BrickList: 1984 Castle Relaunch
1984 Castle Relaunch
This is a list of the eight 1984 Castle sets that re-"launched" the Castle theme. The new colour scheme of yellow (instead of the normal town blue) was chosen for the background of the sets, and many regional companies had competitions featuring castle sets and a trip to Legoland Billund as the grand prize around this time.
Created by Novelty. Last updated on 23 Sep 2009.
1. 6010: Supply Wagon
The smallest of the 8 sets, this was the only one that did not have any heraldic affinity and thus served as the "merchant" for the line. It was unique in that it featured a minifigure with new torso printing and that it was a cheap source for the then new castle weapons.
6010-1 |
1318 members own this set | 441 members want this set |
2. 6021: Jousting Knights
This is another small set of the series and one of the few to feature both the Lion Knights and the Black Falcon. It was basically fully equipped knights and more accessories. Again, this was a cheap way to get horses and knights back in the day.
6021-1 |
1122 members own this set | 428 members want this set |
3. 6022: Horse Cart
This is the smallest of the Lion Knights sets in 1984 and it featured a bulky wagon being drawn by a horse. Later chariots/wagons had an improved design, but this design was badly balanced. Nevertheless, it was the smallest set in 1984 to include the archer.
6022-1 |
1445 members own this set | 403 members want this set |
4. 6030: Catapult
This is the smallest of the Black Falcon sets in 1984 and again, it features a bulky catapult. Later designs streamlined the catapult, but this catapult, although it was blocky and bulky, probably was one of the more interesting catapults of the line.
6030-1 |
1804 members own this set | 424 members want this set |
5. 6040: Blacksmith Shop
This is the first of the modular wall pieces (one of the few sets ever released) and the only one that was released in 1984. This was one of the rare sets that was not warfare orientated and had some sort of industry (a farrer/blacksmith).
6040-1 |
1262 members own this set | 636 members want this set |
6. 6061: Siege Tower
This is one of the larger medium sets and it has two parts, a siege engine and a modular wall. The wall piece was simple, but it included a hinge joint which was a welcome addition to those who wanted to make mega castles with the Lion Knights 1984 sets (6040, 6080 and this one 6061). The siege tower, again, although it's block, is probably one of the better built ones in the line, with a lowering drawbridge and stairs at the rear.
6061-1 |
1313 members own this set | 580 members want this set |
7. 6073: Knight's Castle
The smaller castle is obviously for the "bad guys" of the line, although it was not marketed as such back in 1984. This 1984 Black Falcon castle was interesting, with an asymmetrical design, and has a working drawbridge. The castle, like it's larger counterpart (6080) can also be unhinged and modular wall pieces may be added to form a larger castle wall structure.
6073-1 |
1148 members own this set | 660 members want this set |
8. 6080: King's Castle
The larger castle released in 1984 was for the Lion Knights. There are more features in this castle including a pulley for the drawbridge and a porticullis. However, the castle is symmetrical and blocky and boring. This castle, like it's smaller counterpart (6073) can also be unhinged and modular wall pieces (including 6040 and 6061) may be added to form a larger castle wall structure.
6080-1 |
1966 members own this set | 825 members want this set |

What is Online Education
Online education is a new concept altogether. It has been made possible by the computer and the internet that have revolutionized the institution of education. Today you don't need to go to classrooms to attend lectures by professors. The internet has brought classrooms into your home. Libraries or schools and colleges not the only places which provide education.
There are many ways you can gather information online. There are online encyclopedias and dictionaries, blogs written by users on specific topics, virtual classrooms, videoconferencing, online tutoring, live lectures found on streaming video sites, online classroom discussions, social networking sites, discussion boards integrated into online education environments, E-mails, and even virtual field trips.
Wikipedia is an example of online encyclopedias. In it you will find exhaustive articles submitted and edited by users on almost any topic. For example, if you type "motor vehicles" on your browser and add the words "wiki" to it, the search engine will take you to a Wikipedia page where you will find a well-researched material containing everything known to mankind about motor vehicles, beginning from the birth of motor vehicles to the latest, the fastest models and the most futuristic designs.
There are blogs and communities on almost anything anyone on the face of earth would care to write on. Be it an interesting global event such as the Olympic Games or opinions on some political or social topic.
Online tutoring is a popular alternative to the conventional classrooms. A student sitting at his home can have his arithmetic sums worked out for him by someone located in another country. This is what outsourcing is all about. This is very popular in first world countries such as the United States of America where students often outsource tutoring jobs to teachers from third world countries.
Thus online education has made the process of learning easier.

Bradley your microphone -- the US senate senate in 1997.
2000 ran for president on the democratic ticket seeking the nomination.
Was I understand it one time he played basketball or simply -- Many years ago -- Young man death and the knicks could use your right now aren't.
Or so it seems the new political we can all do better what course -- operations of this book.
Well last summer during the debt crisis you know the debt limit fiasco.
I pulpit.
I could add something because he really looked out there and I saw.
The debt limit debacle I saw the middle class stagnant income side saw.
Two wars still going and I found a lot of people who are losing hope -- -- wanted to write to spoke to.
Generate hope the people that and remind them that we've had difficult situations in the past we've had wars and depressions we've had.
All kinds of things that we've overcome.
And I wanted to remind them basically the American people are good.
And that we can control our own death to me that you are from institutions are flexible enough to allow us to solve our problems.
Who we meter politicians who put country -- a party.
And tell people the truth.
It really is a book of hope and I wonder.
Do you feel that the president hasn't delivered on the hope and change -- -- enough.
I think that the present has been subverted.
By this system in which is operating.
In particular the role of money in politics.
For example if you take 209.
And ten there's two years financial industry contributed to.
Million dollars politicians in Morse and health care industry -- 145.
Then energy industry 75.
So is it any wonder that we've got to water down financial reform bill notes public option with the health care and no energy bill at all.
Mean I think -- you the issue is not present the issues the system which any president works and it's one that's -- dominated by money.
And extremism and extremism comes from.
Districting system that rewards people on the fringes of the left infringes on the right.
How do you change the system it's wonderful to elect people who do offer us open changed but as you point out he probably gets -- -- -- frustrated result they get money.
The combat the other side and and how do you change that system.
Well I think ultimately it's up to I mean let's think back kid in 2008 on that night in Chicago on election night.
And -- we all thought that may be a leader.
Could renew America alone put even somebody with -- is deeply as Barack Obama can do that alone.
And it needs citizens.
I mean if you take a -- can meet sergeants the lieutenants.
Leader -- -- -- the direction is that the sergeants lieutenants and its citizens make it happen and you have to have committed citizens.
-- -- every significant change in the country practically.
Started with a citizen movement there was only one abolitionist and -- -- that slavery was morally wrong -- let's send it.
There was only one suffragists who said we need to give women the right to vote.
There was only one environmentalist.
-- that we need to clean up our air and water there was only one civil rights workers it's that we have to make good on the promise.
But constitution to African Americans.
And yet they -- and they effected the politics of our of those times and they pushed congressmen senators to take action.
The real change comes from citizens and that means that you know there's no excuse for inaction.
And that's an important point is not a vicarious experience.
That was formed New Jersey senator Bill Bradley the new book is we can all do better you mentioned the civil rights leader -- who stood up and Irish have senior preferred referring to.
-- Luther king if you pointed out.
He had on his side a legislator.
And and then a president then Lyndon Johnson who was able to enact so much of the -- What would mark with -- -- passionately.
Stood for.
It takes more than one.
Platform to get this stuff done.
-- and it sure doesn't look at the difference between the you can hardly at all surprised at his party has very specific objective roll back government and had a tactic which was let's -- people's congress.
-- ninth 2010 they elected 10-Q that is 43 people to congress.
And win Boehner and Obama agreed in principle on report trillion dollar disaster reduction Boehner took it back to -- -- in the Tea Party.
-- -- And almost brought this country to the brink of bankruptcy that's how quickly can things can change.
Then you look at occupied.
And they had a great slogan where the 99%.
Three point the real issue inequality in the country.
But they had no specific program and they chose not to get involved in electoral politics.
And the point there is this that passion was enough.
If you look at the mid 1960s.
And -- You needed to Martin Luther King junior's passion dreaming moral force and needed Lyndon Johnson's ability to move cutting through congress to transform America's.
Do we need it does Obama need to be more like a Lyndon Johnson for example -- that he has simply can't for awhile there had the wind under the wind it is back.
But it does he not do as well as Johnson because who who Johnson was and what his personality.
No I don't think you can -- Paris -- at a time now where money is so dominant let me give you an example when I ran for the senate in 1978.
My primary and general election campaign cost one point 68 million dollars in 2000.
A person who replaced me Jon Corzine stood six feet three million to.
And that's just amplify that all around them during and during the period 1998.
To 2010.
When -- financial reform was made.
When in 1990 the ten largest banks -- 10% of the financial assets in the country.
And now have 75%.
Of the -- in the country during that time profound change the financial industry contributed two billion dollars.
To politicians in Washington.
One of the -- you advocate for -- to do away with a mortgage interest deduction.
But we -- that have to do that across.
A broad spectrum of special interest and not just.
Hello I'm not arguing for -- liquidate the mortgage interest deductions.
I'm making the point that -- we're going to have real tax reform the way you get lower rates is -- closing loopholes.
And then you could make mortgage interest deduction and the much in the big.
Tax loopholes.
Deductible against the 28% rate in 35% rate.
So you end up with -- -- paying more without having to operate so.
I think you know wanna do it -- I -- little surprise that may -- -- misunderstood or read out of context but.
He just wanted to change the rates not the.
I don't mean I lay.
Four or five ways that we could raise taxes -- -- would -- a transaction tax of a couple of cents on each trade that's made there -- six billion trades made every day I could generate.
To -- 300 billion dollars a year.
And the real point -- make his.
The middle class in the last.
Thirty years has really taken it on the chin for example.
In 2012.
-- median income in this country the same as it was in 1996.
No advancement.
66 million Americans live one paycheck away from economic catastrophe.
And what do we do we have to create a system where we get more jobs more good paying jobs for that to happen.
We need to understand where the money is right now one point eight trillion dollars on the books of none financial corporations in this country in cash and an Indian tradable instruments.
And so how do we get them to spend twenty person that on hiring people which would reduce the unemployment rate to 5%.
They argue they need confidence.
And they need for.
Demand it.
And so confident you address -- Getting a big deficit reduction package that goes down and do this out years -- deal with -- of everything from defense to entitlements to taxes.
And -- -- need to.
For the for them for the demand side.
Need a massive infrastructure program that could be financed by the Chinese.
Because the Chinese will have the dollars we reduce the budget deficit we won't need to spend the money on the deficit.
On the the deficit -- -- anymore well we can use this Chinese dollars to finance.
Reconstruction bonds.
And -- the economic foundation for the next thirty years.
You'll says he's been I think in terms of -- hole here goes a suggesting third congressional party.
I say that you know there are times in American history where.
-- points of view are irreconcilable.
An example right before civil war.
But usually.
What happens is political conflict while businesses blog posts and ultimately one party like -- the floor with the other party.
And that is one way that you can get action the other way is if you roughly -- you need bipartisan action that was who it was during nineteen years in the senate for example.
-- lot of things on a bipartisan basis.
But -- neither of those things two -- you can't get him dominant party and you stuck with.
No bipartisanship.
And the country's agenda in terms of the middle class in terms of deficits in terms of political reform.
In terms of those things.
Are not addressed there could emerge -- third congressional party not a presidential party a congressional party after almost congress in the last fall that had.
They reelect number of 6% when Barack Obama was at its lowest which was 40%.
And so.
He if you could elect particular congressional pardon three or four.
Programs -- for ideas such as a constitutional amendment to limit the amount of money and political campaigns such as.
Reducing the deficit I -- very specific steps a reduction programs such as.
Massive infrastructure investments such as the new tax system that -- -- more than employment.
And you would then be able to go to congress what's the ranch it's the district she won 20/20 five you do it before from a power.
And you could use that power in order to get.
Votes from both sides by trading votes to get their votes for.
Kind of reform package.
And maybe maybe -- just might break the deadlock.
I -- a very interesting to read that you've that Dick Lugar who's your favorite senator.
And yet he's in trouble.
He is in trouble I think -- -- -- for part time the Republican Party has been hijacked.
Via the people who were the most extreme.
-- -- give them credit there organize and they're moving toward elections.
But the result is that the country is losing really good Republicans that knew how to work with Democrats.
And who knew how to legislate.
Now you're getting people in there that are extreme and don't want to compromise our -- -- the system is based upon compromise.
From the very beginning.
-- in less we have people who understand that there will be no progress on the big issues that we face.
My thought is easier favored senator or for your favorite Republican senator is a progressive Democrat -- surprise that you picked.
Dick Lugar you know I that I thought that he was the most effective senator -- -- him a lot he did a lot of wonderful things we worked well together I got a lot of friends and essentially is not the only one.
And you know miss electoral politics -- taken.
No I don't.
Very happy doing what I'm doing and -- you know my dream is that this book will give people some hope and I don't know that there and control their own --

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 9:48 p.m. Sunday, July 28, 2013
By Jamie Dupree
Like college students putting off their homework until it absolutely has to be done, the Congress will clock in for a few more days this week and then beat it out of town until September 9, far behind as usual on the budget work for next year.
In other words, a lot of verbal pot shots are expected this week than progress in the budget arena.
Of the 12 spending bills that must be finished by September 30, the House has approved only four - and just one is on the schedule this week.
Of the 12 spending bills that must be finished by September 30, the Senate has not approved any - and just one is on the schedule this week.
A handful of lawmakers have suggested scrapping the August break and staying at work to finish those appropriations bills, but that has as much chance of happening as I have of qualifying for the U.S. Open (in either golf or tennis.)
As for what will get done this week, Republicans will bring a series of reform bills to the House floor, labeling it "Stop Government Abuse Week."
Democrats meanwhile will try to finish a Transportation-Housing spending bill, ready to accuse the GOP of embracing gridlock if that bill runs aground in the U.S. Senate.
As for the Senate, don't look for Senators to be voting on a Friday for the first time since March - an email that went out late last week said two Democratic Senators would be in Iowa for a Friday morning event, which tells me Senators will be on planes home some time on Thursday afternoon.
This reporter would comment from the peanut gallery that if you don't work on Friday, you might fall behind on your work.
Meanwhile, the House floor work schedule calls for a four day work week this week, then five weeks off, two four day work weeks, followed by a week off.
And then, it's suddenly the week of September 30, which is the last day of the current fiscal year.
This reporter would comment from the peanut gallery that if you aren't in Washington, D.C. most of the time between now and the September 30 deadline, it's sort of hard to complete the budget and more.
But we digress.
At some point during September both sides will have to agree on a stop gap budget to keep the government running, or else we will have a government shutdown starting on October 1.
Let's go through my three most likely government shutdown scenarios:
#1 - White House demands a budget deal that wipes away the automatic budget cuts through a mix of new tax increases and other budget cuts; Republicans refuse to go along and the government shuts down.
#2 - Republicans demand a temporary budget deal that zeroes out funding for the Obama health reform law; the White House and Democrats refuse, and the government shuts down.
#3 - $91 billion apart, Democrats and Republicans simply are unable to agree on funding level for stop gap budget; so, on October 1, the government shuts down.
Democrats are currently offering a discretionary budget plan that spends $1.058 trillion (current law, pre-sequester levels) while the GOP is at $967 billion (current law, post-sequester funding levels).
Could a government shutdown happen? Sure it could. Will it? I'm still not convinced, mainly because both parties have a lot to lose.
It isn't clear that the President has the leverage for option #1; the GOP is divided over option #2, and Republicans are in no mood to accept the Democratic idea for more taxes and/or more spending on #3.
Republicans will probably also spend part of this week lobbing shots at each other over option #2, the shutdown over the Obama health law, which has strong backers and strong critics inside the GOP.
Meanwhile, President Obama is likely to lob a few verbal grenades at Republicans on Tuesday, as Mr. Obama will travel to Tennessee this week to make another speech about his plans to spur economic growth - but it is not clear if that will mean more details about what he wants to achieve.
Mr. Obama is also expected to go to Capitol Hill to meet with Congressional Democrats, giving him another chance to reinforce the message of his economic speeches - and gig Republicans in the process.
None of it is a menu for getting much done.
And really, that's fine with a lot of voters.
Enjoy your August recess, Congress - most of America wouldn't mind having five weeks off either.

As many of you know, I don't talk about anything on our blog unless I've actually experienced it. This topic is no different, and by no means is meant to degrade either RehabCare or RehabChoice. We have working agreements for PRN therapist staffing with both companies, so I feel confident I can comment on both. And this is not limited to these two companies – there's also Select Rehabilitation, Rehab America, Incite, Restore, and a multitude of others, especially if you include all of the travel rehab companies.
But back to RehabCare or RehabChoice…
Quite simply, the names can be very confusing. After all, they both start with Rehab. Does this confuse therapists that are seeking a new job? Do therapists apply for one company, thinking it is the other? Or worse yet, do therapists interview with one company, only to find out it is not who they thought it was? And do LTC facilities get equally confused?
So if the names are confusing, let's look at some other things that will hopefully differentiate the two companies…
The company logos. Here they are:
Definite color differences, among others. My thoughts? The RehabChoice logo conveys many people centered around one mission or goal – the red dot center. The old RehabCare logo, which is not pictured, was warming with the heart in the hand. The new RehabCare logo contains their slogan, but no strong visual. Is one better than the other? I don't think so.
Enough of the fluff – let's get down to the definite differences. No therapist is going to pick one company over another because of their logo.
What you are about to read, you can easily find on each company's respective website: www.rehabchoice.com and www.rehabcare.com.
First things first: Social media. Go to RehabCare's website, and you'll see links to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn. You won't find these at RehabChoice. What does this imply? If you're a social therapist, or perhaps one that embraces technology and media, RehabCare may be the choice for you. But if you are BIG into social media, you'll be equally disappointed in RehabCare's attempt at Social Media. At the time of this post, their YouTube videos, Facebook posts and Twitter tweets are intermittent at best, and there are numerous employees on LinkedIn without a profile picture. I'm no Social Media guru by any means, but this could use an improvement..
Size. On the home page of RehabCare you'll find the following:
"RehabCare is the leading provider of rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational and speech-language therapies, to over 2,000 hospitals and long-term care facilities in 46 states. We are the premier provider of rehab throughout the full continuum of care, including long-term acute care hospitals, nursing and rehabilitation centers, inpatient acute rehab units, independent rehabilitation facilities and hospice and home care locations."
Impressive? Sure, especially for those new graduates hungry for a position. Attractive? Likely not for the more experienced therapists that have already worked for corporate America.
Cruise on over to www.RehabChoice.com and you will not find any boasting of its size. However, you will find the following:
"Rehab Choice Incorporated (RCI) is proud to be one of the few privately-held, therapist-owned providers of physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech language pathology in the United States. Founded in 1980, RCI provides services to patients in skilled nursing facilities, retirement communities, school districts, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home health agencies."
So which company is bigger? RehabCare, without a doubt. So if you are making a decision based upon size alone, there's your answer. But is size synonymous with stability? No. If anything, dynamics are more common in these rehabilitation settings than stability.
What about pay and benefits? These are often critical and determining factors in employee hiring and retainment. In many cases, it's the therapist who provides benefits for their family.
RehabCare offers the following comprehensive benefit package to its employees:
"As a large and financially viable company, we can offer competitive compensation and a full range of benefits, including health and life insurance, short- and long-term disability, 401(k), flexible spending accounts, tuition assistance and much more."
So how does RehabChoice stack up? They offer the following benefits package:
- Paid time off
- Bereavement leave
- Jury duty
- Health, Dental and Prescription drug insurance
- Life insurance
- Short-term disability
- Long-term disability
- Professional liability insurance
- 401(k) plan
- Many clinical benefits
- Paid Continuing Education
Surprisingly, or perhaps not, you won't find mention of a pay scale on either website. If these two companies are commonly confused, and so comparable in their offerings, I'd want to make every effort possible to differentiate myself. So why not talk about your salary offering, even if it is a range based upon X, Y, and Z? We offer our pay ranges on our website, and if you are in the know with what people are looking for when they visit your website, you would too. Just ask The Sales Lion, he'll tell you why. J
Experience matters. After all, if I'm gonna take my car to a mechanic – it's gonna go to the experienced one. Not the new guy on the block that just got out of lugnut school. Same goes with rehabilitation and your first job. You want to go with someone that knows what the heck they are doing. RehabCare goes back to 1982. RehabChoice was founded in 1980. Pretty darn close. A significant difference? Doubtful.
Litigation. Yep, that ugly elephant in the room that no-one wants to talk about. Lawsuits and the implied ethical (or lack thereof) conduct of business that goes along with those. The following is found on a Google search of "RehabCare Lawsuits". The entire first page of my Google search for this term has stories about lawsuits involving RehabCare. And I didn't care to explore the second page. Now, don't get me wrong, a larger company does expose itself to more opportunities for litigation. It's like me working in my wood shop after hours…the more I run that table saw, the more opportunities I have to nick my finger on that blade, especially if I'm not using the correct safety equipment.
Do a Google search for "Rehab Choice Lawsuits" and you'll not find even a single result or story of Rehab Choice involved in a lawsuit. What's to learn here? Perhaps PTs, OTs, SLPs and beyond should do their homework on their prospective new employer. I often hear that therapists don't want to expose themselves to litigation, so researching a bit in a manner such as this in just a few short minutes on Google would make sense. Easy, huh?
I think that's enough for comparison sake, don't you? Is one company better than the other? Your call, not mine…after all, I'm not a physical therapist, occupational therapist, or speech therapist. So that's a decision I don't have to make, but you may. So please, do your home work so that you can make the best decision possible. Feel free to contact me if you have an interview coming up with one or the other. I'll be happy to help you figure out the best way to do your "pre-interview" homework. This is something everyone should be doing in this economy.
What are your thoughts? Is one of these companies better than the other? The comparisons, as least from their websites, certainly have very few differences. Perhaps advanced searching in social media and Google would reveal more. I'd love to hear from you, especially if you've worked for one or both of these companies.

Bechukotai - Chamishi
Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom
Take My Field – Please!
If a person pledges a field from his hereditary property to the Temple, its value will be calculated based upon how much seed one can sow there, as well as how far it is from the next Jubilee year. If the owner wants to redeem the field, he pays that amount plus 20 percent. If someone else redeems it, or if the Temple treasurer sells it, the original owner loses his claim on the property. When the Jubilee rolls around, the field will revert not to the original owner, but to the kohanim. (The kohanim have to pay the Temple the value of the field, though not the extra 20 percent – see Talmud Arachin 25b.)

I'm working on a system in which a user will fill out a temporary parking pass request for a vendor (infopath 2010 browser form), it gets routed to someone for approval then sends an email to the vendor. I would like this email to contain either the form as an attachment (read-only) or embedded in the email message so they can print it out and display it. I can attach it just fine, but I don't want people to have to install infopath just to open it, and I would rather not give them a link to it because I don't want to set up anonymous access.
Any ideas?

A rapid winger who is a product of the club's Hale End Academy, Anthony finally earned a deserved professional contract at Arsenal following a strong end to the season, which included a loan spell at League One Stevenage.
Despite featuring just once during his time at the Lamex Stadium, Anthony returned to Arsenal an improved player and was in sensational form for the U18s during the final weeks of the campaign, scoring against Aston Villa and Newcastle United.
He was also in excellent form in the FA Youth Cup, finding the net against Newcastle and Fulham, but surprisingly was afforded just a solitary outing for the U21s, as a substitute against Blackburn Rovers.
Now, having earned his professional contract, Anthony will be hopeful of making a sustained impact at second-string level this season.

How many NASA engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?
The question is no joke to NASA, which is investing $11.4 million to change out aging fluorescent lights in the International Space Station's U.S. On-orbit Segment. When NASA began considering the replacements, doctors realized they had an opportunity to tackle an entirely different problem: astronaut insomnia.
Sleep deprivation's fuzziness is an annoyance on Earth but dangerous in space. Although their schedule allows for 8.5 hours of shut-eye a day, astronauts average barely six hours, says NASA medical officer and flight surgeon Smith Johnston. A combination of floating, noise, variable temperature, poor air circulation, backaches and headaches, and a new dawn every 90 minutes confuses circadian rhythms. NASA hopes to fix at least part of the problem with new lamps.
Sleep scientists have found that when specific light receptors in our eyes are exposed to a particular wavelength of blue light, we feel more alert because the brain suppresses melatonin, a key hormone in regulating sleep. In contrast, red-spectrum light lets the melatonin flow.
The new lamps, from Boeing, comprise a rainbow of more than 100 LED bulbs cloaked by a diffuser, so they appear to be a single panel of white light, says Debbie Sharp, a Boeing senior manager. The fixtures have three modes, each with a subtly different hue: white light is for general vision; a cooler, blue-shifted light promotes alertness; and a warmer, red-shifted light triggers sleepiness. Boeing and its subcontractors expect to deliver 20 lamps in 2015.
In the meantime, scientists at institutions such as Harvard Medical School and Thomas Jefferson University are testing the lamps' efficacy.
The technology could one day be widespread back on Earth, perhaps illuminating hospital rooms, nuclear submarines, factories or classrooms. "Just because the world has been using fluorescent lighting for years doesn't mean it's the best," says study collaborator Elizabeth Klerman of Harvard.

Overview: This seminar provides instruction in the appraisal of convenience stores. It assumes knowledge of and experience with basic appraisal theories and fundamental appraisal practices. It is impossible for an appraiser to conduct a productive interview with a convenience store owner, buyer, or seller without a working knowledge of the industry. When discussing a convenience store appraisal with an owner-operator, the appraiser must realize that fuel margins are less than in-store margins, that a new store's average cost exceeds $1 million, and that the owner-operator struggles to compete with hypermarkets and mass merchandisers. Syllabus: Module 1: Industry Assessment Module 2: Trade Area Analysis Module 3: Site, Store and Fuel Service Module 4: Valuation Assessment Module 5: Case Study Conclusion These modules provide necessary guidance that experienced commercial appraisers need when working with convenience stores. The modules in this seminar follow closely the Appraisal Institute's book, Convenience Stores and Retail Fuel Properties: Essential Appraisal Issues. This seminar addresses the areas of weakness that most experienced commercial appraisers have with this type of property. The seminar also addresses retail site criteria, store building issues, the fuel service, and descriptions and treatment of store equipment. Throughout the modules presented in this seminar, useful, up-to-date reference and statistical material is provided from industry sources such as the National Association of Convenience Stores, and Oil Pricing Information Service and CS News, a trade journal. Finally, a case study gives students hands-on experience in applying the knowledge learned in the previous modules. Learning Objectives: Describe the convenience store industry, current business trends, and the future direction of this retail trade channel. Assess current trends in the convenience store industry and determine how they impact the operation and profitability of the subject. Find vital sources of information and data that are needed in the appraisal of convenience stores, including leading trade journals and industry reports. Describe the trade area, quantify supply and demand within the local market, and assess how these factors influence the operation and profitability of the subject. Analyze supply and demand for convenience stores within the trade area. Find sources of data and demonstrate analytical tools that are helpful in trade area analysis. Examine specific considerations and issues that are unique to the appraisal of convenience stores. Apply the cost, sales comparison, and income capitalization approaches to a convenience store appraisal. Identify specific considerations that should be made in the three approaches. Develop an allocation procedure for processing the income approach. AI CE Credit for Designated members, Candidates for Designation and Practicing Affiliates This program is approved for 1.25 hours of Appraisal Institute CE credit for every hour taken.

As the oldest of the 78 million "baby boomers" turn 60 this year, it is apparent that consumers in the United States are not getting younger; however, they are getting smarter about their health, according to a report by the North American Olive Oil Association (NAOOA).
In particular, consumers are making smarter choices about the types of food and exercise they need during different stages of life. "While people should eat nutritious foods throughout their lives to maintain and protect health, nutritional needs change as we get older," explained Elizabeth Somer, registered dietitian and author of several nutrition books, in a press statement. "Therefore, adjusting diet based on age is important."
Experts reportedly suggest that people of all ages should eat colorful fruits and vegetables such as blueberries and spinach, whole grains such as oats, lean protein such as chicken breast and fish, and certain healthy fats found in foods such as olive oil. These foods provide the vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients that help promote health and protect against serious diseases, including cancer and heart disease.
"Choosing these good-for-you foods, while avoiding foods that are unhealthy, has a profound effect on future good health," continued Somer in the report. "Besides, eating well is so easy. For example, olive oil, which is loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, can be used in place of other oils, butter or margarine in sauteing, cooking and baking."
According to NAOOA, research supporting the heart-health benefits of olive oil was strong enough for the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve a health claim linking the consumption of olive oil to a lowered risk of heart disease.

Pack of 50
Closer to Nature Disposable Breast Pads are ultra-soft and absorbent, and they're packed in 50s for extra value.
Our Disposable Breast Pads will keep you feeling comfortable and confident thanks to their breathability and discreet, non-slip design. They're twin wrapped too, making them ideal to keep close to hand in your handbag or baby-changing bag.
Contains: 50 x Disposable Breast Pads
As ever, kiddicare supplies excellent products at excellent prices. thankyou
I've tried loads of pads - three different supermarket own brands (that leak), reusable fabric ones (that also leak), the silicone ones, these and lansinoh. I'd rate the silicone ones as my faves if they didn't lose their stickiness so quickly. Otherwise I rate these ones and the lansinoh ones for non-leakage and comfort against the skin.
Best breast pads iv ever used, handy for keeping in the changing bag as there wrapped in pairs too.
I haven't used these yet but after reading the reviews both on Kiddicare and other websites, these sound like the best ones to use. I do like how they are wrapped in individual packages so easy to pack in your bag. I thought the price was ok for how many you get and if they are as good as they say they are then they are worth every penny!
They are much better than a lot of breast pads I've used before. They stay in place. Could do with an extra adhesive strip just to be on the safe side.

Jessica Lee and Bobby Jae Chun left their Maryland surroundings for a destination wedding filled with sun, sand, and sea. Their July 16, 2011, nuptials in Turks and Caicos were sleek and modern with a healthy dose of tropical flair. Taking their cue from the remarkable setting, the duet peppered their dreamy Caribbean fete with some DIY touches.
The Gansevoort Turks and Caicos initially surfaced as a honeymoon option for the couple. But when some of Jessica and Bobby's friends joked about wanting to go there, too, they quickly decided to make it the wedding location instead. Friends and family, 28 in total, traveled to the island for a weekend to remember.
Jessica and Bobby sent a small box with a Turks and Caicos travel book and a personalized luggage tag (from Etsy vendor Of the Fountain) to each guest to thank them for making the trip. The box was lined with a cabana stripe pattern that was used on all of their stationery elements.
Jessica's sister, Suann Song, of Simplesong Design, created all of the paper elements.
The 15-inch by 5-inch invitation suite introduced aqua into the color palette. A response postcard, attached to the bottom with a perforated edge, was easy for guests to tear off and mail in. The envelope was lined with their signature stripe (first seen on the prewelcome box) and featured the couple's initials and wedding date.
Jessica wore an Amsale gown from Hitched Salon, Badgley Mischka shoes she found on Zappos, and Erica Koesler jewelry from Lovely Bridal Shop.
Bobby Jae looked sharp in J.Crew accented with an orange pocket square.
Officiant Sherlock Padmore spoke about the significance of the couple's wedding bands, which came from Princess Jewelers.
Jessica and Bobby Jae wanted their guests to not only witness the ceremony but be active participants. They asked each one to share a piece of advice after the vows and rings were exchanged. The words of wisdom ranged from the traditional ("Never go to sleep angry") to the surprising ("In the words of the classic film 'White Men Can't Jump,' 'Listen to the woman'").
Heidi Geldhauser of Our Labor of Love photographed the couple around the hotel property and on the beach of Grace Bay.
A striped menu outlined the three-course meal: house salad; blackened mahimahi with peas and rice, mango sauce, and spinach, or steak bearnaise with string beans and potato puree; and profiteroles with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Wedding cake was served too.
The hotel's restaurant, Bagatelle Bistrot, prepared the night's cuisine.

FRC up in arms over same-sex relationships in SWTOR
The Family Research Council has taken great umbrage to the fact Star Wars: The Old Republic will eventually allow same-sex relationships in the MMO. So much so, its president, Tony Perkins, lambasted the game on a radio broadcast stating that "in a new Star Wars game, the biggest threat to the empire may be homosexual activists."

BioWare hasn't decided whether or not nudity will come into play during the horizontal parts of Dragon Age: Origins.
"I don't think we've worked that out yet, because we can adjust that whenever we want, right?", Greg Zeschuk told Videogamer. "On Mass Effect we worked extensively to figure out, how do we want to portray it? It's not ogling pixels [laughs] – sad but probably titillating, too.
"I think for us it's more just making sure it fits the context of what we're trying to create."
He did confirm that the actions taking place will be "cut scene-controlled environments" only.
No Kratos inspired button mashing then, we reckon.

MSNBC writer wants more sexuality in games
Who doesn't right? Well, maybe not everyone.
Winda Benedetti of MSNBC does though, and she makes a valid point, even if gamers have been saying it for years.
"Adults in movies have sex," she said. "So why shouldn't adult characters in video games get it on or, you know, appear in their computer-generated birthday suits?"
She does, however, admit that the community and games in general have a bit of growing up to do before this can happen, citing the Mass Effect sex scene as the pillar to live up to.
When it does, look for Rockstar to go hog wild.

That looks like its been pushed out by the linear conversion of this design. Possible the wheel nut wasnt tight enough. Over tightening could splay the dropouts too and this push action could make the situation worse.
I cant be sure of the orientaion of the fork but it looks like it was done during braking and not acceleration too.
Justin, which side is the forward and behind orientation of the forks in the above picture. Is the front the left side?
You guys are completely correct. In this case, the torque was applied backwards (regen style) and it levered the axle out of the dropouts. That was a testing mistake on my part, so it wasn't part of the useful data. The nuts had been tightened to 60 N-m and the spinout (in the regen direction) happened at just over 80 N-m. About the same or slightly less torque than with no torque arm.
Unforunately this was my last set of makeshift dropouts, so I couldn't repeat the experiment pulling in the correct direction to see at how much of an improvement the torque plate has with 14mm axles. Suspect it would have been a lot better than the improvement seen over 12mm axles.

Other Pets at Shelter...
Beau's Info...
Rescue Group: Adopt A Golden Knoxville - Norwich, CT
Breed: | Golden Retriever | Color: | Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut | Age: | Senior |
Size: | Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg) | Sex: | Male |
What's up? I am Beau - like Beau-de-shious! I am all golden retriever and ready to romp and stomp with everyone! My family gave me up - FINALLY - because they had too many dogs. I was really hating that because I kept hearing there was a better life out there. Well, the nice lady that picked me up assured me my friends were right. She said that goldens like me live inside, have stuffed toys, fluffy beds and tennis balls to chase. AND families that will pay attention to me and love me forever. I can not wait! So, they told me to you that I am a pure bred golden retriever, 8 years young, 63 pounds and very healthy - mid-size - that loves other dogs and will dance around until you pet me. So how you could want anyone else?
If you are interested, please go to our website at http://www.adoptagoldenknoxville.org/new_england.html to find out more about adopting Beau.
NOTE: Adopt A Golden Knoxville rescue doesn't have an actual shelter building in your area. These dogs are fostered in private homes in East Tennessee. Therefore, it is not possible to meet the dogs and pups prior to their adoption. They are brought up north on a USDA transporter.

Cypress Hill Tickets and Concert Dates
Short Biography
Cypress Hill has long represented the will of the people. With over 18 million albums sold worldwide, the Los Angeles trio of rappers B -Real, Sen Dog and producer DJ Muggs have continued to push rap's boundaries since their inception in the early 90s.
With their eponymous debut album in 1991, B -Real and Sen Dog established themselves as one of rap's most potent duos. Their creative phrasing, distinctive voices and graphic subject matter, coupled with DJ Muggs' atmospheric, piercing and dusty beats, propelled the trio to international superstar status.
In 2010 Cypress Hill will release their 8th studio album, 'Rise Up' produced by Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine, and featuring the talents of Pete Rock, Daron Malakian, Mike Shinoda, Apathy, Pitbull, Marc Anthony and more. 'Rise Up' is the trio's first release under the Snoop Dogg administration at Priority Records.
As the years have passed, the crew's dynamic stage show - bolstered in 1994 by the addition of percussionist Eric Bobo (also of Beastie Boys fame) - has evolved into one of raps most polished, as such intense tunes, 'Insane In The Brain', 'Rock Superstar', 'How I Could Just Kill A Man', 'We Ain't Goin' Out Like That', 'Lick A Shot' and 'Real Estate' translated perfectly to the stage. Given this reality, it's little surprise that Cypress Hill remain a major concert draw, even when they take time off between albums.
In 2010 Cypress Hill bring that legendary live show to Australia for a national tour and to headline the Coaster Festival at Gosford, on the NSW Central Coast.
Rise Up is in store now through Priority Records and EMI Australia.
In-depth Biography
Cypress Hill were notable for being the first Latino hip-hop superstars, but they became notorious for their endorsement of marijuana, which actually isn't a trivial thing. Not only did the group campaign for its legalization, but their slow, rolling bass-and-drum loops pioneered a new, stoned funk that became extraordinary influential in '90s hip-hop -- it could be heard in everything from Dr. Dre's G-funk to the chilly layers of English trip-hop. DJ Muggs crafted the sound, and B Real, with his pinched, nasal voice, was responsible for the rhetoric that made them famous. The pro-pot position became a little ridiculous over time, but there was no denying that the actual music had a strange, eerie power, particularly on the band's first two albums. Although B Real remained an effective lyricist and Muggs' musical skills did not diminish, the group's third album, Temples of Boom, was perceived by many critics as self-parodic, and the group appeared to disintegrate shortly afterward, though Muggs and B Real regrouped toward the end of the '90s to issue more material.
DVX, the original incarnation of Cypress Hill, formed in 1986 when Cuban-born brothers Sen Dog (born Senen Reyes, November 20, 1965) and Mellow Man Ace hooked up with fellow Los Angeles residents Muggs (born Lawrence Muggerud, January 28, 1968) and B Real (born Louis Freese, June 2, 1970). The group began pioneering a fusion of Latin and hip-hop slang, developing their own style by the time Mellow Man Ace left the group in 1988. Renaming themselves Cypress Hill after a local street, the group continued to perform around L.A., eventually signing with Ruffhouse/Columbia in 1991.
With its stoned beats, B Real's exaggerated nasal whine, and cartoonish violence, the group's eponymous debut became a sensation in early 1992, several months after its initial release. The singles "How I Could Just Kill a Man" and "The Phuncky Feel One" became underground hits, and the group's public pro-marijuana stance earned them many fans among the alternative rock community. Cypress Hill followed the album with Black Sunday in the summer of 1993, and while it sounded remarkably similar to the debut, it nevertheless became a hit, entering the album charts at number one and spawning the crossover hit "Insane in the Brain." With Black Sunday, Cypress Hill's audience became predominantly white, collegiate suburbanites, which caused them to lose some support in the hip-hop community. The group didn't help matters much in 1995, when they added a new member, drummer Bobo, and toured with the fifth Lollapalooza prior to the release of their third album, Temples of Boom. A darker, gloomier affair than their first two records, Temples of Boom was greeted with mixed reviews upon its fall 1995 release, and while it initially sold well, it failed to generate a genuine hit single. However, it did perform better on the R&B charts than it did on the pop charts.
Instead of capitalizing on their regained hip-hop credibility, Cypress Hill slowly fell apart. Sen Dog left in early 1996 and Muggs spent most of the year working on his solo album. Muggs Presents the Soul Assassins was released to overwhelmingly positive reviews in early 1997, leaving Cypress Hill's future in much doubt until the release of IV in 1998. Sen Dog had come back for the record. He had left because he felt he did not get enough mike time, but after a few years with a rock band he was more than happy to return. Two years later, the group released the double-disc set Skull & Bones, which featured a disc of hip-hop and a disc of their more rock-inspired material. Appropriately, the album also included rock and rap versions of the single "Superstar," bringing Cypress Hill's quest for credibility and crossover hits full circle. The ensuing videos for both versions featured many famous rap and rock musicians talking about their profession, and the song was a smash on MTV because of it. In the winter of 2001, the group came back with Stoned Raiders, another album to heavily incorporate rock music. Three years later, the band issued Till Death Do Us Part, which incorporated several styles of Jamaican music. In 2010 they announced their signing to Priority Records thanks to the label's creative director, Snoop Dogg. The label released their eighth studio album, Rise Up, that same year. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
