The thought of fine wood flooring evokes beauty and charm combined with classic looks and durable performance. Wood floors can last a lifetime, gaining character over time, as long as they are well protected and maintained. With so many options from bamboo to mahogany, the colours in wood flooring can run the gamut from nearly white to light blonde, rich tan, dark cherry, and even black. You want a wood floor that shines with natural beauty.
Solid Wood Flooring
Sometimes called wooden floors in Perth, the term "solid wood flooring" means just what it sounds like it means: flooring that is comprised of individual pieces of solid wood. Solid wood flooring is available in many species of wood with varying colours, hardness, and aesthetic characteristics such as darkness, grain pattern, and knots. It is installed as strips or planks that run side by side or as parquet squares, squares, or rectangles that are secured to sub-flooring with nails or floor tacks and then typically stained and finished after installation is complete. Solid wood stains and finishes well and is the only flooring that material can look as good or better after 50 years than it did when it was installed.
The hardness of wood flooring depends on the species of tree that is used for the material. Wood species such as cherry, maple, and oak are hardwood and demonstrate the most resistance to wear, while softer species such as pine, mahogany, and bamboo (actually a grass rather than a tree) are more susceptible to wear. Hardwoods are typically chosen for their hardness and durability while softwoods are typically chosen for their appearance, such as the knots in pine flooring and the rich dark colour of mahogany flooring. Regardless of the hardness of wood you choose, you will need to give your flooring proper care and maintenance to keep it looking good year after year.
Most solid wood flooring is finished on-site after it is installed although some flooring, typically squares or rectangles, is finished at the factory. Pre-finished flooring is becoming more popular as it is backed by longer warranty periods than site-finished flooring. Wood flooring finishes may be clear or stained and include a clear protective coat of hard urethane. Solid wood flooring can be stripped, sanded, and refinished time after time to provide the best protection to the wood.
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood flooring is constructed of cross-grained laminated layers that are bonded together with a durable adhesive, much like plywood, with a top layer or veneer of hardwood. Engineered hardwood is factory-finished with an extremely hard and durable finish that can outperform most solid wood finishes. Engineered hardwood flooring is also more versatile than solid wood flooring because it may be installed in damp areas such as bathrooms and basements, with or without sub-flooring, or over bare concrete. Engineered hardwood may be secured to a subfloor with nails, tacks, staples, or glue and it also may be installed as a floating floor with each piece of flooring secured to the next piece.

This Mt Wilson hike starts at Chantry Flat and gradually makes it way to the summit. Mt Wilson (5,710 feet) is the peak with all the radio towers that dominates the LA skyline. It's a fun hike and a good long hike for beginners.
Google Maps trailhead:
Chantry Flat Parking Lot and Trail Head, Sierra Madre, CA, 91011, USA
If you have GPS device (I use this one by Garmin and I love it) for your hike, load the GPX file below into your device to navigate the hike. For help on loading the GPX file, read this article on converting and transferring to a Garmin GPS.
Also, don't rely on electronics as your sole means of navigation. There's a basic printable PDF map below, and I strongly picking up a good topo map too.
A quick note. These directions are meant as a guide for the hike, and not a definitive source. Conditions change, and the information here can be different based on time of day, weather, season, etc. There can be small side trails that you might see but I missed. I have made every effort to include all the information you need to complete the hike successfully. I recommend using this guide in conjunction with a map, GPX file, common sense, and call to the ranger station or park office. If you do the hike and notice something has changed, please contact me and I will update the guide.

Look: Kendall's Personal Vacation Photos From Greece
The Kardashians took Greece this week and Kendall Jenner was busy as a bee snapping photos of her family's vacation.
From yachting trips to dinners with a view, the starlet captured it all on her Instagram album, showing off just how the clan relaxes in style.
"It's so beautiful. I'm so lucky to be here," she gushed in a self-made video shared on her Twitter. "It's so pretty."
Besides gorgeous shots of the waterfront, fans can probably expect Jenner and the rest of her famous siblings to release a new music video documenting their trip — seeing how they basically film one whenever they go on vacation.
"Since we are on a family vacay…we need a new song to do a video to! Any ideas tweeps???" Kim Kardashian wrote on Twitter this weekend.
For now, launch the gallery above for their personal vacation photos.

Weld County gets $1.7 million for mineral leases
June 28, 2013
Weld County leased mineral rights for more than 1,000 acres on Monday morning, filling county coffers with another $1.7 million from the oil and gas industry.
That brings the net total for oil and gas lease-related revenue up to $5.3 million so far this year, a number on track to meet last year's $12.9 million.
In addition to the actual leases, which allow companies to explore county-owned land for oil and natural gas, the county benefits from royalties on production, if exploration proves fruitful, and rental fees.
Starting with leases approved on Monday, royalties for the county were boosted to 25 percent and rental fees to $2.50 per acre per year — up from 20 percent and $1 per acre last year, thanks to commissioners' request for a code change currently in the hearing process, said Esther Gesick, Weld County's deputy clerk to the board. Commissioners are also proposing increases to fees associated with the leases, she said.
Two companies — Bonanza Creek Energy Operating Co., LLC, and Illinois-based Ironhorse Resources, LLC — bid on four mineral leases on public land at Monday's auction. Bonanza took three of the four leases, including the highest and lowest bids at $2,750 per acre and $600 per acre, respectively.
This is the third auction the county has hosted this year. In February, Weld garnered more than $235,000 for three leases. In April, an auction was also held but no companies made a bid.
There is no requirement for the county to hold a certain number of auctions, but officials say they normally hold two per year. Last year, Weld had a record spring in mineral leases, finishing out the year with $7.07 million from three auctions.
The money from mineral lease auctions goes to the county's general fund. Commissioners decide how to allocate it, although they often dedicate the money to compensating for the wear and tear that county roads get from oil and gas traffic.

Now that the Arizona collector car auctions are over, have we learned anything about the current state of the collector car market? Is it sharing the rest of our economy's apocalypse or is it a safe haven to protect your assets and have fun at the same time? I would say, "yes and yes".
If you had a chance to watch any of the forty hours (over sixty with reruns) of the Barrett Jackson auction televised on the Speed Network, you could easily believe that the collector car world is sinking. Their bread and butter vehicles; muscle cars, pony cars, 50's domestics and "resto-mods" have taken a significant hit since their peak in 2006-7. '57 Chevy Belair convertibles with fuel injection and every option, formerly the Holy Grail of the typical B-J auction customer, were in abundance and trading consistently around $75,000. This is about 60% of where they were a couple years ago. "Resto -mods", older cars that have been modified with current mechanicals, interiors and flashy paint jobs have taken even bigger hits. We won't talk about the former zillion dollar Hemi-Cudas. Essentially, all cars that were basically high production vehicles with a fortuitous option sheet have settled into where their real value should be, despite the crazy hype.
On the other hand, the really great American and European Classics and historic sports cars were doing very well at the RM and Gooding auctions. Duesenbergs were getting the same $800,000-1,500,000 we've been seeing for the last couple years. V-16 Cadillacs continue to fly high as well as coach-built, twelve cylinder Packards and Lincolns. European Classics such as Bugatti and Talbot-Lago continued to pull legitimate bids in excess of $4,000,000. Obviously, there's no economic crunch here.
So, what does this all mean? Very simply put, the great collector cars remain very strong and there's no shortage of people willing to pay top dollar for them. The "flavor of the day" collectables, whose values were run up by solely by auction company hype, have settled into their true market valuations. Having said that, even these cars have faired much better than the average investment fund has over the past twelve months. Add the fun of ownership, whether it's driving, showing, racing or working on any of these cars and it's obvious that just about any collector car has been a wise investment.

We exited i90 at 4 am needing rest until morning. Owner(?)
wanted to charge 70 something and we talked him down a few dollars. Owner(?) said he needed to come show us how to open the door because the key didn't work so good. He basically had to jiggle the lock and kick the door open. We felt the need to place the only chair in the room up against the door and we slept in our clothes. There were soap bits in the sink and tub and a pair of sunglasses in the floor. A rubberband in the floor and dirty pillow cases. Thank goodness for traveling with our own pillows. We were too tired to look for anything else. When i told the man that we did not have a good night and that the room was dirty he said he would tell housecleaning (who looked to be his wife). Like the other review, i've stayed in cheap before, but there is a difference between cheap and dirty.

I looked into this bug briefly during the first bug-squashing party this year, but since I didn't have my home machine (Voodoo3) set up to support DRI at the time, I couldn't verify it directly. Someone else on IRC then said they were using OpenGL on their 3dfx and it worked fine. I'm now running XFree 4.0.2-7, xlibmesa3 4.0.2-7, libglide3 2001.01.26-1, and xscreensaver-gl 3.29-3, and I'm not having any problems. I don't know if this helps fix the bug in mesag3-glide2... but it suggests that a workaround may be to use xlibmesa3 instead of mesag3. (Isn't the integrated XFree4 code the preferred GL driver anyway?) HTH, Steve Langasek postmodern programmer

Kim Kardashian's Sexy Sheer Dress: Yay or Nay? (POLL & PHOTOS)
Kim Kardashian knows how to work her best assets.
The reality star, 31, was spotted out and about in Paris on June 18, rocking an all-black, see-through polka dot Stella McCartney panel dress — plus her favorite accessory, beau Kayne West.
Kardashian, who swept her hair up in a classic bun, didn't go too risque with her fashion find, as she wore a visible control slip underneath to hide some of her curvacious body.
What do you think of Kim's fashion-forward look? Take the poll!
Kardashian isn't the only starlet daring enough to don a Stella McCartney see-through style — Kate Winslet sported a similar look back in March at the premiere of her movie Mildred Pierce.

These are the charms I made:
I LOVE butterflies and Spring. SO for my charms, I decided to make butterflies over a Love Letter script design. Each one is sculpted in porcelain clay and then bisque fired in the kiln. I then applied two coats of glaze, using a brush and then fired them in the kiln again to 2200 degrees f. The result is a sturdy, durable little art charm. If you'd like to get your hands on one of these, you can head over to the Beads of Courage Auctions and bid on one there. While you're there, check out all of the other awesome charms up for grabs! You can also find more colors on the Blu Mudd Website.
Now....are you ready to see the charms I received??? Here we go!

CEDEFOP Conference The next stage of European tools for transparency, recognition and quality for learning and work
The Cedefop conference (27-28 November) addressed how common EU tools can help to achieve the main objectives of European cooperation in vocational education and training: easier mobility and career progression for learners and better education and training for all of Europe. During the two days there was a lively exchange of ideas and proposals, including: discussions on technical and conceptual issues to bridge the various educational platforms (VET, Higher Education, Lifelong Learning), on implementing the back and front office approach on design and promotion of the tools, and on devising a more comprehensive strategy, which will serve end users. EUCIS-LLL Director Audrey Frith presented the platform's vision on the future of EU tools as supporting a clear vision and lifelong learning approach, bringing much more coherence and synergies across sectoral tools.

Voyeur : April 2010
APRIL 051 las vegas As I check into Aria Resort & Casino, the shimmering 61-storey centrepiece of the new CityCenter project in Las Vegas, it dawns on me that it's after midnight and I've been travelling all day. I'm tired, irritable and, I suspect, a little smelly. Weaving my w ay through the cocktail-fuelled crowds on the casino floor, I head to the lifts with the express intent of going straight to bed. However, when I open the door to my room, something magical happens. The lights come on, music plays and the curtains slowly dr aw back to reveal the Las Vegas Strip in all its neon-lit wonder. My room has officially welcomed me. Ten minutes later, I'm showered, back downstairs and sitting at a blackjack table with a margarita in hand. Vegas woos you with touches like this from the minute you arrive. It's just like the sultry mistress who makes you smile while she empties your pockets. The advent of new technology has meant that her seduction techniques are getting more sophisticated. Aria is the first casino resort to use an advanced touch-screen room- management system, which hitherto had been deployed only in certain boutique hotels and luxury mansions. My last visit to Sin City was in May 2008, and back then the city appeared unstoppable. It was the fastest growing metropolis in North America, hotel occupancy rates were at an all-time high and US$32 billion worth of hotel projects were coming online in the next four year s. ON THE BRINK The most anticipated development was MGM Mir age's CityCenter. Utilising 27 hectares of prime real estate in the middle of the Strip, the development would comprise four hotels: the 4,004-room casino hotel Aria, the non-gaming 1,495- room Vdara, boutique hotel The Har mon and Las Vegas' first Mandarin Oriental. There would also be two residential towers, known as Veer Towers, a high-end retail, entertainment and dining space called Crystals and the city's first major public fine art collection. Jim Murren, CEO of MGM Mirage, said he wanted to create "a city within a city" and assembled a team of inter national architects, including Cesar Pelli, the man behind Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers; the designers of the Shanghai World Financial Tower; and Lord Norman Foster of Wembley Stadium and Millennium Bridge fame. The US$8.5-billion project would be the largest privately funded real estate development in US histor y and, Las Vegas is just like the sultry mistress who makes you smile while she empties your pockets. Above: MGM Mirage's CityCenter is located on 27 hectares of prime real estate in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip and provides the otherwise manic entertainment capital with a new level of sophistication.

Tolga Ornek
|Search for comments on this interview
90 years ago the Gallipoli legend was written in blood on the shores of Turkey, but though we tell and re-tell the stories of Anzac courage, not all that blood was Australian. Tolga Ornek is a Turkish film maker whose new documentary attempts to explain Gallipoli from all sides - to show us that bravery, mateship and endurance were not the province of one country alone and that no matter the uniform you wear, war is still hell. Here's a glimpse.
ANDREW DENTON: Please make welcome from Wellington, New Zealand, a man whose film has just premiered, Tolga Ornek.
TOLGA ORNEK: Thank you.
ANDREW DENTON: Tolga, thanks for joining us. This is a story that's been told many times. Why did you want to tell it again?
TOLGA ORNEK: Well, I think in order to appreciate the campaign fully, you really have to tell it from both perspectives because one side's experience in battle, in war, is not isolated from the other side so in order to appreciate and understand your own side, you really have to know the other side. A lot of the documentaries, good documentaries, have concentrated mostly on generals, commanders, politicians and have sort of overlooked the ordinary soldiers in the trenches.
ANDREW DENTON: That's almost like a metaphor for World War I there. It was all about the generals, not the soldiers.
TOLGA ORNEK: Yeah, and the soldiers kept on dying because of the generals.
ANDREW DENTON: It's interesting, you actually have told this story particularly through the diaries of 10 men, how did you choose them? What did they have in common?
TOLGA ORNEK: Well, first of all, we wanted the characters to be diverse. We wanted the characters to be representative of all the soldiers in the campaign. We wanted to have an officer. We wanted to have a person who came there for king and country, a person who came there just because it was sheer duty. A person who came there and hated each minute of it. We wanted the soldiers to sort of represent the whole spectrum of the soldiers at Galipoli, and we also had a technical aspect. Obviously the soldiers had to have had to fight for a while in Galipoli. I didn't want to pick any soldiers who got off the boat and just got killed, because we wanted to show the transformation in their personality and in their character and how the battle changed them.
ANDREW DENTON: Normally, the stories of war are told in terms of movement of battalions, but diaries carrying the tiniest moments of people's lives. What are some of those moments that stay with you?
TOLGA ORNEK: Well, I mean the diaries are so evocative and so powerful that each life - I mean each page is filled with suffering and the constant presence of death. And it's hard to cope with that. And when you read the diaries you really appreciate the horrific conditions of the campaign - the flies, the dysentery, the heat, the flood, the cold. And each line stays with you. After a while it becomes very depressing, because you're reading suffering day in and day out.
ANDREW DENTON: Can you give an example of a line that stayed with you a moment?
TOLGA ORNEK: A line that I cut out of the film but I always remember, I just couldn't put into the film, a soldier sees the battle site after landing, two days after the landing, and he sees all the dead bodies and he he turns to his mate and he says, "If their parents could see them now, this war would end today."
ANDREW DENTON: What don't Australians know about the Turkish army? What's going to surprise us in this film?
TOLGA ORNEK: The Australians will see a lot of characters that they know, a lot of characters that they will get to know for the first time. I think what they will see as they get to know these Turkish characters, they will see that it was a shared experience. The Turks suffered as much as they did and the Turks fought as hard as they did. I think Australians as they watched the film, they will begin to empathise with the Turkish side, and they will see them as just people not just Turks.
ANDREW DENTON: Are there things in your film that ask Australians to reconsider some of the ANZAC story?
TOLGA ORNEK: Yeah, some of the myths maybe. You know, because a lot of Australian things, a lot of Australians think that the landing was very difficult, the actual landing on the beach, it was done under very heavy fire, which was not. The actual fighting happened inland on the hills, so the film sort of mentions that. But we don't do those scenes just to clear up the myths or just put the record straight. We shot those and edited those scenes based on historical evidence, as they happened, so I mean we're not out there to try to prove something or counter-prove something.
ANDREW DENTON: Because you worked with military historians from Turkey, New Zealand, Australia and Britain, didn't you?
TOLGA ORNEK: Yes. We had 16 historians in our team.
ANDREW DENTON: You actually shot it on location, a lot of the film, and you said that the place really gripped your imagination. In what way?
TOLGA ORNEK: The contrasts, unbelievable contrasts. If you want to shoot a film, anything with a dramatic aspect, Galipoli is the place to go. Because you go there you stand on Lone Pine or The Nek or Chunuk Bair and you look around you and you see the sheer beauty. It's just breathtakingly beautiful. Then you sit down and think about it, and this beauty witnessed the fiercest, the most vicious fighting ever. It's in such a tight area. It's such a contrast that such a bloody battle could have happened in such a beautiful place.
ANDREW DENTON: I'm about to show a clip from the film. Now, normally we don't show something of this length. This is about a two-minute long excerpt from Tolga's film. When you see it you'll understand why. This is the Australian attack on The Nek.
ANDREW DENTON: That's an incredibly powerful sequence. Can you possibly explain the madness that lay at the heart of that, Tolga?
TOLGA ORNEK: I can't. It's so bizarre. I think about so many different things when I watch the sequence and when we edited it. First of all, why the hell did this commander order the last three waves? Battle should have its honour, but you don't sacrifice people just for the sake of sacrificing, and that really aggravates me when I think about it. The thing that I don't understand is why did those guys in the third and the fourth wave get out of the trenches? Because they knew they were going to die.
ANDREW DENTON: You refer to this as the last honourable war. How can war be honourable?
TOLGA ORNEK: Well, usually it can't, it won't. But in this case both sides doing the fighting did not do anything that they were ashamed of in later years. It was just professional fighting. You had no hatred, no animosity fuelled by countries' ideologies or anything of that kind. You just had soldiers fighting to the extreme for their countries and respecting the other side as they did it.
ANDREW DENTON: One of the things you've done very skilfully, you've faithfully re-created all the material from that time - the weapons, and the uniforms and the boats and the food, the tins of food, everything. s you were standing in that place, with to all intents and purposes the original gear, was there a time when the reality of it seemed to hit you in the gut, where you sensed that you could understand what had happened?
TOLGA ORNEK: Oh, yeah, especially when we did the trenches, when I went into the trenches to shoot the scenes, the explosions in the trenches, with all the equipment as you mentioned. I wanted to get out after 10 minutes. It was so claustrophobic, it was so depressing. You don't see anything. It's so deep, so narrow. You can hardly move. You have no private space. People lived in this area for nine months. They went to the bathroom here, they ate here, they wrote here, they read here and they died here. It shocked me at that moment, when I was in the trenches.
ANDREW DENTON: One of the things in the film, the sequences that surprised me most, was the trenches, the Australian and Turkish trenches only five metres apart.
TOLGA ORNEK: Yeah, in some places, yeah.
ANDREW DENTON: Can you explain the relationship that developed between those men?
TOLGA ORNEK: Well, in Quinn's Post especially the trenches were so close that they saw each other, they physically saw their enemy a lot, day in and day out. So the enemy was not a shadowy figure. It became personalised, and they exchanged gifts often. Turkish soldiers threw cigarettes to the Australians and the Australians threw back chocolate and canned beef. And a definite rapport was established at ANZAC between the Turks and the Australians.
ANDREW DENTON: Ninety years on, do you think there is still a bond between enemies?
TOLGA ORNEK: A bond? Yeah, I think there's a very strong friendship now between the two countries, and I think that bond and friendship was formed because of the respect that was formed during the campaign. And I think, I think there's a very strong friendship, because I could personally testify to this. Each time I come to Australia - I been to Australia, it'll be my fifth time - I feel proud, I feel very comfortable to say I'm Turkish, because people treat me so well and the reception is so warm and so friendly. I've made so many good friends in Australia because of this film, and I've traveled a lot around the world. I've never felt as comfortable saying I'm Turkish in Australia as I did in Australia.
ANDREW DENTON: Why is that? Why do you not feel comfortable saying you're Turkish?
TOLGA ORNEK: Other countries have issues with Turkey, because of our rich and long history. I don't want to get into that. I'm not going to be able to go home.
ANDREW DENTON: You should come here where we have a short and dull one; it's much safer. Tell me, Tolga, Mustafa Kemal, who we saw in the introduction, who went on to found modern Turkey and who played a significant role in Galipoli, that battle stayed with him always, didn't it?
TOLGA ORNEK: Yes, actually that battle made him. He became the man and the soldier and the officer, the commander that he became because of the Galipoli campaign. The experience he gained, the fame he gained, the reputation he gained and the prestige he gained among his troops enabled him to do everything else that he did after Galipoli. To lead the war of independence, to form the Turkish republic, form a secular state, become its first president, and the hero of Dardanelle's and Galipoli always stayed with him as a title. And I think he deserves it, too.
ANDREW DENTON: He said a beautiful thing to the mothers of allied soldiers who'd fallen at Galipoli. What was that?
TOLGA ORNEK: Well, in 1934, he told the mums of the soldiers, "Do not cry anymore, because your sons after falling on our soil had become our sons as well". He embraced the ANZAC soldiers as much as the Turkish soldiers. I think that those words went a long way in establishing the friendship between the two countries, because those words are very powerful, very humane, and especially coming from a commander towards the enemy, I think make them even more impressive.
ANDREW DENTON: You said that Galipoli was in many ways a triumph of the human spirit. In what way?
TOLGA ORNEK: Yeah. They hung on. Unbelievably. No matter what these guys went through, these men went through on both sides, they clung on, they hung on and they fought to the extreme for their countries. It makes you ask yourself, it made me ask myself the question - If I were in their shoes could I do it? Could I display that tenacity? Could I display that courage and self-sacrifice? And I'll be honest, the answer is no. The answer scares me, but I don't think I could do it.
ANDREW DENTON: It seems that with each passing generation we still march to war for some reason or other. What do you think remembering something like Galipoli, which was one of many horrendous conflicts in World War I, what do you think it achieves?
TOLGA ORNEK: Well, if you try to remember in the right way and if you really try to remember the personal stories of the men, the ordinary men, who fought there, I think we'll think twice before we go off to a new war, all bells and whistles, you know, let's go fight, invade, defeat, kill, you know. The fighting has to be done by the men and the dying has to be done by the men who go there. Galipoli as a campaign is a very good example of how that is done. So if we if we're able to understand Galipoli and the men who fought there, I think we'll be really, really cautious of future wars. But having said that, I guess it doesn't mean much right now in the world, you know. Everybody's marching off somewhere.
ANDREW DENTON: That's right. If films really worked, 'Saving Private Ryan' would have stopped America going to Iraq, theoretically.
TOLGA ORNEK: Yeah, it should have. Theoretically.
ANDREW DENTON: Who knew Tom Hanks wasn't that influential.
TOLGA ORNEK: Yeah, and Steven Spielberg.
ANDREW DENTON: Yeah, go figure. What hope have you got?
TOLGA ORNEK: Yeah, I mean if Steven can't do it, I cannot do it.
ANDREW DENTON: Tell me, how was the film received in Turkey?
TOLGA ORNEK: It started playing in the theatres five weeks ago and it was the number one film in Turkey five weeks in a row, which is unprecedented for a documentary. And a lot of the people who watched it have really admired it and liked it and enjoyed it. Just a small minority, very, very small minority, didn't like it.
ANDREW DENTON: What didn't they like?
TOLGA ORNEK: And I know you going to ask me about that now. Yeah, you're going to ask me about that. I set myself up so well.
ANDREW DENTON: What didn't they like?
TOLGA ORNEK: Well, on the radical right and left, they didn't like the aspect that it was balanced and it didn't treat the other side as the enemy, the evil enemy, and it personalised and humanised all the sides. They wanted me to make really big distinctions between the invaders and the defenders and shout it out that these were the evil infidel invaders coming to get our country. I'm not interested in that. I'm interested in the personal suffering, the personal stories of the soldiers.
ANDREW DENTON: Quite an achievement I would have thought to get the radical right and the radical left on the same side.
TOLGA ORNEK: Yeah, for the first time in Turkish history, radical right and left have united and that's to attack me.
ANDREW DENTON: When can we expect to see 'Galipoli' in Australia?
TOLGA ORNEK: It's going to have a couple of special screenings at the end of April, and in mid-May it's going to hopefully start playing in the theatres.
ANDREW DENTON: Well, Tolga, I think you've made a genuine and remarkable film, and both our societies - or all our societies are better for it. Thanks very much for your time.
TOLGA ORNEK: Thank you very much for having me. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

We need nature for our physical and psychological well-being. Our actions reflect this when we turn to beloved pets for companionship, vacation in spots of natural splendor, or spend hours working in the garden. Yet we are also a technological species and have been since we fashioned tools out of stone. Thus one of this century's central challenges is to embrace our kinship with a more-than-human world – "our totemic self" – and integrate that kinship with our scientific culture and technological selves.
This book takes on that challenge and proposes a reenvisioned ecopsychology. Contributors consider such topics as the innate tendency for people to bond with local place; a meaningful nature language; the epidemiological evidence for the health benefits of nature interaction; the theory and practice of ecotherapy; Gaia theory; ecovillages; the neuroscience of perceiving natural beauty; and sacred geography. Taken together, the essays offer a vision for human flourishing and for a more grounded and realistic environmental psychology.
"The essays contained in Ecopsychology are the benchmark from which all subsequent elaborations of the discipline will proceed. The introduction and the afterword, by Peter Kahn and Paticia Hasbach, neatly summarize ecopsychology's history, achievements, and challenges. The book does not propose regression to romantic, pre-technological view of nature but rather the use of modern empirical science to forge a fusion between our natural love of the earth, its health, and our own—physical and spiritual. This is the canonical text of a new and exciting discipline."
- Jack Turner, author of The Abstract Wild
"By bringing so many thoughtful and provocative thinkers together, Peter Kahn and Patricia Hasbach have prescribed a 21st century human-nature reunion through which individuals, families, and communities offer and receive the gifts of nature; a future in which, as a species, we no longer feel alone; and a world where life returns."
- Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle and Last Child in the Woods
"This remarkable collection of stunningly important papers remind us of our deep evolutionary, biological and emotional connection to the natural world. Our species, Homo sapiens, undoubtedly the most intelligent and powerful species on Earth, must revere our creator, Nature. Nature nourishes and we must nourish Nature and responsibly embrace our responsibilities to ensure the future of all life on this delicate planet. "
- Donald Johanson, Professor and Founding Director, Institute of Human Origins, School of Human Evolution and Social Change, Arizona State University

It's never fun when the lights go out. And if it's dark outside, it's even worse. Electrical circuit breakers are usually very dependable, but they can go out at any time. You should know what to do before they go out. Circuit breakers are safety devices in your home that keep you from having fires and injury from electrocution. Be prepared, and then the dark won't be such a scary place after all.
What Can Go Wrong?
What usually happens to your circuit breaker is that it trips. All that means is the breaker turned itself off. It may occur because of a power surge from your electric company; it could also be from a short in your wiring. When a circuit breaker has been tripped a lot, the mechanism becomes weak. When this occurs, less than the rated amps can trip it. And, unfortunately like all things, it may have just worn out completely and needs replaced.
What Should I Do If It Trips?
You should already know where your main electrical panel is. When you open the panel's door there will be rows of breakers (usually two). If you don't know which breaker to turn back on, then look for the one that is switched off, and turn it back on. Hopefully that is all you need to do. If it immediately trips again, you have an electrical short and you need to call an electrician to find and repair it. If the same breaker keeps tripping, then it may be a weak breaker or an electrical short. If you don't know which it is, then you should call an electrician.
How To Replace A Circuit Breaker
You will need to look on the face of the breaker that you want to replace and get the amp rating so that you can purchase a new one of the same rating. Get an alternate light source (such as a flashlight) and turn it on. Switch the main breaker off. There should be no electricity in your house now. Take out the screws that hold the panel's cover in place and remove the cover. Find the breaker that you want to replace. Take the wire off of the breaker. Now pry the breaker up on the opposite end that the wire was attached to. Then slip the breaker out of the panel. Pay close attention to how it fits into the panel as you remove it because you will need to know how to replace the new one. Reattach the wire to the new breaker. Slide the breaker into place and snap it down into place. Now replace the panel cover and turn the main breaker back on. Be sure your new breaker is on and go to see that everything is working properly. If anything seems wrong, call an electrician immediately.

I've heard this before: In today's NY Times, there's an interesting story under the headline, "To Charge Up Customers, Put Customers in Charge."
Sample quote:
"In a time of ever more talented technology enthusiasts, hobbyists and do-it-yourselfers, all connected by Internet-enabled communication, he says, the most intensely engaged users of a product often find new ways to enhance it long before its manufacturer does."
If all this sounds familiar, perhaps it's because anyone who has read Cluetrain Manifesto by Doc Searls, et al, knows (after they pointed it out) the obvious fact that customers become the leading experts in your product once they purchase it.
On a related note, here's a good quote from a story this morning at the website, Management-Issues.com:
"The biggest mistake business leaders make is not communicating with or listening to their workforce, new research has suggested."
Wait, now that I'm thinking about it: All of this talk about people being the driving factor in management and product develop has me thinking I need to help spread the meme of a new un-trademarked buzzword: We 2.0. It's about the users.

When David Greene was 14, driving with his father meant making sure Dad didn't run the stop signs.
"I know how to drive," Bob Greene would snipe back. By then, though, he'd often forget to put on his blinker, and he would shortly lose his licence completely. Their father-son time soon narrowed to camping and David's football games, where Bob once wandered onto the field. "At least he was there," says David, now 18.
Today, at the age of 65, his father is no longer "there" at all. It's been years since Mr. Greene recognized David as his son. By the time the former marketing professor went into a nursing home in May 2009, David had become just that "teenaged kid" who lived in their house in King's Landing, N.B. Frontotemporal dementia had turned an intelligent man into an empty presence in his family's life. In the early years, David would still make an effort.
"I'd ask my father anything, to get a hint of him." Bob would babble nonsense, but at least it was something. Now, his son doesn't visit him often. "It's just the shell of him," David says. He speaks of his father as though he has died.
They stand in the background, the children and teenagers of families trying to care for loved ones with dementia, hearing their loving grandmother curse at them, or watching their father decay in front of them. Dementia may be a disease that primarily strikes the elderly, but as Canadians marry and have children later, the number of youth confronted with dementia firsthand is only expected to grow. Yet often the family picture of dementia fails to widen to the younger members who also feel the devastating emotional turmoil of this disease.
"We need to be open with our children," says Marg Eisner, program director for the Alzheimer's Society in the Hamilton area. When counsellors conduct workshops with youth, they break down the brain, showing how damage in certain areas causes strange behaviour, so children have a scientific explanation, and know they aren't to blame. And they are careful to point out that just because a family member may have dementia doesn't mean it's in their own future.
Getting Alzheimer's worries Taylor Stevenson 12, whose father has the disease. She lives in the small town of Elbow, Sask., with her Mom while her dad is in Kamloops, B.C., so the phone is their main form of communication. Taylor can laugh at her dad's mistakes - recently he greeted her with "little lamp," when he meant to say "little lady." "He just got stuck on the 'L'," she says.
But her mom, Debbie, believes Taylor often keeps her feelings bottled up. Wanting Taylor to be informed, she took her to an Alzheimer's information session when she was 10 (raising eyebrows, she says, among the much older crowd). Taylor has read books and fundraised for the Alzheimer's Society.
"Out of the blue one night, she said she wanted to be tested," recalls Debbie of a recent conversation. They talked it over - Taylor wondered whether she should have kids without knowing; her mom explained that a test wouldn't be definitive. "I kind of want to know, but I don't at the same time," Taylor says, tearing up during a phone interview. "I will wait until they have a cure, and then I'll get tested."
Thuy Nguyen-Crawford and her husband, Darren, wanted to make sure their three children felt involved in the care of their grandmother, who has vascular dementia and lives with them part-time. They have given them jobs - Lauryn, 3, helps "Ba" with her shoes; Tyler, 6, helps his grandmother at suppertime; and Tristan, 9, helps her hook up her seatbelt. "They have all become Ba's little shadows, making sure she's okay," says Ms. Nguyen-Crawford.
But, as experts suggest, she has also learned to be specific about the symptoms of her mother's disease, specifically that she may say mean things, or act in a way beyond her control. The hardest part has been explaining to Lauryn why her grandmother sometimes tells her that she "eats like a pig." It's complicated, Ms. Nguyen-Crawford admits, to explain to a hurt three-year-old that her grandmother doesn't mean it.
Understanding is hard for adults, let alone for kids who witness a loved one disappear. It's not been easy for the Greenes, who were close to divorcing when Mr. Greene was finally diagnosed. Beverly Greene, a government health consultant, chose to keep her husband at home for as long as she could, trying to normalize his illness.
But she wonders, in hindsight, if this was the best decision: "I'm not so sure I should have taken up so much of [David's]childhood." She remembers the times David fruitlessly sought out his father's praise, and regrets not insisting that her son go to counselling so he could talk freely with an objective party.
The last months were especially rough, with his mom working full-time and his father incontinent. David, who has since moved out and is trying to finish high school after taking time off, has some anger about this: "No son should have to change his dad's diapers," he says.
To parents, he offers this advice: "Be straight-up. [Kids]need to know what's going to happen." And he shares his own regret: "Treasure every moment. Looking back, I wish I had spent as much time with him as I could."
