Business success from raincoat offcuts
Published: March 21 2012 - 3:00AM
Dick Bonouvrie, a Dutch postwar migrant to Australia, had only a chemical engineering degree at the beginning and when he set out on his own in 1960 he started small, with five colleagues and two second-hand extruders on hire purchase. Initially, he and his colleagues used offcuts from plastic raincoats to produce electrical conduit. From there, the company Vinidex grew to become a national manufacturer and supplier of pipes and fittings, employing hundreds of staff.
Bonouvrie became chairman of the Plastics Institute and in 1982, the chairman of the National Plastics Industry Training Council. In 1991 he was made a member of the Order of Australia.
Dirk (Dick) Willem Bonouvrie was born in Rotterdam, Holland, on July 6, 1923, the son of postal worker Anthonie Bonouvrie and Geertruida (nee van Dyk). As a teenager, he lived under Nazi rule, a period he recalled for the rest of his life: the persecution of the Jews, starvation, British planes dropping bread by parachute, and hiding under a trapdoor in the floorspace when officialdom called to avoid being sent to a labour camp. He went to school in Amsterdam and graduated in chemical engineering from a technology institute.
Bonouvrie started work with a plastics company and married a Dutch girl, Hetty Doormernik, in 1948. They had two sons, Tony and Johan. He then landed a job with a plastics company, Diecasters, in Collingwood, Victoria, and the family migrated to Australia in 1950 and settled in Melbourne. Three more children were born: Jackie, Geoffrey and Thea. The family moved to Sydney in 1954, and Bonouvrie started work with Stevens Plastics, a company later taken over by Nylex.
In 1960, Bonouvrie set up a small factory in Silverwater with five colleagues. The early years were tough, but the six were resourceful and Vinidex grew. The company expanded as a major polyvinyl chloride manufacturer and took on employees.
In 1974 Bonouvrie's marriage to Hetty ended in divorce and in 1975 he married a laboratory technician, Barbara Jacobe, who had four children: Susan, Bruce, Stephen and Andrew. Outside his work, Bonouvrie enjoyed travelling and sailing. He was a member of the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht squadron and Royal Motor Yacht squadron and owned several yachts in succession. In 1980, he raced his 43-foot yacht, "Pipedream", in the Sydney-to-Hobart.
Bonouvrie retired from Vinidex in 1984, but continued to consult for, part-own and sit on the board of companies including Maplan, RibLoc, NZ Forests, Lift, Dynavac and Allersearch.
In his memoirs, Bonouvrie wrote: "It has been an exciting journey, which has given me many rewards: 36 wonderful years with Barbara; the love, joy and friendship we have had from our children; [and] the chance to start and lead a pioneering company that is still going strong."
Dick Bonouvrie is survived by Barbara, eight children (Susan deceased), 19 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Citation: Abrams, S.A., Hicks, P.D., Hawthorne, K.M. 2009. Calcium absorption and vitamin D status in school age children [abstract]. Journal of Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. 23:112.4. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Increasing serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-D) in adults may enhance calcium absorption (Ca-Abs). There are few similar pediatric data. We evaluated the relationship between 25-D and Ca-Abs by pooling data from 439 Ca-Abs measurements over a 15-yr period at our center in 251 healthy children 4.9 to 16.7 yrs of age. Serum 25-D ranged from 28 to 197 nmol/L (Mean 85 nmol/L). Ca-Abs was correlated to 25-D in the whole population, r = 0.16, p = 0.001. This relationship was closer in the 197 studies in early puberty (Tanner 2 or 3), r = 0.35, p < 0.001. We found no close relationship between Ca-Abs and 25-D in the 206 studies in which 25-D was <80 nmol/L (r= 0.08, p = 0.24), including the 113 studies conducted in early puberty (r = 0.002, p = 0.98). In early puberty, Ca-Abs was 111 +/- 21 mg/d (SEM) greater in studies in which 25-D was >80 nmol/L compared to those in which it was <80 nmol/L. This difference was not seen in prepubertal (Tanner 1) or postpubertal (Tanner 4 or 5) subjects. Improving vitamin D status may have limited effects on Ca-Abs in healthy children except when 25-D >80 nmol/L is achieved during early puberty.

Okay, ladies & gents, it's time to dish at our weekly open post. Pour the coffee, grab some donut holes, we'll be here for awhile!
From the chic green laquered packaging to the enticing (and mismatched) floral carboard outer packaging, Clinique was the brand that captured the attention of my young makeup-obsessed self. While I'd had dalliances with Maybelline and Revlon, my desire to get my hands on Clinique makeup consumed so much of my waking hours that it was a moment of supreme justice when I acquired my very own Stay Matte powder compact in high school. Even more impressive than my much lusted after powder I proudly showed off in the quad during lunch is the fact that I had to purchase this entirely on the sly. My parents did not approve of my high school makeup wearing ways at all! And look at me now!
Without a MAC store or counter in close proximity, Clinique was my starter makeup brand. While I don't wear much Clinique now, I still get excited when I see their green laquered and metalllic packaging. Funny enough, I cleary remember turning my nose up at Wet n Wild, unaware that I'd be completely coo coo for cocoa puffs over their shadows in the present day.
What about you? What was your makeup brand of choice from the early days of your makeup loving life?

Who is Tony talking to? Lol
Good throw Romo

Moorman is gonna have a dead leg at the end of the this game...........
just pathetic.
Man this offense is really down.
Our offense is pathetic. We our the worst offense in the league.
Romo already skiddish in the pocket.
ugh please don't play scared Tony.. We need you
Coaches should be fired after this game.
Too bad we can't fire our head football guy.
That was a bad pass on Romo who looks jumpy back there. He kinda stepped back just as he threw that.
punter is going to need his leg iced after this game
nice throw romo
Can't blame him....

the browns seem to have a pretty solid defense


text: I want to make a giant troll costume like the CGI one in Harry Potter. I'm considering using stilts but I can't find any less then a hundred dollars and I wouldn't even know what to look for in them. I visited a million mascot websites on "fur costume" making but the information is limited. If anyone can tell me a good source for making costumes with foam rubber (alot of foam rubber) let me know.

He'll play in his hometown of Toronto on Thursday night and has two games left to reach the mark. Cole scored twice in the second period, Pacioretty had a pair of goals in the third and Alexei Emelin also found the net for Montreal (30-35-15), the last-place team in the Eastern Conference. Vincent Lecavalier scored off a gift from Montreal backup goalie Peter Budaj, and defenseman Bruno Gervais added a goal for Tampa Bay (37-36-7), which has also been eliminated from playoff contention.

What to Avoid When Using High-Pressure Cleaning Equipment
High-pressure cleaning equipment, or just a pressure washer as it's often called, is a great tool for homeowners. You can more readily remove stubborn mildew or stains from a deck and make quick work of cleaning off those grimy and greasy tools with a pressure washer, or even wash your car without going to a car wash. When you are using this type of equipment, you might note a few common mistakes to avoid so you know you don't damage your property or ruin the equipment itself.
Not winterizing the system
When you put your pressure washer away for the winter, you want to protect it from corrosion and damage that might form due to cold weather. To do this, use an RV-type antifreeze and run it through the washer and out into the discharge hose on the side. Be sure you use an antifreeze meant for an RV as this is good for something stored long-term and not meant for cars that are driven even through the wintertime. This antifreeze will keep condensation and frost from forming inside the hoses and other wet pieces while the unit is stored.
Don't use the washer on a ladder
Keep in mind that the pressure from the washer is actually pushing back on you; when you're standing on solid ground, you may not think about how it's affecting your balance but if you're on a ladder, even a sight pushback can put you off balance and cause a fall. It might also cause the ladder to push away from your home or other surface. If you need to wash upper windows and your current pressure washer cannot reach, either upgrade to a stronger washer or rent scaffolding with a safety rail that keeps you balanced and safe.
Not using the right detergent for the washer
A pressure washer will have a type of nozzle that is meant for certain detergents; a thicker detergent that can't get through a thin nozzle will simply clog the hoses or mix unevenly with the water. You may have not thought about the nozzle that comes with your pressure washer or may have chosen the cheapest model on the market, which usually means a thin nozzle, and then have wondered why it's always getting clogged. Check the nozzle and switch detergents or invest in a larger nozzle meant to handle thicker soaps used for homes and greasy tools to protect your machine and get the job done right.

Northstar Engines and System Technical Discussion Discussion, water pump cover gasket in Cadillac Engine Discussion; Replaced this today, I got the updated Fel-Pro gasket 35694. Wow was I ever surprised when I got the cover ...

water pump cover gasket
Replaced this today, I got the updated Fel-Pro gasket 35694. Wow was I ever surprised when I got the cover off and saw all this leakage! It's odd I didn't notice it was loosing any coolant, because for the longest time I did smell a slight coolant smell when I walked in front of the car. I only finally noticed the wet spot on the cover yesterday after the car sat for 2 days. I think any time I ran the engine the coolant evaporated before I could see it.
So was the old gasket a problem with leakage like this? I hope the new design will be the end of this issue.
Re: water pump cover gasket
The seepage from the cover gaskets seems to be minimal at best. My '97 a seepage leak there. Bough a new gasket, but the seepage was so slow that I never had to add coolant. Figured I'd wait til it was water pump time to change it. It's still hanging in the garage.
Re: water pump cover gasket
This one finally got to the point where it was dripping... the only reason I noticed the leak was because I saw the wet spot on the trans cooler line below the water pump. I guess I'll see if this starts seeping again or not (hopefully not!).

Remove peeling paint?
So, this is a flooring question - but not in the house. It's in my garage. It looks like the previous owner did a DIY "paint the garage floor kit" and probably used it improperly. Since I moved in 1.5 years ago, the floor has been peeling. It's getting worse. There are chips/flecks of paint that get dragged into the house on shoes, the floors of our cars are getting full of them, and it just generally looks super ugly.
What is the best way to remedy this? I'm pretty-sure I can't paint over it, as the new paint will just bond to the old paint and flake off with it. I don't want to pressure wash it all off (A. everything would get soaked + walls are finished; B. It's winter). Would a floor sander type of method work out, or would the concrete just chew up sanding discs?
I am fine with the floor just being concrete - it doesn't HAVE to be repainted, but if it looks bad after removing the old stuff, I'd probably want to put down new paint.
Info: House/Garage was built in 2002, Chicago climate, ~750sqft garage floor.
Have it shot blasted .
Never heard of that process, thanks! I'll have to look around and see if I can find anyone who does that. Any idea if it istypically super-expensive? Can you rent those machines (or is it advisable to do so - or better left to the pros)?
Depends on what your expectations are . i don't see why you couldn't do it if you can find a rental .
If you have a problem finding a rental , or someone , post back . I may know someone in your area .
It looks like Sunbelt rents them for $420/day (or $865/week). It is an 8" electric shot blaster and says it can do 275 sqft/hr. I would assume that means if you know what you are doing. That does not include the dust collector at $97/day (or $290/week). So it's looking like $517 for a day, or $1,155 for a week - plus media. If I could find 2 other people (neighbors, etc) that wanted to go in together for a week, that might be affordable. +$500 to DIY seems a bit much - I guess I need to find a quoted price to compare.
Let me check a few of my flooring tech sites and see if anyone is in your area .
In the meantime you can check it on your end .
Thanks! I'll see what I can find. I'm near Joliet, IL - if that helps.
No Luck finding anyone in your area .
See if you can rent a stand up diamond cup grinder with a dust collection system .
They rent for around $125.00 a day here .
Yeah, I haven't had any luck either. Nobody seems to care about garage floors :(
I'll look into your other suggestion and see what I find. The cost of renting the shot blaster doesn't put it out of the question, but it does make me want to explore other avenues before committing. Thanks again for all your help.
Looks like $97/day for the grinder, and $97/day for the dust collection vac. $194 is much easier to swallow, thus far.
You should be able to knock it out in a day hyunelan.
We use them to grind down high spots in concrete .
Make sure to get one that runs on 120 .
How much risk is there in grinding down too far an marring the surface of the concrete?
Just cut a few ft at a quick pace and check it . the most you should do is remove the slurry cap.

WINNIPEG - It was a horrid first half that could have spiraled into a nightmare game.
But Blue Bomber punter Mike Renaud returned to practice, Monday, knowing he can begin preparations for the dangerous Toronto Argonauts with a clear head.
Sort of.
Renaud acknowledged he let an early blocked punt get to him in the season-opener in Hamilton Friday, as he mis-hit a few kicks and went into the locker-room at half-time, reeling.
It plays with your drop, mentally, and everything else thats part of being a punter, Renaud said. Thats what happened in the first half. Youve got to erase those as fast as you can. Otherwise youre bound to get caught in a downward spiral.
The goal at half-time was just to reset my mind and come out and play the way I can.
He did, finishing strongly.
Next up, the Argos, who boast a special teams unit, and a returner in Chad Owens, who can make you pay dearly for mistakes.
Im going into Toronto acting as though that never happened, Renaud said. They have a tremendous returner, the best in the league. That puts a lot of pressure on my job and really ensuring that Im putting the ball where our coverage is going to be.
NO EASY ONES: After watching Week 1s upsets, Bomber head coach Paul LaPolice doesnt expect any free spaces on the CFL bingo card this season.
I dont think theres a bad team in this league, Winnipegs second-year boss said. I dont think theres a team that has a young coach thats never had CFL experience, or co-ordinators that dont know the league, or a GM that doesnt know the league. I just told our players, every two points is going to count, now. Parity is going to be in this league this year.
That was all the guys up front. Those guys block hard, Floyd said. They go hard every chance they get.
As a receiver, Floyd caught one ball for just three yards, and says he has plenty of work to do.
NEW/OLD BLOOD: Because the receiving corps is on the hobble, the Bombers are bringing back import Alex Watson, a training camp cut.
The team also signed import running back Mike McLendon to the practice roster. The 5-foot-9, 200-pound North Alabama product, who had a stint with the NFLs Jacksonville Jaguars, replaces RB Alex Henderson, who was released from the PR.
McLendons a kid that (GM Joe) Macks had an eye on for a long time and worked out live, LaPolice said. He can really run, hes fast, has a good change of direction.

A small but growing faction of angry teachers will withdraw voluntary services – from club supervision to coaching and directing plays – casting a cloud of uncertainty over the coming school year in Ontario.
The move is not a directive from unions, but a decision by individual teachers who feel betrayed by the Ontario government. Educators are up in arms over legislation being pushed through at Queen's Park this week that dictates the terms of their next contract.
"It makes me feel like we're just pawns," said Lisa Taylor, a Grade 2 teacher at Arthur Public School in Arthur, Ont. "I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a teacher who thinks this [legislation] is fine."
Teachers routinely lead after-school activities on their own time or buy books for the classroom with their own money.
In an effort to make up a $15-billion deficit and preserve programs such as full-day kindergarten and smaller primary classes, the provincial government early this year asked teachers to accept a wage freeze and cuts to sick days.
Ken Coran, president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, said union members felt cut out of the bargaining process, but the proposed legislation that imposes the province's terms was the biggest insult. He said he has heard from members who intend to withdraw from extracurricular activities such as clubs and sports teams in response.
"I'm getting inundated with e-mails and phone calls from people who say they're fed up. They've put a lot of time and energy into a lot of things that they love doing, which are voluntary, and they're starting to question if that's being appreciated any more," Mr. Coran said.
The teachers' intentions provide a first glimpse of the coming school year. Mr. Coran had warned last week that some teachers might feel frustrated over the process and not want to provide extra services.
Ms. Taylor is among them. She has volunteered to lead school choirs and basketball teams in previous years, but said she is not certain whether she will do so this year. And she is rethinking the $1,000 worth of books, games and activities she bought for her students with her own money.
"There's a part of me that just wants to walk into my classroom and just strip it of all the things that I've personally paid for and just bring them home to give them to my daughter," she said.
Ed Coombs, who teaches Grade 8 at Queen Elizabeth Senior Public School in Mississauga, Ont., said he will no longer stay after school every day to help students with homework. He also won't officiate at the annual soccer tournament, one of his favourite parts of the school year.
"It breaks my heart," he said. "But the eroding of workers' rights really worries me. ... Teachers are being treated really, really badly."
Education Minister Laurel Broten was vague when repeatedly asked about disruptions to the school year as teachers act on their feeling that they are being cheated by the legislation.
"I really want to encourage our teachers to put the interests of the students that they have the privilege of teaching every single day first," she said.
In July, the province reached an agreement with the English Catholic teachers' union, but most school boards and other unions have been reluctant to accept the same terms.
With the school year just days away, the minority Liberal government recalled the legislature two weeks early to introduce legislation that would force the monetary terms of the Catholic contract on the rest of the province's boards, delaying pay raises for young teachers and blocking strikes and lockouts. The bill, which has the support of Conservatives, was debated late into the evening on Wednesday.
Cayla Hochberg is another teacher who feels betrayed by the government's strategy, but said she won't let that affect her students.
"What's happening politically does not translate to my classroom at all," she said.
Ms. Hochberg, who teaches at St. Andrew's Junior High in Toronto, said many teachers are frustrated but she believes that those who are planning to withdraw services are in the minority.
She coaches running and has already been in touch with teachers across north Toronto about the fall.
"The e-mails have already started about the cross-country season and they're business as usual," she said.Report Typo/Error

Pulaski Technical College Converts to Direct Loan Program
Beginning with the Summer I 2010 enrollment term, Pulaski Technical College will convert its federal student loan process to the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct Loan Program) from the Federal Family Education Loan Program.Ā This action is the result of the passage of the student loan reform act.
Passage of this new law will now require all institutions who participate in student lending programs to do so under the Direct Loan Program.Ā Direct Loans go through the U.S. Department of Education and funds come directly from the U.S. Treasury to Pulaski Technical College.Ā
Pulaski Technical College wants to ensure that this transition is as easy as possible for our students and that students receive their loan funds in a timely manner.Ā As a result of this change, all students who borrow loan funds beginning with the Summer I 2010 term, will be required to complete a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note.Ā Students who have previously completed entrance loan counseling at PTC will be considered to have met their loan counseling requirement.Ā Students who will be borrowing for the first time at PTC will be required to complete Entrance Loan Counseling for Direct Loans.Ā
Detailed instructions for completing the Master Promissory Note and Entrance Loan Counseling for Direct Loans are found under the loan procedures section of this Web site.

Honeybees use right antennae to tell friend from foe
Asymmetry in sense of smell alters behavior
By Jessica Shugart, 15:42 PM July 1, 2013
View the video
To avoid a scuffle, a wayward honeybee might do best to stay on a stranger's left. That's because honeybees preferentially use their right antenna to distinguish between compadres and intruders, researchers report June 27 in Scientific Reports.
Scientists knew that the bees' left and right antennae picked up different sensory cues, but the new work makes clear that this asymmetry extends into how bees navigate social situations.
The study also helps scientists understand a "big a...

It is with great sadness that the Board of the Community Agency for Social Enquiry (C A S E) is announcing that after consultations with staff, it ceased its operations as of the 15thMay 2015. The Board and the institution have not dissolved and are engaged in a process of deciding what the future of the organisation should be since the closure of its operations in the form that they were in. This has happened despite and several attempts to turn a poor financial situation around that the organisation found itself in.
In its twenty seven year history C A S E was able to adapt and implement various sustainability strategies that it developed from initially being donor funded to its later years where it almost solely relied on generating fees by providing research services to the Public and Development Sector. During this period C A S E continued to research and document the conditions under which poor black people lived and worked and their organised struggles. A brief history and the projects worked on can be found on its website.
C A S E would like to thank all those who supported the organisation especially the citizens of South Africa who gave freely of their time to engage with the research that the organisation conducted mainly around poverty, inequality and unemployment. We wish to also thank those that funded and commissioned the work and all past Board members . C A S E is proud to be associated with the numerous examples of progressive public policy interventions that were supported by its research and the numerous individualsthat worked at C A S E, many of whom now occupy leadership positions in South Africa.

text: Despite the double-blind, placebo-controlled research behind SeroVital-hgh, some skeptics are saying it sounds too good to be true. So is there a catch? Well, there are three. First, as with hGH injections, SeroVital-hgh is not a "magic bullet" but one part of a healthy lifestyle choice including a sensible diet and exercise regimen. And, just like hGH injections, you have to remember to renew your monthly supply.Second, you have to take SeroVital-hgh on an empty stomach. That means you either have to take it first thing in the morning and then not eat anything for two hours, or take it at night, at least two hours after your last meal... before you go to bed. And last but not least, while SeroVital is far less expensive than prescription hGH injections, it's still not cheap… SeroVital will cost you about $100 a month. But is it worth it? To most people, reducing wrinkles, decreasing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, strengthening bones, boosting mood, while giving you plenty of energy and improving sex drive is a no brainer. However, make no mistake about it, the "established" medical community would say its benefits are largely anecdotal, with research that's preliminary. But there's no denying that something that has a chance of making you look and feel decades, not years, but DECADES younger, is... at the very least... irresistible. The conference, which has been held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, D.C., wraps up today. For more information about the conference visit www.academyofwomenshealth.org. For additional information about SeroVital-hgh, go to www.SeroVital.com or call 1-800-509-6200.

Bordeaux 2012: Ducru, Cos and La Conseillante
Cos d'Estournel, Ducru Beaucaillou and La Conseillante were among the Bordeaux 2012 releases this morning.
Pomerol-based La Conseillante dropped 20% on last year's price from €72 per bottle ex-négocient to €57.6.
One of the biggest names to emerge this morning was leading Saint-Estèphe estate, Cos d'Estournel. Out at €89 p/b, it dropped 18% on last year's €108 p/b, a price for which it was roundly savaged and caused it to become one of the poorest performers of the 2011s.
This cut brings the estate's pricing back onto slightly less ambitious ground, but with a price of £995 a case on Liv-ex, it is still pricier than its 2008 (market price £775), 2006 (market price £840) and 2004 (market price £775).
The same can not be said of Saint Julien property Ducru Beaucaillou, which released at €69.6 p/b, a 7% drop from the 2011 release price of €75 p/b. At roughly £765 a case, it is comfortably cheaper than its back vintages.
Meanwhile, Lagrange came out at €24 p/b, down 10% on 2011 (€26.7 p/b), still up 11% on 2008 (€21.6è).
Margaux second growth, Lascombes, also emerged at €38.4 p/b, an 11% fall on 2011's €43 p/b.
The campaign had slowed again recently as yet another bank holiday occurred in France. The last round of releases was last Thursday when Clinet and Montrose were released.
Although many châteaux have now released, there are still a great many Right Bank names yet to appear as well as some key Left Bank ones.
With a bank holiday here in the UK next Monday, hopefully this week will see a good tranche of releases to keep some sort of momentum going – though, in all likelihood, it is too late.

Here's the little path I would walk home too in Bali at Mandapa. I like all the lime-green floaties in the water around the rice. They are like tiny little leaves that swish around in a Brownian motion. I asked the local rice farmer what they were, and he said they were very bad and slowed down the growth of the rice.

Stem cells hold great potential for addressing a variety of conditions from spinal cord injuries to cancer, but they can be difficult to control.
Scientists are now reporting in the journal ACS Nano a new way to mimic the body's natural approach to programming these cells. Using this method, they successfully directed adult stem cells to turn specifically into muscle, which could potentially help treat patients with muscular dystrophy.

Legaux Added to `Dogs Roster for 2013
Nov. 28, 2012
By Theresa Kurtz
By Theresa Kurtz
FRESNO, Calif. - Head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell announced the addition of Brooke Legaux to the Fresno State volleyball roster for 2013. Legaux signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Bulldogs during the November signing period.
"In a year where we only graduate two - one of whom is an All-Conference setter - Brooke is a key get for us," said Netherby-Sewell. "As soon as we signed her our offense got more sophisticated.

ISLAMORADA -- The newly installed Village Council unanimously reappointed Ken Philipson to the mayor's post last week.
"He's always prepared for the meetings," said new Councilwoman Deb Gillis in nominating Philipson at the Nov. 29 meeting. "He has been partnered very well with the League of Cities and I think that's a great thing, and he cares very deeply about this committee and community."
Philipson took the mayor's gavel in September, when the previous council gave him a brief two-month appointment at the behest of his predecessor, Michael Reckwerdt.
The largely honorary position doesn't come with any more voting power than other council seats. The mayor also assumes no executive authority, with the exception of signing contracts as directed by the full council. Nevertheless, former mayors say the post does bring additional influence, especially in dealings with the state and other local governments. The mayor also chairs Village Council meetings.
With the renomination, Philipson will serve 12 more months as the chair.
Gillis said she believes he'll help build consensus on the council.
Philipson said he plans to try.
"We are a council of five and with five people working together we can get a lot of things done," he said shortly after the vote.
The council unanimously reappointed Ted Blackburn to the vice mayor post, which he too has held since September.
In other action last week, the council agreed to schedule separate workshops in January to discuss possible changes to the village legal department as well as how to make the planning and permitting processes more user-friendly.
New Councilman Mike Forster was the one to formally propose both workshops. But the acquiescence of other council members should have come as no surprise, since the fate of the town's legal representation, as well as issues related to planning efficiency, have already been vetted numerous times in public forums, including during the recent campaign season.
At the workshop on the legal department, the council plans to discuss whether to hire an in-house attorney to replace the Weiss Serota law firm on day-to-day work. Council members have signaled that they plan to stay with Weiss Serota for litigation services.
The council agreed last week to broaden the planning department workshop to include a discussion about the building department as well. Forster also called for Village Manager Ed Koconis to give up his planning director portfolio, which he retained when he was promoted to manager two years ago.
None of the other council members commented on that suggestion.
Koconis said that he and his staff have already begun working on ideas to speed up the planning and permitting processes.
The dates for the workshops will be scheduled next month.
Also, last week, the council voted on final passage of an ordinance to legalize, but regulate, restaurants that wish to allow dogs in outdoor areas. The license fee will be $100, with an annual renewal fee of $50.

Book Review: The Dark Knight Manual
Posted on Monday, June 25 @ 12:50:57 PST by Daniel BischoffIn the lead up to highly-anticipated movie, you get all kinds of crap flooding the shelves, aiming for your hard-earned hype-dollars. Action figures, party supplies, tighty-whities, the list goes on and on. If people can sell it, you can bet it'll get branded.
Super hero movies are no different. I'm sure you can remember the Avengers and their attack on everything from pizzas to purses (except video games, no Avengers video games). It seems like Batman will be getting the same treatment in the lead up to The Dark Knight Rises, but how can you wade through the mountains of crap and come out on the other side with something that lets you celebrate your fandom, instead of bemoan it.
Enter The Dark Knight Manual from Insight Editions.
Remember when you were a kid and you'd get those pop-up books with the Ninja Turtles in them? This is a grownup's pop-up book. Every inch of this book is covered in bits of information and awesome fold-outs, pull-outs, and... well, just take a look at the video above to see what I mean.
Utilizing stills and production materials from Christopher Nolan's movies, The Dark Kinght Manual is a deep dive into the real world application of Batman and his rogue's gallery. What makes Nolan's films so enticing and entrancing is put to paper here.
Starting with the Wayne double murder and ending with The Joker, the Manual is a tome of all things Batman and the way Nolan and company have attacked the mythos in a way that brings the characters to life in the real world.
As a fan, I couldn't really expect more from an excellent coffee table book. Written in Bruce Wayne's inner monologue, each page is covered with notes on the subject at hand. On The Cave, Wayne writes:
Perhaps more important than the text is the way gadgets are broken down and detailed at every inch. Wayne Enterprises Applied Science Division markups are littered throughout the book. Each showcases another item in Batman's arsenal.
The Tumbler alone gets a dedicated 12 pages. A sticky note on one pages lists the specifications: 2.5 tons, ~200MPH top speed, 0-60MPH in 2.9 seconds....
I could go on, but as someone who actually owns a coffee table at this point his life, The Dark Kinght Manual has booted long-standing staple The Sounds of Science to the book shelf. It's incredibly extensive, detailed, and even future-proofed with details on gadgets and villains from The Dark Knight Rises.
The Dark Knight Manual is 112 pages, hardcover, and available now. There are more than 35 removable inserts and dossiers. The list price is $40.00, but you can head to Amazon right now and get it for just $25.60. If you're as excited as I am for The Dark Knight Rises, you'd better jump on that.

I called Golden Bee Products 504.737.3901 today to get some information on their suits. I see the ads in ABJ and Bee Culture every month and would like to know more about them from someone who has used the product. According to Golden Bee they are the state of the art, best on the market and everyone who is anybody uses it, and I should have seen one by now. I am just wondering how well (comfortable) an AHB proof 1/4 thick polyester, pvc, suit with three zippers, tie string ankle, velcro wrist over the glove suits really are for $200?
Anyone out there have one?
Thanks, Bill

Slider works but no image displayed
Can you give me the site? I can suggest to see the videos for more detailed istructions, but if you refere to homepage slider, you have to: - Create a slider (under the slider post type on the left) - upload an image (is a custom field not a featured image) - publish it - Go in the QantumThemes Admin Panel (under Appearance) - Go in the Home tab - Enable the slider - Optionally: go in the slider tab anche choose some options
Remember that only the twitter slider is responsive, the other one (Nivo) will be hide in mobile browsers

Demo site not working
Sorry hosting is making changes and i recived a huge increase of traffic since i published this theme, i'm making an upgrade. To have another preview please visit: http://www.aaronmillsdj.com
New demo websites are coming soon
Looks great. I really look forward to working with it soon. It would be good if it integrated with WooCommerce? or does it integrate with a shop plugin already?
Hi, i never tried but integrating with an e-commerce plugin was already my next development plan. Plus a very huge social integration to help owners in the online PR work. If you want to try to use woocommerce or other plugins and tell me the result i can start working on it or help you to integrate it!
Great plugin, i purchased it yesterday, but i didn't realize one important factor to me:
How can possibly add category filter for the releases? I really need this to be able to use the theme.
Looking forward to your help.
Hi, giving you an answer in few hours, thanks. Let's say it is possible but actually release categories ar same as posts categories. I will create a custom taxonomy for releases so you can use them to filter releases ok? And still preserve release archive visualization
Gat it.. Thanks alot!
hi did you download the latest version with categories for releases and podcasts? Note: after the upgrade refresh the permalinks and if using SEO permalinks use this as custom structure: / category / postname / and not only / postname /
New version available. Please contact us in private for it.
I'm trying to view the live view but I cannot see a live demo of the theme. Please Help!!!!!!
Sorry i'm making a hosting upgrade i have too much traffic. Instead you can watch: http://www.aaronmillsdj.com it is not a full features preview but you can have a clue.
Demo doesn't work. Shame really, I was interested in this theme.
Sorry i'm making a hosting upgrade i have too much traffic. Instead you can watch: http://www.aaronmillsdj.com it is not a full features preview but you can have a clue. I'm preparing also a demo on a new server.Here there is a customer's website, consider he is still working on it and it has some customizations (like he didn't want it to be responsive so is fixed width) http://www.shinshy-records.com/
PS. which problem do you experience in the demo site? Does it stuck on load?
It seems the whole provider (netsons) is experiencing some problems. Please try so look it in few hours…
check now please
I sent you a private message regarding the update, but haven't got a response yet, can you please get me that?
We will like to complete our project.
Hi, you can redownload the project you purchased from your themeforest page, the new version has been released
Thank you.
Can you please specify exactly which files was modified or added? We have customized the theme to meet our needs, so re-uploading everything will mess up everything we have done so far.
Looking forward to your kind response.
I was able to figure it.
But when i go to the genre link it doesn't filter, it shows all releases together, even though they have different genres assigned.. did i miss any file? i only re-uploaded "custom-types" folder and the 2 "taxonomy" files.
Also how would it be possible to add the genres list as a widget just like the categories sidebar widget?
Never mind, i fixed the first question regarding genres sort, i forgot some files.. it works perfect.. Great job!
Now am left with having release genres list as a widget just like the categories sidebar widget.. Could you please help with it?
Sorry i didnt answered fast, i promise i will help you with customizations, you have great ideas. When finished, if you want feel free to suggest the website for the demo list
trying to save change on the Qantum Admin Panel and this is the error i receive:
Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /homepages/22/d279350397/htdocs/jperry/site/wp-content/themes/labelpro/admin/adminindex.php on line 127

Ok, it has something to do with your hosting. We can resolve it but i need to check a solution. You have some security restrictions or maybe you deleted files in the "/fonts" folder?
Ok, this is the problem:
URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration
Your hosting has blocked this in php.ini: allow_url_fopen
The solution is that if you have curl enabled i can make an alternative file for you and we can fix it.
if the curl extension is installed it will work for you. If not, replace the new file with the old and go to solution 2:
SOLUTION 2: contact your hosting provider and ask to set allow_url_fopen = On on php.ini
This will also fix the twitter widget. No other solution is now possible for the twitter widget at the moment, sorry. You can use other twitter widgets from wordpress repository.
SOLUTION 3: If no solutions works for you, please consider changing hosting provider, because it is a little limiting for the theme.I can anyway give you an extreme solution, disabling the font function: Download this: http://www.qantumthemes.com/lp/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/adminindex.nocurl.nofget.zip And proceed as the solution 1
FontFace won't be available. Sorry but hosting limitations means limitations for wordpress.
Hope it helped. Have a good day!
SOLUTION 1, work for the admin, but for twitter i used an alternate plugin.
Now, i wonder if it possible to have all my RELEASE to be play on the top player, not to be downloadable.
The same javascript that send PODCAST on the top player, i would like to have it on each LATEST or SINGLE RELEASE play button.
Hi, i tested your website with ie and chrome and any release play button is actually played on the top player. You have only a problem with the mp3 of PLANE (KANAVAL 2012) because you have brackets in the mp3 url. All other mp3 plays fine
thx, it's work, the issue was from a software on my computer.
np have fun! Great music my best wishes 4 your career! PS. i will release some amazing softwares to better integrate and automate your website with social networks, so stay tuned if you are intrested
Lovely theme!Is it possible to put itunes,amazon,etc links instead of buy now on the release page?
yes it is, please list me the websites you would like to use not any website in the world, the realistic selection of the top 5-6 websites) please. I can add some custom fields on the release page where you can add the url and they will display the icon.
And please use the official support e-mail provided with the theme manual for further assistance, thanks!
hey how do I change the text color of the text where it says latest releases to white?
can you please link me the page?
Hi, I want to buy this theme if i can make it ecommerce? Is it compatible with woocommerce??
Hi i did not try. For sure i will soon make an integrtion with woocommerce but is not a fast work, so i think i need at least a month.

On This Page:
Moodle provides many communications tools. This overview will help you learn about the strengths and limitations of each tool and when you might choose to use it.
The News Forum
The News Forum is a unique forum that acts as an announcements tool for your Moodle course. It appears by default in the top section of your course homepage and is related to the Latest News block. By default, only instructors and TAs can post to the News Forum.
For more, see Use the Moodle News Forum for Announcements.
The Quickmail block, added by default to new Moodle courses, allows instructors and TAs (and students, if the instructor allows) to send emails to course members from Moodle. Instructors who use Moodle may find Quickmail a convenient alternative to setting up a Class Email List in SPIRE.
Moodle will also send notification emails to inform users of particular activities such as a new post on the News forum.
Instructors who don't use Quickmail can send emails to course members through the Participants screen, accessed via the Settings block.
For more, see Email in Moodle.
Moodle Profile Settings
Every Moodle user has the ability to control how they receive email notifications from Moodle. Your Moodle profile settings control your default email digest and forum subscription settings, as well as whether or not your email address is visible to other users (who may still be able to send you email from the course, but without seeing your email address).
For more information about customizing your profile preferences, refer to Edit Your Moodle Profile & Personal Settings.
Discussion Forums
Instructors and students can communicate and collaborate on Moodle using Forums, sometimes called "discussions." Instructors can create topics or, depending on the forum type, allow students to create topics to which course members can post a reply.
For descriptions of the various types of forums and instructions on how to set one up in your course, see Setting Up Forums in Moodle.
To use a participation report to see if students have viewed forums and how many times they have posted, see Use Reports to Track Student Activity in Moodle.
Note: Forums can be set to allow (or force) ccourse members to receive email copies of new posts (called subscribing). See Manage Email Notifications in Moodle for Instructors or for Students.
The Upcoming Events Block & Calendar Block
The Upcoming Events and Calendar blocks help you and your students to keep track of due dates and other important events in your course. When you add an activity with a due date to a Moodle course, the due date it is automatically added to the course calendar. The Upcoming Events blocks lists events approaching on the calendar.
For more, see The Upcoming Events and Calendar Blocks in Moodle.
Use Checklist Activities to Help Students Track Required Work
The Moodle Checklist module allows teachers to create a "to do" list for students to work through and provides an easy visual representation of what has been accomplished so far. With a Checklist, teachers can monitor progress as students complete items on the list, and students can see a progress bar showing the percentage of the items they have completed.
For more, see Add a Checklist Activity in Moodle.
Group Communication & Collaboration Spaces
While instructors can easily use activities in Moodle to deliver content and assess learning, Moodle also supports student-led activities and collaboration. In addition to forums, you can make use of the group, wiki, and chat features of Moodle to facilitate collaboration.
For more information and suggestions for effective use of these features, see Group Communication & Collaboration Spaces in Moodle.

Can Australian local government play a meaningful role in the development of social capital in disadvantaged rural communities?
Worthington, Andrew C. & Dollery, Brian E. (2000) Can Australian local government play a meaningful role in the development of social capital in disadvantaged rural communities? Australian Journal of Social Issues, 35(4), pp. 349-361.
|PDF (66kB)
There is now widespread acceptance of the critical role social capital and its attendant dimension of a 'sense of place' can play in nurturing poor rural communities and in reversing the current trend towards growing regional economic and social disparities. Although state and federal governments can undoubtedly assist in the accumulation of social capital in poor rural communities, it has been persuasively argued that local communities themselves hold the key to the health of peripheral rural and provincial areas. The question thus arises as to whether local government can indeed foster the development of social capital given its present range of functions. This forms the subject matter of this paper.

Company news: HBA and Cardinal Health; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Spyglass; Cochrane
Efficacy, not safety has come between Bristol-Myers Squibb and its experimental Alzheimer's treatment, avagacestat. The company has decided to abandon the Phase II drug, reported Bloomberg Tuesday. The drug targeted plaques, and Bloomberg noted that the company remains committed to tackling beta amyloids as a solution pathway.
Nurses aren't big on iPads, or tablets as a whole, according to a survey of more than 100 acute care nurses by the consulting group Spyglass, reported MobiHealth News. The study found that the reason behind the nurses' disdain for tablets included durability issues, infection control and limited data entry. As a kicker, MobiHealth added that a quarter of the polled nurses were also unhappy with their facilities' wireless networks. Despite the connectivity issues, Spyglass found that 45% of clinicians use mobiles to collect bedside data, up from 30% last year. They also found that they were also increasingly using camera phones to capture patient data.
Texting isn't just good for helping new moms. It's also good for helping smokers become ex-smokers, according to studies published by the Cochrane Collaboration, reported NPR. Like Text4Baby, the texting programs polled contacted subscribers with tips. In this case, the program set a series of motivational advice, tips and video links throughout the day. The program also included customized information, with the authors noting that subscribers could text "Crave" and receive strategies to resist the urge to smoke, such as taking a walk or grabbing a snack. Researchers estimated the programs "increased the chance of quitting in at least six months – from four to five percent in control groups, to between 6 and 10 percent in the texting groups."
