
