Producing Warm water through sunshine continues to be the most affordable approach to changing the actual sun's power in to warmth. Because the Photo voltaic Household Warm water (SDHW) program doesn't have grid link difficulties numerous home owners are actually creating as well as setting up their very own photo voltaic enthusiasts for any small fraction associated with the price of the industrial program. An average in a commercial sense set up SDHW program comes with an preliminary price more than $6, 000 along with a repayment amount of 10 many years. In case your useful along with resources you can construct as well as use a home made SDHW program for under $1000 that may purchase by itself within 24 months.
Photo voltaic Programs could be economical in the event that we are prepared to roll-up the masturbator sleeves as well as perform a small function therefore let us check out a few of the supplies accustomed to develop a home made extractor as well as home made warmth storage space container.
Industrial Toned Dish Enthusiasts tend to be presented within light weight aluminum along with 3/8″ copper mineral circulation pipes soldered in order to 1″ header plumbing. The copper mineral absorber dish is actually after that soldered towards the circulation pipes as well as covered having a picky layer for example Cr02 which barriers regarding 97% from the sunshine which attacks this. Regrettably the actual supplies as well as work involved with creating a home made extractor such as this aren't economical.
Home made Toned Dish Enthusiasts could be useful.. They may be produced by a number of techniques which make use of affordable light weight aluminum pulsating to create absorber dishes plus they are nearly just like copper mineral dishes soldered in order to copper mineral circulation pipes. Light weight aluminum is actually more affordable compared to copper mineral. as well as person 4″ broad light weight aluminum dishes might be stress bonded in order to copper mineral, circulation pipes or even they might be siliconed on to the serpentine PEX pipe.
The Serpentine Copper mineral Circulation Pipes can also be bonded for an light weight aluminum absorber dish rather than PEX pipe. Copper mineral you may already know performs warmth much better than plastic material, however the key reason I personally use the copper mineral pipe rather than PEX is actually which copper mineral continues to be difficult whenever this will get warm. Aspect as well as main facilitates are utilized to keep copper mineral towards light weight aluminum however this particular assistance technique isn't useful when utilizing PEX. Several anchoring screws with the light weight aluminum absorber dish are essential to keep the actual PEX serpentine pipe this in position. One more thing that is good in regards to a copper mineral circulation pipe is due to the technique associated with setting up 2 20″x 95″ light weight aluminum absorber dishes very first instead of 16 4″x40″ absorber dishes final. The whole 60′ lengthy serpentine circulation pipe is actually pre-bent within with an simple to construct twisting jig. This particular allows for the 1 action installing of the actual copper mineral to the light weight aluminum.
A continuing Light weight aluminum Absorber Dish might be created having a beating jig created using 2″x6″ planks plus some 3/8″ metal supports. Both 20″x95″ absorber dishes produced from the move associated with light weight aluminum pulsating requires under 10 min's in order to sludge hammer away. Imagine of all of the enthusiasts you can help to make along with 1 jig such as this.
The actual Absorber Dish Layer is created along with a combination of tar as well as light dark as well as nutrient mood. The actual tar seeps between your copper mineral and also the grooves in order to hole the actual circulation pipe towards the absorber dish. The actual absorbance from the tar/carbon dark blend is just somewhat under costly picky films. Sunshine can be used in order to dry up the actual tar prior to the double glazed is actually set up.
A set of 4'x8′ Serpentine Enthusiasts function within tranquility once they tend to be linked within parallel. The actual 3/8″ circulation pipe utilized in the actual extractor is actually affordable as well as simple to flex, however in the event that 2 enthusiasts had been linked within sequence the actual circulation limitation will be extreme. To treat this issue as well as help the actual plumbing related cable connections the actual serpentine enthusiasts tend to be linked within parallel.
A house Created Warmth Storage space Container could be produced from the utilized warm water container along with a copper mineral warmth trade pipe. Rather than setting up heat trade pipe within the storage space container it might be covered round the outside of the aged container as well as bonded along with cable as well as light weight aluminum foil as well as padding. An alternative solution in order to swapping warmth along with copper mineral might include using PEX, however you will need much more PEX compared to copper mineral to find the exact same warmth trade price and also the PEX might be tougher to utilize.

Missionaries Dan and Becca Vallette write:
Dear friends,
Thank you for you're prayers. We finally started the bathroom project here at Camp Pirque. The idea is to transform the existing missionary storage building into bathroom, reception office and nurses station (for the downstairs) and an office and rooms (for the new second level).
We had a very productive work team from Pennsylvania, led by Pastor Bill Park. The team came down to do some roof demolition for us. In order to start redoing first floor, we needed to take the roof off. We were very impressed with the quality of roof that we found. The wood rescued from the demolition will be recycled in other projects around the camp.
Here are some pictures that show the process of the taking off of the roof. We had to empty the maintenance building first (no small task), take off a side roof and then proceed to take off the metal sheets, and finally the trusses. We praise the Lord for safety during this process.
Thank you once again for keeping us in you're prayers.
Continue to pray for safety during this process.
More pictures to follow as we progress.
Serving Him,
Dan Vallette
Editor's Note: The GMSA family wants to express thanks to the Lord for a generous donation that was received for the Pirque Camp, shortly after this post was originally published. God is good and we thank Him for entrusting some more resources to us for His work.

A locomotive soon rounded the corner, horn blaring, but the stretched and stranded Chrysler 300 wouldn't budge. With the occupants safely out of the vehicle, the train barreled forward, smashing into the limousine and pushing it down the track at the expense of a few railroad signs. A video posted by Studio Noe Productions starts well after the Chrysler got itself stuck, and it documents the impact from just feet away. If you ever find yourself in that situation, we might recommend standing a bit farther back.
According to the operator, the train was hauling around "10,000 tons" of cargo when the accident occurred, making any kind of sudden stop all but impossible. According to the Minnesota Safety Council, the average 90-car freight train is approximately 1 mile in length, and when it's moving at 55 mph, it can take a mile or more for it to stop after the engineer applies the emergency brake.
As for the elongated 300, it held up surprisingly well. The window and door on the receiving side were heavily damaged and the body is a tad crumpled, but the real-world effects are nothing like what Hollywood would have you believe.
As for the lucky youngsters inside the car, we hope prom night goes a little more smoothly.

We all need a giggle once in awhile to lighten the mood, so here's a little something for ya. I don't remember who gave me this gem – probably an old co-worker. I was cleaning out my desk and found this faded piece of fax paper stuffed inside an old file and had a good laugh (which I needed today). No name of the author was written or even acknowledged on it. Only the date of the fax receipt showed as August 5th, 1995. I'm glad I held onto it this long, because it's fun, silly, and I can share it with you!

ANAHEIM, Calif. — A couple of weeks ago, the Bruins eeked out a 2-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. Both teams had their share of injuries heading into their second ever matchup at TD Garden.
A similar storyline awaits the injury-plagued Black and Gold – without Brad Marchand, Anders Bjork, David Krejci, Adam McQuaid, David Backes and Ryan Spooner – tonight. Across the sheet, a banged up Ducks squad will be without the services of their two top centers (Ryan Kesler and Ryan Getzlaf), their top defenseman (Cam Fowler) a few depth players (Patrick Eaves, and Ondrej Case) and their backup goaltender (Ryan Miller).
Both the Bruins and Ducks sit on the outside looking in of a playoff spot in their respective conferences. An important game awaits as both teams hope to gain a little bit of ground and get to the top eight prior to Thanksgiving.
"A lot of new faces," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said about the Ducks. "But they still play strong defensively and they're going to get to the front of the net – and the slot. Their goaltender [John Gibson] played well the other night against Tampa and their PK is solid, so they're going to be hard to play against."
Being hard to play against is something Cassidy wants to implement with his squad. For tonight, the B's need to find ways to put pucks in the net, preferably on the power play where they have just one goal in their last 16 attempts. Otherwise, the Ducks and their fourth-ranked penalty kill may very well skate to their eighth straight victory over the Black and Gold.

Tonight's storylines
– In the ongoing saga of patchworking with the four forward lines, the Bruins are forced to have another youngster step up in a top-six role. Two days after being recalled from Providence, Peter Cehlarik will fill that top-six role as he will skate with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak on the first line. Cehlarik, too, has been banged up for most of the season following a shoulder injury and only skated in six games with the P-Bruins. He made the most of his six games, however, tallying three goals and three assists. Protecting the puck and a strong forecheck are two areas that Cehlarik does pretty well already, and the Bruins could use that tonight after several turnovers proved costly during Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
– After his first career healthy scratch on Saturday, Jake DeBrusk will return to the lineup this evening and will skate on the third line with Matt Beleskey and Sean Kuraly to start. With all the injuries to the veterans, the rookie has had a difficult time trying to find his footing at a time where Cassidy is working with a banged-up lineup. With six points and a minus-10 rating in 15 games, DeBrusk's early-season slump forced him to make the move, but the 2015 first rounder says he learned a few things from watching things on Level 9.
"I learned there was a lot of things that I need to improve, and that there's a lot of things I can do to help the team," DeBrusk said following Wednesday's morning skate at the Honda Center. "It's not one thing that you can necessarily learn up there [on Level 9], but there's a lot – and you learn about yourself as well. Overall I would say it's a combo of things [I learned] and I'm learning to implement them tonight."
– The Bruins, themselves, need to implement a few things, but they won't have Krejci to help the cause at least for one more night. His return will come sooner, rather than later, though as the veteran has skated the past few days. Cassidy noted that Krejci is a game-time decision for tomorrow's tilt up the freeway in Los Angeles.

'Dad Thinks Baby Might Be Gay'
So, I read this and laughed, then was sort of saddened, then wondered whether it was "OK" to think it was funny -- that is, I wondered whether my gay friends would think it was funny.
<< Home
I don't speak for anyone else, but I think there's almost no humor that should be off limits. I thought it was pretty funny.
this, BTW, also funny:
this, BTW, also funny:
I thought it was hysterical because it's making fun of someone so stupid - like Jerry Falwell and his outcry against Tinky-Winky the Teletubby because he's purple - who gets caught up in stereotypes.
The Falwell thing was ridiculous because I can say for sure that I haven't seen Tinky Winky at any of the Gay Agenda meetings.
Looked like a good commentary on social norms and how babies aren't anything in particular until we start indoctrinating them up. And yeah, funny.Post a Comment

**Hillary Clinton is now against the trade bill she helped to formulate and promote while she was still secretary of state. The unions don't like it, Bernie probably doesn't like it, so between the unions and socialists (rock and a hard place) she just had to change. The unions carry the water even though they're dying on the vine, a shame because they can do some good things. Problem: They're as corrupt as management.
**NJ Governor Christie was talking tough this morning on TV...something about telling the Russians that either they bomb ISIS only or get out of Syria. He didn't say how they would be made to get out but, then, he has no military experience, so what else is new? Presidential candidates who talk war as glibly as that (or stupidly or whatever) need to be ignored via speech and ballot-box. Hillary called for a no-fly zone over Syria the other day, such zone now filled with Putin's helicopters and fighters. Obama reacted by saying there's a difference between running for president and being president. For once, he's right.
**The prez is slated to visit families of the recently slain in Roseburg, Oregon, Friday, meaning a trip that's almost completely cross-country—his kind of day to spend on Air Force One and get away from everything for a while. About as many folks are murdered each weekend in Chicago, his hometown, as were killed in Oregon, but he doesn't visit those families each weekend. But, then, Chicago is just a short hop, not worth the trouble. Hopefully, he won't tell the folks in Oregon that their loved ones were killed because of an eleven-minute film made by a mean American about Mohammad. Naw...he'll blame the whole thing on the NRA, the monsters, or Bush 41.
**University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino must be asking, "What's a poor coach to do these days?" The lady who just wrote the book detailing the sex orgies used at UL in one of its dormitories (a sort of publicly-financed frat house) to attract the best high-school athletes has put a huge crimp in the recruiting process. The gals were made available to even the fathers of the recruits for a little roll in the bedsheets, demeaning the boys' mothers, of course, but...hey... basketball is big in Kentucky. One wonders how many other universities do the same thing. Only the shadow knows, but some other folks might be crawling out of the woodwork soon, especially if profitable lawsuits are contemplated, as they might be by John Edwards-type lawyers out for a big caper.
**Christie said the other day that 300,000 have now died in Syria, but didn't say how he got that information, which may be nowhere near the truth. He also called for a no-fly zone (didn't say how to enforce it, as if Obama could or would...he's not that dumb), so as president he would say to Putin, "Bring it on." Crazy! Trump says to let Putin destroy ISIS and just get out of the whole mess. That makes sense. Russia left Afghanistan in a shambles at the end of the 80s, and the U.S. is leaving Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan in a shambles currently. Do these politicians have any sense of history? No! The Middle East is a place to go to get a nation's nose bloodied, with nothing to show for its efforts but loss of life and treasure.
**Old Joe may get in the race pretty soon...or not. But, puh-l-e-e-z-z-e, Joe, don't say it's because your late son wanted you to do it. That may be good for the "highly sensitive" (politically correct warm-fuzzy-huggers), but not for anyone who thinks occasionally. You would be Obama's third term, as would Hillary, but U.S. citizens are becoming acclimated to the welfare state now so even Bernie Sanders would have a chance. With you in the mix, though, the looming democrat debate would be an even finer circus. So, don't say, "It ain't so," Joe.
**ISIS honchos are more clever than a monkey. Whilst setting up the future world-ruling Caliphate in Iraq and Syria, they are driving all the Muslims possible into Europe to therefore extend the Caliphate to strong/rich/developed nations without firing a shot. Muslim women/men out-breed the Europeans by about 3:1, so there's the painless (except for the women) answer. France will be known as Little Algeria and Germany as Sharia-on-the-Rhine. They out-breed U.S. couples by about 2.5:1, so that's something to consider when 200,000 arrive, as Obama/Kerry would have it, though the newcomers might "evolve" (Obama's term) into trading having kids for the "good life," as is the case in this country.
**FLASH! In the p.m. News, UL President Ramsey and Athletic Director Jurich appeared to say they are INVESTIGATING that evil stuff the woman wrote about. They did not appear with Coach Pitino to say all three were investigating, and Pitino also appeared by himself to caterwaul about the problem. Translation: The prexy and the AD have appointed themselves as the fox to investigate the hen-house, meaning that Ricky Babe is on his own and slated as the scapegoat. Ramsey knocked down a cool $1.67 million in income this year, while Jurich manages a yearly stipend of $1.41 million. These guys are not about to give that up. Of course, Pitino makes much more...so let him take the heat and possible pink slip. Ramsey feuds with his board over his salary as a matter of course, so what else is new with the Card-house. Corruption, thy name is UL.
And so it goes.

Even with Maryland's loss at Louisville Tuesday, there is still a state institution with a perfect record in basketball. Johns Hopkins has been even more dominant on its level, Division III, than College Park has been in Division I.
The Blue Jays women (5-0) are off to the best start in the history of the program. If the men (5-0) can win at Widener tonight for only the second time since the 1960s, both will be unbeaten when they return from a lengthy holiday break Jan. 4 with a doubleheader against Carnegie-Mellon.
"The women have fulfilled their obligation," said Bill Nelson, the men's coach. "Let's see if we can."
The men are seeking their third straight berth in the NCAA tournament, while the women hope to get there for the first time in coach Nancy Blank's tenure. Both Blank and Nelson came to Hopkins in 1986, the first of several parallels between their teams.

In the U.S. there are two classic gambling destinations – Las Vegas and Atlantic City. The good news is that no matter where you live, the open road is calling and either destination can be easily reached by car. You might consider renting a classic convertible for the trek east or west, depending on which destination you choose. If you need inspiration for fun cars to buy or rent to travel in style, check out the expert reviews and pictures at Cars.com.
Las Vegas is a big city in the middle of the Nevada desert. Since the early 1900s when it was settled, it's steadily grown in population. For decades its been one of the most visited tourist destiantions in the world. A huge part of its lore is its casinos. Some of the most popular properties include the Golden Nugget, the Bellagio, Caesars Palace, the Venetian, the MGM Grand and so many more. From table games to slots, off track betting and bingo, if you're a gambling fan, Las Vegas is your Mecca. Traveling to the city is easy and major interstates deliver visitors each day from every direction. Pack up the car and head out today for a Las Vegas vacation that won't dissapoint.
Atlantic City, New Jersey is the East Coast's version of Las Vegas. The town was incorporated in the mid 1800s so it's history is a lot longer than its western cousin. This city was actually the inspiration for the game of Monopoly too just in case the street names seen eearliy familiar to you once you arrive. Atlantic City has been a gambler's haven for more than 40 years when leagalixed gampling was passed in 1976. Part of the city's appeal is it's close proximity to many large cities and such a huge proportion of the country's population. Packing up the car and heading east to roll the dice is a recipe for adcenture too.

Every ISP provider has to consider bandwidth as part of its ISP Web hosting packages, as bandwidth costs them money. Bandwidth is the water for ISP's plumbing. Bigger pipes can deliver more of it, but are more expensive to set up and maintain. Likewise, there is also a cost per volume delivered. More popular Web sites require more bandwidth. Personal sites and local sites require less bandwidth. When a site's bandwidth limits have been reached, it will usually become unavailable (or at least very slow).

My mouth was burning. Almost literally. It was so spicy! And the fact that I can't really take spicy food just made it worse. Haha.
I set off the metal detector and the security guy patted me down but then just let me go. Huh. Oh well. It's not like I'm carrying a Beretta 92F semi-auto handgun with mirrored barrel and chiseled down grip or anything (nervous tone). Haha. Seriously though, I'm not. I even left my pocket knife at home. KLIA before we left yesterday was quite empty. Normally when I go there, its quite packed. People are starting to arrive at the waiting lounge.
Can't wait to get on the plane. I love take-off. Its an amazing feeling. Too bad I didn't get a window seat.
Ooh ooh ooh! Last night was my maiden night-time flight. Haha. So much for achievement. Not sure what aircraft we got. Most likely it was a Boeing. That's the most popular passenger aircraft.
Hmm. Remind me to bring along a notebook and pen wherever I go. To take notes. Especially when travelling.
By the way, it's Father's Day.
So, in honor of the best dad I know, my Abah,

As air-conditioning units use lots of electricity, they are both expensive to run and lead to high levels of carbon emissions. Climate change is likely to lead to hotter spells during UK summers, but there are ways to keep cool without resorting to the expenditure and emissions associated with air-conditioning. The measures you can take include:
Avoiding Internal Heat Gains
There will be many sources of heat within the house, and addressing these will help to reduce the need for air conditioning. Conventional incandescent light bulbs generate light quite inefficiently, giving off waste heat in the process. Low energy fluorescent lamps (CFLs) convert electricity to light much more efficiently, so putting in these will help reduce overheating as well as saving money.
Most electrical appliances will give off heat, whether directly as part of their operation (e.g. cookers, fridges) or indirectly from transformers on the plug or in the appliance. Switching off appliances when not in use will prevent indirect heat gains. Make sure that fridges or freezers are well ventilated at the back (by the heat sink), and if possible put a freezer out in a garage or utility room so the heat given off does not go into the main house. Avoiding the use of the oven on your cooker during very hot weather will also help.
If you have a hot water cylinder, make sure it is well-insulated and that all hot water pipes are insulated against heat loss. Uninsulated pipes can easily lead to more heat loss than a modern, efficient cylinder.
Blinds can be used to reflect incoming short wave solar radiation back out as long wave radiation. However, modern windows that have 'low-e' glass (standard in most new windows) will stop long wave solar radiation going through the glass - so the blinds will be less effective. They will still reflect some of the incoming sunlight as short wave radiation, so will still have some effect.
Otherwise, external shading is the most effective. This can be window shutters or an awning or other type of overhang to prevent sunlight coming through the windows. Shelter from vegetation can be planned in advance, by growing deciduous trees, or having plants on a trellis over windows. Shutters can be difficult on modern outward opening windows, but are easier for traditional sash or sliding windows. An awning is often the simplest - it can be retracted or removed outside of summer.
A permanent overhang is another option – it needs to be carefully sized to allow in low winter sun but not high summer sun. The following table is taken from CAT's 'Energy Saving House' book, and gives advice on calculating the optimum roof overhang. You may need to check with local planners before adding external shading, especially in designated areas like National Parks.
Insulate and Ventilate
As well as keeping a house warm in cold weather, decent levels of insulation will also keep it cool in the summer. It will complement the other measures outlined here, as once you have avoided internal heat gains and brought in cool air overnight, a well-insulated building will keep the this cool air inside the building.
Opening windows during the day will bring refreshing air in, but this incoming warm air will gradually heat up the building. It is best not to leave windows open if rooms are empty - but this needs to be in conjunction with some shading to prevent heat gain through the glass. In an occupied room, opening a window for just a few minutes will bring some fresh air in.
This works best in houses that have lots of 'thermal mass' - which means thick stone or brick walls, or exposed solid floors. These materials will take a while to either heat up or cool down, so in summer you want to keep them cool as much as possible. So use the above methods to minimise gains during the day, and ventilate at night to allow the mass of the buildings to cool down as much as possible. For optimum night cooling you would need to open about 25% of the total window area, while opening only 5 to 15% during the day. Roof windows are a very good way to provide secure ventilation overnight.

Having pets is an eye-opener for children living in comfortable suburbia. Pets are great teachers for the subjects of life, love, and loss.
As well as the two dogs, our four guinea pigs (two male and two female) were part of our family life. The kids – especially the three boys – were very fond of our "environmentally friendly lawn mowers" (as their sister called them). They were also great therapy animals, helping to calm distressed or anxious children and providing quiet comfort and black jelly beans during dark times.
Sadly, Harry died last summer. He was one of the original piggies, and his loss occasioned much grief for the boys. We were away at the time, and they'd been unable to say "Good-bye". So when I had to take Brownie to the vet recently after he had somehow injured his legs (or so I thought), I made sure that the two oldest boys said "Goodbye" – just in case.
Train Wombat, with an admirable degree of self-awareness and (perhaps) prescience, declined to come to the vet with me. He commented that he found going to the vet's "hard". Littlest Wombat, however, being the David Attenborough of the family, wanted to come to look after Brownie.
In retrospect, perhaps that was not the best decision.
At the vet
The vet gently held our little fellow and tested the nerve responses in his legs. Nothing. Then he noticed that Brownie's fur was stained and dirty with urine. Not only had he lost the use of his legs, but also his bowels. It suddenly hit me – he hadn't injured his legs, but his back. The poor little chap was paralysed.
When going out to feed the guinea pigs the previous evening, Train Wombat had found Brownie stuck under the wire run surrounding his cage. (We kept the boys and girls in separate runs. Before we realised that we had both boys and girls, we had unexpectedly ended up with 10 guinea pigs!) The boys, however, kept determinedly trying to escape to see the girls. Ahh – the call of nature… In this case, sadly, it was to prove fatal.
The vet was very caring, and set out the options, as much for Littlest Wombat's benefit as for me. Little could be done – euthanasia was really the only option. A spinal injury is hard enough to manage in humans, let alone guinea pigs. The vet explained to Littlest Wombat that the kindest thing to do was to put him to sleep. In a couple of days, he explained to my distraught son, Brownie would get really sick because he would get infected and his fur would become sore and itchy. He couldn't move properly, he couldn't control his bowels. "You wouldn't want him to suffer, would you?" he asked. "And he can't really use a wheelchair."
This was too much for Littlest Wombat. Suddenly overwhelmed with grief and anger, he shouted at me.
"You tell me that you should never give up!" he yelled accusingly. "You say it's important to try – and you're not even trying! You're just a murderer!" He sobbed uncontrollably.
Explanations were useless. Nothing either the vet or I could say could bring comfort to my distraught son, or quieten his wild cries. All he could see was a pet who he loved, alive, and adults who were proposing to take that life. I hugged him hard, and held him back as the vet took Brownie into another room and ended his suffering.
"You can fix the bill later," the vet told me quietly, as Littlest Wombat cradled Brownie in his arms, a conflict of emotions. Grief over Brownie, anger towards me and deep confusion over the irreconcilable concepts of always trying and not giving up, yet encountering a situation where trying would not change the ultimate outcome.
Grief must run its course
All the way home, Littlest Wombat stormed and raged at me, his supply of tears seemingly inexhaustible, as he cuddled Brownie's warm, inert body close. I bit my tongue, and kept my replies to a minimum. I couldn't totally ignore everything he was saying – that just felt rude – but I knew that logic would only further inflame his anguish.
When we arrived home, Train Wombat met us. I told him the sad news. He was very distressed too. However, he understood in a way that his youngest brother didn't. I was so proud of my oldest boy. Caught up now in his own grief, he had room in his heart to comfort his brother. They sat side by side on the couch, Train Wombat's arm around his brother, both stroking Brownie – so confusingly warm and lifelike. Together, they mourned the cute little creature who had brought them so much joy.
Pets are rarely "just" pets. When Harry the guinea pig died, Littlest Wombat informed me solemnly that it was like losing a brother. Losing Harry meant as much to him as one of my own brothers dying would have meant to me. There was no point in disagreeing. It wouldn't have helped. So I knew from experience that it would take a while for him to deal with Brownie's death.
Then my thoughts turned to the next morning. Wednesday. School. And the one day of the week when I had a paying job.
Sometimes, you just have to pick yourself up and keep going.
I didn't want Littlest Wombat at home, mourning. I felt it was important for him to go to school and have his mind distracted for at least some of the time. And I needed to go to work. Train Wombat, however, was a different matter. We knew already that he was feeling under stress. How would this play out?
Again, he showed great self-awareness, saying he just didn't feel he could cope at school if something went wrong. I was grateful that he shared this. It meant that the following morning, I could let him be, instead of having the anxiety of a "school refusal" morning and not knowing the cause.
The day after
After school that day, Train Wombat was very attentive to Littlest Wombat, sitting next to him on the couch when he came home, and watching a television show that usually, he scorns his brother for watching. Later that evening, they chose a place to bury Brownie and he was gently laid to rest under a tree where he loved to hide during his more successful escape attempts.
When the right thing might be the wrong thing
Sometimes I still wonder whether I did the right thing in taking my youngest to the vet with me. My pragmatic side says that death is a part of the life cycle. We shouldn't avoid it, but instead, learn strategies to help us through it. I remember the sadness I felt when my pet rabbit died. And yet… This child is very sensitive, and literal. I had thought his sensitivity and desire to relieve his pet's suffering would triumph. Instead, that love prevented him from being able to let go.
Our dog Morgan is ageing. One day, there will be another visit to the vet. I have long known that Dancing Wombat will find this difficult to understand, and I have been slowly trying to teach her about ageing, illness and the finality of death. The preparation for her little brother will need to be equally slow, sustained and gentle.
It's never going to be easy to say "good-bye". And ASD adds a whole other layer of complexity. But perhaps, if we are all better prepared, we can let go with grief and understanding, instead of anger and confusion. I'm just still trying to work out exactly how to do that.
Feel free to share things that have worked for you, or things that haven't.
Until next time, may your Wombatting be worry-free.

Revitalize Your Nonprofit's Brand Image
Just recently I was a part of internal discussions of a 30 years old professional body where best brains from different disciplines mulled over the need for 're-branding' the organisation to attract more members, and improve participation in various events. The brain-storming did brought out some key issues of repositioning the organisation, engaging families of members in activities, getting involved in social activities, and even redefining the vision statement.
Well, when I asked the participating members about "what made them join the organisation?", the response itself laid bare the inconsistencies between expectations of members from their organisation and what they got.
Surprisingly many professionals were looking for wanting to look for self-actualisation needs whereas the association was focusing more on doing activities that were not addressing those needs.
The mission or the vision, despite being there, was not shared with members, and nor the new inductions ever got the feel of it. The absence of long term goals did not engage the members who could feel themselves a part of the organisation. No shared goals. No short-term or long-term goals. No attempt to institutionalise the operations. No plans to raise the corpus that kept the activities minimal and frugal lest they overshot the available kitty.
Unlike the commercial world, where buyers and sellers maintain a well-defined relationship, in an NGO or a professional management body, the relationship between its members, and other stakeholders has to be nurtured with shared convictions.
Ken Burnett in his book Zen of Fundraising (Jossey Bass 2006) defines nonprofit's brand as "the set of ideas, image, feelings, beliefs, and values that are carried around in a person's head."
That's true for every brand, commercial or otherwise. It is the set of perceptions about an organisation that every individual carries in his/head, and emotional connects with the brand or the values that it portrays.
In an era, when an individual has numerous choices available to address individual's emotional context, a nonprofit has to identify its niche, have clear goals, and excite its members to be a part of a much larger mission through collective participation.
To reposition and strengthen your brand, follow the CorePR's Branding Rules:
a. Define your vision. What is your key mission! What is our promise?
b. Communicate unified, standardised message
c. What do you want to achieve in the next one, two, five or ten years?
d. What are the values that you wish your members to imbibe and portray?
e. How would you like your organisation to be perceived amongst your stakeholders?
f. Identify your key stakeholders. Understand each segment's personal preferences, needs, etc. Most importantly, the first and foremost key stakeholders of a nonprofit are its members.
g. Customise your deliverables to meet the need of each stakeholder.
h. Innovate. How different is your organisation in terms of its deliverables?
i. Do conduct periodic communication and social audit to assess whether the needs of the stakeholders are being addressed effectively?
j. How effectively we are using ICT to keep everyone fully informed and involved?
k. Leverage technology and entertainment as additional plug-ins to customise delivery of your products/services or rather more importantly, your brand promise.
l. Nurture your nonprofit through consistently innovative yet engaging fund-raising ideas. The membership subscriptions or casual donations are not enough to maintain sustained development of a nonprofit. It must be built into regular activity plan.
m. Lastly, keep your brand dynamic, relevant and vibrant to achieve sizable mind-share in the minds of its stakeholders.

In determining the safety of foundations the assumption is usually made that the pressure distribution on the ground, in general unknown, is closely approximated by a constant one. Mathematically, the problem is thereby reduced to finding the components of stress and displacement in a half-space due to a uniform pressure on a portion of its plane boundary. The present paper contains an investigation of this problem for the case of loading over an area bounded by an ellipse. Two of the results are: (a) On the normal to the loading area through its center, the two principal stresses in planes parallel to the undeformed surface, compressive on and near the surface, become tensile within a depth smaller than the length of the corresponding principal axis of the loading area; (b) the normal deflection of the surface is greater at the extremity of the minor axis of the loading area than at the extremity of the major axis, the difference between the two values increasing with the ellipticity of the bounding curve.

A brief introduction of translation-invariant kernel based methods, aka radial basis function methods, for function approximation and PDEs will be given. These methods do not require meshes, but in return, we have to deal with highly ill-conditioned linear systems. In this talk, we will introduce an adaptive algorithm that selects appropriate column subspaces that ensure linear independency.
Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations are nonlinear partial differential equation that arise as optimality conditions of stochastic control problems. HJB equations often possess a variety of difficulties, e.g., discontinuous coefficients, vanishing viscosity, unknown boundary conditions, etc. One particular issue is the handling of non-existing second-order derivatives. In this presentation we focus on the discretization of HJB equations with a fully implicit timestepping scheme based on a semi-Lagrangian approach. We discuss the algorithmic idea in the context of a finite difference approximation and present numerical examples.

"Deputy speaker's dream about Serb-Albanian relations"
"I would insist that tourism is a significant field of cooperation because I have found that a lot of Serbs, who have already been in Albania, say: 'It is great there. There is great hospitality and a comfort situation. And the seaside is fine and you can see a lot of cultural heritages'."Genc MllojaSource: Albanian Daily News
"You cannot imagine how they felt about Albania. On the other hand there are no reasons why more Albanians can come to Serbia, to its mountains and lakes, fishing there, and we do fish a lot," said Serb Deputy Speaker Comic.
"I have a dream about the cooperation of Albanians and Serbs in the region because I can really see that we can have the best of them," the National Assembly Deputy Speaker of Serbia, Gordana Comic has told Albanian Daily News in an exclusive interview on the sidelines of a two-day forum entitled "Albania and Serbia towards a common future in the European Union" which has recently been held in Tirana. The number two of the Serb Parliament listed a lot of fields of cooperation between Serbia and Albania, paying special attention to tourism as it, according to her, could promote the people-to-people exchanges.
Speaking of the Berlin process involving the Western Balkan countries, including Albania and Serbia, Mrs. Comic said that project is on what will happen in the future, rather then what has happened before. "This is the European way, and, in my point of view, this is the very good thing in the Berlin process because we can now rely even more on Europe for all the good things that they have done for us in the previous decades," she said. In a reference to the EU sponsored dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina she said that "establishing dialogue with Kosovo has not been easy, but we did it."
Further on Mrs. Comic was optimistic on the future of the Western Balkans. "There are some commonalities where we can put some money and efforts and have as a response the expectation of the Western Balkan people to live in a better daily basis. So I expect nothing less than awareness in the Western Balkans and we should go after such an expectation," said the Serb Deputy Speaker in the interview which follows:
- You have been so enthusiastic about the relations between Serbia and Albania. What makes you so hopeful and positive on such a trend?
The narrative and nature about politicians and people that I meet on daily basis in Tirana and Belgrade lead me to the conclusion that there is any single reason for Albanians and Serbs not to have progress in their bilateral ties and not to surprise positively people throughout Europe and the world on the trends of the excellent relations in economy, culture, diplomacy, and European integration between our two countries and people.
It is not that anyone presses us to do so, but because I hold that we have realized which is our common future, and who should do that to achieve this target. Our history and culture show that we have many things in common. My experience, as far as this aspect is concerned, has shown that it is enough to be self-conscious that 'we can do it' for our common future.
- Following this line, Mrs. Deputy Speaker how would you assess the current level of the bilateral relations between Albania and Serbia?
I can tell you that some fifteen years are a short time in one's human life. You cannot have a grandchild grown up during that span of time. Yes, I can confess that I could not tell you in 2008 that the Albanian and Serbian Prime Ministers, Edi Rama and Alexandar Vucic, would meet and find a common language on agreements and cooperation, that there would be a huge amount of cooperation which, for example, led to the common Chamber of Commerce, that we will be coming from Belgrade to Tirana, and vice versa, and that there would be so many other cooperative things between our two people, Albanians and Serbs. Back in 2008 you would have said: "Come on!" And I would have answered. The great Martin Luther King did not start his famous speech having a nightmare, but rather having a dream. And I have a dream about the cooperation of Albanians and Serbs in the region because I can really see that we can have the best of them.
- Your Excellency, which are some of the fields that you think more efforts should be done to broaden the political and economic cooperation between the two countries?
Economy and tourism for the beginning and maybe raw materials and cooperation in agriculture. I would have liked to see more and more deep and great commitment of both sides on the basis of agreements signed between Belgrade and Tirana in these fields. And also in the field of security. We, Serbia, have offered an agreement, which we have done the same even with non- NATO member countries, to assure people in the respective regions and worldwide that we are committed to develop peace and security cooperation and that we definitely do not want to be involved in any kind of conflicts and clashes exempt if we are commonly called and invited to help other people for the establishment of peace. Such fields of cooperation are natural to be improved.
But I would insist that tourism is a significant field of cooperation because I have found that a lot of Serbs, who have already been in Albania, say: "It is great there. There is great hospitality and a comfort situation. And the seaside is fine and you can see a lot of cultural heritages." You cannot imagine how they felt about Albania. On the other hand there are no reasons why more Albanians can come to Serbia, to its mountains and lakes, fishing there, and we do fish a lot. In short just to see Serbia, to see Belgrade and why not what Serbs think of Albania. We should have a tourism agreement and let us do it. As a conclusion we should see opportunities in different fields, as I mentioned above, like economy, trade exchanges, tourism, culture, in this way we can see how things develop.
- Your Excellency, I have had the privilege of having an exclusive interview for Albanian Daily News with your Prime Minister Ana Brnabic on the sidelines of an informal forum on the Western Balkans initiative held in the western port city of Durres, Albania, on August 26, 2017. What do you think on the progress made so far in that so called Berlin process launched by German Chancellor Angela Merkel in August 2014?
The Berlin Process is a mechanism that Europe invented to pass the crisis within Europe itself as it entered the phase of crisis, but without losing the beauty of the 'European idea'. The crisis they entered including economy, enlargement, and other problems, have been evidence of a crisis of identity. Europe is not about a common market. Europe is about people just out of conflicts, sitting at the tables of negotiations, and that is a good future for us. This is the beauty of the European idea. Just having that in mind Europe has offered us the Berlin Process with the idea that 'you, local guys, have this offer and you can work on that basis and we will help seeing what good can come out of that process'.
Certainly, we have warmly welcomed the Berlin process and we are working together. I strongly think that these six countries, working together on whatever the outcome may be, is a good sign for the region because we saw those six countries disputing and arguing for such a long period of time. And it all has been about what has happened and what has been in the ancient times or the recent ones of our history. But the Berlin Process is on what will happen in the future, not what has happened before.
This is the European way, and, in my point of view, this is the very good thing in the Berlin Process because we can now rely even more on Europe for all the good things that they have done for us in the previous decades. In every times of crisis we can say: "Here we are, the six of us, and we have learned our lesson, we know our mistakes and now we will help you to get over your crisis." And Serbs and Albanians are involved in the process within the European Union because it is our future.
- And in this frame, how do you see the EU- sponsored dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina?
It is a very, very warmly welcomed process. Establishing dialogue with Kosovo has not been easy. But we did it. Back in 2009, when we, in the United Nations, together with 27 countries co- signed the resolution on transferring all powers to the future of the relations of Serbia and Kosovo to the hands of the European Union, it has been hard times for politicians. But somebody had to do it! This means the determination of politicians in Serbia not to transfer political problems to the next generation. It is something that should not have been done. If it is comes to the next generation, let them have their own experience. But it will not be my work in politics if I transfer problems of my fathers, grandfathers to the next generation. So dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina looked totally impossible at the beginning. But with the good will of the people and the EU's help, and I might say thanks to good points of Albania, we all realize that the reality cannot be denied and erased. It might be erased with chances of having common good reality.
It is hard, it will be hard. But the question is that the reality should take place and as a matter of fact it is going on. And if anyone, for example in 2008, could have said Serb and Kosovo leaders could meet and shake hands, most of the people would have said that 'you are lunatic'. And I would say yes I am and that would happen. We should have descent life in Kosovo and Serbia, it is not what it has been, it is a decision about the continuity. We should invent our future, and this is what we are doing. Of course, it needs courage, but we both should have the right courage to do that.
- In your view, how can media cooperate more efficiently to serve the improvement of the bilateral relations and especially to promote people-to-people exchanges between Albania and Serbia?
Media have a real problem with prejudices, stereotypes, and with some people being biased on each other. There are Serbs that are biased on Albanians, like the vice versa. So if you are a man of media, you have the real challenge to break these prejudices and fight people who are biased. It is true that it is hard. It is easier to break an atom in physics, but it is the contrary with regard to prejudices. But there is a way to fight them.
Let me give an example. It is true that there are few reports on the good Serbian-Albanian cooperation. If you show a picture of a Serb marrying an Albanian or the vice versa, if you show about Serb students coming here, if you show an Albanian company coming to Belgrade, if you show Serbian tourists coming to Durres or wherever to Albania, some would say that it is just one case. But if you keep showing cases one after another, all of the sudden it comes out that it is not one bad case in one million, but one good case in one million. It takes time, and media needs us, politicians, to support you, and that can be done by not giving bad news to you. So it is a common work of politicians and the media to introduce the good news.
- Your Excellency, in a nutshell how do you evaluate the situation in the Western Balkans?
Things have changed in the Western Balkans after the dismantling of former Yugoslavia as most of the regional countries belonged to the former. Once upon a time, we used to have a common market, common culture, multi-cultural education system. We used to have connections, we used to marry each-other, we used to have commonalities during the time of Socialism. And as a matter of fact we did not like it. So we have to invent our way for the people in our region to have standards to live in a descent way, not to repeat the idea of what former Yugoslavia used to be. So I think that is where people should invest in and that is what they are doing.
My personal assessment is that we are quite near to a level of awareness that all the countries will say that it is okay: let us make a common agenda. There are things that we can do together and all our countries can benefit from them, and in the meantime all the countries can be independent and sovereign, whatever they want to call them. But there are some commonalities where we can put some money and efforts and have as a response the expectation of the Western Balkan people to live in a better daily basis. So I expect nothing less than awareness in the Western Balkans and we should go after such an expectation!

Dell recently announced its seventh annual Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network Summit, an exclusive invitation-only conference for female entrepreneurs globally, will convene June 27-28, 2016 in Cape Town, South Africa.
The Summit will bring together more than 150 of the top female entrepreneurs, business leaders, media and Dell partners around the theme of "innovating for a future-ready world."
Innovation is crucial for staying competitive – now and in the future – in an exponentially changing world. Innovation allows once intractable problems to be tackled with creative, sustainable solutions that save lives, enable human potential and bring hope to millions.
Major advances in technology allow entrepreneurs to innovate and share at an unprecedented scale, all over the globe. Entrepreneurs tap into these opportunities, grow businesses, create jobs and develop sustainable, scalable solutions.
Dell calls this "future ready," and is committed to helping the entrepreneurs of the future create lasting value and impact. The 2016 DWEN Summit will unite women entrepreneurs and give them the power and tools to create prosperity, stability and opportunity in every country around the globe.
"The role women play in driving the global economy is becoming more and more foundational to the health and well-being of our world," said Karen Quintos, chief marketing officer at Dell. "Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network is all about fostering relationships and providing gateways to the resources women founders need to succeed. There's no better place than South Africa, a burgeoning center of entrepreneurship, to have these important conversations."
The conference was previously hosted in the emerging entrepreneurial hotbeds of Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, New Delhi, Istanbul, Austin, and most recently, Berlin. Speakers at this year's conference will include leading female CEOs, founders and thought leaders to be announced prior to the event.
Why South Africa?
With the world's youngest and fastest-growing population, Africa has become known as the world's largest source of untapped talent. With half of its 1 billion population less than 21 years old, Africa has the youngest population in the world today and it is expected that by 2040, half of the world's young people will live there. Based upon Dell's Global Women Entrepreneur Leaders Scorecard and the research put forth over the past few years, South Africa and the US proved to be the only two countries out of the 31 countries examined that actively promote growth-oriented female entrepreneurs through gender public procurement policies. Africa leads the world in the number of women starting businesses, with almost equal levels of male and female entrepreneurs. In fact, in countries like Ghana, Nigeria and Zambia, women entrepreneurs are the majority.
While there are many economic, cultural, political and technological differences across Africa, the continent is home to one of the world's 10 fastest-growing economies and holds extraordinary promise as an incubator of the next generation of tech talent. Widely considered one of the leading areas for young entrepreneurs, South Africa has set the stage for international success stories and it is said that by 2025, its GDP should grow at least 5 to 6 percent, matching that of leading economies such as Sweden, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
Global Research
At the Cape Town DWEN Summit, Dell will announce the findings of a new study on women's entrepreneurship. The current 2015 Women Entrepreneur Leaders Index is a global study that measures high-potential female entrepreneurship based on individual aspirations, business environments and entrepreneurial ecosystems. Created in partnership with top researchers and experts, the new 2016 research will act a diagnostic tool for countries to expand opportunities for women entrepreneurs.
About the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network
As the visionary outcome of a true entrepreneur, Dell is committed to help power the success of entrepreneurs by developing technology solutions that enable human potential, help their businesses grow and thrive. Through the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network, Dell supports and nurtures a community of female entrepreneurs by providing access to technology, networks and capital. Learn more at dell.com/women.

Their extreme gluttony that requires us as a nation to consume energy until it destroys the very world we seek to create. Our personal responsibility unparalleled as we refuse to sacrifice our lifestyles even to save the very planet.
Their greedy love of money above all other values, which gives rise to the capitalist causes so often mistaken for liberty, and which are ultimately guilty of our economic downfall.
The artful way they elevate laziness, infecting our children with the conceit that they are victims, robbing them of their own responsibility for their education, and giving their parents a pass for their failures to educate our youth.
Their manipulations of our jealous insecurities, that elevate envy of those with wealth and beauty, as we ignore our own character and integrity, to watch in spectacle as the mighty fall. Only in Paris would such decadent propaganda be allowed, yet thus they promote the repulsive to distract us all.
They have forsaken our forefathers wisdom, using disaster and terror to justify their cause. Their wrath, in the face of shallow crimes, leads us all into endless seas of suffering, injustice, and wars.
Which bring me to this humble point, the worst of their sins is pride. Ignoring that all men are created equal, they embrace an unspoken elitism, claiming the divine rights of kings, as superiors, based upon a flawed philosophy of economic righteousness. As if the compound interests of their father's misdeeds can be used to justify some kind of ability in themselves. They secretly fear honest competition with their brothers, and hide behind gates, attempting to imprison the world.
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

Literally millions of children are killed or mortally wounded on Ireland's roads each year. Often, in a tragic twist of irony, by those who were once children themselves. A new
report by the Irish Society of the Prevention of Death, Cruelty and Other Such Misfortunes; has recommended a wardrobe full of changes to reduce, reuse and recycle this harvest of
carnage. Speaking to an invited audience of journalists and other reporters, Irish Minister of Improvements Timaous, Timás, Teimous O'Haulihan, Tim O'Sullivan, had this to say.
"Safety has always been a priority for this government, particularly the safety of children. Specifically cute children. The kind of kids any one of us might like to imagine burping,
or reading a story to, or kissing away their little boo boos. Obviously we hope that unattractive children survive too, but let's face it, they're unlikely to get any prettier and if someone has to die it might as well be them."
The ISFTPODCAOSM plan calls for the creation of a new body to consider the shape and pattern of Irish roads, some of which are very bendy indeed. The report also recommends
a number of simple ways in which Irish road users can decrease fatalities, and beat the rap should one occur.
1. Slow down as you pass drivers approaching from the opposite direction – roll down your window and ask about hazards ahead. Don't be rude, trade a few plesantries about the wife,
job and weather. In time you may become friends.
2. Make your car as dull and unremarkable as possible. Children like sparkly things, and will often crawl towards them when playing on the road.
3. If you do see a child approaching at speed, steer around it. Most collisions can be avoided if the objects involved never strike one another.
4. Always ask yourself, is that an articulated lorry ahead? Or an enormous truck shaped child? Either way, avoid.
5. At all times, know where your children are. This will help identify them in the event of a fatal collision which rips off their face.
With a little luck, and a great deal of care, we can work to make Ireland's roads safe for our children, our children's children, their children and perhaps even the children of our children's children's children. Just so long as they're pretty.

going to get a two-for-one deal today. first up.
THIS is the reason i am usually 4 minutes late to work. instead of going to bed at a normal time and waking up bright eyed and blah blah blah.. i choose to sit up and work on photos or watch cheers reruns (ohh how i do love a good sam and diane episode) then in the morning think "5 more minutes won't hurt..." and then it's 5 more 5 more. check my email, look at new work online, write a blog... check the time and say OH SHIT, I HAVE TO LEAVE IN 10 MINUTES. throw on the first shirt i find (hopefully not my "more cowbell" shirt) and rush out the door. whilst driving like a speed racer, i decide i need coffee on the way. then pull in and think - man if i just would have gotten up at a normal time.
someday i will learn.

The Grunthal Red Wings scored five unanswered goals en route to a 5-3 victory over the Ste. Anne Aces Monday night in game one of the Carillon Senior Hockey League's best-of-seven final.
"We played a pretty good game all the way through," said Red Wings captain Jeff Penner. "They came out pretty good. The start was tough but once we got rolling we seemed to be okay. I was proud of our defense."
Goals by Miguel Rondeau and Justin Tremblay staked the defending champion Aces to a 2-0 lead but Grunthal's work on the power play drew the homeside even.
Kyle Lundale and Ryan Frykas scored four minutes apart midway through the middle frame and Landon Plett's even strength goal at 14:24 of the period gave the Red Wings their first lead of the game.
The turning point of game one was the Aces failure to beat Grunthal goaltender Edwin Albert when the visitors enjoyed a seven-minute power play after Wings forward Tim Plett received a two-minute slashing minor and a five minute major for goalie interference with 29 seconds left in the second period.
"It's always tough starting a period on the power play, that's not an excuse but it's a fact," said Ste. Anne captain Steph Pattyn. "We just weren't ready and they beat us to pucks. We couldn't really regroup through the whole six-and-a-half minutes."
Lundale and Jason Frykas scored in the third period for the Red Wings.
Aces forward Keith Grondin made it a 5-3 game when he scored with 5:19 left in regulation.
Ste. Anne wouldn't get any closer.
"Second period we took a couple of shifts off and they tied the game and the momentum started that way," said Aces coach Kevin Lansard. "We got to keep our feet moving and we got to be prepared to play 60 minutes. We know it's going to be a long series - if we don't play 60 minutes, it won't."
Game two goes Friday (8 p.m.) in Ste. Anne and the series returns to Grunthal for game three on Sunday (7 p.m.).
"They're a good team and they're not going to quit," said Lundale. "It's only one game. It's a seven game series. We're going to enjoy this a little bit but we need to get ready for Friday. It's going to be a battle."

Single and love music?...
Ok, shoot me down for the shamless plug, but as we've got our stall at Truck again this year, figured it was a good time...
We are completely FREE and are not just a dating website. Here you can search to find other users who like the same as you and find a mate to go to a gig with, get a like-minded date, or just leave it to fate!
Our aim is that no one goes to a gig on their own ever again...
I am a Male looking for a Female
Aged between 18 and 30
Who is searching for
Favourite Genre Rock
Favourite Band U2
Within 1 miles of Postcode W12
It's Sarky!
because youi're so overrun with men
as to a) be able to laugh and b) be picky?
it's a nice idea, like DiS but with organisation!
is the enemy of romance !
although from your description
I guess it's not just for single people, if it's people who want gig friends?
True, not just for singles
but a big explanation was too long for the subject line!
I wouldn't say we're that organised yet as its only a hobby, but we're working on a site redesign before we really advertise it.
Worth a try i figure!
Awww how lovely.
It'll be a hit here, I bet yowt.
Hi musicdatingdotcom!
"I'm looking for:
Davo from Pull Tiger Tail
Or boys that look very fucking similar"
A friend and I have been talking about
setting this up too. We have a waaaaaaaay better name though, so watch your backs!
(and all the best as we are probably to lazy to actually do it)
Will sell you the name for £100k if you like. I guarantee it will improve your member numbers by 150%.
Thanks hun!
good idea
i'd be way too embarrassed to sign up though
I think
if you played down the dating slightly and upped the meeting people with similar taste etc. it would remove some stigma
Tis prob true
but finding a cool domain is getting tough these days! Had to buy MD.com off a US guy.
This is a really good idea
I'd probably sign up to this if I was single and borderline desperate.
Which, as it happens, I am. So yay for me!
its notoriously tricky to work out sarcastic responses in print (sarkyfox excluded), that wasn't as bad a thread as I'd feared!
Anywho, our stall will prob be near the Disco Shed at Truck, and we have plenty of free condoms to dish out, so come and say hey!

9 Which is the competent authority to turn to in cases of disputes and other legal issues?
It is generally accepted that at international level, the competent court is determined according to the same regulations as those which define territorial jurisdiction in national law. Depending on the circumstances, other factors may also come into play, such as those conferring jurisdiction, place of residence (place of principal establishment), nationality, location of property, etc.).
In the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, a divorce or judicial separation ruling generally also orders the liquidation and distribution of the community property, and appoints a notary to handle this.
In principle, jurisdiction in terms of matrimonial property regimes is independent of the location of the immovable property. As a result, the Luxembourg courts may also order the sale by auction of property located abroad.
If the notary appointed is unable to reconcile the parties, he/she will draw up a report detailing the parties' respective claims and refer them to the court.

I recently discovered the fabulous work of U.K artist Jane Foster. I was instantly attracted to her retro-folky style, her bold use of colour and B & W imagery. She is a clever lady who appears to be good at everything! Take a peek at her blog and browse through her older posts to see her amazing collection of vintage goodies and the interior of her super cute home. Definitely my kinda style.

When venturing out to find a percolator bong for sale you might notice things aren't as straight forward as the good old days, not only are you greeted with a choice between materials but also modifications such as precoolers, additions such as percolators and even oil domes for the new concentrates era!
Different Types of Percolator Bongs
It can get very confusing for a newcomer, so I've put together this guide on percolator bongs to help people understand what a percolator does and how they work.
There are so many different types of percolators available, but the most popular types of percolators are:
- Tree Percolator
- Inline Diffuser
- Honeycomb Disc
- Shower Percolator
Why do Bongs have Percolators and what are the benefits
The purpose of a percolator is to smooth and further cool down the smoke, each percolator does this in a slightly different way. You can find these percolator bongs at nearly any bong outlet online. Honeycombs force the smoke to split into hundreds of separate sections as it passes through the disc. The other types of percs do this too but normally the smoke only gets split into around ten different sections, but the benefit of the others is the extra surface area.
With tree and shower percolators you can normally fill them up with water, so a long with the percolator further cooling the smoke you get an extra mini water chamber, which helps to remove even more tars from your smoke. Also with these two types of percs, the smoke has to pass over a greater surface area of the glass, so if your water pipe has ice inside you will notice the surface area of the glass is a lower temperature than normal, helping to cool the smoke even more!
Hey Mister! Tell me more!
Woah, slow down there Jimmy. Ok, well currently for sale there are Drums, Frits, Turbine Discs, Spiral Diffusers and Domes. There is no limit to the intricate designs glower blowers are coming out with these days, which explains why they are getting so popular these days. Even old retired workers are using bongs! Percolators are not just found in bongs, but also accessories such as precoolers. A precooler is an additional water chamber that uses a glass on glass joint to connect to the bong, they often incorporate percolators inside their water chamber, painted in every colour you can imagine. They are a great way to personalize your bong while bringing the user a way cooler smoke.

Data released by Elevate's Center for the New Middle Class points to several factors which can affect the financial health of non-prime Americans defined as those with sub-700 credit scores.
- One in three experienced an income change of at least 25 percent in the last year
- More than half report some month-to-month income volatility in the last year
- They are 20 percent more likely to have three or more people in their household
- They are twice as likely to have elderly parents living with them
- They are more than twice as likely to be focused on short-term financial matters than long-term ones
- One in three say they are worse off than they were in childhood
"Nonprime Americans are now the majority, with 160 million people living in households with credit scores below 700 and only 150 million living in prime households," executive director of Elevate's Center for the New Middle Class Jonathan Walker said.
"They are savvy but credit challenged, and macroeconomic factors such as income fluctuations may be more of a reflection of their day-to-day situation rather than their fiscal responsibility.
"It's important that policymakers, consumer advocates, media, academics, and the public at large understand this group of consumers to help determine what will best serve their needs."

In 2000, the American Psychiatric Association formed a Task Force to revise the guidelines on Psychiatric Services in Jails and Prisons. Paul Applebaum, in his writings on ethics and forensic psychiatry, suggested that ethics in the correctional system differ from those in the community. There are situations that arise in prison that have no clear cut standards on a proper decision to breach or not to breach confidentiality regarding something a prisoner has shared confidentially; Standard 4.01, Maintaining Confidentiality. It is suggested by some experts that psychologists inform inmates that in certain situations, there is no guarantee that confidentiality will be kept, Standard 4.02, Discussing the Limits of Confidentiality. This approach serves two purposes: 1) to cut down on information being shared that would lead to a breach; and 2) promote trust that if a breach is necessary, the inmate is not surprised.
In his article, "Decisions to Breach Confidentiality When Prisoners Report Violations of Institutional Rules", Dr. Pinta states, "It is useful to categorize decisions to breach confidentiality as either treatment driven or security driven." Pinta explains that although this seems to oversimplify these issues, it assists in cutting through the moral dillemas with regard to the dual roles (correctional officer and security, and psychologist and treatment). For example, a security driven decision would be if an inmate shares that he is going to start a prison riot, already has hatched the plan, and has engaged numerous inmates to participate, the decision to breach confidentiality is clear as it will endanger the entire prison population. Additionally, if an inmate shares that he is planning to kill his cellmate due to on-going differences, and is in possession of a weapon, the psychologist has no choice but to go to prison officials with this information; Standard 4.05b (3), Disclosures, as well as the possibility of Tarasoff laws being applicable in this case (vary by state). A treatment based decision might be if an inmate shares personal sexual encounters that are on-going in exchange for cigarettes. There is no threat to security of the facility or any specific person, therefore, the psychologist must adhere to Standard 4.01, Maintaining Confidentiality.
Pinta goes on to say in his article that there are numerous gray areas for which there is no right or wrong decision to breach confidentiality. Some examples he uses are possessing a makeshift weapon, possessing/using marijuana, selling drugs, and having sex with a staff member. With the latter situation, I question whether or not this area is truly gray and if it would possibly fall under Standard 1.03, Conflicts Between Ethics and Organizational Demands; or possibly 3.05, Multiple Relationships, although correctional staff members are not held to the APA Code of Ethics.
Although correctional psychologist are on a slippery slope with regard to ethical situations, making sound decisions and thinking things through in steps, while adhering to the APA Principles and Code of Ethics, is the key to delivering services in the correctional setting. With experience, the psychologist can do important work for a population greatly in need of these important services.
