The Department of Health is not dealing with freedom of information (FOI) requests properly because of a lack of staff, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has said. The ICO has rebuked the Government department over its FOI behaviour.
The Department of Health (DoH) has failed to offer people seeking information the correct advice and assistance and has delayed vital processes beyond a reasonable time frame, the ICO said.
The ICO said in its formal reprimand, its Practice Recommendation, that some of the problems are the result of not enough staff being trained in how to deal with FOI requests.
"While the commissioner has no doubt that pockets of expertise in the area of freedom of information exist within the department, he is concerned that current levels of resource may not support the volume of requests and reviews received," said the recommendation. "He therefore recommends that the department review existing levels of resource for FOI and the deployment of that resource."
The ICO said the DoH was taking too long to process information requests and was not helping people to make their requests as recommended by the Code of Practice of the FOI Act.
"The Department of Health has failed on numerous occasions to offer appropriate advice and assistance to people making requests under the Act and is delaying the conduct of internal reviews beyond a reasonable timescale," said an ICO statement.
"Existing guidance highlights that public authorities should conduct internal reviews within 20 working days (40 days in exceptional circumstances) yet the department took 90 days in one case and 80 days in two other cases," it said.
The ICO also criticised the DoH for issuing "blanket exemptions" from the requirement to publish, meaning that it said whole documents were outside the scope of the FOI Act.
The ICO's Practice Recommendation is based on the results of an audit of 40 complained-about requests made to the DoH. It conducted the audit because it had concerns about the DoH's practices after it breached the Act several times in relation to a single request.
A Practice Recommendation is a first step in the enforcement of the FOI Act. A breach of the recommendation could lead to a breach of the Act itself, which could lead to the ICO issuing an Enforcement Notice. A court can treat a breach of that notice as a criminal offence.
The ICO is continuing its investigations into the DoH on issues not directly covered by this Practice Recommendation, it said. "Other complaints made to the commissioner suggest that the authority may be failing to meet the expected standards of good practice in relation to records management," it said. "The commissioner is exploring these issues further."

2 minor injuries in French nuclear plant incident
Wed., Sept. 5, 2012
PARIS (AP) — A steam blast at France's oldest nuclear plant Wednesday left two workers with slight finger burns and revived calls to reduce this country's heavy reliance on nuclear power.
Nuclear safety authorities said there was no threat of radioactive leaks and that the incident at the Fessenheim plant near the German border was minor. It touched a nerve, however, because anti-nuclear activists have long urged the closure of the plant, which was built in the 1970s and is located in a seismic zone. Those calls have mounted since the earthquake and tsunami disaster at Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant last year.
Utility giant Electricite de France, which operates the plant, denied initial reports of a fire. EDF said in a statement that the incident occurred during maintenance when oxygenated water escaped and prompted a burst of steam. It said all nine people in the facility at the time were examined.
Plant director Thierry Rosso said two employees suffered slight burns on their index fingers from the blast of vapor. He said it triggered automatic calls to the emergency services, but insisted "there is no environmental impact." He said the water involved was not contaminated.
"The next stage is to look at what happened" to cause the blast, he said in a conference call with reporters.
France relies on nuclear energy more than any other nation, getting about ¾ of its electricity from atomic reactors scattered around the country. French President Francois Hollande pledged during his election campaign to close Fessenheim, which operates two 900-watt pressurized water reactors, by 2017.
Workers were preparing a chemical solution for treating waste water in a building that is separate from its two reactors when the incident occurred, said Thierry Charles, deputy director of the Institute for Radioactive Protection and Nuclear Security. He said there was an unexpected chemical reaction that resulted in the steam blast.
"It has nothing to do with radioactivity," he said, noting that oxygenated water is widely used for industrial purposes. He said at this stage he sees "no risks" resulting from the incident.
The regional government in the neighboring German region of Baden-Wuerttemberg, which has been led by the anti-nuclear Greens since last year, has called for France to shut down Fessenheim quickly.
Noel Mamere, a parliament member from the environmental party and a vocal critic of nuclear energy, told BFM television that the latest incident is a reminder that "we must leave nuclear energy progressively" and turn to other, less risky sources of energy.
The environment minister, Delphine Batho, said there was no immediate safety risk but ordered EDF and nuclear safety authorities to study what happened and submit a report to the government.
Charlotte Mijeon of anti-nuclear group "Sortir du nucleaire," or "Abandon Nuclear Energy," noted other incidents over recent years at Fessenheim and said what happened Wednesday should "push the government to act now and not wait until 2017" to close it down.

text: This week flew by for various reasons, so I thought I'd at least try to end the week with a bang. I haven't run a Vulcan's View since the summer, so it seemed like it was time to take a look down on some of volcanoes from the eyes sitting in space. Some are volcanoes that are currently erupting, some haven't erupted in thousands of years, but they've all left their mark on the landscape. As always, if you want to keep up with all the activity each week, be sure to read the Smithsonian/USGS Global Volcanism Program's Weekly Volcanic Activity Report. Here we go! Kilimanjaro, Tanzania Part of the East African Rift system, not only is Kilimanjaro an active volcano, but it is also the host to many glaciers (which are rapidly vanishing). At the peak (both of them) of the mountain, you'll find a number of pit craters sitting within a larger caldera, along with some rift vents splaying off the main summit. Interestingly, it is unclear when the last eruption of Kilimanjaro was, however, the youthful look of the pit craters at the summit suggest that eruptions have occurred in the last few hundreds to thousands of years. Image: NASA Earth ObservatoryShasta, California Much like Kilimanjaro (the tallest mountain in Africa), Shasta is a monster of a volcano. Unlike Kilimanjaro, Shasta is an subduction-related volcano rather than a rift volcano, but they are very similar otherwise. Shasta has a prominent parasitic cone - Shastina - that has grown on the side of the larger edifice - and even a satellite cone to the west in Black Butte (north is to the bottom of the NASA Earth Observatory image). Both of these cones erupted during the Holocene (last 10,000 years). However, the last significant eruption at Shasta was only 216 years ago, when the volcano produced a VEI 3 eruption with pyroclastic flows and lahars speading in the valley surrounding the volcano. Image: NASA Earth ObservatoryValley of 10,000 Smokes, Alaska This year was the 100th anniversary of the Katmai-Novarupta-Valley of 10,000 Smokes eruption in Alaska, probably the largest eruption of the 20th century. When you erupt ~30 cubic kilometers of ash and volcanic debris, it lingers in the environment, especially in locations without abundant vegetation. The ash can be easily remobilized by winds, as we see in November 2012 image of ash blowing out from Katmai over Kodiak Island (above), or by rain, as happens around places like Pinatubo to form lahars. So, even though the eruption may have been a century ago, the lingering hazards remain. Image: NASAAlaid, Russia Although not well-known, Alaid in the Kurile Islands has produced some of the largest explosive eruptions in the western Pacific island arc (and that includes the impressive Sarychev Peak eruption). It has been fairly quiet since the late 1990s, but in the 20 years preceding the last eruption in 1996, it had multiple VEI 2 eruptions and a VEI 4 eruption in 1981 that released almost half a cubic kilometer of volcanic ash and debris (tephra). One of the recent GVP Weekly Volcanic Activity Report noted reports of steam emissions and a thermal anomaly noticed by satellite. Image: NASA Earth ObservatoryKizimen, Russia Another recent entry in the GVP Reports has been Kizimen, where fresh lava flows have been spotted on the flanks of the Kamchatka volcano. This image (above) show the mostly steam plume with minor ash that the volcano has been producing. The report also mentions some small block-and-ash flows being produced from these lava flow fronts, something common at volcanoes like Kizimen. Image: NASA Earth ObservatoryBezymianny, Russia Bezymianny, also in Kamchatka, is one of the more picturesque volcanoes on the planet, with the healing avalanche scarp - like a fast-forward of Washington's St. Helens. This NASA Earth Observatory image shows that scarp and the dome, with most volcanic debris being funneled to southeast. Image: NASA Earth ObservatoryHeard Island, Indian Ocean In the Indian Ocean sits one of Australia's few active volcanoes (albeit not on the Australian continent): Heard Island. It has erupted numerous times over the last century, but its remote location means that we don't know much about these eruptions. We do know that it does have occasionally small lava lakes at the summit -- and very well may have one right now, according to satellite images and thermal signatures. Image: NASA Earth ObservatoryToba, Indonesia For quite some time, the theory that the Toba eruption ~74,000 years ago caused a "genetic bottleneck" in human populations has been floated. This theory, by no means, is accepted by all geologists and anthropologists, but we can agree on one thing: Toba was one of the largest eruptions that has occurred since humans left Africa, erupting over 2,500 cubic kilometers of volcanic material. Some recent research has shown that the acid signature of volcanic aerosols likely from Toba can be found in ice on both polar icecaps, supporting the global influence of the eruption. The above Landsat image of Toba shows the scale of the caldera - it is 100 kilometers from end to end on the long axis! How big is that? It would fit snugly between Columbus and Dayton here in Ohio. Image: NASA / WikipediaIndonesian Arc Another recent research study in Geophysical Research Letters used satellite data - namely inSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) to measure how much volcanoes along the Indonesia arc are inflating or deflating. Not surprisingly in such an active arc, they found that many volcanoes were showing signs of inflation or deflation during 2006-09 -- six in total (out of 80 observed) -- and three ended up erupting during that period. Now, that seems significant, but (caution: small sample size) that is still only 50/50, so we're far from understanding how much/little inflation is needed to be sure a volcanic will erupt. However, it does show how important remote sensing can be for longterm monitoring of volcanoes in places that are difficult to monitor from the ground.

Liz learns about St.Patrick and makes a decision to share God's word with some special people who need to hear it.Play Episode
Episode Theme: God is the God of second chances.
1. Titus 2:11 says, "For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation for all people". Jesus' salvation is for everyone, even those who make mistakes. Think of a time when you were given a second chance. How did it make you feel? Think of a time when you gave someone else a second chance. Why did you do it?
2. Luke 19:1-10 tells the story of Zacchaeus the tax collector. In those times, tax collectors cheated people out of their money. People hated them because they weren't honest. Jesus comes to town and asks Zacchaeus to come to his house to eat with him. Jesus looks past Zacchaeus' sin and sees his heart. Think about how Jesus gave Zacchaeus a second chance as you listen to today's program.
For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation for all people.Titus 2:11
In this episode, Liz learns the story of St. Patrick. Liz, like St. Patrick, wants to help those who have kidnapped him. Do you think that sharing God is more important than getting revenge? It's hard to imagine sharing God's love with people who have treated you badly. Think of the story of Jonah. God told him to preach to the people of Nineveh. The people of Nineveh had killed, kidnapped and tortured his people. Jonah ran away because he didn't want to help them!
But God offers forgiveness and second chances to all people. Are you willing to tell even your worst enemies about God's grace? Are you willing to show God's grace in your own life?
Want to dig deeper and learn more about being a God worshiper? Read Matthew 18:21-22 and Romans 6:23
What story did Aven's dad have the kids act out?
The story of Patrick.
What happened to Patrick when he was a young man?
He was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave.
What did Patrick do after he returned home?
He decided to return to Ireland to tell them about God and his love for them.
What is the main ingredient in black pudding?
Pig's blood.
What is the main ingredient in white pudding?
Sheep's brain.
God gives you second (and third and fourth…) chances when you make a mistake. God wants you to give others a second chance, too. Think of times when you might need to give someone a second chance (someone breaks your toy, cheats at a game, calls you a name, takes something that's yours). Write some of these down. Pray and thank God for giving you many second chances. Ask him to remind you to give others around you second chances as well.

It's been a long time since I've posted. It has been so embarrassingly long since I've posted to this blog, that I don't even know where to begin with updates. So I thought I'd start with this post that I started this summer.
The reality is that I could have done it a lot earlier, but pictures required me to clean the girls' room enough to take a picture that made it seem like I don't allow my kids to live like slobs.....don't judge.
This past summer we bunked the girls beds. I promised that we would make it special.
I was able to do this all for about $25
(the light dimmer cost the most by far! $10)
Wooden dowel: $6
I let Stella paint it.
Christmas Lights: free (from storage)
Dimmer Switch: $10
White Hooks: $2
Closet Flange Thingy: $5
Screw it on to the bed....cross your fingers and hope your husband doesn't yell at you for messing up.
Plastic Shower Curtain Rings: $1
Fabric: free (donated scrap from S. E. THANKS!!!)
I sewed some custom sheer curtains for Stella's bed. I also made a matching cover for Sofia's bed rail. We also painted the plywood between the two beds white.
And TA-DA!! A bed fit for my princess Stella
A view from the inside.
The dimmer switch is awesome for a night light as well as evening reading that won't disturb her older sister.

reproduction, capacity of all living systems to give rise to new systems similar to themselves. The term reproduction may refer to this power of self-duplication of a single cell or a multicellular animal or plant organism. In all cases reproduction consists of a basic pattern: the conversion by a parent organism of raw materials from the environment into offspring—or into cells that develop into offspring (see meiosis; mitosis)—of a constitution similar or potentially similar to that of the parent. The reproductive process always includes the transmission of hereditary material (see nucleic acid) from the parents so the offspring too can reproduce themselves. Although the methods and complexity of the reproductive process vary tremendously, two fundamental types may be distinguished; asexual reproduction, in which a single organism separates into two or more equal or unequal parts; and sexual reproduction, in which a pair of specialized reproductive (sex) cells fuse.

So, there seems to be two schools of thought when it comes to creating your standard team:
- Go big or go home. Get all the biggest, most powerful guys you can to fit into your allotted points
- Swarm them with small, efficient guys averaging about 50 points each.
What are the pros and cons of these methods? Is there anything to keep in mind for either scenario? Is one method significantly better than the other (in theory or practice)?

Family tree▼
Warren R. "Bob" Cookson, a long time resident of Janesville, was called home to be with our Lord on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013, surrounded by his loving family. Bob was born on Feb. 10, 1936, to the late Eunice and Adrian Cookson. At the age of 16, Bob enlisted in the Army and served two terms with an honorable discharge on Dec. 31, 1961. Bob was proud to have served his country and to be a U. S. Army Veteran of the Korean War. A few years later, Bob met and married Jeanette "Ned" Fischer on Sept. 25, 1965, in St Patrick Catholic Church and they had two children. March 28, 1968, Bob was employed by General Motors of Janesville, serving 31 years and retiring from GM on April 1, 1999. Bob had a love and respect of his guns and was an avid Green Bay Packer fan, but his true love, pride and joy were his grandchildren! Up until his passing, Bob was the primary day care to his younger grandchildren. Over the many years he had taught and helped with the raising of his grandchildren to be the young women and boys they are today; teaching and educating them about Military, guns, life in the 50's 60's and much, much more. Bob was a great father and devoted grandfather, who will be missed greatly by his family and friends. "Thank you Dad for all the great memories and we will miss you more than the words could ever say!! We Love you Dad" - Bobby and Anita.Bob is survived by his son, Robert "Bobby" (Denise) Cookson; and daughter, Anita (Christopher) Lloyd; his two granddaughters, Courtney(21), McKayla(19); three grandsons: Bailey(11), Caleb(10), Evan(8); and great-grandson, Keaton (2), all of Janesville; two sisters, Dorris (Leonard) D'Angelo of Milton, and Aletha Ash of Janesville; plus many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Jeanette "Ned" Cookson; parents, Eunice and Adrian Cookson; four brothers: Wayne Cookson, Gerald "Jerry" Cookson, Richard "Dick" Cookson, Ralph Cookson; and one sister, Winifred "Winnie" Schmidt.A Memorial Service to celebrate Bob's life will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 8, 2013, at St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, 210 S. Ringold Ave., with Rev. Daniel Decker officiating.

Since 1938, The American Legion High School Oratorical Contest has provided thousands of young people with a greater understanding and appreciation of the U.S. Constitution, along with the ability to think and speak clearly. Now, The American Legion Department of New Hampshire is providing junior high students with the same opportunity, becoming the only American Legion department to host a Junior High Oratorical Program statewide for students in grades six through eight.
The program will offer an early foundation for knowledge of the Constitution, an outlet to address an audience at a young age and a stepping stone for the Legion High School Oratorical Contest.
The department recently held its 11th annual Junior High Oratorical Program at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm's College in Manchester where four students vied for the $500 top prize. The contest consisted of two parts. First, a three- to five-minute prepared oration on any part of the Constitution and second, a two- to three-minute speech on an assigned phase of the Constitution selected from Articles or Amendments that the judges chose by lottery. Judges all hailed from New Hampshire. The group included Gerry Bernard, department vice commander; James McKay, former Concord mayor and now a member of the State House of Representatives; and John Burke III, vice president and co-founder of Winco Identification Co., in Nashua.
First place and $500 was awarded to eighth grader Roderick Emley of North Haverhill; second place and $400 was awarded to eighth grader Grant Legg of Hampstead; third place and $300 was awarded to eighth grader Wyatt Hoppa of Hampstead; and fourth place and $200 was awarded to eighth grader Virginia Drye of Plainfield. Drye's brother Benjamin is competing in the Legion's National Oratorical Contest this weekend in Indianapolis.
"Over 60 percent of the youth who have participated in New Hampshire's Junior High Oratorical Program have competed in the state's high school Oratorical Contest," said Nathan Fernald, state Junior High Oratorical Program chairman. "Out of those 60 percent, just about half of them have won the state competition and gone on to represent New Hampshire at the national contest."
Fernald helped the department get the program under way by establishing a Junior High Oratorical Program committee. The committee currently includes a Legion representative from the state's eight districts, and committee members are responsible on a yearly basis to contact their local junior high schools and home-schools in an effort to introduce the program. If there's interest from school administrators or parents of home-schooled children, an information packet about the program is mailed and a follow-up call is provided. Each district holds its own contest and sends two contestants to the state competition. During the district and the state competition, participants are allowed to use note cards for reference, without penalty, if they lose their train of thought.
"What makes me feel good about this program is the support I've received over the years from the department," Fernald said. "The department has taken the program under its wings to make sure it stays a successful program."

Baseball fans and players awoke Sunday morning to the tragic news of Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez's death.
The ace right-hander was one of three people killed in a boating accident in Miami Beach. The Cuban-born athlete was just 24 years old.
Miami Marlins players gathered at the team's ballpark to grieve together following the death of their teammate.
U.S. & World
"A lot of words were said, meaningful words and emotion and prayer," Marlins president David Samson said at a news conference, surrounded by more than two dozen players wearing black Marlins jerseys. "Jose is a member of this family for all time."
Manager Don Mattingly and president of baseball operations Michael Hill flanked Samson and fought back tears.
"When I think about Jose, it's going to be thinking about a little kid," Mattingly said. "I see such a little boy in him ... the way he played. ... Kids play Little League, that's the joy Jose played with."
The Marlins' game Sunday against Atlanta was canceled. Their home game Monday night against the New York Mets will be played as scheduled, the team said.
"Deep in our hearts there is a lot of pain," third baseman Martin Prado said. "Somehow we've got to overcome that."
Fans, athletes and sports teams took to social media Sunday to mourn Fernandez's death, tweeting condolences and prayers for his family and the Marlins organization.
"Hands down one of my favorite guys to watch pitch! He brought nothing but intensity and passion," Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price said on Twitter early Sunday.
wow very sad new this morning...hands down one of my favorite guys to watch pitch! He brought nothing but intensity and passion #ripjose — David Price (@DAVIDprice24) September 25, 2016

Man charged with sexually assaulting 4th teen; lawyer says he's 'target of accusations'
Courtesy of WCSO
The boy alleges Leonardo Devinci Christian, who is HIV positive, sexually assaulted him during June and July of this year, prosecutors said.
Christian was charged earlier this year with sexually assaulting three other boys and was arraigned on 13 criminal charges.
Christian was arraigned Thursday in front of Magistrate Thomas Truesdell on first-degree criminal sexual conduct on a person between 13 and 16 years old, third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving penetration on a person between 13 and 16 years old, assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct and sexual penetration by a person with AIDS/HIV on an uninformed partner.
Michael Vincent, Christian's attorney, said he wasn't surprised at the new charges but hadn't had a chance to review the police report related to the new allegations.
"It's easy to accuse somebody of something," Vincent said. "This man has done untold amount of charity work for this city and cared about people who didn't have enough to eat. It seems at this point he's become a target of accusations."
Christian has been held in the Washtenaw County Jail since he was charged in the initial case on Aug. 31. Truesdell raised Christian's bond from $50,000 cash to $100,000 at his arraignment Thursday. He's scheduled to return to court for a preliminary exam on the latest case at 8:30 a.m. Dec. 18 at the 14A-1 District Court in Pittsfield Township.
Christian gave yes and no answers to Truesdell during his arraignment on Thursday. He was a well-respected member of the Ypsilanti community prior to criminal charges being brought against him, organizing annual holiday meals and regularly attending Ypsilanti City Council meetings.
One of the four known alleged victims, a 14-year-old boy, said Christian gave him and his family tickets to the annual holiday meals he organized at Korey's Krispy Krunchy Chicken and Coops Charity Poker Room in Ypsilanti. After charges were brought against Christian in that case, two 15-year-old boys came forward and alleged Christian sexually assaulted them in 2006.
Christian's trial in those cases is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Jan. 22, and court records show he has a final pretrial hearing for those cases at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 18 in front of Washtenaw County Trial Court Judge Donald Shelton.

First, he has only be accused of these terrible things. His day in court will come and hopefully the truth will be found and matters will proceed from there. There always seems to be more to the story than any of us know. If he is indeed found guilty, I can imagine nothing worse and he should be punished accordingly. It is all so sad. But one thing I do ask of annarbor,.com, Leonardo has given much to the community over the years, helping so many people so many times, couldn't you at least find a decent picture of him in your files and use that picture instead of this very sad picture which basically paints him as guilty. Remember, he is innocent until proven otherwise so don't add to the mob mentality here.

Why should anyone look for a different picture of that man ? Like you said he is innocent until proven otherwise.
Fri, Dec 7, 2012 : 4:21 p.m.
I don't know, the mother of my 2 grandchildren got upset with my son, (her x) and called the police and told them that my son "threw her into a wall." It was an automatic arrest, even though there were text messages between the 2 that proved this never took place...on top of the fact that she said it took place at MY home on Easter day (I allowed her into my home on this day. Other than that she was not allowed even in my yard....big mistake on my part). It just makes you wonder. It may also be an automatic arrest & continue on down the legal process due to the fact that kids / young adults are involved in this. You just never know these days with our economy & now holidays causing people even more stress I'm not anxious to hear the news reports anywhere in Michigan. I usually don't watch the news on tv because it is too depressing. I just hope & pray that the truth be found in this case for everyone involved.
Fri, Dec 7, 2012 : 12:50 p.m.
I'm going to guess there are FAR more than simple "accusations." Police do not arrest people on finger pointing alone. I read initially that they had searched his home, so I'm assuming they've found supporting evidence. Of course if all they really do have are accusations.....I wonder if they are aware of the McMartin trial from the 90s? They made a movie about it with James Woods.
Fri, Dec 7, 2012 : 4:35 p.m.
I'm glad you added the part about the McMartin trial. We also had one right here in our area concerning the North Sharon Church. Same result.

Oh Goodness: Cloudbuilt Looks Heavenly
And by that, I of course mean that it kinda vaguely reminds me of Mirror's Edge – which is the highest praise I can give to just about anything with a running component, upward motion, or legs. Cloudbuilt is, however, also quite fond of the good old days before 3D graphics and gravity were invented, so double-jumping, air-dashing, and wall-running add some 16-bit flair to your fancy modern hop 'n' boppery. Basically, though, even a brief glimpse – which you'll be able to glimpse briefly if you head southward of the break – has the part of my brain that's faultily wired to salivate in relation to games instead of food doing its horrendously counterproductive thing.
And oh do the actual nitty gritty specifics of gameplay – you know, beyond "go real fast wheeeeeeeeee" – sound promising. For instance, there's this bit:
"Practice is a central theme of Cloudbuilt. Many modern games seem not to trust you with its potential until you've gained its trust, and therefore spoon-feed you new abilities over the course of the game. Cloudbuilt lets you play with all skills from the moment you begin. You won't need to master them all right away, but to complete the game and beat the records for each level you will be challenged to use what you've learned in creative ways. If you feel that the head-shaped hole in the wall is getting to deep there are usually multiple levels unlocked at any time to choose from."
Meanwhile, Cloudbuilt's trying to steer clear of hyper-linear paths as much as possible, so there are multiple ways around each obstacle. Developer Coilworks notes that players might even discover "some that we don't know of yet." I very much like the sound of that. Also, it all takes place inside the head of a gravely injured future war vet, so my brain is making the perilous conclusion-jump into Psychonauts territory.
So, in short, Cloudbuilt vaguely reminds me of some other really great games, yet looks (and probably plays) absolutely nothing like them, while still managing to seem tremendously promising in its own right. Unfortunately, there's no release date at the moment, but I'm looking extremely forward to seeing more.

ROME — Legionaries of Christ Brother Daniel Turski drew a striking contrast between Blessed John Paul II and Father Marcial Maciel Degollado, the disgraced Legionaries founder, while asking a question after a talk by chastity author and speaker Christopher West.
At a conference on the "Theology of the Body" today at the Legionary-run Regina Apostolorum University, in an auditorium full of Legionary brothers and priests, Turski held up the late Pope John Paul as a model of chastity in contrast to his order's founder, Father Maciel, who who was discovered to have sexually abused seminarians and fathered children.
In responding to Turski, West encouraged the Legion to be honest about its weaknesses and not try to hide the wound of Father Maciel's transgressions. "There is a new humility in you," West said of the Legion, adding that he saw great hope for the Legion as "the army that will bring Theology of the Body to the world."
I spoke with Brother Turski after he made his comment. He said he hadn't planned to say it, but it came out spontaneously.
Speaking about the late pope and the Father Maciel, Turski told me, "One opened his wounded humanity to Christ, but another recognized his wound but hid it out of fear."
Turski, a Canadian who entered the Legion in 2003, said that he was very struck when West pointed out that sexual desires are not meant to be repressed, but rather — through the virtue of chastity — lived in an appropriate manner.
"We've had the repression of what is wrong, but haven't had the proper education of what is right," Turski said of sexual formation in the Legionaries. He said that Father Maciel's personal wound "has trickled down into chastity formation."
Turski said there was plenty of talk about avoidance in his chastity formation, but he also said he saw the need for something West advocated in his talk: namely reverence. West had talked about reverence being the virtue that enables one to see the dignity of the person as one would see a beautiful flower he or she would not want to trample over.
Turski said he and his Legionary brothers talk among themselves about Father Maciel. A fellow Legionary brother also said this was not the first time that a Legionary such as Turski had publically acknowledged Father Maciel's misdeeds.

What do mean by "you had to use Fill for the OSes to see the data partition"?
The only reason I upgraded from Win8 to Win10 was to get the free Win10 activation on the machine. I always intended to do a clean install later, perhaps on a SSD.
But the Win7 install and the Data partition I would really like to get back.

SEATTLE - Five people were shot dead, at least one by police, during a Sunday night gunfight at an apartment complex about 20 miles south of Seattle, a police official said.
Police officers responding to an emergency call at roughly 9:30 p.m. heard gunshots when they arrived at a three-level apartment complex in Federal Way, Washington, said Cathy Schrock, a spokeswoman for the city police.
As police officers approached two men on the ground in the complex's parking lot, one of them reached for a weapon and police shot him dead, Schrock said.
Two other men were also confirmed dead in the parking lot, and a man and a woman were found dead in the complex, which has roughly 25 units.
"We still don't have any idea what started this disturbance tonight," Schrock said, adding that police believe everyone involved was dead. Police were interviewing witnesses on Monday.
"At this time, we are not looking for any additional suspects," Schrock said.
Eight Federal Way officers fired their weapons during the siege and have been placed on paid, administrative leave pending the investigation into the gunfight and their actions, Schrock said, adding that was standard policy. None were injured.

FREEDOM CHILD -- With the threat of rain overnight, trainer Tom Albertrani opted to give Peter Pan winner Freedom Child a strong gallop Sunday morning at Belmont Park. The Malibu Moon ridgling covered six furlongs on the main track, opening up through the lane under a hold by rider Luis Saez.
"We just let him stretch his legs," Albertrani said. "I was listening to the weather and it sounds like there's going to be some heavy rain coming tonight. I was hoping to wait until tomorrow, but I said, 'Let's just get it done today while we've got a good track.' Actually, he went really good. On the clock, he probably went a couple of thirteens, and a twelve, and a thirteen in between the quarter pole and the mile pole. It was a good, strong gallop out. We just wanted him to do it easy."
Albertrani proclaimed major preparations over for Freedom Child, who is campaigned by West Point Thoroughbreds, St. Elias Stable, and Spendthrift Farm.
"As I get closer I could even let him have another little gallop out, just to let him do a little something, but we're good right now," the trainer said. "He's ready. He looks good and we want to keep him that way."
INCOGNITO -- Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin pronounced Incognito ready for the Belmont Stakes on Sunday after the colt breezed four furlongs on the Belmont training track in 48.25 under jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr.
Incognito began the work just off Irsaal, drew alongside his stablemate entering the stretch, and finished within a head of his workmate.
"He galloped out well and worked with a nice horse, Irsaal," said McLaughlin. "He basically hasn't missed any days of training or racing all year. We weren't there to get him fit. Just what we wanted."
Incognito, who will be carrying the colors of Godolphin Racing for the first time in the Belmont, is exiting a fifth-place finish in the Grade II Peter Pan on May 11. He has two wins in six career starts.
MIDNIGHT TABOO / OVERANALYZE / PALACE MALICE / REVOLUTIONARY / UNLIMITED BUDGET -- All five of Todd Pletcher's Belmont contenders breezed Sunday morning, after which the trainer said a final decision likely would be made Monday on whether the filly Unlimited Budget and/or Midnight Taboo would join Overanalyze, Palace Malice and Revolutionary in the race.
Pletcher said he would be discussing the pair's status with their owner, Mike Repole, adding that Unlimited Budget, who went a half-mile in a bullet 47.55 in company with Capo Bastone, was "80-90 percent" certain to run. He said Midnight Taboo, credited with a five-furlong move in 1:00.88, was "50-50" to run.
"Basically, he is holding the cards in terms of how many we end up running," said Pletcher. "With Midnight Taboo, the Easy Goer Stakes is an option that day. It's just a matter of how aggressive Mike wants to be, and take a shot with a horse that's lightly raced but has some talent. It would be asking lot for him to win the Belmont in his fourth start, but strange things have happened."
Pletcher, who won the 2007 Belmont with the filly Rags to Riches, said he was pleased with the way Unlimited Budget went today on the outside of her workmate, as opposed to last week's move on the inside.
"She worked well, really well," he said. "I thought she was full of run throughout and finished up strongly and galloped out well, and seemed to cool out well. It wasn't so much about who she was with, it was trying to execute the work properly. The biggest difference was with her on the outside today, she seemed to get over the ground well."
While Unlimited Budget and Midnight Taboo worked after the renovation break on the main track, Dogwood Stable's Palace Malice (4 furlongs, 47.56), Repole's Overanalyze (48.01) and WinStar Farm's Revolutionary (48.51) went out shortly after 6 a.m.
"I thought we had a very good morning," he said. "All the horses seemed to work pretty well; they were all almost mirror images of each other. I can't say that one stood out from the others."
ORB -- Shug McGaughey this morning gave the go-ahead for Kentucky Derby winner Orb to face Preakness winner Oxbow in Saturday's Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes after the colt worked a half-mile in :48.30 over the main track at Belmont Park.
With regular exercise rider Jennifer Patterson aboard and working in company with Grade 1 winner Hymn Book, the Malibu Moon colt was caught by NYRA clockers going in splits of :13.05 and :25.01. Pulling away from his workmate in the final yards, Orb galloped out five furlongs in 1:00.48.
"He started off nice and steady, which Shug wanted, and finished up strong," said Patterson. "I gave him his head at the eighth pole and he opened up his stride. He did everything very easily. I didn't have to encourage him at all. He came off the track and he was kind of spooking and playing, but in a good way. He's just happy and feeling good. Everything went right this morning."
McGaughey said he was pleased with the move and said the 1 1/2-mile Belmont was "a go" if everything continues to go well.
"He hasn't missed a beat," said the trainer, who won the Belmont in 1989 with Easy Goer. "Everything has been A-1 forward. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you. I think the Belmont is a race that stands on its own, and we would love to be able to compete in it and love to be able to have a good chance to win, and go from there."
FACE-OFF -- The race will be the 21st Belmont in which the Derby and Preakness winner square off, although Orb and Oxbow will have plenty of company with as many as 15 possible to enter. Expected in addition to Todd Pletcher's contingent, Freedom Child and Incognito are Giant Finish, Golden Soul, Will Take Charge, Always in a Tiz, Vyjack and possibly Frac Daddy.
In head-to-head meetings, the Derby winner has won the Belmont five times and the Preakness winner nine times. Most recently, Derby winner Animal Kingdom finished fifth and Preakness winner Shackleford sixth in the 2011 Belmont won by Ruler On Ice.
Orb was favored to win the Preakness, but he finished fourth on a day during which McGaughey said "nothing went right."
"It does shake your confidence a little bit," said McGaughey of the loss. "I remember back in '89 when Easy Goer got beat in the Derby, I attributed it to the (sloppy) racetrack. But I didn't know, because I didn't have any comparison. Are we as good as Sunday Silence, or is he two or three lengths better than us? Then we ran in the Preakness and got beat a nose, and I knew we were comparable to him. I think if things go right, next Saturday I think you'll see a different horse than we saw two weeks ago."

For many years it has been possible to rent equipment in Imlil. It has to be said, though, that much of the equipment is not exactly state of the art. The more serious the conditions or route attempted, the more important it is to bring your own equipment that you know and trust. Often, though, bringing a full set of winter gear is not an option; kit can be hired here – but it is important to realise that during the busy seasons there is a fairly heavy demand on limited resources, so don't count on that vital bit of kit being available.
A few places to check out:
This year a new facility has opened that deserves looking at. Dar Adrar is an auberge which has recently expanded to a new property. They have also started a kit shop in town, just above the tourist 'bazars' that sells and rents equipment.
Owner: Mohamed Aztat
Phone No: 068 760165
Web Site: www.daradrar.com/equipment
Email: [email protected]
Has been around the last couple of seasons and has a good selection of new kit for sale as well as hire kit.

One day, my little guy will get too big *sniff, sniff* for his nursery and we'll have to send him off to the guest room. While this is not happening anytime soon, the guest bedroom does need a dresser for our guests. I figured that I might as well plan ahead and get a dresser that will eventually be for my son to use. Keeping with the nautical theme that we used for his first birthday party, I've decided to hack an Ikea Tarva dresser to match this someday, nautical-themed, kid's bedroom.
Now, there are A LOT of beautiful Tarva updates all over the internet and I decided that the "framed" drawer was my favorite update. This very simple dresser looks much more put together when the drawers have that small update. This project was a big project for me, as I'm not familiar with painting furniture. Sanding, priming, sanding, painting, waiting... I'm just not that into it yet. Buuuut, I figured I'd go out of my comfort zone to see what I could do.
I figured that it would be easier to frame and paint the drawers before assembling the dresser, so that's where I started. During my online research of painting Tarva's pine wood, some people came across problems with the knots still leaking a bit of sap through the paint. My favorite (former) DIY bloggers, YHL, presented a solution to this minor problem.
First, cover knots with wood filler, let dry, sand, then paint a thin coat of wood glue on top. This should help seal those knots and keep them from seeping. They also noted that you could probably skip that step and use a shellac-based primer instead, but apparently there are more fumes, so I decided to do the filler/glue route as well.
While the filler and glue dried, I cut my furring strips with a hand miter saw that my neighbor let me borrow. This little machine is pretty darn cool and VERY easy to use. This was my first time cutting wood for a project, so using it wasn't intimidating like a big, electric miter saw could be. As well experienced carpenters say, measure twice and cut once !
Then I sanded the corners and used liquid nails to attach the frame to the front of the drawer. I used clamps, weights, and books to keep it together and weigh it down.
I filled in the corner cracks with wood filler.
Then it was time to prime and paint. I used Benjamin Moore Aura Paint Patriot Blue, Semi-gloss. (After the fact, I don't think the semi-gloss was the way to go. I'm not sure of the best finish to use, but the semi-gloss sometimes sticks and then peels a bit.)
Once everything was painted and dry, I put together the dresser...this was the WORST part. I do remember thinking this was the hardest IKEA piece to put together.
I wanted different handles for the dresser, so I purchased some sleek thin ones from Lowe's, but I did use the original knobs for the top drawer (I also stained those with the walnut stain).
I also wanted to switch up the legs for this piece as well and found a nice alternative to the plain rectangular ones that came with it:
I purchased these legs in 6" height to give the dresser a different look. I stained them to match the top of the dresser.
AND, I forgot to order the leg plates when I ordered the legs. Luckily, Lowes had the exact ones from Waddell that I needed. And, in the search for the leg plates, I found that Lowe's carries the legs as well...wish I'd known that before I paid for shipping!
Annnd...since the legs were not compatible with the dresser, I needed to attach a piece of wood to the bottom of the dresser to make a base for the leg plates to screw into.
I went to Home Depot to the lumber area and a nice man helped me find a piece of 1/2 inch thick pine wood. He brought me to the scrap area and cut a piece that measured 28 1/2 x 14 inches. Then, he just gave it to me ! $0 ! I don't know if that is always the case...maybe they had a lot of extra scrap...or maybe I was just looking pretty sweet that night ;)
For both the top of the dresser and the bottom flat piece, I put two coats of dark walnut stain and one coat of polystain.
After attaching the piece of wood with the leg screws and an extra five screws, the dresser was ready to stand up !
I love how it turned out ! I probably won't be painting any furniture any time soon, but at least I can say I've tried it!
Any new IKEA hacks from you guys?
Now you can Do It Yourself, Too !

The Tweet and Lowdown:
The core that led New England to four MLS Cup finals in the '00s is mostly gone, replaced by a young, speedy generation. Will it work?
Setting the Scene:
After nearly a decade as one of MLS's powerhouse sides, the New England Revolution are no longer fearsome. The 2009 season finally showed that head coach Steve Nicol's unique brand of football "Taoism" could not last forever. The consistency and team core that had buttressed the club's recent success were suddenly replaced with ups-and-downs and a sometimes-disjointed influx of new faces.
The key problems were injuries, specifically to captain Steve Ralston, goalkeeper Matt Reis and to goal machine Taylor Twellman. Ralston missed 10 games, Reis missed six and Twellman was limited to only two appearances. Zimbabwean Kheli Dube did his best to pick up the slack, notching eight goals, but the Revolution still finished with the second-lowest goal total in the league.
Not that Shalrie Joseph noticed. The big Grenadian had his best season ever, marshalling the midfield, scoring eight goals and adding 8 assists. And rookie defenders Darrius Barnes and Kevin Alston stepped right into starting roles.
But it was never going to be enough. The talent drain of the likes of Clint Dempsey, Andy Dorman, and Michael Parkhurst in recent years finally took its toll. The Revs snuck into the playoffs on the last day of the regular season and fell 3-0 on aggregate to nemesis Chicago Fire in the first round.
Key Changes:
Players in: Preston Burpo (Colorado Rapids), Cory Gibbs (Colorado Rapids), Joseph Niouky (Port Autonome), Zach Schilawski (Wake Forest), Seth Sinovic (Creighton),
Players Out: Jeff Larentowicz (Colorado Rapids), Wells Thompson (Colorado Rapids), Steve Ralston (AC St. Louis), Chris Albright (New York Red Bulls), Brad Knighton (Philadelphia Union), Jay Heaps (retired)
Star Attraction: Shalrie Joseph
Depending on your taste, Joseph is either a very, very good midfield general or the best player in MLS. Tall, skillful, tough and possessed of the character found only in great leaders, the 31-year-old Grenadian international sometimes seems to will his side to fight for a result. In short, he is worth more than the price of admission.
Following the acrimonious off-season departure of Steve Ralston, Joseph assumes the Revs' captaincy in 2010. Revs fans take solace in this solution, though they hope he won't have to carry the scoring burden again this year.
Unsung Hero: Darrius Barnes
Statline: Barnes was the only player to play every minute of every match. As a rookie. And while his backline partner Kevin Alston got a call-up to the national team, it was Barnes who held the defense together for most of the season. Comparisons to his predecessor, Parkhurst, seem to arrive daily.
Fatigue saw Barnes's play flag toward the end. But with a full season under his belt and the addition of experienced defender Cory Gibbs, Barnes should again be the ironman in the backline.
Ready for Primetime: Kenny Mansally
Three years after arriving from Gambia, Mansally still ripples with potential. His raw power and hard ambition are evident every time he takes the field.
Now is the time for the 21-year-old to turn that potential energy into kinetic output. Lacking a true position—left mid or second striker?—has hurt him, but just on pure talent he should have more to his name than four goals in 43 career appearances.
Storylines to Watch:
With the veteran exodus over the past two years, the Revolution are now one of the youngest—and fastest—sides in MLS. Established youngsters like Mansally, Barnes, Alston and Sainey Nyassi are joined this year by impressive rookie Zach Schilawski. Youth can be effective, but in MLS it has rarely led to any hardware.
For the better part of the last ten years, Matt Reis has been MLS' most consistent goalkeepers. But 2009 saw the 12-year veteran struggle with injuries and on-field mishaps. His injury and the loss of Brad Knighton in the expansion draft required the Revs to acquire Preston Burpo from Colorado, in exchange for midfielder Jeff Larentowicz. Once Reis is healthy, will there be a goalkeeper controversy at Gillette Stadium?
The Twellman Watch will begin on day one. Will he last the whole season? Will he still have the scoring touch?
What He Said:
"Sometimes youth is courageous. They don't think about the problems, they just want to play."
—Revolution coach Steve Nicol, speaking to Comcast SportsNet
If everything goes right:
To say the least, the 2010 Revolution will be interesting. The reality is they are not quite ready to contend for any trophies, but at the same time they won't be an easy three points for anyone. The presence of Joseph alone makes them a formidable challenge, and if Twellman is healthy and back to his old nasty self, Nicol's lads could cause some havoc down the stretch.
Prediction for 2010 finish: 4th in the East

R.I.P. Tony Hussain Hinde, May 27,2008 - As reported in the Maldivian newspaper 'Dhivehi Observer' (May 31,08 edition), Tony Hussain Hinde died on Tuesday afternoon in a freak accident while surfing Pasta Point @ Male' atoll. Unconfirmed reports from witnesses at the scene stated that he fell at the end of a wave ride, face down landing on his belly, apparently he'd suffered a fatal cardiac event. Funeral services are to be held next Tuesday, may God rest his soul.
Now I don't know about the rest of you travelling surfers out there; but it sounds to me like surfing Pasta's is back on the menu boys...

paying to surf it? - Is it true that you have to pay to surf pasta point even if you are staying at Dhonveli (tari village) beach resort? I was all set to book 6/7 nights there after my boat trip for 95USD/pp per night when I found that on the net. If true and I hadn't found out beforehand what could they do to stop a paying guest? I mean you can paddle 700 meters and surf sultans but you can't surf pasta point? what about 4 seasons guests? If i paid that dosh out I'd be pretty pissed if some punk is sitting there on the beach asking if you booked through atoll travel
