Aundrea Singer
Writer in Texas
Aundrea Singer was born in Canada and grew up on a hobby farm back when you could still buy chicks and ducklings at the local farmers' market. She made up stories about her favorite cartoon characters long before she knew there was such a thing as fanfiction, and began writing about characters of her own after she saw "Star Wars" when she was five. From the first words of the opening scrawl, she knew she wanted to create universes like George Lucas did--just on paper.
Aundrea Singer was first published in Edge Books' Tesseracts 3 anthology when she was eighteen. Since then she has been published in anthology magazines and textbooks for fiction and language arts in Canada. More recently she had a short story chosen for the Tesseracts 14 anthology, and three stories (with one co-written) in short story anthologies by Dreamspinner Press.
She moved to Texas with her then-boyfriend in 2001, and is still optimistic that one day she'll get used to the heat. She lives with her wonderful husband, the best little boy in the world, and four cats who love sleeping on her keyboard. She now has three novels with Dreamspinner Press.

Rand Paul says he's considering a 2016 presidential bid
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
WASHINGTON – Republican Sen. Rand Paul said mulling a 2016 White House run gives him a "larger microphone" to spread his libertarian brand of politics, telling reporters he won't make a final decision on a presidential bid until sometime next year.
Paul -- son of libertarian icon and erstwhile presidential candidate Ron Paul – gained notoriety last month for his 13-hour-long filibuster of CIA Director John Brennan's nomination, in which the Kentucky senator assailed the Obama administration for initially refusing to rule out the use of drones against U.S. citizens on American soil.
"We're considering it," Paul told reporters Wednesday at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, noting that he will continue to travel to early primary states including Iowa and New Hampshire.
As the Republican Party continues to reel from the heavy losses it suffered at the ballot box in November, Paul has urged his GOP colleagues to do a better job of reaching out to the libertarian wing of the party. He has also engaged in outreach efforts aimed at minority voters – he followed up a speech last week at Washington, D.C.'s Howard University with a visit to another historically-black college in Kentucky.
Paul said a perception exists that Republicans don't like people of color.
"It's not true, but that's the perception we have to overcome," he said, adding that Republican candidates should at least "show up and ask for their vote."
Weighing in on immigration reform, Paul suggested that a bipartisan bill unveiled this week by the so-called Gang of 8 wouldn't be able to pass the Republican-controlled House in its current form – even if it were to garner the likely 60 votes needed to pass. He plans to offer a "trust but verify" amendment that would require Congress to vote on whether the border is secure on an annual basis.
"In general, I am for immigration reform," Paul told reporters, noting he has had not had a chance to read the Gang of 8's bill, the final text of which was filed in the early hours of Wednesday morning. He said he would oppose any "new" pathway to citizenship, arguing that there should only be one line, whether a prospective immigrant is waiting in Mexico City or in the U.S.
On gun control, the Tea Party-backed Paul expressed doubt that any of the proposals being considered by the Senate this week would have prevented the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
For example, he argued, if murderers like Adam Lanza are not afraid of death – in Lanza's case, the troubled 20-year-old shooter killed himself – they are unlikely to be afraid of additional gun laws. Paul also cited the fact that the government prosecuted just a sliver of the some 15,000 people who attempted to purchase a gun but failed a background check.
Nevertheless, he said it's important that Republicans show empathy for the victims of gun violence.
"I do care about those kids," he said, slamming President Obama and gun-control advocates for using the victims as "props" to support new restrictions.
Separately, Paul warned against escalating U.S. military involvement overseas in hotspots like Mali, Syria and Libya. He criticized the Senate for refusing to support his push to revoke the authorization of the war in Iraq, bemoaning the fact he "couldn't get them to stop a war that's already done."
The potential White House contender admitted he doesn't have a "great answer" when it comes to the prison in Guatanamo Bay, Cuba. He stressed there is an important distinction between detaining American citizens without due process and detaining those who are captured on a battlefield overseas.

As we move toward spring, speculation on the drought – and when and if relief will come – is at the forefront of discussion.
Despite recent winter storms, including one that slammed 14 states with more than six inches of snow in the last week, the drought still is stubbornly clinging to about 53 percent of the U.S., according to Discover Magazine's ImaGeo blog.
In the Midwest, much of the snow that has fallen in the past three months still is stuck above ground because the soil still is frozen and therefore hasn't been able to provide much needed moisture. However, when the snow does start to melt, it should help low water levels in ponds and other bodies of water recover, the March 5 U.S. Drought Monitor notes.
The drought unfortunately increased in Texas, as February was drier than January. However, in the Oklahoma panhandle, precipitation has stayed above normal for the past couple months, reducing drought conditions slightly, according to the monitor.
In February, weather officials reported parts of the Midwest and Southern Plains have benefited from above-normal precipitation, while states such as Missouri were still far from normal levels, according to Farm World.
The reality is stark – as of Feb. 27, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) had designated 751 counties as primary drought counties and another 268 as contiguous counties.
Still, despite the drought, USDA economists have predicted a record corn harvest of 14 billion bushels, almost 40 percent more than last year. The predication hangs on the assumption of good weather, according to NPR's The Salt.

Published at Sunday, April 21st, 2019 - 12:54:17 PM. Worksheet. By Fanetta Raymond.
In many preschools, child care centers, and kindergartens, young children spend their time on worksheet paper and pencil tasks. Teachers who use worksheets believe they are demonstrating children's learning progress to parents. Unfortunately for Jamaica and the other children in her class, worksheet activities are not developmentally appropriate and can cause many problems. Worksheets typically have a "right answer." Jamaica is expected to circle the rhyming words or match the pictures of things that start with the letter "G." She may learn quickly that putting down a wrong answer is emotionally costly. Worksheet activities may make her feel ignorant and incompetent, so that she learns to stop taking risks by guessing.
With that in mind, lets talk about why worksheets should not be in the early childhood setting. 9 Reasons Why Worksheets Are Not Appropriate for Young Children. Worksheets Do Not Teach. A worksheet does not teach, no matter how hard you believe they do, they just don't. Children, young children especially, need time to explore concepts and manipulate materials in order to learn. A cut and paste worksheet on the life cycle of a butterfly is really just giving them cutting practice, not teaching them about the life cycle. But the simple manipulation of life cycle models or watching the life cycle happen in front of them is much more meaningful and appealing. Hands on learning benefits all learning styles, even those kids who love to write. Worksheets Do Not Challenge Kids, Really all worksheets do is test rote memory, a way for children to just spit back information to you. In the end, do we want a child to memorize concepts, or do we want them to understand them and apply them to different situations? I bet it's the latter. By using a hands on approach to learning, we give kids the opportunity to test the concepts in different situations, so they can understand how this concept can be applied to different areas of their life. Hands on learning gives children the opportunity to use and refine their problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

I have you now
I am moving along at a decent rate building models, but I am abysmal at keeping up with posting about them. I have found it far easier to regularly post on Instagram among the great modelling community there than keep up with this blog. Sometimes, however, the nature of Instagram prevents longer form thoughts, so I keep coming back here to share and write. I think there is some part of me that never got tired of writing class, and this is a great outlet for that urge.One of the kits I finished in the past few months is the Bandai version of Darth Vader's TIE Fighter. I originally had the FineMolds version on my shelf, but after working with so many great Bandai kits I sold my FineMolds kit on ebay and grabbed the Bandai version. As expected, this is a great kit with one glaring exception. More on that later…Painting TIE fighters is not a difficult task, so I used Vallejo Light Grey as a base coat and neutral grey for the cockpit frame and highlights on the top hatch. The wings came molded in a standard flat black, but I painted them to remove some of the plastic-y toy look. Here was my main issue with the kit, however. Both wings came molded as all one part, solar panels and frame all together. The colors were correct, except for a little black strip on the frame where the black panels connected to the sprue. I wish I had thought to take a picture at the time for reference, but unfortunately I was just too frustrated to think about it. On previous TIE fighter kits I have built, the frame and solar panels always came separately to make painting easy. This kit, however, was a masking nightmare just to cover all of the bumps and greeblies to prevent any paint bleeding. I survived and I still like the end result, but it could have been a lot easier. The kit came with decals to cover the little black strips on the frames, which would also have been a nightmare to use.With that complaint out of the way, everything else went very smoothly. I did not want to over weather the TIE based on research from how it looks in the movie, so I just used a couple layers of dark wash to make the panel lines and details pop a little more.It is also fun to paint tiny little Darth Vaders, and my four-year-old son especially got a kick out of playing with dad's miniature Vader.Finally, I have started trying out a brief video review when I finish a model kit and sharing to a Youtube channel with the same name as this blog, Life to Scale. The quality and lighting of this video is pretty terrible, but I received a mini photo studio over the holidays and hope to start upping the quality a little more. Forgive the clear first-timer quality of this video, but I figured I would share it anyway.
Fast and Nimble
The second project I finished this summer was the 1/72 A-Wing from Bandai Models. As with many of the Bandai model kits this was fun and easy to build, with plenty of time to paint, weather, and customize as desired. If not for the ease of build I probably would not have finished it this summer.
The kit comes molded in the off-white and reddish colors you associate with A-Wings. I am not a stickler for exact reproductions of studio models, so I was really pleased with the mold colors. I knew some various clear coats and weathering could take away the plastic-y look so I did not mess with the molded colors. If you wanted to go a little more hardcore, it would not be hard. There are lots of straight lines which would make masking fairly easy.
For the weathering, I used an oil paint wash as I have become accustomed to doing on spaceships lately. This method helped give the whole ship a dirty look as well as nicely fill in the panel lines. The oil wash also nicely grimes up all the small engine details on the back. I then topped off the wash with some rust and soot pastels in key spots.
For the base (the coolest base Bandai has produced so far!), I just used Tamiya panel line accent wash to highlight all the recessed parts. I would love to see more bases like this in the future!
Overall, I really enjoyed making this kit, and it was a great distraction while I work on a majorly difficult build of the Swedish Warship Vasa. If you are into LED lighting (something I have limited practice with, limited funds for, and limited time to do effectively), I think the A-Wing would be really easy and fun to light. The rear engine parts are clear allowing for just such a task.
One thing that surprised me about the A-Wing was how big it is next to the X-Wing. I always thought of A-Wings as much smaller for the purposes of speed and maneuverability, but next to my X-Wing in the same scale, it looks bigger than I expected. Granted, the X-Wing is still the bigger ship. I will be excited to see what the new A-Wings look like in December when The Last Jedi hits theaters.
A Bit of Backdraft
If you have ever played as the First Order in Fantasy Flight Games X-Wing Miniatures tabletop game, you are probably familiar with the pilot named "Backdraft." On a couple occasions, Backdraft has been the bane of my pilots' existence with his rear turret. I regularly had him on my mind as I was building the Special Forces First Order TIE from Bandai.
This is a great kit, in line with the standard First Order TIE Fighter. The main differences were the bigger cockpit for two pilots, the red armor plating, and the rear turret. I really like the design choice of the splash of red on the Special Forces TIE.
I do not really have much to say about the process of building this kit because it was straightforward and problem-free. This time around, I painted the wing parts separately to avoid hours of annoying masking. A lesson learned from the previous First Order TIE I built. For weathering, I did a little bit of panel line washing as well as some light color pastels to highlight some of the corners, edges, and details.
I have been surprisingly prolific recently, probably because there are no papers to grade or lessons to plan for the next couple months. Thus, there will be more regular posts coming out over the summer. As always, I keep my Instagram account up to date on what I am currently working on, so check it out and follow @lifetoscale.
Customizable Clones
I keep coming back to these Bandai figure kits because they are just awesome. They are quick and make a great side project during a more prolonged or difficult model project.
One of the fun things about the Clone Trooper kit was that there were so many options for how to paint and weather this guy. Stormtroopers are fairly uniform, but thanks to the Clone Wars TV series and even some brief glimpses in the prequels, clone troopers had a lot of different markings, not to mention they weathered a lot more and their armor showed it.
When I first started assembling the clone trooper I was undecided about what sort of paint scheme I wanted to use, if any at all. Over the course of the build, I settled on the 212th Battalion color scheme because I have always loved Obi-Wan Kenobi and these were his troops on Utapau. I did a little googling to find a quality picture of the paint scheme and then jumped right in.
Two regrets about the way I went about painting this kit, which will influence future projects. First, I had already assembled the trooper so I had to do some difficult masking in hard to access places, which could have been eased by masking before I assembled. Second, because I did not want to mask the entire trooper, I hand painted the spots that needed markings. Both of these regrets left me wishing I had masked and airbrushed all the markings before assembling the parts. Lesson learned for next time.
Because I painted directly on the plastic, I was able to easily do some chipping with a toothpick and xacto knife. These gave a nice worn effect to the battalion markings. Then, to top the painting off, I did some panel line washing in a few spots and added some weathering pastels also. I finished the kit with a semi-gloss lacquer because the clone troopers were never quite as shiny as the stormtroopers.
Overall, I am pretty proud of my first real customized paint job, notwithstanding the usual weathering effects. I really like the result, and if I had endless supplies of money (haha!) I would probably try to customize several different clone varieties. Lessons learned and a good-looking figure make a great success. As a bonus, you can switch out the heads to be either a Phase 1 or Phase 2 trooper. As you can see from the photos, I preferred the Phase 2.
This is a great kit that will look even better when displayed next to my eventual Battle Droid and STAP kit.
Phantastic Phasma
History may remember Captain Phasma as the cool-looking trooper who was a bit of a dud in her on-screen role (I'm still waiting for Episode 8 to change that), but hey, she is pretty darn good looking. This figure kit from Bandai is a good reminder of how great she looks.
The figure comes molded in bright, shiny chrome, which as you might guess is a fingerprint magnet. I kept having to wipe off my grimy fingerprints after working on the kit, but I did not see any other figures on the market that quite matched the chrome look of the Bandai kit. Just a few thoughts on the build and paint process, and I will let the pictures speak for themselves:
- No problems with assembly. The parts fit just like all of the Bandai figure kits. The cape options were the only main downside. The box has either a hard plastic cape in two parts or a see-through fabric-y cape. I ultimately chose the fabric because I really did not like the rigidity of the plastic cape nor the two parts. I think there are other options out there for nicer fabric capes, but I don't have the budget to buy another one when there are already two options in the box.
- I decided to take a bit of the chrome bite away by giving the whole kit a gloss varnish. This helped facilitate a little bit of wash weathering but still maintained a lot of the cool chrome look.
- Speaking of weathering, I did only a little. I did some panel line washing throughout the kit and gave her a few smudges here and there. I gave her blaster the most wash treatment.
I really love this figure kit from Bandai. Cape issues aside, Phasma looks awesome and everything looks well-proportioned, scaled, and colored compared to some of the other options out there in the same scale. This Captain looks great up on my shelf next to her buddies Kylo Ren and the First Order Stormtrooper. I cannot wait to see how they might utilize her in the next movies, because when a character looks this awesome, she needs an awesome role.
Hello, FineMolds, My Old Friend…
…and hello, blogging, my old friend. It seems I am in the "complete a model every 3-4 months" phase of my life right now. The great thing about hobbies is how relaxing and rewarding they are, but with young children in your life, hobbies become a commodity. Still, a glorious, glorious commodity I relish whenever I have the chance.
If you follow my Instagram account, @lifetoscale, you will have seen a couple WIP pictures of the above Naboo Starfighter. Finally, the finished product gets its 15 minutes of fame. This kit has been sitting on my shelf for a couple years, but it has taken a back seat to many of the newer Bandai kits. But, Bandai had to take a break for a bit and give way to my 0ld favorite, the now discontinued line of FineMolds Star Wars models. The Naboo Starfighter is easily the most iconic ship of the Star Wars prequels, elegant in its simplicity and curved lines. Here are a few of my thoughts about the kit, in no particular order:
- This is a tiny ship. Next to my other ships in the 1/72 scale, it is quite a bit smaller and looks much more cramped for the pilot.
- Very simple assembly with few parts. Most of the seams were hidden, as FineMolds was pretty good at, but I needed to do a little filling on the front engines.
- There were two pilot/droid options-Anakin and R2 or a Naboo pilot/generic R-series droid. I went with the Naboo pilot because the normal guy never gets much love.
- I struggled with how much I wanted to weather this ship. In the movie, the ships looked very shiny and well-kept, but I can't leave a Star Wars ship with no scratches or dings. I suppose that was one of the big critiques of the prequels. As a result, I used a little Tamiya panel line wash and added a few smudges here and there but tried to avoid getting too excessive.
- Some of the waterslide decals were tiny! It took some deft fingers to get those in place.
- I finished the kit with a couple coats of gloss varnish to maintain the shiny look seen in the movie.
- I really liked the base for this kit. It is not the standard landing gear or in-flight display; rather, it accentuates some of the cool factor of how this fighter was docked in the movie.
If you can find one of these lurking around ebay, pick it up! It is a fast build (assuming you don't have two small children and too many hobbies) and looks great next to the plethora of Star Wars ships in this scale. I imagine there are a lot of ways you could kit-bash or light the engines on this kit, but that is not for me right now. Maybe when the kids are in college…
Gold Squadron Reporting
I have been sitting on this finished Y-Wing for a while and have not had time to post. Baseball playoffs, grading, and general exhaustion after a long day of teaching have kept me from sitting down to write. Now, I finally have a few spare minutes to recap the Y-Wing build.
This is a great kit, as you would expect from FineMolds. I love that most of the greeblies are separate parts and not molded directly to the base. This provides a more detailed look to the finished build.
Most of my final thoughts center on my first time using an oil paint gunk wash. In my last post I mentioned that I wanted to try the gunk wash out, and overall I love the final look. I would not, however, suggest the Y-Wing as a great first kit to try this type of wash on. It took me hours with cotton swabs to wipe off the excess oil paint from all of the cracks and crevices. Even with all that work, the final result ended up a little darker than I intended. Despite a moderately difficult first experience, I am undoubtedly a convert to this type of wash. The details pop more than any other wash I have used.
I love trying new things out and learning more about the hobby to improve my final builds, and the gunk wash was another great tool to add to my repertoire. I was recently looking at my model display case and imagining what some of my early models would look like, if I knew then what I know now. Definitely one of my favorite parts of the hobby.
I would be curious to hear how this kit compares to the Bandai Y-Wing. I did not get a chance to pick that one up, and now it will be much harder (and more expensive) to find. Maybe it would make a good option to round out Gold Squadron. If not, this build looks great next to my FineMolds X-Wing, and I look forward to many more opportunities to try new things and build better models.

Scouting Report: Lance Berkman
Third in a series of weekly scouting reports provided to SI.com by the network of former scouts, players, coaches and executives at the Baseline Group. To read the first report, on Max Scherzer of the Diamondbacks, click here. To read the second, on Greg Maddux of the Padres, click here.
Lance Berkman is a durable, switch-hitting first baseman who can also play the outfield. He rates as a premium level player. He is a quiet, unassuming type and leads by example. He always plays the game hard.
Berkman has all the tools, and this year he's putting them all to good use. Here's how Berkman ranks in some important statistical categories, through May 19:
• 2nd in batting average (.389)
• 3rd in on-base percentage (.467)
• 1st in slugging percentage (.784)
• 1st in OPS (1.251)
• 1st in runs (48)
• 1st in home runs (16)
• 1st in RBI (44)
And he's even stolen eight bases - good for 19th in the majors.
Defensively, his footwork is average, but his reaction time and instincts have improved. Historically he hasn't talked much on defense, but he's screaming as loud as any player in baseball this year.
Berkman's production and unselfish approach has had a positive impact throughout Houston's lineup. Throughout his career he's been more than willing to talk a walk, giving those behind him more RBI opportunities. He ranks 20th among active walks leaders and figures to ascend to the top five on that list by the time he retires.
Berkman is fourth among active hitters in career OPS+, which is the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage adjusted for the player's park and era. Berkman's career OPS+ is 149, which trails only Albert Pujols (168), Frank Thomas (157) and Manny Ramirez (154) and it bests Alex Rodriguez (147), Vladimir Guerrero (147) and Ken Griffey (139) among others.
Berkman is a smart hitter whose approach at the plate allows him to make adjustments from pitch to pitch. He is a veteran who can set up younger pitchers, especially those called up before they are properly developed.
As a right-handed hitter, Berkman pulls the ball more often. He sets up to pull the ball because he's not as efficient as hitting the ball to the opposite field. He can get away with this because he is left-hand dominant and at the plate he hooks the ball with his bottom hand. This is also the reason he has more low ball power from the right side of the plate. There is a significant difference between a bottom hand hook and a top hand hook. From the right side of the plate the start of his swing is longer than the left side and, as a result, he doesn't handle the ball up in the zone as well. It's one of his few weaknesses this year.
As a left-hander he is a better all around hitter and is doing tremendous damage for two reasons:
1. Prior to the pitcher delivering the pitch, he's made a subtle move back before he makes his stride. This move allows Berkman to see the ball for a longer period of time and make better decisions on which pitches to swing at.
2. Berkman has been able to keep the start of his swing consistent. The good start of his swing enables him to produce a shorter swing, and a shorter swing allows him to get to more pitches with the barrel of the bat. Berkman is a better high ball hitter from the left side and is more capable of hitting for power to all fields. It's the side of his natural power.
Berkman likes the ball out over the plate, preferably elevated. He does a great job letting pitches get deep into the hitting zone. He drives most fastballs to the opposite field or the middle of the field, and he'll pull off-speed pitches. He shows the ability to foul off a pitcher's best pitches and hit their mistakes very hard.
• Switch-hitter who can play 1B or OF
• Dependable and durable
• Leadership skills
• Game power to all fields as a left-handed hitter
• Very good pull power as a right-handed hitter
• Ability to maintain composure and poise in late game situations
• Less success against fastballs above the belt
• Tends to pull too much as a right-handed hitter
• Average range as an infielder
Berkman can have difficulties versus pitchers who can locate hard sliders. The hole in his swing is down and inside - much like Manny Ramirez.
At 1B, Berkman is a slightly above average defender with soft hands and an average, accurate arm. He is a smart player who anticipates plays well. He makes good decisions and knows when he can make aggressive throws to get lead runners. He has slightly above average range because of a quick first step and willingness to dive to make a play. He doesn't have very quick feet if he has to move more than a couple of steps to his left or right, but he takes deep angles to groundballs to make up for it. He handles low throws well and knows the situations where he has to knock down a bad throw.
If has to play the outfield, he is an average defender. He is best suited for the corner outfield spots because he lacks anything more than average range. His effort level helps make up for his shortcomings. He has an average arm that is accurate, and he hits his cut-off men. He doesn't always look smooth when making plays but gets the job done consistently.

Madonna's MDNA Tour Costumes: The Cone Bra Returns
Frank Micelotta/PictureGroup (3)
Madonna kicked off her MDNA world tour in Tel Aviv last night! Her costumes—always a sight to see—are every bit the Madonna we always loved, complete with a millennium version of her famous'80s cone bra. "We played with the ideas of a suit and a corset, but now the corset is like a cage," designer Jean Paul Gaultier told WWD of the look, which he created both then and now. Of course, the cage-corset wasn't the only piece of couture costuming—Alexander Wang, Jeremy Scott, Prada, and Miu Miu also designed custom pieces for the pop icon. See more of Madonna's new tour looks in the gallery.

Competing in the global LNG market
Evolving Canada's opportunity into reality
A generational opportunity. Multi-billions of dollars of possible capital and operating expenditures. Taxes and other levies that will fund community development, education, training and social programs. Jobs, prosperity and the potential to thrust the BC natural gas industry onto the world stage. Those are just some of the benefits credited to the BC liquefied natural gas (LNG) opportunity. Sounds attractive — but there are multiple challenges, too. Environmental considerations, project infrastructure complexities, ensuring that First Nations are included, and creating a competitive fiscal and tax regime are not easily addressed. Moreover, the competition is not next door — it's global — and BC isn't the only jurisdiction wanting its share.
The global LNG industry is celebrating its 50th birthday this year with growing demand and an ever‑increasing amount of new capacity proposed around the world — as much as 350 million (metric) tonnes per year (mtpa) — which, if all were built, would more than double current capacity by 2025.
Fifteen Canadian LNG export projects have been proposed and nine have already received export permits with the expectation that many more will be approved (with a view that ultimately the market and not the National Energy Board will determine which projects are viable). Proposed projects represent more than the equivalent of Canada's current daily natural gas production of approximately 14 bcf/d.
Investment in Canada's LNG industry will depend on whether LNG projects are competitive globally. Plentiful natural gas reserves alone will not support development. Understanding where Canada stands requires zeroing in on the factors that determine competitiveness. These include considerations such as:
Understanding the state of global competition and how other projects will impact the supply, demand and pricing balances;
Creating a framework where the various First Nations communities will support projects;
Addressing complex capital allocation decisions by global players, many of whom have multiple opportunities and are focused today on ensuring adequate project returns;
Building a fiscal policy that is fair to multiple different constituents and ensuring that such fiscal policy will remain consistent over the life of the projects;
Developing world-class competencies around people, processes and costs.
Unanswered questions revolve around many of these factors. Evolving the Canadian LNG opportunity from promise to reality requires addressing them head on.

Kozhikode pronounced also known as Calicut
SPS Travels India
, is a city in the southern Indian state of Kerala. It is the third largest city in Kerala and the headquarters of Kozhikode district. During Classical antiquity and the Middle Ages, Calicut was dubbed the "City of Spices" for its role as the major trading point of eastern spices. Kozhikode was once the capital of an independent kingdom of the same name and later of the erstwhile Malabar District.
Kozhikode has a population of 436,556 as per 2001 census, with an extended metropolitan population of about 0.9 million, making it the third largest urban agglomeration and the third largest city in Kerala. According to data compiled by economics research firm Indicus Analytics on residences, earnings and investments, Kozhikode ranked as the second best city in India to reside in. Indicus considered six parameters – health, education, environment, safety, public facilities and entertainment. Kozhikode was ranked eleventh among Tier-II Indian cities in job creation by a study conducted by ASSOCHAM in 2007. Kozhikode was declared the first litter- free city in India in 2004. A 'Hunger-Free Kozhikode' project was initiated in January 2009 following which Kozhikode was declared the country's first hunger-free city. Kozhikode is expected to come under the radar of the IT industry with the development of Cyberpark by the Kerala government. This will be the third IT 'Hub' in the state developed on the lines of Thiruvananthapuram Technopark and Kochi InfoPark, Kochi and is expected to take off by mid 2011.
Places of interest is
Kozhikode Beach
A view of Calicut beach from the southern end
In Calicut
SPS Travels India
beach is the most popular retreat for locals. In spite of beautification works and lax coastal management, it remains unexploited and visually pleasing. This shore has been a witness to many historic events, including pitched naval battles and the arrival of ships from distant lands. Uddanda, the Sanskrit poet in Zamorin's court, said "The ocean, the father of the goddess of riches [Indira is a synonym of Lakshmi] seeing that his daughter has settled down in Kukkatakroda [Sanskrit for Kozhikode], is embracing the place, presenting it with shipful of jewels". Several national leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Indira Gandhi and Krishna Menon have addressed people here. The 'Beach Road' was renamed Gandhi Road from Evan's Road after Mahatma Gandhi's visit in January 1934. Two dilapidated piers can be seen extending into the sea. The 'Iron Screw-pile' pier to the north was built in 1871, 400 ft long (120 m) with a 'T' end. Numerous cranes on these piers once loaded spices and other goods destined to foreign ports like Aden, Genoa, Oslo, London, Bremen, Hamburg, New York etc. Near the northern pier is a park maintained by the Lions club, a children's park, the lighthouse with a seafarer's memorial and a marine aquarium. Further north to the Lions' Park is a dirty fishing area where once was located a French Loge with factories and French settlements. Near the south pier is a place called 'Horse's Jumping Point' where horses brought from Gujarat and Arabia were made to jump into the water, swim and would gallop along the shore and be displayed for sale. The beach offers a pleasant view at times of fishermen entering the sea with their tiny boats, fighting the waves and returning with their catch.
Mananchira and nearby institutions

Mananchira in calicut
SPS Travels India
is a large tank in the heart of the city. Mananchira or Mana Vikraman Tank (Manan or Mana Vikraman being the Coronation name of the Zamorins) seems to have been the drinking water source for the entire Palace complex (previously located at the Kottaparambu Women and Children Hospital). Surrounding the Mananchira are several important institutions. The Town Hall was constructed in 1891 by the salt merchants (previously called Salt Abkari Town Hall) and has been an important stage for several popular agitations and ceremonies during the freedom movement and thereafter. The Pattalapalli or 'Military Mosque' was originally built for the Mysore soldiers who had surrounded the Palace during the 'Mysore invasion'. The Comtrust Textile Factory (previously the Commonwealth Weaving Factory) was established in 1884 by the Basel Mission from Germany. To the western side of Mananchira is located the C.S.I. Church, Basel Mission Complex and the BEM (Basel Evangelical Mission) Girls' School (1848). Once the main courtyard of the Zamorin Ruler's palace, the Mananchira ground along with the older Ansari Park (named after the freedom fighter Ansari) has been developed into a well- maintained park called 'Mananchira Square'. It has a green carpet lawn fenced with laterite- sculpted walls. The entire complex is circled by 250 lamp posts designed in 'colonial' style. The 'Square' has an artificial stream, a musical fountain, an open-air theatre and a music stage.
SM Street
S.M. Street in calicut
SPS Travels India
is a buzzing shopping and commercial lane immediately north of Mananchira Square. The name Sweetmeat is thought to have been derived from a kind of sweet (locally called 'Halwa') which was called 'Sweetmeat' by European traders. S.M. street, like the lanes of Veliyangadi, is about 600 years old and was most likely occupied by the residences and shops of sweet manufacturers from Gujarath. A now-abandoned Parsi cemetery called Anjuman, most likely built in the 17th century, is located here and finds mention in William Logan's Malabar.
Sarovaram Park
Sarovaram in calicut is an eco-friendly development adjacent to Canoly Canal. The project has been developed with an eco-friendly theme and the construction has been done in traditional Kerala style. It is one of the more popular spots in the city to spend an evening.
Tali Siva Temple
The entrance to the Tali Siva temple at Calicut
The Tali Siva temple in Calicut was one of the two Brahmanical royal temples patronized by the Zamorin (the other being the Valayanaattu Kavu) and to this day remains one of the most important spiritual and cultural centres in Kozhikode. The temple's date of origin is uncertain but was most likely built during the foundation of the city itself in the 12th century or before. The temple is surrounded by gigantic walls of 'elephant belly' (aana palla) type with broad base and narrower neck at the top. One of the two tanks attached to the temple can be seen to the right. The temple hosts the annual 'competition for scholars' called Revathi Pattathanam attended by eminent scholars and philophers of Bharatiya Mimamsa, Prabhakara Mimamsa, Vedanta Mimamsa and Vyakarana. The temple was also the site for the famous anti-caste agitation of 1911 organized by Krishna Vakil (editor of Mitavadi) and advocate Manjeri Rama Ayyar for the rights of 'low-caste' people to use the road between the tank and the temple.
Panniyankara Bhagavati Temple
The Bhagavaty temple on a hillock on the southern side of Kallayi river is one of the two pre-Calicut temples known to historians, built at least two centuries before the foundation of the city. This area must have come under the territory of Porlathiri during the reign of Ceraman Perumal. It is a typical Chera period structure with a square garbhagriha and mandapa and probably had a currambalam and prakara (outer walls) that are no more. Two granite slabs dating to the 10-11th century A.D. were recovered recently carrying three inscriptions in Vattezhuthu, an old Malayalam language. One is a record of a land grant of the Chera king Ravi Kota, who was coronated in 1021 A.D.Mentioned in the inscription are functionaries like Adhikarar (officials), Alkoyil (king's representative) and Poduval (temple secretary) and avirodham (a system of unanimous resolution), kalam (an old measure), etc. The second inscription dating back to 883-913 A.D. records a decision by the Taliyar and Tali Adhikarikal of 'Panriyankarai' to conduct seven Tiruvakkiram (sacred feast) at the shrine of Patari (female deity). The third inscription records a unanimous decision to transfer some land belonging to the daughter of the Chief Queen of Cheraman Perumal for the conduct of Tiru amritu (sacred feast).
Thiruvannur Siva Temple
This ancient and beautiful Siva temple has an apsidal garbhagriha, decorated with typical Chola pillars and pilasters, panjaras and vyalimukhas. The central shrine has escaped any repair or change and is relatively well preserved. An inscription unearthed records a land grant given to Tirumannur Patarakar in the eighth regnal year of Raja Raja Chera. The record has been dated to 1044 A.D. The deity appears to have been a Jain Tirthankara (since the rules of Thirukkunavaye, the premier Jain shrine of Kerala in Kodungalloor, are cited in the punitive clauses). The Jain temple must have been converted into a Siva temples sometime in the 11th century before the arrival of the Zamorins.The apsidal shrine and other features are attributable to this period.
Kappad Beach
Kappad Beach
Vasco da Gama landed here at Kappad in 1498
In calicut, Kappad (Kappakkadavu) Beach is located 16 km to the north of Kozhikode along the Kannur road at Tiruvangoor. Apart from the fact that it is a beautiful rocky beach with high potential for tourism, it is the site where Vasco Da Gama landed on 27 May 1498 with three vessels and 170 men. A monument erected here commemorates this 'historic landing'. However, many authors have questioned the emphasis given to the Portuguese sailor who was one amongst hundreds of traders who reached the shores of Calicut and was guided by a Portuguese-speaking Arab.An ancient temple on a hillock, facing the sea, is an added attraction.
An Uru under construction
In Calicut, Beypore is a small port town situated 10 km south of Calicut at the mouth of Chaliyar river. Beypore is famous for its ancient shipbuilding industry that constructed the Uru, trading vessels more popular during the medieval periods and still used by the Arabs and others for commerce and tours. The place was formerly known as Vaypura and Vadaparappanad. Tippu Sultan named the town "Sultan Pattanam". It is one of the important ports of Kerala and has been an major trading centre for centuries. The dilapidated Kovilakam (palace) of the Parappanad Rajas and a small Basheer Museum (former house of the writer Vaikom Muhammad Basheer) can be found here. Towards the sea shore is a big complex that includes a port, a boat yard, a fish landing platform, breakwater project, marine ware shop, ship- breaking unit, etc. There are two man-made extensions to the sea to facilitate easy access for fishing boats. The 2 km breakwater made of stone is another attraction. The Beypore lighthouse is located to the south of the Chaliyar.

Nutritional Guidelines and the Food Guide Pyramid
The Food Guide Pyramid contains the building blocks for a healthy diet. If you follow the recommended servings listed for each food group in the pyramid each day and eat lowfat, low-sugar, and low-sodium choices within each group, you're sure to get enough protein, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber without getting excessive amounts of calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, added sugars, or alcohol.
Put the Dietary Guidelines into practice with the Food Guide Pyramid.
The USDA folks figured that the pyramid illustrated proportion as well as balance, variety, and moderation — the key features of a healthy diet. In focus group tests, the pyramid was easiest for most people to understand. However, not everyone agrees that the shape works.
Though several countries have adopted the pyramid, China and Korea use a pagoda, Canada uses a rainbow, Great Britain and Mexico use a plate, and Australia, Sweden, and most of Europe use a pie chart. Sure, they may look different, but all recommend that consumers eat plenty of grains, vegetables, and fruits, and moderate amounts of meat and dairy.
Notice that a range of servings is given for each block, or food group, of the pyramid. The serving sizes are designed to help people maintain their weights depending on how active they are. The lower number is intended to provide adequate nutrition for sedentary women, and the upper limit is for active teenage boys. Individuals who want to lose weight need to stick to the lower number of servings and sometimes go lower still.
Hate the idea of counting calories? If you use the lower range of servings suggested in the pyramid, you'd be eating about 1,600 calories; the large number of servings totals 2,800 calories.
Fats and added sugars are concentrated in foods located at the tip of the pyramid. But they're also in foods found in the other food groups. When you choose foods for a healthy weight-loss diet, take the amount of fat and added sugars in those foods into consideration.
Choose lowfat foods from each of the food groups.
Go easy on fats and sugars added to foods in cooking and at the table.
Choose fewer foods that are high in sugars — candy, soft drinks, and sweet desserts.
Using the pyramid can help you identify where the bulk of your calories are coming from. Unfortunately, many people create a top-heavy pyramid by eating too much fat and sugar and not enough grains, fruits, and vegetables, as shown in the Actual Consumption Pyramid.

Leopard Shark
The Leopard Shark is an extremely shy animal and a complete non threat to humans. They seem to have a reputation at the beach likely because of the more aggressive and unrelated Tiger Shark. Leopards are bottom feeders and often swim along the sand just outside the surf line having to dodge bathers feet all day during the summer. A chance to see these sharks from a kayak or while snorkeling should not be missed.

I know what you are thinking, and that´s not what I mean…
Let´s take this story back a few years. I was working at the Functional Medicine Center, housed in an 19th century building in Oslo. Rustic and an emblem of Norwegian history, here, I often found myself reflecting on new versus old practices of medicine. It was a regular day at work, and as I enjoyed my first coffee of the morning, the first patients of the day walked into the reception.
As you may know, being a family medicine practitioner, one is confronted with a wide range of scenarios on a daily basis. Some challenges can be tackled easily, such as a minor infection, but some require more work, such as the one I was confronted with that morning.
I found myself sitting with female couple in their late 30s – One of the women, let´s call her Else, wanted to get pregnant. I am not a gynecologist, and therefore this enquiry was rather new to me. They had seen gynecologists extensively, and Else had completed several IVF attempts. After trying what they thought was everything, they had all but given up hope, until someone had recommended that they consider a more holistic approach and see me for a consultation.
After making sure that all the essential investigations were undertaken, such as fertility control and general bloodwork, as well as an analysis of their working-sleep-stress conditions and eating patterns, we set out on a route that took two years to complete.
Below is the plan I set for Else:
- Chill out. As many women making a career for themselves, it could be very stressful. Stress and anxiety block the fertility producing hormones. If you think about it from a biological viewpoint, in times of stress, this sends signals to the body that it is not "ready" to have a kid. Being more calm, soothes the stress hormones, leaving a natural surge in the fertility hormones.
- Detoxify. I believe that having too many toxins in the body can stress the body, and make it harder to have a natural production of fertility hormones. With Else, we discovered both a mercury intoxication and a gut flora dysbiosis, causing too many toxins to circulate in the body. These toxins produce free radicals, that promote inflammation. We focused first on balancing the gut flora through diet and supplements such as probiotics and olive leaf extract. Getting rid of too much mercury in the body is rather time consuming and laborious, which includes chelators such as chlorella, DMSA and DMPS. Only after a few years of therapy did these heavy metals leave the body., making the body more in balance, and less riddled with inflammation.
- Boost your fertility hormones by natural supplements. Here are some of the hormones I used to boost Else's fertility:
- GLA (Gamma linolenic acid).
- Zinc
- Vitamin B6 and B9 (Folate)
- Maca
- Ashwaghanda
- Acupuncture. What has acupuncture got to do with fertility, you may ask. Well, there are many good studies that prove that women being given regular acupuncture therapy could boost their fertility.
- Try, and try again. Else had countless IVF attempts, without success. But, she did not give up. Sometimes it is all about giving enough time, and eventually you reap the benefits of sticking to the program.
After two years I got a surprise visit. By this time I had even moved offices and joined Balderkliniken, Oslo´s most prestigious FM clinic and the largest in the world. When I opened my door, I was greeted by a beaming, happy woman, who handed me a beautiful bouquet of flowers. She exclaimed: You changed my life. To which I replied, No, you changed your own life.
These are some of the best moments in one´s practice. To empower people to live healthy and sustinable lives, to provide some perspective into the healing power of natural remedies, and to keep learning.

This is the final release of the JBoss 5.0 series for the Java EE™5 codebase that fully complies with the Java EE 5 conformance testing certification requirements. It brings us to the end of a 3+ year marathon of redesigning the most popular open-source application server over a completely new kernel architecture, the JBoss Microcontainer. It also marks the beginning of a new era of innovation for JBoss as we will be exploring the capabilities and limitations of the new architecture in the releases to come. In our view, JBossAS 5 provides a healthy foundation and the most advanced and fully extensible, cross component model, aspect integration, server runtime environment

Jeremy Hall is the Atheist suing the military over religions harassment. It seems that he is still catching hell for his lawsuit.
Spc. Jeremy Hall filed a formal statement Wednesday with the Army. He says he overheard a conversation between two sergeants in his platoon and one wanted to "bust Hall in the mouth."
Hall says he faces the animosity because he is an atheist and is suing the Department of Defense. He alleges it permits a culture that pushes fundamentalist Christianity.
Of course, Hall could just be asking for it. You know how those sneaky Atheist can be. Let's just frag him get it over with.
It is a very real possibility.

It would be five more years before I would leave the ad agency world and start my own company, but I'd already been living in Dallas a quite a while. I moved here from Seattle in the Summer of 1977 after working my way up to Senior Writer status at several well known Seattle ad agencies. The Delta crash and the continuing parade of historic anniversaries is making me feel really old. Woodstock and the moon landings remind me of my college years. The assassination of John Kennedy in Dealey Plaza and the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show remind me of high school. Sputnik, bomb shelters, and cars with huge tail fins remind me of grade school. It's been a long, long journey and it's easy to forget that most of it took place before the Internet even existed. I thought we'd be on Mars by now, but the Internet caught me by surprise. Who would have thought that I'd end up spending my evenings talking to the world this way.
Sleeping in on weekends is a thing of the past. We don't need an alarm clock. The dogs know that they get an early morning walk now and they wake up up well before the sun comes up. Even in August it's reasonably nice outside at 6 AM. Dot seemed strong and steady this morning and hasn't pooped in her bed for several days. It's always nice to get the day off to a good start. Our new routine involves taking Dash to a nearby dog park right after we return from Dot's morning exercise walk. Dot is tired after her walk and just sleeps while we are gone. Again, doing all this before breakfast is mainly to beat the heat that comes later in the day. We didn't stay long at the dog park today. Vandals had broken the latch on the airlock style gates where you can safely get your dog in and out of the park without all the other dogs escaping. Dash never misses an open gate, so he noticed the broken latch right away. It was so much trouble keeping him from making a quick exit though the easily opened door that we just packed up early and went home. It's a shame that this newly refurbished park has only been open a few months and vandals are already doing their best to ruin it. That's Dallas for you though. I often wish we lived in Wyoming.
There was an extra loaf of bread in the refrigerator, so I made French Toast for breakfast. French Toast with real maple syrup and a side of sausage patties are comfort food. I can't eat this way all the time, but it's a nice treat on weekends. To burn off the extra calories, I went to the gym later in the morning. My workouts are more focused now and I think they are doing some good.
When I vacuumed the floors later in the day, I noticed that the rotating brush on the Dyson wasn't working. I took the machine apart and put it back together again after cleaning the really dusty bits. It must have just been a loose connection, because the vacuum worked fine after I reassembled everything. The only problem I have with the Dyson is that it is made of plastic. The whole thing feels flimsy. You should be able to bang a vacuum cleaner into walls and furniture without worrying about it breaking. I can't imagine building a car out of plastic. Why would you make a vacuum cleaner out of plastic with a bunch of fragile snap together components? If the thing was made out of aircraft aluminum, it would be fabulous.
The house is reasonably clean. I've more or less caught up on all my work projects. The dogs are happy and sleeping, and Janet fixed some delicious pork chops for dinner. I think I'm ready to start a new week.
