I have had to have replacements of this Bisley Screw in Male Silencer three times. the first, a slight knock on a tree and it bent. the second, the actual silencer came away fron the threading, and the third, the alignment was way out and the pellets were being mashed up inside the silencer. absoulutely beastly!!!… Read Full Review

I also have / had a Bisley screw in silencer. I tried 10 shots without it and all were more or less on target. Tried 10 shots with it fitted and 8 shots missed the whole target! What more can I say.

I have a webley FX2000, excellent rifle, but the silencer it came with wasn't very good at all so I upgraded it to one from the Webley Venom custom shop and that did the trick it is at least as good as a Logun but about half the price!

Citrix replacement: using dosemu to run DOS/4G app and SSH/telnet to serve to users
Hi, I have an old console-mode DOS 4G DPMI application (32-bit with shim for 16-bit DOS) that is served using Terminal Server and Citrix to users across a private WAN. I would like to replace the server with a Linux box. CPU use is critical for this, the existing server is CPU constrained. There are about 30 users.
I'm thinking of using DOSEmu (I think that DOSEmu virtualises and DOSBox emulates x86?) to get the app to run in Linux, and then set up a SSH server with a custom login script to run the application. Clients are running windows, and can use something like PuTTY to access the application. So far as the users are concerned, the app looks a little different, but works the same way, and runs much faster.
Is DOSEmu the right choice for this? Is it reliable enough for this task? Uptime is king!
I've been trying to use DOSEmu on a fresh Debian Squeeze install, and I get this error:
ERROR: term support not compiled in or not found:
ERROR: /usr/local/lib/dosemu/libplugin_term.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR: Terminal (S-Lang library) support not compiled in.
Install slang-devel and recompile, use xdosemu or console dosemu (needs root) instead.
I'm running as root, either on the console or on SSH, can't get slang-devel or libplugin_term, so does anyone know what is causing this, or how to get DOSEmu onto a fresh copy of Debian and make it work?
You've got lots and lots of options.
Furthermore, there's a lot you didn't really tell us:
a) What does this program do?
b) What resources does it require?
Just a keyboard, a DOS monitor, and ++1MB RAM?
Does it use a printer? Communicate over the network? What kind of network: LanMan? Novell? LanTastic?
c) How do users interact with it?
Do they run it locally (on their own "DOS PC")? Does it provide some network service?
Anyway, DOSEMu and DOSBox are both good candidates (although clearly you seem to have issues with DosEMu on your particular distro). Other alternatives you might want to consider are:
* DOS VM under Xen Server
* DOS VM under VMWare
* Virtual Box VM
* MS Virtual PC
* Etc.
'Hope that helps
You might want to try some equivalent of these commands to resolve the DOSEmu runtime errors:
Got it working (sort of), but painfully slow
Hi, thanks for the reply!
a) The program is an old ERP system. Very old.
b) Keyboard, mouse would be nice but is not necessary, beep would be nice but is not necessary, charmode display, more than 1MB RAM (this is 32bit code with a shim to talk to 16bit DOS), printer port redirected to a JetDirect printer (we currently use NET USE to map to a print share which forwards to the printer).
c) The users interact with the program running on the server -- the ERP system tries to do database synchronisation using file subrange locks (!) (and corrupts when it fails to lock properly) -- keeping it running on the one computer (or VM) reduces the incidence of corruption.
So I had another look at DOSEmu and noticed that the latest package is an RPM, so I installed CentOS into an ESXi VM and installed the RPM into it and it worked first try. I served it using SSH to a PuTTY client, and it worked except that there seems to be a charset issue (ASCII lines/boxes are rendered as accented characters).
Solved -- except that it is WAY too slow, even for one user. I noticed that when I entered DOSEmu that running DIR caused output that was less than instant (to compare, Linux LS is instant). The application runs OK (haven't tried printing), until the user attempts to run a report and then it is glacially slow. The server has maxed its CPU but HDD activity is nowhere near max.
I was hoping that DOSEmu would run DOS in an V86 VM (I'm assuming that Windows still uses V86 mode to do this for DPMI applications) so there would be minimal performance impact.
Maybe DOSBox would have better performance? Alternatively, serve from Windows over Telnet or SSH? Or even some kind of multiprocessing FreeDOS (if reliable enough)? If that isn't too far out of scope.
Since this is a native Windows (DOS) application I would imagine that your Citrix setup should really give you the best performance. What is the problem with performance now on Citrix? Or are you just looking for a way to save on licensing, etc.?
If the application is setup such that everyone connecting is limited to share a single CPU and amount of memory, and you are getting those maxed out I doubt there is much you can do short of upgrading the application. Keep in mind that any emulation will add overhead due to the emulation layers, and will still be constrained to the same amount of CPU/Memory as the original application running in native mode.
The server has a number of CPUs, and while any given instance of the application is limited to a single CPU, the instances are spread out reasonably well (except when one user runs a report, ...).
The main reason for this is that I'm looking to save on bandwidth by delivering the application across a more suitable protocol than ICA but the licensing savings and control on Linux are appealing.
It's a pity about the overhead of the emulation layers considering that all the application is likely to be doing is calling INT21 and writing to display memory.

Yup, thanks, CnS! And one tip deserves another. I did indeed get my clips at Sally's. They're the double pronged curl clips like the ones Jas was talking about. I'm going to get some more off of amazon or ebay. I don't think there's any difference between those clips and the deva clips. Except supposedly the devaclips can come in the same color as your hair which I admit would be awesome.
Jas, keep at it. I bet you'll get the hang of it soon. It took me a few tries and you're like a hair pro. Myrna, I'm going to watch that video because the last time I tried the jaw clips I tried it the way Veronica Meza did it in her video. Speaking of which, Rustina I'm going to try putting in the clips when my hair is 3/4 dry then to see if I get even better volume. Thanks for the tip.

Tristen Zimmerman, daughter of Tonya Zimmerman, has been selected December Girl of the Month for the Little Falls Community High School (LFCHS).
Zimmerman has been a 4.0 student all four years of her high school career and was selected to National Honor Society. That is quite a feat considering how busy she has been throughout these years. Zimmerman shares her leadership talents as a youth leader with the Alliance Church; a promoter for the Financial Literacy Promotion; a volunteer softball coach; member of the Flyer Activity Leadership Council (FALC) and Target, the organization the works with students of all ages promoting a drug and alcohol free lifestyle.
Involvement in DECA, a school club promoting business and marketing, also honed her leadership skills as she was president of not only the Little Falls club but also of the state DECA organization. She earned DECA awards at the state level and was a finalist at the international level more than once. Communication is one of her many strong suits, demonstrated by the fact that she has been a Patriot's Pen VFW essay winner two years in a row and won the Minnesota Speaker's Bureau award as a junior.
Her love of learning carries over from the classroom to the sports field where she yearly improves in her sports of choice — four years participation in softball and volleyball topped by being named co-captain for volleyball as well as being named to the All-Area team and named an All-Conference Academic three years running. Her new challenge this year is participation in the USA Youth Weightlifting program. The basketball team also benefited from her three years as student manager.
Despite this high level of activity, Zimmerman has managed to find time to stay involved in Student Council, Key Club, Link Crew, which mentors ninth-graders, the Madrigal Dinner, plays and musical productions, "Music Man" and "Oklahoma" and was a part of the Homecoming Committee.
She is described as a conscientious student who loves the challenges school and college level classes provide. Zimmeran is lauded by her teachers for her personable nature as well as the enthusiasm she shows in the classroom.
Zimmerman's employers at Perkins and Modern Mercantile rely on her good work ethic.
She has shared her love of life and education and filled her days with friends, watching collegiate sports and reading. Zimmerman's college plans center on double majoring in molecular biology and bio chemistry with a minor in history.

UNC Basketball: Why J.P. Tokoto Is the Tar Heels' Most Underrated PlayerJanuary 7, 2014
The North Carolina Tar Heels have been full of surprises this season—both positive and negative. But one good surprise many fail to acknowledge is the impact P.J. Hairston's replacement has made.
By no means is J.P. Tokoto the offensive powerhouse Hairston was expected to be. He certainly doesn't have the shooting ability Hairston displayed last season as a sophomore beyond the arc or at the stripe. Perhaps it is because of these things that so much of Tokoto's game has been overlooked by many UNC fans.
Or maybe it's just that he isn't as complete as many people expect a sophomore Tar Heel to be.
The impact Tokoto has had on this squad goes far beyond his pedestrian 30.8 percent shooting from three or his 47.9 percent shooting from the free-throw line. It's everything else he does that has made this team competitive without Hairston—and for nine games without Leslie McDonald.
Tokoto is a superior athlete to just about anyone who steps on the hardwood with the sophomore small forward. He dominates the boards for his position by leaping over opponents or flying through the lane with a timely putback jam.
He's fourth on the team—behind three post players—with 5.8 rebounds per game and second on the team with 31 offensive rebounds. Over the last four contests, he's averaging 8.3 rebounds.
That's just the beginning. Defense has also been one of the high points of Tokoto's game.
Tokoto has become one of the deadliest shot-blockers on the squad in that four-game span with nine. He's averaging 0.9 blocks per game on the season and is third on the team with a grand total of 13.
When he stays grounded, he still causes headaches for the opposition with his steals. He's fourth on the team with an average of 1.4 per game and is a constant threat to take it coast-to-coast for a slam. He isn't beyond making defensive errors, but his quickness and length pose a serious threat to anyone he is glued to.
His much-maligned passing is also far better than most folks are willing to give him credit for. Yes, he is prone to turnovers with his gunslinger mentality. He has a tendency to think he can fit the ball in the smallest of windows, which has played a big part in his 2.1 turnovers per game.
But he is very accurate and extremely talented when it comes to dishing the rock. Few small forwards in the game today have his vision and awareness. Only point guards Marcus Paige and Nate Britt have handed out more assists than Tokoto this season for the Tar Heels.
Though he may not be a great shooter at this point in his young collegiate career, he still finds a way to score with his high activity. He's currently fifth on the team with 10.3 points per game, and that has a lot to do with Tokoto being one of the most relentless, active players on the entire roster.
And he occasionally shows glimpses of what he will be capable of in the future with plays like this:
I'm not sure if the correct terminology when referring to people's perspectives of J.P. Tokoto should be "underrated" or "underappreciated."
Yes, the youngster still has a lot of growing to do as a basketball player. But if you can pull aside the veil of negativity, you'll see his constant development throughout this season.
Maybe someday he'll be the Vince Carter so many hoped he would be when they saw his high-flying highlight reels from his prep days. Maybe he won't.
For now, J.P. Tokoto deserves a lot more credit than most are willing to give him. The Tar Heels wouldn't have their heads above water without their most underrated player.
Tokoto is the Tar Heels' secret weapon few saw coming and many have failed to notice.

Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland
Review by Komania
"It's great for beginners... but it sucks for everybody else..."
This was my favorite game. I loved it. When I got it, it was my first Harvest Moon. It seemed like the best game ever. That was then... this is now. Once I played the other Harvest Moon games I felt like this game was lacking somethings. Actually, a lot of things. How the heck can you call this a Harvest Moon. It seems as though Natsume rushed this game. I mean, look back at the others, even the PS game was better than this one.
Graphics 9/10:
I can (can being the keyword) describe the amazing graphics in this game... but I won't. The graphics are so beautifully colorful and vibrant. They are extremly well-done. Everything looks nice and touched up, from the animals to the buildings to the people. The landscape is also very well-done as well. It is beautifully textured and the cel-shading looks amazing. But, good graphics don't make a good game.
Music: 8/10
Very good music. The backround music changes every new season. Even though the music is incredibly good, you won't pay much attention. Although it can get repetitive, it will change before you know it. Overall, the music is great. But, good music doesn't make a good game either.
Sound: 9/10
The best part of this game would have to be the sound. The sound really sounds like it's in the right place. Everytime you use one of your tools, you hear a very nice sound. The animals also make the game even more enjoyable. The cows baa, the chickens cluck, the dog barks. Anyhow, I was happy with the sound and I greatly enjoyed it. But, great sounds don't make a good game.
Gameplay: 6/10
I have to admit, before I played the other Harvest Moon games I thought this was one of the best games ever. But, compared to the other Harvest Moons that I played over the following years, this game was horrible. You remember marrying a beautiful wife and having a kid? Gone. Remember have lots and lots of crops to plant? Gone, there are only four crops to plant. Remember having sheep? Gone. Remember having festivals? Gone. The point of this game is to save the town from becoming a theme park, you need to trigger one of nine events in order to well... Save the Homeland. I guess that's okay. But the thing that bothers me the most about this game is that you get to play for only one year, you may restart the year and keep your money cows, ect... but the people in the town will act as if you just arrived. There is a house upgrade you can get... whoop-dee-doo, ONE house upgrade. I did like the fact that you needed to earn your horse and dog by doing a special task(s). All in all, this Harvest Moon does not live up to the other games. Many people say they upgraded to the PS2, but I think the actually made it worse. The good thing is it's a great game for people who have never played a Harvest Moon game before. Because this game will warm them up for Natsume's latest work, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition that has been released for PS2.
Replay Value: 4/10
Yeah I know you can keep playing. But there isn't much to do. Once your barn and chicken coop are filled, there is nothing left to do. You will have lots of money and nothing to spend it on during the second year of play. The only reason you MAY want to play this again for a few more times is to see the other endings (there are nine in all). But other than that there is no real reason to keep playing.
Rent or Buy?
If you have already played a Harvest Moon game (other than this one) than stay away, buy AWL:SE (A Wonderful Life Special Edition) instead. But if this is your first Harvest Moon game, I recommend buying it, or at least rent it. Beacue AWL:SE may be a little to complex.
Overall: 6/10 - Average: 7.4 (rounded down to 7)

'Be the change you want'
Published: 15th August 2011 12:58 AM |
Last Updated: 16th May 2012 10:22 PM | A+A A- |
We must be the change we want to see," says Monica Pandian, an 18-year-old, second-year plant biology student at Women's Christian College, Chennai. Pandian echoes the same thoughts that the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi once expressed. Pandian's love for animals drove her to become a member of PETA Dishoom Street Team Chennai, which works tirelessly to fight for animal rights all over the world.
Pandian's love for animals and nature developed as a child when the sight of an animal being abused would disturb her. It was the cruelty against animals that propelled her to change her attitude towards life. She became a vegan and realised she had to make a difference.
Ever since, she has been actively involved in the various campaigns and adoption drives organised by PETA. "We have to respect animal rights. We can't rule them," says Pandian. Her belief strengthened when she attended yoga classes and learnt about Swami Vivekananda's teachings.
Pandian is also a part of her college's enviro club which is actively involved in various environmental and ecological conservation activities. She has been a part of awareness rallies and beach clean-up activities.
In her free time, Pandian writes on issues she strongly feels for — nature and animal rights. She actively promotes veganism via Facebook. She also tries to juggle study and her activism by attending weekend meetings of the various PETA activities. Her strong inclination towards nature and animal rights activism has inspired Pandian to pursue MSc in environmental science in future.

AWOLNATION 'Thiskidsnotalright' – Crank It or Yank It?
Electro-rockers AWOLNATION step up to the plate in the latest edition of 'Crank It or Yank It' with their new single 'Thiskidsnotalright'.
'Sail' was the sleeper hit of 2012 and has since become a staple of rock radio. But since then, no other single released by the group has managed to see the same kind of mainstream success.
Taken from the soundtrack for the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us, 'Thiskidsnotalright' has just enough hook and punch to keep listeners coming back, much like 'Sail' does.
Sometimes bands catch lightning in a bottle the first time around and find themselves with the label 'one-hit wonder' and in some instances it's just the beginning of a series of high-charting tunes. In time it'll become more clear as to where AWOLNATION fall into that discussion, but the business at hand today is to see where you stand on 'Thiskidsnotalright'. Give 'er a spin and vote in the below poll.

Shotley Low Quarter was originally a township in the ancient parish of Bywell St. Andrew. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1974 it was part of Hexham Rural District. In 1955 it absorbed the civil parishes of Newlands and Whittonstall. In 1974 rural districts were abolished and Shotley Low Quarter became part of the Tynedale District until 2009 when Northumberland became a unitary authority. Since 1974 it appears to have joined forces with Shotley High Quarter under the simpler name of Shotley which was also the name of the main village in the parish.

Some of the Twitters spambot accounts pose as young American women, but contain Chinese letters, suggesting that they are actually being run by low-paid Chinese internet users.
This began when Free Republic members noticed that Rachel Maddow was trending with identical tweets from nearly identical accounts. The Twitter accounts appeared to belong to young women with the sort of fake names you find in bad novels or spam email accounts.
Liberal blogger Paul Bibeau has noted similar trends involving Morning Joe and the Ed Show. The spam bots also tend to be young and female, with fake sounding names, but their profiles link to Followers Delivery, a Croatian that offers followers, likes and views across different social media services.
Some of the Twitters spambot accounts pose as young American women, but contain Chinese letters, suggesting that they are actually being run by low-paid Chinese internet users. This would not be atypical in the spam world.

The initial defense being made by some liberal sites is that Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, etc are the victims of spam bots who only send these messages to make their accounts seem legitimate. And while spambots do indeed to this, these accounts don't do anything else.
These accounts are linked to a Follower Delivery service and yet they don't do anything else. They don't randomly retweet or tweet messages from FOX News personalities or CNN personalities or just random celebrities. Instead they are created, they push the MSNBC tweet and then put out some fake-sounding personal tweets. They don't break from that pattern except for MSNBC.
Followers Delivery's deluxe Twitter packages promises Desired Target Audiences, which it's safe to say in this case is young women 18-25. That's a demographic that advertisers want really badly. FD promises that their Twitter followers will be absolutely real, but these clearly are not.
FD promises "delivery" within 24 hours. That appears to be roughly the timeline for these Ed Show tweets. Paul points out that FD makes no mention of offering trending services, but it's doubtful that they wouldn't be willing to go there for a client considering everything else that they do. MSNBC personalities don't need Twitter followers. They need Twitter trending topics. And would Croatia's finest follower delivery site fail to deliver?
Trending Twitter topics are seen as a sign of relevance. MSNBC has better ratings than CNN
There's a lot of strange dark territory on the internet, but it does look a lot like MSNBC was using spambots to push its hosts into trending topic territory.

Tribute to Java On Successful Completion Of 20 Years
There is a great news for fans of Java that this week Java have completed its 20 years of success and that's why it is celebrating its 20th anniversary.
Java is a language which show legacy with the piece of technology and this is virtually important as the powerful programming methods and related machines are JVM (java virtual machine).
Java developers are specially celebrating their event due to the huge success of their language and they get success and fame just because of Java development.
Various new versions are launched successfully and get so much trust from the users. Java 7 and Java 8 are the most recent version which shows the interest of users on Java and its program.

Sort of technology are envisioned as this work as the major milestone in way of Java. Set up boxes are the best example for the embedded devices and with Java programming this is possible, Java software development and with the heartily efforts of Java developers.
As other technology feel failure, Java feel it too
As a child fall again and again and finally he or she learns how to walk and same thing happens with Java. This is not probably processing to get success can be attained without being failure. Failure makes us to realize the true meaning of success and Java got success only because of its failure.
Ignorance of Java by users
The main fault in the earlier Java apps is in their Java software development. Java developers develop similar programs which seem as each other. This is not an acceptable thing by users so they ignore Java that time completely and thus developers are forced to develop something innovative.
After being failure eventually it get a huge success in public life and business life both then it starts achieving its goals. Every business group especially related to the technical and computer devices, demand for the user interest to achieve something.
Main achievement or award for Java is the offered properties or favors to their clients for the great experience are:
Affectionate responsibility of java

Experts and other, all can use java not only for work but for entertainment also
Oriented syntax object for rigorous
Users interface built graphically with java
Various modes of updates are released into the market for daily updates like Java 6, Java 7 and Java 8. Most recent version Java 8 and many others are present in several other modified forms according to user's interest and Java development is the main objective for the development of business.
Popular version of IT in the market with Java
IT department is the most popular topic for which everyone is talking about now a day and this is not only for the readers but for the practical department too. Without informational technology, this is not possible to get entertainment, tone and communication and many more things.
Comparable Java from past Java technology
If we move back and see the Java of 1995, then this will surly shock you. This is completely different from the present and now all the impossible tasks are possible very easily only with few easy steps of Java. Java software development now turn in this way that no technical industry can even think to progress without this.
Java is now reached to the point where upcoming version that is Java 9 is up to come and this will definitely well than the present all the versions or choices. Selecting Java program is very confusing because all the versions are much better than each other.
Features of Java 9
Java development makes it true and more comfortable for the users and the upcoming Java 9 with unique features. This gives security advices to the users and also provides the clients with tighter bond. Internet explorer is dead almost and the capability is increased by the new version of Java that is Java 9.
Future need of Java will increase or decrease?
If clients or users think without a single week with Java then this is really a big shock for them. So there is no possibility to decrease the demand of Java. Popularity and demand for Java software development services especially for the upcoming Java 9 is surely increases with a great demand.

If you've ever worked outside of the home at a brick and mortar office, your employer may offered you benefits, including the opportunity to save a portion of your check into a 401k retirement account – and your employer may have matched some or all of the money that you put into your 401k. If you work from home though, you may not have that option, especially if you work as a independent contractor. The good news is that if you do work from home, you can still save for retirement. There are a few different types of retirement accounts you can open – the traditional or Roth IRA, Solo 401k, SEP IRA and SIMPLE IRA. This article will provide some information on each of them.
Traditional or Roth IRA –
Everyone can open one of these accounts, whether you work from home or not. The main difference between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA is that with a traditional IRA, you won't pay taxes on the money you save in the account until after you start making withdrawals from the account. With a Roth IRA whoever, you'll pay taxes on your contributions before you retire, but after you retire you won't have to pay taxes on the money you withdraw. If you choose to open one of these accounts, you can contribute a maximum of $5,000 per year before the age of 50 – after the age of 50 you can contribute a maximum of $6,000 a year.
Solo 401k –
This is the best choice for a lot of freelancers that work for themselves and don't have anyone working with them except a spouse. Your limit on contributions to a Solo 401k is $16,500, and you won't pay taxes on that money until you retire. You can also contribute 20% of your self-employment income to your solo 401k, but the total maximum for your contributions cannot exceed $49,000. If you're 50 or old you can contribute an additional $5,500 in catch-up contributions, and if your spouse works with you they can also contribute up to $49,000.
You can open an SEP IRA whether you have employees or not – however if you do have employees you need to contribute the same amount for your employees that you do for yourself – so if you contribute 20% of your income, you also need to contribute 20% of your employees' income. One thing that's great about SEP IRAs is that you don't have to contribute every year – if your income fluctuates one year and you can't afford to make contributions, you don't have to. SEP IRAs are usually used by people who are earning a lot of money and who can afford to make enough contributions to max out the SEP IRA, as well as the SEP IRAs of their employees.
You can contribute up to $11,500 every year to a SIMPLE IRA, and if you're 50 or older you can contribute an additional $2,500 a year to catch up. If you have employees, you also need to contribute to their IRAs, either by making a matching contribution of up to 3%, or by contributing a 2% fixed contribution regardless of how much the employees earn.
So how do you go about opening one of these accounts? The best place to start is to contact your local bank to find out the process for opening a traditional or Roth IRA – be sure to find out the minimum amount needed to open one, as well as if the bank charges any fees. If your bank doesn't offer one of these retirement accounts, you can also contact places like Vanguard, Fidelity, and Etrade, which have lower fees than many banks, to find out about their requirements for opening any of the IRA choices mentioned, or for opening a solo 401k.
I hope this post has provided you with some valuable information. Be sure to check out the e-book "Saving for Retirement without Living Like a Pauper or Winning the Lottery
" by Gail Marks Jarvis – it provides a lot information on how to figure out how much to save for retirement, as well as how to figure out how much money you should invest in the different stocks and bonds that you have a choice of investing in when you open an IRA or 401k plan. You can download it to Kindle, one of the free Kindle reading apps available for many smartphones, or you can download it straight to your computer. Happy saving!

Identical triplets receive chemo in fight against rare eye cancer
Watch the video above: Identical triplets receive chemo in fight against rare eye cancer. Crystal Goomansingh reports.
Thomas, Mason and Luke – a brave trio of identical triplets – have had their eyes examined, treated with lasers and chemotherapy and in one case removed altogether.
The identical triplets have a rare eye cancer. Last week the trio from Cardston, Alta. turned three months old, and went under general anesthetic so doctors at Sick Kids Hospital could assess the tiny tumours forming in their eyes.
Thomas had to have his right eye removed: The tumour was growing and causing the retina to detach. It could have even spread to his brain.
Mason's left eye has a large tumour blocking his central vision – he won't be able to recover that vision but his parents are hopeful they won't have to remove it.
Luke has had several tumours, smaller in size, that doctors are now treating.
Between their six eyes, five have tumours. They'll need treatment and follow up care for the rest of their lives.
And their parents Richard and Leslie have become very, very good at looking on the bright side.
READ MORE: One of three triplets with rare eye cancer undergoes surgery
"We keep trying to focus on the positive…they each have one really good eye. Even though so many things have been going wrong, we truly do feel like we're being blessed through this and so many miracles have happened," Leslie told Global News.
Last fall was the first of the miracles: The Low family learned they had conceived triplets naturally. They family recently moved to Alberta.
But a few months after the triplets were born, Richard – who is a medical resident on his way to becoming a doctor – noticed a strange change in Mason.
"I noticed Mason had an odd pupil like a tear drop, I thought it was a little odd," Richard said.
READ MORE: Identical triplets begin battle to fight rare eye cancer
With the help of a retina specialist, Mason was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer that is common in young children.
After the doctor looked at the remaining triplets, he told their parents that all three are suffering from the condition.
Now, they're in the careful hands of Dr. Brenda Gallie, an expert ophthalmologist at Sick Kids. The family will be in Toronto for another week so that Gallie can monitor the babies' eyes to see how treatment has progressed and if new tumours form.
Gallie said that with the triplets, there are two types of tumours she's dealing with: With one tumour, she can stall growth by killing off cells – but if they survive, the tumour can recur and at any age. Other tiny, new tumours start uniquely in the eye, they stop forming by age three or four when the retina matures.
"We never stop looking for them, but they're very rare," Gallie told Global News.
Anything not killed by therapy can recur. For that reason, unless the eye is removed, patients aren't conventionally "cured" of the cancer.
Typically, certain gene mutations put children at risk of developing this eye cancer, but neither of the triplets' parents have a history of retinoblastoma in their families. If the boys have children, their offspring have a 50 per cent chance of having the eye cancer.
But Richard and Leslie are keeping their spirits up, especially with the support of people from around the country and the world. They say they've received letters and emails, messages of hope from fellow retinoblastoma patients and fundraising efforts that have helped them cover medical expenses.
"It's amazing how generous and kind people are," Richard said.
Thomas, Mason and Luke also help: "Babies are therapeutic so when we've had our hard days, you just pick one of them up and think 'I'd go through this again if I had to,'" Leslie said.
"It's just so special to be their parents. Even though it's hard we wouldn't trade it."
Click here to donate to the triplets.
(Retinoblastoma can be detected early on. Take a picture of your child with a flash and look for red eye. White in the pupil could be light bouncing off a tumour. The Canadian Retinoblastoma Society offers more information.)

Review Rategreat product
This product was recommended by the local hardware store, but they unable to keep up the demands for this product. So I started ordering it online to keep a supply. It really traps all the flies in the area and keeps them from coming in my house, which is what happens when I open my front door.
Review RateAwesome
I have 3 and am amazed at how fast this works. Our fly population is awesome now thank you
Review RateVictor Fly MagnetI bought the Victor fly magnet and was amazed how well it worked. Several days it was 1/2 full. I went on youe website and purchased several more traps and bait. I was amazed how fast they arrived you have a happy customer for life.
Review Rategreat fly trapGreat fly trap- really works
Review RateFlat Out Works!I bought this trap when the weather just started to get warm. Flys started swarming and began coming into the house. I followed the directions, but also removed the label to see inside better. Every 4 or 5 days, in the morning when all of the trapped flys have drown, I use a bent slotted spoon to remove the dead flys, placing their swollen bodies in my compost pile. After about 10 days or so I add a touch of powdered bait to the liquid in the trap, swirl, add a touch of water and then put it back together. In two months I have eliminated literally THOUSANDS of flys from the area. This trap ROCKS! It stinks, so it is out back away from the back door. I HIGHLY recommend this trap as it is super effective and well worth the eight bucks!
Review RateAmazon ReviewWorked great!
Review RateAmazon ReviewThese are AWESOME!!!. We live in cattle country so have LOTS of flies. We hang these about 15 feet away from back doors (have 2) and the flies swarm them. Once they are in, they don't come back out. So far have killed many thousands of flies. Have almost NO flies in the house. The down side is the smell - absolutely awful - like spoiled meat - so have to put peppermint oil under the nose when cleaning them out. Also, you will need to purchase the Magnet Bait mix. We use half what it calls for and have no problem. Highly recommend these.
Review RateAmazon ReviewSmells like crap (as it should I guess) but it works like a charm.
Review RateAmazon ReviewThese work great, I've filled the smaller bottles up and thought I'd go for the big boy. -2 stars because these things stink so bad. You can't have your cake and eat it too though so +1 star for keeping my back yard relatively fly free. I hate flies so I mostly just like when the trap gets filled up then wave my hand close to the trap and see them scatter but not be able to go anywhere...I love it. This thing easily kills 1000-2000 flies before it fills up...yesssssss.
Review RateAmazon ReviewI was intrigued by the idea of this trap when I saw it, I bought it, and use it. As long as I keep it centralized in the room I use for it, the flies seem to flock to it. I noticed however, that when set in a corner, or out of the main thoroughway of the house, the flies dont seem to notice it. I keep mine in the center of the dining room table as that is where it is needed most. No, it doesn't smell bad, it has almost no smell at all. Yes, it is slightly unattractive to look at as a centerpiece, but yes, it is functional. Saves me lots of time from swatting flies, I have caught so many in my trap, I have only been using it for a week, and it is almost time to empty and change the bait packet, which are super cheap at your local hardware store. There is some maintenance to this product, it does need to be rinsed between uses, and bait needs to be remixed when jar is full. Over all, great product, I love how it does the work for me.
- All About
All About Flies Victor® Fly Magnet™ Trap with Bait Controls
Houseflies (black, non-glossy body) and blowflies (metallic blue/green/gold body) are the most common types found around homes -- both are categorized as "filth flies". Houseflies are attracted more toward animal manure and decayed food, while the blowfly is attracted more to decayed meat (road kill) or fish.
Learn more about flying insects:
- Control Options
Controlling Flying Insects
Indoor and outdoor fly traps containing non-poisonous baits, fly paper, and aerosol sprays containing pyrethrins/d-limonene are types of products for controlling houseflies.
Indoor fly traps can be safely used inside the home when directions are followed. Outdoor fly traps can be used when many flies have infiltrated an area. There are different types of fly paper available for indoor and outdoor use as well.
Use non-poisonous aerosols such as those containing mint oil, pyrethrin, and d-limonene for spot control.
Outdoor fly traps contain food attractants that draws flies. These traps should be placed outdoors according to trap instructions. Set these traps away from outdoor living spaces. By attracting flies, the trap will keep them away from your home, patio or deck.
Indoor fly traps may also contain food based baits and can be used safely in the home when directions are followed. Some traps attract flies just because of their 3-D look. Flies are always looking for a place to land and the color contrast of some traps creates the look of an edge for them to land. Fly paper, an adhesive type of paper, can be placed around windows, in garages, and in barns and stables.
Use aerosols in accordance with directions on the product label.
Fly traps and fly paper should be placed when fly numbers increase. Flies increase in numbers as the temperature rises and often after rainfall since these factors cause the flies' eggs to hatch.
Flies are less active and roost in corners, on ceilings and on the tops of window panes during the heat of the day. Spraying them at this time of day is the most suggested use of aerosol sprays.
Why Choose a Solution?
Solutions break down quickly to their natural elements. They are preferable to chemical pesticides that leave residuals where they are sprayed causing long-term detrimental affects on the environment.
Environmental Controls
Methods of controlling houseflies include all of the following: removing organic debris from the inside or outside of your house, properly maintaining screens and screen doors, and closing off any cracks in your outside walls that would allow flies to enter your home.
Remove organic debris and trash near your home and in your yard. Place it in a trash bag and tightly close it. Put it out on trash day.
Make sure all of your windows have screens on them. Fix or replace any screens containing holes. Keep doors or screen doors closed.
Use caulk or weatherstripping to fill in any cracks or holes in the outside walls of your home.
Pet waste should be cleaned and disposed of often and removed with the trash weekly.
Remove any organic debris and trash from inside as well as outside of your home throughout the year.
Check screens and screen door before installing or using in the Spring. Periodically check them throughout the summer. Also, check them in the fall before storing them.
Fill in any cracks or holes in your outside walls in late summer or early fall before houseflies enter your home in search of warmer surroundings.
- Tips
Tips for Trapping Flies
- The system will generally attract flies from a distance of 30-40 feet, depending on wind conditions.
- Add water to the trap if the solution gets below the fill line. Water is needed to drown the trapped flies.
- Flies like heat, light, low wind. Place traps in sunny areas. If in an enclosed area such as a barn, place traps within 6 feet of an electrical light.
- Flies search low for food sources. Traps are most beneficial when placed 24 inches or less from ground level.
- Flies remain dormant until their body temperature reaches approximately 65 degrees F. Do not expect much activity below this temperature.
- Bait is also reusable for a period of time. Remove dead flies from liquid bait and add enough water to return liquid bait level to fill line.
- Replace bait when you notice a marked decrease in the number of flies in the trap.
- FAQs
Flying Insect Trap - FAQs
Q: How do your Fly Traps compare in efficacy to one another and to an ultraviolet trap?
A: For outdoor use for flies, the fly trap is definitely the best. If by ultraviolet, you mean bug zappers, they are ok, but attract a lot of other insects that are otherwise not a problem, including beneficial insects. More»
Q: What is the fly bait made of and is the odor offensive?
A: The bait formulation is proprietary, but consists mostly of food grade ingredients, to be more specific (proteins). The odor is not as strong if the trap is placed in an area with a lot of air circulation. The important thing is that the flies love it!
Q: What do you recommend for indoor use and why?
A: I recommend Victor® Fly Tape, or Victor® Fly Strip for use indoor. This will attract and trap flies very effectively, and without the odor. More»

Indonesia's Fire Outbreaks Producing More Daily Emissions than Entire US Economyby , , and -
According to estimates released this week by Guido van der Werf on the Global Fire Emissions Database, there have been nearly 100,000 active fire detections in Indonesia so far in 2015, which since September have generated emissions each day exceeding the average daily emissions from all U.S. economic activity. Following several recent intense outbreaks of fires—in June 2013, March 2014 and November 2014—the country is now on track to experience more fires this year than it did during the 2006 fire season, one of its worst on record.
On 26 of the past 44 days (indicated in gold), daily estimated GHG emissions from fires in Indonesia surpassed average daily emissions from the entire US economy (approximately 15.95 Mt CO2 per day). A massive spike in emissions can be seen on October 14, when 4,719 fires were observed.

Emissions Spikes Caused by Burning Peatlands
Global Forest Watch Fires shows that more than half of these fires have occurred on peatland areas, concentrated mainly in South Sumatra, South and Central Kalimantan, and Papua. These regions continue to suffer major fires as the fire alerts density map below shows, with few signs that occurrences are diminishing.

The burning of tropical peatlands is so significant for greenhouse gas emissions because these areas store some of the highest quantities of carbon on Earth, accumulated over thousands of years. Draining and burning these lands for agricultural expansion (such as conversion to oil palm or pulpwood plantations) leads to huge spikes in greenhouse gas emissions. Fires also emit methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2), but peat fires may emit up to 10 times more methane than fires occurring on other types of land. Taken together, the impact of peat fires on global warming may be more than 200 times greater than fires on other lands.
Putting the Data in Perspective
What does a climate catastrophe look like in a real world context? Since September, daily emissions from Indonesia's fires exceeded daily emissions from the entire U.S. economy on 26 days. To put it into perspective, the U.S. economy is 20 times larger than Indonesia's. Van der Werf pointed out in a recent report that emissions from these fires over a three-week period are also already higher than the total annual CO2 emissions of Germany.
On October 14, which had the highest number of fires to date this year with 4,719, MODIS Terra imagery reveals smoke plumes from massive peat fires on Kalimantan.

How did we compare emissions from Indonesia's fires to US emissions?
Van der Werf's research team developed rough estimates of the greenhouse gas emissions arising from recent Indonesia fires using estimates from past years based on satellite data and fire emissions models. They calculated that the 96,937 fires in Indonesia detected to date this year emitted roughly 1,043 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions (Mt CO2eq) cumulatively. Based on the modeled relationship of fire counts to emissions, it is possible to estimate daily emissions based on the number of fires occurring on a specific day.
Using this information, it becomes apparent that on 26 of the past 44 days (up to October 14), daily estimated greenhouse gas emissions from fires in Indonesia surpassed average daily emissions from the entire US economy (approximately 15.95 Mt CO2 per day).
For Indonesia, the Climate Challenge Is a Land Management Challenge
Reducing emissions from fires is a significant challenge. Last month, Indonesia released a draft of its new climate plan, or Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), ahead of the climate negotiations taking place at the Paris COP in December. The draft INDC calls for at least a 29 percent emissions reduction below business as usual by 2030— and up to 41 percent in reduction with international assistance and cooperation. While the new data shows how fires present a major challenge to reaching this goal, Indonesia can still make progress if the government focuses on better land planning, improved law enforcement, and alternatives for small farmers to burning land. If Indonesia is to meet its climate commitment, making significant investments in these areas to prevent future fires must be the first step.
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this post omitted the word "million" from a figure for the overall emissions of Indonesia's fires this year. The number has been updated to read "1,043 million metric tons".
Dear Sirs, To fight global
Dear Sirs, To fight global warming, have the United Nations create 'The Global 50/50 Lottery', the world's first honest global lottery, to raise the massive funds needed to buy clean electricity generating wind, solar, ocean and water systems, to replace the electricity from our coal burning electric power plants, which are emitting the carbon dioxide that is causing global warming. Remember, human greed is like a force of nature that can move mountains. If we can exploit it to fight global warming, we just might beat it!
You're barking up the wrong
You're barking up the wrong tree.
Clean energy is not the issue (although it is true that Indonesia is an oil producer.) Forest fires has nothing to do with the production of clean energy
Forest land is being cleared by slash and burn practices. In Indonesia forests are being burned down to make way for plantations - sometimes rubber but mainly palm oil.
The real solution to this problem is to find out who's behind the burning, which companies are buying from these guys, and hang them out to dry.
I agree. I have lived in
I agree. I have lived in Indonesia and seen massive areas of former forest/jungle cleared to make way for Plam Oil plantations. When I lived there, there was much press about Malaysian companys being the main perpetrators of the burning for clearing. Is this still the case? How can we confirm this, and what can be done?
I totally agree, The cross
I totally agree, The cross over between government and private interests in this slash and burn process is so linked that there is no will to do anything about this problem except lip surface. The financial benefit and greed is so huge that all will be done to hide the real culprits.
This is an endemic issue in Indonesia that has to be dealt with but will be a very slow process that requires strength and education of the youth.
It's no use writing reams and
It's no use writing reams and reams about the haze!
Indonesia don't give a damn if its annual haze kills thousands of their own citizens in addition to those in the region.
The only thing that WRI can do is to get the UN to impose an immediate ban on all pulp/paper products and oil palm products from Indonesia with immediate effect.
That's only for a start.
If they still don't learn their lesson, then a complete sanction a la Iran must be imposed immediately on them.
That is the only way to make them stop this deadly nonsense that has been going for two decades.
Is WRI up to it?????????
Demand for sustainable
Demand for sustainable commodities |
Hi Damocles. I think you flatter us at WRI with your over-estimation of our influence! Something to consider here is the role that third-party certification of commodities could play. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil for example, has significantly fewer fires on certified "sustainable" concessions when compared with other palm oil producing land. Certification for timber and woodpulp could have a similar effect. Certification could be scaled up by increased consumer demand for sustainable products, perhaps driven by passionate people such as yourself! You can read more here.

Please correct your math on the impact of Indonesia's burning peatlands on global warming. Methane's correct CO2 equivalent (84-100x worse than CO2 for 20 years; 21-34x only after 50-100 years). For the first crucial 20 years, burning peatlands could have ~4x the impact stated above; i.e. "Taken together, the impact of peat fires on global warming may be more than 800 times greater than fires on other lands."

Hi Gabriele, thanks for your note. Indeed the methane emissions from Indonesia's fires could cause an even greater warming impact than estimated, which makes the crisis all the more urgent. We use the widely accepted 100 year time horizon in line with common GHG accounting practices and the source cited in the blog.

It needs some serious attention. Why our President, Barack Hussein Obama, who supposedly is trying to lead the world into combating climate change, is doing nothing with his bully pulpit about this, is beyond me.
For five days now on my way
For five days now on my way home to school , I was wondering why there was a widespread" fogs" across the rice field and the highways when fogs naturally don't reach down in these low areas in the past months and years. It was when my mom informed me that it wasn't a fog but a haze and emission coming from Indonesia's forests fire reaching us in the coastal areas of Mindanao.
People are affected here especially kids suffer from respiratory diseases,adults suffered the same ,worst some succumb to death. It is very alarming! there must be an urgent action for the Indonesia's gov't to handle and solve such carelessness.
I believe if nature takes care of others, humans must do the same.
If humans are too greedy to gain and take advantage of others no matter what it cost them, then we stop existing.
" Nature is not a place to visit, it is H O M E."
Let us be in one way or the other take a stand to help save lives,
... it will be destroyed without us taking the risk .
The destruction of millions
The destruction of millions of acres of oxygen producing forests worldwide, particularly in equatorial rainforests, have had a measurable negative impact on the ratio of oxygen/carbon dioxide balance globally. Why is this never mentioned during the discussion?
We should approach the
We should approach the owners of such industries that are the main cause.
Thank u.
The owners of these companies
The owners of these companies should be contacted, but also the owners of those companies that are buying the palm oil from them! Isn't doing something like burning entire regions of forests and peat lands for profit a crime against humanity? Not to mention the killing of wildlife that cannot escape these fires and/or whose only habitat is destroyed. And more into it, the killing of endangered and threatened species. I'd say this is definitely criminal. While working on the "Indonesia: Illegal Burning" campaign on Tomnod.com, I noticed that wherever there was fire, there was a large palm oil company not very far away! And for some, especially in the media to blame this on "small farmers" is such a blatant lie it's disgusting! A "small farmer" is NOT going to burn down forest areas the size of entire towns! Wherever there had been fires, the areas have been sectioned off (for planting) with the apparent use of GPS. This is not something a "small farmer" is going to utilize.
One last point: More effort has to be made to make EVERYONE aware of this major criminal problem. When the majority of the people are unaware of a problem, to them it's as if there isn't a problem!
ask the Suhartos and the

Because on their website, although there are very other serious problems which are making the big titles, it seems that the destruction of Indonesian forest, which might be a geocide, isn't worth a news article.

Since methane is highly combustible burning creates a lot of atmospheric CO2 but how does burning add methane to the atmosphere?

Classroom Rules
Classroom RulesIn our classroom, we have six rules that are to be followed. They are:
1. Raise your hand before speaking
2. Listen while others are talking
3. Respect the people and things around you
4. Be quiet while others are working
5. Follow directions the first time given
6. Always try your best!
If any of rules are broken, I use a stoplight that has 3 chances. They are:
1. Verbal Warning - Stay on Green
2. Turn stoplight to yellow - Warning
3. Turn stoplight to red – Put a B on chart
(Not able to participate in Team Time/Extra Recess on a Friday.)
If any rules continue to be broken past the red signal, I will notify you by a note or a phone call.
*Many times the children don't have to get past the warning because they fix the behavior on their own!!!
"Cool Cats"
This is a student's chance to be caught doing something good. When they are seen doing something extra nice or polite, they get a "Cool Cat" ticket and their ticket can be used for something special from Mrs. Yencho!

So, we decided this year to make a group Halloween theme. My friend, Christina, and I have toddlers 6 weeks apart and thought, What a perfect idea...they can be Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm! Then we figured, the kids cant do it alone! So, I designed, re-created and sewed seven costumes for the group. We had Wilma, Fred, & Pebbles Flintstone; Barney, Betty & Bamm-Bamm Rubble & teenage-Bamm-Bamm. We also decided that carrying the kids around all night trick-or-treating (they can walk, but we didnt want to make them!) was not a good idea. So, I searched the internet and saw pictures of a Flintstone car recreated on Instructables. This gave me the idea for the car! The Instructable didnt have measurements, so we had to go from scratch, but it turned out great.
I was hoping to find a pattern at the fabric store for some of the costumes, but to no avail, I didnt find one. So, I made all the costumes from scratch with my own patterns.
Fred Flintstone: I used a large t-shirt as a pattern and twill fabric. The tie is cut from Bettys fabric (cotton interlock) and the black triangles are cut and ironed on with Pellon.
Wilma Flintstone: I used a snug-fitting tank top of hers for a pattern and used cotton interlock fabric. I sewed a few seams and luckily, it fit perfectly!! The necklace is made of different sized white Styrofoam balls on elastic string.
Pebbles Flintstone: I used a small shirt as a pattern and regular cotton fabric. The black triangles are cut and ironed on with Pellon.
Barney Rubble: I used a large t-shirt as a pattern and twill fabric, like Freds. The yellow X is made from ribbon.
Betty Rubble: I used cotton interlock fabric and a tank top for a pattern. I hemmed the back straight across and put elastic to hold it up. I cut in a semi-circle from the bottom of the armpits in the front to the neckline to make the halter-top. I sewed ribbons to the point to tie around my neck. I made a rectangle of fabric and squeezed together the middle to make the bow. Then I wrapped a piece of ribbon around it and hot glued it to a barrette.
Bamm-Bamm & Teenage Bamm-Bamm: I used fleece for the skirt/shorts and a flannel strip for the strap and hot glued on a rawhide dog bone. I used a baby skirt to design the pattern for baby Bamm-Bamms. Then I used a pair of gym shorts to design the pattern for Teenage Bamm-Bamm.
Enjoy the pics
we sure had a blast and got stopped several times trick-or-treating for other people to take our pictures
we were a hit!!
The whole crew:

Get Your Vitamins at the Battle of the Oranges Ivrea Italy!
Winter in Italy means citrus. It is one of the best times of year to take a break from your Italian sightseeing and have a delicious, tangy, freshly squeezed, glass of orange juice. (A Tour Italy now tip – ask for a Spremuta when you visit the bar)
The Annual Battle of the Oranges is another way the Northern Italian town of Ivrea, located near the chocolate capital of Turin, consumes the winter citrus bounty. This historic event, dating back to medieval times takes place during the Carnival period. Carnevale happens all over Italy, not just the very well known celebrations that occur in Venice, with major celebrations happening forty days before Lent.
The history of this exciting event dates back to 1194 and is a little murky. The most popularly held belief holds that the Conte Rainieri di Biandrate, who was the town of Ivrea's ruling count, made a decree that was named "the right of the first night" granting him the right to sleep with every new bride in the town. Violetta was the daughter of a local miller and when her night with the count arrived, she had a different plan in mind. She refused to honor the decree and instead chopped off the Count's head with a sharp dagger. Violettas's bold action sparked a revolution by the citizens of Ivrea who fought their oppressors by throwing stones and winning their liberation.
Now this battle for liberty for the townspeople of Ivrea is fought each year with oranges in place of the stones. The oranges of the Ivrea battles represent the head of the marquis. A young woman is chosen to represent Violetta. Dressed in white, she is called "mugnaia", meaning "miller" and tours the city, throwing flowers and candy to the crowd.
With roughly 3,000 participants, the battle is fought between groups of men on foot called the Arancieri a Piede, who represent the people of Ivrea revolting against the tyrant count. They are divided into the following nine teams and represent five main Piazzas in the town.
I Diavoli (the Devils) This is one of the most famous of the teams, and they wear a red tunic and a yellow scarf.
Aranceri Morte (Death) This group comes from the San Grato neighborhood and wears a black tunic with red pants.
Asso di Picche (Ace of Spades) Made up of players from the Ivrea football club and wear a red and blue uniform featuring the ace of spades emblem.
Scacchi (Chess Piece) taking their name from the original orange-throwers who were 16 in number, like the number of pieces on one side of a chess board. They wear a black and white checked tunic with an orange scarf.
Scorpione d'Arduini (Name of an old King) This teams wears a yellow tunic with a scorpion on the back.
Mercenari (Mercenaries) symbolized by a five pointed star, this team wears blue jeans and a patterned scarf.
I Credendari Aranceri (the Believers) the most recent team to be founded and wear yellow and blue.
Pantere Nera (Black Panthers) The last team to participate, this group wears blcak with a yellow striped scarf.
I Tuchini del Borghetto (Crow) Tucchini is a word from Piedmonte dialect meaning all united and this group takes as its symbol a crow. They wear red and green.
The Arancieri a Piede, battle the Aranceri da Getto, who represent the aristocracy. There are forty different teams of citizens of Ivrea, wearing pads and with their faces covered by masks or helmets and who ride aboard decorated horse drawn carriages.
Another very important element of the festivities is the Phrygian cap, Berretto Frigio in Italian. Dating from ancient Roman times and an important symbol of the French revolution, this long red stocking hat is now worn to symbolize freedom from tyranny and the pursuit of liberty. It is worn by participants who are not throwing any oranges and therefore no one will throw oranges at you.
On the last night of Carnival (Martedi Grasso) there are bonfires in each of the neighborhoods and a final gathering in the Piazza Ottinetti where people say farewell until the next yaer with the traditional Piedmonte saying "arvedse a giòbia a'n bòt" (good-bye till Thursday at one)
The event ends on Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, with the cooking of a traditional dish of Polenta and cod (Polenta e merluzzo) served in the Piazza Lamarmora.
Another very important tip from the team at Tour Italy Now. Don't want to get pelted by oranges and covered in sticky juice? There are viewing spots around town where nets are set up to watch the action in relative safety. and make sure you have that red hat.
Want to get an idea of the festivities? This video of the Ivrea Orange Festival from a few years ago, is a good start.

Ward Kimball Remembered
Page 1 of 1
(c) Disney
Ive lost a hero.
Veteran personality animator and film pioneer Ward Kimball was the only animator on Walts staff who he openly referred to as "a genius." After a year long battle with failing health including pneumonia, Kimball passed away this morning at his home in Southern California. He was 88 years old.
According to sources, Kimball was joking even up to the very end. Ever the prankster and a passionate trombone playing founder of the legendary "Fire House Five - Plus Two", Ward Kimball leaves behind a legacy of extraordinary animated magic, mayhem and madness which includes the insanely predatory Lucifer the cat in "Cinderella", the enigmatic and ever-grinning Cheshire Cat in "Alice in Wonderland" and everybodys crooning conscience - Jiminy Cricket.
Born March 4, 1914 in Minneapolis, Kimball was the fourth of the legendary "Nine Old Men" to join the Disney Studio, starting work in the spring of 1934. Author John Canemaker in his book "Walt Disneys Nine Old Men and the Art of Animation" tells the story like this:
"Kimballs Mother reluctantly agreed to drive him in their old Buick down the coastline to Los Angels and the Hyperion Avenue Studio just this once. At twelve cents a gallon, they go barely afford enough gas to go down and back.
His mother parked in front of the studio, which embarrassed Ward. Nervously , he dragged his portfolio in and announced to the receptionist, Mary Flanigan, that he was applying for a job and presented his samples....Word eventually came back that they would like to keep his samples for a while and make a decision later.
Kimball began to wail, No, I gotta know today! I cant come back I dont have enough money to buy gas to come back! Cant they let me know today? Apparently, his portfolio was impressive; for after a lengthy phone conversation with Ms. Flanigan, they hired Kimball on the spot. He would start the next week on April 2, reporting to Mr. Ben Shapsteen."
His ever-whirling imagination drew him to less rigid forms of personality animation that some termed "limited", but which Kimball himself preferred to call "stylized." The best examples of this are the "Adventures in Music: Melody" and "Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom." His 1969 short film "Its Tough To Be A Bird" won him an Academy Award for Best Animated Short and his terrifically witty "Mars and Beyond" is still looping on the screen at a Disney-MGM Studios Dine-In Theatre.
Kimballs personal fascination with trains is said to have inspired Walt to build the Disneyland Railroad - making Kimball - along with Disney and fellow animator Ollie Johnston - the founder of a triumvirate that all ran full or nearly full scale railways through their back yards.
Kimball is survived by his son John, his daughter Kelly (herself a wonderful artist and historian working in the animation industry) and his wife of 66 years, Betty who was working in Disney ink and paint when they married in 1936. But he leaves behind countless "children" in the form of characters who took their cue from Kimballs wildly inventive staging and free-spirited animation.
Its odd to think that midway through his career Kimball found himself arguing at length with other colleagues who found it confusing to have Donald and Jose and Panchito enter and exiting from different sides - left, right, top and bottom - of the screen in "The Three Caballeros." The other animators were certain that Walt would go ballistic when he saw it. Instead Walt was delighted. Now that same madness is mothers milk to the makers of films like "Aladdin" and "The Emperors New Groove." In fact, Kimballs genius is arguably at the roots of many of the second and third generations wildest and funniest successes. That isnt an argument to accuse the next generation of talent of being unoriginal - in fact quite the opposite. But it does point to the very simple fact that modern personality animators turn to the pioneers of the industry for their inspiration. They take their cues from the men and women who invented the craft, and then bring their own brilliance to the mix. Id dare say that some of the genetic material with which Jumba Jookiba generated Stitch came from Kimball himself.
So, when you wish upon your next star, give a little whistle for Ward Kimball and say thanks for a lifetime of delight.

Lifelong Educations
Prime Arcanum
Hallows, illusions, magical imbuement, Mana, resonance, tass.
Prime is the light that burns without heat, the energy that defies description. It is the power that courses through all things in material existence and which serves as the skeleton on which all willworkers hang their magic. Prime is an Arcanum of mystic power, named for the prima materia, the Supernal substance. Thus, it is often practiced by those who would seek to possess mastery over the subtle and otherwise largely unquantifiable substance that serves as mages' medium.
Awakened who concentrate on Prime tend to be passionate, though they are often driven to loftier ends than the majority of people: self-mastery, understanding of Creation and enlightenment. These sorts usually have an intense drive to understand the "whys" and "wherefores" of reality. Some have their curiosity satisfied merely by learning answers to their questions, while others capitalize on knowledge to control what they understand now. Many Prime willworkers have a particular lust for life, an energy that impels them to be ever active, moving forward toward some objective (which need not be easilyquantifiable).
Ruling Realm: The Aether
