This is one of the many beautiful painted rocks hugging Lake Superior near Munising, Michigan in the upper penisula.
They are called painted rocks because as rain water and drainage seeps through the porous rocks, the natural minerals and metals in the earth stain the rocks. The colors and bands "painted" on the rocks literally show the history and truth of the land.

Well, it has been a little while since I last posted due to a nice fast family vacation and family reunions and life in general! I was beginning to feel really guilty about not spending time in my "Craft Corner"! But life has other plans for us...like this time of year is making creamed corn to put in the freezer for the long winter months. The wonderful results are yummy corn, that tastes like it is fresh off the cob, in the middle of the winter! MMMMMM! Well, we did 1 short of 11 dozen ears of corn. Which made about 27, 2 cup bags of creamed corn, that are now in the freezer. With a lot of help from my wonderful kids, we got it all done in just about 3 1/2 hours. The kids worked hard at husking it all for me, while I worked hard in the kitchen over hot corn and scrubbing it all and cutting it all off the cob and packaging it away. I just thought that I would share a few pictures of what we have been up to lately!
Family Reunion!
Well, as you can see we stayed in a very nice cabin in the middle of the woods, but it was in Hocking Hills, Ohio.
My family and I climbing around on the rocks of Hocking Hills!
Hocking Hills, Ohio on the Old Mans Cave trail.
My wonderful kids working very hard husking the corn!
The end result of what the corn looks like after everything is done! Lots of work but ohhhh soooo good! Makes me look forward to winter more!
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a very wonderful day!

In an exact treatment of the Maxwell equations, we derive form and structure factors for reflection from periodic layers, and we show that these factors are significantly different from their analogs in kinematic x-ray diffraction. Quite generally, we show that reflection and impedance can be written precisely as the sum of an additive form factor and the product of a structure factor and a second form factor. This additive form factor does not have an analog in kinematic x-ray diffraction. It is demonstrated that the form factors are found by analytic continuation to an arbitrary wavelength of expressions for the impedance both at long wavelengths and at quarter wavelengths. A correction to the Bragg law relating fringe spacing to the total structure thickness is derived. We go beyond previous numerical work by deriving simple analytic exact expressions for reflection and impedance of periodic layers for all frequencies within the reflection passband, and for an arbitrary number of periods in the structure, an arbitrary index profile within each period, arbitrary layer thicknesses (not just quarter-wave layers), and for arbitrary sizes of the refractive index differences.

Locks Eben Etzebeth and Lood de Jager will have to kiss and make up before the Springboks take the field against Ireland at Newlands on June 11.
The Bok duo was the talk of the town following last weekend's South African derby between Etzebeth's Stormers and De Jager's Cheetahs when they got down to a bit of wrestling action, shortly before the announcement of the Springbok squad for the Incoming Series.
But with Pieter-Steph du Toit having to withdraw from the national squad because of a hamstring injury, Etzebeth and De Jager will have to put their differences aside as they will most likely man the middle of the engine room when the Boks take the field for the first Test under coach Allister Coetzee.
Of the injury to Du Toit, Springbok assistant coach Johan van Graan says: "Pieter-Steph is unbelievably unlucky with injuries at the Springboks. He played his first two Tests at the end of 2013 and then had long injuries.
"He showed at the World Cup he will become one of the best locks in the world. I think he was outstanding in Super Rugby.
"So it's a huge setback for him and for us. He was part of our plans and is still part of our plans…"

President Uhuru Kenyatta has said he is ready for dialogue with the Opposition over the polls body, but maintained that he can only do so within the confines of the law. He told business leaders that his personal presentation to the engagements, and which he would present like any other citizen, was ready.
"I myself have prepared my own position which I am ready to present to them," Mr Kenyatta said in a meeting with members of the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (Kepsa) in a round-table meeting yesterday afternoon. He added that he was not ready for any embarrassment that would arise if he were to ask the commissioners of the IEBC to leave office, then the directive is challenged in court.
"I am not going to ask anyone to leave office then I am embarrassed tomorrow," said the President, who also responded to an unnamed envoy's request that he listens to the Opposition leaders, including Raila Odinga. Mr Kenyatta told the diplomat that there was no need to plead with him (the President) to listen to anyone, as it was his responsibility and duty to accommodate all his values.

Hydrangea Cupcakes Instructions
- Start with the tip of the piping bag flush on the surface of the cupcake.
- Squeeze the piping bag, pull up for a beat, and stop squeezing. That is your first cluster of hydrangea petals!
- Repeat, covering the cupcake in one layer of petals.
- Turn your wrist at different angles per cluster of petals to create a natural look. Go in for a 2nd sweep to fill in any gaps.
- If you mess up, just go in and cover your mistake with another "cluster of petals".
- Side by side, the cupcake "hydrangeas" create a full look for your bouquet.
How To Make a Hydrangea Bouquet
- You can use any sturdy vase, bucket, or even a terracotta pot. I used a galvanised pot.
- You'll need to weigh down the pot with marbles, rocks, or even a sack of flour.
- Next, get a Styrofoam ball that fits in the pot. My pot was 6" in diameter, so I bought a 6" Styrofoam ball. Then I cut the Styrofoam ball in half with a cerated knife.
- To secure the foam ball to the pot, I placed beads of crafting glue around the inside lip of the pot and then placed the foam ball flush against the inside of the pot. You can also use a hot glue gun.
- Next, I wanted to disguise the foam ball and make a nice green base that would peak through any gaps between cupcakes. I bought a moss mat to use as a topper. I secured the moss mat topper with floral pins. And we have our bouquet base!

District soccer: St. Petersburg 1, Countryside 0
CLEARWATER — One small break, one sliver of an opportunity.
That's all Isabel Garcia needed to collect her first goal of the season. Oh, and also allow second-seeded St. Petersburg to win its first district championship since 2007, taking the Class 4A-10 title 1-0 over top-seeded Countryside on Friday night.
Now at 16-2, 8-1 in district play, the Green Devils will host District 9 runnerup King on Thursday to open region play. Countryside (13-2-1, 7-1-1) will travel to face district champ Bloomingdale.
In the 65th minute of a tightly-contested game, St. Petersburg funneled the ball down the right side to the penalty area. The Cougar defense looked to tuck the loose ball back to goalkeeper Alyssa Barnes but the touch on the ball was too light. Garcia pounced from the left side and saw a vast expanse of open net before her.
"This ball had better not go out," Garcia thought to herself just before her winning strike. "This ball had better hit the back of the net."
And it did as the junior's shot just beat a lunging Barnes to the middle of the net.
"I just try not to overthink it," Garcia said. "When I overthink it, that's when I really mess up. Just go out and hit it."
"The teams were pretty evenly matched and this is a tough district," said St. Petersburg coach Rui Farias. "We knew the first team to catch a break, the first team to score would probably win."
Until that point, St. Petesburg was commanding possession behind freshman Holly Beaver and senior Alex Calhoun, generating quality scoring opportunities for junior Francesca Ycaza and Garcia. After the goal, sophomore Caroline DeWitt looked to deliver the knockout blow but was stuffed by Barnes (seven saves, five in the second half).
"We try to control the midfield, go out wide with our wings and get behind (the defense)," said Garcia.
Countryside was struggling with the speed and physical play of the Green Devils, but still produced three strong shots from Lily Conte that challenged sophomore keeper Angeline Friel (four saves).
"St. Pete attacks quickly and swarmed us," said Cougars coach Chris Duffy. "They were very aggressive and we had great effort but we didn't play well. I'm disappointed in the result but not disappointed with the team, and we're still in (the playoffs)."

In keeping with tradition, Hailey spent a lot of time during the week and the whole day on Friday preparing with friends and Hayden and I went shopping the morning of to get him a new shirt, a tie and a pair of dress shoes. Hayden is a one stop, practical shopper. Sears...in and out in less than 15 minutes.
Hailey and her friend Megan put together this slideshow on Saturday morning. When you get to the end...the pictures of me trying to get all the bobby pins out of her hair...notice the clock...Midnight. I never stay up that late. Especially when I've been awake since 4am.

Greetings all, I stumbled upon this Hopi prophecy video as I'm interested in the matter, and I thought I'd share it with others. I don't know who this man is, and I'm not sure if this has been posted, but I haven't seen anything related.
Here is some info, as read from the video description provided by the poster:
Here are some videos I came across one day. They were taken in 1986 at an elementary school. I found it very weird to watch it 23 years later and see how much the world had changed. I'll bet the man is still alive. He can definitely understand it now better than in 1986.
The following was taken from a description from the 5th video in the list:
The Hopi maintain a complex religious and mythological tradition stretching back over centuries. However, it is difficult to definitively state what all Hopis as a group believe. Like the oral traditions of many other societies, Hopi mythology is not always told consistently and each Hopi mesa, or even each village, may have its own version of a particular story. But, "in essence the variants of the Hopi myth bear marked similarity to one another." It is also not clear that those stories which are told to non-Hopis, such as anthropologists and ethnographers, represent genuine Hopi beliefs or are merely stories told to the curious while keeping safe the Hopi's more sacred doctrines. As folklorist Harold Courlander states, "there is a Hopi reticence about discussing matters that could be considered ritual secrets or religion-oriented traditions." David Roberts continues that "the secrecy that lies at the heart of Puebloan [including Hopi] life…long predates European contact, forming an intrinsic feature of the culture." In addition, the Hopis have always been willing to assimilate foreign religious ideas into their cosmology if they are proven effective for such practical necessities as bringing rain. As such, it is important to note that the Hopi had at least some contact with Europeans beginning the 16th century, and some believe that European Christian traditions may have entered into Hopi cosmology at some point. Indeed, Spanish missions were built in several Hopi villages starting in 1629 and were in operation until the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. However, after the revolt, it was the Hopi alone of all the Pueblo tribes who kept the Spanish out of their villages permanently, and regular contact with whites did not begin again until nearly two centuries later. The Hopi mesas have therefore been seen as "relatively unacculturated" at least through the early twentieth century, and it may be posited that the European influence on the core themes of Hopi mythology was slight.
[According to my knowledge (Lybertha's) they were recorded in 1976, but I won't claim to be right.]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzjgL8YAmN4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E4RKco0fqw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUQSNuBt6j8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzWDdkVuIn0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_6vGmjabzw

Armenian-North American Literature: Genocide, Diaspora, and Symbols
Looks at a group of texts that have never been treated as a body of literature before and offers the most far-reaching study to date of the effects of the Armenian Diaspora on Armenian literature. Goes through the pertinent moments in Armenian history to prepare an understanding of perhaps the most important fact of Armenian life, the genocide of 1915 which gave rise to the Armenian Diaspora. Employs a new theoretical approach from Europe developed by Jürgen Link called collective symbols.
Earthquake - Poems
Republic of Armenia and the Rethinking of the North American Diaspora Literature
Essays included in this volume are: Armenian-North American Literature and the Possibility of a Diaspora Culture; Lost Fathers and Abandoned Sons - The Silence of Generations in Armenian-North American Literature; Armenia Imagined - Homeland and Diaspora in Armenian-North American Literature; and Exile, Diaspora and the Armenian Writer in a Multicultural Canada. The essays stand in relation to the recent events in the Community of Independent States, specifically the independence of the Republic of Armenia, represents the most up-to-date thinking on the Diaspora.

Towards a theory of derived braids and their categories.
I. Braid relation, ribbons, and the opposite of an enriched category.
II. Products of enriched categories and derived braids.
III. Questions and conjectures.
We begin by describing a geometrical reformulation of the braid relation.The first slide shows this process.
So the Yang-Baxter braid relation can be seen as the equivalence of under and overhanded twists. Next we generalize.
Now switch gears and think about categories: first the basic definitions.
We can't neglect to relate the Y-B equation to naturality.
Now for a further level of definitions: enriched categories.
There are structures defined on V-Cat if there is structure on V. First we define the opposite of a V-category if V is braided, and show that it is a valid V-category. Recall that Joyal and Street proved coherence for braided categories: if two legs of a diagram made up of the canonical natural transformations have the same underlying braid then the two legs are equal--the diagram commutes.
We note that there is a reverse sort of op called "co" that is completely analogous but that uses c^-1. Now another important structure: product on V-Cat.
We note that there is another product, tensor', that uses c^-1. We can now generate lots of braid equalities by combining the two structures of opposite and product enriched categories. For instance, the next slide shows the left and right derived braids underlying the two legs of the pentagon when the enriched category involved is A^opop tensor B^opop. It also includes the instructions for forming Lx and Rx in B_6 for x in B_4 .
The next family of braids come from composing 4 hom-objects in the product of 2 enriched categories: A^opopopop tensor B^opop. The lesson to be learned is that if the braid x in B_2n has Lx=Rx in B_3n then the categorical interpretation implies that if x underlies a composition morphism then it has Lx=Rx in B_kn for all k>2 in N.
In fact we can describe sufficient conditions for Lb to be equivalent to Rb by describing the braids b that underlie the composition morphism of a product category given generally by ((({\cal A}^{op})^{...op}\otimes^{(1)} ({\cal B}^{op})^{...op})^{op})^{...op} where the number of op exponents is arbitrary in each position. Those braids are alternately described as lying in H\sigma_2K \subset B_4 where H is the cyclic subgroup generated by the braid \sigma_2\sigma_1\sigma_3\sigma_2 and K is the subgroup generated by the two generators {\sigma_1, \sigma_3}. We use \sigma for the classical braid group generators. The latter subgroup K is isomorphic to Z\times Z. The first coordinate corresponds to the number of op exponents on A and the second component to the number of op exponents on B (when positive-to co when negative). The positive power of the element of H corresponds to the number of op exponents on the product of the two enriched categories, that is, the number of op exponents outside the parentheses. That b is in H\sigma_2K implies Lb=Rb follows from the fact that the composition morphisms belonging to the opposite of a V-category obey the pentagon axiom. An exercise of some value is to check consistency of the definitions by constructing an inductive proof of the implication based on braid group generators. This is not a necessary condition. Here is a picture of x in B_4 such that Lx=Rx.
When the number n of enriched categories in a product category increases, the number of braids in B_(2n) such that Lx=Rx in B_(3n) grows quickly, using op, co, various parenthizations, and both tensor and tensor' to combine the enriched categories.
We conjecture that the allowed combinations ("decreasing products") obey Lx=Rx. Back to research page.

Oufa Said I Am Just A Boy
Oufa said "I am just a boy". I didn't understand what he meant to begin with, but eventually I realised that he wanted just that. To remain a boy. To avoid what we as adults often impose on children of what is right and wrong. Oufa didn't say that, because he is just a boy.

Exercise is movement which works our bodies at a greater intensity then our usual level of daily activity
When we exercise our body goes through various physiological changes to fuel the activity and maintain body equilibrium
Different types of exercise
Aerobic exercise is performed at a lower intensity over a longer period of time which can allow us talk during participation
Sporting examples?
Ideal for increasing power, strength and muscle mass
Aerobic exercise burns fat and calories which can result in weight loss
Aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular fitness by increasing capacity to use oxygen and keeping heart pumping for extended periods
- Refers to exercise
without oxygen
. It is a short, high intensity activity where oxygen demand exceeds oxygen supply.
Different types of exercise
Relies on energy source stored in _______ and is not dependent on oxygen
Generally does not allow us the breath to be able to talk during participation because of the nature of exercise
sporting examples?
A number of changes take place to the cardiovascular system during exercise to ensure that the muscles receive the required amounts of oxygen and nutrients
Prior to exercise
occurs ( stimulates
nervous system to release
During exercise - carbon dioxide Lactic acid
Cardiovascular responses
Cardiovascular responses
Cardiovascular responses
During exercise stroke volume increases progressively and eventually levels off at a higher level until exercise has finished
Fitness and gender are two factors in stroke volume levels
average 70-90 ml
athlete 110 ml
CO (L) = HR (bpm) x SV (L)
heart rate
sympathetic nervous system
parasympathetic nervous system
rest = 5 L p/m
exercise = 30 L p/m
Mechanism act to restrict BP becoming too high
Reading BP requires a
(when heart is contracting ) and
value (when heart is relaxing) - 120/80 mm Hg
Factors include sex, age, race and physical activity
During exercise Systolic BP rises progressively and diastolic BP stays the same or decreases
Increase in breathing rate
Respiratory responses
Respiratory responses
Respiratory responses
Exercise increases oxygen consumption of skeletal muscles. as oxygen consumption increases volume of carbon dioxide also increases
blood oxygen and
blood carbon dioxide = breathing rate
Demands increase in blood flow to skeletal muscles which places demand on RS and CS
System failure = out of breath .. due to inability of heart and CS to move enough blood between lungs and muscles .. not RS's fault
During breathing external intercostal muscles contract - ribs and sternum - upwards + outwards
During exercise forced breathing is used which differs from normal breathing because of __ .. and if exercise is strenuous then abdominal muscles assist with expiration
Muscles involved in the breathing process can utilize 10% oxygen uptake = cramp in muscles = stitch
External intercostal muscles
aid with inspiration during exercise and
internal intercostal muscles
aid with expiration during exercise
Increase in tidal volume
Tidal volume is air ventilated per breath
Exercise increases minute ventilation (gas ventilated per minute)
During exercise oxygen demand occurs by breathing at a faster rate and breathing in more air and breathing out more air during each breath
Respiratory responses
Valsava Manoeuvre
- forcibly exhaling - mouth closed - nose pinched - forcing air into the middle ear
Respiratory responses
Pulmonary ventilation
- the process of air flowing into the lungs and out of lungs. Air flows from high pressure to low pressure region
Response to the body to exercise = concentration of CD the blood following
oxygen utilization
CD level causes respiratory system to send impulses to intercostal muscles
Muscular breathing movements cause three changes in pressure that result in ventilation -
atmospheric P
intra-alveolar P
intrapleural P
Used as a test of cardiac function or to clear the ears when external pressure increases
Initial pressure rise - pressure rises inside chest and forces blood out = BP
Reduced venous return and compensation
Pressure release
Return of cardiac output
Respiratory system is responsible for getting oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body
Oxygen is used to help produce energy during exercise
Energy production also produces a waste product called ______ _______ which needs to be removed from the body
Our body adapts by increasing breathing rate to increase oxygen uptake and remove carbon dioxide
Tidal volume increases during exercise to allow more oxygen to be consumed and meet muscle oxygen demands and returns to normal after exercise

VW Jetta passes EPA emissions test on canola oil
Albuquerque, New Mexico – A 2002 Volkswagen Golf TDI modified to run on straight canola oil (V100) has produced emissions below U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards in recent tests. The tests were performed at the National Center for Vehicle Emissions Control and Safety, located at Colorado State University.
The Jetta was modified by Albuquerque Alternative Energies, and uses a vegetable oil fuel system consisting of a heated fuel pickup, dual-stage processing filter, electric final fuel heater, and a controller that precisely controls the fuel temperature to maintain correct viscosities.

My Perfect Gift (A Christmas Novella)
by EJ Shortall
Christmas isn't the same anymore for Lara Hollywell, not since she lost her greatest gift of all, her fiancé. Now, she spends her holidays with family remembering Christmases past and contemplating a life without love, a life where only dreams and fantasies keep her company.
Blake Snowden is tired of being seen as nothing more than the man with deep pockets and a handsome face. He wants romantic walks, snuggling by the fireplace and kisses under the mistletoe. And he wants it all with his beautiful Head of Marketing, Lara.
When Blake rigs the company's annual secret Santa draw to get Lara's name, will they both discover more than the perfect gift in their stockings on Christmas morning?
★✩★✩★ 5 – Heartbreaking & Sweet Holiday Romance – Stars ★✩★✩★
~this review may contain minor spoilers~
After three years of watching from the side-lines, waiting for the perfect opportunity to prove to her he wasn't all work, work, work, with a side of playboy thrown in for good measure, Blake had finally decided to take the bull by the horns and...take part in Secret Santa. Or at least make it look like he was taking part in Secret Santa.
I love Christmas, everything about it – the songs, the decorations, the TV specials and movies, baking goodies, all of it – it's my absolute favorite time of the year. Throw books and romance into the mix and I'm ALL OVER IT! This not only embraced the joys of the season, it revolved around a woman suffering with moving on from a loss so big it still haunts her after seven years and the man who wants nothing more than to bring her some happiness and is done waiting around. Lara left me in some pretty heavy turmoil. On the one hand, my heart bleed for her, I cannot imagine dealing with a loss like that. On the other hand, her obstinate refusal to move on, her unwillingness to let go of the past and see what was in front of her, irritated the hell outta me. Which in turn made me feel guilty because I haven't been in her shoes and everyone grieves differently. Blake was exactly what she needed, even if it took her for-freaking-ever to figure that out. He was sweet and patient as hell, but persistent without being overly pushy. He knew what he wanted and was just looking for her to give him a chance. Her reluctance in the face of everything he was trying to do for her slowly broke him down, bruised his ego as well as his heart, but he saw something in Lara that he refused to walk away from. It was sweet and heartbreaking, romantic and hopeful, all wrapped up in a shiny Christmas bow. This is a novella, which is inherently shorter than a novel, so we don't get to spend as much time with the characters, but Ms. Shortall still did a fabulous job of making sure we got to really know them, understand them and where they were coming from, and hope for some happiness. The ending isn't what I personally would classify as an HEA, more like a HFN. It was nice and sweet, leaving me feeling more hopeful than concluded – if that makes any sense. But in this case, I think it was more about the journey than the ending. If your looking for a way to pass a few hours than definitely give this a read. It's filled with laughs and tears, love and strength, all wrapped up in the Christmas glow.
"do you know how difficult it is to buy the perfect gift for you? I didn't know what to get you. I bet you hate it."
"It doesn't matter what it is. There could be a lump of coal in there for all I care. All I want is you, Lara."
EJ was born and raised in a suburb of West London where she still lives with Mr. T her first love and partner of twenty-two years, and their 'child giant' seventeen year old son. Additional snuggles come from Chloe, her fourteen year old black moggy. She's a bit of a character and loves nothing more than to lie down and read with E.J.
Having worked in education for the better part of 12 years, EJ decided a change was needed and, following a moment of inspiration, she decided to put pen to paper and start writing her first novel, Silver Lining. Not content with just the one, she continued with book two and hopes to write many more.
She has always enjoyed reading, but found it was mostly just a holiday extravagance. Then she discovered a certain worldwide best seller, and that was it she was hooked. Reading quickly became an obsession and she couldn't devour books fast enough. The books on her shelves and reading device range from sweet, Young Adult romances, to smouldering erotic encounters.
Aside from reading and writing, EJ also enjoys amateur photography and cake decorating.
"I am on one amazing roller coaster ride at the moment, meeting new and wonderful people, discovering new music gems to integrate into my stories, and learning so many new skills. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me."
If you would like to join E.J. on her journey, please follow or contact her. She would love to hear from you!

Auckland Christmas house fire claims fourth victim
A father who was seriously injured in a south Auckland house fire that killed three members of his family has now died.
Kailesh Thanabalasingham, 47, had been in a coma for weeks at Middlemore Hospital following the blaze on December 22.
Family spokesperson Deborah Manning confirmed his death on Friday morning.
"I can confirm that Kailesh passed this morning in the early hours, due to pneumonia," she said.
* Prominent member of refugee community named as survivor of deadly house fire
* Family members discharged from hospital as father remains in coma
* Auckland father critically injured in house fire will miss funeral for wife, son, mother-in-law
* Victims of Flat Bush house fire farewelled at Auckland service
"The family are devastated, and focusing on his daughter, and asking for privacy."
Thanabalasingham's wife Bhamini Theiventhiran, 39, their five-year-old son Bareth Kaileshan and Bhamini's mother, Umadhevi Theiventhiran, all died after becoming trapped when the family's Flat Bush home went up in flames.
The three of them were farewelled at a joint funeral service at Manukau Memorial Gardens on January 5.
Thanabalasingham was still in a coma at the time of the funeral.
He later regained consciousness, but it's not clear whether he knew that three members of his family had died.
Thanabalasingham arrived in New Zealand as a refugee more than 10 years ago.
Dr Ann Hood, the chief executive officer of Refugees As Survivors New Zealand, said his life "encapsulates the spirit of what it means to be a refugee".
"He arrived in New Zealand with nothing. Within just a few years he created a safe place for his family to grow up, built a very successful career and worked tirelessly to support his own community and new refugee families settling in New Zealand," she said.
"He touched the lives of so many people with his warm and sunny nature and his compassion and determination to make a difference.
"New Zealand is a richer place as a result of his efforts to foster a humane and inclusive society where all people are respected and valued."
A Givealittle page created to support Thanabalasingham following the tragedy has now raised more than $80,000.
Refugees As Survivors New Zealand outreach coordinator Diana Swarbrick, who set up the page, said all the money raised would go into a trust for Thanabalasingham's 11-year-old daughter, Krishah.
She was being cared for by Thanabalasingham's aunts.
Umadhevi Theiventhiran and her husband were visiting from Canada to see their daughter and her family when the fire broke out.
Neighbours described hearing screams and breaking glass as the fire consumed the Plantation Ave home.
The alarm was raised by Krishah, who fled onto the street crying that her family were still inside.
Thanabalasingham also escaped with his father-in-law Theiventhiran, and was seen sitting burned and bleeding on the street before being rushed to Middlemore.
Krishah was also hospitalised for a brief time.
The day after the fire family friend Sivaram Anandsivam said she was inconsolable following the loss of her mother, grandmother, and brother.
"She's crying all the time," he said.
Anandsivam said the grandfather was also in shock, but trying his best to support his devastated granddaughter.
"He came all the way from Canada, and he's lost his wife, and daughter, and grandchild," he said.
"He's speechless, and trying to console his granddaughter, but she's crying all the time, saying 'I won't be having my mother or brother any more in my life', so it's really upsetting."
Thanabalasingham's death will be referred to the Coroner.

* Euro hits six-week high vs dollar
* Higher money market rates lend support to euro rise
* U.S. congressional negotiators reach budget deal
By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss
NEW YORK, Dec 11 (Reuters) - The euro rose for a seventh straight session against the dollar on Wednesday, driven by a combination of higher money market rates and a growing belief that the European Central Bank will keep interest rates low for some time but not cut them.
Overnight lending rates have been creeping higher the last few sessions, as banks have paid back long-term funding lent by the ECB at the height of the euro zone debt crisis.
In addition, two-year swap rates have risen as the ECB has shown unwillingness to ease monetary policy despite low inflation.
Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions in Washington, said higher short-term rates have indeed enhanced the appeal of the euro but noted that much of the euro's outperformance has been a function of investors reducing short positions.
Overall he said the euro zone still "faces a long road to recovery," citing recent weak economic data, particularly in France, the euro bloc's second-largest economy. French industrial output numbers released on Tuesday showed a decline for a second straight month.
In midday New York trading, the euro was up 0.2 percent against the dollar at $1.3794, after hitting a six-week high of $1.38. So far in 2013, the euro has gained 4.5 percent versus the greenback, on track for its best yearly gain since 2007.
Against the yen, the euro was down 0.2 percent at 141.18 yen . It was up more than 23 percent versus the Japanese currency so far in 2013.
The euro has also been supported by European banks repatriating funds to shore up their capital bases before an ECB Asset Quality Review (AQR).
Simon Smith, head of research at FxPro, said the euro could hold "around the upper 1.30s level" early next year. It might weaken after the AQR, but Smith expects it to fall less against the dollar than other currencies when the Federal Reserve begins slowing its huge bond-buying program.
One-year risk reversals - which compare demand for options on a currency's rising or falling - show a bias for euro puts, or bets that it will weaken. That suggests many speculators think the rally will not last.
The dollar, meanwhile, slipped 0.1 percent against a basket of currencies to 79.85, and fell 0.5 percent versus the yen to 102.36.
The greenback has weakened in recent sessions on the view that the Fed will not reduce its economic stimulus until early next year. James Bullard, the St. Louis Fed president, however, has kept the window open for a small amount of tapering this month.
Still, when the Fed does decide to scale back its bond purchases, any upside for the dollar could be limited since that move has long been expected. Moreover, when the Fed does taper, it would be small comfort for the greenback as short-term interest rates are likely to stay low.
But one ray of hope for dollar bulls is a two-year bipartisan budget deal reached in the U.S. Congress aimed at avoiding another government shutdown.
"A complete avoidance of a repeat of the October showdown and shutdown over the budget and debt ceiling can only be seen as dollar-positive as it will put the Fed on a faster track toward the taper," said John Hardy, head of FX strategy at Saxo Bank in London.
He wondered whether the Fed's December meeting next Tuesday and Wednesday could set up a January taper move.
The Swiss franc, meanwhile, hit a seven-month high against the euro, which fell to 1.2201 francs. The euro was little changed at 1.2217 francs

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
yes we checked that. The lights don't come on.
are you talking about the panel on the breaker box or the dishwasher
This may sound dumb but is that on the outside of the door at the very bottom with the door closed.
We are trying that now.
if we are looking right this panel in on the floor underneat the door. It looks like it is setting on the floor. Is that correct.
my husbank took the cover off the box and checked the wires and he can't see anything wrong.
he thiinks he might. he is checking.
he found something that has 2 prongs shaped like a y attached to a little blue power tester. would this be it?
it is a GE ac/ dc .it look like 50 - 300 volts
does that panel have 8 screws?
In a diagram all of the screws are not shown so I am not sure. The ones across the top inside of the door and a couple down the sides at the top.Barry
ok i think we go it. give us a few minutes.
Did you get my last reply about calling a technician or buying a new dishwasher. We have done about all we can do. He's putting it back together.
The most common thing to have happened is a wire is broken right at the bottom of the door at the hinge point from opening and closing the door. That can be repaired by spliciing the wires, that is a cheap repair.If the wire is not broken there the only other thing that can be wrong is the control board. A repair person is going to charge more for this part, usually 20% more. It is $103 plus shipping at the site I have linked below thats about $123 plus the labor and trip charge. Here where I work we charge $65 for the repair and the trip total, that would be just under $200 for the repair if the board were the problem. $85 if we were to come and repair the wiring. One of those are bad, there is no doubt about it.
I should also mention every appliance repair shop charges different labor rates so be sure to ask, it varies widely here where I work from place to place.If you found my answer satisfactory please login if you are not already logged in and please leave an ok or better rating. If you have any questions use the reply to expert link please.Thanks,Barry

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generallY to an improved apparatus for mixing gas and liquid and more particularly to an improved apparatus as characterized which includes an ejector.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Among the known gas-liquid mixing methods are those typified by the use of a perforated plate and an ejector. In the perforated plate method, a gas is passed through a perforated member, such as a porous plate or a cylinder, which is dipped in a liquid, to cause mixing of the gas therein as fine bubbles. On the other hand, in the ejector method, a compressed liquid is fed to a nozzle of an ejector to cause mixing of a gas therewith by aspirating the gas under negative pressure around the jet stream of the liquid flowing from the nozzle at high velocity.
The ejector method may be considered to have advantages over the perforated plate method from the viewpoint that fine bubbles are formed therein and because the perforated plate method requires a compressed gas. whereas the ejector method can be operated under atmospheric pressure without need of a compressed gas. Accordingly, the ejector method is preferably employed. However, the ejector method also has certain disadvantages, such as occurs when the feed rate of the gas being fed from the gas feeder is lower than the aspirating volume rate of the ejector, in which case the pressure of the gas feed system, including the gas feeder, decreases to cause trouble. That is, there is a possibility that a counterflow of the liquid from the gas aspirating inlet of the ejector to the gas feed system will develop after the termination of the operation of the ejector. Generally, a structure is provided for preventing such counterflow, such as an electromagnetic valve or other check valve, even though the gas feed system is in negative pressure. However, it often happens that this valve is not properly actuated, in which case, such counterflow is not always prevented.
It is therefOre an object of the present invention to provide an improved apparatus which will overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the typical ejector method and prevent the counterflow of liquid by preventing a negative pressure from developing in the gas feed system.
Thus, in the present invention, a valve, such as a check valve, is disposed between the aspirating inlet of the ejector and the gas feeder so as to provide an additional aspirating gas not having an adverse affect on the purpose of the gas-liquid mixing being performed when the pressure of the gas feed system decreases below a predetermined value. In a preferred embodiment, the gas-liquid mixing apparatus according to the present invention comprises an ejector for gas-liquid mixing, such as for mixing ozone and a liquid, a reaction vessel connected to the outlet side of the ejector, an exhaust ozone removing device for removing the ozone discharged from the reaction vessel, and a check valve disposed between a first pipe system connecting an ozone generator for generating ozone to the ejector and a second pipe system connecting the reaction vessel to the exhaust ozone removing device, whereby any ozone leaked from the check valve is fed to the exhaust ozone removing device for removing the unreacted ozone and the remaining gas is discharged to the atmosphere. With such a gas-liquid mixing apparatus, counterflow of the liquid from the gas aspirating inlet of the ejector to the gas feed system can be satisfactorily prevented and ozone leaked from the check valve can be removed by the exhaust ozone removing device to prevent leakage of ozone to the atmosphere.
Various other objects, features and attendant advantages of the present invention will be more fully appreciated as the same becomes better understood from the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate like or corresponding parts and in which:
FIG. 1 is a system diagram of one embodiment of a gas-liquid mixing apparatus according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a system diagram illustrating the background of the invention; and
FIG. 3 is a system diagram of another embodiment of a gas-liquid mixing apparatus according to the present invention.
As pointed out hereinbefore, the principal disadvantage of the ejector method, being the occurrence of liquid counterflow, can be prevented by preventing the development of negative pressure in the gas feed system.
Referring then to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1, a gas-liquid mixing apparatus formed according to the teachings of this invention is shown to include an ejector 1, a pump 2, for feeding a compressed liquid to the ejector 1, being connected thereto by a pipe 3, a gas feeder 4 connected to the ejector 1 by a pipe 5 for feeding the gas thereto, an outlet pipe 6 for a gas-liquid mixture to be discharged from the ejector, and a check valve 7 for preventing negative pressure in the gas feed system by permitting flow of a fluid only in the direction indicated by the arrow through a pipe 8 for feeding a gas into pipe 5 which has no adverse affect on the purpose of the primary gas-liquid mixing being performed. Thus, the counterflow of liquid to the gas feed system is prevented by feeding the gas from the pipe 8 under opening of the valve 7 when the pressure of the gas feed system falls below a predetermined value.
In the structure of FIG. 1, when air does not adversely affect the purpose to which the gas-liquid mixing is applied, the pipe 8 can be opened to the atmosphere. Under a normal operational condition, in some cases, the pressure of the gas feed system is that of atmospheric pressure or sometimes preferably slightly higher. Accordingly, when the check valve 7 is not completely closed, such as because of an improper or accidental operation thereof, the gas feed from feeder 4 for the gas-liquid mixing leaks to the atmosphere to thereby cause a problem. It is therefore necessary to consider the problem of such leaked gas. When ozone, for example, is used as the feed gas, ozone and the liquid are mixed in the ejector 1 and then the gas-liquid mixture fluid is fed through the outlet 6 to a reaction vessel to cause reaction. However, a small amount of the unreacted ozone remains in the exhaust gas. This exhaust gas can be discharged through an exhaust ozone removing device, for removing the unreacted ozone, to the atmosphere.
The structure shown in FIG. 2 will now be described in order to provide further background. In FIG. 2, there is shown an ejector 1, a pump 2, a gas feeder 4, which in this case is an ozone generator, a reaction vessel 11 having the gas-liquid separating function for separating the unreacted gas, an exhaust ozone removing device 12, an outlet pipe 13 from the reaction vessel 11 for the liquid after the reaction with ozone, an outlet pipe 14 from the ozone removing device for unreacted gas after the ozone has been removed and a pipe 15 connecting the reaction vessel 11 and the exhaust ozone removing device 12. In accordance with the apparatus shown in FIG. 2, as stated above in general discussion, the pressure of the gas feed system decreases when the feed rate of the gas fed from the gas feeder is lower than the aspirating volume rate of the ejector 1, whereby the liquid may be disadvantageously counterflowed from the gas inlet of the ejector to the gas feed system after termination of operation of the ejector.
Another embodiment of the present invention providing improvement on the above-mentioned problem is shown in FIG. 3. Here an ejector 1 for gas-liquid mixing is fed compressed liquid by a pump 2, through a pipe 3, and an ozone generator 4 feeds ozone through a pipe 5 to the ejector 1. The outlet pipe 6 of the ejector 1 passes the gas-liquid fluid to a reaction vessel 11, which has a function for reacting ozone with the liquid and/or a material contained in the liquid and also a gas-liquid separating function for separating the unreacted ozone. An outlet pipe 13 is provided for the liquid after the reaction with ozone. An exhaust ozone removing device 12 for removing the unreacted ozone discharged from the reaction vessel 11 is connected by a pipe 15 to the reaction vessel 11, the exhaust ozone removing device 12 having an outlet pipe 14 for discharging the unreacted gas after removing the unreacted ozone.
In accordance with the apparatus of the present invention, therefore, ozone leaked from the check valve 7, when such is not properly closed, is fed to the exhaust ozone removing device 12 for removing the unreacted ozone and then the gas is safely discharged to the atmosphere. Accordingly, it is effective not only for ozone leaked from the check valve 7 but also for the further utilization of ozone which has been already aspirated and mixed, when the ozone feed system becomes negative pressure, to open the check valve 7, being supplied through pipes 8 and 15 from the reaction vessel 11.
The part connecting through the check valve 7 is not limited to the pipe 5 and the pipe 15. Instead of the pipe 5, for example, the check valve can be connected to any part which becomes negative pressure when the feed of the gas from the ozone generator 4 is decreased. Instead of the pipe 15, the check valve can be directly connected to the inlet of the exhaust ozone removing device and also to the upper part, or gas phase part, of the reaction vessel 11. The check valve 7 can also be replaced by a valve having a similar function, such as an interlocking mechanism of a pressure differential switch or an electromagnetic valve.
Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein.

France Plans to Ditch Diesel
When it comes to vehicular fuels two giants come to mine: gasoline and diesel. The former is dominant on this side of the Atlantic while the latter is extremely popular in the old world. Despite this the French government has plans to slowly phase out diesel for use in passenger cars.
They also plan to implement a ranking system that identifies the dirtiest, most polluting models. Supposedly this will permit local authorities to restrict access to certain places based on emissions.
About 80 percent of motorists in this Western European country drive vehicles with compression-ignition engines, though this is not necessarily a good thing. Prime Minister Manuel Valls said, "In France, we have long favored the diesel engine. This was a mistake, and we will progressively undo that, intelligently and pragmatically."

Beyond a ranking system and potentially limited access to cities, another option French lawmakers have is the tax incentive. The country's 2015 state budget seeks to reduce the advantage for diesel compared to gasoline. They plan to raise the excise tax on this oily fuel by two euro cents per liter, something that would bring in an additional 807 million euros next year.
Earlier this year the country's energy minister announced that drivers who opt to dump a dirty, diesel-powered car and buy a supposedly clean electric model can receive a bonus of up to 10,000 eruos, about $13,500.
It'll be interesting to see how France's machinations to ditch diesel pan out.
