what to buy
While it's easy to find a quality pair of binoculars for more than $2,000, it proves much more challenging to do so for less than $300. The Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10x42 (Est. $250) binoculars are one such pair. While they may not quite equal the superior optics of the Swarovski EL Swarovisions (Est. $2,500) or the Zeiss Victory HT 8x42 (Est. $2,200) , the Bushnell Legend offers great bang for your buck; many users feel images from the Bushnell Legend appear to come from much costlier models.
Both the Nikon Monarch 5 8x42 (Est. $300) and the Leupold BX-4 McKinley HD 10x42 (Est. $600) are slightly more durable than the Bushnell Legends, but they are more expensive as well. Plus, the Legends come with a limited lifetime warranty and a money-back guarantee within one year of purchase if you are not completely satisfied. For the money, the Legends are the best value. The Alpen Apex 8x42 (Est. $280) provide a longer eye relief than the Legends (20 mm to 15.2 mm respectively), making them more adaptable to people who wear eyeglasses. However, unlike the Legend, the Apex lacks a diopter lock, which allows users to adjust the focus of one eye at a time. Without a lock, the Apex diopter tends to move on its own, meaning constant readjustments are necessary.
It is hard to beat the Bushnell Legend Ultra HDs when comparing models in the sub-$300 price range. Thus they earn our top choice for cheap binoculars, as they consistently exceed quality expectations at an affordable price.

Gambling as Economic Policy
Gould, Ellen, Canadian Dimension
THE RAPID PLUNGE OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY INTO a seemingly bottomless pit has caused extreme insecurity worldwide. In Canada, where two years ago you were considered a foot if you were not in on the stock market and housing boom, many are now facing economic ruin for not getting out early enough and taking on too much debt. Either way, people can be plagued with self-doubt: if only they were smarter, if only they understood this complex financial stuff better, they could have made the right bets at the right time.
The recent confession by Alan Greenspan to a U.S. congressional committee that the behaviour of banks had left him in a "state of shocked disbelief" should help people cut themselves some slack about their lack of financial foresight. Greenspan is the former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, and used to command such confidence in his financial acumen that he was called "The Oracle."
Not any more. Greenspan is being criticized for being one of the architects of the current catastrophe. His fierce opposition in the late 1990s to regulation of risky financial products, voiced with his characteristic arrogance, intimidated the U.S. government from taking steps that might have prevented financial markets from blowing up.
Greenspan conceded in his testimony he may have been "partially" wrong in his belief that financial institutions' self-interest (Greenspan is a fan of libertarian Ayn Rand) would keep them from acting recklessly. This half-hearted apology seems particularly callous with 6.5 million American families facing foreclosure over the next five years, and so many people across the globe losing their jobs.
It is important, though, to understand what the current crisis is not about. Contrary to Republican Party claims, it is not about giving poor Americans access to housing by allowing those with few assets to qualify for mortgages. Most of the people inveigled to take out subprime mortgages in the U.S. were already homeowners. If the only government response to this fiasco is tighter mortgage standards, bank bailouts and the few modest regulatory reforms people like Greenspan are suggesting, the world really is in for very deep trouble.
The U.S. Model: Creating Demand, Suppressing Wages
The economic model that led the U.S., and now the rest of the world, into this mess has two fundamental aspects. One we are familiar with. It is the face of people losing their homes as "innovations" in mortgage lending set them up for foreclosure when the housing market declined.
The other facet is more obscure. It is the world of shadow banking, where financial products are exchanged in unregulated markets, with no-one knowing for certain how many trillions of dollars are involved. There is the potential for both eye-popping gains and spectacular losses, creating huge systemic risks.
You can find some ironic statements about the virtues of this system from the era when Bush Administration officials used to swan around the world telling other countries to follow its model. For example, in 2002 Deputy Treasury Secretary Kenneth Dam was in South Korea as part of an administration campaign called "Engines of Growth." This campaign was an effort to get other countries to restructure their financial sectors along American lines.
Dam touted the benefits as follows:
"Just look at the United States. Our financial sector is the backbone of our economy. During last year's U.S. economic slowdown, for example, it was innovations in our financial sector ... that helped fuel the economic recovery we are currently experiencing. It was access to new mortgage products that kept U.S. consumers spending and sophisticated debt instruments that kept businesses investing."
A combination of policies has contributed to suppressing wages in the U.S. so that "new mortgage products" were needed to keep average Americans spending. These policies include: right-to-work and other anti-union legislation that have forced U. …

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The University of Alabama football team wrapped up its first game week preparation of the 2004 season with a 90-minute workout Thursday afternoon.
"We ended up our preparation physically today," Alabama head coach Mike Shula said. "We went longer than we wanted too. We slowed our tempo down a little bit and sometimes that is hard for guys to do because their minds slow down a little bit and we weren't quite as sharp as we wanted to be."
The Crimson Tide worked in helmets and shorts and focused on a number of situations that may arise in the season opener.
"Overall, it was good," Shula added. "We covered a lot of situations. These first few games we have to make sure on the sidelines you have great communication. Guys understand when they need to go in the game. All the little things, especially the pres snap stuff. As we saw in the USC game, there were a lot of things that are going to be called early, so we have to make sure we are lined up right. Those are obviously things that can help beat you, and we don't want to do that.
"Our guys are focused and we have about 48 hours to think about what we have to get done on Saturday night."
The Crimson Tide will open its 110th season of football at 6 p.m. (CT) this Saturday, Sept. 4 against the Utah State Aggies in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The game will be televised on a pay-per-view basis.

Bottom Line
Designing a successful training and development program that changes behavior and impacts the business typically involves a sequence of seven high-level phases: business objective identification, training needs assessment, learning objective creation, instructional design development, implementation, follow-through and measurement.
Well before any actual learning occurs, you must determine the "five W's and an H" (who, what, when, where, why and how) of training from the perspective of your key stakeholders - the business, the participants and their bosses.
Effective training needs assessment services pinpoint root causes, create stakeholder alignment, initiate and enable the change process and target professional development components that matter most to the individual, the team and the business.
The three most common situations that call for a training needs assessment include:
To gauge your success on any training needs assessment services initiative, always strive to measure and move at least one of the following key metrics:

Woman charged with harassing neighbors, again
A 75-year-old woman who awaits trial on allegations that she was harassing her neighbors is at it again, according to Sugarloaf Township police.
In August 2011, township police charged Theresa Gordon Isabella with 78 criminal violations, including multiple counts each of forgery, stalking and harassment. She awaits trial on those charges in Luzerne County Court and had been free on $35,000 unsecured bail.
In August 2008, township police began receiving complaints from Isabella's neighbors James and Heather Yurick, who alleged Isabella put feces on their property, threw walnuts at their home and made obscene gestures toward them, an affidavit of probable cause states. Police also alleged that Isabella sent hundreds of mailings to James and Heather Yurick and their family members, for which they were billed.
Since that time James Yurick and his father, James Yurick Sr.; his stepmother, Sally Amato, Letha Harmon and Charmaine Maynard received mailings and billing statements, so police filed a new criminal case against Isabella this month.
She is charged with 12 counts of forgery, five counts of stalking and 12 counts of harassment. She attended her preliminary arraignment before Magisterial District Judge Daniel O'Donnell on Nov. 21. O'Donnell set bail at $10,000 straight and Isabella was remanded to prison when unable to immediately post that amount, a court docket states.

I read the previous review prior to purchasing this pattern but it was so cute and I could not imagine that what she said was correct, I should have paid more attention to the review. This pattern is just a real size picture of the quilt. There are no pattern pieces at all. I could have accomplished the same task by just enlarging the picture, save your money. Just blow up the picture and cut your pattern from that. Same amount of work, less money.
March 13, 2015
I love this cute pattern. However, you have to copy over the pattern. There are no separate sheets of each area of the animals to use for cutting out. I'm not sure I would have ordered the pattern if I had known this. It's taking a while to do this. For $15.00, those separate pattern pieces should have been included as they have in all my other pattern purchases.

3 Reviews for Cider-Glazed Roots with Cinnamon Walnuts
Instead of baking this in the oven I put the vegetables and cider ingredients in my slow cooker on low for about 8 hours. (I did stir it a few times during the day) It came out awesome, and I didn't need to use up any of my precious oven space.
Turnips are not people's favorite food, but this recipe is magic. I got a bunch of turnips from my local CSA and tried this recipe out along with a bag of baby carrots - pretty much to use up the veggies I had in the fridge. I reduced the butter (I used a tsp of Earth Balance) doubled the cinnamon and it was fantastic. I only had apple juice (not cider) and it worked just fine.

Haiti: Duvalier Ruling Disappoints Justice

A Haitian judge's decision to dismiss the case against former president-for-life Jean-Claude Duvalier for grave human rights violations ignores Haiti's international obligation to prosecute such crimes, Human Rights Watch said today.
According to press reports, Investigative Judge Carvés Jean, following the recommendation of Haiti's state prosecutor, ruled on January 30, 2012, that Duvalier should not stand trial for murder, assassination, and torture, or for extreme corruption under his rule. Jean ruled, however, that Duvalier could stand trial for misappropriation of public funds. Duvalier, who ruled Haiti from 1971 to 1986 and was known as Baby Doc, returned to the country on January 16, 2011, after nearly 25 years in exile. Within days of his return, he was charged with financial and human rights crimes.
"This wrong-headed decision, if upheld on appeal, would entrench Haiti's culture of impunity by denying justice for Duvalier's thousands of victims," said Reed Brody, special counsel for Human Rights Watch. "Haiti has an obligation to its people to investigate and prosecute the grave violations of human rights under Duvalier's rule."
During Duvalier's era, Haiti was marked by systematic human rights violations. Hundreds of political prisoners held in a network of prisons known as the "triangle of death" died from mistreatment or were victims of extrajudicial killings. Duvalier's government repeatedly closed independent newspapers and radio stations. Journalists were beaten, in some cases tortured, jailed, and forced to leave the country.
Duvalier is also alleged to have embezzled between $300 million and $800 million of assets during his presidency.
A Human Rights Watch report, "Haiti's Rendezvous With History: The Case of Jean-Claude Duvalier," examined the legal and practical questions surrounding the case and concluded that Haiti had an obligation under international law to investigate and prosecute the grave violations of human rights under Duvalier's rule. The report, published in April 2011, also addressed Haiti's capacity to carry out the trial, the question of the statute of limitations, and Duvalier's personal involvement in alleged criminal acts.
According to media reports, the order issued by Jean found that the statute of limitations could be invoked to prevent the case from going to trial. This ruling contravenes the decisions of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, by whose judgments Haiti is legally bound. That court has held repeatedly that in light of states' obligations to investigate and prosecute serious violations under the American Convention on Human Rights, neither statutes of limitations nor amnesty can be applied to gross human rights violations proscribed by international law.
Historical evidence reviewed by Human Rights Watch and included in its April 2011 report establishes that the crimes committed during Duvalier's rule were within the context of a generalized or systematic attack against the civil population and should be recognized as grave violations of human rights under the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court for Human Rights. The victims' lawyers are expected to appeal Jean's ruling.
"The Duvalier trial could be the most important criminal case in Haitian history," Brody said. "This ruling is another reminder that Haiti's justice system has almost always been on the side of the powerful, no matter how gruesome or destructive their crimes. We hope that it will be overturned on appeal."

This site is closed.
Comixxx Archive provides you with a wealth of erotic comics that come from all over the world. Many different styles and themes are explored here, so if you're a fan of comics and sex, then there's a good chance you'll like what you see.
The best thing about ComixxxArchive might be the fact that it gives you 3,372 comics without forcing you to find a place to store them all. Having a sizeable collection of comics of my own at home, I know how much space they can take up. Even if you did have the room, you'd eventually run out of space given that a new comic gets added to the website daily. At least, we could say that if it weren't for the fact that they rotate their material.
Besides the English ones, there are German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch comics. An unfortunate consequence of this is that the dialogue is in different languages. It isn't an insurmountable problem though and since comics are primarily a visual medium, you can usually understand what's going on even if you can't quite follow what the characters are saying.
Whether you're a reading a black and white comic with a horror theme or a full-color story about a babe with an addiction to sucking cock, you'll likely be impressed by the quality of the artwork and the size of the images. You can tell that some gifted artists worked on these and their work is usually presented in high-resolution. Save the comics you like in Zip files, so you can enjoy them whenever you want on your home computer.
There are no videos on the website, but that's about the only thing it doesn't have. Just by quickly browsing through a few comics at random, I saw plenty of blowjobs, tons of penetration, sex with demons, masturbation, pissing, fingering, spanking and even some lactation.
Another thing the website isn't lacking is extras. Additional material includes Flash animations and games, other comics and live-action video feeds. There are also bonus sites to explore like Adult Comics World, CG Hotties and Hentai Sex Club.
Only some of the content is exclusive and a membership is pricey, but beyond that there's nothing you can really criticize the site about. With lots of content and great bonuses, Comixxx Archive is a website that you'll want to check out.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Canberra forwards Ian Hindmarsh and Luke Davico are in doubt for Saturday night's National Rugby League clash with Wests Tigers. The pair missed yesterday's one-point victory over St George Illawarra at Kogarah, with second-rower HINDMARSH battling a calf injury and prop Davico struggling to overcome a hand problem.
Raiders physiotherapist Ed Hollis expects the rest of the club's walking wounded to be available for the match at Canberra Stadium against the Tigers, who are coming off a 44-12 thrashing of Cronulla.
The club will welcome back captain Simon Woolford and centre Jamaal Lolesi while second-rower Ruben Wiki is expected to overcome a knee injury and centre Joel Monaghan must receive a medical clearance after being heavily concussed on the weekend.

Seattle, WA: Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center's Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was recently awarded the annual Design Citation from a respected consortium of medical profession organizations. The award was presented to Children's on January 27, 2002, during the annual conference of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) in San Diego.
The Design Citation recognizes an ICU that combines functional design with the humanitarian delivery of critical care through innovative aesthetic and creative design features. In winning the award, Children's was identified as demonstrating a commitment to creating a healing environment, promoting safety and security, and improving efficiency.
"Winning this Design Citation is a reflection of Children's 'high touch, high tech' approach to pediatric care," said Dr. Craig Jackson, Infant Intensive Care Unit Medical Director at Children's. "The physicians and nurses collaborated with a fine architecture group to create an Infant Intensive Care Unit both technologically superior and pioneering in terms of comfort, privacy, and the ability to customize the environment for each patient and family."
As one of the first pediatric hospitals in the nation to adopt this innovative design, Children's allows its staff to focus more on bedside care, and parents and patients to feel more welcome and comfortable. Children's Intensive Care Unit features a compelling, single configuration of newborn units, rather than the traditional "nursery" model of housing newborns in one large room. This design offers increased privacy for patients and families, and enables the medical staff to customize the room environment - including sound, temperature and lighting - for each newborn's individual needs.
The Design Citation was sponsored by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN), the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), and the American Institute of Architects Academy on Architecture for Health (AIA-AAH).
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation.

"To connect the world in responsible and resourceful ways" is the FedEx goal.
As the world's largest express transportation company, FedEx connects organizations and individuals by shipping and receiving goods around the globe. FedEx Canada, like its counterparts in other countries, also uses its existing networks and logistical capacity to help during emergencies, and to give back to the communities where it operates.
FedEx Canada's community relations mission is to "actively support the communities we serve through strategic investment of our people, resources and network." Four have been identified by the company that align with its global priorities:
* Emergency and Disaster Relief
* Pedestrian and Child Safety
* Education
* Health and Human Services
A brief overview of the community work FedEx Canada has accomplished reveals the company's considerable support for corporate responsibility practices. It demonstrates an ability to have global priorities while still maintaining a local presence. The initiatives are relevant, making a positive contribution to the communities where the company operates, and where employees live and work.

Through its existing infrastructure of transportation and logistics, FedEx Canada contributes during times of emergency. Together with partners such as United Way International and Heart to Heart International, and along with staff volunteer time, aid is sent to those in need.
Pedestrian and Child Safety:
FedEx recognizes that a big part of its services consists of trucks on the road in communities. Pedestrian safety is a major priority for the company-specifically, the safety of children. While a global program, FedEx Canada supports Safe Kids Canada by funding educational campaigns that teach children about pedestrian safety. Safe Kids Canada also promotes driver awareness of school zone safety, as well helps support creating more walkable communities.
FedEx Canada is a supporter of two programs by Junior Achievement. The Economics of Staying in School for grade eight, and the Diversity in Action program for grades seven to nine. The company provides both financial support and volunteer help by its employees.
Education isn't limited to in-classroom lessons. In 2010, FedEx Canada sponsored 37 schools through the Greening Canada's School Grounds program. According to the 2010 Citizenship Report, "More than 200 volunteers from the company have participated in one of the company's first EarthSmart Outreach programs. The focus is broader than simply planting trees and shrubs. It plants knowledge within students, teaching them the value of energy saving, carbon sequestration and beautification."
Health and Human Services
Through a long-term partnership with ORBIS International, FedEx supports the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital, which is the world's only fully equipped, state-of-the-art eye surgery and teaching facility; it's housed inside a DC-10 aircraft. The company provides support that aligns with its expertise, which includes: "a maintenance technician who travels with the flying eye hospital, training for volunteer pilots and the shipment of urgently needed medical supplies to program sites all over the world at no charge to ORBIS."
In 2010 4,000 employees volunteered for FedEx Cares Week in 94 cities, amounting to 20,000 hours.
What is unique about the FedEx community relations program is that it is focused and is driven by what the company does best. Employing company resources and knowhow, FedEx Canada employees are able to contribute to their own communities, while also lending a hand to those in need abroad.

Matt Lauer Could Replace Alex Trebek On Jeopardy
By Jessica Rawden 3 years ago comments
Matt Lauer may be able to stay on Today for as long as he wishes, but that may only end up being until his contract runs out. Early rumors are indicating that Lauer is at the top of the pile of names being looked at to potentially take over for Alex Trebek on the long-running series Jeopardy in 2016.
Trebeks health has not been the best in recent years, having had two heart attacks, but the NY Post says he has signed one last three-year contract in order to give Jeopardys production company, Sony Pictures Television, time to find a host. The current frontrunners are Lauer and CNNs Anderson Cooper, who both have contracts coming up for renewal in the next couple of years. According to the outlet, the original idea was to have Lauer pull double duty, but with Lauers tenure on Today up in the air, the man may not have to.
Lauer has come under fire recently after Todays parent network, NBC, botched the removal of Ann Curry from the show, which was also widely credited to Lauers decision-making. Though both the host and NBC have since said the Curry decision is not the 55-year-olds fault, Today has been continuously dropping in the ratings since.
Sony is still in the early stages of the decision-making process, so well have to see how the decision pans out. Either way, I dont think they can go wrong with Lauer or Cooper.

Even with the fire, there have been plenty of positive developments this year at Crestline Elementary School.Of course, students, teachers and parents understandably have had a tough time moving beyond the Feb. 3 blaze that destroyed their school in east Vancouver. But plenty of blessings are counted, starting with the fact that no one was injured in the incident.
Last week brought news of another example of how rapidly Evergreen Public Schools leaders are moving to help the proud pride of Lions move beyond the fire and, ultimately, return to a new Crestline at the old site as soon as the fall of 2014.
As Susan Parrish reported in Friday's Columbian, it appears Evergreen will lease part or all of the old Hewlett-Packard campus at 18004 S.E. 34th St. as a temporary Crestline for the 2013-14 school year. No official decision has been made, and no terms of the lease have been announced, but the clearly defined item is on the agenda of the Evergreen school board's Tuesday meeting. Such a decision would be wise, considering what the old HP site offers:
735,000 square feet (the old Crestline was about 44,000 square feet).
114 acres (the Crestline site is about 11 acres).
An assortment of buildings and rooms that almost sound like a school: six connected buildings, a cafeteria that serves 250, a sports field, a basketball court, exterior courtyards and a community garden.
It's about 31/2 miles from the old Crestline; not close, but actually easier for coordinating a new bus transportation plan.
It's vacant and available. The campus is owned by SEH America, which bought the property from HP after the manufacturer consolidated printer development and marketing operations at the Columbia Tech Center near Southeast Mill Plain Boulevard and 164th Avenue.
The first example of swift administrative action occurred shortly after the February fire. Within a few days — and without dithering or wasting time on bureaucratic overanalysis — Evergreen Superintendent John Deeder and his staff formulated a plan to move Crestline to five other elementary schools. Impressively, they did so while keeping together all students in each grade level. Also impressively, the host school principals, staffs, teachers and students acted quickly to accommodate the sudden influx of 75 or more students at each school.
And now, a plan appears to be emerging to reunite all Crestline Lions back on one temporary campus. And if Evergreen can meet the goal of opening the new Crestline in the fall of 2014, that will be yet another example of swift, decisive action.
Meanwhile, help continues to pour in from local and distant benefactors. A fifth-grade class in Everett sent 1,600 books to help Crestline students. One donor from Texas sent a $500 check with no instructions beyond "Do whatever you need to do to put your school back together."
Students at Crestline continue learning. No big surprise there. But the new, unexpected lessons they're absorbing — about dealing with adversity, and accepting generosity from friends and strangers alike — makes this year in many ways an unforgettably positive experience.

We also know that there are already thousands of dyslexics (learning disabled, or LD) working who have never been identified and could use some help to reach their full potential.
Here are some basic abilities that all dyslexics share, as quoted from the book "The Gift of Dyslexia" by Ronald D. Davis:
1. They can utilize the brain's ability to alter and create perceptions.
2. They are highly aware of the environment.
3. They are more curious than average.
4. They think mainly in pictures instead of words.
5. They are highly intuitive and insightful.
6. They think and perceive multi-dimensionally (using all senses).
7. They can experience thoughts as reality.
8. They have vivid imaginations.
These eight basic abilities, if not suppressed, invalidated or destroyed, will result in two characteristics: higher-than-normal intelligence, and extraordinary creative abilities.

Agreed - UIs always take far more code to produce than database or server side applications. They tend to require more detailed thread handling too, so as to ensure responsiveness and over all user experience. Received on Thu Jun 01 2006 - 13:52:16 CDT

text: FM in private apology over Islam remarks 29 May 2014 The head of Belfast Islamic Centre has said that First Minister Peter Robinson has apologised to him during a private meeting at Stormont Castle. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Mr Robinson met with representatives from Northern Ireland's Muslim community on Thursday evening to set straight comments he made which appeared to defend controversial evangelical pastor James McConnell, whose sermon about Islam is being investigated by police.Dr Raied Al-Wazzan, from the Belfast Islamic Centre, told UTV they had a "frank" discussion with Mr Robinson."We told the First Minister that we are hurt [by] his comments to the Muslim community and [he] privately apologised and we're satisfied with that," he explained."He said 'I am sorry if I hurt any Muslim' and we accept that, and also we invited him to visit the Belfast Islamic Centre and he's kindly agreed to visit us with the deputy First Minister as well."We would like to arrange this visit as soon as possible, to work together as one community to show to the rest of the people of Northern Ireland that there is no hate crime here...and to bring the best to Northern Ireland."I made it very clear that none of my remarks were intended to cause anyone any offence or distress, the last thing I would ever have in my mind would be to cause hurt to anyone and if anyone had interpreted them that way of course, I would apologise.First Minister Peter RobinsonFollowing the meeting, Mr Robinson said the meeting was "useful" and "valuable"."It was an excellent opportunity for me to put in context my views on those matters, to assure them that they were a valued part of our society in Northern Ireland. We recognise the contribution that they had made," Mr Robinson commented."I was able to therefore indicate what my own comments were, I was glad to hear that they hold the same view as I do, that [being] the condemnation of terrorism."Mr Robinson previously insisted his remarks were "misinterpreted and given a meaning that was never intended".A statement from the First Minister earlier said: "I would never seek to cause any insult to any section of our community."I believe in building a peaceful and prosperous Northern Ireland and have always endeavoured to work for the betterment of all the people of Northern Ireland."My remarks, if they are read properly in the context in which they were given, should cause no offence to anyone, if however, people are offended within the Muslim community, I want to meet them to make it very clear what my intentions and my views are.First Minister Peter RobinsonMr Robinson went on to defend Pastor McConnell's "right to freedom of speech".He added: "I will defend his right just as I defend the right of others to express views with which I disagree. People have the right to express their differing views and indeed the essence of democracy is the ability to do so in a way that is free from fear and intimidation."Pastor James McConnell sparked controversy when he likened "cells" of Muslims in Britain to the IRA and described Islam as a "heathen" doctrine which had been "spawned in hell".He made the remarks during a sermon at Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle in Belfast on 18 May and police are investigating a "hate crime motive" in relation to the incident.Pastor McConnell told UTV that he stands by his comments and has rebuffed calls for an apology.The DUP leader weighed in on Wednesday in defence of the pastor, saying it was "the duty of any Christian preacher to denounce false doctrine".Mr Robinson, who attends the church in question, added: "He's perfectly entitled to do that - it's an appropriate thing for a minister to do." He said he did not trust Muslims who were involved in "terrorist activities" or those "fully devoted to Sharia law".Meanwhile the pastor's comments have been condemned by deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and by representatives of the Muslim community in Northern Ireland. © UTV Share Share Share

I am always searching for natural (and more safe) alternatives to coloring my hair, so when I came across a claim on the web that Cinnamon can lighten hair, I was intrigued and had to see for myself. Considering myself to be a bit of a "kitchen chemist", I rarely follow recipes and ended up coming up with my own recipe based off of the many variations that I found on the Internet. This is my own recipe that I came up with:
1/2 c Conditioner (any will do)
1/2 c Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3-4 Tbsp organic cinnamon (I suppose non-organic would be fine too)
Juice from one lemon
Note: The cinnamon will start to "heat" up but it wasn't anything that was unbearable and it only lasted for about 15 minutes. I covered my hair with a plastic cap and slept with the mixture overnight (approx 8 hours). In the morning, I washed with a clarifying shampoo (twice because the cinnamon was VERY hard to get out) and then followed up with a 15 minute deep condition.
In a nutshell, it WORKS! My hair is at least 2 shades lighter, and it even boosted my naturally red highlights. As an added bonus my hair felt so incredibly soft, and smelled delicious! The results are pretty amazing! See for yourself 🙂
About my hair:
Type – 4A/ Coily pattern
Strands – Fine
Porosity – High
****Remember that everyone will have different results!!!****

Carbon Monoxide safety information
With the recent CO incident here in Pocatello, many questions are being asked about how to prevent and mitigate CO hazards.
What is CO?
CO is a byproduct of incomplete combustion. CO sources can include malfunctioning appliances such as furnaces, stoves, ovens and water heaters that operate by burning fossil fuels such as natural or liquefied petroleum (LP). When malfunctioning appliances are not adequately ventilated, the amount of CO in the air may rise to a level that can cause illness or even death.
What are the symptoms?
CO poisoning victims may initially suffer flu-like symptoms including nausea, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, confusion and breathing difficulty. CO poisoning often causes a victim's blood pressure to rise, turning the victim's skin a pink or red cast.
How can a CO incident be avoided?
The most important steps are preventive. Have a qualified service professional inspect your fuel-burning appliances at least once a year. Install UL Listed CO alarms outside of sleeping areas and near all fuel-burning appliances.
Other precautions include:
• Avoid using charcoal grills inside a home, tent, camper, or in an unventilated garage.
• Do not allow vehicle exhaust fumes to enter the home.
• Make sure all fuel-burning appliances are properly ventilated.
What do I look for in a CO alarm?
Rather than looking for specific features, look for the UL Mark or other independent laboratories with the adjacent phrase "Single Station Carbon Monoxide Alarm."
How is a CO alarm installed and maintained?
Follow the installation instructions found in the manufacturer's use and care booklet that accompanies the product. Proper installation is an important factor in receiving optimal performance. It is important to follow these instructions step by step in their entirety.
CO alarms need to be tested regularly and cleaned as indicated in the manufacturer's use and care booklet. If the unit operates off a battery, test the detector weekly and replace the battery at least once a year.
What to do if the CO alarm sounds:
Immediately operate the reset/silence button and call emergency services (fire department or 911).
Move outside . Check to make sure that everyone in your household is present. Do not re-enter the premises until the emergency services have arrived, the premises have been sufficiently ventilated, and your CO alarm remains in its normal condition.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Gidday from Down Under http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50372&th=10006#msg_50372 <![CDATA[Hey everyone,

 Great work - I have enjoyed looking through the Shapeways site at all your clever designs, photographs and stories. I have done my best to match the high standard with my own designs and shop. This is my first forum post and although I have known about Shapeways for just six months I was waiting till I had finished Stage One of my SplyneWinder project before introducing myself. My name is John Reeves Taylor and this is my story.

 When I sat down in front of my computer in Dec 2011 as I do almost every day, it started out just like any other day, emails, spreadsheets, web browsing, accounts, phone calls all those things that keep a business operating. I'm an export consultant and I help my clients access $ from the Federal Govt. here in Oz. What was different on that day and why I am introducing myself to you all, is because on that day I discovered ShapeWays 3D print online marketplace and just thought that was about the best idea ever.

 My interest in design was instantly revitalized ( I studied Industrial Design along time ago and earned my degree from the University of South Australia) I haven't practiced design for a long time. In those days computers were barely available on a desktop and the idea of 3D printing was quite literally in its infancy. When I was at design school 3D printing was the future and here it is and it is very cool.

 I was inspired by all the different designs that everyone in the SW community has created, by the opportunity to make and sell, by the licensing model offered by Shapeways and I desired "having a go" myself. My SplyneWinder range of rolling toys is imbued with that desire and created with that inspiration.

 I just love the idea of creating a design uploading the file and having Shapeways print in my material of choice and I even enjoy the wait for UPS to deliver my 3d print, it is exciting (I usually hate waiting for anything). Yes they even deliver to Australia. (Costs $20 and that hurts.)

 In the process I have learnt to use some 3D software learnt about mesh and stl files and new materials, blogs and online promotion techniques (I was encouraged and motivated by Duann's seemingly never ending suggestions of how to present promote and benefit from the Shapeways opportunity) I've taken photos, made movies, uploaded and downloaded and generally had a fun time and I am looking forward to lots more. I have opened a shop played with my kinetic 3D prints and sold some product. All good!

 I have received great support from the Shapeways Service Team along the way and couldn't have done it without their help. Thanks to Ralph, Maartje, Kevin, Christel, Joost, Michon, Mitchell and Gary. Especially Mitchell for his patience with my endless questions about how to do stuff and helping when things went wrong or I didn't understand.

 If you have the time ...

 Cheers everyone,

 John Reeves Taylor

 Great to see another Aussie, I came to shapeways in late 2010 but have only recently come back. I agree the shipping can seem a little expensive but i hate waiting longer than i have to so would probably pay for the ups sipping option anyway.

 Your products look very interesting and i look forward to videos of seeing them in action]]> robogumby 2012-06-27T09:08:41-00:00 Re: Gidday from Down Under http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50431&th=10006#msg_50431 <![CDATA[Hi RoboGumby,

 Thanks for the feedback.

 I didn't know - is there an alternative to UPS?

 Video at YouTube

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idrh1hfqpHA

 If you like video - can you share via twitter or your face-book hoping to get most views etc Not sure if there is protocol around asking others to share - thought I would ask and you tell me if a problem.

 I did put these links in my Introduction post and they didn't show up Bummer!

 I do like your prints. I am interested in geometry shapes and have another product exploiting that opportunity - it is called connectawz and I intend to launch within the next 12 months - all being well. What software are you working with?

 There is currently no alternative to UPS. In the very start of shapeways they did free shipping to Australia. That has long since changed.
 As for software. I use several applications Topmod 3d, blender and an old version 3ds max.
 Design process is quite varied from pencil sketches, pipe cleaners, balsa wood or just doodling in 3d.

 Very nice shop. Not everybody goes to such length with their setup. Nicely done.

 And some interesting toys, too

 Thank you for your feedback and for the welcome.

 I had noticed difference re how others arrange their set up and I was keen to do as good a job as I could - mainly to push the limits or my understanding - in the process i learnt a lot.

 I see that you are into miniatures and in particular aircraft - very impressive - I am left wondering how you get such good detail at that size and with the limitations (minimum thickness) of 3D printing. I also really like the idea of printing groups of models - clever idea]]> JohnReevesTaylor 2012-06-28T08:30:19-00:00 Re: Gidday from Down Under http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50513&th=10006#msg_50513 <![CDATA[Hi John

 The rendered picture has whatever details you design in your tool
 Some of the detail you see on my renders is at the lower level of the printing resolution and you can see it only vaguely on the actual prints. So the rendered picture is about as true as any advertisement
 But I certainly don't design details that are far below what will come out - too much work.

 The other issue are the design rules, especially thin walls. With experience, you learn where you can thicken parts while the item still looks good and what parts should be better left off.

 The idea to make several models as a group isn't mine  "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

 Greetings
 Karl Heinz

 I didn't stop to think that these were renders - that explains it all.

 I have seen the mew possibilities in shapeways labs which can enable sets to be sold does that work for your ideas?

Since the new update my auto complete fails Can anyone help to get it working again.
Windows 7
Zimbra Desktop 7.1.4 GA (build 11299)
Wow 50 views and no one has a answer. I tried to do a repair than tried to uninstall and that didn't work. I would switch to another email client but my Rocketmail account only works on Zimbra. :confused:
Here's a little more incite, if I type in a few letters or numbers in the to:, cc: or bcc: box then highlight them then type the letter of the person I want to email the autocomplete will work and only work with my Rocketmail account. Will not work with my Comcast or other yahoo account. I uninstalled and reinstalled although the last repair I did got me where I am at now. Also the too,cc and bcc boxes are grayed out except with the method used by highlighting the text in the to: box.
This is known issue, so no need to reinstall.
I found a work around for autocompleat that makes it work for me because apparently no one else has the problem. Only certain letters will work for autocompleat. The letters that dont work are as follows. e f h z x v n q w y u i o all other letters will work. Just a little strange wouldnt you say. I hope this bit of info will help the developers. Also my TO, CC and BCC buttons only work for my Rocketmail standard account.
Comcast and my AT&T yahoo buttons dont work.
I am also getting autocomplete failed message on Zimbra Desktop running on Win 7 Pro. It seems to work OK on Win XP machines - although Zimbra will NOT run at all on the virtual XP setup under Win 7 pro. I have tried setting the "run as admin" on as many .exe type files in the Zimbra program directory as I can identify, but no luck so far. I am logged in using an admin account so that shouldn't be an issue. Once again, thanks to Microsoft for helping us out by fixing something that probably wasn't even broken. I'm thinking seriously of just going back to XP as the fine folks at Zimbra don't seem to be getting a solution to this out real fast. And I consider it a fairly severe problem. (Zimbra Desktop 7.1.4 GA (build 11299))
It started to work on its own like I stated over 2 weeks ago but it has stop again.
I so want to quit this email client but its the only one I've found that will work with my none plus account with Rocketmail and I don't want to pay $20 for a plus account. Does anyone know of a email client that will work.

Hospital Decides It's Not Safe Enough for Midwivestoddler-times
A California hospital has decided it's not safe enough for midwives – so they've kicked the healthcare practitioners out the door, and their patients along with them.
St. John's Pleasant Valley Hospital told certified nurse midwives they'll have to see their patients at a sister facility eleven miles away from now on. According to the Ventura County Star, that sister facility has a NICU, which hospital adminstrators say the midwives need as "back up."
To which the thousands of women who opt for a midwife assisted birth in a hospital say, "huh?"
Midwives are traditionally the choice for women who are at low-risk for complications. Responsible for delivering eight percent of the nation's babies (ninety-six percent in hospital settings – we're not debating the safety of home birth here), certified nurse midwives have even been shown in some studies to reduce the risk of infant and newborn deaths.
With a CNM, the rate of C-sections for low-risk births is lower than with their OB/GYN counterparts, and the care is generally more hands-on, more in touch with the patient during labor and delivery. For women who want the hospital setting but don't need the doctor, midwives are a perfect solution. As their name implies, they're midway between the two worlds.
So why would midwives need a NICU back up? The statistics would point to them being at the lowest risk of delivering a baby who would land in a NICU. OB/GYNs, called more often to assist at higher risk births, are still free to practice as they please at St. John's.
It sounds like someone is doing a little chest thumping. Doctor. Good. Nurse. Bad.
Why do midwives still get the bad rap when statistics have helped prove their mettle? Is it because we still think more intervention is better or is does it come down – as some commentors on the Ventura article noted – to misogyny?

A former police chief is accused of embezzlement.
A Beaufort County grand jury indicted former Aurora Police Chief Willis Watts on two counts of obstruction of justice, one count of embezzlement by an officer, and one count of embezzlement.
The indictments say between May 2010 and January 2011, Watts is accused of taking a browning rifle that was in police possession. The obstruction of justice warrants say the former chief made false statements to Senior Resident Superior Judge Wayland Sermons in an order for disposition of the weapon.
To read the indictments, click on the link at the top of the story.
In August of 2011, Mayor Cliff Williams told WITN that Watts was fired but wouldn't release further details.
Prior to Aurora, Willis was a police officer in Washington for two years, from May 2008 to May 2010. According to the Attorney General's Office, Watts no longer holds a general law enforcement certification in the state.

Ever wanted a way to check whether the line collides with an instance, pixel-by-pixel, without killing the framerate? Methods already exist, but most are not very efficient as the distance increases, some are not even efficient on small distances like 100px... This script can successfully cast 180 rays and keep an fps of 94 on my machine!
What is ray-tracing?
It's a process of following a ray (line), looking for information we're interested in. In this case, the ray is casted and is looking for a collision with an object specified.
How come your script is so "efficient"???
It creates multiple chunks of the ray, checks for each line is it colliding. If the line collides, it checks for each pixel for where the exact position is.
What's your script's performance?
This is a chart that shows my PC's performance using the script.
Left shows how many rays can be casted under what FPS, while drawing a primitive connecting each collision point.
Right shows the exact same, but without drawing the primitive.
900 Rays casted, each running an average of around 200 pixels in distance, doing it 12 times in one second with my script...
Same that, but with traditional way of ray-tracing takes 4-5 seconds!
You're lying!
In yer face!
UPDATE! Mirror (fixed gmk) by Newly Discovered:
Run in debug mode, so you can watch your frame-rate!
First room of the example consists of one ray, looking for collision with the spinning object.
Left mouse click controls the position of the object.
Pressing Space bar switches from normal ray-tracing to my advanced ray-tracing.
Enter leads you to the next room...
Second room consists of an object controllable by left click.
It fires multiple rays, depending on resolution specified in the object.
It also draws a primitive connecting every collision point. It looks like that object's field of vision =D
Omg awesome, now, can you provide a script in txt format here please?... Maybe also tell us what each argument stands for?
/* Args: 0 = angle at which the ray is running (real) 1 = object the ray is seeking (object name) 2 = maximum distance the ray will travel (real) 3 = chunk size. The length of lines the ray is divided (real) */ var i, a, _x, _y, _x2, _y2; _x2=x _y2=y if collision_point(x,y,argument1,1,1) { off_x=x off_y=y exit; } for (i=1;i<argument2;i+=argument3) { _x=x+lengthdir_x(i,argument0) _y=y+lengthdir_y(i,argument0) if collision_line(_x2,_y2,_x,_y,argument1,1,1) { for (a=i-argument3;a<argument2;a+=1) { _x=x+lengthdir_x(a,argument0) _y=y+lengthdir_y(a,argument0) if collision_point(_x,_y,argument1,1,1) { off_x=_x off_y=_y return true; exit; } } } _x2=_x _y2=_y } off_x=_x off_y=_y return false;
Cheers! =D
