Following Facebook's Places announcement popular location service Foursquare saw a spike in user signups. This comes according to a Tweet by Fourqsquare co-founder Dennis Crowley: "Just heard from The @HarryH that today was @foursquare's biggest day ever in terms of new user signups." @HarryH is the Twitter account for Foursquare's lead engineer Harry Heymann.
While many see Facebook's entrance into the location game as competition for Foursquare, others see a different side of things. Foursquare now has the same problem that Twitter did in the early days: people just don't see what the point is. They don't understand why they'd want to share their location. They probably don't even understand what a check-in is. Facebook Places will change that and this rush of Foursquare sign-ups is evidence.
Thanks to the Places API, Facebook is currently serving as a platform for services like Foursquare and Gowalla. And thanks to their 500 million users, Facebook is introducing the concept of location to millions of new users. It shouldn't be surprising that some of those users are now interested in Foursquare after yesterday's announcement (and subsequent tidal wave of press).
Foursquare is currently sitting at about 2.8 million users, so we can expect that to hit 3 million pretty soon. This doesn't mean that Foursquare or any other location service is in the clear. Facebook has a lot of clout and a huge network. They will start stepping on toes and Foursquare is going to have to stay on theirs to stay relevant and successful.
One major difference between Facebook Places and Foursquare is the question of identity. Sharing your location is serious business and you probably don't want the entire of the Internet knowing where you are right now. With Foursquare, identifying who these people are that want to know your location is a challenge. On Facebook, it's easier to tell who is who and you can rest a little easier.
Facebook Places still has a way to go as well. As with any new Facebook feature, there will be a backlash. The opt-in/opt-out process for Facebook Places is pretty confusing. Most users are currently in a state of limbo regarding checkins. Remember that your Facebook friends can check you into a venue. Once they do that, you will get a notification asking what you want to do. You can A) Accept the check-in so you have nothing to do with it or B) Say "Not Now," which won't check you into the venue, won't show anything on your wall, but your name is still linked in your friends' News Feed.
There are already various posts that talk about how to protect your privacy on Facebook Places and the fire storm is surely just beginning. Once things calm down, it will be interesting to see what moves the major location players make to keep things interesting.
Of all the places to mess that up and I did it in the title? Wow. And here I thought I was being careful. Thanks, Hank!
Hey Hank,
You're absolutely right. Thanks so much for catching our oversight!
I think your headline is supposed to read that *foursquare* had its best day ever, not facebook.

Marvellous sewing machine
This Real Gift certificate has the value of one sewing machine. For a woman living in difficult conditions, a sewing machine can mean a better future and the opportunity to support her children and herself. Thanks to Real Gift donors, People in Need can purchase sewing machines for women in Congo, Namibia and Sri Lanka.
By purchasing a Real Gift certificate you will support our LIVELIHOODS program.
See below for the preview of our Real Gift certificate, read a story or watch the video about how a Real Gift helps.
By purchasing this certificate you will contribute to the aid program LIVELIHOODS.
Proceedings from the LIVELIHOODS program are used to help people start out on their own. We help particularly those individuals who lost their livelihoods or are unable to support their families because of a natural disaster or war. Fishermen receive canoes and fishing nets to enable them to get back to fishing. Farmers are provided with sheep, cows or agricultural equipment or seed stock. Finally, we hold training courses for those who are starting a new trade.
Our aim is to help people achieve economic independence for themselves. We have neither the intention nor the ability to provide long-term support once individuals and their families are in a position to support themselves. Thanks to LIVELIHOODS projects, these people are able to stand on their own two feet again.
Mrs. Déví lives in Sri Lanka in an area that was until recently occupied by Tamil Tigers rebels. During the fighting she lost her husband and spent over a year in a refugee camp with her children. People in Need helped her to start out again by providing her with a sewing machine purchased through Real Gift, thanks to which she can support her family.
|My neighbors know I can sew well
Mrs. Premila lost a part of her family and her home during the war in Sri Lanka. Thanks to the donation of a sewing machine, she can now sew and support her children. "When we left our homes running away from the war, soldiers were bombarding our village and the road. We were trying to escape as fast as we could towards the north of the country to the town of Vavuniya. My mother and my eight-year-old daughter and many other people didn't survive the bombings," 29-year-old Premila tells us almost mechanically with an empty expression on her face.
She and her family spent most of 2009 in a refugee camp. The army released them in October 2009 but on their return they found that their house had been destroyed. "We don't have a house, so we live in temporary accommodation made of sheet metal. Otherwise, things went back to normal. My children – 6-year-old Januha and 10-year-old Sangeeth – attend a local school and I work as a teacher in a nursery school. I earn around 3,000 rupees per month (approx. 25 EUR). It's better than nothing but it's far from enough to support our family. Everything now is expensive – rice, vegetables, just everything. I only have a temporary contract at work so the school director can tell me any time that he doesn't need me," Premila explains.
"Before the war I used to make nice dresses for the whole family. We used to have a house and a sewing machine and money to buy fabric," reminisces Premila of better times past. "Now, thanks to a sewing machine from the Czech Republic, I can make dresses to order in the evenings, nights or weekends to make extra money, which we need badly. My neighbors know that I can sew well and anyone who can afford it brings me their fabric to make some piece of clothing for them. I take a lot of much pleasure from it! People appreciate your work if you do it well. And I'm not afraid of work," says Premila resolutely.
Some facts about Sri Lanka
Srí Lanka was hit by a tsunami in 2004. Even before this, the country was embroiled in a civil war which claimed 75,000 lives and during which millions of people lost their property and were forced out of their homes.
Since 2005, People in Need has been helping people affected by the armed conflict and the tsunami. Thanks to the help of donors from the Czech Republic we have been successful at restoring livelihoods and helping people get their lives back to normal.

Where are the duchies of Lauenburg, Schleswig, and Holstein, and where the treaty of 1852 in regard to them?
The capital is Ratzeburg, and there are two other towns, Mlln and Lauenburg.
Do you know that it was your father who brought my mother to him from Lauenburg?
The disgraced minister spent the winter in Hamburg, and the following summer at his chteau of Wotersen, in Lauenburg.
The next day, an express arrived from the Duke of Lauenburg, announcing his approach.
As a matter of fact, Bismarck never used the ducal title of Lauenburg conferred on him.
In 1871 the emperor presented him with a large part of the domains of the duchy of Lauenburg.
Franz Albert of Lauenburg, who had joined the army the day before, rode by the king.
On his retirement the emperor created him duke of Lauenburg, but he never used the title, which was not inherited by his son.
But though the Polabi of Lauenburg were a frontier population they were not isolated.

AS far as playing record goes, 2012 was Warrington's best so far at The Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Only one home loss came during the regular rounds of Super XVII and there was one additional defeat in the play-offs before Wolves, who finished second to Wigan in the table, reached the Grand Final at Old Trafford for the first time.
Both falls on Warrington soil came against old foes St Helens, 28-16 in March and then 28-6 in September before Tony Smith's men had the last laugh by beating Saints at Langtree Park to qualify for the final showdown with Leeds Rhinos.
Although fifth-place finishers Leeds came out on top in October to be crowned champions, Warrington had ruined them 35-18 in the Challenge Cup Final at Wembley in August to complete a run that had only presented one home tie - a 32-16 fifth round defeat of Bradford Bulls.
So, it meant for the fourth year in a row a Wolves campaign ended with silverware as the stadium effect continued to play its part on a club that had won nothing for the past 13 seasons at Wilderspool.
It was therefore quite a debut campaign in primrose and blue for Chris Hill, Trent Waterhouse and Stefan Ratchford, while it was positive for the club's future that academy players Ben Currie and Brad Dwyer broke into a first team packed with international stars.
Attendances reached a new high too, with the selling of more than 8,000 season tickets a nod back to the record points scoring season of 2011.
For Super League games, the average 'gate' stood at 11,456 – 300 more than the previous term and the highest since the 1955/56 season that followed Wolves' final Championship-winning campaign.
With the ground extensions at the east end opening at the start of the season, the capacity was raised from 13,024 to 15,000. The visit of Saints in March was a sell-out – Warrington's largest home crowd for 38 years.
Probably the most enjoyable showing at The Halliwell Jones Stadium in 2012 was the 15-6 win against Catalan Dragons on July 9.
Wolves, whose much-depleted team had been smashed 48-24 at Salford a week earlier, needed the victory to stay in touch with table toppers Wigan and to build confidence ahead of the following week's Challenge Cup semi final against Huddersfield.
Catalan looked title contenders themselves at the time and it was a highly enjoyable old-fashioned but fast-paced bash-up with bags of skill on show, tipped Warrington's way with tries from Ben Westwood and Ryan Atkins.
Grand Final win shows promise
WARRINGTON Wolves' under 20s team completed the double in 2012 with a 36-20 victory over Leeds Rhinos in the Valvoline Cup Final at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on September 29.
The Grand Final success followed capture of the League Leaders' Shield, which was secured ahead of second-placed Salford with 17 wins from 20 outings.
Wolves team versus Leeds: Jordan Burke; Gene Ormsby, Rhys Evans, James Saltonstall, Rhys Williams; James Mendeika, Bobbie Goulding; Glenn Riley, Brad Dwyer, Ben Evans, James Laithwaite, Ben Currie, Matty Blythe. Subs: Brooke Broughton, Liam Hulme, Danny Bridge, Gavin Bennion.
Lee breaks records
LEE Briers was in record-breaking form in another momentous year for him.
He made his 400th appearance for the club in a 30-10 defeat of Wigan at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on August 11, while two months earlier he kicked his 1,000th goal for Wolves in a thrilling 37-18 success against Leeds Rhinos on a night that will also be remembered for wearing their 'mostly orange' charity shirt in aid of Motor Neurone Disease.
Earlier in the year the veteran stand off became the first Warrington player to pass the 2,500 points milestone for the club.
England makes first appearance
ANTHONY England made his Halliwell Jones Stadium debut in 2012.
The prop, a new signing for Wolves in 2014, was in the front row for the Featherstone Rovers side that lost 20-16 to Sheffield Eagles in the Championship Grand Final on September 30.
In the curtain raiser, Doncaster defeated Barrow 16-13 in the Championship One Grand Final.
No trouble taming Broncos
WOLVES' biggest home win of the season was 50-10 against London Broncos.
It was the third year in a row that the club from the capital had suffered such fate.
In the corresponding fixture in 2011, Wolves secured their Super League record success of 82-6, while on the opening day of the 2010 season Chris Riley contributed five tries to a 58-0 trouncing.

The new mom posted a full slate of personal pictures running down the website - with shots including romantic pics of her alongside rap star hubby Jay-Z.
Other shots show off the "Halo" singing hottie's fine figure, as numerous bikini clad shots from tropical getaways help fill in the seemingly endless lineup of Tumblr posts.
Rounding out Beyonce's newly launched page are costume photos, pics of her alongside sister Solange and fancy dinner outing snaps - with one such shot showing her puffing on a stogie.

Special coverage: Day Four
Mantia Wins 2nd Gold, Sets 10K Record
Watching the Competition - USA's Dane Lewis (left), Jonathan Garcia and Joey Mantia await the start of Monday's 3000-meter relay.
Emerging from two days of setbacks, USA's Joey Mantia roared back into contention for the overall men's title at the World Championships today by winning the gold and setting a new world record in the 10,000-meter points race.
The gold medal put the 20-year-old from Ocala, Fla., into second place in the individual standings at the championships, just behind New Zealand's Kalon Dobbin.
But the day was not free of frustration for Mantia, who has been hampered by a series of problems at Worlds, including interference by competitors and questionable calls by officials.
In the finals of today's 200-meter time trial, Mantia's chances for a medal were hampered by a problem with the timing device. When Mantia skated his time trial (each skater races alone against the clock), the race computer failed to record his time.
Race officials allowed him to try again, as required by international racing rules. But they only gave him a few minutes to rest — the time it took for the last four qualifiers to complete their time trials. And when he tried again, his time (16.817 seconds) was slower than his qualifying time and only good enough for 10th place.
The Italian sprinter Gregorio Duggento won the event with a new world record of 16.209 seconds. In setting the record, the Italian broke the mark he set last year at Worlds by more than two-tenths of a second.
Junior World Coach Linda Wood said Mantia "looked really fast" on his first attempt in the 200 meters. Had the computer recorded his time, "I don't think he would have beaten Duggento, but he would have placed second or third," she said.
Mantia, however, did not let disappointment ruin his next event, the 10,000-meter points race. He often skips the grueling event but decided to compete because he had something to prove, Wood said.
Fifty-eight skaters lined up for the start of the race on the 400-meter road coarse. A South African skater sprinted to an early lead and took the first point, but then dropped out of sight. (Points are awarded by finishing first on specified laps).
Mantia and teammate Jonathan Garcia stayed at or near the lead during the 25-lap race, but they were constantly challenged.
Mantia collected three points but lagged behind Korea's Yoo-Jung Nam and Chile's Jorge Reyes Aguilar, who both had four points each.
That meant that Mantia would have to win the race outright to assure victory. (The first skater to finish the race gets three points; the second, two; the third, one. ... Ties are broken based on order of finish.)
At the start of the final lap, Mantia peeled off to the outside of the front pack and passed several skaters to take the lead. He went on to finish two-tenths of a second in front of Australian Michael Byrne.
His time of 13 minutes and 46.801 seconds broke the world record for the 10,000 meters. The old record (14.18.540) was set by Yann Guyader of France during the European Championships in July.
"Joey showed the world today that he is a force to be reckoned with and that he will be back," Wood said.
Aguilar and Nam both faded at the end of the race and finished behind the lead pack. But the points they collected earlier in the race were enough to give them the silver and bronze, respectively.
Junior Bronze
The only other bright spot of the day for the U.S. team came in the junior women's 10,000 meters. Brianna Kramer, 15, won the bronze with the help of teammate Emily Scott.
Colombia's Carolina Upegui took the gold. Chile's star junior girl Catherine Penan was third.
USA's Jessica Smith was only able to manage a 13th place in the women's 10,000 meters. Argentina's Silvina Posade won the race; Korea's Hyo Sook Woo was second; Colombia's Liano Holguin, third.
No U.S. skater won a medal in the 200-meter time trial. Brittany Bowe finished seventh in the women's division, four-tenths of a second behind the winner, Colombia's Jennifer Caicedo.
World Power
Colombia collected another three gold medals today to further solidify its position as the top country at Worlds. In all, its skaters have collected 31 medals in the first four days of skating.
South Korea remains solidly in second place with 20 medals. New Zealand is in third with nine.
USA also has nine medals, but it has fewer silver medals (and more bronzes) than the Kiwis, and so remains in fourth place.
Racing continues tomorrow on the road coarse in Anyang with the 500-meter sprint and 20,000-meter elimination.

Millions of 'anosmics' struggle with a lost sense of smell
CHICAGO – Mimi Koberlein woke up one morning unable to smell the bacon her husband was frying for breakfast. Confused, she ran to the shower, grabbed her shampoo and inhaled deeply. Nothing. Two years later, Koberlein, 47, still can't smell lemons, freshly cut grass, her three boys or any other fragrances of life. Diagnosed with anosmia, or smell loss, she has tried decongestants, nasal irrigation, oral steroids and acupuncture. But nothing has worked.
Without scented cues to guide her, Koberlein said she now feels anxious about personal hygiene, frequently changing her clothes on hot days. She often forgets to eat, throws away perfectly good food in case it has spoiled and puts up with remarks about how "great" it must be not to have to smell stinky feet or dog poop.
Smell is often considered the most expendable of the five senses, the one people often say they would sacrifice if forced to give one up. But the olfactory system is far from dispensable; it warns about gas leaks or smoke and makes food and drink palatable. Smells communicate information, connect us to the environment and play a vital role in emotions and mood, arousal, memory and quality of life.
There are no evidence-based preventive measures, interventions or treatment options for smell disorders and fewer scientists in taste and smell research than in other fields, according to the National Institutes of Health.
That leaves anosmics – and there are millions of them – on their own as they struggle with a life upended by a disability few understand.
Anosmics report higher levels of depression, anxiety and social isolation. Eating and drinking become difficult; they lose their appetite; they have trouble cooking; and they gain or lose weight. They also frequently describe themselves as "frustrated," "disconnected," "missing out on something" and "lost," according to published studies.
Sufferers seek validation – or at the very least some empathy – but the condition is often trivialized. They sometimes receive disinterested, rude or callous "help" from doctors and are subjected to "smell tests" by disbelieving friends and family or strangers, according to interviews and published surveys.
'Eh, that's weird'
"I feel a little bit like a freak show," said Koberlein of Redwood City, Calif., who has lost 30 pounds since her sense of smell vanished. "If a person loses any other sense, there are fundraising drives, public education or awareness campaigns — at least some sympathy for the situation. With anosmia, it's just, 'eh, that's weird,' and people move on. For those of us who suffer from it, a big piece of our life experiences are gone."
At least 6.3 million Americans report problems with their sense of smell, a figure that is likely underestimated because many people aren't aware of their problem until it's severe or because doctors fail to perform adequate tests, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.
Standardized olfactory tests have been available since the mid-1980s, but very few physicians use them, making it difficult to track the number of people affected.
The prevalence of smell loss increases dramatically with age, affecting more men than women. Smell disorders also can be caused by a physical blockage, viruses associated with the common cold, head trauma and exposure to toxins.
Evidence of smell and taste disorders in association with other health problems is also increasing, according to the National Institute. People with early stage Alzheimer's disease, nongenetic forms of Parkinson's and polycystic kidney disease all report a reduced sense of smell. In addition, about 3 percent of those with olfactory disorders were born without the ability to smell.
Even though there have been no breakthroughs in treatments, some smell and taste clinics boast about outright cures or measurable improvements for their patients. But claims of cures are "unfortunate and misleading," said olfactory researcher Richard Doty, director of the University of Pennsylvania's Smell and Taste Center.
"Every hope is false hope," said Andreas Keller, a research associate at The Rockefeller University, who has studied the hidden consequences of olfactory dysfunction. "There's not much we can tell people."
'Nothing we can do'
At the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, where scientists conduct basic research on taste and smell, staffers regularly receive desperate emails from people who have lost their sense of smell and want advice on treatment. "All we can say is, 'I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do,' " said Leslie Stein, Monell's director of science communications.
Jack Hickey, 68, who lost his sense of smell four years ago after a viral infection, wasn't satisfied with that answer. Frustrated, he fired off a challenge. "If Monell doesn't lead the way in this area, who will?" Hickey wrote in an email to Monell Director Gary Beauchamp.
Beauchamp, in a thoughtful three-page letter, explained the hurdles – including the absence of public interest and funding to support research in the field – and invited Hickey to meet with him. The result was the seed money for the Monell Anosmia Project, a research and advocacy program, made possible by a six-figure donation from Hickey and his wife.
"There are millions of people who suffer from this, and I think Monell has a chance to do something in the next eight to 10 years," Hickey said.
Though he missed the new-baby smell of his first grandchild, "you count your blessings," he said. "But if I could just enjoy chocolate ice cream or one cold beer again – that's what I'm looking for."
The chemical senses of smell and taste, the oldest from an evolutionary perspective, interact with each other to produce flavor sensations. The loss of smell affects flavor, significantly affecting the dining experience. (Those with smell loss, however, still can often detect the five basic tastes – sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savory – along with spicy.)
Odors are created when objects in the environment release molecules. These molecules stimulate specialized sensory cells called olfactory neurons, which are found in a small patch of tissue high inside the nose, between the eyes. Once the neurons detect the molecules they send messages to the brain, which identifies the smell.
Jennifer Leigh, 40, who lost her sense of smell in her early 20s, underwent two sinus surgeries to help with breathing and hearing problems caused by sinusitis. Her smell returned for several months after each surgery but then vanished again.
"It bums me out if I think about it," said Leigh, of Evanston, Ill. "I didn't get the baby smell with my kids, and I eat food really spicy to give it a taste."
One night she heard someone pounding on her door in the middle of the night. A neighbor had smelled gas and alerted the gas company, which detected it under her door. Leigh didn't realize the burner on the stove hadn't fully clicked off.
"With three senses (smell, taste and hearing) affected, in some ways, I do feel it is similar to a disability," she said. "I've had to adjust to being closed off in some ways."

It's been churned about the rumour mill for some time now, but finally we have some specs to cast an eye over. The Samsung I8000 Omnia2 looks set to be one powerhouse of a phone, with GSM Arena claiming it will sport a gigantic 3.7-inch WVGA TFT resistive touch-screen, eight-megapixel camera with dual LED flash and VGA video recording abilities of up to 30 frames per second. As with the original Samsung Omnia, the Omnia2 will run on a Windows Mobile operating system, most likely to be version 6.1 (fingers crossed for 6.5). Other features include DivX/XViD video support, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G support (though we'd be surprised if it didn't also have the quicker HSDPA data connection).
The original Samsung Omnia received mixed reviews, so the Korean manufacturer will be hoping for a more positive response. Interestingly enough, the Samsung i8910 HD was originally touted as the Samsung Omnia HD, but they have now distanced this much hyped handset from the Omnia range.

According to a Bankers Life and Casualty Company survey, 70 percent of middle-class Baby Boomers fear they won't have enough cash to last through retirement. Too often, this fear leads seniors to make the decision to sacrifice better nutrition with fruits and vegetables for cheaper, less nutritional staples. Sweet Tomatoes wants to change that and help seniors living on a fixed income enjoy an affordable, nutritious meal.
Beginning April 9, all restaurants will offer seniors age 60-plus an all-you-care-to-eat meal for $6.99, Monday through Thursday from 2-5 p.m. The price includes a beverage. So for $6.99, guests age 60-plus will be able to enjoy a bounty of healthful options along the restaurant's more than 45-foot salad bar and also the soup, pasta, fruit and dessert stations – all of which feature options for every dietary consideration including vegan, vegetarian, omnivore and gluten-free. Plus, with a rotating monthly menu, guests will experience new options each month.
Currently, the price from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. is $8-$9 and from 4 p.m. – close, around $10, depending on location. Also, the price for a drink is around $2.50, depending on location.

This style of flute playing is probably what you think of when you think of the Native American Flute. This sound file is enhanced with "canyon" style echo. Overblowing sounds fantastic when enhanced with an echo. When you overblow, the sound jumps up one octive higher. This flute was crafted in the key of G and is made from western red cedar which produces a very mellow sound.
I think I heard this one in "Ninja Step" by J.Rabbit
Lovely. Thank you.

2006.126: Relating Individual Behaviour to Population Dynamics
2006.126: D.J.T. Sumpter and D.S. Broomhead (2001) Relating Individual Behaviour to Population Dynamics. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 268 (1470). pp. 925-932. ISSN 0962-8452

How do the behavioural interactions between individuals in an ecological system produce the global population dynamics of that system? We present a stochastic individual-based model of the reproductive cycle of the mite Varroa jacobsoni, a parasite of honeybees. The model has the interesting property in that its population level behaviour is approximated extremely accurately by the exponential logistic equation or Ricker map. We demonstrated how this approximation is obtained mathematically and how the parameters of the exponential logistic equation can be written in terms of the parameters of the individual-based model. Our procedure demonstrates, in at least one case, how study of animal ecology at an individual level can be used to derive global models which predict population change over time.

Scott M. Kimmel, Owner and President
New Day Fisheries, Inc.
2427 Washington Street
Port Townsend, Washington 98368-4610
Dear Mr. Kimmel:
We inspected your seafood processing facility, located at 2427 Washington Street, Port Townsend, Washington on June 7-8, 2012. We found that you have serious violations of the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulation, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123, and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation for foods, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 110 (21 CFR 123 & 110). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor of fish or fishery products to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of Part 123, renders the fish or fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4). Accordingly, your whole, cooked Dungeness crab and pickled herring are adulterated, in that they have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health. You may find the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation and the Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards & Controls Guidance through links in FDA's home page at www.fda.gov.
Your significant violations were as follows:
1. You must monitor sanitation conditions and practices during processing with sufficient frequency to ensure compliance with current good manufacturing practice requirements in 21 CFR Part 110, to comply with 21 CFR 123.11(b):
a. However, your firm did not monitor for protection of food and food contact surfaces from adulterants as evidenced by condensation dripping from the wooden ceiling and air vents into the processing and packaging area of whole, cooked Dungeness crab and the ingredient preparation area for pickled herring. The ceiling was also observed with insect webbing, peeling paint, and apparent rust and the air vents were observed with dust and apparent rust. Condensation was also observed in the ice storage area. The storage of an in-process tote of ice was observed in the rain outside the facility. [21 CFR 123.11(b)(5)]
b. Your firm did not monitor prevention of cross-contamination from insanitary objects to food, food packaging material, and other food contact surfaces as evidenced by water splashing from the floor of the facility onto cages of whole, cooked Dungeness crabs and two ice shovels used in the manual crushing and directing of ice, which were stored directly on an iced covered floor frequented by employees. [21 CFR 123.11(b)(3)]
c. Your firm did not monitor the condition and cleanliness of food contact surfaces, including utensils, gloves, and outer garments as evidenced by employee handling of raw crab subsequently followed by handling of cooked crab without changing, cleaning, or sanitizing gloves. [21 CFR 123.11(b)(2)]
d. Your firm did not monitor the exclusion of pests from the food plant as evidenced by the presence of rat excreta pellets in the dry storage warehouse, which stores food packaging material, salt, and onions, and gaps leading outside of your facility in several locations. [21 CFR 123.11(b)(8)]
e. Your firm did not monitor the safety of the water that comes in contact with food or food contact surfaces as evidenced by the storage of a potable water hose directly on a wet floor without back flow prevention. [21 CFR 123.11(b)(1)]
We acknowledge your firm's written response we received following our inspection. A letter, dated June 25, 2012, was received by our office addressing the observations made during the inspection we conducted at your firm. A review of this letter found the response to be partially adequate. Your written response to this observation is partially adequate in that you promised corrections by installing vent fans, repairing the freezer unit on the storage, and conducting employee training. Your written response provided documentation that your firm has hired a contract pest management company and are in the process of addressing gaps throughout the facility. The adequacy of these corrections cannot be verified at this time and will be verified during the next inspection of your firm. However, your written response does not identify how your firm will continue to monitor employee practices and sanitation to prevent future occurrences.
2. You must have a HACCP plan that lists the critical limits that must be met, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(c)(3). A critical limit is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(c) as "the maximum or minimum value to which a physical, biological, or chemical parameter must be controlled at a critical control point to prevent, eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable level the occurrences of the identified food safety hazard." However, your firm's HACCP plan for pickled herring lists a critical limit, "Check temperature on receipt must not be above (b)(4) degrees F" and "No decomposition (persistent and readily perceptible) in (b)(4) containers per shipment," at the Receiving critical control point that is not adequate to control histamine formation. Because you receive herring cutlets that are transported in excess of 4 hours, and for a period of up to six days, internal temperature checks at receipt and sensory analysis are not considered adequate controls of histamine formation that could occur throughout the transit of the product.
During the inspection you indicated that your firm will be creating a revised HACCP plan. Your written response did not indicate that your firm will complete a revised plan, and no revised HACCP plan was included for our review. Your written response was partially adequate in that your response states that you will have the herring supplier use transit time and temperature monitoring devices on each shipment; however, we were not provided with records to verify this correction.
3. You must implement the monitoring procedures and frequency that you have listed in your HACCP plan, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(b) and (c)(4). However, your firm did not follow the monitoring procedures and frequency of the continuous temperature monitoring of the storage cooler at the Storage Temperature critical control point to control pathogen growth due to temperature abuse listed in your HACCP plan for pickled herring. Continuous temperature monitoring records of the storage cooler were not available for at least three periods of time in which your firm was storing finished, pickled herring in the cooler:
a. On February 8, 2012, your firm produced and stored pickled herring but you did not have a continuous temperature recording chart record for the month of February, 2012.
b. On March 16, 2012, your firm produced and stored pickled herring but you did not have a continuous monitoring recording chart record for the week of March 12, 2012.
c. On April 27, 2012, your firm produced and stored pickled herring but you did not have a continuous monitoring recording chart record for the week of April 23, 2012.
Your written response to this observation is partially adequate in that the response indicated you had a meeting with your employees to discuss the importance of changing the temperature recording charts and that you have designated the responsibility to one individual. However, your response does not identify how your firm will ensure continued compliance and prevent future occurrences.
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations. For instance, we may take further action to seize your product(s) and/or enjoin your firm from operating.
Section 743 of the Act (21 U.S.C. 379j-31) authorizes FDA to assess and collect fees to cover FDA's costs for certain activities, including re-inspection-related costs. A re-inspection is one or more inspections conducted subsequent to an inspection that identified noncompliance materially related to a food safety requirement of the Act, specifically to determine whether compliance has been achieved. Re-inspection-related costs means all expenses, including administrative expenses, incurred in connection with FDA's arranging, conducting, and evaluating the results of the re-inspection and assessing and collecting the re-inspection fees (21 U.S.C. 379j-31(a)(2)(B)). For a domestic facility, FDA will assess and collect fees for re-inspection-related costs from the responsible party for the domestic facility. The inspection noted in this letter identified noncompliance materially related to a food safety requirement of the Act. Accordingly, FDA may assess fees to cover any re-inspection-related costs.
You should respond in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter. Your response should outline the specific things you are doing to correct these violations. You should include in your response documentation such as HACCP and verification records, or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, you should explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining violations.
This letter may not list all the violations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation (21 CFR Part 123) and the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulation (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Act and all applicable regulations.
Please send your reply to the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Jessica L. Kocian, Compliance Officer, 22215 26th Ave SE, Suite 210, Bothell, Washington 98021. If you have questions regarding any issues in this letter, please contact Jessica Kocian at 425-302-0444.

Tesla Ads Under Fire by California New Car Dealers Assn.
Tesla is looking trouble in the face again, this time because the California New Car Dealers Association says its advertising is in violation of various state and federal laws.
Complaints by the association say the California-based electric car company advertises federal tax credits and cost of ownership among in a way that misleads consumers.
"We would like the DMV to investigate whether Tesla has violated the law," Brian Maas, president of the California New Car Dealers Assn., told the L.A. Times. "At the minimum we would hope they would get Tesla to stop issuing advertisements in the form they are currently doing."
For Tesla, battling dealer associations is becoming routine. Usually, the electric car manufacturer manages to come out on top. Most states have allowed the brand's direct-to-customer sales model, but the brand lost its battle earlier this year with dealers in Texas.
"We don't have any quibble with Tesla's ability to sell cars, it's how they are selling cars that is the problem," Maas told Automotive News.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, only 20 percent of tax payers qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit Tesla mentions in its advertising. The group is also taking issue with Tesla for advertising external savings in its final payment quotes. By including potential gas savings and federal tax credits, they argue that Tesla is offering misleading information in its advertising.

EDITORIAL >>Base housing goes forward
As part of the militarys nationwide privatization program, a new contractor has agreed to rebuild and remodel some 1,000 homes on base. Eighteen months ago, American Eagle Communities abandoned the $106 million construction project here and gave up work at other bases, but the Air Force has now turned over the privatization contract to Hunt Development Group of El Paso, Texas, and Pinnacle Development of Irvine, Texas, ensuring completion of the ambitious project that will replace 1950s housing with a more stylish contemporary look, along with modern conveniences that military families deserve and expect.
This is a welcome development, even though the project is two years behind schedule. Our senior writer John Hofheimer has reported in a prize-winning series on the housing fiasco involving American Eagle Communities at LRAFB and at other bases.
Creditors were often shortchanged and very little work was done. But the Air Force was determined to go forward with the privatization program, and it looks like it has found the contractors who can finish the project. Its resumption in these tough economic times shows the Pentagons commitment to the base, which has been the recipient of more than $1 billion in recent investments.
Theres plenty of other good news at the air base: Construction will soon start on a college-level schoolhouse funded through a partnership with Jacksonville and the military.
The $14.8 million joint-education center will open in front of Little Rock Air Force Base, paid for in part by Jacksonville residents who approved a 1-cent sales tax five years ago to help pay for the campus in cooperation with the Air Force. The campus will offer college-level courses for both the military and civilians through Pulaski Tech, ASU-Beebe and other institutions of higher learning. In effect, Jacksonville will have its own college campus, putting an emphasis on education for the young and adults as well, cultivating minds and moving the community forward.
The joint-education center will cement a unique bond between the city and the base and could serve as a model for other communities in the U.S. This partnership is the first of its kind in the nation, which is why Brig. Gen. Rowayne Schatz, commander at the air base, and other high-level military officers have thanked Jacksonville for its generous gift, which is reminiscent of the donation of land the Air Force received when it built the air base more than half a century ago.
The city has already handed over a $5 million check for the education center, which the Pentagon will complete in two years with a $9.8 million defense appropriation that was shepherded through Congress by Rep. Vic Snyder, D-Ark., who was at the base on Friday for the dedication of a $6.1 million dining facility. He has also been responsible for a magnificent gym and numerous other projects on base.
When you include some $50 million in recent construction projects, as well as a $10 million runway renovation that is set to start soon, and the 17 C-130Js stationed here at the base, which are worth more than $1 billion, you can see the enormous investment the Air Force keeps making in this community.
Jacksonvilles $5 million donation for the education center is yet another investment in a multi-billion enterprise that should return generous dividends for decades to come.

Platypus, or duckbill From the family of (Monotremata), of the most primitive living group of mammals. The closest ally being with the spiny anteater. Found in Australia only, this egg laying mammal, including the 5 or 6 in. tail. The feet have five toes that tall but the coat is thick dark brown fur consisting of a coarse outer coat and woolly underfur. It's duck bill shaped and model is covered and with a soft and leathery skin which has sensitive nerve endings. They have no external ears, and their eyes are small.
The heel of the male as a poison secreting gland ; believed to be used as a weapon. They feed and prey on small fresh water animals, and are stored in cheek pouches then taken to the surface , where the platypus being semi aquatic feeds. Both sexes live by the streams where they build a small burrow , but during the breeding season the female makes a larger burrow for with an extra chamber for the young. One, two, or three eggs are laid. The young lick the fur around any aboriginal openings of the mammary glands because the female platypus lacks teats . It is considered the platypus is link between the mammals and reptiles.

Shenzhen H5N1
P198S Is In Clade 2.2 Escape Mutant
The above comments are from an upcoming publication, "Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Subtype H5N1 escaping neutralization: more than HA variation" which describe the identification of escape mutants which are present as a minor species in the original sample. P198S was identified in a swan clade 2.2 (Qinghai strain) isolate from Germany, A/cygnus cygnus/Germany/R65/2006, using this approach, and it was also in a clade 2.2 swan isolate from Russia, A/Cygnus olor/Caspian Sea/2006, confirming it was in circulation in clade 2.2 in Europe in 2006.
P198S was in the recently released sequence from the fatal case in Shenzhen, China, A/Guangdong-Shenzhen/1/2011, which had a large number of HA changes, including the adjacent change Q196K, which is in clade 2.2 isolates in Egypt, Germany, and Kuwait (see list here).
The Shenzhen sequence is clade 18.104.22.168 (Fujian strain) also has another receptor binding domain change, S227R, but was generated via novel coding that was distinct from S227R in clade 18.104.22.168 in Hokkaido and Fukushima. The coding found in the Shenzhen sequence is found in H5 sequences from wild birds.
H5N1 is frequently found in wild birds in Hong Kong at this time of year, due to migration patterns. In 2008 clade 2.3.2 was found Japan, South Korea, and Primorsky (southeastern Russia) in poultry and wild birds, which create expansion concerns. Clade 2.3.2 was subsequently identified in Mongolia, followed by Romania, matching the wild bird path that brought clade 2.2 to Europe, the Middle east, and Africa.
The movement of clade 2.3 into the clade 2.2 flyway created an environment for co-infections and recombination, leading to the acquisition of clade 2.2 polymorphisms in poultry and wild birds in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
These interactions lead to rapid evolution as seen in the large number of HA changes in the fatal case in Shenzhen, China.

Spec Dock & Dice IPod Hookup
3 Attachment(s)
I am selling my iPod setup that I just removed from my M3. This is the very much sought after spec dock that installs into your front ashtray to dock your iPod/iPhone. It is a super clean install and looks factory. I had it paired with this Dice Silverline Pro and it all worked great together. Reason for sale is that I got the iPhone 5 and I didn't want to use an adapter on it. I would prefer to sell this as a bundle since I don't have the original iPod cable from the dice unit anymore so it needs the dock to go with it or a new cable (eBay).
I am asking $180 shipped for everything plus I would need your front ashtray in return.
These spec docks rarely come up for sale used so I expect it to go quick.

Police suspected a serial killer was afoot and dubbed him the Southside Slayer.
A few facts (or perhaps "facts") were given about each illness, but hardly enough to know if anything of concern was afoot.
The same impulse is afoot in less trendy parts of the country.
Even the World Heath Organization, which has plenty to worry about in impoverished nations, knows there is big trouble afoot.
Those interested in Post palace intrigue, though, wondered if something else was afoot with the announcement.
That put me afoot, and climbing up and down them hills I lost my bearings and didn't know where I was at for a day or two.
One side was in the saddle and determined; the other afoot and grimly desperate.
The giants had now become so interested in whatever plan they had afoot, that they paid little attention to the ship.
It is the time, too, when all sorts of travelling people are afoot.
The old race-course was surrounded by thousands upon thousands of people in carriages, on horseback, and afoot.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/6/2014 (1120 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Sarah Michaelson
"I love books about food (M.F.K. Fisher's work is my favourite), so it's probably a little predictable that I'm reading As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child & Avis Devoto, edited by Joan Reardon. For many years during the 1950s, these two articulate women -- one living in Europe, the other in the U.S. -- swapped recipes, talked politics and became dear friends through the nearly lost art of letter-writing; they also occasionally sent each other good quality knives in the post. I find it so compelling to watch such a deep friendship unfold between two people who were rarely in the same room as one another."

Jamie Does...is Jamie's personal celebration of amazing food from six
very different countries. Cheap, short-haul flights and long weekend
getaways have become increasingly popular and within a few short hours
of the UK there are new and exciting worlds of food waiting to be
discovered as Jamie finds out. Each chapter focuses on a different city
or region - Marrakesh, Athens, Venice, Andalucia, Stockholm and the
Midi Pyrenees region of France.
Classic recipes sit alongside new dishes that Jamie learns along the way. Alongside each recipe there is a beautiful photograph of the finished dish, as well as incredible reportage shots of Jamie's experiences in each country. Jamie says: 'The food I've embraced on each trip is a mixture of what you could call the cliched star dishes - the many tagines of Morocco, the flamboyant paellas of Spain, the comforting risottos from Italy and the zingy fresh flavours of a classic Greek salad - and the recipes that I've been inspired to make after walking through the markets and soaking up the vibes of each place. What you'll find in this book is fun, optimistic, escapist food you can actually cook and enjoy in your own home.'
About The Author:
Jamie Oliver started cooking at his parents' pub, the Cricketers, at the age of eight, and has gone on to work with some of the world's top chefs. He founded Fifteen restaurant in London and the associated charity, Fifteen Foundation, which trains disadvantaged young people to become chefs. There are now Fifteen restaurants in Cornwall, Amsterdam and Melbourne. Jamie has also launched a chain of high street restaurants in the UK called Jamie's Italian. Jamie writes for publications in the UK and around the world, including his own Jamie Magazine.

Have to confess to not being a fan of Jamie's earlier books as recipes didn't turn out that great. This one however has been great. Not only are the recipes good, but the book itself is well presented and inspires you to try the different cuisines.

As Teppo is enjoying his holiday this week, I promised to keep the weeknotes rolling. It's been quite exciting week. As mentioned last week, we won a major new client on Friday. This week was spent on organizing the first phase and with bit of a resource juggling to keep things smooth for all our projects. Internally, the new project will be called Oslo and we've got Matti as project lead, and Panu, Teppo and myself in the project team itself.
Another notable thing is that we secured ourselves a new, bigger and better office space this week. We'll reveal the location a bit later but in any case we will have more than double the space, and in an excellent seaside location. The girls of Lillehammer are working on the space already and looks like it's going to be quite a sweet sweet space. Finding the near-perfect space happened way sooner than we knew to expect, and this was a pleasant surprise of course. This also opens up some exciting possibilities for our current location, which we naturally let you know as soon we have a confirmation in our hands.
Other projects are rolling on nicely. Petri, Matti and myself did a quick visual exploration a for the service ecosystem we've been working on for a while. Along with Ilkka, Matti has been quite involved on mapping out the practicalities on Oslo. Like Teppo's mentioned before, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our internal methods and ways of working, so this project is also a big step ahead as we intend to roll out a project team model we've been figuring out for a while. This is one of the valuable insights we got from the business development workshop with IDEO last November, and it will be interesting to see how it all pans out.
Despite Panu being on a holiday, the banking project we've been working on is progressing nicely as well. Aki has done a tremendous amount of work with Sauli on the service prototype, and Ilkka and myself did another iteration of the risk management tool with the client. That one is shaping up quite nicely as well.
And last, everyone involved in the content industry transformation project are making sure the end results are kicking ass and taking names on all fronts. We had a film- and a photoshoot this week, and are about to see the drafts of the phase one next week. Coming to Youtube near you soon as well.
For the rest of the crew it seems like business as usual. Things rolling on smoothly, a few large projects coming to closure and maybe even public, and few others about to begin. And what comes to recruiting the designer(s) we dearly need, we are finally making decisions next week. We'll let you know— until then, good night… and good luck.

Leaders pledge to bring home Balibo 5
PRIME Minister John Howard has promised to bring back to Australia the remains of five Australian newsmen killed by Indonesian troops in East Timor 32 years ago.
Speaking from a car dealership in the safe Liberal seat of Greenway in western Sydney, Mr Howard promised a re-elected Coalition government would seek to have the remains of the men repatriated.
"I think that is a reasonable thing and I can understand the desire of the families (for repatriation)," Mr Howard said.
NSW deputy coroner Dorelle Pinch last week found that the newsmen, known as the Balibo Five, were deliberately killed to help cover up the Indonesian invasion of East Timor.
She recommended that the federal Attorney-General consider prosecuting those responsible, including military commander-turned-politician Yunus Yosfiah.
Indonesia has always insisted the Balibo Five were killed in crossfire in the border town of Balibo during its invasion of East Timor.
Foreign Affairs Minister Alexander Downer said the Government would refer the report to the Attorney-General and federal police.
"They'll have to have a look at it and see what the status of evidence is, whether there is sufficient evidence for there to be a brief of evidence sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions," Mr Downer said.
"All this will take a great deal of time; this is way down the track."
Mr Downer said collecting the evidence that could be used to prosecute the accused with war crimes would also be a lengthy process.
"These are events that occurred many, many years ago now, a very long time ago.
"So how easy it will be to assemble evidence that might stand up in a court of law and what all those issues would be would take a lot of time."
Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd said a Labor government pledged to adopt the coroner's recommendations, which included bringing back the remains of the Balibo Five.
"I'm methodical in following the recommendations of the coroner's report, and the first one in an absolute clear-cut commitment from us it will be referred therefore to the attorney-general to consider prosecution," Mr Rudd said.
"I've read a bit about what happened in Balibo. I've been to Balibo, walked up there, I've seen the fort, I've seen where these blokes lost their lives."
The Coalition and Labor have avoided commenting on whether the issue could damage relations with Indonesia.

The 71st annual state wrestling tournament concluded with four area wrestlers winning a state title on Saturday night at the Value City Arena within the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University.
Please check out the print Akron Beacon Journal or the ohio.com website on the Internet for coverage about the state tournament that appeared from Thursday through Sunday.
Here is a quick synopsis:
Brunswick senior Richie Spicel won the Division I 140-pound state title and finished the season with a 43-0 record under the leadership of coach Mike Koshar. Spicel also won a state championship as a freshman in 2005 at 130 pounds.
Walsh Jesuit senior Chase Skonieczny won the Division II 135-pound title and finished the season at 44-2 under the guidance of coach Bill Barger.
Perry junior Seth Horner won the Division I 130-pound state title and finished the season at 40-4 under the leadership of coach Brent McBurney. Horner defeated Wadsworth sophomore Brad Squire (42-3) in the finals.
Aurora sophomore Ty Mitch won the Division II 103-pound state title and finished the season at 39-5 under the guidance of coach Dick Bliss. Mitch's triumph came at the expense of Walsh Jesuit freshman Johnni DiJulius (48-5), who is also a close friend.
The area also featured eight wrestlers that placed second.
In Division I: Squire, Barberton senior Adam Cogar (47-1 at 215) and Perry juniors Sam White (37-3 at 112) and Nick Heflin (45-4 at 152).
In Division II: DiJulius and Highland junior Tyler Houska (39-6 at 215).
In Division III: Norwayne senior J.D. Smyers (44-2 at 171) and Triway senior Cory Akin (34-9 at 215) in Division III.
It should be noted that Squire and White were champions in 2007, a headline for the Sunday wrestling notebook was a little misleading regarding White.
A simply amazing kid
Hillsboro senior Dustin Carter's qualification for the state wrestling tournament at 103 pounds caught the attention of many in Columbus.
A rare blood disorder at age 5 led to limb damage. Carter, a quadruple amputee, has built a powerful upper body. His arms end near his elbows, his legs above where knees would be. When he doesn't wrestle, he uses prosthetic legs.
He was recognized before the semifinal round Friday and received a roaring, standing ovation that lasted over a minute. CBS interviewed him Thursday and filmed his first-round match, a victory.
Carter lost twice Friday, however, and finished the season 40-4.
Splendid Records
Richie Spicel concluded his Brunswick career as the school's all-time leader in wins with 160. He said he is considering going to college and wrestling at Asland University, Ohio University and Gardner-Webb.
Chase Skonieczny, a Kent State recruit, concluded his career with a 166-26 record. The 166 wins are a school record at Walsh Jesuit.
Adam Cogar is headed to the University of Virginia to wrestle and study pre-med after compiling a 175-21 record under the leadership of coach Dave Mariola. He carries a 4.2 cumulative grade point average. The 175 wins are a school record at Barberton.
Johnni DiJulius' 48 wins are the most in a single season at Walsh Jesuit.
Smooch, smooch
Walsh Jesuit coach Bill Barger planted a kiss on the forehead of Warriors senior Chase Skonieczny in the media room after the 135-pound wrestler won the Division II state title.
"I have been around it a lot and they are all special, especially for a kid that grinds it out," Barger said.
Skonieczny, Walsh's 39th state champion, jumped into the arms of assistant coaches Jeff Black and Clint Musser on the mat following his 5-0 victory in the finals.
"I have been coming down here since I was a little kid," said the 18-year-old Skonieczny, who entered this season as a three-time state placer in high school and with a decorated resume as a youth and middle school wrestler. "It's 15 years in the making. March 1st, it's been my day all season. It's been marked on my phone and on my calendar at home."
Surprisingly explosive
Horner and Squire put together a very good match, that Horner ultimately won 4-2 in overtime.
"He's very strategic," Wadsworth coach John Gramuglia said of Horner. "He's explosive and he'll lull you to sleep. He is very hard to wrestle. You don't expect the explosiveness and then boom he's by you. He's a heck of an athlete."
Scarlet and Gray
Austintown Fitch senior Tony Jameson (145 pounds) became the 16th wrestler in the state tournament's history to win four state titles.
Following Jameson's victory he paraded around the mat with an Ohio State banner and received a loud ovation. Jameson, 4-2 this season and 168-6 in his career, is an OSU recruit.

"I've been loving you too long."
He had always told her they would be the lyrics to their wedding song.
On Monday, however, Linda Hinton had the famous lines sung by Otis Redding and Jerry Butler tattooed on the back of her neck as she mourned the death of her partner, Faalau Pisu, 23, who was gunned down in the early hours of Monday at a wedding in Canley Vale in a suspected bikie-related death.
Beneath those words, she had the date of their anniversary engraved in her back in Roman numerals.
"I wish I could see you to give you lots of hugs & kisses and tell you I love you one last time," she said to her partner of four years and step-father to her three year-old daughter, Le'ati.
Two other men were also hit. One man, aged 27, was in a stable condition this morning and the third man, aged 25, had a minor injury and has since been discharged, a Liverpool Hospital spokeswoman said.
Mr Pisu's family, who will spend today performing Samoan religious ceremonies, said they have no idea why he was at the wedding at the Serbian National Defence Council hall and were unaware of his bikie links.
But police believe his membership with the Comanchero bikie club was behind the fatal hit and the gangs squad has been called in to lead the investigation.
On social media, Mr Pisu's family and friends shared their love for the young man with numerous tributes. More than 800 people liked a "RIP Faalau Pisu" page.
"R:I:P Lau :'( miss u n love u so much :'(," wrote one friend on the page while another added: "All my love uso....still can't wrap my mind around the thought that this is actually real."
Mr Pisu's sister wrote about how she was struggled to cope with his death.
"Faalau Pisu it's been almost 24hrs since you left us... Words CANNOT comprehend the feelings and numbness that i'm experiencing... Why didn't you speak to me when you called me and all you did was cry... I know the sound of your cry from anywhere... And I'm crying with you... LOVE YOU LAU xxx."
Faalau Pisu it's been almost 24hrs since you left us... Words CANNOT comprehend the feelings and numbness that i'm experiencing... Why didn't you speak to me when you called me and all you did was cry... I know the sound of your cry from anywhere... And I'm crying with you... LOVE YOU LAU
Police were monitoring events
Detectives already had their eye on the bikie gang and were monitoring the events on Sunday, but had left before the shooting took place.
Mr Pisu was reportedly shot twice in the head.
A witness said two men wearing balaclavas and carrying guns pulled up at the function centre in a blue ute and opened fire on guests out the front.
People ran back into the centre screaming and the seven staff at the function centre tried to calm down guests and move them to the back of the building. Many were later treated for shock.
The Herald was told about 300 people attended the wedding reception. Only 100 people were left when the men were targeted.
Detective acting Chief Superintendent Arthur Katsogiannis, the Organised Crime director, appealed for witnesses to come forward.
He called for calm and said extra police would be on patrol to prevent any reprisal shootings.
Mr Pisu's death is the second targeted killing in Sydney in three weeks.
In mid-October, Yehya Amoud, 27, died after being shot as he sat in a car on Greenacre Road, Greenacre. In August, suspected Lone Wolf associates Roy Yaghi and Jamie Grover were shot dead in a car in South Wentworthville.

The company, Space Adventures, has signed a preliminary contract with the future tourist, whose name has not been disclosed.
The tourist-to-be is now due to sign a contract with the Russian space agency before year end, an agency official told ITAR-TASS on condition of anonymity.
The tourist "is not Russian, but he is a national of one of the countries involved in the ISS project," the official said.
There are 16 partner countries in the ISS project, including the United States, Russia, the member states of the European Space Agency (ESA), Canada and Japan.
Space Adventures said last month it had drawn up a list of 10 candidates interested in boarding a Russian rocket and blasting off for the ISS, after Rosaviokosmos, the Russian space agency, announced it planned to carry two more tourists to the space station in 2004-2005.
Russia had tasked Space Adventures with finding fit -- and rich -- candidates for the trips.
The asking price for a 10-day visit to the ISS is around 20 million dollars (17.2 million euros), a sum only two space tourists -- Californian businessman Dennis Tito and South Africa Internet millionaire Mark Shuttleworth -- have so far been able to afford.
Trips scheduled by US pop star Lance Bass, from the boy band 'N Sync, and former NASA official Lori Garver was called off after they were unable to pay.
Russia and the United States, the major partners in the ISS project, have clashed in the past over Moscow's keenness to raise money for its cash-strapped space program by selling tourist tickets to the ISS.
In February, Russia announced the temporary suspension of space tourism flights after the US shuttle Columbia disintegrated on its way back to earth from the ISS.
The tragedy forced the United States to rely completely on Russian craft to ferry crew and supplies to the ISS.

Witnessing the 'Raven' actor unveil the 2,469th star on Hollywood Boulevard are sister Joan Cusack and fellow actors Billy Bob Thornton, Jack Black and Dan Aykroyd.
John Cusack has become the latest actor being presented with his star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. On Tuesday, April 24, the "Being John Malkovich" actor was honored with the 2,469th star at the unveiling ceremony, which was held in front of the Larry Edmunds Bookshop on Hollywood Boulevard.
Celebrated for his accomplishments in his nearly 30-year career, the 45-year-old actor received his star from Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president Leron Gubler. On hand to deliver pleasing speech about him was his sister Joan Cusack and three fellow actors, Billy Bob Thornton, Jack Black and Dan Aykroyd. Also present at the ceremony was director-producer Joe Roth.
Upon receiving the honor, John told the crowd, "I love working with actors, I love being around them, they're such great spirits." He added, "To the best of my knowledge, I've tried to screw my career up as much as I possibly could, but even with all my best efforts to screw it up, I managed to have lasting friendships, and some of the best friends I've ever met in the business."
John has starred in various movies throughout his career, among them were "Sixteen Candles", "The Thin Red Line", "Runaway Jury", "2012" and "Hot Tub Time Machine". He received a Golden Globe award nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical in 2000 for his role in "High Fidelity". His latest movie, "The Raven", will open wide in the U.S. on April 27.

Tamara Colleen Bradley
Missing since September 30, 1994 from Minneapolis, Hennepin Co, Minnesota
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance
Tamara was last seen at approximately 15:30 leaving her place of employment at Federal Foam Technologies in the 3500 block of 2nd Street N in Minneapolis, MN.
Her vehicle, described as a silver, four door, 1998 Buick Century Custom with MN License number 286CCY was located on October 3, 1994 in the Minneapolis impound lot, after it had been towed from a rush-hour no-parking zone at the front of the Greyhound bus terminal. It did not have a ticket on the windshield, so police are surmising the vehicle was in the spot for only a short time before it was towed. The keys were inside the car, which contained a seemingly ordinary assortment of papers, clothing and other personal items.
She had left her son in the care of her former husband's father. Later in the day, Bradley shared a meal with a friend. Bradley wasn't home when the boy returned from a weekend visit. There has been no movement in Bradley's financial accounts since then, and three of her paychecks haven't been cashed.
One of Bradley's coworkers at Federal Foam Technologies, 3558 N. 2nd Street, was the last to see Bradley as she left work. She was driving north on Washington Avenue, apparently taking her normal route to East River Road and on to the trailer home.

A VOLUNTEER with Warrington Disability Partnership (WDP) lost 12 pounds in weight to pick up £240 by getting people to sponsor her weight loss.
Hayley Carrick, aged 37, has lost 12lbs since October and even stuck to her diet over the festive season to raise money for WDP.
She said: "It was hard to stick to the diet over Christmas when I was with my family.
"Everyone was eating chocolates and cakes, but I managed to just have a small piece of cake and a portion of trifle."
Hayley, who has been a volunteer for WDP for 12 years, helps out in the main office.
She decided to lose weight for health reasons and feel better.
"I feel a lot better now and am going to stick to the diet. I hope to lose another pound each week," added Hayley.

router vs firewall site to site VPN
I would like to know both Cisco 2901 or 2921 router and Cisco 5505 ASA can build site to site VPN.
1) what is the different to build site to site VPN between router and firewall ?
2) which is the best choice if using in site to site VPN connection ?
Best Regards
With that amount of sites connected to both internet and some to MPLS you should choose a solution that gives you a good configuration- and routing-scalibility. Both is better on IOS then on the ASA. I would go directly to FlexVPN which is the most up-to-date technology in IOS and gives you many features like good scalability, integration of routing and (if you want) spoke-to-spoke connectivity without much extra config. The routers need quite new images, I would start with 15.2.4M3.
For the IPSec-scalability you should plan to use certificates, a CA-server is included in IOS:
Don't stop after you've improved your network! Improve the world by lending money to the working poor:

`America's rate of homicide with guns is dramatically higher than that of most countries that have strict gun-control policies. There are gangs in Europe.

For example, it comes in very handy for quickly adding an API over a table (assuming you don't have a nice utility to generate one for you already):
1. Describe the table and copy the column definitions into Sublime Text, deleting the first few lines:
2. Select all text and change to lowercase (because that's the standard):
3. Set up multiple cursors just before each column name (start on first and use Ctrl+Alt+Down):
4. Move all cursors to end of column name using Ctrl+Right:
5. Select to end of line (Shift+End):
6. Delete the selection:
7. Type " in ":
8. Return to start of all lines (Home) then add ", p_":
9. Use Ctrl+Shift+Right to select the column names:
... then Ctrl+C to copy them.
10 Move to end of lines (End) and paste (Ctrl+V):
11. Type "%type":
12. Realise that at step 7 you forgot to put "emp." after " in ", go back and add it:
(Yes I did forget, and didn't fancy re-creating all the screenshots!)
13. According to taste, use Abacus add-on tool to reformat (Ctrl+Alt+]):
14. Add more code and tweak:
15. Use similar techniques to complete the insert statement by copying and modifying the parameter list twice:
That looks like a lot of steps, but in reality it can all be done in about 10 seconds once you are familiar with the technique.
It took me a few weeks to feel comfortable with it, but now I feel more productive than ever when writing PL/SQL code.
