Lilo & Stitch (Disney's Wonderful World of Reading) (2002)
by Walt Disney
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a very confusing adaptation of Walt Disney's 42nd animated feature Lilo & Stitch.
There is another book by Ladybird that was released in the same year which works far better. However, the Wonderful World of Reading version produced by Scolastics Inc. has a rather rushed feel thought. The characters are poorly introduced and the story is left with a disjointed feel as a result.
If your child remembers watching the movie they may well be able to rationalise by filling in the gaps themselves, but for a nicer adaptation of the story, I'd recommend Disney's Lilo & Stitch book of the film by Ladybird over this one.
Other than that, it does include several good illustrations of David (Nani's boyfriend) who although mentioned as part of the story is visually absent from the Ladybird version of the story for some strange reason.

Haz clic aquí para leer la historia sobre Robert Ballard en español
As we face the future, scientific research and discovery are helping to bridge the gaps between people, and education is our path to peace. The students of today are the key to the discoveries of tomorrow. They need greater access to tools of modern technology, such as the Internet, which can be their window to the world. As we enter the 21st century, educators need to encourage students to follow their dreams and uncover the places we have yet to explore. My dream for the future is that students everywhere will have access to these tools, so they can achieve their goals and make the world a better place to live in.
--Dr. Robert Ballard
In 1985, Dr. Robert Ballard and his colleagues designed a submarine that would allow them to descend to the depths of 3800 meters to find the most famous wreck of the twentieth century -- the bow of the legendary R.M.S. Titanic.
Discovering the sunken ship brought Ballard a lot of attention, especially from schoolkids who asked to accompany him on his expeditions.
Dr. Robert Ballard is more than an explorer; he is the visionary behind the JASON Project, a Web-based science course used by teachers around the country for kids in grades four through nine. There is also a program available to homeschoolers, as well as opportunities for kids to participate in actual explorations as "Argonauts."
Ballard has also worked as a Senior Scientist in the Department of Applied Physics and Engineering at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and as the President of the Institute for Exploration at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut. He has published many books, including Explorations, an autobiography, Graveyards of the Pacific: From Pearl Harbor to Bikini Island, The Eternal Darkness, and The Discovery of the Titanic.
In February 2002, Ballard travelled to the Weddell Sea off Antarctica to search for Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, which sank in 1915. He and his crew had to break through a 21-foot ice canopy, then descend 9,000 feet into the water.
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Dr. Ballard stated that future projects he dreams about include finding Kublai Khan's invasion fleet, which was sunk northwest of Japan in a typhoon in 1281. He would also like to visit the Andes Mountains in Peru to search for the treasure that the Incas are supposed to have hidden beneath a lake to protect it from invading Spaniards.
Robert Ballard's childhood role model was Captain Nemo, the protagonist of Jules Verne's novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. For Ballard, Captain Nemo was not only an oceanographer, he was a leader, a risk taker and a visionary.
In an interview with the online journal, Homeschool.com, Ballard explains how having this hero steered the course of his life:"When I was about ten years old, my favorite book was, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. My hero as a little boy was Captain Nemo. I wanted to be an undersea explorer. Fortunately, when I told my parents, they didn't laugh at me. They actually encouraged me to live my dream. My parents told me, 'maybe you need to become an oceanographer if you want to become a Captain Nemo.' So I became an oceanographer. Then my parents said, 'Maybe you need to become a naval officer,' and I did. I used this as my guiding principle; it allowed me to go on and live my dream. I believe all of us have dreams; all of us should try to live our dreams."
Ballard's other heroes include several famous explorers: Captain James Cook, Charles Darwin, and Lewis and Clark. As he told the Los Angeles Times, "I've spent most of my life on pieces of the Earth where I was the first human being to be there, and I want to share that."

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
amc - agreed!
Guess I need to clarify my reasoning here.
Note the last comment in my FIRST response, assuming that the 2000 Focus was on it's original rear brakes, and had a dozen years & quite a few miles on it - When one rear bearing needs replacement you probably will end up doing a rear brake job.
Now with that bearing pressed into the drum instead of having a separate hub, the easiest full brake job includes new drums with bearings. If someone was planning to keep the car, they probably wouldn't have to worry about any brake or bearing issues in the rear again.
Low Budget Quick Fix - try to get the drum off on the bad bearing side without much damage to the brakes, have a new bearing pressed in & reassemble. Probably could get away with that for now, depending on Luck, Skill, and how much actual wear on the car.
If it wasn't for the pressed in bearing design, replacing more than the bad one wouldn't be recommended - Unless a shop wanted to make money, or the car owner wanted a "belt & suspenders" job, just CHECKING the other would be adequate...
As amc commented, each new part CAN be a crap shoot these days....
Really. Not my experience at all. What I've seen, one goes bad, the other could last for years after. Of course that's normal sedate use, if you slip clutch and burnout everywhere, I'd lean heavily to changing both. I've never seen one simply give up instantly to strand you either, even the worst one I've seen (bad from the getgo after replacement) gave 2 months of growling before I fixed it. It started growling the next day after I installed it, no grease in bearing when taken apart. My view is, with present capabilities of manufacturers and mechanics taken into account, that you could be asking for a short lived one every time you change it. The quality of some bearings really sucks now and skills to put them in without wrecking part don't seem to be much better in many cases either. Look onsite here for all the DIYers who mess them up. Usually from simply not tightening them enough at the big nut.
I've got 3 cars right now that one corner has been done but not the other, they do just fine, last bearing change was a year ago on the most recent one. Next one like 3 years ago.
And all car owners want to know "how long can I drive it 'till it breaks completely"
Honest answer - "No Idea"
I've had ONE car that "ate" wheel bearings (and I think what were "stretched & poked" wheels & tires for the time had something to do with that).
Got so used to it when the first ones lasted hundreds of miles after getting noisy I wasn't concerned when one got noisy again....
Of COURSE that was the one time the bearing grenaded (close to home at least) and it had to be towed.
I honestly see an example by the roadside every week or two where the wheel "fell off", usually not completely, but enough to come to a screeching halt. More ball joints than wheel bearings from the evidence, but I always wonder why the people kept driving until it gave up completely.
Nothing to gain financially from recommendations here (obviously), just have a personal preference for fixing anything you KNOW is broken when possible. There's ALWAYS plenty that COULD go wrong you can't forsee, but with regular maint. & repair of KNOWN issues you seldom have major problems on the road....
(Some folks have better luck with Murphy's law than others...)
You take your chances.
On my Contour SVT.. The front started going bad at 48,000 mi I drove it a year plus before replacing them. That was over 6,000 miles. Then again at 102,000 mi they started to get noisy.
So I drove it for 6,000mi more, then sold it and the new owners have never replaced them either.. So now it is 10,000 miles on noisy front wheel bearings.. On a 200hp FWD car.
This is two years of loud grinding from both fronts. (it was really getting annoying to me with all the noise when i sold it..)
Your mileage may vary.
And ALL mechanics use the 'it will break and leave you stranded" quip.
Naturally they want to make money.
Of anything on a car.. wheel bearings are not gonna strand you.If they start really screeching loudly. THEN worry. just rumbling.. not a problem.
Like the Check engine light. On my Contour SVT I swear the light was on a total of eight full years I owned the car! Out of 13 years bought new until sold it.
One year I got it to go off long enough to just drive to the alternate year inspection, pass, and drive a block and it was back on. I whooped and hollered at that one it was so funny!
Naturally you have to decide what is best for you.
If you like to worry a lot, then get them all fixed. If you are laid back and can accept chance, the just let them ride.
Not gonna make a difference except to your bank account.
If you plan on keeping the car ten more years too. If not.??
Of course when it breaks.......
Depends on your experience I guess, seen some last a long time & less noisy ones give out suddenly.
Local use, AAA on call...
After needing a tow once years ago, when I needed to pay a Garage for the repair as well, I gave up estimating the life of a known damaged part....
The cost of doing both vs one at a time is not going to save you any money. the other wheel bearing may last another five years!!
I would do only the one going bad now.
IF you need brakes and all that, then doing them together might save money.
If you do not need a full brake replacement, then I would only do the one.
Why fix what is not broken?
And if noise does not bother you, you can go YEARS without fixing a bearing on a wheel.
(I drove my Contour SVt for over a year with bad fronts. and i sold it and the local person who bought it a year ago still drives it with both front bearings rumbling.I didn't care. they don't care.
Not a problem.)
A wheel bearing is way different that an engine bearing.
It can make a LOT of noise, and long as it turns and does not get super hot while driving.. it is good enough!!! save your $$$
Added: and it is not going to cut into your mpgs any either...
Optimum repair would be to do both, purchasing new drums with the bearings already pressed in & doing a COMPLETE brake job in the rear at the same time - then you won't likely need to touch the rear again...
Minimum would be to cross fingers that you'll be VERY lucky & get the offending side apart without needing to do any brake work, and have a new bearing pressed into that drum.
Since the rear is prob. orig. to the car, it's time to do it all.... You really can't PLAN on getting away with less. Those that manage to just have more work to do later, and usually B4 the next inspection because the parking brake isn't working....
Rear Wheel Bearing: Replace Bad One or Both?
I have a bad rear bearing on my 2000 Ford Focus SE. Should I just replace the bad bearing or should I replace both?
Thank you.

School May Install 'Trash-Cams' To Spy on Kids Tossing Veggies
A Florida school district is considering a plan to install surveillance cameras on cafeteria trash cans to monitor what kids are throwing away – after they discovered that students were tossing out their federally-mandated fruit and vegetables.
The Lake County School Board said more than $75,000 worth of vegetables have been thrown in the garbage. The veggies and fresh fruit are party of the Obama administration's policy to force schools to provide healthy produce in lunch rooms.
"It's fairly specific recipe of what they would like us to serve," Lake County School Board member Tod Howard told Fox News. "Unfortunately, much of it has to do with fresh fruit and vegetables and it seems to be going into the trash. And that's not okay."
So Howard suggested the district attach security cameras to the trash cans to monitor exactly what is being thrown away.
"It will also give us documentation so that we can go back to the federal government and say here's what we are finding," he said. "We do know there's an issue."
School districts across the nation are furious with the Obama administration's orders. Some students have staged strikes while others have launched petition drives urging the federal government to change their policy.
But Lake County is believed to be the first to actually videotape kids tossing their veggies – and that has some parents upset.
"So we're going to spend how many more thousands of dollars to put cameras on trash cans to document the thousands of dollars in food the kids are throwing away," one parent wrote on ClickOrlando.com "This is a no brainer, kids are not going to eat the stuff served at school. Has anyone really looked at these lunch trays?"
"Why not just remove the kids from their parent's home at 3 – 5 years-old and put them in mass dormitories where their entire lives can be monitored and properly controlled so that they become properly modeled citizens and serve as they are needed by our enlightened leaders," another reader wrote.
A number of parents were concerned that their children might be videotaped.
"Because no matter what they say, they are going to try to identify the kids throwing the food away and then social workers and courts will get involved," wrote one local resident. "If your child doesn't eat his school lunch, you will face punishment. Think I'm wrong? There are cities and states that punish the adults if the children are truant or get in trouble with the law in any manner. Your kid threw away a carrot? Go to jail. This is what we are coming to."
Howard called those concerns "conspiracy theories" and said they were not going to force kids to eat their vegetables.
"I don't want anybody to be on camera at all," he told Fox News. "This would be aimed directly into the trash can. By no means would any of our students be in the picture."
He said the cameras were meant to give the school district evidence they need to push back against the federal guidelines.
"If we just can't get kids to eat broccoli and 90 percent of it is going in the trash – that's a waste of taxpayer dollars – and the federal government needs to look at their mandate," he said. "We have no choice in the matter. This is just a tool to help us document he issue."
No decisions have been made on the cameras – yet.

2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe
The incorrigible 4C is late, loudmouthed, and lovable.
Scalable Exotic
So the performance numbers pretty well back up the 4C's miniature-exotic looks. And so does the 4C's comportment on the road. Like a proper old-school exotic, the 4C is something of a chore to get into and out of because of its high and wide side sills. And you won't find much room inside once ensconced. But the car's 93.7-inch wheelbase means no one will be surprised, or likely disappointed, at the tight cabin. Still, the snug environs made this writer feel even more than usual like the big, doughy descendent of Northern Europeans. It's the automotive equivalent of one of those tiny suits fashionable Italians wear. If you're tall, the top of the D-shaped steering wheel will likely block your view of the digital gear readout, speedometer, and tachometer. And predictably, rearward visibility is atrocious.
None of that detracts from what the 4C is; rather, it amplifies it. No truer words have ever been uttered by a carmaker rep than when Alfa's U.S. product planner, Michael Berube said, "It is what it is." And that is a fantastical distillation of what Alfa should stand for: uncompromised stylishness and performance. And if you have to make some sacrifices to get it, then so be it. The stylishness of the 4C is self-evident. It garners adoring attention everywhere it goes.
And it is a quick and nimble thing, as promised. On boost, the little four-cylinder, which makes 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, positively blasts the car out of corners, reminding us that the ideal is not power per se, but an advantageous power-to-weight ratio. The manual steering is spectacular, reminding us of what's been lost in the transition to not just electric-boosted steering, but boosted steering of any sort. It's a busy helm, getting yanked back and forth by troughs and undulations in the road, but it's pinpoint accurate and rich with feeling in a way many young enthusiasts won't have a precedent to understand. They are poorer for the lack of reference. The brake pedal—oh, the brake pedal! A bottom-hinged pedal with the tiniest possible amount of travel, it's firm underfoot and perfectly linear in operation. The chassis is outstanding, as well. It's neutral on the skidpad and on the road, and it allows you to ease the tail out and tuck it back in with uncommon confidence. It flatters its driver.
It Sounds Four-ocious
As you have no doubt realized, a 4C without a muffler is a loud thing. It sounds ferocious from the outside, or as ferocious as a four-cylinder can sound. It's just as loud inside the cabin and that's okay, too. You will regret any long trips in the car, though. At 75 mph, the engine turns only 2500 rpm, but the four never quiets down. In fact, there are all sorts of noises emanating from just behind your ears. There's the varying pitch of the engine snarl, of course. But the turbo and waste gate add their own accompaniment of huffs, chuffs, and whistles. Full-throttle gearchanges elicit a loud clearing of the engine's throat. It's all very stimulating, but it doesn't make the beguiling sounds you imagine of a truly exotic car.
The combination of the dual-clutch gearbox and the turbo engine also present some distinct disconnects between car and driver. If the steering and brakes are models of linearity, then the powertrain is quite the opposite. The engine makes good torque, but the boost comes on hard in a surprising surge after you've exited a corner. If you leave the transmission in automatic mode, you have shift delays adding to the nonlinearity of the proceedings. It all feels very busy, cacophonous, and unpredictable. This is in stark contrast to the predictability and deliciously hard-core attributes that otherwise make the 4C such a fine sports-car toy. The experience made us misty for the conventional manual transmission and naturally aspirated engine of the departed Lotus Exige, the only car with a no-compromises approach similar to the 4C's.
Rudeness does not typically bother us. In fact, we wish that more cars were as unapologetically rude as the 4C. And we don't mind that on lumpy pavement, the 4C becomes a tiny boat in rough waters, being pushed around and following the topography. It's a reminder that when the road flattens and turns (or when we arrive at the entrance to a road course), the 4C is equipped to deliver an unfiltered experience. It is, after all, what it is.
And we're happy it's finally here. Almost.

Comparison study of total gossypol and the ratio of its optical isomers in some Uzbek cotton varieties. Eighth International Symposium on the Chemistry of Natural Compounds, June 15-17, 2009, Eskisehir, Turkey. p55. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Cottonseed cake (CSC) can be added to animal feed as a protein source. Uzbekistan produces up to 2.0 million tons of cottonseed annually and approximately 10% of it is used as planting seed for The Republic; the remainder is used for production of CSC and oil. However, these products contain gossypol, a highly-toxic polyphenolic aldehyde. Therefore, CSC is limited to only 5% in animal diets. Gossypol in cottonseed exists in two optically active isomers (enantiomers) called (+)- and (-)-gossypol. Significantly, only (-) gossypol is highly toxic to animals. Parental cotton varieties with a high percentage of (+)-gossypol in the seed provides a new approach to develop new local cultivars of cotton with content of (+)-gossypol above 95%, that may provide cottonseed that may be used in non-ruminant animal feeds. Recently new cotton lines that have a high level of (+)-gossypol in the seed have been derived from "Moco" cottons by U.S. scientists. For the first time in Uzbekistan we have investigated some local commercial and new varieties to determine the total and the percent (+)- to (-)-gossypol in seed. Total gossypol and the ratio of (+)- to (-)-gossypol was determined using HPLC employing a C18-column. For determination of the enantiomer ratio, the seeds were reacted with d-alaninol to provide a diastereomeric mixture of Schiff bases that could be separated by reverse phase chromatography. Thus, we established that the local varieties C-6524, C-6530, and C-6532 have the highest (+)- to (-)-gossypol ratio (>3:2) and lowest total (<2%) gossypol. These accessions will be used to develop new hybrids exhibiting the high (+)-gossypol seed trait. Crosses with some of these varieties and U.S. accessions have been made. Investigations on these hybrids are in progress.

Reviews for Pesto Grilled Salmon
"Put it on a wood plank. Best salmon ever."
"The MOST AMAZING flavour!! My kids were raving about it and they asked me to share this recipe with everyone we know so if we are invited out, they'll make it for us at their house! No leftovers and I made a large fillet for our family of five. Next time I'd like to try two fillets just so I get leftovers to try the pasta recipe. Only changes I made were that I didn't have fresh green onion or garlic so I added those spices to the pesto also with some lemon dill spice, and bit more lemon juice to make a nice paste and placed sliced lemon on the salmon while grilling right after adding the pesto mixture. A quick and easy meal for a quick weeknight dinner, but delicious enough to serve when company comes!"
"Wonderful salmon recipe. Definite keeper."
"We grilled it in foil so it wouldn't stick. Came out beautifully."
"Just delicious. I have made it with salmon and other types of fish. I will make it again and again!"

This is the latest edition of Give-and-Go, a periodic Hornets.com feature with Hornets players. In this installment, New Orleans power forward Carl Landry directly answers Twitter questions sent to www.twitter.com/Jim_Eichenhofer. We caught up with the two-year member of the Hornets at his youth basketball camp in Mandeville. The 28-year-old will officially become a free agent on July 1 (Landry season review article).
Before we get into the series of fan questions, how have you been spending your summer prior to this week?
Landry: Its been busy. I went to China for two weeks with (the program) NBA Nation. I just came back from Dallas three days ago, helping one of my former teammates in Houston, Mike Harris, with his basketball camp for a couple days. Before that, I took a little time to recuperate from the season and make sure my body was intact for workouts in the summer. Its been a little bit of everything. The NBA Nations thing was basically teaching Chinese kids how to play basketball and the fundamentals of basketball.
What made you decide to host a basketball camp in the New Orleans area this year?
Landry: I just thought it was something that was definitely needed. A lot of times basketball camps are put on, but there isnt an NBA player interactive and involved with the kids. I felt like I could be that person who could get out there and work with the kids one-on-one, to help them develop into better basketball players. Not only that, but help them develop as people.
Its a ball. Seeing them improve every day brings a smile to my face. Some of these kids come in, and they cant make right-hand layups, or cant dribble with their left hand, but by the end of the camp, you see a tremendous improvement. That definitely is fun to watch.
What was your reaction to yesterdays trade with the Wizards, in which the Hornets acquired Rashard Lewis and the No. 46 pick for Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza?
Landry: Its tough to see friends go. Obviously theyre my friends first. I wish them the best, and understand that this is a business. Sometimes moves have to be made. But they were a big part of this team, did a great job of helping us get to the playoffs two years ago and taking the Lakers to six games. Trevor Ariza is a class act, a professional, as is Emeka Okafor. Its definitely tough.
Whats your perspective on how important contract details have become in the league? It seems like that can be a much bigger part of the discussion than the actual ability of players.
Landry: Yeah, its become like a numbers game. Thats how it is sometimes. Sometimes teams try to trade players to cut salaries so they can pick up other players and make moves. At the end of the day, theyre trying to do whats best for the organization and the ballclub. Hopefully it helps you win games.
OK, on to some Twitter questions from fans. From @qi_26: Do you still want to be a Hornet?
Landry: Definitely. Ive played here for the last two years. I love the city, the food, the weather, the people, the coaching staff. They are heading in the right direction and the team is going to be here for 12 more years (due to the teams lease extension). Weve got an owner who wants to win. So I definitely want to be here.
From @patrickclay10: If you re-sign, how would you fit into an already crowded power forward slot (Anthony Davis/Jason Smith/Gustavo Ayon)?
Landry: I would just go out there, work hard and earn my minutes. I feel like I can definitely be an impact player on any team. Ive been in situations before where there is a crowded lineup (at one position), but the coaches figure out a way to make it work, and put the best talent out there on the floor. They can make it work.
What are your initial impressions of Anthony Davis as a player?
Landry: Good player. Definitely the number one talent in this draft. Hes a big guy who can move his feet and is very mobile. Everybody knows he can block shots, but one thing I think he can do better than he gets credit for is that he can shoot the ball. He can shoot the 15- to 17-foot shot. Thats one thing thats going to help him if the Hornets do decide to draft him. That, along with a little bit of (added) weight and a low-post game
I definitely think he can be a dominant player in this league.
Any thoughts on the unibrow? Thumbs up or down?
Landry: [smiles] That (unibrow) is him! Thumbs up. Thats a big part of his identity.
From @twu42: Does that gunshot wound still have any effects now? (Editors Note: Landry was a random victim of a shooting in Houston after a game during the 2008-09 season. He was struck in the left leg but not seriously harmed)
Landry: No, it doesnt have any effect. I was back on the floor (after the incident) in two weeks. I probably couldve played the very next game, but since it was an open wound, they decided to keep me out for a couple days. (The bullet) didnt hit anything big, like a nerve or a bone, so I was OK.
You made your NBA debut in 2007 with the Houston Rockets at age 24. What do you think it wouldve been like for you to come into the league at 19 like Davis?
Landry: It wouldve been tough and a lot of pressure. Going to college for four years, it helped me a lot. Obviously I matured and I understood the game a lot better. Sometimes when a player comes into the league at 19 or 20, it takes them some time to get used to the pace of the game and understanding it. It definitely benefited me to go to college and come in at 24.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has announced his decision to retire from international cricket.
Ponting had already stepped away from the one-day format of the game but tomorrow's Third Test against South Africa in Perth will be his 168th and final appearance in the Baggy Green.
The 37-year-old has been out of sorts with the bat during the current series, managing just 20 runs which led to speculation about his future.
Ponting made his international debut back in 1995 but ended his one-day international ambitions in February of this year.
He has amassed 13,366 runs at an average of 52.21 and scored 41 centuries and 62 half-centuries.
Announcing his retirement, Ponting (above) said: "I haven't been performing consistently over the past 12 to 18 months. I believe now is the right time [to go]. This is a decision not made by the selectors, it was made by me.
"I've said all along that I would continue to play as long as I could continue to make a contribution to wins and I think over the last couple of weeks my performance has not been good enough to do that. I've given cricket my all, it's been my life for 20 years, there's not much more I can give."
England's players praised Ponting following the announcement. Kevin Pietersen tweeted: "Ricky Ponting retires . . . one of the greats! I always got excited playing AUS, so I could watch him bat up close."
Matt Prior wrote: "Congrats to Ricky Ponting on an amazing career. One of, if not the best batsman I've ever played against and fierce opponent!"
As captain, Ponting amassed 48 Test wins — an Australian record — and in the one-day format led his country to two World Cup titles. The only blemish on his career was that he was the first Australian captain to oversee three Ashes series defeats.
Current Test captain Michael Clarke led the Aussie tributes to his former skipper.
"The boys are hurting at the moment," said Clarke. "He's been an amazing player for a long time."
Shane Warne, meanwhile, added on Twitter: "Congrats to Ricky Ponting on an amazing career, well done Punter. Enjoy your last match in Perth buddy, was a pleasure playing with you."

So, by now you must have all heard of the ongoing saga of Fireman Sam, right? No, he's not my squeeze. If you squeeze him, he'll blow up….
It started a few months ago, when Molly of Molly's Daily Kiss won the Halloween contest on Erotic Meet. Her prize? A blow-up fireman love doll with a twelve inch…. hose. Molly, ever the sport, took him out on a date that turned out to be a bit of a dud. So, she decided to send him off on a world trip. First stop was Ms Blacksilk, who treated him to a date with a very menacing-looking Wartenberg pinwheel. And second in line?
Yes. Quite.
I got custody of him at the last Meet I attended. Things got off to a smashing start when I momentarily lost sight of him. Then, I dragged him down Shaftesbury Avenue, trying to find a willing taxi and/or rickshaw to bring us home. The next month was mainly spent staring at him, trying to hide him from visitors and generally being a bit embarrassed about the size of his… hose.
Then, my camera got stolen. Bugger. But never fear. For I have a second camera! And it managed to capture some… choice moments in the daily life at Boyd Mansion.
It turns out that Fireman Sam is quite a dab hand at the daily domesticities. Observe.

James Bond rules worldwide box office
By Dean Goodman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The latest James Bond thriller dominated the box office in much of the world during the weekend, boosted by a record opening in North America, distributor Columbia Pictures said on Sunday.
"Quantum of Solace" sold $70.4 million worth of tickets in its first three days of release across the United States and Canada. Industry pundits had forecast an opening in the $60 million range.
The record for a Bond opening in North America was held by "Die Another Day," which earned $47.1 million during its first weekend in November 2002. That film was the last one starring Pierce Brosnan.
"Quantum of Solace" and its 2006 predecessor "Casino Royale," which opened to $40.8 million, starred Daniel Craig. The laconic English actor has invested the famed agent with a darker, more complicated personality.
The new film also earned $56.1 million in 73 countries during the weekend. Having begun its international run two weeks ago, the foreign total now stands at $251.6 million. With a worldwide haul of $322 million, the film is fast approaching the $594 million tally of "Casino Royale."
Britain was the top foreign market with sales to date of $64.1 million, while Germany and France have each kicked in about $26 million. "Quantum" has already earned more in France than "Casino Royale" did during its entire run there, Columbia said.
The $200 million film was directed by Swiss-German filmmaker Marc Forster, who made his name with smaller pieces such as the Oscar-winning domestic-abuse saga "Monster's Ball" and the James Barrie melodrama "Neverland." Continued...

As a rule of thumb, I avoid hyped, trendy, uber tactical ammo. Ranger T, Golden Sabers or Gold Dots for me.
I'd wondered about those rounds ever since I saw the ad that claiming one 9mm round brought down a Russian Boar. Uh huh ...
Seeing the Fang Face fold in on istelf in the first two shots didn't overly impress me either.
$1.83/round? I don't think so. I'm sticking with SXT's and will keep Rule #4 in mind as much as possible.
Thanks for the report.

Sadly, looks like their ammo is not worth the $1.85 per round.

I thought their packaging looked squirrely anyway

As with what was all ready posted i don't buy the hype and only thing i would pay over a buck a round to shoot is going to be a BIG BOOM
Heck, I'm too cheap to buy the new bonded Golden Saber. Around here it's $20 for 20 or $25 rounds.
I'm sticking with EFMJ and Black Hills.
Josh <><
Just put a post-it note on the box of whatever ammo you're using and write whatever you want on that -- like "UltraSuper" or "Expands to 6 inch diameter, tested on Elephants" --
Good way to save money..... I'm with you guys, the more some ammo is advertised as being THE stuff, the less I want to play.

NetSketch - Collaborative Drawing for the iPhone and iPod Touch
There are a lot of iPod Touch and iPhone apps now. And, of course, there are inevitably a good number of drawing apps. My favorite so far is NetSketch, not necessarily for its ability to share the sketches you make with others, but for its color and brush choice (though I honestly wish I had a lot more brush choices), and for its zoomability, and because it saves everything not as raster images, but as curves. And you can convert your finished drawings to eps files for messing with in Illustrator (or some other eps-able software). Neato. Though I'm still holding my breath for something just a tad more painterly, this one is doing right by me for the time being.
This remote add on for the iPhone is perfection. If you have your phone on you most the time, why not use it as a remote as well?Tags: remote controls, iPhone, Universal Remote Control, itouch, iphone app, iPod touch, iphone remote controlAdded 7 Years Ago from Newkinetix

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
About LOA:
Little Orphan Angels Animal Rescue (LOA) is a 501c(3), non-profit, humane animal organization dedicated to the rescue and adoption of companion cats and dogs, which are needlessly euthanized because they are homeless. LOA has existed for over a decade.
LOA promotes responsible pet guardianship by requiring all adopted animals to be tested and vaccinated for diseases, examined by qualified veterinarians and spayed or neutered at the appropriate age.
LOA screens potential adoption applicants to ensure that the adoption of an animal has the highest possible chance for a successful, lifelong placement.
LOA is also dedicated to educating the public about the plight of homeless animals and the need to control over-population through spay and neutering.
Petsense Address:
5615 Rufe Snow Dr.
North Richland Hills, Texas 76180
1. Connect with a cat during our adoption events at Petsmart.
2. Work with the LOA adoption coordinator to determine if that cat is the right fit for your household. If not, another cat may be suggested.
3. Fill out an application. Only once you are approved, can you move forward in the process.
4. For two weeks, the cat comes to your house for a "sleep over" and you become their foster parent. This is to ensure the cat fits into your household.
5. If the cat does fit your household, then after two weeks LOA and you will finalize the adoption. If the cat is not a match, LOA will work with you to determine a cat that may work better for your household.
6. Once adopted, LOA is there with behavioral support and nail trims. You are not on your own.
LOA Adoption Fee: $150
All cats adopted from LOA receive the following vet care that is included in the adoption fee:
• Tested for FIV and FeLV (Feline Leukemia)
• Spay or Neuter at the appropriate age
• All required vaccinations and boosters at the appropriate time - Rabies, FVRCP, FeLV
• Tests for intestinal parasites (At least 4 rounds of de-wormer if needed)
• Microchip
• Free well pet exam at time of adoption
• Free consultations with cat behaviorist as needed
• Free nail trims
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

City Budget Progresses with Help from Teachers Union
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country, we bring you the unmissable quotes from the morning's political conversations on WNYC. Today on the Brian Lehrer Show, Bob Hennelly, WNYC senior reporter and Erin Einhorn, political reporter for the Daily News, talked about the latest with the New York City budget.
While Albany was hard at work late on Friday night passing the gay marriage bill, the New York City Council was busy concluding their budget negotiations. Mayor Bloomberg had his own announcement to make on Friday night; he'd reached an agreement with the teachers union to avoid the ever-controversial teacher layoffs and there will be no fire company closings either.
The union concedes
At the last minute, the teachers union agreed to end teacher sabbaticals for a year and they also made a shift in how teacher substitutes are used. Erin Einhorn of the Daily News explained.
Three's a bunch of teachers who have tenure so they're still on the payroll but they don't have permanent jobs and they've just been collecting their salaries and not being used fully, so now they're all going to be used as day to day substitutes which is going to save the city money from its substitute funds...They'll be used more effectively than they have been in the past. Before, some of them weren't being used completely and the city was hiring day to day subs. Now the city won't have to do that.
WNYC's Bob Hennelly said, according to UFT President Michael Mulgrew, there's also a secondary gain.
Maybe the likelihood increases that the teacher gets a permanent assignment because they get a chance to be out and about with another school environment.
The concessions don't make up all of what the city needed, Einhorn said, but it allowed them to make significant progress.
The art of negotiation
The UFT put up about $60 million in concessions during the city budget negotiations and Bob Hennelly was struck by the actual skill of the negotiators at the table.
I was very impressed with the cool approach of Education Chancellor Dennis Walcott and Mulgrew, what a labor leader in the sense of, on one hand he is bashing Bloomberg and keeping his base fired up while he is working with Walcott and Christine Quinn the speaker to find common ground.
Not all good news
Other deep cuts are still expected and there's a scary future to contend with, Hennelly said.
We really have a disastrous fiscal years in the out years, a $5 billion budget gap in 2013 and the reality that Albany and Washington are stepping away and are going to continue cutting their contributions to the city so even tougher choices lay ahead. We dodged the bullet this time.
2,600 teacher positions are still expected to be cut through attrition, as well as 1,000 non-teacher city layoffs. Hennelly said he expects the class-size issue will remain a problem but it won't be as bad as it could have been. Parks, health and housing will also still see cuts, said Erin Einhorn, and public libraries had some of their money restored by not entirely.
The bleakest cuts were averted, but there are some cuts and citizens will notice them, I think for sure.
This Thursday is the annual fiscal year deadline.

The present application claims priority under 35 USC �119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/631,429 filed Nov. 30, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to motor drive systems, and more particularly to a technique for design/control of a motor drive system including a DC-AC inverter and a synchronous motor.
2. Description of the Related Art
Large vehicles such as aircraft and ships include a multitude of electrical and mechanical systems that perform complex tasks and require large amounts of energy. Synchronous motor drive systems are suitable for large vehicles. Synchronous motor drives are energy conversion systems that can produce large amounts of energy at high power and high speed, as needed for complex equipment onboard large vehicles. Synchronous motor drive systems are especially efficient with the use of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems due to reduced resulting size and weight.
A typical motor drive system topology for advanced system environments such as "more electric" aircraft with "fly-by-wire" systems is a three phase voltage source DC-AC inverter-driven synchronous motor. The inverter could be installed remotely from the motor, which is integrated into a system such as a cabin air compressor. When the inverter is not in close proximity to the motor, an output AC differential LC filter is used to mitigate high voltage variations occurring on the motor end. Such high voltage variations correspond to high voltage-time derivatives and are caused by long cables connecting the motor to the inverter. The output AC differential LC filter reduces the stress on the motor and helps meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
A motor drive system usually needs to accommodate various input DC bus voltage ranges, which ultimately cause variations in the limits of the inverter output AC voltage range. A motor drive system also needs to accommodate various load conditions. The variability in inverter output AC voltage range and load conditions impacts motor drive system performance.
Commercial motor drive systems are generally designed for constant torque operation below the rated operation speed, and constant power operation above the rated operation speed. The rated operating point for the motor drive system is located at the rated speed, where maximum power is achieved. Hence, the inverter and the motor are optimized separately based on the rated operation point.
When high power from a motor drive system is required, the DC bus voltage applied to the motor drive system needs to be increased accordingly, to accommodate the increased back electromotive force resulting from the motor design. The motor current rating is limited by the motor design, which includes the design of motor winding. The winding included in a motor drive system can be large and heavy. Installing, reinstalling, or replacing the winding inside the motor is a difficult task. The DC bus voltage is used to compensate for motor design limitations. For example, medium and high voltage DC buses are designed for megawatts motor drive systems used in commercial applications.
However, in many applications such as the more electric aircraft, the DC bus voltage that can be used to drive high power motor drive systems is limited. In these applications, separate design optimization of motor and inverter typically results in over-designing of the inverter and the motor to accommodate the peak power/peak current requirements. An additional drawback of separate optimization of motor and inverter design is that the motor drive system design is not optimized for overall system efficiency/power density, especially when an output LC filter is installed between the inverter and the motor. Such a filter is often required in applications such as the more electric aircraft, etc.
A few publications have studied improved efficiency schemes for motor drive systems. One such technique is described in "Method and System for Improving Efficiency of Rotating, Synchronous, Electrical Machine Interacting with Power Converter", Roman Bida, US Patent Application 2002/0149336 A1. With the method described in this work, the efficiency of a motor drive is improved by introducing a spectrum of harmonic components in a power converter supplying energy to the motor. The harmonic components control the current of the power converter so that the current becomes identical in shape and phase to the back electromotive force (back EMF) of the motor. This concept, however, does not provide overall optimization of the motor drive system, as it optimizes only the motor section of the system.
Another technique is described in "Back EMF Controlled Permanent Magnet Motor", D. Fulton and W. Curtiss, U.S. Pat. No. 4,275,343. In this publication, however, only the back EMF control of the motor is optimized. Again, no overall optimization of the motor drive system for design and control of both inverter and motor is performed.
A disclosed embodiment of the application addresses these and other issues by utilizing a high power density/limited DC link voltage motor drive system, with design and control optimization achieved for the combination of inverter and motor system.
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and an apparatus for optimizing performance of a motor drive system. According to a first aspect of the present invention, a method of optimizing performance of a motor drive system comprises: selecting a property for a rated operation point; selecting inverter system characteristics and motor characteristics such that a motor drive system including an inverter system having the selected inverter system characteristics operatively connected to a motor having the selected motor characteristics will have a rated operation point exhibiting the property; providing an inverter system having the selected inverter system characteristics; operatively connecting a motor having the selected motor characteristics to the inverter system; and minimizing current of the motor drive system including the motor operatively connected to the inverter system in entire operating range of the motor drive system.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, a system comprises: a motor having motor characteristics; an inverter system having inverter system characteristics, wherein the motor characteristics and the inverter system characteristics are selected such that a motor drive system including the motor and the inverter system operatively connected to each other has a rated operation point with a predetermined property; and a controller operatively connected to the motor drive system, the controller minimizing current of the motor drive system in entire operating range of the motor drive system.
Further aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Aspects of the invention are more specifically set forth in the accompanying description with reference to the appended figures.
Electrical/mechanical system 100 may be associated with systems with electrical and mechanical components such as a cabin air compressor system, a heating system, a traction system, etc., in an aircraft, a ship, a train, a laboratory facility, etc. Power source block 40 provides electrical power to motor drive system 45. Power source block 40 handles wattage power that can be hundreds of kW, or MW, and voltages that can be hundreds to thousands of Volts. The output of power source block 40 may be a smoothed DC voltage. Power source block 40 may include transformers, rectifiers, thyristors, filters, and circuit breakers. Motor drive system 45 transforms electrical energy received from power source block 40 into mechanical energy. Motor drive system 45 may include electrical circuits and components, as well as magnetic components such as coils and permanent magnets. Energy output system 50 outputs the energy generated by motor drive system 45 to individual systems and equipment 55. Energy output system 50 may include shafts, gearboxes, wheels, transmission systems, electrical sensors, and electrical circuits. Individual systems and equipment 55 are systems that enable functioning of services onboard a vehicle, or in a lab. Individual systems and equipment 55 may include a cabin air compressor, an electric generator, a set of wheels, a traction system, a braking system, etc.
Minimizing the inverter 65 current and motor 75 current in the entire specified operating range of motor drive system 45 is the main criteria for the design and control optimization of the inverter/motor system design for high efficiency/power density. A combination of off-line design optimization (S124) and on-line control optimization (S134) is implemented to accomplish overall design/control optimization of motor drive system 45.
In the off-line design optimization step S124, unity power factor is achieved for both inverter and motor at the rated operating point which is selected as the maximum efficiency point. To optimize the maximum efficiency point, an extensive number of motor drive system 45 parameters are selected (S125). The selected parameters are input into an optimization block where off-line optimization design constraints are applied (S126). The off-line optimization design step S126 uses an optimization iteration step S142 to find the optimized values of the selected parameters that minimize inverter 65 current (S127), minimize motor 75 current (S128), and bring the power factors of motor 75 and inverter 65 to unity (S129). For this purpose, combinations of motor drive system 45 parameters that satisfy the off-line design optimization constraints in steps S127, S128 and S129 are found.
Motor back electromotive force (EMF) and inductance value selection for motor 75, as well as filter parameters for inverter output filters 70 are found in optimization step S143. Minimum inverter current is achieved when DC voltage utilization for inverter 65 is maximized (S130). Motor back EMF and inductance value selection for motor 75 are optimized to ensure minimum motor current under the constraint imposed by the DC bus voltage limitation of inverter 65 (S131). Filter parameters for inverter output filters 70 are optimized so that minimum inverter and motor currents are obtained at the same time when both inverter 65 and motor 75 operate at unity power factor (S132). Step S124 for off-line design optimization of the rated operation point outputs optimized filter 70 parameters, and optimized motor back EMF and inductance for motor 75 (S133). The output filter and motor parameters help achieve minimum motor current, minimum inverter current and minimum overall current when power factors for both inverter and motor are at unity value, and maximum efficiency/power density is achieved for motor drive system 45 (S133).
The second step of design/control optimization of motor drive system 45 is on-line control optimization of the entire motor driving operation range (S134). In this step, the minimal current operation point for the optimized efficiency at all operating points is selected. As motor drive system 45 starts operation, DC bus voltage is turned on and connected to the inverter (S135). The inverter AC output voltage has an upper limit that is defined by the DC bus voltage. While the inverter AC output voltage is within the range defined by the AC output voltage upper limit (S136), inverter current, or motor current, or both, are minimized (S137), by applying a control strategy defined by Imd=0 for the motor drive system 45 (S138). This strategy aligns the motor current to the motor back EMF. When the AC output voltage hits the upper AC output voltage limit (S136), the constraint Imd=0 is not appropriate anymore, as the DC bus voltage cannot continue to produce the expected inverter AC voltage. In this case, maximum voltage control, which maintains the maximum DC bus utilization, becomes the primary goal in the on-line control optimization of motor drive system 45 (S139). The inverter current and motor current are next minimized at the controlled operating point (S140). Hence, with DC bus utilization maintained at the maximum value, the inverter 65 current, or the motor 75 current, or both, are at the minimum.

which describe the case when motor drive system 45A does not include a LC filter. Thus, the results obtained in the general case when motor drive system 45A includes inverter output filters are applicable to the particular case when motor drive system 45A does not include inverter output filters.

which, by mathematical manipulation, lead to a dependence of Im on L, C, E, and Lm of the form:
A dependence of Iac on L, C, E, and Lm can be similarly found from the equation:
I ac 2 =I m 2+ω2 C 2 V m 2 =I m 2+ω2 C 2(V ac 2+ω2 L 2 I ac 2) as
The goal of off-line design optimization is to reach the point shown in equations (23) and (24), so that both the inverter 65A and the motor 75A are optimized for minimal current with unity power factor. Inverter bridge output voltage Vac is determined by the DC bus voltage input limit at inverter 65A. Output filter parameters L and C, motor back EMF E, and inductance Lm need to be optimized for minimal current of the overall system during the optimization iteration process S142 shown in

On-line optimization control rules I and II for a motor drive system without output filters are the same as the rules for a motor drive system with output filters described by equations (33) and (34).
The parameters collected by units 504, 505, 506, 507, 508, and 509 are embedded into a smaller number of directly related parameters that may include L and C related to inverter output filters 70B, E and Lm related to motor 75B, and Vac

In the equations above, Eω and E are the motor back EMFs at current speed ω and at rated speed ωrated from off-line design optimization. The presence of inverter LC output filters 70B calls for the feed-forward compensation performed in units 518 and 519.
Secondly, measurement feedbacks from measurement/feedback unit 514 for DC voltage Vdc, rotor position θ and speed ω are sent to the AC voltage limitation calculation Vac_max unit 524. The components Iac_A, Iac_B and Iac_C of measured three phase current inverter {right arrow over (I)}ac
Thirdly, the input parameters from input parameters selection unit 512 are sent to system level command unit 516 which controls ωref, hence driving the commanded operating point of motor drive system 45B. Speed command ωref and measured speed ω are then sent to the speed regulation unit 517, which generates the motor torque command Imq_ref.
The motor magnetic current command Imd_ref is also generated, based on the on-line control optimization rules I and II described by equations (33) and (34). For this purpose, AC voltage limitation calculation Vac_max unit 524 calculates the AC voltage limit based on the measured Vdc, as shown in equation (30). Unit 525 then uses equation (31) to calculate the Vac
V ac
Equation (44) gives the demanded Vac_q value when control Imd=0 applies.
On-line control optimization rules I and II described by equations (33) and (34) are applied forward in units 525, 526, 527, 528 and 529. Using equation (44) and on-line control optimization rule I, units 525, 526 and 528 implement on-line control optimization of motor drive system 45B as described below:
if √{square root over (Vac
that is, √{square root over (Vac
that is, if √{square root over (V2 ac
then set Imd
Using on-line control optimization rule II, units 525, 526, 527 and 529 implement on-line control optimization of motor drive system 45B as described below:
if √{square root over (Vac
that is, if √{square root over (Vac
that is, if √{square root over (V2 ac
then use √{square root over (V2 ac
in order to keep the maximum AC voltage operating with the limited DC voltage value. Unit 527 can be implemented with feed-forward structure based on on-line control optimization rule II equations (34), or with feedback structure based on the error between √{square root over (V2 ac
The proposed invention presents a new overall design/control concept for a motor drive system to achieve an overall system optimization for maximum efficiency in the entire motor drive system operating range, under various inputs and load conditions. The technique described in the current invention can be applied to a motor drive system including various types of inverter output filters, as well as to a motor drive system without inverter output filters. The technique described in the current invention can be applied to synchronous motors with limited DC bus voltage.

Deep Creek
The State Road 46 bridge is seen near Deep Creek.
Deep Creek is in portions of southern Volusia and northeastern Seminole counties, covering almost 274 square miles. Deep Creek provides a connection to the St. Johns River for Lake Ashby in Volusia County. Another major feature within the Deep Creek subbasin is Lake Harney, which is actually a widened section of the St. Johns River, with the river flowing into and out of Lake Harney. Lake Harney is a shallow lake, and is just one of the two lakes that form within the St. Johns River and are located within the middle basin — the other is Lake Monroe located further downstream.
The Deep Creek subbasin is mostly undeveloped, but is in a region where there has been much development. Road improvements have been ongoing in the area to accommodate the growth in central Florida over several decades and to move the tourist traffic.
Though significant areas are currently undeveloped, some residents experience flooding because structures were built in the 100‑year floodplain before regulations were established that govern construction in wetlands and low-lying areas. Water quality problems have been identified in the Deep Creek subbasin, and the St. Johns River Water Management District is performing scientific evaluations and computer model simulations to help identify the problems and to recommend actions to address the issues.
Through a variety of projects, the district and its partners have purchased environmentally sensitive land and enhanced wetlands and floodplains, preserved habitat for scrub jays and other wildlife, and are encouraging large landowners to conserve property as "conservation corridors."
The district is exploring options in the Deep Creek subbasin where water quality improvement can be provided by enhancing natural features within district-owned lands to increase water flow paths and storage. Water quality improvement activities would result in lower amounts of nutrients going into the St. Johns River from the Deep Creek subbasin.

A small boy holds his arms up with the words "I am losing my childhood" written in English and Arabic, while a man flexes his bicep with the phrase "Syria is in my heart" scrawled across it.
These are just two of the powerful images of Syrian refugees captured by American photographers Robert Fogarty and Benjamin Reece. The pair visited Jordan back in September to meet and photograph people who have fled Syria since fighting began back in 2011.
Click here or on 'view gallery' to see more images
The pictures are part of the 'Dear World' project run by Fogarty, who uses his photographs to give a voice to people and let them tell their stories. The photographers travelled with charity CARE International which is helping 110,00 Syrians and their families in Jordan.
The New Orleans photographer wrote about the trip to the refugee camp on his blog, he said: "The refugees seemed so different from me—their dress, their language and their customs."
"But I felt like I knew them. Especially when they laughed and cried. And how they described their homes, even down to how the water tasted or how the sands of Syria felt beneath their feat.
"I felt like I knew them because I've heard stories like these before.
"Longing—that pit of your stomach feeling—is the same in any language."
The shots were taken in urban areas of Jordan where refugees are now living, including Amman, Mafraq, Zarqa, and the Zaatari refugee camp in the north of the country.
The images are beautifully shot but it is the simplicity of the messages that is likely to strike a chord and humanise the refugees, particularly the photograph of a man with the message: "My name is Muhammad and I am not a terrorist" written on his arms.
Fogarty rose to fame after photographing thousands of people forced to evacuate their homes when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans back in 2005. Most recently he has taken pictures of the victims of Hurricane Sandy in New York.
His colleague Reece is also making a series of films entitled We Are People following his visit to the Jordanian refugee camp, charting the lives of those affected by the Syrian conflict.
So far over 2 million refugees have been directly affected by the violence, while an estimated 6,000 people are fleeing the country every day. The UN is expecting a further 2 million people to be displaced in 2014.

Never Be Fat Again Audio Book
This six week book is now available as an audio program.Top Rated Diets of 2017
Never Be Fat Again is a six week cellular solution to permanently break the fat cycle. This is an audio program that was created from the book of the same name by Raymond Francis and Michelle King. Francis is an MIT trained scientist with experience in helping people out when diets don't work. He takes a groundbreaking approach to treat excess weight as a disease caused by malfunctioning cells. Never Be Fat Again shows you how many of the so called diet foods you may be eating are actually full of toxins and other harmful chemicals that poison your cells and alter your weight control genes causing you to gain weight rather than lose it. The Never Be Fat Again approach to weight loss is scientific and teaches you which food additives are the most harmful to your body.
With this audio program, you can start feeling better than you have in years, discover which low-fat and no-fat products will pack on the pounds and learn how to spot the most harmful food additives on a nutrition label. Never Be Fat Again also includes some healthy substitutions for the worst foods and recipes for fiber rich foods and snacks.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Tells you exactly what foods to eat and which to avoid
- Includes menus and recipes
- Focuses on your cells as the true fat source
- Dispels the myth that diet foods are healthy
- Plan is simple
- Program is only six weeks in length
- Includes menus and recipes
- None to speak of
The basics of the Never Be Fat Again surround what you should and shouldn't eat. There is an entire part of the book devoted to how to eat on the program. Some of the basic info includes avoiding foods like sugar, white flour, processed oils, dairy and excess animal protein. On this program, you will have plenty to eat, but you'll be feeding your body the right foods. The foods you eat on this program are essential to supplying your cells with the nutrients they need. The foods you eat will also help you avoid toxins that cause the body to gain weight. While eating like this, you will be able to eliminate hunger and start to see pounds melt away.
You will be eating a diet that is rich in plant-based foods including fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils, sprouts, nuts and a small amount of animal protein for those that want it. Changing from a diet of heavily processed foods to one that eliminates them will take some getting used to. The book suggests you be patient and give the program a chance to work on your body. One suggestion to make sure that you avoid fast food is using meals prepared in the crock pot. This will allow you to eat as soon as you get home and only takes a few additional moments of preparation time. All of the suggested meals on the menu include recipes if necessary. One day of eating on the program is reflected below:
- Breakfast – No-Cook Breakfast Delight with 1 Tbs. ground flaxseed and milk alternative; if desired, top with stevia, cinnamon and nutmeg
- Snack – A ripe apple or peach, or cup of blueberries with or without a handful of raw nuts
- Lunch – Build Your Own Veggie Sandwich; whole grain crackers and hummus
- Snack – Large serving of watermelon or raw assorted veggies
- Dinner – Basic tossed green salad with creamy southwestern dressing; NBFA burritos with meatless taco meat
Exercise is a very important part of the Never Be Fat Again program. You will be working towards incorporating exercise into your everyday activities. Some of the pointers provided in the book to help you sustain new healthy habits are listed below:
- Start at your own pace – If you've never exercised, start with just 10 or 15 minutes of walking each day and build from there. Be sure to avoid over exercising because it will cause soreness and discouragement.
- Schedule time for exercise each day – Put your workout in your appointment book so that you don't forget it. Having a consistent daily time will help you make this part of your routine. Strive to build up to more than 30 minutes of exercise each day as you are able.
- Do not relegate exercise only to your planned time – Incorporate more movement into your entire day. Any activity you do is helpful. Think of practical ways to increase your activity like taking the steps instead of the elevator, park farther away when running errands or do jumping jacks as a break from sitting at your desk.
- Do not allow yourself to sit in front of the TV night after night – If you want to watch television, rebound or pedal on a sedentary bike while watching your program of choice. Or do exercises during the commercials alternating between push-ups, sit-ups and stretching.
- Reward yourself in some way for every week of consistent daily exercise – Providing yourself with encouragement can be especially important at the beginning of your program. Allow yourself to indulge in something fun aside from eating.
Using these tips is a great way to get moving and incorporate more activity into your days. Moving more will become second nature after a few weeks of sticking with the new routine you set up for yourself. Don't be afraid to add your own tips to those that are included with the program. Anything you can do to incorporate more movement into your lifestyle will benefit your health and weight loss efforts.CONCLUSION
The audio version of Never Be Fat Again offers the same benefits as the book, except you can enjoy someone reading the book to you. This is a great option for those that have long commutes and want to try the program. All elements of nutrition and exercise are covered and very doable for those wanting to lose weight. The nutrition portion of this program may take some getting used to, but anyone can benefit from eliminating processed foods from their diet.Common Misspellings

User Feedback(Page 1 of 1, 2 total comments)
Understand that this is not a "diet". This is a life-style change. It will be much longer than 6 weeks - but you will never look at food that same again after hearing and learning what is incorporated in this book and CD. I am so grateful for the CD to share this information. Another wonderful resource by the same author "Never Be Sick Again" which I can also highly recommend.
What an amazing resource. All of this makes perfect sense, although it can be overwhelming. Persistence in listening and trying to make the changes is what it will take. Weight loss is a life-style change - it's obvious that we can't continue on the path we are on, as it is failing miserably. What do you have to loose? All that excess weight!

Pinxto recipes from storied tabernas and "secretive grandmothers" in Spain's Basque region are revealed in a new ebook by bespoke epicurean tour group San Sebastian Food. What are pinxtos? Think small, shareable plates, often served with a toothpick or skewer.
The first edition of an ongoing book series, The Basque Pinxto Cookbook (available on Amazon, $2.99) comprises 23 recipes with quick, easy preparations—some of which don't even require an oven—as well as drink pairings, and even a pinxto party how-to. Sample recipes like peach gazpacho, skewered monkfish and prawns, and garlic mushrooms are light and well suited for Miami's blazing summer temperatures.
To boot, the Basque region is renown for its top-tier cuisine, boasting the most Michelin starred restaurants per square foot in the world. It is also the epicenter of Spain for classic pinxtos. So be sure, San Sebastian Food and its contributors know their stuff.
