UNICEF launches Community Centres in Bam and Baravat
Bam, January 29th, 2006: Community leaders, government officials, parents, children and UNICEF came together on Saturday to celebrate the inauguration of Neshat Community and Recreational Centres in Bam and Baravat. The Neshat centres – named for the word meaning "joy" in Farsi - combine recreation, sports, arts and crafts and counselling and aim to give the people of Bam a place that provides a more holistic approach to their psychosocial support.
"This is the first time the State Welfare Organisation (SWO) is combining psychosocial therapies with playing and recreation," said Dr Mohammad Setayesh, head of SWO in
The Neshat Centres have already become popular places for both young and old to gather. The children play games such as table tennis and football, while parents take part in counselling sessions to overcome their grief and make a new start in their lives.
"I feel so alone at home but here I can spend my time and enjoy myself with my friends," said 15-year-old Hamed Tirandam, who comes to the centre every day.
The centres also have a basket weaving class where women can learn to make handicrafts out of palm tree leaves and an information resource centre containing brochures and leaflets on matters related to emotional well being.
"Play and recreation is the language of children and that's how they relate to each other," said Maziar Taleshi, UNICEF's assistant project officer in Child Protection in Bam. "The post-emergency stage is over. We have to focus more on long-term strategies by providing the people of Bam and Baravat a space where they can visit and share experiences in order to overcome their grief and move forward."
Four local people have been recruited to work as counsellors in the centres. They have received training in both individual and group counselling techniques.
"We are planning to form libraries and peer group sessions so that when families meet up here and talk of their problems, they realize that their pain is shared by others and this is a relief for them," said Tayebeh Dehbashi, supervisor of Neshat Community Centre in Bam.
To coincide with the inauguration of Neshat, UNICEF also opened a children's photography exhibition. This had been launched in December in

When dance-music innovator Moby was first profiled here ("The Beat Goes On," January 20, 1993), what is now called electronica was about as commercial as tainted beef. The rave scene was flowering, and techno--a now-outmoded handle--was gaining greater popularity within the club and party scenes. But beyond this relatively small community, it was virtually invisible. "There's been an underground electronic dance movement in the States since 1990," Moby notes. "But the problem was that the people who were going out never bought records, so no one in the music business was aware of it."
They're aware of it now. For the past year or so, heavyweights at MTV and beyond have been trying to reverse the slump in which the industry has been mired by spinning electronica into gold. At this point, it's clear that the attempt to fill the trend vacuum by manufacturing one of their choosing has not succeeded on a large scale. Although Prodigy's latest CD, The Fat of the Land, has gone double-platinum, it's virtually the only example of the genre on the Billboard 200, a roster of the nation's top-selling albums. Still, the publicity barrage unleashed in support of the music has certainly had a measurable impact. Acts such as the Chemical Brothers and the Crystal Method have gained substantial followings; the Orb and other veteran outfits are gaining recognition for their noteworthy accomplishments; and performers from U2 to David Byrne are acknowledging the freshness of the style in time-honored fashion--by ripping it off.
And Moby? His was one of the first faces folks in this country were able to put on the electronic approach. But rather than repeat himself all the way to the bank, he has followed a quixotic creative path. He's made some great dance music, sure, but he's also dabbled in ambient, heavy metal and even punk, often to the detriment of his career. "Because I've been making music since I was nine years old and I've played so many different things, I don't really have any built-in restrictions for the types of music I like to play." He pauses before noting with a laugh, "I'm not saying that's a good thing. I think it definitely makes me a very frustrating musician to pay attention to."
Moby's latest disc, I Like to Score, illustrates this contention nicely. The twelve tracks do have something in common: They appeared previously in motion pictures such as Cool World, The Saint, Joe's Apartment, Heat and Double Tap. But aside from their pedigree, they are a widely varied lot. The opener, "Novio," is a quiet fragment accented by choral vocals; "Go," a remix of one of Moby's earliest DJ faves, is dark but propulsive (it utilizes portions of "Laura Palmer's Theme" from Twin Peaks); "Ah-Ah" is wild and occasionally atonal; the title track is funky in an early-Seventies way; and "New Dawn Fades," a Joy Division cover, is yelping art rock filtered through a heavy-metal prism. But this idiosyncratic blend is not willfully abrasive. "James Bond Theme (Moby's Re-version)," which is being tied into Tomorrow Never Dies, the upcoming Pierce Brosnan explosion-fest, accents composer Monty Norman's familiar strain with speech samples (a couple of lines from Goldfinger appear), brassy horns and appropriate wah-wahs. These elements combine in a manner that's pure fun--which Moby hasn't been very often of late.
So accessible is "Bond," in fact, that cynics may see it as a bid for, of all things, a Top 40 breakthrough. A strong argument can be made in favor of this conclusion. After electronica entered the mass marketplace, sales expectations began to rise for everyone in the field--Moby included. But he insists that he received no pressure from his record company to become more profitable. "Elektra's a strange company. They make their money off their R&B and hip-hop artists, and that kind of subsidizes the rest of us." If anyone made the decision to make something that might appeal to tastemakers at FM stations, he implies, it was him. "I hope it does well," he says about the "Bond" effort. "That's what they're taking to radio, and we've made a video that's getting played on MTV. It's certainly a far way off from being a hit single right now, but it would be nice. I've had successful records and hit singles in most other countries in the world, but never here.
"I think back to when I was fourteen or fifteen years old--and the only way I could be exposed to culture was through the media. So I don't really feel that what I do is esoteric or that I need to preserve it for the intelligentsia. I'm a populist."
As his chosen moniker suggests, Moby wouldn't mind being a big fish in the musical pond. Born Richard Melville Hall, he is a distant relative of author Herman Melville, whose signature work, Moby Dick, is honored by Moby's nickname. As a teenager, he learned to play jazz and classical music on guitar but subsequently drifted in a more aggressive direction. He was a member of punk bands such as the Vatican Commandos during the Eighties, turning to dance music only toward the decade's end. His leap to the top of the rave pantheon was shockingly sudden; for many, he became the format's great white hope. The pressures he felt because of this responsibility were tangible--and on January 25, 1993, during a gig at Boulder's Fox Theatre that was opened by Prodigy, they boiled over.
The problems at the concert, which Moby refers to as "the worst show of my entire life," began many hours before he was scheduled to appear. "We were on a bus from Tulsa to Boulder, and our bus broke down," he recalls. "So we sat in a cornfield for six hours and then got on another bus and chartered a private plane that flew us to Boulder. So we got there, and the Prodigy played their set and it was fine. But then I started playing my set, and the monitors weren't working. And when we stopped and tried to fix the monitors, everything at the front of the stage stopped working. Then the microphones stopped working, too, and everything that could break down did break down. And I felt that the members of the local crew were about as unhelpful as they could possibly be. So I lost my temper backstage and ended up breaking a mirror and insulting the local crew, who then just turned everything off in the middle of one of my songs.
"The promoter and whoever else was involved responded to all of this kind of histrionically. The only thing I did was break a mirror, and they were threatening to throw me in jail--and one guy broke a beer bottle and tried to attack me with it. There was this guy and five or six huge bouncers threatening me and attacking me. And I'm five-foot-eight and 130 pounds. The balance of power was a little skewed in their favor." As he remembers it, he was allowed to leave only after one of his representatives paid an inflated price to replace sound gear that he did not harm.
Predictably, the folks at the Fox have a considerably different memory of the situation. In the February 3, 1993, Feedback, which covered the altercation, Mike Johnson, who co-promoted the date via his Poor Boy Productions firm, pinned the blame for the troubles firmly on Moby. "He was saying really rotten things to the sound guys," Johnson asserted at the time. "Instead of dealing with the situation, which was that there was no time to do a sound check, he kicked over his music stand, threw a bunch of microphones around and broke about $2,600 worth of equipment. And he was on the mike saying, 'If I were you people, I'd ask for my money back.'" He added, "At around 2:30, I saw [Fox co-owner Dickie Sidman] run past me saying, 'He just kicked in one of my monitors. That's it.' And he cut the power." Cheryl Ligouri, speaking for the Fox, confirmed that Moby's tour manager was forced to write a check to compensate the venue for damages. "They didn't have any choice, because we weren't going to let them leave."
Today, the Fox's Don Strasburg admits that Sidman, who died in 1995, waved a broken beer bottle at Moby, but he feels that the performer was never in any real danger. Moreover, he insists that Moby broke thousands of dollars' worth of sound-system accoutrements in the midst of his tantrum--a charge that Moby strongly denies.
"I'm not saying I'm innocent of everything," he says. "I got emotional because things weren't working. But these people were bullies, and what they did reeks of what bullies do, which is blaming somebody else for their problems. So it was a situation where everyone was sort of guilty. But I try very hard not to bear ill will toward people. I don't really see the point in holding grudges or being upset about things that have happened in the past. It doesn't serve any purpose. I want to look forward, not back."
In conversation, Moby seems utterly incapable of provoking such chaos. His speaking voice is small, even timid-sounding at times. And although he grows intense when discussing topics about which he feels strongly, such as the destruction of the environment and the irresponsibility of many right-wing religious organizations, this "lover of Christ" (his words) is unfailingly polite and reluctant to judge others who believe in the live-and-let-live doctrine. "My ethical understanding of the world is pretty much whatever an individual wants to do to him- or herself, that's really their choice. So if they want to take drugs, if they want to kill themselves, if they want to get tattoos and piercings, that's their choice. And if it involves other people, as long as it's consenting, the state should not be allowed to intervene. As long as no one is hurt, it's fine."
A similarly freewheeling aesthetic infuses Moby's approach to music. "Five years ago I felt much more of an allegiance to the world of electronic dance music than I do now," he concedes. "I like it, but I've never really seen any reason to like one thing to the exclusion of anything else. Just because I like techno or electronic dance music doesn't mean that I don't also love classical music and punk rock and folk music and jazz--and I do. And to be honest, I don't really like one more than the other."
For proof, look no further than Moby's Elektra catalogue. Everything Is Wrong, his impressive 1995 debut for the company, included plenty of wonderfully invigorating dance beats, but they shared space with alternately somber or uplifting mood pieces and nasty guitar riffing that was pure rock and roll. The following year he took an even greater risk by issuing Animal Rights, which put electronica on the back burner in favor of punk and metal that proved far clunkier and radically less imaginative than his dance-music output. Listeners and critics alike were united in their revulsion for the disc--reactions that disappointed the man who created it. "I kind of hoped that people would evaluate the record on its own merits and put it in a broader context. But because it wasn't what people expected at all and it was in a style that most music journalists despise, they just couldn't deal with it. Afterward I realized that when people get confused, they don't become reflective; they become reactionary."
Such folks will likely be relieved to discover that the next Moby disc, due in September 1998, won't be as homogenous as its studio predecessor. "It's very, very eclectic," he says. "It'll have some dance things on it, some instrumentals, maybe one or two punk rock songs. I don't feel the need to make another record like the last one--something that's self-indulgent and difficult. To an extent, I got that out of my system."

Not entirely, though. Moby is not going to produce the next record by Guns N' Roses, as has been long-rumored, because of schedule conflicts, but he expects to help out here and there; he describes the legendarily volatile Axl Rose as "a very smart, aware, sensitive person who I get along with very well." And while he isn't preparing Animal Rights II, he declares that he continues to love punk and metal--"so that definitely will be part of what I do." But for the moment, he's pleased to be a dance man again--and happy that electronica is finding a larger audience.
"My perspective on the world of electronic dance music has always been formed by traveling around the world, where it's already part of the mainstream," he says. "So it doesn't really surprise me that America is finally catching on. I'm only surprised that it's taken this long."

At the end of June, the European Commission (EC) released its proposal for the creation of a new pan-European corporate legal entity for small and medium-sized business (SME) to be known as the European Private Co., or Societas Privata Europaea (SPE). The EC's previous attempt to create a European corporate brand, the Societas Europaea (SE), for public companies has hardly been a resounding success. In the four years since the SE's creation, only about 100 companies have taken advantage of the opportunity to register as a single European
entity, a status that requires each member state to treat the SE as if it were incorporated in the country where it had its registered office.
"The SE was intended to appeal to large corporations that wanted to present European credentials in their branding, and those engaged in cross-border joint ventures in the EU," says Martin Mendelssohn, a partner at CMS Cameron McKenna in London. "But there has been no headlong rush to use the SE, that's for sure."
The outlook for the newest corporate creature, however, seems a little brighter.
"It was business interests themselves who wanted us to design a common structure for SMEs that would allow them to operate seamlessly across European borders, and our proposal is the fruit of extensive consultations with these interests," says Ludmilla Zalik, a policy desk officer with the corporate governance and financial crime unit of the EC's Internal Market directorate.
The EC listened well. The result is an SPE concept that is significantly different--and from all appearances, decidedly more workable--than the ill-fated SE.
Simple Setup
The SPE is not limited to SMEs: Any private company whose shares are not publicly traded is eligible for registration.
The key to the SPE concept is a single registration. No longer will SMEs that want to do business in several member states have to set up subsidiaries in each country they wish to operate in--a time-consuming and expensive process.
A single EU law will govern SPE formation and creditor and minority shareholder protection, regardless of the member state in which the company is actually formed. SPEs, however, will remain subject to the national labor, tax, accounting and insolvency laws of each country in which they operate.
"But the important point is that SPEs will have uniform rules on core company law issues that will apply wherever they operate in the EU," Zalik says.
The EC estimates that registering as an SPE could cut corporate set-up costs by as much as $15,000 and reduce annual operating costs by some $12,000. Member states will be expected to establish one-stop shops to facilitate start-up procedures. According to the EC, starting up an SPE should take less than a week, and obtaining licenses and permits no more than a month.
There is virtually no minimum capital requirement for an SPE start-up, which will be welcome relief for entrepreneurial ventures faced with thresholds of as much as $50,000 in some European countries, such as Austria. And shareholders will have a virtual free hand in defining their share, management and decision-making structures in the SPE's articles of association.
"Americans will recognize important similarities with the regime that apply in Delaware," says Paolo Santella, a researcher at the Bank of Italy.
Indeed, it is the very flexibility of the SPE that is behind a widely held belief that its usefulness will easily outstrip the uptake the SE has seen.
Major Obstacle
In concept, the SE is similar to the SPE in that it allows a business incorporated in one member state to amalgamate its various subsidiaries and register the enterprise as a single European entity. But the SPE is far more accessible than the SE, which can only be used by public companies having a minimum capital of $180,000. SEs also are only available to pre-existing companies (not start-ups) that wish to obtain EU-wide status, and its shareholders must come from more than one member state.
The law and jurisdictional rules governing SEs also are considerably more complex. Member states retain jurisdiction to determine many core corporate governance issues and capital requirements, much as they do over individual subsidiaries of multinational companies.
But perhaps the biggest obstacle to SE acceptance is the requirement that employees participate in the SE's structuring. Because the domestic employment laws affecting an SE's operations could differ among the subsidiaries amalgamated to form the SE, employees are given a say in the impact the formation of the SE would have on the right of employees to share in company decisions relating to issues such as job security and compensation. If management and company cannot agree on the employment laws that would apply to the SE, the law requires the SE to adopt, as a minimum, the highest level of employee participation that exists in any of the countries from which the SE was created.
If an American parent with operations in both Germany and the UK, for example, was trying to establish an SE but couldn't reach an agreement with its workers about the employee participation rules, the German regime would apply, bringing the British employees under the more onerous German laws.
"It was difficult to see why anyone would go the SE route," Santella says. "By contrast, while employee representation does exist in the SPE, the provisions are far less onerous for employers because their rights are left to the national law of the member state in which the SPE is registered--which is the choice of the employer."
The final fate of the SPE proposal, however, is not yet sealed.
Logical Solution
To be sure, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose country currently holds the rotating EU presidency, lists the SPE proposal as a priority. The Small Business Act, which contains the SPE proposals, requires unanimous adoption by the European Council and passage by the European Parliament before the EC can implement the concept.
Negotiations at the Council started in July and were continuing at press time. Charlie McCreevy, the EC's Internal Market commissioner, has stated publicly that he hopes the measure will become law by May 2009. For his part, Mendelssohn believes the SPE or some version of it is the wave of the future.
"Investors will soon recognize the logic of the SPE," he says. "At first, there may be slow uptake because of vested national interests, but that should fall away over about five years. Ten years hence, I expect the SPE to be the main form of private company in Europe."

Chocolate Nutella Cupcakes
These chocolate nutella cupcakes are my contribution to Krystal's Virtual Baby Shower (hosted by Eva). Krystal will be welcoming her second bundle of joy to the family soon and they refer to the baby as cupcake! And doesn't that just make a perfect theme for an online shower?!?
I was excited about the theme because it's been AGES since I've made cupcakes. And with our recent move, I was reminded at just how many different cupcake liners I have in my cabinet. So this was the perfect excuse to browse some cupcake recipes. I looked through recipes in cookbooks and online before deciding on these chocolate nutella cupcakes.
And what a great way to re-introduce myself to cupcake baking than with my go-to chocolate cupcake that I know and love with a new amazingly delicious frosting. The frosting's name is Nutella Cloud Frosting and I can't think of a better way to describe it. Whether the cloud in the name is referring to the dreaminess of the frosting or the light-airiness is still up for debate, but it's the perfect name for this frosting.
And if you're not a fan of Nutella, you can just leave it out and make yourself some chocolate cloud frosting. Either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I decorated these cupcakes quite simply, using multi-colored liners and some sprinkles on top. They the perfect addition to any shower menu, virtual or not.
So join me in congratulating Krystal and her hubby Eric on their upcoming arrival. To see all of the cupcakes, check out the round up on Eva's blog. And, you might remember Krystal's first virtual baby shower, where I made these delicious Cuban Sandwich Eggs Benedict. YUM!

These look wonderful and that nutella cloud frosting sounds phenomenal!!
I used the nutella cloud frosting on my birthday cake last year and I was blown away at how perfectly the name matched the texture! I love how perfectly smooth and fluffy it is. And yours looks absolutely perfect on top of that cupcake!
I'd also fill these with Nutella, and use a chocolate stout cake… mmmm…
Gorgeous cupcakes! It's hard not to want a nutella cloud frosting! I just made cupcakes for the first time in awhile too, I forget how relaxing and fun cupcakes can be!
You had me at 'Nutella', Jen! Beautiful cuppies!
So cute and absolutely perfect!
Oh man…nutella frosting? These sound so good!
Oh goodness, these look dangerous 😉 loving the nutella frosting!
Those cupcakes are perfect!!!
Do i have to have a paddle and stand mixer? I only have a regular hand mixer at the moment.

I was attacked by 4 assailants with knives when I was in highschool. I was on my way home from doing a roofing job. I had a roofing hammer. At first it looked like they had guns due to the way the closest one was holding his knife, and it was dark in the middle of BFE.
I fought them off, and they fled, I wound up with 17 stab wounds. One of those wounds if it had been just a quarter inch deeper it would have collapsed my lung. I gave more than I got, though try walking over half a mile with 17 bleeding wounds. I did not know I was stabbed at first, till I looked at my shirt and saw the blood.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

Mountain Warehouse has posted record annual profits after Britain's inclement weather helped it sell more than one million waterproof jackets.
The outdoor clothing business, which runs 186 stores and employs more than 1,200 staff, said its sales of rainproof jackets lifted 22% in the past 12 months following the non-stop downpours that hit the UK last winter.
Operating profits lifted 44% to £8.2 million, on sales up 20% to £91.7 million, as it opened 23 new stores and boosted its online business in the year to February 28. The firm grew sales at its existing stores, with like-for-like sales up 13.1%.

Mountain Warehouse, founded by chief executive Mark Neale in 1997, plans to open 30 more stores in the current financial year.
This year it has opened outlets in Padstow and Market Harborough as well as in Gdansk and Zakopane in Poland.
The business said it had built on substantial investment in its website, which meant online sales jumped 130% last year.

Would I be better off cutting it in half?
Planned on putting it in at around 11pm and cooking though night and next day.
Sounds like you have a whole pork shoulder, the butt and the picnic. Yes you could separate the two, it will make the cook easier to manage, especially if you insist on cooking "low and slow". You will probably also need a meat saw to cut through the bone to separate the two cuts of meat.
Just saw the package my wife got at cash and carry its two butts in a pack. So the smoker is ready, I plan on starting at about 5am.
Lots of leftovers! Costco sells those two packs too. I use them for parties and pot lucks. If it is just my wife and I we'll smoke them both, keeping one for ourselves and sharing the other with neighbors.
All of that in one 18" WSM?!?!
I always try to fill the smoker. No point in not maximizing your time and fuel. (And this is why my freezer is full of leftovers)

An almost new Niner EMD for sale. I purchased this frame in June of this year (2011) and had planned to build it up as a weekend warrior cross country racer, life got in the way and I never did go in a race. The bike has only been ridden about a 100kms so it is in excellent shape. All parts on the bike are new (with one exception) and are either 2010 or 2011 parts. The exception are the Elixr 5 brakes that were used but are in excellent conditon.
New Niner EMD 9 Frame size large Rootbeer in colour
New Rockshox Reba Race with remote lockout 2010
New Spinergy xyclone 29er wheels set with PBO Spokes
New X-9 complete drivetrain 3x9 with a 12 -34 cogset.

New Troy Lee Designs/Selle Italia Shiver saddle on a sette APX 400mm seatpost.
Used 2010 Avid Elixr 5 brakes. In excellent condition, I just did not buy them new.
Bike weight is about 26.5lbs as it is in the picture, I do not have a supper accurate scale to give an exact number.
There are a couple of scratches on the frame. One set is from a rear wheel installation and the brake rotor scraped the paint on the chainstay. Another is at the bottom bracket from a little chain suck. Both are minimal and only paint nothing into the metal. There is also some minor cable rub at the head tube.
Asking price is $1850 CAD, feel free to make an offer.
Feel free to ask me questions about the bike, I will help as much as I can.
Shipping is an option but all shipping costs are at the buyers expense and not included in the sale price of the bike. I can meet you on Vancouver Island with in reason.
Thanks for looking.
*Note, on the fifth picture of the cable rub, the rub is the dull part the silver is flash reflection not a scratch.

We have several cats who love to sneak out of the house (they're quite good at it) and roam the backyard, the nearby woods & fields. Recently, my wife who is quite allergic to poison ivy, contracted it. We think she got it from one of the cats that returned with it on its fur.
I read in another post that dogs can carry on their fur and transfer it to humans. Am I correct in assuming cats can as well? If they can, can anyone suggest a way to stop it (a hosing down of the cats in the backyard won't work; and they continue to escape despite our best efforts).

Teen Arrested For Saying Bingo When There Wasn't One
I can't tell you how many time I pulled this prank as a kid – 10 at least. Yep, I was that kid. Always causing innocent mischief. Apparently, If I grew up in today's world,in Northern Kentucky I would have quite the record.
CBS is reporting that Austin Whaley, an 18-year-old man, was recently sentenced to refrain from saying "BINGO" for six months. That's because he and several other teens did that at a Covington, KY bingo hall flustering a bunch of old ladies.
Park Hills Police Sgt. Richard Webster was off-duty when the innocent occurred and properly cited Whaley for second-degree disorderly conduct. The affidavit stated the prank disrupted the game for several minutes and alarmed patrons.
No, No, I'm not joking.

Get access to all the driving techniques used by the champions and how to develop the winning mindset.
Find out how to get it
Here's my Holy Trinity of attributes that you need to become a supreme kart racer:
My mission in life is to help you maximise all three of these in yourself, so that you can forge your own path to karting success and beyond.
"…instead of telling me what to do, he let me talk to him and then he told me how to improve on it. I have advanced so much more mentally that I became another driver. I know that now I have more self-confidence, bravery in passing, and aggressiveness"
He's shaped my thinking & beliefs in the right way to be able to move into top level karting in just over 1 year.
"He taught me to smooth out my aggressive style and some great techniques on how to be smooth, how to brake as late as possible and how to get the best starts!…"
"….the best part is that he always encourages me and knows that I can always do better. He made me discover things that I never knew I can actually do!….and without him, I couldn't have won the championship in my country!"
"…. just for your delight Dorian Won his first final race yesterday!!,And you're part of it!! thanks for your 1st fine report!!!."
"….He has played a crucial part in making sure I am the best I can be and helped take me to my first national championship. In my opinion, Terence is one of the best driver coaches in the world of karting."
"Terence helped me analyse my driving style and then helped me improve my driving skills, awareness and most of all helped me win and to be honest he is the best in the world at what he does"
"… he taught me to teach myself. I noticed that I could analyse more about my own driving ……. from that day on I had a better ability to teach myself as he gave me a better and more progressive attitude to improving."
"Ash has continued to build on the excellent foundation provided by Terence, this training / coaching dramatically improved his ability to understand what was happening in the kart"
"Rather than tell me what to do, he helped me figure out my own way to succeed on track. This gave me a greater understanding of me, as a driver – in karts as well as when I moved into cars."
Let's work together for 1 month to 3 months and focus on maximising every area of your kart driving potential.
One day with me at a track to rapidly identify your current driving strengths, and what to work on to get the results you need.

I just had our new toilet put in and it seems that they left a 2 inch gap between the wall and the back of the toilet. Does anyone know what is standard or appropriate?? It looks like a waste of space to me especially with the need for room in front of the toilet (for extra leg room)The toilet in our other bath has less than 1/2 an inch space. THanks for your feedback.
I have never seen more than a fraction of an inch behind a toilet.
if they did not replace the toilet flange( which is more work, and not necessary unless damaged), your new toilet may be smaller than the old one, so it would seem farther than before, but 2 inches sounds a bit much. Maybe they installed a 10 inch bowl on a 12 inch flange?
I would agree with Barna. Your new toilet may have different specs than your old one.
2 inches is too much, and it is wasted space. But it all depends on toilet size.
Measure the distance from the toilet mounting bolts to the back wall it should be the standard 12". If not there's your problem.
It might of been that there was a floor joist in the way to ruffin the toilet flang to 13" off the unfinshed wall.So they may of had to ruffin at
14 1/2" there has been many times i have see and done that. For you can not cut 3" out of the top of a floor joist anywhere on it you can drill it out of the center. But that most of the time will not help the plumber who ruffed it in.But the plumber should of said something to you. He or she would of known if they were lic to do plumbing for toilet ruffins you learn in plumbing kindergarden. But the only thing i can say you MIGHT be able to do. Is get an off set toilet flange and put it back with that. But good luck

Iron deficiency (ID) affects up to 25% of Swedish infants and severe ID is associated with cognitive and behavioral problems. To avoid this, iron supplements or iron-fortified infant foods are recommended for infants. However, the optimal iron dose and mode of delivery have not yet been established. This is a concern as excessive iron intake may impair growth and increase morbidity in iron-sufficient infants. Previous studies have suggested that iron-fortified foods may have different effects than iron supplements. In this study, the investigators will investigate whether the mode of iron administration (supplementation vs. fortification) and the amount consumed (high intakes vs. low intakes) affect iron absorption, iron utilization, and zinc absorption in healthy term non-iron-deficient 6-month-old infants.

text: Supreme Court sends Lavigne back to prison By Kate White November 21, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Joseph Lavigne Jr., who was freed last year after serving 15 years in prison for the brutal rape of his then 5-year-old daughter, will be sent back to prison to finish his sentence, the state Supreme Court decided Wednesday. Lavigne was released from prison last year after now-retired Putnam Circuit Judge O.C. Spaulding found there was insufficient evidence to convict him. Lavigne was released on bond following that decision.Putnam County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Sorsaia appealed the decision, saying there was plenty of evidence to convict Lavigne.The Supreme Court unanimously reversed Spaulding's decision, and justices said "we refuse Mr. Lavigne's request to remand the matter back to circuit court; and we order Mr. Lavigne immediately remanded into custody to serve the remainder of his sentence." Lavigne, 54, had served 15 years in prison before being released last spring. In 1996, a Harrison County jury found Lavigne guilty of sexual assault and incest in the brutal rape. The trial was moved from Putnam County because of pretrial publicity. Lavigne was sentenced to 22 to 60 years in prison. Lavigne learned about the decision while he was at work. His attorney Greg Ayers, a Kanawha County public defender, called him at about 3 p.m. to tell him of the decision."I'm not happy. I'm innocent of this crime ... that's not justice, it's not justice," Lavigne said. In a telephone interview Wednesday, he said, "My first parole date is 2021, my discharge date is 2035." He said he planned to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.In their opinion, justices said that Spaulding "abused [his] discretion in granting Lavigne a new trial ... without the proper demonstration of constitutional error."In granting Lavigne's release, Spaulding said the father of three had been denied a fair trial because the victim did not identify her father as her attacker in court. He also found that a jury instruction was improper, and limiting Lavigne to four character witnesses fatally harmed his case.During the original trial, according to transcripts, when Lavigne's daughter was asked if she knew her attacker, the court reporter wrote that she looked to her father. "...the circuit court went to great pains to discredit the 'supposed glance' towards Mr. Lavigne," the opinion states. Also, justices wrote, "Not only did the circuit court castigate the court reporter for including this parenthetical notation, the circuit court theorized that the glance was fabricated."The opinion states that the number of character witnesses didn't affect the outcome of the case. During the trial, Lavigne's attorney had subpoenaed 12 character witnesses to testify on his behalf, but only four were permitted. The number of character witnesses allowed in a criminal case is up to the trial judge in each case, and justices stood firm on that in their opinion. Then-Circuit Judge Clarence Watt presided over Lavigne's original trial.Justices wrote that the testimony from police, emergency personnel, doctors, and even Lavigne and his then-wife all pointed to Lavigne "as the attacker."Ayers said he believes in Lavigne's innocence and will study the ruling to figure out the next step."I've gotten to know Joe and his family and I believe in his innocence 100 percent," Ayers said. In recent years, Lavigne's daughter, Katie Haught -- now in her 20s with a daughter of her own -- has publicly said her father was not her attacker.It was not clear Wednesday afternoon when exactly Lavigne might return to prison. Sorsaia could not be reached for comment. Lavigne said Wednesday that during his time out of prison, he's enjoyed reconnecting with his children. He planned to cook Thanksgiving dinner and spend as much time as possible with his family before he returns to prison."I've had a year and a half of freedom -- I've rebuilt almost everything I needed to rebuild. I've got a good job, I'm working on getting a good credit rating and as soon as I got that I was going to buy a house," he said. "I was really, really getting my life back together. Now, I'm going to walk through a prison door again."Reach Kate White at email@example.com or 304-348-1723.

Young Irish people thinking about moving to Luton can now benefit from a new one stop shop website 'This is Luton.'
It's the brainchild of Luton Irish Forum and was put together with funding from the Irish Youth Foundation, Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation and a legacy from former LIF member Anne O'Hehir.
LIF chief officer Noelette Hanley said: "It's no longer possible for Irish people coming here to walk into a job.
"To get a national insurance number, they need proof of address and an employment offer letter. If further investigation is required, it can leave them in desperate circumstances.
"We've helped several new arrivals facing difficulties finding their feet. Many are sleeping on sofas and are unprepared for the harsh reality of life in Luton, like the cost of accommodation and the large deposit required.
"We hope 'This is Luton' will help them make an informed decision about coming to this country."
The website was launched by Irish ambassador Daniel Mulhall on Friday (January 24).

Olympic slopestyle qualifying opens Friday
The 2014 Olympic Winter Games qualifying period opens Sept. 7 for slopestyle skiing with the first FIS World Cup slopestyle event of the season in Argentina. The sport will make its Olympic debut in Sochi, Russia in 2014.
Among the U.S. Freeskiing athletes slated to compete are X Games medalist Keri Herman (Breckenridge, Colo.) and Emilia Wint (Denver, Colo.), who recently won The North Face Freeski Open of New Zealand.
"I'm really looking forward to contributing to setting the Olympic qualifying pace at Ushuaia. I've never been to Argentina and this is a really exciting time for my sport, and me," said Wint. "It's going to be great to show off slopestyle at Sochi so that world can see what a fun and cool sport slopestyle and our community has always been."
Also present will be newly added U.S. Freeskiing Rookie Team members Aaron Blunck (Crested Butte, Colo.), Annalisa Drew (Andover, Mass.) and Willie Borm (Chaska, Minn.).
The 17-month qualifying period provides individual athletes with opportunity to achieve required international ranking to be eligible for Olympic selection and helps the USA earn nation's quota spots.
"The FIS World Cup in Ushuaia, Argentina is the first Olympic qualifier for slopestyle skiing leading up to Sochi 2014," said U.S. Freeskiing slopestyle coach Skogen Sprang. "This is such an important milestone for the sport and its athletes. The next 17 months will surely provide a great show and an exciting race to the Olympic games."

20,000 days since Herb Score's injury
20,000 days ago, a promising young career came to a screeching halt.
It was May 7, 1957, and the Cleveland Indians hosted the New York Yankees. On the mound for the home team was Herb Score, one of the brightest young stars in the game. Two years earlier, a then 21-year-old Score had a national coming out party, fanning 16 batters in a 4-1 victory.
In his 1955 rookie season, he went 16-10 with a league-leading 245 strikeouts. Only one other pitcher in the AL struck out over 160. He averaged 9.7 K/9 in a league that averaged 4.4.
The next year, Score was even better, enjoying his first 20-win season while leading the league in shutouts, ERA+ and, of course, strikeouts. His 263 punchouts that year were 71 more than runner up Billy Pierce.
He was so well thought of that before the 1957 season began, the rival Red Sox offered the Indians $1,000,000 for Score—and Cleveland turned down Boston. That's how highly his team thought of him.
The early going in 1957 made the Cleveland front office look smart. In his first four games, Score was 2-1 with a 2.04 ERA and 39 strikeouts in 35.1 innings. In his wins, he'd allowed one run in 18 innings. Even in his other games he was impressive. He fanned 10 in 11 frames in his only loss, and in a no-decision he fanned 12 while recording 19 outs. Not bad.
That led up to the game occurring 20,000 days ago. Against the defending world champion Yankees, Score quickly dispatched leadoff hitter Hank Bauer on a groundout and then faced Gil McDougald.
It was the at-bat that nearly ended Score's career and ruined his promise.
McDougald made solid contact with a Score offering and sent a screaming liner right back up the middle—and right into Score's eye socket. He was bloodied and suffered several broken bones in his face.
Eventually Score recovered, but he would not pitch again that season. Early in 1958, it looked like he was on the way back as he threw a complete-game shutout with 13 strikeouts against the White Sox on April 23, 1958. Then, in his next start against Washington, Score injured his arm and had to change his delivery.
Was it the eye injury that ruined him or the less dramatic arm injury? Normally, the arm means the most, but how did missing 11 months due to an eye injury affect his arm strength? Score probably was headed for an arm injury even without his ghastly eye socket injury. He not only struck out a lot of batters, but he walked tons, as well. In his first start in 195,7 he was in double digits in walks and strikeouts, for instance. That's a lot of mileage on an arm.
Regardless of what might've happened, what did happen is that a line drive shattered Score's eye socket, and a once promising career never really lived up to its hope after that. And that shattering line drive happened exactly 20,000 days ago.
Oh – and there's one little side note from that game. After Score left, Cleveland had to put veteran Bob Lemon in to pitch. He lasted the rest of the game and his 8.1 innings pitched proved to be the longest relief appearance of his career. He posted the win as the Indians topped the Yankees, 3-2.
Aside from that, plenty of other baseball events celebrate their "day-versary" or anniversary today. Here they are, with the better ones in bold if you'd prefer to just skim the list.
5,000 days since Roger Clemens wins his 20th consecutive game, the last one in an impressive winning streak. During this period, here are his numbers: 30 GS, 5 CG, 211.1 IP, 161 H, 68 R, 63 ER, 73 BB, 240 K, and a 2.68 ERA. Oh, and of course a 20-0 record.
6,000 days since Cal Ripken makes history by appearing in his 2,130th consecutive game, tying Lou Gehrig for the all-time record. In the contest, the Orioles belt four homers in the second inning, including three in a row at one point.
6,000 days since the Astros and Reds have a brawl that will lead to a half-dozen suspensions. Both managers will be suspended, as well as Doug Drabek, Ron Gant, Pat Borders, and Xavier Hernandez. Houston wins the game handily, 10-1.
6,000 days since Greg Maddux tosses his fourth consecutive complete game, something that rarely happens in the 1990s.
6,000 days since John Jaha belts the 10th grand slam by a Brewer batter on the season, tying the 1938 Tigers and 1987 Yankees for a one-year club record.
6,000 days since Matt Lawton makes his big league debut with the Twins.
6,000 days since shortstop Rich Aurilia makes his big league debut.
7,000 days since the Atlanta Braves land one of the greatest free agent signings of all-time—arguably the greatest, in fact. They sign defending Cy Young Award winner Greg Maddux.
7,000 days since the Cubs sign Randy Myers. He's a great reliever, but the Cubs clearly lose more than they gained 7,000 days ago.
7,000 days since the Boston Red Sox sign longtime NL outfielder Andre Dawson as a free agent.
7,000 days since Marlins club president Carl Barger dies of a heart attack at age 62. The team has yet to play a game, but they'll retire a number in his honor.
7,000 days since the Marlins sign free agent Fred McGriff.
7,000 days since the Royals and Expos engage in a four-player trade that sends Mark Gardner to Kansas City and Jeff Shaw to Montreal.
7,000 days since the Dodgers sign free agent reliever Todd Worrell.
7,000 days since Reds owner Marge Schott apologizes for inflammatory comments she'd made publicly.
9,000 days since Alan Trammell hits his 100th career home run.
9,000 days since the Angels sign aging pitcher Jerry Reuss.
9,000 days since the Astros trade longtime third baseman Phil Garner to the Dodgers.
9,000 days since Orel Hershiser sets a personal best by striking out 14 batters in a game. It's the only time he fans more than 11 in one contest. His numbers for the day: 10 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 14 K. He gets the loss when he surrenders the winning run in the 11th inning.
25,000 days since Arky Vaughan gets his 2,000th career hit. It takes his just 1,658 games.
30,000 days since Red Sox manager Bill Carrigan quits. It's the second time he's left the team, and it ends his managerial career.
40,000 days since the birth of Cardinals pitcher Wild Bill Hallahan.
Along these lines, at some point today it'll be 1,000,000,0000 seconds since Hall of Fame starting pitcher Rube Marquard dies at age 90. Some point today also will mark one billions seconds since Carlton Fisk's 1,000th hit, and Vance Law's big league debut.
1867 Bug Holliday, outfielder, is born.
1887 The National League's St. Louis Maroons franchise is sold to a group from Indianapolis for $12,000. They get the players in the deal, and the former Maroons are now the Hoosiers.
1915 Former Cubs pitcher Ed Reulbach signs with the Federal League's Newark Pepper club.
1920 Babe Ruth asks the Red Sox for $15,000 of the money they made by selling him to the Yankees. Ruth later tells the press of the Sox owner, "The son of a bitch wouldn't even see me."

Guernsey children obesity trend 'troubling', says official
One in every three nine and 10-year-olds are either overweight or obese in Guernsey, figures suggest.
The School Nursing staff team, along with the Education Department, surveyed primary school children and compared their weight and height against the national average.
Their findings suggest that diet and lack of exercise are to blame.
Lynn Spencer, health promotion officer, said: "The current trend towards unhealthy living is troubling."
"Adults aged 19 to 64 years should aim for a total of at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity over one week.
Children and Young People aged 5 to 18 should aim for at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity every day." she added.
The Department of Education said schools had a variety of measures in place for primary age pupils, including providing nutritional advice to parents and pupils.
The survey is the first of its kind in the Bailiwick, and the States confirmed officials will continue to study the weight of children over the next few years.
Christine Jewell, a school nurse who specialises in weight management, said the survey was "an important step in understanding the extent of any problem we might have".
Guernsey's Health Promotion Unit has been helping people get the necessary information on health and fitness, via a pop-up shop in St Peter Port.

Wires. You hate 'em. I hate 'em. We all hate 'em. (Well, except for the people who make them.)
While the wireless subwoofer market is booming (*giggle*) at the moment, good wireless speakers are still few and far between. Aperion is rectifying that situation a bit with its Zona Wireless Surround System. The system relies on a compact wireless transmitter and two powered bookshelf speakers (okay, so you'll still need power cables and a mains outlet nearby) to deliver uncompressed 48 kHz/16-bit CD-quality audio up to 150 feet away. The company promises simple, no-fuss setup, great fidelity, and a rock-solid connection.
What's more, since the transmitter includes a USB port, the system handily doubles as a complete wireless music system for your computer. Snazzy.

Hospitalists are internal medicine physicians who have chosen to focus their care on patients in the hospital. There are many advantages of hospitalists. They have more expertise in caring for complicated needs of hospitalized patients on a daily basis. They are more readily available to meet with family members, follow up on tests and coordinate with nursing. A hospitalist may see a patient more than once a day to insure that care is going according to plan and to explain test findings to patients and family members.
Hospitalists also coordinate the care of patients in the hospital and facilitate communication between different doctors caring for a patient. They serve as the point of contact for other doctors and nurses for questions, updates, and delineating a comprehensive plan of care. Similarly, because hospitalists are in the hospital most of the time, they are able to track test results and order necessary follow-up tests promptly. This is in contrast to the traditional approach in which the primary doctor may come to the hospital the next day to follow up on the results and take the next necessary step at that time.
Greenville Health System (GHS) has one of the largest networks of hospitalists in South Carolina, and these physicians provide care at all GHS facilities: Greenville Memorial Hospital,Greer Memorial Hospital, Hillcrest Memorial Hospital, North Greenville Hospital, Patewood Memorial Hospital, Laurens County Memorial Hospital and Oconee Memorial Hospital. GHS hospitalists also provide care at Baptist Easley Hospital. For Baptist Easley, call (864) 442-8278 or (864) 442-7339.

If you're a reader of this website, you already know how I have a sweet tooth and also how little time I had in 2012 to cook or bake or spend time in the kitchen. I also didn't have too much time to read the blogs and websites I used to read. But you also know that it was all for the best reason ever: the birth and first year of my sweet baby boy. So, while I'm seeing tons of "top meals" articles around the web lately, I decided to write today about the desserts I'd like to have done last year. It is also a good idea to have them all together in case I decide to cook them in 2013 (new year's resolution maybe?).
Top 10 desserts of 2012
1. Chocolate Mousse – The Vegan Stoner
2. Dark Chocolate Orange Hazelnut Cookies – Maple Spice
3. Tartelettes au Citron – Have Cake Will Travel
4. Creamed Cheese Brownies with Salted Dark Chocolate Topping – Bitter Sweet Blog
5. Mocha Frangelico Mousse Torte – Maple Spice
6. Ice Cream Alfajores – Bitter Sweet Blog
7. Pumpkin Ice Cream with Candied Pepitas – Vegan Dad
8. Frankenstorm Pie (AKA Banana Ganache Pie) – Bitter Sweet Blog
9. Spekulatius Cookies, The Final Take – Seitan Is My Motor
10. Zuppa Inglese – Bitter Sweet Blog

Class A
Seventh-grader lifts Sonrise Christian
TAMPA — Alayna Shumate did a little bit of everything and Mackenzie Reid made the play of the game, as Sonrise Christian (10-5) defeated Cambridge 9-8.
Shumate, a seventh-grader, struck out 11 and allowed five earned runs over eight innings. She also did well at the plate, going 3-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run and five RBIs. In her final at-bat , Shumate drove in the go-ahead run by stroking a double to rightfield.
"During the game I was focused on trying to stay calm, throwing strikes and hitting the ball," Shumate said.
Lindsay Hagberg took advantage of the large outfield for Cambridge (9-10), hitting three home runs. Hagberg finished 3-for-5 with five RBIs, but she got a little unlucky in the eighth.
With two runners on base and two outs, Hagberg crushed what appeared to be the winning hit, but Mackenzie Reid snagged the liner just before it hit the ground. Amanda Burke was another bright spot on offense for Sonrise, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
"I am really proud of our girls for the way they played and not giving up. They showed a lot of heart," Sonrise coach Craig Townsend said.
The win marked the first time a Sonrise team has advanced past regionals in any sport.

Times correspondent


text: Hello again! I know this is another newbie question, but I have to ask it. I have been experiencing problems finding Photoflo or similar products in Rio de Janeiro. Can Photoflo (or Ilfotol or whatever) be easily and adequately replaced? What can I use to do its job while I don't get my hands on the real thing? Thanks!

The judge ordered me to reply to her declaration of support history, thats were she puts all payments to CSS and prior to opening to open the case with CSS. There was a court order for support, but never enforced until she opened the case with CSS. Does this sound right or is there something i can do to go around it or delay the hearing?
Would the court accept something written on paper that she accepted the payment for that month?
it didn't need to be notorized? I have a few that say i paid her on this day for x amount, with her signature, its just a plain paper. You say that will be accepted?
if i don't have some months with her signature as proof, and just my bank statment showing a cash withdrawal, can that be accepted in court as proof that i gave her money?
how about her car payments and insurance and credit card bills?Can i show that as support to her?

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
We know Chris Brown has a voice of molasses and gold but little by little the singer has been showing that he's got some rhyming skills too. His most recent single, "Look at Me Now" featuring Busta and Lil' Wayne proves he can hang with some of the best spitters in the game. This week Brown took his lyrical skills to hip-hop guru Funk Flex's show. Check out the video here.
Although his flow was solid, it seemed a little well laid out for coming straight off the dome. Either way, kudos to the singer/dancer/actor/rapper. Chris is always trying to expand his reach and his skills. Hopefully we'll hear way more rhymes from him in the future.
