Be Prepared: Emergency Car Kit {20 Must-Haves}
Roadside Emergency Kits
Prepackaged Roadside Emergency Kits vary greatly in price and comprehensiveness. You can usually find one that fits your budget and your needs though.
Here are some prepackaged car emergency kits to consider:
- Urban Road Warrior Emergency Preparedness Auto Survival Kit
- Winter Emergency Car Kit – Road Warrior
- Bridgestone and Travel Road Safety Kit with Carry Case
- AAA 73-Piece Premium Excursion Road Kit
- AAA 70-Piece Explorer Road Assistance Kit
- AAA 42-Piece Emergency Road Assistance Kit
- Wilmar Deluxe Roadside Assistance Kit
You might be able to save some money by assembling your own car emergency kit! And even if you purchase a prepackaged kit, you will probably want to beef it up with some additional items. First, you want to make sure you have the basic essentials such as water, food, and warmth.
20 Things You Need in an Emergency Car Kit:
1. Water. Drinkable water is important. Water is also useful for washing wounds and for sanitation. Water can be helpful if your car overheats. Because of the limited space in cars, the water must be stored in small packages.
2. Food. It is difficult to keep food in your car because it is exposed to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. Protein bars or high calorie food bars or MRE bars are a good choices.
3. Warmth. There are several options: 6 to 20 hour warm packs, wool blankets, emergency bags, and emergency blankets. Emergency blankets and bags are lightweight, compact and inexpensive.
4. Charged cell phone. This item will probably be with you anyway, but it may make the difference between getting help fast or not. Make sure your phone is charged every time you get into your car and it doesn't hurt to keep a phone charger in your car too.
5. First-aid kit. As well as an assortment of Band-Aids, it should include adhesive tape, gauze pads, pain reliever, antiseptic wipes, antiseptic cream or ointment, and anything particular to you or your family. You may also want to include tissues, toilet paper, safety pins and ace bandages.
6. Fire Extinguisher. It should be rated for Class B and Class C fires by the NFPA. Class B fires are those that involve flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and kerosene. Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment such as switches, panel boxes and batteries.
7. Tire gauge. Use the tire gauge to periodically check the air pressure in your spare tire. A lot of people ignore it until they have a flat, and then discover the spare is flat too.
8. Tire sealant. A quick, inexpensive way to repair many flats without having to change the tire.
9. Jumper cables. They should be at least 10 feet in length and coated with at least 8-gauge rubber. Depending on your circumstances, you might also want to consider a portable Jump Starter. My husband has a portable Jump Starter with Built-in Air Compressor that he keeps in his truck.
10. Flashlight. Be sure to keep charged batteries in the flashlight too. The Innovative LED Lights have a much higher battery life than conventional flashlights. It is best if you can include a waterproof light. Other lights that could be useful in your auto emergency kit are light sticks, emergency candles with a wide base and waterproof matches.
11. Gloves.
12. Rags.
13. Duct tape. Handy for all sorts of situations! Carry at least 10 feet of it.
14. Tow strap or tow rope. It should be strong enough to tow 6,000 pounds.
15. Multi-purpose tool. A multi-purpose knife provides many different tools for you to work with in a time of need. A Samurai survival tool provides a hatchet, hammer, and pry tool all-in-one. You might also consider an Escape tool, which has a seat belt cutter and window breaker.
16. Reflective warning triangles. While many prepackaged emergency kits contain one warning triangle, it is suggested that you have 3 that are placed 50 feet apart to warn oncoming traffic.
17. Rain poncho. Even an inexpensive plastic poncho is better than nothing when changing a tire in the pouring rain.
18. Cat litter. It works as well as sand beneath the tires for traction and weighs less.
20. Shovel. A compact shovel may come in handy if you get stuck in the snow or mud.
Make sure that the tools that came with your car are in place too, like the car jack!
Thanks for the ideas, Emergency Essentials and Bankrate.
What do you think? What else would you add?
Totally just pinned this, thanks!
Along with the gloves, a knit hat.
A small gas can in case you run out and have to go pick some up. Even if it just holds a gallon, in most cases that will be enough to put in your tank and make it to a gas station.
Somebody once told me to periodically check to make sure your spare tire is where you think it should be. Many spares are now under the car and because they are full sized, clever thieves out to save some money on their own tires have been k own to jack other spares.
I keep a couple of bottles of gas additive, found at dollar tree. In a pinch if you run out, they can get you 5-10 miles down the road to a station.

2005 R1200RT no fuel strip failure yet, hope I didn't just jinx myself!
Well my forth fuel strip died today, Nov. 29, 2017 just four and one-half months after it was replaced. Going for my fifth but that will be the last one. Next time it is trading the bike for a Honda ST 1300.

07 R1200GS replaced once still acts up a bit
Sixth failure, in today for the seventh new strip. First one failed at 600 miles. Sixth failed around 10800.
I only have two years left on the free warranty. Definitely will sell before the new one fails. Will not be doing BMW again if they dont come out with one that works properly before I sell it.
Between the stupid fuel strip and returning to the dealer every year to reset the computer for $30 plus tax, Im sick of BMW. Seriously considering a Honda adventure bike.

'12 R1200R - I love this bike!
New to forums. Bought 2008 R1200 GS bike used with 11K. Fuel gauge quit at 35K. No warranty. Odometer and trip reset works and I use trip mileage track my fuel usage for fill ups. Never considered taking it to dealer to get it fixed. Now at 53k. Now if I can find a forum to tell me why my low beam headlight quit working. I just wired a toggle switch for 12v power straight to the low beam lamp terminal. Relay good, fuse good.
Yeah, aggravating issue
Not to hijack the fuel strip thread, but you cannot draw more current from the low beam circuit. The CANBUS wiring has limits.You can trigger a relay from the low beam, but not a load.
And, the engine needs to be running to trigger the low beam as well.

As Steve mentioned, powering electrical accesories on a CANBus equipped bike is a challenge. Your options are to power things with a fused wire directly from the battery, from a fuse block that you install or with a device called a Hex ezCAN that integrates accessories into the CANBus. I am not certain that the ezCAN is available for your model/year. Good luck and welcome.

Mine will show fuel remaining, and then you run out. As much as it sucks, you have to start using the trip meter. I could never trust mine again.

If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.
Well this Saturday I get my Sixth fuel strip. The fifth one was replaced less than two months ago. At that time the dealer said he replaced one for another customer and before the guy got home, the strip was dead.
I so look forward to another four hours of time wasted to get this replaced. One hour each direction and two hours to have it fixed. Not my favorite way to spend a Saturday. Reminds me of an International Scout my Dad had. It was in the shop so much that we used to refer to the shop as its second home.

Most healthcare organizations would rather talk about patients than administration any day of the week. Unfortunately, those seemingly small and insignificant back office tasks need to be discussed now and then, to make sure your practice continues to run smoothly. Thanks to software solutions, many of these tasks are easier than ever to manage. However, the question that many find themselves asking is: does my practice actually need certain types of software? For example, do you really need medical accounting software?
What is Medical Accounting Software?
First of all, let's quickly define what exactly medical accounting software is. Also known as medical billing software, it's a system that manages all of the finances that flow through your practice. These include patient accounts, collections and copays. Additionally, it handles accounts payable, accounts receivable and general ledger features. Medical accounting software also helps manage the often complex process of handling claims with insurance providers and Medicare/Medicaid.
The system also manages and tracks your patient information. Unlike EHR software and EMR software, however, it doesn't track their medical histories, but rather their billing information. This gives you a complete record for each patient. You can use that record to identify patients that have been slow to pay up, or just check to see if you sent them the bill for a certain appointment or service.
How to Assess Whether You Need Medical Accounting Software
If you use money to run your practice, you need medical accounting software. Ok, it may not be that black and white, but the majority of medical practices can benefit from some form of medical accounting software. That said, there are, of course, some exceptions. Here are some questions to ask yourself in order to assess whether or not your practice needs medical accounting software:
Do You Use Medical Practice Management Software?
Medical practice management software (sometimes shortened to practice management, MPM or PM software) is a versatile back office solution for healthcare organizations. Among other capabilities, it offers appointment scheduling software, document management, information management, revenue cycle management and a patient portal. Oh, and one other important feature: billing and coding.
If practice management software already plays a critical role in your medical office, then medical accounting software is probably unnecessary. The most important features of a medical accounting software are included in the billing and coding features of practice management, specifically the management of insurance claims and monitoring cash flow. So if your practice already deploys practice management, you don't have to double up with medical accounting software.
How Big is Your Practice?
Large healthcare organizations pretty much have to use either medical accounting software or medical billing services (we'll leave the discussion of which of those two is best to another article). The sheer volume of patients that walk through their doors make simple Excel spreadsheets unmanageable.
Small practices, on the other hand, might find an alternative is the best option. Depending on how your practice manages the back office, you might find that medical billing services or hiring a staff member to handle billing is more cost effective than medical accounting software. That said, the problem with using medical billing services is that they're not always willing to work with small practices, since they don't generate as much revenue as larger ones. This aside, however, a smaller volume of patients naturally makes billing management much easier, so manually doing so is much more feasible for small practices.
Does or Will Your Practice Operate in a Direct Primary Care Model?
A new trend has been popping up in several practices around the country: discarding the relationship with insurance providers altogether. These practices, known as direct primary care practices, collect monthly or annual fees from their patients instead of dealing with insurance claims. This trend popped up as a result of wanting to improve patient care, since many practices felt like they worked for the insurance companies instead of their patients.
If your practice operates under this model, if you're currently transitioning to this model or if the above paragraph has convinced you to adopt this model, then you may not have much of a need for medical accounting software. One of the biggest advantages of this software is that it helps manage the complicated insurance claim process. However, managing what amounts to a subscription service for the direct primary care model is much easier.
Of course, automated patient billing is easier than doing so manually, so direct primary care practices can still benefit from using medical accounting software. But without the plethora of insurance hurdles to deal with, it's not nearly as much of a necessity.
The Bottom Line
At the end of the day, every practice, large or small, can benefit from using medical accounting software. The benefits of automation and reduced errors are invaluable to the practices that use them. However, based on how your particular practice operates, it may find that other options are better. You may find that other methods are more cost effective, or you may already have these functions covered. No matter what the case may be, just make sure to choose the options that's best for your practice based on your operational needs.

Test DriverThis Windows test driver 32 or 64 bits installs the UPDD software to allow the capture of touch data in a defined pattern such that we can use the captured data to cross reference with existing controller configurations or add a definition to support the controller. Installation instructions are here. By default the serial device is configured for communication interface; 9600 baud rate, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bits (9600,N,8,1). Most serial devices operate at this configuration but this can be changed in the driver control program (UPDD Console, Hardware, Connected to option) to adjust as required to match the actual configuration of the serial device.
Test drivers are also available for Linux and Mac OS X if required.
Once installed follow the data capture instructions here. At the bottom of the document it gives an example of the captured log file and what constitutes sensible touch data and what to do if no data or 'rubbish' data is captured.

The Weatherbirds
Background Information
A few years ago, my agent told me she was having trouble finding an engaging children's book about the weather. When I looked into this for myself, I noticed that many of the books had a tendency to rely on the dramatic impact of weather photos and illustrations while being a bit hazy on what actually caused the amazing looking phenomena. I could sympathize with the trouble these writers must have had in trying to make the subject comprehensible. The physics of weather is difficult to explain without getting into a quagmire of physical principles. For instance, the formation of rainbows are only fully understood if one has an understanding of refraction, reflection, the visual spectrum of sunlight, parallax, and a skilled mind at thinking in three-dimensions.
At the time, I was interested in narrative science books, so I had a stab at doing one about the weather. Although I taught physics for five years, and gone on to illustrate non fiction books, I hadn't actually written children's non-fiction before. I was aware of the risk I ran that my science story could be dismissed as sugar coating on a science education pill, so I made sure the story pulled its weight. I remembered being impressed with Galileo's Dialogue of the Two Chief World Systems, Ptolemaic and Copernican, an imaginary debate between Salviati, the forward-thinking Copernican, and Simplicio, the Ptolemaic. In between them stood Sagredo, an open-minded intelligent layman. The work was written in popular Italian rather than scholarly Latin in order that his ideas would be accessible to the public. (It had the unfortunate effect of insulting the Pope--he reckoned Simplicio was an insulting caricature of himself which landed Galileo in a heap of trouble with the church.)
The Weatherbirds features Professor Stork (my 'Salviati') and Elmer the Dodo (my 'Simplicio') debating the relative merits of scientific vs. superstitious explanations for the weather. The 'Sagredo' in between these two is the young orphan Sparrow, the protagonist, who, along with Captain Goose and Ariel the poetic Parrot, travel around the world in Stork's home-made airship. Under the guidance of Stork, Sparrow eventually takes her place as the airship's Weatherbird. Stork was losely inspired by my high school biology teacher, Laura Krich, who I finally met up with again here in Oxford in 2002 and was able to give her a copy of the book in person.
I included other details in the story that I hoped would support some of the key weather science concepts. The birds travel in a hot air balloon in the story which provides a demonstration of one of the main principles of meteorology, that of hot air's tendency to rise above cold air. The constraints of geography, season, conceptual hierarchy, drama, and number of pages, all played their part in shaping the story. (The story takes place only within the Northern and Western Hemisphere--blame the prevailing winds for that!). Completing The Weatherbirds felt like finally solving a difficult matrix algebra problem.
The book is dedicated to my father, Dr. Edmond M. Dewan, an atmospheric physicist for the US government. He introduced me to the newest theory on thunderstorms, championed by the late Bernard Vonnegut. The new theory, which appears in The Weatherbirds, is currently gaining favour within the scientific community although it is still cutting edge and controversial. Some of the experimental evidence to back the theory was gathered by a scientist friend of my father's who actually flew up into a thunderstorm sitting in a child's swing seat hung beneath a weather balloon. It's no coincidence that the birds end up doing the same.
My hope is that The Weatherbirds has the right balance of drama, information, and pathos to inspire kids and teachers. I hope one such person will be Laura Krich, my former science teacher and the model for Professor Stork. She still teaches science in the USA, and I've already sent her The Weatherbirds. I do hope she doesn't mind being caricatured as a stork. Even if she did, I don't suppose I'd get into as much trouble as Galileo.

Atlanta Fraud Attorney
As a criminal defense lawyer, I have handled all types of complex fraud cases since I began to practice law in 1992. Since then, fraud has become more complex. It is important to have a defense attorney who understands the legal and technological issues involved in fraud and other white collar cases, including those arising from search and seizure and other Fourth Amendment concerns.
If you have been charged with any type of fraud offense, contact a Georgia lawyer with the knowledge and experience to defend you zealously against the charges. Call Richard A. Grossman, Trial Attorney, at (678) 358-6555.
Experienced fraud defense attorney
I have zealously defended clients in state and federal fraud cases such as:
- Credit card fraud
- Internet fraud
- Computer fraud
- Mortgage fraud
- Real estate fraud
- Mail fraud
- Check fraud
- Insurance fraud
- Bank fraud
- Investment fraud
- Identity theft
- Forgery
- Counterfeiting
- Health care fraud
- Wire fraud
- Embezzlement
Proven background in federal courtroom defense
Most serious fraud charges are handled at the federal level. Many attorneys have experience in county and state courts but not in federal court. I bring considerable federal court experience to the table; it has benefited my clients over the years when charged with federal crimes such as money laundering, bank fraud, credit card scams and other federal fraud offenses.
The federal government is a formidable opponent
Fraud involving any industry regulated by the federal government can be charged in federal court. I recognize the prosecutorial strategies that the federal government mounts. Federal prosecutors gather a vast amount of evidence to establish their case before they bring a criminal matter to court. With computer-related crimes and identity theft receiving great attention in the media, they put forth an extra effort to prosecute those cases. I have the knowledge and experience to match the government and seek the best resolution possible for clients facing a federal fraud charge.

7 Days at the Hot Corner
by Terry Trueman
Published by HarperTempest / HarperCollins, 2007
150 pages
ISBN: trade 0060574941
Ages 12 and older
A surprising sports novel takes an in-depth look at homophobia from the point of view of a straight teenage boy. Scott, a high school senior, plays third base (the hot corner) for his unbeaten team. Scott lives and breathes baseball, and each chapter begins and ends with his own personal baseball philosophy. The story unfolds during the week leading up to the championship game. On Day 1, Scott is getting an HIV test. His best friend, Travis, recently came out to him, and all Scott can think about is a recent incident when Travis was hurt and Scott got his blood all over his hands. Travis is now living with Scotts family because his own parents kicked him out, but the relationship between them in strained. Scott is not only terrified he might have AIDS, hes worried that other kids at his school will find out that Travis is gay and think that he is, too. And hes also angrywhy did Travis keep it a secret from him for so long? Travis points out that Scotts reactionparanoia, ungrounded fear, distancing himself from their friendshipis precisely why he didnt tell Scott before. Scotts transformation, by weeks end, may seem to come unrealistically fast, but he has three wonderful adult role models who help to guide his thinking: each of his parents, who are divorced, and a teacher who addresses homophobia in his classroom by folding it into a discussion of the Holocaust. This accessible, easy-to-read novel deals with substantial issues while leaving room for readers to think, discuss, and draw their own conclusions © Cooperative Children's Book Center

BBC Charter Renewal May 2016
Thank you for contacting me regarding the BBC and the consultation on BBC Charter Review.
I believe the BBC does need reform and I accept that changes are needed to the way it is governed. However, I believe the BBC is the cornerstone of the UK's creative industries and one of our greatest cultural institutions. I was therefore very concerned by reports soon after the election that the Government intends to go to war with the BBC. The recent actions taken by the Government certainly indicate that the BBC is at real risk.
I believe the investment and scope of the BBC must be maintained and the BBC must continue to be a great universal broadcaster that continues to inform, educate and entertain - and provide something for everyone.
The Government has confirmed that the BBC will take on the cost of free TV licences for over-75s. I am concerned these changes will lead to cuts in jobs, services and quality. It is also disappointing the Government has stated that the licence fee level is 'not settled'. I believe the Government must not renege on the licence fee agreement and the licence fee should remain for the full period of the next Charter with a CPI inflation rise as promised.
Other proposals being considered by the Government include narrowing the BBC's remit to stop it from making some of its most popular shows. I believe this would be a mistake and the Government should not try to prevent the BBC from making great entertainment programmes or force the BBC to reduce its news output.
As you may know, the Clementi Review into Governance and Regulation of the BBC has recommended replacing the BBC Trust with a unitary Board with a majority of non-executive directors, half of whom would be appointed by the Government. However, recent reports suggest that the Government plans to directly appoint most members of the new body. Both the Clementi report and the public consultation make clear that the independence of the BBC must be at the heart of its future. I therefore believe that the new unitary board must be underpinned by independent appointment processes, including for its Chair.
I believe the Government's actions are an assault on the principle of public service broadcasting. I am also concerned the Government wants to shorten the Charter period to exert more political influence. This must be fought all the way because it is crucial the BBC remains independent of Government. I believe the Government's attempts to cut down the BBC are not what the public wants, nor are they in the best interests of the country as they would jeopardise the future success of the UK creative industries and the wider economy.
The Government says it will take the consultation responses into account and bring forward proposals for BBC Charter Review in a White Paper this May. I welcome the fact that the Government is finally going to publish its White Paper and I await its proposals for the next stage of Charter Review. I can assure you I will oppose any attempts by the Government to dismantle or downgrade the BBC.
Thank you once again for contacting me and for sharing your views. I will continue to do all I can to save the BBC.

I've decided to take the plunge and do the temperature blanket this year. Last year my best friend and I decided to do one together. I got halfway through January and gave up. I believe she finished hers. If I bug her enough I might be able to get a photo of it!
Honestly, I wasn't even planning on doing one this year at all. It was the furthest thing from my mind! That is, until I saw a post on The Crochet Crowd detailing this blanket and how much fun it would be. I have a bad habit of thinking, "well, if The Crochet Crowd is doing it then I can too!". So now, in the time span of 10 minutes, I've committed myself to working on this project.
If you don't know what a temperature blanket is, here's a quote from The Crochet Crowd explaining it (I would explain it myself but their explanation is just so perfect):
"If you have never heard of a Temperature Afghan, it's pretty straight forward. You commit to crocheting 1 – 3 rows / rounds of your work using the temperature gauge as your colour choice each day. So you can either check your temperature outside of your home or refer to the weather network each day and crochet accordingly. If you think you are not going to crochet for a day, just take the temperature and write it down so when you pick up your project, you have that information handy.
Once you know the temperature, look at your gauge and crochet the colour that falls within the temperature readings.
The trick is not to cheat the system by falsifying a temperature because you think the colour shouldn't go where it does. The whole point is capturing the temperature as it happens making the afghan a true representation of the season you are crocheting in.
PSST… if you cannot start on the first of the month, you can start anytime, when you are done, no one is really going to know if you started on a the 1st of the month or had to delay it." – The Crochet Crowd, 2016
The Crochet Crowd also has a downloadable/printable temperature gauge that you can use as a guide to determine your colours/temperature ranges. Theirs won't work for me because it doesn't get hotter than maybe 30 degrees Celsius here (86 degrees Fahrenheit). So I've decided to change the ranges and colours as follows:
31 to 40° – Red (this is really rare)
21 to 30° – Orange
11 to 20° – Yellow
1 to 10° – Green
0 to -10° – Blue
-11 to -20° – Purple
– 21 to -30° – Dark Purple
-31 -40° and below – White (I am counting windchill in this because we get it a lot)
This year is also a rare opportunity because it's the leap year! So instead of 365 rows (if you do one at a time), you will have 366!
I will be checking the temperature at the same time every day (today I checked it at 1:30pm) and I will post an update every Friday on how my blanket is coming along. I will be using a pattern called "Spectrum Afghan" by Yarnspirations.
I will probably post something later day, or tomorrow, with some tips and tricks I've discovered from attempting the project last year.
If you want to read more about this project, please check out the original post on The Crochet Crowd.
Let me know if you, too, will be working on this project with me! I would love to see all the wonderful temperature blankets from all the different regions of the world!

Tour Instructions: One click to hide/show info, double click to enter/exit full screen mode & you can pinch to zoom.
The second largest city in the United States, this place is home to virtually all the big time movie stars. Full of wannabe actors, musicians and surfers alike. It's a place you're either gonna love or hate. Los Angeles has many attractions to keep you busy, I wish I had some more time here to see them all, but I've picked out the best of what I did see.
Click here for more Tiny Planets
L.A. is the entertainment capital of the world, a cultural mecca boasting more than 100 museums, and a paradise of idyllic weather. It is the only city in North America to have hosted the Summer Olympics twice. Downtown L.A. is the largest government center outside of Washington, D.C. Los Angeles has the only remaining wooden lighthouse in the state (located in San Pedro's Fermin Park) and the largest historical theater district on the National Register of Historic Places (located Downtown on Broadway). The Hollywood Walk of Fame comprises more than 2,600 five-pointed terrazzo and brass stars embedded in the sidewalks along 15 blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street
I'd recommend looking into Airbnb for this one. We rented an entire 4 bedroom house in Beverly Grove with a driveway. Between 3 of us, it worked out to be just over $50 a night each. If you're on your own, then finding a shared room on airbnb should start from $20 a night. There are a couple hostels around you could try, US Hostel Hollywood, Banana Bungalow both looked good, but sometimes you just want that little luxury of a room to yourself.
- Get $30 (£25) off your first Airbnb trip of $70 (£55) or more click here.
Everything in L.A is spread out, so I would suggest the best way to explore it and take in the sights is by car. Even though traffic can suck often, in your own car you can use the side streets to get as close to wherever as you can, park up and then walk the rest of the way. Best just to avoid peak times 07:00-09:00 & 17:30-19:30 on weekdays. The public transport is there, but its not great. Metro only stops in certain places and busses get stuck in all the traffic and can take forever to get anywhere. Failing that Uber and Lyft are both around.
- Uber Get $5 (£3) credit for your first ride here.
- Disney Adventure Park
- Hike around Griffith Park.
- Learn about the cosmos and marvel at the views of L.A at Griffith Observatory.
- Visit the lakes to get a great view of the Hollywood Sign.
- Hiking to the Hollywood sign is the only way to get up close.
- Check out the view from the Hollywood Bowl Overlook. Fingers crossed it won't be raining like it was when I was there!
- Find the marble slab of your favourite star on Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame
- Grauman's Chinese Theatre
- Day or night, The Grove always has something going on and places to eat, drink and shop.
- Long Beach
- Museum of Death
- Pacific Wheel
- Santa Monica Pier (& Beach).
- The Skyslide, 14 metres long and 300 metres high, between the 69th and 70th floors of the US Bank Tower.
- Venice Beach (Boardwalk) So many street acts and a great place to sit & watch the world go by.
- Venice Canals, walk around a little piece of Italy.
- San Andreas Fault
- Stroll down the Sunset Strip, if you want to see a celeb then this is your best bet. It'll come at a price though, so you may not want to stay for too long and parking is insanely difficult to find.
- Rodeo Drive is the epicentre of luxury and worth the stroll around, but don't stay long. It will seriously put a dent in your wallet.
- Take a trolley tour or just drive around Beverly Hills and check out some of the properties of the famous.
- Universal Studios
- Warner Brothers Studio (Tour best on weekends, filming on weekdays, restricted)
- Head to Nick's Cafe for an unmissable authentic American style diner, open since 1948 it's a favourite with the L.A.P.D. for breakfast (cash only)
- Huckleberry Cafe & Bakery Damn good breakfast here. Its exceptionally busy though, so you may have to wait for a table. It's well worth it.
- If you want a good laugh head to The Comedy Store
- The place where it all began, Whisky a Go Go. The majority of the worlds best bands started out here.
- If you like your Rock and Metal music then the Viper Room is the place to be.
- Umami Burger. I know its a burger joint, but this was my first taste of Umami and i could not fault it. These burgers are like no other.
- Big Dean's Oceanfront Cafe 1902.
- Ercoles Bar hasn't changed since 1927.
- Harvelle's Blues Club, Oldest live music venue 1931.
- Cook your own. Eating out can get expensive, so if you've got yourself an airbnb, use the house's kitchen.
- If you're really feeling lazy then Ubereats will deliver virtually any restaurant takeaway straight to your door.
- Everything in L.A is spread out, so I would suggest to rent a car.

(50:19, 'Bonobo's Ark')
TRACK LIST: 1. 0 I (t) A 5:11 2. Masta Builda 6:55 3. Too Many Answers 7:06 4. Madamme 0 3:30 5. I Don't I Can't 6:10 6. F-Poem 4:11 7. It Has Just Begun 5:09 8. Da-I-Na-Ma-I-To/Deta 12:07 LINEUP: Yumi Hara – piano; vocals Chris Cutler (ex-Henry Cow) – drums Daevid Allen (ex-Gong) – guitars; vocals
Prolusion. The UK based project YOU ME & US is one of multiple projects involving composer and musician Yumi (hence 'You Me' in the outfit's name) Hara, a UK based artist who has been rather active recording, performing and releasing material in the last decade or thereabouts. "Poesy at Play" is a live album featuring material performed at various locations in Japan on a tour in 2013, and is also one of the last recordings made by the late Daevid Allen.
Analysis. For a progressive rock-oriented crowd, this production will come across as one languishing towards the outer edges of the progressive rock universe, at least for the greater majority of those people. The musicians involved do have quite the pedigree in progressive rock circles obviously, but having a background in a style of music doesn't always mean that the musicians will stay within that comfort zone. As such, one might describe this production as one that will challenge musicians and fans alike to step outside of that field. As one would expect, Allen does add quite a few psychedelic textures to the material here. Not always, and not on all occasions, and rarely completely throughout the entire length of a song, but odd, floating textures with a clear psychedelic presence are indeed an often encountered presence on the album. Yumi Hara and Chris Cutler have a stronger tendency to bring in elements with a closer orientation towards jazz and avant-garde music, and the description "psychedelic jazz" popped into my mind here and there throughout the album. I might add that the jazz in question appears to be improvised much more than planned, and more often than not of what I'd describe as a free form nature at that. Allen tags along on a few such excursions too, and some of the passages at hand here are safely inside the realm of the highly challenging and chaotic due to that. On quite a few of these tracks words rather than music are in the limelight however. The album is called "Poesy at Play" for a reason, and on the cuts where this is a dominant or otherwise visible presence my perception is that this aspect does have something of a stunt poetry vibe to it. If not in the actual words spoken then at least in the phrasing, tone of voice and pronunciation. The word improvised is again relevant to the general context. The musicians involved in this project are proven quality artists, and the general quality of this production is on a high level. Just how appealing or not this material is will be a subjective point of view, where what may or may not be improvised and free form oriented escapades will most likely have a lot to say in the audience that finds this album to be one to seek out. On a personal note, I rather associate music of this kind with what you might encounter at some of the more noted art exhibitions.
Conclusion. You Me & Us is a project that, I suppose, has run its course, as Daevid Allen passed away not too many months after this CD was released. Those who desire to own everything he recorded should obviously seek this one out. Otherwise I'd suggest that those who like music described as a meeting of the minds between dark improvised psychedelia, poetry and free jazz should take note of the existence of this particular output.

Though Vandiya Devan was pondering about the sudden presence of the Vaishnavan, he welcomed him jocularly and said, "Vaishnavare! You will not believe me when I say that I thought about you just a few moments ago. And the next minute, you jumped into my room."
"My boy! You thought about me did you? But why do you want to think about a mere mortal like me. It would be more useful to you if you had thought of Shri Rama,"
"Vaishnavare! What a coincidence? I did think of Shri Rama at first. When I was coming here, I saw the temple tower of Rameshwaram. That's where, Shri Rama had worshipped Lord Shiva to cleanse himself of his sins for slaying Ravana,"
"Wait thambi! Wait,"
"I would rather wait sitting down, Swami. My legs are too tired… After I thought of Shri Rama, I was reminded of Lord Hanuman, his messenger who crossed the sea for him and the minute I thought of him, I see you jumping into my room. Did you perchance cross the seas with a single leap like Hanuman?"
"Thambi! How can you compare 'me' with greatest devotees of all, Shri Hanuman? Hanuman came to Elangai and slew the Rakshaha Prince Akshaya Kumar and scores of other ferocious beings while I can't get rid of a mere cat. See what that wily cat did to me, " he said showing his scratched arms and legs.
"Aha! This is very unfortunate indeed. But why did you have to fight with a cat of all things?"
"I didn't fight with it. The cat attacked me first,"
"How did that happen?"
"I came here searching for you. I hid from the soldiers and got inside this mansion through the window. Alas I stepped on the cat's tail and it swore vengeance on me. Thambi! One can fight the tiger but definitely not the cat,"
"Swami! I know why the cat attacked you,"
"When the same cat came to my room, it sat by my head and brushed its tail on me very lovingly. The only person that it has attacked is 'you' and that's because the cat is a 'Veera Saiva' so obviously it hates Veera Vaishnavars!"
"Oh! Is that so? Now why didn't I think of that? If I had known this, I would have used my staff to teach this 'Veera Saiva Cat' a good lesson,"
"It is a good thing that you have not brought your staff with you. Ever since I have come here, I have felt the blood of Veera Saivars on my veins. My dagger seems to be thirsting for the blood of Vaishnavars. But you once did a big favour for me, hence I am stifling the voice of this sword, for your sake,"
"Is that so? I don't remember doing any big favour for you,"
"You did. Do you remember, you told me about your sister, Pazhuvur Elaya Rani?"
"Yes, I did,"
"In Kadambur, when the veiled palanquin was coming along, didn't you show me the lady who was sitting inside it?"
"Yes I did, so what?"
"I saw the same palanquin going near Thanjavur and the palanquin bearers deliberately hit my horse. I sought justice from them and whom did I see inside?"
|Nandini's Veiled Palanquin
|Nandini Devi
"Who but Pazhuvur Elaya Rani, Nandini Devi,"
"Aha! You are indeed lucky. I tried to meet her on many occasions but was unsuccessful,"
"They say that Goddess of Luck comes on her own, in our lives,"
"What happened afterwards?"
"I mentioned your name and that you have sent her an important message,"
"My boy! I have met many people in my life but I am yet to meet another man who could lie so convincingly,"
"Vaishanavare! My ancestors were patrons of poets and bards. They loved poetry so much so that they have composed many on their own,"
"So what?"
"I have my ancestor's blood in my veins so that's why my imagination knows no bounds. But unfortunately people like you have never learned to appreciate it, hence you call it 'lie',"
"Good, now what happened next?"
"Nandini Devi heard my tale and then gave me her emblem ring and asked me to come to her palace inside the fort,"
"Did you go then?"
"Of course. I went immediately. I regaled the younger queen of Pazhuvur with many tales of my bravery and she gave me an important task to do,"
"And what would that be?"
"The treasures of Pandya Kingdom, their gem studded crown and the priceless haram that was given to them by God Indira are hidden somewhere here in Elangai. She has tasked me to find them for her. But I didn't realize that it would be so difficult a task,"
|Treasures of Pandya
"I have heard that Periya Pazhuvetarayar's treasury holds jewels that would weigh more than a thousand donkeys load. Apparently all those jewels are not enough for this Ellaya Rani. What did she promise you, if you complete her task successfully?"
"Nandini Devi has promised me seat of Thanjai's Fort Commander,"
"Thambi! If you become the Fort Commander of Thanjavur, will you allow me inside the Fort at anytime?"
"And how do you think, I will become the Fort Commander of Thanjavur when I am held captive here?" asked Vandiya Devan sorrowfully.
"Do you know why they have imprisoned you here?"
"I had brought the Pazhuvur emblem ring here, thinking that I could use it. That's why they have imprisoned me,"
"That was a big mistake Thambi! The Lord Commander of Chola army in Elangai is Kodumbalur Periya Vellar. Didn't you know about the feud that exists between these two clans?"
"I didn't know. That's how I made this mistake and now I don't know what to do?"
"Thambi! Do not despair. I have come to help you escape from this prison,"
"I had once asked you to aid me but you refused yet I have come here to help you. Come with me, we can leave this place now,"
"Vaishnavare! I think it would be wise for you to leave this place now,"
|Bloodthirsty Dagger
"I can hear my sword thirsting for the blood of a Vaishnavan!"
"If that is so, then you should unsheathe it and quench its thirst. I have enough blood in my body to satisfy your sword. Come now,"
"No. I will not come,"
"I want to sleep for a while. I haven't slept in many days as I travelled day and night by foot to reach here. I had thought that I would spend the entire day sleeping and that's why I threw that cat away,"
"Thambi! I can't believe that you are talking thus! Is this how you fulfill the task that Elaya Piratti gave you? Didn't you promise to her that you will not rest until you have handed this message to 'Ponniyin Selvar'?" asked Azhwarkadiyan and handed over the olai that Vandiya Devan had brought with him.
Vandiya Devan took the olai with care and kept it safely inside his waist cloth. He had been wondering about Azhwarkadiyan's motives right from the beginning and had guarded his mouth most carefully lest he gave away some information. His mistrust vanished the minute, Azhwarkadiyan gave him the olai.
"How did you get this Olai?" he asked
"Commander Vikramakesari, gave it to me. He also gave me your Pazhuvur emblem ring. You have his permission to leave whenever you want,"
"Vaishnavare! I thank you most sincerely for this help,"
"Keep your thanks safely inside your heart and I will claim them when the time is right,"
"Ayya! Do you know where the Prince is?
"No one knows about that. The Prince was last seen heading towards the mountain regions near Anuradhapuram. We will need to find our way through the forest and search for him. The commander has asked me to go along with you as a guide. If you need my help, I would be happy to come along,"
Azhwarkadiyan's offer seemed suspicious to Vandiya Devan. He said, "Swami! I need to meet the Lord Commander Periya Vellar before we leave,"
"Of course you have to. You can't possibly leave without giving him information about Princess Vanathi, his niece," said Azhwarkadiyan.
Vandiya Devan was now convinced that the Vaishnavan must be adept in sorcery to know everything about everything.

One of the happiest times time a person's or couple's lives is the adoption of a child. Illinois law is very specific when it comes to adoption and any deviation from the required process can lead to delay or denial of the adoption. Goldstein and Associates is experienced in securing the adoption of children as swiftly and smoothly as possible.
Generally speaking, there are two types of adoption: related and unrelated. Related adoption is just that – the adoption of a person (usually a child, but occasionally an adult) who is related to the potential adoptive parent by blood or marriage. There are fewer restrictions for a related adoption but proper notice and procedure must still be followed. Notice to the biological parents is necessary when the child is a minor, and is still preferable when the person to be adopted is over the age of 18.
An unrelated adoption is a legal proceeding where the child (or adult) to be adopted is not related to the adoptive parent(s) by either blood or marriage. There is a minimum 6 month wait after the Petition for Adoption is filed before an unrelated adoption can be finalized.
While the adoption proceedings are pending, the Court will usually order temporary custody if the subject of the adoption is a child. Additionally, whether or not an adoption agency is involved, a guardian ad litem (GAL) will also be appointed. The GAL will meet with the potential adoptive parent(s) and child as well as any other persons deemed necessary for a full background check, and may visit with the parties in their home. Attorney Judy Goldstein is experienced in adoption cases. She has also served in the capacity of court appointed GAL in numerous related and unrelated adoption cases, including adoptions of multiple children and children from foreign countries.
Even when an adoption agency is involved, proper legal representation is necessary to assure that the adoption process progresses smoothly and efficiently. To discuss adoption issues and rights, please contact Goldstein & Associates online or by calling (708) 479-0800.

Nikita Scherbak sent down to the Rocket
The 21-year-old forward underwent knee surgery on October 30by Staff Writer @CanadiensMTL / canadiens.com
MONTREAL - The Canadiens announced on Sunday that they had assigned forward Nikita Scherbak to the AHL's Laval Rocket.
View More
Scherbak has missed the last 21 games with a knee injury, which he suffered on October 26 and which resulted in him undergoing surgery on October 30.
The Russian had just been called up by the big club when he got hurt. In two games, he had not collected any points. Before his recall, he was one of Laval's - and the AHL's - top scorers, having recorded nine points (1G, 8A) in six games.
The 21-year-old was the Canadiens' first-round choice (26th overall) in the 2014 Draft. Scherbak has played five NHL games and has scored one goal in that span.

Augusta JonesJessie

This listing has expired.
Augusta Jones "Jessie" is a ivory beaded lace dress with a modified A-line/trumpet style. It has the feel of an A-line dress when you are wearing it, but the cut of the dress lends to a slight trumpet/fit-to-flare, which subtly accentuates the body. The built in corset is a great feature to keep dress in place! A few layers of tulle were standard to the dress, and create the fullness. Custom lace covered buttons were added to the back of the dress, that extend to the entire train. Crystal belt included in sale!! The all over lace is accented by the subtle beading, that looks stunning in any setting! I was told by multiple wedding guests it was the prettiest gown they've ever seen!
The label is a size 10, but I was a street size 4 at the time of the wearing.
Dress $3000, alterations $600, belt $350 [Total= $3950]
Please let me know any questions, or require more pictures of any details!
Alterations were made to the bust/waist line, taken in to measurements of: Bust 34; Waist 27, Hips 38. Hips were unaltered from original dress size, and allowed for easy movement. Corset: There is an inner corset attached to the dress, standard of all August Jones dresses. Removable A/B bust cups were sewn into corset. The corset was shortened slightly to meet the same spot as the belt line. (This hides the line that is often created from the end a corset). Hem line: Tailored to a 5'9" height (5'7" with 2 inch heels) Bustle: A two layer bustle was created for this dress. One for the satin lining and one for the lace overlay. This allows for a beautiful, flowing shape of the dress, and decreased the weight of a typical bustle. (Can provide picture of bustle on request). There is an attached crystal beaded belt that was sewn into dress, (minimally by hidden stitches on sides of dress, and incorporated into button closer). Full retail price of this belt is $350. It can be removed if desired, but was a beautiful addition to the dress that is included with this sale.
Dress has been dry-cleaned and preserved.
Terms Of Sale: All Sales Final
Location: Boston, MA, United States

I am lost in the midst of tinsel and tinkling bells. Crowded streets, shopping madness, the world spins around me. There are homes with sadness, an empty chair whilst people rush on and don't seem to care. My heart is heavy, anxiety prompts tears, why does this happen at this time of year? Give thought to others feeling sad and alone, they are people the adverts don't show
Let us be silent that we may hear the whisper of God

How does art make the community better? How can the community work together to create art? What is unique about our own arts community? How can we further develop and expand our local arts community? These are the types of ideas we hope folks will submit.
The goal for many artists is to find that path toward making it your full time job doing the art you love. Career sessions will cover topics related to this goal of leaving your day job for art.

This is the best ranch dressing recipe, period. It's very versatile. Dinosaur BBQ uses it for more than just salads. It's great as a dipping sauce for fried and grilled meats and veggies. They also use it as a sauce for their chicken sandwiches and fried green tomatoes. At home, I see it being used as a dip for Buffalo wings, fries and more. The options are limitless.
I first tried this ranch dressing at Dinosaur BBQ restaurant in Bufallo, NY served as a dipping sauce with their fried green tomatoes. Not being a big fan of ranch dressing, I did not expect much from it and was more interested in the fried tomatoes. I was pleasantly surprised. The fried tomatoes had a great flavor and were cooked to perfection. The sauce complemented them in the most subtle way, enhancing their flavor without taking anything away or overpowering them. I liked the slight kick from the cayenne pepper, the brightness from the red wine vinegar and slight pungency coming from the fresh garlic and chives.
For best results use the best quality mayonnaise and buttermilk you can find. Try using kefir in place of buttermilk, I like it a lot and to me it tastes better.
Every time I make this sauce it's never enough – people keep coming back and asking for more. Keep that in mind and keep the ingredients ready to whip up more if needed. Better yet, double the recipe if you expect a company and want everything to go without a hiccup.
Dinosaur BBQ Cayenne Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Recipe
- 1 ¼ cups mayonnaise
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- ¼ cup finely chopped chives
- 1 Tbsp lemon pepper
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp Creole seasoning
In a small bowl, whisk all of the ingredients together.
Place in an airtight container and store in a fridge until needed.

Calling her "the principled leader we need to fight for us in Washington," Carl Paladino today endorsed Wendy Long for the United States Senate.
"Washington is mess with too many politicians like Senator Gillibrand who like to talk out of both sides of their mouth, Wendy Long says what she means and means what she says. In the United States Senate, Wendy will give New York the principled leader we need to fight fight for us in Washington.
"Kirsten Gillibrand's radical liberal agenda is crushing individual freedoms, discouraging job creators, compromising religious liberties and mortgaging our children's future. Wendy will get Washington off our backs and help restore an economic climate where small businesses can invest and create jobs."
He added, "This primary is critical, Wendy is the only candidate that can take Gillibrand on without all the distractions of the so called phony war on women and I encourage all New York Republicans to vote for her in the primary this Tuesday."
Wendy Long said, "I thank Carl for his kind words and encouragement. Carl is a true conservative, who is unafraid to tell the hard truths and his voice is important to our state. I'm confident that if we have the courage to confront our problems in the same forthright mannner we can restore confidence and optimism for our state and nation."

Do We Really Have the Time to Do Everything? - By Steve Wickham
Fact of life:
there will never be enough time to do everything. It is indeed interesting that none of us would disagree with this statement, yet by virtue of the way we live our lives, we deny its truth much of the time. This is evidenced by all manner of stress, fatigue and hopelessness, and forward onto disorders of anxiety, fatigue, depression etc.
We cannot do everything.
Yet, we'll all try to skate by on as little sleep as we can, struggling, burning the candle at both ends... running headlong into a catastrophe of our very own making.
Our only choice is to accept that which we cannot change. Missing some things in life now is better than missing everything later; that's a potential reality if we breakdown or have a heart attack or stroke and die.
There is wisdom in not planning too much. We can legalistically push ourselves far too much, demanding that we journal and record and plan and consider. For those who are already diligent, what is wrong with just simply living life?
And diligence is the key. Balance also. We must strike a willful balance relating to our diligence, for too much diligence--onto a wanton frenetic discharge of life; a life gone crazy--will most certainly (and paradoxically) bring lack, sooner or later.
Those of us who've genuinely felt some of the sting of burnout will know how thin our capacities run. We feel so capable and we are--yet what a fine line it is; the capacity of one human being: mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Let's not kid ourselves any longer. The smartest person finds time to do the things they must. They don't simply "do," they make the necessary things happen.
The rest of life is voluntary, "desirable criteria," for the passions; for pure love.
When we take a huge breath in and then exhale all the way out and then simply look, emptying the thought-drenched mind and the heart heavy of things to do, we slowly (but surely) have the cognition of a wonderful reality.
Time: there's truly an abundance of it. Not to make the most of everything. But to truly appreciate this thing called life--to reflect upon the many varied things that are required of us, which we do achieve.
We cannot have all things in this life. Accept this and we master a great many things in one foul swoop. And acceptance is, finally, the golden key.
We can never do all the things we want to do. Rest easy in the knowledge of that and watch out world--here we come!

5th Circuit Decertifies Katrina Class Action
(CN) – The 5th Circuit blocked a group of Hurricane Katrina victims from pursuing a class action to stop the demolition of their storm-damaged housing project.
Yolanda Anderson and 15 other residents of the Big Four housing projects in New Orleans sued to stop the Housing Authority of New Orleans and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development from the demolishing the buildings, which they found to be "obsolete, dilapidated, and unsuitable for housing purposes."
The residents filed a class action, claiming Fair Housing Act violations and racial discrimination.
The district court certified the class action suit to include African-American residents of the projects who received vouchers that did not assist them with their utilities.
However, Judge Garza vacated the class certification on interlocutory appeal.
"The district court abused its discretion by certifying a class based on claims that the residents never pled," Garza wrote, "because the residents' complaint lacks any allegations regarding the administration of the voucher program."

Tough workout tonight...I finished...but it was no bueno.
400m Run with 16# Med Ball
Agility Sprints
*we had to sprint and perform 2 right angle turns as fast as possible and come back to the starting position. It was super fun and challenging. Picture a "T" where you run up to the split, go left or right your choice touch the end cone come back touch the other side and come back to center and run down the middle again. We had 3 tries to get the best time we can.
1st - 9.10
2nd - 9.01
3rd - 8.7
So great! I got faster every time.
10 x power cleans
10 x front squat
10 x front lunges
200m run
Once you selected the weight you had to stick with it and keep that bar throughout the workout.
20 min time cap.
I finished 18:01
this is one of those workouts that I finished but feel guilty about as the last sets were just bad. If I was to judge myself...the front squats and lunges were all bad since I do not have a front rack so I had to modify and also use the mummy position for the last 2 sets. My squats were bad and my front lunges were probably 90% no reps. So yes I finished and I am happy I did it, but it wasnt a workout I was proud of. It was just ugly towards the end.
After class, I did 10 strict pull ups, 3, 3, 2, 2 and left!

Studying science from large-scale usage data: an overview of the MESUR project
Abstract: Science is of significant importance to our society, but we understand very little of the processes that lead to scientific innovation. In this presentation I will provide an overview of our work on large-scale usage data as an early indicator of scientific activity. The MESUR project has in the past 2 years collected a large-scale collection of the usage data recorded by some of the world's most significant publishers, aggregators and institutional consortia. The resulting data set has been analyzed to reveal the structural properties of scientific activity in real-time. I will highlight some of our recent work on producing detailed maps of science that reveal how scientists navigate between online scholarly resources. The results indicate that it may be possible to detect or predict the emergence of innovation from temporal changes in the structure of scientific activity. This work underpins efforts to arrive at a more accurate, pro-active evaluation of scientific impact.
Bio: Johan Bollen is associate professor at the Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing. He was formerly a staff scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory from 2005-2009, and an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science of Old Dominion University from 2002 to 2005. He obtained his PhD in Experimental Psychology from the University of Brussels in 2001 on the subject of cognitive models of human hypertext navigation. He has taught courses on Data Mining, Information Retrieval and Digital Libraries. His research has been funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, National Science Foundation, Library of Congress, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. His present research interests are usage data mining, computational sociometrics, informetrics, and digital libraries. He has extensively published on these subjects as well as matters relating to adaptive information systems architecture. He is presently the Principal Investigator of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and NSF funded MESUR project which aims to expand the quantitative tools available for the assessment of scholarly impact.

Several august bodies have submitted their written evidence to the Home Affairs Committee Inquiry into ID Cards:
Liberty Human Rights:
Liberty's evidence to the Home Affairs Committee on the Government's Identity Card Proposals (.pdf)
The British Computer Society's response is reported by KableNet.
STAND are waiting for permission from the Clerk of the Committee to make their actual evidence available online (it is possible to re-iterate your arguements without their explicit permission)
Our modest contribution squeezed into 2000 words, and so could not cover all the contentious topics, but we did try to bring several issues to the attention of the Committee, hopefully so that they can scrutinise them more deeply:
- We pointed out that the UK Government's own experts on Biometrics, the UK Biometrics Working Group do not claim that the technology is "unforgeable" or that Biometric Identifiers are "unique", statements which often seem to be on the lips of Home Office Ministers and spokespeople. We also suggested that the Committee should enquire why no Biometric Technology has achieved Memorandum 28 status as being suitable for use by UK Government departments.
- We pointed out that the Committee should be asking the outgoing e-Envoy, just how a Biometric ID Card can be of any use in authenticating people for online internet or telephone call centre e-Government services, and wether the current Home Office plan could actually hinder the takeup of such services (and thereby lose the anticipated savings and benefits to the public).
- We also pointed out the lack of any mention of a Public Key Infrastructure to Digitally Sign the Biometric Identifiers which are supposed to be on the Smart Card. The International Civil Aviation Organisation's proposed standards for Machine Readable Travel Documents (including Biometric Passports) recognise the need for a PKI to prevent forgery of Biometric Identifiers, but also, realistically, consider that the problems of Cross Certification and Certificate Revocation for over 120 different countries is an impossible one. They are therefore proposing to use a customised PKI, solely for Biometric Passports, which is deliberately incompatible with any other systems i.e. completely scuppering the Home Office's vague hopes of a combined ID Card + Biometric Passport + Driving Licence.
- The whole concept of keeping Address information on either an ID card or on a central database or in a National Identity Register is extremely controversial, even the Home Office's own focus group research found that most people were worried by this aspect of their plans. If Address information is to be of any use in catching criminals, then it needs to be at least as intrusive as the Violent and Sexual Offender Register, when it comes to Change of Address Notification policies. Just like the British Computer Society, we pointed out the the decisions about wether or not to include Address information on the ID card need to made right at at the start of the "voluntary" scheme, or else there will be huge financial and logistical problems as the project progresses

Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh is a Zen Master and global spiritual leader, peace activist and poet , known worldwide for his powerful teachings and bestselling writings on mindfulness and peace.
His greatest teaching is that, through mindfulness, we can be taught to live happily in the present moment and be at peace with oneself and with the world around us.
Here is a collection of some of his quotes that will not only teach you mindfulness in the simple things in life, but that will also bring peace to your soul.
• "There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness."
• "Walk and touch peace every moment. Walk and touch happiness every moment. Each step brings a fresh breeze. Each step makes a flower bloom. Kiss the earth with your feet. Bring the earth your love and happiness. The earth will be safe When we feel safe in ourselves."
• "When we recognize the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection, love is born."
• "Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again."
Recommended: 40 Uplifting Quotes By Reggae's Legend, Bob Marley
• "Sometimes we speak clumsily and create internal knots in others. Then we say, 'I was just telling the truth.' It may be the truth, but if our way of speaking causes unnecessary suffering, it is not. Right Speech. The truth must be presented in ways that others can accept. Words that damage or destroy are not Right Speech. Before you speak, understand the person you are speaking to. Consider each word carefully before
you say anything, so that your speech is 'Right' in both form and content."
• "Insight brings love, and love is not possible without insight, understanding. If you do not understand, you cannot love. This insight is direct understanding, and not just a few notions and ideas. In meditation we allow ourselves to be shined on by the light of that insight."
• "Mindfulness is always mindfulness of something, just as anger is always anger at something. When you drink a glass of water and are aware that you are drinking a glass of water, that is mindfulness of drinking water. In this case, we produce mindfulness of anger. "Breathing in, I know I am angry. Breathing out, I know that anger is in me." First the energy of anger arises, and second the energy of mindfulness arises. The second energy embraces the first in order to soothe it and allow it to subside."
• "When you are angry, close your eyes and ears and return to yourself in order to quell the flames. Smile, even if it takes effort. Smiling relaxes hundreds of tiny muscles, making your face more attractive. Sit wherever you are and look deeply. If your concentration is not yet strong, you can go outside and practice walking meditation. Most essential is to water the seed of mindfulness and allow it to arise in your mind consciousness."

• "The feeling that any task is a nuisance will soon disappear if it is done in mindfulness."
• "Live the actual moment. Only this actual moment is life."
• "People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?"
• "Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment."
