OS has two very bad connections from Helsinki if one is connecting to the Bangkok flight – one in the morning and another in the afternoon. I took the morning one as it meant I didn't have to take a bus to the airport with one transfer and a travelling time of about 3 hours. Was dropped off at the airport at around 6.45am, and made my way to SAS Self Service machines. Just to learn they won't work for OS flights... neither does OS web check-in from HEL. Thankfully the SK lady manning the helpdesk for the machines proceeded to check me in, so I didn't have to queue at the regular counters.
Off to the SAS lounge, refused access as they claimed same day C class boarding pass for OS25 is not enough for access. I disagree, but he let me in after I showed a printout of my TG account indicating ROP Gold status (no card at that point yet). The lounge was very quiet despite this being Monday morning. I had some sandwiches and a cup of tea for breakfast.
OS348 was using a bus gate as usual, and the aircraft was parked near Finnair's maintenance hangars. I was behind the exit row on VIE-HEL, but this time in front of it (11C). Huge difference in legroom, 11C was bearable while 17C on the VIE-HEL was completely unbearable. We were pushed back on time and took off from 22R a few minutes later as there was no queue.
Service started soon after takeoff, OS is back to hot meals on these flights but these gourmet creations are not much to talk about. Meals were double catered in VIE, have fun eating these breakfasts when they have sat onboard all night in the summer months...
Service underway in Y
Tiny hot breakfast HEL-VIE
Had some Coke and water as well – the former was likewise opened on VIE-HEL the previous night and I might have just as well handed it right back. Disgusting. For those interested, they serve two alcoholic drinks and you can't even pay for more. Absolutely appalling for an airline that charged me over 1000 EUR for this Y-class BKK-HEL-BKK ticket.
It took me about 3 minutes to finish the tiny breakfast, and I slept the rest of the way to Vienna.
Vienna Lounges
I first went to the Schengen side Senator Lounge – not a single vacant seat to be found, so I left for the Business Lounge nearby. It's very large and newly renovated, I went to the "panoramic view" area and managed to get one of the sleeper chairs there. Comfortable and a nice view. The food is excellent too, some soup, pasta salad and beef stew was available for lunch. Good selection of drinks too, including Baileys and some decent sparkling wine.
Schengen OS Business Lounge
Buffet area
I later went to the Senator Lounge in the non-Schengen area, equally packed, but it had excellent dinner available. Sirloin steak with creamy garlic potatoes – top notch for lounge food. Some vintage sparkling wine was available as well – those were the only differences to the Business Lounges that I noticed. The Senator lounge later closed and I went upstairs to the non-Schengen Business Lounge.

Boarding pass
OS25 was leaving from A2 this evening, and I went to the gate rather late knowing they have security screening there. No lineup, but the plane wasn't boarding either. The guy made a note I should go to the business class area, but it was roped off and nobody made any effort to get me there. So I went to the desk and a woman let me in, looking like I had inconvenienced her somehow.
Boarding started at around 11pm, and it was obvious the load in the back was very low this evening. My seat was in the second row, 2D.
View from my seat
Pre-departure drinks were only offered once most passengers had settled in – warm sparkling wine. I absolutely hate this LH and apparently OS policy to serve some cheapo piss on the ground as they're too cheap to pay the tax on some decent stuff. No refills were offered, very robotic service like in LH's large business class cabins. Amenity kits and menus were handed out as well. The Austrian Sky Spa kit is a bright yellow bag with decent contents – some lip balm, moisturizer, eye mask, earplugs, socks etc. The menu also had a breakfast order card attached – I filled it out and handed back to the crew.
Pre-departure sparkling wine
We were pushed back on time, and took off shortly thereafter. I was getting really tired by now after the day in Vienna, but really wanted to try the meal service. Here's the menu.
I tried to find some decent music to listen to, but unfortunately the IFE system is non-AVOD, actually I think it was the exact same as Lauda had when I flew VIE-KUL-SYD on OE-LPA. Meal service started somewhere over Hungary. No pre-meal cocktails or snacks.
The meal choices sounded excellent, still catered by DO&CO like back in the Lauda days. No trays used for the dinner service, individual table setup like in most first classes.
Table setup and canapes
Prawn appetizer
Banana split
A specialty coffee service followed (a menu was handed out, I seem to have misplaced it)
The food was absolutely fantastic, I should have skipped some steaks in the Senator Lounge! Unfortunately the Duval Leroy champagne was totally warm... The onboard chef provided great service wearing his Lauda "Service is Our Success" uniform, but some of the ladies, especially the purser, seemed totally disinterested. I don't know how the OS longhauls are crewed, but it seemed too obvious who was ex-NG and who was from OS.
The seats are same as Finnair, and frankly I don't like them one bit. First, who on their right mind would install lie flats aka ski slopes on their planes when BA comes up with their second fully flat product? Second, they're in 2-3-2 config and the cabin feels cramped. I couldn't sleep at all in the flat mode, the seat is too short and I didn't feel comfortable with my feet confined in that small space. The "relax" position was ok, but completely defeats the purpose of these seats as this position is about what one can achieve with old style cradle seats. I managed to sleep in that position and woke up as breakfast service was starting.
Breakfast tray
Nice eggs
One could choose the side dishes, I took the cold cuts and yoghurt, the main dish, and how the eggs should be prepared. Very nice breakfast, although they never provided the hot chocolate I ordered with the same order slip.
We started our descent a little after passing Yangon, and the cabin was prepared for landing. Apart from the HON in 1A, everybody was asked to put seats upright and headsets were collected. Too early in my opinion, but in line with that LH's robotic service of a large business class cabin. We landed at Suvarnabhumi in time, I cleared immigration quickly and got my bag. Then off to the madhouse called arrivals hall... These idiots said the taxi touts would be taken care of – result is there are even more of them. Man how I hate this airport, more and more each time. Never mind one can't get taxis from the arrivals level – nice to rip off tourists and direct them to some corrupt AOT Limousine service. Appalling.
The food on OS Business was superb, otherwise a very average business class product. Senator/Star Gold lounges in Vienna are way too small. A big minus for the booking process – I booked online and BKK was unable to issue the etix as they were closed. I called OS Internet support and they advised me they will charge the fare in EUR. Sure, no problem. But these idiots charged a ticket service charge of EUR 45 on top of that without telling me.
Hope you enjoyed.

coyote that is a swell ROTJ!
The mid-ohio con this year 2008 is in October - 25 and 26 I think. IT's in Columbus - at the convention center. (at least it was last year) It is a good show. I had a table set up for the release of our comic book (shattered Glass Comics). I got a great shot of someone in a fett suit with Zena who was with us. Great show and I'm going to be there with our table AND my new Fett Costume.
So you're saying they found someone to take over the con? Might I ask your source? Plus did you mean, 25-26?
Yeah, 25 and 26. (wasn't looking at a calander) I got an email from them about a month ago announcing when it was. Like a dope, I deleted it.
Roger Price, the owner of the production company that runs the con, has retired and is selling it off. No one, as of yet, has bought it. I spoke with my contact about 2 weeks ago on what the outlook was for the con this year and he said it didnt look good. I havent heard those dates from him yet but can check again.
I really would like it to still happen.
oooopppps! My Bad!:confused
The Fett is me. I don't remember getting the pic taken, but you can tell Zena that Boba said she is a cutie. :love
she's single too....
when theres one near detroit can some one tell me
Good news
They have a new promoter, and was moved up to Oct 4-5.

Accused dancer argued with Bolshoi director, demanded roles: witness
By Maria Tsvetkova
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A dancer accused of plotting an acid attack on the Bolshoi ballet's artistic director argued with the victim of his over his management style, saying he acted like a king, a Moscow court heard on Tuesday.
The poisonous backstage rivalries that may have led to the January 17 attack were illuminated in court as director Sergei Filin's assistant testified about the arguments at the trial of dancer Pavel Dmitrichenko and two co-defendants.
"He (Dmitrichenko) said ... 'Is this a kingdom now? Are you our king?'," Dilyara Timergazina told the court. "Filin was of course very angry."
Dmitrichenko, 29, who has denied any role in the attack on the 43-year-old Filin, argued with him over roles, she said, and objected to his plan to punish members of the ballet corps who did not attend morning classes by reducing their grant money.
"Dmitrichenko demanded principal roles," Timergazina said. "He also demanded the role of Odette-Odile for the actress Anzhelina Vorontsova, his partner.
"These demands were not fulfilled."
The attack left Filin writhing in agony in the snow and has forced him to have more than 20 operations to try to save his sight and repair the damage to his face.
It also damaged the reputation of one of Russia's leading cultural institutions, revealing the bitter rivalries behind the scenes. Continued...

How Thai Food Is Able To Help You Lose Weight
Thai food is wealthy in raw and salad veggies. A salad is the perfect foodstuff in a diet. Even so, dieters sometimes make the mistake of concealing it in salad dressing. The sensible course of action might really be to constantly have the salad dressing on the side. It is possible to dip the tip of your fork inside prior to taking a morsel of salad. Therefore giving you adequate flavor from the dressing without fretting about the further calories from fat. Or, you can only choose to forget about the dressing for the most part.boise sushi
Your food doesn't need to fill the entire plate. The stark reality is, it is best to give yourself smaller portions. It often can assist on an emotional level should you choose a smaller menu to start with. Then, once you fill your plate, the portions sizes already are more streamlined.
Vegetables should use up at least half of your plate. The average man inside USA doesn't automatically eat more than enough greens. In Thailand and south-east Asia, it is the reverse. It is possible to stock up on vegetables without the need of feeling guilty given that fresh fruit and vegetables typically are lower in calories and fat. Start with eating your fresh veggies first.
The most wholesome system to cook your meal is by steaming. This saves the nourishment in the foods. Additional cooking strategies, like boiling and frying usually rob some the nutritional elements from foods. Frying also offers extra fat to the food, therefore it is not an preferably suitable approach to prepare. Flavor the food with not salt and herbs and spices.
Think of eating on vegetarian dishes at very least once a week. This will likely lessen the oleaginous calories that you just obtain from meat. Thai foods is rich in vegetables and seasoning. These vegetables contain bamboo shoots, cucumber, tomato and orange grass. Mastering seasoning is essential when transitioning to healthier options.
Milk can be very wholesome, even so it might be unhealthy. Dairy has the greatest fat content, adopted by 2%, then 1%. If you need milk, go to skim milk. You have identical degrees of nutrients without the necessity of all the fat.
Divide your snacks into little containers beforehand. This way, whenever you have got a craving for a bite, you've set quantity to consume. This is a good choice to moderate your attraction of wanting to stuff on a snack food. When we look to the southern European diet, we see Tapas and other similar versions. This is really a great alternative.
Before you eat any dinner, drink water. Water fills up your gut for the moment, providing you a full feeling. Once you eat your meal, you definitely will tend to consume less foods for that sense of fullness.
Restaurant foods consist of a substantial amount of salt and fat, and the servings are usually adequate for 2 people. It is advisable to keep restaurant trips to a minimum. Rather, cook more in the home... Or just dine in Thai restaurants!
So while we can not all afford Thai caterers to serve us the most wholesome alternatives. Knowing where you could skim off calories is a superb way to shed unwanted weight. Incorporate these strategies in your diet, and watch for pounds to disappear.

The Franconia Range is a mountain range located in the White Mountains of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. It is the second-highest range of peaks (after the Presidential Range) in the White Mountains.
Franconia Ridge is a prominent ridge which forms the backbone of the range, stringing together all of its major summits.
From north to south, the highest summits of the range include:
• Mount Lafayette 5,249 feet (1,600 m) * • Mount Truman[1] 5,000 feet (1,500 m) • Mount Lincoln 5,089 feet (1,551 m) * • Little Haystack Mountain 4,780 feet (1,460 m) • Mount Liberty 4,459 feet (1,359 m) * • Mount Flume 4,328 feet (1,319 m) *
The summits marked with an asterisk (*) are included on the Appalachian Mountain Club's peak-bagging list of "Four-thousand footers" in New Hampshire.
The Franconia Range hosts the third largest connected area of alpine tundra in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains, only surpassed by the Presidential Range and the Katahdin massif.[2]
Approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) along the crest of the ridge is in the alpine zone. This area runs from the treeline just below the summit of Little Haystack all the way to the treeline north of Mount Lafayette, and affords constant 360-degree views of the White Mountains. To the east of the ridge lies the rugged and uninhabited Pemigewasset Wilderness.
While Mount Liberty and Mount Flume are almost entirely forested, their summits rise just above the treeline, and provide spectacular views.
The Franconia Ridge Trail, which coincides with the Appalachian Trail from Mount Lafayette to Mount Liberty, traverses the ridge over all the aforementioned mountains.
A popular hike dubbed the Franconia Ridge Loop is an 8.9 miles (14.3 km) loop which includes the majority of the above-treeline portion of the ridge. This loop is very strenuous, with a cumulative gain of over 3,900 feet (1,200 m), but extremely rewarding in good weather as it traverses the rocky cones of Little Haystack Mountain, Mount Lincoln, and Mount Lafayette. This loop involves the Falling Waters Trail, the Franconia Ridge Trail, the Greenleaf Trail, and the Old Bridle Path.
The exposed nature of the ridge and the changeable weather of the White Mountains make it a more dangerous hike than it may appear. Injuries and even fatalities from falls and exposure are not uncommon.[citation needed] One man died after he and a companion were trapped February 11, 2008, by fast-moving winter weather.[3]

Help Your Kids Phone Home
ARTICLE DATE : December 23, 2005
Little people need cell phones, too. Phones for kids help assure parents that their children are safe and help smooth the schedules of today's over-scheduled families. With a cell phone, you can let your 7-year-old walk to school knowing she can call 911 at any time, and ensure that your 9-year-old will be able to call if she's going to be late at soccer practice.
Kids' phones have some unique requirements. They have to be tough enough to bounce around a playground, cute enough to look like a toy and restrictive enough so parents can be sure they're only talking to pre-approved adults. Phone manufacturers have been talking for years about GPS-phones that would also let parents track their kids' whereabouts, like the Wherifone proposed by Wherify Wireless, but no tracker-phone has yet come to market in the US.
As kids get older, their needs change. Tweens will want more fully-functioning phones with games, text messaging and the ability to personalize them to different tastes, and parents will want to keep a closer eye on their kids' phone bills.
Parents buying phones might also hear about the "dangers" of cell phone radiation. We'd like to emphasize that no reliable scientific study has ever found any physical dangers from the limited use of cell phones. And little kids will probably make only a few minutes' worth of calls per day, minimizing any exposure.
Here are some of the best phones for kids we have tested recently:
For under-10s:
LG Migo VX1000
Enfora TicTalk
Cingular Firefly
For tweens and young teens:
Nokia 3220

Hilarious music sitcom Flight of the Conchords won't return for a third season, according to a post on the website of the show's stars. But the end of the HBO show — about Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, a pair of New Zealand musicians who try to make it in New York with their band, Flight of the Conchords — doesn't mean the end of the musician/actor's collaboration.
"We're very proud of the two seasons we made and we like the way the show ended," reads the post. "While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist."
McKenzie told British music mag NME that the comedy-folk duo will mount a U.K. tour in 2010 and that a Conchords movie isn't out of the question.

NARAHA FUKUSHIMA PREF. – Tokyo Electric Power Co. plans to remove all of the highly radioactive water from sunken reservoirs at its Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant by early June, the utility's president said after Tepco said at least three of the seven cisterns are leaking.
Tepco will build more above-ground tanks to transfer the tainted water to, and the process will be completed as soon as early June, President Naomi Hirose said Wednesday at the firm's office in Naraha, Fukushima Prefecture.
It was the first news conference Hirose has held since Tepco announced on April 5 that radioactive water had leaked from one of the sunken reservoirs at the crippled nuclear plant.
Hirose apologized for the leaks, adding he is especially sorry for evacuees who had been planning to return to their homes.
On Wednesday, Tepco started removing soil from the area around reservoir No. 2, where the leaks were first discovered, to identify the cause of the problem. All seven cisterns are triple lined, have coamings that keep their edges higher than the ground around them, and have surface coverings.
Hirose said Tepco is unlikely to use the sunken reservoirs again, even though it previously said it would keep using some.
Tepco plans to start transferring a total of 7,100 tons of tainted water stored in reservoirs No. 1 and 2 to above-ground tanks Sunday and complete the transfer in early May.

I suffered for decades with migranes, from a child, usually one every two or so months. I could always detect a migrane versus a regular headache. The pain always starts behind my left eye, getting progressively worse, then I would see "lights" Then nausea. What helped me was (after hurling) sitting / lying down in the shower and alternating from cold to hot water from the shower for as long as it takes to get some relief which was usually after ~ 30 to 45 minutes. Then lie down in a dark, quiet room and be still. That could be for up to 18 or so hours. My longest migrane was for 2-1/2 days. I had a prescription the name of which I cannot remember but it did not help. I found that sometimes if I took 4 x 500 milligram Tylenol as soon as I felt it coming on it and lying down in the dark it would sometimes go away, not often but sometimes. I still remember one Christmas eve praying to god to let me die because of the pain (now I am glad he ignored me).
Now I am 50 and have not had a migrane for around 4 years. Once or twice I felt one starting but it went away before developing so maybe with age they go away?
None of us are leaving this world alive. Enjoy it responsibly as you may.

See diet and migraine - I can't vouch for it, but chocolate is definitely a trigger for me and strong cheese makes my head feel funny.
See Tyramine and Theobromine too.

After a bit of a google it appears caffeine can be beneficial or detrimental depending on the individual. Although in most cases it is beneficial, in my case it is beneficial.
One of the strongest headache remedy available over the counter here contains 3 active ingredients: Aspirin, paracetamol and caffeine.
Chocolate and cheese are common migraine triggers.

After suffering migraines my whole life, I've found that (don't laugh) Goody's headache powder works the best. To prevent a headache after drinking, take one powder with a tall glass of cold water before you go to bed. If you wake up with a headache take one powder every two hours or so and lie down in a comfortable bed in a cool dark room with a wet wash rag folded over your forehead. I know that this dosage exceeds the recommended, but it takes at least four to knock the headache out. After five or six hours you should feel nauseous and after throwing up you should start to feel better.
Hope this helps,

Funny, just yesterday a headache knocked me down. Had to lie in bed in darkness for a couple of hours. I started thinking how funny life is: when your mind doesn't work nothing works. It's such a horrible experience. I have a headache every couple of years and every time it happens I wish I hadn't been born. I pinpointed the location of the pain: it was in the back of one of my eyeballs, in the left side of the brain, the other side felt OK but that was no consolation.
Such a little thing is enough to render inoperative this complex machine. Methinks the design needs to be improved. Same with toothache, how an animal is supposed to get rid of the pain without external help? Another faulty design.

Ive had classic migraine all my life (since I was 17 Im now 73). Found diet ie chocolate,
cheese, red wine, bright lights could be triggers but not always. Luckily with classic
migraine I get a warning with an aura (visual disturbance). If I take 2 x Paracetomol/
Codeine 15mg I dont get the awful sickness and headache that I get without but I still felt awful for one or two days. However as Ive got older the frequecy was increasing from one every three months to one every month approx.
As this was getting very wearing I consulted the London Migraine Clinic. At first I didnt have much success as they seemed to have a new reason for migraine each time I went. The conversation went along the lines of "Recent research shows that this treatment helps 60% of migraneurs". However I always seemed to be in the other 40% !
However last time the consultant said that sticky platelets in the blood could be the cause of aura type migraines and recommended Clopidogrel a medicine that is used for
heart trouble. By chance Ive been prescribed this for a mild heart problem and lo and
behold Ive not had a migraine since.
Hope this can help someone

A quick google shows that Clopidogrel does the same thing as low-dose (75mg) aspirin.
The side effects seem a bit drastic (from wiki):
Serious adverse drug reactions associated with clopidogrel therapy include:
Severe neutropenia (low white blood cells) (Incidence: 1/2,000)
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) (Incidence: 4/1,000,000 patients treated)[17][18]
Hemorrhage - The annual incidence of hemorrhage may be increased by the co-administration of aspirin.[19]
Gastrointestinal hemorrhage (Incidence: 2.0% annually)
Cerebral Hemorrhage (Incidence: 0.1 to 0.4% annually)
Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is discouraged in those taking clopidogrel due to increased risk of digestive tract hemorrhage
Bleeding in the post operative period. This is especially a problem for patients after heart surgery where Clopidogrel is associated with a more than double the take back for bleeding rate, as well as other complicatons. The take back for bleeding occurs when there is chest tube clogging in the setting of on going bleeding in early post operative period. Often, if chest tube clogging can be avoided, and the chest tubes drain, the patient can be given platelets until the platelet defect is corrected and the bleeding ceases. But if the bleeding continues, and the chest tubes occlude, then the patient will become hemodynamically unstable and may require an emergency take back to the operating room. This impacts outcomes and costs of care.[citation needed]
Most studies researching clopidogrel do not compare patients on clopidogrel to patients taking placebo, rather clopidogrel use is compared to aspirin use. Thus attributing side effects directly to clopidogrel is difficult. Other side effects may include:
Other gastrointestinal side effects
Upper GI discomfort (27% vs 29% in patients taking aspirin alone)
Gastric or duodenal ulcer, gastritis
Diarrhea (4.5% of patients in the CAPRIE trial)[20]
Rash (6% overall, 0.33% severe)[21]
Respiratory (infrequent)
Upper respiratory infections, rhinitis, shortness of breath, cough
chest pain
edema (generalized swelling)
Thrombocytopenia (reduction of platelets, 0.2% severe cases as compared to 0.1% under aspirin)

Caffeine and pills with aspirin helps, 2-4 weeks before it starts. I drink more coffee, take more pills. I don't know if it helps or just prolongs waiting. And last 3 times it happened during fool moon and when weather changes. Either coincidence, or weather triggers it. I was reading a lot, of course, and tried to eliminate possible known triggers. But still... Can't eliminate weather changes.
The Devil is not so terrible as his math model is!

You can never be quite sure which way Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's dance theatre work is going to go. Mostly, he makes corkers, like 2010's 'Babel' or 'Sutra', his collaboration with the monks of the Shaolin Temple. But sometimes it seems as if this in-demand choreographer hasn't quite had enough time to pull everything into place (2011's manga-inspired 'Tezuka' is a case in point). His latest, 'Puz/zle', sounds very promising, made in collaboration with choreographer Damien Jalet and a variety of musicians, including a Corsican vocal group, a Lebanese singer and a Japanese composer. The themes are order and linearity and the question is one about the many different ways to solve a puzzle, tell a story or live a life.

The series, hosted by medical correspondent Bob Arnot, offers information about prevention, and if that doesn't work, symptomatic relief of the common cold.
"The fact that we make a product that has been clinically proven to reduce the duration and severity of the common cold, certainly helped drive our decision to underwrite the series," stated Ted Karkus, Quigley CEO.

National Recognition
"… I see a great deal of importance in the Excellence Program, and was extremely pleased to see the results of the students' core exams.I hope that the program will continue to progress in the future for the benefit of the students and the education system." - Limor Livnat, Minister of Education for Israel, (Translated from Hebrew,2006)
International Acclaim
"… through the Excellence 2000 Program, Israel and the Center for Excellence through Education are already reaching more than 2000 American students, and are providing interactive lessons in math and science, on the web… you are not only helping students learn, you're strengthening international relations and maybe even leading to the cure for cancer." - Margaret Spellings, United States Secretary of Education (2009)
Principals' Praise
"Since joining the program, many great things have happened at our school. For example: The teachers have absorbed the idea of personal excellence - meeting deadlines and staying on schedule. The students in the program have become models to be imitated – placing emphasis on personal behavior and contribution to the community…The program is also making its way into the homes, the students sharing with their parents…" - Zohar Leah, Principal of Jerusalem School, Kiryat Ata
"The Excellence 2000(E2K) Program has added light to the lives of our students…other students are working to improve their studies in order to join the E2K class. E2K has also served as a trigger to upgrade the teaching styles of all the teachers who are exposed to the program." - Yael Katz, Principal of Givat Tal School, Kiryat Ata
Empowered Teachers
"One of the best workshops I have attended so far." - TAN SW, Raffles Girls Primary School, Singapore
"The level of the materials and professionalism of your staff is amazing! The presentations are clear and well presented. I always look forward to the upcoming training seminars." - Michele Saks, SAR, New York
"These kinds of tools are the most important to give E2K teachers; not just what materials to teach, but how to teach it." - Channah Dresner, E2K Science Teacher, Nativ Zvulun School, Modiin
Student Excitement
"I enjoy the intensity that we try to solve a task and in the end we find a quick and simple solution. I learn different techniques that make it easier for me in the regular classes." - Amit, Jerusalem
"During E2K classes we get a few critical thinking tasks, and sometimes even have a competition. After all the students have come up with solutions to the challenges, we discuss each task as a class, with the help of our teacher. The tasks help us learn new materials and understand the solution to the riddle. The content of the classes is interesting and not like any other class." - Ofek, Tel Aviv
"In my opinion, it is very fun in Excellence 2000. We try to solve riddles and build things, but in the end we always discover new ways of doing it. It's fun to discover new and interesting things - and also to try the same activities on my parents at home to see how smart they are. It's fun to be with a group of friends. We have competitions and games, and it's never boring." - Gloria, Maalot
"Our daughter began the class – and brought the whole family along with her! Each week she brings us new and interesting thinking exercises and science riddles. . Our daughter goes to her E2K class of her own choosing and with a high level of curiosity. Thank you to the staff of E2K for the amazing experience." - Parents of Yael, Haifa
"Each week, Yoav comes home with stories to tell from his experiences in the Excellence 2000 class. Each week there is a new discovery. Our whole family sits together every week to 'crack our heads' with the new riddle. ." - Ilana, mother of Yoav, Kiryat Ata

It's a West Coast version of the Marlin 70/70HC, sold thru Big 5 stores. Precursor to the 795.
It's one of the "House Brand" Marlins, where they changed the name/model number to suit the recipient.
Read this...it is a pretty good listing of all the rifles Marlin made for other companies, where they changed the name of their own rifles to suit the Corporatations. It has more Marlins listed than any other cross-brand reference to date...and it's ONLY Marlins
And yeah, it'd be worth $125, but try to haggle 'em down a bit anyway

"I love how pretty and classy these notes and labels are. The print on the invitation and label is a bit small but easily remedied with increase in font size."
"I wasn't sure about this design, I am not a huge fan of everything being pink just because I have a baby girl, however I picked the option for my picture being black and white and it came out so adorable with the pink background. The quality of the paper is great! Very sturdy paper/stationary.I also chose to have our return address put on the envelope and it gave it and elegant look and saved me so much time. I should have ordered more, I only ordered 30 and now there are so many more people I'm thinking I could have sent this to that would've really liked a picture of our daughter rather than a plain thank you card. I wasn't expecting such great quality and such a good looking card so I didn't want to order too many. Now I know what to expect from this company and I will definitely be ordering again!"
"These cards are perfect and I would order them again. They are simple, yet elegant. And they are a good size to fit a decent note in."
"The cards arrived being the perfect color. It looked just like it did online. We are going to use these for some of our wedding thank you cards!!"

About Simon Robinson
One Response to Biodiesel: the glycerol challenge

This is nothing new… Framework Program 7 (FP7) has a large section for funding provided for sustainable chemistry.
Check out The University of York, Dept. of Chemistry, Green Chemistry CoE, UK
My work there was involved in reactions of glycerol to give it "value added" status.
Glycerol's three hydroxy groups and low cost because of biodiesel manufacturing makes it a)highly verstile for polymer manufacture and other derivatives and b) a cheap feedstock
One issue is the purity of the glycerol feed – how much purification. If I tell you much more I'd be giving away my own work however!
All I'll say is this is chemists – doing what chemists do – playing about with readily available materials – in my case using new clean technologies to do so, to minimise the overall (life-cycle) environmental impact.

Establishing a Nonprofit In Arkansas
Many grassroots organizations find themselves in a situation where they need to formally organize. Reasons vary but, one might be for legal protection. Arkansas Code (Arkansas Code of 1987 §16-120-102) provides immunity from tort liability to board members of any nonprofit corporation that hold a valid federal income tax exemption.
Another reason might be for fund development. Donors cannot deduct their donation and in many instances, will not donate unless your organization is tax exempt. Many of the grants available require your organization to be federally tax exempt to apply.
There are six basic steps in becoming and maintaining a nonprofit corporation.*
- Organize
- Incorporate
- Adopting bylaws
- Securing an Employer Identification Number (EIN)
- File for tax exemptions, (federal and state)
- File necessary annual reports
* Order may change depending on organization and need
The University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service works with organizations at both the grassroots level and at the experienced level. We can provide training in many areas ranging from becoming incorporated, writing and revising bylaws to conducting effective meetings.
Starting a Nonprofit provides suggested guidelines and helpful websites for organizing and becoming a tax exempt nonprofit corporation in Arkansas. This handout is not rendering any legal advice and suggests seeking competent legal advice in each of these areas.
The University of Arkansas School of Law's Legal clinic in Fayetteville provides assistance to emerging and existing nonprofits. For assistance contact them at 479-575-3056 and make a request for representation. Law students provide representation depending on time and scheduling. The law school sponsors the University of Arkansas Online Legal e-Source that is designed to be used as a free tool for both current non-profit organizations and individuals wanting to start a non-profit organization.
Applying for a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt status is the IRS Publication that presents general guidelines for organizations that seek tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the IRC. Content includes references to the statute, Treasury regulations, other IRS publications that explain the requirements for tax-exempt status, and IRS forms with instructions.
- Legal Guide for Arkansas Nonprofits and Volunteer Organizations
Uses a scenario situation describing everything from the birth of a nonprofit to dealing with staff, volunteers and other day-to-day operations.

Colin Cowherd is coming to Chicago.
As expected, the lineup has been shuffled at ESPN 1000.
Tom Waddle and Marc Silverman are moving from mid-morning to the 2-6 p.m. afternoon slot. Carmen DeFalco and John Jurkovic will shift to the 10 a.m.-2 p.m. slot.
The new addition will be an hour of Cowherd's national ESPN show. It will air from 9-10 a.m. Gone, at least in Chicago, will be Scott Van Pelt and Ryan Russillo, whose show currently airs from 1-2 p.m. on the station.
The changes are effective April 1.
ESPN appears to be making a push to extend Cowherd's reach into more markets. It remains to be seen whether Chicago will embrace Cowherd.
Cowherd did some early romancing Tuesday, saying how he and his wife, a Michigan native, consider Chicago "their favorite city."
"I never thought I'd get on in Chicago," Cowherd said. "I've been on in New York and Los Angeles, so it'll be great to be on there. Chicago has a pedigree as having a great radio market. There are talented people there (in sports talk radio). I know it won't be easy. If you don't bring your 'A' game, you'll vanish in that market."
Asked how he would describe himself to Chicago listeners who never have heard him, Cowherd said, "It won't take long for people to know I drink a lot of coffee."
"I take each segment very seriously," Cowherd said. "I'm not saying I'm always right, but I'm going to come out with a ton of energy."
The shake-up was expected after ESPN 1000 cut ties with Harry Teinowitz from the afternoon show a few weeks ago. The station is trailing its sports talk rival, WSCR-AM 670, in the ratings race.
ESPN 1000 knows it has to improve its numbers in the afternoon. In the January ratings of men 25-54 (the key demographic for sports talk radio) from 1-6 p.m., ESPN 1000′s afternoon show placed 17th with a 2.6 audience share. Meanwhile, its main competition, Dan Bernstein and Terry Boers at WSCR-AM 670, was No. 1 with a 6.5 share.
ESPN 1000 is counting on the appeal of Waddle, a popular former Bear, and the chemistry he's built with "Silvy," to cut into that deficit.
As for the morning, there's an interesting sidelight. Jurkovic now will be competing against his former ESPN 1000 partner and close friend, Dan McNeil, who teams with Matt Spiegel from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on WSCR.
Stay tuned for more.

PARIS – A drunken man has been arrested for trying to douse the eternal flame at the landmark Arc de Triomphe monument in Paris, police said Wednesday.
The man parked his car on Tuesday evening near the famed monument on the Champs-Elysees and rushed toward the flame with a fire extinguisher in hand.
Police said the man, who was drunk, told them he wanted to extinguish the fire. He has been placed in custody.
The flame burns in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which commemorates France's dead in the two world wars, at the base of the arch.
The flame has been attacked in the past. In 2002, a mentally unhinged soldier was arrested for trying to urinate on it. Another man burned himself the previous year after sitting over the flames, and another was previously arrested for trying to cook eggs there.

Description says they're 12.99?
Looking at the features write-up, it looks like these were sold for $12.99 before. Has anyone actually tried these? I think my little one might like them.
Toys-r-us has them for 3.99 a box with free shipping. So, with the woot shipping about the same price. Obviously there is the economy of scale if there are other woot-off items you are getting. No reviews, but I am strangly tempted to buy them.

Our apologies that information has been corrected. There was a miscommunication about the pricing with the merchandiser.

Current centre console
Centre console obtained from scrapyard to experiment with.
Paper tray from WHSmith, it has the same pattern as the Trip computer and the Air Con.
surround cut out of the tray
Surround in the Centre Console
Lilliput in the combo.
Still need to work on the fixings. Also the filling behind the surround is just a piece of carboard at present, need to get the right thickness plastic to replace it.
Also got to work on the buttons. Am looking to possibly obtain some nice BMW ones like on the trip Computer or the A/C and cut those into the surround underneath the Lilliput.
Note the current surround will be replaced with another one as this is just a prototype one (he says excusing himself for the superglued crack )
Opinions welcome. (runs and hides in corner)

I need some advice on which rechargeable batteries I should get for my camera. Hopefully you guys can give me some input, as I'm an idiot when it comes to stuff like this...
I've got an Olympus E-10, and it uses either four AA or two CR-V3 Li-ion batteries. When I first got the camera a few years ago, I was using four AA batteries, but I found that they would only last about an hour before they were dead. So, I switched to using two CR-V3's. These batteries last a LONG time, and I'm very happy with them, however, they are about $20 a pop. So I'm starting to look for a rechargeable alternative.
Olympus sells a rechargeable battery pack (grip mount), but you really can't get it for anything less than $300. That's too much for me.
Then, I found a site that sells two different external rechargeable battery packs. The first one is rated at 1400mAh ($50), and the second one is rated at 2200mAh ($60). Both of these look good to me. I guess the only draw back is that I'll have to tote the battery pack around with me. That really doesn't bother me, as I use a tripod a lot and I could just strap it to that.
Finally, I found a site that compares different types of rechargeable AA and CR-V3 batteries. It appears that if you get a good set of batteries and a charger, it would end up costing about as much as the two battery packs mentioned above. So my question is, if I end up getting four rechargeable AA's or two rechargeable CR-V3's, will I get the same performance as I would with one of the two battery packs mentioned above? If so, can anyone recommend a good brand? The rechargeable AA's or CR-V3's would be the best, since they'll fit inside of the camera and I won't have to tote around a rechargeable pack... But only if they provide the same (or better) performance as the battery packs above.
Like I said, I really don't know much at all about batteries, much less rechargeable camera batteries. So any help will be greatly appreciated!

The Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University continues its series of Sunday afternoon lectures related to the exhibition The Picturesque and War: Visual and Literary Aspects of 19th Century Tourism with a lecture and book-signing by Dr. Thomas Chambers. The program will take place Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Castellani Art Museum. Dr. Chambers will discuss his recently published book, Memories of War: Visiting Battlegrounds and Bonefields in the Early American Republic (Cornell University Press, October 2012).
In Memories of War, Dr. Chambers recounts America's rediscovery of its early national history through the rise of battlefield tourism in the first half of the 19th century. Perhaps no other part of the United States saw more battles during the War of 1812 than the Niagara River borderland in western New York State. In later years, its decaying fortifications and overgrown battlefields provided reminders of the struggle's bloodshed and indecisive conclusion. Tourists traveling to Niagara Falls visited nearby Fort Niagara, Queenston Heights or Lundy's Lane, constructing the war's memory in the process. As one visitor wrote during an 1821 trip to Niagara, "This beautiful country stimulates my patriotism." Battlefields and monuments on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border became sites where Americans, and especially New Yorkers, came to understand why the War of 1812 mattered, and how they could remember its fallen heroes. Their emotional responses to place and history at Niagara's battlefields both honored veterans and neglected the war's causes. Memories of 1812 envisioned a peaceful border between two nations that had once shed each other's blood.
Thomas A. Chambers is an associate professor of history and department chair at Niagara University. He took his Ph.D. and M.A. at the College of William and Mary, and earned his B.A. at Middlebury College. He currently serves as chairman of the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area Commission, and has been active in the 1812 Legacy Council.
The Picturesque and War: Visual and Literary Aspects of 19th Century Niagara Tourism and related programming is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and is sponsored, in part, by the Niagara 1812 Bicentennial Legacy Council, the Canadian Consulate General and Old Glory Flag & Banner, a division of Cooper Sign Company, Niagara Falls, N.Y. The exhibition runs through Feb. 24, 2013.
This event is free and open to the public.

These experiences became the foundation of his style, a combination of fine-art photography and free-flowing photojournalism peppered with traditional poses. The key to Edward's success is his high level of energy, which not only makes him quick on the draw when he's hunting for candid shots, but also helps him establish a rapport with kids, families, and high school Seniors.
Often Edward's images contain clear, crisp colors with slightly heightened saturation to make them more memorable. It's these tones newlyweds will see if they hire Edward to make for them a custom fine art wedding book, each of which is designed by a graphic artist and hand made in Italy.

Sex website seizure spurs San Francisco bid to decriminalize prostitution
By Mary Papenfuss
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The head of San Francisco's Erotic Service Providers Union has been a sex worker for 24 years — and "I hope to be doing it for another 24," says Maxine Doogan.
But she dreams of a future when she won't be treated like a criminal and could earn a little respect in the city that launched the fight for sex worker rights 41 years ago.
Calls by Bay Area sex workers for decriminalizing "consensual" prostitution have been spurred anew following the FBI seizure of a West Coast sex services website that prosecutors say hooked up clients with prostitutes and which sex workers saw as a vital forum to screen dangerous clients.
The shutdown in June of website myredbook.com left local sex workers scrambling for business and worried about their safety. It drove them to launch new Web forums as they seek independence from pimps, traffickers and intimidating customers.
The famously tolerant San Francisco Bay Area would seem like an easy battleground for amending prostitution laws. The fight for sex worker rights was first launched in the United States in San Francisco in 1973 by feminist and self-described prostitute Margo St. James with the organization COYOTE, "Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics."
In the mid-1970s, COYOTE got prostitution in Rhode Island reduced to a misdemeanor crime, until 2009.
But the battle in San Francisco has lost ground in recent years in the face of the increasing influence of religious conservatives, continued opposition by some feminists and the repeated link made by law enforcement between prostitution and sex trafficking of children and immigrants, activists say.
Sex workers argue that decriminalizing prostitution would be the best way to fight trafficking by ending the black market, and giving women the ability to report crimes against them. Continued...

Best Of :: People & Places
Phoenix comic Maggie Hunts knew something was wrong when her family started hiding Oreo cookies in the dishwasher and embarrassing trickles started running down her leg. When Hunts was in her twenties, she learned she had diabetes. Ever since, she's been on a quest to turn the D-word into laughs and a new way of living.
"There's hope for us! Yay!" says Hunts, who's just released her new how-to book called It's a Sweet Life... Now! It's a practical guide/comedy romp of her true-life adventures as a real person with diabetes not a doctor with a sugar-level chart.
"When I come across most diabetes books, it's depressing... they're all intimidating numbers and facts," says Hunts, "but nobody tells you what to do when you fall off the horse after trotting over to Krispy Kreme." With chapters like "Occasional Sin," "Burp the Cell Phone," and "This Little Piggy," Hunts offers easy tips to live with a difficult disease. It's straight up meshuggeneh! (How can you not laugh at a diabetes book that includes a Yiddish glossary?) One of the best parts: Hunts who also teaches tantra workshops with her partner tells you how to have hot, raunchy sex while on an insulin pump. Now that's sweet!
With its lavishly tony décor soaked in red and black, talented DJs spinning Top 40 and rock mash-ups, top-shelf food and drinkage, performances by musical and burlesque acts, and plenty of chi-chi clientele, the Jackrabbit Supper Club is definitely the kinda E-Ticket club that exudes big-city splash. Since debuting last fall, it's not strange to see the place filled to its rafters with the beautiful people (including such celebs as Matt Leinart and Jamie Foxx) from Thursday to Saturday every week. Oh, and by the way, good luck trying to get inside. We've seen limos full of ladies and gents getting turned away by the iron-jawed security types after the club hits its capacity during the prime time of 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. And even when these gatekeepers grant admission, usually they're picking the hottest hotties that are standing in line outside the unmarked building. So unless you can somehow transform into Nick Lachey or Jessica Simpson, chances are you're gonna be partying down the street at Mickey's with all the other mooks.
Something's going up on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Camelback roads, and no, it's not another gas station. It's a cupcake shop! Well, you say, cupcake shops are as common as gas stations these days and, hey, both are outrageously priced. You're right. We won't argue (in fact, a Sprinkles cupcake costs $3.25 even more than a gallon of gas). We'll just tell you that if the hype on these precious Beverly Hills-based sweet cakes is anywhere near right, you'll be lined up out the door like an imitation of the '70s gas crisis when the Scottsdale Sprinkles finally opens. We'd hoped it would be in time for our Sweet Life issue, but alas, some good things must wait.
Just listen to the lineup of flavors: ginger lemon, dark chocolate, cinnamon sugar, chai latte, peanut butter chip. Drooling? Try scrolling over the full descriptions at www.sprinklescupcakes.com. Lemon isn't just lemon, it's "fragrant lemon cake with lemon-vanilla frosting flecked with zest." These people mean business, and we expect their business to boom when they open allegedly sometime this fall.
If it weren't for sheer willpower, we'd all be sitting around on asses the size of Texas, eating bonbons, and frothing at the mouth like Homer Simpson. Mmm... chocolate. So you can imagine we were floored to discover a cocoa treat that has zero calories and zero fat at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak. Offered as part of the Tocasierra Spa's "My Tempest Truffle" Valentine's Day package, the Chocolate Scrub immerses your whole body in guilt-free chocolaty goodness. The included Chocolate Decadence Pedicure turns tired tootsies into plump, juicy Tootsie Rolls. Can't wait to check out next year's cocoa-infused V-Day specials at Tocasierra? Don't fret the spa plans to offer the chocolate body scrub year-round for an anytime indulgence. They say that because of similar endorphins, chocolate is just as good as sex. Considering that the spa does the messy cleanup for you, we say this sinful scrub is even better.
Thanks to one of Old Town Scottsdale's newest boutiques, we'll gladly add some extra penance so we can atone for the lust we feel for Covet's Tretorn shoes, limited-edition Andy Warhol Factory Foundation Levi's, and one-of-a-kind Liz Saintsing painted bags. We're envious of owners Randy and Adrienne Kreb's excellent taste, and have been known to stare longingly at the Yoko Deveraux shirts and the Alexander McQueen Puma trainers. We're just angry that we didn't spend more time at the gym, so our slothful selves have to be squeezed into our April 77 skinny rock-star jeans.
We love looking like a million bucks, especially if our champagne tastes can be sated on our beer budgets. That's why we've been braving traffic on the I-10 for ages so we can scour the racks at Neiman Marcus Last Call at Arizona Mills. Where else will you find purple Miu Miu pumps for $19.95? Or John Galliano for Dior camis for $50? Or a men's Prada blazer for less than $150? Stock up on Radko Christmas ornaments for $9, and score a suede couch for under $1500. When you pay for your purchases and the kind clerk asks if you'd like to be added to the mailing list, say, "Yes."

I bought it off off eBay when I was 15, so that I could make my creative writing process more efficient. Typing on a computer sapped my creativity, I felt, but handwriting was too slow to capture my ideas. My solution was a mint condition portable 1963 Royal Deluxe typewriter. Bought for $375 with my own paycheck. In powder pink, of course.
I've been creating systems to tell stories since I was a teenager – literally. A creative writing degree and marketing career later, and I'm still at it. And I still have my pink typewriter.
Today, I help forward-thinking businesses find their mission, their audience, and the best way to connect the two.
That's MY story.
What's yours?

Not sure where to begin browsing? A great place to start is with clarinet barrels that are labelled best sellers. While the right clarinet barrel for you will ultimately come down to your personal preferences and needs as a musician, checking out the top sellers will give you an insight into what other clarinetists consider to be the best of the best. Take for example, Buffet Crampon's Moennig Clarinet Barrels. The unique hourglass-shaped bore and Grenadilla wood construction of the Moennig clarinet barrel allows for crisp, clean intonation and improved tonal focus. Available for both A and Bb trumpets, these barrels go a long way in shaping the tone produced by your clarinet.
Is more power while playing your end game? You might want to consider a barrel like The Doctor's Products Power Barrels. They're designed to increase the perceived sound power of your clarinet by an impressive 12-15 dB and feature a matched bore taper that's extremely free-blowing yet focused and controlled. If you're a musician that frequently plays outdoor shows where background noise is an annoying interference, this is the clarinet barrel for you.
The barrel may be one of the smallest pieces on your clarinet, but it definitely plays a big role your instrument's sound and intonation. If you can't quite find the sound you want, consider switching the barrel on your clarinet. Each option here has different advantages and sound options, so trying out a few may be the ideal way to determine which is going work best for you!
