In your January 16 edition of your newspaper, you published a letter expressing concerns regarding "smart meters" including perceived health risks.
FortisBC has proposed the installation of advanced meters for its electric customers; however, with regard to human assessments of human safety, FortisBC relies upon the judgment of our public health institutions that regularly review relevant scientific literature. These institutions include the BC Ministry of Health and Health Canada.
In addition, FortisBC is going through a public and transparent regulatory process with the BC Utilities Commission regarding its proposed Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project. This process includes input from customers, including those who have health concerns. Ultimately, the Commission will weigh the evidence and decide whether or not FortisBC can proceed with this project.
Customers wanting more information on our project or to view the expert statements from the public health officials mentioned above can visit fortisbc.com/ami. For more information on the BCUC regulatory process, including extensive evidence regarding the proposed project, please visit bcuc.com.

Please do review the expert evidence submitted to the BC Utilties Commission by 8 independent experts on behalf of the Citizens for Safe Technology's intervention. They provide many resports and studies concerning the health effects from prolonged exposure to RF radiation. They speak about the inadequacy of the guidelines Fortis is hiding behind — Safety Code 6. Fortis's application was turned down by BCUC in 2008 when it wanted to implement the very same program. The Commission in its wisdom said the benefits do not justify the costs and that the technology is too new, and will be too expensive to update. Nothing has changed except the pressure from the govt. has increased. These meters have been proven to have no benefits except to the corporations, to be fire hazards, to increase monthly bills dramatically (even before time of use billing) and to radiate far more than ITRON, Hydro or Fortis admit. Pressure the BCUC to stand firm, as they did before and refuse the application.
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt of the Sophia Health Institute states in a You Tube video that lab reports show everybody is electrosensitive. He says that wireless smart meters are 600 times above the U.S Environmental Protection Agency standards, sending signals up to 190,000 pulses a day, with serious health consequences including high blood pressure, heart palpitations, Alzheimer's, brain tumours and neurological symptoms.
will the bosses from fortis and hydro be personably responible and liable if their is a problem

Recovery time for IPL burns/PIH in asian skin ?!
- burnedinmanchester
- manchester, uk
- Last updated: 6 years ago
I had IPL done 4 days ago for photorejuvenation. Had previously tolerated this for hair removal but was not offered a patch test for the photorejuvenation. The procedure was more painful that I expected and I was shocked to see my face immediately after. There were brown/red bars on my neck and slightly less prominent marks on my face. No blistering occurred post-procedure. Both the technician and unregistered medic stated that this was completely normal and stated I was overreacting. The marks became dark brown/black over the following 24 hours. Returned the next day and they admitted that these were burns but said they would recover completely. I have read quite a few threads and am really worried about PIH. The blackness has started to flake a bit in a few small areas and the skin underneath looks slightly pink. I understand this is likely to become a different colour but was wondering if this is going to be a problem for a few weeks vs a few months. Its been really distressing as I was quite happy with my face before but the clinic suggested photorejuvenation and it sounded pretty good. Hoping my GP can refer me to the burns clinic as it looks like first degree burns on the face and neck. Any information on other people's experience would be really helpful!

Without buyer, Dominion to close Wis. power plant
This undated photo provided by Dominion Resources Inc. shows [auth] the 56-megawatt Kewaunee Power Station in Carlton, Wis. Dominion Resources Inc. announced Monday, Oct. 22, 2012, that it plans to close and decommission Kewaunee Power Station in the second quarter of 2013 after it was unable to find a buyer for the nuclear power plant. Dominion plans to record an after-tax $281 million charge in the third quarter related to the closing and decommissioning of the station. (AP Photo/Dominion Resources Inc)
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Dominion Resources Inc. said Monday that it plans to close and decommission its Kewaunee Power Station in Wisconsin after it was unable to find a buyer for the nuclear power plant. It would be the first such closure since 1998, federal officials said.
The Richmond, Va.-based energy provider said that the 556-megawatt facility in Carlton, Wis., is expected to stop producing power in the second quarter of 2013 and move to safe shutdown status. Dominion plans to record an after-tax $281 million charge in the third quarter related to the closing and decommissioning of the station.
The company had announced plans in April 2011 to sell the facility it purchased from Wisconsin Public Service Corp. and Wisconsin Power & Light Co. in 2005 for $220 million, as part of a strategic review of its assets. Dominion had previously planned to acquire additional plants and build a business around that portfolio.
"This was an extremely difficult decision," Dominion CEO Thomas F. Farrell II said in a news release. "This decision was based purely on economics. Dominion was not able to move forward with our plan to grow our nuclear fleet in the Midwest to take advantage of economies of scale."
Farrell also said Kewaunee's power purchase agreements are ending at a time of projected low wholesale electricity prices in the region.
Still Farrell said Dominion still believes that nuclear energy must play an important part in the nation's energy future. The company operates three other nuclear power stations — Millstone Power Station in Connecticut, as well as North Anna Power Station and Surry Power Station in Virginia.
"The nation will be hard-pressed to meet its energy needs, let alone do so in a secure and affordable manner, without a robust and growing nuclear energy program," he said.
The Wisconsin station that began commercial operation in 1974 will remain under the oversight of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission throughout the process. The NRC says less than 20 commercial nuclear reactors have been permanently shut down, the most recent being Millstone Unit 1 in 1998, before Dominion's 2001 acquisition of the plant.
Dominion plans to meet its obligations to the two utilities that purchase power from the plant through market purchases until the power purchase agreements expire in December 2013.
Kewaunee County Administrator Edward J. Dorner said the plant's closure will mean the county will lose an annual $900,000 in a shared revenue utility tax payment from the state.
Dorner said, with an estimated 400 employees, the plant is one of the county's largest employers.
"It will have a major impact on the landscape in terms of jobs and the state of the economy here," said Dorner, who called the announcement about the plant on the shore of Lake Michigan about 35 miles southeast of Green Bay, "a surprising revelation."
In a statement Monday, Wis. Gov. Scott Walker said the news highlights the need to "decrease unnecessary federal regulations slowing the process for companies, like Dominion, to take advantage of economies of scale and keep their businesses profitable and open."
Dominion is one of the nation's largest producers and transporters of energy and has the nation's largest natural gas storage system. It serves retail customers in 15 states.
Its shares fell 55 cents, or 1 percent, to close at $52.96 Monday. Its shares have fallen 5 percent since hitting a 52-week high of $55.62 in early August. They traded as low as $48.87 in late January.

What's In The Trick Or Treater's Pumpkins?
Tonight is the night that you probably won't recognize your neighbors' kids or maybe even you're own because they'll all be dressed up in their Halloween costumes going door to door saying, "Trick or treat, give me something good to eat!" hoping to get a good haul of candy in their pumpkins!
For a lot of kids across East Texas it is all about getting the candy but every once in a while they'll find something different amongst all the candy. Last year, a co-worker here at the radio station ran out of candy and she became very resourceful and creative in what to put in the kids' candy bags. I'm wondering what's the strangest thing you've ever gotten while trick or treating or what your kids have received while trick or treating. Tell me what it was in the comment section below.
As for myself, I don't recall getting anything really bizarre as a kid, but I do remember getting pencils, erasers and a yo-yo one time, that was cool!
Now, back to the co-worker, I received the picture below from her yesterday saying she was ready for the trick or treaters at her house! Hope you get there before the DumDum suckers and Twizzlers are gone, if not you'll be getting a can of cream style corn!

new guy - help with paint screw ups!!
hello. first off i am by no means a professional. i have painted 6 vehicles over the last 15 years for myself or family. all single color jobs. on my most recent project (1992 ford crewcab dually with a cummins swap) i wanted to get alittle creative. so i designed a 3 color paint scheme. im using Kustom Shop paint from tcpglobal.com. what i am doing is base coating entire truck black. then a solid silver stripe down the middle. on the top side of the truck i layed down a really wet coat of silver and wrinkled it with a plastic sheet. then candy apple red over that, followed by clearing the whole thing. i am having alot of trouble with subsequent coats lifting the previous coat and making a wrinled mess. i dont know if the dry time is my problem or what. when i first did it on the outer surfaces of the truck it went fantastic (thank God). and that was a long setup time to tape off all my graphics. scuffed the whole truck maroon scotchbrite before doing the silver parts. moving on to the doorjambs the black had been setup for a week. i scuffed it with a maroon scotchbrite before shooting the second black base in the doorjambs. dry time was probably too short on that maybe half hour. as soon as i hit it with the silver it lifted the 2nd coat of black. i had to fix the back of the cab. so i wetsanded 320 grit and shot my black base. 2 hours later a light coat of clear thinking maybe that would held. 24 hours later i scuffed the clear and masked off for a silver stripe. soon as i shot the silver on the scuffed clear a very big portion of it lifted. thats where it sits. thank you very much for helping me diagnose this. i know this doesnt qualify as a hotrod but from researching on here i know there are ALOT of very knowledgable painters that can help me out. i am completely self-taught in bodywork and paint so theres alot of potential for errors. thanks again.

NEW YORK – Ever since the first "Tea Party" convention was held last month in Nashville, Tennessee, with Sarah Palin as one of the keynote speakers, America's political and media establishments have been reacting with a combination of apprehension and disdain. The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, has called the Tea Party adherents Nazis, while the mainstream media tend to portray them as ignorant and provincial, a passive rabble with raw emotion but little analytical skill, stirred up and manipulated by demagogues to advance their own agendas.
To be sure, the Tea Party's brand of aggrieved populism – and its composition of mostly white, angry, middle-class voters – has deep roots in the United States, flaring up during times of change. But observers who have drawn comparisons to the Know-Nothings, the racist, paranoid, anti-Catholic, and anti-immigrant party that surged in the 1850's, are reading the movement far too superficially.
Indeed, those who deride and dismiss this movement do so at their peril. While some Tea Partiers may be racist or focused on eccentric themes – such as the validity of Barack Obama's birth certificate – far more of them, those who were part of the original grass-roots effort, are focused on issues that have merit. If you actually listen to them, instead of just reading accounts transmitted through the distorting mirror of the mainstream media, you hear grievances that are profound, as well as some proposals that are actually ahead of their time.
For example, Tea Party activists, using a group called End the Fed, were among the first to focus critical attention on the unelected and unaccountable US Federal Reserve Board. Now legislation is being put forward to establish greater transparency at the Fed – surely a laudable outcome.

Ergonomic Mice & Input Devices
Contour Design RollerMouse Free2
The RollerMouse Free2 – all of the benefits of the RollerMouse PRO2 but a new slimmer design. Winner of the Attendees Choice Award for Best New Product at the 2010 ErgoExpo, this mouse design provides a unique solution to upper body repetitive stress problems that occur with traditional mice.
Health Postures Adjustable Monitor Stands
- Enjoy a Healthy Sit-Stand Workstyle. The real benefit of using the sit-stand workstyle is the freedom of movement. The height-adjustable Computer TaskMate can decrease the severity of discomfort for most upper-body regions, including the shoulders, neck, arms, and hands.
- Changing positions between sitting and standing is easy with the one button control that will quickly adjust the Computer TaskMate. Fatigue and discomfort can now be avoided by being able to stand periodically though out the day without any loss of productivity at work. Your body knows when it is time to move or change positions and the Computer TaskMate will allow you to make these posture changes while staying on task.
- Changing position helps to alleviate back or postural pain.
- Changing from sitting to standing encourages and produces more stretching.
- This variation in movement helps reduce the amount of stress put on the back and promotes blood circulation.
- The sit-stand workstyle help people feel physically comfortable in their work environments. This will then be more likely to generate quality work in a shorter amount of time, and also to have a more positive attitude about their jobs, contributing to better overall workplace morale.
The Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Part Two
Thoracic outlet syndrome cannot be described as one condition but is the agreed name for a variety of symptoms which are explained by being assumed to be due to compression of the blood vessels and nerves as they go through the area called the thoracic outlet. The outlet is made up of a triangle the boundaries of which are the scalene muscles, the first rib and the collar bone or clavicle, through which the nerves and vessels go to get to the axilla and then to the arm. Patient diagnosis is very difficult in this field and little agreement exists about the condition.
The wide variation in signs and symptoms of sufferers with thoracic outlet syndrome and the absence of any test to confirm or deny its presence means that correct diagnoses of patients with thoracic outlet syndrome is difficult. The numbers of people who suffer from this syndrome is as a consequence not clear although it is known that higher numbers of women occur in this group, especially if they have poor muscle tone and posture.
The nerves and blood vessels travel in what is termed a bundle, moving down from the cervical spine and towards the arm, going through three, mostly triangular spaces, on the way. Compression of the bundle can occur in any of the three triangles, which are already small when the arm is by the side, reducing further in size as the arm moves into certain postures. Postures which increase the tightness of the spaces are used as diagnostic tests to figure out which structures are causing the compression and which are being compressed. Doctors and physiotherapists test by placing the limb of the patient in a specific posture known to be stressful and asking them to perform a repeated muscle action such as fist clenching. This heightens the demand on the blood supply or neurological control required.
The repetitive movement of the shoulder towards the ends of its ranges makes the onset of thoracic outlet syndrome more likely, increasingly so if shoulder abduction (moving the arm out to the side) and outward rotation are involved at end ranges. A common occurrence is for swimmers to complain of pain during their stroke and this should raise the suspicion of thoracic outlet problems. Repetitive shoulder movements towards the end of the available movement make this more likely to occur in many sports or activities. Symptoms may present as neurological difficulties or as problems connected with blood supply to the arm.
Thoracic outlet syndrome presents differently due to whether the compressed structures are the blood vessels, the nerves or both together. The level of pain and disability involved can vary from mild to severe, with symptoms continuous or intermittent. The normal presentation groups are one whose symptoms are not clear or specific, the vascular group and the neurological group. Compression of the main vein or artery in the arm does not occur commonly and perhaps most often in young athletes who perform excessive overhead throwing.
If the arterial flow is disrupted the arm can change colour, there can be pain on muscle use due to their not getting enough blood and an overall pain in the hand and the arm. Mild onset is typical as blood can often get round a blockage, but when the block is large patients attend for medical review independently. Thoracic outlet syndrome from neurological compression involves compression of some of the brachial plexus, a nerve crossroads in the neck which supplies the arms. Nerve compression does not usually occur alone but presents with awkwardness holding a ball or a racket and loss of muscle bulk in the small hand muscles.
Neurological compromise may also cause pins and needles or loss of feeling, with some reports of pain but this tends not to be a major issue. Overhead actions with the arm repetitively tend again to be the aggravating factors. The third group is the contentious one, with a large number of patients who complain of pain in the neck, shoulder blade and arm. Often starting after an accident of some type, this kind of pain is not well understood and there is little medical agreement as to whether this is thoracic outlet syndrome or not.
Jonathan Blood Smyth, editor of the Physiotherapy Site, writes articles about %26lt;a href='http://www.thephysiotherapysite.co.uk'%26gt;physiotherapy%26lt;/a%26gt;, physiotherapy, %26lt;a href='http://www.thephysiotherapysite.co.uk/physiotherapy/physiotherapists/uk/london'%26gt;Physiotherapy London%26lt;/a%26gt;, back pain, orthopaedic conditions, neck pain and injury management. Jonathan is a superintendant physiotherapist at an NHS hospital in the South-West of the UK.
Physiotherapy examination starts with the therapist assessing the posture of the patient, often before they have taken any of their clothes off. A rounded or slumped shoulder posture and a poking forward neck and head stretch the neck and shoulder blade muscles and may make this syndrome more likely to occur. Active range of movements of the neck will be examined and any restrictions noted. The neck may be placed in combined positions involving two or more pure movements plus downward pressure in an attempt to bring on symptoms. Range of motion of the shoulders is also assessed.
Examination of the nerves and the blood supply to the arm will normally be performed, with the greatest effects on the nerves and muscles supplied by the lower roots of the brachial plexus. If the veins are being compressed in the vascular type of syndrome then patients turn up with swelling and blueness of the arm. If the arteries are the vessels suffering compression then the arm can be pale, cool and without a pulse or with a very weak one. The blood pressure in the affected arm may be reduced by more than 20mmHg compared to the normal arm.
The neurogenic type of thoracic outlet syndrome presents with wasting and weakness of the hand's small muscle groups, usually involving the thumb. With a reduction in the feeling of the hand supplied by the ulnar nerve this again points to the involvement of the lower group of brachial plexus nerves. The third described group exhibiting the typical symptoms is the non-specific thoracic outlet group, by far the largest, with a more diffuse described pain and examination findings which can be unreliable and hard to pin down.
Thoracic outlet syndrome can be brought on by a large number of neck and shoulder anatomical structures and this is reflected in the numbers of diagnostic tests which have been developed to investigate this problem. A significant problem with these tests is the occurrence of false positive and false negative tests. False negatives mean that the test shows the problem not to be present when it really is and false positives mean the test indicates the tested problem to be present when in reality it is not.
Physiotherapists can perform Roos stress test, whereby the patient is asked to maintain their arms in a position of 'hands up' while they close and open their hands repetitively. The test is positive if it brings on the usual symptoms complained of or if the arms feel tired and heavy. The structures which cause thoracic outlet syndrome can be of bony or soft tissue origin. The compression or obstructive problems can be caused by a bony structure such as a neck rib or a bony growth on the clavicle or ribs. Soft tissue compressive forces can be due to a fibrous band or oversize muscles.
The neck may be more likely to develop thoracic outlet syndrome if it suffers some trauma or mechanical stresses which can combine with any anatomical abnormality such as a cervical rib. If the blood vessels are obstructed then this acute syndrome threatens the health of the arm and surgical release of the compression and blood vessel repair should be urgently considered. The remainder of treatment is conservative including TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), anti-inflammatories and physiotherapy assessment and intervention to the neck and shoulder.
Conservative management is useful in a large group of patients and if the pain does not settle over a considerable period then surgery remains an option. Physiotherapy assessment includes any abnormalities of posture and imbalances in muscles around the shoulder and neck region. The maintenance of static postures for considerable times or repeated return to certain postures may provoke abnormal neck function.
Chronic compression may be caused by the postural abnormality increasing the local compression or tension forces on the nerves. If muscles are kept in shortened positions for lengthy periods they may adopt that new length and when stretched, react with pain. Muscle imbalance can occur with some muscles typically lengthened and thereby weakened and others shortened and thereby strengthened. This leads to an abnormal balance of muscular strength and length, generating abnormal forces in the neck region. Education is a significant matter in the treatment of these patients in an effort to change their posture.

Gilliland To Play U23 National Team Matches in Spain Representing United States
Feb. 24, 2014
LEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Kentucky women's soccer player Arin Gilliland was selected to play on the United States Women's National Team U23 squad in the 2014 calendar-year opening tournament, it was announced by US Soccer in Chicago.
Gilliland was one of 20 players selected by U23 head coach Steve Swanson to compete in the Six Nations Tournament and represent the United States. The Lexington, Ky., native was called in as one of six defenders to make the squad. She joins six forwards, six midfielders and two goalkeepers that comprise the 20-man roster traveling to Spain.
The United States U23 team will play three international matches over the course of the week in the Six Nations Tournament, facing world powers Japan, Sweden and Norway between Feb. 24 and March 6 in La Manga, Spain.
The group of 20 select players includes six players who are headed into their first season in the National Women's Soccer League, and three players who will be returning to the NWSL for its second season. Gilliland is one of three players who come from the Southeastern Conference who were named to the team, as Texas A&M's Shea Groome and former Florida All-American Erika Tymrak made the squad in addition to Gilliland.
Gilliland, recently named an All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, she collected 34 points, scored a career-high 12 goals, assisted on 10 goals, just one shy of the program record, set a new school record in shots with 100, scored three game-winning goals and was named first team All-Southeastern Conference.
Named a team captain in the spring of 2012, the Lexington, Ky., native took the season by storm, serving as one of Kentucky's three team leaders in the fall of 2013. Gilliland played over 1,800 minutes on the pitch for the Wildcats, rewriting the record books in a number of categories.
2014 U-23 Women's Six Nations Tournament – USWNT Schedule
March 1 – United States vs. Japan
March 3 – United States vs. Sweden
March 5 – United States vs. Norway

Review Details
Combo Art Station
Product Review (submitted on June 11, 2013):
I have a 5 year old and a 7 year old, and they are very big into art right now. They especially love drawing and painting. This art station works so well because it has areas on both sides for my kids to work on their art. One side is a standing station where they can paint or draw, and the other side has an area to sit and work, and it also has several shelves. They get along, they get to share, and have a blast while doing it!

Posted by Chenxi Wang on October 21, 2011
After a bit of xml display snafu, my report "Breaking Down Entropy And Passwords" is finally live on the Forrester website.
This report was inspired by a number of customer inquiries that I had recently on mobile password policies. It struck me that few IT organizations actually understood the fundamental rationale behind password policies - length and complexity of passwords, number of password retries, and password lifetime. This is perhaps because we take user passwords, one of the most basic security controls, for granted, and hence don't think about it too deeply. Because it is such a prevalent security control, and because many organizations don't have much beyond user passwords, it is high time we understand why we set a particular password policy and whether that works for our particular risk profile.
So I set out to write this report - trying to describe the theoretical underpinnings of password properties. For example, if you require that your mobile users use a 6-digit PIN to access their mobile phones, do you know how many PIN fail-retries you should permit but still achieve NIST level one authentication? What about a 6-character alphanumeric password?

Nearly 20 pieces of statuary and hardware from Billboard, ACM, and CMT honor his country tunes, each song anchored by his rich, mahogany drawl. On 2012's Night Train, Aldean grew a bit more adventurous, tip-toeing into southern-rock territory on "Take a Little Ride" and even trying his hand at novelty hip-hop on "1994." Live, he alternates between rambunctious partier and pensive troubadour, stomping the stage floor during the rockers and sobbing into his drummer's shoulder during the ballads.
Kelly Clarkson
In the decade since Kelly Clarkson was crowned the winner of the first season of American Idol, she's put out four albums and racked up four Grammys, two AMAs, and two MTV Video Music Awards. Entertainment Weekly placed her on its list of 30 Greatest Music Artists Right Now not only for her pop prowess but because "she makes her own rules," branching out into country sounds and serving as a guest mentor on The Voice. Her own voice slashes and soars through her anthemic breakout-breakup hit "Since U Been Gone," and the resilience and maturity gained from a decade in the sometimes-harsh public eye peek through her 2012 chart-topper "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)."
Ivy League Baseball Club
Ivy League Baseball Club believes the best seats in the house aren't necessarily behind home plate. In fact, in the case of Wrigley Field, they might not even be in the house. Instead, they're across the street on one of five levels, where fans sink into extra-wide cushioned stadium seats to watch the action from just beyond the center of right field. Like beauty, or a housebroken goat, the fans might be either inside or outside. If they're wandering the three indoor lounges, which double as spots to host corporate meetings or group events, they'll enjoy audio-visual equipment and a full-service bar stocked with 16 draft beers. On the rooftop, as many as 205 baseball fans wander a large deck area with food service, luxury restrooms, and a heated bar. Just below, a second outdoor seating area hosts 40 shaded seats and outdoor plasma televisions that show slow-motion replays of players making diving catches or tripping streakers.

"my daughter and I both loved these! I had them overnighted cause I was last minute and they came a day early! Her classmates thought she had the best one! LovE LOVE! Can't wait to do these again next V-day"
"I was very impressed with the quality of this card. My son was so excited to have his picture and name on the card. He is really looking forward to giving these out on Valentine's Day."
"My daughter is a Minecraft junkie and has Autism and poor handwriting skills. By getting these unique, fun, personalized Valentines she will have less writing to do, just the envelopes. And what 5th grader is not obsessed with Minecraft? These cards are small and vibrant and you can't really find Minecraft valentines elsewhere. I hope that the kids in her class will be impressed and more accepting of her. These cards are keepers!!"
"I LOVE THIS ONE!!!! When they came I didn't realize they were so small but they worked perfectly for what I wanted them for. it was LOVE LOVE LOVE at first sight."
"I purchased these for my 3-yr-old son to give at preschool. I changed the "from" text to red, and changed the font to one with a more handwritten look. These are printed on a nice heavy cardstock, and the colors are suitable for boys or girls to give. Very happy! Note that the size is tiny, I didn't pay attention to the dimensions."

PRESENTATION: Children's English Education @ Happonmatsu Shimin Centre
I did a presentation today for parents (mothers) of young children today on the topic of English education for children. The presentation was in Japanese, and I had a lovely group of people who seemed interested and asked good questions.
Here are my slides, cryptic as ever: 160706 Children Learning English
The questions at the end were submitted by participants prior to the event, which was a really nice touch as it gave me a chance to get my answers ready 🙂
Let me know if anything is unclear in the comments below!

Charles Browne and the New General Service List
Vocabulary is the key to language
Yeah, not this Charlie Brown. Or this one.
I saw this great TEDx talk by Charles Browne the other day. I know his work, have heard him speak several times at conferences, and have even had a chat a few times, but this talk pulled everything together for me. You may know his work at Word Engine, English Central, or ER-Central (all very close to my heart). He's talking about the importance of vocabulary and his new New General Service List of common English words for learners.
Well worth twelve minutes of your time!

OTWS Sendai Presentation Summary and Slides
I really enjoyed my presentation yesterday on the 30th floor of the AER Building in Sendai. The views were amazing and I am kicking myself for not getting some photos.
To make it up for you, here is a photo of the four presenters
I talked about starting reading programs, specifically:
- My dream, which is to see decent English ER programs in public schools
- Reasons for starting a program: some students love it, effectiveness as language study, can be a USP for a school
- Foundations of a reading program: songs and chants, phonics, good communication with parents, and reading in class
- Overview of a reading program: goals, money, materials, methods, and administration
- Some advice: have students read in class, get a wide range of books, don't compare students to each other, don't ask if students understood a book but whether they enjoyed it, and don't expect quick results
- Further reading: Kunihide Sakai and Akio Furukawa
You can see my slides here:[Sendai OTWS reading program for young learners] and get in touch by email or with a comment below.
I'll be doing this presentation in Omiya on March 6th, then that will be my last teaching presentation for a while.

500 Club (6/23)
Time to bang the Thursday drum! Hey, it's the 500 Club!
Write 500 words in response to one (OR BOTH) of the prompts below.
Post your brand new shiny flash fiction on your blog.
Paste the opening lines in the comments below, and link back to where we can read the rest of your story.
If you don't have a blog but still want to play along, paste the 500 words into the flibbertygibbet over there in the right-hand column. —>
Today's prompts are inspired by Life in a Medieval City by Joseph and Frances Gies, which is chock full of fascinating stuff and is a must for any aspiring fantasist.
1. I feel fine. I think I'll go for a walk.
In 1250 A.D., people at death's door would give away all their money to receive extreme unction, better known today as Last Rites. Should a person recover after receiving his Last Rites, "he must fast perpetually, go barefoot, and never again have intercourse with his wife." Write a story about a person who has received his Last Rites. Set it in any time you please, no need to stay medieval.
2. Trust Your Doctor.
A medieval medical text advises doctors, "If you unfortunately visit a patient and find him dead, and they ask you why you came, say you knew he would die that night, but want to know at what hour he died." Write a story about a person with the precognitive ability to know the hour of a loved one's death. Who is the doomed person? Can the doctor arrive in time to save them?

Advertisers on Rupert's Dow Jones/News Corp dealBurt Helm
As part of our ongoing coverage, I wanted to find out what advertisers think of News Corp's proposed Dow Jones Company acquisition.
The consensus seems to be the same: ad buyers are enticed by what could become some of the best one-stop shopping on Madison Avenue (or, technically, 6th avenue). But they're also not holding their breath that News Corp have the will or the ability to unify their many ad sales staffs any time soon.
When I spoke with MindShare Chicago's Maggie Knoll yesterday, she told me she had mixed feelings. She buys print ads for clients like BP. With access to over 170 newspapers, highly-rated TV stations, a newswire, MySpace, and the 2nd biggest paper in the country, she said News Corp/Dow Jones "could present us with a unique opportunity in terms of reach. But will they bring us custom packages? or decide each entity is strong enough on its own?" Plus, she said, "You worry if they will maintain the journalistic integrity of the Wall Street Journal. Murdoch has made his own changes with other properties in the past." Pam Zucker, who looks at cross-platform deals for the likes of UBS and Capital One over at MediaVest, said she thought it would take "at least 18 months" for News Corp to actually start offering real advantages. Zucker said she thinks News Corp has done a better job approaching marketers with a unified offering than some of the other media companies. Still, she says "I don't know if this is going to work or not work. There are major barriers."

I am getting a noise from the engine bay when it is cold that just started as the weather has turned cooler here in Denver The noise goes away when the car is completely warm. Dealer says it is power steering pump. It is coming from something (aren't I very technical?) left front near the top just to the right of the power steering fluid res. Dealer wants $900.00 to replace. Anybody can offer any advice?

Hopefully that little insanity will be rectified, once they all see how ridiculously cumbersome and impossible to comply with the patchwork quilt of conflicting ordinances will be. And, if there's no prohibition against new ordinances passing, you can bet the first thing every two-bit city council is going to do is pass a whole array of anti-gun criminalizations.Originally Posted by From the article
Anyway. In ~60 days they're required to begin approving training programs/instructors; and within 90 days of applications they're required to approve/deny CHL applications. So, starting in ~5mos, we should start seeing our first lawful carriers in Illinois.
Hopefully folks will take heavy note of the use-of-force statutes. It'd be nice if the legislature took a hard look at that, as well, within the next few months. Everyone's going to need to come to grips with the simple fact that upstanding citizens are going to be using deadly force against a large number of previously-sacrosanct violent felons within the state. LE and DA's will need to understand that the use-of-force and firearms statutes allow defense of life, and that merely being the one left standing doesn't equate to be guilty of a darned thing. We'll see.
Congratulations, Illinois citizens!

McKeesport apartment fire displaces 7 adults, 1 child
Seven adults and one child were assisted with food and shelter by the American Red Cross after being displaced by an apartment fire in McKeesport.
City fire Chief Kevin Lust said no injuries were reported in connection with the blaze Monday at 2:45 a.m. at 918 Union St.
The fire is believed to have originated from a bathroom in one of the four apartments.
Lust said he could not confirm which apartment. The Allegheny County Fire Marshal is investigating.
Firefighters quickly put out the fire but residents were displaced because electricity had to be cut to the entire building, Lust explained.
Tia Como said she could smell smoke from her residence a couple buildings away from the apartment and went to check on her friends in that building.
"That's when I came out of the house and went over there," she said. "We were all over there sitting on the wall. It was horrible. I guess they put everybody in the building in a hotel. We're buddies."
Como said she also gave some of them clothing and a blanket.
A black-and-white cat belonging to people in the apartment could not go to the hotel. Como said she fed the cat and it has taken residence on the porch of a nearby abandoned home.
Emergency responders cleared the scene at 6:27 a.m.

Mumbai: Many of you may consider that Tanu Weds Manu is very unlikely to do so well while foreign audience is concerned. However, it appears that we will see this romantic comedy also in the German version very soon. From what we have been able to find out, a delegation from Germany has arrived in Mumbai the past week. The main purpose of their trip was to see the new festive super hit of tinsel town.
Being so impressed by the B-town romantic flick, they decided to do a German version of this movie production. Rumors all over the industry are that the German version of the project is in the works.
The director Aanad Rai said in a recent interview that "It was a group of students of Comparative Cinema from the University of Regensburg in Bavaria, Germany. My colleague fellow-filmmaker Hansal Mehta sent these students to me. I was surprised that they wanted to see Tanu Weds Manu, and even more surprised at the way they responded to the film."

Even afterward, at least one senior Republican aide predicted that 40 to 50 Democrats would support the Upton bill.
Mercedes-Benz "leaked" its own commercial of Upton and its new CLK ... in slow motion.
The video became a viral sensation, racking up tens of millions of views on YouTube, and Upton was invited to the Today show.
As Roitfeld told us of Upton: "I wanted someone with a sensual body, someone who could be a mother for all these babies."
If Upton had a real chance of becoming law, I'd bet a number of those 39 would have voted no.
"I think it was pretty rough, Mr. Upton, to penalize him for an unintentional foul," said Morrill.
I worked in Upton years ago, and there weren't any Bensons there then.
You know what happened the miller's son, no further off than Upton.
In the meantime Mr. Upton ran after the boys who had been holding Jerry.
Has this sudden notion of yours anything to do with Sheila Macrae, Upton?

They're such loving parents to their daughter Naleigh, and Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley recently added another girl to their brood.
The "Grey's Anatomy" star and her rocker hubby named their new baby Adalaide Marie Hope, according to their rep.
Enjoying their family blessings, Tinseltown moms made the most of the Mother's Day holiday yesterday (May 13).
Celebrating all of the ladies that give so much of themselves to provide the best lives that they possibly can for their children, Hollywood's stars join all those around the world in expressing the extreme gratitude to all of the moms out there on this Mother's Day holiday.
Keeping things short and sweet, Justin Bieber took to Twitter this morning while posting a heartfelt message reading, "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!"
Not afraid to show a little skin, a mid-driff bearing Katherine Heigl was spotted heading to the gym in Los Angeles, California this afternoon (May 11).
The "Knocked Up" star strutted in black yoga pants and an unzipped grey jacket that revealed her flat stomach and bright yellow sports bra.
Getting into the crafting spirit, Katherine Heigl was spotted buying fabric and a sewing machine in Encino, CA on Wednesday afternoon (May 9).
Looking ready for spring while matching her green purse to her earrings and wedges, the "Knocked Up" actress took some advice from her mother, Nancy, as the pair shopped around for bright printed fabrics.
Getting in some mother-daughter bonding time during her always crazy schedule, Katherine Heigl and her mom Nancy enjoyed an afternoon lunch date at Miceli's in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday (May 8).
The "Knocked Up" beauty channeled Marilyn Monroe as she sported short curly blonde locks while rocking an all white ensemble as she made her way out the back exit of the restaurant.
Enjoying an afternoon of lunch and shopping, Katherine Heigl was spotted out on the town in Los Angeles on Friday (May 4).
Looking quite chic, the former "Grey's Anatomy" star donned a striped three-quarters sleeve top, black trousers and matching ballet flats while grabbing a bite to eat at House Cafe before joining her mom on a quest for fabric at Silk in Beverly Hills.
They've really taken a shine to parenting, and now Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley have welcomed a second child into their family.
The former "Grey's Anatomy" actress and her rocker hubby, who adopted their daughter Naleigh from South Korea in 2009, are thrilled to add to their number, though there aren't any other details.

However, if you're used to dealing with the "other guys," we understand that you may have questions. So we've compiled some of the most common things our representatives are asked about our home phone service.
Click on a question to jump to the answer below.
- Pricing & Features
- Tech & Customer Service
- Taxes and Fees
What does home phone service include?
Our home phone service includes unlimited local and long distance calling to the continental United States, as well as a long list of calling features (see below). All taxes and fees are included, so your monthly bill is easy to understand and never changes.
What additional features are available?
These features are all automatically included with your phone service:
- Voicemail
- Distinctive Ring
- Busy Redial (*66)
- Call Forward Busy
- Call Forwarding
- Call Return (*69)
- Selective Call Accept (*64)
- Selective Call Forward (*63)
- VIP Alert
- Caller ID Block
- Anonymous Call Rejection
- Selective Call Reject
If you'd like to activate any of these features, or need help setting them up, please give us a call at 573-817-0000.
How long will I be under contract?
With Socket's home phone service, you won't be! We also don't charge cancellation fees - we think customer service should keep our customers with us, not financial penalties.
Can I keep my phone number?
Absolutely! However, to make the transition as easy as possible, please do not cancel your current service until the phone number has been transferred to Socket. While other companies would not do so maliciously, starting a cancellation order, even for a future date, can delay or prevent us from accessing your number.
In some cases, you may be asked to provide an account number or port-out pin from your old phone provider as well.
Is it a "real" phone line?
Our phone service is a traditional POTS line (that's short for "Plain Ol' Telephone Service"). It's run over the same standard copper phone lines most other carriers use.
In select service areas, we're also able to offer phone service over direct, fiber-to-the-home lines. This service, from the user end, works exactly like the regular phone service - you'll still use the same phone jacks and handsets that you do with your current provider.
What additional fees will I have to pay?
All monthly taxes and surcharges are already built right into your package, so there's no surprises on your bill. We also don't offer "intro pricing" or graduated pricing plans, so there's no worries about your bill changing from month to month, either.
What are the equipment fees that might not be included in service prices?
You'll have to provide your own handsets, but that's it. Our fiber-to-the-home packages include a battery backup, but that's also included in the package pricing.
What's the installation process like?
We do most of the work on the back end without you needing to be home. In some cases, we may need access to your NID (it's a small utility box, usually on the back or side of your home). However, as long as we have access to the property, you don't need to be present.
What kind of Customer Support will I have with my services?
All of our representatives and techs live and work right here in Missouri. So when you call us for support, you'll be speaking to someone local in a timely manner. We don't like to keep our customers waiting any more than they enjoy being on hold.
Will new lines and equipment be installed?
No. We use existing phone lines to provide services, but we may install a modem or router to provide Internet.
Will there be any downtime when transferring providers?
Usually, yes. It's often as little as 15 minutes, however it may sometimes last longer. In the event that you need to cancel your current services with another provider immediately, we'll do all we can to get you up again in as little time as possible.
Will Socket assist with inside wiring problems?
While we would love to be able to, we need to focus on bringing service to all our customers. Our dispatch charges for internal wiring issues are $60 per hour. We find that many personal electricians can work for less, and as a smaller local company, we want to encourage the support of local businessmen & women.
What kind of taxes and fees are included in the prices?
All of them. You won't have any surprises on your bill with Socket. Here are some examples of how the taxes break down in different service locations and an explanation of what each of the taxes actually are.
- Federal Excise Tax
- City Franchise/License Tax
- City/County E911 Tax
- Missouri Universal Service Fund
- Federal Universal Service Fund

Rainbow Roller

This pocket-sized rainbow colored die will turn that antsy wait into a happier delay, while creating a wonderful learning opportunity. All you have to do: Grab it and Roll. Try to find something around you the same color as what this rainbow colored block reveals. Take turns rolling. See who can find the matching item the fastest. This unstructured toy lends itself to an endless array of gaming possibilities. Let your little one's imagination lead the way to learning and play!
Turn any of our colorful play sets into a game with the Rainbow Roller! (Play Sets listed under the "Toys" heading in the shop.)
This listing is for ONE 1.5" cube. Each of the six sides has been hand stamped and hand painted with a nontoxic, soy based pigment. The cube is then lightly sealed in an organic beeswax and jojoba oil.
Thoughtfully Designed
All of my creations were made with your little one in mind. Each piece was designed to nurture child development through open-ended play. These pieces can be used to broaden your little one's understanding and knowledge of our world and were created as early educational toys. I am inspired by the teachings of Montessori; the natural beauty of Waldorf; and incorporate a myriad of other learning-through-play philosophies when I design. It makes me smile to see my made-with-love pieces being toted for use as preschool toys and in natural play settings. Thank you for helping me support little minds, bodies, and imaginations through engaging, hands-on play and discovery.
Sensory Based Learning
Mama May i believes little ones make sense of their world through sensing our world. That's why you will find all of our designs offer a variety of tactile learning-through-play opportunities. We use a myriad of different textures and surfaces intertwined to make the most of every little play-and-learn time you share.
Kid Tested, Mama Approved
My own little ones have the wonderfully engaging job of "product testers". They are my inspiration for new products as well as my initial testing market. I don't add things to the product line that aren't played with and loved first at home.
Mama May i strives to reduce the impact of our products on the environment and your little one. We avoid the use of harsh chemicals and varnishes and instead, use plant based pigments, and organic beeswax to finish our wooden playthings. We use mostly untreated Poplar, Maple, and Oak that is locally sourced. We know how important your little one's safety is and we won't sell anything we wouldn't let our own little ones enjoy.

From Our Editors
Wheely Clean Car Wash's family of facilities keeps Cleveland-area rides looking their best. Engineered by trained attendants, each wash uses environmentally friendly products, and begins with a hand steam that preps outer surfaces for a cleaning and releases any stubborn paint wrinkles. Vehicles then freely roll through the sudsy process, which includes free vacuuming in Parma or the option for detailing services in Northfield. Wheely Clean also operates as a discrimination-free business, meaning owners never pay more when a full-size SUV, van, or giraffe's limo needs a scrub.

Carolina (20-2, 6-1 ACC) needed a tiebreak in the deciding doubles match to take the always-important first point of the day. The two teams split a pair of relatively one-sided matches on courts one and two before the Tar Heels mounted an incredible comeback on court three.
Miami (15-4, 6-2 ACC) raced out to a 6-2 lead and looked poised to win its 10th straight doubles point after an 8-0 win on court two. But the UNC tandem of Gina Suarez-Malaguti and Tessa Lyons spoiled a number of Hurricane match points and ultimately forced a tiebreak. Fittingly, the two hour match would go beyond the necessary distance, with Suarez-Malaguti and Lyons prevailing, 11-9, to seal the point.
The Hurricanes responded in singles with a quick point from Melissa Bolivar on court six, but the top of the Carolina lineup proved too strong for the hosts.
No. 42 Price restored the Tar Heel lead with her 19th consecutive singles win. After moving up to court three for the first time in league play, the Buford, Ga., sophomore dismissed No. 81 Kelsey Laurente in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1.
No. 7 Suarez-Malaguti then made it 3-1 with an impressive 6-3, 6-3 victory over No. 79 Stephanie Wagner on court one. The native of nearby Pembroke Pines, Fla., won her sixth straight singles match and her fourth in a row over a ranked opponent to improve to 11-4 in dual match play and 5-1 in the ACC.
Just as she has so often in 2013, Kay provided the knockout blow to seal the overall win. After edging Monique Albuquerque in a tight opening set, the Alpharetta, Ga., freshman dropped just one game in the second set to win, 7-5, 6-1, and give Carolina its 20th win of the year.
Miami got its second point of dual on court five as No. 121 Clementina Riobueno topped Lauren McHale in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. With the overall match already decided, No. 48 Zoe De Bruycker and Lina Lileikite decided their No. 2 singles match with a third-set match tiebreak, and De Bruycker prevailed, 3-6, 6-2, 10-8.
Carolina will now travel across the state to Tallahassee to take on No. 30 Florida State Sunday at noon. The Seminoles fell to No. 9 Duke, 4-3, on Friday.
No. 1 North Carolina 5, No. 10 Miami 2
1. #52 Whitney Kay/Caroline Price (NC) def. #39 Lina Lileikite/Stephanie Wagner (UM), 8-4

Brendan Healy & John Miles
Hi there. I am aware that the late great Brendan Healy played at the Cellar Club with John Miles probably in the 90's. Does anyone recall this or have any information about the actual timing? Cheers
