The Air Force Band was formed in 2008 following the amalgamation of the RAAF Central Band and the Air Command Band.
With a heritage that goes back to the earliest days of the Air Force, the Band continues to provide the finest standard of musical entertainment and ceremonial support that has made it famous for over 85 years.
The Air Force Band is currently conducted by:
Commanding Officer / Music Director: SQNLDR Mathew Shelley
On 16 March 1916, Number One Squadron of the Australian Flying Corps (AFC) sailed from Port Melbourne onboard the Liner Orsova, arriving in Egypt in April of that year. The contingent included musically talented airmen who went to war with their instruments. In the Egyptian desert, a concert party and camp orchestra were formed for the Squadron's entertainment.
Similar entertainment troupes were formed at various AFC bases during the war. Particularly famous in England during 1918 and 1919 were The Flying Kangaroos and The Gee Whizzers from the AFC training bases at Leighterton and Minchinhampton.
Soon after the creation of an independent Royal Australian Air Force, a part-time RAAF Band was formed in February 1923 at the Air Force's birth place, Point Cook. Significant amongst its early activities was its role as official band for all ceremonies and grand public military review for the opening of Parliament House in Canberra in 1927. The band moved to Laverton during World War Two.
In 1932, a part-time brass band was established at RAAF Base Richmond. It was appropriately known as the RAAF Richmond Band.
The two RAAF Bases, Laverton and Richmond, continued to be home to part-time brass bands until full-time military bands, including woodwind instruments, were formed in the two locations. The RAAF Central Band was formed in 1952 at Laverton and the Air Command Band (originally known as the RAAF Number One Regional Band) was formed at Richmond in 1969, both bands enjoying reputations for musical excellence. The two bands were amalgamated into one band in 2008, their proud histories providing a strong foundation for today's Air Force Band.
Air Force Band highlights include ceremonial support for the presentation of the original Queen's Colour for the RAAF in 1952; support for much of the 1954 Royal Tour; duty as the official band for the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne; ceremonial support and morale boosting concerts in 1969 for Australian troops deployed to Vietnam and Malaysia; award of a Gold Record in 1975 for Thirty Smash Hits of the War Years; concerts in support of the 2000 Sydney Olympics; numerous international tattoos and tournaments, and the ANZAC Day commemorations around Australia, in Europe and on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey.
In recent years Air Force musicians have regularly deployed to the Australian Defence Force's areas of operation, performing music in support of Australian and multi-national forces, East Timor, The Solomon Islands, Iraq and Afghanistan.
2012 marks sixty years since the establishment of a full-time, professional music mustering in the Air Force, and a new direction in Air Force music excellence under the command of Squadron Leader Mathew Shelley.

Personal Autonomy, the Private Sphere and Criminal Law
Edited by: Peter Alldridge
Containing original essays by a distinguished group of jurists from six different European countries, this book confronts the increasing range of legal and philosophical issues arising from the relationship between privacy and the criminal law. The collection is particularly timely in light of the incorporation into English law of the European Convention on Human Rights. It compares legal cultures and underlying assumptions with regard to the private sphere, personal autonomy and the supposed justifications for State interference through criminalization and the implementation of substantive criminal law. The book moves from treatment of general ideas like the relationship between sovereignty, the nation-state and substantive criminal law in the new European context, (with its concomitant aspiration towards the establishment of transnational morality) to more detailed consideration of specific areas of substantive law and procedure, viewed from a range of perspectives. Areas considered include euthanasia, surrogacy, female genital mutilation and sado-masochism.

This is where I will post questions that I couldn't find answers to via Google. I just downloaded Chrome. I understand I have to go to the software center and then download it, but I cannot find the software center! When I download a file in Ubuntu, where does it go? Thanks! Jim

I am a graduate of Pratt Institute in NYC and have been a commercial artist for 38 years specializing in airbrushed murals, illustrations, and portraits. I have had many clients, private individuals as well as major corporations such as Disney, Universal Studio Tours, Dell Publishing, Atari, and Silicon Graphics. I have also been commissioned to paint public art murals in Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Chico, Paradise, Watsonville, Gilroy, Santa Cruz, and Palo Alto. I currently live in Murphys, California, with my dog Domino.
I love painting and drawing and feel that my art is my politics, my religion, and my way to serve. Even after all of these years, I am amazed at the miracle of creating work that positively affects people's lives and the way they think and feel. Being able to put beauty out into this crazy world is a powerful act and I feel blessed to be able to do it. Even though I work on my own projects that tickle my fancy and are not subject to anyone else's criticism, when I do work on a commission, my creative process involves a lot of opportunities for the client to add their input so that the final piece of art is to their liking and is not an unfortunate surprise. I'm a real people person and my career puts me in touch with a wide variety of humanity, which I feel is a great fringe benefit. I'm always excited with each new commission and my next piece is my best piece.
I am located in Murphys, CA.

Antharion - Back on Kickstarter
Antharion is back on Kickstarter again. After the first try where they came $1,190 short in order to reach their goal of $15,000 they are now asking for $10,000 and have currently already collected 20% of that amount.
Now that they reduced the head size and I can identify myself with the gameworld I also backed the project with 20$. Glad that they did this step.
How to win at Kickstarter:
1. Reduce head size
2. Receive money.
A shrink will shrunk your head for $100 an hour :)
Wait which head we talking about? Giggity
They are almost half-way right now to their current goal so I think they will surpass their original goal also.
Very happy about this.
Old school, indeed.
The Pig transmutation spell reminds me of the 80's flick Willow…
Queen Bavmorda: "You're not warriors. You're pigs PIGS! YOU'RE ALL PIGS! PIGS!"
Pledged, I'm a sucker for beholders. Hope the camera doesn't jump around in the finished product like it does in the video.
Looks better. Still a bit cartoonish for my taste, but better.
$7500! Keep it coming.
I think they should change necrophil to necromancer. Necrophil is just.. well, disgusting, much too similar to necrophile and i doubt that's really the role of this class.
nice to see it up again.. too bad they're not over 9000 yet so i could post some "it's over 9000!!!!!" meme ;)
Necrophil? Yeah thats nasty!
Now that they have posted character creation, I'd really like to see NPC dialogs in action, quest assignments, journals, map system, level up etc. I think that would make a fantastic update (assuming that has all been coded up).
Hey guys, thanks for all of your support! We posted a video update detailing character creation for those of you interested.
Looks good!
I aksed about magic weapons as being a stretch goal…since they have come back no mention of crafting.
The Watch should get an interview with these guys.
We're always happy to do interviews :)
I'd be happy with enchantment slots on armor and weapons. The Devine Divinity and Geneforge/Avadon series take that approach. Simple, fun and effective. All you need are the FX for the bonus weapon damage ;)

I am Henrietta Okoro, a Catholic nun (Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus) from Nigeria, Africa. I was sent to the United States of America on mission and to better my education.
Africa is classified as a third world Continent where poverty and lack of medical care is one of the leading causes of death of the people. Secondly, the epidemic of HIV/AIDS has claimed lots and lots of life due to lack of medical care and money. My goal of coming to the nursing program - becoming a nurse, is to be well-informed and to help the less privileged of the society, by providing them with good healthcare and to help in enlightening them as much as I am able to.
As a nun from a poor nation, money is a big handicap for me to attend my academic goals since I need money to pay my fees, buy my books, as well as take care of my medical, feeding, housing, and other pertinent bills. To realize my dream, I am applying for scholarship assistance which will go a long way to ease my financial burden; as a result, enable me to help the less fortunate of the society.
My vision after graduation is to return home, and with the help of some privileged people in my society and also with the help of some foreign charitable organizations, I will establish a not-for-profit clinic/centre where HIV/AIDS victims will receive free medical care, as well as create awareness about this dreaded disease HIV/AIDS. This, I believe, will help to reduce the mental and physical agony or trauma that this illness brings to many people.
I humbly solicit for your assistance and support to enable me achieve my academic goals and desire.
Sincerely yours in Christ Jesus,
Sister Henrietta Okoro HHCJ

Check sites such as TrueCar, Edmunds and Kelley Blue Book to learn what makes and models have remaining incentives. If an automaker is looking to clear out 2011 models in preparation for 2012s, there very well could be an incentive to get consumers interested. According to TrueCar, the top 2011 makes with the greatest discounts in May are Chevrolet, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, GMC and Suzuki.
Sure, what's being offered probably will be a lot less than it was just one or two months ago, but if you need to buy now, you may as well get the best deal you can.Buy what's not hot
This seems like it's counter-intuitive, to be sure. After all, you're looking to buy a car you want and, seemingly, other people want as well. It could be the kind of vehicle you typically buy or one that you've had your eye on. But now may not be the time to go to all that expense – particularly if there aren't any deals, the prices have increased, and the supply is short. Sort of the triple whammy, but this makes checking out less-than-flying-off-the-lot choices more attractive.
Go bigger
Recent high gas prices caused a surge in consumers purchasing more fuel-efficient gasoline-powered cars, clean-diesel cars and hybrids. This may go against the grain to suggest, but you might want to get into a larger vehicle than you currently own. Maybe a GMC Yukon full-size SUV or Chevrolet Impala large sedan, even a Ford F-150 pickup truck, is a better deal than a compact or mid-size vehicle.
Yes, you'll shell out a bit more for gas, but with the gap between prices shrinking you may wind up having about the same overall outlay.Know any little old lady?
How well you know your neighbors might come in handy here. Maybe they're selling a car for an older relative. Maybe it's a two-car family and only one drives now, or they don't want the expense and upkeep of a second car they rarely use. Although the car may be (and probably is) an older model, as long as you have it thoroughly checked out by a professional mechanic, it could be a deal.
Again, this isn't an optimum solution, but it could be considered a temporary one – at least until the market for new cars (or the used one you really want) improves.

February 26 2014
Manjung, Perak, May 22nd, 2013 – Naza Tutti Frutti (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd today donated a new Kia Pregio van to the Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti Asy Syamsu for physically challenged children.
Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti Asy Syamsu is an institution involved in looking after 48 physically challenged children and providing each child with an education as well as thorough care, treatment and motivation to prepare them for society.
"We are delighted to be able to provide Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti Asy Syamsu with this contribution. We believe it is imperative for corporations to do their part in giving back to society and hope the brand-new 12-seater van will provide the home with much needed transport assistance," said Encik Izham Hakimi Hamdi, Managing Director of Naza Tutti Frutti.
A total of 15 children from the centre were treated to lunch and frozen yogurt at Tutti Frutti's latest outlet in Manjung.
The new outlet, located in AEON, is part of a rapid expansion exercise by NazaTuttiFrutti.
"This year, our focus is to reach out to customers in rural areas as we believe there is a strong market there. As such, we have opened outlets in Bahau, Tanjung Malim, Temerloh, Sungai Besar, Parit Buntar and Kangar. We look forward to bringing a healthy, quality-driven product enhanced by a fun environment to our customers throughout Malaysia."
In October 2009, two months after being appointed the master license holder for the brand, Naza Tutti Frutti started out with only one Tutti Frutti outlet in Malaysia. Today, Naza Tutti Frutti has reached a milestone of eight overseas outlets and 125 outlets nationwide, including recently launched outlets in Kuching and Miri. NazaTuttiFrutti is currently the market leader for Frozen Yogurt and intends to stand strong through a philosophy grounded in product quality and service.

I went to Lina Smith's Olive Oil Tasting at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education yesterday (part of a benefit).
I thought it was fun and interesting and learned a lot. She is trained as an olive oil taster/contest judge.
She does them a couple times a year, at CCAE and other places around town.
There's also an olive oil tasting club she coordinates--anyone know about this or been a member?

The East Coast Trail Guide is a digital trail guide and photo book filled with information about Newfoundland's amazing East Coast Trail, including North Head Trail and other coastal trails along the Grand Concourse.
A free sample of Newfoundland's #1 hiking guide is available on iBooks.
Please don't confuse the East Coast Trail Guide with the basic maps and trail descriptions that have always been available on this blog; those will remain available right here:
Basic map:
Trail description:
North Head Trail is in St. John's.
Check the map for the following details:
- The loop is ~4 km in length.
- There is no 'one' trailhead, suitable places to start are found all along the trail, the most obvious ones being on top of Signal Hill and near the Signal Hill Visitor Centre.
North Head Trail is not a part of the East Coast Trail, instead it's a Grand Concourse trail. I've included it here because it runs along the ocean and it's a perfect fit between Sugarloaf Path and Deadmans Bay Path, and it's also quite beautiful.
The main difference between this trail and any path along the East Coast Trail is the vast number of people you'll encounter. North Head Trail is very popular with St. John's locals, they work out on this trail, running it up and down, over and over.
There are plenty of elevation changes spanning this relatively short trail, so there's quite a bit of stair climbing involved. In one dodgy spot a chain has been mounted to the cliffside, providing something to hold on to as you carefully manoeuvre your way to the other side.
Scenic spots on North Head Trail:
- Signal Hill, which is basically the centre of the entire loop, you'll have great views of it and from it. Signal Hill really is a must-see location for every visitor to St. John's.
- The Narrows, which is the narrow channel connecting St. John's harbour to the Atlantic Ocean. North Head Trail actually goes through the Narrows and therefore it offers some great views of it.
- The Outer Battery, famously colourful houses hugging the inside of the Narrows.
Berry picking:
Berries you can find on North Head Trail include chokeberries, blueberries and partridgeberries, but keep in mind that a lot of people walk their dogs on this trail.

Water Corp uses trenchless to reline pipes
Water Corporation will use Trenchless Technology to refurbish wastewater pipes in two Perth suburbs.
The AU$2.6 million project, in Maylands and Bayswater, is part of an ongoing program to reline and refurbish wastewater pipes throughout Western Australia.
Water Corporation said it will use trenchless methods to reline the pipes where possible, which avoids the need for excavation to access the pipes, limiting social disruptions, and extending the useful life of the pipes by at least 50 years.
Water Corporation General Manager Assets Delivery Mark Leathersich said "Around 2.3 km of wastewater pipe along Neville, Leake and King William streets in Bayswater, and Woodhouse Rd in Maylands will be refurbished over the next three months.
"Residents may notice an increase in activity along the pipeline route, however traffic management will be in place at all times and disruption will be kept to a minimum."
Water Corporation said it planned to consult with residents and provide regular updates before work begins.
For more information visit the Water Corporation website.

Why is the parish magazine of our community called "Salt of the Earth"?
answer is found in Scripture and more specifically in the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 5, Verse 13: "You are the salt of the earth, if the salt is broken, with what will seasoned? It's nothing better than to be thrown out and trampled 'standing people ", and the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 9, Verses 49-50:" For every (man) will be salted with fire, as every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt loses its power, what you will mend? Have salt in yourselves and live in peace with each other. "
We notice
-allegorical, spiritual wealth and charge that carries the phrase "salt of the earth 'and we all love with those who were baptized in the name of the Trinity we are called to pastoral work to work together and live our life in Christ. "Salt", if we try to decode a symbolic perspective is nothing but the Holy Spirit that we received each of us through Holy Baptism. What breaks if we do not work and sanctifying power remains somewhat hidden if not in the communion of the Church through baptism and communion in the sacraments of repentance.
And the last one year … ! The time is ripe for the prophets proclaimed, israelitenii escaped from slavery, passed the Red Sea and went to the promised land, to Canaan … And we are Romanians, we had our slavery but faith and love nădeidea not get lost. The soul of our people live the dream and we also have our scholars and prophets who lead us toward "the full Canaan milk and honey".
Today, however, after I got rid of slavery if we are not those of yesterday. We've changed, and we broke … Our prophets and the voice is not listened to yesterday's love and devotion, as well as any of them left some did not listen with love and devotion is yesterday, as well as any of them have left some in the prophets yesterday. The winds and storms full of poison … We were poisoned faith and love we lost we were filled with poison the souls of sin. We see this poison, we feel on every road and meet with her. It is one that has emptied churches sufietele people of faith. What will be with us … The answer is easy: Israelites have pointed the way to Canaan pillar of fire and light cloud. Only they will show us the new track for us as we pick up and lost son of the gospel and go back to Heavenly Father's House. If we obey His commandments, then darkness will rise before us trouble and we see "the true light."

Scarlet Fever MemorialPrint Page
Thomas Jillett`s crypt in the Oatlands Cemetery was built as a monument to his 3 young children who all died within 3 weeks of each other in February 1859, of scarlet fever. The dedication of the crypt was undertaken in April 2012, when a plaque was added commemorating the 6937 children under the aged of 10 who died between 1850 to 1860.
There are two Jillett Family crypts in the St Peter's Anglican Cemetery, one built by John Jillett and the other by Thomas Jillett. They were built in memory of their 7 children who all died within 6 weeks of each other in 1859, of scarlet fever.

Whakatāuaki mo 31 o Hereturikōkā (August) 2014
Hoki atu ki o tātau iwi, hoki atu ki o tātau maunga, hoki atu ki o tātau marae. Engari kia mau ki tēnei kōrero - tu Māori mai, tu Māori mai, tu Māori mai
Go back to our people, go back to our mountains, go back to our marae but cling to this command.
Stand as Māori, stand as Māori, stand as Māori
This whakatāuki was said by Sir James Henare (1911- 1989) to soldiers of the 28th Māori Battalion when they returned to Aotearoa after serving overseas during the Second World War.

- Rich in omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids, amino acids, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), protein and high in minerals.
- Hemp is also rich in vitamin D that helps with calcium absorption.
- Helps with acne, minor abrasions, psoriasis and eczema.
- Great for dry skin and hair.
- Helps prevent premature aging.
- Effective in maintaining moisture balance.
- Earthy, Nutty scent.
- Absorbs quickly into the skin.
- Great shelf life (6 months to a year) if refrigerated after opening.
Hemp seed oil makes an excellent carrier oil due to its nutrients, and it is among one of my favorite oils for the body. When people hear the word "Hemp", they might not realize it has great therapeutic value, and they might think it has narcotic properties that in turn reduces its popularity. However, this oil is rich in vitamins, minerals, protein and essential fatty acids and is incredible for many ailments and does not have any narcotic properties.
Hemp Seed Oil may be used to nourish the hair and skin due to the high amount of protein and essential fatty acids. Hemp Seed Oil closely matches our skin's lipids, and the essential fatty acids are easily absorbed into the skin. Thus, Hemp Seed can play a preventative role in skin aging and also maintain healthy moisture balance. Not only does Hemp Seed Oil contribute substantially to younger looking skin and creates a moisture barrier, it can also relieve psoriasis, eczema, dry skin, acne and minor abrasions. Hemp is also rich in Vitamin D, which can help calcium absorption resulting in soft, smooth and hydrated skin.
Hemp Seed oil can also be taking internally; you can mix it in a smoothie or your morning cereal and can help with many health issues. Hemp Seed oil can help with osteoporosis, arthritis, rheumatoid, poor circulation, PMS, irregular hormone levels, menopause, cancer, multiple sclerosis, immune deficiency, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, low energy levels, low metabolism, weight loss, Crohn's disease, cardiovascular disease, gallstones, kidney degeneration, HIV virus and tuberculosis.
Hemp seed oil is composed of omega-3, omega-6, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are important for healthy cell creation and skin wellness. The "normal" diet today does not include enough vitamins or a good balance of essential fatty acids. Including hemp seed oil in your diet provides your body with important nutrients that will help enhance any chronic dry skin conditions like dermatitis or eczema.
The hemp that is used for oils and food are normally bred from hemp plants with very low resin content resulting in small non-psychoactive amounts (THC). The seeds are cleaned well after harvesting removing any excess trace residue. Once the seeds go through the manufacturing process and are cleaned and pressed, the ultimate product is free of any psychoactive compounds. Some Hemp Seed Oil does NOT include detectable Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and some are very low and will NOT produce any psychoactive, but may be detected in some urine test.
Blending Hemp Seed Oil with Essential Oils
Body Massage Oil: 40-60 drops of essential oil to about 4 ounces of Hemp Seed Oil..
Everyday Home Use: 10-20 drops of essential oils with 1 ounce of Hemp Seed Oil..
Therapeutic: 25-30 drops of essential oil to about 1/2 oz of Hemp Seed Oil.
- Therapeutic blends are normally used to address a specific health issue and is not used long-term.
- Some Essential Oils need fewer drops due to their high potency.

Here I sit, waiting patiently for my 4.4.2, while AT&T is playing around.

Makes me sad that they aren't even asking for my input and help. : (

Picture: Robbie Williams arrives smoking a cigarette for the football match LA Vale vs. O'Briens Santa Monica, California - 07.06.07
British pop prince Robbie Williams is planning a spectacular chart duet with 80s German pop star Nena.
The MILLENNIUM hitmaker approached the singer at this year's (03) ECHO music awards in Berlin - with the idea of performing her most famous hit together.
Nena says, "He wants to sing 99 RED BALLOONS with me. I'm looking forward to it like crazy. Robbie grew up with the song."
The two are planning to premiere their duet in July at the SCHALKE ARENA FOOTBALL STADIUM in Gelsenkirchen, when Robbie performs there on 13 July (03).20/05/2003 13:53
"This is one of those avant-garde things, is it?" says a droll, dubious and dying...

Gary G.wrote a review of SOG Knives Twitch XL Knife on February 20, 2009
Great Knife for Everyday
I have several other SOG Knives including the Twitch II, smaller version of the Twitch XL. Being the bigger brother to the Twitch II this knife has the blade to handle everyday chores on the trail, at work, or in close combat should the situation arise. High quality components and workmanship make this knife a must have for the trail. The patented S.A.T. spring assist technology makes for fast one handed deployment in any situation while the safety features assure against unintended opening. Overall you can't go wrong with this knife, on the job, on the trail, or in combat think S.O.G.

It doesn't get much better than Carnival in New Orleans. House parties, setting up your spot on St. Charles with family and friends, and catching "throws" with a drink in-hand are the things we look forward to all year. Whether you're riding floats or watching from the sidelines, Mardi Gras in NOLA is the best time of the year.
First, a little background…
If you're not from New Orleans or you've never been to this great city during this time of year, the whole concept of Mardi Gras can be pretty foreign. The terms "Mardi Gras" and "Carnival" are sometimes used interchangeably, but Carnival refers to the social season that begins on Twelfth Night and culminates on Mardi Gras Day, or Fat Tuesday before giving up all the debaucherous behavior on Ash Wednesday. Carnival celebrations in New Orleans date back to the 1730s and adopted "krewes" in the late 1800s which serve as social clubs that put on the parades. The party these days is filled with day and night parades throughout the city, Balls and Friday luncheons.
As the end of Carnival nears, we're looking forward to our favorite week of the celebration. During this week, the St. Charles streetcar shuts down this week to allow residents time to stake out their spot along the route for the biggest parades. If you're heading out for the fun get your cooler out and your chairs and ladders set up. Here's a little more info on this final week's timeline:
Wednesday & Thursday: Krewes start rolling with the ladies of Nyx and Muses.
Friday: Grab lunch in the Quarter and a stroll up St. Charles with your favorite drink in hand to watch Hermes, you'll know when the parade gets close when you start to hear the drum cadence of St. Aug's marching band.
Saturday: Overindulge a bit but still ready for the weekend? Tucks on Saturday is the perfect way to spend the day and if you're hurting from the night before, you'll appreciate why their theme is always toilet humor.
Sunday: Hail Thoth! on Sunday and if you're lucky enough to know about it or track it down, Cotton Fest makes for an epic day. If you're still standing by Lundi Gras (Monday), see you at Orpheus and thank Harry Connick Jr. for his contribution to Carnival. The King of Rex and Zulu roll Tuesday and then all bets are off as you head to the Quarter for the rest of the day.
Remember it's a marathon not a sprint, here are some of our favorites to have on-hand:
Domestic Light Beer:
Highlife or PBR, Silver Bullets or Miller Lite, you need a go-to source of light and refreshing.When ordering, make sure to click the dropdown menu and select the "cans" option.Abita Amber:
If it's in a can, it's good to go. And if you're not about the cheap and dirty domestic, Abita's flagship is a great move.
Bloody Mary:
Either make your mixer or grab a few liters of Zing Zang, some spicy beans, pickled okra and mix it up with a local vodka – Oryza from Thibodaux is tasty.French 75:
Mimosas are never a bad start, but on Sunday we like to up our game to this local, classy champagne cocktail.
Underwood Cellars:
They've put their Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris in cans! You can't ask for a better-suited wine for the occasion. When ordering, make sure to click the dropdown menu and select the "cans" option.
Fire up that Drizly app and order some drinks for delivery before you grab your spot on the parade route. As long as you're "neutral ground" side of the parade, we'll be delivering! Do us a solid and walk a block off the route so we can get to you. Bonus: Put a 10 LB bag into your cart at checkout, use promo code ICE and it's on the house!

Need money help? How to call in the experts
As the old proverb says, most people never plan to fail, they simply fail to plan.
However, when it comes to getting professional help, most people seem to lack the confidence to approach financial planners.
We at the Institute of Financial Planning want to stop finances floundering for want of a good plan of action: in this guide we look at when and how to call in the experts for help.
When to call the experts
Almost anyone unsure about what to do with their money can benefit from financial planning but those interested in long term savings and investments such as pension schemes, which are often complex, may have the most to gain.
Note that those with debt problems would benefit more from specialist help, find more information here.
Why financial planners?
So what do financial planners actually do?
Perhaps the common perception is that they help people to decide which investments, savings schemes or insurance policies are most suitable for their needs.
This is, of course, a part of what they will do but there's much more to it. All advisers are not the same.
Financial Planners work with their clients to build a proper financial plan.
Typically, that means they spend quite a bit of time helping individuals to work out their goals and aspirations in life, the likely cost of those goals and also prioritising what you want to happen and when.
This is a really powerful exercise. Usually for the first time in that person's life, they can see on paper or on screen what the rest of their life is meant to look like.
This plan then forms the basis for any financial advice that results, which may or may not involve products like ISAs or pensions or a host of other alternatives.
Are there fees?
Financial Planners charge a fee for the work they do.
You can clearly see what service you get for your money as it's all about you but the fact remains that you have to pay so the important thing is that when you work with an adviser or a planner, you have peace of mind and can be confident that the advice you receive is right for you.
You need to be able to trust the individual adviser and the firm they work for, to put your needs and interests first and come up with appropriate solutions that will suit those needs.
Who can you trust?
According to a survey that we carried out for Financial Planning Week, most people consider trust the most important quality in an adviser.
The cost of the advice and qualifications of the adviser are important but rank a long way behind trust.
That's why we at the IFP welcome a number of upcoming changes to advice in the UK.
The Financial Services Authority, the financial services regulator in the UK, is introducing perhaps the biggest shake up in regulation for decades which will apply to financial advisers from January 2013.
The good news is that advisers will no longer be able to claim commission payments from selling investment products, as they have in the past.
Understanding advice fees
The potential downside of this new transparency around charging means you will need to agree a fee for any financial advice you receive and in advance of that service being provided.
There is a popular misconception that financial advice has been free which can no longer be the case.
It does cost money to get advice but you'll know exactly what you're paying and the services you can expect in return.
However, it will still be possible for advice to be paid for from the amount invested into a product such as an ISA so it won't always be a case of writing a cheque out.
Who can you trust?
Advisers will also have to be better qualified, and will have to reveal to you whether the advice they provide on products you may ultimately buy as a result of their advice is independent or restricted to the products of one company.
Even so, it's difficult to know who will offer sound advice. Anybody can call themselves a Financial Planner and so it is important to know what you are looking for.
There are two signs to look out for. The first is the Certified Financial Planner mark.
This is a globally recognised qualification which shows that the individual holding it has the advanced skills and technical knowledge to help you to plan your finances in a way that has the best chance of you achieving your goals in life.
Accredited Financial Planning Firms represent the leading firms in the Financial Planning profession. Checked by IFP, you can be confident that in approaching them you will be offered a full financial planning service which puts your needs first.
You can find registers for both on our site here.
There are plenty of other things that you can do to find out more about whether the adviser you speak to is one you can trust.
A good start, for example, might be to ask for recommendations from your trusted friends or family members.
When it comes to the stage of actually speaking to an adviser or a Financial Planner, we've developed a list of ten questions that we recommend you ask to help you find out more about the kind of service they will provide.
You can find that information in a free downloadable guide here [pdf].

On Tuesday, Spain coach Vicente del Bosque ahead of Euro 2016 announced provisional 25 man squad. Former Atletico Madrid striker currently playing for Chelsea, Diego Costa was a notable absentee from squad. His Chelsea teammates, Pedro, Cesc and Cesar however have made it to 25 man squad.
Atletico Madrid's current striker Fernando Torres also has failed to find place in 25 man squad. Along with them Manchester United's midfielder Juan Mata is another notable player not to feature in Spain's squad. Mata's club teammate David de Gea has been named among 3 GK's announced. Arsenal's Santi Cazorla has also failed to find his name in announced team squad.
Spain who are looking for their third successive Euro title are placed in group D along with Croatia, Czech Republic and Turkey. Spain will kick off their campaign on 13th June against Czech Republic.

Israel vindicated by UN damage assessment in Gaza
By J.E. Dyer on August 26, 2014 at 1:33 am
A very informative analysis has been published at the Israellycool website, which tests damage-assessment data collected by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) against the claims of the IDF about what it targets in Gaza and why. The analysis bears out the IDF's claims.
In fact, it does more than that. It helps clarify just how much restraint Israel actually shows in attacking Hamas targets in Gaza. And it reveals another important pattern, which is that Israel doesn't just retaliate by rote against rocket launches or other attacks from Hamas. Israel works from a national-defense strategy that seeks to make every attack – every round, every warhead – count. The point is not to follow Hamas around the map, blowing up something in retaliation for each rocket launch. The point is to assess Israel's security situation and go after the priority targets whose destruction or suppression will best protect Israel.
The superb analysis done by Dan Smith ("Judge Dan") speaks for itself, and should be reviewed at Israellycool. I use a couple of the graphics from that analysis here, but it's essential to look at Judge Dan's work first.
From the OCHA assessment of damage points around Gaza, he has produced a "heat map" that shows where the areas with the biggest concentrations of total or severe destruction are located. The color code for the heat map is as follows (green indicates "crater/impact" or minimal damage at most; the overwhelming majority of the green area has no damage):

As "Brian of London" points out (at the end of Judge Dan's post), the heat map does not signify areas of continuous severe or total damage, but rather concentrations of individual points of such damage. Most of the individual points are very limited in area, typically 25 square meters or less.
The heat map shows that the great majority of Gaza has received either no damage, or very little. The areas with concentrations of severe or total damage occur where we would expect them to: where the IDF has indicated Hamas has concentrations of command posts, operating bases, rocket launchers, weapons storage, and, of course, tunnels.
The major population areas of "Gaza City, Jabaliya, Khan Yunes, Rafah and Deir el-Balah," Judge Dan observes, "were disproportionately undamaged" (emphasis in original). I have set the heat map next to a population graphic of Gaza for a visual comparison.

Judge Dan also uses an IDF briefing on the neighborhood of Shujaiya, located on the east side of Gaza City, to compare the OCHA damage assessment with the IDF presentation of Hamas's infrastructure. He finds extensive overlap. His resulting graphic is below, with data from the OCHA report reflected as the numerous square-shaped points (coded to the color chart above).

He followed up with additional analysis of some of the tunnel infrastructure uncovered in Operation Protective Edge – and found, once again, that the damage report from OCHA overlaps extensively with the IDF report of where the tunnels were found.
Let's take the analysis one step further, however, and compare Judge Dan's heat map with IDF graphics showing the launch locations for the 1,600+ rockets launched at Israel from Gaza during Operation Protective Edge.
For this comparison, I have rotated each IDF graphic (from the presentation linked above) to match the orientation of Judge Dan's heat map, and set the North, Central, and South portions of Gaza one by one next to it.
IDF graphic showing Hamas rocket launch points in red, versus Judge Dan's heat map. (Links for each graphic in text.)
IDF graphic showing Hamas rocket launch points in red, versus Judge Dan's heat map. (Links for each graphic in text.)
In northern Gaza, notice the extent to which Hamas chooses to launch from the more densely populated urban areas. But the great majority of the area where the launch points occur has little or no damage, according to Judge Dan's presentation of the OCHA assessment. In particular, vast tracts of Gaza City from which Hamas launched hundreds of rockets went untouched by the IDF.
On the other hand, the heat map's exceptional concentration of heavy damage points in the Shujaiya area is actually east of the densest grouping of rocket launch locations (indicated by the letter A on the IDF graphic). The damage concentrations around Beit Hanoun, near Gaza's northern border, are likewise geographically distinct from where the main grouping of rocket launch points falls (letter B).
These findings tend to validate the IDF's stated intention to destroy Hamas infrastructure – as opposed to merely participating in a pointless "cycle of violence." The findings certainly militate against the narrative that Israel targets Gaza's civilians. Even when Israel would be justified in attacking rocket launch points in dense urban areas, she only does so in limited cases, and to serve a larger strategic purpose.
The point here is more than that the IDF warns civilians to evacuate, or uses the least lethal weapon feasible, or otherwise tries to minimize collateral damage. The point is that Israel's motives and methods are consciously geared to waging limited, responsible warfare that serves her own security priorities – and not to "retaliating" out of anger or political expediency. With all the targets she could justifiably go after, Israel sticks to her strategy and purpose.

The central and southern portions of Gaza likewise show widely scattered launch points, with many occurring in the denser urban areas. But the total or severe damage points inflicted by the IDF are concentrated in the east, near the armistice line. They indicate systematic targeting of Hamas's operational infrastructure, rather than tactical retaliation against rocket launches. Most areas of central and southern Gaza have little or no damage.

Judge Dan issues a useful caveat in his second post on this (link above), observing that a few of the data points from OCHA don't make sense (e.g., falling in the waters off the coast), and some others seem to lack rigor. He doesn't appear to believe the overall reliability of the assessment is compromised, but the warning is a fair one.
On the other hand, UN employees have never been accused of being biased in Israel's favor. Israel's supporters might not be surprised that a UN employee's findings would vindicate Israel, but the UN employee probably wasn't hoping for them to. Any errors committed by OCHA can be safely assumed, at the least, to arise from sources other than bias toward Israel.
Ultimately, the case for some important conclusions is strengthened by the UN's data and the work Judge Dan has done. It may not have been OCHA's intention to demonstrate that the IDF's damage pattern is limited, systematic, and linked to Israel's stated security priorities – or that IDF operations inflict little to no damage on most of Gaza or the densest population centers. But that's what the OCHA damage assessment has done.

"Authors who write personal material tend to get a bad rap," moderator Meghan Daum said at the start of Saturday's panel "Nonfiction: The Art of the Personal Story" at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.
Personal writing is often seen, by literary and journalistic types alike, as embarrassing and narcissistic, less about craft than naked self-expression.
But the four highly accomplished writers assembled here — Pico Iyer, author of "The Man Within My Head," a book about his complex relationship with Graham Greene; Leo Braudy, USC professor and author of "Trying To Be Cool: Growing Up in the 1950s"; Dinah Lenney, author of "The Object Parade," an autobiography in inanimate objects; and Leslie Jamison, author of the highly praised new essay collection "The Empathy Exams" — were nothing if not devoted to craft, and they could hardly be called navel-gazers.
FULL COVERAGE: Festival of Books
Their books may be centered on themselves, but they engage a huge range of topics, from rock 'n' roll to chandeliers, Graham Greene to Morgellons disease.
Nor were they all memoirists, pure and simple.
Iyer and Jamison have published novels, Braudy and Iyer have written cultural history and all four have written criticism, which, as Iyer pointed out, can be a form of memoir.
"If somebody suddenly asks me, 'Who are you and what do you care about?' I'll clam up. But if somebody says, 'Write about Leonard Cohen or Terence Malick or U2,' I'll reveal things I wouldn't tell my closest friends," Iyer said.
INTERACTIVE GAME: How to be a writer
Jamison, too, recommended "gazing at an object outside of yourself" as a way of "bringing the self to bear." At one point she compared writing an essay to meeting up with an ex whom she couldn't talk to directly: "It was so much easier for us to wander through an art museum and started talking about what we were seeing, it permitted some kind of connection that went deeper."
Memoir is a famously subjective genre, and all the panelists agreed on the impossibility of remaining perfectly faithful to what really happened. "Memoir is always fiction," Iyer said, citing the difficulty of making his memories and impressions of his neighborhood in Cuba — "I felt I knew those five blocks in the way I know the lines on my hand" — to match up with reality.
Lenney agreed that "memory and imagination are kissing cousins," and Jamison compared nonfiction to an "asymptote": a line that never quite intersects with the curve of a given work.
For some writers, learning to be as loose with facts as the memoir sometimes demands involves shaking off old habits. Braudy's book on the 1950s began as a cultural history, but as he wrote he realized he wanted to use his own experiences, and to do that he had to free himself from a fear of inaccuracy: "If I'm writing a history book and I put the war of 1812 in 1813, I'm making a mistake," he said. "But [in memoir] I can put the movie theater on the other side of the street because it works better for the narrative."
The panel also touched on the ethics of nonfiction writing. How, Daum asked, do you manage the tricky business of writing about living people, especially those who are close to you? Do you ask for permission, or input?
Everyone endorsed showing a finished work to its subject before publication, but Lenney pointed out that doing so too early can interfere with the creative process, quoting a remark of Tobias Wolff's: "Memoir is not writing by committee." She also admitted she had avoided writing much about her husband and children "because I want them to continue to speak to me."
If one thing emerged from this fascinating conversation it was that nonfiction is a risky enterprise, in which the rules are never completely clear. Perhaps it's this uncertainty that attracts so many intelligent, adventurous minds, eager to push the limits of the form, even at the risk of pushing too far. As Braudy puts it in "Trying To Be Cool": "If memoirs aren't in some way embarrassing, what is the point.

text: Hello, I'm looking for a short list of conifers that are smaller, and narrower than what is in right now. I am pulling out red cedars and douglas firs, they are forest giants planted up against the buildings. I hoped mountain hemlock would work, but they are sold only up to 3-4 feet due to their slow growth. Picea omorika will work. Chameacyparis nootkatensis will not due to it's wide spread. Any reccomendations would be appreciated! Thanks. Is there a particular variety of Colarado blue spruce that stays narrow and dwarf by chance??

DocumentationDynamicVisualizerManipulating ObjectsManipulating Objects
4.2.7 Orientation
The location, scale, and orientation of an object are stored as a single 4×4 transformation matrix. However, full control over this matrix is often unnecessary and cumbersome. Instead, Dynamic Visualizer lets you specify the orientation in several, more convenient, ways.
Different ways to set the orientation of an object.
These all are discussed in detail in "Appendix 2: Orientation Commands". Here we provide a few examples of each.
The invariant point defines the point that remains in the same position when an object is rotated or scaled. When an object is created, this point is either at the object's origin or at its center, depending on the preferences set in Dynamic Visualizer. You may wish to override the default and set InvariantPoint explicitly.
For example, we can rotate the torus by 90° about {0, -1, 0}.
The orientation of an object is reset if the invariant point is changed.
Settings for the InvariantPoint option.
The rotation specified in YawPitchRoll format is defined by three successive rotations about the z, x, and y axes.
The EulerAngles option is useful when an object spins about an axis of symmetry along the z axis. In essence, the first two angles define the direction of the object's z axis, and the third angle defines the rotation about this axis.
Using the TransformationMatrix option, it is possible to specify either an explicit 3x3 rotation matrix or, alternatively, a full 4×4 transformation matrix that includes scaling and location information. Any scaling information supplied in a 3×3 matrix is ignored. Reflection and shear matrices are not supported. Dynamic Visualizer attempts to orthonormalize the rotation matrix, but this may not always be possible and may lead to peculiar rendering effects.
This uses the 3×3 version of the TransformationMatrix to rotate the sphere about the z axis.
This uses the 4×4 version of the TransformationMatrix option to scale the sphere.
The AxisAndAngle option is useful when the rotation is known to be about a particular external axis. The axis does not need to be normalized but does need to be of nonzero magnitude. For example, you can rotate the sphere about the {1, 0, 0} direction.

Unfortunately, you will have to go through this initial loading process every time if you kill the task after use. You can avoid this if left running in the background. You are greeted with this startpage. It gives you quick access to 9 of your favourite bookmarks with a little thumbnail preview. These tiles can obviously be customized to your choice.

Language: Chinese
Location: East Asia
Capital City: Beijing
Describing China in such a brief write-up is no easy task. The most populated country in the world is home to one the most fascinating cultures and diverse landscapes on earth. The Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Terracotta Warriors and Shanghai's skyline are just some of the things that make China an incredible place to see. Everything from the highly hospitable people to the amazing variety of great food makes China one of the best ESL teaching destinations. It is a country well-suited to all kinds of people; especially when you have mastered the mandarin language- a challenge well-worth pursuing. English is spoken by many Chinese people in the bigger cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. However, if you go to the smaller cities, whereby the general population hardly ever encounter foreigners, you can expect to be treated like a celebrity.
With China's size and its thriving economy, the demand for English teachers has never been higher. In fact the gap between supply and demand of teachers is huge. Finding a job is far from difficult. It is relatively easy to find work teaching all ages from kindergarten to university levels. With wages being fairly good and the general cost of living being cheap, you can save a substantial amount of your wages every month or splash out on extravagant meals every night if you wish to. Whatever lifestyle you want to create for yourself in China, you certainly can!

Their dorm rooms might be messy, but today's college students want dining halls to clean up and offer less-processed, healthier options.
Millennials are leading the booming "free-from" foods trend. Of the participants in a recent Mintel group study, 60% of millennials said they're concerned about transparency and clean ingredients in the food they eat. Many of them are currently in college, where they are making their own food decisions for the first time, and millennial preferences are clear: fresh ingredients, healthy options and clean...
