Simple Home Beauty Tips to Make You Feel Pampered
I have found that I always feel the most renewed, refreshed and beautiful after returning from a vacation, a good night out or even a trip to the spa or salon.
Though I know the reasons why: good products, relaxation, pampering and a good setting; it really is not always possible to get to such places all the time.
This is why it is important to know how to get some of those same results at home by using a few home beauty tips I have used throughout the years for when I need to give myself a little boost of self-confidence.
Home Beauty Tips #1. Transform Your Bathroom Into a SPA
We as women know that one of the top draws of a spa or salon is the feeling you get being surrounded by the soothing colors, little touches and soft music. I have found that I can use this one element for bringing the feel of such places in to my home by carving out an area that is just for me. One option is to use your bathroom, or portion of your bathroom, as you space for beauty.
I have placed a vanity with a large mirror and cushy chair in the bathroom for me to use when I am getting ready, fixing my hair or simply just applying products to my face, neck and skin.
Home Beauty Tips #2. De-Stress With Relaxing & Soothing Scents
The space has candles in soothing scents such as lavender or vanilla that I burn while in the bathroom as it makes me feel encompassed in luxury. I have also found that plush towels and good quality beauty implements also help me feel more pampered in my own home.
Home Beauty Tips #3. Pamper Yourself with Natural Beauty Treatments
The other way I have been able to recreate the feeling I have after professional treatments is to make my own concoctions by using ingredients found in my own home. This is a way to use natural elements to give myself beauty treatments.
One way I like to refresh my face is through a facial scrub that I make using oatmeal, honey and milk. The paste is lightly rubbed on the face using a circular motion and then rinsed clean with lukewarm water. The end result is skin that is radiant and really does look like one that just had a high end treatment performed.
Modern women know that time is of the essence and we just simply do not always have time to truly take care of ourselves in the pampering way we would want.
Home Beauty Tips #4: Look and Feel Fabulous Despite the Lack of Time
I have found that taking time for me, during down hours at home, can really make all of the difference in the world in how I both look and feel. Many people have told me that they can tell when I am well rested and relaxed as I tend to have a natural glow about me.
This is one of my favorite home beauty tips for you: I truly believe that when you make small changes at home, you will reflect a better level of self-esteem and confidence.
This is because beauty does radiate from the inside out and thus when you start taking better care of yourself at home through proper nutrition, routine exercise, restful sleep and pampering you will always look your absolute best.

| This book is an essential resource for the Christian worker committed to sharing Christ's love with Muslims. Four thousand years ago in clustered desert tents festering with rivalry, Abraham banished his slave Hagar and their son Ishmael. Cast aside and embittered, this broken family seemed destined to wander the desert, insignificant and forgotten. But Ishmael grew to father kings and thrives as the cornerstone of Muslim identity. This invaluable book will give you insight into Muslim culture and will help you minister to the followers of the world's fastest growing religion. Your ability to respectfully share Christ's love with Muslims will be strengthened as you read historical accounts and are given practical tools for ministry. - Back cover.

The aroma of mountain lion meatballs and duck soup filled the air of the Heritage Hall at Fort Missoula as sportsmen and women filled their plates with wild game appetizers, traded hunting and fishing stories and bid on gear and other silent auction items at the Hellgate Hunters and Anglers' (HHA) inaugural banquet Saturday, Feb. 17.
"We were wondering if we would get 35 people to show up," said HHA Treasurer Tony Hoyt as he took tickets at the door. "We're totally thrilled about the number of people."
The banquet sold 196 tickets, according to Hoyt, and each ticket includes a year's membership with HHA.
A year and a half ago, the HHA, formerly the Missoula Wildlife Association, was brought back to life with a new board of directors and Missoula County's outdoor community got a new voice.
Enthusiasm for outdoor ethics and traditions was a big reason for Saturday's turnout, but concern about public land access was evident as well.
Sen. Max Baucus sent a letter saying he wished he could have been there. Access to public lands is a top priority, Baucus wrote, and he'll continue to fight to open padlocked gates across the state.
Keynote speakers Jim Posewitz, author of Beyond Fair Chase: The Ethic and Tradition of Hunting, and Steve Doherty, chairman of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, seconded Baucus' statement and underscored the need for groups like the HHA.
"The areas I went to as a kid [to hunt and fish] now charge fees," Doherty told the standing-room audience. "And it's only going to get worse."
"Who wouldn't rather be sitting in a duck blind waiting for that flock to come in instead of knocking on doors and educating people," Doherty said. "But we've got to get out there and talk about this stuff."

Hello, I just installed the new Racket and I'm trying the new features. Online syntax check works so nicely! I think I had some trouble trying to get readline (Racket collection) to work some months ago, and I just figured out I probably gave up (it does work well on Linux). Should I expect XREPL to work normally under Windows? I installed GNU Readline ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/readline/5.0-1/readline-5.0-1-setup.exe/download), copied "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\readline5.dll" to "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\libreadline.dll.5" (because I was getting the error ffi-lib: couldn't open "libreadline.dll.5" (The specified module could not be found.; errno=126)). Every time I run "racket -il xrepl" or "racket -il readline" Racket crashes (showing a Windows dialog). Sometimes I get on the console the message "Seg fault (internal error) at 0". If I try to run ,install! (before crashing) I get: -> ,install! file-size: file not found: "C:\Users\Rodolfo\racketrc.rktl" Any pointers on what could be wrong, or how could I examine why it is crashing? (I suppose something to do with the GNU readline dll...) Thanks, Rodolfo Carvalho -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

British Gas smart meter reviewer feedback thread. Non testers: Share your thoughts on creating a greener environment for your DCs to be in with a chance of winning £100 worth of John Lewis vouchers NOW CLOSED(116 Posts)
MNHQ have commented on this thread.
This thread is for the 3 Mumsnetters and 2 Mumsnet Bloggers who are testing the British Gas smart meters in their home.
Non testers: Share your thoughts on creating a greener environment for the next generation how important or not, do you think it is to educated younger generations on energy waste and carbon emissions? Do you think its something children should be taught about at school? Is it a topic that you discuss with your DCs or not?
Everyone who adds a comment to this thread by 18th October will be in with a chance of winning £100 worth of John Lewis vouchers
Testers: We'd like you to post at least 3 sets of feedback on this thread - once a month for 3 months.
Below are a few questions for you to answer but please also add any other comments you may have to the thread. You may want to answer some questions now and some at the end of the trial period.
General questions
- How did you find the installation of the smart meters? Was it any more or less complicated than you were expecting?
- What are your first impressions of being upgraded to smart meters and having a smart energy monitor?
- Has the smart energy monitor that comes with smart meters helped you keep track of your energy consumption?
- Has the smart energy monitor helped your children to understand/be more interested in energy? If so how?
- If it came up in conversation, would you recommend getting a smart meter upgrade with British Gas to your family/friends? If so why? If not why not?
Month 1: Finding the activities that use the most energy
This task is all about educating the future generations about the cost of energy wastage to both the environment and your household bills.
This month we'd like testers to try to discover which activities in your home use the most energy:
- Have each member of the family write down the 3 activities they think use the most energy in the home. What were these?
- Ask your children to guess how much gas or electricity they think each activity involves - please let us know what they said.
- Ask your children to turn on various domestic appliances in turn and record how much electricity is consumed and how much it actually costs by looking at the smart energy monitor. You can do the same for gas appliances, but it takes a bit longer (30 minutes - due to the way gas volume is measured and translated into kWh) for the figures to be displayed on the smart energy monitor.
- Which activity used the most energy? Did this surprise you? Will you and your family change how you use gas or electricity appliances in the future or not? If so, how? If not why not?
Thanks and good luck,
Katie @ MNHQ
Had smart meter fitted. Initial problem as had a gas leak but this was soon remedied. However, a week or so later we had an extremely loud piercing alarm sound which continued for a few minutes. It stopped but we rang Gas Board who told us it must have been caused by some testing. They said if it happened again we should press the green button on the box. Without a torch the button was not apparent but when lit was obvious. No trouble since so cross fingers. Looked at monitor to begin with which gave a general guide but then there didn't seem any point. Might as well save the electricity the monitor uses!
Aside from the education about environmental benefits, having Smart Meters could also get kids interested in mathematics and statistics. For me (as a computer geek) I find stats more interesting than the environmental benefits (that's not to say it's not important!!). Learning about graphs and comparison techniques could also be a benefit to kids at school while learning about smarter energy.
If anyone is interested... I have also written a small article on our experience getting British Gas Smart Meters installed, as you will read, it was not plain sailing for me:
Please feel free to post your comments and on this post too, I would be very interested to hear your experiences.

I do thing smart meters and green energy should be on the school agenda like recycling is.
Educating Adults & children about conservation
It is great to teach the younger generation not to waste energy
non tester
its very important to get the kids educated and involved in enviromental causes, clearing rivers, using smart meters, recycling, using the car less etc. They are the generation that will benefit from any reductions in waste and global warming we can make. I think a smart meter is a good visual aid for this and one of the things available to parents.
Very important that we pass on the message to our kids about not wasting energy and make it second nature to switch off standbys etc.
First one broke after a while and BG sent another when asked. However it was a different model and took some getting used to. Overall, I think the Smart Meter is V. Useful, though.
Thanks for all your comments. The winner of the prize draw is...
Congratulations, I'll PM you for your details.
I desperately want a smart meter as our gas use has rocketed out of control. We'd actively like to save energy and reduce our bills. Unfortunately it is too hard to get one at the moment. We contacted British Gas and asked to convert to them, if we could get a smart meter, but they couldn't commit to getting us a smart meter in less than a year unless we signed up to a special tariff which would cost us about £1800 more.... We were happy to go on a tarif which cost us negligibly more, but the guranteed smart meter one is ridiculous - so we had to stay with our much cheaper current provider who doesn't yet offer smart meters. Smart => dumb!
I think it's important our dcs learn about a greener environment. My son is 4, he's already learned about it at school and we have been to a science museum, where there wS a section on recycling which you could part in. I explain to him about energy saving! Turning things off when not using them, etc so he will grow up to do the same.
2) change the time you use appliances:
Really hard to do because we're in at the same times (dictated by school / work / clubs) do that's when we use them.
Have tried using washing machine later in evening after kids baths rather than in the morning. Same with dishwasher. Am loathe to do overnight due to fire safety concerns.
To be honest, like most families, the times we want to use appliances will be the most expensive times because the fuel companies know when we're around & charge accordingly.
3) Smart Meter more or less since you got it?
Just the same, always check to see what we're using. Check it at times like 1st thing in the morning to check the reading is along same lines as always & nothing untoward has happened
Tester Challenge 2
Question 1) when do you & your family consume most energy?
Answer) probably same as majority of families - after 4pm weekdays and after 1pm at weekends.
Non tester
It's so important that the next generation will be more clued up and proactive than we are.
It should be spoken about in school as well as at home. Mine get told about saving energy and recycling very often. I don't talk with my eldest about the saving money aspect of it - I don't want to burden him with that just yet.
Any opportunity to discuss green issues is a great chance for learning and debate.
Our school fundraising for solar panels. They all did sponsored cycle on the Pedal-A-Watt bike. One mum suggested ditching the solar panels idea and just setting up a pedalling rota for the children! Not as crazy as it sounds: healthy children and a low carbon footprint
Non tester.
I think its important to talk to your kids about living a greener life in a relaxed fashion, by dropping in ideas in everyday conversation and following through on them,. E.g. switching off lights, using more energy efficient bulbs, not wasting water etc..
Children learn these things at school but they'll get practical ideas and pick up habits for the future from the way their family lives.
I think it is extremely important to teach children about the environment. My DD is 6 and she already knows why we need to turn lights off when they are not needed, and to recycle.. And she finds it all interesting! I think schools should do more from a younger age to encourage this though.
It's vital that this is covered, probably in PSHE lessons, though perhaps as a topic in language classes. Our children also hold their future in their own hands: we can only help them. DD has reached the age where she's more likely to listen to people at school than me, teachers or pupils and really hasn't cottoned on properly at all. Most people reckon we live in a fridge compared to them, but me and DH believe in sticking on another jumper (though DH has a weak spot about turning lights off) and both DH and DD reckon I'm a recycling obsessive. We try to set a good example, but deeper exploration is better done in class where everyone has to listen to the teacher and then explore the concepts more themselves. If I try the same thing, it's evident to me I'm just preaching to someone who wants to go and do something else: it's a dead loss.
Hi i think children and parents should be taught about recycling and carbon foot print. We discuss this topic however there is probably a lot more i should know. My daughter always walks when we can and we recycle all that we can
I'm a non-tester.
I definitely think the younger a child is introduced to green issues the better. By being led by example at home (walking rather than using car, recycling, using less electricity etc..) and by being taught at school.
We use extra clothes and blankets to keep ourselves warmer, as the bills go up the extra layers go on!
This is something that I've just realized that I don't think about enough, especially in regards to educating my son about the impact on the environment. I need to find out more and talk about it more at home.
It is so important that children are aware of environmental issues. even our two year old knows to recycle things (not always correctly!) This is our future and it is important that children understand why energy saving and recycling are so important. I do think that this is something that should be focused on in school as well as at home of course. We are all responsible.
Its really important and we have spoken about it and why it is important. i think they should incorporate more to do with energy saving into school curriculum as it all helps to build a bigger picture on why its important.

Overview of Mining Industry of the Future Industrial Technologies Program
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
DOE Organization
The Department of Energy's single, overarching mission is to enhance national security. Responsibility for accomplishing this mission is shared between four principle program lines:
- National defense
- Energy programs
- Environmental programs
- Science programs
To achieve this, the DOE has many offices. Beneath the Under Secretary of Energy, Science and Environment is the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. It is within this office that the Office of Industrial Technologies, Mining Industry of the Future performs its research.
The mission of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is to strengthen America's energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality through public-private partnerships that:
- promote energy efficiency and productivity,
- bring clean, reliable, and affordable energy technologies to the marketplace; and
- make a difference in the everyday lives of Americans by enhancing their energy choices and their quality of life.
EERE Programs
To achieve its mission, EERE has been organized into programs. They are:
- Biomass Program
- Building Technologies Program
- Distributed Energy & Electric Reliability Program
- Federal Energy Management Program
- Freedom CAR & Vehicle Technologies Program
- Geothermal Program
- Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, & Infrastructure Program
- Industrial Technologies Program
- Solar Program
- Wind & Hydropower Program
- Westernization & Intergovernmental Program
OIT Organization
The mission of the Office of the Industrial Technologies Program (OIT) is to partner with key, energy-intensive industries to conduct a balanced program of technology investigation, validation, and dissemination that will lead to the increased use of energy efficiency and pollution prevention technologies, as well as renewable energy resources, in the U.S. industrial sector. These efforts assist in reducing the nation's dependence on foreign energy resources, the energy intensity of our economy, and the environmental impact of our industrial processes, while achieving cost-effective product quality enhancements and improving our competitiveness in the global marketplace.
Mining Industry Vision
The mining industry developed the Vision, The Future Begins with Mining, in 1998. Goals listed in the Vision are:
- Low Cost and Efficient Production
- Superior Exploration and Resource Characterization
- Safe and Efficient Extraction and Processing
- Responsible Emission and By-Product Management
- Advanced Products
- Positive Partnership with Government
- Improved Communication and Education
Roadmap R&D Areas
From this Vision document, targeted Technology Roadmaps were developed that describe pathways of research to achieve the Vision goals.
The first Roadmap, developed in February 1999, was the Mining Industry Roadmap for Crosscutting Technologies. This Roadmap applies to all minerals and all aspects of exploration, mining, and processing technologies.
The second Roadmap, developed in September 2000, was the Mineral Processing Technology Roadmap. This Roadmap focuses on methods used to clean, separate, and prepare coal, metals, and non-metallic minerals from mined material into final marketable products.
The third Roadmap, Exploration and Mining Technologies, focuses on the method used to locate and mine minerals.
Mining IOF Evolution
Since the beginning of the Mining IOF, the Technology Roadmaps developed by industry have been the basis for R&D development and have let to partnerships between industry, laboratories, universities, and government. The Mining IOF would now like to take those partnerships and transition to high-impact, high-value R&D or an industry "Grand Challenge." This R&D will be performance-based rather than technology-based. The goal is to develop the next revolutionary concept in mining.
Outlook for the Mining Industry of the Future
Mining IOF organized its portfolio around the energy-intensive nature of the mining process. The energy consumption in the three opportunity areas are:
- Materials Handling, which consumes 42% of the total energy used in mining
- Beneficiation & Processing, which consumes 39% of the total energy used in mining
- Extraction, which consumes 19% of the total energy used in mining.
Current Research
The current portfolio in these opportunity areas consist of:
Extraction: Ten projects
Materials Handling: Six projects
Beneficiation and Processing: Twelve projects
The portfolio is soon to grow from 28 to 33 projects with a total DOE cost-share in excess of $18 million. These additional projects are Beneficiation and Processing technologies that respond to the Mineral Processing Technologies Roadmap and have a value in excess of $3 million in DOE cost share. The program has been funded since FY 1999 and has grown to a level of $5 million/year.
Grand Challenge Focus
To move to performance-based R&D, an energy analysis was performed to highlight the largest opportunities for energy savings in mining. They are:
- Reduce energy consumption in Materials Handling
- Diesels accounts for 87% of energy used in Materials Handling
- Reduce the energy consumption in Beneficiation & Processing
- Comminution activities account for 75% of energy used in Beneficiation & Processing
- Reduce the energy consumption and increase recovery efficiencies in Extraction
- Improvements in Extraction will reduce energy use in Materials Handling & Beneficiation and Processing: Target improve Extraction efficiencies
Current Research Partners
The Mining Industry of the Future has awarded 28 cost shared projects from three rounds of solicitations, ten from round one, 16 from round two, and 2 from round three. Round one and two were based on the Mining Industry Roadmap for Crosscutting Technologies. Round Three was based on the Mineral Processing Technology Roadmap. These projects are being carried out by 151 project partners in 28 states.
Partners are scattered across the U.S. giving the Mining Industry of the Future a wide range of experts from all areas of mining. The following are several ongoing Mining IOF Projects related to detecting underground mine voids:
Wireless Mine-Wide Telecommunications
Goal: To develop and apply high-temperature superconductors in underground communications to improve safety, productivity, and energy efficiency. The use of superconducting materials in communication equipment will increase the range of through-the-earth communications and make underground wireless networks commonplace in underground mining operations. The high-temperature Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUID) system can increase underground mining production by allowing better communications, and orientation and position information, which can benefit both an individual miner and a mining machine. This system also improves underground mining safety through wireless communications. The best approach to underground communications systems is to use low-frequency electromagnetic waves that can deeply penetrate into the earth. The existing low-frequency receivers are relatively insensitive to low frequency magnetic fields when configured into small packages and used over a wide bandwidth. Receivers based on high temperature SQUID technology are far more sensitive to low frequency magnetic fields, and can be placed in small packages easily carried by miners moving in an underground environment. The SQUID receivers possess the sensitivity and bandwidth to carry voice and data in a configuration that is easier to install and maintain than hard-wired technology. The first successful field test of a two base station combination was conducted at the Molycorp, Inc. facility in Questa, NM. The standard base station antenna is now an inexpensive copper loop that can be cable-tied to the tunnel mesh. A nearly identical antenna was built to establish two-way base station communications.

Wireless Mine-Wide Telecommunications Technology, Transtek, Inc.
Goal: To develop a two-way, real-time, wireless communications system for use in underground mines. This technology will lower the cost of mining by increasing productivity as well as the safety of miners. Project partners will design and test a comprehensive wireless mining communications system that will allow two-way communications among underground personnel and between underground and surface personnel. The wireless system will not require any dedicated cable inside the mine or between the mine interior and surface. This technology will increase system reliability and simplify the installation process making it considerably less disruptive to mining operations. Two methods of signal transmission will be studied. The methods differ in formatting approaches. The studies will center on evaluating the results of these approaches in terms of differences in product cost, clarity of signal, and freedom from interference. The chosen system will be optimized for performance and reliability. In-mine voice capability was developed. The through-the-earth voice technology capability has been expanded. Also, digital data transmission capability has been developed. The team will now develop tracking sensors and beacons and test the entire wireless telecommunications system.

Imaging Ahead of Mining
Goal: To use the Internet, instrumentation advances, and newly developed modeling and analysis software to accurately image the volume of material ahead of mining, thereby improving the quality of mined ore, reducing wear of mining machinery, facilitating mine operations, and reducing costs. RIM is an electromagnetic (EM) system that was developed to detect and map anomalous geologic conditions far in advance of the mining face. The elements of RIM are deployed on each side of the ore seam of interest that forms a natural waveguide for transmission of electromagnetic waves. Until recent hardware improvements, it was not possible to use a superior imaging algorithm with it. This project will analyze actual RIM data with a sophisticated finite difference imaging scheme and traditional tomographic methods. This new imaging scheme will accept data from RIM to produce an image of the distribution of electrical resistivity. This graphical map can delineate the interface between bounding rock and an ore seam, or show the presence of an anomaly within the seam ahead of the mining face. This project will also examine the possibilities of using the Internet to allow mining engineers to determine the applicability of RIM with the new software for specific geologic situations. By allowing mining operations to see beyond the mining face, this technology will improve mine planning, increase energy efficiency, decrease equipment wear, and produce a better quality product. The electronics and packaging are complete for both the In-Mine and Down-Hole RIM-IV Systems. MSHA certification (for flame-proofing and intrinsic safety) is in process. In-Mine RIM-IV has been tested ten times in an underground environment. Tomography images have been generated for five sites. Latest field tests show RIM IV system capable of 2000 feet range with phase stability greater than three degrees. There are now seven imaging frequencies available. The In-Mine system can be mechanically reconfigured for Down-Hole use with only an antenna and fiber-optic change.

Horizon SensingTM
Goal: To test remote sensing and imaging technology on the cutting edge of mining equipment to make real-time measurements of mining conditions. Researchers hope to develop a cutting-edge sensor that will improve worker safety, by preventing worker exposure to rock outbursts in deep mines and by allowing greater remote control of equipment, while improving the efficiency of mining operations. This project will demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of real-time horizon sensing and bit drag and side force measurements on cutting drums of longwall shearers and continuous mining machines. The sensing technology can also be applied to boring machines, front-end loaders, and drag lines. The application of cutting-edge technology to mining machines will reduce dust exposure to machine operators; enable mining of clean-coal, trona, and potash; minimize waste rock; increase energy-efficient recovery and yield; and enable automation of machines mining metal and nonmetal deposits. The HS physical assemblies are holding up very well to mining condition, impact/abrasion, and use from personnel. Parts have needed to be replaced to date due to normal usage, wear, or misuse. A dual frequency sensor system has been developed to further the sensitivity, resolution, and depth of penetration of the HS. An accelerometer-based circuit has been developed to control the measurement triggering of the roof and floor. This has provided cleaner measurements and improved signal-to-noise ratios. "Forward-looking" capabilities are being developed that will allow the HS (HS-RADAR) to detect anomalies in the coal seam ahead of mining, such as dikes, faults, and abandoned mine workings. The HS-RADAR prototype is being tested using a salt wall to simulate 25 feet of unmined coal seam. During a recent HS-RADAR demonstration for an audience of MSHA technical representatives: 1) a wall of salt was used to simulate a coal seam for HS-RADAR experiments, 2) Stolar successfully proved HS-RADAR could detect air voids through 23 feet of salt blocks, 3) the salt wall is considered a worse-case condition due to its block-like construction, and 4) the HS-RADAR results were confirmed by MSHA.

There are many books, videos and DVD's out there showing you the best tool to use as an improvised weapon, there are even more products out there that you can take with you as part of your every day carry (EDC) and use as an improvised weapon – some have practical applications and are actually useful, whilst some are gimmicky and should be thrown out with the trash at once!!!
I would like to offer you our combative take on the use of improvised weaponry, gained from various security situations and personal protection experiences.
Firstly we have to take note and stress that the use of any weapon is LETHAL force by its very nature – and as such should only be used in extreme circumstances when all the indicators point to a violent attack upon your person by larger, armed or multiple assailants.
Many people misconstrue the phrase "improvised" weapon and use it as a catch-all term. There are numerous examples of instructors showing all kinds of fancy moves and tricks with a range of everyday items that can be used as weapons in a variety of locks, traps and pain techniques. Pretty to look at I'm sure – but is it really effective against a determined aggressor whose only objective is to tear your head off?
There are many EDC options – pens, keys, kubotans, stingers, etc – and just as many environmental weapons on the street such as sticks, house bricks, bottles, lumps of metal, etc, and given enough time I can turn ANY item into an "improvised" weapon. Unfortunately THAT is the problem – TIME - or more precisely the lack of time to access the hardware and bring it into play effectively.
The term the modern combatives group prefers is "Expedient" (XPD) weapons. In other words, in order to use your weapon you first have to GET to it quickly. I can have the best personal weapon in the World, but if I am unable to reach it due to it being at the bottom of my briefcase then it is neither expedient nor improvised. It is nothing more than an expensive (and useless) accessory.
To be able to expediently access your "just in case" weapon it needs to be worked into your overall tactical self protection planning that gels with your lifestyle or environment. Think about what you carry on a day to day basis? Do you work in an office and have ready access to pens (stabbing weapon)? Are you a security guard with a sturdy flashlight (impact device) as part of your jobs equipment? How do you carry these items normally? Are they concealable? Are they easily accessible or do you need to re-orientate them for a more covert access?
All are questions which should be thought through as part of an individuals XPD covert carry strategy.
Naysayer's will tell you that XPD weapons are a waste of time, a distraction that get in the way of using unarmed skills to deal with a "problem" (this is usually said by someone who is built like a door and with hands the size of shovels). In certain cases this is true, and it can be that your "expedient" weapon is actually your hands, feet, elbows and knee strikes, but not every scenario is going to run the same way and we have to be adaptable to the situation at hand.
But what about the slightly built man or woman who finds themselves in a violent encounter – their unarmed skills may be minimal, so for them surely every advantage should be utilised if they feel the need to up the force level to protect themselves. This is termed the "moderately trained man" syndrome – where the individual has limited training and experience, but also recognises that they need some combative skills in order to survive a lethal street attack. For these people an XPD weapon may make the difference between life and death!
To put the whole scenario into context the quote from American security operator, Kelly McCann says it all, "Why are you doing combatives – you are only doing combatives to GET to a weapon – knife, stick, gun, etc." We don't want to fight him fair, we just want to be able to physically STOP him and make our escape.
At the other end of the spectrum the risk of over-relying on your chosen improvised weapon or EDC can become a disadvantage. It does not automatically equate that;
A) Just because you have the ability to PURCHASE an EDC device – you have the skills to use it!
B) You can quite easily develop the "bullet-proof" vest syndrome – in other words you are more likely to think you can handle a situation that is way out of your control, merely because you have the latest gadget or gizmo at your disposal.
On our XPD weapons training programs we teach the 4 "S" methods, which some readers who have trained with us will be familiar with. The 4 "S" methods comprise;
Regardless of the XPD weapon in use it will be deployed in one of the above ways. Rather than teach multiple ways for each individual item, we use a generic template with which to use the hardware combatively. For instance I can STAB with a mobile phones Ariel section, but can also SMASH with the base of the phone. The same applies for a stick; I can STRIKE with the shaft of the weapon and also SLASH with the tip!
From a tactical point of view, say approaching your vehicle late at night in deserted car park, pre-access and deployment in high-risk environments is recommended. If you've made the evaluation that the area or situation is a potentially threatening one then having the key ready in your hand as you near the car is a sound strategy. After all, the fastest draw is no draw at all!
Another basic principle is to use the weapon AS a weapon and NOT as a threat or compliance tool – it is the same basic principle as a firearm deployment - don't draw unless you are going to use it. As mentioned above this is not the time to "test" out fine motor skills and complicated C&R drills – you strategy should be to go "combative" with the said tool and start smashing, stabbing, striking and slashing in a sustained attack!
However, as with any tool – from knife, to pistol, to motor vehicle – it is no good if you don't practise deployment and train how to use the hardware effectively. Being approached by a street gang in a dark alleyway is not the time to wonder how your folding fighting knife opens up and works!!! It IS the time for instinctive reactions and gross motor skills.
Regardless of what your expedient weapon happens to be – in extreme circumstances - it MUST be applied with the maximum level of force. You are in a life threatening situation and in fear for your own personal safety – so you must honestly apply the necessary level of force to win through.
This is where mental combative attitude truly comes into its own – the "tool" that you use – hand, boot, stick, pen, key, house brick, - is largely irrelevant as it's the application of sustained violence that is essential.
That forward aggressive drive that powers into the attacker, hurting him and causes him to fear for his own life – as in any combative scenario it is the WILL to win through that is paramount, followed by the skills to apply that will and finally culminating in the expedient weapon at hand to do the job. If a "monster" is on his way to hurt my family – then believe me I'll make that blunt potato-peeler WORK for me, whatever the cost!!!
In conclusion the use of expedient weapons as a self protection tool is one option but not the ONLY option. But for civilian personal protection it should be borne in mind that the only way to stop the thug with the Stanley knife may be by ANY means necessary, or as the legendary close combat instructor W.E. Fairbairn stated, "Unarmed combat is only for those FOOLISH enough to be caught without a weapon."
Covet that statement – it says it all.

After many years of excellent service my IC703 decided to expire on TX last night: power started to drop when running 5W on 30m then 80m (good matched load), then nothing, although I could detect a signal on the FT817, probably at mW levels.
I believe this is a common IC703 issue. Does anyone have data on how to fix this and where I get the spare parts? I believe it is either a driver or PA failure.
Incidentally Martyn Lynch quoted £45/hr plus parts and shipping to do a repair. I don't expect I'd see any change from £100.
This is the first time in 42 years of operating that I have had ANY piece of amateur gear fail, confirming that generally equipment is reliable if used carefully, so I cannot complain.

No. 17 Florida State Men's Cruises To 5-2 Win Against South Alabama

Feb. 8, 2009
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 17 Florida State men's tennis team won the doubles point and the first three singles matches of the day to defeat South Alabama 5-2 at the Scott Speicher Tennis Center.
"This was a tough week because the weather was cold and we didn't get to practice as much as we'd like," FSU head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "I know that South Alabama is always dangerous so I'm pleased to get the win."
In doubles the Seminoles (6-2) split the first two matches with the Jaguars (1-4). On court one the 23rd-ranked duo of junior Jean-Yves Aubone and sophomore Clint Bowles defeated Marek Sramek and Romain Bocaert 8-5 on court one. On court two 47th-ranked seniors Drew Bailey and Maciek Sykut were upset 8-3 by Sergio Ramirez and Leo Dominguez. The match came down to court three where junior Vahid Mirzadeh and freshman Chris Reiman won the last five games of the match to defeat Hanno Bartsch and Dauw Kruger 8-5.
"Chris did a great job today considering he didn't even know he was going to play," Hultquist said. "Chris Cloer got sick and he stepped in there and played with a lot of energy."
The Garnet and Gold clinched the match in easy fashion with three quick victories. On court five Bailey got his first singles victory of the spring with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Aaron Krisan. On court two, No. 28 Bowles cruised to a straight sets win over Sramek 6-1, 6-2. After dropping the first game of the match Bowles won 10 straight games to take control of the match. Mirzadeh clinched the match for Florida State on court four with a victory against Dominguez 6-4, 6-2.
"I was really proud of Drew winning quickly as well with some other guys," Hultquist said. "Clint really took it to his guy who is a really good player and I feel like Vahid played the best of the season."
The biggest upset of the day came on court one where Ramirez upset No. 30 Aubone in straight sets 6-4, 6-3. South Alabama got its second point on court three when Bocaert upset No. 79 Sykut 7-6(2), 2-6, 1-0(9). In the last match on court six Reiman defeated Bartsch in three sets 6-1, 2-6 7-6(4) to close out the day.
Next up for the Seminoles are the finals of the ITA National Indoor Team Championships in Chicago, Ill. FSU's opponent will be announced on Monday, February 9, and play begins Thursday, February 13. For live stats and match recaps from the tournament log onto www.seminoles.com.

What a difference a year makes. At the end of 2005, Waianae's Melanie Bartels, touted as one of the most talented women of the new millennium, was frustrated, off the World Championship Tour after one short year and wondering whether she'd ever be able to translate her radical freesurfing to competition.
That was the old Melanie Bartels.
The new Melanie knows she can, especially after today when she took out the entire field in 4- to 6-foot Sunset at the Roxy Pro. "It's a dream, just a dream," said the explosive regularfoot. "I mean, I've never even made it past the third round in a WCT."
Freshly requalified and refocused on her pro surfing career, Bartels wasn't even supposed to be in the event. But she got the eleventh-hour nod into the trials when another surfer declined the invite. Then, after finishing second to Stephanie Gilmore, she got the eleventh-hour nod into the event itself when Silvana Lima bowed out with an injury. "It was like it was meant to be," she said.
This second-to-last WCT event of the year was supposed to be a showdown between world title contenders Layne Beachley, Melanie Redman Carr and Georgeson. But when Beachley and Redman Carr both lost in the semis, it became clear who the real standouts were. As commentator Jeannie Chesser said, "Don't count out the wildcards."
On one side, you had Bartels. Westside-powered, massive cheering squad – including Mom and son – on the sand and a shotgun approach to the shifty Inside Bowl. On the other: Stephanie Gilmore, a two-time WCT winner by the age of 19, a "guarants" world title winner in 2007 according to Mick Fanning and a smooth, precise approach that had Fanning singing praises from the bleachers. "She's the only girl doing proper turns," he said of his fellow Snapper Rocks surfer. Four-time world champ Lisa Andersen was blown away by both of them and said if Melanie could get her competitive head together, she and Stephanie would be dueling for the crown for years to come.
Perhaps the final was just a glimpse of it. With Georgeson and Ballard in a combo situation, Gilmore enjoyed a comfortable lead over Bartels after lacing together a handful of even-flow carves. And just when her countrywomen started unfolding the Aussie flag, Bartels struck with just seconds remaining: a medium Inside wedge, a Makaha-special power carve and tube to bring it on home. The score she needed: 6.8. The score she got: 7.5. "I'm just here to put the Westside on the map," she said. "I mean, I'm from the Westside. We don't have much over there. To get paid to travel the world and surf…it just doesn't get any better."
Kelly Slater's been looking for an effective strategy at Sunset, and he just might have found it: sleep in. The eight-time world champ was still snoozing off a big night on stage with Pearl Jam at Waimea Falls this morning just minutes before his heat hit the water. With a few wake-up emergency calls and a fire drill, Kelly made it out the back a good six minutes into his heat. Pancho Sullivan fell, Ola Eleogram sat out the back and Nathan Carroll had an uncharacteristic shocker. And with just seven total points, Kelly found himself the heat-winner and relieved his rude awakening wasn't for nothing. Andy almost had a rude awakening of a different sort when he sat way up the point, with a minute remaining, needing a 7.8 to advance (keep in mind no one was getting 7s at this point). Out of nowhere he takes off behind the peak, stuffs himself in a mystery pit, and muscles out of it for an 8.5. "I said there was no way I was losing in that heat," he said. "I used to be able to will stuff to happen out there. I guess I still can." Other big advancements: California's Alex Gray, looking like a solid veteran after only two years on tour. And Mick Fanning saved the best for the last heat when he racked up a 9.5 and 8 – the second highest combined total of the contest. "I wasn't trying that hard," he said when he was told to save some for the final day. "The waves were just too easy."

If the past couple of Suburban League softball races were exciting with three teams in the hunt, then this season ought to be off the hook with four teams in contention for the championship.
La Mirada, Mayfair and Cerritos each have had a piece of the title pie over the last few years, but the addition of Norwalk to the mix should make for a most intriguing season.
La Mirada, which won nine league crowns in a row before being unseated in 2010, reclaimed the title last year and is favored to repeat this season.
The biggest reason for the Matadores' optimism is P Valeri Alvarado (4-1, 1.10 ERA, 53 strikeouts in 44 2/3 innings). One of the top pitchers in the area, she was outstanding as a freshman and should be even better this year.
Combined with P/1B Stephanie Baro (4-1, 1.58 ERA), La Mirada has the best pitching duo in the league.
"That's a pretty good 1-2 punch," coach Rich Trujillo said. "That's probably the best 1-2 punch we've had in a few years."
The pitching definitely will keep the Matadores in every game, and the key will be how much run support will be provided.
La Mirada is not the best hitting team in the league, but it does have a nice nucleus of talent in C Annie Dipillo (.370, 23 RBIs, 3 HRs), 3B Lindsey Cole (.380), SS Mercedes Gasparovic (.291, 18 RBIs) and OF Christian Viayra and a new crop of up-and-comers in OF Tiffany Centero, OF Erika Romero, 2B Monica Navarette and OF Jessica Gutierrez.
"I feel good about this team," said Trujillo, whose team opened the season ranked No. 7 in CIF-SS Division 2. "We definitely have the talent to win league again. The league is stronger and I know we will be pushed. But we are confident in ourselves."
Mayfair, which won back-to-back titles in 2010-11, will be the team most likely to do most of the pushing.
The Monsoons, like always, can hit with the best of them with the likes of OF Jessica Torrez (.420, 23 RBIs, 27 runs), SS Lexie Shue (.315, 19 RBIs, 22 runs, 4 HRs) and P Nyah Rodman (15-8, 4.18 ERA, 108 strikeouts, .413, 27 RBIs, 32 runs, 4 HRs). Catcher Sarah Parten and 2B Ashley Snyder are key newcomers, but Mayfair's success likely will depend on the consistency of Rodman in the circle.
"I'm excited to see what this young and talented group will do throughout this season," said coach Erin Brown, whose team is ranked No. 7 in Division 2. "They have the athleticism and heart to get it done."
Cerritos took a small step back last year after earning a share of the title in 2010, but the Dons expect to bounce back with a young team led by a core group of sophomores.
At the head of that class is P Jennifer Iseri (12-4, 1.58 ERA, 132 strikeouts, .467, 21 RBIs, 16 runs), who was among the team leaders in most categories as a freshman. Others in that talented class include SS Melanie Okazaki (.571), OF Amanda Lejano (.348), OF/1B Jasmine Javier , OF Megan Darling (.333), C Heather Cameron (.309) and 3B/OF Madison Lee (.357).
Senior P Kaylilani Minami (4-1, 1.60 ERA, .276) and juniors 3B Erin Clinton (.345, 20 RBIs) and 2B Lilianna Hererra (.382) will be looked to for leadership.
"I'm confident about this year. I'm confident we are going in the right direction," coach Bob Medina said. "This is a young team, so as for winning the Suburban League I'm not quite sure we are ready yet."
Norwalk hasn't been too much of a factor since claiming a share of a three-way championship in 2009. But the Lancers, under new coach Tony Aguirre, are expecting to play a bigger role in deciding this year's race.
Norwalk has the bats to make plenty of noise. Pitcher Destiny Vasquez (.456, 30 runs, 22 RBIs), OF Viviana Gomez (.314, 16 runs, 13 RBIs), SS Jen Vasquez ().311, 19 runs, 20 RBIs),3B Crystal Cano (.338, 11 runs, 18RBIs), C Sam Lujan (.373, 27RBIs, 15 extra-base hits) and 2B Jazmin Guzman (.512, 29 runs) put up big numbers last year and should do so again this season.
"I told the girls that we are not a fourth-place team. I think we can be first or second," Aguirre said. "We have solid hitting all the way down the order."
The key for the Lancers is how well Vasquez (3-8, 2.61 ERA) can pitch against the strong-hitting contenders.
"I think she can stand up against them this year," Aguirre said.
Artesia made strides to become more competitive last year with first-year coach Jeff Hovis, and the Pioneers should continue in that direction this year.
Outfielder Dominique Gonzales (.348, 19 runs) returns as do 3B/OF Kira Ito (.489, 22 RBIs, 13 runs, 13 extra-base hits), P Dominique Moran (7-9) and C Briana Perez (.305). Top newcomers include INF Sarah Guerrero, INF Sabrina Manzano, 1B/OF Ali Vega.
Bellflower continues to rebuild. The Bucs have a new coach this season in Alyse Smith and a trio of top returning players in P Melissa Martinez (3-8, 4.89 ERA, .328, 15 RBIs), 3B/1B Taylor Stewart (.569, 16 runs) and SS/3B Taylor Ancona (.457, 22 runs).
Glenn will fight with Bellflower and Artesia to stay out of the basement.

Full heritage assessment some time off
25 February 2011
Full heritage assessment some time off
Discussions on what steps need to be taken to retain heritage landmarks will become clearer once public safety is assured and emergency services have declared the sites safe, says the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT).
NZHPT Chief Executive Bruce Chapman is in Christchurch to support the organisation's staff and to begin assessment of the damage to Christchurch's heritage buildings. Once the all-clear had been given to access the central city a more detailed assessment will be able to be made in consultation with the council, structural engineers, owners and government agencies.
"Clearly damage to landmark buildings such as the Provincial Chambers, The Press building, the Arts Centre, the Basilica, and the Anglican church in Cathedral Square are significant. The NZHPT-managed Timeball Station has also suffered serious damage.
"These buildings are much-loved, iconic landmarks that helped to tell Christchurch's story and have made the city the special place that it is and what locals and visitors readily identify with.
"There is no easy answer to whether Christchurch can rebuild its damaged historic buildings. Once the full extent of damage is known then discussions can begin on how Christchurch can rebuild, what buildings it can retain and the costs involved.
"But that's a conversation that no one is having right now. Like everyone else our thoughts are firmly on the safety of people in the city, and with the remaining rescue and recovery work."
Mr Chapman said there were a huge number of buildings needing to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, but the people of Christchurch and the rest of the country were already commenting on the enormous sense of loss felt for the city's character.
"This seems likely to be a discussion that many people will want to take part in."

5.0 stars 12 totalReview Scott Feifer
Posted by Todd Muhlstock
I have sent about 10 clients/friends/family to Scott Feifer and all were very satisfied. I have received nothing but praise for the introductions. I will go to no other lawyer for traffic help!
Posted by Evan
Was given a full free consult which was very helpful. Decided to work with the firm and was kept in the loop the entire time and I saved a ton of money in fines and surcharges, not even including insurance. I'd definitely use them again.
Posted by Brad
My experience was less than impressive. I have no complaints about their administrative performance. They were effective at locating my ticket, collecting their fee (over $800 for us both), and setting court dates, unfortunately they lost my TVB case which seemed easily won and took what I thought was a poor plea deal for my wife's ticket leaving her with 3 pts and a large fine, and me with a modest fine, 6 pts., and a large court assessment of $300. When I asked for an explanation, I received generalized excuses and a form letter explaining all the possible reasons the outcome was negative. What I did not receive was any specific details about my case or the proceedings. No one went over the case with me, nor my wife's, nor were either of us invited to attend court. When I expressed my displeasure to the firm, Scott was happy to take a contentious and argumentative position with me on the phone. Overall, I am left with a sense that I was not rigorously defended nor did I receive much benefit from hiring Feifer and Greenberg. I would not recommend this firm.
Posted by Timothy
I got a speeding ticket in the Bronx for going 84/50. Scott explained how that court operates and gave an extremely forthright assessment of my case. He didnt promise the moon. I called 3 other attorney offices for consultations and Scott was the only one who gave me an honest answer about my chances of winning. Scott was the only attorney I called who bothered to pick up the phone at all. The other firms passed me off to "administrative assistants" who told me they win 95%. Scott told me why that was baloney given how the court operates. Special shout out to the office staff who always answered my questions and kept me informed of what was happening. Excellent service all around. Oh, and they WON my case.
Posted by Mike
Have used Scott's firm for several speeding and moving violations. Have always been satisfied with the results and have had all my questions answered by Scott and his staff in a prompt manner. Have recommended to several friends, who all had similar experiences.
Posted by Joseph
I received a speeding ticket do 64 in a 45. Mr. Feifer was able to get it knocked down to a parking ticket. He is a miracle worker. I would highly recommend Mr. Feifer and his knowledgeable staff to any of my friends and family.
Posted by Margo
I had two sets of tickets in the same court in Nassau County. Scott explained how it would work and handled every aspect of the case. I really did nothing and at the end of it all was notified that everything was reduced down to parking tickets. And the staff at Feifer & Greenberg couldn't have been nicer or more responsive to a couple of questions I had along the way.
Posted by Thomas
I work with Scott all of the time. He is knowlegable, reliable, and trustworthy. Scott Feifer is my go-to attorney in NYC.
Posted by anonymous
A work friend of mine recommended I call Scott after I got a VERY unfair speeding ticket in the Bronx. Scott explained that plea bargaining at the TVB wasn't an option and that we were forced to go to trial. No idea how he did it but the case was dismissed. No points, no fine. Needless to say I was happy.
Posted by Ron
Recommended to me by a co-worker. They were professional and worked as a team to fight my tix. Two tix and I got no pts when it was all over.

|Dead man walking.
|Helen Prejean ; [traducción, Maite Subirats].
In 1982, Sister Helen Prejean became the spiritual advisor to Patrick Sonnier, the convicted killer of two teenagers who was sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisiana's Angola State Prison. In the months before Sonnier's death, the Roman Catholic nun came to know a man who was as terrified as he had once been terrifying. At the same time, she came to know the families of the victims and the men whose job it was to execute him--men who often harbored doubts about the rightness of what they were doing. Out of that dreadful intimacy comes a profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment. Confronting both the plight of the condemned and the rage of the bereaved, the needs of a crime-ridden society and the Christian imperative of love, Dead Man Walking is an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty, a book that is both enlightening and devastating. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Moviemaking; Tell The Story
It did not take long to answer him. The project, a big challenge because of the way Bruno wanted to shoot the film, the ideas behind the movie, the story and the minimal recourses we had to make this all happen.
Over two years we have been planning, shooting, editing, and are at the final stage of the film.
On this site you will find a lot of information about the way we went through the proces and the hurtles we had to take.
The film was shot on the Blackmagic Design's Cinema Camera in 2.5K RAW and edit in FCP X.
Color correction and compositing was done in Davinci Resolve, dialogue editing and sound design and mixing in Pro Tools 10 and Logic X
The Book Of Mikey will be send to both national and international film festivals. The official trailer will be available here soon.
It is like the comic book, like the movie itself…
I hope you enjoy the story of the adventure called movie making

Milwaukee Talks: Packers long snapper Brett Goode
(page 2)
OnMilwaukee.com: You're active on Twitter – did you catch any of the wrath of Badgers fans being an Arkansas alumnus?
Brett Goode: Just in the locker room there was media in here asking questions about it. But none of that. Nobody really said anything outside of the building.
OMC: Your passion for music is widely known, as it is for some of your teammates. Tom Crabtree really enjoyed the pairing of Paul McCartney with the surviving members of Nirvana on the 12-12-12 concert to benefit the victims of Hurricane Sandy – if you could make a dream bill, who would it include?
BG: I'm a huge fan of country, so obviously I'd like to see both Hank Williams', them and Waylon (Jennings) and Merle (Haggard), see them mixed together with some new artists like Jason Aldean and Jamey Johnson. Those guys. I'm a big fan of "red dirt" music like Wade Bowen and Stoney LaRue. Cross Canadian Ragweed, they kind of broke up but now (lead singer) Cody Canada is in The Departed now. I'd like to see them all get together. That'd be a pretty good show.
OMC: The Resch Center can get some acts up to Green Bay, but with your schedule is it hard to get out to see live shows during the year or do you try to cram it in all in the offseason?
BG: Most of the time I definitely do it when I'm back home. Red dirt bands go to smaller bars and stuff like that so you're able to get in and it's not a huge crowd so you always kind of feel like you're in the front row. That's pretty nice to be able to watch that. In the offseason if there's a band over at the Resch I'll go over to see that but during the season I usually don't tend to go over there too much just because I don't like fighting the traffic and the crowd.
OMC: Speaking of crowd, have you ever used your Arkansas alumni or Packers status to secure some tickets for yourself or family for a big act you'd like to see?
BG: I try to avoid that. I love listening to live music but if I'm going I want to go with friends and family so we try to schedule that so we can all kind of go. I don't want to go if only one person can go with. You want to be able to spend that quality time with others so if we're not able to do that, we'll find something else to do.
OMC: Your bio says you were pouring concrete when the Packers called you in September 2008 – is that true, or a slight embellishment to your backstory?
BG: No, I was actually on a construction site (in Fort Smith). We were getting ready to do that and we were actually taking a break when the phone rang. It was perfect timing I guess that we were on a break and I was by my phone and I immediately dropped my tool belt and left, went home, packed up and flew up here.
Want more from Goode? Check out his quick video interview with OnMilwaukee.com last year.

The Hibernian Building at 18 Albion Street, Wakefield, Mass.
The Hibernian Building at 18 Albion Street, Wakefield, Mass.
Klapes, Jeffrey M., 1964-
Wakefield, Mass. : The author,
Photos show views of the commercial building located at 18 Albion Street on the south side of the street at the corner of Foster Street. The structure was originally built around 1800 and located a few buildings to the east at the corner of Albion and Main Streets. Samuel Wiley had built the house, and later expanded it to include a tavern. In 1858 the building was raised and a first floor added underneath. It is at this time that it was known as the Quannapowitt House. In the 1780s the tavern was broken into pieces and moved. The southern end was moved to the current location at the corner of Albion and Foster Streets, and it was converted to a neo-Tudor style with ornamental half-timbering and a stucco exterior. Starting in 1924 it was used by the Hibernian Order. In more recent years it has also been known as the Sardella Building. The building now incorporates 6 Foster Street as well as the Albion Street address. Photos taken at 8:45 a.m. on Monday, July 28, 2008.;Detailed entry in building survey, "The cultural resources of Wakefield", pC45.

Hunt and the hunted: AFL targets NRL's monopoly on islanders
The AFLs much trumpeted signing of Karmichael Hunt is a signal to young players of South Pacific background that their sublime athleticism, particularly their spectacular leaps for the ball, is highly valued by Australias only indigenous football code.
The NRLs recent cultural push has been in the opposite direction, encouraging players of Polynesian and Maori heritage to learn more about their backgrounds while rejecting any affirmative action which would make them stakeholders in rugby league.
Despite the protestations of officials of both codes that Hunts signing is a one-off, the AFL and NRL are engaged in an escalating tug-of-war over Polynesian/Maori players particularly the spring-loaded feet of Brisbanes Israel Folau, the main prize.
Hunt, born in Auckland to Samoan and Cook Island parents, will be used by the AFLs new Gold Coast team as a hard-hitting midfield defender but his inability to kick with both feet and his mediocre talents in the air mean he wont be near the ball at the scoring end of the paddock. Furthermore, the AFL are legislating body contact out of their code their punishing of hits off the ball meaning Hunts tackling wont be valued in the long term as much as Folaus marks.
Hunts loss to the NRL is minimal in the sense he is not among the best six fullbacks and has learnt little under the codes best coach (Wayne Bennett). His persistent cramping, which has mystified the Broncos, will be a problem in the AFL midfield, where players run 15 kilometres a game.
Still, NRL chief executive David Gallop and Titans supporters have done their best impressions of ostriches, with neither recognising the Polynesian implications of Hunts signing.
Gallop invoked the Chicken Little remark The sky is not falling in while the Titans argue their Gold Coast rivals cannot attract any established AFL stars north. But, as one senior NRL coach said this week, The AFL is coming to get us, and our blokes dont want to know anything about it.
Gallop has rejected the idea of a quota system, which would promote Polynesians/Maoris as head coaches or administration chiefs. Admittedly, Gallop made his comment before the Hunt signing, saying, I dont think its necessary to have mandated quotas, but we need to be conscious of the large Polynesian group in our game.
Melbourne assistant coach, Stephen Kearney, a Maori, has been considered as a possible head coach at some NRL clubs but his Storm colleague, Michael Maguire, is expected to win a top post ahead of him. Maguire is on a shortlist for the Newcastle Knights position, which will become vacant when incumbent Brian Smith moves to the Roosters at the end of the season.
Gallop said he was familiar with the NFLs Rooney Rule which mandates that at least one Afro-American candidate must be interviewed for a head coaching position. The rule was introduced seven years ago following a recommendation by an NFL committee chaired by the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dan Rooney. When it was introduced, 67 per cent of players were Afro-American, yet only 6 per cent of head coaches were black. Now, a quarter of NRL coaches are Afro-American including the coach of the Steelers, the Super Bowl champions.
This year, the Rooney rule was extended to include senior football operations positions. One minority or black candidate, as the NFL describes them, must be interviewed when a club seeks to fill the position. There are five Afro-Americans in the 32 senior managerial positions in the NFL.
Gallop argued a first step was for Polynesians to become leaders in their own communities, rather than the NRL. I discussed it with Nigel Vagana [the former Bulldogs/Sharks player now a community affairs officer in the NRL], and he said it was hard for a Polynesian to become a leader in a new environment like a football club until they were comfortable being leaders of their own people, Gallop said. If they get this right, they can become mentors.
Last week, Gallop attended a graduation ceremony in Brighton-le-Sands, at which a group of Samoan NRL players received certificates for successfully completing a 12-week course on the language, history and customs of their homeland.
Gallop presented diplomas to players including Ben Roberts (Bulldogs), Roy Asotasi, Eddy Pettybourne and David Faalogo (Souths) and Misi Taulapapa and Terry Seu Seu (Cronulla). The course is a precursor to the establishment of an NRL Polynesian advisory group, similar to the indigenous player group which advises on issues affecting Aboriginal players. The players have already agreed they will work at next years Toyota Cup induction camps to talk about the need for cultural awareness in general and to specifically assist players of Polynesian background, Gallop said.
The initiative comes at a time when elite juniors born in Australia of Polynesian parents are nominating themselves as Australian. Inevitably, this will lead to fewer talented players making themselves available for South Pacific countries at the senior level, particularly World Cups.
Hunts signing is a signal to these youngsters: dont play rugby league for Tonga or Samoa, play AFL on the Gold Coast or in western Sydney.
