Y3 Visit to St Peter's Church October 2015
On Tuesday13th October the Year 3 children were invited to look round the church by Luke Maxted, St Peter's Church's children and families' worker. They had questions to investigate both inside the church and in the grounds and had great fun exploring whilst learning about the history of the church. We all found out some fascinating facts - who would have thought that the incense container was made from part of an old toilet?! Thank you to Luke for arranging the visit for us.

YUMA, AZ – 14 Jun, 2017 – Every day media broadcasts stories of political fighting, hate crimes, terrorist attacks, human brutality, and destructive humor. As a nation, there is more debt, drug abuse, obesity, and broken relationships than in any other time in history. Conversely, social scientists and researchers agree that humans are designed for connection with each other. Spiritually. Emotionally. Physically. Neurologically. We are wired for connection… and when those connections break, we break. Those breaks in relationship connection are also known as attachment wounds. There is little in the world that can be more painful than experiencing an attachment wound. Without healing, there can be lifelong consequences including addiction, depression, anxiety, broken relationships, and even suicide.
Finding Peace: Healing from Loss, Neglect, Rejection, Abandonment, Betrayal, and Abuse is the fusion of a fictional storyline about 8 individuals looking for greater and a workbook for the reader to participate along with the characters in the story. Troy L. Love, LCSW developed the Core of Peace model to help his clients have a map of healing from their wounds of loss, rejection, abandonment, and other attachment wounds that nearly every person on the planet has experienced. Readers will learn ways to change negative core messages, increase awareness of the Shadows of Shame, and how to turn anger, fear, and sadness into feelings of peace and love.
This book is for anyone serious about healing these attachment wounds, ready to become honest about changing their life, and willing to be vulnerable.

There are four carotid arteries, with a pair located on each side of the neck. This includes the right- and left-internal carotid arteries, and the right- and left-external carotid arteries. The carotid arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to both the head and brain.
When the carotid arteries become blocked with cholesterol plaques (atherosclerotic plaques), blood flow to the brain is compromised. Also, small pieces of plaque can break off and block small arteries in the brain. This blockage of the blood vessels can cause transient-ischemic attacks and strokes.
While you are deep asleep and pain-free, an incision is made in the neck, over the blocked carotid artery. A tube is inserted above and below the blockage to re-direct the blood flow. Fat and cholesterol build-ups are removed from the carotid artery. The artery is stitched (sutured) closed, the tube is removed, and the incision is closed.
A normal hospital stay is one to three days after surgery. Avoid bending the neck sharply in any direction.
We are physicians, hospitals and communities working together to help you live better.

Archimedes Death Ray: October, 2005.
See video of the experiment (.mov, 7.0 Mb version, 25.3 Mb version, or 69 Mb version) as seen on the TV program the Daily Planet. You may also want to read the FAQ or other publicity about the test. We also did a follow up experiment with the Mythbusters.
Click on image thumbnails to see larger images.
Ancient Greek and Roman historians recorded that during the siege of Syracuse in 212 BC, Archimedes (a notably smart person) constructed a burning glass to set the Roman warships, anchored within bow and arrow range, afire.
The story has been much debated and a number of attempts to recreate it have been made over the ages. While some attempts have apparently been successful, the death ray is oft dismissed as myth.
TV's MythBusters were not able to replicate the feat and "busted" the myth.
Intrigued by the idea and an intuitive belief that it could work, MIT's 2.009ers decided to apply the early product development 'sketch or soft modeling' process to the problem.
Our goal was not to make a decision on the myth—we just wanted to assess if it was at least possible to achieve in a simple manner, and to have some fun in the process. Jumping ahead, you can see the result… but let's start at the beginning.
(btw, the boat is made of 1" thick red oak)
Although many of the images of the death ray depict Archimedes with a parabolic mirror, it seemed like a bunch of individual flat mirrors positioned by 'the troops' would be a fast, more practical implementation of the concept.
If the mirrors were flat, why was this dispersion observed? If the sun was a true point source and the mirrors were perfectly flat, the size of the reflected image on the target would not change with distance. However, the sun does have some width (it occupies roughly 0.5 degrees in the sky) and this results in the dispersion that we observed.
Yes, 100 feet is a bit close for bow and arrow range, but that is
the amount of space we had to work with. Using the new information,
the revised estimate for the mirror area was on the order of 100 square
feet. With our flat mirrors, we would need to use more of them for
targets at a greater distance or, we could cup them (very slightly
concave) to compensate for dispersion resulting from the sun not being
a point source. In that case, the number of mirrors would not need
to be increased for a more distance target.
Aiming techniques were finalized after a few more quick experiments using 20 mirrors, and then the inventory of mirrored tiles (129, 1 foot square mirrors) was purchased at a hardware store.
When a Roman ship conveniently sailed into Killian court at 1 PM on Friday, September 30, 2.009 was prepared for the 'teamwork and coordination' challenge.
In addition to reducing the available power, each mirror made a very diffuse image on the ship, making aiming more difficult, as evidenced by the size of the bright spot.
Who would have thought that Archimedes had a bullhorn (or would be
on the Roman ship)?
Only wisps of smoke were observed.
|Verdict: Inconclusive
Things learned: The idea is very sensitive to even light cloud cover; it was difficult to aim the mirrors; it is hard to get a large, unpracticed group to work together as an efficient team.
What next? The ship, slightly more than 10 feet long, appeared again Tuesday, October 4 on the roof of West Garage (a convenient, but less scenic, location... at this site the setup could be stored if the weather did not cooperate). A team of approximately 10 faculty, staff and graduate students showed up to defend.
The Roman ships are believed to have been painted with colored wax. Ours was stained with 'minwax'. While it was thought that these materials would help with energy absorption and possibly act as accelerants, in the end it seemed that the stain did not matter… ignition occurred evenly over an area involving both raw wood and stained wood. The stain volatiles had boiled off and the region was evenly charred well before open flame was achieved.
The mirrors were roughly positioned (but not aimed) using stands and then covered. This time there was 127 mirrors (in case you are counting, two mirrors from the first test were casualties).
At 11:45 AM, a targeting mirror was positioned to project an 'X" onto the ship, providing an unambiguous spot on which to aim.
The aiming spot was slightly aft of the ship (to its right) since, at this distance and time of day, the 'hot spot' will move from right to left at a rate of approximately 36 feet per hour!
Time to aim fast. Five team members worked quickly to aim each mirror at the targeting X and then cover it. This took 10 minutes, during which the targeting X traversed ~5 feet in the horizontal direction (vertical movement is very small).
Dang, that's hot!
But look! There are pesky clouds again. At least this time the sun gods are a bit more kind. These are cirrus clouds and an open patch of sky is coming (to the right of the sun).
Times goes by… and the cloud still covers the sun. Smoke, but no charring and we are running out of boat. The mirrors are continuously adjusted to refine the focus.
After ~20 minutes with the sun covered by cloud, we run out of boat and move the target. At least the real ships were on the order of 100 feet long!
Serious smoke.
Carbon in the wood is burning, which means the surface is at least 750 degrees F.
|Note the volatiles boiling out of the end of the wood.
It's really, really close!
After letting it burn for a minute, it was time to smother it and then apply water!
The short burn period created a hole through the planks.
Our 2.009 conclusion?
Feasibility estimate confirmed!
Sketch models rock!!

The Nike Air Force 1 UltraForce Mid Women's Shoe features a breathable inner-sleeve, ultralight cushioning, and reflective accents that elevate the classic.
An inner-sleeve made of breathable mesh keeps air flowing. And it helps you get the shoe on and off easily and comfortably.
The Lightest AF1
The durable foam midsole is cored out in key areas for an incredibly lightweight, flexible feel. It doubles as an outsole, dramatically reducing the shoe's overall weight—making it the lightest Air Force 1 yet.
More Details
Air Force 1 Origins
This once hoops shoe was named after Air Force One—the aircraft that carries the U.S. President. In 1982, it was the first basketball shoe to house Nike Air, revolutionizing the game while rapidly gaining traction around the world, from the hardwood, to the blacktop, to the core of hip-hop culture. Today, the Air Force 1 stays true to its roots with soft, springy cushioning, but the Nike Air technology takes a backseat to the shoe's status as an icon.

Skeptical already? So was I. Any pitch I receive touting "Fashion and Earth Day" usually conjures images of burlap bags and hemp dresses.
Not pretty.
Fleece-A-Nista and Convert, on the other hand, are two worthy newcomers to the Bay Area fashion mix that are verifiable finds appropriate for such a green-minded holiday (April 22).
For those city slickers out there squeezing the last of the season from the Tahoe slopes, Fleece-A-Nista has the perfect pieces for your après ski or boarding activities.
Not only does SF designer Jeanne Feldcamp create surprisingly beautiful silhouettes out of a typically technical (read: unsexy) fabric, but also her company employs a "zero-waste production" process by which all scraps are used as stuffing for her original collection of graphic pillows.

Young athletes: Jason Collins may inspire others
NBA player tells Sports Illustrated that he's gay
NBA player Jason Collins' decision to reveal that he's gay has prompted an outpouring of mostly positive reaction from across the country.
Young athletes at the Mid-America West Sports Complex said they're interested to see what it will mean moving forward.
"I think it's very courageous, especially right now. It's a hot topic. I think he's very courageous," said Gina Ninemire.
She said she grew up playing softball, basketball and volleyball and thinks Collins could be a role model for other young gay athletes.
"I think it will definitely have an influence on how the sports are played and how people view locker room situations," she said. "It will help young athletes maybe come out and not be as worried about what other people are going to think."
She said she knows what it's like to be around other players on the field and in the locker room. She said she can understand why this could be tricky subject.
"The only thing I could see where (people) might be unsure is the locker room situation, and it's the same with the military," said baseball player Bradley Drummond. "There's a lot of controversy surrounding this, so this will be something to work out."
He also said he thinks Collins may pave the way for others to follow his lead.
"I think it's a gateway for other athletes to open up," he said. "At some point, it's going to happen."

San Francisco's Entrepreneurship-in-Residence program focuses on civic engagement, location-based services and urban planning.
With the aim to innovate and improve services, San Francisco today announced the names of six civic technology startups that will collaborate with city departments through a four-month Entrepreneurship-in-Residence program.
"San Francisco is home to the world's greatest entrepreneurs, the ones who have 'disrupted' numerous industries, and we are bringing those same disruptive technologies to improve delivery of city services for our residents," said Mayor Ed Lee in a prepared statement released Thursday. "The Entrepreneurship-in-Residence program brings together government and startups to explore ways we can use technology to make government more accountable, efficient and responsive."
The city selected the six startups from 200 applications. Applicants came from 25 cities worldwide and represented innovations in education, healthcare, transportation, public utilities, public safety, infrastructure and the environment.
San Francisco's Chief Innovation Officer Jay Nath said the endeavor, to start March 24 and run until the end of July, will be a testing ground for future iterations of the program and be a source of creativity and inspiration for city departments.
"We think this is going to part of a broader conversation that's going to be happening nationally," he said, "and we hope it'll continue here in San Francisco as well."
The Entrepreneurship-in-Residence program is intended to connect innovative new companies with the leaders of city departments to create solutions that lower costs, boost revenues and enhance efficiencies. Startups chosen for the first round of the program specialize in law enforcement, air quality, urban planning, permit mapping, emergency communications, and navigation and location services.
City departments working with the startups will be public health, police, planning, emergency management, transportation and the San Francisco International Airport.
However, the program is not meant to supplant or bypass the city's current procurement process, Nath said. Rather, the joint effort is designed to spotlight budding companies with fresh solutions for city challenges.
"We think we're sort of on the vanguard here." Nath said. "We see San Francisco as a city that's driving innovation, and by building these bridges with the startup community — harnessing the best and brightest talent to work on government problems — it can create a tremendous amount of value for the public sector.
In the initial sessions, department heads and entrepreneurs will feel out how and what kinds of collaborative efforts can be done.
First, Nath said that city departments will begin by explaining specific challenges faced. Next, entrepreneurs will suggest remedies they can provide. Departments will then give feedback again while startups set themselves to work on the potential solutions. The back and forth between presenting solutions and department feedback will go on until startups have fine-tuned products to the city's needs. At the end of the process, it's up to the departments and the entrepreneurs, Nath said, to decide if they'd like to go through the city procurement processes to implement the solutions.
"If they [startups and departments] want to seek a commercial solution out there in the market space, they need to follow our transparent and competitive procurement practices that we have in place today."
According to the city, these six companies were chosen for the program:
MobilePD will work with the San Francisco Police Department on public safety and civic engagement. MobilePD is a mobile technology startup that enhances social engagement with the community to reduce crime.
Birdi will work with the San Francisco Department of Public Health on air quality and health issues. Birdi is a smart device startup that measures air quality as well as other public health metrics and provides recommendations on how to improve individual and neighborhood air quality.
Indoo.rs will work with the San Francisco International Airport on enhanced navigation and location-based services. Indoo.rs is an Internet of Things startup that provides location-based services, indoor navigation and advanced sensors.
Synthicity will work with the San Francisco Planning Department on new simulation, planning and urban development tools and technologies. Synthicity is a software startup that builds simulation tools and solutions for urban development and planning.
BuildingEye will work with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to engage residents and communities. BuildingEye is a software startup that makes permit and noticing information easier to discover through a mapping interface.
ReGroup will work with the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management on enhanced communication services. ReGroup is a software startup that provides multi-channel emergency notifications.
This story was updated at 3:05 p.m. to include an interview with San Francisco Chief Innovation Officer Jay Nath.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau violated the Conflict of Interest Act by improperly pressuring former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to halt the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin, Canada's ethics watchdog declared Wednesday — a bombshell report that leaves a substantial crater in the Liberal government's road to re-election.
Mario Dion concluded that Trudeau's attempts to influence Wilson-Raybould on the matter contravened section 9 of the act, which prohibits public office holders from using their position to try to influence a decision that would improperly further the private interests of a third party.

Read the full report: Watchdog finds Trudeau broke conflict of interest rules on SNC-Lavalin Back to video
He said there's little doubt that SNC-Lavalin's financial interests would have been furthered had Trudeau succeeded in convincing Wilson-Raybould to overturn a decision by the director of public prosecutions, who had refused to invite the Montreal engineering giant to negotiate a remediation agreement in order to avoid a criminal prosecution on fraud charges related to contracts in Libya.

Ask anyone what the three top-selling cars are in the U.S., and if your friends are like mine, then the answer you're going to get is "Camry, Accord, and something else—Fusion maybe?" Last month, April, the Camry came in first in sales, with 38,009 units.

Ask anyone what the three top-selling cars are in the U.S., and if your friends are like mine, then the answer you're going to get is "Camry, Accord, and something else—Fusion maybe?"
Last month, April, the Camry came in first in sales, with 38,009 units. The Accord was second, at 34,124. And the Fusion was third, at 26,435. The Altima came in at with 25,004 units.

But in March, while the Camry came in first in sales, with 41,953 units. The Accord, with 33,962, didn't come in second. It was third, as it was in February with 24,622.
The second-place went to the Nissan Altima in March, when there were 35,921 of the sedans sold.
It might then stand to reason that if the Accord was third in February, that the Altima was the second-best selling car in the U.S. that month, too.
Might be reasonable, but wrong.
Altima was the best-selling car in the U.S. in February. There were 30,849 Altimas sold in the U.S. that month. There were 29,998 Camrys sold.
Who knew (outside, of course, of people at Nissan)?
Yes, the Altima is a vehicle that plenty of people in the U.S. buy, yet is a vehicle that, outside of its happy owners, few people are all that aware of. This, of course, seems somewhat disjointed in that if people don't know about the Altima they're unlikely to buy an Altima.
But maybe it's just that Toyota and Honda do a better messaging job and so Nissan ought to rethink that association with Robert Downey, Jr.
The Altima has been on the market since 1992. It is now in its fifth generation of existence.
Year after year, the clever Nissan designers and engineers have been making little tweaks and big modifications to make the car better.
This one isn't the huge design departure that existed between generation 4 (model year 2007-12) and, well, every Altima before that one. Arguably, gen 5 is a variation on the existing theme, with the lines for the headlamps, shoulders, etc. all being more extreme on the new one, though the template of the 4th is still in evidence.
One of the things that the current car is really predicated on is its fuel efficiency, which is based on a number of things, such as the use of a continuously variable transmission (CVT), whether it is in a four-cylinder car, like the one we're dealing with here, or the larger six.
The principle of the CVT is that variability is better than the fixed nature of the gear sets in conventional automatic transmissions. This means more efficiency in overall powertrain performance, which translates into better fuel efficiency. So in the case of the car here, the window sticker has 27 city, 38 highway, and 31 mpg combined.
But for those who are not familiar with driving a car with a CVT, the experience is somewhat different than the conventional automatic. Even though the software engineers work hard to make the CVT driving experience "seem" like a step-gear transmission (i.e., the ordinary one), there are audible differences (I discerned a slight whine that brought to mind a hybrid) as well as performance differences (the acceleration may be more linear than with a step gear transmission, but when heavy on the throttle it seemed as though it was taking longer to move the needle on the speedo to where I wanted it to be).
But fuel efficiency isn't entirely a function of what's under the hood. The overall mass of the vehicle matters, too, so the engineering team went to work at lightening up the vehicle without making it seem in the least bit flimsy. This is one part the use of materials like advanced high-strength steels and aluminum (hood, bumper beam) and one part aerodynamic improvement (the aforementioned forms and lines are all pulled back, in effect, so the coefficient of drag is improved by 5%, which is no small number in this context.
Inside, the Altima seems to be pretty much on par with the midsize category. I must confess that the "NASA-inspired zero-gravity seats" seemed pretty much like any midsize terrestrial car seat I've experienced.
The car as driven had two major option packages, the "Convenience Package" with things like express up/down for the driver's window, moonroof, Homelink, and a "mood lamp in roof console" (?!); it added $1,350. Then there is the "Technology Package," $1,090, which brings in navigation, as well as blind-spot and lane-departure warning functionality.
Add in mats ($185) and destination ($810) to the foregoing and the MSRP goes from $24,180 to $27,615.
According to TrueCar, the average price for a light vehicle in April 2014 was $30,868. Drilling down deeper, the average price for a Nissan (including Infiniti) was $25,854. The average price of a Honda (including Acura) was $27,764. It was $29,731 for Toyota (including Scion and Lexus).
All of which is to say that Nissan—and the Altima—are evidently quite competitive.

Deadline Day
TORONTO — I'm hunkered down here at the Bastian residence, monitoring news via various Web sites and making calls today to see what's up as the Trade Deadline nears. There have been a couple interesting developments as we've approached the 4 p.m. ET deadline.
ESPN is reporting that the Blue Jays have inquired about outfielders Jason Bay and Raul Ibanez. Toronto is 6.5 games out of the Wild Card, putting them in that spot between being out of it and really being in contention. So, if they could add another bat to what's been a dismal offense, they might just do it.
The only issue with Bay is what the Pirates might want in return. If Pittsburgh wants a three- or four-prospect package, including Travis Snider, my bet would be that the Jays balk. Now, Toronto might be willing to move Adam Lind while his stock is high, especially with Snider waiting in the wings — just speculating here.
I don't really have a gut feeling about what Toronto will do with less than two hours to go before the deadline. Players such as David Eckstein, Gregg Zaun and John McDonald, or a few relievers, could be dealt, but they just might as easily stick around (at least for now — there's always August).
We'll be talking to Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi later this evening to discuss what did or didn't happen on the trade front, and also to hopefully find out how Dustin McGowan's right shoulder surgery went. Stay tuned for more…
UPDATE — 2:55: The Blue Jays interest in Pirates outfielder Jason Bay reportedly ended with precisely one phone call. Pittsburgh apparently asked for Toronto starter Shaun Marcum and top outfield prospect Travis Snider for starters, leading the Jays to move on.
UPDATE — 3:15: Talks between the Jays and Mariners about Raul Ibanez are reportedly ongoing, though no other names involved in the deal have been made public. Jeff Blair of the Globe and Mail is reporting that the Marlins have inquired about Matt Stairs. No word about catcher Gregg Zaun, who has been tied to Florida in previous reports.
UPDATE — 3:53: Seven minutes to go and apparently the M's had second thoughts about parting with Ibanez. ESPN is reporting that it would've been a 2-for-1 swap with the Jays, involving all Major League players. Interesting. It's looking like the Jays will be standing pat after all. Stay tuned…
UPDATE — 4:45: Blue Jays stand pat. Disgruntled Gregg Zaun stays put, as does A.J. Burnett. And it's sounding like Manny is going to be Manny under Joe Torre in L.A. Bay goes to Boston and the Pirates get four minor leaguers in the three-team blockbuster. Also, good news for Jays starter Dustin McGowan. He had successful surgery on his right shoulder, but did not need work on his rotator cuff. He can begin a throwing program in roughly four months. This is good news.

Why would we ever want another old broken down underperforming overpaid outfielder like Raul Ibnaez? We already have Wilkerson, Stewart and Mench-isn't that enough?
Who is JP kidding when he says he tried for Jason Bay? That 3 way deal was done two to three days ago. Pure BS to make himself look good to Godfrey.
Clearly, this team isn't going anyplace with JP as GM.
How can they make no moves? Why were they buyers and not sellers? Why would JP waste time trying to get Bay or Ibanez?
The Jays are clearly in a sell position. I cannot comprehend the fact that there was no market for any of Zaun, Eckstein, Stairs or Downs. All should have been easy sells. They should have been able to get some prospects or at least draft picks. I can understand not dealing Burnett because if he opts out, they get 2 first round picks. So the offer needs to be better than that.
Were Scutaro and Inglett made available? What contender wouldn't want that kind of utility player coming off the bench?
The Jays brass needs to come to the realization that JP must be on some kind of trading blacklist. He has been a complete failure in terms of making deals. He needs to go. A GM is only as good as his negotiation skills.
You can't trade draft picks in baseball Andrew.
I would've been happy to see Bay here, not so much for this year but he could've helped out next. Anyway, surprising to see that no one wanted Eckstein or Zaun enough to entice J.p. with something. It's not like it really matters in the grand scheme of things though. Trading away guys like Scutaro, Zaun, Inglett etc. wouldn't get them much anyway but I would've liked to see if they could find a place for B.J. Ryan.
I'm not sure why we would want to dump B.J? He will be back to his 06 form next year for sure and continue to be extremely valuable. Closers are the hardest thing to find. Getting Bay would have been awesome, but not at the cost of Marcum + Snider. Snider and a farm arm and I think hard about it. With Marcum getting better every year he is our future #2

Espresso or cappuccino: perfection, perfection everywhere but not a drop to drink
Posted by TheShot on 22 Jul 2010 | Tagged as: Add Milk, Consumer Trends, Quality Issues, Restaurant Coffee
We've previously lamented the abuse and overuse of the term "perfect," particularly when it comes to espresso. For this, and for injecting the term into the media vernacular for anything we consume, we have justifiable grounds to send Martha Stewart back to prison. Until we again see Martha in an orange jumper, today our inboxes provided two more exhibits for state's evidence.
The first concerns a pursuit of un cappuccino perfetto in San Francisco: The Sipping Point – The Bold Italic – San Francisco by Nicole Martinelli. The other comes from a coffee taster and sales manager for Caffè Umbria: Coffee Taster » Blog Archive » The perfect espresso: a caresse, not a punch. The latter covers some familiar themes on what's lacking in restaurant espresso in America, so here we will instead focus on the former article.
Ms. Martinelli's article is written from the perspective of a San Franciscan who, for a time, left to live in Milan, Italy. She thus uses Milan as her point of reference for the "perfect" cappuccino. Yet we've stated for years how Milan is one of the greatest espresso underachievers in Italy, and the café ratings in Gambero Rosso's annual Bar d'Italia back us up. (The additional irony of an interista speaking to the authentic Italian cappuccino is also not lost here, given that the Inter soccer club is about as Italian as Buenos Aires' Boca Juniors.)
So how can you stake a legitimate claim to perfection when your reference point is anything but? It's not by accident that of the 666 active San Francisco espresso purveyors currently listed on CoffeeRatings.com, not one of them scores higher than an 8.6 on a 10-point scale. But what is interesting is the cappuccino angle, of course. Even if the comprehensiveness of the author's quest falls about 659 entries short of ours, we've historically made it a point not to rate the cappuccino. We do, however, comment on their quality in the reviews, and this does influence our Taster's Correction score. But if they can judge a cappuccino at barista competitions, there's reason to suggest we should.
The article also cites Giorgio Milos, who recently ruffled some American feathers by suggesting the Italian way is the only way to appreciate espresso. Back to our original "perfect" denunciation, we introduced the work of Howard Moskowitz to underscore that instead of a "perfect cappuccino", what society really wants are the "perfect cappuccinos." OK, i cappuccini perfetti if you want to be Italian about it.

enjoyment and I laughed, with articles, really the word "perfect" to be oversold as the word "super" in some time.

Rosetta successfully swings by Mars
On 25 February at 03:15 CET, Rosetta successfully swung past Mars at 250 km altitude, speeding away at 36 000 km/hour in a crucial gravity assist.
On 25 February, engineers at ESA's Space Operations Centre confirmed that Rosetta had successfully swung by Mars in the second of four critical gravity assists in its ten-year voyage to comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Closest approach occurred at 03:15 CET at an altitude of 250 km; departure velocity was estimated to be 36 191 km/hour relative to the Sun (all times indicate Earth receive time).
In addition to confirming extensive and careful operations preparations, the successful passage allowed scientists to switch on several of the spacecraft's instruments as well as the camera onboard the Philae lander to image Mars. Results will help calibrate instruments after comparison to parallel observations made by ESA's Mars Express.

Congressional Gold Medal goes on national tour
Herbert Yanamura is an American, born and raised among the coffee farms of Hawaii's Kona district. Yet the U.S. government branded him an "enemy alien" after the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor because he looked like the invaders.
So Yanamura volunteered to join the Army to prove his loyalty.
Nearly 70 years later, that same government honored him and the thousands of other Japanese-Americans who served in World War II with one of its most elite rewards: the Congressional Gold Medal.
Starting this weekend in New Orleans, the medal is going on a yearlong national tour that will spread the stories of the veterans, their sacrifices and their triumphs. The tour is organized by the Smithsonian in partnership with the National Veterans Network, a coalition of Japanese-American veteran and civic organizations.
Irene Hirano Inouye said her late husband - U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye, who lost his right arm fighting with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in Italy - saw the tour as an important way to tell others what happened.
"For a lot of younger people, World War II is like ancient times," Inouye said in a telephone interview. "We have to remember that there are a lot of younger people who just have not been exposed to the story."
Congress last year awarded the medal collectively to men who served in three segregated units of mostly Japanese-Americans: the 100th Infantry Battalion - nicknamed the Purple Heart Battalion because of the casualties it endured- the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the Military Intelligence Service. Besides these units, it was rare for Japanese-Americans to serve in other parts of the U.S. military.
The 442nd - which absorbed the 100th Infantry during the war - is the most highly decorated military unit in U.S. history for its size and length of service. Soldiers of the 442nd and 100th both fought in Europe.
Linguists in the Military Intelligence Service served in the Pacific, interrogating Japanese prisoners and deciphering maps, soldier diaries and other documents.
Japanese-Americans were at first not allowed to serve, rendered ineligible for the draft because of their "enemy" status.
But in 1943, the government decided to allow some to volunteer.
The Army put out a call for 1,500 to come forward; more than 10,000 raised their hands.
Yanamura's homeroom teacher (also Japanese-American) told his class all 18-year-olds should volunteer to prove their loyalty.
"I went home from school and talked to my father. He said, without any hesitation, `You must volunteer. You got to show your loyalty,'" Yanamura said.
He first joined the 442nd but switched to the MIS after realizing he would be more useful as a linguist than as an infantryman.
He was awarded the Bronze Star for using a loudspeaker to successfully coax 1,500 civilians and 150 soldiers in the village of Maehira to surrender during the Battle of Okinawa.
He never spoke much of his actions until recently, modestly saying "we really didn't do much." And he at first doubted whether he should be honored by the same award given to George Washington and other American heroes.
But he's come to accept the medal as an apology to men who risked their lives even though their country treated them as enemies and imprisoned their families in concentration camps.
"Despite all that, we still went ahead and performed outstandingly," he said. "From that standpoint, I guess, we should be thankful that the recognition has been made, though a long time later."
Inouye said her husband, who died last month at the age of 88, would tell school groups the U.S. continues to evolve and grow, noting he became a senator even though he was once declared an enemy alien.
"A lot of those lessons are what the real meaning of an exhibition like this is," she said.
Yanamura, now 88, and Inouye will attend a ceremony opening the exhibition on Saturday at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. The medal will travel to museums in Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Ore., Chicago and Houston over the next year.

Simple flip phones like T-Mobile's Samsung t159 remain relevant for one primary purpose: placing and taking calls. Lacking the pomp of smartphones packed to the gills, they had better at least get call quality right. Thankfully, Samsung's $20, stripped-down t159 passes the audio test with flying colors.
Design and OS
There are flip phones with more sheen and style than the Samsung t159; in fact, almost all of them offer some graceful line or polished accent. Not so in the case of this stock phone. Its all-black form looks boring and cheap, the only interesting part is a fine-grain diamond pattern on the back panel. At least the finishes fit the $19.99 price tag. On the plus side, the t159's slim dimensions -- 3.8 inches tall by 1.9 inches wide by 0.6 inch thick -- fit it easily into pockets. At 2.9 ounces, it's also pretty light; a hair too light for my tastes.
T-Mobile's $20 Samsung t159 scores on calls (pictures)See all photos
A standard clamshell design puts a 1-inch external display out front for checking the time, and for viewing signal strength and alerts, like awaiting messages or missed calls, at a glance. Above the screen is a 1.3-megapixel camera lens with camcorder capability. Inside, the 1.8-inch screen is too small; it could easily stretch to 2 inches. Flipping open the phone instills confidence in the thick joint. The rubber stopper protecting the top of the phone isn't attractive, but it is effective.
Beneath the screen is a large navigation array that includes two soft keys, a Send and End/Power button, and a Clear button, all surrounding the four-directional toggle with central OK button.
The phone's volume rocker is on the left spine, and on the right you'll find the camera shutter button and the shared Micro-USB slot and headset jack. That means that you'll unfortunately need an adapter if you're planning to listen to music or messages from the t159 through a wired headset. There's no microSD card slot on the t159, which isn't necessarily a drawback for this type of entry-level device. Extra storage is always nice to have, but since the hardware design doesn't place a premium on photos or music, it's understandable why expandable memory didn't make the cut.
A proprietary operating system runs the t159 and unfortunately, its oversimplicity isn't easy on the eye. I know, I know, that sounds counterintuitive, but the default menu screen is plain white and the icons are a little simplistic. The 128x160-pixel QVGA resolution is poor, and it shows in larger lettering and in the icons. You can customize elements like the wallpaper, dialing display, and brightness and backlight times, but you can't change other graphical elements, or the font size.
Placing and receiving calls is the phone's principle function, and despite the unpolished interface, the address book gives you the space you need to store contact information, including multiple phone numbers, an e-mail address, a birthdate, a note, and even extra fields. You can also add a group ID, set a photo ID, and select from one of 18 ringtones. In addition, you can set the phone to silent mode, with vibration only.
Although the t159 is anything but a feature phone, it does do more than make calls. There's texting and multimedia messaging, assisted by predictive text modes. There's also Bluetooth support, and a personal organizer with the usual tools: a calendar, a calculator, an alarm, a to-do list, and a memo. There's a tip calculator as well, plus a world clock, a converter, a timer, and a stopwatch. An RSS reader and voice commands through Nuance are two extras. 3G connectivity helps the Web2Go browser load up content, but it isn't always easy reading on the 1.8-inch screen.

Abstract and Keywords
With the shift in learning objectives that were more focused on the development of skills and processes, new assessment techniques were required to be developed to determine the effectiveness of new active-learning techniques for teaching these skills. In order for assessment to be done well, instructors must consider what learning objective they are assessing, clarify why they are assessing and what benefits will derive from the process, consider whether they will conduct assessments during or after the learning process, and specifically address how they will design solid assessments of active learning best suited to their needs. The various types of assessment for active-learning strategies include written and oral debriefing, observations, peer- and self-assessment, and presentations and demonstrations. In addition, there are several different measurement tools for recording the assessment data, including checklists and student surveys. A final aspect to consider when examining assessment techniques and measurement tools is the construction of an effective rubric. Ultimately, further research is warranted in the learning that occurs through the use of active-learning techniques in contrast with traditional teaching methods, the "portability" of active-learning exercises across cultures, and the use of newer media—such as internet and video content—as it is increasingly incorporated into the classroom.

Route 20 Road Challenge keeps growing
Many runners stay in shape year round for the variety of races offered in central New York.
The folks who run the events aren't about to slack off either.
Craig North and John Sagendorf are prime examples and the past few weeks they have been bust organizing preparations for the upcoming 13th annual Route 20 Road Challenge.
The series of road races, fun runs and walks are held on towns on or near the highway that lays claim to being the longest in the United States.
There were eight the first year and it grew to 21 events in 2012. This year's series features 25 events and all were discussed at a recent meeting for the races along the eastern section of the series.
"We're moving forward with this all the time and we're getting streamlined," North, an Eaton resident in charge of the October 19 Eaton 5K Run/Walk, said. "We meet new people with different ideas."
The Dispatch area has its share of races and walks on the 2013 schedule. Hamilton's Habitat for Humanity HomeRun 5K Run/Walk and half marathon started the 2012 series last April and is firming up its date for 2013. Chittenango has the Yellow Brick Road 8k Run and 5K walk, ChildRun in Morrisville has a 5K and 1-mile fun run, Nelson has the MadCoW 5K Run/Walk, Morrisville has the Madison Hall 5K Run/Walk, Hamilton has the CNS Waddle Toddle 5K Run/Walk and 1-mile fun run, Cazenovia has the CROP 5K Run/Walk and Eaton has its 5K Run/Walk.
Each race has a checklist of items that need to be covered including entry forms and fees, awards, insurance, promotional ideas and sponsors.
Sagendorf, the administrator for the Route 20 Association, ran the January 12 meeting at the New York Pizzeria in Richfield Springs.
"This is my fourth year," the Cobleskill resident said. "I'll do as much as (I) can."
All involved do a lot, and the events are lucky to break even financially. Chobani was the corporate sponsor in 2012 and helped a great deal and has signed up to help again this year. Other corporate help is welcome.
"We'd like to at least break even," Sagendorf said. "It's finding people who will help."
Each race has a handful - or more - volunteers helping register runners, timing, doing concessions and such. They started in April and ended in late October in 2012.
The 2013 Route 20 Road Challenge looks to begin with a fun run on February 17 and end with another on Thanksgiving morning. Both are new events, along with a race at the Lafayette Apple Festival and another in Cherry Valley.
More than 2,500 runners took part in the races last year. Those who raced in a certain amount of events won extra prizes and this year's series may feature even more incentives.

New Version of the Rule Book 5.40
Changes from 5.21 to 5.40
(blue: add on struck through: replaced)
Page 4: Acknowledgement
And I would also like to thank Rodrigo Royo, who came up with the idea for the solo scenarios.
Page 9: 3.3.4. Turn out of the Wind: Bear Away
Note: Turning doesn't cost any Movement Points.
Page 9: 3.3.5. Move Ship Sideward: Leeway
Note: The ship may not move backward.
Page 9: 3.3.6. Move Ship Sideward: Windward
Windward moves a ship sideward into another hex, but relatively closer to the wind than before.
Note: Pushing a ship sideward directly toward the wind is NOT possible. Moving backward isn't possible either.
Page 10: 3.6. The Line-Formation
...Note: The rule stating that a following ship must be activated and moved directly after the leading ship means that only one ship can follow. Branches or V-formations are not supported by this rule.
Page 11: 4.1. Determine Squadron's Strength
...The result should be noted on the Time Sheet of each Squadron for the current Game Turn.
Page 11: 4.2. Play Admiral's Order Cards
...It keeps the secret which squadron does not benefit from an Admiral's Order Card.
All cards must be played hidden and simultaneously. Once played, they are all turned over.
The Card-Marker should remain to indicate to which squadron each card belongs.
Page 11: 4.3. Draw Initiative Markers
One of the two drawn markers must finally be selected as Initiative Marker.
One of the two drawn Initiative Markers must finally be selected.
Page 13: Captain-Order: Full Sails
...If a ship loses its last mast, as a result of using full sails, it must return to its starting point and perform the Captain-Order At the Ready instead.
...If a ship loses a mast, as a result of using full sails, it must return to its starting point and perform the Captain-Order At the Ready instead.
Page 13: Table of Captain's Orders
(*6 In Line AO: Cost for ship 1-4: 1CP. Cost for ship 5-: only ½CP
Page 14: 4.4.2. Draw Manoeuvre Cards (MCs)
...and are required to perform manœuvres based on the Admiral's Order and the given Captain-Orders, as well as to fire broadsides.
Page 15: 4.6.5. Draw Manoeuvre Cards (MCs)
Determine the number of Manœuvre Cards for each ship, note them on the Time Sheet and draw from stack.
Page 16: 4.7.3. Test For Capitulation
If the ship is a Frigate it must discard all its remaining Manœuvre Cards.
!! Important New Rule !!
Page 17; 4.7.5. Check for end of game
...In case of a tie in Victory Points, the French always win....
Page 17; 4.7.5. Check for end of game
Remark: The pure number of gained Victory Points only give an idea of who "wins" the game, they should rather be seen as a motivator to drive the rule system. Whether a battle was recognized as a victory in the home countries and how it would have been evaluated from a historical point of view is a different story. Within the game the "winner" is determined by scenario specific victory conditions, but nobody can really say if those conditions would have been accepted by the nations at that time.
Page 19: 5.1.7. Fire into a Cluster
First there must be a clear Line of Sight from the firing ship to the target. The aimed target must not be hidden by another ship within the cluster. Otherwise to fire the broadside is not allowed.
Before After the broadside was fired as described in chapter 5.1.4 Fire a Broadside, two dice (2D6) must be rolled.
!! Important Change !!
If the result is greater than or equal 6 treat the broadside as if the Rare Event "Friendly Fire" happened, following the same procedure as described above.
Page 20: 5.2.4. Anchor
This is only possible at the end of its activation, after all Movement Points have been used and requires to discard a Special Manœuvre.
Page 21: Restrictions using Full Sails
Note: If firing a broadside under Full Sails, only one die is used. All bonuses on broadsides are ignored.
Page 21: 5.4. Strike ship's colours by choice
If the ship is a Frigate it must discard all its remaining Manœuvre Cards.
A ship that struck its colours can be captured and taken as Prize by the enemy. It can also be regained by a vessel of its own nation. See 5.2.5 Recover a Ship that struck its Colours.
Page 22: 6.1.2. Close Manoeuvre within the same Hex, or grappled
This is typically the case if a Close Action Phase from the previous game turn was not resolved
or ships collided caused by drifting or the ships had not been able to move out of the hex.
Page 22: Select Start Position Card
Note: To free previously grappled or collided ships, the Close Action Card Cut Free must be played, or the enemy ship must be successfully boarded in the following Close Action Phase.
Note: To free previously grappled or collided ships in the following Close Action Phase, the Close Action Card Cut Free must be played, or one of the both ships must be successfully boarded.
Page 24: Rules for the Close Manoeuvre Phase
- · The Close Manœuvre Phase ends if the last played Close Manœuvre Card does not show a Ship's Wheel in the upper right corner. The description of this last card must be followed.
- · If the active player cannot play another Close Manœuvre Card, matching the colour of the previously played card, he MUST finalize the Close Manœuvre Phase by playing the appropriate Final Position Card and follow its text.
Page 26: Mêlée Fight Man to Man
If Boarding Crew has at least one team left when it is executed, it must fight man-to-man against the opponent's active crew on the opponent's deck.
Page 27: Boarding Crew
If two Boarding Crews fight each other, they fight simultaneously on both decks. Count down the casualties, one by one, until one or both crews are disabled.
!! New Rule !!
Page 27: Nelson's Patent Bridge for Boarding 1st -Rates
If, after a successful boarding attempt, there is another enemy ship within the same hex as the just captured prize, or the prize is collided with another ship, the successor can decide to start a further Close Action immediately, using the prize as a "bridge" to reach the other ship. As the attacker, he is the Active Player for this action. Both parties draw Close Action Cards according to the rules, but no Close Manœuvre Cards are drawn. The number of cards for the Active Player is determined based on the Ship Condition of the original ship (not the "bridge"). Any crew casualties of the upcoming fight will also be removed from that ship. The fight starts directly in the Close Action Phase, with multiple turns and grappling allowed or with one turn, if the attacked ship is collided with the "bridge" (see 6.5). Broadsides, Carronades and Grapeshots are not allowed. If the attacked ship is successfully boarded it also becomes a prize. But if the defender can successfully send out his boarding crew, the first prize (the "bridge") is gained back. In any case the Close Action ends after this second attack.
Page 28 -> Page 29: Wrecks
A wooden ship does not simply disappear if it is wrecked. A ship becomes a wreck, if it has lost all its Ship Condition Points.
!! Rule Extension !!
Page 30: Rule Extension: In Irons
If a ship is pointing directly into the wind, at the end of the Game Turn, it is said to be "in irons". The ability to steer the ship will be lost.
This is simulated by the opposing player choosing to which side the ship turns, when testing for drifting.
See 4.7.2 Test for Drifting for details.
To tighten this rule, a ship that is still in irons at the beginning of its activation, loses 2 of its Movement Points for that activation. This simulates the fact that the ship needs to regain speed after having almost stopped.
However it is a rule extension, which requires both players to agreement, at the beginning of the game.
!! New Rule for special
scenarios only !!
Page 30: Coastal batteries
Rule extension for Coastal batteries:
A coastal battery automatically fires at the end of each game turn, as the first step within the Cleanup Phase.
Each battery originally fires with 3 dice at the enemy ships.
Hint: To indicate the power of the battery, place 3 dice beside it on the game board.
Each battery can fire multiple times, once at each 60° fire arc (I., II., III. and IV.). Ships located so that they are within two neighbouring, overlapping fire arcs, can be hit twice. (Purple line in the diagram.)
Within each fire arc one enemy ship must be selected by the owner of the battery as target.
The artillery strength of a coastal battery equals a Ship Condition (SC) of 13.
Determine the Fire Power (FP), based on the distance and the SC of 13 using the Fire Power Table. The range of the batteries is enhanced: For a distance between 10 and 15 the Fire Power (FP) is one.
Roll as many dice as available for the battery (originally 3 dice) and take the sum of the values.
Lookup the result in both ("Rigging" AND "Ship") Hit Tables, based on the Fire Power (FP) and the dice value.
All damage from both tables count. If a Rare Event ('#') is part of the result, roll another two dice (2D6). Due to the two Hit Tables even two Rare Events are possible.
Adaptation of the Rare Event Table for a firing coastal battery:
- Number 3: Bad luck: A gun explodes at the battery: Remove one die from the Battery
- Number 7: Chosen by the opponent, one friendly ship becomes an additional target, if it's in the fire arc. Determine the Fire Power based on the distance and the SC of 13. Roll only one die (1D6) to determine the damage. Use only the Hit Table that originally caused the Rare Event.
- Number 12: A fire breaks out at the battery. See special rules for fire at the battery, below.
Note: When the battery is damaged, it loses one die and must fire with the remaining dice from now on. If all three dice are gone, the battery is destroyed.
Rule extension: Ships firing at coastal batteries
If somebody fires at a cost battery he MUST use the "Rigging" Hit Table.
However, only "Ship" hits ("S") count as damage. If "Ship" was hit, the targeted battery must remove one of its dice. With two "Ship" hits ("2S") two dice must be removed, and so on.
If all dice are removed, the battery if destroyed.
If a Rare Event ("#") is part of the result, roll another two dice (2D6).
Adaptation of the Rare Event Table if firing at a coastal battery:
- Number 2: ignore
- Number 4: A fire breaks out at the battery.
- Number 5: remove two dice from the battery
- Number 7: remove one die from the battery
- Number 8-9: ignore
- Number 10-11: A fire breaks out at the battery
(everything else stays as described at the Rare Event Table)
Rule Extension: Fire at a coastal battery
If there is a fire at a coastal battery, in the Cleanup Phase it must be checked whether this fire causes further damage.
Two dice (2D6) are rolled and the result is modified by the power of the battery (1-3) as indicated by the number of dice the battery still has.
The result can be checked in the "Check for Fire" Table.
Any rigging results are ignored. If there is a Ship Damage ("S") one die of the battery must be removed.
If the battery explodes, probably by the fire reaching the powder magazine, it is destroyed and loses all its dice at once.

Simply put – my sister married the village idiot. They had a daughter that married a lawyer who wanted and got my land. It is a story about Elder Abuse, Greed and in my opinion murder. It is a witch's brew made in hell. It is my opinion based on firsthand knowledge, conduct of the parties, their motive, opportunity and preparation. This scam was planned out over a long period of time. They were scheming while I was trusting and dreaming. It cost me a $1,000,000, my father, and part of my family.
My sister made my father do something cowardly and dishonest.
For 92 years my father was a decent, hard working, brave and honest man. Using duress and threats of abandonment my sister made my father do something cowardly and dishonest. In his hour of need she used her power over him to get him to sign a deed disinheriting one of his four children. She forced him into engaging in cowardly and dishonest conduct by preventing him from telling his son that he had disowned and disinherited him out of $850,000 worth of Real Estate, oil and gas property and other estate assets that he and his wife and wanted his son to receive before her death, and before he was intimidated, and threatened into signing the deed. This is elder abuse at its worst.
1. 40 years ago my sister Iva June Fail Dedeke married the Village Idiot Gene Dedeke.
2. 30 years ago they borrowed $175,000 from my father to keep from losing 80 acres of land, two houses, a Service Station Car Repair Shop that they had bought in Leavenworth County Kansas.
3. They refused to pay the loan to my father, and attempted to sell the property.
4. I helped my father and his lawyer Charlie Hinchell in getting the Dedekes to sigh a Mortgage to protect my father's money. They later refused to pay the loan.
5. My father was forced to evict them from the land.
6. My sister and her husband sued my father and filed Bankruptcy against him in an attempt to defraud him.
7. They instilled vengeance and hate in their two children by lying to them and telling them that my father and me had stolen their land.
8. We were not allowed to see their two children for over 10 years.
9. Their children made documented deaths threats against my father.
10. As Murphy's Law would have it - Their daughter Tonia Dedeke Nelson married a Lawyer. Leavenworth Lawyer Gary A. Nelson. He was the legal expert that crafted and directed the estate fraud. He got my land that my mother and father wanted me and children to receive when they passed.
11. I discovered the plot and deed scam shortly before my father passed on December 21, 2005. I called my older brother Ivan Lee Fail. He told my sister that I had discovered the deed. Using her Medial power of attorney - she immediately placed my father in a rest home in St Paul Kansas and he died before I could hire a lawyer to help me see and talk with him. She had him buried within 48 hours.
12. I sued them and spent $50,000 on five different lawyers. One by one they quit after Gary Nelson called and talked to them. I had called over 125 lawyers in Kansas. 95% of them were not interested when they discovered that I was suing a lawyer.
13. Lawyer Nelson filed a Motion for Summary Judgment. I was forced to defend it without a lawyer as a result of lawyer Nelson calling each of my lawyers, I lost. Judge Rogers dismissed and tossed my case. Lawyer Nelson knew the judge for 30 years. The judge's father was my ex-wife's divorce lawyer in the same Court room in 1964.
14. To make matters worse my sister was able to solicit my two weak minded brothers Ivan Lee Fail and John Roy Fail into helping her plan and carry out her evil scheme. The received a part of my property and inheritance for doing so. My parents had four children. They left an estate in excess of $3,000,000 in land, homes. Producing oil and gas properties, mineral rights, farm equipment, cars, trucks, cattle, life insurance, and a safe deposit box with $200,000 in cash. My sister June Fail - Dedeke, her daughter Tonia Dedeke - Nelson and my two brothers Ivan Lee Fail, John Roy Fail and my sister's son in law - Lawyer Gary A. Nelson received it all. Me and my children got nothing. This is not what my mother who passed in 2000 and my father wanted. Is fraud and Elder Abuse illegal in Kansas? If so what would you suggest that I do? Don't tell me to hire a lawyer. I hired five lawyers and spent $50,000. They all took my money and ran. Legal Might Trumps Moral Right. The authorities are afflicted with Apathy. They pass the buck and hide under the table as do most Government workers. They say it is good enough for Government work. Really?
"Injustice for one is injustice for
"The only thing that it takes for evil to prevail, is for good men to do nothing
"It is the duty of each of us, to expose Evil where ever we find it, to protect us all". No Justice - No Peace. The evil doers in this story wanted piece, a piece of everything, until they got it all.
My sincere apology to each innocent member of the extended Fail Family that played no role in the wrong doing described herein. You're suffering for having your good Fail Family name besmirched, and tainted is the result of unchecked greed by my three siblings, Ivan Lee Fail, Iva June Fail - Dedeke, John Roy Fail and his girlfriend Patty Hon, Leavenworth Lawyer Gary A. Nelson my sister's son in law, and my sister's daughter Tonia Dedeke - Nelson. Good men & women doing nothing and suffering with Apathy greatly contributed to the problem.

Mozilla developer Ben Hearsum wrote a blog post today, describing the status of the effort to integrate code signing into the automated build process for Firefox on Mac OS X. Mozilla aims to turn on code signing for the browser's nightly builds by next week.
The application needs to be signed so that it will continue to work on Mac OS X 10.8, codenamed "Mountain Lion," which is expected to launch later this year. Mountain Lion introduces a new security feature called Gatekeeper that will prevent the platform from executing applications that come from untrusted sources.
Gatekeeper supports several different configurations, but the default setting will only allow users to run software that has been signed with an Apple-supplied developer key or that comes from the Mac App Store. Third-party developers who do not distribute their applications through the Mac App Store will need to register with Apple, obtain a developer ID and start signing their applications.
Complying with the signing requirement won't pose any major difficulties for the vast majority of Mac developers who already use Apple's development tools. It might not be quite as simple, however, for applications with specialized build processes, many different builds, and extremely frequent releases. One such application is Mozilla's Firefox Web browser.
As Hearsum previously described in a February blog post about Firefox build automation, Mozilla already performs code signing with GPG and Authenticode signatures during the build process. Some early work on integrating native Mac OS X signing into the build process began in 2010, but it was never completed. Hearsum resurrected the project this year and has been moving it forward towards production readiness.
One challenge for Mozilla was determining the best version of OS X to use for signing. Mozilla's Erick Dransch reported in a blog post earlier this year that Firefox builds signed on 10.7 didn't verify on 10.5, which is why Mozilla decided to use 10.6 on their signing servers. Dransch also described how Mozilla uses the command-line
security utility on Mac OS X to unlock the keychain where the signing key is stored without having to deal with an interactive prompt that would interfere with automation.
Mozilla also had to make some decisions about what kind of Apple-approved certificate to use and what level of permission to assign to various kinds of Firefox builds. The "dep" and "try" builds, which are only used internally by Firefox developers, will be signed with a self-signed certificate, which means that they won't be compatible with the default settings on 10.8.
All of the user-facing builds will be signed with official Developer ID certificates, but Mozilla plans to use two separate IDs. One ID will be used for the Nightly and Aurora builds. A second ID will be used for the beta and release builds. Hearsum wrote in his blog post that the purpose of using two separate IDs "gives us some degree of isolation in terms of certificate revocation."
Some recent rumors suggest that Mountain Lion could arrive within the next month, possibly even during WWDC in the first half of June. Mozilla is working to ensure that they have a stable version of the browser that has been signed ready for the launch.
