The lochan has been much modified by its owners to create a haven for wildlife, with islands being built, shallow margins created and sedge beds planted. The result has been an influx of ducks including mallard, tufted duck and occasional mandarins. Common sandpipers breed and this year Slavonian grebes started building a nest but then for some reason left.
The pupils were very keen and soon started seeing things that I had missed, such as the palmate newt on the path that I stepped over and the froglets nearby. The wild flowers included foxgloves varying in colour from deep purple to all white, tormentil and three types of heathers. All the time we walked round the lochan there were swallows and house martens hawking low over the water. We heard the common sandpiper before we saw it and then one of the sharp-eyed pupils saw it perched by the side of a track.
The picnic lunch, prepared by my wife, went down well, and then it was into the pinewood with the sun hot on our backs. A freshly emerged golden ringed dragonfly flew on to some heather a few inches off the ground, and a sunlit glade produced a meadow brown butterfly and several large blue damselflies that impressed the pupils as much as the dragonfly. Only one pupil, following behind, saw a red squirrel - the rest of us had to be content with finding many cones stripped to the core. This nature ramble has taken place for the last 10 years and its success is due to the enthusiasm of the youngsters.

Agassi last night defeated France's Julien Benneteau 7-6, 6-2 at the Mercedes-Benz Cup to move into the quarter-finals of the hardcourt event, only 48 hours after defeating fellow American Alex Bogomolov.
By achieving that success the 34-year-old top seed became only the sixth male player to record 800 career victories. But it was his first win since March.

Definitions: Structurally deficient and sufficiency rating
A bridge sufficiency rating includes a multitude of factors: inspection results of the structural condition of the bridge, traffic volumes, number of lanes, road widths, clearances, and importance for national security and public use, to name just a few.
The sufficiency rating is calculated per a formula defined in Federal Highway Administration's Recording and Coding Guide for the Structure Inventory and Appraisal of the Nation's Bridges. This rating is indicative of a bridge's sufficiency to remain in service. The formula places 55 percent value on the structural condition of the bridge, 30 percent on its serviceability and obsolescence, and 15 percent on its essentiality to public use.
The point calculation is based on a 0-100 scale and it compares the existing bridge to a new bridge designed to current engineering standards.
The bridge's sufficiency rating provides an overall measure of the bridge's condition and is used to determine eligibility for federal funds. Bridges are considered structurally deficient if significant load carrying elements are found to be in poor condition due to deterioration or the adequacy of the waterway opening provided by the bridge is determined to be extremely insufficient to point of causing intolerable traffic interruptions.
Every bridge constructed goes through a natural deterioration or aging process, although each bridge is unique in the way it ages.
The fact that a bridge is classified under the federal definition as "structurally deficient" does not imply that it is unsafe.

The Luxury Visionaries 2016
The last time I'd tried fake lashes, they were spiky like porcupine bristles, and hurt if they got into your eyes
Who needs make-up remover when you hardly need eye make-up? With my amplified lashes, I could be out of the door in the morning in seconds
If you had told me a year ago that I'd be regularly slotting a session with an eyelash technician into my grooming schedule, I'd have done the polite version of laughing in your face. A gentle flexing of my delicately arched brows perhaps. How time consuming. How high maintenance. How drag queen-y. And by the way, I didn't have a grooming schedule as such. Wrong, on at least one of those counts. Aforementioned eyelash technician has cumulatively saved me hours in the morning.
Sara doesn't actually call herself an eyelash technician. A former primary school art teacher in her native Iran, she's far too sensible for that. But she is highly technical in her methodology – agile, fast, fleeting of touch. And eyelashes are her stock in trade. But also eyebrows, which are what first brought us together at the Harvey Nichol's Blink – the brow bar chain that has become an indispensable pit-stop for thousands of women, me included.
What did we do before threading became mainstream? It's not that a hirsute brow looks bad per se. Brook Shields in Pretty Baby? As hairy and delectable as a peach. But one reaches a certain age – or rather one's face does, because the spirit refuses to catch up – and one needs a little lift. That's what an arched brow does. So you see, I did have a grooming schedule.
And once one has acquired one of those, one becomes more ambitious. Why not some luxurious topiary to complement the manicured lawns? Except that the last time I'd tried fake lashes, a few years ago, they were hard and spiky like porcupine bristles, and hurt like hell if they got into your eyes – a bit of an occupational hazard what with them being so close to the eyeball. And they did make me look like a drag queen. But hell, time moves on. And we must move with it.
The first time Sara gave me Bambi eyes, it was for some big do where there would be cameras and red carpets. Even though, as Nanny always says, no one would be looking at me, I wanted help. That initial session, Sara applied a full set of the "naturals" – two rows along the top lid of soft, single lashes, about a 150 of them in total. It took her an hour – I've been with other less technically proficient techies who've been 50 per cent slower – long enough to hear five chapters of Bleak House on my iPod. The upshot, Sara promised, was that they would last for at least three weeks provided I did as I was told. I should avoid using oily make-up removers, desist from rubbing my eyes too much and not get them wet for the first 24 hours.
Who needs make-up remover when you hardly need eye make-up? With my amplified lashes, I could be out of the door in the morning in seconds if need be. No fiddling around with kohl or liner or any of the other life-long tricks of my trade. A sweep of shadow if there was time, and I was done. I looked younger, fresher, more awake – and would never be cowed by the Cloggy Mascara brush again.
Two weeks later I was back. 50 per cent of Sara's handiwork was still in place, but I needed re-enforcements, or what Blink refers to as infills. In the long run, it was more cost effective I told myself. A full set costs £150. Infills start from £40, so instead of waiting for them all to drop out…
And so a habit was seeded. Every two to three weeks I'd nip into Sara and get my brows and lashes tended (I prefer seeing her at the Fenwick's branch of Blink on Bond Street, where there is a private room and a flat bed for our trysts). I could be in and out in 60 minutes and no one was any the wiser: completely natural looking fakes. Only those who knew me very well ever asked if I'd been "getting help". The next question was where could they get some too.
Eight months later, I'm on a break. Sara recommends going on a glue-detox every six months for a couple of weeks or so to give your own lashes a breather. Boy, do I miss my little friends. My eyes look diminished and mascara feels so primitive now. Stoically however, I'm taking the medicine – literally. A friend has given me some RevitaLash which, she swears, is the serum responsible for her fake looking naturals. We'll see. But for now, I can't wait 'til my detox is up.

Behind Thomson, Falcons top Mustangs
FLUSH – A big first half and a demanding final two minutes sealed the win for the Riley County girls' basketball team on the road against Rock Creek 38-29 Friday night.
The Falcons also stayed undefeated at 15-0.
Riley County senior and K-State women's basketball signee Kelly Thomson led the game with 22 points and senior Elizabeth Herrs led the Mustangs with 11 points. Megan Srna, a junior, was also in double-digits for Rock Creek with 10.
"We felt good about the way we were ready to play," Riley County head coach Harold Oliver said. "We had good energy on both ends of the floor and really played a good first half. We didn't carry it over in the second half, but sometimes that happens."
The Falcons led after the first quarter 13-7 and extended that lead into halftime when Thomson banked a long 3-pointer high off the glass at the buzzer to send Riley County into the break with a 26-11 advantage.
Rock Creek (12-3, 4-3 Mid-East League) opened the second half with a trey from Srna to try and capture some early momentum, but the Mustangs' spark was ended when Thomson nailed another 3-pointer on the other end of the floor.
While the Falcons held a comfortable 16-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Rock Creek did make it interesting at the end — even without point guard Shiann Bruce, who went down with a serious knee injury towards the end of the third.
A quick 5-0 run to start the final period with a basket plus the foul shot by Herrs and a long two from the wing from Srna cut the deficit to 36-25 with under five minutes to go, and a 2-for-2 trip at the free throw line by Srna made it a nine-point game with 2:15 to go.
But Riley County — which had played with efficient ball movement the entire night — was able to hold onto the last possession for the rest of the way.
"I think the whole game boiled down to our inability to hit 3-pointers tonight," Rock Creek head coach Mike Zabel said. "That's some of the best looks I've had against Riley County, but they just refused to let Herrs have the ball inside.
"But I'm just so proud of my girls, they didn't give up because they could have got blown out there pretty bad. They fought, hung in there and gave themselves a little bit of a chance to come back. That's an outstanding team Riley County has, and I think they are one of the top five teams in the state regardless of class. For us to battle that hard against them I'm pretty proud of my team."
Oliver said the strategy to hold onto the ball in the final two minutes plays to the strengths of his squad.
"We're a good free throw shooting team and a good ball-handling team," Oliver said. "So when we spread the floor — on anyone, really — it becomes difficult to defend us. So we just wanted them to force them to come out and chase us a little more."
For the game, both teams had seven free throw makes, but the Falcons were more efficient from the stripe making 7-of-10 attempts, while Rock Creek was 7-of-14.
Riley County 13 13 10 2 — 38
Rock Creek 7 9 9 9 — 29
Individual scoring
RILEY COUNTY (38) — Thomson 22, Rheaume 7, Mak. Vargo 5, Phebus 2, Corbin 2.
ROCK CREEK (29) — Herrs 11, Srna 10, Snapp 3, Elliot 3, Christenson 2.
3-pointers — Riley County 3 (Thomson 2, Mak. Vargo); Rock Creek 2 (Srna, Elliot).

Avoiding The Slice
By Kickntrue on 5/16/08
There is a conversation in our forums right now about how to stop slicing the ball. I've assembled a couple quick youtube lessons to waste your day with.
And... "how to hit a draw"
[ comments ]
theredmission says:
I'll be honest man, out off all the how to cure a slice videos on the net thats a pretty crappy selection. Check out the golf videos on videojug.com those are the best I've found so far on the net.

Went to video jug and I agree they do have better vidoes. Thanks

Johnny Max of the website Heirloom Seed Swap joins me to talk about how you can save your seeds and engage in seed swapping (he also has his own podcast, Self Sufficient Homestead and BeerTalkRadio, interestingly enough).
We go over the basics of seed-saving your own seed from the crops that you grow in your own garden. Then we discuss how you can take those seeds and trade them for a wide variety of different seeds on his website www.heirloomseedswap.com
The discussion also goes over how to cultivate your own species of a vegetable variety. There is some pretty gardening questions put forth by myself (I'm a newbie at this gardening thang) but much of it will have value to even the seasoned gardener.
This week I talk with Stefan Molyneaux, host of FreeDomain Radio. Not only can you get this episode as a podcast but you can also watch the video of Stefan's Youtube channel, here is the LINK. You can see ol' Two Beers in action in this video as he interviews a guest, I have to admit that staring into a camera is not the most comfortable experience in the world but it is a new challenge that I hope to overcome. In fact, if you find me terribly dreadful in this interview (which upon review I think is the case) then you can blame it to the fact that it was the camera in my face.
Like every episode on this program we discussed a multitude of topics, some of which were free markets, healthcare, public smoking, the initiation of force, Alex Jones, why I (or Stefan, or anyone looking to make a difference) will never run for office, etc..
As always with Stefan, if you don't agree with him then at least be entertained by his info-tainment, it is truly some of the best out there.
Chris Bedford returns to talk about what is going on since we last talked. In that time frame he has continued work on his local farmers market, worked as a community activist, and is currently working with a committee on bringing a TED Conference to a nearby college.... what have you been doing since Chris was last on our show?
We also wander off into many other topics worthy of discussion, of course, the most notable side discussion is our chat about the Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie. Chris Bedford shared some insightful analysis from someone who was a union activist for many years.

Day 64 - last day
Team XYZ (Keystone) [2016] — at October 1, 2016 14:00 UTC
We started the day with the last call with our supervisor Sofia. We had a nice chat with her, talked about our progress during the summer, about our plans for the future, and we genuinely hope that we can stay in touch even after our RGSoC is over.
Then we spent the rest of the day working on our second blog post, which is now live, and continued our work on the visualization task. We made some progress, but against our best hopes to finish it off, there is still some work to do. We updated our mentor Max with our progress and he suggested that we submit a WIP PR, which we will do, and next week we will pick it up again and keep coding.
So this is it. Our last daily summary. But it's not the end - we met a lot of cool people with whom we hope to keep in touch, we learned loads of stuff that we can now build on, and we have two conferences planned in the coming months (in Berlin and in Paris), where we can hopefully meet some of our colleagues from other teams.
Thank you, Rails Girls Summer of Code!
Day 66: Last Day
Team Echo (qutebrowser) [2016] — at October 1, 2016 08:13 UTC

Day 63: Friday. Wait. It can't be over yet.
Team MitPal(Ruby on Rails) (Open Source Event Manager) [2016] — at October 1, 2016 01:29 UTC
This is our last day of RGSoC. Can we hit the rewind button please? I can't believe that it's really done. Today was a day for being thankful. Thankful for Rails Girls Summer of Code and all of the wonderful people who made it happen. Thankful to all of the teams who believed enough in a dream to spend 3 months of their lives chasing it. Thankful to all of the spouses, partners, families, and friends who encourage, soothed, listened, and pushed us toward our goals. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Today We:
* Finished code challenge
* Met with our coach
For the Rest of Our Lives We Plan To:
* Continue achieving our goals
Day 60: Last Day!
Team JaM (Servo) [2016] — at October 1, 2016 00:12 UTC
Today is the last day of RGSoC. We are incredibly sad, and proud of our summer!
Things we did:
- Both of us worked on a secret blog post. It will be ready soon!
Things we learned:
A couple failing tests and their reasons:
assert_equals: response type is basic expected "basic" but got "default"
- our API for returning responses (ie. process_response) doesn't differentiate between the different types yet, so we need to make that possible to make those tests pass. Josh thinks that
FetchMetadatawill need to be changed.
assert_equals: Content-Type is text/html; charset=utf-8 expected "text/html;charset=utf-8" but got "text/html; charset=utf-8"
There's a lot of debate what to do with a space.
- Keep learning.
- Improve Fetch so that it passes more tests!

Day 62 : What a summer !
Team Ruby's secret (Exception Notification) [2016] — at September 30, 2016 19:59 UTC
We can't believe that the three months had passed so quickly , we still remember the small details of our very first day as if it were only yesterday .There will be something missing next weeks , our daily logs, our weekly calls with Linda <3 ..... but we're happy , I guess we made our first step in building our future .It was the strangest but definitely the best summer in my whole life .We only have one wish for RGSoC 2017 , we really hope to see more women getting into tech and more teams from Egypt applying to RGSoC to have an amazing summer as we did .
Day 61. The last one ;((((((
Team RubyCats (Rails Girls Summer of Code — The Teams App) [2016] — at September 30, 2016 19:21 UTC
Yesterday evening we had an ending call with our team. It was so weird to summarize our RGSoC. It just started and it's the end...? We haven't completed many things we wanted to. It seemed like it's not possible that 3 months already passed by.
We have a feeling of emptiness now. It's like waking up from a wonderful dream and coming back to ordinary life :((
We would like the RGSoC to last forever. We are going to continue working on Teams App after the RGSoC.
The last day is here
Team l1ghtsab3r (VOC) [2016] — at September 30, 2016 17:06 UTC
It feels so weird writing the update for the last day. No more supervisor and team calls. No more excitement about the next big thing we are gonna pick up. No more Reminders to update your team log (Maybe good? :P)
We had our team call yesterday and so today ends without a blast. But we didn't want it to.
So, we sent in a PR with a huge amount of work (https://github.com/pybee/voc/pull/262)
Seeing how much we loved working for VOC and working with Russell, who has been an absolute delight, we are going to continue working.
We will also be holding a Intro To Open Source Session next week in our institute and would be spreading the word about RGSoC and VOC around us.
We will be in constant touch with our coaches, our mentor and our supervisor because we absolutely loved them!!
This is team l1ghtsab3r signing off!
The Last Day
Team joda (SoundDrop) [2016] — at September 30, 2016 14:51 UTC
Today was our last day and it felt weird: Sort of like finishing school. We're happy we have achieved this much, but are also sad leaving our code summer behind. We have learned a lot, but there is yet more to learn. We're very thankful for all the help we have had and will continue learning and coding 😀
Our last day : 😢
Met with Tam and talked about our last contribution within Summer of Code✅
Showed her the treasure hunt that Absolventa coaches prepared for us✅
Talked about "The Future" - What comes next?✅
Power Hower: Learned about Linter Rules✅ and about reactive programing✅
Finished preparing talk for Goodbye Party✅
Finished styling the API explorer✅
We will miss all of the amazing people we met during RGSoC and hope to keep in Touch! To Infinity and beyond!!!
Day 63
Team XYZ (Keystone) [2016] — at September 30, 2016 12:17 UTC
Day 63. We continued working on our visualization task, because although we have done the main part of it, we would like to be able to submit some improvements that we came up with on the way. There is still some work to be done, but hopefully we will be able to finish it by the end of the programme.
In the evening we had our end of RGSoC party with our coach Jano and a bunch of friends from our Women in Technology meetup group. Unfortunately Josef could not attend, because he got sick, but at least we have a good excuse to get together again for another small party with everyone. We discussed our experience during the Summer of Code and we also discussed the future of our meetups and what sort of activities we would like to do going forward.

Today we tried to implement app update in our current api.js code. It uses 'promise' in JS and fs.rename in Node.js. So we started to review 'promise' and study how we can use 'fs.rename' in our project. Thepromise is really powerful to make the work/things asynchronously . [Promise] We can make the … Read more.

assert_equals: Request.text() should decode data as UTF-8and
assert_equals: Response.text() should decode data as UTF-8 expected. In the afternoon fetch got merged into master, so I retested
basicat that point....now there is a lot of
assert_equals: Request.text() should decode data as UTF-8 expectedand
assert_equals: Response's type is basic expected "basic" but got "default". Started trying to figure out what's wrong with body's

text: EEA and Norway Grants Programme risk management Inger K. Stoll, Head of Communication, Reporting and Evaluation, Financial Mechanism Office March 2013 1 Results and risks What is Results Based Management (RBM) RBM is a management strategy by which all actors, contributing directly or indirectly to achieving a set of results, ensure that their processes, products and services contribute to the achievement of desired results (outputs, outcomes and impact) What is a result and a risk? In the context of the Grants: A result is the output, outcome or impact of a development intervention A risk is an event that may occur and impede the objective 2 KEY CONCEPTS Results achievement Beneficiary oriented Managing for results and reduced risks 3 Risks • Risks are an expression of uncertainty • Risks are events that may occur, and if they occur, have harmful or negative effects on the achievement of results • Risks are closely related to the results and should consequently be analysed against the results framework of a programme • Risk analyses strengthen the basis for choosing realistic objectives and level of ambitions 4 Risk management process in 11 steps Establish strategy and processes 1. Develop a strategy for integrating risk management in results management 2. Establish risk leadership integrated in results management Analysis, actions and follow-up on several levels 3. Identify objectives 4. Identify critical success factors (assumptions) 5 Risk management process in 11steps 5. Identify risks 6. Assess and prioritise the risks, in terms of likelihood and consequence; high – medium – low 7. Decide risk tolerance 8. Define and assess risk response 9. Response to residual risk 6 10. Mitigate and manage risks 11. Dialogue and Report FMO's risk management strategy : http://www.eeagrants.org/ 7 Risk management levels Total Grants Country Programme Projects Risk strategy at each level, according to roles and responsibilities 8 Steps 1 & 2: Establish risk strategy and leadership • Risk management system in place • Programme Operator must actively take leadership at programme and project levels • Assign roles at each level • Also keep an eye on national level risks, and mitigate where possible 9 Step 3: Identify objectives at all levels, example Objective (impact) Widespread improvements in societ or a sector Gender equality and work-life balance promoted Outcome(s) Intermediate effects on target groups and systems Gender pay gap reduced Outputs Products and services delivered 1. Wage negotiations are gender sensitive. 2. Training is carried out. Activities Tasks transforming inputs to outputs. 1. Present statistics on gender wage differences 2. Train trade unions and employers associations in g. pay gap reduction Inputs Financial, human and material resources Budget: X € , Input from DPP (y people z €), Resources from local institutions 10 Step 3. Identify objectives at all levels Example – Renewable Energy Objective (pre-defined) Expected outcome(s) (pre-defined) Outputs More energy efficient RES in place Types of projects •Modernised RES infrastructure •R&D on RES •Feasibility of RES mapped out in relation to local conditions Increased share of renewable energy in energy use Increased awareness of and education in renewable energy solutions Increased renewable energy production X policies at local and regional level to stimulate RES developed •Training in RES planning competence •Plans/policy development 100 MW capacity RES constructed and in operation •Windmills •Solar systems •Hydropower •Bioenergy X awareness raising programmes at local level carried through X training courses in RES provided to officials at local and regional level •Awareness raising campaigns at local level •Training courses for officials at regional level •Train the trainers •Training courses for officials at regional level 11 Step 4: Identify assumptions • Assumptions are the necessary positive conditions that allow for a succesful cause-and-effect relationship between the different levels of results. • Assumptions are critical success factors. • Assumptions are formulated after the objectives, to ensure results chain realism 12 Step 4: Identify assumptions at all levels Objective (impact) Widespread improvements in society or a sector Assumptions Outcome(s) Intermediate effects on target groups and systems Assumptions Outputs Products and services delivered Assumptions Activities Tasks transforming inputs to outputs Assumptions Inputs Financial, human and material resources Assumptions 13 Step 4: Assumptions An example • Outcome: Participation in local election increases from 63% in 2012 to 75% in 2016. • Output: Voters registration increases from 70% in 2012 to 90% in 2016. • Assumption: Voting centres are operational and in place on voting day. 14 Step 5: Identify risks • Risk identification is done in all phases of a programme, but early identification gives the best effect. • Normally requires several contributers. • If a critical assumption is likely to occur but not certain, it may represent a risk. • Risks are expressed as negative statements in relation to achievement of the desired result. 15 Step 5. Risk identification • Identify the risk, monitor, manage and try to influence. A risk register can be useful. • There might be a perceived conflict of interest regarding sharing information of risks. • Keep in mind: Always document your risk identification, analysis and mitigation 16 Identification of a risk An example Impact (Objective) Assumptions Risks Voting centres are operational and with all logicistics in place on voting day. Voting material is not available in all local languages. Outcome Participation in local election increases from 63% in 2012 to 75% in 2016. Output Voters registration increases from 70% in 2012 to 90% in 2016. Activities Inputs 17 Risk categories It is common to group the risks in categories. FMO uses nine broad risk categories: • Policy and politics • Governance: Institutional, management, transparency and accountability • Corruption and procurement issues • Socio-cultural and gender equity, minorities, Roma, rights and values 18 Risk categories • • • • • Financial issues Economic issues Environmental and climate issues Technical and technological issues Role of DPPs and project partners NB – Other risk categories are also relevant 19 Risk dimensions Each risk category consists of certain risk dimensions Example Governance category: • Adequate competence and capacity is not available • Supportive legal framework conditions are not in place • The control systems are not sufficient 20 Step 6: Assess and prioritise the risks A risk analysis contains an assessment of the risks in terms of • Probability or likelihood of the occurence of the risks • Consequences or impact if the event occurs The risk assessment is a forward-looking exercise; it should take into account the whole agreement period - and beyond - to ensure sustainability of the results 21 Risk probability and consequence 22 Risk Analysis Medium "Black Swan" Low Probability High High risk Killer assumption Low Medium High Consequence 23 Narrative risk summary • The risk rating is accompanied by a narrative assessment highlighting the major risks identified. • All the high or substantial risk ratings are named as major risks Keep in mind: Distinguish probability and consequence 24 Step 7: Risk tolerance levels Risks are inevitable. It is not an aim to avoid risks at all costs. A higher risk may be acceptable in contexts where the expected impact and benefits are higher than the potential risks. 25 7. Risk tolerance • Decide and document what level of risk you accept • Communicate the risk appetite 26 8. Define and assess risk response • Identify mitigating actions (including conrols) and assess their impact • Decide on mitigating actions • Re-assess to conclude on residual risk 27 Step 9: Response to residual risk • Decisions regarding tolerance of major residual risks can be divided in the folllowing strategies: Avoid/terminate: Redesign programme or terminate the programme or parts of it. Transfer/share: Share risk with other partners (ex DPPs) or pass the impact of the risk to third part (e.g. via an insurance policy) 28 9. Response to residual risk… Accept/tolerate: Accept the risks without any mitigating actions, but monitor and manage if the risk level increases 29 Step 10: Mitigate and manage risks • Reduce, prevent, mitigate • Establish a system for risk monitoring and handling. • During implementation it is good practice to incorporate the mitigating measures in the regular work plan of the programme or projects, assign staff members responsible for actions and resources required. 30 Mitigation and management • Assess the implementation progress of the mitigating measures, manage and report. • Identify any new risks or changes in circumstances and add to your risk registry and work plan. • Sometimes we need to redesign our risk mitigation strategy and actions. 31 Risk mitigation 32 Step 11:Reporting and dialogue • The programme risk management will be reported in the Annual Programme Report and in the NFP's Annual Strategic Report • The risk picture and the possible mitigating actions will be a central element in the dialogue between donors, beneficiaries and the FMO 33 Risks to achievment of outcomes • At the programme level, the FMO bases its risk assessment on the Programme Proposal, the Annual Programme Report the Annual Strategic Report from the NFP and the dialogue. EU analyses are also used. • The FMO especially focuses on likelihood and consequence of risks to achievement of the outcomes = output to outcome review 34 Results for the beneficiaries • We are interested in achieving results for the beneficiaries, e g the higher level objectives, and correspondingly interested in the higher level risks We are in it together! 35

So for some time now I've been trying to come up with a method of mounting my case in the trunk which takes up the least amount of space, while still being securely held and easily accessible. So far, its simply been bungie corded against the rear seats, which takes next to no space, but without screwing it down to the seats and mounting it like an amp, its not going to be too secure. It also means that I have to lean alllllll the way into my trunk (its not a small trunk) to either pull the hdd caddy or put a cd/dvd in, as well as the fact that the rear seat back is at an angle, casing the whole system to sit at a ~70 degree angle. So I got to thinking about it, and while it would take away a bit more room, why not mount it like a cd changer? Has anyone else mounted their systems to the top of their trunk? I've even manged to find a matx desktop chassis with the correct depth (16") with the two external 5.25 bays i need. It would probably be even more seemless without a "monster" of a case like i need (full height agp&pci, 2 external 5.25's). Any problems or unforseen problems that I might not be aware of mounting it like this?
No announcement yet.

Re: Methods of mounting?
Methods of mounting?
anyway, back to your topic... Ive been trying to do a similiar thing with my amp rack. I want it stealth, but easily accessible.
I really havent found anything plug and play, but I have been investigating industrial quality drawer sliders. I think it might work for you. The problem tho, is installing the sliders and making sure they are square. Its hard to do in cramp quarters.
maybe someone else has a better idea that I can use too.
I hadn't thought about using rails to mount on, but the more i think about it, the more I like it. I had been thinking about dilling eyelets and holes in the top of the case that would go bigger to smaller so i could put bolts in the car, and raise the case onto them and push it into place (is there a "proper" name for the very common mounting method i just described?), but the rails should make it easy to mount and remove.
I used the non-skid rubber stuff that they sell at stores like Target. It looks like melted rubber that has beaded up all together and comes in rolls. My computer has never shifted once in the trunk and that is the only method I use to secure it.
Heh, you dont drive that delorean hard enough then
I have planned on using this method since the insception of my project. Although, i never wanted to mount the board/drives in a case. Rather i am building a rack that will sit level just under the rear deck of the car (the top of the trunk), to which i will mount motherboard and drives. In other words, i have a shelf in the top forward most portion of the trunk, that I will drill the atx mounting holes and mount the board. I WAS considering sliding racks (cabinet sliding rails), although i figured i needed the ability to REMOVE the board more than i needed to be able to slide it out.
My latest idea is just a board that i mount the motherboard, drives, and psu to, that can be taken out and setup in the house.
My thoughts are little scattered right now, any questions?System in the works:
Celeron 850 or PIII 933, SB Live! Value into a stock 4 channel amp, ATI vid, 10.4" sharp LCD w/ allen's controller, Elo SW touchscreen overlay and controller, GPS, TV tuner, FW DVD drive, 4 port serial card, and some other stuff....
Loads of ideas.

For a girl who trades on easy-going charm, Emma Stone's inexorable rise over the past year seems to be the result of precision plotting. This is the actress who, aged 15, gave her parents a PowerPoint presentation entitled Project Hollywood, to convince them to let her drop out of school and move to Los Angeles. When casting directors kept sending the naturally blonde Stone for entirely inappropriate cheerleader-type roles, she dyed her hair brown – and then, when she was cast in her first film, Superbad, turned herself into a redhead: anything to stand out from the crowd.
You have to say it's worked. Still only 22, Stone has just seen the back of a remarkable summer. First, there have been two bona fide hits – the Steve Carell comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love (global box office $136m and counting) and The Help, the adaptation of the best-selling novel by Kathryn Stockett that's the sleeper hit of the season (taking $164m in the US alone). Then there was that watershed in any actor's career, a cover shoot for Vanity Fair – in a particularly fetching striped bikini. "It still boggles my mind," she reflects, widening those almond-shaped green eyes. "It feels like it didn't really happen. You think: 'Why me?'"
She even laid the groundwork for what will surely be the biggest hit of her career to date with a visit to San Diego's Comic-Con (or "the Con", as she calls it) ahead of the release of next year's blockbuster reboot The Amazing Spider-Man, co-starring Britain's Andrew Garfield as the web-spinning superhero. A veteran of the famed fanboy convention – "it wasn't my first rodeo," she laughs, explaining she went for 2009's horror-comedy Zombieland – she enthuses about the fans who welcomed her casting as love interest Gwen Stacy. "That kind of passion is one of the most fun reasons to be involved with something like Spider-Man."
Then again, since Stone became the object of geek affection in Superbad, she has been a poster-child for the nerd crowd, flogging her goofy charms in films like The House Bunny, The Rocker and Easy A. Her skills as a comedienne have certainly got the respect and attention of her co-stars.
"I remember being with Bill Murray on Zombieland," says Woody Harrelson. "He was like: 'That girl is just gold – everything that comes out of her mouth. An incredible improviser.' It's really rare that you see a really funny, beautiful woman, who really just has the whole package. She's got it all."
Today wearing jeans, brushed-suede boots and a forest green sleeveless blouse, Stone certainly gives the impression of a girl who can't quite believe that she's got it all. She's baffled by all the press attention.
"If I'm being given an opportunity to say something and I've got nothing to say, then what am I doing? It concerns me... if I don't find my voice. I don't ever think that I should be political. I don't think I ever need to extend those viewpoints. That is so personal. And everyone should be making their own decisions, and I don't need to influence anyone. I'm an actor. What can I influence in that sense?"
In person, Stone is affable and genuine, the sort you can't imagine going off the rails on the Hollywood party scene. But underneath it all, there's a determination to be taken seriously. Right now, she's filming The Gangster Squad, which purports to tell the story of the LAPD running up against notorious gangster Mickey Cohen.
"I've got my 1949 nails on," she grins, waggling a flash of red in my direction. Featuring as a "sharp-tongued siren" caught in a love triangle, it means going head-to-head with Sean Penn, who plays Cohen, as well as reuniting with Ryan Gosling, her Crazy, Stupid, Love co-star. "It's pretty damn cool," she drools, with good reason.
Still, it's The Help that has proved Stone as more than just a comic star. Featuring a predominantly female ensemble cast, Stone takes the de facto lead – Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, a would-be journalist living in Jackson, Mississippi, during the Civil Rights movement era in the 1960s. Deciding to pen a book about "the help" – the black maids who cook and clean for their white employers – Skeeter's book causes a storm in their segregated community, where women such as the awful Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas Howard) campaign for their domestics to use separate bathrooms.
Much like Skeeter's book, which becomes a word-of-mouth hit, the film itself has gradually grown in popularity – though Stone is unsure why it touched a nerve. "I think it might be because our culture has become so wild about escapism. So many movies are about the location it's taking place in, or the stunts and the explosions, which I'm all fine with, I love escapism as much as the next person. But I think people also like a good old-fashioned story. And this has so much within it. Just for some reason, this story has struck a chord with so many people. You'd be hard-pressed to explain it." Part of her preparation was to watch the six-part documentary series Eyes on the Prize.
"It was incredible," she drawls. "It was so enlightening and horrifying reading about the Jim Crow [racial segregation] laws, which I had no idea existed, and realising just how separate everything was. It was all new to me – and thank God I know it now. I think Eyes on the Prize should be required viewing in schools, because just to appreciate how far we've come has changed my whole life. "
Interestingly, Stone was shooting The Help when she found out that she won her role in The Amazing Spider-Man; not easy when her co-star, Bryce Dallas Howard, played the same character in Spider-Man 3.
"She was maybe the first person that came into my trailer. She banged on my door and said [adopting a rather nasal accent], 'the internet is saying that you are Gwen Stacy'. And I had just found out. They tell you that you're going to play Gwen Stacy and they say, 'it's going out in a minute and a half'. I had 90 seconds to go like this [she hyperventilates] and then it was all over the internet. So two minutes later, Bryce was like: 'Hi! Is this true?'"
In some ways, you might say winning the female lead in a blockbuster like this is the ultimate vindication of the Project Hollywood presentation. Born in Scottsdale, Arizona, and a regular of a regional youth theatre group in Phoenix from the age of 11 (The Wind in the Willows was her first play), it didn't take long before Stone had her sights set on Tinseltown. With her father a "self-made man", who started his own contracting company up in 1986, she estimated that to argue her case, she needed to meet him on his own terms. "A presentation is the way to get your point across. I was definitely my father's daughter on that one!"
With her parents' backing, Stone moved to Los Angeles when she was 15, living in an apartment with her mother, while her father and younger brother stayed in Arizona. Home-schooled, so she could audition in the day, Stone joined the legions of other young hopefuls attending brutal cattle-calls. Her "rock bottom" moment, she says, came when she tried out for the NBC sci-fi show Heroes, only to overhear the casting directors tell the girl before her "on a scale of one to 10, you're an 11". Out of the room came Hayden Panettiere – who ended up with the role of cheerleader Claire Bennet – and Stone went home, mortified.
Fortunately, she got Superbad and it changed her life. "I was still dependent on my parents and Superbad happened right before I was 18, and I became financially independent. So it was like, 'thank God!'" Since then, she has gradually watched her anonymity disappear – a process she's still getting used to.
"When people say something, it's really nice. But when people whisper or point, and you feel like you're a zoo animal, then it's scary and odd, because it's alienating." Together with her girl-next-door looks, Stone still seems like one of us, a starry-eyed fan who still loves to read celebrity interviews in newspapers and magazines.
"I'm not one of these people that must disassociate themselves from it, or has to cut it off," she says. "Other than I get addicted to it, so I have to do it in moderation!" Likewise, she took herself off Facebook. "I get addicted to the internet. I have a Twitter account. I look at it a lot, but I don't tweet. I'd be terrified that I'd say something and never be able to live it down." That's hard to imagine; Stone is far too in control for anything as careless as that.

EM Forster Theatre, Tonbrodge School
Tonbrige, Kent, United Kingdom
Comprar ingressosSeatGeek
The UK's number one selling classical vocal group, Mediaeval Baebes have announced a 9 date tour of England in December 2011 which will include a show at the EM Forster Theatre in Tonbridge on Sunday December 18th.
This outing will continue the tradition of the Mediaeval Baebes' annual Christmas tour but will see the band perform five intimate candlelit acoustic shows at some smaller churches for the first time in addition to four full band shows where they will be accompanied by additional musicians.
The acoustic shows will give the band an opportunity to showcase some of the new material they have been working on for their forthcoming album 'The Huntress' which focuses on the vocal strengths of the group and captures the timeless essence of the Mediaeval Baebes. 'The Huntress' is being produced by Musical Director Katharine Blake and due for release in Spring 2012. As a Christmas gift to fans, the band will be releasing the first single from 'The Huntress', 'Veni Veni Bella' as a free download with accompanying video in December.
Originally formed in 1996, the all female Mediaeval Baebes line up has evolved over the years and currently consists of Musical Director, Katharine Blake alongside Emily Alice Ovenden, Esther Dee, Bev Lee Harling, Sarah Kayte Foster, Clare Edmondson and Tanya Jackson. These accomplished songwriters, multi-instrumentalists and vocalists create their unique sound by drawing inspiration from medieval texts which are set to original scores with the use of both classical and medieval musical instruments, all whilst singing in an array of long forgotten languages.
Now a fully independent and self funding entity, throughout their prolific career, Mediaeval Baebes have filled castles, caves, night clubs, theatres and cathedrals world-wide and sold half a million records. Their hauntingly beautiful music has captured the imagination and devotion of music lovers throughout the world as well as consistently reaching the top of the UK classical music charts. 'The Baebes' contribution to the BBC production of The Virgin Queen in 2007 earned an Ivor Novello Award for Best Television Soundtrack.

First aired on Babel (06/08/12)
Punctuation can help clarify what we mean and even emphasize certain points. But with the proliferation of smart phones, tablets and Twitter, many of us are tapping out shorter messages faster, often tossing punctuation aside. Or, to make sure our message is noticed, we use punctuation excessively, using five exclamation points instead of one!!!!!
Digital technology is rapidly changing the way we use punctuation. But this isn't the first time it's happened. It also occurred in the 15th century, with the invention of the printing press. Henry Hitchings is the author of several books about the English language, and he has followed the evolution of punctuation for several years. His latest book is The Language Wars: A History of Proper English, and he stopped by Babel to discuss punctuation usage in the past -- and what we can expect heading into the future.
Punctuation is a relatively new English tool. "There was a time when there was no punctuation in English," Hitchings told Babel host Mariel Borelli. "One had to rely on a sense of context and past experience to decipher what was there on the page." Punctuation didn't enter common use until the 11th and 12th centuries and even then, the periods and commas were designed to aid public speakers, not standardize the text itself. "Texts were meant to be performed out loud and the punctuation was there as a kind of aid to that," he said. "It is like sort of a musical score."
That all changed in the 15th century, with the advent of the printing press. At the time, English had 30 or so occasionally used pieces of punctuation. The printing press trimmed that down to approximately 15. This was done "in the interests of practicality and economy," Hitchings said. Punctuation also developed two standard purposes, the first being to "to clarify syntax, to clarify meaning" and the second being to pose rhetorical points.
These practices are largely still in use today, but increasingly digital communication is changing everything. "We live in an age which is obsessed with the speed of communication, the immediacy of communication," Hitchings said. We're communicating so much that punctuation has become less important. It's the emotion or intent behind the communication that matters. "There's been a move towards punctuating a bit less and a bit more in step with the rhythms of speech. I think there's an increased feeling that punctuation is largely superfluous."
One piece of punctuation to suffer in the digital age is the apostrophe. "It's always been quite an unstable punctuation mark," Hitchings said, adding that it's never been as popular or as standardized as we might think. The apostrophe has been around for only 400 years. But it's not popular with brands or in graphic design and many people don't think twice about using "your" for "you're" when texting or emailing. "One sees apostrophes being abused more and more, to the extent where I think I see incorrectly used apostrophes more than I see correctly used apostrophes," Hitchings said, and that's why he believes it's at risk.
Other pieces of punctuation are experiencing a revival because of the digital age, such at the @ symbol. It was "quite an arcane piece of punctuation" until email was invented. It gained popularity and is being used as a communication tool on Facebook and Twitter and "it's become absolutely central" to contemporary communication. Hitching thinks the @ symbol isn't alone in having a comeback. We just need to see where technology takes us, and be open to new tools to help us communicate.
"We're going to see certain punctuation marks disappearing from use and we're going to see other punctuation marks coming in because they seem like funky new innovations."

Sex and Violence in Hollywood will take its place on the shelf next to other Garton classics like Live Girls and The New Neighbor. This blockbuster is a chilling combination of thrills, terror, and black humor, plot reversals and a climax so shocking that it will leave you shaken. Adam Julian, son of a Hollywood screenwriter, has a life many would kill for... and some would kill to keep. He's tangled in a web of forced sex, coerced into robbery, and it's only a short step to killing as a choice. At the center of the book is a sensational murder trial which oddly resembles the O.J. Simpson case. The cast features an abrasive, star-struck female judge, blundering prosecuting attorneys, a nerdy defendant who reserves his right to silence, and Rona Horowitz, a pint-sized, ball-of-fire of a defense lawyer. The defendant may be guilty, but energetic Rona tries one outrageous legal stunt after another in order to exonerate her client. Drenched in the glamour, and the sleaze, of high line and lowlife Hollywood, this satirical and entertaining look at the criminal justice system, turned inside out and upside down by showbiz at its best and worst, is a panorama of crime, corruption, and violence delivered with grim authenticity and hilarious awfulness.

"miscast reader"
would have worked better as a short story
Whatever takes my fancy, S/F, crime, history............
a slightly younger voice would have suited the story better
The best friend's gay parents were irrelevant
I bought this thinking it would be a murder mystery, most of it was like a badly written teenage angst rant going nowhere. Most of the story is over long and the end is very predictable.
"Terrible reading"
Seth Michael Donsky makes it impossible for me to get into the story. All his characters jumbles together in the same strained, over-emoted whining. I forced myself through 30 minutes or so but had to give up this one.
I could only get through about 20 minutes. The title of the book says it all. No plot. No character development. Only cliched sex scenes.
I have tried returning it three times to no avail.

Summer may be limping to a close, but there is no reason why your skin shouldn't look sun-kissed well into autumn. Not too surprisingly, given the paleness of most English skin, and not to mention the paleness of most English summers, the product that flies off the shelves during the summer months is bronzer.
For years I assumed bronzer had nothing to do with me, after all, most of it was thinly disguised fake tan. But many of the bronzers on the market today are for enhancing skin colour, not covering it up. Obviously, bronzer doesn't need be used in the same way as on white skin - a touch of a well chosen bronzer on dark skin really can highlight the beautiful shades already present. And if you've got it, why not flaunt it?
Speak to any make-up artist and they'll tell you that, contrary to popular belief, those with black skin actually benefit more from bronzer than their paler sisters. "The more melanin you have in your skin, the more light is blocked," explains Nicole Guarnieri, national training manager at Shiseido. "That's why black skin so often looks dull. A bronzer that brings out the luminosity of the skin, as opposed to one that just makes the skin darker, is perfect."
A luminising bronzer will bring out red tones in black skin, leaving you looking sun-kissed and radiant. "Bronzer can also detract from any unevenness of tone," says Guarnieri, a problem for many black women. If you go for a bronzer with two tones, one darker than the other, such as the Luminizing Colour Powder from Shiseido (L4) or the Brush On Bronze pearls from The Body Shop, the lighter tone doubles as a highlighter for either under the eye or on top of the cheekbone. Bronzer is always good for highlighting the cheekbone, but where else you apply it depends on your face shape. If you've got a broad nose, you can shade the sides to give an angular effect. Or if used softly under the jaw line, it can disguise heaviness there. Who needs sunshine?

Born with a sense of wanderlust I am always excited about different travel opportunities, large and small. Ten years ago when I moved to Traverse City I never would have imagined a time when I would decline a road trip or feel excited to return home after a vacation. As a newbie to the area, I was familiar with the most popular tourist attractions and visiting them never got stale. On the flip side, my desire to explore more of Traverse City and Northwest Michigan continues to burn strong even during the summer, the busiest tourist season of the year! The most recent accolade from livability.com named Traverse City as a Top 10 Small Town and praised the city for "its stable economy, captivating natural attractions, lively community festivals, four seasons of recreational activities" and more. This award as well as others showcase the exciting nature of Traverse City and make me enthusiastic about exploring "TC" as a tourist in my own town. A few of my favorite activities include running in races along our many scenic courses, frequent trips the beach (Good Harbor is the best), and visiting the area's brewpubs. The Glen Arbor Solstice half marathon kicked off my summer adventures and it was an awesome way to begin the season. Being my first half, I was nervous about the course and the last two miles. All of that nervous energy was somehow magically transformed into fuel that my body used throughout the race. Even when I thought I was getting tired the incredible scenery pulled me through, especially at Inspiration Point and through the narrows in Glen Arbor. Would I do it again? The answer is a resounding yes, and if you are a runner you should too! This year's cooler temperatures were great for the race and continue to be perfect for running or hiking. I enjoy the refreshing breezes and appreciate the season for what it is and have not let it interfere with my summer agenda, especially when a beach day is needed! Whether it's mid 70's or high 80's there's always an ideal day to visit Good Harbor beach in Leelanau County. Even on the cloudy days there's a magical feeling when your toes hit the sand and the immense view of Lake Michigan emerges. Just be sure to pack a few layers as you never know what the weather will bring. Following many of these active adventures is usually a visit to one of our area's many brewpubs. A recent favorite is the Workshop Brewing Company. The beer is top notch, the food is great (the People's Grilled Cheese is amazing) and the casual atmosphere make it one of our preferred places to hang out with local friends and visitors alike. It's also family friendly with a kid's menu (that even has buttered noodles on it) and a variety of vintage arcade games to keep our little ones entertained. Every summer in Traverse City provides a new canvas for creating memories while enjoying these and many other activities. It's truly amazing to live and play in this evolving city that is rich with accolades. The wanderlust still tugs at my soul, but it is not hard to fulfill in this incredible area of Northwest Michigan! The best part about each adventure is that I am never too far from home... About the Author: Coryn Briggs is the new Digital Marketing & Design Specialist at Traverse City Tourism. A Detroit area native, she earned a bachelor's degree in English and a masters in Recreation and Tourism Management at Michigan State University. She has lived and worked in Traverse City since 2004 and enjoys baking, thrift shopping, running, visiting Traverse City's many brewpubs, beaches, and recreational trails. She is married to Jay Briggs, winemaker at 45 North Vineyard and Winery. They have two young daughters.

By David Bauder, AP Television Writer
NEW YORK Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly said Wednesday his critics took remarks he made about a famed Harlem restaurant out of context and "fabricated a racial controversy where none exists."
He criticized the liberal group Media Matters for America as "smear merchants" for publicizing statements he made on his radio show last week.
O'Reilly told his radio audience that he dined with civil rights activist Al Sharpton at Sylvia's recently and "couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference" between the black-run restaurant and others in New York City.
It was just like a suburban Italian restaurant, he said. "There wasn't any kind of craziness at all," he said.
O'Reilly told The Associated Press that Media Matters had "cherry-picked" remarks out of a broader conversation about racial attitudes. He had told listeners that his grandmother -- and many other white Americans -- feared blacks because they didn't know any and were swayed by violent images in black culture.
"If you listened to the full hour, it was a criticism of racism on the part of white Americans who are ignorant of the fact that there is no difference between white and black anymore," he told the AP. "Circumstances may be different in their lives but we're all Americans. Anyone who would be offended by that conversation would have to be looking to be offended."
His radio show was a conversation with Fox News contributor Juan Williams, author of a book about the coarseness of some black culture. Williams defended O'Reilly during a Tuesday appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor."
"It's so frustrating," Williams said. "They want to shut you up. They want to shut up anybody who has an honest discussion about race."
Sharpton, appearing on O'Reilly's TV program Wednesday, acknowledged that he found accounts of what O'Reilly said "disturbing and surprising," but added that he had not heard the radio broadcast.
"You and I have gone to dinner before in Harlem, and I've never heard you say anything offensive," said Sharpton, speaking from Baton Rouge, La. "I'm going to listen to the tape and I'm going to give a judgment."
The controversy was similar to one that enveloped presidential candidate Joe Biden last winter. When Biden praised rival Barack Obama as "articulate" and "clean," many saw this as a way of conveying those were unusual characteristics for blacks.
Sylvia's manager Trenness Woods-Black told the New York Daily News that O'Reilly's remarks were "insulting" and showed he has little knowledge of the black community.
At one point on the radio show, Williams mentioned that too many people see little else in black culture beyond profane rap. "That's right," O'Reilly said. "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M.F.-er, I want more iced tea.'"
Karl Frisch, spokesman for Media Matters, said it is typical for O'Reilly to criticize his group for merely reporting what he says.
"We didn't call him a racist," Frisch said. "We said his comments were ignorant and racially charged, and we stand by that."
O'Reilly said that the Williams conversation was carried on more than 400 radio stations and that there wasn't one complaint from a listener.
"This isn't about a racially insensitive remark," he said. "Anybody can listen to the unedited version of the conversation on Billoreilly.com. You want to think I'm insensitive to race, you go right ahead."
The real story, he said, was about the "corrupt media culture" in which outlets like CNN and MSNBC do stories about his remarks "because they're getting killed in the ratings."
"The O'Reilly Factor" is seen by more people -- 2.2 million average this year -- than its direct competitors on MSNBC and CNN combined. MSNBC's "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann averages 721,000 viewers in the time slot while CNN's 8 p.m. show averages 611,000, according to Nielsen Media Research.
