A large delegation of African business women leaders and ministers are visiting Kansas City, Mo. to learn about potential business partnerships between the United States and Africa. The State Department and The Corporate Council on Africa selected Kansas City to highlight the American heartland, with a particular focus on expanding agri-business and the food sector and service industries. Leawood Mayor Peggy Dunn will host the event. The keynote speaker is African Union Commission Deputy Chairman Erastus Mwencha. The Kansas City law firm Polsinelli Shughart PC is hosting the delegation at a luncheon Aug. 5 at the Kansas City Marriott Muehlbach Hotel, 12th & Wyandotte Streets, SE Corner, Kansas City, Mo. from 12:00 pm – 1:45 pm. The media is invited to attend. "Increasingly, we are living in a global marketplace and activities and developments abroad affect life here in Kansas City," said Polsinelli Shughart Chairman Russ Welsh. "While we are headquartered in Kansas City, our law firm has a global vision for business and relationships which includes our affiliations with international legal networks, Multilaw and Mackrell, which provide our clients with attorney connections throughout the world." This is the first time the African Women's Entrepreneurship Program (AWEP) has been held outside Washington, D.C. President Bill Clinton signed into law The African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) May 18, 2000 to expand U.S./sub-Saharan African trade and investment, stimulate economic growth, promote a high-level dialogue on trade and investment-related issues, encourage economic integration and facilitate sub-Saharan Africa's integration into the local economy. President Barack Obama has said African women are "part of the world, not a world apart," and Polsinelli Shughart Shareholder Anita Estell echoes that sentiment and shows her commitment to the cause by serving as a board member of The Corporate Council on Africa. "Africa is the last unexplored frontier. The Chinese and the Europeans have recognized the value of Africa for hundreds of years," said Estell, who is a member of the Public Policy – National practice in Washington, D.C. "They have vast resources in terms of human talent and commodities and can provide American businesses with significant opportunities. They need our skills and technologies and we need theirs." Estell says Polsinelli Shughart is visionary and responsive in a time of great change shaped by global dynamics. Estell has visited Africa as part of a delegation with President Bill Clinton in the mid 1990's, and was a presenter at the International World Conference on HIV/Aids in Durbin, South Africa. "We are coming full circle as a people on the planet Earth and embracing our similarities," said Estell. "There is a recognition that we are all in this together and we have to reach beyond that which is familiar to establish the foundations." For the media The media is invited to attend the luncheon and interview the women and ministers. Interpreters are available for our non-English speaking guests. Potential stories include: • Human interest stories about women business leaders in Africa • Need for partnerships between United States and Africa • Kansas City businesses currently conducting business with Africa • Interview Anita Estell, prominent African-American partner in national law firm and law firm's role in AWEP • B-Roll opportunities include touring the Roasterie at 2 p.m. immediately following the luncheon. The Roasterie is currently importing African coffee. • Law firm PR team can assist with connections to members of The State Department and The Corporate Counsel on Africa

This is an almost embarrassingly easy dessert recipe. It's perfect for a last-minute pudding panic, for using up ripe pineapple or for a dinner party where you really want to keep the cooking simple. Although it's incredibly quick and straightforward, this is a super tasty and refreshing dish. The sugar on top becomes dark and caramelized with a bitter taste, the rum gives a light kick and if you've picked a perfectly ripe pineapples then the fruit is sweet and juicy.
Top tip: to check whether a pineapple is ripe before buying, gently pull on one of the leaves. If it comes away easily then the pineapple is ripe, if not then root around for another one.
Ingredients (serves 4)
1 ripe pineapple
4-6 tsp brown sugar
Small shot of dark rum
1. Heat the grill to high.
2. Cut the pineapple into quarters – if you'd like to make this easier then you can cut the top off, but I think it looks prettier to keep it on. Use a sharp knife to remove the hard core and then slice down to (but not through) the skin at 2-3cm intervals.
3. Lay the pineapple quarters on a grill tray lined with foil.
4. Pour a couple of teaspoons of rum over each quarter, followed by the brown sugar.
5. Place under the hot grill for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar is bubbling and the pineapple is warmed through.
These are lovely enjoyed by themselves, though you could also serve it with some vanilla, or even rum and raisin, ice cream.

"Because I had something to say"
Dutch women authors from the 19th century
An exhibition
On the 30th of September, the Museum of Dutch Literature, in collaboration with Huygens ING and the KB, National Library of the Netherlands, opened the exhibition "Omdat ik iets te zeggen had", presenting a number of nineteenth-century Dutch women authors.
The exhibition was organized in the context of the European HERA research project Travelling TexTs 1790-1914: The Transnational Reception of Women's Writing at the Fringes of Europe. This project is carried out at the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands, and at the universities from Turku (Finland), Volda (Norway), Nova Gorica (Slovenia) and Glasgow (United Kingdom). The project is a continuation of earlier undertakings financed by NWO and COST, such as New approaches to European Women's Writing (NEWW) and Women Writers in History.
The other party collaborating in the exhibition is the "Damesleesmuseum" (Ladies' Reading Museum) from The Hague: a late-nineteenth-century library which played an important role in the international circulation of women's writings, and still exists today.
A workshop
On the occasion of the opening of the exhibition "Omdat ik iets te zeggen had", the Dutch team of HERA TTT organized a "Knowledge Exchange Workshop" on September 29 and 30, 2015. It was entitled:
Women's History: Research, Dissemination and the role of the Digital
This "Knowledge Exchange Workshop" discussed in a quite informal way the potential impact of research in literary history, and the means at our disposal for trying to reach a larger audience. We focused on research about the roles women played in the historical literary field, and on the possibilities created by the growing online presence of texts (including those by women). This was considered in direct relationship with the interest of "engaged citizens" participating in research, digitizing and crowd sourcing projects.
The exhibition was actually prepared with the collaboration of a number of these non-specialist, voluntary collaborators, who each of them were struck by the fact that these nineteenth-century women authors do have "something to say" – not only to researchers, but also to present-day non-specialized interested readers. The voluntary collaborators participated in the presentations and discussions.
Each of the invited speakers delivered a brief presentation discussing her/his activities within this field, which introduced common reflection and brainstorming between the panel members and the audience.
Further information
The exhibition "Omdat ik iets te zeggen had" will also be shown in Haarlem (Noord-Hollands Archief: February-March 2016), in Amsterdam (Atria, Knowledge center for Emancipation and Women's history: April 2016) and in Utrecht (Public Library: September-October 2016). In each location the presentation will be adapted to local circumstances. It will include material from these archives or show local authors.

I have created a separate blog on Bowel Resection Home Recovery. I have a recurrence of colo/rectal cancer and am starting to record early. If you wish to go to the new blog please go to http://bowelresectionhomerecover.blogspot.com/May 30, 2011
The ABC's of Bowel Resection Recovery @ Home
About the Author:
About the Surgery
We are not alike
Drugs I have taken during home recovery
Update: January 2009
Now two years have passed. I continue to learn. I am not sure if I am continuing to improve or if things change as part of a natural process. I still have bowel issues, but they aren't bad. Having suffered a small bowel obstruction six months ago I find that I have some psychological issues. I am convinced the cancer is gone. In fact Thursday I had an appointment with the surgeon who did the procedure and he stressed that the cancer was Stage 1, it was caught so early that I am cured. My risk of occurrence is the same as someone who never had colon cancer, 1 maybe 2%. However the bowel obstruction could occur at any time. I found that experience very miserable and do not want to repeat that episode. However, now that I know what the sensation is I would probably tolerate the problem better, but it scared the heck out of me.
I still find that certain foods seem to trigger gas attacks. Some fatty foods can cause me to go to the bathroom as if I'd taken a strong laxative. I do not experience diarrhea, but the stool will be soft. I will go a lot and often, then when the system has cleared itself I start again. I do have a number of days where I feel normal. My confidence grows, and I'm feeling real good. I am more sensitive to digestive tract action, bloating, little pains that might arise then disappear. I have a feeling they were always there, I just wasn't sensitized to them.
Life is good, I have no limitation, enjoy all manner of food and spice doesn't seem to make a difference. Fat content does, but not all of the time. I am learning to live in the new paradigm.
Good luck all.
Update: March 25, 2009
I meant to include in an update some time ago a difficulty I ran into called a bowel obstruction. One of the reasons surgeons do not like invasive abdominal surgery is you can have adhesions. I don't know a lot about them, but as I understand it they can be where tissue once separate can grow together. It almost sounds as though you might have one attach two separate sets of tissue.
June of 2008 I began to experience a stomach ache, the old fashioned kind I refer to as a green apple stomach ache. Just painful, no gas, no diarrhea, nothing but a tummy ache. It began on Monday morning and lasted in varying degrees of discomfort all Monday and Monday evening. Tuesday morning it seemed better and I took my morning walk, however after eating breakfast it got worse and I lay on the bed much of the morning. About noon it really became painful, to the point it was difficult to walk upright. I took a laxative as I hadn't gone for two days. Nothing happened. While sitting on the commode I became very sick and in severe pain. I ended up lying on the bathroom floor in a fetal position as that was the only way I could get a little relief. I broke out in a pouring sweat, and had chills. My wife told me she had never seen anything like it. I vomited but not much relief. I finally got dressed and went to our family doctor.
They took an X-ray, ran some blood tests, and I became sick in his office. They gave me a shot for nausea and pain and sent me to the emergency room. I was diagnosed with Small Bowel Obstruction and they put a NG tube in my nose. I believe that stands for nasal gastrointestinal tube, it is how they pump your stomach. All manner of stuff was pumped out. The surgeon who had performed my surgery came in and told me I had this obstruction. The NG hose also creates a slight vacuum in the stomach and sometimes the obstruction which was described as a kink in a water hose, will relieve itself. Otherwise surgery is required to relieve the obstruction.
Fortunately the vacuum worked about 3 AM I began passing gas, loose bowel and for about an hour and a half I kept the staff busy helping me clean myself, filling a portable commode about three times, and having to change my gown and bedding about four times. It was embarrasing but the staff was very understanding and forgiving and supportive, God bless them. The next morning the surgeon removed the tube, I was put on a liquid diet for one day to see if the obstruction had disappeared and I was released. Two days later I was on a two week car trip by myself to Michigan to visit relatives.
Tummy ache that gets progressively worse.
You do not pass gas, nor have a bowel movement.
Nausea with vomiting
Progressively increasing pain.
What to do:
Make sure the pain isn't gas. You'll know that. A small bowel obstruction gives you a band of pain across the top of your tummy in a band from left to right. A large bowel obstruction is much lower, below the tummy.
Switch to liquids, don't keep stuffing food in as I did even though you get hungry.
Notify the Doctor and get the hence to an ER
Follow Up:
I had a SBFT (Small Bowel Follow Through) You drink a foul barium solution and have to wait until it coats your small bowel then the radiologist looks at your small intestines and looks for an obstruction. Normally there isn't one which indicates and adhesion. Otherwise surgery.
If it is a large bowel obstruction then it means a colonoscopy which I would frankly rather than the SBFT. My bowels really reacted poorly to the barium and my stools where white for two weeks.
Update: April 28, 2012
The first update in 2009, wow, was I ever wrong. I stated that I was cancer free and had reverted to the position of not having had cancer at all. It was there. It was there from the very beginning. In April of 2011 a colonoscopy reveal a recurrence of the colon cancer at the anastamosis, that is the seam of the original incision. The radiologist said it probably was at the cellular level and drugs would probably not have effected it, so I guess it was the luck of the draw. I am going to write a blog on the recurrence and subsequent issues with that because I had radiation/chemo, and iliostomy, and reversal. It was a hell of a process and a tough road. I am good now, but for how long, forever I guess.

Hi ,

i used the following code but it's not working i don't know why
RequestSubmitted_TaskProperties.ExtendedProperties["TxtValue"] = "My Value";
so please advice
Hey guys, I need some help, please. How can I open, in a modal windows or pop up, an InfoPath form from inside another InfoPath form using a button or maybe a link. I need to be able to have both forms on the screen.

I have a shared database that drives Windows Mobile Apps, Windows WPF Clients and now rich client InfoPath form (this wont be used an InfoPath web, only the rich office client)...
This database contains a list of daily changing of Audit Questions depending on the week and season etc.
I want to make a call to the database from InfoPath, pull back a list of LabelName and Controltype_id 1=checkbox 2 = textbox
In the Onload Event of the InfoPath form I want to dynamically create Textbox/Checkboxs with the label names from the database, with an question_id per answer. Then the user will disconnect their internet and drive to the place without service (large metal
multiroom coolstores without 3G service) and fill in the checklist, the the user presses a button, and it evaluates all the answers and makes the background colour grey or black, and change the font colour to white. then the user presses the submit
it back to the server when they are back in 3G service again.
How can this be acheived? can someone send me some example code that works, thanks.
Please dont reply with "this is not possible", make the impossible possible.
1,000s of people told me I couldn't get barcodes into InfoPath even with the cursor on any form field. But I did it.

So you want to learn how to chant nam myoho renge kyo?
A short film created by the SGI a Buddhist Peace movement of which I am a member.
A great introduction video which simply explains what you need to do to learn how to chant nam myoho renge kyo,
Nichiren Said:
"It is the same with a Buddha and an ordinary being. When deluded, one is called an ordinary being, but when enlightened, one is called a Buddha. This is similar to a tarnished mirror that will shine like a jewel when polished. A mind now clouded by the illusions of the innate darkness of life is like a tarnished mirror, but when polished. it is sure to become like a clear mirror, reflecting the essential nature of phenomena and the true aspect of reality. Arouse deep faith, and diligently polish your mirror day and night. How should you polish it? Only by chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."

We had the most memorable time at Valley Views glamping, what an awesome location and lovely hosts - Patrick & Amber... wish we had stayed longer. Sophie was in love with the dogs - Hank & Tinky and wanted to take Tinky home ... absolutely a must visit when you are around this part of New Zealand.
What an amazing time we had. Gorgeous location. Beautifully maintained and spacious. We went with work for 3 days and it was heaven. Thank you.
Thank you so much for our stay, we enjoyed every moment. Everything is thought of down to the last detail, so impressed it was an exceptional experience. We will be back soon!
Our alps to ocean cycle crew of 15 had the pleasure of staying here on our last night and absolutely loved it! the hospitality, accommodation and surroundings are absolutely stunning and we can't wait to come back!! Having a bath in the forest at sunset was a highlight Thank you Amber and Patrick!
If I could give Amber and Patrick 10 million stars, I would. From flexibility with planning to the stay at this unique accommodation, we felt comfortable and treated so kindly. Amber made it possible for our group of four to come to her home where the family has set up an unbelievable glamping campsite with the perfect view. I actually teared up when she gave us a tour of our home for the next two days, and when it was over, we didn't want to leave. We felt like we had known the family for years and every last detail had been through of. We were able to rest and enjoy the peacefulness and beauty that their property has to offer. If you're lucky enough to stay here and meet these people, cherish every moment. The property and accommodation reflects the people: warm, unique, joyful, and peaceful. I am so grateful for our stay here and hope to stay in touch with amber and Patrick for a long time.

Here is something you guys may or may not know about me I love coffee! I probably drink two cups of regular coffee made from the pot (In the morning and afternoon haha in case you wanted to know)!
But the really bad thing is that I love it really sweet. I always put a ton of sugar which is bad for me I know. To make matters worse diabetes runs through my family, my mom recently found out she had it. Now I have been trying to find different healthier alternatives from sugar.
I tried sweet & low and found it to be disgusting I can't figure out why people use it and then I used splenda which wasn't that bad but one package was way too sweet and I wasn't the biggest fan of it.
Then when I got truvia I loved it and am definitely going to repurchase it because it wasn't overly sweet but still had a wonderful taste. I would recommend this to anyone trying to kick their sugar habit. I also heard that it is really good for cooking and baking. I have yet to try that but I will.

Face Off Reaches Dangerous Levels Of Whimsy
The challenge is to make comedic fantasy duos. The word 'zany' does not appear in the instructions, but some teams hear it anyway.
Getting The New Challenge
What comes to mind when I say "Shrek and Donkey" and "Legolas and Gimli"? Correct: unresolved sexual tension. But that's not what comes to McKenzie Westmore's mind, apparently, because those are the examples she uses to introduce a challenge about "mismatched comedic fantasy duos." Models come out in silly-looking fat suits to provide some sort of direction to the whole thing. Each team gets one male and one female model, so maybe the (hetero)sexual tension thing was supposed to be there all along.
Design Phase
Ben and Evan have a female wood elf and a male minotaur, so they've settled on an old married couple going on a vacation in Middle Earth. This is pretty much the storyline everyone else is going with, too. Old married couples are inherently funny to young people. Ben and Evan spend some time talking about how their elf will have a beehive hairdo that's an actual beehive, which seems like kind of a level one joke to me. It could probably be punched up, right?
Emily and Tyler are pairing a gentle faun and a greedy goblin, and I like how they have their models kind of get into character for them so that they can see how the fat suits will inform their posture.
Adam and Logan are teaming a fun-loving, book-smart naiad (fish lady) with a construction worker orc. I'll say right now that they could probably trim at least one descriptor off the naiad.
Cig and George decide that their old, cranky dwarf lady will team up with an ogre that's basically Lenny from Of Mice And Men. I like how even though those character types aren't identical, they aren't as obviously opposite as some of the other teams.
Keaghlan and Melissa have a fairy and a troll, and they're doing the same mismatched married couple idea. Keaghlan will be doing the fairy because she likes bright, pretty colors.
Day 1 Begins
George is excited to work on the dwarf makeup, because he wants to do realistic silicone old-age makeup, which he considers himself pretty good at. Cig, of course, is happy to let him do that, because doing a big, dumb ogre is something that's solidly in Cig's wheelhouse. And the challenge being explicitly comedic should probably work to their strengths, too.
Keaghlan is also sculpting realistic old-age makeup for her fairy, although she's putting in a pixie nose for an element of whimsy. People say "whimsy" more on this show than anywhere else in the world.
George isn't the only one using this challenge as an opportunity to show off a specialized skill. Emily's planning on using her skills with hair to make their faun all fancy. That means she and Tyler have to get their cowls sculpted and into molds on Day 1 so that they'll have time to put the hair on, but it also means the cowls don't have to be as finished as usual. Emily gets Tyler to do some of the specific molding work, which I think is a good use of a teammate.
Ben spends most of the day sculpting the beehive cowl, and then hating it because he spent all that time on something that doesn't look organic. And I feel like he could have just fabricated it anyway, since it's basically just a big hat.
Mentor Session
We have few enough teams left now that we get to see a bit of Mr. Westmore's interaction with everybody. Push those cheekbones. Pull the mask all the way up the forehead past the hairline. Make that elf chin pointier. Make that cooler. Put on bigger gills. Consider adding some cracking on those lips to make them look older. It goes quickly, but it's a good montage of advice. Mr. Westmore rarely says things (that we see) that aren't practical, applicable advice. Instead of "This is awful; start over" (which Tim Gunn has kind of started doing), it's all very specific tweaks to what's already been done, which I think honors the constestants' vision.
Back To Work (And Day 2)
Adam and Logan fall behind their schedule a bit, and it's frustrating them. Adam feels like he wasted hours on a cowl that won't even get molded fast enough to be used. And the cowl is going to be covered with stuff anyway, so what was all that work for, he would like to know. It's a pretty good question. And by the time it comes out of the mold, it's in two pieces instead of one. Adam's very cranky.
George, on the other hand, is having a great time. He's covered the pot belly of their fat suit with silicone so that Cig can paint it properly. But first George has to wear it to see how he'd look if he were fat. Because the dude loves props.
Emily and Tyler get to spend a lot of time on hair. Emily's doing the faun, so she give Tyler a quick lesson in how to prepare the goblin's hair. And it looks like she has a bit of trouble letting go, since she's always glancing over to keep an eye on things. Which is entirely appropriate, since she's the acknowledged hair expert on the team.
Application Day
We must be in some kind of hurry, because we don't even see the models come in. As soon as the day starts, the models are already seated and having stuff glued to their faces. It's a weird job they have, huh? A lot of teams have painted stuff ahead of time, which is a good idea when they have to do two looks instead of one.
George has to glue on the dwarf face carefully, because the silicone gets very thin toward the edges. He cheerfully warns the model that it will be her fault if they lose, and luckily the model takes it in the right spirit. Then he and Cig have their models see what expressions they can make with the appliances on, and I really like that they're doing that before painting. This way they know where the face is really going to wrinkle and what parts they want to highlight.
Keaghlan is doing lavender makeup. It's a big choice, and I don't think it's consistent with her earlier decision to do realistic old-age makeup. It's like she mentally checked off the box that said "Old Age" and now she's working on the box that says "Fairy" and is too close to the task to notice that the two things aren't going together.
We get a lot more process stuff than usual, which I appreciate. George not only demonstrates his spatter technique, he explains why he's doing it (it provides a more organic feel than a template or even by hand-painting), and why he's doing it at that point (he starts with the color of the appliance and works up toward the model's skin color). George also notes that his dwarf's jowls look weird, so he adds some carefully chosen hair to cover them up. You can totally give a female dwarf a beard, as long as it looks like it's on purpose.
Reveal Stage
There's no guest judge this week, which is disappointing. But I guess making them rare is a way to make them exciting when they do happen. Instead of filling in with people we've never heard of, they can be all directors and Doug Jones.
Keaghlan and Melissa have gone cartoony. Too cartoony, some might say. Like me. And the judges. And also Keaghlen and Melissa.
The lavender face doesn't read as "old age" at all. And I think she's acting too cheerful, too. Team Blue console themselves by saying that "they at least get it's humor." I guess that's something. It sounds like an excuse for a bad belly makeup, though.
Emily and Tyler have a really cool faun, and a goblin I don't really care about.
That faun has a great expression and body language that get across the personality immediately.
All I can look at on Adam and Logan's look is the immobile orc face.
You can get away with a big sculpted face sometimes, but when it's right next to a face that can emote freely, it just looks like a mask to me.
Ben and Evan made a long-suffering minotaur husband with an energetic elf wife.
Everyone appears to have been told that they had to come up with some sort of skit for their characters to enact. I could do without the energetic wackiness, which you can see on the elf's face.
Cig and George have the best faces, and they go together perfectly. Ve looks entranced by them.
Instead of sculpting things that look funny (kind of what Keaghlan and Melissa did), they sculpted characters that could be funny. I'm more and more impressed by these two, and by this point I'm decidedly on Team Cig and George.
The private judging has a lot of comments like "What do you suppose this is?" and "I don't get this character at all." And Glenn has a real tone of contempt in his voice as he comments on a hairdo that's "a literal beehive." On the other hand, they love George's old age makeup, with everyone agreeing that it's one of the best uses of silicone that's ever been seen on the show.
Glenn's big thing is that the challenge was to start with the body suits and build a character around that, and he wants to see characters that look like the body suit was just naturally chosen to go with the look. He talks about it a lot, especially about how well certain teams did that. I think this goes with his general tendency to care a lot about form language.
The judges praise the minotaur makeup by Ben and Evan, which they love. They are less in love with the elf's beehive hairdo.
Cig and George get showered with praise. You can't do better than comments like "The most sublime embodiment of a fantasy dwarf" and "You could not have done that better."
Keaghlan and Melissa have a much harsher critique. Nobody likes the fairy, because the lavender makeup is just a flat color. And Glenn points out that the troll has a fat, doughy body but a strong jawline. So the head doesn't go with the body, which is the sort of thing that really stands out to him.
Emily and Tyler's faun is everyone's favorite. The goblin has good colors, but it's mostly the faun that they love. I agree with the judges.
Adam and Logan's naiad comes in for a lot of criticism. The glasses don't make sense to anyone, and I think they're just there because they wrote down the words "book smart" at the top of the episode. And the bony fins coming off the top of her head don't make sense to anyone. The two characters don't seem to be from the same production design world. However, Glenn likes the way the orc looks like the body suit was chosen to go with the character.
In the final round of private judging, both Neville and Glenn mention last week's work. So I guess they do care a little bit about what happened before. Glenn's concerned that Keaghlan and Melissa haven't been moving forward creatively, and Glenn points out that Adam and Logan did that awful stone sailor thing last week.
The winning team is Cig and George, which pleases me. But I just thought of a really awful twist the show could do! What if they were named the winning team, but then the last episode split them up and made them go head-to-head for the title of winner? I hope no one's thought of that, because it's a very Reality Show thing to do, and it would make everyone sad.
The losing team is Keaghlan and Melissa, who are devastated, but not shocked, by the news. They're eliminated.
There's a good range of looks this week. The top looks are great and the bad looks are awful. Perfect!

Leesburg Baker's Dozen 2009
Had a real good time. I did much better than last year.
I learned my lesson last year from trying to go fast all day in a 13 hour race. Last year my lap times were low to mid 30's. But I got cramps by my 4th lap, and only finished 7 laps total.
This year we did two laps at a time, and that seemed to be better. I also was turning laps in the low 40s. That enabled me to do 9 total. Yueq also got 9 in. Our 18 laps only got us 16th place! The winning team in 2-person male got 25 laps in.
Our campsite was mellow and shady, much improved from last year. I also had my endurolytes with me. What a difference that made.
The race schedule was also better. Although I'm no fan of being out of the house by 0630 on a weekend, I chose to sleep at home in the best bed in the world rather than camp out. That the race was completed by 10pm was nice, it left some time to hang out by the fire. I'll need to bring my own post-ride food next year. Pizza is gross.

I have just been checking online for Lotus News. Paul Tan in Malaysia report that all the models shown by Lotus in Paris were in fact cancelled prior to them becoming the new owners. The bank loan to pay for the models had been spent, and the money is still owed to the banks!
Apparently, there will be a new model(s) in 2015/16.
What a mess.
Never mind. I assume the new model will use the Petronas designed engine. The Elise would be a good car for this product.
As Proton have now hired the Petronas Powertrain employees.
Meanwhile, together with the technologies, Proton has also acquired a
Petronas facility in Bangi and technological equipment from the national oil
"Two personnel From Petronas have joined us. Talks are being held with
Petronas to secure the remaining manpower of 60," he said. Bernama
Read more: Petronas engines to power Proton cars
I suppose they could also help in development of the unfinished Lotus 8 cylinder engine.
The car side of Lotus has been a drain, while the Engineering side pays for itself.
Nothing new there.
I didn't buy the Sunday Times this week. I had relatives over from Ireland and was busy. However, the paper ran an article on Lotus.
I got the link via this article on Truth about Cars.
I assume they can't understand how so few employees can run up so much debt with no end product.
Supposedly, KPMG decided the 5 car plan was not viable. They? cancelled the the plan. DRB-Hicom just rubber stamped their decision.
Seriously, I think DRB-Hicom should give me a call! I'm not an accountant. I can get a lot of people to vouch for my character, both positive and negative... depending who you ask.
Honestly, I do have a modicum of common sense, and I'm not a Know all big mouth. And I do have the skeleton of a workable viable plan. Historically this would mean that Group Lotus will have no interest in executing it.
Historically, Group Lotus have been in permanent crisis. Lets seriously look at a different approach. I'm different. My plan is different. Maybe doing something different is what Lotus needs!!
Hopefully, DRB-Hicom and Proton/Lotus can see that my educational proposal would compliment what they have got, and be profitable.
I am hoping that some people on the inside of Lotus look at my proposal with fresh eyes.
I can't be the only one who sees the potential.

No new Models for Group Lotus? Why did the banks lend them all that money?

Many people get excessively confused when they begin to seeming at outdoor kitchens. One of the big issues they raise is, how is an outdoor kitchen grill differing from other outdoor grills? The reply is, the grill is actually no different at all. If you consider about it, the majority grills we have come attached to handcarts that may or may not be on steering wheels to make it easier to travel them around. Image the matching grill, but with no farm cart, or legs and you have a grill that can be used as an outdoor kitchen grill.
That is most likely oversimplifying effects, but that is the common suggestion as to what these grills are. The thing that causes difficulties things is the truth that you have made a choice to attach an outdoor kitchen to your home, and that means you seem to upgrade. In most cases, that same old grill from your restricted home improvement store will basically not do when it appears to an outdoor kitchen gas grill. Some people prefer things like electric grills, but most people who construct an outdoor kitchen would like to go with a stainless steel bbq, and these are more luxurious than those cheaper grills we likely to purchase and make use of until they establish to fall distant from rust.
Normally an outdoor kitchen can cost anywhere from a few thousand the entire mode up to $30 thousand dollars. The grill is naturally the center of attraction when it move towards to the outdoor kitchen and grill, so it does not appear to construct any intellect at all to go inexpensive when you are building a chief upgrade to the outer surface of your home.

Will Buxton is a freelance motorsport journalist with a decade and a half's experience at the highest levels of his sport, and is the current Formula 1 pit reporter for NBC and NBCSN in the United States of America.
Buxton began his career as a journalist while still at University. He cut his teeth covering the University of Leeds (UK) Formula Student team, and whilst writing his Political Studies Thesis on "The Politics of Formula 1" began writing monthly feature articles for Joe Saward at www.grandprix.com.
On graduation, Buxton was given his first break into full-time journalism by David Tremayne at Formula 1 Publishing's Official Formula 1 Magazine. Buxton was employed as Staff Writer at the magazine until its closure in February 2004, at which point he embarked on a season as a freelance hack. Taking the old school route, Buxton decided to spend the 2004 season living in a campervan, driving from race to race and staying in the fan campsites at every European F1 event that year. It was to be an unforgettable experience and one which still shapes his writing style.
At the end of 2004 Buxton was offered the role of Press Officer for the newly formed GP2 Series. He leapt at the chance and after one year in the job was promoted to Director of Communications for the championship. He stayed with GP2 until the end of the 2007 season, when an opportunity to return to his first love of journalism arose.
In 2008 Buxton returned to full-time journalism as Editor of the newly launched GPWeek virtual magazine. Under Buxton's Editorship the magazine quickly established itself as a reliable and entertaining source of motorsports news and in two years under his guidance went from being a concept to a hugely popular weekly magazine with 10 million page hits at its peak in 2009, before his departure for a move into television at the end of the season.
Also in 2009, Buxton started providing commentary for the world feed of the GP2 and GP2 Asia Series for Formula One Management. His work came to the attention of SPEED channel and in 2010 he was appointed the channel's new pit reporter, making his debut for the station at the fourth round of the championship in China after taking the first three rounds off to be at home for the birth of his daughter. After three hugely enjoyable and successful seasons with SPEED, the broadcast rights for Formula 1 moved to NBC for the 2013 season, where he was invited to continue his role as F1 pit reporter as the sport began its new life on NBC and NBCSN. In addition to his work in the Formula 1 pitlane, Will has also been invited to be a part of the NBCSN broadcast team on a number of its Indycar races.
Buxton is a fully accredited Journalist and attends every Formula 1 Grand Prix. At the F1 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, he made his first appearance as the interviewer in the televised Formula 1 press conference and in 2010 added to his FOM commentary duties by taking on the role as commentator for the world feed of the newly established GP3 series, alongside his GP2 and SPEED work.
In 2015 he passed the GP2 and GP3 baton to the next generation, to fully focus on expanding his F1 role for NBC Sports. Since 2013 his role on NBC has grown from the role of pitlane reporter to include hosting and presenting a number of popular and successful series, including "Paddock Pass", "The Road to…" and "Off the Grid," as NBC took Formula 1 viewing figures in the United States to record levels.
Buxton also acts as compere, host and interviewer for official Formula 1 Fan Events and sponsor functions, in addition to acting as a regular racing pundit across global networks.

It's Wednesday afternoon, even though I usually post Wednesday mornings. Normally, I don't really condone excuses, but I've got a list of them for you today.
- NaNoWriMo - I'm between 47k and 48k, so I'm on track to finish my 50,000 words!!! This is very exciting. (And totally time consuming.)
- My husband has been working all sorts of crazy hours this month, so things have been a bit hectic in our household. Plus, I missing him. (Very sad for me, you see?)
- I've had an obnoxious cold for the past two weeks, and I actually chose to go to bed crazy early last night rather than write you an intelligent and entertaining blog post. (Ahhhhhh, it was a delightful night's sleep. I smile when I think back on it.)
- Nope. I'm out. Huh. I could have sworn I had a few others to throw out there.
And now let me distract you all with this picture of me petting a cow:
I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but this is a VERY large cow. Or at least I thought so. He was way bigger than me, I can tell you that.

One of the revelations of space travel has been obtaining a better viewpoint of Earth. Several astronauts, for example, have commented that they did not see any political boundaries while up in space – just the Earth as one unified globe.
In times past, many people may have thought that the Earth was flat, simply because it looked that way. But in this case the evidence presented to the senses conflicted with the evidence of intelligence, which revealed that it was really a sphere. The whole process of science is actually the process of taking the evidence of intelligence over the evidence of the senses, intelligence being more reliable than what might appear to be true from only a limited perspective.
When applying the Science of Christianity to healing the body, the evidence of the material senses should also be considered unreliable. To use our Earth analogy, when it became clear from space that Earth was, indeed, round, we would not say that Earth experienced a sudden healing of flatness. The Earth did not change; the only thing that changed (or needed changing) was our perspective. Once glimpsing the true nature of the Earth as round, one could never again believe the false evidence of its apparent flatness, nor fear falling off the Earth, because a higher perspective, understanding, had been gained.
So how can we see the spiritual reality of intelligence instead of believing the false evidence of the material senses? By knowing what is already true about our spiritual nature and being. In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy wrote, "God expresses in man the infinite idea forever developing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from a boundless basis" (p. 258). So we must start by knowing that we already proceed from a boundless, unlimited basis – our relationship to our perfect Creator as His image and likeness. Christ Jesus taught, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect" (Matt. 5: 48) – not, "Become ye therefore perfect."
When a man with a withered hand approached Jesus, Jesus did not accept this condition. He healed the man instantaneously (see Mark 3:5). Jesus would not have asked the man, "Stretch forth thine hand," if he had not already seen that he could do it. The evidence of the material senses was not as reliable as the spiritual evidence of the man's perfect nature as God's expression. Onlookers may have perceived this as the instantaneous fixing of a withered hand, but Christian Science shows it was actually proof of the already ever-true spiritual perfection of the man of God's making.
Spiritual healing is much more about gaining a new perspective than what might be considered fixing a "real" problem. The Earth did not need fixing, but a limited way of looking at it did need correcting. Mrs. Eddy wrote, "We apprehend Life in divine Science only as we live above corporeal sense and correct it" (Science and Health, p. 167). Letting that Mind be in us that was also in Christ Jesus (see Phil. 2:5) reveals that the spiritual evidence of health and harmony is much more reliable than the false evidence of disease or discord. As we gain a higher, spiritual perspective, the scientific reality of our perfection will become more evident.

The concept of the family super fund (FSF) has started to enter the vocabulary amongst SMSF trustees and advisers over the past year as a way to bring together family members to invest and manage their total wealth.
The focus of the family super fund concept is to provide for not only the members today, but to also provide for the effective transfer of wealth for future generations.
The effective transfer of wealth is an important issue moving forward, because as we live longer, it will not be uncommon that the next generation of beneficiaries will be close to retirement themselves.
Statistics as at 30 June 2010 shows the average fund having only 1.90 members, well below the minimum of four members allowed. The recent Super System Review (Cooper Review) which covered SMSFs, considered the issue of the number of fund members, but the Panel recommended no change to this arbitrary figure as the average didn't support any need to.
So, with a limitation of up to four fund members, what are the real benefits as to why you would consider setting up a "family super fund"? or by doing so, are you simply setting yourself up for a family feud?
Let's take a look at the pro's and con's of the family super fund:
Pro's of the Family Super Fund
- You have the ability to 'control' the family wealth through a single tax structure that provides significant tax concessions to benefit all members, both through accumulation and pension phase;
- The FSF could look to acquire property using a limited recourse borrowing arrangement. The older members could pay the deposit, with future contributions being made by the younger members to repayment the loan.
- Wealth of the younger members could be 'housed' within mum or dad's account to be taxed at concessional rates (maybe no tax) and redrawn as and when needed through a pension or lump sum (assuming mum or dad have retired and met a cashing condition). This concept is in reverse to what we understand with family trusts, as the focus is on distribution of wealth through members over 60, rather than spreading income across multiple beneficiaries.
- You have the ability to run reserves within the FSF to:
- transfer wealth from older members into the next generation. This can be done via allocated surplus amounts from reserve accounts
- self-insure all members – in particular be able to provide an income stream for a child within the fund in the event of disablement;
- To generate a large tax deduction through the payment of an anti-detriment amount (the tax-saving amount), when a lump sum is paid to a SIS dependant in the event of the death of a member; and
- hold specific assets (such as the family business premises) within the Reserves separate investment strategy to retain within the fund over many generations.
- The ability for the younger members of the fund to over time take a more active role in the fund as the parents get older and have less ability to manage the overall affairs of the fund. This can be achieved through granting an enduring power of attorney.
Con's of the family super fund
- SMSFs are naturally limited to no more than 4 members. How do you decide who to include or exclude when it comes to families of more than four?
- The marriage of children adds in-laws and a new life together for husband and wife and their own family. The supposed benefits of a family super fund can become lost on future generations as they start a new family of their own.
- In this day and age with people travelling and working all around the world, careful consideration needs to taken to ensure that the fund retains its complying status as an Australian Super Fund (meets the residency requirements to receive tax concessions). This could cause concerns should members decide to move overseas for a significant period of time.
- Operating a family super fund will add significant cost to the ongoing operation of the SMSF. Whilst many of the strategies can add significant benefit to the members, expect significant cost to manage these highly-technical strategies. It may simply be too cost prohibitive to consider running. Subject to the size of the family, this concept may need to be run through two SMSFs, with unit trusts, which as you can imagine, starts to add significant layers of costs.
A further issue to consider in deciding whether to proceed to build a family super fund includes how should you structure the voting rights of the fund – should each member have one vote or are votes based on account balance?
When deciding to build a family super fund, it is important to look at tailoring specific provisions of the fund's trust deed or introducing other agreements to deal with key family matters of holding this wealth inside a SMSF. For example, appropriate consideration needs to be given to issues around what happens to the business premises inside the super fund that runs the family business in the event of the death of a fund member? Can it be sold? Who can make this decision? Who has first rights to acquire?
The case of Katz vs. Grossman is an excellent example of how the concept of a family super fund can go wrong. Whilst not a family super fund in its own right, this case demonstrated the issues of adding in children (and subsequently in-laws) into the fund without understanding the impact of doing so – in this case at the exclusion of Ervin Katz's son. Without appropriately documenting the wishes of how a member's benefits are to be dealt with, the benefits of strategies introduced for the "family" can be quickly eroded in solicitors fees fighting over an estate.
Personally, I'm an advocate of the family super fund in certain circumstances, but it is not for everyone. I believe the size of the fund has a big role to play, including the amount of wealth held outside of super. The age of the beneficiaries and their own financial circumstances will also influence the result. Where a beneficiary is closer to retirement, their focus will be towards building super, assuming they have significantly reduced debt or even paid off their family home. Younger family members will still be struggling with mortgages and kid's school fees, so super simply isn't attractive at this stage of their lives.
I heard recently of a person who stated in their Will (after their death benefit nomination stated that their super benefits are to be paid to their Legal Personal Representative), that in the event of their death, $450,000 of their estate was to be paid to each child on one (1) condition… that they made a $450,000 contribution into superannuation to build for their own retirement. If they didn't do this, then these benefits were to be paid to the father's nominated charity, The Red Cross. If you are one of the beneficiaries, it makes for a pretty easy solution I would have thought!! however, it would arguably be more prudent for this member to start thinking about building a family super fund to benefit his next generation.

The supreme femme fatale, Catwoman, has always been the sexiest of Batman's foes. Known as a strong and captivating female, she always had a way of acquiring attention, especially with those alluring eyes with the painted black circles around them.
This is the only time dark circles around the eyes are sexy. Unless you are casting for the next Batman movie, leave the dark circles to Hollywood!
Dark circles under the eyes tend to age your appearance more than grey hair or wrinkles. Here are a few suggestions to help minimize the appearance of dark circles under your eyes and in some cases remove them completely!
Get sleep. Lack of sleep tends to cause the skin to become paler and reduces circulation. Before going to bed at night, remove all eye makeup. If you don't, when you get older, your eyes can look much more tired on a daily basis.
Eat well. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, take vitamins and drink plenty of water. A whole host of cosmetic problems can be attributed to vitamin deficiencies. Dark circles and puffiness are often attributed to lack of vitamin K or inadequate antioxidants. Also, a deficiency in B12 can result in dark circles.
Treat allergies. Allergies are a common cause of skin discoloration under the eyes.
If a full night of shut-eye, eating well and treating your allergies is not enough to erase those dark circles, here are my four makeup tips for erasing those dreary under-eye dark circles!
1. Apply a luminous eye primer to the upper lid and underneath the eye. This will keep the eye shadows from fading or creasing and its light reflective pigments will luminize the eye area for a healthy glow.
2. Create a "V" under each eye: Yellow-tone concealer on cheekbones (outer V) and a peachy one below each eye (inner V). Blend the two-toned "V" together.
3. For "major brightness," cover lower lash line (including inner rim / water line) with white gel liner (waterproof is best), then blend with a brush. This is my new favorite product, I love it! It erases the "pink" rim of the eye when your eyes are tired (or have been crying) and makes them look bright and alive!
4. Brush mascara through upper and lower lashes. "Use the mascara to cover traces of the white gel liner."
So ladies, dark circles are not something you need to be stuck with this summer. With a little rest and a swipe of concealer, you can say goodbye to drab eyes and hello to fab eyes!

I feel greatly privileged to think through these questions as a member of the Oxford-based 'Configuring Adam and Eve' team that is part of the wider BioLogos 'Evolution and Christian Faith' project. If I am honest, I am not only thrilled to be part of a group of scientists, philosophers, and theologians thinking about some of the recent discoveries and hypotheses about the development of the human species, I am also scared. I do not yet know where this will lead. My faith has grown around a certain understanding of human uniqueness and a historic Fall. As a systematic thinker and theologian, I resonate with the analysis of C. John Collins' Did Adam and Eve Really Exist? (2011) who claims that the Christian understanding of redemption seems to be intrinsically bound up with a particular understanding of the Fall.
I can see some ways in which these new evolutionary discoveries may be integrated with core Christian commitments, but I am far from certain what this will look like, and this uncertainty does create a sense of unease for me. Yet I believe we need to resist the temptation to run to quick conclusions, either by digging our heels in the sand defending classic solutions or by presenting new ideas as the new orthodoxy. There are historic considerations that warn us from jumping to quick conclusions. We have learned from past paradigm-shifting moments in history, such as those associated with Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Freud, that it often takes generations before theologians and the Christian community arrive at settled opinions on whether and how revolutionary ideas have implications for our understanding of the Gospel and of how God works in the world.
Neither do we need to jump to quick solutions, for our faith is in the crucified, risen, and living Christ and not in any specific understanding of how all that squares with every aspect of our lives and of what we know or think we know. Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue. When it later became apparent that these lines were too hastily drawn and could be crossed, the crossing of those boundaries brought the Christian faith into disrepute. The faith had become too closely associated with for example a geocentric universe which had been defended as the only biblical position. It is our calling to bring every aspect of our lives under the authority of Christ and all our thoughts captive to Christ, but it is equally evident that this is an ongoing journey. This is not only the case in our daily struggles to live holy lives – or even to know what this means in the complex world in which we live. This is equally the case when we strive to bring ever more areas of our culture and scientific thinking to the obedience of our Creator.
One tool that may help us in this effort of remaining faithful to the Gospel while open to the challenges we face is the realization that all our doctrinal commitments aren't equally authoritative. The Early Church has given certain doctrines a special status by marking them out as 'dogmas.' A dogma, such as the belief that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human, is critical to the Christian faith, because our salvation stands or falls with this truth. The Christian community has said that in our reflection on the person of Jesus Christ, we need to respect certain boundaries: we should always guard the conviction that Jesus is fully divine and fully human. These are, however, boundaries, and they do not intend to give an authoritative description of how we should picture the person of Christ and conceive of the relationship between his two natures in more detail. Theologians have in fact proposed a number of models of how we might conceive of this relationship. Some have talked about the communicatio idiomatum, the sharing of the characteristics between the two natures of Christ. Others have used the model of kenosis or self-emptying: the divine Son laid down his divine powers and prerogatives to live within the limits of human existence.
Our respect for these dogmatic boundaries and for biblical teaching (or 'doctrine') does therefore not stand or fall with our acceptance of certain doctrinal theories of how we should conceive of the person of Christ. We may exchange one theory for a better one. We can even hold on to the basic biblical doctrines without any theory at hand. My belief in the humanity or the divinity of Christ does not depend on such a theory. This is not a retreat to obscurantism. You do not need to have a good theory of sound to know that sound is real. You do not need a theory of depression in order to recognise it and to know that it is real. You do not need to deny the reality of love, because it is very hard to formulate an adequate theory of love. Most theories of love I have come across fall short of the reality they seek to describe—and sometimes we need multiple models to help us understand different aspects of the reality we are exploring.
It seems to me that some Christians' initial defensive posture toward evolutionary science is caused by the fact that we do not always know how to rate our doctrinal commitments appropriately. We rightly believe that the Bible is the Word of God, inspired and entirely trustworthy, but we associate that idea directly with a certain theory of how inspiration works and how the human words in the Scriptures can also be the Word of God. When our theory receives criticism, we feel that our deeper doctrinal convictions are under attack.
We believe the doctrine that humankind is different from the rest of the created world because it is created in the image of God and has a special covenantal relationship with God. We may associate this idea with one of a number of doctrinal theories that are currently on offer, for example, the theory that the human being is the only animal with a spiritual soul. There are, however, other theories that understand the image of God primarily in relational terms. Only human beings are created in the image of God because God has invited or called them in a covenantal relationship with him. These different theories will of course face different challenges when considering evolutionary science. When one theory appears inadequate, we may need to look for a different one, but we do not necessarily need to abandon the faith and doctrine that we are unique because we are created in the image of God.
Knowing that all my doctrinal commitments aren't equally central to my faith helps me personally to find the intellectual and existential space I need to deal with some of the leading theories on human evolution. I realize that some doctrines are worth fighting for much more than others. Some doctrines are indeed essential for safeguarding salvation. Without God being the Creator, for example, there can be no salvation in the Christian sense. If matter is intrinsically evil, as the Gnostics in the Early Church believed, we can only be saved from our physical existence, but there can be no salvation of this material world itself. Yet, other convictions may be more adequately viewed as doctrinal theories: they are efforts at explaining the reality of God which we encounter in the Scriptures and in Jesus Christ. Our faith does not of course depend on our ability to explain this reality any more than we can only believe in light if we have an adequate scientific theory explaining it.
Some of the recent debates about human evolution may indeed demand adjustment, maybe significant adjustment, of my theoretical understanding of how—for example—original sin works. But this doctrine has always been a conundrum. It is strongly confirmed by experience (particularly for those of us who have tried to raise children) and at the same time, it's one of the most difficult doctrines to understand (how can we square inheritance and responsibility?). My recognition that we are all enslaved to sin and in need of a Saviour is not necessarily linked to one specific doctrinal theory –not even to my ability to formulate any theory at all. The interface between current evolutionary findings with our Christian doctrines such as original sin does indeed create tensions. Distinguishing between what the Bible and the church teach concerning the human conditions and alternative and sometimes competing doctrinal theories that help us make sense of this reality may give us the conceptual space we need to engage with these issues.
