Nationally consistent accreditation of initial teacher education programs is an essential means of ensuring that all teachers are prepared to a high standard, and gain the knowledge, skills and experiences to make a positive impact on student learning.
Australian initial teacher education programs are accredited by jurisdictional teacher regulatory authorities using nationally agreed Standards and Procedures. As a result of the Teacher Education Ministerial Advisory Group's report Action Now: Classroom Ready Teachers, strengthened standards and procedures have been developed and agreed to by all Education Ministers.
Find out more: Revised Standards and Procedures (280KB PDF)
Written guidance material that articulates the evidence requirements of the Standards and Procedures for accreditation of initial teacher education programs is now available
Find out more: Implementation 2016
Over the course of 2015 AITSL has worked with key stakeholders to design a package of initial teacher education accreditation reforms to be implemented from 2016 that strengthen the accreditation system with a focus on outcomes. The revised Accreditation of Initial Teacher Education Programs in Australia: Standards and Procedures were agreed by Education Ministers in December 2015. These reforms include greater clarity and rigour around what providers must do to gain accreditation, and ensure that trained accreditation panels apply the same high standards across Australia. The strengthened process focuses on evidence of impact, with providers required to demonstrate their program ensures their pre-service teachers possess the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in the classroom by the time they graduate.
Find out more: See Standard 6.3 in the Revised Standards and Procedures (280KB PDF)
Find out more: Demonstrating impact
To inform the revised Standards and Procedures, AITSL undertook a review of the existing panel process. The Outcomes of the 2015 national initial teacher education accreditation panel review provides a summary of the key themes and findings of the perspectives put forward by key stakeholders involved in the national accreditation process of ITE programs. The outcomes of the review informed the development of a strengthened accreditation system.
Find out more: Initial teacher education accreditation panel review outcomes (204KB PDF)
The implementation of the revised Standards and Procedures commenced in 2016.
Providers should contact their local teacher regulatory authority to discuss their individual circumstances.
In their report Action Now: Classroom Ready Teachers, the Teacher Education Ministerial Advisory Group found that program accreditation across Australia is inconsistent, leading to varying levels of teacher preparation upon graduation.
The Ministerial Advisory Group also noted an increasing international focus on rigorous program accreditation and quality assurance, requiring provision of research, evidence of program impact and continuous improvement.
As a result of this strengthened system, all initial teacher education programs will be required to plan for, collect and demonstrate evidence about the impact that their programs are having. This information will form the basis of the accreditation process, with accreditation panels making consistent judgements about programs.
This new approach will lead to all initial teacher education programs being of a consistently high standard and having a demonstrable impact on graduates and in turn the students they go on to teach.

Temporary transition - tile to vinyl
1 Attachment(s)
I just finished a renovation project. As seen in the photo, the renovated space is tiled with porcelain and the existing space is some sort of stick down tile (vinyl?).
We plan to tile the rest of the house in a few years and I'd like to place a temporary transition (the tile ends under the door to receive the future tile).
My idea is to use floor float to bring the concrete strip level (and smooth) to the existing stick down tile (which seems to have been placed over a previous floor...house is circa 1964). Then, I'll have an oak transition milled to go from the porcelain to the stick down, using some sort of adhesive that will hold well but will let go when I want it to. I'll use matching sanded caulk between the transition and the porcelain and just caulk at the stick down.
Does this plan sound viable or does someone have a better idea? :)
Thanks for any input.
Attachment 71115
Your going to have to have a saddle in that doorway like marble when time comes or... a control joint between the tiles.
For now chizzle and get that adhesive up and cleaned out don't skim coat it. Then for temporary get a strip of pine 1"x how ever wide the door is and router the sides to be rounded and screw it down is what I would do for temporary.
Yep, as Jetsweat suggested---clean up the door way with a chisel and then make a full width 'saddle'
Choice of wood is up to your budget---you might even find something milled to the correct thickness at your local store----sanding can be used to round over the edge if you don't have a router--
Liquid nails could be used instead of nails--but removing it becomes more work---
Thanks for your responses, Oh'mike and JetSwet.
This was originally a doorway to a garage, which I enclosed and had concrete poured to bring the floor level equal to the rest of the house.
I was hoping for some sort of low profile transition like one sees in flooring stores (but they all seem to be only a few inches rather than the 5' I need), and since the thickness would only be about 3/8" <> between floor heights, assumed that I would go with oak and have it milled to spec since it would be would be hard and attractive.
Another thought, but if I were to cut tile pieces to cover the concrete and then use say, a marble transition, would that be best, or would I be asking for trouble trying to get it up later when I'm ready to tile the rest of the house? The grout is epoxy.
For a temporary finished transition ,wood is easiest----Marble will need to be destroyed to remove it---
Screwing it down will work--but with the rough surface, it might be easier to bed it into some adhesive and tape it until the glue sets----

Beret Repurposed Into Record Player For Marc Jacobs Eco-Friendly Espadrilles Ad
A record-playing beret takes the starring role in an ad for repurposed espradrilles by peSeta for Jacobs by Marc Jacobs.
Forget a raspberry beret, a record-playing beret is really where it's at. The novelty headgear has a starring role in an ad for Jacobs by Marc Jacobs espradrilles, a shoe collaboration between the fashion label and Spanish company peSeta.
The espradrilles look similar to others in the peSeta line, but the main difference is that these are made with reclaimed Marc by Marc Jacobs fabric. The result is a hi-low mix of handmade shoes that are as eco-friendly as they are stylish.
The playful ad takes inspiration from the repurposed quality of the shoes, by finding a secondary (albeit imaginary) purpose for the black beret. The spot, called Tap Your Toes sees the model tap his toes in time to his beat-playing beret, as his shoes magically transform from one style to the next.
This is not the first collaboration between peSeta and Marc Jacobs, as last year they came out with a line of sailor bags. The brands have had an ongoing under-the-radar collaboration since 2008, which is why it is fitting that the espradrilles come in a co-branded cloth sack with both brands' logos on it.
PeSeta often collaborates with other brands on one-off products, but Marc Jacobs is one of their longest held partnership, with a variety of goods – from passport holders to this season's espradrilles – born out of the collaboration.
The brand was founded by Laura Martinez del Pozo, a self-proclaimed lover of fabric, whose only goal was to make beautiful things out of textiles. As a result, the products can be quite varied, and their collaborators move beyond fashion brands to other sectors such as photography brand Lomography.
The latest range of espradrilles will be on sale online soon. See it in action above.
The video was directed by Tenis and produced by Bonaparte.

Spiral Staircase at CosmoCaixa Science Museum
This time Barcelona Photoblog has the pleasure to upload this picture of the spiral staircase, or better said ramp to the underground levels inside Cosmocaixa Science Museum in Barcelona. Today there is no possibility to enlarge the image cause quality was not good and I hate it when someone enlarges an image just to see a noisy or blurry background. Sometimes smaller works just fine. I am way behind schedule with my posting as you know due to an excess of work both at the office and at home so I apologize for the inconvenience. I want to point out that late posting does not mean I am quitting! Thank you for coming and for the kind comments.

A Sean Murphy home run with two outs in the bottom of the 12th lifted the baseball team to a 1-0 win over Valparaiso on Senior Day Sunday at Nischwitz Stadium.
Opportunities for both teams were limited throughout the game as the Crusaders managed just one hit through the first eight innings and the Raiders had five.
In the ninth, Valpo had two reach on walks with one out, but an interference call on a grounder resulted in a double play. The Crusaders then had runners on first and third with one out in the 10th and appeared to have broken the scoreless deadlock with an infield hit, but the play was ruled a foul ball and WSU pitcher Taylor Braun escaped the threat with a strikeout and a fly out.
The bottom of the 12th looked to be another scoreless frame as the first two batters were retired on a pop out and a strike out. Murphy, however, changed all that with a swing on a 1-0 pitch, driving it over the fence for his fourth home run of the season and the game-winner.
Andrew Elliott (1-0) picked up the win with two scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while striking out three. Overall the Raider bullpen of Jack Van Horn, E.J. Trapino and Braun pitched eight innings of scoreless relief with eight strikeouts after starter Robby Sexton went the first four innings, fanning four.
Wright State (31-19, 23-3 Horizon) now heads to Wisconsin the next two weekends, starting with a three-game series in Milwaukee to close out the regular season. The series starts on Thursday at 5:00 Eastern, with the game to be played at Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Re: Finding a function within an arbitrary expression
I am trying to figure out what that pattern is for the following. The difficulty here is that I can think textually, but not in Mathematica patterns.
I am looking for a function u[1,0] within a list of expressions. The function might not be defined yet. For example, a list of expressions might be:
{3*u[1,0], u[0,0]/10., 1/u[1,0], ...}
I want to find all the expressions that have the function u[1,0] in it. There is certainly a way to do this "textually". How would one do this with patterns? Is it possible? Thank you.
Hi, Anthony,
Try this:
Select[{3*u[1, 0], u[0, 0]/10., 1/u[1, 0]}, MemberQ[#, u[1, 0]] &]
{3 u[1, 0], 1/u[1, 0]}

Incumbent Eric Cater will stay on until a replacement is found before moving to a non-executive position. Joint managing director Kevin McMenamin, who owns almost 10% of the group, and fellow director John Murray, who holds a 3.6% stake, are stepping down from the board but remain with the company. Former NatWest Markets corporate financier Michael Frank joins as a non-executive.
The changes come as the group unveiled interim pre-tax profits to 28 February up 42% to £565,000 on acquisition-enhanced sales up 204% to £6.91m. Cash reserves are down to £190,000 but chief executive Martin Greenwood is hungry for more acquisitions.
Kingsbridge's football clients are largely Premiership and First Division. Despite a slower-than-expected move into the entertainment sector, Greenwood believes the outlook for the rest of the year is satisfactory.Reuse content

Interior: A Beautiful Living
When I first laid eyes upon this family home, a few words came to mind: welcoming, cozy, fun, cheerful, authentic… life is lived in this home. Beautifully lived. Nothing is untouchable, and there are many surprises indoors and out to make one take a second look. And of course, if you have been reading Haute Design for a little while now, you will know that I adore children, and was happy to see this home has such playful nurseries, and that the little ones who live here truly enjoy country life…

Dearest Sarah,ReplyDelete
First off, congrats to your permanent boutique Leuie!
Funny to see those beams in ceilings again. The home I am born in and grew up in is over 100 years old and the first remodeling my Dad did was to cover up those beams. Styles for interiors go in waves; smooth ceilings and than again the wooden beams are back.
Enjoy your weekend!
Hello Mariette!Delete
Thank you so much :) The home you grew up in sounds lovely from what I gather, and I cannot help myself—I love beamed ceilings… especially the rustic kind.
Hope you had a lovely weekend!
The picture with a pony in a room is just too funny. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I will need to come and see it for myself on my next trip to Vancouver. I adore this house! such a great, beautiful houseReplyDeleteReplies
I would love to finally meet you, Francine! I believe you would enjoy the shops on either side of us as well :) Let me know if you will be skiing, or just visiting in general. xxDelete

It's wonderful, the dreaminess of the home doesn't conflict with it's being a good place to really do things - with plants, books, children and animals (though I'm sure the pony really can't be inside that much!)ReplyDelete

The fibreglass mouldings are manufactured by CCCAMPERS in Great Britain to the highest standards to ensure maximum safety and protection from water ingress whilst travelling.
Our Canvas is made from waterproof top quality canvas double seamed for strength and water resistance, not the standard tenting canvas as is used by most. This includes a zip down clear window at the front and closing mesh screen at both sides. We have inserted a small mesh vent at the rear of the canvas for ventilation no matter which way the wind blows. this will stop the musty smell from happening and help you sleep safely knowing that who ever sleeps up there is safe from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Our front and rear strengthening frames and profiled side beams are CNC lazer cut and then bent to shape on CNC Pressbrakes with the latest 3D Bendcam software, these are bonded and fixed into place to put the rigidity and strength back into the van that removing a large section of the roof takes away, again ensuring safety and quality.Bonding takes upto 36 hours to cure.

Re: Plot Question
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2*Pi},
Ticks -> {PiScale, Automatic}];
But, in a case like this, I think it is better to use a Frame and get the
axis and tick values off the curve. Look through Science magazine and see
how many plots you will see with the axes going through the middle of the
plot. I don't think you will see any.

Hello. I am trying to find an old post that gave an undocumented feature of
Mathematica. I can't find it in the archives and I have been searching for a
long time.
Someone posted an undocumented feature that would plot the horizontal ticks
in Radians. Does anyone remember that feature?
For example,
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2*Pi}];
has the tick numbers 1-6 on the horizontal axis.
I have to use
Ticks -> {{0, Pi/2, Pi, (3*Pi)/2, 2*Pi},Automatic}
to give it a more meaningful look.
I would be curious if anyone remembers that undocumented feature in order to
avoid having to add Ticks -> to get variations of Pi.
It sure would seem nice if there was a "quick option" to use variations of
Pi along the x-axis. I understand Mathematica 6 has graphics enhancements,
so maybe this feature will be added "officially." Isn't ver 6. due out about
Thank you very much for your time.

LONDON – Paul Gascoigne has been admitted to a treatment center in the United States just 24 hours after his agent revealed the troubled former England star was losing his battle with alcoholism.
Gascoigne, who has struggled with alcohol problems for many years and was sectioned under the Mental Health Act in 2008, was filmed sobbing and speaking incoherently at a charity event in Northampton on Thursday.
The footage, published by The Sun newspaper, prompted Gascoigne's agent, Terry Baker, to say the 45-year-old needed immediate help and that, as an alcoholic, his life was "always in danger."
"Alcoholic Paul Gascoigne has been experiencing a tough time of late," the statement read. "He has been asking for help and has willingly been admitted to a treatment center in America.
"He has complex issues that are currently being dealt with by professionals. Paul has been extremely touched and overwhelmed by the generous offers of help and support over the past few days. He is motivated to fully understand and control his addiction problem under guidance."
Known to fans as "Gazza," Gascoigne, a former Tottenham, Lazio, Rangers and Newcastle star, made 57 appearances for England and is considered one of the most talented English players ever.
He achieved legendary status for his exploits at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he helped England reach the semifinals before bursting into tears during the defeat against Germany after receiving a booking that would have ruled him out of the final.

Digital Media-Infused Wooden Blocks Will Be The Books Of The Future
Qleek lets people play songs and videos and share files and photos using wood Tapps.
In 2014 a major concern for everyone is saving space. In addition to the numerous storage units popping up in major cities, people are crazed over the thinnest phone and the lightest gadget, so naturally they also want to pack more things into less when it comes to their homes. For many of us, photo albums, CDs, and even books have become a thing of the past–we have smartphones and e-readers that allow us to store a greater quantity of these things in a more compact space. That being said, their is an intimacy that comes with holding a physical object; scanning a friend's bookshelf or a new acquaintance's CD collection, something we cannot get from a strictly digital world. Qleek is a new type of media player that combines the ease and compact nature of a digital collection with the physicality of objects, reinventing the idea of a bookshelf and adding a splash of personality to our homes.
Qleek allows you to pick the screen or speaker you wish to view TV episodes, watch movies, listen to music, or browse photos. It uses Tapps, small wooden hexagons, to house these books, songs, videos, and files. Tapps are always in connection with their sources so new content is uploaded and old technologies are updated automatically.
Started by Parisian startup, Ozenge, the creators of Qleek invented the product because the were saddened by seeing their beloved items stuck behind digital interfaces. Qleek has brought these items back into the real world, making them easily playable, sharable, and displayable. Starting today, Qleek can be pre-ordered on Indiegogo for 30 days. For $249, backers will receive a classic Qleek as well as 5 Tapps (additional Tapps can be purchase for $6 each). The estimated delivery date is December 2014.
To see how Qleek works, check out the video below.

I have a secret. My design aesthetic tends towards quick knits, with simple details that add a lot of punch and sometimes look more difficult and involved than they actually are, like the change of direction in Mossy Bells or the colorwork in Freckles & Ruffles.
That's not the secret, obviously. The secret is that I have a deep longing to design an intricate stranded colorwork sweater for Lexie, with colorwork adorning the circular yoke, and maybe the hem and sleeves. Something like this or this.
One thing that has been holding me back is picking out colors. Now, I love color – the more the better (and that's just my design stash). And I do have a colorwork design planed that uses variegated yarns. But that's not what I wanted here. I wanted traditional style, with updated colors and nontraditional patterns. Feminine and modern, like my girl.
So I was pretty excited when Katie of Yarn Love started talking about doing a free color class on her blog. Week one of her Color Journey has been posted, and I'm diving right in.
Step one is to choose a goal. You don't have to be designing a colorwork sweater – you can be choosing colors to knit someone else's pattern. Doing a color study. Picking out color accessories for your living room. Katie will be taking us through her process to choose colors for a cowl via Ravelry, a Pinterest board, and her blog, where she'll be providing feedback for those who want to learn along with her.
So, my goal is that colorwork sweater. I pulled up Google images and started searching – all I entered was the name of a color I wanted to look for, and then I went through the images that came back, sometimes refining my search (for example, I narrowed down to "lime green" and "butter yellow"). But I didn't want to get too specific to start; I wanted to see all the options and figure out what inspired me. My current Pinterest board shows you what colors spoke to me.
I took it a step further than that; I like playing with colors and use Paint.net (a free program) to literally pull them out of images. This was the result of my first attempt:
I'm looking forward to seeing what Katie has to say about it, and what we do next. If you'd like to follow along, I'll continue blogging about it, but will also be working on the Pinterest board linked above, and on my Ravelry project page. Let me know if you're taking the journey with us; I'd love to follow yours too!

TCU Women's Golf Finishes Up Fall Schedule
Oct. 21, 2004
GREENVILLE, S.C. - The Horned Frog women's golf team travels to South Carolina for the 34th annual Lady Paladin Invitational this Friday through Sunday hosted by Furman University at the Furman Golf Course. Seven teams in the field of 23 are ranked in the top 30, including No. 2 Auburn and No. 4 Georgia.
The 54-hole tournament will begin at 8:20 a.m. on Friday, with rounds two and three slated for an 8:20 start on Saturday and a 9:30 a.m. shotgun start on Sunday. Furman, which last won the Lady Paladin team title in 2002, will be paired with Georgia and TCU on Friday and will begin teeing off No. 1 at 9:10 a.m. On Saturday, the host Lady Paladins will go off the 10th tee starting at 12:30 p.m., and will again be paired with UGA and TCU.
Todd McCorkle's University of Georgia Bulldogs won the 2003 Lady Paladin Title in record fashion, setting a new single-round record with a 283 on day two and a new three-round total of 866, but UGA will have to get past 23 total teams, including seven ranked in the Golfweek top 30, to repeat as Lady Paladin Champions. The Auburn Tigers, who did not compete last year, but won the team title in 2000 and 2001, will be chief among those rivals. The Tigers bring a No. 2 ranking into the tournament. In addition, the Florida Gators are 13th, Michigan State is 20th, Furman is 21st, Mississippi State is 30th, and Northwestern is 38th.
In addition to taking home the team title, UGA's Natalia Nichols won 2003 medalist honors and will be back to defend her title. Chief among her rivals is teammate Whitney Wade, who tied for second at the Lady Paladin as a freshman last year, and Furman's own Jenny Suh, who placed sixth in her freshman campaign.
All 23 teams will have a chance to play a practice round Thursday at
Furman, before teeing it up Friday for the competitions' first round.
Past Lady Paladin Invitational individual champions include Nancy Lopez,
Betsy King, Donna Andrews, Dottie Pepper, and Angela Stanford.

When you're building a new show home, there's no need to reinvent the wheel.
Many show homes look the same. A concerted effort must be made to distinguish your home from the one across the street.
The way to accomplish that objectiveis to build a home that stays ahead of the design curve by using a transitional exterior and modern interior, says Gerry Trottier of Southwynn Homes.
"We really wanted to do something different with this home, so we thought long and hard about the design," he said of Southwynn's newest show home, a 1,960-square-foot bungalow that sits on a 54-foot by 118-foot walk-out lot at 23 Bridge Lake Drive in Bridgwater Lakes.
"It has a traditional exterior, but when you go inside, it's totally modern, and then some."
The first feature that sets 23 Bridge Lake apart from other show homes in the area is its ceiling.
"The first thing we decided to do from a design standpoint was to put in a barrel ceiling, which is rare in homes built in Manitoba," Trottier said.
"It really is spectacular in how it arcs across and above the great room to add ceiling height, volume and light.
"At first, people take a moment or two to notice it. Once they do, they love it because it's different and really lends a unique look to the area."
To make the great room's interior even more unique, Trottier's design team (led by wife Lesli) went outside the box with the flooring choice. Instead of a traditional favourite, dark maple hardwood floors, distressed wavy-oak plank floors were installed.
"I believe we're the first builders to introduce this flooring in Manitoba," he said. "It looks different with its wavy pattern and distressed texture. Because it's an engineered hardwood, it's a rugged, attractive product that will stand the test of time."
Although the main-floor layout is open-concept, each space in the great room is distinct.
The family room is awash in natural light from a huge window that provides a view of the wetlands behind the home. It's subtly divided from the kitchen by a dry bar set in its own little niche between the two spaces. Finishing quality is exceptional, with the focal point being a gas fireplace set in elegant grey porcelain tile.
The kitchen features six-foot-wide aisles, grey Caesar Stone countertops and a multitude of espresso and white maple cabinets that offer a ton of storage space. A wall oven and gas range are built into the countertop save space.
"We wanted to make sure anyone in a wheelchair could move around easily in the kitchen," Trottier explained.
"There's also lots of cabinetry with a (six-door) pantry across from the fridge and another three-door pantry beside it. It's a kitchen that's as functional as it is beautiful. It's capped off by a dining area for six to eight that was placed by a huge window for a wetland view, and by a door that leads to an elevated deck that looks out onto the wetlands."
As fabulous as the view and all the rich finishes are, it's the practical layout wins the day. Three-foot-wide doorways are well-placed to improve. Even the placement of the master bedroom, located off the kitchen/dinette area, has a purpose behind it.
"We wanted to capture the view out back, which is incredible no matter what the season is," Trottier said. "To accomplish that, we put in a huge picture window. We then placed a large piano-style window on the side wall to let in even more light.
"Additional features such as a coffered ceiling and transom window over the door add even further to the feeling of volume and brightness, while an ensuite with white (porcelain) tile floor, soaker tub, five-foot shower and all sorts of space offers a nice touch of luxury."
Head down to the lower level, and there's another 1,650 sq. ft. of bright, well-distributed space. Two more huge bedrooms (both with wetland views), a games room (also with a view), a media room, exercise room and four-piece bath, plus all kinds of storage space, take the home's total liveable space to 3,600 sq. ft.
"It truly is a grand home with all the space, but it's about more than sheer space," Trottier said. "We used our imagination and worked hard to come up with an innovative design.
"With all its curves... I think we created a home that's interesting, functional and luxurious."

Have you ever stood in line outside a club, hoping and waiting for the bouncer to let you in? Have you felt the club doorkeeper's eyes scrutinizing you through a peephole of a door without a handle, hoping your outfit is stylish enough for you to gain admittance? Andy Warhol didn't. Well, at least not in New York City and not in 1981, almost 20 years after his Campbell's Soup Can paintings catapulted him to the helm of the contemporary and pop art scenes.
For those less talented and less famous than Warhol, the "Queen of the Night" (also known as Regine Zylberberg and the owner of Regine's nightclub), employed an advisory committee to review applications for club membership. The lucky few who were selected could purchase a $600 membership that granted free admission with up to 7 friends.
Memberships and admission were so exclusive at Regine's that the New York State Liquor Authority investigated the club for "social discrimination." Andy, however, didn't have any trouble getting in.
Recently, the Time Capsules Cataloguing Project came across, in TC314, a gold-plated Regine's membership card in a leather Cartier case, already engraved with Andy's name, given, Regine writes, "as a token of my friendship." No, Andy didn't have to wait outside, hoping to be let in. He sauntered in without even needing the highly sought-after gold card, which he unceremoniously tossed into his January 1981 Time Capsule.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX falls as gold miners, energy stocks weigh
(Adds analysts' comments, updates prices to close)
* TSX ends down 96.60 points, or 0.68 percent, at 14,134.46
* Seven of TSX's 10 main groups fall
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, July 7 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Thursday as gold miners retreated following their sharp rally since Britain's vote to leave the European Union and as a reversal in oil prices weighed on energy companies.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index ended down 96.60 points, or 0.68 percent, at 14,134.46.
Its energy group fell 1.5 percent, reversing earlier gains, as oil prices fell to two-month lows after a U.S. weekly crude draw that disappointed bullish traders.
"People are cautious, people are taking some profits and waiting to see what happens tomorrow with non-farm payrolls," said Ian Makamoto, director of research at MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier, referring to U.S. jobs data due on Friday.
Also weighing on the index was its hefty gold mining group, which pulled back following a steady rise since the Brexit vote sideswiped financial markets in late June. Continued...

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.
IMPORTANT: If you are interested in adopting a dog, you MUST fill out an application! We do NOT consider you for adoption until this is done. We dont want to waste your time, and the dogs time and we have this adoption procedure in place simply to prevent this. We appreciate your understanding in this procedure!
Go to www.goingtothedogsrescue.org and the homepage on the left has a link to our adoption application.
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.

Water Actuator Frigidaire PLHS269ZCB3
The water actuator broke on my fridge and was wondering how to replace it. I need to order the part and would like also to know how to gain access behind the ice/water door in order to get to the part.
Can anybody fill me in?
If you have not had the fridge repair yet here is how to get in to the dispenser.
Feel or look along the bottom edge of the trim on the dispenser and you will see two slots.
Use a flat blade screwdriver to pry the bottom off.
Then slide the trim up and lift it off this will give you access to the screws to replace the actuator.
Here is a place to get Frigidaire parts.
This is about as good of electrical diagram showing the dispenser wiring on the right side. The photo has lost some of its clarity especially in color codes. Hope this helps=> http://appliance911seabreeze.com/Fri...%20DIAGRAM.jpg

You can find just about anything at a Walmart Supercenter – even rabid bats, apparently. Or at least that was the case at an Albuquerque store earlier this week. [More]
Bat Bites Person At New Mexico Walmart, Tests Positive For Rabies
Rabid Skunk Chomps On Visitor To Six Flags New England
Last week, a skunk bit a visitor on the foot at Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts. That's scary enough. Skunks don't usually run around chomping on people, though, so the animal was captured, euthanized, and tested for rabies. It tested positive. Now officials want the public to know that if a skunk bit them while they were at the park, to contact their health care provider. [CBS Boston]

Niseko, Japan.
Doing a season here in Niseko and if you love powder you have to come here. 8m so far at village level since late November. Past 3 days alone has yielded 1m worth of champagne powder.
Have a look at our highlights so far this winter. I wouldn't say we're very good but it's definitely a load of fun.
Looks pretty sick man. Im heading there in 2days time soooo amped.
Any trails that are highlights or spots not many.people know about?
Shred hard!
If you're doing Niseko United get an all-mountain pass. Just hit up all the gates man. Do a peak hike out Gate 3, definitely a must-do experience.
If in Hirafu do the Miharashi run. Probably best run on the mountain. Look out for Superstition in Niseko Village as well.
Re: Niseko, Japan.
Will be there for a weekend end of Feb. Pumped!!!
It has been fantastic - has been snowing everyday since I got here a month ago.
Only now having the first couple of days without new snowfall.
You here for the season? Working somewhere?
Today has been the first day in 22 straight days of snowfall that it has not snowed.
Re: Niseko, Japan.
Highlights from January to March here in Niseko, Japan including Rusutsu, Kiroro, hiking Shiribetsu-dake, Annupuri, Niseko Village, Hirafu and Hanazono.
There were some absolutely epic days this winter but March has been disappointing with it becoming warm and windy.
To round it up, last winter was much better. Fewer punters, consistent snow, low winds. This winter has been a lot more busy (longest lift line I've had was no more than 10 mins mind, and that was at it's absolute peak early Jan) and the snow has come in patches. We've had days where it's snowed half a metre in 4 hours but late Jan and most of March was windy.
Still, it was a really really fun season all round. Can't complain with 18m of fresh champagne powder. Enjoy the video and do visit Niseko if powder is your thing.
If you have questions about the place shoot away, I'll try to help with whatever knowledge I've amassed here over 2 winters.
Absolutely awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.
Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.

Anyone else having problems with the George at asda website. After going through my order details as soon as I want to pay it's starts me all over again.
Asda online shopping website been down over 24 hours now.......have had to buy my monthly shopping at Tesco online.......poor business from Asda.
asda website down again
Bank checking will not load
Can't checkout on asda direct
Asda.com is up but can't access the George or direct pages. Says the connection was reset.
I rang the 0800 number (South Africa) regarding a complaint I had but no help whatsoever so I contacted customer services at head office & advised her of my complaint and told her I'd already spoken to someone in SA. She asked me to hold the line & after about 20 secs another voice asked if they could help, couldn't believe it she had put the call through to South Africa.
Well it seemed it was OK when they took my fee for delivery pass, and after that all I got was "access denied!"
Having a really hard time checking out my order and get the dreaded error "Sorry, we're having a few technical difficulties and can't get a response from our systems at the moment. Please try again later". It's been like this for hours now with no sign of getting better and no response from Asda technical help, just ignored emails and unhelpful phone staff. For an online grocery store the size of Asda this is laughable. Epic fail ASDA.
If you guys are really stuck have you tried the Asda app that might work
I can logon but cant check out or review previous orders, Price Guarantee is work :) Message I get :-
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://groceries.asda.com/account/orders" on this server.Reference #18.bf81655f.1463234700.52b2ac
Trying to check the status of my grocery order, but I am either getting a message saying I can't access Asda's website from my server, or when I can get on the site and choose an option, I keep being bounced back to the password entry even though my password is being accepted.
cant get online shopping done asda down does anyone know when this will be up and running again?
Trying to check out but keep getting error notice to tell me to try again later - some problem with booking a delivery - absolute pain.

Wont let me checkout tried ringing customer services . I might as well of being speaking to my dog the lady on the other end didnt have a clue what i was asking. Very fustrating . Think i will try somewhere else
I'm at the checkout stage on George, filled in the fields required and when I press 'Next', it won't let me to proceed, highlighting that I have not entered the DOB correctly. So I checked again and again but there is NO such field to input this. Am I missing something?? There is definitely no box for DOB! Just title, first name, surname and phone number. Aargh! So frustrating! looks like I won't be ordering...waste of time!!!
Unable to complete payment verification.. Unusual! Never happened before.
Useless app and website. Lost my slot because it won't complete payment verification
3 days trying to access checkout and account settings. Just getting a load of blue text and even the links there wont work. Given up and gone back to Tesco. How many more customers are ASDA prepared to lose?

Bee trying for 3 weeks to book a delivery slot with Asda. Despite phone calls, twitter and emails promising it will be ok by the end of the day ..........STILL exactly the same!! Glad Morissons are delivering locally now. I'll give them a go

Is Asda website not working at the moment ? Have added items to basket which i want to pay for signed in i can only go as far as delivery as it goes straight to homepage after that , its been like it now for about 14 hours its so frustrating.
Put on my order as normal wouldn't let me check out blamed my bank. Nothing wrong with my bank, have checked.
cannot ammend an order placed previosly - checkout is broken - left with an order that we do not want - we have tried 3 times to place the order before midnight and each time it took an hour and each time there was a technical error - no help line available - 24 hour line of local shop left us on hold for an hour- Morrisons next week
Keeps saying there's a technical hiccup, return to previous page and try again. Been trying for days. Out of patience and somewhat hungry so I guess I'll have to stick with tesco.. Hey ho.
I can't log in - never mind back to Tesco's - you may hate them but at least they can run a website
unable to check out my order what is happening i am not the only customer having problems please sort this out
I have been having problems not being recognised, resetting password, then it tells me there is an error, ,now it's telling me the website is being updated, it has been like this since Friday that I know of.
Why is this coming up? 'Sorry, due to a technical error your delivery slot could not be booked. Please try again a bit later.' I'm only amending an order, I already have the slot grrrrr.
Gillian Brewin. My computer just freezes as soon as I log into Asda groceries. Been usin g home delivery for many years. Will now have to shop elsewhere.
I cannot continue with my clixk and collect order, its very frustrating
My account, address and all contact details are coming up but it keeps switching to create a new address and won't accept it. Getting very annoyed after trying to log out and then log back in successfully several times!!!
I've been trying to look at ladies tops for over 30 minutes the pages are hardly moving about to give up and look elsewhere.
tried making an order but at checkout, a screen comes up saying 'continue' but it doesn't do anything! tried going back a page but takes me back to home page and my order is lost! why???
Unable to enter card number to make a payment. When I enter the card number and move to next box to enter my name it puts commas in the number and changes it, i've tried numerous times but it is the same every time.
Can't pay with my Pure Card. Been trying to check out for ages. Asda services not able to find out why. Site seems to be experiencing problems
cant get my groceries paid, im disabled pensioner what a poor service
Unbelievable. Spent ages entering my order and checking out before the time slot expired, only to be left 'hanging' when payment was going through. Therefore the time elapsed. GRRRR! Lost my time slot for the day. Tried to rebook for Saturday, but still not letting me actually pay for the delivery. What is going on ASDA?!!
Placed an order, all good until it came to checking out. As soon as i scroll down to pay with card screen freezes and box comes up to say Internet explorer has stopped working. What a kerfuffle - have tried everything to pay for the order just not happening. Angry, frustrated and hungry :-(
I need to amend my list too it's not good enough when you have a baby hope it comes tomorrow would of gone to Tesco but I have the 3 months pass
Can't login. Password details are saved on my laptop and automatically entered but are not accepted. Tried the forgot password link but this did not direct me to a page where I could enter my email address - it went to the "help" section.
Haven't been able to access Asda website the last 24 hours. When I try to add something in my Basket it insist on telling me I cant add more than 24 at a time - I really just want ONE chicken please!
asda not working AGAIN! cleared my trolly then its back again then its not. cant check out, cant book a slot. couldn't log in last night, fri 13th jjune of all days and today, the 14th june log in but all other problems happening. surely an business this size should not have these problems!
couldnt check out just now. Tried logging out and using a different browser - Asda site wouldnt load. Cleaned out cookies - still no joy.
I have no idea why I cannot login to my account. I have placed an order, now I want to make some amendments but it doesn't get login. It says login failed. what can I do?
It's working for me now, hasn't been for the last hour but I can now finally amend my order! Good thing, too, as it's due tomorrow! You all might want to check now as well, before it stops working again!
Can't add to basket, tried customer services advice and got 'cannot add more than 24 items' but still nothing in my basket.
Day 3 and still cant order from Asda what the heck is going on here ASDA? :(
I search for 'cereal', no results found, but underneath customers viewed Kellogg's CEREAL etc. Type in Kellogg's, NO RESULTS but customers viewed 'Kellogg's cornflakes' It's a joke to be honest. When you click the 'ood cupboard' option, cereal isn't even an option!. Grrrrrr. Everything I search for, no results! Please sort it out!
Ive just spent the best part of two hours doing my asda shop and for some reason its emptied my basket and saying i need to book a slot but when i click on the choose a slot it jumps to other pages?? Is their a problem with the site??
i have been trying to order a item from website for 24 hours will not let me
This is the SECOND week I can't do online shopping - Waste of time having a delivery pass!!!
Being trying to log into Asda for 24hours now - just keeps saying having technical hiccups and come back later
STILL NOT WORKING!!! Luckily I have been given the loan of a car to go shopping but it is NOT convenient and besides, I have PAID for a Delivery Pass! Come on ASDA pull your finger out and get the site working properly!!
have not been able to log on to asda for 5 days now, have spoke to online support twice still no good, was told they up and running. morrisons may get my order
I keep getting something like 'We're experiencing a technical hiccup' or it lets me log on, but tells me, 'Your slot has now expired. Please choose another slot now.' Except I haven't even booked a slot or done my shopping yet! This has been happening for 24 hours now!!
I've tried to check out my order for the past 5 days now and still get the Technical Error page!! I've phone their helpline twice and was told that it's only happening to some customers, good bye!! Not good enough as i HATE going into a supermarket - would rather go hungry - and probably will at this rate!!
Various error messages since 5.30am, technical difficulties, sorry we're having problems etc, and not letting me checkout.
my last weeks shopping is still showing, all i can do is amend an order that was delivered last week
I can log in... but it won't complete my order, I was trying to edit. It was due tomorrow... so I have 2 hours! Noooooooo.
Encountered the problem on 03 April. Have been trying to check out since then. At last, today, I was able to check out an order!
20 MINS on hold to call centre because I can't get past the Order Summary page...won't bring my shipping address onto the final part of the order. Her response? "Website is having some difficulty, try again tomorrow." Second time I've had issues with Asda in 2 weeks. Won't be using again for quite some time! Grrrr!
I have been waiting for the dial to stop spinning in the checkout process for over an hour :(
wont let me sign in and need to add some items before its delivered friday, been trying for 2 days now, not happy :(
Today I tried again to confirm an order. Still get the continuous whirling sign and nothing else. I have emailed the following complaint to ASDA. I hope they do something about their website and home shopping facilities:
Dear Sir/Madam
I am still unable to confirm my ASDA home shopping grocery order after a week and a half of trying. I know that others are experiencing similar problems and writing on the internet about it daily yet all the suggestions I have had from your support team, either over the telephone or by email are treating the problem as if it were due to me, my cards, my browser, my computer or my understanding of how to do online shopping.
I have put into practice all the suggestions given to me by your support team.
The problem is with your website and not with me or any of the people who have experienced similar problems. I have purchased a 15.00 delivery pass but cannot use it or make any purchases online from ASDA.
Please put this website right for me and the many others who are experiencing similar 'blockages' and nonsense told to them on their screens, by emails and by telephone.
I still cannot confirm an order. Got an email from ASDA customer support telling me to do any of three things, quote:
You can try the following:
• Please run ASDA website with Internet explorer 8 or above
• Cookies should be enabled on the computer you're using to access the Website
• Delete browsing history and clear cookies to ensure that the website runs smoothly '
I have done all those things. Even if it were my internet explorer that would still not explain why everything has worked well for about 7 orders, confirmed paid for and delivered without any website problems.
The problems I have been experiencing first arose when the site was experiencing difficulties and was putting notices to say so on the website. I think these website problems have not been put right yet.
Have been trying all day to check out at ASDA website. What is happening? So frustrating!!
Can't update payment card details. Getting fed up now, Waitrose looking good!
Hi I have been trying since Sunday morning to pay for my groceries, cannot get a straight answer from their call centre. What is going on???
been trying since last night to complete checkout with same error... card details fine, money in bank... whats problem???
I am unable to confirm my order today 03 April 2014. Last Monday I tried to amend an order on numerous occasions throughout the day but could not confirm the order. The website did not allow me to amend my order by kept repeating the message that I should sign out by a certain time or the original order would be delivered. The original order was eventually delivered minus the amended add on items.
I made a telephone call to the helpline but found that it did not help at all. I spent a lot of time trying to do what should have taken just a few minutes which has made me feel quite angry about the website service I have NOT been given. No proper explanation was given on the site or on the telephone.
Now the same thing is happening again. Today i cannot confirm an order. Again i have spent lots of time waiting and not getting through. When i rang the store they were helpful but i was sent on another round which eventually put me through to the same useless number.
It is not a problem getting to asda.com but when selecting groceries from there and then trying to sign in.
Made an order, cant complete checkout !! Been trying back and fore for an hour now ! I guess this is the end of Asda deliveries for me then !!!
Asda is down this morning - keep getting some message about high volumes of traffic! Better try Sainsburys!
Is Asda grocery website not working today? I've been getting this message for the last few hours..
"We are currently experiencing high volumes of traffic" :(
every time I try order George clothing for delivery to store, it will only let me have home delivery with a charge. I select the store for collection at then the page sticks and will not let me go to payment stage. Last time this happened I rang Asda Direct and they said they are not allowed to do phone orders any more so had to go through customer complaints, speak to the George Manager and see if she could help, which she couldn't so sorry Asda your website is just rubbish!!!
i cant log out of my account i cant log in to log out either but its saying welcome back darren on the screen like im logged in its not recognising my password either
Asda website has been down all evening. Managed to get through on phone after 30mins and the poor woman on the other end was very understanding but couldn't do anything. We have an order tomorrow which I cant now alter. Perhaps they could give people more time after 11pm when this happens so we can alter orders up until say 3 hours before delivery?
So frustrating. Have wasted 30 mins so far trying to log in and now I can't place my order in time for the delivery slot I need. Wish I hadn't signed up to their three month pass as easier to go to the store (you also get more bargains that way too).
Yep same issues as other people. Really frustrating and can't get through on the phone. Asked for a password reset as thought it was me and now can't get in with either new or old password and its now telling me they don't deliver to my postcode despite doing so for the last five years! Would have been quicker to drive the 20miles there and back to get it.
To all frustrated shoppers... apparently they're 'working on it' and 'escalating the matter' ... If I had a pound for every time I hear that I'd be able to pay for delivery...
Can't Log in, keeps coming up with red error message. Very frustrating as i've already booked my slot earlier in the week and now need to change it!!!

The captain of the shipwrecked cruise liner Costa Concordia appeared in a Tuscan court today.
Francesco Schettino wore dark glasses and used a back entrance to slip into the court in the town of Grosseto to hear evidence against him.
Passengers who survived the collision off the Tuscan coast on January 13 in which 32 people were killed are also attending.
More than 1,000 survivors, victims' relatives and their lawyers are attending a closed-door hearing to discuss the evidence against Schettino and eight other defendants.
Hearings this week will help decide whether a judge will order a trial for Schettino, who is charged with manslaughter, causing the shipwreck and abandoning ship while passengers and crew were still aboard. He denies the charges.
More than 1,000 survivors, victims' relatives and their lawyers are attending the closed-door hearing to discuss the evidence against Schettino and eight other defendants, including crew members and officials from Concordia owner Costa Crociere, which is owned by Miami-based Carnival.
"We want to look him in the eye to see how he will react to the accusations," said German survivor Michael Liessen, 50.
Last month four court-appointed experts delivered a 270-page report of what went wrong based on an analysis of data recorders, ship communications equipment, testimony and other evidence.
The experts - two admirals and two engineers - lay most of the blame for the collision with the reef and the botched evacuation on Schettino. But they also noted that not all crew members understood Italian, not all had current certification for evacuation procedures, and not all passengers had participated in evacuation drills.
Passengers described a confused and delayed evacuation, with many of the lifeboats unable to be lowered because the boat was listing too far to one side. Some of the 4,200 people aboard jumped into the Mediterranean and swam to Giglio, while others had to be plucked from the vessel by rescue helicopters hours after the collision.
Schettino has insisted that by guiding the stricken ship to shallower waters near Giglio's port instead of immediately ordering an evacuation he potentially saved lives. He has claimed that another official, and not he, was at the helm when the ship struck.
The timeline in the expert report, however, makes clear that he had assumed command six minutes before the ship struck the reef.
Islanders on Giglio have been told that the Costa Concordia is not to be raised before 2014.

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
With more clever, dark humor and zany silliness, Dale E. Basye sends Milton and Marlo Fauster back for thirds in another laugh-out-loud installment of the popular series Heck.
After his second escape from Bea "Elsa" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, Milton Fauster makes his way to Blimpo the circle of the otherworldly reform school, Heck, where he's sure his friend Virgil is sentenced. Virgil's only crime is being, well, "plump." Milton has to wonder if that's really enough to justify eternal darnation. And what Milton finds in Blimpo horrifies him. The overweight dead kids spend most of their time running on giant human hamster wheels called DREADmills that detect and exploit their deepest fears. The rest they spend eating Hambone Hank's barbecue mystery meat that is delicious, but suspiciously (to Milton, anyway) "haunting." Every classroom has a huge TV screen showing happy thin people who taunt Blimpo residents with a perfection they will never attain.
Meanwhile, at her new job in the devil's Infernship program, Milton's sister, Marlo, knows all about trying to achieve perfection. And failing miserably. Can Milton get himself and Virgil out of Blimpo in time to rescue Marlo, too? Or is Fauster the next delicacy on Bea "Elsa" Bubb's menu?
"From the Hardcover edition.

I LOVE LOVE this figurine. I have been told this looks like early Staffordshire... But I will let you experts decide. The figurine stands just over 11" tall. The figurine is in wonderful condition there is one place on her bonnet that the paint has rubbed/worn off but she is Wonderful. The Victorian Girl is peeking into a woven basket. There is a parasol at her feet. She is wonderful with her painted boots with bows/flowers. The girl is reaching over into the box. The piece is incised only with a number 122. This is such a nice piece. Please check out our other listings. We have a ton of items to offer you from a wonderful Estate. We guarantee our items. Thanks for looking!

Suggestions on Quality yet Inexpensive Florescent Strobe Umbrella Lighting

Re: Suggestions on Quality yet Inexpensive Florescent Strobe Umbrella Lighting
In reply to KCook • May 7, 2013
to Kelly: I mean strobe. I didn't realize that the option did not work together. the two options I want to stick with are umbrella and strobe. Everything else is easily interchangeable. originally I was looking for kits, but am afraid I wont find exactly what I want. So now I'm looking into finding individual items, I just want to make sure that I get everything I need. Such as: if I buy a stand, a light, and an umbrella, is there a connector that I need to purchase to make the umbrella stick to the stand. My only hope is that people will give me either tips or brands that they trust.

Untitled (Cassette Tape)
The Shmat likes getting tapes. Not only do they provide constant entertainment in the neverending Walkman breakdown battle, but you never know what will turn up. They're like the Vietnamese sandwiches that the Shmat's Peoples like to eat on the weekends, filled with questionable spreads and "mystery" meats galore. The latest tape he got was certainly a mystery. Postmarked from Honolulu, but with an address on the back from Tokyo. Instead of a bio page, a giganto page of lyrics. From what the Shmat can tell, this project is called Bloom. Hey Peoples, the Shmat suggests putting as much info as you can into your packages you send his way otherwise he won't be able to get a hold of you or write about you! Also, unless your lyrics are fantastically interesting or vital to the songs there's no need to send them along...
The songs here are mostly slower Mojave 3 or Mazzy Star influenced slower folk pop. Maybe a bit of Trembling Blue Stars in here as well. Instruments focus mostly on reverb drenched vocals and acoustic guitar, with some sort of metronome keeping beat throughout a few of the tracks . The singer has got some interesting vibrato at times, but it doesn't quite fit with the lo-fi nature of the songs. Hmm.. actually, the Shmat thought he sounded quite a bit like Art Garfunkel on the later tracks.
The Shmat has to say, he was not so impressed with the lyrics; they're a little too prosaic for his tastes. "The light rays are catching / Your Rhythm / With Ice / In your vein" sounds even more strained on tape than when read directly. The best song to the Shmat was the Radiohead-like first track "Tokyo Trial". The third song, perhaps aptly named "Star" sounded a little too much like Big Star. "Our Spring, Our Summer" had uncomfortable long pauses and time changes in it. Overall, this tape is not horrible, but the Shmat definitely wouldn't recommend quitting the day jobs just yet.
