The basic facts of what happen in a house fire are eye-opening.
The first part of this slideshow will illustrate the frightening realities of a burning home; the temperatures that can be reached, the toxic gasses that are produced and how quickly it all happens.
The second part of this slideshow reviews lessons you can teach your children that could help them escape a burning home.
All of the information contained here is from the U.S. Fire Administration, which is a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Fact 1: A house fire can happen quickly. And the smoke, heat and flames can be overwhelming and disorienting.
Fact 2: According to the U.S. Fire Administration, in less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. Thick black smoke can fill a house in minutes.
Fact 3: Most fires occur in the home when people are asleep. If you wake up to a fire, you won't have time to do anything other than escape.
Fact 4: A fire's heat alone can kill. Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise to 600 degrees at eye level. Inhaling this super hot air will scorch your lungs.
Fact 5: The heat from a house fire can melt clothes to your skin. In five minutes a room can get so hot that everything in it ignites at once: this is called flashover.
Fact 6: Fire starts bright, but quickly produces black smoke and complete darkness.
Fact 7: If you wake up to a fire you may be blinded, disoriented and unable to find your way around the home you've lived in for years.
Fact 8: Fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases that kill. Breathing even small amounts of smoke and toxic gases can make you drowsy, disoriented and short of breath.
Fact 9: The odorless, colorless fumes can lull you into a deep sleep before the flames reach your door. You may not wake up in time to escape. This is just one reason why smoke detectors are so important.
Here are the things you can teach your children about escaping a burning home.
Stress that it's important to get out fast.
When faced with frightening and stressful situations, children sometimes hide. It should be stressed that they should never hide or take time to gather up their toys or other belongings during a fire.
Fires are scary and confusing. They can be loud, burn very fast and their smoke can make a room or home very dark. Practice feeling your way out with your eyes closed.
It helps to have a plan to know what to do if there is a fire and to get out fast.
Be sure to stress the importance of planning for two ways out in case one way is blocked by fire.
Before opening any door in a fire, feel it first. If it is hot, there may be fire on the other side. Try to get out another way.
Crawl low on the floor to avoid heat, smoke and fumes. Never stand up in a fire and try to keep your mouth covered.
Pick a safe and easy-to-remember place outside the home to meet the rest of the family.
Call 911 after escaping from the fire.
Stay outside no matter what; don't go back for anything.
Children should practice escape plans every month. The best plans have two ways to get out of each room.
And remember to regularly check your smoke detectors. And be sure to look for the expiration date, as shown above.

Year in review: #8 The taxman goeth
Income tax revenue has lagged behind anticipations for many Luzerne County municipalities this year due to a breakdown at a company collecting income taxes.
Following a state mandate, counties, municipalities and school districts created a tax collection committee and chose a single firm, Centax, to collect income taxes this year.
For the first half of the year, Centax collected and distributed taxes for every town and school district in the county. But the company's distributions didn't keep pace with what municipalities were expecting and, by the middle of the year, the tax collection committee fired Centax.
Now, another company, H. A. Berkheimer, is collecting income taxes and is also working to distribute the backlog of income taxes Centax handled incorrectly.
To make up the difference, some municipalities took out loans, raised taxes, laid off employees or cut services.
Some taxpayers have also been waiting for their refunds, and the news for them is not good: If you still haven't received your refund, you could be waiting for six months to a year.

the real process is long, but you can cheat a little. Find some heavy stock paper - soak it in tea/coffee/soy/or other dark liquids. If you want additional aging - you can gently crumple it while wet and then smoothe it out to dry afterwards.

Robert Cary's "Save Me" is hardly the incendiary, ripped-from-the-headlines passion play that a short description of it might imply. And indeed its poster, depicting its star, Chad Allen, skull-capped and mouth slightly agape, pointing an inverted cross to his temple, revolver-style, likewise promises a scorching take-down of bullying American fundamentalism. Yet "Save Me" isn't a teeth-bared addition to the culture wars; surprisingly docile and rigorously even-handed in its portrait of a New Mexico Christian sexual "re-education" house for men, Cary and screenwriter Robert Desiderio are not courting controversy as much as curiously surveying a state of mind. Though the film is too hung up on tidy explanations and often seems desperate to create clear and quantifiable motivations for its characters' actions (there's a certain Screenwriting 101 going on here), "Save Me" is appealing in its refusal to demonize any of it characters.
The greatest beneficiary of this benevolent attitude is undoubtedly Gayle, the founder and den mother of Genesis House, a home for homosexuals wishing to free themselves of their "unholy desires," nestled in the sun-dappled New Mexico hills like an oasis -- or a mirage. As played, impressively, by Judith Light, Gayle is hardly your garden-variety big-screen bible thumper, but rather a truly nurturing, if undoubtedly wayward soul.
Even though Gayle is burdened with back story (she lost a gay teenaged son to suicide, and thus made it her mission to save others from a similar fate), Light burrows into her with a tortured dignity, thoroughly inhabiting a pedant who puts her admirable maternal instinct to bad use. Christian charity and forgiveness is the order of the day, not brainwashing, and her self-righteousness comes out in little passive-aggressive spurts, as when she gently asks whether a shirt one of her lodgers is wearing is too pink.
"Save Me" might have been more fully realized if it had focused fully on Gayle (as well as on her partner, Ted, played by underused character actor Stephen Lang, with whom Light shares a sweet and natural intimacy in their few scenes together). Instead, the film is more dedicated to the love that blossoms between new Genesis acolyte Mark (Chad Allen) and regular boarder Scott (Robert Gant). Introduced speeding down a dusty highway, snorting coke, before rocketing into some sweaty bumping and grinding in a seedy motel with a hard-bodied trick, Mark is a burn-out forced to enter Gayle's halfway house by his religious, fed-up brother. A case couldn't be made for Cary's subtlety in outlining his characters: Mark screaming for his mother on an underlit hospital floor cuts immediately to the gentle Scott building a birdhouse on Genesis's expansive, radiant desert property.
Yet Cary's broad strokes are perfectly applicable to what is essentially a cursorily topical melodrama; ultimately, taskmaster Gayle tearily watches from the sidelines as a classical forbidden-love scenario takes over. Cary, whose last film was the relationship comedy "Ira and Abbey," shows real affection for his two romantic leads, and it must be said how refreshing it is to see two out actors, such as Allen and Gant (most recognizable from their TV work on, respectively, "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and "Queer as Folk"), enact a wholly convincing, if too often detoured, love affair.
Allen, with his sorrowful wide-set eyes, has an appealingly rough, seen-it-all demeanor that belies his youth, but Gant's sensitive everyguy masculinity is what gives the coupling its real power and sex appeal. Despite the film's occasional mawkishness (which is highlighted by an oppressive litany of lousy pop songs), Gant and Light turn something bordering on schematic and sentimental into an articulate pocket portrait of genuinely difficult emotions.

Channel Nine, Wednesday and Thursday, 8pm
There is absolutely nothing subtle about The Celebrity Apprentice, a competition in which the players who exhibit the qualities necessary to succeed in business, as defined by finance-company boss Mark Bouris, are rewarded.
Overkill is the order of the day. Everything is laid on with a trowel, pumped up to bursting point and served with extra cheese. And then, just in case we missed it, it's repeated.
Sidelong glances are edited to look like murderous glares. Minor disagreements about strategy are depicted as catastrophic eruptions. The attention lavished on sponsors is excessive and shameless. The deference with which Mr Bouris, aka "Sir", is addressed in the boardroom looks less like respect than obsequious brown-nosing, and the gravity with which boardroom activity is conducted suggests the participants are negotiating peace in the Middle East rather than playing a game.
However, none of this makes the shenanigans any less entertaining. When the kitsch trappings are stripped away, The Celebrity Apprentice, like Survivor, is an exercise in group dynamics and how to negotiate challenges. It's about how to balance ambition and individual initiative with being a team player; how to lead without stomping all over your teammates, and how to claim credit without belittling the contributions of others.
As it's also a reality TV show, it requires drama and conflict - and, in this second season, that's largely been provided by self-aggrandising conflict magnet Tania Zaetta and the preening powder puff that is "The Hoff" (for the uninitiated, that's beached former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff).
Predictably - as the most entertaining contestants are often the most annoying for the other players - both have exited the show. However, the season has provided some happy surprises, from the pluckiness of Patti Newton to the nice-guy canniness of Nathan Jolliffe. Ian "Dicko" Dickson has emerged as smart and strategic, and straight-talking Charlotte Dawson has proved lots of fun.
The Celebrity Apprentice works hard to create the impression that it's all about doing good works, that the players are competing less for personal glory than to raise money for their nominated charities. That means people who could be regarded as desperate attention-seekers, perhaps trying to reignite stalled careers via the exposure, can portray their participation as altruistic.
This week, two shows will whittle the remaining apprentices down to two finalists. The challenges involve devising an ad campaign for a luxury-car company and composing a song to raise money for charity.
Hmm, that second one does seem nicely tailored to suit "music guru" Dicko's skill set.

National off-road racing champion Scott Summers elected to AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame
July 01, 2014
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Scott Summers, who famously raced Honda XR600Rs to nine American Motorcyclist Association national off-road racing championships, has been elected to the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Class of 2014.
Summers, who was elected to the Off-Road Competition category, will be inducted at the 2014 AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Friday, Oct. 17, in Orlando, Fla. The induction ceremony is part of the AMA National Convention being held in conjunction with the American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) Oct. 16-19. Tickets for the convention and the induction ceremony go on sale soon. Stay tuned to
for updates.
"Scott Summers not only won off-road championships in some of the most challenging tight woods terrain, but he did so his way -- competing on a motorcycle that most others appreciated for its proficiency in wide-open desert racing," said Ken Ford, a member of the Hall of Fame executive committee and treasurer of the AMA board of directors. "Scott won and thrived, becoming one of the most prolific off-road champions in AMA-sanctioned national championship competition, and in the process helped introduce a new level of professionalism to off-road racing in America."
Summers, from Petersburg, Ky., won the 1990, 1991 and 1992 Grand National Cross Country championships racing a Honda XR600R against riders on much lighter and more agile motorcycles. After a three-year GNCC dry spell, Summers reclaimed the AMA national No. 1 plate in 1996 and successfully defended his title the following year. Summers also won four AMA Harescrambles National Championships in 1990, 1991, 1993 and 1995. In addition, he collected three gold medals competing for the U.S. team at the International Six Days Enduro.
"I'm humbled and honored, but to be honest, I feel like any success I achieved was a result of a group effort," Summers said. "I was surrounded by some visionary people who contributed to my racing -- my dad, Wade, was instrumental in persuading me that four-strokes could be competitive and my friend, Fred Bramblett, was my mechanic, my business manager, my agent and my publicist. I was blessed in that I don't know if any off-road racer ever had the support that I had. I don't feel like I'm responsible for all the accolades that I received while competing, and I'm happy to share the limelight with all those who drove my success."
Summers earned a reputation for versatility and skill for racing a big four-stroke Honda that was primarily designed for high-speed, open terrain, such as desert competition. The series where Summers competed were contested mostly in tight, rocky woods in the eastern United States.
Although Summers acknowledged that the XR600R had a weight disadvantage compared to the much smaller two-strokes ridden by his rivals, he noted that the Honda's smoother power delivery and torque gave him a performance edge.
"In 1982, I got a Honda XR200 for Christmas, and I fell in love with the type of power that bike made," he said. "There came a day when I felt I was capable of going faster than that bike would let me. That was in 1985 when I got an XR600. It was very similar to the XR200, only much more in every way. I loved the power characteristics, and it more than compensated for the fact that I was riding a bike 50-100 pounds heavier than the other bikes. Because of the smooth power, I could relax more, and that paid big benefits during a three-hour race."
Summers is the fourth member of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame class of 2014 to be announced. He joins three previously announced inductees: motocross pioneer Pierre Karsmakers, racer and motorcycling advocate Tom White, and museum and racetrack founder George Barber. The remaining 2014 inductees will be announced in random order in the coming weeks.
AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famers are selected through a nomination and voting procedure that includes ballots cast by living Hall of Fame members, members of the American Motorcyclist Association and AMHF boards of directors, and members of, and advisers to, the Hall of Fame category committees.

Joy abounds in a glorious showcase of diverse seasonal offerings in "A Carnegie Hall Christmas Concert." Featuring four of the music world's brightest and most versatile stars, the event had roots in several worlds and reflected the profusion of musical genres that have echoed for over a century in the inviting warmth of this great hall.
Merrily decked out in Christmas finery, Carnegie greeted some of America's most brilliant artists, who in themselves demonstrate a wealth of diverse talents: soprano Kathleen Battle and mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade, two of opera's most gifted stars, who have also found success in the non-operatic repertoire; the Wynton Marsalis Septet, led by the world's pre-eminent jazz and classical trumpeter; the multi-talented maestro Andre Previn, at home in so many areas of music as a conductor, composer and pianist, and here directing The Orchestra Of St. Luke's; harpist Nancy Allen; the youthful members of the American Boychoir, and the Christmas Concert Chorus of celebrated choral master Robert De Cormier. Adding to the festivities were Miss Battle and Miss von Stade's gowns, brightly shining in complimentary Christmas red and green, and the three huge murals, framed by the moldings of the stage's rear panels and inspired by Russian lacquer boxes; two rural snow-scenes flanking a tableau of reindeer in harness.
Clip from DVD
While the concert's program came from many lands, the gala also celebrated the vast ethnic variety of Christmas traditions in the United States, as exhibited in two full ensemble medleys – one international, the other distinctly American, reflecting both African and European traditions.
The musical genres and styles were as varied as the nationalities. Miss Battle easily encompassed the earthy fervor of African-American spirituals, the pristine coloratura virtuosity of Mozart's "Alleluja" from Exsultate jubilate and the cabaret intimacy of Marsalis' "Silent Night" arrangement; Miss von Stade proceeded with equal aplomb from the Renaissance solemnity of Praetorius' "Lo, How a Rose" (an arrangement with the unaccompanied choruses), to the delightful "My Favorite Things" and the rustic simplicity of "I Wonder As I Wander." Both ladies brought persuasive verve to the calypso lilt of "Mary's Little Boy Chile," while throughout, Wynton Marsalis interpolated poignant trumpet commentaries.
The Mozart "Alleluja," the naively angelic "Evening Prayer" from Humperdinck's Hansel und Gretel, and Reger;s folk-based "Maria Wiegenlied" ("Lullaby of Mary") represented the classical world with which Misses Battle and von Stade are most closely associated. Mr. Marsalis' brought a progressive jazz perspective to old favorites such as "Joy To The World" and "Winter Wonderland" and an ingenious inventiveness to "We Three Kings," in which Marsalis' trumpet riffs shared the limelight with Herbert Harris' soprano saxophone improvisations. The more traditional accompaniments to the two singers in "The Christmas Song" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas: allowed Mr. Previn to display his considerable talent as a jazz pianist.
What perhaps will linger longest in the memory are the rousing performance of "Go Tell It On The Mountain" and the last chorus of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" in which Misses Battle and von Stade offered a special Christmas present: a brief interpolation of the love duet between Sophie and Octavian from Richard Strauss' Rosenkavalier.
The evening's artistry and splendour captured the season's joyous message with enthusiasm and grace, making the night truly, as The New York Times hailed it, "A Christmas Feast from Carnegie Hall."

Tim Tebow's Madden Rating Proves 2013 Dominance
Holy muscles drenched by the tears of heavens, Tim Tebow's fitness is only outdone by his ability to create miracles in the endzone. Tim Tebow's Madden rating has many people jealously excited to wield the second greatest quarterback to ever play the game in Madden 2013.
John Madden NFL 2013 has done something unprecedented and unpredictable: the developers have created the nearly perfect player, by default. Gamers will soon learn that Tim Tebow's nearly perfect 97 rating, way above Mark Sanchez's paltry 80, gives him the ability to run through defenses with the speed of a cheetah and grace of a savannah gazelle. He'll be more dominate and hungry to run than Michael Vick at a hot dog stand in Coney Island. But don't think he's a one trick poney: Tebow's 98 passing rating gives him the abilities of the legendary Mark Ripken, able to throw a 80 yard pass off his back foot while being beared down upon by any defense.
Detractors of Tebow are calling shenanigans, saying that Madden is unfairly trying to lobby for Tebow to get the starting spot in New York. But EA Games insist that after watching Tebow train and play in the off-season, they realized the halo huxster was the best player to ever play the game.
Players will also be treated to a 'shirtless' backyard mode, where Tebow has the option to go sans jersey after he completes over 1,000 yards passing and rushing in the game. Developers know this feature will bring a female crowd to the game and let men marvel and admire Tebow's amazingly hard-earned, Olympianesque physique.

I haven't used burlap a lot in my decorating or crafts (don't hate me). I think it's the smell and the texture. I often sneeze when handling burlap. Yet I love the pattern that it makes when stamped, apparently. Alecia created these awesome burlap stamps using the best decoupage medium ever and a few other simple supplies, and I'm already thinking of all the shapes I can make besides leaves (which I adore). Pretty nifty for her first Mod Podge project ever, I'd say. Visit her below and get inspired to make burlap stamps of your own.

In the domain scam, someone claims to be a domain registrar, warning you that someone is trying to register one of your trademarks overseas, and giving you the "opportunity" to contest it.
If you respond, the scammer will either register the domain and then try to sell it to you, or will tell you that there's a fee of some sort to protect your domain and brand name. I wrote about one version of this scam last week.
In another version, you're warned that a guy named Karl Fischer is trying to register your trademarks. I've received this identical scam about several unrelated domains a few times this past week. That Fischer guy gets around! Here's one of them. Don't fall for it.
Dear Manager,
Asia Network is the company of internet services that the domain registration is one of the major online style of our service range. Now we have something need to confirm with you. We hope you to cooperate with us. On May/22 2008, we received an application from one person named "Karl Fischer" who wants to register some domains(list of domains)and internet brand(brand). According to our investigation, we found that domain names have relevance to your company's name and trademark, so we send this email for you to confirm it. We are dealing with this affair in these days, so we wish to get the confirmation and the assent of your company. If Karl Fischer doesn't belong to your company and you don't authorize him to register these domains, Pls contact with me asap in order to prevent some guy from abusing your trademarks and the company names. In addition, I must state that we have time limited for one person or one company's registration. It is just 15 days. If your company files doesn't resent within the time limited. We will unconditionally authorized the application of Karl Fischer. Thank you for your cooperate.

Solid top
This top covers my 36DD chest perfectly! It shows off enough to look cute but doesn't look like they're going to flop out at a moments notice. A very attractive top on large busts!I will say, however, that you shouldn't plan on doing any intense physical activities as this top lacks an underwire. It feels supportive but don't go crazy. =)

Gov. Pat Quinn has picked up a major labor endorsement for his re-election during a campaign that's already focused on union influence.
SEIU Illinois says it's backing Quinn because of his stance on the minimum wage and integrity in Springfield. Quinn's Republican opponent, Bruce Rauner made fighting "government union bosses" a theme during the GOP primary. Unions also made the unusual move of endorsing a Republican in the primary: state Sen. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale.
Quinn has traditionally enjoyed union support. However, public employee unions disagreed with his signing of a pension overhaul that cuts benefits for state employees and retirees.

FBI Birmingham Provides Active Shooter Training and Support to Local Law Enforcement Executives
|FBI Birmingham April 25, 2013
BIRMINGHAM—In the wake of recent tragedies across the country, the FBI is providing training and resource material to close to 100 officers and first responders from dozens of police departments, fire departments, and emergency responders from across north Alabama at the Trussville Civic Center, announced Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Richard D. Schwein, Jr. The twoday conference concluded the afternoon of April 25, 2013.
After the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, the FBI was asked to join a White House working group to find ways to help prevent and respond to active shooters and mass killings incidents. Though these incidents are almost always state and local crimes, the FBI has played a role in supporting virtually every significant incident that has occurred in recent years.
Topics covered include dealing with the 24/7, social-media savvy national news and supporting victims, including families and the officers involved; crisis management; evidence collection; and the use of improvised explosive devices (IED) by active shooters.
SAC Schwein said, "There is no single solution to preventing all violent crime, but by working collaboratively, we all can be prepared to prevent and respond to the next episode, should it ever occur."

No jail time for resident physician Matthew Charles Uhlenkott in CU Medical Center fondling case
AURORA, Colo. - A former resident physician at CU's Medical Center has been sentenced to probation after fondling a patient.
Prosecutors say Matthew Charles Uhlenkott, 32, fondled a patient's penis while the patient was in the post-anesthia care unit after eye surgery. The victim was unable to see.
Under a plea agreement, Uhlenkott pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual contact with an at-risk adult without consent, prosecutors said. Charges of unlawful sexual contact with an at-risk adult and sexual contact with a helpless at-risk adult were dismissed.
Prosecutors said Uhlenkott was sentenced to four years of sex offender intensive supervised probation and he must register as a sex offender for 10 years.
He is no longer practicing medicine.
The victim, who is now blind, told the court that he never thought he would be a victim of a sexual assault.

LONG BEACH, Calif., July 7. KLETE Keller accomplished something tonight very few swimmers can claim: He broke a Michael Phelps record. Nay, he smashed a Michael Phelps record, reclaiming the standard Phelps had taken from him last year.
And he did it while not feeling well. "I wasn't feeling excellent," he told SwimInfo, but my coach, Jon Urbancek, says you don't have to feel good to swim fast."
Keller obliterated the American record for the 400-meter freestyle, clocking 3:44.19, the world's second fastest time of 2004. Only Australia's Grant Hackett has swum faster this year. Phelps owned the previous mark of 3:46.73.
Keller's time also broke the US Open mark of 3:46.60 set last month by world record-holder Ian Thorpe.
The 22 year-old Club Wolverine ace was ahead of American record pace throughout, splitting 53.95, 1:50.19, 2:47.34 before touching in 3:44.19. He said afterwards he might have swum even faster had he not had a cramp in the final 100 meters.
His coach, Jon Urbancek, said Keller is "capable of going 3:42."
Mission Viejo's Larsen Jensen was also under the old standards, earning a ticket to Athens with his 3:46.56.
Both Keller and Jensen dropped out of USC to train for the Olympics. Their gamble paid off big-time tonight.

A woman from Colorado Springs breastfed a dying puppy to save its life after the pup's mother died.
But is it really?
I first heard about this story over the weekend via a quick news blurb and I thought "that is disgusting" and quickly put it out of my mind. The story built up even more steam and I finally broke down and watched the video. While I am still grossed out, this woman seems to have some common sense:
- She is hiding her identity
- She admits that the act is a little odd and clearly unnatural
- This isn't something she consistently does, or will continue to do
What I am trying to say is… I don't think this lady is some nut looking for internet fame.
Even though she isn't crazy, it isn't unreasonable to assume that a child is sharing (or shared) those breasts with Scrappy-Doo (the video states that her child is 15 months and is no longer breast feeding, but doesn't say if there was an overlap). There has to be hygiene issues with a puppy feeding off a human breast for both the woman and the puppy (and yes I am sure this lady is taking reasonable measures to sanitize the area).
I am struggling with this one… the footage is uncomfortable to watch, but I kind of believe that the dog would have died if she didn't try. Can an act of compassion go too far?
What are your thoughts on this woman who breastfed a puppy? Would there ever be a situation where you would let another species (puppy, kitten, baby elephant) nurse from you?

text: A 5 per cent drop in gold prices should not be cause for alarm since it can be seen as a temporary correction, right? Yet, gold loan companies are scurrying for cover, with Manappuram Finance, a prominent lender against the security of gold, witnessing the fallout of this price drop last week. Its shares lost 30 per cent of value in just two trading sessions, a reaction to the company's declaration that it was expecting revenue losses in the current quarter due to the dip.

|Acoustics > Artist Series > Nouveau
Art Nouveau (1890-1910) was inspired by natural forms & structures, not only in flowers and plants but also in curved lines. Luna interprets the movement's organic feel with both a stylized, floral-inspired rosette, and a fingerboard design of mother-of-pearl against ebony— both graceful and understated. This organic look is further emphasized by a solid spruce top, mahogany neck and solid rosewood back and sides. The Nouveau is a tasteful instrument, for the most discriminating player.
Because of the organic nature of materials used, instruments may vary in color and tone.

|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Origins and description of the party
The Guinea-Bissau Resistance-Bafata Movement (Movimento Bafatá-Resistencia da Guiné-Bissau, MB-RGB) was founded in 1986 under the name Bafata Movement (Movimento Bafatá) (Africa South of the Sahara 2004). The party became the Guinea-Bissau Resistance-Bafata Movement in 1991 (ibid.). Salvador Tchongo is the current party leader (ibid.).
Following the election of President Yala in February 2000, the MB-RGB participated in a coalition government (Panafrican News Agency 15 July 2003). It was the leading opposition party (ibid.) until an internal crisis opposing certain leaders pushed it back into eighth place in the 28 March 2004 legislative elections (African Elections Database 1 Dec. 2004).
No mention of the party's youth faction or Juba could be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.
Situation of the leaders and members
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2002 indicated that an MB-RGB deputy was severely beaten by President Yala's bodyguards at an event that took place on 24 September 2002 (31 Mar. 2003). Deputy Rui Ferreira, who had to be hospitalized, had arrived late for the President's speech (Country Reports 2002 31 Mar. 2003). By the end of 2002, the incident still had not been investigated (ibid.).
Amnesty International (AI) indicated that opposition leaders had been harassed and arrested, including MB-RGB deputy Francisca (Zinha) Vaz, who was detained for two days in February 2003 [translation] "for responding to President Yala's comments about her father" (2004; see also RDP Africa 18 Feb. 2003). She was released without charge but was prohibited from travelling until July 2003 (AI 2004).
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2003 indicated that the former MB-RGB president, Domingos Fernandes, was detained on 8 September 2003 for 48 hours (25 Feb. 2004). Domingos Fernandes had criticized a Guinea-Bissau Supreme Court ruling that supported the RGB leadership (Country Reports 2003 25 Feb. 2004).
A 29 January 2003 article from the RDP Africa Internet site indicated that a travel ban was imposed on MB-RGB leaders. A government representative pointed out that this ban against Helder Vaz, Francisca Vaz, Alexandre Bucancil and Domingos Fernandes was justified because they had led the MB-RGB congress even though the public ministry had prohibited them from doing so (RDP Africa 29 Jan. 2003). The article indicated that Helder Vaz and Francisca Vaz were facing a two-year prison sentence (ibid.).
The MB-RGB's recent political history and position
A 23 January 2001 BBC News article indicated that the ministers representing the MB-RGB in the coalition government had resigned following a department reshuffle, which the party in power had failed to consult them about. Shortly before the 14 September 2003 coup against President Yala's government, the MB-RGB president strongly criticized Yala's policies (Panafrican News Agency 15 July 2003).
As reported by the Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), the MB-RGB spoke out against the September 2003 coup in Guinea-Bissau against the Yala government, and hoped that elections would be organized as quickly as possible (IRIN 15 Sept. 2003).
On 3 July 2002, RTP International Television indicated that the MB-RGB party was "going through a deep internal crisis." The party leadership was in great dispute because one group supported Salvador Tchongo (current party president) and the other supported Domingos Fernandes (RTP International Television 12 Oct. 2002).
The crisis began with the suspension of Domingos Fernandes as party president and his rejection of that decision (ibid. 3 July 2002). In addition, the third congress of the MB-RGB was held on 12 October 2002, "despite an order issued by the Public Ministry" (ibid. 12 Oct. 2002).
An 11 February 2003 article from RDP Africa indicated that Domingos Fernandes, the MB-RGB's first president, intended to run in the 2004 presidential elections. According to this article, he did not agree with the Guinea-Bissau Supreme Court's ruling in favour of Salvador Tchongo as MB-RGB leader (RDP Africa 11 Feb. 2003). Domingos Fernandes claimed that his 8 February 2003 two-day detention was linked to the statements that he had made about the Supreme Court ruling (ibid.).
Another source indicated that Salvador Tchongo and Helder Vaz were involved in a four-year long dispute over party leadership until Tchongo was declared the "formal" MB-RGB leader in 2003 (FBIS Report 25 Mar. 2004).
The party won less than two percent of the votes and no seats in the 28 March 2004 legislative elections, although it had won 28 seats in 1999 and its candidate in the November 2000 presidential elections had won more than eight percent of the votes (African Elections Database 1 Dec. 2004).

Real Housewives of Orange County: The Worst Mom Style of Them All?Sunny Chanel
Of all the Real Housewives shows, The Real Housewives of Orange County has the tackiest clothing hand down.
Real Housewives of New York City is all chic and stylish. Real Houswives of Atlanta has had their share of bad outfits, but fares better than Orange County. Real Housewives of Washington D.C. was pretty conservative. Real Housewives of Miami brought some sizzle. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills may be close to Orange County but are thousands of miles away in terms of fashion. And even the big hair and sequins of The Real Housewives of New Jersey have Orange County beat in terms of stylish outfits…and that's saying a lot.
So what makes moms – Alexis Bellino, Peggy Tanous, Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson – of the The Real Housewives of Orange County have the worst mom style of all the Real Housewives shows?
The Real Housewives of Orange County – more than the others – work their outfits around the boobs. Their very large, very fake boobs. They wear skin tight bodices and plunging necklines. And when they pair that with super short skirts and sky high heels, they look more like strippers than soccer moms. Now there is nothing wrong with not looking like a soccer mom. But with the bleach blonde locks and the spray on tans, their beauty is no longer natural but completely manufactured. And throw in the Botox, the lip injections and other little nips and tucks, and they journey farther and farther away from what they would have naturally looked like.
On the season finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County, there was a scene where Alexis was getting ready for a party. She didn't have her over the top make-up on and was just in causal clothes, and you know what? She looked so much better than when she has tons of blush, mascara and black eyeliner on. It made me want to see how they all would look if they weren't all made up.
Do you think The Real Housewives of Orange County has the worst style of all the Real Housewives? If not, who do you think should win the prize.
Real Housewife makes the list: 15 Controversial Reality TV Moms!

Earlier this year I purchased a Canon T4i for regular use and for astrophotography. Well, this particular model also has video capability, too. I remember before purchasing this that a DSLR that does video, too, could be better than using a web cam. I had tried video with this camera on the moon earlier this year, but I didn't have a big lens attached and it was, well, unimpressive. So, here is a link to the video over on YouTube I just took this evening:
It isn't anything special, just the moon, but pretty neat. I removed the audio track and added one of those loops that comes with the video editing software I have. Nothing to the music, but it kind of fits the look with the wisps of clouds moving past the moon.
Simple setup: C8+ (unpowered, just let the moon drift through) and Canon T4i at prime focus for the first part. Second part: C8+ (again, unpowered), Celestron Deluxe Tele-extender, 36mm Plossl, Canon T4i. Was testing out not only the video capability of the camera on the scope, but also my JMI MotoFocus I just stuck on as well.
EDITING NOTE: Just reposted to YouTube...apparently the loops that come in video software are no longer allowed on YouTube or something like that, so my video was blocked to viewers. Quite amazing. So, the link above is the new one. Instead of music, I used MY OWN recording of a thunderstorm from last year as background. Silly.

ROCKFORD (KKAA) -- The well known celebrity Hippie Tom, noted for his special appearances on the television show American Pickers, along with Mike and Frank, will be bringing truckloads of items from his personal collection to be offered at auction at the state of the art, indoor auction facility of Kaptain Kirk's Auction & Appraisals at the corner of 18th Ave. & 9th St. in Rockford.
Tom is an avid collector of antiques, collectibles, primitives, advertising, architectural items, leaded stained glass windows, toys, structural items, signs, garden items, furniture, artwork, pottery and many more such items.
The first in a series of auctions will be held on November 5 and 6 at Kaptain Kirk's facility. Tom will be available both days starting at 10:00am for photographs, autographs, and interaction with the auction crowd. This will be a rare opportunity to buy an item from Hippie Tom's personal collection, have it autographed, and have your picture taken with Tom.

Tom will be featured again in upcoming episodes that have already been filmed, and will be showing in late October.
Kaptain Kirk's is excited to be part of the American Pickers craze and holds auctions on a regular basis at their facility.

Gobi restaurant in Brighton, England offers all-you-can-eat Mongolian Barbecue for just 12 (or about $19). Well, unless your name is either George Dalmon or Andy Miles. Why? Because George and Andy have been going there for years, eating five plates a sitting. The owner finally had enough and banned them for life.

Retail Marketing In a Nutshell
Your experience for the customer is the amusement park
Your widget is the souvenir
Put another way, marketing is just the frosting on the cupcake of experience.
You're upside down when you think its all about marketing, social media and PR.
If they're not buying, its probably because you're giving them a rotten experience at the amusement park
So you discount the souvenir, hoping that brings them in
And that's nuts
To avoid discounting your premium brand, bring the Bob Phibbs Experience to your brand, event or team.

This site is no longer maintained, but fear not ST fans! The new spandangly site is now up and running and will soon leech all of this site's content like a big leechy thing! Go here: The New Spandangly Joy Of Sticks. Here you will find the results of The Great Atari ST Game Survey amongst other brilliant Atari ST related tidbits.
Welcome to The Joy Of Sticks! If you are interested in reading comprehensive reviews of Atari ST games featuring screenshots, videos and links to other reviews and further information then you have come to the right place! We also have some transcribed issues of ST Format for you to read, if you are that way inclined. The ST wasn't my first computer (that crown goes to the small, but perfectly formed Acorn Electron), but as soon as I opened the box on that fateful Christmas morn, I was in love. If you have any feedback, or wish to suggest a game to review, don't hesitate to click on 'Contact' on the navigation at the top of the page.

Review number 2: IK+
The best beat-em-up on the ST? Maybe! This game was one of my earliest ST memories and is partly responsible for my enduring obsession with my little grey box. I remember going to my best mate's ST party at about nine years old, (he was a bit older than me) and they had two STs linked playing populous, and another ST alternating between Super Sprint 3 player and this little beauty.
Don't forget to send me your opinion on either the review or the game itself. Happy reading!

World's Largest Digging Machine Is Huge
The world's largest digger is a giant trencher built a couple years ago by German manufacturer Krupp. It took more than 5 years and $100 million to design and manufacture.
The machine is almost 95 meters (311 ft) high and 215 meters (705 ft) long which is just like almost 2.5 football fields in length with 45,500 tons in weight. Maximum digging speed is 10 meters (32 ft) per minute and it can move more than 76,000 cubic meters (~2,700,000 cubic ft) of coal, rock, and earth per day.
Wow, pretty impressive. You get two of these things working around the clock for a couple days and I could finally bury my girlfriend. Haha! No, but seriously honey, go to the gym.
Hit the jump for several more pictures of the digging behemoth.

Heart braced for tough encounter
Melbourne Heart coach John Aloisi is wary of the Central Coast Mariners ahead of Sunday's meeting between the two sides at AAMI Park.
Central Coast have scored just two goals in their three matches this season and sit sixth after losing last week's F3 derby to the Newcastle Jets.
The Mariners have an excellent record against Heart, winning four of their six meetings, and Aloisi, who had a brief stint at Central Coast as a player in 2007/08, knows Graham Arnold's side will come to play on Sunday.
"We know Mariners are going to be tough game," Aloisi said on Saturday.
"They're a good side. Mariners have got a good squad, no doubt about it. They've probably got the best squad along with probably Perth and Brisbane in the league."
Aloisi said he was aware of the ability Central Coast's attacking players possess and hinted that his side would pay particular attention to the Mariners' wide players.
"They've had players there since day one which has helped them a lot," he said.
"John Hutchinson is a great player and a good leader, so I don't buy into to the (talk) that they haven't got a good squad, they've got a very good squad and have a lot of options.
"I'm wary of all their players. They have Mile Sterjovski, a proven international that played in a World Cup, up front (Bernie) Ibini is good, while (Daniel) McBreen has been around for years now.
"Particularly their full-backs are players that are, given width and opportunity, good at getting balls into the box, they like to get crosses in. And everyone knows (Tom) Rogic, the talented player that he is."
But despite being focused on stopping the Mariners, Aloisi believes his team can notch their second win of the season if they are able to play their attractive, possession-based game.
"We're confident if we play the way we know how to play, we can come away with a positive result," he said.
Heart sit seventh on the table, with one win from their three matches this season.

Oct. 12, 1997
SAN DIEGO-The San Diego State University women's soccer team lost 4-2 to the Utah Utes in a WAC match today at home. The loss dropped the Aztecs to 6-4-1 (1-1 WAC) on the season. Utah's record improved to 5-6-0 (2-0 WAC) for the year.
SDSU was shutout in the first half, while Utah notched two goals. Freshman forward Lorrie Tipton scored the Utes' first goal at the 13:11 mark. Utah's second goal came off the foot of sophmore defender Karen Boardman with 1:34 remaining in the first half.
The Aztecs cut the Utes' lead to 2-1 on a goal by junior midfielder Catherine McGuire at the 46:15 mark of the second half. Freshman midfielder Elicia Petre registered the assist on McGuire's goal. Petre tied the game for SDSU at 2-2, off a rebound from a free kick by MaGuire at 58:11.
Utah's Boardman broke the tie at 80:13 with a goal assisted by junior midfielder Melanie Hewitt. Boardman completed a hat-trick when she tallied the Utes' forth goal of the game at the 85:02 mark. Assisting on the play was sophmore forward Staci Burt.
SDSU edged out the Utes in shots 12-11, while Aztec sophmore goal keeper Katherine Judkins recorded four saves in the loss.
The Aztecs face WAC foe Hawaii at home next Friday October 17, 1997 at 1 p.m. before traveling to play UC Irvine away on Sunday October 19, 1997 at 2 p.m.

CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, April 4. THE late Michael Lohberg's memory will be enshrined at the pool where he guided Dara Torres and others to national and international success at a ceremony to be held April 13.
The Coral Springs Aquatic Complex will be renamed the Michael Lohberg Pool of Champions. Coral Springs Mayor Vincent Boccard will be on hand for the renaming ceremony.
Lohberg passed away on April 4, 2011, after a lengthy battle with a blood disorder called aplastic anemia that incapacitated him during Torres' performances at the 2008 Olympics. The condition had Lohberg in a hospital during the Games, where Torres won three silver medals. Though doctors had given him a few weeks to live, Lohberg was able to continue coaching at the Coral Springs Aquatic Complex almost until his passing.
The facility includes a 50-meter and a 25-meter competition pool, as well as a diving well and teaching pool. The complex's website states that 600,000 people visit the facility each year.

Filmed for over five years in 25 countries and on 70mm, "Samsara" can most simply be described as an experience. There are no words, just a driving score; no characters, just startlingly honest portraits; no sets, just a global stage.
The title, a Sanskrit word that translates into "the ever turning wheel of life," is the center point around which a 99 minute series of moving images revolves, each one remote, unusual, and absolutely beautiful in some way. Sound like a tall order? It is.
Director and cinematographer Ron Fricke and producer Mark Magidson are practiced at this nonverbal visual art form, though. In fact, having together made two other films of the same breed before – "Chronos" (1985) and "Baraka" (1992) – it's safe to say they've mastered it. Here, the two discuss how they made their creation about creation.
Added with your past two films, "Samsara" is your third time producing this sort of visual global journey. What's new about it?
Magidson: The films have the same approach and style of filmmaking, but they're based on different overall concepts. There's a lot more portraits in this film than "Baraka." It's a lot more about people in a way, wouldn't you say?
Fricke: "Baraka" was about humanity's relationship to the eternal, you could say. And "Samsara" – another guided meditation, I like to call it – is on the subjects of birth, death and rebirth. It's all about how things are interconnected, the flow.
That's no small theme. How do you even begin tackling an idea like that?
Fricke: Well, we knew how we wanted to open and close the film – with monks making the sand mandala. Once we shot it, we knew we were in great shape.
Magidson: Getting the bookends sounds good in theory, but you have to get out there, and it has to rise to a level of visual stature. But it did. We had one shot at it, and that was very stressful, but we pulled it off. Once that was done, I think we were a lot more relaxed making this film than "Baraka." We knew the structure was in the bag.
Fricke: It was just a matter of moving around the planet to work on our content. No screenplay, no scenario; a concept. But we knew we could do it.
Magidson: We were pretty fearless.
And then you continued to film for five years. Without a cast of characters or narrative arc to follow, do you ever begin to feel lost trying to sort through that enormous amount of footage?
Fricke: Really, the image is the main character. It's about the essence of these places and portraits.
Magidson: It's like still photography, this imagery. It has an energy and power within it, and that's what you're making the film with. We're out for so long, but when you average it out, it's not a lot of content per location. It takes a lot to build up that kind of dazzling visual imagery to make a film like this work for 99 minutes.
Fricke: That's why we shot it in 70 [mm film]. It gives you the fidelity that digital can't match.

The ceremony was hosted by "How I Met Your Mother Star" Neil Patrick Harris. Harris is the quintessential element that is missing from many award shows; I'm still dumbfounded why the actor has yet to be asked to host the Academy Awards. Harris opened the show with a bit of a spoof involving CBS president Les Moonves and a TV binge. When the host took the stage he took jabs at the wealth of television's biggest stars. Jimmy Kimmel, Jane Lynch, Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien all took to the stage to assist Harris with the monologue about hosting duties. Even actor Kevin Spacey got in on the joke. Golden Globe hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler asked Harris to twerk on the stage; I'll be honest those two ladies were quite funny. They presented the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series to Merritt Weaver from "Nurse Jackie." It was indeed a bit of a surprise, even for the winner, who barely gave a speech.
Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series went to Tina Fey for "30 Rock." Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series went to Tony Hale for his work in "Veep." Guess the guys in "Modern Family" cancelled themselves out, as many expected Ed O'Neill to finally get some love. Julia Louis-Dreyfus took home her second Lead Actress award in a Comedy Series for her work on "Veep." She even had co-star Tony Hale hold her purse while she gave her speech, in a funny bit.
Outstanding Directing in a Comedy Series went to Gail Mancuso for "Modern Family." Lead Actor in a Comedy Series went to Jim Parsons from "The Big Bang Theory" who is almost unbeatable in this category and got a bit emotional while accepting his third Emmy for his work on the CBS hit.
In an odd moment during the Emmy ceremony singers Elton John and Carrie Underwood took the stage to perform tribute songs. Actress in a Mini-Series or TV Movie went to Laura Linney for "The Big C: Hereafter." Bit of a surprise as I expected Jessica Lange to be victorious for her exceptional work on "American Horror Story: Asylum."
Wow, I was surprised that the prize for reality competition award went to "The Voice." Finally, some change at the Emmy's! Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series was presented to Bobby Cannavale for his work on "Boardwalk Empire" by esteemed actress Diahann Carroll and Kerry Washington. Jeff Daniels won the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his work on "The Newsroom." That was indeed an upset as so many expected Bryan Cranston to take home the prize. I'm certain
The ceremony got a bit boring mid-way, which I was quite grateful for. It allowed me to watch the penultimate episode of "Breaking Bad" which was more thrilling in my opinion. While there were indeed many shockers in Sunday's ceremony, some may be arguing if the right winners were chosen in several categories. Until next year Emmy lovers!
