Already a benchmark for style and comfort in the premium midsize sedan category, the 2017 Toyota Avalon ups the ante for standard safety with the addition of Toyota Safety Sense™-P (TSS-P) for all grades. The system equips the Avalon with Automatic High Beam, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist.
The move to make TSS-P standard on all Avalon grades follows Toyota's promise to offer TSS standard on nearly all its models by the end of 2017. That will put the automaker four years ahead of the model-year 2022 industry target announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Available in XLE, XLE Plus, XLE Premium, Touring and Limited trim levels, power for the Toyota flagship sedan is generated by a 3.5L V6 engine. Torque is delivered through the front wheels via a U 660e six-speed automatic transmission.
If the V6 gives the Avalon the heart of a sport sedan, the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and choice of Eco, Normal and Sport driving modes confirm the connection. Selecting Sport mode yields quicker throttle response and enhanced electric power steering feel, and raises transmission shift points. On downshifts, it "blips" the throttle, as the driver of a stick-shift sports car would. Selecting Eco Mode prioritizes fuel efficiency by balancing driving performance, air conditioning function and fuel efficiency. Normal mode gives the best balance of everyday performance and comfort.
With its coupe-like profile, discrete chrome trim and ample cabin room, the Avalon presents a platform for luxury. Interior design and appointments certainly underscore that premise. One of the roomiest cabins in the segment, Avalon's cabin comes in a choice of three interior color themes including almond, light gray and black. Interior serenity is an Avalon hallmark. This is assured by strategically placed sound-absorbing and sound-insulating materials, including acoustic-type glass used for the windshield and side glass and foam injected into the A-, B- and C-pillars and rocker panels.

In Prep our philosophy is to develop a sense of belonging, curiosity, and a passion for learning. The Prep year provides students with an opportunity to settle into the routines of school, learn foundational concepts which are built upon in later years, and establish relationships with fellow students and teachers.
Our overarching premise in Reading is for students to develop a love of books and to become confident readers. Daily Reader's Workshops provide students with opportunities to learn foundational skills of how readers read texts, and time to explore how readers interact with and understand what they read. Each day students engage with texts at their level, and practise skills and concepts in reading.
In Writing, our focus throughout Prep is developing independent writers. Our Writer's Workshops provide students with explicit instruction on the conventions of writing (e.g. left to right, spaces between words, full stops etc.), as well as an opportunity to explore different genres. Students have opportunities to practise their writing during independent writing time.
Developing a strong understanding of numbers is our focus in Maths. Initially our focus is numbers to 10, building up to numbers to 20 by the end of the Prep year. Through hands on learning tasks, and many games, we build these understandings. Our focus is to develop an ability to trust the count, and to gain a flexible understanding of and ability to work with numbers.
Inquiry learning is where we explore different topics, such as "How do things move?" or "What are things made of?". Inquiry provides the avenue through which we develop key learning skills. Such skills include:
- developing an understanding of what it means to be a self-manager and developing independence
- learning how to communicate in a respectful manner with others
- being a researcher, learning how to locate information on areas of interest
- opportunities to collaborate with fellow classmates, and
- articulating our thinking, and using a variety of thinking tools (e.g. spider diagrams, data charts, T charts, mind maps etc.) to record our understandings.

German Science Train
Photos credit: © www.archi-me-des.com / Oliver Wia
Discovering science while being onboard a train is the creative idea of a mobile exhibition in Germany. The idea is to help show the public different aspects of science - in a new setting - and with an eye to the future. The 2009 exhibition will travel throughout Germany over eight months. SLIS faculty member Katy Börner announced that the two Illuminated Diagram Displays from the Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit are on the train.
Read more about the German Science Train in these media links. Excerpts are included.
Science Train Takes Public on Research Voyage by German Missions in the United States (4/24/09)
"The first ever science exhibit aboard a train is traveling through Germany. Since March 2009, the innovative, mobile exhibit known as Expedition Zukunft (Expedition Future) has been touring, letting the public discover the meaning of science for the future. The exhibition is organized by the Max Planck Society as part of the Year of Science 2009.
In 12 converted train cars, visitors can dive into different subjects from cosmology to particle physics, nanotechnology and brain research to applied and industrial research in production, agriculture, energy, environment and mobility.
Bringing research to our everyday lives: Science and technology are of increasing importance to the lives of everyone, yet many current developments in international research are not well-known. Expedition Zukunft also wants to invite visitors to discuss technology's role in their everyday lives, as well as its future role, controversial technologies and the role of science in confronting global warming."
Science Express presents top German research
by the German Information Centre (4/21/09)
"The Science Train, which is being put on track by the Federal Government in collaboration with the Max Planck Society to mark the 60th anniversary of the Federal Republic, is part of the 2009 Year of Science celebrations, which are being conducted under the motto "Research Expedition Germany". Beginning on April 24, the exhibition will tour Germany for eight months and over a period of 216 days will stop at 62 stations from Kiel to Konstanz and from Aachen to Görlitz; the terminus is Berlin.
Once the train has started its journey, the exhibition organisers hope that it will engender as much enthusiasm as its model, the Science Express which the Max Planck Society despatched to 57 cities in India in 2007/08 - and which was boarded by 2.2 million visitors."

There are Barcelona directors that shouldn't be there, blasts Neymar
The Brazil global completed his protracted transfer between the two clubs earlier this month when his £198m release clause was triggered. Paris St Germain's record signing Neymar scored twice on his home debut as the 10-man side thrashed Toulouse 6-2 to go top of Ligue 1.

Frank de Boer says Crystal Palace debut was 'hard lesson'So often played on the wing, Zaha has been moved closer to Christian Benteke in a more central role and was unlucky not to pull a goal back for the Eagles at 2-0 Huddersfield . As a sportsman, a footballer, you only like to have a chance, and we have a chance. Crystal Palace boss Frank de Boer has admitted that he is unsure whether the Eagles will sign Mamadou Sakho.
EPL 2017/18, Newcastle 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur: 5 Talking PointsNewcastle were playing the counter attack well, until Shelvey stamped on Alli right in front of the referee .

"We'll try to sign a few players more, we're trying hard to bring some new energy".
The Premier League broke with tradition to kick off its new seasonDanny Welbeck did get the Gunner level in the last few seconds of the first half to give them hope of a better second 45.

Bills Trade Sammy Watkins to Rams, Acquire Jordan Matthews From EaglesWhen the Philadelphia Eagles play the Buffalo Bills in a preseason game at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday, wide receiver Jordan Matthews will be on the visitor's sideline. The Buffalo Bills traded for Eagles WR Jordan Matthews who seems to be Watkins' replacement. That will give them at a minimum six selections in the top 100 of the draft, plus if they get any compensatory selection for the loss of Stephon Gillmore, and potentially four of those picks could be top 40 selections.
Barcelona target Ousmane Dembele has gone AWOL, admits Dortmund manager BoszDembele, who has made no secret of his desire to play for Barcelona , may have been trying to break the deadlock with his no-show, Bild suggested.

She has led the team to two World Cup finals (2005 and 2017) and has lost both of them.
'After some years, people will ask whether men play cricket'Speaking about the development of the game skipper Mithali Raj recalled her struggles during the 90's and stated that facilities have improved now thanks to various stakeholders coming together and taking the game forward.

Expertise On Demand
Dell needed a creative way to start a conversation with experts in a very specific market. Typically, the time and cost of gathering such subject-matter experts is prohibitive. Using the Insight Community, Dell succeeded in connecting with experts, customers and even other vendors in a far deeper conversation than had previously existed in the space.
In the fall of 2007, Dell bought enterprise storage provider Equallogic. As Dell continued its expansion into the enterprise storage market, the company also wanted to grow its brand equity in the space. The Dell team felt that one of the strongest ways to accomplish this was to connect and begin conversations with enterprise storage experts to get feedback and insights on the direction of the market.
Dell worked with Floor64 analysts to design a series of targeted Insight Community cases that would invite and inspire the world's enterprise storage experts to participate in a conversational forum. Floor64 also sought out and invited enterprise storage experts from around the globe to join the Insight Community and be a part of the discussion.
In order to support Dell's conversational marketing strategy, Floor64 developed a streamlined method of publishing the most insightful, timely and relevant contributions from the cases to a live public platform. In Dell's case, a micro-site - The Future of Storage - was created by Floor64's partner, Federated Media to share the content generated by the cases.
The Insight Community cases and The Future of Storage micro-site have been a resounding success, leading to widespread conversation both within the site and across the web, as a variety of other blogs began linking to, and talking about, what was being said on the site. Eventually the discussion garnered enough attention that other vendors in the enterprise storage market joined in and took part in the overall discussion - whether they agreed with Dell's vision or not. The Future of Storage project has been completed, and the micro-site is maintained for posterity.
The interaction between Insight Community cases and micro-site in the Dell case draws attention to the real strength of using the Insight Community model to generate open and insightful conversations. The Insight Community provides turnkey access through the thoughtful design of cases to hundreds of subject matter experts from all walks of life. And when the content is well leveraged by the sponsoring company, the result is connection and insight into the market that hadn't previously been possible.
Dell (http://www.dell.com/) listens to customers and delivers innovative technology and services that they trust and value. They offer a broad range of product categories, including desktop computer systems, servers and networking products, mobility products, software, peripherals and enhanced services.

'Politicians equate terrorism with crime'
In the 12 days since the July 13 terror attacks, home minister RR Patil has not made a single public comment. He is worried that anything he says could trigger adverse reaction from the public or the media and put him in trouble again – the last time, after the November 26, 2008 attacks, he lost his job.mumbai Updated: Jul 25, 2011 01:34 IST
In the 12 days since the July 13 terror attacks, home minister RR Patil has not made a single public comment. He is worried that anything he says could trigger adverse reaction from the public or the media and put him in trouble again – the last time, after the November 26, 2008 attacks, he lost his job.
People's unprecedented protests in 2008, which forced the resignations of a Union home minister, the chief minister and state home minister, have made politicians fearful of criticism that comes after a terror attack.
Does it mean that leaders now take the threat of terror strikes more seriously? "Politicians are a little more serious about terror threats, but the problem lies in the way they handle the issue. They don't understand that terror is not an issue of mere policing and that we are not dealing with a bunch of gangsters who commit crime for personal gains," said a former bureaucrat who has handled Maharashtra's home department.
Crime and terror are two separate issues, and terrorism is not an offshoot of crime. "Our governments react in a typical way after every attack. They talk of buying more weapons and equipment and recruiting more police," he said.
Experts said the need is for a comprehensive effort, not just with regard to security but to also redress grievances of sections of the society — minority or majority — who are hurt.
"The government needs to involve civil society and experts. There isn't enough consultation outside the police department," said a former bureaucrat, requesting anonymity as he is still working for the government. Dr Ratnakar Mahajan, Congress leader and former executive chairman of state planning board, who was part of the consultation group on strengthening the security apparatus after 26/11, agrees.
"As far as handling terror is concerned, I doubt many politicians understand the problem. It is a socio-political issue and there is a problem in the way it is dealt with," Mahajan said.
Politicians prioritise the handling of crime as it matters more to them. It helps them win elections. "Strengthening a force like the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) will have no political benefit. Besides, developing the terror-handling mechanism is a long-term exercise. Politicians believe in short-term measures," said a former home secretary.
Politics has affected the state's preparedness in handling attacks. "In the past two decades, since the era of coalition politics began in Maharashtra, the home department has been the casualty. It is seen as a tool to lord over opponents from Opposition or within the coalition," said political analyst B Venkatesh Kumar.
The Congress-NCP tussle for power has affected the functioning of the police department and the policy on handling terror.
The NCP, which bartered portfolios such as home in lieu of the chief ministerial chair, does not let the Congress intervene in its functioning. Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan's outburst two days after the blasts is evidence of that.
"As long as the home department is a pawn in power politics, it will be difficult to tackle terror effectively. Or you need an approach like Union home minister P Chidambaram's, who has brought some professionalism in the internal security forces," said Kumar.
Experts warn that political parties and the administration will have to take the issue more seriously as terror groups are continuously reinventing strategies.
"In the coming days, it will become more difficult to track terror. Terror groups now rely on person-to-person contact, which is difficult to monitor as security agencies use technology to intercept communication," said a home department official. "Information and trained manpower are the key. You have to provide the most seasoned people to a specialised force like the ATS. In past five years, the ATS has been ignored. This kind of attitude will make you a soft target," he said.

Even in my single girl days, I always had a soft spot for Valentine's Day. Growing up, my Mom always seemed to surprise my siblings and me with little gifts, and in my teenage years, my girlfriends and I would assemble to bash the world of men over chocolate and more chocolate. These days, I'm the luckiest girl in the world to call B my Valentine, but sending my love to my friends, little sisters and nieces and nephews is equally as sweet.
If you're in the mood to send out some love this February, here are a few of my favorite Valentine cards:
#1. Rifle Paper Co: their cards are always endearing without becoming cheesy.
#2: Zazzle has an excellent selection of vintage cards. How cute is this one?!#3. The Card Store has a number of fun ideas to personalize your cards. Perfect for those of us DIY adverse.
#4: Or keep things even simpler and send out a Valentine eCard? This one made me giggle. If you, unlike me, are a modern day Martha Stewart, these homemade cards are also pretty adorable.
Stay tuned for Valentine gift ideas! X

Welcome to the Mosherpit, where I blog about everything that fascinates me and irritates me, be it movies, comic books, music and life. By day I sell trains and by night I'm writing books. The Friday Night Frights series is out and ongoing and can be found on Amazon along with my debut novel, Lost at Comic Con. Come with me, won't you?

Hello, Hello!
Oh yeah, and I saw Spider-Man 3 last night. Can't say I'm a huge fan. I would put it down there with X-Men The Last Stand which I didn't like very much. I'm a bit of a comic purist, so there were just too many stupid changes from the original comics that bugged the hell out of me. I did like Gwen Stacy though. Even though her character wasn't used right and should have been in the first movie (and died), I think the actress (Bryce Dallas Howard) did a great job.

Bout time, chief. :)
Next week is light, but it is made all the more awesome by new JSA, GL, JSA Classified and the mother fucking Boys. God I love that series. I should have my comic store put that on hold for me.
- MixMaster said...
True, JSA is good, but I've been stock-piling the Lightning Saga crossover story so I can read it all at once. Sometimes I enjoy stories more that way. I hear Meltzer (JLA, sorry -- Justice League of America) has been doing a good job on this arc -- much better than the last arc.

I'm writing something for a roleplay and I couldn't find ANYTHING on the site that says when the Ancient Armes Dynasty actually fell time-line while and when it began. So here are my questions.
1. They said the Sindar appeared centuries after the Dynasty fell. Does this mean something like 400-700 years? Does that mean that the Armes Dynasty was around from -2000 to -1000 to about -700 then was abolished and the Sindar came somewhere after in -500 and fixed everything, leaving in -230 and continued their travelling?
2. I think that the Sindar were gone after 0. Does that sound about right? Anyone have any thoughts on that.
3. If the Leader of the Sindar changed leaders, how old would the last leader be if they existed to present time?

Kabul: Human Rights Watch says Afghan militias and some units of a US-backed local police force have been committing abuses, including stealing from homes and beating residents.
The New York-based rights group says in a 102-page report released on Monday that the Afghan government and American military need to take steps to ensure irregular militias are disbanded and police made accountable.
The Afghan Local Police was set up a year ago to bolster the national police and Army and help provide security in places where forces are thin. They are to help provide security until enough Afghan Army and police forces are recruited to take over security for Afghanistan when foreign combat forces leave at the end of 2014.
The US-led coalition, also known as ISAF, said it would review the report.

In a season chock full of transitions and newness, two things will remain a constant during New York Fashion Week: there will be high drama (from show-goers and organizers, and via the fashions seen on the runway), and shows will never, ever start on time. With two new venues in use and many more shows scattered throughout the city, most guests had a look of slight disorientation on their faces on day 1, and rightfully so. A lot has changed, and it's hard to get acclimated when shows last an average of just 12 minutes and there's a whirlwind of commotion going on all around.
On day 1, within a span of five hours, I managed to (miraculously) make it to the three major venues (Moynihan Station, Clarkson Square, Milk Studios) for shows and backstage coverage, and surfaced relatively unscathed, with my opinion on the matter, along with some facts, to share with the IFB community.
No Time to Meander: Get in, Get Out, Move out of the Way
This seemed to be the mantra at all three of the main venues this season. There is no common area or lobby to congregate in, meet friends, or rest between shows. There might as well be "No loitering" signs posted about, as there is no space to do anything but queue in the line for the show, enter it, and then promptly thereafter be ushered out of the door. There is a bit of a riser inside of the Moynihan station, relatively steep and prominent, and not a very conducive workspace.
The wifi was available with a password, which usually is given out freely (I was unable to get onto wifi at Milk Studios or Clarkson Square however. Clarkson Square is also so air tight that it will be near impossible to get a cell signal; might as well put your phone away, save its battery, and be social!). The true space to be social is in the show itself, and the entryway at Moynihan Station is so short that people had to wait in a line outside to get in before some of the afternoon shows. Did I mention that it rained all day? And will continue to do so for the next several days? The fashion week weather challenges never relent! Speaking of, even if you want to use the restroom, you have to snake your way past several security guards to get there (in all three locations). Which leads me to…
The bathrooms are actually nice (well, normal) this season
No more squeezing into a trailer with a meager four port-a-Johns, or using a freestanding one backstage. This season boasts an actual bathroom, with a full, real door and walls! At Moynihan Station, there were even TRESemmé hair products (a sponsor) in the restroom to use to freshen up, while at Clarkson Square, there was a bathroom attendant AND a basket full of mints (Milk Studios has always had restrooms, although not enough if you ask me!). Score! The irony though, is that although there are decent bathrooms this year, it was hard for me to find the tubs of free bottled water, that are usually in excess at the events.
An organized check-in system is only as good as technology allows
So…Fashion GPS is pretty commonly used, and it's great for pulling up the confirmation codes and barcodes. However, when I entered the show at Moynihan Station, there was a huge line, and only three people scanning in the barcodes from a smartphone, instead of a self-serve scanning kiosk which was available during previous seasons. It was a huge problem. The people doing the check-ins were moving very slowly, it wasn't working half the time, and so they just let in clumps of people at a time without even "checking them in."
This is upsetting for two reasons. 1: I spent a lot of time to organize my emails and confirmations so that I would be prepared and ready to check in swiftly. 2: if you aren't scanned in, the designer/brand/publicists have no record of you being there. If you are invited and don't show up, it can be grounds for not being invited for the next season. So please, get this straightened out, and scan me in!
The outdoor catwalk is still happening; it's just extremely cramped!
Imagine one of the busiest areas of New York City (Penn Station), and then throw into the mix construction, partially obstructed streets and sidewalks, about 5,000 more people for fashion week, tourists stopping to gawk, street vendors, women teetering on 5+ inch high heels, photo-hungry fashionistas stopping and nonchalantly posing, and photographers rushing and darting all around to get that street style pic. Sounds like madness, right? Oh, it is! The major spot for this, I observed, is at the corner of 33rd Street at 8th Avenue, making it difficult to walk in a straight line and get to the Moynihan Station shows in a timely fashion. The photographers hug tighter to the inside of the sidewalks at Clarkson Square and Milk Studios, fenced inward by barricades, traffic, and security guards keeping them off of the middle of the sidewalk.
If you want to do street style photos, may I suggest…
Although there really isn't a spot as scenic as Bryant Park was or Lincoln Center, if you want to have some photos taken and not have 1,000 distractions happening in the background, this New York blogger has a few suggestions for you. If you are at Moynihan Station, hop on the steps in front of the building on 8th Avenue, or walk down 32nd or 31st Street to 9th Avenue. If you are at Clarkson Square, go one block further west to 9A/the West Side Highway, cross to the water side, and take photos on a pier, path, or in the park. If you are at Milk Studios, head to Little West 12th Street, a few blocks south for picturesque New York cobblestones, or pop right up to the Highline (I like this idea best!).
Take the train, and wear flats!
Fashion is about frivolity and fantasy, but when you are working in the industry, being pragmatic will take you far. And I mean that literally. Please wear comfortable shoes! Thank goodness athleisure is popular right now, which means you can get away with slick, comfy clothes and cool sneaker options. Plus, it's still warm enough to wear sandals, and you can't tell me that there aren't tons of cute flat sandal styles out there. Also, you will quickly spend a fortune taking cars between the venues, so try to allot yourself enough time to travel between locations using the subway. It could be the same time, if not faster at times, than in a cab.
Download the Hopstop app (while you can!), which gives perfect directions, as well as alternative routes, accounts for interrupted train service, and provides fare estimates for various modes of transportation. If I took a cab between the three venues today, I would have spent $55 + tax + tips. Instead, I just used my already-paid-for monthly metrocard, that if I would have paid for as I went along, would still have only cost me 1/5 of the cab fare. I'd rather pocket the difference and put it toward some of those fabulous looks that I see during the week at the shows and presentations!
Do you have any other fashion week spring 2016-related questions for me? If so, post in the comments below!

Capital Allowances: Exploration Expenditure Supplement: Pre-Commencement Supplement
A company may, before it starts to trade, acquire a licence interest and carry out oil exploration and appraisal activities in relation to that interest.
Qualifying companies (OT26083) that incur qualifying E&A expenditure (OT26083) in any accounting period ending on or after 1 January 2004 but before 1 January 2006, and before they set up and commence a ring fence trade can claim EES under the rules for pre-commencement supplement (OT26085).
Pre-commencement EES is calculated on a cumulative basis for each pre-commencement accounting period (see below). The pre-commencement supplement must be claimed for the period in which the company's ring fence trade commences at the same time as the claim for R&D allowances on the qualifying E&A expenditure incurred before the commencement of the ring fence trade (OT26092).
To calculate the EES due for the pre-commencement periods, a company is deemed to have a mixed pool of qualifying E&A expenditure and EES which is carried forward from one period to the next. For any pre-commencement period, the expenditure to be added to the pool is
- the qualifying E&A expenditure on which R&D allowances are claimed when the ring fence trade commences incurred in that pre-commencement period less any reduction by proceeds attributable to E&A expenditure due to license disposals, or unrelieved group ring fence profits (OT26091)
- the EES for that period.
Transition to RFES
The amount in the EES pre-commencement mixed pool immediately before 1 January 2006 is renamed the relevant amount carried forward under Schedule 19B and included in the RFES mixed pool set up under ICTA88\Sch19C\para10 for the purposes of pre-commencement RFES (see OT26140).
For a company with a 31 December accounting date, the amount carried forward will be the amount in the EES mixed pool at the end the company's accounting period ending 31 December 2005.
If a company has any other accounting date, the straddling period rules split the accounting period that straddles 1 January 2006 into two separate accounting periods, the first ending on 31 December 2005. It is the amount in the EES mixed pool at the end of that deemed accounting period that is included in the RFES pre-commencement mixed pool.

Yes, it can be done, and with some help from the right people and smoking cessation aids, it may be easier than you imagine. So, let's do something amazing, let's be amazing – let's quit smoking for good!
Do you know what is inside a cigarette? Aside from the addictive nicotine, a cigarette contains about 7000 harmful ingredients that can be hazardous to your life, 69 of which are cancer-causing substances. Life is precious; you can only live once. So, if you smoke, quitting is the first step to living life to the fullest!
Smoking can age an individual prematurely. It can also stain teeth and nails, and causes teeth and gum problems. You will notice the difference, however, if you choose to quit. For better, of course; you will notice your skin clearing up, becoming brighter and more hydrated when you quit.
When you quit smoking, you will no longer have the smell of stale tobacco hanging around you, even your sense of smell will improve. Any cough, wheezing and breathing problem caused by smoking will also show improvement 3-9 months after you quit smoking.
When you smoke, you are exposing yourself to the risk of developing associated respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and even cancer. Smoking still remains a leading public health problem and a major risk factor for the occurrences of these non-communicable diseases. But if you do happen to quit, your risk of developing such diseases will be reduced. Your heart health, blood circulation, sense of smell and taste will also improve; and your body will truly thank you for that.
Given the rising cost of living, you can certainly save a lot if you choose to quit. In fact, the money you spent to satisfy your smoke cravings can be put to good use. You can choose to spend it on groceries, household items, new clothing, sport equipment and even splurge on a decent holiday.
Your own health risk aside, you are also affecting other people's health when you smoke in front of them. Think of your loved ones. You wouldn't want them to suffer the same health consequences. Children whose parents are smokers are more likely to pick up the smoking habit later on. Quit smoking for the sake of your own health, your loved ones, your children and the surrounding non-smokers.

Diet Eman endured Hitler's occupation separated from her fiance, Hein Sietsma. But apart, they served in the Dutch Underground—saving at least 60 Jews from certain death.
Suzanne Burden
Pop-pop-pop! Diet Eman lay awake in her bed. Who could be beating their rugs at this hour? It was early morning on May 10, 1940. Hours before, Hitler had announced that he would respect the neutrality that the Netherlands had maintained during World War I. As the popping continued, Eman and her parents scrambled.... continue reading >>

These 2 stretchers attach the left and right side of the bench and again I used a pieces of 2×4. Put a tennon on the left and right sides of the stretcher and then measured from the outside face of the risers to a convenient place to attach the the wash and nut in the middle of the stretcher by drill a 1 3/8" hole on the left and right side of the component thus being able to drawer everything tight with a wrench…
Pictures explain this better than I can right the direction so here it is

KC-135 Stratotanker planes have been refueling fighter craft in-flight for more than 60 years. While such longevity is commendable, the US military's fleet of mid-air refuellers is in desperate need of an update. And that's where this new flying gas station comes in.
The Boeing KC-46A is a derivative of the Boeing 767-200 built at Boeing's Everett, WA facility and converted to military use at another Boeing facility in Puget Sound. The KC-46 program has been a long time coming. Congress and the military have wrangled over funding for the project for more than a decade, finally agreeing to an initial investment of $3.5 billion in 2011 for Boeing's design. The aerospace company has until 2017 to deliver the first 18 tankers with the remaining 161 due in 2028. In all, explains Maj. Gen. John Thompson, program executive officer and program director for the KC-46, the deal is "worth about $32 billion in then-year dollars, goes from about two years ago out into the 2020s and is something that they will be able to leverage into a very important weapon system for the United States Air Force for decades to come. Absolutely, it is a win-win."

|Generally in their second or third year. It depends on the variety.
Some pump out offsets like crazy, others will put out maybe one or two a year after a couple of years. I have one species semp whose name is escaping me at the moment since 2009 and have only received maybe two offsets total among 4 or 5 rosettes. I took other steps to increase them last year because I was worried about flowering. I think it is S. degenianum, a very nice looking species.
Be patient. Soon you will be overrun with the cackling and need earplugs.

A little more than a week ago, Marry Me – The Store by Candice Pereira, opened shop on the first level of Candies (the Pali Hill outlet). Being a huge fan and loyal patron of Candies and the bazaars they frequently have, the idea of them now running a little store there in the middle of all that buzz intrigued me to bits! I visited the store during the weekend and well, I have only good things to say about this one.
Some background on its conceptualisation: Candice and her husband, Jarret D'Abreo founded Marry Me – The Wedding Planners a few years ago. They've been planning and helping organise some very successful weddings so far. Marry Me – The Store, I feel personally, is just an extension of their wedding planning business.
The shop is definitely cleverly constructed. Candice has made the best use of the small space available above Candies (earlier where a few bazaars used to be held). The interiors – the off-white walls, pastel-coloured door and furniture, and flower patterned wallpaper work well to give you that vintage-y Paris village and English tea shop feel.
Inside, when you first see the shelves and little storing-contraptions, you can tell that they've been carefully selected and designed. In fact, Candice also told me that most of the furniture is among stuff she's been collecting over the years, and those have been refurbished to decorate the store. What's more, is that the space is plenty spacious to move around and you can inspect the goods carefully at your own leisure.
Gift boxes, bejewelled hair bands, ring boxes, cuff links, recipe cards, stationery (diaries and gilt pads by 61C), gift tags, bath products (scented candles and soaps, aromatic massage oils), storage trunks, vintage vanity suitcases, personalised envelopes, lip balms in small tins (see pictures), oil diffusers, and yes, even, personalised fancy collar tags for your pet (to sport on D-Day if they're in your wedding, perhaps!) + so much more.
While you might think that most of the items in here are typically wedding-related and are meant just for a bride (or groom), you're wrong! The store also stocks favours for bridesmaids (Hallelujah!) and collectibles like the old school jewellery boxes that make for really cute gifts even otherwise.
My favourites are the vintage suitcases, paper storage and trinket boxes, tinned lip balms and scented candles! I left the store happily with a nice little paper box (Rs. 225) and a scented candle (Baked Pear for Rs. 210). I intend to come back and purchase more goodies (*GLEE*).
I am going to wrap this review up by saying that on the whole, Marry Me – The Store made a lasting first impression on me (I trust it'll do quite well in a given spate of time). Do stop by when you swing by Candies.
Good luck, Candice and Jarret. :-D

Does anyone know the conditions of the road from Pooncarie to Lake Mungo
I'm, driving a Isuzu MUX and towing 23FT van , last time I was there 37 years ago
it was JUST a dirt road ( no caravan and company car) We are keen to see the place again.
Regards Brian
I drove that section about 5 years ago, it wasn't too shabby at all and a pleasant drive. I drove Mildura-Mungo about a year ago and it was heavily corrugated, let the tyres down and drove slowly and survived with fillings still in the correct teeth.

As promised, here is a short 'n sweet Q&A with the glamour/fetish/bondage model turned spanko star Missy Rhodes, who recently debuted on Clare Fonda's flagship Spanked Sweeties site, which is also available via Clare's better valued multi site Clare Pass.
In the scenes, Missy plays Clare's mischevious daughter and gets a delicious dose of Momma Clare's old-fashioned cherry red hued attention, in addition to getting man spanked as well. Adult star Tegan Summers even plays Missy's sister in one of the scenes. Missy is also candidly interviewed about her spanking experiences.
Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to chat with The Cherry Red Report. So I know you have done lots of glamour modeling and fetish/bondage work, as seen on your Tumblr blog, so how did you end up over Clare's lap on Spanked Sweeties, quite deliciously I might add?
I ended up contacting them through FetLife when I was traveling out to LA and we decided to set up a shoot. Now I shoot with them every time I make it out to LA.
Have you always been into spanking, or has this been a relatively new development?
I was never spanked in a sexual way or spanked by someone who had a fetish for it till I started modeling. My first spanking shoot was intense and surprising to say the least.
What attracts you to the spanking fetish?
The sensation of receiving a punishment spanking is unlike anything else. It's euphoric but also painful, but I like giving spankings more than receiving.
How sore was your bottom after this most recent Spanked Sweeties shoot?
The last shoot I did with them was really, really rough! My bottom was very sore and red after that.
What was it like working with Clare Fonda?
I love her! She can give one rough spanking though. . .
I bet! How would you describe her spanking style?
Swift, sharp and very, very powerful.
In regards to your fetish/glamour/bondage modeling, who are some of your fav photographers to work with?
I work with so many amazing people it's hard to pick any one out….
Do you plan to, I hope, shoot more spanking scenes with Clare?
Of course! I'll be shooting for one of their sites again soon, so look out for it. I'm on most of their sites now, so go and find my other videos…
I shall, I promise! What are some of your "vanilla" non-adult interests and passions?
I love writing, traveling and collecting records.
Finally, any other future plans and projects for Missy Rhodes that we fans should be aware of?
I've got lots of things in the works. Follow my Tumblr blog and follow me on twitter @ontherhodes to see what I'm up to!
Thanks very much for your time and keep up the cherry red spanktastic awesomesauce.

WASHINGTON — Washington. -- Last Monday a judge in Wayne County, Michigan, declared the state law against assisted suicide unconstitutional. In his original ruling, Judge Richard Kaufman drew a distinction between people wishing to commit suicide who have what he termed a ''low quality of life'' and those who have a higher ''quality of life.'' The law could not apply to the former. It could apply to the latter.
This is the type of ruling we might expect under some proposed forms of universal health care in which the government decides who should live and who should die based on a formula that determines who is productive and who is a drain on limited government resources.
Although Judge Kaufman later struck down the law banning assisted suicide, he did raise the issue that the choice of suicide is inherently more ''rational'' and ''reasonable'' if made by people with disabilities or with any medical condition that adversely affects ''quality of life.''

A Florida woman faces 120 years behind bars after locking her boyfriend's son in a cupboard and starving the 12-year-old so severely that he weighed just 40 pounds. Sharon Glass was found guilty on eight counts of aggravated child abuse, while Michael Marshall is awaiting trial on similar charges. But Glass' ex-husband and the boy's teachers called child services to report the child's disturbing appearances on several occasions, begging the question as to why they didn't step in.
Glass and Marshall were arrested in 2012 when police found the emaciated boy lying on the bathroom floor. The boy testified in court and said he was "constantly locked up" by the pair. Marshall reportedly tied him to a bunk bed for three days; after the boy chewed through the ropes to escape, he was then locked in a bathroom. The boy also testified that he was locked in the bathroom on Christmas 2011 and only removed to watch other children open gifts before being locked up again with a stocking full of coal.
Several of his teachers at South Lake Elementary School said they "tried and begged" to have child services step in. One of them said she "honestly thought the next call that I got about him was that he would be dead." Glass' ex-husband also said he called child services about the boy on 12 different occasions.
"They told me stop calling," he said. "If you're told by DCF to stop calling, what else can you do? Who else can you call?"
Glass told the court that she wanted to leave the relationship with Marshall, but he threatened to kill her several times. She also claimed to be unaware of his dangerously thin frame because he always wore baggy clothes.

Milan Cathedral
A giant Cathedral, which is located in the heart of old Milan, is one of the most paradoxical constructions of the middle Ages. Its the least can be called Gothic. But despite this, the Milan Cathedral is a remarkable and, perhaps, the best example of Italian Gothic!
Milan Cathedral is often called the "eighth wonder of the world", and for this there is reason. The Cathedral is the world's largest structure made of marble. Its length is 158 m, width – 58 m, height of Central nave – 46,8 m. the Total area of the temple is 11.3 thousand sq. m. With its height in good weather one can see the peaks of the Alps.
In terms of the Duomo repeats the Gothic building in Germany. But the German plan is combined in it with the Lombard (North Italian) façade, which is a lots of marble. Despite the Gothic appearance and huge size, the Duomo is different from other Gothic cathedrals a certain earthiness that you can't hide the many adorning its towers, turrets and spires.
