Canada – Japan Partnership Supports Technology Commercialization and Research
July 12, 2011 — Edmonton, Alberta
Thanks to an international collaboration, Canadian companies will now have access to a uniquely configured transmission electron microscope, the first of its kind outside of Japan. It is one of three new microscopes unveiled by the Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, and the Honourable Greg Weadick, Minister of Alberta Advanced Education and Technology, at the official opening of the Hitachi Electron Microscopy Products Centre (HEMiC) at the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) in Edmonton, Alberta.
"Innovation is the key to growing our economy, and this project will allow businesses to capitalize on the benefits of nanotechnology," said the Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification. "That translates to more jobs and more opportunities throughout our communities."
The $15 million partnership expands NINT's electron microscope capacity and capabilities, and will allow it to assist more Canadian companies in using nanotechnology for their products and processes. Partnering with Hitachi High Technologies will further support the development, evaluation and commercialization of NINT microscope innovations.
"Alberta's strength in nanotechnology is growing on every front from research to commercialization," said Greg Weadick, Minister of Advanced Education and Technology. "The Hitachi Electron Microscopy Products Centre is a place where talented people can push the boundaries of research, where companies can develop products and where graduate students can learn using the most advanced microscopes. This is the Alberta Innovates system in action."
To celebrate the innovative partnership, Hitachi High Technologies' chairman Dr. Hidehito Obayashi travelled from Japan to join the Ministers. The company, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, strives to manufacture and trade advanced technology.
"The Centre is a testimony to the close relationship between Hitachi and the National Institute for Nanotechnology," said Ian Cotton, President of Hitachi High Technologies Canada. "Hitachi is pleased to witness the Centre's opening and we are looking forward to bringing innovations made here to market in the near future."
Financial contributions to the project were made by Hitachi High Technologies Canada, Western Economic Diversification Canada, Alberta Advanced Education and Technology, Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures, the University of Alberta, and the National Research Council of Canada.

Selection of project procurement methods in the consumer electronics industry : a Hong Kong study
Ng, W.K., Zillante, George, Chan, Albert, Zuo, Jian, & Xia, Bo (2012) Selection of project procurement methods in the consumer electronics industry : a Hong Kong study. International Journal of Procurement Management, 5(3), pp. 289-315.
6-month embargo period
(PDF 410kB)
Accepted Version.
Under pressure from both the ever increasing level of market competition and the global financial crisis, clients in consumer electronics (CE) industry are keen to understand how to choose the most appropriate procurement method and hence to improve their competitiveness. Four rounds of Delphi questionnaire survey were conducted with 12 experts in order to identify the most appropriate procurement method in the Hong Kong CE industry. Five key selection criteria in the CE industry are highlighted, including product quality, capability, price competition, flexibility and speed. This study also revealed that product quality was found to be the most important criteria for the "First type used commercially" and "Major functional improvements" projects. As for "Minor functional improvements" projects, price competition was the most crucial factor to be considered during the PP selection. These research findings provide owners with useful insights to select the procurement strategies.

Where I stayed
After spending a few days in Panama, it's even better to be in another foreign country! Just two weeks ago, I would never really been past Illinois or Ohio. Now, I am discovering the world in a whole new light. We are here in Helsinki, Finland, where it's not quite so warm, but it is still nice. It is really different. The weather is about the same - about 45 degrees in November. We're here to learn about the Helsinki Accords.
The Helsinki Accords were also known as the Helsinki Final Act and was an effort to reduce tension between the Soviet Union and Western blocs by confirming their acceptance of Europe's post-World War II status. The Accords were not binding and they did not have a treaty status
This treaty is important in that it provided a sense of peace for those in Europe in even the United States. Without this treaty, another war could have broken out. Things today would not have been the same in that more violence would be around. I, as an American citizen, really appreciate the act that Gerald Ford committed.
I advise Obama or Romney to sign treaties to keep peace, but only if necessary. When there is an opportunity to add, bind, or commit peace, we should jump to that. I honestly believe that the more allies that we have, the better. We will stand a better chance in case of war or other tragedy. We will never know when things can go wrong and peace could save that from going wrong.
Now, Tukea, Cody and I are off to tour downtown. We hope to find some form of the Accords - whether it is a copy or an original, we do not mind. We are very excited and hope you are as well!

|Home > National News > Issues > Bali Terror > Article
Lorraine Atkin says her son Dale is a "phoneaholic", which explains why she was woken at 7.30am on Sunday. "Don't ask me how he did it because we were in Batemans Bay on holiday."
The phone message - via a network of family and friends - was that Dale, 27, had been hurt in a bombing in Bali only hours after arriving on the island.
Yesterday, he was recovering in intensive care at the Alfred Hospital after a second skin graft operation. Mrs Atkin said Dale wanted his family and friends to know he was safely in Australia, although his injuries were serious.
"I think he is very happy to be back and that's what kept him going," Mrs Atkin said.
"He hasn't been able to remember a lot, given that the condition he has been in has been serious," she said. "He has had a couple of operations for skin grafts. It will take a couple of days for him to get things out."
So far, Dale, self-employed from Hallam, remembers drinking at Paddy's Bar, then going to the Sari Club, she said. About 20 minutes later the bomb went off and Dale crawled out with friend Travis Barton, who suffered less serious injuries. "They were mates before and now they are even better mates."
Dale and Travis flew to Bali on Saturday, a day ahead of about 16 teammates from the Yarra Junction second division reserves, because not enough seats were available on the flight the next day.

Libya says may give oil deals to China, India
Libya may award contracts directly to new partners instead of using open bidding process.
Tripoli: Libya is considering offering oil block contracts directly to China, India and other nations it sees as friends in its month-long conflict with rebels, Libya's top oil official said on Saturday.
Oil companies have pulled out staff and shut operations in the country, formerly Africa's third-largest producer, due to the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi's rule, leading to a sharp reduction in output.
National Oil Corporation Chairman Shukri Ghanem, speaking about future projects, said Libya was considering awarding contracts directly to new partners instead of using its more traditional open bidding process.
"We will be looking at giving direct block contracts to countries ready to come and work in the country, because we want to increase production," he said.
He said Libya would look into the possibility of working closer with partners such as India, China, Brazil and others in the future but gave no details.
Ghanem said, however, that the government would honour all existing contracts with Western firms and called on foreign workers to return to help restore output.
"It's not our intention to violate any of these agreements," he told reporters in Tripoli.
"Of course, as you know, production has declined drastically because of the dramatic events," he added.
He said crude production had fallen to less than 400,000 barrels per day from 1.6 million before the crisis. He warned that oil exports might halt altogether if output is not restored.
"We will be able to restore most fields but we need the foreign workforce to come back ... We call on them to send back their workers," he said.
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has taken a tougher stance on Western oil companies. He said earlier this month that Germany was the only Western power that had a chance of doing business with Libyan oil in the future.

Lapis lazuli mines with wide blue eyes
bringing to mind precious stones and
caramel scones; innocent and wise -
Wondering, yet without surprise.
Staring down the universe, a challenge
in your look though you are young;
The earth made only nine revolutions
since you came out to see the sun.
Unguarded and arched, your brows
betray high wire tension; enough
to light up a hundred moons and warm
plump cheeks to cherry bubble gum.
Be not impatient to grow; you smell
of open grasshopper meadows
and firefly lighted lakeshore walks.
You're a mother's envy and pride.
Red lips! Your passion for life exists.
Scarlet, lipstick would be a surfeit -
Today as then till many summer's been,
your spirit will always be free as the mist.

Before the abyss, I had it all
Letting go of all I see
My friend, I hope our time won't end
It took a short time for you to notice
Without knowing who I am
We talked, we became friends
Connecting the dots, missing every line
Connect them and figure me out
Randomly it comes your way
Underneath a never known chemistry
Ask me to stay and I may
Grinding your teeth into my way
Cut out my eyes, and store them up
A tongueless mouth, nothing to say
Maybe by tomorrow you will forget
Losing myself in my own conversation
Hiding behind my one big regret
Don't know, Don't care
You had me open up
A book I closed, knowledge lost
No need to see
A mystery called deception
What I am cannot be seen with the naked eye
Along came you using your *ucked* up perception
The ability you miss use
making sense of this connection
A process you carry with your own patterns
You asked, you listened, without making assumptions
A taste to take off my shoulders,
To release an error locked in my Asylum
I myself am enjoying the insights about him
He's got me convince, using his perception

The Color Missing
Red, black, and blue are the colors of our work pens. Red is the color of the blood we spill on other people's mistakes. Blue is the color of the songs we sing on tax forms or pay stubs- every page has a secret melody. Black is the color of the streets we fear most. Black is the color of our signature of approval. Black is the color of our death.
'But what about the Green pens?' I ask. They say 'the ink is too hard to see.'

The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.

Enter a storybook tale
Where I can be
The heroine you hail
Lucid dreams of soft reflection
A touch heated with lust and desired protection
A breathe a gasp as we succeed
Join the fairytale with me
Valiant night within dark eyes
the right movement and I make them shine
like moonlight on the steamy hot spring
care to follow for a little dip with me
Trailing like the water at my fingertips
Grasp me around my hips
As close as the breeze on my skin
Whisper lies as I let you in
Lips mumbling up my thighs
bare heart exposed to the sky
fire burning in my veins
Am I a mistress of this lust or simply a slave
Trembling with desire
Take me till we've lost count of the hours
enter this storybook tale
Where I can be the heroine you hail

A fate foretold
Since the beginning of time
Master of time,
And feared by many.
Some say your power is a curse
Some a blessing
Emancipator of souls,
Bestow freedom
On my poor soul.
Trapped in this prison of torture
Called a body,
Which places limits on my true potential
I understand you,
Hiding behind broken hearts
Are benevolent intentions,
A noble purpose
Bringer of peace,
You give rest
to those tired.
You free those soldiers
Trapped in a game of kings
A dark artist.
I see the beauty in your work.
With your scythe
You paint a masterpiece,
With your scythe
You write a magnificent tragedy.
You are the perfect ending
To our tragic story

The Warrior
My pencil is my sword
My eraser is my shield
And when I go to war
My paper is my battlefield
When life is to much
This is how I express the way I feel
And so I write such words
As murder, stab, kill
When people read these words
Misunderstanding they think I'm insane
But this is just how I vent
All my anger, frustration and pain
People that don't know me
Think I look like a bad man
The people that say they do know me
Think I live the life of a madman
All of these things
Circling in my head
Sometimes I have to wonder
Would I be better off dead
I used to be a somebody
And my reputation would reflect
That I used to be a person
To look up to and respect
But now you can see
By the trembling in my hands
That all I am these days
Is a tired, broken man

I can see Heaven clearly whilst gazing deeply in your eyes now,
Where the sweet caramel melts deliciously into heartbeats pure.
The radiant light of our eternal love dwells deep within our hearts,
As our souls are captivated by God's aura of divine enchantment.
A nirvana fills our destiny as passionate lovers kissing softly so,
Mesmerized by the enraptured emotions we forever shareth as one.
A wild wondrous wallflower you are—shining now ever brightly,
As that angelic spirit in mortal presence on Earth by God's hand.
Dearest one I sayeth truly now my supreme goddess thou art,
As we holdeth one another in an ardent embrace by God's grace.
The fiery passion of our forever love is a pure beam of silken starlight,
Which bathes the darkest depths of the cosmos in a heavenly radiance.
What more can two people hope for in this world of finite limitations?
Our shared love and rich emotions form the destiny we seek with God.

strong and bold.
He'd give you the shirt off of his back.
He had a rough life
growing up through the depression,
but like he always does,
he got through it.
He has two boys, of whom he is so proud.
Moved from Regina, to Victoria.
He had the best life anyone his age could have wanted.
But ever since his wife died,
he has not been the same.
But like he has always done,
he got through it.
Mind slipping,
just a little forgetful.
That's how it always starts out...
But like always, he powered through it,
until now...
He is not the same person that I used to know.
He been sentenced to the prison in his own mind.
Possessed by the thoughts of his dogs ashes.
He likes to play the blame game,
but we know he doesn't remember that it was him.
He wakes up in the night
shaking with pain,
tears streaming down his face.
There is nothing we can do,
Oh well...
Two more tylenol.
Hold on to hope
for as long as you can,
It's only a matter of time now.
He gets vocal, a very loud tone.
He'll block you in your room
and make false accusations
But we know that it's the pain induced monster in him.
Tick tock, tick tock...
You can't handle the stress anymore
you have to leave.
Just hope for the best,
maybe it will get better.
Surprise, it doesn't.
Your denial is foolish, everyone knows
what happens next.

Some poetry is never written but walked
Some ink can never paint a feeling perfectly
I mean
An evil walk of a glorified angel
Poetry walks for our hearts
We hold the power
To make sense of our pictures
Some how
Poetry is never written but experienced
No A4 can define a man's tears
Tears of rage in a page
A tear planted by memories of a bee bite
Small bites come in bigger motives
Calculating a man's brave height
I mean
Bees target patience hidden in our Godly given smiles
Poetry runs kilomiters to keep our ears boiling
We ignore the meaning to question the rhythm
No A4 can age a man's real life in a page
Stage or no stage
Some poetry is far from pages close to our eyes
Eyes that see blindfolded missions before missions twist visions
Visions in poetry exercise telescopic sights
I mean
A software designed to keep humans away from evil sites
Poetry is a snipper rifle set in a distant light for a battle fight
The accurate placement of a writer's thoughts speaking rights
Stage or no page
Some poetry is never spoken
Poetry speaks in tongues when hearts are broken
It does
cook words before your corrupted ovens singing changeable change
Plan and change but never change your plans
I mean
If you change your changes your meanings will change other people's feelings
Poetry speak feelings to change life's meanings
Lazy but words holds the power to give us strength
It's the meaning behind meanings of a meaning
From a snipper sitting on the rooftop site of Mount knowledge
I mean
We see things beyond identity's changes
To change directions of a deadly plan
Just maybe
Maybe poetry means
You and me
Some poetry is never written
A Queen's voice on my poetry changes your reaction
Concrete keys on some brains with her voice
I mean
The unseen is never seen unless the affection is heard
Clean armpits dont always smell truth in poetry
Plan your changes and never change to plan

Sometimes I admire the littlest things
A simple rock. A blade of grass.
They need no future goals, no tax exemptions
They don't need to go anywhere or be anything
They just are.
Sometimes, especially when I'm reading life insurance policies,
I envy the rocks and the grass
And try to be like them for a moment.
I sit perfectly still and give myself to the wind-
And it whispers in my ear:
Just be.
And for that moment I don't need to go anywhere or be anything.
And at the snap of my fingers,
All the complex widgets and gizmos that make up my life
Fold into paper airplanes and fly off in the wind.
Jacob Reinhardt
I hide here and there,
In a place that snares,
Sometimes full of my blares,
Full of ensnared traps...
I hide here and there,
In a place with many affairs,
Where my enemies are bare,
Where I can make them flee and hare...
I hide here and there,
In a place that only friendship knows,
A place located in the air,
A place below on earth,
Where no plow can cut its soil...
I hide here and there,
In a place with vast plains,
A place with deep and misty forests,
A place with an unreachable sky,
A place where flowers might bloom...
I hide here and there,
In a place where I can hide in my cloak,
A place where I breathe silently,
A place where I contemplate nature,
Where humidity longly persists,
In a place where I scream and no one listens...
I hide and there,
In a place where unwanted can get afflicted,
A place of bright darkness,
A place of dark lights,
Where nothing owns me...
I hide here and there,
In a place where my biggest wishes are spared,
A place where blood won't be splashed,
A place where tears might be shed,
A place where time and space are fair,
A place with some mare surfaces,
Where fear might be gone...
In a place where all sins might be forgiven,
A place where my instinct is tamed,
A place where my mind is thoughtful but reserved,
A place where my heart is controlled,
The place where my deepest secrets are held,
The place where I am the seer,
The place where my soul will forever reign,
The place I can call a hiding place...

The Beach of Promises
Fingers entwined, barely touching,
turquoise waters teasing your dancing toes,
strolling along that serene deserted beach,
our promised dreams within aching reach.
Hands clasped, holding on,
sea-breezes tickling the nape of your neck,
walking together, alone, vowing to never breach,
the dreams dreamed on that faraway velvet beach.
Hands in my pockets, alone,
traces of you linger, teasing,
lost in my scribbles, your memory fading out of reach,
my thoughts ablaze, now and then,
catching a whiff of your fragrance,
wafting through alleyways of nostalgia,
your hand in mine on our pristine beach.

A new photograph floats to the surface
Playfully dressing up as the world around me
Hat, striped socks and all
Tiptoeing at the top for one last sweet moment
Before sinking back into my ocean mind.
One after another they arrive
Single file,
Steeping my eyes in the world
As the minds shutter, ever fluttering
Strings together this conscious stream I play in.
My photographs fade in time's wrinkled arms.
Joining their brothers and sisters at the ocean floor,
They hold hands and try to answer the question that is always asking itself:
Who am I?
Jacob Reinhardt
Though questions queued up in my attention's pages I am an animal
I am that gorilla dream your bird flew over to shadow his series of dreams
The greasy mechanic patching up beyond repair words
Spare words kept safe for friendly evil skies rushing backdoor love bites
Mastered the equations of divorce math problems at the wrong age
Love had unfamiliar taste
Time and aging became my trusted school
In the jungle of death a mother got lost
She could not find her way back from headache's hidden post
Heavens assured me it's for angelic reasons
In and out of heaven season
I designed myself for her, Not reasons
Crawled Walked and wheel chaired multiple plausible lanes
Took no break my courage was on steroids
Feathers were too bright for a cage
Dreams turned into food for haters
Stumbled and rumbled obstacles like the soloist
Lips broke up with fear the relationship was always on tears.
Personality fought automated choices
Wrong turns came in hateful traffic
House of brain always furnished with useless opinions addicted to escapism
With no entrance fee or sign-in brutality
I entered poetry's galaxy
Six minute poetry taste became a lifetime bite penalty
Met a queen at the right age
Slapped my sleepy respect for female age
Page by page scrutinized love for her boss instructions
Acting bossy pissing all dirt brought from the past cruises
Till then I still wonder where I get all this ideas
She passes all preset exams
Questions I live with no answers
Where do I get all this ideas
The real me still wonders
In the jungle on Africa
I prefer scary dreams

The Rose innocent white, soft pink, yellows
colors touch your soul vibrant red to amethyst
enhances beauty yet a thorn awaits to break skin
as life does piercing your heart with a thin pin.
My life has shed drops of blood through each petal
as if in return for the love and beauty you feel
hence pain underneath patiently waits the bloodletting ~
The rose symbolizes love yet vulnerable to hold
for when you open your heart it can be left bleeding
The best of surgeons can not beat your heart
It is the inner faith and God himself whom gives strength
whispers in your ear you shall live you will exist
your life meaningful as the water and sun to the rose
For I am your God your existence is not over yet .
You must Live ~You must Bloom

Goddess of Mars and of
all things desolate
I chart desperate needs
I measure hatred
Alone in a red filled
valley of despair
Hot winds lift and
spiral my hair
I am not there
I am the barest whisper
My talons scrape the blue
confines of heaven
while my dark- star constellations
spin in fatal, frozen orbits
I am not there - nor is infinity

Locked within godless rooms
Sealed in vaults of megre immagination
Can you hear the words?
It's not enough
Unable to grasp metaphor
They wither
Minds mirror plastic flowers
Lifeless without growth
Petals lacking vital scent
Too many wild verses;
Lay trapped within closed minds
A scripture's message naught
but bones of righteous intent
They cannot see past black & White
The visions a pen can paint for thought
Lost within preconception
Beauty flounders in dogma's grasp
Between the lines;
Forgotten ashes
The day metaphor died

If there is one thing I remember
It is what life told
Just open your eyes
All that glisters may not be gold
So who is to blame and whose fault I hold
The halo effect, the one in disguise
Manifesting deception in front of thy eyes
Treat one different because of their look
Why read? Judge the cover of the book?
But you do read others because they don't have the look
If you understand, how long has it took?
The halo effect, we magnify a trait
Condone the flaws, we magnify a trait
Attractiveness, is this what you mean?
All this talk, my perception a feign?
What I see, aint what it seem?
Huh, thanks for this, as well as that.
The halo effect, my mind was hacked.

I once was like a catipiller young,naive,and new
Always living from my heart not knowing what
else to do.Easy to take advantage of, that is
just the case, people would walk over me
like I was their dirty used up suitcase.
Now I feel a newness coming, like a light
shining from the sky, colors fill my world
and I know I am blooming into a butterfly.
Purple,Pink, Blue and Green I can feel them
flowing through. Colors of the rainbow raising
me into full bloom. Wise and strong I am becoming
My faith leads me where I need to go giving me
insight and wiseness for only me to know.
I have not done this on my own you see
I have been guided by God and Angels
on this Earth. Wise words the wisdom at
it's best comes from a wise lady who
seems to know me best. Lucky, I am
to have her in my life, she always shoots
it straight and tells me like it is, knowing
her words touch my heart and gives me tons of faith..
I feel like flying through the sky or climbing
a tree way up high. I feel like observing the
world just like a brand new butterfly so as I
Bloom I become Anew something unlike the past
Smart and wise beautiful on the inside and outside
a touch of color here a touch of color there
makes me glow and become a beautiful blooming butterfly...

And the storm calls to me in ways you'll never understand
A gentle call that urges my soul forth
The lighting guiding a path for my feet to walk
Between the stones and ash of all that once was
I stand in the echoing silence of the rain
It drops down upon my skin like the blessing waters of heaven
Soothing me, lifting the weight from my body
I feel at once as if I am home
Standing amid two dimensions
Caught between two skies - here and there
The night wraping around me in warmth
The gentle wind lifting me off my feet
Drops from the clouded moon washing away my body
and I am left just a soul, an essence
The storm calls me forth from beneath my roof
Beckoning me into its depth
I stand among the reeds in the basin
They dance and sway as if welcoming me
And I sway with them back
Caught up in the power that charges the air
That threatens to sweep me away
If the ground will just loosen its hold
The thunder rumbles a low welcoming growl
And I get pleasently lost within it
I am so small compared to its vastness
I close my eyes and succumb to the skies wishes
Rising higher until my feet no longer touch the ground
My fingertips touch the liquid color of the stars
A sigh drifts from my lips
There is no need of thought to stay afloat
There is no demand to breathe in air
No crushing weight upon my chest
As my lungs struggle to survive
There are no struggles here
I make my bed on blackened clouds
And give in to the call
The storm has claimed me as its own
It was such a struggle to stay upon the ground
When the storm would call me home

i could sit here. day in and day out
thinking of the most proper way
to let the ink in the pen spill out
but as of late im feeling prehistoric
so much weight on my shoulders
and i dont know where to go
resuscitate my soul
look back up and head to the goal
so much evil around. i feel like the devils workin double shifts just to bring me down.
on the road to redemption
you can take a seat up in the front section
just so you can feel the emotions
in this electric notion
i've done a lot of things that hide the halo
let it all collaborate when i medicate
now look at me, mind workin like plato
formulate a new path to take so i can
maneuver through all the mistakes
we all know we cant change what we've already made
but we can change the next thing we create
startin to sound like a serenity prayer
5 steps till im thirty
and the twenty four before i was never a player
found out when the lights came back on im strictly a lover
its the strongest drink for your soul, when its thirsty
so careful how much you intake or be left hungover
even worse be the one she ran over
i dont mean to come off like im too deep
but the obstacles made there way through just to scrape through
and leave me suffocating
just for me to re-invent a new way to breathe, re-decorating
is your life so complicated
you rather wet up your pillows and revoke from the life you live
just think of your kids mourning
theyll never see that pretty face in the morning any more
cheer your self up
you got a lot to live for
your a gem and im that friend
trynna appraise the value
that you dont see inside of you
just another day for him
goin about
searchin wonderin what his purpose is
running in circles
till he found a way through all the turbulence

Their petals are falling as their colors change
It wasn't this way before but is it strange?
These roses are dying in delicate sweet sorrow
Will their love shed too? Or will it see tomorrow?
Petals and love falling slow like soft snowflakes
A little change in season is all it takes,
But will these roses bloom again in a new morn?
Will their love come back to greatly adorn?
Will their beauty be gone forever once it fades away?
Or will it come back to make everything okay?
For what will the roses be worth if their beauty dies forever?
Will the image and value from them permanently sever?
Will the light in their eyes suddenly become dark?
As their splendor and significance steadily grow stark?
Or will they rise like light at the beginning of dawn?
And be reborn more beautiful than a swan?

McKINLEYVILLE -- Diego Ramirez scored the first goal of the match. But most importantly, he scored the final goal.
The McKinleyville High senior forward recorded a hat trick, his third goal coming with only two minutes remaining and helping the Panthers defeat visiting Del Norte 3-2 on Wednesday.
"Diego Ramirez scored timely goals for us," said McKinleyville head coach Tim Laney.
Ramirez's game-winner resulted from poise by freshman Kacy Ford. After sophomore Cole Urbany booted a corner kick from the left side, the Del Norte defense tried to clear the ball, but Ford controlled it and directed a pass to Ramirez, who then found the net.
"Stellar play by Kacy Ford today, both on defense and charging in and supporting on offense," said Laney.
In the opening half, Mack's passing game generated multiple scoring opportunities, most shots went wide, nevertheless keeping the pressure on Del Norte.
Ramirez scored 14 minutes into the match off an assist by Edgar Hernandez, and 13 minutes later Hernandez booted a hard left-footed shot from the right side toward the far post, but Warrior keeper Michael Marcinek rose up to make the catch.
Panther keeper Misael Guzman made a superb sliding save 20 minutes into the match, and four minutes later, he raced out to stonewall Del Norte's Chito Herrera, who had broken through the center of Mack's back line.
Unfortunately for Mack, Guzman sustained bruised ribs and left the game at halftime. In his absence, Laney moved Steven Howard from defense back to keeper.
Del Norte scored the equalizer 12 minutes into the second half, as Alberto Barraza persisted in traffic and booted one past Howard's right side.
The teams exchanged goals in the next six minutes.
Ramirez collected his second goal amidst Warrior defenders in the box, but Herrera charged ahead and lofted a shot that helped Del Norte tie the match at 2.
The Warriors, who had trouble distributing the ball in the opening half, began linking passes and looking more in synch. But over the next 20 minutes the teams battled without further scoring, with keepers Marcinek and Howard -- helped by Ford's clearing headers -- protecting their goals.
"We rallied back, and they (Warriors) showed will and spirit," said Del Norte head coach David Sanyaolu. "But McKinleyville is a good team. It was very impressive how they passed the ball so well."

Georgia Posts Record-Breaking Opening Day At Bulldog Decathlon
April 11, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. --- All three Georgia multi-event athletes are on pace for the best scores of their lives during the first day of the Bulldog Decathlon at the Spec Towns Track on Thursday afternoon.
Sophomore Garrett Scantling (4,173 points), freshman Maicel Uibo (4,151) and freshman Devon Williams (3,939) are in first through third place, respectively, following the first five events. They are all within striking distance of David Lemen's school record mark of 7,972 points set in 2002.
Scantling, who has five personal-best marks so far, had a previous day one best of 3,824 while Uibo has scored 3,797 and Williams has tallied 3,342 during the first day of their most successful decathlons before enrolling at UGA.
The decathlon cranks back up with the 110-meter hurdles at noon on Friday. The first event of the Bulldog Heptathlon begins at 10:45 a.m. with the 100 hurdles.
The Spec Towns National Team Invitational also begins on Friday afternoon. Both the men and women's triple jump are scheduled to start at 2 p.m. The first event on the track is the women's Invitational 4x400 relay.
"Although this was just a training decathlon for us since I had given them about three days off before today," said Bulldog multi-events coach Petros Kyprianou. "They are all way ahead of their (personal bests). We were hoping we would have these type performances with the meet being at home and now this group just has to stay focused. The guys need to finish strong but it is awesome to have two of them over 4,100 points after this first day."
Scantling won a pair of events to help give him the overall lead. During the shot put, Scantling launched his third attempt a career-long distance of 47 feet, 5 ¼ inches to win the event by nearly two feet. This performance, which was almost three feet farther than his former personal best, gained Scantling 757 points.
Scantling also cleared a career-best high jump height of 6-9.75 on his second attempt to notch 878 points. He had reached 6-9.50 at the 2012 Bulldog Decathlon and went as high as 6-11 at this year's NCAA Indoor Championships, which set a meet record.
Scantling made a significant improvement in the 100 to earn runner-up honors. Coming into the meet with a personal best of 11.34, Scantling crossed the finish line in 10.85. This gave the Jacksonville, Fla., native 894 points to start the competition.
Finishing just behind Williams, Scantling registered the fastest time of his career in the 400 (49.97) to take second. This finish was strong enough to add a final 816 points to his tally.
Scantling also hit the 23-foot mark for the first time in his career to take third in the long jump. He added 828 points to his total after working up to a third attempt of 23-2.
Uibo, who is a Polva, Estonia, native, had his top performance of the day to win the long jump. Uibo traveled 25-8 (1,015 points) on his second attempt to pick up the victory by more than a foot and a half. This is the best mark for a Bulldog since 1998 (Champ Bailey, 25-8.75) and the sixth best in history.
"Both of our freshmen stole the show today," Kyprianou said. "Maicel's performance in the long jump is a big-time highlight for us and one that should propel him into a great second day."
The high jump presented a challenge for Uibo, who has battled a foot injury all year long. After passing on the first 12 heights, Uibo cleared 6-5 on his first try. He then passed on the next two heights before reaching 6-8.75 on his third attempt for 850 points.
Uibo also finished the 100 with the best time of his life for third place. He clocked a 10.99 for 863 points, which is the first time he had broken the 11-second mark.
In the shot put, Uibo opened with a mark of 41-9.25, which was good for fifth place and 651 points. To wrap up the day, Uibo was fourth in the 400 after completing his lap in 50.94 (772).
Williams won each of the events that were held on the track. He shot out of the gate to win the opening event during his first time running the 100 in his Bulldog career. Williams clocked a 10.80 to score 906 points.
Racing in a single heat in the 400, Williams sped to a finish of 49.65 for 831 points. All three Bulldogs were in the front pack during the final turn before Williams separated himself in the homestretch.
Williams improved his top jump in high school by more than a foot to earn runner-up honors in the long jump. He had a mark of 24-1 between his first and third attempts to score 896 points.
In the third event, Williams left with a sixth-place finish in the shot put with a mark of 40-0.75 (619). Williams finished the high jump with a mark of 6-1.50 for seventh place and 687 points.

Cool Book Trailer: Incredibly Easy to Duplicate for Any Book
Now here's a cool book trailer, that's not a trailer. It's for Jennifer Belle's novel The Seven Year Bitch. I bet this video has received more than the 69 or fewer views Belle's seven official book trailers received (http://www.youtube.com/user/1156ruby).
You can easily create a similar book trailer for your book. Why not do it today? If you do, let me know.

Get Inspired by NYC Street Style!
As many of you girls know, New York City is one of the hubs for fashion. Therefore, NYU is one of the schools that it is unacceptable to roll straight out of bed, throw on sweats and old ratty sneakers and run to class. That is a giant NO! Though, sometimes I have no idea what to wear and I need new inspiration to spice up my closet!
Check out Swagger:New York to steal some ideas for your next shopping trip or just for what you want to wear tomorrow! Recently, they held a Campus Crawl contest to find the most stylish college students in NYC, and one of the winners, Anastasia (she's in the black and white outfit!), is from NYU! Even though the contest is over, you can still check out all the contestants amazing outfits to get some style inspiration.
Along with the Campus Crawl section the site, you can listen to new music, shop, and check out more of the most stylish people in New York. I have it bookmarked on my laptop for whenever I'm having trouble putting together an outfit for class or going out on the weekend!
What's your favorite section of Swagger: New York? What are some other sites you use to get fashion inspiration? Leave a comment below!

Skinny! Gene! Just two little words, yet how they make the frustrated dieter's heart sing.
Little surprise, then, that a well-titled press release — "'Skinny Gene' Exists" — provoked an outpouring of stories about University of Texas Southwestern researchers who found that tinkering with a single gene affected the body types of fruit flies, roundworms and mice.
The gene — named, appropriately but somewhat confusingly, adipose — appears to be "a high-level master switch that tells the body whether to accumulate or burn fat." The more active the gene, the leaner, healthier and (in the case of mice) more diabetes-resistant the studied animals were.
The research indeed offers a promising avenue of study in people. It might very well be applicable to us, raising hopes — oh, you media-savvy scientists! — that "people who want to fit in their jeans might someday be able to overcome their genes." But it's still very early-stage work.
Of course, that didn't stop MSNBC from opening its story with an anecdotal account of a North Carolina woman who eats what she wants without getting fat, or the Voice of America from saying the gene "either keeps people thin or makes them obese," or dozens of other accounts from making the human connection.
It'd be great if this gene is everything that's promised. But a simple
Google search for "obesity gene" reveals how often the claim has been made before. Until scientists actually show that people with high levels of adipose gene activity really can fit in tight jeans, lay off the pork rinds.

Chinese Gong Chimes
The Butterfly Lovers
Konghou, also called Kanhou, is an ancient plucked stringed instrument in China. There are mainly three kinds of Konghou: one is played lying flat, one is played upright and another one is the phoenix-headed Konghou.
The phoenix-headed Konghou was introduced from India to the Central Plains of China in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), and was prevalent in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Konghou, with its sweet tamber and wide diapason, can be used to play not only cantus but also chord and has many advantages in both solo and tutti performances. It was an indispensable instrument in China's ancient royal courts. From basso-relievo in the Yungang Grottoes of Datong and Dunhuang murals we can see persons playing Kouhou. This shows that Konghou playing was very popular in China a long time ago.

(LOS ANGELES) — Turns out Jennifer Love Hewitt isn't just pregnant: She's engaged, too!
Hewitt, 34, is engaged to her boyfriend, actor Brian Hallisay, a rep for the Client List star confirmed to ABC News on Wednesday.
According to Us Weekly, the couple, who met while appearing on the 2011 TV series Love Bites, began dating more than a year ago after reconnecting on the set of their Lifetime show. Hallisay, also 34, proposed in May while they were vacationing in Europe.
"This is a wonderful time," the couple told ABC News in a statement Tuesday about the pregnancy. "We are looking forward to starting our family together."

Date of Stay: May, 2010
We stayed here on a visit based around going to Medieval Times at Arundel Mills Mall. We arrived and checked in easily, we were escorted to our site. Once we arrived at the site I had to question if I could get my camper backed into the spot it was pretty tight, however our guide helped get me into the spot with ease, it was a bit unlevel, but nothing that a block on one side didn't fix. The staff here was extremely friendly and helpful with all of our questions. This was our first stay in a KOA and we loved it. They had lots for our kids to do and some fun activities were going on. Our family plans to return to this campground as a base camp for a trip to Washington DC and Baltimore.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
The sites here were a bit unlevel but not too bad, nothing that a couple blocks didn't fix. The camp hosts during our stay were very friendly and there were some severe thunderstorms in the area and they made it a point to come and update everyone on the weather. The weekend we stayed happen to be an Alpaca/Sheep shearing weekend at the farm and we had a blast watching them get naked. This is a great campground, like every other Virginia State Park.

Ronix Pheonix Project "S" Wakeboard 137 w/ District Boots - $586.95
The board that started the trend in Stored Energy constructions and the recipient of the editor's pick of their favorite ride now comes with our new diamond glass lay up. The Phoenix Project "S" opens up a new spectrum of board designs and riding styles allowing a rider to push all the way up the wake, and as the tail passes thru the peak, it continues to build energy - not dampening the ride like most "flex" boards out there. A rider can feel the shift in board energy from the nose to the tail the longer they wait due to the unique lay up and wide 28" stance option. A deck that you session more like your favorite snowboard, timing the wake with a later pop. Or just ride it like a traditional board with a mellower snap and super forgiving landings. With the Phoenix Project's thinner profile and diamond glass, you can feel a balance point - while pressing rails, as the board flexes until it locks. A newfangled diamond construction for riders that want more of a snow/skate feel leaving the wake and added control on rails, or that just have a conventional style and want a smoother overall ride. The board Erik Ruck rode while winning the title of the Move of The Year, and the shape Marc Rossiter sessions earning him top billing of the Rail Rider Of The Year. An open toe creation combining the 3-D molded tongue support and performance of the Viva boot liner, with a shell construction similar to our acclaimed comfort fit Divide boot. Made with a hybrid Stage1/Stage 2 liner, which has a superior molecular makeup to keep the boot's intended shape over time. The revolutionary Ronix fi t at a more affordable value blending town and country. Universal sizing allowing riders to share their favorite district of the world.Key Features of the Ronix Pheonix Project "S" Wakeboard: Full center rail creates a smooth transferring board from edge to edge Blends to a more vertical sidewall in the tip and tail allowing the board to ride higher on the water with more glide speed Most exaggerated bottom bevel starts out at 4 degree blending to 18 degree on the ends - super forgiving and less likely to get hung up on rails Deep symmetrical channels - help with acceleration thru a turn and push the rider into the wake Subtle tunnel - more efficient water flow and stabilized landings Rocker line - smooth predictable transfer makes it easier for a rider to have a late take off Diamond Glass - Our secret concoction absorbs more energy before rebounding it - a lightweight woven construction brings less swing weight and increased feel on the water to the board 4 Utility Fins - A fin actually designed to be sessioned on rails, also for riders that like that finless feel, the wider design creates turbulence giving it a less gratuitous grip on the water 4 Fiberglass 1.0" ramp fins Versatile cable and boat board with a controlled flex Ridden by Erik Ruck and Marc RossiterKey Features of the Ronix District Boots: 3-D Molded tongue blends comfort and performance Built in J-bars improve heel hold Double laces - a more customized fit Articulating cuff - the boot fl exes with the rider without boot distortion Low friction eyelets New double X lacing - improved wear resistance and tensile strength Designed with the everyday rider in mind - $586.95

Hide lines
double room on the Esplanade and received our free dinner voucher for the Woolshed. (luc - yep, meal vouchers, this is what our
life has come to, next up we'll be queuing for the dole!)
We went for a wander into town to find out about diving trips and general activities for Cairns, Port Douglas and Cape
Tribulation as well as to get a beer or two in before dinner.
We had a chat with the first of the many travel agents we came across and he advised us that there was a tropical cyclone
just off the outer barrier reef that was threatening to come across the reef to cairns
He told us that we shouldn't even consider going out until Friday or Saturday, so that sorted our itinerary for us. We would
get out of Cairns up to Port Douglas and Cape Tribulation for a few days, do the rain forest stuff and come back to go
diving on Saturday. So we booked our backpackers in Port Douglas based on the lonely planets
(increasingly becoming the Lonely Liar) recommendation and went for a beer. We then hit the Woolshed for our free dinner.
I will let Lucy tell you about this as it is her new favourite place........
Oh my gosh, my happy place, the Woolshed. After feeling very dubious about this place hearing how dave ate here about 12 years
ago when he was an 18yr old backpacker, we set off (meal vouchers in hand). We queued for a bit and had to order as we got in,
i'd clocked the t bone steak on the menu and was able to "upgrade" my meal voucher for $8 to have the t-bone, fabulous, although
i cant say i was expecting much
different compared to the rest of the skanky Cairns bars. Once our number was called out dave came back with the two HUGEST
plates of food i have ever seen in my life, bloody massive! Dave was convinced i wouldnt finish and was eyeing up my steak nicely,
only to find that i cleaned everything off my plate, it was ammmaaazzzing!!! the best t-bone by far, and purchased with a meal
voucher, brilliant. def my happy place. (DC, I had gone for the ribs instead sure that Luc would get nowhere near finishing
her steak. I even put a nice dollop of English mustard on my plate to accompany her left overs!!)
Next morning, our Port Douglas backpackers collected us from Cairns and we were off on the 1 hour coastal journey. PD wasn't quite
how we had hoped. It was more like Port Ghost town. There was hardly a soul there and the restaurant, bars, and basically
the whole town was closed by 9pm
drink and who was the live entertainment that night?! Yep, the one and only Dave Cooke!! (see photo)
We also learned that they had nice double rooms for cheaper than our backpackers in a much nicer place and better location!
Thanks lonely liar!
The following day we decided to do our own Cape Tribulation day tour as we figured we could hire a car and go to all the sights
for a fraction of the cost of the organised trip (luc - we're getting to be savvy little travelers now hey?;).
We swam in Mosman gorge, took a river trip and saw salt water crocs, tree
snakes, and frogs. This by the way was all in the p*ssing rain as cyclones Neville and Olga built momentum.
We then drove further north to Cape Trib itself to take in the rain forest and beach. It was all very nice, but the rain
and mozzies did become too much after a while so we set off back to the thrills of Port Douglas
It was actually a little livelier and we took part in the local Cane toad racing and met a roight nice couple from
North Walsham in Norfolk who have lived in Perth for 11 years, although you never would have known from their accents!
More rain on Friday and with PD put on full cyclone alert we decided it best to call time there and head back down the
coast to Cairns in hope of better weather and hopefully some diving. Along the way though daves roight noice friends from
Norfolk had recommended we visit the small town of Kurumba! So we figured what the hell and had a bit of a detoured road
trip back to Cairns. We stopped off at one of the wildlife farms and seemed to be the only people stupid enough to be out in
the cyclonic weather! But once we were in the farm place i was in my happy place!!! They had kangaroos and wallabies just
jumping around in the open, you could pet them and feed them and yes i know im sounding like a 5 year old but it was
besides my upgraded meal at the woolshed that is;) When dave eventually managed to drag me out of the animal farm place we went
to a really cool waterfall where we got to put our nice matching africa rain coats to good use, and then ambled through the
markets and visited a sweet factory place which had to be the second highlight of the
day, we got given free sweets, YUM!
Back in Cairns we were ready to book our live-aboard and for me to now move onto night diving (yes, craziness i know!)
But when we went to book we were told that the cyclones had now joined and were increasing in intensity and all diving was
cancelled for the next few days!!!!!! AARRRGGHH!
So we though f that, and booked ourselves into a posh hotel ( where dave somehow managed to wheel a deal with the assistant
manager by merely batting his eyelids and asking for a room half price to which she agreed??? amazing, although i was miffed
i didnt have the same effect on the male concierges) and decided to change our flights and get the hell out of this
place (after one last meal in the woolshed) and head to Melbourne a few days early. Bloody cyclones.

Span For Flooring / Ceiling
I want to use 2X8 T&G Cyprus for an exposed ceiling and a finished floor on the other side. Whats the longest span I can go without any support? I'm hoping for 6' feet.
Thanks in advance
Presuming that you are putting these flooring boards together tongue and groove unless I am thinking wrong you normally are going to be running and attaching these boards either perpendicular or diagonally over joists. :eek: there is no way you are going to be allowed to go 6 foot :no: I am thinking the joists will be set at 16" o.c. or maybe 24" o.c. at the most.
I am sure an actual builder or inspector may chime in here at some point with more information......
A six foot span for flooring? Not going to happen. Are the "whatevers" that you are going to put the T&G over sitting there 6' apart? What are they, and what are they holding up now? I'm confused. j
No, this will get you started: page #195: http://books.google.com/books?id=idB...floors&f=false
Be safe, Gary
thnaks for the replies so far. The flooring will sit on exposed 4X4's and like I said, I was hoping to get a six foot span between them. That doesnt look like its going to happen. The 2X8 cyprus is a lot stronger than any type of pine flooring. The T&G glued makes for a pretty solid floor but now Im hoping to be allowed a 2 foot span. Its all good. The exposed lumber is a great look for what I want to do.

Macquarie to Buy ING's South Korean Asset Management BusinessAngus Whitley and Maud van Gaal
Macquarie Group Ltd., Australia's largest investment bank, agreed to buy ING Groep NV's South Korean investment management business to add 25.2 trillion won ($22 billion) of assets.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter and won't have a material impact on earnings, ING, the biggest Dutch financial-services company, said in a statement today. Neither company disclosed detailed terms.
Macquarie has been buying asset-management businesses from the U.S. to Asia since the global financial crisis to generate more predictable income as stock markets gyrate. The Sydney-based company said in a separate statement that today's purchase will make it the largest foreign asset manager in South Korea.
"Asia is one of the key growth regions for us globally and having a presence in Korea is an essential cornerstone for our Asian strategy," Axel Maier, head of Asian business at Macquarie's investment management unit, said in the statement.
Amsterdam-based ING, which agreed to sell its global insurance and investment-management operations to win European Union approval for bailouts in 2008 and 2009, has since sold more than 25 assets for at least 20 billion euros ($26 billion).
ING said today it's still planning to sell the rest of its insurance and investment management businesses in Asia, including ING Life Korea.
