Finally after a refreshing break we are ready to start planning our second Step Down Christmas. We've started by avidly searching for eco-friendly Christmas presents that can compete with the normal high street faire. While this is easy for babies and toddlers, it's become more difficult as our nieces and nephews get older. I was thrilled when I discovered Hape who produce environmentally friendly toys for children up to about six years old.
reduce their environmental impact. They've looked at how the products are made, how they are packaged, the waste they create and how their products are transported. While they are still a major world manufacturer, the holistic analysis suggests a real commitment to the environment.
The original range of toys, which includes the Mighty Mixer pictured above, focuses on wooden toys finished with water-based paints. What really caught my attention was the fact Hape are producing role-play toys in wood. When trying to find a present for my five year old niece, we felt confident that this would be comparable to the other plastic toys on offer.
However Hape are still taking things a step farther with their new range of eco-friendly bamboo toys. I'm really impressed by the clever designs, which embrace bamboo's natural properties. Often when we see bamboo it's been sliced and glued into planks, which leaves me wondering how much energy and chemicals goes into the process. Hape however are using the natural bamboo tube to form several of their toys.
Hape e-offroader is a single tube, while the front and back fenders are formed by tube segments. There are some plastic parts, but these have been designed to last - so the toys may be passed down to future generations. Toys that look fresh modern and fun, I'm sure my three year-old nephew will love this chunky toy car.
Stormy Seas we've actually bought for my nephew's birthday. (I wish I could show you a better picture, but I don't think my nephew will appreciate me opening his present early!) Made from bamboo, this is a balance game where you have to add cargo to the ship without it tipping and spilling. Though we've bought it for him, we're hoping it's something that will also interest his older sister.
Really that's the thing that make Hape Toys special, their ability to appeal despite their ethical limitations. So often we see eco-friendly products that look rough, tired and boring - there's no way we'll convince people to reduce their carbon-footprint if the products we are offering don't inspire them. I think Hape should be commended for giving eco-friendly toys a mass-market appeal.

Social Media Clean-Up in 5 Easy Steps
After the Social Media Background Check article, I received a significant amount of feedback from readers and parents asking if there's a way for them, or their teen, to "clean up" their social media profile. As I pointed out in the original article, a person's social media profile officially consists of "up to seven years" worth of publicly available records—that means: personal blogs, social network profiles (if not set to private), online dating profiles, Craigslist ads, YouTube accounts and all photos/videos that are linked to said posts and profiles in one way or another.
Though there's no "one way" to go about cleaning it up, there are a few very easy things you can do if you think you or your teens' online portrait may not be very…beneficial to future college applications or professional endeavors.
1. Talk to your child –
Whether they are 7, 17 or 20 years of age, let them know that social media background checks are a reality.
- Of course the 7 year old won't necessarily understand, but it's a good time to start instilling in your children just how important it is that they behave and conduct themselves appropriately online. While you may be a recipient of an eye-rolling gesture from your teen, lay out the truth. They should (hopefully) understand where you're coming from and be willing to sit down follow these very easy steps.
2. Google your/your child's name; see what comes up –
Though there are more sophisticated ways of doing it, Google is usually the first place people look when they want to get the details on someone's online identity. Think of it as an all-in-one people search tool.
- Take it a step further and perform a Google image search. If you see pictures of yourself and you're not sure where they're from, scroll over the image and see the source URL.
3. Clean up your/your child's social network profile whether it's on Facebook, Tagged, MyYearbook, TeenSpot, etc. –
For obvious reasons, like sheer number of users, Facebook is the number one place where people tend to get too comfortable with posting/saying things they wouldn't necessarily say in real life.
If you've recently read my five part series then you know how many social networks proactively encourage and support our kids' participation in what one would consider outrageous behavior, and you have further reason to understand that "it's not all about Facebook". Instead, it's the culture that awaits our children online, and another important reason why you should know what social networks your child belongs to. Clean-up starts with:
- Going through all your/your child's photos and deleting anything that seems racy or inappropriate in any way.
- Un-tag your child/yourself from photos you don't really want to be associated with. This presents a great "talking/reflecting opportunity" for you and your child.
- Go through your/your child's old status updates and delete things like profanity or anything that you'd look at and shake your head if it were someone else other you're your child saying it.
- Make your profile private so it's viewable only by friends and family….and keep it that way. (Remember at Yoursphere.com your child's online privacy is a key priority. All profiles are set to private for their proactive protection.) When your child is older, ask them if they think it's a good or bad thing for them to accept every friend request – whether it's the new person on their dorm/apartment floor or their boss. It's an opportunity to remind your kids that, in the physical world, we take the time to get to know the person before we decide to share our personal details – let alone each waking thought or private photo albums.
4. Go back to your/your child's "old" social media accounts –
Often times, our kids (or ourselves) join a site, create a profile, upload some content, exchange words with other members of the site, etc, for a few weeks, and then forget about it (including everything posted).
- Delete any old dating website profiles and any photos that may have uploaded.
- Remove any "irresponsible" YouTube videos that may have been uploaded in the past.
- Dig through the profiles on photo sharing sites like Flickr or Picnik and delete any photos that could pass as inappropriate.
- If you frequently upload photos or videos to Twitter, check your account on yFrog, TwitPic or any of the other dozen hosting sites. Delete any eye sores here.
- If you're "not sure" what sites your children may have joined or your child doesn't remember, launch each browser on the computer your child uses/used and select "history" then "show all history." Go back as far as you can to search the sites that were visited. Clicking through, look for any site that had a membership sign up page.
5. Read through any old, personal blog posts –
It's safe to say that many people use blogs as a way to document their lives, like a journal, or to let off some steam. As a result, we/our kids have likely not been thinking about the impact what they write may have on our/their future. (This is especially the case for teens who like to blog about their personal lives.)
As a wrap up, parents, I hope this article is a guide that is useful to you on a personal level, and it should prove to be even more useful to your college-bound/soon-to-be college grads. The future of background checks is changing, and our teens are at the forefront of this transition. It's our job to help prepare them and empower them while guiding them in the right direction.

Date of Stay: October, 2012
Large campground with lots of seasonal campers. We were at the end of the season. Very few campers. Our site was level and nice in an open field. The bathhouse was new, because it was destruct in Hurricane Irene along with many campsites near the water. The campground owners were very friendly and helpful. We were able to pick up DishTV. We were passing through on our way home. Wish we had more time to explore the Catskill area. We would stop here again, if in the area. Sites were well spaced.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
We stop along I-81 on way home. Friendly staff. Didn't uses the restroom, but checked them out (Clean and nice). Well stocked store. Hooking up and unhooking the camper challenging due to the hilly and narrow campsite. Wish we had change sites. Not sure why they assigned our camper to site as it was not suitable for our rig. We could hardly walk around the RV due the steep slope. Door was next to tree. Other sites were available and easier to park. Pool looked good, though we didn't use it. We would stay again for a stopover. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel Trailer.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
We park on top of hill. I wouldn't suggest big rigs for upper loop. Strange setup of campsites. We arrived in dark with two RV (one 19'TT and one 31' FW). Neither sites were easy to setup in. Electric and water hookups were in wrong places, needed extra cords and hoses required to reach. No dump station or sewer hookups. You would need to used Acadia NP campground with an additional fee for park pass. Bathrooms clean, but extra charge for hot water in shower. Extra charge for big rigs, not worth it without any extra amenities, such as, hot water, dump station or sewer hookup. Staff friendly. Good location. I would not camp here again or recommend. Good views from our campsites. The campground was pretty empty due to end of season.

This concept of general supervision, including focused monitoring, is the primary method for federal and state monitoring of the implementation of IDEA. There are two primary mechanisms states use to report data to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) about the implementation of Part C of IDEA. The first is the "Annual Child Count" or "618" data which includes submission of tables on: the number of all eligible children with IFSPs on October 1st of each year; the types of services and settings in which children receive services; exiting data on children who have transitioned out of Early Intervention; and the number of full-time equivalents for a variety of personnel delivering services.
The second mechanism for reporting required data each year is the State Performance Plan (SPP) and Annual Performance Report (APR). This report addresses five targeted areas including Early Intervention Services in natural environments, child find and public awareness, family centered services, effective transition, and a general supervision system including monitoring, complaints, and hearings.
Similarly programs within Massachusetts are required to submit an annual report/self assessment based on federal indicators that have been selected as target areas of the State Performance Plan. The DPH utilizes information from the Early Intervention Information System (EIIS), Annual Report/Self Assessment, and the Complaint Management System as criteria in making Local Program Determinations. Each local program will receive a determination of "meets requirements", "needs assistance", "needs intervention" or "needs substantial intervention" based on compliance with Part C of IDEA.
The Focused Monitoring process continues to evolve in the Massachusetts EI System. The DPH will use the process and components of Focused Monitoring to gather information about program practices that will help guide the DPH in making policy decisions. Priority Areas of focus may change from year to year.
This information is provided by the Early Intervention Program within the Department of Public Health.

Pickles wants big lunch to help communities
Eric Pickles is hoping the promise of a 'Big Lunch' will help fractured communities create stronger bonds.
The Secretary of State for Communities has outlined plans for a day where communities come together, unfurl blankets and plate up onion bhajis and sausage rolls as neighbours get to know one another over a bite to eat.
Mr Pickles also said that he wanted Diamond Jubilee celebrations to further interaction within communities and also announced plans for an England-wide community music day on 9 September.
The plans were revealed in a government paper - Creating the conditions for Integration - released yesterday which also promises to 'outflank extremism' and increase training and employment opportunities.
Mr Pickles said: 'We are rightly proud of our strong history of successful integration and the benefits that it's brought.
'Britain is a place where the vast majority of people from all walks of life get on well with each other. Events such as the Royal Wedding and the Big Lunch show that community spirit is thriving.
'I welcome the contribution of everyone but those who advocate separate lives are wrong. It is time to concentrate on the things that unite the British people.'
According to the paper, more than 2.4 million people took part in a 'Big Lunch' in 2011 which was 'run and funded almost entirely by the voluntary sector and business, with only minimal government support to increase participation in selected areas'.
The plans outlined in the report are part of the government's drive to create 'localist' solutions to various problems in communities across the country.

The Suicide Club and Other Stories HTML version
Providence And The Guitar
Monsieur Leon Berthelini had a great care of his appearance, and sedulously suited his
deportment to the costume of the hour. He affected something Spanish in his air, and
something of the bandit, with a flavour of Rembrandt at home. In person he was
decidedly small and inclined to be stout; his face was the picture of good humour; his
dark eyes, which were very expressive, told of a kind heart, a brisk, merry nature, and the
most indefatigable spirits. If he had worn the clothes of the period you would have set
him down for a hitherto undiscovered hybrid between the barber, the innkeeper, and the
affable dispensing chemist. But in the outrageous bravery of velvet jacket and flapped
hat, with trousers that were more accurately described as fleshings, a white handkerchief
cavalierly knotted at his neck, a shock of Olympian curls upon his brow, and his feet shod
through all weathers in the slenderest of Moliere shoes - you had but to look at him and
you knew you were in the presence of a Great Creature. When he wore an overcoat he
scorned to pass the sleeves; a single button held it round his shoulders; it was tossed
backwards after the manner of a cloak, and carried with the gait and presence of an
Almaviva. I am of opinion that M. Berthelini was nearing forty. But he had a boy's heart,
gloried in his finery, and walked through life like a child in a perpetual dramatic
performance. If he were not Almaviva after all, it was not for lack of making believe.
And he enjoyed the artist's compensation. If he were not really Almaviva, he was
sometimes just as happy as though he were.
I have seen him, at moments when he has fancied himself alone with his Maker, adopt so
gay and chivalrous a bearing, and represent his own part with so much warmth and
conscience, that the illusion became catching, and I believed implicitly in the Great
Creature's pose.
But, alas! life cannot be entirely conducted on these principles; man cannot live by
Almavivery alone; and the Great Creature, having failed upon several theatres, was
obliged to step down every evening from his heights, and sing from half-a-dozen to a
dozen comic songs, twang a guitar, keep a country audience in good humour, and preside
finally over the mysteries of a tombola.
Madame Berthelini, who was art and part with him in these undignified labours, had
perhaps a higher position in the scale of beings, and enjoyed a natural dignity of her own.
But her heart was not any more rightly placed, for that would have been impossible; and
she had acquired a little air of melancholy, attractive enough in its way, but not good to
see like the wholesome, sky-scraping, boyish spirits of her lord.
He, indeed, swam like a kite on a fair wind, high above earthly troubles. Detonations of
temper were not unfrequent in the zones he travelled; but sulky fogs and tearful
depressions were there alike unknown. A well-delivered blow upon a table, or a noble
attitude, imitated from Melingne or Frederic, relieved his irritation like a vengeance.

My Side of the Cave - A Look at Our World With a Little Common Sense Thrown In HTML version
A game of life.
I contend that each of us at birth is given a number of marbles to play out the game of
life. There are some people who seem to get more marbles than others, but as has been
proven so many times before, life is not always fair!
But for this discussion, and for simplicity sake, let's just pretend that we all get 100
marbles to play this game of life. These marbles will be the tools used to carry out all of
life's activities.
The loss of a few marbles may start early in our youth. One example may involve having
fun and doing our little kid thing, when suddenly you spill your milk all over the new
carpet. We now have mom's full attention and the yelling begins. A loud and angry mom
or dad will certainly take away a few marbles.
A young friend may be hurtful to you in some way. This disappointment may cause you
to subtract from your marble count. Other natural losses in our lives will certainly take
away some marbles. One incident that may happen in your teen years will be when your
first real love goes south. This can be a heart breaking event. Then, of course, there are
the big self- induced screw-ups in our lives. The bigger the screw-up, the greater the loss.
Going into mid-life, we usually have plenty of our marbles left, but then what jumps in
front of us is the questions of one's mind, as in, "Honey, have you seen the car keys?"
Your first inward reaction may be I think I'm losing it! It is my contention that we
naturally lose some marbles each decade of our life after forty. Generally, the older we
get, the greater the loss.
We realize somewhere along the line that the old phrase, "They're losing their marbles,"
may be applicable to me. We will discover that the game is over when we have too few
marbles to play with.
But, hey! It was fun playing the game!!!!

Site: Dexter, Mich. (Hudson Mills Metropark)
Meet: EMU Fall Classic (5,000 meters)
U-M Finish: Non-scoring
Top U-M Individual: Kaitlyn Peale, 1st (17:24)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, Nov. 1 -- at Big Ten Championships (State College, Pa.), 11:30 a.m.
DEXTER, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's cross country team boasted six of the top-10 individual finishers, including four among the top five, to wrap up the regular season in decisive fashion at the EMU Fall Classic on Friday afternoon (Oct. 23) at Hudson Mills Metropark.
Junior/sophomore Kaitlyn Peale (Columbus, Ohio/Upper Arlington HS) paced the Wolverine squad for the second consecutive appearance, capturing her first collegiate cross country victory with a time of 17:24 -- the second-quickest showing of her career. The effort was Peale's fourth top-10 finish in as many appearances this season.
Three rookies joined Peale among the Wolverines' top-five finishers as freshmen Kaitlyn Patterson (Cadillac, Mich./Cadillac HS), Rebecca Addison (Spring Lake, Mich./Grand Haven HS) and Lindsey Hilton (Rochester Hills, Mich./Adams HS) placed second, fourth and seventh, respectively. Hilton clocked a personal-best time of 18:28 as U-M's fifth runner across the line.
Senior/junior Rachel Severin (Chelsea, Mich./Chelsea HS) registered her best performance of the season, claiming fifth place in 18:12 -- shaving 13 seconds from her season standard.
The Maize and Blue will kick off the postseason at the Big Ten Championships next Sunday (Nov. 1) in State College, Pa. The women's 5,000-meter race is slated for an 11:30 a.m. start at the Blue-White Golf Course.

The Zeppelin's Passenger HTML version
Chapter 13
Philippa leaned back in her place.
"Exactly what do you mean by that, Mr. Lessingham?" she demanded.
He shook himself free from a curious sense of unreality, and turned towards her.
"I must confess," he said, "that sometimes your husband puzzles me."
"Not nearly so much as he puzzles me," Philippa retorted, a little bitterly.
"Has he always been so desperately interested in deep-sea fishing?"
Philippa shrugged her shoulders.
"More or less, but never quite to this extent. The thing has become an obsession with him
lately. If you are really going to stay and talk with me, do you mind if we don't discuss
my husband? Just now the subject is rather a painful one with me."
"I can quite understand that," Lessingham murmured sympathetically.
"What do you think of Captain Griffiths?" she asked, a little abruptly.
"I have thought nothing more about him. Should I? Is he of any real importance?"
"He is military commandant here."
Lessingham nodded thoughtfully.
"I suppose that means that he is the man who ought to be on my track," he observed.
"I shouldn't be in the least surprised to hear that he was," Philippa said drily. "I have told
you that he came and asked about you the other night, when he dined here. He seemed
perfectly satisfied then, but he is here again to-night to see Henry, and he never visits
anywhere in an ordinary way."
"Are you uneasy about me?" Lessingham enquired.
"I am not sure," she answered frankly. "Sometimes I am almost terrified and would give
anything to hear that you were on your way home. And at other times I realise that you
are really very clever, that nothing is likely to happen to you, and that the place will seem
duller than ever when you do go."
"That is very kind of you," he said. "In any case, I fear that my holiday will soon be
coming to an end."
"Your holiday?" she repeated. "Is that what you call it?"

Radiation hysteria gone wild
The toll of dead and missing from Japan's Fukushima earthquake and tsunami approaches 30,000, and entire towns are rubble. At this point, no one has died from Fukushima's nuclear radiation, and it is quite possible that no one ever will. But radiation hysteria dominates the world's front pages and television screens. The anti-nuclear community exults as many countries now consider shutting down or delaying construction of nuclear power plants.
While a through review of nuclear plant safety is important, be careful what you wish for. Replacing the annual electric power output of a typical one gigawatt (GW) nuclear plant will require burning five million tons of coal or its equivalent in natural gas. As much as ten million tons of carbon dioxide will then be released to warm us. In the case of coal, the most available substitute, large quantities of mercury, sulfur, and other elements will also join the atmosphere.
The primary public concern over Fukushima is the continuing release of radioactivity. Our bodies receive an average of 300 millirems of natural radiation per year from radon, cosmic rays, certain foods like bananas(potassium 40) and medical exams. The body repairs cell damage from this and larger amounts, or humanity would not exist. The most radiation exposed persons at Fukushima are some workers inside the plants who got doses in the 15 to 25 rem range.
Immediately after World War II, a joint U.S. and Japanese medical team began a 70-year study of 90,000 survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those survivors got radiation doses similar to those received by the most affected workers at Fukushima.Seventy years of studies report that the bomb survivors are living longer on average than the Japanese population as a whole with lower cancer rates. California residents are buying up iodine pills, because Fukushima radiation is being detected on our Pacific Coast. That new radiation is one millionth of the amount that the average American receives annually from those natural sources.
The energy producing fission process shut down in all Fukushima reactors. But the radioactive fission products in the active fuel, and spent fuel in the water pools continue to provide heat from beta decay. This produces about 6 percent of the heat created by the fully operating reactor. Without cooling, the temperatures in the reactor from decay heat will rise indefinitely.Normally, backup cooling is done by circulating water with diesel engines, now damaged by the tsunami.
At Chernobyl, a large steam/hydrogen explosion blew out radioactive graphite and other material from a fissioning reactor. 134 plant and emergency workers received very high radiation doses. 28 of them died within a few months. 19 more died within the next 20 years, though from causes not associated with radiation exposure. They have been parents to 14 children, all normal.
Radiation from Chernobyl spread over several countries. The Feb. 28, 2011 UN Chernobyl update states:
"In the three most affected countries, the only evidence of health effects due to radiation is an increase in thyroid cancer among people exposed as children in 1986. There were more than 6,000 cases reported from 1991 to 2005 in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. By 2005, 15 of the cases had proven fatal.
Radiation is diluted by distance and time. Media panic after Three Mile Island helped end the growth of nuclear energy in the U.S., leaving us with lots of polluting coal plants. Let's not lose the benefits from our largest supply of clean electric energy which causes fewer injuries than any other major energy source.

Late pop diva Whitney Houston's final recording has been released.
The bubbly track, Celebrate - a duet with former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks - debuted on Ryan Seacrest's radio show yesterday.
The song, produced by R Kelly, will feature on the soundtrack to upcoming film, Sparkle, a remake of the 1976 movie about a Motown female group.
Houston plays the mother to the three sisters in the group, one of which is played by Sparks.
Sparks performed a musical tribute to her late co-star at last night's Billboard Awards in Las Vegas, singing Houston's hit I Will Always Love You.
Houston was also awarded a posthumous Billboard Millennium Award at the ceremony, which was accepted by the singer's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown.
She took to the stage with Patricia Houston - her mother's sister-in-law and manager - and paid tribute to Houston: "I really want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through it all.
"Not just from when it was good but when it was bad, too. Thank you for showing that much love, because she deserved it ... I'm just blessed to have been in such an incredible woman's life. There will never be another one, ever."
The late legend passed away at the age of 48 on the eve of the Grammys in February. A coroner determined cocaine use and heart disease contributed to her death.
On February 7, four days before the singer died, producer Harvey Mason Jr described Houston as feeling "really positive" while recording her vocals for Celebrate.
"She got in the booth, started her vocal session with a prayer as she always did, and worked for about three to four hours," he told People.com.
"We ended the session dancing around the control room while she said 'Turn it up! Turn it up!' She was so fun-loving."
Listen to the track, and check out the trailer for Sparkle, below:
Sparkle opens in New Zealand cinemas on October 25.

|Mon, 04 Apr 2005 12:22:26 -0400
Dear Statalisters, I will really appreciate if you could help me with the following: 1) Is there a STATA command to do Heckman model with Panel data? Is heckman,cluster proper to use in this case? If Heckman can be done with Panel data, is there a way to do iv? 2) Am I right to say that doing fixed effect in Tobit with Panel data is quite complicated (the only oprtion is programme written by Bo Honore) and there is no command to do tobit with iv and fixed effect?

It was "straight" I suppose but very huge and frizzy. Not what I wanted although I do like the big hair look. As the day progressed, my hair got frizzier and frizzier. I do not like this.

Sol-Gel Synthesis of TiO2/SiO2 and ZnO/SiO2 Composite Films and Evaluation of Their Photocatalytic Activity towards Methyl Green

The TiO2/SiO2 and ZnO/SiO2 composite films were prepared by sol-gel dip coating method. The surface morphology and crystal structure of thin films were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with elementary dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Optical properties of films have been investigated using ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy (UV-visible spectroscopy). The photocatalytic activity was established by testing the degradation and decolorization of methyl green (MG) from aqueous solution with artificial UV-light.

You are here: Home > Parking, roads & transport > Transport > Bikes and sustainable transport > New bike parking in Best Street, North Fitzroy
Council has replaced two car parking spaces in front of Piedimonte's Supermarket in Best Street, North Fitzroy with eight bicycle parking hoops.
The hoops have were installed in June 2012, initially on a trial basis.
Council installed the hoops to increase the number of shoppers who can use this space for parking and to provide a designated area for bikes so they don't obstruct the footpath. Four additional hoops were installed on the asphalt area in the triangular open space (between Best Street and St Georges Road) for cargo bikes and bikes that carry trailers.
The bicycle hoops that were once on the footpath were replaced by poles that can be used by dog owners to tie up their dogs while they shop.
In May 2012, Council sought community feedback about its original proposal to install seven bicycle hoops outside of Piedimonte's. The project was supported by 85% of people who attended an onsite information stall and by 73% of people who provided feedback via email.
In response to community feedback, Council modified the proposal to increase the bicycle parking outside of Piedimonte's to eight hoops and to provide a separate parking area for large bikes.
The cost of the project is about $10,000.
Council has installed similar on-street bike parking facilities in the following locations:
Creating better parking facilities in Yarra is a key feature of Council's Bicycle Strategy, which aims to improve bike infrastructure to encourage more people to travel by bike.

Over nine thousand Muslims have been killed in Syria, hundreds of thousands have died in wars still being fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. Dozens have died in the Arab Spring which swept through the Middle East leaving dictator Muammar Gaddafi dead and his sons in jail. so, what do some Muslims regard as the number one concern in their lives–cartoons! They are upset because a cartoonist represented the Prophet Muhammad in a cartoon sketch.
I doubt if people in the days of Muhammad made cartoons. I assume people drew pictures since virtually all societies have evidence that our ancestors enjoyed making sketches of life around them. Four terrorists are on trial in Denmark for attempting to kill cartoonists who worked for a Danish newspaper. They continue feeling proud of attempted murder. I would feel proud of them if they went to Syria and actually fought for the rights of Muslims!

Three dice are placed in a row. Find a way to turn each one so that the three numbers on top of the dice total the same as the three numbers on the front of the dice. Can you find all the ways to do this?
A game for 2 players that can be played online. Players take it in turns to select a word from the 9 words given. The aim is to select all the occurrences of the same letter.
This article invites you to get familiar with a strategic game called "sprouts". The game is simple enough for younger children to understand, and has also provided experienced mathematicians with significant food for thought.
Choose any two odd numbers and one even number, such as $3, 5$ and $2$.
How would you like to represent these numbers?
Try adding them together and draw/make the representation of their sum.
What do you notice about the answer?
Look closely at your model.
Would it work in exactly the same way if you used different numbers but still two odds and one even?
Can you use your example to prove what will happen every time you add two odd numbers and one even number?
See if you can explain this to someone else. Are they convinced by your argument?
Once you can convince someone else, see if you can find a way to show the argument on paper. You might draw something or take a photo of things you have used to prove that your result is always true from your example.
Tell us about it by submitting your solution.

TigerAuthority, Joshryn
A gun show is a virtual gun dealer where you go to buy guns without background checks.
You're being cutesy with the word "dealers".
Private sellers are de facto dealers.
Anyone "engaged in the business" of selling guns must get a license and conduct background checks on their customers. Our investigation found many sellers at gun shows who say they are just "private collectors" but are doing brisk and lucrative business selling guns without background checks.
1. ALL dealers at gun shows are required by law to have an FFL license.
2. ALL FFL dealers at gun shows and elsewhere are required by law to run a background check before the sale.
3. Guns are sold every day over the internet anonymously by private parties via Craigslist, newspaper classifieds, nickel ads, etc.
4. Nothing Rex or TitATL have argued in this thread are based in any fact whatsoever.

The Army Corps of Engineers lifted the conditional suspension of Caltrans' permit for the Willits Bypass project today, and announced work can resume Friday if Caltrans adheres to deadlines for three special conditions.
"Caltrans has provided a way ahead with a feasible plan to meet their mitigation obligations and move the project forward," said Lt. Col. John Morrow, commander of the San Francisco District, in a press release. "They have set forth concrete measures that show they are very serious about staying in compliance with the project's wetland mitigation requirements."
Caltrans submitted a written response this morning after being asked by the Army Corps when the two groups met on Wednesday.
In a letter, Caltrans offered a plan to address the three project conditions that the Army Corps alleges haven't been met.
Caltrans District Director Charles Fielder wrote that the fencing, water lines and grazing exclusion on all mitigation parcels would be completed by Aug. 2, barring any unforeseen archaeological discoveries.
A timeline was also offered for the documentation for initiation of seed collection and plant propagation. According to the letter, contracts for seed collection and plant propagation have already been awarded. Bids for an off-site seed collection contract will be awarded next week, and the off-site plant propagation contract should be awarded by the end of the month.
Caltrans also will try to submit a revised mitigation plan by next April that meets Army Corps approval, and will complete another evaluation of the project design to determine whether there are any opportunities to reduce permanent fill of wetlands, the letter said.
"Caltrans commits to these actions with mutual agreement to resume Bypass construction immediately," Fielder wrote. "As Caltrans has explained in meetings and its June 27, 2014 letter, it is in the public interest, reduces environmental impacts and reduces the economic impact to taxpayers to lift the suspension for all construction work."
The permit will automatically be suspended if the deadlines aren't met, according to the Army Corps.
The Willits Bypass project adds more than 6 miles of new highway, including two new interchanges, to the east of the Mendocino city's downtown to reroute traffic, which can become backed up in the current series of traffic signals. Two of the four lanes are estimated to be completed by fall 2016.
The controversial project has been the subject of numerous protests, and the National Congress of American Indians passed a resolution late last year asking Congress to launch an investigation after a mapping error led Caltrans work crews to damage an American Indian archeological site.
Construction was stopped last month, costing $1 million in delayed costs, after the Army Corps conditionally suspended the permit due to "ongoing and serious" noncompliance. The two groups met multiple times since before reaching an agreement.
Caltrans will meet with the Army Corps no later than Aug. 15 to provide an update on its progress meeting the mitigation requirements.

You may be on vacation but remember this is your host's home and lifestyle.
Remember to have a flexible schedule whenever possible due to weather. You dont want to put pressure on the captain to meet time constraints that will place everyone in a risky situation.
If you'd like to bring a gift, forget the knickknacks and decorative items. (It may have been hard enough for your hosts to decide what little they could bring from their house to begin with.) Some nice wine or gourmet food items that will keep well will always be appreciated.
Of course, only bring a duffel (one bag per person); dont expect drawers or closets. Naturally, bring soft-soled shoes only, and remember this is the casual cruising life: No need for fancy dress-up clothes.
Most cruisers go to bed early (even at 8 pm). After a night or two of staying up late with you, expect them to retire early. Bring along a good book for yourself.
To give your hosts some privacy, insist on going ashore or off in the dinghy on your own for a while each day. This will make everyone's time spent together more enjoyable.
Ask if there are any maintenance or special projects you can do. Since maintenance is a daily occurrence on a boat, offer to polish the stainless or scrub the deck for your host. This will be genuinely appreciated, and may ensure a return invitation.
Expect to share the cooking and cleaning duties.
Offer to share expenses of the trip (food, fuel, dockage, etc.).
Obviously, communication with the outside world may be impossible at times (your cell phone may be out of range and there may be no phones where you anchor), so dont expect it.
Don't even consider asking if you can bring your pet along. And if you're allergic to cats or dogs, check and see if your hosts have such pets on board. (Sue's sister slept on deck for a week due to her allergy to our cats.)

Camp Lejeune unit receives Presidential Citation
The Presidential Unit Citation is the U.S. Military's highest unit award.
CAMP LEJEUNE - The 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade received the Presidential Unit Citation during a ceremony at Camp Lejeune on Friday. The award is the U.S. Military's highest possible honor for a unit.
"The skill, the professionalism, the devotion, the heroics of this unit cannot be overstated and neither can their accomplishments," said Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus.
Secretary Mabus presented the award to 2nd MEB on behalf of President Obama. The 28,000 men and women in the unit were recognized for outstanding performance in action against enemy forces in Afghanistan from May 29, 2009, to April 12, 2010.
The service members not only struck at the heart of the Taliban insurgency, but also helped to train Afghan forces, build communities, open schools, and protect the Afghan people, according to Secretary Mabus.
The men and women who did not return were also remembered at the ceremony today. "I think it really pays most credit to those, as was mentioned today, that didn't come back," said 2nd MEB Colonel Eric Mellinger, "or those wounded warriors we have that are still suffering."
Marine officials say in order to receive the award, the unit must have displayed such gallantry, determination and 'esprit de corps' in accomplishing its mission, under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions, to have set it apart from and above other units participating in the same campaign.
The degree of heroism required is the same as the Navy Cross awarded to an individual.

METROPOLIS, Ill. â " Final assembly of the long-awaited Metropolis Hope Light was completed Wednesday at Dorothy Miller Park on the Ohio River.
The 30-foot-tall structure "is the only lighthouse in the world that is dedicated to the fight against cancer," said Rudy Bess, Hope Light Foundation director. "This will be a beacon of hope, because that's what lighthouses are all about."
Bess and his wife, Beverly, herself a cancer survivor, came up with the idea nine years ago after losing a family friend and relative to cancer. It's fitting that his wife was a catalyst for the project, Bess said.
"It's thanks to her," Bess said. "She knows how to fight cancer and win. And, she's definitely an inspiration for all the people who are cancer patients â " and survivors."
The lighthouse will be visible for a five-mile radius, Bess said. The beacon is not meant to be a navigational light and efforts will be made to ensure the light does not interfere with river traffic, he said.
Funding for the approximately $45,000 project included Metropolis Area Tourism grant funds, donated construction work and materials, and other community support. Billy Carrell is the committee chairman.
"I'm so excited," said Carrell. "For Metropolis, this is the first lighthouse on the Ohio River ... and I think that's something."
The family of Dorothy Miller, a victim of cancer, donated the park to the city after her death. The original site of the park was where Harrah's Metropolis Hotel & Casino now stands, according to Carrell.
"They (Harrah's officials) wanted to build a hotel there," Carrell said. "So they bought this property and built this (new) park and donated it to the city," Carrell said.
The Hope Light Project is a 501C-3 nonprofit public charity, dedicated to building cancer awareness and promoting early detection, Bess said. In addition, the foundation is selling commemorative bricks that will line the base of the lighthouse and its walkways. A single brick donation is $35, and a double, $70. More information is available at www.hopelightproject.com.

Military planners prepare for war in Mali
By Tiemoko Diallo
BAMAKO (Reuters) - Military experts from Africa, the United Nations and Europe have drawn up preliminary plans to recapture northern Mali from al Qaeda-linked rebels, African officials said on Tuesday.
A source with knowledge of the plan said it will involve a force of more than 4,000 personnel, mostly from West African countries.
"Every military option will be used - ground and air," the source said, asking not to be named.
The crisis in Mali has become a security concern for Western governments worried its vast desert could turn into a training ground for militants.
Once an example of African democracy, it fell into chaos after a coup in March in the capital Bamako that toppled the president and paved the way for the rebel takeover of the north.
International military experts drew up the plan at a week-long meeting in Bamako and submitted it to the West African regional bloc ECOWAS for approval on Tuesday. The blueprint will then be reviewed by the United Nations Security Council in mid-November, setting the stage for action.
"We need to respond in detail to the Security Council on the logistics, timing, size and funding for the deployment of this mission," Desire Ouedraogo, president of the ECOWAS Commission, told military planners at a ceremony on Tuesday.
"So your conclusions will be crucial in the next step, of getting the United Nations Security Council to adopt a new resolution authorising deployment." Continued...

Flush drawers in drywall - better way?
Hi everyone,
I am building a set of 8 drawers that will be going underneath a set of stairs. Specifically, on the side wall. I need for the drawers to be flush mounted to the dry wall. I was thinking of bulding a face frame that would be flush with the dry wall. But, how would I protect the edges of the dry wall the would meet the edges of the face frame. Perhaps those metal edge moulding around the drywall opening that meets the face fame?
Then taking that and blending the dry wall and face together so it is all uniform. So when a drawer is opened it all appears as drywall. I am worried about cracking.
Thank you so much for that reply.
Bring the drywall up close to the frame. Caulk the gap with paintable caulk.
If i'm reading this right J bead or even better tear-away L bead.

The FPyS Quick Start Guide
(This document is also available in the Trac for FPyS)
We will accomplish the following:
- Get an Amazon FPS Account
- Install FPyS
- Create a caller token
- Dissect the response
- Learn more
Get an Amazon FPS Account
Before we do anything else, we need an account with the Amazon FPS system.
Follow this URL, read about the service, and click "Sign Up for this Web Service." Before you come back to this guide, you will need an AWS Access Key and an AWS Secret Access Key.
Install FPyS
With your access identifiers in hand, we're ready to roll, except you need the FPyS library. Here we come to a fork in the road. Should you use the release version or the development version? The library is at a stage now where the development version is highly recommended. We are still in the process of implementing features and tests, so the ground is still shifting a little bit.
Both options outlined here use the Easy Install setuptools package. You can read up on it, or download and execute this script to get started with Easy Install if it isn't already available on your system.
Run from a Subversion Check Out (Recommended)
This outlines development mode for the FPyS library. Check out the code and install it:
user@host $ svn co http://achievewith.us/svn/public/fpys/trunk FPyS ... user@host $ cd FPyS ... user@host $ sudo python setup.py develop ...
That series of commands checks out the latest FPyS code and makes it available to any Python application, regardless of where it is running on your system. You can edit and update the FPyS code, and your applications will pick up the changes the next time they are restarted.
Create a caller token
To do anything like initiate a payment, three tokens are required. One of those tokens, the caller token, can be reused throughout your application. Let's create one now since we'll need it often.
import fpys import uuid # Variables unique to your code: aws_access_key_id = "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY" aws_secret_access_key = "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" instruction_name = "fpys_caller_" + uuid.uuid1().hex # Create a client: fps_client = fpys.FlexiblePaymentClient(aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key) # Install the payment instruction: response = fps_client.installPaymentInstruction(payment_instruction="MyRole == 'Caller';", caller_reference=instruction_name, token_type="Unrestricted", token_friendly_name=instruction_name) # Print the resulting tokenId -- save this for later print "\n\nYour caller token: %s" % response.tokenId
The payment_instruction value above can be any string that is valid in terms of the FPS GateKeeper language. More information on the GateKeeper language is available in the Amazon Flexible Payments Service Developer Guide.
Dissect the response
The FPyS library communicates with Amazon's FPS service using the REST interface. The responses returned by the FPS service are XML documents. All of the API calls and their response documents are detailed in the Amazon Flexible Payments Service Developer Guide.
XML is great and all, but it would be more convenient for most developers to have a more Pythonic object return from calls to the service. For that reason, all calls to the service return an FPSResponse object. The FPSResponse is a loose wrapper around the original XML response document that uses ElementTree to parse out the most relevant bits.
# Install a valid payment instruction >>> response = client.installPaymentInstruction(...) >>> response.success True >>> response.tokenId the_payment_instruction_token_id # Install an invalid payment instruction >>> response = client.installPaymentInstruction(...invalid arguments...) >>> response.success False >>> len(response.errors) 2 >>> response.errors[0]['reason'] "Parse errors..." # Get the account balance >>> response = client.getAccountBalance() >>> response.balances {'TotalBalance': (0.0, 'USD'), 'PendingInBalance': (0.0, 'USD')} # View the original response document >>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET >>> ET.tostring(response.document.getroot())

The Government is warning New Zealanders flying in Tonga it will be at their own risk as the national airline has bought a plane which has been involved in numerous crashes.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) has posted an updated travel advisory in relation to Real Tonga airline which has just purchased an MA-60 aircraft.
"This aircraft has been involved in a significant number of accidents in the last few years,'' MFAT said.
The MA-60 was not certified to fly in New Zealand or other comparable jurisdictions and would not be allowed to do so without a thorough certification process under Civil Aviation rules, the advisory said.
"Travellers utilising the MA-60 do so at their own risk.''
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said the aircraft had been the subject of "serious concerns'' amongst aviation experts.
"In the absence of an internationally respected certification process for Tongan conditions, it is the government's obligation to draw the attention of the travelling public to these issues and our Tongan travel advisory has been updated accordingly.
"The New Zealand Government has put support for the Tongan tourism industry on hold, and we will not be spending taxpayer money promoting tourism in Tonga until we are satisfied with the safety and reliability of this new air service,'' Mr McCully said.
"We are in discussions with the Tongan Government on this issue. I reiterate my offer of support to Tonga to assist them in ensuring aviation safety, a critical component of tourism in the Pacific islands.''

I met Norm while vacationing at Torch Lake when I was a little girl. He organized flag football games for the kids and I loved my experience of having played with a pro. He was a kind and gentle man! When I had a reunion with him in 1991 he had that same magic and I again felt the same warm bond with him that I had in my childhood.

I worked for Norm Masters in his KFC franchise for 3 years. He was a great man and I loved his intellect. Norm would hold meetings about business strategy and relate business tactics to football. He was a great man and because of him, I became a Packer fan and have been one ever since.

By the way, my name is Frank Armstrong even though it shows as our business name of Melodyfarms Travel. I cherished the years working under Norm and I think he inspired everyone he came in contact with. A great man, he will be always missed in my heart.

text: I bought a 3" leveling kit for my 04' 2500hd and I havent installed it yet.. I was just wondering if this aftermarket leveling kit will be any different than what i've got my torsion keys cranked up to now ?? They're already cranked up all but 1/8" on each side, so will this aftermarket 3" leveling kit do anything more than what i've already done myself by tightening the oem torsion keys ?? Some kits claim to be 2", some say 3" .. I bought this kit from eBay for $47.95 and it claims to be 3". So what should I really expect from this cheap leveling kit?

NBA Moneyball
|Search This Category
|View Glossary
StatsCube is a new data warehouse tool which the NBA has been developing over the last few years.
StatsCube has in it every point, rebound, assist, steal, block, turnover, missed shot, foul and substitution since the 1996-97 season, when play-by-play data first started being tracked courtside. The point in the game when each occurred, and what players were on the floor at the time, is recorded. Best of all, StatsCube can slice and dice the data so teams can analyze it instantaneously.
Say a team's power forward grabs only X rebounds per minute. Is the team better when he's on the floor? What players shoot the best in the last three minutes of a close game? Does a center block as many shots after he's picked up his fourth foul as he does when he has fewer than four?
What's Next: During Game 4 of the 2009 Finals, the NBA did a demo of a system in development that tracks player and ball movement through the use of six HD cameras placed around the arena. This technology, called SportVu, gives the precise location of every one on the floor so that the play that is run, all of the the ball touches and the positioning for anybody on the court in terms of x,y coordinates is a matter of few clicks. Even the trajectory of the ball as it went to the basket will be available.
