The NSW government has rejected federal government claims a decision to build homes near Canberra Airport will stymie its use as a second airport for Sydney.
The state government is set to approve the rezoning of the Tralee Housing Development to allow 1000 new homes south of Queanbeyan in a $400 million venture.
Federal Transport Minister Anthony Albanese says the move undermines NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell's plan to use Canberra Airport as a second hub for Sydney.
But NSW Planning Minister Brad Hazzard disagrees.
"In fact everything we have done today allows that possibility still to occur," Mr Hazzard told reporters in Sydney after announcing the rezoning plan on Tuesday.
He said the development was "logical, sensible, and merit-based", striking a balance between allowing Canberra Airport to grow while delivering much-needed housing to the area.
He accused Mr Albanese of being out to score political points.
"The only issue he's been particularly interested in was having a political mudslinging fight today," Mr Hazzard said, adding that the move was supported by other ALP politicians such as local federal Labor MP Mike Kelly and NSW opposition planning spokesman Steve Whan.
However, Mr Albanese said the move showed Mr O'Farrell's plan to use the airport as a second hub was "farcical and completely contradictory".
He also queried the timing of the NSW government's announcement.
"Melbourne Cup day is known among politicians and journalists as one of those days known as `put out your trash day'," Mr Albanese said.
He has refused to rule out court action over the issue, saying he had already appealed to the state government to review the decision.
Mr Albanese said passenger traffic at Canberra Airport was forecast to grow by 36 per cent in the next decade, with an average 97 flights a day over the Tralee area.
There was no curfew at Canberra Airport so residents under the flight path would be affected by aircraft noise around the clock, he said.
ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher said she hoped the federal government would do what it could to avoid such an outcome.
"But I think from the ACT government's point of view, there is very little we can do," she told reporters in Canberra.

Citation: Magidin, M., Pittman, J.K., Hirschi, K., Bartel, B. 2003. ILR2, a novel gene regulating IAA conjugate sensitivity and metal transport in Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant Journal. 35(4):523-534. Interpretive Summary: The ability to manipulate plants to increase yield and nutrient content depends on our ability to manipulate plant growth. Here we describe a novel gene involved in plant metal transport. Eventually, we can manipulate this gene to alter the nutritional content of important crops.
Technical Abstract: Plants can regulate levels of the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) by conjugation to amino acids or sugars, and subsequent hydrolysis of these conjugates to release active IAA. These less active auxin conjugates constitute the majority of IAA in plants. We isolated the Arabidopsis ilr2-1 mutant as a recessive IAA-leucine resistant mutant that retains wild-type sensitivity to free IAA. ilr2-1 is also defective in lateral root formation and primary root elongation. In addition, ilr2-1 is resistant to manganese- and cobalt-mediated inhibition of root elongation, and microsomal preparations from the ilr2-1 mutant exhibit enhanced ATP-dependent manganese transport. We used a map-based positional approach to clone the ILR2 gene, which encodes a novel protein with no predicted membrane-spanning domains that is polymorphic among Arabidopsis accessions. Our results demonstrate that ILR2 modulates a metal transporter, providing a novel link between auxin conjugate metabolism and metal homeostasis.

At an annual meeting of members during his spell as Lancashire's coach in the early 90s, David Lloyd was once asked by an eccentric and elderly supporter from Blackpool: "David, are we going to win the County Championship before I die?"
The county have not done so since 1934, so long ago that Jack Hobbs scored a century against them for Surrey at Old Trafford, and a row flared up with Nottinghamshire over the possibility of "leg theory" tactics being employed by Harold Larwood and Bill Voce before a trip to Trent Bridge.
But Lancashire go into their last game of the season against Surrey at The Oval today six points ahead of their closest challengers Sussex, with Durham a further 2½ points behind. Victory will guarantee Lancashire the title. Any slip-ups and Sussex, who host Worcestershire at Hove, or Durham, who play Kent at Canterbury, could walk away with the honour.
Several omens are in their favour: 73 years ago, they won the championship at The Oval, and then as now Sussex were their closest rivals; then, too, like the current captain Mark Chilton, Peter Eckersley was a quiet leader who refused to count any chickens. "No, I'm sorry," Eckersley said when asked to reflect that the title was safe after Surrey had been made to follow-on 159 runs behind. "It is not yet won. We are superstitious."
Yet a pessimist would point out that the last time the county led going into the final round of matches, in 1950, they also needed to win their last game at The Oval to secure the title, and failed.
Roy Tattersall does not fall into that pessimistic category. The former England off-spinner is hoping to watch that damned elusive championship secured from his Kidderminster home over the next four days, thanks to his daughters who recently bought him a subscription to Sky Sports for his 85th birthday. But Tattersall is one of only three survivors of that 1950 team, to which he contributed a remarkable 193 wickets, and still remembers vividly how the title slipped away.
"We should have won it in our last home match, when we would have beaten Warwickshire if it hadn't rained," he reflected yesterday. "But still, if we'd have managed four points for the first-innings lead at Surrey, we would have been champions. But unfortunately they got them and then won their last match against Leicestershire to pull level with us, so we ended up sharing the championship with them."
It is not long in any discussion of the reasons behind Lancashire's long championship drought before the damp Manchester climate crops up. They have finished second five times in the last nine years, and in 2003 and again last summer they were denied by Sussex, having lost far more time to the weather than Chris Adams' team. "The big difference this year is that it's been a bloody awful summer all over the country," says Jack Simmons, now Lancashire's chairman. "I've been going to other counties and hearing them saying how much rain they've had, and said, 'What a pity. We've been putting up with this for 100-odd years'."
Simmons is also wary of a sting in the tail, from a Surrey whoare likely to put up much stiffer resistance than relegated Worcestershire at Sussex. "If we could get [Mark] Ramprakash out for 50, I'd take that," he said of the Surrey run machine who represents the most significant obstacle to Lancashire's progress, with 1,700 in 23 innings at an average of almost 90.

Let's be honest, most of us go to church to have our needs met. What's wrong with that? Nothing at the surface, but go a little deeper and you find that was not the true intention of Jesus with His New Testament Church. Mat. 16:18 "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."
Regrettably, we don't see much of the church that Jesus was speaking of. Prayer has been removed from our schools, the shedding of innocent blood happens at the rate of over 4000 babies each day and restrictions upon Christian freedoms are escalating each day! Most Christians are oblivious or apathetic to the whole process. It doesn't sound like the Church that the gates of hell will not overcome!
In Acts 17:6 we read about some disciples who "have turned the world upside down". The church cannot turn the world upside down by staying inside the walls and being overly concerned about their own needs!
The true Church of Jesus Christ is to influence the world! How can we influence the world when our focus is on ourself? Mat. 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
The truth is, if we focus on what Jesus wants He will take care of what we need! Mat. 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth."
We are the salt of the earth! Salt doesn't do much good if it's left in the salt shaker! Our emphasis is not that we "go to a church service" but that we go into the world to "serve" the Living God.
At Church Without Walls, our Superior official is without a doubt the Lord Jesus Christ!
Philem. 1:4 "I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints. I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ."
1 Cor. 11:1 (NIV) Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. (KJV) Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
Eph. 5:10 "Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. 11Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them."
Pilots are not made in ground school they are made in the airplane. Christians will never become what God intends for us to be if we stay in the class room! It just won't work!
If your heart agrees with this statement we would love for you to be a part of this tremendous mission to evangelize the lost; make disciples through example and action; and engage our society according to Eph. 5:10.

K9 Loft [view the full listing]
Los Angeles, CA 90026
(213) 484-6006
This is a fabulous place
I am soooo happy that K9 Loft exists. The staff is great - professional, caring, and on top of things. Also, the place itself is fun to visit. You can watch the dogs play in the big pen, there are lots of great gifts and toys for dogs, they carry good quality dog food, and the grooming area is quite nice. The best thing though is definitely the web cam. It's kind of addictive. I have kenneled my dogs here and they never get traumatized. In fact, once my dog didn't seem to want to leave! I think the prices are also reasonable and, if you're a KCRW fringe benefits member, you get a discount. I've recommended K9 to everyone I know with dogs. I hope this place is here to stay.posted: December 10th, 2007

4:45 pm : I'm clicking on "send" and it's gonna rock.
— Cédric Brun (@bruncedric) 6 mars 2013
Let me introduce you to Eclipse Sirius !
Have you ever wanted a nice graphical environment customized for your domain data but been discouraged by the complexity of all the technologies needed to create one? Maybe you compromised and decided to use an existing format or notation, even if it does not completely fit your needs, just to benefit from the associated tools. Fear no more! Instead of adapting your needs to some existing tool, with Sirius the tooling adapts itself to you, as it should be. And you don't even need to learn about the Eclipse Modeling stack, we did it for you.
That said, if you want to tweak something you can always plug your customization in through the underlying frameworks, namely : GMF, GEF, EMF and the Eclipse Platform.
How did it all start ?
It's no vaporware. We started the development of Sirius a few years ago with Thales. We've set-up together a great team to build this technology, known as Doremi at that time.
Thanks to this collaboration, we've reached a very high level of maturity: Sirius is used in many very large projects within Thales and it's been around in Obeo Designer for a few years already. It is also the foundation of several tools you can already find in the Eclipse Marketplace, some of them being installed by more than 2000 users a month.
We are not kidding.
This contribution to Eclipse means a whole new team will become commiters. They have been working on Sirius for years and you already know them as contributors. You will now see those guys from Thales and Obeo co-leading and working in the open.
What about Obeo Designer ?
Sirius is one Obeo Designer's components. Once published via Eclipse the Sirius open source version will be included in Obeo Designer.
Sirius being open-source doesn't change much besides strengthening Obeo Designer by significantly growing the user base of one of its components. This means more diverse usages, more tests "in the wild" and potentially more designers to reuse or extend.
Obeo Designer remains a commercial product : a strong and open platform to build and deploy your modeling environment with well integrated and tested components. It is the perfect companion for professional usage by bringing collaborative modeling and support.
Why ?
First because it is in our DNA, we strive to build great products in the open. And our partners are supporting us on this, especially Thales, since Sirius is the result of many years of a joint and rich collaboration with Obeo.
Secondly to unleash the energies in Eclipse Modeling. There is a lot of interest in this domain, companies are in dire need of solutions but the cost to fill the gap between what they need and what Eclipse Modeling provides right now is too high. We are reducing this gap with Sirius and this will trigger more usage and more funding for Eclipse Modeling as a whole.
We also want to work with you, fellow commiters and OSS tool providers, in building the best tools ever. We are building a great component, but having a non open-source runtime may slow down its adoption. This last barrier is now gone.
Have some questions ?
I'm sure you have tons of them. Please use the dedicated Eclipse forum.
Want to know more ?
. At 1:30 pm On Tuesday .
I'll present the project with Stephane Bonnet from Thales in the session :
"Your custom modeling environment definition made easy. At last !"
During this session you'll learn about the project, its goals, its current deployments and you'll see it in action with live demos.
I will also introduce the project during the Modeling Symposium later the same day !
Sirius brings you the ability to quickly define your dedicated editors : diagram, tree, tables, it would be a shame not to show you what you can do with it :

Building and evolving software systems is an arduous, costly, lengthy, and complex task. The resulting systems are similarly complex. We're thus constantly searching for ways to reduce such costs, time, and complexity while increasing system functionality and quality. Not surprisingly, our quest for "silver bullets," as described by Frederick Brooks back in 1987, 1 hasn't produced significant improvements. Instead, we've achieved steady, incremental improvements in the enterprise of building and evolving software systems.
The complexity of "simple"
One strategy that seemed promising when Brooks wrote his article was the notion of "buy not build." Using COTS products is one way to implement this strategy, because software development then becomes the process of "simply" integrating COTS components. However, it turns out that dealing with COTS is a high-risk activity for a variety of reasons.
The initial manifestation that integrating is something other than a simple integration activity appears in the form of the architecture mismatch problem. 2 COTS components make several assumptions about architectural issues. Then, when these assumptions conflict or don't match, the simplicity of using COTS quickly disappears in a cloud of complexity and integration scaffolding. The root of the problem is the lack of access to the components' source code and developers.
Moreover, we seldom find ourselves in a pure COTS component integration environment, because we usually use a hybrid of specially developed components mixed with COTS components or products. Thus, instead of an endgame activity, using COTS products becomes an integral part of the entire software development life cycle. It transcends social, economic, and development concerns and affects all traditional aspects of software development—requirements engineering, architecture, design, implementation, testing, and long-term maintenance.
Over the past decade, data- and control-integration mechanisms and standards have matured significantly. Moreover, COTS products have become end-user programmable, extensible, and interoperable. Although we shouldn't hype the combination of these improvements as a silver bullet, they have led to new avenues for incorporating COTS into software systems.
Innovative COTS integration
The idea for this special issue of IEEE Software grew out of two recent COTS workshops. The first was the International Workshop on Incorporating COTS into Software Systems (IWICSS), held at the International Conference of COTS-Based Software Systems (ICCBSS 2004). The motivation behind IWICSS was to address the integration of COTS into the entire development life cycle. The second was the Fourth Workshop on Adoption-Centric Software Engineering (ACSE), held at the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2004). The motivation behind the series of ACSE workshops was to investigate how to extend COTS products to build software engineering research tools. Users are more likely to evaluate and adopt such research tools if they're already familiar with the host COTS, so we need to leverage the COTS products' functionality, cognitive support, and interoperability.
The focus articles in this issue explore innovative ways of integrating COTS products into software systems for purposes often unimagined by their creators. They investigate the challenges, risks, and benefits of building COTS-based software systems.
"An Active-Architecture Approach to COTS Integration," by Brian Warboys, Bob Snowdon, R. Mark Greenwood, Wykeen Seet, Ian Robertson, Ron Morrison, Graham Kirby, Dharini Balasubramaniam, and Katherine Mickan, presents a mechanism for recognizing COTS products as integral parts of any information system's environment. The authors' ArchWare framework addresses the integration problems of COTS and other components using an active-architectural model that captures the composition and integration of these elements and changes as the system evolves. The goal is to manage both the predicted and emergent changes that result from using COTS components as elements in a system's architecture.
Addressing the critical issue of coordinating COTS components is the focus of the next article, "Coordinating COTS Applications via a Business Event Layer," by Wilfried Lemahieu, Monique Snoeck, Frank Goethals, Manu De Backer, Raf Haesen, Guido Dedene, and Jacques Vandenbulcke. Recognizing the need for a dynamic structure within which components can execute and interact, the authors raise the level of the coordination mechanisms. Moving away from the message-oriented middleware prevalent today, the authors use a more appropriate level of abstraction—namely that of business events. These events reside in the problem space and provide an appropriate domain-specific model for coordination and concurrent execution.
Another prominent issue in software systems is performance, which is typically addressed at the architecture, design, and implementation levels. Maximizing performance usually requires making trade-offs in the various components when the code is available for manipulation, but this is difficult with COTS components. In "Performance Techniques for COTS Systems," Erik Putrycz, Murray Woodside, and Xiuping Wu use new tracing techniques as the basis for building performance models of COTS components. These models can then be used when reasoning about performance trade-offs in the architecture planning, design, implementation, and deployment stages of built systems incorporating COTS components.
A variety of issues are involved in selecting appropriate components for a system, whether they're pre-existing product-line assets, COTS components, or COTS products. As in performance, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that the code isn't available for evaluation the way it is for other assets that we use and reuse. In "Evaluating COTS Component Dependability in Context," Paolo Donzelli, Marvin Zelkowitz, Victor Basili, Dan Allard, and Kenneth N. Meyer provide an empirical COTS evaluation process that addresses risk issues by focusing on the context in which the component will be used. A case study illustrates their approach.
Traditional process models assume that development and evolution processes are largely based on a fresh beginning and internal control of the architecture, design, and source code. Based on their experiences of empirically analyzing COTS-based applications, in "Value-Based Processes for COTS-Based Applications," Ye Yang, Jesal Bhita, Daniel N. Port, and Barry Boehm describe a set of value-based processes to minimize the risks of integrating COTS components into an application. They provide guidelines, an associated framework, and a set of processes to support COTS-based application development.
In the future, COTS products will play an increasingly important role in not only software product engineering but also software engineering tool development. Over the past decade, we've witnessed a consolidation of data, control, and presentation integration techniques, which will significantly ease the integration difficulties of COTS. Investigating the challenges and risks involved in leveraging COTS products in systems and tools will be a hot research topic for years to come.

text: Whitecaps reeling after improbable Toronto FC romp - Vancouver Sun June 19, 200912:00AM PDT Previous Next BY GARY KINGSTON At home in front of his television set, Bob Lenarduzzi watched in near shock Thursday as his Vancouver Whitecaps' almost certain advance to the CONCACAF Champions League stunningly washed away on a wet Thursday night in Montreal. "Just extreme disappointment," said the 'Caps president as the final whistle blew in Toronto FC's gutsy 6-1 victory over the Montreal Impact, a result that made the Major Soccer League squad the Nutrilite Canadian champions on goal differential. "No, I didn't expect that, certainly not 6-1. It seems inconceivable." Toronto, which wound up with the same 3-1-0 record as Vancouver in the three-team, home-and-away series, needed to beat the Impact by four goals to advance. They did it with a goal to spare, giving up the opening tally on a penalty, then continually storming the attacking half of the field against an injury-riddled Impact and backup goalkeeper Srdjan Djekanovic. Impact head coach Marc Dos Santos, whose club had no chance to win the Voyageurs Cup trophy and must play a regular-season date with the Whitecaps on Saturday, defended his starting lineup. It included only two players who started against Toronto in a 1-0 loss on May 13 to open the four-game round-robin. "There were a lot of replacements on the field, but anyone who the Impact signs to play has the quality to play," he told reporters in Montreal. "I don't think that player A, B or C did bad. I think it was collectively our character." Toronto head coach Chris Cummins said people had written his team off, "but there is something special building with the club. Credit the lads, they came up with goals at the right time." Lenarduzzi, whose USL First Division team had beaten Toronto 2-0 at Swangard Stadium on June 3 to put themselves in tremendous position to advance, gave Toronto "full credit. "You could see their confidence starting to rise when it got to 3-1. It's easy to be critical [of the Impact], but I'd rather give Toronto credit for doing what they needed to do." Toronto, which had scored as many as four goals only once in its short three-year history, now advances to meet the Puerto Rico Islanders of the USL in a home-and-home series in mid-summer late July for the right to move into the CONCACAF Group Stage. With the Whitecaps players watching from the stands, the celebrating Toronto players took the trophy over to an exuberant band of shirts-off supporters who had made the trip to Montreal. "We did almost as much as we could," said Lenarduzzi. "We put Toronto in a position where they had to get an unbelievable result and they did. Canadian international midfielder Dwayne De Rosario, taking advantage of sloppy play by the Montreal defence, scored Toronto's first three goals after Montreal midfielder Tony Donatelli had put the Impact ahead in the 24th minute on a well-placed penalty kick. It was De Rosario's third goal four minutes into the second half that seemed to put the real jump in Toronto's legs. Amado Guevara scored twice for Toronto, the first on a free kick in the 69th minute and delivered the corner that substitute Chad Barrett headed in in the 83rd minute for the decisive goal. email@example.com © Copyright (c) The Vancouver Sun Previous Next

I know that when I apply for a job, I can use my service learning experience to showcase my ability to apply theory to ??real? world situations. More importantly, what I understand about my community has grown with my participation in service learning at CSU Stanislaus. It is extremely important to be connected to one??s community, and service learning gives students an opportunity to make that connection.
- Gabriela Nuo, CSU Stanislaus Early Assessment Program / Admissions Counselor and former service learning student
This experience has enhanced what I have learned and has given depth and meaning to the sociological theories I have studied. No longer can I drive down the street and ignore the human beings that I see pushing a shopping cart. Now I make eye contact and wonder if he will be safe tonight, where he can find food and if I may see him tomorrow.
- Peggy Stepro, CSU Stanislaus Master of Social Work student and former service learning student
Students?? service projects play a significant role in their educational and personal development while giving back to the community. As students apply concepts learned in the class to real world settings, another level of learning takes place. Opportunities for learning and insight, both professionally and personally, that cannot be stimulated, routinely occur when they put their knowledge to work in the community. Tangential to learning theories and facts, a university education should inspire critical thinking, promote the acquisition of technical skills, and connect students to communities. Devising the preferred course of action in less than perfect decision making conditions inspires critical thought and innovation.
- Professor David Colnic, Department of Politics and Public Administration
Service learning gives our students real-life experiences that help them choose a career path, that enrich their resumes when they apply for jobs, and that help them develop empathy with an understanding of some of the people they will be working with in criminal justice.
- Professor Phyllis Gerstenfeld, Chair of the Department of Criminal Justice
Students in my General Education Course, CDEV 3040: Child Development in Cultural Context, have been working closely with seniors at the Turlock Salvation Army Senior Center. The benefits of this service-learning project have been innumerable, well beyond what I envisioned when I first spoke with the staff at the Office of Service Learning. My students have displayed a fuller, more personalized, understanding of the course material. Their service-learning experiences have added depth to their writing and excitement from the class discussions. Just as important as the increased engagement from the students, their interaction with the seniors has been an opportunity to forge new friendships.
- Professor Jennifer Esterly, Departments of Psychology and Child Development, and Director of the Child Development Center
The Parent Resource Center has been involved in a valuable partnership with California State University, Stanislaus and the Office of Service Learning for over 5 years, through an in-home reading program ?? The Parent Child Home Program. This wonderful partnership benefits the community in three ways: 1) It provides the students, who will be employed in careers with children, ??hands on?, practical training and a true understanding of working with families from all walks of life. 2) It gives parents the guidance, training, encouragement and resources to enhance their relationships with their children. 3) It improves the quality of life for many young children by encouraging parents/child bonding and nurturing. These ??gifts? to our community are made possible through the dedication, support and commitment of the Office of Service Learning.
- Francine DiCiano, Chief Operating Officer of United Way of Stanislaus County and former Executive Director of The Parent Resource Center

BeschreibungThis volume contains the Proceedings of the Special Seminar on: FRAGTALS held from October 9-15, 1988 at the Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture, Erice (Trapani), Italy. The concepts of self-similarity and scale invariance have arisen independently in several areas. One is the study of critical properites of phase transitions; another is fractal geometry, which involves the concept of (non-integer) fractal dimension. These two areas have now come together, and their methods have extended to various fields of physics. The purpose of this Seminar was to provide an overview of the recent developments in the field. Most of the contributions are theoretical, but some experimental work is also included. Du:cing the past few years two tendencies have emerged in this field: one is to realize that many phenomena can be naturally modelled by fractal structures. So one can use this concept to define simple modele and study their physical properties. The second point of view is more microscopic and tries to answer the question: why nature gives rise to fractal structures. This implies the formulation of fractal growth modele based on physical concepts and their theoretical understanding in the same sense as the Renormalization Group method has allowed to understand the critical properties of phase transitions.

Proceedings of the Special Seminar on Fractals, held October 1988, in Erice, Italy. Most of the contributions are theoretical, but some experimental work is also included. They discuss multifractals and turbulence, fractal properties of critical fluctuations and polymers, general features of fractal growth models, the application of those models to physical phenomena, diffusion and vibrations on fractals, diffusion fronts and invasion percolation, random surfaces, and large scale distribution of matter in the universe.

I just want to thank all my pup pals who sent Power of the Paw for me last week. It worked and I am feeling much better. I am still on medicines for a UTI but I have stopped going out to pee every hour now and can hold on for all night!!
I have to go back to the Dr in 2 weeks for more tests but I am acting more like myself now.
Thanks again pals,
Well pups it wasn't bad enough that I was attacked by fire ants and I itch and sting like crazy but mom do I have to wear the cone of shame?
Why am I being punished for those dumb ants attacking me, just cause I want to lick and chew my paws, they hurt mom!
I am on meds for the itching and cream but I won't leave my paws alone so mom conspired with the Vet and got me this horrible COS...I need a new home. I am calling Dog Protective Services, this has got to be against the law or something...Dog abuse!
Please pups send help!
Mickey Man
Well pups I had my first try at Earth Dog and boy was that fun, fun fun!!
I got to bark, whine, paw and try to find this rat in a metal cage.
At first the lady had it out in the open so I could find it. Then she started dragging it around to get me worked up. Then she hid it in a wooden box and when I figured that out she put a lid on it and made it a small tunnel with the rat at the end.
Once I knew where that rat was and went after it, they made it harder and made the tunnel longer with a turn in it. Then mom and the lady encourage me to stay at the rat and bark, growl and bite at it's cage and they told me what a good boy I was.
I got to try a bigger tunnel next with one big turn...boy was that scary and dark...and in the ground!! Mom had to help me with that one but I eventually found that rat and stayed on it until mom opened up the tunnel petted me and told me what a good boy I was and took me out.
All in all it was a pretty fantastic day!
Of course when I got home I had to rub it in to Reece, just like he does to me when he comes home from agility!!
Mickey "Rat" Hunter
PS since I didn't actually get to taste those rats not sure if they taste like chicken!!

Airbus Still Expects an On-Time Arrival for the A350by
The Airbus A350, the European consortium's answer to the popular carbon-fiber aircraft made by Boeing, is progressing apace and remains on track to be delivered this year.
Airbus reported upbeat results Tuesday on the recent flight testing of its initial four A350s, with plans for a fifth to take to the air next month. The program has accumulated more than 1,600 flight hours since the first A350 flew in June, and the company plans to conduct about 2,500 hours of tests. Airbus said the A350 passed water-ingestion tests this week in France to ensure that operating in heavy rains would not affect its performance.
Airbus hopes to obtain certification from regulators for the airplane in the third quarter. Qatar Airways, the largest buyer of the model, is scheduled to receive the first A350 in December. Like its rival predecessor, Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, the A350 promises airlines an efficiency boost through the carbon-fiber composites used in construction, which make the aircraft lighter and allow it to burn less fuel.
Airbus is closely targeting the A350′s production costs, trying to reduce the assembly time for each airplane, Chief Financial Officer Harald Wilhelm told analysts on a conference call. "To get to the target growth means on the make side that you have to reduce the hours spent on each aircraft significantly," he said. "Again, that's what the learning curve is about. That's not a walk in the park that requires improvements, and these are the ones that we are chasing and pushing through on the early aircraft."
The company on Tuesday reported first-quarter profit rose to €700 million (), topping analyst forecasts, and said it was on track to break even next year on the troubled A380 program, which suffered delays and massive cost overruns before its 2007 introduction. The twin-deck plane is Airbus's most expensive model and the largest in commercial aviation fleets, seating more than 800 people in certain configurations.
Airbus is also considering a new engine refit for its wide body Airbus A330 model, which is facing sparse production after 2015 due to the popularity of newer models such as the 787 and A350. Several Airbus A330 customers have said they would like a new, more fuel-efficient version of that plane and Airbus intends to decide this year whether to proceed. "I think this is encouraging, but we need to do our homework," Wilhelm said.

BlackBerry Q5 review: Small screen, average camera spoil the party
Having seen videos on large-screen phones, watching videos and photos on this midget screen was a below-par experience.
New Delhi: In the face of criticism over the price of its Z10 and Q10 smartphones, BlackBerry recently introduced its mid-range smartphone, BlackBerry Q5, which also runs on the new BlackBerry 10 OS. We had published our first impressions on the device sometime back and now having used the phone for a longer period, here's the extended review. At Rs 24,990, does the phone have in it to attract potential buyers?
Like its brethren Q10, the Blackberry Q5 is also equipped with a touchscreen and a QWERTY keypad. When people are moving to touch-based large-screen smartphones, the arrival of the BlackBerry Q5 with a 3.1-inch screen (with a QWERTY keypad) seems to be aimed at only BlackBerry loyalists, the few who are still not ready to desert their trusted BlackBerry for something different.
Neatly designed, I liked the looks of this light-weight phone. The phone is comfortable to grip and has a decent build quality. Available in three colours - red, black, and white - the phone looks equally refined in each shade. But what I found throttling my experience was its small screen. The phone has an excellent 3.1-inch display (720x720 resolution), but its small screen hampered my viewing and browsing experience. For instance, one can't view more than two Facebook posts at a time on this small screen, and if a post has a photo in it, you can't see a complete post in one go. Similarly, not even three tweets can be seen without scrolling the timeline down. Having seen videos on large-screen phones, watching videos and photos on this midget screen was a below-par experience. And given its price, these experiences can't be pushed aside.
While its touch responsiveness and viewing angles are great, but how far do they matter if the screen-size is not what you would love to see content on? Had its screen-size been a little bigger, the experience with this phone would have been totally different.
The QWERTY keyboard on the Q5 is undoubtedly better than what you would found on BlackBerry's old lot, but the more expensive Q10 has a better keyboard. Compared to the keyboard on the Q10, keys on the Q5 are a tad hard to press, but of course better than those on its outdated smartphones.
The volume rocker keys on the right also work as camera shutter buttons. The phone has an internal memory of 8GB, and also includes a microSD memory card slot that supports a memory card up to 32GB.
Talking about its camera, the phone has a 5 megapixel rear camera, which captures photos of acceptable quality in outdoor and well-lit situations, but in low-light and soft-light conditions, photos captured are average, not impressive. Cameras on the phones available in the same price band offer better picture quality than what the Q5 snaps. In video mode, the camera captures good videos in daylight, but in indoor lighting conditions the videos recorded are not even of acceptable quality. Its front camera is apt for video-calling only when lighting conditions are favourable. Contrary to my expectations, the Q5's front camera surprised me with its quality in bright light. While the previous generation of BlackBerry phones have been excused for their poor camera, but in the current smartphone scene this is no longer acceptable. The camera on the Q5 also does not offer many options to customise images.
The BlackBerry Q5 runs the same BB 10 OS as you would find on the BlackBerry Q10, which is a great improvement over the previous OS. I have already talked about the pros and cons of the new OS in the Q10 review.
Coming to its performance, the phone is powered by a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor coupled with 2GB RAM. The phone didn't hang even once throughout the review cycle; I did not find it lingering anytime throughout the time I used it as my primary device. The phone is engineered with a quality speaker which is not only loud, but also produces clear audio. The Q5 supports 1080p video recording and playback. Packed with a 2180mAh non-removable battery, its battery easily lasted for more than a day.
Marred by a small screen, average camera and relatively high price, the phone fails to make it to our recommendations list. Citing the ease of typing and lack of QWERTY smartphones in the market, some would argue in favour of this phone, but my question to them is why do we need QWERTY phones anymore when full-touch devices offer enhanced typing and viewing experience? It is now time for BlackBerry to come up with a full-touch, mid-range device.
+ Excellent display
+ Clean UI
+ 1080 video support
+ Great performance and speaker
- Small screen
- Average camera
- Not so great design
- Marginally overpriced
Rating: 2.5/5

Testing & Results
Testing Methodology
When it comes to testing a gaming peripheral, such as a mechanical gaming keyboard, the results are pretty much based on the review's subjectivity. Another reviewer may have a different opinion of the same keyboard. In the case of the ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, the same reviewer could come up with varying results between a Ryos MK Pro with black Cherry MX keys to a Ryos MK Pro with blue Cherry MX keys. The point is, there are many different variables to consider in a peripheral review and there is nothing that can truly be quantified.
In order to test the ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro, I used it for approximately three weeks for not only gaming purposes, but it was also employed to perform a number of other functions, such as the creation of the review you are reading. I played a number of different games and game types, including Battlefield 4, Company of Heroes, Splinter Cell Blacklist, and Wargame. The other garden-variety tasks performed included the use of Microsoft Office products including Outlook and Word, Adobe Photoshop, Google Chrome, and Skype.
Test System
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
- System Memory: 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1333 G.Skill Ripjaws X Series
- Processor: AMD FX-6100 Zambezi 3.3 GHz Six-Core Processor
- Audio: ASUS XONAR DG PCI 5.1 Audio Card
- Video: HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ Boost Clock 3GB GDDR5 PCI-E Graphics Card
- Optical Drive: Pioneer Black Internal BD/DVD/CD Writer BDR-207DBKS
- PSU: Corsair HX Series HX750 750W GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
- Monitor: AOC e2752Vh (27″) & Samsung SyncMaster PX2370 (24″)
- Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate
Test Results
The best place to start in terms of sharing the results of the ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard's review is… where else? Gaming of course! First, the feel of the keyboard is fantastic while gaming. As I mentioned earlier, I am a big fan of the black Cherry MX keys, especially for gaming. Also, the weight of the keyboard combined with the anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom ensured that the keyboard would remain stable and in place during the most intensive gaming sessions. I would be remiss if I did not mention the Easy-Shift[+] functionality of this keyboard. Having the ability to assign a secondary function to a key makes life much easier whether you are playing a FPS or a MMO. Even thought it is a little odd initially to use the caps lock key as a primary key, once you get the hang of it, it is hard to do without. Considering that you can set up the lighting to completely black out when you hit the Easy-Shift[+] key, the adjustment to using it is made even easier.
Using the ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro for everyday tasks was also a pleasure. Going back to the black Cherry MX keys; they are very good for typical typing, but I prefer the tactile response of a blue for this purpose. This is just a personal preference. Again, the black keys perform well and feel very good. Also, the Easy-Shift[+] feature can come in handy in the task performing capacity as well. Opening this, cutting and pasting that… you can assign keys to do pretty much whatever you want, which makes life much easier and certainly has the potential to greatly increase your efficiency.
The overall verdict of the testing of the ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro was that it passed with flying colors. This is one solid, high-performing keyboard that has plenty of bells and whistles to make your gaming and professional lives much easier. And, from a customization standpoint, you could spend hours setting up both the macros and the lighting in order to have the ROCCAT Ryos MK Pro perfectly individualized for you.

Snowboard sizes
i currently ride a 159cm Burton Process Flying V. i am looking to buy a new freestyle board in the near future and i was thinking of going down to a 154-155cm since my current snowboard is up to my eyebrows. i am 5ft 5 inches and about 200 pounds. since freestyle boards have more flex than a all mountain board, i was wondering if that would be ok for me to go down a few inches? i would really like some input on this, thanks!

Letters to the Editor
Published 10:00 pm, Tuesday, October 4, 2005
Several years ago we had to have a 9.5-cent increase or the road system would collapse and Boeing wouldn't build any new airplanes here. Voters turned it down but we got a 5-cent increase anyway.
Now, new emergency and more money needed but no plan in place, just some starry-eyed ideas and a cost that's a wild guess. This 9.5-cent increase doesn't fully fund the two "emergency projects" and unless we pass another tax increase the state money gets spent however they decide.
How about a new approach? Give the voters a detailed plan and realistic costs for mega projects and then have a tax and tolls just for them that expire when it's paid off. DOT still hasn't adopted the methods private business did for the big Interstate 5 Dupont project to lower costs. To try to tax ourselves into prosperity is like standing in a bucket and trying to lift yourself up by the handle.
Arnie Hardin
Hell, I think we should all move to Iraq.
Richard Reuther
Had Connelly done a bit of research he would have discovered that Metro could not have prepared the tunnel for low floor light rail cars when the tunnel was built in 1986 because the low floor rail cars weren't even on the market yet. They weren't even invented. So how in the world was Metro's lack of anticipation of a non-existent product a "screw-up?"
Perhaps the only real screw-up is that the media is too lethargic to research its stories before they print them.
Richard Borkowski
Economically speaking, optimal environmental policy would consist of achieving the maximum benefit for the environment at the least cost.
The Endangered Species Act does not do this. Endangered species become isolated weak links we chase down one after another rather than stewarding ecosystem health as a whole. ESA requirements also require remedial action only once the cost of species recovery is astronomical. It is akin to (forgive the analogy) waiting until there are breeches in a levee before repairing and rebuilding, it. While the alternative -- entire-ecosystem stewardship -- sounds more expensive, it is the option that produces the most bang for our buck.
The ESA needs help and revision badly. Under the "modernized" version, however, we will see a historic hemorrhage of money into the pockets of private landowners, who will be paid (in perpetuity) not to develop "critical" habitat. In effect, this pitches one economic Goliath, private development rights, against the David of as-yet unquantifiable environmental health.
Sophie Morse
While it is highly disappointing the bill passed the House, I am impressed with the political courage of first-term Rep. Dave Reichert, when he broke ranks with Republicans to vote against a bill that would allow more pesticide runoff into salmon streams, require payoffs to developers and make voluntary many habitat protections for the threatened and endangered wildlife species in Washington.
As a local sport fisherman, I know that Reichert did the right thing for the district's families and businesses. Future generations will appreciate more salmon in Puget Sound and more bald eagles soaring overhead. My only hope is that this bill meets the same sort of principled opposition when it comes in front of Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell.
Bob Johnson

Washington Wildlife Federation
Did you know that in the Puget Sound area, most of the pollution that causes global warming comes from cars? Global warming increases the temperature of the oceans, which makes hurricanes more violent.
Driving less also has direct personal benefits. We save a lot of money (the cost of gas is just the tip of the iceberg), we get more exercise and we reduce stress because we're not sitting in traffic so much. We all have ways we can cut car trips -- walk, bus, bike, rail, car pool, van pool, work from home, shop online, flex your work schedule, etc. Let's investigate what mix of choices works for us, cut car trips and make a difference.
Kathleen Allen
They've controlled the federal purse strings for 11 years but have only fulfilled half of the equation; huge taxes cuts for the rich. While special interest spending has spiraled out of control, this president has never vetoed a spending bill. The Republican Congress and administration inherited a budget surplus and turned it into an enormous deficit, loading a huge burden on our kids and grandkids.
Who's to blame? Here's a clue: When Bush came to office, there were 9,000 lobbyists on Capitol Hill. Today there are more than 34,000, each begging for their chunk of change. Can you say "corruption"? Most of these are current and former Republican insiders (Tom DeLay alone has 20 "former" staffers knocking on doors).
Congressional Republicans have always been corporate America's handmaidens, their motto being "personal profit at the expense of the public good." Senators and representatives continue to sail through the revolving door between the political sewer and the military/ industrial sewer that President Eisenhower warned us about.
And the rest of us? The rest of are being left in the dust.

Finance ministry prioritising resolution of tax disputes: Telecom minister
Jun 17 2014 , New Delhi/Mumbai
Vodafone Group PLC became India's largest overseas corporate investor when it acquired Hutchison Whampoa's Indian mobile assets in 2007 as part of its strategy of chasing growth in emerging markets.
Indian authorities argued that the transaction was liable to be taxed in India. Vodafone rejected the claim, saying that even if tax was due, it should be paid for by the seller rather than the buyer. The $2.2 billion standoff has played out in courts across the country ever since.

or you can...Help us raise funds
Thank you for your support.
Unfortunately you are not eligible to become a donor.
You can still help in other ways!
The two ways to donate
You must be willing to donate using either method. The patient's doctor chooses the method that is best for the patient.
Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) Donation
This is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure that collects blood stem cells via the bloodstream. During the procedure, your blood is drawn through one arm and passed through a machine that filters out the blood stem cells. The remaining blood is returned to you through your other arm.
To increase your blood stem cells prior to donation, you will receive daily injections of a synthetic protein called filgrastim on the four days leading up to and on the morning of the procedure. The actual donation can take from 4-8 hours over the course of 1-2 days.
Possible Side Effects & Recovery
While taking filgrastim, you may experience flu-like symptoms such as headaches, bone and muscle aches and fatigue. Most side effects should subside within 48 hours of donating. Your stem cells replenish within one week.
Bone Marrow Donation
This is a 1-2 hour surgical procedure performed under anesthesia, so no pain is experienced during the donation. Marrow cells are collected from the back of your hip bone using a syringe.
Possible Side Effects & Recovery
You may experience some pain, bruising and stiffness for up to two weeks after donation. Within a week of donating, you should be able to return to work, school and many regular activities. Your marrow will completely replenish itself within 3-6 weeks.
About the collection methods
The odds are, you may never be called upon, but if you are, that's when you will have the opportunity to give someone else a second chance of life by donating some of your blood stem cells in one of two ways. It's really important to read about the methods used to collect blood stem cells, as you need to be comfortable with doing both.
Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Collection
This is when blood stem cells are collected from the donor's blood stream by removing blood from one arm, running it through a machine that separates out the stem cells, then returning the blood to the donor through their other arm. Around 90% of donations are carried out using this method. This is a non surgical outpatient procedure and takes around 4-6 hours.
Bone Marrow Collection
This is when the blood stem cells are collected from the bone marrow at the back of the hip bone. The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic so that no pain is experienced. The collection itself takes 1-2 hours and most donors return to their regular activities within a week. This method is only used in around 10% of cases.
You will have a general anaesthetic and may be under anaesthesia for one to two hours depending on the time needed for the collection of the stem cells. The doctor will insert a special needle through two tiny incisions in the skin over the back of the hip bone (not your spine). The incisions are less than one-fourth of an inch long and usually do not usually require stitches. The collection itself takes round about 60 minutes, and you will be positioned lying on your front. Doctors use sterile needles to remove liquid marrow containing blood stem cells, roughly one litre, which is round about 5% of your bone marrow. Two weeks after donation, your bone marrow will have recovered fully, and the hip bone will have fully healed within six weeks.We will provide ongoing support and advice as we care about the details of your recovery after the collection process. We will contact you on a regular basis after your donation to ask about your physical condition and it is also important to contact us directly if you have any concerns or wish to discuss any symptoms you experience. You should expect a phone call on the day following your donation and then weekly until you report a full recovery. As part of your long-term aftercare, we will be in contact with you on occasion for the next ten years.
Good to know...
Can I do more?
You can support us further too, there are lots of ways you can get involved.
That extra person your money enables us to register could be the vital tissue match that saves another person's life.
Every share, post or tweet could reach someone that could be a matching donor for someone suffering with a blood cancer.
There are lots of ways you can help fund our work, on your own, in a group, or at work. Get inspired here!

Post alignment and a few days of driving...
Originally Posted by
hey karmakc, I am in a similar situation with the springs. I was planning on H&R springs but I am always considering other stuff. After you have had the setup for more than a couple of days is the setup just stiff or maybe too harsh. But the drop does look good on your car.
I've put approx 144 miles on the current set up. I also had an alignment done and I'm glad I did. The rear was out of whack and while they fixed the rear, the front also got sorted.
To answer your question, I had to ask myself what I was looking for in the suspension set up. I originally started looking at getting a better handling package that wouldn't sway as much as it does stock. My stock suspension only had 50k miles and is definitely still good, however, I live in a part of California that has twisty, windy roads all over the place and I've always wanted go-kart like handling on a car...I got very interested in the SVT kit due to its low cost and its mannerisms are amazing, known by all enthusiasts etc...
Then I realized, I may not be happy with just that kit and I heard more and more about the FRPP progressive springs/SVT dampers (aka FRPP kit)...and I ended up getting it plus a cheap (new) SVT rear sway bar from a member for a grand total of $400 including shipping and taxes.
With the alignment and suspension all settled, I have to be quite honest in saying, if you live anywhere there are cracked roads or expansion joints on the freeway, this set up may not be for you. It is a stiff, and exciting set up that has me grinning when the roads are smooth and sometimes grimacing when the roads are truly awful...however, I understand that it may take 1000+ miles of driving for the suspension to settle before I can give you a better judgement on the set up.
I'm very happy with the cornering ability, where with a stock suspension, if I was pushing the car on an on ramp, the car would fall into chronic understeer. Now the car tracks like its on rails with very little play at the back. I'm really impressed by the geometry and the car feels like a whole new animal. The lowered stance is taking a little getting used to but I don't see that being a problem.
I'm not sure how the roads in Iowa would be for a lowered car, that is something you'd have to evaluate for yourself...hit me up in a couple of weeks and I'll be able to give you a much more, indepth review.

Chino Maurice only started singing four years ago, but his incredible onstage energy suggests a longer performance history. The Cali-born vocalist recently played an explosive show at Public Assembly in Brooklyn, NY. Bringing his soulful bellowing, confident energy and electrifying performances with band and DJ to the table, Maurice has opened for Stevie Wonder and Beyoncé and is set to open for N.E.R.D.'s summer tour.
Maurice can rock, roll the soul and roar like James Brown, but his musical tastes include everything from the Doobie Brothers and the Eagles to George Clinton and Andre 3000. Starting as a producer, but also writing and recording, Maurice has made his way on the music scene with finesse, confidence and an innate ability to captivate an audience, something experience on the catwalk—the man has modeled—surely only bolsters.
First and foremost though, Maurice knows a lot about music as he recently made evident to CMJ.
When did you know that you wanted to play music?
I got tired of going to football practice, and I used to stay up late and listen to old '60s and '70s and '50s records. I had a keyboard thing, and I would try to mimic the sound I'd hear. I would hear something and press the key and think, "Gosh, I can't be playing that right…"
Do you practice a lot?
I'm kinda the spokesperson for geeks. I don't go out. 360 days, I am practicing. I don't party, so I get good at scales.
You play eight instruments. Do you have a favorite?
Probably the trumpet because I don't know how to play it. My dream is to learn how to play wind instruments. I don't really have a favorite. I pick up the guitar, and then I'll say, "OK, wrote enough on that," jump to the piano, then I have an amazing violin teacher now. I started picking up the violin. I can't write on the violin yet. I just pick it up and do melodies. I don't get bored.
What was the first song you ever wrote?
I have memories of this TV commercial, "Army! Navy! Air Force! Marines! It's a great place to start!"—something like that. I used to record myself singing that as a kid, I don't even know why. I used to go in the closet [and sing], "Army! Navy! Air Force! Marines!" Maybe that's the first thing ever. My aunt used to play it and just laugh.
What's your most comfortable setting for recording or playing?
I'm comfortable anywhere. I don't do things I'm not comfortable with. I do what I want to do. If I feel comfortable at a place, it's because of how I'm feeling, not because of the place. I could record anywhere—it could be a basement, a big studio. Four years ago, I didn't really know I was going to sing four years ago, but I knew I was going to be a producer. I taught myself how to do ProTools. And I can really only do that at home, because you have to pay for studio time. And I love the East Village. The good thing about the East Village is that people don't judge you here. You could have a spear going through your neck, and somebody would be like, "You OK?" You just keep doing your thing.
What influences your writing?
The thing that affects me is my running. I need to run everywhere I go. I might not have a pair of jeans, a shirt, as long as I have my running, I'm good to go. As long as I have my guitar and running shoes, I'm good to go. So, everywhere I go I try to find a beautiful place to run. I don't like the cold weather, but I don't care. Even if it's 10 below, I'll be out there running. My run affects my music more than anything. Because you can wake up in a different kind of way every day, but after my run I feel the same, which is very upbeat. It's about the rush.
Speaking of a rush, the energy of your live shows certainly gives crowds a jolt-filled rush.
There could be five people in the audience. I feel the music, I appreciate people, but I love my music. One person says, 'How does he jump like that for 30–40 minutes?' I'm just like, how do I not? I love it. When I see people clapping and jumping, I feed off of that. Music is so comfortable to me. I just love doing it.
