The head of the world's largest drip irrigation company says Australia is far behind other countries when it comes to water saving technology.
No doubt one of the national topics up for discussion at this weekend's 2020 summit is how to effectively manage our dwindling and erratic distribution of water across the landscape. So what can we learn from other dry nations?

Synonym; Paramaecium O. F. Muller (ref. ID; 1618)
[ref. ID; 2014]
Medium- to large sized ciliate (120-300 um long), ovoid, elongate, foot- or cigar-shaped. The anterior end may be rounded or obliquely truncated and the posterior rounded or conical. The shape is rather asymmetrical due to the presence of an oblique depression, the oral groove, running from the apex of the cell to about the middle of the body on the ventral surface. The oral aperture is located at the posterior end of the oral groove. While the oral groove is prominent and easily seen the aperture is rarely visible without staining the cell with silver. Inside the buccal cavity there is a comparatively small undulating membrane on the right and 2 membranelles called peniculi lying alongside each other. Membranelle M3 comprise four rows of kinetosomes which diverge centrally to form a structure known as a quadrulus. Somatic ciliation is complete and uniform with 1, 2 or 3 hexagonal units. There are both pre- and post-oral sutures and trichocysts present. 1 to many (commonly 2) contractile vacuoles present which may be served by radiating canals. Cytoproct on the ventral surface located sub-orally. Macronucleus ovoid to reniform in shape, usually centrally located with variable number of micronuclei close by. Locomotion characteristically vigorous and spiralling anticlockwise. Wenrich (1928). The species of Paramecium are still in a state of flux. The classical species P. aurelia has recently been subdivided into 14 sibling species by Sonneborn (1975) and Gates, Powelson and Berger (1974) and Gates and Berger (1976) have discussed the morphological separation of these species. Vivier (1974) also reviews the classically named species.

[ref. ID; 4063]
Originally, the taxon "Paramecium aurelia" was used to lump together a number of organism that were morphologically similar but between which gene flow did not always occur. As more information became available, particularly through application of biochemical techniques, classification of this group of organisms achieved finer resolution. At first, the 14 subgroups were called "varieties" on the basis of specificity of the mating types, that is, the specific selectively of the breeding relations. Subsequently the 14 varieties were designated "biological species", or "syngens", but not given species status, on the grounds that mating type identification was difficult to learn and apply to new strains and that it was undesirable to base identification on living material that had to be maintained in the laboratory and could easily be lost or mixed up. When it became possible to freeze and store paramecia in liquid nitrogen efficiently, and the syngens could be identified by simple biochemical procedures (such as starch gel electrophoresis of enzymes), species status was at last given to the 14 syngens, now considered sibling species of an "aurelia complex".

AAA Wants Congress to Cut Funds That Support Trails
October 7, 2010
Filed under Trailer News
Hiking local trails is one of the highlights of RVing. However, the American Automobile
Association (AAA) wants Congress to cut funds that support trail, biking and walking
programs in order to funnel that money to the highway system. If you'd like to object to
the diversion of these trail funds, go to the Rails
to Trails Conservancy website and sign the petition letting AAA know that you are one
of tens of millions of Americans who want safe, convenient places to bicycle and walk, and
that you support federal programs that fund all ways of getting around – including trails,
bicycling and walking.

I don't think any gun is scratch proof,but some coatings are scratch resistant,duracoat gun finish,or KG gunkote are some spray on finishes,the KG requires baking
This is a discussion on Glock 23 slide Homemade Refinish help... within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Hi guys, I just bought a Glock 23 from a friend, the gun is in rather good shape but has heavy holster/mexican carry wear marks ...
Hi guys, I just bought a Glock 23 from a friend, the gun is in rather good shape but has heavy holster/mexican carry wear marks on the slide that i dont want to preserve... I know its a tool and stuff, but i want it to look good...
I need you to give me some homemade solution for this, i heard that the "black oxide" of the slide can be removed, preserving the tenifer treatment (as its inlayed a few cents of an inch in the steel)
Any homemade refinishing idea is welcome... the idea is to have an even color all around it, no matter if its black, grey, silver, chrome... or whatever, the idea for it is to be corrosion resistan and scratch proof...
Maybe blasting it and sending to a chrome shop.... ???
I dont want it to be too flashy, just a neat tool...
I don't think any gun is scratch proof,but some coatings are scratch resistant,duracoat gun finish,or KG gunkote are some spray on finishes,the KG requires baking
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
i heard that sandblasted glocks dont rust...cause the tenifer remains embed in the metal...true??? im from argentina no gun kotes or resistant paints over here!!! :(
USPS flat rate box to Argentina is about $13 - order something online from US company.
I was thinking about...removing the black oxide finish with white vinegar or birchwood casey blue remover....to leave the natural tenifer finish exposed... You guys think it would work?
I think you should send the slide back to Glock and have them refinish it in original finish.
Im in Argentina... no way to send anything to glock from here... besides...i want to do it myself!!! its fun to mess with guns... dont you think?
There are do-it-at-home substitutes, but they are never as tough as the properly applied surface treatments.
One is often best of just leaving good enough alone. Or just neatly spray paint some camo pattern on the slide. If it rubs off, clean it and repaint.
"a reminder that no law can replace personal responsibility" - Bill Clinton 2010.
Ive done some treatments on metals... controlled oxidations, anodizing... and of couse paintworks....
Im really keen on knowing what will happen with teniffer if i use an acid solution to remove the black coating...
I've heard good things about duracoat
Healthy children will not fear life, if their parents have integrity enough not to fear death.
If you want to do it yourself, check brownells.com for some finish options. Many years ago I built up a 1911 that I finished with cerakote, which lasted until I sold the gun and lost track of it. Here's a link: NIC INDUSTRIES, INC. : CERAKOTE CERAMIC COATINGS - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools
Good luck
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
There are a lot of good metal surface treatment books in a college engineering library. The home methods just never quite work as well.
Note to would be gunsmiths: Only qualified persons should heat a gun barrel or other critical high stress firearm parts. One can quickly destroy steel heat treating and make the barrel unsafe to fire. Low stress things like the slide are fine to mess with...
best of luck!

Over the past few weeks, Paul Hagen, Kerry Bodine, and I have been posting our takes on Forrester's Customer Experience Forum, 2011. We've included video of moments we like from 10 out of the 11 main-stage sessions (sadly, we don't have video of the Voice Of The Customer Awards, but at least we have a list of the winners!).
To give attendees and others an easy way to find the moments that matter to them, I've assembled this guide to our posts about the event. If you find these posts interesting, you can jump into the discussions that started at the forum in our online Forrester Community For Customer Experience Professionals.
"Customer Experience Is Personal"
Harley Manning, Vice President, Research Director, Forrester Research
Here's the man-on-the-street video I used in my opening remarks. We took a camera crew to Harvard Square and asked people to describe their best and worst customer experiences. Yikes!
"What Is the Right Customer Experience Strategy For Your Company?"
Paul Hagen, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research
What is a customer experience strategy? What is it good for? How can you recognize a good one? Hear Paul's answer, which sets the theme for the rest of the event.
"A Relentless Focus On Members"
Posted by Harley Manning on July 12, 2011
You all know Nikon, which has more than $8 billion in annual revenue and 26,000 employees worldwide. At Forrester's Customer Experience Forum, 2011, we also got to know David Dentry, general manager of customer relations for Nikon.
David's a lucky guy. He's been interested in photography since he was a small child, so working at Nikon is a dream job for him. He was a photographer and photo teacher in the US Navy for eight years, which had him shooting (in a way that's different from the way most military personnel shoot) everything from aerial reconnaissance photos to cake-cutting events. In fact, he joined the Navy based on his recruiter's assurance that if he signed up he'd get to be a photographer.
Today David's responsible for all aspects of customer support for Nikon in the Americas. His team manages Nikon's call center operations and the nikonusa.com website. That's quite an interesting challenge because he gets the customer service experience challenge in stereo from two very different types of channels. Not to worry, though, because he has a technique he uses to suss out the lowest common denominator when it comes to customer experience challenges: ask Grandma.
Here's how he describes his approach.

There's a personal story behind why we invited one of our speakers to be on the main stage at Forrester's Customer Experience Forum, 2011.
A few months back, I had to take a trip from Boston to Toronto. My colleague Jeff Thurston said, "You've got to fly Porter." I asked why, and he just said "trust me." Well, I do trust Jeff so I went ahead and booked a flight on Porter Airlines.
When I got back to Boston I concluded two things. First, the only way I was going to fly to Toronto from now on was via Porter. Second, I needed to get someone from Porter on stage to talk about the butt-kicking customer experience I'd just had.
What's so great about Porter? Let me give you my take. It starts with flying into Billy Bishop airport, which is basically in the city of Toronto — as opposed to Toronto Pearson International airport, which is a long cab ride outside of Toronto. So when you get off the plane at Billy Bishop, you just saved yourself about 15 miles worth of traffic.
That's the convenient part. Now for the cool part. The flight experience is retro 1960s (maybe earlier, I wasn't flying in the 60s). The seats are wide and comfortable. The crew treats you like they want your business. You get snacks that are basically meals plus wine or beer — and it's complimentary! I almost fell out of my leather seat when the flight attendant told me that.

Last year we published not just one but two reports that featured the outstanding customer experience transformation process that took place in the American Express call centers. The first report described the winning entry submitted by American Express for a 2010 Voice Of The Customer Award — the data from that VoC program drove many of their call center improvements. The second report was a profile of the transformation itself based on a talk by Reena Panikar, vice president and business leader of American Express' Customer Service Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
We were so impressed by this story that we invited Jim Bush, executive vice president of world service at American Express to speak at Forrester's Customer Experience Forum 2011.
Jim is responsible for leading the company's global customer servicing operation — which includes 25 proprietary locations across the globe and a team of tens of thousands of customer care professionals who provide service to more than 63 million customers. He was the driving force behind the American Express call center transformation.
Listen in as Jim describes how it all went down.

One of the challenges in putting together Forrester's Customer Experience Forum is that we have a very limited number of main-stage speaker slots. And that's frustrating because as the content champion for the event, I wanted to put the top bank, the top credit card provider, and the top insurance provider on stage.
Lucky for me our Customer Experience Index data tells us that's all the same company: USAA.
And that's why we were so happy to have Wayne Peacock as a speaker.
Wayne is executive vice president of member experience at USAA, where he oversees its marketing, channel management, sales, and service functions. We profiled him earlier this year as part of our series "Conversations With Chief Customer Officers."
As always, the USAA story is inspiring. As Wayne put it, it accomplishes its mission by focusing on three things that are deceptively simple but very hard to execute well:
To which I will only add: If you do those things, you might also have a year-over-year customer retention rate of 97% to 98% like USAA.
But don't take my word — listen to Wayne yourself. Enjoy!
Posted by Harley Manning on July 6, 2011
No offense meant to any of the other great speakers at Forrester's recent Customer Experience Forum 2011, but I have to admit that I had a favorite: Kevin Peters, Office Depot's president, North American retail.
Kevin had some stiff competition from executives like USAA's Wayne Peacock, Jim Bush from American Express, the members of our chief customer officer panel, and others. But Kevin won me over by giving one of the best speeches I have ever seen anywhere.
As someone who A) gives speeches on a pretty regular basis, B) attends a lot of events where I see other people give speeches, and C) feels compelled to analyze everything, I've been thinking a lot about why Kevin was so good.
Let's start with the fact that he rocked it old school by standing up and delivering a speech without slides or any other kind of visual aids. Yeah, that's right — he stood up and told a story so interesting that I just sat there riveted.
How did he manage that trick? It was a combination of great content and passion about that content. Let me be clear: If you've ever wondered what an executive who is deeply committed to his customers looks like, just watch this.
Posted by Harley Manning on July 5, 2011
I was recently fortunate enough to host a panel of three chief customer officers (CCOs) on the main stage of Forrester's Customer Experience Forum 2011.
They're all quite different. Fred Leichter from Fidelity Investments has a background in customer experience, having guided the design of Fidelity websites for many years (and as a Fidelity customer, I can say that those sites are pretty darn good). In contrast, Jim Merlino of The Cleveland Clinic is a practicing surgeon as well as CCO, and Jeff Harvey of SAP (who was recently promoted out of the CCO position) has a diversified leadership background that's more typical of the customer experience executives we recently studied.
Interestingly, despite their differences, they all spend time as CCOs on evangelizing customer experience, building empathy for customers among their organizations' employees, and embedding customer-centricity into projects.
Check out this video excerpt from our session and share your own thoughts about this emerging role!

The jury is still deliberating over whether or not Miami is a "real" sports town. The city's pride and joy, the NBA's Miami Heat, do a good job filling seats—after the first quarter—and a new stadium helped raise the Marlins' average attendance this past season, despite a lousy record. But Dolphin diehards are dwindling, and it's easy to forget that the University of Miami is still somewhat relevant in college football, baseball and basketball. So what will convince the naysayers that Miami truly does love sports? Soccer. On Wednesday at 8 p.m., professional soccer returns to Sun Life Stadium (2269 NW 199th St., Miami Gardens) with a FIFA-sanctioned international friendly between Colombia and Guatemala. If previous exhibitions are any indication of the size of the crowd you can expect that night, you may want to purchase tickets well in advance. When Chivas upset Barcelona at Sun Life in 2011, a record-breaking 70,080 witnessed it live. Given Colombia's resurgence as a soccer powerhouse, the stadium may see that many on Wednesday. Sandwiched between fourth-place Italy and sixth-place England, Colombia has climbed 31 spots since 2011 to hold court as FIFA's fifth best national team on the planet. Guatemala, on the other hand, has struggled in recent years; the team failed to qualify for World Cup Qualifiers, nixing any chance of a World Cup Victory in 2016. Nevertheless, good soccer is good soccer, and both these teams should put on a hell of a dogfight.

From the semi-16mm black and white suburban lawn noodling to the explosion of the flower power in the chorus, the video for Tamaryn's "Dawning" is as honest a genre replication as is the song, which goes for pure dreampop affect. Luckily, they're better at it than others who've attempted the same thing in recent years.

New York may be well known for its plentiful hardcore scene, but with so many musicians clinging to the minimalist nature of hardcore in one area, other bands will undoubtedly attempt to adapt that simplistic style into something more complex and forward-thinking over time. Tombs, the new project from ex-Anodyne frontman Mike Hill, is one such band, drawing on their roots and multiple outside influences to create a unique, appealing sound. The "minimalist" aspect of their sound comes from their raw, uncut production, similar to seminal hardcore bands like Black Flag and Minor Threat, and even approaching the levels of black metal artists such as Darkthrone at times. However, there is nothing simple about their compositions, with sound like the darkest nightmares of Gojira or Mastodon. To put it another way, Tombs is the bastard child of noise-rockers Unsane and post-metal visionaries Neurosis—raw, heavy, progressive, and unrelenting across the board.
Check out the track "Course of Empire" after the jump, taken from their upcoming collection of early and unreleased material, entitled Fear Is the Weapon (November 9th, Relapse). The band is getting ready to release a new album next summer, but until then, you can catch them on tour on one of the dates listed below the stream.
Upon listening to former Czars-frontman John Grant's first solo record, Queen of Denmark, one feels the kind of awe usually reserved for rock heroes of old. It is, quite simply, one of the great records of 2010. Mojo magazine gave the album its seldom-bestowed five-star, "instant classic" rating, and influential LA blog Aquarium Drunkard called it "a new cult classic".
Earlier this year, Grant opened for Queen of Denmark producers and backing-band Midlake, turning audiences across the country on to his special brand of heart-bearing indie songcraft. Now he's headlining his own US tour this December, starting 12/4 in Chicago (complete tour dates after the jump). These shows are not to be missed.
Sure, this track by the very-likely duo squanders what's otherwise a perfectly fine pop tune with a lame chorus, but the video makes up for it with GIGANTIC JAPANESE FONTS. Also, in the third quarter of the song, witness the return of the breakbeat in American pop music.
The fourth Kaya Project album Desert Phase Remixes is quite literally inspired by the desert landscape as it incorporates field recordings from those dry locales along with remixes from a number of top-notch contemporary producers. The remixers come from all over the world to offer up 13 tracks, with London's Gaudi giving us the mesmerizing "Calico Stomp".

The main focus of England's final home match before jetting off to the European Championships was Roy Hodgson's final preparations for the tournament, but Hazard's presence also attracted a fair bit of attention.
The 21-year-old is one of the most talked-about young prospects in Europe, and spent a great deal of time linking himself with several top Premier League sides before finally revealing he would be moving to Stamford Bridge in a deal worth £32 million.
Despite being the name on everyone's lips, few fans in England had seen Hazard in action before Belgium's visit. Ligue 1 matches are not broadcast live in the UK, and Lille's Champions League fixtures were hardly big draws for many other than supporters of the French champions and their opponents.
So England's friendly against a hugely talented group of young individuals who could not combine to seal a place in Poland and Ukraine was a timely opportunity for most English fans to see what all the fuss was about.
In a team of no genuine out-and-out strikers – Romelu Lukaku was named on the bench – Hazard was often the furthest player forward for the visitors, although he would regularly switch positions with fellow forwards Moussa Dembele, Dries Mertens and Kevin Mirallas.
Hazard is only 5'7", but he spent much of his time with his back to goal helping Belgium keep possession and providing a crucial link in attack. He exhibited great technique and plenty of one and two-touch contributions as he kept the ball moving, though opportunities for him to show why he scored 20 goals and set up another 16 in Ligue 1 last season were in short supply.
Belgium were by far the better side in terms of the football they played and the possession they kept, and yet they left Wembley as 1-0 losers.
Here is a complete rundown of Hazard's playing contribution against England, offering a glimpse as to what Chelsea fans can expect next season.
There is a long break in play for Gary Cahill's injury and Joleon Lescott's subsequent introduction.

Are We Headed Toward A Cashless Society?
Posted by Carlton Doty on June 8, 2011
These are exciting—and challenging—times for anyone who is responsible for developing, managing, and innovating consumer products. Why? Because digital technology is disrupting everything—the way we communicate with each other; the way we access, store, and share information; the way we purchase and interact with the products and services we use every day; and yes—even the way in which we actually pay for those products and services. Whether you like it or not, digital disruption is happening everywhere, it's happening fast, and it's accelerating.
Let's consider that last example: If you're in the consumer payments business (or just about any other business for that matter), then it would have been hard to miss the recent flurry of activity around digital payments—whether it's Square, Visa's digital wallet, Google, MasterCard's contactless chip solutions, or any of the various mobile payment solutions we've seen lately. Some are proclaiming the end is near for cash, and yes, we've all heard this "cashless society" cadence before. NBC News' scooped this and other sci-fi claims back in 2007 on a story about how we would all have embedded microchips in our skin by 2017. Go back nearly ten more years—remember when PayPal launched? That was pre-Y2K!
Yes, we have indeed heard it before, but something's different now. While the technology has existed for years, today it's actually getting into the hands of consumers—at scale. That means new revenue potential abounds for the firms that can wrap a profitable business model around their digital payment products. It also opens the door for aggressive new entrants and new strategic partnerships that are willing and able to disrupt the status quo.
So where is all of this headed? Who will win, and what will it take? Are we really going to end up in a cashless society? If you think you have the answers to these questions, the right background, the consultative "chops," and the intellectual curiosity to do rigorous research—you just might have what it takes to become Forrester's next analyst. We are searching for a Senior Analyst to join the Consumer Product Strategy practice at Forrester and help define the future of consumer payments.
Interested applicants should apply online, and/or find us on LinkedIn.
I look forward to hearing from you.

By Jarrett Bell, USA TODAY
USA TODAY's Jarrett Bell takes a look at three of the key developments from the NFL's Week 12:
Wild, Weak (NFC) West Look who's in first place? The St. Louis Rams.
By withstanding a late Denver Broncos rally, coupled with a Seattle Seahawks loss, the Rams technically lead the NFC West.
Sure, it's half-empty. The Rams (5-6) aren't even .500, have a 25th-ranked offense and play in the NFL's worst division.
Yet it's half-full, too. The Rams, 4-24 away from home since 2007, won their first road game in more than a year. They are one victory shy of matching the franchise's total for the past three seasons combined.
"This was a huge step…taking it to the next level," quarterback Sam Bradford said of ending the road win drought. "It's obviously something we've struggled with earlier in the year. But to finally clear that hurdle, I feel like things can only get better now."
Perhaps no player has reflected the Rams' progress like Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in April. In the past six games, he has thrown for 11 TDs with just one interception. His ball security is one reason why the Rams are tied for the sixth-fewest turnovers in the NFL (13).
Who knew? The Rams could play at Seattle in Week 17 for the NFC West crown. But first things first: They continue a three-game road swing Sunday at Arizona.
Home, Sweet Dome A climate-controlled dome or perhaps a frigid Windy City.
December will determine whether the Atlanta Falcons, an NFC-best 9-2, can finish strong enough to earn a No. 1 playoff seed for the first time in franchise history.
No question, it matters.
The Falcons edged the Green Bay Packers for their 15th consecutive victory at the raucous Georgia Dome on Sunday. The latest down-to-the-wire finish improved Matt Ryan's home record to 19-1, matching ex-Dallas Cowboy Danny White for best over a quarterback's first 20 home games during the Super Bowl era.
10 QUESTIONS: Are Bears in position to be feared now?
Yet the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears (8-3) issued their own statement against the Philadelphia Eagles. Imagine a potent offense, as was the case Sunday, complementing a defense that pestered Michael Vick and allows an NFL-low 15.6 points per game.
Soldier Field in January? That's as attractive for Atlanta as Lambeau Field.
"You want every advantage that you can get," said Falcons running back Michael Turner. "But that's way down the line right now."
To secure home-field advantage for January, the Falcons must win on the road in December. A three-game road swing begins at Tampa Bay on Sunday. The next home date is Dec. 27 against New Orleans — which used a home dome edge en route to a Super Bowl crown last season.
"We're not going to be here for a while," Turner said. "We've got our bags packed."
With the hopes of leaving them unpacked for the playoffs.
Marked man? Another week, another review of James Harrison.
This time, the Pittsburgh Steelers' star linebacker is under scrutiny for a hit on Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick that drew a 15-yard personal foul.
Once again, Harrison — fined $95,000 for two cases in October stemming from illegal hits on Cleveland Browns receiver Mohamed Massaquoi and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees— was defiant in defending his style after Sunday's incident.
Officials flagged Harrison for leading with his helmet as he hit Fitzpatrick in the chest. Harrison said it was a clean tackle, similar to one that he made against Oakland Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell the previous week that drew a penalty but didn't result in a fine from the NFL. He suggests that he's become a target.
"There's nothing wrong about the play," Harrison said. "I just felt like it's getting to the point where the refs feel like if they don't make the call they may be in trouble."
When the NFL declared its crusade against flagrant hits in October, it threatened stiffer penalties — and even suspensions — for repeat offenders. Harrison might qualify. A few weeks ago, he went to New York for a face-to-face meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Interestingly, when the league ruled on the fisticuffs between Tennessee Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan and Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson, both were fined $25,000 and not suspended.
This, despite Finnegan's "repeat offender" status and the notion that the rugged cornerback instigated Sunday's skirmish, which included Johnson landing three blows to the head as the players ripped each other's helmets off.
The $25,000 fine is the same amount that Raiders defensive end Richard Seymour was docked for knocking down Ben Roethlisberger a week earlier — and drew complaints from Steelers players that the penalty wasn't harsh enough.

We've rounded up the top 7 kids' events on Long Island this October, including an autism-friendly movie screening of Frankenweenie, Thrill the World @ Islip, and fun family shows, plus tons of great Halloween events!
Oct. 13
Children with autism and their families can view the new Disney film Frankenweenie in a sensory-friendly environment where lights are up, sound is down, and kids can dance, walk, shout, and sing. Screenings take place at: AMC Lowes Nassau Metroplex 10 in Levittown; AMC Lowes Theaters at Stonybrook 17 in Stonybrook; and AMC Loews Shore 8 in Huntington.
Heckscher State Park, East Islip
Oct. 14
As many as three million Americans may have Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease that usually strikes in childhood, adolescence, or young adulthood and lasts a lifetime. Help the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Long Island chapter raise money for research when you join its Walk to Cure Diabetes, a 3-mile family-friendly walk at Heckscher State Park.
Heckscher Museum of Art, Huntington
Kids will get a dose of culture at the Heckscher Family Hour: A Colorful Celebration. Museum educator Tami Wood will give a family-friendly tour of the museum's exhibit, Absorbed by Color: Art in the 20th Century, and encourage a conversation about the art followed by hands-on gallery projects. The activity is appropriate for toddlers and elementary-aged children. Registration is recommended, as space is limited.
Halloween may not be an official holiday, but try telling that to the millions of children (and adults) who start thinking about their costumes on Nov. 1—of the year before. If you're ready for some spooky fun, we highly suggest checking out The Rise of the Jack O' Lanterns at Old Westbury Gardens as well as these family-friendly events. Then head to nymetroparents.com/halloween for a cauldron full of Halloween tips and treats, plus tons of giveaways!
Nassau County Museum of Art, Roslyn Harbor
Oct. 20
Exhibition: Marc Chagall features works by the celebrated artist who tells stories through his paintings, often about his childhood village in Russia. Chagall's pieces introduce a world where people and animals—cows, goats, donkeys, horses, and birds—defy the laws of gravity and float upside down or sideways. In Discover Chagall's Childhood World, families will visit the exhibition, interact with animals in a special petting zoo, and collaborate on pastel drawings that represent their own neighborhoods.
Long Island Children's Museum, Garden City
Oct. 21
Periphery Theatre of Madrid Spain presents Guyi-Guyi, a humorous play about a crocodile raised by ducks that teaches kids a valuable life lesson. Join Guyi-Guyi on his journey as he follows his instincts and learns how to be a "good" crocodile.
Brookwood Hall Park, East Islip
Oct. 27
Now in its third year, Thrill the World @ Islip will join with similar events across the globe to attempt to break the world record for the largest simultaneous Thriller dance while raising money for local, national, and international charities. Show your support and watch as dozens of people of all ages dance to Michael Jackson's spooky song. The Long Island Flash Mob Organization will make an appearance as well. Some of the charities slated to benefit from the proceeds include the ASPCA, Sierra Club, Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and Island Harvest, Long Island's largest food pantry. Those who would like to participate in the dance should sign up by Oct. 12 on the website.
(In photo: A little rain didn't deter the 72 "zombies" who participated in last year's dance.)
John W. Engeman Theater, Northport
Weekends in October
Anyone who loves the books of Dr. Seuss should find time to see Seussical, a musical that joins many of the author's most popular characters in one adventure that takes them from the Jungle of Nool to New York City. The Engeman's Youth Theater program is sponsored by Bethpage Federal Credit Union.

Mounting Plasma on Brick Veneer
I've installed a 58" Panasonic plasma tv (~130 lbs) on a brick veneer wall. The veneer isn't the thin type of brick veneer, but whole bricks.
I used a low profile Peerless mounting bracket (Model ST660), which is rated for 200 lbs, and five 5/16" X 1 3/4" masonry anchors (the plastic sleeve type). They're rated at 300lbs vertical and 150lb pull (sheer?).
Does this sound safe to you? My wife is giving me mondo-grief :furious: about the install, swearing the mondo-expensive tv will come crashing down.
I appreciate any feedback you all can provide.
Just be carefull what you watch.Paris Hilton vs. Rosanne Barr.No documentaries on whales or elephants.Golf vs. football...actually it depends on the brick and how it was installed.If it's holding now.it's probably good,but like your wife I'd like to see it secured to backing behind the brick.

This is the easiest chocolate icing to whip up for chocolate cakes and cupcakes, full of nourishing deliciousness.
What you need (for 12 cup cakes. Best to double it for a full sized cake that needs coverage of sides)
75g avocado
75g coconut cream 'top' (meaning, refrigerated coconut cream that you open the can of and just use the top, really solid bit. Use the rest for smoothies, porridge or hot chocolate)
75g coconut sugar (for a fructose free version you can also use 60g rice syrup but it won't set quite as well)
50g raw cacao powder
What to do
Blitz your coconut sugar first (in a blender or mini food processor on high for 15 seconds or a thermomix on speed 8 for 4 seconds)
Add everything else and blitz on medium speed for 5-10 seconds until well combined
Ice your cakes / cupcakes and pop in fridge to set for 20 minutes if you have time, otherwise just serve straight away. It has a rich chocolate mousse consistency when freshly made. So, so good!
Delicious. Easy. Nourishing icing that will NOT send children up the walls post consumption, yet will have them raving.

Real Food. Happy Bodies.

High-purity platinum wire is produced for use in both Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRTs) and type S and type R thermocouples. The resistance ratio W(T90) and thermoelectric characteristics of the wire are a function of chemical purity and physical strain, and the characteristics of a given specimen can be compared to those of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1967. A commonly reported resistance ratio which is highly sensitive (i.e. most readily observable) to impurity and strain is the so-called residual resistance ratio X_RR or R(273.15 K)/R(4.2 K). We present data in terms of X_RR and W(T90) from well-annealed Pt samples of the original SRM 1967, its contemporary substitute SRM 1967a, and a collection of NIST capsule-type SPRTs. We analyze the correlations in our resistance ratio data and compare our contemporary data with historical data from the literature.
Conference Dates: August 22-25, 2011
Conference Location: National Harbor, MD
Conference Title: National Conference of Standards Laboratories International 2011
Pub Type: Conferences

TimeOut has gathered musicians whose history with Flying Nun goes back to the early period of the label and asked them to share their thoughts on this month's 30th anniversary.
It wasn't like this in our day ... or was it? With Flying Nun Records celebrating its 30th anniversary this month with a series of shows and releases, we asked a selection of the leading lights from the independent label's first generation - all of whom are still performing -to reflect on its past and present.
The label has been back under the steerage of founder Roger Shepherd for the past two years and it's had a steady trickle of releases from acts both old and new. As well there has been a re-release campaign from the archives which started with the 1981 release of catalogue number FN 001 - the seven-inch single Ambivalence by Christchurch band The Pin Group. They were one of a wave of South Island post-punk groups that grabbed the attention of then-record store manager Shepherd who thought he should start a label to capture what was happening.
The Pin Group didn't exactly go on to greater things. But many others on the label did. Here's some of them talking about the meaning of the anniversary and the label's legacy.
Had there been no Flying Nun, where would we be now?
Shayne Carter: Crying bitterly into our schooners that we could have been contenders? No. I think it's important to remember that the bands made Flying Nun, not the other way around. There's been any number of talented people involved with that label and I'm sure they would've found some way of expressing themselves even if Flying Nun never existed. Flying Nun was a facilitator but the company wasn't exactly sending out memos about stage manners or how to write a song.
Kaye Woodward: Perish the thought that all those bands would have been left languishing in obscurity - complete and utter as opposed to semi - so we have to say that another or other labels would have put at least some of them out. What would be missing and irreplaceable is the collective spirit of Flying Nun, created by those bands all being in it together with Roger at the heart of it.
Graeme Downes: Well, I doubt I'd be doing what I am doing, still writing and producing albums (new one this month), surely I would have given up well before now, as would others. Not that Flying Nun did a perfect job mind you, but then again the parallel universe without it is a bleak one.
Denise Roughan: In the doldrums.
Robert Scott: Same place we are now, I guess a lot of the music would have come out somehow, at some stage.
What's the best Flying Nun album ever?
Carter: I still love the first Gordons album especially the Flying Nun version that includes the Future Shock EP. It still sounds so alien and self-determined and unlike anything else. True outsider rock. I'd rate it on a par with Funhouse [by Iggy and the Stooges] or something. It's a classic record.
Woodward: Hard to choose but it's probably the Look Blue Go Purple compilation, those EPs got played a lot round the house because the music is warm in winter and cool in summer. The video of driving round the hills near Dunedin makes the music even prettier.
Downes: Probably Tuatara [the 1985 compilation of earlier releases], if for no other reason than it made the world sit up.
Roughan: 10 o'clock in the afternoon by the Verlaines. Not an album, but it's retained a major fave status of mine since first released.
Scott: Tuatara, for its breadth of talent and style.
The best song?
Carter: Point That Thing by the Clean.
Woodward: Favourites change but some songs I've thrashed are The Subliminals' Oh Oh, The Cake Kitchen's Witness To Your Secrets, Tall Dwarfs' The Slide, Nelsh Bailter Space's New Man (live with massive guitar sound and Ross Humphreys continuously whacking the stage with a large chain is the best version I experienced).
Downes: Getting Older by the Clean.
Roughan: Twist Top by the Clean.
Scott: Point that Thing by the Clean.
Who's the unsung hero of the label ?
Carter: My vote would probably go to Peter Gutteridge. He was a founding member of the Clean and the Chills (and the Great Unwashed) and the stuff he did early on with Snapper totally predated a sound that a lot of overseas bands later became successful with. Peter was ahead of the game and had a bullseye view of the rock'n'roll aesthetic. He totally knew how it should sound. He wrote any number of great tunes as well. It's kind of criminal that he has never played outside of New Zealand.
Woodward: I think a lot of the video makers get overlooked. It has always been hard to find the money to make videos which are such an important part of getting the music seen and heard. People like John Christoffels, Stuart Page, Peter Bannan, Johnny Ogilvie, Pat O'Neill and Christian Carruthers have made great videos for The Bats and other bands for very little or nothing. They are all artists in their own right but it might not be known what they've contributed to Flying Nun.
Downes: In terms of cultural impact versus revenue, everyone is an unsung hero.
Roughan: Has to be Tex Houston [soundman, engineer and producer], not because he's unsung, as in unappreciated, but because he's one of those behind the scenes people who always go the extra mile for friends (plus money and beer, in no particular order).
Scott: Lesley Paris [onetime Flying Nun general manager after Shepherd went to the UK] for all her work and help in a difficult time, also her sense of taste and vision.
Who's the brightest star among the label's recent young acts and why?
Carter: Hate to be obvious but I guess the Mint Chicks and Die! Die! Die!. I think the stuff the Mint Chicks people have come up with individually since they broke up is proof of their talent. And Die! Die! Die!, on their night, are one of the best live bands I've seen in the last decade.
Woodward: Favourite young Flying Nun band is T54, yes, it's partly because I know Matt and Joe, but mainly because they are a unit that puts out something greater than its parts, which is a great quality in a band.
Downes: I haven't caught up with new signings yet.
Roughan: Maybe Grayson Gilmour. He seems to come from a galaxy far far away.
Scott: T54 from Christchurch are pretty cool - great bass, guitar drum combo and good singing and songwriting too. How can you fail if you are named after an Eastern bloc tank? Surf Friends are pretty cool too.
Having been there for the10th anniversary, the 15th, the 21st anniversary, is this 30th celebrating the same thing as its predecessors?
Carter: Well, there have been many chapters to the Flying Nun story, and not all of them have been wonderful and romantic. But as far as being a specific entry in our cultural history - yes, it's definitely worth a toast or two.
Woodward: No, this is more special because it was really so unexpected that Roger would get the label back and start it up again. It will be a wonderful welcome back to Flying Nun. Amazing that a few of the bands have carried on regardless and are still intact and ready to be hauled back on board.
Downes: Hopefully not. Hopefully it celebrates renewal as much as past achievements. I know I will be.
Roughan: Of course not. This is a different animal altogether, and anyone interested enough will have gleaned that already. It's a new label in numerous respects.
Scott: No, it's celebrating 30 years; quite different, there is a lot more to look back on, so many highlights.
Any qualms about this anniversary spotlighting what you did in your youth? And was it misspent?
Carter: Oscar Wilde was right when he talked about regarding your youth with a "tender contempt". But misspent ? Nah ...
Woodward: The Bats didn't/don't fight too much, break the law or deliberately piss people off and we were/are all far too stingy to spend money on expensive drugs (like alcohol) that make you do embarrassing things. (Mind you, there could always be stuff I can't remember).
Downes: Hits and misses, triumphs and failures, I'd do it all again to get to where I am, so no qualms. In many ways I'm still in my youth in terms of believing writing songs is a worthwhile way to spend your time.
Roughan: I have always been a nervous performer and that always shows, so that's a qualm. Was my youth misspent? I can't remember.
Scott: No qualms. Life is what happens to you, some things remain unknown to the general public - and it should be that way.
The participants
Shayne Carter: Now of Dimmer, previously Straitjacket Fits, DoubleHappys and Bored Games. Also featured on Jon Toogood's The Adults album and tour.
Graeme Downes: Of The Verlaines and senior lecturer in music at the University of Otago.
Robert Scott: Solo artist, singer-guitarist in The Bats and bassist in The Clean.
Denise Roughan: Bassist in Ghost Club, previously The 3Ds and Look Blue Go Purple.
Kaye Woodward: Guitarist and singer in The Bats.

Uh, oh! I think mommy is taking me to the vet next week. She caught me scratching at my ears a lot and none of that horrible cold stuff she puts in there is helping. She also found a little lump on my side during a B-A-T-H and wants to get that checked out since it did a little bigger. I can't wait to go because that place has so many smells and people pet and love me there. It should be fun unless they put more of that cold wet stuff in my ears. I can't stand that!
Wish me luck on being good and getting a treat after my visit!
Oh my gosh have I been having fun. Mom and dad keep bringing these people into the house and I get to bark and bark and bark at them. Then I get to run around in circles in the kitchen until they pay attention to me. It is so much fun. Meeting new people is my favorite thing to do...well maybe not. I do kind of like eating...
My sister (Becka) says that she is going to figure out how to get those water cubes out of the big box. I really hope so because those are so much fun to eat and chase around the kitchen floor and they are fun to eat. Did you know that water cubes are fun to eat?
I can't wait for mom and dad to get home and we can run around outside with the little people. They love to visit and I can't wait to chase them. They always smell so good. They smell like...food!
Great, we have more snow on the ground and my mom tells me there is more to come. Perfect. I hate going outside in the snow and rain. I wish they would just let me stay inside where it's dry, warm, and all the food is available.
Did you know that I love food? I do. It tastes so good and feels so good in my tummy. Mom says I can only have the food she gives me and I can't help my sisters finish their dinners because of some kind of thing with my weight being bad for my joints...sounds like a conspiracy to keep my favorite thing from me. One of these days I will figure out how to get the lid off that bin full of food.
I think I heard whispers of a trip to the park this weekend, I hope my ears were just acting up and those aren't the plans. Don't they realize it's cold and there is snow on the ground?!?!

Sadly, Casey Viator didn't live long enough to see his inclusion on this honor roll. He died on Sept. 4, his 62nd birthday. Viator, who won the 1971 Mr. America at 19, was arguably the greatest teenage bodybuilder ever. He competed only sporadically after that, but he won three pro contests in 1980 and was third in the 1982 Mr. Olympia, shortly before retiring at 31.
Like Platz, he was a paragon of high-rep, high-intensity strength. These Viator lifts were purportedly witnessed by a journalist in a 1971 full-body workout: squat, 505 x 14; behind-the-neck press, 215 x 20; dips, 100 x 20; barbell curl, 200 x 20; and deadlift, 400 x 30. There's photographic evidence of his using even greater weights in later years, though probably for fewer reps. By the standards of his era, Viator was considered a "mass monster." The size he was then, 230 at 5'8", is no longer shocking, but the weights he used for 20 or more reps are still scary.
- 1. Bench Press: 2 sets of 20 reps with 350 pounds
- 2. Incline barbell press: 3 sets of 20 reps with 225 pounds
- 3. Parallel bar dips: 3 sets of 20 reps with 100 pounds
- 4. Cable crossover: 3 sets of 20 reps with 40 pounds
Check back tomorrow for another workout from the 10 Strongest Bodybuilders!

Jose Mourinho's first season as Manchester United manager has not quite been the unmitigated success the club's supporters might have expected when he joined last summer.
Wayne Rooney and David Beckham were just two of the names who took to social media to voice their support for families affected by the Manchester attack.
Diego Costa continues to be linked with Tianjin Quanjian but the Chinese club say they have not held any recent talks.

Internet Banking Terms and Conditions Agreement
Internet Banking allows you to transfer funds among certain accounts you have at this bank, review account activity and balances and download account statements into personal financial software.
This Internet Banking - Terms and Conditions Agreement, as well as other Terms and Conditions governing your other accounts at this bank, governs use of this product. Please read these rules carefully and retain them for your records. We have the right to change these Terms and Conditions at any time, as permitted by law, by notice mailed or emailed to you at the last known address we have on file.
By signing an enrollment form to subscribe to certain personal computer banking and related services offered by Minster Bank, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Each reference in this Agreement to the "Bank", "Minster Bank", "we", "us", or "our" refers to Minster Bank, and each reference to "you" and "your" refers to each depositor, borrower, authorized signer, or authorized user for an account who is now or hereafter enrolled in any one or more of Minster Bank Internet Banking services with respect to the account. Each time you use Minster Bank Internet Banking service constitutes confirmation by you of your agreement to and understanding of the terms of this Agreement and any screens that appear on your computer when you sign on Minster Bank's Web Site. This agreement will be effective as of the date of our acceptance of this Agreement as evidenced by our issuance of a PIN to you.
Browser Security
Minster Bank Internet Banking transmits data using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that supports 128-bit key encryption. It is important to verify that a secure connection between your browser and the Internet Banking server has been established before transmitting any confidential account information over the Internet. An indicator on your web browser can verify this. Netscape Navigator has a key symbol that appears in the lower left corner of the screen. When the symbol appears "solid" transmitted data is being encrypted. When this symbol appears "broken", a secure session has not been established. Similarly, Microsoft Internet Explorer has a lock symbol that appears when data is being encrypted. When this symbol does not appear, a session is not secure.
Minster Bank's web server does not connect directly to the Internet. It is buffered from the Internet through the use of a firewall. All access from outside the bank must go through this firewall, which screens the requests and allows only valid http traffic to reach the server. Minster Bank's Internet Banking makes use of an ICSA certified firewall.
Hardware and Software Requirements
To be able to use Minster Bank's web site, you must provide your own personal computer (a "PC") with a modem and related equipment (the "Hardware"). You also must provide the type of telephone service and Internet access service required by the Hardware and/or the Software. Once the Hardware has been properly connected to the telephone service, and any required Internet access has been established, you will be able to access Minster Bank Internet services through the PC banking service provider (the "Service Provider") that will act as an interface between you and the Bank. You are and will remain solely responsible for the purchase, hook-up, installation, loading, operation and maintenance of the Hardware, the Software, the telephone service, and the Internet access service (if applicable) to your PC, and for all related costs. You are solely responsible for scanning the Hardware and the Software for computer viruses and other related problems before you use them.
PIN & Confidentiality of PIN
All Minster Bank Internet Banking transactions or inquiries must be initiated by use of your Minster Bank Internet Banking personal identification number (the "PIN"). We will assign you a PIN after we have accepted your Application. The first time you sign on Minster Bank Internet Banking, you will be required to select a new access id (login) and PIN. You may change your PIN from time to time, as provided in the Software. It is recommended that you do not use your social security number, birthdays, names, or other codes that may be easy for others to determine as your PIN. No Bank employee will ever ask for your PIN, nor should you provide it to anyone unless you intend to allow that person access to your accounts. YOU AGREE TO KEEP YOUR PIN CONFIDENTIAL. USE OF THE PIN BY YOU OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON WITH YOUR AUTHORIZATION WILL BE CONSIDERED THE SAME AS YOUR WRITTEN SIGNATURE AUTHORIZING US TO COMPLETE ANY TRANSACTION OR REQUEST COMMUNICATED THROUGH MINSTER BANK INTERNET BANKING. You agree that any Minster Bank Internet transaction or request initiated by use of the PIN will be subject to and governed by this Agreement. If you authorize another person to use your PIN, that person can use Minster Bank Internet to view any information or initiate any transaction on any of the accounts to the same extent as you, including viewing information or initiating transactions on accounts to which that person does not otherwise have access. As such, your sharing of your PIN is strongly discouraged by the Bank, and done at your sole risk and peril. If a third party should gain access to your PIN, you alone are responsible for changing the PIN so as to deny the third party's access to your banking information. Given the electronic nature of these transactions, the Bank shall have no liability to you in the event a third party should gain access to your PIN through no fault of the Bank. You should always exit Minster Bank Internet site after you finish viewing your accounts. Never leave your computer unattended while accessing Minster Bank Internet. If you should, a third party may be able to access your accounts from your terminal, without ever needing to use your PIN.
