There are two options for babies and toddlers to join mom or dad in a bike ride. You can get a seat that will be attached to the back of the adult bike or you can use a trailer that will be towed behind mom or dad's bike.
Bicycle built for two!
If you decide to have the seat that attaches to the back, it is best to have an integrated rack, it is safer and more study less likely to sway or come apart. The seat will be easy to remove or attach so you will not have to have it attached all the time like you would with a permanently seat attached with nuts and bolts.
Find one that is sturdy and keeps your baby's feet away from the wheels to prevent any injuries from the spokes. Wait until your baby is at least 6 month old before you take them on a bike ride. They should be about to support their own heads and sit by themselves.
Carrying your child with you on the bicycle does have some benefits. Your child is old enough to enjoy the ride and see the sights. Having them close to you will give him a sense of security. But just know that the bike will become top heavy. So it might be easily put off balance. The movement of your child can also make it hard to keep the bike stable.
Baby in tow!
If you choose to carry your baby in a trailer, he will be riding in style with plenty of room. It will also allow you to carry other things with you like a picnic basket or diaper bag. If you do use a trailer you will also need to display a flag to make others aware because trailers are low to the ground and hard to see. Towing the trailer will add some weight to your bike, but it will be much more stable than having the child in a seat.
Safety first!
The most important thing to remember when you go riding is that everyone wears a helmet, and that includes you! Look for a helmet that's been approved and take time to adjust it to fit snuggly on your child's head. If you are concerned your child will not be willing to wear the helmet then take some time before your trip to "practice" wearing it. Be sure to wear yours too so you can be part of the game!
What to take?
Don't forget to bring a fully stocked diaper bag along for the ride. Attach some toys if they are going to be in the trailer to keep them entertained. Might want to also include a stuffed animal along for the baby to snuggle with or lean on if they start to get sleepy. Bring something for you and the baby to drink and snack on if you are going for a long ride.

text: Hi i'm Laurence. 27. I'm looking for some feedback and advice from some people with a graphic design background. I run a Retro/Vintage clothing shop in Kent which has been open for 5 years. I am looking to re-name and brand my shop in the coming months and create a new logo design for the shop front, carrier bags, flyers/advertising, Facebook etc. The logo i have in mind would be a very decorative vintage/retro/old fashioned crest or shield shaped logo For carrier bags and business cards etc. .. BUT the sign above shop would be more of a landscape logo with retro typeface. My question is: ....( before i approach a designer.) AM I RIGHT IN THINKING I SHOULD HAVE TWO DESIGNS MADE? (One simple design for shop front with name and 'who we are' and a second decorative portrait style logo for carrier bags, business cards etc) WOULD THIS BE THE CORRECT THING TO DO HAVING TWO DIFFERENT LOGOS? SHOULD I STICK TO JUST ONE LOGO DESIGN FOR EVERYTHING? Any advice on creating a logo and branding for my shop would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks for reading Merry christmas Laurence

BSE Launches First Ever Realized Volatility (REALVOL) Index in India
Bombay Stock Exchange on Friday, Nov 12, 2010, launched the SENSEX Realized Volatility (REALVOL) Index – the first of its kind in India. Realized volatility is a measure of actual price volatility, based on past price movements over a specific period of time. The SENSEX Realized Volatility (REALVOL) Index will provide market participants with an accurate measure of the historic volatility of the SENSEX over fixed 1-, 2-, and 3-month time horizons. BSE intends to launch financial products based on the REALVOL and other new indices in the near future, as one of many parts of its broader strategy to strengthen the Exchange's existing equity derivatives segment.
Madhu Kannan, MD & CEO, BSE, said, "The introduction of the SENSEX Realized Volatility Index, the first of its kind in India, represents an important, new innovation that will give market participants a new way to measure and mitigate market risk. BSE plans to launch futures & options contracts on BSE's new family of realized volatility indices after the required approvals are received. We are also exploring offering of licensing options to structured product providers, who wish to create variance and volatility swaps based on the SENSEX REALVOL Index."

I have been diagnosed with hi polar and go through periods of high and low. I love my husband and can't imangine my life without him but I know when I am low I am awful to live with. We recently lost a baby boy and have a 8 year old with disability. We are both unemployed and are spending to much time together. I feel like a bad mother to our girl, I have no interests where as my husband would find interest in anything, I feel bitter to this but rationally know this is not his fault but mine for not having interest. Also when I am low I find it very hard to entertain my daughter. She is very well behaved but can have melt downs she is only 8. My husband can let these slide off his back but I get totally stressed but I get even more stressed at the anticipation of the..
I am so sorry to hear about your situation.. You sound so sad and lonely. Bi polar disorder is a complex matter and you are dealing with difference forms of grief too. I don't want to offer advice as I think you require professional face to face support rather than on line advice from a stranger. It is good that you have reached out but I think your next step should be to make a new appointment with your Dr or psychiatrist and tell them what you have said here. Your medication may need to be adjusted or you may need therapy as well. If you have good friends and family who are kind and understanding then try to spend time with them. Caring for a disabled child can be very tough so dont be hard on yourself. Just do the best you can.Your mental health is the top priority as without that you can't address any other problems.So go back to your Dr and get the help you need and deserve.Take care.

Gorgon is the main antagonist of the 2013 computer-animated film Walking with Dinosaurs The 3D Movie (also known as Walking With Dinosaurs The Movie, Walking With Dinosaurs 3D, or just simply Walking With Dinosaurs).
Gorgon is an intelligent, dangerous, and menacing Gorgosaurus on the lookout for his next meal. He is determined to feed his extended family and uses whatever strategy he can to capture his prey.
Gorgon is first seen when Patchi and his brother, Scowler, get caught up in a huge fire when migrating with their herd to the feeding grounds. Gorgon attacks the two brothers while they are separated from their family and prepares to eat them when their father, Bulldust, who is also the leader of the herd, steps in to protect his sons and battles the evil dinosaur. After a fierce fight, Gorgon clamps his jaws down on Bulldust's neck, killing him.
Later, Gorgon is shown catching a pterosaur to feed himself and his henchmen. He discovers Patchi alongside Juniper's herd and is given the right moment to attack. Gorgon and his thugs charge at the herd, causing them to run in fear. There is mayhem as Gorgon's henchmen separate the weak and young from the herd and prepare to kill them. Patchi, Juniper, and Scowler fall into a raging river and are swept away, but survive.In the final confrontation, years later, Gorgon and his henchmen ambush the herd once again. He turns on Scowler and attacks him, but before he can finish him off, Patchi rushes to the rescue. He head-butts the wicked dinosaur and, aided by Juniper, drive off his two thugs. Gorgon makes one final lunge in an attempt to kill Patchi, who, thinking of his father, brother, and girlfriend, charges at Gorgon, knocking out some of his teeth and breaking his right arm with the hole in his frill. Gorgon, in defeat, runs away into the forest never to be seen again.
Millions of years later his skull is found by a palaeontologist named Zack, his niece Jade and nephew Ricky.
While Gorgon may comparable with instinctive predators, the only thing that made them different was his persistence in following a prey once he set his eyes on them had significant grudges against those whom fortunate enough to survive his grasp: This was shown when he see Patchi and his friends, he immediately charged his minions to attack them in spite of obstacles that set to deter them.
- Gorgon is sometimes thought to be the secondary antagonist of the film, with Scowler as the main antagonist (due to his controlling and overbearing attitude). However, Gorgon is still the main antagonist because he was more dangerous and had darker intentions than Scowler. On the other hand, while Scowler was still mean, abusive, and overbearing (especially to Patchi), he still cared about his brother deep down and eventually redeemed himself. Gorgon showed neither of those positive character traits towards Patchi.

Kerry Wood's three-year, $32.5 million deal is the most lucrative deal for a pitcher in Chicago Cubs history.
Paul Connors/AP
Kerry Wood figures the curse is about to be broken soon, and he wants to help the Chicago Cubs shatter it.
Wood agreed Friday to a $32.5 million, three-year contract, the most lucrative deal for a pitcher in club history. It includes a mutual option for the 2007 that could increase the value to $43 million.
''For me it was pretty simple. This organization gave me the opportunity when I was 18 years old to play professional baseball. That's something I'll never forget,'' Wood said in Mesa, Ariz.
''It was pretty easy. We are going to be a good team for a long time. And that was the whole determining factor for me. ... The whole reason I play this game is to win, and I think we are going to do that here for a while.''
Boston Red Sox: In Fort Myers, Fla., the Boston Red Sox said Bronson Arroyo will be on the mound for the when they play the Yankees in an exhibition game on March 7, the first meeting of the teams since New York won last year's AL pennant.
''It's the Yankees,'' Arroyo said. ''It doesn't matter if it's spring or the postseason, it's the Yankees. And if they want to see what I've got, no better team to prove it against than that Yankees.''
Jose Contreras or Javier Vazquez is likely to start for New York.
Oakland A's: In Phoenix, left-hander Mark Mulder had back spasms that caused him to miss two straight spring training workouts.
The 26-year-old Mulder woke up Sunday with a sore back, a problem he never before encountered.
''I was concerned Sunday but that was about it,'' Mulder said Friday. ''(Mark) Kotsay said it's happened to him and it usually takes three or four days, and that's what it's been.''
Mulder sustained a stress fracture in his right leg near the hip last August and missed the rest of the season. He went 15-9 with a 3.13 ERA, tying Roy Halladay and Bartolo Colon for the major league lead with nine complete games despite making only 26 starts.
Seattle Mariners: In Peoria, Ariz., Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Chris Snelling had surgery on a bone in his right hand, sidelining the Australian for the next six weeks.
He was hurt Thursday in batting practice after taking only two or three swings, another in a string of injuries for Snelling.
Snelling had surgery in August for a tear in his left knee.
He split time last year between Class AA San Antonio, hitting .333 in 47 games, and AAA Tacoma, hitting .269 in 18 games.
His season also ended with knee surgery in 2002. Snelling was called up to the Mariners from San Antonio in May and played eight games before tearing an ligament in his left knee while rounding third base at Oakland.
In August 2001, he broke his right ankle after being selected to the California League's midseason All-Star team.

Popliteal Sciatic Block
FIGURE 20.1-1. (A) Needle insertion for the popliteal intertendinous approach. (B) Needle insertion for lateral approach to popliteal block.
General Considerations
The popliteal block is a block of the sciatic nerve at the level of the popliteal fossa. This block is one of the most useful blocks in our practice. Common indications include corrective foot surgery, foot debridement, and Achilles tendon repair. A sound knowledge of the principles of nerve stimulation and the anatomic characteristics of the connective tissue sheaths of the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa are essential for its successful implementation.
Functional Anatomy
The sciatic nerve is a nerve bundle consisting of two separate nerve trunks, the tibial and the common peroneal nerves (Figure 20.1-2). A common epineural sheath envelops these two nerves at their outset in pelvis. As the sciatic nerve descends toward the knee, the two components eventually diverge in the popliteal fossa to continue their paths separately as the tibial and the common peroneal nerves. This division of the sciatic nerve usually occurs between 4 and 10 cm proximal to the popliteal fossa crease. From its divergence from the sciatic nerve, the common peroneal nerve continues its path downward and laterally, descending along the head and neck of the fibula, Figure 20.1-2. Its major branches in this region are branches to the knee joint and cutaneous branches to the sural nerve. Its terminal branches are the superficial and deep peroneal nerves. The tibial nerve is the larger of the two divisions of the sciatic nerve. It continues its path vertically through the popliteal fossa, and its terminal branches are the medial and lateral plantar nerves, Figure 20.1-2. Its collateral branches give rise to the medial cutaneous sural nerve, muscular branches to the muscles of the calf, and articular branches to the ankle joint. It is important to note that the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa is lateral and superficial to the popliteal artery and vein, and it is contained in its own tissue (epineural) sheath rather than in a common neurovascular tissue sheath. This anatomic characteristic explains the relatively low risk of systemic toxicity and vascular punctures with a popliteal block (Figure 20.1-3). However, the proximity of the large vessels, popliteal artery, and vein still makes it imperative to carefully rule out an intravascular needle placement by careful aspiration and meticulously slow injection (e.g., ≤20 mL/min).
FIGURE 20.1-2. Anatomy of the sciatic nerve in the popliteal fossa. The sciatic nerve is shown with its two divisions, tibial and common peroneal nerves. The common sciatic nerve (1) is is seen between semitendinosus (, medially) and biceps (, laterally) muscles enveloped by the thick epineural sheath .
FIGURE 20.1-3. The spread of the contrast solution after injection into the common epineural sheath of the sciatic nerve (SN). The sciatic nerve is positioned between the biceps femoris (BF) and semimembranosus (SM) muscles. An extensive spread within the epineural sheath is seen.
Distribution of Blockade
A popliteal block results in anesthesia of the entire distal two thirds of the lower leg, with the exception of the skin on the medial aspect. Cutaneous innervation of the medial leg below the knee is provided by the saphenous nerve, a cutaneous terminal extension of the femoral nerve. When the surgery is on the medial aspect of the leg, the addition of a saphenous nerve block or local anesthetic infiltration at the incision site may be required for complete anesthesia. Popliteal block alone is usually sufficient for tourniquet on the calf because the tourniquet discomfort is the result of pressure and ischemia of the deep muscle beds and not of the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
A standard regional anesthesia tray is prepared with the following equipment:
• Sterile towels and gauze packs
• Two 20-mL syringes containing local anesthetic
• A 3- to 5-mL syringe plus 25-gauge needle with local anesthetic for skin infiltration
• A 50 cm, 22-gauge short-bevel insulated stimulating needle
• Peripheral nerve stimulator
• Sterile gloves; marking pen
Landmarks and Patient Positioning
The patient is in the prone position. The foot on the side to be blocked should be positioned so that even the slightest movements of the foot or toes can be easily observed. This is best achieved by allowing the foot to extend beyond the operating room bed.
Landmarks for the intertendinous approach to a popliteal block are easily recognizable even in obese patients (Figure 20.1-4):
FIGURE 20.1-4. Landmarks for the popliteal block. popliteal fossa crease. biceps femoris tendon. semitendinosus semimembranous muscles.
1. Popliteal fossa crease
2. Tendon of the biceps femoris muscle (laterally)
3. Tendons of the semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles (medially)
Maneuvers to Facilitate Landmark Identification
The anatomic structures are best accentuated by asking the patient to elevate the foot while palpating muscles against resistance. This allows for easier and more reliable identification of the hamstring tendons. All three landmarks should be outlined with a marking pen.
The needle insertion point is marked at 7 cm above the popliteal fossa crease at the midpoint between the two tendons (Figure 20.1-5).
FIGURE 20.1-5. The point of needle insertion (circle) is marked at 7 cm above the popliteal crease between tendons of semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles.
After a thorough cleaning of the injection site with an antiseptic solution, local anesthetic is infiltrated subcutaneously. The anesthesiologist stands at the side of the patient with the palpating hand on the biceps femoris muscle. The needle is introduced at the midpoint between the tendons (Figure 20.1-6). This position allows the anesthesiologist to both observe the responses to nerve stimulation and monitor the patient. The nerve stimulator should be initially set to deliver a current of 1.5 mA (2 Hz, 0.1 ms) because this higher current allows the detection of inadvertent needle placement into the hamstring muscles (local twitches). When the needle is inserted in the correct plane, its advancement should not result in any local muscle twitches; the first response to nerve stimulation is typically that of the sciatic nerve (a foot twitch).
FIGURE 20.1-6. Needle insertion for the popliteal intertendinous approach. Needle is inserted at the midpoint between the biceps femoris laterally and semitendinosus muscles medially.
FIGURE 20.1-8. The needle is re-oriented medially when local twitches of the biceps femoris muscle are elicited.
After initial stimulation of the sciatic nerve is obtained, the stimulating current is gradually decreased until twitches are still seen or felt at 0.2 to 0.5 mA. This typically occurs at a depth of 3 to 5 cm. After obtaining negative results from an aspiration test for blood, 30 to 40 mL of local anesthetic is slowly injected.
When insertion of the needle does not result in stimulation of the sciatic nerve (foot twitches), implement the following maneuvers:
1. Keep the palpating hand in the same position.
2. Withdraw the needle to skin level, redirect it 15° laterally, and reinsert it.
3. When step 2 fails to result in sciatic nerve stimulation, withdraw the needle to skin level, reinsert it 1 cm laterally, and repeat the procedure first with perpendicular needle insertion.
4. When the step 3 fails, reinsert the needle 15° laterally. These maneuvers should facilitate localization of the sciatic nerve when it proves to be challenging.
Table 20.1-1 lists some common responses to nerve stimulation and the course of action to take to obtain the proper response.
TABLE 20.1-1 Common Responses to Nerve Stimulation and the Course of Action to Obtain the Proper Response
Block Dynamics and Perioperative Management
This technique is associated with minor patient discomfort because the needle passes only through the adipose tissue of the popliteal fossa. Administration of midazolam 1 to 2 mg after the patient is positioned and alfentanil 250 to 500 μg just before block placement suffice as premedication for most patients. A typical onset time for this block is 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the type, concentration, and volume of local anesthetic used. The first signs of the onset of blockade are usually reports by the patient's of inability to move their toes or that the foot "feels different." With this block, sensory anesthesia of the skin is often the last to develop. Inadequate skin anesthesia despite the apparently timely onset of the blockade is common and it may take up to 30 minutes to develop. Thus local infiltration by the surgeon at the site of the incision is often all that is needed to allow the surgery to proceed.
Continuous Popliteal Block
The technique is similar to a single-injection procedure; however, slight angulation of the needle cephalad is necessary to facilitate threading the catheter. Securing and maintaining the catheter is easy and convenient. This technique can be used for surgery and postoperative pain management in patients undergoing a wide variety of lower leg, foot, and ankle surgeries.
A standard regional anesthesia tray is prepared with the following equipment:
• Sterile towels and gauze packs
• Two 20-mL syringes containing local anesthetic
• Sterile gloves, marking pen, and surface electrode
• A 3- to 5-mL syringe plus 25-gauge needle with local anesthetic for skin infiltration
• Peripheral nerve stimulator
• Catheter kit (including an 8- to 10-cm large-gauge stimulating needle and catheter).
Kits come in two varieties based on catheter construction: nonstimulating (conventional) and stimulating catheters. During the placement of a conventional nonstimulating catheter, the stimulating needle is first advanced until appropriate twitches are obtained. Then 5–10 mL of local anesthetic or other injectate (e.g., D5W) is then injected to "open up" a space for the catheter to advance freely without resistance. The catheter is then threaded through the needle until approximately 3 to 5 cm is protruding beyond the tip of the needle. The needle is then withdrawn, the catheter secured, and the remaining local anesthetic injected via the catheter. Stimulating catheters are insulated and have a filament or core that transmits current to a bare metal tip. After obtaining twitches with the needle, the catheter is advanced with the nerve stimulator connected until the sought motor response is obtained. This method requires that no conducting solution (i.e., local anesthetic, saline) be injected through the needle prior to catheter advancement, or difficulty obtaining a motor response will result.
Landmarks and Patient Positioning
The patient is positioned in the prone position with the feet extending beyond the table to facilitate monitoring of foot or toe responses to nerve stimulation.
The landmarks for a continuous popliteal block are essentially the same as those for the single-injection technique (Figure 20.1-4). These include the following:
1. Popliteal fossa crease
2. Tendon of the biceps femoris muscle (laterally)
3. Tendons of the semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles (medially)
The needle insertion site is marked 7 cm proximal to the popliteal fossa crease and between the tendons of the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles (Figure 20.1-5).
The continuous popliteal block technique is similar to the single-injection technique. With the patient in the prone position, infiltrate the skin with local anesthetic using a 25-gauge needle at an injection site 7 cm above the popliteal fossa crease and between the tendons of biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles. An 8- to 10-cm needle connected to the nerve stimulator (1.5 mA current) is inserted at the midpoint between the tendons of the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles. Advance the block needle slowly in a slightly cranial direction while observing the patient for rhythmic plantar or dorsiflexion of the foot or toes. After appropriate twitches are noted, continue manipulating the needle until the desired response is seen or felt using a current ≤0.5 mA. The catheter should be advanced no more than 5 cm beyond the needle tip (Figure 20.1-9). The needle is then withdrawn back to skin level while advancing the catheter simultaneously to prevent inadvertent removal of the catheter.
FIGURE 20.1-9. Needle direction and insertion of the catheter for continuous popliteal sciatic block. The catheter is inserted 3–5 cm beyond the needle tip.
The catheter is checked for inadvertent intravascular placement and secured using an adhesive skin preparation, followed by application of a clear dressing. The infusion port should be clearly marked "continuous nerve block."

From a New York Times story about science fiction and fantasy author Jack Vance:
When I was 14 or so, in the late '70s, I knew an Advanced Boy, a connoisseur of all that was cooler than whatever his classmates were listening to, smoking or reading. I was impressed with myself for having graduated from Tolkien to E. R. Eddison and Michael Moorcock. "Kid stuff," said the Advanced Boy. "Try this." He handed me a paperback copy of Vance's "Eyes of the Overworld." On the cover a giant lizardlike creature was tipping over a rowboat containing a man in regulation swords-and-sorcery attire and a buxom woman in regulation dishabille.
Merriam-Webster Online gives these definitions for dishabille:
- 1a. archaic : negligee
- 1b. the state of being dressed in a casual or careless style
- 2. a deliberately careless or casual manner
The American Heritage Dictionary has a slightly different take on 1b: "The state of being partially or very casually dressed."
I thought "regulation dishabille" was a clever turn of phrase. I got it right away without looking it up, having consumed plenty of sci-fi and fantasy with covers like this.
A negligee is defined as:
- 1. a woman's long flowing usually sheer dressing gown
- 2. carelessly informal or incomplete attire
Both dishabille and negligee have French origins:
- dishabille: French déshabillé, from past participle of déshabiller to undress, from dés- dis- + habiller to dress. The word dates to 1673.
- negligee: French négligé, from past participle of négliger to neglect, from Latin neglegere. It dates to 1756.

I had this visitor logged in to 2 of my sites that are not in the ODP, not anywhere I can find anyway, do you know whats up?
5/4/02, 19:55 -- 126.96.36.199 -- Robozilla/1.0 -- index.htm -- http://directory.mozilla.org
Looks like the link checking robot but to the best of my knowledge my site is not included? I do not want to post the url on here but I could provide them privately if needed. Any editors think they know whats up?

You are correct about robozilla being the automated link checker but how it found you without being listed in DMOZ is a mystery.
You could PM me the URL and I could see if your site is listed and buried somewhere without your knowledge.
Best I can offer.
May 6th, 2002, 01:27 PM #3
Just wondering if the robozilla goes throught the editor bookmarks as well.

Same thing here, 2 robot hits each on two of my sites that are not in ODP.
Maybe it's following an inbound link?

It could be going through editors bookmarks or site listings that are sitting in "unreviewed" lists.
May 7th, 2002, 10:49 AM #6
I'm not sure if Robozilla checks unreviewed links in the ODP, but it's worth searching for your domain name in any case.
Editors also have semi-private bookmarks which cannot be searched normally but can be seen in http://dmoz.org/Bookmarks/ - Robozilla does check these though, so an editor might have bookmarked your site in a part of the directory you wouldn't normally see.
Addendum - Debtcafe: taking a wild guess on your URLs I can see that they're probably listed in the "See Editor Notes" category which is also semi-hidden. If these are multiple submissions they may be listed here for special treatment when submitted, especially if they're URLs you've submitted many, many times.

On balance, the Budget should have a positive impact on the building and construction industry, but not without pain.
Overall, the Government's roadmap to structural budget repair and a return to surplus should be a positive for business, home-buyer and investor confidence, despite the temporary Deficit Levy.
The building and construction industry particularly welcomes the Government's $50 billion infrastructure package.
But roads are not everything and the Government will need to focus on broadening infrastructure investment to include urban investment in the post-Budget period.
Master Builders welcomes the cut in company tax while recognising that many small building firms are not incorporated.
In contrast, Master Builders is deeply concerned about the negative impact of several initiatives on the building and construction industry.
The cessation of funding for the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) makes it doubly important for the Government to find more effective methods of tackling the lack of housing supply and providing more affordable social housing.
The cessation of funding for the Tools For Your Trade program is disappointing but is offset by the Trade Support Loans for apprentices.
The phasing out of skills programs such as the Apprenticeship Mentoring Program and the National Workforce Development Fund is another disappointment which will place pressure on the Government to implement a viable apprenticeship reform program to guarantee a skilled workforce for the future.
The imposition of the fuel levy will hit tradies particularly hard because of the amount of travel they undertake. Their increased transport costs will be passed on to the consumer.
As the Treasurer has acknowledged, this Budget is "just the start" and Master Builders is looking to the Government for more detail of its National Economic Strategy in coming weeks.
Most of what the budget delivered was good. A pathway back to balance was good and the new roads spending will be worthwhile as long as we can afford it.
But the idea of denying under 30 year olds dole payments for six months seems ludicrous. If they have literally no money coming in, how are they supposed to pay for things like networking to find employment, buying decent clothes to attend interviews and putting petrol in cars (or having cars running) to get to interviews, let alone putting a roof over their head or eating? We should be setting people up for success, not failure.
The construction industry is increasingly falling off the agenda for both sides of politics. The COAG statement in December signaled a return to the federated, fragmented nature of construction policy and representation in Australia. Governments seems to misunderstand that construction is now a global game and it needs a national response. Lifting productivity requires the unions to be put back in their place, but it requires more than the continuation of EBAs with no demonstrable management response to driving construction costs down by >20%. That risks seeing the massive spend on infrastructure that the budget initiates failing the value for money test and risks building in debt and user costs that burden Australians for decades to come.

Band : Rob Crooks
Title : Downtown '09
Release Date : Dec 11, 2014
Catalog ref. : MOD041
Format : Digital Download
City Sounds featuring Pip Skid by Rob Crooks
Friday Night Girls #12 & 35 by Rob Crooks
Devil In Her Eyes by Rob Crooks
Stab Somebody by Rob Crooks
A Toast featuring John Smith by Rob Crooks
Monday Morning by Rob Crooks
Written and Produced by Rob Crooks
Mixed and Mastered by Speed Dial 7 / Tom De Geeter
Coverart by Pip Skid / Patrick Skene
Winnipeg is a cold and isolated city, dirty and dilapidated. It is a city divided between the South and the North, by race and by class. It is surrounded, like most cities in the Western World, by cookie-cutter suburban homes, box stores and fast food chains. But in the gut of the city, in downtown Winnipeg, the very real divisions that make up its essence intersect in an anarchic clash of hedonism and despair.
It is this image of Winnipeg that serves as the backdrop for Rob Crooks' new EP Downtown '09. The iconic punk clubs and temporary speak-easies, the dive bars and late-night beer vendors, the dark alleys where drugs are bought, sold and consumed all make up the setting for Crooks' story telling. The loosely connected coming-of-age narrative stitched together in these six songs guides the listener through the progressive stages of young adulthood, all in the span of a single weekend. From the earliest encounter with "City Sounds," and the immature and not-so-innocent trysts with "Friday Night Girls," to the moral hangover of "Monday Morning," Downtown '09 is an often dark depiction of dysfunctional scenesters in a dysfunctional city.
Sonically, Downtown '09 matches Crooks' raw and rapid vocal delivery with the gritty punk aesthetic predominant in Winnipeg's counter-cultures. The upbeat tempos and catchy hooks give the EP the feel of an illegal dance party, in an abandoned warehouse, ready to be shut down by the police at any moment. Guest appearances by Winnipeg hip-hop legends Pip Skid and John Smith help to round out this short, but detailed vision of the dark side of Winnipeg's edgy and unpredictable nightlife. So why not spend the weekend in downtown Winnipeg, with Rob Crooks as your guide?

Bigelow Laboratory opens new algae research center
September 24, 2013
he world-renowned Provasoli-Guillard National Center for Marine Algae and Microbiota (NCMA) – part of Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences – has expanded into the new, high-tech Norton Center for Blue Biotechnology (NCBB) on the Laboratory's Ocean Science and Education Campus in East Boothbay, Maine.
The first science wing to be completed on the new campus, the NCBB provides facilities for research that applies molecular biology and microbial ecology to the viruses, bacteria, archaea, and algae living in diverse environments throughout the world's oceans – in order to understand their evolution, genetic and chemical make-up, and their culture and industrial application. NCBB scientists work with the vast reservoir of microbial organisms in the natural environment and those preserved in cultures.
The NCBB houses the Single Cell Genomics Center, the world's first microbial single cell genomics facility; the Provasoli-Guillard National Center for Marine Algae and Microbiota, containing one the world's first combined collections of marine algae, bacteria, archaea, and viruses; the J. J. MacIsaac Facility for Aquatic Cytometry, a state-of-the-art flow cytometry laboratory; a bioreactor facility; and the Geomicrobiology Laboratory.
With 2,739 individual strains in 39 taxonomic classes that represent all the major photosynthetic groups, the NCMA maintains the largest and most diverse repository of living marine microalgae in the world. The NCMA is the leading global distributor of marine microalgae for scientific and industrial research, having sold its cultures to more than 3,000 customers in 57 countries over its 30-year history in the business.
"These are the same strains that started as an ad hoc collection over 40 years ago," said Dr. Willie Wilson, Director of NCMA. "This was essentially a seed stock of highly nutritious algae for the aquaculture industry."
Over the years, the NCMA has evolved to become a one-stop service facility for researchers and industries working with marine and freshwater algae, bacteria, archaea, and viruses. Services range from private collections and patent deposits to consulting and professional education courses, and includes NCMA's large collection of high lipid algae strains specifically isolated for use in aquaculture and now used extensively in biofuels research, as well as a new, customer-oriented website.
Construction of the Norton Center for Blue Biotechnology was made possible by the Maine Technology Asset Fund and the people of Maine who voted to pass the Research and Development Bond in 2007, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Maine Technology Institute, and individual supporters.

The fieldbus application layer (FAL) provides user programs with a means to access the fieldbus communication environment. In this respect, the FAL can be viewed as a ?window between corresponding application programs.? This International Standard provides common elements for basic time-critical and non-timecritical messaging communications between application programs in an automation environment and material specific to Type 20 fieldbus. The term ?time-critical? is used to represent the presence of a time-window, within which one or more specified actions are required to be completed with some defined level of certainty. Failure to complete specified actions within the time window risks failure of the applications requesting the actions, with attendant risk to equipment, plant and possibly human life. This International Standard defines in an abstract way the externally visible service provided by the Type 20 fieldbus Application Layer in terms of a) an abstract model for defining application resources (objects) capable of being manipulated by users via the use of the FAL service, b) the primitive actions and events of the service; c) the parameters associated with each primitive action and event, and the form which they take; and d) the interrelationship between these actions and events, and their valid sequences. The purpose of this International Standard is to define the services provided to the FAL user at the boundary between the user and the Application Layer of the Fieldbus Reference Model. This International Standard specifies the structure and services of the IEC fieldbus Application Layer, in conformance with the OSI Basic Reference Model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) and the OSI Application Layer Structure (ISO/IEC 9545). Although these services specify, from the perspective of applications, how request and responses are issued and delivered, they do not include a specification of what the requesting and responding applications are to do with them. That is, the behavioral aspects of the applications are not specified; only a definition of what requests and responses they can send/receive is specified. This permits greater flexibility to the FAL users in standardizing such object behavior. In addition to these services, some supporting services are also defined in this International Standard to provide access to the FAL to control certain aspects of its operation.

Who doesn't love the beautiful women of Tecmo's Dead or Alive games? I guess zombies don't but us living breathing gamer dudes do. Now you can love all over Kasumi in 3D thanks to the talented artists at Kotobukiya.
Bioshock 2's Big Sister might be a hotty
If your ideal woman is strong, nimble, doesn't talk much, and is able to withstand the crushing depths of the oceanic abyss than I have just the chick for you. Bioshock 2's Big Sister! Just make sure you stock up on plasmids before you go on your first date… and by "plasmids" I mean "condoms"…… and by "condoms" I mean "don't fucking do it man!"
New Heavy Rain video features nudity and peeing
For some reason I can't stop calling Heavy Rain "Chubby Rain" instead. It's become so bad that I have to actually think to call it by the correct name. Well it seems my little joke actually has some merit as this video proves.
New Dead or Alive Paradise screen shots to ogle
I can't wait for the summer. It's when all the lovely ladies go to the beach wearing their tiny swimming suits and play volleyball in the sand. Of course I will be at home playing Dead or Alive Paradise on the PSP and taking "creepy" pictures with the camera mode. The real world is for chumps!
This is the first installment of NSFW Catfight! where you decide the victor based on who you think is hotter. For our first round, and since I am getting excited about the Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition, we have Sheva Alomar VS Jill Valentine. Fight!

"GOP Insider: How Religion Destroyed My Party" The Party Is Over,By Mike Lofgren
GOP Insider: How Religion Destroyed My Party
The Party Is Over, By Mike Lofgren
The religious rights professed insistence upon family values might appear at first blush to be at odds with the anything but saintly personal behavior of many of its leading proponents. Some of this may be due to the general inability of human beings to reflect on conflicting information: I have never ceased to be amazed at how facts manage to bounce off peoples consciousness like pebbles off armor plate. But there is another, uniquely religious aspect that also comes into play: the predilection of fundamentalist denominations to believe in practice, even if not entirely in theory, in the doctrine of cheap grace, a derisive term coined by the theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer. By that he meant the inclination of some religious adherents to believe that once they had been saved, not only would all past sins be wiped away, but future ones, tooso one could pretty much behave as before. Cheap grace is a divine get- out-of-jail-free card. Hence the tendency of the religious base of the Republican Party to cut some slack for the peccadilloes of candidates who claim to have been washed in the blood of the Lamb and reborn to a new and more Christian life. The religious right is willing to overlook a politicians individual foibles, no matter how poor an example he or she may make, if they publicly identify with fundamentalist values. In 2011 the Family Research Council, the fundamentalist lobbying organization, gave Representative Joe Walsh of Illinois an award for unwavering support of the family. Representative Walshs ex-wife might beg to differ, as she claims he owes her over one hundred thousand dollars in unpaid child support, a charge he denies.
Of course, the proper rituals must be observed before an erring politician can obtain absolution. In November 2011, at a forum sponsored by religious conservatives in Iowa, all of the GOP presidential candidates struck the expected notes of contrition and humility as they laid bare their souls before the assembled congregation (the event was held in a church). Most of them, including Cain, who was then still riding high, choked up when discussing some bleak midnight of their lives (he chose not to address the fresh sexual harassment charges against him, which surely would have qualified as a trying personal experience preying on his mind). Even the old reprobate Gingrich misted up over some contrived misdeed intended to distract attention from his well-known adventures in serial matrimony

Energy conservation initiatives have received widespread attention in the logistics and distribution world these days. Most of us have had to learn to do more with less as we've felt the effects of the global recession, and many of us have sought ways to reduce our energy consumption as part of our effort to drive down operating expenses. Many of our customers today take into consideration the sustainability and overall carbon footprint of the equipment they purchase for their facilities. That said, it's our responsibility to assist them in selecting the most energy efficient, reliable and cost-effective products for their operations.
With so many avenues to improve the energy efficiency of your operations, where do you start? Many DCs can slash their energy bills by simply adjusting their operations to use energy more efficiently. Adjusting energy usage outside of peak hours may provide for a considerable savings through local utility providers. Other options may require an investment in energy-saving equipment or technology, but are likely to pay for themselves time over in the years to come.
A great place to get started on is the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a non-profit organization that promotes sustainable building practices. Known for their LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, the council offers a certification program for existing buildings. Kendall Jackson, a winery located in Santa Rosa, CA, recently constructed a LEED certified distribution center and is expected to cut down on their building energy consumption costs by 61 percent as compared to a baseline used by the USGBC. (1)
If the time, cost, and effort in pursuing a LEED certification prevent your company from taking the next step, you may find the program's rating system and checklists as reference guides to help implement improvements in your operations at http://www.usgbc.org/. The website offers operations and maintenance projects checklist that covers everything from water efficiency to energy and atmosphere to indoor environmental quality to innovations in operations. (1)
A range of newer technologies can be implemented to reduce your energy costs. New T-5 and T-8 ballasts can offer a longer life than older lamps and can be wired with motion sensors to turn on only when operators are present. A host of local, State, and Federal programs offer incentives to implement these systems. Conveyor systems can be designed to turn off and operate in "sleep mode" when not in use. This not only serves to provide an energy savings, but also reduce the required system maintenance by extending the life of drives, motors, and bearings while increasing the versatility and flexibility of use through intelligent, modular design. Energy efficient 24 volt DC systems have been designed that can provide up to 125,000 hours of life expectancy, up to 10 years of use in 24/7 operations. (2)

Ferrari has recently pulled the wraps off its latest creation, the brand new 458 Challenge Evoluzione, which has received some interesting updates.
After it was teased just a few days ago, the brand new Ferrari 458 Challenge Evoluzione is being placed into the spotlights once more, this time with the Italian based automaker officially pulling the wraps off its body. The Ferrari 458 Challenge Evoluzione is basically an upgraded version of the 458 Challenge and it's benefiting from the GT racing experience, on the aerodynamic part, as the company is saying in its official press release.
The new Ferrari 458 Challenge has received a new front splitter, a rear wing which is generating additional downforce, some improved underbody aerodynamics, an electronic differential, a race tuned suspension system and some weight saving components. Sadly the Maranello based automaker didn't release any performance details on the brand new Ferrari 458 Challenge Evoluzione so our guess is that the model in question might get the 4.5 liter V8 under its hood, which is producing a total output of 570 HP (419 kW) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft). The Ferrari 458 Challenge Evoluzione will go on sale soon and it will be able to compete in the 20104 Ferrari Challenge.

Chapter 2 (v.1) - The New Recruit
Chapter One
"Hi, I am Eu, and I was told my codename was MrEu10. Who are you?" MrEu looked around as he sat on his butt, looking around Souls' territory.
"I... my friend... am REINA! I am the deputy of Souls, and you have no right to... oh who am I kidding, The Boss makes EVERYONE spawn here, but you better scram. Take this control watch, too. Everyone who joins gets it. Now... SCRAM!" Reina smacked Eu's butt, and he ran away. A boy sitting on The Boss' statue looked saddened. He was looking at Eu, knowing that he had some good in him.
"Ow!" MrEu felt someone bump into him.
"Hi. I'm Tom! We need to hide, quick! The drones are coming, and The Boss is WITH THEM!" Tom grabbed Eu's hand, and he ran into a home.
"What are drones? Who is this "Boss" you speak of?" Eu looked confused.
"Well... we need to just... I need you to help me. We need to run away from these drones before they catch us. We need to whisper." Tom looked around. "The Boss will come. We need to build a tunnel to the beach before the drones get us."
"Okay... but it seems as you are levitating..." Eu looked at Tom.
"I don't care how much this will help us, but I think of this armour as a disgrace. I will explain EVERYTHING to you when we get to somewhere safe. Now, stay behind me. The drones are about thirty minutes away, so we gotta run." Tom looked around.
"Ah!" MrEu fell as Tom digged.
"You fell in a mine! At this time?! Okay, I will get some wood... and... a few sticks will do the trick... BAM! Okay, so I will just throw you down a few blocks, and you build up!" Tom smiled.
"Core Activated. Found betrayer: Tom." a drone was behind Tom.
"Get the hell away from me, drone!" Tom punched the drone with his drone fist. It smashed back, and Tom looked impressed.
"Okay... I'll use this suit for good. It can do some good stuff. It may last us well!" Tom laughed.
"Wooh! I am finally up! Now, let's keep digging. I hear more drones." MrEu dug, being cautious about where he stepped.
"Maybe I can tell you what happened, now." Tom said as MrEu kept digging. "It'll be a few thousand blocks before we finally get to shore. From there, we will find your home."
"So, what the hell happened. I mean... what are all these drones up to?" MrEu asked.
"Well... we can't say The Boss' name, but The Boss was once someone like you... like me... like his mean deputy who almost killed me, Reina." Tom rolled his eyes at the thought of Reina.
"Oh, I met that girl! She... slapped my butt." MrEu sighed.
"She must REALLY like you then..." Tom sounded sarcastic.
"Were you trying to be sarcastic there?" MrEu laughed.
"I sounded like it, but I wasn't being sarcastic." Tom snorted. "Reina was nice to you in her way."
"So, continue about how the drones were created." MrEu said.
"Many, many years ago, The Boss came here... like us! He suddenly became very upset because of something unknown that happened. Then, Reina came, and kept His Royal Highness happy somehow. He hated the world because people like us made factions that could have the slightest chance to overpower his faction, so when he created drones to kill people or steal people to be turned into a drone. I used to be part of Infernus' faction, which was destroyed mostly by Souls. Only few members remain. I was turned into a drone, but I wasn't possessed. I made it seem like I was. That is how I am still one of you." Tom explained.
"Okay... well... now I see. I wonder what Reina ever had to do with this." MrEu said.
" Wait, I hear drones..." Tom was quiet. "Look!" Drones filled the space that MrEu and Tom were in.
"Oh... well..." Tom smirks. "Hiyah!" Tom threw a powerball at a group of drones.
"Help me, Tom!" Eu fell on the ground.
"Run for 1 minute! I'll be with you there!" Tom yelled. MrEu ran down the tunnel that was emptied for some reason.
"Whew, I finished 'em off!" Tom ran over to Eu. Eu was scarred terribly.
"Ahh!" Eu felt in pain. Then, Tom healed him with some patch kit.
"It's okay. I always bring healing patches when I go somewhere now." Tom smiled.
It was almost night, and Eu and Tom finally made it to shore. Then, they heard something.
"Infernus! I SEE DAYLIGHT!" someone screamed in the tunnel below.
"Oh, hello there! I'm... Infernus, and this is my clan." Infernus looked at Tom and Eu. "We best get a move on at the moment, but we should make an alliance when it becomes safer to combine. See you!" Infernus ran with his clan.
"They look like angry wild animals. They must've been in the dark for a long time." someone walked behind Eu and Tom.
"Who... are you?" Tom looked at someone.
"I... was the head commander of the drones, but I dropped my reputation there. They are pure evil." the person said.
"What... is your name?" Tom asked.
"Charbthabowz at your service, Tom and MrEu."
"Why would you ever betray me..." Eu lay on the ground.
"I don't know why someone would leave who cared, but I guess it was for his best. He may never be seen again, but we know that he'll be safe. He'll go back to Souls and give up his life." Charb sighed.

This is a fantastic novel! I keep reading for the worldbuilding. The concepts are just so fresh compared to the other xianxia novels I've read! Or they at least put a new spin on things. Like (I don't think these count as spoilers? But just to be safe) ... more>>
It may look like the typical reincarnation-revenge story at first, but things start picking up after Chapter 9. The interaction between the MC and one of the characters is cute, and the girl's actions in the succeeding chapters are bold and a bit different from what the usual MCs in this genre do. So far, it focuses more on martial arts than all the cefei, yatou, wangfu controversial stuff in most historical romance novels. I found it to be a mix of several tropes (romance, transmigration, revenge, powerful mentor you... more>>
An odd but fun mix of fantasy, sci-fi, heart-warming moments, big reveals, and a fitting end. It has surprising plot depth for a oneshot... Great read!

Today I write with great news. You might wonder what the occasion is. According to the National Citizen Service report 'Evolution of the Teenager' – a colourful and lengthy document resembling something of a sociology textbook – today's teenagers are the most ambitious in a century.
Because there were so many figures to choose from in said report, you may already have read about this in a different guise, for example, on the women's pages. But the statistic most interesting to my mind was about ambition.
Ambition is right up there as one of my most used words. I am unbearably, sickeningly ambitious to the point that, this week, one of my mentors told me to calm down.
A couple of weeks ago, I asked Matthew Hancock, the Skills Minister, whether there is a "poverty of ambition" in this country.
"No," he said, reading commendably from the autocue that I imagine is etched onto his frontal lobe. "As a rule, young people are very excited about what they can do with their lives, but the system has had ambitions that have been far too low."
I think he's right, but I have a theory about the findings of this report; the reason that my – our – generation are so ambitious is simply about contrariness.
This might just be me, but my name ought to have been Mary, for I am the most contrary person I know. If someone tells me I can't do something, I just want it more – naturally. And happily that has applied quite well to my working life.
I believe it is a condition of youth; part of this is manifested in the attempted bettering of oneself, of being brilliant and of doing great things.
Perhaps I'm giving my peers too much credit, but it's no real surprise that my generation is the most ambitious in a century, because we are constantly told that life is going to be rubbish.
Apparently, we'll never own a house – if we manage to move out of home at all – shock! – and we won't retire until we're eighty. The oil will run out and there will be an ice age. Great.
But because there's nothing we can actually do about any of this, except laugh and think that the situation can only get better – not worse – we react contrariwise.
As my graduation date creeps closer, I am surveying my friends with great interest. They are all, almost without exception, going on to do great things. They are studying for postgraduate degrees, and starting jobs. One is writing a book this summer, and another her doctoral thesis proposal.
My best friend from school got a first in her degree, and another just started working at an investment bank.
I take offence at the claim that my generation are "exam-passing, money-sniffing robots who'll single-mindedly step over their baby-boomer grandmothers".
Apparently my generation are "dead scared of having no financial security". Is that really a surprise? The 'elders' have made it so, and going after what you want – in an intensely competitive world – is nothing to be ashamed of.
We are ambitious, not just because we are young, but because it's the only sustainable way of functioning as educated adults in 2014.
I usually condemn those in positions of power for letting my generation down, but their loss is our gain. Their failure to get a grip on 'the youth' is a catalyst for our enhanced brilliance. The more one is told something is impossible, the more possible it suddenly seems, and this is the positive takeaway.
Now, if we could just adjust our contrary behaviour to voting in the elections next year, that would be great. Use that ambition for good, kids. Show the world what it's missing.
